Have you ever walked into a paint store, hoping to find the wall color for your home, only to feel totally overwhelmed by all of the options? Well on this episode of Designed to the Nines, I show you just how easy it is to pick the perfect paint color for your walls.
I am so excited about today's post, because it is on what just might be my most asked question of all time. What color should I paint my room? I just got asked this the other day! Honestly, I think people when they ask me this they're expecting me to just tell them a color and send them on their merry way to the paint store, and they're done.
But let me tell you. This is very subjective, and there's a lot more that goes into it than that. There are things that you need to consider. Maybe a purple room is the perfect color for your room. Maybe it's gray, but with all of this in mind, I have compiled my top five tips to select a paint color that is sure to put a smile on your face every time you enter the room.
Tip number one is you must have an inspiration piece! Whether it's a pillow or piece of fabric or a rug, you need a jumping off point for the whole design of the room. You can't just go into a paint store and pick a color and expect that it's going to work for the design that you end up going with. In fact, you'll find that it will create you more problems. It should be something that has kind of all of the colors that you're hoping to have in your room, and that is going to be your jumping off point.
While painting a room can be the biggest bang for your buck, it is very time-consuming. So once you have painted a room, you're not going to want to turn around and do it all over again because you picked the wrong color. So we're going to try to avoid this pitfall. Choosing an inspiration piece is critical. You must do this before you ever step foot in a paint store. If you don't do this, you are going to regret it.
Do your homework. If you haven't already discovered the magic land of Pinterest, you're going to want to go there and start pinning a whole bunch of rooms that you like. Pin it without thinking too much. Just go in and organize it how you want, but just pin things that sing to you and speak to you and really make you happy. Then I want you to go back and look through all those rooms and look for a common theme.
Maybe you really love the color turquoise and think you would be really happy if you had an entire room painted in it, but when you go look at the pictures on Pinterest, you don't see any turquoise walls.
You may discover you really like gray walls, and what you can do is bring in the color turquoise through bold statements. That's what I've done.
I use color strategically, and I do it on accent walls and my window treatments and pillows, and I make the bold statement there. So you're going to want to do this step before you ever set foot into a paint store. Otherwise, you might end up with turquoise walls that you want to paint down the road.
Okay. So now that you have an inspiration fabric, and now that you kind of have an idea of what colors speak to you, and that might kind of influence the way you select an inspiration fabric.
So what you're going to do from here is to look at that inspiration fabric/rug and ask yourself, "What colors do I have to work with?" See what color possibilities you have based on the color palette and your newly discovered preferences. Then I want you to go back to Pinterest and search out the most popular versions of those colors. When you pull it up, you'll see a common theme. You can see what they look like in a room, and you can get a feel for how they might look. And what you can do is compile a list of colors.
This is where we go to the paint store, and we get samples. We don't buy paint yet. Okay? So we go to the paint store, and we don't buy paint! Trust me. Don't do that.
You're going to want to just get a lot of samples. They're free. They don't care. Just take as many as you think you need, and you can also buy the little jars. Just know you are going to need to take at least two trips: one or two times for samples and finally to buy paint.
Do not be intimidated. Just trust your research and gut if you see some new options in the store take those home for consideration as well.
Tip number five is getting the samples on the wall, whether they're paint chips or hopefully, you've got samples of the paint, and you can actually paint it on the wall at this point. I want you to put it on a couple of different walls.
Live with it a day or two, because you're going to need to see the paint in different light, at different times of the day, because it will change. You'll find it's a very big change, and you want to see how it looks in your space.
Usually, more often than not, there's going to be a very clear winner, and you're going to be like, "Oh, yep. That's the one." And then you're good. You're done. Sometimes there's not a clear winner, and usually, it's because you've selected two very good colors. They're very similar, and so in that case, I would just poll your family and friends and see what they all think, and then go with the winner. You probably can't go wrong in this situation.
A couple of side notes that I wanted to give to you. A couple of color families are notoriously tricky: Blues and Yellows.
With yellow, I typically try to avoid using it at all on a wall, just because it is so hard to select! Now that's not saying you can't do it, but I would do a lot of homework, and definitely make sure you get those actual paint samples on the wall if you want to do yellow.
While blue is hard, it's not as hard as the yellow. The problem with blue is a lot of times it ends up looking a little juvenile, so you want to make sure that you select a blue that is definitely more muted, has some green and grays in it, and that will make it feel a little more sophisticated and little less juvenile.
Another thing to know is I typically use eggshell and satin for the main body of the wall. You will want to use semi-gloss for trim and woodwork, and then flat paint for the ceiling.
Now, a lot of designers would disagree with me, but I prefer a white ceiling. Some designers really like to put a color on the ceiling as well, but I just prefer a white one. So I'm going to push against that trend, and probably get some comments on it, but that's okay. I like a white ceiling.
After all this, if you are still not sure, here are a few of my favorite tried and true paint colors. Most of them are Restoration Hardware colors. Now they don't have a huge selection of paint colors, but what they do have work really well, and they've obviously done their homework to select really awesome colors that work in a lot of interior spaces.
and Repose Gray by Sherwin-Williams.
For the tricky blue, I really like Silver Sage by Restoration Hardware.
I never have gone wrong with that color. It's one that pulls gray at times, pulls blue at others, and pulls green at other times. So it is a really versatile blue. I have a lot of luck with that.
I don't really buy Restoration Hardware Paint, I usually go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy a less expensive paint and have them color match the color.
Which brings me to my final tip, which is color matching. If there's a color in your pillow or your inspiration fabric that you really love and can transport that into the paint store, they can color match it. You can get an exact match of that color as long as there's enough for them to scan it with. And so that is a tip you definitely want to take.
Again, don't buy it on your first trip. Make sure you get it on your wall. See how it looks on a bigger scale.
I hope you learned something that was useful to you in this post.
I've gotten some really fun stuff coming. You're definitely going to want to watch for those posts.

