On The Record
Solution providers have the advantage of understanding IT threats and should use it when appropriate as a selling technique.
Hyper-converged infrastructure and software-defined networking are changing the cloud dynamics and legitimizing the argument that on-premises may actually prove to be more cost-effective than pure public cloud deployments.
In the Tim Cook era, Apple has pivoted from a product-driven company with excellent marketing to a marketing-driven company with mediocre products.
With the pace of change in the market and the need to cut costs and drive revenue, MDF scrutiny is going to increase.
The business of selling technology is evolving so rapidly that SSPs have to invest in how they convey their brand in the market. But that proposes a legitimate question: Are you better off buying your marketing from experts or assembling an in-house team?
Strategic service providers can't afford to be viewed as old-school on-premise infrastructure players. Rebuilding the legacy brand to present a leadership player capable of bringing the customer to the new compute model is the key first step to the 'as a service' end game.
While no one expected Tim Cook to be Steve Jobs, the expectation was that he would surround himself with people who would make up for his weaknesses in the visionary areas that Jobs excelled at.
The recent news that Tech Data would acquire Avnet's Technology Solutions business comes on the heels of Ingram Micro's announced sale of its entire business to a China-based logistics conglomerate.
Five years into his reign at the helm of Apple, CEO Tim Cook and the Apple board need to start "thinking different" about the channel and the company's entire approach to the market.
Nearly a year into his role at the helm of Cisco, Chuck Robbins is proving the value of choosing a new CEO from within when it comes to a company of Cisco's size.
Partners that have a single supplier face a significant revenue risk in the event that supplier decides to sell off its data center assets to a company that is either unfriendly toward the channel or just doesn't understand it.
With news of Ingram Micro's plans to become part of China-based HNA Group comes speculation over what it means to the industry, government contracts serviced via Ingram, and to the distribution business as a whole.
The Strategic Service Provider model represents solution providers who become strategic partners to customers by recommending and implementing everything from communication providers to which application, platform and hardware providers to depend on.
The latest move to sell the Surface Pro through HP and Dell Direct sales teams, and the lack of communication from Microsoft, has left the channel wondering just what the big secret is when it comes Microsoft and its tablet?
The reality is that the cloud model, while exciting and a better place to be over the long term, is not going to be the only way to deploy IT for a very long time.
Making it happen in the channel is about relationships. It's earned through hard work, a lot of airport food and time away from home.
Channel Chiefs, the really good ones, are crucial to the success of the tech industry, and often don't get the credit they deserve.
If you are running a solution provider business today that is not driving 51 percent of profit from the service side of the house, you need to take a hard look at your business and ask how you are going to get there.
Given the amount of time people already spend staring at mobile devices, do we really need light bulbs with their own IP addresses so that we can manage them from our smartphones?
Cisco is a hardware company that is facing a software challenge as the move toward a software-defined network strikes at the heart of its business model.
Building and managing a successful IT channel is hard. Here are the top priorities partners should focus on to determine a vendor's commitment, and suppliers can use to assess their own programs.
For channel partners that represent a single vendor in the market in any technology segment, if that vendor falls into a particularly difficult situation, the partner is at risk as well.
For partners on the fence about the Meg Whitman era at HP, it's time to start feeling confident about the company's $112 billion commitment to solution providers.
When it comes to what happens in the field, solution providers need engagement with partner account managers that are focused on helping partners go to market together.
Because the technology market is continually changing, there is no perfect channel for very long. But there is a way to get very close to one, and it requires CEO leadership, a team of loyal executives that believe in the goal, and a commitment to take feedback from the field and build a business that is easier to work with.
Now comes the hard part for Michael Dell. With the yearlong battle behind him to take Dell private, the company founder now faces the biggest business challenge of his lifetime.
As the move to more toward managed services, off-premises private cloud and, ultimately, to public cloud continues, the criteria vendors will use to choose channel partners will change.
Does it make sense for solution providers to resell the Amazon cloud? Here a few important questions you have to ask in order to make the decision to put the livelihood of your customers' business on the Amazon cloud.
Unlike the Carly Fiorina and Leo Apotheker stewardships, current HP CEO Meg Whitman has the right attitude for driving channel growth.
The time is now for the channel to reap the rewards of deploying cloud services. But while the key attribute to capitalizing on past tech trends were technical skills, the future in the cloud is all about sales and marketing.

Battleground Poll: Mitt more likable
Mitt Romney is finally getting his Sally Field moment: They like him. At least more than they used to.
President Barack Obama clings to a 1 percentage-point national lead in a head-to-head matchup with the GOP nominee, but the first presidential debate has significantly improved Romney's personal image.
Story Continued Below
A new POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll of likely voters puts Obama ahead of Romney 49 percent to 48 percent, a statistical tie and the same as the week before. Across the 10 states identified by POLITICO as competitive, Romney leads 50 percent to 48 percent.
Even as the head-to-head number held stubbornly steady for the past month, Romney improved his likability numbers. A slim majority, 51 percent, now views Romney favorably as a person, while 44 percent views him unfavorably.
The former Massachusetts governor had been underwater on this measure. In mid-September, 49 percent of respondents viewed him unfavorably. Going into the first presidential debate in Denver on Oct. 3, the electorate was evenly split 47 percent to 47 percent on what to make of Romney.
On the generic congressional ballot, Democrats continue to hold a 2 percentage-point edge, 46 percent to 44 percent, over Republicans.
POLITICO considers the 10 competitive battlegrounds to be Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Obama's enduring personal popularity has been a key reason for his political resiliency. But Obama and Romney are now essentially tied on likability: 53 percent of those surveyed have a positive impression of Obama personally, and 45 percent do not. The same percentage view both Romney and Obama strongly favorably as view them strongly unfavorably.
The Obama campaign outspent Romney on TV through the summer in an effort to define the challenger as a heartless corporate raider. The president's super PAC, Priorities USA Action, even tried to link a woman's death to Romney's tenure at Bain Capital in one memorable attack ad that Romney hotly disputed.
Republican pollster Ed Goeas of The Tarrance Group, who helped conduct the bipartisan poll, argued that Romney's strong debate performance and Romney finally matching Obama on television spending in the swing states has erased the months of negative advertising.
"For the first time, those things that Obama had been saying were called to task," Goeas said Sunday. "All those millions of dollars in efforts to demonize Mitt Romney disappeared overnight. That's the impact of the debate."
Of the 86 percent of voters who said they watched the first debate or saw coverage of it, three in four declared Romney the winner. Only 16 percent thought Obama prevailed. One in three voters said the debate made them more likely to vote for Romney, but 52 percent said it made no difference.

