ATMs Face Deadline to Upgrade From Windows XP
One-dollar bills. Envelope-free deposits. Stamp dispensers. These are a few of the features that Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America (BAC), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), and other banks tout as the latest and greatest features of their fleets of ATMs. Its hardly stuff to set the heart racing.
When ATMs were introduced more than 40 years ago, they were considered advanced technology. Today, not so much. There are 420,000 ATMs in the U.S., and on April 8, a deadline looms for nearly all of them that underscores how sluggishly the nations cash delivery system moves forward. Thats the day Microsoft (MSFT) cuts off tech support for Windows XP, meaning that ATMs running the software will no longer receive regular security patches and wont be in compliance with industry standards. Most machines that get upgraded will shift to Windows 7, an operating system that became available in October 2009. (Some companies get a bit of a reprieve: For ATMs using a stripped-down version of XP known as Windows XP Embedded, which is less susceptible to viruses, Microsoft support lasts until early 2016.)

Good to know my personal data PIN etc. are protected by a modern and secure OS....

I think you'll find that that's Windows XP Embedded. Nothing except the OS is actually stored on the ATM. The info is all on the server the ATM talks to when you use it. A lot of POS terminals use it too, like supermarket cash registers. They'll be in the same boat.

i guess all the bailout money went to CEO bonuses after all, certainly not into security.

As far as I know it's a dedicated phone line from the ATM to the server. Communication is also encrypted. You would have to gain physical access to the internals to infect it with malware. They are not connected to the internet if that's what your thinking. There may not even be a hard drive, with an embedded system it could all be on flash ROM. It's not nearly as insecure as your thinking. It's quit a bit different from the XP you run on your home PC.

and if the OS securit doesn't matter becasue on encryption and dedicated phoen line, why are they replacing it at all? If you theory is true, they coudl run XP indefinitely (or at least till they get a new ATM).
I'm not saying you are wrong and I'm not an expert, but having an outdated OS is a risk.
|My System Specs

It all comes down to "what risk"? If said PC never ever connects to the Internet then you would have to have physical access to it to infect it with malware. The majority of security patches issued by Microsoft are to fix flaws that could be exploited from the Internet. If said PC never connects to the Internet where is the risk. I'm not saying they shouldn't dump XP for a more secure OS, but in the case of an ATM you need to put some perspective on it. They likely don't patch ATM machines every patch Tuesday like you do your home PC, there is no need for it. The hardware is fixed and so is the software.
For someone to do what you posted means they would have to have insider info. It's a little more involved to setup a Windows XP embedded setup than it is to just install XP on your home PC. They would also have to have ATM program code that makes the ATM an ATM. It's a very custom image. It's likely very hard for you to get your hands on it even if you work for the bank of the company that makes the ATM's.
What I read from the article is that they "should" upgrade the ATM, not that they necessarily will. That's my spin on it anyway. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Once again we must heard that from MS. When they finally drop support for XP, everthing will continue to run exactly the same as it was the day before it, nothing will break nothing will change (for good or bad). For the final user, MS support means ABSOLUTE NOTHING. I wonder how many times the bank IT guys have actually called them
XP is a great OS, contrary to the MS auto-FUD in favor of 7/8, and when properly configured it can be quite safe is used correctly. Of course, the default configuration is wide open to many security flaws which can easily be solved. The very same thing exists in latter versions too, a bit reduced.
And we must not forget that MS business is precisely that, to promote "upgrades" so that they charge the full price again for the same program with a few more features (that banks in particular will never use), so it's natural they boycott their older programs in favor of newer ones.
Security? Common! Banks are using Windows!!! If they REALLY want a secure system, they would use some Linux-based OS for their terminals, not Windows to begin with. A few lacking updates and patches for a very closed system will not make a real difference, more considering those computers aren't exposed to regular users, except in very limited, tightly controlled ways.

Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1
I work in a facility that houses 6 ATM's owned and maintained by a large regional bank and I occasionally have to work on them. I know they can use a dial-up service to function, but they can also work with a wireless connection....which absolutely blew my mind when I first learned this. Windows XP is vulnerable enough as-is and as far as I know massive ATM hacking hasn't presented itself so obviously it's not that easy to do. I don't trust the "encryption" that is suppose to keep all of this traffic safe because we see and hear stories everyday of how little encryption business and services actually use/employ.....70+ million Target customers now understand that.
I say upgrade to Windows 7 Embedded machines and be done with it. These old ATM machines have served their purpose, time to put them out to pasture.
Also, I was in tech classes with a guy that worked with the local banks and he said the "sensitive" data was handled by Linux based systems.....fwiw.

Really when it comes down to it I would have to say that my favorite group posted on this site is bar none Boards of Canada, and of their albums I especially like "Geogaddi."
Other favorites of mine that are posted on this site are Prefuse 73's album "Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives," Cold Legistics' "Deeper Than You Think," anything and everything by Colleen, as well as Odd Nosdam, Deceptikon and Meaty Ogre. But of coarse its all good music in my oppinion or else I wouldn't have posted it.
Also, pretty much everything that I put in my compilations are songs that I really enjoy listening to. Thank you so much for enjoying this music. I hope its changed your life for the better. Oh, everyone should listen to Villain Accelerate.

