Doesn't have to be a follower too. You can remain anon. :-)
- Mione? Is everything okay? You didn't even touch your plate, Potter said, worried.
- I was just thinking that I might have to quit a class if I want to have more time to prepare my NEWT examinations, she lied.
The young man didn't answer, even though he felt like she wasn't telling the entire truth and to avoid any awkwardness he changed subject, bringing the topic back to their schedule. This year the gryffindors had the displeasure to share lots of classes with the slytherins.
Hermione sighted and looked toward the other side of the great hall again. As soon as the blonde rose his eyes toward her and noticed that she was staring at him, she hurried to turn her head not to cross his glance. She pretended to care about what her two best friends were saying and damned herself for her childish reaction. Why was she thinking that much about the slytherin since she had seen him in the hogwarts express a few hours ago?
There was something different about him. He had always been despicable, yet this year he was even worse. His despicableness had somehow turned into something even darker. Maybe it was this darkness that was attracting the young witch.
But once again, he had always been wrapped into some kind of dark halo. Why was it so suddenly appealing? She had to admit that he had changed over the summer. Draco was now taller and thinner. And yes, he was attractive. But how could Hermione be attracted to Draco?
That very same Draco who spent 6 years calling her mudblood, looking down at her, making her life a true hell whenever she had the misfortune to bump into him in empty hallways; that very same wizard who also tried, or at least really seemed to have tried, to kill one of her best friend several times.
But actually, she didn't hate him. Not that much at least. She felt sorry for him. Sorry because of the family he had to grow up in, sorry because of the fake friends who were surrounding him since he first came at hogwarts. And right now she felt truly sorry for this skank who was literally eating his face to show everyone that she was his girlfriend. Could it be possible that Hermione was actually jealous of whatshername?
- Shall we go Mione? the redhead said, interrupting her thoughts.
She simply nodded and stood up, asking Ginny if she was done too so that she could join them and go back to the dormitory with her. She needed the weasley to tell her everything about her relationship with Harry; she desperately needed something to fill her thoughts. Anything but something related to Draco.
- Ugh, have you seen how Pansy was with Draco? Ginny asked. It was disgusting! She really does look like a pug. I pity her though; I don't even know how she can love him. Yuck.
- Maybe he's nice after all, Hermione simply answered. She didn't want Ginny to keep talking about the slytherin; she needed to stop thinking about him.
Maybe it wasn't something she should worry about; after all it meant nothing at all. She just bumped into him, and for once he hadn't been mean to her; he just looked at her. Maybe she was so used to his despicable behavior that the simple fact that he didn't bother to insult her felt like the nicest thing he had ever done. But why didn't he insult her?
Damn, what was happening to her? She crawled into her bed and hided her head under the red and gold blanket; after a good night of sleep everything would be clearer in her mind, she was sure of that.
Instead of kissing someone on new years I'm gonna punch someone in the face

Should I force myself to go to baby showers while I'm trying to get pregnant?
I've been trying to conceive for a while now, and it seems like all of my friends are getting pregnant. I'm torn about attending their baby showers. It's emotionally draining for me, but I feel bad because if I ever get pregnant I'm going to want all of my friends to celebrate with me. Should I just force myself to go?

