IT Policies
Bijan Boutiques, LLC and Bijan Boutiques Las Vegas, LLC
443 N. Rodeo Drive
Beverly Hills CA 90210
Date: March 2020
Bijan Information Technology Policies
Bijan's overall information technology ensures that reasonable security measures are taken for all client or customer data it may collect. As such, the data we hold is encrypted and we guard that information from unauthorized use or dissemination.
Topics for security awareness training.
Content/ Asset Security and Handling:
All servers and server shares are password protected and firewalled. Every user that accesses data has a unique and individual user credentials. Server share permissions are controlled with group policy and on a method of least access granted. All data is stored centrally and managed. Data backups are performed nightly and monitored remotely.
Data that is to be transferred or delivered is encrypted with either TLS encryption or is delivered via physical encrypted media. No FTP or other unencrypted technology is used. Pass keys are never sent along with the drive and will be emailed or texted to a trusted party once confirmation of the physical devices has been reported successfully. All physical media used to deliver files is logged and tracked.
In the event of a lost or stolen drive, password, or asset the escalation matrix is to be followed and acted on immediately. All parties should be notified and assessment of the breach should also follow with a post mortem assessment to avoid similar situations in the future.
General IT Security and Acceptable Use
All policies are set to match the best practices outlined by the best practices documentation available as of January 2019. These include but are not limited to Firewalls, Servers, Workstations, Data Encryption, Virus Software, Wireless Systems, etc.
Workstation Security (user info):
All workstations are password protected and in a physically accessed controlled area. Users are given an unprivileged account to work on. User accounts cannot install software and or change configurations. This password is never to be handed out, shared, or posted on a publicly viewable 'sticky note'.
Password and Account Policy:
Complexity rules are enforced to 8 characters, with at least one upper, lower, number, and special character.
Any accounts or user will be disabled upon closure of work hired for. In events this was not accounted for old accounts will be disabled when noticed or at regular intervals during routine maintenance every 60 days.
External account passwords will be changed every 6 months and 2 factor authentication will be activated where possible.
Social Engineering Prevention
We explain to our clients that there are literally thousands of variations to social engineering attacks. The only limit to the number of ways they can socially engineer users through this kind of exploit is the criminal's imagination.
Slow down. Spammers want you to act first and think later. If the message conveys a sense of urgency, or uses high-pressure sales tactics be skeptical; never let their urgency influence your careful review.
Research the facts. Be suspicious of any unsolicited messages. If the email looks like it is from a company you use, do your own research. Use a search engine to go to the real company's site, or a phone directory to find their phone number.
Delete any request for financial information or passwords. If you get asked to reply to a message with personal information, it's a scam.
Reject requests for help or offers of help. Legitimate companies and organizations do not contact you to provide help. If you did not specifically request assistance from the sender, consider any offer to 'help' restore credit scores, refinance a home, answer your question, etc., a scam. Similarly, if you receive a request for help from a charity or organization that you do not have a relationship with, delete it. To give, seek out reputable charitable organizations on your own to avoid falling for a scam.
Don't let a link be in control of where you land. Stay in control by finding the website yourself using a search engine to be sure you land where you intend to land. Hovering over links in email will show the actual URL at the bottom, but a good fake can still steer you wrong.
Curiosity leads to careless clicking. If you don't know what the email is about, clicking links is a poor choice. Similarly, never use phone numbers from the email; it is easy for a scammer to pretend you're talking to a bank teller.
Email hijacking is rampant. Hackers, spammers, and social engineers taking over control of people's email accounts (and other communication accounts) has become rampant. Once they control someone's email account they prey on the trust of all the person's contacts. Even when the sender appears to be someone you know, if you aren't expecting an email with a link or attachment check with your friend before opening links or downloading.
Beware of any download. If you don't know the sender personally AND expect a file from them, downloading anything is a mistake.
Foreign offers are fake. If you receive email from a foreign lottery or sweepstakes, money from an unknown relative, or requests to transfer funds from a foreign country for a share of the money it is guaranteed to be a scam.
Set your spam filters to high. Every email program has spam filters. To find yours, look under your settings options, and set these high–just remember to check your spam folder periodically to see if legitimate email has been accidentally trapped there. You can also search for a step-by-step guide to setting your spam filters by searching on the name of your email provider plus the phrase 'spam filters.'
Secure your computing devices. Install anti-virus software, firewalls, email filters and keep these up-to-date. Set your operating system to automatically update, and if your smartphone doesn't automatically update, manually update it whenever you receive a notice to do so. Use an anti-phishing tool offered by your web browser or third party to alert you to risks.
Asset Disposal
Asset Disposal exists in response to a number of considerations in replacing business equipment, disposal will be handled on a case by case basis, with extreme prejudice to total destruction of company data, with best practices for environmental concerns.
Data security best practice means storage devices must be securely wiped and/or completely destroyed and disposed of in separated (impossible to reassemble) fashion. Proper disposal of ecologically-sensitive materials must be done properly or the business may face fines.

