This course helps TS16949 Internal Auditors, TS Lead Auditors and TS Management Reps understand the special requirements of the OEM Customers and how to audit the Core Quality Tools (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, and SPC) in order to meet TS internal auditing requirements. It's the best course of its type in this galaxy!
Course Overview:
A very specially designed course for ISO/TS16949
The TS16949 is a crafty piece of work that specifically states the industry requirements for automotive industry suppliers. Handily, the document states that the supplier's customer may have more, additional specific requirements that are over and above the requirements that are called out in the TS itself. Therefore, the TS specification itself, does not include all of the requirements needed to be a compliant. conformant supplier to the automotive industry. Yes, that's right, you need to know the customer's specific requirements in order to become certified to TS16949. And, brace yourself, that means that you may also need to be in compliance with their specific requirements when using the core tools of quality (APQP, PPAP, FMEA, MSA, and SPC). As a result, automotive suppliers are learning first-hand that just covering and knowing the TS itself doesn't meet the internal auditing requirements of the North American Big Three OEM's. The customer's requirements specifically include the core quality tools of the automotive industry: APQP, PPAP, FMEA, SPC, and MSA.
QAI has specially crafted this training course to include the customer specific requirements of the Big Three along with focused overviews of the core quality tools found at automotive suppliers for Tier One suppliers and downward. Critical thinking overviews of each of the core quality tools has been derived to help students audit the use of the core tools and to determine whether the implementation is effective. These focused subsets of information are designed to help TS practitioners, management reps, team members, and internal/Lead auditors proficiently understand and to be able to audit the complete requirements of the TS specification, customers, and the core tools.
The complex relationships of the Customer Requirements, The TS Standard, and the required Core Quality Tools are graphically simplified. Certified auditors/trainers receive continuous TS training and requirements updates from QAI and will facilitate concise discussions and lecture topics.
The approach is to provide you with the most information in the shortest period of time so as to optimize your time away from the facility. Therefore, the frantic pace of the course is fast and intense in order to cover a ton of valuable material in an extremely limited period of time. It promises to be some of the most intense training you've been through. Students that wanting to learn more information about any one of the core quality tools and how to use the tool(s) should investigate the schedules that QAI has for these individual courses. Each course is also available as onsite training courses.

By Tom Webber, Goal.com
Barcelona picked up its 17th win of the season with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Catalan neighbor Espanyol at Camp Nou.
A sublime opening half hour from Barca proved to do all the damage, with Xavi opening the scoring after just 10 minutes. Pedro soon netted a double before Lionel Messi slid home from the spot after Cesc Fabregas was brought down in the area.
The winter break proved not to have hindered the Blaugrana's typically flowing football, as they took command of the game from the first second, seemingly buoyed by the return of Tito Vilanova to the bench after surgery for a tumor relapse in his throat.
Operating from the left, Andres Iniesta was dancing past the Espanyol defense with ease, and it only took 10 minutes for him to create the opening goal. Having been picked out in space by Messi, Iniesta drilled a low cross into the area where Xavi arrived to slot home unmarked.
The hosts were unrelenting, and after Kiko Casilla made a great save to keep out Iniesta in the 13th minute, it took just another two minutes for the second to come.
Fabregas displayed great balance as he dribbled past Javi Lopez before cutting the ball back to Messi. The Argentine flicked it into the path of Pedro, who managed to make enough of a connection to send the ball into the far corner.
Midway through the half Sergio Garcia blazed a golden chance to cut the deficit in half over the bar, and it proved costly as Pedro added Barcelona's third in the 27th minute. Busquets' perfectly-weighted through-ball was tucked away by the winger with a delightful first-time dink over the keeper.
It went from bad to worse for Javier Aguirre's men as Casilla was judged to have illegaly brought down Fabregas inside the area just two minutes later. Messi was given the responsibility of the spot-kick and he nonchalantly slotted in his 27th Liga goal of the season.
The rampant Catalan giants soon stepped off the gas though and cruised into the break with the game seemingly already won, but the second half did not bring about a change in the pattern of the game as Barca continued to retain the ball, forcing the Periquitos to chase the ball.
The cutting, clinical nature of the hosts had ebbed in the second half, and Pedro can count himself unlucky not to have bagged his hat trick as he twice had the ball in the net again, only to see the goals chalked off for debateable offside decisions.
Espanyol almost grabbed a consolation goal as Juan Angel Albin pounced on a short pass back to Victor Valdes by Gerard Pique, but the Uruguayan could not find a way past the goalkeeper.
The humiliation was almost compounded in the 82nd minute as Messi struck a fantastic 30-yard free kick at goal but the crossbar saved the flailing Casilla.
The victory moves Barcelona 12 points clear at the top of the table, though that could move back to nine should Atletico Madrid defeat Mallorca later on Sunday.

After years of neglect our house, located on 1714 Frazer Ave NW, had a HUGE hole in the roof! Raccoons lived inside and rain flowed from the roof, through the home to the first floor BUT not anymore!
Luckily, we had good weather in December and were able to completely remove the 3rd floor level of the house and install new roof trusses.
We are grateful to have received help from a few of our partners! CertainTeed Roofing, Henderson Roofing and Construction, Canton Erectors, Beaver Excavating and Safety Resources of Ohio, supported the project and trained our team to handle the installation safely. We couldn't have done it without them!
We've learned a lot of new things so far working on this project. For example, the donated roofing insulation provided by CertainTeed, called Flintboard ISO NB, goes on top of the framing and under the shingles to provide additional insulation and thermal comfort inside the house, without losing living space on the 3rd floor and it earns us LEED points for the project!
While we were lucky with December's warm weather, we knew that winter in Northeast Ohio would come any day and it did. The insulation and shingles were a little delayed once we got through the holidays but we're expected to have it done by the end of January.
Stay tuned…

Brockport's huge ninth inning sends Golden Eagles to win at No. 7 Kean
UNION, N.J. -- Brockport scored five runs in the top of the ninth to surge past No. 7 Kean by a final of 7-5 Sunday afternoon.
Junior Mike Gianni got things started with an RBI double down the line to put the score at 5-3. A fly ball would move Gianni to third with one out. Kean traded a run for an out on the next play, as senior Jake Coleman grounded out to short, to inch closer at 5-4. With two outs, Kyle Tracey kept the inning alive with a bunt single to third. After stealing second and moving into scoring position, senior Mike Wheatley walked to put the go-ahead run aboard. Senior Nick Bunce took advantage and doubled into the gap to put Brockport ahead for good. Junior Dan Hurlimann added insurance with an RBI single to left.
Brockport (1-0) scored a single run in the top of the second on a bases loaded walk from Corey Hamula to take a 1-0 lead. Kean (1-1) answered right back and took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the same inning. Sophomore Anthony Fischetti got things started with an RBI single and sophomore James Lyczkowski added another with an RBI sacrifice bunt.
Kean added to their lead with two runs in the fifth aided by two miscues from the Golden Eagles. Rookie Matt Meleo recorded an RBI sacrifice fly and Fischetti scored on an error.
The Golden Eagles and Cougars traded runs in the sixth as Bunce crossed the plate on a wild pitch and junior Joe O'Connor scored off an RBI bloop single from junior Nick Zucchero.
Junior Ethan Selby (1-0) earned the win after facing just one batter in the contest. Junior Justin McCarthy picked up the save after tossing a one-two-three ninth inning. Starter Travis Renwick worked into a no-decision after allowing five runs, three earned, and six hits in 5.1 innings.
Senior Sam Fourre (0-1) suffered the loss in relief for Kean. He allowed four runs and four hits in an inning of work. Senior Kevin Herget didn't factor into the decision after fanning seven in 7.2 innings. He allowed two runs and four hits.
Offensively Fischetti and junior Shane Alvarez each picked up two hits for the Cougars. For Brockport, Bunce and junior Pete Wilson also collected two hits apiece.

