Sitka Port of Call
The small town of Sitka on Baranof Island has a rich and colourful history. Originally occupied by the Tlingit Indians, the town was also an important Russian outpost before Alaska was sold to the US in 1867 (a transfer that took place in Sitka).
Despite its size of only 9,000 people, Sitka is a bustling town that attracts more than a quarter of a million visitors each year. With both cultural and natural attractions as well as a variety of good restaurants and lively pubs, Sitka has something to offer everyone.
Cruise ships dock offshore from Sitka, and smaller boats are used to ferry passengers ashore to the O'Connell Bridge Lightering Facility at the foot of Castle Hill or the Crescent Harbor Lightering Facility near the Centennial Hall.
Sitka Convention and Visitors Bureau
Tel: +1 (907) 747-5940
There is a transit shuttle (available on days with more than 1,000 cruise ship visitors scheduled) that stops at Crescent Harbor Shelter, Sheldon Jackson Museum, Sitka Nat'l. Historical Park, Alaska Raptor Center, a downtown stop by Random House, the Tribal Community House, and the O'Connell Bridge docking area. Passengers can buy round-trip tickets or an all-day pass. There are also buses and taxis available, and the town is small enough to be explored on foot.
Sitka's rich history means there are some interesting museums and historical sites in town, including the Sheldon Jackson Museum, Baranof Castle Hill State Historic Site, and Sitka National Historical Park. Of course the beauty of the area surrounding the town is a popular attraction in Sitka, and there are tours available both on land and sea.
The Larkspur Cafe - lively cafe with evening entertainment
Ludwig's Bistro - upmarket Mediterranean cuisine in a cosy atmosphere
Dock Shack - cheap and cheerful seafood at the waterfront

Halibut fish and chips
There are plenty of shops in Sitka, stocking everything from tacky t-shirts to delicious smoked salmon. Furs are a popular souvenir from Sitka, as well as Russian and Tlingit art and crafts.

COST:NON pay pal
1st bracelet- 3$
2 bracelets- 5$
3rd and 4th are as well 2$ SO for 1=3$, 2=5$, 3=7$, 4=9$
I can send 4 MAX! in one letter so your 1st, 5th, 9th... bracelets are going to be 3$
You don't pay until you receive the bracelet(s) and all you do is send your amount back to the billing address, preferably between paper so you cant tell there's money in it.

Example: 2 bracelets= 5$+.50+.14= $5.64. The 14 cents comes from 2.9% of 5$

OAKLAND — Raiders coach Dennis Allen made official Friday what seemed certain all along: Running backs Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson and defensive tackle Richard Seymour won't play against the Baltimore Ravens.
Allen held out hope that one or more of the trio would recover sooner than expected. McFadden and Goodson are nursing high-ankle sprains, and Seymour is battling knee and hamstring issues.
"You don't ever know exactly how someone is going to respond to an injury," Allen said in explaining why he waited so long to make the decision. "Obviously, none of them made enough progress this week that they were able to be up."
Perhaps of more import, Allen said there's already concern about the status of those players beyond Sunday's game against the Ravens.
"We'll probably be going through the same thing next week," Allen said.
Allen is entrusting the running game to second-year player Taiwan Jones and fullback Marcel Reece.
There's also a possibility of rookie running back Jeremy Stewart being signed from the practice squad and added to the 53-man roster, Allen said.
Sunday will be Jones' first true chance to show what he can do in a regular-season game. Until now, he has been the No. 3 back for his first 11/2 NFL seasons.
Jones said he is fired up about the prospect of a starring role Sunday. Just the same, he is cognizant of not trying to do too much in McFadden's absence.
"I'm very aware that I'm not Darren McFadden," said Jones, a Deer Valley High graduate. "I just try to play my game. The coaches, they do a good job of putting me in positions and giving me plays for what I can bring to the table."
Jones rushed 16 times for 73 yards last season. He carried the ball for the first time this season last Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and netted 2 yards on his lone carry.
Reece isn't a true running back, but he is fast enough and big enough to hold his own if called upon.
"He has continued to work, he has continued to try to improve," Allen said. "Again, we feel like that he's the guy that gives us the best chance to be successful. So, he's going to continue staying in that role right now."
Regular right tackle Khalif Barnes hasn't had enough time to get into football shape yet, Allen said, after missing the past seven weeks with a groin injury.
Allen considered Barnes and rookie Tony Bergstrom for the starting spot Sunday before settling upon Smith for the seventh straight game. Smith has struggled of late, prompting Allen to take a long look at Barnes and Bergstrom.
Bryant will be playing one week after he was hospitalized for a fast, irregular heartbeat at halftime of Oakland's game against the Buccaneers.
"He's had absolutely no issues, at least any issues that I'm aware of or that our trainers are aware of," Allen said.
Veteran cornerback Ron Bartell likely will be activated Saturday, Allen said, and start Sunday. He will play right cornerback as often as he can handle in his return from a shoulder injury suffered in the opener.
Michael Huff will play opposite Bartell, with Matt Giordano remaining at Huff's regular free safety spot.
Cornerback Pat Lee did not accompany the team on Friday's flight to Baltimore but remains on the 53-man roster.
In fact, only eight of the 53 players from that 2008 game are still around — guard Cooper Carlisle, defensive tackle Tommy Kelly, punter Shane Lechler, kicker Sebastian Janikowski, McFadden, Huff, strong safety Tyvon Branch and long-snapper Jon Condo.
The Ravens have had almost as much turnover the past four seasons, with all but nine of the players from that game off the roster.

When we moved to our home in Concord, Ma., we vowed that we would get to know our neighbors... it was essential - we saw it as one of our only ways to meet people in our new town. We ended up meeting a great family across the street - Jenny and Mike. We both had white fluffy dogs and white Cape Cod style houses. They were so kind to us as the new folks in town and even invited us to their Thanksgiving dinner and Jenny introduced me to her group of girl friends (remember the Ladies Night Patio Party?).
Above : Nine Color Salad, recipe here
We made the move into our new home in our old neighborhood last fall and made the same vow - we want to know the people that we share this lovely street with. As a girl who grew up in the country whose nearest neighbors were no where near the 5 second walk like they are in Fairway, I was always enchanted by neighborhood life. When I was a little girl I loved spending the night with my Granny who lived in a great little neighborhood. There was a certain buzz in the mornings, afternoons and evenings when people were coming and going, saying their hellos and goodbyes that we just didn't have out in the country. In the country, you knew Mom or Dad was home when you heard the crunch of gravel - a sound I still love. (Side note, do you think they'd allow a granite pea gravel drive in Fairway? If it's good enough for East Hampton and Concord - not to mention Lexington...)
You might remember the Holiday Happy Hour we hosted for our street - it was amazing. Everyone that came said how glad they were to receive the invitation. Most were shocked by our audacity - how brave we were! And they loved it. Since then, we've been invited to other dinners and cocktail hours by our neighbors and Mr. Darcy and I have new walking buddies... at 6:15 am that I miss more than I make. I highly recommend extending an olive brand to your neighbors - it has been such a fulfilling experience for us. Interestingly enough, making warm and "neighborly" relationships with our neighbors has made our home feel much more "homey" than an piece of furniture or window treatment could ever do.
Most recently, we hosted our neighbors over for dinner last Thursday night. Since it was a Thursday night dinner, I had to make everything during the day while Emma was at school.
So, I selected my menu based on what would be easily made ahead of time. I landed on Lobster Macaroni and Cheese because it is something that everyone loves, seems a little special, but is not too fancy so to make it a stuffy night.
For dessert I decided to do a spin on one of Mike's favorite - Tiramisu Pound Cake. I made a Vanilla Pound Cake, cut it into layers, soaked each layer with a combination of coffee, vanilla and espresso liquor and filled it with a sweetened Mascarpone Cheese.

