RightLink Agent Security Features & Upgrading from V4 RightImages
A fundamental problem in cloud management is "how do I get the remote instance to do what I want it to?" Taking this task on for a few systems is doable with a number of techniques, making it scale for many thousands is not quite as simple. At RightScale, we have been on the bleeding edge of this issue since the early days of cloud computing, and we have learned a lot along the way. One of those...Read more
Applying Security Workarounds in the RightScale Universe
In a previous post I discussed some of the options for patch management in the RightScale cloud management platform. This time I will talk about what happens when a patch is not available through traditional patch channels from the vendor.Read more
Security Patching in the RightScale Universe
Security vulnerabilities happen, not only in technology but also in life in general. When we are made aware of those vulnerabilities, we need to "fix" things or mitigate them to the best extent possible. In IT, that is typically synonymous with installing security patches or workarounds. Here we explain how to best do patch management using the RightScale cloud management platform.Read more
Performing Security Testing in the Cloud
Security testing is one aspect of a security program that is often overlooked. Organizations who take security seriously understand that testing systems and applications is just smart business. We feel that one way we can help our customers is to describe the process, and nuances, of our testing process.Read more

Reprimanded by the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners
This vet has been reprimanded by the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners and has had his license revoked for two years for abusing animals in his care. There is report after report of him choking and hitting animals in his clinic. I knew someone who worked there (and quit within a week) who witnessed this herself. Here is the record of the reprimand from the State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners: http://texasveterinaryrecords.110mb.com/Hanks%201994-02.pdf Do not support this "vet".

Anyone? Anyone? Purchased a file but there is only license download link, not file? Same with the other files in my Download Que.
Good to know that will be addressed in the future, it is helpful to have metadata searchable even once a file is purchased, it's a bonus of iStock images, except for the whole horribly overpriced part! I should have created a bookmark folder, but I had the hardest time recreating the search terms I initially used, and my browser history did not go back far enough of course. All's well, it took some doing, but I did find all my images. Thanks for the reply.
I grabbed a bunch of photos for spec purposes with the envato watermark. I made the mistake of not bookmarking them. I need to purchase the photos now and assumed I would be able to enter the actual name of the file, or info from the metadata to get back to the original photos. Unlike iStock, this does not work on Photodune. Has anyone ever searched and found a photo based on the metadata of the comp image?

I always struggle when it comes to choosing gifts for some members of my family, men especially. When GiftsOnline4U asked me to have a look at their website and let them know what I thought I jumped at the chance. I thought this would help me find the perfect gift for my brother's birthday.
The first thing I did was have a little look to find out a bit more about the company. By looking at their contact me page I found that they have a real shop which is based in Spalding in Lincolnshire. The company started with WineGifts4U and they have developed what they learnt from this to create GiftsOnline4U. They specialise in personalised gifts, engraved gifts and unusual gifts which are meant to suit all occasions and all recipients.
The first thing I noticed was that delivery within the UK is free. This is something that is brilliant, postage cost is something that often puts me off buying on-line. I then decided to have a look and see if I could find something that I would buy. There is a wide range of personalised gifts from Mugs, Glasses, Bottles and soft toys as well as personalised drawstring bags in football team colours. I know my son would love a Newcastle one for his PE kit and the fact it has is name on will stop it getting lost.
Ideally I want something for my brother so I had a look to see how you could search on the site. You can look for gifts in different categories. These are Personalised Gifts, Engraved Gifts, Alcohol Gifts, Gifts by Occasion, Gifts for People, Gifts by Type, Sporting Gifts and Football Gifts. You can also narrow each category further using Gifts by Price which is great if you have a budget. I decided to try the Gifts for People section and see what I could find.
There did not seem to be a Gifts for Brothers section, although there is a Gifts for Sisters so I had a look in Gifts for Men.
The first thing that caught my eye was this guitar wine bottle holder which is £39.99
My brother is a guitar player and loves quirky and unusual things. I think he would love this to have on his table when his friends are round. It is definitely unusual and a bottle of wine could be added as an extra.
I also found this penknife that goes on your keyring which I think would be very useful
There are always occasions when a pocket knife is handy and having one on your keyring is a great idea. The knife can be engraved with a name or message and is £18.99
Finally I found this Jack Daniels Gift-set which was £69.99 and would be great for a special birthday
The glass can be personalised with a name and a message which makes it a little bit more special and a keepsake.
The site is easy to browse and I managed to find three gifts my brother would love in a very short space of time. It would be useful if you could remove some of the football teams from the search as you do get a lot of personalised football gifts from the wrong team which makes the search a bit longer. That really is a minor niggle though, if I can find something for the men in my life that they love then it is worth having a look.
You can find more information on the GiftsOnline4U website.
Disclosure: I will be receiving a thank you gift from GiftsOnline4U for an honest review of their website. I was not told what to write and my opinions are my own.

Temperatures are set to plunge as low as -2C tonight as a cold snap grips the country.
London was well below freezing last night too, with mercury falling to as low as -3C.
This weekend freezing weather is set to blanket the country with up to four inches of snow.
Many parts of the UK will struggle to see temperatures go above freezing.
Motorists are being warned about freezing fog that formed overnight across the Midlands, East Anglia and central and southern England.
Areas in the south east and the North Sea coast have seen little more than a tiny amount of snow so far.
Snowfall yesterday led to 42 schools being closed in Norfolk and all planes grounded at Norwich International Airport.
The lowest temperatures overnight were -12.7C at Braemar in Scotland and -12.1C at Houghton Hall in Norfolk, according to forecasters.
Gemma Plumb, a forecaster with MeteoGroup, said it had been bitterly cold for much of the UK overnight - average temperatures were between -3C and -7C, and -3C in London - with worse to come.
"Most places are looking like they will be dry today, with some sunny spells around. But fog and low cloud could linger in places like the East Midlands and East Anglia, with further outbreaks of sleet and snow across parts of western Scotland," Ms Plumb said.
"But it is going to be very cold today, with many places struggling to see temperatures rising above freezing.
"Parts of Scotland, northern England, Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia will be looking at maximum temperatures of -1C or zero."
A weather front moving across the UK tomorrow night is set to bring the biggest snowfall of the winter.
Ms Plumb said: "At the moment we are looking at 5cm to 10cm (2in-4in) falling quite widely across the country on Friday, with more than that locally, especially across higher ground."
The bad weather yesterday caused havoc on transport networks. A six-vehicle pile-up on the A11 left three people injured, and the AA reported about 1,000 breakdowns an hour.
Darron Burness of the AA said motorists should take measures to prepare for the cold weather and coming snow.
"The main problem is flat or failed batteries, as the car's electrical system has to work much harder in the cold," he said.
"When you get in your car, switch off all the electrics before starting it - for example, blowers, lights and heated windscreen - and dip the clutch while starting to take some of the load off the starter motor and, in turn, the battery."
The Highways Agency also warned motorists to take extra care on slippery and icy roads.
Ms Plumb said the coldest area of the UK overnight was Braemar in Scotland, which reached minus 12.9C (8.8F) - equalling the chilliest day of the winter so far.
That was also recorded at Braemar, on December 16.

