CA Technologies announced a new release of its CA Privileged Access Management (PAM) solution that addresses scalability and performance needs for departmental and geographical expansion.
CA PAM 3.0 gives companies the ability to scale their PAM deployments across multiple departments, and provides Managed Service Providers (MSPs) a helpful way to manage multiple instances of the product for their customer base across platforms and infrastructures.
The scalability of a Privileged Access Management solution is critical to ensure organizations can address and control cyber risk coming from trusted users in any environment.
As deployments increase to manage and monitor access expand across geographies, departments and hybrid environments, the architectural considerations can cause challenges in aligning infrastructure allocation with operating systems and databases.
CA PAM supports these requirements with enhanced features that enable greater control across the diversity of user access points, and has features that make it simple for Security Administrators to extend their enforcement, control and monitoring of users.
Gartner recommends that security and risk management leaders responsible for delivering IAM capabilities "Deploy session recording as soon as possible, because this capability will add accountability and visibility for privileged activity. Include this capability as part of your selection process."
"Security should never be a hindrance to growth and business evolution, but an enabler through an intelligent, risk-based approach," says Mordecai Rosen, senior vice president and general manager of CA Security Business. "The need for privileged access management only grows with more and more digital identities created every day. The key to maturing a PAM solution is to ensure that it can adjust, adapt and scale with your business throughout your journey of digital transformation."

Baby Friendly Maui
For years we've seen the pictures of Maui's clear blue water, soft sandy beaches, pristine forests and lush green mountains. It's a travel destination that has always called to us, yet we had never made the trip. Last month however, we finally had the opportunity to experience the celebrated Hawaiian Island.
We traveled with our 7 month old infant son, so we didn't know what to expect before our arrival. As newbie parents, many thoughts and fears came to mind. Would it be difficult traveling to Maui with an infant? What kind of sacrifices would we have to make? Will Baby B be comfortable? Will we be able to have a good time in Hawaii with an infant?
We quickly learned that Maui is one of the most family friendly destinations we have been too. So we thought we would share some of the reasons we loved Maui as a destination for young families.
There are lots of family friendly activities
Maui was clearly developed with families in mind. We didn't have to sacrifice the things that we love to do on vacation because we were traveling with an infant.
The hotel that we stayed at, the Sheraton Maui, offered several activities right at the resort, so there was no need to venture far away. We had the choice of fresh flower lei making, hula lessons and Baby B could even learn to play the ukulele (if he was a little older).
The Sheraton Maui is the only hotel on the island that hosts a cliff dive ceremony, a sunset ritual that honors the last chief of Maui. Every evening, a young cliff diver re-traces the chief's footsteps in the sand and leaps from sacred Puu Kekaa into the Pacific Ocean. We enjoyed watching the ceremony each night and even got the token tourist picture with the young cliff diver.
Of course, a visit to Maui isn't complete without attending a traditional Hawaiian Luau. The Sheraton Maui hosted a Luau on its property, so we didn't even need to leave the hotel grounds to experience the time-honoured celebration. There were families with kids of all ages in attendance, which certainly added to the family friendly atmosphere. It's also a great opportunity to try local cuisine like Poi and Kalua Pork.
If you wish to venture away from the resort, we found there are plenty of family friendly activities like boat excursions, snorkeling adventures, whale watching, ziplining, hiking and a visit to the Maui Ocean Center (a highlight from our trip).
You can enjoy all the comforts of home
Maui, the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands, offers all of the comforts of home – which we really liked. It's fully developed and it offers stores that sell items we are familiar with (especially important when traveling with an infant).
We could easily replace forgotten items and find the products we needed, like baby food and diapers. Traveling with a week's worth of baby food would have been a big hassle. We were happy to find our preferred brand of baby food at the grocery store and that the packaging label was in English and displayed the ingredients.
During our visit, we were still introducing new foods to our son, so we wanted to know all the ingredients in the food before feeding it to him. Nothing disrupts a vacation like an allergic reaction to food! (But it was nice to know that if anyone did get sick there was adequate hospital care)
We also didn't need to worry about difficult currency conversions since Maui is a US State. Being Canadian, we use US currency all the time and it's easily accessible, making it simple to compute the exchange rates.
There are accommodation options for large families
Maui offers hundreds of condos and villas that include full kitchens and multiple bedrooms, which is a great alternative if you have kids. Dining out with a large family can break the travel budget quickly, so eating at your hotel/apartment will save you money and allow you to control your family's diet. It also makes it easier to prepare baby purees or boil water for bottles.
We stayed in two different locations on the island – Wailea and Kaanapali. Do your research before booking because we found that cities and beaches around the island are quite different.
Wailea was more relaxed and upscale. Kaanapali was more touristy with a fun party vibe. We enjoyed both locations and really liked that we got to experience two different parts of the island. If you can't decide on a location, pick two and split up your stay like we did – it felt like we had two vacations in one!
We felt completely comfortable during our stay, which meant that we could sit back and relax without worry. Baby B could sense the calm in us, which translated into him being relaxed as well. We can see why Maui appeals to a variety of travel styles, like honeymooners, retirees and young families.
Great weather all the time
As we searched online for average temperatures in Maui, we could see that no matter the time of year we planned to visit we were likely to catch some great weather.
When planning a family vacation to tropical environments, it's important to consider the weather because monsoons and tropical storms can put a serious dent in your travel plans. It's great to have the peace of mind that sunshine and blue skies are highly probable in Hawaii.

