A few weeks back I was watching my beloved San Diego Chargers lose in a most embarrassing way on Monday night. And in the waning seconds of blaming the quarterback for such ineffectual 2nd half play, it occurred to me, it wasn't his fault. It was the coach. It was the lack of planning for the type of attack the Denver Broncos would bring. It was the lack of leadership that should have easily closed the deal. In short, it was sticking to the status quo while everything around was changing.
My second epiphany was that this is a spot-on metaphor for the recent spate of bank hacks being levied by the hacktivist group Izz ad-Din al-Qassam. Not to make light of a serious issue, but the Charger collapse reminded me that the most insidious and effective attacks are not brute force in nature. In fact, most banks (according to compliance mandates) have decent processes to repel these attacks. In this case, the brutish DDoS (denial of service) was a feint to misdirect a smaller DDoS attack launched at the same time…and it was these more subtle attacks that were effective against 8 banks and counting. Continuing the football metaphor, it is like showing the blitz and falling back into tight pass defense resulting in the quarterback throwing an interception.
So the moral of the story is organizations need to evolve their security platforms to provide an agile shifting defense and change with the scenarios.
Now this is not to say the sky is falling, but a reputable IT security report noted a 50% increase in total number of DDoS attacks since Q2 of 2011 and a 10% increase since April. This means it's time to look at your defensive processes and ensure they transcend compliance code. But moreso, to start anticipating what new threats, compliance requirements and business needs might be coming your way. You can't be that guy who says "I'll worry about it when I have to worry about it." You simply can't be paralyzed by the status quo. It's a recipe for throwing 4 interceptions in the second half and squandering a 24 point lead.
We grouse a great deal about the burden of compliance, but they create a wall of protection that would otherwise create greater vulnerabilities. But all the audits, all the bureaucracy…it simply detracts from you being able to do the job you were hired to do. So the question begs, how do we evolve? How can we make security management easier yet stronger. Effective yet efficient. Agile yet layered? Proactive rather than reactive? If these questions are keeping you up at night, then it is time you took a deeper look at security-as-a-service or security managed from the cloud.
If you approach the security issue from the traditional sense of on-premise brick-building, server-stacking, resource-adding development, then yes, there are significantly costs in capital expenditures, human resources, and still not guaranteed that you have the necessary functionality, capability and visibility to anticipate tomorrow's issues.
By implementing a best-of-breed enterprise you gain a holistic view of what's happening to your enterprise in real time. And because of the cloud computing advantages, the price point is very affordable (for what you are paying in support and maintenance, you could integrate an entire enterprise solution). You gain capability, you lessen expenses and, if your vendor also practices security as a service, your automated efficiencies come with 7/24/365 review of your logs by a live expert analyst.
But let's put a real face on potential changes. Take FFIEC standards; very soon they will be more than guidelines. It's highly likely they will become compliance mandates. And they force you to address possible vulnerability gaps in your enterprise. Will you be prepared to meet the shifts in emphasis?
- Layered security:
Most compliance-beholden organizations must recognize that security is not just about implementing virus scan and configuring firewalls. Ways and devices people reach your networks are changing quickly. Beyond log management protocols, you might need to add a SIEM or access management components. But the interpretation of layered security is choosing what is monitored and not relying on just a firewall to beat back possible intrusions, worms, phishing expeditions and user carelessness. You need multiple means, protocols and processes managed centrally.
- Real-time, intelligence based assessment
There's a saying in security circles: If you've noticed it, it's already too late. The goal is to prevent, alert and remediate. And the only way to do this is through round the clock vigilance. Anything less than 24/7/365 monitoring opens the risk door too wide. It's a cliché, but we are all acutely aware that hackers don't sleep. But part of the question is not that monitoring is active, but how is it monitored? What data is collected? If you automate too much, you lose the human expertise; the context and the ability to respond effectively. Cloud-based security can cover a large enterprise or modest SMB with the same watchfulness while integrating the human intelligence assessment. Additionally, it provides additional resources, wider intelligence and greater coverage you don't have to fund.
- Rapid adaptation against evolving threats
By applying a solution that uses real-time forensics including advanced correlations to examine for specific patterns, you create real time operational visibility. By recognizing traffic patterns correlated with a variety of other rules and processes you not only remove the false positive alerts, but can predict where your perimeter is soft and takes the necessary steps to shore them up.
- Protect against ID and personal theft
Passwords are not enough. Time and again this has proven to be the weakest link. However, by instituting a solution that includes multi-credentialing, identity management, provisioning and the like, you can secure access to the most sensitive information. And if you make is easy for the user and minimize the impact of their usage experience, you take another step in maintaining the necessary trust while still ensuring people only see what they are supposed to see.
And all this can be deployed and managed from the cloud. The technology and security of these features has already matured to meet the concept.
These FFIEC guidelines seem very vague, but their meaning is clear: today's operation needs to change. Not to keep up with the bureaucracy, but to improve the scalability, flexibility and control of an often volatile and fluid IT threatscape. However, don't mistake this as a suggestion for mega-suite replacement. This should be part of any go-forward initiative that builds on or what is already in place. The cloud provides that agility to maintain an enterprise-powered security solution, yet adapt to the changing needs faster and more completely than most organizations can do on their own.
With that said, the best defense against an aggressive opponent is knowing what play is being called. Your holistic view gives you the ability to predict when the blitzes are coming, from what side, and most important, provide the flexibility to call an audible. One thing is for certain, you just can't stand still anymore; you can't rely on the status quo I just wish the Chargers saw that on Monday.
As an additional note, I participated in the development of a white paper for Fairway Technologies called , "Get Your Head Into The Clouds! Industry Experts Answer Today's Cloud Computing Questions" ! Fairway's collaborative new report not only examines the cloud computing issues that are dominating the industry, but also identifies key challenges behind cloud adoption and implementation, and presents best practices for organizations to develop and implement a sound cloud strategy. Guidance on cloud service brokers, open source cloud, data destruction, cloud bursting, and other topical issues are also discussed.