COLORADO STATE PLAYERS (Jesse Carr, Pierce Hornung) & HEAD COACH Tim Miles
THE MODERATOR: We'll begin first with an opening statement from Colorado State Head Coach Tim Miles. Then we will ask questions just directed towards the student athletes and then back to Coach Miles following that. Coach, if you don't mind.
COACH MILES: I congratulate Murray State on the victory. I thought their team defense the second half was outstanding. Their physicality, I think, got us off the attack. Obviously, we turned the ball over 14 times in 35 possessions. Just didn't give ourselves a chance.
Not only that, I think we shot poorly, but I think we shot poorly because of Murray's intensity. We just never matched that. We could feel it from the first couple of minutes.
So congratulations to Murray State.
THE MODERATOR: We'd like to open it up to the floor for questions about today's game for the student athletes.
Q. Pierce, what was the difference they were doing defensively in the second half? Was it a big change, or just they got better at doing it?
PIERCE HORNUNG: You know, they just got into our action. I never felt like we could get it into an operating area. It just got us off the attack, and we played tentative the whole second half.
Q. Jesse, just what were they doing defensively to create some of the turnovers?
JESSE CARR: Like Coach and Pierce said, they were just very physical in the second half. We didn't respond to that very well. I personally didn't respond to it as good as I should have. I think we allowed them to get into us, and we picked up our ball a lot, as you saw. That's when they were able to force turnovers is when we picked up our dribble.
Q. Jesse, how frustrating was it after that first half to have had that first ten minutes of the second half? To just be going through that on the court when you guys had to feel great when you went in for halftime?
JESSE CARR: It's very frustrating. I think we came out and just didn't execute as planned. They got into us. They were picking up the ball on offense. Defensively, I think our intensity, we didn't match it. We didn't come out defensively like they did.
You've got to credit them. I think they have 30 wins on the regular season for a reason, and they were able to show that today.
Q. Guys, would you just kind of wrap up the season for us, talk about, despite the loss, what this whole ride has meant to you guys?
PIERCE HORNUNG: It's been a lot of fun. It certainly didn't end how we'd all like it to, but I'd say as a team we just played our hearts out all year long, and I just want to commend the seniors, Kaipo and Will, they did just a great job for us all year. They were just the heart and soul of our team.
It didn't turn out like we wanted, but we still I feel like we accomplished a lot. We definitely have goals next year that exceed where this year ended.
Q. Jesse, you talked about the offense was not flowing as well in the second half. Did you change, or was it just their defense that made you change everything, or maybe it got into your head a little bit and it got harder and harder to do the things you needed to do?
JESSE CARR: I think we just let their physicality bother us. That's all we did. There were times when we definitely let them get into us. We kind of stopped cutting every once in a while, and that just allows them to pressure us even more and more and pick us up even further out there.
I think a lot of times, we just we kind of sped up, and just like I said, we picked the ball up too much, kind of sped up, and just got going too fast a lot of times.
Q. For both you guys, it did look a couple times like some of you guys were getting a little fatigued. How much was their speed and what they do a problem for you guys or a challenge for you guys?
JESSE CARR: They're a very athletic team, their guards are really fast. There definitely are times where you're going to be tired out there, but that's just part of the game.
I don't think I've ever met any player who goes out there and plays a whole game and doesn't get tired. I think our guys did a good job of getting themselves ready for the game, and I think we were in pretty good shape.
Yeah, they did wear us out a lot, and you just, once again, have to commend them for the way they played and just were able to attack the way they were and not turning the ball over like we did.
Q. Pierce, just if somebody had told you going into the game you were going to have 12 points, 17 rebounds, would you have thought there was a way you guys could lose that game?
PIERCE HORNUNG: I mean, there's I don't know how to really answer that.
COACH MILES: I don't think Pierce has ever considered an individual stat in his life. So I think you befuddled him, and rightfully so.
JESSE CARR: He probably didn't know he had 17 rebounds, honestly.
COACH MILES: He probably didn't even read it.
THE MODERATOR: Any more questions for our student athletes? Thank you, guys. Now we'd like to open the floor to questions for Head Coach Tim Miles.
Q. Coach, for those of us who don't get a chance to see you guys, we saw you Tweeted right before the start of the second half. Is that something you normally do? Just tell us a little bit about that.
COACH MILES: I'm not going to answer that unless you're following me.
Q. I did.
COACH MILES: We Tweet at halftime. We've always done that. Danny Mattie, our SID, I just walk by him, say something. He edits it and posts it on my account.
Q. Coach, explain a little bit more about their pressure and what they were doing to kind of get you guys off rhythm.
COACH MILES: It was funny. I think Kelly maybe asked what our offensive flow was like in the second half. More like a drip.
I just thought they brought physicality. They brought an energy level. Every time we we never got the corner. Every time we got shoulder to shoulder, we'd kind of stop. They did a really good job moving. That just didn't go well for us.
They're quicker than us at some of those spots. I just look at the numbers. We have 17 points, 14 turnovers in 35 possessions, 7 of 25 from the field. We get to the foul line three times. You know we're in trouble when we're all going to the foul line three times. That's not part of officiating or anything. That's just us.
We need to do well in the paint. If you don't do well in the paint, you're in trouble.
Q. How disappointing is it for you to have the season that you guys have to come out there in the second half and perform the way you did?
COACH MILES: You look in our locker room, and those kids were really disappointed, very frustrated, and their coach feels the same way. Nobody wants to go out and perform poorly. Everybody is disappointed when you do.
The special teams find a way to kind of pop through that. I just thought Murray this is our first time through this at CSU. Murray's been through it. They lost a tough one in '10, I think. I just think that you need to go through this. You need to feel the shame and to bounce back and do it again.
I've been a small college coach where we set records, 54 17 at halftime. We set every conceivable record for apathetic play that you could possibly do. And those are frustrating moments. And the next year when we got back to the tournament, we were way better. I would expect the same with this group. They'll live to see a brighter day.
Q. Talk a little bit about what you did to try and contain Isaiah Canaan.
COACH MILES: I just think those two guards on him have good feet and are able to get through screens and stay in front of his hesitation. And when you get on a new floor with different balls and all that stuff, it's just harder to have your same mojo too, as you can see. More shots hit the backboard and came flying off. One of them, I think we shot, went over across half court.
It's just a different game. So I think his natural stuff, as he plays on this floor next, I think he'll be better on Saturday and better on Saturday.
I think Wes, Jesse a little bit, Dorian did a nice job on him.
Q. Coach, if you could just kind of put a wrap on the season. Run through the year real quick, if you could.
COACH MILES: Oh, yeah, the season. Hell, it was great. You can't get more out of a group of guys. If you're me and any of you folks are sitting right here in this chair and you're look at what we've gone through and look at those guys out there, they won 20 games, got to the NCAA, finished top four in the fifth best conference in the country. For the first time ever in school history, they beat three ranked teams. First undefeated conference season at home in 51 years.
As a coach, I just can't be prouder of a group of guys. Look at our two seniors. Kaipo, Sabas and Will Bell came as unrecruited walk ons. They earned scholarships. Their pride in their accomplishment even going that far and then get us into the NCAA Tournament, I couldn't be prouder.
So am I frustrated and ticked off? Hell, who wouldn't be? You stand out there for an hour. That's no fun. But these guys, this group, I'd take anywhere, any time against anybody. We'd do it all again.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.

