That Alabama defeated LSU in Bryant-Denny Stadium Saturday night to retake the reins of its own playoff destiny wasn't really a surprise to those who are familiar with Alabama's recent seasons.
What's surprising is that the Crimson Tide wasn't really challenged at all by an LSU team that came into the game ranked second in the nation behind the running of RB Leonard Fournette and a quarterback who had yet to throw an interception.
Alabama didn't just beat LSU Saturday night. Alabama made it look … easy.
Every season, one or two teams seem to rise above their typical watermarks and give Alabama a tougher game than it would otherwise appear on paper.
Alabama is hoping Ole Miss filled the role in Week 3, but in 2009, that team was Tennessee, then led by a young head coach named Lane Kiffin. It took two blocked field goals by DT Terrence Cody, the second coming as time ran out, for Alabama to hold onto the win and eventually play for a national championship.Continue reading …
If Alabama is going to make a run at a national championship, one of the things that must happen for the Crimson Tide has undeniably begun to happen the last two or three weeks: The defense is getting incrementally better every game.
Alabama traded the I-formation offenses of Georgia and Arkansas for Texas A&M's high-flying spread attack Saturday, and held it to 16 points of production. The Aggie rushing attack – which wasn't spectacular by any means coming in but was nonetheless respectable – was completely shut down. Alabama's defensive line lived in the Aggie backfield, quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray were mercilessly harassed, and Alabama's secondary put on a performance for the ages.Continue reading …
Over its first few seasons after joining the SEC, Texas A&M felt like a jigsaw puzzle missing a couple of pieces.
The Aggies found those missing pieces after they hired John Chavis, the former Tennessee and LSU defensive coordinator, to coach them at the same position. Chavis immediately brought a toughness to the job that the Aggies had been lacking. Although Texas A&M is far from a defensive powerhouse in 2015, the improvement is noticeable, and more is expected in the future.
Alabama enters this game coming off its second physical test in a row. Alabama has beaten Georgia and Arkansas in successive weeks, and now must face the high-powered spread attack brought by Texas A&M. With rival Tennessee coming to Tuscaloosa the week after this game, many Alabama fans are worried that this contest has all the makings of a textbook trap game and upset.Continue reading …
Alabama's offense, retooled in the wake of Blake Sims' departure, showed enough effectiveness to allay fears about the quarterback position. The defense stuffed the run, and the defensive line, as expected, dominated the line of scrimmage.
But Alabama didn't show itself to be a flawless team. The pass defense was sketchy all night, particularly across the middle, and Alabama's kicking game once again disappointed.
In other words, Nick Saban has his team right where he wants them.Continue reading …
The Crimson Tide is hoping to ride a defense that might have 11 upperclassman starters to a title in 2015, but doing so will require a fast rebuild on the offensive side of the ball, not to mention navigating a schedule that many deem to be the most difficult in the nation. Other challenges include a spotty situation at placekicker and the shuffling of coaching personnel, primarily on defense.Continue reading …
Just about the time West Virginia head coach Dana Holgersen was being anointed as the next big thing in college coaches, the 2013 season happened.
West Virginia went 4-8 in 2013, and the problems were evident right off the bat, as West Virginia struggled to beat William & Mary in the opener, 24-17, then had losses to Oklahoma and Maryland by a combined score of 53-7, sandwiching a win over FBS pretender Georgia State. The offense than Holgorsen took such great pride in having developed suddenly didn't work.

Alabama is one of the most interesting teams in college football in 2014, if for no other reason that a team one play away from a possible shot at a national championship, returning a nucleus of top talent and poised for yet another title run, is actually a team in transition. A new offensive coordinator is in town, the quarterback position is completely up in the air and changes are expected on the defensive side of the ball to correct a downward trend, particularly in front seven performance.
Alabama is now the employer of one Lane Kiffin, former Tennessee head coach, NCAA scofflaw and general spoiled brat. At least that's what he's been in the eyes of Alabama fans until now. These days, he's the hopeful savior of Alabama's balanced, but ground-oriented offensive attack built around the idea that beating an opponent into a bloody coma is the pinnacle of college football strategy. But the ultimate determiner of style may be decided by which quarterback wins the starting job.Continue reading …
One of the side effects to consistently signing classes that are stocked top-to-bottom with talent is that it gets difficult to project who will end up playing and who will finish the season with "RS" posted next to his name.
While nothing is certain until fall camp is over, here's a look at the incoming freshmen and transfer signees on the 2014 Alabama football team, and a quick assessment of which players are most likely to play or not play during the upcoming season.Continue reading …

Newborn Screening
Shortly after birth, a blood sample is taken from a newborn to screen for diseases such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and congenital hypothyroidism. This type of testing is important, because treatment is available to improve the health of the child. Newborn screening is required in the United States, but states vary on which tests they offer.
Examples of tests used for newborn screening include:
- Phenylketonuria (PKU) screen, which measures the amount of phenylalanine in a baby's blood. Babies found to have PKU should be put on a special low-protein diet to prevent intellectual disability.
- Cystic fibrosis screening test, which measures levels of immunoreactive trypsinogen (IRT), a digestive enzyme, in a newborn's blood sample. Abnormally high levels of IRT suggest cystic fibrosis, although further testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis.
- Hemoglobin test, which tests for types of hemoglobin in a baby's blood that may point to sickle cell trait or sickle cell disease. Babies who have sickle cell disease need special medical care throughout their lives.
Other tests, such as newborn hearing tests, can tell whether a baby may need future hearing services or genetic testing. Approximately 50 out of 100 cases of newborn hearing loss are caused by genetic factors.1

Good TripodI got delivered this tripod in one day. Nice job by Flipkart. Coming to the Tripod, its nice, sturdy, easy to handle. I use this with Nikon D5100. This tripod suffices anybody who wants to shoot with kit lens and telephoto zoom lens. The best part about this tripod is it can be stretched upto 80 degrees, which would be very helpful to capture from ground level. The only con is the tripod doesnt come with a decent manual, though one is included, deciphering it requires some time, but though not complicated.

