As a mom, craft connoisseur, and tech enthusiast, Ventura Rangel has set out to use her creative ability to build her own future. From an early age she has been inventing new ways to capitalize on her passion for turning ideas into creations.

On Thursday night, the first night she was officially ours, she kept us up all night, just like a newborn. I don't know what was the matter, the hotel I guess- although we've been away from home before, but she cried most of the night. She spent the night in our bed, mostly not sleeping. How ironic that she would act like a newborn that night! She has been fine since.
It is so nice to have this all completed! No more lawyers, or social workers. At least not until or unless we do this again. I'm not ready for it anytime soon, but if God opened another door...
My court statement
From the moment Katrina's birth mom told me she was pregnant I knew I would have a hand in her life. When I was there to witness her birth and held her to feed from her birth mother for the first time and felt her little jaw move, I knew I would be a part of her life. When her birth mother called me to pick Katrina up from day care and take her to a hospital due to a high fever and I rocked her and calmed her I knew there was a special bond with her. I never once dreamed I would be her mom! It seems God had it all in His plan from the beginning. I am so blessed to not only have two boys by birth, but to be chosen to be Katrina's mom.
I have loved Katrina since before I ever knew she would be mine. It has been such a joy to see her transform from a scared and angry baby to a sweet, secure, and joyful toddler. She amazes me every day!
Becoming Katrina's mom has not only made me fall in love with her, but it has made me love our family even more. Seeing my boys love her and take care of her has brought me so much pride and happiness. It makes me love my husband more to see him cherish our little girl.
I can not imagine life without our little girl. She is our princess. I am so excited to see the amazing plans God has for her. I am so blessed to be chosen to be her mother!

Article from the Bury [St Edmunds] Free Press website, 18 November 2012.
RAF Honington supports a 500 miles push
Published on Wednesday 14 November 2012 17:09
Members of 1Sq RAF Regiment and 1 Royal Tank Regiment showed their support for a former comrade's 500 mile wheelchair push.
Former RAF Gunner Sean Atherton, from Yorkshire, was at RAF Honington on Wednesday to add a few more miles to his Push 500 Mile Challenge to raise money for the RAF Association, RAF Benevolent Fund, Flying Scholarships for Disabled People, Aerobility and Forgotten Heroes.
Sean has done about 300 miles since May, much of it on RAF bases but, as he served in the Parachute Regiment before joining the RAF Regiment, he also pushed around the drop zones used in the 1944 'Bridge Too Far' Arnhem raid in Holland.
Sean, who broke his neck in a motorcycle accident in Cyprus in 1993, said: "I've been a recipient of all these charities except Forgotten Heroes and after I flew solo it was such an emotive experience I thought I had to do something."
His inspiration for doing 500 miles was that Forgotten Heroes' patrons include The Proclaimers who had hit with a song called 500 Miles. They mentioned him at a concert in York and got him a standing ovation then walked his first lap with him.
On Wednesday he was joined by Luke Delahunty who was also put into a wheelchair by a motorcycle accident while serving at Honington.
They had never met before but Luke said: "We're both ex-RAF Regiment, both did a flying scholarship, both had accidents. We have too much in common not to meet up and I've benefitted from the charities he's supporting."

Star Wars The Snare by Lucas Film Press was in fact a great read. Linda and her brother just witnessed her parents being taken away by the Imperial Navy (Captain Korda). They explained to the parents that they enforce peace, but when they do not get exactly what they want it is dangerous. Luckily the two kids escaped and are traveling with their family robot CR-8R in the space craft the Whisper Bird. The system failed and all the control panels fail as they crash into imperial territory. They soon encounter Captain Korda and set up a plan to get away. Successful, they start the search for their lost parents. I rate his book a five out of five. Lucas Film Press did an amazing job with this book. I recommend it.

Last week we launched Round 3 Cycle A of Global Connections (GC), and I encourage you to look over the guidelines and apply. Read about past recipients' projects to learn the many different ways American theatre artists are collaborating with their international colleagues. Here on the Circle, Chicago Shakespeare Theater's (CST) recent post about their GC collaboration with the Australian artist collective One Step at a Time Like This got me thinking about how theatres are increasingly crossing more than just national borders.
For example, take CST's collaboration with One Step on Since I Suppose, their immersive, ambulatory, app-supported adaptation of Measure for Measure. While rooted in a classical text, the collaboration tells the story through film, mobile devices and the city of Chicago itself. Is this classical theatre or new work? Theatre or film? A play or an event? American or Australian? Online or in-person? The answer, of course, is the classic improv response of "yes, and." It is all those things and more, and the old labels and categories may no longer fit.
I think of the inspiring example of California Shakespeare Theater and Intersection for the Arts' collaborative program, The Triangle Lab, vividly described in Jonathan Moscone's audience engagement address at the 2013 Conference in Dallas. I remember the many innovative models shared in the Conference session led by Rob Melrose of Cutting Ball Theater, "The Classics as New Plays." I applaud Shakespeare Festival St. Louis' SHAKE38 festival for bringing Shakespeare's entire canon to local bars, rooftops and street corners through community-driven partnerships.
Of course, collaborations between theatres of different sizes and aesthetics isn't new; and theatres have been immersing their processes in communities and participatory practices for decades. However, the rising number of these collaborations across size, aesthetics, disciplines, sectors, cultures and more makes me wonder if we must adapt our definitions to be more flexible, remixed and hybridized; embracing our beautiful multiplicities of identity. I picture the theatre-goer of the (very-near) future choosing their play like a seasoned veteran of Starbucks: "Yes, may I have a site-specific, feminist adaptation of a classic with a participatory online component, please?"
What examples from your own work speak to this boundary-crossing spirit?

