Almarc Drugs, a fixture in downtown New Rochelle, NY since 1979 is closing its doors for good on April 19th after 33 years. The company's flagship location is at 507 Main Street in New Rochelle. Almarc has a second location at 2127 Palmer Avenue in Larchmont, NY.
Employees speaking on condition of anonymity told Talk of the Sound they were informed yesterday that the company had been acquired by CVS and will be closed in two weeks. The price tag for the sale of the two stores including the buildings is said to be around $24 million. A manager at the Almarc Drugs store in New Rochelle declined to comment.Read more
If New Rochelle officials ever wondered why New Rochelle residents do not trust the real estate developers who, in exchange for grand but vague promises, are offered generous tax abatements, coddled by the New Rochelle IDA, offered public property giveaways and granted repeated MOU extensions despite a complete lack of progress on developing projects, they need to look no further than the once active apartment building at the corner of North Avenue and Anderson Street.
The building known as "5 Anderson" is a monument to the unreliability of promises from real estate developers and the gullibility of city officials when dealing with them.
In never before seen photos of the interior of 5 Anderson (after the jump), obtained exclusively by Talk of the Sound, the utter devastation of the building is clear. Every single room, in every single apartment has been gutted and otherwise left unusable. Exterior photos show the faded remains of window treatments installed under the terms of a 2010 MOU extension obtained by Cappelli Enterprises under the condition they beautify the outside of the building and address various code violations. Additional photos in the slideshows below.Read more

What is the gender neutral they and why does it matter?
In English, the most commonly used pronouns are he, she, they, and it. Although English does not have a designated personal pronoun for a gender-neutral or subject of unknown gender, "they" has long been an English speaker's go-to for many situations. When "they" is used to signal a single person, this usage isn't always considered "proper" English grammar since "they" is more frequently used as the plural pronoun.
However, as a Writing Center consultant, I am a big advocate for the gender neutral "they."
For starters, other substitutes can be clunky and awkward in both speech and text. Substitutes such as "he/she" don't read easily, but also are limiting. Other substitutes, like mixing the use of "she" and "he" throughout the text can cause confusion and require extra thought to balance out the usage. "They," despite its grammatical origins, works as an easy-to-read substitute.
However, there are other more pressing reasons to use the gender neutral they.
Using "he/she" or arbitrarily assigning a gender to an individual can be limiting and potentially harmful. Not all individuals identify as male or female, and some may even identify as both or neither. Using "he/she" erases nonbinary gender identities, while using "they" is open and inclusive. When in doubt, I always use they as both a default pronoun and to be more inclusive than the traditional "he/she." (For further information about gender identities, see this interactive booklet).

Chronic mental stress supplies the repetitive stimulation required for induction of ganglionic long-term potentiation (gLTP), which enhances impulses to blood vessels leading to vasoconstriction and hypertension. Treatment with 5-HT3 receptor antagonists normalizes blood pressure in chronically stressed animals. It is noteworthy to mention that such mechanism may be only one of several other contributing mechanisms in the development of hypertension.

The Girls of 'Jersey Boys'
Lauren DeCierdo, Kara Tremel and Denise Payne are the only females in the cast of "Jersey Boys."
Together the three women play 52 different characters in the show, and they are an integral part of the storyline about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.
"I think when people come see the show, they don't know the story of the Four Seasons," Payne said. "But they obviously know the music."
Payne believes "Jersey Boys" is a deeper look into the story of the Four Seasons, which often surprises most audiences.
Tremel describes "Jersey Boys" as magical. She said there is something special about the combination of the classic music, the storyline, the direction, the set and the lights.
"It all comes together to make something absolutely magical," Tremel said.
DeCierdo said that each actor is used, named and directed in such a way that every member of the ensemble has a purpose and is important to the production.
"I've been doing this for three years and I'm not sick of it; I absolutely love it," Tremel said. "And I'm proud of it, proud to be a part of it."

Here`s one of my folk art creations…the birds are husked butternut tree nuts that are carved and painted , i try to match them to the wildbirds that come to my feeder. The 3 top ones are wrens, bottom left-chickadee and right- yellow finch. The back piece is a weathered poplar board from the local sawmill. All the woods are natural… No stain ! Cherry and black walnut, red cedar door mat, white oak porch, sliced butternut wreath on door, carved bone door handle and star. These creations bring a smile to anyone who looks at them…I also make the pencil holders using natural tree limbs but these farmhouses are a big hit.

When I was studying basic science I did some volunteer work in a Brooklyn emergency room. It was my first close-up look at the workings of the human body and I was fascinated by it. I loved interacting with the patients and marveled at the way modern medicine could help restore health in life-threatening situations. Rather than being taken aback by the images of trauma I was drawn in by the vulnerability of the people who were brought in for care. There is often a tenderness and presence that emerges when people are in great need, qualities that are often put aside in everyday life.
I can remember only two times during those years when I was disturbed by what took place in the ER. The emergency room was a place bustling with conversation and activity. One morning on arriving at the hospital, rather than being greeted with enthusiasm by the nurses I had come to know and respect, I was met with a somber silence. I noticed some movement behind a curtain in a treatment room at the far end of the hallway. I made my way over there and standing outside of the room I announced my presence.
"Come In."
Pulling back the curtain I saw a young hospital worker mopping blood off the floor next to a gurney.
He was pensive and slowly performing his task.
"What happened," I asked.
"Suicide," he said. "Couldn't save him."
"Where are the nurses?"
"A few are dealing with intakes. The ones who were here, well… they're taking a break. It was a tough one."
Even though I hadn't been part of the attempt to save the man's life I was privy to the effects of what happened, almost as an afterthought. It was an emotional reflection of what took place that morning. It affected me deeply for days.
I was shaken one other time by an experience in the emergency room. A young child had been brought in who had been struck by a car. We suspected that the girl was severely hurt by the trauma and quickly performed diagnostic tests. Surprisingly, after overcoming the initial shock she appeared to be in perfect health. The child not only survived the incident but was released the same day. While I was relieved by the outcome I was left with an uneasy feeling. This was a child. Somehow this sort of thing was not supposed to happen to children. The children who died last Friday morning in Newtown, Connecticut were not so fortunate. As the news of the tragedy spread, these same words were whispered throughout our nation. This is not supposed to happen to children.
Today the airwaves are filled with speculations about how the misfortune that befell a small town in Connecticut last week can be prevented in the future. Talk of gun control and mental health. While they are all worthy discussions it is likely that nothing could have changed the course of events last week at Sandy Hook Elementary. In the silence that emerges when all these speculations are done, a quiet space envelops us all and we are left with grief. It holds us without words.
We are now in a time of deep winter, experiencing the longest nights of the year. It would not be wise—or possible—for nature to rush ahead to secure the longer days of spring. Can we follow nature's lead, allowing this painful event to work through us, waiting until the light of our collective wisdom is revealed? Short of walling off every school with armed guards at the perimeter, there is no guarantee that we will be immune to suffering of this kind. Let us not wall off our hearts in this moment in an attempt to make sense of what happened last Friday. At this time when we all feel the wave of deep sadness that moves through our nation, we can have the courage to keep our hearts open. We can move forward with this open heart into a richer, more connected and more compassionate life.

