A window of opportunity.
The increase in demand for MRI services opens a window of opportunity for putting up a provider-based delivery of such service which will serve as an additional source of revenue for our established orthopedic surgery practice. The fulfillment of such plans equates to addressing the population's needs with the assurance of having a highly competitive and innovative technology that is the portable Magnetic Resonance Imaging device.
A vision of a healthy population who is continually provisioned with the highest quality medical services that are reasonably priced.
As the administrator, it lies in your hands to come up with a feasible plan for the business. Several challenges have been identified which are to be later on discussed. Due to such, it becomes a primary task at hand to justify and go beyond these challenges to see how this business will make it and flourish eventually. Pushing through with this project and succeeding greatly lies in the vision that you have with regards to this opportunity.
And such vision would be to provide the highest quality medical services that other providers cannot compete with.
The most effective leaders are the ones who are able to cascade their vision down to their subordinates. Without such influence, the vision could turn awry in the future. It is of utmost importance that the administrator be able to make all the people involved realize the significance of the opportunity at hand. From there, he should be able to mobilize them towards achieving the vision through appropriate actions.
People, policies, communication and coordination are the structures that will make up this organization.
Management. It is management's responsibility to handle all administrative concerns of this organization. As such, the formulation of all policies and guidelines with regards to the operations of this new business...

If you are 54 to 74 years of age you are FIVE TIMES more likely to have HEPATITIS C!
Schedule your FREE screening for Hepatitis C by calling 816-404-7410.
Eleven screening locations are available.
The CDC recommends a Hepatitis C test if you:
Hepatitis C is a potentially life-threatening disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. It is contracted through blood-to-blood contact with an infected person which can happen in a variety of different ways. Hepatitis C often has no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage so you may not be aware that you have the disease.
The reason that people born between 1945–1965 have high rates of hepatitis C is not completely understood. The CDC Website reports that most baby boomers are believed to have become infected in the 1960s through the 1980s when transmission of hepatitis C was highest.
The good news is that all it takes is a blood test to find out if you have Hepatitis C and according to the FDA most cases of Hepatitis C can be cured with a daily combination of pills over a period of just 12 weeks.
Hepatitis-C Symptoms:
People with new Hepatitis C virus infections usually do not have symptoms.
When hepatitis-c symptoms do occur, they may include:

2013 Spring Fashion Trends I WON"T Be Wearing. . . . .
well, it's official.
i'm pretty much gonna be the girl around town in jeans
(surprise, surprise) or home in my jammies.
because fashions are pretty hopeless these days.
not that i'm a slave to fashion. . . . .
but since it does influence what is in the stores,
i do read about it a teeny bit and try to adapt for me. . . .a real person.
like the blog post i did about Mint Green.
I mean, emerald is the bigger color, but to me,
emerald is fall and winter, not spring.
so i chose to focus on mint, which is also popular for a pastel green.
this is the "official"(?) color chart for spring.
they "say" you can veer off it to create your custom tone.
well, thank you for that.
geez. . . .
and not included is black and white, which is supposedly VERY big.
(note. . . .I have nothing against black and white. My "NOT" to wear
list is after the black and white photo.)
list is after the black and white photo.)
but let's get to the real juicy part of this blog post,
what i will NOT be wearing this spring. . . . .
1. Exaggerated Volume.
i'm serious...that's what they call this trend.
well, NO THANK YOU!
I don't need to exaggerate anything these days.
uggghhhhh. . . .
let's see Heidi Klum wear this!:)
even Tim Gunn couldn't "make it work"!
2. Gaudy, all-over Stripes!
Yikes. . . .prisoner fashion is not for me.
now, maybe a subtle stripe in a nautical tee or something.
still not me but not awful. . . .and kinda cute for some.
but this? you think I'm kidding, don't you?
well, i saw stuff like this at the stores this week.
regular stores for regular people like me,
not high end stores.
so be warned. . . . .the stripes are out there;)
3. Funky Sunglasses
not me.
not anyone over age 5, i would think.
or not for anyone whose name isn't Taylor Swift.
(even then, it doesn't make them right!:)
4.. Cutout Fashion
ya, right!
but the sad thing is, i saw lots of cute blouses like this.
please, now i have to find a cami to go under it and. . . . .
too much work.
and those dresses. . . . . . whatever.
5. Leather for Spring. . . .
IF i was ever a leather person,
it was in coats.
oh wait, i think in my college years i had a VERY appropriate
leather skirt.
that i wore to CHURCH. . . .
with a nice sweater.
in the WINTER!
which pretty much beats anything they wear these days.
and to think i caused such a scandal. . .
(hahaha. . . .)
6. Pretty Much anything that strikes me as ugly. . .
be it a print, a color, a cut. . . . .
or low pointy shoes that make my size 9ish feet look like
a size 14.
just sayin. . . . .
okay, that does it.
since the heat down here does kinda get to me,
can i hibernate for a while?
in jammies???
because i have to be honest. . . .
this is MUCH more my style!:)
happy friday!

Oh-Can you believe the styles?? Those big ugly dresses were "tent" dresses back in the 60's and even then they were stitched high and swung away from the body in a V form. UGH-UGH-UGH to just about everything I see here..xo Diana ps...back in my "hey day"..lol...I "mighta" had a gold lame dress with cut out sides...oh and maybe a blue summer one,too...but-it WAS cool back then. xo DianaReplyDelete

NASCAR champion dies in small plane crash in Sterling
STERLING — A former NASCAR champion died in a single engine plane crash that took place Sunday afternoon.
Motorsport.com reported that the plane's pilot was seven-time NASCAR Modified Tour champion Mike Stefanik, 61.
According to a release from state police, troopers responded to an ultralight aircraft accident in the area of Plainfield Pike in Sterling.
Police said, upon arriving, troopers found that an Aerolite 103, single engine, single seat aircraft had taken off from the Riconn Airport in Rhode Island, and while turning back toward the airfield, crashed into a wooded area adjacent to the airport.
The accident remains under investigation.
Motorsport reported that Stefanik won 74 NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour races in 453 starts, as well as seven championships between 1989 and 2006. He was also a two-time Busch North Series champion, now known as the K&N Pro Series East division.
According to Motorsport, NASCAR Chairman and CEO Jim France released a statement saying that Stefanik "was one of the most successful drivers in NASCAR history, but even more so, he was a true representative of our sport. His tough, competitive nature and excellence on the race track won him the respect and admiration of fans and competitors alike."

