BARRE The Cabot teenager accused of repeatedly raping a young boy and a dog has been released from jail so he can live with his father in Hardwick.
Jay D. Deasy, 17, was in Washington County family court Thursday for a bail review hearing. He was being held on $80,000 bail, but Judge Thomas Devine decided Deasy could be released into the custody of his parents as long as he stays away from the boy and is under constant supervision of his parents, who were in the courtroom.
Deasy is accused of raping a 9-year-old boy 10 to 15 times over the past two years. The Vermont State Police affidavit also said Deasy admitted to repeatedly raping a female dog.
At the hearing, Deasys public defender, Maggie Vincent, said he has been diagnosed with an emotional delay where he functions more like a 12- or 13-year-old.
Because of Deasys age, he is applying for youthful offender status, which would spare him from the potential life sentence he currently faces.MORE IN This Just InCardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, is a requirement for many professionals and, perhaps,... Full Story

What an incredible in place, Marrakech is a fantastic city but it is also rather intense. Not that you'd know it from inside the walls of Riad Mur Akush, it was an oasis of calm with a luxiourious feel.
I didn't actually book this hotel, it was a birthday present from my boyfriend who booked directly with them. His experience throughout though was incredibly positive. He proposed when we got there and everyone in the hotel was more than happy to help him with the organisation.
From beginning to end of our trip we were made to feel completely welcome, nothing was too much trouble. All the staff cultivate a relaxed and friendly vibe and you get a real sense of Arabic hospitality.
As for the food, what can I say, it was incredible! The meal we had on our first night was stunningly delicious – as good as the posh one we had at La Sultana (another must if you're in Marrakech and fancy a splurge). They catered brilliantly for my vegetarian needs and my boyfriend loved his meaty option too. The breakfasts every morning were fabulous and certainly filling, we generally only needed a snack for lunch. We've been trying to find pistachio yoghurt (alas in vain) since we returned home.
The only downside to Riad Mur Akush is the lack of a pool or plunge pool, we did however find a great solution to this problem. The Palais Donab on the Dar El Bacha is a five minute walk away and there is a lovely pool and restaurant. For 150dh you will get access to the pool, towels and a drink or if you are having lunch there then the price is only 120dh. It's open from 10am to 6pm – perfect if the heat is soaring like it was on our second afternoon.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hidden in one of the most historic areas of the Marrakesh Medina, Riad Mur Akush offers a magical experience (with road access in 30m). The relaxed and comfortable environment ensures a perfect stay and with 6 rooms the riad feels very private. With a large sitting and dining room, large patio and terraces, one is spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding where to have a meal or read a book. Our hospitality is legendary. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Agoda, Priceline and Booking.com so you can book your Riad Mur Akush reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.

Autofocus problems with D3200
I've scanned the archives some on this subject and am not finding a solution. Please forgive me if this has already been addressed.
I've a new D3200 from Adorama with kit lens. Out of the box I'm able to do a halfway reasonable job with manual focus. However, only perhaps 1 in 7 autofocus pictures are indeed in focus. I've tried to simplify things by trying to focus on stationary objects in AF-S mode (and yes, I've ensured that the lens is set to "A"). The green light will go on indicating that the 'red' dot in the field is indeed in focus. BUT: when taken the picture just isn't. I mean, it's not even remotely close. If I switch to manual mode I can do a heck of a lot better.
I've tried tests on default factory settings, as well. No can do -- just doesn't help. Nevertheless I'm more than open to the notion that this is simple operator error. I'm surprised if it is, a bit, as these things usually work halfway well out of the box, but stranger things... for sure!
I'm loath to simply send the sucker back, in part because I've an upcoming trip in ANWR in two weeks that I'm keen to take the camera on. I'm really hoping that my problems are my fault and not the camera's. (Again, at this point I'm focussed on the camera, as the AF issues are not even remotely close despite what the green indicator light says, and because I can manually focus well enough to live with.)
Any help would be very much appreciated.