Considering that the bathroom can often be regarded among the Bathroom Cabinets Ct in your home, it's natural to wish to think everything about how to make the best design changes.

Today I would like to share a few thoughts about the things that inspire me the most in homemaking. Back in the 1950s we had the catalogues which showed pictures or drawings of houses, rooms, gardens and all the things in them. Hand made doilies, rugs, placemats and blankets were homey additions.
When invited to someone's home it was not uncommon for the lady of the house to ask if you would like to see the rest of her house. As a young girl, I got to see freshly made beds, sparkling clean bathrooms, comfortable living rooms and functional kitchens.
Above: page from an October 1990's Victoria magazine.
Magazines offered some pictures but it was obvious they were not showing real homes. Now we have blogs, which I like so much better. Hospitality in the home seems to have declined, and some people have not been to anyone else's homes in years, so blogs are way of being invited. I am glad so many people around the world open their homes in this way, and share a little of what they do. It often brightens my day to click on a favorite blog, such as Carolyn Aiken or others, to see maybe one short post where they have shared one simple thing.
The old paintings also are of interest. In them I see the house arranged, tea being served, women doing quiet things. Certainly a painting of disorder and filth would not inspire me as much as one with beauty and pleasant things. The same goes for magazines and blogs. If I want to be a better homemaker, I will find the homes where they are showing something of a standard I can look up to.
It does not bother me a bit to see houses that are newer and better than mine. I enjoy seeing someone's living room looking company-ready, especially if my own is on shambles. It cheers me up and gives me hope that I can do the same. Sometimes I look at seasonal online house tours and I enjoy them very much and appreciate that these women share the things they enjoy, from shopping to cooking and the their spiritual lives as well.
When the income is low, or a house is less than ideal, it is encouraging to see so many blogs where the homemaking standards are high. Young women will need to know how to make a home if they have to live in less than ideal circumstances when they start out in their own homes.
Things are looking pretty and green around here, so I took a few pictures. It has been too rainy to mow the grass. I have been given a new screen door and there are some improvements going on.
North west view from my house.
When I look for ways to make my home easier to live in and more comfortable or safe, I do not wish to look at a magazine or a video which shows a gloomy, depressing room with no joy in it. I look for blogs that have a sense of beauty and order, because that is what I would like for my own home.
There is also the friendships that are made through blogging, which form a network of support and company for homemakers.

With the aim of raising funds and bringing greater awareness to the plight of Lesotho's vulnerable children, Prince Harry of Wales and Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, a country in southern Africa, launched the Sentebale Polo Cup at Apes Hill Polo Club in Barbados on Jan. 31.
The princes spent the weekend in beautiful Barbados, visiting children at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital and at the Barbados Museum & Historical Society, where the children greeted them with big smiles and great cheer.

Sentebale was founded by Prince Harry and Prince Seeiso in 2006. The princes formed a fantastic friendship two years earlier when Prince Harry spent part of his gap year volunteering in Lesotho. Having bonded over their shared passion for helping the orphaned and vulnerable children in the country, Sentebale was launched to support the incredible work being carried out by grassroots organizations and committed individuals who have the heart but lack professional managers and accountants to ensure charitable longevity. Sentebale, which means "forget me not" in Sesotho, the language of Lesotho, also stands as a powerful commemoration of the princes' mothers, and their tireless work for bettering the lives of children around the world.
The sun was hot and spirits high at the Apes Hill Polo Club on Jan. 31 where Sir Charles William generously hosted the inaugural Sentebale Polo Cup, an exclusive event meant to direct attention and much needed funding towards lifting Lesotho out of the depths of despair, one child at a time.

Sentebale's win was a wonderful end to an exciting match and a sincere start to what both princes have promised to be a long and dedicated relationship with Lesotho's most vulnerable. The Sentebale Cup is sure to become a memorable annual event that will ensure Lesotho is never forgotten.

