EDINA, Minn. — Two weeks away from her 20th birthday, Inbee Park became the youngest winner of the U.S. Women's Open on Sunday by closing with a 2-under 71 as everyone around her faded away at Interlachen.
Park didn't make a bogey over the final 10 holes, pulling away with three clutch putts early on the back nine and building a four-shot lead going to the final hole. She finished with a tap-in birdie, and a few of her fellow South Koreans doused her with beer.
The victory came 10 years after Park took up the game, inspired by watching Se Ri Pak win the Women's Open at Blackwolf Run to become the youngest champion at age 20.
"It's really an honor and very special for me that I won the event 10 years after I start playing," Park said. "Everything happened so fast. It's scary. I really tried to stay calm, but it was so exciting, I couldn't do it. This is my day."
Park finished at 9-under 283 and earned $585,000 from the richest purse in women's golf. Her four-shot victory over Helen Alfredsson of Sweden was the largest in the Women's Open since Karrie Webb won by eight shots at Pine Needles in 2001.
No one imagined the only drama on the back nine would come from Annika Sorenstam, who was never in contention competing in her final Women's Open before retirement at the end of the season.
Her final shot was a 6-iron from 199 yards that tumbled into the cup for eagle.
"Leaving with another great memory, that's for sure," Sorenstam said after closing with a 78 to finish 12 shots behind in a tie for 24th. "Maybe not the one I had in mind, but I'll take it."
Such highlights were rare for everyone else.
Stacy Lewis, trying to become the first player to win a major in her professional debut, took double bogey from 80 yards away on the par-5 second hole and struggled all afternoon with her lag putting. She staggered home to a 79 and tied for third at 4-under 288 with Angela Park (73) and In-Kyung Kim (75).
An even greater collapse came from Paula Creamer, 21, who said her experience from six LPGA Tour victories would be a big advantage. She then shot 41 on the front nine, including two double bogeys, and wound up with a 78 to tie for sixth.
Creamer's final round scoring average in the U.S. Women's Open is 75.2
Park was the only player to break par all four days at Interlachen, a course that showed its strength in the final round with 20 mph wind that made it tough to keep on the right side of the hole.
The lowest score Sunday belonged to 15-year-old Jessica Korda, the daughter of '98 Australian Open tennis champion Peter Korda, who caddied for her. She shot a 69 and tied for 19th.
Park became the third player in the last six years to make the U.S. Women's Open her first LPGA Tour victory, and it was reminiscent of Birdie Kim's victory three years ago Cherry Hills, minus the dramatic bunker shot for birdie on the 72nd hole.
There were so many possibility for great story lines going into the final round — Lewis and her remarkable recovery from back surgery that almost ended her career before she got to college; Creamer, looking poised to finally get a major to go with her marketing campaign; Alfredsson, who blew a six-shot lead at the Women's Open in 1994, now with a chance for redemption at 43.
Instead, it was Park who stole the show by simply playing the best golf.
Park the youngest to capture U.S. Women's Open

3 Situations You Need a Litigation Attorney For
In the courtroom, you are going to need plenty of professional help in order to represent yourself and your side of a case. This is not something you can properly do by yourself or with just any type of lawyer. In order to have a good chance of being out on the good side of a case, you are going to need litigation attorneys. Litigation attorneys can guarantee that you are properly represented and in better light during any case. These types of attorneys can handle probate and estate administration, fraud representation, and contract agreements.
1. Estate
When there is a death in the family, a will needs to be handled properly. It is not uncommon for estate property to be confused and fought over within any family business. Litigation attorneys are likely very experienced in handling probate and estate, and can make sure that property is divided to the wishes of a passed person. Probate Continue Reading

If you need an intense local sheriff to help Gibbs & Co. work a case, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better fit for the meaty role than Lance Henriksen. Awesomely, that's precisely who NCIS has nabbed to guest-star on the hit series later this season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
Specifically, the star of TV's Millennium and the guy also known to sci-fi enthusiasts as Alien's Bishop will play Sheriff Clay Boyd in the episode "South by Southwest," which is earmarked for a February sweeps showcase. In the outing, Gibbs is led to the Arizona desert when an NCIS agent turns up (gulp) dead.
How do you like that tasty morsel of news, NCIS fans? Hey, maybe the spin-off can star Lance, and drop any NCIS angle all together?

Grey Mist Mere is Association-owned and access to this water is for Members Only
This water is a 7 acre lake nestled on the edge of urban Warrington, and has a reputation as one of the best long-standing specimen waters in the North West. Most anglers visit Grey Mist nowadays for the carp and tench fishing, although there are also roach and perch to be caught, plus pike and eels.
Grey Mist is popular with our members who target carp, with the lake record just over 30lbs. The original fish were stocked in the late 1970s, and have an average size around the high-doubles / low 20s. In the past couple of seasons, as the original stocks have died and thinned out, the club has boosted the stocks with carefully-selected fish from our trusted suppliers. There is an archive of the 110 new fish stocked since 2010 on the website gallery.
Grey Mist is also a prolific tench water, and some excellent specimens have been landed including fish over 11lbs. The average size of tench is approx 5lbs. There are also some very large eels present. There is a secure car park adjacent to the lake. NO floating baits allowed. NO Cans or bottles allowed.

Since I began writing more about climate change about two years ago, I've received several emails from people asking me what they personally can do about global warming.
The simple answer, I tell them, is to cut their emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. The hard bit is figuring out how to do so.
Last month, I published a piece about a man who got scientists to help him figure out exactly how much additional CO2 his lifestyle has added to the atmosphere. Then he asked the scientists to help him reduce his emissions, drastically.
While Dirk Gratzel's low-carb lifestyle is probably too extreme for most (he only showers for 45 seconds and hunts wild boar so his dog can eat meat), many of the insights drawn from his personal experiment can be applied to the public at large.
As one of the scientists involved in the study put it to me: "We can achieve a lot if … everybody gives up what isn't too important to them."
So if you absolutely have to have long showers, but don't mind cutting down meat, do that. If a protein-hungry former bodybuilder like Arnold Schwarzenegger can do it, so can you. Because meat, particularly beef, requires vastly more resources to produce than vegetables, and cows belch a lot of methane (another greenhouse gas) during their lifetime.
Sadly, for the same reasons dairy is a pretty big cause of greenhouse gas emissions. Cutting down cheese and milk will reduce your environmental footprint.
Maybe you, like many people in the developed world, enjoy airline travel or rely on it to see friends and family abroad. You feel forgoing flying just isn' an option, but still want to cut your carbon quota? Then consider offsetting your flights. Many airlines now let you do this while booking, or you can use a third-party service such as Atmosfair. The extra money you spend (usually less than 10 percent of the regular ticket price) goes toward projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions elsewhere by the same amount your flight produces.
Car travel is another obvious source of carbon emissions, unless you drive an electric vehicle and your utility company uses only renewable sources of energy. Even if you don't sell the car immediately, using public transport or cycling for at least some of your journeys will lower your emissions, save you money and probably improve your health.
Conscious consumption in general is a good way to shrink your carbon footprint. Do you really need that plastic gizmo? Will a second-hand one off eBay do, saving you money and CO2?
Think long-term! If you own your own home, then improving insulation is probably one of the most effective ways of reducing your emissions, because the energy savings will build up, year after year.
Finally, there's the impact that just talking about your carbon footprint will have on people around you and, by extension, the wider public debate. Politicians, who are often in a position to do far more than most individuals, are sensitive to what people say they're concerned about. A sustained public debate about what can and should be done about climate change will have a profound, long-term effect. Just as public debates about slavery, women's rights, gay rights, air pollution and nuclear safety have done in the past.
If you want to cut your carbon footprint but can't do a full Gratzel, don't feel bad. Most people can't. Remember than even a few changes in your life will have an effect, especially if you manage to convince others around you to do the same.

