N.Raymondi needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 428 designs submitted by 61 freelance designers.
young female entrepreneur starting up a clothing line to combine my passion for racing with my love for design
I have had several successful start-ups in the past but am especially excited about this one because it reflects my personality and interests.
Veloce, italian for fast or speed, is a line that draws from both racing inspiration and feminine qualities. Edge and attitude are translated into all of our designs to create an image thats rebel but subtly female. Females, age 18 - 25 that want to stand out and are interested in racing is the target audience. (Think Danika Patrick with more of a European/rebel flair).
-logo quickly recognizable, memorable, and eye catching
-racing inspiration without the cliche checkered flags and usual auto looking logos
-logo should be simple and clean in a creative way, not a lot of overwhelming detail
-logo should be able to be used as an "emblem/symbol" on clothing and as written out text
> example: alpinestars has the "a" with the star symbol they use on all their clothing AND a defined look to the way "alpinestars" is always written out
-keywords for inspiration: racing, European (Italian), rebel, strong, sexy, fearless, female
-additional info to keep in mind: domain name: velocefashion.com
logo tagline: "fast fashion"
-Thanks and Good Luck!!

On Aug. 12, the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue issued a declaration condemning "the unspeakable criminal acts" being committed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (known as ISIS) establishing its rule in parts of those countries. These acts include "the massacre of people on the sole basis of their religious affiliation;" "beheading, crucifying and hanging bodies in public places;" "the forced expulsion of tens of thousands of people, including children, elderly, pregnant women and the sick;" "the abduction of girls and women;" and "the destruction of places of worship and of Christian and Muslim burial places." The declaration states that "no cause, and certainly no religion, can justify such barbarity." It calls for all religious leaders, especially Muslims, to condemn these crimes and "the use of religion to justify them."
Such graphic acts of violence raise many moral questions. Should Catholics support only prayer and humanitarian aid, or should there be military intervention? What course of action is best from the perspective of Catholic moral theology?
The Catholic Church recognizes that "governments cannot be denied the right of lawful self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 2308). Such armed resistance, however, requires that all of the following conditions be met: "1) there is certain, grave, and prolonged violation of fundamental rights; 2) all other means of redress have been exhausted; 3) such resistance will not provoke worse disorders; 4) there is well-founded hope of success; and 5) it is impossible reasonably to foresee any better solution" (CCC, No. 2243). In light of the ongoing atrocities of the ISIS movement, the use of armed resistance seems justified.
The Church, though, believes the prudential judgment for the use of military force belongs to "those who have responsibility for the common good" (CCC, No. 2309). In resisting ISIS, these would be the legitimate leaders of Iraq and Syria. But military intervention by the United States and other powers cannot be excluded, especially if the leaders of the threatened nations ask for such intervention.
In an Aug. 18 interview on his return flight from South Korea, Pope Francis seemed to accept the necessity of U.S. airstrikes against ISIS, as did Archbishop Giorgio Lingua, the Vatican nuncio to Iraq. The Holy Father stated: "In these cases where there is unjust aggression, I can only say that it is licit to stop the unjust aggressor. I underscore the verb 'stop'; I don't say bomb, make war — stop him. The means by which he may be stopped should be evaluated. To stop the unjust aggressor is licit, but we nevertheless need to remember how many times, using this excuse of stopping an unjust aggressor, the powerful nations have dominated other peoples, made a real war of conquest. A single nation cannot judge how to stop this, how to stop an unjust aggressor. After the Second World War, there arose the idea of the United Nations. That is where we should discuss: 'Is there an unjust aggressor? It seems there is. How do we stop him?' But only that, nothing more."
The Catholic Church recognizes that the forces of evil go beyond any individual movement, ideology or regime. Ever since the fall of the angels and our first parents, the world has contended with moral evil, which is "incommensurably more harmful than physical evil" (CCC, No. 311). God created everything good (Gn 1:31), and he is not the cause of moral evil. He permits evil, however, "because he respects the freedom of his creatures and mysteriously knows how to bring good from it" (CCC, No. 311).
The Church knows that the evils of the devil and human malice do not have the last word. In his mysterious providence, God has allowed the weeds of evil to grow along with wheat (Mt 13:24-30). Only at the end "will we fully know the ways by which — even through the drama of evil and sin — God has guided his creation to that definitive Sabbath rest" (CCC, No. 314). Pope Francis, however, in his July 20 Angelus, has reminded us that patience with evil "is not indifference to evil."
We must resist and condemn evil. This, however, must involve much more than military force. It also demands the power of prayer, fasting and intercession. In resisting evil, we must remember that we must not conquer evil by evil "but conquer evil with good" (Rom 12:21). We must also avoid condemning all Muslims because of the actions of ISIS. Beyond this, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (cf Mt 5:44).

