[Avionics Today 02-03-2016] Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster and Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank LoBiondo on Feb. 3 introduced the Aviation Innovation, Reform, and Reauthorization (AIRR) Act, legislation that proposes establishing an independent, not-for-profit corporation, outside of the federal government, to serve as the future provider U.S. Air Traffic Control (ATC) services.
The AIRR Act is a six-year reauthorization of the FAA, and maintains the FAA's role as the aviation safety regulator for the United States. Under the terms of the bill, the federally chartered ATC corporation would be governed by a board representing the aviation system's users and the public interest. The comprehensive reauthorization bill also streamlines the FAA's aviation equipment and aircraft certification processes, provides additional consumer protections, addresses aviation safety issues, gives the FAA more tools for the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and provides for airport infrastructure improvements across the country.
"The United States has led the world in aviation since pioneering this modern mode of transportation. We have the safest system in the world, and we will continue to do so under this bill," said Shuster, who has been pushing for airlines and legislators to consider ATC reform over the past year. "But our system is incredibly inefficient, and it will only get worse as passenger levels grow and as the FAA falls further behind in modernizing the system. Furthermore, the FAA's overly bureaucratic certification processes are handicapping American companies and causing us to fall behind our competition. The AIRR Act is transformational legislation that prepares the U.S. aviation system for the future, helps ensure a modern, safe system that benefits passengers and the economy, and keeps America competitive in a vital industry."

To celebrate Earth Day, here is Kermit the Frog singing his standard "It's Not Easy Being Green." Sing along with the updated 2009 lyrics below.
It's so expensive being green,
Having to pay for all the things big government needs,
When I think it could be nicer not being taxed,
for energy, or my car, or my home's heating, things like that.
It's so expensive being green,
It seems the taxes blend in with so many ordinary policies these days,
And people tend to pass them over, because they're not standing out like flashy payroll taxes or spending that's skyyy high.
But, green is the color of taxes,
and green can seem cool and friendly-like,
And green taxes will be big, like a mountain, or seem important like a river of debt,
or sacrifice jobs for a tree.
When green is all your allowed to be,
It can make you wonder why,
But why wonder, why wonder,
You're green, and business won't do fine, but you better get used to it.
It's who you have to be.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 21 June 2013 — New-vehicle retail sales are continuing their positive trend in June, with no signs of letting up at the start of the summer selling season, according to a monthly sales forecast developed jointly by the Power Information Network® (PIN) from J.D. Power and LMC Automotive.
Retail Light-Vehicle Sales
New-vehicle retail sales in June are projected to come in at 1,118,800 vehicles, which represent a seasonally adjusted annualized rate (SAAR) of 13.2 million units, a healthy increase of 500,000 from the May SAAR. Retail transactions are the most accurate measure of true underlying consumer demand for new vehicles.
U.S. Retail SAAR--June 2012 to June 2013
(in millions of units)
While sales overall are strong, not all segments are selling at the same pace. Sales of premium vehicles account for just 11.7 percent of new-vehicle retail sales thus far in June, down from 12.9 percent in June 2012.
The underperformance of premium light-vehicle sales is largely due to the age of the models in these segments. J.D. Power calculates that the average age—the number of months the vehicle has been in the market since it was introduced or redesigned—of premium models sold in the second quarter of 2013 was 43 months. In comparison, the average age of non-premium models—excluding pickup trucks—is only 34.5 months.
J.D. Power expects that by the second quarter of 2014, the average age of premium products will fall to just 33 months, as new and redesigned products enter the marketplace.
The strong selling pace continues to be matched by strong transaction prices. Thus far in June, the average transaction price of new vehicles is $28,900—the highest ever for the month of June.
"Although the premium segment growth has lagged non-premium, there is some good news for the industry in that the average price of premium vehicles in June is $47,000, up almost 4 percent from June 2012," said John Humphrey, senior vice president of the global automotive practice. "New premium vehicles entering the market late this year will also help bolster sales through the second quarter of 2014."
Total Light-Vehicle Sales
Total light-vehicle sales in June 2013 are expected to grow by 12 percent from June 2012 to 1,380,800 units. Fleet sales in June are just 19 percent of total sales. Fleet volume for the month is projected at 262,000 units.
J.D. Power and LMC Automotive U.S. Sales and SAAR Comparisons
1Figures cited for June 2013 are forecasted based on the first 13 selling days of the month.2The percentage change is adjusted based on the number of selling days in the month (26 days in June 2013 vs. 27 days in June 2012).
Sales Outlook
LMC Automotive continues to hold the outlook for total light-vehicle sales in 2013 at 15.4 million units, but has increased its forecast for retail light-vehicle sales to 12.6 million units from 12.5 million units, as retail sales growth expands.
"There is little question that the automotive market has strong momentum as we close out the first half of 2013," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of forecasting at LMC Automotive. "Looking forward, all the key fundamentals are in alignment to continue the current growth trend, with production capacity limitations being the only major visible risk."
North American Production
North American light-vehicle production through June is up nearly 5 percent, compared with the same period in 2012. Ford's 16 percent increase in production thus far in 2013 is leading all manufacturers, with a significant portion of its increase driven by sales boosts for the new Escape and Fusion, as well as its F-Series pickups.
Vehicle inventory levels in early June are holding at 3.2 million units--a 57-day supply, which is down from 64 days last month.
LMC Automotive's forecast for 2013 North American production remains at 16.0 million units, with capacity utilization now at a lean 90 percent.

