Post subject: HybridMoon 2013 Packers Mock V.1
This will be pretty basic because I'm doing this on my phone at work.
Sam Shields
Brad Jones
Released/Not Retained
Jeff Saturday
Greg Jennings
Donald Driver
Charles Woodson
James Starks
Jermichael Finley
Andrew Quarless
Ryan Pickett
Cedric Benson
Ryan Grant
Frank Zombo
Erik Walden
Robert Francois
Free Agency
Ahmad Bradshaw
- I believe he will be expendable by the Giants due to the late season emergence of David Wilson and the quality of play of Andre Brown. Bradshaw will be the best running back we've had since Ahman Green. He won't be expected to carry the load but has the ability to make plays in the running and passing game that we haven't seen in many years. I think his injury history will keep his salary reasonable and he'll want to continue to play for a contender.
Shaun Philips
- Ted Thompson has struggled in drafting competent defensive linemen and linebackers which is what leads to the signing of the next 2 free agents. Shaun Philips will at the very least push Nick Perry in training camp and pre-season and would leave us with the strongest back OLB we've had in our 3-4 defense. He could easily step into the starting role in the event Clay Mathews is injured or Nick Perry continues to be a disappointment
Randy Starks
- Starks is an experienced defensive lineman that has played in both the 3-4 and the 4-3 defenses that Miami has used in recent years. He's played multiple positions including NT and would add a pass rushing element we've been missing from our DE position since Cullen Jenkins. Starks is 4 years younger than Pickett and would take his position on the team.
NFL Draft

Brian Schenke, C California
Round 4.
Darius Slay, CB Mississippi State
Round 4 (comp).
Jonathan Franklin, RB UCLA
Round 5.
Duke Williams, S Nevada
Round 6.
Marquess Wilson, WR Washington State
Round 7.

I can't get behind letting Pickett, Quarless and Finley go and then not resigning Greg Jennings. Holy cow man... Then we sign an injury prone washed up Running Back, a higher end OLB when we just drafted one in the 1st round. I am fine with Starks but IMO he will get overpaid. I'd rather have Pickett than Starks just for Ryans run defense.

Where do I begin?
Ahmad Bradshaw cheap because he wants to play for a contender! That's funny, already has a ring or two.
Franklin is going back to school, and would be long gone before our second round pick.
Duke Williams in round 5.

Not really sure why everybody wants to get on the "Get rid of Pickett" bandwagon. Now...after his best game of the season we're on the "Get rid of Walden" bandwagon on top of it?
Didn't know that Perry WAS a disappointment, let alone "if he continues to be..."
I'd rather be goose hunting

once i saw that you released Pickett and signed 3 quote unquote big name FAs i lost quite a bit interest in your mock.
Released/Not Retained
Jeff Saturday - i get it
Greg Jennings - no tag and trade just let him go to FA?
Donald Driver - understood
Charles Woodson - he's not going anywhere. his contract could likely get reworked
James Starks - he will be cut in training camp if cut at all
Jermichael Finley - pretty unlikely even if we do sign Eifert
Andrew Quarless - understood
Ryan Pickett - i think this is the least likely of all you releases. Pickett is a versatile reliable guy on our d-line and you're replacing him with a FA and 7th rd pick.
Cedric Benson - understood
Ryan Grant - understood
Frank Zombo - Phillips could push him out
Erik Walden - is having his best season in the Green & Gold. is he under contract through 2013?
Robert Francois - he's a borderline guy so this wouldn't be to surprising.
not really a fan of this mock. to me this makes a very very young team again only for the purpose of being young. guys like Woodson, Walden, and Pickett are good veterans who aside from Woodson aren't breaking the bank so why let them go.?

Walden is a FA this offseason. We'll have to re-sign him. I think we'll be able to, but he may garner interest from other teams. This HAS been his best year to date.

City Manager to Resign
Cranley said the rumors that Dohoney was being forced out were not true. He said that they reached a mutual agreement on his resignation. Cranley said he had been in discussions with Dohoney since Saturday.
Dohoney will resign when Cranley is sworn into office on Dec. 1. He said he was hoping for a clean and fresh start for the city. Cranley said he will likely appoint an interim city manager until he and the new Council can formally hire someone new.
Dohoney was hired by Mayor Mark Mallory and City Council in June of 2006.
Under the terms of his contract, Dohoney will be entitled to his one-year salary of $185,000 if he is found to have been fired without cause.