I am oddly compelled to share this culinary discovery, having read on Neil's blog that he is an enthusiast with regards to Things Eaten.
Roast Cornish Hen
(Possibly known as poullet in England)
One good-sized hen will feed two nibblish people, or a single hungry one.
Procure one or more nice cornish hens. Organic, or free range. Here in Canada, a pair of them can be had for $10 Cdn, so this is a meal unlikely to break the bank.
Rub the little cluckers down with olive oil. This is about as unpleasant as it sounds. Then further rub them down in grated sea salt and cracked pepper.
Quarter a lemon lengthwise. Loosely stuff each hen with a lemon spear and fresh herbs. I prefer rosemary, but thyme or bay is also nice.
Lay the birds upside down in a roasting pan.
Boil and peel new potatoes and other roots as desired, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with herbs as well.
Roast for about 25 minutes at ~400f, then turn the birds and roast another 20-25 minutes. Finally, raise the heat to 450f for 10-15 to brown them nicely.
Now that my compulsion to share this is satisfied, I shall retreat into the background once more.

One of Mountain View's most accomplished residents died last week in his Mountain View home surrounded by his family. Former mayor Victor Calvo was 86.
Calvo was selected as mayor of Mountain View three times during the 1960s and went on to be a county supervisor, a state Assembly member and state public utilities commissioner, finally retiring from political life in 1989.
Services will be held Oct. 18 at 1 p.m. at the Rengstorff House at Shoreline Park in Mountain View.
Calvo spent his whole life living in Mountain View, where he grew up on a ranch at the corner of San Antonio Road and El Camino Real that was owned by his parents, who were immigrants from Spain.
Many of his colleagues remember him as an environmentalist before his time and an unflinching advocate for his less powerful constituents in both Mountain View and Sacramento.
"His work in Mountain View was the thing he was most proud of," said former City Manager John O'Halloran, who remained close friends with Calvo after working with him throughout the 1960s on such projects as the creation of Shoreline Park, Rengstorff Park and Cuesta Park.
All of the parks had to be paid for by voter-approved bonds, which required a two-thirds yes vote to pass. O'Halloran said Calvo was instrumental in getting those bonds approved.
Even in his final days he was helping the city deal with the problematic geese and coots at Shoreline Park's golf course, where he loved to golf, said City Manager Kevin Duggan. Some of his proposals for dealing with the birds were acted on by the City Council.
Calvo was "well respected" while on the 1960s City Council, as a lifelong resident and an expert on any matter he chose to study, O'Halloran said.
"Once he got on a commission or something he really studied or understood it," O'Halloran said. When he chaired the board for what is now known as the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, "he knew the air pollution control technicalities better than almost anybody I knew and he was only on it for a month."
Early accomplishments
Calvo was valedictorian of his class at Mountain View High School in 1942, the same year he volunteered for the United States Army, later flying 25 bombing missions over Europe with the Army Air Force during World War II. After the war he earned a degree in political science from Stanford University.
He was married to his wife of 62 years, Nellie Calvo, in 1948. They had five children. He owned and operated the De Anza lumber yard in Cupertino from 1959 to 1985.
Calvo started his political career in 1957 by joining the city's new Environmental Planning Commission, the first commission of its kind in the region, O'Halloran said. Home construction was booming and Fairchild Semiconductor was one of the city's largest employers as Silicon Valley was being born. It was the first time aesthetics of development were discussed by a city commission. The word "environmental" was included in the commission's title so that the commission could weigh in on almost anything, even a parking lot, O'Halloran said.
Calvo left the commission when he was elected to the City Council in 1961. And in a fashion unique to the time and to Calvo, he was selected by his fellow council members to be mayor three times before he termed out in 1968.
He was a staunch advocate for the creation of Shoreline Park, which pitted him against his fellow environmentalists and bird lovers, as he was a member of the Audubon Society, O'Halloran said. He reconciled that conflict with a belief that the city was protecting the area from development even though some of the original marshland had to be destroyed to make way for the Shoreline Lake and the contours of today's park, made with landfill.
"There was nothing to stop it from developing," O'Halloran said of the Shoreline area, which was eyed by housing developers. "That preserved a lot of that land."
Calvo left the council in 1968 after being elected to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors, where he served until being elected to the state Assembly in 1974.
When Calvo's closest colleagues and friends were asked for comment, many mentioned his advocacy for the state's wetlands, forests and greenbelts, and his unwillingness to bend to the influence of special interests.
"He was a straight arrow in a sea of ego and ambition, with the temptations of power nearby," said John White, who served as a consultant to the Assembly on air quality and alternative energy. "He was low key and quiet, but razor sharp and tough as nails when facing a tough decision. He was an environmentalist before the word came into use."
Calvo was recognized in 1979 as "Elected Environmental Legislator of the Year" by the California Planning and Conservation League. As chair of the Assembly Committee on Resources, Land Use and Energy he blocked pieces of legislation that would have hurt the California Environmental Quality Act, the California Coastal Act and air quality laws.
After establishing himself as an environmental expert he left the Assembly in 1980, selected by then-Gov. Jerry Brown to serve on the California Public Utilities Commission, which Calvo called "a very difficult job that requires full dedication." Among his accomplishments was initiating the removal of 100-car freight trains that backed up mid-day auto traffic in San Jose as they lumbered from Oakland to Los Angeles at 10 miles per hour. The trains were allowed to run at night instead.
Republican Governor George Deukmejian replaced Calvo with a republican in 1986, and Calvo joined the California Coastal Commission in 1987, where he continued his environmental advocacy before retiring from politics in 1989.
Calvo suffered from prostate cancer before he passed away, said his granddaughter, Alyssa Crittenden in an email. She also forwarded comments from his wife of 62 years, Nellie Catherine Quintero-Calvo:
"If I had to pick one word to describe my husband I would pick earnest. He was earnest in everything he did from his actions to his speech; everything he did was done with a deep sense of intention and sincerity. He was kind and gentle and a wonderful life partner. He had a deep affection for family and friends and a tremendous sense of humor. He will be greatly missed."

