Last-place Blue Jays finish at 74-88
TORONTO Starting pitching was a problem all season for the Toronto Blue Jays, and game 162 was no exception.
Todd Redmond was knocked out before the end of Tampa Bay's six-run first inning and the Rays held on to beat the Blue Jays 7-6 on Sunday, clinching a tie for an AL wild-card berth.
A season that began with high hopes of ending a two-decade playoff drought soon turned sour in Toronto, as the Blue Jays struggled to get consistent efforts from new starters R.A. Dickey, Mark Buehrle and Josh Johnson. They also lost incumbents Brandon Morrow (forearm) and J.A. Happ (head, knee) to long-term injuries, while former staff leader Ricky Romero spent the bulk of the year in the minors.
Rather than pushing for the postseason, Toronto finished last in the AL East at 74-88.
"Obviously we didn't perform the way we hoped," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. "We need to get it right and get better."
Infielder Brett Lawrie was one of several key position players to miss time with injuries.
"We had a lot of people that thought we were going to win the World Series," Lawrie said. "But it takes a little bit of time to build chemistry. We had a little bit of trouble keeping some guys healthy, myself included."
Evan Longoria hit an RBI double as the Rays used their highest-scoring first inning since 2010 to go ahead early. Tampa Bay took a 7-0 lead into the sixth before Toronto rallied.
Redmond (4-3) got just two out, giving up five runs and four hits.
"It was a tough way for him to go out today," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Redmond, who had won his previous three decisions. "He's a lot better than that."
Rays manager Joe Maddon was ejected in the seventh and the Blue Jays put the go-ahead run at the plate in the eighth and ninth innings. Fernando Rodney got for four shaky outs for his 37th save in 45 chances.
"We knew the Rays needed that win today, and we weren't going to just give it to them," Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes said.
Tampa Bay is certainly familiar with big rallies on the final day. In 2011, the Rays overcome a 7-0 deficit in the eighth and came back to beat the Yankees 8-7 in 12th to clinch a wild-card spot.
This time, the Rays almost let a huge lead slip away. Maddon acknowledged thinking back to that 2011 game as the Blue Jays crept closer and closer.
"I did think that and it was really awkward," Maddon said, "but I thought this is different, we're looking through the windshield and not the rear view mirror today."
Matt Moore (17-4) won consecutive starts for the first time in more than two months. He allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1-3 innings. Moore walked three, all in the first inning, and struck out four.
Toronto broke through against Moore in the sixth when Mark DeRosa hit a two-run double. Moore left after Ryan Langerhans singled, and reliever Jake McGee gave up a sacrifice fly to J.P. Arencibia.
The Blue Jays cut it to 7-4 in the seventh on Lawrie's double. Joel Peralta replaced McGee and walked Moises Sierra to load the bases.
Maddon was ejected by home plate umpire Paul Schrieber for arguing, but Peralta escaped when pinch-hitter Adam Lind grounded the first pitch he saw into an inning-ending double play, with first baseman Loney making a superb catch on shortstop Escobar's low relay throw.
"He's done it all year," Maddon said of Loney's pivotal snag. "He's been fabulous."

One bad start doesn't spoil Mike Pelfrey for me. In fact, I was waiting for one to see how he would rebound.
I'm not sold yet on Duaner Sanchez, but was encouraged by how he looked today. Change-up was sharp. He's been through a lot and you want him to succeed.
Of course, if there's anything else on your mind, let's hear it.

There are a few webpages that claim to offer the wildest college porn films, but they are not even totally free. The quality is bad and the site is not updated everyday.The only site that you will need to visit is SlutLoad as they have great quality porn films downloads for totally free. The college women are sexy and extremely wild! They are definitely excited to do anything and everything that comes their way.
Who vocalized that college women do not know how to have crazy and wild sex? This site is great because they also offer several kinds of porn as will; such as MILF, girl on girl and a lot more. Don't bother wasting your time on another website as you already know they are not going to give you what you are truly looking for. If you are wanting to watch kinky girls getting their love holes rammed into over and over again and enjoying every moment then you are aware of where you need to check out. Seriously, where else can you see great free porn films at but Slut Load?

I just discovered this Guild today, and after skimming through the discussions, I couldn't fail to join this marvellous community.
I've been trying to create fantasy worlds since my early teens (as, I bet, many of the people here...). My chief interests are, as a linguist, the languages, and, of course (otherwise I wouldn't be here), maps. I only recently began drawing and creating on computer, and I'm still looking for good software (for now, I'm mucking around with The Gimp, being on linux).
My dream would be to be able to create a 'google earth'-like view of a world (from scratch), from large scale to (for now) not-so-large, on a single file format. I don't know if this is possible...
Anyway, I'm glad to be among you guys, I think this will be a great experience!

AMEX $150 Promotion May Still Be Active
Posted By Jim On 03/27/2007 @ 1:13 pm In Credit | No Comments
This promotion has ended.
This promotion is alive once again but this time it's for a free domestic airline ticket or $250 in gift cards – so it's back and better than last time! For more details on the new promotion, please read my post on the $250 American Express promotion [3].
According to nickel, the $150 promotion for signing up for an American Express Business Gold Rewards card [4] could still be alive and kicking. The card comes with a $125 annual fee that is waived for the first year but it sounds like the deal might still be good. I applied for the card when the promotion was actively being advertised so I don't know if this is still legit but it sounds like it could be. If that's not available, I have a list of cards that have promotional first purchase offers [5] that still are active (and actively advertised).
Word of caution, applying for credit cards will negatively impact your score so if you plan on buying a house or a car in the near future, don't apply for this or any credit card simply for promotional offers. If you aren't planning on big purchases, take the free money!

