|Top Online Data Backup Rankings
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – August 26, 2014 – /BackupReview.info/ — This week at VMworld 2014, PROMISE Technology Inc., a recognized global leader in the storage industry, will be on the show floor highlighting their storage solutions, as the company continues to build into cloud infrastructure. Along with PROMISE's just announced all-in-one, on-premise Enterprise File Synchronization and Sharing (EFSS) solution, FileCruiser, its unified storage system for virtualized backup/archive solutions, the Vess R2000 Series, will be showcased at the event.
VMworld is the leading virtualization and cloud computing event of the year, bringing together thought leaders, subject matter experts and IT professionals. As it continues to shift the tech landscape, the cloud has become the clear way forward – particularly for datacenters. Building on the momentum generated by the cloud – and giving IT professionals the building blocks needed for cloud storage infrastructure – PROMISE's portfolio of cloud solutions brings cost savings, infrastructure reliability and flexibility to datacenters – and businesses of all sizes.
The Vess R2000 Series is an ideal entry-level system for SMB/IT workgroups requiring cost efficient storage for unstructured data and virtualization backup/archiving. A high-availability 8G Fibre Channel/10G iSCSI unified storage system with NAS filer, the Vess R2000 Series is certified with the latest VMware vSphere®ESXi 5.5 as well as Veeam®, enabling customers to virtualize their IT infrastructure and start their move into the cloud. Additionally, the Vess R2000 Series supports VMware VAAI, which reduces resource overhead on VMware vSphere ESXi hosts, significantly improving performance for storage-intensive operations such as storage cloning, zeroing and more. The Vess R2000 offers industry leading price/performance and can easily grow along with a customer's business needs, as it can scale-up with online expansion up to 112 drives.
PROMISE's FileCruiser is an all-in-one cloud storage solution that allows businesses that have users needing to sync and share data between multiple mobile devices to build their own secure, scalable private cloud storage service. FileCruiser eliminates the data security concerns that come with public online cloud file sharing solutions because all hardware and data are located on the users' premises. In a recent survey by Enterprise Strategy Group, 69 percent of participants preferred on-premise cloud solutions, due to security concerns. FileCruiser can be deployed on various scales to meet the needs of hundreds to over ten thousand users.
PROMISE's booth at VMworld will feature a technology demonstration of its 'High Density Storage Server', a hyperscale computing 4U/70 bay platform which features two independent server nodes that provide high-availability, high storage capacity and high networking throughput. The PROMISE Technology High Density Storage Server provides flexible configuration modes to meet the needs of different deployment scenarios, and will be targeting big data analytics for OEM partners and Internet data center customers when it launches in Q4 2014.
Rounding out the suite of cloud storage solutions at PROMISE's booth are its VTrak storage subsystems – which are VMware 5.5 certified and support Symantec and Veeam. The VTrak systems at VMworld can be deployed as virtualization building blocks for creating a cloud workgroup infrastructure for backup and archiving.
"While cloud-based services have made it easy for the average user to manage and access their data from multiple devices, delivering on the promise of the cloud can present problems for service providers," said James Lee, CEO, PROMISE Technology. "Storage is the key component to a cloud provider's success, andVMworld is the ideal venue to showcase our suite of cloud storage solutions – which form the building blocks of a robust cloud infrastructure. PROMISE delivers consistent performance, reliability and manageability to ensure that a user's data is always there when it's requested."

I have started to add functions to MinimOsd code.
At first i did it for myself only. Added many functions i thought i need. Then opened this thread.
after a while, Pedro and later Miguel came, and things started to happen fast. :D
They have optimised the code and added even more things to it.
They have worked hard on CT, and it became a great tool!
Thank you Bough! :)
By now MinimOSD-Extra got a pretty advanced OSD.
Here it is in action:
- Changeable unit measurement (US, metric)
- Airspeed
- Home alt
- Battery Percent
- Battery used mah
- Current Draw
- Time From Startup (cleared at takeoff to show exact flight time)
- OSD Menu
- Variometer
- Wind horizontal speed and direction, and also the average wind speed of the last few minutes.
- OSD on/off
- Switchable secound screen
- WP distance
- WP heading
- Crosstrack error
- Warning messages for Lost GPS fix, Stall, Overspeed, battery volt, battery Percent, RSSI
- Efficiency, glide distance & thermic notifier. 3 in one panel
- OSD Brightness
- HAM Call Sign
- After flight summary
- Trip distance
- Temperature
- Smoothened horizon
- Real heading
- Vertical speed
This functions can be turned on and off, and placed on different screens now, by the Config. tool.
Also RSSI, switching mode and channel and unit measurement, Stall speed warning, Overspeed warning, Battery warning volt, Battery percent warning, RSSI warning, can be set in new Config Tool.
We built in a new way of setting video standards. Now OSD does not guessing anymore :). You can set it fixed from CT. It is in "Video Mode" menu.
Here is how it looks: (This video is a bit outdated, sorry. I will make a new one soon.)
The MinimOSD-Extra project is here: Link
This project is the developing version of the official Arducam OSD located here: Link
The latest stable version is: 2.2
The latest version can be downloaded from here: MinimOSD-Extra R800
Username: MinimOSD_Extra
Password: Top_Secret
CT is included. (The FW for Plane, Copter, Character upload and the character file is in the "FW & Char" directory inside CT directory)
We are sharing it to see videos you make using it! :)

