I created a standalone path by mistake, instead of creating a new shape layer.
What's the correct method of turning this into a new shape layer?
I tried converting to a selection, but I then seemed unable to fill the selection as I normally would, and I'm not sure how/if this would create a new layer from the path.
Thank you.

Types of Houseplant Bugs and Methods to Check Their Infestation
Within the near future, houseplant bugs will attack your indoor plants, subsequently motivating them to shrink and toss their leaves rashly. It is extremely vital you find out about the distinctive kinds of house plant bugs and the best approaches to control their invasion.
Your home plants are flexible to assaults from grouped bug nuisances and creepy crawlies. Bugs on houseplants are truly fit for causing wide-going harm to the wellbeing and appearance of the plant. At the point when your houseplants are overwhelm by parasites, they will look powerless or show up not to develop enthusiastically. Ordinarily, houseplants bugs can be followed to as of late obtained plants or plants got as blessings. To keep this, attempt to put your new plants at a confined spot for no less than a time of about fourteen days. Inside the disengagement you can without much of a stretch decide the nearness or nonappearance of bugs on houseplants.
Probably the most prevalent houseplants bugs are:
Nursery Whiteflies: They are outstanding to support nursery developed vegetables, for example, tomatoes, cucumbers. Plants, for example, lantana, hibiscuses are additionally flexible to this nuisance. They are called whiteflies since they are normally secured with fine white wax. They like to suck sap from the plant, accordingly making harm the plant. Amid pervasion your houseplant will need force and will have dull looking appearance. To repress the pervasion, one can turn to utilizing sticky cards in order to trap grown-up whiteflies. It is smarter to apply, natural bug sprays, plant oils and insecticidal cleansers straightforwardly, to the leaves by utilizing a wipe.
Twospotted bug parasites: They are a standout amongst the most well-known nuisances pervading houseplants. This houseplants bug support all plants, since they slither starting with one plant then onto the next, along these lines pervading all the indoor of nursery plants. Twospotted creepy crawly bugs like to devour plant sap and will create little injuries seeming like white bits on the external plant cells. The counterbalance of the pervasion pretty much looks like little fixes on the underside of the leaves, at the base of the leaf veins. A little bit at a time, as the invasion develops, the leaves build up a grayish appearance.
You can undoubtedly recognize the networks, if the invasion is major. Intensely invaded leaves will drop rashly. Except if got in the beginning times of invasion, creepy crawly bug pervasion is normally deadly. They are hard to dispense with and your best response is to dispose of the considerable number of plants invaded, since these will fill in as rearing justification for new pervasions.

You can likewise apply bug sprays like disulfoton and imidacloprid, which are additionally very viable soil candidates.
Growth Gnats: They look little and are dim hued. They like to fly over the dirt surface. While an annoyance, the growth gnats do make next to zero harm the houseplants. Ideal approaches to control them is to change soil dampness conditions. Since the growth gnat hatchlings feed for the most part on rotting plant material, changing soil dampness conditions will help. Apply yellow sticky cards to help get the grown-up gnats.
Other realized houseplant bugs are Aphids, Thrips, delicate scales, defensively covered scales and springtail. There are a few different ways to dispose of bugs on houseplants. You can begin by washing your plants over and over with planes of water, which will help check aphid and arachnid parasite populace.

You should tap on creepy crawly plants [http://houseplantsreviews.com] to discover how they can make a sound indoor garden.

President Trump's $1.5 infrastructure plan calls for $200 billion in direct federal spending, with the remaining $1.3 trillion coming from state, local and private sources. But the unusual financing structure, along with the relatively small federal component, have led many critics to wonder if the plan could generate the desired levels of investment.
Economists at the Penn Wharton Budget Model reviewed the proposal to determine how much spending it could actually generate in real-world conditions. Using historical data on infrastructure spending, researchers built both static and dynamic models to predict the response to the proposal by various levels of government and private investors. The results were not encouraging:
"[B]ased on past evidence, much of the new federal aid would lead to state and local governments increasing total infrastructure investment by less than the value of the aid itself. We estimate that total new infrastructure investment would increase between $20 billion to $230 billion, including the $200 billion federal investment. There will be little to no impact on the economy."
A basic problem is that state and local governments don't always boost infrastructure spending when federal spending increases. In fact, they may reduce their own spending on infrastructure, using some of the federal money for roads and bridges while shifting state and local resources to other budgetary priorities. In most cases, the authors write, "total infrastructure spending from local, state, and federal sources increases by less than $1 for each additional $1 in federal aid."
Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a conservative economist who served as director of the Congressional Budget Office, told The Washington Post that although he thought the Penn Wharton projections were on the low side, the model was in the right ballpark. "I think they're making a fair point: How the states respond matters, and there's no guarantee that they'll pony up an additional $1.3 trillion," he said.

Binningup is a small coastal town located on Western Australia's coastline some 30km north of Bunbury and about 127km south of the state capital of Perth.
References to the name of "Binningup" can be found back as far as 1849 but it was not until 1963 that at the request of the Shire of Harvey the town site of Binningup was gazetted.
Since those early days Binningup has only slowly grown as the secrets of it's "paradise by the sea" have been well kept by the locals.
Binningup boasts many attractions including a magnificent 9 hole golf course, pristine beaches, reef sheltered swimming areas, great fishing, boating, surfing, skin-diving and a quiet peaceful lifestyle.
Please visit our photo gallery for just a sample of what life is like in Binningup.
On May 15 Premier Alan Carpenter announced the State Government's intention to build WA's second seawater desalination plant on Water Corporation land near Binningup. The $955 million plant would initially produce 45 gigalitres of water per year and is planned to begin operation by 2011. The proposal means plans to tap the Yarragadee aquifer have been shelved.

