Certification Policy Statements
- Position Statement regarding the SOG-IS MRA in the context of the revised CCRA (July 2015)
- Certification of Operating Systems (May 2014)
BSI wants to inform members of the German certification scheme and users to be up to date regarding the national certification policy.
Position Statement regarding the SOG-IS MRA in the context of the revised CCRA (July 2015)
The German Common Criteria Certification Scheme of the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), considering the ratification of the revised CCRA has determined their policy how to use collaborative Protection profiles (cPPs) in their scheme in relation to the national and European context. International mutual recognition of certificates under the terms of CCRA is based on evaluations that claim compliance to cPPs or Evaluation Assurance Levels 1 through 2. Members of SOGIS-MRA mutually recognise certificates up to and including Evaluation Assurance Level 4 or higher for defined Technical Domains.
The role of SOG-IS MRA in the context of the EU
National competent authorities are collaborating within SOG-IS MRA at European level. Hence, SOG-IS MRA is the single point of contact for all stakeholders including the Commission when it comes to IT security product certification. This group provides a neutral and objective platform to address todays trust challenge in a pragmatic, result-oriented manner. SOG-IS MRA particularly promotes so-called recommended Protection Profiles that are of interest to all members and might possibly be EU mandated. They are harmonised by all members following an endorsement procedure and therefore sustainably enforce the trust in the digital society and economy.
High assurance certification
IT-security of products is essential in building the trust of citizens, businesses and administrations in the digital society, in particular while protection of privacy online has become a growing concern in the EU. Several EU legislations now mandate high assurance IT security product certification. The supporting PPs are developed by European Standardisation Organisations or other bodies, published as SOG-IS MRA recommended, and applied by SOG-IS MRA member schemes.
While the CCRA focuses on evaluations being fully comparable and repeatable, the SOG-IS MRA acknowledges that especially for the higher assurance levels, more evaluation effort is necessary that maximises the use of the evaluator's skills and capabilities. This sound expertise and experience within certain product categories/technical domains is established in cooperation with industry in technical working groups and is regularly proven by a thorough and technical assessment between the SOG-IS MRA members.
Compared to the CCRA, SOG-IS MRA allows mutual recognition of a larger range of assurance levels, allowing industry to seek a certificate recognised by several countries, and at the same time achieving, when necessary, a medium or even high assurance level. SOG-IS MRA is therefore beneficial to international trade, not only for EU industry but also for non-EU product providers.
BSI will make use of international collaborative Protection Profiles as far as they fulfill the specific needs of National stakeholders or the European Community (governments, market and industry). This could imply that additional security functionality may be required and adjustments for higher assurance levels are needed.
Under the revised CCRA, certificates can only be issued against cPPs if the product exactly conforms to the security requirements as stated in the cPP, according to annex K.3 of the CCRA. This means a certificate issued under the CCRA cannot claim additional security functionality, or higher assurance components. In these cases BSI will issue two certificates based on a single evaluation for a compliant product where one will be CCRA cPP compliant and the other SOG-IS MRA compliant including the additional security requirements.
For non-cPP compliant evaluations, BSI will continue, as before and in compliance with the SOG-IS MRA, to issue certificates beyond EAL2 as appropriate and to recognise certificates at the EAL4 level, or higher for specific technical domains. Those certificates will be mutually recognised by the CCRA nations up to EAL2. If regulatory security requirements or similar strong reasons demand according assurance levels, BSI also issues certificates beyond international mutual recognition.
Certification of Operating Systems (May 2014)
BSI continues its work on a Protection Profile for operating systems running on server and desktop systems. This and the accompanying extended packages are subject to a international working group. The goal is to enable product assurance according to the security needs of the markets. The assurance results from the operational environment of the systems and the need for protection of the data being processed. Operating systems are baseline technology, partly being used in sensitive areas. BSI recommends usage of appropriately certified operating systems specifically in those areas.
It is currently recommended to use the stable version 2.0 of the OS-PP. A first draft of the new version under development can be found under Collaborative Protection Profiles. In case you have interest in actively participating, please contact email@example.com.

CAESAREIACAESAREIA, CAESARIA, CAESAREA (Καισάρεια: Eth. Καισαρέυς).
1.(Kaìsariyeh), a city of the district Cilicia in Cappadocia, at the base of the mountain Argaeus. It was originally called Mazaca, afterwards Eusebeia. (Steph. s. v. Καισάρεια, quoting Strab. p. 537.) The site in the volcanic country at the foot of Argaeus exposed the people to many inconveniences. It was, however, the residence of the kings of Cappadocia. Tigranes, the ally of Mithridates the Great, took the town (Strab. p. 539; Appian, App. Mith. ch. 67), and carried off the people with other Cappadocians to his new town Tigranocerta; but some of them returned after the Romans took Tigranocerta. Strabo has a story that the people of Mazaca used the code of Charondas and kept a law-man (νομωδός) to explain the law; his functions corresponded to those of a Roman jurisconsultus (νομικός). The Roman emperor Tiberius, after the death of Archelaus, made Cappadocia a Roman province, and changed the name of Mazaca to Caesareia (Eutrop. 7.11; Suidas, s. v. Τιβέριος). The change of name was made after Strabo wrote his description of Cappadocia. The first writer who mentions Mazaca under the name of Caesareia is Pliny (6.3): the name Caesareia also occurs in Ptolemy. It was an important place under the later empire. In the reign of Valerian it was taken by Sapor, who put to death many thousands of the citizens; at this time it was said to have a population of 400,000 (Zonar. xii. p. 630). Justinian afterwards repaired the walls of Caesareia (Procop. Aed. 5.4). Caesareia was the metropolis of Cappadocia from the time of Tiberius; and in the later division of Cappadocia into Prima and Secunda, it was the metropolis of Cappadocia Prima. It was the birth-place of Basilius the Great, who became bishop of Caesareia, A.D. 370. There are many ruins, and much rubbish of ancient constructions about Kaisaryeh. No coins with the epigraph Mazaca are known, but there are numerous medals with the epigraph Εὐσεβεια, and Καισαρεια, and Καις. προς Ἀργαιω. Strabo, who is very particular in his description of the position of Mazaca, places it about 800 stadia from the Pontus, which must mean the province Pontus; somewhat less than twice this distance from the Euphrates, and six days' journey from the Pylae Ciliciae. He mentions a river Melas, about 40 stadia from the city, which flows into the Euphrates, which is manifestly a mistake [MELAS].

About a year ago, I was asked to do a general computer tips and tricks presentation to the Family History Center where I volunteer. It wasn't a large group but they were interested in learning. One of the topics we discussed was backing up your data. We covered the need to have multiple backup back-up copies in multiple locations. One gentleman raised his hand and said he didn't know how to back up his files except on his hard drive. He had 30 years of genealogy research and it was only on his hard drive! 30 YEARS WORTH! hoping nothing would happen in the meantime, I told him to bring it the next week and I would show him how to do a back-up. When he returned he brought his laptop, 2 flash drives, and 3 blank cds. We created multiple back-ups to be kept in different locations. Not all at home. I guess the lesson took because last week he came in with blank cds and asked me to create back-ups before he left for a trip to California!
It's not just genealogy files, correspondence, photos, finances, anything other than the actual programs needs to be backed up. Flash drives, cds (for now) and various cloud storage methods (drop-box and mozy are 2 cloud storage back-up methods) can be used. Back-up often and check your back-ups. If you don't know how to back-up your data you can google it or ask someone for help.

