When we started the MotherWorks movement, we were determined to make our online debut on Mother's Day 2019. It mattered because we saw (and always will see) the MotherWorks website appearance as an historic moment in opening mothers' access to resume-building, purpose-driven, soul-satisfying, and, yes, resource-enhancing employment. We couldn't think of a better day to get started!
We achieved our Mothers Day launch we took a moment to celebrate–and then we got back to work. We have been working since that day–literally around the clock–to make MotherWorks better for you. We have polished the process to make the website easier to navigate. We have also added features that make it super simple for you to browse, sort, and search thousands of Fortune 500 job postings.
Next Steps: Employer Marketing
Another huge thing we are excited about is the kickoff of our marketing campaign targeted directly to employers with the message that our mothers are the skilled employees they are looking for. All employers have to do is change their thinking to focus on mothers' available time rather than traditional work hours. When they do that mothers earn what they are worth and employers pay only for focused, efficient time on the job.
We have also added employer job posting functionality that makes MotherWorks one of the easiest, most cost-effective ways for employers to post jobs. And we know it's the best way to find the most talented people out there. In addition, we are actively pursuing greater numbers of local employers. This means you will continue to see expanding access to small, medium, and large company jobs.
Our Challenge: And Yours
This isn't just some run-of-the-mill, garden variety job site. We are here to become the place where mothers finally gain the access they have been missing to meaningful work that fits their lives. So, mothers, we have to gather in large enough numbers for employers to truly take notice of us–we have to create momentum that keeps building. When we do that, the employers will knock down our doors to find us.
At the same time, we know we need to offer more and better jobs to help the movement come alive. That's the main reason behind our new marketing campaign. We are working as hard as we possibly can to create a synergy between mothers joining and employers posting that will become self-sustaining, history-making, and, most important, life-changing for mothers and their families.
To All Mothers and Those Who Have Them
The mission of MotherWorks is to open access to employment to allow more and more mothers to choose for themselves how they make a living in ways that work with raising a family. This affects all of us now, and also those to follow. If you see the possibilities and the potential for better employment access, please consider joining the MotherWorks movement whether you are currently searching for a job or not. If you are currently searching for a job, what are you waiting for? Visit Mother-works.com, create an account, and build or post your resume. Don't forget your I-Choose profile where you can show your available hours!