Pakistan and England's three-match Test series faces a fascinating conclusion after the tourists were set a record 284 to leave the United Arab Emirates with a credible draw. Shoaib Malik took the wickets of Moeen Ali (22) and Ian Bell (0) to puts the hosts in control, after a combination of Mohammad Hafeez's (151) ninth Test match century and lacklustre England fielding helped Pakistan set their opponents a daunting fourth innings total to claim victory.
Hafeez helped Pakistan extend their lead with a well-paced score, while contributions from Asad Shafiq (46), Misbah-ul-Haq (38) and Sarfraz Ahmed (36) frustrated a wasteful England – whose spin trio were again ineffectual – and left them requiring their highest ever total to win a match in Asia. Stuart Broad and James Anderson took five wickets between them as Adil Rashid, Ali and Samit Patel finish with combined figures of 3 for 248.
England began their chase with renewed impetuous having seen their advantage washed away, but they were soon left struggling to save the game, not to mention win it. Ali was trapped lbw by the Malik before the spinner struck again in his next over with a beauty to bowl Bell for a duck. The Pakistan all-rounder will likely play a pivotal role on the final day of his Test career alongside Yasir Shah and Zulfiqar Babar, who used up both of his side's reviews in the evening session.
Captain Alastair Cook (17 not out) and Joe Root (6 not out) hold the key to England completing an unlikely win after guiding the visitors to 46 for 2 at the close, still 238 runs adrift of victory, particularly with Ben Stokes's restrictive shoulder injury effectively leaving them a man short in the batting order. The manner of the closing stages, which saw 12 runs come from the last 11 overs, following the dismissals of Ali and Bell however means the innings may quickly become a rear-guard to restrict the damage rather than a chase to square the series.

Yes, it's a complete mess.Without the search option I would be completely lost.I'd be happy if Netflix would just spend a wee bit of their profits to fix their bloody menu. I hate that it's so random and disorganised. I even have trouble finding stuff on my own list. There were films/series that I forgot I added, on account of their stupid menu that's not even sorted alphabetically. Then the shows got removed. Sigh.
It also keeps some series in my list of 'continue watching' that I finished long ago (I never seem to get rid of 'Slasher'). And I always have to check if I'm at the right episode, because it sometimes jumps an episode ahead.
And I like to watch endtitles because it lets you relax for a moment before watching the next episode. But you have to be ready with the remote because you sometimes only have a few seconds to indicate you want to see endtitles.
Netflix offers an over-abundance of content, and it does so in a very chaotic way. Although I must say a lot of menus of interactive tv in general are relatively random, messy and user-unfriendly.

DescriptionWhen the Tuttles decide to take a family vacation to "The Alamo" they have no idea the kind of misadventures they will get into. When they ride aboard their flying mini-van they will have to avoid birds, helicopters, and even lighthouses. Of course their mini-van seems to have a crash happy attitude and frequently they will have to take on foot as each member of the family will have to work together to pass strange lands. Their adventures will take them across the desert, to jungles, up the sides of mountains and even underwater as they try and make their way to their destination.
The Tuttles Madcap Misadventures is at times a platform game and at times a side scrolling flying game. In certain parts of the game you will take control of the mini-van and fly across gradually changing settings while avoiding the aforementioned obstacles. When the game isn't in flying mode you will take control of one member of the Tuttle clan and explore lush settings trying to collect various objects to pass each level. There are forty levels in total and there are more unlocked when the game is finished. The platform levels are fairly typical of the genre, you jump around and avoid enemies.
You can attack the enemies by stomping on most of them or hitting them with your attack. Each member of the family has a different attack. The father Barry swings his empty gas canister while the mom Barbara swings her purse. The kids will have their own levels to explore as well and their attacks are a thrown cell phone for the daughter Jess and a well placed kick for the son Zach. The enemies will vary level by level depending on the situation and will range from simple lizards walking around to jumping spiders, to spear throwing natives, to breaching sharks. The underwater levels play much like the regular platform levels but with an extended jump due to the ability of swimming a small distance. In fact the underwater levels seem to borrow heavily in game play and visual design from another Divo Games release Kenny's Adventure. On top of the required items to collect to pass each level there are also bonus gems and objects to collect but only for points.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Legal Newsline) - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster reached a settlement on Tuesday with the owners of a former St. Charles-based seller of extended auto service contracts to resolve allegations of deceptive practices.
Dealer Warranty Services LLC, which also did business as Certus and Certus Assurance Group, and its owners, Theodore Conrad, the company's president, and Jeff Zykan, the company's vice president, allegedly engaged in deceptive practices, unfair practices and unlawful insurance practices.
The company allegedly used direct mail advertisements to urge customers to call for a limited-time extended warranty program. Once on the phone, salespeople allegedly sold the consumers vehicle breakdown coverage with misleading claims. The contracts were allegedly provided by a third party and did not contain the coverage promised.
Consumers who requested refunds allegedly dealt with objections and delays.
"Consumers who purchase vehicle repair coverage over the phone often later realize significant limits to coverage in the written contract," Koster said. "Before purchasing a service contract, we encourage Missouri consumers to carefully review its provisions to ensure that the contract contains everything promised."
Under the terms of the settlement, Conrad and Zykan must pay $60,000 to the state, $55,000 of which will serve as a restitution fund to provide refunds to Missourians who bought the additive coverage. The settlement includes the payment of $2,000 in civil penalties and forfeitures and $3,000 for consumer law enforcement. Conrad and Zykan are also permanently prohibited from selling unlawful vehicle service contracts in the state.
"Our office has prosecuted a number of businesses that disregarded our consumer laws," Koster said. "This settlement highlights our efforts to clean up the auto service contract industry in Missouri and protect consumers from future deceptive sales practices."

