Awareness: A de Mello Spirituality Conference in His Own Words (Paperback)
"This is your wake-up call! You may not have even realized you were sleep-walking. Most of us are most of the time. Awareness is an eye-opener. It's Anthony de Mello telling you gently but firmly, 'It's time to get up now.'" --Charles Osgood of "CBS Sunday Morning" and "The Osgood File"
"Awareness will be the critical test of American business in the next decade. I call it the 'business of awareness.'" --F.X. Maguire, Hearth Communications Group
The heart of Anthony de Mello's bestselling spiritual message is awareness. Mixing Christian spirituality, Buddhist parables, Hindu breathing exercises, and psychological insight, de Mello's words of hope come together in Awareness in a grand synthesis.
In short chapters for reading in quiet moments at home or at the office, he cajoles and challenges: We must leave this go-go-go world of illusion and become aware. And this only happens, he insists, by becoming alive to the needs and potential of others, whether at home or in the workplace.
Here, then, is a masterful book of the spirit, challenging us to wake up in every aspect of our lives.
About the Author
Anthony de Mello, SJ, is the author of many spiritual bestsellers, including "Sadhana," "Awareness," and "The Way to Love. "A native and lifelong resident of India, de Mello taught throughout the world, and his books have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. He died in 1987.
Stroud is a Jesuit priest who worked closely with Anthony de Mello.

I've been testing a bit with using $.Deferred() in jQuery lately and got a question. While deferred and promises are great for ajaxcalls that's only intended to run once, I also got a form for adding new users that posts with ajax needs to be runnable multiple times. Now this crashes with the binary(ish) state of a deferred/promise as once they're resolved or rejected it'll keep that state. So my questions are:
-Can I use deferred for a task that will be called multiple times? -If possible, is it recommended to use deferred for this or should I stick to the old method with just using the success/error callbacks of $.ajax?
Here some code I got together for posting the form, which works great once, but not multiple times.
var submittingUser = new $.Deferred();
var savingUser = submittingUser.pipe(function(data) {
return $.post('ajax.php', data);
$("#add_new_user").click(function() {
var data = $("#add_user_form").serialize();
return false;
savingUser.then(function() {
}, function() {

They feel that despite their often heroic (and unheralded) efforts to fend off the near constant attacks on our founding charter by the enemies of limited government, the vigorous eradication of the first principles of liberty continues unabated.

The study, which set out to analyze whether the U.S. power grid is prepared for technologies and power sources over the next 20 years, recommended a host of policy changes to gird the grid against coming challenges, including new powers and authorities regarding the emerging smart grid, particularly around cybersecurity.
Currently, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation are empowered to create and police cybersecurity standards for power plants, but no organization has oversight over the grid itself, and states are headed in their own directions. In addition, the agencies with cybersecurity responsibilities aren't working together enough, the study found.
[ Cybersecurity is one part of the feds' four-pillar smart grid plan. Learn about the other three: White House Unveils National Smart Grid Strategy Framework. ]
"To cope more effectively with increasing cybersecurity threats, a single federal agency should be given responsibility for cybersecurity preparedness, response, and recovery across the entire electric power sector, including both bulk power and distribution systems," the report says. "Ongoing jurisdictional confusion raises security concerns, underscoring the need for action."
That's a point of major concern for a power system that the MIT report points out will soon see massive growth in the amount of data flowing over its lines as smart meters and synchophasors (devices that measure and help optimize power transmission) come online and power companies begin to push more and more data-enabled services over power lines.
"With the collection, transmission, processing, and storage of increasing amounts of information also comes heightened concern for protecting the privacy of that information," the report said. Information on personal electricity use habits, for example, will become more widely available to electric companies than ever before.
Hackers, not just the corporations themselves, will likely be interested in this data and opportunities to disrupt the grid. The Wall Street Journal reported in 2009 that Chinese and Russian government hackers were likely already looking for points of cyber weakness in the smart grid.
Various observers and policymakers also have argued for a centralized point of authority for smart grid cybersecurity, with various parties arguing for the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Energy, or the current electricity and energy regulatory bodies. MIT didn't recommend any particular agency over any other, but said designating one should be a high priority.
In addition to better management of cybersecurity, the MIT researchers recommended that the government spend more on research and development into procedures for response to and recovery from cyberattacks on the grid.
Cybersecurity wasn't the only IT fix the MIT study recommended to bolster the power grid in the future. The researchers also suggested that the energy industry do more R&D into using IT for bulk power system operations and planning for power transmission over wide geographic areas.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

In a case of adultery and bringing charges against a military member in accordance with the UCMJ article 134, once an accusation is made, can it be retracted by the person making the accusation, in essence, like "dropping the charges" in a civilian court? At one point is the evidence presented and does this affect being able to drop the charges?