The craft books I most enjoy reading are tough tomes with new techniques of breaking down and analyzing recalcitrant manuscripts. But the best books on writing fiction, the ones I keep within reach on the shelf just past my teacup (Earl Grey, hot), are simple, straight-talking introductions to story structure and writing.
Like all books, books on the craft of writing fiction have their own personalities and approaches. With my own clients, I hone recommendations to an even finer point to suggest titles that will resonate with their work styles and needs. These are my current favorite best books on writing fiction for everyone.
Author's reading list
These are the books I turn to again and again for help shepherding new novelists down the road.
Story concept
A story that lacks a compelling concept will fail to rise. These books on writing fiction include strong discussions of concept.
Story Physics by Larry Brooks A cool idea isn't enough to sustain a salable novel. Plainspoken story coach Larry Brooks has a sharp sense for creating saleable concepts and premises for commercial fiction. You'll definitely take away a sense of how to get at the kernel of your story.
Anatomy of a Premise Line by Jeff Lyons Few writing experts acknowledge the value of a smart situation-based plot. Not script and book doctor Jeff Lyons. He explains the difference between story-based and situation-based novels and how to write each. Also includes a wonderful explanation of your main character's growth and change and how to bring these elements to the page in a genuine, unforced manner.
Plot and story structure
Get a handle on story structure and form with some of the best books on writing fiction.
Wired for Story by Lisa Cron Why does story structure and form even matter? This book explains how a compelling read satisfies a very basic impulse: why humans crave stories to make sense of their world.
Structuring Your Novel: Essential Keys for Writing an Outstanding Story by K.M. Weiland This book is a great introduction to classic story structure. You'll get all the essentials, and if you've run a Plot Accelerator with me, it'll be a brilliant review. Even better, the second half of the book helps you put all of that on the page via effective scenes. The companion Structuring Your Novel Workbook is helpful before, during, or after writing. (Bonus recommendation: To dig even deeper, try Outlining Your Novel: Map Your Way to Success and its companion workbook.)
Plotting Your Novel: Ideas and Structure by Janice Hardy Get this book before you begin to write. Divided into "workshops," this guide will help you plan, develop, and write your story from the earliest stages.
The Plot Whisperer by Martha Alderson Prefer a softer touch? This book presents a gentle, organic approach to classic story structure without too much lingo to wade across. The Plot Whisperer Workbook helps you apply the ideas to your own story.
The Story Grid by Shawn Coyne If you've worked with me on an edit involving book maps, Shawn Coyne's Story Grid system won't look entirely unfamiliar. This system is for you if you like spreadsheets and charting and complexity; don't even dip your toe here if you're not raring to dive down the analytical rabbit hole. The author's podcast is a favorite among many authors.
Revision & writing technique
The first draft is just the beginning. These titles help you tune your book once you have a finished manuscript to work with.
Writing the Breakout Novel Workbook by Donald Maass The companion workbook is the real star of this Donald Maass release, although the book itself's a good read too. Use the workbook to take your first draft to the next level—this is story tuning taken to the nth degree.
Revising Your Novel: First Draft to Finished Draft by Janice Hardy Revising your book means more than fiddling with commas and spelling. If you're looking for a guidebook to lead you through the revision process, this book is the answer. You'll learn to spot weaknesses from the story level through narrative technique and all the way down into the writing level.
Understanding Show, Don't Tell (And Really Getting It) by Janice Hardy Stop blindly chanting "show, don't tell" and learn when each technique is the right choice. You'll finally understand when to use scene and when to use exposition.
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King This unassuming book shows you how to strengthen your narrative technique, including show and tell, dialogue mechanics, interior monologue, beats, and point of view.
The Best Punctuation Book, Period by June Casagrande Proper punctuation isn't as simple as knowing what's right and what's wrong. Your choices should be inflected by the context of your writing. This books helps you see why the best choice for your novel isn't the same choice you'd make for your writing at work or what you read in newspapers and magazines.
Genre & category
These titles focus on specific markets.
Writing Irresistible Kidlit by Mary Kole Although this book is focused on writing children's fiction (children's, MG, and YA), agent Mary Kole offers some of the smartest advice for writing contemporary commercial fiction out there today.
The Magic Words by Cheryl B. Klein Here's another book by a children's book editor that hits all the right notes for all commercial fiction. Designed for authors of children's, MG, and YA fiction, it's smart advice for all novelists.
Romancing the Beat: Story Structure for Romance Novels by Gwen Hayes Love doesn't conquer all when it comes to writing a romance. You need to know the genre expectations to succeed in this market, and this book sets you straight.
Author's reference
These books are must-haves for every novelist's shelf.
The Magic of Fiction by Beth Hill If you buy one craft book about fiction writing, this is the one you want. With this book on your shelf, it's not necessary to do anything crazy like attempting to memorize the entire Chicago Manual of Style. All that you need is right here.
The Emotional Wound Thesaurus: A Writer's Guide to Psychological Trauma by Becca Puglisi and Angela Ackerman I'm a big fan of the entire thesaurus series for novelists, but this title distinguishes itself by helping you connect the dots of character motivation and response throughout your story.
The Dictionary of Body Language by Joe Navarro Looking for hardcore insights into the body language of your characters? The author of this book was an FBI agent for more than twenty-five years and now specializes in teaching others about nonverbal communication.
Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th Edition Sure, you can use the free version online too, but every writer needs a copy of the real thing. This is the resource recommended for fiction by the Chicago Manual of Style.
The writing life
Kick down roadblocks to your writing process with less woo-woo and more writing-fu.
The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life by Twyla Tharp Know how everyone raves about Stephen King's On Writing? I'm a Constant Reader too, but if you're looking on concrete help becoming a productive creative professional, this is the book you want—written by a choreographer, not a novelist.
Write Smart, Write Happy: How to Become a More Productive, Resilient, and Successful Writer by Cheryl St. John I'm a big fan of knowing what you're trying to achieve before you waste months to years of your life stabbing around in the dark. This book helps you work that out: goals, processes, mindset.

text: We have recently deployed Qualys, and are doing an initial mapping. The environment consists of 12 sites connected with IPSEC tunnels on Sonicwall Firewalls. When the initial mapping is completed, the reports lists 3000+ hosts. The number should be closer to 300. If I map the local subnet where the appliance is located, I get <50 as expected. Map any of the other sites, I'll get 255 hosts. We have set exclusions in IPS. However, we are still getting back 3000+ hosts. Any thoughts?

My children finish school this week and I end another work cycle. From September to effectively the end of May, I am a WAHM or Work at Home Mom. During June, July and August, I am primarily a SAHM or Stay at Home Mom.
My day to day schedule becomes more fluid for those three months. The kids retain a set bedtime, but we relax our routines. If the weather is nice, we explore different parks. If it's not so nice, we revisit a favorite museum. I take editing work with me, or write blog posts long hand while they hit the playground, but my writing work takes a back seat to togetherness. My social media time drops off as we engage in a different kind of face-time.
By the end of the summer, my ever-present notebook will be with ideas for stories that may never be written. More importantly, my kids heads will be filled with memories that they will turn into stories they share. The work is unrelenting, but I love it.

