Flacco no fan of cold-weather Super Bowl
Associated Press
Last updated January 29, 2013
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco apologized for his word selection in criticizing the NFL's decision to hold next year's Super Bowl in an outdoor stadium at a cold-weather site.
On Monday, Flacco was asked about the game being played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
''I think it's retarded. I probably shouldn't say that. I think it's stupid,'' he said.
On Tuesday, he was contrite.
''Obviously, it was a poor choice of words,'' he said. ''At home, I have a close relationship with Special Olympics. I didn't mean to offend anyone.''
Flacco would like nothing more than to return to the Super Bowl next year, even if it might be in freezing conditions for the first time. It's in his home state to boot.
The fifth-year pro from Audubon, N.J., preparing for Sunday's Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers, is not a fan of playing the next big game in East Rutherford.
''I think it's obvious reasons,'' Flacco said. ''They've done it the way they've been doing it for 47 years. There's a lot that goes into this game, more than just playing the game: It's about the fans and it's about the players that played for the right to get there. There are a lot of things that go into it and it's just kind of a crazy decision, I believe.''
NFL HONORS: Celebrity presenters for ''NFL Honors,'' the TV show featuring The Associated Press awards, will include Steve Carell and Channing Tatum.
The program will air Saturday night, Super Bowl eve, from 9-11 p.m. EST on CBS, which also is televising the game on Sunday.
Other presenters will include Connie Britton, Jason Clarke, Josh Charles, Craig Ferguson, Nina Dobrev, Jeremy Renner, Olivia Munn, and Zoe Saldana.
The AP will present the league's MVP, Coach of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year, and Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the Year during ''NFL Honors.''
Actor Alec Baldwin will host the show, which will feature live performances from One Republic and New Orleans' natives The Soul Rebels.
NECKLACE? WHAT NECKLACE? 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh was asked about the ''necklace'' he wears on the sideline during games that includes a Sharpie. He seemed taken aback.
''Well I take great offense that you call it a necklace. It's a whistle,'' he said with a smile, drawing laughs from the media. ''It's a coaches' whistle that coaches have long worn around their neck. I believe every coach should have a whistle. It's hard to imagine going out to practice without a whistle.
''Then I just put a pen onto the whistle string. It's not complicated at all. If I need a pen, it's just right there.''
MOSS WANTS MORE: Last week, the Ravens' Ed Reed said he plans to be back for another season. On Tuesday, the 49ers' Randy Moss said he wants to come back, too.
One of the first questions Moss was asked when the 49ers kicked off Super Bowl media day Tuesday was whether Sunday's game would be the final one of his 14-year, five-team, potential Hall of Fame career.
''I've thought about it,'' the 35-year-old Moss said, ''I do want to play another year.''
Moss has seen limited playing time this season with 28 catches for 434 yards and three TDs, plus five catches for 71 yards in the playoffs.
The 34-year-old Reed promised to be ''playing next year,'' ending speculation he was about to call it a career. Reed, a nine-time Pro Bowler and probable Hall of Famer, is finishing his 11th season, and was one of only two players on the Ravens' defense to start all 16 regular-season games. He has a club record 61 interceptions and the NFL-record of 1,541 yards in interception returns.
NEVER TUCKERED OUT: Ravens kicker Justin Tucker was extremely patient telling every single person just how much it means to be an undrafted rookie in the Super Bowl.
Even the guy who asked him to answer a series of questions in hash tags, Twitter-style.
''In Twitter hash tags? All right, let's try it out,'' Tucker responded to the odd request in a day full of them.
Being at the Super Bowl? ''Hash tag, awesome.''
Beyonce Knowles? ''Hash tag, awesome.''
Destiny's Child reunion? ''I mean, hash tag, awesomer, I guess. That's a pretty good group.''
Winning the Super Bowl? ''Hash tag, unbelievable.''
DANCIN' NINER: The 49ers' podium move of the day goes to Vernon Davis. The tight end sat up straight in his seat and demonstrated longtime long-snapper Brian Jennings' unique pregame ritual for the media day crowd. Davis crossed his arms in front of his face and fluttered them in a smooth, downward motion.
Yoga or tai chi, perhaps?
''It's yoga, tai chi,'' Davis said. ''It's weird, but it works for him.''
Davis' pregame routine sounds rather boring in comparison: He eats lots of vegetables and a chicken breast.
MARYLAND CONNECTION: The University of Maryland has produced several notable NFL quarterbacks, including Boomer Esiason, Frank Reich and Neil O'Donnell.
The quality of quarterbacks in College Park hasn't been up to that standard lately, but there will be two Terrapins with solid hands playing in the Super Bowl.
Tight end Vernon Davis will start for San Francisco and wide receiver Torrey Smith is starting for Baltimore.
''He's one of the greatest Terps,'' Smith said of Davis. ''He's a great guy and we hang out in the offseason.''
This isn't for bragging rights.
''We're not really playing against each other since we're on the same side of the ball,'' Smith said. ''And so, either way, the University of Maryland wins.''