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The mainstream media this week made much of reports that Israel had refused a request to provide the US with advanced warning of any plans to strike Iran's nuclear facilities.
But that may be just what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is doing as he prepares to depart for Washington this weekend. Some speculate that Monday's White House meeting may be the last face-to-face between Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama before an inevitable Israeli move on Iran.
In the run-up that the meeting, Obama Administration officials are talking tough on Iran, and suggesting that earlier statement to the effect that the US would not back an Israeli strike were erroneous.
"It's absolutely clear that the president's policy is to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons capability," Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs on Wednesday.
Clinton's statement was important in that she emphasized that, like Israel, the US is not willing to wait until Iran is actually building or fielding a nuclear weapon, but rather is determined to prevent Iran from even gaining the capability to do so.
Also on Wednesday, US Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz revealed to reporters that the US has prepared strike plans of its own, and will likely execute them if Israel goes to war with Iran.
Tough talk is one thing, but former Israeli military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin said that Netanyahu will be seeking firm assurances when he meets with Obama.
In a New York Times op-ed, Yadlin wrote, "What is needed is an ironclad American assurance" that if Israel does not act against Iran itself, the US will do whatever necessary to make sure Iran cannot build nuclear weapons. Absent such an assurance, Israel's leadership "may well choose to act while they still can," warned Yadlin.
Meanwhile, Iran's leaders are busy riling up their people for the coming showdown.
"The Iranian nation will slap the arrogant powers in the face harder than ever by their high turnout," declared Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei at a rally ahead of Friday's parliamentary election.
Iran's hardline government and its radical religious overlords are expected to be significantly bolstered by the election as nearly all reform-minded parties have been banned from participating.

Shaquille O'Neal Planning To Build La. Children's Hospital Where "All Sick Children Can Come For Free" (Video)
Shaquille O'Neal, a former LSU and NBA star, used his induction into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches to make a special announcement that would impact the lives of many families here in Louisiana:
I had a talk with the powers to be in Baton Rouge and my plan is to build a Shaquille O'Neal Children's Hospital.
But this wasn't a spur-of-the-moment announcement. O'Neal says he's been discussing the idea with Our Lady of the Lake Hospital in Baton Rouge for the last two years. Shaq says he wants to build a hospital in Baton Rouge where sick children can get medical care for free.
That's my plan: To be the biggest, freeest hospital in the state of Louisiana. All sick children can come for free. That's my vision.
Shaq says he wants to give back to Louisiana, because the Pelican State has given him so much. "LSU lifted me to greatness; the people of Louisiana lifted me to greatness," says O'Neal. "And after college I had so much confidence and so much ability because of the character that I created in Louisiana (that) the sky was the limit for me."
If you want to know more about Shaquille O'Neal, you can read his biography "Shaq Uncut: My Story." (I read it and loved it!)
Watch Shaq make his big announcement below. He also talks about his first experience with crawfish at a crawfish festival!

So the Leafs return from their successful (for them) four-game road trip to face Calgary. They're going to come out with a ton of energy, right? Wrong. Same old Leafs off the top against the Flames. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why Toronto's early-game trademark has become lethargy. Slow starts have become the norm.
The Leafs are one of, if not the, youngest teams in the NHL. They should be oozing energy. Sweating zest from every pore. It makes no sense, especially when you consider the first four games of this season. You remember those four. Wins over Montreal and Ottawa, then on the road in Pittsburgh and Manhattan. The team's energy as each of those four games began was head-and-shoulders above the opposition's. Why wouldn't that continue?
It hasn't. Not even close. Saturday night, against Calgary, Toronto started Darryl Boyce, who still hasn't played a dozen games in the NHL, and Marcel Mueller – playing his first NHL game. Shouldn't those two guys set the tone for how the game should start? No such luck.
The Calgary Flames suck. The world knows this. If you are going toe-to-toe with someone who doesn't fight very well, do you not try and pound on them early? Of course you do. But not if you are the Leafs.
Coming out flat is an ongoing recipe for disaster. Falls into the same category as allowing 45 shots per game, or continually trailing 4-1. You might come back and win a few of those, but it's not a good strategy for long-term success.
There are a lot of things about this Leafs hockey club that I don't get. Why did Reimer go back so soon? Why is Phil Kessel still revered as a star? But this slow-startitis I really don't understand. By the time you read this, the Leafs may have defeated the Flames. Or not. Either way, the slow starts have become a habit.
They trailed 1-0 in each of the four games in their just-ended road trip. They won three of the games. But it's like holding your car's muffler on with duct tape. It might work for now but, over time, it's a poor strategy.
After Saturday, the Leafs have three days off until a tilt in Madison Square Garden. They always seem to come out hard there. The only thing that's saving them right now is that the Leafs don't tend to give up a lot of goals early either.
If I was in Ron Wilson's shoes, I may want to figure out how to get a lead or two early in a few games. It's amazing how much easier games get after that.