It's taken pretty much at face value that the U.S. economy — which grew all of 1.9% in 2013 — is running below potential.
But in a new report, Morgan Stanley economists led by Vincent Reinhart say they are not so sure.
They estimate potential GDP growth has slowed by 0.5 percentage point to 2%, and the natural rate of unemployment lies around 6%. "In the past few years, population growth has declined, labor force participation is on a secular downtrend, and productivity is increasing at a slower clip," the report said.
This would have key implications for the markets and for Federal Reserve policy in particular. With an unemployment rate of 6.7% in February, a 6% level for natural unemployment implies there really isn't much slack in the labor market.
That said, the slower growth rate of potential output suggests "a lower equilibrium short-term real interest rate." That rate might come down to 1.5%, so that nominal funds rate might gravitate toward 3.75%.

Suicide Prevention Program named to Best Practice Registry
The Shield of Care –– a juvenile-justice suicide-prevention gatekeeper program that was developed and copyrighted by the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (TDMHSAS) –– was recently accepted to the Suicide Prevention Resource Center's (SPRC's) Best Practice Registry (BPR), which is a collaborative effort with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
A BPR is a source of information about evidenced-based programs and expert consensus, and it contains content that meet stringent criteria. The Shield of Care's submission to the BPR included evaluation of the curriculum that demonstrated efficacy and utility as an instrument that increases knowledge and skills in order to intervene and save a life from suicide. The Shield of Care, a groundbreaking curriculum that is first of its kind nationally, has demonstrated its ability to produce positive outcomes related to suicide prevention in juvenile justice facilities. It will be used in all of the state's Youth Development Centers.
"Being on a BPR gives additional credence to this groundbreaking curriculum," said Lygia Williams, mental health planner with the TDMHSAS Division of Mental Health Services. "It is our intent to partner with Centerstone Research Institute (CRI) and complete requisite research in order to pursue the curriculum meeting evidence-based criteria."
Developed by the TDMHSAS in collaboration with the Tennessee Department of Children's Services (DCS), Mental Health America of Middle Tennessee (MHAMT), the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network (TSPN), Trevecca Nazarene University, The Jason Foundation, the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth, the Administrative Office of the Court (AOC), the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth (TCCY), CRI, and others –- and funded through the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial ACT grant awarded by SAMHSA — Shield of Care is an 8-hour, evidence-informed curriculum that teaches Juvenile Justice staff strategies to prevent suicide in their correctional facility environment.
The Shield of Care suicide prevention model (S-Plan) is unique because it is tailored to the Juvenile Justice environment and emphasizes a system-focused model of preventing suicide. Specifically, the Shield of Care model:
- Emphasizes that policy, connectedness to youth, and communication between staff are essential system-level elements of suicide prevention.
- Teaches staff specific steps of effective suicide intervention ("Seeing, Protecting, Listening, Assessing, Networking).
- Provides opportunities for staff to reflect on internal policies for suicide prevention, discuss strategies for overcoming potential barriers, and plan how to "take action" in their specific facility context.
According to the program's objectives, at the end of training, participants should have increased their knowledge of suicide prevention strategies, their self-efficacy to prevent suicide, and their suicide prevention skills. Also, it is expected that there will be increased connectedness among staff, suicide prevention communication, policy knowledge, and self-efficacy to work through facility-level barriers to suicide prevention systemwide.
The Shield of Care training packet, including program manual, PowerPoint slides, and videos, is available online without charge at http://tn.gov/mental/recovery/shieldcare.shtml.
For more information about this program, contact Lygia Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (615) 253-5078. For more information about Centerstone Research Institute, contact Trenay L. Bynum, M.S.P., research communications manager, at firstname.lastname@example.com or call (615) 460-4175.

Home Loan Enterprise "A Smarter Way to Borrow"
We've been in business for about 7 years doing mortgage loan originations. Based out of San Diego, we are currently lending only in California from San Diego all the way to San Francisco. We've been through the rough times in the mortgage industry and we're still here due to the fact that we provide tremendous value to our clients. These are the key features that separate us from our competitors:
1. Price: we set our profit margins low, keeping our rates and fees extremely competitive.
2. Efficiency: our processes are very efficient so that we can lower costs and overhead, therefore we pass these savings on to our clients.
3. Advice: It is our goal to give our clients the best advice. Many clients continue to do business with us because we provide personal service, looking out for their best interest and providing them with the best information that will help them make a decision on their mortgage options.
4. Our technology: Our new website will offer the best mortgage advice ever given on the internet. We accomplish this by designing very complex algorithms that will provide users with recommendations on what the best loan program is in their specific situation. What sets us apart from other mortgage websites is that this technology will provide them with instant mortgage quotes around the clock and will be free.
Our target audience is male or female ages 35-70, all working with a household income of 60-180k per year. There are 3 different target audiences:
1. New Homebuyer looking for a mortgage (Recently married ages, 28-35 yrs old)
2. Current Homeowner looking to refinance (married with 1-2 kids, 30-45 yrs old)
3. Usually older more savvy investor with multiple properties needing to finance many real estate properties. (done having kids, smart investor, age 45+)
When working with a financial service company, our target audiences want to do business with a company that is professional and trustworthy.
We need a logo primarily for our website at http://www.hlemortgage.com. The logo needs to stand out so consider adding shadow, gradient and lighting effects. Show depth and feel free to show your artful talents.
The website design and colors will be changed later so you don't have to duplicate the existing colors on the website. Be creative by using any colors you want. The logo will also be used on stationery and marketing materials. Therefore, elements of the logo can be altered later (i.e. remove shadow) for printed materials.
The logo should convey 3 key ideas to the borrower/customer:
1. TRUST: This is the most important idea that should resonate with the audience when they see the logo. This means making the logo clean and professional.
2. INNOVATIVE We are an innovative company like no other mortgage company; therefore we need to look innovative, stand out and not look and sound like any other mortgage companies. Our technology sets us apart from the competitors.
3. High Tech, we are almost like a high tech internet company, kind of like mint.com
This is what we DO NOT WANT:
1. The look of an established old school bank (non-innovative)
2. The same look of our competitors: ditech.com, lendingtree.com, amerisave.com, aimloan.com, quickenloans.com. They sell on the idea of having the lowest costs, which is not always true.
3. u can use house images but be creative, we are not looking for this

