Wonderful Creatures
Parakeets That can Survive a Month Without Water
Wild parakeets live in the deserts of Australia where it rarely rains. Since they meet their need for water from the seeds on which they feed, these birds can easily survive without drinking water for a month in very dry seasons. Water is vital to wild parakeets. For that reason, they organize all their lives according to climatic conditions.
For example, if water is insufficient, they stop breeding and begin to search for new places with water. As soon as they find a sufficiently big body of water, they begin to lay their eggs.
It is only by the inspiration of Allah that parakeets organize their lives in compliance with climatic conditions. Since the survival of their species is essential, they do not take any risks and stop breeding at once. Our Lord, Who knows everything and is well aware of His creatures, inspires them to behave so wisely. In a verse in Surat al-Isra', Allah says:
The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him. There is nothing which does not glorify Him with praise but you do not understand their glorification. He is All-Forbearing, Ever-Forgiving. (Surat al-Isra': 44)

(Reuters) - The Pittsburgh Steelers have cut rookie running back Chris Rainey following his arrest for a domestic battery, the National Football League team said on Thursday.
"Chris Rainey's actions this morning were extremely disappointing," said Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert in a statement on the team's website. "Under the circumstances and due to this conduct, Chris will no longer be a member of the Pittsburgh Steelers."
Rainey was charged by Gainesville, Florida police with a single count of misdemeanor simple battery following an incident with his girlfriend, according to media reports.
A fifth round selection of the Steelers in last season's draft, Rainey was used primarily on specialty teams during his rookie campaign, returning 39 kickoffs for 1,035 yards while filling in at running back.

CPR Comedy Improvisation
See a slide show of this event
A comedy trio, "CPR," will present an evening of improvisation 8 p.m. Monday, Mar. 22, in the University Commons arena at Eastern Mennonite University.
The program will help launch a week of public events leading up to the Mar. 27 inauguration of Loren E. Swartzendruber as eighth president of EMU. Dr. Swartzendruber, who took office on Jan. 1 this year, will be installed in ceremonies at 2:30 p.m. in the Commons.
Members of CPR - Carl Crispin, Pete Vanderluis and Jeff "Ringo" Van Haitsma - specialize in personality-based sketches based on "who we are - three guys just being ourselves and sharing the joy and laughter that comes from knowing Jesus Christ." Much of their material is made up on the spot on stage, based on ideas or themes suggested by audiences, and no two performances are alike.
CPR started in 1992 while performing drama at their home church in Grand Rapids, Mich. Today, the trio travels across North America doing more than 100 shows a year at major youth conventions, adult conferences and Christian camps. They performed to enthusiastic audiences at the Mennonite General Assembly convention in July 2003 at Atlanta, Ga.
"One of the things that makes us a little different from a lot of the comedy out there these days is that we commit to keeping our material 100 percent clean," said group member Pete Vanderluis. "We believe that every person in the room should be having a good time, and that can't happen if you're wondering if we crossed the line.
"One other thing - we don't preach. We don't persuade people to live like us, added Carl Crispin. "We just want audiences to have a good time and to celebrate laughter and humor with us as a gift from God."
General admission to the CPR performance is $9 or $7.50 for groups of 15 or more. Tickets are available at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased from the EMU box office at 540-432-4582.

UPLAND - The 20th annual Christmas Nativity Art and Music Festival hosted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is proving to be one of the largest.
There are more than 1,300 nativity scenes on display during the three-day festival at the church, 785 N. San Antonio Ave., as well as numerous performances.
"I think this is probably more full than I've seen it in several years," said Larry Burke with the Upland Stake Presidency.
The nativity scenes are owned by private individuals in the church and throughout the community.
"The displays leave not only at the very least an artistic message, but the ultimate message of that of Jesus Christ," Burke said.
The festival is free and open to the public.
"It's meant to to be our gift to the community and really the community's gift to the community because we try to involve any and all that want to participate," Burke said.
Lue Rutherford, festival chairperson, said she has received calls from people from as far as Santa Ana and Riverside asking about the festival.
"So people once they come they always remember it, and they want to come back," she said.
Local school choirs, churches and individual artists will perform.
The community is encouraged to attend and support the youth and school music departments as they share in the Christmas spirit through music.
The closing performance of the festival will be a community sing-a-long of the "Hallelujah Chorus."
Children can participate in crafts and interactive activity in the childrens activity center.
The children, ages 3 to 11, decorated the Christmas tree on display in the center.
The festival will run from 1 to 9 p.m. on Friday and from 12:30 to 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

Henry Chinaski wanders from job to woman to job to woman in this tale of an alcoholic, usually unemployed writer. Henry Chinaski wanders into New Orleans hoping that the new city will help his state of mind. It doesn't, and the aberrant writer spends his time looking for and abruptly quitting jobs, then drinking and drinking and drinking. He leaves New Orleans for his parents' house in Los Angeles, but puts himself out of a room there because of his drin...
Ham on Rye
Charles Bukowski tells us of the coming of age of Henry Chinaski in this thinly veiled autobiography. Seen through the eyes of this angry teen, we hear about his difficult relationship with his parents. His abusive father would beat him with his razor if the lawn wasn't maintained to perfection. Henry also had the worst case of acne that his doctors had ever seen. Experimentally, the doctors would puncture each pimple or have him sit under ultra- vio...

The post office is society, with its rules of conduct and order. Full of insight and depth, this book isn't afraid of being brutal...
Bukowski booklist
This is probably thinly-disguised autobiography, as much of Bukowski's prose may be. A (non-)spiritual literary descendant of Henry Miller, Bukowski wrote and screwed his way through the world, but redeemed himself to the extent that he never kidded himself or others. He never pretended to be anything he wasn't, and he wrote fine, honest -- if often vulgar -- prose. Something of an acquired taste, his view from the gutter has a refreshing honesty about i...

Old English cuman "come, approach, land; come to oneself, recover; arrive; assemble" (class IV strong verb; past tense cuom, com, past participle cumen), from Proto-Germanic *kwem- (cf. Old Saxon cuman, Old Frisian kuma, Middle Dutch comen, Dutch komen, Old High German queman, German kommen, Old Norse koma, Gothic qiman), from PIE root *gwa-, *gwem- "to go, come" (cf. Sanskrit gamati "he goes," Avestan jamaiti "goes," Tocharian kakmu "come," Lithuanian gemu "to be born," Greek bainein "to go, walk, step," Latin venire "to come").
The substitution of Middle English -o- for Old English -u- before -m-, -n-, or -r- was a scribal habit before minims to avoid misreading the letters in the old style handwriting, which jammed letters. The practice similarly transformed some, monk, tongue, worm. Modern past tense form came is Middle English, probably from Old Norse kvam, replacing Old English cuom.
Remarkably productive with prepositions (NTC's "Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs" lists 198 combinations); consider the varied senses in come to "regain consciousness," come over "possess" (as an emotion), come at "attack," come on (interj.) "be serious," and come off "occur." For sexual senses, see cum.

