When consumers and businesses think of online security, firewalls and passwords are likely to be the first things that come to mind, not data loss prevention (DLP)—at least not yet. Code Green Networks sees that changing, and the company expects to be a major player in overall adoption of DLP solutions. "We're still fighting an awareness issue out there of people becoming aware of the magnitude of the problem and the existence of solutions," says Daniel Udoutch, president and CEO of Code Green Networks. "It's getting easier by the day and by the week. DLP doesn't roll off someone's tongue the way firewall or password does."
In September, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Code Green Networks announced plans to expand beyond the small and medium-sized business (SMB) market into the enterprise market, and it brought Udoutch—whose resume includes positions with Netscape Communications and IBM—onboard to help guide the company through the expansion.
This growth plan certainly isn't a stretch for Code Green Networks. The company's founders, Sreekanth Ravi and Sudhakar Ravi, have strong roots in security products. They ran an internet security company, SONICWALL, Inc., for 12 years before founding Code Green Networks. "Much of the founding team that was with them for years at SONICWALL came to Code Green," says Udoutch. "The idea was [that] data loss prevention is a logical next-generation security product. Instead of keeping the bad guys out, it's keeping the good data in, realizing people are communicating and sharing data more than ever now through options such as web mail, Facebook, and wikis."
As a result, the implications for the enterprise company are huge. Code Green Networks is designed to help organizations safeguard both employee and customer information through these emerging electronic communication channels. "If you're running a large company and you have sensitive data like account numbers and Social Security numbers, you should care about if it's sitting out there on the laptops of your employees," says Udoutch. "You should care about if it's emailed. You should care if it's being posted to Facebook or MySpace. You should care if someone's copying it on to a flash drive. You should care if it exists in multiple file systems. Our notion is to identify the sensitive data and provide an integrated way to know where it is; where it's being sent, copied, used, [and] residing; and [to] let you take action based on any of that."
Udoutch stresses that Code Green Networks isn't abandoning the SMB market, but it is poised to serve an enterprise market that needs such solutions. "It really seems perfectly timed. The product is there and the company hasn't overspent on sales and marketing prematurely," says Udoutch. "We have about six to eight very strong competitors, and all but two of them have been purchased in the last year. We have the intention of being the strongest independent, dedicated stand-alone DLP provider. There's a huge market out there."
Udoutch says the fact that Code Green Networks' solutions work out of the box also helps set the company apart from the competition. For instance, he says, "we can drop [a shipment] into Taiwan, and [people] can just plug it in," explains Udoutch. "From an enterprise or architectural point of view, I think our biggest advantage is we're a totally integrated and complete solution."The advantages for Code Green Networks customers are both financial and legal. "What we're responding to is more than you do in most technologies," says Udoutch. "Many technologies address how do I do something faster, cheaper, better—ways that aren't necessarily disruptive; they're just evolutionary. The revolution side of DLP has been two things: the cost and pain caused by some of these high-profile leaks." Udoutch points to the well-publicized case involving retailer TJX as one example.
In addition, Udoutch notes that an increasing amount of state, federal, and industry-specific legislation related to data security has been appearing. On Oct. 1, 2008, a statute went into affect in Nevada that requires businesses to encrypt their customers' personal information. "It's going beyond best practices into now everyone from Main Street to Wall Street is at risk in terms of the digital world," says Udoutch. On Jan. 1, 2009, Massachusetts-based organizations that store residents' personal information on electronic devises, such as laptops, will be required to encrypt that data.
Udoutch notes the rewards of working for an organization that can help solve a problem that affects all consumers. Having a front-row seat in an emerging technology is equally rewarding. "Every employee here has a personal stake; and you're watching a growth area in a tech industry," he says. "There's a little bit of that 'feel good' feel."
Fun Fact: Code Green Networks holds participative get-togethers, such as rock wall climbing and go-cart racing. At the company's go-cart event, CEO Daniel Udoutch had the fastest lap time of anyone in the company. But, he had an edge—Udoutch previously took courses at an Indy driving school.