With help from Tab Benoit and Charlie Musselwhite, Debbie Davies brings the blues to life on a few occasions on Blues Blast. Yet at other times, especially the swinging opening, "A.C. Strut", it just comes off as a bit too slick and telegraphed despite some strong guitar licks throughout. The slower, moodier "My Time After Awhile" fares much better and brings classic Blues Boy King to mind. However things take another downturn with the rather limp "Movin' & Groovin'" despite Musselwhite contributing vocals to the effort. The highlight here has to be how effortlessly the creeping and aptly named "Crawling King Snake" inches along thanks to Tab Benoit nailing the tune. Davies doesn't have the best blues voice, but musters up enough to make "Like You Was Gone" passable as well as the stronger, Bonnie Raitt-ish "Where the Blues Come to Die". The closing "Sonoma Sunset" is also well executed along the lines of the late Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Always Loved These!Years ago I owned the older model which I used every day but unfortuately I had to get rid of it because the water no longer heated up. I was very glad to find out this product is still being made and I could not wait to order my new one. I love it along with the carrying case and all the extra curlers that comes with it. It is very light which makes it good for travel. I would recomend this product to anyone.Sep 15, 2011Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...HAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

I'm In Love With Caruso!!!!I don't usually write reviews on online purchased but I felt the need to this time. After much consideration, reading many reviews, and watching many videos I must say....I love the Caruso roller system!!! I was skeptical about how these rollers would work on African-American hair but it works wonderfully. My hair is very soft and bouncy. One thing I would recommend for those with curly, thick, or frizzy hair is to blow dry your hair on low once you take the rollers. Don't comb, brush, or style until your hair is COMPLETELY dry to eliminate frizz. I also love how they supply you with a carrying case, thorough instructions on how to use it, a styling guide, and label all the rollers so you'll know which one is which. Lastly, delivery was quick. I order my Caruso rollers last Thursday and I received them today. Overall I would recommend this product to ANYBODY with ANY hair type. Once you buy this you won't regret it.Jul 12, 2011Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