As an architecture student in college, the John Hancock Observatory was one of my most favorite places to view Chicago.
The view from there is THE BEST in the city, hands down.
Last weekend my kids and I were going to pick up some friends downtown and I decided that I wanted to spend the morning doing something special with my kids, so I reached out to the great people at the John Hancock Observatory and they offered to host our visit.
About the John Hancock Observatory
The John Hancock Observatory is located 1,000 feet above Chicago's Magnificent Mile above the John Hancock Center at 875 N. Michigan Avenue. Parking is available right in the building via a spiral access ramp. This ramp alone was a big hit with my kids and the observatory will validate parking for a stay of 3 hours or less for a rate of $10. I wish I had taken a picture of the ramp, but I was a bit busy maneuvering the narrow ramp in my van like a carnival ride.
The John Hancock Observatory also boasts a number of unique features you won't find anywhere else in Chicago.
Chicago's Best Views
Enjoy breathtaking 360° views stretching across 4 states, and Lake Michigan. Watch the spectacular sunset from 1,000 ft, or come up at night to see Chicago shining in lights. You'll see why John Hancock Observatory has been voted Chicago's best view.
It was a bit overcast but still a great day to visit 1,000 feet up! We could see pretty far and my kids loved being able to walk around the building and see in all 4 directions. Each view is different and unique. I was fascinated with how many rooftop gardens we spotted and my kids loved counting the rooftop pools.
Chicago's Best Location
Located in the heart of the city, we're just steps from the most fabulous shopping, theatre, restaurants and bars in Chicago. They don't call it The Magnificent Mile® for nothing, so take a look at what's going on (and off) near John Hancock Observatory.
Right outside of the John Hancock Center is the best Michigan avenue has to offer – shopping, restaurants and more. My daughter's favorite was the American Girl store of which she exclaimed "it's my dream come true." While we have told her she has to wait until she is 8 years old to get one of the dolls, she enjoyed looking around and we did buy a book about Caroline, her favorite American Girl doll. The John Hancock Center is also home to a Best Buy – the biggest one I have ever seen.
Chicago's Newest Technology
It's never been easier to explore Chicago with our ten panoramic interactive screens – in seven languages. Zoom in on famous locations, learn all kinds of cool stuff, and just enjoy having a play! Embark on our scavenger hunt with our mascot, Seemore Miles, through the eight kiosks throughout the observatory. In addition, take in Chicago's history and hotspots with our Multimedia Tour, available in seven languages, for a small additional fee.
When it comes to getting kids attention, technology is a sure-fire way to engage even the most bored child. My kids were not at all bored up at the Observatory but the addition of the interactive screens provided them with a unique way to interact with the city views they were seeing. They could zoom into the buildings and city areas and select specific spots and a window would pop-up providing detailed information about the building.
There were also trivia and informational kiosks as well and it seemed that each one provided a different experience. My son was eager to explore each one.
Chicago's Highest Cafe & Bar
Our award-winning Lavazza Espression café lets you take in the amazing floor-to-ceiling views while sipping on a delicious italian coffee (or cheeky cocktail) – and there's gelato for the kids! With a menu designed by a Michelin star chef, why not dine at 1,000 ft too?
We enjoyed drinks and snacks at the Lavazza cafe, and Abby insisted on getting a cookie in the shape of the building.
Chicago's only Open-Air Sky Walk
Find out why Chicago is called the Windy City as you step outside the building at 1,000 ft up. Ahhh, breathe in that fresh air.
The Sky Walk was pretty cool! We got to safely experience 1,000 feet up without being behind glass. It was actually kind of chilly up there!
And so much more!
The Observatory also has a gift shop and a photo area where you can capture the memory of your visit against the city landscape.
There is a "window washer" booth with opportunities to experience what a John Hancock window washer must feel like, and a great photo op.
My kids and I both had a great time 1,000 feet up, and we were invited back in September after they complete some remodeling. I am sure we will take them up on that invitation!
Have you ever been to the John Hancock Observatory?

I made this Baby Cradle for my sister's first child. I came up with the idea after seen a few on other forums and I had 2 weeks to make it happen before the baby shower. I used 4/4 cherry that I had on hand and purchased a bit of 8/4 for the feet. I finished off using Deft water based wood finish foregoing any Boiled Linseed oil due to the tight time constraints. It was a bit lighter than we wanted but it looked great and will darken with time.
This project had a lot of firsts for me, first time working with cherry, first "fine furniture" piece, and first Mortise and Tenons. It was a stressful couple weeks only working a couple hours a night and only getting 1 full weekend. My lovely wife was willing to help out and enjoyed drilling a few mortises, rough cutting on the band saw and lots of sanding. The final bit of hardware and wax was applied a couple hours before the shower and was well received.

David, I had a good look at this yesterday. I was impressed so much that I actually thought about this project in bed last night.
I'm in Canada for the balance of May, but making a cradle for my daughters baby due in August is priority one when I get back to Australia.
I have purchased some plans to give me direction, but prefer your rendition more than what I purchased.
Thanks, lovely work!

Despite the fact that one of the greatest parts of Toronto is the unexpected abundance of green space throughout its downtown (truly some of the most spectacular parks I've seen within a city), when September rolls around – it only feels right to escape to the countryside for just a quick minute. Although trendy trench coats, knit scarves and ankle booties have already indicated we're well on our way into autumn, there's nothing that embodies these months like the layers of coloured treetops on a drive outside the concrete jungle.
I was lucky to have spent a large portion of the last five days in a car. I never thought I would say that, but I suppose at this time of year it's hard to be overly opposed to the idea of back-to-back road trips when the great outdoors are at their best. Last weekend, the nuts ventured off for a little ladies retreat to Howe Island – a tiny escape in between my native Kingston and Gananoque – which involved three or so hours of car time in between Toronto and our destination. The leaves were semi-golden and not yet fully turned, but the air was a September kind of crisp, causing the water to curl in the breeze. Lovely.
As soon as I got back from Howe Island, I hopped back in the passenger seat to head to Collingwood for work – a part of Ontario that, much to many people's dismay I'm sure, wasn't conducive to flying or rail travel. This, again, I was surprisingly fine with. I'd never been to Collingwood, specifically Blue Mountain – the man-made mini-Tremblant-like resort village that's surrounded by leafy hills and Georgian Bay waters. And let me tell you, somehow, half a day of traveling later – the leaves had begun their transition, and it was scenic.
Needless to say, being back in the office seems kind of tragic. Which is why I was pleasantly surprised that during my assembling a typical little YouTube playlist to get me through the rest of the week, I stumbled upon a favourite (by no means new) cover of mine that I never realized had such a pretty fall-themed music video to accompany it.
Elton John's "Your Song" is indisputably one of my favourite songs, seeing as I spent my childhood belting out his likeable anthems alongside my Dad – squealing with laughter whenever he'd goofily mimic John's falsetto mid-"Bennie and the Jets." Not only does the "Your Song" timeless melody hit a chord, but the lyrics – those lyrics – go down in history as some of the most memorable. When British indie-pop artist Ellie Goulding covered it a few years ago, I wasn't sure if her pixie-like yodel would do it proper justice, but I immediately adopted it as one of the better covers of John's tunes. When I saw the cover's video, featuring an obviously adorable Goulding but, more importantly, picturesque shots of my favourite season, I grew even fonder of the old classic.
So, as we edge towards Thanksgiving – the prettiest weekend of the year – I thought I'd share this little clip to get you through your week. Happy Fall.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, and medical and family history. The abdominal and rectal areas will be carefully examined. Your doctor may recommend different tests in order to identify abnormal growths and confirm diagnosis.
If you are having bowel or other symptoms, your doctor may conduct certain tests to identify abnormalities. These may include:
Imaging and/or visual tests may be used to look for the presence of tumors. They can also help assess their size and location. Some tests use contrast material to highlight structures so images are more clear and detailed. Imaging tests may include:

A virtual colonoscopy is a type of CT scan that takes detailed images of the rectum and colon. It does not require the insertion of a tube into the colon. Some of the benefits of a virtual colonoscopy include:
However, if there is any suspicious-looking tissue, a colonoscopy will have to be done to remove it.
Diagnosis of colorectal cancer is confirmed with a biopsy. A biopsy is a tissue sample that is removed from the colon or rectum. After removal, the sample is examined under a microscope. This is the only way to confirm a diagnosis.
If colorectal cancer is confirmed, results from completed tests and new tests will help determine the stage of cancer. Staging is used to identify characteristics of the tumor that will help determine the prognosis and treatment plan. Factors that play a role in staging include how far the original tumor has spread, whether lymph nodes are involved, if cancer has spread to other tissue, and microscopic cellular details.
Tests that may help determine colorectal cancer stage:
The colon and rectal walls are made of up 4 layers, the innermost mucosa, the submucosa, a thicker muscle layer, and a thin serosa. The location and depth of the tumor is important in staging. Colorectal cancer is staged from 0-IV.

The creator of a new long-distance path between Stratford-upon-Avon and Bankside arrived at the Globe on Tuesday at the end of the inaugural walk.
Peter Titchmarsh and Dominic Dromgoole
Shakespeare's Way was devised by Peter Titchmarsh who set off on the new route after its launch at the Shakespeare Centre in Stratford-upon-Avon on 19 April. Peter arrived at the Globe on Tuesdaywhere he was greeted by the Globe's new artistic director Dominic Dromgoole. Dominic exchanged his book Will & Me: How Shakespeare Took Over My Life with a copy of Peter's guide to the pathway, Shakespeare's Way. In his book, Dominic Dromgoole describes the adventures of walking a similar route to Shakespeare's Way.
Totalling a distance of 146 miles, the fully waymarked Shakespeare's Way takes in some significant visitor destinations, including the Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock and Oxford.
It is intended that the new pathway will help raise funds for the Shakespeare Hospice – an independent charity with minimal government support which relies on the generosity and support of the community to carry out its work.
"No matter how short a route you choose you could sponsor yourself for a small sum per mile and encourage your friends, family and colleagues to also raise funds for the Shakespeare Hospice," explains Peter Titchmarsh.
• Peter Titchmarsh's book Shakespeare's Way is an 80-page, full colour guide to the pathway and is available from the Shakespeare's Way Association, St Mary's Barn, Pillerton Priors, Warwick CV35 0PG for �7.75 including postage.

I've literally been facilitating groups my entire career as an adoption therapist. Like family work, groups are more powerful than the sum of their parts. Adoptive parents appreciate the practical tips that are specific to their situation and feel more empowered and confident in the process. For those of you who are local, you can join the Monday from 10:30-12 noon group or the Friday from 1:30-3 pm group. Those who are outside of the vicinity are welcome to join our online group on Tuesday from 10-11:30 am. They begin the first week of May. Join us! And, at a one-time fee of $197, it's affordable. My hourly fee is $200 so it's a wonderful opportunity! Open to adoptive parents of children through young adulthood but will be geared to adoptive parents of teens. Some of you may want to get a head start on these issues and it's never too early! Others of you may have children who are now young adults, but as you probably know, many of the issues overlap.
If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, confused, or just want to learn as much as you possibly can about this critical period in your adopted teen's life, join us!

EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. – Haley Adrian's desire to guide and assist others is a major part of her personal portfolio. So it's understandable that the SIUE junior, a key contributor to the successful Cougars' softball team, will be saluted for her leadership skills.
"It's a great honor," said Adrian, an infielder from Auburn, Alabama. "There are a lot of deserving students around campus, so I was very surprised to receive it."
Adrian, majoring in public health, added: "It's not just about athletics or academics, so it's very special to me."
When Adrian isn't hitting, fielding or throwing a softball, she spends her time benefiting and motivating others.
Michelle Welter, SIUE's Associate Director for the Kimmel Student Involvement Center, said Adrian is a worthy recipient for the annual award.
"We've been doing this for at least 18 years, and it's a prestigious award," Welter said. "It's one of the highest individual awards we give on campus."
The award was established in honor of Carol Kimmel, a longtime member of the SIU Board of Trustees. Kimmel, who dedicated her life to education, served a dozen years on the board before her death in 2008.
Welter noted, "Haley is an outstanding student leader and has demonstrated her leadership on campus. She's a student-athlete who is on the University Center Board, an undergraduate research assistant and a volunteer for disability services.
"Haley has done a lot of things, and she takes her role seriously. She has empowered others," Welter said.
SIUE Head Softball Coach Sandy Montgomery said the 5-foot, 6-inch Adrian, a right-handed hitter and thrower, gives her best on and off the field.
"She's a great person and great teammate," Montgomery said. "She has been involved in a lot of different things and causes since she has been here. She does and says the right things."
That includes honing her softball skills for the Cougars, sporting a sparkling 35-8 record through April 20. Adrian, serving mainly as a reserve infielder, is hitting .200 and had an on-base percentage of .333.
When Montgomery calls on her, Adrian is primed to play.
"She understands her role right now and she is very upbeat in the dugout," Montgomery said. "That's the sign of a good person. She exemplifies the word teammate."
Adrian embraces all of her activities, including serving as a group leader for Cougar guides and a private tutor through support services.
"They are all very rewarding experiences," she said. "My parents instilled me with that (service) attitude, and I've been doing that my whole life, including high school."
Adrian pointed out, "My first year at SIUE I was getting a feel for things because I was concentrating on softball. Then I started getting involved in more organizations my sophomore year.
"One of my most rewarding positions was becoming president of the student-advisory committee. We want to make the student-athlete experience more enjoyable for everybody."
Her experience with softball has been quite enjoyable, Adrian said.
"We have a good team, and I think what makes us so good is our strong team chemistry," she said. "It's such a friendly environment. Everybody has a role and mine is to be ready to go all the time."