So I was cleaning out the laptop of old files and decided to do a scan. It scanned a folder where I kept most of my phone backups (saved as a just in case) and it picked up a bitcoin miner on my stock MK3 backup. I don't remember which exact rom or if I had any other kernels installed in that backup, but I do recall it being a stock rooted MK3 ROM that was already de-knoxed. Can anyone shed some light to this?

The television presenter and model said in a three-minute
video posted on the website Modernmom.com that she will need
her thyroid removed.
"I need to have thyroid surgery and a thyroidectomy, which
means I'm going to have a nice, big scar right here on neck,"
Burke said, drawing a finger across her throat.
Burke, a former winner of ABC's celebrity ballroom dancing
competition, said she had a biopsy in July, but it had taken
her months to go public with the results.
"I'm ready to deal with it, and I'm going to be fine," she
There was no word on when the surgery would take place, but
Burke's publicist said her work schedule for "Dancing with
the Stars" would not be affected.
Burke, 47, said in July that her doctor suggested she undergo
a thyroid ultrasound after he felt a lump in her neck during
a routine physical.
The thyroid is a gland in the neck that produces hormones
that regulate vital body functions, such as heart rate and
blood pressure.
Burke's co-host Tom Bergeron said on Thursday during an
appearance on the CBS chat show "The Talk" that he had known
about her condition for several months. "We are all there
with her," he said.
"I've known about this for a few months ... I have had
experience with this in my family. You never want to hear the
word cancer. But thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable
cancers. It has an incredibly high success rate," he said.

