DB Visual Architect for NetBeans (DBVA-NB) is a full-featured Object Relational Mapping (ORM) plugin for NetBeans that provides the industry's best round-trip code engineering support with Java. The tool acts as a bridge between the object model, data model, and relational model by automating the mapping between relational rows in a database and object models which can be manipulated by a Java program.
Reverse engineering of ERD from DDL was introduced. ERD models like entities, views, and relationships can be generated by reversing the data definition language. Images can be incorporated into documentation. Documentation structure can be saved as a template for reuse in other models. Hibernate annotations are supported in ORM persistence. Hibernate version tags can be generated for optimistic concurrency control. There are also a number of enhancements for the modeling features.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Barack Obama owned it after winning in Iowa. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton stripped it away in New Hampshire, and Obama grabbed it back in South Carolina.
She took it again with a strong performance on Super Tuesday but didn't hold it for long: Obama won 11 straight contests in February. He began making the case to Democratic voters and party leaders that his obvious momentum made him the best choice to be the Democratic nominee for president.
Then came Clinton's victories in Texas and Ohio on Tuesday night, padded by her win in Rhode Island.
In the eight weeks since the Iowa caucus, momentum -- the most magical term in the political lexicon -- has behaved more like a greased pig than a Holy Grail.
Now, with seven long weeks before the next significant primary, in Pennsylvania on April 22, Clinton faces the difficult task of maintaining whatever momentum she has gained.
"We had what might be characterized as a dry spell prior to last night," Harold Ickes, a top Clinton adviser, said Wednesday. "We think that we have turned the corner in the campaign."
Political scientists and campaign operatives say the seesaw of the Democratic race has upended what they thought they knew about momentum. Of the 370 delegates at stake Tuesday, Clinton enjoyed a net gain of only 12, according to the Associated Press count, hardly denting Obama's lead in the race for the 2,025 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
Also, Obama is expected to cut into Clinton's recent gains this Saturday in Wyoming and on Tuesday in Mississippi.
"You kind of have to pause and see if Tuesday was an aberration or a start of a new pattern. Unfortunately, four states do not a pattern make," said Jennifer Duffy, editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "I think we've learned this cycle that the rules don't apply -- everything that we've learned, everything we've taught in presidential primaries is not helpful."
* * *
Before Tuesday, Patrick Kenney believed momentum still mattered. Then Obama lost three out of four contests after winning the previous 11.
"This year does not fit our traditional view of momentum, being that once one candidate got on a roll, they would build momentum and people would switch to them, just to get on the bandwagon," said Kenney, chairman of the political science department at Arizona State University and author of several studies on political momentum.
"People get on the bandwagon because other candidates start to fade. But she's not fading. She's in there all the time, fighting."
The idea is that whoever is winning is likely to keep winning, and political people tend to bet on winners in the form of donations and endorsements.
Experts say this year's distortion is the product of several factors. Both candidates are well-known, well-organized and well-funded, so neither has been able to overwhelm the other. The Democratic Party's nominating process, too, awards delegates based on the proportion of the vote, so even the loser gains delegates.
Finally, supporters of each candidate tend to like the other.
"Whenever someone seems to be on the roll, the voters really insert themselves in the process," said veteran consultant Chris Lehane, who supports Clinton but isn't involved in her campaign. "It's a function of the fact that on the Democratic side, voters like both candidates an awful lot, and I think you've seen that as the voters go back and forth in trying to make their decisions."
Both campaigns are wary of being seen as overly aggressive toward their opponent, but the fight could get nastier. Clinton ran aggressive advertisements against Obama in Texas and Ohio, including one that said voters will want Clinton, not him, when the phone in the White House rings for a crisis at 3 a.m.
Costas Panagopoulos, director of the Center for Electoral Politics and Democracy at Fordham University in New York, said Clinton put Obama on the defensive, and it apparently worked. Obama should expect more.
"He can't adopt a cavalier approach and brush off her criticism for too long," Panagopoulos, said. "He's trying to take the high road, but if he doesn't want her criticism to penetrate the consciousness of the electorate, he has to come off of his high horse and defend himself. That has the potential to get very dirty."
The Obama campaign suggested the candidate will go on the offensive. Speaking Wednesday on CNN, Obama offered a sample of what's to come as he challenged Clinton's assertions that she is more experienced.
"Well, she's yet to cite what experience, in fact, prepares her for that 3 a.m. phone call," Obama said. "When her advisers were asked about it, there was a deafening silence. So it was a clever ad, but the bottom line is that the most important foreign policy call that she's had to make since she's been in public office was whether or not to follow George Bush into Iraq. And she made the wrong decision."
With no major contests until Pennsylvania, the campaigns will be struggling to give themselves a boost by touting strong fundraising numbers and announcing key endorsements.
They'll also be heavily courting the 796 superdelegates -- party officials and leaders -- who can support either one and ultimately may decide the nominee.
Clinton will continue to remind superdelegates and voters that she has won the big states, including California and her home state of New York.
"The last word in the primary was last night, when she won three out of four," said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Broward County Democrat and leading Clinton supporter in Florida.
"The one who has the last wave of momentum will be able to ride that wave through the next series of primaries. She took away Barack Obama's ability to say, 'I won 11 straight.'"