"A destined-to-be classic . . . Hayder's work and characters are worth the unending nightmares they will inspire."— The New York Times Book Review
Edgar Award winner and international best-seller Mo Hayder is known for her nightmarishly dark, impeccably-plotted thrillers. In Wolf, now in paperback, Hayder ratchets up the terror yet another notch with a bone-chilling novel about a family held hostage in their country home. When a vagrant—the Walking Man, a recurring character in Hayder's fiction—finds a dog wandering alone with a scrap of paper with the words "HELP US" attached to its collar, he's sure it's a desperate plea from someone in trouble and calls on Detective Inspector Jack Caffery to investigate. Caffery is reluctant to get involved—until the Walking Man promises in exchange new information regarding the childhood disappearance of Caffery's brother. Meanwhile, the Anchor-Ferrers, a wealthy local family, are fighting for their lives in their remote home ten miles away. As their ordeal becomes increasingly bizarre and humiliating, the family begins to wonder: is this really a random crime, or have they been chosen for a reason?
"The home invasion novel to end all home invasion novels . . . Not unlike John Connolly's Charlie Parker novels or T. Jefferson Parker's Charlie Hood books. Wolf is exceptionally original in premise and nightmarish in its rendering." — BookPage
"Mo Hayder is a master of ratcheting up tension throughout a book—to the point that one must simply finish it before doing anything else. Such is the case with Wolf." — Deadly Pleasures (Rating: A-)
"Mo Hayder's books featuring Jack Caffery are always an entertaining and engaging read, and this one doesn't disappoint."— Euro Crime

Troy-Bilt Trimmer Line Spool Repair
Troy-Bilt makes gas, electric and battery-powered string trimmers, all of which have a housing that contains the bump-feed head, trimmer line spool, internal spring and trimmer line. When there's a problem with any of these parts, trimming suddenly becomes difficult to impossible. Fortunately, repairing the integral parts of the trimmer that control the spool is something almost any homeowner can do with the proper tools and knowledge. The repair begins with a comprehensive examination of the parts and ends with the replacement of any that are damaged.
Examine the housing that holds the spool in place. Because it's made of plastic, look for cracks in the housing that may cause the line to catch or feed improperly. Check for any rough edges on the interior of the housing unit that may cause the line to catch as well. Replace the housing if it's damaged.
Push in on the tabs that hold the bump head in place to release it from the housing. Examine the bump head to ensure that it has no cracks or protrusions. If it is damaged, purchase the proper replacement part and install it on the machine.
Pull the spool from the trimmer and examine it for cracks or unusual protrusions. Use a rag to remove any dirt or debris. Ensure that the trimmer line is wound correctly around the spool. Look for the arrows that guide you on which way to wind the trimmer line around the spool. Make sure that the string is secured in the groove that holds it tight, wound securely around the spool and fed out the holes that allow it to protrude for trimming.
Remove the spring from the trimmer head and examine it for rust, breakage or bends that vary from the normal shape. A spring that is in poor condition may not hold the spool and bump head in place, causing the spool to malfunction. If necessary, replace the spring with a shiny new one.
Reassemble the components of the string trimmer head. Insert the spring, place the loaded spool on top of it and click the bump-head into position to hold all of the parts in place.
Things Needed
- Rag
- Trimmer line
- Replacement parts, if needed
- Avoid overfilling the spool with trimmer line. Overfilling prevents the spool from turning freely and releasing string as it should.
- Always purchase replacement parts that are made for your particular model of trimmer. Even slight differences in parts may cause the trimmer to perform imperfectly.

Unusual Architecture in Africa
Africa is a terrific place for those willing to discover its architecture. While in the big cities you can find more conventional buildings, skyscrapers, European-style churches and mosques (most of which can be found in North Africa) in the least urban areas of Africa true marvels of architecture are waiting to be admired and photographed. So get ready to walk the least beaten paths of African tourism and discover the unusual architecture in Africa:
Great Mosque of Djenné
Made of mud and tree trunks, the mosque in Djenne is indeed a remarkable piece of architecture. The construction has about the same size as the big medieval cathedrals in Europe, just that it's not as old – it dates back to the early 20th century. But it was its originality and not its history which made the Great Mosque of Djenné to be listed as a world heritage site.
Nubian Pyramids
The so-called Nubian Pyramids in Sudan seem like the smaller replicas of the great pyramids in Egypt. And just like the latter, these serves as tombs for the kings and queens of Kushite (an ancient people) kingdom. However, the Nubian pyramids that can be admired at Meroe in Sudan are significantly different in terms of their shape and proportions and represent an interesting alternative to the well-known monuments in neighbouring Egypt.
Ganvie, Benin
This village in Benin is among the most unusual in the whole Africa: out of safety reasons, the villagers have decided to build their homes above the waters of a big lake. Just like in a rural Venice, the streets are represented by canals and the only means of transportation are boats. The houses are suspended above the water on thick logs (in time, these become petrified under water).
Antananarivo, Madagascar
The capital of Madagascar represents an interesting blend of architectural styles. Malagasy architecture was well developed in the medieval ages and even after the arrival of Europeans some trends continue to persist in the architecture of Antananarivo. You can usually recognize a traditional Malagasy house by its rectangular form, with two or more stories and a wooden veranda.
Mellah of Tazart, Morocco
This desert town is not necessarily famous for its architecture but rather for the fact that it represents one of the biggest ghost cities in Africa. A mellah is the Moroccan version of a Jewish getto – or more exactly a fortified Jewish neighbourhood. The mellah was abandoned years ago, after a great draught – however its walls are still intact and make a dramatic contrast against the Atlas ranges.

Title: Treatment strategies for forensic psychologists working with Juvenile fire setters and bomb makers' parents
Christine Collins is student at Alliant International University, USA
Juvenile fire setting and bomb making (JFSB) has a significant public safety and fiscal costs associated with it. Juvenile fire setting behavior goes far beyond a simple designation as "curiosity" for the youth involved in these incidents. Instead, the behavior is often a manifestation of more expanded forensically relevant psychological issues (e.g., risk assessment level and motivation). If appropriate inventions are utilized when the behaviors are identified in the early stages, then the juvenile fire setting behavior can be the primary focus of the evidenced based interventions (e.g., FATJAM). Over the past few decades an increasing amount of research has been collected in this area, and it has become apparent that one of the important factors in achieving success for these juveniles is a healthy involvement of a parent or legal guardian. Parental endorsement or denial of the fire setting behavior can impact the progress of a childs towards controlling unwanted JFSB behavior. At the same time, parents/legal guardians provide forensic mental health professionals with important information as to the role fire setting behavior may play in the broader clinical picture of the juvenile. Therefore, while the relationship between the juvenile and the mental health professional remains a priority, working with the parent or guardian is also concomitant intervention variable that must be pursued in an effort to achieve the desired clinical forensic outcomes with JFSBs. This presentation will identify and explore strategies for forensic psychologists may use when working with the parents or guardians of JFSBs. Current research will be examined, while also reviewing and identifying suggestions as to where improvements can be made.