HUNTINGTON BEACH — Three down, two to go for Courtney Conlogue.
The 20-year-old Sage Hill School alumna took the next step forward in her title quest Saturday at the Vans U.S. Open of Surfing by winning her Women's quarterfinal heat. Conlogue led the entire way in turning away Laura Enever of Australia, a win that sends the Santa Ana resident on to Sunday's semifinals.
"I'm thrilled," Conlogue said moments after she completed her third heat victory in three attempts, this one putting her into the semifinal round for the first time since she won the Open Women's title in 2009.
"It feels fantastic to be back in the semifinals for the first time in four years," she said. "I'm glad to get this heat out of the way."
Conlogue is part of a Final Four field that includes Tyler Wright (Australia), Carissa Moore (Hawaii) and Pauline Ado (France).
Conlogue, ranked fourth in the Assn. of Surfing Professionals World Women's Title rankings, will face off against Wright who is ranked No. 1. The two will surf the first Women's semifinal heat Sunday morning, starting at 10. Moore will battle Ado in the second semifinal.
The semifinal winners will square off for the Women's title Sunday afternoon.
The winner of the Women's title earns $15,000.
Conlogue had Saturday's heat go her way as she once again took charge right off the bat. She won it with a best two-wave score of 12.63. Enever scored a 9.66.
Conlogue was active in an otherwise slow heat.
"I got off to a quick start again but had medium scores to show for it," she said. "I was able to maintain the lead but when Laura hit that one score (6.83), I was like, 'Uh-oh.'"
Quick starts have been Conlogue's ticket to the semifinals.
In her first heat of the competition Tuesday, a heat that included Enever who placed third and second-place Rebecca Woods (Australia), Conlogue led from start to finish. In her second heat Thursday, she never trailed against Silvana Lima (Brazil) or five-time World Champion Stephanie Gilmore (Australia).
Enever was in her fifth heat of the competition Saturday and has surfed heats daily since Tuesday. She reached the quarterfinals by eliminating Gilmore in a Friday Round 4 heat.
Within the first 30 seconds of the quarterfinal heat, Conlogue was up and riding. She earned a first-wave score of 4.33 to open up a lead then took her second wave toward the pier and through the pylons — a move she also made during Tuesday's heat victory, to the north side. It earned her a score of 6.33.
Enever, ranked ninth in the World, sat back for the first 7 1/2 minutes of the heat but on her first wave, was awarded a score of 6.83.
It would be the top wave score of the heat.
"That caught my attention, for sure," Conlogue said. "But I just kept going and continued at my pace. There was plenty of time left on the clock."
Conlogue was scored on seven waves. On the same wave that Enever, who was scored on just three waves, hit her 6.83, Conlogue scored a 5.83. She later posted scores of 5.40 and 6.30, the last score coming just before the heat clock expired.
Enever's other top wave score was a 2.83 and it came with 5:10 remaining.
In the other Women's quarterfinal heats Saturday, Wright defeated rookie Bianca Buitendag (South Africa), Moore turned back fellow Hawaiian Coco Ho, and Ado got past Sally Fitzgibbons (Australia).
"I'm excited for Sunday," Conlogue said as she signed autographs. "It's going to be great."
Prior to the Women's quarterfinals, the Men's Prime Round of 16 wrapped with winners advancing to Sunday's quarterfinals which start at 8 a.m.
Sunday's first quarterfinal heat pits Adriano De Souza (Brazil) against Kolohe Andino (USA). The second heat is between Bede Durbidge (South Africa)-Michel Bourez (Tahiti), the third is Jordy Smith (South Africa)-Matt Banting (Australia), and the fourth is Nat Young (USA)-Alejo Muniz (Brazil).
The Men's Prime semifinals also are Sunday morning and the final follows the Women's final in the afternoon. The Men's Prime winner receives $100,000.
Also Saturday, titles were won in the Pro Junior Women's and Pro Junior Men's divisions.
Bianca Buitendag, 19, brushed off her Women's quarterfinal loss against Wright earlier in the day and came back in the afternoon to claim the Women's Jr. Pro title and $1,800. Conner Coffin, 20, of Santa Barbara, won the Men's Jr. Pro crown and top prize of $4,500.
Coffin captured the U.S. Open Men's Jr. Pro title for the second straight year.

On Our Radar: How to Become Retirement-Ready
Gender dynamics are often at play in the ways managers and their employees relate to each other. As this post from the Harvard Business Review makes clear, the dynamic between female leaders and female direct reports can be especially complex. One reason: Women expect their female managers to have both traditional leadership skills and also conventionally feminine traits like empathy and sensitivity. — Lauren Weber
Job? Check. New suit? Check. Financial plan? Not so much. It takes more than auto-enrollment in your company's 401(k) to become retirement-ready, and Brazen Life offers up 14 must-read personal finance blogs for young professionals. –-Melissa Korn
Employers are still uncertain how to control staffers' social media activity, but that's not stopping them from trying to lay down the law. The New York Times says some companies may be overstepping, and regulators are rethinking how much control employers really can have over their employees' web presence. —Melissa Korn
NPR looks at a dilemma striking many businesses right now: how to handle large numbers of workers out with the flu. — Rachel Emma Silverman

