Hands-On Training in a Breakthrough Healing Technique
Does hands-on healing work, and can it be taught? Like many scientists, Dr. William Bengston would once have dismissed this phenomenon as an example of the power of suggestion. But after 35 years of extraordinary research, Dr. Bengston has demonstrated time and again that hands-on healing works—even on some conditions that have no conventional treatment. With Hands-On Healing, he brings you an in-depth training course in the method that produces reliable results in the laboratory—and can trigger profound transformation and healing for those who learn it.
Image Cycling—The Key to Hands-On Healing
At the core of Dr. Bengston's hands-on healing method is a unique process he calls "image cycling." Requiring no preconceptions, beliefs, or inherent psychic gifts, this learnable skill circumvents our conscious limitations in order to access a deeper source of healing intelligence that we all possess. With detailed instruction, competency-building exercises, and playful strategies for getting your own ego out of the way, Dr. Bengston guides you through each step toward mastery of this powerful technique.
Learn Potent Tools to Spark Your Healing Potential
Skeptical scientists and energy practitioners alike have been astonished by the consistent, measurable success of Dr. Bengston's healing method. Yet even after decades of study, Dr. Bengston theorizes that we have only glimpsed a tiny fraction of our potential. With the program Hands-On Healing, he invites you learn a powerful technique to ignite your own abilities—and to join him in an ever-expanding experiment to chart our untapped capacity for healing.

Says the same thing over and over. A waste of time and money. Between all the bs you have to listen closely for the technique then he goes of course and rants on. Would just tell the technique.

It is inconvenient to listen to because I am unable to download it to my IPod. I can only play it in iTunes for some strange reason.

Excellent program. I've done many programs, and was surprised to learn something that for me was very new and incredibly valuable. The cycling technique takes the brain to a unique state that cannot readily be achieved by mediation. I've already started using this healing method, and things I put on my "list" are already manifesting.

It would be premature for me to rate the Hands on Healing at this time. It's not a quick course. I am, however, intrigued with the content and the teacher's approach so far. And I have always been happy with Sounds True and their service. This is a "To Date" rating.

Downloaded the audio about 3 weeks ago. I picked real pictures, put them in a software and view them rapidly (almost subliminal viewing). First day, I did that the whole day (maybe six hrs). Observed visual acuity, heat in left hand, muscular contractions in the belly area (one of my goals was to have a thinner waist). The next day I had kind of a headache. So, I reduced practice to 10-15 mins every other day. Pain in arm left, but it has come back. Do not know yet how to do rapid imaging without the software. I love the images I picked; they make me happy. I experience a surge in energy, motivation, happiness, which I assume is related to the technique. It is interesting enough to continue.

This is the most compelling product that I think I have ever bought. The story of the healing Dr Bengston does is fascinating in itself but the instructions are excellent. This is not at all a quick and easy technique to learn and I do not think I could have managed using just his book. I'm beginning to get what seem to be real results after a month of doing the homework and I am VERY glad I bought it.

I can't believe the negative reviews for this set. Thankfully I never listen to negative reviews unless they're articulate, which these weren't. The one didn't even listen to it. Come on.
Now onto the good news. This is a very interesting set, especially for the hard headed like myself who's belief is strengthened through the science of the unexplainable.
It spends lots of time on the science then even more time on the practical how-to's. It teaches more how to do it on others than on yourself because of the fact that we get in our own way when we do it on ourselves. However it still works on yourself. I've tried it and it seems to work just fine. His cycling gets you out of the way just fine.
All in all this is great work that shows scientifically that simple touch healing heals cancer and all kinds of other things.
The technique (that he makes seem hard) is actually easier to get than he says.
I recommend this set. I also suggest you ignore bad reviews that aren't based on any reasoning or fact.