The Hunger Games movie comes out in three weeks. Leading up to the release, this blog will be highlighting new young adult books for fans of Suzanne Colllins's books.
Partials by Dan Wells
Humans created Partials, human hybrids designed to be super soldiers. Not wanting to be slaves, these Partials attack and supposedly release the RM virus. Children from the human survivors only live a few days. The people in power mandate that women must become pregnant each year starting at age 18, but because of rebel attacks, this age might be lowered to sixteen.
Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic, believes that medical community is using the wrong methods to cure the RM virus. She feels if she can just study a Partial then she might find a cure.
With the popularity of The Hunger Games series, there have been many dystopian novels published in the last few years. I had a hard time getting into the story as it started slow, but it is worth the effort. The action picks up, and there are plenty of twists to keep you guessing.

Verzyl receives top enrollment management award
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
Scott Verzyl, associate vice president for enrollment management at the University of South Carolina, received the prestigious Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Award of Excellence at the annual American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers SEM conference.
Verzyl was chosen to receive the award for his leadership and outstanding accomplishments at USC, and for his contribution to the enrollment management field.
"It is clear that Scott's personal style, strategic thinking and collaborative effort in implementing numerous initiatives have been instrumental to the University of South Carolina's success," says Susan Gottheil, vice provost at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. "Scott has also been very generous in sharing his innovative ideas and expertise by presenting at a variety of conferences and serving on many committees and boards for national organizations."
The award committee noted that despite a declining economy, increasingly competitive college landscape and shrinking budgets, USC has exceeded freshman class recruitment goals. In the past 10 years, the university was one of only eight public research institutions in the country that raised its freshman class SAT average by at least 80 points, and of those top eight, USC obtained the highest percentage enrollment increase at 17.3 percent.
"Scott has built a data-driven culture that gets results," says Dennis Pruitt, vice provost and vice president for student affairs at USC. "His use of marketing research and new technologies has enabled USC to provide exceptional service to our students, to raise our freshman academic profile, to grow our class size and to increase the diversity of our applicants."
Verzyl currently serves on the College Board's National College Scholarship Assembly Nominating Committee and Southern Regional Council. He also has served as chair of the South Carolina ACT Council and chair of the SEC Admissions Network. Verzyl frequently presents at both regional and national enrollment management conferences throughout the United States.
The SAE is a peer-review awards program that recognizes outstanding achievement and visionary leadership in strategic enrollment management. AACRAO is one of the nation's oldest and largest higher education associations and the recognized authority on student admissions, academic records and enrollment services. Its members include 11,000 higher education professionals representing more than 2,600 institutions in 40 countries.

Although the European Commission decided against imposing new legislative restrcitions on radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for now (opting for "soft legislation" instead) , a top official warned on Monday that regulations are likely if future uses of the technology don't protect fundamental privacy rights, reports ZDNet. Gerald Santucci, head of the European Commission unit whose domain includes RFID issues, said he feared that rushing to place restrictions on industries hoping to use the technology would choke its potentially valuable application in health care, business, transportation and other realms. But if regulators deem that widespread RFID use is insufficiently safe, secure and privacy-preserving, then "Mrs. Reding [European Commissioner for Information Society and Media] will have no other option but to trigger legislation," Santucci told participants at a luncheon discussion in Washington DC. By the end of 2008, the commission plans to reevaluate whether legislation is necessary. It's unclear how restrictive any potential rules would be.
Read the full story here (ZDNet). More on the European Commission Policy on RFID can be found here.
RFID, along with sensors and nanotechnology, was one of the key techological developments explored in the 2005 ITU Internet Report on The Internet of Things. An ITU New Initiatives Workshop on Ubiquitous Networks Societies was also held in the same here. Network aspects of identification systems are being studied in the context of standardization by the ITU's JCA-NID.

According to a recent Press Realease by The Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), Singapore is already looking into a new five-year infocomm security roadmap (2008-2012) as it embarks on the final year of the current three-year Infocomm Security Masterplan (2005-2008). The Infocomm Security Masterplan was launched on 22 February 2005 as a strategic roadmap to chart Singapore's national efforts in developing capabilities to prevent cyber-security incidents and protect the critical infrastructure from cyber-threats. According to Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, Second Minister for Information, Communications and the Arts, Singapore "cannot afford to be complacent, especially with new and dangerous threats evolving and growing at such an alarming rate. Instead of simply taking one step forward, we need to be many steps ahead in our efforts to combat cyber threats."
Providing a glimpse of the new five-year Masterplan to be launched in 2008, Dr. Balakrishnan shared that the new infocomm security roadmap will build on Singapore's existing efforts to focus on more international collaborations to improve Singapore's ability to combat cyber threats. The collaborations will look into knowledge exchanges and regular communication between governments on cyber threat trends and protection of critical infrastructure. When launched in 2008, the new security roadmap will also secure Singapore's ultra high-speed and pervasive Next Generation National Infocomm Infrastructure (NGNII) to provide a secure and trusted environment for the creation of new value-added services such as location-based marketing, goods tracking and localised information services and the pervasive adoption of online services such as those in the area of banking, healthcare and education.
Under the current Masterplan, the government has developed various security initiatives to equip public officers with more timely information and knowledge to assess and improve on their cyber defence. This allows them to better protect, detect and respond to cyber threats. An example is the Cyber-WatchCentre which monitors cyber threats real-time and round-the-clock. By mid 2008, the centre will ensure end-to-end security for all public officers, allowing government agencies to better anticipate cyber attacks and respond to them speedily.
For more information on these inititiatives, view the IDA Press Release.
The first steps towards a globally harmonized approach to identity management (IdM) have been taken during a meeting of the ITU Focus Group on Identity Management (FG IdM) bringing together, for the first time, the worlds key players in the IdM space.
IdM promises to reduce the need for multiple user names and passwords for each service used, while maintaining privacy of personal information. A global IdM solution will help diminish identity theft and fraud. Further, IdM is one of the key enablers for a simplified and secure interaction between customers and services such as e-commerce. Experts at the meeting concurred that interoperability between existing IdM solutions will provide significant benefits such as increased trust by users of on-line services as well as cybersecurity, reduction of spam and seamless "nomadic roaming between services worldwide. Abbie Barbir, chairman of the Focus Group on Identity Management: "Our main focus is on how to achieve the common goals of the telecommunication and IdM communities. Nobody can go it alone in this space, an IdM system must have global acceptance. There was a very positive feeling at the meeting that we can achieve this and crucially we saw a great level of participation from all key players."
The meeting of the FG IdM brought together developers, software vendors, standards forums, manufacturers, telcos, solutions providers and academia from around the world to share their knowledge and coordinate their IdM efforts. Interoperability among solutions so far has been minimal. One conclusion of attendees is that cooperation is crucial and that players cannot exist in isolation.
The spirit of the meeting was that everyone will gain by providing an open mechanism that will allow different IdM solutions to communicate even as each IdM solution continues to evolve. Such a "trust metric" does not exist today experts say. Work will continue online and during Focus Group meetings in April, May, and July 2007. An analysis of what IdM is used for will be followed by a gap analysis between existing IdM frameworks now being developed by industry fora and consortiums. These gaps should be addressed before the interworking and interoperability between the various solutions can be achieved. The aim is to provide the basis for a framework which can then be conveyed to the relevant standard bodies including ITU-T Study Groups. The document will include details on the requirements for the additional functionality needed within next generation networks. ITU has a long history of innovation in this field, with key work on trusted, interoperable identity framework standards including Recommendation X.509 that today serves as the primary "public key" technical mechanism for communications security across all telecom and internet infrastructures.

