Last week I talked a bit about the differences between what Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews consider kosher for Passover. One thing I've noticed over the years is that some of our Sephardic friends serve lamb for the Seder, while our Ashkenazi friends do not. Like the concept of kitniyot, it's one of those strange traditional variances that set the Sephardic and Ashkenazi traditions apart during the holidays.
Recently I asked Rabbi Olitsky at the Jewish Outreach Institute why lamb isn't served at the Ashkenazi Seder table. He explained to me that Ashkenazi Jews traditionally equate eating lamb at Passover to eating the paschal sacrifice. Therefore, Ashkenazi tradition has made this meat off-limits during the week of Passover.
There is a Jewish law that prohibits roasting a whole lamb for Passover. However, there is no Torah law forbidding the consumption of kosher lamb meat during Passover (provided it's not a whole lamb). It's all about how you read/interpret the meaning of the Torah. In many Sephardic Jewish communities, lamb is eaten on Passover for exactly the same reason that Jews avoid it. In fact, lamb is considered a delicacy, and is often only served for the Passover Seder as a "special occasion" entrée.
So… should you serve lamb during Passover? Again, it's a question of tradition. If your family has never eaten lamb for the Seder, they probably won't be comfortable changing things. But in many parts of the world, lamb is the Passover meat of choice. It all depends on how you choose to celebrate, and how adventurous you feel.
My lamb shank recipe can be enjoyed for a Sephardic-style Passover, or any day. In fact, it might just be the perfect meal for those of you wanting to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Lamb is a very Irish sort of meat. Enjoy!

Why are vows made at the baptism of an infant? They are not in the Bible, so how can we require them? Aren't the vows made by the parents and the congregation when they become members enough?
Thank you for your questions.
In answer:
1. The OPC as a Church is committed to the Westminster Confession of Faith as a subordinate standard under the supreme authority of the Bible as God's word. It affirms, "The whole counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own glory, man's salvation, faith and life, is either expressly set down in Scripture, or by good and necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture..." (chapter 1, section 6, italics added). The highlighted language expresses an important principle that bears directly on your second question. The teaching of the Bible, what the Bible may require, is not only its explicit statements but also what follows from those statements (of course always taken in context) by sound deduction. The biblical basis for baptizing infants, for instance, rests on this principle. So, the fact that the vows asked of parents at the baptism of an infant are not explicit in Scripture does not mean that they are unbiblical or should not be required.
2. The OPC's Directory for Public Worship orders our Church's worship, in conformity with the biblical elements of worship, according to the general principle, "all things should be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40). The four vows asked of parents at the baptism of an infant (the congregation may be exhorted but does not take a vow) facilitate good order in the Church for its well being. The substance of these vows elicits from these specific parents for this specific infant commitments that are biblical and essential for realizing the purpose of the sacrament of baptism.
3. The vows for public profession of faith/becoming a communicant member (by the way, these five vows, like the four made at the baptism of infants, are also not explicit in the Bible) do not have in view the commitment made by parents at the baptism of an infant. The membership vows are often taken by those who are not (yet) married and may never marry and have children or do not intend to marry. Further, those who are not (yet) convinced of infant baptism and may remain unconvinced may become members in the OPC (though by their membership vows they agree to receive our Church's teaching on infant baptism and, by implication, not to oppose it openly).
For these reasons there is biblical warrant for the vows made by parents at the baptism of infants.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