I admit it… I am a nitpicker! I mean, I am now. I didn't used to be.
My kids had lice several years ago and after trying unsuccessfully to get rid of it myself, I called Lice Happens. They calmed me down over the phone and were able to fit me in the next day to accommodate my schedule. I was delighted when they didn't show up with a huge rotating louse on the top of the car or t-shirts that said LICE HAPPENS as they strolled up my walkway- very discreet!
I was amazed by the process, the education, the hands-on training, and even the laughter throughout the visit. Consequently, I found myself actually enjoying picking through my girl's hair on a regular basis.
Recently I thought to myself, "hmmm… maybe I could put my picking habit into good use by helping other families?" So, here I am, a thoroughly trained and certified Lice Treatment Specialist and subject matter expert. Come to think of it, that makes me more than a nitpicker – and I'm proud of it!

Former Indian captains Dilip Vengsarkar and Ajit Wadekar batted for current skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni who has been facing a lot of criticism of late for the cricket team's failures.
"At the moment Dhoni is the only one in form. He should continue... India do not have an option," Vengsarkar said after reaching Bhubaneshwar along with Ajit Wadekar to attend the golden jubilee celebration of a city-based sports club.
On the performance of Pakistan, Vengsarkar said, "Pakistan played extremely well. I think they played better in all departments of the game."
"India need to improve a lot as the coming matches with England are very important," the batsman of yesteryears added.
Terming India coach Duncan Fletcher as "less than average", he said the team has been losing ever since the Zimbabwean took over.
Vengsarkar, former chairman of the selection committee, also held excess cricket as one of the factors responsible for the recent failures of India.
"Excess of matches like World Cup, Tests, ODIs and T20s is responsible to a certain extent," he said.
Wadekar also praised Dhoni for his performance.
"He has been responsible for victory of Team India on many occasions," Wadekar said.

Winter Market - design of the wooden trade hall in the changing environment of western Helsinki
Galecki, Jan
Permanent address of the item is
Summary ViewShow full item record
I designed the Winter Market having citizens of the city and tourists in mind. I thought of a public space being vibrant with life all year round. Hietalahdentori Square is occupied in hot season and it is an active flea market in the summertime. In winter, however, this activity declines due to severe climate conditions. Designing the wooden market for the citizens of the west part of Helsinki, I hoped to enrich the trading offer of Hietalahdentori Square by additional services such as selling fresh, healthy food. Marketing idea – the Winter Market is a place where fresh, healthy food can be bought or where one can make use of the restaurant services. The main purpose of the Market is a quick sale of the short expiry date products, which are so needed in Scandinavian countries. I decided to use wood for constructions and details of the project. Wood is a national building material of Finns; both small-scale architecture and public buildings are created with its use. The quality of wooden architecture in Finland is regarded as one of the best all over the world. Another reason why I chose to use wood is the fact that wooden minimalistic pavilion of the Winter Market will be a wonderful supplement to the composition created by the industrial port architecture and antique buildings surrounding Hietalahdentori Square. Architecture of the Winter Market is transparent, classical and full of light both in summer and in winter. The advantage of a transparent building is the fact guests are interested in the goods inside while passing it. Thus, there appears a close interaction between the interior and exterior. While designing the Market I thought of both making use of the smallest area of the square and leaving the view from the square towards the port open. To compensate for building up a part of the square, I would like to underline that is a part for a parking lot now. Thus, the Winter Market takes the present parking space and a new parking lot is placed underground. The design is supposed to be the landmark of the west port of Helsinki The Winter Market has a great chance to dominate the area as it is located at the closure of two important streets leading to the centre of Helsinki. It is also visible from the west port, where ferries from European countries arrive. /Kir10

Laurence Gardner 1943 - 2010
Laurence Gardner was a prominent author and speaker in the alternative history genre of research and writing, whose published works presented often controversial revisionist theories, challenging orthodox views of world history.
Based in England, Laurence's writing career began in 1996 with Bloodline of the Holy Grail, which achieved international success with top-10 listing in The Sunday Times bestsellers chart. This was followed by Genesis of the Grail Kings (1999), Realm of the Ring Lords (2001), Lost Secrets of the Sacred Ark (2003), The Magdalene Legacy (2005), The Shadow of Solomon (2006) and The Grail Enigma (2008).
Following a long illness, Laurence died on Thursday 12th August 2010 leaving two completed new books - The Origin of God and Revelation of the Devil. During this period of deteriorating health, Laurence relinquished all work other than the completion of these two books. As he was unable to give talks about their subject matter, his good friend and colleague Edmund Marriage Principal of the Patrick Foundation, has agreed to be Laurence's spokesperson, representing him in interviews. Edmund, was a frequent visitor to Laurence's home where they would discuss Laurence's latest books and the work of Christian and Barbara Joy O'Brien, whose pre-eminent research in their books The Shining Ones and The Genius of the Few helped facilitate Laurence's work.
From 1998 until 2010, Laurence Gardner was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, a charitable body which promotes the study of the antiquities and history of Scotland, through archaeological research.
In the artistic domain, Laurence was a Conservation Consultant to Britain's Fine Art Trade Guild and in the world of music and performing arts, his libretto compositions such as The Marriage at Cana have been performed at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. His writing career included collaborative projects with national institutions such as the British Tourist Association, the National Parks Authority, The Queen's Bays Regimental Museum, the Government of Ontario and the Russian Ministry of Culture.

