to Ask Your Gynecologist
Before you slip into those stirrups, here's what you need to know
and what you need to demand.
by Molly M. McGinty
The women--tourists and locals, some teenagers, others adults,
some alone, others with female friends or male companions--were surrounded
by groups of men who heckled, restrained, sexually molested, robbed,
and beat them. And in one case, a woman was stripped naked while
her husband was restrained and forced to watch. The predators cheered
each other on, while bystanders videotaped several of the incidents
and countless other folks watched and made no effort to intercede.
It happened the same day that a major parade celebrating Puerto
Rican pride was being held in the area, and the police were out
in force. And yet, according to several people, including a number
of the victims, the police failed to respond to their pleas for
help, or protect other women from being assaulted.
As fate would have it, these attacks also happened on the very
weekend when women from around the world had just finished meeting
at the United Nations. That gathering was called to assess the progress
made since the historic U.N. Fourth World Conference on Women in
Beijing in 1995 and to press governments to adhere to the recommendations
and resolutions that came out of that event, to demand new laws
and that unjust laws be changed. No surprise that violence against
women was one of the main areas of concern.
As if we could forget that we live in a world where the rule of
law does not universally apply to women and where nations routinely
cloak men's violence toward women under the mantle of custom or
religion, calling them acts of honor, duty, or love. Or that I,
like most of you reading this, live in a country where men who kill
their wives or girlfriends are routinely described as being "distraught,"
their murderous acts detailed under headlines that say things like
"Love Gone Awry"--as if love had anything to do with it.
If caught, these killers usually plead insanity, talk about being
"pushed over the edge" and all too often are treated less
harshly than the person who murders a stranger. One in six U.S.
women has experienced either rape or attempted rape at some point
in her life. Women are assaulted--not because the urge to rape is
inherent to men's nature, but because of socialization. In this
nation, women and girls are routinely stalked, the sexual harassment
of girls in middle and junior high schools by their male peers has
become all too common, and far more often than folks would like
to admit, the sexual predation begins in the home. Yet women's suppressed
memories of childhood abuse are labeled false, and people are deluded
into thinking that incest is rare, that harassment is just adolescent
flirtation, and that the mere fact of being female makes one a target
for violence and intimidation. And then there are the officials
who claim that these are simply aberrant acts--no pattern here.
How seriously does this society take violence against women? Ask
the prosecutors who decide that some women aren't worthy of justice
and the juries that buy into those tired patriarchal excuses for
men's violence toward women. Ask the music lovers who attended the
Woodstock festival last year in upstate New York and chose to be
voyeurs when rape became part of the public revelry. Ask the moviemakers
who regularly incite the violence done to women. Ask the schoolboys
who in poll after poll state that if they spend a certain amount
of money on a date, girls are obligated to provide sex. Ask the
police officers who failed to respond to a female victim's cry for
help and the bystanders who watched but did nothing. Ask those males
who catcalled, threw water, groped and pawed and assaulted those
women in the park, and the others who cheered them on. Ask the women
who were targeted on that hot spring day.

Whether you are considering the purchase of your first RV or your next RV, we are confident you will enjoy the following advantages of Prime Time Manufacturing:
Prime Time Manufacturing understands the critical elements of designing a winning recreational vehicle – floorplan, eye appeal, storage, and convenience. However, the true genius is in the details. Is every inch of storage space fully utilized? Is there adequate pantry space for both tall and short items? Where do you put your trash can? Does each feature maximize user comfort and convenience? Are the decors residential yet durable? We have spent years listening to customers talk about what they want in the "perfect" RV. Drawing on that feedback, countless hours are incorporated into dissecting every detail to fully maximize the enjoyment each of our models will provide. We are fanatical about design because we want to ensure that our RVs will EXCEED your expectations.
Prime Time Manufacturing chose to headquarter its operations in Wakarusa, Indiana, the center of northern Indiana's Amish community. This is an area where old world craftsmanship, traditional work ethics, and doing things the "right" way are still emphasized and valued. Our executive management team has over 100 years of manufacturing experience that allows Prime Time to engineer and build an RV that will withstand the test of time. Every unit we ship is put through a rigorous 65 point system inspection at our factory AND at your selling dealership to make sure your first camping adventure is memorable for all of the right reasons. Finally, we provide a comprehensive Emergency Roadside Assistance program for your additional safety, convenience, and peace of mind. For us, quality isn't just a slogan, it's our culture.
Prime Time Manufacturing is a division of Forest River, Inc, one of North America's largest producers of towable recreational products. Because of our tremendous corporate sales volume, we are able to leverage massive purchasing power to produce an RV with more features for the money than any other company in the industry. We also operate with extremely low overhead. You won't find Prime Time advertising in national trade magazines or traditional media sources – we rely on good old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Our dealers aren't rewarded with luxurious trips or outfitted with fancy wardrobes – they only get high quality, fast selling RVs that are priced lower than the competition. We understand that the purchase of your next RV is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are committed to giving you the best value for your hard earned dollar.
Pleasureland RV is not responsible for any misprints, typos, or errors found in our website pages. Any price listed excludes sales tax, registration tags, and delivery fees.