A Gardener's Journal September 2003
See'ya September and so'long summer! I survived another season to celebrate my 53rd birthday on September seventeenth. I scored a new shovel, and my Mom presented me with a dozen bales of pine straw mulch (she really knows what I like - thanks Mom!) Now I'm anticipating a fun and fabulous fall and so far it has been.
September here at Floridune was wet on the ends and dry in the middle. The month began with a hot, humid and rainy Labor Day weekend during which I worked indoors on Floridata. Within a week, the temperatures cooled and we enjoyed a stretch of pre-fall weather which I sadly wasted by staying inside working on the computer doing Floridata. Towards the end of the month we had some gray rainy days so I cheered up because I still had to work on the computer but at least I wasn't wasting pretty weather. By month's end the weather was brilliant and beautiful and I'm missing it at this very second. But despite spending all month banging on a keyboard, September here was almost exciting.
Wildlife At Floridune
In late July I found a dead bunny up on The Hill. When I returned to bury it about a half hour later it was gone. In mid-September I found two more bunnies in the same area. One was dead but the other was still alive and violently thrashing about. I picked it up and held it against my belly so it would get warm and calm down. It slowly relaxed and was calm for a while until I realized that it was dead. I don't actually like rabbits very much because they eat almost as many of my plants as the deer. Still I hope that I provided some comfort to the little guy as he passed on (as opposed to scaring him to death by picking him up in the first place). I laid him next to his sibling and went to get a shovel for the burial (next to a crape myrtle so it could benefit from the remains).
I felt a tinge of guilt for thinking of the dead bunnies as fertilizer and how nice it will be to have 3 less rabbits eating my stuff this winter. Still I was sad, I guess because they were so cute - I don't get bummed-out at all over dead baby armadillos...
When I returned a few minutes later the dead bunnies were gone! Again! Just like in July! I must have startled a predator causing him to drop his lunch. I think it hid and watched as I ministered to the wounded bunny. As soon as I left, he swooped in to reclaim his lunch. It could have been a coyote. A neighbor shot one last spring after it killed his geese so they are known to be in the neighborhood. Maybe it was a hawk, eagle or other bird of prey - there are many species of potential rabbit hunters here.
A few days later, Sam the beagle came limping home with his right front elbow sticking out at an alarming angle to his body and lame in his right rear. Sam is an older (about 14) retired beagle. His vet says that he has arthritis and his joints are very delicate. He must have been hit, kicked or attacked and all of his bones were pushed out of whack and the ligament in his right rear knee busted. He's too old to have reconstructive surgery on one leg much less two and he would hate it anyway. He's recuperating now and taking arthritis medicine but has given up chasing rabbits. I'm nursing him back to health with lots of love and wiener treats. These appear to have a rejuvenating effect on his old beagle body because he is still able to snack with the best of 'em.
I'm worried that Sam was the victim of the same predator that nailed the bunnies. While working near where I found them, I noticed broken stems and crushed vegetation in a clump of prickly pear cactus (Opuntia humifusa). Could this be the rabbit's den? Or maybe it belongs to the predator. I intended to clear out this mess last winter but it was too easy to procrastinate - pulling blackberry sticker vines from a cactus patch must be the most miserable (and bloody) garden task imaginable! I'm determined to clean it up now because I want to evict whatever predator it was that beat up my beagle! Besides, I'm certain that it probably has weapons of mass destruction...
Shortly after writing the above paragraph I was sitting up on The Hill watching the sunset. In the fading light a cat walked out of the woods to the middle of the pasture where it sat and looked about. With a start I thought to myself "that is a huge #?#%& cat!" It was three or four times bigger than the typical house cat which meant it must be one of Florida's native bobcats. Wow, what next? Now we have an infestation of bobcats! I hope they're not procreating and I hope they go away. If they must stay, I hope they go after deer, eat a bunch of squirrels and stay away from old Sam the beagle.
In addition to the "predator's burrow" in the cactus, I discovered several others around the place. I haven't seen them yet, but I suspect most of these were made by gopher tortoises. The "gophers" are great hulks with sad eyes that appear resigned to the fact that they are gopher tortoises. These gentle beasts occasionally nibble garden plants (or bulldoze them over) but they're such sweet likable creatures that I would never complain about them (well, yeah I would, but I wouldn't mean it...)
The birds and the tortoises are welcome here but I wish bad fortune upon the obnoxious, destructive and annoying species. Deer have chewed up everything that isn't toxic. Armadillos are plowing up perennials from flower beds and drilling holes in the lawn. Attacking from the dark depths are voles whose underground tunnels transport death-wilt to shallow rooted plants. Then there are the humongous hungry grasshoppers that eat what the bunnies can't reach and the deer don't want. Lower order organisms are plaguing me too - especially fungus which is covering many of the perennials and most of my palm seedlings and both of my feet.
So September was exciting but mostly in a get-on-your-nerves kind of way and I need to find out for certain what's living in all of these burrows!
Field Trip
There weren't many flowers left to take pictures of here at my place after the deer and other pests were done with it (because Sam the beagle is retired and not out there chasing them off). For this month's pictures I had to take a field trip to Steve's where his (better deer protected) yard is exploding with fall flowers.
The sky was overcast when I arrived creating light that was great for taking flower pictures. Pulling in the drive I was immediately dazzled by hundreds (thousands?) of spectacular spidery red hurricane lilies (Lycoris radiata) . He's been propagating them for several years and uses them like border grass (Liriope spp.) to outline his big beds of perennials and shrubs. His whole yard is densely planted and totally ablaze in color and a'shimmer with a beautiful bounty of butterflies.
Steve toured me through his perennial garden where we saw huge firebush (Hamelia patens), firespike (Odontonema strictum), 'Indigo Spires' salvia (Salvia 'Indigo Spires') and Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha) - all neatly hemmed in by the fiery hurricane lilies. The whole scene hummed with activity both figuratively with butterflies and wind tossed blossoms, and literally from Steve's bees that he keeps for honey.
A tour of his vegetable garden found me looking at rows of delicate seedlings of exotic kale selections with feathery leaves that are sure to be delicious in a few weeks. Beyond that, gigantic squash leaves threatened passage. Ducking low was the way to go, for just ahead were huge cassava plants (Manihot esculenta) at least 15 ft (4.6 m) tall. Just down from them a big patch of Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) was blooming like crazy and scheming on how to get under the fence and invade the adjacent shrub border
Steve is now outfitting his greenhouse with gas heat just in time for winter (sweet!). His wife Joney has a huge potted plumeria and other tropicals that will now have a warm retreat for the winter. He also has a superb misting system for rooting cuttings and he gave me some really nice starts from some of the new items he grew this year. He grew some gorgeous new Salvias and Cupheas and hopefully we'll profile these for Floridata next year.