Would it be possible to add the mavlink error messages to MinimOSD extra?
Like Bad AHRS, Inconsistent Compass, gyro health, etc. That's the only thing stopping me from flying without a computer.. I need a computer to tell me why I can't arm, occasionally.
Vote for this ;)
Is it possible to disable the flight summary page, or customise what is displayed?
Help ! I have APM 2.6 FW 3.2 Minim OSD 22.214.171.124 FW I have OSD wired as per instructions. power from APM tel port both LEDs on OSD lite (power to both sides)3rd LED flashing. FPV video good but no OSD overlay. I have powered also via UBEC (OSD) with no luck. I do have 3DR and it works fine. Do I need to set APM par with 3.2 FW to get overlay ?
Hi, everybody, newbie here. Now I'm using MOE 2.4 r 727, on apm 2.7 and minim V1.1., it goes fine, only that doesn't show autotune, the others flight modes are shown correctly. I'm trying to load R800, I have follow all the steps explained on the posts here, but I get nothing. I think it may be some parameter to change on apm. I have the recommended parameteres for plane (https://code.google.com/p/minimosd-extra/wiki/APM), or perhaps is a hardware requirement. Can any one post the hardware requirements and apm plane parameters needed to run R800 satisfactorily?. Thanks in advance.
I have a problem with changing characters
controller APM2.6
I'm doing everything like this:
1. Begin EEPROM Erazem
2. Start with "OSD_Config.exe" from Firmware 18.104.22.168
3. In Table "Options" Click on "Update Firmware ..." and "Charater_Updater_FW.hex"
4. In tab "Options" Click on "Update charset ..." and "MinimOSD_126.96.36.199.mcm"
5. In tab "Options" Click on "Update Firmware ..." and "MinimOsd_Extra_Copter_R800.hex"
6. Set the date you wish to have.
The characters do not change ...
and leaves me with something like this:
Hi Marek,
Sorry to see that this is not working for you.
It did for me as I described in my previous report.
Just a wild guess though: Did you try NOT mounting the MinimOSD on your EMAX 4in1 and your video transmitter.
Maybe it's interfering the signals. Don't know only guessing.........
The charset is not uploading even tho it seems so.
Connect 12v to the camera side while uploading the charset only.
You dont need it for firmware to upload.
Well, I get R800 to work, what I was missing was to power both sides, 5V and 12V, in order to upload firmware. Now, on the bench, I have R800 working, but still doesn't display Autotune flight mode, the others flight modes are shown correctly. BTW I have the Apm default parameters (not the MOE parameters https://code.google.com/p/minimosd-extra/wiki/APM ) and R800 is going fine, except the Autotune display, that doesn't change from Manual, but in MP displays Autotune when I change it.
I already changed Apm parameters, and it didn't change nothing. Autotune doesn't display on OSD but does it on MP.
About the reset button....
Do you see the prograssbar when updating?
If you dont have a full cable connected you need to press reset on both charset and
firmware upload. If you can upload firmware without pressing reset, you should be able to
update charset without too.

Some people need to be informed for the first time and others need to be reminded about Prescott Bush and Prescott Oil and Prescott Bush's ties with the Nazis; remind people about Ronald Reagan's Iran Contra scandal and Oliver North as his fall guy; remind people how GWB & Cheney enriched themselves even further from their wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, at the expense of our most precious resources --the lives of our ladies and men in uniform plus the expense of rewarding private contractor security war-profiteers from the Department of Defense funds. Remind people that one of the first cuts made by GWB and Dick Cheney, or perhaps THE FIRST cut they made, was to the Veterans Administration --yet GOP-n-P'ers always exclaim Support the troops! Remind people how McCain & Lieberman & Graham promised Momar Gaddafi they would help him secure military equipment from the United States. Isn't it funny how Republicans and Teabaggers in the House of Representatives and some of them in the Senate campaigned tirelessly with the battle-cry of "Where are the jobs?" when they themselves eliminated the workers' rights and consumer rights and those actual jobs themselves? Remind people how Republican business owners closed down USA factories and shipped USA jobs overseas to exploit cheap labor and no oversight for workers' rights and consumer protections. Remind people how the obstructionist Republicans and their Teabagging cohorts during President Obama's first term held hostage workers' unemployment checks and have blocked any and all progress in mopping up their trickle down economics cesspool.
Not unlike one of my heros said recently on his HBO show Real Time, if you're a working-class American and you still vote for and support Republican policies, you're stupid. Is that name-calling? No. It's a fact. The USA was founded with a mindset of embracing diversity, and people have every right to beLIEve in and proselytize about their beLIEfs in glorified mythologies and their devoted lemming loyalty for fundamentalist Faux News and Newsmax and other garbage, and they can do so on "their" facebook pages.
If you show that you are not interested in supporting President Obama, our Hawai'ian-born Harvard Law School Constitutional Law expert, you are actually showing everyone that you really do not believe in equality, tranquility, common welfare, or liberty and justice FOR ALL.
We need a Democratic Party supermajority to put an end to the filibustering delay tactics that the GOP always uses, not unlike unreasonable bratty children who want their way no matter how much you try reasoning with them.
No more elephant crap and no more tea stains!
Hang in there if you can, everyone.
Your friend,
Warren G. Richards

LinkedIn's Email Proxy Scheme Described as Man-in-the-Middle Attack
Professional networking giant LinkedIn is the subject of much criticism for its new LinkedIn Intro offering for lapses in privacy and security, and is being described as the equivalent to a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack.
The feature is intended to allow iPhone users the ability to access background information on contacts by routing their emails through the proxy service, but security experts warn that the system is a threat to personal privacy and potentially a serious concern for enterprise network security.
"Once you install the Intro app, all of your emails, both sent and received, are transmitted via LinkedIn's servers. LinkedIn is forcing all your IMAP and SMTP data through their own servers and then analyzing and scraping your emails for data pertaining to… whatever they feel like," said Bishop Fox.
"But that sounds like a man-in-the-middle attack! I hear you cry. Yes. Yes it does. Because it is. That's exactly what it is. And this is a bad thing. If your employees are checking their company email, it's an especially bad thing," Bishop continued, pointing out that encryption would likely be broken in the process.
Others contend LinkedIn's record on security matters is less than stellar, citing the loss of over six million users, and the mining of sensitive data from the iOS calendars of some of its members.
"Rather than your iPhone connecting directly to your email provider's servers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc), it will be connecting via LinkedIn's proxy server instead – which will act as a middle-man in your email communications. LinkedIn will then look at your email messages, and insert Intro information into each one," wrote Graham Cluley.
"From the security and privacy point of view it sends a shiver down my spine…"

La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar
With La Roche-Posay being one of my favourite skincare brands, I'm always excited to find out that they're bringing out new products. Especially when it caters to a specific skincare need I have. As Summer is starting to wind down, the La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar range comes just at the right time to help repair sun exposure damage and get us ready for the winter months.
First up we have the La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Serum, a lightweight serum to help correct dark spots and even out skintone. One of my biggest skin concerns at the moment is an uneven skintone so I felt like this was the perfect product for me, especially as it's suitable for sensitive skin.
Once I applied it I noticed straight away the strong, clinical scent but it goes away pretty quickly. It sinks into the skin easily and because it contains the highest concentration of LHA's it also exfoliates the skin. There's no scrubbing involved, your skin just feels extremely smooth and soft straight after applying it.
As for the effectiveness of the product, it does take quite a few weeks to notice a difference so you really need to give it time. While my skin didn't feel sensitive or irritated after using it, I did sadly notice an increase in breakouts so it's something to take into consideration. I've still got a little longer to go with my pigmentation issues but so far I'm happy with the results.
Due to the nature of the serum, it's essential that you apply an SPF afterwards and luckily they have one in the range: the La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar UV SPF 30. I can honestly say this is the best SPF I've ever used. The thing that puts me off using SPF the most is the feel and texture but this applies so smooth and light on the skin, unlike that previous heavy feeling. There's no sign of a white cast, chalky finish on the skin and it sinks in so evenly. Even if the serum isn't for you, I'd definitely pick up the SPF from the range.
If you have pigmentation issues, the Pigmentclar range is definitely worth a try.
Where to buy: La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Serum - Escentual (£25.05)
La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar UV SPF 30 - Escentual (£22.10)

