Former Spy Warns of Cyber Terrorism in Booz Allen Role
From a wall-mounted video monitor at the International Spy Museum in Washington, former U.S. spy chief Mike McConnell warns about the perils of terrorists hacking into computer systems.
A cyber attack on a major bank network or utility grid "could have pretty terrible consequences," he says in the video, echoing advice he has shared with the last three U.S. presidents.
McConnell, 67, is a former Navy vice admiral who ran the National Security Agency in the mid-1990s and served as director of national intelligence under George W. Bush. In 2009, he took his decades of experience to the private sector for a second stint at Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. (BAH), where he is an executive vice president charged with expanding the government contractor's intelligence business, including cybersecurity.
As a private-sector executive, McConnell hasn't changed his message, whether delivered to tourists in a video's continuous loop or in testimony before Congress. If a cyberwar broke out, the U.S. would lose, he said at a February 2010 hearing of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Underscoring McConnell's warnings, Booz Allen yesterday said it recently was hit by a hacker attack itself, exposing files from one of its systems.
"I'm a code breaker, an intel guy, a spy at the National Security Agency, so I understand what our vulnerabilities are," McConnell said in an interview with Bloomberg Government. "A relatively small group of terrorists could get in and penetrate this soft underbelly."
'Threat Exaggeration'
Such rhetoric has provoked criticism that McConnell is inflating the risk of attack to further Booz Allen's interests.
"That kind of talk is irresponsible -- it's classic threat exaggeration," said Jim Harper, a cybersecurity specialist at the Cato Institute in Washington, which promotes limited government. "McConnell is trying to move policy in the direction that benefits him, trying to motivate Congress and the American public to take action when there's no actual war."
McConnell stands by his remark at last year's Senate hearing and says he made it to illustrate a point.
"My worry is we're going to talk about it and not act," he said. "What galvanizes this nation to act is crisis."
The computer-security debate in Washington has intensified after hacking incidents at Lockheed Martin Corp. (LMT) and Google Inc. (GOOG) Spurred by those and other recent assaults, Senate lawmakers are drafting legislation to boost protections for government and private-sector networks.
Booz Allen Hacked
Booz Allen said yesterday that some of its files were posted on the Internet after an attack on an information- technology system. The data pertained "to a learning management system for a government agency," the company said in a news release without naming the U.S. agency.
"Admiral McConnell must be very upset about this," Richard Falkenrath, a principal at Chertoff Group, a Washington- based security advisory firm, said today in an interview on Bloomberg Television. "He was really one of the early evangelists of cybersecurity. He was the first senior official in the U.S. government to really push this." Falkenrath is a contributing editor at Bloomberg Television.
Booz Allen declined today to make McConnell available to comment on the attack. An online activist group called Anonymous claimed on July 11 that it stole thousands of military passwords from Booz Allen, the Associated Press reported yesterday. The company is conducting a full review of the incident and doesn't believe the attack affected other data, its statement said.
Obama Briefing
Last month, the Obama administration offered its recommendations for cybersecurity legislation, urging wider disclosure of data breaches and tighter oversight of companies deemed vital to the U.S. economy. McConnell briefed then- candidate Barack Obama on the issue in September 2008, and Obama ordered a 60-day cybersecurity review shortly after taking office, declaring the initiative a national priority.
As the government moves on cybersecurity, Booz Allen is competing with other contractors, including Arlington, Virginia- based CACI International Inc. (CACI), the second-largest provider of information-technology services to the Defense Department, and New York-based L-3 Communications Holdings Inc. (LLL)
Founded in 1914 as a management-consulting firm, Booz Allen has evolved into one of the largest providers of technology and personnel to U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. In July 2008, Washington-based Carlyle Group, the world's second-largest private-equity firm, purchased the company's government-services unit for $2.54 billion.
Sales Growth
Carlyle took the unit public in November as Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. in an offering that raised $238 million while keeping a 71 percent stake. Booz Allen's shares closed at $19.87 today, up 17 percent from the IPO price of $17.00.
The intelligence business that McConnell runs accounted for $1.2 billion, or 22 percent of Booz Allen's $5.6 billion in revenue in the fiscal year that ended March 31, according to a regulatory filing. About 97 percent of the McLean, Virginia- based company's sales are to the U.S. government.
McConnell's business unit is driving sales growth at Booz Allen, said Michael Lewis, an analyst at Lazard Capital Markets LLC who has a target price of $24 on the stock and rates the shares as a "buy."
The company is poised to profit as agencies and private businesses look to thwart hackers, Lewis said in an interview. He said he expects Booz Allen's sales to grow about 10 percent annually, with its cyber business expanding 15 percent a year.
'Senior Statesman'
In April, Booz Allen won a contract worth as much as $189.4 million to support Navy cybersecurity efforts, following deals last year to help build a Pentagon cyberwar command center and strengthen Air Force network defenses.
"With regard to their cyber business, they have a very strong position within the National Security Agency, and Mr. McConnell has been very instrumental in that," Lewis said. "Mr. McConnell has built Booz Allen's cyber business and will now leverage his expertise as the company expands into the commercial sector."
In fiscal year 2010, McConnell received $4.1 million in compensation, according to a company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
"In many ways Admiral McConnell can be more influential in supporting the intelligence community now than when he was in office," Ellen McCarthy, president of the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, a group of industry and public sector members that promotes national-security issues, said in an interview. "He's not constrained by the bureaucracy, and is viewed as a senior statesman operating in an advisory capacity."
Navy Service
McConnell, who is fond of swing-dancing and collecting Irish antiques, was born and raised in Greenville, South Carolina, where his textile worker father advocated for organized labor and civil rights. McConnell received an economics degree from Furman University in his hometown and volunteered for Navy service after his 1966 graduation.
During his 29 years in the Navy, he rose through the ranks to serve as an adviser to General Colin Powell, who chaired the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the first Gulf War.
In 1992, President George H.W. Bush tapped McConnell to lead the National Security Agency, which uses some of the world's most powerful computers to conduct surveillance. McConnell ran the NSA through early 1996, when he retired from the Navy as a vice admiral and left the agency to join Booz Allen, where he worked for the next 11 years.
Eavesdropping Authority
McConnell rejoined the government in February 2007, when he was named director of national intelligence by President George W. Bush. The position was created by Congress in 2004 to coordinate information-sharing by the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies and prevent a repeat of the communications breakdowns that preceded the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
As Bush's intelligence chief, McConnell led administration lobbying for legislation to boost U.S. eavesdropping authority. The bill, approved by lawmakers in July 2008, included a provision ending more than 40 lawsuits that accused phone companies of violating customer privacy by aiding government wiretaps of suspected terrorists.
Privacy groups including the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation assailed the bill. The EFF sued the NSA in September 2008, saying the increased eavesdropping powers granted by the measure were unconstitutional.
"The entire premise of the legislation was inappropriate," said Kevin Bankston, a senior staff attorney at EFF. "We're still grappling with the legacy that Mike McConnell has left and that is a legacy of mass surveillance that impacts the privacy of every American that uses that technology."
Security 'Foresight'
McConnell says national security trumps personal freedom when it comes to protecting the electric grid, financial networks and other critical infrastructure from cyber attacks.
"Many people worry about this issue as a civil liberties and privacy debate," he said. "Here's the fundamental thing that most people just don't understand: We all ride the same physical infrastructure."
The International Spy Museum, which has drawn 6 million visitors since its 2002 opening, asked McConnell in 2009 to record videotaped remarks for an exhibit called "Weapons of Mass Disruption" on the risk of cyber attack.
In a series of clips, McConnell outlines his worst-case scenario for a network intrusion, which he says would result in "chaos," and likens the current lack of safeguards on the Internet to the "wild west of 1870."
When McConnell stepped down as director of national intelligence, many people thought he was being alarmist about cybersecurity, Pat Gorman, chief information security officer at Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and former chief information officer for the director of national intelligence, said in an interview.
"But looking back over the past two years, things have come out exactly as he has said," said Gorman, who has known McConnell for two decades and previously worked as an executive at Booz Allen. "The cyber game has changed, and Mike had the foresight to point that out in advance."

