Fans of Chelsea Alehouse Brewery must be patient a bit longer before the pub reopens its doors at a new location. But, according to the owners' hints, it'll be worth the wait.
Chris Martinson, who owns the business with his wife Aubrey, said he anticipates the Chelsea Alehouse reopening at 115 South Main Street in early May. The pub has been temporarily closed since late February when the Martinson's began the process of moving from the Chelsea Clocktower Complex to the new downtown location. Now sandwiched between Cleary's and Smokehouse 52, across the street from Common Grill and sharing a parking lot with purple Rose Theatre, the newly-located Alehouse will become a part of the vibrant mix of downtown Chelsea.
Martinson said he and his wife have been inundated on social media with the big question: "When are you going to reopen?"
"There is a lot of excitement out there, and we're just as excited as everyone else. I assure you, we are moving as fast as we can!" Martinson said.
The downtown location, besides being situated in the very heart of Chelsea, will allow for an expanded kitchen, and therefore, an expanded menu. Along with new food offerings (not yet revealed), the beer list will also be expanded from eight to twelve beers on tap to eighteen-plus. The Martinson's are in the process of switching from a microbrewery license to brewpub license with the goal of producing their own beer while also bringing in more beers from regional breweries for tasting.
Regular patrons need not worry as tried and true Alehouse events such as bluegrass band Thunderwude on Wednesdays, jazz on Sundays and Trivia on Tuesdays will pick up where they left off. Additional food and beer pairing events centered on beer education will also be included in the mix, Martinson said.
The Chelsea Alehouse Brewery first opened at the Clocktower in December 2012. With a five-year lease coming to its end, Martinson said the opportunity to relocate downtown was ideal.
By the way, anyone interested in becoming part of the Alehouse team may fill out an online application at chelseaalehouse.com or Chelsea Alehouse Brewery Facebook page. All positions are open, including hosts, servers and kitchen staff.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, young Lincoln was a natural fit for cruel frontier politics, but when the verbal battles turned physical, he discovered the risks of taking the low road.
Take an honest look at Honest Abe as Lincoln scholars strip away the saintly image of our 16th president. Abraham Lincoln's now legendary status obscures his true personality, but archival documents now reveal his road to presidency was not as humble as we once believed. And the man the exposed is one who despised his upbringing, taunted his rivals, and nearly poisoned himself as he battled depression.

Keker & Van Nest partner Jan Little has launched a new website.
Little, who is married to Rory Little — a professor at UC Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, handled high-stakes criminal and complex civil litigation for more than 25 years, and was previously recognized as one of the "Best Lawyers In America" for bet-the-company litigation, commercial litigation and white collar criminal defense according to Keker & Van Nest.
The address of the new website is http://jannielsenlittlekeker.net/
Rory Little, spouse of Jan Little of Keker & Van Nest. Professor Little is a Ninth Circuit judicial aspirant and professor of law at U.C. Hastings. He was appointed special prosecutor in the matter of In Re Girardi by Chief Judge Alex Kozinski.
Judge William Fletcher, a member of the Ninth Circuit panel that adjudicated the matter of In re Girardi, 08-80090, rejected the lenient recommendations of Rory Little. He stated: "with any competent lawyer if you're omitting part of a document, that is not accidental. That is intentional." The court adjudicated that the grave misconduct by Walter Lack and Thomas Girardi included "the persistent use of known falsehoods," and that the "false representations" were made "knowingly, intentionally, and recklessly" during years of litigation.
Peviously, in papers submitted to federal court, a party not associated with TLR/YR accused Ninth Circuit Judicial Aspirant Rory Little of compromising his ethics in exchange for a promise of judgeship. (see above)
Unfortunately, Keker & Van Ness questionable method of operating through a diverse proxy in various matters, including in the matter of In Re Girardi, ipso facto created a scenario by which the interests of Jan and Rory Little are inconsistent with those of The Leslie Brodie Report and YR — who exposed the scheme in the matter of In Re Girardi / Howard Rice.
Tom Girardi of Girardi & Keese. Per the Ninth Circuit, Walter Lack and Thomas Girardi have resorted to employing "the persistent use of known falsehoods" and "false representations" were made "knowingly, intentionally, and recklessly" during years of litigation. Subsequent to those findings, the State Bar of California appointed Howard Rice's Jerome Falk to serve as special prosecutor against Girardi, Lack, and their respective firms. None mentioned that Girardi and Lack are actually clients of Jerome Falk and Howard Rice. See story here. For additional allegations of misconduct leveled against Girardi, please see here, and here , and here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here, and here. For the latest on Walter Lack, please see here. (Image: courtesy photo)
As such, consistent with the efforts to obtain publicity for the cause, YR is mulling, reluctantly, a peaceful assembly to expose the antics of Rory Little/ Keker & Van Nest in front of Hastings College of the Law, in the rotunda known as "The Beach."
Other alternative methods to expose Little may include the use of leaflets, which will be placed in the SIC folder of each student.

