This is excellent. I'd like to propose a couple minor additions to Phil's recommendation: 1. Web clients MUST verify revocation status of the EV certificate and associated CA certificates as a precondition for displaying a positive security signal. Web clients SHOULD use OCSP protocol to perform this check if it is available from the certificate issuer. 2. Web sites and certificate issuers SHOULD NOT use X.509 logographic extensions to visually brand EV certificates. Web clients SHOULD NOT display logos attached to EV certificates. Rationale: 1. It is critical to the credibility & trustworthiness of EV SSL that compromised certificates can be revoked, and that revocation prevents web clients from signaling positively. 2. See my earlier email about favicons. My reasons for mistrusting certificate logos are essentially the same: They are mistakenly viewed as identity cues or security context signals by most users, which makes them easily exploitable. Also they blur the distinction between chrome and content. Thanks, Mike P.S. In interest of full disclosure, Wells Fargo is a member of the CAB Forum and will likely be a commercial issuer of EV SSL certificates. _____ From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of Hallam-Baker, Phillip Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 9:52 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: ACTION 181: Summary of EV certificate discussion, prototype recommendation Extended Validation (EV) Certificates are X.509v3 certificates that are issued in accordance with minimum authentication criteria defined by the CA-Browser Forum, as demonstrated by a Web Trust audit of the issuer. When certain browsers (currently IE7 with the anti-phishing filter enabled or Firefox with a plug-in) visit a site secured with SSL and an EV certificate an enhanced user experience is presented. Currently in IE7 this user experience consists of the address bar turning green and the certificate subject and issuer being displayed alternately next to the address bar. Advertising and User education programs for EV certificates frequently use phrases such as 'Green for Go'. The current CAB-Forum criteria are specified at: http://www.cabforum.org/EV_Certificate_Guidelines.pdf The core principle of EV certificates is to assure the relying party that there is accountability. The EV issuing criteria require a certificate issuer to verify that the organization specified in the certificate subject exists as a legal entity, that the physical contact address is valid, that the party making the application is authorized to do so by the specified subject, that the applicant has control of the domain name specified in the certificate and that the applicant has possession of the private key corresponding to the specified public key. If the issuance process should fail the certificate issuer is to be held accountable, hence the display of the issuer name in the EV security experience. An EV certificate does not guarantee that a vendor selling a $3000 plasma TV will deliver a product that works or even that the TV will be delivered at all. But an EV certificate does guarantee that either the vendor can be held accountable for the default or the certificate issuer held accountable for the failure of their authentication program. In addition to requiring minimum authentication standards and a WebTrust audit, the CABForum guidelines require CAs to implement certain technical measures. Certificates must conform to a specific profile of the X.509v3 and PKIX standards. Wildcard certificates are not permitted, the maximum validity interval is one year, a means of efficient revocation must be supported and certain minimum key sizes must be employed. These measures are generally consistent with community consensus amongst network security specialists. Although the EV guidelines do not mandate support for publication of status information by OCSP, accountability of the certificate issuer creates a significant incentive to do so. While EV certificates are designed to be compatible with the existing deployed base of browsers the use of EV makes use of certain protocol extensions which are already highly desirable to be even more desirable. In particular support for the certificate host identification extension and OCSP token stapling. Although the EV security experience in IE7 is designed to resist certain types of attack it is impossible to provide absolute guarantees of security on a platform that is not considered trustworthy. For example the IE7 does not allow users to add EV signing certificates to the root store. IE7 only presents the EV security experience if a root certificate that is countersigned by a Certificate Trust List signed by an offline root. An attacker can only circumvent this requirement by compromising the IE7 executable. Prototype recommendation: Web clients SHOULD present a distinctive user experience in response to presentation of an EV certificate. Such a user experience SHOULD be guarded against emulation by browser content. The certificate subject and issuer SHOULD be displayed in the primary user experience. In order to facilitate accessibility such a user experience SHOULD NOT use color alone, although if color is used the color green SHOULD NOT be used EXCEPT to indicate a positive condition and the color red SHOULD NOT be used except to indicate a negative condition. In order to reduce the consuption of IPv4 addresses Web Clients SHOULD support the TLS host name identification extension on all SSL/TLS transactions regardless of whether an EV certificate is presented or not. For efficiency, Web Clients SHOULD support the OCSP token stapling extension of TLS on all SSL/TLS transactions regardless of whether an EV certificate is presented or not.Received on Wednesday, 25 April 2007 17:20:59 UTC

D.C. Fire and EMS crews were called to the State Department Saturday morning after a fire broke out while work crews were performing maintenance in the building.
Fire officials said that the crews put the fire out using handheld extinguishers before emergency personnel arrived, but four construction workers were taken to Washington Hospital Center.
Initially, a fire official on the scene told News4 that the workers had only suffered superficial burns. However, later Saturday afternoon, Lon Walls, a spokesman for D.C. Fire and EMS confirmed that one of the workers had suffered life-threatening injuries, while two other hospitalized workers had suffered serious, but not life-threatening injuries. A fourth worker was taken to the hospital after he injured his knee falling off a ladder. Other burned workers were treated at the scene.
U.S. & World
Officials say that the crews were performing maintenance on a duct on the 8th floor of the building when the flash fire broke out. The exact cause is under investigation, though officials say it does not appear to be suspicious in nature.
It is not known if any State Department personnel were in the building at the time of the fire.