Murray State – 58
Colorado State – 41
An interview with:
THE MODERATOR: I'd like to welcome Head Coach Steve Prohm, Isaiah Canaan, and Ivan Aska from the Murray State Racers. Just like last time, we'll begin with an opening comment from Coach, and then we'll have questions directed at the student athletes, and then we'll follow that with questions for the head coach.
Coach, if you don't mind, opening comments, please.
COACH PROHM: First, want to congratulate Colorado State and Coach Miles on a terrific season and on a terrific game. He's done a great job in the last five years at Colorado State building the program and building the team the right way. Congratulations to him and his program on a terrific season.
Then to follow up on that, just proud of our guys. It wasn't a pretty first half both ways. Both teams struggled to score. I knew it was going to be the first thing the first 15, 20 minutes in the game was going to be kind of a feeling out process. We don't see them a lot during the year, just them being on the mountain time zone, coming from the Mountain West Conference. But I had a lot of respect for their team with wins over San Diego State, UNLV, Colorado, New Mexico, that I knew they were a very, quality, quality opponent.
We just couldn't score. The first half I struggled to score. What I talked about at halftime, we were not playing the way defensively we had played all season long. We had one steal and only nine deflections. That's just not Murray State basketball. That's not what our program has been built on and how we've been successful all season long.
I thought the difference in the game was we really tried to speed them up in the second half. I thought we did a great job of that. Really proud of the effort of our guys. They've been resilient all season long. Very fortunate to be moving on to the third round.
THE MODERATOR: Coach, thank you. Let's open it up to questions for the student athletes.
Q. Isaiah, you guys completely took them apart defensively in the second half. How did you do it?
ISAIAH CANAAN: That's what our team is based around. We try to turn our defense into offense. Shots weren't falling. We weren't getting the looks that we usually get. So we had to rely on what we're built around.
We started doing that in the second half. We started getting turnovers, started getting deflections, turning it into steals, and that was the outcome of the game. We turned our defense into offense, and that's what we usually do.
Q. Ivan, what about the lift that Donte gave you guys early when you guys couldn't buy a basket?
IVAN ASKA: Donte did a tremendous job just by doubling in the post. He was open every time. Every time he was open, I was looking for him. Donte, he did a good job just playing offense, playing defense. That's what Donte do. He scores a lot. He gets steals. But he did a good job.
Q. Isaiah, at the start of the second half, you miss a three, and then Jewuan makes that play. Was there a momentum switch right there, it seemed like, where you guys really took?
ISAIAH CANAAN: We just wanted to come out and be more aggressive on both ends. Like I said, we wanted to turn our defense into offense. That's what we did in the second half. We locked in, got more focused on the defensive side to the offensive side, and that was the outcome.
We started turning them over. We started getting easy transition points, and that's what we like doing. And that's what we did.
Q. Isaiah, I've seen you play a lot of games, and I've seen you pull that 25 foot transition three a lot of times. I don't think I've ever seen you miss anything. Was it just getting used to the idea of being in a tournament that led to something like that?
ISAIAH CANAAN: It's a different feeling. You're in a different gym. Like you say, I used to make shots like that. I went for it. I didn't hit anything on the shot.
It was kind of an adrenaline rush. I thought I could make it. I usually make them. It didn't turn out that way. If I get open like that, I usually take them. Hopefully, I can make it next time.
Q. Isaiah, was it more what they were doing defensively in the first half, or was it just a new court? What did you credit to the slow start?
ISAIAH CANAAN: They did a tremendous job defensively. They were trying to deny me, face guard me, trying to take me away when I came up on ball screens. They had the big hedge real hard and tried to keep me from turning the corner. You've got to give them credit also.
It's a different feeling in the gym. So we've all got to adjust to shooting it in the gym. Hopefully, it will be better the third round. We're going to hope for the best, and we're going to keep staying and being aggressive.
Q. Ivan, can you talk about what you and Ed discussed at halftime to come out and rebound and to really face off with Pierce Hornung?
IVAN ASKA: Second half, I was missing some shots, and then the team was telling me they were going to need me. I had picked it up. I had to get adjusted.
Me and Ed did a good job trying to rebound, trying to keep them off the boards and stuff like that. They did a good job rebounding and also going hard to the glass and also making shots.
But we had to adjust on my knee drive and so I did the best I can. Also wanted the seniors and the leaders to go out there and just try to execute everything that they want me to do.
Q. Ivan, what were you thinking at halftime? Were you disappointed? Were you worried? And besides that, this is a game, it seemed like, not just the guys who were the high scorers made big contributions but everybody did. How common is that for you guys?
IVAN ASKA: It's very common to us. Everybody make mistakes, but me, I didn't have a good first half. And I told myself I've just got to get in the flow. Just let the game come to me.
But everybody have picked it up, and our defense because usually we don't play defense like that. We turned it the second half, and like Coach Prohm was saying, we only had one steal and like nine deflections. That's not us. Usually we have about eight steals first half, stuff like that.
We just had to adjust and just play our game.
Q. Isaiah or Ivan, either one, you guys were 13 of 26 from the foul line. Was that just tournament nerves?
ISAIAH CANAAN: I really don't know. We've got to do a better job of making our free throws. That's easy points. We usually make them. You could say it's a different feeling, but we ain't going to make no excuses. Just got to make it whenever we get an opportunity to take them.
Q. Isaiah, from the last time you walked off an NCAA Tournament court, just what's this feeling like?
ISAIAH CANAAN: It always feels good to get a great win against a good opponent in an NCAA Tournament. We got the same mind frame going into the next round, try to take one game at a time.
We came out victorious tonight, and we're going to go and get ready for the next opponent. Coming in the game with the same mind frame, defending, doing everything Coach has asked us and just get ready and be ready for the next round.
Q. Ivan, what was it like having Coach Kennedy here?
IVAN ASKA: I was looking up in the crowd, and I seen him. I was very happy to see him come down, support us. But hopefully, I'll go catch him and talk to him. But I was happy seeing him.
ISAIAH CANAAN: It always feels good to see your former coach come down and support you. We've been supporting him whenever he played all season long, and for him to come down and watch us compete in the NCAA Tournament is a great feeling. I'm sure he's proud of us and been watching us from a distance. We hope we can go out and play as hard as we can for him.
I'm sure he's looking down on Coach Prohm, who's been up under him for many years, and I'm sure he's proud of him also. We're just going to go out and just try to play and finish the legacy that he started at Murray State and carry it on.
THE MODERATOR: We're going to excuse our student athletes here. We'll open it up to the floor for questions for Head Coach Steve Prohm.
Q. Looking at the stats and the box score, you didn't really have a good game. Shot 50 percent from the free throw line, 30 something from the field. You got out rebounded. Should teams be scared of you now if you're actually playing a better game?
COACH PROHM: I don't know if they should be scared of us. We just try to play extremely hard. We try to defend, rebound. We try to play unselfish. We just try to play the game the right way.
Share the basketball, defend and rebound, try to score off our defense, try to get easy baskets in transition, and then if we get into the half court, just try to make plays off ball screens and then share the basketball and make the extra pass.
It wasn't a pretty game in the first half. We talked to the team about it in the second half, and we talked about it at halftime, that we had one steal, only had nine deflections. That wasn't our style of basketball. Isaiah got the dunk to start the half, took the lead by one, got up by three, got up by six, and that just kind of the second half just kind of snowballed, and our lead just grew.
Q. Donte's injury, how do you think that affected the outcome there? How is he? Did he have stitches or things like that afterward?
COACH PROHM: They were working on his nose in the back. It's got swelling and everything now. He had gauze on it to finish the second half.
They're headed to get it x rayed right now. It looks like it's probably broken because there's so much swelling. I'm sure it's probably broken. Eric, our trainer, and Dr. Blalock, our team doctor, they'll let me know in a couple of hours.
I don't think it dictated the game. He was able to come back. And Zay Jackson is such a spark plug off the bench for us. Defensively at first and then offensively just in transition, making plays off the dribble.
But Donte, the first thing the guys said, is, man, he's a senior. We need to pick it up. Was happy to get him back on the floor, and I'm sure he'll be ready to go for Saturday.
Q. You guys struggled, it seems like, making the plays in the paint. You guys allowed 12 offensive rebounds, couldn't get a lot going in the paint. Do you feel like you guys played physical enough tonight?
COACH PROHM: Oh, yeah, I thought our toughness level the second half was tremendous, to hold them to 17 points, hold them to 41 points, 33 percent defensive field goal percentage, 21 percent from three. Ivan was diving on loose balls. I loved our toughness and energy.
Q. Coach, you mentioned Zay Jackson, but can you elaborate on your bench players to come in there and play absolutely fearless basketball.
COACH PROHM: I was proud. Zay was terrific. He's been great for us. He's just grown and matured so much throughout the season from November, even back to August, because we played in August this year. But from November to now, he's matured so much. He's probably grown the most as a person and a player among the 14 players that we've had.
He was terrific off the bench for us again tonight. Latreze was great. Latreze got off to a slow start. He missed some free throws. I thought he was terrific. Stacy Wilson. I probably could have played him more minutes. I was really pleased with Stacy's effort. He made shots tonight, and I was really excited for him as well.
Q. Coach, did the 11 day layoff play any factor in the start earlier, or was it getting the feel of an NCAA game?
COACH PROHM: A little bit getting the feel of an NCAA game, and part of it is how Colorado State plays. They've got a unique style defensively. They don't get out and pressure you. They really pack it in. They play 19, 20 feet in defensively. Really just contain you. They're more of a containment type defensive team.
We're more get out and attack you. So with teams like that, we really have to get a feel. We were able to do that in the second half, score off our defense. We were able to speed the game up. If we scored 35 points in both halves, that's 70 points. If we're averaging right around 70, that's good for us.
Q. Coach, were you pleased with the fan turnout today?
COACH PROHM: It was great. I'm glad you brought that up. I was going to Tweet it later. I want to appreciate Coach Calipari and his efforts to get Big Blue Nation supporting us today too. They were great.
It was great to see the pride of the State of Kentucky and how much they appreciate good basketball. For them to turn out the crowd today was great. I didn't see many empty seats. This is an unbelievable facility. Like I said earlier, we've been up here to practice before on our trip to Morehead State and to SIU Edwardsville. It's a tremendous facility. I didn't see many empty seats.
There was a ton of gold and blue, and then there was some royal blue, whatever they call the Kentucky blue. What's the correct terminology, I'm not sure.
But the Kentucky fans were terrific, and I really appreciate Coach Cal doing that, and I appreciate Kentucky's fans. But the Murray fans are the best.
Q. Just having Coach Kennedy watching, your thoughts?
COACH PROHM: I was a little nervous. Man, if he comes and we lose, it's going to be really disappointing. It's great to have him here. It meant a lot for him and his family to be here. But there is a little bit of nerves when he was here. It is a little different. You're like, man, you don't want to lose when he's here.
It was good. I appreciate it. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be in the position I am right now. I've learned a lot about coaching from him. I've learned mostly about how to be a man and how to teach young people.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, Coach.