The Continuing Crisis
Maybe you can figure out Biden's warning.
We realize we are at risk of sounding like a broken record, but that Biden comment--which we noted Monday and wrote about again yesterday--is really bothering us. And not just us. In a column for the New York Post, Kirstin Powers, a Democrat, says the media's "scattered coverage" of Joe Biden's disturbing remarks reflect an "incredible bias." Powers and NewsBusters.org both note that even Dan Rather said, "Certainly if Sarah Palin had said this it would be above the fold in most newspapers today."
CBS News reports that Barack Obama pooh-poohed his running mate's comments: "You know I think that Joe sometimes engages in rhetorical flourishes." Or, to put it another way: "We're gonna have an international crisis. . . . It's not gonna be apparent initially . . . that we're right." Only words!
The idea that America's adversaries are likely to test a new administration is not shocking. It seems prudent to prepare for such an eventuality. What's disturbing about Biden's remarks is that he seems to anticipate a domestic crisis of sorts as well--that Obama's response to the crisis will be unpoular among the public, or some segment of it, and that his backers will simply have to have faith. But Biden gives us no clue as to what he thinks Obama will do that will prompt a backlash--or which segment of the public he expects to lash back. To hear Biden tell it, a vote for Obama is a vote for God-and-Joe-Biden-only-know-what.
In the absence of clarity from Biden and Obama, people have begun speculating as to what may lie in store. The Boston Globe reports that in a speech yesterday, Palin picked up on the Biden remarks:
Yesterday in Reno, Nev., Palin told supporters, "I guess we gotta say, 'Well, thanks for the warning, Joe.' " She then imagined the "crisis scenarios," based on what she described as Obama's foreign policy agenda: his pledge to meet with rogue leaders without preconditions, though he has amended that vow; and Obama saying he would go into the tribal areas of Pakistan to go after Osama bin Laden if the Pakistani government wouldn't, though Palin has supported a similar policy.
"Crisis scenario number three," she said, is that Obama's plan for withdrawing US combat troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office would leave "some 25 million Iraqis at the mercy of Iranian-supported Shi'ite extremists and Al Qaeda in Iraq" and could force US troops to return.
Palin asserted that after the Russian invasion of Georgia in August, "Senator Obama's reaction was one of indecision and moral equivalence," which could encourage Russia to invade Ukraine next. "That would be crisis scenario number four," she said.
"But I guess the looming crisis that most worries the Obama campaign right now is Joe Biden's next speaking engagement. Let's call that crisis number five," Palin said as supporters laughed uproariously.
But this is not a joke--well, OK, it's not just a joke. There really could be an international crisis--or more than one--in the early days of a new administration, and more specificity about this Biden warning would be helpful in evaluating whether an Obama presidency is too risky--or whether we should take comfort that his instincts would be the right ones.
The Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz points to one possible crisis:
Senior Tehran officials are recommending a preemptive strike against Israel to prevent an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear reactors, a senior Islamic Republic official told foreign diplomats two weeks ago in London.
The official, Dr. Seyed G. Safavi, said recent threats by Israeli authorities strengthened this position, but that as of yet, a preemptive strike has not been integrated into Iranian policy.
The Ha'aretz report does not discuss the U.S. response to a possible Iranian strike against Israel, although Safavi does say "that a victory by U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama would pave the way for dialogue with Washington, while a John McCain presidency would bolster Iran's extreme right, which opposes dialogue."
Yesterday we noted Hugh Hewitt's theory that Biden was warning that an Obama administration would not support Israel in a confrontation with Iran. We noted that Biden's remark was open to multiple interpretations and asked for clarification for voters' sake. Reader Ray Hendel observes: "What may be more important is a clarification so Iran does not interpret Biden's remarks the way Hugh Hewitt does and see it as a green light."
Meanwhile, "IJane," a contributor to the Hillary Clinton Forum, a dead-ender Web site, speculates that Obama's response to whatever crisis arises will be to impose a military draft. She quotes from Obama's comment at a widely ignored Columbia University forum last month:
But it's also important that a president speaks to military service as an obligation not just of some, but of many. You know, I traveled, obviously, a lot over the last 19 months. And if you go to small towns, throughout the Midwest or the Southwest or the South, every town has tons of young people who are serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's not always the case in other parts of the country, in more urban centers. And I think it's important for the president to say, this is an important obligation. If we are going into war, then all of us go, not just some.
Let's throw this open and see if we can shed some light on Biden's mysterious and troubling remark. If you have an idea of what he meant, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We'll compile the best ones and include them in a column soon. If Obama and Biden won't tell us what they mean, maybe we can figure it out ourselves.
Biden vs. Palin: A No-Brainer!
"No Brain Scans in Released Biden Medical Records"--headline, Chicago Tribune, Oct. 21
Hate Group Hoax?
The New York Times headline seems a candidate for bottom story of the day: "Hate Groups Mostly Quiet in Election":
So stands the state of organized racism in 2008, paralyzed and at a crossroads in what would presumably be a pressing moment of action--the possibility that Senator Barack Obama will become the first black president--but has so far not been. . . .
"What we really haven't seen is white supremacists really rallying over an Obama presidency," said Mark Potok, the director of intelligence at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate groups. "Hate groups are in a more or less stunned position right now; they haven't been able to figure out how to proceed just yet."
Could this be because "hate groups" are something of an urban legend? Obviously white supremacists exist, but the Times was able to find only one to interview: the delightfully named Bill White, head of the American National Socialist Workers Party.
The report details the recent activities of a few other putative white supremacists, although they do not seem all that devoted to their putative ideology. The notorious David Duke, the Times reports, "has, in fact, written positively about the prospect of Mr. Obama's being elected," and he is not alone:
In one sign of shifting mores, James Knowles, a former Ku Klux Klan member who was convicted in a 1981 lynching, said in a Discovery Channel documentary by Ted Koppel that Mr. Obama was a potentially acceptable candidate. "People need to vote for him because of his ideas and the veracity that he displays in what he does, and not because he's African-American," Mr. Knowles said.
We live in an era in which not only is a black man heavily favored to become the next president of the United States, but former Ku Klux Klan members use the term "African-American." It seems reasonable to surmise that hate groups have been more than "stunned," as the Southern Poverty Law Center's Mark Potok says. They have been all but eradicated.
So why does anyone pretend otherwise? Well, cui bono? Mark Potok for one, who gets paid to "track" these groups. If they no longer exist, neither does his job. Also Barack Obama pals Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who, as blogger Steve Bartin notes, have a new book coming out bearing the odd title "Race Course Against White Supremacy." The belief that white supremacy remains a significant force in American life also entails psychic and political rewards for liberal Democrats, who get to feel morally superior to putatively bigoted GOP voters and scare blacks into remaining in the Democratic fold.
Meanwhile, Lewis Diuguid of the Kansas City Star claims that "socialist" is actually "an old code word for black." Which must mean that the American National Socialist Workers Party is actually headed by Bill Black.
Accountability Journalism
The Associated Press's Charles Babington--whose over-the-top pro-Obama bias we've noted before--tries his hand at economic analysis, and the result is embarrassing:
For most Americans, the biggest tax burden is the payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. The tax rates are the same for everyone, and the Social Security levy does not apply to incomes above $102,000, a boon to the wealthy.
Moreover, Social Security benefits go to rich and poor retirees alike. That means low-income workers' payroll taxes are partly shifted to wealthier people, a reverse of the income tax's topdown construct.
This is utter nonsense. The reason for the cap on income subject to the Social Security payroll tax is specifically that Social Security is supposed to be a pension, not a welfare, program--that is, the benefits reflect the amount paid in, so that retirees who had high earnings have their benefits capped just as their taxable income was capped. Moreover, those with lower income still have a higher return on their "investment" for Social Security taxes paid.
Babington seems to think anything is a "boon" to the "wealthy" if it doesn't confiscate as much of their money as he can imagine possible.
Two Papers in One!
- "These huge sums are not, as some have suggested, evidence of the pernicious return of big money to federal campaigns or of the failure of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law. . . . Much of Mr. Obama's money has arrived in small donations; in any event, donors are limited to a maximum of $4,600 ($2,300 each for the primary and general election). Mr. Obama's haul reflects the enormous enthusiasm his campaign has generated."--editorial, Washington Post, Oct. 22
- "Behind Obama's staggering fundraising numbers, compiled on more than 80,000 pages filed with the Federal Election Commission late Monday, are signs that it was far more than just a surge of Internet donors that fueled a coordinated Democratic effort to try to swamp McCain. Interest among major party donors grew so fevered that the Democratic Party created a separate committee to capture millions of additional dollars from individuals who had already given Obama the most the law allows and who had also anted up $28,500 to the Democratic National Committee."--news story, Washington Post, Oct. 22

Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate
An "editor's note" from yesterday's New York Times:
An article in the Itineraries pages last Tuesday reported about the increasing stress on business travelers, and cited the findings of "Stress in America," an annual survey of the American Psychological Association. That survey found that economic factors were the leading causes of stress levels in 2008, but it did not say, as the article did, that "the crisis on Wall Street was the No. 1 cause of anxiety," nor did participants in the survey say they felt most vulnerable to stress "in the office and on a business trip."
The survey included data from Sept. 19 to Sept. 23, 2008, a period of volatility on Wall Street, but none of the questions in the association's survey referred to Wall Street or any economic crises. Participants were not asked how business travel affected their stress levels or where they felt most vulnerable to stress. The author of the article distorted the survey's findings to fit his theme, contrary to The Times's standards of integrity.
The article also quoted incorrectly from a comment by Nancy Molitor, a psychologist in Wilmette, Ill., who told the author that, "In my 20 years of practice I've never seen such anxiety among my patients," not "among my banking and business patients." While Dr. Molitor does have patients in banking and business, she did not single them out as being more anxious than her other patients.