"The Hunger Games"! "Twilight"!
These were the movies "MTV Movie Awards" host Russell Brand kept shamelessly mentioning during Sunday evening's telecast to elicit screams from the youthful audience at the Gibson Amphitheatre. Indeed, many of the stars of the popular franchises were on hand to please fans, from Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner to Josh Hutcherson.
So, sure, there were A-list stars. But things weren't all glamour at the award show. And since we here at the Ministry of Gossip aim to give you the real Hollywood scoop, here are five things you didn't see on TV last night.

Bisons' right-hander Brandon McClurg gave Lipscomb fans something to cheer for on Saturday, as he no-hit the Kennesaw State Owls 4-0.
The Bisons got on the board in the second inning, using an RBI single by Allen Bolden to take a 1-0 lead.
Two innings later, the Bisons added to their lead in the fifth. The scoring started when Brad Gooch crossed the plate on a wild pitch. The next batter, Caleb Joseph lined a hit to center, that Owl's centerfielder, Martin Baker, misplayed, allowing the ball to go all the way to the wall, while Joseph rounded the bases for an inside the park home run. Bolden also scored on the play.
McClurg was masterful in the game, walking only one batter, although he did hit four with pitches. He struck out ten, his season high. He needed only 113 pitches in the complete game effort.
The Bisons, recorded only six hits against, Owls' starter, Chad Jenkins, themselves. The top three hitters in the lineup were the only ones to record a hit. Bolden recorded three while Joseph added two, and Jorge Gutierrez had the final hit for the Bisons.
"This was a big turn around from yesterday because we were really down on ourselves after the big loss," Bolden said. "Brad Gooch really stepped up, getting on base and scoring twice. It was a great team effort."
With the win, McClurg improved to 4-0 on the season. The Bisons meanwhile, improved to 13-11, and 9-5 in the conference.
"It was a good game," McClurg said. "I was feeling pretty good early on. Later I started getting tired, and the team made some pretty good plays behind me to help me out. When the game was over, I had forgotten about it [the no-hitter]. I was more tired than anything at then end.
"It felt good to celebrate with the guys after. They were real happy about it. It felt good to beat Kennesaw too. We have had a tough time against them."
Game two of the double-header was postponed due to inclement weather and will be rescheduled for 12 p.m. on Sunday, March 30.

Original Title: Mother of Triplets Has Baby at BART Station
With help from a high school history teacher, an Oakland woman carrying triplets gave birth to one of the babies at a BART station in Berkeley on Monday, October 3, 2005.
Lanitta Lewis was on her way to a doctor's appointment that Monday when she felt the first birth pains in the stairwell of the Berkeley BART station. She was in the process of delivering her first baby when Berkeley High School history teacher Biko Eisen-Martin rushed over to help her and literally gave her the shirt off his back to catch the three-pound infant.
When paramedics arrived they rushed the baby to an Oakland hospital. The mother was taken to another hospital, where the two other babies were delivered by Caesarean section.
All three of the newborns are girls and are in good condition. They're being fed with the use of feeding tubes.

Greater Cincinnati Association Hosts Annual Dinnerby Michael Warren • March 14, 2014 Share:
The Greater Cincinnati Association of Wabash Men welcomed alumni, parents, prospective students, and friends to the Montogmery Inn on Thursday, March 6 for its annual dinner event.
A wonderful reception started the evening allowing for great conversation amongst the guests. The conversations continued through dinner as all enjoyed the Inn's famous chicken and ribs. Following dinner, Wabash President Gregory Hess addressed the crowd providing an update on the College activities and plans. Having visited Cincinnati for an initial introduction in the fall, this was the second time for the president and his wife Lora to meet with area alumni and friends.
Thanks to Bill Augspurger '64 and Roger Billings '59 for handling the arrangements and to all the Wabash faithful who joined us for the special evening.

Want to get an inside view of what it was like to take off and fly a mission in one of our country's iconic aircraft, the B-52?
Guest speaker retired Air Force Lt. Col. Howard Butcher will lead audience members through the adrenaline rush of flying an 18-hour combat mission and landing of a B-52, enhanced by actual mission video and radio transmissions that will virtually place the guest inside the aircraft, the mission and the story.
The "Linebacker II Taking it Downtown" adventure is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Norton Air Force Base Museum's Norton Regional Event Center Auditorium, 1601 E. Third St., San Bernardino.
The event marks the second "Evening at the Museum" in a series of interesting programs.
The inaugural program in August featured retired Air Force Col. Raymond J. Merritt, a fighter pilot who was shot down by anti-aircraft fire in September 1965 and was held prisoner by the North Vietnamese for more than seven years.
Col. Butcher, an experienced USAF B-52 bombardier/navigator who flew more than 66 combat missions in Vietnam, will share his experiences during the program.
Butcher's combat missions also included two flights that were part of the president-directed Linebacker II Operation to liberate American prisoners of war.
"As a result of Col. Butcher in the B-52 and other bombers, the Vietnamese went back to the table at the Paris Peace Talks and the prisoners of war were quickly released," said Bob Edwards, Norton Air Force Base Museum president.
"The C-141 that brought the prisoners back home is known as the 'Hanoi Taxi' and both the plane and crew were from Norton," Edwards said.
Former Air Force fighter pilot Col. Raymond J. Merritt, will be in attendance. Merritt's flight to freedom was aboard the second C-141 to bring POWs home from Hanoi.
Entry to the event will be through the Norton Air Force Base Museum where attendees will have an opportunity to tour the museum before and after the program and purchase merchandise from the museum's gift shop.
The museum opens at 6 p.m.; the auditorium opens at 7 p.m. for seating; and the presentation starts at 7:30 p.m.
Parking and admission are free to the public, however, a minimum $5 donation to the Norton AFB Museum is encouraged.
Seating for this event is limited and will be provided on a first-come basis.
For more information, call 909-382-7307 or email firstname.lastname@example.com,

My heart goes out to the people of Goderich who learned this week how quickly our architectural heritage can be severely damaged or wiped out completely.
Having recently returned from a summer visit to my ancestral home (in Canada, at least, say ancestry.ca friends) I am renewed in my delight of how seriously the Town of Perth and her proud people take the idea of preserving the past. Whether it is her dubious distinction as the site of Canada's last fatal duel (and accompanying folklore), the storied Tay Canal, or her prominent stone architecture (both commercial and residential), Perth is continuing to entrust future generations with a town of sheer beauty.
This next photo shows what happens when a landlord starts to renovate an ice locker-turned-apartment building. A smaller, original stone building with an amazing round window has emerged. Town historians are scrambling, I am sure, to find out what went on here. It might well have gone back to the town's founding, as a military settlement after the War of 1812, when military stores were located in the next building down the hill. I look forward to seeing what else might be revealed when I next visit at Thanksgiving.
The Perth campus of Algonquin College is renowned for a program in trades geared to architectural preservation and authentic restoration. Below the stone walls at the Matheson House on Gore Street, Perth's Museum now for many years, are being re-pointed by a crew.
When an Algonquin-trained crew set to work on this place below from the inside out, one of them – a family friend – told me how interesting it was to work with original logs, unfinished to the point where he called them trees, in the building's structure.
Perth is considering a proposal to designate a Heritage Conservation Area. They should meet no opposition. Meanwhile, just this month, it has launched a Facade and Signage Improvement Program – again something which should be encouraged. These things matter! More can be read at http://perthcanada.com

