Whenever a new Cricketer debuts I'm always wondering how their career will progress. Now incredibly here is a thread where we can all make such predictions.
So I'm interested in knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the player and how successful they are likely to become before they've started say their 3rd Test match. Perhaps we can revise our selections once they've played a good number like 10-15.
So today or more realistically tomorrow its Rory Kleinveldt and Rob Quiney.

Actor Tom Sizemore enjoyed a secret romance with Elizabeth Hurley while she was dating Hugh Grant.
In his new book, "By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There," the "Saving Private Ryan" star claims both he and Wesley Snipes fell for Hurley on the set of their 1992 movie "Passenger 57."
It was Sizemore who eventually won her affections, but he insists he was too intimidated by Hurley's looks to make a move on her during their first date – so the model and actress took matters into her own hands the following night.
According to Sizemore, Hurley changed into skimpy lingerie and jumped on a coffee table to treat him to a striptease.
He writes, "It was a goddamn good routine too."
Sizemore later moved in with Hurley, but their relationship soured when the actor discovered she was dating Grant, and he had to leave her house whenever the "Notting Hill" star was in town.
He recalls Hurley telling him, "Hugh is coming: when do you think you should move your things out?"
The action star admits he fell in love with Hurley, and broke down in tears when he eventually decided to end their relationship.

Osteopathy is a system of health care which recognizes that the self-healing, self-regulating ability of the body is dependent upon a number of factors, including favourable environmental conditions (internal and external), adequate nutrition and normal structural integrity. It utilizes generally accepted methods of diagnosis, as well as certain specialised ones developed to facilitate accurate structural assessment. It places special emphasis upon the importance of body mechanics, and uses manipulative techniques to detect and correct, faulty structure and function.
In many people's minds, especially in the U.K., osteopathy is equated mainly with the treatment of spinal and other joint pains and problems. This limited care concept is largely an historical accident. As indicated above, the osteopathic profession sees itself as being relevant to a wide range of health problems, and not simply limited to the treatment of musculo-skeletal derangements.
Since the turn of the century, when the first American-trained osteopaths established themselves in practice in the U.K., they have filled a gap that existed (and to a large extent still exists) in medical practice. Doctors tended to regard musculo-skeletal problems as relatively unimportant, and manipulation as, at best, an unknown quantity and, at worst, valueless.
In the U.S.A., the gradual evolution of osteopathy has been towards its original goal of providing a complete health-care system, dealing with all of man's ailments, and utilizing all those accepted therapeutic methods which coincide with its belief in the necessity for treating the patient as a whole, rather than simply treating symptoms. This concept of treating the 'whole' man deserves closer scrutiny. Disease may be stated to be the result of a disparity between the capacities, resources and responses of the individual, and the demands and circumstances made by his life. Disease can be seen to be a phase in the natural history of the individual, whose unique nature responds to his own particular environment. The individual's inheritance, capacities, resources and demands, and, therefore, his adaptations and responses, are unique to him. Illness, the level of health, predispositions, resistance, responses, adaptations etc. to all the elements of his environment, are a culmination of an individual's life, up to that point. The apparent similarities between diseases in different individuals, and the ability to classify diseases, are testimony to the fact that the body can respond in only a limited number of ways to an infinite variety of events and factors. The patient's illness should, therefore, not be seen to be a disease, or aberration, of an organ or process alone, but as part of an illness in his total being. The patient with angina is not ill because of his angina, but has angina because he is ill. It is consideration of the whole picture of the patient's uniqueness, and his relationship with all his complex environmental factors, that provide the background for the total health care that osteopathy seeks to offer. This, of course, includes consideration of the largest body system, the musculo-skeletal system. The methods of care also include its own distinctive approach to the normalizing of musculo-skeletal dysfunction, osteopathic manipulative therapy (O.M.T.).

On a night at Churchill Downs during which the 31st running of the Grade I Stephen Foster Handicap and its collection of many of the top older racing stars in America seemed a clear centerpiece, a lady who was not a part of the Foster's illustrious cast stole the show.
The brightest star in the Churchill Downs firmament on the evening of the first Foster under-the-lights took the stage about 30 minutes before the accomplished group of males that competed in the Foster. And she took our breath away.
The "Downs After Dark†spotlight was stolen by Besilu Stable's Royal Delta, who turned in a sublime performance before a Stephen Foster Day/Night record crowd of 25,417 in winning the $150,000 Fleur de Lis stakes for fillies and mares by eight lengths. The five rivals she left in the distance on Saturday night were not the toughest field she has faced, although runner-up Afleeting Lady is a talented horse who should have a stakes win or two to her credit by year's end.
What was most striking about Royal Delta's victory was, as we say in racing, the way she did it.
Royal Delta displayed her growing brilliance under the lights at Churchill Downs in early November with a victory in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic, which completed a campaign that earned the Bill Mott-trained filly an Eclipse Award recognizing her as America's top 3-year-old filly.
She returned to the races in late February, but was beaten by eight lengths, by the talented Awesome Maria in the Sabin Stakes at Gulfstream Park. But that race was a prep for a run against males a month later, in the $10 million Dubai World Cup at Meydan Race Course in Dubai.
She finished ninth following a troubled journey in which she was completely stopped behind a tiring rival on the far turn. Don't believe the past performance comment line that described her as having "every chance.â€Â Royal Delta, in truth, had no chance in the Dubai World Cup and I'm really not sure which race the Dubai chart-caller might have been watching.
If there were any doubts created by her two losses as a 4-year-old, they evaporated on the far turn at Churchill Downs as the daughter of Empire Maker moved effortlessly when called upon by jockey Mike Smith. She quickly collared Afleeting lady and galloped away an easy victory.
She completed 1 1/8 miles over a fast track in 1:49.49, a time that was more than a second faster than the 1:50.51 her Mott-trained stablemate Ron the Greek needed in an all-out drive to beat heavily-favored Wise Dan and a strong collection of males in the Stephen Foster about a half-hour later.
After watching these two races on a wonderful night of stakes competition, it was impossible to avoid speculating what Royal Delta might have done if she had run against the boys in the Foster.
After her Fleur de Lis romp, Mott – Churchill Downs' all-time winning trainer – suggested that Royal Delta could run next in the Delaware Handicap in July at Delaware Park. Last summer's running of that race was a classic in which 2010 Kentucky Oaks winner Blind Luck, running the last great race of her career, held off eventual horse of the year Havre de Grace in an effort that was, for my money, the best race of 2011.
Don't be surprised if Royal Delta's next step after Delaware is a run against males at Saratoga, either in the Whitney or Woodward Handicaps. In a rare run in the history of American Thoroughbred racing in which females have earned "Horse of the Year†honors in three consecutive seasons, Royal Delta could extend that streak to four.
To accomplish that feat, Royal Delta would likely need to do what the others have done: face males and either beat them or run extremely well in defeat.
Rachel Alexandra, the 2009 "Horse of the Yearâ€, whipped 3-year-old males in a classic run in the Preakness and then downed older males in the Woodward at Saratoga. Zenyatta, the 2010 HOY, just missed against Blame in the Breeders' Cup Classic at Churchill Downs to suffer the only loss of her career, but had won that race the previous year on synthetic footing at Santa Anita. Havre de Grace whipped males in the Woodward and finished fourth to the Mott-trained Drosselmeyer.
If Royal Delta was spectacular on the track, she's even more marvelous when viewed up close. She is a beautiful and imposing filly with a pedigree that suggests that she'll continue to improve with age and experience. It takes only a little imagination to envision a Royal Delta in September and October that is fitter, faster and more mature than the version we saw last Saturday night at Churchill Downs.
There is no doubt that Mott – one of the greatest trainers in the history of American racing – will do a beautiful job of finding the right spots for his star over the next few months. If Royal Delta continues to progress, the current "Girl Power†era will have a new star that, on her best day, could very well rival or equal the best those previous three female†Horse of the Year†honorees have offered.
It is very likely that we have yet to see Royal Delta's best day. The prospect of seeing her at the height of her considerable powers later in the year is one of the most exciting possibilities offered by U.S. racing this year.