What would be really helpful is an example photo with all the EXIF data intact so that we can see the exposure and focus settings.

Wow, that was fast! Thanks for the response, JosephK!
Now let me display my knuckleheadedness:
1) how do I post a picture here? Do I need to be a silver (or better) member to do so?
2) how do I ensure that the "EXIF" data are intact?
#3. "RE: Autofocus problems with D3200" | In response to Reply # 2JosephK Nikonian since 17th Apr 2006Sun 08-Jun-14 04:06 PM
You need to be a silver member to get the picture posted inline with the text, but a link to a pic posted elsewhere or to your Nikonians gallery will work fine.
The easiest way to keep the EXIF data intact is to not edit the picture (editing includes resizing). Unfortunately, resizing is needed for posting to Nikonians inline and gallery. Adobe and other third-part editors remove the data we want to see, so your best bet is to use Nikon's software (Capture NX2 or View NX2) to do any resizing.

Hello Antony
It's hard to say something about your issue without samples.
What YOU can do is:
- Shoot raw. If you do so, View Nx can show you focus point(s) used for the photo when you view your photos on the computer. And you can check whether these parts of the photo (inside red squares) are sharp or not.
- Try using different aperture settings, different focal lengths.
- Use central focus point (the best one).
- Shoot using viewfinder and live view (these are different focusing systems).
Also - have you noticed a tendency that most photos are focused CLOSER than the subject? Or maybe your camera focuses BEHIND it?
If you are still sure that most photos of static objects, with decent contrast and in decent light, are out of focus, a hardware malfunction is probable.
#5. "RE: Autofocus problems with D3200" | In response to Reply # 0
Not sure if this will fix it or not but on the chance it's NOT operator error, try this:
The d7000 had some focus issues and a few ppl I know used this autofocus test chart with success. Make sure to read the directions though or you'll be shooting yourself in the foot.
Good luck!

Algorithm 862: MATLAB tensor classes for fast algorithm prototyping
MATLAB (matrix laboratory) is a numerical computing environment and fourth-generation programming language. Developed by MathWorks, MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including C, C++, Java, and Fortran.

whose columns are the forces acting on the,, and faces of the cube. ]] Tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between vectors, scalars, and other tensors. Elementary examples of such relations include the dot product, the cross product, and linear maps. Vectors and scalars themselves are also tensors. A tensor can be represented as a multi-dimensional array of numerical values.

Array data type
In computer science, an array type is a data type that is meant to describe a collection of elements, each selected by one or more indices (identifying keys) that can be computed at run time by the program. Such a collection is usually called an array variable, array value, or simply array. By analogy with the mathematical concepts of vector and matrix, array types with one and two indices are often called vector type and matrix type, respectively.

Chemometrics is the science of extracting information from chemical systems by data-driven means. It is a highly interfacial discipline, using methods frequently employed in core data-analytic disciplines such as multivariate statistics, applied mathematics, and computer science, in order to address problems in chemistry, biochemistry, medicine, biology and chemical engineering. In this way, it mirrors several other interfacial ¿-metrics¿ such as psychometrics and econometrics.

Tensor product
In mathematics, the tensor product, denoted by ¿, may be applied in different contexts to vectors, matrices, tensors, vector spaces, algebras, topological vector spaces, and modules, among many other structures or objects. In each case the significance of the symbol is the same: the most general bilinear operation. In some contexts, this product is also referred to as outer product. The term "tensor product" is also used in relation to monoidal categories.

Array data structure
In computer science, an array data structure or simply array is a data structure consisting of a collection of elements, each identified by at least one array index or key. An array is stored so that the position of each element can be computed from its index tuple by a mathematical formula.

Matrix (mathematics)
In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices, or less commonly matrixes) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions. The individual items in a matrix are called its elements or entries. An example of a matrix with six elements is Matrices of the same size can be added or subtracted element by element. The rule for matrix multiplication is more complicated, and two matrices can be multiplied only when the number of columns in the first equals the number of rows in the second.