Saying goodbye to Windows XP: 3 free tools for Windows deployment
By now everyone should know that Windows XP support ends on April 8. But that doesn't necessarily mean everyone has jumped into action. Despite a nearly two-year warning about this deadline, at the end of 2013 more than one in four PCs around the world had yet to break the XP habit. And while the number of PCs running on Windows XP is surely dropping, many organizations still need to step into the light and adopt Windows 7 or Windows 8.
While moving to a new version of Windows might seem like a hassle, organizations should look at it as an opportunity to inspect their entire IT infrastructure beyond just the OS they use and identify any room for improvement.
For those working to upgrade their OS in the next couple months, Microsoft offers three free tools for all organizations, no matter their size, infrastructure, or IT resources, to smooth the transition. Here's how they can help:
1. Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit. For large companies that potentially own thousands of PCs running Windows XP, the massive deployment of a new OS can overwhelm IT teams and extend the transition process beyond allotted timetables.
But with the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK), adapted from a tool used by OEMs to quickly deploy Windows on machines before they head to market, IT professionals can customize and automate large-scale installations of Windows by inventorying applications, identifying compatibility issues, migrating user data, installing Windows company wide, and managing activation statuses. The kit not only simplifies and expedites deployment for companies with large device stores, but works for small organizations as well, ensuring an easy transition for all parties.
Windows ADK is designed specifically for Windows 8 deployments. Organizations migrating to Windows 7 can use the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK).
2. Application Compatibility Toolkit. Another common challenge that companies face when transitioning from XP is application compatibility with Windows 7 or Windows 8. In order to simplify the conversion process, Microsoft offers the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) to help IT teams identify the compatible and incompatible applications within their environments and assess the risk of moving specific applications to the new operating system. For incompatible applications, the ACT identifies the issues within the application and helps to explain how to make the application compatible in the future.
Organizations looking to migrate to Windows 7 or an older OS should use ACT version 5.6 to check compatibility. For Windows 8 deployments, the ACT is integrated into Windows ADK.
3. Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2013. Many organizations run under unmanaged, multi-user environments, which can muddy the waters for operating system shifts. When companies file information in numerous locations throughout their IT environments, it's obviously more difficult for IT staff to identify, sort, and move the data stores into a new Windows format.
For companies fearing a difficult transition, Microsoft provides the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2013. This free tool kit readies and deploys your current images and applications to your new operating system of choice, whether Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008 R2. You can even automate desktop and server deployment no matter how complicated your data infrastructure, streamlining the Windows deployment process.
Keep in mind that you're not alone in the move from XP. While transitioning to a new version of Windows seems like a bear, in reality it's an opportunity to craft a stronger and more efficient IT infrastructure. Take this time to assess your company's IT infrastructure, clean out data, and improve security. Look at the new operating system as a chance to alleviate all of the past system pain points and develop a solution to support current and future needs.
If you require assistance with your Windows deployment, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dozer is a four-piece stoner rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. Formed in 1995, they released 5 studio albums before falling into hiatus in 2009. The band reunited in 2012 to play DesertFest and have played sporadic dates since.
Dozer was formed in Borlänge, Sweden on December 25th 1995.[1] The original line-up of the band included Fredrik Nordin (vocals, rhythm guitar), Tommi Holappa (lead guitar), Magnus Larsson (bass) and Erik Bäckwall (drums).[2] The band began life playing local youth centres and getting themselves support slots when bands played their home town. In 1997, Larsson left the band to pursue his love of martial arts and was replaced on bass by Johan Rockner who has remained with the band ever since.[3]
In 1998 the band recorded and started to send out a demo, titled Universe 75.[4] Later in the year, they released their first of three splits with fellow Swedish stoner rock band Demon Cleaner through Molten Universe, titled Demon Cleaner vs. Dozer.[5] On April 20th 1999, Dozer also released a split with Unida.[6] Later in the year, they released the second and third of their splits with Demon Cleaner titled Hawaiian Cottage[7] and Domestic Dudes[8] respectively. In late 1999, Holappa formed another band, Greenleaf, which over the bands existence has included several members of Dozer.[9]
First Studio AlbumsEdit
During the bands early years, they sent a demo tape to Man's Ruin Records, a label which, at the time, was highly influential and acclaimed throughout the stoner rock scene. The owner of the label, Frank Kozik, was personally impressed with Dozer's sound and gave them a contract to record their first studio album. On 25th April 2000 Dozer released this album, titled In The Tail of a Comet,[10] which is said to have been recorded for only $500. Dozer supported the album with a European tour alongside fellow Swedish stoner rock band Lowrider.[11]
On 26th February 2001, they released their second album, Madre de Dios, again via Man's Ruin,[12] with a vinyl version released by Molten Universe.[13] Soon after the release of Madre de Dios, Man's Ruin Records began to wind down operations/[14] Dozer's first release after the demise of Man's Ruin was the 2001 split Sonic Reducer / El Cono del Encono with Argentinian band Los Natas via Black Juju Records. Dozer's half of the split was a cover of 'Sonic Reducer' by The Dead Boys. [15]In 2003, Dozer released their third album, Call It Conspiracy via Molten Universe. The album was produced by Chips Kiesbye, a well known Swedish producer.[16] After the release of their third album, Bäckwall left the band, and was replaced on drums by Karl Daniel Lidén of Demon Cleaner and Greenleaf. The band released the track 'Rising' as a single later in 2003, and produced a video for the song.[17] In 2004 Dozer released the Star by Star split with Giants of Science[18] and also played their first American and Australian shows in May and June of the year.[11]
Later Years, Hiatus and ReturnEdit
Dozer's fourth album came on 24th January 2005 in the form of Through the Eyes of Heathens, released via Small Stone Records (CD)[19] and Molten Universe (vinyl).[20] The album was recorded at the Seawolf Studios in Helsinki, Finland. The track 'Until Man Exists No More' features vocals by Mastodon's Troy Sanders.[19]
In the early months of 2006, Lidén left the band and was replaced on drums by Olle Mårthans.[3] In 2007 they released a split with Brain Police, titled Exoskeleton, via Molten Universe.[21] Dozer's fifth album, Beyond Colossal, was released in the late months of 2008 via Small Stone. The album was recorded and mixed by former drummer, Lidén.[22] The album featured guest vocals by Neil Fallon of Clutch on the tracks 'Empire's End' and 'Two Coins for Eyes', and also featured organist Jocke Åslund on the track 'Bound for Greatness'.[22] The band followed it up with a short European tour. [11]
On 13th November 2009, Dozer played The Rockhouse in Borlänge, Sweden, it was thought at the time to be their last ever show as the band went on an indefinite hiatus due to vocalist Fredrik Nordin taking up his studies.[11] In the time prior to their hiatus, Dozer had toured frequently, playing over 300 shows across the world and sharing the stage with bands such as Clutch, Lowrider, Mastodon, Nebula, Unida and Spiritual Beggars.[11] During their hiatus, many of the band played with Greenleaf.[9]On 21 November 2012, Dozer confirmed via their website that they were reuniting, with three shows booked.[23] The first of these shows took place on December 21st 2012 at Restaurang Liljan, in Borlänge, Sweden.[11] The other two shows were at DesertFest Berlin and DesertFest London respectively in April of 2013.[11] The reunion was initially orchestrated by Reece Tee, one of the main organisers of Desertfest London.[24] Just prior to their shows at the DesertFest events, the band released a split 7" single with NYFM.[25] On 26th July 2013, they released a series of pre-production demos from the Through the Eyes of Heathens sessions as an EP titled Vultures.[26]
In 2014, the band played a date in London, with Lowrider and Steak, as well as Hellfest[11] and Up in Smoke Festival.[23] They are also set to play DesertFest Antwerp in October 2015.[27]