Superlative Journalism
Rep. John Murtha recently disparaged his Western Pennsylvania constituents as racist. Then he corrected himself, saying what he really meant was that they are rednecks who would not vote for a black man as president. John McCain, campaigning in the Pittsburgh suburb of Moon, responded by telling his audience, "Western Pennsylvania is the most patriotic, most God-loving, most patriotic part of America."
The brilliant Marc Ambinder of The Atlantic--well, OK, maybe "brilliant" is too strong, but at least sane by The Atlantic's standards--challenges the accuracy of McCain's statement:
Just like dark energy in the universe, one could very well assume that patriotism is evenly distributed across the country. Certainly, some parts of the country are more God-loving' [sic] than others, but that's simply a factor of the distribution of atheists and agnostics. And, actually, given the density of cities, there are probably more God-loving people in urban areas than there are outside urban areas.
In next month's issue of The Atlantic, Marc Ambinder exposes Disneyland's false advertising. The shocking cover story will be entitled: "The Happiest Place on Earth? Oh Really?"

(PHOTOS) Nicki Minaj Pregnant? NOT! Does This Look Like a Baby Bump to You?Sunny Chanel
Seriously, you have to take any rumor circulated by MediaTakeOut with a grain of salt. Occasionally the website does get the gossip right, but many times, the things said just aren't true. Just in the last six months they've had "breaking news" reports that Beyonce was pregnant, that NeNe Leakes of the Real Housewives was pregnant, and that Brandy was pregnant. All three of them turned out to be untrue.
MediaTakeOut's newest tale? That Nicki Minaj is pregnant. The have a "insider" who said that Minaj asked her label for a "reduced schedule" because she was pregnant. Is their newest rumor true? Doubtful. Just check out these photos of her VERY flat stomach from just two weeks ago!

A tornado threat came to Miami Thursday afternoon when a tornado was in progress just to the west of Miami International Airport, as confirmed by air traffic controllers at the hub.
The National Weather Service relayed the report, which stated the tornado touched down one mile west of the airport. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Southwest of the airport, wind damage was reported by the NWS near the intersection of 82nd Avenue and 14th Street.
(MORE: Track the Threat of Severe Weather)
As a result, flights at Miami International Airport were delayed by an average of more than one hour, according to the flight-tracking website Flight Aware. Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport was also experiencing delays as the storms moved through.
Several reports of waterspouts also came in via social media from nearby areas.
On Thursday evening, the National Weather Service in Miami rated the tornado an EF0, packing maximum estimated wind speeds of 65 mph. The NWS states that the tornado's path was a quarter of a mile long and 10 yards wide. The tornado tracked east-northeast along 14th street into Doral, damaging trees, street signs and a vehicle along the way.

"The holiday cards were phenomenal ! Design services were beyond professional and streamlined the design to perfection. I just adore these cards!!!"
"As always tiny prints does a great job. I was so pleased with how fast tiny prints got my order to my house. It helped this busy mama to get quality Christmas cards out quickly. The personalization page was super easy to use and let me make changes as much as I wanted to. Everything came packaged carefully so it wouldn't get ruined in shipping and the cards were beautifully printed. I only wish I had bought a few more."
"We loved this card. The design and quality of the card make it worth the price. Since it is a smaller square shape, the postage costs more. For some reason the shape of these cards requires a different stamp than the long rectangular shape of a normal envelope. Just keep that in might if you are trying to watch your costs."
"Captured an amazing adventure we could share with loved ones during the holidays! People can save the photo of us instead of throwing out the Christmas card! The quality of paper and the design was excellent!"
"I did not choose the cut of the card as pictured in the sample. I'm more traditional and liked the simply square look. And thank goodness you can choose rectangular envelopes to fit this square card to avoid the ridiculous extra postage on square mail. We used a picture of my kids on the mountain with the snow as a backdrop and this card made it just perfect. Perfect setting, perfect composition, and perfect design. I liked the slow fade at the bottom of the card and the look of the gold without paying the higher price for the gold foil cards. The cards truly looked professionally done with the beautiful printing and nice, thick card stock. As a first time user of Tiny Prints, I will be returning next year. And I have to say this is our all-time favorite Christmas card."

It was the first time Spurs have failed to score in an away game this season and wingers Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon were rarely seen, marked out of contention in a tactical triumph for QPR boss Harry Redknapp against his former team.
Villas-Boas was hoping Tottenham would be in a position to take advantage of any ground lost by their rivals in Sunday's matches at Old Trafford and the Emirates Stadium but QPR proved uncompromising opposition.
He said: "Obviously we wanted to win to make sure we profit fully from the weekend's games.
"Our away form has been excellent and we wanted to come here and win and we feel very comfortable away from home - after their win against Chelsea it was important to try and get the first goal and unlock them in some way.
"It is difficult to break them down and only if you score is it possible to find more spaces."
Redknapp confirmed he was looking at signing Spurs midfielder Jake Livermore.
The 23-year-old England international has struggled to break into the Tottenham side on a regular basis and his former boss wants to take him to Loftus Road.
"Livermore, yes. We are doing a deal to take Jake on loan," he said. "I like Jake, I'm a big fan of Jake's. He is a good young player and it will be a good experience for him."
However, Villas-Boas had a different take on the potential deal for Livermore and added: "There is nothing confirmed yet. I think when we announce it it will have to be official from all three parties."