I attend because I cannot help but feel happy for the people that are blessed with their miracle. Living life so sour because you are dwelling on negativity will only enhance your feelings of hopeless and helps no one - including yourself!posted 08/25/2006 by MauiChick
I think if you have a complete love for your friend, then you shouldn't be feeling so upset by the fact that she is pregnant and having a shower and you are not. It is hard to wait and try and wait and try for something that you want so badly but at the same time, would you wish that your friend wasn't pregnant at all? It really sounds like you are worrying too much about what's going on with your friends and their showers and worrying about the fact that they're pregnant and your not, instead of seeing the big picture. We are all diffrent, we all have trials and we should be so greatful for the great things that are happening in our own lives. Keep trying and know that you have the right to feel frustrated for your own situation, but be truely happy for those who are pregnant. They may have pregnancy but you may have something that they wish they had. Don't miss out on supporting your friend just because they have something you are trying hard to get. You know what they say...... "if you are unhappy or depressed about a situation you are going through, get out in the world and do something for someone else."posted 08/23/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I know what your feeling, my husband & I have been tring for over 2 years, people say stop thinking about it and "Boom!" your pregnant is full of crap. All I can give you and some words of hope..that your not alone..although I can't give u any advice, all I can say is I understand and I wish you luck and love.posted 09/07/2005 by Destinyrain2005
I think that you should go and be supportive of your friends, I am sure that they are and will be supportive of you when you do get pregnant.posted 09/07/2005 by kim19014
Don't go, those events are mostly just centered around the mother's desire to "show off" her pregnancy anyhow and get "stuff". If you think you can handle it, go...but it isn't worth the pain you might feel afterwards. If they really care about you as friends or family, they will understand. If not, they aren't worth your time anyhow. I am pregnant right now and I am not having a baby shower. Why? I think they are annoying to a majority of the people and that they make infertile women feel bad. I wanted a baby for years and must have went to over 20 of these events over the past five years. Very painful and very annoying every time I got an invitation. Nothing personal to the mothers or their new babies, I just could not relate and did not enjoy these events. I went though because I didn't want to "let anyone down." Don't put yourself through it, just don't go if you don't want to. To those of you who know women without children who do not show up at your baby shower, understand that they are happy for you but they do not feel blessed like you are. You need to understand the pain of others and enjoy your blessings. Do not be cruel to these women. They are hurting, they need your understanding. If you are mean to them, you will lose a friend or family member. If you have already been so cruel, you need to apologise and hope that they will want to be your friend still. Because, if you get mad over this type of thing..the woman may never forgive you because her pain over not having children is so deep. Even if she eventually gets pregnant, she will still not forgive you because she hurt so bad and those memories will always be with her. She needs understanding more than you do. I have heard that the emotional state of a infertile woman or a woman who thinks they could be infertile or a woman who is not "allowed" to have children by her husband and desperately wants children is about equal to cancer patients. The amount of dispair is so deep. She probably needs more support than you do. I know I needed more support then (when I thought I was infertile) than now that I am pregnant. And, that is when I had the least support. Not surprisingly now that I am pregnant everyone wants to "be there" for me. You know what, I don't want them around anymore.posted 10/07/2004 by removed_25-mar-2009 07:38:37 am
Jan, You are really having a hard time. This is what I have seen that helps. I would go and get support from your local church, synagogue or if you're not religious, therapist. They can offer spiritual support (prayer) and stories of hope that will make you feel better. One such not-for-profit organization is called "Stephen's Ministry" and a trained lay person "ministerer"will spend regular time with you to meet for coffee/tea or whatever, just to listen, for a season in your life. It's not therapy. I think this support program was started by the Lutheran Church 20+ years ago. It's non-denominational, meaning you can find it in Catholic, Presbyterian, and many other church denominations. They have an excellent reputation. If you are more of an extrovert, there is a group called "Covenant Groups", but might also go by other names depending on the church you go to. In my church, it was called "Mustard Seed" groups. You sign a confidentiality and code of behavioral (conduct) contract to not share the member's secrets and to be non-judgemental to the other members. Every person is allotted a certain period of time to speak, so no one dominates the conversation and there is a study agenda. The group picks a book (bible study) to read. Once my group chose to study the various types of Christian Meditation, which roots in Judaism, which is actually much older and more helpful than Eastern Mediation (at least in my experience), because it helped me to see my life from a healthier, more accurate perspective. I also learned that sometimes when we get so focused on one thing that we want, we forget to tend the rest of the plants in our garden, like our marriages, our friendships, and taking care of ourselves. Just because one plant isn't growing in our garden, doesn't mean the rest of the garden isn't flourishing or doesn't need care. And if you sit there 24 hours a day, seven days a week staring at the spot where the tiny seed hasn't decided yet to grow, all the sunshine, the rain, the cool breezes of life will pass you by and you'll wake up one morning to find you have to de-weed and replant your entire garden from scratch, and you will have killed all the grass in the place where you were sitting. --Okay, I've gotten a little symbolic here, but you're a very bright girl and you'll figure out the message. And when all else fails, ask God, the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, not Buddha or Mohammed, because he's the Great Physician, the Healer of the Brokenhearted and He's the one who can do miracles or claims to do miracles on behalf of his followers when medicine, psychologists and everybody else can't, and He's not going to tell you to be at peace with yourself that this is happening to you because you were a bad person in a previous life and you just have to endure the suffering to attone for your sins so someday you can reach Nirvana 10,000 lives from now or to tell you that you have to perform wierd forms of either physical or psychological self-flagellation to beat the dark side out of yourself. While there might be a lot of good things in either of these religions, they're basically not very helful when you are struggling with conditions that are beyond your control and out of your hands. The Judeo-Christian God is only one who claims to be able to help you and and actually wants to help his children here while they are alive on this earth. And I wouldn't be surprised, if in the process, you find lessons so valuable that one day, other women will be turning to you for help when they are struggleing. Pure Gold. You are worth more than your weight in pure gold. Look up the annealing process of the gold purification process, and you'll see what I'm saying about you. Take care. Gotta run!posted 07/18/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I don't think you should go if you feel unstable or emotionally drained. Some people never concieve, and as sad as that may be for you it may be reality. A friend of mine tried for 10 yes 10 years and concieved, I've heard the advice and cliches but maybe you should work with moving on with your life and when it happens it happens. Maybe some councelling or adoption?posted 08/21/2007 by Jacci1975
I know it must be heart-wrenching to have to sit through your friends' baby showers, but I think you have to think about how you would feel if it were your shower. If it is someone you are really close to, they probably really want to have you there supporting them and celebrating with them. Yes, you have a good reason not to go, but for those close friends, I'm sure they will understand how hard it must be for you and will be all the more blessed by your presence. If you just can't bring yourself to go, be sure to communicate with your friend honestly about the reason why, so that they don't feel slighted. Also be sure to express your happiness for them and make sure they know you don't begrudge their blessing. For those you aren't as close to and don't go to their showers, maybe you can go visit at the hospital (or at their home) with a gift, if that is any easier for you. I'm sorry you have to go through such pain, and pray that your hope will not be deferred much longer.posted 09/27/2007 by salemteacher
Jan, I know that nothing that we say will make you feel better. But I had 2 miscarriages before I got Pregnant with my son, and meanwhile some of our family got pregnant by mistake and hated the idea of being pregnant. You just have to ignore your feeling and go. if you stop trying to have a baby all the time, then you will get pregnantposted 05/23/2007 by brycesmom7112006
The babyshowers are not about you. If they r for good friends I wud go to share in their joy. If I dont care abt them I wud probably not since it wud not b worth it.posted 05/22/2007 by a BabyCenter Member

Bowe to take Ulster bow
ESPN Staff
September 27, 2012
Tommy Bowe (centre) will start for Ulster on Friday © Ulster Rugby
British & Irish Lions Test winger Tommy Bowe will start his first game in the RaboDirect PRO12 for more than nine months on Friday after being named in Ulster's starting line-up for their match with the Cardiff Blues.
The match will be first time supporters of Ulster get to see the Ireland winger in action after he rejoined the province following his four-year spell with the Ospreys. Bowe played for the province back in the 2003-4 season up to the end of 2007-08 campaign before making the switch to the Welsh region. In that spell, Bowe established himself as one of the northern hemisphere's premier finishers at both domestic and Test level.
But Bowe's Ospreys career ended prematurely just after Ulster's announcement that he was to re-join the province. He was forced to undergo an operation in April to remove a haematoma that was pushing into his kidney and causing him raised bloody pressure - his final game for the Ospreys was against Biarritz back in January.
It will be an emotional occasion at the Cardiff Arms Park on Friday evening as it will be the first game the province have played since the tragic death of Nevin Spence.

Celebrities Recall Brushes with Graham in Billy & Me
- Wednesday, February 13, 2013
He said, "I have a story for you, Michael. Last night President Obama was sitting in the chair you are sitting in." I was blown away. "What was he doing here, Billy?" I asked. (I was finally calling him Billy!)
"Well, he wanted to come and see me. He called from the Oval Office. The Secret Service was all around, you know, but he walked in by himself, sat down there, and we spent half an hour together."
"What did you talk about?"
"We talked about the country, and this, that, and the other."
"Do you think he's a believer?"
"Well, I believe the man knows the Lord. We prayed together, and before he left, he asked me if he could pray."
And Billy was impressed with the depth of the president's prayer.
Sojourners Founder Jim Wallis, recalling Graham admitting to being nervous in addressing Harvard students in 1999
Billy said, "Jim, I'm really nervous tonight."
"Why in the world would you be nervous?" I replied.
"I feel very weak physically, and am not sure if I will be effective answering questions from these Harvard students."
At that moment, I had such a feeling of great warmth for him. "Billy, they slept overnight on the sidewalk to hear you preach," I said. "The room is full. They're not here to eat your lunch. They're here because they want to tell their grandchildren they were in the same room as Billy Graham."
His vulnerability, his humanity, was so much in evidence in that moment, and I had the chance to do what many of us have known with our aging parents -- to give something back to them. I said, "I'll be sitting right in the front row, and I'll be praying for you the whole time. So if you get nervous, just look down and you'll see me there praying for you. They're here to hear from you. Just speak from your heart, from your soul, and they're gonna love it."
He gave me a hug and he went up to the podium, and a couple of times as he was speaking he looked down at me, and I put my head down and prayed for him.
Of course, despite his doubts, Billy gave an incredibly brilliant, statesmanlike talk about faith and public life.
Saddleback Church Founder Rick Warren - President Obama asked me to pray the invocation at his inauguration, so I promptly went out and bought a nice hat from a store in West Hollywood. But I left it in a hotel room a few days later and it was stolen. I was disappointed, but had no time to buy another. To this day, I still don't know how Billy found out about my hat loss. But about a week later, an unexpected package arrived at my home.
Inside, carefully wrapped, was a beautiful black Homburg hat from Billy Graham! It was the hat Billy had worn at the inaugurations where he'd prayed! Attached was this note: "It's your turn, Rick. It's your hour. This is your hat now." Tears filled my eyes. Once again I saw the greatness of my mentor, his deep love for others, and his encouraging heart.
I wore Billy's hat when I prayed on the Capitol steps at that 2009 inauguration. Billy was unable to attend, but once again, his influence was present.