Peter Singer is Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University and Laureate Professor at the University of Melbourne. His books include Animal Liberation, Practical Ethics, The Expanding Circle, and The Life You Can Save. Agata Sagan is an independent researcher who is currently working on a book about
victims of Soviet repression.
By Peter Singer and Agata Sagan
WARSAW/MELBOURNE – Jenna Talackova reached the finals of Miss Universe Canada last month, before being disqualified because she was not a "natural born" female. The tall, beautiful blonde told the media that she had considered herself a female since she was four years old, had begun hormone treatment at 14, and had sex reassignment surgery at 19. Her disqualification raises the question of what it really means to be a "Miss."
A question of broader significance was raised by the case of an eight-year-old Los Angeles child who is anatomically female, but dresses as, and wants to be considered, a boy. His mother tried unsuccessfully to enroll him in a private school as a boy. Is it really essential that every human being be labeled "male" or "female" in accordance with his or her biological sex?
People who cross gender boundaries suffer clear discrimination. Last year, the National Center for Transgender Equality and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force published a survey that suggested that the unemployment rate among transgender people is double that of other people. In addition, of those respondents who were employed, 90% reported some form of mistreatment at work, such as harassment, ridicule, inappropriate sharing of information about them by supervisors or co-workers, or trouble with access to toilets.
Moreover, transgender people can be subject to physical violence and sexual assault as a result of their sexual identity. According to Trans Murder Monitoring, at least 11 people were murdered in the United States last year for this reason.
Children who do not identify with the sex assigned to them at birth are in an especially awkward position, and their parents face a difficult choice. We do not yet have the means to turn young girls into biologically normal boys, or vice versa. Even if we could do it, specialists warn against taking irreversible steps to turn them into the sex with which they identify.
Many children display cross-gender behaviour or express a wish to be of the opposite sex, but when given the option of sex reassignment, only a tiny fraction undergo the full procedure. The use of hormone blocking agents to delay puberty seems a reasonable option, as it offers both parents and children more time to make up their minds about this life-changing decision.
But the broader problem remains that people who are uncertain about their gender identification, move between genders, or have both female and male sexual organs do not fit into the standard male/female dichotomy.
Last year, the Australian government addressed this problem by providing passports with three categories: male, female, and indeterminate. The new system also allows people to choose their gender identity, which need not match the sex assigned to them at birth. This break with the usual rigid categorization shows respect for all individuals, and if it becomes widely adopted in other countries, will save many people from the hassle of explaining to immigration officials a discrepancy between their appearance and their sex as recorded in their passport.
Nevertheless, one may wonder whether it is really necessary for us to ask people as often as we do what sex they are. On the Internet, we frequently interact with people without knowing their gender. Some people place high value on controlling what information about them is made public, so why do we force them, in so many situations, to say if they are male or female?
Is the desire for such information a residue of an era in which women were excluded from a wide range of roles and positions, and thus denied the privileges that go with them? Perhaps eliminating the occasions on which this question is asked for no good reason would not only make life easier for those who can't be squeezed into strict categories, but would also help to reduce inequality for women. It could also prevent injustices that occasionally arise for men, for example, in the provision of parental leave.
Imagine further how, wherever homosexual relationships are lawful, the obstacles to gay and lesbian marriage would vanish if the state did not require the spouses to state their sex. The same would apply to adoption. (In fact, there is some evidence that having two lesbians as parents gives a child a better start in life than any other combination.)
Some parents are already resisting the traditional "boy or girl" question by not disclosing the sex of their child after birth. One couple from Sweden explained that they want to avoid their child being forced into "a specific gender mold," saying that it is cruel "to bring a child into the world with a blue or pink stamp on their forehead." A Canadian couple wondered why "the whole world must know what is between the baby's legs."
Jane McCreedie, the author of Making Girls and Boys: Inside the Science of Sex, criticizes these couples for going too far. In the world as it is today, she has a point, because concealing a child's sex will only draw more attention to it. But if such behaviour became more common – or even somehow became the norm – would there be anything wrong with it?