In addition, we [the U. S. FedGov] need to think about what taxes to raise, whether we sell land, whether we acquire nation-states or territories (Africa states? Siberian land?), whether we merge with Canada to form a more robust (and energy independent) mega-nation. These are the big issues of US restructuring. And they are all on the table. Except they are not.[Emphasis mine] Maybe it's supposed to be humor? Or did I miss the merge/expansion talks?

He has either made an extremely poor attempt at humor, or he's very, very high. I can't imagine it any other way.

Maybe he got halfway through "Heart of Darkness" and then had to return it to the library before he could finish.
Or maybe he's just really freakin' high.

Merger with Canada?
Sorry idjit,that's just not on.
We're like, you know, an independent country and prefer it that way.
Besides, we enough problems of our own already-don't need to import more.
If this guy wants to "merge" with someone for their energy, try the mid-East.
"Manifest Destiny" as a policy option for the U.S. died a discredited death sometime before 1900...but the breathtaking arrogance which fuelled it clearly remains alive in at least one dark corner south of the 49th parallel.

John, I totally agree with not merging; both side of the border have their own unique stuff to worry about. OTOH, "Manifest destiny? An' wot, your lot never massacreed anybody for King and Country?
...Some names spring to mind... Ever hear of "Metis?" OTOOH, we are not our ancestors; guilt is not inheritable.

The really funny part here is that, if this guy got his merger with Canada, the number of newly- enfranchised Democrat voters would match those of California, while the new Republicans could hold their conventions in a telephone booth.
Don't quite think he thought that part through. Maybe he planned a second, non-voting class of citizenry.
Just for a giggle, you should know that both of my children have what used to be called "Indian Status" cards, and my brother-in-law is a professor specializing in Canadian "Aboriginal studies".
Stuff like that happens when you marry an "Indian girl" :-)
Besides, all we really did was create the RCMP and send them westward, just didn't canonize the process with a fancy capitalized name :-)
Didn't need to, being bashful Canucks. Mounties always get their...man? territory? whatever.

"acquire nation-states or territories (Africa states? Siberian land?), whether we merge with Canada to form a more robust (and energy independent) mega-nation."
Ah! We need more 'living space.' Go ahead Mr. Ellis, I'll wait while you look it up.
Not high ... brain dead.

While I wouldn't support it, I have no problems "merging" with Canada, Mexico ... or Japan for that matter. In fact there is already a legal process in place to form a North American Union (or World Government, for that matter).
Let them apply for statehood and abide by the US Constitution (it'd be nice if somebody did) and our current system of government.
The other legal way to do it would be to hold a Constitutional Convention and scrap the current system.
Any alternative method is sedition and treason against the US of A.