DWTS 15, Week 5 – "Guilty Pleasures Week" Schedule
Ok, I was getting hit with a lot of questions about this on Twitter last night, and as many times as I repeated myself – there still seemed to be the same questions over and over again…apparently people don't know how to navigate Twitter and look back on my timeline. And you guys know how I just LOVE to repeat myself ad infinitum < /sarcasm>. So here it is, all in one place, and the next person that asks me about next week's schedule on Twitter is going to get a link to this post along with the message "Read this, asshat." 😛
First, here's why next week is funky: the 3rd and final presidential debate is scheduled for Monday night between 9-10:30 PM EST…which basically kills the prospect of our usual 2-hour performance show Monday. They can't possibly cram 8 individual dances and 2 team dances into 1 hour, so instead of one 2-hour performance show next week – we're getting TWO 1-hour performance shows, on Monday & Tuesday. Consequently, there is no results show – and thus no elimination next week. Yippee hooray, we get two weeks of everyone who made it through last night's elimination! Good for some, not so much for others. But I digress…
From what I've been told, there's going to be 4 individual dances and 1 team dance each night – and each couple will be dancing both nights. However, they're going to alternate what nights the team dances are done, and what nights the individual dances are done. Let me explain. Let's say that Team Shawn does their team dance on Monday night – then the couples on Team Shawn will be doing their individual dances on Tuesday night. Likewise, if the couples on Team Gilles do their individual dances on Monday night, they will be doing their team dance on Tuesday night. Make sense? I kind of wish we could see the team dances on the same night (because I think seeing them back-to-back tends to deter the judges from lowballing/overscoring each team relative to one another), but I understand why they've done it this way – it ensures that we get to see ALL of the couples dance each night, and probably eliminates the need to rush, rush, rush to get everyone's costume changed after their individual dance. Remember, they've only got one hour – and they were cutting it AWFULLY close with the team dance picks on the results show last night (I blame Gilles, who felt the need to give a grandiose speech as to why he was picking each couple.) And before you ask – no, I don't know which team is dancing what night…yet. I have a feeling that will be determined after TPTB have had a chance to look at how the rehearsals are going, and determine which one fits better with what night, in terms of logistics (props, how much the judges will likely comment on a dance, how "buzzworthy" each dance is). We should know for sure on Sunday, after camera blocking. And please, don't ask me to speculate as to whether going first or second is better for the team dance – I'd normally say 2nd, but with the schedule being as funky as it is, I don't know that that's necessarily the case this time.
And now here's the big question I keep getting – and it's unfortunately the one I don't have a lot of information on yet: the voting. I don't know if there's still going to be voting or not, and if there is, what time the voting is going to start/end and how it's going to get tabulated into week 6's results – which, by the way, will be
another double elimination. And "country week". 😯 I know the scores given in week 5 will just get added to the scores given in week 6, and the percentage of points share will be calculated using the combined total points awarded in weeks 5 & 6. If you're thinking "Wow, that's a lot of points!" you are correct – and we all know that more points = tighter margins. So I daresay week 6's double elimination will ultimately come down to fanbase more than any other elimination, and we're going to get a good idea of who's really getting the votes and who isn't. And as for the voting – I'm guessing there will indeed be voting, and like the points from week 5, the votes will just get carried over and combined with week 6's. Not sure what the voting window will be – if it were up to me, voting would commence at the beginning on Monday night's show, and continue all day Tuesday, and then end at 11 AM EST on Wednesday morning. I think that would be the fairest thing, because it wouldn't give preference to either night – if there happens to be more viewers on Tuesday and we only see the members of Team Shawn doing their team dance on Tuesday, then I think voting that only happens on Tuesday would give an unfair advantage to the couples who danced individually that night, since they'd have more screen time. Make sense?
If I get any further information, I'll update this post in RED – so you might want to bookmark it, because I don't know how long I'm going to keep it stickied to the front page. I would advise everyone to go ahead and take a look at your DVR's now, though, and make sure you're set up to record for 1 hour from 8 – 9 PM on both Monday & Tuesday. I have AT&T U-Verse as my cable provider, and my DVR made the time adjustment and captured last night's show without a problem; but I've heard that those with Brighthouse have been having some issues recording the show this season, so some of you may have to manually go in and program your DVR to pick up the show. Just a friendly PSA from the folks here at Pure…cause PureDWTS cares 😉
ETA #1: Next week's arrangement just got a lot fairer for everyone 🙂 The show will only be live on Monday – Tuesday's show will be pre-taped. The way I had it explained to me, the couples from Team A will do their 4 individual dances, Team B will do their team dance, they'll roll the credits, keep the audience where they are, take a short break for Team A to change into their team dance costumes and Team B to change into their individual dance costumes, and then shoot Tuesday night's show ahead of time. That way, everyone has the same amount of time to rehearse, and the judges will be seeing the team dances the same night – which (god willing) will keep the judges (semi)honest. Another update? Double elim moved to week 8.

A few readers have asked about my daily schedule and how to accomplish making food from scratch, gardening, and homemaking while working part time and blogging. I've hesitated to write about this because, honestly, each of us is so different and our lives rarely look the same.
Plus, I firmly believe that some people just function better with more down time (the camp I fall into!), while others have no problem being on-the-go from dawn until dusk. Acknowledging this is important- we are all different and it's OK to not accomplish as much as the next person if you're doing all that you can with what you've been given.
So if it's a comparison- "she's doing all this, I should do more" or "she's sure wasting a lot of time" then I really don't want to put myself out there (just being honest here…). But if it's inspirational and encourages someone towards an organizational goal and helps to use time wisely, then I think it's a good idea.
