Nothing left to waste in the Philippines
The waste sector spans from collection, sorting, separation, recycling, handling of residuals and safe, final disposal. The elements of an efficient and effective waste management system are multifaceted and its operations are complex. While many perceive the entire process as a 'dirty' business, it requires a high level of professionalism and sophistication to run a well-organized waste management scheme. It is not a surprise that a strong informal sector has evolved to cater to the unmet waste disposal needs of communities, industries and other waste generators.
It is estimated that over a hundred thousand people in the Philippines work in the informal waste sector. Many of these belong to vulnerable, marginalized groups - waste pickers in open dumpsites and other dumping grounds and wandering trash collectors, haulers and buyers on-foot or using wooden carts and bicycles.

At Cracker Barrel we prepare our food with the highest care.
For over 45 years, Cracker Barrel has been the trusted home-away-from-home for millions of Americans. We began as a homegrown business and continue to be guided by our original core values. We believe in warm welcomes and friendly service. We believe in Pleasing People and treating our employees and our guests as part of our family.
For us, one of the things that Pleasing People means is preparing each and every one of our menu items with great care.
We are committed to providing our guests with high-quality, homestyle food. If we can't source quality ingredients that meet our high standards for a particular dish, we simply don't serve it. This commitment to quality ingredients is how we provide authentic, country style cooking that is rooted in real, homestyle recipes. It's also how we keep our menu fresh and exciting with new seasonal dishes and continue to offer the best value to our guests.
The bottom line is, at Cracker Barrel we do our best to source high quality ingredients for our recipes because our guests deserve it.
And we've been doing that since we opened our doors in 1969.
We like homegrown.
Homegrown tastes better. With our Tennessee roots, and more than 600 stores in 43 states, sourcing ingredients domestically is core to our beliefs. By far and away, the vast majority of our ingredients come from right here in America. Our green beans, potatoes, farm raised catfish, sweet potatoes, turnip greens, and all of our beef, pork and poultry are domestically grown or raised. We serve only 100% American apples, wild blueberries that are picked in Maine, juice squeezed from Florida Valencia oranges, spring raised trout from Idaho and baby carrots that are farmed in California.
Raised well.
At Cracker Barrel, we are committed to staying on top of the latest standards in animal welfare. We encourage our product suppliers to lead the way in researching and adopting the absolute best animal welfare practices in the raising, handling and transportation of animals.
Cracker Barrel is continually working with our product suppliers to improve the quality of the food we serve and the products we sell. Importantly, collaboration and membership with organizations like the Coalition for Sustainable Egg Supply help us to stay current with industry best practices, and inform our decisions for the future of our company. In February of 2016 we established the goal of transitioning 100% of our egg supply to cage – free over the next 10 years. Cracker Barrel has made this commitment to remain consistent with consumer preferences, advancing industry practices and supply availability.
Our general policies.
- Cracker Barrel requires our suppliers comply with all laws put forth by all federal and local regulatory agencies.
- Our internal compliance processes verify that our suppliers have established proper animal handling procedures to ensure that animal-friendly policies are followed.
- Cracker Barrel requires our suppliers to exercise humane treatment standards in the preparation of poultry, pork, and beef.
- Cracker Barrel encourages and gives preference to suppliers that meet or exceed animal welfare standards set forth by:
- United Egg Producers
- National Chicken Council
- National Pork Producers Council
- National Cattlemen's Beef Association
We put quality first.
At Cracker Barrel, every recipe begins with premium ingredients, like USDA Choice steaks, and fresh Grade A eggs. Our syrup is 100% natural, free from artificial colors and flavors and individually bottled in Vermont. We serve Westminster crackers from a 100-year-old recipe. Our wild caught seafood is sourced from MSC certified 100% sustainable fisheries. We use chicken and turkey raised without human grade medically important antibiotics, and the same will be true for all of our beef and pork by January 2017.
Homemade is delicious.
We believe homemade is a special ingredient. That's why we hand roll our biscuits and make our mashed potatoes and gravy from scratch throughout the day in our restaurants. Our eighteen hour slow roasted beef, the hand-rolled dumplins in our Chicken n' Dumplins and our hand dipped, hand breaded Homestyle Chicken are all examples of how we try to remain true to our heritage of authentic country style cooking.
Every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store. Every day.
Pleasing People and making guests feel at home takes care and precision. Every detail, no matter how small, counts.
Our mission of Pleasing People coupled with our dedication to doing things right, and doing them consistently, has enabled us to maintain the quality and experience our guests expect – all at a fair price.
Welcome to Cracker Barrel.... more