I am considering switching to Accordance and am using the Accordance 10 Demo.
How do I quickly see which commentaries and english tools have something to say about the current verse I am in, without having to go through and click on each individual module? (So I can avoid checking 20 commentaries when only 5 of them treat my passage)
Note: In the software I am accustomed to, I can see at a glance exactly which commentaries comment on the current verse, and I can see which English Tools reference a the current verse. (i.e. With John 1:5 selected, I can tell at a glance that 22 of my 35 commentaries comment on this verse, and that 10 of my 36 English tools reference this verse. Furthermore, I can see that "Nave's" references this verse under the headings, "Blindness," "Darkness," "Jesus, The Christ," "Light," and "Wisdom.")
This seems like such a basic, time-saving feature, but I have not been able to find it in Accordance.
Any Advice?

Amazon.co.uk restricts orders for Xbox 360
I can only have one? But I ordered 20!
Amazon.co.uk is restricting the number of Xbox 360 Consoles its punters can have to ensure that as many people can get hold of one in time for Christmas.
The new Xbox 360 is due to hit UK shops this Friday but reports suggest that only 300,000 consoles have made it to Europe.
Retailers have already warned that lack of supply will not meet the expected demand from gamers keen to get their hands on the latest kit. Some gamers were so eager to guarantee their supply they pre-ordered their console in the summer.
But in an email today Amazon.co.uk told them it would not honour multiple orders: "During this time of limited supply from the manufacturer, we want to ensure that as many of our customers as possible receive a console. Therefore, regretfully, we can only supply one Xbox 360 console per customer account at this time."
One downhearted fellow told us: "I pre-ordered three (one for me, two for presents) way back in August and now am told two days before launch that I am only getting one. I can see why they have done it; maximise the number of people they can make happy, but to be honest as I pre-ordered so early I am not really bothered that others didn't get in quick enough. Harsh I know but I think fair."
A spokesman for Amazon.co.uk said the restrictions only applied to the "enhanced" pack and that some people had placed orders of up to 20 consoles.
"We have to ensure that as many customers as possible can have an Xbox 360 for Christmas Day," he said. ®

More Than A Quarter Of Oracle's Employees Are Developers And Engineers
Henley described Oracle as "a big and growing company" with around 120,000 employees around the world. While its sales force is huge, " the heart of the company like Oracle is its developers," and about 35,000 of the company's work force is developers and engineers, Henley said during the meeting.
Oracle, which sells both software and hardware, plans to continue hiring developers and engineers, according to Henley. "The company has come a long way, and we are still going. We are still adding to those numbers each year," he said at the event.