Global Payments says data breach investigation turned up a second breach
- 13 June, 2012 13:34
Global Payments, the electronic transaction-processing firm which acknowledged a data breach in April related to a suspected 1.5 million payment card numbers, yesterday said its ongoing investigation into that is turning up another issue: "potential unauthorized access to servers containing personal information collected from a subset of merchant applicants."
Background: Global Payments says fewer than 1.5 million cards affected in data theft
In a statement it put out, Global Payments said, "It is unclear whether the intruders looked at or took any personal information from the Company's systems; however, the Company will notify potentially-affected individuals in the coming days with helpful information and make available credit monitoring and identity protection insurance at no cost."
In a conference call yesterday, CEO Paul Garcia apologized for the ongoing impact of the incident, saying, "We are outraged by these criminal acts." He said the firm is cooperating with federal law enforcement in the investigation.
The firm, based in Atlanta, says its latest discoveries are not related to the cardholder data breach that was uncovered earlier and strictly concern U.S.-based merchant applicants. The company says it doesn't know if the criminals that accessed the servers really looked carefully at the merchant-applicant data or took it.
Garcia said the data-breach incident has caused "certain card brands" — he didn't identify whether it was Visa, MasterCard or any other -- to remove Global Payments from its list of approved providers in terms of Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards compliance. Global Payments says it's working on remediation efforts, making changes to its network security, to try and gain PCI DSS compliance approval through a new qualified security assessor that would audit the company's systems. The company said it initially discovered the breach while updating its network.
When asked whether the company thinks more issues will crop up, Garcia said, "We think we're getting to the end of this." The company plans to provide an estimate about the costs of the data breach later in July.

TRY THIS NOW: (without glasses or contacts)
Hold your hand up near your face and focus on it, and then quickly look at something past your hand in the distance. Then look back at your hand. Out of the corner of your eye notice the same distant item. If you've got clear vision, here's what you should see: Your hand will be clearer than the distant item when you are focusing on your hand. When you're focused on the distant item, it will be clearer than your hand. However, if you're nearsighted, your hand will be clearer, even when you're looking at the distant item. And if you're farsighted, the distant item will be clearer, even when you're looking at your hand.
In other words, if you've got a vision problem, your eyes can't change focus, swiftly, easily and sharply, from far to near. Many people think there's nothing that can be done about that, perhaps even believing that it's because the eye is the wrong shape (that's another one of the 5 Vision Myths that I tear apart in The Program for Better Vision). But you can train the muscles in your eyes to focus better at different distances, and here's why:
The lens in the eye changes its shape to bring objects into focus. The lens needs to be flatter to see objects that are further away more clearly. And it needs to become fatter to focus on something closer. We are always changing what we are looking at, so the lens is continually making fine adjustments in its shape. Normally, the lens changes its focus - and thus its shape - more than 100,000 times each and every day. The shape of the lens is controlled by a group of muscles that surround the lens. These muscles have to work together to change the lens into the exact shape required to bring whatever you are looking at into sharp focus.
This changing of the eye's focusing power is called Accommodation. (It's one of the 6 Critical Visual Skills you'll develop when you use The Program for Better Vision.) But if you've got a vision problem, these muscles around the lens become stuck and stiff. Some of them can't relax when they need to, while others can't stretch when they need to. If you're nearsighted, they're "stuck" for near vision and the lens has too much power. On the other hand, if you're farsighted, these muscles are "stuck" for distance vision; the lens has too little focusing power. Like any other group of muscle in the body, the muscles around the lens can be exercised. When you exercise them correctly, they can regain flexibility and tone, and they'll work the way that they're supposed to.
Here's one exercise from The Program for Better Vision that re-trains accommodation: Near-To-Far Shifting.
TRY THIS NOW: (without glasses or contacts)
Near-To-Far Shifting is one of 24 different exercises, techniques and processes that you'll find in The Program for Better Vision, a powerfully effective combination of eye exercises, muscle control techniques, brain/eye coordination and complete body, mind and eye relaxation.
You don't have to resign yourself to poor vision and failing eyesight. Your eyes are like any other part of your body – they respond positively to exercise and relaxation. Every condition of your body can be made better with the right actions and attitudes – and that includes your eyesight.

