Let COVID-19 Teach us about Cyber Security
Apr 7 2020
46 mins
Jason Yuan, VP Product & Marketing, Sangfor Technologies
Despite our advances in medical science, humans are still vulnerable to newly developed virus such as COVID-19.
One thing we know today about coronavirus: it can be extremely contagious even if patients have shown no sign of symptoms. This is remarkably similar for IT security. For example, most ransomware remains dormant for weeks or months until activated.
While the infected hosts are not causing any damages, they are busy infecting other systems. IT organizations only have knowledge of ransomware that are reported by PC or server users. This discussion borrows the lessons learned from center for disease control, such as detection, quarantine, and tracking down "patient zero", and demonstrate the importance of AI & machine learning in security with the best practices for cybersecurity professionals, helping organizations to understand their current threat landscape, perform impact analysis, improve their security posture.

What I Learned at RSAC 2020
Mar 12 2020
61 mins
Ulf Mattsson, Head of Innovation, TokenEx
An important part of RSAC 2020 focused on Business-Critical Application Security and we're seeing a transformational shift in technology. The enterprise architecture we used to know is changing. Cloud application development is accelerating and diversifying where many organizations have virtual machines, containers, and now serverless applications running in the cloud, transforming code into infrastructure. Microservices make a lot of sense for scale and development agility, but if everything is talking to everything else via APIs, it's likely that there are many (and I mean many) application vulnerabilities. Additionally, API security is new, so processes are likely immature, and API security sits somewhere between application developers, DevOps, and cybersecurity, leading to organizational and skills challenges. We will organize this chaos from RSAC and discuss Security in The API Ecosystem.
Security is morphing to a hybrid model for distributed policy enforcement across cloud-based environments. At the same time, organizations want central policy management for the whole environment.
Join this webinar to learn more about what attendees found interesting at RSAC USA 2020:
- Emerging Privacy Issues
- The Human Factor
- Advancements in Machine Learning
- Security in App Development
- Trends from the Innovation Sandbox
- New Standards and Regulations

[Earn CPE] Matching Threat Intelligence & Third-Party Risk for Cyber Security
Mar 12 2020
74 mins
Panelists: John Chisum, RiskRecon; Jaymin Desai, OneTrust; Allan Liska, Recorded Future; and David Klein, ProcessUnity
As organizations evolve and become more connected, their reliance on third-party ecosystems continues to grow. While these business relationships undoubtedly add value, they also introduce significant new risk and compliance challenges. The third-party risk management process is complex and involves more stakeholders and data sources than many people may think including: cyber risk information, supply chain, financial, IT, compliance, legal, and privacy risk data. But even with loads of available data, it's extremely difficult for risk teams to know how to prioritize risk and focus remediation and response efforts without the proper context or processes.
As a result risk management teams are turning to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions to help centralize all of this information in order to gain a more holistic view of their third-party ecosystem. Cyber third-party risk data is a critical piece of the puzzle to a holistic third-party risk program within a GRC solution. Having access to a threat-centric view of cyber risk provides risk management teams with real-time insights that enable them to make faster, more confident decisions and effectively manage third-party risk.
On this CPE accredited webinar our panel of experts will address how to bring threat intelligence into the third-party risk management process and discuss:
- The importance of holistic risk management and sustainable ongoing monitoring,
- How to incorporate external content sources and create a centralized data repository for a more holistic view of your vendors,
- Ways to advance your third-party risk maturity with threat intelligence.

Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz. Born August 13, 1926, on his family's sugar plantation near Biran, Oriente province. His father was an immigrant from Galicia, Spain. Castro was educated in Jesuit schools in Oriente and later in Havana. One of his teachers at Belen high school in Havana, Father Armando Llorente, S.J., describes Fidel as "motivated, proud, and different from the others." "Fidel had a desire to distinguish himself primarily in sports," said Llorente, "he liked to win regardless of efforts; he was little interested in parties or socializing and seemed alienated from Cuban society." At Belen he became influenced by fascist ideas. Castro admitted being impacted by the Falange, the Spanish variety of fascism and by its leader Primo de Rivera. Castro also participated in Hispanidad, a movement that criticized Anglo Saxon material values and admired the moral values of Spanish and Spanish American culture. In 1945 Castro entered Law School at the University of Havana, where student activism, violence, and gang fights were common occurrences. Protected by its autonomy, the University was a sanctuary for political agitators. Castro soon joined the activists and associated with one of the gangs, the Union Insurreccional Revolucionaria. Although police implicated him in the murder of a rival student leader and in other violent actions, nothing was proved. Castro acquired a reputation for personal ambition, forcefulness, and fine oratory. Yet he never became a prominent student leader. On several occasions he was defeated in student elections, an experience that could possibly have originated his dislike for voting evidenced after he came to power. In 1947 Castro left the University temporarily to enroll in an attempt to overthrow Dominican Dictator Rafael L. Trujillo. He trained in military tactics and the use of weapons in a small island of Cuba's shores. The expedition never materialized. In 1948 he participated in one of the most controversial episodes of his life, the "Bogotazo" --a series of riots in Bogotá following the assassination of Liberal Party leader Jorge E. Gaitan. At the time, Argentine Dictator Juan D. Peron, who favored the establishment of an antiimperialist Latin American Student Union under his control, encouraged four Cuban students, including Castro, to attend a student meeting in Bogotá. The gathering was timed to coincide with the Ninth Inter-American Conference that Peron opposed, and which the Communists were also bent on disrupting. When the Colombian leader Jorge E. Gaitan was assassinated, riots and chaos followed. Castro was caught up in the violence that rocked Colombian society. Picking up a rifle from a police station, he joined the mobs and roamed the streets distributing anti-U.S. propaganda and inciting the
populace to revolt. One of Castro's student companions denies that Castro was a Communist. "It was," claimed Enrique Ovares, "a hysteric, ambitious, and uncontrollable Fidel who acted in these events." Pursued by Colombian police, he and the other students went to the Cuban Embassy and were later flown back to Havana where Castro resumed his studies. At the University, Castro was exposed to different ideologies. On the campus, more than anywhere else, the nation's problems were constantly debated. Theories of all sorts flourished vigorously. The authoritarian ideas of fascism and communism were widely discussed. But above all, the nationalistic program of Cuba's Partido Ortodoxo economic independence, political liberty, social justice, and an end to corruption captured the imagination of the students. The party's charismatic leader, Eduardo Chibas, became their idol. Castro developed into a devoted follower of Chibas, absorbing the latter's somewhat vague but puritanical ideology. He also married Mirta Diaz-Balart, a young philosophy student with whom he had one son. The marriage later broke up. In 1950 Castro graduated and began practicing law in Havana. Law soon gave way to politics and revolution. Castro became a Congressional candidate on the Orthodox party slate for the June 1952 election. The election, however, was never held. On March 10, 1952, Fulgencio Batista and a group of army conspirators overthrew President Carlos Prio's regime. For Castro violence seemed the only way to oppose the military coup. He organized a group of followers and, on July 26, 1953, attacked the Moncada military barracks in Orient province. Castro was captured, tried, and sentenced to 15 years in prison. Castro defended himself in the trial in a speech attacking Batista's regime and outlining his political and economic ideas, most of them within the mainstream of Cuba's political tradition. After being released by an amnesty in 1955, the untiring and determined Castro traveled to Mexico and began organizing an expedition against Batista. On December 2, 1956, Fidel, his brother Raul, and 80 men landed in Oriente province. After encounters with the army in which all but 12 of the expeditionaries were killed or captured, Castro fled to the Sierra Maestra mountains forming there a nucleus for a guerrilla operation. At the same time, urban opposition to the Batista regime increased. While Castro was in the mountains, an attack on the Presidential Palace on March 13, 1957, led by students and followers of deposed President Prio, nearly succeeded in killing Batista. On April 9, 1958, Castro called an unsuccessful national strike. The government met terrorism with counter-terrorism. Political opponents were tortured and assassinated. By 1958 a movement of national revulsion against Batista had developed. Castro emerged as the undisputed leader of the anti-Batista opposition and his guerrillas increased their control over rural areas. Finally defections in the army precipitated the crumbling of the regime on December 31, 1958. On January 1, 1959 Castro and his July 26th Movement assumed power. Castro proclaimed a provisional government and began public trials and executions of "criminals" of the Batista regime. On February 15, Castro appointed his brother commander of the armed forces.
A powerful speaker and a charismatic leader, Castro exerted an almost mystical hold over the Cuban masses. As Marti had done three quarters of a century earlier and Chibas only a decade before, Castro lectured the Cubans on morality and public virtue. He emphasized his commitment to democracy and social reform, promising to hold free elections. Denying that he was a Communist, he described his revolution as being humanistic and promised a nationalistic government, which would respect private property and Cuba's international obligations. Attempting to consolidate his support inside Cuba, Castro introduced several reforms. First, he confiscated wealth "illegally" acquired by Batista's followers. Then, he substantially reduced rents paid by tenants of houses and apartments. Finally, he passed an agrarian reform law that confiscated landed property. Although the avowed purpose of this law was to develop a class of independent farmers, in reality the regime transformed the areas seized into cooperatives managed by a National Institute of Agrarian Reform As time went by, cooperatives gave way to state farms, with farmers becoming government employees. Toward the end of 1959 a radicalization of the revolution took place. This was accompanied by the defection or purge of revolutionary leaders and their replacement by more radical and oftentimes Communist militants. Castro accused the United States of harboring aggressive designs against the revolution. In February 1960, Anastas Mikoyan, Deputy Premier of the Soviet Union, visited Havana and signed a Cuban-Soviet trade agreement, and soon after Cuba established diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union and most Communist countries. Castro's verbal attacks against the United States increased. Several months later, when the three largest American oil refineries in Cuba refused to refine Soviet petroleum, Castro confiscated them. The United States retaliated by cutting Cuba's sugar quota. Castro in turn confiscated, without payment, American properties as well as many Cuban businesses. In September 1960 Castro attended the United Nations General Assembly in New York, exchanging embraces with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. In January 1961 President Eisenhower broke relations with Cuba. By that time anti-Castro exiles, supported by the United States, were training for an invasion of the island. The failure of the Bay of Pigs invasion in April 1961 consolidated Castro's power and eventually led to the introduction of Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba and to the October 1962 missile crisis. After the invasion, Castro declared his regime to be socialist, economic centralization and repression increased. Private schools fell under government control. This was accompanied by a nation-wide literacy campaign and by an increase of educational facilities. Sanitation and health improved with the establishment of rural hospitals under state control. Religious institutions were suppressed and clergymen expelled from the island. Thousands of Cubans fled the island. In December 1961, Castro openly espoused Communism. "I am a Marxist- Leninist," he said, "and shall be one until the end of my life." Castro also organized a single party to rule Cuba. By the middle of 1961, he merged all groups that had fought against Batista into the Integrated Revolutionary Organizations, a preparatory step toward the creation later of the United Party of the Socialist Revolution, transformed in 1965 into the Communist Party of Cuba --the island's present and only ruling party. In foreign affairs Castro moved closer to the Soviet Union. The October 1962 missile crisis, however, strained Cuban-Soviet relations. By negotiating directly with the U.S.,
the Soviets humiliated Castro. Despite Castro's two visits to the Soviet Union, in April 1963 and January 1964 and increased Soviet aid, uneasy relations prevailed between Havana and Moscow. At the same time, pro-Soviet Cuban communists were eliminated from positions of power. Until the end of 1963 Castro attempted to maintain a position of neutrality in the Sino-Soviet dispute. But following the 1964 Havana Conference of proSoviet Latin American Communist parties, the Soviet Union pressured Castro into supporting its policies. Cuba's relations with China deteriorated, and early in 1966 Castro denounced the Chinese regime. By supporting the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 Castro demonstrated his dependence on the Soviet Union as well as his determination to move closer to the Soviet camp. Another source of conflict in CubanSoviet relations was Castro's determination to export his revolution. After the 1964 Havana Conference of Latin American Communist parties, the Soviet Union was temporarily able to slow down Castro's support for armed struggle in Latin America. But by 1966 Castro founded in Havana the Asia-Africa-Latin America People's Solidarity Organization (AALAPSO) to promote revolution in three continents. In July 1967 he formed the Latin American Solidarity Organization (OLAS), specifically designed to impel violence in Latin America. Castro's efforts in the 1960s were unsuccessful, as evidenced by the failure of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's guerrilla campaign in Bolivia and his death in 1967. Yet in the 1970s he could claim that the Nicaraguan revolution vindicated his commitment to violence as the Sandinistas overthrew the Somoza dictatorship. Also Cuba, with Soviet support, dispatched thousands of Cuban troops to Angola to establish a pro-Soviet Marxist regime. Castro was elected Chairman of the non-aligned movement and visited various African countries. Castro also supported the Allende regime in Chile sending numerous Cuban security personnel to boost the Marxist regime and provided money, weapons and personnel to the guerrillas in El Salvador, Colombia and Guatemala in attempts to establish communist regimes in those countries. Castro also supported terrorist organizations in the Middle East establishing close cooperation with the PLO, Hammas and others. He aligned himself with the most radical, anti-American regimes such as Syria, India, Libya and North Korea. After the collapse of the Soviet Union and Communism in Eastern Europe, Castro toned down his support for guerillas and violence. Yet he continued to support the FARC in Colombia and other groups in the Middle East. The Hugo Chavez electoral victory in Venezuela provided Castro with a friend and close ally. Cuban security personnel where dispatched to Venezuela to train and support Chavez' security apparatus. For more than four decades now Castro has led the Cuban Revolution. Supervising projects, making decisions, traveling constantly, Castro has conducted his government in a highly personal style, exercising totalitarian control. A vague ideologist himself, he transformed the island into a Communist State aligned with the worst enemies of the United States. He defied the United States' power and brought the world to the brink of a nuclear holocaust. A determined revolutionary, he has made the shock waves of the Cuban Revolution felt not only in Latin America but also throughout the world. Despite economic difficulties after the end of the Soviet era, he has maintained tight political control by clamping down on enemies and by allowing potential foes to leave the island.
A hero to some, a traitor to others, a criminal demagogue to still others, Fidel Castro is undoubtedly one of the most controversial political leaders.