Board of Directors
Linda Wilkerson
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I have been an ACPE Certified Educator for 24 years, the last 18 of them working as the Director of Pastoral Care and CPE Supervisor for Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas, Texas. I am an ordained Baptist minister and have also served for almost nine years as Senior Co-Pastor of Iglesia Bill Harrod in west Dallas, where I am now Pastor Emeritus.
As an ACPE member, I am currently the Treasurer of the organization and have served previously on the Board of Representatives and on the Certification Commission. In what was the Southwest Region, I served on the Certification Committee and as the Chair of the Budget and Investment Committee.
I am married to Mark Grace, also an ACPE Certified Educator and have two adult step-children, their partners, and two wonderful grandsons – they are all my deeply loved family. Beau and Sam, our dogs, round out the immediate family. My mother died in 2017 and my father, who I visit regularly in South Carolina, will be 87 years old this year.
Robert Renix
Board Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I am a native of Memphis, TN. I first received my call to the ordained ministry in 1997 in a non-denominational Christian church. In 2007, I was ordained by the American Baptist Churches-USA. Currently, I serve on the ministerial team at the Community Church of Washington DC, United Church of Christ (UCC). I'm dually recognized by UCC and endorsed by the Alliance of Baptists. I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of Memphis and a Master of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary. I am pursuing a Doctorate of Ministry in Educational Leadership at Virginia Theological Seminary (anticipated 2022).
As a Commissioned Officer in the United States Army, I served in the Persian Gulf War (1991) and was decorated with a Bronze Star Medal for my wartime service. I am a ACPE Certified Educator and a Board Certification Chaplain (BCCI) with the Association for Professional Chaplains. Since 2018, I served on the Endorsement Council for the Alliance of Baptists. I am a sustaining member of the National Alliance for Mental Illness's DC Chapter (NAMI-DC) where I served as the Chapter's Board of Director Vice President (2016-17). I am also a sustaining member with the Alliance of Baptists and the ACPE Foundation. I am a Theory Mentor in the new process and have served on regional certification committees. As ACPE forged towards a new governance and way of being, I served on the ACPE Redesign Implementation Team.
Since September 2014, I am the first African American to serve as Director of Chaplain Services at Saint Elizabeths Hospital. I am a recipient of the Department of Behavioral Health Director's 2017 "Unsung Hero" award for his work with inclusion to bridge various departments. I was also Saint Elizabeths Hospital's January 2018 Employee of the Month. In May 2018, I received the "Emerging Leaders' Award" at ACPE's Annual Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. I am a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated, Alpha Sigma Chapter, Washington, DC.
I am passionate about education and helping others discover and uncover their divinity lived out through their humanity. I supervise and train clergy, seminarians and lay persons in the clinical setting as they discover, develop and advance their spiritual care practice. I consider my call to serve as a "Minister to the Ministers" believing that we are a "priesthood of believers." I facilitate seminars in Cultural Competency, Family Systems Theory, Grief and Loss, Group Process and Dynamics, Use of Self, Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and Boundary Awareness. I enjoy teaching classes for Spiritual Gifts and Theological Reflection. My life is guided by my Big Mama's affirmation found in Psalms 139. She often said I am "fearfully and wonderfully made and don't let nobody tell you different." I believe a personal relationship with God is key to reaching our God-given potential.
Paula Teague
Board Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I am Paula Teague, "recorded" (ordained) Society of Friends (Quaker) minister. I grew up in central North Carolina and attended a Quaker College (BA) and Seminary (M.Div.). I began CPE during seminary and found my calling in ministry that summer doing chaplaincy. My first CPE Supervisor was Rev. Vern Kuehn, someone for whom I feel intense gratitude to this day. He encouraged me, even at that early stage, to consider becoming a CPE Supervisor/Educator. I was able to pursue this vision for my ministry in Jacksonville, Florida and Birmingham, Alabama. I was certified as a CPE Supervisor in 1989. I tell everyone I was only twelve. (smile) I have felt a deep gratitude to CPE as it created a path for me to be more of myself, express my gifts and claim my authority and power as a woman. I have been fortunate to serve in ACPE in various roles including regional certification, regional chair, ACPE Personnel Committee and as ACPE Treasurer. In 1992, I received a D. Min. from Columbia Seminary in Atlanta and in 2009, I received an MBA from the Johns Hopkins Carey School of Business in Baltimore, Maryland. Both degrees helped to deepen my skills as an educator and a leader.
My first grandchild was born in the summer of 2018. Asa is now showing us his personality and is absolutely delightful. I am an avid mystery reader, herb gardener and Carolina Tarheel fan. I am most happy with good friends, drinking a glass of wine and sharing deeply about our lives together.
Mari Chollet
Board Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
I was born in Brazil and have lived in the US for the past 18 years. Sidnei and I have been married for 23 years. Our children Julian (13) and Brianna (10) have challenged us to stay tune to each other and learn the art of parenting together. Family life and parenting are a daily adventure—exciting, terrifying, and rewarding! I love being a mom and navigating education from the intersection of both roles as a parent and as an adult educator.
I have been a part of ACPE for 15 years. As an educator, I work with both CPE Level I/II and CPE Certified Educator Program. I have been involved in leadership roles since I became certified in 2004/2006. During the past 12 years, I have served both regionally and nationally in committees, commissions, and board assigned task forces. I was a member and chair of the Accreditation Committee and served on the Accreditation Commission. In my work with Accreditation, I enjoyed the opportunity to look at the big picture, identify areas of improvement, and focus on consistency as well as finding solutions or improvements to problems and processes. I was part of the five member task force that revised the 2016 ACPE Standards & Manuals. I had a significant role in the Certification Reform Task Force particularly in developing the new ACPE Educator Competencies. I have been actively involved with ACPE organizational changes for the past many years serving in significant task forces that had a role in shaping ACPE's future. I completed a research on the educational process of ACPE Educators and the supervisory relationship between educator and educator candidate (results in process). I love both ACPE and CPE work. I am passionate about our organization and its mission.
I am relational, focused, detail-oriented, and organized. I can think analytically and systemically in order to address both the detail and the bigger picture. I am very passionate and creative. I love brainstorming with others to create solutions and processes. I have a rich cultural background and am able to view experience from more than one perspective. I enjoy working with those who are different than me and challenge me to consider diverse viewpoints. I am an attentive listener. I value the opinion of others and seek consultation and collaboration. I am eager to learn from others expertise, experience, and otherness. I am reflective and able to negotiate. I hold boundaries and confidentiality to a high standard. I am eager to gain knowledge and experience in all areas I am involved. I am dedicated and responsible to follow through and complete tasks and projects.
Relationally, I have learned and matured in my work with ACPE over the past many years. I am more able to manage and utilize my passion in ways that are collaborative and respectful of others. I am able to listen and speak effectively communicating in a collegial manner. I know and have worked efficiently with many ACPE colleagues in various areas and generations. I have learned so much from so many.
Danielle Buhuro
Board Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
Faith. Family. Fairness. These three words best describe me. I am a social justice activist with a passion for issues pertaining to violence studies and African American pastoral care and psychology. I am an ACPE Certified Educator and also a board certified chaplain in the Association of Professional Chaplains. I attended Chicago Theological Seminary where I earned a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry degrees. Currently I'm enrolled in the Ph.D. program at the seminary, studying in the arena of social media violence and ethics. I am ordained clergy in the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ.
I am the author of "Is There a Heaven for a 'G'? A Pastoral Care Approach for Gang Violence" (Wipf and Stock, 2017). This winter/spring, Wipf and Stock will publish my second work, an edited anthology, "Spiritual Care in an Age of #BlackLivesMatter: Examining the Spiritual and Prophetic Needs of African Americans in A Violent America" (2019).
I facilitated several chaplain and CPE webinars and conference workshops pertaining to race, chronic illnesses and violence. My greatest accomplishments are being a compassionate same-gender-loving partner and courageous parent to two vivacious 9-year old little boys, the baby prophet Ezekiel and the baby king Josiah.
Matt Rhodes
Board Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
I grew up in Arkansas and have lived on the east coast for the last two decades, with the last decade being in New Jersey. I'm married to Rachel, who is a pastor in a Presbyterian church, and I have two young kids that I get on the floor and play with, or sing the soundtrack of Frozen with, after long days at the hospital. Professionally, I am an ACPE Certified Educator, a Presbyterian Minister, and the Director of Religious Ministries for Penn Medicine Princeton Health. I've served as an Executive Director with L'Arche, and my current position is as Executive Director of the Department of Religious Ministries, which is a 501c3 that reports to a Board of Multi-faith Clergy. I also serve as the VP of the Board of Directors for Womanspace, a non-profit that provides services to women, men, and children who have experienced domestic violence and/or sexual assault.
I've helped to start our ACPE program, get it accredited, and expanded it to include two intern groups and a residency group, while navigating the institutional, governmental, and ACPE structures to ensure a the integrity of our mission is matched by financial sustainability. Additionally, I serve as a Theory Paper Reader and a Theory Presentation Mentor. With this ACPE experience combined with the non-profit board experience, I would like to offer my gifts to be of service to this organization that I, like so many of you, love.