Hi Forums! Im in need of some help with two problems im trying to attempt.
So the first problem im doing is the pascal's triangle using arraylist<integer> but when it prints out, it gives me the wrong output.
public ArrayList<Integer> getPascal (ArrayList<Integer> rows) { if (rows.size() < 0) return rows; ArrayList<Integer> lastRow = new ArrayList<Integer>(); lastRow.add(1); System.out.println(lastRow); for (int i = 1; i <= rows.size(); i++) { ArrayList<Integer> currentRow = new ArrayList<Integer>(); currentRow.add(lastRow.get(0)); for (int j = 1; j < i; j++) { currentRow.add(lastRow.get(j - 1) + lastRow.get(j)); } currentRow.add(lastRow.get(i)); lastRow = currentRow; System.out.println(currentRow); } return lastRow; }
From the error compiler there's something wrong with " if (rows.size() < 0) { return; }. Now i know thats obviously wrong but how could i resolve it into ArrayList<Integer> terms? Ive tried a couple methods but they didnt work as well. For my driver, i just declared a new variable to print the result and it gave me [1] [1] going down a column. If anyone does have time on their hands, how would using one object of arraylist look like?
Thank you very much!

I present a Nadeball map of a kind not seen before. This map has goals of various heights and sizes with point values between 1 and 20. The point values are intended to make the map suitable for general use.
While the map is a Nadeball map in FFA and TDM, it supports TS, FTL, CAH, CTF, and BOMB as well. In those gametypes, the Nadeball goals are closed and the map functions like a normal map.
The gimmick in this map is that the ice covering the central lake can be broken with several grenade blasts. This opens the underwater passages, which will drown players due to their length before the ice is open, while making it harder to slide quickly across the map.
The map has bot support (although a large number of bots can cause crashes), but the bots do not know to shoot at Nadeball goals. I recommend using Goose bots, as they are the only ones that use an HK69.
As with all Nadeball maps, g_gear should be set to 62 or FGHIJLMNZacefghQ (nades and knives only). Icecastle is best with 16 to 32 players.
Icecastle is dedicated to the memory of [LCDLC]NADE (1972-2010), founder of LCDLC clan.

Lasers. They're great aren't they? They're even better when they can detect explosives though, let me tell you.
British physicists at the University of St. Andrews are working on a project which could end up with these affordable lasers being placed in airports and public places with high-risk security, where people generally like to take their explosives on little walks.
It works by firing lasers at a film of polyfluorene plastic, and if there are explosives within range, the vapour they emit will cause the lasers to dim, making it visible for the people controlling the search. There are obvious risks associated with assisting an explosives search, which is why the physicists are hoping they can be dispatched and managed robotically. [TG Daily]

After wins, Dodgers have time to regroup
Puig, Ryu nurse injuries, while erratic bullpen is point of emphasis
LOS ANGELES -- The Dodgers returned Sunday from their successful Australian getaway in first place and now get a week to reset, time needed for Hyun-Jin Ryu's toenail and whatever ails Yasiel Puig to heal.
The Dodgers are not sure if Ryu will be able to make his next start, which would most likely be a week from Wednesday in San Diego. Ryu split a toenail when slamming on the brakes after a late stop sign from third-base coach Lorenzo Bundy in the second inning of Sunday's game.
The injury was apparently worse than it sounds and bothered Ryu on the mound. He nevertheless battled through five scoreless innings and left with a five-run lead that grew to seven runs before the bullpen nearly allowed a comeback by the D-backs before finishing with a 7-5 victory.
Despite collecting three hits, Puig tested the patience of manager Don Mattingly. Puig often appears injured at the plate, on the bases and in the field -- then stays in the game.
Mattingly even semi-joked about it before Sunday's game, comparing Puig to the boy who cried wolf and suggesting that nobody would believe it if Puig were to be injured.
Then in the top of the ninth inning Sunday, Puig struck out and aggravated a back injury from two weeks ago. He was removed from the game in a double-switch.
In the postgame news conference, Mattingly seemed equal parts frustrated, skeptical and sarcastic when asked about Puig's condition.
"Shoulder yesterday, back today, so I'm not sure if they're going to get him tests or get him to the MRI Monday or a bone scan on Tuesday, maybe," he said. "I'm not quite sure what we'll do. We may not do anything. I'm not sure."
Mattingly has said he takes the bad with the good in the oft-undisciplined Puig, who ran into two outs Sunday along with the three hits, two RBIs and a run scored. It is a dynamic package for sure, but it is not always pretty.
As a rule, management has let Puig run free. Teammates, however, are less amused than ever by his antics. Until Matt Kemp returns and shows his ankle is healthy, Mattingly needs Puig and will play him. With a healthy Kemp, the four outfielders for three positions takes on an edgier dynamic as the relationship between the manager and his flamboyant right fielder evolves.
Mattingly's criticisms Sunday, however, were not limited to Puig. He had harsh words for the bullpen that he felt forced him to use closer Kenley Jansen twice in the first 19 hours of the season because it could not protect a seven-run lead.
"We talked about this last year a lot; you don't play like this and win," Mattingly said. "You may win and get to the playoffs, but you don't win like this. This ends up getting us in trouble.
"Clayton [Kershaw] was really good, Hyun-Jin was really good, and I think that's where we're built. That's where we don't want to make mistakes and not take advantage of anything you could take advantage of where your starting pitching's this good."
Puig will not be sent to the Minor Leagues anytime soon, but some of Sunday's relievers are not as secure.
The Dodgers need three roster spots to make room for the return of pitchers Zack Greinke, Dan Haren and Brandon League by next Sunday night. By mid-April, when a fifth starter will be used for the first time, another spot will be needed as Josh Beckett comes off the disabled list.
Excluding Jansen, of the pitchers currently in the bullpen, the club has options on Paco Rodriguez, Chris Withrow and Jose Dominguez. Rodriguez and Withrow each allowed two of four batters to reach base, and Dominguez allowed three of four batters to reach base, with all three scoring.
Rule 5 Draft acquisition Seth Rosin did not pitch and can't be sent down without being offered back to Philadelphia and clearing waivers. Veteran long man Jamey Wright allowed four of six batters to reach base. And Jansen served up a home run to Mark Trumbo.
The Dodgers get a full day off on Monday and will work out Tuesday, when Mattingly said there would be an intrasquad game. They will have another workout Wednesday before playing the Angels in Thursday, Friday and Saturday night games.