Kaspersky Lab, a developer of secure content management solutions, recently announced its annual report on malware and spam evolution. The report, authored by Kaspersky Lab analysts, surveys the trends of 2006 and looks at what 2007 may bring.
Malware Evolution: 2006. The report provides an overview of the most important incidents in the malware world, highlights the main trends, and examines how the situation will evolve. Particular stress is laid on the continuing increase in the number of Trojan programs, particularly those designed to steal online gaming account data; the first viruses and worms for MacOS; and Trojans for J2ME, which are designed to steal funds from mobile user accounts. The number of new malicious programs was up 41% on 2005. As for the future evolution of malicious programs, Kaspersky Lab virus analysts believe that virus writers and spammers will work ever more closely together; the number of Trojans will continue to increase; and that virus writers will be on the lookout for exploitable vulnerabilities in Vista.
Spam Evolution: 2006. Data provided by the Kaspersky Spam Lab shows that in 2006, between 70% and 80% of mail traffic on the Russian Internet was spam. The majority of spam sent to Russian users originates in Russia, the U.S.A. and China. Spammers actively used graphics in order to evade spam filters. They are also continued to send spam masquerading as personal correspondence in order to get the recipient to read the whole message and then act as the spammers intended, whether by calling a designated number or clicking on a link. The report on spam evolution also highlights how mass mailings differ from each other according to language: most Russian language spam offers education and training, and a wide range of goods ranging from busts of the Russian president to a device which will 'translate' a dog's bark. English language spam, on the other hand, tends to focus on advertising for stocks and shares, viagra and cheap software. The report also notes that spam became increasingly criminalized in 2006, with spammers actively using SMS to spread spam.
The company's analysts believe that technologies currently in use will continue to evolve in 2007, together with further development of graphical spam, and increased criminalization of mass mailings.

ITU-T Study Group 2s February meeting saw work continue on harmonizing numbering resources for child helplines. Study Group 2 is looking at the issue following a request from Child Helpline International (CHI). CHI is a global network of telephone helplines and outreach services for children and young people.
Specifically Study Group 2 is looking at the logistics of providing a global number. It previously conducted a survey which discovered that a wide range of numbers are in use globally and that there is support in many countries for studying a more harmonized solution. A review process will be an initial assessment of all of the various options for introducing childrens helplines. The fundamental question is whether a single number can be deployed worldwide. Other issues include how regulators will handle migration from existing services and who pays for the services.
See the Study Group 2 website and ITU-T Newslog for further information.
The SHA-1 algorithm, which has been widely used in many of today's mainstream security products since 1995, was significantly compromised in February 2005 by a team of researchers led by Xiaoyun Wang based at Chinas Shandong University. (This team had already undertaken attacks against the MD5 and SHA: hash functions previously, prior to their attack on SHA-1).
Their success prompted calls for a replacement algorithm. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology had already announced that they planned to phase out the use of SHA-1 by 2010 in favour of the SHA-2 variants. The need for a replacement algorithm has now led NIST to launch a contest to devise a successor on 27 January 2007. The competition is to begin in the fall of 2008, and continue until 2011, with full completion and approval by 2012. Contests like this one have a promising history in cryptography. Notably, the Advanced Encryption Standard (devised as a more secure replacement to the prior Data Encryption Standard) was devised through an open competition between fifteen teams of cryptographers between 1997-2000.
The New York Times has published an article on the early moves by European governments to implement the European Union Data Retention Directive. The initial programs proposed by the governments of Germany and the Netherlands are more stringent than the directive requires. The New York Times has noted that some of the people involved in this issue are concerned that these programs may represent a policy shift within Europe, which has traditionally followed a policy of protecting individuals' privacy rights.

This summary provides a general discussion of the amended Information Network and Privacy Protection Act (INPPA) of Korea. INPPA sets out the minimum procedural requirements for lawful online transmissions in Korea whereby transmissions of advertised materials against recipients refusal to accept are strictly prohibited. Although these rules are applicable to unsolicited commercial e-mails via the internet, they were intended to apply to all modes of telecommunication such as cellular phones, facsimiles, etc.
The Korean government has made continuing efforts since 1999 to curb the increase in spam mail and has since been monitoring the effectiveness of the implementation of additional provisions. The new law targets senders of spam mail that are commercial in nature. Consistent with its effort to protect minors from being exposed to obscene and violent materials online, the Korean government has also included a provision in the INPPA that requires senders to label those materials as such.

According to Mark Hall, the Director of the U.S. Defense Department's International Information Assurance Program and co-chair of the National Cyber Response Coordination Group (NCRCG), DOD is about to sign an agreement to share incident and threat information with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT). NCRCG is the U.S. federal government's incident response coordinator. It works to defend U.S. cyberspace by providing guidance to federal agencies and working the private sector, state governments, and other countries. Currently, there are 26 NATO countries and Hall feels that it will be much easier for him to work with NATO rather than each of the countries bilaterally. Hall was also recently a participant in a panel at RSA Conference 2007 that discussed "Protecting U.S. Cyberspace: Coordinating National Response to Cyber Attacks."