I was arrested in california for pc 647(f), public intoxication. I am in the California Army National Guard. I was later released without a court date or citation. No charges filed. Do I have to report it to my commanding officer?
Doctoral Degree
I am a US Marine currently assigned as a recruiter. Due to what I feel are unsatisfactory work conditions that are adversely impacting my family and my mental health (70 hour work weeks, complete disregard for my own and my family's physical/mental/emotional well being), I notified my commanding officer that I want to be reassigned and do not wish to continue my tour of recruiting duty. My commanding officer became irate and notified me that I was not authorized to resign my duties, and that if I refused to continue my recruiting duties, that she will charge me with Article 92 and/or Article 15 non-judicial punishment, continually until my career is destroyed. I have never had any punitive or disciplinary paperwork or actions taken against me in my 8 years of service. Up to this point, I have had an exemplary career. I have no desire to continue my service at this point, but I want to know to what extent would this likely be pursued? I imagine this is likely an article 15 NJP type of offense, but can I continually be given subsequent article 15's indefinitely? When and how does this end, and how would it impact my discharge? What, if anything, can I do to defend myself?
My husband was recently threatened by his Platoon Seargent with UCMJ charges for malingering. Last Monday, 4/11, he was called to the office by his platoon sgt. where he was told that he did not believe he had a back injury. He was told that if he does not reach 200lbs or less by 6-1-16, that he would be pressing malingering charges against him. He has made solid progress with his weight. At his January weigh in, he weighed 228lbs and at his March weigh in, he was 216lbs. He has not yet been weighed for April, but is still on the right path. He was also told that he hasn't had an active profile since August and needed to take the upcoming PT test this Thursday.He has received treatments for back pain from the clinic, physical therapy, and physical medicine and has been told different issues from each. He is currently being treated with steroid injections in his back, along with a tens unit prescribed for the house because the pain is constantly there. His clinic provider told him the MRI showed fluid build up in his spine (who 2 months later said he could find nothing wrong and spoke with his Platoon Sgt. on 4/11, which started this situation), his physical therapist told him that he had mild scoliosis, and Physical medicine told him he had T4 and T5 deterioration as well as an L3 compaction.Being med boarded has been brought up to him numerous times by different providers and even his platoon Sgt. I feel as if they are trying to push him out for malingering so they don't have to deal with his disability. He is constantly discriminated against, pulling the same extra duties as other soldiers (they get a comp day) and he does not. He has been promised comp days without receiving them, even when other soldiers get theirs. He has never in any way refused a duty, let alone to his back injury.Today, he spoke with a provider to get his profile renewed (that he thought was done in Feb) since they cannot turn people away on MOD and they are REFUSING to see him until his pt test is done Thursday. He did not even ask for a profile renewal specifically, he is having shoulder pain as well. I am not sure of the legalities of this. It is one thing to deny treatment or giving a profile, it is another to refuse to see him.I would like some advice on how to proceed at this point. He is not comfortable going up his chain of command seeing as how there is discrimination in the ranks and feels he will be unfairly treated as he already has.Thank you in advance.
I am supposed to join navy boot camp as a reserve in few days. 2 months ago,I went to MEPS with my recruiter and took first oath. I was supposed to leave for boot camp at the end of this year but suddenly one day my recruiter asked me that I'm leaving at the end of april. From first oath to uptil now, certain things have happened in my life .Due to these , it is difficult for me to join navy. Can I deny to go to boot camp?. If I don't go in boot camp, will it have any impact on my naturalization process (at the end of this year).? Will there be any impact on my job or doing business in future?. If I don't go in boot camp, what kind of discharge, navy will issue me?

Note : I was arrested over a year ago for drunk and disorderly conduct... case was dismissed..i have served for over 16 yrs and have never been in trouble
I was injured, in a flight line accident in summer 1962. The doctor who treated me, told me that my back injury was inoperable and that I would have to wear the back brace for the rest of my life. I was given a permanent "no Duty" slip. My commanding officer recommended me for re-enlistment, but I made a decision to go to college and asked for an early out. I received and honorable discharge for the convenience of the government AFR 39-14. I just recently got copies of my military papers from the St Louis records center, but they do not have my medical records. I believe I should have gotten a medical discharge. Is there anything I can do. thank you G.H.Vaughn AF# *****
My name is***** I met a man on a dating site that claims to be a United States Army soldier in Afghanistan. After we spoke many times online he told me he wanted to opt out of his deployment. He told me he wanted to revoke his own deployment orders. This is something I have never heard of before. Long story short, he gave me an email address of what he called his undercover agent and asked me to write him and ask him how I can help get this man out of the military. I sent an email to the person that he gave me and I got an email back from someone claiming to be a lieutenant general with the first Battalion the man told me that I would have to pay $1350 to him to buy this soldiers opt out. It sounds like a scam to me have you ever heard of anything like this?JA: Thanks. Can you give me any more details about your issue?Customer: The soldier claims to be Sgt Maj Steven SchultzJA: OK got it.

