SEC524: Cloud Security and Risk Fundamentals
Great outline for cloud security checks & risk assesment.
I believe this is the best cloud security out there that is extremey well balanced with relevant labs and provides a solid understanding of cloud security risks as more organizations are moving towards cloud.
SEC524: Cloud Security and Risk Fundamentals teaches you how to properly evaluate cloud providers and perform risk assessment. The course starts with a detailed introduction to the various cloud computing delivery models, ranging from Software as a Service (SaaS) to Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and everything in between. Each of these delivery models represents an entirely separate set of security conditions to consider, especially when coupled with various cloud types, including public, private, and hybrid.
Policy and governance within cloud environments will also be covered, including recommendations for both internal policies and contract provisions. This will lead us to a discussion of compliance and legal concerns. We'll also conduct a mock exercise to review a cloud provider's stated security capabilities and evaluate a simple risk score.
Day one of this two-day course will feature architecture and infrastructure fundamentals, plus a wide range of topics such as patch and configuration management, virtualization security, application security, and change management. As we walk through these fundamental cloud standards, you will learn how to immediately improve the ways in which your own team is deploying assets in the cloud.
Day two starts with an examination of disaster recovery and business continuity planning using cloud models and architecture. Cloud data storage has become common, so we'll discuss how to protect that data, utilizing many tactics including identity and access management protocols. New approaches for data encryption, network encryption, key management, and data lifecycle concerns will be covered in detail. This will be followed by a discussion on intrusion detection and incident response in cloud environments, along with how to best manage these critical security processes and the technologies that support them, given that most controls are managed by the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). We'll wrap up with a final risk assessment for your own projects potentially moving into cloud.
You Will Learn:
- Foundations of cloud policy and contracts
- Cloud risks, including threats and vulnerabilities
- The 14 domains of the Cloud Security Alliance's cloud security research
- Best practices for securing multiple layers of the cloud stack
- How to adapt security architecture, tools, and processes for use in cloud environments

Author Statement
"The cloud is everywhere! Migrating systems, applications, and data to the cloud presents a new set of challenges for security professionals. What kind of policies do we need to mitigate these challenges? How can we work with legal teams to incorporate language into contracts? How can we protect sensitive data with encryption, intrusion detection and prevention, and host and network access controls? Can we extend identity and access management tools and processes into the cloud?
Fundamentally, the cloud represents a move into environments where security teams are giving up some measure of control over how data and applications are protected. Due to capital and operational cost-saving issues, cloud-based services are becoming more attractive to business and organization leaders, and security teams will need to understand their options when presenting the risks to management. Our goal with SEC524: Cloud Security and Risk Fundamentals is to arm security and risk teams with the knowledge they need to assess risks in moving to the cloud. Managers, auditors, and systems and network administrators will also benefit, as we will delve into the technologies available for securing cloud-based assets while covering all the policies, processes, and compliance considerations that go along with this major technology shift."

Nothing suggests glamour quite like the summer home of an under-40 Manhattan media power couple in the celebrity-studded Hamptons. Especially when that couple's surname is Cuomo.
An award-winning journalist and coanchor of ABC's Good Morning America, Chris Cuomo is a man so handsome and personable he was named one of People magazine's "Most Beautiful People" a little more than a decade ago, just as W was anointing him "New York's most eligible bachelor." This son of former governor Mario Cuomo can jump from a 51-story building (he did just that on assignment last winter, though securely harnessed), dodge Iraqi fire while embedded in Baghdad (that was in January 2007), and report on everything from drug policy to hazing in high-school sports to affecting tales of human resilience in the face of adversity.
Equally accomplished is his magazine-executive wife, Cristina Greeven Cuomo, a woman who juggles career, social engagements, good causes, and small children--Bella is 5, Mario 2--so effortlessly that the trendy website Bag Snob recently dubbed her "one of the most fabulous mommies in New York." Descended from a founding father of modern Brazil on one side and Kaiser Wilhelm II's minister of state on the other, Greeven Cuomo is the editorial director of the luxury lifestyle publications Gotham and Hamptons and also represents the chic Spanish skin-care concern Natura Bissé in the U.S.
Intimidating, right? Think again. If you were expecting them to retreat to a mansion packed with priceless satins and trophy art, you've turned to the wrong page. The creation of architect Stephen Rossetti and decorator Emma Pilkington, the Cuomos' cedar-shingled home looks finely tailored--environments by Pilkington invariably are-- but it is definitely, as Cristina puts it, mellow. Like the family that inhabits it, people who pride themselves on being down-to-earth and rooted in tradition. Chris's favorite room is the kitchen, where he and the kids enjoy what he calls "adventures in cooking." Cristina, on the other hand, likes being outdoors, riding her bike with Bella, just as she did during her own childhood summers here.
A longtime friend of the couple who also happens to be young Mario's godmother, the Australia-born Pilkington cleverly translated her intimate knowledge of the Cuomos into a house that is a reflection of them--bohemian and worldly but well-mannered too. "I wanted it to feel young, to be relaxed, and yet still be elegant," says the designer, "but not seem studied, because that's not Chris and Cristina." From the looks of things, mission accomplished.
Bathed in sunlight that pours through French doors and sparkling windows and bounces off mirrored tables and other light-reflecting objects (a bit of shine is a Pilkington hallmark), the house feels airy, bright, and open--to the lawn outside, to visitors, to easy family living. Floors layered with woven sisal and furniture covered in crisp linens and soft cottons clearly mark the rooms as casual, and vibrant flashes of color act as instant mood lifters. Purple and blue ikats (in the study and master bedroom, respectively), scarlet curtains in the guest bedroom, a touch of tart green in the living room, and accents of what Pilkington calls acidy yellow help chase away city-induced fatigue. So it stands to reason that each time the Cuomos open the door after the long drive from Manhattan, they can sense this is a place to get happy.
The fact that the decoration of the house developed organically--with Pilkington's design sense interacting with client heirlooms and items from her own storage--plays a large part in this at-ease atmosphere. The green veins coursing through the marble of a 19th-century fireplace Cristina inherited from her maternal grandmother, for instance, led the designer to repeat the color in adjacent ground-floor rooms as well as in a decorative panel painted by her artist sister, Amy Pilkington. In the dining room and sunroom, gilded antique mirrors and iron chandeliers from a showhouse room decorated by Pilkington contrast with walls painted an enchanting pale blue. That color turned out to be a flattering backdrop for other heirlooms, including a narrow French farm table and a marble-top cocktail table, its dark finish stripped to the raw wood. A framed section of silvery wallpaper by Gracie emerged from Pilkington's storage to gently blend into the sprinkling of mirrored surfaces; along with it came a funky 1970s wall sculpture by C. Jeré, its bronze, brass, and copper disks complementing the decorator's careful dashes of warm yellow.
"If I'm not using something, I'd rather have it live in Cristina's house, where I can spend time," Pilkington explains. "It's the fun part of decorating with friends." Greeven Cuomo's delight in what her decorator has wrought is pretty clear. "You have this vision of what you want your life, your home, to be," she says. "Well, this goes beyond that. It is even more special than what I imagined."