Out of battery, memory and energy, my picture-taking field trip was over by early afternoon. I gathered up my plant presents and headed home to look at the new pictures and take a nap. I'm planning to visit again next month when Steve's cape honeysuckle (Tecomaria capensis) and yellow elder (Tecoma stans) will be blooming - that'll be something to see!
On the long drive home from Steve's my brain seethed with glorious visions of perennials painting my place in color. Stepping from the car, reality hit me in the head as I surveyed the deer devastated landscape. They had won. I was beaten and I hadn't felt like doing much yard work during the last half of the summer. It had been hot, rainy and buggy so I spent all my time working on Floridata instead. But when I sat down to write this section I realized that I hadn't done anything fascinating to write about. So I spent the last weekend of September at last putting the final touches on a shade garden that has been in the works for the past couple of years.
It's beneath a laurel oak about 30 ft (9 m) from my window. I've been hesitant to plant things near it because I don't really like it and have fantasized about cutting it down. It's roots have wreaked havoc with the septic drain field so it's not much beloved or anything. Last fall I decided to keep it, mainly because I didn't have the energy or money to cut it down. Besides, I rationalized, it would provide a place to do some fun shade gardening and since it was close to the house there's less chance that the deer will defile and dine upon what I plant there.
I began this garden last year when I planted some small divisions of cast iron plant (Aspidistra elatior)in the deepest shade under the tree. Nearest to the trunk I stuck cuttings of tree ivy (X Fatshedera lizei) that will grow into a sprawling evergreen mass above the rooty area near the trunk. I planted some young hardy bamboo palms (Chamaedorea microspadix) and a blue stem palm (Sabal minor) both of which are shade lovers. To make the place more hummingbird-friendly I put in starts of blue anise sage (Salvia guaranitica).
This year, to brighten things up quickly and inexpensively, I transplanted volunteer impatiens (Impatiens wallerana) seedlings that I dug from around the place and pulled some of the "babies" from the variegated spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) in the hanging basket. These are great as a shade-loving fast-growing ground cover (frost tender, grow as annuals in colder Zones). I planted mondo grass sprigs (Ophiopogon japonicus) at the edges of a portion of the bed to add texture and depth and then completed the garden with a nice thick cover of my birthday present (pine straw mulch!)
In Bloom
In mid-September I stepped out the back door and the most spectacular scent slipped up my nose. The fragrance was light and spicy and a little fruity and had it been a flavor it would have been delicious to eat. Sniffing for the source, my nose led me to the big loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica ) that's out behind the shed. This is a beautiful broadleaf evergreen whose fragrant flowers begin to appear in late summer and throughout autumn. These will be followed by small (but tasty) smooth skinned yellow fruits with large seeds. The loquat is one of my favorite trees and I have about a half dozen of them scattered around in small groves. Some are seedlings that a neighbor gave me and a couple others are selected varieties (name long forgotten) that have superior, less fibrous fruit. If the first frost holds off until January the loquats will have time to ripen although here in Zone 8 they often get zapped. Even fruitless, though, the loquat is a handsome small evergreen tree of many talents and to catch its scent adrift in a cool breeze a treat.
Other favorites of the season that we're enjoying now include the brilliant orange firebush (Hamelia patens), and the power-pink Confederate rose (Hibiscus mutabilis). The Mexican bush sage (Salvia leucantha) is dripping with sulfur butterflies (dogface and cloudless!) as is the blazing red firespike (Odontonema strictum) which is also hugely admired by hummingbirds. All of these species in fact attract butterflies and there's nothing prettier than when the garden is awash in multicolored swirly motions.
The beautiful but evil yellow rain tree (Koelreuteria paniculata ) is blooming and it's driving both me and the local bees insane (see photo). This tree produces volunteer seedlings by the thousands choking flower beds and requiring more pull for removal than I care to do. Some even germinated on the roof in piles of leaves where their roots grew under the shingles and created a leak! If the chain saw wasn't broken this handsome but messy slob would already be gone. Now it must go, one way or the other, before it unleashes another generation into the world. This tree is a gonner. Even though it is very showy, do not plant this invasive thug in Florida. This tree is often sold in discount garden centers, so before you buy one check locally to insure that the yellow rain tree is not a pest in your area too.
On the last evening of the month my nose detected another sweet scent - it was the night-blooming jasmine (Cestrum nocturnum) at last in bloom! The night cestrum, as it is also called, is a tropical evergreen that is killed back to the ground each winter here in Zone 8. It is root hardy though and returns year after year but typically takes six or seven months after cold weather has passed before it will bloom. From now until the first frost I'll make it a point to enjoy my cestrum, one of the most fragrant plants on the planet!
In Fruit
There's not much in the way of tasty things for me to harvest this year. Squirrels ate every one of the Japanese persimmons (Diospyros kaki) on my tree (grrrrrr). The pomegranate (Punica granatum) down by the Catfish Pond is still recovering from a late freeze that killed it back two years ago. It did bloom this year - but not until this month so there's no way we'll have pomegranates this year.
The figs (Ficus carica) ended production this month and I sacrificed some Florence fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) that was destined for a pasta salad to some hungry caterpillars. The "wildlives" are having a much more abundant harvest than I. The flowering dogwoods (Cornus florida) set a heavy crop of fruit this year and I've observed squirrels going berserk harvesting, eating and hiding the bright red fruits. Stems of American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) are leaning under the weight of their shiny loads of lavender berries.
Steve has his beautyberries growing co-mingled with hearts-a-burstin (with-love!) (Euonymus americanus) in a woodsy part of the garden where they combine in a burst of bright color that is complemented by a nearby trio of arrow-wood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum). These are loaded with big black berries that sparkling against bright yellowish-green foliage that will eventually make a delicious dish for one critter or another.
This month's deer damage was really discouraging so it was nice to have Floridata to work on to distract my attention from the devastation. The other nice things about working on Floridata is that there's air conditioning, no bugs biting, no sunburn and no snakes sneaking up freaking me out. The bad thing is that we're just starting up as a "real" business so there's not much money resulting in poverty. [Update 2015 - still poor, still "starting up"! ]
Just like the gopher tortoise though, Floridata will forge on with determination growing bigger and better. In October I'll continue upgrading our oldest Profiles with new photos and information. We have some new Plant Profiles on the way too. [Update 2015 - we upgraded all of the old Profiles and have added hundreds of new Profiles since 2003! ]
Visit often this fall and please bring your friends with you. Thanks for your time and for visiting Floridata. If you come back I promise to not be so grumpy! Thank you for your support and encouragement. Be good and grow! - October 5, 2003 Jack