Say it ain't so! It seems that Apple is responding to the recent spate of iPhone hacks, third party applications, and unlocks in a rather unsavory manner. The company is reportedly "blacklisting" hacked devices that are brought in for service and/or return. According to a customer who experienced the wrath of Apple's increasingly evil empire, he was informed that because his phone had been unlocked without Apple's consent, it was blacklisted and therefore ineligible for return, service, or replacement. Bummer! To be fair, the customer was eventually able to return the phone (minus a 10% restocking fee), but the process involved several exchanges with the store's manager. The important thing to note, however, is that unless the employees that initially denied the man service were acting our of company line, Apple now has an official policy in place to deal with hacked iPhones. Not cool. Thankfully most of the popular modifications are easily reversed by way of a software restore, but the trend is disturbing nonetheless. Come on, Apple!
Welcome to the beautifil world of end user license agreements.
iPhone users AGREE not to hack their iPhones accepting the EULA, so if you breach…Apple can do pretty much what ever they want, INCLUDING not returning your phone.
But hey! It's the iPhone!!! it's so cool!
I wonder how long it will take for people to snap out of the media hype and actually rate the iphone for what it really is.
ya didn't see this COMING?
are ya STUPID?
you had to know apple would do this didn't you? Didn't You?? DIDN'T YOU ??!!??
sorry…but even I saw this coming down the pike…
where's all the IPhone love now hunh???
but I could be wrong…maybe we apple is overreacting…
God knows I'm doing crazy stuff to my iPhone, but I sure don't expect to take it back if I violate the warranty. If you want to hack, you should be prepared to deal with the consequences, not go running back like a little kid saying "Fix!"
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
Yo nitwits…
I am not familiar with any company that will let you fool with the internal workings of their product and be happy about it. Especially if the fooling screws them out of money in some way (i.e. loss of kickback money from AT&T).
Are you really that big of an idiot?
Would you let someone hack your product if you owned the company?
Usually Named
Swapping chips on cars voids warranties — so how is this different?
Jeff B.
I'm amazed we didn't hear about this sooner. It took apple this long to do something about it, amazing. You'd think JOBS would've gone on a press spree and said "anybody who hacks the iPhone will get screwed in the ass by me personally, sorry what I mean is blacklisted. No screwed in the ass, yea that more disturbing."
And just like that….
Google's *Do no evil* approach gains in popularity…
More stock gains… :-)
This makes me glad that I'm a RIM consumer and customer of T-Mobile. I know a lot of people on here bash T-Mobile for not having 3G, RIM for the same reason, etc. Say what you will about T-Mobile, they remain probably the most consumer-centric, consumer-friendly carrier. When I upgraded my OS to a non-T-Mobile OS (I'm one of those people who upgrades my OS as soon as a new one gets posted on the BlackBerryForums), they didn't even balk at it. The representative I initially talked to and the tech that I helped were both seemingly impressed that I did the upgrade, and the tech walked me through the issue.
(To be fair, I do happen to be a customer of AT&T for my DSL, but not for wireless.)
You know, it's Apples' product. They can build it the way they want to. But there's also a thing we often forget called Fair Use. The exact definition of Fair Use is more in question these days than it ever has been. What constitues Fair Use? It's certainly not a black-and-white line-in-the-sand type of issue, I admit. I would argue that Fair Use gives one the right to hack their iPhone, but Apple is under no (legal) obligation to service them. However, where Apple won't, some other company will. So I would further argue that it would be in Apple's better (financial) interests to charge a price for servicing hacked iPhones rather than let some company pick up the financial benefits.
And @ Usually Named, that's not entirely true. Speaking from experience, I have a high performance chipset in my Ford F250SD. It doesn't automatically void the warranty, that's a minor misnomer. It does mean, however, that a dealership is not obligated to fix it, but the choice ultimately is theirs to make. I have found only one dealership that didn't service Duke (my truck) out of concern over the chip. I went to another dealership and they did. (And I still use them today.)
Christopher Cox
How is it uncool? It is in the license of the iphone (and any other phone) that you can't do that. I don't care what phone it is … if you flash an unsupported firmware to it, it will instantly void your warranty and make it not eligable for returns. So how is this different? We live with it on every other phone, but because it is iPhone all of a sudden it is stupid? Give me a break.
Isn't there a new law in place that a cellular provider that sells you a cell phone must provide an unlock code upon request?
Christopher Cox
I don't care what carrier you are from. If you purchase a phone (even from tmobile), you have a 14 day grace period in which you can return the phone. During that 14 days, if Tmobile finds that you hacked the firmware, I will GUARANTEE that they will not take the return back, nor will they survice it by swapping out the unit with something else. The moment they started doing that, would be the moment Tmobile loses money due to tinkerers who know they can purchase a tmobile phone, they can return it and get their money back. Tmobile would lose so much money because you know the vendors of said phones would not take them back. As good as Tmobile is in customer service, they are not in the business to lose money. Tmobile may not have blacklisted the phone, but I seriously doubt the customer would have gotten their money back or be allowed to return it.
Christopher Cox
I think I heard something about a law allowing a customer to unlock your phone after contract. I know AT&T will if you call their support line after 2 years is up. You may be able to unlock it also if you pay full RETAIL price for the phone without contract at the $800 or whatever it is, but it would not make much sense to allow it during a contract, because the carrier loses money on the phones by providing it to you for cheap, but gaining it back during your term as a contracted customer. So allowing unlock during contract your contract, in which the carrier recoups its lost money on the cheap phone sale would be idiotic on their part, because they would lose money. There should be no reason to unlock during contract term unless you were thinking of jumping ship.
Jeff B.
I went to at&t and the guys there said it WON'T void your warranty if you flashed a new OS on to it (i.e. WM5 on Blackjack to leaked WM6) because it is still an OS and it would be only an upgrade to your current OS.
If I am wrong correct me, but that's what I got out of the guys at my local AT&T store.
Christopher Cox
For one thing, the guys in the AT&T store are morons and know absolutely nothing about the internal workins of the organization. The are last to know anything, and will tell you whatever to make the sale or make you happy. Most people here will attest to the idiocy of in-store workers.
And second, it WILL void you warranty if you flash the OS with an UNSUPPORTED OS. WM6 made by AT&T may be okay even though it was leak, but if you install an OS made by any of the other hacking groups, you will never get support. A long time before WM6 was announced by AT&T, people were using WM6 by installing hacked versions by other groups. When you downloaded the software, you were warned by the group that it would void your warranty.
I had an iPaq 5455 a while ago, where I updated the OS on it, and HP would not even look at it because it had an unsupported version. AT&T is the same way. I know its not AT&T, but the TMobile rep warned me against installing WM6 (even though it was tmobile leak) because it would void my warranty. And if Tmobile, being a less restrictive company, will take this stance, you can bet a more restrictive one like AT&T will take the same stance and stab you in the back for doing it.
Never trust an AT&T store rep without verifying it through a representative at AT&T over the phone. While they can be idiots too, they are more trustworthy than the guys who get minimal training at the store.
Jeff B.
Called att earlier and the same thing on the phone: flashing on a new OS won't void your warranty since its still an OS. Unless you get the Prez of att to say it, you still can't be certain since not just the store reps are morons but have you ever called att? Everybody who works there is a moron.
Christopher Cox
Yes that is true, most people at AT&T stores are morons. BUT, taking back units that have been tinkered with (harware modification OR unsupported software ones) is something that puts a company in a bad position because of the people that will take advantage of it. I am certain they won't take it back, not because I heard it from a retarded rep, but because it would be stupid for them to take it back, for the same reason that MOST companies wouldn't.
Chris Crews
1. re hashing the same story everyone else is, Lame.
2. The guy who went to Apple without 'restoring' his iPhone is an idiot.
3. As for blacklisting, it's been long known that Apple keeps a 'secret' rating on customers, that sap's number just went down or up however they keep score.
So I wonder when it comes time to replace the battery will we have to restore the iphone to factory defaults in order not to be blacklisted?
Just get a contract with at&t already! I can't see how all the hassle pays off.
Lucky I don't own ove even rim let's yopu mod firmware an unlock the phone even moto but apple NO and they treat this like it's a cdma phone instead of gsm.
Marc Fogel
You can bet your hacked iPhone all of this will be challenged in court. Look out, here come the lawyers. Which may not be a bad thing. I put clear screen protector on my iphone. I wonder if I voided the warranty.
i don't see why this is even noteworthy. if you're going to make the choice to futz with your iphone, be prepared to…
– restore it before taking it anywhere near an apple store.
– wait for others to try new itunes or firmware versions before doing so yourself.
i can only speak for myself, but it was worth it to unlock it & use my t-mo sim because i'm month-to-month (no contract) and i get free t-mo wifi hotspot access with their edge data plan (unlimited for $20/mo). i'm not stuck with an at&t contract/etf and all i miss functionally is visual voicemail, which is no big deal to me.
Total agreement with Cracka… among others who brought up this point as well.
If you are able to hack your iPhone, wouldn't you be smart enough to try a system restore before you bring it in or call a Tech?
People who don't have that "Common Sense" chip in their mind deserve to get Blacklisted.

