Federated identity management initiatives like Shibboleth are helping create a seamless infrastructure for secure sharing of online resources.
PROVING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL is who he says he is (authentication) and that he has the right to access the resources that he is trying to use (authorization) is at the heart of cybersecurity. All too frequently, however, these functions have been built into individual applications, resulting in myriad authentication and authorization schemes, each requiring unique passwords and user IDs. As a result, hapless users are forced to maintain lengthy lists of application passwords, in order to do their work.
The problem is particularly complex in higher education, where users routinely engage in collaborative activities with peers at other educational, governmental, and corporate institutions. Some of these collaborative activities, such as blogging, only require weak authentication. Conversely, activities such as federal grant management or access into an institutional financial system require strong authentication. Thankfully, the goal of federated identity management (IdM) is to allow a user from one campus (or organization) to perform a web-based single sign-on (SSO) at that campus and then transparently access resources residing at other institutions, if authorized to do so. According to Internet2 Senior Technical Analyst Nate Klingenstein, there are four points key to understanding federated IdM: 1) It leverages local identity to access remote resources; 2) organizations must trust each other; 3) it is highly decentralized; and 4) you can have federated identity without federations.
The Shibboleth system is based on and conforms to both the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) standard (version 1.1) and Microsoft's Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). This allows organizations using disparate authentication and authorization techniques to interoperate by creating a federated single sign-on, and attribute exchange framework that facilitates inter-institutional access and sharing of resources. In addition to supporting the SAML and ADFS standards, the Shibboleth implementation includes features targeted to the needs of higher ed, such as the management of privacy.
According to Steve Carmody, an IT architect at Brown University (RI) and project manager for the Internet2/MACE (Middleware Architecture Committee for Education) sponsored Shibboleth effort, the current release of Shibboleth (version 1.3.3) is very stable and is being used by a large number of campuses and service providers. Version 2 of Shibboleth is in the works and a final release is expected early this year. The new version will support the more interoperable SAML version 2 and is being developed by teams in the United States, Europe, and Australia.
When a user attempts to access a web resource belonging to a remote institution, Shibboleth Service Provider (SSP) software queries the user for his or her home institution.
The user's browser is then directed to Shibboleth Identity Provider (SIdP) software at the user's home institution. The home site uses a web sign-on method chosen by the home institution to authenticate the user.
The SSP passes the user's attributes from the home institution to the web resource, which then uses those attributes to permit or deny access.
Carmody notes that Shibboleth has been adopted more rapidly in Europe than in the US. One of the reasons for this, he believes, is that Europe has been aggressive in developing national licenses for digital content (which requires some sort of federated IdM), whereas this country still generally negotiates licenses on the institutional level. But he says that adoption of Shibboleth in the US is accelerating, perhaps due to the creation and adoption of a common framework for trustworthy, shared management of access to online resources in support of education and research. That is the objective of the InCommon Federation, a trust federation that uses Shibboleth for access control. InCommon now has 47 higher education participants, 16 corporate members, and three national laboratories. Carmody predicts that as an increasing number of US schools adopt Shibboleth, there will be a growing case for vendors to make their applications compatible with Shibboleth—or "Shibbolize" them. He notes that there also is a growing use of Shibboleth to access applications supporting collaboration. The National Science Foundation, for example, recently funded Internet2 to work with existing virtual organizations to implement federated access to their collaborative environments.
Carmody also observes that Shibboleth is often adopted in a three-step process: First, a campus deploys Shibboleth as a web SSO system for intra-campus use. Second, by using Shibboleth to deliver appropriate campus attributes, application development can be simplified and auditing is improved. Third, the campus is ready when the first inter-campus application appears.
Greg Monaco is executive director of the Great Plains Network (GPN), a consortium of 24 universities in eight midwestern states. While he recognizes Shibboleth as a campus single-sign-on solution, he feels that its power lies in bridging campus boundaries.
Monaco points out that like many new technologies, there is a "chicken or egg" problem with adopting Shibboleth. What is the impetus for an institution to use Shibboleth for authentication if it doesn't have any Shibboleth-capable applications? Similarly, why develop Shibboleth-capable applications if there isn't a federation in place to take advantage of them? To address this problem, GPN initiated an 11-institution Shibboleth trial that included researchers as well as technical support staff. The trial has expanded and GPN now hosts a Shibboleth-protected wiki and operates an identity server to grant identities to anyone from a non- Shibboleth-ready campus.
To encourage researchers to adopt the new identification scheme, GPN decided to make available a powerful set of bioinformatics tools developed at the University of Missouri. Missouri was willing to make those tools available to other universities in the consortium, but wanted a mechanism that allowed Missouri to retain access control while the user's home institution managed eligibility. Shibboleth appeared to be the perfect solution. Now, faculty and researchers from other campuses in the consortium can go to the University of Missouri website and access Missouri's bioinformatics tools through a server operated by GPN; the server then uses Shibboleth to obtain the necessary authentication and eligibility from the user's home institution.
Currently, three institutions in GPN use Shibboleth on their home campuses: Arkansas State University, the University of Kansas, and the University of Missouri. So far, says Monaco, GPN has found that the first time a campus sets up a Shibboleth Identity Provider (SidP) and Shibboleth-enables an application, it takes some time to set things up, but the next time around it is straightforward. And other than periodic software upgrades, ongoing maintenance is minimal.
Monaco notes one caveat: "Shibboleth is useful if you have a resource that you want to share with a broad community. But if there are only a couple of people at each institution sharing a resource, there are other solutions such as Globus, or an independent identity provider service like ProtectNetwork.org, that may be more appropriate." Still, he feels GPN has learned a great deal from its Shibboleth trial, and plans to continue working to support multi-university communities.
An early pioneer in federated identity management, in 2004 the University of Texas System joined the National Science Foundation Middleware Initiative-Enterprise and Desktop Integration Technologies Consortium. NMI-EDIT was funded by the NSF in 2001, with the objective to develop tools, software, and practices to support interoperable identity and access management infrastructures.
According to Clair Goldsmith, senior adviser for information technology at the UT System office, UT has focused on using Shibboleth for administrative applications spanning the 15-campus system, and now has more than 30 applications available using Shibboleth-based single sign-on. One of the first applications was to provide wireless access to campus visitors at the system office. UT's newest multi-campus application is the Forensic Assessment Center Network, which permits 4,000 case workers from the Texas Department of Family Protective Services to provide case data from pediatric emergency room visits to be analyzed by the faculty at the four UT medical schools.
Adoption of Shibboleth in this country is accelerating, perhaps due to the creation and adoption of a common framework for trustworthy, shared management of access to online resources in support of education and research.
Goldsmith says that the resources required to deploy Shibboleth were relatively modest. He and another individual (who worked part-time) set up policy, creating a multiinstitution governance structure, and preparing operational documents. A full-time technician was required for nine months to assist individual institutions in setting up their identity servers and provide training on the Shibboleth technology. Now that Shibboleth is up and running, the amount of time required to support the software has dropped dramatically.
Goldsmith notes that while Shibboleth works well with web-based applications, third-party applications that use proprietary authentication schemes frequently present challenges. For example, the Oracle PeopleSoft student information system is not Shibbolethcompliant. Individual campuses, such as The Ohio State University and Griffith University in Australia, have taken the lead in Shibboleth-enabling non-compliant applications.
Goldsmith stresses, however, that such technical standards, while challenging, are easier than developing the policy framework that allows multiple campuses to share resources. To help create a trust fabric between its institutions, the UT System followed a three-step process. First, a statement of direction was adopted that defined a set of standards and compatible technologies that UT CIOs agreed to support at their institutions. Then, in 2006 the UT System adopted a vision statement, which described what was to be achieved by adhering to the statement of direction. That vision was: "All University of Texas students, faculty, and staff are able to access both local and remote resources using their local credentials and attributes, through a seamless technology infrastructure." Finally, UT developed a detailed "Roadmap" to outline the tasks and milestones necessary to achieve the vision.
In addition to creating trust between institutions, Goldsmith also stresses the need for higher education to have a common framework between federations (for example, between the UT System and the Great Plains Network). Essential to such a framework are national standards. In that vein, the UT System has been an active member of the InCommon Federation, has built the UT System Federation to allow for future interoperability with InCommon, and has initiated interoperability discussions with InCommon.