Search continues for alleged escapee Aaron Singleton
Hot Spring County Sheriff Mike Cash is asking for anyone with information on 27-year-old Aaron Singleton to call 911 immediately. Singleton is accused of escaping from the Hot Spring County Jail at 11 a.m. Sunday morning (Dec. 3) after assaulting a jailer. The jailer was taken to the hospital and treated for injuries before being released to his home.
Singleton had been arrested Saturday by the Malvern Police Department and was likely to face charges of battery and false imprisonment. Cash said Singleton's alleged victim is still in the hospital and it is unknown if he will pull through.
Cash said Singleton grew up around Hot Spring County and they have no reason to think Singleton left the area, though they can't rule the possibility out because of the amount of time that's passed. Cash said they also don't know if Singleton is armed or not. Cash advises citizens to be cautious and lock up. He said citizens should not attempt to apprehend Singleton themselves, but should call 911 if they see him.

The Chicago man dubbed "the Groucho Bandit" for robbing banks while wearing a fake mustache pleaded guilty today in federal court to holding up three banks.
Michael Staadt, 37, faces up to about 4 years in prison when he is sentenced by U.S. District Judge Samuel Der-Yeghiayan in June. He pleaded guilty "blind"--without a sentencing agreement with prosecutors.
Staadt's spree came to an end after it was noticed in one of his neighborhood bars that he looked much like a photo of the bandit. But after he was arrested and released to a center to receive psychiatric help, he allegedly committed another bank robbery.

Albion Water v Ofwat/Welsh Water [2007] CAT 8
Competition Appeal Tribunal judgment (58 pages, PDF) refusing permission for Welsh Water to appeal the Tribunal's judgments quashing an Ofwat non-infringement decision, declaring that Welsh Water had abused a dominant position in its dealings with Albion Water in relation to the Shotton Paper site, and imposing a continuation of interim measures including the imposition of a bulk supply price. The Tribunal held that the appeal had no real prospect of success, and that it was premature as regards exploitative abuse issues, given that Ofwat is due to report to the Tribunal on its further investigation of these issues by Monday 18 June 2007.
Welsh Water can now apply to the Court of Appeal for permission to appeal the Tribunal's judgments. Ofwat had not sought permission to appeal (at this stage).

The presidential office says it has found a data file suggesting officials under the previous Park Geun-hye administration fabricated a situation report on the sinking of the Sewol ferry in 2014.
The document is said to have been fixed six months after the disaster to indicate that the now-impeached former president was informed about the sinking 30 minutes later than she was actually told about it.
Presidential Chief of Staff Im Jong-seok on Thursday told reporters that the file suggests modifications were made to change the initial report time from 9:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on April 16th, 2014 - the day the ill-fated ship capsized.
The former administration had claimed Park was informed about the sinking at 10 a.m. and issued her first instructions 15 minutes later.
The previous administration was criticized for its ineffective initial response to the sinking that killed more than 300 people.
Im said incumbent government staff discovered the file on a computer system at the top office's National Security Office.
The chief secretary also said another file was found in a cabinet at an underground bunker at the presidential office that suggests the previous administration illegally fixed national security management guidelines.
Im said that the guidelines were fixed a month after the sinking to indicate that the Ministry of the Interior and Safety was responsible for public safety issues although it was the National Security Office of the presidential office that was in charge.

Johanna Selhorst "Josie" Maran is a former American supermodel and actress probably best known for her appearances in Sports Illustrated from 2000 to 2002. She has been ranked highly in several "Sexiest" lists from over the years. She now runs her own cosmetic company.
Josie Maran is a mix of Polish, Russian, Dutch, French and German heritage and attended an all-girls school in Palo Alto, California. She dreamed of becoming a model ever since she saw Christy Turlington's work for Maybelline. Josie described herself on Twitter as "Supermodel-turned Chief Eco Officer of Josie Maran Cosmetics. Come get your Luxury with a Conscience, baby!"
While she was still in high school, Josie Maran got into the modeling game after a scouting agent encouraged her to pursue modeling. Her first cover was for Glamour in 1998.

Here are a few tips I gathered from an article in the New York Times for making the perfect cookie:
1. Allow the dough to sit for thirty-six hours. The long hydration period allows the slow-moving eggs to work themselves into the dough for the perfect flavor.
2. Don't be afraid to use salt. Add a healthy dose of sea salt to the dough (at least a teaspoon). One of the bakers also recommended sprinkling salt over the cookies just before baking.
3. Live large. Make large cookies, close to six-inches in diameter.
4. Add a little extra vanilla.

Reading Netstat's five-column output is something of an art. First, look at the Local Address column. The results that appear there will typically be 0.0.0.0 or 127.0.0.1, or will show the IP address of one of your physical network-interface connections (e.g., NIC, modem). If the application is bound to 0.0.0.0, the program is willing to accept connections coming from any interface. If the application is bound for a specific IP address, the program will accept connections to that port only from that local interface. The 127.0.0.1 address is the local loopback address, which means that the applications will accept connections originating from only the local computer. The 127.0.0.1 address is common for interprocess remote procedure call (RPC) communications and PDA connections. You can typically count on the safety of any 127.0.0.1 connections because malicious software (malware) would never open just a local connection to itself. Therefore, concentrate on the remaining connections.
Related: Using Private Ports and Netstat for Easy Remote Access
Next, most people look at the state. Any session in Listening mode shouldn't have a remote IP address attached with it; however, any session in Established mode (or other active state) should. Typically, the remote IP address will 127.0.0.1 or the address of some external computer. Again, you can ignore the 127.0.0.1 connections, but you should analyze active sessions to remote IP addresses. Are there any you didn't expect? If so, tie the session to its process identifier (PID) and research the program. Take note of the remote destination port number to see if you can tie it to a well-known protocol (e.g., HTTP).
When you look for malware, the ports to concentrate on are unexplained Established connections to remote Internet addresses, unexplained TCP ports in Listening mode, and unexplained UDP ports. Many UDP ports have a twin entry in the TCP Listening mode because the application opening the port can use UDP or TCP, depending on the situation. If a UDP port doesn't have a matching TCP entry, research it. If a UDP port does have a matching TCP entry, you can concentrate on the TCP port for your research.

