Read our findings
Information security probably isn't something that gets a lot of executive attention. It's the CIO's job or the responsibility of his lieutenants. Yet every so often when scanning the headlines, news about the latest high-profile cyberattacks elevates your blood pressure as you wonder: Could that happen to us? What would be the impact on our business? How would we respond to customers and shareholders?
But then it's often back to the more pressing issues of the day, and the state of your company's information security recedes to the background. You won't likely give it another thought—until there's an incident. Then it's damage-control mode, as the company deals with stolen customer data, disclosure of confidential financial information, a disabled Web storefront, or worse.
This reactive approach is all too common, even though the question is not if a company will suffer an incident but when. In the annual PwC, CIO, and CSO survey of more than 9,600 global executives, 41 percent of US respondents had experienced one or more security incidents during the past year.1 And that number is rising. Respondents reported financial losses, intellectual property theft, reputational damage, fraud, and legal exposure, among other effects. (See Figure 1.) With such high stakes, most would agree that information security deserves full attention at the highest levels of the company.
Figure 1
US business impact of security incidents
Government leaders, at least, are taking notice: Lawmakers, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Administration have been highlighting increased security risks and the need for both the private and public sectors to step up their security game. In October 2011, the SEC issued guidance on the disclosure of cybersecurity risks and incidents.2 While the guidance didn't propose new requirements, it reminded company leaders—and boards of directors—of their obligations under current rules. That same month, in the aftermath of disclosures by WikiLeaks, President Obama issued an Executive Order calling for measures to enhance national security in order to reduce the risk of a similar breach in the future.3 These developments follow ongoing efforts to move cybersecurity legislation through Congress and into law.
Back in the corporate world, is cybersecurity still considered a purely technical matter? Or do businesses understand that it is the lynchpin for safeguarding their most precious assets—intellectual property, customer information, financial data, employee records, and much more?
It depends upon whom you ask. The PwC, CIO, and CSO survey revealed that executives may say and believe one thing, but the data and expert analysis indicate that they do another. First, the survey asked, How confident are you that your organization's information security activities are effective? Seventy-two percent of respondents answered that they were very confident or somewhat confident.4 However, when executives were asked to characterize their company's approach to information security, identifying whether they possess an information security strategy and have proactively implemented it, the positive results took a nosedive.
Just 43 percent of respondents self-identified as Front-runners; that is, those who felt they have an effective information security strategy in place and are proactive in executing the plan. Those who saw themselves as Strategists (27 percent) felt they have the big picture right but fall down on execution, while Tacticians (15 percent) said they are better at getting things done than in defining a broader strategy. Finally, the Firefighters (14 percent globally but 22 percent in the US) admitted to lacking a strategy and to being reactive regarding information security.5
But when it came time to let the data do the talking, the companies that were "walking the walk" and not merely "talking the talk" were significantly fewer: just 13 percent of respondents. (See Figure 2.) These leading companies not only have an information security strategy in place, but they demonstrate a number of other leading practices, including having a high-level security chief, regularly measuring and reviewing the effectiveness of their policies and procedures each year, and possessing a deep understanding of the types of security events that have occurred in their organizations.
Figure 2
Differing views of information security effectiveness and leadership
The majority of executives in the survey—72%—reported being very confident or somewhat confident that their organization's information security activities were effective. Yet just 43% described themselves as Front-runners, meaning they had a strategy in place and proactively executed it. But when we analyzed their information security practices, only 13% of companies could be considered True Leaders.
Figure 3
Primary obstacles to information security, by senior executive
Addressing information security can be especially challenging because executives do not always agree about company issues and goals. In the survey, we asked respondents what the greatest obstacles were to improving their organization's information security. While the number one response predictably was about resources—insufficient funding for capital expenditures—the answers often changed when we looked more specifically at who was answering.
CEOs agreed that lack of capital funding was the problem, but CFOs indicated a lack of leadership from the CEO was the reason. Meanwhile, CIOs and security executives pointed to a lack of actionable vision or understanding within the organization.
The companies in this top tier—whom we refer to as security leaders—understand that they are up against different types of cyberthreats. There essentially are four types of attacks, each of which has a different motive. It's helpful to think of these as storm waves, swirling around your business. At any given time, it is impossible to know which wave will hit and what type of damage it will wreak.
The first and oldest wave is nuisance hacking, in which there is little material impact to the company. A classic example is hackers defacing your company's website. More serious and widespread is the second wave, which is hacking for financial gain.
As business has migrated to the digital world, criminals have, too. What has emerged is a sophisticated criminal ecosystem that has matured to the point that it functions much like any business—management structure, quality control, offshoring, and so on. This type of hacking now goes beyond blindly stealing customer credit card information or employee passwords. For example, hackers might target a company's financial function in order to obtain its earnings report before it is publicly released. With such advance knowledge, they can profit by acquiring or dumping stock.
Protecting the business from cybercrime is one thing, but companies also must worry about a new type of risk—the advanced persistent threat. If you think the term sounds like it's out of a spy movie, you're not far off. This type of hacking is predominantly about stealing intellectual property and typically is associated with state-sponsored espionage. The motives go beyond financial gain. Experts may quibble about the specifics of this type of attack and whether it always has involved use of advanced techniques, but this is a serious and growing threat. It is not an understatement to say that what's at risk is not only your intellectual property but possibly national security.
The high-profile Stuxnet worm case demonstrates how specialized and sophisticated these attacks can be. The Stuxnet worm that was discovered in 2010 was designed to infiltrate industrial control systems, such as those that manage water or power plants. But it wasn't an infrastructure system that was hit; hackers infiltrated and potentially sabotaged the Iranian systems that manage uranium. As the chilling details emerge, what's noteworthy is that the attack was planned (and the worm developed and placed) as many as four years ahead of the incident.
This foresight echoes a trend we have seen in our work with companies such as defense contractors. When they announce plans to acquire another company, perpetrators go after the potential acquisition. Their hope is to embed malicious software on the systems of the acquisition target so that when the companies ultimately are integrated, hackers will have access to the parent company's systems—even if it means biding time for 18 to 24 months or longer.
And it's not only specialized industries like defense that are at risk for advanced persistent threats. We have seen considerable activity in the financial services and technology industries. In some cases, the perpetrators infiltrate a bank or service provider in order to get access to the organization's customers' systems.
Finally, there's one more type of threat that is on the rise: hacktivism. WikiLeaks immediately comes to mind, but, for the private sector, think of this as the digital equivalent to Occupy Wall Street. The goal of perpetrators is to change or create a public perception of your brand. For example, hackers might obtain sensitive information and disclose it to the public.
Not only do companies face a myriad of threats, their exposure grows as they invest in technologies like mobile, social, and cloud. In the survey, only a minority of US companies had strategies in place to protect against the risks that these new technologies bring.6 (See Figure 3.)