Who We Are
St. John's Catholic Church in Ogden had its beginning in 1869 whean a priest from Boone began offering Mass in the homes of Ogden parishioners. In the late 1870's, the land west of the Des Moines River was attached to the Grand Junction parish. This arrangement continued for about 20 years.
In December of 1896, Father JF O'Doherty was appointed as the first pastor of St. John's, and a parish house was constructed. Father DK Hurley came in November 1898, followed by Father HC Hart and Father JC Murtagh. In 1902, St. John's purchased the old Zion Lutheran Church and moved it to their property in the northwest part of town, dedicating it on June 27th. The next pastors were Father D'Logue, Father JG Perrault in 1903, Father L Shenkelberg in 1905, and Father A. Meyer in 1908. In 1914, Father Wolf was pastor and a large church addition was added.
In 1916, a strip of land for a cemetery was purchased east of Glenwood Cemetery, and Mrs. AM Steeberg was the first burial there.
Father J Thoennissen became pastor of St. John's in 1917, followed by Father JF Achatz, Father AJ Nuel in 1922, and Father PF Casey in 1924. Father GO O'Brine was replaced by Father T Coffey in 1930, and Father Edward Lilly followed on June 6, 1935. Fr. Lilly remained until March 1942. He was succeeded by Father Emmett McCoy, Father John Doherty in October 1942, Father J Greteman in January of 1943, Father Othmar Koester in January 1950 and Father Francis Illg in 1953. Father Donald R. Smith became pastor in June 1965.
On November 14, 1965, fourteen men of St. John's decided to build a new church. A new location of 5.2 acres was purchased and it was also decided to build a new rectory. The bid for hte new church was $136,2540. The ground breaking ceremony was held on April 18, 1967. The new church was dedicated on March 24, 1968 by the Most Reverend Joseph M. Mueller.
The bell from teh old church was placed on the outside sign, and the Stations of the Cross were relocated in the new church. The beautiful stained glass windows were designed by David Baker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Baker, members of the parish for many years. The windows tell the story of creation of Earth and man as described in the first chapter of Genesis., This is shown through symbols, colors, shapes, and lines of the windows.
Father Leo Schumacher began his duties in 1970, and Father James Fangman followed in 1982. Father Thomas Munn came in 1989, and stayed until his retirement in 1999. Father Steve McLoud served us for a year until Father James Lafferty became our pastor. Because of ill health, Father Lafferty retired in 2002 and Father Brian Danner, pastor of St. Malachy's in Madrid was assigned to our parish while continuing to serve St. Malachy's. Since then we have shared two more pastors - Father Tim Boekelman, and currently Father Jim Bruch - with St. Malachy's.

An April Fool was I for poetry,
For jests and tricks and play with irony,
Fooling the Muse with rhyme tomfoolery -
Article Photos
Joe Pacheco
Every verse footloose, every fancy free.
Until a world too wise and wide for me
Turned my fool's errand into odyssey
To roam as far as my mind's eye could see
Horizons glowing with discovery.
No fool am I now for poetry,
For mindless myth and made-up history,
The "cruelest month" now kind as kind can be,
And poetry's no longer a fool for me.

Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by Tyrone Slothrop, Feb 17, 2006.
From another link about the same accident.
A dangerous patch of black ice may be to blame for a deadly accident on Dequindre in Madison Heights Friday morning.
Hope it wasn't our guys fault, I'm sure he's having a hard enough time coping with it without the prospect of losing his job on top of it all.
Any Madison Hts drivers out there with more details?
the article says it was the lady's fault. in our hub we have had drivers in accidents that people were killed and they did not get fired as it was not their fault.
At UPS its always your fault...
When your vehicle is moving, they're gonna say it's your fault. About the only way it's not your fault, is when you are parked at the curb eating your lunch; it would also be helpful if you are out of the truck.
"it would also be helpful if you are out of the truck."
It would help even more if you were on vacation that day...
It doesn't matter if our driver was at fault........the company will get their pound of flesh out of him.
Even if it wasn't his fault they'll find something wrong he did like: not using horn, lights, or signals.
Yes, even if it wasn't his fault they will say he wasn't getting the big picture.
No matter what they determine, Ill bet he isnt even thinking about it at the moment. He has that picture engrained in his brain, and he is probably very distraught and the job is the last thing on his mind. If they had the high winds in Detroit area, and I believe they did, like we had here, 50 mph with gusts up to 70, that little car had a big disadvantage on the road that day. I was driving a full size silverado that am and it took both hands to keep it on the highway, and there was no ice. I think they will determine road conditions and high winds were the cause.
Send again
We had a driver a while back that was parked at the curb, out of the car making a delivery, when his car was hit. They charged him with the accident, saying he was not far enough off the road, even though his tires were over the white line on his side.
I used to think the only accident not chargable was if a plane droped out of the sky from directly overhead. But not even sure about that anymore.
We had three tier four accidents last week, and four in 10 days. It would seem that our little center will take center stage in the safety arena over the next few months at least.
Separate names with a comma.

Samuel Adams and Slavery: The Private Man
Though Samuel Adams was cautious about pushing for the abolition of slavery as a politician, as I discussed yesterday, he seems to have been firm in his private behavior. At least, that's how his descendant and biographer William V. Wells described him.
When Samuel remarried, his second wife Elizabeth was given an enslaved woman named Surry. He reportedly insisted that "A slave can not live in my house; if she comes she must be free." It's unclear whether the family formally freed Surry at that time; they were apparently still writing out emancipation papers many years later.
However, Adams's letters showed that he cared about Surry as a member of his household. When he was in Philadelphia in 1775 and worried about his family getting out of British-occupied Boston, he remembered her in his letters to his wife:
- 17 June: "I wish to hear that my Son and honest Surry were releasd from their Confinement in that Town."
- 28 June: "Let me know where good old Surry is."
- 30 July: "Tell Job and Surry that I do not forget them."

Do you love the look and calming feeling you get from candles? Have you ever wanted to make your own little candles? Well now you can. To learn more, read on...
Steps Edit
- Cut candle wick so it is an inch or two longer than the can. Tie it securely to the middle of a pencil, and put to the side.
- Heat wax (either colored or plain, you can get it at most craft stores) over a stove until liquid, but do not boil or heat it too hot! Turn off stove.
- Put the pencil over the can, so that the tip of the pencil is on one side, and the eraser at the other, perfectly balanced, with the candle wick dangling into the middle of the empty cardboard can with a metal base.
- Carefully pour the wax into the can until it reaches desired height (Do not pour so the wax is equal with the top of the can. The wick should still be in the can, so that it is buried in the wax.
- Set aside in a place it wont be disturbed to dry.
- Once it dries, cut the wick off of the pencil. There should still be wick protruding from the top of the candle.
- Peel the cardboard from the can away from the candle. You may or may not leave the metal base; that is your decision.
- Find a clear area and try lighting the candle. If the wick is too long, it could start a fire. If too short, the candle would burn. Have it just right, and exercise caution. Keep a bucket of water nearby incase a step was skipped or misdone.
- When you are done test-lighting your candle, decorate it. Paint the outside with wet, colored wax. You can paint it with stripes, your name, sketches... Whatever you like.
Warnings Edit
- Make sure you use a candle wick! Any other object (such as string) will burn too quickly, and may start a fire.
- If you misdo any of the above steps in the slightest way, it may start a fire. Always have a fire extinguisher nearby on your first lighting of your new candle, just in case.
- Never throw water on hot burning wax. The wax will react like burning oil/grease and erupt into a deadly fireball.
Things You'll Need Edit
- Colored Wax
- Candle Wick
- Pencil
- An Empty Cardboard Can With A Metal Base
- Fire extinguisher (optional)
- Match or Lighter