Wis.-Milwaukee Team Notes
Detroit's ascent was a family affair
Horizon League is all about family.
One of the indelible images of the NCAA Tournament came in 1998 when Valparaiso senior guard Bryce Drew hit a 3-pointer to knock off No. 4 Mississippi in the first round of the tournament. Drew's shot came at the buzzer with his father, and head coach, Homer Drew standing in the background with his arms folded patiently.
The Crusaders went on to play Rhode Island in the Sweet Sixteen, where Valparaiso assistant coach Jim Harrick Jr. was matched up against his father, Rams head coach Jim Harrick Sr.
Valparaiso had its eyes on another family affair in the NCAA Tournament this year, as Bryce Drew had the Crusaders one step away from the Big Dance in his first year as head coach. The trendy storyline was that if the Crusaders won the Horizon League tournament, Bryce could be matched up against his brother Scott Drew and the Baylor Bears. The potential seeds matched up, and it looked as if the Drews were going to become a key part of March Madness all over again.
The McCallums had other ideas.
The Horizon League representative in the NCAA Tournament was still very much be a family affair, but it was Detroit head coach Ray McCallum Sr. and his son, star sophomore Ray Jr., who were the ones hoping to create some March Madness of their own.
Alas, Detroit was no match for Kansas in its first NCAA game, losing 65-50.
On March 6 in the Horizon League final, Ray Jr. had a game-high 21 points against the Crusaders in a 70-50 victory that sent the Titans back to the Big Dance for the first time since 1999. McCallum Jr. was named the MVP of the league tournament. He was joined by Detroit teammates Jason Calliste and LaMarcus Lowe on the All-tourney team along with Valparaiso's Kevin Van Wijk and Ryan Broekhoff.
Topping off the joy of Detroit's upset victory at Valparaiso was that McCallum Sr. was celebrating his 51st birthday. Knowing that he didn't get his father a birthday present yet, McCallum Jr. delivered the best present in the only way he knew how.
"I had only gotten him a card," McCallum Jr. told the Detroit Free Press. "I told him after the game, 'Dad, this is your gift, I hope you like it.' "
Moments like that were what the McCallum's had in mind when Ray Jr. chose playing for Detroit and his father over offers from bigger schools such as UCLA and Florida.
"We're changing history, bringing Detroit basketball back," McCallum Jr. told the Detroit Free Press. "To help the city of Detroit out, to put smiles on peoples' faces, that's what we did."
--The combatants in one of the most memorable games of the 2011 NCAA Tournament will meet again March 21 in the semifinals of the 2012 College Basketball Invitational.
When Butler and Pitt played the rematch March 21 in Hinkle Fieldhouse, the stakes were far lower, but the competition was just as fierce.
This time, Pitt escaped with a 68-62 overtime win.
Panthers F Lamar Patterson hit a 3-pointer in the final minute to send the game to OT, and Pitt outscored Butler 10-5 in the final 2:45 of the extra session.
"It never felt like we were in control of the game," Butler coach Brad Stevens said. "We had a lot of things we could have controlled to win that game. The difference between winning and losing is not that much, and that's why winning is really hard to do."
The defeat ends the season for the Bulldogs, who finished 22-15. It marked the end of the road for senior G Ronald Nored and senior F Garrett Butcher.
"The experience I've had here, not just basketball-wise, has been tremendous," Butcher said. "If you would have told me coming in that we would win 109 games and go to two Final Fours, I wouldn't have believed you."
When the Bulldogs and Panthers met in last year's NCAA third round, Butler upset top-seeded Pitt 71-70, with the lead going back and forth in the final minute.
With 2.2 seconds to go, a layup by Andrew Smith gave Butler a 70-69 lead. Pitt's Gilbert Brown was fouled with 1.4 seconds remaining. He made the first free throw to tie the game, then missed the second.
Matt Howard pulled down the rebound, and the Panthers' Nasir Robinson inexplicably fouled him.
Howard hit the first free throw to put the Bulldogs back on top, then missed the second intentionally. Pitt's last-second heave was off target, and Butler escaped with a win en route to its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA title game.
--In the victory over Penn, four of Butler's five starters scored in double figures. G Chrishawn Hopkins led the way with 15 points. Khyle Marshall had 12, and Roosevelt Jones and Ronald Nored had 12 points apiece. The Bulldogs manhandled the Quakers on the boards, taking a 42-26 rebounding advantage.
--Valparaiso played with a season-low six players in a 66-50 loss to Miami (Fla.) in the first-round of the NIT on March 14. The Crusaders were without key reserves Jay Harris and Matt Kenney, as both guards were out after spending part of the week in the hospital. Ryan Broekhoff was fresh out of the hospital himself, and the Horizon League Player of the Year had 18 points and seven rebounds in the loss to the Hurricanes.
Bryce Drew followed in his brother Scott's footsteps by leading the Crusaders to the NIT in his first year as coach. Scott coached Valparaiso for one season in 2002-03 before becoming the head coach at Baylor.
--Cleveland State's postseason experience ended rather abruptly with a 76-65 loss to Stanford in the first round of the NIT on March 13.
The Vikings (22-11) had 10 players score against the Cardinal, but they shot just 37.3 percent from the field and a paltry 7-of-13 from the free-throw line in the loss. Turning the ball over 21 times didn't help either.
--Milwaukee closed out its season with a first-round loss to TCU in the College Basketball Invitational on Tuesday. Senior Tony Meier scored 18 points in his final collegiate game but struggled from long range, while fellow senior Kaylon Williams had 14 points and 10 assists in the 83-73 loss.
The Panthers attempted 30 3-pointers against TCU, their most since taking 36 long-range shots against Western Michigan on Jan. 3. Milwaukee attempted at least 14 3-pointers in every game this season.
--For the first time since 2002, the league championship game (Valparaiso vs. Detroit) did not feature Butler or Milwaukee. The Bulldogs and/or Panthers had been a part of 15 of the last 16 championship games until this season.
--In the Horizon League regular season, 36 of the 90 games were within one possession in the final minute of play. During the nine games in the conference tournament, only one game (Cleveland State vs. Detroit in the semifinals) fit that criteria.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "This was the best win of my life." -- Detroit coach Ray McCallum Sr., after the Titans beat Valparaiso 70-50 in the Horizon League title game.
