I'm 14 years old, and want to become "completely" Paleo. I'm having no problems with giving up grain products, however, dairy is much more difficult. I have to admit I'm kind of insecure about the idea, even though I know dairy isn't very beneficial. Also, I'm having conflicts with my parents on giving up all dairy products. They're mainly concerned about me getting enough calcium, and are still held back by the idea that dairy is the only source. Does anyone have any thoughts about how to get plenty of calcium without dairy? I know that you can get it from veggies, but what types, and how much would you have to eat? Thanks
Don't get caught up in paleo "purity" striving for "complete" paleo. Just do what works. Minimizing things like dairy, gluten, other neolithic foods, etc is 90% (SWAG) as effective as eliminating them all together. I was a milk-addict when I was a kid, drinking nearly a gallon per day at times. But I've recently weaned myself off large amounts of fluid milk, while not cutting all dairy out (after all, occasional cheese, cream, sour cream, etc... are all very tasty!) I've found that I do better without the fluid milk, there might be some advantage to go totally dairy-free, but I'm not willing to forgo foods I enjoy without significant health advantages. |
I can definitely relate to giving up dairy! I'm doing the Whole30 challenge this month, and talked about (whined about) my issues with giving up dairy on my blog. The idea that we need dairy for adequate calcium is definitely a myth. You can get calcium from foods like broccoli, spinach, sardines, and most nuts... and you might not even need as much as you think, as Living Paleo suggests. I'm not a doctor or a nutritionist, but I have a theory that the reason for why people eating a neolithic diet seem to believe they need large amount of calcium (and they probably do) is because of their highly acidic diet. Because they eat such large quantities of grains, they need the extra calcium to strengthen their bones from the acidic load. But of course, getting calcium from dairy can be problematic for a lot of people. One question to ask is, do you actually have a problem with dairy? If you do, and it effects you negatively, I would opt to give it up all-together, and read this article at Whole9. However, if you are able to tolerate some dairy, then you might consider staying away from conventional dairy, and get more higher quality full-fat dairy sources, and read this article at Paleo Diet Lifestyle. You might even consider reading both articles -- the Whole9 article which is against dairy entirely, and the Paleo Diet Lifestyle article which promotes certain types of dairy -- and then come up with your own conclusion. Good luck, and hope you find the balance that's right for you! :) |
Broccoli would be a good choice for a vegetable. I would keep dairy(maybe have a little less). Perhaps keep butter. I like Kurt Harris's view on dairy: |
Paleo opposes dairy because of lactose and casein problems. I agree with this opposition, but there's a middle approach that actually works fine for me without adverse effects: goat/sheep lactose-free dairy. The goat/sheep casein is different than the problematic cow one, and the limited lactose helps on that too. Interestingly, I wrote an article on my blog about exactly this just a few hours ago: http://eugenia.queru.com/2012/01/04/paleo-and-dairy/ |
If you have no symptoms of dairy intolerance I don't think you need to give up dairy completely. I don't think I'd do Matt's gallon per day :-)) but I use a little cream in my coffee, I eat 1/2 cup of yogurt every day and I occasionally cook my eggs in butter. On the other hand, if you notice symptoms of something not being quite right, your dairy would be the first thing to suspect. |
You are 14. Get off nutrition websites before you develop an eating disorder. You know what's healthy: veggies, fruits, lean meats, dairy. Don't be afraid of fat, don't be afraid of carbs, use them in moderation as they work for you. And dairy is good for you if you tolerate it, especially as you are 14 years old. |
I use to buy raw grass-fed whole cow's milk and make my own yogurt, drinking around 1 cup per day... low in lactose, lots of good healthy fats and full of vitamins/minerals... right? Well, all that may be true, but I decided to cut dairy out for a month and it has made a significant difference. My digestion is more complete, and the acne I had on my face went away... Also, for a couple days after cutting out all dairy I had headaches, which I never get otherwise. It could be unrelated, but after doing a little reading it seems like I'm not the only one that has experienced these symptoms. In my case, I think it has to do with the A1 type milk casein (the milk protein found in most US milk) and the possible issues associated with its consumption. Goats milk is mainly A2, and also low in lactose, so I might experiment with that in the future to see if it makes any difference. Morale of the story; just try taking it out and see how you feel, then go from there! |
Robb Wolf interviewed Loren Cordain about his new book: The Paleo Answer Cordain mentions the RDA for calcium is likely based on unrealistic assessments due to the fact they were arrived at in milk drinking cultures. Seth Roberts takes on epidemiology and in the process points out: In spite of the conventional idea, the rate of hip fracture has been highest in places where people eat a lot of calcium, such as Sweden, and lowest in places where they eat little, such as Hong Kong. Now, take a minute before you tell them about this stuff and ask yourself whether or not hitting them with logic and science will actually help or hinder your cause. |
Thanks for all the great answers! Unfortunately I'm "not allowed" to give up dairy (seriously, my parents are so closed-minded it's insane), I was thinking of a compromise where I have the occasional kefir, cheese and butter. I also found the marrow bone broth idea to be interesting. |
Hey Tansaku! I am lactose intolerant. I have been on/off with dairy, but i must admit, after i have eaten cheese (aged Gouda cheese for example), butter or milk(lactose free, D vitamin added) i feel my teeth are stronger.And i would say the sensation comes very quickly.Try products that are lactose free or with a low content of it. If you are not getting your food with organic-super-quality, i think it would be wiser to add some milk, especially when u are not intolerant! |
Hey, I'm sixteen and have been paleo for almost a year know. Before hand I was raw vegan (eliminated dairy cold turkey) and it helped clear up my skin(especially when I dropped the grains). In order for your body to absorb calcium, you need to have magnesium with it. Brocolli of course is a super source but so is rare or even raw ground beef. In addition you can make your own calcium supplement by fine grinding egg shells ( one per day) and adding a bit of lemon juice to it to make it bioavailable to the body. You can buy gelatin capsules at most health food stores or pharmacies and its a cheap supplement. In addition, almonds, salmon, sardines, almost all green leafy vegetables and flax are good sources. The body does not need as much calcium as you have been lead to believe. "Tere is also evidence showing that certain cells in our body play the roll of bringing calcium into our bones, and other cells which play the roll of taking calcium out of our bones. There is a limit for how many cells responsible for bringing calcium into our bones stay around for. If during our lives we begin to consume too much calcium, these cells will be used up a lot faster due to the fact more are needed to transport the calcium into our bones. If say after 10years you have no more calcium transporting cells, your body is no longer going to be able to replenish our bones with calcium to stay strong. This may help explain why Eskimos who consume a high amount of calcium, up to 2000mg a day through sea animals, have a high rate of osteoporosis.