Standards that will ease the wide spread rollout of video over IP networks took a step forward in January. IPTV architecture and requirements, two fundamentally important areas in standards work were progressed at a recent meeting of the ITU-T Focus Group on IPTV (FG IPTV). There was general consensus in the meeting that FG IPTV will successfully develop documents which will accelerate introduction of IPTV to the global market. Setting the architecture and requirements in stone allows the rest of the work to continue with greater ease.
Meeting at the Microsoft conference center, Mountain View California, at the invitation of the Alliance for Telecom Industry Standards (ATIS) the group saw a record number of contributions and experts worked often late to keep up with the workload. Nearly 90 documents were dealt with in the fields of architecture and requirements alone. Malcolm Johnson, newly elected Director of ITUs Telecommunication Standardization Bureau said in a message he sent to the event: "The excellent cooperation between ITU-T and ATIS is an example of the spirit of cooperation that I believe now pervades in the standards world... From what I have seen there is a great deal to be satisfied by in terms of the progress that FG IPTV has achieved so far."
In opening comments, ATIS President & CEO Susan Miller shared with the 200 meeting attendees that IPTV is serving as a ''change agent" for the industry, and "as both the business case and principal driver for accelerating deployment of the next generation network. "Miller noted that for North American service providers in particular, "IPTV is a critical ingredient to bundled service offerings that encompass television services, mobile services, Internet access, and much more. We have seen in the last decade, enormous investments in broadband, and fiber deployments to the home and to the premise," said Miller. Also important a document outlining terms and definitions in the field was created.
While seemingly mundane this work is crucially important in ensuring consistency of comprehension in an area where many standards outlining different aspects of IPTV will co-exist. Further discussion is expected on whether and how to treat the issue of redistribution of content to a point past an IPTV terminal device, and, in particular, how content protection and content management functions can or should apply in a home network environment. Other issues examined and progressed were accessibility issues for people with disabilities, AV codecs and content format requirements. Output and other documents can be found here. See also the ITU-T newslog for further information.
The next meeting of FG IPTV will be held from 7 to 11 May 2007 in Bled, Slovenia.
Almost 40 countries will participate in the fourth edition of Safer Internet Day (SID) which this year takes place on 6 February.
The event is organised by European Schoolnet, coordinator of Insafe, the European safer internet network. Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for the Information Society and Media is once again patron of Safer Internet Day, as in the past two years.
The highlight of the day will once again be a worldwide blogathon, which will reach Australia on 6th February and progress westward through the day to finish up in the USA and Canada. Following the huge success encountered in 2006, this years blogathon goes one step further to include the voices of hundreds of youngsters.
In the framework of a competition launched in October 2006, more than 200 schools in 25 countries across the globe have been working in pairs, using technology to cross geographical borders, to create internet safety awareness material on one of three themes: e-privacy, netiquette, and power of image. On Safer Internet Day, all of the projects they have produced will be uploaded to the blogathon. The 4 prize-winning teams in the competition will be announced on 6 February when the blogathon opens to well over 100 organisations waiting on the starting block to add their postings on this years theme, Crossing borders.
To find out more about young peoples use of the internet and mobile phones, Insafe has been collecting data over the past two months through an online survey. Preliminary results will be made available on Safer Internet Day along with a wealth of other information tailored to the needs of not only media but also parents, teachers and youngsters in an online media room specially set up at www.saferinternet.org to mark the event.
On Safer Internet Day in the Netherlands, HRH Princess Maxima will be the special guest at an event featuring theatre, music and stories. In Slovenia, young people will showcase art projects and Slovenian national television will broadcast internet safety clips.
Across the globe, hundreds of other events will highlight the growing importance of internet safety in the lives of us all.

In today's interconnected world of networks, threats can now originate anywhere − our collective cybersecurity depends on the security practices of every connected country, business, and citizen. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a specialized agency within the United Nations system, would like to draw Safer Internet Day participants' interest to a number of information resources dedicated to cybersecurity and spam.
The ITU Cybersecurity Gateway is an easy-to-use online information resource on national and international cybersecurity related initiatives worldwide. A vast number of resources and links are available and organizations are invited to join in partnership with the ITU and other stakeholders to build confidence and security in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
The StopSpamAlliance is a joint initiative to gather information and resources on combating spam. This initiative was undertaken by Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the EU's Contact Network of Spam Authorities (CNSA), International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the London Action Plan, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Seoul-Melbourne Anti-Spam group. The StopSpamAlliance.org website contains an overview about each of these organizations activities in countering spam and related threats.
The outcome documents from the two phases of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) emphasize that building confidence and security in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is a necessary pillar for building a global information society. ITU has been asked to play the main facilitator role for to assist stakeholders in building confidence and security in the use of ICTs. To stress the importance of the multi-stakeholder implementation of this task, ITU has named this the Partnerships for Global Cybersecurity (PGC) initiative.
In commenting on the Safer Internet initiative, newly elected ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Toure stressed the need for greater cooperation between regulators, government, security firms, communication service providers, and end users in dealing with the challenges to building a safe and secure information society.
The International Telecommunication Union wishes you all a very successful Safer Internet Day 2007!

According to a recent article in The Register, two young Dutch hackers who built a large botnet were sentenced to prison earlier this week. The main suspect, now 20, was handed a two-year sentence and a 9,000 f($11,800) fine, while his 28-year-old partner was given 18 months and ordered to pay 4,000 0 ($5,200).
As stated by the article, the men, part of a larger hacking ring, and one other suspect, were arrested in 2005 for extorting a US company, stealing identities to purchase cameras and games consoles, and distribute spyware. The operation netted an estimated 60,000 over a period of six months.

Two resolutions relating to cybersecurity and defining ITU's activity in that domain were adopted by ITU Member States at its Plenipotentiary Conference in Antalya, Turkey, held in November 2006. These are:
5-6 April 2007 The Russian Association for Networks and Services (RANS) will hold its sixth international security conference entitled Security and Trust for Infocommunication Networks and Services on 5-6 of April 2007 at the Moscow Marriott Grand Hotel. One of the topics to be considered on the agenda in a grand plenary session will be WSIS Action Line C5 with the participation of Houlin Zhao, ITU Deputy Secretary-General.
14-15 May 2007 The ITU has a new Secretary-General, Dr. Hamadoun Toure, who has indicated in his first public statements and to senior ITU staff that he considers cybersecurity and particularly follow-up to WSIS Action Line C5 to be a key strategic area of focus for future ITU activities.
The next annual facilitation/consultation meeting for WSIS Action Line C5 will be held 14-15 May 2007 at ITU in Geneva in conjunction with a cluster of events to be organized around 17 May (World Telecommunication and Information Society Day). The meeting is open to all participants with an interest in C5 activities. More details concerning the draft agenda and administrative arrangements for the event will be circulated shortly along with a list of other WSIS-related meetings to be held 14-25 May 2005 in Geneva.

