Does anyone remember a flood in 77 I think. I'm reading a book and the author tells about being raised in the area and mentioned a real bad flood?
#49 May 3, 2012
Tammy alot of people remember the flood of 77 . I know I sure do . I was living at Harman Jct at the time and saw trailers go down river and hit the Harman bridge behind the carlot that was there / It was bad . IF you are on facebook a guy by the name of Forest Stiltner has some pics on this flood .

I was born and raised in Convict Holler. Wish we could call the wonderful days back, living there in the 30's and 40's was a wonderful experience. Great people, great neighbors, went back about a year ago and how it has changed. By the way...I knew the Cassel's, the Lloyds, the Sturgill's, the Garrett's, and the great country music guy by the name of Bill Napier. If anyone knows what's happened to any of them, could you please post. Thanks!!! Living in Convict Holler was WONDERFUL!
#53 Jan 22, 2013
None of the Lloyds live here any more. Minnie , Mr Lloyd and Joe are deceased. Shirley cassel and a few of her children live in Georgia. Ira Cassel is deceased. Claude Garret and his wife are deceased. Their daughter Betty and her Husband Hessie McCoy live in their house now. Herman and Alice Faye Garret live somewhere near the Cumberland Gap . I didn't know Bill Napier personally. Heard a lot about him. don't know anything about him now.

Well Mr. Patton,
I have to commend you for having somewhat of an education, and recognizing the others on this forum that also have one. I must say however, before acting like you are picture perfect and so very smart. Use spell check every now and again and check the places of punctuation in your paragraphs and make sure they're written correctly! Your points are valid but before talking about everyone else being so dumb, check your own mistakes. Kinda makes you look a tad bit hypocritical!
Have a nice day!!
#55 Jan 24, 2013
Thank you SO much for replying. I looked up Bill Napier and there is a wonderful story about him, what a good guy he was, played in Bill Monroe's band. Hope you can look it up. He lived up in Convict Holler in the 1940's.
I also remember the families, Wilson's, Whitt, Altizers and Gillespies. Any word on them. This is SO interesting. Thanks SO much for your reply.
A lot of wonderful people came out of Convict Holler.

I am sorry, at the time I was working on extracting a reasonable code segment. The full code is too long and in development so it will not be very useful. I will post the segment that I have problem with soon and hopefully get a resolution to me question.

This looks like basic but I am new to Sencha Touch and still have no idea how to implement this.
I want to create a welcome page where it shows only a logo in the center of the screen. Then after 5 seconds or so, It would load the main page.
Here's my code for the main view:
Ext.define('Sencha.view.Main', {
extend: 'Ext.Container',
xtype: 'mainpanel',
requires: [
config: {
items: [{
xtype: 'opening'
and this is the code for Opening.js:
Ext.define('Sencha.view.Opening', {
extend: 'Ext.Panel',
xtype: 'opening',
config: {
scrollable: false,
fullscreen: true,
html: '

'
It should display a logo in the center of the screen. But in fact, it shows nothing. I've used Ext.Panel instead of Ext.Container but it doesn't work.
It works with Ext.navigation.View though, but for a welcome page, it shouldn't have a navigation header on the top of a screen.
What do I do wrong? Oh, and sorry for the bad English.