Cannonball Read V: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
By Jamie Pomerhn | Book Reviews | August 28, 2013 | Comments ()
While Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings has been on my reading list for years, I have just now gotten around to reading it. I taught excerpts of the book in both my middle and high school English classes, and while my students and I enjoyed those sections of the book, they certainly don't do a book of this magnitude much justice.
Angelou wrote this autobiography in 1969, and it chronicles the events that took place in Maya's life from the age of three, when she and her brother are shipped off to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas, to the birth of her son when she was seventeen. Having read some reviews of the book before beginning it, I was a bit hesitant to pick up the book, mostly because many of the book reviews I read cautioned about the explicit rape scene that occurs when Maya is a young child. While that particular scene left me sick, sad, and angry, I thought Angelou handled it with the grace and strength for which she is known.
This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and it inspires hope in the reader. Angelou is able to endure child abuse, racism, and poverty in order to become the success that she is today. I give it four stars.

Antipsychotics Don't Ease Delirium in These People
By Steven Reinberg
HealthDay Reporter
TUESDAY, March 29, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol (Haldol) or clozapine (Clozaril), aren't appropriate for preventing or routinely treating delirium in hospitalized patients, a new study suggests.
The researchers reviewed past studies and found that antipsychotic drugs given before surgery didn't prevent delirium. These drugs also didn't make any difference in the course of delirium in medical or surgical patients, the study authors said.
"The American Geriatrics Society guidelines suggest avoiding using these medications as a part of routine care of a patient with delirium," said lead researcher Dr. Karin Neufeld, clinical director of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center in Baltimore.
Delirium causes confused thinking and diminished awareness of the environment, such as time and place. Delirium is often caused by physical or mental illness, such as drug abuse or an electrolyte imbalance. Delirium is usually temporary and reversible.
Antipsychotic drugs are routinely used to treat delirium. But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration hasn't specifically approved their use for treating the condition.
However, antipsychotics can be used for limited periods for treating specific symptoms, such as distressing hallucinations, or "when the patient's life or safety are at risk due to severe agitation," Neufeld said.
Treating delirium without drugs has also been shown to be successful, she added.
"Interventions, such as getting the patient out of bed and engaging in physical activity, can be first-line approaches to treating delirium," Neufeld said. "These non-drug types of treatments have been shown to decrease delirium in hospitalized patients and we should incorporate them into our practices," she suggested.
For the new study, Neufeld and colleagues reviewed data from 19 previously published studies. Seven of the studies looked specifically at preventing delirium after surgery. The studies compared antipsychotics with placebo pills or no treatment. The researchers found antipsychotics didn't reduce the risk of delirium.
Pooling data from all 19 studies that included medical and surgical patients, Neufeld's team found that antipsychotics didn't alter how long patients suffered from delirium. The drugs also didn't reduce the severity of delirium. And giving people antipsychotics didn't change how long a patient stayed in the hospital, or if a patient died, the study authors reported.

Please click on the climb from the dropdown list
Rockfax Description
III, 350m. An excellent route with some technical but never desperate climbing, provided there is plenty of ice. Approach - Approach on skis - coming from either the Aiguille du Midi or the Helbronner takes the same time. From either direction, ski to the foot of the Pointe Adolphe Rey and skin up the glacial bowl separating it from the Pyramide du Tacul. The routes are on the left, 400m up this. Much of the skin up is threatened by a serac above and right of the routes, so move as quickly as possible. It is also possible to approach the routes from above by climbing the snow gully to the right of the Grand Capucin and then scrambling up to the col between the Roi de Siam and the Petit Capucin. This avoids the serac danger but is longer.1) 2, 55m. Cross the bergschrund and climb 55 degree snow/ice to a belay on the right. 2) 3, 45m. Climb the gully on 60 degree ice to a bolted belay on the left.3) 3+, 45m. Follow the fun ice runnel to a belay on the right.4) 2, 50m. Easier snow and ice leads to two belays on the left, the higher of which is marginally better.5) 3+, 50m. Continue up more easy ground and stay left to reach a bolted belay on the left amongst blocks. 6) 4+, 50m. Climb 70 degree ice/mixed ground to a steep step. Surmount this delicately (the difficulty will vary greatly depending on the quantity and quality of ice) and continue to a bolted belay on the left below a final icy section. 7) 4, 50m. Finish off the last of the ice and follow easier snowy ground to a col between the Roi de Siam and the Petit Capucin. Descent - Abseil on fixed anchors. The belays on the Chippendale Gully are bolted so if the route is empty, the lower half of it provides the best and safest descent provided you have 2 x 60m ropes. © Rockfax