ONPHA's Kathleen
Blinkhorn Aboriginal Student Scholarship supports Aboriginal students living in
non-profit housing in Ontario. Each scholarship winner receives $1,000 for use
towards their post-secondary education costs, like tuition, books, technology
and transportation. In 2017, with the generous support of Union Gas, ONPHA is
excited to be able to double our support
from 5 to 10 Aboriginal students.
ONPHA will be accepting applications for the 2017 scholarship until June 23, 2017.
*Non-profit housing is rental housing that is owned and operated by a non-profit organization, including community groups, faith groups, and local governments (cities, towns, or counties). Non-profit housing is sometimes referred to as social housing, public housing, or subsidized housing. If students are unsure of whether they live in non-profit housing, they can ask their landlord or property manager.

Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
ONPHA needs your help to reach and support as many eligible students as possible. You can help us give back to Ontario's Aboriginal community by:
In December 2009, the social housing sector lost a dedicated colleague and tireless advocate in Kathleen Blinkhorn. To celebrate her memory, ONPHA, with the support of Kathleen's family, developed the Kathleen Blinkhorn Aboriginal Student Scholarship to commemorate her work developing Aboriginal housing programs and working with Aboriginal communities.

"The combination of tape and flash, for large objects/files, is going to offer not only lower costs, but also much higher performance than spinning disk-based alternatives. This changes the dynamics of storage for long-term data retention and so-called big data lakes. The key to this approach will be surfacing metadata, currently buried on tape cartridges, to a flash layer that can signal the location of desired data on the tape. Combined with linear tape file system technology, we believe this approach will deliver better business value for the right use cases.
This contrarian view is a function of: 1) Lack of investment in high speed disk technology, specifically head tech; 2) The far better bandwidth improvements capable with tape relative to spinning disk and 3) The economics of flash relative to disk.

After all, tape storage is the last line of defense to prevent data loss, so tape administrators are extra cautious in making sure their data is secure. Not surprisingly, we are often asked for ways to validate tape media and the files on them.
In the past, an administrator could validate the media, but doing so was often tedious or disruptive or both. The debut of the Data Integrity Validation (DIV) and Library Media Validation (LMV) features in the Oracle T10000C drive helped eliminate many of these pains.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Daisy&Lucky's Mom
|OH I remeber those days w/ Daisy as a puppy and it lasted till she was three almost four. Hers was not seperation anxiety just anxiety in general . Used alot of chews to do trades and finally it stopped . Sometimes she'd warn me by picking up something and sitting w/ it in her mouth to let me know a chew was called for. Exercise and chews are why we eventually has a remote w/out a tooth mark!
|Fezzik von barry
I'm keeping this in mind as out 9wk old seems to like remotes as well.
What you should eat and what you should not eat...
This probably doesn't rank up there with winning agility meets or reaching training goals, but for us Jazzy has finally learned (I hope ) that not everything she can reach is food. She suffers from severe separation anxiety, even when I'm in the house; on many, many occasions I've put so called "edibles" supposedly out of reach only to find disjointed pieces spread all over the living room minutes later.
In addition to chewing up one or both shoes--13+ pairs worth--she also developed a taste for TV remotes. After taking apart the original and one replacement, she ate the replacement, then the replacement's replacement. Fortunately the batteries seemed to not taste so great, I suppose much like the pit of a cherry.
Before you say something like "well, she could smell you on the remote/shoes/brush/telephone/book" the last two remotes were less than two days old when they went to that great TV Remote Table in the sky. She simply likes the taste of electronics.
I got smart and ordered two replacements from Amazon this last time (cheaper than the box stores). Today I forgot to hide the remote when I went to the bathroom and, praise be, she didn't eat it while I was gone!
Years ago as a relatively successful technical writer, the survival of a TV remote wasn't such a great and wondrous accomplishment. Now gosh darn it, I feel like I did when my son took his first steps!
Well, just wanted to share the good news...but I gotta go. It's too quiet in the living room and I think I hear plastic crunching...