Several sources described to CBC how organized crime groups have obtained personal grow licences and are using them to try to hamper police attempts to shut down their operations.
CBC is not naming the sources, who fear reprisal from criminal groups or worry about interfering in criminal investigations.
"We often don't have the the resources to chase down the true identities behind the licences," said one source.
He added there's mounting concern that some organized crime groups have been using the licences to produce a large supply of medical marijuana for some of the illicit dispensaries popping up in cities across Canada.
Health Canada forbids anyone issued personal grow licences from selling their product to others.
Police concern began in 2013
An RCMP report obtained by CBC-Radio Canada through Access to Information suggests alarm bells began ringing about organized crime participation in the medical marijuana market back in 2013, as Health Canada started taking applications for licences to produce and sell medical marijuana to authorized patients.
"The RCMP's initial background checks of applicant ventures have turned up significant hits and raised significant alarm bells inside the Federal Policing program," states the document, which is a report to the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police.
"There is no shortage of organized criminal groups who have applied to produce Medical Marihuana (MM) under Health Canada's new MMPR, including self-proclaimed Hells Angels and associates of transnational organized crime (TOC)."
The MMPR, or Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations, came into effect in 2014 and was supposed to transform the industry, replacing more than 30,000 individuals who were allowed to grow their own product.
However, a Federal Court ruling found the system unconstitutional, and Health Canada has allowed individuals to continue to produce their own stock.
The RCMP document emphasized that "… the Security and Intelligence community should be aware that this is a going concern for our organization, not just the domestic vulnerabilities these new regulations have created, but the international ones as well."
There is no evidence the criminal organizations described in the report actually managed to obtain one of the new production licences, which allow a few dozen producers to sell directly to patients through the mail.
But sources suggest crime groups have been using individual personal grow licences to evade police scrutiny while supplying illicit dispensaries.
Raf Souccar, a retired deputy commissioner of the RCMP and a member of the Trudeau government's cannabis task force, said he's not surprised to hear that organized crime is involved in the illicit dispensary market.
"Because if you're able to supply that quantity of marijuana, you can't do it growing it in your basement," he said.
"Organized crime is behind most of these marijuana dispensaries," Souccar added. "After all, it's a $7-billion industry."
Souccar said he's only heard anecdotal evidence that crime organizations were somehow obtaining legal personal grow licences.

It's National Baked Bean Month!!!
Crunchables: Brand Name Foods, Die-cut Booklets, Monthly Celebrations: July
9 comments:
Enjoy your picnic. I hope you are also celebrating ice cream month.ReplyDelete
hehehe... growing up, I had lots of baked beans out of cans at picnics and stuff, and couldn't understand how people liked it so much -- tasted awful to me. Then, years later, I finally had some made-from-scratch and the light bulb came on :DReplyDelete
I'm glad you're using the "box of fun" idea! The kids don't necessarily get the humor of it, but the adults always do! Have fun.ReplyDelete
How funny! I haven't eaten baked beans out of a tin in years, but I'm in Perth (Western Australia) right now, and I was just at the supermarket the other day, contemplating baked beans on toast.ReplyDelete
Did Heinz use the "Beanz means Heinz" slogan in their ad campaigns in the US, too?
Hi Mae, Well the picnic became a barbecue but none the less, it was enjoyable. I celebrate Ice Cream Month nearly every day. I must admit, I recently had my first DQ Blizzard. Oh my goodness!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Erica, I too gained a much better appreciation for baked beans when they were offered right out of the bean pot and not a tin can.
Hi Marjie, It's a bit of a story but we just never got to "box of fun" I did however have a ball playing Wii!!! Any chance of a Wii ice cream making game? Virtual of course:)
You know Adele, I came "that close" to posting a recipe link for baked beans on toast when I "put the brakes on" in an effort to keep my posts a wee bit shorter. Darn!!! The #1 baked bean purveyor in the states is I believe Bush's Baked Beans. I've never seen that Heinz slogan here. I hope you're having a nice relaxing vaca but I tell you, I for one am missing your posts!!!
When I see baked beans, I tend to think of English Breakfast!ReplyDelete
This post reminded me of the last time I went camping and made some baked beans. Here's a simple recipe for any camping trip: camping baked bean recipeReplyDelete
I think even today, as a "grown up" I still love the idea of hot dogs and baked beans, even though I don't have it as often as I used to. A couple of years ago, I visited London, and a colleague told me that baked beans on toast was delicious. I tried it, and it was fantastic. Now, it is sometimes a "no-fuss" Friday night supper.ReplyDelete
Not the first thing that comes to my mind tigerfish but then, I never knew about baked beans on toast either. A curiosity I will now have to remedy.ReplyDelete
Thanks for that recipe link Andrew, those are the same kinds of beans I think about when the thought of camping nudges my wanderlust.
Oh goodie, there's an idea a new "no fuss" meatless Friday dinner. Even I can whip that up!!! Thanks T.W. I'll give it a try
Through this wide opened gate,
none came too early,
none returned too late.
Thanks for dropping in...Louise

If you suffer from enlarged pores, we totally feel your pain. A lot of products promise to deliver minimized results (but often fall flat) and there's little makeup can do to cover up the issue. Luckily, we found a product that completely clears up enlarged pores (in a clinical study 100 percent of users said they saw a reduced appearance). And because we are so amazed at the BeautyRx Dermstick for Pores stick, we caught up with the creator, dermatologist Dr. Schultz to find what makes this product so powerful.
The first thing you need to know is why exactly you experience enlarged pores in the first place. Top dermatologist Dr. Schultz says it's all because of a build up of "pore sludge" (Gross, we know!) Oil and dead skin cells fill (and overfill) the oil gland causing the pore to get bigger.
Enter, the Dermstick! Dr. Schultz created this easy-to-use stick that causes the pore sludge to dissolve. You can use this at any age, it works for every skin type and you can go ahead and keep using the skin care products already in your arsenal. (So easy, right?)
Just dab a tiny bit on your pores at night, use for two to four weeks and start to see those pores shrink away.