Reader Under The Spotlight - Jane
Hi, I'm Jane and I live in Gloucestershire with my husband, Stuart, two of my three grown-up children, my boxer Gaby and two cats William and Millie.
By day I am an Administrator with the local authority for a service working with early years children with special educational needs and [or] disabilities. By night I am a planner and stationery addict.
I have had a love of all things paper and stationery since an early age. I remember being so disappointed at being given a toy till that I wrote letters above the keys as I really wanted a typewriter; also the best thing about a new school year was new exercise books for EVERY subject!
1. When did you buy your first organiser and what was it?
My first organizer was a Microfile. I purchased this over twenty years ago; it was an A5 zipped style in green canvas with tan leather effect trim. I used this for a while but didn't really bond with its looks and so eventually bought a Filofax A5 Lyndhurst in black leather which was also a zipped style.
2. What other brands have you used or considered using?
I currently use a mixture of Filofax, Gillio and Van Der Spek organizers. Before discovering Gillio and Van Der Spek I thought about trying Franklin Covey, but despite deliberating over the catalogue I was never genuinely tempted.
3. Out of the organisers you own which is your current favourite (Style and Size)?
Sorry, I am going to have to choose two! My personal size Gillio Mia Cara and my Van Der Spek A5 custom. They are very different from each other and I also use them very differently.
4. How many Filofax or other brands of organisers do you own?
I see, confession time is it? I have nine Filofax, two Gillio and one Van Der Spek. I do also have various Maldens that I have put to one side to sell so am no longer classing these as mine – can I get away with that excuse?
5. What is the oldest organiser in your collection?
That would be the A5 Lyndhurst I mentioned earlier.
6. What do you use your organisers for?
My Gillio Mia Cara is my everyday planner – calendar, reminders, notes, shopping lists, tasks – my brain dumping place basically. My Van Der Spek A5 is what I call my "ME" planner; I'm trying to be more healthy so use this to record diet and lifestyle stuff, there's a bit of journaling in there although not everyday. I have also recently started keeping a record of my dreams so that's included too. I also have sections for learning the piano and Italian. I also use a Gillio pocket Compagna as a wallet, it's actually one of the older Giliodoro styles. Finally, I use a trio of Apex at work – personal, A5 and A4 folio.
7. What was the feature about Filofax you like most?
With all the planners I use it has to be the flexibility of the ring system. Moving sections around, removing or adding as needed is so useful. Also, being a bit of a perfectionist, the ability to tear out a page when a mistake occurs!
8. If you could design your own Filofax what would it feature?
My perfect planner would be A5 with generous rings, beautiful leather which smells wonderful which is soft to handle but tough enough for life's little knocks too. It would have just the right layout inside without the numerous card slots some planners seem to have. It would be neutral in colour on the outside concealing a beautiful array of colour on the inside – wait a minute, I've just described my custom Van Der Spek!
9. How do you carry your Filofax?
My A5 stays at home so is only carried around by hand. The two Gillios just go inside whatever bag I am using at the time; other than keeping keys and liquids away from them I am not too precious – they are meant to be used.
10. Which Filofax in the current range do you like the most? Are you going to buy it?
To be honest I am a little disappointed with the Filofax range of late. I do have plans for another custom A5 Van Der Spek later this year but for now I have planner peace with those I am currently using.
11. What is the most you have ever spent on a Filofax or other brand of organiser? Which model?
It is my Gillio Mia Cara. My lips are sealed as to how much it cost, but it was preloved and I bought it from someone in the States so not only was it an expensive purchase I had customs charges to pay as well.
12. What's your favourite Filofax tip or hack?
I think the best tip I could offer would be to live with something for a while before deciding it's not right for you.
13. Turning to Philofaxy, what do you like the most?
The wealth of information is amazing, whether you need to find the answer to a planner question or are just browsing it is so interesting. The community of people I have grown to know – who don't look at me as though I have two heads because I still use a paper planner.
But I think the one thing about Philofaxy that I would be lost without has to be the inserts. I have to say a major "thank you" to both Steve Morton and Ray Blake for the exceptional collection of inserts. I have tweaked the source documents provided and now have unique and perfect inserts.
14. And what do you not like about Philofaxy?
The easiest question to answer – nothing!
15. What was the last music track you downloaded or bought?
It was so long ago I cannot remember! I use Spotify to create playlists so don't tend to download anymore.
16. Have you ever attended a Philofaxy meet-up? if not do you intend to one day?
Yes, I've been to a Philofaxy meet-up in London and also the Gillio "Think Tank" event that took place last year. Looking forward to hopefully attending more this year too.
17. What was the last movie you watched?
As I am currently suffering with the 'flu and a chest infection I have become a bit of a couch potato so I'm afraid it was a chick-flick – "New Year's Eve".
18. What was the last book you read?
I am currently reading Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying"; a book that I expect will be familiar to a lot of Philofaxy readers.
19. George Clooney or Brad Pitt?
Definitely George Clooney – so long as he brings coffee!
Thank you Jane. As you know we are constantly looking for new people to appear in our 'Reader Under Spotlight feature, you don't have to be 'well known' or a long term user to be considered to appear in this 'spot'. So please contact Steve philofaxy at gmail dot com today. Thank you.

GF/concubine can't be prosecuted for cruelty: SC
15 sep 2010
New Delhi: A girl friend, concubine or live-in-partner cannot be prosecuted for cruelty by an estranged wife though the husband and other family members can be made liable for the offence, the Supreme Court has held.
A Bench of Justices Altamas Kabir and AK Patnaik in a judgement said that under Section 498A, it is the husband and his other relatives who can be prosecuted but not the girl friend, live-in partner or concubine even if they are staying with him.
The Bench passed the judgement while upholding an appeal filed by Sunita Jha, challenging the cognizance taken by Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Dumka, Jharkhand, under Section 498A IPC on the basis of a complaint filed by estranged wife Asha Rani.
Rani had filed the case not only against her husband Mukund Chandra Pandit but also against Sunita who was living with him without marrying him. Rani argued that even though Sunita was not married, yet by her conduct of staying with Pandit they were deemed to be husband and wife. The sessions court dismissed Sunita's plea for quashing of the criminal case and the Jharkhand High Court also refused to interfere with the decision.
The High Court took the view that since Sunita was living with the accused husband of the complainant, she must be deemed to have become a family member of Mukund Chandra Pandit for the purpose of Section 498A IPC. Aggrieved, Sunita appealed in the apex court. Interpreting the provision, the apex court said that under Section "498A, husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty, whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine."
The apex court recalled its earlier ruling in the U Suvetha's case that neither a girl friend nor a concubine is a relative of the husband within the meaning of Section 498A IPC since they were not connected by blood or marriage to the husband.
"We agree with the submissions made on behalf of the appellant that the learned Judge of the High Court committed an error in bestowing upon the Appellant the status of wife and, therefore, a member of Mukund Chandra Pandit's family.
"The doctrine of acknowledgement would not be available in the facts of this case. No doubt, there is direct allegation against the appellant of cruelty against the Respondent No.2, Asha Rani Pal, but as indicated in U Suvetha's case, the same would enable the Respondent No.2 to proceed against her husband under Section 498A I.P.C. and also against the appellant under the different provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, but not under Section 498A I.P.C.," Justice Kabir, writing the judgement, said.