Coming Soon
Kevin Sbraga to Open The Fat Ham
Around quarter past nine this morning, Kevin Sbraga sent a relatively cryptic tweet: "Today starts a new chapter in my life..." Before we could wonder too long what he meant, news hit our inbox that the Top Chef season 7 winner has signed a lease for his second restaurant, The Fat Ham. Even more exciting is the launch date - Sbraga intends to open the doors to his sophomore venture as soon as this fall.
The Fat Ham will focus on the cuisine of the American South. Sbraga latched onto the concept after marveling at the positive response his country fried lobster dish received when he offered it as a special at his eponymous Broad Street restaurant, which serves a much more general and more high-end "modern American" menu. At the new restaurant, a "pork-centric" lineup will feature Southern classics like pimento cheese, Carolina gold rice, country ham, hot fish and housemade pickles.
The quick turnaround is partly due to the fact that The Fat Ham will take over the spot previously home to Tria Wine Room at 3131 Walnut Street, just over the Schuylkill in University City. Renovations by Eimer Design, the firm responsible for the elegant interior at Sbraga, will bring a rustic Southern countryside look with eclectic tableware, chairs and artwork. Expect around 45 seats across the dining room, the patio and the bar.
Cocktails at the bar will center around whiskey and bourbon, and at least two drinks will be offered on tap, including a seasonal julep and sweet tea. Local draft beers will be complemented by Southern crafts in bottles.
Aside from the country fried lobster, which is a definitely on the menu, other dishes Sbraga's teasing include smoked lamb ribs, pigs' feet with tomato gravy and pepper-crusted bacon. When it opens the Fat Ham will serve dinner 5-10 PM, Sunday-Thursday and 5-11 PM, Friday and Saturday.

