New top five for top WR Treadwell
[rl]Several teams have bounced in and out of the top group for the nation's No. 1 wide receiver, Laquon Treadwell of Crete-Monee (Ill.). But late last week the four-star pass-catcher settled on a solid top five.
"My top is Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Michigan State and Michigan," Treadwell reported. "[That is a] final five for now."
Treadwell has visited each of those schools except for the two Oklahoma-based schools. He plans an official visit to Oklahoma the weekend of Oct. 26 when the Sooners are scheduled to host Notre Dame. An official visit to Oklahoma State is planned, but a date has not been scheduled yet for that trip.
The next official visit on Treadwell's schedule will take place this coming weekend when he travels to Ole Miss. This will be Treadwell's second visit to Ole Miss this season. He previously attended their game against Texas in September.
An unofficial visit to Missouri was scheduled for this weekend, but the distance to the Tiger's campus prevented him from making the drive. Instead, Treadwell stayed close to home and attended the Notre Dame-Miami game at Soldier Field Saturday night and came away impressed with the Fighting Irish's offense.
"It was a great game overall except on a couple blown coverages," Treadwell said, "but the offense was clicking, [and the] great, young quarterback controlled the team very well. The wide receivers were making plays everywhere, and I love their style of offense."
Whether Notre Dame or other schools are able to crack Treadwell's top group down the road remains to be seen, but the five schools now up top appear to have the inside track.

When a brain tumor's location or proximity to vital tissue makes minimally invasive procedures — such as the Endoscopic Endonasal Approach (EEA) or Neuroendoport® surgery — difficult, our neurosurgeons may perform a tumor resection through traditional, microsurgical methods.
Microsurgery may require facial and scalp incisions, or incisions behind the ear, in order to safely access and remove the brain tumor.

A black and white AO map should work out of the box. I assume red, green, and blue channels are sharing the same values. So in that case, ambient and cavity, taken from the red and the green channels, will have apply the same amount of darkening on ambient, diffuse, and specular lighting.
Oh, I get what you're saying. I think if this texture only has one channel, OpenGL will just place that channel into the red while setting the rest of the channels to 1.0. So your map will only affect ambient occlusion and not cavity occlusion. So, yes, it'll still work out of the box just a bit more work is needed if you decide you want your map to affect diffuse and specular lighting and not just ambient lighting.

SCOTLAND, Pa. — Winebrenner Theological Seminary announced the finalization of a $1.8 million deal to purchase the former Scotland School for Veterans Children on Friday.
Settlement of the property between Winebrenner, of Findlay, Ohio, and the state of Pennsylvania's Department of General Services, which manages the property, will take place in late May or early June.
Winebrenner Vice President and Director of the Pennsylvania Campus David Newell said not only will the Ohio seminary be opening a satellite campus in Scotland, Pa., but also the school will partner with other groups to utilize the 185-acre campus.
"With the opportunities that we believe will manifest here, we believe there will be significant jobs," Newell said during a news conference on Friday at the chapel at SSVC.
With 70 buildings on campus, Michael Walker, chairman of Winebrenner's board of trustees, said the redevelopment of the property will be multi-faceted.
"We'd like the seminary to be here and offering classes. But, we're also looking at partnering with other schools, agencies and enterprises to have a presence here on campus as well," Walker said.
Walker said the seminary is looking at the possibility of adding a senior living facility to the campus as well as other schools.
State Sen. Rich Alloway II, R-Franklin/Adams/York, and Rep. Rob Kauffman, R-Franklin/Cumberland, were among those who spearheaded efforts to find a buyer for the former veterans school, which closed in 2009.
It was a long process. So many people came and looked at the property, Kauffman said.
"The folks at Winebrenner want this facility to be part of our greater community. They want people to be here. I can't think of a better fit for this community than Winebrenner," Kauffman said.
John Boozer, board member, Scotland School for Veterans Children, said seeing the school close was incredibly difficult.
"The concern was it (SSVC) would be sitting here dormant for a long time and decay to a point where it wouldn't be able to be reused," Boozer said. "Winebrenner has a vision for this — has a redevelopment for it. The good news is that this property won't be decaying and it won't be dormant. Winebrenner is the absolute best solution for this school and this property to carry it well into the future."
Operationally, Newell said the seminary can't offer credit courses until receiving state approval.
A realistic target date is January 2014, he said.
The seminary, affiliated with the Church of God, hopes to have 500 students on campus within five years.
The school does have authorization to offer pastoral courses in the state, and plans to offer those immediately.
Newell said SSVC's chapel will house seminary offices and some classrooms.
The Scotland campus education and conference center will be located in the education building complex, he said.
"It will house a consortium of schools and colleges and host conferences and events related to education," Newell said. "We have already begun to book space and will make good use of the 30 leasable classrooms and the 650-seat auditorium that will serve as an opportunity for the educational community and organizations looking for space to train their employees."
The seminary has formed an exploratory advisory group to expand educational opportunities to the public as well as foster opportunities to area businesses to develop training on the campus, Newell said.
"Other plans for this campus are still under development, "Newell said. "Franklin County is a phenomenal place to be. The people we have had the opportunity to work with are top notch."
Despite the redevelopment of the property, Newell said the seminary is sensitive to the campus' history.
"We have a building reserved for the alumni group, and they will house a lot of artifacts as a museum that will be open to the public," he said.