A Columbia educator turned entrepreneur says her strawberry cheesecake cookies truly are divine.
They're chewy and pink and tangy on the tongue. The right balance of sugar, flour and time in the mixer came to her during a week-long fast, a way for her to show her appreciation for God's blessings during a year of trials and triumphs.
Her name is Monica Williams. The 43-year-old single mother of three lost her job as a private school principal last year. With it she lost her $82,500 annual income and went on unemployment. With that came all of the cut-backs and late bill payments that have become common in post-Great Recession America.
Then she joined the growing ranks of people who, after a job loss, decided to try to be their own employer.
Six years ago, only about one in 10 people who started a company did so because they found themselves unemployed. But by 2011, when Williams began her cookie and brownie operation called From Momma's Kitchen, that number had nearly doubled, according to a survey of small-business owners conducted by Wave Accounting.
"When you're laying on the ground and you have seeds in your hand — of anything within you — that's when you plant them," Williams said.
Talent and drive have been the tools of her transition from educator to business owner. But even with her strong religious beliefs, Williams' evolution has been tough. Like nearly half of small-business owners, according to Wave Accounting's summer 2012 survey, she's barely making ends meet.
Still, Williams doesn't regret her decision to rely on her flair for baking and, more importantly, her faith.
Inspiration arrives
In January 2011, at the time of her first week-long, water-only fast, Williams, was about six months into a stint as principal of Celebration Christian Academy in Columbia.
"Every morning she was out shaking hands, meeting parents," said Paul Haley, director of operations for Celebration during Williams' time as principal. "The parents loved her. The teachers were empowered to be better."
She started at Celebration during difficult times, following an exodus of students caused by the prior principal's departure and tuition increases. When Williams arrived, only 17 students remained on the roster, well under a third of the school's target number, she said.
She launched an aggressive marketing campaign and, by the time school started, the administration had added 30 more youngsters to the rolls.
"It was just pretty amazing what she did for the academy," Haley said. She brought a new level of expertise to the school, he said, because of her prior 15 years in Howard County Public School classrooms.
It was in the midst of this challenging school year that Williams decided to try an extended fast. On the fourth day, an insistent voice became stuck in Williams' head.
"I got this recurring thought to get up and go make brownies," she said. "It became an urge that I couldn't control to the point where I had tears streaming down my face."
She fought it. She went to bed and tried to sleep away thoughts of brownies baking in the oven. But the urge became too great and Williams went down to the kitchen in the middle of the night.
She whipped up a batch of the chewy treats and packed them up.
She did not eat a crumb.
Opportunity arises
In April, Williams was let go. The academy did not have the money to keep paying her and several others.
The layoff came as a shock. So did her unexpected need to apply for unemployment.
As a single-income household — Williams divorced her children's father in 2004 and does not receive child support — Williams needed government assistance to stay afloat.
To make ends meet, she cut movie nights and dining out for her and her children. They spent more time around the dinner table.
"I learned how to live off a quarter of my salary," Williams said. "I realized I didn't need as much as I was buying or getting, even for my children. It made them feel less entitled to privileges. It taught them how to appreciate them."
After the shock wore off, Williams began seeing her situation differently. Her job loss was an opportunity. She decided to follow her calling; to plant her seeds while she was down.
Even before she was fired, Williams began pursuing her baking in a more serious way. In February, not long after her fast-induced, late-night brownie baking, she took part in the Chocolate Affair fundraiser, organized by Baltimore nonprofit Healthcare for the Homeless. She made 800 samples of her brownies for the event.
The next month, Williams baked for a church convention. On a day off from her full-time job, she worked from sun-up until midnight, baking furiously to ready all of the batches she would need.
"When I turned the oven off that night, I stood there and I said, 'I'm tired but, man, if I could just do this all day I would be so happy,'" Williams said.
It wasn't even two weeks later that she lost her job.
Williams threw herself into baking and learning how to start her own company. She took a ServSafe food handler certification class and enrolled in classes at a Baltimore nonprofit, where she learned how to craft a business plan.
"For her, it was a life change. Not just a career change," said Ann Mitchell-Sackey, Williams' instructor at Women Entrepreneurs of Baltimore Inc.
About one-third of the people she mentors in entrepreneurship, Mitchell-Sackey said, are trying to launch food-related businesses. But Williams stood out, she said.
"She never went anywhere without having samples of her product," Mitchell-Sackey said. "She was her business."
Expanding recipe box
Last January, Williams decided to fast again, because she had "been so moved by how God led the business" during the prior year, she said.
"This particular time, on the fourth day again of my water fast — where I can't eat anything — I woke up in the middle of the night and every ingredient I needed to make this strawberry cheesecake cookie that I really, really had been trying to fathom in my head came to me," Williams said.
It was "almost a conversation," she said. Someone was telling her which ingredients she needed to achieve this cookie, she said. She wrote everything down, then headed to the grocery store the next morning to follow the instructions.
Not only did the recipe work, it spawned a whole new branch of cookies. She began drawing up cookie recipes that mimicked gourmet desserts: lemon custard, key lime pie and red velvet cake among them.
"She's putting her whole life into these cookies," said the Rev. Dave Whye, Williams' uncle and her pastor at Shepherd's Life Church of God in Ellicott City.
Williams doesn't have good credit, so she's had to forge her way without a small business loan. She relied on savings, friends and family for start-up costs and still is getting assistance from loved ones, she said.
"My lights are still on, my mortgage is still paid," Williams said. "I don't really need to do anything except what He says every day to do."
Her erratic income is a far cry from her principal's salary of 80 grand. This summer, before she started selling in a retail outlet, she made as little as $2,000 a month.
And everything she makes goes back into the business — for ingredients, for rent and to pay for utilities to keep the ovens going: "You literally turn around everything that comes in," she said.
Beginning in September, Williams started renting space at Cooks 'N Cakes in Ellicott City, where her brownies and cookies are featured alongside the owner's specialty cakes and gourmet cupcakes.
Williams also sells her batches through a website and sets up a booth at events to get her company's name out there.
To staff her vending booth at events she relies on volunteers — "church ladies." She pays them with cookies or brownies that were left in the oven a minute or two too long. She's a long way, she said, from having paid staff.
She has a timeline in her head for her business. She wants to give herself at least another 18 months to make it profitable. Her ultimate goal is to have her own bakery, where people can eat her cookies straight from the oven.
Williams doesn't know if any of that will come to fruition. Only about half of small businesses survive past five years, a figure that has remained steady since at least the mid-1990s, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.
But she's not worried, she said: She can only try her hardest, follow her spiritual guide and get joy when she sees people eat her treats "and literally roll their eyes up into the back of their head at the taste."