Figure 4
Companies addressing security risks from new technologies
Mobile, in particular, challenges the business because suddenly corporate data can be widely accessed outside of the enterprise. And employees often don't realize the risks being introduced when sharing, sending, or receiving corporate information on a smartphone or tablet, especially if it is a personal device.
Likewise, with social media, where the line between personal and professional can become blurry, employees inadvertently may be disclosing sensitive information. Called data leakage, it can happen when employees share seemingly innocuous details, such as the airport they are in or the coffee shop they are frequenting every morning. Others within their social networks can use these clues, along with profile information about their jobs (bankruptcy attorney, M&A specialist), to ferret out potentially sensitive information, such as the identity of a financially troubled company or a potential acquisition target.
Effective security leaders consistently demonstrate the linkages between security and the company's goals. They remind the rest of the management team that security is a strategic issue. In the survey, the Front-runner group emphasized this approach by citing client requirements as the driving force behind the company's information security investments. The other respondents pointed to legal and regulatory requirements as the main justification for information security spending in their organizations.
An organization that embraces this mindset, for example, might engage the security leader and the sales leader, together, to consider how better information security can help close or speed sales. They might determine that having well-documented information security controls, processes, or certifications in place enables them to anticipate and address customer concerns immediately when or before the issue first is raised.
Some companies we work with find it effective to have security leaders embedded within each business unit. These individuals report to line-of-business heads and work directly with them to evaluate how security can support each group's business goals.
Companies that understand the value that security brings to the business also ensure that they have a comprehensive strategy in place—and that they have the processes and procedures to back up their vision. The guiding principles for strategy are driven, in large part, by their data. Companies will want to ask a seemingly simple question: What's our most sensitive data?
Surprisingly, many companies can't begin to answer that question. Company leaders will need to identify their most sensitive data. They'll consider business assets like intellectual property, as well as information that they have a fiduciary responsibility to protect, including customer, business partner, or employee data.
As companies undertake this foundational exercise, they will ask: What data do we have? Where are they located? What laws and regulations apply to them? What controls do we have around them? Are we sending data to third parties? If so, is it being handled securely? There's much work to be done here: In the survey, only 29 percent of companies have an accurate inventory of data—a decline of 10 percent from just two years ago.
For companies that have grown through mergers and acquisitions, there's the additional hurdle of getting a handle on disparate data sources—not to mention different policies, processes, and systems that were inherited with each merger or acquisition.
In the process of evaluating what's currently in place and where the company's attention needs better focus, some organizations find it helpful to conduct an outside assessment of their current operations. Often, when companies get a glimpse into what really is going on, they are surprised. They discover that the biggest problems may be caused by their employees.
For example, companies may find that workers lack even a basic awareness of the information security risks to which employees are subjecting the business when they don't follow policy—for example, they fail to change default passwords or they leave their computers on when they go home. Some companies bring in outside security experts to conduct an assessment, particularly if an organization wants to test the security of its networks. This so-called ethical hacking attempts to penetrate a company's network to pinpoint vulnerabilities.
In our work as security specialists, the trend we've observed is that companies have become much better about protecting the organization from the outside. But once a perpetrator is able to gain access to an internal network—whether by walking in the door and plugging into a network jack or via malware that is dormant on a USB drive that an employee picks up in the parking lot and plugs into his networked computer—we always have been able to gain levels of unauthorized access.
A security assessment also might reveal that the company has not kept up with a changing IT environment, especially one in which business units or employees have independently added their own devices or applications to the mix. All too often, businesses maintain the status quo but don't adequately address how these latest technologies and new ways of working put them at risk.
Recognizing that organizations are dynamic—and that criminals always are innovating—it's especially important for companies to consistently monitor and test what they have in place. In the survey, the companies that we defined as True Leaders measure and review the effectiveness of their security policies and procedures annually (compared with just 54 percent of other respondents). These organizations also know where they are vulnerable and need to shore up their defenses. This is significant because just a few years ago, almost half of the survey's respondents couldn't answer the most basic questions about the nature of security-related breaches; now approximately 80 percent or more of respondents can provide specific information about the frequency, type, and source of security breaches their organizations faced. And they are seeing results: The leaders reported half as many information security incidents per year, compared with the rest of survey respondents.
Companies that are proactive about information security also consider the impact of breaches—especially given that these events are on the rise. Of those, risks associated with customers, partners, or suppliers are a major concern, having nearly doubled in the past two years. This situation is compounded by the fact that given recent economic uncertainty, security has not been a priority. The levels of investment, awareness, and training all have declined.
In thinking about potential breaches, organizations will determine to whom they need to disclose an event. This issue is gaining more attention in light of the SEC's recent guidance on the matter, reminding public companies that the following impacts must be included: remediation costs to customers or partners, increased information security investments required to remedy the situation, lost revenues due to breach, litigation resulting from breach, and reputational damage affecting customer or investor confidence. Company management and boards will want to consider the balancing act required to fulfill these responsibilities to investors and customers while ensuring that leadership does not disclose information that would make the company further vulnerable to hackers.
Leading companies today are rethinking the role of information security in their organizations. They realize that in a digital world, cybersecurity is the key to safeguarding their most precious assets—intellectual property, customer information, financial data, and employee records, among others. But far more than a defensive measure, companies also know that cybersecurity can better position their organization with business partners, customers, investors, and other stakeholders.
Additionally, a sustained approach to security enables companies to better take advantage of newer technologies—mobile, social media, and cloud—that are driving business growth for many organizations. Company executives are leading the charge, working across the business to assess the current environment, define their most sensitive data, assign accountability, devise a strategy, and measure their progress. With strong leadership and a comprehensive approach that continually links information security back to business strategy, top managers will better position their organizations for success.
Like the very nature of business itself, information security challenges are evolving. This topic came up continually as we discussed the survey findings with companies in all fields. What are the security chiefs at leading organizations most worried about? Here are some of the top concerns:
Mobile devices The power of employee and customer mobile devices makes companies increasingly vulnerable. Consider just a few scary possibilities: Hackers mobilizing smartphone users to bring down a company network by organizing a "computational flash mob." Or banking apps available from popular online stores that are not affiliated with the banks they claim to represent; instead, they are designed to steal data. What is the best thing companies can do? Come to terms with the fact that mobile is here to stay and address it head-on in your strategy and policies. Begin thinking of mobile devices not as phones or adjunct devices but on par with laptop computers that have their own powerful peer-to-peer networks.
Increasing sophistication of the attacks Whatever you call these attacks—and security experts have been known to go round and round about just what constitutes an advanced persistent threat and whether the term is useful—some perpetrators are changing the rules of the game. They are locking on a specific target and formulating long-range plans to accomplish their goals. In the last year, we have seen several industry-leading companies in the technology and financial services industries that have been victimized. If it could happen to them, it could happen to anyone.