Accounting for Geological and Geophysical Costs
BY PRESLEY S. FORD, JR. Partner, Tulsa Office Presented before the American Association of Women Accountants, Tulsa --June 1957
In order that we may intelligently approach the subject of accounting for geological and geophysical costs, let us first define what is meant by the term "geological and geophysical."
In the final analysis, oil is where you find it, and the drilling of a well is the only method by which to prove whether or not oil or gas occur beneath any given portion of the earth's surface. Yet, scientists in the ninety-eight years since the drilling of the Drake well have devised a variety of methods by which to predict the probable occurrence or nonoccurrence
of oil or gas and thereby reduce the great financial risks attendant upon the drilling of wells. Among these methods are the following:
1. Geological methods
(1) Location of surface oil or gas seeps — the original method for
the discovery of oil.
(2) Surface geology — the location through the study of surface
outcroppings of rock formations or stratigraphic features which are favorable to the occurrence of oil or gas.
(3) Sub-surface geology--the study of oil-bearing strata as re-
vealed in existing wells with a view to predicting the occur-rence of the same formations and favorable geologic struc-tures in other areas, through the correlation of the record of the rocks as it is revealed in the sedimentary beds laid down in the long course of earth history.
(4) Core drilling — the drilling of relatively shallow wells of small
diameter for the purposes of obtaining core samples of the rock strata occurring beneath the surface in an area where wells have not been drilled and of obtaining information as to the structure of the sub-surface rocks.
2. Geophysical methods
(1) Magnetic survey — the use of a magnetometer to measure vari-ations in the intensity of the earth's magnetic field in an area and, on the basis of these measurements, to map sub-surface structures resulting from the intrusion of igneous rocks which contain magnetic ferrous materials.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - After billions of dollars worldwide have been spent stockpiling the anti-flu drug Tamiflu, two new reports cast doubt on the medication's benefits and say its side effects may have been underestimated.
According to the widely respected Cochrane Collaboration, which analyzes past medical research, Tamiflu shortened the typical flu attack by just one day.
And it didn't seem to reduce the number of infected people who landed in the hospital.
There is "little evidence for the widespread beliefs about its benefits," said Peter Doshi, an author of one of the reports and a researcher at Johns Hopkins University.
Tamiflu, which goes by the chemical name oseltamivir, is an antiviral medication used to treat or prevent influenza.
The United States and other governments have stockpiled the drug to use in case of a flu outbreak, such as the 2009 pandemic.
As part of the Cochrane Collaboration, Doshi and his colleagues were tasked with collecting and analyzing all the available information on Tamiflu.
Unlike most other reviews that rely on reports published in medical journals, the group decided to comb through data from Roche, which manufactures Tamiflu, as well as health regulators in different countries.
Analyzing massive amounts of information from company-funded research, they found that the drug cut the time that people felt flu symptoms from about seven days to six days.
But Tamiflu did not reduce the number of people who ended up being hospitalized, and there was "no evidence it could stop (the spread of the) disease and no evidence it can reduce the risk of complications like pneumonia," said Doshi.
Doshi's team only looked at the randomized controlled trials — considered the "gold-standard" of medical evidence — which compared the drug to an inactive placebo. It also focused on people who did not have other health problems.
Another Cochrane review of flu medications, led by Dr. Kay Wang at the University of Oxford, looked at studies of more than 2,300 children up to 12 years old.
Wang's team found that Tamiflu and zanamivir, sold as Relenza, both reduced the time kids had flu symptoms by about one day, and Tamiflu also slightly reduced the chances that kids would develop an ear infection.
To prevent one extra case of flu, 13 kids would need to be treated. And some will get side effects. For instance, for every 17 kids treated with Tamiflu, there will be one more case of vomiting.
Despite the limited benefits, the researchers write that if "economic resources permit, oseltamivir may be considered for the treatment of children aged one to 12 years with influenza infection provided that therapy can be commenced within 48 hours of the start of the illness."
In a statement emailed to Reuters Health by Genentech, which markets Tamiflu for Roche, the company said the drug is safe and effective for the treatment and prevention of influenza.
"Numerous clinical trials and real-life medical experience show Tamiflu is effective in reducing the severity and duration of influenza symptoms as well as specified secondary complications," it said.
Dr. Frederick Hayden, a professor at the University of Virginia Medical School in Charlottesville who has served as an uncompensated advisor to manufacturers of anti-flu drugs since 2008, agreed that the drug is worthwhile.
"I think that there's no doubt that oseltamivir, the generic name, provides real benefit to patients when used in the appropriate populations," he told Reuters Health.
Hayden pointed out that Doshi's review did not incorporate results from observational studies, which monitor what happens in the real world outside of clinical trials.
"Despite the limitations of observational studies, they still can inform public health practice," especially when randomized clinical trials are unavailable, said Dr. Tim Uyeki, an influenza expert in the Influenza Division, at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For instance, during the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic, observational studies suggested that oseltamivir was effective at reducing severe outcomes among patients in the hospital, particularly when started within the first 48 hours of symptoms, but even up to five days later.
He added that the drug was found to be beneficial for seasonal flu patients too.
The CDC guidelines recommend that antiviral medications should be started immediately for hospitalized patients and people with chronic underlying health problems, pregnant women, elderly persons and young children if they develop signs and symptoms of influenza.
For people without health problems or who are not at a high risk of developing a severe illness, doctors can consider using an antiviral as long as it's within two days of the first signs of illness.
Uyeki said Doshi's study does not change any recommendations for the treatment of influenza, including the use of Tamiflu.
Doshi's group relied on unpublished results from Roche and writes in its report that the company provided only incomplete reports.
The researchers are calling for Roche to share more of its data on Tamiflu, so that independent reviewers can better analyze how well it works.
"We have an incredible source of data that already exists," Doshi told Reuters Health. "The drug company needs to share that data."
Hayden said it was "unfortunate" that Roche had not provided complete reports.
"I fully support that these data need to be shared, both the unpublished and published studies so they can be independently analyzed," he said.
Roche said in its statement that it provided "access to 3200 pages of very detailed information, enabling (the researchers') questions to be answered."
Influenza activity has been low to date, but it is expected to increase in the coming weeks.
Uyeki said that annual influenza vaccination is the best way to prevent the virus, and good hygiene may be helpful as well.