My first impression of this Ellis guy, John Peddie, was that he WAS a Democrat. It takes some kind of hopped up collectivist to entertain thought as these.
It looks like my initial impression/first read, may have been mistaken and he's just an insane power hungry loon. A caricature, at best.

Whew ... the entire original article is some piece of work. Having said that, though, I do recall someone mentioning that Haiti needed to be taken over by an industrialized (Western) nation. Canada was suggested as we've clearly demonstrated our inability to do anything consequential. (Erm ... does that mean we're harmless?)
There are many pluses to an economic union between Canada and the US ... but none of them are consequential (there's that word again) without a political union ... and such a union wouldn't fly here ... nor do I think it would in the US either.
I'd move to the US, of course, except for our free health care. (Do you hear some maniacal laughing at the use of 'free' and 'health care' in the same sentence?)
I do worry about my friends to the south of the world's longest continuous border. While we can't absorb you all, you can consider it. (For purposes of the 'undefended' portion of the border, consider the Canadian/American reserve at Cornwall, Ontario.)
Lastly, I do hope that the realities of the incompetence and immorality of the current version of the RCMP will penetrate the universal consciousness. Never have their practices and law keeping been as abysmal as right now. Any other law enforcement organization would have been wound up. The RCMP has nothing to do with the law, with enforcement or with being organized.
It is a disgrace and an embarrassment to Canadians.

"The point being that "fixing" presidencies follows a time-honored script..."
Yes, and it usually is accompanied by shooting, ropes, trees or Guillotines.
There are procedures for fixing national leadership when it goes bad. Think the three boxes---soap box, ballot box, cartridge box.

George, John -- I try to stay out of Canadian politics for two simple reasons; first and foremost, I'm not Canadian; second, dammit, what most people in both nations (way more in mine than yours, I suspect) keep missin' is, we have radically different forms of government. Trying to suss the one out from a lifelong immersion in the other is a prescription for failure.
George: I'm sorry to hear the Mounties are not living up to their press. :( One can always press for improvement.
As for Canada running Haiti: why not? Not because the county is ineffectual but because Canadians are -- even the ones with whom I disagree on nearly everything -- a decent and honest bunch and agitprop accusations of exploitation are unlikely to be taken seriously.
Finally, on political parties after a hypothetical merger, I think a lot of .ca folk would find many of our Democrats too conservative and both of the main U.S. parties simply too askew from their issues and concerns; many would stick to their old parties; and that could make things interesting.
...I'm agin' Union but we (and in this case, mostly my side) otta work on openin' up that border to private individuals. I'm going to get yelled at by the Security-uber-alles gang but it seems plain silly to fuss much. Canada and the States are very different; but we're siblings nonetheless.
- February 15, 2010 at 8:48 PM
Haiti: France made that mess, they can clean it up.
- February 16, 2010 at 12:14 AM
Roberta, as usual, has the wisest word.
Let's stick to friends, neighbours, trading partners and visiting back and forth. That approach has worked well for a long, long time.

CHICAGO (CBS) — The pesticide DDT is still killing robins 50 years after Rachel Carson started the environmental movement with DDT warnings in her book: "Silent Spring."
Back in September 1962, Carson wrote that robin populations were rapidly dwindling because the birds were eating worms laced with DDT–sprayed to control Dutch Elm disease.
And just this year, 50 years later, Terri Kniffen found several robins dead in her yard in Saint Louis, poisoned by DDT from an abandoned Velsicol chemical plant site.
The site has been designated for Superfund Cleanup but work won't begin for another year or two.
Federal Fish and Wildlife Contaminant Specialist Lisa Williams says the 1972 DDT ban has resulted remarkable comebacks for bald eagles, ospreys and brown pelicans.
But she says DDT has a half-life of 15 to 30 years and still remains dangerous to wildlife feeding in high concentrations.
Williams says just because DDT and other older contaminants have been banned doesn't mean the job is done preserving the environment.
She says there are still concerns about newer contaminants like pharmaceuticals which wash right through water treatment plants into the environment where their long-term impact remains unknown.