Proposed legislation Experts seem to agree that it's only a matter of time before information security is mandated by law. Over the past few years, various incarnations of bills have been proposed. While security chiefs understand the scrutiny, they have concerns about security becoming a compliance burden. They worry that this will cause businesses to lose sight of what really matters: focusing on their strategy and thinking about next threats.

Skip to comments.Hope Solos fiance arrested before wedding
Posted on 11/14/2012 10:05:22 AM PST by Clint N. SuhksEdited on 11/14/2012 10:11:41 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Hope Solos fiance was arrested on suspicion of assaulting the U.S. soccer star a day before their planned wedding on Tuesday.
The gold medal-winning Olympian was preparing to exchange vows in secret with football star Jerramy Stevens in Seattle, but the ceremony was called off after a bizarre bust-up on Monday.
(Excerpt) Read more at blog.chron.com ...
Hans was unavailable for comment
Maybe he was auditioning to be the new president of FC Dallas.
They've been dating for two months...what could go wrong?
Man, I remember Stevens at Washington.
Accusations of rape, assault, drugs, etc.
His released emails from the time revealed a college student who was borderline literate.
Coach Neuhisel (sp?)was forever covering for his star TE's troubles.
I hope she stays solo.
He has quite the resume.
According to the Business Insider:
Stevens was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault in 2000 after an eyewitness saw him having sex with a University of Washington freshman against the side of a fraternity house. Witnesses claimed that the woman exhibited symptoms of a date-rape drug, but blood tests were conducted too late to be conclusive, and Stevens was not charged because prosecutors couldn't prove that there wasn't consent.
The woman left UW and says she suffered from depression after the incident.
The Seattle Times detailed the rest of Stevens' legal issues in the article. Here's the rundown:
Think maybe Hope Solo should have known what she was getting into?
She needs to take a hard look at this and consider herself a lucky girl that they didn't marry.
The wedding was in the nude, right?
Wasn't Hope Solo in the news at the Olympics for sounding like a huge slut??
Apparently, she plans to marry Stevens this weekend.
I hope she marries him
I always think miscegenation is great for stupid white girls.
Without it we wouldn't have our Messiah, President Obama.
Flame on
Soooo.... she's going to be going Solo as her Hope for this guy fades.
She was quoted in a story about the promiscuity that occurs at the Olympics. She didn't state if she was a part of it.
I don't have a problem with mixed-race marriages.
I see no reason to flame you...you're right as far as I'm concerned.
Han Solo was getting married?
She's got a one way ticket to being left in a dumpster. Her father should be so proud.
Just another stupid white chick getting married to a POS black.
Theyve been dating for two months...what could go wrong?
- - - - -
I don't know about her, but he grew up Mormon and 2 months dating before getting married isn't unusual at all in Mormon culture.
He's a true tribute to his religion. Check out his history. Look for a link in the comments.
Reminds me of that old saying "If you lay down with dogs, you're going to get fleas." No offense intended comparing dogs to this piece of crap.
Hope was a big dud on Dancing With the Stars last season.
A whiner, devoid of personality, lackluster...voted off cuz noone liked her, including her pro dancing partner, Maxim Chermkovsky, who reportedly slapped her during rehearsals. I guess she's in to being roughed up. :-)
Battered syndrome sufferers will go to great lengths to cover for the perp. That's why perps choose them. DUH. I remember reading that Josh Brolin gave Diane Lane a black eye a few years ago. Next day, she was seen smiling on camera and saying that it was "no big deal".
Yeah, I saw those.
She's from my hometown — where I still live — but not following most sports I catch only the more sensational news items involving her like this one.
Oh sock-her, that 3rd world sport where everyone riots..........meh.
I forgot Maks slapped her, hmm..there seems to be a pattern here.
Regardless I don't think men should ever hit women.
"Star" my right nut. He never got more than 45 catches for 554 yards in any season, and never before or since got close to even that underwhelming level.
Re. #7; I see that being able to play a sport well still gets a guy extra special treatment from our school and legal systems.
Post #7 doesn't even scratch the surface. Skim the article linked at post #8 if you really want some insight into how playing football well got him special treatment from prosecution for the rape accusation and other criminal charges.
Sounds like a MORMON wedding in the 'temple'.
You're right and given the intensity of parents today who wish their girls to make it to the olympics, one has to wonder what her background was like.
Be that as it may, the fact that she chose to get married to this bearded thug (did you see his picture?) in a secret ceremony tells me that everyone close to her in her life has been warning her about this guy and in defiance to them, she has chosen to go thru with it without their participation.
Absolutely nothing good will come of this marriage and her potential career endorsements will likely suffer also..
Twenty years from now, if she's still alive, she'll write a book about her lifetime of abuse.........
Without it we wouldnt have our Messiah, President Obama.
Flame on
No flames from me; for you have picked up on a theme in MORMONism...
When Mormon 'Prophet' and second President of the Church, Brigham Young, spoke in 1863 the following was said:
"Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God is death on the spot. This will always be so."
(Journal of Discourses, Vo. 10, p. 110)
Seems that I remember BYU having a bit of a problem a few decades back with black players on their teams.
MORMONism's god changed his mind about blacks shortly after that.
Having dated several women who endured violent abuse in their prior marriages and them sharing their childhood history with me, I would suspect that her father is the underlying cause for her bizarre behavior and her decision to not include her family and friends in her wedding plans..........
She needs help, love and prayer.........
I don't know ,much about Mormons, I am not one, but I see hybrid kids every day, my son raised one, and they are an unhappy lot.
They belong to neither race, and most often end up moving the their black side.Like Obama.
A lot of people don't, they don't care about the poor kids who have to live with it.
Obama is a good example. Read his book.
President of the United States and still haunted by his racial makeup. Hates his own mother called his Grandmother a typical white woman.
However, you'll have to carry on an anti-miscegenation discussion without me.
There won't be one , too many people are frightened of it.
I adopted four and they are in good shape. Despite their color they are culturally white and fit in very well.
The happy couple married right after the court appearance.
Well Good for you, I hope your luck continues to hold.
"The happy couple married right after the court appearance."
Well, there's a great argument about the dangers of 'headers' in soccer.
I suspect it will be a matter of months before her name can be, "Hopes to be Solo."
Well Good for you, I hope your luck continues to hold.
They are mostly in their twenties, employed, educated, in missions, and marrying.
Well Good for you, I hope your luck continues to hold.
They are mostly in their twenties, employed, educated, in missions, and marrying. It aint luck.
Looks like they will make a wonderful family.
And voting for Obama, You forgot that.
My voting aged children voted for Rommney believe it or not. One is leaving her place of employment because of the Obama craze insulted her.
My voting aged children voted for Rommney believe it or not. One is leaving her place of employment because of the Obama craze insulted her. My kids have class.

Skip to comments.Steven Hayes Sentenced to Death in CT (Judge: "May God have mercy on your soul")
Posted on 12/02/2010 8:44:37 AM PST by Red in Blue PA
Breaking news on Fox.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I need to try to be a better Christian, because I find it hard to wish for any mercy for this man.