--Senior G Ronald Nored finished the season with 193 assists, setting a single-season record for the Bulldogs. He had at least six assists in nine of his last 13 games, and he averaged 5.2 per game for the season.
Nored grabbed two steals in the season-ending loss to Pittsburgh, leaving him tied for the school's career record. He and Thomas Jackson each had 207.
"What Ronald has meant to the school is second to none," coach Brad Stevens said. "The two seniors (Nored and F Garrett Butcher) have given so much. No two seniors we've ever had could have done a better job with this team. They stayed positive throughout the entire season."
--Valparaiso defeated Butler 65-46 in the Horizon League semifinals, handing the Bulldogs their first loss in March since March 19, 2009, a span of 1,080 days.
--The Bulldogs won 10 or more Horizon League games for a seventh straight season, extending their league record.
--The Vikings started four seniors in their NIT loss to Stanford, and Trey Harmon had a disappointing end to his collegiate career. Harmon missed all seven of his shots, including four 3-pointers, before exiting with a leg injury midway through the second half.
--Entering the NIT, the Vikings had lost six of their last eight games while playing many of them without the services of senior G D'Aundray Brown (groin injury). Brown returned for the Horizon League semifinal contest against Detroit. He played 19 minutes in the NIT loss to Stanford, but he made just one of five shots from the field and committed five turnovers before fouling out.
--The future looks bright for the Vikings, as coach Gary Waters had three freshmen on the floor for much of the second half against the Cardinal. Included among that group was guard Charlie Lee, who had eight points and six assists while filling in for Brown. Marlin Mason added eight points, and Anton Grady had 11 rebounds.
--The Vikings became the first No. 2 seed to fall in the Horizon League tournament since 2009 when they lost to Detroit 63-58.
--Senior G Jeremy Montgomery finished the season with 91 career victories, tied for the most in program history with Ken McFadden (1985-89).
--After losing at Valparaiso on Feb. 2, the Titans closed out regular season with a 6-1 record and then became just the second team in Horizon League history to win four games in the conference tournament.
--Sophomore Ray McCallum Jr. averaged 23 points in three conference tournament games at the Athletics-Recreation Center, earning MVP honors and pushing his career point total to 993 points. He then scored eight points against Kansas to finish the season with 1,001.
--The Titans avenged regular-season sweeps from Cleveland State and Valparaiso by beating the top two teams of the conference in the Horizon League tournament.
--The Phoenix had their five-game winning streak snapped in the first round of the conference tournament with a 77-60 loss at Youngstown State.
--Sophomore Alec Brown ended the regular season with a Green Bay single-season record 89 blocks, including one block in 27 of 30 games.
--Sophomore Kam Cerroni ended the regular season on a 19-game streak of hitting at least one 3-pointer in each game. Cerroni led the Horizon League in 3-point shooting at 46.6 percent.
--Junior forward Ben Averkamp scored in double figures in each of the last nine games. He will need just 11 points next season to become the 39th player in Loyola history to score 1,000 career points.
--The Ramblers finished the regular season with just a 1-17 record in the conference and lost 80-71 to eventual tournament champion Detroit in the first round. Despite the poor record, the Ramblers were playing their best basketball toward the end of the season.
--With Kaylon Williams dishing out 10 assists in the CBI loss to the Horned Frogs, the senior finished his career with a school-record 393 assists and a single-season record of 215 this season.
--Forward Tony Meier scored 18 points against TCU, but he made just 4-of-13 3-point attempts in the loss. As a team, the Panthers made 8-of-30 from long range.
--The Panthers were eliminated from the conference tournament by Butler for the third straight year when they suffered a 71-49 loss in the second round.
--Milwaukee reached the 20-win mark for the third time in coach Rob Jeter's tenure when the Panthers knocked off UIC 68-55 in the first round of the conference tournament.
--Coach Howard Moore saw his second season come to an end when the Flames fell 68-55 to Milwaukee in the first round of the conference tournament.
--The Flames played in 12 games that were decided by five points or fewer. UIC also had second-half leads in nine of its 18 losses this season.
--UIC lost all 10 Horizon League games away from the UIC Pavilion this season and went 3-6 at home in league play.
--Valparaiso was picked to finish fifth in the Horizon League, but finished 14-4 in the conference and won its first conference title since joining the Horizon League in 2007-08. The Crusaders earned a bid to the NIT but lost to Miami (Fla.) in the first round, 66-50.
--The Crusaders, who fell 70-50 to Detroit in the Horizon League championship game, are now 17-3 in the last 20 years when facing a team they swept in the regular season for a third time.
--Valparaiso's regular season-championship was its first men's basketball title since joining the Horizon League in 2007-08. After four years of never winning a regular-season title, both the men's soccer and men's basketball teams have won conference crowns this season.
--Junior Ryan Broekhoff became Valparaiso's first Horizon League Player of the Year this season and the first Crusader to win MVP honors since Lubos Barton was named the Mid-Continent Conference (now the Summit League) Player of the Year in 2001-02.
--The Crusaders are scheduled to return every scholarship player next season and will add Indiana transfer Bobby Capobianco and Jamaican big man Vashil Fernandez.
--The Raiders closed their season with a 70-52 loss to Butler in the first round of the conference tournament.
--Wright State was the sixth-youngest men's basketball team in Division I this season. The Raiders had just 0.87 years of experience per player entering the 2011-12 season.
--Newcomer of the Year Julius Mays finished the year with a league-leading 10 games of 20 or more points. Mays, a junior guard, scored the most points in a regular-season game this year with 33 against UIC.
--The Penguins advanced to the second round of the Horizon League tournament for the second time in program history and the first time since 2007.
--Sophomore Kendrick Perry scored a game-high 22 points in Youngstown State's season-ending 93-76 loss in the conference tournament, giving the guard nine 20-point performances this season.
--Junior forward Damian Eargle broke Horizon League records for blocks in a season (115), blocks in conference play (65) and career blocks in conference play (122).

