William Bell: What I'm starting to think is that when my mind entered hers, her ego became confused, her sense of self.

CD Reviews
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Before his untimely death, Wynton Kelly was one of the jazz world's great pianists---tasteful, swinging, bluesy, a little block chording, a little modal. Best known for his accompaniment in groups led by the likes of Miles Davis, Kelly was outstanding in his own right. This session, his first as a leader, was recorded before he joined Davis. He is joined by two soon-to-be mainstays in the Davis group (Paul Chambers, Philly Joe Jones) and Kenny Burrell on guitar. Classic performances on '50s favorites such as "Ill Wind", the minor "Whisper Not" and "Don't Explain"."
The real Machine Gun Kelly gang

(5 out of 5 stars)
"I first heard Kelly's unique style on 'Freddy Freeloader' on Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue' classic. Here he teams with 'Blue' alum Paul Chambers on bass,Davis regular Philly Joe Jones on drums-and the great Kenny Burrell on guitar.Regardless of tempo,this is flawless-and well worth the price for its two takes of 'Dark Eyes',alone."
This is one awesome CD
Brian Schiff | 11/21/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I am an audiophile. This XRCD2 recording is simply awesome. The music is outstanding, excellent, classic 50's jazz. If you like that era, this recording will take you there. Plus, the recording quality of this CD is magnificent. This is one of my reference CD's for testing equipment and cables. You can't go wrong."

May I encourage you to get your spiritual 'Nuggets' to start your day off right? Pretty amazing that our awesome God would consider feeding even us with His Word! May I encourage you to read the whole devotional, and look for a blessing, friend!………
Today's Bible Reference: James 4:2–3
Today's Bible Text: You want what you don't have, so you scheme and kill to get it. You are jealous of what others have, but you can't get it, so you fight and wage war to take it away from them. Yet you don't have what you want because you don't ask God for it. And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong—you want only what will give you pleasure.
The Bible Translation: New Living Translation (NLT)
My Take Away: I believe that many of us read these verses and sit back in disbelief that folk would actually do this! Whoa, wait a moment…. would we ever think that God had a message through James for everyone else…. but not for us? Something can't be right with that analysis Brother, Sister, friend. So let's look a little closer at this. I believe that fights, arguments and many evils in life can be traced back to times when we have felt that we were not treated fairly, or obtained our desires. In fact, we become downright envious, with a strong sense of covetousness, when we look at what others have, compared to what we have, or can afford, or perhaps that we didn't see as a priority to purchase. Our lacking could also be a scripturally based issue, for perhaps we never saw the need to ask God for it! But what normally happens when these resulting feelings well up inside of us? Friends, this is the root of conflict and strife. In fact, there are feelings that sometimes overtake us and opens the door for Satan to push us into actions that we never thought possible. It might be quarrelling, fighting, or even conspiring to do things out of spite that could lead to crimes we never thought possible. But catch this thought friends, James is suggesting that we don't have because we simply don't ask God for it. Is he kidding? Of course we told God what we had to have? Ooops, did I just say that??? Friends, I believe that God is warning us that instead of looking horizontal at what others have, we need to start looking up – to God, for all that He would bless us with. Remember, we are His child, so He knows exactly what we need, and what we could handle, that won't cause us to lose track of the important things in life. You see, we should never have those things that will distract us and cause us to lose our witness, so can we learn to give Him thanks in ALL things and in all of life's circumstances – please? I believe that most often we tend to try and satisfy our deep, selfish desires when we ask God for things. It might even sound legitimate, such as more time, more money or more energy so that we could do the things we desire to do for God. But what if we asked instead for more desire for what God promises or commands of us? What if we asked for less desire to do those things that are contrary to His will for us? Which of these might bear the motive that best aligns with God's will for us? It may be time for us to 'Have A Little Talk With Jesus' – a sincere and honest talk with Him as we seek His will, without any personal desires getting in the way of that.
Prayer: Dear God, we are so twisted, and distracted by the things of this world, and our selfish desires. Is it any wonder why we often feel so unworthy of being used by You? Lord, You created us to worship You, obey You and example Your ways before a lost and dying world. Please help us to refocus on Your will for us, instead of our selfish desires for things that we think will benefit us. Please help us to make the adjustments necessary to focus more fully and more obediently on You and Your perfect will for us. Please help us to put self aside and allow You to minister in and through us to those who need You as Lord of their life. Please touch the lives of Your children – Your followers – Your servants today, so that we may be usable instruments in Your hands. I ask these things in the matchless name of Jesus, AMEN!

This Week "Ode to Spring" Original 5"x7" Painting here
5"x7" Open Edition print here
ACEO 2.5"x3.5" Limited Edition LE 1st of 25 here
I am listing "Ode to Spring," an original painting of a bunny rabbit surrounded by purple flowers. I love bunnies. Writers are often told to write what they know; as an artist, I often paint what I love. They have the sweetest noses and are such gentle animals. The art has a soft realist impressionist feel...
I also have additional giclee art and ACEO prints here this week from Tuesday to Tuesday with a theme of bunny rabbits.
Most of my art is also available on my website at http://www.lisarusso.com; however, I like to put some art on ebay at a lower promotional start rate for the duration of the auctions... I have been updating and adding payment buttons to my website. I still have more to add, but there is now an excellent selection of art available!
After the auction, "Ode to Spring" will be available on my website here.


text: Original vintage signed pencil sketch of Jacqueline Kennedy on the reverse of an 8.5 x 11 letter he received while in jail, signed in the lower right, "Jack Ruby." The initial letter, undated but circa 1964, was written by prominent lawyer Melvin M. Belli, in part: "I sincerely hope the new year brings you relief. The law in the Apellate Court will give it to you, if only your case could be heard. You know I have a brief on file for you…I have a deep and abiding conviction that if nothing else were filed this brief would reverse your conviction." Intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through the right side of her face), otherwise fine condition. Serving out his sentence in the Dallas County Jail, Jack Ruby's thoughts returned to the nation's widow, an important figure in his mind. Testifying before the Warren Commission in June of 1964, he claimed that on the morning of the 22nd, overcome with emotion and sympathy for the grieving Mrs. Kennedy, he took justice into his own hands and assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald. 'Someone owed it to our beloved President that she shouldn't be expected to come back to face trial of this heinous crime.' Sketched in his jail cell, most likely in the winter of '64-65, based on Belli's correspondence, this drawing offers an interesting glimpse into the mind of a killer, claiming to be motivated by the subject of his drawing.