'The Bachelorette': Why Going on the Show for the Wrong Reasons is the Best Way to Win
We all know the saying, "you want what you can't have." This applies to everything from expensive clothing to high caloric food, and above all, potential significant others. No one really goes after the people who make it blatantly obvious that they are available. No, humans crave the chase.
We stan a strong queen. @alabamahannah is on the cover of @people magazine! #TheBachelorette
A post shared by The Bachelorette (@bacheloretteabc) on Jul 31, 2019 at 6:14pm PDT
You would think that on a show like The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, the idea of the chase would be eliminated. Everyone there is supposedly single, available, and dying for the lead to choose them. But that's actually not the case. Every season, there are a few people who are noticeably disinterested. And while that should be a huge turn off for the lead, who has people falling all over themselves to be with them, it actually draws them in. And in a couple of instances, results in them winning.
Cassie Randolph and Colon Underwood
Cassie Randolph and Colton Underwood's relationship is a prime example of a person who didn't particularly care about the lead winning it all. Underwood and Randolph definitely had a connection throughout the season, but it was nothing to write home about. In fact, when she did bring Underwood to her hometown, her dad pulled her aside and said that he didn't feel like she was excited enough about Underwood.
She likes when I do cute things, like kiss her forehead gently. Thanks for putting up with me…. i love your smile… i love you.
A post shared by Colton Underwood (@coltonunderwood) on Jul 22, 2019 at 6:35pm PDT
On top of that, several of the other girls repeatedly told the former football player that Randolph was on the show just to be the Bachelorette! But instead of heeding their warnings, he fell for her.
Then, when she finally got so bored of being in the competition that she tried to go home, Underwood ran away from production and basically threw the biggest temper tantrum the show had ever seen.
Now, the couple is apparently happy together and taking things slow.
Hannah Brown and Jed Wyatt
On Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette, she had a number of men who were less than stellar. But she also had a few who were truly there for her like Peter Weber, Mike Johnson, and Tyler Cameron.
The one person who was obviously not there for love was musician Jed Wyatt. He even told the former beauty queen that he originally came onto the show to promote his career. But it just made her like him more.
What a journey it has been, @alabamahannah. ❤ #TheBacheloretteFinale
"When a guy walks in with a guitar, they're notorious for… you're always [suspicious] of something," she told Entertainment Tonight during the season. "But all I've wanted is someone to be honest and real with me, and he was that. And so, he did exactly what I asked for him to do. I admired that."
In the end, despite a million red flags, Brown chose Wyatt and the two got engaged. Unfortunately, the engagement didn't last past the airing of the show as Wyatt reportedly had another girlfriend the entire time he was filming.
"I am not with Jed anymore," Brown said at The Bachelorette live finale. "The engagement is over, we are not together. That is not what I said yes to. When I said those things, the things that I said to him on my engagement date, I thought that was my day, and I feel like that was taken from me and how special that was, and it's been really hard to gravel with that, but I know that what I got is not what I ever wanted for a life partner and love that is not built on a foundation of trust and honesty. I have grown so much, and I know I deserved more than that."
So if you really want to win a season of The Bachelorette or Bachelor, just go on the show with no intentions of falling in love at all.