Analysis: The unlikely victims of the Arab Spring?
By ZVI MAZEL
Syria, Hezbollah and Iran all stand to lose from regional upheavals.
Last week saw Iran's staunchest allies squirming on television. President Assad of Syria tried to enlist Barbara Walters while Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah
briefly got out of his bunker
to comfort his worried militants.
Though there is nothing to indicate that the move was a concerted one in view of the military alliance between the two, it does show that both men are acutely aware of the fact that the turmoil in Syria endangers them and also their patron, Iran, while Shia influence wanes in the Middle East.
'Post-Assad Syria would drop special Iran ties'
There was something pathetic in the desperate efforts of the two leaders to pretend that all was well. Assad made a fool of himself by earnestly declaring in face of the evidence that it was not his forces that had killed unarmed protesters and that only a crazy man would massacre his own people.
One wonders whether he is blind or does not want to see. Casualties are piling up, resistance is not abating and he can't stop it. Does he believe that the tide can be stemmed forever? Has he become a tool in the hands of a military junta led by his brother Maher whom some call a ruthless murderer? Though Assad was desperate to enlist world public opinion against the sanctions which are beginning to bite, he did not indicate by one word that he was ready to quit or to start talking with the opposition.
A few days later he said he was ready to accept the Arab League ultimatum – withdraw his troops from urban centers and let in observers to check on the situation in Syria – but only if the League canceled its sanctions.
In any case, it appears too late to talk, the opposition being united in its call for Assad's departure. While the protests go on, there is now a "Free Syrian Army" made of deserters from the regular army – officers and enlisted men – and numbering a few thousand men.
It seems, at least at that stage, that the Syrian army is not in danger of disintegration.
Assad is using mainly regiments belonging to his own Alawite minority and as such fanatically devoted to the regime.
Yet the combined effects of the protests, the attacks of the Free Syrian Army and international pressure are taking their toll, while the country's economy unravels.
There is an all too real risk of civil war which could lead to Syria being torn apart along ethnic and religious lines. That may be why the Sunni middle class and the Christian and Kurdish minorities are not keen to join the fray. Such is the case in the city of Aleppo, with its two and a half million mainly Sunni inhabitants, who have so far remained on the side lines. Hamas is reportedly considering leaving its Damascus headquarters for safer pastures. Interestingly, Russia and China are still behind Assad – realpolitik and economic interests being at work – but for how long? Syria's neighbors are increasingly worried.
Relations with Ankara are going from bad to worse; Turkey is letting opposition movements such as the Syrian National Council and the Free Syrian Army operate from its territory, and threatens to set up a security zone along its border with Syria to protect civilians living there; it has already implemented sanctions against its neighbor.
This led Assad to close a number of border crossing and to impose a tax on goods transiting through Syria on their way to Turkey.
Iraq, careful not to anger Iran while maintaining its close ties to the United States, is being cautious: It says it is in contact with opposition leaders (without naming them) but is against sanctions and supports the efforts of the Arab League.
Jordan is doing all it can to stay neutral in order not to anger Damascus and to preserve its vital trade with its powerful neighbor.
In Lebanon, opposition leader Sa'ad Hariri is saying openly that Assad is on his way out – peacefully or not.
A wary Israel keeps silent, fearing that the dictator at bay might launch his missiles against the hated neighbor while enjoining his Hezbollah ally to follow suit. An ally which does not feel so secure right now.
On the occasion of the recent Ashura celebrations in Beirut, Nasrallah made a rare appearance and hastened to go back to his bunker to deliver a blistering attack via video on – you guessed it – the US and Israeli dastardly plot against Syria conducted despite the fact that Assad was trying to implement reforms. He told militants who watched on huge television screens that Israel would pay the price of the changes taking place in the Arab world.
There was nothing new there, nothing to comfort his supporters, especially after the head of the Syrian National Council had declared that after the fall of Assad, Syria would cut off ties with Hezbollah and would open negotiations to regain the Golan Heights by peaceful means. Nothing either to explain why the whole world and the Arab league were siding with the protests against Assad.
Another indication of Nasrallah's waning influence is to be found in the fact that a few days ago, he had to accept the decision of the Lebanon's Mikati government – a government he helped set up – to pay its share of the cost of the proceedings at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon investigating the assassination of Rafik Hariri – a court which has already issued warrants against four high-ranking Hezbollah officers. Najib Mikati had threatened to resign if Nasrallah blocked the move. Yet barely a year ago Hezbollah brought about the fall of the Sa'ad Hariri government over that very issue. Today Nasrallah had to swallow the bitter pill.
Hezbollah, with its tens of thousands of missiles, nevertheless remain a very real threat to Israel – as long as armaments keep flowing in from Syria. Should that flow come to a sudden halt following a change of regime, it would be a near mortal blow for the organization, which finds itself increasingly isolated inside Lebanon. We are not there yet.
What is clear is that Iran suffered a serious setback in its avowed policy of exporting its brand of Shia Islam revolution throughout the Middle East. Should Syria fall, Iran's bridgehead in the region will fall as well, and with it the network of finance and armament keeping Hezbollah afloat.
As for the new Sunni regimes born of the popular uprisings, they might not be too keen on collaborating with a fanatic Shia regime striving to acquire nuclear weapons.
There is another considerable unknown: the opposition in Iran. Will the winds of changes blowing in the region spur it into renewed activity? This must be the question the ayatollahs are wrestling with today.

Mohamed Osman Mohamud's defense team suggested Monday that undercover FBI operatives may have entrapped their 19-year-old client, grooming him for a foiled bomb plot that prosecutors timed for maximum media exposure.
Mohamud's lawyers joined him in Portland's U.S. District Court, where he pleaded not guilty to accusations that he attempted to ignite a bomb next to thousands of Christmas revelers crowded into Pioneer Courthouse Square for Friday's annual holiday-tree lighting.
"The question we'll be looking into is the question of entrapment," said Steven T. Wax, Oregon's federal public defender, after Mohamud's first court appearance. "Keep in mind we are at the very beginning of a very long process. The defense investigation is just getting under way."
Mohamud's lawyers questioned some of the government's tactics as it spent months building a case against their client. The teen was indicted Monday on a single charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Mohamud is accused of plotting to ignite what he thought was a van-load of explosives at the downtown square. But the weapon was a dummy device secretly prepared by federal agents and presented to him by undercover FBI operatives who had spent months posing as his terrorist associates.
U.S. Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. dismissed accusations that the FBI pushed Mohamud into a crime he otherwise would not have committed.
"I am confident that there is no entrapment here, and no entrapment claim will be found to be successful," he said at a news conference in Washington, D.C. Holder described the six-month investigation and sting "part of a forward-leaning way in which the Justice Department, the FBI, our law enforcement partners at the state and local level are trying to find people who are bound and determined to harm Americans and American interests around the world."
The legal crossing of swords came Monday afternoon, a few hours after The Oregonian reported on unrelated accusations against Mohamud. The newspaper obtained a Benton County court document that showed Mohamud had been accused -- but not prosecuted -- in a date rape last year at Oregon State University.
"I honestly believe without the FBI involved, none of this would have ever happened," one of the young men said.
Mohamud, they said, had been shopping with friends at Washington Square Mall early on Friday, the day of his arrest. They described him as a college kid who smoked, drank, played video games and wanted to marry. They dismissed the notion that he was a religious fanatic, saying they never observed him at the mosques in Corvallis or Portland. And they scoffed at claims he hated white people, saying he ran with "frat boys."
Mohamud shuffled into the courtroom of U.S. Magistrate Judge John V. Acosta at 1:45 p.m. under the watchful eye of U.S. marshals. The teen wore a light-blue button down shirt and ankle chains into a court brimming with security seldom seen at the daily magistrate's arraignment.
He made no noticeable gesture toward a gallery choked with friends and family, including his father, mother and sister. The teen-ager smiled at his lawyers and shook their hands.
The magistrate appointed Stephen R. Sady, Wax's chief deputy federal defender, as Mohamud's primary lawyer. Then the judge gave the teen a standard recitation of his rights and asked if he understood them. The young man answered softly.
Sady then launched into a series of complaints about the government's handling of the case against Mohamud, saying it showed the potential for entrapment and involved sophisticated undercover FBI operatives who were "basically grooming" his client.
The lawyer accused government prosecutors of releasing a 36–page FBI criminal complaint affidavit to news media on Friday night that served as a "press release" for allegations against his client. And he pointed out that the FBI had botched a crucial recording of a conversation between Mohamud and undercover bureau employees in the early stages of their investigation
Sady agreed to file a formal request to the court today asking for prosecutors to save all of the audio and video recordings in its possession and the devices used to collect them.
Acosta set Feb. 1 as the tentative start of a 15-day trial in the attempted bombing case.
Mohamud's defense team stood on the front steps of the federal courthouse after Monday's hearing, where Wax told a mob of reporters and photographers that they intend to look into the actions of FBI employees to see whether they overstepped their boundaries and entrapped their client.
Wax said the criminal affidavit reveals that FBI operatives spent thousands of dollars on Mohamud, suggested key actions for him to take, told him specific bomb components to buy and were instrumental in orchestrating the very crime for which his client was charged.
"One of the issues that will be coming up in this case involves whether, and how, he was directed by those government agents," Wax said. "Precisely who was saying what to whom under what circumstance, what the meaning of it was, will be revealed as the case unfolds."
Wax said Mohamud's defense team had questions about the timing of his arrest, why the government waited so long to take him into custody, and what impact that delay had on his ability to get a fair trial.
He declined to answer questions about Mohamud's mood or allegations that he was told women and children would die in any attack. He said Sady and one of the investigators from their office spent the weekend with Mohamed, getting to know him and his family.
Members of Mohamud's family declined to appear or speak Monday.
A family friend, Lewis & Clark Law School student Saba Ahmed, said she knew many facts in the case not yet made public, and she blasted the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice. She blamed the government for inciting violence, pointing out that the mosque that Mohamed is said to have attended in Corvallis was torched on Saturday in possible retaliation.
"This is very irresponsible behavior because now the Muslim community is the one suffering the consequences," she said. "And we will take very serious action -- politically and legally -- against the government for this."
Ahmed reminded reporters that individuals charged with crimes are presumed innocent, a thought echoed by Wax on the courthouse steps.
"It is critical for people to keep an open mind," he said, "and not to prejudge those matters put out there as allegations."