Over the past four years, Netflix has gone from less than 50 Million subscribers to 125 Million subscribers. While this kind of growth has caused us no shortage of scaling challenges, we actually managed to improve the overall availability of our service in that time frame. Along the way, we have learned a lot and now have a much better understanding of what it takes to make our system more highly available. But the news is not all good. The truth is that we learned many of our lessons the hard way: through heroics, through mad scrambles when things went wrong, and sometimes unfortunately through customer-facing incidents. Even though we haven't figured everything out and still have many opportunities to improve our systems, we want to share some of the experience we have gained and the tips or best practices we derived. Hopefully some of you will take something away that will save you a wake-up call at 3am for a customer-facing incident.
At Netflix, we have built and use Spinnaker as a platform for continuous integration and delivery. Many of the best practices discussed here have been encoded into Spinnaker, so that they are easy to follow. While in this article we show how we internally encode the best practices in Spinnaker, the tips and best practices are more general and will help anyone make their systems be highly available.
Our goal is to provide the best customer experience possible. As a result, we aim to limit the blast radius of any change to our systems, validate the change, and then roll it out to a broader set of customers. More specifically, we roll out deployments to one AWS region at a time. This gives us an extra layer of safety in our production deployments. It also gives us the ability to quickly
Womens Nola Down Coat with Detachable Fur Trim Hood Black S Dawn Levy Cheap Price Outlet Marketable Online Discount Marketable Quality From China Wholesale Free Shipping From China oYKVg8
away from affected customers, which is one of our most important remediation tools.
We also recommend verifying application functionality between each regional deployment, and avoid publishing during peak hours in the targeted region.
In Spinnaker, it's straightforward to specify the region a deploy is targeted for.
In a Red/Black (also called Blue/Green) deployment a new version of an app (red) will start to receive traffic as soon as it passes health checks. Once the red version is healthy, the previous (black) version is disabled and receives no traffic. If a rollback is needed, making a change is as simple as enabling the previous version. For our services, this is a model that allows us to move fast and get back to a known good state if something goes wrong.
To accomplish a Red/Black deployment with Spinnaker, our engineers simply have to specify the strategy in their pipeline (and optionally set parameters on the strategy), and Spinnaker will take care of the rollout.
Whenever you deploy a new version of your app, there are two things to keep in mind: first, are you (and/or your colleagues) able to watch the impacts of the deployment and available to remediate if need be? And second, there be a problem with your rollout, are you limiting the blast radius to the fewest customers possible?
Both of these reasons point to being mindful about when you deploy new software or new versions. In our case, our streaming traffic follows a relatively predictable pattern where most people stream in the evenings wherever they live. We recommend choosing deployment windows during working hours and at off-peak times for a selected region.
Spinnaker provides an interface to this through its pipeline UI. This makes it easy for you to specify the days and hours this pipeline can run.
Deployment windows also apply to automatically triggered events. Spinnaker permits cron expressions as pipeline triggers. This can be useful in reducing the hand-holding our users have to do and reduces mental overhead. But this can also be a risky strategy: it's easy to fashion an aggressive cron expression that'll execute a pipeline during off-hours or weekends, which may not be what was expected. No matter what kind of automation you use, ensure that any pipeline triggered automatically (e.g., by cron) can be run unattended.
Chaos Monkey is built and open-sourced by Netflix and is part of our Chaos engineering suite of tools. Chaos Monkey unpredictably and automatically terminates instances in production. This serves as a forcing function to design services in a way that are resilient to single-instance failures. If they are not, Chaos Monkey will expose this vulnerability, so that service owners can fix it before it turns into a widespread customer-facing incident. At Netflix, our best practice is that all services in production should have Chaos Monkey enabled and owners of these services should detect no issues with Chaos Monkey terminating application instances.
The key to moving fast is automatically validating new versions of software before they are deployed. Ideally, running all necessary suites of tests can be done without any manual intervention.
In addition, we recommend the use of canary analysis. Canary analysis is an effective means to validate live traffic against new changes to a service. We have built a tool internally at Netflix, Kayenta , which we have recently open-sourced. Kayenta easily integrates within Spinnaker; in combination with manual judgement, Kayenta is a final gate before full fledged production traffic.
Automate where possible, but use manual intervention where appropriate. For instance, it may be appropriate to check the results of a canary run before pushing a new version to production.
Now that you've done a lot of testing and validation of your new version, we highly recommend that you deploy to production what you tested. In our case this means that we prefer to copy a validated image from a test environment rather than baking in a production environment.
Sometimes, the best thing you can do for the availability of your app is simple, but not obvious. When something goes wrong with your app, and more than likely it will at point, it's important that the people who can fix it will be paged. So review your paging settings, and do so regularly. This will help ensure that the right people will be called quickly in the case of an incident.
Internally, Spinnaker has a handy "Page owner" button, so it's especially important that this information is up-to-date, so that we do not get a false sense of security of being able to reach the app owner but then finding out that the configuration is outdated when we most need it.
Many of you will agree that even with solid testing, canaries, and other validation, sometimes something will be deployed to production that causes problems. Maybe it's a rare bug exposed by a race condition that only gets triggered at scale. Whatever the case may be, it's important that you know how to roll back to a good known state quickly if need be.
In Spinnaker, in the event of a production issue with a new version of your app, rollbacks are possible via the Rollback option under Server Group actions. Rollback will enable the ASG of your choice (usually the previous) and disable the faulty ASG. Spinnaker also supports creating rollback pipelines that can be executed upon pipeline failure or even triggered manually.
Over the years, a few times we fell into a bad state when a deployment succeeded, and instances came up, but they weren't healthy and were not in fact able to handle traffic appropriately. The "successful" deployment gave us a false sense of security which quickly vanished when a critical service wasn't actually healthy, and requests were quickly stacking up and failing, sometimes causing a retry storm and all kinds of havoc. From these experiences, we learned how important it is to fail a deployment when instances come up, but aren't healthy.
Spinnaker has a flexible means for associating instance health. When an instance is unhealthy, Spinnaker will note it accordingly; what's more, unhealthy instances won't receive traffic. In the event of all instances in an ASG being unhealthy, Spinnaker will fail a deployment. To make it easier for operators, Spinnaker also clearly marks instance state as coming up, starting, waiting for discovery, unhealthy, and healthy with different colors, as can be seen below.
Letting people know that a deployment has successfully gone into production is also recommended. This is critical for us operating successfully. Our best practice is to always watch your systems when changes are deployed. When something goes wrong, it's important to know what has changed and when. For automated deployments, then, it is particularly important to notify the team so that they know to keep an eye on service health. We use Slack channels internally for notifications. In Spinnaker, Pipelines can notify any channel upon completion that operators want to notify.
Every engineer has written one-off scripts for non-typical situations. And many have had situations where those "one-off" situations happen again, and now the rest of the team doesn't know what the one engineer did in their script that was intended to run once and be thrown away!
Pipelines are an effective means for automating any series of steps, even those steps not executed day-to-day. One example is fashioning a pipeline for an emergency push where parameters are provided to control conditional execution such as skipping deployment windows.
Don't forget to regularly test your non-typical (and typical) deployment pipelines in non-critical situations!
We all operate in a world where systems change around us frequently. At Netflix, our hundreds of microservices change on an ongoing basis. Making assumptions, for instance about the state of other systems, can be dangerous. Learning from our own mistakes, we now use preconditions to ensure that assumptions are still valid when we deploy new code or make other changes. This is particularly important for pipelines that execute of long periods of time (possibly from a delay in manual judgement and/or deployment windows). Using precondition stages can verify expected state before potentially destructive actions.
This post summarizes a variety of tips and best practices that we have accumulated over the years at Netflix, often learning from our own mistakes. Our approach is to build tooling around these best practices whenever possible, because we have found that best practices are often followed when it's easy to "fall into the pit of success" — when manual toil, which is brittle and unpleasant, is kept to a minimum.
Our goal is to always improve the availability of our service. For us, this means keeping the human in the loop when manual judgement is really needed, but not otherwise. By doing this, we target our engineers' time towards those tasks that improve availability, while also freeing them up to focus on other things when their involvement is not needed.
From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.