Randy Hall
Chair-Elect, Accreditation Commission
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
I am an ACPE Certified Educator and endorsed by the Alliance of Baptists. My Doctor of Ministry degree was completed in 2007 through Graduate Theological Foundation. I received my Master of Divinity from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1987. I graduated from Furman University in 1984 with a BA in Religion. I completed my supervisory education at Alamance Regional Medical Center (ARMC) in Burlington, NC. I remained at ARMC after being certified as an ACPE Associate Supervisor in 2008. I became the Director of CPE in the Pastoral Care and Counseling Department at ARMC in 2009. I was granted ACPE Supervisor in 2010 and stayed at ARMC until August of 2013. I immediately entered the Pastoral Care Department at UNC Hospitals as contract supervisor and became a full-time member of the staff in December of 2013.
I have served as an adjunct member of the Certification Committee for the Mid-Atlantic Region of ACPE (MARACPE). I have also served on and am currently the co-chair of the Accreditation Committee MARACPE. I have been the region's commissioner on the ACPE Accreditation Commission since 2013.

I am a APC Board Certified Chaplain and serve as an ACPE Certified Educator at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland, OR where I supervise Level I, Level II, and Certified Educator CPE Programs. I am an ordained minister and on the clergy roster of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Prior to my ministry in chaplaincy and CPE, I served fourteen years as a parish pastor and mission developer in both Arizona and Oregon. I received a Master of Divinity degree from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, CA and a Doctor of Ministry degree in Congregational Mission and Leadership from Luther Seminary, St. Paul, MN.