That's sports in 2016. It will only get worse with increased sponsorship involvement (e.g. sponsor logos on jerseys, etc.). I guess i don't really care. If this helps our ownership continue to remain financially solid and able to provide this team with all the financial backing/resources needed to continue to run one of the best organizations in all of sports....then I'm okay with it. I do like the above suggestion of just calling it the Caesars Center though.

Re: Re: Re: Changes on Broadway
Weird. I don't feel oppressed when I walk past the six-story building that sits at the corner of Broadway and Johnwhich is "jammed right against heavily traveled sidewalks." So is the seven-story tall Biltmore, which is a beloved local apartment building.
I've spent a lot of time in the Pearl District, and I don't recall many buildings with setbacks. I recall a lot of buildings that built up to the sidewalksmaybe they're the older buildings, but they're also the ones with street-level retail, cafes, stores, and restaurants. As for Vancouver, you're rightthere are lots of taller, skinny buildings that don't fill their lots.
But we can't have "tall, skinny buildings" in Seattle, because we set an idiotic six-story, 65-foot height limit. That being the case, we're going to have to live with the kind of development that, yes, fills the lot, and builds up to the allowed 65 feet. If you want to see an example of ugly, short, and set-back, check out the short, wide, and set-back building at the end of Broadway. Most people think it's the ugliest building in the city. So set-backs, nice as they are, don't guarantee you anything. Neither does short.
Since we're total pussies around here about height (hello, Peter!), we can't jump on developers for building out to their lot linesand I disagree with you, Erica, about how people feel about crowded sidewalks. The hustle and bustle of street life is one of the things that people dig about living in the city.

It's hard to measure the impact of something that never happened. But that is exactly what federal agencies and private companies must do in risk management, and in determining the return on investment in IT security.
That challenge is something that organizations increasingly struggle with as investing in IT security becomes more commonplace, more of a requirement and more of a prominent line item in tightening budgets. "The return is really more than just trying to calculate the dollars and cents," said Bob Brese, Energy Department CIO. "If you don't go after the ethos and pathos of the program and the mission owner, and make it real and life-threatening...then you can't get them to invest. The ROI is about staying in business and it's about the mission."
Brese was one speaker on a panel at the FOSE trade show in Washington, D.C.
It can be tough to determine ROI when it is not even clear how or where money is being spent on security. The funding is often scattered throughout programs and under names that are not obvious.
"Sometimes when we look for security funding, we look within the budget and it happens to be permeated throughout the entire structure; other times we look very specifically at projects and identify security for them," said Ira Levy, CIO of the Howard County, Md., government. "It makes it challenging to get a sense of what is the total security spend across the organization."
Insiders say it also is a mistake to treat IT like any other budget line item – but at the same time, keeping it at a completely different level than the rest of the items in the portfolio can be a mistake as well. Funding IT security, unlike other areas, involves taking stock in investments over which half the control already is ceded to someone else.
"For those that try to make the ROI argument a math problem, it doesn't work," Brese said. "The assumptions under which you do the math change every day, and you don't have the bandwidth to manipulate the model on a daily basis. In the end it comes down to capability times the intent of the adversary – neither of which you can control."
It's critical to measure the right things in order to make the best, most well-informed decisions. But how do managers figure out what those right things are?
Collecting and scaling data is a key place to start so organizations can understand what the direct threats are – and what some of the vulnerabilities there may be that may not have such a significant impact on a given system, according to Julie Anderson, managing director of Civitas Group.
"We can look at the way controls are built and say, what if you didn't have this data for a week? What kind of impact would that be?" Brese said. "And you kind of have to iterate through this. You can capture, in this business-impact type analysis – some subjective and some objective – relationships between costs to the program."
It comes down to performance management, but not in the traditional sense, Anderson added.
"As it relates to cybersecurity, performance management is about measuring what's effective and collecting data that can be used to make decisions," she said. "Measuring success is the hardest part – changing the measurement system from process-oriented to outcome-oriented."
In the government today, too much emphasis lies in measuring how fixes are implemented rather than if the fixes address the problem, sources said. Instead, more focus should be on outcome-based decisions that help measure what really improves cybersecurity – not measuring how far along an agency is in implementation.
"This capability is evolving," Anderson said. "Even the most well run organizations in the world still struggle with performance management. It started out as input metrics; now it's output metrics. Eventually it will be outcome-based data that will be most useful in future planning and investment. It will take time, but the government is on the right track."