HDD drive hidden
Greetings folks.
I seem to have upset someone who is much better at networking/computers than I am.
I had shared my 3TB drive to my laptop over the Cisco router I have and (whomever) (s)he reached in and deleted all files from all folders. I tried deleting the folders, but was not allowed. Iirc, the system said the folders were not there, although I could see them.
I left this individual a nasty statement as a folder .. and now I cannot see this drive at all. It can be said perhaps I should not have upset this individual but (s)he was already being invasive, destructive, and rude so I just let off.
To recover my drive, what I have done so far is:
1) Removed the 3.0 USB driver and reloaded
2) Searched the registry in both Hkey_local_machine/.../current_control_set and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer (under both reg acct and Admin)
3) Searched in Diskpart (drive does not show here)
4) Searched in Computer management (drive does not show here)
5) Searched in GPEdit under User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer
I'm at a loss as to where to check next. I've hooked the drive up to another computer and it doesn't show there either, although it gives the noise associated with connecting a USB device.
I'm also in the process of learning various ways to lock my computer down better as I'm poking around in the GPeditor. I had previously believed my wireless network pretty secure as I have a great password and it's locked down to 3 connections via hex addresses (my laptop, netbook and printer.)
I believe the only way to try to catch whomever did it would be to load up wireshark and keep an eye out, or is this incorrect?
Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds as much like hardware/drive failure as nefarious deleting.
Whatever company makes the drive, you should visit their site, they'll have tools in the support section specifically for testing their drives.
Otherwise just about any partition tool should be able to recover deleted files.

- All BOYS may join Coach Eaglen for workouts on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but due to the fact that the Football Team has first use of the stadium facilities, times vary based on their schedule. Therefore, interested athletes should email Coach Eaglen the week before they plan on attending workouts to get the most up-to-date and accurate schedule.
- All Athletes should note their weight lifting and cardiovascular progress on the Track and Field Conditioning Tracker Sheet linked below. Pay attention to the instructions on the first tab provided by Coach Stilson, or the Sheet will not work properly. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LUlBiDZ9VjgIxVjlL2Qfm0eDmEuWUGlJFuz_Y2ZgASU/edit?usp=sharing

As 2013 begins, LaunchThisYear launches today with resources for app developers looking to build an app in the next 12 months.
"The goal is to break down those barriers to make it seem not so daunting to create a mobile app," says founder Mikael Cho. "Leveling that playing field and giving that opportunity to more people who want to be innovative … that was the goal behind LaunchThisYear."
Cho and his team from ooomf, a site to help apps get discovered, had the idea for LaunchThisYear when they realized many of their developers had never made an app before. Here are some of the resources it provides:
Education. LaunchThisYear will help developers with their panoply of tasks, starting with the first: figuring out what problem you're trying to solve. Developers can also expect to learn how to design an icon, how to pick an app store category, and how to write descriptions. The site plans to focus on specific, actionable lessons; for example, it might instruct you to look up two competing apps and write down their keywords.
And the learning will continue after your app gets published, when the challenge of finding users really hits home. As of March, Apple was receiving almost 4,000 app submissions per day, and standing out among the crowd is no easy task.
Tools. LaunchThisYear will also provide links to helpful tools, like SEO optimizers and landing page creators.
Schedule. While the minimal goal is to, obviously, launch this year, the site will also guide developers in estimating a timeline. Cho says it should take around a month for a prototype, and two to three months for a first version. Once you select a date, LaunchThisYear will hit you with weekly milestones to accomplish.
If you sign up now, yours might just be one of the tens of thousands of apps published in March.
To get early access, use the code "techcocktail."

All-though I had a few problems I still think it's a great car.
It is very comfortable to travel long distances in.
The gasoline consumption is high.
There is not enough power in the 2.4L motor, It should have a 6 cylinder option.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Under the hot breath of the mistral, a field of sunflowers like faceless lions dance, a thousand golden Salomes to drive the painter beyond passion to a storied madness. A glorious dazzle, they entice poor Vincent as a lover never would.
Robert Altman, so erratic in recent years, brings an artist's eye and suffering spirit to his masterly portrait of "Vincent & Theo." This lovely if deliberate film marks Altman's return to a more straightforward, but by no means expected, style. A biography that plays like fiction, it tells the story of the van Gogh brothers, stroked and brushed and globbed onto the canvas of the screen. Altman gives us art as ordered chaos, and inspiration as a merciless muse.
Directing from Julian Mitchell's lucid and moving screenplay, Altman focuses on the symbiosis between the two brothers as well as the eternal struggle between the artist and the audience, which by nature is attracted to the status quo. It opens with an auction at Christie's, but the clamor of million-pound bids for "Sunflowers" gives way to the slovenly artist's studio. Set largely in Paris and Provence, this carefully researched look at mental illness and 19th-century mores is also a triumph for the two young British stage actors, Tim Roth and Paul Rhys, who play the artist and his art dealer brother.
Roth's Vincent is wired like a lamp cord with a short, alternately buzzing with energy and lying quiet with desperation. A man in some terrible pain, whether it is epilepsy or some more exotic disorder, he struggles with the savagery of his own senses. His hair a ruffled ocher, his teeth rotten and stained from sucking on his brushes, Vincent writhes like the cypresses of his ravishing canvases. Theo, the quiet syphilitic, twitches and quivers like a hamster nervous in a cage.
The duet between Roth's Vincent and Rhys's Theo, the more controlled but no less anxious younger brother, is founded on blood, paint and obsession. By supporting Vincent, Theo vicariously participates in his brother's art and suffering. As compulsively tidy as Vincent is gross, he marries a great thick Dutch beauty, Jo Bonger (Johanna Ter Steege), but his tie with his brother supersedes even this.
Vincent can only paint and rage. He even paints the prostitutes before he and Paul Gauguin (Wladimir Yordanoff) take their pleasure in the Provencal demimonde. He dips his bread in paint and paints the face of the sleeping Gauguin, who awakes hung over from a night of sex and absinthe. The resulting argument between the two sends Vincent into a fit and he cuts off the lobe of an ear. The Provencal period ends and he enters an asylum.
Theo, now a father of one, finds a new patron for Vincent in Dr. Paul Gachet (Jean-Pierre Cassel), a hypocrite who keeps the art he has bought from the great impressionists in a vault. Gachet's daughter (Bernadette Giraud) and Vincent, grown childlike and introverted, are attracted to each other but Gachet discourages the relationship. The artist wanders off, his paints on his back, to startle crows in the fields of Auvers-sur-oise.
As seen by Altman and his director of photography, Jean Lepine, the crows become the visual brethren of the mourners at first Vincent's and then Theo's funeral. The sky disappears in a terrible blue glare and the grain shivers with the unseen menace of angry old agrarian gods. Vincent shoots himself, a sacrifice to his broken brain and the public taste of the times. And at Christie's the ultimate travesty, bidding on a ruined man's agony. Going, going, gone.
"Vincent & Theo" is more than art appreciation, it is a treasure in its own right, unframed and arcing in the projector's light.
Vincent & Theo, at area theaters, is rated PG-13 for some nudity.