"If I was an Iranian national security planner I would want a nuclear weapon. Look at the neighborhood I live in: everyone else who matters has nuclear weapons and those who don't, don't matter and get invaded by the United States." - Bruce Riedel, a former CIA officer and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, as quoted in Richard Silverstein's article on January 19, 2012 called, 'Bruce Riedel: Netanyahu's Goal is 'Regime Change'…in Washington.'The fear that Iran is in the process of developing a nuclear weapon is grounded in the false belief that a nuclear weapon would strengthen Iran's hand in the Middle East.
Trita Parsi, an Iranian expert at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies and the president of the National Iranian American Council, says that Iran's strategic strength and regional position would drastically diminish if it acquired a nuclear weapon. Parsi made this point in an interview with Ali Ahmadi Motlagh in January 2011:
AM: One argument put forth in support of stopping Iran's nuclear program is that Iran's acquisition of nuclear capabilities would trigger an arms race across the Middle East. What are your thoughts on this?The prestige of a nuclear weapon is not all that it is cracked up to be. As Parsi observes, it is not in Iran's interests to build a nuclear weapon and thereby trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East because that would minimize its strategic and military superiority vis-a-vis its weaker neighbours such as Kuwait. Every nation would be on equal footing if nuclear weapons suddenly became common commodities.
TP: Certainly it is difficult to envision the region becoming safer with the introduction of more nuclear weapons. It should also be noted that building a nuclear weapon may turn out to be a significant strategic mistake for Iran if it leads to the nuclearization of the Middle East as a whole, since that would eliminate Iran's conventional military superiority in the region.
True, an Iranian nuclear weapon is a kryptonite to foreign aggression, but it is also an act of strategic suicide.
Building nuclear weapons would also be an anti-Islamic act. The Islamic Republic of Iran would lose its political and religious legitimacy if it overturned Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's fatwa against the development and deployment of nuclear weapons. In August 2005, Iran issued a statement at an IAEA Emergency Meeting which said:
"The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued the fatwa that the production, stockpiling, and use of nuclear weapons are forbidden under Islam and that the Islamic Republic of Iran shall never acquire these weapons."Iran does not need nuclear weapons to defend itself if it comes under a full-scale attack by the United States and Israel. As Parsi said in an interview with Foreign Policy Association in November 2011:
"Whatever the capabilities are that the Iranians have, they have utilized only a fraction of them, compared to what they can if there is a real confrontation between the U.S. and Iran."Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett, both of whom served on the National Security Council in the Bush administration, emphasize Iran's soft power strategy. In their article on October 13, 2010 called, Iran's "Soft Power" Increasingly Checks U.S. Power, they wrote:
"If Iran today has substantial soft power in the Middle East—as we believe it does—it has that power in no small part because it has picked winners rather than losers as its allies in key regional theaters. Whether we speak of Hizballah in Lebanon, HAMAS in Palestine, or Shi'a Islamist parties in Iraq, Iran's regional allies are genuine political forces—that is, forces that win elections because they represent important and unavoidable constituencies with legitimate grievances. And, in many cases, those allies engage in what their constituents believe is thoroughly laudable resistance against what those constituents see as America's (and Israel's) hegemonic ambitions in the Middle East."Hillary Mann Leverett explained the success of Iran's soft power strategy and how it is countering Washington's current political objectives in the Middle East on a Swedish radio program on Saturday, January 21, 2012. She said:
"In terms of projection of what we call, often in international relations, hard power - conventional military force - the United States has today and will have for the vastly foreseeable future the absolute ability to project overwhelming conventional military force, hard power, into the Middle East basically whenever and wherever it wants. . . We've invaded Iraq, we've had military operations in Libya, we can do that.To get a more informed perspective about U.S.-Iranian relations and the general picture in the Middle East, visit Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann Leverett's website, www.raceforiran.com, and the National Iranian American Council website, www.niacouncil.org.
But there are limits to how effective that is. And we've seen through our indeterminate military campaigns in Iraq, in Afghanistan, even in Libya, where we see this inter-militia conflict playing out now, is that yes we can kill Saddam Hussein, yes we can kill Gaddafi, but what do you do after that? The U.S. has nothing to offer. And so the United States is really demonstrating the limits of its power to something that is just a military hard power projection.
Iran, on the other hand, has had a policy, and many people, particularly here in Washington, ignore Iran's real strategy. They focus on what I call played-up, hyped threats about Iran, which prevents them from seeing Iran's really effective strategy, which is really a soft power strategy. Iran's effectiveness and success has nothing do with it's ability to project conventional military force anywhere in the Middle East. Iran doesn't have so much of an offensive, conventional military capability, it does not invade its neighbours, it does not use conventional military force against its neighbours. It doesn't do that. We win on that battlefield hands down, the Iranians don't even try to challenge us.
What they do is they have a soft power strategy, where they built up relations with political groups and forces in their neighbouring countries, and they try to galvanize the grievance that people have throughout the Middle East and they align themselves with these groups and with this galvanized grievance in the form of public opinion. And what that does is it positions Iran with these relationships they have with various groups, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's shi'ite groups in Iraq, whether it's the various groups that form the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan, whether its with shiites in Bahrain. Across the Middle East and Central Asia, Iran has these alliances and it has public opinion often on its side.
What this does is it constrains these states. Let's take Bahrain for example. If Bahrain wanted to allow the U.S. Fifth Fleet to attack Iran, the leadership in Bahrain would have to think long and hard about that because they would have to face renewed resentment, protests, problems from their largely shiite population that Iran is aligned with. So that constrains the government of Bahrain or the government of even Saudi Arabia from attacking Iran.
The other thing it does is it positions Iran to have relations with these groups, with these people, whether they're shiite, whether they're kurds, whether it's the Sunni group Hamas, and others, that when there is a change of government or when there can be a change of government, it's Iran's allies that win the day. So when there is a change of government in Iraq, the United States invades Iraq, we get rid of the sunni political order, it's Iran's allies that are ready, poised, and thrust into leadership. When we invade Afghanistan and wet get rid of the irredentist sunni Taliban political order in Afghanistan, it's Iran's allies in the Northern Alliance that take over and are in charge in Afghanistan. . .If there is a change in leadership in Bahrain, if the government of Bahrain were overthrown, it would be Iran's allies that take over.
This is an extremely powerful offensive strategy that Iran has, but it's about soft power. It has nothing to do with hard power. So the focus here, particularly in Washington, about various concerns about Iran's military capabilities are entirely misplaced and means that we are missing the soft power offensive that Iran poses to us, the challenge they pose to us, the challenge they pose to our allies like Saudi Arabia which is now surrounded by countries that are much more friendly to Iran today than they were ten years ago.
So, if you look at the United States ten years ago, our allies like Saudi Arabia ten years ago, we are in vastly weaker positions in the balance of power in the Middle East than Iran is. Ten years ago, Iran had basically Syria, and the very weak groups of Hamas and Hezbollah. Remember ten years ago Hamas had not been legitimated in the elections among the Palestinians that they were in 2006. Remember ten years ago Hezbollah had not been legitimated through the elections that they've had in Lebanon. They were relatively weak players.
Today, Iran's allies are the indispensable decisive players in country after country after country across the Middle East that used to be pro-American territory, that used to be pro-Saudi territory. Today, both the United States and our allies, particularly Saudi Arabia, are on the defensive, and you see that playing out in some very dangerous ways across the region."