Deep Skin is an award-winning cannabis topical, hand-crafted from the best carrier oils and whole, organic herbs available, many from our own medicinal herb garden. It was originally made to meet the needs of the designer's father, who has severely sun-damaged skin and a history of skin cancer, and her grandmother, who suffers from arthritis and joint deterioration.
As seen in the Sacramento Bee.
Loaded With Anti-inflammatory Compounds
Deep Skin is designed to absorb quickly, and penetrates deeply. It is created by infusing the highest quality carrier oils with whole, organically produced herbs, including raw cannabis. We selected herbs that have been used for centuries to reduce inflammation and relieve pain, and infuse them into our carrier oils at low temperatures over a long period of time in order to maximize the concentration of beneficial compounds in the final product. In addition to relieving pain and inflammation, these compounds help restore damaged skin and may help prevent skin cancer. Research into the anti-proliferative properties of raw cannabis is ongoing.
Rich in Skin Healthy Vitamins and Omegas
Deep Skin is packed full of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9, as well as skin nourishing vitamins A, D, and E. The unique oil blend restores cell membranes, protects against free radical and UV damage, and absorbs very quickly, carrying the infused medicinal compounds from the herbs deeply into tissues where they can be most effective.
No Fuss, No Mess, No Stink
Deep Skin is intentionally designed to have a neutral scent that does not smell like cannabis. The various herbs and oils combine into a nutty, sweet, and earthy aroma with just a bit of spice from the ginger essential oil, but it isn't a strong scent and won't carry with you throughout the day. The roll-on bottle is discreet, easy to use, can be carried just about anywhere in a pocket or purse, and doesn't waste any of the product. Despite it's small size, a 10ml bottle of Deep Skin lasts most users 6-8 weeks.
Customer Feedback
"I have been using the oil for 3 months and it has helped me so much. I have arthritis in both hands and I really didn't want to live on medicines. For anyone suffering with arthritis it is so worth giving this try."
– Patti P, California
"I have been using Deep Skin for around three weeks for the arthritis in my hands and am amazed at the short time it takes to feel relief. I have used other cannabis infused creams and this product is far superior."
– John H, California
"I have been using Deep Skin Penetrating Oil for a few weeks now and it has been such a blessing to have found this product. I have Plantar Fasciitis in my left foot and walking was so painful that I was becoming sedentary. What a difference this oil has made. The dispensing bottle is genius. So easy to apply and does not waste it."
– Gwen C, California

I really love the Leica M7 and the Elmarit 90mm f2.8 is a great portrait lens. When I shot the digital photoset of Ross' Nagasawa, I also got a few with the Leica. One noticeable difference between film and digital is the highlight detail you can get from film that just ends up getting lost in digital.

WASHINGTON - A House subcommittee on Thursday took up consideration of a measure that would slow the SECs work to establish a uniform fiduciary standard that would apply to investment advisors and broker-dealers. The measure was just one in a set of legislative proposals that would roll back provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.
Supporters of the draft bills presented argued that they would create safeguards against burdensome Dodd-Frank regulations, regulations they say will have the perverse effect of stifling market activity and even harming investors.
One of the proposals, authored by U.S. Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo., would require the SEC to identify and articulate a specific harm to retail investors before imposing new fiduciary obligations on broker-dealers.
Additionally, Wagners legislation would require the SEC's chief economist to conduct a thorough study that "assesses the qualitative and quantitative costs and benefits of the rule" before moving forward with a uniform fiduciary standard. The Dodd-Frank bill authorized, but did not mandate, the SEC to implement a uniform fiduciary rule, which the agency endorsed in a study released in January 2011.
"It seems to me that we have a solution in desperate search of a problem, and the solution could end up harming investors more than helping them," Wagner said. She cited statements from two SEC commissioners who dissented from the Commissions endorsement, both of whom warned that a uniform fiduciary standard could create new areas of confusion in the market and curtail the financial services available to retail investors.
"You don't protect investors by simply restricting their choices and adopting a one-size-fits-all regulatory regime, said Wagner. In fact, I would submit that this does more harm than good. She said the SEC had provided no evidence to support its claims that investors were being harmed or disadvantaged by the current standards. Nor, she said, did it offer proof that the Commissions proposal would help those investors.
Wagner is also the author of a bill that would prohibit the SEC from establishing rules requiring registered firms to disclose political contributions.
Several of the witnesses at Thursday's hearing, convened by the Financial Services Committee's Subcommittee on Capital Markets and Government-Sponsored Enterprises, were generally supportive of the proposals to curb Dodd-Frank regulations, including Wagner's fiduciary legislation.
But Mercer Bullard, an associate professor at the University of Mississippi School of Law, argued that while the spirit of a rigorous regulatory analysis -- to ensure that new rules do more good than harm -- is laudable, in practice, Wagner's bill could have the effect of splintering the enforcement landscape by inviting scores of legal challenges that could result in various interpretations of the fiduciary responsibilities for financial professionals.
"Fiduciary claims are the most common claim in FINRA arbitration proceedings," Bullard said.
"When you take away the SEC's ability to define a fiduciary duty, you guarantee that there will be dozens of versions of fiduciary duty promulgated by dozens of sources of authority," he added. "Excessive cost-benefit [analyses] of the standard ultimately promote the development of non-uniform enforcement-based law."
The Financial Planning Coalition, an umbrella group that advocates for a uniform fiduciary standard, warned in a statement that Wagner's bill "could add a roadblock to implementation of a key Dodd-Frank provision" with requirements that "frustrate[s] any ongoing efforts to increase standards of care for financial professionals."
Damon Silvers, the AFL-CIO's director of policy and special counsel, was blunter in his opposition to Wagner's bill, citing the current regulatory gap that he says holds broker-dealers to an insufficient standard of accountability.
"Currently brokers have no legal duty to give investors advice that is actually in the client's interest," Silvers said, saying that each of the legislative proposals that the capital markets subcommittee is considering "is wrongheaded in its own peculiar way."
Wagner's fiduciary proposal is still only a discussion draft, but the subcommittee also weighed in on three other bills that members have formally introduced.
One of those bills, the Small Business Capital Access and Job Preservation Act, would exempt advisors to private equity funds that aren't excessively leveraged from having to register with the SEC as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. Supporters of the measure argue that the private-equity field does not pose any systemic risk to the financial sector, and that imposing SEC oversight on fund advisors could dry up capital investment.
"It's important to note that private equity funds did not cause the financial crisis," said Rep. Robert Hurt, (R-Va.), the sponsor of the legislation. "By eliminating unnecessary regulation, this bill seeks to expand capital formation."
Further, the type of investor that plays in private-equity markets is of a very different profile than the retail customers the SEC has in mind with its fiduciary rule for broker-dealers, according to Marc Reich, president of Ironwood Capital, who testified on behalf of the Small Business Investor Alliance.
"Our investors are not individuals, they are large financial institution," Reich said. "It's not Ma and Pa Kettle showing up with their savings in a coffee can asking to invest in private equity."
Another bill before the subcommittee would repeal the Dodd-Frank requirement that publicly traded companies report executive compensation alongside their financial performance in annual proxy statements, as well as the provision mandating that SEC filings must contain a ratio expressing the CEO's compensation relative to the median employee salary.
The fourth bill would bar the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board from stipulating that companies enlist a specific firm for an audit, or that they routinely rotate auditors to ensure independence and objectivity, as the board had proposed in August 2011.
"This is an example where the PCAOB has left its field of regulation and gotten into corporate governance," said Thomas Quaadman, vice president of the Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the country's leading business lobby and a forceful opponent of Dodd-Frank that is now supporting the proposed measures to limit the bill's regulatory sweep.

