Think Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby when setting event tables in the coming year.
Here's what the event pros are saying about 2013's overall table trends and influences:
Paras Mehta, Paras Events
• Pattern wise, mix it up for must-have looks in everything from linens to dishware.
• Antique, distressed finishes and furnishings inspired by Old World tradition, craftsmanship and styling; Depression-era influences.
• Emerald, Pantone #17-5641 may be the colour of the year, but also popular are metallics in gold, antique brass, and bronze, heritage-inspired hues, greyed-down tones, and, for weddings, pale and pastel colour stories.
• Unique foliage becomes the dominant feature in florals and centrepieces; think art installations rather than traditional arrangements.
• Look for linens in high-contrast patterns, updated, traditional botanical prints, faux burlap, hemstitch details, lace and sequined embellishment.
Leesa Mitchell, Events In Bloom
• Tall centrepieces are still relevant, but low, wide-set arrangements are on trend.
• Position arrangements as a long garland down the centre of tables, lush and English Garden-inspired.
• Footed planters and low bowls are paired with garden roses, seasonal florals, delicate filler flowers and a variety of beautiful greenery for a fresh garden-like look.
• The trend to collections of multi vases on communal and round tables is stronger than ever with flea markets and antique sales a source for vintage bud vases and interesting jars to fill with single blooms for soft but dynamic centre table attractions.
• Emerald, Pantone's colour of the year, opens the door to shades of green, from mint and sage accenting wedding florals to turquoise and deep greens creating drama at corporate events.
Susan Murray, Susan Murray International
• Tables at large-scale events are moving away from matched sameness to a series of design vignettes created by dressing tables in different fabrics, patterns and styles that complement each other.
• Vintage-inspired table settings are more regally sophisticated rather than the recent shabby-chic finds from grandma's china cabinet.
• Heritage collections are au courant with gilt-edged glassware and dishes, fabrics with shiny threads, and Old World metals in silver and gold.
• Incorporate sparkle whether it's the sheen of metallic charger plates, the gleam of cut-crystal glassware or the glitter of Swarovski accents.
• Graphic patterned linens are big, especially chevron prints. Sequined tracings on monochromatic linen patterns add sparkle such as silver on grey.
• Emerald green is definitely the "it" colour, but for corporate events it will appear as the accent that pops against the main palette.
• Eco influences move from rustic to more sophisticated texturing in natural fibres, oatmeal-grain linens, fossil-inspired designs.
• Textured runners, such as a chevron print, on square or rectangular tablecloths are used as more design statement than for colour-blocking purposes.
Tania MacDiarmid, Chair-man Mills
• We've added a vintage tableware line to meet requests from both the social and gala market for more heritage-inspired, delicately patterned opulence along with a new black and gold line with more masculine Art Deco styling.
• Fusing together traditional with contemporary will be commonplace in creating unique, more adventurous tables such as pairing sleek, modern flatware with daintily etched crystal-cut glasses and gold-rimmed plates.
• Metallic charger plates are a must for injecting high-end style or, for more modern luxe, go glass rimmed in gold or silver.
• Serving dishes and platters are headed back to more classic, vintage styling over the recent use of modern, compartment-heavy dishware for deconstructed food presentations.
• Cut-glass miniware makes the scene for sorbets, 3-in. square plates for small-bite desserts and hors d'oeuvres, shooter glasses for unique food presentations. Group them for interest.
• Round tables will always have a place but we're also seeing call for wider-width rectangular tables that offer a bigger footprint for centrepieces and décor without taking up too much floor space.
• Ghost chairs are great for adding a modern touch and letting the beauty of heavy brocade tablecloths shine through.
Natasha Ugarkovic, Exclusive Affair Rentals
• What was once "less is more" is becoming "more is more" as we see a move from the minimal, modern looks of the past few years towards really dressing the table up with ornate embellishments.
• We're borrowing older heritage visual styles from the past including pre-World War I (think Downton Abbey), the '20s and '30s for Gatsbyesque nostalgia, and the '60s (Mad Men).
• Think "full monty" and proper place-setting protocol using vintage patterned china, ornate silverware, cut crystal glassware, champagne and wine glasses.
• Chivari chairs are still popular but there's also a resurgence in Versaille chairs, which are more of a ballroom style. Colour them gold, black, and ghost.
• Lace tablecloth overlays are trending as are more organic fabrics with lots of texture.
Suzanne Turnbull, McNabb Roick Events
• We have designed an oversized table seating up to 20 guests as a unique way to enrich the experience of corporate sponsors. This trend will spill over into the private sector with oversized tables acting as head tables for wedding parties etc.
• Think "couture dress" in setting dining tables with incredible textiles and fabrics that are more intricate, delicate and tactile for enhancing guest experiences once they take their seat.
• Technology reaches the table as new products like short-throw projectors and cordless lighting systems help planners realize the potential of incorporating illumination and moving images into table top designs.

I was given the three names they were deciding between and was told to take my own spin on it remembering the target audience of the children and their parents.
I created a couple of mood-boards to define the two directions that I felt fit the idea well and showed them to the designers, they all told me that I was definitely going in the right direction and the style resembled a project they had already done for the company which was a good sign.
I spent the rest of the day developing three concepts that took lead on those directions and presented them to Sam before leaving and he was really happy with the outcomes as directions to show the clients. Being given a day for something this advanced was a challenge in itself, but to be told that the direction outcomes I had finished with were of good enough standard to go to a client was a great feeling to leave with.
I am really enjoying the time I am spending at Lift and am looking forward to being able to spend more time with them and possibly a full time job once their new studio is finished!