Diabetic shock symptoms come from your body's reaction to too much insulin. Every diabetic needs to know what to expect when it happens and how to treat it.
We learn to recognize diabetic shock symptoms because the medications we take often cause low blood sugar as a side effect.
Here are the symptoms you should watch for so you can treat it quickly.
If you feel dizzy or shaky you may have mild hypoglycemia, or diabetic shock symptoms. Sudden moodiness or feeling snappy and irritable may also be a warning.
You could begin to sweat and have a fast heartbeat, or you might feel hungry out of the blue.
Do not simply ignore these symptoms because they are mild. If you are driving, stop. Check your blood sugar. If it is low, get a small snack.
Be prepared. Have glucose tablets or something else with you all the time for those moments. Do not go back to driving until your blood sugar is normal.
Your brain is extremely sensitive to low blood sugar. You may have an attack of confusion or get a sudden headache.
Another of the diabetic shock symptoms is clumsiness. If you drop things or feel awkward when you walk, bumping into doorways and furniture, it may be from this.
Blurred vision and spots before your eyes are common warnings that your blood sugar is much too low.
This symptom makes reading your glucose monitor difficult, so you may need to ask for help.
Check your blood sugar if you can but if you cannot, begin to treat the diabetic shock symptoms anyway. But do not panic and start cramming food.
This list of snacks may help. Notice the amounts because the sugar in them will raise blood sugar enough for most of us.
1. One-half cup of any soda that is not diet.
2. One cup of milk or orange juice.
3. One tablespoon of sugar or honey.
4. One-fourth cup of raisins (a small palm full).
5. Five or six LifeSavers or other wrapped candy, or three to five glucose tablets.
Wait 15 minutes and check your blood sugar again. If it is still low, repeat the snack. Wait another 15 minutes and repeat until your blood sugar is back in the 80s.
If you cannot swallow or are throwing up, someone needs to call 9-1-1 so you can get intravenous glucose.
Insulin users have to be extra careful, because if you just injected insulin it will keep your blood sugar low even though you are treating diabetic shock symptoms with snacks.
If your blood sugar drops really low – into the 30s or lower – the diabetic shock symptoms are fainting, unconsciousness and even diabetic coma.Learn more about this serious condition.
There is something you can do to prepare your family to deal with these diabetic shock symptoms. Ask your doctor about getting a glucagon kit.
A lot of us do not have one because they are expensive and usually reach their expiration date before they are ever needed. Besides this, glucagon is difficult to use if you have not been instructed.
That is because glucagon is a freeze dried product that has to be mixed with a small vial of water and swished before it can be injected. It is a four-step process.
On top of that, the written instructions inside the glucagon kit are hard to read. People who have never used glucagon before often give up and decide to wait for emergency personnel.
So educate your family and friends if you choose to carry a glucagon rescue kit. The steps are simple once people know what to expect.
It would be wonderful if more of us carried this rescue kit. Quick treatment can prevent brain damage and even death.
The good news is that at least two pharmaceutical companies
are developing a glucagon pen. This will be similar to the EpiPen for
allergic reactions, making the glucagon simple to use.
When this happens, more diabetics will carry glucagon rescue kits, and more people will use them to rescue type 1 and type 2 diabetics from diabetic shock symptoms.
Here are some things you can do to prepare yourself for hypoglycemia and avoid the consequences of diabetic shock symptoms.1. Know the things that lead to diabetic shock and avoid them.
2. Always carry a snack and glucose tablets with you.
3. Wear a diabetic ID bracelet and carry a card that identifies your special needs and your medications.
4. Know what to do if you inject insulin and then cannot eat.
5. Do not keep driving if you experience even mild symptoms of diabetic shock.
6. Talk to your doctor about what to do if you get sick or during high stress situations.
7. Follow the diabetes plan you have worked out with your doctors.
Do not change anything without talking to them first. That includes exercise and diet changes as well as travel plans.
Because we are diabetic we need to know how hypoglycemia happens and what it feels like. Be prepared because even if severe hypoglycemia never happens to you, you might be a hero for someone else.
Lives have been saved by diabetics who were able to help in an emergency. They had what was needed and knew what to do.
You may need an angel someday, but you might also get to be an angel. You never know.

Considering that seven out of ten kids get lost at some point in their lives, talking to them about this common (and traumatic) childhood event should be high on every parent's to-do list.
The talk is sometimes difficult (especially if we're repeating the misinformation we were given as kids like "find a police officer" which is usually impossible). So, to make it easier, here are the top 5 things your kids need to know now, should they get lost:
1. Know your parent's name and phone number.
If you ask most kids under 3 what their parents names are, they'll tell you, "Mama" or "Daddy." That won't cut it when a kind stranger is trying to get information out of a panicked kid. Ask them, tell them, and practice your names over and over so they remember them. Make learning your phone numbers easier by turning them into songs.
2. Stay close to your safe adult.
The rule is: if you can see them, they can see you. This goes a long way in preventing children getting lost.
3. If you get lost, stop where you are and yell.
Kids aren't often allowed to really yell as loud as possible but this is exactly what they need to do. Let them practice this. Have them yell your name or "mom/dad" over and over. Let them know that being loud will help you hear where they are.
4. Look for a mom with kids and ask for help.
This is where it helps to know your name and phone number because you want that mom to try to call you. Why should they look for a mom with kids and not a dad with kids? We asked the same question of safety experts. It's because statistically, this is the safest option. If the child is in a store, they can also ask a person at the cash register for help.
5. Know that you will be found.
Being lost is a common childhood event and almost all the kids who go lost are found (and we won't talk about the few who aren't). Kids should be told: don't hide because you're scared. Don't go searching the area. And certainly don't leave the area (aka – don't leave a store to wander the parking structure). Take a deep breath and remember your safety steps.
We know it isn't easy to talk about these things, especially if your kids are already anxious. But talking about these things actually helps to ease the anxiety because you're giving kids tools that will make them feel empowered in the situation rather than helpless.
And parents, should they get lost — as nerve-wracking as it is, please don't yell at or punish your kids. Getting lost is traumatizing enough for them. And remember, these things rarely happen twice — especially if you've taught them these steps.
To help everyone learn these steps (and to encourage closeness and trust on the topic) check out The Mother Company's book When Lyla Got Lost (and Found) — ideal for kids ages 2-6.More On

I was really laughing at work when I saw this guy
This marshal was trying to cross the track at an F1 show event in Japan when he realized Sebastien Buemi's Red Bull F1 show car was coming right at him and his only option was to jump over the F1 racer. What a dumb idea!
Unfortunately, the man was able to walk away from this incident in fine shape which took place during the Red Bull F1 Exhibition in Japan.

A man reported an armed robbery at the home of an acquaintance in Murfreesboro. The alleged robbery occurred on Sycamore Circle.
The victim told authorities that he and several friends were at Rogers Park around 8 PM on Monday when they decided to go to a home on Sycamore Circle. While at that home, one of the men the victim was said to be with assaulted him and robbed him of his $1,000 Movado brand watch, EBT card, and $1,500 in cash. The victim told officers the subject was armed with a gun.
No arrest has been made, but the case was turned over to detectives with the Murfreesboro Police Department, according to an incident report.
On a side note, the victim refused medical treatment.