SAN BRUNO, Calif. --There are 55 more people that have joined a lawsuit against PG&E seeking damages related to the San Bruno pipeline explosion. More than 90 families are now suing the utility.
They claim PG&E could have prevented the tragedy that killed eight people and destroyed more than three dozen homes.
The people suing include folks who were injured, and others whose homes were either destroyed or severely damaged.
So far, investigators believe shoddy welds in the pipe caused it to explode.

Tell a Story Day is celebrated on the 27th of April each year.
Storytelling is the conveying of events in words, images, and sounds, often by improvisation or embellishment. Stories or narratives have been shared in every culture as a means of entertainment, education, cultural preservation, and to instill moral values. Crucial elements of stories and storytelling include plot, characters, and narrative point of view.
Storytelling predates writing, with the earliest forms of storytelling primarily oral combined with gestures and expressions. In addition to being part of religious ritual, rock art may have served as a form of storytelling for many ancient cultures. The Australian Aboriginal people painted symbols from stories on cave walls as a means of helping the storyteller remember the story. The story was then told using a combination of oral narrative, music, rock art, and dance, which bring understanding and meaning of human existence through remembrance and enactment of stories. People have used the carved trunks of living trees and ephemeral media (such as sand and leaves) to record stories in pictures or with writing. Complex forms of tattooing may also represent stories, with information about genealogy, affiliation, and social status.
With the advent of writing and the use of stable, portable media, stories were recorded, transcribed, and shared over wide regions of the world. Stories have been carved, scratched, painted, printed or inked onto wood or bamboo, ivory and other bones, pottery, clay tablets, stone, palm-leaf books, skins (parchment), bark cloth, paper, silk, canvas, and other textiles, recorded on film, and stored electronically in digital form. Oral stories continue to be committed to memory and passed from generation to generation, despite the increasing popularity of written and televised media in much of the world.

Sure, Black Friday deals were good. But what about the next enticing round of sales?
You know, the ones that start the day after tomorrow, when a new round of price cutting starts as stores try to offload excess holiday inventory and make room for spring items.
But is it really worth heading to the mall, especially when you've probably already stretched your December budget to the breaking point?
We asked money-saving consumer expertAndrea Woroch for her advice on navigating those post-holiday sales. She told us what to buy, what to pass on–and, more importantly, how to outsmart stores to keep your spending in check.
1. Make a List
"It's just like holiday shopping," Woroch says. "Bring a list, so you can avoid impulse purchases." This is especially important now since you probably already spent a lot of money in December on gifts, charity and travel.

Newsmaker: Shirley Ho
Noteworthy: The International Organization of Chinese Physicists and Astronomers named Ho the co-winner of its 2014 Outstanding Young Researcher Award.

She shares the prize with Harvard University's Kang-Kuen Ni.
Age: 33
Family: Husband Pascal Ripoche; daughter Lena Ripoche.
Residence: Squirrel Hill
Occupation: Assistant professor of physics at Carnegie Mellon University
Background: Ho led an international research team that produced the most accurate measurement ever of the universe's expansion. Her research into dark energy includes the study of shadows cast by hydrogen clouds in the glare of supermassive black holes, and an examination of theories that could replace some of the cosmic framework of Albert Einstein's theories.
Education: Ho earned a Ph.D. in astrophysical sciences from Princeton University in 2008, and bachelor's degrees in physics and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004.
Quote: "Basically, either Einstein is wrong or dark energy exists."