|Discuss Ram Naam Satya Hai at the General Chit Chat within the Traderji.com; death is ultimate truth which no one could deny yet other things may be true ...
|General Chit Chat Discuss anything and everyting not related to trading or investing here.
|Thread Tools
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
death is ultimate truth which no one could deny yet
other things may be true or false according to once perception ( like the smile on Rathore's face. Rathore likes it and we simply detest that )
Lord Ram is an example of somebody who lived and fought for true and honest people.
The dead guy can not walk to the crematorium by himself nor is he affected by how we take him , this message that God who represented truth, honesty and doing good for others is ultimate truth as the death of the guy is for the people who take the dead guy to the last abode. Perhaps this can instill a feeling of compassion and living in harmony with this world and its people
that's my perception
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
Ram would kill someone by deceit and you call that 'living and fighting for truth'?
Ram would force his wife to go for 'agnipriksha' and you call that 'living and fighting for truth'?
Why didn't he himself go for 'agnipariksha'? After all he was also without his wife for so many days. Shouldn't he 'prove' to his wife that he didn't sleep with other women during this period??
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
Do remember that though both Shri Ram and Ma Sita were GOD and GODDESS but they came on the planet to live as ordinary Human Beings ,
to go through the same sorrows , same pains as an ordinary human being would go ,
that is the reason why Shri Ram never said that I am the God or use any special powers.
Right from the birth , He went through all the stages of life ,
he went to school , learned all the skills , fight all the demons , married Sita .
he followed all the dharmas of a prince like a human being ,
Shri Ram left his kingdom to set an example of being a perfect son ,
Shri Ram promised Sita that he would never marry any other woman to set an example as a perfect husband .
Shri Ram ate Shabri's fruits to teach us that all Human beings are same .
now at the end after the victory over Ravana , Shri Ram knew that his subjects would be skepticals about the chastity of Sita.
so again To set the example (Dharma ) of a perfect King , He asked his wife to go through AgniPariksha. so that his subjects would be assured of the integrity of their country's Queen.
Inspite of all this when Shri Ram found out that his subjects are still talking ill about Sita ,
He asked her to go to jungle as Sita was Pregnant at that time , Where ma Sita gave birth to Luv Kush.
Do remember that Ram Loved Sita immensely that is why He promised that He would never marry again ,
that is why He went across ocean to fight Ravana to protect her.
In order to make sure that in future no other woman has to go through the same kind of Agnipariksha,
Shri Ram did declare " No Woman in future should be asked to go through this type of AgniPariskha"
The reason that Shri Ram is called MARYADA PUROSHTAMA , because he followed all his duties when it was asked for ,
Shri Ram left his Kingdom to perform his duty ( Dharma ) as a SON ,
Shri Ram Fought Ravana to Perform his duty (Dharma) as a Husband as it is the duty of Husband to protect his wife . (feminists will argue with this).
Shri Ram asked Sita to Go through AGNIPARIKSHA and eventually asked her to go to jungle to perform his duty as a King.
The purpose of the story of Ramayana is to inspire average Human beings to live life , to perform all our duties with integrity and honesty while embracing all types of sufferings ,
teach us and inspire us to be a good son , good husband , good wife and good king ( king?? , means to perform our dharma of whatever post is assigned to us )
to teach us that pains and sorrows of life are part and parcel of life, as even God when came on the earth could not avoid the pains and sorrows of life.

Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
For all your Ignorant questions I suggest you to please read Shri Ram Charitmanas and after that ask forgiveness from Lord Shiva and Bajrang Bali
To others I say God bless you but for you I request god pls have mercy on your child as he is too ignorant
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
For us
Ram is name of kindness , turth and integrity.
if a person wants to think other way , then we can not do much , except pray to RAM that to help him the to think straight.
Jai Shree Ram, Jai shree Krishna.
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
God will surely bless you
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
Ram Charita Manas is not the original epic. Its just a novel somewhere similar to those written everyday by likes of Surendra Mohan Pathak and others.
Just the language happens to be Sanskrit.
The original one is Ramayana written by Balmiki. Go read that. That is probably closest to truth.
But no one can help much to someone who likes to close his eyes, senses and brain, who doesn't want to think from his own brain but believes only what his forefathers and baba's have told.
We have been given Human Body so that we can think. If we simply believe in whatever our forefathers and baba's say to us then we have no right to call ourselves Human.
Please don't take these personally.

Does Ramayana really happened or those are just a story from a novelist??
What proof do we have to substantiate, apart from the usual stuffs??
But u can ask me , what proof do u want?....iam not sure....something logical except those same literature....i mean does any research carried out in this line??
Iam serious.....someone plz help open my ignorant eyes and mind....
Re: Ram Naam Satya Hai
I daily meet many people and try to help and solve problems of people dont want to name but few here at TJ too got there problem solved by merely reading Ramayan
Ramayan & Shri Ram charitmanas are same but difference is of language bcoz Gosain Tulsidasji were known pandit and Balmiki ji all know
as on proof as u guys respect american then our epics google NASA finding on Ram Setu
Jiske naam se patthar tair gaye ham kyon nahi tairenge mere bhai
people suffering from major desease read Ramayan why not they read surender mohan novel

next year i have to pick the subjects i want to do for leaving cert. i am thinking english,maths,irish,physics,french,economics. I have no idea what to pick for my 7th subject. what are the hardest and easiest leaving cert subjects??
Best advice is to look at the exam papers and see which subject you think you would do best at. If you choose the subjects you "think" you'll like then you'll be making a really bad mistake.
Biology is not advised if you have dyslexia due to the large words but its manageable.
Physics isn't advised if you are doing pass maths as there's a huge amount of calculations and formula.
I do Biology, Physics, French and Business as my choices and I have to say I enjoy biology the most. I'm a visual learner and there's diagrams and easy ways to remember things. If you have a good teacher it's brilliant, if you have an average one it might be some bit tedious. I hope this helped. Best of luck :)
John smith234
pick business because all my friends that do it say it is so easy and they often get crazy high grades.
Lois Angels
I'm doing Physics, Biology, Chemistry and Spanish at the moment and I really love biology. It depends on you and what you think you would enjoy. Got to admit that physics is pretty tough and involves a lot of hard work, like every subject. Like ciara said having a good teacher makes it way better and motivates you. My friends who do business say that it's pretty tough. Hope I was of help :)
I'm doing all those same subjects you do plus Geography. Geography is probably my favourite though so I'd suggest that

