Making security VISIBLE for everybody.
The labeling system is composed by 4 badges:
* Security badge (S). Security starts with SECURE CODING, and secure maintenance. This badge is for Software developed with a secure life cycle, following recommended security coding practices(OWASP TOP TEN, OWASP security principles...) and recommended security tools(Zed Attack Proxy, SAINT, DEpendency check...)
* Privacy badge (P). Security is also about TRUST. Technical security is not relevant if Software comes with hidden non-authorized backdoors, or surveillance code by default. This Privacy badge is for Software free of non-authorized spyware, and web applications following ethical principles of data protection.
* Ingredients badge (I). Security is also about TRANSPARENCY. This condition is possible through the use of Open Source Software. Contemporary Software is built(and linked) by many components such as shared libraries, third party code, APIS, and so on. This badge consists on Software exposing their components and third party code.
* Openness badge (O). Security might also be OPEN. Open security means having a fast and reliable IT security team. This openness badge consists on exposing the Software or Web Application last vulnerability reports to the public.
The System provides 4 logos and 4 clauses(1 for each badge).
STEP 1: Get Registered in the OWASP Security Labeling system Site.
STEP 2: Download the badge-logo(s) and paste it into your website or distributed medium.
STEP 3: Incorporate the correspondent badge-clause(s) into your contract, license,terms of service,or privacy policy(if any).
- Between DEVELOPER and the OWASP SECURITY LABELING PROJECT. By including the badge-logo, the Developer gets the compromise of following the OWASP labeling requirements.
- Between DEVELOPER and USERS. By incorporating the badge-Clauses, the Developer assumes a direct compromise with their software users. This compromise has a legal value as it is incorporated into the contract.
- Between OWASP SECURITY LABELING PROJECT and USERS. Users can report violations of the labeling system to the OWASP labeling project Volunteers.
After joining the OWASP community in my local chapter, I got the idea of a security labeling system. When I contacted Jeff Williams I found out that he already proposed a very similar idea few years ago. We think we can revive it. The OWASP international community has the purpose of making security visible, and opinions from different sides are crucial in order to create a practical and widely used labeling system.

Why creating a security labeling system is important?
Making security more visible. Is a transnational and market wise solution. Visual, and easy to apply. Different labeling categories for different purposes.
Which security labels can I add to my Software?
Security label(S). Privacy label(P). Ingredients label(I). Openness label(O).
What is the Security label(S) about?
It certifies that certain software follows a secure life cycle, recommended scan policies, secure coding practices, quick vulnerabilities patches, and is programmed and maintained by developers with a software security orientation.
Why is the Security label(S) relevant? Many software projects are already using OWASP guides and tools. A lot of them require developers to follow the OWASP secure coding principles. This label will make these security practices visible for users.
What is the Privacy label(P) about?
This label certifies that your software does not come with non-authorized spyware, and that your personal data will be respected.
Why is the Privacy label relevant? Developers assume the legal compromise of not including hidden backdoors and surveillance code. The user would also have the obligation of checking the software hashsums.
What is the Ingredients label(I) about?
Is about exposing all the components of your software, such as API's, shared libraries, third party software.
Why is the Ingredients label(I) relevant? Because it will help developers and users to identify properly third party code, evaluate the risks of using it, avoid non intentional license compatibility controversies, and so forth.
What is the Openness label(O) about?
It is dedicated to high security environments. Web Applications will expose their vulnerabilities of the last vulnerability scan the public. They will have the time to patch them until the next vulnerabilities scan. The scans should be fixed in a regular basis(e.g. each week).
Why is the Openness label(O) relevant? Getting this label means that a security team reveals their vulnerabilities to the public as expected. but at the same time, it shows to the public how good and fast they are in order to fix them.
The OWASP Security Labeling System is developed by a worldwide team of volunteers. The primary contributors to date have been:
- Luis Enriquez (IT Lawyer)
- Jeff Williams (Security Expert)
- Jorge Lara (Graphical Dessigner)
The priorities of the OWASP Security Labeling System are:
(1)Create and Distribute opinion polls to different sides involved in the IT environment(such as software developers, e-commerce agents, IT security firms, Cyber communities, Internet rights NGOs, lawyers, and of course, users). This stage has already begun, and results are helping us to shape the model.
(2)Create the most suitable methodology for the security labeling system. At this point seems that the best methodology is to create a clause(or declaration) for each badge type, which will have to be included in IT contracts, licenses(additional terms for public licenses), terms of service, or privacy policies. The Developer has the compromise of providing the OWASP labeling system conditions.
(3)Application of the labeling system. The OWASP labeling system volunteers will contribute to check that the system is working properly. The label can always be removed.
Involvement in the development and promotion of the OWASP Security Labeling System is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security or legal expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help:
- Distribute the opinion polls.
- Improve the system.
- Translate the 'clauses' to other languages in a legal way.
- Improve this wiki.
What does this OWASP project offer you?
What releases are available for this project?