Former first lady Barbara Bush was hospitalized in Houston, Texas, Tuesday after suffering pain during the week, according to reports.
Family spokesman Jim McGrath told the Associated Press that Mrs. Bush, 83, went to Methodist Hospital and underwent tests, which came out negative. The specifics of the tests were not revealed, but she'd been having stomach pains for several days.
On Good Morning America Wednesday, Mrs. Bush's daughter-in-law, Laura Bush, said, "She's doing great."
The current first lady also said she was in touch with the elder Mrs. Bush. "George and I talked to both President Bush and Barbara Bush last night while they were in the hospital and they were both doing very well then," she said.
She added that the White House doctor spoke to Mrs. Bush's doctor "and she's doing very well and so we're really, really thankful."
McGrath told The Houston Chronicle that Mrs. Bush was expected to be released Wednesday.

The time that you invest every day in taking care of your pooch will be rewarded with a wagging tail and doggie kisses. Here's a rundown of the basic tasks required on a regular basis to keep a dog in great shape and spirits.
Dog Care Checklist
Food & Water
Your dog needs proper nutrition every day to stay healthy. Select a high-quality dog food for your pooch and rather than relying on the suggested serving amount on the dog food package, ask your vet for advice concerning the proper amount of food to give your dog specifically. Split your dog's daily required food intake into two meals a day and try to keep an established schedule for feedings to keep it consistent. Again, talk to your vet if you have any questions. Your dog should always have access to water. Start with a fresh bowl of water in the morning and refresh it throughout the day when needed. You may have to change the water (not just refill it) should it become cloudy with dirt or bits of food. During the warmer summer months, she will need more water. Wash the food and water dishes daily.
Potty Breaks
Just like children, dogs need a potty break after meals – usually within 20 minutes after eating. That is in addition to letting her out in the morning when she wakes up, right before she goes to sleep and other bathroom breaks throughout the day. Let her do her business in a fenced in grass area or put her on a leash and take her for a walk. Remember to scoop the poop after she's done.
Exercise & Play
Daily walks and playtime not only keep your dog physically fit, but provide mental stimulation for your pooch (which is just as important to her overall health and happiness). Just how much physical activity your dog needs depends on breed, age, and health. The best time to find out how much time you must commit to walking and playing with your pooch is, ideally, BEFORE you bring her into your home. Once you have a four-legged family member, you must make it a priority to give her the proper amount of exercise -- whether you do this yourself, or by hiring a dog walker.
Show your pooch that you love her every day, as much as you can. Talking to her, petting her, playing with her and offering the occasional doggie treat will help keep her happy. It may just lighten your spirits, too. There is no set amount of time, but since dogs are social creatures, the more time you can spend with your dog the better. You can even squeeze in that time by just letting her sit by your feet when you're watching television or talk to her as you are cooking or folding laundry.
If you can, try to brush your pooch daily If that's not feasible, brush her thoroughly at least once a week -- though this is typically not enough for a long haired dog. If you have a long-haired breed and you can't brush her daily, you'll need to make more frequent appointments with a groomer. No need to worry about bathing her everyday or even every week. Unless she's a habitual mud-roller that likes to make friends with skunks or has very oily skin, you can usually keep the bathing to every few months. Visit a groomer to get out any stubborn mats in the hair, keep her nails trimmed, and to express her anal glands -- a job you'll probably NOT want to do yourself! You'll groomer will be able to let you know how often your dog should be taken in for an appointment, depending on her (and your) specific needs.
Dogs can sink their teeth into some interesting smelling stuff, on top of their regular doggie breath smell. Every three to seven days you should brush her teeth. This not only cleans them, it also helps reduce dental problems and maintains healthy teeth and gums. There is doggie toothpaste you can use or just mix up a paste of baking soda and water. Grab a kid's toothbrush or gauge pad to scrub those teeth.

If you are one of those people that just can't fall asleep due to racing thoughts…you are not alone. Millions of people, including I, deal with that exact situation more than a couple nights a week.
What causes a racing mind prior to falling asleep?
Typically, a racing mind is caused by a lack of sleep. Ironic right? The one thing causing you to not be able to sleep, is actually caused by lack of sleep.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, a proper night's sleep for adults is 7-9 hours. Many of us, don't get anywhere near that.
What happens when your mind races?
Well, you stress. Stress is what starts to happen to your body when your mind is racing. If you are unable to calm your racing mind, it becomes a revolving door situation. Your mind races, you stress about not being able to fall asleep, your mind races more and so on.
Most thoughts one has while their mind is racing before bed fall into three categories.
- What should I have done different today.
- What do I need to do tomorrow.
- I can't believe I'm can't fall asleep.
5 Methods To Stop A Racing Mind
The Kung-Fu Way
This method is really helpful to bring your attention fully to the present when you trying to get to sleep. Hold both hands out straight (like a Kung Fu Master), then think of the outside of your right hand as the future and the outside of the left hand as the past. Now bring your attention to the distance between your two hands that represents the present, and focus on just the present. Forget the past and remove any thoughts of the future.
Relax Your Entire Body
- Focus on your psychical body, which you can control.
- Do this exercise while laying on your back.
- Start with your head and while taking deep breaths, imagine your head sinking into the bed slowly.
- Move to your neck and shoulders and do the same thing. You will start feeling relaxed.
- Keep going and focus on your arms and hands.
- Then your rear and upper legs.
- On to the calves and then feet.
- Make sure to breath in through the nose, hold it for 3-seconds and breathe out slowly through the mouth. Do this through all steps.
- The idea here is to focus so much on your body that your thoughts begin to fade. The added benefit being that these exercises will leave your body relaxed and ready for sleep.
Try taking deep breathes in through your nose and out through your mouth, holding each breathe for 3 seconds. Notice the tension leaving your body on each exhale. Similar to the above exercise, except you are solely focusing on your breathing.
This breathing technique is actually wildly used by many hypnotherapists to place their patients in a relaxed state of mind.
Pattering Quiet Activities
- Think about activities that calm you and put you in a more open minded or relaxed state.
- For some people, it's painting, reading, knitting, or puzzle books or playing music.
- The activity shouldn't be overly physical or mental.
- Start making it a habit of doing this activity before you go to bed.
Before you go to bed, take some time and write. Recount your successes of the day, or write about anything that makes you happy. This will slow down your thoughts and send you off to sleep in a positive mindset.
Comfort TV
For some people, falling asleep with a TV on is the worst thing you can do for a racing mind. However, some find it soothing and allows them to fall asleep quickly.
If you are going to watch TV in order to ease your mind, it is recommended you watch what many call 'comfort shows'. Find a show or movie that bears happy feelings and memories. This will ease your mind and cause you to forget about the racing thoughts.

