QinetiQ has finally spotted a customer for its SPO millimetre wave crowd-scanning equipment.
The US Transport Safety Administration has placed an order for 12 of the scanners, with an option to order more. QinetiQ confirmed this was the "first substantial sale" for the technology.
The TSA has inked the deal following a trial of the technology on New York City's Staten Island Ferry system.
Qinetiq said the TSA would be using the devices – all 12 of them - in transportation choke points such as airports and train and bus stations.
"We recognise this is a modest initial order," said a QinetiQ spokesman.
The company refused to discuss the pricing on the order, or whether subsequent orders would allow it to start dropping the price per unit to a level where authorities could make the technology ubiquitous, rather than popping it up in potential troublespots in a cat and mouse game with any terrorists who may or may not be plotting an attack that day.
QinetiQ's millimetre wave technology is already in use in scanners at the UK's channel ports to spot illegal immigrants hiding under lorries and the like. In this case, however, a human is using the scanner and looking for suspicious images.
In the SPO system the human factor is largely removed from the equation. As QinetiQ puts it, the millimetre wave technology is "combined with sophisticated software algorithms".
It adds: "The technology detects and measures the waves naturally emitted by the human body and determines if there are any 'cold' objects, such as metals, plastics and ceramics concealed under a person's clothing. Suspicious objects trigger a red light on the display monitor, prompting the operator to search the individual." ®

It's a fluid process, with many meriting consideration, but as we motor toward March Madness 2014, here are the leading candidates, listed alphabetically, for the top college basketball coach this season.
The Final Five:
Tony Bennett, Virginia
Though somehow they may be seeded lower than Duke and Syracuse in March Madness, Virginia won the ACC with a week to play. No "expert" expected this, and the Cavs have been under-appreciated all season.
The Cavaliers finished the season with a 25-6 record and were 16-2 in the ACC.
Larry Brown, SMU
An under-the-radar 2012 hiring of the only coach to win both an NCAA and NBA championship proved savvy. The 73-year-old took a campus more known for a 1987 football "death penalty" and the George W. Bush Presidential Library to a 23-win, Top 25 hoops team, which didn't lose consecutive games until the final week of play.
The Mustangs finished 23-8 and were 12-6 in the American Athletic Conference.
Gregg Marshall, Wichita State
Marshall's team followed up a remarkable 2013 Final Four appearance with an undefeated 2014 season. In any conference that's outstanding and a spot as a number one seed should require no additional information — unless you're a sheltered member of the mainstream sports media.
Marshall led the Shockers to a 34-0 record and they finished 18-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.
Greg McDermott, Creighton
Unranked preseason and picked fourth as new Big East members, Creighton was supposed to be down this year. Losing their starting center, and a knee injury to sixth-year point guard Grant Gibbs hurt, but with leadership from the best player in America, the Bluejays won 24 games. Also undefeated at home, the Bluejays could be on their way to a three seed Sunday.
The Bluejays finished 24-6, and were second in the Big East with a 14-4 record.
Tim Miles, Nebraska
Nebraska was picked dead last in the B1G preseason poll. In just his second season, Miles brought the Huskers to the top half of arguably nation's best conference, including many more impressive road wins than the Blue Devils or Orange. Downtown Lincoln's beautiful new arena – where UNL lost just once – was packed every night in a city more known for clinging to its underachieving football program.
The Huskers finished the regular season with a 19-11 record and were 11-7 in the Big Ten.
[poll id="476″]
Honorable Mention;
John Beilein, Michigan: Winners of the nation's toughest conference despite losing arguably their best player early in the season and two others to the 2013 NBA Draft.
Jim Crews, St. Louis: Though the Billikens, unranked preseason, struggled down the stretch, they were a Top 10 team deep into February and won a league that could get more teams in the field than the ACC.
Billy Donovan, Florida: With 23 straight triumphs, the Gators became the first to ever to go undefeated in SEC conference play, finishing 29-2 overall, in a year where nearly every other "major" team stumbled often.
Steve Fisher, San Diego State: Won 90 percent of his games, including a stirring finale, and another title in the rugged Mountain West. The Aztecs were also the only team to beat the Kansas in Lawrence this season.
Bo Ryan, Wisconsin: Undefeated in the non-conference, including a win in Charlottesville, second in the Big Ten, 26-5 overall.
Bill Self, Kansas: Despite losing all five starters, KU won the nation's deepest conference (for the 10th consecutive time), and have a decent shot at a No. 1 seed.
Jay Wright, Villanova: If Creighton didn't exist, the Wildcats would have just one loss all season. They're Big East champs despite being chosen fourth in October, and are headed for a one or two seed in NCAA Tournament.

text: Uppsala University researchers have led a recent study that compared the DNA of identical twins of different age. They could show that structural modifications of the DNA, where large or small DNA segments change direction, are duplicated or completely lost are more common in older people. The results may in part explain why the immune system is impaired with age. During a person's life, continuous alterations in the cells' DNA occur. The alterations can be changes to the individual building blocks of the DNA but more common are rearrangements where large DNA segments change place or direction, or are duplicated or completely lost. In the present study the scientists examined normal blood cells from identical (monozygotic) twins in different age groups and looked for large or smaller DNA rearrangements. The results showed that large rearrangements were only present in the group older than 60 years. The most common rearrangement was that a DNA region, for instance a part of a chromosome, had been lost in some of the blood cells. Certain, almost identical, rearrangements were found in several individuals and some of these could be correlated with a known blood disease in which the bone marrow's capacity to produce new blood cells is disturbed. Rearrangements were also found in the younger age group. The changes were smaller and less complex but the researchers could also in this case show that the number of rearrangements correlated with age. - We were surprised to find that as many as 3.5 percent of healthy individuals older than 60 years carry such large genetic alterations. We believe that what we see today is only the tip of the iceberg and that this type of acquired genetic variation might be much more common, says Jan Dumanski, professor at the Department of Immunology, Genetics and Pathology and one of the authors of the paper. Out of the cell types in blood only white blood cells contain DNA. The researchers believe that the increased number of cells with DNA alterations among elderly can have a role in the senescence of the immune system. If the genetic alterations lead to an increased growth of the cells that have acquired them, these cells will increase in number in relation to other white blood cells. The consequence might be a reduced diversity among the white blood cells and thereby an impaired immune system. The study is a collaboration between researchers at Uppsala University and Hudson-Alpha Institute for Biotechnology, as well as Karolinska Institutet and other research centres in USA, Poland, the Netherlands and Norway. The study was mainly financed by Ellison Medical Foundation. The results are published on-line in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

The children at William J. Johnston Middle School in Colchester had a simple, yet heartfelt, message to veterans on Wednesday: Thank you.
The entire student body, faculty and staff assembled in the school's gym to pay tribute to local veterans, some of whom attended the half-hour ceremony, which featured the reading of names of servicemen and women related to the students.
"The names were of veterans connected to this school," Principal Chris Bennett told the children. "They are all related to you."
Slide shows set to patriotic songs showed the faces of service members past and present, as the students watched in respectful silence. Bennett asked the students to remember the school's theme this year — "Heroes" — and to think about what makes a true hero.
One such person was the school's namesake, William J. Johnston, who served in World War II and received a Purple Heart and the Medal of Honor.
"Always be humbly grateful to those brave patriots," Bennett said.
Several of the students played important roles in the proceedings. Members of the choir sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," and the band played a medley of patriotic tunes. Two students also played "Echo Taps" on trumpets.
Members of the student council carried the flags of each of the branches of the armed forces in the opening and closing processions.
"It feels amazing to represent our school and our town's veterans, who have helped us to be free," Will Pipicelli, 13, said. He carried one of the flags.
Veterans present, including Walter Tallman, appreciated the gesture from the school.
"We're glad they do it and recognize the veterans," he said.
Bennett also urged the students to follow the example of the soldiers, and think about service to their school or community.
"Find a place where you can make a difference, and maybe even become someone's hero," he said.