IDG Sweden has published an interview between a journalist from Computer Sweden Magazine and a person claiming he is the creator of the Haxdoor Trojan, a program used for bank fishing and responsible for the recent phish of an Australian bank as well as the recent phish of Nordea bank. The interview was done over ICQ. With the assistance of someone from Symantec, the interviewer reached the interviewee, who uses the screen name Corpse, by pretending to be interested in buying a handcrafted version of the program for the phish of a particular bank.
In the interview, Corpse indicates that he is clearly aware that his program is used for bank fraud and offers to sell Haxdoor, including support by him, to the journalist for $3000. In their discussion about attacks that have been perpetrated by Haxdoor, Corpse states that security staff at banks try to hide 99% of the actual attacks in an attempt to prevent their customers from being frightened. However, Corpse will not discuss previous customers or the person(s) who may have been behind some of the attacks by Haxdoor that have become public. When the journalist expresses concern about being caught, Corpse offers to make the attack untraceable by providing the journalist with servers in China, the United States, or Europe for $150 per month. Corpse also makes that claim that versions of Haxdoor exist with the ability to hide in the operating system, and therefore, cannot be detected by anti-virus programs. He goes on the talk about the features of Haxdoor, which include a graphical interface allowing attacks to be tailored, rootkit and self-defense functions, support for all versions of Windows from 98 to Vista, and delivery as a rar or zip archive.
For a full version of the interview (in Swedish), please click here.
Last week, the Anti-Spyware Coalition released its guides on best practices and conflict resolution. The best practices guide is based on a set of software definitions and the risk-model description created by the Coalition. It is intended to provide insight into the way security firms identify applications, flag behavior, and then distinguish between "unwanted" software and software that provides "real value to users." Included is the "clearest description" that the Coalition has issued of the methodology used by anti-spyware companies in determining what software is "unwanted." The conflict resolution guide addresses the topics of competing anti-spyware software on a system and helping consumers understand the problems that may result in their security applications.

Large Share of Tax-Based Student Aid Goes to Higher Income Families
Mar 14, 2013
By Center for Postsecondary and Economic Success
This is fourth in a five-part series highlighting work from CLASP's recent publication, Reforming Student Aid: How to Simplify Tax Aid and Use Performance Metrics to Improve College Choices and Completion. The paper was written as part of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation project Reimagining Aid Design and Delivery.
To maximize the nation's investment in student aid, we must target resources to low- and modest-income families -- those most likely to respond to incentives to enroll in and complete college. Unfortunately, tax-based student aid provides substantial support to individuals who are already highly likely to attend college and so may have little effect on access or completion for these students. In 2013, the Tax Policy Center estimates that 25 percent of the benefits of American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) will go to families making more than $100,000 per year; 29 percent of the benefits of the Lifetime Learning Credit (LLC) will go to families making more than $75,000; and almost half of the benefits of the Tuition and Fees Deduction will go to households with annual incomes of $100,000 or more.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics, in 2010, the immediate college enrollment rate—the percentage of high school completers who enroll in two- or four-year colleges in the fall immediately after completing high school—was 52 percent for low-income families (bottom 20 percent of income), 67 percent for middle-income families (middle 60 percent of income), and 82 percent for high-income families (top 20 percent of income, approximately $100,000 for all tax units).
We can do better. By simplifying and better targeting tax-based student aid--and delivering it in "real time" instead of just when taxes are due--we can make tax aid more like grant aid, which has been shown to increase college enrollment by low- and moderate-income students and reduce their chances of dropping out. See our recent report for these and other policy recommendations on how to reform student aid.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Peter Konz had his proverbial baptism by fire as a rookie, starting 12 games at right guard for the Atlanta Falcons.
Now that he's the starting center after the retirement of Todd McClure, Konz will be grateful for that experience when Atlanta opens the regular season Sept. 8 at New Orleans.
"One of the main things I learned was staying calm," Konz said Sunday. "It's easy to have your head spinning in your first game and kind of freeze in the lights, as they say, but having that experience and playoff experience, especially, lets you know what level you have to play at every day."
The Falcons went 13-3 last year and earned a No. 1 playoff seed as quarterback Matt Ryan earned his second Pro Bowl invitation and led the league in completion percentage, but the rushing attack struggled in short-yardage situations and faltered in both playoff games.
Now that running back Steven Jackson, the NFL's career-leading active rusher, has replaced Michael Turner, Atlanta hopes to cure its woes, but Konz's focus in training camp is on himself and the offensive line.
"I think it's coming along right now," Konz said. "Everybody is communicating really well. I think we just need to keep feeling each other out, know how we block, know how we react and that will make us a better unit."
Konz, a second-round draft pick last year, was a three-year starting center before leaving Wisconsin as a junior, but the Falcons slid him in at right guard when Garrett Reynolds suffered a season-ending injury.
Left guard Justin Blalock, the longest-tenured Atlanta lineman entering his seventh season, believes Konz's off-season work gave him a head start heading into training camp.
Blalock says Konz is still figuring out how to identify blitzes and shifts along the defensive front.
"Sam Baker, Garrett Reynolds, Mike Johnson and myself have been around the block a time or two and we've seen some things, but a lot of that, honestly, will be on him," Blalock said. "He's doing a great job so far. He's a very heady guy, so I don't anticipate any problems there."
Nonverbal communication is important, too, particularly on the road when crowd noise forces Ryan to use a silent snap count.
"There will be times when maybe things just happen too quickly before the snap and there's not time to speak," Blalock said. "Even during a play sometimes with the way physically that you control a block, there are a lot of intricate details, but he's doing a great job so far. That's why we're out here busting our butts so we can get up to speed."
Konz helped his cause physically by using free weights more than kettle bells in the offseason. He also ran more to improve his endurance.
"I'm bigger," he said. "I keep trying to improve on that and also to get functional strength. When it comes to the third and fourth quarters, we expect our team to be even better than last year."