Shurmur defends decisions, call Browns' offense 'creative'
CLEVELAND -- The Browns rolled out arguably their most creative offensive game plan of the season Sunday.
But first-year coach Pat Shurmur still came under fire for conservative play-calling in the final minutes of a 13-12 loss to the St. Louis Rams at Browns Stadium.
Shurmur loosened the reins a bit on his version of the West Coast offense against the Rams, for whom he served as offensive coordinator the past two seasons.
The Browns ran several plays out of the Wildcat formation featuring Joshua Cribbs, had rookie wide receiver Greg Little take a direct snap and surprised the Rams with a double reverse option throw from Colt McCoy -- lined up wide -- to backup quarterback Seneca Wallace to set up a field goal.
But with the Browns driving for the potential go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter, Shurmur elected not to have McCoy throw into the end zone. Instead, the Browns ran six straight times, then bungled a 22-yard field-goal attempt when the snap bounced off a lineman's foot.
A frustrated Shurmur pounded the table during his postgame interview when he was repeatedly asked about his decisions late in the game.
And fans calling in to talk radio shows and commenting online blamed Shurmur for failing to be more aggressive and for having McCoy hand off to third-string tight end Alex Smith on second-and-goal from the St. Louis 9 on their ill-fated final offensive series. Smith fumbled the exchange, but the Browns recovered the ball.
"There was a lot of good; there was a lot of bad," Shurmur said. "I promised everybody that I would be genuine from day one 'til the last day I'm here and I'm genuine right now in saying that. We can focus on what we want to focus on, but we lost the game."
Shurmur, who helped Rams quarterback Sam Bradford throw for 3,512 yards and 18 touchdowns as a rookie in 2010, gave McCoy a little more freedom Sunday.
McCoy took more snaps from shotgun formation, although the Browns didn't run no-huddle, which the second-year quarterback also prefers.
The Browns threw 11-of-25 times on first down, and McCoy threw deep more than he has in some previous games. His 52-yard completion to Little just before halftime led to a field goal.
Overall, he completed passes of 20 yards or longer to four different receivers.
"I think we had a good mix," said McCoy, who completed 20-of-27 attempts for 218 yards in his most efficient game of the season. "We had a good game plan. I really liked it."
Shurmur, forced to devise a way to beat the Rams without injured running backs Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty and starting wideout Mohamed Massaquoi, squeezed career days out of Little (six catches for 84 yards) and third-string back Chris Ogbonnaya (90 yards rushing).
He suggested critics of the Browns' offense have fixated on obvious wrinkles such as using Joshua Cribbs in the Wildcat and deep passes.
"I think we did some creative things," Shurmur said. "I think we've done some creative things all the way through. It seems like (to critics) the ceiling or the floor on creativity is Wildcat."
Bradford, whose numbers have fallen off this season under first-year coordinator Josh McDaniels, said in interviews last week that Shurmur played an important role in his development as a rookie.
And other St. Louis players said Sunday that Shurmur is a competent offensive coach whose game plans present a challenge to defenses.
"He gave us our money's worth today," Rams defensive end Chris Long said. "He called a great game."

After transitioning a project to ARC, I've been having some issues with delegate methods not being called/being called on deallocated instances. I've realized that the problem is that I have a variable that gets allocated and then executes an asynchronous task. For a simple example, assume that there is an object called MyService that responds to a delegate method, executeDidSucceed:
- (void)fireRequest {
MyService *service = [[MyService alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
[service execute];
The original code would look something like this:
- (void)fireRequest {
MyService *service = [[[MyService alloc] initWithDelegate:self] autorelease];
[service execute];
With ARC, I understand that a
release call gets added after
[service execute] gets called. And I also understand that because the method is asynchronous, the
service object will get deallocated, and a call to the deallocated object will be made for the delegate method.
I know a solution would be to make
service an instance variable and give it the
strong property so we can retain ownership of it. And I know of a solution where we could create a block and use a completion handler so the delegate stays retained until the block is completed. My question is, what's the best way of handling a situation like this? Or more so, what's the "best practice" for resolving this while transitioning to ARC?