- Review for Hands-On Healing Review by Said Osio
The premise of this audio course is built upon one fundamental issue, an issue that has deep ramifications for the healing community! Does hands-on healing work and can it be taught?
Be skeptical because its proponent and its healer Bengston are as well.This already separates it from any course I've heard of. What you have in this training course is a lifelong interest by scientists who has a quest for knowledge and sets out using evidence-based research skills to validate his discoveries in hands-on-healing and then some. If you haven't already read Bengston's complementary book Energy Healing as an introduction to this work or listened to one of the podcasts offered through his website (www.bengstonresearch.com) or SoundsTrue (http://www.soundstrue.com/) I suggest you do so.The reason is simple, Hands-On-Healing is an investment into time and is a path requiring commitment and altering thinking regarding how healing works. Find out why and read on!
What makes Hands-On-Healing remarkable is its unorthodox manner of radically shifting concepts that we generally find in the current healing community. In fact in these materials there is a discussion regarding one form of hands-on healing Reiki where Bengston contrasts his energy healing to that of the work of Reiki and its approach. He goes on to respectfully compare both allowing his skepticism to play into the energy of his Hand-On-Healing and contrasting it to how it plays out in the Reiki work. In fact he even goes as far as to play down hands-on-healing nor gets caught in over intellectualizing and posturing or word-smithing by acknowledging he doesn't know much of what is behind the results of healing and simply states "it's a kind of energy"! Ritual in the form of formalizing behavior or symbols of healing gets the same bad marks from Bengston and he is bent on deconstructing how the establishment holds to beliefs regarding how healing works. Impishly, he takes it one step further and invites us to play at healing or manifesting objects of desire, to engage honestly and not take oneself too serious! He has empowered himself in his radical skepticism by knowing his healing works, not how it works, but works just the same and has a large body of evidence-based supportive research to back it up - No argument here!
The skeptic with a capital S
Bengston's refrain on where this healing comes from is "I don't know" and therefore he becomes the embodied skeptic and his mantra is: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know leaving me asking what do I believe and wrestling with my own interpretations of what is known and unknown regarding energy healing or for that matter any healing. I found this koan like effect disconcerting, most likely because I need to know and the conflict of uncertainty although perplexing is challenging and healthy. His "I don't know" stance surprisingly offers a degree of integrity in the fact that it doesn't pretend to offer a panacea, it isn't teaching knowing hands-on-healing but working at a rigorous process to reform reactive thinking. This ground breaking of beliefs moves us into new ground plus new visual landscapes. At the end of the series of trainings we are given a number of instructions which if one is to accept them then one is to accept the fact that there are things that we take as gospel and here Bengston abandons his mantra of "I don't know why " and his modified skepticism is as a vapor trail simply asking that we believe, regarding issues of ethical behaviors. Bengston offers a clear cardinal rule - in order to successfully do this work with integrity YOU MUST ASK for permission to heal from the recipient, ASK for permission to touch. We are also advised on issues of integrity regarding transmission of where healing energy comes from, the identification of calling ourselves healers, and the virtues of being part of a healing energy. These are beliefs so Bengston the skeptic is grounded in integrity but based on what beliefs? It's my turn, I don't know. As I said, Hands-On-Healing is challenging and sometimes paradoxical which keeps us all in the wonderful mystery that healing invites us into.
Cycling, revolutionary
The radical premise that is the cornerstone of Hands-On Healing is that it attempts to reformulate brain mind activity through a method called cycling. To be objective, know that I did not attempt to master this technique. I simply am interested in this material from the standpoint of making it available and reporting on Bengston's work around awakening consciousness for the purpose of healing. What I can say from an objective point of view regarding cycling is that any practice that requires mind altering shifts in re-patterning thinking or reframing visualizations rarely are successful unless one is totally committed to the outcome, not the outcome of healing per se but the outcome of mastering the process. Here hands-on healing is singularly a process driven methodology. Its foundation of cycling structurally is a mental construct of a higher form of undetermined energy, a consciousness of undetermined source as compared to an assumption that most other healing modalities are integrated / grounded with spirit mind body. Because Bengston favors what he calls suspended beliefs system he doesn't prejudice his approach by defining what in fact the "it" is in energy healing - it doesn't concern him as a scientist. What concerns him is the fact that the results are measurable, that the techniques are replicable and that the techniques work and most importantly HEALING OCCURS and the process teachable and learnable. I won't downplay Bengston's idea of works. We learn that he is talking about healings working across fields of space and time, be it one mile or thousands, it matters not , does work and is supported statistically (Remote viewing and distant healing aren't new but this is taking it to a new level that supports field theory). Another aspect of the radical process is his preference for creating an ambience for healing that I personally find very nontraditional. Here he favors listening to Led Zeppelin versus some soft ambient music while performing a healing. If you can accept this premise (I'm still out on that one) then you are a great candidate for his other radical challenges regarding hands-on healing.
Is There a relevance here in being challenged in our everyday point of view regarding healing and energy. Can and should it be extended to states of wellness and wholeness. If taken seriously and worked at I believe (sorry Bengston the skeptic) that we can grow and expand our consciousness and for that I thank Bengston as well as for his courage in bringing forth his teachings. Clearly his approach is not for everyone, as no technique is, not in energy healing or any other form of hands on healing. Bengston knows better than anyone that he needs to walk a fine line on bringing forth this material and has adapted a playful elegance. In his own words he offers up the position of still being the student requesting that those interested in this work just try it, play with it and let him know. I think that's honorable and let me know what you think as well.
Finally! what's this got to do with guided imagery anyway?
Simply, at the core of this cycling revolutionary instruction is having and holding images that stem from one's own desire for wanting and clarifying that wanting so one can hold impressions that are personal and relevant versus scripted and prescribed.These then are tools for deconstructing obstructions allowing for flow to activate healing. I find that compelling and understand its value and potential power. As has been said many times in my guided imagery collective web site - the entire premise for the guided imagery collective is to explore advancements in the field of guided imagery and healing and this clearly is an advancement into guided imagery. It opens a new window into the healing space, opens my consciousness to reframe how I see and feel and heal! Good cycling and thanks Sounds True !

When I first looked at the reviews on this course before buying it, there were only three. The first two were negative and I almost didn't purchase the course based on those two reviews. What a mistake that would have been!
I have now worked my way slowly, with lots of practice, to the end of the course and I found that the technique is a "fit" for me. I'm glad to have it and am looking forward to trying it out on people after I practice on my dog for a bit.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I don't yet know if the technique will work in my hands.

This is important work. To understand the context for what Bengstron is teaching I think the listener will benefit from first reading his book "chasing the cure". This "technique" stretches the model of western medicine AND also reverses much accepted "new age" philosophy on hands on healing. This program is based on years of experience in healing and teaching healing and is an approach that I've not come across in 20 years in the field. At last - something new and different.