The Employment situation report was released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics at 8:30 a.m. on February 7, 2014. The report related that employment rose by a mere 113,000 jobs much below estimate. Even so the unemployment rate (U3) dropped again this month to a five year low at 6.6% but, real unemployment (U6) is still in double digits at 12.7%
The labor participation rate ticked up slightly but remains near 1978 levels at 63%. That number was 64.3% one year after President Obama took office.
As with the CBO report that ObamaCare would cause the loss of 2.3-2.5 million jobs, we expect the White House and Democrats to spin this data-point to reflect that more people can and are freeing themselves from the labor force to pursue other activities and hobbies.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 113,000 in January, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 6.6 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Employment grew in construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and mining.
Household Survey Data
Both the number of unemployed persons, at 10.2 million, and the unemployment rate, at 6.6 percent, changed little in January. Since October, the jobless rate has decreased by 0.6 percentage point.
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (6.2 percent), adult women (5.9 percent), teenagers (20.7 percent), whites (5.7 percent), blacks (12.1 percent), and Hispanics (8.4 percent) showed little change in January. The jobless rate for Asians was 4.8 percent (not seasonally adjusted), down by 1.7 percentage points over the year.
The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more), at 3.6 million, declined by 232,000 in January. These individuals accounted for 35.8 percent of the unemployed. The number of long-term unemployed has declined by 1.1 million over the year.
After accounting for the annual adjustment to the population controls, the civilian labor force rose by 499,000 in January, and the labor force participation rate edged up to 63.0 percent. Total employment, as measured by the household survey, increased by 616,000 over
the month, and the employment-population ratio increased by 0.2 percentage point to 58.8
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) fell by 514,000 to 7.3 million in January. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to
find full-time work.
In January, 2.6 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, little changed from a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
Among the marginally attached, there were 837,000 discouraged workers in January, about unchanged from a year earlier. Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.8 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in January had not searched for work for reasons such
as school attendance or family responsibilities.
Establishment Survey Data
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 113,000 in January. In 2013, employment growth averaged 194,000 per month. In January, job gains occurred in construction, manufacturing, wholesale trade, and mining.
Construction added 48,000 jobs over the month, more than offsetting a decline of 22,000 in December. In January, job gains occurred in both residential and nonresidential building (+13,000 and +8,000, respectively) and in nonresidential specialty trade contractors
(+13,000). Heavy and civil engineering construction also added 10,000 jobs.
Employment in manufacturing increased in January (+21,000). Over the month, job gains occurred in machinery (+7,000), wood products (+5,000), and motor vehicles and parts (+5,000). Manufacturing added an average of 7,000 jobs per month in 2013.
In January, wholesale trade added 14,000 jobs, with most of the increase occurring in nondurable goods (+10,000).
Mining added 7,000 jobs in January, compared with an average monthly gain of 2,000 jobs in 2013.
Employment in professional and business services continued to trend up in January (+36,000). The industry added an average of 55,000 jobs per month in 2013. Within the industry, professional and technical services added 20,000 jobs in January.
Leisure and hospitality employment continued to trend up over the month (+24,000). Job growth in the industry averaged 38,000 per month in 2013.
Employment in health care was essentially unchanged in January for the second consecutive month. Health care added an average of 17,000 jobs per month in 2013.
Employment in retail trade changed little in January (-13,000). Within the industry, sporting goods, hobby, book, and music stores lost 22,000 jobs, offsetting job gains in the prior 3 months. In January, motor vehicle and parts dealers added 7,000 jobs.
In January, federal government employment decreased by 12,000; the U.S. Postal Service accounted for most of this decline (-9,000).
Employment in other major industries, including transportation and warehousing, information, and financial activities, showed little or no change over the month.
In January, the average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 34.4 hours. The manufacturing workweek declined by 0.2 hour to 40.7 hours, and factory overtime edged down by 0.1 hour to 3.4 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 33.5 hours.
Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 5 cents to $24.21. Over the year, average hourly earnings have risen by 46 cents, or 1.9 percent. In January, average hourly earnings of private-sector production and nonsupervisory employees increased by 6 cents to $20.39.
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for November was revised from +241,000 to +274,000, and the change for December was revised from +74,000 to +75,000. With these revisions, employment gains in November and December were 34,000 higher than previously reported. Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses since
the last published estimates and the monthly recalculation of seasonal factors. The annual benchmark process also contributed to the revisions in this news release.

The Calm Before the Storm
For all my loyal readers, all 3 of you, I am not dead, I've just kept myself from getting worked up too soon over college football season, that and the Lakers loss just took too much out of me to write about it. Thankfully the Olympics provided a much needed distraction from the upcoming season and here we are only 2 days away from the first kickoff when we get to watch Vanderbilt take on Miami of Ohio, among other games that I shouldn't, but you know I will be watching. There's a lot of different things I want to touch on so this post will seem very unorganized and jumbled together but here goes:
- I don't think it will officially hit me that Rich Rodriguez is our head coach until I see him on the sidelines on Saturday. For all the years that I've followed Michigan football I have only known one coach and to see a new man at the helm will be kind of weird.
- With that said, I can't wait to see this new offense. For years we have been running the same shit over and over, as all Michigan fans know we used to be able to call our plays with frightening accuracy. We are finally going to be on a level playing field as other programs around the country were passing us by with new techniques and schemes that we were unwilling to adopt.
- I really don't like our new road jerseys, call me old school but I just don't like all the piping and the additional maize on it. Although they're not nearly as bad as the changes that Cal made to their jerseys this season.
- I believe this will be my most enjoyable season to watch as a fan. With the coaching change I am not putting any expectations on this team. Sure I expect the team to keep the bowl streak in tact but aside from that I am just going to sit back and enjoy the ride this season. Moreso than any other season opener, the excitement isn't just about this season but the change in our program as a whole and I know there will be some bumps along the way this season. Sure we'll probably lose a game we shouldn't but we should probably win a game we shouldn't as well. I could continue on about it but Brian at MGoBlog has already summed it up the best:
And you know what? This seems like great fun. Michigan's going to run out on the field and play like they're one of those teams trying to make inferior talent work. They're going to line up in the shotgun without a huddle. When whichever quarterback happens to be that play's piñata raises his leg, the team will glance to the sideline and get the new play in. On average, this will be a run that goes for six yards.
At no point will they assume physical or mental superiority over their opponent. Their plan is to raid the endzone as best they can, which may be "not very well at all," but by God they're going to try on every snap.
It's going to be a fiasco. It's going to be ugly and tantalizing and dispiriting and awesome. I can't wait.

Immigration and employment
Re: "Anchor Baby base" (Michael A. Pacer, Letters, Sept. 11).
Mr. Pacer is correct in that undocumented workers are required by the U.S. government to file income tax returns for every year in which they are employed within our borders. "Undocumented worker" is the correct term because it accurately describes a work status.
The reason undocumented workers are not required to file for a Social Security Number (SSN) is that they are not authorized Social Security benefits. For federal tax reporting purposes, the Internal Revenue Service provides illegal workers a nine-digit identification code called an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). This identification number is not intended to serve any other purpose, including authorizing legal employment. Undocumented workers' federal tax filing requirements mirror legal workers, hence the eligibility for a child tax credit.
Mr. Pacer would have you believe that this credit is an "anchor baby," direct $1,000 cash payment � impacting our "social safety net" and an avenue for which a Democratic conspiracy to destroy this country would be realized by gaining 20 million additional, non-English speaking votes. It sorely misses the bigger issue of undocumented workers and federal tax filing requirements.
First, Mr. Pacer's claim that the reported income by undocumented workers is less than their tax refunds is incredibly na�ve. Second, people continue to flow into this country to work. He wholly dismisses the unreported tax revenues by employers who persist in hiring undocumented workers. That issue alone is the real travesty with illegal immigration. While we blast undocumented workers with following the tax file laws, opponents of immigration reform conveniently omit the billions in employer tax fraud committed by companies willing to employ people not authorized to work in this country. Lastly, as long as politicians and interest groups confuse the substantive issues of immigration and enforceable work laws with political bigotry, constitutional birth rights and voter fraud accusations, this debate will continue to be unresolved.

Follow orders
Re: "Foiled by the fire," (Mele Bond, letters, Sept. 5)
I wasn't going to respond to this obvious disregard for their own lives but as I was sitting at my sewing table, working on a Christmas quilt for my 6-year-old great niece, I was thinking of this person's daughter. What if she had not been ordered to evacuate and the fire showed up at her front door? What anguish her daughter would be going through right now.
I am a firefighter's daughter and I learned early on that you follow the instructions that the firefighters and police give you when there is a call for evacuation. This was a wind-driven brush fire and no one knew where it was going to go. In order to survive in situations like this, we must have faith in those who are called to protect our lives and our properties. Even if Ms. Bond knew that her home was safe from the fire, she should have never, never, never tried to go back Friday night. She should have stayed away the two nights and then gone back to home on that beautiful, clear Sunday, with no fire in sight, when the evacuation orders were lifted.
Our prayers go out to the farmers who lost some of their animals due to the fire and to the homeowners who lost their homes.