See them before they're gone: 5 urgent experiences for 2013
Some singular experiences on your annual must-see-and-do list can be pushed indefinitely. The Grand Canyon isn't going anywhere, and Pisa's tower will probably be leaning for the rest of our lives.
Other things you may want to upgrade to the "rush order" file.
The following five experiences may or may not be your cup of tea (or uncorporatized coffee). But they all officially belong in that latter category and shouldn't be put off much longer, if at all.
1. Catch Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market before it's gutted
It's the granddaddy of Asian fish markets, but by the end of next year it'll be more like an abandoned warehouse.
For years, the hallowed Tsukiji Market hasn't just been the briny command post of Japan's staple protein.
The 1,200-stall, hangar-style building on Tokyo Bay, packed to the gills with frenzied fishmongers and wholesalers bartering over 2,000-plus tons of marine meat every day, is also one of the city's biggest tourist magnets -- reeling in thousands of early-morning spectators to watch tuna auctions and wonder how a single ocean can support such a vast place.
Last November, Tokyo's metropolitan government announced that the property (located on prime waterfront in Chuo Ward near the upscale Ginza shopping district) will be shuttered and moved to a new multi-building facility a few kilometers down the road in Koto Ward.
Put off a trip to this must-see seafood scene for another year and you'll be attending a newer, bigger, brighter, cleanlier version of the Tsukiji experience, with orderly observation decks and a bonus concession of on-site fruit and vegetable wholesalers.
Not exactly the photo op of al ifetime.
2. Fly to the next Rolling Stones concert (if there is one)
Did The Stones perform their final concert on December 15, 2012? Nah. But maybe. But probably not. It's possible, though.
That was the big question posed by Rolling Stone magazine and the rock 'n' roll twittersphere on December 16, after the longest performing rock band in history capped its 50th anniversary tour with a blowout, ambiguous grand finale concert in Newark, New Jersey.
What were the mixed signals that it could all be over? Or not?
Well, first, there's Newark. Would The Rolling Stones really choose to end it all there?
But then Bruce Springsteen showed up as a special guest -- which almost always marks the end of a crazy, drawn-out campaign.
But then the song list did include "One More Shot" and "Start Me Up." On the other hand, it also included "Last Time" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Finally, if there was any doubt that these wrinkly rock legends are messing with us, the band flashed a "Coachella 2013" tour update on its mobile app -- pointing fans to their next blowout finale in Indio, California in April -- before yanking it.
By the time this article posts, new intel about where and when The Rolling Stones may or may not appear next (Regina 2014? McMurdo Station, Antarctica 2020?) will likely be flashed and then removed.
Bottom line, if seeing this diehard band live is something you'll regret not doing at some point in your life, you may want to stay tuned and not put it off for another 50 years.
3. Save the Maldives (or at least see them)
Oceans have risen by about eight inches since 1870, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the pace is only picking up say top climate scientists.
Who's taking the biggest hit while those global-warming forecasts and doom debates rage on?
Remote, low-lying islands in the middle of nowhere.
Places like Kiribati or Tuvalu, where evacuation plans are now on the table for tiny, pancake-ish islands that'll be some of the first to go as the sea levels swell.
Or the Cartaret Islands of Papua New Guinea, already disappearing and where evacuations are slowly, inconspicuously underway.
Or the Maldives, a chain of more than 1,100 islands and atolls in the Indian Ocean, which has the enviable distinction of being one of the dreamiest tropical getaways on the planet, and the unenviable one of being the world's lowest lying nation -- less than eight feet above sea level at its highest point.
New reports that rising ocean level rates may be exceeding our worst expectations -- ""We are decades ahead of schedule," IPCC scientist Michael Mann recently told the Guardian -- come in the wake of an announcement by former Maldivian president Mohammed Nasheed that the Maldives will become carbon neutral by 2020.
Yes, it's a gestural move given that the country accounts for at most 0.1 percent of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. Unless you lump in all the well-heeled visitors arriving from the world's greenhouse-gassiest countries.
Will taking a very long plane ride to the Maldives help the problem? No. Will supporting its sustainability efforts and witnessing the place's startling beauty and uncertain future firsthand? Let's hope.
4. Sip coffee in a land far away (from baristas in green aprons)
People-watching while sipping a warm beverage at some nameless café with crooked tables and chipped cups run by a cranky guy in a moustache whose family has owned the place for the last 500 years -- so let's not worry about the crooked table or chipped cup.
Is there a more timeless and savory rite of passage for travelers (before noon at least) that's vanishing right under our caffeinated, corporate-addled brains?
Starbucks isn't everywhere yet, but world domination is looking more and more like the latte leviathan's own 500-year business agenda.
In December, SBUX announced plans to break its own 20,000 worldwide retail store barrier (currently it's at around 18,000) by the end of fiscal 2014.
Three thousand new stores will open in the Americas over the next five years and hundreds more in Asia (1,500 in 70 Chinese cities alone by 2015). The company has also recently opened its first stores in India and Costa Rica.
If this has you veering toward tea-focused countries, think again.
Starbucks' recent US$620 million acquisition of U.S.-headquartered tea chain Teavana has also led the company to jettison the word "coffee" from its logo and inspire a terrifying new word. "Tea-volution."
Bottom line -- there's still nothing like an independent cup of coffee or chamomile in some classic joint that's tall on character and short on "Venti" cups. If you can find one.
5. Glimpse your first wild lemur in Madagascar (and hopefully not your last)
Madagascar is the only place on earth to view a wild lemur. But that may change, for the worse.
Last year, the remote island's endemic primates were named the most endangered vertebrates on earth by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) -- their imminent threat of extinction ahead of all other mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and bony fish.
The endemic primate, ranging from 30 grams to nine kilos, are believed to have evolved in isolation on Madagascar for over 60 million years, now comprising more than 100 species. Some were as large as male gorillas when humans began inhabiting the African island 2,000 years ago.
Those ones are long gone -- today more than 90 percent of Madagascar's remaining lemur species are threatened, many critically, owing largely to deforestation and poaching.
The nationally protected animal now subsists on threads of remaining tropical forest habitat, set up as reserves and national parks and maintained largely by ecotourism, the country's main source of income, with wild lemurs being a major draw.
"As Madagascar's biodiversity is its main tourist attraction," reports Livescience, "the loss of lemurs would only exacerbate the economic problems that are causing their demise."
In other words, if there's a good time to see a lemur that's not in a zoo, it's now.