My Favorite Hot RollersThese are my favorite hot rollers. I've used them for years! I've worn out many of the rollers/curlers themselves but the heating unit has lasted great. Curls stay hold so well with this steam system. I've used others in the past but this one is above them all. I ordered replacement curlers once AGAIN for my steaming unit and was pleased to see that they are made of a different material. I'm hoping these will last longer :). I think my old ones lasted 5 or more years so what more should I ask??? I'm very thankful for Folica carrying the replacements and at such a reasonable price so I don't have to buy everything. I only needed the large curlers and would have gotten varied sizes in the whole set with steamer. Only a few of the large ones at that. With ordering packs of individual sizes I was able to get exactly what I needed. Thank you Folica for a great product that meets my needs at an excellent price and also for your super fast shipping!Jun 30, 2011Professional Roller PackHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Can't Live Without!!!!!My Caruso hair setter is one thing I would not want to live without, bought another set of the large rollers. They make my life so much easier, no more sleeping or walking around in curlers all day or using a curling iron that dried my hair to a crisp. I get up in the morning, curl my hair with my caruso and in no time am out the door. The only thing I have to worry about is the electricity going out. :)Apr 27, 2011Professional Roller PackHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

Lasting Curls At Last!My medium-long hair is as straight as a board! Blow-drying with a smaller sized brush gives me only a slight curve. Styling products, such as mousse and gel don't help much, either. But the Caruso Salon Pro 30 Molecular Steam Hairsetter gives amazing results! I now can have waves and curls! The setter heats up quickly and curling your hair is quick too! You can actually take the first curlers out almost immediately after getting the last ones in. (If your hair is long or thick, you may want to blow it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes to make sure any residual moisture from the steam is gone.)
I love finally having the option to have a head full of wavy hair. And, surprisingly, there is usually a little curl left the next day. The steamer is small and the curlers very light, making it great for travel. I highly recommend this product.Feb 28, 2011Caruso SalonPro 30 Molecular Steam Hairs...HAIR TYPEAuburn / Normal Hair

High-Level Verification: Methods and Tools for Verification of System-Level Designs
Sudipta Kundu, Sorin Lerner, Rajesh K. Gupta, "High-Level Verification: Methods and Tools for Verification of System-Level Designs"
Sp rin er | 2011 | ISBN: 1441993584 | 180 pages | File type: PDF | 2 mb
Given the growing size and heterogeneity of Systems on Chip (SOC), the design process from initial specification to chip fabrication has become increasingly complex. This growing complexity provides incentive for designers to use high-level languages such as C, SystemC, and SystemVerilog for system-level design. While a major goal of these high-level languages is to enable verification at a higher level of abstraction, allowing early exploration of system-level designs, the focus so far for validation purposes has been on traditional testing techniques such as random testing and scenario-based testing. This book focuses on high-level verification, presenting a design methodology that relies upon advances in synthesis techniques as well as on incremental refinement of the design process. These refinements can be done manually or through elaboration tools. This book discusses verification of specific properties in designs written using high-level languages, as well as checking that the refined implementations are equivalent to their high-level specifications. The novelty of each of these techniques is that they use a combination of formal techniques to do scalable verification of system designs completely automatically. The verification techniques presented in this book include methods for verifying properties of high-level designs and methods for verifying that the translation from high-level design to a low-level Register Transfer Language (RTL) design preserves semantics. Used together, these techniques guarantee that properties verified in the high-level design are preserved through the translation to low-level RTL.

Working in the UK Forestry & Urban Forestry Sectors
The enormous variety of uses and the diversity of operations involved in producing wood products and getting them to market, give rise one of the most wide-ranging and complex supply chains of any industry. From the growing and harvesting of timber, to the sawmill, wood processor or importer, then to the distributor, merchant or retail outlet, or to the manufacturer or joiner and finally to the end user, the timber supply chain comprises a vast number of operations. Hence the sector provides an astonishing amount of opportunities for employment and career development.
The value of forestry to the economy
The woodland, forestry and timber processing industry supports thousands of businesses, jobs and livelihoods. The estimated turnover of forestry and the wood-based products industry is £8.9bn (2011). This places the forestry and wood processing sector eighteenth on the list of over 120 major industries in the UK.
The processing sector in the UK is highly advanced and at the forefront of technological innovation. In addition to wood grown in the UK, it may also process wood sourced from many other countries, including Scandinavia, Europe, North America, South America, Africa and the Far East.
UK woods and forests already play an essential part in the growth of the UK carbon market and the green economy; providing renewable energy and contributing to recycling targets. The woodfuel supply chain is forecast to generate £1 billion GVA and 15,000 new jobs by 2020.
In 2010, 14,000 thousand people in forestry and 29,000 in primary wood processing (sawmilling, panels and pulp & paper) were employed by 3,170 forestry businesses, 605 sawmilling businesses, 135 wood-based panel businesses and 250 pulp & paper businesses. The vast majority of these businesses are among the small and medium sized enterprises.
Good for people
Trees, woods and forests contribute significantly to the quality of life in both rural and urban areas. Whilst the growing takes place, woodland can give a range of range of environmental benefits as the trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), storing the carbon in their leaves, branches and trunk, and in the soil around. They aid community cohesion and regeneration, provide educational opportunities, reduce noise, help improve air quality and mitigate the negative visual impacts of roads and other built development, stability for ground where flooding persists, and as a natural filter. They are playing a growing role in the fuel industry too, helping to heat and power homes and businesses.
They have been found to improve the health and well-being of those who use them for recreation, relaxation and observing wildlife and flora in natural woodland habitats. The value of UK woodland for public access benefits alone is estimated to be £447 million a year.
Good for nature
Trees, woods and forests make an important contribution to preserving and enhancing the natural environment. Some of the nation's most iconic wildlife depends on trees, woods and forests and around a quarter of priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan are associated with woodland habitats. Trees, woods and forests support so many species because of the variety of different habitats and niches they offer.