Inside the Hunt for Chinese Hackers
Feb 23, 2013 5:00 AM PT
A recent report by Mandiant, a U.S. information security firm, has added a new chapter to the discussion about cybersecurity -- and put China on the defensive. In chronicling the massive, years-long espionage campaign conducted by the People's Liberation Army Unit 61398, the report implicates the Chinese government and military, and makes suspicions about China's cyberwarfare that much more credible.
To get a better understanding of the report and the reaction to it, we are joined by Dan McWhorter, the managing director of Mandiant's threat intelligence unit. McWhorter, who helped compile the report, talks about the six-year investigation of Unit 61398, the Chinese hacking connection to corporate espionage, and how the publicity surrounding the report has raised the profile of his company.
Download the podcast (19:05 minutes) or use the player:
Here are some excerpts from the podcast:
TechNewsWorld: I want to ask you first about the response and the reaction to the report. It's been headline news in US outlets and outlets around the world. It's touched off discussions in politics and military, and now Mandiant is being called out by members of the Chinese inner circle. Cybersecurity firms are increasingly in the news, but I have to imagine that this has nonetheless been pretty heady stuff for you guys the last few days.
Dan McWhorter: It really has. I mean, we're a small company. We only have roughly 300 employees currently, so you know, for the type of splash and reaction we got, for the size of the company it's been fairly impressive. I think it speaks to how widespread the problem is, and that people are starting to grasp more and more the consequences of cyberthreats.
TechNewsWorld: Now, cybersecurity and cyber threats -- this is an increasingly talked-about topic, especially the last few months. In the fall, there was the House Intelligence report about Huawei and ZTE, the Chinese telecommunications companies. Shortly after that, Leon Panetta warned of a "cyber Pearl Harbor," and then even more recently than that President Obama spoke about cybersecurity in the State of the Union address, which is just about as big of a stage as you can have. So this report is definitely adding to a hot debate right now. But I'm curious -- is this a new discussion that we're having about cybersecurity, is that a reflection of a new problem? Or is this something that's been going on for a while and it's only now getting the attention it deserves?
McWhorter: Yeah, it's definitely been going on for awhile. You know, the attention it deserves is probably in direct correlation to the level of pain people feel when it happens. I think since it's happening more and more, and people are becoming more aware, they're starting to realize the financial and economic impacts of this level of espionage that we're seeing.
In particular, in the report -- our company in general has been responding to incidents, computer network incidents, where a hacker or some activity has been done on a network. We've done that for nine years, but this group in particular (Unit 61398) we've been tracking for at least six years, and we see evidence of them going all the way back to 2004 with their activity. So is it new? No. This group has been doing this a long time. They're really the most loud and most prolific of the data theft groups from China that we see. Because we've been tracking them for six years, we were able to provide in our report over 3,000 digital indicators to help people protect and defend themselves against this threat. [*Correction - Feb. 26, 2013]
TechNewsWorld: What was the impetus for doing such an in-depth investigation on this one group? Were you seeing a recurrence of the same sort of tactics? The same sort of espionage? What was it that clued you off that this was something you should focus on?
McWhorter: There are a few different things. One is, there's not much that's changed with the group. We've known them very well for a long time, and so have other security firms. I mean, they've hit broad industries. We list over 20 industries that they've stolen from across 141 different victims. So, we pretty well knew their tactics and knew what they were up to.
But I will say, whenever you go to disclose information to the public, you have to weigh the pros and cons. And in our case, we've almost always taken a very conservative stance that we didn't want -- we track 22 other or 24 other groups, APT (advanced persistent threat) groups, that we believe trace back to China, but we don't release information on them. The reason is, we don't necessarily have an absolute, complete picture. We have a partial picture, a partial understanding, so we don't feel confident releasing that data, because we feel that they'll change their tactics and we'll lose our foothold. And that's sort of the same mentality that the government uses from a national security mindset, when they choose whether to say something or not.
With this group in particular, though, the realization came that we know these guys so well -- front, back, inside and out. We know the systems they've compromised, we know their tools, we know their attackers, we recognize their methodologies, we know their malware. We really felt confident in being able to release the information and not lose our visibility into what the group's doing.
TechNewsWorld: One of the quotes that was picked up on by a lot of different news outlets came from Kevin Mandia, the founder and CEO of Mandiant. He told The New York Times, "Either the attacks are coming from inside Unit 61398, or the people who run the most-controlled, most-monitored Internet networks in the world are clueless about the thousands of people generating attacks in this one neighborhood." So there's really a very direct -- it's not an insinuation, it's really just kind of stating, "There had to have been knowledge about this among the people who control the Chinese Internet, the Chinese government had to have been privy to what was going on." This is something that you have little doubt about in your mind? That it wasn't some isolated group in this building, that it was part of something much larger?
McWhorter: Yeah, I mean, it really comes down to an Occam's Razor argument, and that's where we started -- or actually, that's where we ended up. But you end up with, let's say, 10 pieces of evidence that are very interesting and very solid in their foundation of fact. So you get 10 things that are facts, and then you look at them and you say, "Well, in order to tie all these together, let's consider the different hypotheses." And Occam's Razor basically says, if you can tie all 10 of those together with an obvious answer, in all likelihood it's right -- it's more right than if you have to tie all 10 of them together with very complex, convoluted types of explanations for everything you've witnessed or observed.
And that's really where Kevin gets that. If you take a look at our evidence -- so all of our evidence, all the digital communications keep traveling back to Shanghai -- [there are] over 850 command-and-control servers that they used to attack other infrastructure that we've monitored, and when they connect up to those command-and-control systems ... when we track those communications, 98 percent of the time they go to Shanghai. So that's one piece of evidence.
Take another piece of evidence: You have attackers who are using that same infrastructure to go do personal things that they're not allowed to do within China. So, you know, they log into this attack infrastructure, and while they're attacking organizations, they're off checking their email, they're on Facebook -- so we know these people. We know their names, we know where they live, we know who they work for.
Then there's other things. Look at the longevity. This has been going on for six years, 141 victims just that we can see as a small company, thousands and thousands of documents that have been stolen. And you have to ask yourself: "What kind of organization could do this? How large do you have to be?" Well, someone has to select targets, someone has to keep up the infrastructure, someone needs to figure out what to steal. When you steal terabytes and terabytes of data -- if you had to do that on the forensics side of things, that would take you years to go through terabytes of data. Who's going through this? Who's picking out the nuggets that are useful? I mean, you stole it for a reason; someone's looking at it. How many people does it take to look at this quantity of data? So when you think about the size of the organization -- that's another piece of the puzzle.
So what the Occam's Razor argument comes back to -- and what Kevin alluded to and what we have in our conclusion to the document is -- when you take all of these individual things together, for any one of them, you could likely build up a story....As you build up the evidence, for maybe seven of the 10 pieces of evidence, you could come up with a story that fits that pretty well, but doesn't fit the other three. Maybe for another story, you could get four or five of them to work pretty well but not all 10. But in their entirety, it's almost an absurdity to think about any other option. That's really the basis.
TechNewsWorld: One of the reasons that Huawei and ZTE were deemed suspicious by US officials late last year is their connections to the Chinese military and to the People's Liberation Army. Huawei, of course, was founded by an ex-military officer, and this was a nugget of news that was always cited. Now, with your report, the idea that the Chinese military is so heavily involved in this sort of extensive, hardcore cyber espionage -- it makes those military connections that are both known and suspected that much more interesting when you think back to the Huawei and ZTE suspicions and allegations. Do you have any sense of what kind of corporate espionage might be linked to this PLA operation? Is there any way to know whether corporations like Huawei and ZTE -- if not those in particular, is there any way to know if they were involved or had any sort of connection to this?
McWhorter: There are certainly indications of that. You know, I'm not a political science expert, but one thing to always keep in mind with a communist regime is, the split between industry and government that we're used to seeing in democratic, free market societies is just not there. So we consider government and industry to be very distinct, but they don't; they're one and the same. In fact, most of the boards inside of communist communities report at some level to the government.
So there is a very obvious, natural link there. And as you see all these documents being stolen -- they're very odd documents. Sometimes its obvious. It's a drawing for a new clean energy engine -- okay, that's obvious, they're stealing design specs. But sometimes they steal things that don't make any sense unless you really put your thinking cap on and you think about it. Like, say for instance they steal all the timesheets for all the mechanics in a division. You might say, "Why would you steal that." Well, if you need to produce the same type of product, and you want to understand how much time and energy it takes, and how much manpower it takes, that's very useful information. Anything that brings efficiency to the business and can make them more competitive in global market is what they're interested in.
*ECT News Network editor's note - Feb. 26, 2013: Our original published version of this transcript incorrectly quoted Dan McWhorter as saying that the Mandiant report includes "over 30,000 digital indicators." What he actually says is "3,000 digital indicators." We regret the error.