Female fertility can be a mysterious business. No matter how carefully a woman tracks her ovulation or times her romantic encounters, there's no guarantee that a baby will be on the way.
Women who have trouble conceiving get lots of free advice: Relax, take a cruise, try different intercourse positions, etc. But could the solution lie in a supplement? Two companies promise to boost female fertility through blends of herbs, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
The ingredient list for FertilityBlend for Women, manufactured by Daily Wellness Inc., includes the herb chasteberry (Vitex agnus-castus) along with the amino acid L-arginine, green tea, B vitamins, vitamin E, folic acid, iron and zinc. Women are instructed to take three capsules daily for three to six months. A three-month supply costs $74.99 through the company website; a six-month supply can be had for $129.99.
FertilAid for Women, a supplement from Fairhaven Health, also contains chasteberry and every nutrient found in FertilityBlend except for L-arginine. It also throws in extras such as ginkgo, ginseng and vitamins C and D. Users are instructed to take three capsules a day for at least three months. The company's website sells a three-month supply for $77.95
FertilityBlend and FertilAid both offer different formulations for men.
The claims: FertilityBlend's website says the supplements have "helped hundreds of thousands of couples safely and naturally improve their fertility health." It also claims to be "clinically validated by a study done at Stanford University School of Medicine."
FertilAid's website says that supplement "promotes reproductive wellness, supports fertility and optimizes your chances to conceive." The site goes on to say that the product for women will "restore female hormonal balance" and "promote regular ovulation."
The bottom line: There's no doubt that good nutrition can help boost fertility, and there's also good reason to believe that fertility supplements could help some woman conceive, says Dr. Lynn Westphal, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Westphal was the lead author of a 2006 study of FertilityBlend. (A researcher with Daily Wellness co-authored the study, but Westphal herself has no ties to the company.) The study included 93 women who had previously tried to conceive for at least six months without success.
Fifty-three of the women took three capsules of FertilityBlend every day, and the rest took a placebo. After three months, 14 of the 53 women taking FertilityBlend had become pregnant, a success rate of 26%. Meanwhile four out of 40 -- only 10% -- of the women taking a placebo conceived.
The study also found that women who took FertilityBlend produced more progesterone, a hormone that encourages fertilization and prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
According to Westphal, FertilityBlend might be worth a try, especially for younger women with irregular periods. "You could take it in place of a prenatal vitamin," she says.
Still, the baby-making powers of fertility supplements are far from certain, says Cathi Dennehy, an associate professor in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy at the UC San Francisco School of Medicine. The FertilityBlend study was relatively small, she says, and there just isn't a whole lot of other evidence that it really does the job. And since there have been no published studies of FertilAid, its effectiveness is even more of an open question, she adds.
According to Dennehy, the extra vitamin C in FertilAid could theoretically be helpful for some women. At least one study has suggested that the antioxidant vitamin can improve fertility in women with luteal phase defect, a type of mistimed cycle that's a common cause of infertility.
Westphal suspects chasteberry is the key ingredient in FertilityBlend. European studies suggest that the herb can help encourage a baby-friendly blend of hormones without serious side effects.
Clearly, many couples will need more serious help than can ever come from a supplement, Westphal says. "Women who are over 35 and have been trying for at least six months should not try this in place of seeing a physician," she explains.
Somewhat surprisingly, the president of Daily Wellness, Denny Kwok, completely agrees. Women in their late 30s or 40s should definitely see a doctor before trying his product, he says. "It would be disingenuous of us to say that it works for everyone," he explains. "The clock is ticking, and we don't want anyone to miss their chance."

I used to be a Business Manager at Aramark Refreshment Services. I am not sure if all divisions of Aramark are the same so the following may not be applicable. As for Refreshment Services, if you are trying to get into any Management position, be prepared for a lot of screening. I went through 5 interviews, a background search, and 3 hours worth of psychological tests.

1. Jets go 4-2 in the AFCE, splitting with NE and (ugh) Miami.
2. Tim Tebow scores 10+ rushing TD's to lead all Jets.
3. Stephen Hill battles various injuries all season and is a non-factor.
I agree with many of the ones previously posted so I will go with three not mentioned so far:
1) LaRon Landry will play in every game this year
2) Demario Davis takes over for Bart Scott in the 2nd half of the season
3) Jordan White will return to the active roster and become Mark's favorite WR.
1. Jets go 4-2 in the AFCE, splitting with NE and (ugh) Miami.
2. Tim Tebow scores 10+ rushing TD's to lead all Jets.

I am not a Sanchez basher, but there is just no way he makes that big a leap considering the state of the OL and lack of weapons around him. The only number I see remotely possible is INTs, and only because a) Sparano is so conservative I can see Sanchez's attempts being way down, and b) there is a very good chance Sanchez gets benched at some point, again limiting his overall attempts.
Tebow scores more TD's than Holmes.
Jets go 2-4 in Division.
Rex and Sparano have a fistfight ala Buddy Ryan during ATLEAST one game this year, possibly more.
Here are mine:
1. Jets finish 8-8.
2. No one gets fired.
3. Jets make major offseason splash (maybe trading multiple players + picks for a franchise QB like Phil Rivers) restarting the cycle yet again.
Let's get down to reality folks, the first two are predictable:
1) We will be a top 5 defensive team in the league doubling the amount of sacks from last year. Couples likely ROY as most of you have already mentioned. Revis will be in contention for DPOY as usual.
2) The offense is the cancer of this team unless there are major improvements. Therefore, I'lll say they will cost us at least 50% of the games... I see us going 7-9 or 8-8 at best this season.
3) We will have to move some pawns to gain draft picks (5th or better). Ellis will eventually start, sending Pouha elsewhere via trade.
Lastly, Rex Ryan will probably gain all his weight back.
Jets go 4-1 to start the season.
SAR has an epiphany and spends the rest of the year harping on how great a job Woody, Rex and Tanny have done making the Jets winners.
1.Sanchez has a nice year.Not eye popping numbers but gets the completion percentage to 60 %.Cuts down on the int's.
2. The biggest weakness on the team this year will be running back.Greene has a down year and none of the other backs step up.
3. Dustin Keller has his best year. (contract year)
1. Swept by the Pats
2. all W's will be vs Sub-500 teams
3. Tebow will out rush Greene.
1. Hill will lead the team in receiving TDs
2. Coples will winDefensive ROY w/ 8+ sack year
3. McKnight will be the AFC Pro Bowl kick returner
Homer Version:
1. Coples wins DROY with 14 sacks 5 ff
2. Santonio Holmes AND Shonn Green have over 1000 yards.
3. Jets finish 11-5, win division from Buffalo, New England implodes.
Disaster Version.
1. Sanchez injured for the year game 1. Tebow gets hurt midyear.
2. Shonn Greene getting under 4 yards per carry. Offense averaging 15 ppg.
3. Jets finish 5-11, last place, but eek out some meaningless wins with McElroy at the end to ruin our draft choice chances.
Ok here goes:
1) Sparano is innovative enough using jumbo packages to give Sancheez 4 seconds to throw and he sends the ball down field in sub-3 seconds in most cases
2) The above happens because they take the shackels off Sanchez and he is allowed to play to his strengths which is read and scramble and make it happen.
3) Miracle time now: holMEs actually proves his $45 mill worth by being free 40% of the time Mark gives him a look... Schillans gets off the bike and shows his potential... Hills draws enough attention to let the other 2 happen.
Don't think any of the above is unreasonable and will keep the D off the field enough to win 12-4.
1. Hill, Holmes, and schillins all have bad years. Kerley is our number one receiver.
2. Coples finishes with 4 sacks. Wilkerson has a big year with 6
3. Jets finish 7-9
1. If the Jets are to have the number 1 defense, than their rushing offense going to have to be near the top.
Reason you have to have your offense move the ball consistently to let the defense rest. IF your offense getting off the field alot with three and outs ,eventually that will wear out your defense. No way you can have number 1 defense.
2 Jets will still have trouble matching up with Rb's and Te's in coverage.
3. The Jets pass rush isn't going to be a factor this year. Might down the road but not this year as it takes time for those players to mature. They are going to have to blitz to get pressure this year.