WASHINGTON (WNS) - Israel's' Foreign Minister Yigal Allon, emerged from a 55-minule meeting with President Ford ih the White- House to announce that "a new decision" on "important items" in weapons tor Israel has been made by the .UjS. According to reporters, Allon chatting with the President in the Oval Office, was overheard - expressing- .his thanks for Ford's "new decision""- on weapons' and that Ford said it was "ob¬ viously the right thing to do." But media reports on the lands of new military equipment were knocked down-by a U.S. official as "speculative" and by an Israeli source as "incor¬ rect." The challenged re¬ ports said Israel would_get laser-guided bombs, armed helicopter gunships with pre¬ viously-withheld anti-tank missiles, night fighting wea¬ pons, radar equipment and a speedup of delivery of M-CO heavy tanks, , self-propelled artillery, armed personnel carriers and new' types of ■guided anti-tank missiles and bombs. The Israeli source said some ot the items were: de¬ livered a year ago. Just what Israel wilj get, will not be made officially known lor al, least three months, because the list- must first' be sub¬ mitted lor approval by Con¬ gress which must approve any single sale ot more than ' $25 million. The 94th Con¬ gress will not ,meet again -and the 95th" Congress does not convene until January. The White, House said Israel definitely will not get any Pershing missiles, which can carry nuclear warheads. When reporters asked Allon whether the arms talks had anything to do with the "Presidential election cam¬ paign," he replied negotia¬ tions had been going on for years," months before elec¬ tions and months after elec¬ tions" in a "continuing pro¬ cess." White House press secretary Ron Nessen said at a press briefing that there had been no increase in the U.S. commitment of $1 billion in military credit for Israel for fiscal 1977, which ., ,beganonOct. l.He.aiso.sfiid .

A Spy Theme that evokes that specific tension which everybody knows from spy films. Starting with a very quiet and softly descending Fender Rhodes melody. Adding brass, drums, bass, woodwinds, strings and a jazzy guitar, it quickly turns into a dramatic, energetic theme that can be used in all kind of projects that need the feel of a sneaking 'round secret agent, saving the world from mad scientists in the name of queen and country.
Included files are:
1. Main Track (same as preview – 2:39)
2. Long Version (with some parts repeating – 3:45)
I would very much appreciate if you'd rate and/or comment this track. Please drop me a line, if any specific changes for your projects are needed (looped parts, different build-up, length etc.), i will do my best to provide.

text: Just testing out that the camera works. I didn't really set up for these just went shooting. Especially the dusk shots, which due to my shooting fast and not using a tripod I went to ISO 1250. The camera seems to my eyes at least to be about 1 stop better than the D3 it replaces (note I didn't go to the D3s).

And What I Think About It...
I got on the scales this morning to see what my weight was after several days of dieting. To my surprise the display announced, "Low".
If only it were true that my weight is low! It's the battery that's low, of course. The poor thing simply couldn't endure any more.
I've been doing a modified version of the South Beach diet. Lean protein and tomato juice for breakfast. Fat-free yoghurt for lunch. Large salad for supper.
No sweets at all.
On the bright side, I have lost a few pounds.
I have to lose at least five more pounds, preferably more, before going to the doctor in a few weeks or he will chew me out! Unfortunately, I'm still carrying around the excesses of the Thanksgiving-Christmas holidays.

Industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology is the scientific
study of the workplace. Rigor and methods of psychology are
applied to issues of critical relevance to business,
including talent management, coaching, assessment,
selection, training, organizational development,
performance, and work-life balance.
Master Tutorial. The primary purpose of the master tutorial is to provide current information and to educate the audience about a topic. As examples, tutorials might be developed to provide an update on a specified content area, discuss a new statistical technique, or describe how knowledge from another discipline can be applied to a problem or topic. Topics that are not appropriate include descriptions of products that the presenter is marketing. Proposals for tutorials should describe the specific content to be taught in the tutorial and indicate whether the coverage of the material will be basic or advanced. If appropriate and meeting APA requirements, as a service to our members, continuing education credit (CE credit) will be assigned to these sessions. For this reason, all Master Tutorials must be at least 80 minutes long. Additionally, to facilitate this process, all submissions for master tutorials must include 3-4 learning objectives (e.g., "Participants will be able to identify the various antecedents and consequences of counterproductive work behavior) and curricula vitae for all presenters.

By Leigh Jones at World on Campus
This month, Illinois State University (ISU) joined several other public universities facing criticism, and possible legal challenges, over their restrictive speech codes. The school's code requires students to conform to the school's beliefs about civility, diversity and individual and social responsibility, according to a report on CampusReform.org. Students who don't conform can get with the program or leave, the code says: "When individual behavior conflicts with the values of the University, the individual must choose whether to adapt his or her behavior to meet the needs of the community or to leave the University."
Free speech advocates Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) highlighted ISU's code as it's offender of the month. Despite court rulings upholding free speech rights on campus, many public schools try to restrict when and where students can protest and what kind of literature they can distribute. Some of the codes target religious or political speech, while allowing other kinds of gatherings all over campus. FIRE and the legal coalition Alliance Defending Freedom have separate campaigns targeting codes that violate free speech rights on campus. In almost every case, schools have changed codes in response to requests, and threats of legal action, from the groups.
Not so fast: A federal judge in Pittsburg has denied the ACLU the right to join the government in defending a challenge to the birth control coverage mandate included in the 2010 healthcare reform package. The civil rights group tried to muscle in on the case filed by Geneva College, in Beaver Falls, Pa. Geneva is one of 14 Christian colleges suing the government over the mandate, which requires them to include coverage for birth control and abortifacient drugs under health insurance policies offered to staff and students. U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti told The Pittsburgh Tribune—Review she did not want to allow other parties to join the case at such an early date. But that does not mean the group won't get to tag along to the courtroom eventually. In all cases challenging the contraceptive mandate, the government has filed motions to dismiss. The government's lawyers argue the schools don't have standing to sue because they don't have to comply with the mandate until next year. A federal judge in Washington D.C. already dismissed two suits brought by Belmont Abbey College, of North Carolina, and Wheaton College, of Illinois.
College debt rising: According to a new analysis by the Pew Research Center, one in five households——19 percent of the U.S. population——had some form of student loan debt in 2010. American families carried only half as much debt in 1989. And a large slice of the increase in debt has taken place just in the last few years. Since 2007, the student debt load has increased 15 percent. Higher tuition costs and increased enrollment are driving the debt rates. And the financial burden hit poorer households, those making less than $21,044 per year, hardest. Overall, 40 percent of U.S. households headed by someone younger than 35 are paying off student loans, the highest share of any age group.
A distraction?: And in lighter news, The Los Angeles Times reported this week that University of California at Irvine students set the Guinness world record for the most people playing dodgeball at one time. The game included 6,084 players. Hopefully that took their mind off all the student loan debt they're racking up.