Hostess Brands on the Brink
If unions don't stop striking, "the company will probably liquidate everything in a matter of days."
Few things are sadder than the triumph of ideology over reality. Yet it appears that the bakers union at Hostess Brands, an iconic company best known for such products as Wonder Bread and Twinkies, prefers running the company completely into the ground, rather than accept the necessary cuts in employees' pay, health and pension plans that would keep it afloat. On Monday, another dose of reality was added to the mix: Chief Executive Gregory Rayburn announced that Hostess would be shutting down plants in Seattle, St. Louis and Cincinnati – permanently. Six-hundred twenty-seven jobs will be lost permanently. "Our customers will not be affected because we will continue to serve them from other Hostess Brands bakeries," said Rayburn in a press release. "We deeply regret this decision, but…we will close the entire company if widespread strikes cripple our business."
The unions apparently can't read the writing on the wall. Hostess filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January 2012 for the second time since 2004. The company cited the high cost of pensions and outstanding debt as the reasons for that filing. In October, the company filed a plan with the federal bankruptcy court in New York. It called for an 8 percent cut to employees' wages, a reduction in health benefits, and a freeze in pension plan payments for over two years. In return, unionized employees would get a 25 percent equity stake in the company, two seats on its board of directors, and an interest-bearing note worth $100 million. The 8 percent wage cut was part of a five-year deal that included a 3 percent wage increase in the next three years and a 1 percent raise in the final year.
On October 3, Judge Robert Drain of the United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York approved the motion to impose changes to collective bargaining agreements with the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (BCTGM), which represents 6,600 Hostess employees. This decision followed a rejection by the union in September to such cuts. According to Hostess, one of the key drivers of this agreement was the failure to find a third party interested in buying the company. Because that didn't happen, Hostess was forced to deal with existing lenders who agreed to fund Hostess's exit from Chapter 11 in exchange for employee concessions.
Ironically, Hostess's decision to seek relief in court was driven by the fact that the one of the company's other major unions, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, voted narrowly to accept the proposed agreement. Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Ken Hall characterized accepting the agreement as "a difficult decision." Hall further noted that the Teamsters were "frustrated at being in the position to bail out the company again, but overall were willing to accept modifications with the hope that Hostess will recover and be in a better position in the years to come," he said in a statement. Last Sunday, the Teamsters claimed they didn't know about the impending strike by the BCTGM.
Whether they did or not is largely irrelevant. The BCTGM whose 5,680 workers account for about 30 percent of Hostess's total work force, kicked off their strike last Friday, citing the "horrendous contract" the company imposed as motivation. "The BCTGM International Union stands in full and uncompromising support of our striking members," BCTGM International President Frank Hurt said in a statement Friday.
Thus, as of Monday, 23 of Hostess's 36 plants had picket lines set up in front of them. About half of those 23 plants were still able to produce and deliver products, due to the reality that management, as well as some union members who were not striking, crossed the picket lines to work.
Hostess spokesman Lance Ignon once again stressed what the BCTGM refuses to hear. "If we're not able to resolve this issue, the company will probably liquidate everything in a matter of days," he revealed. "There's a misconception that there is a buyer set to buy Hostess. That is simply not the case. There is no white knight waiting to purchase Hostess and willing to provide better wage and compensation packages."
Hurt was unimpressed. "Hostess Brands is making a mockery of the labor relations system that has been in place for nearly 100 years," he said in a statement. "Our members are not just striking for themselves, but for all unionized workers across North America who are covered by collective bargaining agreements." He further stressed that while he is aware liquidation is a real possibility "people will only take so much" when it comes to wage and benefit reductions.
Adding to the intrigue, the Teamsters, who crossed picket lines over the weekend and are currently cooperating with the company to deliver baked goods around the nation, may reconsider their position. On Monday, Secretary-Treasurer Hall noted that his union was examining various contract provisions, specifying what actions various Teamster locals can take when another Hostess labor group goes on strike. If it is determined that honoring the BCTGM picket line is contractually sanctioned, the 7,500 Teamsters that represent about 40 percent of Hostess's labor force will join the walkout.
Thus, the statement by CEO Rayburn, that the timeline to decide whether or not forego re-organization and begin wind-down proceedings can be measured in "days, not weeks," has made no impression. "This is a situation that needs to be resolved in days and not weeks, so it's really going to hinge on whether the bakers who are striking decide to come back to work," Rayburn insisted. He further noted that the bakers union has made no specific demands and that the two parties are not engaged in negotiations. Rayburn also stressed the company has "zero" tolerance for re-vamping the court-ordered deal reached in October.
Last week, the company announced that a widespread strike would prompt them "to liquidate if we are unable to produce or deliver products" and it would then lay off most of its 18,300-member workforce "and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders." Yet the BCTGM remains immovable. On its website, it maintains that even if Hostess emerges from bankruptcy under the current plan, "it will still have too much debt, too high costs and not enough access to cash to stay in business for the long term."
Ironically, the largest amount of that debt is owed to the unions themselves. When Hostess filed with the bankruptcy court, the company disclosed that its biggest unsecured creditor is the Bakery & Confectionary Union & Industry International Pension Fund, which it owes approximately $944.2 million. Its second-largest unsecured creditor, Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan, is owed about $11.8 million. Hostess's entire debt obligation is just over $1 billion. Thus, Hostess workers likely face not only a loss of their jobs, but their pensions as well, if the company goes under.
Hostess workers' compensation range from $16-$18 per hour on the low end, to more than $80K on the high end. Yet University of Indiana professor reveals the reality of the business model. "The business is very much small profit margins, high labor cost," he said. "So if you cannot reduce your hourly cost and if you cannot reduce your healthcare expenses, then you just can't compete. The profit margins just aren't big enough."
Are such wages, plus benefits and healthcare, better than nothing? That is for the union workers to decide. Unlike their public sector counterparts, they are faced with the reality that the ultimate arbiter here is liquidation. As of now, that means nothing to the BCTGM. Within the next couple of weeks, nothing may be what remains where Hostess Brands used to be.