Franchitti Says Pit Problem Was A Penske Problem
By John Sturbin | Senior Writer
Dario Franchitti says pit road etiquette prevailed over "gamesmanship" Sunday afternoon at The Milwaukee Mile, where the Scotsman's 29th career victory drew him into a tie with Will Power for the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series championship.
When Franchitti entered pit road on Lap 125 of Sunday's Milwaukee 225, his left rear tire made contact with Power's right front tire-changer and tire, a violation of the INDYCAR rulebook. Power's crewman was standing atop the tire to give his driver a turn-in reference point. While ABC-TV's crew speculated on a possible penalty for Franchitti, none was called by Brian Barnhart, the sanctioning body's president of competition and racing operations.
As reported by the "Indianapolis Star," Barnhart said: "After reviewing the situation, and taking into consideration all the circumstances, including the intent, the effect on competition and the effect on safety, race control officials in their discretion didn't feel it was a violation worthy of a penalty."
Franchitti addressed that key moment involving Team Penske's Power – and reiterated his post-race criticism of Penske teammate Helio Castroneves – during a conference call Wednesday previewing Saturday night's Iowa Corn Indy 250 at Iowa Speedway.
"I've looked at it on tape a number of times now because there's obviously some questions about that," said Franchitti, driver of the No. 10 Dallara/Honda fielded by Target Chip Ganassi Racing. "In the pit
lane, there is an etiquette, and it's something that Brian Barnhart actually talked about in the drivers' meeting and frequently does talk about it, especially in tight pit lanes like Milwaukee.
"And that is: The car, in the situation where we were, the car behind us was Will. Now, the etiquette is, if it's not going to affect Will's pit stop – which in both instances in the last two pit stops, it wasn't – Will's right front guy should lift the tire and allow me an easier entry into my pit box. And we, my right rear guy, would do the same for Will on the exit to allow him an immediate exit out of his pit box. And that's something that goes on up and down pit lane; regardless if we have been fighting for championships or whatever, with the Penske guys, we have always done that with each other.
"For some reason on Sunday, in two stops, the tire was left out there. And that was, I believe, the reason there wasn't a penalty because there was no need for the tire to be out there. And I think there was some gamesmanship going on there, which is not something we have seen from those guys before, and hopefully it's the last we'll see of it. Because if one starts doing it and the other starts doing it…pit lane is dangerous enough without playing stupid games like that.
"Second and third he (the crewman) didn't move it. First one, I believe it wasn't there, but the second and third, it was. And I believe it was a six-second difference between when I made my pit stop and when Will did, which is more than enough time to move it."
Franchitti inherited the lead on Lap 199 around the historic facility in West Allis, Wis., when Castroneves was forced to pit to change a tire going flat. Franchitti went on to 1.4271-second victory over Graham Rahal of Service Central Chip Ganassi Racing.
On Sunday, Franchitti said he enjoyed racing against 2004 series champion Tony Kanaan, now driving for KV Racing Technology-Lotus, during the closing laps. But Franchitti panned "his Brazilian brother" – a reference to Castroneves – for moves he described as "crazy or obstructive" during a late-race double-file restart.
"I think Helio was actually…he was on the inside on a double-file restart, so, yeah, definitely, he was
correct. Took the whole back line," Franchitti said. "And at that point, I was wrong. So I chose to go to the outside, and had a run on Helio and was alongside him and started to become further alongside him as he then saw me and swerved towards me on the outside. So I don't change my view on that.
"You know, it's something that we all grew up in series throughout the world. We all grew up in series where blocking was allowed for years. We watched guys like (seven-time Formula One World Driving Champion Michael) Schumacher do it. And then at some point, the IndyCar Series and Champ Car, actually, made a stance that blocking is no longer allowed; it spoils the race, blah, blah, blah.
"We have all had to adapt. And in a lot of cases, the first instinct is to block. But we have all managed to adapt, I would say. Helio has not really, and he continues to do it, and it's frustrating. I kind of voiced my frustration after the race, and that has not changed – and it needs to stop."
Franchitti's 29th career victory tied him with Rick Mears for ninth on the all-time list, two shy of active co-leaders Sebastien Bourdais and Paul Tracy. Recall that Franchitti's victory in Race 1 of the inaugural Firestone Twin 275s at Texas Motor Speedway on June 11 moved him past three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford of Fort Worth. Sunday's outcome – Franchitti's third win of 2011 – capped an historic eight-day span.
"I'm obviously very proud of all the wins, and I never thought I would get to this stage of having won 29 races now," said Franchitti, who exited TMS 21 points behind Power. "Something I'm very proud of, and it still comes as a shock when they talk about guys like Johnny Rutherford and Rick Mears. When I first came over here I was driving for Carl Hogan. He (Mears) took me aside on my first day on the oval, and took me aside and said, 'You don't do it like that. You do it like this.' He really was helpful. It's kind of a strange feeling to be in the company of those two great drivers.
"When I tied with J.R. and then last week passed J.R. – I saw J.R. in the bus lot about one o'clock in the morning, and he just…he was driving past. He stopped and just shook my hand and said, 'Well done.' That was cool. So it's a weird thing for me to be…to have those kind of numbers and to be around guys like J.R. and Rick. It doesn't really compute, if you know what I mean."
Franchitti and Rahal were joined on the podium by Oriol Servia, who recorded a season-high third-place result in his No. 2 Telemundo Dallara/Honda fielded by Newman/Haas Racing. Power –winner of Race 2 at TMS after a controversial blind draw set the field – advanced from a season-low 17th starting position Sunday to finish fourth. But by virtue of the three bonus points he earned for winning the PEAK Performance Pole Award and leading the most laps, Franchitti tied Power for the championship lead at 271 points heading into Newton, Iowa.
A three-time series champion, Franchitti has won at the 0.875-mile oval in the odd-number years (since 2007) that IndyCar has been visiting the Rusty Wallace-designed racetrack. Franchitti was leading the 250-lap race last year when a gearbox malfunction resulted in a season-low 18th-place finish.
"We were in good shape last year, too," said Franchtti, who is chasing an unprecedented third consecutive series title and fourth overall. "We have to go there and do the job, and if we do the job we'll be in a good situation. And, if we don't, we move on."
The race will be telecast live in High Definition at 8 p.m. (EDT) by VERSUS. The race also will air live on the IMS Radio Network, SiriusXM Channel 94 and www.indycar.com.
Numbers worth noting following the Milwaukee 225, seventh of 17 events in the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series season:
2 _ Positions gained in the championship standings by Graham Rahal with his runnerup finish in the No. 38 Service Central Dallara/Honda.