"Spitzbuebe" are my favorite Swiss Christmas cookies, and here's the recipe
It was while living abroad that I took up baking as a hobby.
Call it an act of desperation, but I was really missing those typical Swiss Christmas cookies. The nostalgic memories of tin cans filled to the brim with homemade Mailänderli, Spitzbuebe, Chräbeli or Zimtsternen were enough for me to put on an apron and hit the kitchen. The only problem? Baking recipes for some typical Swiss Christmas cookies were hard to come by.
A few years ago, we have published recipes for Swiss cookies that require air time. And due to popular demand, I am bringing you a recipe for yet another favorite: Spitzbuebe cookies.
My recipe for Spitzbuebe cookies:
Ingredients for approximately 50 cookies:
• 250 g (9 ounces) butter
• 1 egg white
• 350 g (12 ounces) flour
• 125 g (4.5 ounces) confectioners sugar
• 2 tea spoons of vanilla sugar
• 1 pinch of salt
• 200 g () jelly, such as apricot, raspberry, bitter orange, etc.
1. Melt the butter until it is soft and add it to a bowl. Next, add the confectioners sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt. Mix everything in a bowl until it is light in color.
2. Add 1 egg white to the bowl and keep mixing.
3. Little by little, stir in 350 g of flour. Work the dough until it gets solid, then cool it for about an hour (i.e. outdoors or in the fridge).
4. About 30 minutes before the cookie cutting session, bring the dough back to the kitchen.
5. Spread some flour on your cookie cutting surface and roll out the dough about 2 mm thick. To prevent the rolling pin from sticking to the dough, place some cellophane on top.
6. Cut round cookies with a diameter of 4 to 5 cm. On exactly half of the cookies bottoms, use a smaller cookie cutter to punch through the center (hearts, moon shapes or stars are classics). Then, cool all the cookies on a baking sheet for 15 minutes.
7. Preheat your oven to 200 °C (390 °F) and bake the cookies for 6 to 8 minutes.
8. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Heat 200 g of jelly in a small pan. Once your cookies are out of the oven, spread the jelly on the round cookie bottoms. Then, just like building a hamburger, cover the jelly section with the top cookie parts. And finally, dust them with confectioners sugar for that perfect homemade look!
Bonus: For some "Spitzbuebe" variety, use heart shaped cookie cutters:

By Andrew Liszewski
Looking for a Blu-ray player to compliment that $3,200 CD player you just picked up? Well this $135,000 model from Goldmund might just fit the bill. Their Eidos Reference Blue player is handmade in Geneva from 66 pounds of brass, aluminum and various electronics, and comes suspended on 4 spring-loaded legs sitting atop its own custom table. In other words, it probably won't be squeezing into your entertainment center. But if for some reason you think this is a real deal, you better act fast and order one now since Goldmund will only be producing 50 units. Which is weird, since you'd think the demand for these players would be through the roof.