What happened on August 9th, 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri? On that hot summer day, Officer Darren Wilson killed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Stranger Fruit is the unraveling of what took place that day, told through the eyes of Mike Brown's family.
I admire Jason Pollock's filmmaking ability here. I unknowingly chose to watch this movie the day before the four year anniversary. I'm a st. louis resident as well. my heart aches watching this. A truly great documentary on such a heartbreaking topic. chills the whole time. He also told the story of the people of Ferguson both before and after which I admire.
Stranger Fruit has a very simple and direct purpose. It's explained right away that this isn't the old information headline blurbs we couldn't avoid a few years ago. This documentary delivers something new that it's too dramatic to say changes the entire narrative of this story, based on the way it was shaped by the media due to one short and edited clip of grocery store surveillance footage. Like "The Blood is at the Doorstep" this documents the upsetting and odd phenomenon of racially biased police brutality, but differs in approach. Neither story is complete or finished, but Doorstep celebrates life while spreading awareness. With the director and Mike Brown's family on stage they asked for silence, they sobbed, they reminded us they were not visiting town for fun but for their new life purpose.
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it felt slightly unfinished, the movie deserves a better editor and graphic design team.
I watched this in the theater with Mike Brown's parents. Surreal.

In the sorl.log there are some error like : Unable to create core: alfresco and an other like : Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: /opt/alfresco-5.0.d/alf_data/solr4/index/workspace/SpacesStore/index/segments_kxf

A: It looks like it could be a permissions problem, assuming those files and directories are actually there. Perhaps someone started the server as root at some point, and you are now trying to run the server as the alfresco user. If so, when the server was running as root, it sets root permissions on all files it creates making them read-only to other users (such as the alfresco user).
So check the permissions on those directories and files, and, if necessary, do a chown to set the owner and group back to the alfresco user. Then start Alfresco as the alfresco user.
Also, if you care about your data you must start backing up your database and your content store, otherwise you are at grave risk of losing everything.

Healthy lifestyles began today by bouncing on exercise balls to music. Then we walked to 20th Century Bowling alley to and knocked down some pins!
I got a strike! My arms kind of sore.
I got a spare. It was a good day!
It was fun to bowl with some new friends today. I am really proud of everyone who participated today.

Dangerous Toxins Found in Fast Food Packaging
By El Paso Chiropractor | Dr. Alex Jimenez
Many grease-resistant fast-food wrappers and boxes contain potentially harmful chemicals that can leach into food, a new study contends.
Testing on more than 400 samples from restaurants nationwide revealed that nearly half of fast-food wrappers and one out of five paperboard food boxes contained detectable levels of fluorine, said lead researcher Laurel Schaider. She's an environmental chemist at the Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Mass.
Previous studies have linked some fluorinated chemicals such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) to kidney and testicular cancer, low birth weight, thyroid disease, decreased sperm quality, pregnancy-induced high blood pressure, and immune system problems in children, the study authors said in background notes.
Toxins found in Fast Food Packaging
Major U.S. manufacturers voluntarily phased out PFOA and PFOS for most uses starting in 2011, but other countries still produce them. These study results show that fluorinated chemicals are still widely present in food packaging, the authors said.
"One of the challenges in avoiding exposure is you can't tell by looking at a wrapper whether it contains fluorine," Schaider said. "We can choose not to purchase a stain-resistant carpet or a stain-resistant coating on our furniture. But it's difficult for a consumer to choose food packaging that doesn't have fluorinated chemicals."
As a class, fluorinated chemicals are referred to as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). They are used in a wide range of products, including carpeting, upholstery, floor waxes and outdoor apparel, the study authors said.
Some fast-food packaging is treated with PFASs to make the wrappers and boxes grease-resistant, Schaider said.
It has been found that PFASs can leach into food from packaging, Schaider said. Heat and grease appear to help the chemicals migrate into food, she added.
According to the Foodservice Packaging Institute, only "short-chain" fluorinated chemicals are still used in fast-food packaging. The "short-chain" chemicals "have been rigorously reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and found to be safe for their intended use," the industry group said in a statement.
PFOA and PFOS are "long-chain" chemicals, and have been phased out, the institute said. "Today's food service packaging is no longer treated with 'long-chain' fluorochemicals, and instead use FDA-approved 'short-chain' fluorochemicals or even newer barrier coatings, which are free of any fluorochemicals," the group added.
Further Research for Toxins in Food Packaging
For the new study, the researchers said they gathered hundreds of samples from 27 fast-food chains in five metropolitan areas across the United States. They used particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) spectroscopy to analyze the samples for fluorine, Schaider said.
"Paper normally doesn't contain much fluorine, so we reasoned this would be a method of detecting the presence of PFASs," Schaider said.
The research team said it found that 46 percent of paper wrappers and 20 percent of paperboard box samples for foods like pizza and fries contained fluorine. The team also tested paper cups used for hot and cold beverages, but found no significant levels of fluorine.
Paper wrapper samples containing fluorinated chemicals ranged from about 38 percent of sandwich/burger wrappers up to about 57 percent of wrappers used for desserts, breads and Tex-Mex foods, the study authors said.
To validate their analysis, the researchers conducted a more detailed study on a subset of 20 samples, Schaider said.
In general, samples that were high in fluorine also contained PFASs. Six of the samples also contained a long-chain PFOA, even though the chemical is no longer widely used because of health hazards.
PFOA could be present in these wrappers because recycled paper was used in their manufacture, Schaider said — an indication of how difficult it is to remove these chemicals from the environment.
Studies have shown that PFASs from consumer products accumulate in landfills and can migrate into groundwater, Schaider said. Fluorinated chemicals also are allowed in compostable food packaging.
"It seems incompatible to have these chemicals that never break down in paper that we want to compost," Schaider said.
There is particular concern regarding the long-term effects of these chemicals on children, said a chemical exposure specialist who wasn't involved in the study.
Fluorinated chemicals have been found in umbilical cord blood, suggesting that fetuses are exposed to PFASs, said Dr. Kenneth Spaeth, chief of occupational and environmental medicine for Northwell Health in Great Neck, N.Y.
The Risks of Toxins in Fast Food Packaging
Approximately one-third of U.S. children consume fast food every day, the study authors noted.
"With chemicals like this, exposure begins in utero and continues once we're born through childhood and into adulthood," said Spaeth. "That has real potential ramifications in terms of our health."
It's unlikely that new regulations will be adopted to remove PFASs from products, Spaeth added. Instead, he recommended public pressure as a means for future change.
"A lot of products have become BPA-free, not because they were forced to but because of public concern and public outcry," he said, referring to Bisphenol A, an estrogen-imitating chemical used in plastics. "If consumers are waiting for public oversight, I don't think it's going to happen."
The study was published Feb. 1 in the journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Back pain and symptoms of sciatica can affect a majority of the population throughout their lifetime. Research studies have demonstrated that people who are overweight or obese experience more back complications than people with a healthy weight. A proper nutrition along with regular physical fitness can help with weight loss as well as help maintain a healthy weight to eliminate symptoms of back pain and sciatica. Chiropractic care is also another natural form of treatment which treats back pain and sciatica utilizing manual spinal adjustments and manipulations.