Best Omelets In ChicagoThink about how long the line is at an omelet station and you know that one, the dish is a popular breakfast or brunch choice, and two, that people are choosing which ingredients they want. Indeed, part of the fun of ordering an omelet is creating it the way you want.
Best Live Dance Performances Coming To ChicagoDance offerings in Chicago range from contemporary and hip hop to tap and ballet. And don't just limit the fun to one event.
Best Bars For Ladies Night Out In ChicagoWith so many places to go in the Chicago area, the challenge is narrowing down the choices. Different venues appeal to different ages and style.
Best 4th Of July Concerts In ChicagoVery often the 4th of July concludes with "oohs and ahhs" offered up as fireworks light up the sky. However, before many firework shows there is usually live entertainment by bands playing patriotic melodies or popular, contemporary music.
Best Outdoor Art In ChicagoThose examples are a mere sampling of Chicago's terrific Public Art program. On the east side of the downtown, that is east of the "Loop" formed by the "L," you walk around art in Grant and Millennium Parks. Out in the neighborhoods, you find viaducts and embankments covered with murals.
Best Father's Day Restaurants In ChicagoChicago is such a great foodie town that you have a huge array of cuisine choices to choose from for Father's Day.
Best Single-Day Road Trips Around ChicagoBoating? Yes. Biking? Of course. Shopping? Definitely. Zip-lining? No problem. Merely walking and exploring? You've got it.
Best Summer Backpacking Trips Near ChicagoYou are already looking at the calendar to see when you can get away. If you don't have a lot of time and you want to spend it out among forests and geographical points of interest, consider backpacking through state parks and forests within a few hours of Chicago.
Best Macaroons In ChicagoWhen you are looking for a bakery's selection you will want to know what places do a really top job of turning out these French taste treats. The good news is that the French macaroons are gluten free unless a baker added something to the filling.
Best Places For Tap Dancing Lessons In ChicagoThen again, you could be looking for a rhythmic way to move the bod as exercise, just for fun or even as a career move to musical theater. Luckily, the Chicago area wholeheartedly supports the arts including dance companies, dance festivals and dance classes.
Best Places To Buy Golf Clothes In ChicagoYou spied a golf cart and twosome on a local course even though the weather was still chilly. One more thing though, before you head out. You don't want to wait until you leave for a golf date or lesson to know last year's duds and shoes don't fit.
Best Bodies Of Water To Visit Near ChicagoUnless you're talking theater or food, it's hard not to mention Chicago as a destination without also mentioning Lake Michigan. It's where many visitors and Chicagoans go to cool off, run on park trails and relax on a bench or blanket when needing to escape urban bustle.

Latest Activity: Played Pong Chalkboard (6 hours ago)
Points needed for next level: 662 Level
Yes, I cannot believe I am saying this, but I am sort of sick of Kong chat. I hardly actually talk to anyone now there that isnt already a friend. Probably not sick with forums yet though, but I may be in near future, Idk, but I am posting less than usual now. But yes, the time has finally come to me to realize that Kong really is not all that. I need to start going out in the real world now and be able to finish college, get a job, gf, actually deal with my life rather than internet 24/7. So very slowly, I will be cutting everything loose. But I could still visit on and off, just not as much as I used to.
Heck I have been on chatzy a bit less than usual lately too, but cant give it up yet. My premium expires tomorrow too and have no money to pay for it. :( Most of my friends that I want to chat with now are usually on chatzy(and some on Discord.) Plus I also have majority of them on Snapchat/Kik/Fb/Instag/Skype as well. Whats there to come on Kong chat to chat with them for. The only times now I guess I will come on Kong Chat is to get BOTDS, but Ill get off right after, or if there is another friend online that I havent rly chatted with forever or do not have on any of those 5 things above that I mentioned.
May not even make games like Rat Maze anymore that take forever to update. If I do make forum games, it would be games that are very simple and easy to update that dont take forever, like Last Man Standing for example.
So yea, I want a good future and Kong has ended up ruining me.

Work and consumption in an era of unbalanced technological advance

Keynes's "Grandchildren" essay famously predicted both a rapid increase in productivity and a sharp shrinkage of the workweek – to 15 h – over the century from 1930. Keynes was right (so far) about output per capita, but wrong about the workweek. The key reason is that he failed to allow for changing distribution. With widening inequality, median income (and therefore the income of most families) has risen, and is now rising, much more slowly than he anticipated. The failure of the workweek to shrink as he predicted follows. Other factors, including habit formation, socially induced consumption preferences, and network effects are part of the story too. Combining the analysis of Keynes, Meade and Galbraith suggests a way forward for economic policy under the prevailing circumstances.