While most artists aspire to have their best work hung on the walls of galleries and museums, two professors in the University of Illinois School of Art and Design have a different dream: They hope their work might provide corrugated cardboard, laminated building materials, or maybe the insulation hidden behind the art gallery walls. Eric Benson, a professor of graphic design, and Steve Kostell, a professor of art and design, are collaborators in Fresh Press – a research project focused on using indigenous fibers and agricultural waste to make environmentally friendly paper products.
They have already produced a variety of papers using corn stalks, soybean vines, tomato plants and sunflower stems, as well as rye, Miscanthus giganteus and big bluestem prairie grasses. "Any long-fiber plant can be a viable paper material," Kostell said. In fact, many papermakers experimented with similar fiber sources through the late 19th century, losing interest in these crops only after a method for using tree pulp was perfected in 1890.
"We're going back to that and saying maybe they shouldn't have stopped researching those fibers," Kostell said. "Prairie grass makes some pretty amazing paper, we've found."
Kostell has been making paper since 2001, and incorporates papermaking in the art and design curriculum at Illinois; Benson's expertise is in environmentally sustainable design. Fresh Press merges their respective specialties into a concept that they believe could eventually transform the paper industry.
"We're really interested in changing the system of papermaking," Benson said. "Currently, the system is based on harvesting trees, and we find that to be a very environmentally unfriendly method of papermaking."
"What we want to do is cause a paradigm shift in where our fibers come from and responsible use of materials," Kostell said.
In their pole barn studio, they file samples of each type of paper they've produced, along with meticulous "recipes" of the fiber blends, cooking and beating times, with test results indicating how the paper responds to various printing processes and inks. "We can use our papers for screenprint, letterpress, inkjet printers, digital offset printers and Xerox iGen, so I think it has contending viability in the marketplace," Benson said.
The fibers sources, however, are just the first step of the transformation. Benson and Kostell constantly tweak the entire papermaking process to make it as environmentally sustainable as possible. It begins at the U. of I.'s Sustainable Student Farm, where farm director Zack Grant supplies them with bales of agricultural waste. Instead of using additives to blanch their fibers, they lighten the color through "ultraviolet bleaching" (letting vines sit out in the sun) or blend it with naturally white cotton fiber (scraps from a textile manufacturer's waste stream). They also produce papers with earthy hues instead of bright white. "There are all these beautiful tones that people could be using," Kostell said, "especially if they're not doing much but printing black ink on it."
The grasses, vines and stalks have to be dried, chipped and then boiled with soda ash to neutralize the acids and remove the pithy material that surrounds the long fibers. The resulting slurry is circulated through a "beater" (similar to a meat grinder) for about an hour to further break down the fibers, then mixed into a vat of water. When a mould and deckle (a rectangular framed mesh screen) is dragged through the vat, fibers adhere to the mesh, creating a watery sheet of paper. Over the next 24 hours, each sheet gets squeezed, pressed and dried.
Benson and Kostell collect rainwater to cook the fibers, and recycle the water from the fiber vats using a micro-filtering process developed by the Prairie Research Institute's Sustainable Technology Center. They are currently researching ways to use solar energy or bio-char to fuel the cookers, and plan to use the Sustainable Student Farm's electric tractor for chipping as soon as they're able to expand the Fresh Press operation.
"One of the things we're trying to do with this fiber investigation is model a closed-loop system," Kostell said, "reducing our reliance on municipal water and fossil fuel as much as we can."
Fresh Press won a 2013 (Re)Design Award from AIGA, the professional association for design. They have fulfilled commissions from the U. of I.'s Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts and the office of the university president. Their largest job so far was producing more than 250 sheets of 12-by-18 inch prairie grass paper for the Student Sustainability Committee. The paper was sent to the university's document services shop, where a Xerox iGen quartered and trimmed the sheets, yielding more than a thousand cards.
Benson and Kostell believe their venture could eventually aid the local economy by paying farmers for their agricultural waste. "Using that existing stream of fiber will be a lot more of a socially and environmentally friendly way of stewarding the land," Benson said.

|SEIU (CtW), CLC
|Key people
|Bruce Raynor, General President
|United States, Canada
Workers United is an American and Canadian union which represents about 85,000 workers in the textile, commercial laundry, pharmaceutical, and gaming industries.[3][4]
After a lengthy and divisive internal leadership struggle within UNITE HERE, the union's then-president Bruce Raynor led 100,000 members of the union's membership (primarily in its apparel division) in disaffiliating from the national union on March 24, 2009, formed a new union called Workers United, and affiliated the union with Service Employees International Union (SEIU).[5] The first president of the new union was Edgar Romney, a former UNITE HERE elected official.[6] On May 30, Bruce Raynor resigned as president of UNITE HERE, Romney resigned as president of Workers United, and Raynor was named Romney's successor.[7][8]
In May 2009, the New York Daily News reported that Workers United was running a deficit of $300,000 a month, the deficit was expected to widen, that SEIU had loaned the union $1 million to shore up its finances, and that Workers United was considering asking SEIU for $1.3 million a month and suspension of all dues payments in order to keep Workers United solvent.[4][9] The media later reported that an internal Workers United memo admitted that membership was closer to 100,000 than 150,000 and that membership was falling as employers refused to honor contracts with the union.[4] An SEIU official confirmed that the loan had been made.[9] However, on July 9, 2009, the National Labor Relations Board held that Workers United was the bargaining agent for contracts at five major employers (Continental Linen Services, Premair of Cleveland, Gateway Packaging Co., Associated Hotels Duluth, and American Etc. Inc. d/b/a Royal Laundry).[10]
Workers United won a significant organizing victory in the U.S. apparel manufacturing industry in July 2010.[11] The workers, with the support of state politicians[12] and Hollywood stars,[13] the workers won a contract and successfully pressured the employer to keep the plant open.[citation needed]
SEIU and UNITE HERE agreed to end their dispute on July 25, 2010. As part of the agreement, ownership of the Amalgamated Bank will be transferred to Workers United (pending approval of federal banking regulators).[14] UNITE HERE retained ownership of the union's headquarters in New York City and an additional $75 million in assets.[14] The agreement also settles a jurisdictional dispute over which workers the unions will organize. UNITE HERE agreed to restrict its organizing in the food service industry to those workers at airline caterers, airports, businesses, convention centers, and athletic stadiums, while SEIU and Workers United will restrict its organizing activity in the industry to food service workers in state and local government, health care facilities, and prisons.[14] Both unions will continue to organize food service workers in elementary, middle, and secondary schools and in higher education.[14] The two unions had also disagreed over whether several thousand members of Workers United had been given the opportunity to choose which union they wished to belong. In the new agreement, SEIU and UNITE HERE agreed to let an arbitrator decide to which union the workers wished to belong to.[14]

"Brian Kelley managed our property for about 8 years. When we were finally ready to sell, of course we had every confidence in him listing and showing our home. He coordinated every aspect of issues that might be problematic in selling or showing the property in its best light. We were very a happy with his professionalism and compassion as well as meeting deadlines for the close of escrow. We also appreciated Brian's dedication to our needs as the homeowner/landlord. We highly recommend Brian Kelley for your rental and/or selling needs."