Cameron Maybin agrees to $25M deal
Updated: March 5, 2012, 10:11 AM ETBy Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com
The San Diego Padres and outfielder Cameron Maybin have agreed to terms on a five-year, $25 million contract, the team announced Saturday.
The deal also contains a club option for a sixth year.
"It means a lot that these guys want me to be the face of the franchise, which I'm ready to be," said Maybin, who was selected the team's most valuable player in 2011. "I didn't have the year I wanted to (last year). I think there's a lot more in there and a lot to come."

Remember price!
I returned the TV for one reason. the 60hz refresh rate produced distracting effects in motion. I'm coming from a 120hz (smaller) TV and the difference is noticeable to me.
If this is your first flat panel you will probably LOVE IT.
The picture is good if you drop the brightness, and increase the contrast. Color balance and custom adjustment is great. The sound is very good for built in speakers. You will HAVE to adjust the settings to get your preferred levels on the equalizer (custom settings).
The remote is plain and well laid out. I wish that all remote manufacturers would make these with a flat base to stand them up on! Controls and menu are very good.
I don't like the connectors on the side of the TV, but it's better for wall mounting.
The base is solid and takes 6 screws.
There is no name plate plastered on the front of it which is good.
Easy setup and controls.
My husband wanted a new, bigger t.v. We saw this one for $499 and decided that since it had everything he needed and wanted in a t.v. that we would get it. We had some problems with the ship to store part of it, but walmarts customer service took care of it very fast and it was very easy to get taken care of (tracking said it was in transit from a town two hours away for four days, sent a replacement with free 3 day shipping to our house.) The picture is great, the colors are vibrant and everything is clear, unless it is an older, non hd tv show. The sound quality is good for a t.v. we don't use the tv sound though as we also got a sound system shortly after getting the tv. For $499 it is a very good television.
For the Money this TV meets all expections, great price for 50" LCD compared to other name brands that are twice the price.
Have only had this TV a few days. Unable to say how well it will hold up. In my opinion, it is a huge LCD TV that looks and sounds good for the money. Actual measured dimensions with the stand are 31 1/4 inches high and 46 inches wide for those that are tight on space. I agree with the first reviewer that the 60 Hz refresh rate may show some slight blur in fast moving events such as football or whatever, but for my use it is a non issue. So far I have not noticed any dead pixels or anything of note wrong with the screen. The sound is very good and clear for a LCD TV. Better than a name brand one that I have. Would be nice if you could turn the internal speakers off but that is not an option. I also have not noticed any lip-sync problems using the same Comcast box that has lip-sync problems with my name brand TV. It is wall mountable according to the manual. 600 x 600 vesa as I recall. There are four mounting holes on the rear of the TV that appear to be for wall mounting although I have not tried it. The manual specifies what size screws to use and cautions about using ones that are too long. I only used the included remote for initial setup. There are no remote codes for my Comcast or Harmony 300 Remotes, however I found that 10812 works on my Comcast Remote and the online Harmony site only required me to ' teach ' it the Power, Digit 1 and Vol-Up buttons (as I recall) to complete the setup to control everything on the Hiteker except the ' Last Channel '. I haven't gone back to teach it that yet. It has a QAM tuner in addition to the ATSC tuner. There are the usual options in setup for ' Air ' or ' Cable ' channels. I tested both and the ' Air' tuner found most if not all of the local over the air channels and then the ' Cable ' tuner found all the non-scrambled Comcast channels. Please note that you cannot do both at the same time.
I have had this television for two weeks now and I'm more than happy so far. I'd purchase the buyer protection plan because the television was of a brand name I had never heard of before seeing it on the web site. If it had been a better known brand name I would not have purchased the buyer protection plan. Ask me in year if I fill the same way then.