NEA kicks off 13th Annual Read Across America Day at Library of Congress with First Lady Michelle Obama
Secretary of Education, Librarian of Congress, NEA leaders and members of Congress read to kids
WASHINGTON - March 02, 2010 -
The National Education Association today, joined by First Lady Michelle Obama along with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel and members of Congress, read their favorite Dr. Seuss books to nearly 300 Arlington, Va. and District of Columbia elementary school students. The event celebrated Dr. Seuss' 106th birthday, and kicked off the Association's national Read Across America campaign, where an estimated 45 million educators, parents, and students are expected to participate in events nationwide.
"On Dr. Seuss' birthday I think it's fitting that we celebrate the significance of reading. As parents it's important that we continue to highlight its benefits. Reading not only brings families together but it prepares our children for a lifetime of learning," said First Lady Michelle Obama.
The gleeful first through third graders, wearing the Cat in the Hat trademark red and white stovepipe hats, were treated to the antics of Thing 1 and Thing 2 and the nearly 7-foot-tall Cat in the Hat. Mrs. Obama and Secretary Duncan stressed the importance of reading and led students in a pledge to read every day.
"We are honored that the First Lady, Secretary Duncan and members of Congress could be with us today to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday and encourage our students to read," said National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel. "Reading opens up a whole new world of opportunities to children. Since coming to Washington, Michelle Obama has made it her mission to read to students around the Washington, D.C. area and entice them to grab those opportunities."
Following the Library of Congress event the celebration continues as NEA is once again revving its engines to put the "across" in Read Across America. NEA's fifth annual "Cat-a-Van Reading Tour" is hitting the road with a message: Read, Read, Read! This year, the Cat-a-Vans will travel to the Midwest featuring signature events in Indiana, Iowa and Wisconsin on March 2-4, bringing the gift of reading to hundreds of schoolchildren.
NEA will also sponsor a reading event for New York City schoolchildren on March 4 as part of the WNET's Celebration of Teaching and Learning Conference. Nationwide, NEA's state and local affiliates are sponsoring Read Across America events all week.
"Reading sparks children's imagination and creative potential," said Dr. Billington.
"When you open a book, you open the door to new worlds. The Library of Congress joins the First Lady, Secretary Duncan and the NEA in celebrating the joy of reading on this special day."
Sponsored by NEA, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, L.P. and more than 50 national partner organizations, Read Across America is a year-round literacy campaign designed to motivate children to read by making it fun. It culminates every year on the birthday of Dr. Seuss, the beloved children's book author. This year, NEA's Read Across America Day is March 2. More than 45 million children and adults are expected to pick up a book and read that day as part of the celebration, now in its 13th year.
"No one should underestimate the importance of reading. If adults need to read to children every day and encourage them to read on their own, they'll be laying the foundation for success in school and in life," Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said. "I'm honored to join First Lady Michelle Obama, the National Education Association, and volunteers across the country for Read Across America. We should make sure we read across America every day."

This is the 12th year that we have published the IA 25, our annual list of the most influential people in and around the advisor industry. All the editors of the Investment Advisor Group—of Investment Advisor and Research magazines and ThinkAdvisor.com—weighed in over several months to choose individuals who in our judgment have been influential, are influential and likely in the future will influence the markets; how advisors invest and plan retirement for clients; and who will affect the regulatory and legislative environment in which advisors operate.
These are women and men whose decisions, intellectual capital, guidance and example—for good or ill—will affect how advisors run their businesses and invest their clients' money.
As you might expect, some of the people on this year's list are repeat honorees—Mark Tibergien has been on the list every year we've published it, while Dale Brown and Deena Katz have been honored eight times. However, there are 11 people (well, 12, counting Dave Drucker and Joel Bruckenstein, whose close partnership allows us to count them as one) who are on the list for the first time.
This is the fourth time that Bill Gross has been a member of the IA 25, and while money has been flowing out of PIMCO's flagship Total Return Fund for some time, we know that advisors continue to be keenly interested not simply in the drama surrounding Mohamed El-Erian's departure, but in Gross' thoughts about the future behavior of the Fed and the direction of interest rates. How do we know that? The analytics that our editors access on an intraday basis confirm our readers' keen interest in Gross. They also display the primary concern of advisors: regulation.
That has been the top worry of advisors and their partners for a number of years, as reflected in our annual Broker-Dealer Presidents' Poll (look for those findings in the June issue), and in TD Ameritrade's annual sentiment survey of its affiliated RIAs for five straight years, as honoree Skip Schweiss told me. That's why we've included on this year's list the SEC's enforcement chief, Andrew Ceresney, Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, the Institute for the Fiduciary Standard's Knut Rostad, consumer advocate Barbara Roper, securities attorney Tom Giachetti and the aforementioned Mr. Schweiss. Then there's SEC Chairman Mary Jo White, who shared her insights into what the commission will be focused on in an exclusive interview with our Washington Bureau Chief Melanie Waddell. As in the markets, advisors and their partners hate uncertainty in the regulatory arena as well. Here's hoping for more certainty.
Regulation is not the only issue that keeps advisors up at night, and where smart, passionate people in the industry have real influence on events and products and policies. Advisors are particularly interested in what their peers think and do, so several standout advisors are on the list this year.
In nearly every instance, an editorial staffer interviewed the honorees on our big list, which for convenience sake, we've split up into different categories. While we highlight certain honorees, we list them in alphabetical order by category. You can read all of the brief vignettes of those interviews that appeared in the magazine here. Throughout the month of May, we'll be updating this page with links to extended versions of each profile. See below for the schedule of when those profiles and supplemental content will be published.