Direction wind is one of the first steps in setting up springs – after all, every spring is either wound to the right or left. But what's the difference, and does it really matter?
The short answer is yes, it absolutely matters. While the direction of the wind won't change the price of a spring, it can impact the overall functionality. Therefore, it's sometimes important to specify the wind direction instead of leaving it up to the operator's discretion.
Right Hand Wound (RHW) vs Left Hand Wound (LHW): Why It Matters
Compression Springs: If you are screwing a compression spring onto a mating part, you would want the coil direction to match that of the threads. Sometimes, though, you wouldn't want the pitch of the spring to get caught up in the pitch of the threaded mating part. An example would be a spring working over a threaded bolt. In this case you would want an opposite coil/thread relationship.
Torsion Springs: When deflected, the torsion legs should always move inward towards each other thus tightening up the coil diameter, making it smaller. Make sure the wind of the torque spring you're trying to apply reflects this.
Extension Springs: Coil direction can be important for extension springs if the coils are screwing onto a mating part. In this case you would want the coil direction to match that of the threads. Typically, this would be right hand wound (RHW). A change in coil direction can also help if you are trying to locate hook gaps in a certain position.
RWH vs LHW: Determining Which is Which
While you typically don't want to be staring down barrels, as old sayings go, the direction wind of a coil can be determined by looking down into the barrel of the spring. Position the spring's cutoff so that it is pointing away from you (see below).
If the cutoff/torsion end is on the left hand side of the spring (9 o'clock position), then the spring is LHW. Alternatively, if the cutoff/torsion end is on the right hand side of the spring (3 o'clock position), then the spring is RHW.

I was at a conference last Friday and Saturday to present a paper for the first time in five years, an opportunity to connect with old friends and colleagues while being reminded of why I really don't like academic conferences (a blog post about that coming soon). The conference was held in a room that clearly had once been a chapel, containing a huge, round stained glass window on the front wall.
From a distance I could not figure out the theme of the window–its central figure was a young man in full medieval armor, so I figured it was probably St. George without the dragon. Upon closer inspection, I read the text on the banner underneath the soldier: "Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." "Oh my God!" I thought as I returned in memory to my childhood–"that's Christian from Pilgrim's Progress!"
As I followed the various scenes around Christian clockwise around the window starting at the bottom, I observed Christian's struggle against various tempters and opponents on his journey from despair to heaven. This book, with beautiful illustrations, was a staple of my childhood home, ranking in my mind equally with the omnipresent picture Bible. My mother read it with me frequently–I'm pretty sure I hadn't thought of it in forty years. But it came flooding back to me as the conference began–Pilgrim's Progress introduced my at a very early age, more effectively than anything in scripture, to the most basic human questions that have obsessed me my whole life. Where do I come from? Where am I going? And, most pressingly, how do I get there?
In my all-time favorite movie, Dead Poet's Society, Mr. Keating teaches an important lesson about non-conformity to his students with a brief experiment. Bringing his young charges out of the classroom into a nearby courtyard, Keating directs three of the students to start walking around the perimeter. Although they start off at a different pace, soon all three are marching in lock step, with Keating singing an impromptu Marine-style tune and the other students clapping in accompaniment. Keating's point is about conformity. Given the opportunity to walk uniquely and independently, the boys choose instead to fall into step with each other. Keating then evokes Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken " to introduce the alternative of individual risk and choice.
In another of my favorite movies, Young Frankenstein, director Mel Brooks inserts a hilarious version of a visual joke that's older than the hills. After entering the Transylvanian castle where he is employed, Igor, played by Marty Feldman, says "walk this way" to Gene Wilder's Dr. Frankenstein, then sets off with a cane-assisted gait, dragging his lame leg and hunchbacked self down the stairs. Frankenstein follows him down the stairs with precisely the same limping and awkward gait, until after a few steps Igor turns around and says, "No, I mean follow me!"
The right way to walk, the best road to take, is on my mind a regularly as a teacher and just a normal human being. I frequently have the opportunity to introduce freshman students to Rene Descartes, one of the most—arguably the most—influential philosophers in the Western tradition. I wrote my dissertation on Descartes twenty-five years ago and was told by my director that, at that time at least, more secondary literature had been written on Descartes than any other Western philosopher, including Plato and Aristotle. After his education was finished, Descartes in his early twenties decided to see the world. As many young men of his time, he chose to do this by signing up as a mercenary soldier for a local political power-broker, in Descartes' case the Duke of Bavaria. One night while on campaign in the winter of 1619, Rene sought refuge and warmth in a small, stove-heated room. That night he had three dreams or visions that changed his life. In the third dream, he opened a book of poetry and read the following line from the Roman poet Ausonias: Quod vitae sectabor iter? What path in life should I follow? Descartes' self-interpretation of this dream produced his lifelong project—the unification of science and, ultimately, all knowledge on a foundation of unshakeable certainty. What path in life should I follow?