The Olympic medal count is a stupid measurement tool that is supposed to tell us how successful a particular country was during the entire span of an Olympiad. Some have suggested that we could refine this blunt instrument by weighing gold, silver, and bronze finishes in a sort of NASCAR or F1 fashion. It is still imperfect. In the same way weighing AP Calculus equally with Advanced Athletic Conditioning is probably suspect, weighing medals still rates the solo niche events as heavily as the team sports that require multiple athletes to perform at an elite level, simultaneously. Likewise, many of the team events are also much more popular than the lesser-known solo events and thus play a larger part in the broader sports consciousness. A gold in solo Nordic Combined gets the same treatment as a Hockey gold in the medal count. That's silly.
While it has plenty of flaws, there are a few merits of the gross medal count as an assessment. I often like the fact that the gross medal count lumps gold, silver and bronze together in such a way that ignores the capricious luck that often determines the difference between a first and second place finish. It awards equal meritorious achievement for simply being on the podium at the most pressure-filled, climactic event of the sporting universe.
However, the medal count, weighted or otherwise, neglects to properly reflect a country's ability to put together good teams. Team competitions may not highlight the individual athlete in the way solo swimming events show off Michael Phelps and his unparalleled ability, or the way Usain Bolt can dominate the other greatest sprinters in the world. However, they can tell us whether a country has a sports infrastructure for a particular event that can foster excellence in a wide swath of participants, rather than just creating one piercing individual performer.
Again, writers and analysts have attempted to fix this by presenting the number of weighted medals per 100 members of the delegation. A sort of group Olympics GPA, but small delegations who win medals make even stronger cases for Olympic success. For example, in 2010 Australia had 40 athletes, 2 gold, 1 silver (6.3 weighted medals/100 athletes). However, this statistic would be detrimental to a delegation who win two bronzes in Olympic Curling with 10 members when compared to another country who only sent two competitors, but one of them won silver in Downhill Ski Cross.
A list of events that have multiple participants is longer than one might think. To count the number of multiple participants in an event that would be awarded a medal, I used the number of participants in the medal round. In hockey, the maximum number of players allowed on a roster were awarded a medal, and in the case of team figure skating where each team that medaled had a different number of participants, I awarded medals to the mean number of participants, nine.
Below is table indicating the net change in medals for each country in each event with multiple participants. Each type of medal has been left discrete.