Kinda cliche' isn't it?
Nonsense. He was sentenced to a free cot with free food where he will get to rape CT's families for millions of dollars in appeals.
Evil ALWAYS wins.
The only bad thing about his conviction is that the state had to make a deal with his co-conspirator who, IMHO, is just as culpable as he was. They both should be dead. But, I don't have any doubt that neither will be dead in 20-years (save of course for prison-yard justice, which is a possibility).
I want him tortured first.
Point #1) Hope the EXPEDITE the appeals process so the father need not suffer any more than he has to.
Point #2) I would love to see his punishment be the same as he meted out on those poor girls.
Liberals will want him fired, and try to get the case nullified because he said God.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Anything over a yar is unacceptable in this case. He was caught red handed doing the acts.....nobody denies he did it. Why the delay....start the appeals today and get them fast-tracked.
How about may God take a piss on your head as he waves you down the chute to burn in hell
Evil does win....Too bad the husband just couldn't shoot him in the head.....
What kind of "deal" did they make with the co-conspirator? The other guy (with the Russian last name) was actually the one whose idea it was, IIRC. He participated in everything and in fact was even the one who lit the fire. It's hard to imagine that any deal could have been made to protect him.
I like the old fashioned term, "guilty beyond peradventure".
18 years on Death Row is nothing. In Florida we have murderers on Death Row since the 70's who did their crimes in the 60's. Really disgraceful.
I'm mistaken. No plea with Komisarjeski has been struck. His trial - as best I can tell - has not begun. I was under the impression that a plea had been negotiated. That is incorrect. Sorry for the confusion.
In the famous "double indemnity" case, the case on which the book and movie are very loosely based, the murder occured on March 20, 1927 and the murderers were executed on January 12, 1928, less than 10 months later. And that was an extremely high profile murder case.
In their last ditch appeal, the attorneys for the murdering bastards, Saco and Vanzetti, tried to have the sentence commuted because the interval between the verdict (July 14, 1921) and execution (August 23, 1927) constituted cruel and unusual punishment! The sentence was delayed because of the extraordinary circus put on by the defense, nevertheless, even in Texas, six years between verdict and execution would be considered swift these days.
This is why mortals don't qualify for the position of God. It seems like such an easy job, but not many of us, I fear, could do it.
Ross got death because he gave up his appeals and asked for death
Last CT execution before Ross was in 1960!!!!
The liberal defense lawyers will seize upon this to say the judge was a religious fanatic and the sentence should be reversed.
Just imagine if this occurred in a state that did not have the death penalty.
Zero justice...
It reminds me of the Nazi saboteurs that were caught of the coasts of FL and NY (I think LI) in June of 1942. They were set ashore by U-Boat, on a mission to blow up military and civilian targets on US soil. They were apprehended virtually immediately, and none had been able to attempt their acts of sabotage, let alone successfully complete them.
They were all tried by military commission (yep, military commission), and all were found guilty. One man, a US national named Quirin became the defendant in the famous US Supreme Court case Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942). His life was sparred eventually, as was another US national who was caught. But, the remaining 8 (or 6, I can't remember) were executed as a result of the commission's guilty verdict. They were hanged until death in Washington DC on August 8, 1942 - roughly 9 weeks after they had been apprehended.
Today, we have people at Guantanamo that not only attempted sabotage and murder against America and her citizens, but were actually successful. None have been put to death, almost 10-years later.
I believe FDR made some remark about not wanting some sonofabitch filing a Habeus Corpus writ in that case.
Thank goodness! I know prosecutors make some crazy deals, but I honestly couldn't see even a CT prosecutor making a deal with this guy!
You are correct. I am talking about convictions and sentencing after the 1972 decision. If you look at the current Florida Death Row roster, there are condemned murderers sitting on Death Row now who have been there for over 35 years, some who did their killing in the 60's but were convicted and sentenced years later.
I believe that. FDR was a progressive pseudo-socialist who didn't hate his country. I'm pretty sure his kind are now extinct.
The other thing about this case, is that the commissions were held ENTIRELY in secret. Can you imagine being able to pull that off today?
The Constitution explicitly forbids ex-post facto laws. Any attempt to execute someone for a crime commited in the 1960's using a law passed in 1972 would seem to me to run afoul of the Constitution. You have to be tried under the laws in effect at the time of the crime.
The complete phrase is "guilty beyond peradventure (= chance) of doubt."
I stand corrected on one point. One of the killers did commit his 1st Murder 1 in 1966 and got life. He was mercifully freed and did an encore performance in '78. He has been on Death Row since '81 for that one.
On the other point, I stand by my statement. There are numerous guys on Death Row since mid-70's, one guy since '74. Several of these guys could be on Social Security.
At the very beginning of this subject, you must thoroughly understand that it means the doubt of a reasonable man who is earnestly seeking the truth. It does not mean the doubt of a man who is earnestly looking for doubts. It means such a doubt that exists in the mind of a juror after there has been, on his part, an honest and conscientious effort to ascertain the truth. It does not mean a doubt beyond all peradventure. Neither does it mean beyond all imaginary or possible doubt, because everything relating to human affairs and human evidence is open to some possible or imaginary doubt.
I like it.
The judge should have said: "Only God may have mercy on your soul because I won't. Have a nice day."
BTW, good point, thanks.

... this book will show you
the world in a new light...
"There is no other modern American critic who is half as brilliant. Unlike just about every other political economist, Doug is utterly consistent in his views. He is the only person on the scene today who could rightfully claim Mencken's mantle.
What's in this book might make you rich. More importantly, it will give you a solid philosophy of life, something I doubt anyone else is as well prepared to teach. What's in this book will show you the world in a new light. It will allow you to see the world as it really is... which is a gift everyone should enjoy."
– Porter Stansberry, founder and CEO of Stansberry & Associates Investment Research
This, says libertarian philosopher, famous speculator, and free-market advocate Doug Casey, is not the time to cower like a pack of whipped dogs.
It's a time to speak out against ever-increasing government meddling in US citizens' lives... the treacherous lure of the nanny state... the global-warming hoax... the dangers of Obamacare... the domestic terrorist organization called TSA... the futility of voting... and much more.
Read the views of a contrarian who is not afraid to speak his mind – on everything under the sun.
Not too long ago, the word "America" actually stood for something... an ideal of personal freedom, self-reliance, and moral strength that nations the world over admired and tried to emulate.
Today, says liberty advocate Doug Casey, that ideal has been perverted – America is dead, and all that's left is the US, just one of many equally dysfunctional nation-states.
At this point, the whole system is in a self-reinforcing downward spiral. It needs to be flushed."
(On TSA, Chapter 10)
At a time when government intrusion, corruption, cronyism, and fraud abound in Western societies, Doug is one of the few voices of reason calling for a return to honesty and free-market principles.