My 28 Day Natural Fertility Programme is the most accurate natural fertility programme on the market as it combines 4 unique factors to predict your fertile window. You will learn how to use the best and most powerful natural fertility techniques in order to increase your chances of conception.
My 28 Day natural Fertility Programme is suitable for all couples trying to conceive.
– Couples starting out
My Programme can be used as a pre-conception aid in order to evaluate sperm quality and empower the female partner with an increased understanding of her menstrual cycle. When you are actively trying to conceive the chance of pregnancy is then much higher since you have out ruled any issues with sperm quality and you have the knowledge to accurately identify the woman's 'fertile window'.
– Couples with unexplained infertility
For couples that have been trying to conceive for months or even years, my Programme will increase your chances of success. Firstly because you can determine if there is currently a problem with sperm quality. Even if you had a normal semen analysis in the past sperm quality can fluctuate depending on diet and lifestyle factors. My Programme will also show you how to accurately determine the womans 'fertile window' and when ovulation occurs. Due to the increased accuracy of my Programme it is also possible to identify previously undiagnosed problems with your menstrual cycle.
– Women with irregular cycles
Perhaps you have used Ovulation sticks in the past and the results have not been clear? My Programme uses 4 different factors to pinpoint ovulation thus making it the most accurate kit on the market.
– Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is one of the most common causes of infertility in women. Cycles may be unpredictable, absent or longer than normal. As long as you have a cycle my Programme can increase your chances of conception. Women with PCOS may not ovulate during every cycle. My Programme uses 4 different clues to identify ovulation so by using this Programme you can be confident of achieving a pregnancy in the months when you do ovulate. If you do not ovulate then you will know that pregnancy is not possible and therefore avoid the disappointment of a negative pregnancy test that month. Women taking medication for PCOS can also use the Programme to accurately chart their cycles. The charts can be reviewed by your fertility specialist to help in the management of your condition.
Yes, my Programme works regardless of female age. By using 4 independent clues to pinpoint ovulation my Programme will accurately predict your 'fertile window'. Female fertility declines with age so if your results show that you are not ovulating then you can seek help from a fertility specialist sooner rather than later, thereby maximising your chances of conception.
Misconceptions and the lack of support in relation to basic reproductive facts are genuine obstacles in terms of accessing information on fertility services in Ireland. There are numerous reasons why a couple may not conceive quickly, but one simple factor that is easily corrected is ensuring that intercourse occurs during the fertile window around ovulation. Studies have shown that women who understand their menstrual cycle have a significantly higher chance of conception as they have the ability to focus conception attempts to the correct time in the cycle.
In today's busy world we all get caught up in schedules, timelines and structured lifestyles and we assume that when we decide to have a baby our body will abide by our schedule and give us that positive pregnancy test exactly when we want it. In reality, achieving that positive test can take some time.
Statistics show that of every 100 couples trying to conceive, 85% will achieve a positive result in the first 12 months and 95% will achieve a pregnancy within 2 years of trying.
A common misconception is that fertility issues are always female-related. In fact 40% of fertility issues can be attributed to male factors. Combined factors (both male and female) contribute to 20% of infertility cases. It is important for both males and females to critically examine their own diet and lifestyle to see if there are some simple changes that can be made to boost their overall health.
The 28 Day Natural Fertility Programme will Increase your Chances of Natural Conception
The 28 Day Natural Fertility Programme is a revolutionary new state-of-the art programme which combines the technology of home fertility testing kits with the support and backup of a fertility expert. It is the most extensive and accurate home fertility programme on the market as it analyses both male and female fertility levels.
With my help you will learn to precisely and accurately determine your 'fertile window' using Basal Body Temperature, Cervical Mucus Monitoring and Ovulation Predictor Kits.
The 28 Day Natural Fertility Programme is designed for couples who wish to increase their chances of becoming pregnant naturally.
When you order the 28 Day Natural Fertility Programme you will receive a complete Home Fertility Testing kit by post. The kit is delivered in plain white, discrete packaging with no branding.

Just because you write with the Albert Einstein pen from Mont Blanc doesn't mean you'll revolutionize the way the world thinks about science. However, if Mont Blanc has done its job, you will feel distinguished and scholarly writing with the pen.
Mont Blanc has produced items in the past as tributes to some of the biggest names in modern history including Mozart, Pablo Picasso, Princess Grace of Monaco, Queen Elizabeth I and Mahatma Gandhi. They continue this tradition with the Albert Einstein pen, which there are only 3,000 of. Why 3,000? This number actually represents one hundredth the value of the speed of light (299,792.458 km/s).
To further make this pen a tribute to the great scientist, Mont Blanc engraved the famous E=MC2 on the pen along with other formulas he created.

Spiders are found across the world and have adapted to almost every habitat. Many spiders like moist, damp areas such as basements and crawl spaces, but others prefer dry, warm areas such as air vents and upper corners of rooms. While some species are herbivores, most are predatory. Most spiders detect prey through vibrations, although some are active hunters with sharp vision. They liquidize their food with enzymes and do not have true "jaws". A minority of species form communities. These societies range from toleration to cooperative hunting and sharing of food.
Spiders will typically only bite humans in self-defense and their venom usually has no more effect than a mosquito bite or bee sting. Some of the more dangerous spiders, such as the black widow or recluse spiders, are quite shy and will only bite when threatened. In any case, it is important to have a professional handle any removal of spiders.

Breaking the Ice
Book Description
For Matt Wasko, February in Wisconsin is the best time of the year, and ice fishing on Lake Winnebago is his idea of heaven. With shanty villages cropping up, barbeques on the ice, monster sturgeon to spear, and plenty of booze to keep everybody warm, things couldn't be better—until a surprise storm hits and an uninvited guest shows up at his frozen doorstep.
Matt's not happy to see John Lutz, a coworker who cracks lame gay jokes at Matt's expense. But John's flimsy new ice shelter got blown across the lake, and it wouldn't be right to leave even a jerk outside to freeze. Would it?
In the close quarters of Matt's fabulous ice shanty, between stripping off wet clothes, misadventures with bait, and a fighting trophy-sized walleye, the two men discover creative ways to keep the cold at bay. And when John confesses his long-running attraction, Matt must decide if he can believe in John's change of heart—and crack the ice for a chance at finding love.
States of Love: Stories of romance that span every corner of the United States.

Fond childhood memories
I grew up on a steady diet of great Saturday morning cartoons- G.I Joe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Transformers, Dragonball Z, and of course Thundercats. They were all great fun to watch, they all told awesome stories, and they all were the heady stuff of fantasy that young boys thrive upon.
But there was one cartoon that just blew them all out of the water. Even He-Man. That cartoon was SWAT Kats.
The premise was absurd- two grease monkeys secretly owning and flying their own highly advanced fighter jet and fighting the forces of evil. The animation hasn't aged well relative to modern cartoons. The lines were cheesy and silly.
And yet this remains one of the most badass cartoons EVER made. Not least because the opening theme tracks for both seasons were EPIC. In fact, the opening themes are unquestionably a big part of the reason why I am a metalhead.
There are some pretty cool cover versions of these out as well:
The 90s... man, what a great time to be a kid!