Q: todonotes alternative I'm using Overleaf, and because of todonotes package the inverse search doesn't work:

Couldn't find the corresponding source file.

It's a known error: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/SyncTeX_Errors:

The todonotes package also loads the fadings library, so may also cause SyncTeX to fail.

Are there todonotes alternatives without this problem?

Thats okay. Just add me on skype.
Hi, I have kind of gotten bored of playing minetest on regular servers, and I would like a person to play with just me and him/her. I'm 11, my skype is Immaninja54, and if you want to voice call that will be fine. I know, my username is weird but all well. Please reply!
Me too. It won't even allow me to connect! It says Access Violation. And when I try to connect, a long message of 0s, Us, and Fs show up on the terminal window that pops up with the game.
Seems cool! I love the mysterious portal near spawn! But you should disable fire please.
How do you run a server 24/7? Please help me!
Glomie I'm very angry with your server. Why can't I build past third coordinate 0? My house is near spawn, and I can't even build that!

I've experienced the same things. I see bes's protects all over the map. Just don't forget to use protects.
Can you disable "fire" please? I've seen some houses made of wood burned down from griefers pouring lava on them.
I'm still kind of confused... I'm pretty new to minetest. Do I download the unstable or something else?

Nanoarchitectonics of Thermoresponsive Polymer Brushes Impact Protein Adsorption and Cell Adhesion.
Due to the requirements for biomedical applications, controlling of surface topography and chemical functionality on the nanometer scale is crucial for the development and the design of tailor-made smart bio-interfaces. Thus contributing to a faster conversion, nano-technological knowledge can assist bio-scientific approaches. In this regard, our research is focused on nano-engineering of well-defined, tunable and nano-scaled polymer brush systems, sensitive to different physical or chemical stimuli.
The advantages of polymer brushes are manifold, e.g. defined adjustment of physico-chemical surface properties by grafting density, molecular weight and composition; response of the polymer chains to environmental changes followed by switching of surface properties; enormous variety of well adjustable polymer brush compositions (homo, binary, ternary). In this way, the polymer brush properties open many possible applications, especially for the ability to adapt and regulate interactions with cells and biomolecules such as switchable adsorption or bio-functionalization. Respectively, the results in the featured article demonstrate the sensitivity and selectivity of polymer brush systems as a cited example. As one can observe, small changes of the brush composition sufficiently effect as well as potentially enhance the impact on protein adsorption and cell behavior onto the brush surface. In particular, cells are attracted to response to the flexible polymer brush layer in a characteristic manner. Each brush composition whether homo or binary polymer brush shows specific cell interactions.
In addition, the easy-to use and adaptive brush preparation process -the grafting-to process- is a simple technology attractive for industrial manufacturing. Polymer brushes used as functional nano-scaled coatings have a significant relevance for bioscience applications in the fields of tissue engineering, diagnostics, regenerative medicine and biomaterial research.

Controlling the reversibility, quantity, and extent of biomolecule interaction at interfaces has a significant relevance for biomedical and biotechnological applications, because protein adsorption is always the first step when a solid surface gets in contact with a biological fluid. Polymerbrushes, composed of end-tethered linear polymers with sufficient grafting density, are very promising to control and alter interactions with biological systems because of their unique structure and distinct collaborative response to environmental changes. We studied protein adsorption and cell adhesion at polymer brush substrates which consisted of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm), having a lower critical solution temperature (LCST), to control bioadsorptive processes by changing the environmental temperature. Preparing the PNIPAAm brushes by the "grafting-to"-method two differently synthesized PNIPAAm polymers were used, at which one possessed an additional hydrophobic terminal headgroup. It is known that hydrophobic moieties can influence protein adsorption significantly. The films were comprehensively analyzed by in situ spectroscopic ellipsometry, contact angle measurements, streaming potential, and atomic force microscopy. Our study was mainly focused on the investigation of the fibrinogen (FGN) adsorption responsiveness both on homo polymer PNIPAAm brushes with and without the hydrophobic terminal functionalization, and further on binary brushes made of the polyelectrolyte poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and one of the prior described two PNIPAAm species. The results show that the terminal hydrophobic modification of PNIPAAm has a considerable impact on wettability, LCST, and morphology of the homo and the binary brush systems, which consequently led to an alteration of FGN adsorption. By using binary PNIPAAm-PAA brushes with different composition it was possible to induce stimuli dependent FGN adsorption with a considerable amplified switching effect by introducing a hydrophobic terminal residue to PNIPAAm. Cell adhesion studies with human mesenchymal stem cells reflected the results of the FGN adsorption.