CEDAR FALLS - When the University of Northern Iowa football coaches evaluate the starting punter position, they won't always be looking for the strongest leg. It won't always matter if you boot it inside the 20-yard line with regularity either.
Nope. The most important aspect of the race may come from a stopwatch.
"We are getting our stopwatches on them and finding out who can punt it more consistently with the operation times that we put on it," said Northern Iowa linebackers coach Jeremiah Johnson, who also works heavily with the punters. "The first thing that I am going to look for is the operation time. We are looking to go from the snap to the kick in 2.0 seconds. The guy that most consistently gets to that time, will be in good shape. If we can get the ball punted in 2 seconds, we shouldn't get it blocked."
The two guys competing for the starting job and looking to replace four-year starter Kyle Bernard are former South Tama County standout Sam Kuhter and sophomore Logan Biegler, who played at Southeast Polk.
"I am just taking it one punt at a time. If he hits one, I am going to try to hit one better," said the freshman Kuhter, who has only been in Northern Iowa's camp for a week. "That is how I am approaching it. I will just keep improving on what I am doing. If it is not me, then I will keep plugging away and trying to get better. If it is me, then I will work to keep the job as the season goes on."
According to Johnson and UNI coach Mark Farley, the race is dead even. Both though would like to see some separation from someone before school starts up on Aug. 24. And even if someone breaks away from the other, it doesn't guarantee they will keep the spot all season.
"It will be open all season. It is a gut feeling more than anything," Farley said. "We have named a punter before the game and then in warmups changed it. It still comes down to that instinctive moment to who is ready for that role."
It is hard to separate the two punters based on their high school statistics as well.
During his senior season with STC, Kuhter averaged 39 yards per punt over 34 tries. Bieghler, who redshirted two seasons ago, averaged 40.2 yards per punt over 32 tries during his senior campaign at Southeast Polk in 2010. Bieghler also was the field goal kicker, making all 37 of his PAT attempts and 8-of-13 in field goal tries.
"We both have pretty good leg strength otherwise we wouldn't be here," Bieghler said. "We both want the job. We will make each other better and the best man will win.
"Everyone came here to play football. It is one of my dreams. If it comes true, then it comes true."
The advantage Kuhter may have on Bieghler early in camp is the fact that he played quarterback for the Trojans as well. And he also was the starting point guard on the basketball team, the ace pitcher on the baseball squad and a state qualifier in track and field.
"I am looking for athleticism. You may have to field a bad snap," Farley said. "He has been in plenty of situations to where his athletic ability shows through. I want a guy that has already been put in pressure situations before. Sam did that at his high school."
While Johnson admits the job is still wide open for either punter, he acknowledged that Kuhter's athletic ability is not going unnoticed.
"It allows us with his athleticism, if he can win the job, to do a lot of different things with him," said Johnson." Sam is a little bit faster, so if he can win the job, it would open things up for us."
Bernard punted for the Panthers for the past four seasons. Before he arrived on campus, he also played quarterback for his high school team.
Kuhter threw for 874 yards, rushed for 565 and scored a combined 16 touchdowns for the Trojans in 2012. He also had four interceptions on defense.
"I know there are a lot of people back home pulling for me because they think I can do big things here," Kuhter said. "Hopefully I can live up those to expectations. It would be awesome to punt here for four years. To follow in (Bernard's) footsteps would be awesome. He was a pretty good punter."
Kuhter is a third generation Panther as both of his parents and his grandfather all attended the university. That can only help the former Trojan in the race for the starting job.
"If you have been brought up around UNI, you have a sense of what it takes to be successful," said Farley. "UNI was his football team growing up. He was already invested in the team. I think that is what makes him a better fit for this team than some of the other guys we could have brought in."
Both Farley and Johnson had only seen Kuhter in action for two days at the time of the team's annual media day last Wednesday.
Johnson jokingly said he wanted to be able to decide "tomorrow" who wins the job.
But realistically it will likely linger on until at least Aug. 24 when the student-athletes begin fall classes.
"Right now, it's a very close race," Johnson said. "Hopefully, as we push forward, someone can separate themselves and go win the job, but right now it's a really good competition and the kids are working hard at it.
"Before school starts, I want to know. Hopefully by the 24th we'll know. The scrimmage on the 22nd would be an ideal time for us to figure it out."