Win $100 If You Fill Out The Best NCAA Tournament Bracket
by Tommy Gimler
The DUD Bracket Challenge is back, baby, and this year, we're going to make you rich, bitch! $100 if you win the damn thing.
It's NCAA Tourney time, and that means this week, most of you will be watching college basketball for the first time this year. It also means it's time for The DUD's 7th Annual Free NCAA March Madness Bracket Challenge. And this year, we're giving away another $100 if your bracket is the top dog.
This sum bitch is so easy that a woman won it five years ago. Here's how to sign up:
1) Pay nothing. It's free. How are you not getting that?
2) Click on the picture of those fucking dorks above or on this link:
3) Click on the blue "Join Pool" box and follow the instructions to complete your entry.
4) Create a bracket name. Be sure to use a real email address that I can contact you at when you win. Is it a ton of fun to name your bracket "Your Mom's Hump Hole Smells Like Jim Nance's Anus?" Of course it is. But if you don't use a real email address when you sign up, then we can't contact you to find out where to send the cash if you win. And unless you win, we won't send anything to your email address, not even nudie pics of Brian Portz's wife.
5) Fill out your bracket sometime before the games start this Thursday. Don't worry about the play-in games, as those teams are all pure dog shit anyway.
6) This year, you can fill out up to ten brackets. Hey, if you don't have a job and need the 100 bucks that bad and actually have the time to fill out ten different brackets, I don't care. I mean, that's what I'm doing.
7) If one of your brackets finishes with the most points, you win $100. Just don't tell your bitch wife because you know she'll take it from you.
That's it! Please send this on to your friends, family, and fuck buddies. If you have any questions, ask somebody else. Good luck…

Graduation Fun Cost Some Diploma and More
Soon the last of the high schools across the United States will hold their commencement exercises. Some schools have large elaborate ceremonies, others are small intimate settings. But one thing's for certain, they all have rules and regulations.
Why are schools wanting to take away from the fun of the moment? These young adults have worked hard for over 13 years to get to this point. Unfortunately there were some school systems and administrators who thought otherwise on some of the "fun" that some students had in mind.
Schools have rules and you're going to follow those rules all the way up until the very last second you are under their control... got it?
Alabama: 17 year old Chelsey Ramer put an eagle feather in her cap's tassel during her May 23rd ceremony to recognize fellow members of the Poarch Creek Band of Indians. Her private school is holding her diploma and transcripts until she pays a $1,000 fine for breaking the graduation dress code. I am sure that someone will pony up the fine to get the school to shut up.
Tennessee: Austin Mendoza, an honors student, was banned from his graduation ceremony after missing the mandatory rehearsal. He couldn't get out of work -- the job that paid for college. What "life lesson" are we sending out here?
Texas: Lauren Green, a straight-A student, was banned from her upcoming ceremony for allegedly drinking at her prom. She says she didn't and filed a lawsuit -- which was dismissed.
Cincinnati: Anthony Cornist was denied his diploma after his family's "excessive cheers" during the ceremony. The principal demanded 20 hours of community service before he would hand over his diploma. Really?
Maine: Justin Denney was sent back to his seat during the ceremony after blowing a kiss to his family while walking across the stage. Hello! It is a celebration!
There are others like a teen was denied diploma for wearing a Bolo tie instead of a regular tie? What if that is all he had? Have we come to far in our political correctness that you have to be screened by a panel of judges prior to receiving your diploma? This is all becoming to crazy.
What are your thoughts? Should graduation ceremonies be as reverent as a church service or should they be a fun time to let kids blow off steam? Take our poll and weigh in.

Mom - Movie Review
Movie: Mom
'MOM' movie hit the screens in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil on July 7th. Let's find to know whether it's worth watching or can be given a miss…
What's the Story?
Devika Sabharwal (Sridevi) is a biology teacher in the same college where her daughter (Sajal Ali as Arya) studies. Being a stepmother, Devika is constantly rejected by Arya, much to the mom's agony. Her husband Anand (Adnan Siddiqui) is her strength.
Once this conflict in the family is introduced, the film presents a gory situation. The young Arya gets inhumanely raped by a group of lechers, one of them is her classmate.
If Devika is traumatized by her step-daughter's state, tending to her carefully in the hospital, the culprits escape the long arm of the law.
This is when Devika grows spine and decides to go after Arya's savage rapists, one at a time. In this secret mission, she takes the assistance of Daya Shankar Kapoor (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), a licensed detective who goes to any extent to help the mom, a representative of the divine as he sees her! The only obstacle here is a sincere cop named Matthew Francis (Akshay Khanna).
What Works!
Debutante director Ravi Udyawar is not equipped with a terrific thriller. But he has got strong characterizations, especially of Sridevi and Nawazuddin, to show.
The way Sridevi feels pained by Arya's attitude towards her, the way she cares for her teenage daughter unconditionally, the way she cries helplessly when Arya is raped, are narrated well. When Arya is snatched by a rapist, she is not in the vehicle the next second. She resists and puts up a losing fight till she falls unconscious. All through, you can't help but feel shocked.
It's elements like these which separate a routine revenge story from a nuanced revenge drama.
The scenes involving Sridevi and the funny yet sharp detective stand out. The humour is mild and oddball. The art gallery scene has both comedy and serious talk (Sridevi's view that Mahabharatham was the originator of revenge). Had the film had a couple of more scenes like these, it would have been less boring.
AR Rahman's musical score evokes a range of emotions. If the sound of RR is adroit, one feels his songs are going far away from the grasp of the mass audience. Anay Goswami's cinematography is the 'mom' of many camera works!
What Doesn't Work!
One big underwhelming factor of 'MOM' is its predictability. The story is a cross between Raveen Tandon's 'Maatr' and the Telugu movie 'Sarpayagam'. The culprits are killed without mercy, using clever tricks, it smells of Vikram's 'I'.
Till the climax, Akshay Khanna's character (he is seen as a cop) creates no much interest. It seems he is there to make the climax more thrilling, without whom it would have been a simple battle.
The way writers Ravi, Girish Kohli and our own Kona Venkat have written the film is good, but execution is what seems to suffer it. How come a school teacher grows the spine to commit chilling murders without even showing her vulnerability while doing all of this? Of course, she tries to fall back on her hubby's support when Akshay Khanna warns her, but is that enough?
Performance Score
It's Sridevi's movie largely, with Nawazuddin offering excellent support. The legendary actress has not lost the power of showing agony and joy, fear and cunning through her eyes. The best choice to play the titular role.
The detective is unsophisticated and a family man. That makes his character very relatable and Nawazuddin just excels in the role.
Akshay is routine, while Adnan is OK. Sajal shows attitude in the right way. Abhimanyu Singh of 'Gabbar Singh' is the most vital of the villains. He passes muster.
Final Verdict
Pluses: Good performances, strong emotional appeal, and deft music and cinematography.
Minuses: Formulaic story, slow pace.