Debra Slade
Accreditation Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I am an ACPE Certified Educator, and the Director of Spiritual Care and CPE at Norwalk Hospital in Connecticut. I have a Master's of Divinity from Yale Divinity School, and law degree from Oxford University where I studied as a Rhodes Scholar. Following careers in legal education, advocacy, and not-for-profit administration, I became an Episcopal priest and healthcare chaplain with a specialty in pediatrics.
At Norwalk Hospital, I have helped to develop two satellite CPE programs, co-founded a consortium for supervisory education, and participated in five and ten year reviews. This coming year, our center will offer CPE units for prison chaplains through an educational placement agreement with the CT DOC. I am interested in helping to make our accreditation process more collegial and user-friendly, with clear guidance and rubrics.
Recent empty nesters, my husband Peter and I live with our Westie dog Neville on Lake Mamanasco in Ridgefield, CT.
Certification Commission
Robin Franklin
Chair-Elect, Certification Commission
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
I did my first unit of CPE in the summer of 1988 at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, GA. That's about as long as my oldest niece has been alive! When I started supervisory education, I was one of the youngest and now I have enough gray hair to be considered an elder. I wanted to be an ACPE Supervisor almost from the moment I knew such a career existed. I wish I could name all of those who kindled that desire. I served on the Executive Board of the Eastern Region as the secretary for two terms and also served on the committee to recruit a Regional Director one year. I served on the Certification Committee for the Eastern Region and the region's Annual Meeting Chair. Eventually I was asked if I would serve on the Certification Commission and I have done that twice. I bring experience of the Certification process, knowledge of aspects of ACPE, and a desire to continue expanding my abilities as a leader. I have a growing understanding of the new process and want to be a part of that process as it evolves, as well as helping those swimming through the old one. My hobbies include singing, reading (sci-fi, really more fantasy) and traveling. My last trip was a cruise to Alaska – sad and awesome at the same time. I hope I will get the opportunity to serve the organization in this way.
Johnny Bush
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I have long held interests in Supervisory Level CPE and the process of certification coming out of experience, having been a non-traditional student in CPE and the certification process. In both, my process as a learner and now in my work as an educator, my advocacy has always been in support of underrepresented students in ACPE. Formerly, as a minority among ACPE students and a bi-vocational learner, my process was challenged with the ever evolving standardization of CPE and having to compete in processes designed for full-timers. Now as an African-American male ACPE Certified Educator for 15 years, there have been many times I've felt marginalized and lonely, given the former regional constructs and organizational oversight, but having enough extroversion in my personality being the eighth of nine siblings, I was able to build some lasting and meaningful relationships in ACPE. I've forged some powerful interactive networks and above all found a cultural home away from home in this community.
I have worked with Supervisory Level CPE for nearly 15 years as either theory paper reader or consultant, as primary educator or mentor, as advocate for students, or as member of certification. I am excited about new and different dimensions to our certification process and the hospitality of making room for others especially who share an under-represented experience in ACPE, such as my own. I am a congregational pastor for three decades and an Assistant Director for CPE at Westchester Medical Center in New York since 2015. I formerly served as part-time Consulting Supervisory Faculty for Healthcare Chaplaincy Network in New York City for more than 15 years.
Anastasia Holman
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I am a Chaplain Manager and ACPE Certified Educator endorsed by the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. I am currently responsible for the administrative and management oversight of Spiritual and Pastoral Care throughout the North Suburban Area of the IU Health System. I am a faithful minister and ministry team member, with a passion for serving, empowering, facilitating, preaching, social and equal justice and spiritual care. I enjoy spending time with my family, dancing, walking, connecting with nature and taking naps.
As a CEC, Associate Certified Educator and ACPE Certified Educator, I have served on the regional and national level of ACPE: East Central Region; Racial Ethnic Multicultural Network (REM) Chair (2012-2017); REM National Board Member (2012-2017); East Central Region Standards Committee Member (2012-2017) and the East Central Region Secretary (2016-2017). I currently serve as part of the National Certification Implementation Work-Group (2016-Present); National Advocacy Committee (2018-2020) and REM COP Board (2017-Present). I have also served on Accreditation Site Visits in the East Central Region. I have had the honor of serving on Theory Paper Reading Committees, as well as National Certification Committees and I received the "Emerging Leader Award," in May 2018. I am passionate about the ministry and work of ACPE, "The Standard for Spiritual Care and Education." It would be an honor to serve as an ACPE Certification Commissioner.
Kitty Garlid
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I recently retired from Maine Medical Center where I was Director of Spiritual Care and Education for nine years. Prior to that I served in a similar role in Connecticut for 27 years, first as a chaplain and director, and then as an ACPE Certified Educator beginning in 2006. Having served the APC on their certification commission both locally and nationally for many years, I am committed to the certification process in ACPE also where I have served on the Certification Commission, the Certification Reform Task Force, and the Certification Implementation Task Force. I would like to continue contributing to a smooth transition to the New Certification Process.
Stephen Goss
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
I trained in Houston, Texas, making Associate Supervisor in 1991, and since them have led or been on teams leading ACPE programs in Birmingham, AL; New Orleans, LA; Fort Worth, TX; and Albuquerque, NM. I am in my ninth year as Director of CPE at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth, VA. Formerly, I served as a Campus Minister and a Staff Chaplain. I earned a BS in Secondary Education from Tennessee Technological University in 1975; and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1979. I am an Ordained Minister in the Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ).
For ACPE, I served as Mid-Atlantic Certification Co-chair from 2012 to 2017, continuing to serve in some of those functions in 2018. In the Southwest Region, I served as RANC Chair and Standards Chair, and for four years on the Certification Committee, and as a regular adjunct Certification member for an additional five years. I have been a member of the REM Network/Community of Practice since 1993, attending 21 of last 26 Invitationals and sending students to 23 of last 27 meetings. Currently, I am the convener for the Virginia CPE Consortium and, beginning in January, for The Mid-Atlantic SOS Communities of Practice.
Christine Davies
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2021
I am a New Jersey native and a minister in the PC(USA). I earned my Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary and a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University. Prior to entering chaplaincy, I was a cognitive behavioral therapist for individuals struggling with addition and mental health. I have previously led the chaplaincy program at NYU Langone Medical Center and currently serve as the Director at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in NJ. I was fully certified as an ACPE Certified Educator less than 5 years ago, and bring a fresh perspective of someone recently in the process.
Since that time, I served regionally on Accreditation and Certification Committees. Presently, I supervise a CEC in addition to extended students. In my free time, I attempt to keep up with my two wild and energetic sons (ages 2 & 4) and am learning the art and science of bee keeping (no honey yet!)
Janet Barriger
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
Having served on the SCR Certification Committee for many years after Jim Gunn invited me to do so in the late 2000s, I have been a part of certification at the regional level for many years. I became chair of our region's Certification Committee in 2015, thus placing me on the ACPE Certification Commission, and involved in the ACPE transition in governance and structure. I am willing and interested in continuing to serve on the Certification Commission.
While my first unit of CPE in the summer of 1992 during divinity school was a mixed experience for me, my supervisor's words of encouragement returned to me eight years later as I was discerning my next move in ministry while serving in a church. I have been involved as a CPE resident and beyond in ACPE since 2000. I am an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and have lived in many states—from FL to CT along the east coast, in MI where I served in the oldest UCC church in that state, and in CO since 2000. Much of my time outside work is spent hiking, in my garden (in summer), on home renovation projects with my husband, and painting (watercolor) or drawing (charcoal).
Cam Holzer
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2020
Ordained to the pastoral ministry in 1990, I am endorsed with the Alliance of Baptists, an APC Board Certified Chaplain and ACPE Certified Educator. I completed residency at Spartanburg Medical Center with specialization in psychiatric chaplaincy then fellowship at UK HealthCare with specialization in pediatric chaplaincy (1989-92), and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Lexington Theological Seminary (1997). I have served as: domestic violence counselor and educator (1992-1995); teaching counselor and program manager for residential communities of adults with developmental disabilities (1995-1997); associate pastor of spiritual formation for Holy Cross Episcopal Church in South Carolina (1997-2003); director of pastoral care for Touro Infirmary, a Jewish community hospital in New Orleans, serving in this capacity the years before, during and after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina (2003-2008).
I had opportunity to train as an ACPE Certified Educator within two of the largest ACPE System Centers in the nation, Seton HealthCare in Austin, TX and Indiana University Health in Indianapolis, IN, continuing on at IU Health as Pastoral Educator, then Senior Pastoral Educator (2008-2013). I served two terms with the East Central Region Accreditation Committee, participating in ten on-site team visits (2012-2017), regularly serving as an ad hoc member of the ECR Certification Committee through this time as well. I returned to Lexington in 2013 to resume, run and steadily grow the CPE Center at UK HealthCare. If elected, I readily welcome the opportunity to be of new and dedicated service as an ACPE Certification Commissioner.
Nancy Wigdahl
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019
I join many of you in excitement about the new certification process: intentional conceptual preparation plus a structured portfolio and a consistent mentoring process makes for a welcome ego-preserving process and better-prepared educator. I look forward to this opportunity to serve as a Certification Commissioner who will provide guidance and mentoring in this new process.
I bring over 25 years as an educator in all levels of training, past Accreditation Commissioner and now National Site Team Chair, and a regional Certification Member, and Theory Paper Reader. I am an ELCA pastor and serve on the editorial board of Caring Connections, a Lutheran journal for spiritual care providers.
Dana Schroeder
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019
Since the summer of 2015, I have been an ACPE Certified Educator and Staff Chaplain at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Illinois in the west suburbs of Chicago. Prior to joining the faculty in the Advocate Aurora Health System, I was Department Director and CPE Supervisor at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio from 2003 to 2015. I became a fully certified educator in 2005.
My passion for Clinical Pastoral Education began in the late 1980s, shortly after my graduation from Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. I have been the beneficiary of the wisdom, candor and insight of more CPE educators than I can count, from rural South Dakota to the mountains of Wyoming and Colorado, to central Ohio and now northern Illinois. I have served in small towns and large urban centers. My students have been laypersons, clergy, and seminarians, young and old.
CPE has always been, in my experience, a movement, a way of being in ministry education unlike any other. I see spiritual care and education as largely improvisational arts, relying on a depth and breadth of knowledge combined with the willingness of the practitioner to be reflective and flexible in the moment. At this point in my life and the life of our organization, I believe I have both experienced and fresh eyes, joy in the work we are about, and a desire to contribute.
I have been married to Lynnette since 1984 and we have two adult children, Christopher and Emily. Lynnette is an ordained ELCA chaplain. In our free time we explore Chicago, and love the live music scene – especially jazz. We also enjoy the outdoors, escaping to the country to hike and canoe whenever we can.
Mary Huie-Jolly
Certification Commission Member
Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2019
I enjoy facilitating CPE as formative spiritual and theological education contextualized in reflective practice, currently as a ACPE Certified Educator at the Atlanta VA Healthcare Center, where I have been an educator for one "old process" Certified Educator Candidate (CEC 2014-May 2018), for one "new process" pre-certification CEC (September 2018-present), and for the Ten-Year Accreditation process in 2017. I enlarged the Atlanta VA second-year residency (a mental health specialization fellowship) to include an optional track for pre-certification candidacy preparation, alongside the prior Level II track preparing students for APC Board Certification. I am mindful of connecting theory and practice, having served as a Theory Paper Reader for numerous "old process" CEC's, one new process CEC, and am a Theory Paper Mentor. I value the history of our movement, having served as the Chair of History for the Southeast Region from 2015-2017. I experience ACPE Educator work as ever new, and seek to empower student learning that is collegial and challenging. I earned a B.A (Honors in History) from Georgia State University in1983, an M.Div. (1986) and MTh (1987) in Systematic Theology from Columbia Theological Seminary, Decatur, GA (1986), and a PhD in Biblical Studies from the University of Otago, Dunedin New Zealand (1994.)
Earlier in life, I was a seminary lecturer exploring contextual approaches to theology first at the ecumenical Pacific Theological in Suva, Fiji (1994-1996) serving eighteen Pacific Islands, and next at the School of Ministry Knox College (the Presbyterian seminary in New Zealand) 1996-2005. After completing two years of CPE residency at the Emory Center for Pastoral Services (2005-2006), while serving as staff chaplain at Presbyterian Homes of Georgia, I entered the supervisory CPE process at the North Atlanta Center, supervised by Dale Owen. I learned from exposure to a variety of supervisory styles in the Southeast Regional Interstate network, becoming Candidate in 2009, Associate in 2012, and Certified Educator in 2014. My certification process included supervising at the UNC Healthcare at Chapel Hill, NC (summer 2012), and St. Francis Hospital, Columbus, GA (2012-2015), prior to my position as a ACPE Certified Educator at the Atlanta VA (2015 to the present.) I enjoy my family of four grown children and four grandchildren. I also have interests in personality theory, currently studying Mental Health Integration with Chaplaincy, and I relax on weekends kayaking and ballroom dancing.