I love beauty and skin care products. I don't think there is a year that has gone by that I didn't ask for something in those categories for Christmas. I'm so excited to share with you Wilma Schumann's Hydra-Gel Masques. This is a fun, easy to use product that has wonderful skin care benefits!
Purchase at wilmaschumann.com or at your local CVS!
I used the Aloe Vera mask for this review. You are supposed to lay down while using it - which I did - but I couldn't help but take a quick picture first. This mask felt amazing. It was cool and refreshing. It also smelled very nice with a clean scent. I have somewhat sensitive skin and this was a perfect match for me. After using my skin felt soothed and refreshed. I will definitely use these again.

National School Walkout: Why won't East Tennessee students be participating this week?
Why won't many East Tennessee students walk out this week?
Maryville College is one of the few places in East Tennessee planning to participate in the #ENOUGH National School Walkout on Wednesday.
Students across the country will be walking out of their classrooms Wednesday in solidarity with a National School Walkout event commemorating the lives of 17 people who died in a school shooting in Parkland, Florida, and calling on lawmakers to take action on gun violence.
But few schools in East Tennessee will be participating. The event — timed to fall on the one-month anniversary of the Florida shooting — also happens to fall during the middle of spring break for many East Tennessee schools.
Students in Blount County Schools, Knox County Schools, Loudon County School District and Oak Ridge Schools are all on spring break this week.
Officials in other school districts including Campbell County Public Schools and Union County Public Schools said they hadn't heard that their students would be participating.
Kimberly Peterson, spokeswoman for the Women's March Coalition of East Tennessee, said last week she didn't know of any Knoxville-area schools that would be participating in the national event, in large part due to the number that are on breaks.
The #ENOUGH National School Walkout event is being organized by the Women's March Youth Empower, a youth coalition of the Women's March movement that seeks to mobilize young people around issues facing their communities.
On Wednesday, the group is calling on students, teachers, school administrators, parents and others to participate in the walkout for 17 minutes — one minute for each victim in the Parkland shooting — at 10 a.m. across every timezone and call for Congress to take action against gun violence.
More than 2,500 walkouts are planned around the country, according to the group's website, which also offers tips for students who want to participate but may be on spring break.
Students whose schools are on spring break but still want to participate should visit their congressional representatives' local district offices with signs or photos of a loved one killed or injured by gun violence, according to the site.
It also encourages them to support a "List of Demands" including banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and expanding background checks to all gun sales and to post photos on social media with the hashtag #ENOUGH.
Maryville College is among the few schools in East Tennessee that will participate in the walkout, though several high schools and middle schools have held their own events throughout the last month.
The college's student-led walkout will include recognition of the victims from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida; student pleas for greater safety measures; and calls for participants to commit to actions they can take to promote peace. It is being hosted by the student groups Peace and World Concerns and the Progressive Christian Community.
"Being in East Tennessee and the South in general, I think you have a lot of varying opinions (on gun control)," said Ariel Kaylor, co-chair of the Peace and World Concerns group and a junior at Maryville College.
"This walkout is meant to bring everyone together, recognize that gun violence is an issue we're all affected by and not take a political stance in any way. We felt it would be good for everyone on campus to recognize we're on the same page in that respect."
After the walkout students will be asked to answer the question, "What are you doing to make the world a more peaceful place?" write their answers on sticky notes and post them around campus.
"We have no intention to take a political stance or make any student uncomfortable with what we say," Kaylor said. "We just wanted to find a way to have a call to action without picking one side or the other, so we felt that question was pretty baseline, I would say."
Some schools in East Tennessee have held walkouts over the last few weeks, including in Lenoir City and Knoxville, in anticipation of the break coming this week.
Anderson County Schools, which is in session this week, has issued guidance to principals on allowing students to participate in walkouts if they so choose and how to do so in a safe and efficient manner, said Greg Deal, assistant director of schools.
Deal said he did not know of any schools in the district that would definitively be participating.
March for Our Lives, a national student-led march against gun violence, is also planned for March 24 in locations around the country.
A Knoxville march is planned for 2 p.m. at the Humanities Amphitheater at the University of Tennessee on March 24. There will be a rally with a chance to hear from speakers followed by a march to the Ayers Hall lawn, according to the event's Facebook page.
"I think almost every school in Blount County is on spring break, so I don't know if they'll have the opportunity to do (the walkout this week)," Kaylor said. "But I know there are several campuses across the nation that are doing this and that other schools across the nation are taking the same stance we are."