Filed under: Features | Tags: conservation, Mark Gottsegen, Trevor Spauldin
Don't bother asking Mark Gottsegen – founder of AMIEN, author of The Painter's Handbook, teacher, artist, and all around art materials guru – what's the best type of paint to use? "I get asked this all the time," said Gottsegen, who took time out from writing to speak to me last week. "And I say, well, I can't tell you that."
It's not that he doesn't have opinions on the matter, but as someone devoted to the scientific study of art materials he realizes the importance of maintaining an unbiased position. AMIEN, which stands for Art Materials Information and Education Network, bills itself as "the only unbiased source of information about art materials on the internet." They do not accept advertising and do not allow the promotion of any specific products. In a series of forums on the AMIEN website, users can post their questions about art materials and get answers from a team of knowledgeable moderators and other experts in the field who monitor the site. (Gottsegen informed me that he personally reviews each answer for accuracy). AMIEN's board of directors includes conservation scientists from top institutions, founders of well-known art supply companies, and artists from around the county. Many of them help answer user's questions on the site as well. – Trevor Spaulding, Los Angeles Contributor
While you are never going to reach a consensus among painters about something as personal and subjective as art making, when it comes to materials, there are some objective realities that dictate proper use. Sure, you can ignore them, but you do so at your own peril.
"If you make [art] out of stuff you don't know anything about, you might make stuff that doesn't last," said Gottsegen. "I'm happy to say to any artist, I'm not prescribing to you how you should make your work. But if you want to make work that you're going to sell, that you want to last, you can't do what you propose to do because it won't last. On the other hand you can make it this way and it will last."
What follows is some advice for painters who are interested in seeing their work withstand the test of time, at least in a physical sense. Here are five tips gleaned from my conversation with Gottsegen that I think painters will find useful, interesting, and possibly even surprising.
1. 'Archival' is a marketing term.
The word 'archival' gets thrown around a lot these days in relation to painting supplies. But as it turns out, the term is too inexplicit to be of much real use. "Words like archival are used as marketing hooks," said Gottsegen. "People assume that if something is labeled archival that means it's durable. But the word does not mean that. The word means, in the context, of or about archives…I think people ought to use the simpler word 'durable' and never mind the marketers."
So don't rely on the word 'archival' printed on the packaging of your art supplies to determine the durability of the material. Instead, try to find out what's in it and how it was made. That will be a much better indication of quality.
2. That ain't gesso.
There is a good chance that the white containers lying around your studio labeled 'gesso' are not actually filled with gesso, but with acrylic dispersion ground. What's the difference? "Gesso is a specific material," said Gottsegen. "And acrylic dispersion ground is only related to real gesso in the fact that it's white and it contains chalk. Otherwise, it ain't."
Traditional gesso is a mixture of inert pigment, water, and protein-based glue (like the kind made from an animal hide). It was used historically as a ground for paintings done on panel. Real gesso dries to a brittle film that is prone to cracking, so it isn't suitable for flexible supports like stretched canvas.
Acrylic dispersion grounds, the most common type of 'primer' found in art stores today, are made with an acrylic polymer instead of the protein-based glue found in actual gesso. Sometime around the middle of the twentieth century, companies started using the word 'gesso' to refer to acrylic dispersion grounds and the term stuck.
Today it's common to hear just about any white painting ground – be it real gesso, an oil ground, or an acrylic dispersion ground – called gesso. But in fact they are all different materials, with different properties, suited for different applications. The ground you chose to paint on is an important part of both the aesthetic and structural make-up of your painting. It's worthwhile to look into the benefits and drawbacks of each.
3. Size matters.
Size is a material that can be applied to canvas to protect it from the paint layers above. There are a few reasons you might want to apply a coat of size (like an acrylic polymer or a PVA glue) to the raw canvas before applying a ground.
If you choose to use an oil ground on fabric like canvas or linen, sizing is a must. "With an oil ground, you definitely have to use a size," said Gottsegen. "Oil dries by oxidizing. If you strike a match to light a candle, the match is oxidizing, just at a very rapid rate. I used to tell my students linseed oil, or any other drying oil that dries by oxidation, is doing a slow burn."
That "slow burn" will eventually rot the canvas, but a layer of size applied to the fabric can protect it by keeping it from coming into contact with the oil.
Acrylic dispersion grounds (must…avoid…instinct…to call it…gesso) won't do the same damage to canvas as oil grounds, but you should still use a sizing coat for a different reason. "Acrylic paints stay wet for a while and they can leach organic material out of the canvas," said Gottsegen. "Canvas is not pristine and clean, it's got specks of dirt and stuff like that in there, and an acrylic paint that wets the ground enough to wick the organic pollutants out of the canvas can discolor the ground. It's called support induced discoloration and it was documented in a study by Golden Artist's Colors years ago." So if you paint with acrylics and you want to avoid future discoloration of your work, sizing the canvas can help.
Traditionally, rabbit skin glue was used to size canvases prepared with an oil ground. Some painters still insist on using it, despite research that proves it to be problematic. Sure, all the old masters used it, but that's because it was the only thing available at the time.
"Rabbit skin glue is hygroscopic, it absorbs atmospheric moisture and it expands and contacts vigorously," said Gottsegen. "This was proven 35 years ago. Marion Mecklenburg at the Smithsonian did extensive studies on rabbit skin glue and concluded that it's not a good thing to use…Now that there are better choices, that do not pose such jeopardy to the painting, why not use the better ones?"
If you still insist on using rabbit skin glue, there is a way to mitigate its shortcomings. "If you want to use rabbit skin glue as a size on your canvas that is mounted on a panel, that's not a problem," said Gottsegen. "If you put it on a panel that restrains the expansion and contraction, then that's not a big deal."
So save the rabbits. Or don't. It's up to you.
4. The fingernail test.
Oil paint can take a long time to dry and many of the problems that affect oil paintings over time have to do with their drying. You want to make sure an oil ground is thoroughly dry before you start painting on it. Some people argue waiting at least six months, maybe longer. Likewise, a finished oil painting needs to dry thoroughly before a varnish should be applied over it.
No artist wants to wait months to begin a painting, or to apply the final coat of varnish once it's finished. The truth is, drying rates vary greatly based on the thickness of a painting and on the temperature and humidity levels they are exposed to. When I asked Gottsegen about this, he recommended a useful test to determine if a layer of oil paint is dry enough.
In regards to grounds, "if you can stick your fingernail on the [oil] ground and not make a dent in it, it's ready to paint on," said Gottsegen. "Usually, if you keep it in a warm and dry room, a week is good enough."
In regards to a finished oil painting, "there's no hard and fast rule because some paintings are thick and some are thin, so some will dry slower and some will dry faster," said Gottsegen. "The fingernail test is a really good test. You take your fingernail and you press it on the paint and if your fingernail can leave a mark, the paint is not dry enough to varnish. If it doesn't leave a mark, like a dent, then you can varnish it. I've had oil paintings dry in a month because I don't paint that thickly but then I have friends who paint with lots of impasto and they have to wait a year if they want to varnish."
5. Stretched canvas is a poor painting support for oil paints.
Bottom line, oil paintings on stretched canvas are eventually going to form cracks. "Linseed oil grounds or even oil alkyd grounds and linseed oil paints or walnut oil paints…they all get brittle as they age," said Gottsegen. "And they are much more likely to crack if they are on a flexible support."
The number one thing you can do as a painter to help ensure the durability of your paintings is to paint on a rigid support, like a wooden panel. If you prefer the texture of canvas, you can mount it to a rigid support instead of stretching it. "A lot of people don't like to hear that because it makes a very heavy support," said Gottsegen. "But if you're going to paint with oil paint, then [the canvas] ought to be stretched on a panel, not loose."
Acrylic paints don't get as brittle as oil paints over time, and they may avoid some of the problems that oil paints encounter as they age. But all paintings, no matter the medium, still risk the possibility of being punctured or torn if they are simply stretched as opposed to mounted.
What is a suitable way to mount canvas to a panel? Acrylic dispersion gel mediums make an excellent and durable adhesive. "I put a spoonful on the panel and I spread it out with a spatula and make sure the panel is evenly coated, not very thickly, and then press the canvas on," said Gottsegen. "Sometimes I dampen the fabric with a spray bottle so that some of the gel medium is drawn up into the fabric to make a better bond. I roll it on with a brayer to make sure that everything is sticking and there are no bubbles."
You can find several detailed descriptions of this process in the archive of the AMIEN forums.
If any of this information is news to you, then you've probably made some paintings that don't quite adhere to Gottsegen's advice. Now what? One last tip – how you store a painting after it's been made can play a big role in its durability over time. "It's the cyclical change that's tough on a work of art," said Gottsegen. "Because if you have an organic material like a canvas or wood that is continually expanding and contracting, it's bound to give up a little bit. A lot of the risk can be mitigated by environmental conditions. In other words, if you keep the painting in a very stable environment that has moderate room temperatures and humidity that doesn't radically change and no direct sunlight, it will last a lot longer. That's the goal of a museum."
Gottsegen went on to point out that museums can spend millions of dollars a year maintaining a proper environment for artworks. That might be out of your price range, but you can at least consider not hanging your work in the bathroom.

