what is the best local pub in Edinburgh for the true Scottish experience
City: Edinburgh
Constituent state: Scotland
Country: United Kingdom
One of Edinburgh's best and most attractive pubs is also one of its most difficult to find. The Cafe Royal Bar occupies one side of the superb building that also houses the Cafe Royal Restaurant. The best way to find it is via the pedestrian crossing across Princes Street in front of the Balmoral Hotel near Waverley Station. Cut up the side of Burger King and past the Guildford Arms and you find yourself outside the Cafe Royal Bar.
Cafe Royal is indeed a jewel in the Edinburgh pub scene and I heartily recommend the dining experience, as well as the great beers. But it is a Victorian pub experience, not a local pub. Unlike cities like Toronto where people still live in the centre of town, Edinburgh city centre is not a "local" residential district. People live out in the suburbs. Any city centre pub is likely to be populated by visitors, or by locals who have commuted in to town for a night out.

Just days after the domestic violence incident involving Chad Johnson, wife Evelyn Lozada is speaking out.
Related: Chad Johnson Released From Jail, Dropped From Miami Dolphins After Headbutting Wife
"I am deeply disappointed that Chad has failed to take responsibility for his actions and made false accusations against me," Lozada told TMZ. "It is my sincere hope that he seeks the help he needs to overcome his troubles. Domestic violence is not okay and hopefully my taking a stand will help encourage other women to break their silence as well."
On Saturday, Johnson was arrested after allegedly headbutting Lozada during an intense argument, leaving a 3-inch cut on her forehead. Lozada claims the altercation occurred after she confronted Johnson about a receipt for a box of condoms.
Johnson was arrested and charged with simple domestic battery, but was released early Sunday morning on $2,500 bond. Shortly after, the Miami Dolphins dismissed the 34-year-old NFL star from the team.
In a tragic turn of events, Lozada is also mourning the death of her brother-in-law Anthony Ochoa who lost his battle with cancer Monday night.
Ochoa appeared on several episodes of VH1's hit reality show Basketball Wives and was also reportedly featured in Lozada and Johnson's spinoff Ev and Ocho, before it was dropped from the network.

"Anthony was an amazing husband, father, and brother-in-law. He will be dearly missed," Lozada said in a statement.
Ochoa was 43.

In San Francisco, voters are gearing up for an historic election tomorrow, with the city's first Chinese-American mayor likely to win office. Ed Lee, the interim mayor is ahead, but he's also contending with 15 other candidates, several of whom are also Asian-American.
And that means other Asian-Americans may be just as busy as the candidates themselves, including people like Hiu Xiao, who reports in San Francisco for Sing Tao Daily, a Hong Kong-based paper that, like five other Chinese-language papers, circulates widely throughout San Francisco.
"I cover the political and especially the elections," says Xiao, who also goes by the first name Jane in the United States (she Americanized her name after arriving to the US from China in 2002).
And in this election, reporters like Xiao have power. Voting by San Francisco's large Chinese population, comprising one-quarter of the city's residents, may surge because of the ethnic Chinese candidates.
David Lee, head of the non-profit, nonpartisan Chinese American Voter Education Committee, says the strength of Chinese-language papers here cannot be underestimated.
"The Chinese community has a very strong history of newspaper readership," he says. "And many of our senior citizens for instance, retirees, read upwards to three or four papers every day. So that they can get a full picture of what's going on."
While it's tough to measure the Chinese papers' exact influence over voters, the papers' election coverage alone boosts the awareness of Asian-candidates–and perhaps their chances. That's a factor not missed by mayoral candidates such as David Chiu, president of the San Francisco board of supervisors, and a candidate for mayor.
Chiu says the influence of Chinese language papers this year may be especially noticeable.
"Their readership is enormous," said Chiu. "Every single day we have tens of thousands of San Franciscans who rely completely, read every single word of the major Chinese newspapers in town. This is why I have a regular sit-down with the Chinese press every two weeks. This is why we are in very, very close contact with the Chinese press."
Walking through San Francisco's historic Chinatown, Xiao points to campaign posters in Chinese for mayoral candidates Jeff Hitachi, Leland Lee, Ed Lee and David Chiu."
Xiao's paper is the only Chinese language paper to endorse candidates. Because the papers are all headquartered outside the United States, there is some concern they'll be seen as a foreign influence on U.S. elections, or that they'll ignore non-Asian candidates.
Shawn Lee, a 32-year-old editor at the World Journal, which caters to Taiwanese readers, says his paper doesn't back any candidate just those reasons.
"We try to stay neutral on political issues, so we don't speak for–we don't work for–the Taiwanese government," Lee says. He adds that his paper covers the election like other English-language papers. "We don't take sides," he says.
At the Sing Tao newsroom, while a radio station plays music from Hong Kong, editor Joyce Chen points to Jane Xiao's recent piece about San Francisco election officials coming to Chinatown. She says that Chinese language papers are providing a civic duty.
"We encourage people to vote," says Chen. "That's how we know or understand what a democracy is. We are a minority in this country, we are immigrants."
She adds that there's a certain pride in seeing San Francisco elect its first Chinese-American mayor as "just a way to show we can do it."
It's hard to gauge the real influence of all the Chinese language papers. But there's little question that they are being read. A lot.
Dan Chu, a real estate agent who moved to California from Hong Kong 30 years ago, lingers over a copy of Sing Tao at a Chinese bakery. He's not satisfied by the San Francisco Chronicle's small foreign news section.
"They're very narrow," says Chu. "Americans only talk about themselves. They don't talk about other parts of the world. They don't talk about Europe, they don't talk about Asia."
In contrast, with Sing Tao Daily, Chu says, "Look at all the pages, so many pages. You know I get to see the whole picture of the world."
It seems that if local papers want to be relevant to tens of thousands of potential readers, not to mention voters, they might have to change their focus pretty soon.