What We Get Wrong about Valentine's Day
January 8, 2018 | Jayson D. Bradley
In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, he makes a rather remarkable comment: "To the unmarried and the widows I say that it is good for them to remain single, as I am" (1 Cor.7:8). He desires that people would focus their time and energy on building the Kingdom.
But the way churches prioritize marriage and coupling, you'd think that he said the exact opposite.
The church places so much emphasis on marriage and family that many single people feel out of place, and that singleness is a condition to be remedied. Church small groups and social gatherings often revolve around couples, and churches probably teach about marriage 20 times for every mention of singleness.
So, how do you handle Valentine's Day in a way that honors singles and doesn't exclude them? Well, first of all, you have to ask yourself if St. Valentine's Day is a holiday that needs to be recognized at all. If it is—and many would suggest that its Christian roots make it extremely relevant—maybe it's helpful to stick to the actual story.
The Story of St. Valentine's Day
Claudius the Cruel was a third-century Roman emperor with enormous political and military aspirations. Unfortunately, he couldn't get his armies to be as enthusiastic about his military campaigns as he was.
He eventually saw the apathy of the soldiers as a problem with families. Because the married people in the military worried about what would happen to their loved ones if they were to die, they weren't as valiant as they should be. Claudius' response was to make marriage among young people illegal.
Obviously, the Christian church saw the idea of marriage much differently. And a priest named St. Valentine took it upon himself to marry young couples in secret church ceremonies. After hundreds of such wedding ceremonies, authorities caught and imprisoned St. Valentine. When they finally dragged him before the court, the order was given that he should be beaten to death with clubs and decapitated.
Legend has it that he became close friends with the blind daughter of one of his jailers—a man named Asterius. It's said that his prayers healed her and Asterius eventually became a Christian. The story also suggests that he signed the last letter he wrote to her before being put to death, "From your Valentine."
What Valentine's Day Should Mean
The world has latched on to St. Valentine's Day as a celebration of romance, to be observed with Hallmark cards, chocolates, and flowers. But the story has a point that is so much more profound than any celebration of relationship.
St. Valentine was an uncoupled priest who took a personal stand against the Roman empire. He took advantage of his small area of influence and stood up for his convictions. His example is one that we (married or single) could all benefit from recognizing. There comes a time when we need to stand by our convictions, even in the face of opposition and suffering.
If you feel the need to recognize St. Valentine's Day, don't use it as an opportunity to talk about marriage or to hold events like couples banquets. Find the common thread that runs through the story that everyone, regardless of marital status or station, can remember and celebrate!

You've done everything in your power to pick the safest, most comfortable nursing home for your elderly loved one. After thorough research and multiple tours, you hope you've picked the right facility, and they seem happy so far. But you wouldn't be remiss if you still felt a nagging concern that something might still go wrong.
This is an understandable worry. With record numbers of seniors needing late-life care, the elder care industry is getting stretched thin, and many assisted living facilities are struggling to hire enough qualified staff to provide the care residents need. Unfortunately, many are failing to meet their staffing goals and are resorting to unqualified employees or making do with a reduced staff, putting residents at risk for abuse and neglect.
We at Levin & Perconti are aware of the demands on Illinois nursing homes and the consequences when they cannot meet those demands. That's why we help families like yours research the best assisted living facilities so you can pick a safe one for your senior family members. We share information taken from public records about nursing home ratings, so you have quick access to that information for your own awareness. And then if something does happen to your loved one, we also have the expertise to help you take legal action. Read on for information about Alden Estates of Skokie and what you can do to protect your nursing home resident.
Alden Estates of Skokie is a small rehabilitation facility with 56 beds. It specializes in short-term rehabilitation, transitional care, and post-acute services in luxurious accommodations.
Medicare awarded Alden Estates of Skokie an overall rating of Much Above Average. This excellent rating includes a Much Above Average rating for quality measures, Above Average staffing rating, and an impressive Much Above Average health inspection rating.
This impressive health inspection rating is due to the fact that no health deficiencies have been found at the facility since before 2017, nor have there been any complaints filed during this time.
It might be impossible for an elderly resident to recognize or report abuse and neglect, so it's up to you to help protect them. Start by doing your due diligence in picking a highly rated nursing home with few complaints or health infractions. You can find these ratings on medicare.gov or read reviews from other residents and families online.
Nursing homes should offer tours of their facilities for prospective residents and their families. Tour multiple facilities and stop in unannounced at the ones you like best to see how things appear when there isn't a carefully planned tour.
If you see any sign of mistreatment, do not be afraid to question staff in the moment about their policies and protocols. Document anything you find wrong and take your findings to the facility management. They should be willing to listen to you and make changes to prevent future issues. However, if they respond dismissively or defensively and fail to take action, it may be time to seek legal help.
With our experience and expertise in elder care and personal injury law, the attorneys at Levin & Perconti are prepared to take on any elder abuse case in Illinois. We've won verdicts and settlements for hundreds of families like yours and are prepared to do the same for you. If you're ready to explore your options for recourse against an Illinois assisted living facility, click or call Levin & Perconti at 888-424-5757. We take calls at all hours of the day or night.