I know I have been encouraged and challenged when other bloggers I read have shared how they organize their days- whether how to fit in exercise or blogging or whatever, so I'm going out on that perverbial limb and writing down my daily/weekly schedule. It is my hope that you will be inspired to find time to persue those things that are important to you, as well.
NOTE: The following schedule is the goal– life happens and there are many days that do not follow the timeline, but I really don't stress about it- it's a tool for me to make use of the time I do have that is available.
I teach part time, so my days look different during the week as well as during the school year vs. summer. They also look a lot different now than they did when my kids were younger. There are lots of seasons to life and adjusting to them is half the battle!
School-year weekly schedule:
Wake between 6:30-7 am- coffee, Bible reading, email
8 – Exercise, shower, etc.
9 – Breakfast, then bake for the week (bread, granola, granola bars, beans, prep for any meals, etc.)- every other week I also watch my little niece and nephew
11 – Computer time in between baking (on days w/o babysitting)- checking emails, searching, loading pictures, etc.
12:30 – Lunch
1-3 pm – School Prep and planning
3-5 – Blogging (I try to spend this whole time prepping & writing posts, if there's time at the end I will do more emails or check in with my network of blogging buddies)
5-6 – Dinner prep
6 – Family dinner (this is one of our important traditions)
7-10 – If we're home: family time, reading, knitting while watching TV with family, etc.
10:15 to 10:30 – this is my goal to be in bed, then I read until just after 11*
*I have trouble sleeping, which I know a lot of others do as well- it's important to keep good "sleep hygiene" which is doing the same things at the same time every night and being in a calm environment. One of the things that I've found that helps is to make my sleep efficient by NOT thinking I need to be trying to sleep for 8 hours. I turn the light off every night about the same time and wake up every morning between 6:30 and 7:00- no matter if it's the weekend or weekday. The days of sleeping in are long gone for me…and I find it does help- most of the time.
Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday
6:30/7am- Shower, etc., coffee & Bible, breakfast, email check
8:15-1:00pm – Teach
1:00 – Lunch
1:30-3 – Shopping, cooking, gardening or working around the house
3-5 – Blogging
5-6 – Cook dinner
6-10 – Same as Monday (except Wednesday is youth/church and Thursday is Cleaning Night)
6:30/7am – Coffee, Bible reading, email
8 – Exercise, shower
9-12 – Extended computer time for blogging, research, business end, template, and all that kind of thing.
12ish – Lunch
1-5 – Project time for house, garden, sewing, cooking (or shopping as needed)
6-10pm – Same as Monday
Weekends are for family and working on projects together so each really looks different, but the one thing I try is to not do any blogging on the weekends besides an hour on Sunday for the menu. This was an important change I made back in February when I felt like the blog was taking over my life (and my daughter said I was always on the computer…). Now I try to maximize the time I do spend blogging, but really try to keep to my self-imposed limits.
Summer Schedule
Summer for us means I have more time Monday through Thursday (no planning or teaching) for 2-1/2 months. There are A LOT of projects that get pushed to this time, for example this year here's a glimpse of what we hope to accomplish in the next few months:
- Dining chairs painted (finally!)
- Living room carpet torn up and wood flooring put down
- Master bedroom carpet torn up and torn-paper flooring applied
- Backyard deck makeover completed
- All the flower beds newspapered and mulched
- New kitchen counters, sink, and back splash installed + cabinets repainted
- Finish the pillows to match the comforter cover I made for my daughter
- Plus a million other ideas (and that ebook I keep mentioning in all my goals…)
SO…my goal through the summer is to keep a daily schedule that looks like my school-year Fridays- working on the blog in the morning and projects in the afternoons.
Of course then there are vacations…and before I know it, September is here. I sure hope we are able to get a lot of these checked off our list before then.

One thing many classic cocktails share in common is simplicity — less than four or five ingredients, little fuss, and lots of flavor. Case and point: The Mint Julep — Sugar, Bourbon and Mint. Simple, yet very flavorful.
As with many recipes, ingredient substitutions can lead to exciting new twists on classic cocktails. For my beeralicious twist on the Mint Julep, I opted to use honey syrup instead of sugar and basil instead of mint. The final touch was a shot of fizz and flavor from Bison Brewing's Honey Basil Ale — a virtually hopless organic beer with a beautiful golden amber hue.
Tasting Notes: Sweet honey and herbaceous basil meld together with soft vanilla and toasted oak Bourbon flavors in this refreshingly carbonated beer-inspired twist on the classic Mint Julep. Continue Reading

Next Year's Memorable Grand Event
Cede territory or pay reparations?
Lu Song practically thought that he had misheard; however, he heard Xuan Tian Ming say: "What is it? Was this prince not clear?"
Clear, it was very clear. It was such that many people heard it. At this time, they had turned their heads to look over. There were some that took pleasure in his misfortunes and others that began to feel dread. They just began to think, sure enough, his Highness the seventh prince's anger was not aroused for nothing.