You might have seen slot machines and fruit machines in the local snack bar or pub, or know them from the movies set in Las Vegas and Atlantic City (where slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits). Normally slot machines have a number of reels with symbols depicted on them such as cherries, the number 7, or the word "BAR". Fruit machines are another type of slot machine with only fruit depicted on the reels. In an ordinary slot machine you can insert coins for points or credits which allow you to play. Pull the lever or press the buttons to make the reels spin and stop. You win if you manage to get three identical symbols to line up next to one another along the payline. All slot machines and fruit machines feature a payout overview where you can see how much you win for every different row of three identical symbols lined up. Some machines also have a doubling bonus, in which case you will see a coin and must click at the right moment to get heads or tails.
These days players can choose from a wide offer of slot machines and fruit machines. With this broad variety of available games you can choose to play for free or you can deposit money by credit card, but we advise taking part in these games with free playmoney. Online slot machines are extremely popular because they often provide far more extensive games than offline slot machines do. Many online slot machines feature extensive options for multiple paylines so that you can choose on how many lines to play. This way, even if your symbols form a diagonal rather than a line, you still win points! The sound quality and special effects are also a lot better in online slot machines than for many of the offline ones. Moreover, the top games in online slotmachines are often far more expansive and may be linked to a progressive jackpot!
When you do choose to play with real money it's improtant to know you are doing so via trustworthy game providers. At games.co.za we only place slot machines in our overviews from providers who are 100% worthy of your trust. Should a problem arise with a games provider despite of the precautions we have taken, please check the FAQ or help pages of the game providers where you will often find instructions on how you can still access and use your credits. If the problem persists, please contact us. We wish you the best of luck and lots of gaming fun!
We like these games:Jackpot Giant Casino, Genie's Gems, Chinatown, Slotplaza Cash Casino, Top Shot, Club 3000, Big Top, Cops n Robbers, Inca Gold, Supertron

Lox with Dilled Mayo Canapes - Easy
The Kosher Linkup Challenge this month is to make anything in mini-size. My canape contribution happens to start and end as a miniature. But if anyone says that makes 'em a cheat, simply think of them as mini version of lox and bagels, hold the bagels.
The base of the canapes is (are?) slices of English cucumber. English cukes are not coated in wax; to extend their shelf life they are wrapped in plastic. This no peeling makes them very appealing, not only saving you the precious 30 seconds per cuke but almost guaranteeing perfect pleasing circles to build upon with whatever. Leftovers, if any, can simply get tossed in a salad.
Regular lox is very salty; cut the lox in very narrow widths to cut the salt. If you use nova, be more generous in each serving.
You can make these canapes up to one half hour before serving, but that's just to prevent the mayo from spreading over the cuke rounds (like you might have noticed in the photo above ... that's what I get for spending way too much time setting up the shot). The spread doesn't affect the taste, just how the presentation. They really look a lot cuter with the lox cradled in a cushiony pillow, rather than the fitted sheet you see here.
Lox with Dilled Mayo Canapes - Easy
May be made up to 1/2 hour ahead for best presentation
Yield: 2-3 dozen, depending upon how thinly you cut the lox
1 English cucumber
1 (4 oz.) package lox, regular or nova
1/2 cup Israeli Dill Sauce, made from scratch or store-bought mayo, chilled overnight
fresh dill fronds, 1/2 to 1 inch in length, for garnish
Unwrap English cucumber, but don't peel. Slice into 1/4-inch rounds.
Cut lox into pieces 1/4 to 1/2 inch in width and 1 inch or so in length.
Place a quarter-teaspoon of dilled mayonnaise on each cucumber slice. Top with a lox piece, curling the ends under, if necessary to fit, and a dill frond.
If not serving immediately, place in fridge until ready to serve.

Having trouble closing the closet door because it's bulging with clothes? Still got nothing to wear since it's all a big mess? Take charge of your wardrobe once and for all – this is what you need to do.
First things first – clean the area around your wardrobe. Things will get messy, there will be clothes everywhere in a three-meter radius.
Bring out a trash bag and three boxes. Mark them "KEEP", "DON'T KEEP" and "MAYBE".
Start digging out the wardrobe, piece by piece, asking yourself the following questions.
Q: Have you used it in six months? *
Q: Is it ripped, stained or too worn? Don't keep!
Q: Does it fit? No? No, as in "no, don't keep it" then.
Q: Do you need a tailor to alter it? Or are you thinking of customising it? That rarely happens, so into the MAYBE-box it goes.
Q: Can you use it in three different outfits, which you love? If no, MAYBE-box it!
Q: Do you have too many of it? (You know, no one NEEDS 15 black t-shirts.) Keep 2-3 of the newest, the rest goes to the DON'T KEEP-box.
Q: You want to keep it "just in case"? Don't.
If the item gets this far, put it in the KEEP-box.
Repeat until you've gone through the entire wardrobe. Yes, that includes underwear and accessories.
Try and draw conclusions from the boxes. Mostly blue in the KEEP-box? Then that's probably your go-to colour. Lots of sequins in the DON'T KEEP-box? Ok, now you know.
Give yourself a veto-item, something from the maybe-pile that you really want to keep no matter what. One (1) item that is.
Get rid of the stuff in the DON'T KEEP-box. But don't let fashion go to waste. Perhaps you can sell some of the more exclusive stuff? Or donate to your local charity (or your younger sibling). And take all the rest to H&M, where the garment collection program ensures that everything is reworn, reused or recycled. Put the MAYBE-box under your bed. Do it now, before you start second guessing yourself. This is trial separation.
Live your life for two months.
After two months, anything you haven't used from the MAYBE-box has got to go as well.
If you have more than half of your stuff left – repeat. Seriously, repeat.
Sort what's left in your wardrobe, according to colour, type and usage.
Hang as much as possible. Do you have room for an extra clothes rack?
It's not a wardrobe – it's a showroom! See it as a store displaying your clothes, not as a storage place.
Keep a lint roller in there somewhere. You want it close.
Anytime you need a specific item, write it down. The third time you do, it's OK to buy it.
When buying something new – go by the one-in-one-out principle.
Did you get this far? Really? Then maybe you deserve to buy something really nice…

St. Louis Catholic School has filed a $2.4 million building permit application for a multipurpose building on its campus at 5192 Shady Grove Road.
The permit application filed with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement lists the building as including administrative offices, a multiuse room, snack bar and recreation-type facility. Philadelphia, Miss.-based W.G. Yates & Sons Construction Co., which has an office on Poplar Avenue, is listed as general contractor.
Started by the Dominican sisters in 1957, the Catholic school is on the northwest corner of Shady Grove and South White Station Road, adjacent to St. Louis Catholic Church. In March 2012, the school broke ground on a junior high wing that added eight classrooms, a science lab, music room and other amenities.
St. Louis currently has more than 500 students in preschool through eighth grade, according to the school's website.

Memphis Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger was named the Western Conference Coach of the Month for January.
Joerger guided Memphis to an NBA-best 12-3 record (.800) during the month of January, as the Grizzlies won five consecutive games and nine of their last 10 to close out the month. Memphis tied its franchise record for January wins and finished just one victory shy of the franchise record for wins in any month (13 in March 2004 and April 2012).
The Grizzlies also won six consecutive road games from Jan. 5-31, the second-longest road winning streak in franchise history. The Grizzlies held all six opponents to 90 points or fewer, including allowing just 77 points on the road against the Milwaukee Bucks on Jan. 15 in the second game of a back-to-back.
Memphis emerged as one of the stingier defenses in the month of January, holding opponents to 91.5 points per game on just .431 shooting from the field and .311 shooting from behind the arc. After the return of center Marc Gasol from injury on Jan. 14, Memphis held opponents to a league-low 86.3 points per game.