The Public Library has seen tremendous change in just a few years.
One of the major changes was the transformation of the second floor into a completely awesome teen and tween community.
On any given day, you'll find teens and tweens playing with robots, video games and Pokemon, and even learning the basics of coding.
The hiring of several teen librarians—such as Justin Hoenke, Megan Emery and Delia Phipps—has fostered an atmosphere of creativity, learning and absurd fun.
Earlier this week, Hoenke announced that he had accepted a promotion as coordinator of teen services at the library.
We spoke to him about the new position, living in Chattanooga and his plans for the future of teen services at the library and beyond.
Coordinator of teen services, eh? Using video game jargon, explain what this means in terms of "leveling up."
If my old title as teen librarian was level one, this would be level two, and I'd have increased abilities! Think of level one as me just being able to use basic magical abilities in a video game, like the ability to jump super-high. Now that I'm at level two, I can do awesome things with my magical abilities in this video game, like use magic to heal myself and maybe even use magic to cast fire and ice spells. You know, librarians are actually magicians.
What changes with the new position in terms of daily responsibility for you?
Now I'm more focused on teen services throughout the entire Chattanooga Public Library system at all of our locations (downtown, Northgate, Eastgate, South Chattanooga). In my old role, I was just working on all things on The 2nd Floor of the downtown library. This new position allows me to stretch out and help the other branches in our library system achieve greater things for teens in the community. Is it more work? Of course! But it's awesome work, and I'm so happy to be the person selected to do it.
You mention in your job announcement that you've started enjoying the "big picture" part of public libraries. Help us understand your vision.
To most people, libraries are a place that you visit to get stuff .... That stuff can be books, DVDs, audiobooks and other physical items. But I've always seen the library as the center of the community, a place where you go to experience something special. Now that I'm working with all the branch libraries, I'm helping each location be more of a community center for teens in Chattanooga. I want the library to be a destination for teens. I want them to answer the question "Where should I go today?" with "The library, of course."
Outside of the library, what have been some of the highlights of your time thus far in Chattanooga?
When I moved to Chattanooga, I had this idea that most folks in the South always sat on their porches and relaxed and enjoyed life. I do that a lot! I just sit there in a rocking chair, listen to music, chat with friends and enjoy life. I also like cutting the grass. I have a yard now! Also, the City Café has some killer milkshakes that I really enjoy.
Look ahead. What are some of the things you're excited about as you step into this new position?
Personally, I'm excited about growing as a person and as a librarian. With a new position comes more work and greater responsibilities. Some folks see that as something that's difficult, but I just see that as growing up and becoming a better human being ... I'm just excited about bringing more neat things to the teen community here in Chattanooga. I moved here one and a half years ago for this specific reason: to help bring excitement and happiness into the community.
"Move ahead, do what is best and have fun." That your motto?
Totally. Especially the fun part. You always have to have fun. If you're not having fun, you need to fix that.

C Serum Face Serum is a light-weight serum designed specifically to deposit vitamins and antioxidants into your skin to help prevent the signs of aging before they begin. Use after cleansing. As with all serums, allow 2-3 minutes for full absorption before applying moisturizer.
C Serum
NT WT 1oz
This serum is formulated to prevent signs of aging before they appear. Packed with Vitamin C and Carrot Oil for their regenerative properties.
HOW TO USE After cleansing and toning, massage a small amount of serum onto entire face. Allow 5-10 minutes before applying moisturizer or make-up.
Aloe Vera, Jojoba Ester, Rose Hip Oil, Orange Blossom Flower Water, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Carrot Oil, Extracts of: Lemon Peel, Orange Peel, Black Tea, Cranberry, Pineapple, Apricot, and Rose Hip.
• Anyone 20+
• Anyone who wants to fight the signs of aging
The best defense against the signs of aging is early prevention. Environmental factors such as UV rays, pollutants, and free radicals damage collagen and cause the oils in your skin to become rancid. This leads to lines, wrinkles and sagging skin. Because a serum penetrates deeply, it benefits your skin on a cellular level, before environmental factors even have a chance to affect your cells. This ensures that any actives are absorbed more deeply and used more efficiently.
A serum is different from a moisturizer because its lighter formula allows the active ingredients to be more deeply absorbed by your skin. While cleansing breaks up any accumulated build-up, opens pores, and stimulates circulation, toner can deposit actives into those newly-opened pores and remove any leftover gunk. This makes way for a serum to penetrate even more deeply into clean, clear, highly functional pores and deposit actives right where they need to be. C Serum is packed with Vitamin C and Carrot Oil, which are known for their regenerative properties, as well as Rose Hip Oil and cranberry, known antioxidants. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which offers antioxidant protection, as well as increases cell turnover, elasticity, and hydration. Alpha hydroxy acids and antioxidants help stop the signs of aging while protecting your skin against future damage. C Serum helps to regenerate your skin and prevent the signs of aging before they appear.
• Vitamin C
• Carrot Oil
• Rose Hip Oil
• Pineapple extract
• Cranberry extract
• Diminished signs of aging
• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
• Anti-aging protection

Most of us dive into collaborative efforts without much reflection. You probably quickly think, yes, this is something I believe in and yes our organization has the resources to enable my participation. And then, many of us just dive into the work.
Collective impact is collaboration 2.0. Successful collective impact efforts focus on a complex community issue and strive to make an impact on that community issue. Collective impact efforts involve diverse partners with equally diverse opinions about the issue and getting to a common agenda takes time and resources. Typically, these efforts take a minimum of 3 - 5 years to begin to show population level outcomes. This work is not for the faint hearted.
In other posts on this website and www.tamarackcci.ca, Jay Connor has written about the challenges and opportunities embedded in organizations wanting to engage in collecive impact efforts. This simple grid provides some 'gut-check' reflections for organizations and individuals wanting to actively participate in collective impact efforts. As a practitioner of collective impact, I think we have to reflect before we leap. We have to be honest about our passion, ability to commit, and consider both the risks and rewards embedded in collective impact and community change efforts. .
This powerpoint slide will provide you with an opportunity to reflect before you leap.
Have anything else to add? I would love to hear from you!
Liz - I agree completely with each of the points on your slide, and would add 'perceptions' as another consideration to be checked. Depending on the organization that you represent, it is possible that some folks might mis-interpret your involvement. Be clear about your interests in the collective impact initiative and, while it may not resonate with everyone at the table, being up front about your roles, responsibilities and intentions in the initiative will help to manage expectations.
The second aspect to managing perceptions is to be authentic. Being true to your intentions will help to build and maintain trust among the group.


text: LONDON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The need for quality care, especially for a rapidly ageing population, is a strong driving factor for the tissue sealants and haemostats market in Western Europe. Technologically advanced products that enhance surgical efficiency and patient safety will also boost market prospects. New analysis from Frost & Sullivan ( http://www.healthcare.frost.com), Western European Tissue Sealants and Topical Hemostats Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $438.1 million in 2011 and estimates this to reach $685.5 million in 2016. The research covers tissue sealants (fibrin and synthetic) and topical haemostats (gelatine-based, collagen-based, thrombin-based, oxidized-regenerated cellulose-based and combination). "The demand for tissue sealants and topical haemostats products is directly proportional to the total number of surgical procedures performed," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Brahadeesh Chandrasekaran. "As Europe's population ages, the volume and range of surgical procedures conducted is set to increase. This will promote demand for tissue sealants and topical haemostats, because both peri-operative and post-operative bleeding requires immediate attention during complex surgeries." Product innovation – such as sealants with drug-delivery applications or novel applicator systems that improve ease-of-use for surgeons – will further encourage the uptake of tissue sealants and topical haemostats. Another positive trend is the development of recombinant- and plant-based and combinatory products. Such products are set to address patient safety concerns that are currently impeding market growth. At present, most sealants and haemostats are used with high benefits and no complications. In some cases, however, there have been concerns related to biocompatibility and infection-associated risks. This is because some products contain animal-derived components, while others derived from human plasma are subject to the risk of transmission of viral diseases inherent in plasma-derived products. "This has triggered significant growth in plant-based and combinatory products, because they have proven to be safe for patients," remarks Chandrasekaran. "Manufacturers that already have green or plant-based products have an edge, provided their products are backed by strong clinical evidence."