Motorstorm Apocalypse at Eurogamer 2010
Posted by Neil in Featured Articles, Hands-On, PS3 | 0 comments
Showcasing both 2D and 3D versions, both still in pre-alpha, Motorstorm Apocalypse takes arcade racing and tears it a new exhaust pipe. Stripped down to its core elements it's a racing game, but with so much happening on screen you hardly notice there's a race to be won.
The last two Motorstorm outings were wild rides in their own right, with plenty of on track barging and ramming to keep ardent arcade racer fans happy, but if all they'd done is update that and give it a new coat of paint I'd be calling it nice but not nice enough. Ah, but there's some very cool stuff happening in Apocalypse – stuff that looks like a definite reason to pick this up when it lands sometime in 2011.
See if you can picture this: You sit down in front of the screen, slap the 3D specs on (and I had to plonk them on top of my already bespectacled up nose, which wasn't as bad as you'd think), pick up the joy bat and hit a button and immediately you're thrust into a chaotic scene. Tearing down a rubble strewn city thoroughfare, the AI competition are trying to ram you off the road. Then – holy Jesus! – an oil tanker flips out in front of you. You skid round it, find the boost button and nail it down with your thumb. Boom! Your car's just blown up because you forgot to let go of boost and once it gets to critical mass your car goes up in a ball of flames. A second later you're back in the saddle, mindful of the boost meter, using short sharp bursts like it's an M16.
I hadn't really noticed I was racing, I was too busy checking out the 3D stuff and wowing at all the explosions going on around me. Then the massive, 40 storey office tower up front starts to come down and the prompt to press the square button pops up, delivering a zoom in on the building's downfall. This has all happened in the first fifteen seconds of the race. In 3D. Seriously, it's incredibly busy on screen. And it goes on, streets collapse under your car, dropping you into underground tracks, people get run over, flipping over your car, bullets zip by, cars come crashing out of windows above you that have nothing to do with the race at all and everything to do with the massive earthquake that's destroying the city all Motorstorm Apocalypse races are set in. It is bonkers. This is the kind of competition that Need For Speed is going to have to deal with if it wants to get ahead in this market, and I for one welcome this kind of race thrill. I couldn't give a toss for Forza 3 and GT5, racing sims seem like games for sufferers of OCD – gotta get the perfect racing line, gotta keep doing it until I'm clean.
But this, though, this is the business. Like Split/Second and, to a certain extent Blur, Motorstorm Apocalypse shuns all that proper realism in favour of good old fashion fun. It reminds me of the hours of fun us old farts used to have playing Road Rash on the Megadrive. It had bugger all to do with real racing mechanics and everything to do with taking a chain and breaking the face of the rider beside you.
Anyway, let's get back to the demo. The one race available on both the 2D and 3D machines lasts for all of four minutes. It's fast, furious, full of places to wipe out and the kind of game that brings myself and many others here back for more. Honestly, I must have played it three times before I remembered it was a racing game and I should maybe try to win a race. I even waited while the bigger boy in front of me finished a race and started another – Mr Nonchalant hiding behind his 3D shades, one day the rest of us will rise up and do a Ceaser all over your back.
What got me about this game was that when Need For Speed is showing off its multiplayer, Motorstorm Apocalypse is demoing solo races, and they're still way more thrilling. Even without the 3D extras, Motorstorm comes out on top. In fact, I'd go so far as to say the 2D version is the better game. While the 3D can be captivating, especially when the buildings are toppling down on you, the 2D version allowed you to concentrate on the actual racing, which in 2D feels more immediate; you're looking to win rather than looking for a series of thrilling visuals.
Either way, knowing how much fun Blur was online, and I mean fun as in everyone racing is laughing and chatting and only occasionally do you hear anyone raise their voice in anger, I can only imagine that Motorstorm Apocalypse will be hilarious in multiplayer. All that chat from so many other race game makers about playing with friends online being the most important thing these days now seems like they've basically given Motorstorm Apocalypse a free ride to pole position.

A Neurotic Fan's Guide to Manchester United vs. Liverpool
Liverpool will find a way to blow it. And Manchester United will get torn apart by Liverpool's high-flying attack. A pair of rival supporters work through their emotions together.
By Micah Peters and Ryan O'Hanlon Mar 9, 2018, 5:30am EST
Share All sharing options for: A Neurotic Fan's Guide to Manchester United vs. Liverpool
On Saturday, the two most successful clubs in English soccer history square off in a battle ... for second place. Despite seemingly different trajectories—Liverpool soaring, and Manchester United struggling to stay afloat—José Mourinho's side is still two points ahead in the table. Our resident Liverpool and United fans got together to work through their collective anxiety and preview the weekend's opening game.
Ryan O'Hanlon: Micah, you're my friend, but you're also dirty, rotten, and you have no soul. The shorthand for that: "You are a Manchester United fan." Your team has been in second place for nearly the entire season. You've got all the money in the world, you've got Paul Pogba, you've got Alexis Sánchez, you've got Romelu Lukaku, and you've got José Mourinho. You just beat Chelsea and Crystal Palace. And now you're hosting my beloved Liverpool, who've lost 10 of their previous 13 Premier League games at Old Trafford. Considering all that, how many goals do you expect the Red Devils to win by on Saturday?
Micah Peters: Ordinarily I'd say it'd be a very tedious and workaday one-goal win. Ordinarily I'd say that. But I feel like if Álvaro Morata finishes that volley, the game against Chelsea goes an entirely different way—Chelsea were largely the better team, somehow. And as satisfying as it was to see Nemanja Matic—who literally only scores bangers—score a banger and put a stop to a horrible run of away form, United got off to a horrible start at Selhurst Park. I feel like Liverpool will be more punitive about those lapses in concentration, even if y'all haven't won a league title in 28 years, Ryan.
By the way, Paul Pogba and Alexis Sánchez are cannibalizing each others' ability to freewheel, if you ask Jamie Carragher. And both could easily be on their way out of the club in the summer, if you ask Miguel Delaney.
O'Hanlon: I appreciate your attempts at rationality—so let's stay there for a second. [Removes clip-on ponytail made of Andriy Voronin's actual hair.] Despite the table and despite recent history, Liverpool are the favorites here—and rightfully so. (FiveThirtyEight puts the odds at 43 percent for a Liverpool win, 31 percent for a United victory, and 25 percent for a draw.) Jürgen Klopp's team really hasn't put in a bad league performance since the loss to Tottenham back in October, while Mourinho's side seems to be flipping a coin with each match, and thanks to David de Gea, it keeps coming up heads. From expected goals to raw shot totals, pretty much every number suggests that Liverpool are the better team by a significant margin. Thank you for engaging with these facts.
And yet ...
Peters: And yet in a big game you'd still want to have José Mourinho manage your side over Jürgen Klopp, or ... and yet United still have David de Gea, who's more than likely to tally up 14 saves on Saturday?
David de Gea Shouldn't Be This Good
O'Hanlon: And yet I can't forget 2008-09, when Liverpool beat Manchester United twice, including a 4-1 win at Old Trafford, and still managed to finish four points back in second place. I can't forget that 3-0 loss in 2014, the first emergence of de Gea from the underworld, when Liverpool outshot United 19-11 and still didn't find the net with any of their nine shots on goal. And I can't forget the game from EARLIER THIS YEAR, when United registered a solitary shot on target and still managed to come away with a point. Rational analysis doesn't seem to apply when these teams meet.
Peters: I noticed that you went back three years to find an interesting meeting of these two teams, because since Mourinho took over, these games have largely been like watching paint dry. In a frozen tundra. Over the last five meetings, there have been six goals total. José prides himself on that joylessness, or at least he did before Manchester City made being fun a necessity. Look at this quote about the melancholy of a scoreless draw away at Liverpool in October 2016. He was positively tickled by it: "We controlled the game, not just tactically, but the emotion of the game. That was probably the quietest Anfield I had and I was expecting it to be the other way."
O'Hanlon: I gotta admit, I prefer the uneventful silent film version of this story to the 2-1 loss in 2015 that did Steven Gerrard's character dirty.