The fight for Obama's library
The University of Chicago may be touted as the clear front-runner to host Barack Obama's presidential library and museum, but universities from the East Coast to Hawaii aren't ready to cede the race: They're putting up a fight to claim a piece of the president's legacy — and the cash that comes along with it.
It's a logistical war that demands everything from close coordination with the National Archives on public records laws to the construction of roads and sewers. But to the victor goes some of the choicest spoils in academia: the chance to be linked to the glitz of an ex-president who will bring with him more than half a billion dollars to build and endow the library.
Story Continued Below
The early odds are weighted well in Chicago's favor. It's the city the president represented in his first elected office, the place where first lady Michelle Obama spent most of her life and the base for many Obama senior aides, friends and top donors, including Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama's first White House chief of staff. Two of the three founders of the Barack H. Obama Foundation, launched last week to begin the library planning project, are based in Chicago, while the other has ties to Illinois politics.
( Obama library College Bowl: The contenders)
"Chicago is undeniably a natural fit for the Obama presidential library and museum," Emanuel said as the foundation launched. "Though we're excited to welcome the president home, we are not resting on our laurels and will put forward a competitive proposal so that his choice is an easy one."
The University of Chicago is, of course, the favorite. It's where Obama taught law and where first lady Michelle Obama worked. Susan Sher, the first lady's former chief of staff and a longtime Obama friend, is leading the university's bid, while former Obama strategist David Axelrod heads up his own political institute there. Plenty of others in the first couple's circle have tight ties to the university.
Emanuel has said that he wants only one bid to come from his city but hasn't yet explained how his office will narrow down the options or enforce his request, which may in part be intended to make it possible for Obama to choose one hometown host without offending other longtime friends. And, so far, neither the University of Chicago, nor the other institutions interested in hosting the library have given in.
( PHOTOS: Obama, presidential athlete)
The University of Illinois at Chicago is interested and has lobbyist — and alumnus — Tony Podesta, brother of the president's new senior adviser John Podesta, advocating on its behalf. After Emanuel expressed his desire to see just one bid come from the city, the university made clear that it wasn't giving up. Predominantly black Chicago State University is also in the running and has Emil Jones, Obama's Illinois state Senate mentor, leading its campaign.

If at first you don't succeed…
After Han Zhang, 30, first went after her husband's manhood when he asked her for a divorce, she went after him a second time three months later.
During the first incident, Zhang reportedly crushed up sleeping pills and put them in Han Mou's drink. When he fell asleep, she went after his private parts with some scissors and was able to flush his penis down the toilet before he woke up.
She was apparently worried that he was interested in another woman. "If he and I divorced, and that our children will have a stepmother, a terrible thing." Zhang told China News.
Somehow Mou was able to forgive her. "I still love my wife," he said. "She was 16 years old just like me, and gave me two sons."
Zhang was released on bail and returned home to look after her husband and children.
According to the translation about what happened next, some time passed before Zhang became jealous again and used a syringe to inject a box of milk with crushed sleeping pills.
Then this happened:
"Zhang reminded of her husband's underwear…the future of his two children…her heart has become increasingly irritable…stripped pants…picked up the scissors to his remaining…all genitals cut off and threw it on the ground."
She then apparently called for an ambulance and turned herself in to police.

Chemistry is often called the central science as it deals specifically with the 112 elements that comprise all matter. Everything around us - the air we breathe, water we drink, food we eat, buildings we live in, cars we drive - our very bodies - are all made from these elements. There are five main branches of Chemistry:
- Analytical Chemistry - detection and measurement of chemical species used in fields like forensics
- Organic Chemistry - deals with carbon compounds, which are the main components of living matter
- Inorganic Chemistry - delves into all the remaining elements, most of which are found in the mineral world
- Physical Chemistry - is the study of the fundamental principles governing the behavior of matter
- Theoretical Chemistry - basic physical theories that provide frameworks within which all chemical phenomena is understood
The primary focus of the program is to provide you with extensive theoretical knowledge in all five branches of Chemistry, while enhancing your technical and practical skills with hands-on experience and research opportunities.
We offer BSc degrees with majors in Chemistry or Biochemistry. You can also select a General Science major and take Chemistry or Biochemistry courses as part of that major. If you already have your BSc we also offer MSc and PhD degrees.
The major in Chemistry for the 40-course BSc and BASc degree programs is accredited by the Canadian Society for Chemistry and fulfills the requirements for professional standing in chemistry in Alberta through the Association for the Chemical Profession of Alberta.