Kamei Restaurant Supply: Hidden Source for Home Decor
It may come as a surprise, but Kamei Restaurant Supply in the Inner Richmond is our go-to spot for cute accessories for around the home. Sure, they're best known for carrying all manner of cooking devices, from rooster-shaped cookie cutters to giant rice dispensers, but plenty of Kamei's inventory works for areas outside of the kitchen too. We picked up this curvy little vessel to hold our keys and other detritus that accumulates in our front entrance. The shape is reminiscent of Eva Ziesel designs, but at under $4 was a much more affordable find.

I haven't actually "competed" since high school. I ran the sprints by default but my primary focus was on both hurdle races (110H, 300IM). I didn't actually run any type of distance until I tore my ACL my sophmore year in college. As a way to stay in shape, I found that without having that particular ligament, the only direction I was able to run was straight. Since moving out to California I turned those distance runs into distance runs almost exclusively on trails.
No specifically set goals. Honestly I run more for the mental/psychological benefits than for the physical. When I go out on a run it is normally by myself with some headphones. No goals in mind besides getting away for a few hours, for as long as I can manage. I don't use a watch of any kind and don't really monitor my pace, distance, or time. I just listen to my body and try to push myself past the feeling of wanting to stop, usually after I push past that feeling I can get a few extra miles out of myself, and then just try to set myself up to get back to my car alive.
40-80 mi/wk
Forefoot / Neutral
I have been running 10ks and Half Marathons, here and there, since I was 16.
Finish my next half marathon in under 1:30 (ran my last half in 1:40).
40 mi/wk
Heel strike / moderate overpronator
My running history is young and scant, however, my appreciation for the sport has grown tremendously since I began working at RW in 2009. I have a half-marathon and a 10k under my belt, but I much prefer the accomplishment of just exercising on a regular basis.
Get out and run a few times a week.
10-15 mi/wk
Heel/Midfoot, Neutral
Ran a lot with my dad growing up. I remember doing track- PRE-middle school and being very nervous...I remember being called a good "anchor," and that's about it!
I want to run far...very far! Currently building a solid base and also wanting to get faster. I would like to do an ultra marathon in the next 2 years. Cross your fingers!
30-35 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / neutral
I have been running for 7 years now, competing in cross country and track and field at the high school and college level. I enjoy learning about different training philosophies and finding ways to improve my overall fitness. I'm currently focusing on running the 5000m for outdoor track.
Sub 15 5k... Post Track Season: Join the ASICS Aggies!
70-80 mi/wk
Heel-Midfoot strike / neutral
I never was a runner before I moved to San Luis Obispo. I found community through the Cuesta Cross Country and Track Teams. I fell in love with the sport and camaraderie. I ran there for two years and now continue to run recreationally.
Have completed several 1/2 marathons and eventually want to work my way up to a couple ultras.
40-50 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / moderate support
Started running some in middle school (1986-87). Ran 4 years of cross country and track in high school. Ran 2 years in junior college and 2 years in college. Started running Ultra Marathons in 1998 and turned mainly to the trails since then. Have completed over 50 races of 50k to 100m in length.
Not get injured while getting in substantial mileage. Compete in 3-4 ultra races a year while still trying to chip away at my marathon time.
50-80 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / neutral
My running experience has undergone quite a shift since becoming an employee at Running Warehouse. Growing up, I only ran as necessary for the sports teams I played on, and as a college student I ran occasionally for exercise. In the last 2-3 years I have been running much more regularly and have participated in several local races. The highlight of my running experience is getting out on the trails several times a week.
To stay fit, to run consistently, and to run the City to Sea Half Marathon in October of this year.
15-20 mi/wk
Heel/Midfoot, mild over-pronation
Started with track and field in 1985. Competed in hurdles, sprints, relays long jump and triple jump in HS. Competed in the 400 hurdles and 800m in junior college. Ran a season of XC in junior college. Coached HS track for over 10 years and was a HS XC assistant coach for 8 years. Used to run 6-7 days a week between 30 and 50 miles a week at my peak of distance running. Have worked in the running specialty industry since 1996.
Run and cycle for fitness. Alternating between the two seems to keep me healthy. In the past I have had issues with patellar tendonitis, IT band syndrome and piriformis syndrome.
20-30 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / mild overpronator
I used to play soccer, but I didn't start running until college. I ran my first full marathon in 2008, then took a break for about a year. After that, I started running more consistently. Now I've done 12 marathons and am starting to do more trail running. I've got a couple of 50 Ks and one 50 miler under my belt now, and am planning on doing plenty more ultras in the future. I've embraced the fact that I've pretty much converted from the road to the trails.
My goal usually varies depending on the race. I've ended up doing about 4 marathons per year the last few years, but now I am probably going to go with 3-4 ultras per year, meanwhile increasing my strength.
50-70 mi/wk
Heel to midfoot strike / neutral
100m and 200m runner for SFSU track team, currently competing in 5k-half marathons and tri's.
Going for a marathon.
30-40 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / moderate overpronator
I discovered my passion for running on December 31, 2006.
Be young. Be healthy. Be present and be free.
20 mi/wk
Heel to midfoot strike / neutral
I only ran as it was necessary for sports in high school. And I actually dreaded the running aspect. After college I needed something to fill my spare time so I signed up for the San Diego Rock 'n Roll Marathon with Team in Training. I have run several more half marathons since then, and now I really just enjoy anything off the road: beach, trail, running or hiking. I do some fun runs here and there, and would like to do a competitive trail run some day. But for now I just enjoy the outdoors and the company that joins me to stay moderately in shape.
Keep fit enough to not start from zero when training for the next half.
15-20 mi/wk when the schedule permits
mid - forefoot strike/neutral - mild supination
I have been running competitively in XC and Track since freshman year of high school. Currently I am in my senior year at Cal Poly and competing for the Cal Poly Distance Club. I have been assistant coaching high school XC & Track for 4 years and it my goal to coach at the college level.
Goals for the upcoming track season are to stay healthy and execute good races. Hoping to go under 15:30 in the 5000m and 32:30 in the 10,000m
My average weekly mileage is 70-80 mi/wk
I mildly overpronate and I am a heel striker
I began running in high school to lose weight and get fit. Enjoying the outdoors, seeing new sights, and the feeling of pushing myself are my motivations to run.
Gain fitness to run farther on the trails and explore new places. I want to run commute to work a few more days per week. Also, training for a potential multi-day trail run trip to the mountains with good friends.
25 - 40 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / mild overpronator
I started running during my freshman year of high school because some of my best friends had gotten into it. I kept improving and stuck with it through those 4 years and ran collegiately for 4 years after that. I'm currently running for the ASICS Aggies and specialize in longer distance races from the 5,000m to 10,000m.
I want to improve on my 10K time on the track, but also am looking towards training for half marathons and eventually doing marathons if all goes well. I'll look to set time goals for those races once I run my first few.
80-90 mi/wk
Heel strike/moderate overpronator
Middle School & HS track & cross country. Raced everything from 800 meters-100 miles
I race often and every time the goal is a bit different.
50-80 mi/wk
Midfoot strike / mild overpronator