Before Army, Bergdahl was discharged from Coast Guard
(NEWSER) – Joining the Army wasn't Bowe Bergdahl's first military experience: He was in the Coast Guard for 26 days. Due to his departure before 180 days of service, he was given an "uncharacterized discharge" in 2006, friends tell the Washington Post; military records confirm the story. He left due to psychological issues; friends were reportedly concerned about him at the time. How he was able to join the Army in 2008 is unclear, the Post notes. A discharge related to psychological health would generally prevent future recruitment.

by MariA few days after my spiritual epiphany, my three brothers and I received brand new, leather-bound King James Version Bibles for Christmas.On New Years' Day, we began our annual tradition of reading through the entire Bible in 365 days.We were 11, 9, 7 and 5 years of age.This ritual consisted of all of us sitting in a circle and taking turns reading 2 verses each until the assigned passages were finished.I don't know how anybody else felt about this new development, but personally, I hated it. It wasn't so much that I didn't like reading the Bible as it was that I hated that it was so ritualistic and it kept us from doing "kid" stuff.My brothers and I liked to li … [Read more...]

Proud to be a Tent Peg
By Vyckie GarrisonHoly sugar ... I should know better than to actually read the Above Rubies magazine from which I have been too lazy to cancel my subscription. But this morning I couldn't resist skimming through the pages to catch up on Colin & Nancy Campbell's ever-growing stockpile of Holy War ammunition ... er, quiver full of arrows.Whereas, every AR article used to inspire and motivate me to fight the good fight, now it all reminds me of how my desire to love and serve the Lord wholeheartedly was twisted and exploited to scam me into embracing and supporting the Patriarchy.Take this brief article by Esther MacDonald for example:Proud to be a Tent Peg A tent peg is … [Read more...]
I just don't like Above Rubies magazine
By Vyckie GarrisonMy bulk subscription to Above Rubies recently arrived in the mail. Even though I left my Quiverfull beliefs and lifestyle over five years ago, I never bothered to remove myself from Nancy Campbell's mailing list - so periodically, I still receive five copies of the magazine which claims to be "Strengthening Families Across The World."The lastest issue features a cover photo of Nancy's daughters, Pearl and Serene making their FAT STRIPPING FRAPPA (even though it's sweet, frothy, and creamy, it will strip off the pounds! ... find the recipe in their new book, Trim Healthy Mama) and headlines to make a submissive Quiverfull wife drool:We Stopped Our D … [Read more...]
Fear-Based Parenting
by Kristen Rosser aka KRWordgazerLatebloomer at Past Tense Present Progressive is blogging about Reb Bradley's book Child Training Tips. Calulu at Roadkill on the Information Superhighway is blogging about Michael and Debbi Pearl's To Train Up a Child. I'd like to chime in today with some thoughts about the method of child rearing which the two books share: they call it "Biblical parenting" or "Bible-based child training," but it bears no resemblance to the way Jesus spoke of or treated children. Instead, it takes a few proof texts (mostly from Proverbs) and builds an entire harsh, repressive and unjust regime out of them.This is not something I can remain silent about. It goes … [Read more...]
On a Lighter Note
by MariThe only time we ever got new clothes was on our birthdays and Christmas.At this point in my life, I totally understand that. I don't see the point in buying each kid a bunch of new clothes when they're going to outgrow them in a matter of weeks or months.I don't think I really cared all that much about it at the time either.But, one day, one of the neighbors gave us a gift certificate to K-Mart. (This was back when K-Mart was cool. I still have a soft spot in my heart for K-Mart because of this!) We went on a good ol' shopping spree.I got a purple corduroy skirt and purple t-shirt set.When my parents asked my little brother what he wanted, he said, "Puppy pants … [Read more...]
Why I Find Perverse Pleasure in the Sexual Peccadilloes of Evangelical Leaders
by Bruce GerencserI am quite indifferent to the sexual peccadillos of others. What consenting adults do sexually is none of my business. I think so-called sexual "sins" like adultery and fornication find their foundation in the Bible and I reject the Bible as a moral or ethical standard.We are sexual creatures. Desiring to have sex is as much a part of who we are as eating and drinking. Sexual activity, regardless of orientation, is normal and it not surprising when sexual activity overflows the banks of the Christian moral river.It doesn't surprise me that Dinesh D'Souza had sex with a woman other than his wife. Recent reports say that not only was D'Souza committing what his Chr … [Read more...]

The new year will usher in some interesting new changes in the world of malware and cyber-attacks, according to one company's predictions for 2010. Watchful eyes will have to be kept on mobile phone apps, Google Wave accounts, file sharing and peer-to-peer networks -- cyber-criminals will target those in greater numbers, according to predictions released by Kaspersky Labs, a provider of Internet threat management solutions for combating malware.
"Given the growing sophistication of threats -- it's no longer just an e-mail saying, Please click on this attachment,' and you get infected with something -- the schemes are much more elaborate than that," said Roel Schouwenberg, the company's senior malware researcher.

Got an e-mail list of customers or readers and want to know more about each such as their full name, friends, gender, age, interests, location, job and education level? Facebook has just the free feature you're looking for, thanks to its recent privacy changes. The hack, first publicized by blogger Max Klein, repurposes a Facebook feature that lets people find their friends on Facebook by scanning through e-mail addresses in their contact list.
Using a simple scraping tool, a marketer could then turn a list of e-mail addresses into a rich, full-fledged set of marketing profiles, with names, pictures, ages, locations, interests, photos, wall posts, affiliations and names of your friends, depending on how users have their profiles set.

Last year, the Internet began to be seen as a basic human right and some countries have instituted legal means of guaranteeing that the vast majority of their citizens have access to a quality Internet connection. Other countries, though, are going the other way, hindering their citizen's web use and in some cases moving to disconnect them altogether. In France, the heavily criticized and disputed, so-called "three strikes" law has come into effect starting January 1st. Its backers are quick to boast the laws unabridged effectiveness, but common sense points the other way.
How exactly the agency will determine users' email addresses, or even harder, the address they are actively using remains to be seen.

Chinese authorities caught nearly 5,400 suspects last year in a crackdown on online pornography and have vowed to strengthen Internet policing.
Beijing's pervasive policing of cyberspace and attempts to block the Internet are already among the world's most stringent. In a statement late Thursday, the Ministry of Public Security said the "purification of the Internet" and fighting of online crime are closely tied to the country's stability. "Lewd and pornographic content seriously pollutes the online environment, depraves social morals and poisons the physical and psychological health of the masses of young people," the statement said. "It must be firmly controlled."

Thanks to efforts from Microsoft Research, criminals involved in child-exploitation will have less places to hide, especially when it comes down to the nooks and crannies of the Internet. Ernie Allen, president and CEO of National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) notes that while the Internet has created new opportunities for pedophiles to access content in the privacy of their own homes, and to expose themselves less to the risks associated with their illegal activities, work has been done to identify them and bring them to justice. At the same time, PhotoDNA is designed to help stop the distribution of child-exploitation images across the web.

A court in east China has handed down jail sentences of up to three years to 11 people for their roles in online gaming scams that netted them around 140,000 dollars, state media said. Lu Yizhong and Zeng Yifu wrote malicious Trojan horse viruses to steal 5.3 million user names and passwords from online gamers, which were then used for "illegal gains", the Xinhua news agency reported late Wednesday. Defendants Yan Renhai, his girlfriend Chen Huiting and other accomplices sold or used the viruses to steal online credits, the Gulou District People's Court in Jiangsu province found, according to Xinhua.
The number of Internet gamers in China reached 217 million at the end of June, or 64.2 percent of the nation's total online population.