But Xuan Tian Hua feared that he still could not understand, as he carefully explained what he had said: "The reasoning is like this, this matter brought around the governor mainly because it was the Lu family that framed imperial daughter Ji An for the murder of Lu Cuo. As for the governor, he performed the trial in public, and the truth was revealed. With the truth exposed, the person was not killed by imperial daughter Ji An. That's why this case was lost by the Lu family. Since it was a loss, you naturally must make a certain reparation to imperial daughter Ji An. That's why this prince is asking your Lu family, will you cede territory or pay reparations?"
Lu Song wiped away some sweat. He knew that he could not escape from this situation, thus he bit the bullet and asked: "May I ask your Highness Prince Chun, how should territory be ceded? How should reparations be paid?"
Xuan Tian Hua spoke very frankly, "Ceding territory would be handing over the deeds of all shops, residences and farmlands owned by the Lu manor. This prince will not take all of them. Only half of them will be taken, but this prince will be choosing which ones. As for reparations, that will naturally be in silver."
Lu Song was sweating even harder. Half of his deeds? And he would be choosing them? Then wouldn't all of the good ones be taken! What would the Lu family eat in the future? He immediately made a decision. This was no good. He absolutely could not cede territory, thus he summoned his courage to ask: "Then for paying reparations, how much would be paid?"
Xuan Tian Hua calmly said: "As for reparations, this sort of reparation to imperial daughter Ji An has been done before. Thinking back, Qian Zhou paid, and Zong Sui paid the court with her help. That's why this prince thinks that the basis of the payment exists."
Lu Song was startled: "Your Highness!" He really was afraid, "Qian Zhou paid imperial daughter Ji An five million taels of gold! Even if this official added on the lives of our family, it would not be that much gold!"
Xuan Tian Hua nodded, "Naturally, this prince will not trouble you too much. That's why the reparations for you will only be five million taels of silver."
Lu Song inhaled sharply. Five million taels of silver, this seventh prince really was cunning. The amount was within what he could endure, but it was also a very painful amount to pay. There were currently only two ways out. The first path, he could offend the seventh prince, which meant offending the ninth prince, imperial daughter Ji An, the eldest prince and the second prince, all princes that he wished to have good relations with. The second path was to happily hand over five million taels of silver. Although it was not the entirety of the Lu family's fortunes, it truly did touch its foundations. Although the Lu family would not suffer any difficulties from losing five million taels, they would not be able to act as freely as they had in the past.
Lu Song stood in place while frowning. He had already begun to make considerations for when the five million taels of silver were gone. How would the Lu family do its best to regain the five million that it had lost the fastest. But as he pondered, a cold sweat appeared, as something was off! He could not pay in silver.
He had not been in his position as a standard first rank official for very long. The salary of an official was there for all to see. His Lu family's income from his shops was also there for all to see. This amount of income from honest origins did not match up with the manor's actual income! Also, who knew what sort of method Lu Yao had used to trick granny Gui into saying that she was pure. This was a hit to imperial daughter Ji An's face. If he really used this amount of money, it would be inevitable that he would be noticed by these princes that wanted to vent for Feng Yu Heng. They would make the connection and know that he had been guilty of corruption.
Thinking like this, Lu Song's heart nearly leaped out, as he thought to himself that he had fallen for it. Thus he was no longer hesitant, as he said to Xuan Tian Hua: "This official will cede territory and will immediately send someone back to fetch the deeds."
A servant from the Lu family quickly ran back to the manor under his orders. When they returned, they held a box in their hands filled with the Lu family's deeds.
Xuan Tian Hua knew that there was no way for Lu Song to fake these. All of the deeds had copies in the government office. Of course, if the Lu manor had a portion of these copies under the names of others, those could not be investigated. But looking at the things that were brought up, Xuan Tian Hua felt that there was at least 80 percent.
He looked through these things carefully and carefully verified each of them. From time to time, he would ask Lu Song: "This shop is the one that's 20 li outside of the Eastern corner of the capital?"
Lu Song repeatedly nodded.
Feng Yu Heng felt a desire to gossip and wanted to go over and take a look; however, she was stopped by Xuan Tian Ming, quietly telling her: "Don't worry. Seventh brother won't let you eat a loss. Just wait and see how a deity will scam a bit of wealth for you."
She covered her mouth and smiled, saying: "This wealth really came easily. If it always goes like this, I really am too eager for someone to complain about me to the government every day. When they lose, I gain a bit. It's much faster than earning on my own."
Xuan Tian Ming angrily rolled his eyes. What sort of wife was this? Could she show a bit of maturity? In any case, she was also a dignified imperial daughter. Why was it that she spent every day thinking about money? Her space was almost a treasure trove. Under the imperial daughter's manor, it was also filled with gold and silver. Why was she still not satisfied. Just how much of an appetite did she have! He thought about it carefully. He did not know whether or not Da Shun's treasury should be left to her to manage in the future. This woman would not spend all day sitting in the treasury counting silver while ignoring him, right?