Canada, Finland, and Sweden are all examples of nations who excelled in team events. If the medal count reflected a medal for every athlete who was on the roster during the medal round or final heat of the event, each of those countries standings in the final medal count would have changed dramatically.
Teams that earned a medal in Hockey were the most obvious beneficiaries of this type of adjustment in the medal counting statistics. The roster sizes were 25 and 21 for men and women, respectively. One could certainly argue for an adjustment in the number of medals awarded to a hockey team. The most simple change would be to award medals only for the number of players participating in the event at a given time. In the case of Men's and Women's Hockey, each team would receive 6 medals instead, resulting in a net +5 for each hockey medalist.
Curling teams might be a little more difficult to quantify since, on a given throw, not all five rostered players are participating. But since the differential would be less dramatic than in hockey, I'm willing to concede that all members of the curling squads could medal. Or we could just not count curling at all.
Regardless, the bump that countries receive when we award medals to all the members of a team gives us new picture of the medal count. Nations that excel at team sports are not punished for lacking a strong performer in a marginal event. While medal count is still relatively dumb, the sporting equivalent of wiener measuring, having some variety in the way we count the medals is far more desirable than our current boneheaded methodology.

Dallas Area Rapid Transit's (DART's) Green Line arrived in Carrollton on December 6, 2010, ushering in a new era of tremendous opportunity – for developers, citizens, potential residents and businesses.
Carrollton is a community looking to its future by reflecting on, and connecting with, its rich past. The rail lines that once carried cotton and grain through town now carry people to three new DART light rail stations. The stations link Carrollton directly to Dallas, other Metroplex cities, and the DFW Airport. Each station brings with it transit-oriented development (TOD) opportunities and new points of connection for residents, visitors and businesses.
Carrollton's downtown area is the only transit intersection in the Dallas-Fort Worth region capable of three or more transit lines outside of downtown Dallas in the foreseeable future, and as a result, is ripe for development, including real estate, commercial and investment opportunities. It's also predicted that this station will be the fourth largest transportation hub after Downtown Dallas, Downtown Fort Worth and DFW Airport, making Carrollton a place that is truly poised to be "Where Connections Happen."
Carrollton's Trinity Mills Station is North Texas' largest publicly owned transit-oriented development site. The City and DART own more than 25 acres. For more on development opportunities, visit the Trinity Mills Transit Center District page or viewing our informational video here: Trinity Mills Video.
Carrollton has completed many studies and plans that have shaped our vision for the future. For more information click on the "TOD Reports" menu item to the left.

Harassment and Diversity: Respecting Differences -- Employee Version DVD
This harassment training video explains that every employee has the responsibility to maintain a harassment-free workplace!
Harassment is not just about sex and gender. It can also involve various cultural differences, race, religion, age, disabilities and other protected characteristics. Harassment can occur in any workforce, in any job situation, and any form of employee discrimination that falls within these categories is illegal.
The Employee Version of this popular workplace diversity training video focuses on employee sensitivity and awareness. It teaches why a harassment policy that emphasizes a respect for coworker differences is not only required by the law, but is also the right thing to do.
Both the manager and employee harassment training videos revolve around a dramatic story showing an all-too-common situation, where diverse cultural backgrounds test employees' interpersonal skills, and friction grows from "just kidding around" into illegal harassment. Our narrators, Littler Mendelson employment law attorneys Bruce Sarchet and Kevin O'Neill, provide their expertise and legal perspective.
Employees will learn:
- Appropriate behaviors that will help maintain a harassment-free workplace.
- When "joking around" crosses the line and becomes workplace harassment.
- It's not the intent that matters, but how the behavior is perceived by the recipient that counts.
- Why the employer's harassment prevention policy must be taken seriously.
- What to do when someone is the target of harassment.
Legal content provided by the Legal Learning Group®, a division of Littler Mendelson, PC®.
Guarantee: By viewing this harassment training video, employees will learn how harassment can creep into any workplace, and they'll understand their individual responsibilities in putting a stop to it.