Journal Journal: Random Music Rant
It's odd. I went through my Launch music station (I've been a member since the pre-Yahoo! days) and relized how much my tastes in music have changed. Regardless, my station still looks really weird when you open it up and see:
beanie_bari's Station
Featuring: Gwar, The Rolling Stones, Frank Zappa, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Bloodhound Gang, Talking Heads, No Use For A Name, The Pietasters, Herbie Hancock, Dizzy Gillespie
My tastes in music are diverse indeed! Who has GWAR and Dizzy Gillespie in the same list? (I don't know, I'm too lazy to search.) I feel that my tastes in music have matured over the past few years since I last started up Launch. (I'm still dismayed by the lack of non-IE browser support.) But Yes, Eric Clapton, and Jimi Hendrix were on my "Do Not Listen" list. I mean, what the fuck. (Piece of shit, "server is experiencing problems" in the middle of a Zappa guitar solo. Die Launch!) But what has pushed my tastes in music in this direction? It's hard to say. I've become markedly atheistic in the last year or so (I was forced through Catholicism through the first 18 years of my life, but remained doubtful), and embrace the freethought that is expressed in classic rock (despite the fact that it was probably drug-induced). Zappa ranks up there as a personal hero (both for his musically-intellectual recordings, and his thoughts), Yes is musically stimulating, as is Hendrix and Clapton.
But the most influential thing that moved my tastes this way has been downfall of alternative rock. It's dead. It sucks. Good Charlotte? Sell-out crappy punk. Blink182 likewise. (To The Offspring: Please go back to the way you were.) The Ataris? Sell-out emo. (If you want to sing about sad stuff, it sounds better as a fast ska song--see Catch-22's Kristina) Linkin Park? It's not even ROCK! What the HELL is going on with rock? It's dying. The only somewhat pure forms have gone underground--System of a Down, most good punk rock bands, almost any metal that isn't contaminated with techno-crap and record-scratching, etc. The White Stripes are attempting to bring rock back to its edgy roots, but they're not very good. (They need a good drummer quite badly.) I can't stand alternative rock anymore. I used to be a devout listener, but it's now awful shit. *flips vintage Marantz receiver over to local Alternative station* Lookie, another band with guitars singing about nothing. No profound lyrics designed to "stick it to the man", no groundbreaking drum solos, no keyboards, no harmonicas or horns, just whiny ballads. I can't stand it. *Flips receiver back to classic rock station, just in time to hear the end of Golden Earring's "Radar Love"* I mean, why can't there be another good band that creates real music? And if there is, will it ever go mainstream and bring with it a revival of good music? I'd love to see a band that has the same skills as Pink Floyd come along and move it into this century.
This has been a pointess rant. I just don't feel like programming my homework assignment.
Oh, look, a semi-appropriate Slashdot quote.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. -- Pink Floyd

Tanaka going to Seattle to see Dr. Ahmad
Masahiro Tanaka will fly to Seattle to visit Yankees team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad. There's no definite word on when he'll fly out there, but it will happen soon, possibly tomorrow.
Seems odd that Tanaka, not Dr. Ahmad, would be the one to fly across the country, but Dr. Ahmad is at a conference with the top orthopedic surgeons in the world. The Yankees feel that can take advantage of that, be proactive, and put Tanaka in a place where any necessary expert — depending on what Dr. Ahmad finds — will be available to check on him.
"They're in a huge conference," Joe Girardi said.

Product No. 12491
The Dangerous Power G series have been highly popular due to their compact light design while providing the same great features that some high end guns have built in. The new Dangerous Power G5 has a gas through grip design that removes the hoseline from the paintball gun, which helps decrease the amount of leaks and also removes the chance of the the hose line getting caught in the woods. The new Wave trigger gives players a solid and smooth trigger pull, that helps you maintain a high rate of fire so you keep raining down paintballs on your opponents. The redesign bolt allows all grades of paintballs to be shot from the gun with it's even flow face, which allows the bolt to shoot from field grade to tournament grade paintballs without having to worry about it breaking in your gun! The new RipTide regulator features 7 stationary o-rings and lighter components which allow for faster response rate, which gives you more consistent velocity at time of shooting and help you take accurate shots. The Dangerous Power G5 combines great features for beginners or advanced players who are looking for an affordable speedball marker who want to stand up against players who have $1000+ guns.

Route du Rhum update
Tuesday November 26th 2002, Author: James Boyd, Location: Transoceanic
The third and final 60ft trimaran to arrive was Lalou Roucayrol on
Banque Populaire who finished at 19:46:00 GMT in a time of 14 days 07 hours 01 minute 00 seconds.
Roucayrol's race was remarkable because he was the only 60ft trimaran who didn't stop, but was held up when he attempted a flier by sailing to the north of the Azores High. At times this route was looking good (the high was shifting east) but then the high reformed right in his path.

Showbiz Sandbox 261: Sony Hack Gives New Meaning To The Term Box Office Bomb
December 16, 2014
As if Sony Pictures didn't have enough to worry about with all their corporate emails and documents being leaked by hackers, now the perpetrators of the cybercrime have threatened movie theaters showing "The Interview" with terrorist attacks. What started out as a voyeuristic peek at the inner workings of a Hollywood studio has turned into a far more serious international incident. This has left the media questioning their own ethics and culpability for originally publishing portions of Sony's stolen data.
With Sony's dilemma getting so much attention, the announcement of this year's Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations seemed rather subdued and tame by comparison. Maybe that's because an awards season front runner has yet to emerge, or possibly because everyone is just tired of award shows.
Thanks to a listener email, we also discuss why the difference between screens and theaters matters when tallying up box office. The two words are often improperly used interchangeably.
Of course, we also cover the week's top entertainment news stories including David Letterman's final show, the latest inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and this year's lack of platinum albums.