The ESN Journalistic Committee has two new international members! Are you interested in who they are and what you can expect from them? Then keep reading and get to know these two internationals better!
Annalise Garrett
Hey! My name is Annalise and I am an Erasmus student from England! I am here for one year as part of my BA degree in Literature and Linguistics from The University of Leicester. I arrived here in Utrecht in September, and as expected, the weather resembles that of England, if not a little bit colder! As you can imagine, having to adapt to riding my bike and walking on the wrong side of the road has been very disorientating and I still make mistakes. So, if you see an English girl on a little red bike (yes I cycle using a children's bike) cycling the wrong way or looking rather frightened, say hi! For writing, well, expect a lot of topics in relation to international observations and travelling… especially travelling, for my love of nature and culture cannot be concealed. Additionally, I have a love for all art forms, you will find me in a museum, reading a book or scrolling through tumblr fine art posts. So, to be part of this blog and committee allows me to engage and experiment with words in relation to our Erasmus here. And with that, I shall say hello and I will see you at some ESN events! Hope you enjoy your stay here and the coming sunny weather!
Una Omeragic
Hello to all the dear readers of our ESN Blog! My name is Una and I am a twenty-year-old Croatian girl studying in the Netherlands. I came to Utrecht last September to study International Communication and Media, and it was definitely a decision I don't regret. Since then, the city has treated me so well that I have decided to do my full-time study here.As most of the internationals, I try to make the best out of my time spent abroad so I have decided to join the ESN Journalism Committee. I am very passionate about literature in general, and writing articles while having a cup of coffee on a rainy Sunday morning sounds pretty attractive to me. If, however, I am not there, you will probably find me on a good art-music festival in my boho outfit, wearing a big hat to protect me from the rain (notice: I am quite short, so good luck with finding me amongst all the tall Dutchies!). My other passions include latin dancing, travelling, tasting new food and obsessing over dogs! When it comes to my contribution to the blog, you can expect articles about different events and tips and tricks about living abroad from an international perspective. My curious self has to discover every corner of the city, so I hope all the advice I post here will be helpful. Keep reading our blog and magazine and don't forget to make every day of your study abroad life AMAZING!

It is easy to rationalize social media marketing as a tactic that is more cost-effective than traditional marketing. This post by Erik Deckers suggests that traditional marketing is barely worth your time and money while social media marketing is a cost-effective alternative. Just a year ago, MediaBistro.com suggested that with social media marketing, you can reach "1,000 people for a fraction of the cost using social media than you can through television, billboards or even email." The Fast Company article we cited last week does not make a single mention of the cost of social media marketing.
These might be comforting thoughts in some ways, but we suspect that statements about the low cost of social media marketing do not consider one major factor – time. With traditional marketing tactics time, and hence cost, are a little easier to track. When we quote a new advertisement, for example, we base that quote on the following:
• Time for developing a new concept
• Time required for laying out the ad
• Time required for copywriting
• Time required for any photography or illustration services that might be needed
• Time required for making client revisions
• Time required for proofreading and preparing the file for publication
While any one of these areas can extend beyond our time estimate, defining our services and tracking the time each step takes is fairly simple and intuitive. The media cost also is what it is. Budgeting for these kinds of tactics is easy, even if the tactics themselves may add up quickly in the ledger depending on the campaign.
In the world of traditional marketing, time is equated with cost. There is no audible gasp of surprise in regards to any of what we have said thus far, we are assuming.
In the world of social media, things get a little more complicated.
Breaking down your social media marketing time
If you are not currently engaged in social media marketing, you might not have an idea of how much time a company can dedicate to the task over the course of a week. Since so many social media practitioners are talking about content marketing as a significant part of today's social media marketing techniques, let's start with just that part of the puzzle. Let's assume that your company wants to get started with social media marketing but not witha really aggressive program. Your campaign calls for the following:
One blog post per week
One white paper per quarter that will get posted to your website and promoted via your social media channels
One webinar per year that you will also post to your website and promote via your social media channels
Let's be generous and say it takes your blogger half an hour a week to write the blog post. So that's 52 x 30 minutes = 26 hours/year.
Each white paper requires research, writing, and an approval process, not to mention designing the piece. Let's again be generous here and say that just takes 10 hours per white paper. That makes 40 hours a year for white paper development.
Finally, the webinar. This is the hardest thing to estimate in terms of time because there are so many variables. Who will develop the slides? Who will actually create the content for the webinar? Who will manage promotion and moderation? For the sake of argument, let's say your company dedicates 30 hours to your annual webinar.
For content marketing alone, you have just dedicated 96 hours a year, and this by the way does not include e-newsletter content or content that you would produce separately as part of your presence on Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus. What is your going hourly rate? Multiply that by 96 hours.
In the B2B space, there are publications where this kind of investment could get you a three-time print program. If the publication is audited, you know exactly who will be seeing that ad. Your content marketing needs to be promoted to the right people in the online world. Finding those people, those ideal leads, means research time for your company or perhaps an investment in a social media "listening" tool. Perhaps both.
Continuing with our trend for conservative estimates, let's now say that in terms of actually "doing" social media, your company wants to dedicate most of your time to Twitter. You decide you're going to dedicate about 2 hours a week to tweeting, broken up into small blocks each work day. Two hours a week for a year equates to 104 hours. How much are you paying the person who is tweeting for you? If you are doing this work, what is your hourly rate?
This is all starting to add up.
This is not to scare you away from social media marketing
Understand, our intent is not to say that social media marketing is prohibitively expensive. However, the reality is that social media takes a lot of time, and if you do not track your time carefully, the investment of time, and hence money, that you put into your social media bucket can add up extremely fast. Especially if you are brand new to the world of social media, this can be particularly risky because it takes awhile to build up the kind of credibility that can lead you to new customers.
Just as you plan and budget for your traditional marketing tactics, you must do the same for your social media marketing campaign. In doing so, remember that everything social media marketing requires includes your time (or someone else's). It is not free, and it may not even be less expensive than some of your current traditional marketing programs.
If you have any questions about what we have thrown out here today, just let us know in the comments section!