1993 was a great year for music. Nirvana, Naughty by Nature, Stone Temple Pilots, Janet Jackson...
Just saying.
What do you remember?
Here are some top hits to get you started.
Feel free to post some videos! ;)
Come on Feel the Lemonheads!
Some very '90s imagery in this video!
Kennedy (remember her?) interviews J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr -- their new stuff rocks!) on Alternative Nation on MTV, 1993...
Easily my favorite song from 1993.
RE: the Janet Jackson video....was that J-LO???? 1:58.

Yes! J-lo before she was well and truly J-lo!
Found us a list:
Guess I might as well let my Geek Flag Fly:
Man, this one is tough. There was a lot of good music, but I would have to say Toad The Wet Sprocket - Walk On The Ocean. I moved in 1993 and hated leaving my friends and the city. I must have listened to this song a hundred times a month that year!
Oh baggy days...
'twas a good year
@Dougall -- the Elastica clip reminds me that the first Suede album came out in the US in '93, one of my favs from that year:
I don't remember all the interconnectedness of Justine of Elastica and the boys from Suede, and then she was involved with Blur as well...
From memory, she dated Brett and formed Suede,
later she dated Damon from Blur
at least that's what I recall from Melody Maker and NME at the time... it's been a while
Time for some local flavor! One of the many things I was into in '93 was the underground dance/rave/techno/? scene... These are some friends of mine from back in the day, who always put on great shows/events.
And a special note: the black guy in this clip, Lance Robertson, is now better known as DJ Lance Rock from Yo Gabba Gabba...
I was so hoping this video that came to mind was from 1993... nope. 1991. Close enough for me though.
What 90's trends do you see?

I wanted to make something extra special to be for the mommy-to-be at this weekend's baby shower, since there are few things that light up her eyes more than a yummy dessert… a girl after my own heart who loves to end each meal on a sweet note!
Here's what I came up with, but not without the help of my friend Betsy, who I like to refer to as my personal Pillsbury Help Center. With her natural knack for confection perfection, not to mention her incredible job within the Pillsbury baking division at General Mills, she prevents my baking disasters with her great tips, without batting an eyelash. (I've been begging her for years to start a baking blog… fingers crossed!)
Fudgey Frosted Brownies with Sprinkles
I started with this delish fudge brownie recipe from Butter Me Up, Brooklyn, which is extra dense and perfect for frosting and dipping. Instead of baking in the brownie pan, however, I used mini muffin pans and reduced the bake time to 15 minutes, checking frequently to make sure they weren't getting too crisp.
Here's the fun part:
- Use white chocolate Candy Melts (Wilton brand, available at Michael's), and follow package directions to melt down in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, fill with sprinkles. Continue reading

Bass Guitars › Events › In-Store Artists › Videos ›
On Thursday, April 3, legendary bassist Bill Dickens arrived at Chicago Music Exchange late in the afternoon for sound check. A customer and friend of the store, Dickens knows his way around CME. Just last month, he guest starred in a YouTube video – "The Bass Off" – with our resident bass guitar guru, Marc Najjar. This time, he was here specifically for the Bill Dickens Bass Clinic.
Bill "The Buddha" Dickens has collaborated with numerous artists over the past 40+ years – from Janet Jackson and Mary J. Blige to Randy Newman, Victor Wooten, Mike Gordon and more. He is known for playing funk (especially speed funk) on extended-range bass guitars.
The Bill Dickens Bass Clinic began at 7pm with around 60 people seated in The Bassment at Chicago Music Exchange, eager to watch and learn from one of the best bass players in the industry. Dickens opened the clinic with a twenty-minute live performance that can only be described as mesmerizing – the speed and precision of his playing style; the way it appeared to be effortless.
Following the introductory jam, Bill Dickens talked about his practice routine. All the bass players in the room were gripped by this rare opportunity to hear unusual trade secrets. He explained that for years, he would put anything from toilet paper to towels to rope under the strings to raise them up as a finger-strengthening exercise. He stressed the importance of being able to read music. "You should be able to play like the music is not in front of you," Dickens encouraged. "If you can read four bars ahead, you can play creatively even while reading [music]."
Bill Dickens shared his transition from a 4-string bass to the extended-range bass guitar. He was 24-years old when a friend sent him the Anthony Jackson 6-string contrabass. He was hesitant at first, "When I went from 4-string to 6-string, I was totally confused. But once I learned it…I turned into a psychopath," Dickens grins at the crowd playfully. They laugh because they understand exactly what he means.
The clinic ended with a few more live songs, including a jazzy cover of Burt Bacharach's "What The World Needs Now Is Love".
This event was sponsored by Peterson Tuners and Pigtronix. For information about upcoming events at Chicago Music Exchange, see our Events page.

Campaign to stimulate community-based primary care models
This grant provides partial support for the Foundation's participation in the 1996-1997 Models That Work Campaign. The Models That Work Campaign is a successful public-private partnership designed to stimulate the identification and replication of innovative community-based primary health care models that meet the needs of vulnerable, uninsured, and underserved populations. The Campaign was initiated by the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) in partnership with 26 national organizations. It included a competition to identify innovative programs, a national symposium to recognize their success, and technical assistance to guide replication of their strategies in other communities. The objectives for the 1996-1997 Models That Work Campaign include the following: (1) announce the competition to 5,000 organizations, select winners, and hold a symposium with a teleconference and full media coverage, and continually share the new lessons learned; (2) inform federal and state policy decision makers on five innovative yet successful ways to use limited funding in support of optimal health through disease/injury prevention, education, employment, housing, and health/social services; (3) provide detailed examples of primary care Models That Work to 10,000 community leaders, health professionals, public and private organizations, and elected officials; and (4) participate in the replication or transfer of model programs identified during the campaign to ten underserved communities. A $10,000 grant was awarded in March 1990 to provide funding for a Second HRSA Primary Care Conference.