What Determines Where You Stand On The GS Scale?
Having trouble figuring out which "grade" you are in on the GS Scale? Use this information to understand:
1) Levels of Qualifying Education or Training
2) What Officially Defines An "Academic Year"
3) The Benefit From College or University Education
4) The Boost From "Superior Academic Achievement"
Qualification Standards for General Schedule Positions
Part E.4.(b) – E.4.(h)
(b) Qualifying Education or Training—The following table shows the amount and level of education typically required for each grade for which education alone can be qualifying. At GS-13 and above, appropriate specialized experience is required for all positions.
High school graduation or equivalent
1 academic year above high school
2 academic years above high school,
4 academic years above high school leading to a bachelor's degree,
Bachelor's degree with Superior Academic
Achievement for two-grade interval positions,
Master's (or equivalent graduate degree such as LL.B. or J.D. as
specified in qualification standards or individual occupational
Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree,
For research positions only, completion of all requirements for a doctoral or equivalent degree (See information on research positions in the qualification standard for professional and scientific positions in Section IV-A.)
© Academic year—An academic year is computed as follows:
At the undergraduate level, successfully completed education that has not led to possession of a degree is credited based on its relationship to 120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours. For example, 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours is comparable to 1 year of undergraduate education. Four years of progressive study or 120 semester hours meets the degree requirements described in this Manual. Additional credit cannot be given for duplicate course work.
For study at a business or technical school, 36 weeks of study (20+ classroom hours per week) is comparable to 1 academic year above high school.
An academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that the school attended has determined to represent 1 academic year of full-time study. This determination is made based on normal course loads for a full year of study in the graduate program. If that information cannot be obtained from the school, 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours should be considered as satisfying the 1 year of full-time study requirement. Part-time graduate education is creditable in accordance with its relationship to a year of full-time study at the school attended.
When academic credit is expressed in contract months, units, or other terms that differ from conventional semester or quarter hours, it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide an interpretation of such credits from the appropriate institution in order to equate them to the semester or quarter hours specified in the standard.
(d) College or university education—Educational course work may be at either the undergraduate or graduate level. Successful completion of graduate level courses will be accepted as evidence that an applicant also possesses the knowledge taught in courses at lower levels in the same field.
Applications can be accepted from students who expect to complete qualifying education within 9 months from the date of application. However, agencies must verify that the education was completed successfully before the applicant can be appointed.
Generally, courses in the same or a related major taken at one institution can be assumed to be progressively more difficult and, thus, credited at full value. However, the educational record of applicants who have changed majors, attended several different institutions, or taken courses only sporadically should be reviewed closely. Course titles and numbers may help determine level. (Courses entitled "Introduction to…" or with numbers beginning with A or 1 are almost always lower level courses.) Transcripts noting the level of the student, e.g., freshman or junior, when the courses were taken may help also. If the level of an applicant's courses is not clear, the degree to which the courses relate to each other should be considered in determining whether the education meets the requirements of the position being filled.
When qualifying applicants on the basis of years of graduate education in lieu of an advanced degree, care must be exercised in determining credit for post- baccalaureate education. Such education must show evidence of progress through a set curriculum or program leading to an advanced degree. Extra credit for graduate education should not be given because a person has taken longer than the usual time to complete the educational program. It is OPM's intent that 2 years of graduate study be substantially equivalent to a master's degree, and 3 years be substantially equivalent to a Ph.D. degree. Graduate-level credit should not be given for undergraduate level course work unless it is a requisite part of the graduate-level curriculum. If an applicant had to complete under-graduate course work as a prerequisite for pursuing an advanced degree, that undergraduate-level study should not be credited as graduate education.
(e) Crediting education in one-grade interval occupations—For one-grade interval occupations, when education is used to meet specialized experience requirements at grade GS-5, the level of the course work must have been equivalent to at least the junior- and senior-year levels of a baccalaureate program. (See paragraph(d)above for discussion of level of education.)
(f) Superior academic achievement (S.A.A.)—This provision covers advanced trainee positions that provide opportunities for advancement upon attaining required job skills and knowledge, require no prior experience, and have work classified at two-grade intervals. It recognizes students who have achieved superior academic standing as evidenced by one of the three methods described below. In order to be creditable under this provision, superior academic achievement must have been gained in a curriculum that is qualifying for the position to be filled.
The superior academic achievement provision applies to both initial appointment and inservice placement actions. It is to be used to determine eligibility for applicable GS-7 level positions of persons who have completed (or expect to complete within 9 months) all the requirements for a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
Senior students can apply for positions prior to graduation and be considered for a GS-7 appointment based on their grades at the time of application. However, some applicants may not receive their final grades in a timely fashion after graduation. Therefore, agencies can either:
Require that senior students provide evidence that they maintained the required grades during their senior year prior to entry on duty; or
Appoint applicants based on their claimed academic achievement, pending verification of final grades. Agencies should inform such applicants that if the required grades were not maintained through their senior year, there is a possibility that they may not be able to retain either the GS-7 grade or the position.
S.A.A. is based on (1) class standing, (2) grade-point average, or (3) honor society membership.
1. Class standing—Applicants must be in the upper third of the graduating class in the college, university, or major subdivision, such as the College of Liberal Arts or the School of Business Administration, based on completed courses.
2. Grade-point average (G.P.A.)—Applicants must have a grade-point average of:
3.0 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B" or better) as recorded on their official transcript, or as computed based on 4 years of education, or as computed based on courses completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum; or
3.5 or higher out of a possible 4.0 ("B+" or better) based on the average of the required courses completed in the major field or the required courses in the major field completed during the final 2 years of the curriculum.
Grade-point averages are to be rounded to one decimal place. For example, 2.95 will round to 3.0 and 2.94 will round to 2.9.
The G.P.A should be credited in a manner that is most beneficial to the applicant. For example, applicants may list their G.P.A. as recorded on their final transcript, or they may choose to compute their G.P.A. The specific provisions are detailed below:
G.P.A. as recorded on the final transcript. The final transcript must cover the period being used to determine G.P.A., i.e., all 4 years or last 2 years.
G.P.A. including course work after bachelor's degree. Undergraduate course work obtained after an applicant has received a bachelor's degree can be credited in computing the G.P.A. of applicants who need those courses to meet minimum qualification requirements, i.e., the courses are required by the standard or by the individual occupational requirement. They are treated as described in the following example:
An applicant for a Biologist position has a bachelor's degree that included no biology course work, but has taken 24 semester hours in undergraduate biology courses after obtaining the bachelor's degree. The grades earned in the biology courses should be included in the computation to determine this applicant's eligibility for GS-7 under the Superior Academic Achievement provision. These courses should be counted in determining (1) the overall grade-point average, (2) the average obtained during the final 2 years of the undergraduate curriculum, and/or (3) the average in the major field of study. For purposes of this example, biology would be considered the major field of study.
G.P.A. excluding pass/fail courses. Applicants usually cannot claim credit based on their overall G.P.A. if more than 10 percent of their total credit was based on pass/fail or similar systems rather than on traditional grading systems. However, if they can document that only their freshman-year courses (25 percent or less of their total credit) were credited on a pass/fail or similar system, they can use their overall G.P.A. to claim Superior Academic Achievement. If 10 percent or fewer credits or only freshman-year courses were based on pass/fail or similar systems, such credits can be ignored and the G.P.A. computed on the graded courses. Applicants can, however, still claim credit based on their last 2 years if 10 percent or fewer credits were based on pass/fail or similar systems. Applicants who cannot claim credit under the G.P.A. requirements may claim credit for superior academic achievement only on the basis of class standing or honor society membership.
3. Election to membership in a national scholastic honor society—Applicants can be considered eligible based on membership in one of the national scholastic honor societies listed below.