Mona Maris (November 7, 1903 – March 23, 1991) was an Argentine film actress who was born in Buenos Aires.
Ancestry and education[edit]
Her given name was Mona Maria Emita Capdeville. Her mother was a Spanish Basque and her father a French Catalan. Maris was educated in England, France, and Germany and by the age of nineteen she spoke four languages.
Maris' ambition to become an actress originated during World War I, when she was a pupil in Luders, France. Together with her classmates she wrote, directed, and presented short plays to entertain soldiers billeted near the school. After graduation Maris begged to go to England and her mother finally relented. In England she found a woman was given much more freedom than in either Spain or South America. She traveled to England under the indirect chaperonage of an Argentine family.
Her stay was intended to last only six months, but was extended another two years. The Argentine ambassador in Berlin received a letter which led to Maris being introduced to the President of the United Film Association. Soon she journeyed to Germany, where she participated in Universum Film AG productions. She was given a screen test during which the camera was not loaded with film. A prominent director noticed Maris and offered her a five-year contract. She counseled with her grandmother, who reluctantly allowed her to accept.
Joe Schenck, president of United Artists, granted her the prospect of a Hollywood career. At the time she had completed just four films in Germany. Her Hollywood film career began with the 1925 movie The Apache and continued until the 1980s when she appeared in Camila (1984).
It was her inability to speak fluent English which interrupted, and nearly ended Maris' film career. Spanish, French, and German came easily for her, but in the early years of talkies, her English was almost unintelligible. From 1931 until 1941 she starred in nineteen Spanish-language versions of successful American pictures, which were produced by the Fox Film Company. Maris also appeared in seven English dialogue motion pictures for three studios.
Personal life[edit]
She was married twice. Her first marriage took place while she was working in Europe and was terminated before she travelled to the United States, and her second marriage was to Clarence Brown.
Mona Maris died of lung disease in Buenos Aires on March 23, 1991.

Stayed there for 8 days while on Business trip to Nairobi. Being close to Parliament and other government buildings the hotel is very secure. A good place to hold business meetings. You can see politicians and other high profile guys coming-in going-out for meetings. The rooms are neatly done, not so great. All the basic amenities are available. Depending on the room, view outside would vary. Would recommend you take room with view of Uhuru Park. The restaurants - The Terrace and Bhandini are good. Among these I would prefer The Terrace. The breakfast buffet is fine though not much choices available. Almost everyday you see same kind of menu repeated. Don't their in-house chefs know no African or Kenyan food for that matter to cook or the continental breakfast? Was really tired and bored of eating there everyday, had not choice but to eat before heading for office. Internet works fine, not very high speed though. That said, hotel is good option if your work is close to Central area, government buildings or KICC.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- InterContinental Nairobi has for years been an oasis of luxury for business travellers as well as those who want to experience the wonders of Africa. The Parliament buildings are a short stroll away, Kenyatta International Convention Centre is right next door and Nairobi National Park, Museum Hill and the Elephant Orphanage are within easy reach. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Hotels.com, Booking.com, Expedia, Hotwire, Odigeo, Agoda, Priceline, IHG, TripOnline SA and Travelocity so you can book your InterContinental Nairobi reservations with confidence.

