As befits an ICT event of CeBIT's reach, security is a major component of the week-long proceedings, with most of the major vendor names in this sector exhibiting in Hall 12 this year. The media briefing to address the topic of 'What is next for cyber-crime' included speakers from very different security solutions providers, including US firewall specialist Palo Alto Networks, UK super-VAD Wick Hill, and the second most well-known Russian anti-virus/spywear/spam vendor, Dr Web.
The panel's purview on the current state of the 'threat landscape' sounded largely discouraging: it foresaw no respite from cyber-criminals' ingenuity and determination to increase their swag of stolen cash and re-salable data. Phishing and extortion continue to rise, as does the exploitation of personal information harvested from social media. The breaching by the leading-edge hackers of encrypted authentication certificates debilitates one of the foundations of the trust framework that enables the use of the Web for financial transactions and trusted information exchange.
Wick Hill chairman Ian Kilpatrick opined that the security threat is enlarging "because the range of vulnerabilities grows each time a new smartphone or tablet PC is switched on for the first time". Statistics support this view, but before we get to vulnerabilities, the question of responsibilities has to be clarified. Some prickly points were raised with special regard to the effect that the proliferation of mobile devices is having on cyber-crime dynamics, such as:
- Should end-users be held solely responsibly for ensuring that their Internet-connected devices are properly secured?
- Is it responsible for the mobile device industry to sell unsecured products leaving it to end-users to make the arrangements?
- Should software companies who disseminate insecure apps and mobile operating systems abetting cyber-crime?
On the question of CIO culpability the panel was divided; some felt it was distractive to the 'real' fight against cyber-crime, others of the opinion that legal penalties remain an effective way of enforcing policy. One speaker stayed silent. Wick Hill's Ian Kilpatrick suspected that whereas CEOs - and CIOs to an extent - will forever be impervious to technological arguments for better security, they will take notice of financial penalties imposed by, for example, the UK's Information Commissioner's Office. "The ICO used to be a toothless tiger; now it has teeth and it is biting people [with fines]". That's when security becomes the kind of financial imperative the execs can understand.
But if negligent CIOs are to be sent to gaol for forgetting to browbeat beleaguered IT departments into upgrading back- and front end network security, shouldn't the same stringency be enforced at a desktop level as well: cracking down on end-users who carelessly respond to phishing attacks and/or mislay sensitive data, by making observance of security policies core to their contracts of employment?
This sort of debate runs and runs in the security sector, but there is one precedent for bring habit change in the way more rigorous health & safety regulations have been introduced and applied. Your reporter was advised during induction by a previous employer that if I spilled a drink anywhere in the building - while carrying a coffee back to my desk, say - and failed to wiped it up, and a colleague slipped on it and injured themselves, I might be personally liable for any damages that ensued. Furthermore, if I saw some spilt coffee that someone else had left, and did nothing about it, I might also be liable. I dunno whether this was just a scare tactic, but it worked. Any splosh of beverage I spotted on the stairs had me scampering for some paper towel.
That employer had IT and computer usage guidelines which I was asked to read, but never asked if I actually complied with that request; nor did it advise me of any penalties that I would face were I to misuse my company email or Web access.
Cookie rookies' directive reprieve?
25 May 2011 by James Hayes
As Buzzsore's blogmate Pelle Neroth has noted ('View from Brussels', 17 May), the new legislative proposals have sparked much debate about how users will react to being offer a new set of permissions, and the fact that many online services that depend on authentication tools have up till now developed on the basis of a reasonably laissez faire attitude toward cookie acceptance.
Although the law theoretically becomes enforceable as of 25 May, 'passion mixed with pragmatism' law firm Thomas Eggar reckons that mixed messages coming from the Information Commissioners' office mean that UK businesses lack formal guidance as to their obligations and liabilities regarding the directive. 'The huge commercial value to businesses of the information made available by cookies means that there is a large investment to be made in offering users appropriate and informed choices where the information stored could be intrusive,' it says. Meanwhile, businesses will 'take comfort' from the government's assurance that the ICO will 'not be taking enforcement action against them if they are working to address their use of cookies'.