text: Three Red Bulls Academy products named to the 2016 Premier Development League Top Prospects list Tweet Red Bulls Academy Product/Red Bulls U-23 Player Arun Basuljevic © Arun Basuljevic (New York Red Bulls U-23), Christopher Lema (New York Red Bulls U-23) and Adam Najem (Michigan Bucks) were all named to the PDL Top 20 Prospect list that was released Wednesday afternoon.

After finishing his second college season at Georgetown, Basuljevic was named to the 2015 All-BIG EAST First Team after starting all 21 games and helping Georgetown win both the BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament titles. The midfielder completed the season with six goals, five of which were game-winners, and four assists.

Lema plays along side Basuljevic at Georgetown University where he was named to the 2014 BIG EAST All-Rookie squad. He appeared in 21 games for the Hoyas with six starts to his credit that season. In 2015, Lema made 21 appearances starting 20 of them, collecting one assist. Adam Najem: Listed as the number four in the Top 20 Prospect List, Najem is competing this season with the Michigan Bucks after spending the 2015 PDL season with the Red Bulls U-23s. Along with Basuljevic and Lema, Najem was a member of the team that finished runners up in PDL last season. Najem has been in the Red Bulls youth system since he was 11-years-old and also won the U-16 Development Academy National Championship where he had the game-winning assist. Playing his college soccer at Akron, Najem was named a MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List player before the season even started, the highest individual award in college soccer. The midfielder started all 23 games for Akron, registering team-high marks in assists (11), points (31), shots (68), shots on goal (31) and game-winners (4), while ranking second in goals (10).

Micah Johnson had a breakout season in 2013, playing across three levels and leading the Minor Leagues in stolen bases in his first full season. The second baseman is now showing everyone it was far from a fluke.
The No. 4 prospect on the White Sox Top 20 list got on base all five times (2-for-2, three walks) for Double-A Birmingham against Tennessee on Saturday. He also stole three bases, doubling his season total.
Despite the somewhat slow start, Johnson is still tied for third in the Southern League with his six stolen bases. Thanks to a nine-game hitting streak, including eight hits in his last 12 at-bats (spanning three games), Johnson has upped his batting average to .377, currently second in the circuit. His .472 on-base percentage is also second in the league and he stands fourth with his .557 slugging percentage.
In 2013, Johnson began the year in Kannapolis and the Class A South Atlantic League, but earned a promotion up a level after hitting .342 with 61 steals in 77 games. Johnson hit .275 and swiped 22 more bags in the Carolina League before helping Birmingham win the Southern League title.
Johnson was taken by the White Sox in the ninth round of the 2012 Draft out of the University of Indiana after falling on Draft boards because of an elbow injury.

City and county seek common goals for joint planning
By Brian Wheeler & Courtney Beale
Charlottesville Tomorrow
Thursday, June 28, 2012
Planning staff and officials in the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County will spend this summer identifying joint goals to include in their respective comprehensive plan updates.
Earlier this year, officials identified seven shared priorities: historic preservation, entrance corridors, environment, housing, economy, transportation and land use. In separate meetings Tuesday, each planning commission began identifying specific opportunities for the first three of those topics.
Summer Frederick, a project manager with the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission, spoke to the Albemarle Planning Commission after giving a similar briefing in the city.
"What we are looking for is for you to discuss these topics and come up with … specific opportunities to work with the city to come up with joint goals," said Frederick.
The TJPDC is working with the city, county and the University of Virginia as part of a three-year $1 million federal grant awarded in 2010 for what is known as the Livable Communities Planning Project. One goal is to facilitate the comprehensive plan updates that guide local government planning decisions.
Albemarle Commissioner Bruce Dotson noted the results of a community survey from a previous comprehensive plan update.
"The thing that I remember from that … was how many residents of the city said that what they liked about the area were things that are located in the county, and vice versa, how many county residents liked things located in the city," Dotson said. "The ultimate success in preserving the rural area is when urban people value it, and vice versa."