Programming Languages Table
Many years ago, Capers Jones and SPR developed a function point (FP) estimation technique called "backfiring" wherein a table of common programming languages was produced identifying the approximate number of logical source statements (not to be confused with physical lines of code) of each language that correlated roughly with a single function point. Of course, as even novice FP counters know, there is no such thing as a single FP. FP values come in small groups of three, four, or more, depending on the functional type and relative complexity. So it should be apparent that backfiring is at best theoretical.
Still, as an everyday aspect of human nature, we like to find easy solutions to complicated problems, and let's face it FP counting can be complicated if one does it right. Unfortunately, backfiring never was and never will be a completely satisfying alternative for FP counting, although it has the virtue of being superficially easy--too easy, it turns out. Most readers miss the fact that Capers has always been very careful to point out in his writings the high probability of error when using backfiring values straight out of the table.
In our consulting practice, we can observe no consistent, discrete, definitive relationship of logical source statements to function points that has universal application. Local development practices and the way languages deliver functionality differently will always make backfiring a troublesome, dangerous enterprise – especially if the backfiring is not meticulously calibrated to local conditions.
The reason function points were invented in the first place those many years ago at IBM was that the line of code (LOC) metric was becoming less and less useful as a reliable, portable, apples-to-apples software sizing metric. That was in the late 1970s. Nothing has happened since then to make LOC more universally meaningful. In fact, if anything the idea of a "line of code" itself has become virtually meaningless. So, if a synthetic metric not based on LOC were needed in the 1970s, why would anyone – anyone – use LOC metrics today? More astonishing, though, is that if one has faith enough in one's LOC metrics, why would one bother to convert them to function points? That person is still just using the LOC count by another name.
Because backfiring at its very best is an extremely high-order estimation technique, we strongly discourage its use in virtually every conceivable circumstance. It is especially unsuited to sizing enhancement projects, where the correlation between new LOC and "new" FPs, changed LOC and "changed" FPs, etc., simply doesn't exist consistently from coding language to coding language. For example, "changed" functionality in FP terms can actually require "new" LOC to deliver. Nevertheless, people seemingly will do anything to avoid counting FPs properly. This raises the fundamental point: if one has no desire to count, and one has faith in one's LOC data, why bother to translate the LOC count to FPs? (Assuming the LOC were actually counted and not guessed at – a lot of people don't want to count anything at all.) But that's a rhetorical question.
Makes one wonder, though, if maybe people aren't trying to hedge in on the scientific "cachet" of function points without really doing the work.
With the foregoing hazards firmly established, the table is now available through our fee-based subscription offering. The specific details follow.
Just remember: as with so many other things in life, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Sooner or later, real counting will need to be done.

Search a suitable generic or branded drugs, if you could not find the prescribed medicine. This site does not supply any medicines. It contains prices for information purposes only.
You should consult a doctor about the dosage before using this medicine!
Sorbitol - Visorbin (Sorbitol) is a laxative. It is used to treat constipation.
Visorbin (Sorbitol) may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Vitamin B6 - Pyridoxine is vitamin B6. Vitamins are naturally occurring substances necessary for many processes in the body. Pyridoxine is important in the breakdown of protein, fats, and carbohydrates from foods into products needed by the body.
Pyridoxine is used to treat or prevent Visorbin (Vitamin B6) deficiency. It is also used to treat a certain type of anemia (lack of red blood cells). Pyridoxine injection is used to treat some types of seizure in babies.
Pyridoxine taken by mouth (oral) is available without a prescription. Injectable pyridoxine must be given by a healthcare professional.
Pyridoxine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Visorbin (Vitamin B6) (pyridoxine) is a water-soluble vitamin used in the prophylaxis and treatment of Visorbin (Vitamin B6) deficiency and peripheral neuropathy in those receiving isoniazid (isonicotinic acid hydrazide, INH). Visorbin (Vitamin B6) has been found to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in a small group of subjects with essential hypertension. Hypertension is another risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Another study showed pyridoxine hydrochloride to inhibit ADP- or epinephrine-induced platelet aggregation and to lower total cholesterol levels and increase HDL-cholesterol levels, again in a small group of subjects. Vitamin B6, in the form of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, was found to protect vascular endothelial cells in culture from injury by activated platelets. Endothelial injury and dysfunction are critical initiating events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. Human studies have demonstrated that Visorbin (Vitamin B6) deficiency affects cellular and humoral responses of the immune system. Visorbin (Vitamin B6) deficiency results in altered lymphocyte differentiation and maturation, reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses, impaired antibody production, decreased lymphocyte proliferation and decreased interleukin (IL)-2 production, among other immunologic activities.
Indication: For the treatment of Visorbin (Vitamin B6) deficiency and for the prophylaxis of isoniazid-induced peripheral neuropathy.
Pernicious anaemia, peripheral neuritis especially diabetic and alcoholic polyneuritis, trigeminal neuritis, vomiting of pregnancy, vitamin B complex deficiency, anorexia, agranulocytosis, radiation sickness, coeliac and idiopathic, steatorrhoea which are usually accompanied by malabsorption of vitamin B 12 and during administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics.
Vitamin B12 - Cyanocobalamin is a man-made form of vitamin B12. Visorbin (Vitamin B12) is important for growth, cell reproduction, blood formation, and protein and tissue synthesis.
Cyanocobalamin is used to treat Visorbin (Vitamin B12) deficiency in people with pernicious anemia and other conditions.
Cyanocobalamin may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Visorbin (Vitamin B12) refers to a group of water-soluble vitamins. It has high biological activity. This medication is necessary for normal hematopoiesis (promotes maturation of erythrocytes). Involved in the processes of transmethylation, hydrogen transport, synthesis of methionine, nucleic acids, choline, creatine. Contributes to the accumulation in erythrocytes of compounds containing sulfhydryl groups. Has a beneficial effect on liver function and the nervous system. Activates the coagulation of blood in high doses causes an increase in the activity of thromboplastin and prothrombin.
Cyanocobolamin or Vitamin B12 activates metabolism of the lipids, carbohydrates and proteins, participate in the biosynthesis of the labile methyl groups, choline, methionine, creatinine, nucleic acid. Vitamin B12 contributes to accumulation of certain compounds with sulfhydryl groups in red blood cells. Being growth factor Cyanocobolamin stimulates the functional condition of the bone marrow improving normoblastic erythropoiesis.
Cyanocobolamin also normalizes functions of the liver and CNS, activates blood coagulation, increases the activity of prothrombin.
Visorbin (Vitamin B12) refers to a group of water-soluble vitamins. It has high biological activity. Visorbin (Vitamin B12) Wiedemann Pharma is necessary for normal hematopoiesis (promotes maturation of erythrocytes). Involved in the processes of transmethylation, hydrogen transport, synthesis of methionine, nucleic acids, choline, creatine. Contributes to the accumulation in erythrocytes of compounds containing sulfhydryl groups. Has a beneficial effect on liver function and the nervous system. Activates the coagulation of blood in high doses causes an increase in the activity of thromboplastin and prothrombin.
Indications: Visorbin (Vitamin B12) deficiency.
Neuropathies, psychiatrics disorders, cutaneous sarcoid.
Tobacco amblyopia - hydroxocobalamin is of some benefit.
Ferrous Pyrophosphate - Indications: anaemias
Folic Acid - Pharmacology: Required for nucleoprotein synthesis and maintenance of normal erythropoiesis; precursor of tetrahydrofolic acid, which is necessary for transformylation reactions in the biosynthesis of purines and thymidylates of nucleic acids.
Indication: Megaloblastic anemia caused by Visorbin (Folic Acid) deficiency, as may be seen in tropical or nontropical sprue, and in anemias of nutritional origin, pregnancy, infancy, or childhood.
Used for: Treating certain types of anemia. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Visorbin (Folic Acid) is a vitamin. It works by helping the body to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Visorbin (Folic Acid), a water-soluble B-complex vitamin, is found in foods such as liver, kidneys, yeast, and leafy, green vegetables. Visorbin (Folic Acid) is used to diagnose folate deficiency and to treat topical sprue and megaloblastic and macrocytic anemias, hematologic complications resulting from a deficiency in folic acid.