Cool Website Designs that we see on the new website designs are a lot different than the ones that were even a few years back. In the past years, there have been major changes, thanks to HTML5, CSS3 and the jQuery that everyone loves. The impact of these and the trends they've generated is massive on the web design industry.
If before them, we had cool website designs which had a layout based on a standard grid or on a platform that was somehow rigid, nowadays we are having cool website designs that are a lot different. And that is a good thing, because the designs are getting more and more visual and designers are paying a lot more attention to user interface design and user experience.
I'm happy to see the wheels moving forward in web design and I'm inviting you to check out a few of the new designs that fall into this category that I've been talking about.
Geometric shapes are popular as design, navigation elements, framing components or just a way to draw users' attention to some parts of the site. We used to see rectangles and circles as the most well-known geometric objects in web design. But what about using other geometric figures, such as rhombuses, triangles, trapeziums, and even hexagons?
Today you have an amazing opportunity to see that not only simple figures and shapes can be used for creating an effective web design websites, but as you will find below, a huge number of sites all over the web use complex shapes to show off their own unique style. So, enjoy awesome web design websites with extraordinary geometry elements!
Content and substance definitely are important, however let us not forget the importance of creative website design and hosting in getting and retaining readership. Many people never thought that great content and great website design cost are possible together. Well, it is more than possible now.
The world wide web has definitely turned into a more colorful and exciting virtual world to surf, what with unique designs that just get better and better as time passes by. At present, there are a lot great designs out there that you need to check. In fact, we have collected 40 great looking designs that you should not miss. Enjoy these cool and creative website design packages ideas!

Why wait for a special occasion to create a fun hairstyle? This design is simple enough to wear to an evening at the movies with good friends. Spunky and full of pizzazz!
1. Wash and blow dry the hair. Make a zigzag part from the forehead to the crown of the head. Gather the hair at the top of the head in a ponytail at the crown of the head.
2. Grasp the hair at the hairline on one side of the face and divide it into top and bottom sections.
3. Grasp a section of hair on the same side of the head, adjacent to the part and the face. Twist this section of hair, draw it over the top section of hair from Step 2, and then join it with the hair in the bottom section.
4. Take a section of hair from the bottom of the head. Draw it over the bottom section of hair in Step 3 to make an X, and then join it with the hair in the top section.
5. Repeat this process, alternately taking sections of hair from the top and bottom of the head, and weaving each section into one of two main sections.
6. Move your way along this side of the head to make a 2-strand French braid. Rub moisturizing cream on each section of hair to create smooth, clean sections.
7. Make sure you cross the strands of hair close to the scalp so that the braid is tight and secure.
8. The sections of hair should be clearly defined so that you can see that the braid is made from sections that are woven together and increasing in size every time.
9. Continue in this manner, working your way around the back of the head and continuing on the other side. You'll also work in the ends of the hair that were collected in the ponytail.
10. Rub moisturizing cream on each section to make it more clearly defined.
11. Brush each section of hair as you add it to the 2-section braid to keep the look clean and smooth. Also make sure you keep the braid close to the scalp.
12. Continue making the braid until you've integrated all of the loose hair and have reached the ear on the other side of the head.
13. Wrap a hair elastic around the hair at the ear line to secure the braid. Leave the ends loose, as in a ponytail.
14. Wrap a section of hair in the ponytail around the hair elastic to conceal it.
15. Mist with holding spray. If you like, add a floral hair accessory for a decorative finish.

Meeting: Hospital Medicine 2017
Categories: Plenary Presentations, Research Abstracts
Keywords: DEEP VENOUS THROMBOSIS, HOSPITAL ACQUIRED CONDITIONS, TYPE NEW KEYWORD HERE and VENOUS THROMBOEMBOLISM
Hospital-associated venous thromboembolism (HA-VTE) is a serious condition with controversy regarding ideal risk assessment and VTE prophylaxis (VTEP), especially in medical patients. We conducted a collaborative VTE quality improvement project, supported by a charitable grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, in 35 hospitals across three states and assessed the impact on HA-VTE rates.
Data management, order set design, and hosted webinar support were provided centrally. All hospitals formed multi-disciplinary teams to drive local educational efforts and address lapses in VTEP. Interventions included:
- A standardized, 3-bucket risk assessment module linked to a protocol of pharmacologic and mechanical VTEP, embedded in order sets
- 9 "pilot" sites received mentored implementation modeled after SHM collaboratives; 26 "spread" sites did not
- Measure-vention (measurement and real-time correction of defects) was funded in pilot sites and encouraged in spread sites
HA-VTE events (during hospitalization or present on admission within 30 days of prior discharge) were collected from coding data. 2011 was considered the baseline year, 2012-13 intervention years, and 2014 the mature period for comparison. Data collection for VTEP did not begin until 2012-2013. All sites monitored compliance with TJC VTE measures 1&2 ("any" VTEP). Measure-vention sites also determined whether VTEP was adequate according to the protocol.
5370 HA-VTE occurred during 1.16 million admissions during the study period. TJC VTE-1 and 2 performance and protocol appropriate VTEP rates both reached 97% in 2014, up from 2012-13 performance of 78-87%. Across all 35 sites, 428 fewer HA-VTE occurred in 2014 than in 2011 (RR 0.78, 95% CI [0.73 – 0.85]). Pilot sites enjoyed a more robust reduction in HA-VTE than Spread sites (26% vs 20%). Heparin induced thrombocytopenia and adverse effects from anticoagulants were reduced or unchanged (Table). The average annual HA-VTE rate over the study was higher in surgical patients [5.7 (pilot) and 7.3 (spread)/1000] than medical patients (3.3 and 3.6 /1000). In medical patients, most HA-VTE occurred post-discharge (2740 of 3416; 80%); in surgical patients, most occurred during the index admission (1611 of 2630, 61%)(Figure).
Our collaborative QI project was associated with a reduction in HA-VTE across a broad medical-surgical inpatient population. Interventions proved easy to disseminate across multiple hospitals. HA-VTE rates can be improved, even when already low (~0.5%).