Term: January 1, 2019 - December 31, 2023
I am an ACPE Certified Educator who delights in building strong relationships, facilitating transformative growth for students to become effective pastoral caregivers, and supports institutional mission. I have earned degrees from Harvard University, Cambridge, MA East Asian Studies (1983); Columbia University Law School/School of Business, New York, NY, J.D., M.B.A. (1990); and Rabbinical School of Hebrew College, Newton, MA, ordained, with M.A. in Jewish Studies (2008). My first CPE unit was in 2008 at North Shore University Hospital, Long Island, NY; followed by year-long residency at New York Methodist Hospital, Brooklyn, NY. I continued my supervisory CPE work at The HealthCare Chaplaincy, New York, NY at the Riverside Church and St. Luke's – Roosevelt Hospital Center before earning certification as an ACPE Associate Educator (2015) and ACPE Certified Educator (2017). Currently, I am an ACPE Certified Educator and Chaplain at the North Texas VA HealthCare System, Dallas TX.
I have served on the Certification Commission for 2018 and previously did training in 2017. I also served on Ethics Committee of Nassau County Bar Association between 1995-2000; created and chaired the Interfaith Committee in Bay Shore Long Island for South Shore of that community in 1998-2003; co-chair of Tikkun Community (predecessor for Network for Spiritual for NYC in 2001-2003).

I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania and a Master's of Divinity degree at Lancaster Theological Seminary, PA. I have been ordained as a United Church of Christ Minister since 1996. I completed a two year residency and a specialty year at Penn State/Geisinger Medical Center in Selinsgrove, PA and then moved to Virginia to complete Supervisory Education at the National Chaplain Education Center for the Veterans' Administration. In 2002, I moved to Broward County Florida to help grow a CPE program for VITAS Hospice-Healthcare. At VITAS, I run CPE programs for interns and supervise 36 staff chaplains. I also have served as the Accreditation Administrator for the VITAS System since 2007, on the Ethics Committee for VITAS Healthcare, and on the Ethics Committee for a hospital in Chesapeake, VA.
I have served as a National Site Team chair for the Accreditation Commission since 2006. Ethical dilemmas sometimes arise while visiting with centers, so I sought additional training in May 2017, at the ethics training seminar at the ACPE Annual Conference in Minneapolis, MN. The Ethics Commission is extremely valuable as it strives to uphold the ethical standards placed upon us as members of ACPE, and give a forum and fair process for educators and students to utilize when needed. In 2018 I was elected to serve on the Professional Ethics Commission for ACPE and have learned a great deal in one year. It would be an honor to continue serving in this manner and I welcome the opportunity to return service hours for the time and education that have been invested in me.

I consider being an ACPE Ethics Commissioner a sacred responsibility and one that I would attempt to fulfill with humility, caution, and discretion.
I came to CPE supervision as a third career, maybe a fourth if we include raising three children, as I think we should. I spent 20 years as an academic, teaching Greek, Latin and the archaeology and history of the ancient world. A little child led me back to my Jewish self and I was fortunate to be able to go to rabbinical school and be ordained as a Reform Jewish Rabbi in 2000. I spent the next 7 years directing my seminary's center for adult Jewish study until its funding ceased.
Then, following a long held desire to learn about chaplaincy, I was fortunate to be able to walk down the street from my house and train with Cathy Bickerton at Overlook Medical Center, Summit NJ. I stayed there for supervisory training and, after being certified, now work at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC as its ACPE Certified Educator. I recently led the hospital's successful effort to become an official satellite of Northshore University Hospital, Northwell Health. I'm married, mother of three grown children, and grandmother of two little girls.

I graduated from the University of Connecticut, with a Bachelor of Arts, Honors Scholar in Psychology, from the University of Pittsburgh with a Master of Social Work and the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (inactive) and became a Board Certified Chaplain with the Association for Professional Chaplains in 2011.
I participated in an ACPE Residency and in Supervisory Training in the VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System. Upon achieving Associate Supervisor status I was a staff chaplain and ACPE Supervisor with the Department of Veterans Affairs in Pittsburgh, and then in San Antonio where I served as the ACPE Certified Educator and program director. I became fully certified as an ACPE Educator just prior to joining Memorial Hermann Health System in 2014. At Memorial Hermann, I serve in a dual role: Director, Chaplaincy Services, Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital and Faculty, System Clinical Pastoral Education. At the regional level, I served on the Southwest Region Accreditation Committee (2014-15), then as Chair Elect, and finally Chair of the Leadership Council (2015-2017). In these roles I became familiar with and enjoyed working to help bring resources to assist in leadership and leadership development. I assisted the Regional Director in helping to bring closure to the region when the structure of ACPE changed. I love and believe in ACPE and want to help us to continue to grow and develop as an organization.
Before entering into chaplaincy and CPE supervision, I served on staff in several churches, was a therapist/pastoral counselor, and was a contract chaplain in a state mental hospital. I have articles published in the Journal of Religion, Disability, and Health and Reflective Practice. I am an ordained pastor, endorsed for specialized ministry with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

For the past 20 years, Atlanta has always been my great escape. I grew up outside the city in a neighboring suburb (Cobb County, home of Newt Gingrich, musician Larry Tee, and The Black Crowes) and being possessed with the spirit of Peter Pan, hooked on adventure, frequently headed for the city during my high school years. My friends and I spent hours in the then-grungy neighborhood of Little Five Points, chock-full of hackey-sackers, dreadlocks, tattoos, and "alternative" freaks, where I thought I belonged. We often ended the night with an all-ages show at the Variety Playhouse, an Atlanta theatre institution. I also attended the weekly meeting of YouthPride, which catered to LGBT high school students in Midtown, one of the few youth centers that existed around that time in North America. Of course, I still remember thrilling nights spent at the now-closed Backstreet, Atlanta's legendary, 24-hour gay club that had more foot traffic than all the gay bars combined. Backstreet was such a hotspot, it was a favorite for the "straight" community, who regularly frequented it due to a reputation for good music, fun times, and all–night partying (in fact, I ran into my brother and his gaggle of straight friends there when I was 21). Needless to say, Atlanta was always a multicultural haven, which I completely appreciated.