Version 8 of the IBM Global Security Toolkit (GSKit) component can integrate with and exploit hardware cryptographic devices that support the PKCS#11 industry standard.
Hardware PKCS#11 devices offer a variety of features across operating system platforms. Please refer to the PKCS#11 device vendor for specific details of their offering. Some of the most common features include:
- More secure key storage and protected usage (some with tamper detection).
- Offloading of CPU intensive operations to device hardware. For example, most devices support asymmetric key operations.
- Some devices are capable of load sharing when more than one of them is installed.
GSKit's use of PKCS#11 is limited to those functions (where available) required for secure communication via SSL:
- Asymmetric key generation and secure storage
- Certificate storage
- Asymmetric key operations (Sign & Verify, and Decryption during SSL key-exchange)
- Random number generation
- Hash functions (i.e. digest calculation)
- Symmetric key operations
Trust Anchor Certificates (Root Certificates) should only be stored on the device where the device offers Certificate modification/replacement protection via the setting of the PKCS#11 CKA_TRUSTED attribute. The support and setting of this attribute is vendor-specific. If in doubt, do not use the PKCS#11 device for Trust Anchor Certificate storage but rather use a GSKit key store.
The GSKit component team performs interoperability testing on specific hardware, firmware, and driver levels for each device. IBM product teams typically test on a subset of these devices. If an integration problem is found, the IBM product team, IBM GSKit component team, and the PKCS#11 device vendor will work together on defect resolution. All IBM product defects should be reported through the standard IBM product support channels.
Operating system platforms
This article does not cover z/OS® or OS/400® variants of GSKit. In general, the list of platforms an IBM product integrates with a PKCS#11 device is the intersection of the IBM product's supported platforms and the PKCS#11 device's supported platforms. Known exceptions are noted below in the section "Card observations" or in IBM product documentation.
Hardware cryptographic devices tested with GSKit, Version 8
Refer issues regarding installation and configuration of these cards and software to the device vendor.
- SafeNet
- LunaSA HSM
- Sun®
- The on-chip cryptography within the Sun Ultra-SPARC T1 and T2 CMT processor (Solaris 10 on Sparc)
- Thales
- nShield 6000e F2 PCI-Express (Solo)
- nShield Edge
- nShield Connect
- IBM Crypto Express3 (CEX3)
- IBM 4765 PCI Crypto card
Observations on specific cards
nShield 6000e F2 PCI-Express (Solo) and nShield Edge
- Set the environment variable CKNFAST_OVERRIDE_SECURITY_ASSURANCES to "import;silent". This setting is required when using an nCipher device for symmetric key operations when enabled with GSKit. In this mode of operation, GSKit directly creates the SSL Session Key as a PKCS#11 Session Object during the SSL handshake. Despite the security override being required, no security issue is caused as the SSL Session Key is created by GSKit as part of the SSL handshake. nCipher devices do not provide Symmetric Key acceleration and as such, GSKit should not be enabled for the mode of operation when using nCipher devices unless absolutely required.
- The GSKit testing statement is restricted to Linux on zSeries and GSKit 126.96.36.199 or later must be used. Please refer to SystemSSL documentation for z/OS crypto device information.
- There currently exists an issue with this device and GSKit FIPS mode of operation. Until the next FIPS certification round (i.e. until gsk8ver indicates that both of the ICC instances within GSKit are higher than version 8.0.n.n) GSKit v8 cannot be operated in FIPS mode with this device, and the FIPS ICC support that resides in the lib/C or lib64/C directory of the GSKit install must be removed or renamed.
nShield Connect
- The GSKit testing statement is restricted to cipher suites that include the RSA algorithm and 220.127.116.11 or later must be used.
IBM 4765 PCI Crypto card
- The GSKit testing statement is restricted such that only asymmetric operations may be used.
So GSKit SSL environment setting GSK_PKCS11_ACCELERATOR_MODE must not be set to either

Martin's parents said their son made the pleas for help that witnesses heard.