My view is that free-market capitalism is the only ethical economic system. It maximizes everyone's advantage and does so without coercion."
(On Ethics, Chapter 22)
People have called him a doom-and-gloomer, but Doug views himself as an optimist. While he has no doubt that the United States is in for a rough economic ride – for which he has coined the term "Greater Depression" – there's always a silver lining.
Case in point: for many years Doug Casey's keen business instinct has helped him detect budding trends and turn them into profit opportunities – even in times of crisis, such as the Crash of 2008.
Aside from Doug's musings "on the passing parade," as he calls it, the reader of Totally Incorrect is being treated to a deep look into the mind of a successful speculator and the investment implications of nearly every topic the author discusses.
Totally Incorrect comprises 43 entertaining conversations between Doug and his friend and colleague Louis James – 43 model exercises in libertarian thinking and social critique.
Doug, a student of philosophy and a history buff, has long noticed how history, if not repeating itself, at least rhymes... and he sees distinct parallels to the US's current quagmire in the run-up to the 1930s Depression as well as in the fall of the Roman Empire.
It looks a lot like the American experience over the last couple hundred years. It starts with conquest and expansion, leads to global dominance, and then slips into decline."
(On Rome, Chapter 6)
Some people [say] it minimizes harm to vote for the lesser of two evils. That's nonsense, because it still leaves you voting for evil."
(On Voting, Chapter 33)
The Nobel Peace Prize itself needs debunking. If Obama can win it for good intentions, they should give a special posthumous prize to Princess Di, because she wanted to give the world a hug and buy everybody a puppy."
(On Nobel Prizes, Chapter 39)
Political power tends to attract the worst kind of people, the four percent of any society that's sociopathic. So declaring holidays to honor these people is a tragic mistake in and of itself."
(On Presidents, Chapter 24)
It amazes me that when Congress created [the TSA], they found 50,000 people, practically overnight, who thought that getting paid to go through fellow citizens' dirty underwear at airports was a good deal."
(On the TSA, Chapter 1)
Aside from Doug's pointed comments on the state of the union, here's a short list of what you'll discover in Totally Incorrect...
- Why the US's War on Drugs is just as stupid and dangerous as the 1920s Prohibition;
- Why, in a country with stifling laws and regulations, corruption can be your friend;
- Why NASA should be abolished and its assets be auctioned off;
- Why the US would be richer and freer today if the South had been allowed to secede;
- Why paying taxes is the same as being mugged on the street;
- Why excessive government regulation actually endangers consumers, rather than protects them;
- What a truly free society would look like;
- Why Lincoln and FDR may be the worst presidents in US history;
- Why most college educations today are a waste of time and money;
- Why the US Army can never win in Afghanistan;
- Why voting is not only futile but downright unethical;
- And MUCH more.
An enlightening and thoroughly entertaining read, Totally Incorrect provides food for thought and plenty of conversation fodder for your next cocktail party.

AWS seeks nominations for Image of Welding Awards
The American Welding Society (AWS), Miami, and its Welding Equipment Manufacturers Committee (WEMCO) seek nominations for the AWS sixth annual Image of Welding awards.
Award winners will be announced during an awards ceremony at the FABTECH® International & AWS Welding Show, which runs Oct. 6-8 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The awards recognize individuals and organizations that have shown exemplary dedication to promoting the image of welding in their communities.
AWS estimates that there will be a shortage of about 200,000 welders by 2010. The contest is part of a wider AWS campaign to draw positive attention to the welding industry.
The awards are issued in seven categories: Individual; Section (AWS local chapter); Large Business (200 or more employees); Small Business (fewer than 200 employees); Distributor (welding products); Educator; and Educational Facility. All individuals, organizations, and groups may be nominated for multiple categories. The nominations will be judged by WEMCO, a standing committee at AWS that is composed of executives from welding industry suppliers to promote the welding equipment market. Enhancing the image of welding as a critical industry is among the committee's priority programs.
To nominate an individual or organization for an award, send a written explanation of the nominee's qualifications, along with your name, phone number, e-mail, and mailing address, to Adrienne Zalkind at AWS Image of Welding Awards, 550 N.W. LeJeune Road, Miami, FL 33126, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

> The Emery County Public Lands Council took a field trip to the Seeley Fire burn scar as well as other areas of the Manti-LaSal forest on Aug. 16.
The purpose of the trip was to educate the lands council members and acquaint them with the projects ongoing on the forest.
The first stop was Nuck Woodward canyon where road work is going on to repair damage caused by flooding. The road into Stuart Guard Station is also being repaired.
The next stop was Engineer Canyon where flood water flows have deposited large boulders across an area that was being looked at for possible camp spots and parking. The forest service has determined now this might not be a good location for camping and will look at alternatives in the area.
Other stops included a look at the fire line, improvements to camping in the Lake Canyon area and areas where timber is being harvested. Fuels reduction projects at Joe's Valley were also toured.
Some of the rehabilitation work on the forest has included turning the downed trees sideways to act as natural breaks for debris and water.
In discussing the Seeley fire the forest service employees said the conditions were prime for a fire of this type. With all the dead beetle killed trees and the dry conditions fire was inevitable at some point.
The forest officials said old controlled burn areas, seemed to fare better in the fire than areas that have never burned. In 2009 there was a controlled burn in Tie Fork that burned 2,000-3,000 acres and when the Seeley Fire arrived there it stopped at the old burn. This also happened in Engineer Canyon. This is proof that controlled burns really do work to remove the built up fuels.
Public Lands Director Ray Petersen encouraged the forest service officials to look at new areas for camping if they have to close any areas off due to damages from flooding and camp spots in dangerous areas. The campground below Stuart Guard station has flooded several times and may be closed for a while. In South Hughes the tables and the fire ring have been removed and put into storage.
Plans were in the works for more controlled burns in Huntington Canyon before the Seeley fire made these burns unnecessary.
Darren Olsen, forest ranger for the Ferron office said even though things look black and burned in areas, there is regeneration. You can see new grass growing in the burn areas. There are some aspen shoots up about a foot high already in some areas. Fire is necessary for regeneration and encouraging new growth. Fire can be good and beneficial, but Olsen said it's tough to see the burned areas and many things have changed in the canyon, but the users must adapt and get used to the way things are now. Especially they need to be aware and alert when using the canyon to avoid being injured by flooding.
Even if it isn't raining where you are, debris flows can travel for miles. Olsen said safety is the biggest factor now in the canyon. Debris flows can cover the main highway in a matter of minutes which has been shown in flooding events this summer. As winter approaches users need to be very careful when traveling through the burn area which is an area approximately 10 miles from Crandall Canyon to below Electric Lake.
Utah Department of Transportation continues to work in the Pole Canyon area where SR-31 has been hit the hardest with road damage. SR-31 is currently open and will remain open, but motorists need to be alert that the road can close at any time due to flooding.