Why Richard Branson Threw Out the Rule Book (and you should too)
"Many millions of people proudly claim the title 'entrepreneur.' On the other hand, a title that hasn't gotten nearly the amount of attention it deserves is entrepreneur's little brother, 'intrapreneur'"
Success in business can be the result of great visions and thoughtful strategies, but Richard Branson has revealed that the success of Virgin is, at least in part, owed to a stroke of luck. Before Virgin Mobile had taken off, and while the Galactic project was only a twinkle in Branson's eye, Virgin Travel provided an experience that would come to guide the entire brand's business ethos.
By hiring an ambitious young designer, Joe Ferry, for an open-ended design project, Branson unwittingly realised the potential of 'Intrapreneurship'. The intrapreneur, or entrepreneur in residence, is given the run of a company's resources without the constraints of protocol and routine. This freedom can result in the kind of left-of-field ideas which inspire both cultural change and amazing business opportunities.
The success of this experiment was huge and as a result, Branson has incorporated Ferry's intrapreneurial role into the infrastructure of the ever expanding Virgin brand. He has, in fact, credited intrapreneurship as the essential element of his success:
"Virgin could never have grown into the group of more than 200 companies it is now, were it not for a steady stream of intrapreneurs who looked for and developed opportunities, often leading efforts that went against the grain."
Since then, Branson has been calling for a complete reassessment of how his, and other, business' are run. He suggests that if management were to actively encourage intrapreneurship across the board then employees would have the freedom necessary to truly invest in their work.
Some other well-known companies have also embraced this thinking. They adopted policies enabling employees to play and tinker for up to 20% of their time, leading to some great new and successful products.
Would you like that freedom – the ability to act as if it were your own business? That feeling of being so much engaged in your work, that time slows down and everything seems to be going exactly right? How is that compared to your current corporate life – isn't there a big gap for most of us?
As students, with no real understanding of the corporate world, most of us had big ideas, dreams and visions. We thought about how when we entered that world we would make a difference, how our generation would be leaders of change. Three years later, we are dragging ourselves out of bed and into work, and hoping to win the lottery so that we can have an early retirement. When you start intrapreneuring, you will do meaningful work, grow your impact and boost your career. It will ignite that spark again.
The intrapreneurial road isn't the most obvious one and for sure not the easiest. In fact, while entrepreneurs have the luxury of setting the course on their own, as an intrapreneur, you are part of a running business, which requires you to stay connected to and aligned with the influencers and decision makers in your organization.
As many impactful intrapreneurs have shared, the key to their success has been that they were able to combine their entrepreneurial thinking and mindset with some corporate-savviness. Above all, it's not something just available for Richard Branson and the likes – it's possible for all of us, you and me. It requires the decision to start and the commitment to succeed, which all of you at this blog have, right?
For young professionals looking to do more meaningful work, have a bigger impact and boost their careers, I suggest you follow Richard Branson's advice: start intrapreneuring! If you're not sure where to start and how to do it, have a look at our upcoming course. It might just be your ticket to corporate freedom.
Absolutely Nikki, lots of things we can learn from him.
What about you, are you entrepreneuring or intrapreneuring?
This guy is my entrepreneurial role model! He's been making money from what others would call "outlandish" ideas since age 12. That's nothing short of awesome… and the ultimate foreshadowing of current his billionaire lifestyle.
Even people who aren't entrepreneurs can learn from him how to stand out in their career field. He's not afraid to take strategic risks; that's a life-changing lesson in itself.
Great article!

San Benito County Water Conservation Ramps Up
County supervisors ask residents to conserve at least 20%
HOLLISTER, Calif. - The San Benito County Water District said it's worried about the amount of water it'll have this year, and in the future. On Tuesday in a special meeting, board members considered declaring a emergency water shortage condition for this year.
County supervisors also heard first hand what's at stake.
The agriculture industry's supply is dwindling because most of its water comes from the Central Valley Project, which is running very low.
If farmers produce less, it could have a big impact on the local economy. The water district said 40 crops are grown in the area, bringing in almost $300 million for the county.
Supervisor Jamie De La Cruz said the county plans to educate the public to conserve by 20 percent, through fliers and local public access television.
At one point, the San Benito Water District was in jeopardy of loosing a large amount of water it had saved, when the federal government said it needed the supply. But the feds ended up backing off that request.
Getting people to conserve isn't always easy. Right now people in the Hollister/San Juan Bautista area use about 161 gallons a day. The water district wants to reduce that to 129 gallons a day by 2020.

How The Grinch Stole Mp3
Just a few months ago, it looked as though portable MP3 players--Walkman-like boxes that let you play back digital music through headphones--would be the big gadget at Christmas. Well, maybe next Christmas.
This year, MP3--the name refers to a digital-recording format--looks like it will remain what it has been: a way for techno-savvy teens and college students to get music off the Net and reorganize the material from CDs as music files on their computers. Only three major companies are even marketing the MP3 players, which sell for $99 to $269. Even with the combined yearend rush of players from Samsung and other South Korean manufacturers, sales this year are likely to total 600,000 to 800,000 units, far short of the 1 million target that Forrester Research Inc. expected in March. "The hype has been pretty thick," says Larry Kenswil, president of electronic commerce and advanced technology at Universal Music Group.
BIG FIZZLE. What sidetracked MP3? A significant obstacle was that major record companies and equipment makers couldn't agree on how to thwart piracy. This problem was supposed to be solved last summer. But the music companies and the hardware makers didn't ratify standard techniques to identify legitimate music files until Nov. 12, too late to be incorporated into players this year. And the record companies are still searching for a sound business model for delivering music online and collecting money for what has up till now been available for free.
Even now, disputes are simmering about how to handle music that is scheduled to be released online next year. Those spats likely won't be settled until mid-2000, says Leonardo Chiariglione, executive director of the Secure Digital Music Initiative, an industry consortium. As a result, the five big record labels that control about 85% of the $12 billion U.S. market are holding back on distributing music digitally.
MP3 equipment makers are anxious too. For the three major companies selling the portable players--Diamond Multimedia, Creative Labs, and Thomson Consumer Electronics/RCA--the expected MP3 boom has been a big fizzle. The device looks like a miniature Walkman, but instead of playing disks or tapes, it stores music that's piped from the hard drive of a PC through a cable. Since they store those files on chips, instead of spinning disks, they can run for hours on a small battery.
RCA's Lyra, which plays music files not only in the MP3 format but also the G2 format from RealNetworks Inc., stores up to two hours of near-CD-quality music on a slim card full of so-called flash-memory chips. Flash, unlike conventional memory, keeps information even when the power is off. But the flash technology itself has been a bottleneck: Since the earthquake in Taiwan, MP3 manufacturers have had trouble getting supplies.
That's not the only woe the industry faces. Most grownups don't like to mess with the software for transferring and organizing audio files. There are also fears of obsolescence: The MP3 players on the shelves today may not play music major labels release next year. That's because next year's tracks may well be encoded with special software, known as watermarks, to hold pirates at bay.
RISING TIDE. The biggest hurdle, however, is a lack of good tunes. Many music wannabes have posted original songs on the Web. But a crackdown by the Recording Industry Association of America has made it harder to find sites offering pirated versions of top acts. Meanwhile, the major labels have just been dabbling with digital downloads. "To have a real marketplace we need portable players, and the current generation aren't secure," says Kenswil.
Still, the labels can't fight the tide forever. Before Christmas, Universal, EMI, and other major labels will probably announce technology and e-commerce partners to permit limited downloads. Analysts predict that they will forgo current MP3 formats and move to more powerful compression schemes from Microsoft Corp., AT&T, and others. These will allow third-generation devices to record twice as much music as earlier ones while selling at a fraction of current prices. The new players will also be set to detect pirated music sent in the new formats.
Perhaps the best sign of the MP3 format's long-term prospects, however, is the imminent arrival of major Japanese hardware makers. Early next year, for instance, Sony Corp. plans to sell a portable player that resembles an oversized silvery pen. It has a tiny screen and a port that connects to a PC. Cell phones, palm devices, car stereos, and set-top boxes also will begin to function as digital music players. That could make Christmas 2001 merry indeed.