The Buffalo and Erie County Public Library neither created nor contributed to the fiscal crisis that confronts Erie County. On the contrary, the Library, its staff and its many patrons are innocent bystanders. Never has the Library run a deficit, overestimated its revenue or outspent its income. Arguably, the Library returns more per tax dollar received than any other arm of County government and continues to accomplish more with less year after year.
Ironically, the Library predicted the current crisis seven years ago and tried to convince elected leaders and the community-at-large that a 52-library system is no longer viable as Erie County 's population and tax base decline. A system of fewer, better libraries was the hope the plan. That plan was realistic and rational, but there were precious few who would entertain such a notion then.
Now, as we approach 2006, there will be fewer libraries, but they will consist of the best of what we had, not the best we might have created.
Nevertheless, there is nothing to gain from hindsight and second-guessing. Where we are going is more important than where we have been.
With at least $7 million less to operate in 2006 than the Library had in 2004, our decision is how to do the most with what we have. Rather than whine and point fingers, the Library has shouldered this burden and accepted this challenge.
We know there's no extra money. Given that inescapable fact, we've prepared a plan. It is far from perfect, and it inflicts more pain than our public and our conscientious staff deserve, but our choices are few.
We must close libraries. We must strip our operation to the bone. We must send a generation of dedicated, talented staff to far destinations, while Erie County becomes poorer as they depart.
Ask any member of the Board or staff if they want this, and they'll glare at you in disbelief or outrage. But what are the alternatives?
No matter how anyone approaches it, $21.7 million is not enough to deliver even a facsimile of the service the Library delivers today far below the record-breaking service we delivered only last year. Every library that survives this unfortunate process must do much more with far less next year.
As we enumerate these plans and suggestions, we must remind the community that the B&ECPL Board of Trustees has no authority to close even one library outside the City of Buffalo . The B&ECPL Board provides operating revenue to those city, town, village and free association libraries in an annual contractual agreement. The System's Board might suggest the optimal way to allocate those financial resources, but it remains the decision of local officials as to how they operate their libraries with the dollars they receive, subject to System policies and the specific terms of the agreement.
When all is said and done, we cannot ignore the bottom line: $21.7 million. That amount is not enough even with reduced hours and new staffing strategies to sustain more than two-thirds of today's library system. A 2006 budget of $21.7 million cannot restore or maintain every library in Erie County , but with economies and strategies the number of potential closings has been confined to 16. Many more might have closed.
Last winter, when County parks, DMV offices and other County agencies were devastated by budget cuts, the Library managed to sustain service at all 52 locations, despite an 11% budget cut. Nine months later, the Library has no room left to maneuver. There is no miracle cure for Erie County 's fiscal ailments. Anyone expecting a quick fix is doomed to disappointment.
With foresight, the Library has prepared for the inevitable. We don't relish what we must do, but we are prepared to do it.

Stant Litore's "Zombie Bible: What their Eyes have Witnessed" is an exercise in the unexpected. I have a causal interest in zombie and a minimal interest in the bible; Litore's story should have only been mildly interesting. My preconceptions were completely wrong. "What their Eyes have Witnessed" is a lovely piece of historical prose that surprises at every turn. The real genius of the piece was not his wealth of historical detail, but in his characterization.
While Litore creates an interesting main character in Polycarp, Regina is the true star. Regina shows the trails of the historical women. She is beautiful in her strength and power, but also in her vulnerability. Litore shows an understanding of the fears of women in the dark. By far the best scene is one of Regina's fear during a long night. While Regina outshines the rest, his other characters are well thought out and believable.
Many readers may flock to "What their Eyes have Witnessed" for the clear historical world building, the dedication to Christian principles, or Zombie attacks; but Regina is the reason to read this novel. I would recommend to readers interested in zombies, bibles, or neither.
I give this piece of 5 out of 5.
Glad to Be Surprised,

(BPT) – Joey Logano, driver of the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion, recently started a huge project: building a race shop for his cars and equipment from the ground up. After deciding to build his own shop, Logano purchased a piece of land and started digging. The massive undertaking brought with it its own trials and learnings, but in the end, Logano took measures to build safely and securely. The project resulted in an impressive race shop that will be used for years to come.
From planning the build and clearing the ground for digging, to physically installing the foundation and power lines, Logano has a fair share of tips to share for anyone looking to plan their own digging project at home.
Define success as a team
An important component to any digging project is defining what success looks like, and making sure everyone working on the project is on the same page. This will help keep your digging project under budget and efficient. Take your time to do things right and achieve your goals.
"Building projects, like racing, are often a team effort," says Logano. "Identifying goals to achieve along with your team is an important step. With my race shop, we took the time to meticulously plan out and establish what we wanted to accomplish, the same way we game plan for a race and set goals ahead of time."
Digging and building projects are a lot of work, but when you get your whole team working toward the same goal, you can make sure your building project is a safe and successful experience.
Call 811 before you dig
There is a complex network of pipelines, wires and cables buried underground. Unintentionally striking a line can result in inconvenient outages for entire neighborhoods, harm to yourself or your neighbors, and repair costs. For this reason, it's important to call 811 before doing any digging.
A quick and easy call to 811 will connect you with a local One Call Center operator who will take down information about your dig location and notify all appropriate utility companies of your intent to dig. Then, the underground facility operators will contact you so they can mark the approximate location of underground utilities such as natural gas and oil pipelines below your project. Once the lines are marked, you can begin to dig, but always dig with care.
"Whenever I'm having anything done or any new projects going that require any sort of digging, I always make it a point to make sure that I or the guys that are working give 811 a call," says Logano. "Just like we make sure our car is running well every single time we hit the track, it's key to call 811 and make sure the digging you're doing goes off smoothly and safely – whether you're building a race shop or planting shrubs, calling 811 is really important."
Failing to plan is planning to fail
Before so much as picking up a shovel, make sure your entire project is planned out. A structurally sound design, the correct building materials, and proper funding are all things that cannot be overlooked under any circumstances. Seemingly small details are the difference between a successful and failed project.
"No matter what you're doing, whether you're driving a race car or building a race shop, if you don't adequately prepare, you're going to be in trouble," says Logano. "I took a long time to get started on my race shop as I was consulting with professionals, looking over plans and just making sure we were ready to go in general. Preparation is the key to success, no matter what, and building the race shop was no different."
By making use of these tips, you are more likely to have a successful digging project.