Peters: Don't disrespect the fastest red card in Premier League history by reducing it to a meme like that. It deserves to be experienced in its full glory, and by "full" I mean "extremely shaky camera work and off-kilter fan commentary."
O'Hanlon: But the memes were so good:

O'Hanlon: I just turned 30, and I can't believe I'm asking you this, but the Internet turns us all into children, so: Who's most likely to become a meme after Saturday's game?
Peters: Wow. But actually, it's tough to say since both Marouane Fellaini and Phil "Derp King" Jones will be unavailable through injury. Aside from that, maybe Bobby Firmino? He certainly has the funniest teeth. I don't know! Who's the player in your side—that plays, so not Simon Mignolet— that you trust the absolute least? That's who'll be the most likely to be sacrificed for retweets.
O'Hanlon: With no Mignolet and (I think [read: hope]) no Dejan Lovren, Liverpool's negative meme potential takes a hit. I don't know if it counts as a "meme"—is everything technically a meme now?—but I'm hoping for another canonical addition to this:
So now that we've laid our neuroses out there—I think Liverpool will lose because they're playing Manchester United, and you think Manchester United will lose because they're playing Liverpool—let's spend a little bit of time on how the game might actually play out. If United pulls this off, what do you think that looks like?
Peters: I'm willing to bet that it looks like vintage Mourinho, so the opening exchanges might go something like this ...
... then the play opens up a bit after the restart, and after United unjustly knicks a goal somewhere around the 70th-ish minute, they park a steel-plated triple-decker bus to ride out the win. What about if the result falls in your favor?
O'Hanlon: I think you're right. I can't remember the last time United tilted the field for 90 minutes against a good team. Whether that's due to mismatched personnel or the conservative tendencies of their manager, I'm not sure, but they just haven't put in a no-questions-asked-we-deserved-the-win performance against a top-five side since Mourinho came to town. If they get the win, I think it might be an early goal after Pogba moves the ball into the final third beyond Liverpool's midfield, and Sánchez, Lukaku, and Whoever the Third Attacker Is break down the backline, à la the first goal against Chelsea. Then, as he's done all year, de Gea grows six extra arms and makes a handful of miraculous saves.
Peters: Sure United are bad, but they're also predictable. And still, nine points clear of the defending champions and in second place, and owners of a solid if dull string of results against your team. It makes my head hurt, but also, beating Liverpool would make my heart sing, so.
O'Hanlon: Lemme pile on for a sec. If Liverpool wins, I think it comes in a dominant way. They won't sit back and selectively press like they did against City. No, they'll have most of the ball. They'll harass Matic, Pogba, and, oh my god, can you imagine Scott McTominay going up against a Klopp counter-press? And the rotating front three of Mohamed Salah, Firmino, and Mané, along with late runs from the midfielders and width from the fullbacks just sends the United backline spinning. Maybe the scoreline ends up being close, but I don't really see Liverpool winning a 50-50 game ... because I can't really see this being a 50-50 game.
Peters: It's no secret that I don't trust Scott McTominay yet so I don't disagree. If it is a close game, then the result comes down on our side, I think. But it will either be a controlled and boring affair, or an unmitigated disaster and nowhere in-between.
O'Hanlon: Do we think this result has any effect on whether or not either team qualifies for the Champions League next year?
Peters: FiveThirtyEight says there's virtually no way either of these teams drop out of the top four.
So, we're getting stressed for no reason really. Except, you know, bragging rights.
O'Hanlon: The math is telling me to calm down, but the math never had to root for Jonjo Shelvey.
Also, I just found this. Who said YouTube's recommendation algorithm was destructive?
Peters: Will you be available for a meeting at 3 p.m. about nothing specific? (These hands.)