Trained police officers and volunteers will search the flooded Dyfi river for any signs of the missing schoolgirl, while 100 mountain rescue volunteers and 20 dog handlers scour the land.
Police have received 400 calls from members of the public today, following a press conference and emotional appeal from April's family.
Officers this afternoon disclosed they were searching 20 different local scenes and confirmed they had sealed off rural properties including farm houses.
Speaking at a press conference, Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan, from Dyfed Powys Police, said officers were actively pursuing lines of inquiry in a bid to find the missing schoolgirl.
Supt Ian John warned the terrain and geography of the area was "very challenging", adding: "It's been described to me as hostile".
Saying the ground was "treacherous and wet", he promised the force were utilising "highly skilled, trained and motivated" specialist teams to find April.
He disclosed they were using a team of kayakers to search the river, and said the RNLI has loaned two vessels to help. A further 100 specialist search officers are working alongside three of the UK's foremost experts in the search for missing persons.
The scope of the search was "unprecendented" in the UK, he said.
Senior officer have pledge they are "in no way scaling back their operation" in the search for April and remain "completely focused and committed" to finding the five-year-old.
Earlier today, April Jones's mother Coral broke down and wept as she begged the public to "please, please, please help find" her missing daughter.
Speaking at an emotional press conference, Mrs Jones, 40, begged for help before breaking down.
"It has been 36 hours since April was taken from us," she said.
"There must be someone out there who knows where she is and can help the police find her. We are desperate for any news.
"April is only five years old. Please, please, please help find her."
Mrs Jones was then comforted by April's step grandfather Dai Smith as she put her head in her hands and sobbed.
This afternoon police sealed off a stretch of river downstream from where Mark Bridger was arrested. Officers in boats and canoes have spent the afternoon combing the bank.
A farmhouse two miles from the Dyfi river has been sealed off.
April Jones and Mark Bridger (PA)
The appeal came as it emrged that April was a regular playmate of two of Mark Bridger's children, who had been with her just hours before she was taken from near her home in Machynlleth, north Wales.
Mr Bridger, 46, had split from their mother Elaine, but often returned to the Brynygog estate in Machynlleth to visit them and was a friend of the Jones family.
Neighbour Amy Fenner, 21, said: "It's not the first time they have been in his vehicle. They had got into the van two days before the abduction."
The father-of-six, who has an ex-wife and three former partners living in Machynlleth, fathering six children, is being interviewed by police following his arrest on suspicion of April's abduction yesterday afternoon.
His former partner Elaine Dafydd, who lives close to April's home, has another daughter by her new partner, and she was with April when Mr Bridger offered them a ride in his Land Rover last week.
Mark Bridger's Land Rover Discovery
Miss Fenner said: "April was playing with her friends and it has come out that they have been in the van before.
"They drove them down the road from the estate and chatted with them. I don't know if it was just the three little girls who rode in the van or some of their other friends as well."
April's parents Coral, 40, and Paul, 43, are due to make a live television appeal later today for information on their daughter's whereabouts.
Earlier, Detective Superintendent Reg Bevan, from Dyfed Powys Police, released a picture of Mr Bridger and appealed for anyone who had seen him between 5pm on Monday and 3.30pm on Tuesday to come forward.
He also appealed for sightings of Mr Bridger's metallic blue Land Rover Discovery, registration number L503 MEP, which was seized in a repair garage in Machynlleth.
April was last seen getting into a Land Rover-type vehicle at around 7pm on Monday.