- ingredients
- ages
I've using this product since a long time ago, and I feel my teeth are clean, bright and healthy. I recommend this product to anyone in caring for their teeth.
I'm trying to reduce my consumption of plastic, so this fit the bill. Toothpaste itself taste good and has the right consistency. I just wish the cap wasn't plastic, and that the bottle wasn't wrapped in plastic for shipping. I also don't understand why the glass bottle has to be so expensive and doesn't come in larger sizes.
Great gingery taste but not too strong. Lasts ages and natural ingredients that I am happy with.
Excellent. The ginger toothpaste with baking soda will keep ur teeth white. And ginger is a anti-inflammatory and can keep ur gums free from inflammation.
The products are excellent. The one suggestion is to address out-of-stock issues for an order. Amazon offers to ship (at no additional charge) when the out-of-stock item becomes available with an estimation of that time frame, and having the buyer then decide whether to include the item or not.

On national MLK day, Americans for Prosperity (AFP) launched a 5-state, $6 million TV and social media campaign aimed at the President in the run up to this year's election. AFP says it will focus its efforts in North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin, spending $1 million in our state. ABC's Jake Tapper reported that the Koch Brothers (David Koch is the AFP founder) are among the campaign donors and don't forget that conservative, deep pockets Art Pope, president of Variety Wholesalers based in Henderson, is a board of Director for the national AFP.
For those unfamiliar with AFP, it describes itself as a grassroots organization advocating for public policies that "champion the principles of entrepreneurship and fiscal and regulatory restraint." For example, they are responsible for the attack on then President Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones, creating Tea Party rallies against global warming policies with funding from big oil and supporting activities in Wisconsin to deny collective-bargaining rights to public-sector workers (where Koch Industries was among the largest contributors to Governor Scott Walker's campaign). Does this sound like grassroots to you?
ABC's Tapper fact checked the Anti-Obama ad and provides a critique. While I cannot deny that the Solyndra loan had its problems, AFP is using it to continue its attack on clean energy and government subsidies. Yet AFP is fine with big oil, gas, coal and nuclear subsidies from the feds – subsidies that continue our fossil fuel addiction and in the case of nuclear are very high risk guaranteed loans.

Yogurt and Dill Crackers From 'The Nourished Kitchen'
Homemade crackers are a great baking project—they're not terribly difficult to make and they taste miles better that most of what you can find at a regular grocery store. These yogurt dill crackers from Jennifer McGruther's The Nourished Kitchen are no exception. Made with whole wheat flour soaked in yogurt, they're tender, tangy, and full of sweet wheat-y flavor. McGruther soaks wheat flour when she isn't baking with sourdough starter to help improve the digestibility of the grain and to improve texture. Even better, the well-rested dough rolls out like a dream, making these some of the easiest crackers I've ever made.
Why I picked this recipe: Homemade crackers are one of my favorite weekend projects.
What worked: Soaking the flour indeed kept the crumb tender and infused the crackers with bright, tangy yogurt flavor.
What didn't: At 450 degrees, the crackers tended to brown before they were completely cooked through. I'd lower the temperature to 425 next time and increase the baking temperature a bit to ensure fully cooked crackers.
Suggested tweaks: Dill and yogurt are a great pair, but you could also try using dried thyme or oregano. If you can't find whole wheat pastry flour, you could try using white whole wheat flour or a blend of white pastry flour and regular whole wheat flour.

- Yield:makes about 5 dozen 1 1/2-inch crackers
- Active time: 45 minutes
- Total time:9 to 13 hours
- Rated:
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour, plus more for working the dough
- 1/2 teaspoon finely ground unrefined sea salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried dill
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, 4 tablespoons at room temperature, 2 tablespoons melted
- 1/2 cup yogurt
Put the flour into a large mixing bowl and whisk in the salt and dill. Beat in the 4 tablespoons of room‑temperature butter until the flour resembles cornmeal in texture. Beat in the yogurt until the mixture forms a thick dough. Cover the bowl tightly and allow it to rest in a warm place in your kitchen for at least 8 and up to 12 hours.
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 450°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into four portions. Flour your work surface and roll out each piece of dough to an even 1/16-inch thickness, then use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into 1 1/2-inch squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1/2 inch apart.
Brush the squares with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter and prick them with the tines of a fork to prevent them from puffing as they bake. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the crackers are just tinged with gold around their edges. Pull them from the oven and cool them on a wire rack. Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Canadian Fed Cup tennis player Sharon Fichman of Toronto and her teammates were already celebrating winning their April 20 Fed Cup tie against Slovakia in Quebec City prior Fichman to taking to the court for her doubles match with teammate Gabriela Dabrowski.
With last week's Fed Cup 3-1 win in the best-of-five match Fed Cup World Group playoff over the Slovaks, Canada made tennis history with its victory by advancing to the world group of eight nations that will compete in 2015 for the Fed Cup championship. This marks the first time that Canada has reached the world group since Fed Cup play expanded to include 70 nations in 1990.
The only negative result for the Canadians was the loss by Dabrowski and Fichman in the final doubles match. However, the defeat was a "dead rubber," meaning the result wasn't necessary for Canada to advance.
Dabrowski and Fichman put up a good fight against the Slovakian team of Janette Husarrova and Anna Schmidlova. They lost the first set 6-4, but rebounded with a 7-5 win in the second, only to lose in the third set tie-breaker 11-9 after Fichman made errors on two forehand shots at 9-9 .
"I'm not pleased with the loss, but it was more important to me that our team won and made history for Canada. Fed Cup is very special for me. Unlike the individual tournaments, I heard everyone screaming and yelling for us, and it's an atmosphere that can't be duplicated. It's a lot more fun to celebrate winning with your team mates than celebrating alone," Fichman said after her match
Fed Cup is a year-round global competition for women in tennis, similar to Davis Cup for men.
As Canada's top singles player, Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., clinched the Fed Cup tie with her 7-6(6), 6-3 win over Jana Cepelova, Fichman and her teammates, all sporting Canadian flags on their faces, hugged Bouchard in an on-court celebration.
"We matured as a team, defeating four nations in a row over two years – Columbia, Ukraine, Serbia and Slovakia – to advance to the world group," said Canadian Fed Cup captain Sylvain Bruneau.
"Sharon was very important for us to advance. Her crucial single and doubles wins last year against Columbia and Ukraine put us in a strong position," he added. "At only 23, Sharon is still young and can play both singles and doubles for us, and our depth is important to compete with the strong teams we will be facing in 2015."
So far, 2014 has been a banner year for Fichman. She's Canada's second-best female tennis player (with a ranking of 87) in singles and the top Canadian doubles player (ranked No. 56) as well.
This year, she has defeated four top 50 singles players at tournaments, including her close friend Shahar Peer of Israel, to reach her career-high ranking in singles.
Fichman has always made herself available to play for Canada, even when it meant she would lose prize money and ranking points by forgoing tournaments to play Fed Cup. She's also the youngest person ever, at age 14, to play Fed Cup for Canada, beginning in 2005.
"I have absolutely no regrets about playing Fed Cup, even if I have to bypass tournaments. The experience of sharing the ups and downs with your teammates is such a contrast to what we normally do, since tennis is otherwise an individual sport. Playing for Canada makes me stronger mentally, as well as being proud of all the milestones I've achieved".
Fichman also made history as the youngest athlete ever, at 14, to win a gold medal for her nation at the Maccabiah Games in 2005.
"I felt the importance of playing for Canada even then. What made playing the Maccabiah Games even more special was sharing my Jewish heritage and developing friendships as there was more to going to Israel than playing my matches," she said.
"I have citizenship for both Canada and Israel and have so many relatives there that I feel so much at home there as I do in Toronto".
Fichman is the first Jewish player to play Fed Cup for Canada since Vicki Berner of Vancouver did so from 1965 to 1968.
Fichman finished her junior career ranked fifth in the world in 2006, winning the prestigious Orange Bowl junior title in 2003.
She was born in Toronto two years after her parents immigrated to Canada from Israel in 1988. Her parents came to Israel after leaving Romania in 1983. She started playing tennis at age five and starting wining tournaments at age six.

