An interesting security hole has been discovered that allows people to circumvent iOS Carrier.plist file checks by creating, modifying, and restoring a backup file. The example presented iTweakiOS uses the hack to enable tethering without having to go through a carrier.
The iOS Carrier.plist file is responsible for a number of carrier related-settings, including device tethering. iTweaksiOS modified the value of the cellular gateway used for tethering so data could be directed to go through the gateway used for normal device traffic instead.
CommCenter, the iOS service responsible for handling network connectivity, normally performs a signature check on the Carrier.plist to ensure it has not been tampered with. However, modifying it on a backup file and then restoring the modified backup worked to circumvent the check. While it is unclear why it's possible to get around the signature check this way, it seems likely that Apple will fix this with the public release of iOS 7 this fall.
(In case anyone is tempted to try the hack in the meantime, be warned that carriers have been known to start billing users for tethering if they suspect you of tethering illicitly.)

Heavy Cloud No Rain Lyrics
Artist: Sting & Police
Album: Ten Summoner's Tales
Turned on the weather man just after the news
I needed sweet rain to wash away my blues
He looked at the chart, but he looked in vain
Heavy cloud, but no rain
Back in time with Louis XVI
At the court of the people he was number one
He'd be the bluest blood they'd ever seen
When the king said, 'Hi' to the guillotine
The royal astrologer was run out of breath
He thought that maybe the rain would postpone his death
He look in the sky, but he look in vain
Heavy cloud, but no rain
Well the land was cracking and the river was dry
All the crops were dying when they ought to be high
So to save his farm from the banker's draft
The farmer took out a book on some old witchcraft
He made a spell and a potion on a midsummer's night
He killed a brindled calf in the pale moonlight
He prayed to the sky, but he prayed in vain
Heavy cloud, but no rain
The sun won't shine till the clouds are gone
The clouds won't go till their work is done
And every morning you'll hear me pray
'If only it would rain today'
I asked my baby if there'd be some way
She said she save her love for a rainy day
So I look in the sky, but I look in vain
Heavy cloud, but no rain

Imagine 007 walking into a room filled with deadly gadgets and weapons with Q, the Quartermaster. This mission, Mr. Bond, if you choose to accept it, will put a big dent in the battle against hearing loss.
One of the weapons you will employ looks like a writing instrument. It's called the Roger Pen, and it's made by a company called Phonak.
It may look like a pen, Mr. Bond. But looks can be deceiving – there is a lot more to the Roger Pen than meets the eye and we believe that it's going to improve the lives of people who are dealing with hearing loss issues.
This may sound like a thriller straight out of a movie theatre but the Roger Pen is very real. And the best part – you don't need to be a secret agent in order to get your hands on one.
According to the website and press release, Roger by Phonak is a new digital wireless standard that helps hearing aid users to understand 62 per cent more (in noise and over distance) than those individuals with normal hearing. It can be used as a stand-alone microphone or alongside other Roger Pens or the Roger Clip-On Mic. It also features Bluetooth technology for cell-phone calling, and can also be used to listen to TV and multimedia. It uses cutting-edge wireless microphones to pick up the voice of the speaker and transmit it wirelessly over 2.4 GHz to miniature ear-level receivers.
Hearing loss is a huge problem that affects millions of people around the world. In the United States alone, Stanford University says that approximately 36 million American adults — 17 per cent of the entire population — report some degree of hearing loss.
Linda Thibodeau, a Ph.D professor at the University of Texas at Dallas, describes her findings of this new technology that allows people with hearing loss to hear and understand speech better than those with normal hearing. The finding is evident in cases where conditions are most challenging for people with hearing loss: in noise and over distance.
M.J. DeSousa, Connect Hearing's Director of Professional Practice, is pleased to see advances in new technology that can make an impact in the battle against hearing loss.
"It's always a thrill to see the impact hard work of scientists, researchers and doctors have in the fight against hearing loss," says DeSousa, adding that Connect Hearing offers free hearing tests to people at clinics across Canada. "The contributions of researchers like Dr. Linda Thibodeau have really helped to refine the technology that goes into products like the Roger Pen. I'm really excited at the difference this product is going to make in people's lives."
The study focused on 11 adults, aged 16 to 78, with moderate-to-severe hearing loss, fitted with behind-the-ear hearing aids of different brands. Roger enabled people with hearing aids to hear even better than those with normal hearing from 65dB, with one participant who went from 0 to 90 per cent (at 75 dB) and from 0 to 58 per cent (at 80 dB) speech recognition with Roger.
This is extremely encouraging news. In an earlier 2010 report,
Thibodeau's research discovered that Phonak's adaptive Dynamic FM systems improved the speech in noise performance of hearing instrument users by up to 50 percentage points more than traditional fixed FM systems. Thibodeau tested five adults and five students with moderate-to-severe hearing loss.
Headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland, Phonak, a member of the Sonova Group, has developed, produced and globally distributed state-of-the-art hearing systems and wireless devices for more than 60 years. Maarten Barmentlo, Group Vice President Marketing for Phonak, said in the press release that the company was "extremely proud" of this achievement and are keen to see the impact Roger will have on people's lives.
"Restoring people's hearing is our mission, and we strive to do more, do better for those with hearing loss," says Barmentlo. "To provide better hearing in noise is in our DNA. By giving people an advantage beyond even those with no hearing loss we made the impossible possible."