Q: If your regression model is not over-fitting, would using regularization give better prediction? I was building a OLS model. The RMSE was not very satisfactory. So I tried feature engineering and the result improved and there was no over-fitting. To, further improve the results I thought of trying Ridge regression, but there was no significant improvement.
So, my question is - Do regularization techniques work towards improving the predictability ONLY by reducing variance? If your regression model does not have high variance then using regularization will not help?

A: Very good question. Let me break down the answer in two parts.

If your regression model does not have high variance then using regularization will not help?

As you have empirically found out, it won't necessarily help. A simple linear model with a healthy (i.e. large) number of samples per dimension is already simple enough, so regularisation is not guaranteed to improve results.
I guess the answer to the question also depends on what you are building your model for. In statistics you typically have a reason for fitting a particular model with a particular set of variables, and regularisation can be sometimes unnecessary and sometimes even undesirable. In machine learning, in contrast, the common wisdom is that you should:

*

*Make your model complex enough so that it overfits; and

*Then add regularisation so that it doesn't overfit.

So, if you're only looking for a better MSE (as I understand from the first line in your question) then follow the machine learning approach: make a bigger model and then regularise it.

Do regularization techniques work towards improving the predictability ONLY by reducing variance?

The short answer is no. Regularisation works in various ways, more mysterious the more complex your model is. This is because a regularisation term can interfere with your optimisation or model selection algorithms, so saying it acts "ONLY by reducing variance" is overly simplistic.
Overall, let me emphasise that regularisation is mostly an ad-hoc process, and therefore never guaranteed to work -- although it is always worth trying. There are cases (especially with bigger models) in which even if your model doesn't overfit you still get better performance with a carefully tuned regulariser.

Greg A. Bedard
Sean McAdam
Brian Robb
Jessica Flynn, M.D.
SEAN McADAM was born in Chelmsford, MA and has lived in New England his entire life. He currently lives in Littleton, MA.
Education: Sean graduated from Chelmsford High School and is a member of the Chelmsford High Hall of Fame. He attended Providence College, from where he graduated with a B.A. in political science. While at PC, he worked at the campus radio station, WDOM.
Career: Sean's first job came at WEAN Radio in Providence, where he served as a producer, anchor, reporter and occasional talk show host. In 1985, he went to work at The Providence Journal, where, for the first four years, he covered high school sports, the Bruins and Patriots and wrote a media column. In 1989, he was put on the Red Sox beat, where he remained until he left the Journal in 2008. During his time at the Journal, he established himself as one of the premier baseball writers in New England, gaining further exposure on The Score (a sports talk station in Providence), WEEI Radio in Boston, BZ-TV/Channel 4 in Boston. He also became a regular contributor to ESPN.com, writing weekly columns for a period of a dozen years. During his career at the Journal, he was twice named Rhode Island Sportswriter of the Year.
In 2008, Sean left the Journal to go to the Boston Herald. He began contributing to Fox Sports as a weekly columnist. In 2009, he was joined Comcast SportsNet New England, where he worked from 2009 through the end of 2016. He now is a frequent contributor to 98.5/The Sports Hub in Boston.
Personal: Sean lives in Littleton, MA., with his wife, Sue. He is the proud father of Elizabeth Aliano and Conor McAdam, and proud stepfather to Amanda Nawoichik and Leah Nawoichik. His passions include music, reading, travel and family.
Getting to know Sean...
Fondest sports memory growing up: Attending his first Red Sox game, with his father, during the magical 1967 Impossible Dream season. Two years later, attending his first Bruins game, also with his father, during the Stanley Cup season of 1969-70.
Sports memory you'd like a mulligan on: In the span of one academic year while at Providence College, the Red Sox lost to the Yankees in the infamous Bucky Dent playoff game, and, seven months later, the Bruins lost to the Canadiens in the Forum, thanks to the infamous too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty. That was a miserable year.
The snapshot moment you love as a reporter: In general, the informality of batting practice, with the ability to talk to players and coaches before a game. In specificity, the feeling that comes with knowing you have a story that no one else has – nothing beats that rush of adrenaline.
Favorite Boston sports moment you witnessed: Covering the 2004 post-season as the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. A close second would be covering Super Bowl XXXVI in New Orleans, where the Patriots won their first Super Bowl.
On a rare day off, you'll find him: On the beach in Ogunquit ME; attending a concert; traveling to the New York/New Jersey area to visit his son and/or daughter.