MONTREAL – With the NHL lockout grinding through its fourth month, Montreal Canadiens defenceman Josh Gorges looked to an unusual source to find his next hockey game: Twitter.
Gorges, 28, extended an open invitation to his followers on the social network site to join him at a rink Wednesday afternoon.
Fans responded in droves.
The scene didn't look much different than the one playing out at countless parks and ponds across Canada—except for the high turnout and, of course, the presence of an NHL alternate captain.
"I haven't played outdoors in a long time, but I figured we've got some time and I've got nothing else to do," Gorges told reporters during a break from the game.
"I was just looking to skate outdoors and I threw it out there on Twitter and so many people were asking where I'd go play, so I thought why not set a time and place and we'll all come and play."
In recent days, Gorges had been joking about the upcoming game in messages sent out to his 23,000-plus followers on Twitter. A few hours before the contest, he mused that he may be a little slower than usual after having Christmas dinner the night before.
The game would have been slow regardless, though, due to the sheer number of players.
Dozens of skaters, ranging widely in age and skill level, packed on to the rink in Montreal's Verdun neighbourhood.
"I'm a big fan," said Jason Joly, a nine-year-old dressed up in gloves, hat and a Canadiens jersey. "I can't wait to play with him."
The event comes two days after the NHL lockout reached its 100th day. One fan who joined Gorges on the ice said he appreciated his effort to reach out after months of frustration.
"I really respect what he did for the fans and I know he cares about his relationship with the community," said David Stein, a 19-year-old from Montreal. "I got to basically live out a dream here playing with one of my favourite players on the Montreal Canadiens.
"It was really a special day."
Amar Boudjerida, a 25-year-old who suited up to play goalie, headed to the rink not knowing about Gorges' invitation. He ended up having a lot more company than expected.
Boudjerida said he also appreciated Gorges' gesture, but remains disgruntled over the dispute between NHL players and owners.
"I think it's pretty insulting for the fans that they're in a lockout based on how to spend our money, bottom line," he said. "I don't know whose fault it is exactly but it kind of sucks to be a fan right now."
Gorges, who has spoken out against the NHL owners in the past, was happy to focus on the outdoor game Wednesday.
"It was a great turnout, I'm more than happy to see all these people come out," he said.
Later in the evening, Gorges sent out another message on Twitter thanking everyone for coming and asking: "What do you think should we organize another game?"

Anthony Bennett had 21 points and 12 rebounds, and UNLV hung on in the final seconds to beat San Diego State 72-70 on Saturday night.
After a 14-0 run gave UNLV its largest lead at 67-57, the Aztecs came back and had a chance to go ahead in the final seconds, but Jamaal Franklin with whistled for a traveling violation with two seconds remaining.
Khem Birch added 16 points for the Rebels (19-7, 6-5 Mountain West).
Bennett, who had three blocks, finished 4 of 5 from 3-point range.
Chase Tapley led the Aztecs (18-7, 6-5) with 22 points and six rebounds. JJ O'Brien added 15 points, all in the first half, and 11 rebounds.
Franklin, who finished with 11 points and five steals, also missed a potential tying 3-pointer from the top left arc with 29 seconds left. After Franklin's miss, UNLV's Justin Hawkins made 1 of 2 free throws to make it 71-67.
Tapley hit a 3-pointer to cut it to 71-70. On the ensuing inbounds play, O'Brien tied up Bryce DeJean-Jones, and the Aztecs got the ball on the possession arrow. But Franklin took too many steps.

WASHINGTON — A government survey shows about 821,000 U.S. households lost access to basic banking services between January 2009 and June 2011.
Roughly 10 million U.S. households, or 8.2 percent, have no access to bank accounts, according to a survey conducted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. That's up from 7.7 percent in the FDIC's 2009 survey.
And an even larger percentage of Americans are relying on high-interest alternatives, even those with traditional bank accounts. The survey found 28.3 percent either lacked bank accounts or used payday loans, check-cashing services and other alternatives as of June 2011. That's up from 25.6 percent in the previous survey.
The survey found 21.4 percent of black families and 20.1 percent of Hispanic families had no banking services.