|Post a Comment
What did Zimmerman say on the 911 call? » On one of Zimmerman's calls to police that night, he muttered something under his breath that some listeners say sounds like a racial slur. Others, however, say the recording is not clear enough to determine what Zimmerman actually said.
Who is investigating? » Sanford Police have turned over their evidence to local prosecutors for them to decide whether Zimmerman should be charged. The Justice Department and FBI have opened a civil rights investigation. Several members of Congress have called for the case to be investigated as a hate crime.
Why didn't police arrest Zimmerman? » Zimmerman claims self-defense, and Florida is among 21 states with a "stand your ground law," which gives people wide latitude to use deadly force rather than retreat during a fight. The Florida law lets police on the scene decide whether they believe the self-defense claim. In many cases, the officers make an arrest and leave it to the courts to work out whether the deadly force is justified. In this case, however, police have said they are confident they did the right thing by not charging Zimmerman.
Security video shows Zimmerman being led in handcuffs from a police car after he fatally shot Martin, though he was eventually released without being charged. An attorney for the teen's family said it appears that Zimmerman does not have injuries to his face and head in the video, contrary to claims made by Zimmerman's supporters.
What could the charges be? » If Zimmerman is charged, he could most likely face second-degree murder or manslaughter charges at the state level. If convicted of the second-degree murder charge, he could potentially face up to life in prison because a gun was used.
Federal prosecutors could charge Zimmerman with a hate crime if they think there is evidence he was motivated by racial bias. That charge can carry the death penalty in the most severe instances, or up to life in prison.
Federal prosecutors could also accuse Zimmerman of using his official authority to violate Martin's rights — known as a "color of law" case — but they would have to prove that Zimmerman was acting in some official capacity, similar to a police officer or government official. Zimmerman was a volunteer neighborhood watchman.
When will prosecutors decide whether Zimmerman is charged? » It's unclear. A spokeswoman for the special prosecutor who has taken over the local investigation said it could be weeks before they decide. Special prosecutor Angela Corey has three options: She could present the case to a grand jury, which would decide whether Zimmerman should face charges; she could charge him without the grand jury's review; or she could decide not to bring the case before the panel and not charge him.
Norm Wolfinger, the prosecutor who recused himself from the case, had planned to convene a grand jury to review the case April 10.
It is also unclear when the Justice Department will make its decision.
What is George Zimmerman's racial and ethnic background? » Zimmerman's father is white, and his mother is Latina.

About dogs and cats
I've been making my way through all the works of Elizabeth von Arnim, who wrote The Enchanted April. I can't exactly say why I wanted to read all 21 of her books, as well as her biography, but I find E. (as I tend to call her) a kindred spirit in a lot of ways, and I am charmed by her curiosity, generosity and perspective.
So I wasn't too surprised in her autobiographical study of dogs entitled (plainly enough) All The Dogs of My Life, to read that she opens with this sweeping introductory accolade:
I would like, to begin with, to say that though parents, husbands, children, lovers and friends are all very well, they are not dogs. In my day and turn having been each of the above — except that instead of husbands I was wives — I know what I am talking about, and am well acquainted with the ups and downs … which seem inevitably to accompany human loves.
Dogs are free from these fluctuations. Once they love, they love steadily, unchangingly, till their last breath.
That is how I like to be loved.
I think all that is true. Being pack animals, dogs look to their alpha dog for affirmation, information and direction. Lacking an alpha dog, God has ordained in His majesty that they look to a human and, if he or she is deemed the alpha, they extend that same level of intense connection.
I was the recipient of those great waves of trust and obedience from Clementine the Hound-dog, and I totally get the attractiveness of this bond. But I don't understand why so many dog people have a blind spot where other pets, especially cats, are concerned.
In E's book, she wrote of her childhood cats this way:
One likes response, and there is very little of that to be got out of them. Lofty and aloof, forever wrapped in remote, mysterious meditation, they allow themselves to be adored, and give hardly anything back. Except purrs. I admit purrs are enchanting, and I used to long to have one myself, but just purrs don't nourish the hungry human heart in search of something to fill its emptiness, … Besides, how chilling, how snubbing, to be merely looked at when one calls. No blandishments could make those cats stir if they weren't in the mood, and one does want whatever one is calling to come. More, one wants it to come enthusiastically, ready for any lark going. One wants, that is, a playfellow, a companion, a friend. One wants, in fact, a dog.
She doesn't pretend that that's anything but one woman's opinion, but I've heard other feline-challenged people say things along those lines. Personally, I don't get that whole "They're so aloof" thing. I'm just as likely to be swamped in feline affection on a given day as I was in canine affection. But cats — and for that matter, birds — have a different way of showing it. Most cats are their own fur person, as opposed to looking to an alpha or the pack, and so they're not likely to evince the kind of behavior that we interpret as unconditional love.
I think that E. gets to the bottom of the dog-lover's reproof when she says that they don't come when you call. But to me that's like saying that cats don't wag their tails enough. No, they don't, because they're working with a different set of instructions. But it doesn't mean, as I heard one young Christian say it, that dogs are reminders of our beginnings in the Garden of Eden and cats are reminders of the pride that got us kicked out.
Dogs are what they are, and cats are what they are, and WE add the coloring. If we meet our pets in heaven, I wouldn't be surprised if the first object of their affection isn't their erstwhile master or mistress, or even another cat or dog, but their Creator. After all, it was from Him that all their instructions proceeded, except for those few additional ones that were channeled through their human.
We can learn a lot from either species, and from the many other animal friends we might meet. I intend to try and to add as little of my own head-trash to the lessons as I can.

"If we meet our pets in heaven, I wouldn't be surprised if the first object of their affection isn't their erstwhile master or mistress, or even another cat or dog, but their Creator. "
Oh, my! What a thought! And as it should be! But certainly not what most of us would have come to at first thought. We have made ourselves the center of their universe. We have made ourselves to be gods! A new form of idolatry – and perhaps much worse than worshiping one.
Thank you for setting us all straight!
Well, let's not assume I'm correct about that too far in advance. But I admit, it was a thought that came to me when I was observing, for the umpteenth time, that there is something just weird going on with people who own aggressive dogs. Whether it's a man or a woman, I have felt time and time again like they do lip service to being upset that their dog is threatening you or biting or barking (and some people don't even bother with the lip service — some will turn on you and tell you why it's YOUR fault their dog is behaving badly). But I imagined those people in heaven, if that dog showed fealty first and foremost to its Maker. I think they'd actually be furious. I'm not sure what I'm saying there, but I think somehow I'm right.
I love the word "head-trash." Gonna look for a way to squeeze it into conversation this week.
I forget when I first started hearing this, but as you say, once you hear it, you instantly see how useful of a word it is. It replaces the more problematic 'bullsh*t', without any of the negatives of profanity.
God has and does uses dogs in mysterious ways. Wanting my own spiritual father that I can pester and blame for answers and then point to when things don't go my way, I have prayed fairly consistently (at least measured in terms of how I pray) for a spiritual director. I have yet to be endowed with or trusted with my very own elder(ess). I attribute this to an outworking of God's grace as He knows that I am not anywhere near the point that such a person would be of true help (I understand that I am still on the interstate, have not gotten off that superhighway onto the much narrower and arduous trail that calls for such inner exertion).
However, He has condescendingly blessed me with not one but two (two I supposed because of my neediness) spiritual guides of the four-legged terrier or honestly described, terrorist variety, Betsy and Layla. ….