Details- Press Note, Instructions,
Pls tell about punjab also
Karnataka has announced - Last date for applying is September 9
Thanks for providing the best news and updates. i am the regular visitor for this blog and it has been inspiration for my blog for University Exam Results 2013.
Sir, in yet another attempt to increase confusion, NCERT has published confusing instructions for NTSE 2013-14. If last year NTSE decided to create havoc by manipulating results, this year their instructions on www.ncert.nic.in for Stage 1 show that there will be two sections of MAT and SAT whereas the Rajasthan state instructions published in your blog clearly show three sections (with introduction of language).
Is there a way to move the conduct of this examination from NCERT to a more competent organization ?
Will there be interview this year? (2012-2013) i.e. for students who have given the exam in May 2013 ?

"The vulgar, who, in those dreary old times, were always contributing a grotesque horror to what interested their imaginations, had a story about the scarlet letter which we might readily work up into a terrific legend. They averred that the symbol was not mere scarlet cloth, tinged in an earthly dye-pot, but was red-hot with infernal fire, and could be seen glowing all alight whenever Hester Prynne walked abroad in the night-time. And we must needs say it seared Hester's bosom so deeply, that perhaps there was more truth in the rumour than our modern incredulity may be inclined to admit."
I know that it seemed like it took me a long time to finish this book, but I actually had to put it down for about a month or so to take care of some other things. It was pretty much a quick read, not too long, not too wordy.
Sometimes you read a book that isn't very good. Sometimes you a read book that is well-written but the story kinda sucks. Sometimes you read a book and you're like, what the fuck.
Yeah, this is that kind of book.
The Scarlet Letter was written in the 1850s but set in the 1640s, during the height of the Puritans and all their strict beliefs. It is about a woman who has an adulterous affair and what happens to her and the people around her because of her affair. To be quite honest, the story was a little bit like something you'd see on Maury Povich.
The story opens and Hester Prynne (our adulteress) is standing on a scaffold in the town square. She is very obviously pregnant and it's very obvious that her husband is not the father because it has been rumoured that he might have been lost at sea. Back in those days women did not have affairs, whether they were married or not. They did not have babies by men other than their husbands. As in all societies since the dawn of man, usually it is the women who suffer strict punishments while the men get off scot-free.
So Hester is up on this scaffold and everyone is like, "Who is the baby daddy?" She absolutely refuses to say. The reverend, the ministers and all the town elders are interrogating her, trying to figure out who the baby daddy is. She just won't say, so they throw her in jail. She stays in jail the whole time she is pregnant. When the baby is born they drag her back out to the scaffold and demand to know who the baby's father is. Again, she won't say.
Enter the Scary Old Man, Roger Chillingworth. Even his name is scary: Chillingworth. He is a stranger to the town and he happens to arrive the same moment Hester is up on the scaffold with her bastard baby. He wants to know what is going on and the townspeople tell him about Hester the Hoe. Roger Chillingworth says, "You know, I'm a doctor. Why don't you let me talk to her." Back then they thought everything was somehow medically related.
The town elders allow Roger to talk to Hester alone. When he goes into the jail cell, Hester is surprised to see him. Lo and behold, he is her husband! But get this, he's like, "Okay, so I'll talk to the town elders for you and see if I can get you out of jail but don't tell them I'm your husband." What? Yeah, but for whatever reason Hester agrees to this. Roger is somehow able to talk to the elders and they release her.
Hester has to wear a giant letter "A" on her chest so that everybody will know that she is an adulteress. I know it's symbolism but really, don't you think that's a little bit extra? They live in a small village. She has a baby. I think we all know that she is an adulteress. We don't need her to wear a large red "A," but apparently they think it's necessary. Of course she is shunned by society. They make her live on the edge of town by herself. She is a very good seamstress and that's how she makes a living. She can make everything except virgins' wedding dresses. *eyeroll* It's just so ridiculously unfair. She didn't magically have the baby alone. I know she did not want to name the father, but it's just too dumb. I know that I am using my 2011 brain and social mores against 1642 but still…
Let's talk about the Reverend Dimmesdale and Roger Chillingworth. Now you remember that the reverend was among the people on the platform demanding to know who the father of the child was. Roger is her husband that's also a doctor that managed to get her out of jail. Because Roger is new to town he has no where to live so he ends up staying with the Reverend Dimmesdale, a young man who appears to be neglecting his health. Reverend Dimmesdale is very well respected in the community–after all, he is the reverend. He always gives very timely sermons that seem to go well with whatever is going on in the village that moment.
Almost immediately you know that something is up with this guy. He is pretty much the only person to ever visit Hester, and he always does it secretly. At first, you're thinking that he doesn't want to tarnish his good name by being seen in the company of a woman of ill-repute but then you start to realise that he is the father of Hester Prynne's daughter Pearl.
The middle of the novel started to stagnate a little. There was a lot going on about the damn scarlet letter Hester had to wear on her chest. Her daughter is growing up and constantly asks what the letter means. Pearl is described as this fae like creature because of her parentage. She is beautiful and flighty like a little bird. There is even a scene where she acts like she doesn't know who her mother is when she takes the scarlet letter off. I think Pearl was even wise enough to know that Reverend Dimmesdale was her father, even though she was only seven years old.
Finally, towards the end of the story Dimmesdale and Hester decide they can't live like this anymore. He is in poor health. She has been wearing that damn letter for seven years. It's time to move on. They make plans to run away together and take Pearl with them. All this time Roger has been kind of spying on Dimmesdale and he too soon figures out that Dimmesdale is the father.
Something I could not quite understand is why Roger Chillingworth was so bitter. First of all, when he and Hester were married in Europe, he told her to go on ahead to America and he would follow behind after he concluded his affairs. She had been living in America for years. Remember that everyone thought he was dead because too much time had passed. Back in those days it wasn't unheard of to be lost at sea. Yeah, I get that his wife had a baby by another man but he could have easily just walked away from the whole situation the minute he arrived in town and saw that she had a kid. He didn't even have to make his presence known to her. He could have kept it moving. I guess guys always feel slighted no matter whether was real motivation or not.
Roger decides he is going to stop them going away together. He has already allowed Dimmesdale to torment himself beyond belief. It is like he wants this guy to go over the brink. Hester and Dimmesdale had plans to board a ship right after the new governor is sworn into office, but he is first expected to make a sermon. At the end of the sermon, he sees Hester and Pearl standing by the scaffold, the scene of their original torment and for whatever insane reason he just jumps onto the scaffold, dragging them with them and announces to all and sundry that he is the father. Then he rips off his shirt to reveal that he has carved a letter "A" into his chest and has been scarring it since the day Hester was first forced to wear her letter "A."
I mean, is that melodramatic or what? To make it even more ridiculous, he dies, presumably from infection of having a fresh, open wound on his chest for seven years. Roger Chillingworth is pissed. He was to have his revenge but since Dimmesdale has died, there is nothing he can do to him. Then Hester and Pearl disappear quietly and now he really has no one to torment. Roger dies a year after Dimmesdale. Randomly, he leaves Pearl all of his money, making her the wealthiest heiress in the area.
Years later, Hester returns to her little cottage by the sea but she is without Pearl. They never really say where she went, but it's likely she married someone in Europe. Hester becomes kind of counselor to the women in the town. They all realise how they wronged her because of her indiscretion. They all realise how they too have suffered a mistake and the price they have paid, so they come to her to seek her advice on various issues. Eventually, years on down the line, Hester dies and she is buried in a new grave next to Dimmesdale's old grave.
Like I said before, I kept trying to put 2011 into this 1642 tale. My sensibilities were offended at the fact that she had to walk around with this "A" on her chest and that she had to live on the edge of town, everyone shunning her. I didn't like how Dimmesdale never came forward in all that time. He would have been ridiculed too but probably they would have been forced to marry and then everyone would have forgotten about them eventually. But that is just like a man for you, never one to take responsibility. I don't care if he "suffered in silence." Hester suffered openly.
I thought the book was well-written even if it did kind of linger too long on stuff that seemed irrelevant. Or maybe it was pertinent and I just didn't understand it. At any rate, it was a pretty good book. I'm sorry it took me so long to read it; I just got sidetracked on other things.
I give it a B+
Next I am going to read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain, since it's on my reading list for a class.