Internet users are being warned to watch out for a computer virus targeting popular social networking sites in the run up to Christmas.
Security experts say the new virus is "particularly nasty" and compels its victims to participate manually in creating a new Facebook account to help spread the worm. "The more people who use an application such as Facebook, or any other means of social networking, the more likely they are to be targeted by bad guys to send out malicious threats such as Koobface." The internet security company recommends that users do not reply to or follow links included in unsolicited Facebook messages and users should always carefully check that the URL they are entering is really that of the site they want to access.

Thirty percent of 17-year-olds with cell phones have received sexting photos or videos, while eight percent have sent them, according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. What's more, four percent of 12- to 17-year-olds admit they have texted sexually suggestive nude or nearly nude images of themselves to someone else. Another 15 percent said they have received such images.
Meanwhile, laws and law-enforcement practices have emerged around sexting. The Pew report notes that some law-enforcement officers and district attorneys have begun prosecuting teens who create and share such images under laws generally reserved for producers and distributors of child pornography.

Australia said Tuesday it would push ahead with a mandatory China-style plan to filter the Internet, despite widespread criticism that it will strangle free speech and is doomed to fail.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said new laws would be introduced to ban access to "refused classification" (RC) sites featuring criminal content such as child sex abuse, bestiality, rape and detailed drug use. Blacklisted sites would be determined by an independent classification body via a "public complaint" process, said Conroy, admitting there was "no silver bullet solution to cyber-safety".
They're the scourge of the Internet right now and the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation says they've also raked in more than $150 million for scammers. Security experts call them rogue antivirus programs.
The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center issued a warning over this fake antivirus software Friday, saying that Web surfers should be wary of sudden pop-up windows that report security problems on their computers. This software can appear almost anywhere on the Web. Typically, the scam starts with an aggressive pop-up advertisement that looks like some sort of virus scan. Often it's nearly impossible to get rid of the pop-up windows.

A "friendly" hacker called c0de.breaker claims to have broken into two secure internal sites at NASA's Instrument Systems and Technology and Software Engineering divisions, and snapped screen shots to prove the protected sites were intruded.
"I didn't want to make something bad!" c0de.breaker wrote in a web posting. "Only to show NASA (has) many vulnerable subdomains to SQLI (SQL injection), XSS (cross-site scripting), etc." The hacker gained access through a combination of a SQL injection and poor access controls. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration has had major problems securing its websites for years.

What do phishing, instant messaging malware, DDoS attacks and 419 scams have in common? According to Cisco Systems, they're all has-been cybercrimes that were supplanted by slicker, more menacing forms of cybercrime over the past year.
In its 2009 Annual Security Report, due to be released Tuesday, Cisco says that the smart cyber-criminals are moving on. "Social media and the data-theft Trojans are the things that are really in their ascent," said Patrick Peterson, a Cisco researcher. "You can see them replacing a lot of the old-school things."

Lessons in using the internet safely are set to become a compulsory part of the curriculum for primary school children in England from 2011.
The lessons are one element of a new government strategy being unveiled called "Click Clever, Click Safe". Children will also be encouraged to follow an online "Green Cross Code" and block and report inappropriate content. The measures have been drawn up by the UK Council on Child Internet Safety, a new body comprising 140 organisations. The campaign intends to encourage children to not give out personal information on the web, block unwanted messages on social networks and report any inappropriate behaviour to the appropriate bodies, which may include the website, teachers or even police.

The U.S. government and private businesses need to overhaul the way they look at cybersecurity, with the government offering businesses new incentives to fix security problems, the Internet Security Alliance said.
The alliance, in a report released Thursday, also called for permanent international cybersecurity collaboration centers, new security standards for VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) communications and programs to educate corporate leaders about the benefits of enhanced cybersecurity efforts. Lots of groups have called for better information security education for students, but education for enterprise leaders is often overlooked, said Joe Buonomo, president and CEO of Direct Computer Resources, a data security products vendor.

If your iPhone has been jailbroken, change your passwords now, advised Paul Ducklin, Sophos Australia's chief of technology. Ducklin said the writers of this virus included a program call "Duh", which added malicious capabilities not present in last month's ikee release.
The new password installed by this virus was "ohshit", which can be used to remove the threat of further remote attacks on an infected device. Ducklin said to clean up the device by searching the file "directory/private/var/mobile/home", type in "passwd" to initiate the command, and change the password. "Otherwise the buggers can get back in anytime they want," said Ducklin.

A computer worm that China warned Internet users against is an updated version of the Panda Burning Incense virus, which infected millions of PCs in the country three years ago, according to McAfee.
The original Panda worm, also known as Fujacks, caused widespread damage at a time when public knowledge about online security was low, and led to the country's first arrests for virus-writing in 2007. The new worm variant, one of many that have appeared since late 2006, adds a malicious component meant to make infection harder to detect.