Exemptions Built into the FLSA
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a U.S. Federal law enacted in 1938 to prohibit employers from taking advantage of employees.
Pursuant to the FLSA, employees are generally presumed not exempt and thus are entitled to overtime pay; however there are exemptions from this law for executive, administrative, professional, and computer employees. The law requires that employees be paid for overtime hours worked at a rate of 1 ½ times their regular rate of pay (unless the employee is exempt from the provision). Overtime is defined as more than 40 hours worked in a work week. It requires significant record keeping for compliance. Employees may be exempt from this law if they meet 3 tests in regard to:
- Salary Level
- Salary Basis
- Job Duties
The FLSA was updated in 2004.
The information below is designed to assist you in determining whether you, as an employee, are exempt from the FLSA.
Test 1: Salary Level
The employee must be paid at least $455 per week or $910 biweekly or $1971.66 monthly or $23,660 annually. These amounts are actual payments and salary should not be pro-rated for part-time employees.
Test 2: Salary Basis
Employee must receive a predetermined, fixed salary that is not subject to reduction due to variations in quality or quantity of work performed (except for some very narrow specified circumstances).
Test 3: Job Duties
Employee must meet all of the criteria specified in one or more of the following exemptions: Executive Administrative Education Establishments and Administrative Professional – Learned Professional – Artistic Computer-Related
The term "primary duty" is used throughout each of the exemptions. The definition of primary duty is the principal, main, major or most important duty that the employee performs. Determination of an employee's primary duty must be based on the character of the employee's job as a whole. Factors to consider include relative importance of the exempt duties as compared with other types of duties; amount of time spent performing exempt work (not more than 20% of an employee's time may be spent on nonexempt work); employee's relative freedom from direct supervision; and relationship between the employee's salary and wages paid to other employees for the kind of nonexempt work performed by the employee. Employees who spend more than 80% of their time performing exempt work will generally satisfy the primary duty requirement.
In order for an employee to be considered exempt as an executive, all of the following 3 criteria must be met:
- Primary duty: manages enterprise, or customarily recognized (permanent status) department or subdivision. Managing includes activities such as: Interviewing, selecting, training and disciplining employees Setting and adjusting pay and work hours Planning and apportioning work among employees Maintaining production or sales records Appraising employee' productivity and efficiency Handling employee complaints and grievances Determining the techniques to be used; the type of materials, supplies, machinery, equipment or tools to be used; or the merchandise to be bought, stocked and sold Providing for the safety and security of the employees or the property Planning and controlling the budget Monitoring or implementing legal compliance measures
- Customarily and regularly direct the work of at least 2+ full-time employees (FTEs)
- Hires or fires employees, or whose recommendations as to hiring, firing, advancement, promotion or any other change of status of other employees are given particular weight. Generally, an executive's recommendations must pertain to employees whom the executive customarily and regularly directs. It does not include occasional suggestions. An employee's recommendations may still be deemed to have "particular weight" even if a higher level manager's recommendation has more importance and even if the employee does not have authority to make the ultimate decision as to the employee's change in status.
Additional Information
A common question that arises under the executive exemption is how to classify employees who perform both exempt management duties and nonexempt duties. The regulations state that a manager who performs both exempt and nonexempt work at the same time is not automatically disqualified from the executive exemption. Generally, the exempt executives themselves make the decision regarding when to perform nonexempt duties. In contrast, the nonexempt employee generally is directed by a supervisor to perform the exempt work or performs the exempt work for defined time periods. For example, if an assistant manager's primary duty is management, performing work such as serving customers, cooking food, stocking shelves and cleaning the establishment does not preclude the exemption. An assistant manager can supervise employees and serve customers at the same time without losing the exemption. In contrast, a relief supervisor or working supervisor whose primary duty is performing nonexempt work on the production line in a manufacturing plant does not become exempt merely because he occasionally has some responsibility for directing the work of other nonexempt production line employees when, for example, the exempt supervisor is on vacation.
In order for an employee to be considered exempt as an administrative employee, both of the following 2 criteria must be met:
- Primary duty: performs office or non-manual work directly related to management or general business operations (tax, finance, accounting, budgeting, auditing, insurance, quality control, purchasing, procurement, advertising, marketing, public &/or government relations, research, safety & health, human resources, labor relations, computer network, database administration, legal & regulatory compliance, etc. Work must be directly related to assisting with the running or servicing of the business and does not include working on a manufacturing production line or selling a product in a retail or service establishment.) of the employer or the employer's customers.
- Primary duty includes exercise of discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance and implies that the employee has authority to make an independent choice, free from immediate direction or supervision. This involves the comparison and the evaluation of possible courses of conduct, and acting or making a decision after the various possibilities have been considered. Two or 3 of the following must apply to answer "yes" to this criteria: Authority to formulate, affect, interpret, or implement management policies or operating practices Carries out major assignments in conducting the operations of the business Performs work that affects business operations to a substantial degree Authority to commit the employer in matters that have significant financial impact Authority to waive or deviate from established policies and procedures without prior approval, and other factors set forth in the regulation Authority to negotiate and bind the company on significant matters Provides consultation or expert advice to management Involved in planning long- or short-term business objectives Investigates and resolves matters of significance on behalf of management Represents the company in handling complaints, arbitrating disputes or resolving grievances
Additional Information
Discretion and independent judgment does not include: Applying well-established techniques, procedures or specific standards described in manuals or other sources Clerical or secretarial work Recording or tabulating data Performing mechanical, repetitive, recurrent or routine work
Employees are not exempt if they use manuals to apply well-established techniques or procedures within closely prescribed limits.
"Matters of significance" refer to the level of importance or consequence of the work performed. An employee does not exercise discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance merely because the employer will experience financial losses if the employee fails to perform the job properly. Similarly, an employee who operates very expensive equipment does not exercise discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance merely because improper performance of the employee's duties may cause serious financial loss to the employer. The fact that an employee's decisions are revised or reversed after review does not mean that the employee is not exercising discretion and independent judgment. The exercise of discretion and independent judgment must be more than the use of skill in applying well-established techniques, procedures or specific standards described in manuals or other sources.
Typical Administrative Exempt Jobs: An employee who leads a team of other employees assigned to complete major projects Executive assistant or administrative assistant to a business owner or senior executive of a large business who has been delegated authority regarding matters of significance Management consultants who study the operations of a business and propose changes in organization Human resource managers who formulate, interpret or implement employment policies generally meet the administrative duties requirements
Typical Administrative Nonexempt Jobs: Ordinary inspection work involving well-established techniques and procedures Examiners and graders who perform work involving comparison of products with established standards Comparison shoppers who merely report the prices at a competitor's store Public sector inspectors or investigators Personnel clerks who "screen" applicants to obtain data regarding minimum qualifications and fitness for employment generally are not exempt administrative employees
In order for an employee to be considered exempt as an administrative employee within an educational establishment the following criteria must be met:
- Primary duty: performs administrative functions directly related to academic instruction or training in an educational establishment. Academic administrative functions include operations directly in the field of education, and do not include jobs relating to areas outside the educational field.
Additional Information
Employees engaged in academic administrative functions include: Superintendent or other head of an elementary or secondary school system Any assistants responsible for administration of such matters as curriculum, quality and methods of instructing, measuring and testing the learning potential and achievement of students, establishing and maintaining academic and grading standards, and other aspects of the teaching program Principal and any vice-principals responsible for the operation of an elementary or secondary school Department heads in institutions of higher education responsible for the various subject matter departments Academic counselors and other employees with similar responsibilities
Having a primary duty of performing administrative functions directly related to academic instruction or training in an educational establishment includes, by its very nature, exercising discretion and independent judgment with respect to matters of significance.
In order for an employee to be considered exempt as an administrative employee, both of the following criteria must be met:
- If compensated on an hourly basis, at a rate not less than $27.63 an hour
- Employed as a computer systems analyst, computer programmer, software engineer or other similarly skilled worker in the computer field performing the primary duties described below: Application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, including consulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functional specifications Design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing or modification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on and related to user or system design specifications Design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computer programs related to machine operating systems; or Combination of aforementioned duties, performance of which requires the same level of skills
Typical Computer-Related Nonexempt Jobs: The computer employee exemption does not include employees engaged in the manufacture or repair of computer hardware and related equipment. Employees whose work is highly dependent upon, or facilitated by, the use of computers and computer software programs (e.g., engineers, drafters and others skilled in computer-aided design software), but who are not primarily engaged in computer systems analysis and programming or other similarly skilled computer-related occupations identified in the primary duties test described above, are also not exempt under the computer employee exemption.
In order for an employee to be considered exempt as an administrative employee, all of the following 3 criteria must be met:
- Primary duty: performs work requiring advanced knowledge: Predominantly intellectual in character Includes work requiring the consistent exercise of discretion and judgment The advanced knowledge is generally used to analyze, interpret or make deductions from varying facts or circumstances Not work involving routine mental, manual, mechanical, or physical work Cannot be attained at the high school level