I couldn't really understand how going back to Australia would turn out to be mostly a let down.
Recently a fellow teacher brought in a comic book called "Charisma Man". It's story is basically how a back home loser becomes desirable to japanese women.
Going back home I guess I was just another face in the crowd. I have to say coming here has improved my confidence so much.
One great thing about women here is that they don't blow off guys as easily as western women do. Not all guys are looking to pick up. Sometimes conversation is just that.
Another teacher noted that the type of people they hired had similar characteristics. At the time I didn't think much of it, but there is a kind of otaku vibe to us.
Sure, one can say being geeky isn't the most appealing trait in a person, but the opposite can be as off-putting as well.
There is someone who, from my first impression came across as over confident. He walked the walk and talked the talk. Basically he had tickets on himself. Ha, there's an aussie idiom for you!
He talks how he's so great with women. Yet, the only gf he has had since coming here many months ago was a 19yr old girl working at some fast food restaurant.
He said he has TOO MUCH respect for women. I just think that the fish stinks from the head (Thanks papa for that one), and the girls know it.
Anyway enough about that little rant. I feel like I'm beginning to sound like Doogie Howser MD.

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, among Hollywood's most enduring and legendary screen couples, grace a new poster for the 66th Cannes Film Festival that was released Friday.
The image is a captivating one — a photograph of Newman and Woodward kissing passionately that was taken during the shooting of a largely forgettable 1963 romantic comedy, "A New Kind of Love."
Newman and Woodward collaborated on several films together of varying quality. Highlights include "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," which earned Woodward an Oscar nomination, and "Rachel, Rachel," which was directed by Newman and also earned Woodward an Oscar nomination.
Their history together is tied with Cannes. They were married in 1958, the same year that their joint vehicle, "The Long Hot Summer," was shown in competition at the festival. Newman directed Woodward in two other films that were screened at Cannes, "The Effect of the Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" (Competition – 1973) and "The Glass Menagerie" (Competition – 1987).
Perhaps the couple's most astounding achievement: In an industry known for its flexible appreciation of marital vows, their marriage lasted for five decades.
When asked about infidelity, Newman joked, "Why go out for a hamburger when you have steak at home?"

Tour de France stage one winner Marcel Kittel did so on board Felt's new F1 FRD. If the carbon weave pattern on the frameset looks familiar, that's because Felt have collaborated with TeXtreme – the same guys who have produced the new Pro rear disc that we saw used in the Team Time Trial.
Whilst the frame is something special the rest of the bike is pretty standard stuff with the sort of equipment you can by in your local shop and having Shimano as co-sponsor means they also get the full Pro catalogue to choose from.

Shimano 9000 Di2 covers the bike with the latest SRM specific cranks that come from Shimano ready to bolt on the German powermeter.
Ever popular with the peloton sprinters, Kittel is running the carbon Vibe Sprint stem, but this time pairing with the carbon monocoque Vibe bars with very cleanly installed sprint buttons.
While sprinting is all about big numbers, the German clearly doesn't want to see all the digits choosing to tape over the middle section of his colour coordinated SRM mount.

The Lake of Sils is a protected natural area included in the Plan of Natural Interest of Catalonia (PEIN) and it has been incorporated into the European Network of Natural Areas Natura 2000, which is the core of European policies on biodiversity.
Until the mid-nineteenth century the lands included in this space corresponded to a pond which was totall dried in order to obtain new farmland and fight against malaria. However, thanks to its special conditions of moisture and flooding, there are still remainings of several species of flora and fauna characteristic of wetlands.
In recent centuries, the natural flood areas have declined and are nowadays scarce in Catalonia. In our context, the conservation of Mediterranean areas like Lake if Sils has become, therefore, of the maximum interest.
This website aims to inform about the Lake of Sils and gradually gather as much information available about its history and recent development. There is also information about the environmental awareness activities that are regularly organized.

Robert Shiller: Reasons to Cheer Housing Sector
Sales of new homes rose to the highest level in nearly five years in May, suggesting the housing industry will continue to power the U.S. recovery. Dr. Robert J. Shiller, Yale University professor and Case-Shiller co-founder, joins MoneyBeat.

there isnt much more to say other than this machine is larger capacity and less expensive than any other machine out there. it is solid and wellbuilt and very cool that you can lift off the basin. you also get bags with the machine and the bags are all mesh and drain way faster. bottom line is the budbubbler is the way to go dont waste your hard earned money on other machines. cheers.
This is a wonderful bubble kit! I've been makin' bubble for years now the old fashioned way. I'm a bit older now and this saves me time and energy - something of greater importance for someone my age. The Budbubbler performs as stated. It does all of the mixing and shaking for you. The only thing it doesn't come with is a nice strong helper to lift the basin! Thank you again for a wonderful product.
I purchased one of these Budbubblers on ebay. One thing I should point out is that it's much bigger than it seems in the photos...it's about the size of a smallish garbage can. This ended up being perfect for my purposes considering I was running a lot of material through it.
No cons with this product, it does what it says it does, ready to go out of the box. Price can't be beat...nowhere near the price of a Bubblenow machine or a Bubblemaster which are actually smaller in volume I think.
The included mesh bags are a nice bonus. I experimented with tying the bags closed at the top and submersing them entirely into the machine - excellent results!