I added some fancy indexing support to lil_matrix and cs{rc}_matrix a couple of years ago. The code is a nightmare. I couldn't think of a better way to implement fancy indexing for sparse matrices, and still can't. In some of the remaining cases my conclusion was that fancy indexing couldn't be done efficiently at all, and I left these unimplemented (with, hopefully, some useful error messages) rather than implementing a slow, nasty algorithm. But ideas and patches are welcome! ;) -- Ed

St. Louis, MO, United States, 2013/05/03 - Builder takes steps to decrease healthcare expenses, increase productivity and build healthier lives - Heart.org / McCarthy.com.
McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. has been recognized as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite by the American Heart Association (AHA) for helping employees eat better and move more. This award will be presented during the Metro St. Louis Heart Walk this weekend at Busch Stadium.
Physical activity and employee wellness are important priorities at McCarthy, and we are honored and excited to be recognized again by the American Heart Association as a Platinum-Level Fit-Friendly Worksite, said Derek Glanvill, McCarthy president and chief operating officer. As an employee-owned company, were committed to providing the best workplace possible. This will benefit our employees health, the health of family members and ultimately produce even more positive results for our company overall.
The Fit-Friendly Worksites program is a catalyst for positive change in the American workforce, helping make employee health and wellness a priority. Platinum-level employers:
Offer employees physical activity options in the workplace;
Increase healthy eating options at the worksite;
Promote a wellness culture in the workplace;
Implement at least nine criteria outlined by the American Heart Association in the areas of physical activity, nutrition and culture;
Demonstrate measurable outcomes related to workplace wellness.
At McCarthy, safety has always been a core tenet of the companys mission. In 2010, McCarthy extended this effort to include the overall health and wellness of employees with the launch of McCarthy Build for Life. This comprehensive wellness program is designed to encourage all McCarthy employees and their families to strive toward optimal mental, physical, emotional and financial well-being. The program focuses on four key areas: Awareness, Prevention, Activity, and Lifestyle & Stress.
In 2012, McCarthy partnered with a wellness vendor, Vitality, to provide an interactive and personalized program taking into account an individuals overall health, lifestyle and risk factors, working with the individual to establish and achieve personal wellness goals, and finally motivating them with cost-savings on insurance premiums and other rewards along the way. Since the launch of this new wellness rewards program, McCarthy has seen overall participation in Build for Life rise to 87.4% through March 2013. In April, McCarthy launched its Gold Rush Challenge, an annual wellness challenge to encourage employee participation in the Build for Life program. The challenge runs through the end of May, with employees and spouses eligible to participate.
American employers are losing an estimated $225.8 billion a year because of healthcare expenses and health-related losses in productivity, and those numbers are rising. Many American adults spend most of their waking hours at sedentary jobs. Their lack of regular physical activity raises their risk for a host of medical problems, such as obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Employers face $12.7 billion in annual medical expenses due to obesity alone. The American Heart Association is working to change corporate cultures by motivating employees to start walking, which has the lowest dropout rate of any physical activity.
The Fit-Friendly Worksites Program offers a unique, easy-to-implement opportunity for corporations to increase employees physical activity, which will help improve their health and their employers bottom line, said Tracy Brazelton, AHA executive director in St. Louis. Even people who havent exercised regularly until middle age can reap significant benefits by starting a walking program. A study published in 1986 in the New England Journal of Medicine found that some adults may gain two hours of life expectancy for every hour of regular, vigorous exercise they performed.

Tony Gonzalez: 'Probably no chance' of coming out of retirement
Former NFL tight end and current CBS Sports analyst Tony Gonzalez says there is "probably no chance" he will come back to play in the NFL.
Gonzalez, a 14-time Pro Bowl selection, retired at the end of last season after 17 years in the NFL. He holds league records for receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns by a tight end.
"There is probably no chance of me coming back to play," Gonzalez said, according to CBS Sports.com. "I don't want to play anymore, to tell you the truth. I've had my fill."
Gonzalez, 38, said that multiple teams contacted him about the possibility of coming out of retirement.
The 10 best defensive teams in the NFL
Gonzalez was productive in his final season with the Atlanta Falcons, catching 83 passes for 859 yards and eight touchdowns.
"If it didn't happen up to this point," Gonzalez said, "it's not going to happen now."

The Chain of Rocks Bridgewritten by blue-dog on 2011-02-22 #places
I recently got to visit the amazing Chain of Rocks Bridge. The Gateway Arch in St Louis is visible downstream. The bridge was built at one of the most scenic parts of the Mississippi River. The Chain of Rocks Bridge, is named as such because of a rocky area in the Mississippi during low water that looks like there is a small waterfall.2 10 Share Tweet

David Lamas of Dorsey was honored as the Division II player of the year, with Fernando Rivas of Port of L.A. selected as the top player in Division III. Dorsey defeated Van Nuys 9-6 in Saturday's Division II final and Port of L.A. outlasted Fulton Prep 3-2 in nine innings Monday in the Division III championship.
Flaherty reaches agreement with Cardinals
Harvard-Westlake graduate Jack Flaherty has reached an agreement to sign a minor league contract with the St. Louis Cardinals, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Flaherty, selected 34th in the first round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft, is expected to receive a $2 million signing bonus when he signs Tuesday in St. Louis.
Flaherty joins former Wolverines teammates Lucas Giolito and Max Fried as a first-round draft choice. Giolito was selected by the Washington Nationals and Fried was chosen by the San Diego Padres.
Flaherty, who had verbally committed to play at North Carolina, has also been recognized as a finalist for Cal-Hi Sports' state player of the year after receiving the honor last season.
He was 10-0 with 125 strikeouts in 78 innings this season, in addition to driving in 18 runs.
Flaherty, who finished 35-3 in his career, was 23-0 the past two seasons and has already earned the Gatorade state player of the year award.