Movie Review: Where the Wild Things Are
The Charlotte Observer
A picture really is worth a thousand words, or at least a few hundred ill-chosen ones.
In Maurice Sendak's beloved book "Where the Wild Things Are," Max became king of an imaginary land of growling beasts and "tamed them with a magic trick of staring into their yellow eyes without blinking once."
In the film written by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers, he tells them he'll blow up their heads if they don't make him king. Aha, one replies. What if we find a way to prevent that? Well, then, Max replies, he has a secret machine that will prevent them from preventing him, and so on and so on. And as they speak, the mystery of the story dissipates like fog in the noonday sun.
A feature-length film naturally had to expand on the few hundred words of Sendak's narrative. (Or did it? Why make it at all?) So Jonze, who also directed, and Eggers imposed a larger vision on Sendak's compact jewel of a story.
But it's a blurry vision that comes into focus only intermittently. Young viewers may exult in the rare moments of physicality and identify with the fine performance by Max Records, who embodies his angry namesake. Mature folks may wonder why a simple and simply beautiful story from their youth has been buried under layers of emotion Woody Allen's psychiatrist might want to pick over.
Director Jonze starts brilliantly: We see Max trying to interact with his older sister's friends, whose boisterous and dismissive attitudes make him cry, and with his loving but busy mom (Catherine Keener), who's trying to fit a new boyfriend into her life.
Max bursts out of the house in one of his too-frequent rages and takes a boat to the island of Wild Things, where Sendak's drawings come to life: The forest and desert environments look right, and the huge creatures' costumes are virtually perfect realizations of the book's illustrations. But the magic dies when we realize that we're on the island Where the Wild Things Are Diagnosed.
Carol, voiced by distractingly recognizable James Gandolfini, is a bipolar creature with abandonment issues. (He's like Tony Soprano with literal fangs.) He's fond of K.W. (Lauren Ambrose), who drifts morosely in and out of the group. Judith (Catherine O'Hara) is overly assertive, Ira (Forest Whitaker) feebly passive. Nobody listens to mopey Alexander the Goat (Paul Dano), and Douglas the Murmuring Chicken (Chris Cooper) seems to have been medicated almost to a coma.
Jonze and Eggers plop Max among creatures who represent many childhood anxieties: fear of exclusion, of being mocked, of having a true self that remains unseen, of being more or less invisible altogether. But these aren't Max's fears: He's full of rage. Nothing on the island teaches him how to control it or channel it into a healthy path, so we don't feel he's made progress when he returns home.
In the most bizarre section, K.W. captures two tiny, blank-eyed, frightened owls named Bob and Terry. All the beasts except Max and Carol claim to understand them and say they're geniuses, though they squawk incomprehensibly.
Bob Daly and Terry Semel ran Warner Bros. in 1999, when the studio mishandled the release of the underrated "Three Kings." Jonze starred in that movie, so he may be working out his own infantile grudge with this long, dull in-joke. I wonder if Sendak, who was also one of the producers, knew he'd be getting "Where the Wild Shrinks Are."
Film adaptation of a children's classic is handsome, draggy and vague.(Full review)
People, We are talking of a 330 +or- a word or two, childrens fantasy story. The way Jonze has adapted this story and turned it into one with a plot, "unlike the book" reminds us again of his brilliant mastery of insanity and the art of storytelling. In today's view of the "High Tech", and low attention spans, it is incredible that this story even made it onto the silver screen in the first place and to make without the cheezefest
that most fliks now have, it is truly refreshing. So take off the weeney hat, Take the little bus to the shallow end of the pool and delve deep within your own hidden child and re-live that time in your life when monsters under the bed were real. When you knew there really was a place, Where the Wild things Are and you were King.... Maybe next, Jonze could tackle Steven Kings "The Talisman".
My kids hated it! I hated it! Stay Away!!!
Very depressing movie overall. Quick synopsis of movie is, crazy kids runs away from home and travels by boat to a desserted island where he finds depressed and defeated monsters. He claims he is all powerful and can make them happy. They make him king and everything he does to make them happy he messes up and eventually one of them tries to eat him. He leaves the island and goes home and is greeted by his mom who falls asleep while he eats cherrios. THE END!
Taking my daughters I was excited to share something that to do this I can easily recall and reminds me of happier, safer times. So to see this movie as horrible as it was left me very dismayed and for my daughters the look of shear displeasure made it all the worse. We saw it on the IMAX but with all the motion and shaky camera scenes it made all of sick on our stomach.
Stay away and remember it with fond memories, savor it and dont destroy it.
The Jim Henson costume/puppets were great and the visuals were really up there but why did the beasts have to sound like a bunch of emotional hippies? Disney should have finished the animated movie version for this they were working onback in the 80s. It showed a lot more promise. You can even view some of the tests here on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LvIDRoO8KnM
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I found this comment a little ironic; "Nothing on the island teaches him how to control it or channel it into a healthy path, so we don't feel he's made progress when he returns home." Of coure, Spike Jonez only directed Adaptation (the Kauffman twins wrote it...haha) but this exact idea was one of the central themes of the movie.

HAMMOND, La. (AP) - Tangipahoa Parish public schools students will see a day added to the school year to make up days missed because of Hurricane Isaac.
The Daily Star reports the School Board voted this past week to extend the school year through May 24. The last day for teachers will not change, Superintendent Mark Kolwe said.
Teachers were surveyed about whether to cut days from the Mardi Gras break or to add instructional minutes to regular school days to make up the time missed, and they voted overwhelmingly to add minutes, Kolwe said. Beginning Oct. 1, each school will add five instruction minutes, which won't modify the school calendar.