Bulldogs' slump continues in loss to OHS
Published 6:35 pm, Tuesday, February 15, 2011
The Midland High boys soccer team has played three district games in Grande Communications Stadium and all of them have ended in the same result — a loss.
The Bulldogs had another sluggish start and Odessa High took advantage by building a two-goal lead in the first half on the way to a key 3-1 District 3-5A victory on Midland High's home turf.
It was the Bulldogs' third loss in four district games, and third straight on the turf at Grande, and this one might be one that will sting for a while. The Bulldogs made a late push in the game to get some goals, but it wasn't enough to offset the slow start and another game where anyone in a Bulldog uniform was left scratching their heads.
"It basically comes down to us having to want it," said Midland High senior defender Kierre Woods, who scored the Bulldogs' lone goal on a penalty kick in the 78th minute. "This is embarrassing the way we lost, and it's going to take a lot of heart, and a lot of dedication and work to get out of this."
Midland High is now 5-5-4 overall but 1-3-0-0 in 3-5A play with three points, and sitting in seventh spot, while Odessa High improved to 3-10-1 and 1-2-0-1 in league play with four points.
"It was an awful start," Midland High coach Warren Cottle said. "We just keep digging ourselves in holes, and until we figure out a way to not dig ourselves in holes this is the stuff that is going to happen. It comes down to mental and that's something I've got to fix."
The Bronchos, who were winless in district entering the game, looked like a team determined to break out of their recent slump, while Midland High struggled to put together a consistent attack and had defensive lapses that eventually cost them goals.
The Bronchos struck in the seventh minute when Kevin Galindo took a pass and fired a scorching shot past Midland High keeper Jesus Cereceres for the game's first goal.
The two teams settled down after the goal, and Midland High's Zane Ferguson had a shot on a breakaway in the 24th minute but he couldn't control it.
Eight minutes later, the Bronchos built on their lead and seized the game's momentum when Alejandro Sanchez broke through the Bulldog defense for a 2-0 Broncho lead.
"We have been playing decent games, but we haven't been putting anything away," said Odessa High coach Noe Cerazo. "Our practice (Monday) was about not being passing players anymore, and let's just go everytime."
Galindo's second goal came in the 46th minute when a soft shot was misjudged and went behind Cereceres where Galindo tapped it in for a 3-0 Broncho lead.
In three games at Grande this season, Midland High has allowed nine goals, and the latest loss was a 1-0 setback to rival Lee on Saturday.
"It's got to be fight and come down to desire from beginning to the end," Cottle said. "That's something I've got to fix."
Woods' penalty kick goal came with less than three minutes remaining, and after the goal there were some heated exchanges after a collision between an OHS and MHS player. Players had to be separated by referees and coaches from both squads, and a red card was given to Midland High's Jake Forrester.
No matter the late game ruckus, Bulldog players and Cottle know that it's crunch time for their squad with eight games remaining in the district season.
"We have to shake it off," Woods said. "We have to bounce back. But we still have time, thank God, to regroup and figure out what we need to do. We are a lot better than what we are showing. We just have to prove it."

20 Critical Security Controls: Control 15 – Controlled Access
Today's post is all about Control 15 of the CSIS 20 Critical Security Controls – Controlled Access Based on the Need to Know (the last post pertained to Control 14). Here I'll explore the (11) requirements I've parsed out of the control (I used the PDF version, but the online version is here) and offer my thoughts on what I've found [*].
Key Take Aways
- Start With The Obvious. At full tilt, this requirement is going to murder your processes, so start off slow and with the obvious. Where are the "crown jewels?" Cordon them off, ensure they're transmitted only over secure channels, tag them with appropriate classification identifiers, and audit everything that happens to them or near them (as should be described in Control 14 on audit logging).
- Leverage Standards. FIPS 199 is a standard that some must adhere to, but it's useful (and available) to everyone. Try it out as a mechanism to help you categorize your information and information systems. See if you can get your Asset Management System to "speak" FIPS 199 or at least tag your assets with FIPS 199-specific data formats (you'll probably have to invent one – then open source it, ok?).
Potential Areas Of Improvement
- Focus. Again, I believe a Control should be focused and given that there's a DLP-specific Control (17), the DLP-specific requirements herein should probably be moved. Similarly for the audit logging requirements also found herein.
- Tighten Notification Demands. Allowing 24 hours for notification, especially on sensitive information, seems like too long a timespan. I'd prefer to see as close to "immediate" as you can get.
- Key Management. There are many ways we rely on cryptography, and, it seems, little guidance in implementing the most important piece – key management. I would really like to see references from Control requirements to good, easy-to-comprehend guidance in this area. Maybe no such guidance exists, in which case, it should.
Requesting Feedback On
- Requirement 1
Requirement Listing
- Description: Any sensitive information should be located on separated VLANS with proper firewall filtering.
- Notes: They say this is a quick win, but I'm not really convinced of that. I've not managed networks for a while, though, so if you have feedback that would be helpful for the community, feel free to comment. Something more advanced might include using separate VLANs for different classifications of information. Of course, then you need a classification scheme (a wise idea anyway). FIPS 199 can help you with this (see requirement 3).
- Description: All communication of sensitive information over less-trusted networks needs to be encrypted.
- Notes: I would encrypt sensitive information on the wire over trusted networks, especially if there is separation of duties that apply in your organization. For example, an R&D resource should probably not be able to see Finance-specific information and vice versa. These days, encryption isn't that expensive in terms of internal network bandwidth, so why not do it?
- Description: Establish a multi-level data identification/classification scheme (e.g., a three- or four-tiered scheme with data separated into categories based on the impact of exposure of the data).
- Notes: There are so many ways to classify information that this is precisely where information sharing bogs down. What makes sense to one organization may not make sense to another, and therein is the issue – it's policy related. Nevertheless, for your internal purposes, you can go with a simplified stratus and leverage FIPS 199 to help you classify appropriately.
- Description: Enforce detailed audit logging for access to nonpublic data and special authentication for sensitive data.
- Notes: The audit portion of this requirement should be moved to Control 14. Special authentication to sensitive data might simply require a re-authentication or use of separate accounts with special, specific privileges.
- Description: The network should be segmented based on the trust levels of the information stored on the servers. Whenever information flows over a network of lower trust level, the information should be encrypted.
- Notes: This requirement seems better off in Control 19 (Secure Network Engineering), and segmentation has been covered in a previous control. Further, information transiting any network should be encrypted when possible, just to ward off internal sniffing. But, my statements are all predicated on some specific assumptions about your risk levels – you're better off to perform appropriate risk assessments given your systems architecture and operational processes.
- Description: Host-based data loss prevention (DLP) should be used to enforce ACLs even when data is copied off a server.
- Notes: This is very prescriptive, and may not be a bad thing to have tied into your DLP system. Of course, you don't necessarily need a 'DLP' system to accomplish the goal this requirement intends for you to reach. You should be able to craft appropriate change and configuration management rules to detect when actions are taken and to configure your auditing to complement this, such that your SIEM can detect copies from one location to another. Notice, however, that to do this you need to have a really good handle on your network, information, policies, content, and assets in general.
- Description: The system must be capable of detecting all attempts by users to access files on local systems or network-accessible file shares without the appropriate privileges
- Notes: When you see the term 'all' in a metric requirement such as this one, you should be concerned with sample size.
- Description: The system must generate an alert or e-mail for administrative personnel within 24 hours.
- Notes: When it comes to DLP and unauthorized access, I would really like to see you strive for notification much sooner than 24 hours. As near to 'immediate' as you can get.
- Description: To evaluate the implementation of Control 15 on a periodic basis, the evaluation team must create two test accounts each on 10 representative systems in the enterprise: five server machines and five client systems. For each system evaluated, one account must have limited privileges, while the other must have privileges necessary to create files on the systems.
- Notes: None.
- Description: The evaluation team must then verify that the nonprivileged account is unable to access the files created for the other account on the system.
- Notes: None.
- Description: The team must also verify that an alert or e-mail is generated based on the attempted unsuccessful access within 24 hours. Upon completion of the test, these accounts must be removed.
- Notes: None.