Thank You, Mr Ratan Tata!
Ratan in Hindi means gem. Aptly named Mr Tata. You are truly a gem! Indeed I rue that you havent passed on your gem of a gene to some worthy heir.
Why? Several reasons…
The reason that prompted me to write is the MSN headline: Rs 15 cr bribe? Ratan Tata says "No way". An unnamed minister asked him for a bribe to let him operate a joint venture airline in India.
Seriously??!! The minister asked THE IRON MAN for a bribe?!! Imagine being told by a so-called industrialist "You are idiot people. You should have paid the bribe".
Thank you Mr Tata from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for standing up to shitheads. Thank you for not bowing under pressure and doing what every nincompoop in India does. Pay the bribe!!!
For those who do not know; Mr Tata belongs to the illustrious family of the Tatas. JRD Tata is the Father of Indian Aviation. He started the first Airlines in India and held the Pilot License no 1. The Airlines was taken over by the Govt and is now an ailing Air India. 😦 JRD went on to lead his industrial group to stupendous success in every imaginable field, reaching Rs 1 Billion before he died in 1993.
The name Tata was stamped on almost every thing you could buy, soap, cars, chemicals, now IT & Telecom. In fact Tata Young, a Thai model, and actress was so named, because her father was reportedly astonished by the omnipresent name TATA.
The Tatas are also known for their philanthropy. Their hospitals, trust funds, student loan funds are well-known in India.
Mr Ratan Tata however stands out in this long line of illustrious family of entrepreneurs. He is solely responsible for putting a car in the hands of an average middle-class family. His $2000 or Rs 1Lac car has sheltered lakhs of family from the elements, transferring them from a scooter to a small car. At last the poor could travel in comfort. He did this, whilst the entire motor industry was laughing at his idea and waiting for him to fall on his face. He succeeded.
I therefore call you, Mr Tata, the IRON MAN. For your guts, your vision, your strength and your spirit!
To this man, then, an unpadh gavar (uneducated) minister asks for a bribe just to start an airline operation. Heaven knows from where that idiot got the guts to open his fat mouth. He should have been counting himself lucky to even be in the presence of a legend. And he actually sullies it..Like Wow!
If just 10 more industrialists become 10% the man Mr Tata is, India will be a supernation that it wants to achieve. Just 10%. Got guts, Mr Minister??????

Computer Servicing
Home and business computers are much like a car and need a regular servicing to help ensure smooth and secure use in today's always online environment.
Regular servicing computers and equipment should include the following to ensure efficient and secure use ;
- security patches
- software updates
- driver updates
- hard disk check
- internal hardware check
- computer security audit
- home network security audit
Keeping on top of security patches and software updates is one thing, however the hardware and internals of the computer need to be checked as well.
Something as simple as a dust build up can affect performance and the life of components.
Set and forget does not exist in the computing world.
Remember if illegal activity occurs on your internet connection it is up to you to prove it wasn't you.
Home users and businesses should arrange regular servicing to ensure that security software is functioning correctly.
Modern malware and viruses do not easily reveal themselves and infected computers could be giving users the impression of being secure, meanwhile personal information has being compromised.
Lets not forget network hardware and the importance of checking the settings and security of modems and routers. This helps ensure optimal security and privacy.
Wireless routers, modems and other network hardware require updates, and eventually there comes a time when replacement may be required to ensure your network, computers and personal information is safe and secure.

My vacation was fun, but not exactly what I had expected. My team (the Boston Bruins) have gone from first to worst. Stanly Cup to bottom of the Eastern Conference. But all good Bostonians know that this is just right and proper. Boston fans have to be in it for the long haul, you have to be in a city that went 89 years without a world series win and 39 without a Stanly Cup. I got to see one win and one loss on my vacation the games were fun.
I only mention that because I write about hockey.
The best book I ever read about writing is a book called "hockey tough" It was written by a sports psychologist who seems to mostly work with NHL and NFL players. I had never thought that sport and writing had a lot in common until I read the book. I think of writing as a solitary pursuit and team sports as – well – team sports. Even though I write about players I'd never really thought of how much time they must spend alone. I knew, intellectually, that most NHL players pretty much spend their afternoons alone, sleeping or playing video games or yoga or what have you. One of my favorite players often does a skating practice in the afternoon, alone.
I guess we all do our important work alone, even when we work in a team.
Hockey Tough talks a lot about persevering and getting yourself through touch spots. It also talks about trusting your support people. And what to do when everything is not going our way.
I'm stuck in the doldrums of the center of my book. The part where it's not exciting anymore. I don't really want to work on it anymore. I will, of course, and I will finish this book. I have time, it's not due to the editor until the beginning of March. Mind you I want to have a first draft done by January 1st to give me time to re-write.
Being in the doldrums makes me think of Hockey Tough. I may do some of the exercises from the book and get back on track.
The best book I've ever read about writing has nothing to do with writing at all. How about you? What is the best book you've ever read about writing, and was it supposed to be about writing?