Heartfelt Homemade Valentine Gift From Parent to Child: Mommy and Me Journal
This Valentine's Day, I will be giving each of my girls a small homemade gift from the heart.
I picked up a couple of spiral bound notebooks on clearance at the store and Mod-Podged the covers
with scrapbook paper hearts, doilies, and sticker letters to say, "Mommy and Me."
If you look closely, I didn't have enough "M" stickers so I used some upside down "Ws"!
I made a Pink Sparkly journal for "C" my pink lover.
I used Sparkle Mod Podge for the covers for extra bling.
"E"'s journal is blue and rainbow.
Then, I raided my ribbon stash and tied Rya-style knots to attach the ribbons
to the spiral spine of each notebook. Pinks, oranges, and purples for "C" and
Blue and Rainbow colors for "E"s notebook.
Close-up of the ribbons.
Now, each girl and I will have a special place to write notes and drawings
for each other. A top-secret Mommy and Me only notebook for secrets,
hopes, dreams, silly-ness and memory making.
We will trade the notebooks back and forth on our pillows.
A simple, heartfelt gift from me to each of my girls to let them know how special
they each are to me and that they'll always be my Valentines.
Love the Owl Pillow? We do too, you can get one from my bloggy friend Lisa
from her 5 Orange Potatoes Etsy shop HERE!
We will be writing our notes with these great "Slicci" Gel pens from our friends at Pentel.
They don't smear on the page and the colors are vivid.
They're VERY fine so you can draw tiny detailed drawings -
perfect for me and my little 9 year old, cartoonist "E".
Thank you for helping me make beautiful (colorful) memories with my daughters Pentel!
For all of you mommies of little boys out there,
go ahead and make a journal to share with your son.
It's a special way to bond and build love, respect, and communication with your child.
Happy Valentine's Day!

Some people don't get that soreness, regardless of the intensity or duration of their gym or WSing effort and time. That's what I've Googled and asked doctors and PTs about, with no answers beyond "Yeah, some lucky stiffs are like that. It may be your body's adaptation to a lifetime of all-out play" I've never tried a one-rep max lift (for obvious reasons), but I do take every strength set to total failure (otherwise why bother?), and my circuit training, a mixture of weights and interval exercises, used to run 4-6 hours nonstop 3 days a week back when I was trying to emulate a half-day of WSing in the gym. (That ended when I learned that overtraining is a medical condition that can take weeks to
to reverse.)
The three books I mentioned changed all that. Using their principles, I'm now getting the same benefits, with zero percent of the risk, in ~1% of the weights time and <5% of the "cardio" time. The downside? A 60-something life-time weightlifter tried McGuff's Superslow lifting method and pronounced it the hardest thing he had ever done (as did Arnold, in his prime, under Arthur Jones' tutelage). (I add ten seconds of maximum effort after complete positive failure with each set, then add one max-effort eccentric/negative.) No soreness. Some first-timers, including professional bodybuilders, puke from the sheer effort. Ditto proper interval training. After reading those books and many others on the same topics, trying their methods myself, seeing my old and overweight wife benefit from them after decades of the trendy stuff, and asking several professional trainers about them, I can no longer in good conscience advise anyone to pursue the trendy stuff like 3 sets of 10 lifting, long-slow-distance-style aerobics, and crunches. Instead, I mention those books to anyone who asks about getting in shape and let them choose for themselves.
Now, about that 10% body fat. I can get mine down to that in the winter, but for WSing I need more carbs to help me outlast the wind and daylight. By choice, I err on the side of fuel, not body fat avoidance. Simply put, the more I eat, the longer I can sail and the more visible my love handles.
Embo, starting a strength-building program will "find" and "set on fire" muscles you didn't now you had. That abates quickly, followed in most people by the much less intense soreness Techno talks about. But sore or not sore, greater strength helps the function and safety of all our joints, from knees to spine. A little nagging soreness after a workout or a big day on the water beats the heck out of a preventable injury, and REALLY beats having fatigue end your sailing before you run out of daylight or wind.