AMERICUS – Sophomore Jasmine McSwain led Georgia Southwestern against Montevallo in a Peach Belt Conference match up on Wednesday afternoon. Montevallo's Taylor Beverly led the game with a double-double of 18 points and 15 rebounds to assist Montevallo with the win of 66-59.
In the all-time record between Montevallo and GSW, Montevallo leads 8-4. The Lady 'Canes move on to a record of 8-14, 3-12PBC. Montevallo improves in the standings with a 7-14, 4-10PBC.
It took three minutes to get the ball to fall through either basket at Barksdale Court Wednesday night. Beverly started things off for Montevallo with their first six points. GSW was trailing 10-4, when Danyelle Jones, Sierra Barrino-Kennedy, Shanedra Lockett, and Jasmine McSwain responded with three-pointers to bring the game within three points, Montevallo leading 21-18. Montevallo maintained their lead for the duration of the half, leading 27-20.
The Falcons were able to go on a 17-4 run at the beginning of the second half, lasting until a time out by GSW's bench. After the time out, the Lady 'Canes had the next two baskets by Shaniece Sheffield and Tiara Thompson. GSW then came back with a 23-11 scoring run starting with Thompsons three at 10:49 going strong until Sheffield's two made free throws at 3:15. McSwain then came up big with a much needed layup and three-pointer to bring the score within five points, 60-55. The Lady 'Canes were only able to muster up four more points before the final buzzer. Montevallo won 66-59.
Some promising stats from the game included GSW had only 25 turnovers compared to Montevallo's 27. The Lady 'Canes capitalized with 23 points off the turnovers committed by the Falcons.
Thompson and Sheffield joined McSwain with double digit scoring against the Falcons. Thompson had 13 points, grabbed a team high of seven rebounds, and one block. Sheffield added 11 points, five rebounds, three steals, and four assists.
Danisha Green was missing from the court in tonight's game due to an injury.
Joining Beverly from Montevallo with high numbers were Jasmine Thomas and Katie Colson. Thomas added 13 points and five rebounds. Colson contributed seven points and snatched 10 rebounds; nine of these were on defense.
Georgia Southwestern starts a series of games on the road starting Saturday, February 15th against Georgia Regents University. Tip-off is set for 1:30 p.m against a fellow PBC opponent.

Catastrophic Thanksgiving accident on I-10
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a catastrophic major accident on Interstate 10 (mile marker 835) near Hamshire, Texas, on Nov. 22. The accident, which happened at around 8 a.m., appears to have involved more than 150 cars in an accident scene with numerous injuries. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, Jefferson County Sheriff Department deputies, and medical personnel responded to the crash scene. State troopers investigated 18 separate motor vehicle crashes on Interstate 10 that damaged 95 vehicles, injured 29 people and killed two motorists —Vincent Leggio, 64, and his wife, Debra Leggio, 60, both of Pearland. The couple died after an 18-wheeler struck their 2007 Chevrolet SUV, authorities said. As many as 90 patients were transported to local hospitals, with maybe a dozen of those serious to critically injured. Many motorists with minor injuries refused medical attention at the scene.
Fourteen of the crashes occurred in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 10. Local EMS transported the injured to three area hospitals, Baptist Hospital and Christus Hospital-St. Elizabeth in Beaumont and Christus Hospital-St. Mary in Port Arthur.
I-10 eastbound and westbound lanes were shut down for several hours. Eastbound lanes were opened at about 5:30 p.m. Westbound were opened at noon. There was extremely thick fog in the area Thanksgiving morning.
DPS continues its investigation of this multiple vehicle crash and will file appropriate charges based on Texas traffic law. Further information will be released as it becomes available.

GAO Travel Cards: Opportunities Exist to Further Strengthen Controls
OIG-11-1: Dec 7, 2010