In recent years, loan application and subsequent approval has become a walk in the park. With the burgeoning number of lenders offering bad credit loans in the UK, getting approved for a loan has never been simpler. Gone are the days when the requirements were stringent and having a good credit score a prerequisite to getting approved. Nowadays, it is simple to get approved for a loan even if you have a history of CCJs. All you need to do is choose one of the many different types of bad credit loans and you are good to go.
While there exists many different types of loans in the UK market, the most outstanding one has to be the doorstep loans for benefits. There is no doubt that the UK is home to thousands of individuals who are on benefit. These are individuals who receive a monthly stipend to meet their needs because they are jobless, old or simply incapacitated and therefore unable to work and earn an income. People on benefits are those that are supported by the government to meet their day to day basic needs because they can't fend for themselves for one reason or the other.
That said, we all know that difficult times and hard economic times affect all of us irrespective of whether we are in employment or relying on the government for cash support. Even individuals on benefits contend with financial emergencies and require loans. But what are their chances of an approval when they are not in employment? This is where doorstep loans for benefits come into play. This is a loan product specifically tailor-made for individuals who are on benefit with the aim of assisting them get the much needed cash within the shortest time.
So what are the features of doorstep loans for people on benefits?
- Short term
This type of loan is for short term purposes and intended to help a person on benefits meet an urgent need until they get their benefits at the end of the month. The repayment period is usually between 15 and 30 days.
- Doorstep delivery of the loan cash
The distinctive feature of doorstep loans for people on benefit is the fact that the loan amount is delivered to the doorstep of the applicant. This is quite convenient for the aged or individuals who are incapacitated in one way or the other. An urgent of the lender comes to your home, explains to you the terms of the loans, ascertains whether you are qualified and a decision is made instantly.
- No security
Doorstep loans for people on benefits do not require collateral prior to approval. No security is required and this means that it is very simple or easy for the disabled or the aged to avail this kind of loan.
- No credit checks
You need not worry about credit checks when applying for doorstep loans for people on credit. The state of your credit rating is of no consequence to your chances of approval. Even those with bad credit can be assured of approval.

Carl Romeo, originally from Chile moved to San Francisco, CA in 1978. In 1979 he joined the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in Hollywood, CA, now the Musicians Institute. GIT, founded in 1977 revolutionized contemporary music education with the first full-time program to offer hands-on professional training for the electric guitarist. Romeo was hired in 1982 by a Latin promoter that managed famous Latin singers among them Armando Manzanero and Paloma San Basilio.

Joann Averill, Connecticut Licensed Clinical Social Worker
A crisis or particular life stressor is often what initially brings people to therapy. Others come to therapy to work on old issues that continue to re-surface, causing problems for the individuals themselves or in their relationships with family or at work. Many people find therapy to be a place where they can, on an ongoing basis, work on increasing personal insight and self-awareness in order to live more fulfilling lives and work toward achieving their highest potential. Whatever brings you here, therapy can be a place to help you restore balance in your life and to live life to the fullest.
In therapy, we work together to bring about lasting change. Much of the success of therapy depends on a comfortable fit between the individual and the therapist. I have an interactive, authentic, and strengths-based approach in my work with individuals, couples, and families. I also believe it is important to have a sense of humor. We work together to develop new ways of thinking about situations and we look for ways to change patterns of behaving. We schedule regular meetings, usually weekly and lasting one hour. We talk about issues of importance to you, while I provide feedback, thoughts, and ideas.
I have been in private practice as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since July 2003. My past work experience includes working in a psychiatric hospital, a residential treatment for children and adolescents, a halfway house for adults with substance abuse issues, and for the Department of Children and Families.

Technically, the 30 min chart shows that indicators have turned modestly higher after remaining in the bearish territory.
ETH/USD Consolidation Underway
ETH managed to hold the ground over the weekend the USD, as the price stayed above the $11.50 support. However, the risk towards the downside is not over yet. The ETH/USD pair is struggling to move higher, which should be a concern to the buyers.
When we look at the 30 min chart of ETH/USD, the pair is currently trading in a range. On the downside, a crucial support lies at $11.40-50, and on the upside, $11.80-12.00 is a crucial resistance. The pair may continue to trade in the stated range for some time before we can witness the next move.
No doubt, the pair is under a minor bearish pressure. The ETH bulls need to overcome the $11.80-12.00 resistance to put the price back in the bullish zone.
Now, when we have a look at the 2-hours chart, then there is a positive sign. There is likely a bullish flag pattern in the form of a descending channel. And, an important support as per the channel is forming at $11.00.
The highlighted pattern may play a critical role for the next move in ETH/USD. If it is a bullish flag, then once it is complete, the pair may surge higher. Otherwise, we may witness more declines. In my view, the pair may range trade for a couple of more sessions before making an attempt to move higher.

text: Last weekend I gave Part 2 of my "Figure Alla Prima" workshop. It was a very enjoyable experience, moreover the participants came all from Part 1 of the same workshop and there was an air of familiarity. Under suggestion of the participants already in Part 1, I began each morning with a demonstration where I would explain in detail every colour mix and every brush stroke. In the afternoons the participants applied the knowledge acquired in the mornings under my supervision and help where needed. It was a big satisfaction for me to see that even painters with a wide experience in traditional methods of application of colour could become so familiar and find so useful my particular approach to colour mixing for maximum purity and vibrancy.

The United States is aiding local troops in a fight against Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in Yemen, the Times of London reports.
The British newspaper calls it "the secret war", with the conflict involving the use of US drones and the Saudi Air Force.
Iona Craig, the papers Yemen correspondent, and Nico Hines, a US correspondent, were able to speak to a number of sources who described the covert conflict.
"Some of the so-called drone missions are actually Saudi Air Force missions," a US intelligence source told the paper.
"There is no kill or capture anymore. It's kill or kill," one source said.
US think tank New America Foundation believes US drone strikes in Yemen almost tripled between 2011 and 2012, AFP reports. Last year saw more strikes in the country than in Pakistan.