|Singles from Searching for the Young Soul Rebels
Searching for the Young Soul Rebels is the debut studio album by English pop group Dexys Midnight Runners, released on 11 July 1980, through EMI Records. Led by Kevin Rowland, the group formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England, and formed a strong live reputation before recording their first material. Recorded during April 1980, the album combines the aggressiveness of punk rock with soul music, particularly influenced by the Northern soul movement.
The album was preceded by and contains the hit-single "Geno", which topped the UK Singles Chart. It also contains two other charting singles: "Dance Stance" (re-recorded as "Burn It Down") and "There, There, My Dear". The album reached number 6 on the UK Albums Chart and is certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry.[1] It has been widely acclaimed by music critics since its release and is included in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[2]
In 1976 Kevin Rowland formed a punk band called The Killjoys, based in Birmingham, England, which gained minor success with the release of their single "Johnny Won't Get to Heaven"/"Naïve" in 1977. Kevin "Al" Archer joined in early 1978, but due to internal arguments and tension between Rowland and the rest of the group the band dissolved. On "a hot night in July 1978"[3] Rowland decided to form a new band, which would eventually become Dexys Midnight Runners, telling Archer "I'm going to do what I really want to do: form a great group. We'll wear great clothes and make soulful music."[4] Throughout July Rowland and Archer auditioned 30–40 people to join the group,[5] the eventual band consisting of 8 members. Later that summer the band would create their name, after the drug Dexedrine which was used by fans of Northern soul, and began a rigorous rehearsing and writing schedule, practicing for about 9 hours every day.[4][5] In November 1978 the band entered the UK live circuit and gained a reputation for their strong performances, which included covers of classic soul songs and originals.[4] Rowland and Archer employed a strict code of conduct, ruling out and drinking or drug use before performances, and introduced many of the band members to activities such as shoplifting expeditions and bumping trains.[5]
In 1979 Rowland turned down an offer to join Jerry Dammers' 2 Tone Records after supporting his band The Specials and signed to Oddball Records instead. In November that year the band adopted their signature look for their early recordings, consisting of donkey jackets and watch caps. It was inspired by New York dockworkers, such as in the film On The Waterfront.[4][5] After the release of their first single "Dance Stance" in December, which entered the charts and led to the band signing to EMI Records, the band underwent a nationwide tour titled Straight To The Heart in 1980.[4] Their lineup would change slightly at this point, with John Jay being replaced by Bobby Ward who was later replaced by Andy "Stoker" Growcott on drums and Pete Saunders being replaced by Andy Leek on organ.[4] The band released their next single, "Geno", on March 15, 1980, which peaked at number 1 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]
The band recorded Searching for the Young Soul Rebels over 12 days at Chipping Norton Recording Studios in Oxfordshire, England.[7] It was produced by Pete Wingfield, who had previously recorded the hit single "Eighteen with a Bullet", of which Rowland was a fan.[7] Organist Andy Leek left the group during the sessions, only appearing on two songs ("Geno", which was previously recorded, and "Thankfully Not Living in Yorkshire It Doesn't Apply"), leading to the return of Pete Saunders.[4] "There, There, My Dear" features Rowland singing the main chorus of Lee Dorsey's "Everything I Do Gonh Be Funky (From Now On)" at the end of the track.
I sort of dived in the back of this car and just took off with police cars chasing us...Being chased by police cars up the A40 at 90 miles per hour is not my idea of fun.
During their time with EMI Records the band consistently experienced troubles with their contract: upon their initial negotiations only three members of the group (Rowland, Archer and Geoffrey "Jeff" Blythe),[3] called the "nucleus", were signed to the label, which caused a stir within the group.[5] They were also only being paid 6% of the royalties, whereas most bands receive 10–12%.[7] This led to Rowland threatening to steal the album from the studio and hold it ransom until their pay was increased, which EMI laughed at.[5] However, on the last day of mixing the record, while Wingfield was out of the studio to get a cup of coffee, the members of the group locked the door to the studio, each taking a carton of magnetic tape and ran through the building to their getaway vehicle, a Morris Minor which belonged to Saunders' girlfriend,[5] and drove to Rowland's parents' house in Birmingham.[7] EMI demanded the tapes back but the band had already set off on their sell-out UK tour.[7] The band gave the tapes back when EMI raised their pay to 9%, but they almost destroyed them by travelling through the London Underground, which could have demagnetized them and wiped everything.[7]
Searching for the Young Soul Rebels opens with the sound of radio static, from which snippets of "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, "Holidays in the Sun" by Sex Pistols and "Rat Race" by The Specials can be heard.[8][9] This is then cut off by shouts by Rowland and "Big" Jim Paterson, which are followed by "Burn It Down", a re-working of the band's earlier song "Dance Stance".
Mojo summed up the sound of the album as "an energetic mix of pop, Northern soul and punkish attitude."[10] The band intended to create a brassy sound mixed with the aggression and intensity of punk rock.[5] The music mainly consists of up-beat soul music ("Tell Me When My Light Turns Green", "Geno", "Seven Days Too Long") inspired by labels such as Motown and Stax,[11] and downbeat blues-jazz tunes ("I'm Just Looking", "I Couldn't Help It If I Tried", "Keep It").[9] "Seven Days Too Long" is a cover of the "Northern soul classic",[3] originally recorded by Chuck Wood. Rowland's lyrics have been described as "a mixture of punchy bravado, deep disgust and a rather heroic flaunting of his insecurities, sobbed rather than sung,"[11] and concern subjects such as ignorance towards Irish people ("Burn It Down"), an open letter to the dishonest music scene ("There, There, My Dear")[8] and a tribute to the soul singer Geno Washington ("Geno").
The album was released on 11 July 1980. It reached number 6 on the UK Albums Chart.[6] It also charted on the New Zealand Music Chart for 21 weeks, peaking at number 11,[12] and the Swedish Albums Chart for 4 weeks, peaking at number 31.[13] Two weeks after its release the album was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry.[1] Three singles were released prior to the album: "Dance Stance" (originally through Oddball Records, re-recorded for the album as "Burn It Down") was released in November 1979 and reached number 40 on the UK Singles Chart.[6] "Geno" was released on March 15, 1980, and reached number 1 on the UK charts and number 2 on the Irish Singles Chart.[6][14] "There, There, My Dear" was released in June 1980 and reached number 7 on the UK chart.[6]
Just before the release of the album the band underwent a sell-out UK tour titled Intense Emotions Review, with support from comedian Keith Allen.[4] After the album's release, a new Dexys single titled "Keep It Part Two (Inferiority Part One)", which was a reworking of the album track "Keep It" with new lyrics written by Rowland, was released in October 1980 but didn't chart.
Searching for the Young Soul Rebels has been reissued with bonus tracks three times. First, in 1996, the eleven tracks plus seven tracks from singles that Dexys had released on EMI were issued as part of an 18-song collection entitled It Was Like This; however, the two sides of Dexys' first single ("Dance Stance" b/w "I'm Just Looking") were included in the original, Bernie Rhodes-produced versions (with Bobby Ward on drums), not the re-recorded Wingfield-produced versions on the album. Then, a remastered edition of the album was released in 2000 for its 20th Anniversary, including two additional tracks: the music videos for "Geno" and "There, There, My Dear". Most recently, a deluxe 30th Anniversary Special Edition was released in 2010 including a bonus disc of outtakes and demos, which includes all of the bonus tracks issued with It Was Like This (tracks 3-8 and 19 on the bonus disk) as well as additional BBC live and demo recordings.
The album cover features a photograph of a thirteen-year-old Irish Catholic boy carrying his belongings after being forced from his home in Belfast, Northern Ireland because of civil unrest in 1971. The photo was included in the Evening Standard the next day and was picked up by the band nine years later. The boy later identified himself as Anthony O'Shaughnessy. He stated that "There were tensions simmering for about three days. People did not know what was going to happen. I thought it was a dream and in the morning everything would be okay, I don't even remember the photographer doing the picture."[15] Upon the choice of the image Rowland explained "I wanted a picture of unrest. It could have been from anywhere but I was secretly glad that it was from Ireland."[16] The original sleeve also contained an account of the band's history along with various phrases printed with the song titles, including quotes from Brendan Behan's book Borstal Boy and the Book of Psalms.[3]