Feng Yu Heng could not understand what Xuan Tian Ming was thinking about. She was entirely focused on watching Xuan Tian Hua's side. In just a few moments, she saw that half of the deeds were already being held in his hand. At this time, the remainder were put back inside the box, which was then handed back to Lu Song. He then raised the ones in his own hand: "Half, not a single one more, does lord Lu wish to count them once more?"
Lu Song felt sore for a long while; however, he did not dare count no matter what was said. He just repeatedly said: "No need, no need, the ones chosen by your Highness can be verified with the government."
"Un." Xuan Tian Hua nodded. Only then did he look toward Feng Yu Heng, putting away the cold look that he had put on while looking at Lu Song. In an instant, his expression returned to the usual peaceful and smiling face. He handed over the deeds to her: "Take a look to see if you're satisfied. If you're dissatisfied, seventh brother will have them add more."
Naturally, Feng Yu Heng was happy to hear these words, but Lu Song was crying on the inside. Was ceding this much not enough? Would it still depend on imperial daughter Ji An's mood? If this girl shook her head, what would his Highness the seventh prince ask of him? His calves tightened slightly. Sure enough, the people of the imperial family could not be offended. Regardless of whether it was the explosive ninth prince or the gentle seventh prince, both would become like demons when unhappy. Neither was one that could be offended.
As he thought about it, he could not help but glare sideways at Lu Yao. He just thought that this entire matter was a result of that girl. For the sake of her having a glorious wedding, the Lu family had sent more than just a few gifts to the Yao family. Who knew that the family's well being would also be added in.
But just as he glared at Lu Yao, he found that Lu Yao was also looking at him. Her gaze was filled with even more venom than his. It was filled with a hatred that could not be ignored. He suddenly recalled that matter with Lu Cuo many years ago, thus he knew that this matter was one where the family had let down this daughter. The earlier anger also subsided slightly.
Forget it, she had already married into the Yao manor. In the future, he would rely on her future relationship with Feng Yu Heng. Regardless of which prince ended up ascending the throne, he would have two treasures up above. The Lu family would not just have one source of glory.
At this time, Feng Yu heng casually flipped through the deeds and nodded with great satisfaction. She then said to Lu Song: "Lord left prime minister, this imperial daughter will immediately send someone to the government office. Let's have the deeds transferred today!"
Lu Song quickly pulled in his thoughts and said: "Of course, of course."
But Feng Yu Heng seemed to have recalled something, as she turned her head and waved to Yao Jing Jun, "Eldest uncle, come."
Yao Jing Jun was not clear on the purpose and went forward, but he heard Feng Yu Heng say to him: "After all, the matter occurred in the Yao family. A-Heng does not want these things. They will all be considered reparations from the Lu manor to the Yao manor. Eldest uncle, take a trip with prime minister Lu. Quickly have them transferred to the Yao family's side." After she finished speaking, she glanced at Lu Yao and loudly said: "These things will be given to the Yao family, but regardless of whether it's now or in the future, it will never be placed under eldest cousin's name. Does eldest cousin have any objections?"
Of course, Yao Shu understood what Feng Yu Heng's words meant. If they were under his name, that would mean that they would return to Lu Yao's hands. He understood this reasoning, thus he very happily nodded: "It is as younger cousins says."
Yao Jing Jun did not think that Feng Yu Heng would hand over so many deeds without any distress. In shock, he sighed over how generous his niece was. Over the years, their Yao family had heard about some things from the capital, saying that their niece was different from before; however, he never thought that she would be different to this degree.
"Eldest uncle." Feng Yu Heng simply placed the deeds in his hand, "Take them. A-Heng can't help with the other things. Hold onto these to help supplement the family." As she spoke, she turned to look toward Xuan Tian Hua: "Seventh brother won't blame me, right?"
Xuan Tian Hua laughed and said: "The things were given to you. Seventh brother is only responsible for getting them for you. As for how you use them, that's your choice."
A measly 20-odd deeds left the Lu family in pain. To Xuan Tian Hua, however, it did not count as much. Yao Jing Jun did not continue to argue; moreover, Yao Xian had also spoken up: "Take them! Heng girl gave them to you, so what are you being obstinate for? Either way, she will be getting married next year. We will need to provide a dowry for her."
With things being said like this, Yao Jing Jun did not hold back. Happily putting the things away, he simply went with Lu Song to the government office.
As for Yao Xian saying that she would be getting married the next year, this caused Feng Yu heng's little face to turn red. Looking around at everyone present, everyone seemed to have come to a realization. The next year would be when imperial daughter Ji An became of marriageable age! Coming of age meant getting married. This was something that the ninth prince had said before. The capital would have an extremely memorable event the next year.
