Dallas Airmotive is adding Pratt & Whitney Canada PW500 hot-section inspection capability to three of its regional turbine centers (RTCs). According to the company, its RTC in Portsmouth, England, will be up and running on the new service by January 1. The Millville, N.J. RTC is anticipated to come on line during next year's first quarter, with the Phoenix RTC to follow in the second half.

Fokker Services, part of Stork Aerospace, announced it has signed a letter of intent for the acquisition of a controlling (51 percent) interest in Piedmont Aviation Component Services and a 49-percent strategic interest in Limco Airepair. The move is a continuation of the company's planned expansion into the U.S. aerospace services market. It follows the acquisition of Fairhope, Ala.-based Airinc last July.
Bombardier Aerospace has appointed Stevens Aviation's Jefferson County Airport facility in Denver an AOG/line maintenance facility for Learjets.
Securaplane Technologies has announced a distribution agreement for emergency batteries with CRS Jet Spares. The securaplane emergency battery systems use Hawker sealed lead acid batteries instead of nicads.
While many medium to large turbine helicopters offer autopilots to enhance mission safety and comfort, Sikorsky is in the final stages of developing an automatic flight control system (AFCS) that the company says will be the first of its kind to fly automated approaches to a set position.
Flight-testing is well under way for a new helicopter autopilot that, compared with other currently available systems, cuts both weight and cost in half, sources familiar with the project told AIN.
A laser obstacle-avoidance system now entering service on military helicopters might prove useful for civil applications. Selex Communications' laser obstacle avoidance and monitoring system (LOAM), installed on six AgustaWestland search-and-rescue EH-101s for the Danish Air Force, is said to be suitable for light singles as well.
Over the last six years, the North American aeromedical transport industry, particularly its helicopter EMS community, has become increasingly concerned about an accident rate it (and others) sees as excessive. Attention has focused on night flights and operations in reduced visibility, both of which contribute significantly to the number of mishaps.
The labor union representing helicopter pilots employed by PHI voted November 10 to end a two-month-long strike against the company. The work stoppage, which at its peak involved nearly half of PHI's pilot workforce, was the first helicopter pilots' strike in U.S. history.
AgustaWestland and Eurocopter might be competitors in the helicopter market, but they seem to be decidedly good friends when it comes to defining rotorcraft for the future. In addition to partnering on the Erica tiltwing research project, they have joined forces on another European-funded project, dubbed Friendcopter.

"There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends."—Homer
Like others before and those to follow, Eugene Von Bruenchenhein would only become well known posthumously. Acknowledged primarily for eroticized and surrealistic photographs of his beloved wife and muse, Marie, he also painted, sculpted, collected plants and fancied himself to be an architect and philosopher too.
Although ambition fueled Von Bruenchenhein's artistic drive, alas, during his lifetime, he never made it as an artist. His work never found an audience, he was never featured in a gallery, and he never sold a piece. He worked in a bakery, retired early because of health problems, and scraped by on Social Security at $220 a month. And yet, he never stopped creating.
I urge you to explore the work and life of Eugene Von Bruenchenhein. There will always be hipsters, poseurs, and wannabes seeking attention for their art, but it is those who dig deep and fearlessly whose work will eventually find its way.—Lane Nevares

Google controls too much of China's smartphone sector: ministry
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Google Inc has too much control over China's smartphone industry via its Android mobile operating system and has discriminated against some local firms, the technology ministry said in a white paper.
The white paper, authored by the research arm of China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also said China had the ability to create its own mobile operating system. (here)
"Our country's mobile operating system research and development is too dependent on Android," the paper, posted online on Friday but carried by local media on Tuesday, said.
"While the Android system is open source, the core technology and technology roadmap is strictly controlled by Google."
The paper said Google had discriminated against some Chinese companies developing their operating systems by delaying the sharing of codes. Google had also used commercial agreements to restrain the business development of mobile devices of these companies, it added.
A Google spokesman in China declined to comment.
The ministry did not recommend any specific policies, regulatory actions or other measures.
Analysts said the white paper, which lauded Chinese companies such as Baidu Inc, Alibaba Group and Huawei Technologies for creating their own systems, could be a signal to the industry that regulations against Android are on the horizon.
"In China, regulators regulate regularly especially where they can position the regulations as helping out domestic companies," Duncan Clark, chairman of technology consultancy BDA, said in an email to Reuters.
"Ironically, Android's success has underpinned a lot of the growth in China smartphone vendors in recent years," Clark said. Home-grown companies had failed previously in China's market for simple handsets, he said, due to weakness in software and operating systems.
South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the world's largest smartphone maker, uses the Android system, as do Chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE Corp.
Last September, the launch of a smartphone between Acer Inc and a unit of Alibaba Group was cancelled due to what Alibaba said was pressure from Google on the Taiwanese group. Representatives for Acer and Google declined to comment on the matter at that time.
Technology research firm IDC has estimated that China surpassed the United States as the world's biggest smartphone market in 2012, accounting for 26.5 percent of all smartphones shipped.
In 2010, Google conducted a partial pullout from China on the basis of censorship and after it suffered a serious hacking episode that the company said emanated from China. Since then, Google's search market share in China has fallen from almost 30 percent to 15 percent at the end of 2012. Android has been Google's bright spot in China.
In the third quarter last year, Android accounted for 90 percent of all mobile operating systems in China while Apple Inc's iOS system was at just 4.2 percent.
(Reporting by Melanie Lee; Editing by Edmund Klamann)
This is absolutely misleading. Google DID comment at the time. Their comment was that the software Alibaba Group put on that Acer smartphone used pirated copies of Android Apps. Therefore it violated some agreement between Acer and Google. Google said if you continue with this vioaltion, we will seek damages. Therefore, Acer wisely backed out of their deal with Alibaba Group because they understood they would make way more money as a friend of Google.

In current case, buffers overflow because qpopper accepts

We have a tag like TAX! How many different taxes there are and the definition changes very often! We have tags like DATE or TIME! Give me a break. How we did handle that in past, yes, metalanguage was allowed in many systems even in 70's but any definition had to be documented and accepted in context. Not a big deal, takes two minutes in a well defined infrastructure and then you can use it, references built, correct display and store formats and calculations bound, etc. But giving a free hand is no, no in business. Why create problems when it is easy to avoid them?
Yeah, I can see a lot of OO slack (what do they call it - oh yeah 'agile') programmers would love this. Marketing folk would fawn all over them. Managers would pander to their whim.
And 6 months down the line when it all comes to a grinding halt - or god forbid anyone ever wants to acutually datamine it - they will have to call in the inflexible traditionalists to do it right. The OO folk will whine about unforseen scalability and how unfair it is that it would work if only they would spend another million on hardware.

A Country Doctorby Sarah Orne Jewett
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Sara Orne Jewett (1849-1909) was an American regionalist and feminist writer, in the circle of writers like Willa Cather, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman. Born in South Berwick, Maine, Jewett had a happy, peaceful childhood where she developed a strong affinity to the nature and people of rural New England. Her first novel, A Country Doctor, is a semi-autobiographical work about a young girl's struggle to choose between a medical career and marriage. Like most of Jewett's work, the novel gives a striking, realistic depiction of the world, but also illustrates her more transcendental worldview. Jewett portrays an independent woman whose talents and desires drive her away from the traditional role of wife, and the novels exploration of gender, society, and human nature are as prevalent today as they were upon its publication in 1884.

text: Comment September 2, 2013 Issue A Test of Confidence By Steve Coll Table of Contents Credit Tom Bachtell In October, DreamWorks plans to release "The Fifth Estate," an international thriller about WikiLeaks. The director is Bill Condon, who made two of the "Twilight" vampire movies; Benedict Cumberbatch plays Julian Assange. Sure to follow are studio imaginings of the Edward Snowden affair, which looked script-ready the minute the N.S.A. contractor surfaced in Hong Kong with a hard drive full of secrets and a baby face lined with stubble. Assange and Snowden style themselves as philosopher-rebels in the age of Big Data, and, over all, their disclosures of state secrets have served the public interest. But the glamorization of their radicalism is a distraction. In American courthouses this summer, a vitally important, yet much more subdued, struggle over the First Amendment's scope is taking place between the Obama Administration and the press. At issue is whether the Administration will fulfill a recent pledge to end its heavy-handed pursuit of professional journalists' sources. The ripest case concerns a Times reporter, James Risen. It would be polite to describe Risen, who is in his fifties, as rumpled. He is a newspaper-bred investigator with wide contacts in Washington's intelligence community—a professional dinosaur, in other words, whose ecosystem looked shaky even before federal prosecutors bore in on him. He has co-written articles for the Times that exposed the Bush Administration's warrantless domestic-wiretapping program; the reporting won a Pulitzer Prize. In 2003, Risen learned of a tangled C.I.A. program, called Operation MERLIN, that was designed to feed faulty nuclear-weapons blueprints to Iran, in order to mislead that country's scientists. According to court filings, George Tenet, the director of the C.I.A., and Condoleezza Rice, the national-security adviser, asked the Times not to publish Risen's scoop, because it might endanger the life of a C.I.A. contact and harm national security. The paper's editors acquiesced. Three years later, however, Risen described MERLIN in a book about the C.I.A., "State of War." He cited confidential sources. In 2008, Bush Administration officials opened a grand-jury investigation of Jeffrey Sterling, a former C.I.A. case officer, for being Risen's source on Operation MERLIN. In 2010, the Justice Department, under Obama's Attorney General, Eric Holder, charged Sterling with providing classified information to a journalist; Sterling pleaded innocent. Holder then endorsed a subpoena that would force Risen to reveal his sources at Sterling's trial. Risen refused to coöperate and, with that, U.S. v. Sterling became a significant test of whether or when reporters have a right to protect confidential sources. Initially, a federal district judge, Leonie Brinkema, issued an opinion that was favorable to Risen's position. The Administration appealed. In 2012, despite pleas for restraint from major news organizations—including both the Times and Fox News—Holder approved an appellate brief that marked a low point in recent First Amendment litigation. It rejected any notion of a reporter's constitutional privilege to protect sources in criminal proceedings. It dismissed the idea that reporting like Risen's might be justified because it serves the public interest. And it described a working reporter who hears classified information during an interview with a government official as a witness to a crime, under the Espionage Act of 1917—no different under criminal law from a witness to a murder. The brief was a plank in a wider Administration campaign to deter leakers in national-security cases by punishing them harshly and by acting aggressively to identify journalists' sources. Holder has approved more media-leak prosecutions than all previous Attorneys General combined. This spring, however, after it was revealed that the Justice Department had secretly seized phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors, as well as those of the Fox reporter James Rosen, the Administration backed down, and, on July 12th, Holder vowed to change how Justice would treat journalists in criminal cases. His revisions, if implemented, could go a long way toward addressing the misguided practices of Obama's first term. Among other things, Holder said that he would create a committee, including in-house advocates for privacy and civil liberties, to review subpoenas like the one issued to Risen. Yet the changes came too late for Holder to withdraw his poorly considered appellate argument in U.S. v. Sterling. On July 19th, a divided panel at the United States Court of Appeal for the Fourth Circuit, in Richmond, followed that brief's urgings and ruled against Risen. The panel eviscerated his claim to a constitutional right to protect confidential sources, and ruled that he must testify at Sterling's trial or face prison for contempt of court. Risen's lawyers have asked the Attorney General to reconsider. In essence, they are asking the new Holder to overrule the old Holder. It would be unusual for any Attorney General to countermand legal arguments in the midst of a three-year-old criminal case. But it would also be, in this instance, the right decision. Holder cannot undo the Fourth Circuit's recent ruling, but he can contain its damage by withdrawing the subpoena that would force Risen to testify or go to jail. More broadly, in the Administration's preferred vernacular, Holder can "reset" his legacy on First Amendment issues. Risen has said that if he loses his courtroom arguments he will enter prison peaceably. It is Risen's attitude toward jail time that distinguishes him from Assange and Snowden, each of whom declined to place personal liberty at risk in an American courtroom. Snowden has accepted refuge in authoritarian Russia. Assange has won asylum in the London embassy of Ecuador, whose press laws are illiberal. Last week, Bradley Manning, the young source whose leaks helped to burnish Assange's global reputation, received a thirty-five-year prison sentence from a military judge. "I only wanted to help people," Manning wrote in a letter to the President. "I will serve my time knowing that sometimes you have to pay a heavy price to live in a free society." Risen is hardly an activist, but his willingness to expose bad American law by accepting whatever punishments the law metes out is aligned with the disobedience strategies of the civil-rights campaigns of the nation's past. Surely the Attorney General can accept the honor of capitulating to such a strategy in this case. If nothing else, Holder would demonstrate to the world that the Obama Administration perceives the difference between a professional reporter's dissenting acceptance of the rule of law and the rejection, by Assange and Snowden, of American law's essential reliability. ♦ Steve Coll, a staff writer, is the dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at Columbia University, and reports on issues of intelligence and national security in the United States and abroad.

'Ocean Base Atlantic' Opens In Camden The Aquarium's New Exhibition Features Shark Jaws, A "Fish Mobile," An Underwater Simulation. Reviews Were Mixed.
July 2, 1995
By Miriam Lupkin, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
"Wow!" "That's really neat!" "Cool!" Those words were uttered yesterday as a crowd at the New Jersey State Aquarium gazed at a motorized mobile that sent hundreds of fish swimming toward a lighted dome, giving the impression of fish swimming on the ceiling. The mobile, in the rotunda, was just one innovation in a $3.75 million package displayed yesterday when the aquarium opened a new exhibition titled "Ocean Base Atlantic. " Among the features were a 7-foot-tall set of jaws from a prehistoric, 50- ton shark, an interactive computer system called "Ask the Experts," and an underwater station that simulates life on the bottom of the ocean.
Good eats, great
August 30, 2012
Excerpts from Craig LaBan's online chat. Craig LaBan: Good afternoon, my hungry friends, and welcome to the summer's-just-about-done Philly food chat! Summer's done for me, now that I'm back from a great season of travels, the final leg being a loop through New England. We had great meals almost everywhere we went. In Providence, R.I., we had grilled corn pizza and wood-roasted eggplant parmesan at the classic Al Forno, and amazing mac 'n' cheese alongside house-made charcuterie (kimchi sausage)

Kevin Corbett, of West Philadelphia, takes advantage of clear, cool weather yesterday to fish on the Schuylkill near Boathouse Row. Today is expected to be partly cloudy with a chance of showers.
On The Rights Of Fish
December 19, 1990
In his autobiography, Benjamin Franklin told of how at age 17 he had decided not to become a complete vegetarian after all. This selection was suggested by Harriette Behringer. Being becalmed off Block Island, our people set about catching cod, and hauled up a great many. Hitherto, I had stuck to my resolution of not eating animal food, and I considered the taking of every fish as a kind of unprovoked murder, since none of them . . . could do us any injury that might justify the slaughter.
Fish: Catch and eat - quick
September 11, 2002
By Marilynn Marter INQUIRER FOOD WRITER
Eat up fresh-caught fish fast. They'll taste so much better. That fresh quality and taste begin to deteriorate as soon as the fish leaves the water. The way it is caught and stored also affects the flavor. When caught, fish struggle to escape and use up stored glycogen that otherwise would convert to lactic acid, which acts as a preservative for the flesh. Oily fish, unusually high in polyunsaturated fats, also tend to spoil more quickly. Refrigeration helps preserve the fish, but won't stop the growth of bacteria on and in the fish, which should be gutted and rinsed at once.
Waiting Together For A Fish To Bite
August 17, 1986
The Philadelphia Inquirer / WILLIAM F. STEINMETZ
Michael Boyd, 22, and Mary Bond, 23, both of North Philadelphia, cast for fish in the Schuylkill on a warm summer's day, with bucket poised to hold their catch should they meet with success.
Planet of the Apes: 1 fish, 2 fish, smart fish, sly fish
November 7, 2011
By Faye Flam, Inquirer Columnist
Goldfish don't forget every time they swim around the bowl. Fish - the smarter ones at least - have been shown to distinguish left from right, to remember mental maps of their surroundings, sometimes for months, use logic, engage in deception, and cooperate while hunting. We humans have grudgingly come to accept the idea that our close relatives the chimpanzees can think. And maybe our best friend the dog. But fish? They're not even warm-blooded. We may tend to underestimate fish as "lower" creatures thanks to the residue of an ancient idea known as the great chain of being - a quasi-religious notion that all living things form a hierarchy from lowest to highest.
Of Fish And The Scales Of Justice
December 26, 1993
By Kay Lazar, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Lawrence Ceresani said he got the idea from a previous owner who built the half-acre pond in the back yard to raise trout. When Ceresani bought the house on Bridgetown Pike in Northampton Township seven years ago, he decided to switch to a more colorful fish called Koi. Or, as Ceresani describes them, a Japanese "gigantic-looking goldfish. " The Koi started reproducing like crazy. "Before you knew it," Ceresani said, "you could almost walk across the pond on them. " It started Ceresani thinking, and about two years ago, he set up a fish hatchery on his 6.35-acre property and began selling the fish to a couple of wholesalers who supply pet stores.
Japanese Hooked On These Fancy Fish
May 18, 1999
by Jim Nolan , Daily News Staff Writer
Koi are to carp what butterflies are to moths. "They're basically the same fish that swim in our rivers," said Donna Howard, of the Quality Koi Co. on North Broad Street. "But koi have much prettier clothes on. " Spectacular suits of metallic gold and platinum. Vivid stripes and spots of red and white and black. The Japanese call them "living jewels. " The goldfish are a distant cousin, but don't expect to win a koi at the church carnival. They are bred like show dogs and fetch similarly high prices - anywhere from $250 to $2,500 on average, with rare one-in-a-million specimens fetching in excess of $10,000.
A Surrealistic Hospital And The Worship Of Fish
October 27, 1989
By Steven Rea, Inquirer Staff Writer
Savvy entrepreneurial types would be well-advised to trundle down to the Roxy Screening Rooms this weekend at midnight and set up some fish-bark stands. That's right, bark shaped like fish - straight from the tree, curved like a cod. They'll sell like hotcakes to the giddy crowd exiting Tales From the Gimli Hospital. A magnificently murky, completely off-kilter movie - mostly silent and shot in grainy black-and-white - Tales From the Gimli Hospital is a funny, surreal, grim fairy tale, steeped in a lore of its own making.

Researchers hope fish oil can curb antisocial behavior
October 12, 2014
By Stacey Burling, Inquirer Staff Writer
A University of Pennsylvania professor who studies psychopaths has found hope for improving human behavior in a surprising place: fish oil. A new study led by Adrian Raine, a psychologist in Penn's criminology department, found giving children a fruit drink mixed with omega-3 fatty acids - a key ingredient in fish oil - improved their behavior. Strangely, the behavior of parents also improved, even though they weren't taking the supplements. More on that later. Raine's ultimate goal is ambitious: to reduce crime.
Frank James Crawley, 84, fisherman, popular SW Philly neighbor
October 7, 2014
BY JOHN F. MORRISON, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com, 215-854-5573
FRANK CRAWLEY was popular in his Southwest Philadelphia neighborhood for a couple of reasons. Mostly, he was a friendly, helpful guy who would sit outside his home on Angora Terrace near 58th Street and greet passing neighbors who would often stop and chat. They knew that Frank was not only a pleasure to be with, but that he would be there for them if they ever needed any kind of help. He was a very neighborly neighbor. And then there were the fish. Frank and some of his buddies seemed to have a natural talent for bringing in the fish, whether from the Chesapeake Bay or the Atlantic Ocean.
Intersex fish indicate chemical problems in Pa. rivers
July 17, 2014
By Sandy Bauers, Inquirer Staff Writer
A government researcher who has studied intersex fish in the Potomac River now has found them in three Pennsylvania river basins, including the Delaware. The fish - males that develop immature eggs and other signs of feminization - are considered symptomatic of estrogenic chemicals in the water. Their discovery in the state indicates that effects of hormones and hormone-like compounds are more widespread than thought. The mutant fish could bespeak a deeper crisis, said Vicki Blazer, a U.S. Geological Survey fish biologist who conducted the Pennsylvania study.
Why aren't we eating American fish?
July 11, 2014
By Samantha Melamed, Inquirer Staff Writer
Paul Greenberg's commitment to local seafood runs deep - so deep that the Manhattan-based writer once slurped down an oyster he'd plucked from the muck of New York Harbor, eliciting a gasp from a city official standing nearby. But the author of the newly released American Catch: The Fight for Our Local Seafood (Penguin) is aware there's a tidal wave of forces working against him. Today, 91 percent of the seafood Americans eat comes from abroad, even as a third of the domestic catch is shipped overseas.
Young cooks hit their groove with fish curry

By Maureen Fitzgerald, Inquirer Food Editor
The first one to burst through the door for after-school cooking class at Lawton Elementary - as usual - is Christian McKinney, this week sporting a fresh mohawkish buzz-cut. He wastes no time: he glances at the recipe, sizes up the ingredients on the stainless steel prep table, and starts right in, peeling, then chopping the garlic. If I didn't insist that he save some jobs for the others, he might get through most of the work before they even arrive. "Nick is so excited for the fish curry today," he said.
Fish out of water: Susan Boyle & you

It's worked that way, at least, for Susan Boyle, the Scottish singer whose appearance on "Britain's Got Talent" - five years ago this week - made her an international sensation via YouTube. Her attempt to overcome crippling stage fright to add live performances to a successful recording career is the subject of "Susan Boyle: Her Secret Struggle," a documentary making its U.S. premiere on Ovation tonight.
Go fish: Trout season opens in region
March 31, 2014
By Chris Palmer, Inquirer Staff Writer
There was no official signal to open trout-fishing season Saturday morning in Southeastern Pennsylvania - no starting gunshot or horn. But thousands of anglers across the region knew that 8 a.m. meant they could once again break out their tackle boxes and wet a line. So for dozens of fishers standing nearly shoulder-to-shoulder along the West Branch of Brandywine Creek near Coatesville - many had arrived before dawn to claim a spot on the banks - one fisher's first cast was as good a signal as any: lines soon after dunked into the creek, and the brook was open for business.

Flying Fish to Jersey: Happy birthday! This brew's for you
March 21, 2014
DRINK UP, Jersey, it's your 350th birthday. And Flying Fish - the Garden State's largest craft brewery - has brewed a fitting pint for the occasion: NJ350 Anniversary Ale . It's the Camden County brewery's version of a traditional English stock ale (this birthday marks New Jersey's establishment as a British colony, remember), with a brash bite of modern-day American sedition. "The idea was to pay homage to 350 years of history," Flying Fish brewery manager Barry Holsten told me when I stopped by on brew day earlier this month, "so we looked backward and forward.

Robert M. Weintraub, 76, of Gwynedd Valley, a tropical-fish expert whose marketing ability made it fun to shop for the colorful creatures at his aquarium supercenter, died of pneumonia Monday, March 3, at Chestnut Hill Hospital. Mr. Weintraub and his brother, Paul, started out by working at Martin's Aquarium, the store their parents founded in Jenkintown. But Mr. Weintraub's greatest success came as the designer and co-owner of Captain Nemo's Aquarium in East Norriton Township.

You should not feel strange when you are sad or depressed because the world we live in is full of despair and confusion. Overcoming your sadness or despair is what matters. Talk to a qualified therapist in Williamsburg Brooklyn and your troubles will begin to wither away. Do not shy away from help as many other people do. Instead, embrace those who can help you so that your live can become better. Always remember that a therapist is there to listen to you and advice you on how to cope with your emotions. He or she should also guide you as you move towards emotional recovery. Here is some more information on therapists.
Understanding Therapists
Many people believe that therapists are cold-hearted people who lack any sense of human emotion and tenderness. This misconception stems from the fact that therapists maintain their composure even when told the most unsettling things possible by their patients. You, on the other hand, should not fall victim to this grave misconception because therapists can help you in various ways. For example, therapists can help you avoid bad decisions in life or they can help you to become emotionally strong when sad events become unbearable. Therapy is also ideal for you because a therapist will not reveal your secrets to any other person or entity.
Choosing a Therapist in Williamsburg Brooklyn
Finding a therapist that cares about his or her patients takes time and a lot of research. You can start by looking at the qualifications of the therapists you already know. Do these therapists have a graduate degree, a postgraduate degree or some other form of academic qualification? The answer to this question will help you to separate the quack therapists from the highly qualified therapists. You should also look at their areas of specialization. Choose a family therapist if you are having problems with your family or a psychotherapist if you are having a mid-life crisis.
Look At the Reputation of the Therapist
A professional receives rave reviews from his or her clients. You can easily use the internet to find testimonials from patients who have recovered from their bouts of sadness or depression. Choose a therapist that has positive reviews from his or her clients. You should also ask local sources such as the people living in your community or the relevant local authorities for information on the professionalism of a particular therapist. Finally, your own personal judgment is important when choosing a suitable therapist. For example, you should choose a therapist who has a clear road map of how he or she will help you to overcome your emotional woes.
Ethical Concerns
Unethical therapists will prolong your suffering so that they can continue receiving payments for your therapy sessions. This is why you should avoid unethical therapists at all costs. You should also seek the services of ethical therapists because they will respect the rules governing confidentiality, boundaries and dual relationships. They will not use anything you told them in confidence against you unlike many unethical therapists. Always seek the services of a licensed therapist in Williamsburg Brooklyn because a license to practice therapy is a good way of distinguishing ethical therapists from unethical ones.

The Lodge Executive Chef
Lanny Chin
Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge's fine culinary kitchen is led by Executive Chef Lanny Chin.
Chef Lanny Chin has spent the majority of his life in the kitchen. From an early age, he could be found observing his grandfather, a chef at the old Cleveland hot spot, Theatrical. Chef Lanny worked his way up from the dishwasher to Executive Chef for the Hyde Park Group. Despite his meteoric career path, chef Lanny recognized that there was still culinary knowledge he was lacking. He willingly stepped down from his position to enroll in the International Culinary Arts and Sciences Institute. After completion of this program, Chef Lanny further expanded his restaurant knowledge by acting as dining room manager for J. Alexander's. Yet Chef Lanny longed to be back in the kitchen. He eventually secured a position at Chicago's world-famous Alinea working under the renowned Chef Achatz. This opportunity soon led to another as Chef Lanny was offered an Executive Chef position back in Cleveland at Lago, the anchor restaurant in the city's attempts to revitalize the Flats East Bank. In his constant efforts to expand his knowledge of food and the world, Chef Lanny is now here, incorporating Alaskan seafood into his experience and expertise, at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.
We are very pleased to have Lanny Chin leading the culinary experience for all our guests at the lodge.

Monterey Medical Malpractice Attorneys
If your doctor or hospital has been negligent in providing adequate medical attention, our attorneys help you seek compensation. When you entrust your well-being to a licensed healthcare provider, you deserve a minimum duty of care. You may have a case for medical malpractice if:
- Your doctor has misdiagnosed or failed to diagnose a disease or medical condition
- You did not receive appropriate medical treatment for a specific condition
- Your treatment was delayed for an unreasonable period of time
Do not wait to contact an Monterey Medical Malpractice Attorneys. The statute of limitations restricts the time you have to file your claim. The law also requires that physicians receive 90 days notice of the intention of filing the lawsuit, and limits non-economic damages like pain and suffering to $250,000. Your judgment may be further offset by payments you have received from your insurance, government agencies, and other collateral sources.
Speak to an Monterey Medical Malpractice Attorney for a more detailed analysis of your case. The initial consultation is free, and if we take your personal injury case, we will not get paid unless we obtain a favorable verdict or settlement. We bear all the upfront costs of preparing your case for trial, and support the hiring of expert witnesses with the pertinent education and training to testify on your behalf.
Case Study: Medical Malpractice by Gynecologist
The Monterey Medical Malpractice Attorneys represented a woman who underwent an exploratory laparoscopy, during which her OB/GYN perforated her small bowel—resulting in peritonitis and subsequent surgeries. Monterey Attorney Vicki Schermer-Kleinkopf's careful review of the medical records uncovered the fact that the doctor had "adjusted" the patient's chart by adding entries after the surgery to make her performance look above the standard of care. The firm settled this case with both the doctor and the hospital for a substantial six figure amount, even in light of California's Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) damage limit.
Case Study: Medical Malpractice by Orthopedist
Monterey Medical Malpractice Attorneys have successfully sued an orthopedist who negligently performed hip replacement surgery—resulting in a leg length disparity that caused the client to have to undergo successive surgeries to correct the problem. The case was settled for an amount that the defense attorney initially claimed would never be paid, but it was and the settlement resulted thereafter.

Rowling didn't show him any typed copies, but don't worry, Palast has typed up it for us.
whaat? is this for real?

Because sometimes, you just need a bath.
An outdoor bath idea; because we (americans and such) have become prudish and way too self conscious. Everyone has the same body, it's all just shaped differently. There is no shame in it; it's a body. Period. Why not enjoy it instead of hate it? There is nothing more wonderful than an outdoor bath or shower, where you can watch the sky and enjoy the open air. If not a bath go skinny dipping or hot tubbing! Honestly, awesome feeling.

It's March, so that means Alabama Crimson Tide fans' "football withdrawals" will get a small intermission as spring practices kick start this Saturday leading to the April 19th A-Day Game.
The Tide rolls towards practice this weekend with a lot of questions. Fans and critics alike are wondering how Nick Saban and his boys in Crimson will bounce back from such a disappointing end to 2013. Let's tackle some of those questions right now.
Who will replace AJ McCarron?
The most obvious question heading into 2014 is who will replace all-time leading passer at Alabama, and soon-to-be NFL quarterback AJ McCarron?
Currently Alabama has five scholarship quarterbacks on campus that will take part in spring practices. Those include Blake Sims (Sr.), Alec Morris (So.), Cooper Bateman (So.), Parker McLeod (So.), and David Cornwell (Fr.). Sims is the only player on the roster to have thrown a pass in a college game and was McCarron's primary backup the last two years. Cornwell, meanwhile, is the incoming true freshman that has been heralded coming out of high school.
In the fall Florida State transfer Jacob Coker will be joining the team and is likely the favorite to be named the starter right off the bat. This spring could be vital to all of the other quarterbacks on the Tide's roster. If Blake Sims is going to take over at QB, the spring is where he needs to jumpstart that transition. The same can be said for any of the others; an impression needs to be made on new offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin immediately.
How will the running back situation shake out?
T.J. Yeldon is the unquestioned leader among the Alabama running backs. Coming off of two consecutive 1,000 yard rushing seasons, he is poised to become the first Alabama player to record three straight 1,000 yard years.
Behind him things will be very interesting in 2014. Kenyan Drake was Yeldon's primary backup and got a lot of touches in 2014, until the end of the year, which saw freshman Derrick Henry explode in the Sugar Bowl. Henry is far too good to keep off the field and it seems that he is picking up the blocking/blitz pickup aspect of the game, which could mean that he and Yeldon share the bulk of the load in 2014. Kenyan Drake, as well as Altee Tenpenny, Tyren Jones and Jalston Fowler will look to make an impression on Kiffin.
How different will the Alabama offense be?
It's unlikely that will we see drastic changes in the Alabama offense, but there are some subtle things that we might be able to pick up. Kiffin and Saban have been rumored to be interested in using more two tight end sets, and a more traditional I-formation with a fullback rather than the h-back role.
If the h-back is done away with, it would likely mean we would see Fowler move full time to fullback. We may also see big tight ends like Cory McCarron or Harrison Jones get a look at fullback as well. O.J. Howard and Brian Vogler are likely to remain the top two tight ends, but it will be interesting to see how Kiffin exploits the athletic ability of Howard in his offense, possibly using him in a way that NFL teams use athletic tight ends like Vernon Davis or Jimmy Graham.
Filling in holes on the defense
Yet again Nick Saban and Kirby Smart will be looking to plug glaring holes after being depleted by the NFL Draft this year. Free safety HaHa Clinton-Dix, strong safety Vinnie Sunseri, defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan, and linebacker Adrian Hubbard all bolted early for the draft, while linebacker C.J. Mosley, defensive end Ed Stinson, and cornerback Deion Belue graduated in 2013.
Brandon Ivory remains in the middle of the defensive line, but incoming JUCO transfer Jarran Reed will likely get some opportunities in the spring to show if he can make an immediate impact at the nose. Sophomore A'Shawn Robinson can almost be penciled in at one defensive end position, while most felt that Reed's fellow JUCO transfer D.J. Pettway would be opposite Robinson on the other side of the line. But there have been rumblings that Pettway may just start off at linebacker. If that's the case, we could see Xzavier Dickson or Denzell Devall permanently move from jack linebacker to defensive end, or sophomore Jonathan Allen could jump up and take that spot.
Replacing Mosley will be no small feat, and that will fall to returning senior Trey DePriest, who most certainly has the ability to be that guy. Rounding out the other linebacker spots will be interesting to say the least. Devall will likely take one outside spot while we could see Dillon Lee, Tim Williams, and Ryan Anderson battle for the other outside spot. Joining DePriest on the inside will either be Reuben Foster, Reggie Ragland, or possibly even incoming freshman Shaun Dion-Hamilton.
The Alabama defensive backs struggled at times in 2013, but many young players got much-needed experience in the process. Bradley Sylve, Maurice Smith, Cyrus Jones and Eddie Jackson all received starts in 2013. Jackson and Jones seemed to be the most improved as the season progressed and will likely be the odds-on favorites to start off as the top two in the rotation in the spring. Smith, Sylve, and incoming freshman Tony Brown will certainly be nipping at their heels.
Landon Collins will unquestionably be called upon as the leader in this young secondary as the most experienced among the group. Joining him at safety will likely be Geno Smith and Nick Perry. It's going to be interesting to see how much redshirt freshman Jai Miller has improved over the off season, and whether the 6-foot-3, 213-pound safety can get on the field in 2014.
These are just some of the questions that will be asked in the spring among others as 2014 looks to be one of the more intriguing seasons Nick Saban has had at Alabama in recent years. Spring practices start Saturday afternoon, and Saban and Co. will begin working on the answers.

Hana Mae Lee
Hana Mae Lee is definitely one to watch. In addition to being a comedian, an artist, and a fashion designer, Hana Mae will grace the silver screen in her breakout role as 'Lilly' in the highly anticipated feature Pitch Perfect, opposite Anna Kendrick and Elizabeth Banks, out October 5th. Hana Mae began her career modeling and doing commercials from the age 16. Booking over four dozen national campaigns, she modeled for campaigns such as Jeep, Honda, Verizon, Apple, Sebastian, American Express, and Nokia having shot with the world's top photographers such as Ellen Von Unwerth.
fierce, avant guard and ballsy
On the small screen, Hana Mae began her career as a guest star on CBS' "Mike & Molly," playing Soo-Jin, a high maintenance girlfriend of Abe of Abe's Hot Beef, who hates manual labor yet forced to fill in as a waitress. She also guest starred on the ever popular Comedy Central television series "Workaholics." Hana Mae began performing stand-up comedy in 2009. Her comedy sets are known to be fierce, avant guard and ballsy. That same year, Hana Mae helped break "get gaysian," a comedy duo.
Performing with Matthew John Daly; her good friend and fellow alumni of Baron Brown Studios where they met. Their comedy styling includes stand-up, sketch, impersonations, original characters and singing. An Alumni of Otis College of Art and Design with a BFA in fashion design, Hana Mae began her own jewelry line in 2001; Hanamahn ("just one" in Korean). And in 2010 Hana Mae expanded into apparel and outerwear.
"dare to inspire"
She says her designs have the intention of "dare to inspire" rather than to the trends that come and go so quickly. The one of a kind pieces have been worn by collectors, musicians, actors and business creatives. A California native, Hana Mae Lee brings a fresh take on life and what it means to be creative in everything she does. Staying clear away from the adjective, "normal," Hana Mae grew up in Los Angeles loving the intricate details of life. She puts her authentic touch on anything she creates, be it a garment or a character on screen. Hana Mae currently resides in Santa Monica, CA with her bearded dragon named Emmanuel.

In order to ensure that a roast maintains its shape during cooking, it's important to secure it with butcher's twine. These are our two favorite knots to use:
1. Double Knot: Cut lengths of twine and space them at one-inch intervals under the meat. Then simply pull them over and tie a double knot. The only problem is that if you tie it too tightly or too loose, you have to cut it off and start over again.
2. Butcher's Knot: Start by pulling both ends of the string toward you, then pass the loop of the upper string under the lower string and give the loop a half turn towards you. Pass the end of the upper string over the lower string and through the loop. Then pull both sides of the upper string to tighten. Finally, pull the lower string up and down until the knot is secure against the meat. The knot can now easily be adjusted.
Either option will ensure that our recipe for Classic Roast Beef Tenderloin comes out of the oven looking perfect.

Spend some time and go to the PCI Council site. http://www.pcicouncil.org. Read the standards and the requirements.
No matter what size your organisation is you have to meet the standards if you take card holder information. No matter
the size of your organisation you have to comply - if you take cards - it is in the contract.
Worse still even small organisations need to sign a document attesting that they have met the standard. The issue here
is that this is not just that you have had a scan - but that you meet ALL 12 areas of the standard or have SUITABLE
mitigating controls.
A scan from an ASV is not compliance with the standard. In addition for instance, the following is an extract from the
standard - which applies to all parties covered by the PCI-DSS:
"11.3 Perform penetration testing at least once a year and after any significant infrastructure or application upgrade
or modification (such as an operating system upgrade, a sub-network added to the environment, or a web server added to
the environment). These penetration tests must include the following:
11.3.1 Network-layer penetration tests
11.3.2 Application-layer penetration tests."
These do not need to be done through an ASV or audit firm, you get to choose the pen test party that best suits you.
Either way - you need to have this done to be compliant.
Worst of all. For all the small merchants signing that they have met the standard, they may be guilty of fraud at worst
and a negligent misstatement at best. The ASV is not the one who gets into trouble, the merchant/issuer is.
As a merchant you have to meet the standard, it is your requirement and no amount of paper from auditors and vendors
will aid you if you are in breach. So when choosing the ASV - remember that you set the scope - allow them and you get
You have to answer the following questionnaire:
As stated, this is a legal document - which many people seem not to understand. Lying or attempting to mislead yourself
on the answers only hurts yourself.
Take the rarely implemented point 3.5, the self assessment asks:
"Are account numbers (in databases, logs, files, backup media, etc.) stored securely- for example, by means of
encryption or truncation?"
This means that there is either the data stored AND encrypted or it is cut off and not stored. EFS is not database
encryption - this means table or field encryption in the database. Tick yes as you do an XOR (as I have seen at leats
15 firms do) is not acceptable. The standard defines the types and formats. As the security or Risk manager who signs
this, if you have not implemented encryption - really implemented it using an approved algorithm (Eg AES) - than
signing this may be a criminal offence.
In Australia this is covered in the Corporations Act S1309A (False or Misleading Statements) and this can have a
penalty of several years goal time.
So the PCI is more than just a little tick list that gets in the way. It is your responsibility - not the ASV. CYA.

From what I can see there seem to be some inconsistencies between the
PCI-DSS scanning guidelines and the cost of services offered by the
ASVs. The testing process to become an ASV seems to require a certain
degree of manual testing but there are plenty of companies offering
deals such as £75 for the testing of entire host ranges. Are companies
doing a full manual test on the assessment and then just chucking a
load of automated scanners at the hosts the test commercially
afterwards? Surely there's no way any test-house can manually test
even a single hosts at that cost!