Here are a couple of testimonials for the Roger Pen:


text: One Pasco County School Board incumbent has decided not to pursue another term, while two others have announced their 2018 reelection bids.Steve Luikart, often a dissenting voice on some of the board�s more contentious issues, said Wednesday he will not seek a third term representing District 5 serving northwest Pasco.Luikart, a retired assistant principal, said after eight years on the board and 32 year inside the schools, the time had come to spend more time traveling and fishing with his family.He viewed his tenure as positive, saying he brought a perspective to district issues that other members did not share. He acknowledged having not accomplished all of his goals, though, most particularly his inability to get the district to fix problems at Ridgewood High rather than close and repurpose the struggling school.Now, Luikart said, someone else can bring a fresh perspective to bear."You asked me a while back if I believe in term limits, and I told you �yes,�" he said, adding if he wants to participate in the future, "I still get three minutes and a yellow (speaker sign up) card if I go to a board meeting."Already, two people have filed paperwork to run for the seat. They are law student Kassie Hutchinson, a former Pinellas County teacher, and Mike Aday, a Pasco middle school teacher.Luikart said a couple of other people contacted him about their interest, but he would not reveal their names.Fellow incumbents Allen Altman and Cynthia Armstrong, meanwhile, aim to continue on the board.Altman, the board�s longest tenured member, filed his paperwork three days into the new year to pursue a fourth term representing east Pasco�s District 1.First elected in 2006, Altman said he also wants to continue the board�s efforts to expand school choices for students while maintaining the district�s strong financial position.Altman has been a vocal proponent for maintaining at least a 5 percent budget reserve fund, even when it meant cutting programs or limiting employee salaries. The district has kept solid bond ratings as a result, even as surrounding school systems have struggled."I�m really more excited about the future and some of the ideas that are being explored, and some of the out-of-the-box things we�re looking at," Altman said, adding that an east-side technical school remains at the top of his list.He acknowledged a push in some corners of the state to limit school board members to two terms.But understanding education funding can take years, he observed. Plus, he added, over his 12 years in office he has made connections with other leaders around Florida who can help accomplish the district�s goals, and offer new ideas."Experience is extremely important, and it is knowledge that you cannot buy," Altman said.Retiree Brian Staver also has filed to run for the District 1 seat.Armstrong made her plans known to seek a third term in the District 3 seat, representing south-central Pasco, back in July. She faces one challenger, political newcomer Meghan Hamer.A real estate agent, Armstrong said she is focused on the district�s population growth and wants to make sure the school system is prepared to cope with the student influx. Part of that effort means providing plenty of academic options for families, she said: "I believe in public education, and I want to do everything I can to make sure Pasco County public schools are the best they can be."Qualifying for the Aug. 28 election takes place in June.Contact Jeffrey S.

by Christine Rotonda, PMP, PMINJ Newsletter Editor
As we return to work renewed from our summer vacations, a new season begins and excitement is in the air! I witnessed a huge lightning bolt sizzle through the sky during one of our Jersey summer storms, and the theme for this newsletter, Connection, occurred to me. Our VP of Membership, Elizabeth Carfagno, confirms in her article for the newsletter, PMINJ is a large chapter. Many of us already realize the benefits of connecting with other professionals, but we expect many more from our group sharing news, celebrations and support. Our chapter is spread across a vast area, but every one of us is important to the chapter. We want each member to partake in PMINJ networking opportunities. Our monthly meetings are a great place to start. There are also many other ways to connect. Be creative and give some a try. If you can make one new connection this week, and consistently repeat the process, you'll get an explosion of value out of your membership.
Happy Reading!
As of June 2012, the PMINJ Chapter has grown to over
4,600 members. We are a strong Chapter supported
not only by our many members, but especially those who
volunteer their time to keep the Chapter running and
bring us great events throughout the year.
Currently you are able to view our Chapters open
volunteer opportunities listed on the Chapter
website. In September the PMINJ Chapter will begin
piloting the Volunteer Relationship Management System
(VRMS) for posting our open volunteer positions.
Last year, PMI introduced the VRMS globally to all members. The system design allows members the capability to search both global and local volunteer opportunities. When you apply for an opportunity, your profile, current certifications, previous volunteer positions, events attended, and awards achieved are shared with the owner of the posting. The system also allows you to upload your current resume for submission along with your volunteer application. Finally, the system tracks the volunteer postings you applied for and provides your current status.
The VRMS is easily accessible from the PMI website (www.pmi.org). Once logged in, you will find the link to the VRMS under the "Get Involved" link from the home page menu bar. PMI also provides user guides and training videos to assist updating your personal information, apply for and track your volunteer applications.
PMINJ volunteer opportunities are expected to be included in the system by mid-September. We hope you take the time to familiarize yourself with this new tracking system and take advantage of the many volunteer opportunities at the global and local levels. If you have any questions regarding updating your information or applying for a position, you can contact the VRMS support team directly by selecting the feedback link at the top right of the VRMS home page. You may also contact Nikki John (PMINJ Director of Volunteers) with questions at .
Thanks to all who already volunteer. You've helped grow and evolve our Chapter to what it is today, a beneficial community of professionals. For those of you who have not yet had the opportunity, I hope you will find the time to get involved as a volunteer in the future. It is the time and talent of our volunteer members who bring about the success we enjoy as a Chapter.
Ironic as it sounds, with the beginning of the fall
season, there comes new beginnings. The fall brings
a new school year, a new program year for PMINJ, and for
several members of the PMINJ Board of Directors, a new
term to serve the chapter and its members.