You decided you're having a party. You have the guest list prepared. You have a good idea of the menu. You even have a good idea of who you're going to invite. Now for the important stuff. The party supplies.
Now, don't pretend you have no idea of what party supplies are. These are accessories like streamers, popper and those funny costumes that everyone thinks are great to put on a lively atmosphere. Some great accessories can really add a touch of fun to any party, even a dinner party if it isn't too formal. Even if the party isn't fancy dress, the host dressing up in a costume for part of the evening can make for a real talking point.
The party supplies you will need can be balloons, decorations, food and many other things. You will have to buy many different items for the party you're planning. Finding wholesale party supplies can also be helpful and can save you money. A theme party can also be great fun such as a pirate party, or an outdoor garden party.
And as for streamers, it doesn't have to be a Christmas or New Year party to get them out. A wild throwing about of some paper toward the end of the evening is always worth it. Same with the poppers. Make the night go with a bang.
And don't forget the more mundane stuff, like coasters, or napkins. A good supply of coasters can protect the varnish on that new coffee table. And napkins are essential to help clear up the mess, which is almost inevitable.
Talking of drinks, there's one thing which is almost as inevitable as a spilled drink, and that's to not have enough glasses, or not have enough of a glass. The solution is simple. Rent some glasses for the party. Some suppliers or bars will deliver and pick up later. This is one less headache to think about.
Using the right party supplies is very important for any party you have. A well-organized party with interesting and exciting party supplies will be remembered long after the occasion. Whether it's graduation party, birthday party or a relaxing outdoor summer party remember that the right party supplies and decorations really can make the difference.
So, whatever you do, don't forget the party supplies, and don't forget to have fun.

Service with a grin
The other thing that Hurd has experience with is buying up a services behemoth — remember the $13.9bn HP paid for EDS? — and slashing costs and getting rid of people to the point where you can hear the gnashing of teeth and weeping.
If Oracle wants to be truly complete, then it needs to add the fourth leg to its chair: it has a database and middleware leg, it has systems (meaning servers, storage, operating systems, file systems, virtualization, and management tools), it has application software (with different suites with broad integration and precise features for specific industries, and now it needs to be a services player, too.
So everyone looking at the possibilities of a Hurd mentality at Oracle is trying to think of what services company Oracle might buy. Services is a people-intensive business, as IBM's payroll shows, and it is hard (but not impossible) to turn a profit here — hard at least compared to the relatively easy money that Oracle is used to getting from its database, middleware, and application-software businesses. And as Oracle has said repeatedly since acquiring Sun, it believes it can extract $2bn in operating profit from Sun by focusing on what the company does in hardware and systems software, and only doing what is necessary (in terms of research and development) to speed up application performance.
If Oracle wanted to snap up a quick, easy, and cheap services business, there's always Unisys — although Oracle had better act fast, with Unisys righting itself these days. With EDS gone to HP and Perot Systems eaten by Dell, that leaves Accenture as a services candidate for Oracle. But not really, since Accenture has 177,000 employees and a very high market cap of $27.2bn against $23.2bn in revenues. That's way too rich for Oracle's blood, and Ellison would have to cash out all his Oracle stock to even match that number.
Among other candidates, Cognizant Technology Solutions, the IT services arm spun out of Dun & Bradstreet that has a market cap of $18.8bn as we go to press, seems a bit pricey for Oracle to acquire. It has 88,700 employees, which means plenty of
heads to roll costs to cut, but with only $3.3bn in sales and $535m in net income for 2009, Cognizant is too expensive to buy and cannot yield to the Hurd execution axe to create profits while also boosting revenues hugely, as EDS did for HP during the economic downturn. CapGemini, which is eating other services companies left and right these days, is also a possibility. A lot depends on how much Hurd and Ellison like French food, wine, and hospitality.
Computer Sciences Corp, with 95,000 employees and a market cap of only $6.6bn, looks like a perfect target and one rich in government work — particularly when you realize that it took in $16.1bn in its fiscal 2010 ended in April, but managed only $834m in net income. Ding ding ding — we have a winner!
Hurd is probably sharpening up that axe right now and will be ready to wield it as soon as lawyers finish fighting over whether or not he can take the co-president job at Oracle. ®

I attended two very special events this weekend. First
event, the Annual Girl Talk, God Talk TEA PARTY, at the Methodist Church, here in Durand, IL.
event, the Annual Girl Talk, God Talk TEA PARTY, at the Methodist Church, here in Durand, IL.
It was so much fun.
Of course I dressed up in a
tea party ensemble
I throw together complete with
vintage hat, vintage sweater, vintage gloves,
with vintage necklace I restrung with the same beads I added buttons, and a tea pot charm.
About 100 ladies gathered, 10 women at each table, each table has 1 hostess, the hostess brings in their own tea ware and decorate their tables in a unique style.
This year, like last, the tables were done up in style. Our hostess decorated with blues and aqua's, and sea shells with coral. She gave each guest at her table this beautiful picture holder or recipe card holder made with coral and added chocolates.
The TEA PARTY begins, of course with a prayer, and right away the finger sandwiches are past around each table. Some of the ladies bring in their husbands who volunteer to serve the ladies tea and to keep the sandwich trays full. They served Raspberry black tea, and Peach black tea, both excellent blends.
The finger sandwiches were puff pastry's with tuna, egg salad on white, ham spread on wheat, cucumber with cream cheese, pinwheels with ham, and veggie pizza. There was a cheese and cracker plate. Also on the table were nuts and homemade candies.
I know..... a lot, I was pretty full just from the sandwiches. Then they bring out the trays of sweeties and cookies, so many different kinds. Very nice selection. With treats abound and the tea still flowing, an hour into it, they have a guest speaker come out with a presentation, this year the subject was "TEA'S" the beginning, to now with TEA PARTY EDICATE from the beginning, to now. The info was detailed and interesting; at the end of her speech, she pulled out a tea party book from 1905 that had games people would play back in the Victorian days when garden tea parties were very, very fashionable.
We played 3 of the games, they were fun, each table competed against the others, our table did not win any of the games, but we had a ball.
After that... the party broke up.
Me and (my girls) that's My Mother, and My Aunt Junie (with my My Sister meeting us there with her granddaughter),
head north to my youngest granddaughter
head north to my youngest granddaughter
Eden's 2nd birthday party.
We ate first, needless to say, Me, Mother and Aunt Junie, were not very hungry, actually all three of us wanted coffee.
Eden is 2 so of course, she had no interest in opening her gifts, though she got plenty.
After that
more sweets,
they had the birthday cake and gluten free brownies.
Happy Birthday, Princess Eden.
Cheers to a sweet day!

"I didn't like the idea of finding a kid on the street and asking his parents, "Would you let him make a movie with me?" For this first feature film of mine about children, I wanted the children to be willing—both the children and their parents. So I used the ad to get them to come to a studio near the Champs-Elysées, where I was doing 16-mm. screen tests every Thursday. I saw a number of boys, one of whom was Jean-Pierre Léaud. He was more interesting than all the rest, more intense, more frantic even. He really, really wanted the part, and I think that touched me. I could feel during the shoot that the story improved, that the film became better than the screenplay, thanks to him."
François Truffaut's Last Interview
by Bert Cardullo
François Truffaut and Jean-Pierre Léaud on the set of Les Quatre Cents Coups (1959)
Seeking a young actor to play the autobiographical hero in The 400 Blows – François Truffaut first feature after three short films – Truffaut placed an ad in the newspaper France-Soir. Of the nearly 400 boys who answered, it was 14-year-old Jean-Pierre Léaud who stood out. Son of a screenwriter and an actress, Léaud was also a troubled youth whose school career was shaping up as disastrously as Truffaut's had. In fact, one of the reasons Truffaut chose Jean-Pierre Léaud for the role of Antoine is his evocation of longing and nervousness. Truffaut notes that in casting Antoine He was looking for a "moral resemblance to the child I thought I had been".