A delay in federal income tax filing season and lower-than-expected sales tax collections gave Arkansas a mixed bag last month, with revenue coming in below last year's figures but slightly above expectations, state finance officials said Tuesday.
The Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration said the state's net available revenue in January totaled $483.6 million, which was $32.5 million above January 2013's figure and $7.4 million above forecast. The state's net available revenue for the fiscal year that began July 1 is $2.9 billion, which is $39.6 million above forecast.
One major impact on the revenue report was a lower-than-expected amount of individual income tax refunds paid out by the state because of a delayed start of the federal income tax filing period after last year's 16-day federal government shutdown. The refunds totaled $16.3 million, which was $6 million above last year but $13.7 million below forecast. Weiss said he expected the refunds to catch up with projections later this year.
The state also saw sales tax collections, which totaled $178.6 million, come in lower than expected.

British medical technology company Smith & Nephew plans to buy U.S. medical device maker ArthroCare in a $1.5 billion deal that it says will strengthen its sports medicine business.
Smith & Nephew said Monday it will pay $48.25 in cash for each share of ArthroCare Corp., which is based in Austin, Texas.
Smith & Nephew PLC said ArthroCare's expertise in shoulder joint repair will complement its strength in knee repair.
ArthroCare has 35.4 million shares outstanding, counting options and restricted stock, according to Smith & Nephew spokesman Charles Reynolds. Smith & Nephew values the deal at $1.7 billion counting ArthroCare's cash. It expects the acquisition to close by the middle of the year.
ArthroCare makes surgical devices, instruments and implants and employs about 1,800 people. The company announced on Jan. 7 that it will pay a $30 million fine to resolve an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into alleged securities fraud by its former management.
The Justice Department also is charging the company with one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and wire fraud, but it has entered into a two-year deferred prosecution agreement with ArthroCare. If the company meets requirements set by the Justice Department, it won't bring charges against the company.
ArthroCare has said that deal will end the Justice Department's investigation, which was first made public in December 2008.
An executive of Target Corp. said Tuesday the retailer has taken actions to shore up security following the massive breach of millions of consumers' data during the holiday season.
The testimony at a Senate hearing by John Mulligan, executive vice president and chief financial officer at the No. 2 U.S. discounter, also revealed that Target discovered an additional 25 cash registers infected by malicious software on Dec. 18. The company had said earlier that it had removed all the malware from its system by Dec. 15.
Mulligan's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee was the first public appearance by a Target executive addressing the issue since the breach that occurred between Nov. 27 and mid-December. An estimated 40 million credit and debit card accounts were affected.
Mulligan said Target is "deeply sorry" for the effect of the data theft on consumers, and he acknowledged that their confidence in the Minneapolis-based company has been shaken.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., the panel's chairman, said the erosion of consumers' confidence — with data breaches on the rise affecting retailers, Internet companies and others — could hinder the U.S. economy's recovery.

Content Creators: Control Is An Illusion And That's A Good Thing
from the great-quote deptFolks who hang out on HackerNews may have seen an interesting little debate flare up recently in a couple of threads. It started when a guy named Dustin Curtis announced a new simple blogging tool which he called Svbtle. He originally designed it for himself, then decided to make it into a wider offering, but is only letting "vetted" bloggers use it, rather than opening it up. This rubbed some folks the wrong way, and another guy, Nate Weinert, decided to build his own open source version that looks similar and has the same basic functionality, and released it to the world under the name Obtvse.
Then the debate raged in the two HN threads over the basic ethics of the decisions by both individuals -- Dustin for locking up his system and Nathan for copying Dustin's idea. It won't surprise many where I come down on this. History has shown that copying often leads to useful innovation and can help expand a market. I find arguments to the contrary somewhat frustrating, because they seem to argue that there's some sort of moral right in an idea -- something that just doesn't make that much sense to me. If others can do more with your idea, why should we stop them? Now, some argue that Nate didn't do more with the idea, but I disagree. He made it open and usable -- by definition doing more with it. Furthermore, in doing that, he made it much easier for others to build on it as well.
But, really, the reason I'm writing this post is a fascinating must-read comment by a guy named Frank Chimero, responding to a blog post by Daniel Howells about this whole back and forth. The comment is a really excellent and succinct explanation of how creativity works and the fact that once you've created something and released it to the world, you've lost control over it -- and pining over that lost control is a fool's errand:
I think once you publish something, you lose control of it. At worst, you inspire mockery and parody. At best, you become material for future work, because what you've made is successful, interesting, or relevant. Usually, it is both.So many excellent points in such a short comment. In fact, economic studies have actually shown, in fairly great detail, that it's exactly these kinds of "spillovers" that lead to economic growth (in fact, they were regularly called spillovers, until the economic language finally clarified a bit further). The fact that you can build on ideas is a natural resource that only expands. It's not limited by scarcity, like many natural resources. It's the nature of an idea to be infinitely copyable at no cost that acts as a resource multiplier that leads to economic growth. That's what's so powerful about it.
All work produces spill-over repercussions that usually go against the will of the work's creator. The creator wishes to retain authorship and control the work, while those in the culture wish to use, transform, and remix it. If the work is truly successful, it will defy authorship and turn into a shared experience for everyone. Those works are the hardest to control, because they diffuse, and spread wide by permeating into the air. The become a shorthand for those who make or enjoy similar work, becoming a shared vocabulary.
The situation requires things from both those who create the work, and those who wish to use it.
For the initial creator, they must resign most control upon publication, especially on the internet. Their work will be used to say and do things they don't intend. Ideas, in truth, go further when others carry them, and this usually means they will go in directions the original author did not intend or imagine. For instance, I've had a quote of mine ("People ignore design that ignores people.") taken out of context and used to justify two completely contradictory design methods. So it goes.
For those that use the things made by others, they should credit where possible, and have their work be transformative in some way. They can carry the ideas of others, but they must to take it further or a new direction. Then, they are obliged share alike. To not do both is to go against the goodwill initiated by the work's creator.
And for both, we should recognize that all creative processes use materials from those who came before us, and respect the meaningful influence of others. We're part of a long line of people who make things. It is a privilege to get to use the work of others in our own.
It's natural that the originator may get upset about how some of this works out, but contrary to the claims of some, if someone does something with your work, it doesn't do anything to the original. It just expands the overall market. You lose control, but that's not bad. The things that you did are based on the fact that others lost control of things as well.
Oh, and for a bit of irony, I only found this quote because Dustin Curtis highlighted it on his own (Svbtle) blog. Yes, the guy who had his work copied chose to highlight this particular comment... and add "great artists steal" to the end. Seems that he recognizes how all this works and perhaps isn't too upset about how things went down.