The photos you posted are probably the original camera images, at 3264 x 2448 pixels and over 3 MB file sizes. No one with dialup internet is likely to ever read this page. You can go beyond what Imageshack can do, and really trim the file sizes. Note the following thumbnails, with the second two having been edited for jpg compression in my own computer. You can still see the brand name on the tool handle. If you include images with emails, you really want to be able to pare down image file sizes, especially if any dialup users are on your mailing list.Sorry for the big pictures. I thought I scaled them to 1024x768 on imageshack, I didn't realize the width of this forum's text was forced to basically 640 or so ...

June 8, 2012by Carolyn SzczepanskiLast week, we bid farewell to National Bike Month 2012 — a full 31 days of events and energy encouraging cycling in communities from coast to coast. Lucky for us, the end of May wasn't the final curtain on this united, nationwide effort to get more people riding.
June 7, 2012by Carolyn SzczepanskiEven if you're not from Mississippi or Maryland, you may know the names Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Thad Cochran (R-MS). The two U.S. Senators were instrumental in hammering out a bipartisan compromise that is the best hope for continued bicycle and pedestrian funding in the next federal transportation bill.

Just introducing myself. I'm an IT Project Manager (programmers are gonna love me straight away now I admitted that ) with all my experience gained in the finance industry.
My main areas of interest are securing transmissions, encryption and vulnerability testing. I joined to share information and to learn something new. Security is an issue I still don't feel is taken seriously in my working life ("It hasn't happened yet" mentality from executives).
On a personal level I'm obssessive about my own systems security and my personal privacy. I'll admit I'm a bit of a zealot when it comes to trying to persuade people that they need to think when they are using the internet...even today I has to secure a friends PC as it was "Not running right". Windows XP 1meg broadband connection always on and no firewall or antivirus = 1500+ virus/trojans including IRC bots...a joy for DDOS fiends (not anymore though)

The Farm-City program brings the city and the country together by fostering relationships between rural farmers and urban workers. This year, the week before Thanksgiving has been designated as Farm-City Week. This years theme is "Agriculture: Food for Life", and captures the essence of farming.
No other industry or activity is more connected to "life" than agriculture. Farmers produce the grains, protein, fruit, vegetables, nuts and dairy products that sustain life.
The Calhoun County Farmer's Federation Women's Leadership Committee hosted their annual banquet on Tuesday, November 14th, at the Farmers Federation Building in Jacksonville. Guest speaker was Jeff Helms, Director of Public Relations and Communications for Alabama Farmers Federation and ALFA Insurance. 4-H Students who participated in the Farm-City Poster and Essay Contests were recognized.
The Anniston Kiwanis Club invited area farmers, educators, and other community leaders to join them at their meeting on Thursday, November 16th, at the Anniston Country Club. Guest speaker was Wayne Greene, Ph.D., PAS, Diplomate ACAS Professor and Head, Department of Animal Sciences Auburn University. The students' winning posters and essays were on display.

I always liked Luis Castillo in the two hole because of his ability to bunt, hit behind Jose Reyes and work the count.
However, with the way Angel Pagan has taken to that position in the order, and how the Mets have played with him there, when Castillo comes back from the disabled list I'd rather have him hit eight and keep Pagan second.
Last night, Pagan broke open a close game with a two run double, something he's done a lot of lately with an average of well over .300 with RISP.
Reyes and David Wright are hitting now, but unquestionably the Mets' most consistent hitter this season has been Pagan.
He'll bat second again today in a pitcher's duel between Mike Pelfrey and Phil Hughes, both of whom are 9-1.
Here's today's lineup:
Jose Reyes, SS
Angel Pagan, CF
David Wright, 3B
Ike Davis, 1B
Jason Bay, LF
Chris Carter, DH
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Alex Cora, 2B
Henry Blanco, C
Mike Pelfrey, RP

Mara Hoffman made a big splash at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami with her 2014 collection of cool pastel and neon tribal suits, vibrant fruit-printed cover ups and Hindu god Ganesha-influenced dresses and one-pieces that made this line pop with a global glamour. Fashionistas were literally climbing over each other in the fashion show entrance line attempting to get into her packed event. Hoffman and her tribal prints were a key part of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Swim in Miami. A Mercedes E-Class convertible was covered in one of her one-of-a-kind prints and she also created a limited-edition tunic that's being sold at Alchemist boutique on Lincoln Road in Miami Beach.
The $50 one-size-fits-all tunic comes in a cool backpack and it's meant to be worn as a cover-up or a top. The funky pattern and cool blue and pink hues on this piece scream South Beach and make it a must-have style staple for all South Florida women who can leap from the boardroom to the boardwalk in a flash. As the lazy days of summer come to an end and the balmy breezes of the South Florida landscape blow on, this is the last piece of clothing you need before Labor Day.