GAMING NEWSPolish Newsletter Teases PS3 Super Slim, Possible TGS RevealPosted on Monday, September 17 @ 07:58:57 PST by Alex_Osborn
Sony's third hardware revision for the PlayStation 3, while still unconfirmed, is hardly a secret at this point. It stands to reason that Sony held off on announcing it at gamescom in an effort to clear out as much of the current PS3 stock as they could before consumers spring for an even newer model. According to a Polish newsletter for an electronics retailer called Media Expert, the Super Slim PS3 will be announced very soon... like Tokyo Game Show soon. For those that don't keep up with this sort of thing - shame on you! - TGS kicks off in just a couple of days, with Sony's conference set to take place on the 26th. Interestingly enough, the Polish advertisement lists a September 28th release date, so this bad boy may be on store shelves sooner than you thought. Are you interested in picking up an even slimmer version of Sony's console, or are you content with the model you have? Those of you still without a PS3, would a $199 price tag be enough to lure you in? Let us know in the comments below. [Source/Via]

Brown (1-0), who retired the first 12 batters he faced, allowed a run on two hits and a walk while fanning nine in his longest outing of the year. He threw six innings in an Aug. 16 relief appearance and five frames in an Aug. 21 start.
The Phillies staked Brown to an early lead. Matthew Payton led off the bottom of the first with a single off Rays starter Pedro Silvestre (0-1). With one out, Payton stole second and went to third on a throwing error by catcher Lucas Bailey. Designated hitter Patrick Murray brought Payton home with a ground out.
The Phillies added a pair of runs in the second, thanks to shoddy defense by the Rays. Maikel Franco walked to open the frame. Francisco Diaz then hit a ground ball to first baseman Ryan McCrann, who threw wildly while trying to force Franco at second. Nerio Rios then laid down a sacrifice bunt that Silvestre errantly tossed to first, allowing Franco to score and Diaz to advance to third. Two batters later, Brian Gump doubled down the left-field line to score Diaz for a 2-0 lead.
After Brown caught Ryan Brett looking to end the top of the fourth and set down his 12th straight batter, the Phillies padded their lead. Diaz opened the bottom half with a single and moved to second on a wild pitch. Rios then tripled into the right-field corner to score Diaz, making it 4-0 and ending Silvestre's day.
The Rays finally got their first base runner in the fifth when Tanner Biagini blooped a flare into shallow left-center, just out of the reach of shortstop Rios. Brown retired the next three men in order, then set the Rays down 1-2-3 in the next two innings.
The Phillies plated three insurance runs in the sixth, highlighted by Gump's two-run single. They tacked on another two in the seventh on RBIs from Payton and Gump.
The Rays got on the board in the eighth. Deshun Dixon drew a one-out walk, then scored on a double by Joel Caminero. They added three more in the ninth, but it was too little, too late.
Gump and first baseman Christopher Duffy led the Phillies' 14-hit attack with three apiece. Payton, Rios, Diaz and Geancarlo Mendez all had two hits.
Silvestre allowed five hits and four runs -- two earned -- in three innings for the loss.