What's The Big Deal? TEST2
As the Sesame Street video reminds us, we begin to learn about and make sense of the world using simple processes such as comparison of objects. We continue to do this in different ways. As the two pictures at the top of the page suggest, there are both scientific and religious ways to do this. While science and religion use various ways to understand the world, these can be generally categorized as the scientific method and the theological method. Let's take a look at each one.
The scientific method is probably one that you remember from grade school where you where taught to perform an experiment. It's important to remember scientific discovery isn't fixed, or always stays the same. As Dr. Grace Wolf-Chase, Astronomer, Adler Planetarium shared with this author:
In science, it's about the weight of evidence (kind of like investigating a crime scene to determine someone's guilt "beyond a shadow of a doubt.") Scientific theories can be disproven (maybe discredited is a better term), but those that have enormous support (like biological evolution) are far more likely to need "tweaking" or "adjusting" rather than abandoning.
The idea is that a scientific theory is more than a hypothesis that has undergone repeated testing. For one thing (1) a scientific theory has to make useful predictions that can be subsequently tested, and (2) it has to be consistent with what we know from other areas of science (for example, if geological evidence of the age of the Earth is inconsistent with what we understand about the age of the Universe or the timescale of biological evolution, then we have a problem – however, these timescales are in very good agreement with each other, even though the methods and tools used to explore these questions in these different fields of science are different.)
The steps to following the scientific method can be thought of as follows in the link below:
The Theological Method
For theology, there is also data but not the kind that you can test and observe with an experiment. This data comes in the form of experience, observation, stories, rituals, divine revelation, and Scripture. As the picture at the top of the page suggests, one definition of revelation is God's attempt to connect to humankind. Each religion, or belief system, has a way of defining revelation. Below are a few, but not all, of the ways that different religions generally understand revelation:
MUSLIMS
As with Christianity, there are other religions with scripture that serve as a source of revelation. For Muslims the word of God was revealed to Muhammad, which was collected and recorded in the Qur'an. Muslims believe that Jesus is a Prophet of God who has revealed messages from God, but is not a revelation of God. Click on the link below to read more about how Muslims view revelation and prophets:
ORTHODOX JEWS
For Orthodox Jews it is taught that, "God personally and decisively revealed himself in giving the Torah at Sinai," and the words of the Torah are, "The changeless revelation of God's eternal will."2
More modern or reformed Jewish ways of understanding revelation use reason and experience to "establish the relevance or truth of a proposition."3
BUDDHISTS
For Buddhists the understanding of revelation is not linked to a traditional form of scripture. Here is an explanation of this understanding:
"In Buddhism there are no divine revelations or divine messengers. A Buddhist is, therefore, not subservient to any higher supernatural power which controls his destinies and which arbitrarily rewards and punishes. Since Buddhists do not believe in revelations of a divine being Buddhism does not claim the monopoly of truth and does not condemn any other religion."
In other words, Buddhism does not believe in a divine being that reveals itself to us.

The religious experience of a revelation or encounter with a divine being or power can happen in many different ways and for people of different belief systems. As noted above, it can include participation in rituals, hearing or reading stories or scripture, or observing the natural world.
So now that we have looked at some of the scientific and theological methods of knowing about the world, we can see that each has its own way of seeking information. So what is the big deal?

Shane Duffy might've won man of the match on his first Premier League start at Goodison Park but the Everton defender believes the Merseysiders must improve their home form.
The 20-year-old from Derry had a fine game at the heart of the defence during Saturday's 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers but thought Everton should've held on to win. Tim Cahill scored his first goal in over a year to give the Toffees the lead in controversial circumstances after it appeared as though Marouane Fellaini had used his hand before David Goodwillie bundled an untidy equaliser in the second half.
Everton have won just three of their 11 home fixtures in the Premier League this term but have an opportunity to make it to the fifth round of the FA Cup when they take on Fulham on Friday night.
Duffy has found himself catapulted into the first-team picture at Goodison recently, with Phil Jagielka and Sylvain Distin both sidelined by injury. The Republic of Ireland U-21 international enjoyed a fruitful loan spell at League One outfit Scunthorpe United earlier this season, and Duffy admits the experience has helped his development as a player.
"It definitely helped me," he said. "It just gives you confidence really to go out and play. You feel you are improving each week, and coming back and playing with better players around you, it makes it a lot easier.

El Salmo 133 (132, en la numeración septuaginta), también conocido por su título en latín Ecce quam bonum, es uno de los 15 salmos que en hebreo comienzan con la frase "Shir Hamaalot" (שיר המעלות), traducida al español como "Cántico gradual" (Reina Valera) o "Canción de las subidas" (Biblia de Jerusalén). Según la tradición judía, dichos salmos los recitaban los Levitas en el Templo de Jerusalén o los peregrinos que llegaban a Jerusalén. Entre los cánticos graduales, el Salmo 133 es uno de los tres que cuentan con solo tres versos: los otros dos son el Salmo 131 (130, en la numeración septuaginta) y el Salmo 134 (133, en la numeración septuaginta). Tiene solo un verso más que el más breve de los salmos, el Salmo 117 (116).