Okay so it is early days still but NCSoft, the guys who only really make massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPG), has announced that they are developing a new game for the PS3 that will be demonstrated later this year.
When they were asked if they where just going to port one of their current titles they answered
that's the wrong way to do it.
Chris Chung goes on to say
You have to create a gameplay that's really suitable for the console space, the console experience. I mean, it's very different from PC. I think the key is whether the development team really buys into the console. I think we have a couple of development teams that the title that they're making could be a hit in the console space as well as the PC.
Now I have never gotten into the MMORPG genre but if it lands on a console where I can sit on my couch and go on missions across the world, I could see more of an appeal to it. I could actually see the wife being totally addicted so maybe it's not the best idea after all.
PS3 News: NCSoft To Reveal PS3 Title Later This Year

We've all been there. All the money saved on a cheap weekend on the continent -- a tenner airfare, twenty quid a night hotel -- is wiped out in half an hour with one incoming call from mum on your mobile. For some reason, it's more expensive to run a £25 Nokia abroad than fly a $25m Boeing there in the first place.
The mobile phone network operators have never been able to explain this. It costs not a penny more to route data to Adelaide than it does to Acton, a principle that powers the whole Internet. Yet the networks still pretend 'long-distance' calls need gold-plated transoceanic cables and diamond-encrusted operators. To this end, they charge each other enormous amounts for accepting calls from out of country, then blame each other for having to do so.
If you fancy a laugh -- sardonic, humourless and resigned -- then check out the GSM Association's Best Roaming Prices Web site. By an amazing coincidence, most of the time all the operators in a particular country will charge exactly the same roaming rate for your operator. By an even more amazing coincidence, roaming between operators with the same name tends to cost more than the alternatives. They couldn't make it plainer if they wore white spats and carried a violin case.
European regulators have spotted this, and have been threatening to send in the G-men. In fact, they've said that they can see no reason for roaming rates at all -- calls should cost the same wherever you are and wherever you're calling. The network operators do have an answer for this: we're making so much money from roaming, they say, that if you stop us we'll have to charge everyone much more for everything.
This is real gangster logic -- what, you want me to go and mug old-age pensioners instead? But it looks as if the regulator might not call the networks' bluff: wholesale hacking of prices is out, a complex set of reductions phased in over time with no overall reform is in.
Yet if roaming rates for voice are bad -- which they are -- rates for data range from outrageous to frankly illegal. The best to date is Orange's £20 a megabyte, which prices the lengthier iTunes single at around a hundred quid. As Ed Williams, head of T-Mobile's business strategy, said when he was asked last week whether data tariffs were screwing his customers -- "Completely screw them. Yes."
Bear that in mind next time your mobile company tries to flog you music downloads, TV, video-conferencing or Web access on the move: you dare switch on outside Her Maj's Britannic Realm, and they'll be shipping your wallet back in a pine overcoat.
You can fight back. Buy a local pay as you go SIM when you get to your destination, and text the number to those few people who need to know. Use Skype from an Internet cafe: it's got voicemail now, so you don't need to be in to get a message -- and you can always set your mobile's voicemail to say "Text me if it's urgent."
And if you're with a bunch of mates and want to split up to go shopping or bar-hunting, get a set of PMR446 walkie-talkies. They're a tenner a pop these days, they're legal all over Europe, and most use ordinary mobile phone headsets so you don't look like a a bouncer, a policeman or a complete dork when you're using them. Of course, you might want to look like one of the above -- like a clipboard, a walkie-talkie gets you access to all sorts of areas -- in which case, bonus.
But don't, whatever you do, give the network operators one eurocent more than you absolutely have to. They will get dragged into the 21st century eventually -- even Al Capone got his -- but until then, don't take their call. -Rupert Goodwins

Into the cloud we go.....
Every which way you turn, the IT industry is telling you that cloud computing is the way forward. That in the future, all your data will be stored somewhere in the cloud. Somewhere out in the ether. Where? Do you care? It will be out there, and someone will look after it for you.....won't they?
I maybe wrong, but isn't low cloud also known as fog? And I think we are still stuck in fog, and there is some way to go before that fog lifts.
Software as a service is an interesting idea, and shows how clever the computer industry is. It is constantly re-inventing itself. And there is always a David attacking a Goliath. As we migrated away from IBM and DEC mainframes, a small upstart software company started to get under your skin. Microsoft went to market very well to "own" the O/S. And brilliantly moved in applications and networking, so that Office is now the de facto standard and is the main networking standard. The internet has provided the revolution to bring on the new Davids to attack the Microsoft Goliath. And the fact Google is seen by many to be the biggest challenge to the current Goliath may suggest it is Goliath v Goliath. But Google have worked their way into our life by dominating in a sector - Internet search and now want to branch out to own our applications, and our data.
But what are the thoughts about SaaS as a serious business tool. It certainly has worked in some areas. But what are the security and information assurance issues? The Data Protection Act clearly states that organisations have a duty of care to the people who have given their data to them. And if you now go and host this in the cloud, where is it held? Where are the national and international boundaries and how do you address the variances in national compliance and regulations governing the data? You cannot just export data willy nilly. And how safe is that data going to be? Who has access to it? And can that be proved? And what if the host organisation gets breached? It is your data they are losing. They are building massive big targets in the sky. And they are not immune to data loss - there are already examples of breaches....I cannot mention Salesforce.com, as it would be unfair. Yes, they are building "secure" infrastructures. But no system is 100 percent secure, even if it is buried 100ft in concrete, with no connections to it.
Recent incidents have clearly demonstrated that organisations continue to struggle with the management of their existing third party supplier relationships, and fail to ensure security conditions are included within contracts that allow third parties access to their data. Why are so many serious and publicly damaging security breaches still caused by low tech attacks and procedural failures?
Even where service providers are governed by contractual security compliance obligations, there is still an acute lack of regular due diligence and compliance auditing to verify these are maintained. Out of sight, out of mind? Passing the responsibility for protection of your data within the cloud may ease availability and operational challenges but will not protect your hard earned branding and reputation in the event of its compromise. If the host organisation is breached you will still be held accountable by association and your lack of governance minutely examined. Are you equipped with the knowledge to assess those risks? Are you authorised to accept them on behalf of your organisation? Are you prepared to protect your investment by appropriate audit and oversight of your hosting partner? As the IT industry goes full circle, creating mainframe equivalents and vast "cloud" data repositories, should those that select and manage these outsourced service solutions also return to basics before entrusting your crown jewels to others? Should we remind ourselves that "Trust alone is not a security control - it is a lack of one?".
The conundrum is that SAAS really works best for small organisations. But a small organisation is probably a smaller target than a big corporate. However by putting lots of smaller organisations' data together we create one big target and smaller organisations are less likely to recover from a serious breach.
Is SaaS going to take off - well it may do. We are being led down that path by the vendors. But then again we also have business now centralising servers to get savings through data centres and virtualisation enabling people access to systems through a corporate network with web enabled technology allowing an organisation to keep its data assets somewhere safe at the core of a network, where it can be backed up safely and access can be controlled within the organisation. Almost as if it was stored on a mainframe.......