IADT- Seattle Expands its Curriculum to High Growth Fields
Seattle, WA, September 18, 2007 - The International Academy of Design & Technology in Seattle (IADT - Seattle) announced two brand new programs that will launch on October 8, 2007. The Fashion Merchandising program will award both an Associate of Applied Science and a Bachelor of Fine Arts. The Game Design & Development program will award a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
IADT is offering these new programs due to the increased demand from students who want career training in these very popular fields.The gaming and interactive software industry is growing every year, and game designers exercise a unique blend of art and design skills as well as robust technology expertise. The IADT program has been developed to hone and integrate design talent and technology skills so that a student can successfully meet the demands of a career in the field of Game Design and Development. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook for 2006-2007 cites the growing need for multimedia artists and animators - a demand that will continue to increase as consumers demand ever more realistic computer video games, 3D animation in the movies, and on television.
According to Visual Communication Program and Game Design & Development Chair Greg Anderson, "We worked to create a curriculum that includes in-depth work in the creative aspects of design as well as the technical proficiencies that go into successful game design and development. Our graduates will be able to compete in the marketplace with the right set of skills for this emerging arena."
IADT's new Fashion Merchandising program was developed for students who are interested in the fashion industry, but who are not designers. IAD -Seattle has been offering a Fashion Design program since its opening in 2004, and the new programs in Fashion Merchandising offer students a strong foundation in apparel development – from design concept, to marketing, to sales. The intent of the Fashion Merchandising program is to help students develop a keen eye for design, as well as an instinct for what will sell. Professionals in merchandising must assess market trends and the buyer's needs, develop business plans, manage the buying process, and keep a watchful eye on order fulfillment.
Monir Zandghoreishi, Fashion Design and Merchandise Program Chair at IADT Seattle had this to say about the new program, "Fashion is much more than the fabrics, shapes, colors, textures, and styles that are used to create great garments. Fashion merchandisers make decisions about industry trends, market forecasting and demand, what will sell, and what consumers will buy. I am so proud of our program because it prepares students for industry jobs that complement the work of fashion designers and helps to make our industry strong."
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an associate or bachelor's degree is required for most entry-level positions in fashion. A two or four-year degree from a well-qualified fashion design school will provide new entrants with the best chances of obtaining jobs in the field.
IADT has a national reputation for delivering educational programs created to help students find opportunities and launch successful careers. In addition to Fashion Merchandising and Game Design & Development, IADT Seattle offers programs in Fashion Design, Interior Design, Graphic Design, Visual Communications, and Digital Media Production.
About IADT – Seattle
The International Academy of Design & Technology provides educational programs that are designed to prepare students for professional opportunities and career success in select design and technology fields. At IADT, students are part of an energetic community that shares ideas, solves problems, and finds new ways to approach work today and in the future. While enrolled at IADT, each student is given an opportunity to grow vocationally, intellectually and professionally.
The Seattle campus of IADT, which opened in 2004, offers a variety of Associate of Applied Science and Bachelor of Fine Arts Degrees in Fashion Design, Interior Design, Visual Communication, Graphic Design, Digital Media Production, Fashion Merchandising and Game Design & Development.

Forklift Gear
Gears for Forklift - One of the more common types of pump for hydraulic fuel power applications is the gear pump. The gear pump functions by using the meshing gears so as to pump fluid by displacement. These devices are even usually utilized in order to pump fluids with precise velocities in chemical installations. Two main types of gear pumps are available. Internal gear pumps make use of an an internal and an external spur gear and external gear pumps make use of two external spur gears. Gear pumps pump a continuous amount of fluid for each revolution. This defines them as fixed or positive displacement. Several gear pump machines are designed to function as either a pump or a motor.