Whether your business is a big fish or a small-fry home office, you can get hacked just the same, and the stakes are higher than a few canceled credit cards. Here are a few tips to protect your users and your networks--steps that even enterprise-class security specialists may slip up on.
Slideshow: 11 Security Companies to Watch
Slideshow: Mobile Security: How Gadgets Evolved
Know Who Might Be Targeted--and How and Why
With the recent news of attacks on U.S. companies including Google, many business owners might be thinking, "That wouldn't happen to me--I don't have anything so valuable on my servers that an attacker would go after it." Many attacks aren't targeted at all, but are the result of self-selection. That is, the attacker casts a wide net by sending thousands of messages to a harvested list of e-mail addresses, and the ones that respond--either by clicking a link or via a ping-back embedded image in the e-mail--are the self-selected targets to pursue.
Targeted attacks--or "spear phishing," as they have come to be known--are a more dangerous animal. A good attacker performs reconnaissance by scanning a target organization's Website, quarterly SEC filings (if a public organization), and press releases to find names of key personnel and e-mail addresses.
If that fails, attackers will probably prowl industry conferences and public speaking events (slideshows are almost always archived on the conference Website with the speaker's name, title, and e-mail address); they'll also check out social networking sites--it's easier for a hacker to bait the hook by figuring out who's in charge through Facebook fan pages and LinkedIn profiles.
While your average spammer is looking for quantity, a spear phisherman is looking for quality. Any key executive that regularly handles sensitive documents or has elevated permissions on a company's file server is a potential victim. Although you might jump to the top of the organization chart and think that the CEO is where spear phishermen would focus their lasers, consider your CEO's executive assistant, as well. This person is accustomed to receiving hundreds of e-mail messages a day for the CEO from unfamiliar senders, and is likely charged with sorting all inbound messages. The assistant is more likely to be stressed, behind a deadline, and pressured to avoid delaying important messages--and thus more likely to make a poor computer security decision.
For similar reasons, a general counsel or staff attorney at an organization is also a good target, especially with an Adobe PDF attack. Attorneys regularly exchange large PDF briefings between one another and between companies. It wouldn't be a stretch to imagine sending a mock cease-and-desist e-mail message from a spoofed address of your favorite influential intellectual-property law firm and include a PDF with a malicious payload. The attorney wouldn't think twice about opening such a message; and once the payload within the PDF is executed, the attorney's machine is effectively "owned" by the attacker.
Don't Take the Bait
Spear-phishing attacks aiming for competitive intelligence or corporate espionage are likely to have a custom-tailored message (e-mail, IM, tweet, and so on), such that the victim is more likely to take the bait. A top nuclear physicist at a research institution is unlikely to follow through on a link advertising replica Rolex watches or natural male enhancement, but if the message is inviting the victim to be a speaker on a panel at a well-known nuclear physics symposium, the bait will be all but irresistible.
Although you might think that in 2010, most users (and especially tech workers) would be suspicious of any password reset or messages declaring that "we are improving our security," a stunning number of them will still be fooled by such schemes. My company, Special Ops Security, as part of its assessments with organizations and government agencies, will run controlled experiments where we intentionally phish targeted individuals at a company and track both click-through and captured passwords on an encrypted Web site.
Two colleagues of mine have even started their own self-service portal for CIOs to run mock "spear phishing" of their employees at PhishMe.com. It's a particularly eye-opening exercise, and I highly recommend it.
Use Unique E-Mail Addresses to Keep Password Reset E-Mails at Bay
If you don't believe that you would fall for a targeted e-mail discussing your upcoming new product or a malicious PDF with a class-action settlement notice, there is the ever-present category of password reset and social networking notification messages. Most Websites, as an unfortunate necessity of large scale, have a "forgot password?" function that sends e-mails to allow you to obtain access to your account.
Additionally, we are trained to expect notification e-mails from sites informing us of new friend requests, or photos of ourselves that others have posted. This is a particularly enticing proposition for the human psyche--how can I resist clicking on "have you seen this hilarious picture of you from last night?"
How is one to know if Facebook or MySpace truly sent the e-mail or if it is spoofed? Eventually there will be enough adoption of electronic signatures and DNS-level security to make these spoofed messages ineffective. In the meantime, there is one method that I employ to make sure a message is genuine. Each social networking (or e-commerce, airline, or whatever) Website that I use has its own unique e-mail address for me.
If you are fortunate enough to have your own domain name and a mail server (Google Apps is great for this), you can create email@example.com and email@example.com. If you receive any notification message purporting to be from a site but the "to" address does not match, consider that message to be highly suspect and delete it immediately.
For those of us without the luxury of their own domain, or who are worried that someone might be able to easily guess their email@example.com addressing scheme, a few e-mail masquerading services are available. My favorite is Sneakemail.com, which lets you create an unlimited number of e-mail aliases for a modest $2 per month. This way, you can use one unique e-mail per Website, and all the messages get forwarded to your "real" mailbox. The service even handles replies, so that the Website never has your real address.
If you receive a password reset notification directly to your work e-mail instead of your unique address for that site, you know it is at best spam and at worst a phishing attempt. As a nice side effect, you'll be able to catch unscrupulous Websites that share your information with third parties. I once received several unsolicited offers from a company to the e-mail address that I had provided only to a particular airline's frequent flyer club. Needless to say, I contacted the club's privacy department, provided logs, and promptly canceled that account.
Don't Click on Anything in E-Mail
As a rule, I don't click on links within e-mail, ever. Not even from known senders. Well-formatted HTML e-mails should have a URL just below the big "Click here" button, usually in a section that says "if your e-mail program doesn't allow links, copy and paste the following into your browser." If you still can't find the URL, switch your mail reader to display plain-text (in Gmail, you can use the "Show original" option from the reply menu) and find it there.
If I really want to click through, I will highlight the URL and paste it first into the Google search bar of my Web browser. If nothing else, this removes any HTML or rich-text formatting that my clipboard picked up and leaves me with a pristine plain-text URL. This strips away most of the obfuscation tricks such as www.yahoo.com.com.attacker.evil.ru, where you might not realize that the DNS (domain name server) will read a URL from right to left (meaning you are visiting a site at evil.ru) and humans will read the URL from left-to-right (perhaps thinking they are visiting a sub-section of yahoo.com).
Furthermore, submitting the URL to a search engine also protects me from homograph attacks where someone could send a link to www.paypa1.com (the numeral 1 instead of lowercase "L"). It would be obvious from the first few links that something was not quite right, though Internationalized Domain Names can add complications. Total cost to allow Google to run a sanity check on the link and remove rich-text formatting: zero.
Patch Early, Patch Often
Patching is absolutely necessary and (almost always) absolutely free. It's amazing to have to say this, but the first thing to check--right now--is whether you are up to date on all your patching. Set an iCal/Outlook reminder and do it monthly. A good time would be the second Wednesday of each month, since Microsoft releases its security updates on the second Tuesday. Or you can tie the task mentally to paying your mortgage or rent--as you're writing that check, also "check" for updates.
I don't mean just double-click on Windows Update, either. If you haven't activated Microsoft Update (a variation of Windows Update), you won't receive any Microsoft Office updates. But don't stop there! Make sure you visit Adobe to update your Flash plug-in and PDF Reader software. Firefox does a good job of pushing out updates without user intervention, but it won't upgrade you to a major new release, so check the Firefox site as well.
I continue to light candles and wait for the day when Microsoft will open up its Windows Update infrastructure for all Windows software publishers to push their updates through one centralized location, automated, and with just one click. Until that day, try using software like Secunia's Personal Software Inspector (free for personal users) that will scan all software on your computer and give you a consolidated look at where security patches are missing.
I've audited networks with IT managers who were quite proud that they update their antivirus signatures every 5 minutes, but they had critical servers with stock versions of Internet Explorer and Adobe, and missing OS patches from 2007! Some reports have claimed that the success of the attack on Google was due to an employee using an outdated Web browser.
Just last week, Google announced that they would be dropping IE 6 as a supported browser from their Google Apps and Google Docs services. When manufacturers release newer, more secure versions of software (I'm looking right at you, Internet Explorer 6 and 7 users), upgrade to the latest version. The 5 minutes that you spend watching the installation progress bar is well worth it in terms of the security provided by such newer technologies.
Hardware needs updating, too. Inventory your hardware and check up on firmware updates (just as important as software patches). Twice a year, look on manufacturer Websites for any hardware with a network port--not just your routers and switches, but also your multifunction copiers, your restaurant POS terminals, your Blu-ray player, your PBX, and your Twitter-enabled coffee pot.
Don't Let Bob Stop You From Running a Secure Network
Customers often claim that their servers aren't patched because "Bob says so" and he is the Dev Manager or the VP of Sales, and their custom application won't run on the latest service pack or requires an ancient Web browser with all security features disabled. This is an unacceptable business risk in my opinion. If a particular division within the company runs software that precludes them from running the latest security patches, IT needs to isolate those servers in your network the way that it would segregate classified networks from unclassified networks.
Furthermore, unpatched servers should never have access to the Internet. Staff should access these dangerously unpatched servers only via dedicated computers (not the same ones that are used to read e-mail and browse the Internet) on a dedicated "less secure" network.
Unless businesses take information security seriously, they cannot avoid information theft and costly outages. Jars of peanut butter that have a small chance of being tainted are pulled off store shelves within hours of a recall starting; a financial server with known vulnerabilities that processes paychecks for hundreds of employees is allowed to operate for months. Nobody should run an unpatched server just because Bob says so.
The P of P2P Is Personal, Not Business
I'm going to say something unpopular: P2P has no business on your work computer. The risk of malicious software from P2P (peer to peer) networks far outweighs any legitimate need for BitTorrent or KaZaa. On your personal computer, I still don't advise its use, but I can understand that there are several legitimate reasons for using it. Use reputable Websites to obtain shareware applications.
If you must participate in P2P, use a separate, nonadministrator user account for those functions. Never run software that you download from a P2P network in your administrator account, and always scan these downloads with several antivirus packages. Virustotal.com is a good place to do a quick scan of a dubious download if you don't already have a solid security package such as Norton Internet Security 2010. If you're a tech-savvy power user, run P2P software in a virtual machine to insulate your host operating system.