(202) 512-5748
This is a publication by GAO's Inspector General that concerns internal GAO operations. GAO had 2,884 travel card accounts, primarily issued to employees as individually billed accounts, and about $10.4 million in related travel card charges as of September 30, 2010. While the charges for centrally billed travel cards go directly to the government for payment, individually billed travel cardholders are directly responsible for all charges incurred on their travel card account and for remitting payments on the monthly bill. The cardholders are expected to use the government travel card only for valid expenses related to official travel. The intent of the travel card program is to improve convenience for the traveler and to reduce the government's costs of administering travel. Audits of agency travel card programs by GAO and others have found varying degrees of waste, fraud, and abuse at a number of agencies because the agencies have failed to implement adequate safeguards against card misuse. In response to these findings, Congress has held hearings and introduced legislation in the current Congress that would enhance travel card management and oversight. In addition, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has issued guidance, OMB Circular No. A-123, Appendix B, for executive branch agencies that establish standard minimum requirements (including internal controls that are designed to minimize the risk of travel card misuse) and suggested best practices for government card programs. As a legislative branch agency, GAO is not required to follow any OMB circulars, including OMB Circular No. A-123 or its appendixes. However, as a matter of policy, GAO has indicated that it generally would assess and report on the effectiveness of GAO's internal controls in accordance with the principles of OMB Circular No. A-123.
GAO's policy and procedures were generally effective in preventing and detecting travel charge card misuse. For example, GAO monitors monthly travel card activity reports to identify potential misuse and contacts employees regarding questionable charges. However, based on our analysis of travel card data, we identified areas where GAO's travel card program could be strengthened by adopting selected best practices identified in related Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance. For example, we determined that GAO could lower the spending limits (maximum charge amounts) for many cards and reduce the number of cards in use. After we provided GAO officials with our analysis, the agency lowered the monthly spending limit for individual travel charge cards from $12,500 to $7,500 and plans to assess the need for further reductions. In addition, our analysis identified a number of cards that were not being used. In response, GAO in August 2010 eliminated 12 of its 18 centrally billed cards. In testing the effectiveness of GAO's monitoring of travel card delinquency, we found that the agency could improve its procedures to reduce delinquency. Our analysis of travel card payment information for 17 months showed that 238 employees, or 10 percent of card users, were delinquent one or more times. After we briefed GAO officials on our analysis, the agency changed its procedures to begin monitoring late travel card payments earlier and, to assess its monitoring efforts, has agreed to use a delinquency rate performance metric. While the agency has had a process to take action when employees were delinquent in paying their travel cards, we found that GAO was missing a key component--procedures that set out the requirements and time frames for referring delinquent cardholders for potential disciplinary action. We also determined whether GAO was using OMB Circular No. A-123, Appendix B guidance and the controls it requires executive branch agencies to use in managing their travel card programs. We found that GAO has implemented some of the controls identified by OMB in its guidance, but is not using other controls, such as statistical and narrative information on travel card use to enhance program oversight and management of its travel card program. Further, GAO had not developed a management plan to help provide a road map for ensuring the ongoing effectiveness of its risk management controls. In addition, we found that OMB's travel card guidance was not used by GAO to manage or assess the effectiveness of its travel card program controls. This report contains recommendations.

Opening Day renewal washes away shaky springs
Every spring, the reminder goes out: don't get caught up in Spring Training statistics. Every spring, we ignore it. Every April, the proof arrives. Again.
Pretty much any big leaguer would rather have one good game on Opening Day than four weeks of good games in the Grapefruit League or Cactus League, and there's really no connection between the two. With that in mind, here's a look at several players who shook off rocky springs to post solid showings in their openers.
Jhoulys Chacin: The Rockies' Opening Day starter had exactly one good Spring Training outing, and it was in February. Over his last four games in Cactus League play, he was reached for 15 runs in 14 innings. Chacinserved up four homers to boot. It wasn't pretty.
Then, when it counted, Chacin dialed it up. Against the team that led the National League in scoring last year, he pitched 6 2/3 innings, allowing a run on three hits with six strikeouts and three walks. The strikeouts may be the most encouraging thing of all. Chacin's strikeout rate has plummeted over the past two years. If he can regain it and pitch like he did in 2010, it would be a huge boost for Colorado.
Anthony Rizzo: Naturally, all Rizzo had to do was get out of the warm air and altitude of Arizona and head to Pittsburgh in early April. Wait, what?
Rizzo can hit, but he was a fairly dismal 11-for-48 with no homers in the spring. Overall it was a .229/.296/.292 (average/on-base/slugging) line for the young first baseman, who did have some nice production (but also no homers) for Team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. His shot for the Cubs on Monday was enormous, traveling well over 400 feet at a park where it's not always easy to hit.
Rizzo isn't just a central part of this year's Cubs; he's a core piece in their rebuilding efforts, a guy they hope will be a middle-of-the-order presence for years to come. Most likely, he just had a funky 48 at-bats this spring. It happens.
Rafael Soriano: The Nationals' closer knows what he's doing, and he wasn't worried -- even if fans of his new team were. "Spring Training is useless," the 33-year-old righty told the Washington Post on Monday, dismissing his uninspiring Grapefruit League performance (seven games, 6 2/3 innings, 10 hits, six runs, eight strikeouts, three walks). It was easy for him to say after he mowed down the Marlins.
Soriano faced three batters, striking out two of them, to nail down his first save as a National. His spring, which included a visa-related delay in arrival and a tooth infection, is already in the past. Soriano will be fine.
Dan Uggla: He's kind of an all-or-nothing player, so Uggla is going to have slumps. If he goes a couple of weeks without a ball leaving the yard, Uggla's numbers are going to look bad. Still, he had a rough spring. The Braves' second baseman batted .200 with a gruesome 25 strikeouts against three walks, and he hit just two homers in 75 at-bats.
So it had to be encouraging for Uggla, and for Braves fans, to see a homer off Cole Hamels on Monday. The player who hit .287 in 2010 probably won't be seen again, but if Uggla takes his walks and hits the ball out of the park, he remains a valuable contributor to an offense. Monday was a good start.
Shane Victorino: The Red Sox aren't dumb. Much of the front office that put together some great teams is still around. So although their signing of Victorino to a three-year deal raised some eyebrows, it's reasonable to think that Boston saw something it liked in the switch-hitting 32-year-old despite his disappointing 2012 numbers.
Then Victorino followed it up with an 8-for-45 (.178) spring and a 1-for-11 in the World Baseball Classic, and perhaps a worry or two emerged. But Victorino managed a pair of hits and three RBIs in a win against the Yankees on Monday, and straight away all was right in Sox-land. Victorino remains far from a certainty; it will be interesting to see how he handles the American League and how much he's able to rebound. But he's headed in the right direction for the moment.