21Wisconsin 80 - 55 Penn State
Flowers' career high leads Wisconsin past undermanned Penn St.Jan 16, 2008 - 6:19 AM STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Ticker) -- Without its leading scorer and rebounder, Penn State fell behind early and could not slow down Michael Flowers and Wisconsin.
Flowers had a career-high 23 points to go with six rebounds and five assists as No. 17 Wisconsin trounced undermanned Penn State, 80-55, in a Big Ten Conference matchup on Tuesday.
Marcus Landry added 16 points and Joe Krabbenhoft chipped in 12 for the Badgers (14-2, 4-0 Big Ten), who shot 60 percent (31-of-52) from the field, cruising to their seventh straight win against the Nittany Lions and eighth win in a row overall.
Wisconsin jumped out to an 18-2 lead in the first 8:09 of the contest as Penn State was dealt a big blow to its offense.
Senior Geary Claxton, who is averaging 18.7 points and 8.9 rebounds, left the game after approximately seven minutes with what is being diagnosed as a torn ACL in his left knee.
Claxton came down awkwardly after attempting a fallaway jumper and did not return to the contest. An MRI is scheduled for Wednesday to confirm the extent of the injury.
"The full extent of the injury cannot be fully determined yet," Penn State director of athletic medicine Dr. Wayne Sebastianelli said. "He clearly has an injury to the ACL and what we need to see is if there are any secondary injuries like damage to the meniscus or cartilage.
"From all the physical testing, it looks like he has a tear to the ACL. Most of the time (with an injury like this), you are looking at six months to get back to training hard, and then anywhere from 3-6 months of game preparation."
The Badgers took its biggest lead of the first half with an 11-0 spurt - capped by Jason Bohannon's 3-pointer - to take a 33-13 advantage with 6:20 left in the half.
After leading by 16 points at the break, Wisconsin's lead was trimmed to 11 less than two minutes into the second half. The Badgers then built their cushion back up to 17 before Penn State came back and cut it to 58-46 on a 3-pointer by Mike Walker with 11:49 remaining.
However, Wisconsin exploded and ended any hopes Penn State had of a comeback, scoring 19 straight points over a seven-minute stretch to take its largest lead at 77-46 with under four minutes left to play. Flowers and Greg Stiemsma each had six points during the run.
Flowers shot 9-of-12 from the field, including 5-of-6 from the arc, en route to his first 20-point game of the season.
The Badgers also outrebounded the Nittany Lions, 41-22, and outscored them 34-18 in the paint.
Jamelle Cornley had 13 points to lead Penn State (10-6, 2-2), which has lost two straight after a seven-game winning streak.
Without Claxton, Penn State shot just 37 percent (22-of-60) from the field, including 6-of-24 from the arc.
"We've got to figure out what our next move is and regroup as a team," Penn State coach Ed DeChellis said. "We need to get back to work and figure out what we are going to do."

Bulimia Counseling
Is Bulimia Counseling Right For Me?
Your weight is just a number; but for many of us, that number can become a valuation of your self-worth. When you're losing or maintaining weight you feel like you've accomplished something—maybe not as much as you'd like—but you feel a little less terrible.
Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder that is characterized by over-eating (bingeing) and extreme efforts to maintain weight through vomiting or laxative abuse (purging). However, unlike anorexia nervosa, bulimia does not usually result in extreme weight loss.
Bulimia doesn't always begin in a discrete moment. Instead, the condition tends to evolve slowly over time as our attitudes about our bodies shift, distort, and entangle with how we define ourselves. Sometimes bulimia develops because we place a high premium on seeming "perfect". Other times our negative self-evaluations of our bodies can whisper to us that certain body types are more deserving of love than others. We might have issues controlling our impulses, or a need to control our lives so badly that it overrides our reason. And in instances yet beyond, we may absorb subtle messages from our families, culture, coaches, peers, and mentors that intertwine beauty inextricably with thinness.
Regardless of its origins, however, bulimia is dangerous. Repetitive vomiting and laxative abuse can overtax the heart and gastrointestinal systems, resulting in a series of potentially fatal consequences.
But don't abandon hope: you can beat the cycle of bingeing, purging, and self-loathing!
What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Bulimia?
Individuals who are suffering from bulimia may exhibit the following warning signs:
- Episodes of binge-eating (consuming an entire day's worth of calories in a single sitting) followed by frantic attempts to purge (via vomiting, laxative, enema, or diuretic abuse), fasting, diet pills, emetics (drugs that induce vomiting), or obsessive exercise
- A distorted body image concerning weight and excessive feelings of guilt following a binge
- Hoarding food, concealing your binge-eating episodes from family or friends, engorging yourself on food to the point of physical pain or sickness
- Leaving during meals to purge in secret (Individual may drink excessive water prior to exiting from the table to make the process of inducing vomiting easier, or leave water running during purging to muffle the sound)
- Discrete, public vomiting
- Physical indicators of self-induced vomiting, including: tooth decay, swollen gums or cheeks, ulcerated areas in the mouth that do not heal, evidence of ruptured blood vessels on the face, lesions or calluses on the fingers, dehydration, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, or irregular heart rhythm
- Psychological indicators of co-occurring anxiety, depression, social isolation, personality or mood disturbances, impulsivity, or substance abuse
What Are The Long-Term Health Consequences Of Bulimia Nervosa?
Unlike Anorexia Nervosa, individuals with bulimia typically fall into a normal or above normal weight range. This doesn't mean, however, that because the health risks associated with being underweight are absent in bulimia that the condition is not serious: Bulimia can be very dangerous!
Serious complications of bulimia may include:
- Cardiac problems: irregular heart rhythm, heart damage, cardiac arrest
- Electrolyte imbalances, including hypokalemia (loss of potassium from purging methods that leads to heart failure)
- Kidney failure (from dehydration/electrolyte imbalances that occur simultaneously with vomiting, laxative, or diuretic use)
- Gastrointestinal problems: deadly ripping of the stomach lining from binge-eating, constipation, or GERD—gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Esophageal rupture from over-induction of vomiting
- Osteoporosis (occurs when a calcium or Vitamin D deficiency associated with bulimia causes accelerated bone loss and deaccelerated bone repair in middle age, as well as an increased risk of bone fracture)
- Edema, or swelling in the abdomen
- Dental problems: bleeding gums, tooth decay, TMJ, oral sores, etc. & increased risk of esophageal cancer
How Can Bulimia Counseling & Therapy Help My Condition?
If you think that you might have bulimia nervosa, don't delay in seeking treatment! Without qualified intervention, your bulimia could spiral out of control, disrupting your happiness and damaging your health. A strategic treatment plan for bulimia should concentrate chiefly on recovering your health—before shifting focus toward re-claiming your life.
- At the outset of your treatment, your medical needs should be of primary concern. Prolonged cases of bulimia can result in sudden cardiac arrest, permanent infertility, esophageal hemorrhaging (from induced vomiting), tearing of the stomach lining (from binging), or death: So, early medical intervention to assess your health status is essential!
- Next, you therapist will encourage you to evaluate your thoughts about your weight and emotions associated with food. Your therapist may recommend individual or group therapy sessions; meeting with a nutritionist to assess your dietary needs; or family or couples counseling to assist your family members and romantic partners in supporting you effectively during your recovery process
- A successful therapy plan should also equip you with coping mechanisms to combat your impulses to binge-eat or purge; and should help you achieve an awareness of the underlying factors that may perpetuate your condition (for example: being teased about your weight as a child or absorbing parental attitudes about food from a caregiver who also had an eating disorder)
- In addition, the Lifeologie Institute offers psychotherapeutic yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and equine therapy for those who wish to explore alternative treatments for bulimia as a creative supplement to traditional therapy techniques.