The Health and Social Care Bill in the Lords
The government's controversial Health and Social Care Bill is making its way through Parliament, and after being approved by MPs, it's now with the House of Lords for further scrutiny and revision.
The involvement of the Peers marks an important step in the passage of the Bill and could be an opportunity to get the changes we need to stop or alter the Bill's measures which could break up and sell off parts of our health service.
Adopt a Peer
You can help raise concerns about the proposed changes to the NHS by writing to a member of the House of Lords. They aren't as used to individual lobbying as MPs, so receiving personal contacts from members of the public should really get their attention.
Of course, one of the reasons they don't get much contact is that they don\'t have a direct group of constituents. We can help get around this, using this tool to adopt a Peer. We'll match you at random to a member of the House of Lords and help you to contact them, either directly with a posted letter, or by email.
To get started, add your email address here:

Hello {!firstname},
Do hope you are enjoying the holiday season so far.
It was certainly nice to be on Manitoulin Island, here in the cold North for the holidays.
And while it rained all day on Christmas eve, it got cold enough on December 24th evening for it to snow,
so we ended up with a white christmas after all.
Bing Crosby wouldn't dream of it any other way.
But that was shortly lived, as the snow melted away on Boxing day.
Now while people do crazy stuff in the city, like lining up outside a big box
store at 2am, and freezing their asses so save a few bucks on a HDTV, on boxing day,
some people on the island here do some slightly different crazy things.
Earlier in the week, a deer was killed just in front of our house on the frozen lake.
The coyotes or wolves had pretty well ripped it apart, and all that was left was the
head and the antlers.
Nature doing what nature does.
A gruesome sight, nonetheless.
Mrs K. and myself had just come back from walking our dog, and we saw a car
pulled up in front of our property.
It was a bunch of twentysomethings who decided they wanted to investigate the carcass
a little more, so they threw a rock on the ice to see if it was safe enough to walk out on.
Well, the rock survived, but the problem was it had rained a lot, and in some areas
you could see the ice had thinned around our dock.
So one of the group walked directly over to the carcass about 50ft out, and the others
were going to follow.
That's when Mrs K. warned them that if they went through the ice, she would not be going
over to try to rescue them. (And neither would yours truly for that matter!).
They looked at each other,, and then sheepishly came back, got in their
car and left.
This is an example of where curiousity might have killed the cat, (and no amount of satisfaction
would bring it back!).
Or was it just plain stupidity?
This is the kind of stuff you read about in the papers.
Usually followed by: "What a great person, he/she was"...
Oh well.........
Clear Skies,
Ray Khan
PS Even the cops were in full force doing ride spot checks all day long here;
When will folks learn, drinking and driving is a really bad combination?

When you get an email, do you look first to see who it is from before you open it? There are a few reasons for this:
- We're in a hurry – why open an email from someone we don't know or don't want to hear from?
- Maybe you might know the name, but can't put it together with a face
- We're skeptics – yes, this is a bit true for all of us. If we don't know the sender, it might just be SPAM. We wouldn't want to open that, would we?
Everyone looks at the "from" first. So, if you send an email, how does your recipient know if it is you sent it? The real question is, how do they recognize you; that is, by what name? Are you "John Smith", or are you "Allied Technologies"? If I don't recognize the name, I might not open it. If I suddenly got an email from "Sara Collins" instead of "Lands End" – well, you get the picture.
Here is a true scenario:
I know a guy, John (okay, I'm changing the name to protect the innocent), who has a successful business. He is always out and about, and I know John and his business name as well. When he sends emails, the "from" name is his office assistant, Amy. I must have deleted 100 emails from Amy before I learned of this by innocently asking him once why I never got any emails from him. His reasoning: the business name contained the name of a nearby county, but he worked in other counties in our area as well.
Since I have yet to ever meet Amy, and the name of the organization is not mentioned either, I probably still miss a lot of emails from John. Like everyone, I'm in a hurry and don't immediately recognize the name and have never met Amy, so my brain doesn't put it together with anything.
It's true, we picture the person in our mind who is sending the email. Of course, if it is a company name, we probably have a connection in our mind as well. So, it's important to be who you are, and use a from line that will be most recognizable to your audience.

All living beings have been your mother in a former life say Buddhist teachings that encourage altruism toward others. On Mother's Day, we can practice learning to see all beings as our mother -or whoever cared for us when we were young, in order to shift toward a kinder way of being. The more we engage in this type of contemplation, using rebirth as a metaphor, the more we develop a sense of equanimity and can relate with compassion and empathy.
'Bodhicitta' is the aspiration to realize enlightenment for the benefit of others. "The jewel that is the seed of pure happiness in the world and the remedy for the suffering of the world." Enlightening beings, called bodhisattvas, altruistic heroes of the mind, seek to generate the thought of awakening and then maintain the thought as they fare on the Buddha path. In Tibetan Buddhism, bodhicitta is said to have six causes: 1) Seeing All Sentient Beings As One's Mothers, 2) Remembering Their Kindness, 3) Repaying Their Kindness, 4) Love, 5) Boundless Compassion and, 6) Altruistic Intention.