Some 70% of organizations experienced a security breach in the past year, according to a report from Cyren and Osterman Research.
Despite increased security spending, cyber incidents continue to plague organizations, as 70% of companies report being a victim of a successful attack or breach in the past year, according to a Thursday report from Cyren and Osterman Research provided exclusively to TechRepublic.
The report surveyed IT and security managers across more than 200 US and Canadian companies in different industries. Of those, 49% said they had seen their security-related costs increase by an average of 18% over the past year. No respondents reported a decrease in cybersecurity costs, the report found.
The most successful attack types reported were viruses, worms, or other malware infections (49%), phishing attacks (44%), and accidental information loss by employees or contractors (34%), the report found.
- Ransomware attacks (67%)
- A breach of sensitive or confidential data (66%)
- Phishing attacks (62%)
- Malware infiltration through HTTPS/SSL web traffic (54%)
- Targeted attacks/zero-day exploits (54%)
- Shadow IT/employees using unauthorized cloud apps and services (48%)
- Endpoints compromised by botnets (46%)
- Cryptocurrency mining malware being installed on internal PCs or servers (45%)
- Use of CPU by cryptocurrency miners when users visit websites (38%)
- Employees surfing websites that violate company policies (36%)
While professionals still consider ransomware a top threat, phishing remains the bigger problem for many in reality, the report found, as 44% of organizations said they suffered a successful phishing attack in 2018—up from 30% in 2017. Each organization faced an average of 11.4 successful phishing attacks in the past year, according to the report.
The outbreak of these attacks has led 93% of organizations to give their employees some kind of phishing awareness training, the report found, but clearly, these trainings may not be entirely effective.
"Business IT decision-makers clearly need to take a fresh look at their security in order to combat the rising tide of phishing," Michael Osterman, principal analyst of Osterman Research, said in a press release.
The big takeaways for tech leaders:
- Ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing attacks are the threats that IT and security professionals are most concerned about this year. — Cyren and Osterman Research, 2018
- 44% of organizations said they suffered a successful phishing attack in the past year. — Cyren and Osterman Research, 2018

Prince Charles pays tribute to Manchester attack victims
Such has been the relentless pace of news in recent weeks, people can be forgiven if the terrible attack on teenage concert goers in Manchester has slipped their minds.
Of course, since that explosion in Manchester Arena on a Monday night in May, we have witnessed an attack on people drinking and eating around London Bridge, an attack on people gathered in prayer at a Finsbury Park Mosque, an appalling fire in a tower block made more dangerous by sub-standard building materials, and a general election which didn't go the way anyone expected.
So, when the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall visit the scene of the suicide bomb in Manchester this afternoon, it will be a moment to take stock and remember what happened.
It is a sad fact that so many members of the Royal Family have been visiting hospitals in recent weeks.
Not to open a new wing, or herald a medical breakthrough.
But to visit those left with appalling injuries and thank the all the staff who rushed into work at a moment's notice to treat them.
Prince Charles previously went see see the victims of the Westminster Bridge attack - the first attack this year to hit the country.
The Queen and later Prince William went to hospitals in Manchester.
Charles and Camilla saw staff and patients at the Royal London where those hit or stabbed on London Bridge were treated.
Prince Charles also met the Imam at the mosque in North London.
And the Queen and Prince William went together to see survivors of Grenfell Tower.
Today, Prince Charles and Camilla will meet staff at Manchester Arena who were on the scene before the emergency services arrived.
We can only guess at the horrific sight that they must have been confronted with.
Manchester Arena will not explain why, but they have refused to allow television cameras to accompany the royal couple on their visit.
And then, at an event at Manchester's beautiful Town Hall, the couple will talk to Mancunians about the impact the attack has had on their communities.
It has to be said, the people of Manchester came together in an impressive way after being subjected to a suicide bomb attack - the first in the UK since 2005.
And the Prince of Wales has very close relations with the country's Muslim leaders.
Members of his own charity for young people, the Prince's Trust, will also be there.
We don't elect members of the Royal Family - and nor do some people support them - but at a time like this, the whole family has proved they are united with the country in grief for those killed and in gratitude for those who helped.
And at a time when politicians are disunited and argue over who is to blame for some recent events - you might agree that the Royal Family is, right now, earning its keep.
As Charles and Camilla will again show today, their role in bringing communities together in very challenging times, has never been more needed.

Shooting Grounds
Set in 130 acres of open countryside, the Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds have been providing world-class tuition since 1932.
The Holland & Holland Shooting Grounds offer unparalleled country experiences for private or corporate bookings. Whether you are seeking peace and quiet or a place to spend time with your family, the grounds offer the perfect escape from the city without venturing outside London.
The Shooting Grounds cater to both game and sporting shots with a wide range of simulated game and clay pigeon targets. Our 100-yard outside rifle range provides full facilities to test, zero, and practise rifle shooting in preparation for stalking. As well as lessons, we offer unrivalled gun-fittings and a range of courses to improve performance in the field. New additions to the layout of our grounds include wild-flower meadows and a cosy bothy to relax in between stands.
In the new lodge, Holland & Holland's rifle Shooting Cinema, unique to the UK, allows you to practise on interactive film clips of running boar and other quarry with live, full-power ammunition.
Benefitting from extensive renovations, the lodge now offers a wealth of new facilities. The sumptuous lounge and well-stocked copper-top bar serve a British Menu created by chef Joshua Hunter. Light breakfasts and lunches are all made with locally-sourced ingredients and can be enjoyed by the fire or outside on the terrace after shooting. Whilst the events spaces can seat up to 200 people for private and corporate events, for more intimate gatherings, the exquisite new Bordeaux Wine Room can host dinners for 16 people, boasting 1,184 bottles of red Bordeaux wine, on display across one wall. Mainly featuring Chateau Canon and Rauzan-Segla, as well as Chateau Mouton Rothschild, Berliquet, Cheval Blanc, Lafite, and Leoville-Barton amongst other wines. A cigar-tasting lounge is soon to follow.