Things to Do in Royal Tunbridge Wells
58km (36 miles) SE of London; 53km (33 miles) NE of Brighton
Dudley Lord North, courtier to James I, is credited with the accidental discovery in 1606 of the mineral spring that led to the creation of a fashionable resort, Royal Tunbridge Wells. Over the years, "Chalybeate Spring" became known for its curative properties, the answer for everything from too many days of wine and roses to failing sexual prowess. It's still possible to take the waters today.
The spa resort reached its peak in the mid-18th century under the foppish patronage of Beau Nash (1674-1761), a dandy and final arbiter on how to act, what to say, and even what to wear (for example, he got men to remove their boots in favor of stockings). Tunbridge Wells continued to enjoy a prime spa reputation up through the reign of Queen Victoria, who used to vacation here as a child, and in 1909 Tunbridge Wells received its Royal status.
Today, the spa is long past its zenith. But the town is a pleasant place to stay -- it can be used as a base for exploring the many historic homes in Kent; it's very easy, for example, to tour Sissinghurst and Chartwell from here.

John, in his blog, writes, "I love to study the housing markets in Maine, but I often find it quite challenging to find quality, legitimate, useful information on how the markets are actually doing." This blog exists to solve that problem. John is not uncomfortable with statistics, and often provides detailed analyses on local markets.
The blog contains a collection of posts sorted by location that goes back years. Towns like Bath, Brunswick, Cumberland, Falmouth, and more all have unique archives with dozens of posts dedicated to them. If you're interested in Maine real estate in any form, check out MainePropertyBlog.com.

John's third blog, PortlandMaineHome.com, is structured in a way that's similar to his coastal Maine blog, but it covers Portland specifically as well as the surrounding towns and neighborhoods. John provides his trademark market statistics and analysis, but he also includes community information and other data that would be of use to potential homebuyers interested in the area.
In one recent market update, he included an entire paragraph devoted to praising the impressive park system of South Portland. He lists several parks and touches on their historical significance as well as community events, such as winter ice skating, that are featured in the area.

Awesome bookI really enjoyed this book. Can't wait for the next book. A great new series to read while waiting for the next best thing.
Good readNice story. Terrible proof reading job. Good characters. Wish there was not so many errors, it really took away from the story.

The EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) panel on Biological Hazards has recently published its scientific opinion on the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of lactic acid for surface decontamination of beef carcasses, cuts and trimmings.
The panel concluded that treatments for decontamination of beef surfaces consisting of using 2-5% lactic acid, applied either by spraying or misting, are safe. Several studies were evaluated that reported significant reductions in microbial loads (e.g. E. coli) compared to water treated or untreated carcasses.
Although EC Regulation No 853/2004 allows the use of decontamination as a supplement to good hygiene practice, at this time no treatments are authorized by the European Commission with the exception of potable water. Recent outbreaks of dangerous Shiga-toxin producing non-O157 STEC/EHEC strains have again emphasized the need for additional interventions throughout the food chain.
"Our PURAC® portfolio is effective against E. coli when decontaminating surfaces of fresh meat. These natural anti-microbials have proven themselves in the beef industry by having been successfully used for decades as part of multiple hurdle systems. Purac sees the positive opinion of the EFSA panel as an important step forward in European Commission efforts to combat various food-borne pathogens." said Lonneke van Dijk, Category Manager Meat at Purac.


"So I replied by sending this message to them: 'I am doing a great work! I cannot stop to come and meet with you.' Four times they sent the same message, and each time I gave the same reply" (Nehemiah 6:3-4 NLT).
Negative people will distract you. You know God has given you an important assignment. But these naysayers tell you that you're the wrong person. You've got the wrong idea. You're doing it the wrong way.
Israel's enemies didn't want to see Jerusalem defended. Leaders realize that every opportunity comes with opposition. I've never done anything in my life that wasn't opposed by somebody. Opportunity plus opposition equals God's will.
Nehemiah's enemies tried all sorts of things to stop him from rebuilding the wall around Jerusalem. They tried ridicule, rumors, and threats. When none of that worked, they tried to slow him down with discussion.
Your critics — the naysayers who want to prevent you from doing what the Lord has called you to do — will use the same bag of tricks. They'll ridicule you, spread rumors about you, and even threaten you to get you to stop doing what God wants you to do.
But instead of listening to them, respond the way that Nehemiah did.
We don't need to fight with naysayers. It's not worth it. Billy Graham once told me you can wrestle with a pig, but only one of you is going to enjoy it. He was correct. If you want to go take on people who are negative about what you're doing, you'll just waste your time.
Nehemiah didn't defend his work. You don't need to defend yourself either. Just let it go. Have enough faith to wait for the day God's work through your life will be proven correct. That day will come.
Why is it so hard to ignore naysayers?
How have you faced opposition and naysayers as you've followed God?
What might you say to naysayers based on what you've learned today?