Kemp undergoes shoulder surgery
LOS ANGELES While the Dodgers were moving on to the National League Championship Series for the third time in the past six years, outfielder Matt Kemp was heading to the operating room.
Kemp underwent a surgical procedure Tuesday to address arthritic changes in the AC joint of his left shoulder. Dodgers team physician Neal ElAttrache planned to shave down the arthritic bone in Kemp's shoulder joint.
It is the second consecutive October that Kemp needed surgery on his left shoulder. This year's procedure did not involve the labrum or rotator cuff that was surgically repaired a year ago.
That surgery was more involved, and though he was ready to go opening day this year, Kemp was somewhat limited early in the season while recovering.
The estimated recovery time from Tuesday's procedure is 6-8 weeks, and Kemp is expected to be ready for spring training.
Kemp, 29, hit .270 with six home runs and 33 RBI this season. He was limited to 73 games by injuries to his shoulder, hamstring and ankle. He was ruled out for the postseason after complications from his July ankle injury were discovered. Kemp's ankle is expected to heal on its own, but minor arthroscopic surgery at some point this offseason is also possible.

The bakers at the Apple Works have a formula for making the state's best pie.
A mix of four varieties of sweet and tart apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces make up the base. Cinnamon and sugar help round out the filling.
And a closely guarded secret recipe crust ties it all together.
Among the all-American apple pies, Johnson County can claim one of the best. The Apple Works' version was voted the top pie in the state by Hoosiers and visitors at the Indiana Office of Tourism Development website.
The Trafalgar-area orchard and farm market normally sells 200 to 250 apple pies a week during the fall, so its staff had known that the dessert was popular. But to have it confirmed statewide allows the Apple Works to claim it as official.
"You feel like you've been rewarded for all of the hard work that you've put into it," said Janis Cooper, one of the head bakers at the Apple Works. "We've put in many hours perfecting this, and many more since they announced that we won."
In the Apple Works kitchen, Cooper and fellow baker Carol Brooks worked with a precision forged over thousands of pies. An automated roller flattened balls of floured dough into thin shells, which Cooper placed in empty pie pans.
Brooks added scoopfuls of the sugary apple filling, forming a mound of Jonathan, Jonagold and Cortland apples that threatened to overflow the pan.
The recipe calls for a mix of sweet and sour fruit, and the time of year depends on what varieties they use.
After a top layer of dough was added, Brooks adorned the pie with braids, cut-out apples and leaves. She gave it a hefty dusting of cinnamon, and then it was ready to go in the oven.
"They love the flavor, and they get their money's worth. It's a very full pie," Cooper said. "There's an eye appeal that draws people in."
The Apple Works' recipe has come together over dozens of years baking at the orchard, which Sarah and Rick Brown founded in 1989.
Fresh apples are obviously key to the popularity of the dessert. But the light and flaky pie crust is what the pie is most known for, Cooper said.
The shell is so popular that the bakers at Apple Works make empty pie crusts for people to fill themselves.
The business sells about 25 empty crusts each week, Brooks said.
"That's the one thing we'll never reveal. Our pie crust makes the pie," she said. "We've had several people try to get the recipe, but it's not going anywhere."
The pie contest was part of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development's fall campaign. Thirty-three pies from around the state were nominated, from the sugar cream pie from Madison's Clifty Inn Restaurant to the pumpkin pie at Amish Acres in Nappanee.
A top 10 list was voted by people visiting the tourism website. The Apple Works entry was the overall winner.
The point of the promotion was to recognize the top desserts in the state, said Mark Newman, director of the Indiana Office of Tourism Development.
Owner Sarah Brown was informed of the contest early in the fall, which coincides with the Apple Works' busiest time of year. She asked her baking staff if they wanted her to accept the nomination, knowing it would likely mean more work for them.
They enthusiastically accepted.
"It was one of the most exciting things I've ever had happen," Cooper said.