When he was 33 years old, Barack Obama wrote Dreams From My Father, a haunting rumination on race and identity. The book helped craft the narrative of his life that helped him to win the presidency in 2009.
The central figure in that narrative was his father, Barack Hussein Obama Snr, a member of the Luo tribe from Kenya who had married a white Kansas girl, Ann Dunham, who was already pregnant with his child, when they were studying at the University of Hawaii at the start of the Sixties.
In Obama's memoir his father is a ghostly figure. After casually abandoning his (second) family when the future president was two, father and son spent only a month together, when Barry Obama, as he was then known, was 10.
His father in Africa was a figure of fascination to the little boy as he grew up in Honolulu and Jakarta. At school he told his friends that his father's tribe was "full of warriors". His father, he insisted, needed to settle tribal feuds before he would be able to receive his son as a visitor.
Ultimately, Obama concluded that even in his absence his father's strong image had given him "some bulwark with which to grow up, an image to live up to or disappoint". His memoir ends with a trip to Kenya that dispels many illusions, revealing Obama Snr as a drunkard and a professional failure.
The full truth, as this almost unremittingly depressing book outlines, was much worse. Obama Snr turns out to have been little short of a monster. He sired at least five, possibly seven, children by four wives. He beat one wife (Ruth Baker, number three) viciously, and ordered her out of the marital bed to make way for a woman he had met out drinking.
As portrayed here, he was an inveterate liar, a sponger and a braggart obsessed with the sexual conquest of women. He drank heavily (he was nicknamed "Double Double" after the way he drank his preferred Johnnie Walker Black Label) and died when he slammed his truck into a tree.
Sally H Jacobs, a long-time Boston Globe reporter, has amassed much damning evidence, but she shies away from its almost inevitable conclusions. She seems to feel it is her duty to defend Obama Snr even while presenting the case against him. Thus she takes issue with Harvard for kicking Obama Snr out, and the United States for expelling him. By then, however, Obama Snr was a bigamist who had deserted two wives and three children and was engaged in a "relentless pursuit of women" on campus and in bars. He had serious financial problems and constantly lied to officials.
Jacobs partly explains away the womanising with the eyebrow-raising statement that her subject was "a man of Africa". She insists he worked hard, and often refers to his "obvious intellectual gifts", though his academic grades were generally modest and he never achieved his PhD despite styling himself "Dr". At one point Jacobs describes him, without apparent irony, as "a manifestation of the uprising of oppressed peoples around the world".
The book's power to bewilder is enhanced by a huge cast of characters, and by the lack of a family tree.
But there is much here that is new and startling. Jacobs builds a strong case that a 21-year-old Obama Snr seduced Elizabeth Mooney, a white American spinster, aged 43, who was teaching him English, and who later helped fund his studies in America; she has also uncovered files stating that President Obama's mother, Ann, considered giving him up for adoption; and there is a strong suggestion that Obama Snr's death, at 46, was suicide: three days before the crash that killed him he had talked to his fourth wife about financial arrangements if he died.
One problem Jacobs has encountered is that many of the Kenyan Obamas have previously offered divergent accounts of key facts. President Obama's grandfather, it now appears, was never imprisoned or tortured by the British, as his grandmother claimed in 2008; Obama Snr was not a member of the famous first student airlift from Kenya to the US in 1959, as his son has repeatedly (and doubtless in good faith) stated – in fact, he was rejected for that scheme; Obama Snr's first wife, Kezia, claims he fathered four rather than two of her children, but Jacobs is sceptical. Four of Obama Snr's five confirmed children have written books, and there is a strong sense that the African relatives are cashing in on the President's fame.
Summing up, Jacobs declares that Obama Snr "achieved ambitions that many Kenyans of his generation could not have begun to fathom", that he "spoke truth to power" and that he was a bird who "had flown high and far".
In reality, however, he achieved almost nothing. He would never have merited such attention if the son he never really knew (and who grew up to be everything he was not) had not attained the American presidency.
Every boy, most would feel, should have a father in his life. On this evidence, however, President Barack Obama was fortunate his was elsewhere. And while Jacobs is doubtless correct that Obama Snr would have been proud of Obama Jnr, he did little to deserve such a son, or such a legacy.

The battle over the fate of Yahoo! remained up in the air last night as the struggling Web icon intensified discussions about a deal with Time Warner's AOL unit, while its main suitor, Microsoft, looked to partner with News Corp. in an effort to boost its chances of succeeding with its takeover offer.
As The Post originally reported, Yahoo! has been holding serious negotiations with Time Warner centered on combining its AOL Web portal with Yahoo! to create a new entity in which Time Warner would own roughly 20 percent.
According to sources familiar with the talks, the structure of the possible deal is complex and there are several issues, including the value of AOL, that have yet to be worked out.
Under the proposed plan, the deal, which wouldn't include AOL's dial-up access business, would involve Yahoo! using cash from the transaction and additional funds to buy back several billion dollars worth of its own stock at a price between $30 and $40 a share, sources said.
While the deal would not require a vote of Yahoo! shareholders for approval, the company plans to put any deal to a vote anyway, sources said.
Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes has been trying to unload the struggling AOL unit as it faces increasing competition from Google and others.
Meanwhile, as Microsoft gets increasingly frustrated with rejections of its $42 billion offer for Yahoo!, sources said the software giant is in discussions with News Corp. to structure a deal that would combine its MSN unit and News Corp.'s MySpace social networking site with Yahoo!. News Corp. publishes The Post.
Though those talks are at a sensitive stage and could fall apart, it would allow Microsoft to increase the overall value that it could provide to Yahoo!'s shareholders, sources said.
News Corp. has been in talks to swap MySpace for a stake in Yahoo! for some time, but could not come up with a valuation that would top Microsoft's existing $31 a share offer, sources said.
"This has got some legs," said one source close to the Microsoft-News Corp. talks.
Yahoo! yesterday also announced a two-week partnership with Google to carry some of the Web giant's search ads in what sources said could be a first-step toward a deal with AOL.