The monthly Microsoft webcast discusses challenges, tips and tactics for securing mobile devices.
REDMOND, Wash. , Jan. 18, 2005 - PDAs, smartphones, laptops, tablet PCs - more and more, mobile devices are a part of the IT mixture for companies of all sizes as they look for ways to keep mobile professionals connected to their information while on the go. Yet many companies do not have policies or technologies in place to effectively address the specific needs, uses and risks posed by mobile technology.
As the use of mobile devices and technologies expands, and as more companies allow business-critical information to be transmitted by and stored on them, will these powerful mini-computers become the next target for hackers and viruses? What steps can companies and their mobile work forces take today to incorporate devices into their organization and ensure they are an integral part of its ability to compete?
These questions and more were addressed and dissected at this month's Microsoft Security360 roundtable discussion, hosted via webcast by Microsoft's Mike Nash, corporate vice president of the Security Technology Unit, and Amy Roberts, director of product management for the Security Technology Unit.
As with every month's Security360, Nash and Roberts come together with industry experts to examine real-world security concerns and educate viewers about strategies and technologies that can help protect an organization's security infrastructure. Every Security360 webcast features a checklist of recommendations and resources, a roundtable discussion with Roberts, in-studio interviews by Nash, as well as a live question-and-answer session with Nash and guests.
Guests for January's show included Scott Shell, development lead for Microsoft's Mobile Devices Product Group; David Shier, Microsoft MVP and wireless tech editor for Pocket PC-Smartphone Magazine; David Friedlander, a senior analyst with Forrester Research; Tommy Morris, director of mobile computing for the United States Army Medical Research and Material Command, Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center; Tomas Vetrovsky, GPM of Global Client Hardware for Microsoft Corp.; Mike Grady, Messaging Services Portfolio Manager for Hewlett-Packard Co.; and John Bowden, CIO of Lifetime Products.
Challenge One: Keeping Up with a Company's Mobile Devices
According to the panelists, one of the key challenges facing businesses today is that policy doesn't always align with reality when it comes to mobile devices. This could be due to the rapidly evolving nature of the technology, which companies may not fully understand, or even the fact that smartphones and PDAs can enter the company's technology mix unbeknownst to IT staffers.
"If the device came in as a Christmas present, for example, and the person is using it to synchronize their e-mail or their contacts, the organization may not even be aware of that," Friedlander said. "They don't tend to go out and talk to the users to find out what they're actually doing."
The goal, according to the panelists, is to ensure that the organization's policies around mobile devices, and the ways that employees actually use the devices, tightly align with the overall policies that govern the business as a whole.
"Policy mandates alone are not enough to keep the total cost of ownership down on these devices," said Bowden. "IT needs to listen to the business, and that means that the business direction and IT strategy are aligned, and that when you're deploying and securing mobile devices, the company is really looking at the cost benefit analysis and making sure that the benefits of securing and deploying those devices are worth it."
Mobile devices can catch organizations by surprise in other ways too, according to Morris. Another element to the mobile device picture that creates vulnerability for companies is the fact that the technology has evolved to the point where it is much more capable, and IT departments may have some catching up to do.
"It used to be looked at that PDAs were just address books, so companies really didn't take notice of how they were being used," he said. "But now with Windows Mobile-based devices we're actually developing thin clients where they're using this as part of the business. In our case it's taking care of soldiers' health care. For us, it's extremely important to not only capture that information but to make sure it is secure - not only on the device but also in transit."
Getting Ahead of the Mobile Curve
So what are some ways that companies can get ahead of the curve? According to experts at this month's Security360, it may start with the IT department conducting an audit of what users are actually doing with their devices, and then finding ways to integrate mobile security policy in with the larger IT security picture.
"We can't think of desktops as one silo and then PDAs and phones as another," Friedlander said. "They have to be managed in context, ideally with one technology. But if that's not possible, then with one consistent policy around how people deal with that. And of course that has to take into account what users are actually doing with the devices."
All of the panelists agree that a big part of the solution lies in education, whether that's a wireless carrier informing a customer of the security measures they can enable, or a company simply reaching out and informing users of security policies and technologies, and making those steps easily accessible and understandable.
"It starts with the three pillars: technology, policy and awareness," said Grady. "There's an awareness component in the user base that's essential."
The Human Factor
Even with a well-educated user base, however, mistakes are going to happen. According to Morris, the IT department should also take steps to cover the inevitable case of human error.
"We were proactive in looking at security applications, embedding them in devices, training the people on the importance of doing this, but also putting in place policies so if they decide they don't want to use the security, it still exists," he said. "So if a person loses the device, or if someone logs in inappropriately more than a certain number of times, it will erase the information that's local."
And according to Vetrovsky, whose group manages the global client hardware standards for Microsoft, user behavior is an important factor even after a mistake has been made.
"If you lose your mobile device you should treat it the same way as if you lost your credit card," he said. "Inform the mobile operator, inform the corporate security department, and make sure all of the services are disabled. So again it's up to creating the right centralized policies, and educating users about what are the right things to do when mobile devices get lost."
Technology to Secure the Mobile Perimeter
In terms of technology, there are many things that organizations can look at to secure their mobile network perimeters. Vetrovsky went on to discuss Microsoft Mobile 5.0 and the related Messaging and Security Feature Pack (MSFP), which includes several helpful features such as the "remote wipe" capability that allows administrators to erase a portable device's contents over the airwaves.
"There is also a policy that allows the administrator to set a number of passwords locally on the device, so every time the device is switched on or left for more than a certain period of time, it requires a password," Vetrovsky said.
HP's Grady also pointed out the helpful ability of MSFP to keep older devices in the loop as new security policies are implemented.
"From a deployment perspective, one the features that I like with MSFP is the ability to accommodate legacy devices," he said. "So as we begin to roll this into our large enterprises, we don't have to do a quantum leap in the mobile infrastructure. We can phase it in over time."
Along with the security technologies currently available from Microsoft, there are others on the market that may help an organization secure its mobile work force, as long as IT departments are methodical in their implementation. Grady discussed the approach he employs in his work consulting for clients.
"A lot of industry research first, and then some experimentation, and it's also important to experiment on the collateral effects. A lot of the things we put in place around security have impacts on the Exchange system or the firewall or other gateway components in the infrastructure," he said. "You don't want to put in a tool that's going to become a bottleneck and choke your throughput. So we do a lot of up front testing, evaluating and experimenting, and then move forward with the solution of choice."
Whatever steps an organization may take to cover the technology, policy and awareness pillars of mobile security, all agreed that it's important to start thinking about it now, because while attacks have been limited thus far, more devices and more critical information on those devices means that the mobile user is becoming a more interesting target for hackers and others who would seek to misuse the airwaves.
"We need to be proactive and think about what's coming down the pipe as we deploy mobile devices and develop policies," Friedlander said. "But a lot of firms I've met with are just starting to think about this."