the right time have second child?
I'm now 32 years old and my first child is 8 month old. I plan to get pregnant again after my baby is 2 years old (finish breastfeeding). That means I'll give birth when I'm around 35 --vulnerable age to have problems during pregnancy. I don't think I can handle it if I have to get pregnant again while I'm still breastfeeding. I'm a working mum. What should I do? Thanks.
10th June 2014 07:25 AM #2
Dear lovingmum,
What is it about breastfeeding and being pregnant that you are particularly concerned about? As your baby becomes a toddler they will breastfeed less and less and some pregnant mums who are feeding actually find it gives both themselves and their toddler chance to have a rest or a nap together in the daytime. I personally would not choose to wait until I had finished breastfeeding to get pregnant. I tandem fed my two boys. I actually found this helped my older son to feel connected to me when there was a new baby and to bond with his brother too. Plus, many mums wouldn't want to put a time limit on when their toddler needs to stop breastfeeding by - this could cause extra pressure and stress for everyone (stress is best avoided when you are preparing to conceive). Most children who are left to wean by their own means will do so between age 3 and 4. In the third year of life there are still many benefits of breastfeeding.
Of course, it is your decision. Breastfeeding involves two people and you both need to be happy with the breastfeeding relationship continuing. It is more tiring when you are working too. I do appreciate that.
One other advantage to consider if you did want to tandem breastfeed is that women who do so generally don't have any problems with breastfeeding the new baby.
At age 35 a woman's fertility levels start to decrease more rapidly, although most women will certainly be able to get pregnant naturally. The issue is that both the quality and quantity of a woman's eggs decrease more significantly past this age. This means that certain syndromes are more likely (such as Down Syndrome) although is is still by far the most likely that you would have a healthy baby.
Perhaps another issue to consider is, once you had two children, what if you wanted more - leaving bigger age gaps once you are in your mid thirties does make conceiving more difficult etc.
Please do post back and let me know what you think.
Warm wishes,

Thank you for sharing your experience, LJ. I had some health problems during my first pregnancy and I'm afraid the same will happen to my second pregnancy. I'm working and if it happens then I'm worried about how I will take care of my first child as I don't have a nanny or a helper to help me. However, considering that conceiving will be more difficult in mid thirties, I challenge myself to go on conceiving my second child soon. Hope I can find a helper later on.
14th June 2014 07:24 AM #4
I do appreciate your concerns. It is more difficult being pregnant when you have other children to care for too. I wonder if I could ask what health problems you had in your first pregnancy so we could offer you some support with those?
There is lots to think about with this but I wish you all the best with making this decision.
Warm wishes,

Is it too late to look for summer internships after exams?
– Paul Riley '15
Thanks, Paul! A lot of students have the same question on their minds—so, I think your question is very timely and important.
No, it is NOT too late to look for summer internships! Although some of your friends have already secured summer jobs, a lot of industries and companies are still actively recruiting students for summer positions. With that being said, you still need to begin looking as soon as possible! Though internships can still be found, application deadlines vary. Don't miss out on a great opportunity because you didn't know when the deadline was! Here are my quick tips on how you can START your internship search now.
- Make a list of your interests. What do you like to do? Where do you want to work? Before you start looking, you want to have an idea of the type of opportunities you are looking for. Also, remember to keep your options open. Instead of looking for only paid internships, also look at unpaid opportunities. Set on staying in the U.S.? Why not research international internships, too? Don't box yourself in too early.
- Check out the Online Resources page on the Career Services' website. This is a great one-stop portal to a list of industry search engines that can help your internship search. Of course, TigerTracks and UCAN should be your first stop. Make sure to register for both and start scouring the sites looking for positions that interest you. Try keeping track of each position's deadline and needed materials. Some postings may require references, writing samples, or a link to a portfolio of some sort. Make sure you know what needs to be submitted and when!
- Ask around! Ask people you know about current opportunities they may have heard about. You never know who has information about available internships. Take the time to email friends, family members, former employers, professional contacts, alumni or even professors you know and ask them to keep you in mind if they hear of any potential internship opportunities.
- Follow and like the Career Services Facebook and Twitter pages. We are constantly posting about career events, advice, and opportunities specifically for Princeton students. You'll also be reminded about our upcoming Career Services events such as our Summer Internship Fair and Nonprofit Fair, which will both take place on Feb. 15th from 11 am – 3 pm at Dillon Gym.
- Make an appointment with a career counselor. Our career counselors are here to help you at whatever point of the internship search stage you are at. They can help you make a customized plan and search strategy. They can also review your resume, cover letter, or interview applications. Go to Career Services website or call us at 609-258-3325 to schedule an appointment today.

thanks everyone for viewing. The problem is solved.
Hello there,
I downloaded BT5R2 GNOME x64 and tried loading it from my 4GB ScanDisk USB disk. But every time I load startx command, CPU dies resulting in BlackScreen and flashing CAPSLk button.
I checked for MD5sum and nothing wrong with it.
I created a live USB using UnetBootin-Windows-575. I can get upto command-line interface and then the "startX" command results in the blackscreen problem.
I searched the Internet and other threads in this forum but none of them seems to help me.
I can access GRUB
and then I changedCode:vim /etc/default/grub
toCode:text splash vga=791
I successfully wrote the changes to grub.Code:text splash i915.modeset=1 vga=791
However, I cannot update grub. When I execute "update-grub" command, it displays error message saying:
"/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)"
I guess as I am booting from my USB it is already mounted. Also, I tried mounting all the devices but that didn't work. How do I solve this?
System Configuration:
Video: Intel HD Graphics
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M330 @ 2.13GHz 2.13 GHz
thanks everyone for viewing. The problem is solved.
Hello Sanonyp
I read your thread posted 05-29-2012 and have exactly the same problem as well. I,ve searched the web and forums but unable to find a solution. Can you tell me what you did to solve the problem or send a link that helped you resolve the problem.
Regards Wob