Top Ten German Words Containing the Same Letter Three Times in a RowUnlike in English, compound words are extremely common in the German language. While in English, "maple leaf" is for example written with a space in between the two words, the German counterpart "Ahornblatt" is written as one word, not separating "Ahorn" and "Blatt". Now, sometimes the first word ends with a double letter, e.g. "Kunststoff" (plastic), and the latter starts with the same letter the other one ended with, e.g. "Flasche" (bottle). So, "plastic bottle" becomes "Kunststoffflasche" in German (with the word "Kunststoff" itself being a similar compound word of "Kunst", which means "art" or "artificial", and "Stoff", meaning "material" or "matter").
Before 1996, three letters in a row were shortened to two, but the German spelling keeps changing every couple of years and it was felt this one seemed correct.
The Top Ten German Words Containing the Same Letter Three Times in a Row
"Tea infuser"
Compound word of "Tee" (tea) and "Ei" (egg) - Martin_Canine
"Stinging nettle"
From "brennen" (to burn) and "Nessel" (nettle) - Martin_Canine
"Ballet dancer"
From "Ballett" (ballet) and "Tänzer" (dancer) - Martin_Canine
"Plastic bottle"
From "Kunststoff" (plastic, literally artificial material) and "Flasche" (bottle) - Martin_Canine
"Snow angel"
From "Schnee" (snow) and "Engel" (angel) - Martin_Canine
"Bright purple"
From "hell" (bright) and "lila" (purple) - Martin_Canine
"Maritime transport", "shipping"
From "Schiff" (ship) and "Fahrt" (journey, cruise).
Not to be confused with "Schiffsfahrt", compounded of the same two words, but meaning "boat trip" - Martin_Canine
"Fast paced"
From "schnell" (fast). "Lebig" is not an actual word unless as a compound word in combination with adjectives such as "schnell", "kurz" (short), "lang" (long),... - Martin_Canine
"Elephant seal"
From "See" (lake or sea, depending on the article) and "Elefant" (elephant) - Martin_Canine
"Bed sheet"
From "Bett" (bed) and "Tuch" (cloth) - Martin_Canine

So the other night I was enjoying a very good scotch or 3, and I ended up on this Business Liquidation Auction site I frequent (I have bought a lot of good tools a nice Air Compressor etc from this site in the past) and they had this truck for sale.
Very few people had bid on it, and I possibly a little drunk put in this lowball bid that ended up winning all in with Auction Fees for $3000. I was shocked, now I have been looking for a small Truck to do some light duty Towing minor hauling essentially Honda Ridgeline type stuff.
So the question is what do I do with this 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 Short Bed Regular Cab?
The Good:
Runs strong, Shifts good, throws no codes
The Bad:
It is a bit beat up, Needs a drivers Mirror and a drivers Seat Belt
The tint on the drivers window is horrible
Next nice weekend we have when the world sketchiest self service car wash with hot water is open I will delouse the thin inside and out, it is full of Junk, and probably decided it is 45 degrees out and raining in Atlanta today so I'm not going to mess with it right now.
So What do you think Oppo for $3000 did I win or lose?

A good business website always incorporates SEO techniques into their marketing mix. Search engine optimization means that your website will rise to the top of search results for terms related to your website in engines like Google. Read on to increase your knowledge on this topic.
As you tweak your website's search engine focus, don't give into the thought that advertising is the great way to higher rankings. While advertising on some other sites can boost your traffic and your income, it can't boost rankings.
Search engine optimization can be accomplished by many techniques. When the system is efficient, results will be more relevant. A more satisfying experience will be the outcome.
Pay-per-click affiliate marketing programs can be very good in increasing business. Though the amount paid per each click is low, it's one of the easiest options to offer affiliates and can generate acceptable earnings over time.
Look at the source codes on other sites. You can see how they use SEO and the keywords they use. You can use some of these methods if you feel it will help your site.
Use header tags to your advantage. They can be a bit too big sometimes, but use CSS and change their size. Since search engine use headers in the ranking of websites, these tags are very important. Also, utilize H1 or H2 tags for important information about your goods or services.
You can try making a robot. txt file, which must be added to the root directory. This will prevent the search engines from getting to certain files that are on your website.
To hide something, create a robots. txt file that needs to be inserted into the main directory. This prevents search engines from gaining access to certain files on your site.
One effective technique for SEO is to start a blog related to your website. Blogs are a great way to move up the search rankings as they are constantly updated: this makes them easy for search engine algorithms to find and rank. If you want your website to receive high rankings on the results page, then it is essential to have backlinks.
Don't use dynamic queries if you can avoid it. A URL like www.mysite.com?sid=100&mode=q may not even be indexed. Meaningful URLs and relevant keywords make it easier for the search engines to read your pages. This means your website has a better chance at higher visibility.
Consider using an article exchange service rather exchanging links. This means that you will use an article created by a different website owner, and post it on your website. You will then need to credit the author with the help of a link to their site, and they will do the same for you on their site. This strategy will help to keep your site more efficient.
Using a product feed will give your business a more visible presence and help draw more potential customers to your website. These feeds contain details about the services and products that you offer, like prices and item descriptions. Your feed should be submitted to important sites like major search engines or comparison sites. Customers can also subscribe to your feed with a feed reader.
Social Media
Before beginning a website, research information about your keywords. You should focus on the correct keywords during website design and you should incorporate your keywords into your titles. When you research keywords, you can learn the phrases people are using when searching for subjects related to your site. Mention these keywords often to increase your site traffic.
Learn all you can about social media and how it can benefit your SEO planning. This means more than just signing up at the popular social media sites like Facebook or Yelp. There are specialized sites which may fall within your niche. Join relevant sites and use them to drive more traffic to your site.
It is important to produce and add new content frequently. Outline weekly writing goals to keep yourself on track. If you are constantly updating your site with new content, it will be looked upon favorably by search engines. Featuring new content frequently will earn the site a much better ranking.
Make sure to have a good description tag to get your site's search engine ranking up. This particular tag should be thirty words or less. You will need to keep the size of this page under 100kb.
Captions for images, articles and other content pieces are great optimization tactics. Use captions filled with keywords to help increase your website's visibility and traffic.
There's a lot to search engine optimization, but as was stated earlier in the article, it's absolutely essential to make sure your website gets the business it deserves. Make sure to apply these techniques to your website, as soon as possible, so that you can start getting more customers and more profits.
Use the local listing options available from Google and Yahoo to improve your sites visibility. Being listed gives you added visibility to potential customers for free. Don't ever turn down a chance for free publicity.