Helping customers find your app
When you add a new product on the BlackBerry World vendor portal, you are asked to enter short and long descriptions for your app, select a product category, and register a content rating. This information is used to help users find your app with the search features of BlackBerry World.
The BlackBerry World search engine works by finding all app names, vendor names, keywords, and short descriptions that contain the search term. If the term doesn't appear in the first 25 results, the search engine looks for the term in the application descriptions.
A few guidelines to keep in mind:
- The search parameter is not case sensitive, so searching for "abc" and "ABC" will return the same results.
- Spaces matter, so a search for "abc123" will not display an application called "abc 123" unless the term "abc123" is in the app name or description, or the vendor name.
- Each search term is treated as a different word, so a search for "abc 123" or "123 abc" will display the same results.
Provide descriptions and keywords
When you add a new app on the vendor portal, you must add short and long descriptions of your app. You can also add keywords. The following points highlight requirements for descriptions and keywords:
- The short description of your app must be less than 50 characters long in English. This description appears for the user when the product displays in a list, category, or search result in BlackBerry World.
- The long description of your app must be no more than 4,000 characters long in English. This description appears when users view the product details in BlackBerry World.
- Although you must add English descriptions (even if the app is not in English), you may also add descriptions in multiple other languages.
- When you add descriptions for non-English languages, you must also add a name for the app.
- Descriptions for your app must be added to the Default tab, but you may also add descriptions for separate device platforms (BlackBerry 7 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 smartphone, and BlackBerry PlayBook).
- When you add descriptions for a specific device platform, the descriptions in the Default tab are not displayed for that device (the specific device tab content overrides any content in the Default tab).
- If you add descriptions for a specific device platform, you must enter a name for the app at the same time. You can repeat the name used in the Default tab, or you can qualify the name with respect to the platform (for example, "My App for BlackBerry PlayBook tablet").
- You can add up to ten keywords or phrases (per language and per device platform) in the Keywords field. This helps users identify your app during a search. This field has a maximum limit of 1000 characters total, 10 words, and a limit of three words per phrase.
Here are some tips for creating descriptions that provide inviting and useful details about your app:
- Let users know if the content of your app is not in English (for example, "This application is available only in Spanish").
- Let users know if your application is a "lite" version or has a limited trial period (for example, "The trial period for this game will end in 10 days. Please upgrade to the premium version to unlock all levels").
- List features or requirements for your app (for example, if your app is a demo, requires a memory card, or requires Wi-Fi to run).
- Inform users if your app is relevant to a small geographic area (for example, the distribution could be USA for an app that provides restaurant reviews for San Francisco).
- Check your descriptions carefully for accurate spelling and grammar.
When writing your product descriptions, avoid the following:
- Including "TBD" or "To Be Determined".
- Including negative comments about another vendor or developer.
- Criticizing BlackBerry or BlackBerry products.
- Duplicating or copy another vendor's description.
- Including irrelevant keywords, or keywords for competitor names, products, or applications.
Choose the right category
When you add a new app on the BlackBerry World vendor portal, you select a category to help users searching for particular kinds of apps. You can only choose one category for each app.
Choose the appropriate content rating
The BlackBerry World content rating system is based on input from our carrier, consumer and developer partners to create a system that helps parents control the type of content their children can access.
When you upload your app on the vendor portal you must answer a series of questions about your content so that a rating level can be generated for you.
You cannot change the content rating manually if your app is in the Approved state. Please complete the BlackBerry World vendor support form to request a change.
There are four content ratings: General (G), Teen (T), Mature (M), and Adult (A).
General (G) is intended for all audiences and will include:
- No violence.
- No sexual content, situations and/or themes.
- No profanity and/or crude humor.
- No drug and/or alcohol reference.
- No simulated gambling.
- No user-generated content.
- No social networking integration.
Teen (T) is intended for teen audiences and might include:
- Mild or infrequent cartoon, fantasy and/or realistic violence.
- Mild or infrequent profanity and/or crude humor.
- Mild or infrequent references to drugs and/or alcohol.
- Simulated gambling.
- User-generated content.
- Social networking integration.
Mature (M) is intended for mature audiences and might include:
- Intense or frequent graphic cartoon and/or realistic violence.
- Mild or infrequent sexual content, situations and/or themes.
- Intense or frequent profanity and/or crude humor.
- Intense or frequent references to drugs and/or alcohol.
Adult (A) is intended for adult audiences and might include:
- Extreme depictions of graphic violence, appropriate only for or legally restricted to persons of the age of majority.
- Explicit references to drugs or alcohol, appropriate only for or legally restricted to persons of the age of majority.
- Gambling, appropriate only for or legally restricted to persons of the age of majority.
Note: The difference between adult content and mature content is that adult content is legally restricted to the age of majority. BlackBerry World does not accept apps with nudity, intense or frequent sexual content, or hate speech.