[…] Painting, You're Doing It Wrong. […]
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Isnt there a concern that natural resins ,emanating from the wood in the panel, over time will discolor the painting surface up through he acrylic emulsion layer that you used to adhere the canvas to the panel? I have always taken an extra step to block this possibility by first painting w/ a water base stain blocking product like "Kills". It would be wonderful to know that you think this is unnecessary! thanks MH
Miriam, I've read about that concern as well and I know some people do advocate sizing the panel before mounting canvas to it. There is actually a lot info about this on the AMIEN forums already and if you can't find an answer it would be a great question to ask there.
Great info on acrylics – my material of choice.

Very helpful informtion. I use Knox Gelatine as a sizing.
I did some experimenting in the mid nineteen eighties. Based on the basic theory of the Polymer nature on the molecular structure of polymer resin in acrylic "gesso", versus the nature of the molecular structure of an oil base film of paint (especially one that was executed using a Damar varnish, Linseed oil and turpentine medium). I did a number of canvases with 14 to 20 coats of the acrylic gesso….the later coats thinned up to 30% with water….and applied very meticulously with a natural bristle varnishing brush. The ides was to use the "stretch and return" polymer nature of the ground to absorb the expansion and contraction of the canvas fiber due to humidity. On the face side of the Gesso mass film (ground) the idea was that the "memory" quality of the polymer resin in the Gesso would hold it's structure underneath the oil film. The multiple layers of Gess in between would form a "dispersion layer" to dissipate the stretching tension from the canvas side to the oil paint side of the body of the Gesso film. Thus the oil would in a sense be touching and adhering to a "rigid like" part of the ground, with plenty of flexible gesso molecules to absorb and diminish any tension beginning in the canvas before it could effect the oil paint film. Also worth noting is that I was using refined linseed oil in my medium, which contributes along with the damar varnish to a brittle oil paint film.
The result: I kept several of the canvases to see if the theory worked. After five years I removed two of the paintings from the stretchers, to test the results. First I rolled one canvas in a tighter and tighter rolls- no cracking in the surface of the painting. Second I gently folded the same canvas in half- no cracking. Thirdly I folded and crimped with strong pressure the same canvas- still no cracking.
The only way I could induce the surface of the painting to crack was by folding the painting in half in one direction then folding it in half again in a 90 degree direction, and then crimping the juncture of the double fold….finally the paint surface cracked….but only in the immediate one inch diameter of the double fold junction.
The results were still the same as of three years ago when I did the last test.
Although I seemed to have solved any issues about cracking….I found the smoothness of the surface too slick for my work…especially for my plein air work. So now I use a modified system developing a Gesso Ground of anywhere from four to eight layers depending on the "grain" of the canvas or linen I am using.
This method of a dozen or more coats of "quality" acrylic "Gesso", should be excellent for studio work when the painting is executed through multiple session of painting.
re: When applying canvas/ linen to a wood support, the surest support would be 1/2″ to 5/8″ clear birch plywood…..then the addition of multiple layers of acrylic Gesso.
Of course this is only practical for small scale work because of the weight factor.