London's best private members' clubs for professionals
London has a fine tradition of private members' clubs, and a recent upsurge in popularity has seen new names added to the raft of old boys' drinking dens. Joining these are a series of private clubs that have perfected the art of mixing business with pleasure, and taken it to a whole new level. Think of it as the 21st century way to do business, with networking, socialising and co-working (the holy trinity of modern workplaces) at the heart of these new ventures. Join one of these three clubs, and watch your career soar.
Ten Trinity Square, The City
A members' club with an international edge. Situated in the heart of the City, in an impressive 1920s domed and colonnaded building, Ten Trinity Square is where you'll meet the movers and shakers of the global business world. With the aim of facilitating international trade, networking and cultural exchange, the club boasts meeting rooms, a cigar lounge and a billiard room. There's also the Château Latour Discovery Room, which celebrates the unique relationship between the club and the Médoc winemaker, and complements the restaurant, helmed by Michelin-starred Anne Sophie-Pic. For all its amusements, however, this is a club designed with business at the fore. They're even launching a new membership aimed at 'Future Business Leaders' aged 30 and under, providing unrivalled access to Ten Trinity Place, and a smart-thinking programme of events, live debates, business challenges and networking opportunities.
12 Hay Hill, Mayfair
A luxury private members' club created with business in mind, 12 Hay Hill in Mayfair combines the concept of a classic London club with the contemporary idea of a co-working environment. High-spec work spaces, meeting rooms and business spaces take care of all your professional needs, while the restaurant, bar and lounge areas are meant for relaxation – or for impressing your clients and brokering that next deal. There's also exclusive talks, events and lectures that members can book in to, from luxury travel to the future of business. It's a 21st century update of the traditional members' club – and all the better for it.
Mortimer House, Fitzrovia
In a head-turning six-floor Art Deco building in the heart of Fitzrovia, private members' club Mortimer House is all about finding that balance between work and play. Meant for those looking to create, work and unwind in equal measure, Mortimer House has co-working spaces, boardrooms, and individual offices, as well as a lounge, restaurant, gym and meditation room. Designed with finding a holistic way to navigate the dual needs of work and life in mind, it offers a range of membership tiers for busy working people, from the 'Social' option for networking creatives, to the 'Resident' choice, for freelancers and entrepreneurs.

EchoStar Fires Back at NAB
EchoStar Communications Corp. will scrap its two-dish policy when broadcasters return their analog spectrum.
That was EchoStar Chairman Charlie Ergen's response to a letter from NAB to the Senate Commerce Committee Tuesday telling legislators to make that two-dish policy illegal.
Ergen sent his letter to Fritts as well as to the committee.
EchoStar says that due to a lack of satellite capacity, it needs two dishes to provide all the stations in a market. By law, it must carry all the stations in a market if it wants to carry any. NAB suggested in the letter that Ergen had no intention of ending the practice unless forced by Congress, which it suggested did not jibe with EchoStar's initial promise that two dishes would be a temporary solution.
"The only broken pledge in this issue is the one in which the broadcasters promised by 2002 to be broadcasting their digital signal to the same audience that receives their analog signal," said Ergen. "We do not see the same kind of progress on the broadcasters' side, and we sympathize with consumers who thought they would have a high-definition signal over the air by now."
Satellite companies are pushing for the right to deliver distant digital signals to homes that cannot receive a local digital signal. They are already allowed to deliver a distant analog signal to unserved homes, though NAB, and the courts, have taken issue with just how EchoStar comes to that determination.
Ergen says that EchoStar is eager to convert to single dishes given the cost of supplying a free second one, and points out that it needs the two dishes in only 38 of the 127 markets that it serves. "We believe that EchoStar is making solid, measurable progress toward its goal of providing local channels in all 210 DMA's, isolating all local channels within a market to one dish. We do not see the same progress on the broadcasters' side.