Terre Haute, Ind. — This is regarding "Court debate of biblical proportions; 10 Commandments displays at issue" (News, March 3). The 10 Commandments represent a general statement of morality handed down to mankind thousands of years ago, which was then integrated into Judeo-Christian ethics, thereafter codified into English common law. These commandments merely set forth the difference between right and wrong to provide a compass for humanity to live good and honest lives.
All institutionalized religious frameworks throughout the world basically embrace these common-sense dictates as those principles necessary for the conduct of positive human behavior.


text: I spend a lot of time on Pinterest and Instagram soaking up the visuals like a sponge. My feeds are loaded primarily with food. A few things happen when I stare at beautiful food photography for hours on end — I want to cook, I want to shoot, and I want to eat. The eating thing is usually what happens first. When all I've been looking at are rainbow cakes, brownies loaded with candy and every flavor of French macaron known to mankind, I'm most likely to pig out on sugar and butter. Less than ideal, I know…so instead of fighting the urges (and cavities) on will-power alone, I decided it would be wise to follow more health-focused foodie accounts. Not so surprisingly, it became MUCH easier to eat well when I was taking in all that fresh, green goodness instead of just "junk". The link between what I was looking at and what I was eating was so obvious that when I learned about the campaign Bolthouse Farms was doing to get people hashtagging more health foods and less junk foods, I flipped. Loved it. So let me explain cause it's SUCH a cool project.

Michelle Winkley is director of HR at Spot Runner, an Internet-based ad agency in Los Angeles that has expanded rapidly. So Winkley said she's using "buddies" to expedite the process of bringing new hires on board.
"Sometimes new employees need a peer to help them feel comfortable," she said. "You're probably not going to feel comfortable asking your boss where the bathroom is."
It's that peer-to-peer relationship that distinguishes buddy programs from mentoring programs, says Winkley and others.
At Wilkin & Guttenplan PC, a certified public accounting consulting firm in East Brunswick, N.J., entry-level staff also are assigned a buddy they meet with throughout their first year, according to firm administrator Janine Zirrith. "It's deliberately less structured so that the relationship can develop naturally over time," she said.
The word "buddy" is a good term to indicate the difference between these programs and the formal mentoring programs with which they may often be confused, said Rick Maurer, a nationally cited expert in change management and organizational health.
"Every organization has unwritten taboos," Maurer explained. Buddies can be helpful in guiding new employees through the land mines to avoid missteps and potential embarrassment, he said.
Selecting Buddies
"Buddy selection should be taken just as seriously as the hiring decision itself," said Maurer. "A buddy becomes the face of the organization, and through his or her actions says, 'This is how we do it here.' "
At Wilkin & Guttenplan, interns and entry-level staff are assigned to younger staff members, Zirrith said. "Since [they] are closer in age to our younger staff, we feel they'll relate more easily to them than to a partner or senior manager. We look at our younger staff and approach those individuals we feel have the time and personality suited to the program."
Beth Carvin, president and CEO of Nobscot Corp., a Kailua, Hawaii-based recruitment management company, agrees. She recommends a simple, three-step approach: Ask for volunteers, encourage them, and reward them for their efforts.
Rewards don't have to be significant, and they don't have to be monetary, said Carvin. At National Interstate Insurance Company in Richfield, Ohio, for example, human resource associate Liz Rogers said, "We will hold an appreciation event at the end of the year for our buddies to attend."
There are two key criteria that buddies should have, said Steve Trautman, a Seattle-based consultant and the creator of the Peer Mentoring Workshop. Buddies, says Trautman, must be willing to help. But more important, "They should be the kind of employee the organization wants to replicate."
Keeping It Simple
While a certain amount of information and orientation is necessary, Carvin cautions against doing too much training for buddies. "You want to keep it light or you're not going to be having too many people wanting to be buddies," she said.
Winkley's program includes a toolkit and a loosely defined process to help buddies perform their assigned roles. "We want the buddy to be armed and ready with information when they need it," she said.
A buddy checklist provides a guide for what to do when the new hire comes on board. "We suggest that buddies e-mail the new employees before they start, and we provide a sample draft that they can use if they wish," said Winkley.
The checklist also includes recommendations for introducing the new hire to the department, arranging lunches, establishing follow-up contact and more. Buddies are expected to check in with new hires at least twice a week.
Evaluation of the program is also important and, again, can be informal. National Interstate's Rogers said new employees and buddies complete a survey at the end of the program; managers' feedback is sought as well.
Winkley has used an online survey to gather feedback after the first week and an in-person meeting after the fourth week.
Taking these steps to ensure consistency in the process and to manage the experience for both the buddy and the new hire can help improve the program's effectiveness.
A key objective should be to minimize any sense of "buyer's remorse" on the part of the new hire, said Carvin. Failure to properly acclimate new hires to the organization and make them feel comfortable and productive can result in turnover—an expense that few companies wish to bear.
A buddy system might seem like a lot of work initially, Zirrith admitted. But, she said, "The short-term benefit for a company is a workforce that's happy and productive. In the long term, this translates to lower turnover and less need for recruitment. It's a win-win for the employer and employee."