Eskenazi Said to Tell Brufau YPF Buyback Pact Off Table
Sebastian Eskenazi, YPF SA's former CEO, told Repsol YPF SA Chairman Antonio Brufau in a meeting in Madrid that he won't immediately seek to enforce a buyback option on YPF, two people familiar with the meeting said.
The Eskenazi family is looking at different plans for its 25 percent YPF stake after the Argentine government seized control April 16, one of the people said, declining to be identified because the meeting wasn't public. Eskenazi and Brufau met in the Spanish capital last week, the people said.
The Eskenazis, which owe at least $2.7 billion to Repsol and banks including Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., are waiting to see if Congress approves a bill to nationalize a 51 percent stake in YPF before making any decision, the person said. The bill is being discussed today by Argentina's Senate.
"We've assumed the worst, so anything incrementally positive is good for Repsol," said Jason Gammel, an analyst at Macquarie Capital Ltd. in London. "There is transparently value in the stock but there are still potential risks that could come to life as this whole political mess plays out."
Argentina's Senate a few hours ago approved President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's proposal to nationalize YPF, the country's biggest energy company, as the government seeks to increase oil production and reduce imports.
The legislation now goes to the lower house, where Fernandez's ruling Victory Front coalition and its allies have a majority, for a vote next week.
Repsol in 2008 agreed to buy back the Eskenazi family's stake in YPF should Madrid-based Repsol lose control of the company, according to an agreement between the Spanish oil producer and the Eskenazis' Petersen Group holding company.
Fernandez Decision
YPF's American Depositary Receipts dropped 2.5 percent to $13.31 in New York yesterday. Repsol fell 1.5 percent to 14.06 euros in Madrid today as of 1:37 p.m. local time, down 20 percent since the takeover was announced on April 16. That's made it the worst performer on the 122-member MSCI World/Energy Index this year, down 41 percent.
Kirchner's decision to expropriate 51 percent of YPF from Repsol invalidates the agreement because it qualifies as a force majeure event, an unforeseeable event comparable to a hurricane which can release a company from contractual obligations, a Repsol spokesman, who declined to be named under corporate policy, said last week.
"My question would be, over what time frame that commitment was valid for?" said Stuart Joyner, an analyst at Investec Securities Ltd. in London. "I'd be very surprised if the Eskenazis unequivocally gave up something that has some insurance value for them at least."
The government is seeking investors to help YPF develop shale reserves in the Vaca Muerta block, which holds at least 23 billion barrels of oil, 13 billion of which belong to YPF, according to a report published by the crude producer in February. Developing the reserves requires $25 billion a year.
Output Declines
Argentine oil output declined to 35.3 million cubic meters in 2010 from 45.4 million in 2001, according to the most recent data published by the Argentina Oil and Gas Institute. YPF produces about 34 percent of the country's crude.
YPF executives, including Eskenazi and the head of exploration and production, Tomas Garcia Blanco, were told to leave YPF's headquarters in Buenos Aires on April 16, the day that Argentina announced Planning Minister Julio de Vido would run the company on an interim basis.
The European Union will do "everything in our power" to support Spain in the dispute with Argentina, which nationalized only the Spanish majority shareholder and not local stockholders, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht said April 24.
Fernandez, in a speech in Buenos Aires province on April 24, said she was never more nervous than before her April 16 speech announcing the takeover. Argentina needs energy independence, she said.
Repsol Investments
Since taking over YPF's management, De Vido and Deputy Economy Minister Axel Kicillof have met with officials from Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp and ConocoPhillips to discuss possible investments in Argentina.
The government today denied claims by Repsol that the Madrid-based company invested $20 billion in YPF between 1999 and 2011. Repsol invested $3.7 billion in the period, the government said in an e-mailed statement.