The Energy Information Administration reports that the average home uses approximately 1,000 kilowatt hours (kwh) each month. Kwh is measured by multiplying the number of 1,000 watts of electricity used by the number of hours the device is in use.
Sealing around windows reduces air leaks and saves you
Every appliance has a different measure of electricity usage. Here are some examples of common appliances in the home and how much energy they consume in one hour.
Electric clothes dryer: 6,000 watts
Washing machine: 425 watts
Refrigerator : 188 watts
Dishwasher: 200 watts
Central AC: 6,000 watts
Window AC: 1,300 watts
Flat screen TV: 150 watts
LCD TV: 213 watts
Vacuum: 1,100 watts
Freezer: 273 watts
Water heater: 473 watts
Toaster oven: 1,200 watts
Coffeemaker: 1,200 watts
Desktop computer: 95 watts
DVD player: 25 watts
Cable box: 20 watts
Laptop: 50 watts
Selecting energy-efficient appliances and using them in a conservative manner can reduce energy usage and the cost of your monthly utility bill. Try to run high-wattage appliances during the evening or early-morning hours when energy rates may be reduced. Also, if the weather will be warm, running these appliances during cooler hours prevents the home from heating up even more -- possibly requiring the additional use of an air conditioner.
Unplug appliances when they're not in use to avoid vampire drain. Many appliances still draw a small amount of power even when turned off. Also, be sure to properly insulate and position appliances so they can run at the highest level of efficiency.
Energy audit
You can request or hire individuals to conduct an energy audit or home energy assessment. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the audit will assess how much energy your home consumes and evaluate what measures you can take to make your home more energy efficient.
If you prefer to do an energy audit yourself, you can look at a few key areas around the home where there may be air leaks or inefficient uses of energy. First, turn off any combustible appliances, such as water heaters and furnaces. Make sure the windows are closed, then turn on exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen to suck the air out of the rooms. Feel around outlets, doors, windows, baseboards, fireplaces, and attic hatches for any apparent leaks. Use a stick of incense to easily see the flow of air in the incense smoke.
If any leaks are found, address each one. This generally involves recaulking or sealing around points of entry. The DOE says the potential energy savings from reducing drafts in a home may range from 5 percent to 30 percent per year.
Additional steps
There are other steps you can take to make a home more efficient.
* Install solar panels to draw power from the sun.
* Plant deciduous trees or bushes on the south- and west-facing areas of the home. The leaves will shade the home during the summer months and fall off to allow sunshine in during the winter months.
* Plant bushes by the front door to act as a wind buffer.
* Use skylights to add light and warmth from the sun to the home.
* Think about using motion-activated lights in the home.
* Install a new programmable thermostat.
* Check the insulation in attics and basements and install new if the insulation you currently have is no longer efficient.
Save energy and money by making easy adjustments and improvements around your house.

Martin (left) helped Witherspoon (right) prepare for her role as a former professional softball player (photo courtesy: Carri Leto Martin)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard softball assistant coach Carri Leto Martin made her big screen debut Friday as actress Reese Witherspoon's body double in the movie How Do You Know. Martin filmed in Philadelphia and Los Angeles and was instrumental in helping Witherspoon prepare for her role as a former professional softball player.
"I was very fortunate to have Sue Enquist, the former UCLA softball coach, call me up and ask if I'd like to be Reese Witherspoon's body double," said Martin. "That doesn't happen every day!"
"My favorite part of the whole experience was training with Reese before the filming of the movie. It was incredible to get to know her, and it was also interesting to see the behind-the-scenes of filming a movie. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will never forget."

It's 2012. Of course, you know that.
But sometimes we act as if it were the 1990s or even before.
A couple of weeks ago, a Lee County Board member rejected the idea that the county's website should be the primary source of information on county government. Rather, he advised people to go to the courthouse to get the information they needed.
It was as if the Internet never happened.
In fairness, the county is putting more information online. On my smartphone, I can access the Lee County budget, and you can, too.
Such openness is uneven, however. Whiteside County, for instance, has yet to put its budget on the Internet. The county administrator says "issues arise" when large documents are posted – thus the reason for no budget online.
Believe me, I understand how frustrating computer problems can be, but can't someone with technical know-how help the county? After all, counties and cities around the country post their budgets online. I'm sure Whiteside can, too.
Lee County also has failed to post important documents online. Last year, county officials proposed giving $1.3 million to a truck stop developer as part of an economic development package.
Despite all the attention it received, the proposed agreement with the developer never made it on the county's website. (My mistake: As the reporter covering the issue, I should have arranged for posting the document on our newspaper's website.)
For weeks, the project's supporters complained that the public wasn't getting an accurate picture of what the deal was all about. Yet they never took the relatively easy step of helping educate their constituents – posting the proposed agreement online.
By one-vote margins, the County Board twice rejected the agreement.
It should never have reached the board. No big-dollar deal – especially a controversial one – should make it that far without going online.
It's 2012.

Hey, I'm a Believer
Young Sarah Feldman came home very sad from a date. She told her mother, "David proposed to me an hour ago."
"Mazal tov! But why are you so sad?" her mother asked.
"Because he also told me he is not a believer. Mom, he said that he doesn't believe in God, or heaven and hell."
"Marry him anyway," Sarah's mother replied. "Take him to Aunt Edna's for Shabbos. When you bring him home ask him if he wants to reconsider his belief in hell."