Vasiljevic leads the way in Tornados defeat to Young HarrisJanuary 30, 2012
Gist blocks three shots in the loss to the Mountain Lions
Young Harris, Ga. - Five Mountain Lions were in double-digits on Monday evening in the YHC Basketball Arena, as the Tornados fell on the road despite an 11 point performance by Aleksandar Vasiljevic.
An early 11-2 second half run by Young Harris (15-3) helped the hosts pull away from the Tornados (3-17) as the Mountain Lions led by as many as in recording the season sweep over the Brevard.
Vasiljevic led the Tornados with 11 points on 5-for-9 shooting from the floor as the Tornados shot 34.7 percent (25-72) from the floor in the contest. Gaither Hendrix, Dominique Pickett and Jermichael Tanner added eight points apiece, while Michael Gist had three blocked shots in the loss.
Frank Adams led all scorers with 18 points, while Vince Martin finished the contest with 17 as the Mountain Lions topped the Tornados for the second time on the season. Colin Cook added 14 points and nine blocked shots, while Steve Viterbo recorded the double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Bryson Robertson added 10 points in the win.
Robertson opened the scoring for the Mountain Lions in the contest, scoring on the opening possession for Young Harris as the hosts held the early lead in the contest. Young Harris went up 11-6 following a Viterbo layup, but a dunk by Michael Gist on the fast break put the score at 11-8 with 13:11 left in the first half.
The Mountain Lions rattled off the next six points as Viterbo drained a pair from the free throw line and Adams drove in for a pair of layups to put Young Harris up 17-8 at the 11:52 mark. The Tornados battled back, going on a 13-4 run over the next three minutes as Tanner, Gist and Moose all drove to the basket to knot the game up at 21 all following a Tanner free throw with 8:44 to play in the half.
Jackson ended the BC run with a pair of free throws as the Mountain Lions went on an 8-0 run capped by a Robertson dunk at the 5:53 mark to go up 29-21. Young Harris would go up by as many as 12 in the first half, holding the 35-23 advantage with 3:54 on the clock on a Robertson jump shot, but a Hendrix three-pointer and a pair of layups by Vasiljevic in the final minute sent the teams into the halftime break with the Mountain Lions holding the 37-30 advantage.
Robertson and Vasiljevic traded baskets to open the second half, but the Mountain Lions built a double-digit lead on their next possession as Jackson drained a three-pointer from the top of the key at the 18:29 mark as Young Harris went up 42-32. The Tornados brought the game back to within six on Tanner's three-pointer with 13:18 on the clock, cutting the lead to 49-43, but an 11-2 YHC run extended the lead to 15 at 60-45 on a Martin free throw with 8:34 remaining.
Young Harris went up by as many as 23 following a Martin three-pointer as Brevard fell on the road at the YHC Basketball Arena, 80-58.
Brevard returns home to the friendly confines of Boshamer Gymnasium on Wednesday, February 1st as they welcome South Atlantic Conference opponent Carson-Newman College. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Eagles in Brevard, N.C. is set for 8 p.m.

BALTIMORE - Loyola University Maryland's Patrick Fanshaw scored an extra-man goal 47 seconds in the second half to tie the game at 6-6, but No. 19 Denver University scored six unanswered goals and the Pioneers defeated the 17th-ranked Greyhounds, 12-8, on Wednesday night at Ridley Athletic Complex in ECAC Lacrosse League action.
Denver (4-2 overall, 1-0 ECAC) was whistled for an unnecessary roughness penalty nine seconds in to the second half, as Brendan DeBlois checked Loyola face-off specialist John Schiavone in front of the crease, and the Greyhounds went on the extra-man.
Chris Basler found Fanshaw camped in front of the goal, and the sophomore scored to even the game at 6-6.
Neither the Greyhounds (3-2, 1-1), nor Denver scored for nearly eight minutes, however, until Alex Demopoulos tallied a goal for the Pioneers with 6:30 left in the third quarter.
Just six seconds later Mark Matthews scored in an unsettled situation, and the Pioneers were on the run.
"We tied it at 6-6, and Denver made a heck of a run," Head Coach Charley Toomey said. "Going from 6-6 to 12-6, playing from behind, took the wind out of our sails."
Denver scored five goals in the game that came during transition situations after face-offs. Chase Carraro, who won 11-of-23 restarts for the Pioneers, tallied two goals in the first half.
After Matthew's goal made Denver's lead 8-6, Cameron Flint converted an extra-man opportunity for the Pioneers, scoring unassisted with 1:17 to go in the third quarter.
A Carraro win at the `X' to start the fourth frame led to a Demopoulos goal 13 seconds into the period, and Todd Baxter tallied a goal 16 ticks after that off a Jeremy Noble assist.
Matthews capped the Pioneers' run with his second goal during the stretch, pushing Denver's advantage to six, 12-6, with 13:22 remaining in the game.
Loyola added two late goals - Sawyer off a Matt Langan assist with 2:06 left, and an unassisted tally by Langan with 1:46 to go - to provide the final difference.
Sawyer scored the game's first goal just 47 seconds in, ripping a shot from over 10 yards out, but Eric Law evened the score with 11:52 left in the first quarter, spurring another Denver run, this one of the 4-0 variety.
Carraro scored his first of the game with 90 seconds left in the opening quarter, and he then pulled out the ball on the ensuing face-off, and Cameron Flint picked up the ground ball and went to goal, scoring eight seconds later.
Noble capped the 4-0 run 1:48 into the second quarter to make Denver's lead 4-1.
Sawyer scored his second unassisted goal of the game at the 8:40 mark in the second, stemming the tide for Loyola, and Stephen Murray pulled the Greyhounds within a goal with an extra-man goal at the 6:43 mark.
Carraro picked up the ground ball on the next face-off, and pushed Denver's lead back to a pair five seconds later.
Davis Butts scored for Loyola with 3:19 to go in the half, but Baxter took a Demopoulos feed and extended Denver's lead back to two 28 seconds after that. Sawyer, however, ripped off his third of the half with 2:16 to play, making it a one-goal game, 6-5, at the break.
Sawyer led all players with four goals for the Greyhounds. He now has scored 14 in his last three games. Josh Hawkins had a career-high nine ground balls.
Five Denver players - Baxter, Demopoulos, Flint, Matthews and Carraro - scored two each. Baxter had three assists, and Demopoulos added two.
The Greyhounds return to ECAC Lacrosse League action quickly, as they travel to Colorado Springs for a 1 p.m. (Mountain)/3 p.m. (Eastern) game on Saturday at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

Today is
WELCOME to Palau Shark Sanctuary
• Palau Shark Sanctuary was founded in 2001 in an effort to end the annihilation of Palau's sharks as a result of rampant shark-finning at the hands of foreign long-line fishing vessels licensed by Palau to fish in their waters. Palau Shark Sanctuary seeks a declaration by Palau establishing the waters of Palau's Exclusive Economic Zone as a sanctuary for all sharks.
•"Shark-finning" is the process of catching sharks, cutting off their fins and throwing the rest of the fish, still alive, back into the ocean to die. Sharks drown because they cannot swim without fins. The fins are prized throughout Asia for use in sharks fin soup and supposed medicines.
• Then Palau President Mr. Tommy E. Remengesau Jr., became a key supporter of the efforts of Palau Shark Sanctuary and in May 2003 he publicly set fire to shark fins found aboard a foreign vessel caught fishing illegally in Palau waters; in September 2003 he signed in to law some of the toughest anti-shark-finning legislation in the world.
In 2004, President Remengesau received an award from Sharkproject naming Palau as Shark Guardian of the Year.
• Through education and awareness programmes, lobbying and active public relations Palau Shark Sanctuary supports international efforts to end shark-finning.