Science & Technology
Dr. Craig Lang Booth (1944- )
Dr. Craig Lang Booth is the son of Fred and Marie Lang Booth and a fifth generation resident of St. George. As a youth, he shined shoes and passed papers to many of his future patients. Craig is a graduate of Dixie High, Dixie Junior College, the University of Utah, and the University of Utah Medical School. After a two-year residency at UCLA-Harbor General Hospital, he returned to St. George where he served the community as a general practitioner, delivering over 2,500 babies and 200 gall bladders and affectionately earning him the nickname "Doc Booth." He later became the first medical director of Dixie Regional Medical Center and president of the medical staff.Craig served as president of the Utah Medical Association and the Great Basin Physician Corporation, and in 1994 was named Utah Doctor of the Year. He served on the Dixie Regional Medical Center's governing board for 20 years and the Intermountain Healthcare board for three years. Craig was a founding member of The Village Bank, the St. George Exchange Club, the Virgin River Land Preservation Association, and the local United Way. He also found time to serve on the St. George Water and Power Board and the Spirit of Dixie Committee. For 18 years he taught physiology—or rather the "facts of life"—to nearly 1,300 students at his beloved Dixie College. Craig served a two-year mission in the North Central States for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and his wife, Maureen, later served as president of the Arizona Phoenix Mission from 2002-05. For more than 40 years "Doc Booth" has practiced medicine in Washington County and currently works in Acute Rehab and the Wound Clinic at Dixie Regional Medical Center. He was awarded the first "Giant of the Medical Center" by the hospital. He loves his work and most of his patients, and plans to die in the halls of the hospital. Craig holds a private pilots license, has hiked "The Subway" in Zion National Park more than 120 times, and inadvertently forced the park service to install a lottery system to control the crowds. He is married to the former Maureen Haslam. They have five children (all graduates of Dixie College) and 14 grandchildren.

High Concept: What the Hell Does That Mean?
You're trying to come up with an idea that will sell. You want to write a story that people want to read/see. You want to give the public what they want. So you ask your agent or producers what they're looking for and you keep hearing the same thing: "We want High Concept. Give us a High Concept story." What the hell is High Concept?
The truth is, everyone has their own idea of what high concept means and no one can easily articulate it. It's not something that can be explained in one sentence. Often times you'll hear someone say that high concept is a story that can be summed up in one sentence. Well… that's called a logline and EVERY movie or television show should be able to be summed up in one sentence. Some will tell you that high concept is a mash up of two contrasting ideas, often times relating to past hit films, a.k.a. Home Alone meets Boogie Nights. (Sounds like a remake of Risky Business). Some will even tell you that it's something original. Steve Kaire of The Writer's Store claims to define high concept in five requirements. Jeff Lyons says he can sum it up in seven. The truth is, everyone has their own idea of what makes a story high concept, but it almost always deals with all of these, some other ideas, and/or some combination.
If a producer or an agent tells you they're looking for a high concept idea, they usually want something that is original, with a twist, that combines two apposing ideas, is relatable to a mass, clique audience, and can be summed up in three sentences or less. Something original? But there are no original ideas left, you say. Everything has already been written. All we can do expound upon or rehash old story ideas. What I mean by something original is to give an old story a new twist. An easy way to give an old story a new twist is to ask yourself, "what if?" What if the Tooth Fairy were actually a muscle bound man in a tutu? What if a man with a DIY Home Improvement show really had no DIY skills at all? The idea is to take an old idea and flip it on its head.
Where can you get ideas for high concept stories? Check news websites. Take two news stories that aren't related (remember opposing ideas) and combine them. Here's a couple from CNN: Seven-Year-Old Survives Plane Crash & Tomb of Unknown Queen Discovered in Egypt. Here's and idea another Egyptian tomb raiding curse movie. but this one has a twist (I want idea credit if you decide to write this one). TV Tropes gives a comprehensive list of high concept ideas categorized by medium. This can help give you some ideas as well. If someone in particular is asking you for a high concept story, ask them to clarify just to be sure you get it right. Happy writing!

Hi there Folks, Gus Givens here bringing you news on a scientific breakthrough in the Expanse!
Those boffins over at GalFed Science Station 1 have managed to figure out how to advance Human Settlements in the Expanse to Level Six. Up till now a lock had been in place stopping captains from attempting this due to technical issues that in previous testing went drastically wrong.
But today heralds the start of a new period in Expanse inter race diplomatic relations, as the lock is removed for Expanse Settlements to level to Six. There are even rumors that the scientific research crew are already working in tandem with the Coalition science committee to release level 7 to the expanse at the same time as they do normal human non expanse settlements. Exciting times for sure!
For now captains with level five Settlements should check their research screens for the exact details required to level to six. Meet those requirements then form an orderly queue outside Ellie Durrants office over on San Ferran in Descarte. She will issue the level six licnese and also has this morning taken delivery of a large collection of new Level Six Expanse buildings.
More from us here at the ISN News Desk later

Title: About Us Date: 2010-01-01
We are a bunch of Physics Graduate students at Cornell. Our interests vary. Our aim is to share a bit of the fun of physics with the world.
A note on the name: The virtuosi was the original name for the members of the original Royal Society, they were a bunch of interested individuals who would meet twice monthly in London to discuss the topics of interest in the budding field of science. The Royal Society would go on to become the premier scientific institution in the coming years, but they had rather humble beginnings, one of their early meetings being dedicated to testing whether unicorn horn powder could deter spiders.
A note on the masthead: "Giving some account of the undertakings, studies, and labors of the ingenious in many considerable parts of the Cornell physics department." is a ripoff of the masthead for the original Royal Society publication Philosophical Transactions, whose masthead read: "Giving some account of the undertakings, studies, and labors of the ingenious in many considerable parts of the world." Seen below:
It is in this spirit that we aim to share some physics. Some of it silly, some of it serious, but all of it interesting.