Tests Tests and more Tests DNA of course
I have had several tests carried out, Y-DNA was the first one to
25 markers, then increased to 37 markers and final markers tested to
67 markers. I have also had a mtChondrial test, yes men can have those done also. I then had a Family Finder Test carried out,
both men and ladies can have this test. I have several other family names who have a similar Y-DNA to me, which means I and the other person have a Common Ancestor or ancestor's some dating back
25 generations. The Family Finder test, which can determin up to
6th distant cousins, is a fairly new way of finding your relations.
I have some 50 cousins according to Family Finder from Family Tree DNA. com. Now the fun starts finding out just how we are
related. I have proved only two so far, back to my mothers side
in the early 1800s. It is just another tool to use in this difficult path of genealogy. But gratifying.
Good luck with your research.

According to Beyoncé's song "Me, Myself & I," this is how the pop star deals with a breakup: "I realized I got/ Me, myself and I/ That's all I got in the end/ That's what I found out/ Ain't no need to cry/ I took a vow that from now on/ I'm gonna be my own best friend."
Samantha "Sam" Irby, a writer, Beyoncé superfan and creator of the popular blog "Bitches Gotta Eat," said she tries to handle the end of relationships similarly, but with one exception: She gets angry and/or depressed before she comes to terms with her situation.
"I would like to think that (Beyoncé's song describes) how I am, but it usually takes me a while to get there," Irby said. "I usually want to burn their house down and then I eventually get to the point where I am like OK, it's cool. It's just me and it's cool."
In many ways, Irby burns her own house down in her new essay collection, "Meaty," published this month by Chicago-based Curbside Splendor. Fans of her hilariously candid and irreverent blog will find plenty of her usual pieces on relationships gone sour, men behaving badly and poop, the latter an emphasis because of her Crohn's disease.
On the other hand, longtime readers will be surprised to find poignant stories of her painful childhood growing up poor in Evanston; her strained, sporadic communications with her alcoholic father, Samuel; and her extremely loving yet complicated relationship with her mother, Grace. Irby, 33, the front-desk manager at an Evanston animal hospital, lost both of her parents when she was a freshman at Northern Illinois University.
The book's combination of emotional prose and Irby's usual joke-filled, R-rated rantings mirrors her multifaceted life. The stories are marked by a deep appreciation for her roots and an eyes-wide-open, comedic outlook on life, which is best encapsulated by her blog's tag line, "Tacos. Hot dudes. Diarrhea. Jams."
"You know what?" Irby said, laughing, after ordering iced tea at Metropolis Coffee. "I don't eat that many (expletive) tacos. … The best food ever is ice cream, but it is not cool to say that ice cream is the best food ever because that is such a sad fat-girl thing to say."
Irby has emphasized diet and her weight in her writing ever since she started her blog on MySpace in 2009. She said "Bitches Gotta Eat" began as a response to a lot of other bloggers writing as if their lives were "Sex and the City." She wanted to tell stories for the majority of women, whose experiences were not Carrie-perfect.
"I know a lot of people who are not getting called back (for dates) and sitting in bed eating chicken wings, and I am going to write this for them," she said, explaining the blog's mission.
She also started it to impress a guy.
"It's funny because people are like 'Why did you start your blog?' and it really was to bang some dude," she said. "I think I still write it to hopefully bang some dudes. When I started the blog, this dude was seeing a woman who was a writer ... and he would always tell me about her and I thought, man, I can write, so I started this blog to be like, look at me, I am funny and interesting. They broke up, we hooked up. We aren't friends anymore, but at least I got the blog out of it."
Irby makes an immediate impression with her frankness. She lets opinions and four-letter words fly and doesn't seem to care what anyone thinks. At the same time, she has a way of putting her company — and especially her readers — at ease.
"I (love) how unabashedly honest and open she is," Mariyam Hussain, a reader of the blog, wrote in an email. "Most people hide (especially in social media) who they really are, instead presenting an advertisement of who they want to be. Sam doesn't sugarcoat who she is to get fans, boyfriends, friends. And that is extremely liberating to read."
Hot dudes
Moving her hand through the air, Irby creates an imaginary scale as she remarks that her blog, and by extension her book, is for women, gay men, cats and straight men, in that order.
"Men can enjoy it, but they can't laugh too hard," she said, "like some of this s--- is not for you, sir. It is for us ... I want to make women laugh. I want to make women feel less alone."
In a recent blog post, Irby wrote about why she hasn't had sex for about a year, marking what she called her "celi-bration." Readers flooded her inbox with "me too, girl" exclamations and "thank you so much for writing about this" stories.
Irby said she regularly receives emails from readers who say it's nice to know someone else is going through the same thing.
Lisa Nohner can relate.
"Beneath the hilarious (and sometimes tragic) gut busting comedic voice that is 'Bitches Gotta Eat' lies a brilliantly observant woman whose struggle with love, relationships, games and property are familiar to us all," Nohner, a fan and a creative writing instructor at New Mexico State University, wrote in an email. "I love her work because she's not afraid to say what me and my fellow chronically single cohorts can't: No one cares about your baby's Instagrams."
Keith Ecker, Irby's co-host of the reading series Guts & Glory, takes issue with the idea that the blog is for women, citing themes in which both genders can find some connection.
"Whether we have two X chromosomes or an X and a Y, we're all human beings," Ecker wrote in an email. "We all know what it's like to have a bad date, to be lonely, to feel slighted, to be the odd duck, to (poop) on ourselves literally and figuratively."
When Irby set out to write her book, which includes almost entirely new essays, she said she wanted to make "poop-sized" chapters.
"So you can leave it in the bathroom and read it every time you take a dump, and one day you just finish the book," she said.
Irby's discussion of poop transcends scatological humor. Her serious case of Crohn's disease often leaves her feeling like a car is driving through her mid-section. She said it sometimes gets so bad she wears pads in case of accidents.
As with so many comedians, her humor comes from pain.
Some of the essays in "Meaty" confront the more difficult times of her life head-on. In a piece titled "The Triplets," Irby describes finding herself living in a crack house at 19, while in the chapter, "My Mother, My Daughter," Irby recalls becoming her mother's caretaker at age 9, after her mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and sustained a major brain injury during a car accident.
"I don't feel like my blog is a place where I want to get too morose and sad, and so I thought the book was the place to explore some of that stuff and give people this other side of me," Irby said. "I wanted to show people that I have had experiences that deserve more careful handling (than in my blog)."
Meaty "is different from her blog in that she shares in a different way," wrote Keila Miranda, an assistant at Mark Music and Media Law in Los Angeles and a reader of the blog, in an email. "I really hate myself for using the word 'brave,' but she shares in a brave way … but while still being real and funny and not precious. I cried the whole time I read the chapter about her mom, and had to put it down for day or two because it really affected me."
In the early days of "Bitches Gotta Eat," Irby often posted playlists of jams (songs) to go with her posts. (Irby said she liked MySpace because of the ability to have a song playing when a visitor clicked on her profile.) Among her favorite artists are Beyoncé, Tori Amos, Ani DiFranco and Liz Phair. "I am really into strong chicks," she said.
"I'm always listening to music, especially when I write," she said. "And sometimes you just need to lay in bed and cry to a James Blake song, you know? It's therapeutic."
For some readers, Irby's blog is equally therapeutic. Hussain talked about the "universality" of her writing. Nohner connected with her candor, and Miranda pointed out passages that spoke to her.
"People live in fear that if anyone got to know the real them, the weird, secret them, with all their awkwardness, insecurities, weird personal habits, that they'd be horribly rejected and shunned from society," Robyn Pennacchia, host of the recently ended reading series Sunday Night Sex Show, wrote in an email. "Sam throws everything on the table, and people love her for that because they wish they could be that fearless, and because she gives them hope that they could do the same thing and still be loved."
In the end, Irby is never really alone — a lot of (rhymes with britches) gotta eat.