Sierra Canyon's Riley, Ramsey get top ratings
ESPN's Recruiting Nation has pegged Sierra Canyon's Cody Riley and Devearl Ramsey as two of the country's best basketball players in their class.
Riley, a 6-foot-6, 215-pounder, is ranked No. 7 in the 2017 graduating class and Ramsey — a 5-10, 170-pound guard — is ranked No. 33 in the class of 2016.
The Trailblazers, who lost in the opening round of the inaugural Southern Section Open Division playoffs before winning the consolation championship and then losing to Cantwell-Sacred Heart in the Division IV state tournament, will likely be the area's top-ranked team in November.
Former Sierra Canyon standout Derryck Thornton, who attends Findlay Prep in Nevada, was ranked one spot ahead of Ramsey.

He says most local workers are manning mobile feeding units to help victims of the storm. Iman says Sandy could be the most devastating storm to ever hit the east coast.

Five nuggets of knowledge about Week 3:
Keeping a balance: The Texans won their first game largely thanks to the run and their second mostly because of the pass. If they can do both with some semblance of balance, it would benefit them greatly against a desperate Dallas team. Balance usually means an offense can be patient, and the more Houston can be patient, the more likely the Cowboys are likely to press.
Sound tackling: I'm not so sure Michael Vick has been as incredible as the Eagles are saying. Certainly he's dangerous and how he does against the Jaguars will garner giant attention Sunday. Jacksonville's secondary has holes, but they shrink if the pass rush is good. The question to me is sure tackling. Jack Del Rio pledged this would be a better tackling team than last year. One of the major culprits, Reggie Nelson, is gone. If the Jaguars can limit yards after the catch and big runs after contact, they could surprise some people in the team's second non-blackout of the season.
Two tights or three wide: The Colts ran it far better last week with Brody Eldridge playing quite a bit as a second tight end doing a lot of blocking work. Denver has only two sacks and is allowing 4.5 yards a carry. Do the Colts feel like their line can hold up without much help, allowing them to attack with three wide receivers? Or do they use Eldridge a lot to ensure their best chances running it? Test the Broncos and see, I say. If the Broncos can't be disruptive or stop the run against three wides, the Colts can use either grouping virtually whenever they like and reduce any predictability.
Bounce back ability: Adversity hits all NFL quarterbacks to some degree every year. How they bounce back is usually the big indicator about how effective they can be. Vince Young got benched last week and Wednesday said he still didn't know why. I guess he doesn't have to know why, he just has to know how not to get benched again. He's got to prove he's the long-term guy, and a good showing against the Giants could do much to help the cause.
The Texans have to be wary of over-pursuit: Aaron Schatz of Football Outsiders says the Cowboys ran more draws than any other offense in 2009. Houston was the league's worst defense against draws last year, allowing an average of 7.6 yards per carry. We talked about the Texans' ability to be patient on offense. They've got to do the same on defense to avoid getting burned by run plays that need a bit of time to develop.

Breaking News: LES MISERABLES Revival Finds Its Marius and Cosette - Andy Mientus and Charlotte Maltby to Make Broadway Debuts!
Cameron Mackintosh announced today that Andy Mientus, who captured the hearts of TV viewers with his portrayal of Kyle Bishop on the NBC series "Smash" and talented newcomer Charlotte Maltby will play Marius and Cosette in his acclaimed new production of Alain Boublil & Claude-Michel Schönberg's Tony Award-winning musical masterpiece LES MISERABLES, which returns to Broadway beginning Saturday, March 1 at the Imperial Theatre (249 West 45th Street). Mientus and Maltby join recently announced cast members Ramin Karimloo (Jean Valjean); Will Swenson (Javert); Caissie Levy (Fantine) and Nikki M. James (Eponine) The official opening night for LES MISERABLES is Sunday, March 23. Additional casting, including the roles of Enjolras and the Thenardiers, will be announced in the coming weeks.
Andy Mientus (Marius) will be making his Broadway debut in LES MISERABLES. A Pittsburgh native, he toured the country in the first national tour of Spring Awakening and appeared in MCC Theater's production of Carrie. On television, he was a series regular on the NBC musical drama "Smash," and this season has recurring roles on both the FX comedy "Anger Management" and the ABC Family drama "Chasing Life."
Charlotte Maltby (Cosette) will also be making her Broadway debut in LES MISERABLES. She recently starred as Fantine in the St. Louis Muny's recent production of LES MISERABLES. She just completed a reading of Michael John LaChiusa's new musical First Daughter Suite. Upcoming film credits include The Last Five Years and AWOL. Charlotte is currently studying musical theater at the University of Michigan.
This newly re-imagined LES MISERABLES , which grossed over $160 million in its recent two and a half year American tour, is currently breaking box office records, receiving rave reviews and capacity crowds with the Canadian production at the Princess of Wales in Toronto starring Ramin Karimloo, who will play Jean Valjean on Broadway. International productions of the new LES MISERABLES have been met with equal success and acclaim in the U.K., France, Spain, Japan and Korea and will open soon in Australia. This new version of LES MISERABLES, which premiered in the U.K. in 2009, inspired filmmakers to make last year's immensely successful Oscar/Golden Globe/BAFTA winning-movie.
Based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, LES MISERABLES is an epic and uplifting story about the survival of the human spirit. The magnificent score includes the classic songs "I Dreamed a Dream," "On My Own," "Stars," "Bring Him Home," "Do You Hear the People Sing?," "One Day More," "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," "Master Of The House" and many more.
Cameron Mackintosh's production of LES MISERABLES is written by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg and is based on the novel by Victor Hugo. It has music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer and original French text by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, original adaption by Trevor Nunn and John Caird and additional material by James Fenton. The original LES MISERABLES orchestrations are by John Cameron with new orchestrations by Christopher Jahnke and additional orchestrations by Stephen Metcalfe and Stephen Brooker.
The new production is directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, designed by Matt Kinley inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo with costumes by Andreane Neofitou and Christine Rowland, lighting by Paule Constable, sound by Mick Potter and projections by Fifty-Nine Productions.
The original New York production of LES MISERABLES premiered first at the Broadway Theatre on March 12, 1987, later moving to the Imperial on October 17, 1990, where it played until May 18, 2003, for a total Broadway run of 6680 performances.
There have been four U.S. national touring companies of LES MISERABLES that have played more than 200 cities. Broadway audiences welcomed LES MISERABLES back to New York on November 9, 2006 where the show played the Broadhurst Theatre until its final performance on January 6, 2008. LES MISERABLES is the 4th longest-running Broadway production of all time.
The 2012 Universal film version of LES MISERABLES co-produced by Cameron Mackintosh and Working Title Films, and directed by Tom Hooper, is one of the most successful musical films ever. The film received the Golden Globe Award as Best Picture (Musical/Comedy) and received eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and won three Academy Awards. The film's soundtrack debuted at #1 on Billboard's Album chart and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