Hotel Ngor Ndiarama, Dakar, Senegal
Launch of the UNGEI Regional Partnership Network for Girls Education. The partnership is working towards closing the gender gap in education.
In West & Central Africa, almost 1 out of every 2 children (45%), is out of school; most of these are girls in rural areas. 81% of children out of school have mothers with no formal education. The primary education net enrolment rate for the region is only 55%. The challenges of achieving the Millennium Development Goals related to universal primary education by 2015 are greatest in West & Central Africa.
Media representatives are invited to attend any or all of the meeting sessions.
A press conference will be held at 1230 p.m. on Thursday, 13 April at the Hotel Ndiarama
Opportunities for one-on-one interviews with key participants will be facilitated on request
Please contact: email@example.com or email@example.com for more details.
Girls Education in West & Central Africa: Girls education is facing many challenges, from emergencies and HIV/AIDS, to deepening poverty and persistent gender disparities. The complexity of the issues preventing girls from accessing school requires a diverse group of partners to address them with the goal of moving girls education forward, at every level and in every setting.
UNGEI Partnership: The UNGEI partnership encompasses: UNICEF, ILO, World Bank, UNFPA, UNAIDS, UNDP, UNDESA, UNESCO, UNPF, UNHCR, UNIFEM, WFP, WHO, UNDG, bilateral agencies, NGOs and the civil society. Key regional partners in West and Central Africa include also regional political organizations, national and local governments, ministries of education, grass-roots organizations, local and international NGOs and donor governments.
Millennium Development Goals 2 & 3: Millennium Development Goals 2 and 3 are related to girls education and are inextricably linked. MDG 2 is the achievement of universal primary education: to ensure that by 2015 all children complete a full course of primary schooling. MDG 3, to promote gender equality and empower women, also has a vital educational dimension; progress towards it means the elimination of gender disparity in primary and secondary education, preferably by 2005, and at all levels by 2015. Universal primary education, by definition, cannot be reached without gender parity. And, gender parity in primary education is of limited worth if the participation of both girls and boys remain at low levels.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Coming off an undefeated Ivy League season, the Yale men's squash team will travel to Cambridge on Friday to compete in the CSA Squash Men's National Tournament. There will be 63 teams competing in eight divisions; Yale is in the A Division, playing for the Potter Cup. Trinity College, who has won 12 consecutive National Championships, will be Yale's toughest competition for the trophy. Yale has been seeded No. 2 for the tournament, behind No. 1 Trinity.
Yale will play its first match against No. 7 seeded Dartmouth at 11a.m. on Friday. If the Bulldogs win, they will move on to play the winner of the No. 3 seeded Princeton versus No. 6 seeded Harvard. A complete view of the bracket can be found here: http://collegesquashassociation.com/2011/02/21/2011-men%E2%80%99s-national-team-championships-brackets/. In the regular season, Yale defeated Dartmouth by a 7-2 score.
Yale maintained a 13-1 record in the regular season, with its sole loss coming from No. 1 Trinity. The Bulldogs are on a six-match winning streak, which they hope to continue this weekend. With a win in the national championship, the Yale men's team would match the feat accomplished by the Yale women's team last week.
"We're definitely going in to the tournament with a lot of confidence after ending the regular season on such a strong note. The goal is to win the whole thing, anything less would be disappointing. We've worked hard these past two weeks and everyone looks good. Hopefully we can match the girls and bring another national championship home," said captain Naishadh Lalwani.

Oct. 16, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - In a battle of undefeated NEWMAC women's volleyball teams, MIT emerged with a 30-28, 30-25, 30-23 win over Wellesley College on Tuesday night. The victory lifted the Engineers' ledger to 26-1 overall and 7-0 in conference play and also extended their winning streak to 22 consecutive matches. The current stretch ranks second in the program's history as the Cardinal and Gray tallied 41 straight wins during the 1983 season, eventually falling in the title match of the NCAA Championship. Wellesley, previously winners of 14 straight, saw its record drop to 20-4 on the year and 6-1 in the NEWMAC.
MIT opened the match with five unanswered points and later established a 10-4 advantage. The Blue slowly chipped away at the deficit, eventually capturing a 16-14 lead behind strong serving from Lauren Rasmussen. Following three ties and two lead changes, Wellesley went ahead, 21-19, which prompted a timeout by the Engineers. Following the break, MIT rattled off three straight points before a service error evened the game at 22. Another three-point spurt by the Engineers resulted in a timeout by the Blue. Wellesley narrowed the gap to one (25-24), but MIT countered with a trio of points. The Blue scored four of the next five points to once again narrow its margin to one (29-28). A timeout by the Engineers ended the momentum as a strike by Jenny Li clinched the game.
MIT maintained a narrow lead for a majority of the second stanza until Wellesley evened the score at 14. A kill by Katie Rowe put the Engineers ahead for good; however the Blue remained within striking distance. Tech extended its lead to four (22-18) following a hit by Lindsay Hunting that just made its way over the net. Wellesley captured the ensuing point after its timeout, but MIT quickly doubled its advantage to six (25-19). With the score at 28-23 after a block by Katrina Ellison, the Blue used its final timeout of the game. Wellesley picked up back-to-back points, but it could not generate a late rally as MIT capitalized on a kill from Barden Cleeland and a hitting miscue by the Blue to close out the frame.
The early stages of the third game were a back-and-forth affair, which eventually resulted in a 12-9 advantage for Wellesley. The Engineers picked up five of the next six points to regain the lead at 14-13. The Blue immediately evened the contest, but MIT maintained a three-point cushion which last occurred at 20-17. Wellesley posted the next three points to establish the third tie of the frame. The Engineers answered with a hit by Rose Zhong and converted a defensive miscue by the Blue to push their lead to two (22-20). A strike by Jessica Duff down the near sideline cut Wellesley's deficit in half. MIT mounted an 8-3 run to close the match, with three key hits from Li and a pair of aces by Carrie Buchanan powering the late surge.
Li led the way with a season-high 14 kills while Amanda Morris dished out 41 assists. Zhong finished with 15 digs and eight kills as Rowe notched eight kills and four blocks. Ellison paced the blocking corps with five stops to go along with seven kills while Cleeland contributed six kills and four blocks. Buchanan collected 15 digs and three aces as Cathy Melnikow picked up nine digs.
Murielle Dawdy and Tracy Waldman each posted 12 kills as Emily Peters registered a match-high 23 digs. Victoria Peng distributed 26 assists for Wellesley.
Both teams will compete in the Hall of Fame Tournament this weekend. On Friday, MIT's matches will be held at Mount Holyoke College while Wellesley will travel to Smith College. Mount Holyoke and Smith will host Saturday's brackets.

(NewsUSA) – HPV vaccination is recommended for preteen girls and boys at age 11 or 12 years. If your son or daughter hasn't started or finished the HPV vaccine series yet — it's not too late. Now is a good time to ask their doctor or nurse about vaccines for your preteen and teen.
HPV is short for human papillomavirus. In the U.S. each year, there are about 18,000 women and 7,000 men affected by HPV-related cancers. In both women and men, HPV can cause anal cancer and mouth/throat (oropharyngeal) cancer. It can also cause cancers of the cervix, vulva and vagina in women; and cancer of the penis in men. Many of these cancers could be prevented with vaccination.
The HPV vaccine has a very good safety record. More than 46 million doses have been distributed, and vaccine safety studies continue to show that HPV vaccines are safe.
A Mother's Tale
Jacquelyn, a mother of two and cervical cancer survivor, shares her story:
"When I got a Pap test after my son was born, I found out I had cancer and needed a total hysterectomy.
"My husband and I have been together for 15 years, and we were planning to have more children. We are so grateful for our two wonderful children, but we were hoping for more — which is not going to happen now.
"Although they caught the cancer early, I still have medical issues taking time away from my family, my friends and my job.
Worse, every time the doctor calls, I hold my breath until I get the results. Cancer is always in the back of my mind.
"I will protect my son and daughter by getting them both the HPV vaccine as soon as they turn 11. I tell everyone to get their children the HPV vaccine series to protect them from this kind of cancer."