I would say eat a lot of spinach salad leaves with your paleo seafood or meat choices. My default dinner is organ meat or seafood and salad. |

NEW HAVEN — Wayne Washington, 26, has been shot three times, operated on the streets for years and has two felonies on his record, both related to possession of firearms.
But since getting out of prison, where he served less than a year, Washington has turned his life around in a big way.
He earned associate's and bachelor's degrees and is attending a master's degree program at Southern Connecticut State University where he finished last semester with a 3.3 grade point average.
He even has a job as a case management worker at Columbus House.
But as he looks to the future, his criminal record likely will stand in the way of his ultimate goal: to become a college professor.
Washington was one of about 20 people who attended a free session at City Hall recently to get coaching on the process of seeking a pardon.
As part of Mayor John DeStefano Jr.'s Prison Reentry Initiative, six sessions are scheduled, beginning May 30 through Aug. 8.
Washington's story is more remarkable than most, but those seeking to clear their records are also usually doing so to increase their chances of employment.
Advocates of the pardon system say employment is key to giving a second chance to those convicted of a crime. Continued...
Without a job, the cycle of crime is more likely to continue and the family unit more likely to suffer, resulting in distress for children, advocates of the pardon system say.
Maurice Smith, chairman of the Freddie Fixer Parade Committee and a paralegal, has guided people through the pardon process for years free of charge, because the paperwork is huge and the steps specific.
Smith, who receives a grant through the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven to help with expenses related to pardons, got involved as a member of Elm City Nation, an antiviolence group that went after gang activity.
Gang members told Smith their records were mostly what stood in the way of employment, so he did some research, learned of the pardons and started helping.
Maurice said he's seen as many as six felonies erased from a person's record.
"A lot of people didn't understand the concept and they don't understand legal documents," he said. "A lot of people had a criminal history and were ashamed to go before the board, but I told them, 'They already know what you did. Their focus is on what you've been doing since.'"
The pardon process, while still cumbersome, is easier than it was 15 years ago, when felons had to wait seven years from date of conviction to apply for a full pardon, five years for those with misdemeanors. The time frame is now five years and three years, respectively. People convicted of a crime can seek pardons only after completing their sentence, which might range from prison to probation to a fine.
Those subsequent years have to be clean years without any convictions. A provisional pardon can be applied for anytime, and comes with a certificate of employability, making it illegal for an employer to deny employment based on one's criminal record.
"This is important to me because, if you really look at the root causes of why these people are out in those gangs, it balloons out of control because people are not getting jobs," Smith said. "Some of the root causes of violence, drug activity stems from the fact they can't get employment."
Smith, who's helped many get pardons — and seen even more turned down — said it's not as easy as some might think for the convicted person to take the step. Continued...
"It's not easy for a lot of these cats out here to swallow their pride," he said.
But some 20 men and women did swallow that pride to attend a session at City Hall, where they received the application and a half-hour group overview followed by 90 minutes of individual help.
The overview was delivered by Eric Grey, community grant coordinator for the mayor's reentry initiative. He explained the types of pardons: the provisional pardon, conditional pardon, and the full expungement, in which it's all wiped clean.
"It's as if you never committed a crime," Grey told them of the latter.
He told them the process is lengthy and, while there's no fee, there are associated costs, such as for copies of criminal records.
"If you're looking for employment, don't wait," he told them. Grey added that having a job while applying is actually a plus, as is any community service or church activity.
"The granting of a pardon is a completely subjective process. They can accept or deny it for any reason," Grey said.
He warned them that being a sex offender or having committed homicide or a brutal assault would lessen the chances of a pardon.
Part of the application calls for essays describing the criminal incident and what they should have done differently.
Grey told the pardon session attendees to "avoid minimization" of the conviction, such as writing, "it wasn't my fault," or, "I was set up." Continued...
New Haven Reentry Coordinator Althea Marshall Brooks said it's important to let people reentering society from prison know there are resources, even though the pardon is not an immediate one. Brooks said some people feel isolated when they get out of prison.
Brooks said Washington is a great example of the success of reentry.
Since it's been less than five years since conviction, Washington said he's going for a provisional pardon and later will seek expungement.
Washington, who had always been told by teachers how smart he was, hit rock bottom while incarcerated, he said.
"If you want to be a loser, all you have to do is hang out with losers," he said of his realization. "In prison, I saw how brainwashed my peers were and saw a lot of potential going nowhere."
While in prison, he helped people get their GEDs through tutoring, and his No. 1 goal was to go back to college.
Washington came out of prison and got two college degrees in one year. He'd already had some credits before his time in prison.
In his job at Colombus House, where he deals mainly with people reentering society after prison, Washington tries to motivate by telling them there are resources today if they want to make an effort.
He hopes to get a pardon and lead by example.
Charmaine Service, 47, recently received a pardon through the Freddie Fixer program after being turned down twice for technicalities.
Service, who works at Dollar Tree and hopes now to get a job at Yale-New Haven Hospital in cleaning or dietary services, said she was arrested in 2001 on drug charges, including intent to sell, when she took a stained comforter back to K-Mart and they found drugs stashed in the package. She said someone put the drugs in the bag, not knowing she was going to return the item.
"It (the conviction) hurt me a lot because I had an opportunity one time to get a job. They called me for an interview and I disclosed the conviction and they said they couldn't hire me," she said.
"They ask you what you're doing for society," she said, noting it all seemed to turn around when she returned to church in 2007.
She said the pardon wouldn't have been as meaningful if she received it one of the first two times she had tried, because she's in a different spiritual place now.
"I thank God for (Maurice Smith). I couldn't have done it without him," she said.
Some people of more means hire attorneys to assist in their pardon quest.
Attorney Tara Knight of New Haven recently represented a Woodstock, N.Y., man, James DeChiario, in his successful bid to get a full pardon for robbery and unlawful restraint convictions.
DeChiario, a former North Haven resident, said having his criminal record was a blockade, and it limited him from accomplishing his goals.
"It is extremely hard to get any decent paying job," DeChiario said. "Having this record has always been something I've been ashamed of. No one wants to be known as someone who did this."
DeChiario has worked as a chef, but lost his job due to the economy a few weeks ago, and now is doing manual labor for the summer.
"I am absolutely hopeful that now, with this pardon, my job search efforts will be easier, and I'll be able to get a job in the corporate world," DeChiario said. "In the past, any corporate place I applied to turned me down instantly. Now that I have a pardon, I'll have just as much chance as anyone. I just want to move forward and be a productive member of society."
John DeFeo, executive director of the Board of Pardons and Paroles, said most individuals who come before the board seeking a pardon have convictions for minor crimes, but the board does also consider pardons for serious convictions.
"What the person has done in the meantime carries more weight than how serious the crime was," DeFeo said. "People with records do have a tougher time getting jobs. ... If people have jobs, it lowers the rate of re-offense."
Knight said: "It is not easy (to get a pardon), but they are becoming more open-minded to granting (pardons) because of the impact on their employability," Knight said. "They are not rubber-stamping pardons by any means." In cases when a reformed person continues to have a criminal record, "It has been creating a whole class of unemployable people."