Two recent Louisiana deaths from the 'brain-eating amoeba' Naegleria fowleri have been attributed to the usage of tap water for nasal irrigation employing neti pots. These follow on the 2010 death of a Pakistani who practiced wudu, a form of deep nasal irrigation, using tap water.
The yoga nasal irrigation technique, called Jala Neti in Sanskrit, is a Shatkarma (purification practice) used to cleanse the nasal passages of mucus and particulates. Modern users typically employ a teapot-looking device to pour salt water solution into one nostril and allow it to run out the other while the mouth is kept open to breathe. This practice has been shown effective for ease of symptoms related to hay fever, sinusitis, and other nasal conditions.
Infections from Naegleria fowleri are rare, and almost always fatal. Infection typically occurs while swimming or bathing in warm freshwater lakes or rivers, particularly when the water is low and in muddy areas. Infections have also been reported from bathing in inadequately chlorinated swimming pools and nasal irrigation with inadequately treated drinking water.
The amoeba enters through the nostrils and then bores through the skull, where it emits two enzymes to dissolve protein-rich brain tissue for consumption. Initial stages may appear similar to bacterial meningitis which includes headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, and stiff neck. Later symptoms progress to confusion, loss of balance, seizures, and hallucinations. Initial onset of symptoms occurs 1-7 days following infection, after which death usually occurs within 1-12 days.
Louisiana officials stipulate the amoeba poses no danger in drinking water, and only becomes fatal when allowed to enter through the nasal passages. While true, other sources claim the amoeba cannot survive in properly treated municipal water, suggesting the Louisiana sources of drinking water responsible for these deaths may have been inadequately treated.
Naegleria fowleri cannot survive in salt water, which has led some to speculate that the usage of tap water for neti is safe if adequate salt is added. This is based on the assumption that salt will hypothetically "kill" the amoeba. Given that failure to use salt in one's neti pot results in burning and stinging, it is unlikely the deceased didn't use it. However, no sources comment on whether salt was used.
Health authorities now recommend that boiled, distilled, or purified water always be used for nasal irrigation, echoing longstanding recommendations by neti pot manufacturers.
If a brain-eating amoeba isn't inspiration enough to use distilled water in your neti pot, the varying standards of US tap-water purity should be equally motivating. Using neti with unpurified water may introduce harmful chemicals or elements into the nasal cavities, and potentially exacerbate the allergens or mucousa the practice is believed to attenuate.
Are you a neti pot user? Have you used tap water in your neti pot before?

Cybercrims dump swag on open botnet server
Health data found on hacker data dump
Posted in The Channel, 6th May 2008 13:37 GMT
Everyone knows Trojans steal personal data, but the discovery of a server containing more than 1.4 gigabytes of stolen business and personal info brings home the real extent of the problem.
Data on the so-called crimeware server compromised 5,388 unique log files containing both email communications and web-related data. Net security firm Finjan reports that information on the server included business and customer data from 40 top-tier global businesses, including healthcare providers. It reckons the data was amassed in less than a month using two strains of malware - Backdoor IRCBot-CDO and Trojan-PSW Agent-AFA.
The hacker-controlled server was running a botnet command and control application. In addition, the compromised system was used as a "drop site" for private information. Compromised information included patient data, business email and bank customer data.
The compromised data was left in plain view on the hacker-controlled server, without any access restrictions or encryption. Thus the sensitive information was available to anyone who came across the server, not just the hackers who controlled it.
The compromised data and the Command and Control applications were detected by Finjan using its code inspection technology. It reckons the compromised data represents the tip of a "cybercrime iceberg".
Finjan notified the affected financial institutions - located in the US, Europe and India - and law enforcement agencies prior to issuing an alert on the attack on Tuesday. ®

+1General Commentat the moment this is my favourite brand new song
and i have just discovered
that if you listen really closly on the 6th and 12th second you can hear a really wierd noise
that resembles a dog barking

at 2:17 he puts the guitar right up to the amp.
At 2:35 he literally picks up the amp and puts it ON top of him...
+1General CommentI hate to rain on anyone's parade here, but the title "Welcome To Bangkok" refers to the Van Damme movie Kickboxer. Google it or something.
+1General Commentthis song is absolute bliss. It's good old fashioned amazing old school heavy gratenss that literally cannot be beaten. Feedback to me is heaven on earth. I love the accoustics at the beginning and how it tricks you, then how it goes as heavy as possible, full on and how you can tell that the band put everything they have into it - you can see this even more live. The accoustics remind of touching down on a plane, walking out of the airport...and when it goes heavy - seeing the extent of Bangkok - the skyscrapers, the sheer modernisation of it, the culture, the heat - overwhelming, exciting, beautiful...you can just imagine them - wide eyed, amazed by it...it could even be the car ride to the hotel, and the end is when they get to the hotel, and it no longer feels like Bangkok.
+1General CommentThis song is like my ears are having sex on ecstacy. The layering and the screaming, and just the pure noise is just so intense.fullmetalfunkon January 07, 2011 Link
+1General CommentPoint1: There is screaming in the background.
Point2: Space Cadet IS a referance to the Deja artwork, but more the referance that he is 'lost' (Devil&God pulling him apart etc). I think it's his 'mission command' trying one last time to say, "Leave, this is your last chance. I don't think he STAYS, because the next track is Not the Sun!!! (I've been underground, I like it here(?))
Point 3: This song is him, landing in Hell. Kate dying in the crash, and then You Won't Know ends with "I'm dead and can't call you to tell you" (more or less).
Again, I'm just another asshole with a keyboard.
I think Vices is like, "Welcome to Hell...this Fox will show you to your room Mr.Bush!"GodInBirdson July 22, 2011 Link