These pictures were taken in Teesdale when we walked the Pennine Way in June 1970. We climbed over a style and were confronted with this bizarre sight. Some naturalists with whom we talked at the youth hostel that evening said maybe there had been a population explosion to cause such extreme behaviour. But maybe it isn't so unusual. An article in The Independent showed a picture taken in Cambridgeshire in June 2010. It described the caterpillars as 'bird cherry ermine moth (Yponomeuta evonymella).
I was inspired to put up these pictures when I saw some superb examples on the 12 June 2010 walk near Blencathra Centre (2/3 way down the page) on Ann Bowker's Mad about Mountains site. I especially like the enlarged picture .

Former Arsenal and England defender Kenny Sansom has revealed that he is living on the streets after alcoholism took over his life.
The veteran of two World Cups has been sleeping on a park bench after falling on hard times.
In March, he was
Sansom revealed in his 2008 autobiography that he had struggled all of his life with addictions to alcohol and gambling, and the Arsenal legend has finally hit rock-bottom:
"I've been living homeless for 10 days," he told The Sun.
"That's because I've got no money, I'm a drunk, I'm feeling not very well and I'm a gambler.
"I've been living on the street. It's not good living on the bench."
The newspaper report claims that Sansom, 54, has been drinking up to SEVEN bottles of rosé wine every day, and disappeared on Tuesday from his sister's house where he had been staying.
Alcoholism in ex-footballers has gained a higher profile in recent years, with Paul Gascoigne, Tony Adams and Paul Merson going public with their struggles.
The Sunday Mirror told in June how Chelsea legend Alan Hudson had hit rock bottom and was living in a homeless hostel .

Trade Finance
Trade Finance is a product which has been designed to allow businesses to fulfil orders they would otherwise struggle with.
This may be down to the sheer size of the order, or due to underlying cash flow issues. Many of our clients are able to identify good opportunities for growth, but simply cannot afford the upfront costs associated with the deal. Tailored to suit businesses who have confirmed purchase orders from reliable sources, it allows them to secure the stock needed for the order.
The basic process is that our client agrees to supply finished goods to their customer. The customer must be well rated, and preferably there will be some trade history between the two parties. Terms of purchase are agreed with the supplier who may be located in the UK, Europe or Worldwide. So far, everything is normal – they have a confirmed order and they have a supplier lined up. Business as usual.
This is where Creative Trade Finance comes in. We will examine the deal (what the goods are, profit margins, paperwork etc.) to ensure that everything is workable. Once we are happy with this, we will then look to set up a facility which will normally be in place for a 12 month period. Or facility will be designed to ensure you have access to cash to fulfil not only this order, but also future orders of a similar type. Once the facility has been set up, we will then purchase the goods being ordered on our customer's behalf. We take title of the goods, and they are shipped in our name. As soon as the goods arrive in the UK, we settle any duty, VAT and freight that is due. We will pay up to 100% of the landed cost. Goods are then delivered either to the end customer, placed in one of our warehouses, or sometimes, in our clients warehouse. We will work with you to find the best solution for all parties.
Our fee is calculated from the date Creative Trade Finance pay the landed cost, until the day we are repaid by our customer. Traditionally we are repaid when our customer is paid by the end customer, although clients are free to repay us earlier, depending on their cash flow. We can also offer our Trade Finance customers a Selective Invoice Finance facility. By purchasing the invoice off our client, we can then clear the trade finance facility swiftly, therefore controlling costs and freeing the facility for use again. You do not have to find the cash to pay your supplier, and do not have to wait for potentially prohibitively long periods to be paid by your customer. By doing this, we can cut the cash flow gaps at both ends of the transaction, and shorten the cycle considerably. We can also work alongside third party invoice financiers if full factoring/invoice discounting facilities are required. Once the facility has been cleared, you are then free to go again.
As with all products provided by Creative Capital, flexibility and clarity is key. All pricing will be agreed in advance with no hidden charges. Facilities are always priced on their own merits based on the details of the deal. Once a facility is agreed, if it needs to be amended (for example to allow for additional growth or new product lines), we will always be happy to discuss this with you. Debentures are always required, as are personal guarantees from company directors.
Trade Finance can be used to help companies in most sectors, as long as the goods being imported are finished. It is not suitable for companies who are importing parts to build something (e.g. a machine) to fulfil an order. Clients include importers of lighting, furniture, electrical goods and even some perishable foods. Creative Trade Finance allows our clients to maximise their sales potential, without being hamstrung by restrictive cash flow.
To discuss how Creative Trade Finance can help you to grow your business and fulfil your orders, get in touch today.

Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham named that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is still said today: 'In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided.'"
That which was originally provided to Abraham was a ram in place of sacrificing his only son (from his wife Sarah). This whole experience was a test on Abraham's unconditional love and obedience to his God. But focus on the latter part of the verse, "in the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided." Some Bible translations fix this as the later location of Jerusalem. Some research works and maps agree. Specifically, the Bible fixes this as the site of Solomon's temple. Later, it would be prophetically written that 'the mountain of … God will be raised above all others and people will stream to it.'
The phrase (in both Isaiah and Micah) "in the final days" refers to the period just before what Daniel spoke of in chapter 2, verse 44. Yes, just before God removes earthly governments and sets up his own direct rulership (through Jesus), people would indeed be streaming to God's holy mountain. But is that a physical location?
Jesus, in talking with the Samaritan woman at the well, answered that question by stating that true worship would not be limited to a specific location, but it would be a unity of belief, a unity of "spirit and truth." Unity and truth are not something shared amongst all the religions claiming to be Christian. The very reason so many factions of purportedly Christian religions exist is because they disagree on one or more beliefs. That fact should make it evident to Bible readers that the "one faith" can only refer to exactly that--one religion, one religious faith.
So what religious group do you know of that is globally united in spirit and truth? If you cannot think of any, then you have never actually associated with Jehovah's Witnesses BECAUSE they are the only one that are unreservedly convinced they are such a group. This is one of the main reasons they engage in their public ministry--they KNOW they have found "the truth." In fact, the most adamant about this conviction usually comes from those that have converted from other religions.
Coming back to the saying "In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided." In a spiritual sense this is true of Jehovah's Witnesses. The "mountain" of spirit and truth has reached such proportions that people all over the globe are streaming streaming to it. Just as Abraham was provided with what was needed to worship God correctly, we are provided all the tools we need to completely and properly worship God. The "it" that is provided includes all the benefits that this worldwide brotherhood offers: Comfort from the scriptures, support from the congregations, valuable education, and much more. After more than 40 years of service to my God Jehovah, in cooperation with the global brotherhood, I can readily claim that "it" has indeed been provided in the mountain of Jehovah.
Note: Visit www.jw.org and click in the upper right corner to see a list of all the languages (700 as of this writing) we reach today. We do this because we are convinced that everyone indiscriminately deserves to hear the good new. How many languages does your religion employ in reaching the masses of people?