Can you imagine the possibilities if a man of the immense talent of Bill Gates, with his extraordinary influence on so many fronts, had a life changing encounter with the Risen Lord Jesus Christ? Grace perfects or completes nature, to quote the angelic doctor Thomas Aquinas. Imagine what this man could do after being captured by Jesus Christ. Bill Gates can have the same kind of encounter that brought the Apostle Paul, and countless other leaders through the ages, to that kind of transformation in Christ!
Bill Gates
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
3/30/2014 (2 years ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Bill Gates, melinda Gates, Microsoft, Gates Foundation, Africa, morality, evangelization, mission, conversion, prayer, intercession, Deacon Keith Fournier
CHESAPEAKE, VA (Catholic Online) - A wide-ranging interview Jeff Goodell had with Bill Gates for Rolling Stone magazine has generated a lot of responses in the media. It appears in the March 27, 2014 edition. You can read the interesting dialogue here.
There are many fascinating topics addressed in the interview. It will provide material for many articles and reflections from people across the political spectrum. The reaction in the Christian community was mixed.
Christians who still hold to the Natural Moral Law position, rooted in the Scriptures and confirmed throughout the consistent teaching of the Church - on the dignity of every human life, including our first neighbors in the womb, and the beauty and meaning of the conjugal embrace within marriage - are aware of the inconsistency between the faith claims of Melinda Gates to being a practicing Catholic and the work of the Gates Foundation in Africa.
There, where the Foundation is engaged in many commendable efforts, it also promotes easier access to abortion, abortifacient chemical contraception, condoms, and programs which undermine the African family. Of course, as is often the case, those who promote such a deficient view of marriage, fertility, human sexuality and freedom, claim to be compassionate while promoting programs which reject the truth about life and deny the dignity of marriage, women and family.
No one speaks more eloquently or prophetically to the built in contradiction between the profession of Catholic faith by Melinda Gates and her contradictory actions than our friend, a frequent contributor to Catholic Online and the founder of Culture of Life Africa, Obianuju Ekeocha. Uju is an African woman, living and working in the United Kingdom as a Specialist Biomedical Scientist.
However, I want to write about something quite different; the missionary moment which this interview with Bill Gates presents to us. It is interesting to note the dialogue between Bill Gates and Jeff Goodell, in the Rolling Stones interview, on the topic of moral and religious issues. Here is the excerpt:
You're a technologist, but a lot of your work now with the foundation has a moral dimension. Has your thinking about the value of religion changed over the years?
The moral systems of religion, I think, are superimportant. We've raised our kids in a religious way; they've gone to the Catholic church that Melinda goes to and I participate in. I've been very lucky, and therefore I owe it to try and reduce the inequity in the world. And that's kind of a religious belief. I mean, it's at least a moral belief.
Do you believe in God?
I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm - not all - that religion used to fill. But the mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about.
To say that it was generated by random numbers, that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs]. I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.
I offer a very different response than some of my fellow Christians, whether Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant, to this interview; at least what I have read thus far. That is not to say that there is no room for dissecting the responses of Bill Gates with a critical analysis.
I refuse to do so. I offer an alternative lens within which to view the encounter, a lens which believes in the power of God to change men and women.A lens of a Church history where, at significant moments in the loving plan of God, significant leaders experienced conversion.
I suggest that his obvious openness to "reducing inequity", his open fascination with the "mystery and beauty of the world" and his obvious attraction to considering the moral implications of believing in God, should draw everyone of us who bear the name Christian to our knees in prayer for this man and his wife.
These are the signs of a man being drawn into an encounter with the Lord through whom the Universe was created and in whom both Bill and Melinda Gates can find the fulfillment of their deepest longings by being re-created, made new. (2 Cor. 5:17)
I sincerely hope that after achieving amazing success on so many fronts in the advance of technology, they are in an existential season in their own lives. Those are the times when men and women are so often opened to having a life altering encounter with the Lord. Maybe they are experiencing that "restless heart" of which Augustine wrote, "You have made us for yourself Oh Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in You".
The Christian Church has a history of praying leaders to the foot of the Cross of Jesus Christ with utterly amazing historical implications. One has only to consider Constantine or, out taken of our recent liturgical celebration of St Patrick's day, the former Druid slave-owner of Patrick who was won to Christianity when Patrick returned to Ireland to evangelize the Nation.
This can happen today!
We are living in a new missionary age. The message of the Gospel and the Christian vision of the human person, the family and a truly good society are the path to real peace and real progress. It always has been and always will be. That is because it brings men and women into an encounter with a Divine Person, the Risen Jesus Christ the Savior. In that encounter, they discover the meaning of human existence and the mystery of their own lives.