Survival of the Luckiest
In fact, this guy leaves you wanting a little less. He's such an unpleasant personality -- something noted by many amazon reviewers -- that you wish he'd just get to the point and leave out the personal details. He comes across as pompous, self-important, juvenile, and probably clinically narcissistic. But his worst offense is that he violates Godwin's Law throughout the book: that those who aren't funny shouldn't try to be. He's aggressively and repetitively unfunny.
As to the theory itself -- well, it's not so much a theory as an observation: that we are constantly surprised by events because of limitations of our knowledge. The title of the book comes from the idea that it takes the sighting of only a single black swan to disprove the theory that all swans are white, regardless of the millions of white swans that have been observed.
And this speaks to the problem of induction, which we use to guide our lives. We're always generalizing from what happened, and what happens is what usually happens. Thus, we're always surprised by what doesn't usually happen.
Hmm. When you put it that way, it sounds pretty banal, doesn't it? A number of reviewers said that the book could have been condensed into a magazine article, and perhaps they're right.
But as is often the case, I found that I can use a lot of his ideas for my own purposes, in a more encompassing theory of which the author would no doubt disapprove. Again, he gives no indication of being a believer, and indeed, in my experience, most believers would have difficulty accepting his thesis of randomness.
But I would turn this around and say that if not for randomness, evolution, progress, free will, and ultimately spiritual growth would be quite impossible. In other words, if we were wholly constrained by physical law in a deterministic manner, there would be no possibility of the emergence of true novelty. In my view, randomness and uncertainty are where the final causation -- or destiny -- gets in. We do not create our destiny. Rather, it draws us toward it, ultimately into the Great Attractor.
For Taleb, a Black Swan is defined by three properties: rarity, high impact, and retrospective predictability. He uses the example of World War I, and "how little of your understanding of the world on the eve of the events of 1914 would have helped you guess what was to happen next."
Or, one might cite the collapse of the Soviet Union, or the British Invasion of 1964, or the rise of self-publishing from one's home computer. No one saw these things coming. They are only explained in hindsight. But even then, the explanations tend to be arbitrary or ideological, with this or that scholar "connecting the dots" in a way that comports with their own world view.
But again, thank God for the possibility of Black Swans, for as Taleb points out, "Literally, just about everything of significance around you might qualify." Indeed, all you have to do is examine your own life for the chance encounters that "changed everything."
But this also applies to science, which is hardly the linear and continuous enterprise it's made out to be. To the contrary, more often than not, the researcher "discovers" something he wasn't even looking for, anything from penicillin to the background radiation that proves the big bang.
This was something discussed by Michael Polanyi, one of our foundational Raccoon thinkers. He observed that science could never be controlled from the top down, but could only emerge from the bottom up, as a spontaneous order. He noticed that leftist governments didn't allow the freedom and spontaneity for true science to emerge.
The left wing abuse of science continues today with everything from "climate change" to "green energy" to their self-defeating economic theories. Most recently, we saw a judge in California using left-wing activists pseudo-science to prove that gender is irrelevant to marriage.
Taleb affirms a principle with which the psychoanalyst would certainly agree, that "what you don't know" is "more relevant than what you do know."
First of all, what we know is just a tiny fraction of what there is to know. But more problematically, so much of what we know just isn't so, which is why Taleb makes the wise crack that reading the New York Times actually decreases one's knowledge of the world. As he points out, what we know can become inconsequential just by virtue of knowing it, especially if competitors and enemies know you know it.
For example, consider those con-men on TV who sell their secret to getting rich. The secret only works because it is one, not because of its intrinsic merits. In a way, this is what caused the recent real estate bubble. Once everyone takes advantage of the "secret" that houses are appreciating, the bubble collapses. The whole thing was generated by people not seeing the illusion at the basis of it.
Since Black Swans are inevitable, how do we take advantage of them? For me, this was the most interesting part, because my whole life has been just one Black Swan after another. Why? Because I've never had a plan. I never know what I'm going to do today, let alone tomorrow, which permits randomness to enter one's life. For some reason, I've always been this way. But if I had consciously set out to invent my life, I'm quite sure I would have blown it. You might say that the Higher Power takes advantage of chaos.
Taleb says that "you can set yourself up to collect serendipitous Black Swans (of the positive kind) by maximizing your exposure to them.... [C]ontrary to social-science wisdom, almost no discovery, no technologies of note, came from design and planning -- they were just Black Swans."
This leads to the important corollary that one of the reasons the free market is so superior to its alternatives is not that it rewards merit, but that it rewards luck. Only in hindsight do we invent stories of how the successful deserved their success, but more often than not, it's just a matter of luck.
While this might seem unfair -- which it is, but that's life -- the left's misguided attempt to force the system to have outcomes it considers "fair" drains it of the very luck that facilitates so much success and prosperity for all. The reason why the United States is the wealthiest nation is because it is the freest. The more government, the less luck, and with it, the less prosperity.
To be continued....