Is Embo still there? I was just reading in JFK's Profiles that in the early senate, some members would bring in their own booze. That prompted me to quaff a few Harpoon's before this post. It certainly did wonders for the aches and pains of life and sport!!! It's been hot and windless here. My ankles are swelling up. They aren't giving me pain, though, but I decided to forego exercise other than the work I did around the house today. I have seen a lot of funny science here on this thread. It makes for some interesting reading. Muscle pain is usually caused by a build up of waste material after a hard work-out. The circulation system just doesn't have the time to clear the tissues of the acids left over from the burn of calories. They also stiffen.

Lactic acid is an excellent fuel for energy production once we train our bodies to use it as such. Besides, it dissipates within hours even if not used as fuel. Its soreness is thus fleeting, often just minutes in a trained athlete.

I've always described it as having been hit by a padded bus. For many people it involves soreness or even pain, while for others it feels more like numbing whole-body physical fatigue. I don't know about the former, but the cure for the latter involves at least three things: fluids, carbs, and getting back on the horse. We could have prevented much of it by gobbling down plenty of fluids plus simple carbs and proteins in a 4:1-5:1 ratio (non-fat chocolate milk is as good as whey and carb supplements) within 15 minutes of the last set or reach, then keeping up the proteins on a specific schedule for a couple of days.

From studying > 100 (I just walked into the next room and roughly counted them) exercise physiology books and skimming another hundred, including many undergrad and graduate textbooks plus peer-reviewed research compendia, mostly written by many of the world's leading researchers, trainers, professors, sports physicians, and athletes in the field. From grilling certified professional sports team trainers and physicians, PhD physical therapists, and endurance athletes at length at every opportunity. I was asked by a university dean to join his Exercise Physiology PhD program. I've also observed/experienced/applied much of what I've read in my own lifetime of heavy sports activities several days most weeks for over 60 years.
Hell, from Google. Try Googling lactic acid as a fuel, for example, before putting your fingers in gear.

I have had a fair number of injuries windsurfing over my 30 some odd years in the sport but mainly broken ribs and rotator cuff that required surgery. They were all impact injuries and not use injuries so I am lucky in a number of ways that genetically I am gifted to have durable muscles and joints in good alignment and I am ambitious enough to train, X train and X sport year round with good common sense. I most certainly don't research but I have a personal friend who has been in the fitness business for 40 yrs and I from time to time get advise from. Anyway, what I currently do and is the best system I have been on is a combination of TRX training combined with Powerplate. I do this almost daily and try to get two extra hard sessions a week. I also try to trail ride my mt.bike 2x a week depending on wind forecasts. During the sailing season around here I can windsurfing 6.0 or smaller about 2-4 times a week. I don't have a off season as I add biking in the Fall as the wind dies and Backcountry ski/resort ski almost daily during ski season. So, as it shows I am busy and this is my lifestyle and addiction. I am old and eat well, no fast food or garbage. If anybody is looking for a change of pace workout, I would look into TRX. It can be done at home or on the road, gives a great workout in short time and is safe. Powerplate is great but a ultra expensive piece of gear. I got a steal on mine at a estate sale or I wouldn't have one. They would be available in some gyms. I live in the rurals and going to train at a gym is too far for me. I guess additionally, I don't take any NSAIDS or Tylenol, but try to be sensible in my physical self. But I think LGlutamine is a good supplment for recovery. Right now, I am a little sore from last nite as we had good somewhat unpredicted wind for two hours and I was on a 6.5 120 where I could have been on a 5.5 100 and I can feel my bicep tendons and midback from my waist harness. For me as soon as I get about 1/2 way tru my TRX routine it will be gone and ready for wind this afternoon.

I most certainly don't research
That's a personal choice, of course, but mine increased the efficiency of my workouts by at least 1,000% while measurably improving their efficacy, and clearly adds ability and endurance to my sports. Not only do I enjoy literature research more than working out, but it gets me better results and helps me avoid many myths, some wasteful and some risky or even distinctly harmful. But as long as we don't harm ourselves via injury or overtraining -- both common -- just about any exercise beats none.
Overall, the biggest physical challenge in this particular forum's quest is optimizing our WS conditioning ... striking a balance between developing the strength and endurance to sail all day vs fatiguing ourselves in the gym to the extent that it costs us shred time. The same goes for nutrition, to the extent that eating to maximize strength and endurance without inflating our spare tires is described by some authors as the holy grail of strength building. I gladly bias my nutrition towards WSing rather than belt size, and save serous gym workouts for my off season or maybe once or twice when we go for weeks without wind in season. Back when my various overlapping sports seasons covered 12 months I never got near a gym and had effectively unlimited endurance and minimal love handles.
achieving that takes informed planning and will power, especially in a sport so dependent on Mother Nature.