Can I freeze zucchini w/o cooking?
Yes. Simply wash, remove the stalk, slice or shred, and freeze. You might consider freezing the amount you expect to use in the recipe in separate bags or containers, so that you will be able to thaw only the amount you want to use. You can find good zucchini recipes here.

Birth control (also called contraception) can help you prevent pregnancy when you don't want to have a baby. Male and female condoms can also help protect you and your sex partner from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
There isn't one method of birth control that's right for everyone. Each type of birth control has pros and cons.
Here are some things to think about when choosing a birth control method:
It depends on the type of birth control you use. Different methods of birth control work in different ways.
An IUD is a small, T-shaped piece of plastic with copper or hormones. It's put inside a woman's uterus by a doctor or nurse.
Pullover LOFT Ann Taylor Sweater Boutique There are 2 kinds:
An IUD is very effective at preventing pregnancy. You don't feel the IUD when it's in place – and there's nothing to do or remember.
If you have an IUD and you want to get pregnant, a doctor or nurse can easily remove it. Read more about IUDs.
These methods work by preventing a woman's ovaries from releasing an egg each month. They also cause other changes that make it more unlikely that a woman will get pregnant.
Some hormonal methods work better than others, and some require more effort to use. For example, birth control pills have to be taken every day, but an implant lasts for up to 3 years once it's in place.
Hormonal methods include:
If you are interested in a hormonal method of birth control, talk with your doctor about which kind is best for you. Read more about hormonal birth control options.
Barrier methods work by preventing the sperm and egg from touching each other. Common barrier methods include:
Male latex (rubber) condoms are also very effective at preventing HIV and reducing the risk of other STDs when used correctly every time you have sex. Female condoms may also help prevent HIV and other STDs. Read more about barrier methods.
NFP works by learning which days a woman is more likely to get pregnant. People who want to prevent pregnancy don't have sex on these days or they use another method of birth control.
NFP is only an option for women who have regular periods. It's important to know that NFP is not typically as effective at preventing pregnancies as some other forms of birth control, like IUDs or hormonal methods.
Couples can also use NFP when they are trying to get pregnant. Reef Coco Boutique Boutique Swimsuit Top Coco PTpFpw.
Sometimes people forget to use birth control (for example, they miss a pill or shot) or their birth control fails (like if the condom breaks).
There are 2 options for emergency contraception:
Taking ECPs won't stop or harm a pregnancy if you are already pregnant. Read more about emergency contraception pills.
Sterilization is a permanent method of birth control. This is an option for people who are 100% sure they don't want any more children.
Abstinence (not having vaginal, anal, or oral sex) is the only sure way to prevent STDs.
If you are sexually active, using a latex male condom correctly every time you have sex is a very effective way to prevent many STDs, including HIV. Female condoms may also lower the risk of some STDs.
Barrier methods used inside the vagina, like the female condom and diaphragm, can also lower the risk of some STDs.
Non-barrier methods (like birth control pills, IUDs, and other hormonal methods) don't prevent STDs. If you choose one of these types of birth control, keep in mind that it won't protect you from HIV and other STDs – so you may also want to use condoms for protection.
It depends on which birth control method you choose. You can buy some birth control over the counter. Over the counter means you can buy it at a store without a prescription. For other methods, you will need to see a doctor or nurse.
Check out these resources to learn more about the different types of birth control:
Follow these steps to choose the right birth control for you.
Ask about the types of birth control that are available to you. There are lots of different factors that can affect your choice, including:
The Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010, requires most insurance plans to cover birth control that's prescribed by a woman's doctor. They also must cover patient education and counseling about birth control for women.
Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get these services at no cost to you. Talk to your insurance company to learn more. For information about other services for women covered by the Affordable Care Act, visit HealthCare.gov.
If you don't have insurance that covers birth control, you may be able to get free or low-cost birth control through a family planning clinic or community health center.
Family planning clinics provide education, counseling, and medical services (including birth control). No one is turned away for not being able to pay. To get services near you, find a local health center.
Some types of birth control are used by men, and some types are used by women. It's a good idea to have a conversation with your partner to make sure that both of you are comfortable with the birth control method you choose.

Be sure you understand what you need to do to protect yourself from an unplanned pregnancy or an STD. If you have questions, talk to a doctor or pharmacist.
Get tips on how to use a condom correctly.
It's important to know what to do if you forget to use birth control or if your birth control method fails. For example, you may want to buy emergency contraception pills (ECPs) in advance. That way, you'll have them if you need them.
Most people who have an STD (like chlamydia or gonorrhea) don't have any symptoms. Getting tested is the only way to know for sure you have one.
Have an honest conversation with your doctor about your sexual activity and ask if you need to be tested for STDs.

As with other STDs, getting tested for HIV is the only way you know if you have the disease.
You can get tested at a doctor's office or health center. To find an HIV testing center:

Author Notes: This is an adaptation of a Nigerian peanut marinade, which is commonly spread over meat, skewered and then cooked over hot coals/firewood. We call it suya and it is popular streetfood - the kind of thing Nigerians in diaspora miss when they're away from home! - Kitchen Butterfly —Kitchen Butterfly
Food52 Review: Swordfish's meaty taste and texture take to grilling beautifully. Kitchen Butterfly's peanut marinade enhances the partnership, cloaking each strip of fish in a spicy, tangy, mildly sweet sauce that caramelizes gently on the grill, lending a mild smokiness. Using homemade peanut butter is a nice touch, and a spritz of fresh lime juice before eating is a must. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 2-4
Suya Swordfish
400g swordfish steak, cut into 8 long thick strips
Portion of peanut butter, recipe below
1 teaspoon chili pepper
1teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 -2 tablespoons lime juice
Thinly sliced red onions, tomatoes, lime halves and coriander leaves, to serve
Peanut Butter
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, skinned
1/4 – 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Pinch of salt
Suya Swordfish
- Make the peanut paste by combining peanut butter, paprika, chili pepper, salt, ground ginger and lime juice.
- Stir well and taste. Adjust spices as necessary
- Place fish strips in a large bowl and pour peanut sauce over it, then using your hands, mix well ensuring the pieces are coated with the sauce.
- Leave to marinate for a few hours or overnight.
- When ready to cook, prepare the bbq and let the coals heat up till fiery red.
- Then pass (soaked wooden) skewers through each piece of swordfish, and place on an oiled rack. Let cook for 5-6 minutes on one side, then flip over and let the other side cook for 2-3 minutes. If not ready, remove to part of grill where heat is indirect and let cook till ready.
- Serve with thinly sliced red onions, sliced cherry tomatoes, lime halves and coriander leaves
Peanut Butter
- In a blender or food processor, grind the peanuts till they are crushed. The ground nuts will stick to the sides of the mixing container, so using a spatula, loosen bits from the bottom and round the sides.
- Then add oil, drizzling in along with a pinch of salt, blending till you get a 'thick cream' consistency.
- Use as directed above.