Hi all,
It's been some time since I posted a comment in the NDERF Forum, but I have come back a few times to read the many interesting things that you have been talking about. I've been busy writing an autobiography about my life, and the many spiritual experiences I have had. If you're interested in reading my book, "Mother In Heaven" you can buy it here as a Kindle book in Amazon.
Thank you, and many blessings to you all.

Who do you support for U.S. House in Nebraska (District 3) in 2010?
Posted in the Magnet Forum
1 - 20 of 108 Comments Last updated Jun 26, 2018
#1 Oct 19, 2010
What has Adrian done to help Nebraskans in these poor times?
#2 Oct 19, 2010
He voted against obamacare and stimulus crap that added trillions to the federal debt!
He'll get my vote!
#3 Oct 19, 2010
I'll go on record and say Smith has my vote again!
I don' think Davis has any experience that would dictate she could handle the job...she's to far removed from agricultural topics, has no idea about the importance of the different programs available and I think quite a bit of what she says about the environment and gun control is all hype.
She doesn't know the issues, so how could she react for our benefit?
Her campaign pictures that clearly shows her support of Obama really turn me off. I don't think Obama is worthy of the office and his programs basically suck! He blames everyone else for the financial situation and never owns up to his mistakes.
If Davis supports him like her campaign pictures show she does, why would I vote for her?
I also don't believe she is pro-gun or has any concept about the issues of private gun owner ship.
Smith has been in there fighting for natural resources and proves he has the guts and determination to do the job. His experience dictates he has the knowledge to continue doing what is right for the people of Nebraska. More importantly he understands the importance of agriculture in this region.
Among the three candidates he stands out as someone with the interest of this state and area in mind.
I don't harbor any ideas of why he doesn't debate Davis, other than he is pretty busy, thinks maybe it would be a waste of time and would consequently out class her in the debate situation.
All I know about is the words in print by the other candidates involved .
I have communicated with Smiths' office on a few occasions and I always get answers. I may not have agreed to all the advice at times, but his responses have always been well thought out.
I think the guy does his job and I know he represents our district well.
I'd rather have someone of experience filling the position than I would someone who doesn't have a clue.
I also feel strongly that he isn't in the position to fulfill his own personal agenda, but, that the interests of this state and this region is uppermost on his mind in trying to be a voice in Washington for our benefit.
#4 Oct 19, 2010
Rebekah Davis has far more experience than Adrian did. He couldn't even get a bill passed in the NE Legislature, now he can't even get it done in Congress. Plus, Rebekah takes NO special interest money, while Adrian gets over half his money from big corporations. Time to throw the bums out and get a fresh crew into Congress, starting with placeholder, do-nothing Smith.
#7 Oct 19, 2010
Smith is a proven tool and a useless, mindless idiot for the GOP.
#8 Oct 20, 2010
Smith has voted the way the people from his district have told him to vote. If you would check around, most of the people from mid to western Nebraska are conservatives. We believe in giving people a hand up, not a hand out. I, along with a lot of other Nebraska folks, work hard for my moeny and don't need someone back east telling me to redistribute my wealth. So, if that makes Smith "a useless midnless idiot for the GOP", then I guess he will get my vote, again, in November.
#9 Oct 20, 2010
She has the qualifications to be a "thinking" candidate & has the interests of all Nebraskans in those thoughts..
#10 Oct 20, 2010
To reiterate, Rebekah has all the qualifications to be a "thinking", productive candidate & those thoughts are in the interest of ALL Nebraskans.
#11 Oct 20, 2010
I'm from Nebraska and in his district, and I see an ineffectual rubber stamp without a single accomplishment to his name. He's taken over $1.5 Million from special interest lobbying groups in just 2 terms, and which represents more than half of his fundraising. Neither party is right all the time, but Smith seems to think only the GOP is right. It's not. He's part of the partisan problem, and more than willing to be a lemming for John Boehner and Eric Cantor. I want someone who can think for themselves and look for the right answer, not giving a darn about party. Rebekah Davis is many of her views is very conservative and very much in tune with 3rd District Nebraskans. She's pro-life, speaks 5 languages (which includes Farsi, and she also has experience actually spending time on dangerous missionary work in the middle east, and knows those cultures - a benefit in the current times). In an article today, the only thing Adrian could say he had really been a leader on was passing only in the House a bill for veterinarians. It hasn't even been taken up in the Senate. He rarely introduces bills, and that one was written an industry that's given him over $60,000 in donations. I want someone who works for NEBRASKA, not someone who, when asked in 2006 his reasons for running while at a fundraiser at Jerry Falwell's Liberty University, said "I want to stay in Congress a good long time...I want to stay their until retirement." Shouldn't he have put NEBRASKA first, and not his own personal interests? At least Rebekah can answer why she's running, and states it very clearly. Hell, even Dan Hill can state it clearly even though he's even more extreme than Adrian!
#12 Oct 20, 2010
well said! I couldn't agree with you more
#13 Oct 21, 2010
No to ObamaCare and overspending
#14 Oct 21, 2010
Anyone who cares about SB fears the meth dealers more than Mid East terrorists. meth dealers are doing far more damage to our city
#15 Oct 29, 2010
Why would I want to vote for someone who had 600 democrats sign his petition and is having Ms Davis campaign for him too. Mr Smith has my vote.
#16 Oct 30, 2010
Tea Party folks neevr say what they would cut in the federal budget. Tea Partiers seem to serve the rich man's agenda..not yours!
#17 Nov 1, 2010
The proctologist called. He found your head.
#18 Nov 1, 2010
Ah yes, the old "extereme" label. Typical addled-minded cliche.
#20 Nov 7, 2010
Tea Parties were easily duped by the rich.
#22 Nov 14, 2010
That doesn't surprise anyone.