Last year Tesla Motors scored a nice coup with former Chrysler executive Mike Donoughe as Tesla's new Vice President of vehicle engineering and manufacturing. Now they've scored big again with the hiring of highly-respected and former GM, BMW and Audi exec, John Walker.
The electric-car company also hired an exec in the communications department from YouTube, Ricardo Reyes. Finally, a spokesperson from Tesla recently said they will be looking to hire 150 more employees–most in engineering from the automotive industry.

Tea Fights Anthrax, Star Trek Tea & More
Issue two of The Leaf is now available at digital newsstands everywhere. In other words, click here to read the full issue online. Good stuff.
Can tea fight anthrax? That's the good word nowadays, according to some American and British researchers. More here from the Telegraph and a tongue in cheek response from Graeme Wood at the Atlantic, here.
The record for the world's largest tea party was upped again recently in Indore, India, where 32,000 people turned out to take their sips. More here.
We've written about Zen Green Tea Liqueur, but recently the McClatchy-Tribune News Service had their say on the matter. Read more and check out the recipe for a Zen-tini here.
While undertaking research for a project I've been working on, I ran across some unearthly teas, including Cardassian red leaf, Pyrellian ginger and more. Don't rush out looking for them, since they only exist in the world of Star Trek. More here.

Two Leaves and a Bud Introduces Organic Rooibos
Two Leaves and a Bud Tea Company to Introduce Organic African Rooibos Tea and the Trust Organic Small Farmers Co-op at The Natural Products Expo West Show
(from a press release)
Two Leaves and a Bud, the tea company with whole leaf organic tea sachets for "a better cuppa' tea", is pleased to announce the introduction of Organic African Sunset Red Tea. This rooibos (red bush or red tea) caffeine-free herbal tea will be supplied by a small farmers' cooperative in South Africa; it will be the first tea launched in North America from The Trust Organic Small Farmers Alliance (TOSFA).
The TOSFA is a unique initiative, founded by producers, traders and non-government organizations (NGOs) from around the world. The TOSFA works within existing Fair Trade labeling and organic certification procedures to help small farmers overcome the disadvantages that they face. African Sunset tea will debut at Expo West Natural Products Show, March 14-16 2008.
Other exciting company developments include the introduction of three new Super Fruit Teas and the conversion to Certified Organic of White Rose (White Peony) and High Mountain Chai.
African Sunset is a 100% organic herbal tea blend, which includes organic rooibos (red tea), organic lemongrass and lemon peel. Rooibos is a naturally caffeine free tea and like green tea, contains significant amounts of antioxidants, iron, potassium, magnesium, copper, calcium, manganese and fluoride.

New Tea Pyramids From Choice Organic Teas
Whole Leaf Organics: New Tea Pyramids From Choice Organic Teas
(from a press release)
Choice Organic Teas, North America's leading purveyor of exclusively organic teas, announces the launch of Whole Leaf Organics, the largest collection of organic, Fair Trade Certified tea pyramids on the market today. Packed in eco-friendly, biodegradable tea pyramids, this product line brings an artful new shape to the organic tea experience. Available May 2008, the first taste will come at Natural Products Expo West in Anaheim, CA from March 14-16.
Loose leaf teas are often considered by tea connoisseurs to be the finest way to enjoy a cup, as the unfurling of the full tea leaves allows complex flavors to come to the forefront. With extra room inside each tea pyramid, Whole Leaf Organics achieves this same quality but with the added convenience of a tea bag. The line includes eight varieties of traditional blends and new favorites — English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Estate Blend Darjeeling, Jade Green, Jasmine Green, Chamomile Citrus, Sweet Liquorice Mint, and Lychee White. The suggested retail price is $8.49 for a 15-count box of individually wrapped tea pyramids.

Tea Bag Art, Teapot Worship & More
The New York Times ran a brief report this week on an interesting project that takes used tea bags, of all things, and turns them into little wee canvases with which artsy-fartsy stuff can be made.
Even the most avid tea fanciers among us probably stop short of worshiping tea or the paraphernalia associated with it. Not so for a group in Malaysia who once worshipped a giant teapot, or at least they did until the government there destroyed it. For more, read this recent article from the Telegraph.
Here's a nifty item called the Tea Control Teapot with Brew Stop Infuser. Whether or not it works as promised, it still gets points for looking nice.
Last up is an item that falls into the category of tea tourism. It's the Web site for the Tea Factory Hotel, in Sri Lanka, the land of Ceylon tea.

Bottom Line
Product not yet tested by PCMag editors.
The Asus SBW-06C1S-U Blue ($150 street) is a portable external Blu-ray drive, providing both reading and burning capabilities for Blu-ray, DVD, and CD optical media. Whether you're using a laptop or ultrabook that doesn't have an optical drive or just want to work with Blu-ray without swapping out any of your PC's parts, the Asus SBW-06C1S-U Blue is attractive enough to sit on any professional desk, but portable enough to slip into a backpack and take on the road.
The Asus SBW-06C1S-U has a tray-loading design, with a disc tray that extends out the front of the drive. The drive measures 0.8 by 5.6 by 6.2 inches (HWD) and weighs 11.3-ounces. Designed for either portable or stationary use, the SBW-06C1S-U also comes with a vertical mount stand.
The drive draws power through an integrated USB Y-cable, providing bus-power on the go without the worry of losing a cable while you're on the road.

"The Model Alliance welcomes Vogue's pledge to not knowingly work with models under the age of 16, or who appear to have an eating disorder. Most editions of Vogue regularly hire models who are minors, so for Vogue to commit to no longer using models under the age of 16 marks an evolution in the industry. The use of underaged models is linked to financial exploitation, eating disorders, abandoned schooling, and contributes to models' overall lack of empowerment in the workplace. We hope other fashion brands and magazines will follow Vogue's impressive lead." — Sara Ziff
"I truly commend Vogue for taking a serious interest in the protection of young people. I grew up in this business and while my mother always traveled with me for work, I met many young models over the years who weren't as protected as I was. There were never any rules implemented for young workers who could easily work for up to 16 hours a day while unsupervised. This action by Vogue helps place a new set of values on an industry that truly needs reform." — Milla Jovovich
"The announcement from Vogue this week is an important step in the right direction. For us to move forward and initiate change within the modeling industry we need all the leaders to be on board. Condé Nast is a force within this industry and if there truly is good intention and follow through we might see the beginnings of a powerful transformation that is long overdue." — Carré Otis
"It's thrilling to me that 19 editions of Vogue have agreed to setting concrete standards for the models they use. Like any industry, models need and deserve these standards of employment and treatment. Not every model appears in Vogue, but every model and every publication looks up to them as the standard bearer. I can only imagine this will prove to be a solid step in a direction that will benefit models for generations to come." — Coco Rocha
"I am very pleased to hear of Vogue's Health Initiative announcement this week. It is a step in the right direction and I wish this was around when I had started modeling. I hope this will spark more discussion on this very important issue." — Amy Lemons
"This is a move in the right direction, although the age could be 17. Teenagers should be featured in Teen Vogue." — Trish Goff
Check out Vogue's announcement. What are your thoughts?