Thanks to artists Mark Leahy, the next time you visit KidSpace you will see a majestic jungle as part of our decor!
Mr. Leahy works with The Young Singers of the Palm Beaches as a Visual/Scenic Designer. In their successful spring production, in May 2009 at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Act One was brought to a colorful conclusion with the song, "Circle of Life" from the musical, The Lion King. For this number, Mark Leahy, together with the deft assistance of Peggy Duncan, created playful and majestic jungle animals as a homage to children's book collage artist, Eric Carle.
In the field of scenic design, Mr. Leahy has created sets for such shows as Godspell, The Pirates of Penzance, and Carnival. In collaboration with his brother, Dan Leahy, they have created many original theatre projects and modern dance productions. His passion for theatre also includes directing, writing and producing.

This important book is the first to offer practical guidance to information management professionals seeking to implement web archiving programmes of their own. It is essential reading for those who need to collect and preserve specific elements of the web – from national domains or individual subject areas to an organization's own website.
Drawing on the author's experience of managing The National Archives' web archiving programme, together with lessons learned from other international initiatives, this book provides a comprehensive overview of current best practice. It assumes only a basic understanding of IT and web technologies, but also offers much to more technically-oriented readers.
Contents include:
- The development of web archiving
- Selection policies
- Collection methods
- Quality assurance
- Preservation
- Delivery to users
- Optimizing websites for archiving
- Legislation
- Managing a web archiving programme
- Future trends
Written to address audiences from the whole spectrum of information management sectors, this book is vital reading for three types of reader: policy-makers, who need to make decisions about establishing or developing an institutional web archiving programme; information management professionals, who may be required to implement a web archiving programme; and website owners and web masters, who may be required to facilitate archiving of their own websites.
Adrian Brown is Head of Digital Preservation at The National Archives

Fayetteville Offers Free Shredding
By: Jay Dillon
Updated: October 3, 2012
The City is providing a shredding service for the destruction and recycling of documents on Saturday, October 6, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the Solid Waste and Recycling Site located at 1560 S. Happy Hollow Road in Fayetteville.
The public is invited to participate in this service for proper destruction of secure documents and to help protect against identity theft. The Arkansas Attorney General's Office advises "Don't let 'one man's trash become an identity thief's treasure.' Shred or otherwise destroy any statements, documents, or records, which contain personal information after they are no longer needed." While many residents and businesses do not have a shredder, this free service offers something that can help many people in Fayetteville while also providing assurance that such shredded paper will be recycled.