Burn ban remains in effect
Various action items regarding the Nolan County Sheriff's Office were presented and approved at the county commissioners' meeting held on Wednesday, December 26, 2012 at the Nolan County Courthouse.Among the items approved was a program which will allow Nolan County Sheriff David Warren to provide firearms proficiency certificates to qualified honorably-retired peace officers who last worked with Nolan County. Outline in Section 1701.357 of the Texas Occupation Code, Sheriff Warren noted the summarized specifications in an excerpt of the code which was presented to the commissioners. The county is required to approve the program, which will also lead to the county being held liable due to state legislation.Currently, two people meet the requirements and are interested in the program. Once an individual qualifies, an identification card would then be given.Also, approval was given toward the purchase of a separate sonic wall (security fire wall) for the Sheriff's Department. Following some internet changes within the sheriff's department and later in the entire courthouse, the hook-up bypassed the security equipment for the sheriff's department, leaving their internet access in a vulnerable state.While an immediate solution was to connect the sheriff's office with the rest of the courthouse, the purchase of a separate firewall is a less costly option. Sheriff Warren noted that the main objective in this purpose is to protect the internet access within the department.Furthermore, the commissioners approved for the declaration of a small list of firearms from the Sheriff's inventory as "surplus county property", which will then be disposed of by trading in on new property of the same general type. The action will be done in accordance with Section 263.152 of the local government code.Approval was also given for a bond for two reserve deputy sheriffs at the amount of $2,000. No action was taken on a bond for the sheriff and employees of the Sheriff's Department, as the item was approved at the previous county meeting.In addition, approval was given for the burn ban in Nolan County to remain in effect until the next appointed meeting. The minutes from the December 10 meeting were approved, and reports were received from the Nolan County Sheriff's Office, along with the Tax and Welfare offices.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A Republican state lawmaker says he wants to freeze tuition at Tennessee's colleges and universities despite criticism from education officials that such a proposal would eliminate funds needed to sustain essential programs and basic operation.
Sen. Jim Summerville of Dickson announced this week that he plans to file legislation during the next session to keep tuition at the current rates for several years.
The Tennessee Board of Regents and the University of Tennessee system recently adopted tuition hikes ranging from 3 to 6 percent.
"The current increases are an outrage, especially in light of this year's increase in appropriations to ... higher education systems," Summerville said in a news release.
Gov. Bill Haslam approved more than $100 million for higher education in his budget this year.
Tennessee Board of Regents Chancellor John Morgan said colleges and universities are grateful for the appropriation, but he said "one year of increased funding doesn't undo the many years' worth of reduced state appropriations that have shifted the funding of public higher education away from the state and onto our students."
He said freezing tuition hikes could adversely affect essential higher education programs, as well as one of Haslam's main education plans.
The governor's "Drive to 55" initiative is intended to increase the number of Tennesseans with at least a two-year college degree or certificate.
Currently, 32 percent of Tennesseans have a two-year degree or higher, and Haslam's goal is to raise that number to 55 percent by 2025.
"Restricting our ability to fund the programs we need would severely limit our efforts to reach Gov. Haslam's Drive to 55 goal to increase the education attainment of more Tennesseans," Morgan said.
UT officials said in a statement that extra money is needed beyond what the state provides to cover fluctuating operational and maintenance costs.
"Just 10 years ago, state funds made up more than 50 percent of the University of Tennessee's budget," according to the statement. "Today, state funds make up about 30 percent of the university's budget. Meanwhile, the university's fixed costs for utilities, equipment, and maintenance, for example, have been ongoing and increasing."
House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh said House Democrats introduced an alternative budget two years ago that would have frozen tuition for the 2012-2013 academic year. That proposal died on a party-line vote.
"I applaud the spirit of Sen. Summerville's bill," said the Ripley Democrat. "We certainly need to do something about tuition, but as I said two years ago, we have to take a balanced approach that makes sure the state is keeping up its end of the bargain and properly funding higher education."

7 mos old juniper has used pacifier since she was 1 month old. we gave her unrestricted use, and now she is ADDICTED. . . she is refusing to nurse. i am a full time stay at home mommy, so we breastfeed exclusively. we don't even own bottles. when i put her to the breast, she sucks maybe a few times, then screams when she realizes it isn't the pacifier. she cries, sobs, throws a tantrum, and loses all control. she looks up at me yelling MA MA MA!!! like i took a boob out of her mouth. i'm afraid she thinks that the pacifier is my breast, and she thinks i am taking it away from her.
the only way to get her to nurse is by rocking her to sleep with the pacifier (tootsie, as we call it), and when she falls asleep, take it out and slip my breast in.
so i have to trick her into nursing.
someone please help me. i know the pacifier was the first mistake, but i have to get her to want to nurse. my goal is to nurse through at least a year old, but i'm loosing my cool here.
i have started to wean her from the tootsie by not giving it to her during the daytime, only for naps and bed.. but today is the first day of this trial.
ugh. i'm beyond myself.