Rebel areas are pounded by jets just a day after airstrikes kill 76
Syrian government aircraft have pounded opposition areas in the northern city of Aleppo and near the border with Jordan.
Yesterday's bombardment came a day after airstrikes, also on Alleppo, killed at least 76 people. In Sunday's attack, government helicopters dropped barrels packed with explosives on several Aleppo neighbourhoods.
The Britain-based Syrian observatory for Human Rights said the death toll from those strikes had risen to at least 76, including 28 children. The government and its opponents are scheduled to meet on January 22 for peace talks to resolve the conflict that killed more than 120,000 since it began in March 2011.

text: Cape Town – The eyes of the motorsport world will be firmly focussed on this weekend's Indian Grand Prix, the first of its kind at the new Buddh International Circuit, outside capital New Dehli.After the tragic death of Dan Wheldon in the Las Vegas Indy300 11 days ago, followed by Marco Simoncelli's ill-fated crash in Sunday's MotoGP race in Malaysia a week later, the issue of safety will be watched closely. It may seem eerily ironic to some that motorsport's safest code over the last 20 years has never done any testing at this weekend's venue whatsoever.However, Formula One legend and three-time champion, Jackie Stewart believes the sport has done very well over the years and is in a fortunate position."F1 is very safe indeed compared to any other form of motorsport. But we can count ourselves very fortunate that we've been so many years without a fatality when you think that the drivers are millimetres apart at times," said Stewart on BBC Sport's website.The last time a Formula One race claimed the life of a driver was in 1994 when Brazilian Ayrton Senna left the Imola track at the San Marino GP, crashing into an unprotected concrete wall. Austrian driver, Roland Ratzenberger lost his life the previous day during the qualifying session for the very same race.Measures and improvements have taken place since and Force India's British driver, Paul di Resta says he could not feel any safer in a racing car.Di Resta has performed quite admirably in his debut season after graduating from the German Touring car series (DTM Championship) last year, but without setting the world alight.He feels that the FIA have put every measure in place to keep the drivers as safe as possible."I don't feel in any danger when I'm in the car," said Di Resta ahead of Sunday's Indian Grand Prix."The [governing body] FIA has done a great job with safety over the years."Seven-time F1 champion Michael Schumacher, who was right behind Senna when his fatal crash took place, also stressed the improvements in driver safety."To have total safety is impossible, and F1 is the quickest motor racing sport around the world, but safety has been hugely improved," the seven-time world champion said."If you look at new projects like this track there are huge run-off areas, and there is certainly a high standard of safety."If on top something happens then that is what I call fate. And fate is something that we have to face sooner or later."I'm certainly touched by what has happened to the drivers that we have lost, but unfortunately I have to say that that is life."

But isn't Adams just going to carry on the Vera Katz malaise? To call Sam Adams a Vera Katz protégée is naíve, and shows a lack of knowledge of how city hall actually works.
Yes, as Katz's chief-of-staff for 11 years, he understood his role as a kingmaker and his duty to support and follow his boss. But Adams also spent a good deal of time trying to balance out the mayor's shortcomings--namely, her insular nature which gave birth to well-founded criticisms (many born by the Mercury) that city hall was closed to new ideas.
"I've seen how city hall doesn't respond," explained Adams. "And fighting back is like punching a marshmallow."
Behind the scenes, Adams fought almost daily with Katz to open up the mayor's office to more constituents. He also ventured out on his own, going out to undernourished neighborhoods; like Linnton along the northern stretch of the Willamette River.
"We argued," admitted Adams of his relationship with the mayor. "Katz has said, 'It was the best-worst marriage I ever had.'" Adams added, "it was a responsibility not to have her like me every day; but she did respect me."
Adams also went about trying to focus Katz, who could be more a dreamer than a doer. A few years ago, in an attempt to put the mayor's office on task, Adams diligently tracked down and documented her various ideas and proposed projects. "There were 312 projects," he said. "Do you see what the problem is?"
We like our council members like we like our boyfriends: Experienced! Unlike almost every other candidate this election year, ask Adams for any level of specificity on an issue and he will provide it.
When we asked about utilities, like handling the water bureau, he conceded that utilities were his weakest topic--but nevertheless proceeded to tick off a list of bright-idea remedies to the bureau's administrative shortcomings.
Adams has worked at city hall for 21 years. He knows its strengths, and has plans to address the shortcomings. Being under Katz kept him on a short leash, but a city council seat will give him his first opportunity to fully spread his wings.
When asked what bureau he wants, he plainly stated, "transportation." He admitted it wasn't the sexiest assignment, but recognized it as vital in jumpstarting the city's economy. According to Adams, Portland needs to build up its infrastructure to accommodate the freight we need in order to compete with other West Coast cities.
"It's a very complex bureau," he added, getting excited in only the way a policy wonk can about bureaucratic intricacies. He went on to talk about hammering out common interests for the freight industry and the "bike-peds." He pointed to Amsterdam as a model to follow. He also wants to push the city to become a "platinum" city for bikes. (Currently, in spite of the city's esteemed cycling reputation, Portland is only rated as a "gold.")
Meanwhile, Fish is angling for parks bureau--the closest one can get on the city council to a "fun" assignment.
Adams cares about the community. When asked at our endorsement interview what he would do if the candidacy doesn't work out, Adams said he had been in discussions with Hacienda Development Corporation to be their executive director. Hacienda provides housing as well as health programs and a credit center for the Latino community.
"I was really excited about the prospect of that," he said. He would be their first Anglo director. "This candidacy has reminded me how much I like being out and about." In previous interviews, Adams is the only candidate who has pointed to the dangers of gentrification in North and Northeast Portland.
Adams has the remarkable potential to be a team builder. Currently city council is about as fractured as Serbia-Bosnia. There's enough friction between Francesconi and Erik Sten alone to start a brush fire. Meanwhile, the other council members have been busy carving out their own personal fiefdoms, protecting their bureaus from outside meddling. Adams promises to build coalition from within, starting with providing support to the mayor--which he's already proven he can do.
"Whoever becomes the next mayor, I'm going to work like hell to make him successful," Adams claims. "Because you can't have a successful city without a successful mayor."
Outside city hall, Adams has already started building a better sense of community. In the midst of all the empty talk about "community policing," Adams has been spelling out specific plans to instigate that concept. He says he will push neighborhood associations and police officers to cooperatively develop a Top 10 list of priorities, ensuring that community goals will remain consistent even if the personalities don't. Adams calls this a "little" idea, but in the long run it could help to improve community-police relationships in concrete ways.
And, oh hell… he's just adorable. In two out of the three Mercury's You Promised! town halls, Adams was voted the "gold medalist"--and for very good reasons. Adams is smart, funny, incredibly candid, and has a remarkable ability to be self-effacing--all qualities lacking at city hall right now.
So Why Not Fish?
Let's start with: We like Fish. He's smart enough. He's articulate on housing issues. He wants to make Portland a better community. That's all clear. But facts are facts and he's nowhere as experienced as Adams. Some have endorsed Fish saying it's time for a "newcomer." But that's like the boneheads on Let's Make A Deal who foolishly gamble their prize away, saying, "you know, instead of keeping this $10,000, I'm going to see what's behind door number two." Given Adams' considerable strengths, we're certain it's not a worthwhile risk.
Moreover, while Fish has proven his mettle as a candidate, he hasn't shown he can successfully make the transition from candidate to leader. Some of his campaigning skills could be useful in office. If elected, he has pledged to continue canvassing in an effort to engage more citizens. That plan could help address the sense that city hall is disconnected from the city.
"The rules of engagement need to be changed," Fish stated plainly. He also wants to host radio call-in shows with elected officials and to better publicize city council meetings. While those ideas are laudable, many of those public forums already exist--further pointing out that Fish may already be out of synch. KBOO has excellent call-in shows and Portland Cable Access routinely has political forums.
Moreover, Fish is missing out on an essential point: It's not necessarily how city council presents its ideas and projects to engage the citizenry, but rather what it presents.
We don't think that gambling on an untested candidate is worth the risk--especially when the alternative is tried and true, and he has great ideas for jumpstarting the city.