Escape From Mount Stupid - Metal Gear
This week on Escape From Mount Stupid, Danny tackles the many incarnations of Metal Gear.
The bell rang for lunch, and five of us made our way into town. It was early 1999, and I had just turned 13. My friends and I would usually start our generous 90-minute school lunch break by going to the local shop for some grub, but on this day we walked straight past--this day was different.
We walked to the book shop and huddled around the games magazine section. There it was: Issue 42 of Official PlayStation Magazine UK. And stuck onto the front with adhesive resin was a cover disk containing the first playable demo of Metal Gear Solid. We grabbed five of them, paid the man, and ran back to school. I didn't concentrate much in class that afternoon.
It's amazing what you remember, but I recently posted an image of this issue on Twitter and was inundated with stories familiar to mine. For many of us, this demo sparked a love affair with the series that still remains. For others, the story of Metal Gear goes back much further.
Metal Gear is the story of a designer finding his vision, of a franchise spanning 25 years, of young men getting old, of war changing. It's not an easy series to sum up in a single video, but if this episode fails to answer every question you had about the series, I hope it succeeds in celebrating one of gaming's most beloved franchises.

@ShadowofSonic good for you too bad the majority hate gayden
snake and big boss will always remain the best characters...gayden will always be a shadow
Don't forget the Natorious Gray Fox the only man able to hold a candle to the snakes
@ShadowofSonic I thought he would have had one of the greatest send off in videogames if he died with Liquid's Outer haven submarine crashed into him while he tried to save Snake. Yet, not only he lived through that by untold mystery, but was practically scratch less and even a videogame coming along :\
I kinda look at MGS4 the same way I look at RE4. The first three MGS games (starting with the ps1 version) were built pretty much the same way. When part 4 came out, it was on a different console, had drastically better graphics, so many in game options with CQC and things like that, that I never even learned all of them. The camera angle was different, the camo was automatic, etc. So I think MGS4 kind of stands alone as a new era in the game. It took a huge jump forward kinda the same way Ocarina of Time did compared to the previous Zelda games. I hate making that comparison though cuz that's kinda what the MGS game on the PS1 did. So I guess it had two huge leaps forward.
Parts 1, 2, and 3 seem to all fit together into their own era, even though 2 and 3 were on PS2. As far as those three games, I'd have to say the first one is my favorite. Next would be Snake Eater for it's best graphics of the three games, the introduction of camouflage, the cooler and less repetitive environments, the ability to kills lots and lots of wildlife (which is in all the Mario and Zelda games, so why not MGS?), and the cooler characters. Then last but not least is Sons of Liberty. I didn't hate it or have a shit fit over the fact that we had to deal with Raiden, but it was a let down overall to not play as Snake the whole time. Still, a great game that also introduced cool new features like storage options for unconscious people, first person view, looking around corners, etc.
I don't have a favorite, they are all great, and each one holds something special for each person. The story and characters are what makes this series great, and each game is like a chapter or book in one of the greatest sagas ever. Kojima is a genius, and hopefully, Metal Gear will never die!
I played all of them and loved every single one of them...except ACID of course. IT was something different. Can't wait for 2 new ones.
I started playing this series from the PS (the first MGS). And frankly, the first one was the best! They were all good but the first one was something else.. It's probably the effect of "first time" but anyway.
Wow, this is great guys, I watched MGS video and now this, I both play frequently (specially SC2) GREAT WORK!
Oh man, those 4th wall experiences. Somehow Kojima manages to get me EVERY TIME.
The Game Over thing in MGS2 almost made me hurl my controller.
The "HIDEO 2" screen in MGS4 had me looking on on the PS3 like "omfg did you break?"
Truly memorable moments, partly because he does these things at some pretty intense and involving parts of the game. These are the things that separate great games from the elite.
i liked mgs2 besides the annoying girfriend im playing part 3 now and doesnt seem as enjoyable
Just get the MGS4 Collectors edition and they have all this stuff in here on Blu-Ray.
MGS1 and 3 for gameplay are the best... MGS2 was too much of Raiden and too less of Snake; and MGS4 was too mych gamplay versus cyborgs than human soldiers, that was not so good. (Sorry for my english, my language is spanish)
@jceledono thats why it got a 10 and its the best selling mgs to date ?
hate more plz like it or not mgs4 is one of the top 5 best games the last 2 generations
mgs4 is the definition of what a true video game is. From the cinematics to the great voice acting to the AI. And i know that their wasnt a single person in the world who could stay calm during the microwave sequence were everything begins to fall apart.
@killerjay13 Eh no no no no MGS 4 is not a true videogame It sucks. MGS3 is way better. Now MGS4 it is a game compare to asuras wrath.
@CRAPCOM1926 Oh my, Clearly you don,t know MGS very well hey. MGS4 was the absolute best anything you could ever play. MGS3 was awesome, but MGS4 was decades ahead in every possible way.
@killerjay13 MGS4 the only MG game that i dont like and i hate, heck even the ACID has a betetr story.
nice one i like metal gear but i reall dont wanna break my brain playing it so i only played mgs4 which is amazing
dont really [layed zelda ever but in a differerent issue is why dont you do hitman!!!!! also i know people hate it but its not that bad so maybe do one on cod remember how many games it sold!!!!
MGS series for me will always be the game series that started the whole epic story telling in the industry
The game was indeed way ahead of it's time, when mgs2 came in 2001... the story elling, the dialogue, cutscenes, gameplay, boss battles. Everything about it was just incredible.
Sure we have other games that are good, but I tell you something...
MGS series's story..is simply awesome...it's just a genre of it's own...
I have played other games, sure they have better gameplay, but mgs series offers the whole package, it's bloody brilliant!
absolutely great once again Danny, loving the Johnny cameo, love the end too "what is it we have next week?" o_o haha
I have to say that the best MGS has to be Snake Eater. Ive played MGS 1,2,3, and 4 in order but Snake Eater was simply the best. The story was simple, the controls felt just right, and the cutscenes were sweet. MGS4's cutscenes were pretty well made, and I have to say the game was a masterpiece, but MGS3 was still slightly better.
I forgot about the microwave tunnel, pretty much broke out in a cold sweat just thinking about it...KEEPING PRESSING X! YOU CAN MAKE IT SNAKE!
I remember the NES version of Metal Gear and trying to play that.
The bstrd child that was Metal Gear 2: Snake's Revenge I played, thinking it was a sequel only to discover much later on that it was all lies, LIES!
Ah, the memories. Played passed MGS, MGS: Twin Snakes. Didn't finish 2; didn't care much about Raiden. Finished 3, 3: Subsistence. Finished 4. Didn't play Peace Walker.
Going to replay them all just to get ready for the next MGS.
Sorry but you have your facts wrong Twin Snakes was just a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1 on the Gamecube with the graphics from Metal Gear Solid 2.
@solidus2_1 Its a shame that there are still people out there that need you to explain this to them hey.
@Threesixtyci The game might have come out between those two, but it was a remake for MGS1
@Craigy--IRE @Threesixtyci No... push the video to 7:40. He says that Twin Snakes was made before MGS2 SOL. He even says that Twin snakes was glimpse of MGS2 engine. I'm pointing out a mistake in the video.
Twin Snakes is just a remake of Metal Gear Solid 1 with Metal Gear Solid 2 Graphics. and dont tell me no Because I own and have played Twin Snakes.
I understand and appreciate how expansive some of the recent franchises have been that EFMS has tackled, but I feel like they've been less funny than informative as of late. Don't get me wrong, I like learning about the history of some of these game series, but I also liked laughing hysterically at them.
"Eating a plate of chicken, and shooting dogs in the face! Shooting dogs in the face?? Talk about wish fulfillment!"
Haven't have the time to play MGS4 just yet so Snake Eater is really the best I'd played on the series.
Seriously, not that I walk away with great exposure in these videos, but hands down EFMS is my favorite "show". MGS has been a beloved series of mine and honestly I'll admit that I cried at the end of MGS3. The end was spectacular and I truly felt like Snake was killing his own mother. Great series.