Siteimprove Adds Key Metrics to Robust Analytics Tool
nov 14, 2016
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – November 15, 2016 – After releasing the new Behavior Map feature earlier this year, Siteimprove is excited to announce yet another major feature addition to its Analytics tool – Key Metrics. Siteimprove Key Metrics will help web teams transform strategic business objectives into measurable metrics that they can track and optimize for website success.
By allowing organizations to attach monetary values to each action on their website, they will be able to gather concrete, quantifiable data that gives stakeholders and management a glimpse at how the website is helping support overall business objectives.
"We are constantly identifying new ways to help our customers evaluate the state of their website and to help them truly understand how it's performing in relation to their objectives," said Ivan Bager, Director of Innovation at Siteimprove. "That's why Key Metrics is going to be crucial for our customers – it will literally change the way many organizations look at their analytics data, empowering them to prove value and optimize their websites."
Key Metrics provides retroactive data, so current customers will get an in-depth view of website performance over time. Metrics can easily be added or adjusted as an organization's needs change and due to the retroactive calculations, results will populate right away.

About our Historic Asheville Bed and Breakfast Inn
A Bed of Roses was built around 1897 by Oliver Davis Revell as an investment property for Mrs. J.B. Gray. O.D. Revell, a successful developer and self made man, was fatherless as an infant and an orphan by the age of 16, but grew from a talented carpenter to a shrewd businessman, building many variants of the Queen Anne style in Asheville NC. Shortly after Mrs. Gray was widowed, in 1897 O.D. Revell and Carolyn Gray were married, combining their fortunes and expanding his success into the former Indian Territories of Oklahoma. The Oliver Davis Room, the Revell Room and the Carolyn Gray Room are all named after this couple.
The Historic Register of Asheville lists the house as the Marvin B. Wilkinson House. Mr. Wilkinson purchased the house in 1904 and was its first long-term occupant. The Wilkinson room is named in his honor.
Architecturally, the inn is a Queen Anne Victorian featuring a large second story polygonal corner projection or turret with a broad ogee roof. The Turret Suite occupies this corner projection and stretches across the front façade of the house, opening to the right hand balcony through a broad glass paned door. The front porch is characterized by stylized Doric columns sitting on stone pedestals. Situated to the back of a long narrow expanse of lawn, flowering trees and gardens, the building beckons you to follow the long path in and explore this peaceful remnant of Victorian history.

I was recently introduced to an alternative health care clinic in Mexico. I was shocked to find out they've treated over 750 patients suffering from MS using ibogaine!
I spoke with a 43 year old women who takes a flood dose of ibogaine immediately after feeling the onset of an exacerbation. She says it stops her relapses dead in their tracks,
and she's taken ibogaine at least once a year for the last 22 years.
Another man claims to have thrown his wheel chair in the garbage after his first time using 5-MEO-DMT. He says the psychedelic trip taught him a new way to use his legs.
Again.. 750+ patients have used this, just in this one clinic in Mexico.
The clinic's chief of staff says he's used COCKTAILS of several different psychedelic medicines for treatment of not just multiple sclerosis, but on a myriad of different neurological
diseases with great results. They regularly use - ibogaine, DMT, ayahuasca, peyote, magic mushrooms, and occasionally LSD.
Some evidence suggests that the neurodegeneration in Parkinson's may be caused by the body's own immune system losing the ability to determine between healthy and unhealthy cells, as is the case with autoimmune diseases such as Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis and others, in which much of the body's organs and cell tissue deteriorate because of misdirected attack by the immune system.
Although the theory is still untested, there is anecdotal evidence and a theoretical framework that suggests ibogaine may have therapeutic benefits in the treatment of Parkinson, and possibly other disorders that cause the degeneration of brain and cell tissues.
Ibogaine therapy, especially low-dose regimens, may facilitate the expression of GDNF without the side effects of other medications or the difficulty of other avenues of administering neurotrophic factor. Anecdotal reports suggest that at least several people with Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's who have been treated with ibogaine have seen an extended remission of symptoms.