This section addresses the following configuration topics:
A message-driven bean is a client to a Connector inbound resource adapter. The message-driven bean container uses the JMS service integrated into the GlassFish Server for message-driven beans that are JMS clients. JMS clients use JMS Connection Factory- and Destination-administered objects. A JMS Connection Factory administered object is a resource manager Connection Factory object that is used to create connections to the JMS provider.
The mdb-connection-factory element in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file for a message-driven bean specifies the connection factory that creates the container connection to the JMS provider.
The jndi-name element of the ejb element in the sun-ejb-jar.xml file specifies the JNDI name of the administered object for the JMS Queue or Topic destination that is associated with the message-driven bean.
The container manages a pool of message-driven beans for the concurrent processing of a stream of messages. The sun-ejb-jar.xml file contains the elements that define the pool (that is, the bean-pool element):
For more information about sun-ejb-jar.xml, see The sun-ejb-jar.xml File in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Application Deployment Guide.
You can control the following domain-level message-driven bean settings in the EJB container:
Initial and Minimum Pool Size - Specifies the initial and minimum number of beans maintained in the pool. The default is 0.
Maximum Pool Size - Specifies the maximum number of beans that can be created to satisfy client requests. The default is 32.
Pool Resize Quantity - Specifies the number of beans to be created if a request arrives when the pool is empty (subject to the Initial and Minimum Pool Size), or the number of beans to remove if idle for more than the Idle Timeout. The default is 8.
Idle Timeout - Specifies the maximum time in seconds that a bean can remain idle in the pool. After this amount of time, the bean is destroyed. The default is 600 (10 minutes). A value of 0 means a bean can remain idle indefinitely.
For information on monitoring message-driven beans, click the Help button in the Administration Console. The Monitor tab is accessible from the Application Server page.
Running monitoring when it is not needed might impact performance, so you might choose to turn monitoring off when it is not in use. For details, see Chapter 8, Administering the Monitoring Service, in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide.

Transfer Courses
Courses taken at regionally accredited institutions of higher learning other than the University of St. Thomas and accepted for credit by St. Thomas are called transfer courses. Exchange courses, as described above, are not transfer courses.
Students who are seeking admission to the University of St. Thomas must have official transcripts of all previous college work sent to the Office of Admissions for evaluation by the University Registrar.
Students who have matriculated at St Thomas must forward transcripts from any other institution attended to the Office of Admissions for evaluation by the University Registrar.
All paper transcripts should be mailed directly from the institution of study to the following address:
University of St. Thomas
Admissions, Mail #5017
2115 Summit Ave
St. Paul, MN 55105-1078
All links and passwords to electronic PDF transcript downloads should be emailed directly from the institution of study to the following email address: email@example.com.
The University Registrar, using official transcripts provided by the student's previous schools, will assist the faculty to determine which courses may be used to fulfill St. Thomas degree requirements. Students may be asked to provide additional materials supporting the use of transfer courses. The university may require transcripts from foreign schools to be submitted to an evaluation service for processing before considering them. A fee may be charged for this service.
Students who wish to enroll in courses at another institution after matriculation at St. Thomas must receive approval from the chair of the relevant St. Thomas academic department if these courses are to be used to meet a core requirement or a major or minor field requirement. The information about course equivalents provided by the Office of Admission through the "Transfer Credit Tool" applies only to transfer courses taken prior to matriculation as a University of St. Thomas student. Once a student becomes degree-seeking at St. Thomas, the determination of whether a postmatriculation transfer course fulfills the criteria for a core requirement or for a major or minor field requirement must be determined by the appropriate academic department. Departments may require students to submit the syllabus for any potential transfer course they hope to apply to a major, minor, or core requirement.
Post-Matriculation Transfer Credit Limit
Students who first become degree-seeking at St. Thomas beginning with the fall 2013 semester and for all subsequent semesters may count a maximum of 8 additional transfer credits taken after the date of matriculation at St. Thomas toward core requirements, with no more than 4 of those credits counting toward any one core requirement area (for instance, Language and Culture or Literature and Writing). This limit applies only to post-matriculation transfer credits and therefore does not apply to courses taken through a UST study abroad program or through the ACTC.