Approximately a week ago my wife and I mailed a birthday card to Betty Clelland at 9383 W. Weston Rd. This is the address in the phone book and our church directory. This was returned to us as NSN (no such number).
I took the letter to the Morenci post office and was told they don't have that number in their system so it must be a Clayton or Sand Creek address. I am going to guess, but I believe that Albert and Betty have lived at that address for a good number of years. They lived there before I retired from UPS and that was almost 14 years ago.
We hand delivered the card to Betty. I have to apologize to the post office as the correct address is 9382 and for the fact that probably the Clellands are so new to the community that hardly no one knows them.

FH Publishing needed a new print or packaging design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 113 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
Florida Hospital (FloridaHospital.com) Healthy 100 (Healthy100.org)
ABOUT FLORIDA HOSPITAL: For over 100 years the mission of Florida Hospital (FH) has been: To Extend the Healing Ministry of Christ. Opened in 1908, FH is comprised of 8 hospital campuses housing over 2,200 beds and twenty walk-in medical centers. With 17,000 employees—including 2,000 doctors and 4,000 nurses—FH serves the residents and guests of Orlando, the No. 1 tourist destination in the world. FH cares for over one million patients a year. FH is a Christian, faith-based hospital that believes in providing Whole Person Care in mind, body and spirit. Fast facts include:
• LARGEST ADMITTING HOSPITAL IN AMERICA. Ranked No. 1 in the nation for inpatient admissions by the American Hospital Association.
• HOSPITAL OF THE FUTURE. At the turn of the century, the Wall Street Journal named Florida Hospital the "Hospital of the Future".
• ONE OF AMERICA'S BEST HOSPITALS. Recognized by U.S. News & World Report as "One of America's Best Hospitals".
• SPORTS EXPERTS. FH has an enduring track record of providing exclusive medical care to many sports organizations including: The Orlando Magic NBA team, Disney's Wide World of Sports, Walt Disney World's Marathon Weekend, the Capital One Bowl, the World Cup and the Olympics.
Our target audience is healthcare professionals (Doctors, Nurses, Therapists and other caregivers) who truly want to give patients the best, most personalized care possible. You see, in Medical School students are trained to do many wonderful things. But they are not given much (if any) instruction on the unique differences among patients from different cultures, spiritual traditions, disability backgrounds, and generational divides. With this book, we hope to change that.
In healthcare, it is so important to understand as much about a patient's background as you can—so that you can provide more personalized patient care. This book can help. It can help doctors and nurses to treat each patient as the unique individual that they are.
Think about it. If your mother or father, brother or sister, son or daughter was in the hospital, wouldn't you want the doctor to be sensitive to their needs? Wouldn't you want the nurse to show compassion and understanding?
Here's our goal: all patients coming to a hospital will receive the same level of excellent service and personalized care no matter their age, gender, race, disability, or any other patient attribute. You can help make that happen!! Please help us by designing an awesome, attractive, non-boring cover that doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals will WANT to pick up and read.
This is going to be an oversized, hardcover, 4-color book, with no dust jacket. In your hand it will probably feel like a textbook or reference book. So that's a lot of space on the cover to design with.
FEEL: We would like this book to have a warm feeling that is both professional and attractive. Generally speaking we like we like clean, bright designs with fresh, vibrant colors and concepts. But the design also needs to speak of compassion.
KEY WORDS TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING: Healthcare, Professional, Compassion, Personal, Spiritual, and Cultural
2 THINGS WE DON'T WANT: 1) Avoid a "clinical" (i.e. boring) look; 2) We probably want to steer clear any obvious religious imagery such as a Christian cross.
Title: A Desk Reference to Personalized Patient Care
Subtitle: A Guide for Compassionate Healthcare Professionals on Enhancing the Patient Experience by Understanding Differences in
• Cultures
• Spiritual Traditions
• Disabilities
• and Generations
Sub-Sub Title: The Essential Guide for Physicians, Nurses, and Other Healthcare Professionals
Author: Aurora Realin, MBA
General Editor
NOTE: The "sub-sub title" could be in a burst, callout or line across bottom or top. Be creative!
Trim size: 8.5" x 10"
Oh, and this book will be made available for sale to hospitals, healthcare practices, and on major on-line retailers such as Amazon.

أخبار الفريق الأول
Pep: We knew it would be tough
Pep Guardiola was not surprised by Middlesbrough's spirited display at The Riverside.
The City boss expected a difficult afternoon with the hosts battling hard to try and preserve their Premier League status.
The Blues were forced to come from behind twice to earn a point that could yet prove crucial in the race for a top four finish.
"We were much better in the second half and created enough chances to win the game, but it's not easy against a side like Middlesbrough who are fighting down at the bottom," said Guardiola.
"I think the fight for the top four will go down to the last game - everyone who is competing for those places have tough games so it will not be easy but we give absolutely everything in these last few matches to try and be in there.
"Their first goal came from a counter-attack and their second was a typical goal that you see in England.
"In the first half we had problems to control their counter-attacks, but the second half was much better. We did absolutely everything to get the winner, but it wasn't enough. It's a point and we are still there and it now all depends on the final few games at the Etihad."
Regarding Gabriel Jesus' scoring return, the Blues' boss added: "I am pleased for him but he needs time. He's had three months out and has only had four training sessions. Ideally I wanted him to have 60 minutes, but what happened in the first half changed that but he is young and coped."