Doesn't need to be complicated. Going to a good trainer is worth more than reading books as they have first hand experience but of course like going to a good car mechanic the trainer needs to be good. Ive been training and working out since 8th grade, so over 50 years so I know myself pretty good and what is good for me. I still get advise from a trainer. Anyway, like I said above look into TRX and gyms that use Powerplates, this is the latest in new school workouts and training and very effective in training safely without injury potentials.
ISO, read up on it, might be of interest to you as well..................

SAN FRANCISCO --Dirt and soot and the passing of time have covered up a little remembered part of Bay Area history -- the plaque commemorating the 1936 opening of the original Bay Bridge.
It was placed on the center anchorage -- sitting astride the westbound fast lane on the western half of the bridge. The grandson of Bay Bridge architect John J. Donovan said his grandfather enjoyed certain perks.
"For years after the bridge was open that his family--my grandmother, himself, his children...we never paid the bridge toll. We got to just go on the bridge," said Donovan.
During the original Bay Bridge opening, it was blessed by Cardinal Eugenio Pacelli from the Vatican, who three years later would become Pope Pius XII.

I'm not much of a mountain biker. Mostly, I get my kicks—such as they are—on the road. I dabble every now and again, but nothing serious. That is until the dreaded Polar Vortex (I, II, or III– I can't remember which now) pummeled our North Carolina office with a couple of inches (gasp!) of snow, taking road cycling off the table. I was getting all ready to not ride a bike at all and go lift, when instead I was given a chance to test ride the Charge Cooker Maxi fat bike on a snowy trail ride. I scrounged around for some ill-fitting clothing, geared up and headed out. I admit I looked at the bike dubiously, but within minutes of getting on, I was sold.
About The Bike: The Charge Cooker Maxi is a fat bike with a steel frame and fork. The bike is designed to accommodate massive, 26X4" tires that mount on 26" x 80mm wide Wienmann rims. This gives you the feel of riding a full suspension bike without all the mechanical moving parts. The bike is a beast that can pretty much roll over anything, and is great for snow, sand, loose dirt, or just generally finding your inner-gnar on the trail. It's equipped with a SRAM X5 2×10 drivetrain (with an FSA Comet crank).
Unboxing and Set Up: My Charge Cooker Maxi was already set up as a demo bike, but it should be generally straight forward, since it's basically a conventional full-rigid mountain bike (with massive tires), so you don't have to worry about setting suspension sag or fork rebound. The only thing to be aware of is pumping up the tires— they're so big that even getting to the ultra-low volume of 8-10 PSI can take you several minutes.
I added a set of Forte Platform pedals, bringing the weight to about: 36.6 lbs.
The Ride: Taking the bike out on the trails in the snow was just pure fun. At first I was a little nervous riding the bike over the snow and compacted ice, but all my worry turned out to be for naught. The bike handled the snow, ice, and buried trail hazards with ease. The feel of the bike is less like riding a mountain bike and more like driving an Abrams tank, sans cannon. It didn't so much roll over the snow as churn through it, and I rarely felt like I lost traction (actually, the only time I did was when I tried to take an icy corner too tight). I truly felt like I could roll over just about anything—which proved to be the case. Because the tires are so huge, and have such a low volume, the bike can handle rough trail like a full suspension bike—making tackling rocks, logs and trail bumps feel easy and comfortable, but the full rigid frame and fork gave a feel of pedaling efficiency you sometimes don't get from a full-squish bike.
The bike isn't the lightest thing in the world, particularly if you're used to a featherweight XC rig, but to lament it's weight is to kind of miss the point. The fat bike isn't about winning races, it's about going anywhere you've ever wanted to go on a bike. Even with all that heft, it's still maneuverable and light enough that I was able to chase down some of that ever-elusive Fat Bike Air at one point. Handling was pretty easy, and didn't feel nearly as sluggish as I had expected. The bike easily got up to speed, and carried momentum nicely into turns. The mechanical disc brakes provide great all-weather stopping power that easily scrubbed speed and provided well-modulated stopping power when I needed it.
The gearing on the bike is also nice and low, so you can spin at a high cadence, but still generate plenty of torque and power to tackle almost anything in your path. One small niggle I did have was fit. Because of the geometry modifications that had to be made to the chainstays to accommodate the massive rear tire, I found the q-factor on the cranks to be a little too wide for me, however that was fixed by simply switching from clipless pedals to a pair of platforms. This actually turned out to be preferable anyway, since I was able to wear hiking boots instead which were A) warmer, and B) easier to get off the bike and go check out stuff off the trail.
The bike also incorporates rack mounts, which make it almost ideal for bikepacking or really getting out and exploring the back country. With no suspension to worry about, the Cooker Maxi would be a nice and dependable rig for some serious trail trips. I love touring and s24o (sub-24 hour overnight) bike camping, so I'm pretty excited about the possibilities of taking the fat bike out and exploring the mountains of western North Carolina this summer.
The Verdict
If you're looking for a fun, versatile, go-anywhere bike, the Charge Cooker Maxi is definitely for you. No matter what conditions or terrain, I have no doubts that this bike could handle them with ease. The Cooker Maxi takes the best aspects of a full-suspension and a hardtail and mixes them together—but with more utility. If you're not worried about racing, but just want a pure adventure machine then this is the bike for you.