NTC update: A video letter, and an alum's proposal for how to save it
Matt Zambrano, a member of the National Theatre Conservatory's final Class of 2012 and a nationally renowned slam poet, recorded his passionate thoughts on the closing of this "amazing institution." Filmed at three venues and edited by Amy Kersten. For more information, go to www.thentcfoundation.org
To the Denver Center administration, the announced phase-out of the National Theare Conservatory may be a done deal, but not to its students and alumni.
This weekend, Class of 2005 grad Joshua Landay, currently a cast member of Broadway's "The Lion King," submitted a plea and a financial proposal to each of the Denver Center's 25 trustees.
In it, he outlined ways in which the Denver Center might reduce the current operating cost to run its 28-year-old masters graduate program by 64 percent by reducing class size, cutting the cost-of-living stipend and mandating that students take unpaid teaching positions in the Denver Center's community outreach programs.
To read the letter and proposal, click "Read more."
To the DCPA Board of Trustees,
I'm writing to you with a proposal to save the National Theatre Conservatory. This proposal is rooted in a recent moment of inspiration: a moment that gave me hope, showed me the promise of theatre's future, and, at the same time, granted me a glimpse into my past. It was a minute or two, at most, that revealed to me with utmost clarity the necessity of the National Theatre Conservatory.
I was waiting in a long line to enter the Tramway Theatre — which was already packed — for closing night of the NTC Rep's "Hamlet." A young boy in front of me looked up at the lockers lining the walls and asked his mother excitedly, "Is this a school?" She didn't know, and turned to me behind her in search of an answer. "Is there a school here? What are the lockers for?" she inquired. I proceeded to tell her about the NTC — that it was a graduate acting program; that it was the NTC students we'd be watching on stage that night; that it was the NTC students who teach kids like her son at the Denver Center Theatre Academy. "When you're a student here, you basically live out of these lockers," I continued, "clothes for movement classes, scripts you're studying, and costumes for all of the projects you're working on. And some food to sustain you through it all."
"Where do I get more information?" she asked. I answered her, but I couldn't bear to tell her that the NTC was being "phased out" — probably because I still don't accept that it will be. Think about it: the entire runs of both "Hamlet" and "Tartuffe" had sold out; NTC students were hard at work, finishing one project and beginning another; and NTC alumni were hard at work, too — on Broadway, off-Broadway, in Denver, in Oregon, in NTC-alumni companies — the entire NTC community was as alive as ever.
That moment — the excitement in that boy's eyes, his need to know more, the desire to see "Hamlet" at 8 years old — made it all clear. The NTC isn't a limb of the Denver Center, as some have suggested; it is the Denver Center's soul.
The NTC is the Denver Center's purest representation of what theatre should be: it challenges, it excites, it entertains, it intrigues, and it fosters the future generations of the theatre. And, as an unsurprising bonus, it sells out. For all of these reasons, phasing out the NTC is diametrically counterproductive to protecting the Denver Center's future. The best way to strengthen the Denver Center, in fact, is to make the NTC an even bigger and more involved part of the organization.

So, what, you ask, is Ileane Smith's best-kept curation secret?
"Content is not king, because it's the connections and the collaborations that you have with people that really rule the internet."
And, to add to that, Ileane "wants to encourage everybody to try Scoop.it because, if you go in there and search for a topic that you're interested in, you can be on there all day long."

Aided by a friendly hacker, Rift developer Trion Worlds has plugged a large security hole in the MMORPG's login system (via Zam). The flaw would allow dastardly cheats to access a player's account without even knowing their username or password.
"I'm very happy to confirm that we did fix a login vulnerability, with significant assistance from an extremely clever user," executive producer Scott Hartsman wrote on the Rift forum. "The root cause was a very subtle bug in error checking of our login validations deep in the server code. No personal information or any such was leaked out, and no outside attacker penetrated our servers, networks, or databases."focalbox
Player 'ManWitDaPlan' discovered that he could log into a friend's account "without knowing his username or password, by bypassing the auth system entirely." He reached out on the forums to inform Trion, who then investigated and fixed the fault. Mr. Plan did not disclose publicly how the hack worked.
As is seemingly inevitable with MMORPGs, Rift accounts have been targeted by hackers looking to scrape together or sell in-game currency.
"All totalled up, under 1% of accounts with characters have had characters impacted," Hartsman said. "However, 1% of a surprisingly large number is still very noticeable."
Last week, Trion added a security feature named Coin Lock to prevent players from selling, trading or destroying items if they log in from a "significantly different" location or computer without authorisation.
Hartsman recommends that while this security is fixed and Coin Lock is in place, players should ensure their Rift account password is not one they use on other websites, in case those are ever compromised.

People who came to the groundbreaking for the new Wawa convenience store coming to the corner of Fowler Street and Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers learned two things about the company.
The company has a plan to become a community fixture, and it sures know how to throw a party.
People arrived at the groundbreaking to see clappers on their seats and plastic work helmets and T-shirt giveaways in the back.
Article Photos
The celebration then moved to the Harborside Convention Center downtown for a more specific presentation and community luncheon with area business leaders and dignitaries.
Wawa, a convenience store chain with more than 650 locations nationally, including 44 in Florida, broke ground on three locations set to open next spring, including one in Cape Coral on the corner of Del Prado Boulevard and Pine Island Road.
Chris Gheysens, president and CEO of Wawa, said after opening stores in the Orlando and Tampa areas over the last two years, it was time to aggressively break into the fertile Southwest Florida market.
"We made a commitment to come in big and bold. Three is just going to start what will be many more," Gheysens said. "The demographics, population and there are many who know the brand, it think it will be successful here."
Gheysens expects to open as many as 12 stores throughout Lee, Collier and Charlotte counties in the next few years, with the possibility of more.
Many of the dignitaries, such as County Commissioner Brian Hamman and State Sen. Lizbeth Benacquisto got up to express joy over Wawa coming into the community.
"When I was a kid we never had anything like this, so it's nice to have variety and see the area continue to grow and it's nice to be a part of that," Hamman said.
There was plenty of swag for those who attended the event, which gave them an opportunity to see renderings of what the store would look like inside and out.
After the ceremonial turning of the dirt on a rainy day, it was off to Harborside, where Gheysens spoke further on the store's mission before handing over a $5,000 donation to the Harry Chapin Food Bank.
The Cape Coral store was great news to city officials, as it gets a big-name store at one of the city's biggest intersections.
"It's a great enhancement to the city. We are welcoming them with open arms. It's multi-functional, there will be other entities, and we're excited to have them here," Cape City Councilmember Lenny Nesta said.
Each store brings in money and jobs. Gheysens said Wawa commits at least $6.5 million to open a location through jobs, real estate, etc. Once opened, each location brings in between 40 and 50 jobs.
"We are such a food-centric business model, we rely on a unique supply chain and we wanted to come to a state where we can build hundreds of stores so we can build it the right way," Gheysens said.
Some of the items Wawa offers includse gasoline, fresh-made hoagies, coffee, iced and frozen beverages, and surcharge-free ATMs, among other things.
Wawa opened its first convenience store in 1964 after decades in the dairy business, and has grown to employ more than 22,000 people and serve more than 400 million customers annually.