LOS ANGELES — After 27 years, the murder trial of a man who posed as a member of the fabled Rockefeller family is getting under way with opening statements to the jury.
Seven women and five men were selected to as the jury to begin hearing the case Monday of Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter. He was known for 20 years as Clark Rockefeller. He says he is not guilty of the cold case killing of John Sohus.
Sohus disappeared with his wife, Linda, in 1985 while Gerhartsreiter was a tenant at the home of Sohus' mother.
The prosecution's case is circumstantial, based on a bag of bones found buried at the property and fuzzy memories of San Marino residents who knew the defendant.
The defense says there was no motive for the defendant to kill anyone. Linda Sohus vanished without a trace.

Obama briefs House leader Boehner on Syria
Obama briefs House leader Boehner on Syria
Aug. 29, 2013
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama has briefed the leader of the House of Representatives on Syria in a conversation in which the Republican leader pressed the president to make the case to the nation and Congress for military action.
A spokesman for Speaker John Boehner, Brendan Buck, said in a brief statement on Thursday that the speaker questioned the president about issues he raised in a letter on Wednesday.
Among Boehner's concerns are the legal justification for any military strike, the overall policy and precedent and the objective.
Buck said only Obama can answer those questions, and it was clear that additional conversations, consultation with Congress and communication with the nation were necessary.

SAN MATEO, Calif. --Child porn charges have been filed against a former San Mateo County chief probation officer.
The San Francisco Chronicle says state prosecutors filed two felony counts on Thursday against 61-year-old Stuart Forrest, who led the county probation department for three years.
The complaint says Forrest possessed child pornography on Dec. 20 and 21.
Forrest was placed on paid leave on Dec. 21 and he retired 10 days later.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says he felt it was appropriate for the state attorney general's office to prosecute the case because of the probation department's close relationship with his office.
A relative told the Chronicle that Forrest wasn't available for comment.

LEWISBURG, Pa. — Aliyah Johnson thrives on challenge. The president of her class at Baltimore's prestigious Western High School, she belonged to the dance team, the volleyball team and the National Honor Society. She applied to several colleges, and was accepted by all of them, but she needed more financial aid than the scholarships they offered her. || Scholarships
Then her high school principal told her about Bucknell University and its new Charles T. Bauer Scholars Program. Created for outstanding students who live in the area served by Baltimore city schools, the no-loan, full-need award would let Johnson pursue her dream of becoming the first in her family to attend college. After a competitive application and interview process, she became one of six Bauer Scholars in the Bucknell Class of 2014.
Johnson, who is thinking about majoring in political science or sociology, quickly jumped into campus life, even going so far as to start a dance team, the Bisonettes, to perform at University athletic events. "I saw that they needed halftime performances, and I figured it would be a good way to meet people," she said.
Supporting talent, diversity
Johnson exudes the kind of spirit that Andy Hartman, Class of '71, and his wife, Janet Bauer Hartman, both parents of a 2000 Bucknell graduate, were hoping to nourish when they established the scholarship program, which is named for Janet's late father.
"My dad was brought up with modest means, but he was successful," Janet said. "He attributed his success to his good education. He lived a very modest life, and wanted his money to go to good works." A former art teacher, she is a trustee of the Charles T. Bauer Family Foundation, which makes educational grants. In creating the scholarship program, the Hartmans saw an opportunity to help talented local teenagers while advancing Bucknell's goal of increasing campus diversity.
"We love the concept of the Posse program, and there is a lot of need here in Baltimore," said Andy, who majored in secondary education and taught in the Peace Corps. He walks the talk: After retiring from his banking career, he spent six years teaching in Baltimore city schools — 13 different subjects in 20 different classrooms. Again and again, he met students with great potential but no resources.
The impact of scholarships was not new to the Hartman family. To honor his son-in-law, Bauer in 2001 created the Andrew Wayne Hartman Class of 1971 Scholarship, which is given to students who plan to teach in public schools or have a parent who does. "It's been a great experience for us," Andy said. "I am always impressed by the demeanor and character of the scholars. My wife and I have benefited as much as individuals as I hope the kids have."
Bucknell worked with the Hartmans to develop the program, which provides four years of no-loan, full-need scholarships for several students in each incoming class. A gift of $1 million made through the Charles T. Bauer Foundation established the program and covers a portion of each student's tuition and fees. The University pays the balance but is working to raise enough additional funding to fully endow the program.
With the program established, Assistant Director of Admissions Yorelis Trotter set about recruiting applicants — not a simple task, as most of the targeted students were not familiar with Bucknell, and many were hesitant about leaving the city. She spent a great deal of time visiting Baltimore to educate students, principals and counselors about the opportunity. She also invited counselors to visit and see the campus for themselves.
"Yorelis was a major influence in my decision to come here," said Megan Reid, Class of '14, who met Trotter at an information session at her high school, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute. Reid turned down generous scholarships from other top universities in favor of Bucknell. "No other school had admissions counselors reach out to me like that."
A visit to campus confirmed Reid's decision. "I asked myself, could I see myself developing, growing and really learning here? I talked to professors and sat in on classes, and I knew this was the place for me." A chemical engineering major, Reid plans to minor in creative writing, and she continues to pursue her passion for dance. She, too, is a founding member of the Bisonettes.
Mentoring program
Bucknell sets the criteria for scholar selection and conducts interviews, giving preference to low-income, underrepresented students with academic ability, growth potential and interest in the greater world. As a condition of the program, the recipients must take part in TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More), a mentoring program administered through the Multicultural Student Services Office.
"TEAM is a value-added experience for the scholars," Trotter says. "There are transition difficulties coming from an urban environment, as well as moving from high school to college. The TEAM program pairs them with older student mentors and helps smooth the transition."
None of the Bauer scholars had met before last August, when the Hartmans invited them all to dinner at their home. "We were so impressed by the energy level and cheerfulness of the students," Janet Bauer Hartman said. "They seemed genuinely excited about going to Bucknell."
Now, Johnson plans to pursue a career in law, while Reid hopes to someday develop chemical treatments to stem hair loss caused by chemotherapy.
"This scholarship is a true investment in us," Reid said. "I am so grateful."
Johnson agreed. "I am so appreciative of this. I've done so many things. Last fall, we went rock-climbing at CLIMBucknell.
"I climbed all the way to the top of the tower and walked around the ropes," she recalled. "The rest of the girls on my scholarship told me I was crazy. But I'm a daredevil, and I'll do anything. I got to the top. I rang the bell."

