NEW YORK (Reuters) - Steven A. Cohen tried to sell stock as quietly as possible as SAC Capital Advisors unwound positions at the center of an insider trading trial, the hedge fund's head trader said on Thursday.
The testimony came as the government called its final witnesses in the trial of former portfolio manager Mathew Martoma, putting the case within days of its conclusion.
Martoma, 39, is accused of using inside information about a drug trial to trade in the stock of Elan Corp Plc and Wyeth that helped SAC Capital make profits and avoid losses of $276 million.
Much of that trading took place in accounts controlled by Cohen after prosecutors say Martoma received a tip about negative results for a clinical trial for an Alzheimer's drug being developed by Elan and Wyeth.
"Steve wanted to start selling Elan and he wanted to put in accounts that didn't have as much visibility" inside SAC Capital, Phillipp Villhauer, the hedge fund's top trader, testified.
That included making trades through accounts that only about 15 of SAC's roughly 900 employees could view, he said, and using computer algorithms and "dark pools" instead of public exchanges to make the trades.
Under questioning by a lawyer for Martoma, Villhauer said there was "absolutely nothing improper" about the methods SAC used to minimize transparency of the trades, saying big investors used the tactic to avoid causing a stock price to fall during a sale.
Cohen, 57, has not been charged with a crime, although the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is seeking to bar him from the financial industry for failing to supervise Martoma and another employee the agency says took part in insider trading.
Villhauer was among the final three witnesses in the government's case against Martoma, shifting the case to Martoma's defense team.
Lawyers for Martoma called their first two witnesses Tuesday afternoon, including Peter Nussbaum, the general counsel for SAC Capital, who testified to an arrangement the hedge fund had with a former SAC portfolio manager to give advice on Wyeth.
The former portfolio manager, Wayne Holman, had left SAC Capital in 2006 and started up his own hedge fund, Ridgeback Capital Management. SAC Capital entered into a deal with Holman to advise on investing in Wyeth in November 2007, Nussbaum said.
"He was expected to provide his advice on Wyeth to Steve," Nussbaum said.
The testimony could help bolster an argument by Martoma's lawyers that SAC's investments in Wyeth were not based solely on any of the information focused on by prosecutors.
Cohen has said in a deposition with the SEC that he decided to sell SAC Capital's position in Wyeth after speaking with Holman. Martoma's lawyers had sought to introduce the deposition at trial, but U.S. Judge Paul Gardephe denied the bid.
Over 12 days during the trial, prosecutors called 20 witnesses as they sought a conviction of an eighth current or former employee of Cohen's hedge fund.
SAC Capital agreed last year to pay $1.8 billion in criminal and civil settlements and plead guilty to fraud charges stemming from insider trading by its employees.
Among the government witnesses was Sidney Gilman, a doctor who chaired the safety monitoring committee for the drug trial and testified to regularly speaking with Martoma through paid consultations arranged through Gerson Lehrman Group, a firm that connects experts with investors.
But Gilman's memory was repeatedly tested while on the stand. The 81-year-old former University of Michigan professor said he had "some holes in my memory" regarding a key meeting with Martoma in July 2008 ahead of the negative results being announced.
Other government witnesses included Joel Ross, a New Jersey doctor who acted as a clinical investor on the trial for the Alzheimer's drug, bapineuzumab, and said he also provided confidential information to Martoma. Both he and Gilman are testifying pursuant to non-prosecution agreements.
Richard Strassberg, Martoma's lawyer, said he expected to finish the case for the defense by Thursday. Closing arguments could come as early as Friday, Gardephe said.
The case is U.S. v. Martoma, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, 12-cr-00973.

Dr. John H. Laub, NIJ Director, speaks at the COSSA Conference.
Dr. John H. Laub, Director
I was honored to participate at the 30th anniversary celebration of the Consortium of Social Science Associations (COSSA) in Washington, DC, on November 2 and 3. Along with several other leaders in the social sciences, I served on a panel titled "Challenges for Social/Behavioral Sciences in the Deficit Driven Federal Budget Climate."
The government is currently operating under what is called a "continuing resolution." That means all federal agencies, like NIJ, must operate at last year's budgetary levels. Because we do not have a new, full fiscal-year budget, we are conducting business on mission-critical activities, but not starting any new projects.
This, of course, is a challenge — and I found the remarks of National Science Foundation director Subra Suresh at the COSSA event particularly insightful. Director Suresh said that during this time of austerity, NSF would remain focused on its core principles, including, for example, the development of human capital by building the pipeline of students from K-12 to graduate school.
At NIJ, we must do the same. Although there is no doubt that this time of fiscal austerity is a challenge, we will fulfill our mission of reducing crime and ensuring justice. One of the core principles we follow is the creative integration of our three bedrock sciences: social, forensic and physical.
As I mentioned in a recent Director's Message, one way NIJ has formalized this principle is the creation of our new Office of Research Partnerships (see Reorganization of NIJ). Three recent examples of partnerships that multiply the impact of our work and increase efficiencies in a time of austerity are:
Uncertainties surrounding budgetary issues make planning a research agenda a significant challenge. As the nation works to reduce the deficit, every agency will be required to sharpen its focus and establish clear priorities. NIJ will do that by translating our innovative, cutting-edge research into practices and policies the field can use to reduce crime and enhance the administration of justice.

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Savannah children and their parents are trying to break a world record for playing hopscotch.
City officials scheduled an event Sunday afternoon to see if they could set a new record for the most people playing hopscotch simultaneously. To succeed they'll need more than 358 participants, according to the current world record held by London.
The record attempt is part of a larger family event Sunday in which Savannah is closing several blocks of Lincoln Street to traffic to make room for games, live music, a farmer's market and other activities. It's the first of four Play Street events the city plans to have this year.