Today marks the premiere of Robert Greenwald's documentary Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price, and Wal-Mart is ready with a "war room" led by Robert McAdam, who is, charmingly, the former strategist for the tobacco industry.
Wal-Mart's spin machine is being sorely tested. Just last week, a secret internal memo recommending that the company curb healthcare costs by "dissuad[ing] unhealthy people from coming to work at Wal-Mart" was leaked to the advocacy group Wal-Mart Watch. The memo's suggestions included designing "all jobs to include some physical activity (e.g., all cashiers do some cart-gathering)." This amounts to nothing less than a plan to discriminate against the disabled, sick and elderly. It's contemptible, of course, but it also has serious legal implications; Wal-Mart has been forced to settle lawsuits from disabled workers in the past, and this memo will almost definitely strengthen the case of any who wish to sue the company in the future.
In the memo, whose contents were first revealed in the New York Times, Wal-Mart admits that criticism of its meager, unaffordable healthcare plan is contributing to the decline of Wal-Mart's overall reputation and that "our critics are correct in some of their observations…our coverage is expensive for low-income families, and Wal-Mart has a significant percentage of Associates and their children on public assistance." The memo acknowledges that 46 percent of Wal-Mart workers' children are either on Medicaid or uninsured.
It's very clear that criticism and public pressure are bothering Wal-Mart's leaders. So far, they are mostly investing in spin and devising harebrained–and inhumane–schemes like those outlined in the memo. But the same memo does contain a glimmer of hope that the company could respond to pressure by doing something good–in particular, a suggestion that the company "refram[e] the debate" on healthcare, emphasizing that "this is everybody's problem, not just Wal-Mart's" and "establishing Wal-Mart as a leader on this critical issue." We couldn't agree more. The best way for Wal-Mart to curb its healthcare costs–and improve its image–would be to lobby for single-payer national health insurance; for its activist critics, all this pressure on the company to improve its health benefits should be a means to that end.
As unrealistic as that might sound–after all, Wal-Mart is a right-wing company, whose campaign contributions tend to favor antigovernment Republicans, not European-style social democracy–there is no telling what people might do when under enough political and economic pressure. A recent study commissioned by Wal-Mart showed that from 2 percent to 8 percent of its customers had stopped shopping there because of "negative press." All of this is having some surprising effects, including unpredictable policy recommendations from the company's leadership.
Last week, CEO Lee Scott called for increasing the minimum wage, a suggestion that drew howls of wounded betrayal from the company's usual defenders on the Wall Street Journal editorial page, but which Scott rightly pointed out would help the company's customers, many of whom are low-wage workers. National health insurance would do the same, while allowing the company to save money on benefits–and on spin. Paying former tobacco lobbyists to convince the public that Wal-Mart is a good corporate citizen is going to get expensive.

Darrelle Revis' current contract – signed in 2010 following a well-publicized training-camp holdout – contains language that requires him to attend the Jets' voluntary workouts, according to ESPNNewYork.com. And if Revis doesn't participate in "80 percent" of the workouts, he'll surrender a $1 million roster bonus (which was activated in March, but has not yet been paid out), a $1 million workout bonus, and a $1 million reporting bonus at the start of training camp.
But the All-Pro corner would prefer to remain in Arizona where he currently is rehabbing from knee surgery with the help of a personal trainer, according to the report.
Rumors of a potential trade involving Revis have been swirling since John Idzik's first day as general manager. And neither Idzik nor owner Woody Johnson has tried to temper the speculation. Instead, the Jets – a team that had significant cap constraints at the start of free agency – made it clear they are always willing to listen to trade offers involving any player.
The assumption is Revis will end up in Tampa Bay, most likely with a trade coming the week of the April 25th NFL draft. But in the meantime, Revis is still a Jet – and his team wants him to report to their facility on April 15th.
Revis' renegotiated contract – a four-year, $46-million deal – contains a clause that requires him to attend "all offseason activities – even non-mandatory workouts," according to ESPNNewYork.com.

Well, I had to try it again with an acrylic pour. I am enjoying this process and using small canvas as my substrate. This time I recorded more of the process. However, I think I need to do a more close up video. Anyway, here it is. Stay tuned. I am sure there'll be more to come. I am learning and developing my technique for creating. I have 2 more videos…that I created on the same day and I will be sharing soon.
So much fun and I think it is GORGEOUS!
Tried using Dimethicone (skin safe silicone) to get cells with this one. However, I think I need to add a bit more in the mix. Stay tuned, we'll see what happens when I add a bit more.
Available in my Etsy Shop Here!
Well, what do you think? Should I keep playing? Are you inspired?

These apple and caramel nachos are one of the easiest and most delicious desserts you can make. The special touch comes from the sweet caramel sauce that contrasts perfectly with the sliced green apples. You can even add some chocolate syrup or your favorite sweet sauce.
I also love this dessert because it has pieces of nuts and that makes its presentation even more surprising. What other ingredient would you add?