Moreland School District is pretty popular... Country Lane, Payne and Easterbrook Discovery appear to have the best scores... go http://api.cde.ca.gov. for more info, or go my website for API scores http://www.SusanWoods.net.
Moreland Schools is one of the better schools for k-8. Close to Moreland schools you have two schools from Campbell School Districts (Forest Hill and Marshall Lane) both excellent schools.
Best value for your Money.
Moreland school district is second choice for those that can not afford Cupertino homes. Another alternative is Cambrian Park - Union district schools. You can find out more at :
Good luck,

Country Lane Elementary 915
Easterbrook Discovery 869
Latimer Elementary 866
Payne (George C.) Elementary 897

Castro (Elvira) Middle 823
Moreland school district is one the next choices after Cupertino. Also Cambrian Park has highly ranked schools. See http://schoolperformancemaps.com to see more information by area. I find this an easier way to find the right neighborhood school and related rank.
Good luck,
As a whole the district ranks very well. Anderson ES has been a weak link and scores have been up and down over the past few years. It's been a struggle to have their performance come up to par with the others. This last rating period (2007) has seen a health increase, but it still lags. Overall the district is great. Students from these schools feed into Campbell Union High School District with Westmont HS roughly serving the western portion and Prospect HS serving the east.

I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to call email if you have any other questions. I am well versed in this area.

The bohemian look is evolving, and a year from now in girls' and toddlers' fashions, the trend takes a multiethnic turn inspired by patterns and adornments seen in Africa, the Middle East, India, Mexico and elsewhere that are beaded, patched, embroidered, painted and sequined.
This story first appeared in the August 11, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
"We've gone through trends that follow individual countries like India and Morocco. For spring and summer next year it's all about having just an ethnic vibe," said Lily Berelovich, president and chief executive officer of trend forecaster Fashion Snoops. "It's rich paisleys and mosaics; bright flowers that work against browns, taupes and neutrals, and very rich applications of embroideries and beading. We call it eclectic ethnic."
The ethnic look will be seen in longer smock tops, tunics, denim vests and jackets, lighter vintage denim washes and ripped and torn jeans. This boho look also uses "unusual fabric combinations with knits and wovens," said Jamie Ross, a creative director and trend forecaster with The Doneger Group, noting the creative use of tie-dye as well. "A dress might have a knit body with some woven printed fabric trim, or a woven body and knit sleeves."
At the same time, a more traditional feminine trend for the season adds crinoline and tulle petticoats to lilac, coral, seafoam green, lemon and aqua dresses and skirts, or ruffles on sleeves, yokes or hemlines, Ross said. In addition,
ruffled plackets and flounces are part of a girly French-country look using sheer blue and white fabric. "You'll see things like a toile-print pant and white painter's smock top," Ross said.
Classic sailor-girl silhouettes are also getting a twist for next spring and summer, with designers using bright green, yellow orange and blue, combined with star, dot and stripe prints, Ross said. Likewise, a British colonial safari theme with epaulets and pockets is being tricked out with bright-colored accents like cobalt blue and orange zippers.
Wholesomeness is another overriding theme for girls' fashions for next spring-summer, Berelovich said. It's a broad trend that's tied to consumer interest in preserving the environment and focusing on positive influences for children. Wholesomeness in kids' fashion can be as simple as animal, leaf and tree prints or the liberal use of the color green, or in vintage-inspired sheer fabrics in dusty blue, mint green and gray. In licensed fashion, wholesomeness translates to characters that resemble real-life kids instead of pixies or aggressive action figures. "The trend is about connecting with what's important to consumers," Berelovich said.
Dresses for girls are also slated to continue to be dear to consumer hearts at New York vendor Simon International. "For the third year in a row we're expecting a very strong dress year in 2009. It's been a monster area for us," said sales manager Shelly Willer.
Willer said dress styles for next spring-summer run the gamut from button-down shirtdresses to funky embellished and ruffled gypsy looks. "The styles cover really every conceivable look for the season, running from sweet to the funky," Willer said, adding how "customers are buying styles across the board." In addition, he said the styles of dresses being ordered are the same in urban and rural markets.

This is a pension rather than a hostel, so no reception or common areas to meet people. It was very quiet. I had the single room which was very big and basic but comfortable. There was one other room on the floor and our two rooms shared a bathroom and kitchen. Both were fine, but the kitchen was a bit old and did not have a microwave. There were some drinks for purchase, which was nice. The neighborhood is great on the trendy Karl-Liebknecht "Karli" street with LOTS of food and grocery options.