Live rose to success on the strength of their anthemic music and idealistic, overtly spiritual songwriting, two hallmarks that earned the group frequent comparisons to U2. The group's roots stretched back to the early '80s, when future members Chad Taylor (guitar), Patrick Dahlheimer (bass), and Chad Gracey (drums) began playing together under the name "First Aid" while attending middle school in York, Pennsylvania. After losing an area talent contest, they decided to enlist singer Ed Kowalczyk, and as a foursome the group played under a series of names before settling on Publ... Read more

Hello all,
My name is Milos, and I am a new member of Think Atheist.
I figure I would do the polite thing and introduce myself, like so many others have done on here.
Compared to many of you, my story is pretty uneventful. Here goes...
I was born in Zemun, Serbia (the Socialist Federalist Republic of Yugoslavia at the time).
The main religion of Serbia is Orthodox Christian (Greek Orthodox i think), but since it was a communist country at the time, religion was never a big factor in life.
My father is sort of religious, he believes in god, but only goes to church once or twice a year, my mother on the other hand has been atheist all her life. She doesn't label herself as one, but her view on religion is atheist.
When my brother was born my father wanted him baptized, so it was done, but when I was born, my mother was strongly against me being baptized, so it was kind of like "You got one, I get one."
Both my brother and I were raised with no belief though. We were given a choice, and told to look at religion and the other alternatives, and in the end make our own decision on what we will believe. No surprise that we are both atheist.
During my time of trying to figure out where I fit in as far as belief goes, I gave religion a honest try. I truly wanted to believe, and tried praying and all that, even went to a church in my small town of Zemun Polje. But the more I thought about it, the less it made sense to me. So at a very young age, of 5 or 6, I knew that there is no god, devil, heaven or hell. It was all a lie. Also, finding out that Santa Claus is fake at the age of 4 helped too.
So during my childhood, religion was an afterthought, never really a big issue, until I came to Canada.
In grade 6, when I came to Canada, and was asked by fellow students if I believed in god, and I said that I don't, they thought that I was a devil worshipper. I was amazed that they did not understand that if you don't believe in one, the other one cancels itself out. So, during my schooling I heard plenty of "you're going to hell," and so on, but I knew there was no such thing, so it never bothered me. All my life I loved ancient history, so I was very familiar with old religions, and outdated beliefs, as well as things like the origin of species and pretty much many things I needed to disprove religion. On top of that, I had my moral code, ethics and general love for humanity that helped me through those times when I felt attacked because of my lack of belief.
I found solace in music, videogames, and mostly books, which all provided me with even more ammunition to fight back when provoked.
I was lucky enough to make a surprisingly large number of atheist friends in Canada, considering the size of my town, and number of churches. So, life went on without any problems or oppression.
Then I met my wife, and her uber religious Seventh Day Adventist family. The first question I was asked when I met her family was about my belief. And being true to my way of life, I answered honestly, and as expected receiving the typical questions about morality, Pascal's Wager, etc.
So that is my life in a nutshell, I am still trying to help my wife deal with her crazy family. She is also religious, although not as much as them. It is tough at times, because I have to hold back often when we discuss religion, because I want her to come to her own realization rather than feel that I am trying to convert her. I believe that it is slowly working. She agrees with a lot of science, to an extent even evolution, and stops the discussion when I get on a subject that is a blatant error in the religion, or just absurd. I feel like she knows the truth of it, but is too afraid to pursue it or admit it.
Hopefully in time she will be a member of this fine website as well.
Thank you for reading.