Press Release
Melanie Manchot

Stephen D + Stephen G
Stephen G (Bronson)
From September 25th until November 28th, 2015, Galerie m is showing the major new multi channel video installation
Melanie Manchot
(*1966 Witten/Germany, lives and works in London/GB).
explores the intimate stories, rituals, repetitions and ruptures of lives spent in addiction and recovery. Inspired by the visual acuity of renowned contemporary filmmakers, the work connects and collapses individual recollections in which everyday situations, events and activities are rendered dramatic or abstract and infused with tragedy, pathos and humour.
Over the last two years Manchot has worked in dialogue with twelve people in recent recovery from substance misuse, in rehabilitation communities in Liverpool, Oxford and London.
is directly informed by their personal written and oral testimonies, creative conceptions, and performances within final works. Single sequences are shot as continuous takes, referencing iconic scenes from the films of Michael Haneke, Gus Van Sant, Bela Tarr and Chantal Akerman – a ferry journey across the Mersey, a darkened room looking out on to an early morning street, a car wash, the cutting of daisies with small scissors, the obsessive cleaning of a floor – providing the framework for reflections on remembered incidents and states of mind. Twelve employs a diversity of cinematic technique and tropes adapted by Manchot to reveal the complex and non-linear nature of recovery.
While the work is made with a group of recovering addicts it ultimately poses questions about the difficulty of being in the world and of finding meaningful forms of existence – questions that might affect many of us, even if not confronted with addiction.
Melanie Manchot is a London based visual artist who works with photography, film, video and installation as part of a performative and participatory practise. Her projects often explore specific sites and public spaces in order to locate notions of individual and collective identities, investigating particular gestures and forms of movement or activities that become the marker of a group or community.
was commissioned by Portraits of Recovery and developed by Melanie Manchot working with Action on Addiction, the Ley Community and the Psychosocial Research Unit at the University of Central Lancashire.
Melanie Manchot provides detailed information about the film on the special website http://www.twelve.org.uk which is meant to permanently grow in order to become a base for further research on the topic.

U.S. feedlots are projected to see "slightly negative" profit margins in 2013, according to Bloomberg. Due to high corn prices it's becoming more and more difficult to feed cattle for profit.
In this tough market cattlemen must control their losses. Thanks to Double D Family Mat Shop they can control injury and weight loss due to slick and unforgiving surfaces. Double D Family Mat Shop produces floor mats that reduce falls in processing areas by nearly 100%.
"We've run 150,000 cattle over our mats and they're still going strong. Since we put the mats in we have not had a calf fall. Reducing slippage also reduces stress on the cattle," said Scott Sturgeon, DVM of Sturgeon Vet Services in Rocky, Oklahoma.
A standard 4 x 10 mat in front of the chute costs less than $450. The loss of one 1,100 or 1,200 pound steer at $1.30 per pound could cost around $1,500. That cost of injury more than justifies the price of a mat that will last for years.
"A lot of our customers process 500-750 head a day. To throw one of our mats down in front of the chute costs them less than $450. That mat will last them three to five years. If you figure running 390,000 to 585,000 head across the mat in just three years, the mat costs less than a penny per head. At that rate many of our customers are finding it risky to not install the mats," said Dale Goetz, President and CEO of Double D Family Mat Shop.
Temple Grandin, Ph.D., suggests using non-slip mats made from woven tire treads to reduce the chance of hoof damage. Ribbed and barred concrete can tear at the hooves whereas the woven pattern of a Double D Cattle Mat provides a soft, firm surface no matter how dirty the mats get. Double D has also developed a hook to help move the mats around for cleaning underneath.
"We just use a crowbar to move the mats and clean them at the end of the day. Sometimes we'll need to power wash. We don't have any trouble keeping them clean," said Sturgeon.
Double D Cattle Mats are made by weaving together discarded tire treads and then fastening them with stainless steel bolts, making them virtually indestructible. They're heavy, too, so they don't move often in heavily traveled areas. They are great for alleyways, sale barns, vet clinics, packing plants, trailers and anywhere livestock encounter slick surfaces. The traction and soft surface are especially beneficial around the chute.
Double D Family Mat Shop, Inc., is a family-owned and operated manufacturer of custom-built livestock slip reduction systems. Our heavy-duty, rubber mats protect livestock and employees from potentially costly injury in heavy loading and processing areas. Learn more about Double
D Family Mat Shop on the company website.