Keeping the cyber-wolves at bay
Published in Australian Anthill Magazine, Dec 2008/Jan 2009
You probably cannot remember the last time you awoke to an inbox filled with messages titled, "I love you." Emails that, when opened, sent copies of themselves to everyone in your address book. The last mass virus outbreak to affect your system is probably nothing more than a distant memory. Yet threats to digital information security have never been so severe.
Remember when antivirus companies would go to "Red Alert" and the media would be flooded with warnings of what not to click on? A virus or worm would be making its way around the world, leaving in its wake network after network crippled by the sheer traffic volumes it consumed throughout its journey. These resultant outbreaks were the handy work of ad hoc amateur programmers chasing nothing more than notoriety or their dream security firm job once their infinite cleverness was proven to the world.
Today there is none of that. Today there is silence. On the surface it would appear that the good guys have won, defeating the evil virus writers. This, in fact, could not be further from the truth. All that this lack of visible activity serves to achieve is to lull computer users into a dangerously false sense of security. The harsh reality is that information assets are under siege from well-organised, well-funded groups of individuals who have the mechanisms to make substantial profits from your data.
Yesterday's annoying virus outbreaks have evolved into sophisticated mechanisms designed to circumvent the best defences and infiltrate the most secure networks. No longer do you need to be tricked into clicking on a cool sounding email attachment for your computer to become infected with an unauthorised piece of software. The very act of surfing to your favourite website may be all that it takes to turn your computer into your business's worst nightmare.
Just imagine that your computer, with all the data that it stores and all the access to your network that it has, was under the total control of an unknown party outside your organisation. Unfortunately, there is no need to imagine too hard. The scenario I just described is typical of modern security breaches. If you are lucky, your computer, along with the internet bandwidth it has at its disposal, will only be used to pump out countless quantities of email proclaiming miraculous breakthroughs in the field of bodypart enhancement. Those less fortunate find that the contents of their networks are now being sold off to the highest bidder on the black market.
Information is only confidential until it is not. There are no second chances. There is no upgrading security and trying again.
Virus outbreaks of yesteryear saw IT staff endure one or two sleepless nights unclogging email servers and deleting infected files. Business quickly returned to normal and the disruption was relegated to a water-cooler anecdote. Try returning to normal following the financial impact of a lawsuit filed by a credit card issuer reclaiming fraud damages caused by disclosure of credit card information stolen from your servers. Try returning to normal from the leak of a pre-patented innovation on which the future of your business hinges. The risks of today's security threats are just too serious to ignore. The financial impact alone of a significant breach can see a business sent to the wall, with years of research and your life savings evaporating instantly. Lives may even be at stake if the information lost is of a sensitive personal nature or critical infrastructure is under computer control.
Your business will most likely never be the focus of a targeted attack. Modern breaches are opportunistic and are based on sophisticated technologies. A wide net is generally cast and if you become a victim, you may not find out for a significant period of time. Today's 'Trojan Horse' applications lay silent within computer systems, awaiting commands from their controllers. They can operate independently, siphoning information out of your network, or in teams called 'botnets', which can be used to perpetrate other criminal activity, such as hacking other networks. Cyber warfare has been known to involve botnets of several hundred thousand computers, sometimes disconnecting whole countries from the internet. If traced, this activity will lead authorities back to your network.
While I have painted quite a dark picture, there is light at the end of the tunnel. My advice to businesses is to look at the information that is stored within their systems and take time to understand its true value. Information is power, but it is also a double-edged sword. All too often, information is collected just because it is possible and easy to do so. Accessible collection technology and cheap storage serve to create a culture of "hoard now and find a use later" when it comes to data. To businesses, the asset value of large pools of information is widely known. However, the liability of its safe custody is seldom taken into account. If you are the custodian of private information, let's not mince words now. You have a responsibility to protect it, whether you know how or not.
Every additional byte of information in your custody, above and beyond that which is required for business operation, is a liability. It is something of value that needs to be secured. Just ask yourself, would you happily store a valuable piece of equipment in a warehouse that has no benefit to your business, knowing that if it were stolen you would be held responsible? Of course not. Then why would you do so with information? Some examples that immediately spring to mind: A sporting club that stores an image of each patron's driver's licence as they enter, or a retail outlet that has staff swipe their client's credit card through their point-of-sale terminal as well as the bank-issued EFTPOS machine. When capturing information, consider first whether it will add to business value or serve only to paint a target on your systems.
Small businesses thrive on close-knit teams of people, which breeds familiarity. This, in turn, often encourages a cavalier approach to the use of technology. While this may seem to be contributing to an open and relaxed workplace, the door may be opening for a data breach to take place. Seldom do small companies have the expertise of specialist security personnel on hand. The growth in the use of technology is often dynamic and fuelled by the necessity to provide services, ensuring that security often takes a back seat. Take the time to seek professional advice and set up a framework that will see the risk to your hard-earned business assets properly mitigated.
The information age has allowed us to communicate and do business in ways that were unimaginable thirty years ago. With consideration for the true power at our finger tips, and by valuing the privilege entrusted to us, we can all work together and create a world safe for exchanging digital information.