In December 2015, more than 225,000 people in the Ivano-Frankivsk region of Western Ukraine were impacted by the world's first confirmed electricity blackout caused by a cyber attack. The incident demonstrated that the danger of cyber attacks on power networks is no longer theoretical—and that threat actors across the world are focused on turning the risks into reality.
But today's digitally enabled grid is more connected, open and flexible. The evolution to smart grid technology that connects IT and operational technology (OT), energy management systems and consumers is blurring traditional boundaries and opening up new vulnerabilities. The rise of distributed energy resources and decentralized generation across the network further heightens the risk.
Breaches by a wide range of potential attackers could have potentially devastating impacts along the entire electricity value chain, from generation through to consumers. Effective responses to secure smart grids against potential cyber breaches are both imperative and urgent. Yet as cyber threats escalate and proliferate, utilities, regulators and governments are constrained in terms of their remit and capacity to respond.
So, what steps do utilities need to take as they look to protect themselves from cyber attacks and secure the smart grid? First, they need to get the overall basics of security right by implementing a robust underpinning of processes and technologies. Then they should secure their smart grid environments by taking six key steps:
Create a program of overall education and awareness, so key business stakeholders are more fully aware of the nature and scale of the cyber threats facing smart grids.
Implement radical changes in the OT organization, through the integration of IT, OT and even physical security skills into a hybrid skillset, and enable root cause analysis of any OT disruptions.
Integrate monitoring technologies into the OT platforms/grid operations, to provide ongoing situational awareness in real time, as already happens on the IT side.
Increase collaboration and sharing of (ideally real-time) threat information between utilities and, to the extent possible, with regulators, government and security services.
Embed a workforce-wide mindset that treats cyber security as another element of safety, including integrating cyber security understanding and vigilance into all employees' asset integrity and process safety training.
Ultimately, move to "active defense" using automation and integration to enable the grid itself to detect suspicious or anomalous activity and respond in real time.
Digitally enabled smart grids open up exciting new opportunities for electricity utilities, their consumers and the societies they serve. But these connected networks are also creating new opportunities for cyber attacks, whether they be at home or from abroad. Security will be vital if smart grids are to be defended effectively. Making it a top priority will enable utility businesses to deliver the potential benefits for all.

|Head Coach
|37th Season
27-Time Big West Conference Coach of the Year
2012 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Women's Coach of the Year
In his 36 seasons at the helm of the UC Santa Barbara swimming program, Gregg Wilson has posted a dual meet record of 363-243-1 (205-128 with the men and 158-115-1 with the women). Even more impressive, his squads have collected 39 Big West Conference Championships, 26 men's titles and 13 women's team titles. The Gaucho men won 23 consecutive titles from 1979-2001, with Wilson leading the way in all but one year (Bernie Stenson coached the team in 1984).
During the 2010-11 season, Wilson helped UCSB open a new chapter as the Gauchos joined the Pacific-12 Conference (men) and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (women). UCSB also reinstated its diving program after an 11-year absence.
Since joining its new conference, the women's team has twice placed second at the MPSF Championships and this past spring Wilson garnered MPSF Coach of the Year honors.
Wilson experienced a career first over three decades into his time at UCSB during the 2011-12 men's season as the Gauchos compiled their first undefeated dual meet record of 6-0.
In all, Wilson has garnered Big West Men's Coach of the Year honors 15 times and Women's Coach of the Year honors 12 times for a combined 27 awards.
He has coached 20 athletes to conference Swimmer of the Year honors and five to Freshman Swimmer of the Year accolades.
Not just a dominating program at the conference level, Wilson's teams have also excelled at the national level. His men's teams have been ranked as high as 16th nationally and several of his swimmers over the years have advanced to the NCAA Championships. In fact, the men's team has turned in 31 All-American performances under Wilson, with 23 Gaucho men earning All-American honors. Among the All-Americans he has coached are Olympic gold medalists Richard Schroeder, Jason Lezak), 50-meter freestyle world record holder Bruce Stahl (the first person to ever hold this world record) and distance ace Carl Larsen.
Wilson took the reigns of the Gaucho women's program during the 1984-85 season and immediately led them to a Big West Championship. The women won 13 Big West Championships and came in second nine times with Wilson at the helm. The UCSB women have sent 29 swimmers to the NCAA Championships and the women's program boasts 12 All-American performances and 14 All-Americans under Wilson's tutelage.
The 1989 women's team finished 17th at the NCAA Championship meet, scoring 50 points and producing All-American performances in both the 200 and 800 freestyle relay events. The seventh place finish in the 200 free relay was the highest ever by any UCSB relay team. Kim Bryson became UCSB's first four-year NCAA All-American.
Anne Marie May placed third in the 50 freestyle at the 2009 NCAA Championships, making her the first Gaucho woman to medal in an event at the meet.
A native of Walnut Creek, Calif., Wilson is a graduate of Las Lomas High School. He was an All-American student-athlete at Diablo Valley Junior College, where he competed in both swimming and water polo before transferring to Cal. While at Cal, Wilson participated in both sports. He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1972 and received a master's degree in physical education in 1975.

Water Test / Boat Demo Tips
Hello Fellow MC lovers - this is my first post.
Gearing up for a water test of X15 next weekend. Any tips, hints, or tricks of the trade that I need to look for before, during or after the demo? I'm actively searching now and plan to be in an X15 at the start of the season 2011. Budget of $40k - $50k
I grew up in Knoxville, TN on Norris Lake and looking forward to getting my own MC. Now is the time.
Would love to hear your tips on locating our next boat.
When you water test a used boat, make sure you use the perfect pass, fill and empty all ballast sacs/tanks, check the oil and transmission fluids to make sure you dont see any signs of water. If possible when you have the boat off the trailer, take the chance to have a look at the trailer and bunks.
If buying new, not so much an issue, but based on your stated budget, looks like you will be buying late model used. Which is perfectly fine with the quality of an MC. You should be able to find a heckuva nice X15 for 40-50k.
As for tips to finding, just keep looking. You never know when or how you will find the MC you are looking for. I was looking hard for a Supra when I stumbled onto my MC. It was to good of a deal to pass up, and even though I didn't know it at the time, it was definitely a blessing in disguise. Some one above must have known I needed a MC instead of a Supra. I will never own a boat that is not an MC now that I have one.
Good luck and happy hunting.