Electric motorcycle manufacturer Brammo made a huge step in it's mission of luring the non-motorcycle owning public from the comfort of their cages and onto two wheels. While Jenny Gun and most of the motorcycle press were in Milan documenting the new model intros at EICMA Brammo dropped the price of the $11,995 Enertia electric motorcycle to $7995. A move that stole some of the spotlight from ground breaking internal combustion machines like the Ducati Multistrada 1200.
If a $7995 price tag has you thinking about going electric sit tight, you will pay less. A 10% Federal income tax credit brings the price to $7195 and some states such as Oregon will see additional tax credits bring the price down to $5,695. If that is not a clincher, Best Buy is offereing 0% financing for 24 months with $2000 down at $250 per month. When you consider a charge costs 30 cents, there are no oil changes, no valve adjustments, no burns your girlfriends legs (read: Your paying my deductible!), etc, last weeks cool but very expensive electric motorcycle is now looking like an affordable commuter and city bike. Is the price a desperate attempt to sell electric motorcycles to people who don't want them? No, it is an ambitious plan 2 years in the making finally taking shape.
The price drop comes after Brammo sold it's 100th Enertia. Not bad considering they are currently for sale in only 5 Best Buy stores and on brammo.com. Bramscher chooses to pass saving on to the customer as technological advances bring down cost. He explains it is the same way the consumer electronics market works. The Oregon based manufacturing plant has capacity to produce 10,000 units monthly but there was no word on where that volume will take the price. There are however rumors that the price drop is moving bikes.
So what is next in Brammo's mission to champion the cause for electric motorcycles and wow the consumer? Bramscher mentioned an iPhone app is on the way that will help users understand the benefits of the Enertia and possibly build a community around Brammo owners. Brammo had a 2 bike presence at the Isle Of Man TT last year and finished 3rd place. A great finish but I am sure they would love to see first place in 2010 in the US based TTXGP, UK based TTXGP and the Isle of Man TTXGP. Also, keep you eye out for the soon to be released Brammo Anti-scooter.
It's very likely Brammo has other tricks up it's sleeve. Brammo has yet to succeed in shocking Barack but did a great job of shocking the motorcycle industry. The question on everyone's mind now is, will Zero, Quantya, Electric Motorsport and others reciprocate with a price drop?
Be sure to read Tradition Is Not A Business Model: Brammo for more information on Brammo. The comments by A&R readers also provide great arguments against Brammo's plans so be sure to have a look.
Full press release follows:
Brammo Introduces New Price For The Enertia Plug-In Electric Motorcycle, Now $7,995
The 33% savings is a direct result of engineering advances
Ashland, Oregon – November 10, 2009 – BRAMMO, maker of plug-in electric motorcycles, announced today it is dropping the price of the all-electric BRAMMO Enertia powercycle, to $7,995. Customers are also eligible for a 10% federal income tax credit, further reducing the price to $7,195.
"While this pricing breakthrough is innovative in transportation, it is in line with consumer electronics, where engineering and production advances get passed on to customers as quickly as possible to stimulate adoption of the technology," stated Craig Bramscher, founder and CEO of Brammo. "The Enertia is consumer electronics that you can ride and BRAMMO's engineers are able to deliver a better value proposition to customers sooner than a traditional transportation company."
Today, qualified customers can walk into select Best Buy stores and with a $2,000 down payment, ride out on an Enertia for $249 a month with 24-month no interest with payments financing offered through Best Buy. The Enertia can also be purchased direct from www.BRAMMO.com in select states where the product is not yet available at a Best Buy.
The BRAMMO Enertia powercycle is the ideal commuter vehicle as it blends an exhilarating ride experience with environmental consciousness and low operating costs. The Enertia has a top speed of over 60 mph, has a range of 42 miles and charges in about four hours by plugging into a standard wall outlet-all while using less than a dollar in electricity per 100 miles ridden.
"With this price reduction Brammo has positioned electric vehicles for the mass market and consumers can now be part of a solution to the transportation crises that America is facing," said Bramscher. "The wait is over, consumers can now buy an EV that is price competitive with a gas burning alternative and enjoy reduced maintenance and substantially lower ownership costs."