University of Guelph professor suspended after allegedly insulting student with severe anxiety
The University of Guelph says it has suspended a professor who students allege insulted one of their classmates who suffers from severe anxiety.
Some of the students who witnessed the exchange said the incident happened during an anthropology class on Monday.
A statement from #UofG's Provost and Vice-President (Academic)— University of Guelph (@uofg) January 16, 2018
Charlotte Yates. pic.twitter.com/OmEEnRkPaE
Charlotte Yates, provost and vice-president at the Ontario school, said in a statement that she learned of the incident on Tuesday morning.
She declined to name the professor but said he had been put on leave.
But Regan Devlin, who was present during the incident, identified the professor as Edward Hedican.
Devlin said that over the course of the interaction, Hedican referred to the student's educational assistant as his "handler" who "needed to control" the student.
Hedican declined to comment on the specifics of the incident.
"My union has cautioned me not to make any statement to the press at this time," he told The Canadian Press.
"There's two sides to every story," Hedican added. "There was no physical contact here, there's no sexual interaction, there's a verbal altercation that happened in class. And I'll just leave it at that."
A video posted to Twitter appears to show a student standing up during the class and confronting the professor about what he said.
Many students walked out of the class after that, Devlin said.

Beginning with steady-beat development and progressing through improvisation to reading and writing standard notation, this comprehensive music literacy program culminates in student composition. To assist your mission, manipulatives, play-along tracks, reproducible worksheets, and assessment rubrics appear on the included CD.

Understanding American History
New Heights Charter School and four other schools in the K-8 Charter Consortium, including two that have not achieved Adequate Yearly Progress for 3 years, serve more than 1,500 students in Los Angeles. Understanding American History will guide history teachers in these schools through activities that increase their pedagogical content knowledge, including after-school seminars and museum visits. Teachers will also pilot lessons and units of study in teacher cohort classrooms and use the Tuning Protocol to reflect on the units and refine them in grade-level teams. Recruitment of participants will focus on teachers with multiple subject credentials who teach American history content; 30 teachers will participate (starting with 24 in Year 1, with three more added in Year 2 and another three in Year 3). Teachers will explore significant turning points in American history and the role of individuals as viewed through the lens of core principles set forth in the nation's founding documents that have shaped America's social, political, and legal institutions. Teachers will employ the instructional strategies outlined by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe in Understanding by Design as they design units of study that address "enduring understandings" in American history. Teachers will design 25 American history units of study that motivate students and support English language learning; share what they learn with members of the California Charter Schools Association; and make exemplary units and support materials available online to the larger teaching community.

Aussie Book Review: The Patterson Girls by Rachael Johns
"How can four sisters build the futures they so desperately want, when the past is reaching out to claim them?
When the Patterson daughters return home to Meadow Brook to be with their father after their mother's death, they bring with them a world of complication and trouble.
The eldest sister, obstetrician Madeleine, would rather be anywhere but her hometown, violinist Abigail has fled from her stellar career, while teacher Lucinda is struggling to have the children she and her husband so desperately want. The black sheep of the family, Charlie, feels her life as a barista and exercise instructor doesn't measure up to that of her gifted and successful sisters.
Dealing with their bereft father who is determined to sell the family motel, their loves old and new and a series of troublesome decisions doesn't make life any easier, but when they go through their mother's possessions and uncover the shocking secret of an old family curse, they begin to question everything they thought they knew.
A warm and wise novel about secrets revealed, finding your soulmate and the unique bond between sisters."
Well known international bestselling author Rachael Johns deviates slightly from her usual rural romance writing to bring us a story about sisterhood, sibling rivalry, love, relationships and those unbreakable bonds called family ties.
As with real life, these girls' lives are anything but idyllic – Madeleine, the oldest and an obstetrician who lives in America is in love with a man who is engaged to another; Lucinda, a teacher in Perth feels that her marriage has reached a crossroads since she has failed to conceive a baby that her and her husband so desperately want; Charlie, the free-spirited sister who lives in Melbourne, has always felt different and can't get past the fact that she's not as successful as her sisters; and Abigail, the youngest, is a violinist in London who has, unbeknownst to the rest of her family, lost her job.
Giving us the year that follows that first Christmas without their mother, Rachael takes us on a journey into all their lives – the good, the bad and some ugly truths. Shifting the perspective between all four sisters, we see them try to console their father, rival one another and reflect on the paths their lives have taken. Emotions run high and the twists and turns in their relationships keep them on their toes, not to mention the fact that their father has decided that he wants to sell the family motel.
It is whilst going through their mother's possessions that they find a notation mentioning a family curse that will be the catalyst for a lifelong secret to be revealed and will force the sisters to learn more about themselves, each other, their family as a whole, and love.
A popular rural romance author with myriads of fans, this latest takes Rachael Johns' storytelling ability to new heights and is certainly going to earn her more avid fans. Readers will become so caught up in the lives of the four women and their respective dilemmas that they won't be able to stop turning the pages to find out what happens next.
All four sisters are consistent characters throughout the story and hold their own in moving the plot forward. They are all interesting and Rachael has done a fine job of humanising them and allowing them to grow in their own way.
Of course, what would a Rachael Johns' novel be without some romance! While the sisters' personal journeys make up a large part of the story, they each have their own love troubles to offer as well.
Even though the tone of the book is light and breezy, with Rachael's signature humour embedded in the narrative, there are genuine real-life issues that they need to wade through such as bereavement, fertility issues, infidelity and unrequited love and, if there's one thing this book asks us to consider, it's that we should never take one another at face value because, most of the time, each of us is fighting an inner battle that nobody knows anything about – not even those closest to us.
I'm genuinely excited by the path that Rachael seems to have taken in her writing, calling it "contemporary life lit" and, while I love her rural romance novels, I cannot wait to see where she is going to take me next.
If you're looking for a great summer read, I think you've just found it!
I wish to thank JAM PR for providing me with a hard copy for review.