A Conversation With The Authors of Investment: A History
What will readers find in Investment: A History?
The book explains key elements in the long history of investment. Each chapter includes important stories and lessons that are intended to illustrate crucial dimensions of the investment world, as they have developed over the centuries. Our goal is to increase understanding of the investment practices and opportunities of today by understanding the history of investing.
In broad scope, what are the most important findings in the book?
Readers will be surprised to find out how remarkably uncomplicated it is to be a sensible investor, and in that regard we identified four basic investing principles.
First, look at every investment as "real." That is, when you invest, you own the underlying asset—e.g., with stocks you are buying a piece of a corporation. Don't be distracted by the paper form of the investment. Understand the basics of whatever entity you are buying.
Second, it's all about fundamental value, where "value" is determined by the value today of future cash flows that the investment may produce over its lifetime.
Third, intelligent use of financial leverage is a legitimate tool for investors; in fact, it has helped build most of the great fortunes of history. Of course, excessive leverage can be extremely dangerous because all leverage will multiply returns—either positively or negatively.
Finally, the most basic management skill is resource allocation.
Investing did not always exist in its current form. What were the precursors to the current investment landscape?
With ancient and pre-modern investment, we emphasize three areas: the basic investment vehicles of early history; the extreme inequality in the distribution of investment opportunity and benefit; and the surprising sophistication of some early investment vehicles and strategies.
We believe that, to grasp the reality and significance of investment as a fundamental human activity, it's necessary to begin in ancient times and understand the roles of agricultural land, lending and trade in the ancient world. At the same time it is important to acknowledge that by today's standards it took an astonishing amount of wealth and power to even qualify as an "investor". Finally, we felt it was essential to understand that in some respects—despite a lack of investment diversity and the absence of equality—investment even in those early days had features that were remarkably sophisticated and prescient.
How has investing changed over time?
Although most people today don't seem to regard investment or even capitalism as very democratic or egalitarian, in fact a dramatic democratic transition occurred from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. This transition was facilitated by the advent of joint stock companies and public markets, combined with the Industrial Revolution. In subsequent centuries, we have benefited from broad diversification of investment opportunities, limited liability, and public availability—not to mention accumulated savings in the hands of the average person, allowing many more of us to take advantage of those opportunities. The effect has been dramatic, even though there is a lot more to be accomplished. The democratization of investment is one of the greatest economic changes in history, and there is a lot to be learned from understanding it.
Can you give an example the kinds of change you are talking about?
The concept and funding of retirement were radical and new as recently as 150 years ago. This struggle to provide for old age and infirmity and to support well-earned leisure for the average person is interesting and important. Today we all take for granted a wide range of public and private retirement benefits, but in order to succeed, this new thing called "retirement" needed to be funded in some way. Building those funding structures was difficult and controversial, and the debate continues to this day. Tracing that history is very instructive.
As investment underwent a "democratization," what kinds of new opportunities emerged?
Beginning in the eighteenth century, new forms of investments began to emerge, as well as new types of investors who were not members of the socioeconomic elite. The needs of these new investors were met by life insurance, savings accounts, investment advisory relationships, and mutual funds. These developments represented a new form of economic freedom, one previously unavailable to the vast majority of people throughout history. This new freedom was supported by expanding the types of vehicles available to help these investors put their accumulated surpluses to work. These investors and instruments made up the core of nineteenth and twentieth century investing and continue to this day to be the mainstays of individual and institutional investors. Understanding these elements of the investment world is essential to grasping the possibilities and challenges of investment for and by everyone.
In addition, the last 40 years have brought dramatic advances in investment vehicles and improved access to desirable outcomes for investors. This includes a whole range of investment alternatives (e.g., hedge funds, private equity investments, and real estate funds) in addition to simple "passive" investments like index funds and Exchange Traded Funds. This blizzard of new investment choices has arrived with dramatic force, affecting sophisticated and unsophisticated investors alike.
But in this new world of investing all participants are not equal—why is that and is it changing?
As assets under management in the investing business skyrocketed over the past several decades, so did the financial rewards to professional investors of independence and innovation. Rewards to some investment professionals whom we might call the "New Elite" are mind-boggling, while superior performance is far from assured. This evolution of a New Elite has raised questions concerning efficiency and fairness. Today investment is more democratic, but it's not yet equal. The average investor lacks access to many of the alternative strategies available to elite investors—i.e., the wealthy and large institutions. At the same time, some investing professionals have used modern investment theory to create low-cost alternatives. Indexed mutual funds are a good example of how the average investor can obtain in a low-cost, highly accessible investment vehicle.

Summertime reading is different than reading the rest of the year.We as a people tend to give ourselves permission to take a break from the respectable, responsible grind of reading for work or school or just to learn. Summer is the time to indulge in the "beach read", those books that let you escape. They let you be somebody else, to go on adventures through time and space. Because of all the different activities to be involved in, we find our attention fragmented. Unless we have extended periods of uninterrupted time, like a long car trip, we need a read that we can pick up and put down to take care of the distractions.
For me, this summer's reading has had to be be something that if I only have 10 minutes to read right now and I won't get back to it until tomorrow before bed, it will still be okay. It will be the kind of story that won't require me to maintain an extended train of thought. If I have time to press on in the story because I am being carried along by the adventure, great! But if I can only read a page or two (at least enough to get a scene finished), well I will still be okay because I at least got a little read time in.
My summertime reading this year has been revisits of old friends mixed in with the discovery of some new authors, who I will share about at another time. Sweeping romances, cozy mysteries, cookbooks, and specialty diets. Oh, and a few motivational business books too. A friend of mine, Randy Dean released his book, Radiance, earlier this year. I had read through the week it came out and have it on my pile of books to re-read. My plan is to do that by the end of September. Notice I am giving myself permission to wait until after serious reading time starts again to accomplish this goal.
So what has been you favorite beach read so far this summer?