Bug Id
Date of Workaround Release
Date of Resolved Release
Security vulnerabilities in the Sun Ray Device Manager daemon (utdevmgrd(1M)):
1. Impact
Security vulnerabilities in the Sun Ray Device Manager daemon (utdevmgrd(1M)) may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to create or delete arbitrary directories on the server, or cause the Device Manager daemon to crash resulting in an interruption of peripheral device service to Sun Ray users.
Sun acknowledges with thanks, Danny Quist and Anthony Clark at Los Alamos National Labs for bringing these issues to our attention.
2. Contributing Factors
These issues can occur in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
x86 Platform
Note 1: Sun Ray Server Software 4.0 is not affected by these issues.
Note 2: Sun Ray Server Software 2.0 and 3.0 are not supported on Solaris 10.
Note 3: Sun Ray Server Software 3.0 is not supported on the Solaris x86 platform. (3.1 only)
Note 4: Sun Ray Server Software 3.1 is not supported on Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 on the x86 platform. (Solaris 10 only)
To determine the version of the Sun Ray Server Software on a Solaris system, the following command can be run:
# /usr/bin/pkgparam VERSION SUNWuto 3.1_32,REV=2005.08.24.08.55
To determine the version of Sun Ray Server Software on a Linux system, the following command can be run:
# /bin/rpm -q SUNWuto3. Symptoms
If the Sun Ray server has been affected by the directory-related vulnerabilities, directories may be found at unexpected locations in the filesystem, or directories may be discovered to be missing from the filesystem.
If the Sun Ray server has been affected by the crash vulnerability, the "utdevmgrd" process will terminate and will produce a core file in "/var/opt/SUNWut/log" or in the location determined by coreadm(1M).4. Workaround
To work around these issues, the Sun Ray Device Manager daemon may be made non-executable and existing instances of the daemon may be stopped.
To apply this workaround, execute the following commands:
# /bin/chmod ogw-x /opt/SUNWut/lib/utdevmgrd
Note: Applying the above workaround will result in the disabling of application access to smartcards, access to USB peripherals, and access to serial devices. Mouse, keyboard and audio access will be unaffected.
To undo the workaround, execute the following commands:
# /bin/chmod ogw+x /opt/SUNWut/lib/utdevmgrd
Executing "utrestart" will interrupt Sun Ray sessions running on this server, but the sessions will continue and may be resumed after the restart has completed.5. Resolution
These issues are addressed in the following releases:
SPARC Platform
x86 Platform
Linux Platform

Please join the School in congratulating Professor Jeremy Wilson who has been recognised with an award in the Queen's Birthday Honours List.
Jeremy has been named as an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the General Division for distinguished service to medicine as a pancreatologist, to medical administration and clinical governance, to education as an academic, researcher and mentor, and to professional associations.
Jeremy is recognised nationally and internationally for his pioneering work in the areas of pancreatitis, pancreatic fibrogenesis and pancreatic cancer. In a research career spanning more than 35 years, he has been responsible for a number of key scientific discoveries. After completing his MD by research under the supervision of his long time mentor Professor Ron Pirola, he continued his work at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York under the tutelage of Professor Charles Lieber. After three years, he returned to Australia and, in 1987, founded the Pancreatic Research Group in collaboration Professor Pirola OAM. In 1987, (now Professor) Minoti Apte OAM joined the Group. From the early 1990s until the present, the Group has been led by the "triumvirate" of Apte, Pirola and Wilson, with Minoti being "prima inter pares" (Jeremy's term).
The Group became the first in the world to successfully isolate and culture pancreatic stellate cells which opened a new field in pancreatology. The Group was the first to establish a key role for pancreatic stellate cells in the fibrosis of chronic pancreatitis and in the desmoplasia of pancreatic cancer. The Group also established that pancreatic stellate cells promote the local growth of pancreatic cancer and also migrate with cancer cells to distant metastatic sites.
Jeremy's research is held in very high regard with more than 5880 citations of his 154 publications. He has an h-Index of 41. He was awarded Fellowship of the American Gastroenterological Association and of the Royal College of Physicians London on the basis of his research. His lifetime commitment to pancreatology has been recognised by an inaugural award from the Australasian Pancreatic Club in which he served as an early President. He was awarded the Ingham Institute Lady Mary Fairfax Distinguished Researcher Award in 2016.
As a measure of his international esteem, Professor Wilson has recently completed two terms as the Secretary General of the International Association of Pancreatology (IAP). Under his leadership, the IAP has seen a ten-fold plus growth in membership; has opened up membership in China, South Korea, India and Latin America and has seen a significant increase in the growth of the IAP Journal, Pancreatology.
Jeremy has made a very significant contribution to south western Sydney including leadership of The Way Forward plan for healthcare reform in this area, as Chair of the former SSWAHS Area Health Advisory Council (AHAC), and as Chair of the oversight committee for the redevelopment of Liverpool Hospital. He is the current Chair of the SWSLHD Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and the Ingham Institute Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre Governance, Management and Planning Committee. He played a major role in attracting funds to construct the $10m Ingham Institute Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre and the establishment of the $4m conferencing network for students in south western Sydney. In his role as Clinical Associate Dean, he is responsible for the UNSW undergraduate and postgraduate programs in south western Sydney. He is the Regional Examiner for the Royal Australasian College of Physicians and is responsible for the Basic Physician Training Program at Liverpool Hospital.
Jeremy is also the Co-Chair of the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation Acute Care Taskforce which over the last 12 years has been responsible for the development of new models of care for medical patients in acute facilities across NSW, including Medical Assessment Units, Avoidable Admissions, Clinical Handover and Criteria-led Discharge. He has been a member of the Clinical Council of the Clinical Excellence Commission (CEC) and is a member of the Leadership Forum of the CEC.

Quantify, mitigate and actively manage Cyber & Information Risk.
Cyber & Information Risk (CIR) is a persistent business threat that needs to be quantified, mitigated and actively managed as part of strategic and operational practices. The days of CIR being an IT issue are well behind us. CIR is also not a roadblock to innovation and change; it is a necessary partner.
We work closely with our clients to help develop strategies and design frameworks to identify and manage risks with the aim of long-term resilience. Resilience is an organisation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from CIR incidents. Resilience is more than just preventing or responding to an incident – it takes into account the ability to operate, and to effectively incorporate the valuable lessons we learn, in a time of crisis.
Our holistic approach is information driven, risk based and deeply technical when required. We work with our clients to invest time in their people and make them a part of the solution, helping ensure a sustainable result. We help write and review strategies and frameworks that provide the foundation from which leaders and employees can make well-informed decisions. We also take a hands-on approach with our clients, helping respond to cyber incidents when the pressure is on and the stakes are high.

<cyborgshadow> Hi people people. :) In regards to the recent message about vacation in December, I was already planning on taking a good chunk of vacation in early december. Effectively, with the new addition, I'd be taking almost the entire month off (which I don't want to do), could I swap some of those days?
<SylvieB> cyborgshadow (sounds a little bit scary actually !), I would recommend that you talk to your manager and your HRBP about the options...
<cyborgshadow> SylvieB: precisely my thoughts. :) Thanks.
<SylvieB> cybergshadow, the 'scary IRC handle" part or the "ask your manager " part ? :)

File this under 'no shit Sherlock' but a ReadWriteWeb has a story about a study into what makes people comment on the internet. Apparently…
people who comment online are often motivated by emotions, and negative emotions at that. Furthermore, the longer online discussions last, the more likely they are to turn increasingly negative, and in doing so, these negative discussion dissolve into a back-and-forth sustained by fewer and fewer commenters.
I think this is about as surprising as some of the Wikileaks 'revelations' but it is interesting to see that a formal academic study supports what we all experience although it stops short of actually stating Godwin's Law. Mind you, Polish academics are probably less flippant about NAzis that we are.
The scary thing is that the study was based on data from BBC message boards which, while not famous for being a nutter-free zone, are not the worst places on the web by a long way. Imagine if they had included, say, the Daily Mail online comments as well.
Next time you are using a forum or message board bear in mind these comments from the researchers…
The active users are those characterized with negative emotions and they seem to be the key agents that sustain discussion in the thread. Finally, we have shown that negative emotions accelerate user's local activity in the thread
…and wonder whether having a high post count against a user is really something the more active members should be boasting about.