Obama Administration to Strengthen Rural Alaskan Community Economy
Guest blog post by Matt Erskine, Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development
Over the last three and a half years, President Obama has committed his administration to make investments to strengthen rural economies and create jobs. That includes Alaska's Bristol Bay region.
The Bristol Bay Jobs Accelerator Project, an economic growth effort by the Bristol Bay Native Association in Dillingham, Alaska is one of the winners of the multiagency Rural Jobs and Innovation Accelerator Challenge, an initiative that pools the resources of 13 federal agencies to support innovation in rural regional industry clusters.
While Bristol Bay has a wealth of natural resources, it has struggled to leverage those assets to fuel long-term, sustainable growth. The area, for example, is one of the world's premier fishing grounds for sockeye and king salmon, with millions of fish returning to Bristol Bay and its tributaries each year to spawn.
The Bristol Bay Jobs Accelerator Project, representing a consortium of 31 Alaskan tribes, will support the fisheries and seafood processing industry cluster located in Bristol Bay. The goal is to assist distressed rural communities in the region by leveraging local assets, building stronger economies, and creating regional linkages.

Very early this year - I called the local MS course administrator to ask when the course would be this year - (I am NEW NEW NEW ). After a couple of Q&As she said something along the lines of 'So Im wanting to video tape the classroom portion of this, if you agree to be one of the students for the video - Ill pay for your course'
Um. YA!
So, in April of this year I expect to be doing just that.
In the meantime, I have taken the sample knowledge
Earlier in 2016, I purchased my goldwing, and my Time Out motorcycle camper. I spent a fair amount of time cleaning the camper, rewiring the trailer, and getting the tent repaired so this past weekend it was time to take her for her first run under my ownership! So prepped to go, we depart headed for Plymouth IN to crash at a Holiday Inn Express for the night. Sounds dumb I know, but it was just way to get a few hours north after working hours.
Here's the SS Goldwing ready to depart;
I've been thinking for awhile that I'd like to have a goldwing. 9 years of funeral escorts has turned me on to the raw reliability of these machines. So, about 2 weeks ago I started really looking seriously for one. I started looking at a 93 1500 just south of Indy. I took a look, I assume it ran well, what wing doesnt? The battery was shot, and he couldnt start it at the moment I looked at it, but it was rough. Many years of lackadaisical use, cracks on almost all of the lenses, and not much in

I thought it might resonate with someone here.
suspension Heretofore, I have refrained from mentioning that I own a motorcycle.
In fact, I've often thought that I should be including the many lessons learned participating in the martial art, religious system and personal choice that is motorcycle ownership.

Pregnant woman is paid a huge kindness from self-made millionaire Marcus Lemonis
October 3, 2017
Sometimes all it takes is a touching act of kindness to remind one that goodness still exists in the world. While filming for the TV show "The Profit," self-made millionaire and the show's star Marcus Lemonis encounters a pregnant woman working two jobs. Her name is Tami and she works as a store manager and a bartender while preparing for the arrival of her little one.
When Lemonis tells her what he wants to do with her management position given the circumstances she's in, she totally breaks. No longer will she have to bartend for a second job, Lemonis tells her that she'll be in charge of the location and that he's going to provide her with six-month's pay up front so she can rest easy taking her maternity leave.
"The Profit" follows Lemonis as he invests in struggling small businesses and helps turn them around. Tami will never forget the day that Lemonis turned his attention to her store and made the monumental impact on her career and family life.

9 March 2011 – The Emergency and Humanitarian Action (EHA) unit of the WHO
Regional Office for the Western Pacific (WPRO), in partnership with the
University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU), conducted the midterm
review of the second phase of the Hospitals Safe from Disasters (HSFD) campaign
on 2-4 March 2011 in Manila.
The second phase of the project aims to expand mapping and assessment of
different levels of hospitals in small and medium sized cities, integrate HSFD
concepts in national development plans and policies, and support further
development and adaptation of tools and resources. This will mainstream disaster
risk reduction in the health sector within the framework of the global campaign
for safer cities in 2010-2011.

The 'One Million Safe Schools and Hospitals Initiative' was launched in
Manila on 8 April 2010. The initiative with the slogan "Make a Pledge, Save a Life" encourages an individual, a family, community, organization, government, or business entity to pledge to make a school or hospital safer from disasters in three ways: as an advocate, leader or champion.

Health Ministers from WHO's 11 Member States in
South-East Asia have committed themselves to making health facilities more resilient by adopting the Kathmandu Declaration on Protecting Health Facilities from Disasters. This declaration was adopted at the conclusion of the Twenty-seventh Health Minister's Meeting in
Kathmandu in September 2009.
Read the declaration
Recent statistics suggest an increase in natural disasters around the world due to climate change and global warming. Although the annual number of fatalities has reduced since the start of the twentieth century, the number of affected people requiring immediate treatment has increased. The discontinuity of medical services in such events has encouraged the World Health Organisation's (WHO) appeal to not let hospitals be victims of emergencies and it launched a global campaign, Hospitals Safe from Disasters. The Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction held in Geneva 16-19 June 2009 concluded by calling for a 50 percent reduction in disaster related deaths by 2015.