New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services
Division of Municipal Supply Services: Central Storehouse Inventory
The New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services provides support services to other City agencies. Its Division of Municipal Supply Services manages a central storehouse that is responsible for purchasing, stocking and distributing items ordered by City agencies. We examined the controls over inventories at the storehouse and found that improvements were needed. In particular, inventory levels at the storehouse were not independently verified and inventory-related duties were not adequately separated among different employees to prevent certain employees from having too much control over the inventories. We also found that reported investigations of inventory discrepancies were not documented and appropriate corrective actions were not taken. We recommended that certain actions be taken to strengthen the controls over inventories at the central storehouse.

Information Security : The Missing Link
Category : Uncategorized
Why do some people try to breach security of information infrastructure ? Extremely talented, sometimes their works (when nabbed) show signs of genius but most of the time, their core objective all too mundane : money, fame, revenge or simply the ego of any criminal – "I cannot be caught."
We must understand that machines (at least as of now) do not have these feelings. These feelings can only come to Human beings.
Now, just consider that your stakeholders are human beings. There is a Bengali saying : "সর্ষের মধ্যে ভূত" – there is a legend that mustard seeds are protective against evil spirits (like in Slavic legend, onion is supposed to be protection against vampires ). But what happens if the spirit enters into the very mustard or the very onion.
The ultimate vulnerability is when the very protection which we trust becomes personified threat.
There is no technology here. It is plain human vulnerability.
Sherlock Holmes to Watson, while describing the essence of his greatest rival and almost impenetrably malevolent foe, Dr. Moriarty – "… there are some trees that grow healthy but after sometime, they show eccentricities."
Your trusted employee, your trusted shareholder, your most trusted gatekeeper can show those eccentricities sometime…. It has happened and will always happen.
A New York Judge convicts a man of Indian origin of sterling reputation till his 65th year (Mr. Rajat Gupta, ex-Mckinsey Chief) and tells :"… History of this this and the world show that good man do bad things."
Is there any way to know when this terrible shift may happen with a person ?
Yes, there is….
Infocon 2016 will discuss this theme that is almost never questioned.
But we must. How painful and tough the question may be, we must. This silence is a weakness.
The strongest part of a security system, any system is its weakest link.