Senate Finance Subcommittee on ERS & TRS Employee Benefits Issues Discussed Health and Retirement Benefits
AUSTIN - The Senate Finance Interim Subcommittee on ERS & TRS Employee Benefit Issues examined how the state should fund health care for its employees, today, Thursday, May 4, 2000, at the Texas State Capitol.
Senate Finance Committee Chair Senator Bill Ratliff has asked the subcommittee to review employee benefit issues facing the Employees Retirement System (ERS) and Teacher Retirement System (TRS).
Invited testimony began with Jerry Haddican of the Texas Legislative Council. He briefed the members about the legal background on retirement benefits provided through ERS. Stephanie Coates of the Legislative Budget Board spoke about appropriations to ERS for retirement benefits. Sheila Beckett, Executive Director of the Employees Retirement System then explained the defined benefit plans, deferred compensation plans, the TEXFLEX savings program, and other benefits provided through ERS.
The testimony was continued by Ronald K. Snell, Division Director of the National Conference of State Legislatures, who spoke about contributions and benefit plans in other states. He was followed by Matthew P. Lathrop, the Director of the Commerce and Economic Development Task Force, of the American Legislative Exchange Council. He spoke on defined contribution plans. Ginger Smith with the State Pension Review Board also talked about the defined contribution and benefit plans. Charles Dunlap, Executive Director of the Teacher Retirement System, provided the last testimony from invited guests. He explained the catastrophic health insurance coverage option for teachers.
Members of the Legislative Council informed the members that state employees can retire when they reach 60 years of age, if they have at least 5 years of service with the state. Last year, the Legislature assigned more than $596 million for ERS retirement benefits for the 2000-2001 biennium, an increase of $63 million since the last budget. State employees contribute 6% of their monthly salary to the retirement program, which the state then matches.
Sheila Beckett briefed the subcommittee about some of the changes about to be made in health insurance for state employees. Beginning September 1, 2000 employees receiving health care from four different HMOs (Health Maintenance Organization) will have to look somewhere else. Humana, Aetna, Prudential and First Care will no longer provide health services to the state. Just over half of all state employees are and remain covered by Health Select, administered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield.
Another issue the state and its employees face is the increasing price of health care. Employees will pay 16% more in 2001 than this year. A state employee will pay $177 a month if his family is covered by Health Select Plus HMO, or $202 if their plan is with Health Select. Senator Ogden said the increase would mean from $360 to $400 a year per family, and close to $500 if the co-payment for medicines were included.
With the purpose of attracting more employees to Health Select Plus, which is cheaper for everyone involved, Ogden proposed to share the state's savings with the employees. The state pays $89 less for Health Select Plus than for Health Select, while the employee only saves $29. Ogden said a more equal share would be an incentive for the employee to choose the cheaper plan. Although more restricted and not available throughout the state, witnesses told the subcommittee that Health Select Plus is gaining acceptance rapidly.
Following the invited testimony, the subcommittee heard from six members of the public. Lillie Gilligan, a retired state employee, claimed her insurance company refuses to pay for the only drug that alleviates her pain. The company, she says, would only pay for other drugs she has already tried with no results. The witness said she had to purchase the medication with her own money. She also stressed that the state should encourage healthy lifestyles among the employees.
The subcommittee consists of five members appointed by Finance Committee Chair Bill Ratliff. Senators Steve Ogden of Bryan, serves as chair, Gonzalo Barrientos of Austin, Mario Gallegos, Jr. of Galena Park, John Carona of Dallas, and Jon Lindsay of Houston are the other members of the subcommittee. The charges include, but are not limited to, funding contingencies, projected funding needs of TRS-Care, HMO competition and the cost of providing health plans, and the issues surrounding provision of Optional Retirement System or other alternatives for state employees. After public testimony, the subcommittee recessed subject to the call of the chair. The Senate Finance Subcommittee on ERS & TRS Employee Benefits will meet again to continue discussion of its charges.

Josh Groban on Ally McBeal
By cdparazo
February 24, 2008 6:06am CST
I just watched (again!) for the nth time the episode of Ally Mcbeal wherein Josh Groban sang 'To Where You Are'. Though I have watched it a lot of times, I am still moved by it, the sadness, the hope, the death, the life and most of all the love, that is being expressed in the song and in that particular episode. I still can't help but cry over it, over the tragedies that happened and that faith that keeps us all moving on. All in the end, what remains is really hope, faith and love... even for those loved ones who has gone before us. Have you seen that same episode? How do you feel about it?

It is indeed sad but life does go on. And instead of being emotionally crippled by such as experience, one can find strength in God in love that we have around us. We just have to open ourselves and be receptive to those who are still with us. God bless!

Josh Groban was on two episodes of Ally McBeal. One from the fourth season and one from the fifth season. He sang in both episodes. He has such a deep and moving voice. It's amazing!

CHICAGO (CBS) — A Cook County Jail officer faces prison time for allegedly hitting an inmate and knocking him down.
As WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya reports, prosecutors say a 20-year-old inmate was being processed at the jail in June, when he told sheriff's Correctional Officer Rico Palomino he needed something from the inventoried property area and kept walking down a hallway.
LISTEN: WBBM Newsradio's Bernie Tafoya reports
But Palomino got out from behind his desk, followed the burly detainee, and ordered him to return to the lockup area or Palomino would "f**k him up."
After that, the football lineman-sized Palomino allegedly punched the inmate in the face so hard that he was knocked to the ground and was bleeding from the mouth.
Palomino also allegedly told the inmate that he should tell people he had tried to hit Palomino first, or else the officer would report that the inmate had tried to escape, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
The victim needed stitches after Palomino punched him, prosecutors said.
Palomino, 40, is charged with official misconduct. He is alleged to have filed a series of false reports about what happened – claiming that the inmate grabbed his shirt first – but prosecutors say it was all caught on video, and the inmate did nothing to Palomino before the officer attacked him.
Palomino's bond was set at $10,000.