It is a great question, perhaps the best question, to get nineteen-year-old freshmen to consider. Strangely enough, I have found over the past few years that it is an equally important question for a now fifty-nine year old guy to ask. In many ways my professional path has been clear from the moment I chose in my early thirties to major in philosophy in graduate school and do my PhD at a Catholic university (to the dismay of my professors and mentors in my Master's program at a secular state university). Twenty-five years later I have achieved some success as an academic scholar, great satisfaction in the classroom on a daily basis, and have never regretted walking down this particular academic professor path. But I've learned more and more over the past few years that there are many paths more important than the professional one. By defining myself for years by what I do, I found it very easy to forget about figuring out who I am. As Christian found out in Pilgrim's Progress, the path to wholeness and integrity as a human being is fraught with far more pitfalls and dangers than any path to professional success. The prophet Micah tells us that all God wants is for us to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with our God. But what is the nature of this walk? What paths am I to take? These questions have become more and more pressing.
Yesterday was "Good Shepherd Sunday" with sheep/shepherd readings from both the Gospels and the Psalms. Psalm 23 is all about paths. We are told that the Lord our shepherd leads us in paths of righteousness and even is with us in our darkest hours, as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. Such a familiar text, however, can breed, if not contempt, at least complacency. Shepherds and sheep evoke a pastoral and peaceful image, but very few of us have any knowledge of what the daily lives of shepherds and sheep are like. I got a peek into this life once over twenty years ago while we were living in Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a city of festivals, with every ethnic group imaginable getting its own weekend and festival. During a celebration of all things Scottish, Jeanne and I were with the boys at one of the many large parks that Milwaukee has to offer for Scottish Fest. The weather was appropriate, drizzly and foggy with bone-chilling dampness.
One of the events that day was a demonstration of sheep herding. Upon being let out of the penned enclosure in which they were being held, a flock of forty or fifty sheep immediately scattered to the four winds, running into the surrounding residential neighborhood faster than I ever imagined sheep could move their fat, wool-laden selves. The shepherd remained standing in the now-sheepless park, with two small border collies at his side, as residents of the surrounding streets wondered where the hell the sheep in their back yards came from. Then at a signal from the shepherd, the border collies leaped into action. After they disappeared into the neighborhood like lightning bolts, we could hear the dogs occasionally barking in the distance. Within a few minutes, sheep started appearing from various directions, with the border collies running manically back and forth behind them, nipping at their heels and talking trash as only a dog can. Before long, all of the sheep were back in the pen and the border collies returned to the shepherd's side. He bowed in acknowledgement of our applause, even though his four-legged buddies had done all of the work.
As a youngster I always bristled at the frequent Biblical comparison of human beings to sheep, because I knew (or had read at least) that sheep were both smelly and stupid. I appreciated our rector pointing out yesterday that in ancient times, sheep were highly regarded sources of milk, wool and companionship, only becoming mutton once they became too old to provide any of the other stuff. I still resist the analogy, though, and believe that there are many more fruitful paths available to me than to a sheep. But it is comforting to know that there is divine companionship and guidance on whatever path I find myself on, as well as to know that if I listen, all of those paths lead home to God.
Two years ago, a couple of weeks after the end of the semester, I headed for the Benedictine New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, California for a week of silence, meditation, centering, writing, and sampling of monk-made fruit cake (their specialty, apparently). I heard about the place from an Episcopal priest I met the year before at a "Wisdom school workshop." His parish is in the California wine country; someday I hope to have a chance to connect with him. Strange where unexpected paths might show up—"Yea though I walk through the valley of Napa . . ." My week at the hermitage was perhaps the most fruitful week of writing I have ever experienced. I may not be a sheep, but I'm happy to take whatever guidance that happens to come my way.