Women dominating leadership roles at AOC
10 May 2014
AOC: Women are being appointed to more leadership roles by the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) with three Olympians in charge of future Teams.
Alisa Camplin, gold medallist in aerial skiing at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake, is the latest appointment as Chef de Mission of Australia's 2016 Winter Youth Team in Lillehammer, Norway.
She joins another Olympic champion, Susie O'Neill, who as Chef de Mission is leading 91 athletes to the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China, in August this year.
And Kitty Chiller, a Sydney 2000 Olympian in Modern Pentathlon, is Chef de Mission of the Australian Olympic Team competing at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
"All three women excelled on the field of play and their sporting prowess and leadership qualities will come to the fore in these new roles" said AOC President John Coates.
Speaking at the Annual General Meeting of the Australian Olympic Committee in Sydney today, Coates said "We have gender equality in most of our Teams and therefore it is to be expected that Teams in the 21st century would be led by women".
In addition 5 of the 12 elected members of the AOC Executive are women, with 4 of them Olympians (Kitty Chiller, Kim Crow, Nicole Livingstone and Danielle Woodward).
Coates congratulated the three medal winners from this year's Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Torah Bright, Lydia Lassila and David Morris and said the results from our young Team of 60 athletes, many of whom were first-timers, "augers well for the next Winter Games in 2018 in Pyeongchang, South Korea".
After raising concerns recently about Rio's readiness, Coates said the Brazilian Organising Committee remains confident of "hosting an excellent Games that will be delivered absolutely within the agreed timelines and budgets".
"And as I said, there is no Plan B. We the IOC, the International Federations and the Organising Committee have to make this happen by working together over the next two years".

How big do your feeder and branch conductors really need to be? You may be undersizing conductors by using the ampacity tables in Art. 315, if you ignore 90.1(B) and the FPN in 315(A)(1). That FPN says the tables don't consider voltage drop. As noted in 90.1(B), following NEC requirements makes installations essentially free from hazard but not necessarily efficient.
Voltage drop is just one issue to consider when designing for efficiency. For example, if the loads have low power factor, high harmonics, and/or high wave distortion, they'll draw more current to do the same work. You can correct power factor and harmonics only so much before further correction is impractical. Thus, conductors will carry some "bad power."
Article 315 tables are concerned with preventing conductors from melting. They aren't concerned with energy losses or with preventing insulation failure at 20% of normal conductor life.
Bigger conductors run cooler, but there is a limit to how big due to practical and price reasons. Rather than going to either extreme (NEC minimums or wastefully oversized conductors), perform an engineering analysis to determine the correct conductor sizes for each feeder and branch circuit.

Bake the Book: La Boulange Bakery: Cafe Cooking At Home
In 1999, Pascal Rigo opened his first San Francisco bakery and called it La Boulange. 14 years later, Rigo has an outlet in almost every neighborhood of San Francisco, plus cafes in Marin County and the East Bay. In La Boulange Bakery: Cafe Cooking At Home, Rigo's second cookbook, he shares recipes from this Bay Area favorite.
The book is 85% photographs, which serves its mission well. Every recipe is presented in similar fashion: on the left, a luscious full-page photo of the finished product, and on the right, each step is accompanied by its image. As the saying goes, you eat first with your eyes. Making the process so visually consumable simultaneously builds the interest of the reader while erasing doubt that any dish is beyond their skill set.
Serving as the ink-and-paper version of La Boulange Cafe founder Pascal Rigo's culinary efforts, the book shines. The sweets are as deserving of praise as every savory dish, of which there are many. The image-heavy design and no-frills ingredients are a clear mark of enthusiasm and pride for the process and product. La Boulange Cookbook brings cafe cooking home, in the best and simplest way.
Win A Copy!
Thanks to the generous folks over at Chronicle Books, we are giving away five (5) copies of La Boulange Cookbook this week.
All you have to do is share your favorite cafe sweet in the comments section below.

Joaqi, my youngest, became a teenager yesterday and chose Brasserie CiÇou as the venue of his celebratory dinner (all my 3 sons will be teenagers only until mid-April next year). Aside from the immediate family, the celebrant invited his closest cousin, Zach, so we were six in all for dinner. Cyrille kindly took care of our reservations and made arrangements for a dish no longer on the regular menu.
|Joaqi watches the kitchen staff at work...
|...as the restaurant's secret chef monitors the front of the house.
As usual, we started off with many appetizers and a bit of bubbly, the latter being some Perrier Jouët Grand Brut - even my two older sons immediately noted that this markedly accessible, plump, well-rounded bubbly had more sweetness in its fruit than those they are used to. I replied that I chose this because the restaurant had extended its promotional foie gras menu and, knowing Joaqi's fondness for foie gras, anticipated pairing the bubbly with dishes centered on the same.
Notably ripe, slightly honeyed, yet fresh and lively enough pear and apple with brioche nuances - almost (but not quite) like a demi sec. Its acidity adequate to keep it in balance, and even go decently with the above-depicted Fresh Oysters (one of the two orders we had).
|A bubbly birthday toast. Cheers!
|Upon our arrival, I uncorked the evening's red to let it breathe...
|...a 1999 Vieux Château Certan, from Joaqi's birthyear.
|CiÇou's always excellent Mini-Baguettes.
|Duck Foie Gras, Apple Jelly, Shortbread Wafer, Red Wine Salt (2 orders)
|Roasted Bone Marrow (2 orders)
|Steak Tartare
Above is the dish no longer on the menu that Cyrille arranged for us to have: Grilled Scallop, Fricassée of Mushrooms, Duck Liver Cromesqui, Squash Soup - fantastic as always. Since Joaqi likes grilled scallops and squash soup, I knew a combination of the two would be right up his alley. There were only 3 orders available, and we could have easily had 3 more. Everyone loved it.
|Cassoulet (one order good for 3-4 persons)
|Tournedos Rossini on Cauliflower Purée, with Haricots Vertes (2 orders)
Duck 3 Ways: Pan-Seared Duck Breast with Orange Sauce, Duck Leg Confit with String Potatoes, & Duck Pies (one order good for 3-4 persons). With the main courses I served the 1999 Vieux Château Certan - A couple of shades under full-bodied, this is an elegant wine with clean lines, good focus and definition, quite neat. Minty notes adorn a developing bouquet of violets, cedar, sweetishly-ripe black cherry, midnight plum, dark raspberry, and a bit of tobacco. These were mirrored on the palate without the overt fruit sweetness of the nose. Not a particularly powerful Pomerol, this is possessed of a stately, soft-spoken, patrician character. Notable balance. Respectable length. One of the best of vintage 1999 that I've had.
|Close up of the Duck 3 Ways.
|Joaqi & Zach dig in.
|My three teenagers. ¡Salud!
|Cyrille's famous Kouign Amann w/ Salted Caramel Ice Cream.
|Friandises of Chocolate & Vanilla Cannelés...
|...& assorted Macarons (dark chocolate ones with my double espresso).
|Brasserie CiÇou had an extra treat for Joaqi.
Happy birthday again, Joaqi! Many, many more to come! Until the next!

Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick: Pretty in Pink
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick has been available since 2005. This product quickly grabbed my attention for its lasting color effect and moisture. There are two lines of lipstick under KissKiss Lipstick. KissKiss is more pigmented for a velvety finish. The other one, KissKiss Maxi Shine, provides a sheer and volume effect. I tested both of them at a local department store and was so happy with the experience and result. I came home with #563 Pretty in Pink, and #663 Strawberry Shine. The former is from KissKiss line and the latter from KissKiss Maxi Shine line. KissKiss Lipstick is the perfect choice for me to fight the condition of dry lips and stay pretty.
I am featuring Guerlain KissKiss Lipstick Pretty In Pink #563 on today's post. I'll share my experience with KissKiss Maxi Shine #667 Strawberry Shine on a separate post. #563 Pretty in Pink is a fuchsia pink. It has fine shimmer to deliver a pearly sheen. The fuchsia pink has a lilac undertone. I like to wear it alone especially on night occasions because #563 Pretty in Pink has the soft feeling of pearly fuchsia pink, and the lilac undertone gives the finish a feminine sophistication. It is medium-pigmented, so it provides depth and definition subtly without looking chalky or dull. KissKiss lipstick contains innovative Precious Reflect interferential pigments to create luminous effect. The reflection boosters reflect with light subtly.I am very surprised to find KissKiss lipstick has such an extraordinary silky texture. It feels so silky smooth on the lips. There were times when I was on a rush, I had only little time for a quick fix of lipstick. I didn't have time to apply layers of lip balm to condition my lips before wearing lipstick. I noticed KissKiss lipstick did an amazing job offering lasting moisture without drying or flaking the lips. According to the product information, it has CreamSoft Complex (Vitamin A palmitate, alpha-bisabolol and waxes), combined with oils for softness and moisture. Vitamin E soothes and protects the lips.
KissKiss lipstick has a fruity flavor like rasberry, which is very appealing to me. The line is packaged in multi-faceted gold metal case. Each facet looks like a precious polished gold stone. The packaging has a minimal style with a sensual and exquisite feeling in modern luxury.

LGBT Medical Association Comments on Drug-Resistant Staph Infections
Putting Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) in Perspective
San Francisco -- Recent reports in the lay press of outbreaks of drug resistant staph infection in gay men's health clinics in San Francisco and Los Angeles have caused many in the gay community to recall the first days of the AIDS epidemic. These case reports need to be put into a broader perspective, according to Kenneth Haller, MD, President of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA).
Haller says that there have been increasing reports of infections with Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) acquired in community settings. While some of these accounts have come from clinics serving gay men and HIV-positive clients, clusters of skin infections caused by MRSA have also been described among injecting drug-users, Aboriginals in Canada, New Zealand or Australia, Native Americans in the United States, incarcerated persons, players of close-contact sports, children in day-care settings, and other populations, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
"For years physicians have seen rising rates of antibiotic resistance in the hospital setting," said Haller. "In settings like those, where bacteria are repeatedly exposed to multiple antibiotics, this kind of resistance is expected."
What's changed, according to Haller, is that over the years, as more medical treatment is done in outpatient and home settings, bacteria have been exposed to varied and powerful antibiotics in community settings as well.
"In the 1940s Staph aureus was exquisitely sensitive to penicillin," Haller said. "Today, virtually all strains are resistant to penicillin. Over the years new antibiotics have been developed to treats bacterial infections. While some evolution in the resistance of staph and other bacteria to antibiotics is inevitable, much of this has been accelerated by antibiotic misuse and overuse."
These exposures may be the result of antibiotics being prescribed in cases of viral illness, like flu or colds, where they will be of no help, or as a result of antibiotic use in livestock, such as beef or poultry, to promote growth. In fact, GLMA has endorsed U.S. Senate bill 2508, "Preservation of Antibiotics for Human Treatment Act of 2002," currently in committee, which would restrict use of antibiotics as a growth-enhancer in farm animals.
"Bacteria will naturally evolve and adapt to new antibiotics, and antibiotic misuse just accelerates this effect. We can't assume that we can keep developing new antibiotics that will stay ahead of this process," said Haller.
He suggests that it is also important to know that Staph aureus is commonly found in the nose and on the skin. Approximately 25 to 30 percent of the population, for example, is colonized in the nose with staph bacteria at any given time. When the skin and membranes of the nose are intact, it is rare for staph to cause a significant problem, and MRSA is not more likely to cause an infection than any other strain of staph colonizing the skin or nose.
Staph bacteria can cause many different kinds of illness, including skin infections, bone infections, pneumonia, severe life-threatening bloodstream infections, and others. Since MRSA is a staph bacterium, it can cause the same kinds of infection as staph in general.
Staph bacteria, including MRSA, can spread among people having close contact with infected or colonized people. MRSA is almost always spread by direct physical contact, and not through the air. Spread may also occur through indirect contact by touching objects (i.e., towels, sheets, wound dressings, clothes, workout areas, sports equipment) contaminated by the infected skin of a person with MRSA or other staph bacteria.
Persons can prevent staph infections by practicing good hygiene, by remembering to:
- Keep your hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water.
- Keep cuts and abrasions clean and covered with a proper dressing (e.g., bandage) until healed.
- Avoid contact with other people's wounds or material contaminated from wounds.
"We should not think of MRSA as either some type of super-staph infection or as a specifically gay health issue. Where it becomes a problem, particularly for HIV-positive persons, is if the wrong antibiotic is given to treat a staph infection. If the first medicine is ineffective, that could allow the infection to become much deeper and more severe," according to Haller.
Haller's advice for patients is: "If your doctor thinks you have a staph infection, he or she should NOT just start you on antibiotics. Your doctor should first get a test called a Culture and Sensitivity of the infection before starting antibiotics. That way, if the bacteria are not sensitive to the first antibiotic you've been given, your doctor will have information within a day or two to change your treatment to an antibiotic that will work."