The Pittsburgh Steelers started 2009 on a euphoric note, winning their sixth championship with a heart-stopping victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII.
It was the Steelers' second title in four years. Ben Roethlisberger, 26 at the time, had two rings and was in the prime of his career. He wouldn't jeopardize all that by getting into trouble off the field, would he?
The Steelers added nine players in the 2009 NFL Draft. It seemed the rich would only get richer and a dynasty was in the making. What could possibly go wrong?
The world in 2009 got into an "Empire State of Mind" thanks to Jay-Z with some help from Alicia Keys. That anthem became sort of a 21st-century version of Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York."
Celebrity deaths took a heavy toll in 2009. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both died June 25. Also dying that summer were 1980s teen filmmaker John Hughes and Patrick Swayze.
Less notable but more foreboding for the Steelers in a parallel-universe kind of way was the death of 97-year-old Millvina Dean, the last Titanic survivor.
The Steelers were about to hit an iceberg in the form of a five-game losing streak that ruined their 2009 season, but who could have known that on draft day?
The more recent the draft, the more fluid the grades become in our analysis of the Steelers' round-by-round draft value. Players drafted in 2009 and thereafter are still works in progress.
For an explanation of our grading system, click here.
Evander "Ziggy" Hood, DE: It's hard to gauge Hood's contribution so far. First-round picks normally are expected to make an eye-popping impact. As a defensive lineman, however, Hood's job is to occupy blockers while the linebackers and defensive backs fill up the stat sheet. Hood had career highs in 2012 with 25 total tackles and three passes defended. He also matched his career high with three sacks. Perhaps the biggest feather in Hood's cap has been his durability. He's made 31 consecutive starts, including the Steelers' 2011 playoff game at Denver. Hood hasn't been a bust. He's never made a Pro Bowl, either, and we have to stick to our grading system even if it isn't fair to him. He's held to the same standard as an early first-round pick even though he was the last player chosen in the first round. Hood just turned 26 and has plenty of time to improve this grade. Value: 2 Differential: Minus-1
Kraig Urbik, OL: The Steelers gave up on Urbik too soon. He never got into a game and was waived in 2010. The Buffalo Bills picked him up, and he's started 26 games at both guard and center over the past two seasons. Pro Football Focus via Rotoworld rated Urbik as one of the NFL's top 25 guards in 2012. However, we only grade based on what a player accomplished with the Steelers. Value: 8 Differential: Minus-5
Mike Wallace, WR: The book is likely closed on Wallace's career with the Steelers. He's an unrestricted free agent and the salary cap-strapped Steelers can't give him the mega-contract he wants. The speedy Wallace loaded up the highlight reel during his four years in Pittsburgh. He led the NFL with 19.4 yards per reception in his rookie season. In 2010, he caught 60 passes, averaging 21 yards per catch, with 10 touchdowns for the AFC-champion Steelers. In Super Bowl XLV, Wallace caught nine passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in a losing effort. Wallace made the Pro Bowl in 2011, catching a career-high 72 passes with eight touchdowns. His production declined in the second half of the season as defenses doubled him up, and his yards per reception dipped to 16.1. Wallace caught 64 passes with eight touchdowns in 2012. His yards per catch fell to 13.1, partly because he expanded his route tree a little and caught a few more balls in traffic. Wallace will get his big payday somewhere else, but his productivity will depend on who's throwing the ball. Losing Wallace certainly won't help the Steelers, but they have bigger worries heading into 2013. Value: 1 Differential: Plus-2
Keenan Lewis, CB: Lewis's value grade would be a lot different if this series were done a year ago. He had a breakout season in 2012, breaking up 23 passes according to STATS LLC via the Washington Post. Only the Seahawks' Richard Sherman, with 24, had more passes defended. Lewis started all 16 games in 2012 opposite Ike Taylor. Despite dealing with knee and hip injuries, Lewis did his best to keep the Steelers' secondary afloat in December after Taylor was lost for the season with an ankle injury. Lewis has one career interception, so his ball skills leave something to be desired, but then again so do Taylor's. The Steelers took a wait-and-see approach on re-signing Lewis last year. Now he's an unrestricted free agent and the Steelers must find a way to keep him. Value: 2 Differential: Plus-1
Joe Burnett, CB: For Steelers fans, the lasting image of Burnett will be his dropped interception in the final minute of the Steelers' 27-24 home loss to the Oakland Raiders in 2009. Had Burnett held onto the ball, it would have sealed a win and ended a three-game losing streak. Instead, Bruce Gradkowski threw the game-winning touchdown pass with 15 seconds remaining, and Burnett's drop became emblematic of the Steelers' five-game losing streak. They finished 9-7 and needed just one more win to make the playoffs. Burnett played just one season with the Steelers, appearing in 15 games. Burnett gets the grade normally applied to "busts" in our system. A fifth-round pick can't really be labeled a bust, but it's the number that best fits. Burnett had more than just a cup of coffee in Pittsburgh, so he's better than a 7, but the Steelers didn't think enough of him to keep him for more than a year, so he doesn't deserve a 5. That dropped ball doesn't help, either. Value: 6 Differential: Minus-1
Frank "The Tank" Summers, RB: The Steelers hoped the 5'10", 240-pound Summers could be a bowling ball of a blocker in the backfield. But he played in just two games for the Steelers. Value: 7 Differential: Minus-2
RaShon "Sonny" Harris, DT: Harris didn't make the team. Value: 8 Differential: Minus-2
A.Q. Shipley, C: Shipley is another offensive lineman from this draft who is still in the NFL, just not with the Steelers. Shipley never dressed for the Steelers, but hung on in the league and started five games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2012. Value: 8 Differential: Minus-1
David Johnson, TE: Johnson is the saving grace of the late rounds in this draft. An injury wiped out his 2012 season, but he's been a serviceable blocking tight end and has 18 career receptions. He started eight games combined in 2009 and 2010 and started every game in 2011. Value: 3 Differential: Plus-4
Overall Differential: Minus-5
Overall Value Grade: B
Conclusion: The Steelers' streak of drafts without a first-round bust won't be broken here, even if Ziggy Hood remains merely adequate. The Steelers didn't give Kraig Urbik much of a chance, but they more than made up for it with Mike Wallace and Keenan Lewis in the third round. Their next four picks amounted to virtually nothing, but David Johnson has been a pleasant surprise for a seventh-rounder. If Hood improves and the Steelers can re-sign Lewis, there's a chance the value grade for this draft will go up.

Let this serve as your daily dose of cute. These two English Sheepdog sisters have been photographed frisking about the place like the best buds they are.
From playing on a see-saw, watching a sunset, leaning on a fence with identical pony tails, to wearing Santa hats around the Christmas tree, these adorable long-haired sisters certainly know how to ham it up for the camera.
In addition to the duo shots, the two sisters – named Sophie (6 years-old) and Sarah (4 years-old) – also appear alongside other members of their family as they ramble across beautiful Dutch and Austrian countryside.
Photographed by their owner and amateur photographer Cees Boll, you can see the series below. Via