Hiya! My name is Christian Reilly and I'm a musical comedian. Well actually, I'm Christian's website. Sorry to start lying to you so early on!
Anyway, I'd say what Christian does is pretty flipping funny. It's kinda like stand-up that goes musical. I like it a lot – but then I have just demonstrated that I can't be trusted.
Wait! You don't have to take my word for it! Since you're here, you can download Christian's sample album for free by clicking here!
Ooh look, here's a video of Christian live, why not have a look?
If I've already sold you on Christian (he is pretty funny, but I work for him, so you know, a bit compromised), why not just straight up buy some of his stuff, like CDs and DVDs – and yes, they're all downloadable before you start with your "ooh, I'm so young, I don't have a CD player" backchat.
Tell you what, I'd also say it's a lot of fun to be Christian's Facebook friend, I'd friend him up if I were you.
Or if Twitter's your thing, then he's all over that, too.
You might also want to like Christian's Fan Page, where he tends to keep things a bit more factual, gig dates, album releases, that sort of thing. If you just want that kind of info, the fan page is the thing. If you like things a bit more personal, or to interact, friend him up as a person.
Duh. What am I playing at? I've gone all this way and not told you that one of the best things you can do with your life is to see Christian live. Seriously. He's ever so funny. Check out all his dates by clicking here.
Anyway, look, thanks for your time. I've probably missed off something really important, so have a click around on the menu bar above. I'd forget my own HTML code if it wasn't one of my core programming languages! Cheers!

[Verse 1 - Rich Boy]
Let me take you through my hood where I was born and raised
Where niggas tote semi-automatics, busting them K's
Heavy guns and dope funds and raids by the police
Still getting pulled over and asked by the police
'Bama wasn't made for a nigga to win
See the color of your skin get you put in the pen
It's real life, over dice, Dwayne dead and gone
Sending niggas to the pen or the funeral home
I be feeling like the Lord will never answer me back
So I'm holding on my gat just in case they attack
Bullet holes in your house will make it hard to sleep
You see the fiends on the street want the hard for cheap
A lot of niggas doing life from undercovers and fake friends
It's real how them penitentiary bars'll break men
Niggas doing life from undercovers and fake friends
It's real how them penitentiary bars'll break men
[Hook - John Legend]
It's where you live, it's where you play
It's where you learn your favorite slang
Your world is ghetto
It's where I live; it's where I'm from
It's where you had to tote your gun
Your world is ghetto
[Verse 2 - Lil Wayne]
I could never win an Oscar cause I don't know how to act
Saw my first million dollars and I ain't know how to act
Then the second million came, then more came after that
Then more came after that, hurricane after that
Damn! And y'all saw the aftermath
And in my hood we don't front, so I do give back
When you see a hood nigga you gotta tilt your hat
And since I'm a hood nigga, I do just that
OGs used to tell me: "You just rap
Lil' nigga all you need to do is rap"
And just when I thought I was gon' do just that
Poppa was a Rolling Stone and them stones was crack
Fuck being like Mike I wanna be like pop
Then I picked up a mic I wanna be like 'Pac
Please put down the pipe you don't need that rock
Please put up a fight for the kids that watch
Us in the spotlight and then they mock
But caskets get closed and then they drop
And cases get closed and they are dropped
'Cause no one knows and nobody got
Any out no N-O, that they better not
Three words to a witness: they get shot
Let me tell you what this is, this is the block
Always talk to God, never listen to cops
[Verse 3 - Nas]
It's cool to love to win but it's better to hate to lose
There's only one Nas 'bout a hundred thousand yous
You lose money chasing women, never lose women chasing money
Niggas is broke plus the wolves is hungry
Morgues full of dead niggas who was taking money
Morgues full of niggas with the last shit they ate in stomach
Spinach and steak. GORE-TEX boot prints still on his face
It's still on his face when we visit his wake
Whatever's undone I'd do it, fight against a whole army
One gun I'll use it, some Sun Tzu shit
Creeping on ya like walking pneumonia
You're far from opponents; we could spar for the moments
I stay in deceitful conversations with creeps with foul natures
Attempted murders trials, the basics
Threatening the witnesses and relatives of dead victims
It's the shit we live, uh
Queensbridge thug matrimony, clap a phony
Bullets even hit a cracker in his Abercrombie
Psychoanalyst was asking me what happened to me?
See the yak got to me, then the gat got to me
Then the homies on the block with the stacks of money
Then these beautiful bitches was bending backwards for me
Then lames put the rap game in a casket slowly
Man I don't give a fuck, this is rap to me
On this remix to the 2007 original, Rich Boy, Lil Wayne, and Nas describe the struggles of living in the ghetto. While oftentimes living in the 'hood is glorified, all three rappers offer a more candid take in this song about the fear, mistrust, and deception that define their daily lives.
Lil' Wayne in particular delivers one of his most heartfelt verses, describing the temptations of drug dealing, rising to fame, and dealing with the responsibility of being a role model.
Polow da Don provides the production.