This research investigated demographic and attitudinal– psychological predictors of verdict and amount of punitive damages awarded in high-stakes civil litigation. Four hundred and forty-six surrogate jurors, selected to be representative of actual jurors, were exposed to realistic case presentations in insurance, tobacco, and pharmaceutical cases that were about to go to trial. Hierarchical regression revealed that perceptions of the existence of a litigation crisis predicted verdict in the tobacco and pharmaceutical cases after controlling for all other variables. Demographic variables predicted verdict and punitive damage awards only modestly and in different ways in the three cases. Need for cognition, strength of will and rationality, and a perception that there is a litigation crisis predicted the amount of punitive damages awarded in the tobacco case. Litigation crisis also predicted the amount of punitive damages awarded in the pharmaceutical case. Implications for jury selection are discussed. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

CHICAGO -- They are without their top slugger, a man who was leading the team in home runs and RBIs before snapping his wrist on a bat. They are without their best defensive player, a veteran third baseman who had hit 17 home runs of his own. Before Monday, they had won just one of their past six, three of their past 11 and 11 of their past 29.
And yet the Chicago White Sox will live to see another day. Some six hours after the first pitch in their makeup game against the Detroit Tigers was scheduled to begin, there was rookie second baseman Alexei Ramirez, standing in front of his locker, staring at three full-color snapshots of the biggest major league home run he had ever hit in the White Sox's 8-2 victory at U.S. Cellular Field.
Ramirez speaks little English, but his reaction to the photos of his sixth-inning grand slam that gave his team a 6-2 lead over the Tigers didn't need a translator.
"Nice," Ramirez said. "Very nice."
That's two down and one to go for the White Sox, who created this late-season mess for themselves by going 1-5 in the past week, including a three-game sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Twins.
On Tuesday night, the White Sox will get their shot at redemption. Already, manager Ozzie Guillen has provided Minnesota starter Nick Blackburn with plenty of bulletin-board material, backing up his comments from last week when Guillen said he wasn't overly impressed with Blackburn, who surrendered eight hits and two runs over five innings against the Sox on Sept. 24.
"I'll take my chances against him if he pitches the way he did last time," Guillen said Monday. "He did not pitch well. We just didn't approach him the right way."
In beating the Tigers on Monday, the White Sox won on back-to-back days for the first time since Sept. 5 and 6. And they did so after a week in which Nick Swisher voiced his frustration over being benched, Orlando Cabrera publicly criticized teammates for not wanting it enough and catcher A.J. Pierzynski had a colorful exchange with pitcher Javier Vazquez on the mound.
Prior to Sunday's game with Cleveland, a message on the team's dry-erase board read, "[Forget] feelings -- it's about winning." Those words were still there after Monday's victory and probably won't go away anytime soon.
"That's the type of ballclub we have," Guillen said of his team's resiliency. "When we struggle, we lose five game in a row, we bounce back. That's the way we've [been] all year long. Tomorrow, 162 games mean nothing. It's only about one game. And that's great. That's a good feeling."
Against the Tigers, the Sox overcame not only their emotional baggage, a three-hour rain delay and a costly throwing error by starter Gavin Floyd in the sixth that helped give the Tigers a 2-1 lead, but karma, too.
Monday's starter for the Tigers was Freddy Garcia, the last Sox pitcher to take the rubber in the postseason, when he threw seven shutout innings in Game 4 of the 2005 World Series. And his counterpart was Floyd, who the Sox not only received from Philadelphia in a trade for Garcia, but who then took Garcia's No. 34.
In right field for Detroit was former Sox outfielder Magglio Ordonez, who made no secret of his desire to send his former team home for the winter. In addition, Tigers manager Jim Leyland moved Gary Sheffield to the No. 2 hole in the Detroit lineup in hopes of helping him hit career home run No. 500.
Leyland clearly was playing to win. After Garcia left in the sixth due to shoulder stiffness, he called on arguably his best starter this year, Armando Galarraga, in relief. But Galarraga and Bobby Seay combined to walk the bases loaded before Ramirez belted his grand slam on the first pitch from Gary Glover.
Prior to the at-bat, Guillen said he told his 27-year-old rookie to stay patient. Ramirez asked his manager to relax, telling him that he would do what he always does -- look for a pitch in his zone and hit it.
"I told him to have confidence in me and I would get these runners home somehow," Ramirez said through an interpreter.
He did just that, belting his fourth grand slam of the season -- a major league rookie record -- and giving his team life for at least another day.
Chicago's South Siders know nobody believes in them.
They've heard the crack that the American League East champion Tampa Bay Rays should get a first-round bye and not have to waste their time sweeping the winner of Tuesday's White Sox-Twins play-in game.
But how easily people forget that at the core of this group are guys like Paul Konerko, Jermaine Dye and Pierzynski, who won a World Series with the Sox in 2005. How easily they forget about Guillen, who always seems to push the right buttons for his team.
Whatever the intangible ingredient is that the New York Mets have been missing the past two Septembers, the Chicago White Sox just might have it.
A team that is 2-5 in its past seven somehow has found momentum. Come Tuesday, there will be no scoreboard watching, no concern over what the Twins might be doing in another game in another stadium.
Instead, the task is simple. Win and they're in, lose and go home.
"A lot of people are going to be excited, a lot of people are going to be nervous, a lot of people might lose sleep," Guillen said. "But there's only one thing you can do. And that's be ready to show up [Tuesday] ready to win the game, look yourself in the mirror and say if we fight all the way to the end we have a chance to win it. That's all you can do."