PHILADELPHIA — Tony Wroten gave the 76ers something Saturday night that they hadn't experienced since January: hope.
By the time the second-year guard dumped in a fast-break slam, the Sixers had wiped out a once-double-digit deficit against Utah. And with 2:43 to go, Wroten and the Sixers had a chance — really — at their first victory in their last 16 games.
Then, hope vanished. And so did the Sixers' prospects for a win.
The Sixers missed their final seven shots, falling to the Jazz, 104-92, and extending their season-long losing streak to 16 games. After Wroten's dunk, Utah outscored the Sixers, 13-1, to close the game.
"We missed some shots and they converted down the stretch," said the Sixers' Michael Carter-Williams. "If we're going to win games that are close, we have to convert. I think that's the best way to put it."
Wroten's game-best 30 points were a career-high for him, as well. He shot 12-for-15 from the floor, trying to keep the Sixers in the game against their fellow draft lottery ticket-holders. Utah (22-41) got 22 points from Gordon Hayward, including eight in the final minute of the game, and Derrick Favors paired 15 points with 13 rebounds.
For dubious reasons, these Sixers have etched their names into the club's record book. Without a win at home since Jan. 15, they've gone 0-13 in the last eight weeks. That sets the franchise's single-season record for consecutive home losses.
"It's been my biggest fear, is the word I'll use, is that you lose the group because of the situation," said Sixers coach Brett Brown. "And then they look at you differently, and you look at them a bit differently. … It does scare me, but it's not something I think is going to creep in."
The odds on paper appeared to be in the Sixers' favor. Not even against the worn-down, travel-weary Jazz, though, could they steal a victory.
The Jazz came into this one on a five-game losing streak on a road trip that ended Saturday. Adding to the Jazz's woes, they were coming off a 17-point beatdown a night earlier at New York. And in the backend of back-to-back games, Utah had won only five times in 17 instances.
So, yeah, this one was on a silver platter for the Sixers (15-47).
"When you lose that many in a row, you want it to end bad," Wroten said. "We definitely felt like that was the game."
Thaddeus Young hit back-to-back buckets with five minutes left in the fourth quarter to close the Sixers' deficit to two points, at 88-86. Two possessions later, a backcourt steal turned into a two-handed flush from Wroten. And just like that, the Sixers' 11-point deficit had been reduced to zero. Alec Burks hit a corner three and the Jazz were in control.
In the final minute, the Sixers still had life. Then they missed seven straight shots.
Suddenly, the game was out of reach. Much like the 15 that directly preceded it.
"It sounds perhaps a bit trivial or maybe even a bit corny. I think they deserve it," Brown said of ending their skid. "… I'd like them to be rewarded for their efforts."