My father is an engineer and a man of few words, I grew up watching him approach projects quietly, methodically as he created and fixed things with his own hands. I was immediately drawn to photography the moment I picked up a camera in high school. I found that photography was the perfect medium that allowed me to best capture and communicate the thoughts and ideas that I had in my head. Coupling that with what I had seen and admired from my dad's profession- pursuing photography as a career was something that seemed clear to me. In 2009, I worked as the assistant photo editor for my college newspaper and also assisted a few friends who were wedding photographers. In 2012, I made the decision to become a full-time photographer, and haven't looked back since. Photography has allowed me to witness some really incredible moments in people's lives. I feel blessed to be able to do what I do and grateful to be able to document moments whether courageous, daring, or joyful for people I'd have never had the opportunity to meet otherwise. Living in New York City has allowed me to realize that there are just so many people with stories that have yet to be told. I'm now based in NYC and available worldwide, and primarily focus on photographing weddings, lifestyle portraits, as well as commercial photography.

[References to gendered slurs and misogynistic language ahead. Also, some discussion of domestic violence]
Why does this matter if it's just dudes playing the game?
1) There are sometimes, and increasingly more often, women on the field in officiating positions.
2) In this particular case (and plenty of others—we've all done the rewind, slow-mo playback on our DVRs), you can read their lips. It was Anton Ferdinand's girlfriend who told him what she saw when she watched playback of the altercation that made Ferdinand aware of the racial insult in the first place. So, the word doesn't stay just on the pitch.
3) It's not just men who play football. Stats: "Almost 1.4 million women and girls play football regularly in England. Women's football is the third largest team sport in the country after men's football and men's cricket, and 843 women have trained as referees." If girls are learning to insult in the same way they learn to play by watching men's professional soccer, that's a problem (I have no proof that women are throwing around this particular word on the pitch, but it wouldn't surprise me).
4) There is a (tenuous) connection between men in England watching football and domestic violence. Before the Euro Cup this summer, the BBC released a report showing "a surge in domestic violence reports to police during the 2010 World Cup" in order to spread awareness of this correlation. On a larger level, domestic violence generally is a problem in the UK: one out of every five calls to police is about DV.
NO: I am not arguing that because John Terry and Ferdinand called each other "c___s" in a game that it directly caused some man to beat his wife or girlfriend. But to argue that the culture that says it is okay to yell that word as an insult in its most popular sport (a place where there's a good chance that viewers at home will see it) is not related to the one where men take out their football joys and losses on the bodies of the women closest to them is mental gymnastics (and you'd be foolish to try).
Yes, this trial would (probably) still have happened had Terry yelled, "FB a-hole" or "FB (word for male genitalia)" but he didn't. He said " c___." They both said it. A LOT.
And even if that doesn't mean something directly to the players on the field (unless you say, perhaps, "you're sister is a c___"), it means something to the 1.4 million English girls and women who play the sport. It means something to the women who know that their partner's emotions around a football game may lead to them getting physically assaulted. And it means something to the woman who, just watching a football game with her friends, feels obligated to laugh along when one player lashes out at the other using an insult that makes her skin crawl.
Will this part of football (and indeed, of the culture surrounding it) ever change? I don't know. But it's a discussion worth having.

Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicines new service provides greater accessibility to aspiring naturopathic doctors
June 8, 2011TORONTO, June 9, 2011: The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine has joined forces with other accredited naturopathic colleges to offer the first centralized application service for naturopathic medical (ND) school applicants.
Furthering its mission to make naturopathic medical education accessible to an increasing number of qualified students, CCNM and the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (AANMC) will launch the Naturopathic Doctor Centralized Application Service (NDCAS) in September, 2011.
This is a very positive step for CCNM and the naturopathic profession, explains Patti Scott, CCNMs associate director of student services and chair of the NDCAS committee. It puts us on a level playing ground with most other healthcare professions that have been using centralized application services for years.
NDCAS will serve to streamline and simplify the application process for prospective students applying to multiple ND schools, thereby reducing both time and cost. The applicant will simply submit a single application through NDCAS and select his or her schools of choice. Those who apply through NDCAS submit only one set of transcripts, essays and reference letters. The application may be completed all at once or over multiple sittings, and the single application fee is payable via e-commerce transaction. Student applicants may then monitor the progress and status of their application online, and may acquire assistance through the helpline during business hours.
A centralized application service will allow CCNM and the AANMC to establish a database of applicant characteristics which we can then use to cater our recruitment efforts accordingly, Scott says. Well spend less time related to the collection, entry, and analysis of admissions documents and will be able to focus more of our energy on building lasting relationships with our prospective students and applicants.
Ultimately, the service provides direct access to all participating ND schools in one convenient, online location.
Were excited about the positive environmental impact of the NDCAS, adds Scott. We will now receive all admissions applications and supporting documents in soft copy, reducing the amount of paper required for each application.
But the focus of the NDCAS rests with the applicants. The service will cut down on the time and cost required to apply to naturopathic medical schools. Applicants will now be able to submit essays and other documents, pay their application fees, and check the status of their application at any time from their computer or mobile phone.
At this time the following naturopathic medical (ND) schools plan to offer this online service to their fall 2012 applicants:
Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine, Vancouver, British Columbia
Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, Toronto, Ontario
Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences, Phoenix, Arizona
University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine, Bridgeport, Connecticut
For information or questions about NDCAS please contact Patti Scott, NDCAS Chair, at email@example.com or call 416-498-1255 x 267.
The Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM) is Canada's premier institute for education and research in naturopathic medicine. CCNM offers a rigorous four-year, full-time doctor of naturopathic medicine program. The College educates, develops and trains naturopathic doctors through excellence in health education, clinical services and research that integrate mind, body and spirit.
The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges (www.AANMC.org) was established in February 2001, to propel and foster the naturopathic medical profession by actively supporting the academic efforts of accredited and recognized schools of naturopathic medicine.

As anyone in real estate will tell you, location matters. Apparently, location also matters when it comes to selecting a beer. Recently, a purchaser of Leffe Beers brought a class action lawsuit in Florida federal court against manufacturer Anheuser-Busch. The complaint alleges that the plaintiff and other purchasers of Leffe Beers were misled into believing that the beer is brewed by monks in an abbey — the Abbey of Leffe, to be specific. Although the plaintiff had no problem with the drink itself, he was shocked to learn that the Abbey depicted on his beer bottle had been sacked more than two centuries ago during the French Revolution and that not one monk had been involved in brewing his beer. Instead, the beer is mass-produced at the Stella Artois Brewery industrial complex. He even provides pictures in his complaint.
The Leffe Beer label contains the words "Abbey Ale," bears pictures of the Abbey, and provides information about the Abbey and its monks. All of this, the plaintiff claims, suggests to a consumer that the beer is made at the Abbey, crafted by monks and produced in smaller batches. And commands a higher price in the market, claims the plaintiff.
Among other things, the plaintiff wants his money back and a refund for all U.S. purchasers of Leffe Beers. He says he is entitled to all of this thanks to the Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act, as well as the state's common law remedies for breach of contract, unjust enrichment and negligence.
This is not Anheuser-Busch's first round of litigation over its beer labels. As the complaint notes, the manufacturer has faced false labeling claims centered around the location of Beck's Beer and Kirin Ichiban Beer breweries. Anheuser-Busch settled these cases and gave refunds to customers. It remains to be seen whether the same will happen here.