As the fathers of the last great Church Council said so well in Paragraph 22 of the Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium et Spes - Joy and Hope)
The truth is that only in the mystery of the incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light. For Adam, the first man, was a figure of Him Who was to come, namely Christ the Lord. Christ, the final Adam, by the revelation of the mystery of the Father and His love, fully reveals man to man himself and makes his supreme calling clear. It is not surprising, then, that in Him all the aforementioned truths find their root and attain their crown. He who is "the image of the invisible God" (Col. 1:15), (2 Cor. 4:4.) is Himself the perfect man.
To the sons of Adam He restores the divine likeness which had been disfigured from the first sin onward. Since human nature as He assumed it was not annulled, by that very fact it has been raised up to a divine dignity in our respect too. For by His incarnation the Son of God has united Himself in some fashion with every man.(Gaudium et spes #22)
Finally, we are commanded by God's word -and instructed by the Church- to pray for our leaders.We should take the admonition to heart and actually do so! When the Apostle Paul wrote his first letter to Timothy, whom he had established in leadership of the Church in Ephesus, he gave explicit instructions to the Christian community:
First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life, godly and respectful in every way. This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. (1 Tim. 2:1-4)
In its excellent treatment on prayer, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, addresses the many forms of prayer, including intercession. It explains the seriousness of the early Christian understanding of this obligation to pray for leaders. It cites that passage from Timothy as well as many others from the Bible. I have included them in the following quote:
Since Abraham, intercession - asking on behalf of another has been characteristic of a heart attuned to God's mercy. In the age of the Church, Christian intercession participates in Christ's, as an expression of the communion of saints. In intercession, he who prays looks "not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others," even to the point of praying for those who do him harm.(Phil 2:4; cf. Acts 7:60; Lk 23:28,34)
The first Christian communities lived this form of fellowship intensely. 116 Cf. Acts 12:5; 20:36; 21:5; 2 Cor 9:14. Thus the Apostle Paul gives them a share in his ministry of preaching the Gospel (Cf. Eph 6:18-20; Col 4:3-4; 1 Thess 5:25) but also intercedes for themThe intercession of Christians recognizes no boundaries: "for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions," for persecutors, for the salvation of those who reject the Gospel.119 .(Cf. 2 Thess 1:11; Col 1:3; Phil 1:3-4.) Cf. 2 Thess 1:11; Col 1:3; Phil 1:3-4. (CCC#2635, 2636)
Well, most of us do not have Kings to pray for anymore. But we do have many different kinds of leaders - in many different sectors of our social life together. There is no doubt that Bill and Melinda Gates are significant leaders in this Nation - and around the world. They are already being exposed to the Truth of the Gospel and the teaching of the Christian faith when they attend the Catholic Church together as a family.
Certainly, one could spend energy discussing and parsing why some of what they must be hearing does not seem to be finding good soil, as evidenced in some of their decisions. I choose to take another approach - and ask you to join me.
Join me in adding Bill and Melinda Gates to your prayer list. Yes, that's right; that presumes we have a prayer list. We should have one. Prayer is the most powerful force for good in the universe.
The older I get the more I have come to believe I would not have the great treasure of living faith in Jesus Christ and His Church, and all that entails, unless someone, perhaps many someone's, were praying for me. Yes, the seed of faith was planted in me at Baptism, but I needed to give my Yes - and still do - every day. Prayer makes tht possible and opens my eyes to see all of life differently through living faith.
I needed grace, and still need grace every day. So do Bill and Melinda Gates - and the best thing we could all do is to commit ourselves to fervent prayer for them to encounter the Lord and His truth in a profound and life changing way.
Can you imagine the possibilities if a man of the immense talent of Bill Gates, with his extraordinary influence on so many fronts, had a life changing encounter with the Risen Lord Jesus Christ? Grace perfects or completes nature, to quote the angelic doctor Thomas Aquinas.
Imagine what this man could do after being captured by Jesus Christ. Bill Gates can have the same kind of encounter that brought the Apostle Paul, and countless other leaders through the ages, to that kind of transformation in Christ!
Imagine the good that Melinda Gates could really do if she came to see the truth taught infallibly by the Church she professes to follow concerning the dignity of every single human person, including our youngest neighbors in the womb. She can!
After all, it is the same Lord, same Holy Spirit and same Church. We are invited to participate in the miracles of this age and to believe in the power of prayer to change people, cultures and nations.
Just as Leaders have encountered the Lord throughout Church history,and been completely transformed in the encounter, they can do so today. Many more will, if we pray with living faith and perseverance. Join me in praying for Bill and Melinda Gates.
If you would like to join a growing coalition of Christians, Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant, in building a network dedicated to such prayer for leaders, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Actual Sewing Content
After procrastinating for many many weeks, I finally had a chance to trace and pin the Colette Violet pattern. I'm on the fence about pinning. Sometimes I think it leads to accurate cutting, sometimes I think it makes the fabric bunch up and I like to keep it as flat as possible. I'm using a striped grey cotton from my stash.