Bought this for my daughter and son-in-law when there TV went kaput. Was a little leary of buying this brand, but after seeing it set up and in use, am very pleased with it so far. The sound could be better, but for the price, it is fine.
I shopped around quite a bit online and this was the best deal for the size by far. But, I felt I was taking a chance with this unknown brand name, but after reading all the existing reviews, I went for it. I ordered it on a Monday afternoon, it was shipped on Tuesday morning, and arrived at my home by 7 AM Wednesday in perfect condition. So far, it has worked great. Also, the online description says you can't mount it on the wall. Not true. It is hanging on the wall in my music studio and looks beautiful and sleek. It has plenty of connections, at least for me. The only downside, as many of the reviewers stated, is the sound isn't that great. So soon I will add a speaker system and be all set.
....watched the Atlanta Falcons beat the "aints". Shipping was superfast. For the price, the TV its great! . It looks great in a black finish, it does not sport the brandname anywhere on the surface.
the only thing I didnt like was the stand. I dont think its very heavy duty for the weight of the TV. Im going to hang it on the wall, but for anybody using the stand make sure you secure the TV to the wall some how. With the 90 day return period, the only reason to return it, is if I find a better price/quality TV.
Other than that its highly recomended product for the low price.
I bought this TV for my church. Picture and sound are excellent! No complaints. Great customer service from Wal-Mart when there were shipping issues.
The tv works great and the picture quality is great, especially in HD. The only downside is that the tv gives off a little more heat than we expected. However, for $449 how can one complain. It's certainly not an unbearable situation or anything. If I had to do it over again I would get another one.
I absolutely love this TV. I only paid $448 and I was very apprehensive at first because of the low price. The TV had great reviews from other buyers which is why I decided to take a chance. My only complaint thus far, is the poor sound. I have to turn the volume almost up to the max on certain programs; however, that can be over-looked for such a low price. The picture quality is excellent and the setup was a breeze. Great buy!
This TV is hard to beat for the price. I was happy with a 40" untill I moved into a house with a larger living room, then it seemed a bit too small. So far the Hiteker has met or exceeded expectations. And with the extended 3 year warranty for only $55 any future potential problems should not be an issue. I would recommend this for anyone looking for good quality on a budget.
Picture and price are good, but sound is not so great. A sound bar will probabaly be needed. I returned mine because the stand is not sturdy and the tv got really hot after being on for less than 30 minutes. The extreme heat made me think that this lcd tv wouldn't last long.
I was a little apprehensive about buying this TV because I was not familiar with the brand, but am very glad that I bought it. The picture is great, the sound is good, and the setup was easy.
This TV delivers all the features you get with all the higher priced TVs just at a lower price!
I am very happy with this TV. The picture is great... thanks.
Was unfamilar with this brand, am totally pleased with the picture, it's excellent
I bought this with just going off the reviews. Good thing I listened to the people. I like the tv. Very vivid colors and great picture in hd.This tv comes with an rca surround sound package. You will need the rca surround because the loudness of the tv does not go high like you would expect a tv to go. The rca surround sound takes optical, rca, or hdmi. It even upgrades your dvd,s to 1080p. I got the four year protection plan. Better get that. You never know!
My 50inch Vizio plasma had the sharpest picture that was great. This was my first LCD and there is a marked difference in color and background black. As the first poster stated the refresh rate of 60 did show some picture noise and artifacts. I'm returning this for a TV for one with a refresh rate of 120.
Just Exactly what I read in previous reviews, that the sound wasn't that great with some channels. Other than that, its an excellent purchase. Great price and fast shipping. All video games take full screen but not all tv channels do the same, as usual. Some channels do take the entire screen which is awesome. Definitely recomend it to anyone.