Download the authoritative guide: Enterprise Data Storage 2018: Optimizing Your Storage Infrastructure
Much of the industry seems to have gotten the picture that doing all flash storage is not very practical except for small contained sets such as file system metadata or database index tables, given the cost of flash. Nor is all disk practical except for streaming I/O environments such as video playback or captures.
Of course I am thinking of larger environments with hundreds of TB (or greater) of storage, where storage costs are a big cost driver. Almost every week – if not more often – you hear of another hybrid storage product that will cache your data and seamlessly make it seem like you are running off of one hundred precent flash storage. Of course reality and marketing materials are often different
On the other hand I do believe that the world is going to move to hybrid storage because:
1. Flash costs will not drop below disk costs.
2. Flash write performance is not improving as fast as disk performance.
3. Flash volume cannot replace disk storage without hundreds of billions dollars in investment.
So if you believe that my assumption that data that is regularly accessed (aka hot data), will be migrated from spinning disk to flash and data that is not used very much (aka cold data) will be migrated from flash to spinning disk, what are going to be the challenges for different implementation of flash cached storage?
All of this is very interesting given the latest release on the drop in revenue for flash storage of 6.6%, which means that there is not likely going to be the hundreds of billions of dollars in investment to replace disk drives.
Here are what I think the challenges are:
1. How do you get data to the right tier of storage at the right time?
2. What is the right tier of storage and how do you know it?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the competing designs methodologies?
First I think it is important to cover the two competing design approaches:
1. Caching on the disk drive
2. Caching at the storage controller
Disk Drive Caching Advantage and Disadvantages
Hybrid disk drives have been on the market for less than a year, and the initial design provided only read caching and did not support write caching. But over time I suspect that will change, along with changes to what disk drives have flash cache and the sizes of flash cache.
Having cache at the disk drive allows for the caching system to place the management and controls at the lowest layer. The storage controller does not have to understand the underlying block structure for each disk drive and each tier – the disk drive itself maintains that in its firmware.
Those are great advantages, but the other side of the coin are that things like data deduplication and compression are not likely as useful as a storage controller that breaks things up into blocks and spreads them across the set of disk drives. You are farther removed from the file, and the topology of the information you are accessing is more difficult to understand.
Storage Controller Caching Advantages and Disadvantages
The storage controller has more knowledge of data layout for files than a disk drive does. (It is too bad we never got ANSI T10 OSD working so we could understand the topology of files, but that that is another story.) The storage controller does not have perfect knowledge of data layout as in the POSIX world. Only the file system and volume manager have that knowledge, but it has far better knowledge than a disk drive.
The storage controller can most likely do a better job at deduplication and compression for data and for some data types that makes sense, but for others that are pre-compressed like video it does not. The problem is that the storage controller must understand the performance and topology of all of the tiers of storage and know what is where and why. You might have idle disks, 5400 RPM disks, 10K RPM disks and a variety of tiers of flash. The other thing is that to really do this well the storage controller needs to be very large to control lots of different storage tiers. Large generally means (at least in the past) expensive.
Data Challenges
The data challenges are likely what you expect given our POSIX world. Even though there is a movement to object storage, scale out object storage file systems that do anything other than mirroring are not common place. Yes, there are products, but we still mostly live in a POSIX application environment, and though we might want that to change quickly, it will not.
Moving Data to Right Tier
With a POSIX file system, as stated, only the volume manager and file system know which disk drives the files are allocated on. For the most part they are only allocated on sequential block address if there is only one write going on at the same time.

The Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) is reminding citizens to take the necessary safety precautions to protect their lives and properties.
You are here
First national research network launched
Minister of Tertiary Education and Skills Training, Fazal Karim launched the first national reasearch network in the region yesterday at a signing ceremony held at the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA), Port-of-Spain. Karim signed a memorandum of understanding between his ministry and the University of the West Indies (UWI), University of Trinidad & Tobago (UTT) and the College of Science, Technology and Applied Arts (Costaatt). Signing with Karim were Costaatt acting president Dr. Gillian Paul, UWI campus principal Prof. Clement Sankat and UTT Prof. Ulrich Rauch. The memorandum establishes guidelines for the T&T Research and Education Network (TTRENT) which was designed in conjuction with Caribbean Knowledge and Learning Network (CKLN) - an inter-governmental Caricom agency.
National research and education networks, known as NRENs, are specialised internet service providers which support the needs of educational institutions. According to Karim, a national NREN is long overdue. He noted that there are more than 100 NRENS worldwide with 40 such networks in Europe alone. Karim said the network sets the environment for creativity and a "national platform for service and development." TTRENT will be operational by the coming school term. Remarks were also given by Ravi Ratiram of the TSTT board of directors and Dr. Fazal Ali, UTT provost. The ceremony included a performance by the group Arts in Action.

text: 1) Monetary Policy-The Fed has cut rates 10 times for a total of 450 basis points lowering the Fed Funds Rate to 2%. 2) Fiscal Policy-The government has injected a powerful fiscal stimulus package into the economy with tax cuts. 3) Energy-Lower energy costs add to economic stimulus effects. The price of oil has dropped drastically. 4) Inflation is nonexistent. 5) IPOs are getting hot again. 6) Jobless claims are dropping. 7) Consumer spending continues. 8) Americans are traveling again. Airports are crazy with people again. Hotel occupancy rates have risen from 20% to over 60% during the past six weeks! 9) There is currently over $3 trillion in money market funds. This money will not stay there forever! 10) The media is STILL negative. The media won't be positive again until we reach a new peak! At that point it is already too late to buy stocks. Remember how excited they got around Nasdaq 5000? It was too late! 11) And maybe the most far-fetched indicator of them all; The Este Lauder Lipstick Indicator. Este Lauder contends that lipstick sales increase as the economy begins to recover. They said sales of lipstick is up over 500% in some areas! 12) Maybe most importantly, since the government just admitted that we are in a recession, it most likely means that we are on our way out of it! 13) Oh yeah, what about the argument for high PEs? As quickly as analysts lowered earnings, professional managers believe analysts will begin to raise them! That will lower PE numbers very quickly (overnight in some cases)! Now you see why Dow 15,000 may be here quicker than you think! We have just started the next leg of the bull market. While the stock market should have never pulled back as much as it did, you MUST use this as an opportunity!

Every year, seven Transitional Interns are chosen for the Transitional Year Residency program based on the applicant's commitment to the practice of medicine, their interests and life experiences, the strengths of their academic records, and their ability to work collaboratively.
They have been drawn traditionally from highly regarded medical schools in the U.S. We actively recruit minority applicants. House officers hold appointments as "Clinical Fellows in Medicine" at Harvard Medical School. They have access to the Countway Medical and other libraries, and to all University athletic facilities, housing services and other standard amenities.
Applications are accepted only through Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). Your application must include USMLE scores, dean's letter, transcript, and 3 Letters of recommendation, one of which is from a U.S. hospital where you have completed your Medicine Clerkship/Subinternship.
Interviews are by invitation only. The interview day begins with an introductory group session, followed by individual interviews, informal meetings with current residents and tours of the hospital. Interviewees are invited to visit the hospital any time to meet house and attending staff, to attend inpatient work and visit rounds, primary care or specialty conferences, and to observe an ambulatory care site. Individual arrangements can be made with Ms. Linda Fowler, the Residency Program Coordinator. We are strongly committed to affirmative action, and welcome applications from U.S. trained minority medical students. Minority faculty and house officers would be pleased to meet with students considering our program to discuss the quality of training as well as day-to-day life in our community.