Excerpted from The Instant Coin Collector by Arlyn G. Sieber, available from http://www.ShopNumisMaster.com. The Story Behind The Coins A variety of coinage proposals for the nation's Bicentennial emerged in the years leading up to the celebration. Among them were proposals for special commemorative coins (the U.S. Mint had not issued commemorative coins since 1954), redesigning all six circulating coins, issuing a 2-cent coin with a Bicentennial design and issuing a gold commemorative coin. The Mint and Treasury Department initially resisted any changes to circulating coin designs and the issuance of commemorative coins, but they eased their opposition as the various proposals were winnowed to a final bill that was signed into law Oct. 18, 1973, by President Richard M. Nixon. That bill called for quarters, half dollars and dollar coins struck after July 4, 1975, to bear new reverse designs emblematic of the nation's Bicentennial. The law also called for the coins to bear the dual date "1776-1976."
The Instant Coin Collector The one guide you need to get started in collecting coins quickly and easily! Get your copy today!
The law further authorized the Mint to strike the Bicentennial coins in a 40 percent silver composition (rather than the copper-nickel clad composition of the circulation strikes) for inclusion in three-coin mint and proof sets for sale directly to collectors. The San Francisco Mint struck these special coins, which bear an "S" mintmark. The San Francisco Mint also produced proof versions of all three coins in the circulating clad composition for inclusion in regular annual proof sets. To select designs for the Bicentennial coins, the Mint sponsored a contest open to all U.S. citizens. The winners were announced in March 1974: – A Revolutionary-era drummer-boy design, submitted by Jack L. Ahr of Arlington Heights, Ill., was selected for the quarter. – A depiction of Independence Hall, submitted by Seth G. Huntington of Minneapolis, Minn., was selected for the half dollar. – A depiction of the Liberty Bell superimposed over the moon, submitted by Dennis R. Williams of Columbus, Ohio, was selected for the dollar. The moon was symbolic of the nation's lunar landings and exploration. The Bicentennial coinage law gave the Treasury Secretary the authority to determine how long the special reverse designs would be used. In September 1976, the Mint announced that Treasury Secretary William E. Simon had ordered the Mint to revert back to the old reverse designs with the beginning of 1977-dated coinage. Where to Get Them Bicentennial quarters still turn up occasionally in circulation, but not as often as they once did. A careful watch on pocket change should eventually produce an example. The presence of older coins in higher numbers may indicate that more people are putting aside the Bicentennial quarters as they encounter them in circulation. Also, more people are paying closer attention to the quarters in their pocket change thanks to the State quarter and National Park quarter programs. Although the Mint still strikes half dollars for circulation, few of the big, bulky coins are actually used. Thus, rolls may be the best bet for acquiring Bicentennial half dollars from circulation. Even bigger and bulkier are the Eisenhower dollars with the Bicentennial reverse designs. The Eisenhower dollar was struck from 1971 to 1978. It was replaced by the smaller Anthony dollar in 1979. That makes the Eisenhower dollar an obsolete design in a coin denomination that has never been popular among the public. A collector may be able to find a bank here and there that still has some. A better bet, however, is a local coin shop or show. Nice examples in uncirculated grades should be available at either for just a few dollars each. They also give new collectors a low-cost introduction to buying coins over the counter. Local shops and shows are also good sources for nice examples of the Bicentennial quarters and half dollars. Examples plucked from circulation will be well worn; a little extra money spent on purchased examples will produce a much nicer set. Expect to find the 40-percent-silver proof and mint sets at shops and shows, too.

The 52-year-old Goodell took over for Paul Tagliabue in 2006. His original five-year contract was extended in 2009, and the new extension runs through March 2019.
He was rewarded by the 32 clubs after one of the league's most successful seasons, even though it was preceded by a 4 1-2 month lockout that led to a new 10-year collective bargaining agreement. Goodell made about $10 million, including bonuses, in his previous deal; during the lockout, he had a $1 salary.
No terms were disclosed for the new contract.
"It is the only place I have ever wanted to work," Goodell said after the league's compensation committee approved the extension. "I am grateful for the contributions and counsel of NFL owners in managing our league, the talented staff that supports us, and the players and coaches that perform their magic on the field. It is truly a team effort.
"I am eagerly looking ahead to the challenge of building on our momentum and doing all we can to improve our game for the fans and everyone that is part of our league."
Goodell has made player safety and discipline his main focal points, and the league has ramped up fines and even suspensions for illegal hits. He also has been criticized for how the league dealt with retired players and with post-career health issues such as brain trauma; both issues have become priorities for Goodell and the league in recent years.
"I speak on behalf of 32 NFL club owners in saying we are fortunate to have Roger Goodell as our commissioner," said Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, chairman of the compensation committee, which also includes owners Tom Benson (New Orleans), Pat Bowlen (Denver), Robert Kraft (New England), Jerry Richardson (Carolina), and Steve Ross (Miami). "Since becoming commissioner in 2006, the NFL - already the leader in professional sports - has gotten even stronger.
"As evidenced by this contract extension, we have great confidence in Roger's vision and leadership of the NFL. Our clubs, players and fans could not ask for a better CEO."
The Sports Business Journal first reported the extension.

RIM recently released a new beta version of the BlackBerry Java SDK. The new beta is available for the BlackBerry Java Plug-in for Eclipse and the BlackBerry JDE on Windows, with Mac support on the way. Here are the primary API features of this release:
NFC Peer-to-Peer API, allowing applications to share files and other data through NFC technology initiated communication with Bluetooth® handover.
FM radio API, which is designed to give applications the ability to manipulate FM tuner settings on BlackBerry smartphones with supporting hardware.
Profiles API, which brings more Super App features to applications, allowing them to query current profile settings and adjust their own application behaviour accordingly; or, conversely, intelligently change the current profile to match the user's current activities.
BlackBerry 7.1 OS will be available as an update for in-market devices running the BlackBerry® 7 OS, and will also be available on future BlackBerry smartphones that will be running v7.1.
This beta release of the BlackBerry Java SDK v7.1 includes a simulator for the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 smartphone running 7.1 OS, but developers leveraging net.rim.device.api.browser.field2.BrowserField are encouraged to also download an updated standalone version of the BlackBerry Bold 9900 simulator , which is designed to include a more stable environment for browser-based development.

Review submitted 20 May 2018
This was an amazing trip to experience the remoteness and great beauty of the Kimberleys - the colours, gorges, night sky, waterfalls and wild life. Sturdy walking shoes are recommended. The guides Peter and Adam were knowledgeable and informative. They kept everyday running smoothly and safely. A great team!