Cholesterol - drug treatmentHyperlipidemia - drug treatment
Your body needs cholesterol to work properly. But cholesterol levels that are too high can be life threatening.
Extra cholesterol in your blood causes deposits to build up on the inside walls of your heart's arteries (blood vessels). This buildup is called plaque. It narrows your arteries and reduces, or even stops, the blood flow. This can lead to a heart attack, stroke, or other serious heart or blood vessel disease.
Your Cholesterol Numbers
Total cholesterol is the amount of all of the fats in your blood. These fats are called lipids. There are different types of lipid that make up your total cholesterol. The two most important types are:
- LDL -"bad" cholesterol
- HDL -"good" cholesterol
High cholesterol, especially "bad" cholesterol (LDL), can clog your arteries. This may reduce blood flow to your heart. It can lead to heart disease, stroke, or heart attack. Cholesterol is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
If you have heart disease or diabetes, your LDL cholesterol should stay below 100 mg/dL.
If you are at risk for heart disease, your LDL cholesterol should be lower than 130 mg/dL.
Almost everyone else can benefit from LDL cholesterol that is lower than 160 - 190 mg/dL.
You want your HDL "good" cholesterol to be high.
For men, HDL should be above 40 mg/dL. For women, it should be above 50 mg/dL. Exercise helps raise your HDL level.
Your doctor may want you to take medicine for your cholesterol. This will depend on your age. Your doctor may also suggest cholesterol medicine if you smoke, are overweight, or have high blood pressure or diabetes.
Most of the time you will need to take this medicine for the rest of your life. Changing your lifestyle and lowering you weight may allow you to stop taking this medicine in some cases. But you will need to keep in mind that you have a cholesterol problem.
Taking Your Cholesterol Medicine
Make sure you know the best way to take your type of cholesterol medicine.
- Some medicines work best when you take them at bedtime. For others, the time of day does not matter.
- You should take some of these medicines with food.
- You should take your medicine at the same time every day. This makes it easier to remember to take it. It also makes you less likely to confuse different pills you may be taking.
Remember to take your medicine as directed. Things that could help are:
- Using a special pill box labeled with the time of day.
- Setting alarms
- Putting a reminder note in a place you are sure to see it.
Make sure you tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking. This includes vitamins and herbal treatments. They may change the way your cholesterol drug works. Ask your doctor if you should avoid any foods or drinks.
Understand the side effects of your medicine. If you have any side effects, call your doctor.
Ask your doctor what you should do if you miss a dose of medicine. Keep all appointments with your doctor. Regular blood tests will tell your doctor how the drug is working. Plan ahead for refills and travel so that you do not run out.
Keep these and all other medicines stored in a cool, dry place where children cannot get to them.
Medicines for Cholesterol
There are several kinds of drugs to help lower blood lipid levels. They work in different ways. Some help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol. Some help lower another fat in your blood called triglycerides. Others help raise HDL (good) cholesterol.
Your doctor will prescribe the best medicine for you. Sometimes you may need to take more than one cholesterol-lowering drug. Three of these drug types are:
- Statins
- Resins
- Fibrates
Ask Your Doctor
When your doctor prescribes medicine to lower your cholesterol, ask:
- How much should I take?
- How often should I take it?
- What time of day should I take it?
- How should I take it? (With food, with water?)
- What other drugs cannot be taken at the same time?
- What are the possible side effects?
- How often should I get my blood retested?
- Should I also be taking aspirin?
- Should I be taking any special vitamins or using fish oil or other over-the-counter remedies?
- Should I avoid certain foods when I am taking this medicine?
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if you:
- Have muscle or tendon aches or weakness
- Have stomach pain, cramps, or gas
- Feel sick to your stomach, or you are vomiting
- Have headaches
- Have diarrhea
- Feel more tired than usual
- Feel dizzy
- Have flushing (your skin is warm and turning red)
- Are unable to sleep

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- The International Bottled Water Association is organizing opposition to a proposed law that would ban the sale of bottled water in 21-fl.oz. or smaller packages on city and county property. The legislation, now being considered by the San Francisco Land Use and Economic Development Committee, calls for the sales prohibition in parks, at large public events including concerts, and from mobile food trucks.
"The International Bottled Water Association opposes this bill and supports the rights of San Franciscans to choose clean, safe, healthy, refreshing, reliable and zero-calorie bottled water when making their beverage decisions," IBWA said. "Efforts to eliminate access to bottled water on San Francisco city or county property will force people to choose less healthy drink options, which have more packaging, more additives (e.g., sugar, caffeine) and greater environmental impact than bottled water."
What's more, the association pointed out, such a law would deny immune-compromised people access to small-package bottled water on city and county property, and would mean that a ready supply of safe water was not available during emergency situations that disrupt the municipal water supply.
All bottled water containers are 100% recyclable, IBWA explained, and PET water bottles use less plastic than most other packaged beverages. About 39% of them were recycled in 2011, up from less than half that percentage eight years earlier. "In addition, EPA figures demonstrate that plastic water bottles make up less than one-third of one percent of the U.S. waste stream," the association reported.

Very happy with the product
By Unfit but trying to get fit.
from Canada
I'm almost 60, not in the best of health or patience but it was a quick 1/2 hour set up (probably 10 min for some!), use it every night while watching TV - it's very quiet, easy to use, works on my own power so goes as fast or slow as I want. Not a super work-out, but better than sitting in my chair.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Mama Duck

As advertised
By Karen
from Richmond, VA
I have this in my home office where it fits nicely in front of a window. It is easy to put together and easy to use. You can actually get a decent workout on it too, even though it is low impact. I don't always have the time or inclination to go out for a walk, so this device is perfect for my needs. I am planning to add ankle and/or wrist weights in the future to get even more out of the workout.

Great Piece of equipment
By mrsjos
from Bonney Lake, WA
I am unable to control some of my balance problems, so the support this offers is tremendous. The fact that it exercises the arms was a selling feature for me. And the fact that it exercises the legs at the same time was essential. It was inexpensive compared to the price wanted for other equipment that would do similar stimulating motions.

Excellent machine
By Anne
from Seattle
I needed a way to begin rebuilding core strength after two years' on prednisone. And I am 73, so this medication was devastating for stamina. The strider is perfect because it goes as fast as I am able, it is very stable, and I feel comfortable using it. It is easy on knees and joints.
A few glitches with a basically good pro
By why do you need this
I like this in that it has no motors, no plug-ins, is easy on the joint and is very quiet, I can slip onto it for a few minutes every now and again without changing clothes and showering. Setting it up, they don't say anything about the moveable rod that allows the base to be spread wider for use: I did figure it out but then I'm pretty handy. Also, the instructions for the data recorder (pulse, count, cumulative count, time) are prettyn non-existent (connect it secure and push the on button - and scroll through it you want). It does not apparently count anything (it has not gone above 0 in a week's use, and the puolse rate varies wildly averaging out at about 250 (no, I'm not dead yet, despite alol appearances to the contrary). But this is not a major problem, I didn't buy it as a data recorder. This is definitely a machine for gentle exercise, it is difficult to break a sweat on, but that's what I want.

This product is awesome

This product is small enough to keep in the family room to use while watching TV. Don't let it fool you, though, it gives you a workout.

Out of my rocking chair
By suzyq
from Virginia
My husband wears a size 13 shoe and the footbeds aren't long enough for him, but they are fine for me. The operation is smooth. It does not hurt my bad knees as they don't have to bend. A perfect machine to pry me out of my rocking chair for a while.

The product works great however we can't get the computer to work to track work out progress - calories burned etc. The computer does turn on when on the machine however it doesn't give any read outs while on the machine or after getting off.