Wells Fargo announced Wednesday that its chief executive and chairman, John Stumpf, is retiring in the wake of a scandal in which bank employees opened credit cards and deposit accounts without customers' permission.
The change, which is effective immediately, raises questions from lawmakers and investors about Sloan's history and whether his appointment is enough to move the bank in a new direction.
It was widely expected that Sloan would take the helm at Wells Fargo after Stumpf eventually retired. Still, Stumpf's retirement came sooner than expected, with previous timelines calling for him to retire within two years.
How long has Sloan been at Wells Fargo?
Sloan has been at the bank since 1987, when he joined as part of the loan adjustment group. He held various positions during his time at Wells Fargo, including senior executive vice president, chief financial officer and head of the wholesale banking group. He takes on the role of CEO less than a year after he was named chief operating officer in November 2015.
What did he do before joining the bank?
According to his company profile, he spent three years working at Continental Illinois Bank in Chicago. He earned his bachelor's degree in economics and his MBA from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Was he involved with the part of the bank that made the fake accounts?
Sloan said Tuesday on CNBC that Carrie Tolstedt, who led the bank's community banking unit where the misconduct occurred, reported directly to him when he became the chief operating officer late last year. But he spent most of his career at Wells Fargo working for a different side of the bank that focused more on serving corporations or professional investors, which is separate from the retail side of the bank that got in trouble for making the fraudulent accounts. Some analysts say that gives him some distance from the scandal, which could come in handy as lawmakers and investors look for reassurance that the bank is heading in a new direction.
Is he linked to any other controversies?
Not directly, but he has had to step forward to help handle some of the other problems at the bank. Bloomberg reported that he helped defend the bank and "quiet concerns" after the former chief financial officer resigned for personal reasons in 2011. And anti-bank protesters picketed in front of his home in 2011 and 2012 as a part of the Occupy Wall Street movement.
So does this mean the drama is over at Wells Fargo?
Far from it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who called on Stumpf to resign when he was grilled by the Senate last month, said the bank should be investigated by the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission. She also said Stumpf should "return every nickel he made" while the fraud was going on. Federal prosecutors launched an investigation of the bank last month, which could lead to civil or criminal charges. The Labor Department is looking into whether the bank fired employees who reported the unethical behavior.
Plus Sloan's long history with Wells Fargo still leaves him open to criticism from people who want to see more drastic changes at Wells Fargo.
Does this change anything for customers?
Not right away. Sloan may eventually have some new ideas for how the bank should handle customers' accounts. But as he pointed out after the announcement, the bank has already made a series of changes. For instance, customers are now notified within an hour when an account has been opened in their name and bank employees must take additional steps to confirm someone's authorization before they can open another account. The bank sent a note to customers Wednesday afternoon that summed up some of those steps.
What does Sloan have to say about his new job?
In an interview with The Washington Post, Sloan said he wished the transition was happening under different circumstances. When asked what his biggest challenge will be, Sloan said: "While I am confident in my ability to be successful in the role, it is a new role." But he said the "good news" is that he will be surrounded by a team that can help him as he moves the company forward. "We have a reputation we need to repair," he said.


The purpose of a profile essay is to interview someone and then write a paper on the information that you gathered from that interview. Your focus is to give your reader a good idea of who the person that you interviewed is. You can write this paper on an event or place as well. If this is your focus, you would likely interview people who work the event or who are in charge of the place. If you are looking to write an effective profile essay, all you have to do is follow these five quick tips.
You want to make sure that you choose someone that you will be able to interview and someone who is known in the community. You can write a paper on anyone but to get the best results, it may be important to make sure that you choose someone who people want to know more about. Try to get an audience with a local politician or the fire chief.
You will need to create the questions for the interview. Use open ended questions so that you will get more than just a yes or no answer. You can get a lot more out of an open ended question and that will give you more information to write about. Try not to create too many questions. Stick to around ten questions. You don't want to annoy your person and you don't want to have so much information that you can't compile a solid essay from it.
Plan out how you will write your paper. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is to create an outline. You wouldn't try and put together an entertainment center without the instructions, so create a plan for your paper. It will help you get your paper to flow nicely and keep you from jumping around and confusing your audience.
You can work on turning your outline into a rough draft by adding information. Be sure to include some background information in the introduction and then find a crafty way to present the information that you gathered from the interviews for the body. End with a conclusion that wraps it all up.
You will now read through your paper several times to make sure that it is error free.

Fridays at UKFast – 19th June
19 June 2015 by Jenn Granger
Welcome to Friday everyone! This week we've been talking about a new direction for passwords, and a very ironic security breach, as well as the possibilities of the IoT, life at UKFast and a connectivity con. Have a good weekend!
Rotten Apple
Critical zero day flaws have been discovered in Apple's iOS and OS X which would let attackers "crack Apple's password-storing keychain, break app sandboxes, and bypass its App Store security checks". This would basically let them steal passwords from installed apps. What's worse is that the researchers that found the flaw told Apple about six months ago and yet the vulnerabilities still seem to be there, so the group decided to go public with the info themselves.
Because the apps are set up to be able to talk to each other it could have big problems if malicious attackers took advantage of these flaws. "For now, the best advice would appear to be cautious in downloading apps from unknown developers – even from the iOS and Mac App Stores – and to be alert to any occasion where you are asked to login manually when that login is usually done by Keychain," 9to5's Ben Lovejoy says.
And in a Galaxy pretty close to here…
It's not just Apple though – another flaw has also been announced this week that could affect a scary 600 million Samsung Galaxy users! It's pretty bad too, as the flaw in the Swift keyboard could let an attacker potentially access the camera and microphone, secretly install apps, access pictures and listen in on phone calls. SwiftKey says the flaw is "low-risk" though. Hm.
If your phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6/S5/S4/S4 Mini you could be at risk, although there may be more affected models identified as time goes on. It's important that you avoid insecure wifi (unprotected networks while out and about etc.) and these should be used with caution anyway; always tell your phone to forget the network once you've left the location if you do use it. Otherwise the best advice is probably to contact your mobile operator to see if a patch has been issued, and in the meantime maybe consider using a different device.
A new kind of TV remote controller is here – your mind! It sounds a bit Twilight Zone-y but the BBC has set up an experiment asking ten employees to control iPlayer using only their minds. The subjects wore headsets and, using either 'meditation' or 'concentration', managed to control the show. Apparently the tech uses the brainwaves that you produce when you're concentrating to work, and connects to an app.
When the participants chose concentration, the electrical activity the employees produced was shown onscreen; once certain levels were hit, iPlayer was switched on. It's not exactly the fastest way of choosing shows, and might require a bit more brain power than we want to give when choosing our evening viewing, but it could have amazing implications for people with restricted movement such as those suffering from Motor Neurone Disease. The headset is low cost so possibly – with a bit more fine-tuning – this could become a reality soon!
Tech might get a bad rep sometimes but the improvements it can make to people's lives are incredible. A bionic hand, dubbed the 'most lifelike' so far, has been given to a woman in London and has made an amazing difference to her life. The arm was designed by Formula 1 and it's been said to deliver "unrivalled level of precision and natural movements".
The hand weighs about the same as a bar of chocolate and has been designed with women and children in mind. The company said it's built to mimic an accurate skeletal structure and has miniaturised components which will enable the wearer to do the small, delicate movements that weren't possible before.
This is clearly why we have internet…
Have a good weekend!