This effects a lot more aspects than simply dunks; the jump on his shot was off, his rebounding dipped, he couldn't run the floor with the rest of the team, and he suffered on defense. Richardson's hand doesn't worry me; his knee does. Once his legs are back at 100%, we'll see the real JRich.
This team has been scoring in bunches lately. Don't forget; nobody else on the team (Al, SJax, Monta, ect) besides Baron is a 23-24 PPG scorer. Richardson can still average 20 points with this lineup.
Yeah, it's too early to be ripping on Richardson, who was in top 15 scoring last year i think, but i also think he may score less, now that we have a lot more offensive options.
Also Al is averaging 24+ as a Warrior, we'll see how that continues, and Monta still brings a solid 17+ or double digit points either starting or coming off the bench every game.
Agreed. Richardson doesn't need to raise his scoring level with the offense added last week. His offensive game is just fine, he can add defense or ball handling now. Guys like Harrington and Monta already secure the point totals.

AN exhibition of iconic images captured by a Sully photographer who has snapped some of the world's biggest rock stars is coming to Cardiff.
Chalkie Davies is the man responsible for some of the 1970s and 1980s most enduring images of stars such as David Bowie, Paul McCartney, The Clash, Debbie Harry, Bruce Springsteen and countless others.
He also shot iconic album covers for the likes of The Specials, Thin Lizzy and The Who.
Now, a collection of his early works, taken during his tenure with the NME in the late 1970s, is set to be displayed at the National Museum Cardiff from May 9 until September 6.
Originally from Sully, Chalkie began training as an aircraft engineer before - aged 20 - deciding to take up photography for a living.
In 1975 he became staff photographer at the NME, where he worked until 1979 shooting numerous covers and features as well as hitting the road with some of the biggest rock and new-wave stars of the era.
Now living in New York, Chalkie now primarily works in studio and has only recently started the painstaking process of reviewing his archives for exhibit.

To pave the way for paid-for references for products and services, as revealed by Media Week earlier this month, regulator Ofcom has published new rules about what can and can't be shown today (20 December).
Accompanying the rules will be a new product placement logo that Ofcom will issue in the New Year, which must appear for a minimum of three seconds at the start and end of programmes so that viewers know which UK-produced programmes contain product placement.
The logo must also appear at the return of the programme following any advertisement breaks.
Ofcom has announced that product placement will be allowed in films (including dramas and documentaries), TV series (including soaps), entertainment shows and sports programmes.
However, it will be prohibited in all children's and news programmes and in UK-produced current affairs, consumer affairs and religious programmes.
As expected, no product placement will be allowed of tobacco, alcohol, gambling, foods or drinks that are high in fat, salt or sugar, medicines and baby milk.
Ofcom has also prohibited the paid-for placement of products and services that cannot be advertised on television, such as weapons or escort agencies. All these prohibitions are reflected in Ofcom's new rules.
The rules also state that product placement must not impair broadcasters' editorial independence and must always be editorially justified. This means that programmes cannot be created or distorted so that they become vehicles for the purposes of featuring product placement.
European and UK legislation also requires that placed products and services cannot be promoted or endorsed, or be featured in an unduly prominent way within programmes.
The TV rules reflect new UK legislation and follows the Government's decision earlier this year to allow product placement in UK TV programmes, as a result of changes to European broadcasting legislation.
The regulator has also liberalised the rules on paid-for references to brands and products in radio programmes.
For radio, Ofcom has revised the rules on paid-for references to products and services in programmes. The new radio rules, which take effect today, protect listeners by making sure that any commercial arrangements that result in on-air references to products or brands are made clear to the audience.
Previously, the only commercial references allowed were sponsorship credits around programmes, and advertisements broadcast in commercial breaks.
The new rules will permit commercial references to be integrated within programming. However, broadcasters will have to ensure that listeners are always aware when promotions are paid-for.
Paid-for radio references to brands and products in news and children's programming will remain prohibited.
Commercial TV stations who intend to broadcast programmes containing product placement will launch an audience awareness campaign, managed by Ofcom, in the New Year.