This document provides a sample configuration for the KAL-AP by tag keepalive on the Cisco ACE Global Site Selector (GSS) 4400, and the associated configuration for the Cisco Content Services Switch (CSS) 11000/11500.
The GSS is a networking product that globally load balances distributed data centers. The GSS acts as the cornerstone of multi-site disaster recovery plans in deployments of Cisco's content switches. Customers who deploy new Cisco content switches such as the CSS 11500 content services switch, the Content Switching Module (CSM) for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 series switches, or the Application Control Engine (ACE), or who have already deployed legacy switches such as the Cisco CSS 11000 and Cisco Local Directors, can benefit from the new levels of traffic management and centralized command and control provided by the GSS 4400.
The KAL-AP by tag feature embeds a unique alphanumeric tag in the KAL-AP request. The tag value is used to match the correct Virtual IP (VIP) address on the SLB. This avoids confusion that can be caused when probing for the status of a VIP on an SLB that is located behind a firewall using Network Address Translation (NAT), or that is applied to multiple content rules.
Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:
GSS is already configured to provide DNS answer. Refer to Cisco GSS 4400 Configuration Guides.
CSS is configured with at least one VIP. Refer to Cisco CSS Configuration Guides.
The information and screen shots in this document are based on these software and hardware versions:
GSS 4492R that runs version 2.0(x)
CSS 11501S that runs version 8.20
The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.
Refer to the Cisco Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document conventions.
In this section, you are presented with the information to configure the features described in this document.
Note: Use the Command Lookup Tool (registered customers only) in order to obtain more information on the commands used in this section.
This document uses this network setup:
Note that the CSS has two content rules with the same VIP. Therefore, the CSS does not know which rule is probed by the GSS if the Host-By-Tag feature is not configured. If you specify the same tag in both the GSS configuration and in the CSS content rule, the CSS can respond with the load of the proper content rule.
This document uses these configurations:
Complete these steps:
Configure a Shared KeepAlive:
Log into the GSS.
Click the DNS Rules tab.
Click Shared KeepAlives.
This screen appears.
Note that there are currently no Shared KeepAlives configured. In order to configure a new shared keepalive, click the icon that looks like piece of paper.
Select KAL-AP as your Shared KeepAlive type.
For the Shared KeepAlive configuration, the primary IP address is a physical circuit IP address on the CSS, reachable through the GSS. Be sure not to enter the VIP address here. Check the CAPP secure box in order to enable MD5 encryption. Enter a hash secret for the MD5 encryption. In this case, it is cisco. Click the Submit button when finished.
Your new Shared Keepalive now appears in the Shared Keepalives screen. Note the Type is KAL-AP.
Go to the Answers screen under the DNS Rules tab. A list of your current Answers appears. You need to create a VIP-type Answer for the VIP on the CSS, in this case the 10.86.178.15 VIP. In order to configure a new Answer, click the icon that looks like piece of paper.
When the Answer configuration window appears, configure these parameters:
Set the Type to VIP.
Give the Answer a name, and optionally specify a location.
For the VIP Address, specify the same VIP that is configured in the content rule of the CSS.
Set the VIP KeepAlive Type to KAL-AP.
Set the KAL-AP Type to KAL-AP By Tag.
Set the Shared KAL-AP KeepAlive to the Shared KeepAlive that you just created, which points to the circuit IP address of the CSS.
Set the Tag to any string, as long as it is specified exactly the same in the content rule of the CSS. In this example, the Tag is set to basicssl.
The new Answer now shows up in the list of Answers with the Basic_SSL name and a KeepAlive Method of KAL-AP by tag.
In order to view the status of the new Answer, click the Monitoring tab, and click Answers. Until the CSS is properly configured to accept the KAL-AP probes, the Answers show as Offline with a Load of 255.

Conflict is a part of life. We find it in our families, at work, and in our neighborhoods.
It's tempting to avoid or deny it, but when we embrace it, conflict provides us with an opportunity for understanding, clarity, a stronger relationship.
The judicial system provides us with one means to resolve disputes based on the limitations of the law. This option is often time intensive, expensive, and adversarial, and does not address non legal issues.
New Hampshire Conflict Resolution Association (NHCRA) promotes Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Services. These options are often less intimidating, less time consuming and less expensive than the purely legal route. ADR services can be used as an alternative to the legal system or alongside that system.
Resolution processes encourage disputants to choose their own means to address the issues at hand involving a professional third party.
Whether the issue is landlord/tenant, breach of contract, a family dispute or a probate issue, there is a method of conflict resolution and a professional to help.
What kind of dispute/conflict is challenging you? Learn more on our Types of Conflict page.

2016 Queensland Sport Hall of Fame Inductees
The Queensland Sport Hall of Fame welcomed new inductees in AFLs Simon Black, rugby leagues John McDonald, swimmings Stephanie Rice and triathlons Emma Snowsill, as was former Queensland and Australian rugby union centre Tim Horan who was elevated to Legend status as the 16th Legend of Queensland Sport.
2016 Hall of Fame Legend
Born in Sydney but raised in Toowoomba, he was a specialist No.12 with electrifying pace who could do it all. Rock-solid in defence and lethal with ball in hand, he could read the play like a book and was a fierce competitor.
He made his international debut as a teenager against New Zealand in 1989 even before he played for Queensland in 1990, and in his first Test impressed legendary All Black Joe Stanley so much that Stanley gave him his jumper.
In a career that spanned 12 years at the elite level Horan played 119 times for Queensland, and captained his State in 1996-97. He played 100 times for Australia, including 80 Test matches, and scored 40 Test tries.
He played in three World Cups in 1991-95-99 for wins in 91 and 99.
He was Inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 2006 and the World Rugby and Australian Rugby Hall of Fame in 2015 & is the 16th Legend in the Queensland Sport Hall of Fame.
2015 Hall of Fame Legend
Vicki Wilson OAM is one of the greatest netballers Australia has produced. She played a record 104 Test matches for Australia over 15 years and captained her country for four years. She played in a record four World Championships, winning the coveted title three times, and was captain of the world championship-winning team in her final game in 1999.
Along the way, too, she had further etched her name into the record books when she captained the Australian team that won the first Commonwealth Games netball gold medal in Kuala Lumpur in 1998.