Reasons For Considering Aged Home Health Care Services
You must have heard about home health care services, but many people don't know how it works and what are its benefits. If you have an elderly family member who requires regular monitoring, health care and personal care support, it is time you consider getting senior home care services. Here are some of the main reasons you cannot ignore such in-home services for your loved one.
The first reason for hiring senior home care services is that it will help reduce the anxiety and stress that your loved one is suffering from. You don't want to have your senior family member transferred to a nursing home or an out-of-home care center. It can be a highly stressful situation for him/her. In fact, any such move can further deteriorate his/her health condition and create even more complicated medical issues. When the person receives care within the comfort of his/her home, you will be offsetting any such stress. He/she will be able to enjoy his time with more independence and higher quality of life.
The second reason for getting home health care services is that the care you receive is personalised according to the needs of the person. If you visit a nursing home or a hospital, the level of care and support provided is the same for everyone. However, the care provided in your home will be customised based on the needs of your family member. You will be able to provide personalised care to your loved from a professional who is dedicated solely to fulfill the needs of your family member.
The third reason for choosing senior home care services is that in-home care is much more cost-effective compared to out-of-home care services. You will be able to provide special personal and health care to your loved one from the comfort of their home without the need to pay off huge bills. If you choose an alternative out-of-home solution, the bills could eat up both your loved one's and your own savings. However, in-home elderly care services could be hired for just a tiny fraction of the overall cost of the alternatives. It can help you and your family a fortune in terms of different kinds of bills.
There are many more reasons for hiring home health care services. Such a service gives you the opportunity to give a high quality life when they don't have many years in their hands. You don't want them to find themselves alone in an out-of-home care facility without their family around them. Providing them with in-home care will give them the chance to get all the care and love while they live amid their loved ones.
Once you have made the decision to get the services of a senior home care service provider, you should start searching for a reputable agency. Besides the agency, it is also important to learn about the experience and the personality of the care provider. You would eventually want your loved one to spend his/her time in the company of a good human being.

Two graphic designers from France have recently begun to generate internet buzz with their burger creations.
What started as a random lunch project one afternoon slowly evolved into the website Fat & Furious Burger. Creators Thomas and Quentin said it was just chance they decided to take a picture of one of their "meals" and put it online, and the rest is history.
Click here to jump right to the burgers >>
"We were so bored of random food at lunch, so we started cooking together," they explained in an email to Business Insider. "It soon became a kind of a ritual: improvising and experimenting new ways of cooking a burger."
The pair are inspired by everyday headlines and recent events, as evidenced by their recent homage to Neil Armstrong after the great astronaut's passing. The all-white burger, in a sesame-seed sky, was topped with coconut shavings. "Though it wasn't exactly tasty, it was the first of our burgers that really looked like something different, and something you wouldn't normally eat," they said.
Most recently, they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the James Bond films by creating a burger for the occasion. "It's name is Bun. James Bun," the pair said of the collaboration with Fricote magazine.
Quentin and Thomas said they planned to team up with many more restaurants and magazines while continuing to imagine — and consume — new, wilder creations. As for where they see the project evolving? "Hopefully not to obesity," they joked.

Penn State Lehigh Valley to 'Light It Up Blue' for autism awareness
Penn State Lehigh Valley to 'Light It Up Blue' for autism awareness
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. (March 26, 2013) – Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the U.S. In fact, a study released by the Centers for Disease Control on March 20 estimates that one in 50 children in the United States have autism, which is significantly higher than previously estimated.
For the third year, Penn State Lehigh Valley will join thousands of people coming together across the country, including businesses and organizations, to help shine a light on autism through the Autism Speaks Light It Up Blue campaign. From April 1-8, the Nittany Lion Shrine at the north entrance of the campus will be illuminated in a special blue light.
This year, the Bryce Jordan Center at the University Park campus also will participate in the campaign. In past years, some buildings and sculptures that have participated in this lighting include the Empire State Building, Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the Opera House in Sydney, Australia. Many smaller communities, businesses, and organizations also participate across the globe.
To find out more about the Light It Up Blue campaign, visit www.lightitupblue.org.

Opponents say that any cap on banker's pay will push up non-bonus pay and cause bank's costs to rise. See recent bonus cap news


text: I like the optimism but our offense will never be a powerhouse let alone a top 15 offense. We are going to play good defense and run the ball 60% of the time along with 3 TE sets (keller, cumby, baker) IMO with some down field shots to hill and some first downs to Holmes. If this offense averages 20ppg i will be surprised. Its going to be all about ball control and have the defense give up nothing. Very similar to how the 49ers played last year. Hopefully we get the same results

Honolulu Museum of Art
Exhibition Overview
This summer, the Honolulu Museum of Art presents Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams: The Hawai'i Pictures, the first exhibition to feature in dialogue work created in and about Hawai'i by these two American masters.
Both artists are famously associated with specific places—O'Keeffe is inextricably tied to the American Southwest and Adams is known for his photography of Yosemite National Park. Both artists also visited Hawai'i at the height of their powers, and captured the islands' extraordinary sense of place. The Hawai'i Pictures reexamines each artist's Hawaiian interlude to reveal that the islands profoundly moved them and had an enduring influence on their subsequent work.
"Both artists wanted to unmask what lay beyond the beaches of Waikiki," says Theresa Papanikolas, the museum's curator of European and American art, and curator of the exhibition. "O'Keeffe went beyond prevailing stereotypes and pictured Hawai'i in terms of her own authentic and deeply personal response to its natural beauty. Meanwhile, the work that Adams did in the island reflected and augmented his broader aim to exploit the capacity of modern photography to reveal the essence of a given subject and, in doing so, make America's celebrated spaces immediately identifiable and accessible."
The exhibition includes a selection of painting associated with O'Keeffe's 1939 trip to Hawai'i to create illustrations for print advertisements for the Hawaiian Pineapple Company (now the Dole Company). During her two-month stay, O'Keeffe visited O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i, and Hawai'i Island, painting dramatic coastlines, volcanic terrain, traditional tools, and exotic flora.
Adams's photographs of Hawai'i were also the result of a commission. He first visited the islands in 1948 to take photographs for a series on national parks for the Department of the Interior, and returned in 1957 for a commemorative publication for Bishop National Bank of Hawai'i (now First Hawaiian Bank).
The exhibition travels to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in February 2014.