Searching for the Young Soul Rebels has been widely acclaimed by music critics. In 2008 the BBC stated that "Young Soul Rebels - fierce, raging and passionate - remains one of the greatest debut albums of all time"[26] and later commented "this was the sound of a soul released from a straitjacket [and] still blazes as poetry."[27] Pitchfork Media and Drowned in Sound gave the album 8.9/10 and 9/10 respectively, both calling it their most coherent and consistent record, Drowned in Sound adding "in fact it's damned near perfect."[9][21] AllMusic gave the album 4 and a half stars, explaining its importance as "Rowland takes a role that Morrissey would have in 1985 and Jarvis Cocker in 1995 - the unexpected but perfect voice to capture a time and moment in the U.K - the return of "soul" to English rock music at the dawn of Thatcherism."[17] In a lengthy retrospective review Uncut gave the album 5 stars,[10] concluding with "ultimately, the myth-making around Kevin Rowland tends to obscure the fact that he's been responsible for some truly soul-scorching music. At 30 years of age, Young Soul Rebels continues to burn."[11] Melody Maker gave the album 5 stars, calling Dexys "the best white soul band of all time. This album is still [a] new testament in truth and communication, clear ideas finding their perfect expression," while Mojo gave it 4 stars, calling it "the most incandescent and refreshing record of the year [1980]"[10] Robert Christgau expressed more of a mixed opinion, giving the album a B, explaining "this is not a soul record. It is a weird record - There are horn interjections that make me laugh out loud at their perfectly timed wrong rightness, and with Kevin Rowland quavering through his deeply felt poesy and everybody else blaring away, I enjoy it in much the same way I enjoy a no wave band."[18] David Hepworth, reviewing the album in Smash Hits, was equally as dismissive, saying that "potentially good songs are dragged down by mannered vocals and would-be epic arrangements".[24]
The album was included in the 1980 "Albums of the Year" lists for Melody Maker, which was in no particular order, and NME, being placed at #10.[28][29] It has since been included on numerous critics' lists and reference books,[30] including The Guardian's list of the 100 Best Albums Ever (#93),[31] Melody Maker's list of the All Time Top 100 Albums (#42),[32] NME's list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever (#16)[33] and a place in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[2]

Mississauga Transit's Online Trip Planner
When Mississauga Transit's paper Ride Schedules were no longer issued as of 2004, all schedules from 2005 and on could only be viewed from the system's website. In November 2005, MT released its first online trip planner. This application offers the user with a graphical interface which enables the user to plan a route between two geographical locations with just a few clicks of the mouse. By typing in or selecting the place of origin and the desired destination, the planned start time for their trip, in just about 5 seconds, the website refreshes into a new page with your requested trip plan. With its need for user participation, the Mississauga Transit Online Trip Planner is an excellent example of a well-designed interactive virtual technology.
Upon entering the site, the graphical interface presents 4 chronologically ordered modules of a similar layout with correlating titles. For example, Module 1 would be your origin "FROM", Module 2 being your desired destination "TO" and Module 3 is the time you wish to start your trip, "WHEN". Modules 1 and 2 both have alternate tabs which presents all the categories of destinations such as landmark, intersections, bus stop numbers and addresses that there could possibly be, including locations outside of Mississauga. Namely, these places neighboring in close proximity such as Brampton, Oakville, and Toronto. A special feature in Modules 1 and 2 is the "Recent" tab, in which the dropdown list consists of previously selected or entered locations so the user does not have to repeatedly enter the same information day to day. The tab currently in use will always be in gray and connected to the rest of the module, making it visible and easily known to the user which tab is currently in use. The tabs not in for, for example, stop number, intersection and so on, will be in orange. All of the information that the user needs to enter is evident through the obvious presence of drop down list arrows and input boxes which are common amongst most websites, therefore making it easy to learn how to use. Module 3 allows the user to select the date and time of their departure and also the flexibility of their time, enabling the user to plan out trips they might not even take for another day or two, or even in a few hours. The last module is the travel options in which you can select if you want the fastest trip, a trip with the fewest transfers or shortest walks. You can also consider school routes and if you would like or need your trip to be able to accommodate to people with accessibility needs. Once the user has planned a trip, they can also choose to see a more detailed description of the plan or alternate trip plans. Efficiency: With its large range of utilities, this application does more than just support its users in carrying out their tasks, but also accommodating to their lifestyles and varying schedules. It is readily available to all users with internet access on a 24 hour basis and requires no waiting. The designers of the Click n' Ride Online Trip planner seriously took every aspect of interactive design combined trip-planning into a whole new level.
If a user is confused about how to operate this graphical interface, each module has a question mark icon on top of it which the user may click on to inquire help with their needs. Once the user has planned their desired trip, options such as a later start time, an earlier start time, alternate trip plans and other such alternatives are readily available for the user. Users can also plan trips ahead of time by selecting different dates in Module 3.
The graphical interface of the Online Trip Planner, especially in Modules 1 and 2 which include tabs that look like file folders makes the user experience a familiar and enjoyable one because it reminds the user of real life objects, like file folders in a office. This integration of familiarity with a new virtual concept succeeds in ensuring the most optimal experience for the user.
With many Mississauga residents using the transit system to commute, such a service was inevitable. Given people's current demand for fast services in all aspects of daily activities, technology has devised a system incorporating a speedy response to the users' interests and effective usability goals. This technology accommodates to the users' needs in their everyday lives with a simple and easy to use interface and it grants users with ideal traveling solutions, increasing efficiency for both the users and the transit system. Online trip planning has most definitely resulted in less confused and more knowledgeable transit goers.

I want to use wordpress access keys plugin, but don't fully understand what it does?
I'm a web designer in photoshop so not a developer with the code knowledge and have been using wordpress for just over a year.
I'd be really grateful for any advice on what are the best plugins to use for accessibility purposes?