Miracle in the Andes
In October 1972, a plane carrying a Uruguayan rugby team crashed in the Andes. Not immediately rescued, the survivors turned to cannibalism to survive, and were saved after 72 days. Survivor, and rugby team member Nando Parrado has written a beautiful story of friendship, tragedy and perseverance. In the Andes, with a fractured skull, eating the flesh of his teammates and friends, Parrado calmly ponders the cruelties of fate, the power of the natural world and the possibility of continued existence in his book, Miracle in the Andes.
I would live from moment to moment and from breath to breath, until I had used up all the life I had.
Parrado, who has been giving inspirational talks based on his experiences for the last 10 years, lost his mother and sister in the crash. Struggling to stay alive, his beloved father becomes his guide as "each stride brought me closer to my father. Each step I took was stolen back from death."
More than a companion to the 1970s bestselling chronicle of the disaster, this fresh, gripping page-turner will satisfy adventure readers and a complex reflection on camaraderie, family and love.
Lynn Nutwell, Fairfax City Regional Library, VA.
Adult/High School–In 1972, Parrado and his rugby teammates from Uruguay were flying to Chile to play a match against the national team. Crossing the Andes, the aircraft crashed on a remote, high-altitude, glaciated slope. This remarkable story of the survivors omits none of the raw intensity and brutality of their experience but is burnished by time, casting an analytical perspective on ways in which their subsequent lives were influenced by the ordeal. The many forms of courage exhibited and the sustaining power of love of family are the basis of the narrative as the group supported one another in a collective refusal to surrender to the mountain. Parrado credits their physical conditioning and the rigorous team ethic inherent in the sport as the foundation for the trust and allegiance that enabled the men to battle the odds....
Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors is a 1974 book by Piers Paul Read documenting the events of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. Alive tells the story of the Uruguayan Rugby team, and their friends and family who were involved in a plan crash in the Andes mountains on October 13, 1972. Of the 45 people who embarked on the flight, only 16 survived the crash, and resorted to cannibalism in order to survive. It was published two years after the survivors were rescued.
"I was given a free hand in writing this book by both the publisher and the sixteen survivors. At times, I was tempted to fictionalize certain parts of the story because this might have added to their dramatic impact, but in the end, I determined that the bare facts were sufficient to sustain the narrative. When I returned in October 1973 to show them the manuscript of this book, some of them were disappointed by my presentation of their story. They felt that the faith and friendship that inspired them in the cordillera do not emerge from these pages. It was never my intention to underestimate these qualities, but perhaps it would be beyond the skill of any writer to express their own appreciation of what they lived through."

Influencing Metacognition Through Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning: Lessons Learned From a Faculty Learning CommunityLearning Communities Journal (2010)
AbstractOver an academic year, five faculty and one staff member from diverse disciplines at Boise State University formed a faculty learning community (FLC). Meeting in-person twice a month, the community members worked to complete scholarly group and individual learning projects. Metacognition emerged as a theme and goal for collaborative computer-supported learning activities. They developed a model that fostered metacognition within the FLC as well as in student-focused learning projects. Overall, the projects illustrate the model and how faculty can influence metacognition though computer-supported collabora- tive learning. Specific applications and suggestions to promote learning are included.

If you've run out of OCD meds and can't use your iPhone because the fingerprint smudges are more than you can bear, don't throw it (or yourself) off the bridge just yet.
Ivyskin's "Xylo Touch Thru (T2)" hard-shell polycarbonate case may not banish all greasy prints, but it will at least keep them from the iPhone's screen surface, according to Dvice. That's because the case covers the display as well as the body of the phone, using "Surface Xylo Wave" technology that claims to send ultrasonic signals from your fingers through a clear shield.
Or you can get some "iPhone Fingers" and risk being mistaken for a cyborg.

Dana - posted on 04/21/2010 ( 84 moms have responded )
I assume everyone by now knows who Kate Gosselin is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Gossel...
She just ended her run on Dancing with the Stars and is starting a new reality series. I have been shocked that people have attacked her the past few months and still continue to do so for doing these programs. My opinion is, is that she's got 8 kids with a man who is pretty much a dead beat dad. How on earth is she supposed to support 8 kids without raking in on her 15 minutes of fame. It has been reported that it will cost her 8 million dollars to raise these children modestly and that is without college tuition. Why is she being attacked for being a working mom by other working moms?

Educational institutions and social networks are the worst when it comes to leaving their Web sites exposed to known vulnerabilities, with health care and banks doing the best, according to a study by WhiteHat Security.
According to its 11th annual Web Site Security Statistics Report, 71% of schools have unpatched software vulnerabilities on their Web servers all the time, while 58% of social networking sites always have such vulnerabilities. By contrast, 14% of health care organizations and 16% of banks have unpatched vulnerabilities all the time. The average for all business sectors was 44%.
IN DEPTH: What do security auditors really think?
Banks also showed well in the percentage that had vulnerabilities less than 30 days per year, with a measure of 51%. Financial services was No. 2 with 22%, the report says. The average was 16%.
WhiteHat's data was drawn from 400 businesses who outsource Web site vulnerability management to the firm.
Banks did well in the overall number of vulnerabilities they had during the year, with an average of 30. The average for all business sectors was 230. Retail stores faced the highest number of vulnerabilities with 404, WhiteHat says.
"While no industry approached anywhere near zero for an annual average, banking, health care and manufacturing performed the best out of all the industries with 30, 33 and 35 serious vulnerabilities respectively per Web site during 2010 for a rough average of 2.5 or so vulnerabilities per month," the WhiteHat report says. "On the opposite end of the spectrum, Retail, Financial Services and Telecommunications, whose Web sites had the most reported issues, measured 404, 266 and 215 serious vulnerabilities per site -- or between 18 and 34 per month."
Simply being exposed doesn't accurately indicate the likelihood a site will suffer an attack, the report says. Some types of vulnerabilities appear more often. For example, the chances that information leakage and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities show up on a Web site are 64%; the chances for content spoofing are No. 3 with 43%, the report says.
The other seven vulnerabilities in the top 10, in order, are cross-site request forgery, brute force, insufficient authorization, predictable resource location, SQL injection, session fixation and abuse of functionality, WhiteHat says.
The time it takes to fix vulnerabilities once they are identified is a key measure of site security, WhiteHat says. Banking does best there, with half of its vulnerabilities remediated within 13 days. Telecommunications sites are the worst, with it taking 205 days to remediate half of its Web site vulnerabilities, the report says. The average across all businesses is 116 days.
"From a risk management perspective, if the organization is a target of opportunity, perhaps a goal of being at or above average is good enough," the report says. "If, however, the organization is a target of choice, either ASAP or being among the fastest is more appropriate."