MGT535: Incident Response Team Management
Sun, April 6, 2014
The training was valuable to me because it put a lot of things in perspective with my job but providing good content to take back was worth the training.
This course brings hands-on and very relevant information for everyone establishing or being part of an incident response team.
This course will take you to the next level of managing an incident response team. Given the frequency and complexity of today's attacks, incident response has become a critical function for organizations. Detecting and efficiently responding to incidents, especially those where critical resources are exposed to elevated risks, has become paramount, and to be effective, incident response efforts must have strong management processes to facilitate and guide them. Managing an incident response team requires special skills and knowledge. A background in information security management or security engineering is not sufficient for managing incidents. Furthermore, incident responders with strong technical skills do not necessarily become effective incident response managers. Special training is necessary.
This course was developed by an information security professional with over 26 years of experience, much of it in incident response. He was the founder of the first U.S. government incident response team. Students will learn by applying course content through hands-on skill-building exercises. These exercises range from: writing and evaluating incident response procedures, to the table-top validation of procedures, incident response management role playing in hypothetical scenarios, and hands-on experience in tracking incident status in hypothetical scenarios.

Author Statement
Author Statement
I've developed this course because of the critical importance of good management in incident response efforts. As management goes, so do these efforts. I've learned much about incident response management from having formed and managed incident response teams and from helping many organizations start or improve incident response efforts. I've taken the knowledge and skills I have gained and incorporated them into this course. - Eugene Schultz, Ph.D
Dr. Schultz passed away Oct 2, 2011. Stephen Northcutt was interim author for this course until March 2013, when I was asked to take lead for the course development. Incident Response Management is a dynamic and challenging endeavor fraught with high personnel turnover, rapid technology shifts, minimal funding, and a nearly impossible objective of defending an organization from every conceivable threat. Like Dr. Schultz, I managed incident response teams and created incident response capabilities where none existed before. Incident Response is the most challenging position to hold in Information Assurance, as you are the team that is called upon at the worst time, to fight the hardest battles. Through this course, I intend to equip each one of you to navigate difficult political environments, to understand complicated technology, to analyze the data and information technical staff provide, and to translate this information into business relevant information that will make the organization more resilient for the long term. - Chris Crowley

text: hi Bill I'm not limited by knowledge on materials unlike you. I'd argue if something gives 10x the clockrate it destroys everything of course, even at 1/10 th of the the transistor capacity. Current status is: Phenom2 overclocks better and is real cheap and when programmed real low level near assembler level it's having a faster IPC than Nehalem. Especially in SSE2 type codes it's dominant. Just the compiler fools you, it's intel friendly, to say polite. That seems current status. Yet objectively, Q6600 was a quantum leap forward. A brilliant design, when it released. Connected L2's or not connected, who cares when it delivers a big punch? Testsetprogram tricks like hyperthreading, have seen this, done that. It doesn't work for most HPC type workloads. Just makes timing your software more complicated. All the cpu's are still 4 cores, that's reality. I don't see progress in multicores. Newer processtechnology from 65 nm to 45 nm, hopefully it produces cpu's cheaper, yet it hardly clocks a lot higher at production level. Only for watercooled overclockers it makes AMD suddenly very attractive now, yet that's not how clusters get build usually (my cluster probably is a big exception anyway, it has 1 node currently to give one example). Nehalem hardly is better performing IPC wise than Q6600 for integer workloads, and it is doing so at a huge powercost. Phenom2 in fact is 0% better integerwise than Phenom1. Even more disappointing in that respect. Just its price is cool. factor 4 cheaper than Nehalem 3.2Ghz Nearly factor 5. And just 200Mhz lower default clock. I'm quite disappointed by the new cpu's from intel and amd to be honest. The way these manufacturers 'fix' performance on paper is by using special testsuites. Most testsets are too L3 oriented and too much subject of optimization of compiler teams. If you have a $100 billion company and under 100 'test programs' that's what you get, then for such a huge company with such a huge compiler team it's too easy to bust everything. Current new generation cpu's are faster on paper, in reality they aren't. "paper supports everything" A $100 billion companies will bust every test and manage to manipulate in new tests with a datasize that benefits big L3's whereas in reality big L3's are just not needed for HPC. That's just total ballony for matrix calculations, CFD whatever. Either your code hardly gets inside L3, or you need that much gigabytes of RAM that L3 doesn't matter either. A few mb's is enough. 4 MB versus 16MB is no big deal simply. Only some 'chosen' working set sizes benefit to L3. A 20Ghz PhenomGAaS will of course destroy everything. As explained however, that doesn't really matter, because L3's eat relative little power compared to the execution logics, so that is a big bummer in that case. My plans for a 128 core (each core low power) multiprocessor, which allows easy porting of HPC codes to it, as i voted for say 50% of the total ram assigned to each core local through a local L2 (total not-shared with the other cores) and a very slow, possibly even off-chip L3 cache to a shared memory (the other 50% of the RAM), it got laughed away by some intel fanboys. If that's the case then intel is dead in HPC of course as nvidia and AMD will take over with GPU type supercomputers. I tend to have more faith in engineers though than the fanboys do and more than most professors are. I believe in new solutions, not in vicious circles that were the past. A manycore is really complicated to write efficient algorithms for, whereas some modified multicore type cpu, is easy to port codes to. I'd argue approaching things from software viewpoint: WHAT IS EASY TO PORT might be a rather good idea for future cpu design. If you quote now something that can run at 10x the clockspeed, then the question is of course: "suppose we would make a big building filled with GaAs processing units, at what price can you build it me and what computing power does it give at what power? If the answer is: "the building might explode with odds 1 in a million", i'm sure some governments want to take that risk if it is that much faster. See it as a feature. Ideal feature to sell to N*SA i'd argue. The amount of power it uses is quite important IMHO. Power should be ever more a bigger concern in highend HPC i feel. Right now it is paper demands from governments that just receive lied statements - i feel this is unsellable in future to government. The amount of watt a gflop matters quite a lot. If it was that easy to produce energy, we would of course already have cars on electricity or drive on water. Of course we want ECC and ECC ram on every design. Too many errors at such computing power is not acceptable.