Name: Stephanie McDonaldLevel of PQE: 14 yearsCurrent position and immediate former position: Partner, Gunnercooke LLP. Formerly, commercial lawyer at Radiant Law, and partner at Nabarro
I wanted to pursue a career in business and felt it was a good place to start. I was open-minded about where it would take me - and I guess I still am.
I studied Scottish Law at Glasgow University, and then converted to English law in order to secure a City training contract. I qualified into Berwin Leighton Paisner's infrastructure projects team, drawn by the diversity it offered in terms of sectors and skills (commercial, construction, banking).
Having worked for over 10 years at traditional law firms - including Lovells and Berwin Leighton Paisner, and as a partner at Nabarro - I was keen to experience something different. It was becoming clear that the legal services market was changing, and I wanted to experience that for myself.
I joined Radiant Law, an alternative business structure (ABS) regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority but based in South Africa. I moved to Cape Town, where I helped to manage a team of young lawyers, pushing the envelope with tech-enabled deal delivery. It was fun. I jumped from there into challenger law firm Gunnercooke - also an ABS - continuing to deliver UK and international deals using a Cape Town/London base.
There's no substitute for market research, and that means talking to as many people as possible about their personal experiences of ABSs and new ways of working.
Leaving behind a conventional City law firm career is scary, but it's also liberating. It was a tough move, but the excitement of the change and the opportunity outweighed my nervousness. You have to hold your nerve!
Keeping an open mind about what the future holds. When you step outside of a traditional career path, you need to be alive to the possibility that life will take you in a direction you did not anticipate. That is not for everyone, but if you can handle the unpredictability, it's an exciting journey.
The freedom to shape my business the way I want to, and to build family and other interests into my life in a more structured way than I have ever been able to do before.
I found that I had to be honest with myself about my ability to leave behind old habits. After many years of conventional law firm behavior, it's not easy to change how you approach things like deal delivery, practice management and sales. You have to give yourself some slack in the beginning - learn to see things differently and try new methods.
Someone told me that it's okay to fail so long as you fail 'safely', and I think that's a good motto. When you're outside your comfort zone, it's best to have people around you trust for support and guidance.
Prove your experience in representing the needs of vulnerable clients to prospective clients.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Cross Training and other Running topics.
The benefits of cross training are well known to runners, and here's one more to consider: Walking on a treadmill at a 12-15% incline.
According to a recent Active.com post by Matt Fitzgerald, there's research to show that walking on a treadmill at a 12-15% incline is roughly equivalent to running (on a flat surface, presumably).
So if you are recovering from injury and working back to running, take heart, and maybe give the inclined treadmill a try. Or if bad winter weather keeps you from a run, this may be just what the doctor ordered.

For years, Pinterest was my favourite social platform. It was briefly nudged out of the way by Twitter, and then almost abandoned when I fell for Instagram. I was being unfair, because Pinterest has always been my most successful platform, right back to when I blogged about cakes and studied coral reefs and minerals.
I left my profile sitting untouched and unloved for a long time. It ticked along quite happily with my pins taking care of themselves as the they were saved and liked again and again. Occasionally, I would take a look to see what had changed, but I didn't like the new 'Picked for You' feature, or the merging of 'News' and 'You' notifications. Pinterest just didn't seem quite as addictive as it had been before.
Then I saw a jumper. A fun, bright Christmas jumper; and I suddenly wanted to pin it. When I logged in, things looked dramatically different. I had already read about the new features, but I'd never actually seen them in action; and at last, Pinterest had me back under its wing.
So what are my two favourite features right now?
1. Showcase
When you have endless boards all stacked on top of each other, some of them can get a little dusty in there. The new showcase feature lets you pick up to five boards you want to display front and centre on your Pinterest profile. This meant I could bring my most relevant boards up to the top of my page, cue Christmas jumpers and festive ideas! The reason I love this is that I can keep holiday and seasonal boards tucked away at the bottom of my profile all year long, and only bring them out when they're needed. Just like my box of Christmas baubles.
2. Checking off ideas
The second Pinterest feature I'm loving right now is the ability to check off projects or ideas that I've tried. Back when I was baking, this would have been a dream. Pinterest saves the pins that you've completed in their own section of your profile, and this means you can go back and repeat the things you loved. So, the first thing I checked off was a brand new hairstyle. Go me!
After I showed my hair stylist all of these pictures, we chose a length and agreed it absolutely had to be a blunt cut. I got it chopped, was pretty chuffed with my decision and officially checked off my first Pinterest activity! I was able to rate the style, add a comment, and I could upload a picture of the finished look. I think this will be a great feature for craft projects or baking, but also for fashion where 'real girls' can show off what high street clothes look like on all our different body shapes!
After checking off the look, my pin now shows up with bold tick mark so I can clearly see that I've tried it. I might create a board of books in 2017 with what I want to read next year, checking them off as I go. The possibilities are endless…
Follow me on Pinterest!
Like any keen Pinner, I have lots of boards. You'll like my profile if you enjoy interiors, cakes and pretty CVs. But my imagination can go a bit wild sometimes…

Workshops Help Employers in Improving Their Employees' Skills and Self-Esteem
Working people have gone through a lot of workshops in order to hone their skills and be at the current jobs they are holding. Actually, before a person could have mastered a single skill, he also had a rough time identifying his dominant skills and among which could be the most productive and competitive among his skills. But the most crucial stage would be when they felt the need to acquire new skills to be a better person and be a more competitive one in the industrial world.
However, not only employees spend that much time and effort in improving their own skills. Even employers themselves have something in line to improve their existing employees and turn them to become above the average employee. All established companies have their own organizational development processes that handle necessary and appropriate workshops that can train and enrich their employees' productive technical skills in order to increase their company's revenues and profits.
Employers are aware of the significant correlation of productive revenues and productive employees. Productive employees do not only produce quantity but as well as quality which makes the whole business more profitable and identified of its branded products and services. Employers always have their eyes on their revenue makers, which are their employees who are responsible of bringing in all revenues and profits. In order for the employer to retain its best employees, it also makes sure that it provides training grounds or appropriate technical workshops for them to eventually improve.
In addition, these appropriate workshops give these existing employees that sense of self-esteem and confidence through these opportunities and become better people of their fields. In relation to this, employees are also given an opportunity to display their other foundation skills such as leadership, motivational, and interpersonal skills. After receiving such technical improvements, they can easily incorporate them with their leadership skills, making them more flexible and advanced. This kind of combination may lead them to possible promotions and personal growth.
Workshops do not only improve an employee but as well as prepare him to become a more credible employee. Also, Employers benefit from workshops by producing more productive revenue makers by simply enriching their technical, leadership, and interpersonal skills.