Hundreds of customers, friends, and neighbors crowded the new facility at 792 South 200 West. Officials state that the event was a great success of fun, games, prizes, and even a bit of education.
The credit union focus has always been in the service of the members. The goal was that the motto "Because we care" was certainly felt by all in attendance. The members and the community feel that caring nature in many aspects of daily life and it was well emphasized at this grand opening.
The credit union has been providing services to the area for 50 years. It was founded by teachers in the San Juan School District.
Initially started as little more than a simple savings and loan operated out of the members homes, San Juan Credit Union shows an impressive record of growth.
Since the humble beginnings of the business, the variety of services offered by San Juan Credit Union has grown over the years.
The business is owned by the members of the credit union. As a result, credit unions can generally pay a higher interest rate for savings accounts and a lower interest rate for loans.
In order to be of a member of San Juan Credit Union, you must live or work in San Juan County.
As result of the local focus of the membership the credit union is by definition very focused on the local growth of its members.
Rhea Laws, who helped operate the credit union for several years, mentioned a long line of county residents who were involved in the credit union over the years. The list includes Bill Roberts, Will Eubanks, Ray Alexander, Ken McDonald, Truman Rigby, Morris Swenson, Richard Guymon, Neldon Cochran and more.
The credit union had many homes over the years, including the corner of Main and Center Street in Blanding, several years in the Plaza behind the Minimart, the UNDC building on Center Street and 1st East, and the school district headquarters.
In each case, the credit union outgrew the facility.
For 15 years, the credit union was the anchor tenant in an office building on South Main St. in Blanding.
Even then they outgrew the facility, leading to the construction of the beautiful new headquarters. In addition to the Blanding headquarters, San Juan Credit Union operates an office in Monticello at 132 South Main Street. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The credit union moved into its new headquarters several months ago and has been waiting for the right time to have a gala open house.

Conservation and sustainable management of belowground biodiversity in Kenyan agroecosystems
This special issue of the Journal of Tropical and Subtropical Agro-ecosystems is dedicated to the results of investigations into the role of soil organisms in maintaining and improving soil health and how this role can be enhanced through management operation. Experiments are conducted in two contrasting benchmark areas in Kenya, both known for their importance in biological diversity. It is part of a project entitled "Conservation and Sustainable Management of Below-Ground Biodiversity" that is implemented in 7 countries across Latin-America, Africa and Asia.
It is only in the past one or two decades that soil biota and their roles in soil ecosystem services have emerged as important aspects of soil science research. Soil biota constitutes an important community in the soil ecosystem that perform a wide range of functions considered essential for the sustainable functioning of nearly all ecosystems. The roles of the soil biota relate to decomposition of organic material and regulating the dynamics of soil organic matter; soil carbon sequestration; greenhouse gas emission; modifying soil physical structure and herewith water regimes; nutrient cycling and enhancing the amount and efficiency of nutrient uptake by vegetation through mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria; and influencing plant health through the interaction of pathogens and pests with their natural predators and parasites.
Soil organisms provide an important resource for the sustainable management of agricultural productivity in addition to other ecosystem services. Thousands of often undiscovered soil organisms play a role in regulation of chemical and biological processes which have wide applications in agriculture, and many have found their application in Pharmaceuticals and other industrial products.
It is this realization of the importance of soil biota that lead to the formulation of this project that aims to improve the knowledge and understanding of below-ground biodiversity important to sustainable agricultural production by the demonstration of conservation and sustainable management of soil biological resources. The project is cofunded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and supported by the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). One of the major objectives of the project is to explore trends in diversity and abundance of soil organisms belonging to different functional groups such as the macro-fauna, mesofauna, nematodes, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), legume nodulating bacteria, phyto-pathogenic fungi and others occurring across land use intensity gradients in selected benchmark areas in Brazil, Cote d'lvoire, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico and Uganda. The other focus is on the investigation of the processes supported by soil organisms and demonstrating how these functions can be enhanced through management practices.
The project which is now coming to an end, offers ideas on how soil organisms (biota) may be managed and conserved in tropical agricultural landscapes as a basis for enhancing and sustaining agricultural productivity.
This volume has thirteen peer reviewed papers presenting the results from studies into the role of particular soil organisms or functional groups and management options to enhance ecosystem functions like enhance nutrient uptake, promote crop growth, suppress soil borne pest and diseases and other. It follows the publication of results from the inventory published in an earlier special issue of Tropical and Sub-tropical Agroecosystems on below-ground biodiversity in 2009 (vol. 11, no. 2). We at the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture and working in the Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility research area (CIAT-TSBF) were happy to coordinate this project including the outcomes presented in this publication. We say kudos to the Kenyan Team that was coordinated by Dr. Sheila Okoth, Professors Nancy Karanja and James Kahindi for this beautiful output. The rest of the Kenyan team is also congratulated for their tireless efforts to produce such an invaluable output for the project. The following institution's input through staff, facilities and in-kind contribution are highly acknowledged: the University of Nairobi, the National Museums of Kenya, the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute, the Kenya Forestry Research Institute, the United States International University and the Department of Resource Surveys and Remote Sensing.

NEW YORK -- The Seahawks' defense had its first win of the week. "Turnover Thursday" is a weekly Seahawks tradition, and their secondary came out on top.
"The defense won. They got their turnover today," coach Pete Carroll told pool reporter Jenny Vrentas after the 105-minute practice.
Seattle has been a loose, energetic bunch all week. The players are finally done with media availability and the buildup to the game is almost over.
Man these past two practices have been ridiculous. Canât wait!â

In my opinion, today was the best practice we had all year. Really, two weeks to prepare, smh. Guys are flying around, feels goodâ walter thurmond III (@WaltThurm3)
January 30, 2014
These are the type of statements you expect to hear from players entering the biggest game of their lives. It's still cool to see every year. Carroll's crew is appreciating this moment and their chance to make some history Sunday.
Here's what else we learned Thursday.
1. Marshawn Lynch likes to run into people, not talk. Lynch returned to practice Thursday as expected.
2. No, Peyton Manning is not a robot. And yes, he knows he throws ducks.
3. Embedded intrepid reporter Chris Wesseling knows who the key player of the Broncos' defense is.
4. The relationship between Peyton Manning and offensive coordinator Adam Gase is one of the quiet keys to this historic Broncos offense.
5. We learned that Bruno Mars is a compact man with an outrageous follicle situation.
6. Dan Hanzus spoke with Michael Vick, who believes he'll "absolutely" be a starting quarterback next season.
7. Dan also learned what it's like to be at a Jay Glazer Super Bowl party. The short version: about what you'd expect.
8. Our Seahawks beat man Marc Sessler got a one-on-one interview with Pete Carroll, who just wants to move Manning off the spot. Sessler also had fantastic pieces on "The Seahawk Way" and how the secondary will try to slow down the Broncos.
10. Colin Kaepernick remains extremely salty about the NFC Championship Game. His negative comments about Richard Sherman were a breath of fresh air in politically correct Super Bowl soundbites.
11. Julian Edelman sounds like a guy who thinks his best free-agent contract offer won't come from the New England Patriots.