In order to advance cybersecurity awareness and effectiveness around the globe the FICO® Cyber Risk Score is now available, free of charge, to all organizations. It is designed to provide Chief Risk Officers an independent perspective of data breach risk while utilizing the same machine learning models used by vendor managers and cyber insurance underwriters to quantify 3rd party risk exposure.
This complimentary subscription to the Portrait portal of the FICO® Enterprise Security Suite includes immediate, self-service curation of organizations' Internet-facing assets in order to ensure fair and accurate security ratings as defined by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. These Principles for Fair and Accurate Security Ratings promote accuracy, fairness, utility, and transparency in the provision of cyber risk scores and security ratings.
FICO supports these Principles through its adherence to empirical cyber risk scoring, prudent disclosure of contributing risk factors, sound model governance practices, and the enablement of direct client involvement in the resolution of data and definitional issues. FICO was a key contributor in the establishment of the Principles, and is committed to upholding them.
Understand how third parties may interpret your security posture and know exactly which assets are being used in the assessment.
Ensure fair assessment by curating network assets and removing inaccuracies, in real-time. Take control of your security profile without relying on ineffective dispute processes.
Machine Learning
Employ empirical machine learning models, not subjective ratings, to interpret cyber security behaviors and accurately assess your security risk profile.
The FICO® Cyber Risk Score is an empirical score that relies on a comprehensive and diverse set of cyber security data signals, collected at Internet scale, to determine the risk profile of any organization. These signals reflect key risk indicators including the health and hygiene of IT systems, network infrastructure and software and services. These current and historical data signal behaviors are compared to past behaviors of organizations that have, and have not, suffered a material data breach.
Together, this information is used to train a machine learning model that produces a risk score that forecasts the likelihood of a future breach event.
FICO® Cyber Risk Score utilizes time-series observations associated with the internet-facing assets on your network. These risk indicators are augmented with corporate demographic details and compiled cyber risk information. Rather than simply inventorying temporal vulnerabilities or issues, these indicators are used, in aggregate, to help form an understanding of network hygiene practices, consistency in policy, and the network management track record of
an organization.
Portrait Portal
5X more accurate than competitors published results.
Free access to the security rating used by cyber insurers.
Self-service asset curation improves accuracy.
Ability to monitor your security score improvement over time.

This quantifiable security rating is used to price insurance policies and determine exclusions or riders.
Vendor Risk
Manage and monitor the cybersecurity risk introduced by your vendors. The FICO® Cyber Risk Score presents aggregated data and measurements that capture the cybersecurity risk of your vendors via a diverse set of measurements. Linked tools within the Landscape portal of the FICO® Enterprise Security Suite allows a conversation with your vendors regarding the reported data.
Regulatory Compliance
Monitoring third party risk is more than just a sound business practice. It's also a regulatory requirement for organizations that manage personal data of European Union (EU) citizens. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) reforms require organizations to regularly assess and evaluate the security measures of third parties that process data on their behalf. The FICO Cyber Risk Score provides the empirical results needed to monitor and manage the risk of third party relationships.

It isn't Hollywood. But that's exactly why some prefer the Dallas film market to the better known ones.
"In L.A. and New York they're kind of used to it, it's all hat," said Jason Kabolati, principal partner at Agora Entertainment studio in Irving. "You become a nuisance to them. Whereas in Dallas, you shoot a film and the community sort of stops and tries to help you out."
The Dallas film industry grew over the last 20 years and garnered more and more interest from filmmakers around the country. There are currently a handful of studios in DFW that produce an average of 300 projects a year, from feature films and reality TV shows, to music videos and commercials.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Kabolati said Dallas has offerings that other cities do not.
"You could get a big city out of Dallas, you could get the small town out of Dallas," Kabolati said. "A lot of the community areas are middle of the road so you can get the average family lifestyle, so, it gives you everything. It gives you that chic slick thing and gives you that urban cattle ranch vibe."
Farah White has been acting for 12 years. The Dallas native says it took her years to realize she didn't need L.A. or New York to work in show business.
"I was in Dallas, I was working – working a lot," White said. "Then I moved to Los Angeles because I thought there were bigger commercials and more work so I needed to go there, and, quite frankly, I didn't work there nearly as much."
Actor Samrat Chakrabarti is currently involved in a film with White that's being shot and produced at Agora Entertainment.
"I gotta say, I'm impressed with Dallas," said Chakrabarti. "I really am. The standards are great – the way we're shooting, the space that we're shooting in."
Kabolati said with every film shoot comes work for other area businesses.
"The caterers, music guys, set design – so you're dealing in construction," he said. "Obviously you're housing people as they come in, so now you're helping the hotels, also transportation."
While the industry creates work for others, Kabolati said Dallas still has its own work to do before really making a splash.
"We've had a few shows that have brought some attention here but nothing that people could look to and say, 'that wouldn't have worked anywhere else,'" he said.
Dallas Film Commissioner Janis Burklund pointed to incentives. "[Dallas] is doing pretty well considering the competitive climate of the industry. But we could certainly do much better if we had better state incentives."
Enticing film makers with state incentives, Kabolati adds, could make Dallas as good a place as any to make film.

The Human Design
An Introduction to the Design in Nature
I am a lawyer from Melbourne, Australia, with my own view of nature gathered over decades of observation and invention. My work is original, and unlike anything you will read from scientists or philosophers. I show a pattern to nature that fundamentally predetermines all structures, from a Big Bang to a human anatomy. Predetermination is a simple reality, given that we have fixed laws and limited mass in the universe, and we only need to track from a Big Bang to a human anatomy to see the pattern. It is just the same old neutrons decaying at a Big Bang, and making repetitive structures based on a clear pattern, seen in retrospect. I have no room for a God after nature has had its say. Nature rules.
The pattern is merely four triangles of electromagnetism, gravitation, rest mass, and energy. They are delineated by a grid of space, time, cause, and effect. These are the four states of matter in nature, and they unify in that pattern universally. Our
anatomy is also constructed exactly to the pattern as a root and branch blueprint, for us to know nature. It literally takes one to know one.
These proposals will seem outlandish, but I
have written a small book to explain it, with large type and a lot of simple diagrams. I
use the most basic facts and logic to show how the pattern predetermines our evolution. I only use plain language, with no math or jargon. The consistency of the pattern raises it to the status of a Design by nature, to a purpose of human types.