Picking up from two weeks ago: Two James Bonds � George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton � have met their apparent demise, newcomer Daniel Craig and old-timer Sean Connery worked together to find the aging Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan showed up mad at everyone.
Picking up from two weeks ago: Two James Bonds � George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton � have met their apparent demise, newcomer Daniel Craig and old-timer Sean Connery worked together to find the aging Roger Moore, and Pierce Brosnan showed up mad at everyone.
It�s all part of my pitch for the ultimate 007 film. The basic premise is this: All six agents over the last five decades are actually orphans trained by spies to believe they were THE James Bond, an identity created by British intelligence. All good until someone starts killing them off.
Before we wrap up the third act and find out who�s been pulling the strings in our Bond civil war, I want to talk about theme songs.
To get answers to my questions I went to the newsroom�s resident Bond expert. You know him as award-winning sports reporter Chris Miller. He likes 007 movies as much as I like Star Wars.
I wanted to find the perfect performer for the theme song to my dream Bond film. To gauge my selection, I asked Chris which song was his favorite.
He didn�t hesitate. His answer: �Nobody Does It Better� by Carly Simon from the 1977 movie �The Spy Who Loved Me.� (Chris knew all that off the top of his head, folks.)
I�m partial to �For Your Eyes Only� by Sheena Easton from the 1981 film by the same name. (I had to use Wikipedia. But ask me about Tatooine sometime.)
The list of performers for Bond songs is impressive. To name a few: Nancy Sinatra, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow, Madonna, Alicia Keys and Adele. Good grief. It reads like a music hall of fame call sheet.
So how do I top these singers? I don�t think one performer could get the job done. A 007 film with multiple Bonds requires more than one diva. I think Rihanna and Beyonce doing a slow burn jazzy number should qualify.
Getting to the action in the third act, Brosnan and Craig have a running battle through the streets of San Francisco that ends with them wrestling atop a streetcar. Across town Connery and Moore team up to fend off wave after wave of assassins. Just when it looks like the attack is finally over, the final gunman fires a shot through Moore�s heart. He dies in the arms of his wife Tanya Roberts (reprising her role as Stacey Sutton). Connery turns to see Moore�s murderer: Timothy Dalton.
Brosnan and Craig fight to a standstill, realizing neither is the enemy the other believed. They return to Sutton Enterprises to find the place bombed out, Moore dead and Connery mortally wounded.
Sutton tells them that Dalton is alive and headed to the Bond orphanage in London.
Well, I didn�t really count on how long this would take when I started last month. This was all supposed to be one column. Maybe my editors are right about me always pushing deadlines�
Movies are supposed to have three acts, but ours won�t wrap until next week.

Life Science: Brassica & Butterfly System
Brassica & Butterfly System
The Brassica & Butterfly System (see building instructions) will allow you to observe an entire plant life cycle along with an entire animal life cycle over a relatively short time period. The plant, Brassica rapa, is a variety that belongs to the mustard family. It has been selectively bred for a rapid life cycle: from seed to seed in about 30 days. These plants have been nicknamed "Fast Plants." The animal is Pieris rapae, an insect known as the cabbage white butterfly. Pieris also has a life cycle that occurs over about 30 days.
The connection between the two involves feeding and reproduction. Pieris larvae are particularly fond of eating Brassica leaves, while Pieris adults feed on the nectar in Brassica flowers. As the butterflies move from flower to flower, they pollinate the Brassica plants. In addition, Pieris adults are attracted to Brassica leaves for egg-laying.
There are many activities that can be done with Brassica, Pieris, or both. Life Science has suggested a few that can help you understand plant and animal life cycles better–and that can be used with great success in K-6 classrooms. The "Brassica & Butterfly Life Cycles" activity follows the progress of Brassica from seed to seed as it interconnects with the life cycle of Pieris from egg to egg. "To Bee or Not to Bee" is an activity you can do to see what happens to Brassica flowers that are pollinated and those that are not. The "Salad Bar" activity tests the feeding preferences of Pieris larvae; and in "How Sweet It Is," different sugar concentrations are used to see the effect on adult Pieris feeding. Finally, with the "Mother Knows Best" activity, you can see on what types of plants Pieris prefers to lay eggs.
You can follow along online and "Track Our Progress" with these activities: "Brassica & Butterfly Life Cycles," "The Salad Bar," and "Mother Knows Best."

People camping on roofs in the devastated Chokwe
Engulfed by a raging torrent of water last week, the town of Chokwe in southern Mozambique was all but destroyed for the second time in 13 years, but it emerged with a hugely lower death toll.
As in 2000 when floods of biblical proportions claimed 800 lives, an underdeveloped network of dams and dykes allowed the swollen Limpopo River to burst its banks, submerging most of the province of Gaza, where Chokwe is located, under metres of water.
But thanks to a decade-long effort to lessen the impact of natural disasters in Mozambique, most people escaped this time.
"Better climate science, more government commitment to use early warning information, good collaboration with local radio stations, word of mouth of Red Cross volunteers - all of these combined resulted in people moving before their lives were in danger," said Alexander Matheou, the International Red Cross&39;s regional representative for East Africa.
Floods since early January have claimed 68 lives and displaced some 250,000 people countrywide.
Although the latest floods were not as severe in size or duration as the 2000 disaster, experts believe the impact could have been much worse.
"In 2000, there was no early warning to the population, so there were a lot more people who suffered and died," said UN World Food Program spokeswoman Lola Castro.
Immediately following the 2000 flood, donors poured US$480 million into Mozambique to prevent another crisis of similar magnitude.
This allowed the government to create a national strategy to deal with disasters.
"It focused on the question of creating resilience among people and communities," said Rita Almeida, the National Disaster Management Institute spokeswoman.
Nearly 40,000 people were resettled in less flood-prone areas. Investments in water management infrastructure and meteorological agencies were prioritised, at least on paper.
Early warning is not enough
But the most successful project was the early warning system the government and NGOs introduced.
Mozambique Red Cross Society, the initiative&39;s primary driver, funded a five-year disaster preparedness programme in 18 communities styled on schemes in the Philippines and Latin America.
With many rural dwellers lacking basic services like electricity - let alone telephones or television - planners took a community-based approach to design the system.
Local disaster committee members were trained in life-saving cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and equipped with emergency kits such as whistles, megaphones and life-jackets to help boost disaster response. Radios were distributed, enabling them to receive cyclone or flood warnings from the authorities and then pass on these messages by word of mouth.
The strategy ensures that each community has the basic ability to respond to a disaster, making them less reliant on a centralised response.
Geography still leaves Mozambique vulnerable, however, whatever disaster reduction measures are in place.
Thirteen rivers with sources in neighbouring countries empty into the Indian Ocean after traversing Mozambique, which must rely on South Africa and Swaziland to keep downstream areas in mind when managing their dams.
"We have had situations where the South Africans did not warn us in time they were going to do discharges, with an interval of only two days," Suzana Laforte, head of Mozambique&39;s water board, told the independent local paper Savanna.
Meanwhile, because of a lack of funds and expertise, the Maputo government is struggling to build and maintain its own infrastructure, which is paramount to preventing future floods.
Between 2009 and 2011 the resource-rich but impoverished nation channelled just $275 million toward efforts to reduce disaster risk, while international donors gave an additional $317 million.
Two new dams in critical areas on the Incomati and Limpopo rivers would cost $1.1 billion (805 million euros). An additional $200 million is needed for upgrades to urban drainage systems, according to Laforte.
"A lot has been done, but it&39;s not sufficient," Castro said. "There is a need for a huge amount of effort to build dykes, dams and roads."
A UN report last week found that a damaged dyke that is in need of $27 million in repairs was "one of the main issues that prompted the worsening" of the floods in Chokwe.
Aid groups&39; ability to respond quickly to emergencies also remains an issue.
Tents, water and food have been provided to victims of last week&39;s deluge, but more shelter and sanitation is needed.
"The lesson from this flood in Mozambique is that early warning is not enough," Matheou said. "More pre-positioning of stocks and shelter planning was needed. That should be introduced before this is referred to as a model for replication."