SIEVERS, G y ALOCILLA, A. Anthelminthic resistance of bovine nematodes against ivermectin in two farms of the south of Chile. Arch. med. vet. [online]. 2007, vol.39, n.1, pp.67-69. ISSN 0301-732X. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0301-732X2007000100010.
Anthelminthic resistance of bovine nematodes against ivermectin was determined in two farms in the south of Chile: one of them located near Purranque (Farm 1) and the other near San Pablo (Farm 2), in which 14 and 22 bovines aged 7 to 8 months were treated with 0.2 ml/kg of ivermectin, respectively. Faecal samples were obtained from each animal 7 days before and 21 days after the treatment to carry out the faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT). A 90.3% of egg count reduction was found in Farm 1, with Trichostrongylus and Cooperia as the most resistant genera. In Farm 2 there was 73.5% of egg count reduction, with Nematodirus as the most resistant genera followed by Cooperia and Trichostrongylus. It was concluded that there was anthelminthic nematode resistance to ivermectin in Farm 2, while in Farm 1 resistance was gradually appearing.

Mark Nepo's Reduced to Joy can change how you approach the challenge of any day. - Oprah.com
(PRWEB) February 01, 2014
Oprah's interview with Mark Nepo, author of Reduced to Joy, will air as part of a special marathon on OWN TV this Sunday. Nepo will share how battling cancer led to a spiritual awakening, and how to listen with an open heart. Nepo also discusses what poetry means to him, and Oprah.com shares selected poems from Reduced to Joy, calling them "poems every woman needs to read."
Mark Nepo is emerging as one of the truly significant writers and thinkers of today. Nepo has a singular way of distilling great truths down to their essence. In his own words, "I've learned that if we can stay true to our experience and to each other, and face the spirit that experience and love carry, we will eventually be reduced to joy. Like cliffs worn to their beauty by the pounding of the sea, if we can hold each other up, all that will be left will be wonder and joy." Moreover, during his cancer journey, Nepo relied on the power of expression and the writing process to keep him tethered to life. In Reduced to Joy, Mark Nepo explores the places where pain and joy are stitched to resilience, uncovering them with deep wisdom, poetic passages and personal revelations. Nepo reminds people of the secret and sacred places within, forgotten in the noise and chatter of our busy distracted 21st Century lives. Reduced to Joy is a lesson in stillness, in standing in the mystery and, above all, in the work of love.
"Mark Nepo's Reduced to Joy can change how you approach the challenge of any day."
Beloved as a poet, teacher, and storyteller, Mark Nepo, the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Awakening, has been called "one of the finest spiritual guides of our time," "a consummate storyteller," and "an eloquent spiritual teacher." His many books have been translated into more than twenty languages. Mark has appeared with Oprah Winfrey on her Super Soul Sunday program on OWN TV, and has been interviewed by Oprah as part of her SIRIUS XM Radio show, Soul Series. A highly popular workshop leader, Nepo travels internationally. He lives and writes in southwest Michigan.