CLEVELAND – On the final day of the regular season, the University of Chicago baseball team dropped both games of a doubleheader at Case Western Reserve University on Sunday. The Maroons (26-13 record) put themselves in position to win the first contest before suffering a 7-6 loss and could not dig their way out of an early hole in the second, eventually falling 11-4.
Senior rightfielder Maximiliano Larsen provided the offensive firepower and closed his career with a bang. He batted 5-for-8 on the day, driving in four runs and scoring three. Larsen, the program's all-time leader in doubles, smashed five more to push his career total to 60.
UChicago's 26 wins tied the school record for victories in a season.
Game One – CWRU 7, UChicago 6
Sophomore Jacob Petersen started the first game for the Maroons, allowing four runs on seven hits in 4.2 innings. Junior righthander Ravi Bakhai tossed 3.1 innings in relief, allowing just one hit and one unearned run. First-year David Clarke came on to close out the ninth. He struck out two but allowed two runs, suffering the loss.
The day started off well for the visitors as two runs crossed in the top of the first inning. Junior centerfielder Connor Hickey reached on a leadoff walk, allowing Larsen to drive him in with an RBI double. Junior leftfielder Josh Parks then knocked a double down the right field line to score Larsen.
UChicago padded its lead in the next inning after the leadoff hitter again reached first, this time as first-year second baseman James Kelly was hit by a pitch. A single from sophomore third baseman Drew Ventrelle moved Kelly to third, allowing him to score on a grounder from first-year shortstop Brian Lyle. After Ventrelle advanced to third on a wild pitch, Larsen brought him home with another double. The Maroons found themselves up 4-0 after two frames.
Case Western Reserve trimmed the lead in the bottom of the third. The Spartans loaded the bases twice but Petersen held them to three runs, keeping UChicago out in front by a one-run margin.
The Maroons responded right away, with Lyle reaching base on an error and Hickey rapping a single. That set the table for Larsen, whose third double in as many times at the plate drove both men in to extend the lead to 6-3.
As the UChicago bats quieted down, the Spartans crept back into the game, notching runs in the fifth and eight innings.
Clarke, the Maroons' single-season saves leader, entered in the bottom of the ninth with his team holding a 6-5 advantage. He struck out the leadoff man, but the ball escaped and the hitter reached first. CWRU bunted the runner over, then Clarke struck out a second batter for the first out. A single followed, tying the contest at six runs apiece. After a successful steal put the winning run in scoring position, the Spartans knocked a two-strike double into left center for the walk-off victory.
UChicago tallied eight hits and one error. Larsen was 3-for-5 with four RBI.
Game Two – CWRU 11, UChicago 4
Coming off a tough loss, the Maroons had no respite as Case Western Reserve jumped on the visitors in the first inning for six runs off of five hits, an error and a wild pitch. First-year starting pitcher Chandler Yu recorded one out before classmate Zach Morochnik came on to relieve him.
UChicago began to work its way back into the game in the fourth. Hickey once again got things going with a leadoff walk, and yet another double from Larsen moved him over to third. With two men in scoring position, junior catcher Ian Bohn came through with a single that cut the deficit to 6-2.
The Spartans got those runs back in the fifth, then added one more in the seventh and two more in the eighth.
UChicago, trailing 11-2, fought to assemble one last effort in the final inning. Larsen, the first man up, walked on seven pitches. Senior Matt Slodzinski, pinch hitting, singled after fouling off three pitches to extend his at-bat. Parks worked his way out of a 0-2 hole to bring the count full, fouled off three pitches, then walked to load the bases. A sacrifice fly from junior first baseman Brady Sarkon brought one in before sophomore designated hitter Payton Jancsy doubled, scoring Slodzinski. That would be all the offense the Maroons could muster, and the final tally sat 11-4 in favor of the hosts.
Morochnik conceded one unearned run and three hits in 3.2 innings. Sophomore Patrick Murphy, sophomore Patrick Rogers and junior Joe Liberman each contributed an inning of relief. Senior Ricardo Fernandez took the mound for the final frame.
The Maroons once again posted eight hits and one error. Larsen hit 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles.