Post subject: Paris restaurants good for singles
I am traveling to Paris in early November solo. Does anyone have any recommendations for great restaurants where a single can experience great food and be comfortable? I have been twice before but this is my first time traveling alone. Thanks.

This is a tough question which is probably why you haven't had any responses yet. I am probably not going to be much help either but at least it will bump this post up to the top so you might get some more answers.
I think it is just a matter of being brave and heading in to these places on your own.
Maybe you are wanting eating establishments with English speaking staff?? That will at least be one hurdle you won't have to encounter - unless of course you speak French.

I think you can eat alone LUNCH in anyone of the big-name restaurants, without feeling uneasy- busimen/businesswomen do it. . In the evening though,- of course you can do it too-, but I presume you will feel uncomfortable. But if it has to be dinner I would choose one of the big Brasseries ( Bofinger, Julien , Gare du Nord etc)- . I did it several times, it's really OK. Bon Appetit!!

I think there was a topic on this a while ago.
Anywhere is pretty ok to dine on your own. there is no problem with it. The only thing is how comfortable you are dining on your own. Take a good book and enjoy!!
If you cannot feel your arteries hardening, eat more cheese. If you can, drink more red wine. Diet is just "die" with a "t" on the end. Exercise is walking into the kitchen.

Thanks everyone for responding. I do not have issues eating alone but I wasn't sure culturally how it would fit. I will have to look up the restaurants mentioned as I am not aware of them.

I was in Paris by myself in November last year and I went to restaurants on my own but only at lunch as I was staying with French friends so dinners were spent with Parisians. I went to Comptoir at 9 carrefour de l'Odeon, a really nice bistro by Yves Camdeborde (ancien chef at the Crillon). Also had a very good Basque lunch at L'Ami Jean on rue Malar in the 7th. The chef serves a wonderful rice pudding in the manner of his grandma. There were some nice french people at the next table who were quite friendly and we had a nice conversation. Another favorite of mine is L'Ardoise on rue du Mont Thabor in the 1st (I always visit that restaurant whenever I am in Paris).
Bon appetit and enjoy yourself in Paris. I love being there in the fall - for the chasse and the wild mushrooms, lots of chestnuts as well.

Hubby and I just got our trip confirmed and we'll be there early November. We'll be staying at the Hotel Claude Bernard Saint Germain on rue des Ecoles. I believe Erin and her husband will be spending their anniversary in Paris at about the same time as well. Woudn't it be nice if we all run into each other. Madame Shawshank would be pleased to hear about more C&Zers getting together.
As Simona would say - No more wars, more C&Zers getting together......

I have to agree with Debbie and the others - as a single Parisian woman, I feel pretty comfortable eating out alone, especially in the many brasseries and with a good book, but I can also just sit and gaze at people ...sometimes I begin to talk with tourists...it can be very enjoyable !

Hi Dana,
I'm excited for you! Paris is simply divine. I had a great time. I really had no issues eating out. Each day I started by eating at my hotel. Their breakfast was lovely, alittle pricey, but it was worth it. Then lunch I would either eat in a restaurant in a museum or some little bistro I found while exploring. My favorite was a lunch at Ciel de Paris, 33 Avenue du Maine, Montparnasse. It's 56 stories up with stunning view of Paris. My funniest moment was when I dropped a fork in a bistro one night. I didn't know the work for fork so I was wondering how I was going to get another one. Very funny. The folks sitting next to me came to my rescue and helped me learn the french word for fork. All in all I had no issues really. Oh too the restaurant in the Musee De Orsay is wonderful for lunch.
Best Wishes,