Beyond The Annual Physical
How much do you really want to know about your health? For most of us, the annual physical -- a little blood work, a little poking and probing -- will more than suffice. But for the well-heeled worrier, there are far more detailed and costly options: one- to two-day executive physicals that cost thousands of dollars, $500-and-up full body scans, and now, a $3,400 blood test named the Biophysical250 that screens for 250 possible diseases, at least 150 more than most standard physicals.
"Very American," my own admittedly skeptical doctor sighed when I told him I'd tried the latter option for this story. Then came the warning: "The problem with checking so many things is that you can end up spending a lot of unnecessary time and money chasing after abnormal lab results that are most likely meaningless." True, of course. And the test certainly flies in the face of current medical thinking, which holds that the commonplace annual physical is largely useless. Standard tests rarely uncover disease and have not been proven to prolong life. Yet a recent survey of primary care doctors found that 78% of their patients still expect a routine physical.
Some people want far more, and that's where Biophysical250 comes in. Available since last fall only from Biophysical Corp. of Austin, Tex., it is just one example of the quest for what could be seen as too much information. The company sends a nurse to your home to draw two tablespoons of blood, then the samples get shipped to Austin to test for everything from the mundane -- cholesterol and blood sugar levels, infection -- to the downright scary, such as dozens of proteins and enzymes that could indicate the presence of cancers, autoimmune diseases, or weird genetic anomalies. The test screens for 39 markers for heart disease alone. It does not, however, screen for diseases about which nothing can be done -- Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, for example. And most insurers do not cover its cost.
Biophysical250 is based on the fact that most diseases are caused by a number of factors gone awry in the blood. Biophysical figures it is far more likely to detect a potential problem by combining test results for a multitude of related disease markers rather than assaying just a few.
That sounds pretty scary if you don't give much thought to all the things that could go wrong with your body -- which could describe my "What, me worry?" approach. I hadn't had a physical for over four years when a Biophysical nurse arrived to draw my blood. Two weeks later, an impressively detailed binder of my results arrived in overnight delivery. I scanned the many, many, many numbers with some trepidation, but an hour-long phone consultation with a Biophysical physician, Dr. George Rodgers (part of the service), put most of my fears to rest. I have no signs of cancer, thyroid disease, diphtheria, metabolic syndrome, or lupus. I do have high LDL cholesterol, a surprise given that my readings had been normal in the past, but my own doctor wants to retest me before taking any action.
I also have something new to worry about: a slight deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT), a blood protein that protects the liver and lungs. The test for AAT was developed only a decade ago, and it is sparsely administered. A serious deficiency, which is rare, can lead to emphysema and cirrhosis of the liver, two deadly diseases. My level was only slightly down, and since I've never smoked and am not an alcoholic, Dr. Rodgers told me I have nothing to worry about. Good to know, though, if I'm tempted to take up bad behaviors down the road.
On the other hand, I could probably go safely through life without being tested for AAT. All in all, Biophysical250 is a nice affirmation if you're fairly certain you're in good health, and an early warning system if you're not. Robert Crandall, former CEO of American Airlines, was one of the first to try it in a test run a year ago and says it confirmed what he already knew -- he's in great shape. "It's a great diagnostic tool," he says. Still, he has no plans to take it again. Why not? "Because they want $3,400 for it. Until the medical community says you need this full range of tests, I see no need to repeat it."
Crandall, and many other top executives, are more than willing to repeat an executive physical, the gold standard of checkups. At institutions ranging from the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins University to a Canyon Ranch spa or other luxury resort, people who have plenty of money, or who work for companies willing to spend it on their behalf, can go though extremely comprehensive exams and lengthy doctor consultations to ferret out any disease or lifestyle problems. Most of these programs take two days and cost $2,000 to $8,000, depending on the tests ordered up and the luxuriousness of the surroundings.
At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., one of the first to offer executive physicals, the hallmark of the two-day exam is a lengthy initial meeting with a doctor. "We do run the standard evidence-based tests, but we also listen very carefully to the patient and pursue any clues they may give," says Dr. Deborah J. Rhodes, director of Mayo's program. She gives the example of a 37-year-old man who mentioned in passing that he recently noticed one testicle seemed smaller. This common asymmetry would have barely been noted, except that the patient said it was a recent change. As a result, Rhodes ordered a test for testicular cancer and discovered that the man had the very earliest stages of the disease, catching it long before it would have been found in a physical exam.
The patient might have detected the same cancer had he undergone another option for people who want to know every last thing about themselves, the total body scan. In this test, you are rolled into a computer tomography (CT) scanner, a sort of high-def X-ray, and it records every potential tumor in the body. The full body scan is held in low esteem by the medical establishment, however, because most of the clumps it turns up aren't tumors. Or if they are, they will never advance to a cancerous stage. In one study of smokers whose lungs were screened with a CT scanner, 74% had potential tumors, but only 4% turned out to have cancer.
I'll skip CT scanning. But while my doctor was checking out my Biophysical results, he scheduled me for a mammogram, colonoscopy, and bone density scan. I've officially joined the ranks of the health worriers.

With so much emphasis on the fastball in today's game, there is a new documentary out that tries to answer the question of who was the fastest of all-time simply called Fastball. Scouts are looking for kids these days that throw in the mid to high 90s. Bullpens are built with guys that all throw near triple digits. It has simply become a game built on power arms.
The film Fastball does a good job at not only taking a look at the new guys in the game who throw hard. Guys like Craig Kimbrel, Aroldis Chapman, Justin Verlander, David Price and others are looked at and talked to about what it is like to throw hard. But what I liked about the movie was how the film went back in time to discuss the guys that came before the new breed of flamethrowers.
Man for man I do not think there is any doubt that the guys of today throw harder on average than any other time in the game's history. However, there were guys like Goose Gossage, Walter Johnson, Bob Feller, Bob Gibson, and Nolan Ryan that threw just as, or possibly even harder.
The most interesting thing that they did was some of the video and science behind it all. They compare a 92mph fastball with a 100mph fastball which is an interesting thing to see. If they were both released at the same time, by the time the 100mph pitch reaches the plate, the 92mph pitch still has 4.5 feet to travel. That may not seem like much, but it is a huge difference when hitting.
The film does some scientific calculations based on some old data to determine who exactly is the fastest of all-time. Aroldis Chapman has thrown the fastest recorded pitch at 105mph, but is that the fastest ever? I won't reveal who they say the fastest of all-time is because I really think you should see the film. You can find it on iTunes, Amazon, or Netflix.