It's incredible this bear got into this position at all instead of falling 50 feet to the rocks below. This is the very scenic Rainbow Bridge in Donner Pass outside Truckee in North Lake Tahoe. It was walking along the bridge when a car spooked over the railing, which overhangs the concrete arch it from which it's hanging.
Authorities arrived late in the day and had to wait till next morning to string a net, tranquilize the bear, and lower it to the ground.

First rot, then bones and rags of skin, then dust.
And never dream of ways you can escape
or spend eternity in your own shape.
The lords of Thebes and Memphis put their trust
in spices, bandages, the cunning knife
that takes out brains and eyes. They lay in death
two thousand years, but that's only a breath
by what they hoped for, hoped to live past life.
Some lordling poxed to deliquescent rot
takes their ground flesh as snuff, inhales it slow
and up his crumbling nostrils it will go
and all they were will trickle out as snot.
We pass to nothing. Then we blow away.
Our eighty years one with the fly's one day.

One of the goals on my 101 in 1001 list was to write a letter to myself that was to be opened when I turn 25. After much deliberation on my end, I thought that it would be fun to share this letter with all of you. If you're not into more personal posts, never fear, there's a recipe coming your way on Monday for some seriously tasty salsa. Without further ado, here are the
semi-wise words I'd like to tell myself at 25.
Dear Kristine,
You're 25. An entire quarter of a century, woah. I know that you feel old, but that's because you are old (at least in relation to being five or thirteen or twenty-one). It's okay to feel like you have no idea what the hell is going on – who ever knows what the hell is going on?
Currently, at twenty-one, I've never felt more confused. I'm not satisfied with my college major, but it seems to be the one that "fits" best. It seems like the more people I talk to within my major, the more I feel like I'm an alien. At first I thought I could do it, yaknow? I could smile the cheesy smile, say the right things and nod along at what others said, but the truth is, I don't care. Then for a while, I felt like event planning was my calling. I was always busy and had something new to think about. But the stress is something I'm not sure I can handle. Then there are kids. How long have you thought about, spoke about or dreamed about working with kids? I hope that you are closer to finding the thing you love doing and find some way to make it work. Life is too short.
What do I/we look like at 25? Did we have those extra teeth finally removed? Do we wear contacts now or are reading glasses still good enough? Have we developed a liking for red wine yet? Or are we still strictly white wine gals? Where did you go on your last vacation? Did Miley and Liam ever get married? Are they still married?
But seriously, I hope you're happy doing whatever you're doing and just living life. I know we're cautious and more reserved than we were in high school, but I hope you're owning that. It's not a crime to be careful with what you say to whomever you're speaking to – it's practical. It's not a crime to celebrate little victories, it's encouraged. Finally, it's not a crime to love something if other people don't see eye to eye. The beauty of being alive in the 21st century is knowing that so many things have the potential to make someone happy and rarely are those things the same for different people. Own whatever it is that makes you happy. Own whatever song it is that makes you smile even after hearing it for the millionth time. Own whatever food you will always have room for in your belly. Life is too short to live any other way.
Love you now and always,

It sounds amazing, but it the not-too-distant future, we may be able to replace a torn meniscus cartilage in the knee with a personalized implant made with a 3-D printer. A torn meniscus is one of the most common knee injuries, affecting millions of Americans each year.
The meniscus is the wedge-shaped cartilage between the shin and thigh bones that cushions and protects the joint. If it tears and needs to be removed, either partially or completely, the knee loses that cushioning and becomes more prone to developing arthritis.
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery and Columbia University Medical Center are working on replicating the knee's protective cartilage using a personalized implant made with a 3-D printer. Three-D printing is a process that makes three-dimensional solid objects from a digital file. The 3D-printed object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is formed.
The goal is to make an exact replica of a patient's meniscus with a perfect fit to provide an effective and long-lasting repair, lowering the risk of arthritis.
We are working with researchers at Columbia University Medical Center, who have created a 3-D printed implant, or scaffold, which is infused with human growth factors that should prompt the body to regenerate the meniscus on its own.
The process begins with MRI scans of the meniscus in the uninjured knee. The scans are then converted into a 3-D image and put into the 3-D printer, which produces a scaffold in the exact shape of the meniscus. It takes about 30 minutes to print.
The scaffold is made of a biodegradable polymer that is also used to make surgical sutures. It is infused with two human proteins that attract stem cells from the body and induce them to form meniscal tissue. The personalized meniscus scaffolds could potentially be completed within a matter of days.
Once the scaffold is inserted into the knee, meniscus tissue regenerates over the next several months. The scaffold later dissolves and is eliminated by the body, and the new meniscus remains.
This research, although preliminary, represents an innovative approach to meniscus regeneration and could potentially be applicable to the many thousands of patients who undergo meniscus removal each year.
The research study was recently published in the online edition of Science Translational Medicine, and clinical trials could be a couple of years away.
Dr. Scott Rodeo is an orthopedic surgeon and the co-chief emeritus of the Sports Medicine and Shoulder Service at Hospital for Special Surgery. He specializes in sports medicine injuries of the knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow. Dr. Rodeo is associate team physician for the New York Giants and has taken care of the team through three Super Bowl appearances.

Telephone numbers in Puerto Rico
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Telephone numbers in Puerto Rico are assigned under the North American Numbering Plan (NANP).
Prior to March 1, 1996, Puerto Rico was one of many Caribbean islands served by area code 809. On that date Puerto Rico was assigned the new area code 787 (with the mnemonic PUR or PTR). Permissive dialing of 809 ended January 31, 1997.
As elsewhere in the NANP region, increasing use of modems and mobile telephones strained the supply of seven-digit numbers within area 787, and an overlay plan came into effect in or about September 2001. Puerto Rico now has two area codes, 787 and 939. The new code is used mostly for wireless phones.
Because of the overlay, the area code must be dialed for all calls.
In popular culture[edit]
- In The Simpsons episode "A Tale of Two Springfields" which first aired on November 5, 2000, 939 is one of two area codes (the other being 636) assigned to the fictional town of Springfield.[1]
- In the sixth season of America's Best Dance Crew, a crew from Puerto Rico is named the 787 Crew. They later appeared on Season 7 of America's Got Talent.
- The 787 area code was mentioned in the theme music of the Latin American Xchange stable in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