Several years ago, James May of Top Gear attempted to re-record the opening theme of the show using only the sounds produced by car engines. The result was an absolute failure. Sounding less like music and more like the howlings of a broken Casio, May's opus was laughable.
Maserati wasn't deterred by the Top Gear musical mistake. Inspired by the seven notes Maserati engineers proudly boast that their engines produce, Maserati teamed up with high-end British audio company, Bowers & Wilkins, and recruited renowned music producer Howie B (best known for his work with U2 and Björk) to record the sounds of a Maserati engine. Their task; to make something wonderful from it. They aptly titled it "Seven Notes."
After several months of planning and testing, Howie B was finally ready to record. Recorded in several distinctive studios and environments, the engine notes were taken back to infamous Abbey Road Studios and painstakingly mixed with instruments and vocals. The result is atmospheric and haunting and delightfully nothing like the Top Gear audio debacle.
Maserati, Bowers & Wilkins, and Howie B were so pleased with the result of making substantive, beautiful music inspired by the notes of an engine, they've decided to take the experience on a world tour.
If you'd like to listen to and download the "Seven Notes" tracks, watch the music video, and see the video behind the making of the project, visit the Seven Notes webpage.
While we find the music tracks inspired, given the limited vocal range of an internal combustion engine, should we to attend one of the Seven Notes concerts, we'd be going just to hear and see the car. No offense intended to Howie B, of course.

Until a month ago, lawmakers studying Washington's prepaid tuition program were focused on getting rid of a state policy that threated its solvency.
After the leadership of the state Senate appeared to be shifting away from the Democrats and toward a mostly Republican coalition led by Democrat Sen. Rodney Tom, they turned 180 degrees and started talking instead about closing the Guaranteed Education Tuition program, one of the few ways the Legislature helps middle class families send their kids to college.
Tom, who is chair of the legislative GET advisory committee, has been talking about closing the GET program for years. The former chair of the Senate Higher Education Committee, who has said he has his own kids' college money in the program, appears to be using some of his new leadership power to promote that idea to a bigger audience.
Tom told journalists gathered at The Associated Press Legislative Preview last week that it was time for the state to get out of the prepaid tuition business, and this week the advisory committee is expected to distribute its report calling for closing the GET program to all future participants.
When asked Wednesday how popular was the idea of closing the GET program while honoring the promises made to all current investors, Tom said, "Nobody in Olympia likes to shut down a program."
He is haunted, however, by a projected program deficit of about $631 million, which is the estimated shortfall the program would face if every participant - including babies and kindergarten students - decided to go to college this year and use their GET savings to pay their tuition.
"We just don't want to make that hole any bigger," he said.
Tom adds, however, that he has more than just a problem with the deficit. He also worries about the way the GET program controls the legislature's actions when it comes to college tuition.
"The GET is the 800-pound gorilla and the tail is wagging the dog," he said.
Also in the GET advisory committee report is a recommendation that the Legislature change its differential tuition plans to only allow colleges to charge more for tuition for certain programs as long as their higher tuition does not go above the University of Washington's highest rate, Tom said.
GET Director Betty Lochner said Wednesday nothing has changed concerning the solvency of the GET program. The state actuary has said repeatedly that the chance of the GET program running out of money and not being able to meet its obligations to future college students is about 1 percent.
Closing the program or stopping new participants from joining GET will cost the state an estimated $1.67 billion over 11 years after the program runs out of cash in 2025 because no new money would be coming in, Lochner explained. Keeping it open won't cost the state a penny.
"I know there are strong sentiments about long-term liability for the GET program," Lochner acknowledged, but she also worries about what the state will do for the middle class parents who benefit most from the GET program.
Parents and grandparents who use Washington's program to save for college are guaranteed that they will have that money to pay for college when their kids graduate from high school.
"The more expensive tuition gets, the more important this program is," she added. "That's the piece I wish they would talk about."
Sen. Andy Hill, R-Redmond, who chairs the powerful Senate Ways and Means committee, said he supports eliminating the GET program.
"It's a job that our government doesn't need to do," said Hill, noting that similar - though less generous - savings programs are widely available to consumers in the private sector.
Rep. Gary Alexander, R-Olympia, said he opposes the advisory committee's recommendation to eliminate the program.
He said that families relying on GET to save for college would be left with fewer options to do so in its absence.
"It would have to be through basic financial aid or the other traditional funding sources that have been there in the past," he said.
This year's price for one Guaranteed Education Tuition unit is $172, which translates into $17,200 for a year of tuition and state mandated fees at the University of Washington or Washington State University. That doesn't include room and board.
Two years ago, one tuition unit cost $117, which at $11,700 for 100 units would be slightly less than this year's tuition at UW and WSU.
Tuition has nearly doubled at the state's six, four-year colleges and universities over the past five years. While financial aid for students from lower income families has increased, most middle class students are depending on student loans to make up the difference.
Tom said it's unclear exactly who the GET program helps.
"The best way to help the middle class is to have a great system for everyone," he added. To him, that means making it possible for kids to get good paying technology and engineering jobs after earning degrees from Washington universities.