During the summer the chapter membership elected four vice presidents to the PMINJ Board. Effective September 1, 2012, their two-year terms officially began. Two new vice presidents have been elected. Sandra Baptiste was elected Vice President Administration. Debbie Heger formerly held the role. May I extend my thanks and appreciation to Debbie for her years of service and dedication to the chapter and the Board. Also newly elected to the Board is Frank Mead. Frank is Vice President of Professional Development & Training. Ava Heuer formerly held the role for 14 years! My sincere appreciation and gratitude go out to Ava for her dedication and service to PMINJ.
Holding the position of Vice President Symposium, Deven Trivedi returns to serve the PMINJ members by providing outstanding symposia with innovative topics and speakers. The position of Vice President Finance is held by Patricia Bonanni, who is also returning to the Board for another term.
As a vice president is newly elected he/she is able to select Director(s), with Board approval, to assist them in their goals and objectives for their area of responsibility.
Appointed Directors and their area of service as of September 5, 2012 are as follows:
Professional Development & Training:
Also at the September 5 meeting, Barbara nominated a new director:
The remaining Vice Presidents and Directors will continue
with their current positions for another year:
I too am continuing into year two in my term as President
to serve PMINJ, its members, and the PMINJ Board.
I want to express my thanks and best wishes for success to the newly elected vice presidents and approved directors. Good luck to all PMINJ Board members, those new to the Board and those continuing with their roles. The chapter members and the Board are all an integral part of the project management community within New Jersey. Welcome to a new program year and term!
Meglaughlin of Atlantic Health Systems was the winner of
PMINJ Chapters Project Manager of the Year award! The
award was presented by Eric Stetson and Srimal Ekkadu
during the June PMINJ monthly meeting at the Hilton
By committee vote, Danielle Meglaughlin earned this award. She is the embodiment of a true Project Management Professional. In 2011 she led a mission-critical project that involved the replacement of 70 individual systems and the integration of a recently acquired organization which had to be completed in less than 8 months due to regulatory requirements. Even though there where several challenges, including requirement changes, Danielle always maintained her professionalism, drive and sense of humor to deliver the project with success. Based on the letter of recommendation received for Danielle, she earned the respect and admiration of everyone involved in the project.
The PMINJ Community Outreach Team will conduct a warm
clothes drive during the PMINJ IPM [International Project
Management] Day event on November 1, 2012.
Several times during the year the team has "New Jersey Cares" initiatives where volunteers from PMINJ reach out to help those in need in the community.
In the past we have done food drives to help stock food pantries across New Jersey during the holiday season and recently in the summer months.
This new initiative is in collaboration with the United Way of New Jersey's program 'Gifts of the Season'. It entails collecting new:
Women, Men and Children's:
It is simple to help. All those that are attending IPM
day on November 1st should bring their donation of new
items to the Community Outreach Table.
Many thanks to Sandy Seidorf for her idea for this initiative and for taking the lead to make it happen. You can help by volunteering to staff the collection table along with Sandy. Let her know that you will be a volunteer by contacting her at .
PMINJ, the Community Outreach team and the community need more volunteers like Sandy, if you are interested contact us at .
Join PMINJ's celebration of International Project
Management (IPM) Day on November, 1, 2012 at The Palace in
Somerset Park, NJ
This 7th IPM Day also marks PMINJ's 30th Anniversary!
Confirmed speakers include Keynote Peter Monkhouse, Chair of the 2012 PMI Board of Directors and Martha Legare CEO of the Gantt Group as well as an Agile afternoon workshop presented by Sally Elatta, President of Agile Transformation.
While opening the Chapters 26th Annual Symposium, which
was a sold out event on May 7, 2012 at the Pines Manor in
Edison, New Jersey, the Judy Balaban, PMINJ Chapter
President, and Deven Trivedi, VP of Symposium, welcomed
over 600 enthusiastic participants. The theme
"Strategic Project Management" enabled the Symposium
committee to provide tools and knowledge to the local PM
Eric Verzuh was the opening keynote speaker, , He energized attendees as he discussed the evolution of project management in the work place. It went from being not quite visible in the 1980s as PM 1.0 to the current PM 4.0 version which is geared towards delivering strategic value for corporations. Eric spurred the audience into an in-depth analysis of the "Seven Strengths to Power Innovation".
The afternoon keynote speaker, Terry Schmidt, brought the participants together for another invigorating discussion on "Applying Strategic PM in Work and Life". Terry showed the audience how they could use a logical framework to assess and deliver project value.
Frank Ryle's closing keynote "Simplicity Project Management – an approach for the Pros" challenged PMs to keep things simple in an environment of ever increasing complexity. Frank elaborated his Simplicity message by providing nine steps and symbols to follow.
Symposium participants had the option to enhance their knowledge base via three strategically planned tracks throughout the day; Strategic Project Management, Strategic Leadership and Strategic Processes and Tools.
The Strategic Project Management track was led by Skip Weissman. Skip's three-pronged approach was developed for a Stadium build project; start to finish in just over 70 days! Skip described how a leading organization starts with a Vision Strategy, is bolstered with excellent personnel, performance management standards and backed by leadership with a focus on teamwork development. Skip presented a twist on the Pareto Principle by advising participants to focus on the 80% that you can control, with 20% being what you can influence, a perfect segue to the next session.
Dale Caldwell's Influence Driven Strategic Project Management session moved beyond SWOT to present his highly innovative "Influence Awareness" model and encourage participants to raise their influence intelligence. Dale compelled attendees to consider their individual influences. Dale suggested that to innovate, one must seek people who think differently. In essence, Dale provided a formula to build the Learning Organization from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence. Even without authority, PMs can use vision and goals to innovatively influence projects and deliver business value.