Students were asked to imagine the possibilities after high school on Tuesday.
Students were asked to imagine the possibilities after high school on Tuesday.
The day was college / career day at the Carthage High School Technical Center in conjunction with FFA Week. Representatives from colleges and universities from across the region visited the school to share information and answer questions on the possibilities after high school. Lee Ann Fent, CHS Ag teacher, said the day ran smoothly for both speakers and students.
"It's for freshmen through seniors to see the opportunities they have whether they're in Ag or not," Fent said. "We hope next year to include more students from the high school, but this has gone very well. This is the second year we've done this, and the kids seem really interested in what they have to say."
From Missouri State University, Aly Mackey, Mia Mann and CHS 2010 graduate Heather Gray were among those presenting to the students.
"It's been a good day," Gray said. "I've enjoyed coming back and sharing information. I love talking to anyone, really, about the opportunities at MSU. It's been great so far for me, and I wanted to share that so (the students) will have the hope that college can bring … It's a fun day – I feel like I'm back in high school."
Sophomore Zach Nichols was listening to Cody Duft's presentation on John Deere opportunities.
"I thought it was pretty cool," Nichols said of the information. "John Deere is getting huge, and I see something big going on with them and what they're doing overseas."
Duft, aftermarket manager for Legacy Farm and Lawn in Lamar, was one of several businesses representatives for the event. To learn more about FFA, the AG department at the high school, or other opportunities at the technical center, visit http://www.carthage.k12.mo.us/tc.

The 2010 cycle got its official launch this week as Illinois hosted the first primary of the year. State voters put an end to brutal intraparty battles, though the GOP's gubernatorial primary has yet to produce a clear winner (more on Illinois soon.) The other states that monopolized our attention are Delaware, where New Castle County Executive Chris Coons entered the Senate race, and Indiana, where former Senator Dan Coats came out of nowhere to announce he was preparing to challenge the man who replaced him, Evan Bayh.
While Coats is obviously a major threat to Bayh's re-election, his move in the race was followed by an avalanche of stories that he will struggle to overcome. The latest episode: A video filmed in 2008 in which he says he is planning to retire in North Carolina, footage that could haunt him the same way Tom Dashle's "I'm a D.C. resident" damaged his 2004 campaign. This video will be all the more damaging that Coats changed his voter registration to Virginia as soon as he left office ten years ago. The continued drip of revelations about Coats's lobbying clients is also sure to give Democrats major ammunition. Coats spent ten years paying no attention to how his actions and words might play in an electoral context, which is now making him an opposition researchers' dream.
In North Dakota, Democrats got their first Senate candidate: first-term state Senator Tracy Potter announced this week he will take on Governor John Hoeven. (Former Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp had been getting the most buzz, but she has yet to clarify her plans.) The Republican is obviously heavily favored to pick-up this seat and while Democrats now have a credible candidate in case Hoeven self-implodes due to some bizarre scandal, that's probably all Potter can pull off.
Interestingly, Potter has a long political career that started with his activism on behalf of North Dakotan Eugene McCarthy in the 1972 presidential election. While the Democrat plans to tout himself as a centrist, the Grand Folk Herald notes that he was a prominent member of the Prairie Campaign for Economic Democracy, a group that sought to strengthen the state party's progressive wing in the 1970s; in 1980, he walked out of the Democratic convention in protest over Jimmy Carter's renomination. Another interesting fact: In 1984, he lost the Democratic primary to be insurance commissioner to Earl Pomeroy, who went on to win the general election and now serves in the House.
In Arkansas, Rep. John Boozman formally announced his challenge to Senator Blanche Lincoln. Since it was already all but certain he would do so 9 days ago, I already analyzed his move at length last week and I refer you to that post for why Boozman's entry goes a long way towards sealing Lincoln's fate and why the GOP is clearly favored to defend his open seat (AR-03).
In Maryland, it is looking increasingly likely former Governor Bob Ehrlich will seek a rematch against Marty O'Malley, who defeated him in 2006. The Washington Post reports Ehrlich has been lining up fundraising events; "I'm willing to serve," he said to the Post. While he added he would not make up his mind until March, that alone signals he is leaning towards running: pulling out of the race so late would make it next to impossible for the GOP to find a back-up. Larry Hogan, who looked like the probable Republican nominee before the Ehrlich buzz increased, ended his exploratory committee this week. "I am convinced [Ehrlich] will run," he explained.
In Connecticut, both parties have their front-runners but there is still movement. On the Democratic side, state Senator Gary D. LeBeau announced this week he was dropping out, which leaves four candidates in the primary. The Republican side got a new entry: Mark Boughton, who has served as the Mayor of Danbury since 2001. Danbury is a decent-sized city whose population hovers around 80,000, so expect Boughton to be a player in the Republican primary; Quinnipiac's most recent poll found a wide open field with Tom Foley at 17%, Lieut. Gov. Michael Fedele at 8% and Boughton at 6%.
In California, Rep. Jackie Speier ruled out leaving her House seat this week, despite mounting rumors that she was preparing to run for California Attorney General. Her retirement would have created a fierce Democratic primary in her staunchly blue seat, but it would have been all but impossible to envision a competitive general election (Kerry and Obama both received more than 70% in CA-12). Another Democrat who confirmed his re-election plans this week is Tennessee's Rep. Lincoln Davis. While he had already said he would run, the GOP still hoped it could push him towards the exit and have a shot at an open seat in a district that voted for McCain by 30%.
While I typically publish my weekly update on Sunday, I had left time to blog today so I am posting this post (which is prepared through the week) today and shall have time to do something else tomorrow.