Now that the new features are complete is the OpenOffice team planning on making and changes to the User Interface?
the UI in OO isn't the easiest to use by any means. I don't think they should make it look like Office 2007 as that's pretty confusing itself, but if they could get it up on par with how Office 2003 is it would make it a lot easier to get Joe Six Pack to use it.
Open office UI is a clone of MS Office in 90% of use
People like what is familiar...
How do you want the UI to behave differently? You said NOT like MS office 2007?
Its often easy to say 'I want the the UI to be improved' but how SPECIFICALLY do you want it changed? Have you submitted this request to OOo? If you dont tell them, you cant expect them to make the change :-)
How do you want the UI to behave differently? You said NOT like MS office 2007?
Like for example to add new colors or gradients to the available selections, you have to close the selection dialog and goto Format->Area...Colors, Add. Sure, it's easy enough to do, but for the first several weeks I thought that OpenOffice didn't allow custom colors or gradients.
And I remember my boss had a weird habit of starting formulas on spreadsheets with the + sign instead of the = sign. It worked in MS Office, but not in OOo, and he would put his fist through the screen when it didn't work.
Oh well, live and learn.
Maybe not majority but a lot more than I would've had expected.
People are now buying the Home and Student edition with new computers at Best Buy and I can't blame them.
For $150 they get their office software needs taken care of.
I hope they let us turn off the stupid context sensitive toolbars now.
The toolbars pop up and move the whole page down and it jumps.
It's really stupid.
And no, you can't fix that with custom toolbars.
And the blurry fonts if you enable bytecode rendering on Linux, was also a major blunder.
Those two basically made using Oo very unpleasant.

The problem is nothing new for me as I've also had issues with knuckle joint dust covers and a few other parts. Reading this link on The Mini Forum, it seems that it's a problem for many others also. So far I've bought handbrake gaiters from the two big retailers; Mini Sports and Mini Spares and both turned out to be of same poor quality, deteriorating to the point of failure very quickly. In the past, when I've rung to inquire about the issue, retailers just pass the blame onto their suppliers and say they're looking into the problem, but there's not a lot that they can do!
The argument is that customers demand cheap parts, so suppliers make and supply cheap parts! It's market forces at work!! It's just that somewhere in the mix, all notion of quality has been thrown out of the window, apparently because we customers are too stingy to pay for anything better!!! To make matters worse, this problem seems to have been rattling on for years now.
It might seem that the future of classic parts looks a little bleak then... is this the path we are set to go down, where things get worse and worse because nobody is willing to pay for anything better. Well, hopefully not!! What we see in other areas of the parts market is a choice... generally you can select between either the budget version of a product, or its more expensive, higher quality counterpart.
So why don't we see this model extended to rubber handbrake gaiters and the like? I think that some of it is down to the fact it takes up to a year for them to fall apart, by which time we have chucked away the receipt and forgotten where we got the parts from. Even if we did have the receipt, who would march back in a year later with two rotten bits of rubber and demand their £4 pound back!!
But maybe we don't complain enough!! I think that if your're unhappy with the quality of the parts your're buying, it's important to complain to the retailer and let them know. It might sound negative, but it doesn't need to be, if you complain in a positive way, any retailer worth their salt will listen to your feedback and act accordingly. If many people are complaining about the same thing, then it might highlight a larger problem and action can be taken.
Anyway, I decided that before I lose all hope of getting anything decent, I'd contact Mini Spares one more time to see if there had been any progress... and it seems that there may be hope on the horizon! Chatting via email, they said that they recognise the problem are trying to address it by either replacing current stock with better quality items or alternatively adding an additional higher quality version of the gaiters giving customers the choice.
Whilst we were exchanging emails, it was pointed out that they do already have a wide range of rubber related products that come with the choice of 'value v's quality'; products such subframe mounts and engine mounts for example. They also pointed out that demand for the cheaper versions is generally more than double that of the high quality more expensive ones!!
So should we, the end customers take some of the wrap for the problem? After all, we're the ones demanding cheaper and cheaper parts at any cost! Well maybe, maybe not, either way, it all becomes a moot point if the choice is given to the customer. Those of us that have had a few too many goes on the cheap and cheerful roundabout might be willing to shell out a few extra shillings in exchange for a guarantee of original manufacturer's quality, whilst others might be happier with the cheaper option.
So when will we be able to get our hands on the good gaiters? Alas I'm not actually sure as there are no timescales yet other than 'soon'. So in the mean time, I had to put some feelers out on the internet to see if anyone else has had any luck getting hold of any decent quality stock. After ringing around a few of the suggested suppliers and asking some questions, I decided to buy a set from MOSS Europe as they seem to have a different supplier based in the US. The website was a bit of a challenge to navigate, but I eventually found them under part number 17H8057
Although their £2ish low cost initially raised my concerns about the quality, when they arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by their appearance compared to the ones I've bought in the past. They had a more rubbery feel to the touch and the overall finish was better.
This was what was advertised, nice and shiny...
a lot better than the previous ones of the past... These are the last set I bought back in 2014.
Obviously appearance isn't everything and the real test will be to look under the car in a few months time and see how they fared, so that's what I'll do and I just hope that they don't look like the ones I've had to change recently.
So after an hour's scrabbling around on the floor under the car, the new MOSS gaiters were fitted in the hope that their longevity is as good as their looks.
The fitting procedure is detailed in this post here, but for now it's fingers crossed and I'll report back in a few months...
Now, finally I can get the car booked in for its MOT test !!!
UPDATE - Aug 2018
Yes, a little later than billed, but here is how
the rubber has held up over 2 years later.
|Well a little dirty...
|... but once wiped, it looks as good as the day it was installed.
Based on what I can see here, these really have done well so
far as the car is kept outside and used as much as possible and
has also endured two salty winters since they were installed.
Big thumbs up!!!!!!!

Herbal Remedy Overview
Modern medical system treats and suppresses the disease but does little to ascertain the real cause. Toxic drugs which may suppress or relieve some ailments usually have harmful side-effects.
Drugs usually hinder the self-healing efforts of the body hereby making recovery more difficult. According to the late Sir William Osler, an eminent physician and surgeon, when drugs are used, the patient has to recover twice – once from the illness, and once from the drug.
Drugs cannot cure diseases; disease continues. It's only the pattern that changes. Drugs also produce dietary deficiencies by destroying nutrients, using them up, and preventing their absorption.
Moreover, the toxicity they produce occurs at a time when the body is least capable of coping with it. The power to restore health thus lies not in drugs, but in nature.
The approach of modern system is more on combative lines after the disease has set in, whereas herbal cure system lays greater emphasis on preventive methods and adopts measures to attain and maintain health and prevent disease.
The modern medical system treats each disease as a separate entity, requiring specific drug for its cure, whereas the herbal cure system treats the organism as a whole and seeks to restore harmony to the whole of the patient's being.