In the third session, Aaron Shenhar emphasized the need for strategic project leadership as an approach to next generation project management. The project manager needs to be flexible and adaptive, and be an advocate of the business goals and hence be an inspiration to the project team.
On the Strategic Leadership track, Michael O'Brachta with his background in the CIA provided a very entertaining perspective on the top 10 factors associated with great project managers. Mike spoke about the famous Shakleton story of men stranded on the ice during winter and how he went to each member to ensure they had his support and knew exactly what to do which contributed to their survival. Mike referred to this as "servant leadership" and emphasized that project managers who develop this skill combined with an executive decision making style are more successful. Mike's mantra, "What can I do to help?" and the top 10 factors he shared: meet the needs of others, be heroes with a plan, employ process with discipline, be servant leaders, work on successful projects, succeed broadly, deal with complexity, spend more time communicating, reduce cycle time, and master the soft skills.
Star Dargin further clarified the key aspects of leadership for a strategic project manager by elaborating on three unique styles of management – leader, coach and manager. In her interactive session, Star demonstrated how these three leadership styles can be applied based on project context and team needs by an effective project leader. Star quoted Paul Hawkins, "Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them".
Brian Jaffa shared his real life experiences when he took a leap from IT to the Business side at Quest Diagnostics and challenged the tremendous unknowns on the "other side". He had to meet quotas and build a new India R&D test center from scratch. Brian went from eliciting requirements to providing them and building revenue pipelines. He was successful in stretching his abilities to build a new Greenfield India test center. Brian's examples demonstrated project managers as strategic leaders, and how we can apply skills to all aspects of business.
The third track at the symposium on Strategic Tools and Processes provided a good roadmap on the path to strategic leadership and management, beginning with Mark Layton's informational discussion on how Agile QA processes are changing project management and allowing teams to deliver products faster with higher customer satisfaction.
Kathy Haas zeroed in on the strategic roles of Business Analysts (BA) and how to make this discipline align with Project Management in building successful project strategies. Kathy made the point that project management is increasingly complex with the new business models in the global age. Business success requires critical thinkers who can innovate, collaborate, and leverage complexity to compete. Creativity is the most important leadership quality per a recent CEO study and projects succeed by closing the gaps in business analysis. There needs to be a change in the project approach to provide a competitive advantage. Kathy described four steps to a successful approach:
The BA keeps the focus on strategic value and the PM on
complexity management to partner as creative leaders.
The event hosted 24 vendor exhibitors, Chapter Communities of Practice (CoP) and Local Community of Interest (LCI) booths that provided participants opportunities for networking with 600+ area Project Managers.
In closing, Jerry Flach, Symposium Director thanked the 50+ volunteers for their dedication to make this event a grand success and challenged attendees to become chapter volunteers. The post-event survey indicated more than 93% of the respondents, believed that PMINJ 2012 Symposium had met or exceeded their expectations
Barbara A. Fuller, PMINJ Marketing VP, and members of her
Marketing Team, have a strategic objective to increase
Corporate Outreach in 2012. The PMINJ Marketing Team
formed a partnership several years ago with Merck, a major
pharmaceutical organization based in Whitehouse, NJ. This
year our chapter was invited by Tina Gertsch, coordinator
of the Merck annual Project Management Day, to participate
in their 2012 event.
One of the PMINJ goals in participating in Corporate Outreach events is to increase local corporate knowledge of the capabilities offered by PMI and the New Jersey Chapter. Dennis McCarthy, the newly appointed Director of Corporate Outreach commented "the event was very well attended and very well organized. Interest in Project Management Professional (PMP) certification was high, as was interest in other certifications in other areas of Project Management such as Agile or CAPM. Many people were asking about membership in the PMINJ Chapter, and many were impressed that we offer free monthly programs at satellite locations around the state to make it easier to attend. Given the interest in certification, the fact that PMINJ sponsors PMP preparation courses appealed to many Merck attendees as well".
Excerpts from his 12 easy ways to Earn PDUs
After earning your Project Management Professional (PMP) or Program Management Professional (PgMP) credential you are required to earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every 3 years. We explore 12 simple methods in which you can earn PDUs easily and relatively inexpensively.
[Note: This is an update to the article "10 Easy Ways to Earn PDUs" that was published in July 2010. The update is necessary because PMI changed the categories, structure and policies governing Professional Development Units (PDUs).
PDUs we need and PDUs we want. Professional Development Units (PDUs) dominate our minds, our conversations, and our spare time in the last quarter before our Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) deadline. With a little proactive planning we can all make the PDU procurement process much easier. The bottom line is that we want the fast and consistent path to our PDUs… and we want them now!
How do we accomplish this? By just 'doing' what 'you do'. The easiest way to earn PDUs is to leverage what you currently do. Here is a short list of PDU eligible activities that might already be part of your professional life.
For the details on PDU categories mentioned below refer to the CCR section of the PMP Handbook, which can be found at http://www.pmi.org/certification/~/media/pdf/certifications/pdc_pmphandbook.ashx
1. Your Day Job (PDU Category F)
If you work as a Project Manager this is probably the easiest way to tick off up to 25% of the PDUs you'll need at the end of the recertification cycle. If you are a practitioner of project management services for at least 6 months each year, you can claim up to 5 PDUs per year for a maximum total of 15 PDUs per three year period..