Now Nafas has received a letter from her sister, who lost both legs after stepping on a land mine, and plans to kill herself during the final eclipse of the 20th century. Nafas sets off on a desperate journey to smuggle herself from Iran into Afghanistan, to persuade her sister to live. "Kandahar" follows that journey in a way that sheds an unforgiving light on the last days of the Taliban.
I saw the movie, by Iran's Mohsen Makhmalbaf, at Cannes 2001, where it was admired but seemed to have slim chances of a North American release. Of course 9/11 changed that, and Kandahar became a familiar place name. The movie is especially accessible because most of it is in English--the language of the heroine, who keeps a record of her journey on a tape recorder, and also the language of one of the other major characters.
Nafas (Nelofer Pazira) is unable to get into Afghanistan by conventional means, perhaps because her family fled for political reasons. In Iran, she pays an itinerant trader, who travels between the two countries, to bring her in as one of his wives; she wears a burqua, which covers her from head to toe, making the deception more possible. And as she sets out, we begin to realize that the journey, not the sister's fate, is the point of the film: Nafas is traveling back into the world where she was born.
Makhmalbaf and his cinematographer, Ebraham Ghafouri, show this desert land as beautiful but remote and forbidding. Roads are tracks from one flat horizon to another. Nafas bounces along in the back of a truck with other women, the burqua amputating her personality. There are roadblocks, close calls, confusions, and eventually the merchant turns back, leaving her in the company of a boy of 10 or 12 named Khak (Sadou Teymouri). With that terrible wisdom which children gain in times of trouble, he knows his way around the dangers, and takes $50 to lead her to Kandahar. At one point they trek through a wilderness of sand dunes, and when he finds a ring on the finger of a skeleton he wants to sell it to her.
Nafas grows ill, and Khak takes her to a doctor. She stands on one side of a blanket, the doctor on the other, and he talks to her through a hole in the fabric. The Taliban forbids any more intimate contact between unmarried men and women; he can ask her to say "ah," and that's about it. But this doctor (Hassan Tantai) has a secret--a secret he reveals when he hears her English with its North American accent. Khak hangs around, hungry for any information he can sell, until the doctor bribes him with peanuts and sends him away.
"Kandahar" does not provide deeply drawn characters, memorable dialogue or an exciting climax. Its traffic is in images. Who will ever forget the scene of a Red Cross helicopter flying over a refugee camp and dropping artificial legs by parachute, as one-legged men hobble on their crutches to try to catch them? The movie makes us wonder how any belief system could convince itself it was right to make so many people miserable, to deny the simple human pleasures of life. And yet the last century has been the record of such denial.
Khak, the boy, has been expelled from school. We see one of the Taliban schools. All of the students are boys, of course--women are not permitted to study. That may be no great loss. The boys rock back and forth while chanting the Koran. Not studying or discussing it, simply repeating it. Then they are drilled on the parts of a rifle. "Weapons are the only modern thing in Afghanistan," the doctor tells Nafas.
"Close-Up," a 1990 film by the Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami about an impostor who pretends to be Makhmalbaf, has just been released on DVD by Facets. Makhmalbaf stars as himself.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Be sure to use 500ml since a glass will not be enough water. What I do is dissolve half in one glass in morning and then dissolve the other half later on the day. Great taste!