text: Urologic Oncology Glossary of Terms Active surveillance: Instead of active treatment for prostate cancer, the doctor may suggest close monitoring. This may be a reasonable choice for older men with small tumors that might grow very slowly. If the situation changes, active treatment can be started. Also called expectant management, watchful waiting, expectancy or observation. Adjuvant therapy: Treatment used in addition to the main treatment. It usually refers to hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or radiation added after surgery to increase the chances of curing the disease or keeping it in check. Alkaline phosphatase: An enzyme made by cells in the bones and liver. Levels of alkaline phosphatase in the blood often go up in men whose prostate cancer has spread to the bones or liver. Androgen: Any male sex hormone. The major androgen is testosterone. Androgen deprivation: The use of drugs to disrupt the actions of male hormones. See also hormone therapy. Androgen-independent cancers: Prostate cancers that do not respond to hormone therapy. Often prostate cancers respond to hormone therapy for a few years before becoming androgen independent. Less often, prostate cancers may be androgen independent at the time they are diagnosed. Prostate cancer that starts off being androgen independent may be a different kind of prostate cancer called small cell or neuroendocrine. Antiandrogens: Drugs that block the body's ability to use androgens. Several drugs of this type are currently available: flutamide (Eulexin), bicalutamide (Casodex), and nilutamide (Nilandron), which are taken as pills, once or three times a day. Antiandrogens are usually used combination with orchiectomy or LHRH analogs. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): Noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that may cause problems with urination such as trouble starting and stopping the flow. Bicalutamide: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called anti-androgens. Biopsy: The removal of a sample of tissue to see whether cancer cells are present. Bone scan: A specialized nuclear medicine study that allows one to detect changes in the bone that may be related to metastatic prostate cancer. Brachytherapy: Internal radiation treatment given by placing radioactive material directly into the tumor or close to it. Also called interstitial radiation therapy or seed implantation. Castration: Surgery to remove the testicles; the medical term is orchiectomy. Catheter (urinary): A thin, flexible tube through which fluids enter or leave the body; for example, a tube to drain urine. Chemotherapy: Treatment with drugs to destroy cancer cells. Clinical stage: Describes the extent of cancer present based on results of diagnostic tests and the physical examination. Clinical trials: Studies of promising new or experimental treatments in patients. Clinical trials are only done when there is some reason to believe that the treatment being studied may be valuable to the patient. Combination hormone therapy: Complete blockage of androgen production that may include orchiectomy (castration) or LHRH analogs, plus the use of antiandrogens; also called combined androgen blockade, total hormonal ablation, total androgen blockade or total androgen ablation. Cryotherapy: Therapy in which the prostate gland is frozen to destroy the cancer cells. Digital rectal examination (DRE): An examination in which a doctor inserts a lubricated, gloved finger into the rectum to feel for abnormalities in the prostate gland. Early detection: Finding the disease at an early stage, before it has grown large or spread to other sites. Many forms of cancer can reach an advanced stage without causing symptoms. A PSA blood test can help to find early prostate cancer. External beam radiation: A form of treatment in which radiation is focused from a source outside the body on the area affected by the cancer. It is much like getting a diagnostic X-ray, but for a longer time. Finasteride: A drug used to reduce the amount of male hormone (testosterone) produced by the body. Flutamide: An anticancer drug that belongs to the family of drugs called anti-androgens. Gleason grade: A method of classifying how cells appear in cancerous tissues, the less the cancerous cells resemble normal cells, the more malignant the cancer. Two numbers, each from 1 to 5, are assigned to the two most predominant types of cells present. These two numbers are added together to produce a Gleason score between 2 and 10. Higher numbers indicate more aggressive cancers. Hormone refractory: Resistant to hormone therapy. Hormonal therapy: Treatment to kill cancer cells or slow their growth by removing, blocking or adding hormones. In prostate cancer treatment, hormone therapy is sometimes called androgen deprivation. Hyperplasia: Too much growth of cells or tissue in a specific area, such as the lining of the prostate; see also benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Impotence: Inability to have an erection adequate for sexual intercourse. Also called erectile dysfunction. Incontinence, urinary: The inability to control the flow of urine from the bladder. Kegel exercises: Exercises that help one strengthen muscles that aid in the control of urinary incontinence. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH): Hormone produced by the hypothalamus, a tiny gland in the brain, which indirectly affects testosterone levels. LHRH analogs: Synthetically made hormones, chemically similar to LHRH. They block the production of the male hormone testosterone. Also called LHRH agonists. LHRH antagonists: Drugs that block the release of hormones that stimulate testosterone production from the pituitary gland. Luteinizing hormone: Pituitary hormone that stimulates the testicles too produce testosterone. Lymph node: A rounded mass of lymphatic tissue found throughout the body. Lymph fluid passes through the lymph nodes, which filter out bacteria, cancer cells and toxic chemicals. Lymph node dissection: In the case of prostate cancer, pelvic lymph node dissection, which is the surgical removal of the lymph nodes in the pelvis to determine if prostate cancer has spread outside of the prostate gland. Metastasis: The spread of cancer cells to distant areas of the body by way of the lymph system or bloodstream. Neuroendocrine prostate cancer: An uncommon cancer that arises from a specialized cell in the prostate gland called neuroendocrine. Some of these cancers are referred to as small cell cancer. Nomogram: With regard to prostate cancer, these are tables, based on a large group of previous cases, used to predict the likelihood that cancer has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs. It takes into account the clinical stage and Gleason score of a man's cancer, as well as the PSA level. Orchiectomy: Surgery to remove the testicles; castration. Pathological stage: Describes the extent of cancer present based on surgical removal and examination of tissue. Prognosis: A prediction of the course of disease; the outlook for the chances of survival. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA): A protein made by the prostate gland. Levels of PSA in the blood often go up in men with prostate cancer but may increase because of some non-cancerous conditions as well. The PSA test is used to help find prostate cancer, as well as to monitor the results of treatment. Prostatitis: Inflammation of the prostate. Prostatitis is not cancer. Radical prostatectomy: Surgery to remove the entire prostate gland, the seminal vesicles and nearby tissue. Seminal vesicles: Two small sacs next to the prostate that store semen. Small cell prostate cancer: An uncommon form of prostate cancer. See also neuroendocrine prostate cancer. Testicles: The male reproductive glands found in the scrotum. The testes (or testicles) produce sperm and the male hormone testosterone. Testosterone: The main male hormone, made primarily in the testes. It stimulates blood flow, growth of certain tissues, and the secondary sexual characteristics. In men with prostate cancer, it can also encourage growth of the tumor. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP): This operation removes part of the prostate gland that surrounds the urethra (the tube through which urine exits the bladder). This operation can be used to relieve symptoms caused by a tumor before other treatments begin. But it is not expected to cure this disease or remove all of the cancer. It is used even more often to relieve symptoms of non-cancerous prostate enlargement. Tumor flare: Temporary growth of a prostate tumor, sometimes seen in men who are treated with an LHRH agonist alone, which is due to the brief rise in testosterone levels after starting therapy. It can cause pain, especially if cancer has already spread to the bones. It is often a few weeks before testosterone levels begin to fall. Taking an antiandrogen for the first few weeks of hormone therapy may prevent tumor flare. Urologist: A doctor who specializes in treating problems of the urinary tract in men and women, and of the genital area in men. Urologists often perform surgery as well. Watchful waiting: See active surveillance.

Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliance captured in amazing flickbook video
As one of world football's greatest superstars Cristiano Ronaldo is used to being under the spotlight of a million cameras and having journalists follow his every move.
Indeed, in this social-media age, there isn't a medium where you won't be able to find pictures, audio or video of the Portuguese superstar.
Well YouTube user "etoilec1" has come up with a novel way to capture the flying winger in all his glory – through the medium of flick book.
You may remember a few months ago we bought you a video of Ronaldinho being given the flick book treatment – that video was watched by over 2 million people - now it's the turn of Ronaldo.
Pictured in both his Real Madrid and Manchester United kits, the pain-staking detail that goes into recreating some of Ronaldo's signature moves is remarkable.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Autopsies are expected for two firefighters killed Sunday while battling a blaze at an apartment complex in northwest Ohio.
A Lucas County deputy coroner told The Blade in Toledo (http://bit.ly/L1L7t6 ) the autopsies were scheduled for Monday.
Toledo's fire chief says 42-year-old Stephen Machcinski and 31-year-old James Dickman were killed Sunday while fighting the fire in a six-unit building near downtown. He says they were injured inside the building, and fellow firefighters made "valiant efforts" to remove and try to save them.
Machcinski had been a firefighter for 16 years. Dickman was on the job only six months.
The mayor asked that flags be flown at half-staff Monday to honor them.
The newspaper says the last time a Toledo firefighter was killed in an active blaze was 1981.

As a work at home mom, your earnings most likely go toward making ends meet and providing extra necessities for your family. Although you may skimp, save, and sacrifice in most areas of your life, studies have shown that being a little selfish as a new WAHM can actually pay off in the long run.
With small children running around, it's especially important for WAHMs to facilitate a productive work environment to properly balance both of your responsibilities.

Dip in a lip.
That's the image that greeted me when I recently turned into a postseason thriller.
And spit.
A single close-up from the camera revealed the unmistakable tobacco bulge. A multitude of others also witnessed the brown stain on the lip. I think its time to curb these images, as MLB needs to ban the on-field usage of tobacco.
According to one study, around a third of MLB players use smokeless tobacco, and a fourth of minor leaguers use the substance. In my estimation, the true numbers are probably higher. Tobacco is legal and athletes are grown men, but a ban has nothing to do with them, even though tobacco cessation would obviously be beneficial to individuals. Instead a ban focuses on young eyes.
Research shows that teens increased their smokeless tobacco usage in recent years. Like it or not, athletes are role models (sorry, Charles Barkley), as kids emulate them. Athletes today enjoy greater exposure than ever. Consequently, their tobacco usage gains more exposure. The World Series averaged 19.4 million viewers in 2009. Though World Series ratings were lower this year, overall playoff ratings were strong. And the Internet offers seemingly endless possibilities for exposure.
Some experts think this exposure has contributed to the increase in smokeless tobacco usage by teens. Despite smoking percentages decreasing, it seems "dip in a lip" is making a strong comeback.
This is worrisome. Though less likely to cause death than cigarettes, smokeless tobacco contains 28 different carcinogens linked to numerous varieties of cancer. If you've ever seen a picture of a guy without a jawbone, you've seen its nasty capabilities.
I must admit that I am not without fault. Though never a frequent user, I tried the distasteful substance during my playing days. As a minor leaguer, my behavior broke the rules, as minor league baseball banned the usage of tobacco products in 1993.
Currently, the minor leagues impose a $500 fine for a player caught with tobacco and a $500 fine for the team's manager. These fines, in comparison to minor league salaries, are exorbitant. One would think that they would sufficiently deter players from using. Yet they don't.
Research shows that the likelihood of being caught is more important than the severity of punishment in deterring undesirable actions. Since very few players are ever actually caught using tobacco despite overt usage, the severe fines for minor leaguers have little deterrent effect. A system of lower fines with actual enforcement would more effectively reduce on-field tobacco usage.
Major League Baseball, as opposed to the minors, doesn't even have a ban on tobacco usage. Players can pack an entire can of dip in their mouth and walk up to the plate with spit spilling down their chin if they so desire. No one will stop them, and millions of kids—future possible tobacco users—will witness it.
This use should be prohibited during games. MLB and the player's union should work together on this issue and take a sensible approach: ban on-field usage of tobacco, implement a system of reasonable punishments, and actually enforce the ban with regularity.
Players will no doubt balk at such a move as an infringement upon their liberties, but if such a ban spares lives and jaws, then the policy would be worthwhile.