The Yankees wrapped up a wildly successful 8-1 homestand last night, and they'll now go out on the road for a six-game trip through Pittsburgh and Boston. But first: an off-day. There's no Yankees game today. Lame! This team is mighty fun to watch, isn't it? Anyway, I have thoughts on stuff.
1. There is noticeably more energy at Yankee Stadium this year. Maybe it's just general "hey baseball is back hooray" early season enthusiasm, but I went to plenty of April home games last year and the year before and the two years before that, and the atmosphere was not close to what it was during the homestand. At first I thought it was just the fans getting into Michael Pineda chasing perfection in the home opener, but no, the energy has stuck. It's been pretty cool. The new center field landing areas are packed each night and that seems to help. There's more people moving around and more noise in general. There's also been some changes to the between innings entertainment — the Subway Race is gone (wtf?!?) and so is Cotton Eye Joey (woo!) — that, if nothing else, has brought some fresh content. The between innings entertainment at Yankee Stadium went stale a long time ago. I'm sure things will cool down as the season progresses and we get into the dog days, but right now, fans definitely seem to be into this new young Yankees team. The ballpark has been much livelier than it was the past few Aprils. (Now please do something about those damn security lines, Yankees. Too many people are missing the start of the game because they're stuck waiting on line outside.)
2. I mentioned this yesterday, but Luis Severino appears to be much more confident on the mound this year. He's getting the ball, throwing it with conviction, and attacking hitters. That wasn't the case last year. The same seems to be true with Pineda. In the past he had a tendency to wander around the mound a bit and get fidgety. Pineda's body language has always been … interesting. That's a good word. Interesting. Anyway, there's no real way to measure a pitcher's confidence, but we can measure his pace on the mound thanks to PitchFX and Trackman. The numbers show Severino and Pineda are indeed working quicker this year:
2016 Severino: 21.7 seconds between pitches (as a starter only)
2017 Severino: 19.5 seconds
2016 Pineda: 23.8 seconds
2017 Pineda: 22.7 seconds
Furthermore, CC Sabathia has trimmed his pace from 24.8 seconds between pitches last year to 23.0 seconds this year. (The MLB average is 24.0 seconds.) According to man of the people Lucas Apostoleris, Severino (-2.2 seconds) and Sabathia (-1.8 seconds) have the two largest pace drops in baseball from last year to this year. No one has cut more time between pitches than those two. Pineda isn't far behind either at -1.1 seconds. (Masahiro Tanaka is at +0.2 seconds.) Could this be part of a team-wide emphasis on working quickly — the Yankees as a team went from 24.0 seconds last year to 23.4 seconds so far this year — or is this just three starting pitchers pitching well and feeling confident? I'm inclined to think it's the latter right now. Pace is not necessarily a proxy for confidence, though having watched Severino and Pineda so far this year, they do seem to be much more confident and aggressive, and I think that can lead to working quicker on the mound.
3. Dellin Betances made a pickoff throw to first base the other day! Friday night, specifically. The Yankees had a one-run lead with two outs in the eighth inning. Matt Adams was at the plate and Stephen Piscotty, who went 7-for-12 (58%) in stolen base attempts last year, was on first base. Here's the pickoff throw:
That's an honest-to-goodness pickoff throw with some velocity on it. Not some sort of half-baked lob you usually see from pitchers who have trouble throwing to the bases, like Jon Lester. No, that throw was not particularly close to actually picking the runner off first, but that's not really the point. Betances forced Piscotty to dive back into first base and he put it in his head that yes, he will throw over. That's something Dellin didn't do at all last year. Runners knew they could take a great big lead against him and run on his first move, because he wasn't throwing over to first. He was going to the plate. Betances worked on his defense over the winter — not just his pickoff throws, also making plays on weak grounders hit back at him — and we're seeing some results. Two Saturdays ago a runner was thrown out trying to steal against Betances for the first time since September 1st, 2015. That was 23 steal attempts ago. (Austin Romine was behind the plate too, not Gary Sanchez and his rocket arm.) Holding runners is a clear weakness for Dellin and he worked on it during the offseason. He's holding runners a little better and he actually made a pickoff throw. It's not much, but it is progress.
4. The whole Chris Carter thing isn't really working out. I understand why the Yankees signed him given the cost and uncertainty surrounding post-shoulder surgery Greg Bird, but he's sort of a square peg in a round hole on the bench. Bird is going to play and play a lot, and because Carter is a first baseman/designated hitter only, there's no other way to get him in lineup. He can pinch-hit and that's really it. Carter is 4-for-26 (.154) with eight strikeouts thus far and I wonder whether steering clear of contact challenged bench players would be the smart move going forward. It can be tough to keep your timing down while playing sparingly, and that problem could be exacerbated by having difficulty making contact in the first place. Garrett Jones, a similar player to Carter, didn't work out in 2014. Andruw Jones figured out how to thrive as a part-timer later in his career when he was swinging and missing a bunch, but Jones was a Hall of Fame caliber talent, and I think he's an outlier. I guess we have to consider these things on a case-by-case basis. Jones and Carter were regulars before they joined the Yankees and had their roles reduced, so perhaps that explains why they didn't hit in pinstripes. Even with limited playing time, I figured Carter would have already run into a home run by this point of the season. Instead he's flailing at pitches off the plate and popping up the pitches he should crush.
5. The Yankees just put together an eight-game winning streak and have won nine of their last ten games overall, and the schedule may have had something to do with it. The Rays, Cardinals, and White Sox aren't very good — the Rays and Cardinals sure seem to be mistake prone this year, and the White Sox are rebuilding — so the Yankees are beating up on some bad teams. I've seen that bandied about a little bit the past few days. Two things about that. One, you can only play the teams on your schedule. Two, one of the many reasons the Yankees missed the postseason three times in the last four years was their inability to beat the teams they were "supposed" to beat. They went 3-7 against three crummy NL West teams last year (Padres, Rockies, Diamondbacks). In 2014 they went 2-4 against the 70-92 Astros and 8-11 against the 77-85 Rays. In 2013 they went 0-4 against the 74-88 Mets. The Yankees had a way of playing down to their competition. They trailed in five games during the eight-game winning streak, yet they managed to come back and win partly because the other team made mistakes, and they took advantage. The Yankees had problems doing that in the past.
6. Aaron Judge's third inning ground out last night was his 130th career big league at-bat, meaning he is no longer rookie eligible. (He can still win Rookie of the Year this year.) He is only the fourth player drafted by the Yankees in the first round to exhaust his rookie eligibility in pinstripes since Derek Jeter. Judge, Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Ian Kennedy. That's the list. (Eric Milton and Brian Buchanan were first round picks by the Yankees who eclipsed the rookie limits with the Twins after being part of the Chuck Knoblauch trade.) Judge and Buchanan are the only position players drafted by the Yankees in the first round who managed to reach 130 big league at-bats since Jeter. That is pretty nuts. A combination of things (bad drafting, bad development, bad luck) have resulting in the Yankees having little success with their first round picks the last two and a half decades, though I should note part of that is forfeiting picks to sign free agents and never being bad enough to have a top ten pick. But still. You've got to hit on more first rounders than that. Hopefully Judge represents the start of the sea change. The financial playing field has been leveled over the years, making those high draft picks more important than ever.