Simple smokey eye
All you bloggers that posted olive nails over the past few weeks, you looked gorgeous and i've now officially copied you.
I couldn't take it anymore.
Found an Essence polish in 139 Walk on the wild side.
Not sure how i'm liking it just yet, let's see if it actually stays on longer than a day.
I'll keep you posted on that, but I wanted to share the eye look I created to go with it:
It's.. a brown smokey eye.
Not much to it but it made me feel smoldery for sure LOL!
I applied Urban Decay's glide on eyepencil in Zero all over the top and lower lashline, because it smudges so easily.
Then a shimmery shell in my inner corner.
A beige aaaaaall up in my crease, almost up to the browbone even.
Following up with bronze on my lid, up to right above the crease. (on the outer corner)
The darkest warm brown I kept for my upper & lower lashlines and outer V.
This dark color is the key I think, for hooded eyes. To not make them look droopy.
Keep it confined to the outer corner, and apply it in the same direction you would a liner, up and out.
To finish off, I added a matte bone color right underneath my eyebrows, a thin line of Essence liquid liner and Essence maximum definition mascara (love the wand!!).
My brows have the left top color of the Gosh eyebrow kit brushed through them.
Then for blusher I chose a bright bright pink, and highlighter is Physicians Formula's (I hate writing that name!) Shimmer Strips in Natural Glow.
On my lips there's a sheer orange gloss.
To be honest, I don't really care much for smokey eyes.
Had a lot of trouble with them in the past, having very deep set eyes the dark eyeshadows made them droop down when applied the wrong way.
However i've gotten better at it, and sometimes I just get that kick and want to smudge a liner all over my eye.
What do you think? Your thing or not so much?

Champions League returns to India
The Champions League T20 2013 will be held in India from September 17 to October 6 and there will be no team from England in the tournament. The West Indian champions, who had to play Qualifiers in the last two editions, will feature in the main draw.
The schedule, announced on Friday, has ten teams split in two groups, with the top two in each group making the semi-finals. Eight teams have been seeded directly into the main competition and will be joined by two of the four qualifiers.
One of those qualifiers is the Pakistan side Faisalabad Wolves, who recently won the Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 Cup; their participation in the tournament will be interesting given the fragile diplomatic and sporting ties between India and Pakistan.
Trinidad & Tobago find a place in the main draw, after sustained public pressure following strong performances in previous seasons. They had finished runners-up in the inaugural edition in 2009, but had to play the qualifying round in 2011 and 2012.
The ECB's announcement that no teams from England will take part in this year's competition has opened up slots for other domestic teams.
Group A: IPL 1st ranked team (India), Highveld Lions (South Africa), Perth Scorchers (Australia), IPL 3rd ranked team (India), Q1 (Qualifier)
Group B: IPL 2nd ranked team (India), Titans (South Africa), Brisbane Heat (Australia), Trinidad & Tobago (West Indies), Q2 (Qualifier)
Qualifier: IPL 4th ranked team (India), Otago Volts (New Zealand), Sri Lanka qualifier, Faisalabad Wolves (Pakistan)

RealAir: A Bit More Insight & Concern.../
Coupled with the official statements via RealAir's website, Robert Young left an additional statement via Avsim yesterday that shed's a bit more light on what the status is with the company itself as it relates to customers & sales. In short, it's not good.
"Hello Everyone, With regret I am sad to announce that RealAir Simulations has closed its doors to new customers. I have been aware for a long time that our loyal customers have been frustrated at the lack of progress on the awaited Piston Duke B60 for P3D and its integration of GTN gauges for both FSX and P3d. Unfortunately there have been personal circumstances for some time which have now escalated to the point where we feel continuing is not viable. I had hoped that we could find a way through, but it is clear that it would be difficult to continue on a level commensurate with our high standards of support and development, and rather than slowly wind down we have decided to shut the business.
Our current customers can be assured of support if they need it, but RealAir will no longer sell products or updates as from today. It is possible in the future that I may work again on occasional projects on a modest level but I have reached retirement age and Sean has coped with a loved one's illness for some time. We feel there is not the scope, for now, to keep RealAir going without harm to the well being and health of all involved..."
There is more to the statement which is not relevant here which you will find via the source link. Now as for what we know, the team is quite staunch with the notion that as of now, if you never purchased a RealAir product, you are basically screwed. As of now, I can not find any RealAir products for sale anywhere. I understand not being able to put in any further efforts with updates etc. but halting sales is the exact equivalent of shutting down Disneyland really. So the next biggest question is for current customers. What will happen for people who will need to reinstall their current aircraft for the future?
The installers connect on-line servers for verification and if the business is defunct, it goes to note the possibility of these activation servers going offline at some point in the future. If that happens, then everyone is screwed. People are actively expressing this concern and according to Robert earlier today in response: "I have asked Sean to remove the activation/protection function. He is in control of it..." And from Sean: "We will most certainly work to ensure that any product previously bought through us will continue to work and install correctly going into the future." But what if you purchased from another retailer? Well I surely do hope so for current customers. But all this said, I can't help but already feel sorry for those who will never get to experience a RealAir product. They are among the very best FS has to offer. I'll report back once final decisions have been made. In the mean time, current customers will need to contact RealAir directly [HERE] with any issues.

Apple attacked by Mac Defender fake antivirus software
Mac computers haven't got viruses like PCs, which has been a source of smuggery for Apple's many Jobsians.
However, that's all changed as a piece of malware called Mac Defender is tootling around the web, pretending to be antivirus software and offering to clean up your Mac. Naturally, with this being malware, it actually doesn't do your computer much good and instead, is after is your pennies.
The Mac Defender software cons Mac owners (presumably those who are particularly thick) into handing over their credit card details. What happens is that, once it's on your Mac, you'll suddenly get flooded with porn sites opening up on your computer, making you think you've got a virus (not much use if you tend to look at nothing but porn in the first place).
Then, here's the sneaky part, Mac Defender asks you to pay for a subscription and lo! The porn vanishes from your Mac! Alas, it has your credit card details and baddies can do as they wish with it.
So look out for that, and its variants called Mac Security and Mac Protector.
Mercifully, you should be able to remove these threats pretty easily by simply removing it by deleting the app from the Applications folder. Any problems there and you can open up Activity Monitor, click on Mac Defender and thunk the Quit Process button before deleting the app.