Hackers royal nuptials abuse warning
28 April 2011 by James Hayes
A poll Imperva conducted last week among visitors to Infosecurity Europe 'reveals' that 38 per cent of security professionals have witnessed tomorrow's confetti fest being used for 'malvertising', 34 per cent have seen wedding-related spam (the email kind, rather than canned meat in the reception buffet), and 20 per cent incidents of search engine poisoning.
"We're not surprised by the results," says Imperva's rather ingenuous CTO Amichai Shulman; yet, he observes, in one of the understatements of the week, "it is worrying that criminals are systematically jumping on every opportunity to illegally make money by identifying, and utilising, revenue-generating opportunities that utilise stolen credentials or inject malware." Um, worrying... Yes...
Fines're fine, just so long as we keep on truckin'...

Philip Lieberman, CEO & president of Lieberman Software answers his own question: "You'd say aspirin, right? Because it relieves you when there is pain. But if I then try to sell you vitamins, as a preventative against future pain, you would likely decline because the aspirin is still making you feel good, even though the old pain is still there behind the palliative. You can apply the same lesson to how we think about anti-virus/anti-malware software - the 'aspirin'."
Former physicist (Michael Faraday is a hero) Leiberman is at Infosecurity Europe to launch the latest version of his firm's Enterprise Random Password Manager, which automates the credentials management process of privileged accounts in data centres. He also takes the opportunity to expound his take on 'plausible deniability', which in the information security context describes how and why many stateside enterprises - large and small - continue to spend hundreds of thousand of dollars of anti-virus and anti-malware software, rather than take a step back and ask the unpalatable question 'Do we really need to be buying this stuff?'
His view is that the information security industry now thrives to great extent on the fact that many companies would rather operate on the 'business as usual at all costs' model, than fully address the reasons why their IT systems are still vulnerable to attacks from cyber-criminals and other Web-borne malevolence.
"Plausible deniability in this scenario means that no matter how flawed a company's defensive strategy is, and how much it spends on traditional security products, when attacks keep coming, and the systems are compromised, and data is lost, they can, if challenged by a regulator, hold up their hands and say 'Not our fault. We have security systems in place. Blame them'."
Lieberman's prognosis describes a defensive landscape when revenue considerations supersede those of utmost governance, and increasing numbers of corporates opt to spent on IT security only what they need to in order to demonstrate that they have recognised a requirement and made an effort toward it. This may sound scary to the big players that dominate the AV/AM software market - Sophos, Symantec, Eset, McAfee, Kaspersky Lab, Trend Micro, et al - because it means that the market may prove less and less willing to pay a premium for innovation.
And if as a result of failing regulator compliances - like SOX and Basel II, etc. - due to poor security enterprises are fined by regulators, they will simply write-off the cost.
"In short, they prefer to pay fines rather than properly remediate the problem," Leiberman says, "because fine is a cost to daily business, whereas security re-engineering that might disrupt operations is a cost to business. It is as simple as that."
Time to get tough on insecure staff?
if it is agreed that thoughtless employees are now the cause of a significant proportion of enterprise security breaches, shouldn't they be subject to the same tough legal penalties that we expect law enforcement agencies to direct at cyber-criminals and other online do-badders? We're not necessarily talking about those staff who willfully transgress, but the kind who do stupid things like responding to phishing attacks, leave access codes and passwords openly displayed, download inappropriate content, or let their children use a work laptop to access insecure websites, etc.
Each day employees get demoted or fired for doing something that contravenes the terms and conditions of their contracts of employment, or some aspect of statutory employment law; it's a fair bet that very often these offences are, on balance, of less importance than transgressions involving IT security.
The issue of enforcing information enterprise security policies and procedures, and of taking disciplinary action against dozy staff who misread or ignore them has long been a red-hot potato inside organisations. The IT function has shied away from suggestions that it should take on the role of IT security enforcers. The HR function typically, while acknowledging the problem, shrugs and says 'We're just simple personnel shunters; what do we know about computers?'
Line managers would seem to be next next obvious candidate to apply disciplinary action against subordinates guilty of losing valuable data, or inviting viruses and malware onto the enterprise system by reckless browsing, but very few organisations have seen the sense in this; as for senior execs, forget it - according to survey after survey, they are the cause of more security incidents than anyone else.