DURHAM — University of New Hampshire running back Nico SteritI and tight end Harold Spears were each feted Monday for their individual performances in the Wildcats' 44-21 victory against Georgia State on Saturday at the Georgia Dome.
Steriti, a sophomore who ran for 126 yards and scored three touchdowns, was named the CAA Offensive Player of the Week, and Spears, who set career highs with six catches for 94 yards and a TD, was tabbed the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) National Tight End Performer of the Week.
Steriti, the CAA's leading rusher (91.7 yards/game), exceeded the 100-yard rushing mark for the third time in four weeks while scoring on carries of seven yards (second quarter) and 34 yards (fourth quarter). The 5-foot-11, 200-pound running back added his first career TD catch, an eight-yard reception in the opening stanza.
Spears, a sophomore, also registered his first career TD when he hauled in a 26-yard reception on the game's opening drive. The 6-foot-4, 254-pound tight end, who entered the game with six career catches for 70 yards in 10 previous games, enjoyed a breakout performance by leading the Wildcats in both departments Saturday.
No. 12/13 UNH (4-2, 2-1 CAA) prepares to take on Richmond (4-2, 2-1) on Homecoming at Cowell Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 13, at 12 p.m. The game will be telecast live on CSN-NE. For tickets, visit www.unhwildcats.com or call (603) 862-4000, extension 5.
Tarbell receives defensive award from America East
WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Carlie Tarbell, a sophomore goalkeeper on the 20th-ranked University of New Hampshire field hockey team, was honored as America East Defensive Player of the Week on Tuesday.
Tarbell was a difference maker in UNH's 2-1 overtime victory against then-No. 22 University at Albany last Friday (Oct. 5). She made seven saves, some of them spectacular, to keep the Wildcats in the game until they tied the score, 1-1, with 20 seconds remaining in regulation. Tarbell recorded one of her best stops of the game in the extra session when she made a blocker save on Jordyn Homyak's blast targeted for the right post at 1:36 of OT.
Two days later at fifth-ranked University of Virginia, Tarbell recorded a career-high 12 saves, including eight in the second half.
In 12 games this season (all starts), Tarbell has a 6-6 record with a 2.21 GAA and .726 save percentage. She is 2-0 in America East conference games with a 1.22 GAA and .842 save percentage. Tarbell's other season highlights include nine-save efforts against then-No. 2 Syracuse University (Sept. 7), then-No. 5 UConn (Sept. 21) and Fairfield University (Sept. 28).
New Hampshire (6-6 overall, 2-0 America East) returns to action Oct. 12 against the University of Vermont. The game, which is part of UNH's Homecoming Weekend, begins at 3 p.m. at Memorial Field. The Wildcats then play at 24th-ranked Boston College on Oct. 14 (3 p.m.).

Anna Nicole Mistakes Pregnancy for Gas
Anna Nicole Smith was so whacked out of her mind in 2006 that she mistook the baby growing in her womb for a case of bad gas -- and it's all on a tape that was entered as evidence in court on Friday.
The video was shot by Howard K. Stern at a little girl's birthday party. Snippets of the video were released two years ago, but now the entire 50-minute tape is being used in the drug case against Stern and Anna's former doctors.
In this particular clip, Smith can't seem to comprehend the fact that she's pregnant -- consistently denying there's a baby in her belly ... despite the fact she's showing.
It just gets weirder from there -- check it out for yourself. Then sadly, at the end of the clip, the little girl looks straight into the camera and says, "She's having brain trouble."

A Latvian firm has been fined £50,000 ($78,400) by UK regulators in a scam that charged users £15 ($23.52) when they downloaded and ran fake versions of popular gaming apps.
The apps, which were designed to appear as legitimate games including Angry Birds Space, Cut the Rope, and Assassin's Creed, actually hid a copy of malware known as RuFraud, according to a report from ITPro. When opened, these apps sent three premium SMS messages at a cost of £5 ($7.84) each through a "shortcode" operated by A1 Agregator Limited. The SMS traffic was actively suppressed on the users' phones, so victims wouldn't notice the abuse until and unless they reviewed their cell phone bill for the month.
PhonePayPlus, which regulates premium phone numbers in the UK, says 1,391 users were charged £27,850 ($43,668.80) before the scam was detected, money which will be refunded to those affected. Google removed the apps from the service late last year, ahead of the newly issued fines.

You know you are there.
His brain doesn't do that for him.
Thus - he SEEKS sensation.
It can take easy paths like spinning objects and wringing his hands.........
or like we're going through now........
holding onto his poop.
See, that pain - it's sensation. He desperately craves sensation that you and I take for granted.
We calculate it's been at least three days - and he hasn't gone. We've put prunes and dried apricots in him three days on a row (lots of them) at the doctors advice. We took him to a new doctor to HELP us with him because we're a little overwhelmed.
Because see, he's at the point now that while he's still the master of his domain - it's causing him terrible physical pain. So he screams. Blood curdling shrieks, to be exact. Last night it was all night, and my exhausted husband sat up with him, holding him until sleep took over and then carrying his giant 45 pound body up the stairs to bed.
The boy has to go poop.
This morning I tried making the sweetest, creamiest coffee in the world and then iced it. He spit it out. The other two kids gobbled it up. One was already a coffee addict so put the eyebrows down. My mother started drinking coffee when she was like 4. They're fine.
This lack of poop is creating havoc and chaos family wide. Everyone's nerves are shot from the screaming and crying. You can't reason with him. You can't even BRIBE him - he doesn't understand "Mommy will buy you a puppy if you will poop!"
This morning he ate three more prunes and some dried apricots in addition to his breakfast.
Somethings gotta give.
Or it'll be Infinite Ease with the One Handed Squeeze I tell you what.