The E/M code suggestions offered by your EMR can be helpful; but that does not mean you can use that to justify all high-level codes.
Using electronic medical records (EMRs) in your practice comes with umpteen benefits – Be it saving time, creating legible documentation or sharing history with fellow providers. However, relying too heavily on EMRs could come with its own pitfalls.
Heed these three tips to know where your EMR system could be leading you astray:
Exam Documentation Does Not Carry Over
You may be relying on your EMR too much if it constantly shows E/M documentation that's robust in one section and not so in another (such as exam). To cite an example, an auditor down-coded many of a practice's E/M claims due to empty 'physical exam' sections in the documentation. The practice explained that the EMR vendor had told them that patients being seen for established problems…

Background and Aim: Chronic renal failure is a clinical state which results in declining the kidney function. Chronic renal failure has numerous cutaneous manifestations, when the process of hemodialysis begins, new changes may appear as a result. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of cutaneous problems among patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis in Bandar Abbas, Iran.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 60 patients with chronic renal failure under hemodialysis in Shahid Mohammadi Hospital Dialysis Center were examined by a dermatologist. The data were gathered and analyzed by SPSS software (version 16) using descriptive statistics, t and chi2 tests. P less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The most common skin findings were dry skin (78.3%), followed by pallor (71.7%) and pruritus (58.3%). Other common cutaneous manifestations were half-half nail (35%), idiopathic guttate hypomelanosis (33.3%), yellowish skin color change (31.7%), subungal hyperkeratosis (30%), onycholysis (20%), beau's line (15%), cherry angioma (15%), skin hyperpigmentation (15%) and purpura (13.3%).
Conclusion: Chronic renal failure is associated with various cutaneous manifestations caused by hemodiaysis or the disease itself. The most common ones are dry skin and pallor. The early diagnosis of cutaneous changes may decrease the morbidity and eventually lead to quality of life improvement in these patients.

Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. There, her partner rehabilitated abandoned and abused dogs. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department's curriculum.
Then, in her late 30s, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down-the idea that Christianity, a religion that she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was, an idea that flew in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a "train wreck" at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could.
Rosaria's story was unknown until she was featured in a January 2013 Christianity Today article, which has been read by more than 1.7 million people. That same month she was interviewed by WORLD magazine's Marvin Olasky, and the video went viral.

It may be hard to believe but I've actually never made peach cobbler before. I've made peach pie, peach crisp, peach crumbles, but never cobbler. This means I needed a recipe. Of course I immediately went online and began searching my usual sites, Epicurious and The Food Network and landed upon Paula Deen's recipe for peach cobbler. I figured, if anyone can make it a good peach cobbler, its her.
I started the recipe by blanching my peaches and peeling them. If you've never peeled peaches before, this is by far the easiest way. All you do is boil a large pot of water and drop in your peaches. I let them boil for about 2 minutes and then move them into a bowl of ice water to cool them down. Once they're cool, you can cut a small slit in them and pull the skin right off. It's nice and easy, if not a little messy!
Once the peaches are peeled and sliced, this recipe called for you to boil them, along with sugar and water on the stove for about 10 minutes. I also chose to add in a split vanilla bean to the mixture for more flavor.
This step was key to making the cobbler extra delicious. The boiling peaches, sugar, water and vanilla bean created an incredible sauce, and yes, the whole kitchen smelled divine.
After making the peaches and syrup, place your baking dish with the sliced butter, into the preheated oven. You want the butter to melt completely before you pour in the cobbler mixture.
While the butter is melting, mix up the dry and wet ingredients for the biscuit part of the cobbler. When the butter is melted, first pour in the biscuit mixture, into the butter in the dish. This might seem backwards to you and it is, typical cobbler recipes call for the peaches on the bottom and the dough on top but this one calls for the opposite. The reason is that the dough actually rises up through the peaches and in doing so soaks up all sorts of flavor. It's SO good!
Top the dough mixture with the peach mixture and do not mix it. Place it right in the oven and bake it for about an hour, until the middle has set.
Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. I'm telling you, this was the best peach cobbler I've ever had. Paula knows her peaches.
Here's the recipe, adapted from FoodNetwork.com:
|Peach Cobbler
- 4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
- 2 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 vanilla bean split
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- Ground cinnamon, optional
- Ground Nutmeg, optional
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, vanilla bean, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat. Stir in 2 pinches of nutmeg and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
- Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
- Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
- To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Minnesota Powerball Jackpot Winner Revealed
Paul White, of Ham Lake, MN, is part of a trifecta of lucky Powerball jackpot winners.
We have a winner! Paul White, 45, of Ham Lake, Minnesota, was verified Thursday by lottery officials and declared one of the three lucky Powerball players to hit the jackpot and receive one-third of $448 million pot. Each of the winning ticket is worth about $149 million before taxes.
"I ran around my office screaming when I saw the numbers," White told KARE 5 reporter Dave Berggren.
The store White bought the winning ticket at was also revealed Thursday as the Holiday Stationstore in Anoka County, MN.
White, an electrical contractor and father of a 16-year-old son and 14-year-old daughter, was joined by his longtime partner, Kim VanReese, and co-workers Thursday at Minnesota state lottery headquarters for the official announcement. In a press conference following the check presentation, he said he plans to use the money to take care of his family first, including buying his dad a 1963 Chevy Impala.
The jackpot is the third largest payout in Powerball history. White told the press Thursday he is taking the lump sum payout, which is about $58.3 million.
The other two winning tickets from the Wednesday night drawing were bought in New Jersey and their owners have yet to come forward. A spokesperson for the New Jersey Lottery said one of the winning Powerball tickets was bought at a Super Stop & Shop store in South Brunswick, NJ and the other at an Acme Markets store in Little Egg Harbor, NJ.