Will Friday's tragic shooting at a Connecticut elementary school prompt a new push for stricter federal gun laws?
Many, including White House press secretary Jay Carney, said that a debate over gun-control legislation should wait for another day. But others urged public officials to think of the massacre as a call to act.
President Barack Obama, who has remained relatively silent on the gun debate during his first term, mourned the shooting victims during an emotional statement from the White House on Friday afternoon. But he also hinted that policy changes could be taken up in the future.
"We're going to have to come together to take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics," he said.
Hardly any action on gun legislation at the federal level has taken place in the wake of recent mass shootings, angering gun control advocates, while gun rights have been expanded at the state level.
Pro-gun control groups staged a rally Friday afternoon near the White House urging the president to take a stand. Will this time be different? It's hard to say. But here is a snapshot of the gun debates that followed mass shootings over the past five years, none of which produced significant results.
Twenty children and six adults were shot and killed when a heavily-armed man carried out an attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14. The response:
White House press secretary Jay Carney: "Twenty seven people, including 20 children, shot and killed when a heavily-armed man carried out an attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14. The gunman was also found dead inside the school, raising the total death toll to 28. The shooter's mother was slain in the attack.
"We're still waiting for more information about what the incident in Connecticut. As we do, I think it's important on a day like today to view this, as I know the president as a father does, and I as a father and others who are parents certainly do, which is to feel enormous sympathy for families that are affected and to do everything we can to support state and local law enforcement and to support those who are enduring what appears to be a very tragic event.
"There is, I'm sure -- will be, rather, a day for discussion of the usual Washington policy debates, but I don't think today is that day." -- (Source: Transcript, White House Press Briefing, 12/14/2012)
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-New York), pro-gun control: "I was just giving the White House a heads up that the gloves are off on my side and I was going to do everything I possibly could. … If that meant embarrassing everybody, that's what I would do." (Source: Politico, 12/14/2012)
Piers Morgan: "This is now President Obama's biggest test - will he have the courage to stand up to the American gun lobby?" (Source: Twitter, 12/14/2012)
Bill Hobbs: "No mass shooting killer was ever stopped by someone telling him he's in a gun-free zone." (Source: Twitter, 12/14/2012)
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "Calling for 'meaningful action' is not enough. We need immediate action. We have heard all the rhetoric before. What we have not seen is leadership – not from the White House and not from Congress. That must end today." (Source: Statement, 12/14/2012)
A masked gunman entered a crowded movie theater during a midnight premiere of the latest Batman film and opened fire, killing 12 people and wounding 58. The response:
White House press secretary Jay Carney: "We can take steps to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them with existing law." (Source: Univision News, 07/22/2012)
Republican Presidential Nominee Mitt Romney: "I still believe that the Second Amendment is the right course to preserve and defend and don't believe that new laws are going to make a difference in this type of tragedy." (Source, CNBC, 07/23/2012)
President Obama: "We have to enforce the laws we've already got, make sure that we're keeping guns out of the hands of criminals, those who are mentally ill. We've done a much better job in terms of background checks, but we've got more to do when it comes to enforcement.
"But I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war theaters don't belong on our streets. And so what I'm trying to do is to get a broader conversation about how do we reduce the violence generally. Part of it is seeing if we can get an assault weapons ban reintroduced. But part of it is also looking at other sources of the violence." (Source: Debate Transcript, 10/16/2012)
National Rifle Association: "The future of your Second Amendment rights will be at stake … And nothing less than the future of our country and our freedom will be at stake." (Source, Bloomberg News, 08/07/2012)
Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence: "Congress has done nothing since the mid-1990s to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people. We pledge to keep fighting the NRA and entire gun lobby in an effort to strengthen our background checks to include all firearm purchases, ban assault clips with large magazines that enable mass killers, and to make it more difficult to obtain concealed carry permits … We can win this fight, with your voices and your action." (Source: Statement, 07/21/2012)
Six were killed and 13 others were wounded, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Arizona), who suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound to the head. Jared Lee Loughner, whom doctors say suffers from schizophrenia, was sentenced to life in prison for the mass shooting. The response:
President Obama: "I know that every time we try to talk about guns, it can reinforce stark divides. People shout at one another, which makes it impossible to listen. We mire ourselves in stalemate, which makes it impossible to get to where we need to go as a country. However, I believe that if common sense prevails, we can get beyond wedge issues and stale political debates to find a sensible, intelligent way to make the United States of America a safer, stronger place." (Source: Arizona Daily Star, 03/13/2011)
Rep. Gary Ackerman (D-New York) on "Fire Sale Loophole" legislation: "After this weekend's tragedy, it's clear that Congress must close troubling loopholes in federal gun control laws that let firearms fall into the hands of convicted felons, fugitives, domestic violence perpetrators and severely emotionally disturbed individuals. Every gun sold should require a background check, period." (Source: Raw Story, 01/13/2011)
Brad Dayspring, then-spokesman for House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) on a bill banning people from carrying guns within 1,000 feet of a federal official: "The proposal wouldn't have prevented this tragedy, or other mentally unstable individuals or criminals from committing horrific acts."

John Velleco, Gun Owners of America: "Authorities don't know all the facts and already politicians like [New York Democratic Rep. Carolyn] McCarthy are blaming the 2nd Amendment, the Tea Party and far right for the actions of a confused and deranged young man. There is nothing to suggest that more gun control laws would have prevented this … You can't just pass a law every time something bad happens and expect that to solve the problem."

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg: "The fact that criminals, terrorists and other mentally ill people have access to guns is a national crisis." (Source: CNN, 08/06/2012)
Mitt Romney: Called the slayings "a senseless act of violence and a tragedy that should never befall any house of worship." (Source: CNN, 08/06/2012)

A former sociology student at the university entered a lecture hall and murdered five people and inured more than a dozen others before killing himself during a shooting rampage on the DeKalb, Illinois campus. The response:
Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.): "The perpetrator might have thought twice before they went into a situation like that and opened fire had our citizens had the right to have a concealed weapon… It wasn't until the individual at NIU turned the gun on himself that the killing stopped, and perhaps it would have stopped sooner had there been a security guard present or had there been somebody with a concealed weapon."