For the first time since New Bern Bears joined the Mideastern Conference, the Bears didn�t win the dual team wrestling championships.
For the first time since New Bern Bears joined the Mideastern Conference, the Bears didn�t win the dual team wrestling championships.
Laney won all five matches, and beat New Bern head-to-head, to end the Bears run of three-straight conference dual team titles.
�It means a ton to the program,� Laney coach Jon Mauney said. �As far as I know, we haven�t done this in about four years. We are getting that opportunity to do it, and we wanted to win it in the present conference before the conference is disseminated.
�It means a ton to these kids. They�ve worked really hard.�
New Bern went 4-1, including a 44-23 loss to Laney.
Laney�s Adan Hardy (113), Cole Plott (138 pounds), Brian Capps (195), Grant Bowman (220) and Larry Williams (285) had pins.
Pa Sanneh (152) had New Bern�s lone pin.
�Laney is a tough team,� New Bern coach Bo Lansche said. �We knew they were going to be tough coming in.
�I told the guys all year that we can�t allow ourselves to get pinned and win big matches. We were within two or three points, then we gave up two more pins.�
New Bern had wins over New Hanover (72-6), Hoggard (55-18), Ashley (69-12) and J.H. Rose (54-14).
Eric Milks (145), DeAndre Jones (182) and Jon Sherman (132) won all five of their matches.
Freshman Dalton Hill gave Laney�s two-time state qualifier Marcel Burns a fight before losing the match 6-5 at 170 pounds.
�We looked great in all of the other matches,� Lansche said. �Dalton Hill, who is a freshman, was wrestling up a weight class, and he wrestled a two-time state qualifier from Laney. He looked really good.
�Eric Milks really stood out today. He wrestled a state qualifier from Laney.�
Laney notched wins over New Bern (44-23), J.H. Rose (65-10), New Hanover (70-9), Hoggard (51-21) and Ashley (63-13).
David Bastian (106), Plott (138), Burns (171), Capps (195) and Bowman (220) were perfect in the tournament.
�It�s mainly the kids and the attitudes they have this year,� Mauney said. �A lot of these kids have been in the program for a while. The kids are making it happen.�
Hoggard and Ashley each went 2-3, Rose won one match and New Hanover went winless.
�You have to take every match one at a time,� Mauney said. �If you overlook Rose or
Hoggard or New Hanover or Ashley, you are going to drop that match. We try to tell our kids that every match they wrestle is the most important one of the season.�
The teams will meet in Wilmington on Feb. 9 for the Mideastern Conference individual championships.
106: David Bastian (L) won by forfeit; 113: Adan Hardy (L) pin Rovis Lariano (NB); 120: Adam Holden (L) dec. Josh Hawkins (NB), 8-4; 126: John Miller (L) dec. Josh Forbis (NB), 9-5; 132: Jon Sherman (NB) won by forfeit; 138: Cole Plott (L) pin Antonio Criego (NB); 145: Eric Milks (NB) dec.

The need for speed
GTK+ 3.0 is now being released. Great news for Gnome 3! On the other hand Nokia partners with Microsoft and the some clouds have been forming over QT. Among these big headlines you might have missed a smaller one. EFL releases 1.0! After almost a decade of development EFL get a stable API. But is this important? Why should you care?
Well if you are developing native applications for your 8-core machine with infinite memory then EFL might not seem something important to you. If however you are into embedded devices (think 8-16 MBs of RAM and simple processors) then EFL might be the best thing since sliced bread. It all comes down to speed. EFL are truly optimized for speed!
Other toolkits have usually feature based development milestones. What widgets do our users need? How are we going to support this device. Speed and performance is an afterthought. Other times the usual answer is that performance will improve with time as more and more devices get hardware accellerated graphics. But EFL is a different beast. Speed and performance improvements are a constant problem. Supporting low-end devices is a bigger success than creating another tree widget for example.
The beauty of this comes from the fact that EFL does NOT need hardware accellerated support! Although it will take advantage of it (if found) it is not a strict requirement. The reason for this is the EFL canvas (named Evas) is a lot smarter that your average QT or GTK+ canvas. Instead of blindly rendering pixels and then forgetting about them, it actually keeps track of what is shown at the screen at any given time. Then it can calculated only the parts that have changed and do not render the rest. For embedded devices this is a huge performance boost. The trick is known for a long time but it is usually found in game engines instead of application toolkits. The programmer is also completely un-aware of this.
This allows essentially for Flash like graphics (by the way flash is based on hardware accelleration as well) and animations on platforms with minimal hardware (even below smart phones). At the same time EFL provides everything you need for animations (e.g. tweening, events, the graphic loop) so the programming layer is easily understandable and usable without requiring specific knowledge on the inner workings of the canvas.
Memory footprint
A welll known rule of software engineering is the memory/ram tradeoff. You can make things faster by using more memory. EFL does not fall into this trap. In the age of gigantic libraries with several dependencies EFL is surprisingly spartan. While other libraries come in several MBs, EFL libraries are measured in kilobytes. This allows for easy installation on barebone embedded systems where QT or GTK+ might have trouble.
Low memory usage also translated into better battery life. More and more consumers demand longer periods of device operation. Cellphones and tablet are the prime example for this need. Smart usage of battery life is something that is not always given high importance in graphical libraries.
Another point to consider is also the modularity of EFL. The list might seem daunting at first sight but if you really think about it is fits perfectly in the lego like dream of software blocks. You take only what you need.
Need just the canvas and nothing else? You got it! You want a toolkit like experience? Add elementary into the mix. No need for dbus? Dump the e_dbus library. Great power is given to you on what goes onto the device. While other graphical libraries are just talking about modularization or trying to present "lite" versions of their core product, EFL is a bucket of components. Do you prefer barebones development instead of the kitchen sink approach? EFL is there for you.
Get the full package
While most other libraries for embedded systems are isolated (I/O libraries OR graphics OR networks) EFL provides you with the full toolset (if that is what you want).
- Data structures (eina)
- Themes and UI (edje)
- Canvas (evas)
- Network, SSL/gnutls, main loop,event handlers, idlers, fd management, timers (ecore)
- Architecture independent serialization (eet)
- Freedesktop standards (efreet)
- widget Toolkit (elementary)
Eye candy
Most toolkits have theme support. However by "theme support" they usually mean different colours on existing components. EFL has built-in support for themes that define the whole of UI and not just colours. With the obviously split from application logic (C code) to themes (Edje files), working with a GUI designer has never been easier. Mockups from graphical tools (e.g Inkspace/gimp/Adobe suite) can be easily converted to impressive applications on the spot.
Enlightenment has a long tradition on eye candy and impressive graphics. With EFL your imagination is not limited by toolkit constraints. Themes can completely change the look of an application to something completely different. Custom UI development for embedded devices is now possible without resorting to expensive solutions or specialized architecture-speficic hacks.
Production ready
The 1.0 version just marks a stable API. It does not reflect the actual maturity of the libraries. Most open-source projects are expected to be alpha-quality in pre-1.0 version. EFL however is being used in production long before that. There are several examples (even from commercial companies) where EFL is used for production quality products.
EFL has successfully run on
- set top boxes
- game systems
- mobile phones
- Playstation 3
- fridges, printers e.t.c
Kapelonis Kostis is a software engineer. With the release of EFL he truly believes that hell froze ever. However he has already switched to Cairo for his graphic needs. He hopes that EFL will get the attention they deserve even at this point in time.