November 2011 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part I)
Update 12/01/2011: November Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
This first half of November has been very hard for Steam. The Valve Online Gaming Platform suffered a security breach putting at risk a potential sample of 37 million of users and hence wins the crown for the Major Breach of the First Half of November.
Also a sportswear giant like Adidas fell among the victims of cybercriminals, with a "sophisticated attack" targeting 500,000 users.
This month was also hot for the Cold Finland which has suffered two security breaches involving more than 30,000 users (a third breach also happened on November, the 16th, affecting 16,000 users but of course will be reported in the next report).
Two other CAs (KPN and Digicert Sdn Bhd Malaysia, not to be confused with Digicert US-based CA) were compromised. Also F-secure discovered a sample of malware signed with a valid certificate stolen from a Malasyan company.
On a larger scale, after 2 years of hunt, FBI uncovered a huge Botnet in Estonia, which stole $14 million from 4 million users worldwide, while on the other side of the Globe, Brazilian ISPS were targeted by a massive DNS Poisoning attack.
Not even Facebook was safe this month, whose (too) many users were targeted with a malware posting pornographic images on their wall exploiting an Internet Explorer Vulnerability.
As far as hactivism is concerned, the political events in the real world had a predictable echo in the Cyber space, with an attack to Palestine the day after the nation was admitted as a full member of UNESCO.
As a retaliation, some Israeli Government web sites were targeted with a wave of DDoS attacks by the infamous Anonymous hacking group. In any case the Anonymous were active also in other Cyberwar fronts acting a couple of defacements and DDoS (in one case they targeted the Muslim Brotherhood) and were also the authors to one of the two attacks in Finland (the one towards a right-wind party).
A group of Hackers called TeaMp0isoN claimed to have hacked more than 150 Email Id's of International Foreign Governments even if this statement is controversial.
What is not controversial is the Cyberwar declared against Mexico which was targeted, in November, by a massive waves of Cyber Attacks.
Besides these noticeable events, the month was characterized by many other minor attacks and dumps among which, particularly noticeable are: the attacks to a couple of banks (DDoS and defacements) and Universities (UCLA and Standford hit by data breaches), and the Fox Business Twitter Account Hacking (Oops they did it again!).
The month ends with the first example of malware targeting ambulance.
Please notice that I decided henceforth not to insert attacks targeting a limited amount of users and most of all, claimed without clear evidence: in this month I discovered a claimed fake attack to Italian Police announced recycling old data.

As far as my point, I bought those games for their campaigns.
So I can just as easily justify Battlefield 3 for its multiplayer.
If developers want to put absolutely no effort into certain aspects of their game they should just get rid of the feature and price their product accordingly. Of course, that way they wouldn't be able to trick people into paying u$60 for something that will probably be garbage.
Being content with shit doesn't help you in any way as a consumer.

Post subject: Prison Dog Programs w/Tiffany Brown of HS of Ashland County!
Just what is an Inmate Community Service Dog Program or a "cell dog"? Well, be here the week of May 23rd and find out! Ever considered adopting a pet that has been through an inmate community service program? Or perhaps wondered how your shelter or rescue could get involved? Join us May 23rd- 29th for Inmate Community Service Dog Programs with our expert Tiffany Brown from the Humane Society of Ashland County and learn all about the benefits of these programs!
The Humane Society of Ashland County is a non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals through the rescue, care and placement of injured, abused, neglected and abandoned animals into permanent and loving homes. We serve as advocates for animals, strive to end animal overpopulation, and are committed to providing community service programs and educating the public about the humane treatment of animals.
The Ashland County Humane Society also works with the Mansfield Correctional Institute to help homeless dogs in need. Dogs enrolled in the program are housed at the prison, and are cared for by specially selected inmates, who also train the dogs. A professional dog trainer works with the inmates, teaching them how to train the dogs, who learn basic obedience and are housebroken, making them easier to adopt into families. The Humane Society of Ashland County offers and performs all of our services without a building. We operate solely with a network of foster homes, and the Cell Dog Program.