State Laws Could Hamper Savings from Biosimilar Drugs
By Leigh Purvis , May 30, 2013 10:21 AM
Many consumers have benefited from the recent increase in brand-name drugs that are going off patent, allowing less expensive generic drugs to enter the market. The same may happen with a new type of drugs known as biologics - but only if the generic versions of these drugs are allowed to reach consumers.
Biologic drugs are medicines derived from living organisms that are often used to treat health conditions that commonly affect older populations, such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Biologic drugs differ from traditional, chemically derived drugs in a number of ways, but perhaps the most obvious difference is their price: biologic drugs cost, on average, 22 times as much as traditional drugs.
In the United States, spending on biologic drugs is growing more than 10 times faster than spending on traditional drugs. This trend is expected to continue as biologics continue to capture more of the pharmaceutical market. There are reportedly more than 900 biotech drug products in various stages of development.
By 2019, it is estimated that biologic drugs with a combined U.S. market value of $50 billion will have lost patent protection, leaving them open to competition from less expensive versions known as biosimilars. Included in this group are top-selling biologics like Epogen (anemia), Herceptin (cancer), Enbrel (rheumatoid arthritis), and Aranesp (cancer).
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was recently granted the authority to approve biosimilars as part of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. However, even though FDA has yet to approve a biosimilar or determine when a biosimilar would be considered interchangeable with a biologic, several states are considering legislation that would regulate the substitution of biologics with biosimilars.
The legislation, which reportedly originated with the brand name biologic drug industry, contains provisions that would make substitution considerably more difficult. For example, some of the bills would require patient consent for the substitution, for the pharmacist to notify the doctor of the switch, and for the pharmacist and doctor to maintain written records of the switch for several years.
Biologic drug companies and other proponents say such measures are needed to protect patient safety, while generic drug companies and insurers argue that the legislation is actually an effort to preemptively deter the use of biosimilars. More notably, the state legislation could conflict with the Affordable Care Act, which defines interchangeability as meaning that a biosimilar can be substituted without the involvement of the prescribing doctor.
The rapid rise in the number of biologic drugs and the growing use of products already on the market are making biologics an increasingly common treatment option. However, the high costs associated with biologic drugs are intensifying the financial burden on consumers and on public programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Therefore, AARP believes that every effort should be made to avoid unnecessary barriers to achieving savings associated with less expensive biosimilars.

This has been a difficult year for many people. I personally have been pinching pennies, and admittedly, things have been pretty slow at Keatley Photo as well. But looking for a bright side to all that is going on, the downturn has offered me a chance to slow down, and think about things in a new way. Not that I want it to be this slow for too long… Of the photo shoots I have had in the last few months, several of them have shared a theme of social justice and thinking outside of oneself. For so long, our country has told us to take as much as we can, and live it up, ignoring many of the problems that exist right outside our comfortable homes. Working with, and thinking about some of these themes and issues has made a big impact on me, and is slowly changing my heart.
Photographing Lisa Ling, was one of the experiences that has made a mark on me. She is someone who is making a difference in the world, and because of her national platform, she is able to reach a wide audience and inform many people about issues that we can no longer ignore. Animal rights and cruelty is a hot topic these days. I am hopeful that because of people like Lisa, and the tools that many of us have on the Internet, we can make a difference and take steps to make changes to the way that animals are treated, both domestically and industrially. Not everyone is able to adopt an animal, or even donate to a cause for animal rights. But we can all at least be informed, and speak out against issues such as this.
The State of Washington has recently had several raids on puppy mills, which really opened my eyes to the cruel treatment of dogs. Lisa Ling also made a short documentary about the cruel business of puppy mills which was aired on Oprah (watch here).
Animal cruelty is obviously one of many issues that need to be addressed, but I hope that as a country, we might start to be more open and aware of the needs around us. Lisa spoke to a group of students before I photographed her, and it was exciting to hear some of the students talking to each other as they were leaving the event. Many of them seemed moved and challenged by her talk, and I hope that many of them will strive to make positive changes in their communities, and in the world.
Below are links to several videos and articles about puppy mills if you want to find out more.

Tweaking Hamelman's Pizza recipe
After I have read some around, I want to try Hamelman's Pizza recipe. His recipe calls for biga proof for about 12 hours and bulk fermentation of 2 hours. I want to bake my pizzas in the evening and with his schedule it's impossible (unless I get up in 4-5 am to mix the biga).
I want to tweak his formula so it will work with my schedule. What I thought to do is using the refrigerator in one of the phases. I want to consult on how I can do it with the best result. Also another thing I have learnt from previous pizza baking is that that till the time I bake the 4/5 pizza, the dough gets over proofed so I think the best way is to refrigerate the dough in the bulk fermentation or proof the dough for about 1 hour and then refrigerate it whole or divided. Any ideas?
Note: if anyone can recommend on other pizza dough with great results it will be good too!
Thanks a lot