Despite selling back half of its 40% stake in Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba this past September, for a total of $7.6 billion, Yahoo still owns a sizable amount of the company's stock, around 23%. With that kind of investment, you can be sure that Yahoo still wants some control over the direction that Alibaba takes.
Jacqueline Reses, executive vice president of people and development at Yahoo, is joining the board at Alibaba, the company announced Wednesday. She is joining Alibaba executive Jack Ma and Joe Tsai, along with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, as one of the four members of the board.
"Today's announcement underscores Alibaba's strong relationship with Yahoo!," Jack Ma, chairman and chief executive officer of Alibaba Group, said in a statement. "We are pleased to welcome such an experienced and respected executive like Jackie, who brings a wealth of strategic insight and operating experience to the Alibaba board."
Reses was hired by Yahoo in September, one of a number of women picked to join the ranks by newly appointed CEO Marissa Mayer, along with new CMO Kathy Savitt, and Anne Espiritu, who ran consumer technology PR for Google, who Mayer hired to handle corporate communications at Yahoo.
Before coming to Yahoo, Reses previously worked at Goldman Sachs for seven years, before leading the U.S. media group at Apax Partners.
While at Apax Partners, Reses was heavily involved with investing in media and technology businesses, while also working in the company's talent initiatives, including recruiting and training. Reses was named one of Crain's New York Business' "Most Influential Women," and was one of Dealmaker magazine's "Dealmakers of the Year."
Her experience at Apax served as her qualification for the position at Yahoo, as Reses, in her role as EVP of people and development, is in charge of acquiring talent and human resources.
"I'm honored to be a part of Alibaba's distinguished board," Reses said in a statement. "Jack and the team have built a strong business that has changed the e-commerce landscape in China. I look forward to working closely with them as Alibaba continues to innovate and grow."
When Yahoo first announced that it would be selling its Alibaba shares in May, it was reported that the company would be returning the money to its shareholders. Those plans were eventually put on hold, however, as Mayer ordered a review of the company's business strategy, starting with what to do with the money made from selling the Alibaba shares.
The speculation at the time was that, if Yahoo did decide to keep the money, it would possibly use it to refocus on investments in search and communications, or share repurchase and restructuring.
Since then, Mayer has since made clear her intentions to reinvest in Yahoo's main products: search, mobile, content, and advertising, with particular emphasis on mobile, which she has called, "A platform shift we have to ride and participate in order to be relevant."
Yahoo shares were up 2.05% on Tuesday, trading at 18.93 a share.

Said he hopes resolution can be found
Assemblyman John Ceretto, R-C-I-Lewiston, voted Wednesday to dissolve the Buffalo and Fort Erie Public Bridge Authority, which is the subject of a dispute between the state of New York and the Canadian authorities. Ceretto voted in favor of dissolution in order to speed up needed improvements to the Peace Bridge on the American side, improvements which his camp said are being held up by the Bridge Authority.
Ceretto said he still believes a resolution between New York and the Canadian authorities can be reached.
"My top priority for the Peace Bridge is to see the desperately needed improvements come to fruition as soon as possible. These improvements will bring much needed economic development to Niagara Falls to promote tourism and job creation," Ceretto said. "These improvements have been discussed for 15 years. The people need action on these important economic development initiatives. Lets move forward and get them done."
The dispute between New York and the Canadian authorities centers around improvements that need to be made on the American side of the Peace Bridge. A pre-inspection facility needs to be built in Fort Erie in order to improve the flow of traffic. Ceretto's team said the Canadians have stalled on this critical improvement. This has resulted in a stalemate in negotiations that has forced this vote to dissolve the Bridge Authority so that improvements on the American side can move forward.
"My vote reflects what is right for my constituents in Niagara Falls. The situation has to be improved," Ceretto said. "If the Bridge Authority will not work with us, then we need to act unilaterally to make the improvements that will economically benefit the people of Niagara Falls."

Today I am sharing a recipe inspired by a friend of mine, Stephanie, who always makes my day brighter at work. You know those people in your life that bring you surprises or help you out in unexpected ways when you need it the most? Well, that is who Stephanie is to me. She recently brought a delicious slow cooker cake for our entire department and I was immediately inspired to use the same concept by shaking up the ingredients. Because September is here and pumpkins will soon be filling our porches, coffee and bellies, I wanted to create a pumpkin inspired treat that would be easy enough for the kids to make.
Chocolate Pumpkin Slow Cooker Cake
Prep Time: 5 minutes • Cook Time: 3 hours, 5 minutes • Serves: 8-10
1 pkg. (3.9 oz.) Chocolate Fudge JELL-O Pudding Mix
1 box (15.25 oz.) chocolate cake mix
1 can (29 oz.) real pumpkin (un-spiced)
1 stick of butter, melted
Dash of cinnamon
COOL WHIP Whipped Topping (for garnish)
Cooking spray
SPRAY the inside of the slow cooker with cooking spray.
SPREAD the pumpkin evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker.
MIX the JELL-O Pudding and cake mix together in a separate bowl.