ECB\Busta Festival to start on February 7
The Annual Essequibo Cricket Board (ECB) Busta 50 overs Festival is set to commence on February 7 with four matches. The tournament was scheduled to be played in 2013, but was rescheduled due to inclement weather.
Wakenaam will play Bartica at the Wakenaam Community Centre ground, Leguan will take on East Bank Essequibo at Enterprise, South Essequibo will challenge Central Essequibo at Imam Bacchus ground and Affiance and Pomeroon will clash with North Essequibo at Anna Regina Community Centre ground in the first round.
The victorious teams will then compete in the semi-finals the following day before the top two battle in the final which is set for February 9. The winning and runner up sides will receive cash prizes and trophies while the best batsman, bowler and man-of-the-match in the final will also be rewarded.
Meanwhile, in an invited comment, president of the ECB Fizul Bacchus said that the board will organize more cricket at all levels in 2014. "Our main aim is to improve the game in the area, we won the U-17 inter county tournament last year which is a plus for us and we would like to continue in the same vein at the other levels which we know will not come easily", added Bacchus.
The president indicated that Essequibo is not short of talent, but they will need the support of the business community to lift the level of the game there. "We have to play more cricket especially the longer version of the game in order to improve and this is one of the main items on our agenda for 2014 and we will need the support from the business sector", he said.
The Guyana Beverage Company is one of the main sponsors of cricket in the county and Bacchus expressed gratitude to the Managing Director Robert Selman and his staff for their support over the years.

Explorer Louis Wu, an Earth-born human who was part of the first expedition to Ringworld, becomes enmeshed in interplanetary and interspecies intrigue as war, and a powerful new weapon, threatens to tear the Ringworld apart forever. Now, the future of Ringworld lies in the actions of its children: Tunesmith, the Ghould protector; Acolyte, the exiled son of Speaker-to-Animals, and Wembleth, a strange Ringworld native with a mysterious past. All must play a dangerous role in order to save Ringworld's population, and the stability of Ringworld itself.
Blending awe-inspiring science with non-stop action and fun, Ringworld's Children, the fourth installment of the multiple-award-winning saga, is the perfect introduction for readers new to this New York Times best-selling series and for long-time fans of Larry Niven's Ringworld.
©2004 Larry Niven; (P)2004 Blackstone Audiobooks
"Great Sci-Fi"
I for one happen to like the reading by Whitener. One should read at least "Ringworld" and "Protector" before reading this book as this one is based on both of these works. Great read, one that you don't want to stop until it is finish and then you want more.
"Back to his roots."
This book brought me back to the original excitement I felt when I first read Ringworld and Engineers. Much better than Throne or other titles. I agree with the other review about the narration. I often found myself thinking that the narrator had no comprehension whatsoever of the material he was reading. Every sentence seems to be read in an earnest fearful tone of voice that is totally out of context with the material he?s reading. I found it especially irksome that he choose to use a voice that resembled Goofy or Cletus the Slake Jawed Yokel for the Kzinti Accolite. He defiantly wasn't "getting it"
Still... It's great book. Glad I listened.
"Distracting narration."
Mispronounced words, ridiculous voicing of characters. Narration is just plain terrible. Acolyte sounds like a silly version of the cowardly lion. Really detracted from what would otherwise be a good addition to the series.
"Great sequel but deserves a better narration"
Ringworlds Children is as enticing as Ringworld, and I've been a fan of Ringworld since it's original release in the 70's. I won't spoil the ending for anyone here but it was excellent, you won't be disappointed. I have heard better narrations though and would buy this audio book again if a better narration was made. Still, it's great sci-fi.
"where are books 2 & 3 from this series?"
This is book 4 in the Ringworld Series. I enjoyed Ringworld and thought this was the sequel, but quickly became lost when starting to listen to it. I did some research and found that the 2nd book is called "The Ringworld Engineers", and the 3rd is called "The Ringworld Throne". Unfortunately, these do not seem to be available on Audible. Not sure how to rate it since my issue is with Audible and not the book - so going with 3 stars.
"narrator ruined consistency"
If you listen to these books in order then you'll have a hard time listening to this one. The new narrator has the usual pronunciations changes but has also completely changed the way characters sound. Ok fine no two actors are the same but now everything is cartoon-ish and annoying. Tunesmith nows sounds like a over energetic salesman and the kazin all sound like depressed cartoons with stuffed noeses. Good extension of the story ruined by the voice acting. Its so anoying im having a hard time finishing.
"Ringworld Population Revealed"
Poor Teela Brown
Louie Wu. Because he can always count on out-maneuvering those who would control him.
Just about everything, his alliteration, tonal infliction, &c
Tribes of Ringworld
I was somewhat dismayed that Teela's luck finally ran out on her and would have preferred a more storybook ending for her.
"Somewhat disappointing relative to earlier works"
Ringworld's Children is the 4th installment in Niven's Ringworld series. The original (published in 1970) won both the Hugo and Nebula awards. Niven followed up with a sequel and then a 3rd installment after a 17 year hiatus. RC arrived 8 years after that. As with some other recent Niven works, this installment builds on the past while retaining many of the usual suspects (Louis Wu and the Hindmost, for example). In this regard, reading the series in order is necessary for continuity. RC opens shortly after that last and concerns a serious danger to the Ringworld: various intelligent species have discovered the structure and are on the verge of war to gain control over the Pak technology. Along the way we learn more details about the origin of both the Ringworld and its builders as well as mankind's origins.
The science is respectable, but mostly unremarkable and not as prominent as in earlier Niven efforts. The early going is a bit excessive and plods along while at the same time, the latter stages offer the most in terms of plot development, but suffer from extensive infodumps that result in an uneven pacing throughout. The ending while somewhat spectacular nevertheless leaves the listener wanting more in terms of final resolutions for the various characters. In terms of an overall story arc for the Ringworld, this is a key component.
The narration is quite good and permits long uninterrupted sessions for a quick listen.
"Great Book - Breaks the Normal Ringworld mold."
Its better than most of the other ringworld books as it ties up many of the old storylines and is takes ringworld out of just a book about the ring to a book about the ringworld and how it is changing the world of know space.
Great book.
PS> I think the voice used for the Kzinti was really off key. Kzinti do not sound like ellmer Fudd.
"Good if you love the Ringworld"
Ringworld (also available at Audible) is fantastic Sci Fi. The sequel to it, Ringworld Engineers is also good (not available at Audible), but beyond that, there is just a lot of the same stuff. Bad Protectors killing each other over--and over--and over. Still, the narrator was decent and the story was pretty good if you love the Ringworld.