So I've got myself a solid 7x5, and although another half inch to an inch in length wouldn't bother me, I'm more concerned with adding at least one inch in girth. I've never had anyone complain about my size, and I can tell from their responses during sex I've got nothing to worry about. But for some reason I want a little more girth. I've read through the numerous girth exercises and I've been doing some for some months, but I want to know if there's anyone out there that has a specific girth routine that they could share, including exercises, reps, and how many days a week you do it. Also a progress report on how it went would be awesome too. Thanks to anyone that has the time to respond!

I target girth and have been doing a routine for about a month. Have gained quite alot of erect girth. I don't measure but definitely have gained. Like everyone will say. Start with JP's 90 day routine thats stickied in the Beginner's Forum. You say your fine with length so youll prolly be hesitant to start with stretches and jelq's. But think of it this way. A clown stretches his balloon before he blows them up and so should you. A stretch out is a stretch around. So after getting conditioned my routine is as follows. Warmup > Tunica Tug each way for 30 seconds heli. spinning in between > JP's Stretches > Flaccid bends hitting 4 spots each way doing a light kegel while holding > then 75 Jelqs - 75 V-Jelqs (being sure to throw a few side jelqs in with these) 3x > then edge like a madman. When hitting the PONR do a uli for 30 seconds kegeling to increase expansion (KingPoles SupraSlammers just not as intensely) and if youd like, balloon it. I like to tunica tug before stretches as to stretch the penis itself before the ligs. And the jelqs blow up your newly stretched balloon.

Thanks I'll give this a whirl! I had been doing sort of my own thing for a month or two, but would like to try something different. one more question though about how many days a week do you go through your routine? As of now I do about 4.

RINGETTE – Helsinki, Finland
What else do you do on New Year's Eve apart from heading to Helsinki, Finland for the Ringette World Championships? After accidentally stumbling into and claiming media accreditation for the Junior Ice Hockey World Championships which were taking place in the venue next door we eventually were directed to where we were supposed to be. Ringette can loosely be described as a non-contact form of ice hockey played predominantly by female participants. The stick used is an ice hockey stick without the blade and a rubber ring is used instead of puck. We got to see the titanic clash between Canada and the USA. Unfortunately for the gallant Americans, the sport was invented by the Canadians and they proved far too strong for their neighbours. The one way traffic probably didn't show the sport in the best light unfortunately, and being possibly the coldest ice rink I have ever been in, probably prompted us to make an appropriate exit not too long after the game! #ringette #wrc2016 #teamusa #teamcanada #helsinki #finland #worldchampionship

Tom Nowatzke
Tom Nowatzke, the number one draft choice of the Detroit Lions in 1965, made it in the NFL after a stellar career at Indiana University. There he achieved All-American status as a senior, despite the fact that his Hoosiers finished the season with a 2-7 record. A farm boy from northern Indiana, Nowatzke could only dream about being a regular in the NFL. After playing four seasons for the Lions and suffering a neck injury in 1969, Tom hoped to resurrect his career. But he never thought about the possibility of playing for a Super Bowl winner. Near the end of Super Bowl V in Miami on January 17, 1971, on his second try from the two-yard line, Tom Nowatzke, the big fullback of the Baltimore Colts, plowed into the end zone and with the extra point, they tied the score against the Dallas Cowboys to 13-13. The Colt's went on to win the game when Jim O'Brien kicked a 32 yard field goal. After the season, Tom received the Unsung Hero Award by his Colt teammates, and became a household name in Baltimore after their Super Bowl victory.

GCAM is the model that we will use to track energy generation and usage, as well as agricultural land use and yield. Like the CESM, it has been under development in an academic setting for many years. While it's core functionality is impressive and immensely valuable - incorporating a vast amount of scientific wisdom - the tools and data formats that provide job control and input/output certainly didn't have our use in mind.
So, again like the CESM, it is important to package GCAM in such a way that it can be used as a docile and reliable software component of the larger Earthers system. At this stage of the project, our strategy will be to keep the GCAM code intact, and wrap it in an interface that is more suited to our needs. Should Earthers succeed, it's likely that we'd want to dig into some of the core I/O routines in the GCAM make some different optimizations.
(see here for GCAM tutorial slides)
The core GCAM code is implemented in C++, and can be built without too much trouble on Posix systems. A future post will describe this process in more detail.
Each GCAM run by default spans all of the years from 2015 to 2100 in five year time steps. We would like to change the time step to be a single year, and also to make it possible to stop and start runs at any year. A complete run takes about 10 minutes, and requires about 4GB of RAM (i.e., it will not fit within the limits of a Lambda call - this is a real bummer).
Both the input and output data formats are in XML, and GCAM uses the Xerces parser to read and write them. The de facto XML schema (no actual xsd seems to exist) has clearly evolved over time, and is not exhaustively documented. It does not conform to XML best practices: element names are mixture of hyphenated and camel-cased, attributes and text elements are used inconsistently, element types are mixed together within parents, etc.
For interactive scientific use, GCAM comes with a graphical query interface implemented in Java. We will not use this interface, but rather postprocess the results from XML into another form that better suits our needs (see below).
With the above in mind, we would like our GCAM execution system to have the following properties:
It's also important to enumerate the model options that the control interface supports, as well as the query types that the results interface is able to serve. Both of these still need to be fleshed out.
With these requirements in mind, we propose the following architecture:

Sea World Resort
Because it is only a monorail ride away from Sea World, Australia's top marine park, this resort is understandably popular with families. But couples who are big kids at heart can also enjoy it. Located between the Broadwater shore and the Main Beach surf, it has 405 rooms in three low-rise accommodation wings. There is a Kids Club and a playground, and the resort's four restaurants have children's menus. Children stay free and you can arrange accommodation packages that include entry to Sea World.

A partial differential equation model of a cantilevered beam with a tip mass at its free end is used to study damping in a composite. Four separate damping mechanisms consisting of air damping, strain rate damping, spatial hysteresis, and time hysteresis are considered experimentally. Dynamic tests were performed to produce time histories. The time history data is then used along with an approximate model to form a sequence of least squares problems. The solution of the least squares problem yields the estimated damping coefficients. The resulting experimentally determined analytical model is compared with the time histories via numerical simulation of the dynamic response. The procedure suggested here is compared with a standard modal damping ratio model commonly used in experimental modal analysis.