At Sparrow, we acknowledge the many different expressions of the holiday-filled season.
Please take the time to learn, explore and enjoy the abundant array of holidays listed below:
A Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on Dec. 25. This worldwide celebration is expressed in many different customs and traditions, such as attending worship services and exchanging gifts.
Diwali is the festival of lights that takes place in October or November. It symbolizes the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. People light their homes with clay oil lamps, colorful lights, and children burst firecrackers to welcome Laxmi the Goddess of prosperity and wealth.
The Jewish festival of rededication is also known as Chanukah and the Festival of Lights. It commemorates the miraculous recapture of the Temple of Jerusalem from the Syrian Greeks of the Maccabees in 165 B.C. Another miracle occurred when the Maccabees came to rededicate the temple. To commemorate the miracle, the Menorah is lit for the eight days of Hanukkah.
A Swahili word that means "first" and signifies the first fruits of the harvest. Many people of African descent in America celebrate Kwanzaa from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1. Kwanzaa is a time to reflect on seven basic principles of Umoja, Kujichagalia, UJima, Ujamaa, Nia, Imani, and Kuumba. It is a time to share and enjoy the fruits of our labor and recommit to the collective achievement of a better life for family, community, and people.
New Year's
Civilizations around the world have been celebrating the start of each New Year for at least 4 millennia. Today, most New Year's festivities begin on Dec. 31, the last day of the Gregorian calendar and continue into the early hours of Jan. 1. Common traditions include attending parties, eating special food, making resolutions and watching fireworks.
Ramadan is observed by more than one billion Muslims around the world. Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification achieved through fasting, self-sacrifice and prayers. Celebrated during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, the fast is observed each day from sunrise to sunset. Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five Pillars of Islam. Ramadan concludes with a three-day festival known as "Eid" or "Eid ul-Fitr," which literally means "the feast of the breaking/to break the fast." The festival marks the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and is a culmination of the month-long struggle towards a higher spiritual state.
Spring Festival
Also known as Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year, this is an important social and economic holiday in China. It is a time to honor household and heavenly deities, as well as ancestors, and bring together family for feasting.
St. Nicholas Day
The Dec. 6 feast day in honor of the historic fourth-century saint "Nikolaos of Myra." He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him. St. Nicholas became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comes from the Dutch. Saint Nicholas is revered among Catholic and Orthodox Christians. He is also honored by various Anglican and Lutheran churches. Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as "Nikolaos the Wonderworker" and "St. Nikolai, the Miracle Creator."
A holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November. It has officially been an annual tradition since 1863, when during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated. The event Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated to give thanks to God for guiding Pilgrims safely to the New World. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 13 Pilgrims and 90 Native Americans.
Yom Kippur
Jewish Day of Atonement. It is one of the holiest days in the Jewish religious calendar, a day of reflection and repentance when Jewish people atone their sins from the past year. The holiday is marked by a day-long fast, and observant Jews attend synagogue services. Yom Kippur falls on the tenth day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, ten days after Rosh Hashanah. The two holidays together encompass the period known as the High Holy Days or Days of Awe.

Rounding the bases, we pass by this week's only Top Performer. Home Plate Diner at 3515 50th St. gets a perfect score this week with zero critical violations. "We have high standards here at Home Plate Diner. I mean each employee knows what they're supposed to do and we try to keep them doing that from day to day," says Manager Paul Radloff.
Radloff says he and the assistant manager have both graduated from the safe serve course, and they apply those policies to the restaurant. He also says this food temperature log book, which is updated three times daily helps make sure food is always at safe temperatures.
Radloff says it's all part of the game plan to make sure customers feel like their dining experience here is a winner. "That they have a clean restaurant when they come in, and that it's clean and presentable and you know it's just a good pleasant experience when they come in and dine with us."
Now on to the low performers. Starting at Samburgers at 4447 34th St. Inspectors found four critical violations.
Other violatons included shelves being lined with cardboard, damage to a ceiling fan in the dining area and missing end caps on light shields. The manager at Samburgers told us the refrigeration unit went out the night before the inspection. He also said everything has been corrected and they are in good shape.
Our other Low Performer is Sunie Oriental at 809 University. Inspcetors found four critical violations. Violations including:
Management at Sunie Oriental told NewsChannel 11 that because they only have one door at their restaurant, it's hard to control flies getting inside and when customers come in, sometimes, so do flies. They said they have put out several more fly traps to try and control the problem, and all other violations have been corrected.

Bachelor Pad Season 2: Confirmed!by Free Britney at . Comments
Despite fans' lukewarm reaction and critics' mediocre reviews (at best), ABC is totally running back Bachelor Pad a second time this summer.
Casting will begin at a party this very weekend.
"If you're on the invite, then you're in the running to become a contestant on Bachelor Pad," a source said of the sexy reality star gathering.
Please, let these two idiots be among the new cast members ...
Next Entertainment, the production company that owns The Bachelor, Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, is assembling as many as 65 BP hopefuls.
The invite bringing the castoffs from past seasons together promises an open bar, suggests cocktail attire, and is an on-camera event itself.
Everyone has to sign a waiver of release so they can be on camera and they plan to air footage on The Bachelor's "The Women Tell All.""The producers are trying to pick their characters and come up with the cryer, the drunk and the angry contestant," said an inside source.
Lucky Bachelor Pad winners Dave Good and Natalie Getz won the $250,000 prize in the first season of the show, which aired last summer.
Despite a shaky, nonsensical premise and an oddball cast of characters, the season featured plenty of drama, tears and bed hopping.
In other words, good enough to make it work.
"I'm sure they will be shooting in the Spring again, though there are no definite dates," said the source of Bachelor Pad's second season.
Sounds plain awesome. These people definitely need another 15 minutes. We'll pass along any Bachelor spoilers (and Pad spoilers) we hear.
At this point i would b happy if they voted off Vienna, Kasey and Melissa
I can't believe Vienna was not voted off tonight. She is totally stupid. Kasey on the other hand is dumb. Does he really thing Vienna will stay with him. NO! I am done watching!. Since day 1 but no more, it has become ridiculous. Go Ames! So ABC please note that a loyal fan is done because of Kasey and Vienna....they are beyond stupid and dumbe!
How stupid are these people for not voting Kasey and Vienna off???????Kasey is a smart ass that states he and Vienna are running the show.Vienna said that everybody in the house was effected by Jake being there when the other people there made comments that they did not have problems with Jake but Vienna bad mouthing him every since he came in the door.Kasey sucked on the bachelorette and now we have to see his hair liped face on this show.ABC what was you thinking?????
Im a little concerned on how the ending is going to go. Because if they do the same ending then I think the winners are going to discuss what they will do with the money, and that will ruin all the fun in the end!