Coming soon... Joan De Bot Joan De Bot is a Dutch artist currently living in New York. She started her career as a painter of systematical art, large canvases filled with patterns and grids. After a period of free expressionism she set out to travel, painted and exhibited landscapes and cityscapes from the places she came across underway. When she visited Australia she fell in love with the wild, seemingly systematically organized Australian landscape and modern aboriginal art. Hereby inspired, she gradually returned to a variation on the themes she had exploited before, patterns and grids. In the last couple of years she has started to make textile designs. Recently she has also started to make fashion designs.

This was only $4.99 or there abouts at the local garden store so I brought it, seems like so much plant for the money. Planted in May 2011.
It was in such an amazingly small pot and very top heavy, its a wonder it doesnt fall over.
This is growing quite well from the base.
Its definatley still alive but it looks a bit yellow like it might have too much water? Or the soil is too moist?
It was a difficult decision knowing where to plant this, so its on the edge of the hotest most exposed part of the garden. This area seems to get sunshine all day as it currently has no natural shade.
Im hoping that it doesnt attract too much attention from the local kids what with it being a cactus and all.
Not sure what to make of this but it looks ok. Its still there AND its put out two little growths at its base.

Promos are everywhere for the new fall TV shows, with their big stars (Matthew Perry, Kevin Bacon!) and amazing supporting casts (Ellen Barkin, Bill Pullman!).
But what happens when a cast isn't helping the star of the show, but instead contributing to his or her downfall? That's the story of addiction. Every addict has his or her supporting cast, each of whom unwittingly acts out an all-too familiar role in the sad drama — until something forces a change.
September is National Recovery Month, a time when we celebrate those individuals who have reclaimed their lives. I want to add to that list of reclaimed lives by encouraging anyone who may now be playing a supporting role to an addict to change the script.
But first, you have to identify the addict or dependent. The dependent is the one who uses chemical substances to cope with the daily stressors of life, despite all the negative consequences. This is the family member who creates all the chaos to which everyone else reacts to and therefore takes on a dysfunctional role of their own. They tend to have low self-esteem, yet are very self-centered.
Next, you have to recognize the part you're playing right now. Below is a list of family roles developed by acclaimed author-family therapist Sharon Wegscheider-Cruse. See if you fit any of the criteria:
• Chief Enabler: The one who must maintain control at all costs and robs the addict of experiencing the consequences of their using by constantly "rescuing" them from their problems.
• Family Hero: The go-getter who attempts to make the family look normal by over-achieving.
• Scapegoat/Rebel: The one who takes the heat off the dependent by putting the negative attention on him or herself.
• Mascot: The clown in the family who makes light of every situation.
• Lost child: Usually the youngest in the family, who has learned by watching the consequences of others that it's best to go unnoticed and to be invisible.
If you see yourself or family members in the above roles, then you've taken the first step in recognizing the need for help.
The next step may be the hardest: confronting the problem head-on. But you don't have to do it alone. Find a local substance abuse clinic or counselor and talk to them — trust me, they've seen your situation before. They can help you decide how to proceed.
And finally, for those who identified with one of the other family roles on the list, a counselor can help you too —whether the dependent gets help or not. It may be as obvious as working an Al-Anon program or it may require more in-depth counseling but the most important thing to do is act. After all, that's what a true supporting cast member does.

Rob Kardashian has some explaining to do.
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star has been charged with one count of simple battery and one count of petty theft, both misdemeanors, stemming from his run-in with a paparazzo outside a Beverly Hills gym in March, the L.A. County District Attorney's Office confirmed to E! News.
NEWS: Kanye sings to Kim at 2013 Met Gala
Kassandra Perez, who filed a civil suit against Kardashian last month, claims that he struck her when she tried to snap pictures of him in a public parking lot and made off with the memory card from her camera.
No arraignment date has been set yet.
A rep for Kardashian had no comment.