Finding downloads for Red Hat Linux and Fedora
Our expert tells you about compatibility between Red Hat offerings and where you can get downloads for them.
I installed Red Hat Linux 4ES. I want to download something for it but I cannot find any apps that refer to Red Hat Linux 4ES, only to Fedora 386 or Fedora 486. I searched all over my system for help, but with no luck. How am I supposed to know what to download for Red Hat Linux?
Fedora, or the Fedora Project, is a Red Hat sponsored community and a free open source product, unlike Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) which will cost you money. There are different types of distributions of Red Hat Linux 4. ES is the entry/mid-level server version. Also available are Red Hat AS (high end server), WS (the high end client) and Red Hat Desktop, the general purpose client. The one that you think you have, the ES version, is marketed as an entry level mid-range product for x86. It can support up to two CPUs and 16GB of RAM. Other than its support for larger systems, it can do most everything else that AS can do. To clear up the confusion surrounding AS, ES and WS, Red Hat has eliminated this structure in RHEL5. The new model that Red Hat has created around Fedora and RHEL has been so successful that Sun is even copying it now for their future Solaris plans.
Regarding your problem, I don't know why you are seeing references to Fedora. You might not have the version you think you do. Try this.
[root --> _29_138_66 proc]# uname -a && cat /etc/*release Linux 172_29_138_66.dal-ebis.ihost.com 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:14 EST 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5 (Tikanga) [root@172_29_138_66 proc]#
As you can see from my output, I am running RHEL5. What do you see when you try it? From an application standpoint, most everything that runs on Fedora should run on RHEL and vice versa. If you want a version of RHEL4, download it from Red Hat.

Routine use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) for the treatment of cardiovascular disease is well established.1,2 However, because most randomized controlled trials have excluded patients with advanced chronic kidney disease,3 the role of ACEIs/ARBs in chronic dialysis patients remains poorly defined. Our objective was to determine whether ACEI/ARB use is associated with a reduction in mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events in older chronic dialysis patients.
We conducted a retrospective, population-based cohort study using linked health care databases in Ontario, Canada. To minimize bias, we used a new-user study design.4 The study population was composed of older chronic dialysis patients in Ontario (age ≥66 years) who were newly treated with ACEIs/ARBs, calcium channel blockers (CCBs), or statins between July 1, 1991, and July 31, 2007. We selected new treatment with ACEIs/ARBs as the exposure group and new treatment with CCBs or statins-only as the comparator groups to minimize confounding by indication and because CCBs and statins have not been shown to be clearly beneficial in this population. We excluded patients with missing demographic information or incomplete drug records.
Patients were stratified into 1 of 3 mutually exclusive treatment groups (ACEI/ARB, CCB, or statin) and were prospectively observed for up to 5 years, or March 31, 2010. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause mortality or hospitalization for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, heart failure (HF), or coronary revascularization. Secondary end points included each component of the primary end point. We used an intention-to-treat approach. We estimated event-free survival by the Kaplan-Meier method and used the log-rank test for comparison. We used standardized differences to compare baseline characteristics in the 3 treatment groups, and Cox proportional hazards regression, adjusting for age, sex, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, HF, dialysis duration, and the Deyo-Revised Charlson Comorbidity score.5-7
During the study period, we identified 1950 older chronic dialysis patients in Ontario who initiated treatment with 1 of the study drug classes. There were no systematic differences in the baseline characteristics between the treatment groups (Table 1). There was no significant difference in event-free survival among the 3 groups (log-rank P = .12). In multivariable analysis, the use of ACEIs/ARBs was not independently associated with a reduction in the primary outcome (hazard ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.84-1.13) or secondary outcomes compared with the CCB group (Table 2). Similar results were obtained when the ACEI/ARB group was compared with the statin-only group.
In this population-based cohort study of chronic dialysis patients older than 65 years, new use of ACEIs or ARBs was not independently associated with an overall reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. Data from previous randomized controlled trials and observational studies have been conflicting. This study offers unique insights into the use of ACEIs/ARBs in chronic dialysis patients through its new-user study design.4 Although this new-user study design has not been used extensively in chronic dialysis patients, it allows for a less biased evaluation of the "real world" safety and effectiveness of secondary prevention therapies in such patients, in contrast to randomized controlled trials, which often recruit highly selected healthier patients.8,9
We focused on chronic dialysis patients older than 65 years, who are the most underrepresented in clinical trials.9 Despite their high baseline cardiovascular risk, as evidenced by the high event rate in our study, treatment benefit with ACEIs/ARBs was not observed. Another strength of our study was the large unselected cohort of incident dialysis patients observed for longer periods to more accurately assess the cardiovascular effects of ACEIs/ARBs.
Important limitations of our study are that drug therapy was not randomly assigned, and we analyzed classes of drugs rather than individual drugs. We selected our control groups with the expectation that these would serve as nonactive comparators. If statin or CCB use can indeed confer cardiovascular protection in chronic dialysis patients, our comparative analysis may have attenuated any observed benefit of ACEIs/ARBs.
In conclusion, our data suggest that use of ACEI or ARB therapy in chronic dialysis patients may not favorably impact cardiovascular outcomes. Compared with patients with normal kidney function, chronic dialysis patients may not derive the same cardiovascular benefit from ACEI/ARB use. Given the substantial cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the expanding chronic dialysis patient population, a large definitive randomized controlled trial of ACEIs/ARBs is warranted.