Architecture For Humanity New York Studio (AFHny) took back a bit of the streets this year with the installation of their socially innovative and beautifully designed ARTFarm project. Located in the Bronx, New York, at first sight we found ourselves completely enchanted by their eclectic installation, which focuses on material reuse and found objects to create an array of gorgeous plant pots. A true exercise in community design, the ARTFarm project pooled a diversity of volunteers and transformed a lackluster space into a destination imbued with community spirit and the hope of providing residents with the tools and knowledge needed to maintain a spectacular and ever-evolving green space.
The transformation of this space is especially relevant as an increasing amount of city dwellers are finding easy access to any sort of green space scarce. The ARTFarm project was funded by Kickstarter, an organization which managed to raise $2,595 for the renewal efforts, and gained 81 backers by presenting their goals and concept with a powerful video. The project also found significant support from the Bronx Museum, the DOT Urban Art Program staff, NYC Parks & Recreation and the NYC Fire Department.

Source: Georgia Institute Of Technology <http://www.gtri.gatech.edu/rco.html> Posted 3/17/99 Information Security Under Scrutiny By Researchers While the security of the average consumer's online transactions grabs the public's attention, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are studying electronic commerce with more far-reaching consequences. "The largest chunk of electronic commerce, an estimated $800 billion a year by 2003, is conducted business to business," said Dr. Blaine Burnham, director of the Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC). "That's where the consequences of information system failure are highest and where GTISC can make the largest contributions." Burnham believes business-to-business electronic commerce deserves the attention of researchers because breaches in its information security could greatly affect everything from airline and rail travel to power generation to manufacturing. And the same technologies that affect security of business-to-business online transactions also apply to the consumer world. "As businesses become more reliant on electronic commerce, they are becoming very susceptible to failure in their information systems," he warned. "These disruptions could have a fairly significant effect." For example, manufacturers adopting lean manufacturing practices are moving away from warehousing large stocks of parts. They order parts electronically for "just in time" delivery to assembly lines. Disruption of the information system would halt assembly lines and cost factories millions of dollars. "Historically, information security meant to protect and confine information," Burnham said. "Now, the emphasis is on making sure the information is correct, or authentic, and timely." GTISC researchers are addressing technical issues related to this shift in emphasis, developing programs to detect external attacks and manage the tradeoff between system performance and security. Policy studies address sources of information security breaches and the importance of information security to economic growth. "We want to make information systems more reliable," Burnham said. "They must be more robust and able to deal with malicious, as well as accidental, disruptions." Detecting Attacks with Neural Networks While internal attacks on information security are actually more widespread, the threat of external attacks by hackers is very real and quite complex. "The individual creativity of attackers, the wide range of computer hardware and operating systems, and the ever- changing nature of the overall threat to targeted systems have contributed to the difficulty in identifying network system intrusions," said Jim Cannady, a research scientist at the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI). Cannady is using the power and flexibility of artificial neural networks -- which are capable of learning from their experiences -- to detect both known and new types of external attacks. Neural networks consist of collections of processing elements that are highly interconnected, each transforming a set of inputs to a set of desired outputs. In a neural network demonstration project called SENTINEL, Cannady is developing an intrusion detection system that identifies not only previous types of attacks, but new ones -- something current rule-based systems cannot do. The system gains experience with each effort so that it "learns" the characteristics of attacks. That should allow the system to eventually predict attacks and monitor activities, collecting information for responses to attacks and the prosecution of those behind them. Information Security Trade-offs Tradeoffs must be made between information security needs and application performance. Security computations consume processing resources, affecting the performance of shared, collaborative, real-time and electronic commerce programs. As a result, host computers often cannot handle Internet applications that require high levels of security. Dr. Karsten Schwan, a professor in the College of Computing, and Ph.D. student Phyllis Schneck have addressed the problem with adaptive security protocols that adjust to changes in security requirements and computing resources. "Our mission is to address performance versus security tradeoffs by adapting to the constantly changing availability of computation and communication resources," Schneck said. She and Schwan conducted the research with Dr. Santosh Chokhani, president and CEO of CygnaCom Solutions, an information security company in McLean, Va. "We want to provide an on-line management of these resources over time," Schwan explained. "The goal is to reduce overall risk by borrowing available security processing resources on one communication stream to "lend" to other application streams that may currently be lacking." Schwan and colleagues have developed a suite of dynamic authentication heuristics (exploratory problem-solving techniques) to help achieve high levels of security with scarce computation resources. The suite optimizes use of host computer resources, while providing appropriate levels of security and providing feedback to users when changes are made. A Georgia Tech Research Corporation patent is pending on the suite. The technology will be licensed to a company that Schneck is starting. Economic Impact & Policy Studies Issues such as defining the standard for information security represent the theoretical side of the problem, said Dr. Philip Enslow, a professor in the College of Computing. "Security systems operate in an environment created by government regulation, criminal law and the mores of society," he said. "These are political issues that are important to business, society and government." Educating stakeholders about security issues is Enslow's focus. He wants to emphasize the importance of information security to economic growth. "There's been a lot of focus on the Y2K problem, but after it is dealt with, I think more businesses will start to realize that their economic survival depends on the security of their information," he added. -o- Subscribe: mail majordomoat_private with "subscribe isn".