You Call It! #1/
Ah, Fridays at five. If ever a quittin' time cried out for a cocktail of its very own, you are said time. Regrettably, once another endless week wends its way to you, rarely am I of sober-enough mind to do you justice.
Yours should be the crowning achievement of my five days' labor -- I, Charlotte! My magnum opus, thee! Alas, by the time your sweet siren of surrender sounds... yeah, see, I haven't even got enough of the witty wordplay left in me to finish my lede, let alone actually, like, name you.
So here's how we'll roll on Fridays. I'll offer up one of my cocktail creations as per yoozh, but as far as what to call it -- as Otis once sang, I'm depending on you, dear blog followers. (Some of you aren't my relatives, right?) In other words, I'd like you to name that drink. Title that tipple! Christen that cocktail! Whatever the opposite of Alcohols Anonymous would be! (Again, bad wordplay.)
Our inaugural intoxicant is a recipe I jotted down at least a couple years ago; I'm guessing it dates back to my days working at The Royale. I've always thought of it as tasting like the color brown, in a good way. I recently came up with the ground ginger part, which adds some nice dimension and, coupled with the apple, lets you believe at least a teeny bit that you're doing something healthful for yourself. Perhaps this goes without saying, but it's best to save the apple for the end so that a) it soaks up the potion's flavor, and b) you don't look like a no-manners nincompoop picking your garnish straight out of your drink.
Please take a read and leave behind (in the comments below) your ideas for what to call it. Until this blog starts raking in
five two figures, your reward will simply be your name in lights HTML -- and, natch, my undying admiration.
You Call It #1
2 ounces Bulleit
1 ounce Licor 43
½ ounce Patron XO Cafe
Round apple slice and ground ginger, to garnish
Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Pour in all liquid ingredients. Cap, shake vigorously and pour into a cocktail glass. Garnish by cutting a round apple slice, sprinkling liberally with ground ginger and dropping into drink.
(P.S. My first go at making this for the photo shoot, my shaker exploded. Fridays are definitely rough around here.)

Dimmer switches can save energy
and extend bulb life
Looking for an easy way to add atmosphere and style to your home and save money at the same time? The Leviton Institute recommends you replace your old light switches with modern dimmer switches. Today's new dimmer switches not only look great on your walls but also offer an array of features. Plus, their energy-saving efficiency will help lower your utility bills, too.
Picking One That's Right for You
Mention dimmer switches to most people, and chances are they'll think of a rotary-style design. Still popular today, this model offers the basics: on, off, and somewhere-in between.
But why stick to the same old thing when there's so much more to choose from? For example, new touch pad models turn on when you place your finger anywhere on their flat touch pad; just slide your finger up or down to adjust the lighting level. Digital circuitry provides a soft, eye-pleasing gradual fade up or down when you turn the light on or off. This type of dimmer is ideal for seniors, who may have trouble gripping or turning switches.
Easy-to-use rocker-action dimmers feature a stylish low-profile rocker switch that responds with one tap by bringing lights up to a preset level; a second tap turns them full on. A double tap to the lower portion turns them back off again.
Fine adjustments are easy with the ultra-smooth slide dimmer. As with touch pad models, some slide dimmers come with a convenient preset switch to recall a previous light level.
There are even dual slide-type (or rotary) faders for those of you with ceiling fan/light combinations. Just think—no more guessing which chain controls which function.
One of the most modern designs is the push pad dimmer. With its return-to-neutral design, the push pad dimmer always remains aligned, whether it's on or off, and there's no dust-collecting webbing between switches. A comfort to touch and an aesthetic treat for the eye, each push pad dimmer features a glowing blue locator LED to help you find it in a dark room.
In the Mood
Creating mood around the house is easy with dimmer switches. Want some real movie theater atmosphere when you're watching a DVD? Dim the lights to low in your media room. Reading a magazine or playing a game with friends in the living room? Bring the lights up to near full.
For some real lighting magic, try one of the "scene-capable" dimmers. Individual fixtures can be programmed to different light levels in up to seven distinct custom- designed "scenes." As an added convenience, a handy remote is available to help change scenes and moods, from anywhere in the room.
Energy Savings
With a dimmer switch, less is more—more money, that is. Dim your lights by a quarter, you increase your energy savings by 20 percent; dim them by half, increase your savings 40 percent. You also extend bulb life up to 20 times when you dim a bulb halfway.
Sleek, functional, economical; no matter how you add it up, dimmer switches not only help beautify a home, they also can make life more convenient for homeowners.