In his 1991 biography, A View From Above, Wilt Chamberlain wrote that he had had sex with approximately 20,000 women. "At my age," he wrote, "that equals out to having sex with 1.2 women a day, every day since I was fifteen years old." Chamberlain's claims ignited a wave of public criticism (and skepticism), to which he responded, "I don't see all this lovemaking as any kind of conquest; all I'm saying is that I like women, people are curious about my sex life, and to most people the number of women who have come and gone through my bedrooms (and various hotel rooms around the country) would boggle the mind." Chamberlains greatest accomplishment on the court took place on March 2, 1962, when he personally scored 100 points against the New York Knicks.

At least 3 industries see business value in security
For many companies even today, information security investments are driven largely by compliance demands rather than by business strategy. However, three industries may be leading the way in changing that dynamic. Large technology, media and telecommunications companies are recognizing that a security strategy and roadmap are vital business issues unto themselves, according to a study by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd.
While the IT security pros at many companies continue to struggle to grab the attention of the top decision makers, the chief executives and directors at tech, media and telecom companies are putting security on their agendas. They are starting to see security as a way to drive business value and differentiate themselves in the marketplace. More interesting, perhaps, compliance wasn't even included among these industries' top 10 security drivers. As Deloitte points out, this is a big shift.
Reading between the lines, I'm not seeing a set of businesses that has decided to embrace security (or, heaven forbid, that quaint old notion of privacy) for its inherent virtue. While that would certainly differentiate them from the pack, it might not be consistent with their idea of business value. What I'm seeing is a set of businesses discovering that it pays to be secure.
Nearly a fifth of the survey respondents said that the most important consequences of a security breach are the questions and complaints that come from customers. In other words, these businesses realize that customers expect security as part of the service. For 49 percent of them, budget constraints were the greatest factor holding back efforts to improve security.
Executives in these industries have shown that they are aware of the security threats that abound. Nearly three-fourths of those surveyed ranked breaches at third parties as the top threat. Denial of service attacks and employee mistakes ranked closely behind. Mobile and BYOD trends were cited by 74 percent of the executives as presenting an ongoing security concern.
Awareness being only the first step, however, fewer than half of the executives said they've established a plan for addressing security breaches. Illustrating a further disconnect, 88 percent of the executives indicated that they did not consider their own companies vulnerable to cyber attack, but somehow half of them admitted to a security threat in the past year.
Still, the Deloitte study suggests that progress is being made in the telecom, media and tech sectors. How about for the rest of you? - Caron

The Gomoa Fomena School Management Committee (SMC) in collaboration with the chiefs of the town, has enacted bye-laws that would sanction boys who impregnate school girls.
Similarly, parents of such boys would be summoned to the palace to face stiffer punishment.
Mr Ato Nyarkoh, Chairman of the SMC made this known when Campaign for Female Education (Camfed), a Non profitable organization, presented school materials to 10 Junior High schools in the Gomoa West of the Central Region at Gomoa Fomena.
The materials include school bags, new shoes, sanitary pads, pens and others.
According to the chairman, the move was to help curb teenage pregnancy and also to promote child-children education and to also check rampant pregnancy of school girls, especially final year JHS students.
Mr Nyarko warned parents whose children had benefited from Camfed bursary to take good care of them to enable them climb higher on the education ladder.
Ms Albert Bruce, Gomoa West Girl-Child Officer of Ghana Education Service (GES), assisted by some members of other district education committee made the presentation on behalf of the Camfed.
Ms Bruce appealed to the two traditional authorities in the Gomoa Area - Gomoa Akyempim and Ajumako Traditional, to institute bye-laws for the various towns and villages to help check teenage pregnancy among schools girls.
She said the Camfed had also extended its benefits to 260 female students at Gomoa Dawurampong and Mozano Senior High schools for this academic year.
Ms Bruce said Camfed would soon launch "Go to school education drive" in the Gomoa West to encourage more girl-child to enroll in school.
The NGO in March, 2011 launched a programme to promote girl-child education in the Gomoa West under which it offered scholarship to some selected girls to attend JSS to SHS.