The Presentation
Industrial control systems (ICS), embedded systems such as weapons systems, medical devices, avionics, etc., can be characterized as logical/physical systems in which software, firmware, or hardware logic directly interfaces with and, often, controls the physical processes of the electrical or mechanical components of the systems. The physical elements of such systems often implement processes on which human physical well-being relies. Because of the potential consequences (loss of life or limb, damage to health or environment, etc.) should such systems fail, the main imperative for both the logical and physical components of these systems has traditionally been safety, which in system engineering terms is an extreme manifestation of quality and dependability. Also, because many logical/physical systems, or components thereof, have "real time" requirements, another imperative for such systems is performance. Because logical/physical systems have traditionally operated either stand-alone or have been connected only to self-contained, wholly isolated (non-Internet connected), dedicated networks, little if any attention has been paid to their security for most of their history. In the late 20th and 21st centuries, however, this isolation has gradually eroded, to the extent that a new term has been adopted for logical/physical systems that now use the Internet or another public network (e.g., the cellular telephone network) to enable communications among system elements: cyber-physical systems. Coincidental with their increasing "cyberization" has been the same trend in the engineering of such systems that has long been the norm for conventional information and communications technology (ICT) systems: the minimization of wholly proprietary, custom-built software and hardware elements and the maximization of commodity technologies and components. This shift means that many of the elements from which cyber-physical systems are built are readily available for inspection and study, so that those of their flaws and defects, weaknesses and vulnerabilities, that have not simply been published by their vendors or users have been discovered through reverse engineering and other analyses. Knowledge and understanding of the vulnerabilities in commodity technologies, combined with accessibility from the public network, means that cyber-physical systems are exposed to security threats that have long targeted more conventional information and communications technology (ICT) systems, but were unknown to previous generations of logical/physical systems. Unlike conventional ICT systems, the components of cyber-physical systems often retain the small size (both in terms of physical size and size of embedded logic) and low resource footprints, real time performance imperatives, and operational scenarios of stand-alone or isolated predecessors. These constraints often make it impossible for the operators of the systems to employ the full range of security measures and countermeasures commonly used to protect more conventional ICT systems against threats. Moreover, the safety imperative often means that blocking of inputs and shutting down of processes are simply not an option when responding to perceived hazards (threats can be characterized intentional hazards). With emergence of Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), including those crafted specifically to target cyber-physical systems (e.g., Stuxnet), as well as other less complex but invidious methods of intrusion and attack, even the operators of conventional ICT systems are finding that their traditional protect-detect-respond-recover security strategies are increasingly ineffective. Many of these organizations are recognizing that a "paradigm shift" is needed, that does not rely on trying to detect, understand, or second-guess the attacker, but instead which requires a new approach to software and system engineering. This new approach will enable the systems to survive most, if not all, attacks, including those that the attackers have yet to think up. Whether the main imperative for system is security and or safety, or an equal combination of the two, the logic and mechanical components of a cyber-physical system must remain dependable under all anomalous conditions that arise, whether those conditions are accidental or result from intentional threats. Unlike most conventional ICT systems, cyber-physical systems must continue operating at the necessary level of performance under virtually any condition, at least up to the time at which a graceful shut down can be safely accomplished (e.g., after the plane has been safely landed, or the nuclear reactor taken offline). By contrast, the operators of most conventional ICT systems have a much greater tolerance for port blocking, performance degradation, and even temporary failure. One can see this when one compares the software in a safety-critical logical/physical system, in which the proportion of explicit exception handling logic to actual operational logic is often 3:1 or 4:1, as compared with conventional ICT software, in which programmers frequently rely on throwing a general exception and hoping for the best. In this context, a few things distinguish safety-critical software from security-critical software: (1) what constitutes an "anomalous condition" and what is likely to cause such a condition, (2) what is at stake if the software fails as the result of such a condition, and how many (if any) such failures can be tolerated; (3) the measures that can be taken to avoid such failures, or to recover from them, and the acceptable latency between failure and recovery. What both safety- and security-critical software share is a need to minimize to the absolute lowest possible degree the possibility of a software failure. In short, both safety-critical and security-critical software needs to be able to survive the anomalous conditions it is faced with. Engineers of safety-critical software are very good at understanding and writing software that can deal with unintentional anomalies, but are not usually familiar with the more complex, byzantine (non-contiguous) nature of intentional anomalies. Developers of security-critical software are skilled at dealing with intentional anomalies, but not with doing so under the extreme constraints placed on safety-critical software engineers. For survivability engineered into cyber-physical systems, and into the software that makes up the majority of the logic in such systems, engineers would do well to familiarize themselves with both software safety and software security strategies, practices, and tools, and more importantly, to analyze the aspects of each that render them beneficial or impractical for adoption in cyber-physical system software engineering. The place for engineers to begin is a study of the other community's development practices and techniques that have direct counterparts in their own, e.g., Safety Engineering | Security Engineering hazard analyses | threat models safety properties| security objectives safe design principles (e.g., failure avoidance and redundancy)| secure design principles (e.g., least privilege, separation of roles) safe coding practices, standards, languages, and tools (shared by both) stochastic (accidental), simple, contiguous, directly propagating faults | non-stochastic (intentional), byzantine (non-contiguous) faults static and dynamic analysis, fault injection | same, plus fuzz testing, vulnerability scans, and penetration tests assurance cases | someday...maybe