By Drew McGuire Milam
Editor in Chief
Ynez Carrasco spent her first four years spiking balls over the net, now she hopes to spend her last year keeping the ball out of the net.
The fifth-year senior started for the volleyball team, in a sport she had played all her life, now she finds herself in unfamiliar territory, protecting the net in a sport she has never played.
The idea started when Carrasco was working in the soccer trailer last year, what started as a joke between the coaches and the stand-out volleyball player, turned serious when Assistant Coach Eric Yamamoto, the men's and women's goalkeeping coach, started working with her.
"Yamamoto started joking about me being a keeper next year, I went along with it, because I thought he was just saying it because I was tall, but I had never played soccer," Carrasco said. "Not to mention, I had played four years of volleyball, so I thought I had lost my eligibility."
The NCAA allows five years of athletic eligibility, but only four in one sport. So by playing a second sport, Carrasco was able to take advantage of her final year of eligibility.
After a week of joking around the soccer trailer, Carrasco called the coach on his joke and they started working together.
"[Yamamoto] floated the idea past me, he had been talking to [Carrasco] and it is a project that he has always wanted to undertake," Head Coach Jerry Smith said. "Take an incredible athlete, like [Carrasco], who really doesn't know that much about soccer or the goalkeeping position and see how good she can be in a short period of time."
Carrasco made the decision to use her last year of eligibility as a soccer player at the end of last year and spent all summer at soccer camps with junior high school girls.
"[Carrasco] is a very quick learner and has picked up soccer quickly. Not only has she never played goalkeeper, but she has never played soccer, which poses another problem," Yamamoto said. "Just learning the game and the eye-foot coordination is very important. She is coming along in those areas, she is an extremely hard worker, outstanding athlete and a great learner. It has been very enjoyable working with her."
The goalkeeper position has been shared most of the year between junior Erin Sharpe and freshman Alyssa Sobolik. Although Carrasco isn't ready to start competing for the starting position, helping a newcomer has benefited both sides.
"It's actually a learning experience for us too, because it's interesting, we don't think about the very fundamental things, like breaking down the position as much as she needs to. So through her, we learn too," Sharpe said. "It's really fun to see how much she has grown, her work ethic and her heart and everything is awesome."
Coming to the team with no soccer experience, Carrasco has played more of a leadership role with a very young team.
"She brings a great work ethic, great leadership skills, in terms of pushing the team through physical training, or getting up for an opponent," Smith said. "She has been a strong asset to our program, even though she hasn't played that much."
Before the Oct. 5 overtime victory against Stanford, Carrasco spoke up at the end of the team meeting.
"I told them we have to beat Stanford, because in my four years playing volleyball we had never beat them," Carrasco said.
Last week, Carrasco got her first playing time against Fresno State, already up 5-1, she finished up the last 12 minutes of the game, getting one touch.
"Coach Smith very casually walked up and told me to get ready and turned around and walked away, I thought he was joking," Carrasco said. "Everyone on the bench was cracking up at me, they said I had the look of sheer terror, all the girls were telling me to get ready and warm-up."
"I thought it would be really weird, and it was weird," she said. "But it was just like practice."
Carrasco got her second taste of playing time this past weekend against Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash. Leading 8-0, Carrasco completed the shutout that Sharpe started by closing out the final 13 minutes, that included a punt and a pass.
The all-time kills leader at Santa Clara, 2000 WCC Volleyball Player and Defender of the Year, is still planning on continuing her volleyball career in Europe. Carrasco has the option of joining a European volleyball tour in January, but may decide to put it off until September.
"This soccer experience is awesome, but I miss just going out there and not having to think about playing and every move that I have to do," she said.

When the original Broadway production of Oklahoma! opened on March 31, 1943, one New York critic wrote that the musical was "a beautiful and delightful show, fresh and imaginative".
Now, nearly 70 years later, that praise will once again ring true as students of San Juan High School present the first musical ever written by Rodgers and Hammerstein.
SJH brings an impressive array of talent to the production, especially with the voices of the lead parts. Curly is played by Braxton Brown, who has been a member of the Riverton's Children Choir and Hold That Note. He recently performed "The Star Spangled Banner" at the beginning of a SJH basketball game. He opens the play with the classic song, "Oh What a Beautiful Morning".
New to SJH, Ashia Rowland plays the part of Laurey. Before moving to Blanding, Ashia's voice helped win her the title of Miss Hurricane. She has participated in community and high school theatre since childhood and was a member of a performing group called The Force.
"I'm really excited to have this part," Ashia says, "As a cast, we have had lots of fun and we want the audience to have fun with us."
Aunt Eller's part is played by Brooke Lyman. Lyman has high praise for Kayla Vernon, SJH's new drama teacher.
"As a director, Mrs.V is brilliant," Lyman says, "She is always so positive. She is dealing with over 40 kids, and she not only comes away smiling, she leaves us smiling. She really knows how to run a drama squad."
Vernon, who is musically talented in her own right, directs both the acting and the music. The choreography is student directed. Pianists Jacque Moses, Denise Johnson and Annette Teare will accompany the songs.
The part of Will is played by the effervescent Koy Nielson, who is a veteran actor. Of the three musicals he's been in, he says, "This has been the most challenging, but my favorite."
Carsyn Endres, also an experienced actor and strong personality, is well cast as Ado Annie.
Every good play needs a villian and Bogh Bayles makes an impressive Judd Fry.
Set in Oklahoma in 1906, the play addresses the early rivalry between cowboys and farmers. It tells the story of cowboy Curley McLain's romance with a farm girl named Laurey, who must choose between him and a farm hand named Judd.
A second featured romance is that of cowboy Will Parker, and his fickle fiancée, Ado Annie.
The play won Rodgers and Hammerstein a special Pulitzer Prize and has remained popular through the years. It is well suited for a high school production, as the majority of the characters are young adults. However, the musical is demanding of its performers with over a dozen songs and five choreographed numbers.
The production will be held in San Juan High School's auditorium, Monday, February 25 to Friday, March 1, starting at 7 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased at the door. The cost is $3 for students and children, $5 for adults and $20 for a family pass.