What, exactly, is a Humblebrag, you ask? It's pretty much exactly what it sounds like: A humble brag, or a brag about an accomplishment veiled in false humility. As noted by the Wall Street Journal, it's also a "particularly Hollywood offense," which means that humble brags from celebrities are both ridiculous and hilarious. That's why stand-up comedian and Parks and Recreation writer Harris Wittles has created a Twitter feed devoted to this most bizarre of trends: twitter.com/humblebrag. In it, Wittles collects and retweets every humble brag he finds, and believe you me, the results are amazing. Here, we've assembled for your comedy pleasure the best of Wittles' celebrity humble brags. Get bragging!

Context matters
Jonathan Willis
November 19 2008 05:49PM
Much of the angst about the Oilers this season stems from a quick look at the standings: hovering around or below eighth place after a summer of team-building is not accepted anymore in these parts. The usual solutions (fire the coach, trade bums a, b and c) have been trotted out, and even Craig MacTavish seems more uneasy than usual.
The context—in this case, the schedule—really matters here. The Oilers have played 14 of their 19 games on the road, and have points in four of their five home games. To make this point crystal clear, here are the Western Conference standings, based solely on road record:
Detroit (8-1-1): 1.80 PTS/GM Anaheim (5-2-0): 1.43 PTS/GM San Jose (6-3-0): 1.33 PTS/GM Minnesota (6-3-0): 1.33 PTS/GM Edmonton (7-7-0): 1.00 PTS/GM Vancouver (4-4-1): 1.00 PTS/GM Colorado (4-5-0): 0.89 PTS/GM Columbus (3-4-2): 0.89 PTS/GM Nashville (4-6-1): 0.82 PTS/GM Dallas (4-6-1): 0.82 PTS/GM Los Angeles (2-3-0): 0.80 PTS/GM Phoenix (3-5-0): 0.75 PTS/GM St. Louis (2-4-1): 0.71 PTS/GM Calgary (3-6-0): 0.67 PTS/GM Chicago (2-3-1): 0.50 PTS/GM
Edmonton, by this particular standard, is in fifth. But, you say, what about their home record? Let's look at how their home record stacks up:
San Jose (10-0-1): 1.91 PTS/GM Calgary (7-2-1): 1.67 PTS/GM Minnesota (5-1-1): 1.57 PTS/GM Chicago (6-1-4): 1.45 PTS/GM Vancouver (6-2-1): 1.44 PTS/GM Nashville (5-2-0): 1.43 PTS/GM Detroit (4-1-2): 1.43 PTS/GM Phoenix (5-3-1): 1.22 PTS/GM Edmonton (2-1-2): 1.20 PTS/GM Columbus (5-4-1): 1.10 PTS/GM Colorado (4-4-0): 1.00 PTS/GM St. Louis (4-4-1): 1.00 PTS/GM Anaheim (5-5-2): 1.00 PTS/GM Los Angeles (5-5-2): 1.00 PTS/GM Dallas (2-2-2): 1.00 PTS/GM
Obviously, it's very early, so a hot streak or a cold streak are particularly exaggerated right now, but if we take each teams road/home PTS/GM and multiply them by 41, we get the exact pace of each team, with home and road records placed with equal value:
San Jose: 133 PTS Detroit: 132 PTS Minnesota: 119 PTS Anaheim: 100 PTS Vancouver: 100 PTS Calgary: 96 PTS Nashville: 92 PTS Edmonton: 90 PTS Colorado: 87 PTS Columbus: 81 PTS Phoenix: 81 PTS Chicago: 80 PTS Dallas: 75 PTS Los Angeles: 74 PTS St. Louis: 70 PTS
The Oilers are currently on pace for an eight place finish, which would have to be considered an underachievement. However, that's largely based on their home record, which consists of a grand total of five games. Once there is a larger record to extrapolate from, we'll have a better idea of where everybody sits.
It's also worth noting that the Oilers have had far-and-away the most difficult schedule in the Western Conference. Even Dallas, the team with the second-most road games, has played 35 per cent of their games at home, while Edmonton has played just 26 per cent. Edmonton's road record to date puts them in with the heavy-hitters of the Western Conference.
nice breakdown! makes me somehow feel better inside! what-chu talking bout willis?
Jonathan - Very nice! Context indeed.
You might want to skip over to the Oilers site and listen to Penner's off-day interview. Man he's in a pissy mood.
November 19 2008, 08:02PM
Thanks, David. That's a great little scrum.
Reporter: "So, you're taking a less is more approach to talking about this situation?"
Penner: "Hey, you're catching on."
Penner: "I'm saving it for the book I'm gonna write."
I've always liked Penner - and those are great comments to the press. He's handling it exactly right, not saying much of anything against the coach/team and showing the media a little snark to boot.
Also, the media finally questioned Garon's benching - Matheson's column today quotes him at length, and MacTavish basically says that he defers to Pete Peeters.
Those are really my two issues with MacT this year - the over-the-top criticism of Penner, and the benching of Garon. Barring behind-the-scenes stuff with a pretty big impact, both seem like errors.
November 19 2008, 08:16PM
I cant find it on the site, it isnt the interview from yesterday. Can someone post a link
November 19 2008, 08:26PM
Second video on the right.
Jonathan - Looks like Garon had the flu last while. Louise (a knowledgeable long time poster on LT's site) let everybody in on it a few days ago. Garon's not ready because Peeters probably figures he doesn't have all his strength back. This makes more sense than some of the stuff people are putting out there. Ocham's Razor in action again.
November 19 2008, 08:56PM
David S -
If Garon is sick, then why is he the back up instead of JDD? If he's not well enough to start, then he should be in the press box with a healthy JDD standing ready in case Roloson falters. The whole 3 goalie situation is completely asinine, but if you've got one sick guy and two healthy guys, why is one of the goalies dressing for the games the sick one?
It is a very nice context and somewhat along the lines of what I was thinking. I had the Oilers with the seventh best road record before last nights game. The concern is that they are not playing as well as we think they can play.
I for one had them winning the division, partly because they are better than last year and also because the rest of the division is weaker. Having said that, Vancouver and Minny look much better so far than I expected.

Much better than anyone expected
November 19 2008, 09:41PM
David - Yeah, I saw that. It's too bad Louise doesn't chime in more; her insight is always appreciated.
Canucklehead - Because Craig MacTavish is crazy with goaltenders. When he's got three, he alternates his backups without fail, presumably to keep their heads in the game.
I like Penner as well but it's gross that he's a pro making that much coin and has to constantly be reminded to stay in shape.
No excuses for that one.
November 20 2008, 12:32AM
Dennis - no excuses for him, and I won't argue that he's worth the money, because it's a lot. A better bet than Todd Bertuzzi for the same, but that's damning with faint praise.