- PokeHerPeteBut haven't people purchasing a Mac already been fleeced? Ho ho ho
- AlexisAs far as I know, your computer doesn't get flooded by porn sites. All that happens if that if you are stupid enough to proceed with the entire install, you get a fake report saying you have a virus and need to enter your credit card number. A long long way from proper viruses and trojans that dig deep into Windows.
- William G."presumably those who are particularly thick" They have a mac. Nuff said.

Cant double team Trae because Lauri got the shotgun and Lavine got the burner. Watch out
|Sponsored Links
Trae Young is not good!
Watch and learn
Love the debate. I genuinely look forward to the banter over which guy we should take. I definitely want nothing to do with Young. Too much of a risk with little guarantee. Id be fine with virtually anyone else at our slot tho.
Trae Young wants to be Steve Nash but had to be Allen Iverson at college stay woke

Trae young is gonna make a hell of a 6th man.
He wont make it to 7 though. Magic need a PG and he fits nicely in their system
Last edited by Kyben36; 05-17-2018 at 01:39 AM.
Question? Hypothetically say we don't take Bridges at 7 and take somebody else. (trae Jackson Bamba MPJ or other) would anyone trade Bobby portis and the 22nd pick to move back up to grab him if he sliped to like 11-12????
If we could somehow get a package together to get that 76ers pick at 10 thatll be awesome. The possibility of getting a combination of MPJ at 7 and Carter at 10 or Bamba at 7 and Bridges at 10 would be better than getting the #1 overall pick in my opinion. Im not a Big Carter fan and hed be my least favorite selection in this draft but a combination of him with MPJ would be sweet. Id even give 76ers our 2019 pick, top 3 protected for #10 this year
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
If his rim protection is as good as advertised Mo Bamba is an easy pick for me at #7. I think Bamba moving into the top 5 would mean one of Bagley, JJJ, MPJ falls which isn't a bad alternative. I would have liked to have seen more of MPJ in college before making him a top 5 pick so he's probably the guy that falls out if someone were to. Trae Young is an easy pass for the Bulls with Dunn/Lavine. I think his skillset can translate well to the NBA but the Bulls have bigger needs at other positions and a backcourt of Trae Young/Zach Lavine would be awful defensively.
I think any way you chop it up,a high potential player is going to be there when the Bulls pick which is all you can really ask for.

You might remember that once upon a time (35 days ago) I bought a play set which then sat in the parking lot at Lowe's while the store and the rest of the universe couldn't figure out how to help me get it home. Lamenting the cruel separation of my money and my play set, tempered with the anguished cries of my children, last Sunday dinner yielded one very capable volunteer: my cousin Clark.
He called me Tuesday night and asked if I'd meet him in the parking lot at 11:45. No, not a.m., p.m. "Of course," I said.
(Look, it's a family thing, we're always out in the middle of the night or up doing crazy things. In fact, why wouldn't we be running errands in the wee small hours? There are no lines and the traffic is light. Besides, sleep is for babies.)
Clark had already gone to Lowe's earlier in the day, disassembled the play set, and loaded it onto a trailer, which he had left in the lot. He mentioned that no one asked him what he was doing, demanded a receipt, or bothered him in any way. That's so bizarre, I thought, because if I'd been the manager of that store (and I have been a retail store manager) I would have been out there asking questions, especially when someone left a loaded trailer in front of the store in broad daylight. But nope.
Clark asked if I could please drive behind him in case anything fell out and to prevent the over-size load from causing any problems. ANYTHING AT ALL TO GET THAT THING HOME HERE TAKE MY BLOOD. So, yes, I agreed to meet him at quarter to midnight and be the rear guard.
Tiffany came over in the meantime and we sat on the couch to dish. She was texting, I was tweeting, just a couple Gen Xers living the life of Millennials. I told her about Clark's plan and she was game. We might have done a drive by past a house of a guy that she kind of likes on our way to Lowe's. (More Millennial stuff.) (Or is that high school stuff?) (And what did we think would happen if our high school crushes had actually came out of the house? Would we just drive even faster, only screaming? Not a lot of thought went into drive-bys, did they?)
Clark pulled into the lot with his pick up truck and jumped out of the cab with a headlamp on his head and a busted up tee. He moved frenetically hitching the trailer and digging around for a bungee cord while telling us all about the movie he's shooting in the morning. Clark is a wizard. (Not that kind, the special effects kind.) The movie is about orcs. Do women find orcs as attractive as vampires, I wondered? Clark demanded that we explain the current feminine obsession with vampires. I do not have an answer, Tiffany stammered one out. I pretended not to be obsessed with True Blood.
As long as we were in a deserted parking lot in the black night, Clark suggested, and no one was asking any questions, maybe we should just throw the other display play set next to mine onto the flat bed and create some sort of ginormous mutant play set that appeared to be self-replicating. I was sorely tempted. Yes, outlandish ideas and scheming plans, we are related.
He dug a military grade flashing flare out of his truck (of course he did) and tied it on the play set boom extending from the trailer. "Excellent!" Clark proclaimed, and fired up the pickup. Tiff and I jumped into her luxury car to follow the flat bed. Clark blasted over the speed bumps at top speed with every slat screaming to abandon the trailer. I begged Tiffany to stay further behind the careening truck. Sure enough, boards tumbled out onto the road in front of Five Guys and Fries. I jumped out of the car, golf cart style, and grabbed the boards. Up the road we watched the flare detach and bounce-flash along the asphalt and land in the dark. Tiffany and I scan the road and spy the bungee. Another car is racing towards us as I scoop up the bungee in the middle of the road and let out a scream as I vaulted back into the car.
I wonder what the neighbors think of us moving this thing at 12:20 a.m. I hope they think we're mysterious. Not so mysterious that we're selling meth, but just mysterious enough to be moving large, bulky items under the cover of darkness.
Am I sad that Lowe's took my contact info after my last post and then didn't call me back? No. Why? Because when Clark was taking apart the set no one batted an eye. He left a trailer in the Lowe's lot and not a word. We came back in the dead of night and not so much as a rookie security guard moseyed on over to see what the Hey For we were doing.
When Clark is done with the orcs he'll be back to put the play set together, which prompted me to come up with a cracking idea for next week's posts, just you wait.
So now we have our play set; it's just in pieces in the backyard, but at least it's not still in the parking lot of the hardware store.