A one-dimensional model of the pressing section of a paper machine including dynamic capillary effects (2011)
This work presents the dynamic capillary pressure model (Hassanizadeh, Gray, 1990, 1993a) adapted for the needs of paper manufacturing process simulations. The dynamic capillary pressure-saturation relation is included in a one-dimensional simulation model for the pressing section of a paper machine. The one-dimensional model is derived from a two-dimensional model by averaging with respect to the vertical direction. Then, the model is discretized by the finite volume method and solved by Newton's method. The numerical experiments are carried out for parameters typical for the paper layer. The dynamic capillary pressure-saturation relation shows significant influence on the distribution of water pressure. The behaviour of the solution agrees with laboratory experiments (Beck, 1983).
Approximation property of multipoint flux approximation (MPFA) approach for elliptic equations with discontinuous full tensor coefficients is discussed here. Finite volume discretization of the above problem is presented in the case of jump discontinuities for the permeability tensor. First order approximation for the fluxes is proved. Results from numerical experiments are presented and discussed.

Citing the precarious state of the eurozone debt crisis, Moody's Investors Service cut the debt ratings of six European countries on Monday.
Bloomberg reported that Italy was cut from A2 to A3, Spain went from A1 to A3 and Portugal dropped from Ba2 to Ba3. All received negative outlooks. Malta, Slovakia and Slovenia also saw their ratings fall. In addition, the agency warned that the U.K. and France could lose their top ratings. France, and Austria as well, were already dropped from their triple-A status by Standard & Poor's in January.
Alistair Wilson, chief credit officer for Europe at Moody's in London, was quoted saying, "Policy makers have made steps forward but we do not think they have done enough to reassure the market that we are on a stable path. What will guide long-term ratings is the clarity and the performance of policy makers and the macro picture."
In a Reuters report, Bart Oosterveld, managing director at Moody's sovereign risk group, said that if Greece were after all to depart the eurozone the toll on financial markets and credit ratings "would be quite profound." Referring to the European Central Bank's three-year loans aimed at improving liquidity, he said, "The markets are better in the short term but probably not in the longer term. We think the markets remain quite fragile."
Shen Jianguang, chief economist for Greater China at Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd., who previously worked for the International Monetary Fund, was quoted saying, "The ratings agencies are kind of behind the curve. The risks have actually been falling in Europe. There may be worries that countries cutting fiscal spending may drag on their economic growth, but the concerns aren't new and the downgrade should have minimal impact on market sentiment."