Other Proposed Natural Treatments
In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid from the stomach splashes upward, or "refluxes," and burns the esophagus (the tube connecting the mouth to the stomach). Normally, a type of sphincter muscle keeps the upper part of the stomach closed, but various factors may loosen it, allowing acid to rise more easily. The result is pain in the chest (heartburn). GERD is generally made worse by lying down because gravity no longer restrains the upward movement of stomach contents. In infants, the major issue with GERD is spitting up of food or milk rather than pain.
Certain foods may worsen GERD, including alcohol, carbonated beverages, caffeine, chocolate, citrus juices, milk, and peppermint. Cigarette smoking may also increase symptoms. Contrary to earlier beliefs, it does not appear that people with GERD need to cut down on fat intake to help control the disease. 1,2
Pregnant women frequently develop GERD due to changes in muscle tone. The connection between obesity and GERD remains unclear.
Treatment for GERD involves elevating the head of the bed and using medications that reduce the acidity of the stomach. In general, more powerful antacid medications are required for GERD than for ulcers or gastritis . Drugs in the proton pump category are most effective. Surgery may be recommended in certain cases.
If left untreated, GERD causes precancerous alterations in the lower part of the esophagus (a condition called Barrett's esophagus), which can develop into esophageal cancer. For this reason, people with GERD are often given a test to evaluate the condition of the esophagus.
Proposed Natural Treatments
Natural antacids, such as calcium carbonate (Tums) or hydrotalcite, may provide short term relief from GERD. 8
Drugs used to treat GERD may tend to deplete the body of certain nutrients—especially vitamin B 12 , but also folate and various minerals. Use of a multivitamin/multimineral supplement should correct this problem. For more information, see the articles on specific medications in the Drug Interactions section of this database.
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL), a special form of the herb licorice , has shown some promise for the treatment of ulcers. A drug (carbenoxolone) that is similar to ingredients in licorice has been studied for the treatment of GERD, with good results. 3-5
However, in these studies carbenoxolone was combined with other ingredients, including antacids and alginic acid. It is not clear that carbenoxolone alone will help GERD, and it is even less clear that licorice itself offers any benefit.
A popular over-the-counter drug for GERD, Gaviscon, contains a substance called alginic acid. Alginic acid is thought to form a kind of protective seal at the top of the stomach, reducing reflux. The seaweed bladderwrack is high in alginic acid. However, there is no evidence that whole bladderwrack can reduce heartburn symptoms.
Several other natural supplements are often recommended for the treatment of GERD, including Aloe vera , antioxidants, artemesia, fresh garlic , marshmallow , and slippery elm , but there is no scientific evidence to support their use.
Milk allergy is thought to contribute to GERD in infants. 6 Whether food allergies play a significant role in adult cases remains unclear.
The herb carob may be helpful for infant GERD. 7
Many naturopathic physicians believe that the supplement betaine hydrochloride can aid GERD by increasing stomach acid. This sounds paradoxical, since conventional treatment involves reducing stomach acid. However, according to one theory, lack of stomach acid leads to incomplete digestion of proteins; these proteins cause allergic reactions and other responses that lead to an increase in reflux. Again, scientific evidence is lacking.

The White Sox basestealing has been shut down, and not just by the opposing catchers. With his team just 30-for-59 in stolen-base attempts this season, manager Ozzie Guillen made a decision to slow down his baserunners."
I shut it down a little bit more, because we were giving away outs with no reason," Guillen said. "I want to see how the team functions without the running game. The running game wasn't working. It was killing us."
"we were giving away outs with no reason". Yes! That's what I've been saying all year. Make that all decade. Let's hope now that Ozzie sticks by it.

Cardinals lose but clinch playoff spot anyway
Giants win in L.A.
ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Cardinals clinched baseball's final postseason berth Tuesday night when the Los Angeles Dodgers lost to San Francisco.
The defending World Series champions were beaten by Cincinnati 3-1 but wrapped up the second NL wild card hours later when the Giants won 4-3 at Dodger Stadium. St. Louis will play at Atlanta on Friday in the new one-game playoff between wild-card teams.
The Dodgers' loss left them two games behind St. Louis with one game to go.