Hello multiple mamas!
I have a friend due in October with her first babies- twins-and I am making her wool diaper covers for the first two sizes.
My question are...
Has anyone here cloth diapered twins and can you help me figure out how many wool covers to knit for the set of em?
Is it safe to assume that I should make teensy butt sizes to start with? All my babies were 8-9 lbs so I dont have a good measurement in mind to go by. She is a pretty small gal height wise.
And any random pieces of advice for me as I start knitting... I've only had singletons so my perspective is wildly different than yours.
Thanks so much for any input!
7-8 covers per size should be adequate. I would say start with newborn size, if you have measurements for that. A lot of twins come home in the 5-6 lb range although they can be larger, too.
my twins were 7.5 lbs at birth. I think we had 6 covers in each size. Will she have other covers, too, or only the wool ones?
I'm not certain what others will give her, right now she has nothing lined up that I'm aware of. I've got three newborn already made but they didn't fit my 8.5lb newborn by a long shot- unless using a fitted diaper to trim things up. That's what got me thinking about sizes.
I guess if they don't fit her littles I can donate them to my midwife's practice, I just don't know if I'll be able to finish 12 diaper covers by October for the just-in -case scenario...
I'm knitting for another baby that month too!
As an afterthought to my original post-
Has anyone found a wrap style pattern they like? It seems like for time's sake with two babies it might be easier for her than pinning and pulling.

Just over a week ago, Jen competed in the Western Canadian Hatha Yoga Asana Championships in Vancouver. This is the super-powered kale salad recipe she ate the night before that led to her placing third! She wanted (and needed) something raw and alkalizing that would give her energy, while also being comforting and delicious:
"Normally one would not think of kale as comfort food, but this salad is a different type of awesome. It's not really the kale that makes it so delicious (sorry kale), it's the dressing, and the way the kale is 'massaged', which makes it soft and salty, and doesn't leave you feeling like an hungry rabbit after eating it. So, with no further ado, I bring you the Super-Powered Sesame Kale Salad!"
Ingredients for Salad:
1 bunch of kale
drizzle of organic olive oil
sprinkling of about ½ tsp of high quality sea salt
1 tbsp sesame seeds (to garnish)
about 10 cherry tomatoes
Ingredients for Dressing:
2 tbsp raw tahini
2 tbsp almond butter
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp tamari
½ clove minced garlic
dash cayenne pepper
½ 'nub' fresh ginger
2 tbsp agave nector
Wash kale and rip into small pieces, add sea salt and olive oil. Massage the kale until it brightens and becomes soft, about two minutes. Blend all dressing ingredients until they are smooth and creamy. Top salad with dressing, tomatoes and sesame seeds, and enjoy immediately….it gets soggy if you wait!

|BYU Cougars (NCAA) (1964–present)
LaVell Edwards Stadium is an outdoor athletic stadium in Provo, Utah, on the campus of Brigham Young University (BYU). Primarily used for college football, it is the home field of the BYU Cougars. The playing field is natural grass and is at an elevation of 4,649 feet (1411 m) above sea level. The field runs in the conventional north–south direction, with the press box along the west sideline.
History and seating[edit]
The stadium opened on the north end of campus in 1964 as Cougar Stadium, replacing a smaller, 5,000-seat stadium of the same name. The seating capacity of the facility was just under 30,000 with stands on both sides of the playing field. Seating was soon added to make room for 35,000 fans. Temporary bleachers placed at the back of the end zones raised the capacity to 45,000. The stadium was expanded in 1982 to accommodate more than 65,000; permanent concrete stands in the end zones, separated by entryways from the east and west grandstands, were put in place of the temporary bleachers. The playing field was lowered eight feet (2.4 m), and the running track was removed to make room for six additional rows.[1] Following the retirement of head coach LaVell Edwards after the 2000 football season, the stadium was renamed in his honor.
To increase revenue, the stadium was renovated in 2003 to provide more luxury seating, which resulted in a slight reduction of seating capacity to 64,045. The luxury seating was a noticeable addition because the arrangement of blue and white seats in this section spells out BYU in block letters. On August 30, 2008, BYU unveiled a new video board on the north end zone, allowing fans seated in the south end zone to see the instant replays and graphics which previously were shown only on the south board. During summer 2010, the capacity of the stadium was further reduced due to some renovations that allowed for more wheelchair accessibility. As of 2016, a crowd of 63,470 (or more) is considered a sellout at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Track and field[edit]
Prior to the 1982 expansion, the stadium hosted events for BYU's outdoor track and field teams. In fact, the stadium hosted the NCAA Track and Field Championships in 1967 and 1975.[2] With the removal of the track from Cougar Stadium (as it was still known at that time), a new track facility was built just south of the stadium - it was later named the Clarence F. Robison Track to honor the team's legendary former coach.
Jurassic fossils under the stadium[edit]
Part of the largest collection of Jurassic period fossils in North America, housed at BYU, was stored underneath the east bleachers of the stadium until 2005. The fossils have since been prepared and are on display in the BYU Museum of Paleontology's collection room.[3][4][5]
Due to installation of new features in the stadium, the grounds crew and BYU Police have installed a number of security features to prevent students from entering the stadium after hours, including infrared security cameras and motion detectors. Anyone found entering the stadium after hours may be charged with trespassing and receive a fine up to $500.
Renovations and seating reconfiguration[edit]
The stadium underwent some upgrades prior to the 2012 season: new HD LED videoboards face the north and south end zones, replacing the outdated and smaller video screens, and they are flanked by video ribbons that stretch along the top of the north and south stands. The elevator shafts have been freshly coated to reflect the new BYU "blue" color scheme, each has the oval Y painted on it, and in 2013 the student section was unified into one area to seat the BYU student section instead of being scattered throughout the stadium.