Esteemed Sewing Assistant in Training, trying to be a Pirate Cat.
What you don't see are hours spent saying, "No, don't sit on that!" — everything from the fabric, the ironed out patterns, the pattern on the fabric, to "No don't play with the pin cushion!" until Esteemed Sewing Assistant in Training fell asleep.
More to come soon.

The mohel (rabbi who performs ritual circumcision) was getting ready to retire after 30 years. During that time, he had saved every foresk.n from every bris he had performed. One day, he brings the foreskins to his tailor and says: "Listen, these foreskins are my life's work. I want you to take them and make me something nice." The tailor tells the mohel to come back in a week and he'll have something. When the mohel returns a week later, the tailor shows him a change purse. The mohel is stunned: "What is this? Thirty years of work and this is all I get, a change purse?" The tailor looks at him and says, "Yeah, yeah, but you rub it, it turns into a suitcase!"

The fiasco that sank millions of Americans, including one journalist, who thought he knew better.
A veteran New York Times economics reporter, Ed Andrews was intimately aware of the dangers posed by easy mortgages from fast-buck lenders. Yet, at the promise of a second chance at love, he succumbed to the temptation of subprime lending and became part of the economic catastrophe he was covering. In surprisingly short order, he amassed a staggering amount of debt and reached the edge of bankruptcy.
In Busted, Andrew bluntly recounts his misadventures in mortgages and goes one step further to describe the brokers, lenders, Wall Street players, and Washington policymakers who helped bring that money to his door. The result is a penetrating and often acerbic look at the binge and bust that nearly bankrupted the United States.
Enabled by know-nothing complacency in Washington, Wall Street wizards used "collateralized debt obligations," "conduits," and other inscrutable financial "innovations" to put American home financing into hyperdrive. Millions of Americans abandoned the safety of thirty-year, fixed-rate mortgages and loaded up on debt. While regulators insisted that the markets knew best, Wall Street firms fragmented and repackaged unsound loans into securities that the rating agencies stamped with triple-A seals of approval.
Andrews describes a remarkably democratic debacle that made fools out of people up and down the financial food chain. From a confessional meeting with Alan Greenspan to a trek through the McMansion bubble of the OC, he maps the arc of the Frankenstein loans that brought the American economy to the brink.
With on-the-ground reporting from the frothiest quarters of the crisis, Andrews locates what is likely to be the high-water mark in America's long-term embrace of higher borrowing, higher risk-taking, and the fervent belief in the possibility of easy profits.
Editorial Reviews
Mr. Andrews's book makes it clear that the real culprit is human nature. James R. Hagerty
Mr. Andrews's book makes it clear that the real culprit is human nature."
"As I write in February 2009, I am four months past due on my mortgage and bracing for foreclosure proceedings to begin." Thus begins this cautionary and critical examination of the housing crisis, a story that turned personal when New York Times economics reporter Andrews got caught up in the housing bubble after falling in love with a woman and a house. Bringing in $120,000 a year in salary-most of which went to child support and alimony to his ex-wife, Andrews says he was able to get a "don't ask, don't tell" mortgage with the assumption that his new wife, Patty, would be able to get a job to keep them afloat, an expectation that didn't work out as planned. Because of his economics journalism background, Andrews says he "should have avoided the mortgage catastrophe," and he castigates himself as well as fellow borrowers, the financial industry that took advantage of them and a government that didn't put the brakes on the crisis that many economists warned about but that Alan Greenspan, the Bush administration and others ignored. This deeply personal exposé is timely and sobering in its candor. (June)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

This book is a personal bailout in the guise of a memoir of a family's finances. In a nutshell: middle aged guy ditches wife and three kids for a woman who ditches her husband and four kids to be with him. Convinced that theirs is a love that shines brighter than the world has ever seen, he buys a house he knows he can ill afford because, well, they just want it. He doesn't have the money, and his new wife doesn't want to work, but he deserves it, you see. And, as an economics reporter for The New York Times, he knows exactly how to game the system. Until the system collapses. Edmund Andrews either doesn't have the skill or self-awareness to render himself or his wife in a sympathetic way. He is clearly besotted with her, although, hard as he tries to convince us of it (by telling us over and over again how sexy she is, how much he admires her high fashion sense and her love of fine food), it is exceedingly difficult to understand what he sees in her, or she in him. They both come across in his telling as nasty, self-involved, entitled people. As for the rest of it - the housing crisis, predatory lending, etc. - it's in there, and what there is, is okay. But you can pretty much get that information anywhere. There's a bit more to the story that the author isn't telling that some readers think is material to the story. But you'll have to go elsewhere to find out.
I got about half the way through and realized, the common thread seems to blame Bush and Greenspan. We all know there is plenty of blame, mainly on the left of the aisle for these shady loans. This, from a guy who should have know what he was doing and did not even know to get a home inspection. Kinda of hard to feel sorry for him especially when he has not taken full responsibilty for his actions.
Andrews writes a great tale of woe while explaining the financial shenanigans Wall Street created to lure the greedy, needy and in Andrews's case, love struck. It's hard to imagine a sophisticated NY Times financial reporter becoming burdened with a $500,000 mortgage while struggling through a divorce on a reduced take home income of less than $3,000 per month. Andrews is twice busted. First by engaging in a dangerous bet on ever increasing real estate values, and second, by being blinded by love for a twice bankrupt beautiful, but dysfunctional woman. Two hits to the chops that even this book deal won't fix.
I found this book fascinating and brave. Andrews explains how this all happened with clarity. Great book!