Former PM continues defense testimony by accusing comptroller of pettiness, making him look like 'serial offender'
Aviad Glickman
Latest Update: 06.02.11, 13:00 / Israel News
Aviad Glickman
Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert began the second day of testimony at his trial Thursday, in which he is being charged with fraud and breach of trust, by crying out in denial that he took bribes from associates Morris Talansky and Uri Messer.
"I never took a bribe from Talansky, and I never hid bribes with Uri Messer. I told investigators this and I'm saying it again today," he yelled out in the courtroom while banging on the witness stand with his fist.
Earlier Olmert accused the State Comptroller of pettiness. "The impression people are working to create of me is that of a serial offender," he said.
"I'm not saying don't investigate, don't check, but why must you publish every two weeks?" he asked. When asked by the judge whether he believes State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss has a personal vendetta against him Olmert answered, "I don't know."
Olmert also discussed a long list of political topics on the stand. "Gilad Shalit's kidnapping was a traumatic experience, we all know that. It is not proper for me to get into this here. I accompanied this issue and made decisions. We did things that cannot be discussed. At this moment Gilad Shalit is not with us and this is without a doubt a difficult issue I carry with me," Olmert said as part of his description of various unrelated issues.
He also told the court of the moments following his predecessor's stroke – Ariel Sharon – after which he took office.
At some point during his testimony the judges lost patience, and asked his attorney to focus his questioning on the issues at hand. Moussia Arad said, "There is no doubt that Olmert acted properly in many matters. There is no need for him to describe all of the matters in which he acted properly."
"I was older, she was a young woman," he said. "We thought that she was the most qualified. She was just waiting for that moment… She came a long way, became the chief of the Prime Minister's Office."
"I have gone through much pain and distress to get here," he said. "What I'm telling you connects to who I am – not who I was made out to be… It's very very important that you get to know the man that I believe I am."

Habu facts, consequences of bite
1 of 2
An Okinawa Habu is placed into a tank on Kadena Air Base, Japan, May 29, 2013. There are four habu species on Okinawa, two native and two introduced species, that can be identified by their coloring of either yellow-green and black, or light or dark brown and black. Habus are also venomous, nocturnal and can be found in grassy farmland, caves, tombs and rock walls. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Hailey R. Davis/Released)

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan
(Editor's note: This is the second article in a series about the habu snake and the consequences of being bitten.)
Two native and two introduced species of habu snakes inhabit the vegetation and jungle of Okinawa, making hiking and late-night ground travel very dangerous for people here.
Due to warmer months, rodents like mice, shrew and other food sources come out of winter hiding locations, causing habu and other predators to be more active within the community.
Characteristics of the Okinawa Habu are a yellow-green coloring with dark alternating blotches on its back. Up to eight feet in length, the Okinawa Habu is longer than the three other species on the island, said U.S. Air Force Maj. Wesley Walker, Detachment 3 U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine medical entomology and public health consultant.
The Okinawa Habu's habitat is that of rock walls, caves and tombs. The Taiwan Habu, which grows up to 46 inches, and the Sakishima Habu, which grows up to 70 inches, are introduced species that inhabit caves and tombs as well. The Hime Habu, which grows up to 32 inches in length, is native to Okinawa and finds itself near wooded areas transitioning into fields and farming areas near fresh water.
Regardless of the species, they are extremely dangerous, and one bite could cause severe damage.
"If someone is bitten, they should remove themselves from the area of the snake," said U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Lawrence Decker, U.S. Naval Hospital Foster staff emergency medicine physician. "Transport the patient to the nearest medical facility as quickly as possible."
The injured part of the body should be immobilized, without using a tourniquet splint, in a functional position below the level of the heart, Decker and Walker said. The wound should then be cleansed for good infection control.
Staying calm and resisting the "cut and suck" method are very critical for survival during a venomous snake attack, Walker said. If an individual cuts an area in order to suck the venom out, they risk cutting arteries, veins or muscles.
This also causes further traumatic injury and introduces oral bacteria into the wound, Decker added. Tourniquets and pressure dressings can lead to worsening of local effects because the venom of a habu is hemotoxic, meaning it causes blood poisoning and can damage red blood cells.
When it comes to being bitten by a habu or any venomous snake, seeking medical attention immediately is critical.
"Treatment is primarily supportive," Decker said. "An (intravenous drip) will be started, labs will be drawn, and pain medication will be administered."
The individual will be monitored for severity of local pain, and redness or bleeding that occurs within an hour or two of the bite. They will also be monitored for hemolysis, which is the destruction of blood cells, and kidney function, Decker said.
"Severe local effects such as neuropathy and compartment syndrome, and treatment for infection complications such as tetanus will also be addressed," Decker added.
Because anti-venom can cause side-effects for those bitten by a habu snake, it is not administered first. An immediate side-effect risk is an anaphylactic reaction, meaning having sensitivity to the substance.
"This is more likely to occur when a patient has previously received anti-venom," Decker said. "They can also develop a febrile reaction called a pyrogenic reaction (or fever), which usually resolves without therapy."
Decker added that a patient can suffer from serum sickness which constitutes a rash, fever and polyarthritis, which affects five joints simultaneously. This usually begins one to two weeks after the first exposure to the anti-venom or other responsible agents, and resolve within a few weeks of discontinuation.
If an individual is bitten by a habu, and anti-venom is administered, once the individual recovers and based on occupational needs, it is up to their command whether the individual must leave the island. If service members and their families see a habu snake, contact the 18th Civil Engineer Squadron pest management flight with locations so they can take care of the situation.
Could you please include the phone number for the Civil Engineer Squadron pest management flight It's very difficult to find. Thank you.