As remote workers become more commonplace, their connections represent an increasingly vexing risk factor. For respondents to our InformationWeek Analytics 2010 Strategic Security Survey who said their companies are more vulnerable now than in 2009, 66% cited as the reason more ways to attack corporate networks, including wireless. Yet IT must ensure mobile workers have the access they need to be productive.
Here's one angle CIOs often overlook: Providing this level of 24/7 support translates to a lot of people with high access privileges working remotely--not just business users, but IT support staff as well.
Most of us have no choice but to open systems to the outside world. The challenge is to do so in a measured fashion, and in a way that allows you to track and audit access while protecting data. Here's our hit list of the top nine dangers that come with unfettered remote access, along with mitigation tips for each.
1| Danger: Running afoul of regulations Mitigation: Document the corporate data and intellectual property that you must protect
This exercise is basic--and vital. You can't even begin to audit and protect your organization's data until you know where all the important stuff resides. The results of a data discovery process can be leveraged across many different projects, including compliance, risk assessment, and data loss prevention (DLP) initiatives.
2| Danger: You can't easily correlate account activity and usage Mitigation: Rein in your account and password policy
Want an eye opener? Ask for a report on the number of general accounts in your directory services infrastructure. We're talking about those accounts called "Support" or "Payroll"--you know, the ones all 5,000 company employees seem to know the passwords to. If you're using general-purpose accounts for any authentication activities without carefully controlling access rights, you're playing Russian roulette. To the degree you can, eliminate them.
And while you're cracking down on anonymous accounts, give some thought to your password policy. Implementing strong passwords is arguably the easiest mitigation task on our list to execute. Sure, it might also be the one that generates the most hate mail to IT, but there's no getting around the fact that you can't let users select "password."

Robin Williams
Robin Williams was an Oscar- and Golden Globe-winning actor and comedian who starred in such classic hits as Good Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtfire and Good Will Hunting.
AppealThere was never a dull moment with the late Robin Williams around. The funny family man could turn an ordinary dining experience into a full-fledged cabaret complete with sound effects and hand puppets.
SuccessWhat didn't he do? His career spanned over 40 years, and in that time, Robin Williams appeared in over 75 films, including hits like Good Morning, Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Aladdin (and that's just the tip of the iceberg). He was also known for his work in television and as a stand-up comic. Williams' vibrant personality and insane humor touched pretty much every person on this planet.
Williams solidified his position as one of the funniest men of all-time and an icon in American film history. For his efforts, he was rewarded with countless awards, including a Golden Globe in 1993 for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for Mrs. Doubtfire and Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1997 for Good Will Hunting, as well as worldwide praise from fans, critics and peers. It's no surprise that Entertainment Weekly once called him the "Funniest Man Alive."
Robin Williams BiographyRobin Williams was born July 21, 1952 in Chicago, Illinois. Growing up as the only child of parents Robert and Laurie resulted in Robin having to entertain himself, and even build a world all to himself, which subsequently launched his desire to perform.
rockin' robin
He would often study Jonathan Winters comedy records and play with toy soldiers as a child, and would later use comedy to his advantage at school. As his father's position within the Ford Motor Company grew, the Williams family moved frequently, and Robin was always the "new kid in school." In addition, young Robin was also pudgy, causing him to often be teased, and he used comedy as a defense mechanism.
But by the time the family settled down (permanently) in Marin County, California during his senior year, Robin was popular and voted Most Humorous and Most Likely to Succeed. No one realized at the time just how prophetic that title would be.
rising to the top
Following high school, Williams studied political science at Claremont Men's College and became involved in soccer and improvisational comedy. He also began studying acting, first in California, and then at Juilliard in New York. When he wasn't studying, he was working as a mime to pay his tuition.
Upon finishing his studies in New York, Williams moved back to California and hopped onto the comedy circuit. A favorite with audiences, Williams quickly landed his big break: A regular spot on George Schlatter's late '70s reincarnation of Laugh-In.
But Williams' career really took off after being cast as a wacky alien in a fanciful episode of the hit show, Happy Days. Williams' portrayal of "Mork from Ork" was such a hit with fans, it prompted producer Gary Marshall to give Robin and his alien alter ego their own show.
the robin williams explosion
Mork and Mindy debuted in 1978, ran for four seasons, earned Williams a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series (Comedy or Musical), and established him as one of Hollywood's top comedic talents, as he portrayed and ultimately created one of television's most beloved characters.
Williams got his feature film debut in Robert Altman's commercially disappointing Popeye in 1980. Marking somewhat of an unlucky streak in his film career, Williams' next couple of pictures, including 1982's The World According to Garp and 1984's Moscow on the Hudson flopped at the box office.
But in 1987, Robin Williams vaulted into superstardom with the release of Good Morning, Vietnam. Williams portrayed real-life military disc jockey Adrian Cronauer, and director Barry Levinson allowed him to ad-lib many of his hilarious radio monologues. The film struck a chord with fans and critics alike, and earned Williams his first Oscar nomination, not to mention the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical.
Around this time, Williams -- along with good friends Whoopi Goldberg and Billy Crystal -- launched HBO's Comic Relief, an annually-televised comedy benefit for the homeless. But it also marked a turning point in Williams' personal life: In addition to overcoming a drug addiction that began during the Mork and Mindy years, he divorced and got remarried, this time to his son's nanny (who eventually became Robin's personal assistant).
enter the '90s
1990 saw a second Oscar nomination for Robin for his work on the previous year's Dead Poet's Society, in addition to Awakenings, where he played a scientist trying to help a catatonic Robert De Niro, followed by 1991's The Fisher King (which earned him the Best Actor Golden Globe and another Oscar nomination) and 1992's Toys.
Williams' upswing sustained itself for most of the '90s, most notably in 1992, when he lent his voice to the Genie in Disney's Aladdin, and went drag in Mrs. Doubtfire a year later. The latter remains Williams' biggest success to date, having grossed over $200 million in the U.S. alone, and earning Williams a Golden Globe Award, People's Choice Award and an MTV Movie Award.
But the crown jewel in Williams' career was yet to come: In 1997, after riding the successes of 1995's Jumanji, 1996's The Birdcage and 1997's Flubber, the release of Good Will Hunting, written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, not only showcased Robin's abilities as a serious actor, but garnered him his first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
life after oscar
Robin Williams' career since Good Will Hunting has been tumultuous: His next four projects, 1998's Patch Adams and What Dreams May Come, and 1999's Bicentennial Man and Jakob the Liar were all critically panned, while Patch Adams was the only real blockbuster of the bunch.
But Williams' portfolio has continued to expand in the millennium: In addition to 2002's Death to Smoochy and Insomnia, both of which were relatively dark roles for Williams, he recently staged a hugely successful live comedy special for HBO. He also turned in another chilling performance in the psychological thriller One Hour Photo.
The next few years saw many more movie and TV series credit for Robin Williams. He was nothing short of prolific when it came to his craft, but the bulk of the roles he'll be remembered for were concentrated in the 1990s.
Robin Williams died in an apparent suicide on August 11, 2014. He was 63 years old. He was found at his home in Tiburion, California, where he lived with his wife, Susan Schneider. It has been said that the Oscar-winning comedian had suffered from severe depression toward the end of his life. He is survived by Schneider and his three children. With a career that spanned more than four decades, Robin Williams was one of Hollywood's most entertaining and talented personalities, the likes of which we'll never see again.