Most federal agencies get passing marks for meeting the Federal Information Security Management Act, the primary regulation dictating cybersecurity practices in the federal government. Even so, the ground rules for cybersecurity keep changing, and federal systems are anything but bulletproof.
The Office of Management and Budget's FISMA implementation report for fiscal 2008 gave 92% of major agencies satisfactory or better grades for the quality of their certification and accreditation processes. It noted high percentages of inventoried systems and systems with tested contingency plans and security controls, and said 84% of major agencies had "effective" cybersecurity plans.
That's the good news. The other side of it is that threats to government computer systems are more worrisome than ever. Federal agencies reported to the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) that they experienced 18,050 cybersecurity attacks in fiscal 2008, triple the number from 2006. "Terabytes of data are being exfiltrated out of government networks," warns Greg Garcia, assistant secretary of cybersecurity and communications at the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush.
Government security pros find themselves having to comply with myriad specifications and regulations, compounding the challenges of getting it right. A diagram that used to hang on the wall at the Defense Information Systems Agency detailing every agency with authority over cybersecurity "looked like a bowl of spaghetti," says Vic Maconachy, former director of the National Security Agency's cybersecurity education and training program.
Mandates Galore
Passed in 2002, FISMA requires every federal agency to inventory its information systems, categorize them according to risk, carry out contingency planning and risk assessments, train employees in cybersecurity, and report certain incidents to law enforcement. Agencies also need to certify and accredit their cybersecurity processes and related documentation.
The White House, meanwhile, is carrying out a cybersecurity review, due any day, and new cybersecurity bills are being introduced in Congress. What's more, the government likely will begin releasing over the next few months more details of the still-classified Comprehensive National Cyber Security Initiative created under Bush.
"There's a high level of interest in cybersecurity, and that's a good thing, but for the implementers in the agencies, it can be a bit confusing with all the things being proposed," says Matt Scholl, who oversees several government-wide cybersecurity programs, including FISMA implementation, as security management and assurance group manager at the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
As part of the Comprehensive National Cyber Security Initiative, a multibillion-dollar program introduced 16 months ago, the government hopes to create and enforce security best practices and technology guidance that can be implemented across agencies. First, though, the government has to lay out the program in more detail. "One of the problems with the development of the Cyber Initiative is that it was over-classified, and we couldn't proactively share with the public and the Congress, so there remains a dearth of useful information about it," says Garcia.
Among the CNSCI requirements is implementation of intrusion-detection and -prevention systems. According to a recent InformationWeek survey of 309 government IT professionals, 65% plan to increase use of intrusion detection over the next year. "The private-sector capabilities are very sophisticated now. There's no reason every department and agency shouldn't be using them," says Rod Beckstrom, until recently director of the National Cyber Security Center at the Department of Homeland Security.
Scholl warns, however, that further mandates shouldn't be too far-reaching in mandating specific technologies, given how different various agencies are. "We have wide and unique use cases that really must be considered," he says.
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?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.