Durbin, Blumenthal and Senate Colleagues Urge U.S. Chamber to Cease Efforts to Undermine Anti-Smoking Public-Health Measures
Reports identified U.S. Chamber of Commerce's international lobbying efforts to defeat tobacco regulations
[WASHINGTON, D.C.] – Today, U.S. Senators Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) led a letter with their colleagues U.S. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Jack Reed (D-RI), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Al Franken (D-MN), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Jeff Merkley (D-OR) urging the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to reconsider and refocus its efforts away from undermining global anti-smoking measures. Following reports of the Chamber's lobbying to defeat anti-smoking regulations across the globe, the Senators wrote to Chamber President Tom Donahue citing the severe risk their efforts pose to worldwide public health and condemned the Chamber for using its name and power to stymie countries' efforts to enforce life-saving tobacco restrictions.
"The Chamber's actions to undermine public-health measures directed at reducing the death and disease caused by tobacco products are a serious threat to people around the world," the Senators wrote. "We urge you to reconsider and to refocus your efforts in a more positive direction."
"For the Chamber to use its international clout to fight so ardently against regulations of dangerous tobacco products is contrary to United States foreign policy and global health goals. As CVS Health has shown, protecting public health is good business, and the Chamber's actions are antithetical to good corporate citizenship. Countries seeking to preserve the health and safety of their citizens and reduce tobacco-related deaths should not be stymied or intimidated by an outside lobbying force – especially one that represents many American businesses."
"Your response to The New York Times report – stating that the Chamber simply seeks to 'uphold intellectual property rights, adhere to international commitments, and promulgate rules that are sensible and effective' – provides scant comfort to the governments or populations that have been negatively impacted by the Chamber's pro-tobacco advocacy. Policies such as plain-packaging requirements, graphic warnings, excise taxes, and other proven means of reducing tobacco-related deaths and illnesses should be allowed to proceed without interference from the Chamber. In light of tobacco's well-documented and destructive effects, your assertions that these public-health measures should be combated because they somehow 'undermine trademarks or brands' are simply unfounded."
Full text of the letter can be viewed here and below:
Dear President Donohue:
As United States Senators who have long fought to protect the health of our constituents, we were greatly disturbed to read in a recent New York Times article that your organization has been engaged in a global campaign to thwart critical health efforts to curb tobacco use. In light of the recent decision by CVS Health to end its membership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, we urge you to reconsider the Chamber's advocacy on behalf of the tobacco industry. For the Chamber to use its international clout to fight so ardently against regulations of dangerous tobacco products is contrary to United States foreign policy and global health goals. As CVS Health has shown, protecting public health is good business, and the Chamber's actions are antithetical to good corporate citizenship.
Countries seeking to preserve the health and safety of their citizens and reduce tobacco-related deaths should not be stymied or intimidated by an outside lobbying force – especially one that represents many American businesses. Indeed, Chamber member companies should be concerned that their good names and the international business climate are being damaged because of your organization's efforts. In particular, your hospital and health-insurer members should be alarmed that the Chamber's advocacy could undermine their goals and worsen the health of millions. We are pleased to see that CVS Health has withdrawn its membership in the Chamber continuing its leadership in showing that protecting public health is good business.
Your response to the New York Times report – stating that the Chamber simply seeks to "uphold intellectual property rights, adhere to international commitments, and promulgate rules that are sensible and effective" – provides scant comfort to the governments or populations that have been negatively impacted by the Chamber's pro-tobacco advocacy. Policies such as plain-packaging requirements, graphic warnings, excise taxes, and other proven means of reducing tobacco-related deaths and illnesses should be allowed to proceed without interference from the Chamber. In light of tobacco's well-documented and destructive effects, your assertions that these public-health measures should be combated because they somehow "undermine trademarks or brands" are simply unfounded.
The Chamber's actions to undermine public-health measures directed at reducing the death and disease caused by tobacco products are a serious threat to people around the world. We urge you to reconsider and to refocus your efforts in a more positive direction.