And so, as Infosecurity Europe buzzes toward its conclusion, no viable remedial action is forthcoming, and a large contributory factor to the enterprise security burden continues unchecked.
Data theft: 'As ye stuff, so shall ye be stuffed'
20 April 2011 by James Hayes
The findings came today in a survey from esteemed security software provider Cyber-Ark in its latest 'Trust, Security, and Passwords' survey. It found that most IT staff and 'C-level executives' (are there any other kind?) surveyed would 'definitely take confidential company information when they left their organisation'.
"Organisations could find themselves with their data walking out of the door and into the hands of the competition," says Cyber-Ark European VP Adam Bosnian - assuming that these departing self-confessed data filchers would not webmail it away, rather than risk detection by having it about their person as they stroll from the workplace for the last time.
Despite the 66 per cent of respondents who admit that they would take this information, both C-level professionals (93 per cent) and IT staff (86 per cent) acknowledged that they 'have no right to these details' (87 per cent globally overall). This suggests that there remain around 10 per cent of the workforce who do claim co-ownership over the data they have worked on or are trusted with access to.
Such surveys are prone to overlooking the fact that today's mashup morals mean that many employees are inclined to take a 'proprietorial' interest in data sets they have worked on. The 'moral' relationship between employees and employers has altered radically in the last decade, to the point where self-interested staff see stealing data as 'payment in lieu' of that pay rise or promotion that never came through. 'As ye stuff, so shall ye be stuffed' is the ethic at work here.
Pandering to users: the productivity vrs complexity fallacy
19 April 2011 by James Hayes
Cisco is one of several exhibitors introducing new network control and security solutions to help the IT function address the growing number and range of mobile devices requiring access to their networks. Speaking at Infosec, Cisco's director of security sales Gordon Thomson contends that IT security products have been biased toward endpoint devices, and that security control implemented on the network itself is the way toward making the mobile enterprise secure.
The situation is exacerbated by end-users who are deamnding the right not only to use devices of their own choosing (rather than those procured by the IT crowd), but also devices of their own purchasing (when employer budgets do not extend to meeting the cost of the latest smartphones or tablet PC).
Cisco's Thomson is minded to bow to this - if enterprise networks can still be made secure, and if end-users are willing to commit to accepting full responsibility for accepting - and sticking to - security practice, and take the rap in full when they fail to.
It's all part of the "commoditisation of risk", where 100+ per cent security is not deemed as a operational absolute, and indeed, over-secured enterprise IT becomes a business inhibitor. Snag is, who is best placed to make the value judgment as to where less security is acceptable?, asks Thomson.
Another key point raised by the 'I want to use whatever endpoint device I desire' is getting end-users' agreement to a relation between device preference rights and quantified productivity. People want to use the IT tools that they prefer, because they say that it makes them more productive; but how many of them would revert to using a company bog-standard-issue dumbphone, say, if it turns out that they are in fact no more productive as a result?
Infosec and the dark arts of IT security
"Never mind, we can generate our own energy from the brilliance of our thoughts," quipped one waggish hack, although in the event the collective grey matter of the Infosec press corps proved unequal to the task of keeping the banks of PCs juiced-up. Arriving newshounds scurried off in search of working power sockets and friendly WiFi hotspots in order the file their news stories and blogs.

Hi Folks,
This is my Capitol Opitcal Warehouse Sale Review after I went down to their warehouse sale looking for an affordable pair of frame (I don't really care about brand, as long as it's an affordable titanium frame) that suits my face (I've got a wide face … most frames are too tight for me) and in a color that matches my color season (mainly copper to bronze color tone frame).
But before I get into what I bought … let's see what they have at their warehouse sale …
Eyewear and Frames Promotion
There are many eyewears on clearance with brands such as Furla, Versus and Sting plus many more at incredibly affordable price like S$88 (including basic clear lens).
If you buy more … like 2 pairs at once, you get an even better deal … just S$128 for 2 pairs (of the same range) – that's just S$64 for a branded frame with lens.
You also get 20% off if you choose to upgrade your optical lens such as my case where I chose to upgrade from clear lens to Essilor Crizal Transition lens.