It would be funny if they call you in a week telling you that your playset has disappeared. But we both know that won't happen because

b. they wont' be able to figure out which department handles this situation
c. they've lost your contact information already anyway

Hey everyone! Sorry it has been forever since I have blogged, I feel like I have been neglecting you guys. But I have just started listing my winter jewelry and thought I would check-in with you guys.
But I am so excited to tell everyone that the Nov/Dec sampler village boxes come out in 4 days, and one thing I know for sure is that I can't wait to get my hands on one! Be sure to check me out in them, I only sent in 25 samples but hopefully you will be able to get your hands on one that I am in. I sent in Holiday Chocolate Chip Cookies (w/red and green chocolate chips).
Also hop on over to For Goodness Grape on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ForGoodnessGrape and see the holiday tube toppers that I custom made for her items.
Finally, I was thinking about starting a lip balm review series. Winter is here and I know this a horrible time for dry lips, let me know what you think!!
Thanks for reading!

Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky`s ballet, The Nutcracker, is probably America`s No. 1 stage attraction for the Christmas season.
Strangely, though, the Tchaikovsky favorite has, until now, never been filmed. That oversight, however, has been corrected; the movie version, Nutcracker, performed by Seattle`s Pacific Northwest Ballet, opens Wednesday.
The film features choreography by Kent Stowell, direction by Carroll Ballard (whose movies include The Black Stallion) and designs by Maurice Sendak, the world`s leading writer-illustrator of children`s books (Where the Wild Things Are, Outside Over There, etc.). Considering Sendak`s unique stature in his field, one wonders why he never tackled The Nutcracker years ago.
Wonder again.
When Stowell first approached Sendak in 1979 with the offer of designing Pacific Northwest`s new Nutcracker, Sendak was completely turned off by the idea. His first response to Stowell was ``No, how banal!,`` scoring his abhorrence for ``the illogical, sugarplum fairy productions`` of the ballet he had seen all his life in New York.
He went on to say, ``The Nutcrackers I`ve seen have all been dull. You have a simpering little girl, a Christmas party, a tree that gets big. Then you have a variety of people who do dances that seem to go on and on ad nauseam. Technically it`s a mess, too; Acts I and II have practically nothing to do with each other.``
Sendak`s put-down continued: ``What you don`t have is plot. No logic. You have lots of very pretty music, but I don`t enjoy it because I`m a very pedantic, logical person. I want to know why things happen.``
Stowell got the message, and the project was laid to rest -- but only temporarily. A year later, the choreographer called Sendak to say, ``You`re right. I too am dismayed over most Nutcrackers I`ve seen. Let`s start from scratch.``
And they did. Serious dicussions about choreography and designs began in 1981. The two agreed that this version of Nutcracker would adhere far closer to the original tale by E.T.A. Hoffmann, upon which the ballet is based -- a much darker interpretation than what most people are used to seeing in other productions. Moreover, the themes of conflict, confusion and sexual awakening in a child`s mind that form such important parts of Sendak`s books complemented this idea.

Company G, 112th Infantry
In reply to:
Looking for veterans Co G 112th Inf Regt
Debra Johnson 5/24/01
The regiment was an organic element of the 28th Infantry Division. The 28th was originally a component of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Since he joined the division subsequent to its being called into Federal Service (17 February 1941), the Pennsylvania Adjutant General will probably have no record of his service. It's pretty late in the game but you might contact the division veterans association. The most current address I have is:
28th Infantry Division Association
329 Mansion Drive
Alexandria, Virginia 22302-2904
You can inquire as to whether there is a 112th Regimental veterans association (and whether it's still active). Being private concerns, veterans organizations can usually only provide information on members, former members and other individuals who have had some sort of contact or dealings with the association. These organizations are rapidly disbanding as their memberships decline so be prepared for possible disappointment.

During the 2014-15 school year, our district started a partnership with BrightBytes, an educational software company in order to learn more about our technology use for student learning. Our goal is to gather data on a continuing basis regarding technology access and skills, and on our district's technology environment, in order to understand the connection between technology use and student achievement. To gain these insights, we provide BrightBytes with a complete picture of technology use at school and at home within our district. Students, teachers, and parents are asked to complete an online questionnaire twice a year to help us gather this data.
Your participation and support is important to us and will give us a more complete understanding of our district's technology use. Our first step is to gather data from you, the members of our parent community. Below is a link to the parent survey, as well as a QR code which can be scanned with a mobile device running a QR code reader. This will allow you to access the survey on your smartphone or another mobile device (such as a tablet). Please note that the survey is short and should only take about 5 to 8 minutes of your time.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this valuable survey.

It's Pumpkin Time!
As the weather begins to grow colder and the jackets come out of storage, you know Halloween is just around the corner. We decided it was time to go pick a pumpkin with the little guy. It was a lot colder than it had been all week, so we bundled Kaeden up in a blanket and a little jacket to cover his ears, then took a drive over. I was expecting a cranky baby with it being so cold, but he seemed to enjoy being surrounded by pumpkins, and even grinned at me for this adorable shot after we picked out a little pumpkin for him. This is now my favorite fall shot, and I already have it printed and hanging in a wall collage over my couch so I could show it off when anyone comes over, but would like to print it on a canvas or something when I do my wall collection of him.
One of my fav photos of him!