– Below is a new video interview with The Iron Sheik talking to The Huffington Post:
– WAFB 9 in New Orleans reports that city officials may be looking at bringing WrestleMania back to New Orleans in 2019. New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation President Mark Romig said the city wants WWE back. He commented:
"We think we've put out a great red carpet. We've shown them how to really put on a great event, everything within walking distance and we hope to be part of this rotation going forward."
– As noted, Dean Ambrose appeared to have suffered a rib injury on last night's Main Event episode. He worked the SmackDown tapings so it appears the injury was a work or not serious enough to keep him out of action.

well, to Virginia that is. We are heading there today, so Jamin can work a little. We're so excited to see his parents! After a while, we are going to visit his sister and brother-in-law in Richmond. Then we are going to see some of our good friends in Roanoke Rapids, NC. We don't really know when, but that's the plan. I won't have internet access for a while, so please be patient with me. 🙂
We visited a new church last night. It was a really good service, and the pastor and his wife talked with us for a while after church. They are sweet, country people, and I believe it is the friendliest church I have ever been in. Still praying. I hope it's all settled soon.
Things will be different for a while. Jamin will be gone a lot, so I plan to take my sewing machine, and catch up on some letter-writing. I'm planning a new quilt. 🙂 The first quilt I made, the green one with pin-wheel design, is on my Granny's frames right now. She has been quilting it, and I've helped her just a tiny bit. It'll be finished when I get back. Yea! I think I'm keeping that one.
Today, we are going to spend some time in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, just enjoying the mountains (before we travel on to Virginia). I love driving around with the camera. It's so much fun. That's where we spent our honeymoon…so many memories.
I hope you all have a great week! Pray for us as we travel.

What is a non-refundable move in fee anyways?
In some cities landlords are now giving up on security deposits, and instead requiring payment by tenants of a non-refundable move-in fee. Sometimes this fee is called a processing fee, transaction fee, or the like. But the hallmark is that the fee is non-refundable. Thus, unlike a security deposit, the tenant never stands to get this money back, even if they return the apartment in better condition than they found it at move in.
Another problem with giving a landlord a non-refundable fee instead of a security deposit is that the landlord will not be governed by laws that many states and cities have that protect security deposits. At least for residential leases, a security deposit is often protected by laws requiring it to be held in a special bank account, to have interest paid on it, and to be accounted for in case of deductions. In contrast we are not aware of any laws that apply to non-refundable fees.
Why have many landlords abandoned security deposits altogether? Probably because of the laws alluded to above.
In the 1970's a Model Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act (URLTA) was prepared and circulated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws with amendments in 1974. A lot of states adopted their own versions of it. Around the same time, some of those states, and other states, enacted security deposit laws also. By the 1980's, local municipalities had some of the most tenant-oriented protections in the country, and maybe the whole world. College towns like Madison, Wisconsin, Washington, D.C., and Evanston, Illinois all enacted laws substantially more burdensome for landlords than the laws of the states they occupied (or abutted). Since that time amendments to state laws and such local ordinances leave landlords in a lot of places subject to laws unthinkable 30 years ago. The business of leasing apartments is no doubt a different world today, with lawyer fees, penalty damages, and class actions awaiting those who fail to acquaint themselves with rules for their town.
So landlords reasonably stop allowing the security deposit Trojan horse into their bank account, and forfeit the privilege of holding your money in order to avoid being sued by you. It is probably a wise business practice.
This leaves you with the choice: give a landlord a fee you will never see again, or find a different landlord who still takes a security deposit, and risk losing it, but also have a chance of getting it back. Seems the obvious choice is still to give a security deposit.

We may check once to verify that you have received the estimate, but that is it. We let our reputation and our low prices do the selling for us. You may begin to notice a pattern of pride here as you read through the website. That is because we take pride in providing the most professional service at the most affordable cost.
We actually encourage you to get estimates from other companies. However, we will not match their prices because we refuse to raise our prices to match theirs. That wouldn't be fair to you at all.

With news out that parts of China's networks are currently vulnerable to cyber attacks from hacker's, analysts have begun to speculate how long will it be until the hacker groups Anonymous and LulzSec take advantage.
The bug in China's software
A report from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security today revealed that parts of the software systems used by China to run its weapons, utilities and chemical plants systems suffer from an inherent bug in their coding.
The bug reportedly creates a crack in the systems cyber security that could potentially be exploited by hackers.
After the weakness was discovered DHS reportedly contacted China warning it over the bug in its software.
China are not the only country that could be affected. The software was designed by Beijing-based Sunway Force Control Technology Co. Sunway's products, while most widely used in China, are also used by certain Western companies -- meaning that they are just as vulnerable.
According to experts, the hole in security is so severe that a successful attack could potentially cause lasting damage on critical parts of China's infrastructure.
Sunway has since clarified that it has already developed software patches to plug the security holes.
Unfortunately, the company also admitted that it will take the software's users weeks, maybe months to install the new security fixes -- a rather large window of opportunity for any opportunistic hacker.
LulzSec and Anonymous
The hacker collectives LulzSec and Anonymous have both gained notoriety this year for perpetrating high-profile hacks and cyber attacks against numerous companies and government agencies.
Despite both having been born from the older hacking collective 4Chan both operate under very different principles.
The older group Anonymous, has always marketed itself as "hacktivist". The group in general targets organisations or companies it feels have done wrong.
Most recently Anonymous has targeted the Turkish government, protesting its continued censorship of the internet.
In a statement released earlier this year the group openly stated its motivation writing:
"We are anonymous. Over the last few years, we have witnessed the censorship taken by the Turkish government, such as blocking YouTube, Rapidshare, Fileserve and thousands of other websites.
"Most recently, the government banned access to Google services. These acts of censorship are inexcusable.
"The internet is a platform for freedom, a place where anyone and everyone can come together, discuss topics, and share information, without fear of government interference".
With China's propensity to block websites and ongoing feud with Google, it certainly wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility for Anonymous to target China for similar reasons -- indeed swap Chinese for Turkish and the statement could be seen to ring equally true.
Despite originating from the same source as Anonymous, the hacker collective LulzSec operate under very different principles -- if any.
As the name would suggest -- Lulz being a reference to lolz which means lots of laughs -- LulzSec's primary motivation for its attacks seems to be simple entertainment.
While the group did originally claim that its attacks on Sony were a punishment for the company's extended PlayStation Network outage, it has since committed numerous hacks offering no reason past "just for Lulz".
Most recently the group has released the email, social networking and password information of 62,000 apparently innocent internet users, simply because fans on its Twitter page asked them to.
Similarly, earlier this week LulzSec hacked the games company Bethesda Sofwork's website just to win an argument on Twitter.
The group has already shown willingness to target high-profile government departments and agencies. Only this week it reported successful attacks on the U.S. Senate and CIA's websites.
With this in mind, it seems highly unlikely that the group would pass up the opportunity to target one of the most humourless regimes in the world in its moment of weakness.