Kim Kardashian gave birth Saturday to the daughter she had been expecting with recording artist Kanye West, according to multiple reports on various news Web sites.
The news was later confirmed on Saturday by an official announcement from E! Entertainment Television, home of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and the other Kardashian family reality shows.
[xfinity-record-button id="7967342778484123112″ program_type="series"]
The reports, including this story on TMZ.com, say Kim, 32, gave birth around midday Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. She and West (and most of the rest of the world) knew in advance the baby was a girl. The baby girl, who is not yet named, is the first child for both her mother and her father.
The TMZ report and others, such as this story on the New York Post Web site, say Kanye, 36, was at her side when she gave birth.
According to the stories, the E! reality star went into labor Saturday morning and was rushed to the hospital. The labor apparently came on by surprise since the baby was not expected for about another month.
West reportedly left a "listening party" for his new CD "Yeezus" to join Kim at the hospital. The Post story said mother and child are in good health.
Even in the absence of an official confirmation earlier on Saturday, the word spread anyway. Among the details out late in the afternoon: The baby was delivered via Caesarian section, People magazine reported here, citing an unnamed source.

Mom to Mom
I was planning on going to get my nails done today, I budgeted it in and made an appointment. I changed my mind, I want new dress shoes instead. So I cancelled my appointment and now. Now one of the twins has a fever. It's 5pm here, I'm running out of time to go to the mall and can't go tomorrow, besides the shoes I'm looking for are for church tomorrow. I know my husband can take care if him, but I am just not the kind of mom to go shopping for shoes when my son is coughing and running a fever at home. I'm kicking myself in frustration lol. *sigh* I just wanted a girly break. I'm married and have three boys. -_-

2009 kawasaki versys $3500
09 verys 650, green color, 4600 miles, runs and rides perfect
this is a tall seat sport standard bike, parallel twin with a great low to mid powerband. it won all kinds of awards it's first couple years for plain old fun-to-ride. scratches on the left side plastic from a low speed flop. left side fork seal is starting to weep I bought it new and rode it to work a bunch, now it just sits in the garage. I've put maybe 50 miles on it two years since I moved back to Michigan. The price reflects the problems it has, it really needs nothing this year, eventually the fork leak will affect the front suspension obviously. I don't want it to sit in my garage again this winter located in the Port Huron area |

A Diagnosis Wrinkle
Parents need to understand that the diagnostic process can be further complicated during the treatment phase. It was for 10-year-old Robert.
He was diagnosed with ADHD and was put on a stimulant. Two days later, his mother called, saying that her son had become anxious. He would not sleep alone, and he would call his mother from school to make sure she was OK. I took him off the medication, and his anxiety disappeared.
While some children with ADHD may also have an anxiety disorder or another comorbid condition, sometimes the disorder is so minimal that there are no symptoms. We call this subclinical. Taking a stimulant, however, may exacerbate a low-level condition. When this happens, it is important to deal with the anxiety disorder first. Once that is treated, it is generally safe to reintroduce the stimulant without causing a flare-up of anxiety.

Brown hints at Robins stay
Scott Brown insists he will not leave Cheltenham waiting too long for a decision on their contract offer.
Last Updated: 22/05/10 9:21pm
Goalkeeper Scott Brown insists he will not leave Cheltenham Town waiting too long for a decision on their contract offer.
Brown has been offered terms to stay at Whaddon Road next season, but is also reportedly wanted by Blue Square Premier side Wrexham.
After making 44 appearances for the Robins during the past campaign, the 25-year-old has hinted that he is prepared to stay at Cheltenham.
He admits he is 'lucky' to have an offer to consider and will not allow the uncertainty surrounding his future to drag on for too long.
"A couple of months ago I might have been happy to go and sit on the bench somewhere else, but after talking to a couple of people I have decided I want to be playing, whatever level it is at," Brown told the Gloucestershire Echo.
"I was proud to be ever-present last season and I want to be doing that again.
"There are a lot of players out of football, but I am lucky enough to have an offer here and I am very grateful for that.
"The gaffer has put figures to me and he won't hang around forever so I need to make a decision."