What sort of training do these dogs get? Do they cost more because they are trained?
Tiffany's Answer
Dogs are taught basic obedience, sit, stay, come, heel, to walk on a leash, and to heel and walk beside trainer off leash (this is a goal but breed and personality determine that). If the dog is not housebroken then that is also trained, and dogs whom have some social issues such as being shy/timid we work with different handlers to get to know multiple people and so the dog becomes less timid.
Sometimes the handlers teach tricks such as "shake" ect.
Our adoption fee covers our cost of vetting, Cell Dogs do not have a higher fee.

Post subject:
What requirements if any do the dogs have to meet to be in a cell program? Do you find that a certain type of dog does better than others?
Tiffany's Answer:
Early in the program the Prison ask we not bring "bully" breed into the program that could be trained for "corrupt" proposes. We honor that request and do not take in purebred German Shepards, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Pit bulls ect.
The prison also ask we keep the extremely large breeds to a minimum at one time, due to space issues. These dogs spend the entire time with the handler, so they are in lock down at bedtime with them, chow in the mess hall ect.
We attempt to keep the dogs in the program under the age of 5, but this is not a definitive criteria.
All dogs must be completely vetted for safety of dogs and handlers, such as Rabies vaccinations, treated for worms and are spayed/neutered. And, we quarantine them prior to taking them into the prison. We do not wish to contaminate 25 healthy dogs with kennel cough or parvo.
We typically do not put toy breed type dogs in the program and they are the breeds that do not do as well. There are a lot of people moving around in the prison, and little dogs get under feet sometimes, they are also scared to be under feet and scared of all the chaos (such as laundry carts, bells/buzzers ect). The same is for extremely shy dogs that can't be re-socialized in such a large structure, we generally pull these dogs out if they are not doing well and put them in a more individualized setting of a foster home.

I read that the prison approached you about this program. I'm on the board of a rescue group, how would you suggest we find out about getting our dogs involved in one of these programs?
Tiffany's Answer:
My thought is that you will have to approach a facility. We have heard of a local jail operating such a program, it does not have to be a State Prison.
In your approach you are going to have to show them the benefits of having such a program. If it is a County program (such a local jail/county pound) you could show them costs that could be saved by not euthanizing, higher rate of number of placements in "cell" dogs, possible higher adoptions fees, community service hours for prisoners, better behavior of prisoners desiring to be a handler, less strain on shelter staff in caring daily animals (food/water, kennel cleaning), less over crowding in shelter, and the notoriety the County politicians will get for such a wonderful community service program.
You are going to have as much details as possible, how many dogs, where they will come from, will they be behavior assessed, how they will be adopted, who will be facilitating the adoption, how long they will be in program, how/who will supply food, flea treatments, leashes, what type of vet care the cell dogs will receive and at what point, ect. Rules for which prisoner will be allowed to handle dogs. What the goal is for the dogs (training, service dogs, greyhound rescue, ect) and who will be providing said training, how and when, ect.
Again, this is going to hinge on how beneficial and popular it seems to the people you are pitching it to. People don't like change and they are going to see this as extra work and hassle. So, you have to do your homework and come up with as much detail as possible and then work out the kinks if you get a program launched. You may want to find one person on the Board you will be pitching it to, so you can have their support, they can talk it up to the others, and they can give you feedback as to what issues are being discussed, so you can overcome objections.
Goodluck, we hope for your success!

have you ever had adopters that were skeptical of adopting cell dogs? If yes, how do you address any concerns? Do you see a higher rate of adoptions for cell dogs?
Tiffany's Answer:
Most certainly we can say our dogs get adopted quicker, which allows us to save a larger number of dog. We have had people come from other states, some several away and we even assisted in flying a dog to Canada. I think people want to tell their friends and family their dog was a "cell dog", I also think they want to participate in such a feel good community service program.
We don't really have skeptics of the dogs per say, we have had a few people concerned with the handlers and their treatment or handling of the dogs because they are people who have done bad things, so they assume they are mistreating the dogs.
once you explain the policies to become a handler and what you have to do to maintain the status of a handler then they feel at ease.
The only issue we really have with our program is that without a facility, the dogs are allowed to stay in program for up to 6 months. We have found that some dogs who happen to be in the program for months and have a handler with them 24/7, then sometimes have separation anxiety in there new homes, when their new family goes to school and work. We really try not to have the dogs in the prison that long for reasons, and if ever we get a facility the dogs will then be transferred to the facility for adoption once training is complete.