Asthma - child - discharge
Your child has asthma, which causes the airways of the lungs to swell and narrow. In the hospital, the doctors and nurses helped your child breathe better.
What to Expect When You Get Home
Most children will still have asthma symptoms after they leave the hospital.
- Your child's wheezing and coughing may last for up to 5 days.
- Your child's sleeping and eating may take up to a week to return to normal.
- You may need to take time off work to care for your child.
Take Charge of Your Child's Asthma at Home
Make sure you know the asthma symptoms to watch out for in your child. See also: Signs of an asthma attack
You should know how to take your child's peak flow reading and what it means. See also: How to use your peak flow meter
- Know your child's personal best number.
- Know your child's peak flow reading that tells you their asthma is getting worse.
- Know your child's peak flow reading that shows you need to call their doctor.
Keep the phone number of your child's doctor or nurse with you.
Triggers may make asthma symptoms worse. Know which triggers make your child's asthma worse and what to do when this happens.
- Pets
- Smells from chemicals and cleaners
- Grass and weeds
- Smoke
- Dust
- Cockroaches
- Rooms that are moldy or damp
See also: Stay away from asthma triggers
Know how to prevent or treat asthma that comes on when your child is active. These things might trigger your child's asthma:
- Cold or dry air
- Smoky or polluted air
- Grass that has just been mowed
- Starting and stopping an activity too fast. Try to make sure your child warms up before being very active and cools down after.
Understand your child's asthma medicines and how they should be taken. These include:
- Control medicines that your child takes every day
- Quick-relief asthma drugs when your child has symptoms
Keep Smoking away from Your Child
No one should smoke in your house. This includes you, your visitors, your child's babysitters, and anyone else who comes to your house.
Smokers should smoke outside and wear a coat. The coat will keep smoke particles from sticking to their clothes. They should leave the coat outside, or away from the child.
Ask people who work at your child's day care, preschool, school, and anyone else who takes care of your child, if they smoke. If they do, make sure they smoke away from your child.
School and Asthma
Children with asthma need a lot of support at school. They may need help from school staff to keep their asthma under control and to be able to do school activities.
There should be an asthma action plan at school. The following people should have a copy of the plan:
- Your child's teacher
- The school nurse
- The school office
- Gym teachers and coaches
Your child should be able to take asthma medicines at school when needed.
School staff should know what things make your child's asthma worse. These are called "triggers." Your child should be able to go to another location to get away from asthma triggers, if needed.
See also: Asthma and school

- Your child is a having a hard time breathing:
- Your child's chest muscles are pulling in with each breath.
- Your child is breathing faster than 50 to 60 breaths per minute (when not crying).

Can it really be that easy? Yes, it can!
Todd Gross's Review
Special message from Gary Nugent
Subject: Building Your Virtual Real Estate Empire Just Became Really Easy...
Chubby cheeks free chubby cheeks poem video free humpty dumpty poem video

Ever tried building a website with WordPress? Are you tired of how long it takes to get a WordPress blog up and running - I don't mean the base install, but the plugins you need to add and the setup time for all of them? And then you have to find content. And then there's all the additional plugins you have to buy to monetize your blog. Those costs really start adding up.
Wouldn't it be nice if you could build a fully functional website, populated with content, monetized with your choice of ad networks; one that contains dynamic content to keep the search engines coming back? And all with the click of a few buttons?
That solution is SiteBuilder Elite.
Building a quality website with the likes of WordPress can take a huge amount of time and many people are frustrated at the low levels of money they earn from Adsense ads placed on their sites.
Instead of putting all your time into one website that might no pay off, why not put a small amount of time into many websites and start building a Virtual Real Estate Empire. Now each website might only earn a small amount each day, but the more sites you have, the more those earnings accumulate.

Most look very cheap
You have to modify them to suit your content and tailor them to your affiliate promotions - read: you need to know HTML and/or PHP
If any content is provided, it's static, unchanging, and the search engine spiders, along with visitors will get bored looking at it
And, most importantly, 100s if not 1,000s of others are using exactly the same templates and content
That hardly leads to a dynamic, unique website. Google hates duplicate content and you don't stand a chance of being remotely unique in a sea of sameness unless you start individualising your sites. And, guess what? You're back to square one, putting a lot of time into each site to make it different.
But there is a solution...
And why stop at one website? Build as many as you need.
Make your sites as simple as you want or as sophisticated as you want. You don't need to know HTML or PHP to create your sites (although some HTML or PHP knowledge will help you customise your websites more).
All you need do is select your options, type in some site-related information and click a button.

Very simple. Each new website requires a little preparation - such as buying a domain
name and web hosting (cheap options are covered in the manual), creating an optional header graphic for it, set what
colors you want and so on.
You will also need to create a list of keywords, each of which
will become a unique page on your new site. Depending on the number of keywords in
your list, your site can have 10s, 100s or 1000s of pages (though sites perform best with 10-500 pages). How many pages you create is up to you. There are many keyword research tools available, both free (like the Google Adwords Tool) and paid (like Market Samurai, NicheReaper or Keyword Blaze), which will give you the words and phrases people type in when they're searching for something - the words and phrases your pages will be built around. Keyword tool suggestions are provided in the manual but I've collated 12 free keyword research videos here that show how to use Market Samurai for this task.
Work efficiently and you can easily build at least one new site a day.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so you probably want to see a site created with SiteBuilder Elite. So here are some examples...