AFA adds programs to schedule
PLAINVIEW – The Academy of Fine Arts at Wayland Baptist University has expanded its offerings for the new season, including programs such as a children's chorus, vocal technique classes and the international Kindermusik program.
Registration for all of the Academy's course offerings will be held Aug. 15-16 from 4-7 p.m. in the Harral Fine Arts Center on the Wayland campus. Students will register for the new classes as well as course offerings in art, theatre, piano, brass, woodwinds and guitars.
Kindermusik International is a program designed to encourage young children and parents to explore music. The program bases its curricula on proven research in child development, combining music and movement to teach not only the child, but parents as well. The program is being used by more than 5,000 licensed educators in 35 countries.
Mrs. Jennie Lynn Hodges has completed the first stage of the Kindermusik International certification training. She will be offering the classes to students ages 5-7. As Hodges and others continue through the certification process, the classes will be offered to younger children in the future.
Cost for the Kindermusik program is $218 which includes a package of three musical instruments. Additional children from the same family can register for $174. The fees and curriculum are set by Kindermusik International.
Hodges will also be teaching vocal technique classes for students in grades 3 through 12. Due to an abundance of students seeking private lessons, the Academy has decided to take the elements of a private lesson and mold them into classes of 8 to 12 students. Hodges feels these classes will not only meet the needs of students requiring formal vocal training, but will enhance their experience through additional class time and the opportunity to study and compete with other students.
Like private lessons, each class will include training in vocal technique, sight-singing and repertoire development, but the time has been extended from 30-minute lessons to hour-long classes. The all-region and all-state tracks will have both treble and tenor/bass sections available
For more information on the Kindermusik program or the vocal technique classes, contact Hodges at 296-0770.
Ms. Debbie Flournoy, director of vocal music education at Wayland, will offer a children's chorus for students ages 8-11. Flournoy has conducted, composed and arranged music for numerous children's choral programs. Auditions will be held during the AFA open enrollment. Students will be required to match basic pitch and rhythm and show evidence of basic music training.
Flournoy is excited about the opportunity to teach children in a choral setting.
"This program will enhance music development and train young artists through the performance of sacred and secular repertoire of all periods and cultures," Flournoy said. "This is an exciting opportunity to add to the quality and quantity of our community music education options."
The children's chorus will perform formal and informal concerts throughout the Plainview area with a full concert event at Harral auditorium planned for the end of each semester.
Classes cost $105 and include class and music fees as well as a t-shirt and uniform rental. Additional children from the same family may register for $40. For more information on the chorus, contact Flournoy at 291-1075.
Dr. Ann Stutes, who serves as director of the Academy, is excited about the possibilities of the new course offerings.
"The new course offerings and the redesigned vocal technique classes will allow the AFA to meet the musical needs of more Plainview area students with an outstanding level of quality instruction," Stutes said. "We are thrilled to be able to offer each of these new programs as well as traditional lessons."

Writing and the Writer book
Get Citation
Exploring the relationship between the writer and what he/she happens to be writing, this text by one of the foremost scholars in the field of literacy and cognition is a unique and original examination of writing--as a craft and as a cognitive activity. The book is concerned with the physical activity of writing, the way the nervous system recruits the muscles to move the pen or manipulate the typewriter. It considers the necessary disciplines of writing, such as knowledge of the conventions of grammar, spelling, and punctuation. In particular, there is a concern with how the skills underlying all these aspects of writing are learned and orchestrated.
This second edition includes many new insights from the author's significant experience and from recent research, providing a framework for thinking about the act of writing in both theoretical and practical ways. A completely new chapter on computers and writing is included, as well as more about the role of reading in learning to write, about learning to write at all ages, and about such controversial issues as whether and how genre theory should be taught.
Written in nontechnical language, this text will continue to be accessible and stimulating to a wide range of readers concerned with writing, literacy, thinking, and education. Furthermore, it has an educational orientation, therefore proving relevant and useful to anyone who teaches about writing or endeavors to teach writing.

Is opening my own shop realistic?
Hi all,
I'm considering a career change and going to Wyotech or UTI for training. I've always loved cars and trucks and think it may be more enjoyable to me than my current profession (counseling, which I've done for 4 years).
My question is...If I did complete the training at a technical school (e.g. UTI), and then worked for someone for a few years...how realistic would it be for me to open my own garage?
I could probably get my family to cosign for a building, but why don't so many other people do this? Why work for a dealer or shop owned by other people?
Please help?
only reason i can think of NOT to own your own shop, is it's nicer getting a paycheck than trying to figure out hth your gonna cover everyone else's paycheck come friday........
how mechanically inclined are you? if you are, then i don't see why you couldn't do it, just remember, anytime you do something you enjoy on the side, and turn it into a job, thats exactly what it becomes.
as far as shops go, there is a shop in town here, the guy who ran it was killed street racing, well the building owner owns the lifts and other heavy equipment, i'm don't know if this is a semi-normal practice, but i do know that the equipment comes with the shop lease, might be like that elsewhere, just have to look.... that would cut way down on start up expenses.
Troy-Curt and Nairb are shop owners......
as is KristKustoms, and several others here......
oh, and don't forget the government regulations..... osha makes it damn near impossible to stay open unless your stuff is wired tight, so to speak......
If your mechanically smart, you will make an excellent mechanic. If you are business smart, you will make a great business manager. If you are both, then you would make a great business owner/operator. A true entrepeneur is skilled at his/her trade and has the business smarts to keep the doors open.
One thing that kills alot of businesses is owners that think people will just walk in their door and need work done. You must find your customers. Market your business to your potential customers. Make your business name be heard and seen. Someone might hear or read about your business today, but not need your services for years. Keep your name out there. My current monthly advertising budget is triple the amount of my monthly rent. Spend the money to have people recognize your business name. To be a business owner and operator, you have to be willing to spend money to make money. I have been in business for 5 years and have dumped damn near every penny that I possibly can back into my business. Budget your personal needs, save a little, and put the rest back into the business. It will pay off eventually. One of the hardest (mentally) things I did with my business was hire full time employees. You are now not only supporting yourself and your family, but the families of other people. Owning a business can and will be very stressful.
A word of advice, start out small. You don't need the best and the biggest of everything when you start. Avoid all loans and financing that you can. Rent yourself a decent low priced building. Don't get crazy and finance a bunch of tools and equipment, just get the bare minumum to start with. I did not start out with a small business loan. The only things I ever financed were my personal vehicles, one including a cargo van i just bought. A business can be started without going deep into debt.
Education. You may know your trade upside down and backwards, but you might need to learn business skills. When I knew I wanted to go into business for myself, I knew that I could perform my trade (upholstery) without a problem. But I knew I needed to learn alot in college. I majored in business marketing, and had a minor in business management. There is ALOT that you will learn that you would never even think you would need to know to run a business. Marketing, management, organization, statistics, accounting, economics, etc, etc. Your on the right track with the technical school, but there is more to learn than just the trade.
Thanks mom, for keeping my *** in school.
If you really enjoy working on cars, Then work for someone else. If you enjoy being a business man then start your own business.
I have been in business for myself for about 16 years. If I would have stayed at either of my two previous jobs I would be retired now. As it is my business is now failing in this soft economy and I have no meens of retiring.
So if you are asking me.......get a job.
Do you want to jump in right away? I would suggest either working at nights and weekends or getting a third shift job and then opening your garage for regular hours. All those hours are tough but you would be assured the bread money would still be coming in. I started slow while still keeping at least a part time job. I now realize back in the early days I never would have made it. Not because of any less knowledge of cars, but the few first slow years I learned so much about actually running a business, dealing with customers, and utilizing time correctly.
I'm spoiled, I work for me. And I love my boss. I don't think I could ever go back to punching a clock. The stress is pretty high sometimes but the freedom is great!!!!
Like KristKustums mentioned, with the proper business education, you will be fine.
90% of small businesses fail or do not meet the owner/operators expectations due to underfunding and over capitalization.
I have never held a job in my life. I have been in business for myself since I was 14-15 years old. Buying used bicyles at thrift stores and yard sales, getting them detailed up, and running a "used bike lot" at the flea market on the weekends. I did body work in a rented bay in high school at night and weekend. When I went off to college, I ran an internet business, and started a rental property management company handling rentals around campus for off-campus housing.
I all depends on how bad you want it. Plan ahead and you will be fine down the road. My dad always said the best thing about being broke is it is only a temporary condition.
Good luck.
small shops
actually if you are a good reputable small 2-3 bay shop you are probally makeing 2-3fold what all the good years firestones car-x and tires plusses are making even the dealers are kinda slow now but the smaller shops will always be busy, but you have to be reputable to get that way and that takes a lot of time
Yeah...while starting out you could try and do other work to other cars just so that you're constantly doing something to make $ and get a reputation...I dream of doing something SIMILAR (Selling exotic cars :-P) and it doenst look like it would be THAT difficult to do....just need to study business and get a really good plan together......Good luck :-)
Re: small shops
my repair shop is a 3 time repair shop of the year and we don't make the kind of money a firestone or a goodyear make.
we are a small 2 bay repair shop with a dyno and we are always busy. you can't compete with big chains.
they will always make more than the small business man.
small shops
right now the only shops here in the cities that are very busy are the small independants with a good clientell all the others are slower. maybe its just this area but that is even what the tool guys are telling us when they stop in.
I can't emphasize enough that it isdn't enough to be a great mechanic ... you have to be a businessman too. I spent many years helping small businesses (I'm a business prof in my "spare" time), and I honestly cannot tell you how many genuine craft masters were struggling or failing because they lacked basic business skills. I was working with a restaurant owner once, and he finally complained "Everyone has to eat, don't they?" My answer was..."Yeah, but they don't have to eat at your place!!"
Check out the Small Business Administration and your local community colleges first. Look at http://www.sba.gov/
They used to have a program where retired business people would give free advice to new startuips...maybe that is still in effect but I don't know, the SBA has been drastically reduced (makes sense...right??)
Good luck,