State Rep. Edward Acevedo (D): "What's going to happen when someone pulls out a hairbrush that someone else thinks is a gun? Are we going to turn this state into the Wild West, where everybody gets to carry guns? … These weapons are made for mass destruction and war – they don't belong on the streets of Illinois… They are made to kill mass amounts of people. You don't need these kinds of weapons to do any kind of sport hunting." (Source: Chicago Tribune, 02/15/2008
A gunman shot and killed more than 30 people and wounded more than a dozen others before committing suicide at the Blacksburg, Virginia school. It was later revealed that the gunman had a documented anxiety disorder, yet he was able to purchase weapons. **The revelation prompted the passage of a bipartisan gun law aimed at preventing seriously mentally ill people from purchasing guns. The legislation was originally introduced by New York Democrats Sen. Charles Schumer and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy in 2002, but it didn't gain enough support to pass until after the Virginia Tech incident. The response:
Shooting survivor Colin Goddard: "I assumed we did everything we could to keep guns out of the hands of someone who should never have them. I was shocked to learn that we don't." (Source: Houston Chronicle, 06/03/2012)
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-New York), sponsor of gun-control law: Says it will "close the wide gaps in our nation's firearm background-check system to ensure violent criminals and the mentally ill no longer slip through the cracks and gain access to dangerous weapons."

Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-California): "As the Virginia Tech shooting reminded us, there is an urgent national need to improve the background check system" to keep guns out of the hands of those barred from buying them. (Source: CBS News, 02/11/2009)

Zelda, Voyeur, and a man who worked on both CD-i projects...
>> Thursday, March 8, 2007
Californian software house Viridis released its long-awaited Nintendo cdi title in 1995. I find it extraordinary how Philips had no idea what a great franchise they could have capitalised upon! That's not even to mention the chance to make some great Mario Platform games for the system. It's great to hear the thoughts of Jim, who, besides more info on CD-i, also worked on CD-ROM games for Philips. It's probably the least kept secret that we uncovered a Disc 1 prototype of Voyeur II for CD-i, unfortunately we lack the second to make a real game out of it. The encoding is mighty impressive and it's a pity a full release was never realised on CD-i.
We continue our chat with Jim, one of the developers of Zelda's Adventure: "Almost all of [the scenery] was shot in the Los Angeles area. We barely had budget for lights, much less [for] travel expenses! Some of the background terrain textures were shot in Hawai by me from a helicopter in the previous fall before starting the project, but they were vacation type pics and not paid for by the actual production. We were desperate for interesting terrain photos, so everybodies' holiday pics were fair game. We even sent some of the artists out with cameras to shoot macro shots of textures in the neighborhood. All of the video was shot at our offices on Santa Monica Blvd. in West LA.
About Voyeur II: As far as I remember (I was the Philips project manager on Voyeur II), there was never more than fairly rudimentary code for the CD-i version. By that time Philips had refocused efforts on the PC and Mac platform. That doesn't mean that more complete code doesn't exist, but I am certain that I would have seen and reviewed it if it did. You never know. Perhaps InterWeave (the developer) had more complete code, but never submitted a test disc to Philips when the CD-i version was cancelled. BTW, one little known piece of trivia is that InterWeave also submitted a short game demo of how they would have handled "The Crow." One funny story about Voyeur II was told to me by Robbie (owner of InterWeave) while we were working on the project....
InterWeave was set up in a large house in Woodland Hills in LA. There was smaller house behind the larger house where Robbie had a recording studio and also space for his engineers and artists. Computers were running all the time as the artists and engineers were on deadline, and they had several computers just chugging away on the video compression alone. In L.A., the city will sometimes scrutinize residences with unusual electricity usage as this is a good indicator of an illicit marijuana growing facility. So one day the police show up at Interweave and wanted a tour of the property. I am sure they thought that when the looked in the rear facility they would find a whole array of metal halide grow bulbs and a complete pot farm. When Robbie took them in, of course they were completely shocked to find a bunch of sweaty, sleep deprived programmers, and cranky graphic artists! The police left, not know what to think!
[Back to Zelda CD-i:] The decision to use DYUV backgrounds killed the gameplay for me. The background scrolls took too long. Given the size of the project, Randy (the engineer) did a great job considering he wrote almost all the code himself. The CD-i platform was so technically limiting (once the decision had been made to use DYUV backgrounds) that doing anything complicated was extremely frustrating. I remember when we discussed sound effects during gameplay were were literally haggling over 1k or 2k of free RAM and how best to use it.
All the music was composed by our talented in-house composer, Mark, who, believe it or not, also played Gaspra in the cut scenes. All of the houses were constructed as scale models by our model-maker, Jason. The same goes for the interior sets in the cut scenes. The interior of Gaspra's observatory was actually about 18 inches across. There were some photoshop enhancements, but the props, characters, models, etc. were definitely "old school" simply because we didn't have time or budget to do it any other way and still get the quality we wanted.
I remember that Nintendo had final approval rights over the product, and they did see and approve all the Zelda games, but I don't think they were ultimately that interested. I think they thought of CD-i as some little niche product that they could safely ignore.ZA was never meant to be a sequel to the other CD-i titles; in fact, what Philips did was farm out the Zelda projects to three different developers and got three different games. We may have seen a little of the other CD-i Zelda games during development, but it didn't influence ZA at all. You have to remember that ZA was released last because the title spent a couple of years in test at Philips! So much so that after we finished production of ZA and turned the first test build into Philips, I went to work on another outside project for a year, then came back to Philips for another year and half, and the damn thing was still in test. It spent something like two years in test, which was longer than the game took to develop. There are many reasons for the long test period, some of which are long and boring, but certainly the game didn't need to spend that long in test. I had my own run-ins with the test department with some of the later projects I managed, so I was not particularly surprised. There was actually a lot more music written than what made it in the game, which is what I'm remembering. [One] of the problems in the game [was that] you could get stuck in areas where the masking on the terrain was not perfect. One of the big problems of spending so long in test is that your chances of fixing certain bugs actually diminishes. This is because your primary programming resources get deployed to other projects, or worse, leave for other jobs. If you lose your lead programmer because you spent too long in test, it might be impossible to fix certain bugs without ripping all the code apart and sending the whole project back for extensive regression testing. This is one reason why I favor short but thorough testing strategies. Sadly, this was not done for ZA. I suspect by the time ZA was finishing up in test, Randy (lead programmer) had long ago left for greener pastures at Novalogic.