Contact Lens Promotion
They also have contact lens promotion such as Bausch And Lomb Softlens promotion (pictured below).
And a general contact lens promotion where you get S$10 off for every S$100 contact lens purchased … great for other brands of contact lens not on promotion.
Sunglasses Promotion
They also have sunglasses going at a fixed price of S$88 from various brands.
My wife bought a pair but I did not (because I'm on transition already … my default eyewear functions as my sunglasses where the need arises).
So What Did I Get?
For me, I got a little better than what I had hoped for.
I ended up with a Pure Titanium Frame with a list price of S$530 selling at only S$128 with the lens thrown in (bundled lens are clear lens under 300 degrees … just top up if you need better glasses … like I did).
It was the only frame that fits comfortably with a color near bronze so I just took it (been searching for 2 months already).
I upgraded the clear lens to a Essilor Crizal Transition 1.6 … the top up was slightly less than S$200 and I ended up paying around S$322 for the frame and lens.
If you think that's expensive … it's not.
Compared to prices at optical shops … the transition lens alone would have cost more than what I've paid for the frame & lens (even after the optical shops throw in discounts).
So essentially, I got a free pair of pure titanium frame (worth S$530) when I bought the discounted transition lens!!
Not bad for a deal, Right?
(Note : We had an extra 10% discount on Day 1 & 2 … not sure if the discount will be extended on weekends)
Who Should Go For The Capitol Optical Warehouse Sale
So if you are looking to change your eyewear or stock up on your daily disposable contact lens or wanting to grab a new pair of sunglass … You should check out this warehouse sale by Capitol Optical.
They usually have it once or twice a year but the offer are not always the same.
Details of the latest sale for Capitol Optical can be found here.
Happy Hunting!

Two Movies, Two Eras, Two Schools of Thought, Same Deal
Steve Bessette, Entertainment Editor
Christopher Nolan's Inception and Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie aren't shot-for-shot twinsies, but after watching about 45 minutes of Discreet Charm I thought to myself, "Great Scott Fitzgerald, this is Inception."
Discreet Charm (1972) is another one of Buñuel's stick-it-to-the-French-rich-folk movies for which he was lauded. Inception (2010) is Christopher Nolan's magnum opus of mind-bending narratives that he is known for (Memento, The Prestige). Buñuel was a surrealist, so anything of his didn't have to be overtly advertised as inordinately trippy. His stuff was flint in the burgeoning of art cinema in the age of Dali and a nominal auteur force post-Nouvelle Vague. In Midnight in Paris, he's the guy Owen Wilson tells to make a film about a group of rich people who can't leave a dinner party and turn into animals (The Exterminating Angel, 1962). Discreet Charm, similar to Angel, is about a group of wealthy couples who keep attempting to have a dinner party, but every time they get close to sitting at the table together, something goes wrong and prevents it, prompting them to try again the next night. Eventually it becomes clear that this is a series of dreams, and when the dreams start or end is just the beginning of where the two films unite.
The big difference is that the dream spelunking in Inception is presented as technology and navigated psychologically. Discreet Charm's dreams are the bread and butter of surrealism, hyper-unrealistic vehicles for the journeys of the characters and the statements behind them. Although Inception could be taken as a blockbuster that's for the bang-bang-explosion moviegoer and also the high-concept thinker moviegoer, let's face it, it has the exoskeleton of an action flick. Discreet Charm is more of an experiential artwork, though still pretty entertaining, and because it allows us to explore more freely, we don't find people on the internet drawing up Discreet Charm dream road maps.
Here's a few of the similarities:

A community 'Kaffeehaus' in Henrico's Far West End
Born and raised in good old Europe, I am quite familiar with the traditional Austro-Hungarian tradition of the Kaffeehaus, an institution that represents a lifestyle of relaxing and thinking in a familiar environment with coffee, pastry, news, good service, marble tables, subdued sounds like the click-clack of the coffee machine, mugs and plates, conversations among patrons and with staff and a bit of low volume Johann Strauss music.
And so it was a thrill to find a modern version of a Kaffeehaus right here in Henrico County: The Daily Grind, near Short Pump Town Center. > Read more.