Five things for pharma marketers to know: Tuesday, May 31, 2016
1. Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) called for a federal investigation into Purdue Pharma, OxyContin's manufacturer, after the Los Angeles Times reported that the company's painkiller wears off early in patients — which may lead to addiction. (LAT)
2. Jazz Pharmaceuticals acquired Celator Pharmaceuticals in a deal worth roughly $1.5 billion. Celator has no drugs currently on the market, but has a leukemia drug, known as Vyxeos, in its pipeline. Jazz already sells two blood cancer treatments: Erwinaze and Defitelio.
3. Intercept Pharmaceuticals won accelerated approval for Ocaliva. The drug treats patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, a condition that damages ducts that carry digestive fluid. Ocaliva is the first approved treatment for the disease in the U.S.
4. Biogen and AbbVie received approval for their multiple-sclerosis treatment Zinbryta. The drug is administered once a month and comes with a warning for severe liver injury. (PharmaTimes)
5. Reps. Fred Upton (R-MI) and Joe Pitts (R-PA) accused the FDA of delaying off-label marketing guidelines. They wrote in a letter that the "HHS has not allowed FDA to issue its completed draft guidance addressing the scope of permissible 'scientific exchange.'"

Smart Encryption Management
One of the most complex and tedious tasks related to IT-security is the vast administration with many manual processes. With Hiddn Security's unique key management system (KMS) one can from a single and centralized user interface safeguard data on all laptops in the organization with user-friendly encryption.
- IT-administrator/Security officer can through the centralized interface:
- Create, manage, and retire encryption keys and communication key set
- Create and manage the encryption keys' attributes
- Key escrow Management of roles and services
- Manage passphrase attributes
Easy administration of mobile work
The best security is always the one that makes IT-services easy to use, and simple to maintain. We have created a management system that allows the mobile workforce to get all benefits of flexibility without management having to be concerned about protection of sensitive data and information. It is easy to implement Hiddn technology, and we offer detailed instructions on how to install and configure units prior to end-user operation. This includes the strict procedures for converting unprotected data to become protected. The KMS is installed and delivered on a dedicated computer along with a Smart-card reader/writer.
For security reasons, it is always recommended to install a Hiddn KMS on a Hiddn Laptop1+ disk and store the Hiddn KMS in a physically secured room. Designated crypto-officer person should be the only persons authorized to use the Hiddn KMS.
Issues Related to Upgrade of Existing PCs
Upgrading a laptop PC in use will require a change of hard disk from the original 2.5" hard drive to the hard drive mounted on the Hiddn Laptop1+ unit. This replacement will leave the customer with an added security since the original 2.5" that can be used as a master for producing the encrypted (new) disk – Hiddn Laptop1+. After completion of the data transfer the customer can either store the original disk as an extra precaution, or ensure that it is handled in the most secure and environmentally friendly manner. We offer specialized partners in each market to assist with erasing and disposal.
More technical details are described in our Support section.

At medievally speaking, we recently published Leila K. Norako's review of American Sniper:
Set in the early 2000s and inspired by Chris Kyle's eponymous autobiography, the film American Sniper hardly appears inflected with medievalism at first glance. It seeks – according to screen writer Jason Hall – to focus on a single, historic warrior's consecutive tours of duty in the Iraq war, and is strictly contemporary in that regard. The film, moreover, polarized audiences upon its release. While many praised Bradley Cooper's convincing performance and the film's portrayal of a serviceperson's struggles to reintegrate into civilian life after combat, others critiqued it for its inaccurate portrayal of the Iraq war and for its two-dimensional portrayal of the Iraqi people encountered by Kyle and his fellow sailors and soldiers. The film's controversial narrative harnesses affective power by way of a subtle but powerful medievalism.... You can read the full review HERE.

Many years ago I participated in a real house tour that some of my acquaintances had organized. While it was a joy to tour all the homes, the work to get them ready for a friend to see them all at once, was very intense and tiring. When other bloggers invited me to join blog tour of homes, I always declined because of the exhausting effort it would take to get all the rooms ready for photographing, and I was never certain I could complete the assignment in time for the date that was set.
Lately, the home tours shown on blogs have been done in small increments, sometimes only showing table vignettes or fireplace mantels. This made me feel a little more confident about having a house tour on my blog. You do not have to know the rooms or part of the rooms that are not ready yet. Since I am never able to get every area of my house ready at the same time, I will show what I can, for the next few days.
Not real donuts.
I do use the teapot and plate quite a bit.
This is a lot less stressful than having guest walk through every room in one day. I do hope to have other pictures for future posts during this festive season.

I must have slept on my side weird last night, as I'm now in almost incapacitating pain. I fear if a sneeze catches me off guard, I'll spew my visceral contents all over the 1976 World Book Encyclopedia set immediately to my left.
Cleaning supplies on hand are woefully inadequate for such a scenario.
I suppose this means I'd better finish this week's FCR before I turn the Command Center into even more of a biohazard than it already is.

Achievement Unlocked 3 is a platformer meta-game based on getting achievements, where you control a little elephant exploring the world, or at least the rooms he can reach. It is the sequel to Achievement Unlocked 2 and the third game in the series. The game was created by jmtb02 and features his trademark blue elephant protagonist.
Take control of your friendly blue elephant once again and try and get all of the 400 achievements in the game. The goal of the game is not to traverse levels without dying, but solely to get achievements. A lot of the time, dying is encouraged and helps get achievements. You may collect coins, touch blocks, die on spikes, use teleport tubes or play with each levels unique gadgets. Collected coins can be used to unlock more features of the game. Each level has a unique feature you must figure out in order to get achievements and progress the game.
The game has 400 achievements which are awarded for specific in-game tasks. Some are really simple and are almost impossible to avoid getting, such as achievements for moving your character and jumping. Some of them involve dying in a specific manner. There are some that are more difficult to get and require the player to work towards that specific goal. A full list is available on the official walkthrough.
- This game's Medium badge is the 2000th badge on Kongregate. Hooray!