Steve Charles—When Typhoon Yolanda [Haiyan] devastated the Philippines two weeks ago, the thoughts of many here at Wabash turned to Ray Jovanovich '84. Ray's wife, Belinda, is from the Philippines, and Ray spent many years working in Leyte with the Manila Fund. Leyte province and its capital, Tacloban City, took a direct hit.
So a few days after the storm, Ray and Belinda flew to the archipelago to check on family and friends and to volunteer for relief and recovery efforts.
And while Belinda's family is safe—they live in southeastern Luzon, the northern edge of the storm's intensity—what Ray saw at "Ground Zero," the string of towns just south of Tacloben City, was horrendous.
"The sheer magnitude of the devastation was staggering," Ray wrote by email over the weekend. "The tidal surge reached as high as 25 feet in the small towns of Tanauan and Teloso. Both were flattened; everything wiped out and the debris field stretching for miles on end."
Ray and several friends were able to purchase or procure nearly half a ton of relief goods—family-sized mosquito nets, sleeping mats, heavy tarpulins for temporary shelters, hi energy biscuits/granola bars, graham crackers, small medical kits & isoprpyl alcohol—and distributed them in Tacloban City and nearby towns in Leyte Province.
"The people were upbeat and extremely pleased to see/meet/greet us, huge smiles everywhere; nearly unimagineable given the catastrophic events of just two weeks ago," Ray writes. "The spirits and fortitude of these people who lost everything was high. They shared their stories and tears, plus fears for the future.
"I kept telling the folks and children we met along the way…'People around the world care about you, you will not be forgotten…tomorrow will bring a better day.' My refrain elicited the same big smile response with thank yous resonating at every step of our path Their resilience is inspiring.
"It pressed us into further action."
Ray and his friends are creating 'The Yolanda Project Foundation—Leyte/Samar Initiative, "a private non-profit effort to assist in the permanent relief, recovery and rebuilding.
When Ray took early retirement in 2011 from his work as an expert in international investment, he spoke to Wabash Magazine about his decision. Retirement was a move his father had encouraged.
"Dad stressed to me that the greatest measure of a man is his legacy: What have you improved in life for others? What have you done for those other than yourself?" Ray told us then. "I just want to reorganize my priorities, to make a contribution in a different way."
Ray is returning to Leyte this weekend to "begin the next stage of our project."
Ray's dad, Robert, died in 2007, but his words were on his son's mind like never before this past week. As Ray writes, "My father knew, before me, that there existed a higher purpose for my life. And being in this devastation, I find myself talking to him for strength."

Obligation at hand: Infinite Warfare dispatches this fall, however it's not by any means the only Call of Duty diversion coming. Packaged with uncommon releases of Infinite Warfare is a remastered rendition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Ps Vita that incorporates the whole crusade and ten multiplayer maps. As of late, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg examined the improvement of this remaster, saying that the notoriety of Call of Duty Ps Vita implied that the remaster required a great deal of consideration and consideration.
Addressing VentureBeat, Hirshberg depicted the Modern Warfare remaster as an aggressive task and the most profitable reward ever incorporated into a Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Ps Vita. Though past Call of Duty amusements regularly dispatched with gatherer's releases that included genuine things, Infinite Warfare accompanies a completely isolate diversion.
"It's our greatest reward content ever, our most significant reward content," he clarified. "We've had gatherer's releases that have been inventive and generally welcomed. Be that as it may, this is replacing things in the past like night-vision goggles or GoPro cameras or Juggernaut coolers for your amusement room. This year we're putting forth a whole remastered, delightful form of one of the best diversions ever."
Be that as it may, since it's so aspiring, it clearly required a considerable measure of push to do. VentureBeat called attention to that it appears that engineer Infinity Ward profited from the change to a three-year advancement cycle: designers Treyarch.
Hirshberg affirmed that the stretched cycle was fundamental to completing Modern Warfare Remastered while additionally building up a completely fledged Zombies mode for Infinite Warfare: "Surely we never would have possessed the capacity to offer [Zombies] in the same gatherer's versionCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Ps Vita close by Modern Warfare Remastered in the event that we didn't have that additional opportunity to get this stuff right."
He kept, depicting how the Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Ps Vita implied that Activision and Infinity Ward needed to take a great deal of consideration while remastering the diversion. "Particularly [with] something like Modern Warfare Remastered[,] you can't do that gently. It's one of those diversions that is kind of cut into Mount Rushmore. We need to sweat each pixel, and that is the thing that the group has done."
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare for Ps Vita There's significantly more from Hirshberg's meeting over on VentureBeat.

National Cyber Security Awareness Month: Closing Thoughts (All Treats, No Tricks)
Here we are, 31 October, and ready to bang on doors and ask for candy with the playful question of 'Trick or Treat?' How fitting to sum up a month of thought-provoking posts regarding National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NSCAM) whereby our 'interconnectedness' requires each of us to be more vigilant than ever. Every time we knock on one of the Internet's doors, what we receive in return may not be what we're expecting. Goblins and other nefarious creatures continue to lurk in dark spaces as well as the bright light of day.
In their posts, my colleagues have discussed multiple interesting and temporal topics, as well as reviewed some best practices which continue to guide Cisco in how we approach security, be it as trusted advisors for our customers or protecting our own assets. Trust and the veracity of information is, as always, a recurring theme: do you inherently believe what you read in social media? We rely on foundational services such as DNS to help us connect to the resources that enrich our lives and grow our knowledge. But what if there is bad intent hiding behind those trusted responses? And bringing it closer to home: do you trust your vendors? At Cisco, we don't see security as an afterthought—it should be built in to every product from the ground up.
An entire month focused on cyber security may seem like hyperbole on first light. When you consider the impact of social media globally—our ever-increasing interdependence regardless of national borders and the rapid movement of so much data to 'the cloud' (yes, some of us still wince at such a fluffy characterization)—that we should spend a sole month talking about the importance of security seems almost miserly. Large vendors like Cisco need to make security part of their corporate DNA; even when on the defensive, we have to ensure that we maintain trust while sharing as many details of an event which impacts our customers, no matter how painful the situation.
I hope that sharing our thoughts during NSCAM has encouraged you to think about your own security and what you can do to continually improve your posture against malicious events. With security, as with Halloween, things may not be what they seem—whether it's the veracity of a tweet or the 40 inch-tall ghoul on your doorstep. Or more simply: do you trust the person who knocks on your door wearing a seemingly familiar costume? And this is no trick: for the best security treats, don't forget to visit the Cisco Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) Portal—Cisco's
haunted house primary outlet for security intelligence and the public home to our threat and vulnerability content. Trick or treat!
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.