Welcome Tiffany and thank you for being here! I'd like to kick things off by asking a question. Can you tell us a bit about what a prison dog program is and how the Humane Society of Ashland County got involved with this program?
Tiffany's Answer:
Our prison program is set up to give homeless and ordinary animals a second chance (other train service dogs, rescue greyhounds and such), we have discovered that many of the dogs who end up in shelters do so because of behavior/training issues, mostly due to lack of time or knowledge of the original owner.
We feel that if the dog's issues could be dealt with and the dog could have proper training, then when the dog is placed in it next home it then has a higher percentage of permanent placements.
On the flip side the prisoners whom train the dogs are taught responsibilities, unconditional love and caring. Some even leave the program to become dog groomers and such.
Each dog is assigned two handlers "prisoners" to care for it. The prisoners can not be incarcerated for certain and most serious violations. All must have clean files in order to be awarded the responsibility of a dog. If any prisoner violates his good behavior he loses his right to handle a dog. There is always a waiting list to become a dog handler.
Once a week we send a dog trainer into the prison to train the dogs and the handler is to continue the training learned that week until the next weeks training; this goes on for a period of 6 weeks. As you can guess many of the trainers who have been in the program a while, know the routine and do a very good job at knowing what will be expected of the dog.
All dogs of The Humane Society of Ashland County are spay/neutered, wormed, microchipped, vaccinated and then enter the prison for a minimum of 6 weeks of training. Since we do not have a facility the prison has agreed to allow our dogs in there a maximum of 6 months (I am aware other programs get their dogs out immediately upon completion of their training).
This program has been in operation approximately 12 years and the prison originally approached us with the opportunity as they were the ones who wanted to implement it, and another group had declined. We then had meetings with the prison about expectations and the goals of each party, and then started into operations. We originally started with a small group of dogs (around 10) grew it to approximately 40 dogs allowed at one time in the prison and with the cut backs, so came the program cut backs, so we currently keep 25 dogs in there at all times.

SEC Commissioner Elisse Walter listens during a meeting at the Securities and Exchange Commission on Sept. 19, 2011. (Alex Wong/Getty Images) |
WASHINGTON -- President Obama on Monday designated Elisse Walter as chairwoman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, but it's unclear if the Democratic commissioner will be the permanent replacement for outgoing Mary Schapiro.
Walter, who has served on the SEC since July 2008, will take over the reins of the agency after Schapiro steps down on Dec. 14. Schapiro announced her resignation Monday.
Obama thanked Schapiro for her "steadfast leadership."
"When Mary agreed to serve nearly four years ago, she was fully aware of the difficulties facing the SEC and our economy as a whole," Obama said in a written statement.
"But she accepted the challenge, and today, the SEC is stronger and our financial system is safer and better able to serve the American people – thanks in large part to Mary's hard work," he said.
Obama can designate a current commissioner as chairman. But he must nominate a permanent replacement, who then has to be confirmed by the Senate.
After Schapiro departs next month, the SEC will have two Democrats and two Republicans, making it difficult to pass any controversial measures.
The White House did not indicate if Walter was among those being considered for the nomination.
Walter served as chairwoman for a short period in January 2009 after the departure of former Chairman Christopher Cox, before Schapiro was sworn in.
Walter, a former executive at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the National Assn. of Securities Dealers, has been mentioned as a permanent replacement for Schapiro.
Obama said he was "confident that Elisse's years of experience will serve her well in her new position."

how can we get more participation in this forum come on guys'n gals get involved. |

Maybe the fact that the forum is black is intimidating. I get here via FiringLine forums and the contrast scared me off for the first few times. But then I kind of just check in once in awhile because the lack of posts. Maybe if we could get a good subject in here...
I'm not very imaginative. (: Last edited by JimPage; January 8, 2012 at 01:43 PM. Reason: typo |

2WD 5dr LX
Starting at $19,350 | Starting at 21 MPG City - 28 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
A leading sport utility vehicle choice in a very competitive category, the 2011 Honda CR-V comes in 4 superbly-equipped trim levels. Cruise control, power windows and locks, 8 drink holders and an audio system with MP3 playback capability is standard on the entire 2011 Honda CR-V range. New for 2011, a SE-trimmed Honda CR-V merges ahead of the base LX model offering an in-dash 6-disc CD changer, rear privacy glass and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. Power for the 2011 CR-V is gracefully provided from the 180 horsepower, 2.4 liter inline-4 powerplant featuring all-aluminum construction and Honda's intelligent-VTEC system. Handled through a 5-speed automatic transmission, engine momentum can flow into either front-wheel or four-wheel drive. Providing 21 miles per gallon in city fuel economy with both drivetrain configurations, highway gas consumption of 24 miles per gallon with the front-wheel drive model betters the 2011 Honda CR-V four-wheel drive by a single mile. Safety equipment including front, side as well as curtain airbags, anti-lock braking and electronic stability control is inclusive on all 2011 Honda CR-V models.
The CR-V offers car-like performance and crossover cargo and passenger flexibility. The 2011 Honda CR-V is one of the roomiest, most versatile vehicles in its class and qualifies as a good alternative to a minivan for growing families. Safety features are well-represented, and it stands as offering some of the best occupant protection in its class. The CR-V also doesn't let shoppers down as a minivan alternative, offering a configuration that's great for growing families, with plenty of thoughtful, cargo-friendly touches.
After an extensive round of equipment and feature upgrades last year, including more power, a newly available Bluetooth interface, and a mild design refresh, the Honda CR-V is carried over into 2011 mostly unchanged. The only major change is the introduction of a new special edition (SE) model that will slot between the LX and EX trims and include some but not all of the EX extras.
The 2011 Honda CR-V remains offered in LE, EX and EX-L models; all are powered by a 180-horsepower, 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine and have a 5-speed automatic transmission. There's a choice of front-wheel drive or Real Time all-wheel drive--a system that sends power to the front wheels most of the time for fuel efficiency, and sending more to the back as needed.