Abu Dhabi, AE
Metered taxis are a safe and comfortable way to get to both cities. Journey time into Abu Dhabi is 35-50 minutes, and to Dubai, 50-70 minutes.
Cost: Around AED 60-70 to Abu Dhabi, AED 300 to Dubai
Location: Clearly signposted taxi pick-up areas at the lower level outside Arrivals in all terminals
Bus to Abu Dhabi
The A1 city bus leaves every 40 minutes, 24-hours a day, and takes you to the Old Fish Market on Al Nasr Street (near NYU Abu Dhabi) in around 45 minutes.
Cost: AED 4
Location: Outside Terminals 1 and 3 (lower level, where the Etihad buses stop), and outside Terminal 2
Free Etihad shuttle buses
If you're flying with Etihad Airways, you can take a free shuttle bus to Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain. Just make a coach request at least 24 hours before your flight. The coaches are clearly signposted at the lower level of the Arrivals hall. The journey to Dubai takes around 75 minutes, and drops you off at Etihad Travel Mall.
Car hire offices are located at Skypark Plaza, opposite terminal 3. Skypark is accessible from terminal 2 via free inter-terminal shuttle bus. The following car rental agencies are available: Europcar, Hertz, Dollar, Budget, Thrifty and Payless.
Abu Dhabi International Airport lies around 30km east of the city centre. It serves mostly Etihad Airways, the second largest airline in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after Emirates.
The airport has three terminals:
Travelling between terminals
Terminals 1 and 3 are beside each other, with a 20-minute walk in between.
Terminal 2, however, is 2km away from Terminal 1. You can take a free shuttle between the terminals, running every 15 minutes. The stops are outside Terminal 1 at Entrance 5 (upper level) and Terminal 2 in front of Departures.
Check-in before you leave the city
To save time, you can check in in the 'City Terminal' in downtown Abu Dhabi before you head to the airport. It's an airport-like facility, with lounge and transport to the airport. Once you've checked in here, you can arrive at the airport just one hour before you fly. If you're flying with Etihad, you can also check in at the Etihad Travel Mall on the outskirts of Dubai.
If you want to drop-off your luggage or secure a particular seat 24 hours before your flight, using a remote check-in kiosk is a great option. There are four remote check-in sites: City Terminal (across from the Abu Dhabi Mall), the Abu Dhabi International Airport Expo Check-In (at ADNEC on Al Khaleej Al Arabi 30th Street), the Park Rotana Hotel Abu Dhabi, and the Crowne Plaza in Abu Dhabi Yas Island.
There is a fee of AED 30 (USD 8) per adult and AED 20 (USD 5.45) per child for check-in at the City Terminal and the International Airport Expo for luggage delivery. There is no charge for self-check-in at the hotels. After checking-in here, you may arrive at the airport just one hour before your flight.

Download citation file: RIS (Zotero) EndNote BibTex Medlars ProCite RefWorks Reference Manager Mendeley © Copyright Tools Search Book Top Return Clip Autosuggest Results ++ Introduction ++ Cardiovascular failure, or shock, can be caused by (1) depletion of the vascular volume, (2) compression of the heart or great veins, (3) intrinsic failure of the heart itself or failure arising from excessive hindrance to ventricular ejection, (4) loss of autonomic control of the vasculature, (5) severe untreated systemic inflammation, and (6) severe but partially compensated systemic inflammation. If the shock is decompensated, the blood pressure or the cardiac output will be inadequate for peripheral perfusion; in compensated shock, the perfusion will be adequate but only at the expense of excessive demands on the heart. Depending on the type and severity of cardiovascular failure and on response to treatment, shock can go on to compromise other organ systems. This chapter discusses the cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders associated with shock. ++ Hypovolemic Shock ++ Diagnosis ++ Hypovolemic shock (shock caused by inadequate circulating blood volume) is most often caused by bleeding but may also be a consequence of protracted vomiting or diarrhea, sequestration of fluid in the gut lumen (eg, bowel obstruction), or loss of plasma into injured or burned tissues. Regardless of the etiology, the compensatory responses, mediated primarily by the adrenergic nervous system, are the same: (1) constriction of the venules and small veins in the skin, fat, skeletal muscle, and viscera with displacement of blood from the peripheral capacitance vessels to the heart; (2) constriction of arterioles in the skin, skeletal muscle, gut, pancreas, spleen, and liver (but not the brain or heart); (3) improved cardiac performance through an increase in heart rate and contractility; and (4) increased sodium and water reabsorption through renin-angiotensin-aldosterone as well as vasopressin release. The result is improved cardiac filling, increased cardiac output (both directly by the increase in contractility and indirectly through increased end-diastolic volumes), and increased blood flow to organs with no or limited tolerance for ischemia (brain and heart). ++ The symptoms and signs of hypovolemic shock are many and can be caused either by the inadequate blood volume or by the compensatory responses. Some manifest themselves early, some late. One of the earliest signs is that of postural hypotension—a fall in the systolic blood pressure of more than 10 mm Hg that persists for more than 1 minute when the patient sits up. It can be very useful in patients who are suspected of being hypovolemic from either dehydration or occult internal blood loss (eg, in a patient who might have gastrointestinal bleeding). Other signs will have to be used, however, in very ill patients and in injured patients, who might not tolerate changes in position. ++ Another early sign can make itself known when the physician has difficulty in establishing intravenous access. In addition, the skin might be cold and pale. The pallor, which can be detected in all patients, including those with deeply pigmented skin, is best detected by compressing a toe to produce blanching on ...