A reader alerted me to the fact there were some nifty tweezers in a shop called Octopus in the UK. They sell quite quirky goodies in there, and I found the tweezers for £7.50.
I picked these ones:
They come with a sucker:
These may be cheap but they are very good! I got these because I lost my tweezers and had a damn splinter in my hand which had been there for days. I said to the boyf – I have a splinter and its itching. He says to me, "Just pull it out with your teeth". Ah – that age old technique of removing splinters with teeth. If only I had the skills.
The tip is slanted and quite narrow. It got the baby hairs and it pulled out my damn splinter without breaking too much skin. I also like the fact you can use the sucker! Could this be the last pair of tweezers I lose?!

Has the digital age made it impossible to enjoy the moment and amplified our need for external validation and approval? One artist seems to think so.
Chris Ware illustrated The New Yorker's Jan. 6, 2014, cover, and it says a lot about our society's neurosis. "The cover, entitled, 'All Together Now,' illustrates an audience of parents filming their children at a school play using various digital devices," according to an article from The Huffington Post.
Ware was inspired to create the cover after attending a production of "The Jungle Book." One line in the piece particularly resonated with him: "Well, one's own children are more important than the children of others. ... Everyone knows that. The world runs on that." Ware posits it's that philosophy that drives parents to go crazy with the devices. It's less about documenting memories and more about being seen — as if to say "look at me."
According to Ware, "the more we give over of ourselves to these devices, the less of our own minds it appears we exercise, and worse, perhaps even concomitantly, the more we coddle and covet the devices themselves." In other words, we're addicted to our devices and the instant gratification that comes from posting media to social networks.
We seem to live in the future, yearning for outside affirmation, and lose the ability to live in the moment.
While the former problem of distraction has existed since the portable video camera became available to the masses, our need for validation has proportionately increased as smartphones have become more prevalent.
Maybe it's time we stop looking at the world through screens and instead live it in real time.