Our last move for a long, long time
Phew! I'm catching up these days after our recent move. Let me catch you up on that —
The day my 4th baby was born, we signed on a house. It was one of those houses that has good "bones" but you have to use your imagination to see what it can made into. By imagination, I mean A LOT of imagination. The little house needed a ton of work. And so within a couple of weeks of having given birth, renovation started on our little house. It took 9 weeks and finally it was done enough to move into. And so we did exactly that. Packed up and moved into the house! We are minimalists, we don't have a lot of "stuff" so we did the move ourselves and yet it took two days to finish it. And that same weekend, I also came to the store to teach a 5 hour Labor Skills and Techniques. Shhh…don't tell my husband this but I loved being able to sneak away to teach a class I love and then come back to missing out in 5 hours of unpacking (our wonderful sitter and friend had unpacked my kitchen). Best of both worlds!
And now it's been almost a week and a half since the move and we're getting settled into our little house. Notice how I keep saying "little house". Oh yes, it's tiny alright! But if you noticed as well, we're minimalist so we're as happy as can be!
Now time for me to get on trimming my daughter's curtains.

I am a fully qualified (to MA level) and BACP-accredited counsellor, with over ten years experience of short- and long-term therapy work.
I recognise that many of us go through difficult experiences in life, and counselling can often be helpful in addressing these challenges.
My aim is to create a safe, quiet, confidential space for you to discuss a pain or confusion which you might be experiencing, or a problem which you might want to address. I will listen to you attentively, supportively and patiently, and help you to explore your thoughts and feelings at a pace that feels right for you.
I respect that every human being is unique and individual, and so I tailor my approach to suit each different client's needs. To help in this, I counsel using a 'relational' approach, based upon 'person-centred' ways of being.
This means that I will try to understand your own felt sense of your experience as deeply as possible. Exploring things in this collaborative way can often help people to make sense of their own experience, and deal with any confusion they may be feeling. I also wish to be non-judgmental and accepting of you as a person. I will not tell you what to do, but instead help you to find the right way for you.
My training also helps me to help you to explore any childhood experiences or life events which might be limiting your potential or holding you back from living life to the full. Sometimes, negative thoughts also stop people from being happy or feeling content, and it can often be useful to work on these as well.
I work from a quiet, private counselling room in Wakefield (WF1), West Yorkshire. This is close to the town centre and public transport links, with pay-and-display car parking also close by. I can offer various daytime and weekend appointments.
Please note that I can help people individually with their relationship problems, but I do not offer couples counselling.
I am a registered, accredited member (052900) of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have worked as a counsellor since 2004, with a diverse range of clients, in long- and short-term counselling.
I qualified as a counsellor upon completing my Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling at Leeds Metropolitan University in 2006. I then studied for a Master of Arts qualification in Psychological Therapies at the same university, graduating in 2009.
I have also worked as a supervisor of counsellors since 2010, having gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Supervision from the University of Leicester. I am also a trained teacher, with PGCE qualification, and I taught counselling at introductory and certificate-level at two local colleges.
Member organisations
Accredited register membership
I charge £15 for an introductory session of fifty minutes. This will help us to discuss your needs, and help you to decide if counselling is for you.
I charge £36 for every fifty-minute session after that.
I offer a discount if a number of sessions are booked and paid for in advance. If you would like to discuss your payment options, then please contact me, and I will be happy to help.
I appreciate that it can be daunting when you are first thinking of having counselling. I would like to assure you of an understanding and respectful response if you choose to contact me, and I will be very willing to discuss your needs, and to explain how counselling might help you.

Where great work is born.
And desperate gimmicks die.
So you want to take your career as a creative to the next level? Well it takes a lot more than want to get a job in this industry. It takes passion. It takes skill. And, above all, it takes work. If your plan is to land a job by wowing a few people with your wit and ever-popular bar tricks at a networking event, then you should probably go ahead and close this tab. But if you're ready to get your hands dirty to show some of the biggest names in town you've got what it takes, then you've come to the right place.
NEXT is a low-cost, four-week portfolio enhancement program where you'll take one campaign from a creative brief to a super-comped, book-ready piece. And you'll have some of the industry's most well known (and well connected) talented helping you along the way. Not to mention, we'll be posting your work as we go. So you'll get great work and even better exposure.
2017 Spring session application deadline is FRIDAY, MARCH 24.

A Letter from Brian Suter
You just got out of another interview. You assume it went quite well. They even said, "We'll get back to you."
Then you wait. You double-check the resume you handed over just to see if your contact info is correct. And then you wait a few more days.
"You're all ready for the real world. You're gonna be a rock star." That's what your college professor said on graduation day.
"Your portfolio is beautiful!" That's what your mom said.
"I'd hire you in a second. Totally badass, man." That's what your friends said.
So why aren't you getting a call back from any potential jobs? Because your book sucks. You're not getting called back because your "amazing portfolio" is really a giant train-wreck. In college, "student work" meant fun, exciting, breaking the mold. Outside of college, "student work" means suck, super suck, and suck to the nth degree.
That was me. I left college expecting every agency in town to literally duel to the death in hopes they would be so lucky to have me work for them. I sucked. No, I super sucked. So I started over, again. Then failed, again.
I was getting desperate. I even thought about getting another internship just to whore myself out. Fortunately, there's this nifty portfolio program called NEXT. And, like any trusty pimp, NEXT took me in. NEXT gave me love. NEXT touched my creative side, and it was magical.*
The NEXT program was, by far, the best networking experience that's available in town. And it's cheap. All you need to do is put in some effort. Not only do you get to meet some pretty amazing creative directors and mentors, you get hands on experience presenting your ideas. My well-spent time with the NEXT program got me to where I am today. (I'm serious. Without the networking that NEXT provided, I wouldn't have met one of the mentors who introduced me to his creative director.)
So if you're sitting at home, wondering why you haven't landed that new gig yet, do yourself a favor—give NEXT a shot. It can only make you better. I can't promise NEXT will get you a job, but it'll open some doors that were once locked.
*There was no actual touching. I embellished that.
Good luck to all who participate.