Cenk hosting. The Daily Beast article that highlighted rape allegations in Donald Trump's divorce proceedings with Ivana Trump have made headlines. She spoke about being being raped by Trump during the marriage after getting a bad and painful plastic surgery job. She has recently changed her interpretation of the rape, calling it totally without merit. Trump's spokesperson came forward and sent a string of threats at the Daily Beast writer, including asserting that a person cannot rape their spouse. The spox had to eventually apologize for the profanity laced tirade against the writer. Cenk remembers the ad Trump ran in 1989 that called for the death penalty on 5 falsely accused Black men of rape in NYC.
A dentist from Minnesota has been identified as the man that killed a famous lion in Zimbabwe that was known to be friendly toward humans. He bribed someone $55K to lure the lion out of the national park before he shot him with a crossbow and eventually decapitated it.

Jimmy talks about how Chris Christie has turned his support from Springsteen and given it to Bon Jovi since Bruce has been making fun of him and Bridgegate. While more details emerge in the death of Sandra Bland, a voicemail she left a friend from jail has become public.

Authorities have also claimed that she consumed or smoked a large amount of marijuana in the jail. Jimmy rants on the original stop and provocation from the officer. Trump is threatening to run as a 3rd Party candidate since the RNC keeps treating him like garbage. This comes right after he vowed to not run as a 3rd Party candidate.

Cenk hosting. TYT adopts an iguana and asks the viewers to name it Iggy Azalea or Rick James. Cenk gives out the current results of the "Freak 16" and outrageous poll numbers on Donald Trump with a Washington Post/ABC Poll with the Don at the top with 24% and tapping into the base's desire of wanting a "strong leader", according to the poll. Lindsey Graham thinks he is in a fight with the Don, by stooping to his level with an appearance on CNN defending John McCain by calling Donald Trump a "jackass" and is pissed, the Don replys that he is a stiff an idiot, couldn't get a job in the private sector and gives out Lindsey's cell number on top of all that. Rush Limbaugh gives his observations and his love for The Don regarding his lack of an apology towards John McCain and veterans.
Cenk & Ana hosting. The conservative group looking to take down Planned Parenthood has released another secret taped video of a conversation about fetal tissue. Video of a negotiation about costs for shipping the tissue. The Conservative group's "buyer" was the person that increased the price via negotiation.

Cenk talks about how he's evolved on the abortion issue. A Right Wing Evangelical preacher traveled to Uganda, Russia, and Eastern Europe to spread his message of hate towards gay rights and push legislation to kill gay activists. Lots of anti-gay sentiment rose in these areas after this flood of hate was injected.

Cenk doesn't think this will run Trump out of the campaign even though many people think this is the end. Cenk illustrates it with What About Bob video. Video of Marco Rubio claiming that these comments disqualify Trump from the race. Cenk also remembers when the Bush campaign insinuated that McCain had an illegitimate Black daughter to Southern voters in the 2000 primary. Mitt Romney sent a shot at Trump via Twitter, forgetting that he sought out and got Trump's endorsement in 2008. Video of their niceties. Lindsey Graham responded by defending McCain on the loser debate, and defending illegal immigrants that Trump offended. With all of the condemnation coming from GOPers toward Trump over his disrespectful words about a decorated hero like McCain, they didn't have as much ire when they swiftboated John Kerry in the 2004 election. Video of Jake Tapper challenging one GOP Congressman on their swiftboating.
Ana joins Cenk for SCS. Latest developments on the group that put out the secretly filmed Planned Parenthood meeting about fetus organs. The group misrepresented itself in its tax status, deceiving the people that donate money to them. AshleyMadison.com was hacked, revealing information of many of the customers, threatening to do more unless their demands were met to shut down the site. Discussion about what kind of group may be behind this, based on morality or just anger. After Gawker caught hell for running a story outing an executive that was being blackmailed by his secret gay prostitute, two managing editors have stepped down.

"He (Obama) did accept donations from lobbyists and PACs and he spent money in this campaign from that, through his political action committee," Bill Clinton said. "He said one thing and did another."
Clinton is talking here about Obama's leadership PAC, Hopefund. Leadership PACs are political action committees established by members of Congress to support other candidates.
All the other presidential candidates shut down their leadership PACs when they announced their candidacy, but Obama's PAC continued to distribute more than $400,000 to political candidates and parties after Obama entered the ring on Feb. 10, 2007.
"And this money did come from lobbyists and special interest groups," Clinton said.
Clinton is right, but some scale is in order.
According to an analysis for PolitiFact by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, of the $4.5-million raised by Obama's Hopefund, $16,500 came from lobbyists, and $125,000 from political action committees such as Lockheed Martin Employees' PAC, AT&T; Corp. PAC and Walt Disney Productions Employees. The biggest donors were lawyers and law firms, accounting for nearly a half-million dollars.
So Obama's leadership PAC did raise money from lobbyists and PACs, though it amounted to just a fraction of the total fundraising. Also notable is that the money was collected before Obama announced his presidential candidacy, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
PolitiFact has already weighed in on Obama's campaign pledge not to take money from lobbyists or PACs, finding that while he has eschewed money from federally registered lobbyists, he has accepted thousands from people who work for lobbying firms. We have also noted that Hillary Clinton has raised more campaign donations from registered lobbyists than any other candidate.
Common sense suggests the distributions to candidates were meant to advance Obama's campaign, particularly when almost 43 percent of the money was spent on candidates in states with early primaries. (See our related ruling on this point here).
One question is whether Obama's Hopefund distributions violate Obama's pledge not to accept lobbyist or PAC money in his run for president. Because the contributions were made prior to the start of his campaign, we find they do not. Therefore it's a stretch for Clinton to say, "He said one thing and did another."
But we're checking Clinton's claim that "(Obama) did accept donations from lobbyists and PACs and he spent money in this campaign from that, through his political action committee." And Obama's leadership PAC did accept $16,000 from lobbyists, and another $125,000 from PACs, even though it was collected before Obama was an announced candidate. And nearly half of Hopefund's money was spent on key primary states during the campaign. So we rate Clinton's claim True.