Who has God designed you to be? What has he called you to do? These are important questions; questions that we believe must be answered if you are to achieve your greatest potential. What better place is there to explore the answers to these questions than at a Christian college, in one of the foremost aviation universities in the USA, in a community where faculty and staff see their work -- serving students -- as a holy calling?
Indeed, as you get to know us, you will find that our Christian faith is foundational to all that we do. You will also learn that with a long history of aviation education, highly-qualified faculty, respected alumni, excellent students, and state-of-the-art facilities, we have a lot to offer.
A long tradition of excellence:
Our program began in 1956 as an "on the job" training program at our founder's aviation business here in Longview Texas. Students could begin studies on any given Monday and learned by working alongside qualified aviation professionals. Over the past five decades almost everything about our program has changed. But the personal integrity, professional excellence and ability to "get the job done" remain the hallmark of LeTourneau aviation graduates.
Highly-qualified faculty:
Our faculty have world class industry experience which includes airline, corporate, manufacturing, and military aviation, as well as mission aviation. Our faculty have "been there and done that" and their experience provides a unique richness to the classroom and laboratory.
Respected alumni:
LETU aviation alumni are working around the globe as mission pilots, mechanics and leaders, airline pilots, engineers, managers, military pilots, corporate leaders, air traffic controllers, aircraft inspectors and mechanics. They are God's ambassadors, making a positive contribution in aviation workplaces around the world.
Quality students:
Our students work hard to become excellent in their profession. They also give back to our community and industry. Whether it is our NIFA team supporting the largest "fly-in" in the state, or our mission aviation students helping promote the Gospel in remote parts of the world, our students are actively engaged in service learning.
State-of-the-Art facilities:
The Paul and Betty Abbott Aviation Center is a world class aviation education facility located within sight of where our story began five decades ago. Our students study in state-of-the-art laboratories and airplanes that are maintained by our own professional staff.
Of course there is more to our story than I can convey in a few paragraphs. Let me invite you to get to know us better, to learn our story if you will, through our website. Perhaps, as you prepare for your life of work in aviation, we can help you write the next chapter in your story.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 16, 2013
Continued lack of peripheral neuropathy awareness combined with Medicare reimbursement cuts for diagnostic tools are causing major impediments to neuropathy epidemic prevention, patient care, and treatments according to The Neuropathy Association and the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. The two organizations are using national Neuropathy Awareness Week (May 13-17) to highlight the diagnostic challenges facing patients with all forms of peripheral neuropathy, which have no disease-modifying treatments or cures. Early and appropriate neuropathy diagnosis is key to prevention and providing symptom management to restore quality of life and stem neuropathy's progression.
Peripheral neuropathy, or "peripheral nerve damage," impacts well over 20 million Americans (at least 1 in 15), making it one of the most common chronic diseases and a leading cause of adult disability. Neuropathy disrupts the body's ability to communicate with its muscles, organs, and tissues. Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a hereditary group of neurodegenerative conditions degrading the nerves in the hands, arms, feet, and legs with crippling results, usually begins in childhood and impacts over 150,000 Americans.
Of the over 100 known types of neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy represents over a third of all neuropathies, making diabetes the leading cause. A third of neuropathies are "idiopathic" (unknown cause). Other neuropathies include hereditary, autoimmune-related, cancer or chemotherapy-related, entrapment or trauma-related, and neuropathies due to causes such as toxin-induced, nutritional deficiencies, gastro-intestinal disorders, metabolic diseases, or infectious diseases (including Lyme and HIV/AIDS).
Despite neuropathy's prevalence, lack of awareness and a greater understanding of neuropathy's complexities by the public as well as health care practitioners cause most patients to encounter time delays and a high probability of misdiagnosis and mistreatment before reaching a confirmed neuropathy diagnosis. A 2012 poll by The Neuropathy Association showed patients face a timeline between symptom onset and actual diagnosis lasting five or more years for almost a third (29.4.5%) of patients polled, a period of time during which irreparable nerve damage continued and access to appropriate care was impeded.
Because there are no cures, accurate diagnosis guides treatment path by assessing causes and nerve involvement; early diagnosis may be preventative. Needle electromyography tests (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS) are neuropathy's primary diagnostic tools, which can lead to genetic testing especially in cases of CMT. However, beginning January 1, 2013, Medicare reimbursement payments to physicians for EMGs and nerve conduction studies (NCS) were severely reduced by 30%-70%.
"This current diagnostic environment is a crisis unlike any we have ever known before—and is about to get worse," shares Tina Tockarshewsky, president and CEO of The Neuropathy Association. "Neuromuscular physicians are specialists who are trained in diseases like the peripheral neuropathies. As a result of the recent Medicare cuts, The Neuropathy Association is hearing that neuromuscular physicians—specialists who work with neuropathy patients—are facing difficulties in practicing neuromuscular medicine, and have begun to stop seeing Medicare patients"
"Without increasing awareness and removing impediments to care, early diagnoses will be reduced and misdiagnoses will increase," concurs Allison Moore, CEO of the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation. "Most health care practitioners do not have a basic understanding of the scope of the neuropathies, the diagnostic tools available, and the treatment protocols dependent on the type of neuropathy. Although it took years for me to get the diagnosis of CMT, once I did, it changed my own path of care—and, it enabled me to get appropriate testing done early for my own children to promote their health and well-being."
May 13-17 is the ninth annual Neuropathy Awareness Week, an event launched by The Neuropathy Association to promote greater attention to and prevention of this growing national epidemic. With early diagnosis, neuropathy can often be controlled and quality of life restored. If ignored, symptoms can intensify to loss of sensation, weakness, unremitting pain, and/or disability.
About The Neuropathy Association
Founded in 1995, The Neuropathy Association is the leading national nonprofit organization providing neuropathy patient support, education, advocacy, and the promotion of research into the causes of and cures for all forms of peripheral neuropathy through its nationwide network of members, regional chapters, 15 medical Centers of Excellence, and 150 patient support groups. For more information, visit http://www.neuropathy.org.
About the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation
Founded in 2001, the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation is the leading national organization dedicated to finding treatments that will halt, reverse and cure Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) through their Therapeutic Research in Accelerated Discovery (TRIAD) program, an innovative model that brings together academia, government, and industry. The collaborative translational model ensures the sharing of information among hand-picked partners that have one goal in mind: cure CMT.