Would you like to have/host your own Cuddle Party?
Do you need more touch in your life?
Do you have an ideal location for holding a Cuddle Party?
Do you like to have groups of people come to your home (or think that you might)?
If you answer yes to any of these, maybe you would be interested in being a host for a Cuddle Party.
I am a certified Cuddle Party facilitator and I will bring Cuddle Party to your home or location. I am happy to travel and facilitate a party for you (to anywhere, literally). To give you an idea of what is expected of a host and what you can expect from me as your facilitator, I have compiled this list of agreements. If you find these agreements agreeable, contact me and we can go over the specifics.
Cuddle Party Host Agreement
I am looking for homes or appropriate businesses that will host Cuddle Parties. There are a few things I expect and need for a good host location and a few agreements I offer to you as a facilitator.
My agreements:
- I will be the best guest I can be and follow any rules you have that I have agreed to.
- I will respect your home/room and treat it with more respect and care than I do my own.
- I will compensate you for the use of your home in an amount agreed upon before the event (unless you cancel). My rates have historically been $30 for 4 1/2 to 5 hours with two free tickets included for that event ($30 – $50 value). This does not apply to venues outside of the D/FW area. See below for more info if you are outside of Dallas/Ft Worth.
- I will bring plastic ware, plates, bowls, glasses, bottled water, paper napkins and/or towels and a few snacks.
- All messes and clutter created by the party/event will be removed per your instructions and your home or room will be returned to a like condition as it was before the party/event.
What I require:
- A clean home free of chemical scents (no candles, air fresheners, dryer sheets, perfume, cologne, etc.). This one is extremely important.
- If you have pets, they are kept away from the event and not allowed to be present during the event. If they become a distraction you will attend to them to minimize distractions from the event.
- A clean and stocked bathroom with at least two clean hand towels or paper towels for the guests and some kind of hand soap (scent free if possible, like Ivory).
- An empty or relatively empty trash bin (at least enough room for the evening's trash).
- Host should be free of alcohol or other substance influence for the event if they are attending.
- If children are present they can not participate in the event (unless it is a child specific event and then only with others their age and not adults).
If you are interested in hosting a Cuddle Party and these agreements are acceptable to you, please contact me and we can arrange a date that works best for you.
Additional considerations for venues more than 1.5 hours away from Quinlan, TX.
Everything is basically the same but there are a few additional requirements and agreements to consider.
- We will need some kind of accommodations for up to 3 people for the night after and possibly the night before (depending on distance traveled). It can be as minimal as the cuddle space floor as long as we have fluff. 🙂
- To reduce costs, no payment is offered to the host. However, two tickets are still offered for the host and one guest.
- There is a paid ticket minimum of 18 tickets for the event to take place without any cost to the host (cost would be a percentage of travel expenses only). A minimum of 12 paid tickets for the event to not be canceled.
- It would be helpful if you could send a few pictures of the intended cuddle space and snack areas along with open floor space cuddle dimensions (the space in front of your furniture. Not the whole room. Just the space available for floor cuddles.)
- Generally it is a good idea to have 4 – 6 weeks before the event in new areas that have not had Cuddle Parties before. A minimum of two weeks is a must but could result in a low turnout.
- It would be helpful if you are part of a group of some kind where you could share the event. Anything would work. Meetup, Facebook group, local Poly group, book club, etc. anywhere that we can share the event and be exposed to a lot of people in your area.

1993 religious freedom act is at heart of contraception case
By David G. Savage
Understanding the core issues of Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores
ASHINGTON (MCT) When the Supreme Court confronted the case of Native Americans who were fired for smoking an illegal drug during a religious ceremony, Justice Antonin Scalia called a halt to granting religious exemptions under the Constitution's protection for the "free exercise" of religion. It "would be courting anarchy" to permit "religious objectors" to ignore the law, he said.
But Democrats in Congress rose up to overturn his decision and to bolster religious freedom.
Backed by a broad coalition, including the American Civil Liberties Union and the Christian Legal Society, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act became law 20 years ago this month. It declared that the government may not "substantially burden a person's exercise of religion" unless it had a "compelling" reason to do so.
Now, that little-known law is at the center of a major "religious liberty" challenge to President Barack Obama's health insurance overhaul and its requirement that employers pay for full contraceptive coverage for their female employees.
Christian employers have gone to court, citing the 1993 law and saying they have a sincere religious objection to providing "abortion causing" drugs such as the "morning after" pill. And they have won before the U.S. appeals courts in Denver and Chicago.
The appeals court judges relied on the Supreme Court's much-disputed Citizens United decision that said corporations have the same right as people to make political contributions; they concluded that "for-profit corporations" can be considered "persons" with religious beliefs.
"We see no reason the Supreme Court would recognize constitutional protection for a corporation's political expression but not its religious expression," the 10th Circuit said in ruling for Hobby Lobby Inc., a nationwide chain of more than 500 crafts stores with 13,000 full-time employees. The company is owned by the Green family of Oklahoma City.
A new spotlight on an old and recurring question: When and under what circumstances can people cite their religious beliefs to avoid complying with the law? And thanks to the 1993 law, it will give the court's conservatives, including Scalia, a chance to deal a blow to Obama's health care law.
A lawyer for Hobby Lobby stores says the law made clear that religious beliefs are due special protection. "We believe Americans don't give up their religious freedom rights when they go into business," said Lori Windham, an attorney for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.
The First Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." The Supreme Court has long said this means Americans are entirely free to hold religious beliefs and worship as they choose. But they are not necessarily free to violate what Scalia called "neutral and generally applicable laws" because of a conflict with their religious faith.
In its first major "free exercise" ruling, the high court in 1879 upheld a polygamy charge against a Mormon leader in Utah and said that while the laws "cannot interfere with mere religious belief and opinion, they may with practices." But in the mid-20th century, a more liberal Supreme Court ruled for Jehovah's Witnesses, the Amish and other religious minorities who sought religious exemptions, including a Seventh-day Adventist who was fired for refusing to work on Saturday.
But Justice Scalia rejected this approach in the 1990 case of the Native Americans who had smoked peyote.
"An individual's religious beliefs (cannot) excuse him from compliance with an otherwise valid law," Scalia wrote in Oregon v. Smith. Sen. Edward M. Kennedy and then-Sen. Joe Biden were among the Democrats who led the drive to overturn to Scalia's opinion through legislation. In 1993, their bill passed by a nearly unanimous vote.
The pending case, Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby Stores, presents three major questions:
