Fired UNH professor sues, alleges racial, gender bias
Roslyn K. Chavda of Nottingham brought the suit against the university system Tuesday in an attempt to get her job back after she was terminated from her position within the Master of Public Administration program.
In the suit filed in Rockingham County Superior Court, Chavda claims she was subjected to a hostile environment because she's a black woman and also a mother. She also alleges the university retaliated against her for expressing concerns about the way the MPA program was being run.
Erika Mantz, director of media relations at UNH, declined to comment on the allegations Thursday, saying the university hasn't been provided with a copy of the lawsuit.
Chavda was hired as an assistant professor of political science in 2005 and began teaching in the Master of Public Administration program in 2006.
According to the suit, Chavda was hired despite a hiring freeze at the university. Her race "became a reference point for her hiring by her peers within the department," the suit said.
After she began working at UNH, Chavda experienced problems related to her pregnancy and premature births of her twins and was required to remain on bed rest, which affected her ability to teach, she suit said.
The suit said her husband, who was "similarly credentialed," completed one of her teaching obligations while the program chairman was required to teach one of Chavda's other courses for a period of time.
"Thereafter, in addition to racial issues relating to her hiring, it became evident that Dr. Chavda's obstetric requirements resulted in significant consequences for her. Upon completion of her first year of teaching, she was subjected to a scathing, and largely false, performance review. It became apparent to her that . due to her race and gender-based issues, she was subjected to a level of scrutiny and hostility absent from the treatment of others who were similarly situated," the suit said.
Chavda claims she repeatedly expressed concern about what she felt was "disparate treatment" to her superiors at UNH, but her complaints were either dismissed or ignored, the suit said.
Chavda also maintains that her treatment resulted from her criticisms of the MPA program.
"With no barrier to entry, save payment of tuition, the students of the MPA program were often unprepared for its demands. Additionally, a significant portion of its participants worked full time, taking courses in the evening. Presumably driven by concern for revenue, a number of students were admitted over the objection of faculty, and failing grades were converted to class withdrawals by the program administration. It was not unusual for students to repeat the same course multiple times," the suit said.
Chavda complained about student admissions and performance because, the suit said, she was "focused on academic performance rather than institutional income."
Her demands weren't always popular with the "unqualified" students in her class, the suit said.
"Given the now-established perception rooted in race and gender, and despite the MPA program's institutional failings, D. Chavda's performance was measured against those situated very differently resulting, unsurprisingly, in a purportedly 'objective' deficit that was nothing of the sort," the suit said.
She argues the UNH administration failed to respond to her complaints in any meaningful way.
Chavda was fired in May 2012 "purportedly" due to the poor reviews and a failure to publish peer-reviewed articles in scholarly journals, the suit said.
However, she claims that the university continues to employ an untenured professor hired around the same time who also hasn't published the articles. The suit points out that the professor is a white man.
Chavda wants the court to reinstate her with retroactive seniority, back pay and reimbursement for all lost employment benefits. The suit also seeks other damages, including payment for emotional and financial loss.
Chavda's Portsmouth lawyer, Lawrence Gormley, could not be reached for comment Thursday.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- An Ohio woman is headed to federal prison for selling heroin and cocaine in Huntington.
Christina Nease, 33, of South Point, Ohio, was sentenced Monday to two years in federal prison.
In July, she pleaded guilty to heroin distribution, admitting that she conspired with others to distribute heroin in and around Huntington.
In February, an undercover DEA agent set up a buy from Nease. She was pulled over on her way and had 24 grams of heroin on her.
She also admitted to selling cocaine to a DEA agent for $200 and to selling heroin to an agent for $1400 one time and $1700 another time.
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Huntington Police Department conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Joseph F. Adams handled the prosecution. The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers.

There was a bit on GQT about them the other week - suggested covering an area of lawn with tarpaulin for a few days, which will encourage the grubs to the surface. Then go out at dawn and remove it, and all the birds will pick the grubs off for you. Apparently the worms get back into the ground quick enough to avoid the same fate
Panda - if you are going to use pellets the ones with "ferric" something are better - steer clear of the methaldehyde (??) ones which exterminate everything in sight. I find copper rings in a circle round the base of my clematis do the trick too, because slugs can actually chomp through the stems at the base and then you lose the whole lot (although mine did resprout, and seem none the worse for it)
Supernoodle - what a pretty patch of flowers - bet it makes you smile every time you go past ! Great to hear it is bulking up nicely too
Mr Beardshaw is recording, but footie means i don't stand a chance of getting near the TV tonight - so i have just treated myself to the Hidcote programme on iPlayer instead - what a place !!! Have next week off work, and was planning to find a garden to visit .... Its definitely on the list as a possibility. Bit of a trek, but with a few GQT's on the radio it won't seem too long. Will ponder .......
Morning MrsG KEF and Lily. Bishops Children are dark leafed dahlias that you can grow from seed - someone put pics on here last summer, so thought i'd give it a go. They are meant to get big enough to flower their first season. ...... Thats good news, since my track record of keeping dahlias alive is not good ...... So it could be their last season too
Wow Lizzie - thats a productive GH. Know what you mean about the weeds - its like painting the Forth Bridge here. Hope your car is sorted soon Dove.
just about to go inspect my GH - just to see whats grown. Dahlias were all potted up at the weekend, and all had already got little shoots showing. And my lupins and Bishops Children have now graduated out there from the windowsills ... keeping fleece and lids to hand.
good days to all of you
Just to remind those who were interested, there is a new show on great gardens (Dixter, Sissinghurst et al) on BBC4 tomorrow night (tues) at 9pm. I've just set the planner
Also Beechgrove is also back on bbc2 on Sunday morning (for those in England - think its Thursday night in Scotland).
and the Great Allotment Challenge is the following Tues at 8pm ..... Not sure if gardening really lends itself to the knockout show/reality tv format .... But i'll give it a go
So a feast of small screen garden stuff
Verdun - i have a few daffs that are in the wrong place. Can i dig them up in a few weeks time and grow them in pots til next year then ???
LOVE magnolias KEF - and those are both lovely ones, with really good shapes. The pieris in the corner is looking good too

In a 2-1 decision this morning in the Shelby County case, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the continued constitutionality of section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.
Writing for the majority, Judge Tatel said:
In Northwest Austin, the Supreme Court signaled that the extraordinary federalism costs imposed by section 5 raise substantial constitutional concerns. As a lower federal court urged to strike this duly enacted law of Congress, we must proceed with great caution, bound as we are by Supreme Court precedent and confined as we must be to resolve only the precise legal question before us: Does the severe remedy of preclearance remain 'congruent and proportional'? The legislative record is by no means unambiguous. But Congress drew reasonable conclusions from the extensive evidence it gathered and acted pursuant to the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, which entrust Congress with ensuring that the right to vote - surely among the most important guarantees of political liberty in the Constitution - is not abridged on account of race. In this context, we owe much deference to the considered judgment of the People's elected representatives.
Judge Williams dissented, writing that in his view that "when Congress passed the 2006 version of the VRA, it not only disregarded but flouted [constitutional] concerns."
Judge Williams' dissent went on to say:
Preclearance now has an exclusive focus - whether the plan diminishes the ability of minorities (always assumed to be a monolith) to 'elect their preferred candidates of choice,' irrespective of whether policymakers (including minority ones) decide that a group's long-term interests might be better served by less concentration- and thus less of the political isolation that concentration spawns.
[A] congressional mandate to assure the electoral impact of any minority's majority seems to me to be more of a distortion than an enforcement of the 15th Amendment's ban on abridging the 'right of citizens of the United States to vote … on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.' Preventing intentional discrimination against a minority is radically different than actively encouraging racial gerrymandering in favor of the minority (really, the majority of the minority), as § 5 does.
With the opinion out, the case almost certainly looks set to be heard by the Supreme Court in its Fall term.
The court's opinion and Judge Williams' dissent can be found here.

"Relax. Breathe. God is in control." Fortunately I still use those words a lot, so you'll be fine. And even though those words annoy you most when you need to hear them, it will keep you from losing your mind when you start to panic at the thought of whether life does get better or worse as you get older. Read slowly. Or fast. You have never let the world tell you what to do anyway.
Firstly, I think its important that you find out sooner rather than later that you do not have to learn every single lesson for yourself. And especially not more than once. It isn't because of some karmic law that you have to struggle to appreciate the good that is most welcome in your life. So in random example, heart-breaks are not a "must-have" experience to fully appreciate love. You've always been and always will be a loving being. (Of course like everyone else, you sometimes have funny ways of showing it!). Pain is not a "normal" part of life. Luckily you learn that lesson around the same time you learnt that it actually is true that what does not kill you makes you stronger.
Like the one crush you pined away for is a subtle reminder that you Do actually get over it (and any other heartbreak seems less doom & gloom). And that in fact, there is no real point in afflicting immeasurable hurt on yourself by spending hours in end formulating all the things that could be wrong with you that one guy does not like, what you could change and eventually - the more you think about what's wrong with you, it becomes a belief. Years later, it makes sense when you realise how much of yourself you've changed in a quest for love.
Remember how mom would reprimand you for staring at the phone and refusing to let anyone else near the phone because you needed to "keep the line free in case X calls"? Simple advice that seemed cruel to you last week will change the way you treat yourself in a few years' time. "Get up from that couch and go out and have some kind of fun! Watch a movie by yourself, get yourself some ice cream and get your hair done! Those things are no less exciting because you are doing it on your own. Enjoy spending time with yourself and don't waste it waiting." In her infinite wisdom, this "Mom" woman is and always will be the voice of reason.
Then there are the good or bad intentions that people around you will feel obliged to impose on you about your future are only as true as you will let them become. You are a working professional care of yourself now. Who would have thought? You are blessed enough to still enjoy eating whatever you want when your body asks for it without turning into a whale. Simply put, those "pseudo-prophecies" should not go further than your ears. Accept only the truths you want to believe of yourself and your future. (Insert "sigh of relief" here). I still owe you for always being sporty because I still eat like a rugby player but keeping healthy with plenty of exercise. Oh, and please be kind to the black skinny jeans from Varsity? Thanks to the advice on paying close attention to what your body wants - they still fit! Happy dance.
If it is at all possible, hold off on the negative self-talk. There's no "kinder" way to say it. Quite a bit of your drama is a fabric of the things you think and start to believe. The word deserve is used far too loosely in life. You don't deserve this because of what you did there. You do, however deserve that which you believe you do (if that makes sense?). The world around you is and always will confirm that which you believe of yourself. That bad day you had? Well, you called it before it even happened. The Universe just agreed. The same goes with all the big stuff. We'll go as far as you believe us to. For the record, you would do cartwheels if you knew how well you are doing in the future. So believe it. Hold onto that picture. As much as growing up does not get any easier, it definitely makes more sense when you spend even more of your time being present and looking ahead than you do dwelling on the why's and the wherefores.
Try to remember that nothing is ever really a waste of time. Each experience you are having has made me who I am now – whatever its outcome. The gains and the losses, the missed opportunities, the ones that got away – or the ones you had to let go. The same goes with that missed flight and the denied Visa to study overseas. It always works out. It is never the end of the story. So don't waste time wishing it away or praying it was different. The only perspective that should really matter to you at these and every other fork in the roads – is yours. What you chose to make of it is all the buzz here in the future.
So I'm writing this post from a balcony at 6am. Yes. Hanging out with myself – by myself and loving it! You will become your very own happy space. At 25 you'll think you've got it all figured out and the happy space is in a relationship or getting that job. Believe it or not, you actually believe that happiness is kicking butt and taking names. You'll be glad to know that it evolves into the ultimate comfort to look after YOU. To take time out for YOU. But more so, to be attentive to what Gugu wants – and not what she thinks the Universe or society thinks she should want/need/should be going though now.
Now for the serious stuff. I know you won't get to read this in time, but embrace the skin you are in. Love family and try not to waste time chasing friends and neglecting them. Stay home on a Saturday when Mom starts acting out signs that she misses spending time with you. Pick your battles with her. At 17 you're quite a selfish daughter, trying to be awesome at everything else. It gets worse in varsity where you get a taste of this so-called independent life you have been dreaming off. Return her calls, or at least use more than a rushed phone call to communicate with her. Pay more attention to the stories she tells of where you come from. Spend more time traveling with her. For some strange reason, at 27 I would give anything for another long drive with her! Say yes when she asks you to clean her room. You later realise that you are the only person she lets near her personal stuff. Keep hearing her out when she just wants to share her week with you. In fact, call her even more often. You'll wish you had.
As much as it seems pretty grand here in the future, I hate to break it to you that as much of a super-power as she is, Mom is not here. Like a lightning bold, without warning she is no longer a part of this world. It sucks without Mom. And it's all the things I just mentioned that keep you going. You've made it through a year and a half without her now. The things you thought annoyed you about her as the cheeky teenager and young woman are what you later hold onto as the quirky things you embrace most about who you are. It's only now in 2011 that you will begin to find comfort in that; the lessons on self-love, the importance of a relationship with God and your family, how to make a really mean Mac n' Cheese or decent cup of tea are like a bear-hug from her to you.
This could all get very overwhelming - but just breathe. God is still in control. Live. That's all you need to do. As a last request from me – well, for now at least. Give Mom a hug; tell her how much you appreciate her. Take more pictures. Smile more often. And pretty please – be kinder to yourself. Go easy. It all works out perfectly.

Spinifex gets Chinese finance approval

Hanlong Mining Investment Ltd has received final approval from the Chinese government for its planned financing of the Spinifex Ridge molybdenum-copper project in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Spinifex is operated by Perth-based Moly Mines Ltd, which has confirmed that China's National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) has given its permission for Hanlong to fund development of the 10Mt/y molybdenum-copper mine. Production from the separate iron-ore mine at Spinifex commenced at the end of November.
In an agreement signed in October 2009, Moly Mines' major shareholder Hanlong committed to arranging US$500 million in project finance for the project by the end of next month. NDRC has approved Chinese bank loans of up to US$466 million, with the balance currently being sourced by Hanlong.
With these funds now secured, Moly Mines' banking syndicate will finalise the terms of the remainder of the project financing. This arrangement is expected to be completed by end-January.
Iron-ore production at Spinifex has started at a rate of 1Mt/y, with initial shipments of fines being expected by mid-December (using the company's stockpiling facilities at Utah Point at Port Hedland).

Back Surgery, Raindrop Therapy

The power of essential oils....I have been with one of our friends she is one of our Essential oil distributors from Bismarck. 6 months ago she had a pretty major back surgery procedure done. They ended up putting a cage around one of her vertebrae BC of a disk problem. Not long after that she fell and the cage SLIPPED! OUCH! She has been putting up with lots of leg/nerve/back pain since. They finally agreed to go in and fix the problem...this time pulling more muscle tissue into and unto the cage area to hold it in place.
I was not there last time but her family was. Getting Krista comfortable B4 on the last surgery required narcotic after narcotic and they got her to a tolerable state never really covering the pain from what I am told. This time they pulled more muscle tissue into the area and anchored the cage in farther into her spine....the great news is ~ with the help of essential oils from the Raindrop Kit...Frankincense..Melissa...Palo Santo....& Panaway...Krista was off of the pain pump in 6 hours (last time she was on it for 48 hours)! This time she was able to come home with 1/4th of the pain meds.
Today about 5 minutes after getting home she was walking around the house as if nothing had happened...and she has had company all day. This is less than 72 hours after another major back surgery. Maybe someday she can put into words for us what the difference was. I was there this time and the only way I knew she had surgery is when I was pouring Frankincense into the staples that the surgeon left behind. What a beautiful thing to witness!
NOTE: We only put the oils from the raindrop oils on the spine of her feet. Just so you know.

Editor's note: This is a guest post from Mitzi Poesener. Mitzi Poesener is the pseudonym of a British sex worker, writer, and activist, living and working in London.
It's been six days since the raids on sex workers in Soho, and there is still rampant speculation about the real motives behind the actions. The operation (code named Demontere) was the result of 18 months worth of investigations, and involved 200 officers in riot vans supported by sniffer dogs and a helicopter.
It has been reported that this is Westminster council's biggest operation in years. For such a large operation it is interesting to note that only 22 people have been arrested. Other sex workers have been sent, without charges, to detention centers run by UKBA, despite apparently stating they have not been trafficked or made to work against their will.
There was a strong media presence on the raids, with journalists and photographers from all the main media outlets being invited to follow the police, and consequently publishing photos that have incensed the sex worker community.
While the police rhetoric is that 'this is not about the prosecution of prostitutes' it is hard to reconcile that when the media coverage has been saturated with photos of sex workers having their pictures taken against their will. Statements from the sex worker lead organizations English Collective of Prostitutes and Sex Workers Open University show how little trust the sex work community has that the raids were carried out in good faith.
Prostitution is legal in the UK, although there are restrictions on the kind of work permitted. The main restriction is on multiple sex workers working from a single residence. This generally occurs because having other people close by can help keep a worker safe, and help protect them from potentially dangerous situations. However this is deemed to be a 'brothel', whether it fits our stereotypical melodramatic vision of a 'brothel' or not.
The police have used the concept of brothels both as an excuse for this week's raids as well as for putting pressure on landlords to evict sex workers in Soho back in October. Sex working tenants were told that they could face eviction if found to be allowing 'immoral activities.' When the tenants refused to leave police backed up their landlords' warnings with enforcement notices. The police justified their actions by saying that they were '[tackling] historic crime problems' and as stated, used the fact that some of these residences might qualify as 'brothels' in their defense.
There was speculation at the time that the threat of eviction was motivated by a wish to 'clean up' the area, as property owners begin building more and more retail and entertainment areas looking to lure tourists to the area. While at the time their suspicions were hard to confirm, it seems that Councillor Roe's comments on this week's raids add fuel to that fire:
'The night time economy is a cornerstone of the West End's success and, as part of the West End Partnership, Westminster City Council works to promote the area as a safe place for law abiding people to live and do business.
'Drugs, theft, handling stolen goods and human trafficking have no part in that which is why Westminster City Council stands shoulder to shoulder with the Metropolitan Police Service in Operation Demontere.
'Together, we're sending the clear message that the insidious tentacles of the criminal underworld will not be allowed to spread through Soho unchecked and unchallenged.
There is no mention of the fact that sex workers have helped make Soho the vibrant area that it is, but rather lumping them in with pick pockets and thieves.
It is easy for the police to say that they are helping sex workers by detaining them when they frame sex work as being something that is perforce touched by 'the insidious tentacles of the criminal underworld'. The public, who are not generally acquainted with sex worker lead activism due to their denial of platforms by the mainstream media, see the rhetoric that these brothels are creating an unsafe area, and that they are harbouring trafficked women, and think that the police will be able to 'give them the help they need' in exiting the industry. However if we were to look beyond police statements, and listen to sex workers we would hear the voice of the ECP:
Some immigrant women were taken into custody on the pretext that they may be victims of trafficking, despite their protestations that they were not being forced to work.
Had the raids culminated in the arrested of score upon score of thief, drug dealer, money launderer, and human trafficker, then it would be easier to believe and support the police's claims. However, it seems trafficking rhetoric has been meshed with the usual platitudes about cleaning up an area, and helping 'vulnerable' women. Sex workers are vulnerable because their work is not afforded the same respect and access to safe working spaces that others are. By punishing them for working together in brothels to ensure their safety, and taking them into custody on the off chance they might be trafficked (presumably in order to make a large scale police operation seem more effective), the police show that their concerns over safety may not not be as altruistic as first stated.
At every level, from street workers to 'courtesans', there are people working because it is the right job for them. What we all want is the freedom to work in ways that make our lives safer and easier. To assume that we are all coerced, or working for pimps, is to totally disregard the legitimacy of our choices and the free agency we are capable of having.
Are there trafficked people in sex work? Of course, but the problem extends to domestic workers, manual labourers, and factory workers. If the trafficking campaigners genuinely cared about people working in inhumane conditions against their will they would be pushing to help 'liberate' these people too. Their lack of interest in non-sex workers shows that their actions stem not from concern about our freedoms and safety, but from their distaste for our jobs. As it has been said, time and time again, sex work is work, and we deserve the same respect and protection that all workers (theoretically) receive from the state.
Currently I do not work from a flat, or a 'brothel', and therefore am unlikely to have the police breaking down my door any time soon and for this I am thankful. However I support the rights of my colleagues to work however they best see fit. Whether my support comes from standing outside the court where they are being tried on Wednesday protesting the raids with my colleagues, or writing this piece so that the wider public can hear about the state aggression they face, I want them to know that they are not alone, and that I truly believe that in time we will be able to work without fear.

5 Things Only Girls With Curly Hair Can Do At Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week kicked off yesterday with a bang and we're nothing short of excited to see all the beauties who are there to stalk the latest fall trends!
But as I people watched I had an epiphany. There are a few things that us curly girls can totally do during fashion week that no one else can.
1. You don't have to worry about washing your hair this week.
Is washing your hair daily a task that only I hate with a passion? I know you beauties feel my pain.
But this week I was determined to cut down my shower time and rock my natural hair big and free.
Crystal Martin, Senior Beauty Editor at ESSENCE Magazine
2. Who needs a hat, that's what your hair is for!
It's a frighten type of wind chill outside. I mean, duh it's winter right.
Normally I would sport a big furry hat but often times you get a little overheated racing down these New York City streets to get to the next show.
So ditch the hat this week and let your tresses be your warmth. I promise, you will not get pneumonia.
3. Get a completely different look at a NYFW lounge.
Fashion week is more about the experience. Of course we care about the shows, but what girl doesn't want to be pampered.
Take a seat in one of those comfy salon-like lounge chairs and request a curly style sure to grab everyone's attention!
image via Guestofaguest.com
4. Get noticed.
Just think, there will be a line of fashionistas posted up outside of the Lincoln Center just itching to get photographed for street style.
Most are wearing ridiculous get-ups and outrageous shoes. But you step up and traffic stops all because of your hair. How grand is that?!
image via Blondebedhead.com
5. Inspire someone to get bigger hair.
And after you stop traffic, people will want to touch your hair. It's ok, because you're an inspiration to them.
They're wishing their hair would get that big—and most importantly, mad they're spending an extra 45 minutes straightening their hair.

Book Review: Skyjack: The Hunt for D.B. Cooper
There are few sub genres of non-fiction more satisfying than that of a bizarre event recounted in the context of much larger themes. Timothy Egan, who has chronicled both the Dust Bowl of the 1930s and the wildfires of 1910 that prompted a widespread conservation movement, is the master of transforming history lessons into gripping page-turners. New York Magazine's Geoffrey Gray, though not in the same league, has proven himself also adept with his quickly paced, charged retelling of D.B. Cooper's hijack of a plane on Thanksgiving eve 1971 in Skyjack.
What makes Cooper so tantalizing and popular a topic (Skyjack's bibliography features three full-length books about the case) is that when he parachuted out of Northwest Oriental Airline's Flight 305, he—and $200,000—disappeared without a trace. And though Gray doesn't solve the case, his years of research have turned up a cast of characters living on the fringe, all of whom are slightly desperate to prove that someone they know was Cooper.
There's Barbara Dayton, née Robert, a transsexual with a startlingly thorough knowledge of the speeds and altitudes involved in the jump. Or was it former Northwest Oriental Airlines purser Kenneth Christiansen? Or maybe the mysterious Duane Weber, whose widow spends decades of her life researching his criminal past and whose shady history leads Gray into a rabbit hole of possible government conspiracies? The list of possible suspects is endless and the law enforcement agents assigned to the case over the years are obsessed. By the time Skyjack ends, Gray—isolated in a cabin, hiding at the sound of footsteps outside—is more than a little obsessed himself.
If the narrative dead ends (a given, since the case remains unsolved), it's Gray's meticulous, New Journalism pursuit of all possible leads that eventually drives the story. He combs through yearbooks; he goes searching in the woods where Cooper was assumed to have landed. He starts seeing clues in everything, even a cherry cheesecake recipe. After a while, the central mystery takes a backseat to the mysteries surrounding the men and women still obsessed with Cooper, like whether a famed civilian Cooper sleuth is actually as dedicated as he says, or if Weber's widow has been reduced to sheer paranoia for no reason. There's no destination in sight, but Skyjack is one hell of a ride.

Security Basics
mailing list archives
Some people in the information security industry actually care about
securing systems and the information they contain rather than filling
in check boxes.
So what's the problem? .. if you have done it according to (or
exceeding) the spec .. check the box, buy a box of donuts for the
auditor .. let them look it over, and be done with it.
Compliance may ensure a minimum standard is met, but
it does not ensure or imply that real security is being maintained at
an organization.
If VISA (et.al.) could define "real security" and write it down, they
would. What is "real security" exactly? .. I'd argue the only "secure"
computer is one that's still sealed in the factory carton. Break the
seal, game over .. just like it says on a box of Band-Aids "Sterility
guaranteed until opened".
As you say, PCI has become a cost of doing business whereas having a
secure network is apparently not a cost of doing business. This is a
The thinking goes .. that if you implement the PCI standards and aim to
actually do as it suggests (meaning doing what the documents suggests
*correctly* .. not just having a blinkinlight in place so you can check
a box) .. you're already down the right path.
Even so .. the problem with securing networks/systems is there's
millions of "them" and only a few of "you". Also .. you have to be right
100% of the time, and "they" only have to get lucky once.

Boy! Wouldn't OT be great! This is just what America has been waiting to see.
"Well the last three minutes of this game are going to be like a root canal, I can tell you that!" Groannnnnnn....... and here come the timeouts....
Not going well.
Way to work the clock and get a good final shot, guys. Thanks.
Overtime. You have got to be kidding me.
This is ridiculous! What a great play for a last shot... how about we waste 20 seconds and then take a 25 footer? Sounds good to me!
OT.... you have got to be kidding me. I just don't understand WHY WHY WHY won't ESPN and CBS give 2 hours and 15 minutes per game?
Very predictable - will they cut away in our region?
O overlords of cbs......please END this thing so we can see the Devils......BTW, did y'all just hear lyin'woody's audio after they showed the half second of warm-ups at the den of evil?
We need separation!
Come on, guys. Tell me you're kidding by sticking with this Missouri Valley game. We want Duke--Carolina!!
I'm pretty sure that everyone who is not related to someone in this game doesn't give a damn about the outcome.
Good God, can either team please get a wider margin?
Anyone know the actual tip time of Duke/UNC?
Thank god we all made those calls.
It went into overtime...
The day the Earth stood still.
Whatdya think, double overtime??
Way to be smart CBS!

Rensselaer IOBoard
™ is a small, inexpensive hardware platform for use in a classroom environment. Coupled with the
Mobile Studio Desktop
™ software, the system duplicates a large amount of the hardware often used to teach Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Control Systems, and Physics, among others.
The hardware component of the system is a small printed circuit board, populated with all the components required to implement an oscilloscope, function generator, spectrum analyzer, volt meter, and digital input/output. The hardware connects to a PC via USB, and is powered by the user's PC, eliminating the need for a bulky AC transformer. The hardware costs about as much as an average textbook.
On the PC, the included Mobile Studio Desktop™ software provides the user with "benchtop equivalent" displays that mimic their physical counterparts. This allows students to learn how to use the instruments, and have the knowledge gained be applicable to their future careers. In addition to providing standard instrumentation options, the software takes advantage of the immense processing power of the modern PC, giving the user access to features usually only found on high-end equipment, and the ability to easily save data and plots.
The Rensselaer IOBoard™ is easily expandable by way of several daughterboard connectors. Nearly all the resources of the board can be accessed by a daughterboard, allowing a daughterboard to enhance current features or add completely new features. For advanced daughterboards, inter-processor communication is available between the IOBoard and a daughterboard.
The Mobile Studio Desktop™ software is also easily expandable by way of a "Plugin" system. The software automatically finds and loads both new hardware drivers and new features that can be installed at any time after the main application. This ensures that both your hardware and software are never out of date.
For those looking to use the Rensselaer IOBoard™ in a control environment, the hardware also communicates with National Instruments' LabVIEW 8.

'The Five': The Fox News Channel's most delightfully crazy show
Imagine my surprise last Friday when I turned on my favorite guilty pleasure — Fox News' The Five, its five-person, 5 p.m. five-days-a-week replacement for the full-fathom-five insanity of Glenn Beck — and saw little ol' me getting slammed by the panel. There on screen was the cover of the new Muppetastic Entertainment Weekly alongside a pic of my ugly mug, as one of the Five, Greg Gutfeld, criticized me for my review suggesting that last week's South Park was slightly weaker than some of its recent, sterling efforts.

Andy Rooney: He was more than just the great grump of '60 Minutes'
Andy Rooney, who became famous delivering his "A Few Minutes With… " segments on 60 Minutes, has died. He was 92 years old. Rooney won five Emmy Awards, including a 2003 "Lifetime Achievement" Emmy; his first was for writing the 1968 CBS News documentary Black History: Lost, Stolen, or Strayed.
The most highly visible link to the first generation of TV personalities — he wrote for anchors, reporters, and entertainers — Rooney was a lot more than the "cranky," "Did you ever notice FILL IN BLANK?" guy that too many people ridiculed. READ FULL STORY
Ruth Madoff on '60 Minutes': Hard to believe?
It was hard to believe Ruth Madoff on 60 Minutes, on a couple of levels. The first was why 60 Minutes had her on its show. Even as a craven ratings ploy, it was pretty embarrassing for the news magazine to devote time to the wife of convicted financial advisor Bernie Madoff. Morley Safer's kid-gloves scoffing at Ruth's gullability was supposed to pass as journalistic interrogation, but what did the segment really provide, other than an opportunity for Ruth to natter on about her ignorance of her husband's massive Ponzi scheming?

CNN Republican debate turned into 'Ocean's Seven': It was Vegas, baby!
The "Western Republican Presidential Debate," televised by CNN, began with a heavily produced intro that made sure you knew the debate took place in Las Vegas. A gritty-voiced narrator ran down the current odds for the candidates, their pictures placed on playing cards tossed onto green felt. The poker game where "the stakes are high"! Where Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Ron Paul are "wild cards"! Wayne Newton was in the audience! READ FULL STORY

Andy Rooney signs off: Here's why there's a lot more to his TV work than cranky observations (with VIDEO)
Andy Rooney, in signing off from 60 Minutes this weekend, said that "this is the moment I've dreaded" — the final weekly installment of his "few minutes" segments. But Rooney is actually ending a chapter in TV history that many have likely forgotten, if you ever knew it to begin with. Rooney has long been the most highly visible link to the first generation of TV personalities — anchors, reporters, and entertainers. He's a helluva a lot more than the "cranky," "Did you ever notice FILL IN BLANK?" guy that too many people ridicule these days. READ FULL STORY

text: I just came from my doctor's office. He is somewhat amused by the SCA and the things we do. When I mention I had purchased a horn for carving, he asked me if I'd be interested in carving IVORY. Dr. Faigin told me that several years ago he had told a patient that he was going on vacation to Alaska and the patient had asked for him to bring back a piece of ivory for some carving. Well, what Dr. Faigin brought back is an 18" walrus tusk, in jawbone, that had a very small amount of carving on it. It was purchased from the artist who did that wee bit of carving, but there was much blank ivory left. Unfortunately, the patient decided he did not want to pay the $850 for the walrus tusk; so, said doctor is stuck with tusk and would like to get it out of his office. So, if any of you wonderfully artistic and ambitious carvers would be interested in carving ivory, of if you just want the thing for its artistic value, email me privately and I will give you his information. //Elizabeth Hawkwood Shire of Loch Ruadh somerlidh at yahoo.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?

As a family car, the Mondeo it makes far more sense as practical five-door while the boot-adorned rear isn't as good looking. Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Sharp styling, hugely spacious interior, wonderfully refined long distance cruiser, great to drive Lacks practicality and load carrying ability of hatch, satellite navigation isn't standard on any model, more difficult to sell used New price range: £16,695 - £28,086 Used price range: £2,589 - £10,892 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 4 out of 5 While the hatchback version of the Mondeo is hugely popular, the saloon sells in relatively few numbers. As a family car, the Mondeo it makes far more sense as practical five-door while the boot-adorned rear isn't as good looking. That's not to say the saloon isn't as good in every other department. Like the rest of the range it is great to drive, hugely spacious inside and wonderfully refined. There's also a great range of engines available - although there's no low-emission ECOnetic model. Overlook the Ford badge and the top range models rival prestige cars like the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in terms of build quality and equipment levels are more generous. In 2010 the Mondeo received a little cosmetic surgery, the most noticeable part of this refresh it the new nose-job. The front-end has had a complete overhaul, including an enlarged lower grille and a smaller upper grille, while the rear receives new LED tail-lights, an all-new bumper, a reshaped valance and an integrated rear spoiler. The interior has also had a little nip/tuck. There is now a one-piece central console that is soft to touch and the plastics are of a higher quality. More kit is offered as standard including blind-spot alerts, lane-departure steering-wheel vibrators, an alertness assessor, a rear-view camera, automatic headlight dipping speed limiter and LED daytime running lights. However the less practical saloon will be harder to sell on the second-hand market.

I was pleased to see that all of my data was preserved, I went through a very easy process. I had a few questions that I submitted support ticket for to the developer and I had responses, with clear details on how to get things done, within hours and some within minutes!
Not only is it a great extension and does the job, getting help is just a breeze. And the video tutorials top it off and make it easy to follow the instructions for those, like me, who like to see the examples.
From practical stand point, I find it very easy to use and install. It took me maybe 30 mins to set it up originally when I was still adjusting it to my site with all the features it has. And it took me less than 5 minutes to upgrade from version 1.6 beta version to current 1.5 stable version and will be upgrading to 2.0 when it's stable.
Great part of this upgrade was that I didn't lose any events. I simply uninstalled 1.6 beta, installed 1.5, enabled modules and was up and running.
How is that for a smooth backward upgrade compatibility!
Dmitri Ivanenko
Glad it's going smooth. Satisfied subscribers don't always return to write a review...Cheers!
Easy to install, configure and maintain. Lots of configuration options. Lots of features for users. Very nice design, configurable as well.
Especially nice to have an all in one solution, i.e. mail notifier, mailbox display, and the system itself.
Well done!
Considering that it also links to profile / CB, I am quite pleased to have this PMS running on my site!

GRAIN CART UPSET: Local police were called near the intersection of 20th Street and Lake Avenue Friday morning when a grain cart pulled by farmer Mark Oberg in a tractor slipped on an icy Lake Avenue and overturned in front of E.G. West Park. Police officials said Oberg was pulling two grain carts at about 7 a.m. when he started slipping on the ice and braked. The two carts swung to the side of the tractor and started to pull the equipment down the hill backwards. The report said the tractor and one of the carts hit a wall that encircles the park. The second cart came around the front of the tractor and struck its front, tearing a hole in the cart and spilling corn. The second grain cart snapped the bolts that attached the carts together and came to a rest against the wall. Oberg was uninjured but traffic was detoured around the accident until about noon to clean up the area.