Many people have trouble with the concept of Papal Infallibility simply because they don't understand what it means, or they assume it means something it doesn't. Although Fr. Baron explains it fully in the video above from the Word On Fire's Catholicism series, I'd like to touch on a few points.
First, it's necessary to know what Infallibility (Pope-wise) doesn't mean. It doesn't mean he never sins. To never sin would be impeccability, which no Pope could claim. In fact some Popes in the Catholic Church's rich past sinned an awful lot, eg., Pope Alexander VI (Borgia), who led a rather immoral and lascivious lifestyle, and is considered by many to be the most corrupt man ever to hold the office.
What Infallibility means is that the Pope is never wrong when defining doctrine regarding faith and morals (when speaking ex cathedra). You can read a much longer definition by clicking HERE, where you will also find biblical scripture to back up the concept.
But what I do is simply look more closely at Alexander VI for proof. Because a man living such an evil life in a position of enormous power (much more so in those days) would seek to validate such lasciviousness by perverting Catholic dogma to his own selfish ends so he could live out his twisted desires openly and without scorn. So why didn't he do that? Because by virtue of his position, though God allowed him (and other Popes) free will to act badly, The Holy Spirit would not allow him to pervert doctrinal teaching on faith and morals, any more than the Pope could claim 2 + 2 = 5.

Biographical/Historical note
Roger Eliot Fry, art critic and artist, was born in London December 14, 1866. He studied science at King's College, Cambridge from 1885 to 1888 and during those years he also began to paint and to study the history of Italian painting. In 1891 he made his first trip to Italy and in 1894 he began to lecture, with great success, on the Italian Renaissance. From 1900 onwards he wrote articles and reviewed exhibitions for Athenaeum, The Monthly Review and The Burlington Magazine. He quickly earned a considerable reputation as an art scholar and expert, and in 1905 he became director of the Metropolitan Museum in New York City, a position he held until 1910. In that year, Fry arranged the first English exhibition of post-impressionist painting at the Grafton Galleries, and became a recognized advocate of modern painting. He was also an influential force in the Bloomsbury group. In 1913 he founded the Omega Workshops which made furniture, pottery, fabrics and other articles in an avant-garde style. The workshops, which closed in 1919, employed such Bloomsbury artists as Duncan Grant and Vanessa Bell, among others.
After World War I Fry focused on developing his aesthetic ideas. Between 1927 and 1934 he gave a series of highly successful lectures at the Queen's Hall in London which were sponsored by the National Art Collections Fund. He published numerous articles and books on art criticism and theory, among them Transformations and Vision and Design. In 1933 he became Slade Professor of Fine Art at Cambridge. Although Fry's paintings, chiefly landscapes, were exhibited at the New English Art Club and the Alpine Club Gallery, it was as an art critic that Fry achieved greatest importance. He died September 9, 1934 in London.

Motorcycle wheel chocks are like unknown stuntmen; they play an essential role but hardly get any credit for what they do. While motorcycle chocks are often taken for granted, their absence is definitely noticed. Anyone who has ever tried to haul a bike around without using one can swear by this.
So just what is a motorcycle chock and what do you do with it? Well, a motorcycle chock is a simple device used to help secure a motorcycle during transit, repairs or long-term storage. A motorcycle's front wheel is usually rolled into the chock so that the sides of the chock help secure it in an upright position. It is typically used in conjunction with straps or tie downs (sold separately) and, depending on the type and use of bike, may need to be mounted onto a solid surface.
While the traditional motorcycle chock helps prevent a bike from moving sideways, it suffers from allowing the bike to roll backwards and out of the chock itself. This is especially true should the straps securing the bike become loose. Traditional chocks are also somewhat difficult to use by one person as they often require someone to assist in keeping the bike in place while the straps are being connected to the bike and mounting surfaces.
Fortunately, the guys at Haul Master (distributed exclusively by Harbor Freight) a modern chock design that minimizes these problems and more. While standard chocks consist of a simple one-piece metal bracket design, the Haul Master Motorcycle Wheel Chock (SKU 96349) takes advantage of an extra pivoting bracket connected to the standard chock component. This extra pivoting bracket is lowered down to allow the motorcycle to roll into the chock more easily. Once the bike is in position, the pivoting bracket is raised up to secure the bike in an upright position. While the non-pivoting bracket provides the usual support found in regular chocks, the pivoting portion helps keep the bike from rolling out the back. Although this design provides a fairly snug and secure fit, straps are still recommended for additional safety.
The Haul Master Motorcycle Wheel Chock is one nifty little gadget. Like standard chocks, it can mount to many types of floors, truck beds or trailers. It has a 10-inch movable chock length, so whether you're into dirt bikes, sport bikes or classic cruisers, the Haul Master Motorcycle Wheel Chock can accommodate a range of motorcycle wheel sizes (but be sure to check your particular wheel size in advance). What I like about this chock is its quality for the money. It isn't very often you can find a carbon steel chock at such an affordable low price. Don't let the low price fool you though. The Haul-Master Motorcycle Wheel Chock is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for 90 days from the date of purchase.
I can honestly say the Haul Master is the best motorcycle wheel chock I have ever purchased. Whether you plan to use it for motorcycle storage, repairs or transit, this wheel chock is definitely the way to go. Harbor Freight has plenty of other great wheel and tire tools too, so check them out online or at your local store.