Wouldnt you know, comic book pioneer Stan The Man Lee proves to be at the head of that charge for comic-book diversity, exploring a project that will open up his massive influence to a huge portion of the global community.
When you consider the high level of attention paid to continuity that exists in modern comic book movie franchises, the ubiquitous presence of Marvel co-founder Stan Lee produces an interesting puzzle. Its weird enough that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has presented him as a World War II general, Larry King, a poison-soda drinker, a Xandarian Ladies' Man, and more - but its even more bizarre when you factor in his appearances in other franchises.
Stan Lee has finally revealed which of his Marvel cameos is his favorite. But those of you who were hoping that they could revel in the clip over and over again after learning of his decision will be rudely disappointed because it hasnt even hit cinemas yet!
Earlier this week, we found out Guardians Of The Galaxy director James Gunn originally wanted Stan Lees standard cameo to involve a pretty hilarious middle finger.
Out of all of the stuff that made it into Guardians Of The Galaxy, there was still one cameo that pushed the boundaries of Disney's better judgement. If you want to know what was too much for a film that included a line about pelvic sorcery, then you'll definitely want to see this.
We have been hearing that the menacing Ultron will have to travel to Black Panthers home land of Wakanda to pick up valuable resources in Joss Whedons sequel. But its unclear if an actor will have been cast to play the hero TChalla in a Marvel movie for this potential cameo.
With all this recent chatter about introducing more female superheroes to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, many comic book movie fans have found themselves repeating one name: Katee Sackhoff. The actress has a large sci-fi fanhood following thanks to her time playing Starbuck on the reimagined version of Battlestar Galactica, and many of those same people want to see her take on more big genre pictures - making Marvel a natural fit.
Going back to April, there has been a lot of back and forth about what role Nathan Fillion would play in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy. The Firefly star revealed to the crowd at St. Louis Comic-Con that he would have a role in the Marvel Studios film, but would not say what part he was playing and only hinted that it was a role that audiences will only be able to recognize after seeing his name in the end credits.
Playfully joking about the rivalry between the comic book powerhouses, Lee said from the stage of the convention, DC could probably make a lot more money with Superman and Batman if they announced that I'd have a cameo in it! People wouldn't believe it - they'd have to go to the theatre to see it!"
The fallout over David S. Goyers comments continues. For now, tell us your thoughts. Listen to Goyers comments in context on the podcast, and tell us if he was attempting to make a joke, or if his views on the role of female superheroes has you concerned about the influence he has on the developing DC Cinematic Universe.
A few months back, comic book legend Stan Lee revealed that he would not be making a cameo appearance in James Gunn's upcoming movie Guardians of the Galaxy, but apparently things have changed in an interesting way in the time since then.
Why cant Lee make a cameo? Im guessing its because the majority of Guardians is going to take place in outer space. Maybe Lee would have to endure hours in the make-up chair to turn himself into an extraterrestrial character for what amounts to a three-second cameo? And at 91, he doesnt have time for that!
While Lee is certainly joking about his appearance in the movie alone drawing big crowds, I do think that he's on to something,. As a comic book fan and, by extension, a comic book movie fan, I've never understood why others are so adamant about drawing a line in the sand between Marvel and DC.
Lee was asked several questions about possible upcoming Marvel movies, and while most of this probably has to fall into the category of speculation, Lee likely is in the loop on decisions pertaining to Marvel properties, and I dont think hes pulling this information out of thin air.
Part of the fun of watching Marvel movies over the last 13 years has been keeping an eye out for the comic book legend's moment in the spotlight, be it rescuing pedestrians from falling debris (Spider-Man), drinking gamma radiation infected soda (The Incredible Hulk) or getting mistaken for both Hugh Hefner (Iron Man).

Debate Time: The 10 Best Moments In Royal Rumble HistoryLists, The Fam, Wrestling — By The Fam on January 25, 2013 at 6:43 pm
By Kellen Daniel / @kellen_daniel
Well, it's that time of the year again. As we begin the march to WrestleMania, the starting line has always been The Royal Rumble. One of the most unpredictable events in WWE history, The Rumble plants the seeds for an exciting four months in the world of sports entertainment. Careers are made, feuds begin to take shape and the entire landscape of the WWE gets a little clearer. This year is no different, as this is probably the biggest Royal Rumble of at least the past 5-7 years. The Rock returns to electrify as only he can to challenge C.M. Punk for the WWE Championship (more on that later this weekend), not to mention the rumble match itself.
While this year's pay-per-view is shaping up to be a great one, I want to take a look back at some of the best moments, big or small, from the Royal Rumble of the last 25 years.Tags: Kane, Lists, Ric Flair, Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels, The Rock, Undertaker, WWE, WWF
The Rock's cousin WOULD write this, haha.
Good ish tho.
A few edits (which no doubt is going to show how invested I am when it comes to wrestling).
– Cactus Jack & Triple H fought in a street fight at the 2000 Rumble, but Trips retired him at the next PPV in Hell In A Cell.
– Austin won his first Rumble in '97.
Oh, and the "YOU'RE TOO SELFISH!" promo from Owen was absolute GOLD.
You're absolutely right. Austin stole that '97 rumble match from Bret Hart. I just got my years mixed up.
Those attitude era years started to run together for me. My apologies.
"That's why I kicked your leg outta your..leg"
Shawn Michaels drew #1 one year and won it. I just knew that would be on here…but it aint…SMH
I couldn't do it brother. And you know I'm an HBK Stan, but that rumble match was like the fastest one ever. Cats were coming in every minute instead of 2. And it just wasn't all that memorable, save for him hanging on the bottom rope the way he did.
Krispin Wah?
If Chris Benoit hadn't turned into a murdering psychopath, his win might be up near the top ten as well. Dah well.
Anyway, the Rumble is one of my favorite events. Always full of surprises and excitement. Good work my man.
Man, when Cena came back at the '08 Rumble, like 3 months before he was supposed to be healed and his music hit in the Garden while he just stood there like "Yeah, y'all know who it is", was CLASSIC. All the while Triple H was standing there staring like "WTF?" was off the meter.
Then add in that him, Hunter and Batista had a Triple Threat match for the ages at the end, that was a great moment for a great Rumble.