So I really like Ashton Kutcher when he's not being goofy Ashton Kutcher, I like it when he's normal Ashton Kutcher. Amanda Peet and AK were great in this movie. They kept meeting under different circumstances something always from being a couple. It's interesting how they start in the past and work their way into the present. The soundtrack follows along with the time and very timely in the present they play Anna Nalick (who's excellent album came out this week). A lot like love is both very sweet and very cute (both the movie and Amanda). So score some points and drag your girlfriend out to the movie or get your boyfriend to take you (it's not such a chick flick that he'll spend too much time complaining about it).

From Tuesday Twosome.
I wish I hadn't gone to see this. I wish I had waited for the DVD. Why? Because if I had waited for the DVD I could replay the few scenes I had questions about over and over again. And more importantly I could see the deleted scenes; I'm certain there are at least two and they would answer my other few questions. Why? Becuase the movie takes care of all the little details and I'm sure they didn't forget these few, I figure they were editied out and I have to know the rest because I enjoyed this movie so much. BUT it's not even out on DVD yet! This was a great flick.
You need to understand two things: Chaos Theory and Time Travel (both relativly simple concepts, not).
- Time travel – If you travel into the past don't interfere with anything you may screw up the future. I.E. don't go to watch your parents meet for the first time since just being there to observe you may do something to influence the outcome. (Almost a Heisenberg/Schroding dilemma which is you will influence the outcome).
- Chaos Theory – It is said that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Chicago can create a hurricane in Peking. I.E. If you stop and buy gum on the way to watch your parents meet, it may be the last pack of gum that your mother-to-be can't buy and now when she meets your dad-to-be she has bad breath and he doesn't ask her out and you vanish in a puff of smoke.
It's a great movie, it's my favorite movie concept, time-travel, and as such it offers many what ifs. The only downside, it was kind of violent and I almost want to say it was in an unnecessary way, but I'm sure that without it, it might have changed how I viewed the movie.
I have to also say I laughed the absolute hardest I've ever laughed in a movie in my life. One scene was so ironic it hit me all the way to my funny bone. I hope I used ironic correctly (I think it's ironic that most people use the word ironic incorrectly, I hope I used it right the third time too).

Benzodiazepines, or "benzos" for short, are used to treat anxiety, agitation, insomnia, muscle spasms, seizures, alcohol withdrawal symptoms and more. On the whole, they're viewed as being generally safe, at least when used in the short term. However, they sometimes generate what are termed "paradoxical" behaviors: behaviors that seem the exact opposite of what you would expect from the drug. Examples of paradoxical behavior include aggression, a loss of inhibitions, panic or agitation that actually becomes worse instead of better. Cognitive impairments are also sometimes noted in those using benzos.
Common street names for the different benzodiazepines include:
- Roofies
- Rope
- Xannies
- Xanbars
- Blue footballs
- V's
- Howards
- Tranks
- Blue bombs
Background of the Substance...
Benzodiazepine can trace its lineage to 1955 when Leo Sternbach synthesized chlordiazepoxide (Librium) for the Hoffman-La Roche company. He was unimpressed with the pharmacological properties of the drug at the time however and shelved the project. Two years later his work was picked up by a co-worker named Earl Reeder who came across Sternbach's crystalline samples and decided to submit them for more pharmacological testing. What he discovered was that chlordiazepoxide was a strong anti-convulsant with sedative and muscle relaxant capabilities as well. Startled by these findings the company rushed the drug to market under the name Librium and it was an instant hit.
As benzodiazepines quickly gained favor barbiturates fell out of favor. By the mid-1970s, in fact, benzos had pretty much replaced barbiturates as the world's sedative of choice. Today, there are dozens of benzos on the market including:
- Alprazolam
- Chlordiazepoxide
- Diazepam
- Flurazepam
- Halazepam
- Nordazepam
- Prazepam
- Tetrazepam
At first, these new drugs were greeted by the medical community with enthusiasm but over time concerns began to arise about their addictive tendencies. In fact, the revelation of addictive qualities in benzos led to the largest class-action lawsuit in British history as thousands of patients sued over being kept in the dark about the risk of addiction.
What are the Side Effects of Benzos?
Benzos have myriad side effects including but not limited to :
- Sedation
- Weakness
- Headache
- Irritability
- Dizziness
- Confusion
- Aggression
- Depression
- Memory loss
Those who have been using this type of drug for a prolonged period may experience withdrawal symptoms upon putting it down. Those symptoms typically include agitation and insomnia among other things.
Do Employers Screen for Benzos in Urine Tests?
The typical 5-panel drug screening urine test most employers use does not screen for benzos. However, more advanced 10 and 12-panel tests do and those tests are becoming more commonplace as drug addiction becomes a larger and larger problem, and employers try to keep up.
So, How Long Are They Detectable?
Benzos such as Valium which are considered long-acting may be detectable in urine samples for 10 days to two weeks. While short-term benzos like Halcion should be clear of your system within two full days after use. In addition, if you have used something like Valium for years it will likely take several weeks for the drug to be completely clear of your system.
How Can I Pass a 10-Panel Test If I've Taken Benzos?
There are plenty of self-proclaimed experts out there who will tell you it's not only possible, it's easy to flush benzos out of your system. All you need is their miracle product. Don't buy it. The only way to insure you don't test positive for benzos is to not take benzos. The only other way to ensure a clean test is to submit urine that is not yours. However, finding a donor will be tricky and you also have to hope and pray that your donor doesn't use any drugs they haven't told you about. If you've taken benzos without informing your employer perhaps your best bet for obtaining a clean test is to use synthetic urine.
Buying Fake Pee? You're Kidding, Right?
Most people aren't aware there is such a thing as synthetic urine, or fake pee, as it's commonly called. And the drug testing companies like it that way because it means you are unlikely to purchase some to pass your next urine test. Truth be told synthetic urine was created to provide the people who built drug testing machines with pee to test them out on. It works as a testing agent to verify the efficacy of these machines and as such, it also works to fool the machine during a urine test for benzos or any other drug.
The most popular brand out there right now is Quick Fix. And, luckily for you, we've reviewed the product right here.
How It Works:
There are two types of fake pee: those that use the now discredited urea and those that use uric acid. Drug testing machines are calibrated these days to look specifically for uric acid, which is what would be expected in a genuine human pee sample. Submit a sample of synthetic urine with urea and you're in for a long afternoon of discussions with HR about your future (if any) with the company. That said, you should be mindful of the fact that synthetic urine represents the best chance of passing any drug test at any time. You should also keep the following in mind when purchasing and using fake pee:
- Make sure it has uric acid as we said - There are only a handful of machines on the market these days that still accept urea as a valid marker for a human pee sample. All the others look for uric acid.
- Make sure you heat the synthetic urine - Human pee samples are expected to be in the 90 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit range. If your sample is not, the machine is going to reject it as its a very clear sign of the pee not being a real sample.
- Make sure to use a Monkey Dong/Whizz or similar device if monitored - Some companies go to the extreme step of monitoring employees while they're giving their urine samples. If this is something your company does purchase a Monkey Dong or Monkey Whizz (life-like urination device with a discharge tube for the fake pee) so that you can submit your sample without having to worry about being outed.
Drug tests don't have to be the end of your career road. Synthetic urine may be able to help you transcend the drug testing blues and keep your job. And, if you are serious about getting out of this mess, just click the button below or on your right to get started.