Costco's Business Philosophy Questioned on Wall Street
The membership discount store Costco is doing incredibly well in terms of sales. Customers seem pleased with low prices and employees like the fact that they're paid more than the industry average.

Artist Bio
|"Christina AguileraA leader in the parade of Mickey Mouse Club veterans who stormed pop at the turn of the millennium, Christina Aguilera was the sexy, brassy diva of the bunch -- the Rolling Stones to Britney Spears' Beatles, as it were. Initially, it was difficult to see Christina outside of the prism of Britney, whose 1999 success launched the new millennium's teen pop boom, but Christina's big hits of 1999 -- "Genie in a Bottle," "What a Girl Wants," "Come on Over" -- more than held their own with "Baby One More Time," while revealing a vocalist with considerably more power and range than her erstwhile rival. Soon, Aguilera distanced herself from the rest of the teen pop pack beginning with her carnal sophomore set, Stripped, a heavy R&B album from 2002 that found its greatest success with the ballad "Beautiful." Christina may have overemphasized her sexual side with singles like "Dirrtty," but by the time of 2006's Back to Basics, it was clear that Aguilera was the most musically ambitious, and reliable, pop diva of the boom.The title suggested something simple but the album was anything but, spilling out over two discs and running the gamut from brassy swing to modern dance. Its lead single, "Ain't No Other Man," was another blockbuster and Grammy winner for Christina, and the tour was her most ambitious to date. In 2008, Aguilera released her first hits collection, Keeps Gettin' Better, which was available exclusively via Target in the U.S. After a four-year break, Aguilera returned with her fourth album, Bionic, in the spring of 2010.-Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide"

Big Mouth
No I did not. I did not, I did not. I did not say those things, and I did not plan those things. Won't It anyone believe me?Ugly Girl
All right, Ugly Girl made a mistake. I'd told my mom what I'd heard in the cafeteria, and she'd told Dad. Evidently. I'd thought for sure they would want me to speak up for the truth.