The Dallas Volunteer Attorney Program (DVAP), a joint program of the Dallas Bar Association and Legal Aid of NorthWest Texas, has awarded Haynes and Boone, LLP a Silver Award for Pro Bono Service, recognizing the firm for providing free legal services to the surrounding Dallas community.
"While helping indigent clients navigate the legal system is a reward in itself, the DVAP recognition of our collective efforts is certainly appreciated," said Debbie McComas, co-chair of the firm's Pro Bono/Public Service Committee. "Haynes and Boone has a long history of serving the community and we are grateful to the many Haynes and Boone members – lawyers and staff alike – who consistently dedicate their time, talent, and energy to deliver legal services to so many who could not otherwise afford access to our legal system."
The DVAP Silver Award recognizes firms with 150 or more Dallas office attorneys for their pro bono services.
The annual awards program honors judges, attorneys, court reporters and legal staff who provide free legal services to indigent residents of Dallas County. DVAP has consistently been recognized as one of the country's most successful programs of its kind. In a 12-month period, DVAP volunteers gave more than 43,000 hours of free legal aid to the less fortunate of Dallas.
At Haynes and Boone, the firm wide Pro Bono / Public Service Committee was formed more than 20 years ago to coordinate pro bono legal work and other public service opportunities and match them to lawyers and staff. The committee includes associates and partners, and the encouragement of pro bono service is reflected in the fact that more than 70 percent of associates and about 40 percent of partners regularly undertake pro bono work.
The firm was recognized at the 29th Pro Bono Awards Reception at the Belo Mansion in Dallas.

'He had pellets in his head, in his cheek, his neck, his jaw, his back… they were doing this on purpose'
A Prince George, B.C., cat is being described as a "miracle" after surviving multiple shots from a pellet gun at close range.
Now his owner wonders who could be so cruel to a pet and she's worried it could be someone in her neighbourhood.
"Biggie" — named after the rapper The Notorious B.I.G who was fatally shot in 1997 — went missing from his home in the College Heights area of Prince George on Nov. 3.
His owner, Nicole Crandell, worried he had been caught by a fox, but two and a half weeks later she got a call from a local veterinarian telling her Biggie was alive and full of pellets from a gun.
"Excuse me, what? Pellets? What do you mean?" Crandell remembered saying. "And then they said, 'Yeah, he's been shot multiple times.' "
The vet told Crandell that Biggie was found more than 15 kilometres away from her home and taken to the SPCA before being transferred to have the pellets removed.
"He had pellets in his head, in his cheek, his neck, his jaw, his back," Crandell said.
"The vet said the way the pellets were in his head, it's like a pellet gun was held up to his head and his body … they were doing this on purpose."
Crandell said she is "completely disgusted" somebody would do that to a cat and is worried it could have been someone in her neighbourhood.
The SPCA is currently investigating this case.
As for Biggie, he appears to be making a full recovery and is "super-stoked" to be back home.
"He's a little miracle cat," Crandell said.

Lost Light by Dan Miller From his eyes, and through the lens, let Dan Miller take you to the places of "Lost Light" in Cuba, Mesa Verde National Park, ghost towns and the urban Northwest. Come experience the emotional connection Dan has developed with every image in his collection. Meet the artist at the First Friday reception, September 4th from 5-10pm. 203 N Washington, Downtown Spokane.
I've always been fascinated by derelict buildings and ghost towns. Shooting the Bodie ghost town in California, historic cemeteries and ramshackle buildings in urban centers throughout the Northwest.
In May 2011 I had the honor of being selected for the artist in residence program at Mesa Verde National Park. In February of 2015 I travelled to Havana and Trinidad Cuba to photograph the rich culture, architecture and people before Cuba becomes officially open. I have been taking pictures since I was nine. I've been a commercial photographer and co-taught field, studio and darkroom workshops.

And so to the lightship Petrel. I didn't think I'd find this, as directions were pretty vague but it rather fell into our laps. Go into Balloo on the A22. At the Saintfield crossroads take the road signposted Whiterock. Go through Killinchy and when yo get to Whiterock, there is a sudden bend to the left. Keep following this road, ignoring a road that leads right across a causeway, and after about 3/4 mile, the lightship is on your right.
Built around 1915, decommissioned in 1968, it has been the headquarters of the Down Cruising Club since 1969. Delighted to find a lightship that has been put to some use.