Urban Shield 2013: So much more than a 'SWAT thing'
Urban Shield is designed to strengthen preparedness— whether for a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or a lone gunman in an elementary school
If you were to ask a person who has never participated in Urban Shield what they thought it is, you'd likely hear a reply like, "It's that SWAT thing in California."
While that statement is correct — it is, indeed, a "SWAT thing in California" — it's not entirely complete.
In the five years I've attended and covered this event, every last participant with whom I've spoken has said nothing but great things about the SWAT training they receive. But Urban Shield is much, much more than "a SWAT thing."
SWAT, and More Than SWAT
First, let's address the SWAT component of this event. This year, 35 SWAT teams competed against each other to achieve the highest scores in three dozen training scenarios such as active shooter response, hostage rescue, and radiological device detection and disposal.
In this year's competition, Berkeley (Calif.) Police Department's SWAT team won it all, with Alameda County Sheriff's Office in second and San Francisco PD in third. I would venture to say that while those three teams walked away with some hardware for the trophy case, every single team returned home with two things even more valuable: knowledge and experience.
Teams contended with challenges "ripped from the headlines," fashioned after real-world events like the United States Embassy attack in Benghazi, the terrorist takeover of the In Amenas facility in Algeria, the 2012 Camp Liberty murders, the Navy Shipyard attack in September, the Boston Marathon bombing, and the tragic attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
It is the most grueling SWAT competition I know about — if a tougher one exists, I look forward to one day seeing it — so safety is of paramount concern. Site security and safety checks for volunteers and observers are the most stringent imaginable.
Medical checkpoints are spaced evenly over the 48-hour schedule, where the physical condition of every participant is verified good to go. In addition, Mobile Medical Checkpoints were on hand to go anywhere in the exercise for any team members who experienced medical issues.
It is also an amazing opportunity for dozens of equipment vendors to get their gear into the hands of some of the top SWAT teams in the country, telling them, effectively, "Use this in the upcoming scenario. Here's how it works. Now go out there and see if you can break that thing, and when you're done, tell us how you liked it (or didn't)."
Urban Shield represents the future of preparedness planning and evaluation and has become a national template to evaluate regional public safety preparedness across and between disciplines. Urban Shield incorporates all of public safety — this year if you added fire and EMS teams together, they actually outnumbered SWAT teams — and tests every facet of an area's emergency response capabilities.
An International Investment in Public Safety
Further, it's not just a weekend event. Urban Shield is a year-long enterprise that culminates in a 48-hour exercise managed under the National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Standardized Emergency Management System (SEMS) protocols.
It's an opportunity for local first responders to forge deep and lasting partnerships with management and working personnel at myriad potential targets in the area — from water treatment facilities to colleges to rail yards and oil refineries. In the planning process alone, these potential targets become hardened as the people on all sides become smarter about how to work together in an emergency.
Finally, Urban Shield is no longer "a California thing." That's probably the most interesting element to the whole — largely untold — story of Urban Shield. It is a repeatable model for first responder training that can be stood up just about anywhere, provided you've got the commitment and the capacity to pull it off (it does require thousands of hours of planning and preparation).
Boston has now held two Urban Shield exercises, and on the weekend of November 9-10, the first North Central Texas Urban Shield will take place. Boston is interesting in no small part because after the Marathon bombing in April, several elected officials and public safety leaders specifically credited Urban Shield with preparing their people for that prolonged, highly complex response.
Urban Shield is now an international event. In years past, I've watched SWAT teams from Bahrain, France, Jordan, and Israel compete. This year, a team from Brazil competed.
While attending about a dozen scenarios during the 2013 event, I ran into observers from around the country and around the world. Emergency management planners from Brazil were here, gathering information as they begin to plan their own Urban Shield event. I'm told Urban Shield is likely to be held in places like the Middle East and Africa in coming years.
Urban Shield is designed to strengthen an area's preparedness for disaster — whether that be a natural disaster, a mass-casualty terrorist attack, or a lone gunman in an elementary school. The event is designed to get responders as ready as they can be to respond to — and prevent, to the extent possible — potential terrorist attacks, major disasters, and other emergencies requiring a multi-jurisdictional, multi-discipline response from public safety.
Urban Shield allows participating agencies a practical opportunity to evaluate their tactical team's level of preparedness and ability to perform a variety of intricate first responder operations. This allows each participating agency to evaluate its own tactical capabilities while training together with EMS, fire, and EOD.
In the five years I've been privileged enough to be part of the exercise, I've regularly asked, "What did you think of Urban Shield?" I invariably get a reply along the lines of, "That was the best [bleeping] training I've ever done."