Jenson Button will be ruing the fifteen-place grid penalty for the Monaco Grand Prix after making it through to the top ten shootout on Saturday, but will drop to the back of the field thanks to taking new components on his engine.
The Briton is replacing Fernando Alonso in the McLaren Honda Formula 1 Team this weekend as the Spaniard focuses on the Indianapolis 500, and the 2009 World Champion was able to push all the way through qualifying.
Button admits he has been struggling to get the best out of the new 2017 Pirelli tyres this weekend, but he was happy with being able to make it all the way to Q3 in his first race weekend since the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"It was a lot of fun out there," admitted Button. "Practice was fine, but in qualifying you reach a point where you really need to fine-tune the car's performance, and that's still a bit of a learning curve for me.
"This year's tyres are completely different to last year's in terms of how they work; how they fade away; how they last. It's been tricky trying to find those last few per cent.
"But I'm happy – in my one and only race this year I qualify ninth… and start 20th! I never expected to have this opportunity, so this is a great memory for me: driving around Monaco in these monsters, such great machines. I'm very lucky.
"I'll take that ninth position home with me at the end of the weekend – I should be chuffed to bits with that."

ERIE, P.A. – The Erie Ford Dealers recently handed the keys to a brand new 2015 Ford Transit to the Erie City Mission at the Erie Auto Show. The local nonprofit organization was selected from seven finalists as part of the Erie Ford Friendship Express program.
Brought to the area in 2012, the Ford Friendship Express program provides a vehicle to one local nonprofit group annually. Charities that apply demonstrate their need for improved transportation by sharing their stories and explaining how being a recipient will impact their organization.
The Erie City Mission received its new vehicle during a key presentation at the beginning of the 2015 Erie Auto Show. The organization will use its new Ford vehicle to improve food pickup and delivery services that operate seven days a week.
"The Ford Friendship Express Program provides the gift of transportation to the people and organizations that need it most," said Mark Winkler, Erie Ford Friendship Express representative. "We chose the Erie City Mission because it provides critical services to those in-need in Erie. We're proud to give back to an organization that is so dedicated to serving the local community."
The Erie City Mission offers shelter, food, clothing, rehabilitation and after school programs, among other services, for those in-need in the Erie community. These efforts lead to permanent change and independent living for many of Erie's men, women and children.
"Our food pickup and delivery program provides a vital service to men and women that visit the mission," said Pastor Rick Crocker, Erie City Mission's executive director. "Last year, we prepared and served over 150,000 meals. Thanks to the Erie Ford Dealers, we now have reliable transportation to carry out our food pickup and delivery for the people who rely on this service every day."
To be considered for the 2015 Ford Friendship Express program, Pennsylvania nonprofits in Erie, Crawford or Warren counties applied online at www.pennford.com before January 2. Members of the Erie Ford Friendship Express Selection Committee reviewed all applications and determined which organization showed the most need and met all program guidelines. Organizations can apply for the 2016 program by visiting the website this fall.
About Erie Area Ford Dealers
The Erie Area Ford Dealers are part of the Western New York Ford Stores, an advertising cooperative comprised of 39 dealer locations that provides support for Ford vehicle sales and service in the 13 counties of Western New York and Rochester, and three counties in Northern Pennsylvania.

text: PIERRE — Only twice has our family not sat down for a real Thanksgiving meal. The second time came four years ago, when we used the holiday week to move from our first house to this house. We had used up seemingly every cubic foot of space in the old place. Nonetheless I resisted moving, because of the money. On Halloween night, a group of Kimmie's friends came to the door for a short visit. That group of fun faces in the doorway needed more room for life than we had to offer. I gave in. Through good fortune, our real estate agent, Pat, invited Ellen to look at a house that had been on the market for a while. Not much for curb appeal, Pat acknowledged, but wait until you see the inside. Love at first sight for Ellen, the deal done as quickly as anything involving mortgages can be. That put us into Thanksgiving week. We packed and hauled and had movers handle the big stuff. We were between kitchens and decided to eat our Thanksgiving dinner out rather than cook. We spent Thanksgiving morning and early afternoon finishing up the move. Then we discovered that we were too late. The buffets we were considering were either about to close for the rest of the holiday or — gadzooks! — out of turkey. We wound up heading down to a local billiards hall and barroom for mid-afternoon cheeseburgers instead. Any other day, good solid food, but it seemed an odd place for a family to gather on Thanksgiving. A hospital can be an odd place, too, for a family on Thanksgiving. That is, unless your baby girl is born just before dawn on Thanksgiving morn. That's when Kimura Suzanne came to us, at 5:25 a.m. on November 28, 1991, to be precise, as they are wont to be on an official birth record. After all was well and good, and Ellen was resting, I went for a walk and stood on the skyway connecting the new side of St. Mary's and the original side. From that bridge I watched the gray light begin the new day. I took the street white in new snow to be a good sign. Later that day we had some turkey at the hospital. It wasn't a traditional Thanksgiving meal, but the thought behind the food counted. That Christmas, a present arrived for us: an ornament for Kimmie from Gov. Mickelson. By the time our son, Mac, was born two years later, George was already gone. Eighteen years later, that ornament still hangs each Christmas, a reminder of how fast life moves. Ellen's good friend Meredith began a family tradition for us. Each Christmas season she sends an ornament each for Kim and Mac, with the year and personal highlights hand-written by her. They are wonderful reminders, too, of how fast life moves. This year we spent Thanksgiving together as just the four of us, Kim and Mac and Mom and Dad. More than ever before, Kimmie helped Ellen in the kitchen. Watching them together was a gift in itself deserving thanks. There was something special in the air beside the whiffs of wonderful cooking. This Thanksgiving was Kimmie's last as a child. As I wrote this Friday morning, it was her last day of being 17. On Saturday, as many of you read this, she turns 18. On Sunday, she and Ellen are set to head off for Kimmie's first visit to a college campus as a prospective student there. They come back Monday, and she will begin to chart a course, her course, for the start of the rest of her life. Suddenly 18 years seems like such a short time. Good luck, kiddo, and always remember we love you.

Godaddy/Dreamweaver database connection error
I keep running into an error when connecting to the database for powerCMS.
I have all information correct for the connection itself. When I try to add to PCMS from dreamweaver I am getting the error attached.
I've tried using the IP address of the db server and currently am using the server location string.
I looks like it's going through the motions of uploading what it needs to for the initial files but when I try to add the info I get this error.
I have not been able to get to the point where I can upload the admin files yet and I have called Godaddy and they say there are no connection issues or restriction from an outside source.
Any suggestions?

Convertible Bonds: the better Multi-Asset Class
Multi-asset funds have been in high demand over the last few years, attracting record inflows. They have also dominated new business in Europe this year thanks to their product promise using diversification and active allocation, to limit volatility even when markets are in turmoil and to achieve long-term, attractive absolute returns. But this year they really have been tested, with mixed results. In an environment of volatile bond yields, many funds had problems, while others caught themselves on the wrong foot because of the strengthening of the euro. Convertibles, on the other hand, did much better in these unstable markets. This mix of shares and bonds is able to adapt flexibly to the respective market phase thanks to its "build-in" asset allocation. Depending on the development of the equity or bond markets the profile of the Convertibles investment changes.