Rich Bisaccia (Be-sach-ia) has been named special teams and running backs coach at Auburn, head coach Gus Malzahn announced Thursday. Bisaccia will also assume the title of assistant head coach. A 30-year coaching veteran who is regarded as one of the top special teams coaches in the game, Bisaccia spent the last 11 seasons coaching in the National Football League.
"Rich is widely regarded as the one of the top special teams coaches in all of football and has coached several elite running backs, so we're thrilled to have him join our staff," Malzahn said. "Rich's resume speaks for itself. He has been a part of some outstanding teams, including a Super Bowl Champion in Tampa Bay. He has coached several running backs and special teams players that were among the very best in the game at both the collegiate and professional level."
Bisaccia spent the previous two years coaching special teams for the San Diego Chargers after nine years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was promoted to assistant head coach—special teams after the 2011 season.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for me to return to the college game at a program like Auburn," Bisaccia said. "I have an incredible amount of respect for Auburn and Coach Malzahn. I met Gus in the spring of 2010 and have followed his cutting edge offense and what he's accomplished as a coach since he started coaching in college. He's a man of character and I had previously worked with Ellis Johnson and Charlie Harbison, so I knew the type of staff that Gus was putting together. I'm excited and ready to help Auburn return to a championship caliber team."
Before coaching in the NFL, Bisaccia spent the first 19 years of his career at the collegiate level at Ole Miss (1999-2001), Clemson (1994-98), South Carolina (1988-93) and Wayne State (1983-87).
In his first season at San Diego, kicker Nick Novak, brought in to replace an injured Nate Kaeding, made 27 of 34 field goals and set two team records under Bisaccia's watch, while Mike Scifres averaged a then-career high 47.5 yards per punt.
The kickoff coverage unit took a leap forward, improving from 26th to 11th in the NFL. The Chargers also improved its punt coverage, allowing opponents 5.7 yards less per return and improving Scifres' net average by nearly 9 yards. The Chargers also had a team-record 105-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, executed two successful onside kicks and a fake punt in 2011.
In 2012, Novak connected on 25 of 27 field goals, the only misses coming from beyond 50 yards, while Scifres improved his average to a career-best and team-record 48.3 yards per punt. Michael Spurlock averaged 17.1 yards per punt return and had a punt and kickoff return for touchdowns, while the kickoff coverage unit was third in the NFL in opponents' average field position.
From 2002-10, Bisaccia coached special teams in Tampa Bay. In his first season, the Buccaneers won Super Bowl XXXVII, under head coach Jon Gruden. Bisaccia added the title of associate head coach for the 2008-10 seasons. Bisaccia also coached running backs in 2008 for Tampa Bay, including former Auburn great Carnell Williams.
Bisaccia's special teamers in Tampa Bay earned three Pro Bowl selections, 13 NFC Player of the Week awards and four NFC Player of the Month awards. The Buccaneers scored four touchdowns on kickoff returns, four on punt returns, and blocked 10 field goals, five punts and three PATs.
In 2009, the Buccaneers led the NFL with six blocked kicks. They also led the league in kickoff return average and ranked second in opponent kickoff return average.
During his three years at Ole Miss, Bisaccia coached one of the most prolific offensive players in school history in running back Deuce McAllister, who was selected in the first round of the 2001 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints. McAllister finished his Ole Miss career with 18 school records, including most yards gained rushing with 3,060.
Bisaccia coached three All-SEC performers at Ole Miss, with McAllister earning all-conference accolades in 1999 and 2000. McAllister was also selected to the All-SEC team as either an all-purpose player or a punt returner during his final two seasons. In 1999, both McAllister and running back Joe Gunn earned first team All-SEC recognition.
Under Bisaccia's guidance, Ole Miss was strong in special teams play. Place-kicker Les Binkley set a school single-season scoring record for a kicker and garnered All-SEC accolades in 1999. During the 2001 season, Jason Armstead finished second in the SEC and ninth in the nation in kick returns as the Rebels led the conference and were 12th in the nation in kickoff returns.
Bisaccia spent five years as the running backs coach, special teams coordinator and recruiting coordinator at Clemson. During his stint with the Tigers, Bisaccia coached three-time All-Atlantic Coast Conference running back Raymond Priester, who set 18 school rushing records. The Tigers' special teams set a school record for blocked kicks in 1997 and was the only school in the nation to have four players ranked in four special teams categories in 1995.
In 1988, Bisaccia took a graduate assistant position with South Carolina and coached tight ends and receivers. He also served as a volunteer assistant coach for defensive ends. He took over as an assistant coach in 1992 and was responsible for running backs and special teams. Under Bisaccia, the Gamecocks led the SEC in kickoff returns in 1992 and set a school record for blocked kicks. South Carolina also had a pair of All-SEC running backs in Brandon Bennett and Rob DeBoer.
A former defensive back at Yankton College in South Dakota, the native of Yonkers, N.Y. began his coaching career at Wayne State (Neb.) College in 1983. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education degree with a minor in Health Education from Wayne State.
Bisaccia and wife, Jeanne, have three daughters, Michele, Elizabeth and Madeline, and a son, Richie.