This straw colored wine keeps changing in the glass - one minute I get wet stones after a spring rain, the next minute, it's tangerine, then grapefruit, or is that wet wool? Everytime I put my nose in the glass, I get a different scent.
On the palate, tart green apple mixed with some grapefruit juice and a touch of ginger. The wine is just shy of medium weight in the mouth.
It's very crisp and tart with a long, clean finish.
I've not had too many trockens, so this is a rather new experience for me. I liked the wine quite a bit, especially when I paired it with a roast chicken. But a glass the next day was good, all by itself.

Resume: The concept of 'distance' has been used by international business scholars to explain variations in international business strategies and operations across countries. The more distant a host country is from the organizational centre of a multinational enterprise (MNE), the more it has to manage cultural, regulatory and cognitive differences, and to develop appropriate entry strategies, organizational forms, and internal procedures to accommodate these differences. Scholarly research has focused on the concept of psychic distance, which has been narrowed down in empirical work to indices based on Hofstede's work on culture. However, these measures capture only very partially the dimensions of distance of concern to international business. In this paper, we show how the broader theoretical concept of institutional distance, which incorporates normative, regulatory and cognitive aspects, affects entry strategies. Specifically, our theoretical arguments suggest that the impact of distance varies with different aspects of the concept of institutional distance, and that this impact interacts with both the investor's experience and with the relative importance of the pertinent operation for the investing MNE. Using a unique dataset of foreign direct investment in emerging economies that incorporates multi-host as well as multi-home countries, we find empirical support for our propositions, and provide an explanation for apparently inconsistent results in the previous literature.

What Kind of Doctor Examines Breasts?
I`m a 22 yr old girl. Since 3 years I`ve been noticing that my right breast is larger than the other. I also have a lump in my right breast that pains when it is touched. By doing some meditation called Reiki I feel the size of the lump has reduced. Can the lump be the reason for unequal breasts? Please tell me some exercises to equalize both my breasts. I`m very worried. My right breast is a size D. The right breast goes on increaseing, but the left seems stagnant. There is almost 2 inches in difference. What kind of doctor should I see about this?
First of all, congratulations of being very aware of your body and taking active steps to keep yourself well. It is not uncommon for a woman to have unequal size breasts and to have one breast that is a cup size larger than the other. The actual amount of breast tissue is about the same for all women regardless of the size of the breast- it has to do with the number and size of fat cells that are in the breast that determines the actual size. Some have more than others. However, if there is a lump in your breast that is large enough to influence the size of your breast, this is concerning.
You need to have a provider do a professional examination and decide if there is the need to do tests to determine the nature of the breast mass. One of the reasons that I am so enthusiastic about complimentary techniques is that any one technique can support the use of others, and that a combination of approaches is often more effective than just one. So, while I would support the continuation of your meditation, it is also very important for you to use the expertise of the other health professionals to assure that you are getting the optimal treatment you deserve. Hope this helps. All the best.

Facilities and Equipment Handbook (PDF)
Admission ContactKevin Smith55 West 13th Street, 6th floorNew York, NY 10011212.229.5150 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The School of Jazz at The New School is located on the fifth and sixth floors of 55 West 13th Street. The school's 20,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility was designed to help young artists realize their goal of becoming successful music professionals. The facility houses the Performance Space (seating 120), classrooms, offices, university computer labs, and the Student Activities Center. A recording studio is available for recording and engineering. Both studios are connected to the university's server and Internet sites, allowing for posted archival recordings and live streaming performance. Additional university performance facilities within a two-block radius of the Greenwich Village campus include a 170-seat performance auditorium and an excellent acoustically balanced concert hall with an audience capacity of 500.
The Facilities and Equipment Office (FEO) loans a variety of equipment owned by the School of Jazz to current Jazz students free of charge. Examples of what the FEO has to offer include a fully restored Hammond B3 Organ, Triton-76 keyboards, Moogs, Fender Rhodes, Brazilian percussion, bass and guitar amps, Yamaha custom drum kits, snare drums, Afro-Cuban instruments, and acoustic basses.
Students are responsible for bringing some equipment and materials to their classes, rehearsals, and private practice time. The FEO does not supply
Monday through Thursday: 7:30 a.m.-12:00 midnight
Friday: 7:30 a.m.-11:00 p.m.
Saturday: 9:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.
Sunday: 10:00 a.m.-12:00 midnight
Monday through Thursday: 9:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
Friday: 9:30 a.m.-10:30 p.m.
Saturday: 10:00 a.m.-7:30 p.m.
Sunday: 12:00 noon-11:30 p.m.
Mailboxes are provided for Jazz and Contemporary Music students on the 5th floor of the 55 West 13th Street building. This is where students can find any and all important intra-departmental communications. It is the student's responsibility to check their box regularly.
Limited locker space is available to all students on a first-come, first-served basis. Once assigned a locker, the student will be responsible for supplying their own personal lock.
While the atmosphere in the Jazz and Contemporary Music program is a warm and nourishing one, it is also not without some evidence of human frailty. Specifically, on rare occasions there have been thefts of music, instruments, or personal belongings left unattended in practice rooms. While leaving the room a student is practicing in for a brief minute is common practice in our community it is not without a small risk. Should you choose to leave your belongings unattended in a room, you also choose the risk of losing them.
The bulletin boards on the fifth and sixth floors of the 55 West 13th Street building are for announcements of a general nature. There are additional bulletin boards in the computer labs on the third and fourth floors of the same building.
Every semester Jazz and Contemporary Music students receive a Practice Time Sheet, which they fill out and turn into the FEO. The Practice Time Sheets are to be handed in on a scheduled date, after which the FEO constructs a practice schedule for the semester and gives each student a practice schedule. Each student receives 10 hours of scheduled practice time; more time is allotted on a first-come, first-served basis.
Practice rooms are equipped with what a student needs to grow and develop in their discipline. They are primarily works areas, each used by many different people. These rooms are neither private storage areas nor private living quarters! Please be thoughtful of fellow students and of the equipment (especially pianos) when using our practice rooms.
The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music is very grateful for its fine pianos, Fender Rhodes, and B3 Organs. We feel that everyone in our community should be responsible for the care and maintenance of these instruments.
As a Jazz and Contemporary Music student, you can help in both the tuning and maintenance of instruments by doing the following:
Pianos and keyboards are regularly tuned. Major maintenance, fine voicing, and regulation are done on a weekly basis.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich knows what Republicans in the state Assembly are feeling right now, staring at the prospect of a session where Democrats have a two-thirds majority.
Antonovich was Assembly Republican whip during the 1977-78 session, the last time the Democrats held a supermajority in the lower house. He said Republican members face a challenge in such circumstances in getting their voices heard.
"I'd encourage them to work harder and smarter," Antonovich said. "The Democrats' tax and spend agenda continues to send jobs out of the state, and the Republicans need to provide constructive alternatives on how you can bring jobs back to California and grow the economy.'"