In an instant, everyone had changed their focus and began happily speaking of Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tian Ming's grand wedding.
Xuan Tian Ming was very happy to hear this and was extremely pleased. This caused Feng Yu Heng to angrily glare at him.
However, at this moment, a male servant hastily ran in from outside the manor. Behind him was a person that looked like a guard. That guard arrived at Xuan Tian Hua's side and leaned over to whisper into his ear. Xuan Tian Hua's expression immediately sank once more, as he stood up and left without saying a word.

'My 600-lb Life' Star Shared Cryptic Post Before He Was Found Dead In Ditch
By Hayden Brooks
August 9, 2018
Personal social media remains accessible even after you pass away, as seen with My 600-lb Life star "L.B." Bonner's recent death, which was ruled a suicide, as per a coroner's report on Wednesday (August 8).
Still, the death of the South Carolina resident has some investigating his recent social media posts shared prior to his death. "I just want to say thank you to everyone who has shown me love and support throughout my journey...I've realized a few things over the last few days and its time that, I face my demons head on," he wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. "No matter what you change or the efforts you put forth in life, sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and deal with things your own way...Again, thank y'all so much... Please don't ever let people you care about not know how you feel.
Meanwhile, another post, which depicted the late Robin Williams, suggested that Bonner was dealing with some internal struggles. "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.," the post read.
In case you haven't caught up, Bonner's body was found with a gunshot wound in a canal at a park in Lexington, South Carolina last Thursday (August 2). He was 30. Having appeared on My 600-lb Life, Bonner succeeded with his weight loss goals, dropping from 642lbs to 316lbs after surgery and lots of hard work. Radar Online even reported that he may have weighed within the 200-pound ballpark at the time of his death.

DENVER (AP) — The field goal kicker from Adams State University thought about her range for a moment.
On the field, it's at least 54 yards, which is how far she connected on one during practice. In the arena of opening doors for other female football players, she hopes it's endless.
Rebecca "Becca" Longo became one of the first females to receive a partial football scholarship a season ago.
Given all the media attention surrounding her, the team elected to redshirt her.
This season, the 19-year-old remains in the running to be the starting kicker for the Division II Grizzlies, who open the season this weekend at Colorado School of Mines.
Longo's already heard from former Colorado/New Mexico kicker Katie Hnida as well as Jennifer Welter, who served as an intern assistant coach with the Arizona Cardinals.
Like them, she wants to break through the gridiron glass ceiling. Like them, she wants to be a trendsetter.
"I get a lot of messages asking for advice and I say the same thing: 'Don't stop, because somebody tells you you're not qualified or you can't do something," Longo said in a phone interview from Alamosa, which is about 235 miles southwest of Denver. "I don't know how many people told me I couldn't play football and I should stop and give up. I look at where they're at now and where I'm at. I mean, had I listened to them, I wouldn't be where I am today."
She's a multi-sport athlete at Adams State, joining the basketball team last season and planning to give lacrosse a try this season.
Of course, football is her main priority. As a redshirt last season, she spent the time honing her skills. And while she connected on a 54-yarder in practice, she's known for her accuracy — nailing 40-to-45-yarders over and over again.
Since Day 1, she's felt accepted by her teammates, calling them a "big family ."
Around campus, she feels nothing but support.
"Last year, everybody was really super excited to see me kick," said Longo, whose dorm room is decorated with sea shells and beach-themed art work she painted. "I'm hoping that's the same energy this year."
Her acceptance? It's no surprise to Welter, who runs a gridiron girls camp that's been conducted in 15 cities over the last 11 months.
"Game recognizes game. She got there because she can kick," Welter said. "That's the beauty of football. It's the ultimate meritocracy — if you can play, we want you."
Longo already has a plan in place for when she makes her first kick: Sprint after the ball, tuck it under her jersey and hand it to a friend on the sideline, who will run it to the team bus.
It will have to wait a week with fellow kicker Erick Ruiz getting the start at Mines. The job, though, is based on a week-to-week competition and subject to change.
She's tight with Ruiz and punter John Bowers. The three amigos make dinner and have movie night all the time. The other day, the menu was chicken parmesan with a horror film. It's usually a horror film.
"They've accepted me for me," said Longo, who moved from Riverside, California, to Arizona when she was around 9. "We're all really close. Once you step off the field, everybody is a best friend."
Longo ventured into football as a sophomore in high school. A soccer player, she was looking for another challenge. Her first kick in a junior varsity game was good, even if she can't remember it.
"Blacked out," she said of her excitement . "But there's video of it."
On game days, she proudly wore her football jersey around the halls of school.
The teasing started.
"They'd post pictures on the internet and say, 'Is that her jersey or her boyfriend's?'" she recounted. "I got laughed at the entire year. They were cool and I wasn't."