The Rangers are reveling in the aftermath of their 7-0 dismantling of the reeling Washington Capitals Sunday night. Here's a look at some of the postgame chatter.
Morning Links
According to Andrew Gross, Captain Chris Drury has been cleared to play after his prolonged bout with a broken finger. That means a fourth liner from Sunday's game like Todd White or Erik Christensen could find himself as a healthy scratch against Pittsburgh.
John Tortorella was thrilled with the play of the AC-D-sky line (Anisimov, Callahan, Dubinsky … it's going to stick, I swear!), according to Jay Greenberg of the Post.
Rick Carpiniello provides his thoughts on the rout, including a key play with under fives seconds left in the first.
Also via Carpiniello, John Tortorella called the Dubinsky-Ovechkin bout, "good stuff," and loves the way Marc Staal's offensive game is rounding into form.
With 21 votes in his favor, Dubinsky easily earned the decision over Ovechkin at Hockey-Fights.com.
The folks at Blueshirt Banter break down the victory.
Jesse Spector writes that the Rangers smashed any notion of a Heritage jersey jinx.

Spring time in Colorado — when thoughts turn to shaking off the winter's snow and getting back into flying after the chilly winter. Years ago there had been a Classic Car and Aircraft Fly-in at Front Range Airport (KFTG), although it had gradually languished and faded away.
As the airport has been on the growth upswing over the last few years, the airport manager and regional members felt it was time to bring this event back.
With the large warbird community along the front range, it was decided to make the new event a Warbird and Classic Car Fly- in. Last year was the inaugural year, with this year being a strong follow up. [Read more…]

Vice Adm. Bernard McCullough also planning on predictive capabilities by 2012
Fragile, antiquated networks and a departmental inability so far to fully grasp the idea of a network domain as battlespace are slowing establishment of formal military cyber operations. Still, concrete benchmarks of progress are close, with transformational capabilities expected as soon as this year, according to one senior Defense Department official.
"We've begun to get our arms around the domain and the problem set, but anyone who thinks there's a quick fix for cyber defense is mistaken," said Vice Adm. Bernard McCullough, commander of the Navy Fleet Cyber Command. McCullough delivered an update on the command's progress at the Center for Strategic and International Studies on April 5.

Navy commissions cyber defense command
The military is "traditionally reactive and static, but we need to be proactive, dynamic and predictive," he said. He estimated his command will achieve what he terms a proactive defense stance by October this year, and have predictive capabilities by fiscal 2012. He did not elaborate on technological details of the new capabilities.
In order to fully integrate cyber security and military operations in cyberspace, service members working in that domain must define a baseline, or "normal," landscape that accurately reflects when something is amiss – and when defense is needed.
"We have no idea what normal is," McCullough said. "We have to start seeing the network as a weapons system, and the domain as the battlefield. We cannot continue to rely on kinetic capabilities and capacity. It puts us on the wrong side of the curve by a factor of four."
And replacing obsolete equipment, developing the information-sharing culture in DOD and transitioning the operational framework from traditional military operations to network defense are also challenges, McCullough said.
"We've got systems that are older than they should be, and don't do what they should do," he said, calling for better lifecycle management for network systems.
To get a clear view of all of the obstacles the Navy, which operates a large share of military information networks, McCullough said he spent the better part of two months visiting naval components all over the world.
"You never get a better assessment than when you sit down at a table with a subordinate eyeball to eyeball," he said. "People will tell you the damnedest things."
In visiting 20 of the 24 subordinate commands, McCullough found that "all the sites are doing great things, but no two are doing it the same. We need standardization. We need certification, operational standards and assessments. You get what you inspect, not what you expect."
McCullough also spoke to challenges in information sharing, citing issues with trust and confidence in command and control relationships. "If we don't have assured command and control, nothing else matters. But offense is viewed as the priority by multiple entities," he said.