2. Volunteer Service (PDU Category E)
Become a volunteer of your local project management association (either as an elected officer, as a committee member or by managing a project for them) and earn 1 PDU for each hour of service. Note that the PDUs earned in this category count towards the combined maximum of 45 PDUs for categories D, E and F. A letter or certificate from the organization acknowledging the participation is required for confirmation.
3. Formal Academic Training (PDU Category B)
Formal Academic educational courses related to Project Management can earn you 10 to 15 PDUs per semester. It's one of the easier categories, as long as you are not financially challenged. If you are, there may well be project management related courses offered at your local community college that are more economical than the state and private collegiate institutions. The transcript or grade report is required for confirmation.
4. Create new Project Management Knowledge (PDU Category D)
There is a lot you can do in this category to earn PDUs. You could be authoring or co-authoring articles, books or newsletters, present a webinar or podcast, or create and present a project management course. Each will earn you PDUs. The rule is that every hour spent in preparing and delivering these activities is equal to one PDU. The PDUs claimed in this category count toward the 45 PDU maximum for categories D, E and F.
5. Turning CEU's into PDUs (PDU Category B)
Like Formal Academic Training, Continuing Education (CE) can be submitted as PDUs. Unlike Formal Academic Training, CE's are courses that comply with IACET standards. CEU's (Continuing Education Units) can be converted to PDUs; generally at a ratio of 1 CEU to 10 PDUs. Your best bet is to confirm with the provider that the course you are interested in complies with the ANSI/IACET 1-2007 Standard and of course it must be about project management.
6. Self-Study (PDU Category C)
Do you consume a lot of materials like reading articles or books, watching videos or CD ROMs? Or do you have formal discussions with colleagues or customers? Or did you recently get coached? If you participated in any of these activities and the topic at hand was relevant to project management, had a specified purpose and used knowledgeable resources then you can claim 1 PDU for each hour spent on this as "self study". There is a maximum of 30 PDUs for this and any other Category C activities.
7. Leverage PDU Activities (PDU Category - Multiple)
One of the best ways to proactively plan your PDUs is to get creative and leverage one PDU opportunity upon another. For example, if you attend a PMI Chapter Meeting you will earn PDUs (Category A). Why not piggy-back on that PDU opportunity by taking an active role as a volunteer at the registration desk (Category E). This way, you will have used one event to generate PDUs in different categories. Don't be afraid to get creative and leverage PDU opportunities as much as you can.
So there you have it….

Ibrahimovic has '90% chance' of facing Rennes
Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in contention to return as Paris Saint-Germain look to seal the Ligue 1 title against Rennes next Wednesday.
Ibrahimovic has missed PSG's last six games because of a hamstring injury sustained in their 3-1 UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg win over Chelsea at the beginning of the month.
The Sweden striker's absence was felt as Laurent Blanc's men succumbed to elimination from the Champions League in the second leg against Chelsea, who beat PSG 2-0 at Stamford Bridge to progress on away goals.
PSG's performances minus Ibrahimovic have been largely disappointing, with Sunday's 1-1 draw at Sochaux acting as another illustration of their lack of firepower without the former Barcelona and Juventus man.
But the defending Ligue 1 champions, who can retain their crown with a win over Rennes or if Monaco fail to beat Guingamp on the same day, could soon be boosted by the return of Ibrahimovic, who is described by the club doctor as having a "90 per cent chance" of facing Philippe Montanier's men.
"He has resumed running and there is a 90 per cent chance that he will be at the coach's disposal in 10 days," PSG doctor Eric Rolland told L'Equipe.
Ibrahimovic has scored 40 goals in 43 games for PSG this season.

For Mrs. Tout Tou Bounthapanya, the Rev. Khampheng Mitpasa, and the Rev. Sharon Stanley, clean water is deeply personal. Three of a team preparing for a Living Waters for the World (LWW) clean water system installation in Laos, they each know what it is for life to depend upon clean water.
The three are attending LWW's inaugural Clean Water U West, at Calvin Crest Conferences in Oakhurst, Calif.
Clean Water U is the training program of Living Waters for the World — a ministry of the Synod of Living Waters — "where volunteers learn to be trainers to teach people how to install and maintain clean water systems and deliver clean water to communities in desperate need," says LWW Director, Wil Howie.
The original Clean Water U campus is located at Hopewell Camp and Conference Center in Oxford, Miss. Having two campuses now allows LWW to train even more volunteers.
Bounthapanya is now comfortably living in the burgeoning Laotian immigrant community in Fresno, Calif., working as a job developer at Fresno Interdenominational Refugee Ministries (FIRM).
But as a child she was one of the many Laotians sent to "reeducation" camps, well acquainted with hunger and thirst.
Arriving at the camp as a three-year-old, she grew up with a daily struggle to find food and water, carrying water twice daily from a nearby river. She often drank water from whatever source was available at the moment, drinking rainwater left standing in the imprint of a water buffalo's hoof or in the crater left by an American bomb from the Vietnam War.
Mrs. Bounthapanya didn't understand that water was full of germs and parasites. "I brushed the leaves and mosquito larvae aside to drink what I thought was clean water," she recalls.
By the time she left the camp for the Philippines at age fourteen, she was emaciated, riddled with contaminated water-borne worms and bacteria. "I was sick with diarrhea and vomiting, with lots of worms. I even remember one worm coming up into my mouth. It was a wonder I survived."
The opportunity to go to Laos for an LWW clean water system installation is an opportunity for gratitude for Mrs. Bounthapanya. "I feel I survived my childhood for a purpose and bringing clean water to Laos is a part of that purpose," she said.