Who remembers the ghosts of abused kids?
By Fred Grimm
Nothing's so ephemeral as the community anger over the cruel life and grisly death of Nubia Barahona.
The ghosts of too many other foster kids can testify that the uproar over mistreated and murdered children is as fleeting as smoke. Reports will be forgotten. Reforms will be inadequate. Budgets for the care of foster children will shrink. Caseworkers will be overwhelmed. Bureaucracies will flounder. And Florida will surely suffer outrage next year. Or the year after.
Little Nubia, 10, will simply fade from public consciousness, just another kid saved by the state from a drug-addled, wreck of a mother only to be deposited into circumstances that led to abuse, misery, neglect and an unspeakable death.
Her burned and decomposing body was found stuffed into the back of a pest-control truck in West Palm Beach Feb. 14. Her twin brother, drugged and doused in toxic chemicals, was barely alive. Their adoptive father, Jorge Barahona, the very man chosen by the state to care for these children, was charged with attempted murder and aggravated child abuse.
The ghosts of Florida's other forgotten children could have predicted what was coming next. The Herald's Carol Marbin Miller reported that the Florida Department of Children & Families had received a number of warnings that Nubia had been abused and neglected by Jorge Barahona and his wife, Carmen. Her court-appointed guardian had tried, futilely, to intervene. Teachers, in 2006, 2007 and 2010, warned DCF that they had seen alarming signs. Bruises. Hysterical crying. Chronic absences. A child who came to school unbathed, with a sickening odor. A 2007 call to the DCF hotline said, "Nubia's hunger has been uncontrollable, she sneaks and steals food, steals money, has hair loss, is very thin... nervous and jittery."
Four days before her body was found, DCF received a call warning that the twins were kept bound, stashed in a bathtub in the Barahona house.
Yet the agency failed to act. A child is dead. Her twin is in critical care. The community, for the moment, demands action.
The ghosts remember such talk from the past. Who remembers the ghosts?
Maybe a few of us still remember Rilya Wilson, the foster kid who vanished in January, 2001, months before DCF noticed her disappearance. But what about Jasmine Marie Thomas, the one-year-old who starved to death in Key Largo even while DCF was supposedly investigating her circumstances?
Who remembers Ana and Anthony Pérez in 2002? DCF was warned of problems before their father pummeled them to death. So many other names have slipped from the public memory: David Nieves Jr., 22 months; Natalie Gomez-Perez, just two months; Gabriel Golden, five months; Latiana Hamilton, 18 months; Glemus Guyton, age eight; Tony Bragg Jr., nine months; Gregory Love, 23 months; Zachary Bennett, five; and so many others killed despite DCF oversight. When The Herald counted up the Florida children killed while under protective custody back in 2002, the number was over 100.
"We've had report after report from grand juries and special commissions. That's Florida's reaction to a tragedy," said Howard Talenfeld, longtime child advocate and president of Florida's Children First. He said various agencies, in a fragmented effort, try to make incremental changes. "But there was no united legislative response." Instead, budgets were cut. The guardian program was left underfunded. Contractors and states agencies, each assigned pieces of a child's life, weren't coordinated, didn't communicate. And kids kept dying.
Now comes a recommendation out of the governor's office for a 15 percent cut in the DCF's budget.
The ghosts of Florida's forgotten children know what that will bring.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Five women suffered burns Friday in a cooking fire at a Cal State LA dorm room.
The blaze happened around 8 p.m. at 5425 East Dobbs Street, according to Erik Scott from the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The group was making a large amount of fried food when the cooking oil caught fire.
"Cooking oil flashed, resulting in burns," said Scott.
The victims, ages 18 to 24, were taken to the hospital with first and second-degree burns.
Two girls were in critical condition.
Scott said three of the women were Cal State LA students.

Luckily Mitch and I did get our walkie in this morning!
We've been hanging out in the workshop and playing bitey face.
We actually take turns instigating it. Mitch will be asleep on the bed and I'll go over and stare at him and wag my tail. He'll jump off the bed and the chase will be on!
And then I'll glance at mom to see if she's impressed and he'll nip at my leg and we'll go at it some more!
It's pretty much a silent thing and we're basically pushing at each other to see who gets tired first and gives!
Mitch is a fiesty little sucker! He never gives up - just like me! I think I can be proud of my little brother! He's got gumption, that's for sure!
Mom took this video so you can see us in action.
So this is how we're keeping busy today! After about 2 hours we're both dead to the world till one of us wakes up and then we're off playing bitey face all over again!
Till next time..............
Love ya lots,

Leukeran Uses
A healthcare provider may prescribe Leukeran to treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma in adults. The medication works by disrupting how the cancer cells multiply. While Leukeran can help relive cancer symptoms, it does not cure the disease. There are also some off-label Leukeran uses, such as treating ovarian or testicular cancer.
What Is Leukeran Used For?Leukeran® (chlorambucil) is a prescription chemotherapy medication approved to treat people with certain types of blood cancers. Specifically, it is used in the treatment of the following cancers:
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Leukeran for Chronic Lymphocytic LeukemiaLeukemia is a cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, the middle part of certain bones that produces blood cells. Leukemia occurs when the bone marrow produces a large amount of abnormal blood cells that grow out of control. These abnormal blood cells eventually crowd out normal, healthy blood cells. This can lead to serious problems, including bleeding, anemia, and infection.
Leukemia is generally classified by how quickly the disease develops and worsens (chronic versus acute), and by the type of blood cell affected (lymphoid versus myeloid) (see Types of Leukemia). Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (also sometimes called chronic lymphatic leukemia, or CLL) is a slow-growing leukemia that starts in the lymphocytes.
Leukeran does not cure CLL but may help reduce symptoms. This is known as palliative care.

MIPI Alliance Announces the Formation of a New Birds of a Feather Group to Investigate Software Integration of Hardware Devices
PISCATAWAY, NJ, September 4, 2013 - The MIPI®Alliance, an international organization that develops interface specifications for mobile and mobile-influenced industries, is pleased to announce the establishment of a Software Birds of a Feather (BoF) Group that will explore what the organization can do to support software and management of interfaces inside the mobile terminal at the system design level. Ramin Neshati, engineering manager, I/O Standards and Enabling at Intel Corporation has been named by the MIPI Alliance Board as Chairman of the Software BoF group.
"I look forward to engaging with the mobile hardware and software communities to investigate the potential role MIPI Alliance can play in making the software-hardware interface solutions easier to use for both communities," said Neshati.
The BoF will discuss issues related to mobile system software, device integration and management of hardware interfaces, among other topics. The Software BoF will explore possibilities to bridge the gap between the worlds of software and hardware in ways that simplify life for component designers and system integrators.
"The Software BoF is an opportunity to discuss far-reaching questions and identify whether MIPI has a possible role in solving these problems in the future," said Joel Huloux, Chairman of MIPI Alliance. "The Software BoF will investigate whether there are solutions that can address more of the software layers and help Microsoft, Apple, Google, BlackBerry and other mobile OS vendors simplify integrating hardware components with system software."
MIPI Alliance forms BoF groups to engage a broader community of interested parties to discuss topic areas for possible further development. The Software BoF will be comprised of software engineers, system architects, technical marketing people and product managers, who will collaboratively share ideas to evaluate the Alliance's role to support its specifications with software components.
The Software BoF will be comprised of both MIPI Alliance members and non-members, and is actively seeking additional participants. Teleconferences are planned to take place in advance of the group's first face-to-face meeting in conjunction with the Alliance's all member meeting in Toronto October 7-11.