The one thing about Penner is that he's never really going to be valued by fans for what he does, because his results>style. He is adapting to different ice-time, and performing well in a narrow get-the-puck forward sort of way. RiversQ pointed out the other day the low shots on goal, and someone else pointed out a bunch of offensive zone faceoffs, so it isn't all good, but I'm reasonably satisfied with his on-ice performance (Steen giveaway notwithstanding).
Staying in shape would seem to be an issue, and there aren't many excuses for that, but Penner's bright and he'll figure it out.
I thought MacT was calling Penner out on work ethic and that, not about being in shape? Penner was one of the fittest Oilers out of training camp.
On Penner - I didn't watch the interview so I am just going off of what was mentioned here but him still being in a pissy mood about the situation is just the next natural step in what went on.
That was the whole point wasn't it?
You call a player out to find out one of two things. To confirm that he will never be anything more than an ambivalent hockey player, in which case does it matter if he holds a grudge or not? Why would they want to keep him if this is the best he can deliver?
Or he gets the message and it marks a turning point in his career in which case his grudge or hard feelings will be short lived because the results of playing up to his capabilities will be too much for him to ignore.
The schedule - It's probably premature to project the Oilers aginst the entire league at this stage of the season.
An obvious case in point would be by looking at Minnesota. They are like a photo negative of the Oilers in that Edmonton has traditionally made a lot of hay down the stretch. Not that you want to depend on it but it is what it is.
Minnesota on the other hand seems to always light the league on fire in the first few months of the season only to fade after Christmas. Look at what their goals against is projected to be based on their current stats. It just isn't realistic that they will keep their pace, which would reconfirm their trend.
Interesting enough though, if you compare this years squad to where they were at this time last year you see an even more optimistic picture.
This year after 19 games they have 20 points, this time last year they had 13.
Although the biggest question remains how the hell did they manage 20 points based on how they have actually played their games this year...still a very hard team to figure out.
Does anyone really think Kz will fire macT? I still think he coaches this entire season, and if they make the playoffs and maybe win a round he stays on, but if they miss or get destroyed early first round, he goes upstairs and we get a new coach next season???? And ya, if Garon is the starter, why isn't he starting? Kelly Hrudey was talking about how Garon lacks mental toughness and how Roli is a stud, I dunno, you all are alot closer to the team....do you hear any of this or is it just cause Mact loves roli? I think Roli has been solid, but I've never seen a starter lose his job SO FAST. Doesn't make any sense.
November 20 2008, 09:27AM
Milli - It doesn't make a lot of sense to not start Garon, but David S above refers to a comment by Louise, and Louise really knows her stuff. I believe her when she says that Garon has had the flu.
I think MacTavish will be fired if the Oilers are sitting in 8th (or lower) at about the midpoint of the season. I just don't think the team will be sitting in 8th.
I guess I am alone in thinking that it makes sense for Garon to not be getting games right now. Flu or no flu.
Rollie has played quite well since he took over for JDD. Even in the losses he has been very good. And this coming from a guy that is not a fan of his.
The problem I see with constantly switching back and forth after the first loss is that it gives an impression that the problems are in net. Which is clearly not what is ailing the club right now. By continuing with the same guy between the pipes it shines the light back on the players.
The only objection I have with Garon is that MacT had some pretty pointed comments about him after the Pittsburgh game and I would have really liked to have seen Garon get a chance to shove it back in MacT's face. But that time has passed.
Context isn't using 6 and 7 game samples.
Someone wins tonight and all the sudden they're 1.2 PPG instead of 0.8 PPG.
That's not context, that's a reach from a MacTavish lackey.
MacTavish is the weak link in Edmonton and always will be.
The idiot didn't even know that Peca was supposed to be in a checking role until Peca had a meeting with him.
MacTavish has never had success with the PP and never had success with goalies. Both are two big problems again this year. Nothing has changed and nothing ever will until MacTavish is taking out back and skulled.
"The Oilers are currently on pace for an eight place finish, which would have to be considered an underachievement. However, that's largely based on their home record, which consists of a grand total of five games."
And here I was thinking it was because Nilsson, Gagner, Horcoff, Cole, Penner, Coglinao are all having slump seasons. This team has bigger issues than scheduling.
David S: Never mentioned it last year but I love the error stat. I noticed that some of the guys around lowetide's blog gave you a hard time but personally I think it's a lot better than most of the stuff that they cling to at behind the net. You working on it again this year?
November 20 2008, 01:33PM
Braden: I love it when the Peca/MacTavish story is trotted out because it assumes that Peca didn't play like crap in a checking role for the first half of the season. Go back and look at the game charts and you'll see what I'm talking about.
If you look closely, you'll see that we're making the same argument and that you misunderstood my comment RE: "largely based on their home record". The sample there is so small that we can't draw much from it. What we can draw from the 14-game road sample is that MacTavish is coaching a top-5 road team in the WC, which certainly meets expectations.
Also RE: the powerplay, I love how guys harp on what is a league-average unit. The real problem has been the PK, which was always a MacTavish strength. The problems there, IMO, are poor use of existing resources (Pouliot, Cogliano vs. Penner, Gagner) and the departure of Marty Reasoner and Jarret Stoll, both of whom were mainstays.
November 20 2008, 01:34PM
Also, RE: the error stat, if, say Visnovsky and Strudwick are on the ice together, how many passes do you think each makes? If Visnovsky's handling the puck at three times the rate Strudwick is, and generally doing a good job of it, but makes one bad pass that ends up in the back of the net, what does the error stat say about it?
It says that Strudwick's a better defensive player than Visnovsky, when in point of fact the issue is that Strudwick isn't anywhere near Visnovsky's calibre in terms of puck movement.
Their record isn't reflective of our play. I've mentioned this every time I've posted - the current record shouldn't be the concern - it's the lack of preperation and motivation on the ice. The fact that the Oilers haven't put 60 minutes of effort into more than 2 games this season is a bit disturbing. Look at the last Detroit game - no one expects us to beat Detroit every time out, but a little effort in looking like an NHL calibre team would be a nice start.

A Dark and Handsome Modern Wood Kitchen
You don't have to be restricted when designing a space so it's kid-proof. "Everyone thinks a family room needs to have dark upholstery because it's where the kids hang out, but I didn't want to go too far with this camel color," designer Pat Healing says of the family room in Scarsdale, New York. The cushions of the U-shaped sectional are covered in Holland & Sherry's Rive Gauche Mohair.
This Manhattan apartment's family room is an extension of the kitchen and serves as a TV room and breakfast area. Designer Faye Cone integrated antiques into her built-in storage unit, which incorporates the door of an old painted cupboard. "It holds linen, china, silver, the TV, and a liquor cabinet. Space is so tight in New York you can't live without built-ins, but at the same time you don't to feel like you're in a ship," Cone says.