When you hear the phrase 'cyber security', what springs to mind?
On the face of it, cyber security is often assumed to be purely technical: it could be described as protecting IT from viruses, malware and other threats that just keep growing in the digital age.
To take it one step further, cyber security is about protecting information that we create, share and store in ever-advancing ways from those threats.
When we really think about the role, value and use of information, we start to see that cyber security is about much more than purely technical issues.
However, it's when we look at the threats, and how those threats become reality, that we can truly understand that cyber security is, at its heart, about people more than it is about technology.
Human error
In cyber security we often say 'there is no such thing as a malicious machine'. Trace a cyber attack or information breach back to its source and you won't find code, you'll find a person.
In fact, most information breaches are the result of human error and a lack of awareness, and the 'human problem' appears to be increasing.
Larry Ponemon, Chairman of the Ponemon Institute.
Eight years of research on data breach costs has shown employee behavior to be one of the most pressing issues facing organizations today, up 22%
Some recent information breaches handled by the Information Commissioner's Office (the ICO; the UK's independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest) help to illustrate the point:
- Ministry of Justice. Details of all 1,182 prisoners at HMP Cardiff were accidentally emailed to the families of three inmates; the ICO issued a £140,000 penalty and referred to a "clear lack of management oversight".
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board. A consultant psychiatrist was cycling home and lost a bag off the back of their bike which contained sensitive personal data including a mental health act tribunal report relating to a patient.
The ICO commented that "this data breach was entirely avoidable" and specifically referred to the lack training the consultant had received.
- Bank of Scotland. Customers' account details were repeatedly faxed to wrong recipients in a "four year fax blunder" due to human error inputting the wrong fax numbers; the Bank of Scotland was issued a £75,000 monetary penalty for the breach.
A lot of people will have heard of, experienced, or worried about losing information in scenarios like the examples above, from mistyping an email address to losing papers on the commute home from work.
People will always make mistakes, but policies, procedures and training help to minimise mistakes by making them both much less likely and less damaging.
They do this by helping people to understand:
- The value of information in general, and the particular types of information they really need to take care of (this is why many organisations, including the UK government have an information classification system).
- The cyber threats and what, in particular, they should look out for.
- What is expected of them, in terms of both why and how they should keep information safe.
- What to do in case of an information breach or a cyber attack.
- Where they can turn for more help, advice or support.
Driving awareness of the threats and implications of data loss, and supporting staff to understand what they can do to better protect information, makes a huge difference when it comes to cyber security.
In fact, a survey published by Ernst and Young in October 2013 argues that 80% of the solution to cyber security is non-technical.
Internal data theft
Reducing accidental breaches helps to protect your organisation from the day-to-day trickle of data loss. It also makes internal data theft, far less common than accidental loss but usually more costly, more noticeable.
When staff members are trained in cyber security, they are more equipped to notice strange behaviour from a colleague, from requesting access to files that they don't need to emailing work to their personal email address or leaving the office with piles of paper.
If we better understand what motivates people to steal data we can put measures in place to make those thefts less likely.
Research by Symantec and Mishcon de Reya indicates that most internal data theft is perpetrated by lone men in their mid-20s to mid-30s, working in technical roles, generally stealing the data by technical means.
However, over a quarter of internal data theft is carried out by stealing hard copies, and most discoveries of internal data theft are made by non-technical staff. This all reinforces the need to have a multi-discipline approach to cyber security and shows why keeping information safe is everybody's job.
Patterns tend to precede internal data theft: stress is often a motivating factor for malicious insiders, particularly a professional setback (perceived or real), which highlights the need for good morale in an organisation, reinforced by two-way communication and a culture that values staff members (especially at times of organisational change).
Processes and procedures play an important part, too. For example, as 70% of data theft takes place within 30 days of an employee handing in their resignation, robust exit procedures that take account of data theft should be in place.
Insiders, particularly current & former employees, are cited as a common source of security incident, yet many organisations do not have plans for dealing with an insider threat, and those that do are often not very effective.
External attacks
Of course, discussions about internal data theft and loss should not distract from the cyber attacks that come from outside an organisation.
In fact, external cyber attacks on organisations have increased by 50% in the last year. On top of that, external attackers are turning more and more to 'human' methods to extract information from an organisation, from social engineering to phishing attacks, which have grown 87% in the last year.
Increasingly busy lives, and the blurring of home and work life, also puts information at risk, as the 2013 Norton Report (of 13,022 online adults) shows:
- 49% of respondents use their personal devices for work.
- 30% of parents using mobile devices for work admit to letting their children use their devices (and as children generally use the internet to play games, use social networks, watch videos and engage in other risky behaviour online, this puts work devices at greater risk).
- One quarter of file storage users say they use the same online file storage account for both work and personal documents.
- 90% of PC users delete suspicious emails from people they don't know, whereas only 56% of mobile users do.
The 2013 Norton Report also addresses the increasing risks posed by social networking. One finding of the report is that 31% of social media users connect with people they don't know, the dangers of which were highlighted recently when a security exercise carried out on a US Government Agency hit the headlines.
Two hackers staged a cyber attack on a US Government Agency by setting up a Linkedin and Facebook profile posing as a young woman, and convinced officials to click a corrupted e-card that obtained passwords to sensitive documents.
Within the first 15 hours, the fake profile had made 60 Facebook connections and 55 LinkedIn connections with employees from the targeted agency and its sub-contractors and within one week the hackers had achieved their aim of infiltrating the agency.
This success of this exercise demonstrates the ease with which attackers can use social networks to gain access to people and their information.
A multifaceted approach to a complex problem
Cyber security is about trying to govern where humans and machines meet.
In too many organisations, however, it is still seen as something for IT to tackle alone, but all of the technical solutions that money can buy will not protect an organisation from human error, malicious insiders and external attacks.
What do help to protect organisations are technical solutions implemented as one part of an organisational approach that depends on understanding of the value of information, and covers policies, procedures and training.
As MI5 Director General Andrew Parker commented at the recent Intelligence and Security Committee:
it's tempting to think that security relating to an IT issue must have an IT solution, and of course that's part of it… but those [IT solutions] sit within the whole range of security arrangements that we have - physical security of our facilities, but most importantly the personnel security that we apply to the vetting that our people have… the way they're managed, and the way all these measures together make it extremely difficult and extremely unlikely to have… breaches
To take care of information, you must put people at the centre of your approach to cyber security.