President Barack Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel participate in a joint news conference in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, Friday, May 2, 2014. Obama and Merkel are putting on a display of trans-Atlantic unity against an assert
Op-Ed, Boston Globe
May 8, 2014
Author: Nicholas Burns, Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Politics, Harvard Kennedy School
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: Middle East Initiative; The Future of Diplomacy Project
VLADIMIR PUTIN'S campaign to divide, destabilize, and dismantle Ukraine has reached a new phase with this week's surge of violence in the pivotal Black Sea port of Odessa. As bands of armed ethnic Russian brigands battle Ukrainian government security forces in cities big and small throughout eastern Ukraine, the stakes for the West become all the more clear.
Putin has a plan — disrupt Ukraine's May 25 presidential elections in order to delegitimize the interim government in Kiev. Moscow can then retain effective control over Ukraine's future. The American and European response — weak, disjointed, and ineffective — hasn't been nearly as impressive. All this matters because what happens in Ukraine is important to American interests in a still-vital Europe. Here are three reasons why.
First, Putin's success in Ukraine is resounding ominously in Central Europe — the countries once prisoners of the Warsaw Pact and, in the case of the three Baltic states, the Soviet Union itself. If he gets away with the destruction of a major state like Ukraine, what would stop him from destabilizing an even weaker Moldova? Might he then even be tempted to undermine NATO itself? By launching covert campaigns to incite the large ethnic Russian populations in NATO allies Estonia and Latvia, Putin could deliver a potentially devastating blow to NATO's credibility to safeguard the security of its members. Unless NATO confronts Putin with much tougher sanctions and a credible conventional force in the Baltics, he may calculate he could get away with it.
Second, Russia's intervention in Ukraine has thrown Washington's relationship with Moscow into a deep freeze. The Obama administration has tried working with a troublesome Moscow to curb Iran's nuclear program, secure Syria's chemical weapons, resupply America's army in Afghanistan, and stop Muslim terrorists. It is not at all certain Putin will continue to cooperate on these front-burner issues. As a result, while the United States and Russia may not be experiencing a new Cold War, they have resumed a long-term struggle for power in Europe. For someone whose first years in the American Foreign Service coincided with the battle against Soviet influence in the Middle East and Europe, it is surreal, indeed, to return to a modern variation of President Kennedy's "long twilight struggle."
Third, and most importantly, Putin's aggression challenges the entire architecture of the post-Cold War order — the Europe "whole, free, and at peace" proclaimed by President George H.W. Bush when the Soviet Union imploded in 1991. Europe subsequently enjoyed a historic peace as the ex-Soviet satellite states rushed to join NATO and the European Union with the knowledge that, sooner or later, a Greater Russian nationalist would return to reclaim Moscow's "near abroad." That person is Putin. As Russia builds new walls in Europe, Obama needs to pivot back to place Europe once more at the center of our global strategy.
American and European leaders, however, aren't on the same page. Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel failed to agree on tougher sanctions against Russia when they met in Washington last week. US and European economic aid to Kiev is insufficient. And NATO can't even agree on how to protect Poland and the Baltic states. The result is a series of weak, half-hearted measures that have failed to alter Putin's behavior in any meaningful way.
Obama is now confronted with the most serious international crisis of his presidency. As this week's Economist cover story warned, "Mr. Obama began his presidency with the world wondering how to tame America. Both he and his country need to realize that the question has changed."
Indeed, I heard a strikingly familiar refrain during recent visits to the Netherlands, Hong Kong, and Brazil. A surprising number of well-informed people — all friends of America — puzzled why Washington is no longer leading with its customary ambition and self confidence. They seemed to be saying: Where is American power and leadership when the world needs it most?

2013 Progress Report – Executive Summary
The Nanomedicine Center for Mechanobiology Directing the Immune Response strives to generate useful cellular components for immunotherapy applications. This effort builds on principles that were discovered in the preceding period using fibroblastoid, neural and immune cell systems. Our clinical collaboration with the immunotherapy group of Michael Milone at U. Penn and Carl June at the Abramson Cancer Center provides a clinical setting to test the utility of the culture systems developed by all NDC groups. The main tool used by the Abramson Cancer Center group is adoptive immunotherapy- growing billions of memory and effector T cells under cGMP conditions that are infused into patients to augment and focus immunity. We continue to focus on the application of mechanobiology principles to the immune response, fully working on projects that are directly aligned with the immunotherapy goals.
The control of T cell characteristics is limited and the current focus of our center is to establish conditions that can better control the types and number of T cells generated during the production phase to optimize benefit to the patient. The production of expanded populations capable of further proliferation after transfer and the development of memory cells correlates with the best in vivo results for tumor immunotherapy in animal models and patients. We are using mechanics to tune signal transduction pathway to balance rapid expansion in vitro while maintaining the capacity to replicate further in vivo. We are using immunology and systems biology tools to evaluate these complex phenotypes using in vivo effector and memory T cells from effective immune responses as a template. The key initiating event in T cell activation and differentiation is the formation of an immunological synapse, which integrates adhesion and antigen recognition. The tissue environment defined by fibroblastic reticular cells that generate a network of ECM fibers provide a physical scaffold for immunological synapse formation and differentiation. Engineering systems that provide more physiological mechanical cues may restore the balance between replication and replicative reserve. In the past year we have made a number of advances in these areas:
1. We showed that rigidity of the substrate used for immobilization of T cells activating ligands controls activation and proliferation of human T cells (1),
2. Using mouse T cells we also showed that their activation through CD3 and CD28 is sensitive to the mechanic
al properties of a substrate presenting ligands to these receptors (2).
3. We have developed an overall step-by-step protocol to integrate response to cell environment with molecular networks that can be used by a wider research community (3).
4. We have continued to develop the technology to generate T cell culture substrates with single molecules patterned at a nanoscale (4) and to visualize biomolecular interactions at the immune synapse with single molecule resolution (5). An important development of the center in the past year has been the expansion of its focus not only at the quantitative level (T cell expansion) but also at the qualitative level, aiming at understanding and manipulating the phenotype of human T cells in culture.
The strengths of our team are in integrating studies on the effects of biological forces on nanoscale assemblies in cells and the surrounding tissue structures and extracellular matrix. Having the optimization of the ex vivo generation of T cells for adoptive therapy, in addition to the published progress, every member has continued to have a key role in the past year adding to the center's progress. The majority of the groups at our center are now collaborating to apply and understand the effects of substrate rigidity on T cell activation and proliferation (Milone, Kam, Dustin, Hone, Wind, Geiger, Vogel, Bonneau, Sheetz and Hone Groups). The Sheetz, Dustin Kam, Geiger and Vogel labs are defining the nanoscale molecular mechanisms that account for effects of substrate rigidity on T cell activation and differentiation. The Bonneau, Dustin, June and Milone groups are collaborating on gene expression studies to link ex vivo expansion to key characteristics of in vivo memory. The Dustin, Sheetz, Wind, Dunlop, Wiggins, Geiger and Spatz groups are using single molecule imaging and patterning to explore fundamental requirements for T Cell Antigen Receptor and Chimeric Antigen Receptor ligands. The Hone, Wind, Vogel, Sheetz, Kam and Dunlop groups are currently testing a number of secondary candidates. The June group is preparing for the clinical trial by establishing control conditions and the technology needed to "bar code" the cellular products from the nano-engineered and standard of care culture systems. These activities will generate the data needed for key critical decision points regarding the lead and secondary candidates on our translational path.
The Nanomedicine Center for Mechanobiology Directing the Immune Response has refocused its multidisciplinary efforts on the problem of generating useful T cells for immunotherapy applications- including the successful expansion of anergic T cells from patients with hematopoietic malignancies like CLL and ALL. T cell anergy limits the number of patients who can be treated and we anticipate increasing with number by ~30% by improving the culture system. The NDC funded effort has been effectively re-targeted in the last year to the immune cell focus with all groups performing T cell based experiments as of this progress report. The PI's have coordinated this effort with the assistance of the Scientific Program Manager. The bi-weekly video conference continue to be an extremely useful platform to discuss progress by each group on a monthly basis (Round-robin format), where trainees from all groups give a short presentation on a monthly basis (to allow for sufficient time to discuss results and provide feedback, and have been helpful to exert a regular influence on the trainees in all centers - this has helped to control the activity in the center and keep the project groups on task. The increased fabrication of substrates is meeting the needs of the clinical collaborators such that in vivo experiments are now in progress both in the Dustin (mouse) and Milone (human) labs. Conversely, the Dustin group has been key in providing the knowledge to fabrication/chemistry groups on T cell isolation, culture and assays, as well as generating and providing essential protein reagents. The clinical collaborator labs – Milone and June – have been providing some of the T cells - donor cells – to complement human T cell analysis throughout the center. This is a very exciting time in mechanical biology and immunotherapy and our NDC is positioned to bridge these rapidly moving areas to generate synergistic discoveries with therapeutic potential.