|American Flag Craft
I came across this blog, http://iheartcraftythings.blogspot.com/2011/06/fun-simple-flag-craft.html from a pin on Pinterest. There are tons of cute craft ideas, and this one definitely looked fun and simple as the title indicated. I love finding projects where I've got all (or at least enough to make it work) supplies on hand already. On a side note, I think we must have the same table where we do our crafts! Check out the link above for the step by step instructions and pictures on how to make the flag.
|Fun Simple Flag Craft from "I Heart Crafty Things"
After we finished making the flag, we decided to kick this craft up a notch. We took 4 jumbo Popsicle sticks and glued them together. Turns out, there was no way the glue was going to hold up to a 4 year old waving a flag around, so we wrapped masking tape all the way around the "pole" to secure it. An empty wrapping paper tube, yard stick, or paint stir sticks would make good poles as well.
Now he's been running around the house like crazy, which is typical actually, but this time he's waving around his new American flag. Now lets just see if he remembers any of the fun facts we talked about. Enjoy your holiday everyone! Happy Fourth of July!

So many parents use the mobile phone monitoring software to watch everything their kids do with the smart phones. However, is it really necessary for parents to install this monitoring software on their kids' mobile phone?
The answer is definitely "YES"! Why? As we all know that the mobile phone is everywhere to be seen and it has become an important and essential part of our life. Thanks to its convenience for people to keep in touch with others, many people like to use it no matter when and where they are. However, this changes with the emergence of smart phones.
The mobile phone is no longer a tool for people to use it to make calls, send text messages now, and it has long gone from luxury to necessity for ordinary adults, now their kids are getting in on the act. Especially when the smart phones come into being, young kids prefer to use it to surf the Internet, watch videos, read e-books, listen to music, chat with friends rather than make calls or send messages. The app de monitoramento do telefone móvel can help both parents and teachers know what your kids often with their mobile phones in school.
Many teachers inform that the students in the class get used to play on their mobile phone not to turn it off without listening to them, so many of them cannot focus on their studies and get poor scores. Actually, many parents don't know what their kids exactly do with their mobile phones, so they also don't know how to deal with this situation. To help with this, the app de monitoramento do telefone móvel is provided timely for parents to keep an eye on all activities of their kids in school.
Mobile Spy Software é o mais profissional app de monitoramento do telefone móvel that can be used to help control kids' cell phone usage amongst children. It allows you to record calls and SMS logs, web and email activity, Facebook activity, YouTube activity, and track GPS location, view live screen and more.
By installing this monitoring software for mobile phone, parents can be allowed to monitor what websites your kids are visiting, whom they often contact with, what they often post on the Facebook, where they are by tracking GPS location of their smart phone in real time. If they are doing or will do something inappropriate in school, you will know quickly by getting into your account to check all logs remotely. The app de monitoramento do telefone móvel is the need of the hour for every parent, such software helps you watch your kids' cell phone usage at school.

Tamma Carleton
MSc in Economics for Development (2012-13), focusing on food security challenges in light of accelerating environmental change.
What are you studying?
"I just finished an MSc in Environmental Change and Management at the Environmental Change Institute, and am now starting an MSc in Economics for Development that is jointly within the Oxford Department of International Development and the Department of Economics"
What's your research about?
"I focus on food security challenges in light of accelerating environmental change. Thus far, my research has sought to identify climate change adaptation solutions within complex food systems that acknowledge the multiplicity of stressors that face developing world subsistence farmers. My fieldwork in Kenya focuses on how rainfall variability interacts with price volatility in local markets, and I research production and postharvest solutions that may allow farmers to respond to both of these pressures. I use economic simulation models to predict adoption rates of new postharvest technologies in rural Kenya, while using qualitative research methods to ground my models and uncover systemic feedbacks within local, national and regional food systems."
What's your background that led you to studying at Oxford?
"I studied economics as an undergraduate and focused on the evolution of social norms within sharecropping contracts. I was an assistant on economic research projects ranging from economic history of land tenure to international monetary systems and their influence on development. I worked for the United States Federal Trade Commission in the Bureau of Economics, and this work experience encouraged me to pursue an interdisciplinary degree at Oxford so as to broaden my perspective outside of economics alone. I was a founding member of a local food and farming initiative in Washington, D.C., which led me to focus my studies on issues of food security and sustainability within food systems."
What do you hope to do next, when you have finished your studies at Oxford?
"I hope to pursue a PhD in Economics or Agricultural Economics in the United States. I eventually would like to work both in academia and in research-based policy institutions like the International Food Policy Research Institute, so that I can continue researching food system sustainability while engaging directly in policy development and implementation."
What led you to choose Oxford?
"Oxford allowed me to pursue two diverse master's degrees within two years that each provide me with a unique perspective on issues of food security and environmental change. I was drawn to Oxford as well because of its former involvement with the Global Environmental Change and Food Systems project (GECAFS), and the faculty that remain here after leading that project."

Hi, y'all. Maybe I need to stop saying y'all now that we are officially on the west coast and not in southern Illinois. This last week was very adventurous as we packed up our house and moved. You can read all about that story here. I promised to share a hormone balancing blend last week, but time got the best of me… you know the whole moving cross country thing. So, I pretty promise to share that this week.
This week I shared…