There used to be an expression that flew around in the early days of the internet, especially when it came to file sharing: "information wants to be free." This is, of course, a stupid thing to say for many reasons, not least of which that it's a personification; information doesn't "want" anything. It is not sentient. It simply exists.
What those people really meant is that information should be more accessible, more transparent, and more affordable. After years of being charged $20 or more for ten songs or a movie on a plastic disc, people have embraced the opportunity to download a copy (even if it is not a top-quality one) for nearly nothing. Not surprisingly, those who own the content have fought this tooth and nail, be it the record industry, film studios, publishers; and now we find ourselves in a middle ground where we can obtain much of the entertainment we want sort-of-illegally for free (I use the qualifier because file sharing is legal in some countries, decriminalized in others, illegal in still others); or we can sort-of-buy it legally for a dollar or two (again, I qualify because we don't so much buy the content as license it, trusting that it will be there in the cloud for us when we want it).
I used to pay about $70 for high speed internet service and another $50 or so for basic cable. Had I sprung for digital cable with movie channels and such, it would have been more like $100. Here in Canada, the television media are controlled by a few large companies regulated by a body called the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission, or CRTC. The CRTC is supposed to regulate these businesses on behalf of the Canadian public, but more often they seem to make decisions that benefit the protectionist interests of those companies, who depend on the income generated by providing Canadian clones of popular American or British series and channels.
There are those who would argue that this system feeds a lot of money into the Canadian entertainment industry, helping to keep all those struggling actors and film crews working, and I'm sure that is true. It is a license condition of those copycat channels that a certain percentage of their programming be Canadian in origin. I don't want a single precious hair on any single precious Canadian artist's head to be curled by what I'm about to say.
You see, it occurs to me now that while information may not want to be free, it may very well want to be region-free. It is completely idiotic, for example, that you can buy a DVD in Australia and not be able to play it in America. It makes sense that DVDs may have different formats that reflect the video standards of their home nations – NTSC vs. PAL and what have you. But if you want to import a cool new kung fu movie from Japan, it probably won't play on your Canadian system. And why not? Not for any technological reason, but because some giant Canadian company hasn't licensed the content to sell it to us yet.
It is the 21st century. Why are we allowing Rogers, Bell, or Shaw to take a cut of something that they did not make themselves? Why do they get to slap together packages and bundles that ensure a cable subscriber will have dozens of channels they do not want for the sake of getting the few that they do?
This is pretty much why so many of us are "cutting the cord"; cancelling cable entirely and downloading torrents or streaming video through the websites of those copycat networks. But, if some of my friends and I are any indication, the torrenting free-for-all is slowly migrating to content services like Netflix, which- gasp- recommends programs based on what you like, rather than whatever bundles the network wants you to take. Netflix has even started to acquire the rights to new original programming, most famously the cult favourite Arrested Development.
In the ongoing search for more options, some of us have gone a step further and subscribed to a VPN service that allows us to circumvent regional restrictions; which is a fancy way of saying that for $5 a month, I can watch the American version of Netflix instead of the Canadian. And yes, the American one has a lot more options. Do I care that some big corporation that holds the American license for a program is getting a few cents that some other big corporation that holds the Canadian license is not? No. I truly do not give a shit. Netflix is still getting $8 a month from me, and they are able to report and track what I am watching to the people that make the royalties.
This has taken on a new dimension with the recent addition of an Apple TV to my setup, because once the Apple TV has been configured with that same VPN service, hey presto! An app for Hulu Plus appears on the menu. Hulu Plus is sort of like Netflix, except it's only available in the US and concentrates more on TV, including shows that are currently running. It is also ad-supported. Since it is US-only, it is a little trickier for a Canadian to sign up for it, but it does seem to work (for now anyway) and for another $8 a month, I now have access to new shows from NBC, ABC and Fox, as well as a lot of other smaller networks; plus an assortment of movies, most notably the Criterion Collection, which would be worth the price of admission alone.
So, $8 for Netflix, plus $5 for the VPN, plus $8 for Hulu Plus, and whatever portion of the internet bill I would be paying equals a new kind of cable- digital and tailored to my preferences and devices – for less than the cost of basic cable from a giant Canadian corporation. And since I am paying for those services, the creative folks should be getting royalties somewhere – more than they were getting when I was only torrenting, anyway.