Well, Enigform can send your public key to the remote server automatically (well, at least *MY* version does, the public release will have a wizard/submenu/somethinglikethat) and mod_auth_openpgp can import it automatically
The method for key import is triggered when a POST request for /HTTP_OPENPGP_IMPORTKEY is received. Of course, the post payload is the ascii-armored public key. I've thought of using the binary one, but ascii is better for debugging.
The next step is to implement encryption/decryption, server-side signed responses, and port mod_ssl's passphrase handling features into m_a_o.
The other news is that Dinis Cruz told me today that the latest developments, which I reported to him directly, enable me to receive 50% of the OWASP Sponsorship money

Come on Spring!
Monday, March 2, 2009
It's March 2nd and here in Maryland we got slammed with a Nor'easter which dumped about 5-6 inches of snow in my area.
And I don't drive in the snow.
Schools were closed today so I stayed home too.
And I don't drive in the snow.
Sorry. That's just the way it is.
So now the snow has stopped but it's about 11 degrees outside right now (which means it's probably 50 degrees in my house!) and we have a wind chill advisory in effect. I'm FREEZING!!
And I'm not happy about it.
I was born in July, so snow & I have never gotten along. I really need (and want!) to move to Arizona but first I'll head to Washington to be with family. Maybe I will retire in AZ. All I know is it won't be anywhere cold!
Come on Spring!

Common Cold
If you are reading this because you have developed cold symptoms, it is critical that you act quickly to halt the rapid replication of viruses occurring in your body at this very moment. Go to the nearest health food store or pharmacy and purchase:
- Zinc Lozenges: Completely dissolve in mouth one lozenge containing 18.75 mg of zinc acetate every two waking hours. Do not exceed 8 lozenges daily, and do not use for more than three consecutive days.
- Garlic: Take 9000-18,000 mg of a high-allicin garlic supplement each day until symptoms subside. Take with food to minimize stomach irritation.
- Vitamin D: If you don't already maintain a blood level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D over 50 ng/mL, then take 50,000 IU of vitamin D the first day and continue for three more days and slowly reduce the dose to around 5000 IU of vitamin D each day. If you already take around 5000 IU of vitamin D every day, then you probably don't need to increase your intake.
- Cimetidine: Take 800-1200 mg a day in divided doses. Cimetidine is a heartburn drug that has potent immune enhancing properties. (It is sold in pharmacies over-the-counter.)
- Melatonin: 3 to 50 mg at bedtime.
Do not delay implementing the above regimen. Once the cold virus infects too many cells, it replicates out of control and strategies like zinc lozenges will not be effective. Treatment must be initiated as soon as symptoms manifest!
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract that causes symptoms such as a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, coughing, and sore throat (Turner 2009; Turner 2011; Mayo Clinc 2011). Systemic symptoms such as mild headache, fatigue, fever, and muscle aches can occasionally occur with the common cold as well. However, if these symptoms are severe and/or accompanied by fever or significant exhaustion, they likely indicate the "flu", which is a distinct type of viral respiratory infection caused by an influenza virus (CDC 2011; Hayden 2011; NIAID 2011a).
It has been estimated that the U.S. population contracts approximately 1 billion colds per year, and the common cold is a leading cause of medical visits and missed days at work or school (Singh 2011; Roxas 2007). Although most cases of the common cold are mild and self-limiting, the illness represents a major economic burden to society in terms of lost productivity and treatment expenditure (Maggini 2012; Lissiman 2012; Turner 2009).
Treatment strategies for the common cold are generally aimed at relieving symptoms, shortening duration, and minimizing the risk of complications (Roxas 2007; Albalawi 2011).
Conventional cold treatments include over-the-counter analgesics and decongestant medications (Roxas 2007; NIH 2012b). However, these strategies are minimally effective (Nahas 2011), and even when used appropriately, may be associated with significant side effects (Shefrin 2009).
A number of specific antiviral drugs have some degree of effectiveness against common cold viruses. One exciting candidate is Biota's vapendavir, which recently met key milestones for benefit in a Phase IIb human rhinovirus trial in asthmatic patients in March, 2012 (EvaluatePharma 2012). The readily available over the counter (OTC) drug cimetidine, approved for the treatment of reflux and "heartburn", has anti-viral properties as well, and may be a useful common cold treatment.
Several innovative and integrative strategies such as vitamin D, garlic, zinc, Astragalus, beta glucan, and probiotics have been shown in scientific studies to help manage symptom duration and intensity associated with the common cold (Maggini 2012).

This site, well, doesn't get many comments. Page views seem fairly high though, and I suppose that tells me that at least someone is reading this nonsense, and that's really good enough for me. As Huxley states every now and then in the rotating quotes on the right, obscurity can only be cultivated in the dark. Or at least something to that effect.
When I first created this site, it was much like… say, a rebound relationship. My last website broke my heart, cut me to the bone, and made me want to pick up an acoustic guitar and write the world's billionth love song. So this was the first thing I made. At first I wanted to name it Platitudes.com, for the precise reason that, unless I'm being extremely lazy in my writing, I sort of go out of my way to avoid platitudes. You could even say that it was intended to be ironic which would have been sure to tickle the funny bones of any Gen-Xer that happened to be reading this. As a side note to that, I once cracked wise that the best way to get money out of those idiots is to just call things what they are, they seem to think saying something is what it is in a really droll voice makes it cutting and clever. Ironic. My brilliant idea was to make Gen-X clothing. Hats that said, in small text 'hat.' Shoes that were in fact labeled 'Shoe Brand Shoes.' Expensive t-shirts that said 'T-Shirt.' You get the idea. Of course, I couldn't get the website name I wanted which sort of irritated me, so I got the Warden on Ventrilo along with another friend of mine in an attempt to coax a new name out of them since my first choice was taken.
Being the super useful Co-Admin he is the Warden cracked wise that Platitudes sounded a lot like, Platypuses. You know, the ugly poisonous duckbeasts from that wasteland of humanity known as Australia, where everything is poisonous and will kill your ass. Especially the music, Jet sucks. So, the suggestion was to name the site, I shit you not… PlatitudePlatypus.com. While not only is this a stupid suggestion, against my better judgment I said, 'dude, who would think of something like that?' Little did I realize that this is the damn internet. It's not a matter of who would think of something like that, it's a matter of when. So I did a google search for 'platitude.' This lead me to an article on uncyclopedia. What's that you see in the right hand corner upon viewing the page? A FUCKING PLATYPUS SPEAKING PLATITUDES!