Two IEEE members were among the MacArthur Fellows named to the 2010 class. Commonly called the "genius awards," the fellowships honor "talented individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits and a marked capacity for self-direction." The recipients—Michal Lipson and Dawn Song—each receive a US $500 000 no-strings grant during the next five years. The fellowships are awarded by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Michal Lipson
Optics for Next-Generation Devices
"Are you sitting down?" That was the first question the representative from the MacArthur Foundation asked Lipson [right], an IEEE senior member, when she got the call last year letting her know she had been named a MacArthur Fellow. "It was a complete surprise," Lipson says. "I honestly thought it was a prank."
Lipson is an associate professor and founder of the Nanophotonics Group at Cornell University, in Ithaca, N.Y. She received the grant for her pioneering work in micrometer-size photonic silicon structures, which have become the building blocks for applications such as on-chip networking, routing, switching, and signal detection. Her research could lead the way to practical optical computer devices that are compatible with current microelectronics.
Much of Lipson's work focuses on developing optics for the next generation of computers and other devices while using low levels of power and remaining compatible with today's electronic workhorse, complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS). "The idea is that if we use photonics to replace electrons with light, not for doing computation but for propagation of data from one side of a chip to another, it will increase their speed and processing capacity dramatically," she says.
Lipson's work in refining optoelectronic and optical circuits has decreased their size, increased their efficiency, and accelerated their switching speeds. The resulting silicon- based photonic ICs have the potential to dramatically improve signal transmission and processing.
Traditionally, optical devices have used optical materials such as gallium arsenide or lithium niobate, which are not compatible with CMOS-based microelectronics. Lipson has made breakthroughs in the design of such devices, using silicon-based fabrication methods. She and her research group have shown that ring modulators, or circular waveguides, can serve as switches for light passing through adjacent linear waveguides when the frequency of light going into the modulators is precisely tuned relative to the linear waveguide. Lipson and her group are creating chips that can slow down, enhance, or manipulate light in order to increase efficiency and performance while also reducing chip size. "Slow light" is a research area that would, among other uses, allow a chip to store a light signal, then retrieve it and send it along when it is needed.
Her efforts occasionally have more fanciful applications: Her team's "Cloaking at Optical Frequencies" paper, published in Nature Photonics, made headlines in 2009 for describing how to build a device similar to Harry Potter's famed invisibility cloak; Lipson's was composed of nanometer-size silicon structures rather than magical fibers.
Lipson was born in Israel, where her father taught physics at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. Her family moved to São Paulo when she was 8 years old, but she returned to Israel to attend the very college where her father had taught.
Lipson went on to earn bachelor's and master's degrees in physics in 1992 and 1994, as well as a Ph.D. in solid-state physics in 1998. She joined MIT as a postdoctoral associate in the materials science department in 1999, where she focused on silicon light emitters, the technology that made integrated optical processing on a nanoscale level possible.
Lipson moved to Cornell in 2001 to become an associate professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where she founded the Nanophotonics Group, a research lab devoted to the physics and applications of nanoscale photonic structures. Nanophotonics refers to structures that are about 200 times smaller than a human hair.
As early as 2003, Lipson was publishing work showing that one of the first applications of nanophotonic circuits would be routers and repeaters for fiber-optic communication systems, research that quickly made the technology practical for home use.
"I think that's what I like about my work—it's applied physics," she says. "You take fundamental principles and apply them to real problems."
The Nanophotonics Group has grown enormously in the last few years. She says the group started "from scratch" with a completely empty lab. "Now it's very large, with 20 Ph.D. students," she says. "It's a very active group."
Throughout her career, Lipson has been active as an IEEE volunteer. She serves on the IEEE Photonics Society advisory board, has been on the advisory board of the IEEE Photonics Journal, and has served as a guest editor for the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. In addition, she is an active member of the IEEE Women in Engineering group. "As a senior person in my field, I have a responsibility to help other women in engineering," she says.
One of the best things about receiving the MacArthur Fellowship, Lipson says, is that her two sons, ages 6 and 13, finally understand what she does. "And they understand the importance of what I do, and how my success is all self-driven," she says. "If you're not excited about your work, no one else is going to get excited. This is a very competitive field, and there's not a lot of funding. Everyone is competing for the same pot of money."
The MacArthur grant will allow her team to do work that might not have immediate commercial application. "I want to add to my efforts and do some research that is a little more fundamental and harder to get funding for," she says. For example, she has started working on a project using photonics to simulate a black hole. The new project has a bonus for her: Her partner is her father, Reuven Opher, who is on leave from the University of São Paulo to work as a visiting scientist at Cornell.
Lipson says she was inspired to study physics because of her father's passion for the field. "He loves what he does. He gave me and my twin sister a great lesson: There is nothing more beautiful in this world than the fact that we can make an impact through science—and get paid for it," she says, laughing.
Dawn Song
Seeking Beauty in Computer Security
Is there something captivating in computer code? IEEE Member Dawn Song [right] contends there is.
"To me, life is about creating something truly beautiful, and I think there's a lot of beauty in science and engineering, beyond what people usually associate with the word beauty," Song says. "An elegant idea that solves a hard problem is to me—and I think to many others—something very beautiful."
Song was named a MacArthur Fellow for her work on computer security for software, hardware, and networks. She is an associate professor in the department of electrical engineering and computer science at the University of California, Berkeley.
One of her main interests is developing technologies to analyze the security-related properties of program executables, extract the root cause of attacks, and build defenses against them.
Song's work in this area began in early 2000, when she was researching how to defend systems against malicious code as an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University, in Pittsburgh.
"For the first time, we were seeing Internet worms on a large scale," she says. At the time, most approaches to defending against such attacks involved looking for the symptoms, such as increased network traffic or anomalous signals, and trying to fight the problems that arose.
"That was effective in some cases, but it didn't help us understand what the problem really was," she says. She started considering how to preempt the attacks by, for example, uncovering vulnerabilities that worms could exploit. That way, security experts could "automatically generate defenses against the attacks, even when they morph," she says.
Song and her research group developed the BitBlaze binary analysis infrastructure, a suite of technologies to look deep inside the program executables—either benign but vulnerable programs or malicious code—and defend against malicious attacks.
By the time Song moved to UC Berkeley in 2007, the Web had grown, which meant additional security challenges. To address them, she started a sister project, WebBlaze, "to design and develop new technologies to enhance security in the Web space," she says.
Song's WebBlaze research group has developed tools for finding new classes of vulnerabilities in browsers and applications and has devised defenses against them. Some of the approaches have been adopted in industrial standards and mainstream browsers.
Born in China, Song went on to receive a bachelor's degree in physics from Tsinghua University, in Beijing, in 1996. She was drawn to the field because "physics is the language of nature," Song says.
"You can really see the beauty in it. I think studying physics offered me great training."
Song began studying for a Ph.D. in physics at Cornell University, in Ithaca, N.Y. She had become intrigued by computer science, so while at Cornell she took a few classes and did some research projects. "I realized I was really interested in computer science research and decided to switch," she says.
After a year at Cornell, she transferred to the computer science Ph.D. program at Carnegie Mellon, where she obtained a master's degree in 1999. She moved to UC Berkeley to finish her Ph.D., which she received in 2002.
"I chose to work in computer security because I was fascinated by the problems and saw how important it would become in the future," Song says.
After graduating from UC Berkeley, she worked as an assistant professor in electrical computer engineering and computer science at Carnegie Mellon for five years. She returned to Berkeley to become an associate professor in computer science in 2007 and received tenure last year.
Looking ahead, Song plans to develop tools to protect users' information and privacy on social networks and in the cloud.
"Technology is doing good by making people more connected and making society more open," she says, "but in many cases, people would like to protect their privacy. We are developing technology to do just that."
Song is also extending the BitBlaze approach to improve security in networked medical devices and embedded systems.
The MacArthur grant will allow her to explore other areas of computer security and computer science, she says, although she has not determined the nature of those ventures. "The grant will be of great help in enabling me to do work that I otherwise may not be able to do," she notes.
Song says she never wants to stop exploring new ideas: "From China to the United States, from physics to computer science, I always enjoy getting into new environments and new areas, because they propel my learning."