As a part of this eight-person mission team, she will be teaching about the dangers of contaminated water, the source of many illnesses in her native country. "I thank God that I now have this knowledge to share," she said in her bubbly manner. Today, Mrs. Bounthapanya is healthy and thrilled to be able to help others avoid water-borne illness.
The Rev. Khampheng Mitpasa is a pastor in the Lao Evangelical Church (LEC) in Laos. He will welcome the installation team from America when they arrive. It is the LEC that has the strong relationship with the Luangprabang Teacher Training College in Luangprabang Province, Laos, where the LWW team from Fresno will be installing the clean water system.
Mitpasa participated in Clean Water U West on a grant from LWW's International Scholarship Fund, which covered his tuition, room and board. University Presbyterian Church in Fresno covered his travel expenses.
Amazed to be in Oakhurst, he said, "I find it so great to be able to come here. I never dreamed I would be able to learn about clean water systems. My hope is that, from this first installation we will grow and be able to do other installations in cities and villages."
Participants hope the installation will be a prototype for future efforts in Laos. "We seek to strengthen relationships around the country in hopes of doing other installations elsewhere. I hope that once this clean water system is installed, more of the Lao people will get clean water to drink," Mitpasa said.
He has personally seen the illnesses that come from contaminated water. He said the LEC wants to work to end those illnesses and give children a chance to grow and learn, adding to the stability and economic security of small cities and villages.
The trip's Fresno team leader is the Rev. Sharon Stanley who is the executive director of FIRM. She founded the ministry 20 years ago to address the ongoing needs of refugees as they settled in Fresno.
Refugee needs are many: how to become a citizen, financial literacy, child care, language access, and affordable housing, to name a few.
Another ministry has grown out of FIRM at University Presbyterian Church in Fresno, where Stanley is a parish associate: Lao Partners, which engages in direct outreach to Laos. Lao Partners have been traveling to Laos for 10 years, building relationships, helping Christian congregations, working with literacy programs, and assisting with the teaching of English as a Second Language.
Stanley first heard of LWW when she traveled to Baja, Mexico on a mission trip with Presbyterian partners from Virginia. She took a group of Laotian youth from Fresno to work on a housing project in a community in Baja.
While constructing a home, her own water bottle was borrowed by resident children and, unknowing to her, became contaminated with E. Coli. Stanley drank water from the bottle and became infected, the resulting infection leading to multiple surgeries and the ultimate loss of reproductive ability.
The next year, the mission team returned to the same Baja community and installed a LWW clean water system in addition to building houses. During the water system celebration, Stanley recalls, "The pastor of the church shared that 50% of children in their poor community die because they drink contaminated water. I felt at that moment that my unborn children had also died, also because of contaminated water there. This inspired me to help keep such deaths from happening to others in the future, too."
That's why for Bounthapanya, Mitpasa and Stanley clean water is personal. Each has a profound sense of God's grace that drives them to bring the means of clean water to those who are without it. Their own harsh experiences with dirty water have become the gifts they now offer to others so that clean water may flow.
The Rev. Janet Tuck is communications director for the Synod of Living Waters and a frequent contributor to Presbyterian News Service.

Doc Bob
I truly appreciate your responding to my first inquiry about fellatio risks. As a quick follow up (and a pushing of my luck that you will answer this) I ask if you feel risk is heightened when those performing fellatio fail to swallow or spit the semen out. Take a person who gets it in the back of the throat and they are frightened of swallowing it, but it is too far back there to spit it out, and it just sits in the tissues (in the tonsils/ back of throat...etc). Does this person have legitimate concern about hiv infection - more so than someone who simply spits or swallows?
Response from Dr. Frascino
Spit, swallow, or stuck to the back of the throat like super glue? Hmmmmm . . . . As you can imagine, there are no scientific data to give you an exact reply. My opinion is that there is little difference in risk for someone who spits or swallows. There is a potential increased risk for keeping HIV-infected ejaculate in contact with mucous membranes for protracted periods of time. And remember, this is the Fatigue and Anemia Forum, not the "Safer Sex Tips Hotline!"
Stay well.
Dr. Bob
Health nut has anemia?!

Today is the 3rd day of our Sweet Peeks getting ready for the Sweet N Sassy stamps release on June 1. The set we are previewing today is called Beauty by the Sea.
I created the background panel by stamping 3 different shells in caramel, baja, and celery ink onto some cryogen white cardstock. I then sponged and sewed the edges.
For the focal image I stamped the scripture with caramel ink, stamped the shell over top of the scripture with celery ink and then sponged baja ink around the verse while the die was still in the nestabilities.
I love the seashells images and sentiments included in this set. The whole set is so serene. I think it is going to be great for creating some beautiful cards and I believe you will think so as well.
Be sure to stop by the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps blog to see what other lovely creations the DT has to share with you featuring this beautiful new set.
I also want to mention that now through Monday, May 30th all of Sweet N Sassy stamps clear and digital stamps are 15% off with coupon code MEMDAY11.
I will be back again tomorrow with a sweet peek of another set for you. Thanks for dropping by and hope to see you back tomorrow!

Help Me Add More Variety to the Starches & Grains I Eat
Q: Our home cooked meals tend to include a starch dish — one of potato, pasta, or rice. I recently tried mixing it up by using pearl barley which I toasted dry in a saucepan before cooking. It was delicious!
What other grains (or similar) can I use to introduce some more variety? (Also, my wife has Ménière's Disease, which is controlled by a low sodium diet, so recipes low in sodium are preferred.)