Dr. R. Richard Ray Jr., a long-time member of the Hope College faculty who is the dean for the social sciences and a professor of kinesiology at Hope, has been appointed the college's new provost.
Dr. R. Richard Ray Jr., a long-time member of the Hope College faculty who is the dean for the social sciences and a professor of kinesiology at Hope, has been appointed the college's new provost.
Ray will succeed Dr. James Boelkins, who is retiring at the end of the school year after serving as provost since 2002. The appointment, made after a nationwide search, was announced following the May 6-7 meeting of the college's Board of Trustees.
"In his 28 years at Hope, Rich Ray has provided outstanding leadership as a member of the faculty and administration while also earning the highest acclaim nationally for his service and scholarship within his discipline of athletic training," said Dr. James E. Bultman, president of Hope College. "I'm confident he will lead us to new levels of distinction as our chief academic officer."
Ray has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1982, and has been dean for the social sciences since 2008. He chaired the department of kinesiology at Hope from 2003 until his appointment as dean. For several years, he was the college's head athletic trainer, and he developed the academic program in athletic training at Hope.
"Hope College has a unique place in the higher education community. The ability to offer outstanding, nationally recognized academic programs while simultaneously helping students to develop spiritually is a rare combination--one that makes Hope College a terrific value at a time when so many undergraduate colleges look the same," Ray said.
"I count it a distinct privilege to be able to serve Hope College as its next provost," he said. "Following the examples provided by Jim Boelkins and provost emeritus Jack Nyenhuis, I pledge my very best efforts to partner with the faculty--one of the brightest and most committed groups of people anywhere--to provide an academic program that transforms our students for lives of leadership and service in a global society."
Under Ray's leadership, the college's athletic training program grew into a full major. Hope was one of the first Michigan colleges to have its athletic training program accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP).
In addition to his other service to Hope, he led the college's successful effort to seek re-accreditation in 2004 by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.
Ray has been extensively involved in the discipline of athletic training at the regional and national level. He was co-chair of the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) Education Task Force, was president of the Great Lakes Athletic Trainers' Association (GLATA) from 1990 to 1992, and is also a member and former president of the Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society. He is former editor of the professional journal "Athletic Therapy Today" and served as associate editor of the "Journal of Athletic Training."
Ray has received multiple honors through the years in recognition of his service to his profession and teaching. In June 2006, he was elected to the NATA Hall of Fame, the highest honor in the athletic training profession.
In March of this year, he received the Golden Pinnacle Award from GLATA during the association's Winter Meeting, held in Detroit. GLATA had previously presented him with an "Outstanding Educator Award" in March 2004 and a "Distinguished Service Award" in March 2002.
In June 2001, he received the "Sayers 'Bud' Miller Distinguished Educator Award" from NATA. In May of 1999, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame by the Michigan Athletic Trainers' Society, which had presented him with its "Distinguished Athletic Trainer Award" in 1995. In September 2009, he received the Career Achievement Award from the Kinesiology Alumni Society of the University of Michigan.
Ray has a wide range of research interests, and has received several grants to support his work. He is the editor or author of the books "Management Strategies in Athletic Training" (2005, 2000, 1994), "Counseling in Sports Medicine" (1999) and "Case Studies in Athletic Training Administration" (1995), all published by Human Kinetics. He has written numerous articles in scientific publications, and has presented papers at professional conferences.
He is a 1979 graduate of the University of Michigan and completed his master's and doctorate from Western Michigan University in 1980 and 1990 respectively.
Prior to joining the Hope faculty, Ray was an assistant athletic trainer at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., for two years. While pursuing his master's degree he served as head athletic trainer at Kalamazoo College and as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at Western Michigan University.
His wife, Carol, is a member of the college's Health Center staff. They have three grown children, all of whom attended Hope: Richard, a 2004 graduate; Sarah, a 2007 graduate; and Matthew, who is graduating this year.

About Oval
Originally a group that, through attrition, developed into a solo outlet for founding member Markus Popp, Oval were perhaps known more for how they made their music than for the music itself. Their intriguing update of some elements of avant-garde composition, in combination with techniques of digital sound design, resulted in some of the most original, if somewhat challenging, electronic music of the 1990s. After Oval helped establish glitch as a distinct style -- as exemplified by Mille Plateaux's Clicks + Cuts compilation series -- Popp utilized his own compositional software; collaborated with Gastr de Sol, Björk, and several other musicians; and maintained a sporadic release schedule.
Formed in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1991, Oval released their earliest work through tapes that were distributed to friends. At the time, the group consisted of Popp, Holger Lindmüller, Frank Metzger, and Sebastian Oschatz. Lindmüller departed prior to the making of Oval's proper debut album, Wohnton, released on Ata Tak in 1993. After 1994's Systemisch and 1995's 94 Diskont, both of which were released on Mille Plateaux, Metzger and Oschatz left Oval to Popp, who continued to develop the group's approach. It could be described as "prepared compact disc": manually marred and scarified CDs played and sampled for the resultant somewhat randomly patterned rhythmic clicking. Layered together with subtle, sparse melodies and quirky electronics, the results were often as oddly musical as they were just plain odd. Popp's remixes of Chicago post-rock group Tortoise brought his work in contact with American audiences. Oval's 1994 and 1995 releases, as well as Popp's work as Microstoria (with Mouse on Mars' Jan St. Werner), were subsequently issued in the U.S. by Thrill Jockey. Popp's activities during the decade's latter half included 1998's Dok, which featured input from Christophe Charles, and a handful of short-form releases.
Popp's release schedule was sporadic during the 2000s and 2010s, though 2000 and 2001 were two of his busiest years, involving three Oval albums -- Ovalprocess, Pre/Commers, and Ovalcommers -- as well as a pair of Microstoria albums. As So, Popp collaborated with vocalist Eriko Toyada on a self-titled album released in 2003. Oval remained dormant for several years until O (2010), which was trailed by a split LP with Liturgy (2011). OvalDNA (2011), released on Shitkatapult, reconfigured elements from the Oval back catalog and added a DVD. Calidostópia! (2013) was Popp's most adventurous project yet, the result of taking recent finished and unfinished material to Brazil and having it transformed by the addition of vocalists. Companion album Voa followed later in the year. A limited cassette titled September appeared in 2014. In 2016, Oval went in an unexpectedly club-inspired direction with the colorful, maximalist album Popp, released by Popp's own Uovooo label. ~ Sean Cooper & Andy Kellman

Change deadlines happen two weeks before the public release of each Fedora Alpha, Beta, and Final release.
At the change deadline, pushes to the branched development repository are suspended until the release candidate is accepted.
A push is a release engineering term for moving a package into a particular repository of packages. After a release has been branched, a new or updated package must receive testing feedback via Bodhi before it is allowed into the stable branch.
The branched development repository is the repository of packages that were originally branched from rawhide or have been updated through the Bodhi process. For example, the branched development repository path for Fedora 32 is
Alpha and Beta public releases
At the change deadlines for Alpha and Beta, pushes to the branched development repository (e.g.
/pub/fedora/linux/development/32), are suspended until the Release Candidate has been successfully tested and staging has started to the mirrors.
- What can be pushed into the branched development repository?
- Only blocker bugs of a public release (critical path or not) can be pushed to a branched development repository during this interim period, until the Release Candidate is ready to stage to mirrors.
- Where should other changes be pushed?
- Pushes may continue to the updates-testing repository.