WindPhotographs by Jungjin Lee
Availability: Out of stock
Wind showcases the newest work by internationally acclaimed Korean photographer Jungjin Lee. Known for her laborious, textural photographic process, Lee brushes liquid emulsion ("liquid light") onto the surface of handmade mulberry paper. The texture of the paper and the gestural marks of the brush stroke create a unique painterly effect, which is beautifully reproduced in this, Lee's first trade monograph.
Wind captures the ethereal quality of its namesake in a series of landscapes dominated by windswept expanses and foreboding cloud formations—panoramas that reveal an adventurous spirit, yet resist casual entry. Man-made objects, such as a dilapidated school bus, an old ruin whose ceiling is open to the sky, or wind-blown prayer flags, frequently appear marked by powerful, invisible elements. Metaphors for an internal state of being and the forces that shape it, Lee's Wind landscapes are imbued with an elemental vastness, at once powerful and serene.
A preface by Vicki Goldberg offers insight into Lee's background and discusses the essential nature of the landscape, and an essay by Eugenia Parry addresses the tension inherent in symbolizing what cannot be seen.
Published in collaboration with SEPIA International.
Jungjin Lee (born in 1961, raised in Seoul) taught herself photography in the 1980s and earned an M.A. from New York University in 1992. Her books include Jungjin Lee: Beyond Photography (2000), On Road/Ocean (2001), Thing (2005), and Jungjin Lee (2006). Her work has been widely exhibited, and is in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts in Houston; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe; and various prestigious institutions in Korea.
Vicki Goldberg (preface), one of the leading voices in the field of photography criticism, wrote about photography for the New York Times for thirteen years, and her writing is regularly featured in publications, such as Vanity Fair and American Photographer. She has authored and co-authored more than twenty books on the subject and is a recipient of the International Center of Photography's Infinity Award for Writing.
Eugenia Parry (essay), formerly professor of art history at Wellesley College and the University of New Mexico, has published and lectured widely on the histories of art and photography. Her numerous awards include a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts in creative nonfiction.