Looks like my parents are coming to pick me up at about 10am on Friday morning. So I guess I only have one day left here, and I probably need to spend it all packing and doing chores…
Four months without my friends in Southampton, and without the DDRFUKkers too… It'll be lonely, I think ^_^; But never mind – the sun's still shining, life carries on… I shouldn't be unhappy about anything!

Empty as the sky

This is goodbye…"

It's been a full year since Bear Stearns imploded and the market decline began. I'm sure you haven't enjoyed the experience of watching your portfolio get thrashed over the past 12 months. I know I haven't.
If you could pay someone to make what's left of your portfolio more secure, would you?
Because you can.
The obvious strategy
You can protect your downside risk by buying put options on the stocks you own. A put option gives you the right to sell your stock at a certain price by a certain time.
For a small fee, then, you're guaranteeing yourself a temporary price floor for your stock -- which is comforting when the market keeps falling down, down, down.
But buying puts to protect your downside risk would have made much more sense when the market was riding high. With the S&P 500 nearly 50% off its May 2008 peak, buying puts will only pay off if the market gets much worse from here.
Instead, you can take the opposite position and sell puts to make the fear of your fellow investors work for you.
Meet the put writer
See, despite the fact that downside risk has already manifested itself in all of our portfolios, scared investors are still willing to pay for that protection by buying put options -- and they're more willing than they usually are.
According to Investor's Business Daily, on March 16, the ratio of price premiums in puts versus calls stood at 1.37, down from 2.58 at the peak of market panic in October, but still more than double the 52-week low of 0.62 in May.
And that bearish sentiment means that now is an ideal time to be a seller, or "writer," of put options.
The put seller stands on the other side of the put option transaction, pockets the small fee the buyer pays, and is obligated to purchase the buyer's shares at that predetermined "strike" price and time -- if the price falls below the strike price set by the option.
For example, let's say you think Apple
This means that for each put contract you wrote (each contract represents 100 shares of Apple stock), you would collect $930 and be on the hook to buy 100 shares of Apple stock at $90 ($9,000 worth) if the stock fell below the $90 strike price by the option's expiration on October 16.
If Apple shares did fall below $90 on October 16, your net purchase price, or break-even, would be $81 per share ($90 - $9). In other words, you got paid to buy a stock you wanted to own anyway. Sweet deal, right?
Put selling commandments
Of course, there are some risks with selling puts. The best worst-case scenario is that Apple shares take off between now and October and you miss your opportunity to buy it at today's prices -- but at least you still have the $930 premium cash in your pocket.
The worst worst-case scenario is that Apple falls well below your break-even price of $81 by October, but you're still on the hook to buy the shares at a higher price.
Reducing the odds of selling a bad put comes down to two things:
- Make sure you're getting paid enough for the risk you're taking.
- Only sell puts on stocks you consider undervalued.
When you sell puts, you're assuming the downside risk and should therefore seek to be properly compensated for that risk -- which means creating a significant margin of safety through the strike price (which should be sufficiently below the market price) and the premium you'll earn.
You must also be happy and willing to buy the shares if you're assigned (forced to buy) the shares at or before expiration. This means you need to do your research and determine a proper valuation for the stock you're selling the puts on. The last thing you want to do is be obligated to buy a stock at a price still well above its fair value.
Worthy candidates
In this market, many stocks are undervalued, giving you a nice pool of high-quality businesses to work from.
A quick screen of S&P 500 stocks trading with price to free-cash-flow ratios below 10 provides a starting point for further research:
Price to FCF
Adobe Systems
United Parcel Service
Data provided by Capital IQ, a division of Standard and Poor's, as of March 17.
While none of these should be considered formal stock or options recommendations, their already-low valuations and their ability to churn out gobs of free cash flow make them reasonable candidates for put writing.
Be prepared
Put selling isn't for everyone. In fact, most brokers require you to have prior experience with options and sufficient buying power in your account before they'll approve you to sell puts. After all, if you don't have enough money to buy the underlying stock at expiration, it can wreak havoc on the rest of your portfolio.
But if you do have some experience with options and the funds to spare, you can profit from all of the investor fear by selling puts on healthy businesses with attractively valued stocks. Done correctly, selling puts will generate income and get you stocks at better prices.
In our Motley Fool Pro investing service, we've been finding many opportunities to sell put options to better our bottom line -- by generating premium income and buying stocks at lower prices.

NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Reuters) - They have five grand slam titles between them, one each this year and one of them is the world No 1.
By Simon Cambers
NEW YORK, Aug 25 (Reuters) - They have five grand slam titles between them, one each this year and one of them is the world No 1.
Yet on the eve of the U.S. Open, both Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka find themselves in the shadows, almost forgotten as contenders for the final grand slam event of the year.
That's because Serena Williams will go into the event with her dominance restored after her victories at Wimbledon and at the Olympics.
The American is everyone's favourite and while world number one Azarenka was reluctant to admit to playing second fiddle, Sharapova was more open about the predicament facing the rest of the field.
"Of course she's the favourite because she won those two big events back to back," said Sharapova, who was beaten by Serena in the final of the Olympics.
"She gained a tremendous amount of confidence at Wimbledon, getting through a few tough three-set matches and then when she got to the Olympics, she just improved."
However, neither Sharapova nor Azarenka are willing to throw in the towel just yet.
"Everybody is still in the draw here," said Sharapova, who completed a career grand slam when she won the French Open in June. "It starts from the first round on, and that's why everybody is here."
Sharapova has not played since winning silver at the Olympics but said she felt strong going into the event she won in 2006.
"I feel really good," she said. "I was supposed to play in Montreal but I got a stomach bug and just decided to give it a rest.
"I think it was a sign my body just needed to slow down. It was a lot of travel, a lot of playing. So I decided to shut it down until here, because we still have a lot to play towards the end of the year."
Azarenka, who lost the world number one ranking to Sharapova in Paris but regained it at Wimbledon, said she was focused solely on herself.
"I think it's your guys' job to pick the favourite and to look at the draw," Azarenka said. "I never look at the draw.
"When I go into the tournament I'm trying to think just about my opponent on that particular day."
Azarenka won the bronze medal at the Olympics and said she had needed the rest to recover from the emotional and physical exertion.
"I was absolutely drained because I went through so much in a few days, something that I have never been through before," she said.
"It took so much energy out. I'm glad I had an opportunity to have a little bit of break and to make sure that, you know, I can prepare for the U.S. Open as best as I can. I am feeling good."

Many visitors to San Francisco have only a day or two to stay in the city and explore. If so, they are recommended to stay downtown around Union Square, the heart of the city. Even most long time residents of the city are not aware there is a French Quarter to find, just north of Union Square, with over a dozen French restaurants and shops to savour. Here are the details.
Bush Avenue is located three blocks north of Union Square. Check into the Executive Hotel Vintage Court at 650 Bush. It's a modest boutique hotel, newly renovated by a Vancouver owner, with the bonus of being right in the middle of the French Quarter. Walk out the front door of the hotel, turn right, and voila! The precious medieval-looking Jeanne d'Arc dining room can be found in the basement of the Hotel De France at 715 Bush, looking like Marie Antoinette's boudoir.
Turn east to find Notre Dame de Victoires church at 563 Bush. Across at 453 is Le Central, a genuine French bistro. On the next block, peek into Claude Lane and you'll find Gitane and Café Claude hidden away. Just past Kearney, if alleyways are your thing, you'll find Belden Place, with six restaurants vying for your attention, including French cafes Plouff and Café Bastille. Best at night with the lights twinkling, when you forget you are dining in a lane.
Reversing steps, head back a block to Grant Avenue. Turning the corner to your left, you'll discover Rouge et Blanc for a casual glass of red wine before fine dining at Café de la Presse, a true Parisian bistro. When you've dined to your satisfaction, it may be time for some shopping.
Downtown San Francisco is a warren of little laneways converted to dining and shopping. Walk south down Grant four blocks. Just off Union Square to the east you'll find Maiden Lane, dedicated to the highest of high-end brand names like Yves St. Laurent, Chanel and Louis Vuitton. It's a very quiet district these days; perhaps no one can afford the prices. Pop around the corner to Macy's for more affordable gear. There are no vehicles allowed in Maiden Lane. In fact, you would be most foolish to rent a car in San Francisco because street parking is almost non-existent. You also may not want to struggle with the city's famous hills and cable cars.
The best place to park your car, and yourself, would be at the Hilton Union Square, a vast edifice comprised of 1,600 well-appointed rooms and enough parking for the entire French army. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available at the hotel's Urban Tavern on the ground floor, where no doubt they have something French on the menu. Be sure to ask directions to the 46th floor, with fabulous 360-degree views of the entire city, the best location in San Francisco to watch the sun set over the Golden Gate Bridge. Probably best experienced with a glass of fine French champagne in hand.
If your budget allows the Union Square Hilton, simply start your excursion up to the French Quarter from the front door and reverse your steps. Maiden Lane shopping first, then back up to Bush. (Note: If you plan to ride a cable car, hop on at Union Square, the second stop on the line. There's no extensive waiting here with all the other tourists.) When you finally get to Notre Dame de Victoires church you can pop in and seek forgiveness for your sins, especially if you shopped at Louis Vuitton.