Montecristo founder Pasquale Cusano was born in Foggia, Italy. His family moved to the countryside of Florence to work the land of a small farm harvesting olives for olive oil and grapes for wine. The Arno River of Florence flooded in 1966 devastating the farmland. As a result, Pasquale needed to find work and apprenticed as a plumber. He was given a motorino (scooter) to travel to jobs. It was a rare opportunity to drive around Florence and admire the historic buildings and shops. One of his favourite shops was Settepassi, a small independent jewellery store. He was awed by the offerings in the windows and inspired by the idea that beauty could be worn, and made by an artisan's skilled hand.

Understated, quiet, celebrity-less. Dishy Dhoni's wedding has left us outside the boundary.india Updated: Jul 06, 2010 22:21 IST
When Captain Marvellous signals that he is no longer playing the field but is about to enter into a long-term partnership with his girlfriend, what do we expect? That the groom will gallop to the venue on an Arabian steed with the baraat in the formation of a cricket bat, the festivities to be held at Wankhede stadium, Sir Vivian Richards will give away the bride and the flowers will come from the late Sir Donald Bradman's private garden? Of course, all that and much more.
But the now lock-less Dhoni had to go and spoil it all for us by stepping into the matrimonial pavilion in a low-key affair, away from our covetous eyes with few celebrity guests. In fact, we'd hardly have known much except for the tweets from the pneumatic Bipasha Basu whose muscle-bound boyfriend was a star attraction at the Dhoni do. In case any Poirot-like reporter was going to track down the remains of the wedding, the next day was a Bharat bandh. Smart timing, Dhoni, almost better than that on the pitch. Why could he not have been like other celebrities and let it all hang out? Take, for example, the Sania-Shoaib wedding. From certain stained garments to Shoaib's mangled tweets in what we presume was the English language, the pair left no tome unturned in telling us all the details of their love.
Now, that's more like it. In a day and age, when public relations firms are hired to give us an intimate look at things, we think it a bit unfair that Dhoni chose to keep it private and, heaven forbid, in good taste. We hope that he will see the error of his ways and perhaps sell some cosy pictures to the highest bidder. Come on, we have some standards to maintain, even if they be a bit low. As of now, we are Mahi disappointed.

Whether you're a horror fan who favors slashers, werewolf flicks, or blood-and-guts gore, you surely can appreciate a film that brings the laughs as well as the fear. If you're in the midst of a month-long horror movie binge for Halloween and need something lighthearted and campy, here are 10 films worth checking out.
The Stuff (1985)
Related Posts
While writer/director Larry Cohen's The Stuff has some genuinely scary moments and provides blunt commentary on the ridiculous nature of rampant consumerism, it's hard not to laugh at a film about killer alien marshmallow fluff.
The Little Shop of Horrors (1960, remade in 1986)
Roger Corman, the "King of B-Movies," created his masterpiece in 1960. The Little Shop of Horrors is the story of a meek flower shop employee, Seymour, who nurtures a special plant that eats humans — and forces him to kill so that it may feed. The original version features a 23-year-old Jack Nicholson as Wilbur Force, a masochistic patient of a sadistic dentist. The 1986 musical remake may be even better than the original, with an all-star cast including Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Bill Murray, John Candy, and Christopher Guest.
Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986)
Class of Nuke 'Em High is one of the most underrated Troma films ever made. While Tromeo and Juliet and The Toxic Avenger are given more attention, this film is unbelievably funny. A school gang picks leaves from some weeds located next to the nuclear power plant and sells it to classmates to smoke. In turn, the radioactive "marijuana" causes superpowers and impregnates one of the girls with a monster baby — and that's just in the first part of the movie.
Re-Animator (1985)
In 1922, famed author HP Lovecraft penned a short story entitled "Herbert West–Reanimator," a parody of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. While the story is generally regarded as Lovecraft's poorest work, it spawned a film, Re-Animator, that is pure gold. Fantastic campy acting by Jeffrey Combs, extreme gore, and a bizarre premise combine with plenty of dark humor to make this one of the most memorable horror flicks of the '80s.
Night of the Comet (1984)
While more humorous in concept than execution, Night of the Comet's premise of two California "valley girls" in a shopping mall fighting off a zombie invasion caused by a passing comet is ridiculous enough to make the list. Whether the campiness of the film was intentional or incidental (due to the time period it is a product of) is debatable, but it's well worth a watch regardless.