Sunday Night's Summit League Recap: Coyotes Stumble, Jacks Rout Western Illinois
The Arena felt like home for South Dakota's area teams on Sunday.
Two of the three teams advanced to Monday's semifinals, while the South Dakota State women had a bye into today's action.
In the first game of the night, the Coyote men were hoping a little home cooking would help lead them to victory over Denver, but bad possessions doomed them, as they fell 71 to 55.
Denver captured their first Summit League tournament win in their first appearance. It was also the second time in seven years that a four seed has beat a five seed.
Going into the second half, USD was down six, 36 to 32, but everytime the Coyotes inched closer, the Pioneers had an answer. With 11:40, USD cut the lead to five, but Denver didn't let up. Soon, senior Trevor Gruis picked up his fourth foul with 7:45, but stayed in the game.
As time ticked away for the Coyotes, the Pioneers built a 58 to 47 lead by hitting a big three. With 3:44 to go, USD's Karim Rowson stole the ball away and went coast-to-coast for a jam to trail 60 to 50. While the Coyotes were hoping for a momentum swing, Denver answered again with another deep three. The Pioneers extended their lead with two to play 65 to 50, and shortly after, Gruis fouled out. The Ellworth, Minnesota native received a big ovation, and said in the post game he is thankful for his time at USD.
"We would have liked to extend our season, it was tough and emotional, and we left it all on the court."
Gruis scored 12 points in his final game for USD, while Brandon Bos led USD in scoring with 13 points.
Leading the way for Denver was Brett Olson, whose dad played at USD. Olson played all 40 minutes, scoring 20 points and dishing out five assists. The junior guard was the Coyotes kryptonite all season; in three games against USD, he had 22, 30, and 20 points.
Chris Udofia was limited to one point and two rebounds. While Udofia was held in check, the Pioneers used their quickness down low, and aggressiveness on defense against the Coyotes offense.
Denver faces North Dakota State at 6 p.m. on Monday night.
The Jackrabbits men faced the Leathernecks of Western Illinois in the second game of Sunday's night session.
A lot of blue filled the stands, as the two teams collided. The pace was fast early, and Western Illinois started off strong, leading 11 to 5 at the 14:27 mark. But late in the first, with the help of the "home" crowd, the Jackrabbits hurried the Western Illinois offense, and created turnovers. At half, SDSU led 26 to 23. Marcus Heemstra had three big field goals late in the first that helped give the Jackrabbits momentum for the second half.
After halftime, SDSU scored five consecutive points, and had a 10-0 run later, creating a 20 point lead by the 10:24 mark.
SDSU defeated Western Illinois, 71 to 50. The Jackrabbits were led by Brayden Carlson with 13 points. Garret Covington led the Leathernecks in scoring with 14 points.
SDSU plays at 8:30 on Monday night against IUPUI.
Monday night also broke a Summit League attendance record, drawing 6, 647 fans.

SEC564: Red Team Operations and Threat Emulation Waitlist
Tue, December 12 - Wed, December 13, 2017
Formalizing the process of red teaming and of automating the testing of defensive security capabilities is an accelerator to any security program.
SEC564 gives me the tools and structure to organize, plan, and execute red team engagements.
This course provides the foundation needed to manage and operate a Red Team and conduct Red Team engagements. What is Red Teaming? Red Teaming is the process of using tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to emulate a real-world threat with the goals of training and measuring the effectiveness of people, processes and technology used to defend an environment.
Red Teaming is built on the fundamentals of penetration testing, yet focuses on specific scenarios and goals used to evaluate and measure an organization's overall security defense posture. That posture includes people, processes, and technology. This course will explore Red Teaming concepts in depth to provide a clear understanding of what a Red Team is and its role in Security Testing.
Organizations spend a great deal of time and money on the security of their systems. Red Teaming uses a comprehensive approach to gain insight into an organization's overall security. Red Teams have a unique goal of testing an organization's ability to detect, respond to, and recover from an attack. When properly conducted, Red Team activities significantly improve an organization's security controls, help hone defensive capabilities, and measure the effectiveness of security operations.
The Red Team concept requires a different approach from a typical security test, and it relies heavily on well-defined tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). These are critical if a Red Team is to successfully emulate a realistic threat or adversary. Red Team results exceed a typical list of penetration test vulnerabilities, provide a deeper understanding of how an organization would perform against an actual threat, and identify where security strengths and weaknesses exist.

Authors' Statement
"A great deal of time and money are spent on protecting critical digital assets. Many organizations focus their security testing on compliance or limited scope reviews of a system. These limited tests often leave an organization with a false sense of security. Organizations that open themselves to assessment not only of their technology, but also of their people and processes, can significantly improve their security posture and adjust a limited security budget to protect their most critical assets. Scenario-based testing and Red Team techniques can be used to determine how an organization really stands up to a realistic and determined threat."
- Joe Vest and James Tubberville

I suppose it would appear that I used to make purses, past tense. I certainly haven't posted any lately. Wendy was so sweet to tell me today she missed seeing bags popping up around my blog. I did go through a little burn out and had no interest in making purses for a while. I just needed a little break, a little change of scenery if you will but fall is right around the corner and I have new ideas swirling around. I got back into the swing of things last week and made a backpack purse but couldn't post about it because it was part of a swap and I wanted it to be a surprise. LLA received her package today so I can post pictures.
For some reason I had a difficult time getting a good picture of this. If I used a dark background it disappeared and it looks kind of bla to me against this white background. Oh well...
I commented to LLA how much I loved spa washcloths she knitted and she suggested a swap. She wanted a new purse but left the details up to me. She had been carrying a backpack so I decided to go with that style since it was working for her and incorporated the patchwork because... I love me some patchwork. I wanted to personalize it but I know not everyone likes a busy monogram so I went with a tone on tone for the embroidery.
I don't remember who commented on who's site first. It seems like I've been visiting her blog and she mine since I first started blogging and we've formed a friendship through emails. Both southern girls, we've found we have lots in common and were both excited to find a fellow southern blogger since so many seem to be way across the country or way across the ocean. That friendship made this swap extra special.
Speaking of special, that's how I felt today when I got the mail. Lindsey of Yankee Girl Designs sent me sweet little cheer up package to let me know she was thinking about me after the rough week I had with Madden. The super talented Lindsey sent me a ring to match the home sweet home necklace I ordered from her awesome sight. She wrapped the ring and a sweet little pack of mini colored pencils in a vintage hankie. Thank you so much Lindsey. I am blown away! Really.