By Ryan Kaczmarski
After a sluggish first half by both teams, North Olmsted attacked the basket and hit some timely three-pointers to go into Bay and beat the Rockets, 52-47, in the season opener on Friday night.
The game started off very sloppy, with many turnovers and not much aggressive play on either side as there were only two foul shots taken in the entire first half.
"It's really early in the year, and the defense is ahead of the offense," said North Olmsted head coach Matt DeMain. "I thought we defended really well, especially in the first half."
The focus of the North Olmsted offense is senior post player Darvin Freeman, and the Rockets knew it. They had him covered all night, opening up opportunities for senior point guard Marc Remy to drive the lane and senior shooting guard Patrick Needles, who sunk five shots from beyond the arc on his way to a game-leading 19 points, to hit from the perimeter.
"Obviously our offense starts with Darvin, and everybody knows it," DeMain said. "They were running two and three guys at him every time he caught it, but if Pat and Marc knock down shots, it's hard for a team to do that.
"Pat's probably not going to shoot like that every game, but the fact that he can will make teams have to adjust to that," he added.
The other top scorers for the Eagles were Remy with 12 points and Freeman with 11 points.
The only consistent offense for the Rockets came from senior guard Bryan Lowrie, who led Bay with 14 points.
"The second half was a game of runs," said Rockets head coach Jason Frolo. "North Olmsted came out of the gate in the third and scored nine, we came back and took the lead, and then they closed it out with a run.
"It's frustrating, because we were right there," he added. "It was just little things here and there, and we could have come away with a win."
The Rockets are a very young team and have only two players with any varsity experience coming into this season.
"I'm proud of the way we played as far as effort, composure and fighting back after getting down," Frolo said. "We have work to do, and every team that plays after tonight will find out what type of team they have.
"I'm encouraged, but the road doesn't get any easier for us," he added.

Thiele: Celebrate Women's Achievements During Women's History Month
March 1, 2011
Every March, our nation honors the diverse and momentous accomplishments of women during Women's History Month. The commemoration pays tribute to the myriad of inspirational women who have overcome adversity and through their courageous actions, revolutionized our country's laws and culture. The month serves as an opportunity to remember the profound impact women have had - and continue to have – on our nation's landscape. As the birthplace of the women's suffrage movement, New York State lies directly at the heart of women's struggle for equality. In July 1848, native New Yorker Elizabeth Cady Stanton helped organize the first women's rights convention in Seneca Falls. At the convention, Stanton added the demand for equal suffrage to the Declaration of Sentiments, which condemned male tyranny and declared that women should have access to all the rights of citizenship. In 1917, the New York State Constitution was amended to grant women suffrage. It wasn't until 1920, however, that the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote nationwide. Alongside Stanton, countless brave women dedicated their lives to achieving equality for women including Inez Milholland, Fay Hubbard and, most notably, transplanted New Yorker Susan B. Anthony. Together, Stanton and Anthony sparked a movement within our nation that advanced women's equality from education to divorce laws to the right to own property. Born to immigrant parents, Brooklyn native Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the U.S. Congress, serving from 1968 until her retirement in 1982. Throughout her career, Chisholm focused her attention on education and health care reforms and fought to improve opportunities for inner-city residents. On August 8, 2009, Sonia Sotomayor, a native of the Bronx, was sworn in as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Sotomayor became the third woman and the first Hispanic to serve on the highest court in the nation. In March 2009, another native New Yorker, Elena Kagan, became the first female to serve as U.S. Solicitor General. Then in August 2010, Kagan joined Sotomayor as the fourth female to assume office as a justice of the Supreme Court. Today's women leaders were able to use the stepping stones built by courageous women of the past and pursue their dreams. It's these women – along with so many others – that I encourage everyone to remember during Women's History Month. Their sacrifice and determination to challenge the status quo and break through social norms have made it possible for so many women today to make their dreams a reality.