Murray Hill, NJ & Allentown, Pa., U.S., September 28, 2011 – Linde Gas North America LLC and Air Products (NYSE:APD) today announced that they are on track for a second quarter 2012 startup of the high-purity anhydrous hydrogen chloride (HCl) processing and packaging facility the companies are building together at The Dow Chemical Company's Freeport, Texas site, as part of their Hydrochlor manufacturing production-only joint venture.
The companies report that major milestones for the project are proceeding according to schedule, including detailed design, permitting and procurement of long lead time items. The companies estimate product will be available in commercial quantities beginning in June 2012. In the meantime, the parties continue to separately provide material produced by The Dow Chemical Company from their respective fill facilities to service customer needs.
Hydrochlor, a 50-50 joint venture, will sell HCl exclusively to Air Products and Linde Gas North America, who each will continue to market HCl independently.
"We are pleased to be progressing as planned toward commencement of supply from the new Hydrochlor facility," said Wayne Mitchell, vice president and general manager of Electronics for Air Products. "Customers in a variety of industries rely on domestic supply of this critical material, and our investment and participation in Hydrochlor will provide the much anticipated long-term solution."
Cliff Caldwell, vice president and general manager of Linde Electronics added, "The design of this facility incorporates the experience and engineering strengths of both Linde and Air Products. It will be a true world class, world scale production facility. It incorporates our combined experiences of many years handling Anhydrous HCl to assure safe, reliable, consistently high purity product to our customers."
HCl is a key raw material used by semiconductor manufacturers for cleaning reactors used in the epitaxial process and also is used for chamber cleaning. A majority of North American merchant HCl is supplied to the pharmaceuticals and agricultural industries. HCl also is used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of inorganic chlorides.
About The Linde Group
The Linde Group is a world-leading gases and engineering company with around 49,100 employees working in more than 100 countries worldwide. In the 2010 financial year, it achieved sales of EUR 12.9 billion (USD 17.9 billion). The strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards long-term profitable growth and focuses on the expansion of its international business with forward-looking products and services.
Linde acts responsibly towards its shareholders, business partners, employees, society and the environment – in every one of its business areas, regions and locations across the globe.

As preparations for Steam greenlight the mod has been cleaned of swastika and nazi symbols (HUGE thanks to Panzerblitz1 for all his work on this)
Please explain to me why you have done this? This is a very authentic mod, You guys had balls to add it to a game where the devs didn't want to. If games like Wolfenstein can go out. And mods like the Geist mod for Arma 3 can be put up that allow uniforms with swastikas. Then this mod can have them in the game as well.