Green building pioneer Alex Wilson, founder of BuildingGreen in Brattleboro, Vt., was named this year's recipient of The Hanley Award for Vision and Leadership in Sustainable Housing. Wilson was selected from among 12 distinguished nominees by a panel of judges that included Michael J. Hanley, president of The Hanley Foundation; Frank Anton, CEO of Hanley Wood; Joyce Mason, vice president of marketing for Pardee Homes; Nate Kredich, vice president of residential market development for the U.S. Green Building Council; and last year's Hanley Award recipient, Edward Mazria of Architecture 2030.
Wilson will receive the award and its $50,000 grant at the USGBC Hanley Award Dinner ceremony Nov. 17 during the USGBC's Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago.
Alex Wilson is probably best known for launching the monthly newsletter Environmental Building News (EBN) in 1992, which became one of the earliest credible sources of information available about green building products and technology. BuildingGreen is also the publisher of the GreenSpec Directory and online technical resources at buildinggreen.com
"Alex Wilson's selection for this year's Hanley Award is a tremendous acknowledgement for his decades of visionary leadership in environmental building," said Michael J. Hanley, creator of the award. "For more than 30 years Alex has quietly and methodically gone about the business of changing the way we build, and in the process has become one of the most influential and trusted voices in the industry."
Wilson was selected from this year's slate of nominees that also included architect David Baker, FAIA; Dennis Creech of Southface Energy Institute; USGBC founder David Gottfried; Robert Hammon of Consol; building scientist Mark LaLiberte; New Orleans' Make It Right Foundation; architect and Cradle-To-Cradle creator William McDonough, FAIA; builder Chris Miles; architect Peter Pfeiffer, FAIA; industry pioneer Steven Winter, FAIA; and public housing executive Sunia Zaterman.

Active (view current version of standard)
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers several grades of carbon and low-alloy steel forged or ring-rolled flanges, forged fittings and valves intended primarily for low-temperature service and requiring notch toughness testing. They are made to specified dimensions, or to dimensional standards, such as the ASME and API Specifications referenced in Section 2. Although this specification covers some piping components machined from rolled bar and seamless tubular materials (see 5.3.3), it does not cover raw material produced in these product forms.
1.2 No limitation on size is intended beyond the ability of the manufacturer to obtain the specified requirements. However, Class 3 of Grade LF787 is only available in the quenched-and-precipitation heat treated condition.
1.3 Supplementary requirements are provided for use when additional testing or inspection is desired. These shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the order.
1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system may not be exact quivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

We all experience anger in our lives. I help clients develop healthy ways to experience and express their anger by: • Identifying effective ways to handle anger and express feelings; • Understanding how feelings such as fear, pride and inferiority feed anger; • Transforming negative patterns of thinking, relating and behaving that influence anger; • Learning ways to communicate, resolve conflicts and meet needs successfully; and • Developing a healthy lifestyle that supports a successful life. The constructive use of anger, assertiveness, helps express and preserve our needs, worth, and convictions while considering and respecting the needs and feelings of others.

Living with anger management can cause difficulties in many aspects of a person's world. Personal, professional and community relationships are at risk if one struggles with anger issues. Tools to reduce anger management involve exploring the root of the anger and dissecting it to discern when, how and why certain anger triggers are activated. Once identifying triggers, we work on how the client can learn to channel the anger into a more productive direction be it via physical activity or other appropriate energy releases. There can also be a focus on mindfulness and meditation to help with the overwhelming anger impulses.

Anger is usually an indication of other deep seated emotions. While working on reducing angry behavior can help live a more peaceful life, getting to the deep seated emotion that drives the behavior is the approach I use. Doing this may not be the desired approach for many; however, the emotional reactions someone has with anger management can can be difficult to manage without understanding what is going on with them.

Part of learning to be in relationship with other people involves managing our anger effectively. Life fire, it can be a positive or negative force, depending on how it's handled. I work with you to understand the differences between passive, assertive, and aggressive anger expression. Through identifying feeling and triggers and exploring family of origin dynamics that influenced how you learned to express your needs, you will begin to learn how to communicate in ways that safeguard rather than sabotage your relationships.

Using an integrative approach, based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Assertiveness Training, and Interpersonal Psychology, I seek to understand, raise your consciousness, teach, role play, and develop healthy assertive communication skills and stress management skills. I employ empathy in my approach, trying to understand and raise your consciousness of the background, cognitive distortions, and emotional triggers which perpetuate your angry response. I also try to help you identify what sadness, difficulties with lack of control and uncertainty, and fears may be driving your angered response. I employ homework exercises and stress management development to help you reach these goals.

Uncontrollable anger, a bad temper and aggression can lead to significant relationship and career failures. Identifying the triggers that cause one to become upset and learning more adaptive strategies and solutions are the essential ingredients for change. Cognitive restructuring, problem solving, improving communication and relaxation strategies are but a few approaches used in anger management treatment. Working with partners, spouses or family members is also beneficial. At times, medication may be warranted in conjunction with therapy or counseling. We at Ashburn Psychological Services are here to help.

Anger is an emotion that, when expressed assertively treats self and others with dignity, and helps us stand up for ourselves to clarify and express what we need or want, like or don't like, etc. On the other hand, anger, as an automatic defense strategy, can damage both ourrelationships and personal health. As a defense strategy, anger is expressed in one of two ways. Some express their resentment outwardly, such as with yelling, and others express it inwardly, by withdrawing, stewing with resentment inside. Awareness of inner thoughts, emotions & body's signals, and understanding how brain & body work together are keys to regulating anger.


text: I was browsing the internet and came across a mock draft from www.condraft.com and they have the cowboys drafting 25th and taken a qb, Drew Stanton from Michigan St. Does anyone know anything about him? I have seen him play only once and he looked fine to me. I know that it is early with 2007 mock drafts but I thought it was interesting that they have us drafting a quarterback with all the Romo rumors as our future if he does well in pre-season.

Thought I would make a recommendation for these 2 cheap pieces of equipment that have kept my forearm/wrist injuries touchwood at bay for a fair while and keeping me from seeing physio ! although went for my back and legs the other day !
http://www.inspiremyhome.co.uk/item/...Gifts-Products = £15 or thereabouts this has helped strengthen my forearm and wrist - alleviating quite bad tennis elbow problems. - I liked this product so much I bought 2 incase i need a spare/1 broke .
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...er/2702784.htm = helped with wrist pain. £5.
I am not a physio or have any links to either products, but they are both very cheap imo and worth a shot, especially the forearm/wrist strengthener.

WATCH: Kenya Moore Bites The Dust During Vegas Competition
(TMZ) - Kenya Moore ate some serious carpet Saturday during a Vegas high-rollers competition.
Kenya and other "Real Housewives" from all the franchises were each paired with 4 real high rollers in competitions that included ... well, a lot of lame games. The shindig was held in front of a big audience at Caesars Palace.
One game was teaching the high rollers how to walk a runway. A confident Kenya sauntered down the aisle but bit the dust.
The way she recovers is truly impressive ... one of the best recoveries we've seen.