Do you see what is happening, CRTC? Rogers, Bell, and Shaw? You are obsolete. Concentrate on what we now need in this country: reliable high speed internet and related services at a reasonable price. Stop trying to be movie moguls; you suck at it.

Labor day is a welcome, and well-deserved, day off for millions of Americans. But it's worth remembering that Labor day is more than just a three-day weekend. Labor Day "is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers."
Here are four important accomplishments of the labor movement that benefit all Americans:
1. Unions Gave Us The Weekend: Even the ultra-conservative Mises Institute notes that the relatively labor-free 1870, the average workweek for most Americans was 61 hours — almost double what most Americans work now. Yet in the late nineteenth century and the twentieth century, labor unions engaged in massive strikes in order to demand shorter workweeks so that Americans could be home with their loved ones instead of constantly toiling for their employers with no leisure time. By 1937, these labor actions created enough political momentum to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act, which helped create a federal framework for a shorter workweek that included room for leisure time.
2. Unions Helped End Child Labor: "Union organizing and child labor reform were often intertwined" in U.S. history, with organizations like the "National Consumers' League" and the "National Child Labor Committee" working together in the early 20th century to ban child labor. The very first American Federation of Labor (AFL) national convention passed "a resolution calling on states to ban children under 14 from all gainful employment" in 1881, and soon after states across the country adopted similar recommendations, leading up to the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act which regulated child labor on the federal level for the first time.
3. Unions Won Widespread Employer-Based Health Coverage: "The rise of unions in the 1930′s and 1940′s led to the first great expansion of health care" for all Americans, as labor unions banded workers together to negotiate for health coverage plans from employers. In 1942, "the US set up a National War Labor Board. It had the power to set a cap on all wage increases. But it let employers circumvent the cap by offering 'fringe benefits' – notably, health insurance." By 1950, "half of all companies with fewer than 250 workers and two-thirds of all companies with more than 250 workers offered health insurance of one kind or another."
4. Unions Spearheaded The Fight For The Family And Medical Leave Act: Labor unions like the AFL-CIO federation led the fight for this 1993 law, which "requires state agencies and private employers with more than 50 employees to provide up to 12 weeks of job-protected unpaid leave annually for workers to care for a newborn, newly adopted child, seriously ill family member or for the worker's own illness."
Meanwhile, as union membership as declined since 1970, the income of the middle class has plummeted.

Oh my God, what is Woody doing to him?!
Anyhow...so... Meet Martin. Our friend Kenny brought him in to the studios to see if he could predict the outcome of the Titans/Texans game. And maybe someone who sees Martin will want to make him a part of their home.
Martin is a sweet, always happy boy who is 2 years old. He's never had a home. He has always lived in a shelter. Nashville Humane Association rescued him from a kill shelter. Will you be his first home?

Factors to think about when buying hearing aids
Word Count:
Information on buying hearing aids.
hearing aids, hearing aid, digital, buying
Article Body:
There are many factors to contemplate when buying hearing aids. Below is a listing of 7 factors to think about:
Severity of hearing loss
It's one of the vital important factors to contemplate is the character and severity of your hearing loss. Your hearing professional may also help understand your unique loss characteristics, and explain the models that could best fit your needs. This is able to involve undertaking a couple of hearing test to establish the level of the hearing loss and foremost product.
It is very important think of you lifestyle and when the hearing aid is to be worn. What are the belongings you do this are most influenced by hearing loss? Does you hearing prevent you from undertaking certain tasks or activities? Does you lack of hearing effect your job? Discuss your needs with the hearing expert who can recommend products which fit your lifestyle
The standard of the sound is probably the foremost consideration. With advancements of digital hearing aids the standard of the sound can often be fined tuned to fit your needs. Again the hearing expert might be ready to facilitate your assess the extent of class you'd like according to quite a number issues.
Hearing aids at the moment are often very small and discreet. However, in the event that your eyesight or dexterity is not up to what they was, size may indeed matter. As a vey small hearing aid can be to fiddly to manage. Alternatively, some new instruments adjust automatically or via handheld remote control.