Posted on 03/28/2013 11:05:07 PM PDT by CMB_polarizationEdited on 03/28/2013 11:22:28 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
click here to read article
Fat boy is nuts enough to carry it out.
"Okay everyyyyboddyyy - do it again from the top; a onea and a twoa...."
Welcome to Free Republic. Leave the headlines intact please.
In their dreams.
We have lots of plan to attack other nations, including our ostensible allies. We do have reasons to attack them (for one, we're technically still at war with them and they just ended the 60 year truce), but the "US Mainland Strike Plan" is not one of them
The translation is wrong, the bold print says Target Plan.
Wish I would have known that back when a 3 star General told us the NKs were massing at the border and to expect 75% causalities if they came across.
North Korea ==> Vaporware
They have sophisticated chemical weapons and the means to deploy them within about 2000km.
Don't forget he had a bunch of the old geezers shot after taking over.
Not for people within about 2000 km of them.
It must be very difficult for the military officers to keep from (career-ending or life-ending) laughing out loud at the clueless dork who is their "Dear Leader".
Kinda like what goes on in the White House situation room whenever "Dear Leader" shows up for the occasional photo-op.
LOL. What an utter joke. It's over for the Norks and they know it.
Is there a North Korean equivalent to Peter Sellers?
Great photo. What's it from?
I thought he's running the country now.
The generals suffer from the same height challenged disorder as Yasser Arafat . They wear very tall hats to compensate for being short.
They also appear overmedaled.
This is a privately owned board. There is, therefore, no right whatsoever to free speech.
There was some big protest against a planned WalMart store in an Austin neighborhood. This was around 2006 I believe. I think the pic came from the Austin American-Statesman and of course, I had to save the pic. Needless to say, the WalMart has opened....
You can pick 'em. Walmart's not weird, keep Austin weird.
I am soooooooo scared.
(could tote a gallon of kimchi up there ! 8^))
The bold target strike text looks to be Photoshopped, both in the long view and the closer view.
Didn't you read the article? He's an Apple guy, he's bombing Dell. :)
We didn't do so well with that in Vietnam...Underestimating an enemy is far worse than overestimating,IMHO...
This is a privately owned board. There is, therefore, no right whatsoever to free speech.
If everyone (or even a majority) understood your point, we would have far fewer problems governing ourselves.
I was reading all the comments to see if anybody else caught on to that. Those routes on the poster are the long way around to get here.
A point I have been pondering of late. We are incapable of governing ourselves because we cannot resist the urge to govern/control what others do.
I don't think Obama would use nukes. I also think Kim knows this.
> A point I have been pondering of late. We are incapable of governing ourselves because we cannot resist the urge to govern/control what others do.
True but I did notice that the strike map showed they were going to hit what look like Hawaii, Chicago, and DC. What can we do to really piss them off?...: )
Upon second look I may not be right about the targets. Wishful thinking I guess...lol
OTOH, once we cut off the food supply, their entire army and population will be dead of starvation in under three weeks. As the late Sam Kinison put it, "our new secret weapon — food."
I noticed that no 2nd and 3rd award devices. The ribbons must be for achievement, The havent been in a shooting war in a very long time.
That would seem to be jabbing at the hornet's nest.
So, they manage to get a rocket to hit the US. Then what?
His supreme chubbyness seems to be writing his war plans with not a waterman or monteblanc etc .... But a Bic. Not to mention a very large Bic ....
Prolly wanted to tell his enemies he have biiiiig BIC !
Anyone notice there is only one fat person in North Korea ?
Then Obama apologizes and sends them a bunch of money we borrowed from China.
FNS just reports a News Alert that NK has put their missiles On Alert with intentions to pay back the US for past 'accounts'.
Remember this?
This was no "airliner."
The Chinese (North Korea's master and ally) has a very real and very deadly submarine based nuclear capability.
Good thing we are decimating our own military with the Sequester.
That is enough to cause horrific casualties to our forces and the ROK forces - casualties in both number and scale not inflicted in the US military for decades.
They don't have to win. They have to hurt us, badly, and they did it in 1950-51 with lesser weapons than they possess now. And, we have not even mentioned the Chinese....who by the way.....came to their aid during the first Korean War and will probably do so again.
That assumes they don't do a Donner party type thing.
I really liked the covers. I thought they were better than the old soviet ones. They have a bit of French styling thrown in.
I was in South Korea during one of the annual military exercises. You could literally see the North Korean forces over the border.
It is quite different from sitting at your keyboard.

Nuclear Weapons:
Annual Assessment of the Safety, Performance, and Reliability of the Nation's Stockpile