Great new posts... you have been busy... Cheers, NealReplyDelete
Hi Neal, good to hear from you. Yes, we did a County Down blitz on Saturday. Permission from my wife so long as I got her back to Newry to do some shopping before the shops closed.ReplyDelete
So, as always, a bit hectic. Will publish the comments tonight, if I get the chance.
How about yourself, anything new?

French Horn Rebellion is an electronic music duo made up of brothers David and Robert Perlick-Molinari from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Robert was playing French horn in the Chicago Civic Orchestra, but he and his brother decided to take things in a new direction in 2007. They started making beats and moved to Brooklyn to become a part of the New York City music scene. Since then, they've worked with acts like Fat Tony, Ghost Beach, Savoir Adore, and St Lucia.
For their latest, French Horn Rebellion links with HAERTS for "Swing Into It," a fun, bright track full of movement and the kind of energy that will make you want to put on a neon headband and do aerobics. "Swing Into It" will be out on Spotify March 11, but you can listen below now. French Horn Rebellion's Swing Into It EP comes out March 25.
Swing Into It EP tracklist:
1. Swing Into It feat. HAERTS
2. You're All Right feat St. Lucia
3. Swing Into It (Chordashian Remix)
4. Swing Into It (Ghosts of Venice Remix)

During my week of work experience at a TV Station, I met and gained a world full of insight from many talents journalists. However, the journalists weren't the only ones giving me tips of the trade – whilst driving to a location or waiting in between stories many of the camera men also gave me some of their advice. After all a camera man is the one that can make the broadcasting journalists look stunning or awful, just by a matter of different angles.
1 – Do: Remember their name
Out of all the advice I received from a range of camera men – this tip was the one that popped up the most. Yes, as a journalist you may be assigned with 3 different camera men (or women) a day – however this is no excuse to mix them all into one person. Remember their name and remember what they tell you, whether it be about their wife, kids or what they ate for lunch. With this simple respect, there is no doubt that it will create a higher level of respect towards you as a journalist.
2 – Do not: call the camera men 'your camera man'
Leading on from the previous tip of remembering their name. Do not introduce the camera man as 'Your camera man' to somebody you are working with, interviewing or any other situation that would require an introduction. They are not yours to own and just because you are the one in front of the TV, does not mean that you should be more worthy of a proper introduction than them.
3 – Do: Help with equipment
Help, Help, Help! The equipment that needs to be carried along with the camera can sometimes be extensive and if you walk away without even suggesting to help, you will end up with one not very happy camera man. Offer to carry some of the smaller equipment or take the bag full of mics and other necessities and you will find yourself with a much happier camera man. If you are setting up for a live cross or grab, try to help the camera man out – even if it is just setting up the mic. You will find the process will be a lot quicker and you suddenly look stunning on camera, as they had more time to adjust the angle.
4 – Do not: Take out your stress on them
Whether it be another network getting the interview you wanting, or a story turning for the worst – it is not the camera mans fault. If you do decide to take your anger out on them – you will probably end up even more stressed and will have a very annoyed camera man on your hands.
5 – Do: Listen to their ideas
Yes – they may not have studied for 4 years for a journalism degree like you did. However, they have most likely dealt with a more diverse range of journalists them your self. They have experienced all the ways journalists write, edit, handle a story and deal with pressure. They have a very good idea of what they are doing and are definitely worth listening to.

A student of C.S. Lewis, visited Wheaton College and the works of Lewis housed there. He picked up a volume from Lewis's library, "Eternal Life", by Frederick von Hugel. In pencil on the inside cover Lewis had written:
It is not an abstraction called Humanity that is to be saved. It is you yourself —yourself, not another.
It is your soul and, in some sense not fully understood, even your body, that was made for the high and holy place. And that you are—your sins excepted—every fold and crease and nook and cranny of your individuality, destined from all eternity to fit God as a glove fits a hand. And that intimate particularity which you can hardly grasp yourself, much less communicate to your fellow creatures, is no mystery to Him. He made those ins and outs that He might fill them.
He gave you just so curious a life because it is the key designed to unlock the door of all the myriad doors in Him.

Open doors make happy floors, or so they say. Having an open door can be a lot easier said than done if you didn't put "doorstop" on your packing list. (We can't think of why you would.) If you don't have a doorstop, you can use a metal fork to make one in less than 10 seconds. Take a metal fork you have lying around or find one. Simply bend it in half (it's a lot easier than it sounds) and you're done! Open up your door, put the handle under the door and put the prongs into the carpet. Bam! Instant doorstop. Now you have an open door.
The benefits of an open door are numerous: People come in and say hi, you can hear when crazy things are going down in the hall and you even get better ventilation in your room if something (or someone) isn't giving off the best of odors. It's a quick trick that works well and hopefully makes your dorm life a little easier.

However, the indifference on the part of UN in this regard has raised doubts about it role in the protection of civil liberties in cyberspace. Although UN has declared that "access to internet" is a human right yet in practice this has not been adopted by member of the UN.
Meanwhile, countries keep on pushing e-surveillance oriented projects and executive orders. The position reached a stage where if UN did not interfere, the situation could have got out o hands.
UN has now opined (PDF) that the increasing state surveillance could be a serious threat to right to privacy. UN believes that state surveillance of communications is ubiquitous, and such surveillance severely undermines citizens' ability to enjoy a private life, freely express themselves and enjoy their other fundamental human rights.
Countries around the world, including India, are denying legal safeguards and using new technologies and surveillance techniques to invade citizens civil liberties. For instance, India is using e-surveillance projects like Aadhaar, central monitoring system, national intelligence grid, etc to defeat civil liberties of Indians. Till now we have no dedicated privacy law in India.
In U.S. Google has been challenging the FBI's national security letters (NSLs) that although declared to be unconstitutional are still required to be followed. U.S. government is also the biggest buyer of malware. Global cyber espionage networks and botnets are also used by rouge nations. The command and control of FinFisher malware were found in 36 countries, including India.
UN has taken a good step in the right direction but it has to implement civil liberties protection in cyberspace vis-à-vis its member nations as well.