Denver frocks out
When there is a line of fashionably dressed people queued up outside of the Denver Public Library at 7 p.m. on a cold December night, you know something's up. That was the case for Frock Out, which drew more than 500 people to a Fresh City Life-sponsored show and competition between 12 Denver area designers.
A group including the library's Chris Loffelmacher and Tran Wills of the Fabric Lab picked the designers, who spent several months churning out outfits. Denver Fabrics provided all the fabrics for the challenges, which were to make an outfit for each season, plus one that represented the designer's vision. Each season had a corresponding fabric that designers were supposed to use: cotton, linen, wool and silk. The winter ensembles were on display at the library and online for about a month and attracted a lot of attention because they were so well executed. Many were gowns, in rich plaids (Jose Clark's outfit, left) or shiny charmeuse, draped velvet and pleated silk.
Tran Wills, who was one of the competition's judges, is in a position to know about local designers as she has gone from selling the work of a half dozen to 20 in the five years she's owned her Colfax Avenue boutique.
Design in Denver has come a long way in the past decade, but like other artists, fashion creators often have trouble supporting themselves doing their own work. Stephanie Ohnmacht, who won both the people's choice award and the main prize in Frock Out, has a job in telecommunications marketing. Jose Clark works at Tehama sportswear.
Melissa May, 21, who turns out cute girly dresses, is working at a fabric store despite having a degree in design and merchandsing from Colorado State University. We liked not only her clothes, but her spunk. She went to Los Angeles a while back to try out for Bravo TV's "Project Runway."
"They told me they liked my designs but they wanted me to get some more experience," May said. For now, she's selling her designs at Fabirc Lab and Fancy Tiger.
And,like the 11 others, hoping for a break.

Chris Brown says he's "really sorry" for his attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna and that he never had problems with anger before. In an upcoming interview with ABC News' 20/20, the R&B singer speaks out about the attack and his past.
"I was wrong for what I did," Brown told ABC News in an interview to be broadcast Friday. "And I would definitely say that it's not something that I look past or look over. Something that's really, really touchy. And, and like I said, I'm -- I'm really sorry for -- for what went down. And what happened."
Brown was arrested February for assaulting Rihanna during an argument. He was sentenced to five years of probation and 180 days of community service, which he served.

In the interview, Brown insists he doesn't have anger issues.
"I never ever had problems with anger. No, no domestic violence with any of my past girlfriends," Brown said. "I never was that kind of person. ... I look at it, and it's really, like really difficult. It's like, 'How could I be that person?'"

Ret gets neat fixes all the time, it's just that all those fixes are nerfs so you don't think they are very creative at all.
Made me laugh, in any case.
Really disappointed to see the DI change reverted. Currently, DI is a liability on any serious content, because Bloodlust/Heroism is so important.
Edit: DI changed to "This ability now also removes Exhaustion or Sated from a target if the recipient is out of combat when the effect ends."
That's a good compromise.

Colorado House District 39 GOP primary recount begins in Teller, Douglas counties
A recount is underway in House District 39, an open seat in Douglas and Teller counties where Polly Lawrence beat Lu Ann Busse for the Republican nomination in the June primary.
Unofficial results showed Lawrence had defeated Busse 53.5 percent to 46.4 percent, or 3,525 votes to 3,056 votes. The district was newly drawn in the legislative redistricting process in 2011 and includes large portions of rural Douglas County and all of Teller County.
Though the margin Lawrence won by was large enough to avoid any automatic recount, Busse still had the right to request a recount – which she must pay for. The recount in Teller County was underway Monday, and the recount in Douglas County begins Tuesday.
In a letter to Colorado Secretary of State requesting the recount, Busse noted there were no provisional ballots issued in Douglas County, which she called one of a number of "irregularities" that occurred in the county during the election.

Hwy. 9 safety project closer to approval
KREMMLING – Highway 9 is one step closer to receiving CDOT funding for an ambitious safety improvement project.
Over the spring and summer, local grassroots organizations raised $9.2 million improve a 10-mile stretch of the route linking Summit and Grand counties. The highway is considered unsafe due to numerous wildlife crossings and poor site distance.
Necessary realignments, crossing and improvements for the highway have a hefty price tag – about $46 million. Local residents and interested parties hope the Colorado Department of Transportation will pick up the remaining bill through its Responsible Acceleration of Maintenance and Partnerships Program.
A final decision won't be made until Oct. 17, but on Sept. 19, the Highway 9 project proposal went to the Transportation Commission for review on the Staff Recommended Project List. CDOT received a total of 166 applications requesting more than $1.5 billion, and more than twice the amount of funding available. The staff recommendation narrowed candidate projects to $630 million in partnership projects.
If approved in October, construction will begin in 2014 and is expected to take two years. The RAMP program requires projects to be completed by 2017. Grand County has pledged $3.1 million to support the project.