That 2nd and 3rd was as depressing.. reminders of the rangers game the leafs are not in the same league as some of these teams.. #tank2013 #stopwinninformacinnon
ps. why is fraser and holzer in the lineup and gardiner in the AHL/out of the lineup limbo thats another major problem in the personnel choices
February 05 2013, 03:17PM
I really like the blurb about you can play. Fabulous.
February 05 2013, 04:19PM
Great LFR as usual. Yeah, no idea what is going on with this lineup. Something not right. Great transition to If You Can Play. Good question on acceptance, and my answer is no, I would not accept a team mate who does not accept a player b/c of sexual orientation, religion, etc. If he can play the game, he can play the game!

The Emery County swimming pool is under construction at the site of approximately 800 North and 100 East. This is just off the Spartan Center street. Hughes Construction is the contractor for the pool project.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said the project is still moving along although the cold weather has slowed the progress somewhat. In commission meeting on Jan. 22 a change order was approved which reduced the price of the rebar for a savings to the county.
A pool committee has been meeting for several months concerning the pool colors and the toys the pool will be equipped with.
Commissioner Sitterud reported the block walls will begin to arise with the interior wall being constructed first. There will be a 15-foot wall hanging in the air. "It's a big, huge wall," said Commissioner Sitterud.
The pool will be a state of the art facility with an indoor pool and an outdoor pool. The outdoor pool will have a large toy play structure with slides and a current channel as well as fountains to spray the children.
The facility will have two large dressing rooms one for women and one for men as well as a family dressing room area, for parents with small children.
The two pools will be separated by a large partition folding door with clear panels for visibility between the two pools. There will be an area with a snack bar and a spot for video games.
Commissioner Sitterud wants the pool to be used for large activities and there will be a birthday room where birthday parties or other gatherings can be held. Groups will be able to use the pool facility for family parties, church groups, businesses, etc. The pool can be rented by these groups for private parties. Private parties will be able to barbeque and use the party room facilities.
The pool will be an asset for the Emery County School District who donated the land on which the pool is being constructed. The school district is paying for the parking lot and the score board for the facility. Emery High is one of only two 3A schools without a swimming team program.
The school will now be able to host meets and the necessary equipment for these meets will be installed such as the timers and lane dividers. The pool can also be used for school parties. Plans are underway for each of the elementary schools to be able to use the pool as well as the older students.
Green River High and Book Cliff Elementary students will be bused to use the new pool twice each year.
Emery High's school colors, gold, black and grey have been incorporated into the pool's decorating scheme with the choices for the lockers, walls and other features of the pool.
The indoor pool will boast a diving board for swimmers. A basketball hoop may also be installed for some indoor style pool basketball. The indoor pool will also have a volleyball net so the pool goers can play volleyball. The pool will range from 4-10 ft. deep. The pool will have a wrought iron decorative fence around its perimeter.
The estimated date of completion will be summer of 2008. The Castle Dale pool closed in 2006 and the county was without a pool for 2007. Commissioners look forward to the opening of the new pool to serve the recreational needs of the Emery County citizens.

Heart disease & stroke: Beware of the 'Salty Six', American Heart Association warns
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association is increasing awareness of sodium and the "Salty Six" – common foods that may be loaded with excess sodium that can increase your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Eating too many salty foods can create all sorts of health problems, including high blood pressure. But did you know a lot of common foods are packed with excess sodium? It's not just the french fries and potato chips you need to be careful with.
"Excess sodium in our diets has less to do with what we're adding to our food and more to do with what's already in the food," Dr. Linda Van Horn, a research nutritionist at Northwestern University who volunteers at the AHA, said in a press release. "The average individual is getting more than double the amount of sodium that they need, but there are ways to improve their sodium intake under their control."
In a recent survey conducted by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, consumers understand a small amount of sodium should be consumed daily, but the exact amount is not understood. The average American consumes about 3,400 milligrams of sodium a day – more than twice the 1,500 milligrams recommended by the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. That's in large part because of our food supply; more than 75 percent of our sodium consumption comes from processed and restaurant foods.
Here's a quick look at the Salty Six, the top sources for sodium in today's diet:
Breads and rolls. We all know breads and rolls add carbohydrates and calories, but salt, too? It can be deceiving because a lot of bread doesn't even taste salty, but one piece can have as much as 230 milligrams of sodium. That's about 15 percent of the recommended amount from only one slice, and it adds up quickly. Have two sandwiches in one day? The bread alone could put you close to 1,000 milligrams of sodium.
Cold cuts and cured meats. Even foods that would otherwise be considered healthy may have high levels of sodium. Deli or pre-packaged turkey can contain as much as 1,050 milligrams of sodium. It's added to most cooked meats so they don't spoil after a few days.
Pizza. OK, everybody knows pizza's not exactly a health food, because of cholesterol, fat and calories. But pizza's plenty salty, too. One slice can contain up to 760 milligrams of sodium, so two can send you over the daily recommendation.
Poultry. Surely chicken can't be bad for you, right? Sodium levels in poultry can vary based on preparation methods. You will find a wide range of sodium in poultry products, so it is important to choose wisely. Reasonable portions of lean, skinless, grilled chicken are ok but may still contain an added sodium solution. And when you start serving up the chicken nuggets, the sodium also adds up. Just 3 ounces of frozen and breaded nuggets can add nearly 600 milligrams of sodium.
Soup. This is another one of those foods that seems perfectly healthy. It can't be bad if Mom gave it to you for the sniffles, right? But when you take a look at the nutrition label it's easy to see how too much soup can quickly turn into a sodium overload. One cup of canned chicken noodle soup can have up to 940 milligrams of sodium. And remember that soup cans typically contain more than one serving.
Sandwiches. This covers everything from grilled cheese to hamburgers. We already know that breads and cured meats may be heavy on the sodium. Add them together, then add a little ketchup or mustard and you can easily surpass 1,500 milligrams of sodium in one sitting.

pyBCD - 1.1
Chris Uzal (c4)
Why would you want to use a binary clock?
Because if you use Arabic numerals... then the terrorists have already won. :p
Download this binary clock today and support freedom loving peoples everywhere.
The "binary clock" is a great exercise in programming. When you're already familiar with programming theory, you need something slightly bigger than "hello world."
This is my first published python project. You can import this file to use the get_correct_digit function in your own work. I've licensed it as GPL 3 so I look forward to seeing interesting additions to it (if that ever happens.)
Small changes.
Primarily, the links from previous versions are dead.
The one below are living.
Celebrate life.
As usual, you can resize your window, re color your clock red, green or blue (space bar) and choose a 12 or 24 hour format.
You read the clock from left to right as you do with terrorist numerals. Tens place, ones place for the hours. Tens place, ones place for the minutes. For each column, you add up from the bottom. The rows are valued one, two, four and eight.
11:35 PM would have the first two columns lit on the first row only. The third column would have the first and second row lit. The fourth column would have the first and third (one plus four) lit.
This will work on any operating system to the best to my knowledge. Just add python and pygame.