Cool Site Unfortunately Miscategorizes Threats
Anyone who's been reading my blog for a while knows of my linguistic crusade involving words in the standard risk equation, with risk being a product of threat, vulnerability, and asset value. (See Risk, Threat, and Vulnerability 101, OCTAVE Properly Distinguishes Between Threats and Vulnerabilities, SANS Confuses Threats with Vulnerabilities, and The Dynamic Duo Discuss Digital Risk.)
How does the Threats and Countermeasures site match proper definitions? At left is a screen shot of the site's main knowledge base menu. I don't see the word threat being used correctly here. "Default network appliance passwords" aren't threats; those are vulnerabilities. "Running unnecessary services" is a vulnerability, as is "weak security around scripting extensions."
Perusing T&C, I don't see threat used properly. Most of the content described as "threats" are really attacks. The Cross Site Scripting page is a good example. All of the content listed under "Threats" are attacks or exploits. The content under "Attacks" appear to be specific examples of the material listed under "Threats".
So what is going on here? Obviously the guys who put together Threats and Countermeasures are security experts. Besides their knowledge base, the site offers and impressive collection of blogs that I recommend reading.
I think part of the problem is the warped view of threats promulgated by T&C owner Foundstone. It all began with the announcement of their so-called Threat Correlation Module for the Foundstone "Enterprise Risk Solution" suite. Back in late 2003 when this announcement was made (and I was working for Foundstone), marketing folks realized the terms "vulnerability" and "vulnerability management" were no longer a way to differentiate a company in the market. Vulnerability management was becoming commoditized, so companies began pushing the terms "risk" (e.g., "Enterprise Risk Solution") and "threat."
I was initially interested in being part of Foundstone's new Threat Intelligence team, supporting the Threat Correlation Module. I thought this would be a cool opportunity to deploy honeynets, interact with the "underground," and collect intelligence on the parties that conduct attacks. Instead I was told I would monitor disclosure sites -- BugTraq and the like -- and populate Foundstone's database with that information. At one point I was told that a "hole in OpenSSH" is a "threat," when clearly that is a vulnerability. Shortly after I realized Foundstone's view of "threat" was a new way to market vulnerability data, I left the company.
This is not to say that Foundstone's product is bad. On the contrary, I think it is very powerful. The idea of correlating new vulnerability information against a database of enterprise assets, and measuring the risk to an organization, is excellent. It's just too bad the product and concept are misnamed.
While it is difficult to misuse the term risk (risk being defined as the probability of suffering harm or loss), it is too easy to misuse "threat." As a reminder, a vulnerability is a weakness in an asset which could lead to exploitation. A threat is a party with the capabilities and intentions to exploit a vulnerability in an asset.
With few exceptions, no security vendors deal with threats. There are only two ways to gather information on threats: passive interaction or active interaction. Passive interaction means watching threats as they conduct reconnaissance, exploit targets, and pillage assets. Active interaction means communicating with the threats themselves, through email, voice, and other means.
Two organizations I know that deal with threats in an unclassified environment include The Honeynet Project and iDEFENSE. The former mainly learns about threats by watching them compromise honeynets, while the latter pursues and communicates with threats. Managed security monitoring providers who look for more than worms can also be considered threat-aware; examples include NetSec and LURHQ.
I guess the "threat" concept is just too sexy for most security vendors to avoid. Even people who should know better, like Bruce Schneier, misuse the terms threat and vulnerability. (See my review of Beyond Fear; it's the second on that page.) Although I will probably be seen as stepping on the toes of smart security people, I will not stop pointing out when those important terms are misused.

The Wikipedia definition of vulnerability looks ok. The threat definition is horrible.
"A threat is an unwanted (deliberate or accidental) event that may result in harm to an asset."
Since when is a threat an event?
"Examples are a robbery, kidnapping, hijacking, extortion, blackmail."
Good grief.
Alice: "I was just robbed. That was quite a threat!"
Bob: "No kidding. I was kidnapped!"
Wikipedia is proof that the quality of thought is not measured by the appearance of a Web interface.
... Wikipedia is proof that the quality of thought is not measured by the appearance of a Web interface.
Wikipedia is nothing more (or less) than the result of its contributors' provided info/knowledge. The point I was trying to make, by presenting those definitions to you, was that you could definitely help in improving those terms, in a place much more popular in regards to community access, then any blog ... TIA
- Richard Bejtlich said...
I see. I could try, like I did with a few other security-related terms. I could then also watch those changes be undone by people with the spare time needed to "guard" Wiki entries! :)
From what I hear, _Microsoft_ is paying the bills; ie, Microsoft is paying Foundstone to set this up. I'll bet you won't find too many unkind words about Microsoft on these blogs ;-)
- Richard Bejtlich said...
You are correct. You might even be the person who told me that, and I promptly forgot to mention it! Thank you.
BTW, Microsoft's record on proper terminology is ok, but it could be a lot better.
- Mark Curphey said...
This is Mark Curphey at Foundstone, I was invoved in setting up the site. One of the nice things about this being a Wiki is you can come along and suggest changes right there right now. The whole point is to move towards convergence on terms and definitions we would welcome you getting involved, making changes and let the community see what is the best way forward. I agree with your synopisis 100% BTW. I am ANAL about definitions and taxonomies. See my post about the OWASP Top Ten to webappsec this weekend for proof ;-)

Hi Mark,
Thanks for posting here. I appreciate your input and I am honored you consider my opinions worthwhile.

Conflict is inevitable. People disagree and argue: Sometimes, there is conflict. Some people mishandle conflict by coming on too strong. Others are not strong enough. Some people run away and hide from all conflict situations.
Conflict management is a way of "nipping the problem in the bud" and defusing the situation early-on, before it has time to develop into a deadly battle of wills.
This one-day training course in Conflict Management teaches participants how to handle conflict situations and difficult people using correct conflict management principles. It provides a reference point to enable you to deal with conflicts in a clear, rational, assertive, and non-aggressive manner. The training style is practical, interactive and keeps the delegates involved throughout the whole training.
If you want to learn how to be excellent at managing conflict situations, at work and at home, then you need to attend this extremely popular conflict course.
Completion of this course will allow the delegate to apply for an Institute of Leadership and Management certificate of attainment and membership of the ILM, for a small additional payment.