Promedica to move 700 workers to downtown Toledo
Wed, 05 Feb 2014 11:15:00 GMT —
On Tuesday, ProMedica announced plans to relocate the company's headquarters and several other business offices to downtown Toledo.
The health system's new home will be the former Toledo Edison Steam Plant and the KeyBank office building on Summit Street.
The move will bring approximately 700 administrative employees together into one central location. ProMedica has more than 15,000 employees in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan.
â??While there has been some positive economic development downtown, this will bring hundreds of people downtown and will help spur additional economic development growth," Toledo Mayor D. Michael Collins said of the announcement.
The City of Toledo's Public Information, Lisa Ward, also tells WNWO that Mayor Collins has been supportive of and updated on the company's plans for some time.
Ward adds that part of the move may involve the construction of an underground parking facility that could be built beneath Promenade Park.
Promedica says it "is currently reviewing multiple options with Toledo city officials regarding parking."
The proposal to build a parking garage under Promenade Park is something that the administration of former Toledo Mayor Mike Bell did not support, according to Ward.
ProMedica officials say they have already signed a letter of intent with KeyBank to purchase its regional office building next to the steam plant on Summit Street. The intent is for KeyBank to retain one floor for its employees and ProMedica to occupy the other floors.
ProMedica plans to renovate the steam plant to create several levels that will establish an open, contemporary environment.
ProMedica officials say they will preserve architectural elements of the historic steam plant. There are also discussions between ProMedica and another community partner about the possibility of bringing a fitness center to the downtown campus.
The estimated cost of the project is expected to range from $20 million to $40 million. Funding will come from multiple sources, including the sale of existing ProMedica-owned properties acquired over the past decade to accommodate its growing business operations and workforce, and by applying for potential historical tax credits.
According to President and Chief Executive Officer Randy Oostra, the decision to move downtown will be a positive one for ProMedica and signifies the organization's strong and ongoing commitment to Toledo.
"We feel strongly about making a commitment to downtown Toledo and playing a key role in its revitalization, said Oostra.â??ProMedica is deeply invested in this community and we look forward to all of the exciting possibilities for our city that could come out of this new partnership with the city, KeyBank and other area businesses."
ProMedica officials say the steam plant was chosen because of its rich history and proximity to the riverfront.

Product 3/6
This is a POM nozzle with double O-rings for G36 series rifles made by Core. The O-ring stops air from leaking between the cylinder head and nozzle, stock nozzles lack this O-ring and sometimes fit so poorly a lot of air can leak. This O-ring seal can increase FPS quite a lot depending on how much air is leaking. Since this doesn't put any more stress on the motor this won't affect your rate of fire like a stiffer spring or spring spacer. The double O-rings in this design not only provides a perfect seal but also trap a pocket of grease which keeps the O-rings lubricated at all times.
All boneyard items are no returns and no warranty of any kind!
These are being sold as boneyard because on many cylinder heads they are too tight to move smoothly. These would be a good choice if you have a cylinder head with an abnormally small nozzle tube or if you need an odd length you can sand the O-rings down just a hair to get the perfect fit.
- Material: POM (Delrin, Acetal, etc)
- O-ring increases FPS with no loss of ROF
- Total length 24.13mm (.950 in)
- Inner diameter 5.52mm (.217 in)
- Outer diameter 7.37mm (.290 in) (front section)

Metal News for November 5, 2012
Last updated on September 25, 2017 at 3:58 PM ET
We post metal news every day, throughout the day, covering thousands of metal bands including underground and unsigned bands. You are currently browsing the news archive, but you can also find news by band.

Philip Anselmo Announces Split Release w/ Warbeast
Pantera, Superjoint Ritual, and Down vocalist Philip Anselmo and Housecore Records thrashers Warbeast recently announced that they will be releasing a new split album entitled "War of the Gargantuas." The split now has an official release date of January 8th, 2013 and will include two songs from each artist.
This album serves as the first release of any solo work by Philip Anselmo during the span of his nearly 30-year legacy. Also, the two Warbeast tracks on the split feature former bassist Alan Bovee before his departure from the band. Since then, Dre Karst has joined on bass.
"This split is a glimpse into the future of both my solo project and ultimate thrash metallers Warbeast. The title of the split is War of The Gargantuas and it is fitting on many levels because of our combined love for the 60's Japanese film of the same name, the power of our combined musical output(s) and our humorous affection that plays out within each of our 'Gargantuan' personalities," states Philip Anselmo. "Both Warbeast and myself have full length LP's that will be released shortly after this is released, but this split is unique musically. It is a time capsule; a loud pause 'til we both release our full length products. Enjoy the destruction of music!"
"These two songs we have on War of the Gargantuas were the next level after Krush The Enemy," states Warbeast guitarist Scott Shelby. "They've been a staple in our set list for the last two years. These songs are a pure demonstration of our unique Texas thrash metal style."
Warbeast also recently announced the upcoming release of a second full-length album, "Destroy." The album is scheduled to be released in early 2013 via Housecore Records and is currently in the mastering stages. Stay tuned for more information on "Destroy" coming very soon. More...
The Secret Streaming "Agnus Dei" Album
The Secret is currently streaming the band's entire fourth album "Agnus Dei" online through Cvlt Nation here. The following press release was also issued about the album:
"The incredibly caustic and unfathomably decimating Agnus Dei is the most lethal weapon in this unique Italian attack squad's broadening arsenal, coalescing the most destructive elements of crust, black metal and hardcore with the force of tectonic plates, constructed of monolithic riffs which take the listener through a hallucinated trip towards a hazy tomorrow, recorded by Kurt Ballou (High on Fire, Converge, Black Breath) at Godcity Studios, as was their previous album, Solve Et Coagula. This month The Secret will tour Europe with Converge, Touché Amoré and A Storm of Light, with much more tour action to be announced into the New Year." More...