Cowboys @ Jets
If you break this game down into a position by position battle it appears that the Cowboys are over-matched. But I think that simply matching player for player to analyze a game simplifies things too much. There are some intangible factors that are difficult to account for in any NFL game.
I'll start with the traditional look at things. The Cowboys offensive line has to be one of the biggest concerns heading into the game. Clearly they will be under fire as Rex Ryan will undoubtedly throw everything but the kitchen sink at them to try to cause confusion. But what it being discounted here is what a good game plan can do to an overly aggressive defense. Running the ball effectively will keep the defense honest. And the screen game that Jason Garrett plans to use regularly this year helps keep a team honest on defense because they can't simply let loose and go straight after the quarterback on passing downs. If Tyron Smith is able to play I feel like the offensive line can do a good enough job to give the Cowboys a chance to win.
On defense for the Cowboys there are major concerns. The run defense has been terrible all preseason long. I'm hoping the return of Marcus Spears will help solidify the run defense, but I'm not sure he'll be enough to be the difference maker. The other concern has to be the starting cornerbacks. Mike Jenkins appears ready to go after hyper-extending his knee on Wednesday. But Terence Newman is out. Fortunately for the Cowboys the Jets are a run first team. But you can expect them to take more shots down the field knowing that the Cowboys secondary is vulnerable to the big play. While Mark Sanchez gets a lot of press because he starts for a New York team he really isn't a player to fear. I think the key to the entire game is the ability of the Cowboys to effectively stop the running attack of the Jets.
On special teams David Buehler should eliminate any possible kick returns for the Jets. And the Cowboys have possible the best punter in the NFL in Matt McBriar. The concern on special teams is whether Dan Bailey will be able to handle the pressure of kicking at the NFL level. He did a good job in the preseason but kicking on the road with the crowd in a frenzy will be a new world for him. At least the Cowboys can fall back on the wildly inconsistent Buehler if Bailey completely loses his nerve. Don't discount the game changing ability of Dez Bryant on punt returns. I don't think the Cowboys will hesitate to use him on a punt return or two if he can be a difference maker.
What excites me about the Cowboys chances more than anything is the atmosphere that Jason Garrett has created with the team. Don't forget how the Cowboys were able to win seemingly unwinnable games last season with Jon Kitna and even Stephen McGee playing quarterback. And even when they did lose with Garrett running the show the games were very close. Coaching can make a big difference in the NFL. Hey, Bill Parcells went 10-6 with Quincy Carter and a terrible roster and qualified for the playoffs in 2003. Coaching can make all the difference in the world.
And for that reason I am picking the Cowboys to pull of a shocker on Sunday. I think Jason Garrett will try to control the clock with a heavy dose of running and a short passing attack. By controlling the ball Garrett can help hide the defensive flaws that still exist while the players continue to learn Rob Ryan's scheme. As long as the Cowboys avoid more than one or two turnovers they should be able to keep the game close. And I think the Cowboys will pull it out 20-17 in a very close, back-and-forth game. Call me a homer or overly optimistic if you want, but there is something special about Jason Garrett as a head coach that I think a lot of people are about the learn.

Ok, it's only one game. I'm not panicking. The season is early and they played against a team that many think is a Super Bowl contender. And they played in front of a very hostile crowd. Everyone today is jumping all over Romo - comparing him to Lebron. Romo didn't lose this game by himself. He had help from the Special Teams. I'm a huge Romo fan and am still on his bandwagon but the one thing that really irked me was when he was seen laughing after the botched snap as the clock was running down. The Jets had scored 17 unanswered to take the lead and he's back there smiling. Get mad. There was still time left. The game wasn't over. As a long-time Cowboys fan who was sitting in shock watching this game slip away, that annoyed me beyond belief.ReplyDelete

Ffjabre needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
Please read the Requirements so you have an understanding of what I'm looking for.
I'm the founder of Sharepad. It's an app that will allow you to stay organized as well as share contacts, emails, notes, and reminders.
We're targeting younger audiences (18-36) that are not corporate. We do *not* want to target corporate execs. We want our web app to have a more cute, young, and approachable feel to it - much like twitter.
I'd like something inspired by the main page design which can be found here:
From the logo I'd like the users to get a sense of the main page design. Sort of like an impressionist painting gives you a sense of what's being painted.
It should be imaginative, playful, and fun. That's exactly what we're going for - Think Willy Wonka, Apple, Twitter, Nintendo..

Here is my outfit for the day, I chose a pleated skirt - I finally found a wonderful pleated skirt at H&M a few days ago! - and a lace top for more of a ladylike look.
Below is the outfit I styled for the event along with five other lovely stylish ladies, I felt so honored, thanks to Diana Enciu for inviting me!
And the best part is, I get to keep the whole outfit!
With Ioana and Oana from DivaHair
On to the vintage fair that was hapening inside the restaurant, I bought some colorful bracelets, I will show them to you very soon..
Ioana and Teodora from White Lace, They were both amongst us for the styling.
Also, there was a fashionshow with old pieces of clothing turned into new, modern ones, a collection made by six young girls; here are a few of my favorites - I must say I really adore those pants! I need a pair myself!
Afterwards, we chat and eat delicious macarons and cupcakes, I also met the girls from Bucharest Style and Laura, I am still waiting for some more pictures and hopefully I will post them here. All in all it was a great day, it was a great experience for me and hope I will get to see or do more of these super activities!
Hope you enjoyed the photos!