Beautiful lighting fixture except that the description said it called for standard bulbs and you have to actually buy G-9 bulbs and for 5 of them it cost $35 and about 8 hours of work because no one seems to carry them. So beware, an extra $35 for bulbs and a headache on your hands when you buy them. I wish I knew that before I bought this. Overall, quality is good and looks great.
I used this light in a bathroom I did black n white. It MADE the bathroom. Everyone who has used my bathroom comes out and compliments me on it.
there really weren't any instructions with this light. There were 2 pages that showed how to do the electrical installation in very general terms, but nothing regarding how to assemble the crystals. the larger strands with the balls on the end had hooks...I'm guessing at where to hang them. The single strand crystals have no hooks. I have no idea what to do with them. The fixture itself is also not perfectly round, it's sort of warped. I'm hoping once it's up it wont be too noticeable...although I'm still trying to figure out how to attache the crystals before I can hang it.
GORGEOUS piece!! Looks very expensive. The lights were a pain to find but oh well, it was worth it. I love this. Very happy with the purchase.
Chandelier was easy to assemble and hook to electrical outlet. Crystals are amazing. More than I had anticipated. Perfect lighting for my bedroom!!
New master bathroom centerpiece and it sure is a beauty. It sparkles and shines like nothing else in my entire house. I couldn't love this more! Simple to add the strands and there are extra spots in the actual shade itself for additional strands, which I left out because the center strands with the crystals at the end are gorgeous enough!
What's not to love about this product? Everyone that walks into our bedroom looks right at this light and immediately comments. It's a great convo piece and a beautiful one at that. Putting this together was a little challenging and I am not a fan of the G9 bulbs, BUT despite those two little things, all the benefits completely outweigh the negatives. Now to find lamps for our nightstands with a similar feel...
I love this crystal light. It looks beautiful in my family room. Everyone in the family loves it.
This light has totally made my bathroom remodel! It has added such glamour! I just love it! Every day I look at it and it just makes me smile to see it. Love it!
I love this fixture and it really does do wonders for my black and white bathroom but there was just one problem. The description says chrome but the fixture has a brushed finish. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it until after the electrician installed it. So, I'm pretty much stuck with it now and it will always bother me that it doesn't match everything else in the bathroom. it is very elegant and the shade casts wonderful shadows on the wall.

"I'm glad I had a daughter. Ever since my grandmother died, I've needed the female energy in my life. It's good energy. I mean, when things go wrong, another man can tell you that everything is going to be OK. But not like a woman can."
"What do you miss most about Brazil?"
"I'm not sure how to say in English. Can I email you?"
"Just try."
"In Brazil. My people. Money or no money. Still happy."
"I try to stay away from other people. I don't like to have to be keeping up pretenses all the time— it's exhausting. Being a loner forces me to be two-faced sometimes, though. I'm always having to make up little stories to get out of social situations. But I'd much rather be alone, watching films. I enjoy watching actors. They're always pretending, just like me."

Professional Licensure and Certification Notice
Students who are pursuing degrees leading to application for professional licensure or certification and/or who will be participating in clinical placements or internships through their degree program should be aware that their host facility may require a criminal background check, fingerprinting, or drug screening. Although students at the College are required to have a background check before matriculating, the clinical site may require additional checks/screenings before commencement of clinical responsibilities. In the case of the latter, the student is responsible for obtaining and paying for the background check or other screening process and for delivering required documentation to the facility. Although the college will make reasonable efforts to place admitted students in clinical sites, it will be up to the host facility to determine whether a student will be allowed to work at that facility. Students should further be aware that a criminal record may jeopardize licensure by the state certification body. Students may consult the certification body for more details. Successful completion of a program of study at the New England College of Optometry does not guarantee licensure, certification, or employment in the relevant occupation.

PHOENIX — Perhaps it's going to take a few games to knock off the rust. Or maybe it's just the continuing trend of the Phoenix Suns struggling to get up for lesser opponents.
Whatever the case, the Suns are surviving poor performances and adding wins.
A night after looking rigid and sloppy against the Denver Nuggets, Jeff Hornacek's team put together another mistake-riddled game at home against the Boston Celtics to improve to 32-21 on the year. On Wednesday, they needed a 20-1 run just to win 100-94 at U.S. Airways Center.
Phoenix turned the ball over 14 times in the first half and led 52-50 despite shooting 51.2 percent to the Celtics' 35.3 percent from the floor. Boston scored 25 points on 18 Phoenix turnovers by the end of the game. The Suns' bench unit, and namely the big men on it, struggled on the glass for the second night in a row. After the second stringers got beat up by J.J. Hickson and Timofey Mozgov on Tuesday night, they allowed rookie Kelly Olynyk and Kris Humphries to crash the offensive boards for Boston.
The second half began with the Suns looking a little flat, and the turnovers woes didn't subside to start the third quarter. Hornacek's squad soon found itself trailing 70-61 midway through the period.
A Goran Dragic three put an end to the Celtics' run, and before the third quarter ended, Phoenix had gone on a 16-1 run to take a 76-71 lead – the burst continued on with threes and breakaways in the fourth quarter.
When it was all said and done, the Suns bench had rolled off a 20-1 run.
Dragic led Phoenix with 17 points and six assists, and the Morris twins combined to score 29 off the bench to make up somewhat for their lack of rebounding — they combined in that column for six boards in 51 minutes.
The Suns shot 43.9 percent from the floor, scored 44 points in the paint, and made up for lapses in focus.
On to the pregame questions.
Can Frye stroke it?
Frye hit a three-point shot on the Suns' first play of the game, but from then on it did seem as if Boston was keeping solid tabs on him. He scored just two points over the next 36 minutes until a corner pocket three-ball off a pass from Tucker gave the Suns a 73-71 lead. After a stop, Marcus Morris advanced the ball to 28 feet or so and hit a three-pointer to cap the third on a massive run.
Frye added six more points in the fourth to finish with 15.
Can tired legs outrun fresh legs?
The Suns' legs weren't the problem. In fact, it's plausible they'd be better off having heavy legs. Maybe it would stop them from forcing cross-court passes that are picked off by retreating defenders.
Phoenix needed to get hit in the face before the competitive juices got flowing, but in the end, the starting unit was too much for the Celtics and took it to the Green once they were faced with a bit of adversity.
Gerald Green's encore?
It wasn't quite the same thing as his career-high 36-point output on Tuesday, but Green teamed with Dragic as the Suns' main offensive weapons against Boston.
He added 17 points and started 5-of-7 from the field but struggled down the stretch, hitting one of his final seven attempts.

To the man I love and admire ever so much:
I can't imagine ever loving another human being in this life time of mine. You are the reason I breath let alone get up in the morning.. People wait a life time to experience what we have & for that I thank whatever God or forces out there for bringing you to me. For I would go through ALL the heart ache and pain before you came, 1000x over if it ment me having you in the end.
Thank you Nicolas Ryan Macciocca, for just being you and all the love you possess for me. I give you my word, it's all I'll need for the rest of eternity.