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/20/12 -- HP (NYSE: HPQ) today announced a new lineup of consumer PCs and accessories that are designed to work with Windows® 8 and are ideal for savvy, tech-conscious users who desire great performance and beautiful design at a great value.
The consumer PC lineup is powered by the latest generation of Intel® Core processors that deliver performance and stunning visuals for everyday life.
HP also added four new business desktop and notebook PCs powered by the latest AMD processors to its industry-leading commercial portfolio. AMD's new A-series Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) deliver a significant leap in PC graphics performance,(1) offer exceptional manageability and provide an affordable total cost of ownership.
Everyday computing never looked better
The HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 and Pavilion Sleekbook 15 PCs provide the performance and easy applications consumers need every day -- now in ultrathin style.
Available in sparkling black and ruby red, the lightweight HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 and 15 feature 14- and 15.6-inch diagonal high-definition (HD) displays respectively, plus up to one terabyte of storage for apps, movies, music, photos, documents and more.(2,3) A full array of ports including HDMI, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 allow for fast connections to mobile devices and accessories. The HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 also includes a numeric keypad for increased productivity.
The HP Sleekbooks include HP TrueVision HD Webcams(4) and HP MyRoom for video calling, sharing photos and more in a private virtual room. Dolby Advanced Audio comes standard, and optional NVIDIA discrete graphics can improve gaming as well as video creation and playback.
The Sleekbooks also feature exclusive HP innovations, including HP CoolSense for a noticeably cooler PC and HP ProtectSmart to help prevent file loss in case of a bump. HP Connected Photo powered by Snapfish by HP(5) and HP Connected Music powered by Meridian(6) allow users to access their favorite photos and music seamlessly.
The HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14 is powered by AMD Accelerated Processors. The HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 is powered by Intel processors and features Intel Hyper-Threading technology for effortless multitasking performance.

With a beautifully simple brushed-aluminum design and optional backlit keyboard, the HP ENVY m4 PC features a 14-inch diagonal HD display(2) and third-generation Intel Core processors that deliver a rich visual experience and a burst of speed for heavy processing tasks.
For users who want to explore digital content and connect with loved ones, the HP ENVY m4 comes standard with an HP TrueVision HD Webcam and select models feature Intel WiDi,(7) which allows consumers to project PC content wirelessly to an HD TV.

Internet access in more places -- HP Pavilion dm1 with T-Mobile 4G
HP will offer up to 200MB of free data per month for two years of fast 4G mobile broadband service operating on the T-Mobile network with the purchase of an HP Pavilion dm1 notebook -- all with no contracts or commitments.(8) This incredible value allows consumers to enjoy internet access wherever life takes them. Consumers can update their social media posts, check in at their favorite locations and stream entertainment.
Customers also receive a free 25 GB Box account, to make it simple to share, access and collaborate with their files.(9) Additional information is available at www.hp.com/dm1mobility.
Beauty and performance

It features a distinct armor-plated design and attention-grabbing lighting, with toolless hard-disk bays that support up to three internal drives. Updated cable dressing improves airflow and cooling in the chassis for enhanced longevity and makes swapping components easier than ever.
Top-of-the-line third-generation Intel processors and a choice of NVIDIA discrete graphics or AMD ultra-high-performance graphics coupled with powerful options such as ExpressCache,(10) solid state drives (SSDs) and liquid cooling make this HP's most powerful desktop tower to date. With an ExpressCache SSD option, users will enjoy fast boot-up and application start times. Music and games will sound great with Beats Audio, while HP Connected Remote(4) and Connected Photo(5) make it simple to access content from a smartphone, tablet or other PC.
Add style to the workspace with HP monitors
The new HP x2401 24-inch diagonal LED backlit monitor looks as good as it performs. With an 11-millimeter profile, the HP x2401 is strikingly thin and complements any setting with its glossy black-piano finish and brushed-metal case. Its unique, adjustable easel design frees up desk space and adds a touch of modern architecture.
The HP x2401 monitor delivers on functionality and connectivity, offering users image consistency and vivid color for clear viewing from almost any angle thanks to MVA panel technology and 5,000:1 and 10,000,000:1 static and dynamic contrast ratios. The integrated DisplayPort and HDMI ports and wall-mounting capabilities give users the freedom to design a space around the monitor that's clean and clutter-free. The HP x2401 monitor also was designed with the environment in mind with mercury-free LED backlighting, BFR/PVC free components(11) and arsenic-free display glass.(12)
For business users who value a sophisticated design that does not add bulk to cramped workspaces, HP also offers a commercial version of this sleek monitor. The wafer-thin HP L2401x 24-inch LED Backlit Monitor delivers a modern, premium design and expansive screen real estate to enhance executive and employee productivity.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.