Mauricio Bustamente Announces New Project Exxiles
After Mauricio Bustamente left Reign of the Architect back in August, he started working on his new production and multinational band Exxiles. Mauricio comments:
"This production will reflect how sometimes we are exile in life by simple or great things when we are betrayed by something we believed in. At the end there is only one result, abandonment.
"With pain… With anger… With passion, you discover that you learn how to rise, to liberate and fight for the things you believe in once again, at that moment the exile transforms into something that makes you stronger while you leave it behind, to keep walking towards some other kind of exile. That is the reason of Exxile.
"The first album of the band will be a conceptual album and it will talk about loyalty. Loyalty should be a symbol of friendship, politics, religion, love… It will have a lot of stories but at the end they will all have the same direction to become one. It will show how loyalty becomes weak when personal interests are involved in it. More...

This meant, among other things, that they got to play the Prog Power Europe festival in the Netherlands along with several renowned metal / prog band. As a guitarist in Lucid, Kenneth also got to show his talent, which he obtained with Allstars Metal bands on Inferno Kick Off a few years back.
"Kenneth has been a real boost for the Forbidden Forest, they are working hard these days to create songs for their second album. Kenneth is a musician, who really has the loose style of the Forbidden Forest in the blood. He captured the essence from the first rehearsal, and the Forbidden Forest can guarantee that it will be an incredibly strong second album.
"Album release is planned for 2013, but in anticipation of this, the Forbidden Forest will record a demo in the near future with some of the new material and make it available on the internet this year already!

Unearthing The Metal Underground at ProgPower USA
Each week, carrying on faithfully in the tradition of bringing the bands that are currently simmering in the underground up to a rolling boil, we feature several quality underground bands in their respective genres. With the 'power' side of the ProgPower USA XIII festival already unearthed in October, the 'prog' side remains unspoken for.
The ProgPower USA festival has taken turns at skewing the balance toward one genre, but has been notorious for bringing in bands who straddle the line between both in the eyes of those with a more liberal view of things. The lines of demarcation are not very clear and the next year's roster often ends up surprising many. Fortunately, many prog bands are able to weave their way into the system and capture some attention. One such band hopped the ocean to pre-empt their 2nd album release, unveiling that they would be selling the CD months in advance at the show.
Few bands brought the prog with such unabashed love as Haken in the festival's history. As the openers of Day Two of 2011, a spot happily filled this year by fellow prog-heads Beyond The Bridge, the boys of Haken unleashed a set list that included one song from their upcoming album, "Visions" (reviewed here,) but focused mostly on the first album, "Aquarius." Multiple melodic themes are developed throughout the albums, with expert re-interpretations for emotional impact linking up with the storylines. Both albums are concept albums, and both involve songs that go beyond the 20-minute mark, showing their prog side.
Haken is a five-piece, with keyboardist and Haken main brain Richard Henshall performing both keyboard and guitar duties. Henshall and Diego Tejeida both focus on crafting synthesizer sounds not heard elsewhere, which often makes for multi-faceted lead tones. Haken bassist Tom Maclean heads a prog metal sideproject by the name of To-Mera with Henshall assisting, as well.
Between The Buried And Me Announces Tour Dates
Between The Buried And Me will embark on the band's first North American tour since the release of "The Parallax II: Future Sequence" this February, joining Coheed and Cambria for a six-week tour that kicks off February 4 in Washington, D.C. Dates are as follows:

Black Sabbath Announces Australian Shows

Love.Might.Kill Gearing Up For Album Release
Massacre Records is proud to release the sophomore album from German/Italian melodic metal outfit Love.Might.Kill in North America later this month. The following press release was issued about the ablum:
"Featuring drummer Michael Ehré (Firewind, Uli Jon Roth, Metalium) and the brilliant singer Jan Manenti, LOVE.MIGHT.KILL appeared virtually out of nowhere in 2011 with their Brace For Impact debut, an album which perfectly combined the enthusiasm of a first appearance with the experience of a long songwriting career, instantly winning over a solid fanbase within the European hard rock/power metal scene.
"One year later, LOVE.MIGHT.KILL are about to release their second opus, 2 Big 2 Fail, to North American audiences, following its very recent release in Europe. Boasting nearly an hour of incredibly hard-hitting, melodic power metal with a dozen anthems, 2 Big 2 Fail was produced by Michael Ehré, as with their first album. Being around for years as the drummer in bands like Gamma Ray, Firewind, Metalium or with artists like Uli Jon Roth, Matt 'Gonzo' Roehr, Vinnie Moore and Kee Marcello, Ehré has made a strong impact in the national and international scene. The songs were then mixed and mastered by Markus Teske (Spock´s Beard, Saga, Vanden Plas) at his own Bazement-Studio."

Cult Of Luna To Release New Album
"Vertikal," the new studio album from Sweden's Cult of Luna, will be released via Indie Recordings in Europe on January 25th, 2013 and Density Records in the U.S. on January 29th, 2013. The following press release was issued about the album:
"Vertikal marks a much-anticipated return for Cult of Luna after five years spent cultivating the ideas and directing the influences that have helped form a concept for the album. Distilled throughout are themes of machinery, repetition and clear, linear structures honed to the visual imagery of Fritz Lang's classic expressionist science-fiction film 'Metropolis.' The music broods, builds and boils as you may expect from Cult of Luna, but never over-complicates itself or veers from its intentions; it is arguably their finest and most cohesive piece of work to date.
"Cult of Luna will be returning to the live arena for a full European tour, with a new set of dates just announced in April & May in addition to the previously announced period around the album's release in January & February. There are US dates being planned and the band intend to tour further in late 2013." More...