A friend sent me the following questions, and I realized I had never really gotten around to writing up my conclusions or hints after making many a batch of clarified Milk Punch.
"I've been thinking about how effective it would be to make a clarified milk "stock" of sorts: heat milk and add to lemon only, then refrigerate and strain through cheesecloth. Then wouldn't you be able to develop recipes a lot more readily than overnight batches? Once you get the flavor down you could do it all the regular way to make it clearer. Would you have a general proportion to make this stock with? Also, it's only the whey left, right? So it would be more expedient to use non-fat milk?"
Haven't I ever given you my Milk Punch Spiel?
As far as I can tell, the primary reason to make Milk Punch is so punch can be bottled and put down in a cellar for later use.
This is why Charles Dickens ended up with bottles of Milk Punch in his cellar inventory when he died.
Adding milk and filtering the punch through the curdled milk solids does an amazing job at fining and filtration. It removes pretty much any impurities down to much of the color from barrel aging or caramel color.
You should have seen the apple punch I made before filtering. It literally looked like really brown, cloudy apple cider. Truly disgusting. I was dubious that the Milk could filter it! I wish I'd taken a picture, so I could have a before and after!
As a bonus, filtering through the milk solids does an amazing job of "rectifying" harsh spirits and marrying the various flavors of the punch.
I also believe that the cream in the Milk does a sort of fat washing, which gives some of the unctuous flavor you get for the punch. That is why I have always used whole milk.
I have also had the best results using Straus, as they don't homogenize their milk.
When I've used other Milk, I've had a hard time getting clarity.
David Wondrich has suggested that the best way to filter Milk Punch is through a filter used for filtering Biodiesel. I've never really investigated, but from my cursory reading, it is possible that using the correct combination of filter mesh size and materials, you could do some sort of pressure filtration.
Another thing I've been thinking about is using a centrifuge to separate the milk solids.
On the whole, though, the thing is, once you have a well developed milk mesh in your filter, it really is the Milk Solids which do the best job filtering the punch.
Anyway, I don't know if just combining whey with punch base will really be even close to simulating Milk Punch.
For what it is worth, I understand that Dillon & Alex have made Milk Punches an important part of their work at Novella. Amusingly, when I last talked to Dillon, he was like, "What do you do with all the cheese?" Apparently, they are accumulating a lot of it.
Sadly, after acting as filtration for booze and the less nice elements of the punch, I do not really think you can do anything with the cheese. It just tastes nasty.
Over the 2013 holidays I visited a bar in Chicago. They were serving a basic brandy based clarified Milk Punch. Chatted a bit with the bar manager re: filtration and he said he makes a habit of leaving the milk in the Milk Punch overnight. That it makes filtration easier.
So, I made two batches based on the exact same infusion: one where I left the milk in overnight and another where I did my usual of only leaving the milk in for a half an hour and then filtering the punch through the solids.
He was right, the milk essentially turns to hard cheese, making getting the milk solids out of the punch really easy and filtration a breeze.
However, after filtering the milk solids out, the punch is not very clear with a lot of darkness from tea and spice floating around. I left it to sit over another night and it did settle out pretty well.
However, giving our restaurant manager a blind tasting between the two, he strongly preferred the one where I used my usual process.
The punch where I did the usual method has the unctuous nature that I enjoy and the ingredients taste mellowed and well integrated. The fruit in the punch is clear and much more apparent.
The overnight steep of milk tastes really harsh by comparison. Strongly of booze and the fruit is not as clear. Also, it seems much thinner, more bitter, and kind of nasty. Basically, like a not very good day old plain punch you have chilled in the refrigerator.

The web browser is becoming the single most important piece of desktop software, if it isn't already. Not only is the web a huge source of information, but also the conduit to a huge world of hosted apps and interconnected cloud services covering a range of new computer-based experiences.
When you're shopping, you want security; when you're working, you want reliability; and when you're being entertained, you want speed and compatibility with many different types of media.
This mainly affects Chrome, Opera and Firefox. The way we chose which applications to include in this Roundup was quite simple – they're the most popular Linux browsers currently developed and in use. We're including only proper versions of the browsers available now, with no pre-alpha or nightly builds allowed.
Once the poster child of the new web revolution, but is Firefox past it?
There is a description of Firefox as a flashy sports car, hampered by all sorts of esoteric hardware welded to the outside. As analogies go, it isn't a bad one. The original impetus for developing Firefox was to create a sleek, fast and efficient browser that didn't carry a lot of complicated UI features and speed-hogging code that only a minority would use.
Of course, the outcome of that is that the browser soon garnered itself a gazillion extensions. The meteoric rise of Firefox (it managed to get around 20% of browser share in the first year, and is now thought to be the client of choice for nearly half of the web traffic in the world) shows that the sleek and unfussy style was a good call on behalf of the authors.
Firefox's popularity was down to more than just speed, though – it innovated too, and strove for real standards compliance, in a world where browsers like Internet Explorer wanted the web to work their way. But that was in the past – what has Firefox done for us lately?
Most of the recent changes seem to be in terms of customisation, but there are also technical innovations. Support for the Web Open Font Format, for example – a recent development that simplifies embedding downloadable typefaces in a way that keeps font developers happy and reduces bandwidth.
Firefox is also pretty hot on the new HTML 5 technologies, with support for OGG containers and Google's WebM format, MathML and more. Certainly there's no sign of Firefox resting on its considerable laurels.
Coupled with an excellent security record and an amazing amount of customisation potential, Firefox makes a solid browser choice.

The so-called social browser throws up some surprises
Flock began life around the same time as Firefox, but the rationale behind the two is very different. Flock concentrates on what many people actually use the web for, so its world-view is centred around Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace and various webmail services.
The idea was to build in the kind of tools you would need – a blog editor app, a photo uploader – and also to provide a way to consume this media alongside 'normal' websites. At first glance, this gives it the appearance of some sort of multimedia command centre, which isn't too far from the truth.
Unfortunately, running the sidebar to keep track of Twitter or Flickr causes the responsiveness to drop as CPU power (and bandwidth) are drawn off to make sure you're seeing the latest tweets or pictures. Of course, there is no way around the fact that if you want to see web pages and Twitter feeds side by side, the information has to be downloaded and processed.
Maybe the priorities could have been adjusted better, but for a user on a 1Mb link or slower, this is a poor compromise. In terms of its rendering performance and compliance, Flock seems to be at the rear of the pack on many occasions.
Although ostensibly still in development and using the same Mozilla codebase as Firefox, a year of standing still has left it suffering. Flock is neat if you spend your day worrying about what's happening on Facebook, but much of the functionality of Flock can be replaced by add-ons (albeit just as painfully slowly) or perhaps by dedicated apps. It does have some interesting, and even innovative, UI features, but is also more than a little out of date.
Version: 2.5

It does have a different take on the web, but it's a little sad and neglected.

) More than half of Salt Lake City U.S. households are home to at least one pet and the number is growing both nationwide and in . Despite our local love for animals, many pets in Utah are exposed to secondhand smoke, which can have detrimental effects on their health and even lead to early death. Utah
"Most pets are mammals, just like human beings, and exposure to secondhand smoke affects them the same way it affects people," says Dr. Nathan Cox, veterinarian at
. "It's hard when someone brings in a pet who is ill and doesn't even realize their addiction is causing the problem." Cottonwood Animal Hospital
Studies show that dogs exposed to secondhand smoke are prone to nasal cancer and that once contracted, affected dogs rarely live more than one year. Exposed cats often experience oral cancer from licking themselves and ingesting the byproducts of secondhand smoke. Dogs and cats are also at risk if they ingest cigarette butts. "Just two cigarette butts can be deadly to a dog," said Amy Oliver Media Manager for the Tobacco Prevention and Control Program at the Utah Department of Health.
Birds and other exotic pets are also at risk for allergies and respiratory conditions caused by exposure to secondhand smoke. "I've seen in my practice that exposure makes more susceptible to chronic infections and asthma," says Cox. "Not only do these conditions make the pet miserable, the cost of treating them can really take a bite out of the family budget."
"We're sharing this information because we want people to be inspired to quit smoking for themselves and for their "best friends," said added Oliver. "And our community resources like the Quit Line and the UtahQuitNet.com can help pet owners make a plan to get themselves and their pets on track to a healthy life."
Studies show that 9 in ten pet owners consider their pet a member of the family and big household decisions, like car and home purchases, are often made with the pet's happiness in mind. Pet owners also spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars a year to treat tobacco-related illnesses in their animals.
Tobacco use is the single greatest cause of preventable death in