Margaret's Story
I always had big boobs. I would wear two sports bras and my breasts would still bounce when I ran.
That changed on June 2, 2009. I walked into the army's Walter Reed Medical Center with D cups that morning; by afternoon I was flat chested, wrapped in gauze and sobbing. The loss was tremendous. But mostly I felt overwhelming relief; a physical and emotional burden had been lifted.
For 17 years I'd been carrying around breast cancer baggage. My experience with the disease began in sixth grade. While other kids were snickering at the word boobs, I had to face the harsh reality that my mother had lost one of hers. I would get so embarrassed whenever I spotted her on the sidelines at my soccer games, her prosthetic breast floating all over her chest as she cheered me on. It was 1992, the year the pink ribbon became popular and breast cancer was coming to the forefront of social consciousness. But for me, the disease was the bully I could never really shake. About nine years later it came back full force, taking my mother's other breast and, eventually, the life of her sister, my Aunt Christine.
It seemed to run in the family, and, indeed, my mother tested positive for the hereditary BRCA2 gene mutation, which puts a woman's chance of getting breast cancer at as high as 80 percent, and ovarian cancer at 15 to 40 percent. Her results meant I had a fifty-fifty chance of having the mutation too. If I did, I would be faced with the decision of whether to have both of my breasts surgically removed to drastically diminish the scary odds or to take my chances and hope I didn't get the disease.
At the time we learned that my mom had the BRCA mutation, I was 25 years old and about to be deployed to Iraq. Overseas duty prevented me from getting the gene test done right away. In fact, four years passed, during which I met and married my husband, Patrick, and we had our daughter, Emily, now 4. Those years were rough, though. Not only was I constantly playing the "what ifs" in my head, but I also had a severe case of postpartum depression after Emmie was born. I'm not proud to admit that I turned to alcohol in order to cope. It was a dark and familiar place: I'd spent the early part of my twenties, during my mother's illness and my aunt's death, in a self-induced haze.
When I finally got tested and learned that I did have the same gene mutation, something in me just clicked. I knew I needed to take control of my health and my life; I had to be there for my daughter, and living with the threat of cancer was no longer an option. A month later I had the double mastectomy. It was a very difficult decision but one that I had already been grappling with for years.
When you choose to have this surgery, the first thing doctors mention is setting you up with a plastic surgeon for reconstruction. It's practically unheard of for a woman at my age to say "No, I don't want it." I had seen my mom cope really well without reconstruction, and in a lot of ways I admired her for that. Meanwhile, my Aunt Chris had had an awful time with an infection after reconstruction.
Margaret's Story, Continued
Mostly, though, I thought about how it would affect my daughter. After a mastectomy, you can't pick up anything heavier than a gallon of milk for a month. If I had chosen reconstruction as well, I wouldn't have been able to get on the floor and play with Emmie for nearly a year without worrying about her bumping my chest. I didn't want to miss that precious time with her. I might have had the reconstruction if it had been important to Patrick, but luckily it wasn't. He said, "I love you for you, not your breasts."
The fact that I'm a runner also helped seal the deal and gave me the strength to say good-bye to my breasts for good. I appreciated them for their obvious charms, but in all honesty, because I'm a petite person, I had always felt as if they belonged to somebody else. And, seriously, I hated all that bouncing.
Running helped me through my recovery. I started jogging two weeks after surgery. It was a bit weird at first because I had lost six pounds in upper-body weight and that threw my balance off, but I got my legs under me quickly and felt great. I loved going without double sports bras; it was as if I had been set free!
I ran the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon just four months after my surgery and qualified for the Boston Marathon, which I ran the following spring. Proving that my body is powerful and awesome really boosts my confidence.
Still, there are times when I'm shopping for dresses and I think, Things would be so much easier if I had gotten small implants. But those moments are rare, and I don't regret my decision. Taking action against the gene for the sake of my health has been the most empowering thing I've ever done. I'm a better mom, wife and person now. These days I've been working with FORCE [Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered; facingourrisk.org], a "previvor" group for those affected by hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, and I share my story with women who are facing double mastectomies and deciding whether or not to reconstruct. Last year, through the organization, I also had the opportunity to appear topless as a body double in the Lifetime movie Five, about breast cancer. I'm glad I did it, because I want women to see the real thing. I want them to know: Womanhood isn't defined by your breasts.
Protect Your Breasts
Three Who-Knew Facts About Your Breasts
Girls now sprout breasts nearly a year earlier -- typically by age 10 -- than they did 15 years ago.
Breasts are bigger than ever: The average American woman is a 36C compared with a 34B just a generation ago.
Breastfeeding a baby every day uses about 30 percent of a mother's total daily energy, or the equivalent of walking seven miles.
Breast Protection
Give your girls a fighting chance against cancer.
Stay at a healthy weight
A BMI of more than 25 increases your chance of getting breast cancer because fat cells make estrogen, which can cause cancer to develop and grow, says Marisa Weiss, MD, the president of Breastcancer.org and a coauthor of Living Well Beyond Breast Cancer.
Eat clean
Limit your consumption of meat and other animal protein, eat low- or nonfat dairy, and choose whole foods rather than processed ones. Be sure to load up on mineral- and vitamin-rich cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, arugula, kale, and cabbage.
Women who got at least 10 hours a week, no matter the intensity level, lowered their postmenopausal breast cancer risk by about 30 percent, a new study found. "I tell my patients, 'Exercise is no longer optional. It's mandatory,'" Dr. Weiss says. Find activities you enjoy and do them with friends so you're more likely to stick with it.
Don't overindulge
Limit yourself to three or fewer alcoholic drinks a week. "One drink means 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1 1/2 ounces of hard liquor, not a bucket-size margarita," Dr. Weiss says. Having even one cocktail a day increases your breast cancer risk by 4 percent, research has found.
It's Not All in the Family
Only 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers cases are hereditary. While having a mother, sister, or daughter with the disease doubles your chance, all women are at risk for breast cancer. These are some of the factors that up your odds.
Being postmenopausal
Getting your first period before age 12
Not having kids
Giving birth for the first time after age 30
Not breastfeeding
Having dense breast tissue, as shown by a mammogram
Radiation treatments to your chest as a child or young adult
Weight gain as an adult
Drinking alcohol (even one drink a day increases your risk slightly)
Not exercising
Race (white women are more likely to get breast cancer; African-American women are more likely to die from it)
Using birth control pills within the last 10 years

Should You Get a Genetic Test?
If you have a family history of breast cancer -- especially any relatives with the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation -- or ovarian cancer, or if you've previously been diagnosed with early-onset breast cancer or triple-negative breast cancer, you should meet with a genetic counselor to discuss testing, says Banu Arun, MD, a codirector of the clinical cancer genetics program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Use the National Society of Genetic Counselors' search tool at nsgc.org to find a specialist near you.