Scott Waites was very disappointed with his performance as he lost his BDO World Championship semi-final 6-2 to top seed and holder Glen Durrant yesterday.
Waites, who has won the title twice before, was unable to repeat the heroics of his last eight match the previous day when he came back from 4-1 down to beat Belgium's Andy Baetens.
The Pennine Housing 2000 carpenter, who lives at Fixby, said: "I didn't take my chances and that was the difference."
The opening three sets all went against the darts and from 2-1 up, Durrant pulled away to lead 5-1.
Waites upped his game to win the seventh set but it was a shortlived revival as Durrant closed out the contest and earned a Sunday final clash with second seed Mark McGeeney, who beat Michael Unterbuchner 6-4.

For instance, the presence of video game companies at the Expo is hit-and-miss. The local Hand Eye Society of Toronto gamers seemed to be listed in the program erroneously last year, and the XBox booth consisted of just a few demos staffed by suspiciously-leggy young ladies who knew less about the games than I did (and I'd never heard of them before). The Nintendo 3DS exhibit was run like a midway ride. So good luck getting any real industry news.
However, this year, some developers seem to be taking a bit more interest in proper promotion. Here's something that THQ sent out leading up to the show:
"It's that time again where we geeks come together as one at Fan Expo Canada! THQ will have plenty for fans to do at the show – hands-on time with Darksiders II and WWE'13, hands-off demos for Metro: Last Light and South Park: The Stick of Truth! We'll also have an exclusive opportunity with Bryan Williams, Senior Designer of WWE'13 for interviews and guided gameplay. He will be on hand only on Thursday and Friday, so please let us know what time you'd like to drop by if you want."
Then again, the design team of Autodesk SketchBook will be exhibiting at Fan Expo 2012, ahead of SketchBook's latest version release later this month. While it's definitely closer to the comics end (even physically -- their booth will be next to "artist alley"), at least it's into the digital tech realm, and allows the punters to get a more direct line to the producers than usual.

I am thinking that it's time to officially change the nature of my blog. It has been a while since I've done any consistent bike blogging and I'm realizing that I actually kind of like it. I'm not sure if it's the fact that I'm training for a half marathon, my recent readings of 127 Hours Between a Rock and a Hard Place, A Walk in the Woods, and Into Thin Air, or maybe my beautiful and fulfilling experience in Colorado last month but something really makes me want to expand the focus of this blog.
I was inspired to write when I had Ragbrai in my near future. And I think I expected to tell stories about training, commuting, and other bike rides, but I also expected to be more political. To encourage biking, to criticize ignorance about it, and probably to be a kind of obnoxious and judgemental blogger. But I'm glad that is not what I've become. I am someone who loves biking and I want to continue telling stories about it but I do so much more in my life that I feel challenged and fulfilled by and I want to share that too. So what does that mean? It means that I'm going to blog about adventure, about challenge, about strength, about anything that makes me move and sweat and smile. And I'm going to try to be productive and helpful, maybe to encourage biking and other outdoor activities without being obnoxious or critical. I want to educate people as I discover where to seek adventure and challenge in and around DC, and elsewhere on this sweet planet of ours.

Keep customers focused and engaged with one question at a time. Just like a real conversation.
Engaged customers boost response rates, so you'll get more and better insights from them.
Drag and drop to quickly build your form or questionnaire—or use one of our curated templates
Growing your business? You won't be growing anywhere without your customers. Ask for feedback on a regular basis, and—if done well—you'll create a constant stream of new opportunities. Never assume what people want—you'll only solve a problem that exists in your mind. Or you might aim a solution at the wrong people. That's what happened to Morgan Ranieri. Morgan used customer feedback to discover that his online grocery customers (young moms with a couple of kids) didn't match his assumed customer demographic (young professionals). Customers are the foundation of any business—and with their feedback you'll avoid using jello as cement.
Customers don't want your product—they want help making their lives better. Your questions should encourage customers to share how they want to make progress. Solutions come and go, so find out what you're competing with: "Can you tell me about the other solutions you've tried?" and "What did / didn't you like about that solution?" The responses could give you a eureka moment. Ask questions that measure emotions over numbered scales (think Facebook's range of post responses). Don't go overboard or they'll be really bored. And a thank-you goes a long way. Typeform has a great Thank You screen feature— show your gratitude.
Think about all the customer feedback you've given. Screens stuffed with text—where's the exit button? Smiley push buttons—is that all my opinion's worth? Typeforms are different. They invite interaction through a one-question-at-a-time approach and smooth interface designed for frictionless responses. Customize the experience by creating an environment that's tailored to your audience's interests, expectations, browsing habits, and favorite device. Incentivize by throwing in some relevant quiz questions—and the promise of a big reveal at the end. Add intrigue with behind-the-scenes photos of your business, latest product, or new feature. Put enough love into creating your typeform and you'll get love back.
You gave your customers a megaphone—the worst thing you could do now is wear ear plugs. First, get the data just the way you like it. Typeforms integrate with more than 500 apps. Add new email leads to a MailChimp list, or connect your results to Google Sheets for a bit of graph madness. Transform your data into actionable decisions about your business. Demonstrate how your product helps people make progress in their lives. Launch new features that meet their needs and kill off those that aren't useful. And don't forget to show them what you've done—it's the difference between an active listener and someone who likes the sound of their own voice. Ever change your mind? So do your customers. Follow up with them on a regular basis. Nail this down and watch your customer loyalty and retention climb.
"Every time I encounter Typeform in the wild I'm blown away by just how much better the UX is compared with everything else on the market"