A list of scientific luminaries and their supporters have signed a letter in support of international scientific endeavour on the eve of the Global March for Science on Saturday.
Entertainer Tim Minchin has joined Australian of the Year Alan Mackay-Sim, Nobel Laureate and ANU vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt, University of NSW science dean-elect Emma Johnston and broadcaster Adam Spencer to "call for a world that supports, celebrates and learns from science".
The March for Science will take place in hundreds of cities in more than 50 countries on April 22, Earth Day. The focus will be on Washington DC, where science advocates will rally in response to proposed budget cuts to science announced by US President Donald Trump and what many perceive as his interference in independent climate science research.
Australian of the Year Professor Mackay-Sim is a leading expert in stem cell research at Griffith University. He said: "Scientists must publicly discuss the importance of science in political decision-making and convince politicians of all parties to keep investing in science is as important for our future as spending on health and defence."
The letter is signed by 45 leading scientists and public figures and was organised by Science & Technology Australia, the country's peak body for science representing more than 60,000 scientists and technologists.
Science & Technology Australia chief executive Kylie Walker said: "We are extremely fortunate to have solid support for science and technology in Australia, but with a growing distrust and disregard for science around the world, we think it is time to speak out."
Proposed changes to Australia' 457 visa system have drawn criticism from the scientific and research community, which has said it will weaken the international nature of scientific endeavour in Australia by making it much more difficult to attract post-doctoral scientists to Australia.
University of South Australia deputy vice-chancellor Tanya Monro said: "The news around 457 visas is serious issue for us. At a time when other countries are looking inwards Australia has the opportunity to build on the excellence of our scientific research base to attract the best minds to Australia. "
University of Sydney physicist Michael Biercuk said: "On a strict interpretation [of the proposed changes], we are not able to hire people who are coming out of their PhDs internationally," he said. "We really need to sort out this issue."
However, Professor Biercuk has expressed reservations about the March for Science. He said this week: "I fear that scientists protesting in support of their own disciplines may inadvertently reinforce dangerous perceptions that scientists are part of a detached elite."
This sentiment is shared by a number of scientists, including the Australian Academy of Science.
The secretary for science policy at the Australian Academy of Science, Les Field, said: "The academy strongly supports US scientists who have established the March for Science.
"Science in Australia is in a different situation and while it is good to show solidarity with our US colleagues it's unclear what the Australian marches will achieve."
In Sydney the march will be addressed by former Liberal leader John Hewson and health advocate Simon Chapman. Professor Chapman this week described the Academy of Science as "spineless" and "naive" for not endorsing the march.
However the academy is relaxed about its staff and fellows participating.
Australian biologist Hugh Possingham will attend the march in Washington DC and is a co-signatory to the open letter.
Professor Possingham said: "As we celebrate Earth Day this year, science and hope are firmly at its core. Tens of thousands of people around the world will take part in the March for Science on Earth Day, calling on our elected officials to continue investing in scientific research that serves as the foundation of a strong, healthy and productive society."

Either or....Runs and drives great except for a blown left rear shock. Can provide a good rear set. Hood is...well, less than desired. Can throw in a near perfect condition one for $50.
Interior looks like it was not taken car of...otherwise would clean up nice and everything is functional.
Engine and trans is sound, and quiet. New muffler, has fresh inspection sicker...new ignition stuffs...
Anyhow, there has not been any attention given to this over in the market place, so Id see if I can get an interest here.
$250 for the DL wagon now, 2wd auto btw.....or make offers on parts. Its in Charlotte NC.

So its driveable and inspected? How many miles on the engine and tranny? Girlfriend is looking for a daily driver, she won't do the stick shift, so this might be an option. I won't have any money for it for a couple of weeks though, so hopefully that wouldn't be a problem.
Posted 23 May 2004 - 05:33 PM
80k miles on them. Driveable? Yes, hop in, turn key, fasten seat belt and close door...and dont forget to put it in "D" and you're ready to go! Its got a fresh inspection sticker from April. Good 'til April 2005 ofcourse.

You have a personal message. -- Russell

WJM, if you don't have a good hood now (if you were going to the yard for one), I've got one here in light blue from the blue GL that Moosens just parted. Shipping might be steep though. It's got a couple nicks on the front, other than that it's solid. No major dents or rust spots larger than a pinhead.
Posted 23 May 2004 - 10:05 PM
Ive got that really good one in my little SUBARU parts shack. Its only 50 miles from me, and shipping is free. lol But thanks for the offer.
Russell, now you've got a PM!

Do you still have the Car? I need a good 2WD Auto for a 90 Loyal. email@example.com Would take the whole car if you think it would make it to Colorado. Thanks, Larry
Posted 01 July 2004 - 10:06 PM
Actually, the car has already made it with its new owner to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. So yes, it would make it to CO...but you would have to talk to the new owner about it! lol But i dont think they would give it up.

My shop is in Kalama WA, and I am ready to fab roll cages, bumpers, etc, and am able to bend tube from 1 1/2 - 2 3/4. Most of my bumpers are made out of 2 3/8. I am fabricating front and rear bumpers for the outbacks, and the EA's, but will design and fab others as well. I also have lift kits for outbacks and the EA's, as well as stainless skid plates, EA-EJ adapter plates, and 15" wheels for the EA's
Thanks and have a great day,
Albie (360) 903 3801 or (360) 673-2172

The Olympic motto says it all. It translates to: "Faster, Higher, Stronger." But as athletes come up against the limits of human potential, writer Emily Sohn wondered, how do they continue to improve? The answer, she found, has to do with technology, psychology and access to a range of sports.