I don't believe you can honestly ask people to be more security aware than they "think" they are. IT departments do have to be smarter with technology choices because there will ALWAYS be someone who makes a mistake.
It's not all about train and block people from causing an issue, it's also about working with their lifestyle and finding a way to embrace it. Even this article has an old technology firewall mentality - "next-generation firewalls" answer so many of the concerns you raise.
Yes, look at educating your users, but don't think you can stay ahead of the next "mobile born" generation of employees with a firewall designed before smartphones were even invented!
I totally agree that IT need to make smart choices - they need to be empowered to do so as one part of cyber security, and with the resources they need.
Asking people to be more security aware than they already think they are is a challenge, but one I've successfully overcome with many organisations. Having worked on a number of cyber security change programmes, I've seen the huge differences it makes if the programme is led from the top and cyber security is understood as a business, not simply IT, problem.
Next Generation Firewalls offer more potential to spot malicious activity and one of the benefits of a NGFW is the management oversight it can provide - as one tool in the organisation's approach to cyber security.
I totally agree that this is about working with people, their lifestyle and ways of working, and it definitely shouldn't simply be about blocking people. But, that does illustrates why education and awareness-raising is so important - if you need to restrict some access, staff members need to understand why so that they don't try to find ways around the restriction.
As I say towards the end of the article, in my experience technical solutions implemented as one part of a cyber security strategy that is led from the top and invests in people, has a hugely positive impact on an organisation's cyber security.

Advice and support if you're caring for an alcoholic, including getting help and looking after yourself.
If you're a carer for a problem drinker, finding help can be a frustrating experience.
People who care for problem drinkers sometimes have to struggle to get the recognition and support they're entitled to.
"They have not always been perceived as 'legitimate' carers," says Drew Lindon of The Princess Royal Trust for Carers (now the Carers Trust).
"But it is clear from the legislation and the National Carers Strategy that people who take care of problem drinkers should be recognised as carers," he says.
You have legal rights as a carer if you provide regular and substantial unpaid care for someone who may be entitled to community care services.
For example, you are entitled to a carer's assessment and may be entitled to carers' services (including breaks), whether or not the person you care for receives any services.
Carers who don't meet their local authority's criteria for getting support may still be able to get help from local voluntary services, such as Carers' Centres. To find your local carer centres and services, use our service directory.
The shame often associated with alcoholism, as well as denial, can be an obstacle to getting help. "The stigma will affect both the alcoholic and the carer," says Lindon. "It can affect their ability to ask for and get help."
Being a carer is hard work and, with so much to do, it can be difficult to find quality time for yourself. Staying well and healthy increases your ability to look after someone.
But nobody can plan for every eventuality and we all get ill sometimes. Read about carers' breaks and respite care for advice on getting help with caring for someone and breaks from caring.
"Carers for alcoholics need to be seen as partners in care," says Lindon. "They are an essential part of the care and treatment process. They need and deserve support for themselves.
"If carers are not supported and their health suffers, who will support the person they are caring for? The health and social care system would not survive without carers' support."
The first place to go to for support will depend on your circumstances, but Lindon advises contacting your council's social services department or a local Carers' Centre.
Carers' Centres can help you get access to services and benefits through your local authority, and can give you information about other useful organisations.
Most carers have a legal right to an assessment of their needs. It's your chance to discuss the help you need with caring with your local authority's social services department.
Discuss what type of support will help you maintain your own health and enable you to balance caring with the other areas of your life, such as work and family.
Social services departments use the assessment to decide what help would be useful for you, although they're not legally bound to provide this support. But the support they may provide includes benefits, such as Carer's Allowance, and grants for breaks or to make caring easier.
"The carer's assessment takes into account your needs as a carer and your aspirations as an individual," says Lindon. Before your assessment, think carefully about what kind of support you and the person you care for need. You can get help with preparing for a carer's assessment from NHS Choices or your local Carers' Centre.
The benefits system is complex. It's a good idea to get specialist advice about what you're entitled to and how to fill in any claim forms. Carers Direct, alcohol support charities and carers' organisations can help.