"I do not believe that the record label owns the song, the publisher does not own the song, even the artist does not own the song," McBride told AFP in an interview.
"It is the emotion that a fan attaches to that song, to that lyric that makes it popular. What the record business needs to do is to monetise the behaviour of that fan."
McBride said record companies need an alternative to what he sees as an outmoded business model that relies on a few mega-selling artists and copyright protection.
In almost every global market record sales are plummetting as people turn to the Internet for music, increasingly downloading it for free.
A recent survey by MTV of consumers in 12 Asian countries found that 77 percent of people aged between 15 and 24 had illegally downloaded music in the past month, while 59 percent had also made legitimate purchases.
The rampant piracy -- particularly serious in China where the rate of illegal downloading was put at more than 80 percent, which some see as conservative -- has led to aggressive legal action.

Accomplished painter and university professor Beth Edwards is best known for portraits of vintage rubber dolls that provide wry insight into human nature and the American dream. For her current show, "Along the Way" at David Lusk, Edwards takes her toy dolls, ducks, and dogs out of their showcase homes and places them on the open range in Horse and Rider and into idyllic farmsteads in Happy Cow and Peaceable Kingdom. In the series of paintings titled "Meadow I-V," there are breathtakingly blue skies, striking red poppies, and healthy, happy honeybees.
Lest we think she has lost her ironic edge, Edwards slips the work At Peace into the show. In this remarkable painting, Edvard Munch's 1895 masterwork Death in a Sickroom hangs on the wall of one of Edwards' dream homes. Numbed by grief, the Munch family looks anything but peaceful. This is pre-penicillin Norway, the number of childhood deaths is staggering, and Munch's beloved sister Sophie is dying.
A baby duck with a strawberry doily on top of her head stands next to Munch's portrait of despair. Her orange beak is slightly parted, eyes shut in reverie, fat cheeks turned white-gold by sunshine streaming through the window, her tiny wings raised in what looks like a spasm of joy. An ecstatic rubber duck next to the death scene initially feels jarring — what an outrageous juxtaposition, what an aesthetic affront. And yet, the longer I looked at this portrait of pure joy in the face of the world's relentless sorrow — rather than wincing or guffawing — the more I wanted to weep and let go.
Through July 2nd
David Hinske is also after something rarified, almost ineffable in "Transcendental Vocabulary" at Art Under a Hot Tin Roof. In this exhibition of nonsensically titled luminous abstractions, Hinske asks us to let go of visual and verbal associations, to play in fields of free-flowing color shot through with light.
Barely visible, thumb-sized smudges in several of the paintings conjure up the first bits of matter coalescing and the first artist making his/her signature mark with a chunk of charcoal in a Paleolithic cave. The rest of Hinske's boundless and effervescent surfaces bring to mind cotton candy and Technicolor amoebas. Like Edwards' surprisingly powerful rubber duck portrait of bliss, Hinske's melted-popsicle pools of radiance are also a joy to behold.
Through June 26th
At first glance, the American flags, vintage photos, handmade prayer cabinets, and antique Bibles in "One Room Schoolhouse," J.C. Graham's Gallery Fifty Six exhibition, looks like a show full of feel-good patriotism and down-home religion. Take a good long look. Graham's flags are torn, his vintage photos are the frightened mirthless faces of children too soon grown up, too quickly indoctrinated. The small pools of blood-red acrylic that seep through the bull's-eye of a target and through a little boy's jacket at heart level suggest emotional wounds at the center of us all. This is soul-rending, icon-shattering Americana.
In the satisfyingly ironic, mixed-media work Confession, two boys with mischievous faces have written and rewritten "I will not confess" on a blackboard. On blackboards, school tablets, prayer cabinets, and soiled stripes of the American flag, Graham writes in urgent child-like scrawl: "Run, run run," "Mary, Mary, Mary," "Don't you see," "What's the point?" Like these youngsters, Graham is not afraid to ask questions, to challenge authority.
Through June 30th
Lisa Jennings' increasing mastery of collage is particularly powerful in "Presence," the L Ross exhibition that honors ancient wisdom and the web of life. In her haunting self-portrait Body of Clay, Hair of Flowers, the artist's face flows, nearly seamlessly, into her clothing, hair, and the vegetation surrounding her. This near-abstraction is not the facelessness of anonymity or the fractured psyche of cubism but a powerful reminder that psyche and substance are intimately connected.
A skilled sculptor as well as painter, Jennings carves found pieces of wood into figures like the roughhewn work titled Wisdom. The top of the head is gnawed away. Its skull is bleached white, its eyes are huge and hollow, and a branch is attached to the sternum of this fierce creature who still reaches out to embrace the world.
Jennings tints the the figure titled First Love with acrylics, balances a tree limb on top of her head, and places a stone tablet in her long supple arms. As beautiful as she is wise, First Love isn't a lawgiver but a young woman who wears her heart on her sleeve (as well as a limb on her head), who learns to balance body/mind/spirit, who bears witness to a world that is equal parts whimsy, pain, and grace.