Question about Kenmore 22422 Top Load Washer
I have a Kenmore top loading Washer (70 Series). Once the machine gets to the spin cycle the motor will kick on, the water will drain, but the machine won't spin. If you let it run it will continue with the cycle, and will enter the rinse cycle as normal, at the end of the wash cycle the clothes will be in a soaking heap at the bottom of the washer. If at any time during the spin cycle you open the lid, the motor will stop, you will hear a click, and once the lid is closed again the machine will spin as normal. What needs to be replaced
Posted by nobletat on
It appears your timer/main controller/CCU has failed in this instance.
For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...
FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.
PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.
If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.
Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.
If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Bauman, Boston Marathon double amputee, returns to work
The young man who lost both legs during the April 15, 2013, bombing at the Boston Marathon has returned to his job at Costco, based on a posting on his Facebook fan page.
On the page titled "Jeff Bauman Boston Strong, True Patriot and Hero," the young man is shown smiling, standing behind a counter at the retailer Costco. He appears to be lightly holding a metal crutch or cane and he is with two coworkers, who also are smiling.
A caption on the photo posted at about 8 p.m. ET Wednesday reads, "Jeffrey back at work today! W/Mike & Maya @#Costco!"
The page is maintained by Bauman's aunt, Jen Maybury.
Bauman, a 28-year-old native of Chelmsford, Mass., was the centerpiece of an iconic photograph from the day of the bombing that showed him being carried away from the bomb scene, face ashen, legs ruined.
After the disaster, the public appeared to rally around the young man, and news organizations followed his budding friendship with Carlos Arredondo, a father who'd lost two sons who helped carry Bauman away from the carnage.
Since then, Bauman has begun to walk with the help of rehabilitation and prosthetics. In March, a post appeared on his Facebook fan page announcing that Bauman was expecting a child with his fiancée, Erin Hurley. In April, publishers released his memoir, Stronger, focused on the marathon bombings and life since, and written in collaboration with Bret Witter.
Bauman is credited with identifying the marathon bombing suspect for police.
The photo on his Facebook page appeared at about 8 p.m. ET Wednesday and generated almost 8,000 "Likes" by early Thursday and prompted comments like "Inspirational" and "…happy to see you back!"

Including Your Dog in Your Family Portrait
The family portrait is a classic must-get when you're taking pictures of your dog, and you can go as traditional or creative as you'd like. Just remember to position the people and the dog so they're roughly the same distance away from the camera (or on the same plane in photo lingo). Generally, the easiest way to keep everyone on the same plane is to put them all in a straight line, but that's about as exciting as watching grass grow, so think creatively:
Sit them on the staircase or front porch to create two rows.
Gather your dog and his people in a corner on the couch, using pillows and cushions to create different heights.
Use a cool-looking chair or two; a couple of people can sit on the chair while others lean on it.

Australian PM Gillard stuns voters by announcing September poll
AUSTRALIAN Prime Minister Julia Gillard set national elections for Sept. 14, stunning voters with eight months notice of the vote in a bold move designed to end political uncertainty surrounding her struggling minority government.
The election date means Gillard's government will serve a full three-year term, although analysts said the early notice meant she had started an eight-month campaign and lost her ability catch opposition leader Tony Abbott by surprise with a snap early poll.
"She's going for the strategy than an incumbent can wear out a fragile, or potentially fragile, opponent with a long campaign. The idea is for them to punch themselves out," analyst Paul Williams from Griffith University told Reuters.
"In this case, Tony Abbott and the opposition are so well entrenched it will backfire."
Opinion polls show Abbott's opposition Liberal-National party is well ahead of the government and Gillard would be swept from office, losing up to 18 seats, if an election were held now. The government could lose power if it loses just one seat.
The election will decide whether Australia keeps its controversial carbon tax, and a 30 percent tax on coal and iron ore mining profits, which Abbott has promised to scrap it if he wins power.
But apart from these two policy differences, the government and opposition differ little on domestic issues, and both firmly support greater involvement with China, the country's biggest trade partner, and close defence ties with the United States.
The financial markets were unmoved by the announcement. The Australian dollar remained firm, hitting its highest level against the Japanese yen in over four years. The share market reached a fresh 21-month high and government bonds were steady.
Abbott said he was ready to fight the election, adding it would be decided on Gillard's credibility. "This election will be about trust," he said, hinting he will focus on Gillard's broken promise not to introduce a carbon tax and failure to deliver a promised budget surplus this year.
Abbott has successfully eroded government support through his constant negative attacks, but has yet to make any detailed policy announcements. He will make his first major 2013 speech on Thursday.
Business said it welcomed the early announcement of the election date, but said it would not have much of an impact on certainty given the date fell within the normal election timing.
"Its real value is the knowledge that the last quarter of the year will be uninterrupted by an election," said Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Anderson.
Gillard currently governs with support from a group of independents and the Greens, who all support the Sept. 14 election. That means she has locked in majority support until the election, although a sudden by-election could still change the balance if a lawmaker dies.
Under Australian laws, governments serve for up to three years and the prime minister decides the election date. Gillard said she wanted to end political uncertainty by setting a date.
"It is not right for Australians to be forced into a guessing game, and it's not right for Australians to not face this year with certainty and stability," she said in a speech to the National Press club.
Her speech laid the groundwork for an election year battle focused on the economy, arguing that a strong economy is necessary to ensure fairness in education and disability services -- two key policies aimed at Labor heartland voters.
Gillard said the governor-general would dissolve the current parliament on August 12, giving the government two more sessions of parliament to pass laws and deliver its May budget.
Australia's resource economy is expected to slow this year as a stubbornly high currency crimps export earnings and a boom in mining investment plateaus. Australia's A$1.5 trillion ($1.53 trillion) economy has grown for the past 22 years and has overtaken Spain as the world's 12th largest.
Though the government has dropped its pledge to reach a budget surplus for 2012/13, any deficit is still likely to be a fraction of the economy's A$1.5 trillion in annual economic output and no worry to investors.