As the Light onto the Nations
AUTHOR: Gilad ATZMON جيلاد أتزمون گيلاد آتزمون
'Israel is the light onto the nations' says the Torah*. Indeed it is, and not just because the Torah says so. Israel is ahead of everyone else in many fronts. Take for instance, terrorizing civilian populations and practicing some of the most devastating murderous tactics upon elders, women and young.
The Jerusalem post reported yesterday that the Chairman of NATO's Military Committee, Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola, visited Israel earlier this week to study "IDF tactics and methods that the military alliance can utilise for its war in Afghanistan." A senior Israeli defence official added "The one thing on NATO's mind today is how to win in Afghanistan…Di Paola was very impressed by the IDF, which is a major source of information due to our operational experience."
I would advise both the Israeli official and Admiral Di Paola to slightly curb their enthusiasm. The IDF didn't win a single war since 1967. Yes, it murdered many civilians, it flattened many cities, it starved millions, it has been committing war crimes on a daily basis for decades and yet, it didn't win a war. Thus, the IDF cannot really teach NATO how to win in Afghanistan. If NATO generals are stupid enough to follow IDF tactics, like the Israeli generals, they will start to see the charges of war crimes pile up against them. They may even be lucky enough to share their cells with some Israelis in due course, once justice is performed.
Admiral Di Paola spent two days with the infamous IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, the man who led the IDF into Gaza last December.
In the Jewish state they were very enthusiastic with Admiral Di Paola's visit. They regarded it as just another reassurance of 'business as usual. The visit of a NATO high supreme official was there to convince them that no one takes note of the Goldstone report. "Di Paola's visit is significant" says the Jerusalem Post, "since it comes at a time when the IDF is under increasing criticism in the wake of the Goldstone Report on Operation Cast Lead as well as a decision by Turkey – a NATO member – to ban Israel from joint aerial exercises."
However, it would be crucial to elaborate on the emerging mutual interests between the two parties, Israel and NATO. "During their meeting on Wednesday, Ashkenazi and Di Paola discussed ways to upgrade Israeli-NATO military ties as well as the plan to include an Israeli Navy vessel in Active Endeavor, a NATO mission established after the 9/11 attacks under which NATO vessels patrol the Mediterranean to prevent illegal terror trafficking". This is indeed a necessary move for the Israelis. At the moment the Israeli Navy is operating in the Mediterranean as a bunch of Yiddish Pirates (Yidisshe Piraten), assaulting, hijacking and robbing vessels in international waters. Once operating under the NATO flag, the Israelis would be able to terrorise every vessel in the high seas in the name of the 'West'. For the Jewish state this would be a major step forward. Until now the Israelis have been committing atrocities in the name of the Jewish people. Once operating under the NATO flag, the Israelis will be able to perform their piracy in the name of 'Europe'. Such a move is further evidence of the spiritual and ideological transition within Zionism from 'promised land' into 'promised planet'.
While the Israelis desperately need NATO's legitimacy, NATO is far more modest. All it needs is knowledge and tactics. For some reason it insists on learning from the Israelis how to inflict pain on a civilian population. More pain, that is, than it is already making. "NATO's Defence officials said that Di Paola used his meetings with the IDF to learn about new technology that can be applied to the war in Afghanistan". The Jerusalem Post reports that Israel is a "known world leader in the development of specialized armor to protect against improvised explosive devices (IEDs), otherwise known as roadside bombs." This is indeed the case. Israeli generals realised a long time ago that their precious young soldiers prefer to hide in their tanks rather than engage with the 'enemy' i.e. the civilian population, kids, elders and women. But it doesn't stop there, Di Paola was also interested in "Israeli intelligence-gathering capabilities and methods that the IDF uses when operating in civilian population centers." Di Paola noted that "NATO and the IDF were facing similar threats – NATO in Afghanistan and Israel in its war against Hamas and Hizbullah."
I would suggest to Admiral Di Paola to immediately read the Goldstone report thoroughly, so he grasps his own personal legal consequences once he starts to implement 'Israeli tactics'. If Admiral Di Paola wants to serve his army, he should indeed visit Israel, he should also meet every war criminal both in the military and politics so he knows exactly what NOT to do.
NATO's chances of winning in Afghanistan are not limited, they are actually exhausted. It can only lose. Some military analysts and veteran generals argue that it is lost already. NATO has brought enough carnage on the Afghani people without achieving any of its military or political goals. Given that Israel was severely humiliated in Lebanon in 2006 by a tiny paramilitary Hizbullah and failed to achieve its military goals in Operation Cast Lead in its genocidal war against Hamas, there is nothing for NATO to learn from the Israelis. Should NATO proceed in implementing added IDF tactics, all it will achieve is a dramatic reduction of security across Europe and America.
If we are concerned with peace and we want it to prevail, what we have to do is to move away as far as we can from any spiritual, ideological, political and military affiliation with Zionism, Israel and its lobbies. If 'Israel' is indeed a 'light onto the nations', someone better explain to us all, why its prospect of peace is becoming slimmer and darker.
My answer is actually simple. Israel can be easily seen as the 'light of nations' as long as you learn from Israel what not to do. In fact this is the message passed to us by the great humanist prophets Jesus and Marx. Love your neighbour, be among others, transcend yourself beyond the tribal into the realm of the universal. In fact this is exactly what the Israelis fail to grasp. For some reason, they love themselves almost as much as they hate their neighbours.
If Admiral Di Paola wants to win the hearts and the minds of the Afghani people (rather than 'winning a war'), he should first learn to love. This is something he won't learn in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. Gaza, Ramallha and Nablus are more likely.
*« I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles » (Isaiah 42:6)