Carrier Command: Gaea Mission - The ground-breaking 80's classic is back in this highly-anticipated next generation experience. Players will be treated to an immersive journey with an engaging story in the vast, free-roaming environment that spans 33 unique islands in 6 different climatic areas. Players will battle over air, land and sea in this exciting combination of the 1st and 3rd person action genre with strategic elements where the exploration and mastering of tactics is key and the thrill of a successful fight will spur the player onward to a victorious experience like no other.
You are the commander of a near-future aircraft carrier of immense power, with many tools and vehicles at your disposal. Landing in an unfamiliar, free-roaming environment, exploration will be key and the thrill of discovery will spur you onward.
The colony planetoid of Taurus is a pivotal battleground in the United Earth Coalition (UEC)'s long campaign against the rogue Asian Pacific Alliance (APA), who gained dominion over Earth in an apocalyptic conflict. The wide oceans of Taurus are dotted with resource-rich islands of varying composition and hiding many secrets.
Weather is simultaneously simulated across whole vast archipelago of Taurus moon. From nasty storms on ice covered islands, through foggy weather on marsh islands, to cloudless sky of summer temperate islands the weather on Taurus is not only infuencing visibility and graphic appeal but has dynamic effects on game environment including grass, trees and sea.
Key Features:
- Gaea Mission campaign – Follow the deep story coinciding with the second book of the Gaea Universe trilogy and evolve from an underdog to a skilled Carrier commander and prevail against all odds with your ragtag crew.
- Free roam strategy mode – Enjoy a game mode closely based on the original 80s classics! Choose startup settings and the balance of power and challenge the enemy carrier to an ultimate strategic duel.
- Massive game environment – Explore 33 unique islands in 6 distinct climatic zones.
- Unique game mechanics - Control a seamless blend of real-time remotely controllable vehicles with a programmable battle computer to dominate the battlefield.
- Unit management – Acquire and manufacture new upgrades, weapons and enhancements for your carrier and vehicles, but don't forget to keep an eye on your ammo and fuel stocks as well.
- Strategy – Traverse the seas to establish a network of island bases for defense, mining and manufacturing. Keep a steady supply of resources and equipment to push your campaign forward.
In 2011, the original Carrier Command celebrated its 23rd Anniversary. Many long-time gamers already know and love the game, but the Gaea Mission will thrust it into the spotlight once more. Here you can reflect on days past, when a flickery monitor and a dodgy 5.25" disk were the best friends a gamer could have.

Anthony D'Angelo might have penned those words a mere 15 years ago, but the founders of Deer & Deer Hunting Magazine implemented the principle as a mission statement more than 33 years ago. D&DH expanded that vision of providing practical and comprehensive information for white-tailed deer hunters by branching out into television and relaunching our Web site in 2005.
This year marks the era of yet another milestone: fusing all three mediums in the creation of the D&DH Insider program. If you're serious about whitetails, this is
a great package for you: a year subscription to D&DH, full access to seven online hunting seminars, and an exclusive insider's discount to any product at www.shopdeerhunting.com — with no limits and free shipping on qualified purchases. Best of all, you don't need to be a new subscriber to take advantage of this offer.
Current customers will have a year (10 issues) added to their subscription when they upgrade to Insider status.
D&DH is a magazine produced for you: the serious whitetail hunter. An annual subscription brings you 10 info-packed issues. No elk. No antelope. No moose. No
bears. And no turkeys. Not that there's anything wrong with those game animals. They're certainly fun to hunt, but they're not what D&DH is about. We are all whitetails, all the time.
In case this is your first time reading D&DH, our issue dates and themes are as follows:
Summer: Land Management Issue.
August: Bow-Hunting Issue.
Deer Hunters' Equipment Annual.
September: Strategies for the Pre-Rut.
October: Hunting Rutting Bucks.
November: Special Big-Buck Issue.
December: Gun-Hunting Issue.
January: Late-Season Strategies.
March: All-Season Hunting Issue.
June: Best New Deer Gear.
A subscription is the obvious component of being a D&DH Insider. Early reports from our focus groups — D&DH fans and several members of our online Pro Staff — indicate a major drawing card will be the unlimited access to our exclusive whitetail seminars. As a D&DH Insider, you can download seven seminars in their entirety. Listen to them as many times as you wish in the privacy of your home. Or, invite your hunting buddies over and share your favorite segments. The pre-recorded seminars, valued at $9.99 each, feature more than seven hours worth of tips, tactics and strategies to help make you a better deer hunter and land manager.
Topics include:
1. "Advanced Trail-Camera Tactics" with Publisher Brad Rucks.
2. "Hunting Whitetails by the Moon" with Contributing Editor Charles Alsheimer.
3. "Predicting the Whitetail Rut" with Charles Alsheimer.
4. "Advanced Food Plot Management" with whitetail nutrition specialist and D&DH Field Editor Matt Harper.
5. "Finding Mature Bucks on Public Property" presented by Managing Editor Jacob Edson.
I am honored to host the other two seminars, which cover:
6. "Proven Tactics for Hunting Pressured Deer," and
7. "How to Identify, Hunt and Kill the Biggest Buck on Your Property."
Each seminar includes easy-to-follow course outlines and question-and-answer segments. This is only the tip of the cedar swamp, so to speak. As we move forward, D&DH Insiders will be included in other special offers and privileges.