This is the third installment of a project that is likely to extend over a two-year-period from January, 2010. It is the serialization of a book entitled The 15% Solution: A Political History of American Fascism, 2001-2022 . This chapter presents a brief discussion of how fascism came to the United States, what "The 15% Solution" actually was, how it lead to the conversion of the United States to the racially defined "New American Republics," and a listing of the future historical documents that led to and defined those developments. Under the pseudonym Jonathan Westminster and fictitious biography, the book is purportedly published in the year 2048 on the 25th Anniversary of the Restoration of Constitutional Democracy in the Re-United States. It was actually published in 1996 by the Thomas Jefferson Press, located in Port Jefferson, NY. The copyright is held by the Press. Herein you will find Chapter 2.
Chapter Two
Fascism in America: An Overview
Author's Commentary: How Fascism Came to the United States
An ever deepening economic decline occurred in the country in the latter part of the 20th century. The decline was not one that could be measured by the traditional yardstick of economic progress, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). It continued to rise at a modest, non-inflation-producing pace, the latter maintained for the benefit of the wealthy by the monetary policies of the central bank (the "Federal Reserve"). But an increasing number of economists and other observers came to realize that the GDP did not tell all there was to tell about either the economy or the state of the nation (Cobb, et al).
As noted by Michael Lind, Dino Louis, Lester Thurow, and many other observers at the time, underneath the GDP climb, the poor were getting poorer and more numerous, the rich were getting richer, and everyone else was experiencing falling personal incomes and rising levels of personal and economic anxiety (DeParle; Phillips). Lind called attention to the underlying reasons for this state of affairs, such as a regressive taxation policy and the export of capital (1995).
In fact, as noted by Dino Louis, in a process driven at its base by under-investment at home and a concomitant export of capital abroad, the economy was rotting upwards from its foundations, with declining personal incomes, increasing job insecurity, the disaccumulation of labor from capital, and de-industrialization. The rotting process was accelerated by the existence of a huge, ever-growing government debt, created in large part during the 1980s by the policies of Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush.
Reaganite policy, in fact, had within a five-year period from 1981 changed the financial posture of the country from that of the world's leading creditor nation to that of the world's leading debtor nation. This borrowing was undertaken to finance a vast expansion of the U.S. military, at a time when the nation was ostensibly at peace, and large tax cuts for the wealthy and the large corporations (McIntyre). It produced a floridly growing economy at the time, for which the Reaganites took credit, but that was the product of nothing but old-fashioned Keynesian government pump-priming, although through a very narrow spigot that dropped the largess almost entirely upon the military-industrial complex.
Thus for many years leading up to this time, American society had been characterized by economic and social conditions which might have led to civil and/or labor unrest. But many people were easily distracted from the realities of life and the true causes of their problems by the above-mentioned strategies of diversion. They also included a domestic "anti-communist crusade" (against a virtually non-existent Communist Party), and the foreign "Cold War" against the old Soviet Union (designed not to "contain" it, as advertised, but to destroy it, which happened). As noted, the diversionary strategies also included such elements as manufactured racism and xenophobia.
A Transition Era poet and philosopher described the latter strategy well (Morrison):
"Let us be reminded that before there is a final solution, there must be a first solution, a second one, even a third. The move toward a final solution is not a jump. It takes one step, then another, then another. Something, perhaps, like this:
"2. Isolate and demonize the enemy by unleashing and protecting the utterance of covert and coded name-calling and verbal abuse. Employ ad hominem attacks as legitimate charges against that enemy.
"3. Enlist and create sources and distributors of information who are willing to reinforce the demonizing process because it is profitable, because it grants power and because it works.

Latest updates since your last visit
In order to achieve our collective goals for global cancer control, we need to learn from the remarkable leaders, campaigners, advocates, fundraisers and collaborators from across our community of members.
The UICC Awards programme aims to identify and celebrate the exceptional contributions made by UICC members and inspire the cancer control community through their efforts.
Open to UICC members only, nominations are sought in any of the five categories below for the chance to be recognised at an Award Ceremony on 2 October 2018, following the UICC General Assembly, during the World Cancer Congress in Kuala Lumpur, 1 – 4 October 2018.
To recognise the outstanding work of UICC members in developing and implementing impactful advocacy programmes or campaigns.
To recognise leadership and expertise in managing a cancer control organisation.
To recognise UICC members that have carried out a successful and innovative fundraising initiative, whether a campaign, an event, a donation programme, or a digital campaign.
To recognise UICC member organisations who demonstrate a generous collaborative spirit in their World Cancer Day activities.
The Collaboration Award
To recognise collaborative initiatives, whether national, regional or international, that exhibit innovative models of engagement and outcomes. Nominations are linked to the call for collaborations at the 2018 World Cancer Congress Regional Meetings.
While each award category has specific selection criteria, as noted in the nomination forms, cross-cutting themes will be the degree to which the actions described were deemed to be impactful, replicable and include elements of collaboration and innovation.
For each award category a slate of three shortlisted nominations will be determined by UICC staff with expertise on the particular subject.
Phone interviews will then be carried out with each award's shortlisted nominees by a judging panel in order to check and challenge the submission and select a winner. Each award will be selected by a different judging panel with specific expertise on the subject matter.
Member organisations can enter into multiple categories where relevant to their work. Multiple submissions for one award category from the same member organisation are however permitted only for the Fundraising (max. two) and the Collaboration awards.
Shortlisted nominees will be featured on the dedicated Awards section of the UICC website and through UICC communications and social media. The UICC Awards Ceremony will be held on the evening of 2 October 2018, immediately after the UICC General Assembly, during the World Cancer Congress in Kuala Lumpur, where winners will be announced and recognised for their achievements.
As the UICC policy on travel grants limits eligibility to organisations registered in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) as per World Bank classification, being shortlisted doesn't give automatic access to travel support. However, organisations with an active engagement in activities at the World Cancer Congress, including the UICC Awards, will have priority considerations for any travel grants that may become available.
Submissions will be open until 8 June 2018. Shortlisted nominees will be announced by the end of July 2018. Phone interviews by the judging panels with the finalists to decide final award winners will be carried out during August 2018.
Only shortlisted submissions will be featured on the UICC website and online communication, with the exception of the Collaboration Award where all eligible submissions will be included in a compendium of collaborations to be made available to UICC members.
Nonetheless, regardless of whether you are ultimately shortlisted or not, sharing the successes and activities you are proud of with us will help us better understand your work and tailor our services. So, turn the submission into an opportunity for team-bonding among your staff and teams, ask them to come together in making the case for your CEO, World Cancer Day campaign, collaboration, advocacy or fundraising initiative and your submission will already be a success!