Hearing aids now are available more than a few sizes, from tiny, completely-in-the-canal models to people who sit behind the ear. A lot of people are overly desirous about appearance, and its wise to keep in mind that others would be far less familiar with your aid than you. Most hearing aids are quite discreet. Consider the functionality and improvement in hearing, in place of just appearance.
The ear
The scale and shape of your outer ear and ear canal may additionally influence your choice of a hearing aid. For instance, in the event that your canal is very narrow, in-the-canal aids might not be just right for you. Your hearing professional may help determine which hearing aid options are appropriate for you.
One ear or two ears?
Two ears are better than one, since binaural, or two-ear hearing, is what helps us determine where sounds are coming from, and to differentiate between competing sounds more easily. When you have a hearing loss in just one ear, you'll be fine with one hearing aid. Age- and noise-related hearing loss are likely to affect both ears, but your hearing profile for every ear is maybe different. If there's a loss in both ears, then you definitely will benefit more with a binaural approach. As well, many of the benefits of digital technology require two hearing aids.
Today, about two-thirds of recent purchasers pick dual hearing aids, and as a bunch, they report a more robust level of satisfaction than purchasers of a single aid. Discuss the professionals and cons together with your hearing professional.

OXFORD — Ole Miss received awful news Monday, with injuries keeping two key players out for extended periods of time.
Safety Charles Sawyer will miss four-to-six weeks with a torn quad, coach Hugh Freeze said. That timeline could keep him out of at least one or two nonconference games, even up to the Sept. 15 matchup with Texas.
Wide receiver Collins Moore had even worse news. The sophomore has a torn labrum that will require surgery and could keep him out for the year. Freeze is hopeful that he can come back at some point, and they do have time (redshirt decisions don't have to be until after week 3) to see how Moore progresses.
What does this mean in the short term? Instead of Sawyer, the team's leading defensive player and an emerging team leader as a junior, the Rebels will turn to freshmen Trae Elston and Quintavious Burdette.
"We're very excited about Quintavius and (Trae) Elston," Freeze said. "They're going to have to play. I think they're going to be good ones. How good they'll be as true freshmen, I don't know. But I love them both."
Moore caught four passes last season, but had emerged as a big (6-foot-1, 187 pounds) option as a slot receiver, and was expected to have a major impact this season. Without him, Philander Moore, Korvic Neat and Tobias Singleton will be asked to do more.
Other notes:
- As alluded to above, Elston and Burdette saw the snaps at one safety spot with Sawyer sidelined. We're seeing Cody Prewitt make a move up the depth chart at the other safety spot.
- Barry Brunetti had a good day, especially early. He found Neat for a long touchdown, and broke off several long runs when plays broke down.
- I'Tavius Mathers continues to just run with an ease about him, and he doesn't stop on first contact. Will be interesting to see how he handles full-contact practice tomorrow, when the team puts on full pads for the first time.
- Freeze mentioned the need to find tight ends who can catch the ball.
- Mike Marry is making some athletic plays that you really didn't see him make a year ago. Look at it as a sign of the weight loss and being in better shape overall.
- Like I wrote earlier, Jeremy Liggins was at practice today. Don't know why, or what that means. The former Lafayette QB obviously signed with LSU, but did not qualify academically. He signed with Mississippi Gulf Coast, and was there for at least a month working out.

bathroom tile
In between me painting the basement stairs....we're getting ready to start putting the bathroom back together. Hubby is done fitting the shower with Hardiebacker so that I can hopefully start tiling some time next week. There's still a few preparations we need to do before that can happen....like pouring the cement floor in the shower, sealing all the joints of were the Hardiebacker board meets and getting the shower seat ready for tile too.
The photo above shows what tiles we'll be using. The whole shower and seat will be done in white subway tile....and the floor of the shower will be done in the grey and white pebbles.
We were originally going to use 2x2 inch white carrera marble for the floor....but decided to go with something a little bit different...but in keeping with the same color scheme....and this is what we came up with.
Oh...and see the wood floor underneath the tiles....that's actually our porch floor....but that's a hint at what kind of flooring we'll be installing in the bathroom.
So there's my little bathroom update.
More to come soon....