Skype makes more enterprise inroads
Skype has teamed with FaceTime Communications to give companies more control over Skype use within the enterprise.
Skype has been praised for its cost-effectiveness, but the folks showering it with compliments have also cursed the affordable VoIP application, saying there is little or no way to control it once it gets behind the enterprise walls.
By many estimates, one third of all of Skype's several million users in North America -- 171 million people worldwide use Skype -- are using it behind the enterprise firewall. And though many organizations know it's being used somewhere, it's hard to detect and even more difficult to control.
According to Frank Cabri, vice president of marketing for FaceTime Communications, Skype no longer has to be seen as an unknown monster lurking on the network. FaceTime has teamed with Skype for end-to-end security and management to give companies the reins to control Skype use and ensure that it's both safe and productive.
FaceTime makes solutions for securing and managing greynets, including IM, peer-to-peer (P2P) and other Web-based applications. FaceTime's new Internet Security Edition lets companies manage how Skype is used across the network by combining gateway security and control with endpoint management of Skype software. FaceTime's tools use open application programming interfaces developed and made available by Skype for its business partners through Skype's IT management framework.
FaceTime Internet Security Edition consists of two components: Greynet Enterprise Manager, which manages endpoint policies on the LAN, and Real-Time Guardian, which resides at the network gateway to stop inbound malware threats, as well as outbound information leaks. Cabri said that this architecture ensures secure enforcement of all Skype policies at the desktop while also evaluating network traffic to guard against rogue Skype use at the network edge by employees trying to circumvent company policies.
"[Managers] are concerned about Skype because they can't manage it," Cabri said. "They don't have any visibility." In many cases, that lack of visibility has led to company-wide Skype bans, he said, because "most IT organizations want to know what's going on on the network."
Paul Sheth, network and systems lead at Dallas-based Holly Corp., an independent oil refining company, said he's banned Skype from his network because of the lack of control and its potential to hog bandwidth. He added, however, that being able to manage and control Skype and similar Internet apps would make their use within the company more attractive.
"We use Skype for nothing," Sheth said. "We've practically blocked it at every point of entry we can. We didn't want it to use up the bandwidth we have at some of our remote sites."
Sheth said that Holly Corp. allows IM and some file-sharing and uses FaceTime's Greynet Enterprise Manager and Real-Time Guardian to keep their use under control with monitoring and endpoint remediation. He said having that same level of management for Skype would improve the chances that Holly Corp. would allow it.
If Skype proves itself enterprise-ready and he can control its use, Sheth said that he wouldn't oppose allowing it on the network.
For many companies, Skype has become an attractive business option for providing low-cost, real-time Internet communications such as VoIP calls and presence. FaceTime's managed Skype tool gives network admins the ability to manage Skype use on the network with controls to choose which elements of Skype software can be used. For example, a company may allow Skype to be used for voice but not for file-sharing or as a supernode.
"Skype is a powerful example of the employee demand for real-time collaboration," Cabri said. "IT managers are recognizing that a simple 'block or allow' scenario is not a workable solution for securing their networks, because Internet communications software -- such as Skype -- has become integral to the work culture of today's employees."
According to Skype, new features to Skype for Business make it more powerful for enterprise users. Features include easier installation and management. Combining Skype's new management features with FaceTime's level of control can make Skype more compelling for businesses that are looking to manage and control security, telecommunications costs and employee productivity.
"Today, 33% of Skype's users in North America are utilizing Skype for business purposes," company COO Kurt Sauer said in a statement. "As a result of our work with FaceTime, network administrators now have centralized management capabilities in addition to the cost savings, simplicity and productivity advantages Skype offers to businesses."
In its second annual greynets survey, FaceTime, along with NewDiligence Market Research, found that two-thirds of IT managers know that IM, P2P and other real-time applications have benefits, but those same managers noted that those apps must be managed by IT. Elsewhere, the survey found that four in 10 employees feel they have the right to install applications such as Skype, IM and P2P on their work machines, and more than half of those end users work at locations where policies that govern the use of such applications are ignored.
FaceTime's Internet Security Edition allows centralized policies to be set and controlled at the systems administration level, and they can be applied to each end user's desktop so that Skype adheres to those policies. Managers can allow or disallow different elements of Skype for the entire company, certain groups or departments, or individuals. IT can control who can and cannot use certain Skype tools, such as file transfer, voice calling, video calling, voicemail and voice recording.
In addition, proxy settings and listen port settings can be calibrated and turned on or off for users. Administrators can prevent users from broadcasting their presence online, and presence settings can also be enabled or disabled to prevent users from showing their availability. Other parameters can be set to prevent users from becoming supernodes or relay nodes, and a real-time bandwidth usage indicator lets IT measure and determine Skype's impact on network traffic.

Mitt Romney's Betrayal
Most people who attend catered parties and fundraisers give little thought to the waitstaff that serves them.
The social hierarchy at these events is established at hello. Servers, car valets and coat check clerks wear name tags that seldom include their last names. As a result, guests feel free to call them by their first names, even as these workers address them as "ma'am" or "sir."
In my 10 years as a columnist, I've interviewed hundreds of servers who work for caterers and party centers. Overwhelmingly, they are women, and most are single mothers. Almost to a person, male or female, they describe having to endure, silently and with good humor, customers' boorish behavior. Their employers make clear that they must put up with this as part of their job.
They learn how to dodge the drunkards' paws. They apologize profusely in the face of public dress-downs by bullies who get their jollies belittling hourly wage earners because they can. They pretend not to hear the disparaging comments by those who act as if the people who minutes earlier took their drink orders suddenly have no ears.
And so it was that at a May fundraiser at the home of a wealthy private-equity investor in Boca Raton, Fla., Mitt Romney let loose on a population of Americans that includes the human beings who tended to him and his wealthy guests in that room.
From a now-viral video of his speech at that fundraiser:
There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it — that that's an entitlement and the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. … These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of low taxes doesn't connect. And he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that's what they sell every four years. And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.
If you watch the YouTube video, posted by Mother Jones magazine, you'll notice the server who passes back and forth in front of the camera. You may note the clinking of glasses and cutlery in the background as the hired help does its job.
Much already has been said and written about Romney's heartless depiction of those Americans who do not pay income taxes. He disparaged a lot of hardworking Americans, including retired senior citizens, members of our military and hourly wage earners.

Referee: A. Kelly
St Pat's remain top of the Airtricity League Premier Division table thanks to a fantastic David McAllister strike at Richmond Park.
Meeting for the third time in less than two weeks, McAllister's shot into Richard Brush's top left corner on 57 minutes sealed a third win from those three Setanta Sports Cup and league games for Pat's.
Former Saint Joseph Ndo made his long awaited debut for Rovers but his excellent footwork and silky skills couldn't inspire his side on a night in which they lost Mauro Almeida to a nasty-looking Achilles injury.
The two sides had met twice last week in those two-legged Setanta semi-finals but there was added spice to this third meeting.
With the red tape around his move to Rovers finally cut, one-time Cameroon international and former Saints favourite Ndo finally made his first appearance for the Bit' o Red.
Sligo started well and Padraig Amond did well on five minutes to tee-up John Dillon in the danger area but the Sligo number seven dithered and allowed Pat's defender Derek Pender time to intercept.
A minute later Ndo sent a cracking ball behind the Pat's defence but it flew into touch before the inrushing Amond could connect.
Pat's Ryan Guy recovered quickly from a Gary McCabe tackle on 13, picked himself up and sent a cross into the Rovers area but Gavin Peers headed away before a Pat's man could take advantage.
Ndo then took a great shot from the left of the Pat's box on 15 but sent the ball is ball high over the right hand side of Gary Rogers' goal.
Rovers keeper Brush made a fantastic right handed save on 20 minutes from McAllister after excellent build up work from Guy and Vinny Faherty.
Rovers were forced to make a change on 26 minutes when Almeida came down badly and suffered an Achilles injury. The Portuguese defender was carried off on a stretcher and replaced by Paul Whelan.
A game that had bright spots throughout then became quite pedestrian with fewer chances and they went in scoreless at half time.
On 48 minutes Pat's fans were shouting for a penalty when Faherty went down in the area under Brush's challenge but referee Alan Kelly was satisfied that Brush had made contact with the ball.
The deadlock was finally broken on 57 minutes in dramatic fashion when McAllister took possession on the right of the Sligo area, picked his spot and smashed an unstoppable effort into the top corner of Brush's net.
McCabe had a chance to get the visitors right back in it just a minute later but is rasping shot was blocked by Rogers at the near post.
On 70, a Stuart Byrne free for Pat's was met by the head of Faherty but the former Galway United man angled his header over the bar.
Ndo had his first decent chance of the second half on 72 when he lost his marker, turned and flicked but cannoned the ball high and wide from 25 yards.
Seconds later at the other end the Rovers defence allowed Paul Byrne too much time on the ball and he fired from outside the area but Brush was well placed to save.
Richie Ryan was next to try his look for Rovers on 80 minutes but he shot wide from 20 yards. They had further chances but Pat's held on.
One minute's applause was held before the game in memory of the Leitrim GAA player Phillip McGuinness who died in hospital earlier this week of injuries sustained in a club game last Saturday.