Sent by Timothy
Editor: Timothy, quinoa is another good choice, high in protein and delicious. Try this sweet and crunchy quinoa salad (pictured above) or a Black Bean and Heirloom Tomato Quinoa with Lemon Dressing. (That salad is a good one; remember lemon is an excellent flavor substitute for salt in some recipes.)
Readers, what else would you suggest to Timothy?

The end of 2016 has brought an outbreak of mange among our local foxes, particularly focused around the Park Point neighborhood in Duluth. Red foxes are particularly susceptible to mange, a parasitic infestation that causes hair loss, intense discomfort, and leads to many secondary issues that will cause death if left untreated. We need a 1,200 square foot enclosure to make sure all the foxes admitted to our facility have a comfortable area to recover. The area we currently have is far too small for the number of foxes we have been seeing. Will you donate to our Fox Healing Area fund?
Some facts about mange
- Sarcoptic scabiei, the parasite that causes mange, is also known as scabies
- It is a host-adapted species. That is, if a mite finds its way from your dog to you, it can bite and cause some discomfort, but it can't reproduce and continue the cycle. A mite transferred from a fox to your dog, however, will generally multiply and cause full-blown mange
- Overpopulation and poor nutrition are contributing factors to mange outbreaks. Citizens can help guard against this by not feeding wild animals.
- Because the discomfort from the burrowing mites is so intense, animals can lose interest or ability in hunting or finding food, leading to starvation, a further compromised immune system, and eventually death
- Mange medication should only be prescribed and administered by trained professionals

I am participating in Kat McNally's April Moon, a two week reflective writing challenge. Each day, Kat sends an email with a single word prompt to spark some time during the powerful time between the total lunar eclipse and the full moon. Participate with us!
The second prompt is
What feelings does this word evoke? What sorts of memories does it recall? Which of your senses start to tingle? How would you represent what this word means to you?
Here in the Deep South and in Cajun country, at this time of year, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of the word "juicy" is crawfish. We are entering the prime time of year for crawfish, with the prices coming down and mudbugs getting bigger. We spend July – February waiting for the crawfish to come back in season and then we complain from February through May about how expensive the little buggers are.
But when you have them, they are a little bit of heaven. To properly eat a crawfish, you're supposed to suck the heads. It's not my favorite thing in the world to do because I generally feel that it's a lot of work for little return. Not all crawfish are juicy, but when they are – the head is filled with spicy, hot juice. If you're not careful, it will run down your arms and make eating crawfish more of a mess than it already is.
To go along with that "juicy" thought – crawfish is often a communal experience, so it means being with friends and family, gathered close around a table, often elbow to elbow. There's not much talking unless there's a break to pour more crawfish onto the table. But there's this sense of community. Sweet Husband and his father can put away a ton of crawfish and I've learned that if I want any substantial amount, I have to gather my pile before they get going good. But every once in awhile, Sweet Husband will stop and peel a crawfish for me if he sees one that he things is perfect. He knows I don't really like to get my fingers dirty (we all have our quirks; one of mine is that I hate have fingers be dirty. I can't help it. As much as I love digging in the dirt and planting things, it's a constant battle between doing the work and needing desperately to wash or wipe my hands) so he will peel crawfish…or shrimp…or crab for me every now and again.
Beyond crawfish, which is a relatively recent introduction in my life (2005?), "juicy" reminds me of my childhood – summers spent wandering and a strawberry or blackberry patch somewhere near. Or jars of the GrandSner's pickles lining the ledge in the basement – packed tightly in that spicy, sour juice, just waiting for me (or more accurately some one stronger than me) to open them up and bite into one, the juice exploding across my taste buds. Perhaps the sweet burst of the milk of a kernel of yellow corn.Or maybe a tomato fresh from the garden, releasing its precious juice thanks to a liberal sprinkling of salt. Maybe a slice of watermelon or cantaloupe given the same treatment. So much beautiful juice, leaving me a sticky wonderful mess.
Those were easier, freer days. Perhaps my grandparents or parents worried about washing the fruits and vegetables before we gobbled them down. But I think maybe they didn't. Not really. Because they grew them. Or a neighbor did. We roamed throughout the day and into the early evening before dragging ourselves home, and no one seemed to be too terribly concerned about us. Different times, different places, different universes almost.
Those pure moments, though, I think remain. Utter joy. Pleasure…which means something entirely different as an adult. But to remain purely innocent for just a little while longer – just happiness.
What do you think about when you think about "juicy"? Let me know in the comments.

Gamers can sabotage their fellow racers by activating hover mines, damaging the environment to create a rockslide, causing tunnels to collapse, firing missiles from rocket launchers along the track and many more fiendish tricks.
Gravs are customizable, but choose wisely: deciding on one upgrade may mean compromising on another. Strategically tailor-make Gravs to gain the upper hand in races or face the crushing prospect of defeat. In addition to the customization options, unlockable skins will be available free of charge.
In this futuristic high-octane racing game, defying gravity is the least of your concerns.

Written on: Saturday June 23rd, 2007
A journal entry from: The long flight away from home.
Winter Break (Mount Donna Buang)
Since my last blog I have dramatically changed my plans for the winter break. At first I had decided that I would go to Western Australia for a couple of weeks after my exams to travel around and explore. After doing some research, I decided that there was just not enough out there that I really wanted to do to compensate the cost of going. So, I therefore chose to stay here in Melbourne and continue to windsurf, while exploring Victoria (the state which Melbourne is in), as well as look for a job.