17 comments:
Hello! Very nice tile choices, and the pebble floor will add lots of character. I just posted our ugly bath photo's - it actually was gutted yesterday. More to come, but it's fun to see what you are doing especially since we are on that same path. I'll share our tile choices soon. Have a great day!

The World's Greatest Spy Capers
And you thought the Dubai assassination was bad-ass.
The dank mists of the Cold War swirled back in June 2010 as the U.S. Justice Department announced it had arrested 11 members of an alleged Russian spy ring. Unlike information thieves of the great espionage novels, though, this group appears to have lived comically pedestrian lives—as suburban parents, college professors, and business entrepreneurs like Anna Chapman, pictured here. Prosecutors still have not pointed to any classified information uncovered by the so-called spies that they couldn't already Google. One commentator even called it the "lamest espionage conspiracy … ever."
Still, it got NEWSWEEK all nostalgic for the glory days of the CIA and KGB, when every covert rendezvous in a faraway capital might be blown up by an exploding cigar. Even then, some of the cleverest, sneakiest, and strangest operations were undone—by small mistakes, good counterintelligence, or dumb luck. To put the current caper in context, here are some of our favorite real-life episodes of espionage (the ones we know about, anyway).

The lead plaintiff in the Defense of Marriage Act case before the U.S. Supreme Court is an 83-year-old lesbian named Edith Windsor. She sued the federal government after she was forced to pay additional estate taxes because it did not recognize her marriage to a woman, Thea Spyer. Windsor and Spyer met in 1962, got engaged soon after, but did not marry until 2007, near the end of Spyer's life. Their life story was captured in the award-winning...Mar 28, 2013 | Story
As the U.S. Supreme Court heard two major cases this week on marriage equality, we look at how the issue has divided some in the LGBT movement. Longtime activist and blogger Scot Nakagawa wrote a popular essay this week called "Why I Support Same Sex Marriage as a Civil Right, But Not as a Strategy to Achieve Structural Change." The article drew so much traffic that it crashed his server, twice. We speak to Nakagawa and Marc Solomon,...Mar 28, 2013 | Story
For the second day in a row, the U.S. Supreme Court is confronting the issue of same-sex marriage, hearing arguments today on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, that denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. On Tuesday, the justices considered the legality of California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage. Representing two couples challenging the ban, attorney Ted Olson condemned Proposition...Mar 27, 2013 | Story
Stuart Gaffney and John Lewis have been deeply involved in the struggle to legalize same-sex marriage. They were two of the plaintiffs in the historic 2008 lawsuit that held California's ban on same-sex marriage violated the state constitution. They have been together for 26 years and married in 2008 before Prop 8 passed. Both work at Marriage Equality USA: Gaffney is the media director, and Lewis is the legal director. In addition, Gaffney...Mar 27, 2013 | Story
Widower of First Openly Gay Congressman Fights DOMA for Denying Benefits to Married Same-Sex Couples
The U.S. Supreme Court continues its session on the issue of same-sex marriage, hearing arguments today on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act. DOMA was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and denies federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples. We are joined by Dean Hara, a plaintiff in another lawsuit against DOMA. He is the widower of U.S. Rep. Gerry Studds, the first openly gay member of Congress. Hara...Mar 27, 2013 | Story -
President Obama has signed into law historic new protections for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault with the expanded reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Initially passed in 1994, the bill lapsed in 2011 after Republicans blocked it over the new protections. The measure was approved after House Republicans finally allowed a vote last week. It includes a landmark addition that empower Native American tribal authorities...Mar 08, 2013 | Story
In an historic announcement, President Obama has become the first U.S. president to support same-sex marriage. We get reaction from acclaimed playwright and activist Tony Kushner. In 2003, he and his partner became the first same-sex couple to appear in the Vows section of the New York Times. "I felt the earth move," Kushner says. "It's one of those moments where you feel a corner being rounded and the actual change, or the...May 10, 2012 | Story
North Carolina voters have turned out in large numbers to pass a constitutional amendment that defines marriage as solely between a man and a woman. While North Carolina law already bans same-sex marriage, the amendment means civil unions and potentially other types of domestic partnerships will no longer be recognized legally by the state. Some lawyers say the measure is vaguely worded and could impact the state's 150,000 straight couples...May 09, 2012 | Story