The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection: Week Three Preview
November 23, 2010 12:00 PM by Lori Wilson
Week three of The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection includes a couple of team shakeups, as well as a surprise twist for the fashion designers' latest challenge.
Before the third challenge begins on The Fashion Show Ultimate Collection, House of Emerald and House of Nami must adjust to their new teammates. Based on Calvin's behavior up until this point, House of Nami is understandably wary of working with the trouble making designer. David calls adding Calvin to their team a kick in the stomach. They explain their team is built on trust and respect and they don't fight with each other, but we'll see how long that lasts. Dominique hopes Calvin will be willing to work with them, or else she foresees some problems in their future.
Over on House of Emerald, Caesar admits he ran as fast as he could when Calvin came to House of Nami because he doesn't like dirty players. While House of Emerald is thrilled to get the talented designer, they might not be so happy when he continues to help his former teammates during the challenge.
For the challenge itself, the remaining designers meet at Galapagos Art Space where Iman very dramatically lays out their inspiration for their next fashion show: The Femme Fatale. She instructs the designers to create a collection of nightlife looks based on this iconic character type. Each designer must of course create a fabulous look that can stand on it's own, as well as blend in with the rest of their house's collection. Iman then dolls out the catch – they only have 24 hours to create their collection.
Will the designers be able to pull off a stunning collection in one day? Will Calvin fit in with his new team? Find out when you tune into The Fashion House Ultimate Collection tonight on Bravo.

When I was a kid, if there was a food/drink/activity that I didn't enjoy, my dad would always bust out with "It will put hair on your chest," to try to convince me to do it. Of course, he was joking, but when you're seven years old, you're gullible, so I was convinced that certain things would indeed put hair on my chest. I devoured boxes of Wheaties because of my naivety and my dad's sense of humor.
Here's my short list of things that I was convinced would put hair on my chest as a kid:
What's on your list?
Views: 5124
Yukon Jack (still cant stand it, unless it's christmas eve)
Tabasco (I think it's my blood type now)
Black coffee
Cornmeal Mush (Like yellow grits with milk and sugar)
I remember having a male teacher all through my years in elementary school that used that phrase on me every time I complained about having to do something I didn't want to do, such as learning to type. I could site more examples, but I'd be showing myself for the old man I am every way but physically. When my teacher would tell me that, I'd always think that as an 8-year-old or however old I was, I didn't need chest hair and that I'd have it when I got older. Sure enough..... :)
My family has always used this phrase to describe anything spicy. Or strong alcohol.
Holding my breath for over a minute
Arm wrestling
Pillow fights
Real Fights
Catching grasshoppers, frogs, tadpoles, lizards, crawfish
Going into dark drainage tunnels
Climbing trees
Getting stitches
Playing Butts-up
Ball tag
Tackle football (no pads)
Knocking on people's doors and then running away
Sleeping outside in my fart sack
Exploring the neighborhood
Exploring the woods by neighborhood
Starting fires
Raising hell
Winning bike races
Winning foot races
Bad construction projects (we built a club house)
That'll do the trick.
Whiskey, Scotch, Guiness (my favorite beer), Fish Past (and sauce), Balut, Hard Work, Martinis (the original), MOJO (Phillippino hard punch drink), a friend's chili, Gumbo, Ghost Pepper hot sauce (this one actually burned the hair off my chest).
I love that phrase, it was always teamed up with "it'll build character" for just about anything you didn't want to do.
My old man was another of the fathers that would use this line. I know that I once heard it in a movie called Willow. But more to the point, my father would often say "It'll put hair on your chest" in order to coerce me to try any of the following:
Yard Work
Hard Alcohol
A new food
Working out
Watching a certain movie from his youth
Burned toast.
Love that phrase!
As a kid - usually when it came to ingesting anything I thought was nasty, yucky, or too green. I typically use it for spicy foods and high gravity beverages. Always fun to use it on the girls/ladies.

In a June 2007 column urging Billy Donovan not to go to the Magic, I wrote:
"Billy is coming from the premier college sports program in the nation with the best athletic director in Jeremy Foley.
And he is going to one of the more bumbling franchises in professional sports. Magic President Bob Vander Weide is to basketball what Inspector Clouseau is to law enforcement.''
Obviously I was wrong. But I still don't like the arena deal!!!!

Visit Interactive XXX Games
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Interactive XXX Games is more than just a site with some XXX games for adults. It also has Flash animations, interactive images and cartoons. This is a site where gaming enthusiasts who also enjoy adult content can indulge their passion for both.
The site is like a collection of porn that you usually find as bonus content. It has a bunch of Flash animation stories with a few cartoon picture sets and some games where you can direct the action with the click of your mouse. Don't get too excited, though, because you're somewhat limited by what you can do on InteractiveXXXGames.
There are several different categories in the user menu, like Flash animations, Flash games and Flash adventures. There's a category called "toon vision" and another that brings you stories. The easiest way to find everything is by clicking on the link labeled "show updates."
There are 56 Flash cartoons/games/animations/etc. and the quality is pretty good overall, but that is to be expected with animations and toons. The update schedule is a little confusing, but it looks like they are just rotating the content and changing the dates to make the material look much newer than it actually is.
The videos are generally pretty small in size. You can't download any of them and they're not really that long. One of the sections features some celebrity spoofs that are somewhat entertaining. For example, "Martha Screwfart Fucking," "Austin Penis" and "Who Wants to do a Millionaire." You'll have to do a little bit of clicking to see the whole story most of the time, though.
Those who are into Flash nudity might find something of interest here. Like I said before, because this content is usually added as an extra on many sites, it's a bit shocking to see a site that features it exclusively.
The price is way higher than what one might expect for this kind of content, especially given that usually when you see stuff like this it's free. Based on the quality and quantity, Interactive XXX Games is overpriced. However, the 10 bonus sites, including Erotic Asians, Anime Fresh, Erotic Comix and Totally Brunette, might make the price more appealing to some.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