In Drake Law School's 3+3 Program, you can earn your undergraduate degree and law degree in six years.
Qualified students can earn an undergraduate degree and a law degree in six years rather than the usual seven.
Through this program, students complete three years of full-time undergraduate study, use law school courses to meet the balance of required undergraduate credits, and receive their bachelor's degree after the first year of law school.
The first step in pursuing a 3+3 program is to contact both your academic advisor and the designated contact at your undergraduate institution (high school students should first contact the undergraduate admission offices of these institutions):
Drake University
Contact: Your individual academic advisor
Students are eligible for the program with majors from the following colleges/schools:
Learn more about the Drake University 3+3 Program.
Other institutions who have a 3+3 agreement with Drake Law School:
Clarke University
Contact: Norm Freund, professor
Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences
Contact: Dr. Howard Tyler, assistant dean for student services
Iowa State University College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Contact: Bruce Allen
Amy Slagell
Luther College
Contact: John Moeller, professor
Northwestern College (Iowa)
Contact: Dr. Dan Young
Simpson College
Contact: Mark Juffernbruch, professor
Learn more about the Simpson College 3+3 Pathway.
St. Cloud State University
Contact: Kathleen Uradnik, professor of political science
University of Dubuque
Contact: Dr. Ben Bartels, assistant professor of criminal justice
University of Northern Iowa
Contact: Scott Peters, associate professor of political science
University of Northern Iowa 3+3 Program Website
William Penn University
Contact: Dr. Noel C. Stahle
If you are at another undergraduate institution you can still use the 3+3 option. All that is required is for your undergraduate school to agree to use the credits you earn in your first year of law school to complete your undergraduate degree requirements.
Students should discuss the 3+3 Program with their academic advisor at their undergraduate institution and with the Drake Law Assistant Dean of Admission Kara Blanchard (email@example.com, 515-271-2782).
Advisors will assist students to ensure their undergraduate degree requirements are met either during the first three years of full-time undergraduate study or during their first year of law school.
Participants will take the LSAT and then apply to Drake Law School during the fall of their third year. Participation in the 3+3 Program does not guarantee admission into the Law School.
Every student enrolled at Drake Law School through the 3+3 Program is guaranteed a scholarship of $5,000 per year. The award is automatically renewable for all three years of law school and may be combined with other scholarships up to full tuition.
No. One major does not give you an advantage over another. In fact, students are encouraged to study whatever they are interested in during their undergraduate program.
Any courses that are reading and writing intensive will be helpful to a future law student.
You may proceed with completing your undergraduate degree if you decide not to participate in the 3+3 Program or if you are not admitted into Drake Law School.
For more information, contact the Office of Admission and Financial Aid at 515-271-2782 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Capture Pictures from Free Video Editing Software Programs
Capturing every moment with your camera is impossible. But, capturing many, many moments with your digital camcorder is not. If you want to share just a single moment, however, that can be tough with a lot of video clips. Luckily, there is software on the market that allows you to capture individual frames from your video to create wonderful still images.
There are a number of free software downloads that allow you to edit video files in order to capture pictures from them. Video Compiler and IC Capture for Windows are just two of these programs.
The standard procedures for capturing pictures from video files can these types of programs are as follows:
- Open up your video.
- Open up your editing program.
- Click the Capture Snapshot or Capture Still button on the program.
- Save the picture.

Capturing Still Images from Video Clips with Video Edit Magic
While free programs are great, you probably will be able to capture better quality images from a bought program like Sony Vegas Pro and Video Edit Magic. If you're just planning on creating amateur movies or capturing still, Sony Vegas Pro may be a little pricey, ranging from $80 to $600 bucks depending on which of the features that you want.
But, Video Edit Magic is pretty affordable at $69.95 and will allow you to not only edit your digital video, but create stills as well. Another great thing about creating a still from your video is that you can use a moment from your digital movie for thumbnail or opening or closing title page for your movie.
To create a picture from your video files using Video Edit Magic, follow the below procedures.
- Capture several minutes of video so that you have a wide range of footage to use.
- Import your video to your computer's hard drive.
- Open Video Edit Magic.
- Go to Tools -> Capture -> Options.
- Once the Options menu is open, go to the Save Options -> General tab.
- Pick the location your computer where you would like your captured video files to be saved.
- Check Output button to ensure that it's set on AVI.
- Select OK.
Now it's time to start capturing photographs from your video files.
- Go to the Start Capture button.
- Click on it until you have all the footage that you want to work with.
- Click Stop Capture.
- Open Video Edit Magic.
- Go to File ->Open File in order to open the captured video.
- Go to the Collections window, and drag your video to one of the video tracks on your timeline.
- Place the Seek Slider on the clip that you want to convert to photographs.
- Go to Tools ->Take Snap.
Now, your image has been taken. In the Output Format section, you can change the size and quality of your image. Once you're done playing around with your image, you simply just have to press OK. And, now you have a bona fide image created by editing your video files.

Howard County's innovative health access plan for the uninsured who have limited income will likely survive another year, though funding limits could hamper operations.
At least three of the five County Council members said they will support the $500,000 requested to get the program through another fiscal year, though program officials said an inability to get more money from private foundations will force a 750-patient limit. The program had 621 people enrolled at the end of April. Final County Council budget votes are scheduled May 19.
According to figures presented to the council, the program has screened 6,089 people and found that 3,789 were eligible for existing insurance plans. Another 789 enrolled in Healthy Howard, but 178 dropped out for a variety of reasons, including changes in income and the cost of the program. Participants pay from $50 to $85 a month for comprehensive medical services, though it is not insurance.

European CCPs overhaul futures margin models
Margin requirements for many European futures and options contracts are being pushed higher by new rules designed to avoid procyclicality – the danger that soaring collateral calls will increase the pain during periods of market stress. Central counterparties (CCPs) including Ice Clear Europe, LCH.Clearnet and Nasdaq OMX Clearing have changed their margin models to comply with the rules, which are part of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (Emir).
The effect has been felt most keenly