Just want to say hi to all.
Gotta question though. Does anyone know what the bonus tracks are for the recent reissues of Shuttered Room and Real Time Stood Still? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I thought the following might help serve as a sort of initiation ritual. It's not much as far as thought-provoking lyrics go, but here goes.
Navigator on a ship of fools
where logic should lead
tradition rules
I believe with a guiding hand
to the promised land
they believe we must never "know"
and to Babylon we should go
jesters discover the undercover
to see the man once perceived a mouse
and toss the mortal map from the drifting house
"Overboard," the hoardes all laugh
carefree and cruel but a careless gaff
thanks to their blunder
now, I'm going under,
I know it's not "There once was a women from Nantucket," but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Life with these two girls is wonderful. We certainly have our crazy days and plenty of spankings to go around, but the funny, wonderful moments make it all worth it! Here's some of what these girls have been up to…
Avery has just finished up her first year of homeschooling! She has done SO well this year! We did a Pre-K core curriculum, but added on Kindergarten math, K reading, and K language arts. It was perfect for her. She is reading awesome for her age. She can sound out words and decode little story books like a pro. Her math skills really are amazing. She learned to tell time on a regular clock, add and subtract double digits without borrowing, figure perimeter (yes!), recognize and name geometrical shapes like sphere, cylinder, etc., and much more. She worked on handwriting through copywork and learned about periods, question marks, commas, exclamation marks, and even apostrophes. She wrote some in a journal which I will treasure forever, and lots, lots more. I am so proud of her hard work and she seemed to enjoy every minute of school! I can't wait to get our curriculum for next year!
Avery is still an awesome big sister. I know she will be SO helpful once Colt gets here. She insists on hugging and kissing my belly and saying good night to her baby brother every night. She prays for Colt's health and safety every night. She can be a little bossy to Bailey, but hey, that's what big sisters do, right? She is helpful to Bailey when Bailey will let her be. She is still very obedient and loves to please. She is so loving toward Craig and I. She will say things all the time like, "Mommy, I love you all the way to the sky!" or "Mommy, I love you as far as the moon!" My favorite is when I look at her during the day for no reason and she'll give me this sweet little smile and sometimes a wave.
She took gymnastics all year and once a month, the moms could come in for Watch Day. She would look over at me a lot and give me a thumbs up and a smile. She learned so much and even though she was the youngest in her class, I thought she did excellent and knows a lot of gymnast terms that I do not. She continues to be such a joy and I love watching her learn and grow and hit milestones that I can't believe she is already reaching.
It's amazing to see the accomplishments Bailey has made this year since she has turned 2. She talks like a 3 or 4 year old…probably because she's always listening to her big sister. She listens a little, but she talks A LOT! A while back, she started asking "Why?" I think that started way earlier than it should have! And then it turned into "Why because?" So cute. She wants to know about everything and is very inquisitive like her sister. She moved into a big girl bed at the end of April when we got the girls bunk beds since they are now sharing Avery's room. She did much better than I thought. She has only gotten up once that first night, and while she does take longer to fall asleep, she has really done well transitioning from the crib to the bed. Another huge accomplishment has been her recent decision to pretty much potty train herself! I would let her sit on the potty anytime she wanted, but she would never go. I figured I wasn't going to push it. With Colt being born soon, I didn't really want to deal with it honestly, and I just figured we'd tackle it after things calmed down this summer. But one day a few weeks ago, she sat on the potty and surprised me by actually going! That was it! She immediately started doing all of her business in the potty starting that day and has only had one or two small accidents since then! She has been in big girl panties for a couple of weeks and I couldn't be more proud of her! I guess there is one big advantage to my strong-willed girl!
She does continue to be strong-willed and loves to test my limits, but when she's not doing that, she can be pretty sweet. When Craig or I spend alone time with her running an errand or playing at home while the others are gone, we always talk later about how good she is when she's by herself. She is a joy to talk to and ask questions to. I love to ask her "Who made you?" She will say, "God," and then follow it with, "And God made my fingers, and my eyes, and my legs, and my hiney…." Oh funny girl! She still loves to suck on her pointer finger on her right hand when she has her dee-dee, and I am not planning to take that away anytime soon with a new baby right around the corner. I am hoping this will be another transition that will go easier than expected, but I think she will have a little adjusting to do with not being Mommy's baby anymore. I am loving watching her grow up, and can't wait to see what else God has in store for this family!