My quest to take volcano cake and turn it into volcano cupcakes began when my Twitter (and real life) friend Linda from Free Range Cookies (home of some of the best gluten-free baked goods in St. Louis) asked the following:
Truth be told, I had never heard of volcano cake or volcano cupcakes. But, I got excited about the idea!
I found the video below about volcano cake on YouTube and thought that volcano cupcakes would make the most awesome party cupcakes ever!!
But, being me, I decided to do things a bit differently. I saw a recipe for plum upside down cake on Simply Recipes and it occurred to me that the plums strongly resembled molten lava (if you use your imagination). So, instead of a plain white cake with chocolate frosting, I decided that I would use plum upside down cupcakes as my volcano cupcakes. I was happy with this choice. Not only did the upside down cupcakes look like little volcanoes, but they also tasted better than your average volcano.
Unfortunately, I was not thrilled with the eruption part of my volcano cupcakes. There were two problems that I faced:
- When you make a volcano cake, as shown in the video above, you embed a glass in the cake to contain the dry ice and liquid. I did not have any glass small enough to embed in a cupcake. I tried lining the hollowed out cupcake center with foil and plastic wrap, but I was not able to keep the liquid from being absorbed into the cake.
- I was unable to get a really big and dramatic eruption. I could only achieve small puffs of smoke. Lots of dry ice = big eruption. Tiny pieces of dry ice = tiny eruption.
Please share in the comments any suggestions that you have for how to solve these quandaries. I'd love to hear your thoughts and successes.
In the meantime, I will share with you the method that worked best for me. Even though I wasn't thrilled with the results, I still think it could be fun for a party. But, really, I think anything involving dry ice is fun (except for touching it!).
How to Make Volcano Cupcakes
1. Make the upside down cupcakes:
As I mentioned above, I used Simply Recipe's plum upside down cake recipe for the cupcakes. I have reprinted the recipe below (I modified it slightly to turn it into cupcakes).
Makes 24 cupcakes
- 1 1/2 C unsalted butter (3 sticks), room temperature
- 3/4 C brown sugar, firmly packed
- 4 plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 C buttermilk
- 2 1/4 C cake flour
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 1 t cinnamon
- pinch salt
- 1 1/2 C granulated sugar
- Zest of 1 orange
- 3 eggs
- 3 t vanilla extract
- Melt 3/4 cup of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add brown sugar and whisk until smooth.
- Line two cupcake tins with cupcake liners. Pour the mixture into the liners, dividing the sugar/butter sauce evenly among them.
- Arrange a layer of plum slices on top of the mixture as shown in the photo above.
- In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Use an electric mixer to beat together the remaining 3/4 cup butter with the granulated sugar and orange zest.
- Add the eggs and vanilla, mix to combine.
- Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the buttermilk to the batter.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners.
- Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes, until cupcakes are firm to the touch, and a toothpick or skewer inserted in the center does not come out with raw batter on it. (Might be wet from plum juice.)
- Remove from oven and let cool on a rack until no longer hot to the touch.
- Unwrap the cupcakes and turn them upside down.
2. Acquire dry ice:
The difficult part about this step is finding dry ice. Some ice cream shops keep dry ice on hand and may be willing to sell it to you with or without the purchase of ice cream. I was able to find (after my husband made a bunch of phone calls) a local dry ice supplier, Arctic Ice. They were super nice and even chopped the ice for me so I wouldn't need a hammer (like the folks in the video).
Store your dry ice in a cooler, not in the freezer (the guy at Arctic Ice said the freezer is the worst place for dry ice) and use it within 24 hours.
3. Prepare the cupcakes:
I chose to put my cupcakes on that cheesy fake grass stuff that you find on patios. You can buy a few feet of it really cheaply at Home Depot or Lowes. If you are having a party, you might consider using the fake grass as your tablecloth!
I put some graham crackers around the volcanoes to act as rocks. You can buy them or make homemade graham crackers.
Make a hole in the middle of each cupcake that goes almost all the way to the bottom.
Line the holes with something that will keep the liquid from getting into the cake. As I mentioned above, I tried foil and plastic wrap and neither worked very well; maybe you have a better idea.
4. Drop in a small piece of dry ice:
Drop a small piece of dry ice into each of the holes. Make sure that you press it down to the bottom of the hole. Be careful not to touch the dry ice!
5. Create the poof:
Mix a little bit of red food coloring in with some boiling water and drop a few spoonfuls of the mixture onto the dry ice. Poof – eruption! Again, I warn you, it's not the most dramatic Hollywood effect. But, you guys are smart. I bet you can play with it and make these the most awesome party cupcakes ever!
Parting Photo
I leave you with a photo of Jonathan and me in front of the only active volcano I've ever seen, Tungurahua. It's one of my favorite photos from our honeymoon in Ecuador.

Guest post by Salina Khan
While some Southerners have welcomed the recent influx of immigrants and diversity to Middle Tennessee, others are vowing to fight the "third world invasion."
With the global refugee crisis at its worst in 20 years (currently 45 million displaced people around the world, according to the United Nations), people facing war, political persecution and poverty in their native countries are on the move, desperately looking for new places to make home and sometimes finding their way to the Nashville Metro area.
While we should accommodate and get along with those who are already here, the brunt of our efforts should be focused on addressing the root cause of this forced migration: Western imposition of neo-liberal capitalism to every corner of the world for the benefit of the 1 percent.
We must change U.S. imperialist foreign policies and end perpetual wars against resource-rich countries, stop backing dictators who serve the needs of our multi-national corporations instead of their own people and no longer force countries to adopt economic policies that fill the pockets of our elite while starving the native masses (through IMF, World Bank and central banks).
Our policies are causing destablilization throughout the world, allowing corporations to easily take over foreign markets while importing refugees as cheap labor to boot.
To end this oppression and bring peace, justice and prosperity for everbody, we must stay focused on the source of the problem and not get caught up in differences in our race, language and faith, which only keep us divided and conquered.

void reset( pointer ptr = pointer() );

Replaces the managed object.
current_ptr, the pointer that was managed by
*this, performs the following actions, in this order:
- Saves a copy of the current pointer old_ptr = current_ptr
- Overwrites the current pointer with the argument current_ptr = ptr
- If the old pointer was non-empty, deletes the previously managed object if(old_ptr != nullptr) get_deleter()(old_ptr).

[Bearbeiten] Notes
To replace the managed object while supplying a new deleter as well, move assignment operator may be used.
A test for self-reset, i.e. whether
ptr points to an object already managed by
*this, is not performed, except where provided as a compiler extension or as a debugging assert. Note that code such as p.reset(p.release()) does not involve self-reset, only code like p.reset(p.get()) does.