Performing Arts in 2012 was diverse
Musicals, complex drama highlighted the season
In 2012, theater audiences were entertained by several diverse productions, from Sierra Classic Theatre's emotionally complex "Proof" to Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre's musical sensation "The Marvelous Wonderettes."
Earlier this year when the lack of snow and holiday-withdrawals started to kick in, MLRT's "Lend Me A Tenor" written by Ken Ludwig kept spirits high with risqué double-entendre and cartoonish physical comedy.
Chuck Scatolini and Juliana Olinka stole the show as the world famous tenor and his overly-zealous-when-jealous wife, Tito and Maria Merelli.
MLRT celebrated it's first sold out opening night with "Tenor," and while technically it marked the end of the season, it led the way for a great year at The Edison Theatre.
"Proof," written by David Auburn is not just a story about math, but also growing pains that come with love and loss.
Although it is no classic in the traditional sense, during the spring season, SCT's Allison McDonell Page directed this 2001 Pulitzer Prize winning drama.
Julia Runcie took on the intense emotional rollercoaster that is Catherine: daughter of a mathematical genius, who is possibly a field-revolutionary herself—or possibly just insane.
While the mountain was severely missing one, Shakespeare's "The Tempest" performed in Sam's Wood Site.
Directed by Lesley Bruns, this year's Shakespeare was given a Caribbean twist, much like last year's Old West "Twelfth Night." Burns, along with SCT Board Director Allison McDonell Page, focused their version of "The Tempest" on character and comedy, as the story isn't necessary as lighthearted as other Shakespearian comedies.
Although they were only in town for a week, the short-lived "Bluenose" played for elementary age children from all over the Eastern Sierra.
Five years ago, MLRT began Theatre for Young Audiences, and this year it introduced the fantastic set design and scenic paint job of June Simpkin.
Simpkin also crafted the versatile "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" sets, and we're bound to see more of her work in the future.
The year ended with two distinct comedies, candy-coated musical, "The Marvelous Wonderettes" and farced play-within-a-play "A Dickens' Christmas Carol."
While the story lacked in substance, the harmonizing Wonderettes quartet made up for it with vibrant characters, high-energy choreography and extraordinary vocal harmonies.
Leigh Ann Battista, Amy Grahek, Jacqueline Marie and Kristin Reese preformed over thirty songs, which they rehearsed for roughly six months beforehand.
Shira Dubrovner, Artistic Director of Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre, had a keen eye for comedy this past year. Not only kicking off the year by directing "Lend Me A Tenor," but she also closed The Edison's year with "A Christmas Carol" a true play-within-a-play, and the typical fare expected during the holiday season.

Butler center Andrew Smith, out for a week because of an abdominal injury, was cleared to practice Friday and will be a game-time decision for Saturday's Atlantic 10 matchup at Fordham.
"Andrew has progressed more quickly than expected," Butler coach Brad Stevens said Friday afternoon in a statement. "Whether or not he'll play at Fordham will be a game-day decision."
The 11th-ranked Bulldogs certainly need him. Smith, a 6-11 senior from Indianapolis, is Butler's second-leading scorer (11.4 points per game) and second-leading rebounder (5.4 per game).
He sustained the injury last weekend while scrambling for a loose ball early in the game against George Washington. He continued to play but later had to come out with the pain was too much to withstand. The Bulldogs barely won, 59-56, with Smith limited to only 24 minutes.
Without him on Wednesday, Butler was upset at home by Charlotte, 71-67. The loss dropped the Bulldogs to 20-5 overall and 7-3 in A-10 play, one game behind first-place VCU.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration came back empty-handed after a diplomatic delegation to Moscow last month presented intelligence suggesting that Syrian President Bashar Assad's government used chemical weapons on its own people, officials said Tuesday, raising further questions about how seriously the United States can cooperate with Russia to end the Arab country's civil war.
The U.S. officials said that while some of the information presented wasn't new, it reflected the ongoing effort by the United States to persuade Russia to drop its support for the Assad regime two years into a conflict that has claimed more than 70,000 lives. One official described it as the U.S. government's "best evidence" of chemical weapons use by regime forces, even if President Barack Obama and others in the administration say they still lack incontrovertible proof of chemical weapons attacks, which would represent a crossing of Obama's "red line" for potential military action.
On Tuesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said tests carried out by a French laboratory confirmed that sarin gas has been used multiple times and at least once by Syrian government forces and their accomplices. Earlier Tuesday, a U.N. panel said there were "reasonable ground" to believe limited quantities of toxic chemicals were used as weapons in at least four attacks in Syria's civil war, but that more evidence was needed to determine the precise chemical agents involved and who used them.
The U.S. officials, who weren't authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity, said the intelligence failed to convince Russian officials and prompted no change in the Kremlin's support for Assad — a disappointment for the U.S., considering the promises of closer cooperation after several recent meetings and conversations between Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Sitting across from Lavrov in Paris last week, Kerry told reporters that both men expressed concerns "about any potential use of chemical weapons and the need to really get the evidence and ascertain what has happened in that regard. Both Russia and the United States, if it were being used, object to that very, very strongly."
Kerry and Lavrov have been engaged in an intensive effort to get Syria's government and opposition into peace talks, even as Moscow has continued to provide Assad with military aid.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the two top diplomats discussed plans to share information on alleged chemical weapons use when they met one-on-one in the Russian capital a month ago but didn't address specific evidence in their conversations. Senior U.S. and Russian officials are "continuing to coordinate plans to share information and hope to do that in the short term," she said.
Russia's unwillingness to accept what appears to a growing international consensus on chemical weapons use in Syria comes on the heels of other decisions that have frustrated Washington. U.S. officials have chastised Moscow for delivering to Assad's government anti-ship missiles and potentially a state-of-the-art air defense system that would make a U.S.-enforced no-fly zone or any other military intervention significantly more difficult. They've also expressed concerns about what the upgraded equipment would mean for the security of Israel, across Syria's southwestern border.
Nevertheless, Obama administration officials have tried to remain hopeful about the peace push with Russia. They're hoping to launch direct negotiations between representatives of Assad's government and the Syrian opposition in Geneva. The conference, once foreseen for May and then delayed until June, is now not expected to happen until July at the earliest. In the meantime, Syrian government forces have been making significant advances against the rebellion.