In a finding certain to put new pressure on the purveyors of sugary foods and drinks, a worldwide analysis shows that regardless of its effect on obesity, the ebb and flow of sugar in a country's diet strongly influences the diabetes rate there.
The new study provides compelling evidence that obesity isn't driving the worldwide pandemic of Type 2 diabetes as much as the rising consumption of sugar — largely in the form of sweetened sodas, experts said.
Increases in sugar intake account for a third of new cases of diabetes in the United States and a quarter of cases worldwide, according to calculations published Wednesday in the journal PLOS ONE. In the 175 countries studied, a 150-calorie daily increase in the availability of sugar — about the equivalent of a can of Coke or Pepsi — raises the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes by 1.1%, a research team from Stanford University and UC San Francisco found.
Dr. Walter Willett, a nutritionist and epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health, said the results almost certainly underestimated the role of added sugar in the development of diabetes, since the data didn't distinguish between sugar that comes from fresh fruit and sugar that is concentrated in junk foods and sodas with no other nutrients.

Sydney: Home to the world's biggest coffee snobs?
Syndeysiders are a sunny lot on the whole, friendly and helpful.
Unless you screw up their cappuccino.
Sydney doesn't have a coffee culture -- it has a coffee cult.
If dueling were still acceptable in the city, I have no doubt that most pistols drawn at dawn would be to defend the honor of a venerated barista.
My first experience with Sydney's finicky coffee drinkers came when, still fresh off the boat from London, I met a seemingly charming magazine contributor for a coffee in Surry Hills.
He ordered a ristretto from the young barista.
"What's that?" she asked echoing, more politely, my own thoughts.
"Really," he said, completely crushing the poor girl. "If you are a barista you should know what a ristretto is -– it's half an espresso."
More on CNN: How to make perfect coffee
Half an espresso? She did her best, but compounded her ignorance by serving it in "the wrong cup." Presumably she should have raided a doll's house for a suitably sized drinking vessel.
I later found out from a barista friend of mine that a ristretto is the sweetest part of the crema -– a concentrated shot with less bitterness than an espresso. Not exactly half an espresso then.
Stories like this abound in Sydney, a city where people will walk out of coffee shops without ordering if they see the grinder looks full or dirty. You see them craning to make sure the steam pipe has been wiped down properly after each insertion.
One barista was caught out because, while using a different jug for soy milk, they didn't use a different cloth to wipe the steam pipe.
Everyone, it appears, is a coffee expert.
Wrest them away from the aroma of their own favored coffee chapel and noses wrinkle with muttered comments about burnt beans and blasphemous brewing techniques.
Even the Sydneysiders who don't tolerate caffeine have allied with the city's coffee snobs. When a woman came in asking for LSD, the barista naturally asked what she meant.
"Latte soy dandelion coffee, of course," the customer sneered. "Everyone is drinking them in Newtown."
A city full of beans
Sydney is a multicultural city that draws residents from all over the world. Clearly there are different customs and rituals with coffees in other parts of the planet.
A barista was sweeping up a broken biscuit near two ladies, one of whom erupted in fury.
"Turkey may be a third world country," she shouted, "but even in Turkey we don't disturb someone's coffee by sweeping up while they are drinking."
She then proceeded to march up to the barista, turn her back to her, lift up her buttocks and violently pass wind.
After two years living in Sydney I now find myself more than mildly disappointed when I'm served a below average coffee. I've become a devotee of the Campos beans.
More on CNN: Sydney's 5 most inventive coffees
Of course it's not just the quality of the coffee but how fast the water is pushed through and how it's ground. The dynamic duo of Tom and Yipso in Taste on Foveaux Street in Surry Hills make a Campos long black like no one else in the city -- and anyone who disagrees can see me outside.
If you want haute caffeine in Sydney, you have a wander outside of the main tourist areas. Here are some superior coffee shops to watch the locals getting their fix.
Surry Hills
In the alleyways of Surry Hills are some of the best cups of coffee in the city. Once fortified you can zip up to Crown Street and enjoy the eclectic mix of boutique shops.
Rueben Hills
Über-urban and industrial with cool garage roller doors at the back -- the beans are roasted in the loft space.
Rueben Hills doesn't just serve killer coffee, it makes a mean plate of food inspired by the Latin American countries from which the coffee beans are imported.
The Tradies Breakfast (aimed at such rough sorts as architects and ad execs) is the best breakfast you've ever eaten in a brioche.
61 Albion St., Surry Hills; Reubenhills.com.au
Single Origin Roasters/Sideshow
Here you'll find your cup of joe brewed by Shoki Sasa, who won best barista in the 2012 Good Café Guide Awards.
Anything you need to know about coffee, just ask the knowledgeable staff.
60-64 Reservoir St., Surry Hills; www.singleoriginroasters.com.au
The Grounds
The buzz about The Grounds doesn't just come from the coffee.
This new venture is a mega-café, totally to be avoided on the weekend when you'd have to get up before you go to bed to avoid the queues.
Naturally, they roast their own beans and the coffee is excellent.
So is the food, served in a friendly atmosphere with a huge kitchen garden complete with chickens and a place for kids to play.
Building 7, 2 Huntley St., Alexandria; Groundsroasters.com
Bondi and Bronte
The Crabbe Hole
If you're looking for some frothy waves to go with your coffee froth, consider the Crabbe Hole at Bondi Beach.
This compact, laid-back café has a million dollar view by the entrance to the ocean-side pool at Bondi Icebergs.
It's a great place to put fuel in your tank before tackling the lovely Bondi to Coogee walk, or to enjoy an ice cream sandwich on the way back.
1 Notts Ave., Bondi Beach; Icebergs.com.au
Three Blue Ducks
Café by day, restaurant by night, the Three Blue Ducks serves up the ultimate Aussie breakfast.
Avocado on toast with herb salad and oven-roasted tomatoes provide a simple but effective demonstration of the superb quality of raw ingredients Australia produces.
Afterward, we recommend wandering down to the beach to watch the surfers battle tricky Bronte beach.

These absolutely delicious appetizer bites are my adaptation of our French Fridays with Dorie recipe of the week, Gorgonzola Apple Quiche. I loved the fruit and cheese combo but am not a fan of quiche and knew no one else in the family would be up for trying it, so I made little mini tarts instead.
I pretty much just left off the cream and egg off of the recipe and made minis instead of one big tart.
If you can't find imported gorgonzola, Bel Gioioso Cheese makes a delicious version made in Wisconsin. Meijer usually carries this cheese and I buy it often, it's so good!
Above is the measured out two ounces of cheese...
and here is the cheese mixed up with the cubed apples.
I prebaked Dorie's tart dough for 10 minutes, then baked another 10 after adding the apples and cheese.
These were absolutely delicious, and Dorie's tart dough was so nice and flaky. I drizzled a few with honey and that just took them over the top with the savory sweet flavor combination. These would be just perfect for an appetizer party or as wine tasting nibbles, and I would not hesitate to make these again. I'm sure that if you like quiche/eggs the recipe as written was just as palate pleasing to you as these tartlets were to me :) My mom was visiting and loved these as well, the kids were not fans, but it is more of a grown-up flavor.