In 1992, the United States began a unilateral moratorium on the underground testing of nuclear weapons. Prior to the moratorium, underground nuclear testing was a critical component for evaluating and certifying nuclear warheads. In 1993, the Department of Energy (DOE), at the direction of the President and the Congress, established the Stockpile Stewardship Program to increase understanding of the basic phenomena associated with nuclear weapons, provide better predictive understanding of the safety and reliability of weapons, and ensure a strong scientific and technical basis for future United States nuclear weapons policy objectives. The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), a separately organized agency within DOE, is now responsible for carrying out the Stockpile Stewardship Program. In 1995, the President established an annual stockpile assessment and reporting requirement to help ensure that the nation's nuclear weapons remained safe and reliable without underground nuclear testing. Subsequently, the Congress enacted into law the requirement for an annual stockpile assessment (annual assessment) process in section 3141 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003. Specifically, section 3141 requires that the Secretaries of Energy and Defense submit a package of reports on the results of their annual assessment to the President by March 1 of each year. The President must forward the reports to the Congress by March 15. These reports are prepared individually by the directors of the three DOE weapons laboratories--Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL)--and by the Commander of the U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), who is responsible for targeting nuclear weapons within the Department of Defense (DOD). The reports provide each official's assessment of the safety, reliability, and performance of each weapon type in the nuclear stockpile. In addition, the Commander of USSTRATCOM assesses the military effectiveness of the stockpile. The Secretaries of Energy and Defense are required to submit these reports unaltered to the President, along with the conclusions the Secretaries have reached as to the safety, reliability, performance, and military effectiveness of the nuclear stockpile. The Nuclear Weapons Council (NWC), a joint DOD/DOE organization that coordinates nuclear weapons activities between the two departments, supports the two Secretaries in fulfilling their responsibility to inform the President if a return to underground nuclear testing is required to address any issues identified with the stockpile. Congress asked us to describe the processes that DOE and DOD have established for fulfilling the requirements of the annual assessment. To determine this process, we reviewed the major reports and briefings generated during the annual assessment cycles for 2005 and 2006, including the reports generated by the weapons laboratories and USSTRATCOM. We also interviewed DOE and DOD officials, including representatives from NNSA, each weapons laboratory, USSTRATCOM, the NWC, the Air Force, the Navy, and the U.S. Nuclear Command and Control System Support Staff. In addition, we interviewed former National Security Council staff and staff associated with the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services to obtain the perspective of the end users of the annual assessment reports.
To satisfy the requirements of section 3141 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003, DOD and DOE have established an annual assessment process that reaches conclusions and makes judgments about the U.S. nuclear stockpile and, in particular, whether it is necessary to conduct an underground nuclear test to resolve any questions about a particular weapon type. The annual assessment process takes about 14 months to complete--during which time the nuclear weapons community collaborates on technical issues affecting the safety, reliability, performance, and military effectiveness of the stockpile--and produces seven different types of reports. The annual assessment process culminates in the "Report on Stockpile Assessments" prepared by the NWC, which includes an executive summary, a joint letter signed by the Secretaries of Energy and Defense, and unaltered copies of the weapons laboratory director reports and the Commander of USSTRATCOM report. The directors of the nuclear weapons laboratories base their reports on the technical work of their laboratories, which is derived from ongoing work associated with NNSA's Stockpile Stewardship Program, as well as feedback they receive from independent teams of experts from all three of the weapons laboratories. The Commander of USSTRATCOM bases his report on the advice of a technical advisory group, which holds an annual conference bringing together all of the organizations involved in the annual assessment, and additional operational information provided by USSTRATCOM and the military services. The NWC, supported by warhead-specific technical groups, pulls together the information from DOE and DOD. The NWC then produces an executive summary of all of the reports and prepares a joint letter from the Secretaries of Energy and Defense to the President of the United States, which is forwarded to the Congress. While the principal purpose of annual assessment is to provide analysis of and judgments about the safety, reliability, performance, and military effectiveness of the nuclear stockpile, the process would not be used as a vehicle for notifying decision makers about an immediate need to conduct a nuclear test. According to agency and congressional officials, if an issue with a weapon were to arise that required a nuclear test to resolve, the Secretaries of Energy and Defense, the President, and the Congress would be notified immediately and outside of the context of the annual assessment process. We provided a draft of this report to NNSA and DOD for their review and comment. Overall, NNSA stated that it generally agreed with the findings of the draft report. NNSA also provided technical comments, which we incorporated into the report as appropriate. DOD provided oral comments of a technical nature, which we incorporated into the report as appropriate.

BYU, Utah gameday glance Sept. 21
A week of smack-talking, pranks and rivalry jokes is gone — rivalry gameday has finally arrived for football fans.
Utah will visit LaVell Edwards Stadium, where they hold a 3-2 advantage over BYU in games played since 2003.
BYU is looking to find the holes through the Utes defensive line and quarterback Taysom Hill will need an even more prominent performance than his 259 rushing yards against Texas.
Here are the stakes, trends and other keys to the rivalry matchup.

Injury report - This article states Utah does not report injuries during the season. Is it also a team policy that players cannot get injured? If an injury occurs it will not be acknowledged. Same with a loss.

That whole thing with injuries not being reported is a bit odd. I guess it is just to be secretive about the whole affair. Who knows, Travis Wilson may be nursing a broken leg as we speak. You never know when Whit himself might suit up to go out and take a few snaps. They are tricky like that. If Bronco has a hang nail though, DO NOT expect any work until game time about it. Two can play that game.

"Taysom Hill will need an even more prominent performance than his 259
rushing yards against Texas"...? You mean the performance that shattered
former records both at BYU and Texas? Seriously? Hyperbole much?
I think Taysom could "fall short" of his Texas superman performance and still BYU could handily beat the U.

The image foresting transform (IFT) is a graph-based approach to the design of image processing operators based on connectivity. It naturally leads to correct and efficient implementations and to a better understanding of how different operators relate to each other. We give here a precise definition of the IFT, and a procedure to compute it-a generalization of Dijkstra's algorithm-with a proof of correctness. We also discuss implementation issues and illustrate the use of the IFT in a few applications.