Hey guys, I'm going to Florida in about a month for work and recreation, I am staying near the Orlando area.
I was wondering which of these beaches are the safest (FEWEST sharks and most manageable rip currents) and best for my surfing level?
Cocoa Beach
Sebastian Inlet
Vero Beach
Wabasso Beach
I have been surfing for several years in New Jersey (mostly fun-sized board/longboard) and I typically surf best in waist-chest high water. Some experience in surfing shoulder-head high too but mostly the former.
Any tips/suggestions are GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Sir Mix-a-Lot Will Do "Baby Got Back" With Seattle Symphony
Sonic Evolution is a series that features the Seattle Symphony and music from various Seattle music icons. The series has adapted songs by Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, and Alice in Chains in the past.
Now, they're taking on Sir Mix-a-Lot.
The new orchestral arrangement was written by composer Gabriel Prokofiev. He tells The Quietus, "All of the most famous people had been done. But when I got the list, the one person who hadn't been done who I thought were really interesting was Sir Mix-a-Lot. He's a Nineties rapper; he's quite humorous and a fun guy. So I'm orchestrating two of his most famous hits, and he's actually going to rap on stage with orchestra."

CLAREMONT - City and Golden State Water Co. officials continue to clash over water rates while a councilman accuses the water company of trying to split the community over the issue.
The City Council is scheduled to meet in closed session on Oct. 23 to discuss an appraisal of the water company's assets, with an eye toward the possibility of obtaining them.
In September, Golden State mailed out a flier to homeowners with a map of Claremont that detailed water use showing the highest water usage occurred in neighborhoods on the north side of the city.
At the Sept. 25 council meeting, Councilman Sam Pedroza referred to the map, saying he thought Golden State was trying to split the city.
"My feeling was they're trying to get the southern part of Claremont to be upset at the northern part by a map like that," Pedroza said.
"The bottom line is it's not so much consumption although that's a major factor when discussing water usage, but it's the cost of the consumption that is the issue here."
In response to the company mailer, Claremont officials sent out their own in late September at a cost of $4,500, stating, "Golden State Water Company's claims - including one that the City will raise property taxes to buy the water system in Claremont - are factless and illustrate how desperate the company has become."
Golden State has been fighting with customers in Claremont, Barstow and Apple Valley and other Southern California communities over rate hikes and profits made by the company's parent, San Dimas-based American States Water Co.
The privately owned water company attributed $300,000 in recent profits to rate increases approved on Jan. 1 by the state Public Utilities Commission for regions that include Claremont, Barstow, Wrightwood and Apple Valley.
A proposed settlement between Golden State, the state Division of Ratepayer Advocates, and Utility Reform Network, a utility customer advocacy group, in connection with a general rate water increase agreement, would mean Claremont's 11,000 customers and ratepayers in Region 3 would receive a 15.1 percent increase in rates in 2013. There will be another 2 percent increase in 2014 and a 1.8 percent increase in 2015.
Claremont city officials and a group of residents called Claremonters Against Outrageous Water Rates have been pushing back against the water company about what they say are its high rates and lack of transparency, which the water company disputes.
Hal Hargrave, of the Claremonters group, agreed with Pedroza's take about the Sept. 11 flier.
"We believe they're trying to divide and conquer the city with their last PR piece," Hargrave said. "The clear use of water north of Foothill opposed to south of Foothill. But the size of the lots are not in the red (portions of the map)."
Water company spokesman Mitch Zak denied the suggestion that the Sept. 11 mailer was meant to pit Claremonters against each other.
"There's no basis for that suggestion to us," Zak said. "We're providing information to our customers."
Zak said there was no benefit to the community by Claremont officials possibly using eminent domain to take over GSW's assets, as the water company will not sell.
CBS investigative reporter David Goldstein on Sept. 24 broadcast a piece about Golden State in which he reported that company CEO Robert Sprowls received $1.6 million last year in executive compensation.
Claremont officials issued a news release about the broadcast the next day saying it came on the heels of the city's opposition to GSW's rate increases. The release said the city was exploring how to bring an end to the water company's "abuse in Claremont."
Golden State issued its own news release about the piece the same day saying they provided Goldstein with the information he asked for and offered an "unrestricted interview" with a company spokesman but he refused.
Hargrave has said if he were to move to La Verne his bill would decrease nearly $300, but Zak and Golden State officials have said water companies from different cities can't be compared to Claremont because of the individual assets and other reasons.
Freeman Allen, of nonprofit Sustainable Claremont and the League of Woman Voters of the Claremont Area, published a piece in the Claremont Courier arguing that the water companies can be examined with a comparison of La Verne and Claremont.
"I've gone out of my way to show you can compare them," Allen said.
Allen offered a response to the claim that homeowners would bear the full cost for an eminent domain takeover, through a property tax increase or additional fees.
"Claremont water users now pay an estimated $8 million more per year than they would under La Verne rates," Allen wrote.
"If that money was used for a bond to purchase the system, even at a cost of more than $100 million, there would be money left over to reduce rates significantly. And in the future we would determine our own rates, not Golden State Water and the CPUC."
Zak said, "We respect our customers and appreciate when they offer their opinion on water issues. Golden State values the opportunity to have an ongoing dialogue with residents about the need to ensure Claremont continues to receive high quality water and customer service."
The City Council closed session meeting about the appraisal will take place at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 23 at City Hall, 207 N. Harvard Ave. The regular meeting starts at 6:30 p.m.
A League of Women Voters of the Claremont Area appointed a task force to study water services and issues involving in purchasing the water company in 2006 and found if the water company's Claremont assets were purchased the cost would be more than $100 million.
Zak said the "eminent domain takeover would be very costly. It would not provide a financial benefit to customers or a service benefit."
American States, through its subsidiaries, provides water service to one out of every 36 Californians, in 75 communities in 10 California counties in Northern and Southern California.
The company also distributes electricity in the Big Bear Valley via Bear Valley Electric Services.