I know what you are thinking. It's only October so who in the heck is already thinking about the Holidays?!?!?! (Pick me, pick me!) I have to admit. I am obsessed with the Holidays. I love everything about the last few months of the year and it's on my brain 24-7. My Christmas list is already halfway done so naturally I have already been thinking about my holiday cards as well! I am awful at sending out cards so I figured if I ordered them NOW, I can work on a few at a time and then it's not so overwhelming and I might just get them completed and mailed out by December this year! I was able to review a set of 30 cards from Mixbook and I was very impressed with how simple it was!
I am not very creative so thankfully Mixbook offers a large number of templates that you can use! If you are more savvy than I am, however, you can design your own from scratch!! I chose one that was PERFECT for my family and within 15 minutes, I had them designed and ordered. I was so shocked to see them in my mailbox just a few days later. It seriously cannot get much better than that! I tried to take a good picture of the card so you could see it but I kept getting a glare but you can still see how great it turned out!! It also came with 30 blank envelopes so I am all set!!!!
Are you looking for a simple, affordable place to order your Holiday cards this year?! Definitely check out Mixbook!!! Also be sure to connect with them on their Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter @Mixbook!!! I have noticed they offer promo codes at times so if you link up with them you might be able to snag up a good deal!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

The Balance Must Balance
Having had endless trouble with balance of payment deficits ever since the war, it is no wonder that the British public is ready and eager to listen to any proposals which are claimed to provide a solution of that problem. I have often wondered what proportion of those in Britain who are in favour of joining the Common Market are in favour of it because they have been persuaded, or have succeeded in persuading themselves, that once we are inside the EEC our balance of payments worries would become a matter of the past. British industries would have at their disposal a large area in which, they assume, it would be as easy to sell as in the domestic markets. Although the EEC, even in its enlarged form, is not expected to be self-supporting, its member countries (including Britain) would depend on their exports to countries outside their common customs territory to a much smaller degree.

Another day of rest for Justin Amlung already.
The University of Louisville-UConn baseball game has been rescheduled for Friday because Thursday's South Florida-Pittsburgh game was interrupted for several hours by a thunderstorm
Dan McDonnell, who rarely has rainouts at home (even when it's raining), should invite the Big East Tournament to Louisville. Inclement weather always plays havoc with the games in Florida.
If the storm is related to Hurricane Beryl, Amlung could still be waiting until Saturday or Sunday.

José G B Derraik
Dr José Derraik was born in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), but moved to New Zealand in 1995. José has a very broad academic background, with a BSc and MSc in Ecology from the University of Otago (New Zealand), and a PhD in Public Health (University of Otago). His MSc examined invertebrate biodiversity in human-modified habitats. His PhD focused on vector ecology, more precisely on mosquitoes in New Zealand and how the threat of a mosquito-borne disease outbreak has been affected by ongoing anthropogenic environmental change. José then worked as a Senior Advisor for MAF Biosecurity NZ, where he provided expert advice to the NZ government on biosecurity threats to human health.
In 2008, José joined the Liggins Institute (University of Auckland) where he has been working on paediatric research, as well as on a number of clinical trials in adolescents and adults at risk of metabolic disease. His research focuses primarily on the long-term effects of early life events (such as preterm or post-term birth) in childhood. However, José has recently been appointed as an honorary research associate at Uppsala University in Sweden, where alongside his Swedish colleagues he has been examining also the long-term effects of early life events in adulthood.
Lastly, José is currently involved in a large multi-institutional project (A Better Start) in New Zealand, with a leading role in a number of studies aiming to predict, prevent, and mitigate childhood obesity in the country.

Are we being watched?
December 5, 2006
Everywhere we go, every high street we walk down, we are being watched, people are watching every camera, CCTV is taking over the Uk and the world, In fact the UK alone has over 20% of CCTV camera's in the world. This makes UK the most watched nation in the world. In the UK there is one CCTV camera for every 12 people, that makes over 5 million camera's. There are many good and bad outcomes of being watched, I am only mentioning two, one is that by being watched crimes have dropped by up to 60% since 1995, also many more murders or attacks have been brought to justice. Knowing you are being watched comforts some people, on the other hand people are saying that government are deciding to use the surveillance to their ability. The government said shoppers may watched and scanned as they enter stores, school students could bring in cards allowing parents to monitor what their children eat. These camera's in the street all can be rotated with a joystick, by turning the joystick a man could see a murder or an attack happen, if this part of the street wasn't being watched then nothing would be done towards the murder. Also some camera's now even have infrared and sound detection, there is no hiding! Camera's catch you around 300 times if you spend a whole day walking around central London, also they can read number plates and scan your face into a database. Do you want to get falsely accused of a crime and your face come up on the computer, neither do I, what do you think?

We will spend a memorable winter adventure. With the oldest transportation - snowshoes you will delve into winter tale of the most beautiful Bulgarian mountains in Rila. We will climb Kamen Del – a great panoramic view of Sofia and the symbol of Bulgarian alpinism – Maliovitsa.
Day 1.
We'll start the day with a short shuttle (30 min.) to Golden Bridges - the starting point of today's transition, where he will meet this unique device - snowshoes and techniques to move with them. After walking on well-shaped forest trail for about thirty minutes, we will reach the neat hut Momina Skala, built in a very picturesque place. After a short break we will keep on reaching our main goal - Kamen Del peak (1862 m asl). Path after the cabin becomes more steep, vegetation more dense and varied. Just when we start to feel tired, we will go out over the wooded belt, a vast plateau Vitoshko. Soon we will reach the peak Kamen Del - the highest point of today's transition. Our efforts will be rewarded with an unforgettable panoramic view. Like on a palm in front of us stretches the entire capital - distinguish the golden domes of Al. Nevsky, the old TV tower, NPC, and in the distance bleaching peaks of Stara Planina. We will continue walking towards Aleko hut in Vitosha spacious plateau, enjoying the view of the mountain leader - Black Peak. Our ultimate goal is Aleko hut, where we will be transported to the mountain resort Malyovitsa.
Overnight in 3 *** hotel.
Walking time: 3.30h
Day 2.
After a breakfast we will continue towards Maliovitsa hut. For about an hour the trail will take us through the picturesque valley Malyovishka. Short break and continue upward. Soon we will reach the first, then the second terrace where we will stop and enjoy the captivating views of the surrounding rocky peaks. From this point the trail will get steep but reaching crystal clear lake Elenino. Not long after we will be on Malyovitsa peak (2729 m asl) - the symbol of Bulgarian alpinism. The view is stunning. On a clear day we will see the Rila Monastery, the snowy peaks of Pirin circus of Urdini Lakes ... We will be going back on the same route to the mountain resort Malyovitsa, where we will be transported to the city center.
Walking time: 7h
Necessary equipment: backpack (40 liters); thermal underwear; hiking shoes with waterproof "breathable" membrane; "Fleece" water and wind resistant jacket and pants (possibly with "breathable" membrane, Gore-tex or equivalent); winter hat; gloves; sun-protective lotion (UV factor over 30); sunglasses (100% UV protection).