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Devin McCourty made several costly mistakes at cornerback. At safety, the New England Patriots lost both starters to injury.
So they shifted McCourty to safety and, suddenly, the Patriots prospects at both positions look brighter.
A Pro Bowl player as a rookie in 2010, McCourty's athleticism and knowledge of the defense have made the transition easier to a position he played his first two seasons at Rutgers.
"Dev's a great athlete," safety Steve Gregory said. "He's a smart football player. He understands what we're trying to do as a defense and he has the ability to play any position in the secondary, so he's done a great job."
He wasn't doing so great at cornerback this year.
Several times he didn't turn to face the ball when a receiver went up for it. He was called for pass interference penalties — one that led to the winning field goal on the final play of a 31-30 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
But Gregory has missed the last four games with an injured hip and the other starting safety, Patrick Chung, has been sidelined two games with a shoulder injury. Both practiced on a limited basis this week and could be ready when the Patriots (5-3) play the Buffalo Bills (3-5) on Sunday.
If they're not, and maybe even if they are, McCourty would start his third straight game at safety.
He played there a bit last year and said he has no preference — "whatever they tell me to play" — but it's "cool" to get a wider view of the field playing deeper and in the middle at safety.
"It's different," he said. "You get used to seeing more of the field and I think you have more of a responsibility since you have that viewpoint to let everyone else know, because I know when you're playing corner it's not as easy to see the different things that you see on film when you're on just that side of the field. So I try to just communicate and let guys know if I see anything from film study that might happen (and) just send that alert out."
As a first-round draft choice out of Rutgers, McCourty had seven interceptions as a rookie. But he had just two last season before some poor games at cornerback this year.
The secondary seemed headed for another one when it allowed Sam Bradford's 50-yard touchdown pass to Chris Givens on the first series of the Patriots most recent game. But St. Louis didn't score again and they beat the Rams 45-7 in London two weeks ago.
McCourty spent part of the bye week in Montvale, N.J., where Superstorm Sandy knocked out power to his mother's house. He bought her a generator before the power came back on Tuesday. By that time, McCourty was back in Foxborough, preparing to play wherever coach Bill Belichick wants him.
"He's pretty good at everything," Belichick said. "He's a good tackler. He's fast. He's instinctive. He has a good feel for the game wherever you put him in terms of leverage, angles, decisions, that kind of thing. He's smart. He has the mental flexibility to go back and forth between assignments."
And he's willing to do that.
"He's a selfless player who just wants to do whatever he can to help the team win," safeties coach Brian Flores said. "He has all the traits: he communicates, he's a focused player, he's smart, he does a lot of things well. He can make that transition. A lot of guys can't. I'm happy to have him."
He's not the only one.
With three rookie draft picks starting or substituting in the secondary — safeties Tavon Wilson and Nate Ebner and cornerback Alfonzo Dennard — McCourty's settling influence is significant, especially with Gregory and Chung sidelined.
"I feel like Devin helped me out a lot," Wilson said. "He's kind of like a big brother to me back there and he keeps things calm because there's so many young guys back there."
The makeup of the secondary will change next week when Aqib Talib, acquired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, will be eligible to return after a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
"This week we've got to just focus on who's here and what we have to do to get a win," McCourty said, "and then, I think, next week when all that comes into play, it'll really help us out."
It also could mean more time at safety for McCourty once Talib gets acclimated — a process McCourty could speed up with his experience at cornerback.
"I have a good knowledge of, especially for our corners, what they're doing," he said. "So I think a little bit of that helps where I can say things and I communicate with them to let them know I'm on the same page as them."