#include <iostream> #include <memory> struct Foo { Foo() { std::cout << "Foo...\n"; } ~Foo() { std::cout << "~Foo...\n"; } }; struct D { void operator() (Foo* p) { std::cout << "Calling delete for Foo object... \n"; delete p; } }; int main() { std::cout << "Creating new Foo...\n"; std::unique_ptr<Foo, D> up(new Foo(), D()); // up owns the Foo pointer (deleter D) std::cout << "Replace owned Foo with a new Foo...\n"; up.reset(new Foo()); // calls deleter for the old one std::cout << "Release and delete the owned Foo...\n"; up.reset(nullptr); }

R.I.P Tutankhamen, African King
Tutankhamen was African – as were those who built the great pyramids of ancient Egypt – as the great scholar the late Cheik Anta Diop has proven in his classic writings, including "The African Origin Of Civilization�
[Black Star News Editorial]
The truth cannot be concealed forever.
Many of us were not surprised when Tutankhamen body was at least unveiled and it was shown that his face and body was Black. Why should it come as any surprise?
He was African – as were those who built the great pyramids of ancient Egypt – as the great scholar the late Cheik Anta Diop has proven in his classic writings, including "The African Origin Of Civilization," please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheikh_Anta_Diop
The boy king's tomb was first exposed and desecrated – not "discovered" as the perverted corporate media keep stating—some 85 years ago by a British trespasser, Howard Carter.
And for almost a century, debate has raged whether Tutankhamen was Black or "Caucasian." Those who insisted he was Caucasian were never able to bring themselves to believe that the Pyramids were built by Africans. Just as even today Europeans cannot bring themselves to accept that the great ruins of Zimbabwe were built by Africans; and that Africa is the source of all human beings.
So it was no surprise that all these years the powers-that-be did not want to expose Tutankhamen's body because of the obvious fact—the whole world would be able to see that he was African.
Corporate media have been referring to the King's "ancient skin the color of charcoal" and "texture of old leather." Well to us that is simply B-L-A-C-K.
The Boy King died mysterious ate age 19 some 3,000 years ago in; he had ruled since he was eight. He was buried with fabulous riches.
Now that the debate has ended, the desecration should stop. The road shows, whereby the remains have been carried around the world to earn revenues for Egypt's treasurer should stop. Let the African King rest in peace.

Kia Spectra Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Best practices
When the timing chain tensioner has failed, there may be damage to the timing chain guide rails or engine front cover, so the technician may recommend further inspection or changing the oil to check for debris.
For engines with more than one timing chain tensioner, they should be replaced as a set.
Common symptoms
A worn tensioner will give the timing chain too much slack, and this may lead to a slapping noise, especially when first starting the engine.
A worn tensioner may also cause the check engine light to come on, and the engine may run rough, hesitate or stall.
Common misdiagnoses
The sound of timing chain slap is similar to a tapping lifter at startup, so many times they are not replaced because the sound goes away after a few moments.
Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement Cost Estimates
The average cost for a Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement is between $389 and $475 but can vary from car to car.

ro:Netcfg zh-CN:Netcfg Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary end Netctl is a new Arch project slated to replace netcfg. Users should regard it as the future of CLI-based network management on Arch Linux.
The netctl package is available in [core]. Installing netctl will replace netcfg. As of netctl version 0.7, optional dependencies include
- dialog, for menu based WiFi assistance (
- dhclient, for DHCP support
- dhcpcd, for DHCP support (instead of dhclient)
- wpa_supplicant, for wireless network support
- ifplugd, for automatic wired connections through
- ifenslaved, for bond connections
- bridge-utils, for bridge connections
- ppp, for pppoe connection
Recommended Reading
Considerable effort has gone into the construction of quality man pages. Users are encouraged to read the following man pages prior to using netctl:
- netctl
- netctl.profile
- netctl.special
netctl may be used to introspect and control the state of the systemd services for the network profile manager. Example configuration files are provided for the user to assist them in configuring their network connection. These example profiles are located in
/etc/netctl/examples/. The common configurations include:
- ethernet-dhcp
- ethernet-static
- wireless-wpa
- wireless-wpa-static
To use an example profile, simply copy one of them from
/etc/netctl/examples/<profile> to
/etc/netctl/<profile> and configure it to your needs:
# cp /etc/netctl/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/netctl/my-wireless-wpa
Once you have created your profile, make an attempt to establish a connection using the newly created profile by running:
# netctl start <profile>
If issuing the above command results in a failure, then use
journalctl -xn and
netctl status <profile> in order to obtain a more in depth explanation of the failure. Make the needed corrections to the failed configuration and retest.
Once the profile is started successfully then it can be
enabled using
netctl enable <profile>. This will create the proper symlink for the profile to be used by
netctl-auto@<interface>.service will need to be enabled in order to allow automatic wireless connection at boot to become functional.
netctl reenable <profile> will have to executed in order to apply the changes.
Migrating from netcfg
netctl uses
/etc/netctl to store its profiles, not
/etc/network.d (
netcfg's profile storage location).
In order to migrate from netcfg, at least the following is needed:
- Move network profile files to the new directory.
- Rename variables therein according to netctl.profile(5) (most have only become CamelCase i.e CONNECTION= becomes Connection=).
- Unquote interface variables and other variables that don't strictly need quoting (this is mainly a style thing).
- Run
netctl enable <profile>for every profile in the old NETWORKS array. 'last' doesn't work this way, see netctl.special(7).
- Use
netctl list/
netctl start <profile>instead of netcfg-menu. wifi-menu remains available.
Password Encryption (256-bit PSK)
Users not wishing to have their passwords stored in plain text have the option of generating a 256-bit Encrypted PSK.
If you have not done so already, install wpa_actiond from the [core] repository using pacman
# pacman -S wpa_actiond
Next, generate your 256-bit Encrypted PSK using wpa_passphrase:
Usage: wpa_passphrase [ssid] [passphrase]
$ wpa_passphrase archlinux freenode
In a second terminal window copy the example file
wireless-wpa from
/etc/netctl/examples to
# cp /etc/netctl/examples/wireless-wpa /etc/netctl/wireless-wpa
You will then need to edit
/etc/netctl/wireless-wpa using your favorite text editor and add the Encrypted Pre-shared Key that was generated early using wpa_passphrase to the
Key variable of this profile.
Once completed your network profile
wireless-wpa containing a 256-bit Encrypted PSK should resemble:
Description='A simple WPA encrypted wireless connection using 256-bit Encrypted PSK' Interface=wlp2s2 Connection=wireless Security=wpa IP=dhcp ESSID=archlinux Key=\"64cf3ced850ecef39197bb7b7b301fc39437a6aa6c6a599d0534b16af578e04a