PEMBROKE, N.C. – In a game that saw 13 lead changes and seven tie scores, the Braves of UNC Pembroke went on a 9-0 run in the final 2:08 of the contest to defeat Coker, 70-61, in men's basketball action on Thursday night at the English E. Jones Center.
UNCP (5-2) was paced on offense once again by senior forward Jonathan Hart who finished the night with 24 points. Fellow senior Jarrell Hunter contributed 12 points of his own as the two upperclassman combined for 17 of Pembroke's 33 rebounds.
Coker (3-5) shot 40.0 percent in the game with 16 of their 20 field goals coming from behind the three-point arc. The Cobras' J.C. Hefner converted 7-of-12 three point attempts while adding two free throws to score a team-high 23 points. Ryan Fulwood added six three-pointers to add 18 points to Coker's total.
The Braves finished the night shooting 51.1 percent from the floor, marking the first time all season that UNCP has shot over 50 percent in a game. The second half saw Pembroke convert 14-of-16 free throws including two by Cortez Brown to take the lead at 62-61 with just over two minutes left in the contest, two by John Keimig to extend the Braves' lead to seven, and two by Demarcus Lyday to ice the game for UNCP.
"I thought that we did a good job making plays at the end out of our sets and we did a good job of making free throws down the stretch," said UNCP head coach Jason Tinsley. "We have to rebound, take care of the ball, make open shots and play harder. If we do those things, we have a chance to be in the game. If one of those four areas is lacking, we're not going to overcome that. That's just the reality of it. I think our guys are starting to buy into that and we're playing better because of it."

To the Editor:
In a recent letter to the editor, Rich Pytka of Crystal Lake argued for term limits and campaign finance reform.
I agree that we should give more attention to these issues. Thank you, Mr. Pytka, for bringing these to our attention.
However, you made a poor choice of the political personage to illustrate your cause. You do not advance our discussion of these important issues by citing Sen. Dick Durbin as an example of "a good part of what is wrong with our political system today" and one of the "dysfunctional politicians who have gridlocked the country."
Yes, Durbin is a moderate liberal, but he has a long history of working cooperatively across the aisle to reach reasonable compromise.
Durbin's kind of moderate political figures are being widely booted out of office to be replaced by rigid ideologues on both sides of the aisle who cannot or will not work with each other. These are the cast of miscreants who have gridlocked our basically wonderful form of government, not Durbin.

EPA adds Two and Proposes One Site in the Southeast to Superfund's National Priorities List
Release Date: 12/11/2013
Contact Information: James Pinkney, (404) 562-9183 (Direct), (404) 562-8400 (Main) email@example.com
(ATLANTA – December 11, 2013) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has added two and proposed one new hazardous waste site in the southeast that pose risks to human health and the environment to the National Priorities List (NPL) of Superfund sites. Superfund is the federal program that investigates and cleans up the most complex uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites in the country.
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the law establishing the Superfund program, requires EPA to update the NPL at least annually and clean up hazardous waste sites to protect human health with the goal of returning them to communities for productive use. A site's listing neither imposes a financial obligation on EPA nor assigns liability to any party. Updates to the NPL do, however, provide policymakers with a list of high priority sites, serving to identify the size and nature of the nation's cleanup challenges.
The Superfund program has provided important benefits for people and the environment since Congress established the program in 1980.Those benefits are both direct and indirect, and include reduction of threats to human health and ecological systems in the vicinity of Superfund sites, improvement of the economic conditions and quality of life in communities affected by hazardous waste sites, prevention of future releases of hazardous substances, and advances in science and technology.
By eliminating or reducing real and perceived health risks and environmental contamination associated with hazardous waste sites, Superfund actions frequently convert contaminated land into productive local resources and increase local property values. A recent study conducted by researchers at Duke and Pittsburgh Universities concluded that, while a site's proposal to the NPL reduces property values slightly, making a site final on the NPL begins to increase property values surrounding Superfund sites. Furthermore, the study found that, once a site has all cleanup remedies in place, surrounding properties have a significant increase in property values as compared to pre-NPL proposal values.
Since 1983, EPA has listed 1,694 sites on the NPL. At 1,147 or 68 percent of NPL sites, all cleanup remedies are in place. Approximately 645 or 38 percent of NPL sites have all necessary long-term protections in place, which means EPA considers the sites protective for redevelopment or reuse.
The following sites in the Southeast have been added to the National Priorities List:
- • Cristex Drum (former fabric mill) in Oxford, N.C.;
• Hemphill Road TCE (former chemical drum recycling) in Gastonia, N.C.;
The following site in the Southeast has been proposed to the National Priorities List:
- • Walker Machine Products, Inc. (former machine screw products manufacturer) in Collierville, Tenn.;