The job hunting hasn?t been going overly well, but that being said I haven?t been trying too hard either. Hopefully I will find some casual part time work sometime soon.
Life at the convent has been pretty dead since the end of exams. One by one, all my roommates have left. Janice, Laura, Rachel, Kathrin, Corinna and Susn have all gone up the east coast to travel for different periods of time, and will all be returning sometime in the next two months for a few days to grab their stuff and fly home. Hannah is gone to Thailand for a couple of weeks and will then be returning for the 2nd semester.
Being in such a large building by yourself is kind of unsettling but fortunately it is only for a few days since next week, Kim and Sven from the Sydney road trip will be moving in for a few weeks before they leave the country as well as two girls from North America will also be moving in to attend ACU for 2nd semester.
After a fairly unproductive and relaxing last week I decided I better stop wasting my time and should start going out of the city and exploring. I decided I would go explore the Yarra Valley during the weekend.
Saturday morning I woke up and caught a train as far East as I could go, about a 1h train ride. Once at the last station I decided to catch a bus that would take me for another hour ride into the Dandenong Ranges (small mountainous range with lots of vineyards). I didn?t have any idea where I was heading or what I wanted to do, but figured I would just go with the ?flow?. I jumped off the bus outside of a nice small town called Warburton, located between some hills and alongside the Yarra River (which actually runs all the way to Melbourne, and passes less then 1 km from the house).
The town had some sort of festival going on which was quite nice. I made my way to the information center where I looked for some sort of clue to further lead me into my journey. I found a map with a few different hikes that I could do and ended up picking one that would lead me up to the summit of ?Mount Donna Buang?. I read over the description which stated (12km. 7 hours. Strenuous. For fit and experienced bushwalkers only!). However, being as smart as I am, I tend to find that these types of descriptions are always highly overrated. ALWAYS, is not the case this time. Little did I know at the time, I almost got myself into a little more then my current physical conditioning could handle.
I filled up my water bottle and got on my way, I first had to walk out of the town along the hwy for a little ways, then crossed the river on a suspended bridge and continued along some local roads up to the trails entrance. As I started into the trail, I realized that the level of difficulty was a lot higher then I had assumed, and I found myself having a hard time staying on my feet due to a previous rain fall that had the ground all muddy. I met a guy who was on his way down who told me to go back to the start and jump the fence at the golf course and follow it up till then end. Once at the end of the gulf course I bush walked for a bit until I made it onto some sort of old road, which I then followed until I met up with the hiking trail once again.
The trail leading up was extremely straight forward, none of this bull crap winding around, it was more less straight up. This started to quickly take its toll on me since I haven?t done any hiking in a long time. I never managed to get any pictures of the trail in the dense rainforest areas since my head was pounding too much to take out the camera. After about an hour and a half, I made it to a road crossing, and figured I must be almost to the top, only to see a sign showing that I was yet half way there. I continued to trek on, and started walking into the clouds, it was really cool to walk through the forest in the clouds, its not something I?ve ever done before. At one point the clouds were so thick it seemed as if the sun was going down. Once I started to get above the clouds I started seeing a little snow on the ground and as I continued little by little there became more and more snow.
Finally after more then 3 hours after starting, the clouds started to clear and I could start to hear people at the top. Once a top, there was about 1 to 2 inch?s of snow cover and some families who had driven up to see the views. I climbed up to the top of the observation platform where you had an amazing view looking over the hills and the clouds. The top is 1250m above sea level and about 1000m in elevation from the town below.
It was now nearing 3 p.m. and I really didn?t feel up to the hike back down, nor did I think I could manage to get back down in daylight (it gets dark here before 5). Just to my luck I met a German guy named Jans who offered to give me a ride back down. Turns out he was heading back to Melbourne so I ended up getting a ride all the way back to the outer edge of the city, where I then caught a train back to my place.
All in all it was a nice little adventure, a great workout, a new experience and really nice to get out of the city for the day and head back to my true roots ?the wilderness?.
Hope everyone is well, take care!

Media Statement Immediate Release
PRIDE: Advocate Thandi Norman has been appointed on the State Capture Commission.
Coega makes it a double - celebrates women successes & the appointment of CDC Board member on State Capture Commission
It is reported that the percentage of women in senior business roles in South Africa (SA) has crept enticingly close to 30% as the tipping point for gender equality. Almost one-third (29%) of senior roles in SA are now filled by women, however, one in five local firms (20%) have no women in senior positions, this is according to a recently released report by Grant Thornton International Business Report.
As today marks the International Women's Day – highlighting the international day women are recognised for their achievements without regard to divisions whether it is ethnicity, linguistics, culture, economics and politics.
Coincidentally, in the same week, the CDC learnt of the appointment of key personnel to the State Capture Commission. Amongst the names announced is Advocate Thandi Norman, a member of the CDC board. Advocate Norman's association with the CDC dates back to 2014 and she is currently serving on both the Human Resources & Remuneration Committee as well as the Social & Ethics Committee.
"Nothing gives us greater joy as the CDC to be celebrating the appointment of one of our Board members to such an important role. For the CDC her appointment is an endorsement in the quality of board members we have as an organisation," says Simlindele Manqina, CDC strategic communications & stakeholder relations manager.
At the CDC gender parity and equality play a significant role by providing an environment that is conducive for organisational success, growth and responsive to workplace dynamics.
As part of the CDC's efforts to promote gender equality and women empowerment, the organization has appointed black females at senior level management as well as board level. The organization currently has 215 female staff members and eight (8) of those are in senior positions.