Such was the destiny of this correspondent's duties that I was to travel to Morocco on a regular basis over the years, and oranges along with Tangier no longer induce in me such a severe emotional reaction.
Over the years the borders have opened, and now you can hit the road to Tangier any time, and Russian stores are full of oranges from Morocco.
But, closer inspection proved that Morocco is not only rich in citrus fruits. A recent trip there brought another Moroccan surprise – the farmers in Agadir province are ready and willing to provide Russia with fresh vegetables every winter. These goods grow here all year, and yields are in the hundreds of thousands of tons.

Family mourns Stamford woman killed on Merritt
STAMFORD — The woman killed in a crash on the Merritt Parkway last weekend leaves behind two sons and many others who remember her as warm, friendly and outgoing.
"I want people to remember what a beautiful soul she was. She had a huge heart and forgave easily. She's going to be dearly missed," said Jacqueline Naranjo-Fernandez, the mother of Bianca Diaz, 31, whose car veered off the road Sunday between exits 35 and 36.
The family has set up a GoFundMe page for Diaz's funeral expenses that has already raised more than $9,000. Viewing hours are this weekend in the Bronx, N.Y., followed by a funeral Mass on Monday.
Diaz was returning home from her job as a hostess in Manhattan around 9 a.m. Sunday when she lost control of her 1997 Honda Accord and crashed into a tree, according to her family and the authorities.
"We went to see the car and get her belongings out of it and it was horrible," her mother said. "It's just — oh my god — you can't begin to imagine the impression that left on me."
There were 211 people killed in car accidents in Connecticut between Jan. 1 and Sept. 17, according to the University of Connecticut's Crash Data Repository. Last year, there were 311, including five fatal accidents in which at least one person died on Route 15, which is the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield County. Through Sept. 3, there were seven fatal crashes on Route 15.
Diaz is survived by her two sons, Tristan, 12, and Jaiden, 9. She lived in Stamford for 10 years but grew up in the Bronx, where her mother and stepfather live. She was hoping to begin a job at Lord & Taylor on High Ridge Road, her mother said.
"She was very hardworking," Naranjo-Fernandez said. "She always put the well-being of her children before everything. She was very family-oriented. Loved her sister and her mom and her dad."
Diaz also loved music, makeup and fuschia and purple flowers, and was very spiritual, her family said.
"She would see little things, like a little butterfly in the road, and say, 'That's grandfather come to visit.' She believed in a higher place and I know she must be there," Naranjo-Fernandez said.
Diaz is also survived by her father, Anthony Diaz; stepfather, Robert Fernandez; sister, Jacqueline Rivera; and brother, Anthony Diaz Jr.
Calling hours are Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at Forever After Funeral Services, 5628 Broadway, Bronx, N.Y. Funeral Mass is 10 a.m. Monday at St. John's Church, 3021 Kingsbridge Ave. in Bronx, N.Y.
To donate to her GoFundMe page, visit the website and search for "Bianca Diaz funeral costs." The family says that is the only real page associated with Diaz's funeral.

Predator Free New Zealand by 2050
The vision of Predator Free New Zealand by 2050 that I've just announced with the Prime Minister is one of the most ambitious conservation goals in the world. Rats, possums and stoats cost our economy $3.3 billion annually and kill more than 25 million native birds a year and we've now pledged to completely eradicate them over the next 35 years. We are investing $28 million in a new joint venture Crown company and my Threatened Species Ambassador Nicola Toki will be working with local conservation groups including the new initiative to make the lower Devonport Peninsula predator free and to create a food corridor for our native birds.
Along with ACC Minister Nikki Kaye I have, as the Minister for Seniors, launched an important new fund to help reduce harmful falls and fractures which are the most common cause of injury in older people and can also deliver a real blow to someone's confidence.
It might be tough to hear, but if you are aged over 65 you have a one-in-three chance of falling and between 10 and 20 percent of these falls can mean serious injury or worse. For anyone over 80 the risk dramatically increases to one in two people falling.
The $30.5 million ACC is investing over four years will support a broad range of initiatives aimed at preventing these falls.
ACC is taking a holistic approach and helping fund access to strength and balance programmes in the community and hospitals as well as assessing visual problems and hazards in people's homes.
Yet another significant investment in the good health of North Shore people was the opening of our hospital's new sky bridge by the Prime Minister. The bridge links the elective surgery centre with the main hospital tower and is part of the DHB's plan to help meet the demands of our growing population.
More than 18,000 elective surgeries were performed on Waitemata patients last year. Some things are priceless – better vision through cataract removal, better mobility after knee and hip operations – these all greatly enhance people's quality of life.
The all-ages playground on Takapuna Beach reserve will finally be open this month and is destined to enhance the beach experience for the young and the young-at-heart. Warm congratulations to Jackie and Chris Reeve for their vision and tenacity and to local board chair Joe Bergin who has staunchly championed it from the start.
My Youth MP, Dani Clements-Levi, has really risen to her role and is doing very well actively encouraging greater involvement from North Shore young people in our democracy and as voters. Now on the Devonport-Takapuna Local Youth Board, Dani's keeping me up-to-date with progress on the new youth centre in Takapuna.
I'm looking forward to hosting my colleague the Hon. Todd McClay for an electorate breakfast in Takapuna on August 19th. Todd will talk about the importance of trade to our economy, in particular how trade can grow the economy, increase investment and create new jobs. If you'd like to attend, contact my electorate office on 09 486-0005 for details and bookings.