The Obama campaign's first major general election campaign video–released today–makes the case that despite an inherited recession and foreign policy crisis, the President has made the country safer and stronger.
Oops. Wrong guy. Wrong election. But it's the same message. Here is the online video that Obama actually released today:
In modern presidential campaign politics, little changes but the names on the door.
Today on MSNBC's Morning Joe, the roundtable basically agreed that the Obama campaign was bordering on bad tactics by taking so much political credit for the killing of Osama bin Laden. But those of us who were around for the Republican National Convention in New York in 2004–yes, just blocks from Ground Zero–remember this pattern well.
(MORE: The Inside Story of Osama bin Laden's Last Days)
Here was Rudy Giuliani, speaking at the convention, about how the attacks of Sept. 11 explained the greatness of George W. Bush:
We did the best we could to communicate a message of calm and hope, as we stood on the pavement watching a cloud come through the cavernous streets of lower Manhattan. Our people were so brave in their response. At the time, we believed that we would be attacked many more times that day and in the days that followed. Without really thinking, based on just emotion, spontaneous, I grabbed the arm of then Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and I said to him, "Bernie, thank God George Bush is our President."
On this point, President Bush appeared to agree, as he explained in his own convention speech while describing his decision to invade Iraq.
I faced the kind of decision that comes only to the Oval Office, a decision no President would ask for, but must be prepared to make: Do I forget the lessons of Sept. 11 and take the word of a madman or do I take action to defend our country? Faced with that choice, I will defend America every time.
Four years later, at the 2008 Republican Convention that nominated John McCain, the imagery of 9/11 ran thick again, with a long and painful "tribute" video to the victims of Sept. 11. This infuriated liberal commentators for its exploitation of a unifying national tragedy.
Now it is Obama's time to gloat. As Vice President Joe Biden said last week, "Thanks to President Obama, bin Laden is dead and General Motors is alive. You have to ask yourself, if Governor Romney had been President, could he have used the same slogan — in reverse?"
And boy, are Republicans upset. Of all people, Ed Gillespie, the very guy who ran the Republican National Committee for Bush in 2004, is just beside himself at the idea that Obama would try to make political hay out of a U.S. military accomplishment in the War on Terror. This is what Gillespie said Sunday on NBC's Meet The Press:
This is one of the reasons President Obama has become one of the most divisive presidents in American history. He took something that was a unifying event for all Americans, an event that Governor Romney congratulated him and the military and the intelligence analysts in our government for completing the mission in terms of killing Osama bin Laden. And he's managed to turn it into a divisive, partisan, political attack that former Defense Secretary Frank Carlucci for President Reagan called "sad." John McCain called "shameful." I think most Americans will see it as a sign of a desperate campaign.
Sigh. Take a deep breath. We are only just beginning.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Oftentimes the key to winning football games starts with the battle in the trenches. For Tennessee State the defensive line has been a huge part of the success of Big Blue this season.
If you look at the tackles for loss leaders in the OVC, the first four names all have one thing in common; they all play for Tennessee State. On the list are defensive lineman Anthony Bass (9.5), Marquaveus Jackson (8.5) and Samquan Evans (8.0) as well as middle linebacker Nick Thrasher (8.5).
"The best pass defense is the pass rush," said coach Rod Reed. "When you're able to put pressure on the passer and make him uneasy in the pocket and move things around, it makes things easier for your secondary."
Not only does the unit rank highly in tackles for loss they also boast the best pass rusher in the conference in Anthony Bass. The Clarksville, Tenn. native has registered 6.0 sacks on the season in his first full year as a starting defensive end.
Although Bass may appear soft spoken off the field, on the field he's a quarterback's nightmare.
"I'm all about business once I step on the field," said Bass about his focus on gamedays. "It's just a mindset to get to the quarterback."
But it isn't just Bass that's getting to opponents quarterbacks, the unit as a whole has an OVC leading 23 sacks, including four in last week's 29-15 win over UT Martin.
Along with Bass's league leading total, Jackson ranks fifth in the conference with 4.5 sacks and fellow defensive end Antonio Harper has the seventh best league total, 3.5 sacks.
The group has grown together from offseason workouts to where they are now and they say that those long days in the heat built their bond on the field.
"It just shows me the grind in the offseason pays off and that everybody was really working hard to meet one common goal, to win a championship," said Evans. "I could tell by each of every defensive lineman workouts it was going to be a great season."
Even when the unit makes mistakes, they know with the teammates around them plays will be made in their place. It's the ultimate trust.
"I know they got my back all the time," Evans said about his fellow lineman. "I know if I miss my tackle I know somebody is right there like a split second away, not even a split second, like the lowest millisecond you could ever think of."
According to coach Reed the reason for the unit's success is simple, yet for opposing offenses it's the most complex to stop.
"They're relentless, they're just refusing to be blocked right now," Reed said.
For defensive coordinators it's a dream come true to see the time the opponents quarterback has to find open receivers diminishes.
"We're blessed to have them," said co-defensive coordinator Justin Roberts. "It makes you feel good on the backend knowing you're going to have pressure on the quarterback and get him to make some bad decisions."
The Tigers' defensive backs have capitalized on the mistakes by the pressured signal callers, to a tune of an OVC best eight interceptions, with three returned for touchdowns.
Most importantly the defense as a whole ranks second in total defense nationally for FCS programs. It was only last week the Tigers laid claim to the best defense in the entire country.
'We're going to come back and get the number one spot," said Bass, knowing the challenge that presents itself this afternoon.
Today, the Big Blue defense will face their toughest challenge yet, Eastern Illinois. The Panthers offensive pedigree is just as impressive as the Tigers' defensive prowess. As a team, their offense is the FCS' elite team ranking first in total offense and boasting the best quarterback, statistics wise, in the country in Jimmy Garoppolo and the country's best receiver in Erik Lora.
On the year, the senior signal caller has compiled 2,735 yards passing along with an FCS leading 31 touchdown passes. Graoppolo's favorite target Erik Lora ranks third in the country with 928 yards receiving and an FCS best 13 touchdowns.
So once again the defensive unit has to prove they're up to the task, something they've done all season, and like all those tasks they expect to exceed expectations just as they've done time and time again.
"Our defense is better than their offense that's all I'm going to say," Evans said about today's matchup. "I hope (Garoppolo) is ready because he's going to be in a world of trouble come Saturday."
If the stats are any indication; today's matchup of strengths should be one for the ages and Tennessee State's defensive line will be a huge factor in determining the outcome. Which is something they don't mind at all.
"We're going to go out and do our jobs and when it's time for plays to be made by the defensive line, we're going to go out and make those plays," Bass said.

Jerry MacDonald made history before he ever walked through the Big Brother house's front door by being the oldest person ever cast for a reality TV show. And then the 75-year-old made memories by fondling a fellow houseguest two-thirds his age and being in the middle of several of the season's most heated shouting matches. Even so, the great-grandpa from Texas worked his way to the Final 3 before being evicted just short of the prize money. In our chat he tells us why he was so grabby, why he makes no apologies for his behavior in the house and the real reason behind his problems with Dan.
TVGuide.com: Getting booted just short of the money can't feel good.
Jerry MacDonald: It was a great ride, and I played as hard as I possibly could. I don't feel I have to apologize for any of my actions. I felt good about the people in the end, and in the last half of the season, I tried to play nice to improve my image. To get to the Final 3, I think, was quite an achievement.
TVGuide.com: Do you think you'd still be in the house if Memphis had won the final HOH?
Jerry: No, he had a deal with Dan, no questions asked. I tested it just before the eviction, because I had a couple of shirts that were too large — I hadn't worn them, and they were brand new. I gave them to Memphis, and he took them, but then the night before the eviction he gave them back and said I should give them to my son-in-law. I knew then that he had a deal with Dan either way.
TVGuide.com: What kind of information do you plan to bring to the jury house?
Jerry: I won't be in a position to sway people on how to vote, but I do know how a lot of people feel. A lot of that is going to determine who ends up in the end as the winner. But right at this moment, I have no idea how it's going to go.
TVGuide.com: You told Julie you think you could be the deciding vote.
Jerry: I think I very well could be. I don't want to say who I am leaning toward or why. I have reasons to go either way. And that's just something I'm going to have to think about hard. It's a life-changing situation for one of those men, and I want to use my head and do it right.
TVGuide.com: It could have also changed your life. Will there be any revenge in your vote?
Jerry: I like to leave sour grapes in the house if I can. There are a couple things I am going to consider in weighing my decision, and there may be a couple of things that happened in the house that bother me. But there isn't going to be any real animosity toward either one. I have reasons to dislike them both.
TVGuide.com: You were most outspoken earlier in the season against Dan, even calling him Judas. Do you still feel the same way about him?
Jerry: It's all part of the game, but I think Dan has a lot more talent than he realizes. What bothers me most about Dan is the arrogance. He doesn't know how to win something and have other people enjoy it with him. He has to demonstrate like he's a superior-type person, and I don't like that.
TVGuide.com: We saw a range of emotions from you this season. Is that your nature, or did being in the house draw them out of you?
Jerry: I'm very upfront, and I don't hide anything. I don't talk behind people's backs, I talk right at them. I like to get things off my chest, whether it's emotion about my wife or if I'm angry. Either way, I don't keep it inside, and I think that's why I am as healthy as I am.
TVGuide.com: You said you're proud of yourself. What was your proudest moment in the game?
Jerry: It was probably winning the POV on the onion contest, when I had no reason to win POV other than to return a kindness to Keesha. By doing that, I kept her off the block and let Libra stay [on the block] and go home. And that absolutely changed the game.
TVGuide.com: The floaters definitely booted some strong players this year. How do you think you managed to sneak by until the end?
Jerry: I had never been on the block until the last four or five nominations. At that point, I decided to get quiet and be nice. [Laughs] And it worked. I just backed off and watched for my moments, and I slid kind of like a greased monkey right though the thing.
TVGuide.com: One of the season's most memorable moments had to be your "introduction" with April. What was going through your mind when you grabbed her boobs on Day 1?
Jerry: I did nothing wrong. She walked into my hands. [Laughs] It really was kind of strange to have this young girl just walk up to me and say, "Are they real?" I don't know how quickly I reacted, but I guess it was pretty quick. I'm not embarrassed by it. It was probably one of the most humorous things that happened on the whole show.
TVGuide.com: Think your wife saw the humor in it?
Jerry: I don't think I will have to explain it to her. When I came in here, she said, "Don't let any of those women get in bed with you." I told her if they do, it'll only be foreplay. [Laughs]
TVGuide.com: You'll be able to ask her soon enough, I guess. Are you looking forward to getting back home?
Jerry: I'm looking forward to it, but I don't know — maybe they better put me on Survivor or something to raise the stakes.