Longo ended up transferring to Basha High School in Chandler, Arizona, and sat out her junior year. As a senior, she made 35-of-38 extra points and her only field-goal attempt — a 30-yarder.
She reached out to Adams State and was eventually offered a partial scholarship. She accepted.
Then, the media frenzy started, which included an appearance on "Good Morning America." She's been heralded as a pioneer and a role model.
"It's always flattering to have people look up to you," she said. "But it's also scary, because what if you mess up?"
She's had plenty of former female players reach out. Like Hnida, who attended Colorado before transferring to New Mexico. On Aug. 30, 2003, Hnida kicked two extra points for the Lobos against Texas State. Her shoes and uniform are in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Welter chatted with her as well. Welter was a running back for the Texas Revolution — a professional indoor football team — and later served as the team's linebackers/special teams coach. In 2015, she made history by becoming an assistant coaching intern for the Cardinals for training camp and into the preseason.
"It's amazing to see Becca kicking down doors and for all of us who have been in the game. We walk a little taller, we definitely clap a lot louder, scream a lot louder, knowing that she has this world and so does every other girl coming after her," Welter said. "Every single one of us is pulling for her every single day."
When Longo steps between the lines, she's not Longo the female football player. She's simply Longo the kicker.
"I've done this for so long, so when I'm on the field, I am one of the guys, because that's how they treat me," Longo said. "But sometimes, I'll walk on the field by myself and think, 'I'm playing college football. How crazy is that.'"

"Jimmy McDonough's fat, teeming, obsessive, and revelatory biography of Young is a pure shot of all-access pleasure. . . . Hugely original." —Los Angeles Times Book Review
"Just as unmanageable, hard-headed, overzealous, and ultimately endearing as Young himself . . . A maddening, beguiling portrait of an elusive maverick . . . A glorious mess." —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
"An exhilarating match-up of author and subject makes Shakey a great, gripping read. . . . A must-read for anyone who cares about Neil Young." —Rolling Stone
"Staggeringly thorough . . . McDonough gets it all: the chaos, the grandeur, the good times and dreary deaths, the alcohol- and drug-besotted recording sessions, the broken hearts, and the sheer unfettered joy of a seriously gifted artist." —Salon
"The definitive book on the subject." —The Washington Post
"Exhaustive, quarrelsome, and sometimes maddening . . . there are revelations in abundance." —The New York Times Book Review
"Where the average rock-star biography is a tepid, toothless thing, McDonough has approached his task like a literary Terminator, steaming ahead with lethal thoroughness. One of the most penetrative studies of a rock icon ever written." —Times (London)
"A mammoth portrait of the artist and lively exhumation of rock n roll history. . . . [McDonough] traces a rich turbulent career in vivid detail." —The New York Times
"Imaginatively written…not only is Shakey an extraordinary literary feat of research and affection and endurance, it's an insight into the art of biography itself."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Delves further into the life and motives of one of music's most private individuals than anything previously released. . . surprisingly comprehensive and thoroughly enjoyable. . . .The most detailed portrait of this shrouded artist to date." —San Jose Mercury News
"Exhaustively researched, impressively detailed. . . The long passages in which McDonough steps aside to let Young talk are the most revealing. 'One day I'm a jerk,' Young says, 'the next day I'm a genius.' This book argues artfully for the latter."—People
"Like meeting Brando's Kurtz in a cave at the end of Apocalypse Now. . . . Young comes across as a Jekyll-and-Hyde loner whose life has unfolded like a reckless chemistry experiment — a control freak on an endless quest for the uncontrolled moment." —Macleans (Canada)
"McDonough is an avid fan, music critic and impartial journalist all in one. . . . [He] deftly weaves Young's life, actions and art together. . . . What was known of Young's life before was akin to a series of rough demos. In Shakey, McDonough delivers a full double-album." —Rocky Mountain News
"Does what most rock bios don't: It fails to fawn, it delivers the juice, it subjects the hero to the scrutiny and disappointment of a fan. . . A page-turning good read.."—Houston Chronicle
"Fascinating reading. . . McDonough gives us as good a look at [Young's] cards as we're likely to get." —The Tampa Tribune
"[Shakey's] unprecedented access makes for an entertaining read: McDonough, more than any music journalist since Peter Guralnick in his authoritative Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley, has succeeded in stripping a star of his iconography."—The Observer (London)
"Crammed with razor-sharp insights and mind-boggling detail, Shakey is a rock-solid literary triumph, as inspired and inspiring as the eccentric figure it evokes with such frustrated devotion." — The Guardian (London)
"McDonough . . . pores through Young's life with vivid prose and blunt detail, and he is unashamed to insert some stinging opinions. In his probing conversations with Young, . . . he challenges the formidable artist in ways that few others would dare." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"It's hard to imagine anyone trying to better this book. . . It has what Young values above all else. . . passion."—Evening Standard (London)

Washington, DC - Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today that more than $354 million in funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is being awarded to 22 states to support energy efficiency and conservation activities. Under the Department of Energy's Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) program, these states will implement programs that lower energy use, reduce carbon pollution, and create green jobs locally.