Reynolds rips Lakeland before the growth spurt!
What was your skate scene like in Lakeland, Florida?
I got lucky to always have a friend or two to skate with.
Skateboarding wasn't big when you started?
Well, I went to see Gleaming the Cube [1989] in the movie theater and I'd probably just started skating and there were a lot of skaters in the movie theater with their boards. I was shocked. Where did all these guys come from? But they were all way older than me. Then I got more into skating and met kids, just a couple little kids in my neighborhood and then some kid moved from Australia and I skated with him. It was always like a group of three kids I skated with, never a big scene of 15 or 20 kids at a spot.
Was there a local spot where everybody would skate?
We had a lot of spots. We had a place that was our EMB. You know how every town has their wannabe EMB spot? We had one that was ledges and double sided blocks. I'd skate there from my house. It was probably three miles. I'd skate there every day. It was a courtyard in an abandoned, out-of-business department store. It only lasted for a while but it was sick.
What was the weather like in Lakeland?
Super hot, but when you grow up in it you don't know any different. It's so humid and disgusting and you're skating all day long. If you live in California for a three or four years and go back and go in it, you're like, "Whoooa, oh my God." But when you're a kid, that's all you know.
Was there any particular sessions that stick out fondly?
The scene kind of got bigger around the Eastern Exposure, Ricky Oyola type of days, you know? We thought our downtown was Philly with the curb cuts and grinding the window seals against the walls. That was pretty sick at that time. It went from doing stupid tech tricks to more going fast and grinding and ollieing and more like real skating. We had fun during that time.
Are the spots you used to skate still around?
Our EMB spot is gone but a couple of spots we used to skate are still there. I'll go cruise around [when I'm back] but most of the stuff is like curb cuts. I don't really…
Do you miss anything about Lakeland?
If anything, I miss Southern cooked food, like certain restaurants, like barbeque. I live in L.A. so everybody is pretty into material stuff, the way they look and their car and bullsh-t like that. You don't really get that much in the South, so that's kind of cool.
Tony Hawk told me how you got all bummed on the blinged out cars and rims so you spray painted the rims on your Prius.
I gave that car to my sister. They looked perfect. It was really good. I saw Eric [Koston] do it to his truck and we did my Prius too. Now I have a Cadillac, which is kind of right in the middle. A BMW or something is probably around 80 thousand, a regular car is around 30, and a Cadillac is 40, 50—in there. I just figured, I like Cadillacs—I get to treat myself a little and be happy without having to spend 100 grand on a car.
Was it a hard transition moving to California?
No. I wanted to come earlier but my mom made me graduate from high school.
Mortimer wrote some books with Hawk, Mullen, Daewon, Olson, Vallely, Haslam, etc.

Street Fighter X Tekken: 12 new characters coming to consoles, PC this fall:By now you've heard news that 12 additional characters - previously revealed as PlayStation Vita exclusives - are located on the Street Fighter X Tekken disc. Naturally this means said characters will arrive on the console and PC versions shortly after the Vita version launches later this year, but the real question is why they're on the disc in the first place.Keep reading...
With a lot of complaining, gnashing of teeth, and people buying the product anyway ;)Not happy about the DLC either, but I can see why they did it.
Tekken characters have a buttload of command normals just like they do in Tekken which will probably be a bit disjarring to people who try them but have never touched a Tekken game.
Quote from: Akanbe- on March 07, 2012, 07:03:05 PMWith a lot of complaining, gnashing of teeth, and people buying the product anyway ;)Not happy about the DLC either, but I can see why they did it.Gamers don't know how to boycott. Though, I can see the DLC in SFxT been handled worse but is still lame as hell.
I've only played Tekken 3, Tag Tournament and a bit of Tekken 4. Does that count as enough experience? :p
Played a lot last night. It didn't take me long to find a team suited to me either. Cammy plays great, as always, and Asuka is perfect for defense.
I'll be waiting for the eventual re-release.
Capcom details Street Fighter X Tekken DLC plans"let's recap: Come April 3 the game will see a host of additional costumes priced at $1 each (or $13 for all of the Street Fighter or Tekken character costumes; that works out to $26 for the entire series). Likewise, the company will also release three free color packs that include four new colors per character, as well as three new quick combo slots, free of charge.Sometime after that -- Capcom optimistically says "shortly after" -- Street Fighter X Tekken will also receive 60 new gems and three new gem slots per fighter, as well as a "replay analyzer." This too is totally gratis.Then, once the Vita iteration of the game hits shelves, the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game will receive 12 additional downloadable characters. Players will be able to buy all of these characters at once for $20."Geez.
I played about 4 hours yesterday at a friends house, and while it is fun, I found it to be worse than all the others capcom's fighting games released this gen by far. Not only mechanics but graphics, color, music, the design of the characters, menus. Sure most of it is pretty subjective but it is as I see it.

As we have moved through the heartwrenching news in the wake of the Connecticut School shooting, there have been tears, anger, debate, and disgust. Mostly we want to know why? Why would anyone do this?
There's no answer that is good enough, but there is an answer, and one mother, Liza Long, revealed in a brutally painful essay titled "I Am Adam Lanza's Mother." I read it first thing this morning after Gawker published it, and I've read it countless times since. It chilled me to my core, as I read each stark powerful word.
In it she talks about her 13-year-son and his struggles with mental illness. She describes how the very son she gave birth to and loves also terrifies her. They've been through mental hospitals, police involvement, and trips to the ER for his violent outbursts. They can't pinpoint a specific problem, and nothing they've tried, from drugs to therapy, has worked. He regularly threatens to kill himself and kill his mother.
She writes:
I am sharing this story because I am Adam Lanza's mother. I am Dylan Klebold's and Eric Harris's mother. I am Jason Holmes's mother. I am Jared Loughner's mother. I am Seung-Hui Cho's mother. And these boys—and their mothers—need help. In the wake of another horrific national tragedy, it's easy to talk about guns. But it's time to talk about mental illness.
The only option she's been given by a social worker is jail.
No one wants to send a 13-year old genius who loves Harry Potter and his snuggle animal collection to jail. But our society, with its stigma on mental illness and its broken healthcare system, does not provide us with other options. Then another tortured soul shoots up a fast food restaurant. A mall. A kindergarten classroom. And we wring our hands and say, "Something must be done."
I agree that something must be done. It's time for a meaningful, nation-wide conversation about mental health. That's the only way our nation can ever truly heal.
God help me. God help Michael. God help us all.
Amen. I look at my own sweet children, and I can't imagine how I would cope if I saw signs like this in them. Would I be strong enough to make the hard choices? Would I even know what choices there were? Or would I, like so many do, be embarrassed, protective, or paralyzed with fear? I don't know, and I don't think anyone does until they're in that position. And the reality is that any of us could be in that position; mental illness can strike anyone. We ALL could be Adam Lanza's parents.
While I agree that we need to address gun control (though I'm torn as to how), I, like Long, believe the bigger issue, the most significant issue is mental illness in our society. We can't continue to ignore it. We can't pretend that there aren't mothers like this across the country feeling guilty, and helpless, and scared. We have to figure out a way to help them and their children before more of our children are killed.
Because even if there are no guns left, there will be people sick enough to want to do something like this. And that is dangerous in any society.
What do you think of this mother's essay?