Andrew "Weev" Auernheimer, the hacker who called attention to AT&T's poor security by releasing hundreds of thousands of iPad owners' email addresses, will be sentenced in a New Jersey court on Monday for computer crimes.
Despite facing as much as 10 years in jail, he is unrepentant, he made clear in a recent, profanity-laced phone interview with Business Insider.
"Just throw me in prison at this point," Auernheimer said.
In 2010, Auernheimer and a compatriot, Daniel Spitler, discovered that visiting an unsecured AT&T Web server and entering a number associated with the customer's wireless account allowed him to obtain that customer's email address.
By altering the number and repeatedly querying the server, Auernheimer and Spitler were able to obtain hundreds of thousands of email addresses, which they then released to Gawker.
In 2011, Spitler pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to obtain unauthorized access to computers and one count of identity theft, charges which carried as 12-18-month prison sentence.
Auernheimer, who estimates he and his supporters have spent $250,000 to $300,000 fighting his prosecution, wasn't willing to plea guilty, arguing that all he did was access a public Web server—an action which, if the prosecution's logic is followed, would make all Internet users criminals.
"I'm going to tell everyone in that court what they deserve," Auernheimer told us. "I'm not going to go, 'Oh, what I did is so terrible, I'm so sorry.'"
Asked to write a statement accepting responsibility prior to sentencing, Auernheimer instead wrote a fiery letter of protest on TechCrunch.
"I'm going to defend people's right to access public web APIs until the day I die," Auernheimer said. (An API, or application programming interface, is a way for one application to access data from another application—in this case, AT&T's system for providing a user's email address.)
Auernheimer compared his prosecution to that of Aaron Swartz, the Reddit cofounder who recently committed suicide after learning that Assistant United States Attorney Stephen Heymann was seeking jail time in pursuing charges that Swartz illegally accessed MIT's network to download millions of academic articles from JSTOR.
"A sane society would lynch [Heymann] in the square—him and his boss, Carmen Ortiz," Auernheimer said.
And how does Auernheimer feel about his prosecutors?
For once, Auernheimer held back.
"I probably shouldn't comment on that," he said with a laugh.
As for jail? Auernheimer says he intends to continue "trolling," or performing stunts and other actions in hopes of provoking a response, even without regular access to a computer.
"I'm looking forward to it," Auernheimer said. "I'm sure there's going to be a lot of trolling done from a prison cell. I can knock a good one on Western civilization just by writing letters."

As is the case each and every season, each and every week, any omission below is not on purpose, it's merely intentional.
The Pac-12 came into the 2015 season looking to challenge the SEC for conference football supremacy. While that may end up still being the case, it was a rough Week 1 in myriad regards for the Left Coast league, particularly its northern division.
First and foremost, No. 21 Stanford went into Evanston as heavy favorites only to be upended and upset by Northwestern. And it wasn't just that one of the preseason favorites in the North was beaten, it was that they were roughed up by the Wildcats and seemed to play timid on both sides of the ball. More embarrassingly, a couple of hours later Washington State lost to FCS Portland State, which came into the game a 30-point underdog.
The South contributed to the first-week malaise as No. 15 Arizona State, viewed by some as a darkhorse playoff candidate (sheepishly raises hand), capped off the night with a 20-point loss to unranked Texas A&M. At least that, though, was a loss to a Power Five school, and one from the stacked SEC West no less, in what was essentially a home game for the Aggies.
Add in Washington's loss to Boise State — no shame in that — and Colorado's loss to Hawaii Thursday night — a whole hell of a lot of shame in that — and it turned into a horrific lost weekend for the conference. That said, remember how many were writing the Big Ten off a year ago at this time? Yeah, it wouldn't be wise to repeat that history.
If you thought that the Week 1 schedule, especially Saturday, was especially lacking when it came to compelling on-paper matchups, you're not alone. In fact, the raw data is sitting right along side you.
Opening weekend, and including the two still remaining, there were/are 87 games involving FBS teams. Of that, 11 pitted Power Five vs. Power Five (for this exercise, I'm considering BYU a P5); another 47 — more than half — featured FBS teams playing an FCS team. There were 22 Power Five teams that opened their season against an FCS team, with the ACC far and away leading the cupcake way with seven. The Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 had four apiece, while the pastry alley that is the late-season SEC lagged behind with three.
There were also 23 games played between Power Five and Group of Five teams. The SEC accounted for eight of those games, while the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12 saw four each. The FCS-heavy ACC had three such games.
It wasn't just the Power Fives feeding on the FCS, though, as 25 Group of Five teams opened against the former Div. 1-AA. The remaining six games saw Group of Five squads squaring off against each other.
While most of the FBS feasted on their FCS cupcakes, a handful choked on them. Two that lost to FCS teams were Power Five members in the aforementioned Wazzu and Kansas (South Dakota State, more on that below) and two were Group of Five teams in Army (Fordham) and Wyoming (North Dakota).
Vernon Adams transferred from Eastern Washington to Oregon earlier this offseason and ultimately earned the Ducks' starting quarterback job. As luck would have it, Adams' current and former teams squared off in the season opener in Autzen Saturday night, and there was one interesting development in UO's 61-42 win.