I have been known to say (more than once), if I could afford it I would be a professional student. I love learning. I desire to know things, to make sense of things, to figure it all out. But trying to figure it all out, all of the time, is exhausting.
It was an early morning. I was spending time in God's Word before leaving for class (I was in the midst of yet another educational pursuit). I read this verse and it stopped me short. The gravity of it relative to my current situation was shocking. Was I running hard after the knowledge of this world, all the while missing true knowledge? Was I looking for something where it could never be found, actually where it never resided in the first place…things I could never figure out on my own? How could I be so off course when God had so much more for me, and not even realize it?
If my goal is my own knowledge, then I am stopping sort of God's purpose. After all, it's not about me at all. And in making "it" all about me, I am cheating myself as well as others.
Let's get the context of Jeremiah 33:3: The prophet Jeremiah is sitting in jail. His city, Jerusalem, is under siege, being taken captive by the mighty Babylonian army. But in Jeremiahs's character, He is praying. In chapter 32, God reveals an opportunity to purchase a piece of property, and instructs Jeremiah to make the purchase.
Now from a practical standpoint this makes absolutely no sense. The city is a war zone. Why would he, at this point in time, buy land that would only be taken from him? Wouldn't it be a waste of his time and money? I can imagine that Jeremiah might have wanted more information from God, to understand the whole plan, or at least the next few steps. If it were me, I would certainly have wanted to figure it all out. But if Jeremiah had questions, the text doesn't seem to suggest He felt obliged to ask more of God. He immediately obeys. He takes the first step, the only step we see revealed at this point, and proceeds with the transaction.
But soon more of the picture emerges. In Jeremiah 32:14-15 we hear the prophet commanding the property deeds be stored in a jar, "to preserve them for a long time", because the Lord said "Someday people will again own property here in this land and will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields." Ah. Now we're starting to get somewhere, figuring things out. Oh, but it's not about my comfort or my figuring things out, right?
Jeremiah continues praising God's great power, recounting the mighty things God has done for the Israelites. God continues reaffirming His power while pointing out Israel's disobedience. And as we are flinching from the sting of Israel's repeated disobedience and God's justified discipline, verse 37 begins a comforting turn. God promises that just as He brought disaster, He will also bring good (Jeremiah 32:42). God promises to bring His people back. He is faithful. His discipline is perfect, and purposeful. Whew!
Though God loves us and wants to bring us comfort, He has a greater purpose than the comfort of His people. In chapter 33 we see the Word of the Lord come again to Jeremiah, as he still sits in jail.
Next, God commands Jeremiah to call to Him (Jeremiah 33:3). The Hebrew word qara, translated here as call also means to invite, and to give name. Isn't that interesting? God commands us to invite Him, to call on His name, through our own free will. It is our choice to call upon Him or ignore Him. But considering He just laid the groundwork for His sovereignty, and reminded us of His greatness as well as His discipline, I would think we might get the point that it is for our good.
Thirdly, God declares restoration. In Jeremiah 33:6-8 God specifically lays out His promises to heal His people, reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth, restore and rebuild their fortunes, and cleanse them from their sin.
Oh, precious friend don't miss verse 9! It's not about us and that is such good news! We have a purpose beyond ourselves, beyond increasing our own knowledge, beyond our own comfort. We have an eternal purpose, set aside by the Creator of the universe, to make His Great Name known to the world! We get to use our comfort, our knowledge, our lives to join others in knowing our awesome God.
Today I challenge you to begin with reminding yourself of God's Greatness by praising Him in prayer. Continue to call on the Lord through inviting Him into your moment-by-moment thoughts and decisions. Rejoice in His promises, His faithfulness, His comfort, His knowledge, His goodness. But don't stop there! Fulfill your purpose today by engaging in God-orchestrated opportunities to point our dark world toward His light.


This is certainly a breath of fresh air. I graduated from the Melbourne University Law School in 1963 and during my time was taught by a number of internationally renowned scholars. My favourite class at the time was Jurisprudence run by Sir David Derham who brought several scholars to our classes including Lon Fuller and Julius Stone. Constitutional law was run by Zelman Cowan later to become Governor General of Australia. Without exception the faculty was extraordinary and their interests and experiences broad: a number were fluent in Greek and Latin and well versed in the history of English law. They were graduates of Oxford or Harvard. Reference to cases in the US were common and many of us probably had a good grasp of US Federal law to the extent I recall many years later a colleague during a trip to Washington being rather horrified that on some aspect of law there, I knew the answer and he did not. I thought on reflection that was to do with the kind of education he had received – rather specialised with little general understanding of the underpinning of the Constitution.
I think your project sound and teaching a core of thinkers as you mention will do much to raise the level of understanding of all who undertake it.


It was just a little lie. But mishap follows mishap until Wally is chased by bungling terrorist, a SWAT team, the TV news, and the National Guard. It isn't until he risks his life to save his country (and has a little chat with the President along the way) that the madcap misunderstanding finally end... And Wally learns that honesty really is the best policy.

The Cancer Program at University Medical Center of Princeton (UMCP) has earned its second consecutive Outstanding Achievement Award, an honor presented by the Commission on Cancer (CoC) to recognize programs that strive for excellence in treating patients with cancer.
UMCP was among 75 hospitals and cancer centers nationwide to earn 2014 Outstanding Achievement Awards, which were announced by the CoC this month. The honorees represent 15 percent of the cancer programs surveyed in 2014.
The CoC, part of the American College of Surgeons, accredits more than 1,500 cancer programs in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Accreditation surveys are conducted every three years.
"This is a remarkable achievement for our Cancer Program and a clear message to our patients that they can get outstanding care right here," said James Demetriades, Vice President, Operations, for Princeton HealthCare System. "Our staff and a team of specialists—including surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists—collaborate to determine an appropriate treatment plan for each individual. Patients have access to clinical trials, state-of-the-art technology and services such as an oncology nurse navigator who works with patients and their families to better understand their diagnosis as well as the treatment options and supports available to them."
UMCP earned the Outstanding Achievement Award by attaining the best possible results on last year's accreditation survey. The Cancer Program met or exceeded all applicable quality care standards and earned seven of a possible seven commendations. UMCP also received a 2011 Outstanding Achievement Award, following its previous survey. Only 32 cancer programs nationwide earned the award in both years.
The Cancer Program at UMCP is advised by a committee that includes program staff, PHCS leadership, representatives of community partners and staff members or managers from many different clinical and non-clinical departments at PHCS, such as Rehabilitation, Case Management, Social Work, Pharmacy, Nutrition, Nursing Education, Community Education & Outreach, Marketing and the PHCS Foundation. Twelve physicians serve on the committee representing various disciplines, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology, palliative medicine, pathology and several surgical specialties.