This sewer line extended directly under the house itself.
The homeowner was given a couple of options such as moving the line or digging up the inside of his home – neither option looked inviting.
Both were expensive and promised major disruptions.
Pipe-bursting made the job simple and quick without any disruptions to the general landscape or the home.
The sewer line extended underneath two retaining walls and existing landscaping.
Using Trenchless techniques, the sewer line was replaced without major disruptions to the retaining walls and shrubbery above.
This job was complete in only 1 ½ days.
This sewer line was 11 feet deep and 180 feet long passing under the swimming pool and a tennis court (not visible in picture).
Over a two-day period, this line was replaced using the trenchless method with very little disruption to the landscape.
The water line for this home crossed under the driveway.
The water line was ¾" diameter pipe and 65 feet long – using trenchless techniques saved digging up driveway and landscaping.
This line went under a professionally landscaped staircase at a steep incline.
Sewer Line
Further, the customer prized her established heritage trees and surrounding shrubbery.
While the line could have been installed across the driveway area to avoid the landscaping issues, she also didn't want the driveway damaged or scarred in keeping with the pristine look of other homes in the area.
With the trenchless method, the job took only two days and was completed in a way that met the customer's criteria.
The work was completed saving her reconstruction and landscaping costs.
Even newer homes can get the blues. This home, barely four years old, had a surprising sewer line collapse.
The finish on the stamped concrete finished driveway and walkway was barely worn when the homeowner was faced with the prospect of tearing it up and the resulting ugly scarring to replace the line.
He was very relieved when trenchless techniques were able to replace the entire line without any disruption to the concrete and surrounding grass.
Pipe bursting easily handled this job requiring three turns and, due to inadequate grade, increasing pipe diameter from 4″ to 6″.
The resulting increase of drainage capacity solved recurring backup problems experienced by the homeowners.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Thank God for the Genesee County, N.Y., sheriff's deputies who totally brought their A game to the Brad Paisley show on Saturday (July 23) and gave citations to 56 too-young revelers. And thank God for Paisley for tweeting about the long list of drinkers and 14 other people arrested or cited for all kinds of disorderliness. "Quite a performance in Darien Lakes Saturday. We also played music," he tweeted, adding a link to the local newspaper's crime page with most of the names, ages and towns of all the people arrested.
People drink alcohol at concerts. Whether or not they are legally able to do so is another matter entirely. Maybe this will shame these people into thinking twice next time, before they pour vodka into their water bottle or smuggle beer under their miniskirts. (Yes, people do that.) And maybe they will consider the fact that they are risking getting in serious trouble AND disappointing the artist they've paid so much to go see.

Veterans groups that worried President-elect Donald Trump would set the Department of Veterans Affairs on a course toward privatization let out a sigh of relief Wednesday with the long awaited announcement of his pick for secretary.
Trump kept veterans advocates on pins and needles for weeks as speculation swirled that the pick would go to a VA outsider — Sarah Palin was thought to be in the running for a quick minute — who would seek to privatize the troubled department.
But on Wednesday Trump announced the nomination of Dr. David Shulkin, who has served as undersecretary of the VA's Veterans Health Administration since being appointed by President Barack Obama in 2015. Shulkin, who notably is the department's first non-veteran secretary, was formerly the president and CEO of Beth Israel Medical Center in New York City.
"After substantial public discussion regarding possible wholesale privatization of VA healthcare, we are relieved by today's announcement," said the advocacy group Veterans for Common Sense, which has long fought to force the VA to provide better mental health treatment.
That sentiment was echoed by longtime veterans service organization AMVETS. "In the absence of clarity about who was to lead the VA, we grew more than a little concerned that political considerations might undermine veterans' best interests," said AMVETS Executive Director Joe Chenelly. "But this wise decision by President-elect Trump validates what we've long known and said – that the Veterans Health Administration is on the right track despite a prolonged, concerted smear campaign aimed at dismantling and privatizing veterans care."
Shulkin has expressed support for expanding private-care partnerships with VA hospitals, but his leadership is expected to keep the VA largely on its current course.
After the department was rocked by scandal related to long wait times, data fraud and poor medical care, Congress passed a bill in 2014 allowing some veterans to seek private care when waits at VA hospitals and clinics exceeded certain thresholds.
Some VA critics have pushed to dramatically increase the program, which some advocates feared would open up the program to include all veterans and lead inevitably to the massive health system's disintegration.
Further stoking the privatization fears, a former CEO of a group thought to be pushing for privatization, Pete Hegseth, had been floated as a potential Trump nominee to lead the VA. For its part, the group, Concerned Veterans for America, insists it is not seeking to dismantle the VA, but merely to reform it and offer more choice to veterans languishing on wait lists.
On Wednesday, Concerned Veterans for America issued a lukewarm statement : "While Shulkin already holds a leadership position at the VA, as Secretary, he will now have ultimate responsibility over the agency and we are hopeful he will take it in a new direction. CVA will seek to partner with Shulkin on urgently needed reforms, such as empowering veterans to access care outside the VA when the VA is failing them."
Other groups are taking a wait and see approach to Shulkin.
VoteVets, which bills itself as largest progressive organization of veterans in the country, said that "for Dr. Shulkin to gain our support, he must verify, under oath, that he will not implement any plan that would lead to full VA privatization–as Trump's Koch funded advisors laid out during the campaign."
Shulkin also has something of a local connection: in response to the VA Inspector General's finding earlier this year that a Waco brain research program wasted taxpayer money, which the American-Statesman was first to reveal, Shulkin said that the VA had started a redesign of the entire VA supply chain and changed how it manages such high-tech medical equipment as the Waco MRI system.

The PMA Store is open during regular museum hours.
Join us for a rare evening with Alex Katz, one of America's foremost painters. Katz is best known for his bold portraits of his family and friends, as well as images of Central Maine. Over his long and productive career, Katz has consistently depicted his subjects with a recognizably cool, detached style; his oftentimes large-scale paintings convey elegance through their crisp forms and palette. Katz was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1927, and studied at Cooper Union. In 1949, he received a scholarship to attend the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, which initiated his lifelong attachment to Maine. Katz divides his time between New York and Lincolnville, Maine. The PMA has a number of paintings by Katz on view, and in 2013 the museum acquired its first painting by Katz for the permanent collection, the 1965 work, Ada and Neil (Study for Lawn Party).