A top finance ministry official on Saturday categorically ruled out accessing World Bank funds to recapitalise state-run banks, saying enough money has already been budgeted for this purpose.
Absolutely not, was financial services secretary Rajiv Takrus terse response when reporters asked him whether the government will seek a World Bank loan to infuse capital into the 26 public sector banks (PSBs).
We have already given the banks Rs 14,000 crore and will give more. We dont want any money from the World Bank to give to the banks as we have made enough provisions in the Budget for this, he reporters on the sidelines of a Ficci event here.
Earlier this week, the finance ministry had announced a Rs 14,000 crore capital infusion for banks. It had also said under a special scheme approved by the ministry, PSBs were asked to lend at lower rates to a slew of consumer products.
Under the capital infusion programme, SBI will get
Rs 2,000 crore, while IDBI Bank and Central Bank of India will get Rs 1,800 crore each. All PSBs, except Indian Bank which does not need fresh equity capital this year will be getting funds ranging between Rs 100 crore and Rs 2,000 crore.
The government uses the National Investment Fund to recapitalise its banks. Takru said the second round of infusion may come in Q4 depending on each banks requirement. We will be giving them more after judging their performance based on concessional lending towards home, auto and consumer durables. The scheme will last till January-end. he said.

Most American diners, when pushed, will tell you they want to eat better but don't want to put a lot of thought into it.
Julie Morris, a healthy chef and author of Superfood Cuisine: Cooking with Nature's Most Amazing Foods, reveals in her book some foods that give the greatest punch in terms of nutrition, and how these can be easily incorporated into any restaurant's dishes, without overwhelming—or frightening—customers.
"I define superfoods as being the most nutrient dense foods on the planet," Morris says. "They have the most amount of micronutrients for the lowest calorie costs. They're not for people dieting, but for people who want to be healthy. In fact these foods fill you up."
Here are Morris' top five suggestions:
1. Leafy greens
These foods (spinach, kale, arugula, lettuce, chard, etc.) are very low in calories and have lots of antioxidants. They also contain minerals including iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium; vitamins, including K, C, E, and many of the B vitamins; and phytonutrients such as lutein, beta-carotene, and zeaxanthin.
How to use them:Blend them into hummus or other dips; refurbish your pesto with added greens; add them to sauces — blended or as they are; or use them in place of tortilla wraps — blanch them for few seconds (less than 20) to make them more pliable and wrap them around foods for a lower-calorie, more nutritious wrap.
2. Chia seeds
Native to south America, these tiny seeds are extremely high in omega three fatty acids. In fact, they contain as much as salmon but there's no worry about mercury as there is with the fish. The seeds also contain a good amount of calcium and fiber.
"Chia seeds are very easily digested and are easy because they don't taste like anything at all and you only need a small amount of them," Morris says.
Chia seeds add a poppy seed-like look and texture. They're very high in mucilage, so absorb about nine times their weight in liquid, so they bulk up and get a texture like a tiny tapioca ball. This makes chia seeds a great thickening agent for sauces, jams, desserts, etc.
How to use them:Bake with them; sprinkle them on salads; put them in a pie crust or bread; use them in sauces, stews and soups to help thicken them.
3. Maqui berries
"These are the highest known antioxidant fruits and they are off the charts," Morris says. They're small purplish berries that often come from South America. These berries also have omega fatty acids and a good dollop of fiber, as well as vitamins A and C, calcium, iron, and potassium.
Maqui berries don't have a strong berry flavor but they do have strong color so are a great addition as a dye.
How to use them:Add a tiny amount of maqui berry powder to a cheesecake or other dessert and see it turn purple (the color turns to blue in 30 to 60 minutes so plan accordingly). Maqui berries are also fun to add to smoothies, lemonade and cocktails.
4. Quinoa
Quinoa is stuffed full of protein (it's a complete protein making it great for vegetarians), minerals (especially manganese, magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorus), and fiber.It's one of the easiest superfoods to incorporate into dishes because it can be used in place of any grain, Morris says. It acts like a carbohydrate and is full of protein but it's actually a seed. This means it's great for people with wheat allergies or celiac disease.
How to use it:In place of rice, couscous, pasta; in soups and stews; as a porridge or even as a sticking agent in dishes like veggie burgers.
5. Cacao
Who doesn't like chocolate? Chocolate comes from cacao and it's recently been discovered that cacao has vast amounts of antioxidants——almost eight times as many as blueberries. It also contains many minerals, including calcium and iron and more magnesium than any other food.
Cacao is slightly more acidic than regularly roasted cocoa but has a fruity note to it with a little cherry and some caramel.
How to use it:Combine it with chocolate in desserts; or make a raw dip or fondue – a combination of avocado, agave nectar, cacao powder and sea salt, which whipped up make a fondue pudding.
When including any of these foods in dishes, include the name of the superfood in the name of the dish itself so it's clear. But also make sure it's paired with foods that are already familiar so as not to overwhelm your customers, Morris suggests. A maqui strawberry gelato has a recognizable, yet exotic appeal.
It's also a good idea to educate your employees on the basic health benefits of some of these foods so they can easily point those out to diners.
But don't overdo it. Some consumers like to follow a healthier lifestyle but others don't care for it. Try to stick to one key attribute of the superfood and always stress flavor first, over the health benefits, to make these foods more appealing.