I had tried to post this once before but does not look like it did:
Korean F-16 vs. JSDF F-15J as they are now, with the weapons currently available. Korean AF has just received its first AWAC and JSDF has a whole fleet of AWAC's/AEW's. Most likely the engagements will take place over water. Any thoughts or comments?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare KF-16 + F-15K against F-2 + F-15J? The latter - because of the much deeper across the board support - win easily imho. Tactics win battles, logistics wins wars. So the KF-16 might win 1v1 against the F-2 and the F-15K might win against the F-15J. But the latter camp definitely has the edge with the logistics in the broader sense.

The idea behind this discussion was simply to discuss a version of F-16 vs. a specific aircraft type. I threw in AWAC since it would probably be integral to any engagement between the two historic adversaries.
Some facts to consider (or not consider):
-Japan obviously has an economy several times the size of that of Korea; but this should not be reflected upon a single or multiple aerial engagements between them. Just because Japan has 200+ F-15J's does not mean that they can "deploy" all of them vs. Korea.
-Korea has more KF-16's (50/52) than F-2's.
-I do not know but don't think AAM-4 has been fully deployed by JSDF??? Whereas KoAF has AAMRAM, as well as AIM9X (on F-15K).
-Korean AF which just received its first AWAC, will need lots of time to make it combat ready. What are your thougts on: KF-16 armed with AAMRAM's (+ Sidewinders) vs. F-15J (not the recently upgraded types) with AAM3 or AAM4 and/or AIM7, with or without AWAC backup? Does anyone know of the pilot training levels/qualities of the two air forces?
Thank you.

I'm sorry but, why do I get the sneaky suspicion that the true intent of the thread was to flame a divide between two different states who should not and need not be inflamed?
C'mon man... I'd especially expect better from Helsinki!!!
But for the sake of the post - how about presenting a JASDF piloted KF-16 vs a ROKAF piloted F-2 DACT scenario as part of a 21st century friendly exchange??

This is supposed to be a discussion forum on F-16, not a world peace promoting website. F-16 is a fighter jet, that are used in ...(peaceful efforts only!)
I highly doubt that any discussion here will "inflame a "divide" between two different states 'who'..." The 2 countries involved are countries/nations and not states and they are not "humans" (They are countries/nations).
C'mon man... I'd especially expect better from Helsinki!!!===>BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Sorry, man, I cannot help you very much and that is not why started this thread.
Welcome to the 21st century===> geogen, get off your butt and read a few newspapers or even watch a few TV news shows.

Information on this page is designed to help you understand the law, regulations, and planning documents that enables NIDRR to do what it does.
The Creation of NIDRR and Its Legislative Mandate
The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) is a federal government agency that came into existence in 1978 within the U.S. Department of Education, and continues to operate today under a federal law known as Title II of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. This law became part of the United States Code (USC) and NIDRR's mandate and mission is described in Title 29, Chapter 16, Subchapter II, Section 762. To view the contents of this section of the US Code
from the Office of the Law Revision Counsel, U.S. House of Representatives, click here.
The Basic Business of NIDRR According to Its Legislative Mandate
The core business of NIDRR is to award grants and contracts to "states and public or private agencies and organizations, including institutions of higher education, Indian tribes and tribal organizations." These entities are then supposed to use this money to plan and conduct research, demonstration projects, training and related activities designed to:
- "Develop methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technology, that maximize the full inclusion and integration into society, employment, independent living, family support, and economic and social self-sufficiency of individuals with disabilities, especially individuals with the most significant disabilities; and
- Improve the effectiveness of vocational rehabilitation and other rehabilitation services. Source: 29 USC Section 764.
The Rules that Help Translate the Intent of the Law Into Agency Operating Guidelines
The Code of Federal Regulations (known as CFR) are the rules that help translate the intent of a Law into broad agency operating guidelines. The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) has its own set of Code of Federal Regulations that describe how our research funding mechanisms should operate. A bullet list of these regulations is listed below by research funding mechanism:
ED General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR): The Rules Funded Grantees Must Follow
EDGAR stands for "Education Department General Administratie Regulations." EDGAR is a sub-section of the Code of Federal Regulations (federal rules) that basically dictate how grants are supposed to be managed. The specific subsections of the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations, current as of June 7, 2011, that comprise EDGAR are listed below:
- 34 CFR Part 74—Administration of Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations
- 34 CFR Part 75—Direct Grant Programs
- 34 CFR Part 76—State-Administered Programs
- 34 CFR Part 77—Definitions That Apply to Department Regulations
- 34 CFR Part 79—Intergovernmental Review of Department of Education Programs and Activities
- 34 CFR Part 80—Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Cooperative Agreements to State and Local Governments
- 34 CFR Part 81—General Education Provisions Act Enforcement
- 34 CFR Part 82—New Restrictions on Lobbying
- 34 CFR Part 84—Government-Wide Requirements for a Drug-Free Workplace (Financial Assistance)
- 34 CFR Part 85—Government-Wide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement)
- 34 CFR Part 86—Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention
- 34 CFR Part 97—Protection of Human Subjects
- 34 CFR Part 98—Student Rights in Research, Experimental Programs, And Testing
- 34 CFR Part 99—Family Educational Rights and Privacy
Requirements and Status of the 2013-2017 Long-Range Plan
The legislative requirements governing NIDRR's Long Range plan are described in 29 U.S.C. § 762(h)
As directed by the legislative requirements, NIDRR has published its Notice of Proposed Long-Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2013-2017 in the Federal Register for comment. The comment period ends on June 18, 2012
Take advantage of the last opportunity to learn about the proposed Long Range Plan via a webinar conducted by the Director and Acting Deputy Director of NIDRR. For more details, check out the announcement in the What's New Section of the NIDRR website
Note: View NIDRR's previous long range plan (NIDRR's Notice of Final Long-Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2005-2009 in the Federal Register.