The devil might be in the details, but the snowball on "FHSU at Dodge City" is rolling downhill, FHSU President Ed Hammond told faculty members Friday.
Aspects of the plan to convert Dodge City Community College into a Fort Hays State University "baccalaureate center" and technical institute are not negotiable, Fort Hays State University President Ed Hammond said during an all-campus meeting of college employees Friday.
"Everything is subject to change except the things that are specific in the white paper," Hammond said. The white paper titled "Fort Hays State University at Dodge City" outlines how DCCC will cede academic control of the college to the university.
A vote by the DCCC Board of Trustees in front of a full-capacity crowd Tuesday constituted an agreement that could be taken to the state, Hammond said. Trustees Merrill Conant and Morris Reeves, who sat on the panel with Hammond, did not offer an alternate explanation.
The timeline for implementation "begins with the vote out of the board earlier in the week," Hammond said. "The next step is for the Board of Regents to approve the white paper. Then it will go to the state as we need to develop the enabling legislation and a funding request."
Among those non-negotiable elements in the proposal are the continued existence of the DCCC taxing entity, $10 million from the state to construct a technical institute building and $5 million annually in the state's university budget for continued operation of the campus's academic programs.
The money for the $10 million building is likely to be in addition to money donated by local businesses, Hammond said.
The DCCC Board of Trustees will collect property taxes to maintain infrastructure, provide scholarships and fund athletics among other non-academic functions.
Hammond said he hopes to get approval by the Board of Regents before the 2015 legislative session where funding could be secured in the 2016 budget.
This timeline is consistent with statements made by Hammond in November while appearing on a public access television program to discuss his upcoming retirement from the university's top post in July. The second year after retiring would be spent "working with the governor on a project that really impacts Fort Hays," he said. The interviewer did not press for details.
Confusion over the finality of the vote Tuesday did not just extend to members of the college staff and administration — several contacted the Daily Globe to ask for an immediate correction, claiming the vote was not an approval of the proposal but a go-ahead for exploring the idea — but to members of the Board of Trustees, as well.
The spouse of one trustee came to the Daily Globe office Wednesday criticizing the accuracy of the newspaper's report, stating that the board would make another vote before the state government started its approval process.
Trustee Floris Jean Hampton sent an open letter to the newspaper addressed to Ford County taxpayers and college employees quoting the language of the motion passed earlier in the week and stating that "the motion does not say that we have adopted the vague outline in that paper but it does mandate that the Board of Trustees and President Woodburn work together to develop a more specific plan for continued discussion about the future of Dodge City Community College."
Hampton wrote that she has been asked if the Board of Trustees will have another vote on the issue.
"If we do not take the time and make the effort to accept this mandated responsibility, we should all be recalled," she wrote.
Hammond and Board of Regents member Shane Bangerter were critical of insinuations that the plan had been developed in a secretive manner.
To those that did not expect the sudden introduction of the "FHSU at Dodge City" proposal, "I don't know where they've been; this has been a discussion in the community for a long, long time," Hammond said.
When asked by a faculty member why those discussions did not include the wider public and faculty, but rather certain elected officials and prominent area business owners, Reeves replied: "You have to start someplace, and that was the reason for developing the white paper."
"I didn't realize you'd been excluded," Board of Regents member Shane Bangerter said, which drew laughter from the audience.
"We've had meeting on this and been open for more than a decade. I was invited to be part of the community group. As far as I know it was open to anyone who would donate their time and wanted to be part of the conversation."
"We've had literally dozens upon dozens of meetings that have been open to the public. Certainly it was not our intent to hide anything," Bangerter said.
"Quite honestly I'm offended for you to suggest we tried to keep this secret," he said. "Anybody who wanted to be involved in this process over the last five to 10 years certainly could have been and no one would have been excluded."
Another member of the audience asked if the residents of Ford County would get the chance to vote on the proposal.
"I'm assuming that Ford County elected their (trustees) and they act on behalf of the residents, right?" Hammond said.
During the question and answer session that lasted more than two hours, Hammond spoke on the proposed scale and scope of the three academic units: a lower division college, an upper division college and the major piece, a technical institute with programs created through up to 10 corporate partnerships.
The upper division college, by far the smallest of the three units, would only bring professors to Dodge City "based on demand," Hammond said. Instead, baccalaureate programming could be delivered through online or other "modalities."
Hammond expects about 2,000 students to be enrolled in the technical institute at a time and 1,500 enrolled in the lower division college.
The technical college could have some Bachelor's degree programs, Hammond said, but only based on the need and discretion of the 10 corporate partners the school hopes to attract.
The Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology, the school seen as a model for the proposed technical institute, offers 31 Associate of Applied Science degree programs, 27 of which are technical in nature. Nine of those courses are branded and administered in cooperation with a manufacturer, including General Motors, Kamatsu and Aggreko.
None of the three Bachelor of Technology degree programs at OSUIT are administered in cooperation with corporations.

Top UN political official calls for restraint and dialogue to de-escalate tensionsDec 7, 2013
UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman concluded a three-day visit to Ukraine. While in Kyiv, Under-Secretary-General Feltman represented UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the 20th Ministerial Meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. On behalf of the Secretary-General, he congratulated Ukraine on its successful Chairmanship of the OSCE in 2013.
The Under-Secretary-General also had the occasion to meet with representatives of Ukraine`s government and Parliament, political parties, and civil society organizations. In those discussions, he expressed the UN`s solid commitment to the people of Ukraine, an important member state of the organization.
Under-Secretary-General Feltman conveyed his grave concern regarding the current situation and underscored the message of Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in rejecting violence and calling for absolute restraint. He urged Ukraine`s political and civil society leaders to engage immediately in dialogue to identify among themselves the means to address Ukraine`s political and economic issues. In that regard, he recommended that they seek peaceful ways on an urgent basis to de-escalate the current tensions.

As an instinctive photographer, I have always been inspired by the whims of nature and human behaviours for most of my personal artistic projects. It is a way of submitting to the forces of nature and of paying close attention to human beings and their actions. The contemplation of everything around me becomes more intense behind my lens.
I was trained as a film photographer and I now work with digital cameras, but I have not forgotten the magic of films and film development. I produce photographic reports and also write articles in the press, while spending as much time as possible on my personal artistic projects.
I travel as often as I can and choose my destinations according to my photographic aspirations. For some years, I have been working on the consequences of tourism and the impact of man on nature. Beyond the artistic dimension, photography is a reference, so there is a genuine responsibility.
I used to work with Nikon cameras. I switched to Fuji with the X100S. I was definitely seduced by the main controls on the camera body, its compactness, sturdiness as well as by its sharp images – I quickly turned to Fuji for 100% of my work.
When it was released, I had the opportunity to use the X-T2 in Iceland: robust, quick and accurate, with a significant increase in resolution, this new camera meets and even exceeds all of my expectations! The ergonomics of this new camera are extremely good and even better with the Booster Grip. The harsh Icelandic weather and the forces of nature did not intimidate my X-T2 which demonstrated exemplary reliability. Lastly, although the autofocus was truly put to the test, it was impressively accurate (in thick fog, for example). In short, the X-T2 is the perfect companion for all photographers who need speed, robustness and accuracy in a compact design.