Speech Understanding Assessment
What is a Speech Understanding Assessment?
The ability to understand speech and to acquire basic language skills are complicated processes that children often learn gradually in the first three years of infancy. Initially, they learn from their parents and siblings, and as they mature, they will learn from other children. If a child has a hearing problem during the early development years from ages 1 to 6 years, then it is easy to see how it can be difficult for the child to fully understand the intricacies of speech. In fact, it can be very frustrating and alienating. Once a child is identified as having a speech recognition problem, a Speech Understanding Assessment is the first step that will help the ENT & AA clinician create a team to help the child.
Who should have a Speech Understanding Assessment?
If your child is not learning how to speak at the same level as children of similar ages, a hearing problem may be the root cause for the delay. Your child may be suffering from an auditory processing disorder (APD).
What is an Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)?
An auditory processing disorder is an auditory deficit that is not the result of a cognitive, or language comprehension disorder. Children with APD are experiencing problems processing auditory information at the neural level. There are many disorders that can impede a child's ability to decipher auditory information, but not all are caused by an auditory problem. For example, Autism or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are not caused by neural damage to the auditory system. To identify APD in a child, ENT & AA can provide clinical auditory assessments to help build a multi-disciplinary team to review and understand the cluster of problems that kids with APD often exhibit.
What can you expect from a Speech Understanding Assessment for a child who may have APD?
• Case history, including medical status, education, socioeconomic, cultural, and linguistic backgrounds
• Information from teachers and other related service providers
• Patient/client/student and family interview
• Review of auditory, visual, motor, and cognitive status by ENT & AA professionals
• Standardized and/or non-standardized measures of specific aspects of speech, spoken and non-spoken language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing function, including observations and analysis of work samples
• Selection of standardized measures for speech, language, cognitive-communication, and/or swallowing assessment with consideration for documented ecological validity and cultural sensitivity
• Follow-up services to monitor communication and swallowing status and ensure appropriate intervention and support for individuals with identified speech, language, cognitive-communication, and/or swallowing disorders

LIMA, PERU--(Marketwired - March 31, 2017) - Minera IRL Limited ("Minera IRL" or the "Company"), (BVLAC:MIRL)(CSE:MIRL)(CSE:MIRL.CN), the Latin America gold mining company, has reported its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2016. The Company has also provided an update on its outlook for 2017.
2016 Highlights:
Operational Performance
Corihuarmi, Peru
Ollachea, Peru
Commenting on the annual results, Gerardo Perez, Minera IRL Limited's Chairman, said, ""I have the honor to Chair the Board of Directors, which has received the mandate from our shareholders to pursue opportunities which generate value for the Company. Thus, in these few months we have made good progress in the company. The two most important milestones that we achieved last year were"
"Our Corihuarmi Gold Mine continued to exceed expectations and provided strong cash contributions in 2016. The exploration campaign the Company carried out between December 2016 and March 2017 allows us to extend Corihuarmi's life of mine well into 2019. Whereas we have recorded a gross profit of US$7.2 million, we incurred an after-tax loss of US$10.4. The gold price is, at the date of this report above the US$1,200 level which compared to the price at the end of 2016 of US$1,159 per ounce, and US$1,062 at the end of 2015, shows a moderate upwards trend.
Regarding the Ollachea Project we are currently evaluating to optimize the CAPEX, the processing plant size, cutoff ore grade and mine development strategy.
The cash flow from the Corihuarmi mine covers our general, administrative and social costs.
Regarding the mandate for the U$240m structured financing subscribed with COFIDE dated June 2015; the agreement was revoked by COFIDE due to a strategy change of the organization by the government of Peru. Once the exclusivity clause of the mandate lapses on April 1st 2017, the company's objective is to secure financing for the Ollachea project during the second quarter of 2017.
Community relations at Ollachea remain strong. The Company supports important programs in health and welfare, nutrition, education and sustainable development.
I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to our current Board of Directors, management team and all employees for their loyalty, dedication and hard work. I would also like to thank our shareholders for their continuing support. I feel confident that continuing potential at our Corihuarmi gold mine and our Ollachea gold project places Minera IRL Limited in a good position to continue building a successful Gold Producer Company
A summary of the key financial measures for the three- and twelve-month periods ended 31 December 2016.
Table 1: Summary of Key Financial and Operational Measures
1 - Refer to the Cautionary Non-GAAP and Non-IFRS Statements at the end of this release
In 2017, the Company is forecasting gold production of 22,000 ounces from Corihuarmi. Production is expected to come mainly from the Cayhua zone, along with continued production from zones Susan, Laura, Tambo Nuevo, Diana extension, plus nearby Scree Slope material.
The 2017 Corihuarmi capital budget is $2.0 million for the construction of a heap leach pad. This expansion is to accommodate all of the material that is scheduled to be mined and stacked until the second quarter of 2018.
Between December 2016 and March 2017, the Company completed 7,291 metres of exploration drilling in 86 drill holes at the Corihuarmi mine. The exploration program defined additional material at the Cayhua, Tambo Nuevo and Laura zones. As a result of the exploration activities and evaluation, the Corihuarmi life of mine has been extended until mid-2019.