"This funding will allow states across the country to make major investments in energy solutions that will strengthen America's economy and create jobs at the local level," said Secretary Chu. "It will also promote some of the cheapest, cleanest and most reliable energy technologies we have - energy efficiency and conservation - which can be deployed immediately. Local communities can now make strategic investments to help meet the nation's long term clean energy and climate goals."
States receiving funding today include: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Texas, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Today's awards to the State Energy Offices will be used to support state-level energy efficiency priorities, along with funding local conservation projects in smaller cities and counties. At least 60 percent of each state's award will be passed through to local cities and counties not eligible for direct EECBG awards from the Department of Energy. The EECBG Program was funded for the first time by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and provides formula grants to states, cities, counties, territories and federally-recognized Indian tribes nationwide to implement energy efficiency projects locally.
Energy efficiency and conservation projects that are eligible for awards include the development of an energy efficiency and conservation strategy, energy efficiency audits and retrofits, transportation programs, the creation of financial incentive programs for energy efficiency improvements, the development and implementation of advanced building codes and inspections, and installation of renewable energy technologies on municipal buildings.
Transparency and accountability are important priorities for the EECBG program and all Recovery Act projects. All grantees have specific measures they must take before spending the full amount of awarded funding, such as ensuring oversight and transparency, submitting a conservation strategy to the Department of Energy, and complying with environmental regulations.
Throughout the program's implementation, DOE will provide strong oversight at the local, state, and tribal level, while emphasizing the need to quickly award funds to help create new jobs and stimulate local economies. Communities will be required to report regularly to DOE on the progress they have made toward successfully completing projects and reaching program goals.
For a full list of awards to date, visit www.eecbg.energy.gov.
The following states are receiving their state-level EECBG awards today:
ALABAMA - $10,350,200 awarded today
Alabama will put its EECBG Recovery Act funding toward a range of programs which will improve energy efficiency and conservation statewide. These programs will lead to substantial energy and cost savings, while creating or retaining green jobs. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) will distribute these funds to local cities and counties, along with non-profit organizations and cooperative groups in the state. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis for a wide variety of projects, including financial incentive programs like revolving loan programs, traffic signal and street lighting replacement, and energy efficiency retrofits. For instance, the revolving loan program will provide low cost loans to local municipalities, industries, and businesses for energy-efficiency improvements and conservation programs. This initiative will provide sustainable investment of EECBG funds that will continue to create and retain jobs, provide energy and cost savings, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions well into the future.
ARIZONA - $9,593,500 awarded today
Arizona will use its Recovery Act EECBG funding to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and encourage development, promotion and application of advanced building codes and green buildings statewide. Eighty percent of these funds, which will be administered by the state's Energy Office, will be distributed to local cities and counties to implement their own energy efficiency programs. Local governments will be selected for funding through a competitive process, focusing on projects that demonstrate a high return on investment, leveraged funds, a shared community project approach, jobs created, and interactions with community colleges and technical and trade schools. The state will also use funds to oversee and manage projects and provide technical support. These Recovery Act-funded projects will reduce energy usage and costs, increase the use of renewable energy applications within communities, and create jobs across the state.
ARKANSAS - $9,593,500 awarded today
Arkansas will use its Recovery Act EECBG funding to provide technical assistance to Arkansas' industries, public institutions and local governments to enhance energy efficiency and identify opportunities for job creation to support these efforts. These projects will lead to substantial energy and cost savings, and create or retain jobs statewide. Sixty percent of the funds Arkansas receives today will be distributed to local cities and counties that were not eligible for direct funding from the Department of Energy. These local communities will be competitively selected for funding, with an emphasis on highly-leveraged projects and regional collaboration. The Arkansas State Energy Office will use this funding to establish a grant program for small cities and counties in Arkansas to reduce carbon emissions, as well as provide information about energy efficiency and conservation projects. A website will be developed to provide administrative information as well as links and other resources about energy efficiency topics and technologies for potential applicants. The state's remaining funds will be used to support programs to improve energy efficiency in state infrastructure and provide home energy audits to help improve residential energy efficiency.
CALIFORNIA - $49,603,400 awarded today
California will focus its Recovery Act EECBG funding on cost-effective, energy-efficiency projects that will create hundreds of jobs and provide lasting benefits into the future. The state plans will deliver at least 60 percent of the funds to local cities and counties for a range of activities, including energy audits, efficiency retrofits, financial incentive programs, and traffic signal and street lighting upgrades. The remaining 40 percent of the state's funding will be used to supplement funding for small cities and counties, as well as to further state energy efficiency priorities. To facilitate programs in communities without extensive technical expertise, California will offer communities a number of pre-designed energy efficiency measures and technologies they can purchase.
