The Harry Ransom Center's exhibitions Making Movies and ¡Viva! Mexico's Independence close Sunday, August 1.
Featuring items from the Ransom Center's extensive film collections, Making Movies reveals the collaborative nature of the filmmaking process and focuses on how the artists involved—from writers to directors, actors to cinematographers—transform the written word into moving image.
If you can't visit the exhibition before it closes, view a video interview with Associate Curator of Film Steve Wilson discussing how the Ransom Center's holdings document the history of the motion picture industry.
¡Viva! Mexico's Independence showcases materials from the Ransom Center's collections including the 1529 document appointing Hernán Cortés Captain General of New Spain; unpublished letters exchanged between Ferdinand Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, and his wife Carlotta; documentary photographs of the Mexican Revolution; and period broadsides illustrated by José Guadalupe Posada. The year 2010 marks the 200th anniversary of Mexico's independence from Spain and the 100th anniversary of the Mexican Revolution, pivotal events in Mexico's struggle for self-governance.
Free docent-led tours of the exhibitions are offered Tuesdays at noon and Saturdays at 2 p.m. through the end of the exhibition.
The permanent exhibitions, the Gutenberg Bible and the First Photograph, remain on display in the lobby. A new exhibition Discovering the Language of Photography: The Gernsheim Collection opens in the galleries on Tuesday, September 7.

State education commissioner's Common Core presentation brings skeptics out to BedfordBy DOUG ALDEN and BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 01. 2013 8:42PM
BEDFORD — State education commissioner Viginia Barry attempted to explain the controversial Common Core state education standards before an audience that included many skeptics with questions about the system and whether it's a good move for students.
Berry spoke at a meeting of the state's school administrators in Bedford this week.
But school board members, educators and parents from the Greater Manchester area also showed up for the meeting.
Some in the audience, including Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas, who chairs the city's Board of School Committee, said Barry's presentation left too many questions unanswered.
Later this month, the Manchester board will again consider whether to adopt the Common Core, an educational program covering all grades that the federal Department of Education is encouraging school districts nationwide to adopt.
Dissenting districts are afraid that they may lose federal aid and eventually state funding if the don't follow the nationalized education plan.
In response to a question from Gatsas, Barry said local districts can put off implementation until 2015 and referred to "assessments" that would then be taken of local districts to determine if they are meeting student needs.
Gatsas said the assessments have not been fully explained to local communities so that educators know what is coming next. He added that Barry's statement that "the windows closes in two years" is "too little information" for a school district that depends on state and federal sources for $77 million. Manchester schools receive $21 million from the United States and $56 million from New Hampshire.
Gatsas said he worries that city schools will be at a disadvantage because a large segment of the public school enrollment consists of non-English-speaking students.
"The question is, what will we do after two years," Gatsas said. "If we're still waiting for (a) waiver not to have to test students that aren't even proficient in their own language, I hope we can step back and tell the federal government we don't want to play any more."
Barry broke down Common Core requirements during her presentation, but some segments of the audience appeared to have already reached a conclusion on the suggested curriculum.
Many the audience came wearing red as a sign of opposition to the proposed overhaul of public education. Some objected to the general idea of the federal government seemingly imposing its will on local school districts, while others say they find fault with the specific curriculum structure and testing plans.
Barry challenged the critics of the program in the audience, saying it is not a program being forced on the country and that the standards are a guideline developed by educators and administrators nationwide.
"It's new to us, it's change and sometimes it's hard to accept that change process," Barry said at the sessions, which was officially a meeting of the state School Administrators Association south central district.
Manchester's Curriculum and Instruction Committee stalled in two separate meetings as it tried to reach a consensus on Common Core and ended up sending the matter to the full board without a recommendation for formal consideration on Oct. 16.
"We will have to have a discussion at that meeting," Gatsas said. "We may develop a set of Manchester standards and make sure the students reach them,"
Gatsas said Manchester may follow the lead of Massachusetts, which developed its own curriculum frameworks and assessment tests.
"The Massachusetts standards that have taken them from the bottom to near the top, that might be something we want to extract some standards from," Gatsas said.
A comment from Barry that the federal government is not leading the Common Core push was met by audible groans from the audience.
But the education commissioner was cheered when she said the state could have the option to leave the Smarter Balance tests if it chooses and go with a combination of PSAT and SAT college entrance exams.
Barry said Common Core is about better preparing students for the future.
"I hear all too often that the students don't care," she said. "Yeah they do, but they have to be in an environment that makes sense to them and they want to be fully engaged."

When screenwriter-producer Chris Morgan met with Arnold Schwarzenegger this fall to pitch him a proposed sequel to "Conan the Barbarian," the Governator required convincing on one matter above all others – and it had nothing to do with wearing a furry codpiece.
At a time when Schwarzenegger, 65, is attempting to reclaim his throne in Hollywood after years stalking Sacramento's corridors of power, why should he return to Conan? Why should he follow in his own footsteps to the pre-"Terminator" role that shot him to stardom?
"To put yourself out there in your 60s? As Conan the Barbarian? I could see why he'd hesitate," Morgan said. "You're really putting yourself out there."
In the end, though, Morgan – whose screenwriting credits include the last four "Fast & the Furious" sequels and the hit 2008 Angelina Jolie thriller "Wanted" – convinced Schwarzenegger to sign on to the upcoming "The Legend of Conan" by framing the project as the pop cultural equivalent to catching up with an old friend: "Not a reboot, not a remake. Just an update. Where has the character been all this time? A catch-up with Conan."
The project is the latest splashy star vehicle for Schwarzenegger, who inhabits a small part in the two "Expendables" films, and will next be seen as a sheriff battling a drug cartel in "The Last Stand," set for release early next year, and the upcoming "Ten," a David Ayer-directed thriller in which he portrays a Drug Enforcement Administration agent.
PHOTOS: Super-strength secrets of the Hollywood hulks
Any devotee of author Robert E. Howard's fantasy pulp serial, published in "Weird Tales" magazine in the early 1930s, can tell you that Conan was never just a barbarian. As the tagline for director John Milius' 1982 film explains, Conan is many things to many people — "Thief. Warrior. Gladiator. King." – among them. In Morgan's reimagining, "The Legend of Conan" picks up the story deep into Conan's magisterial rule over his kingdom, toward the end of a wildly multifaceted existence.
"He's not going out and fighting battles, but he ends up getting drawn into something," Morgan explained. "And he has to access the barbarian he was in his youth. I love that Conan has been many things in his life, notably a pirate, a major tactician and a commander of men. In this movie, we're going to tap into some of those things – things you haven't seen on screen yet."
And that necessarily involves acknowledging that the movie's star is no longer the oiled-up Mr. Olympia he was in his physical prime. Rather than try to CGI-in muscle bulging pectorals that no longer exist, Schwarzenegger — his bulk diminished by age — will be dutifully portrayed as the lion in winter that he is.
"I want the warrior whose joints have started to fuse together, who has to crack the cartilage so he can pick up a sword again," Morgan said. "I want the guy who's not necessarily lost a step, but there's some rust he has to shake off. I want to embrace that. It makes it a greater hero story.
"Conan needs to be faced with challenges," he continued. "The greatest challenge to him isn't the armies that are set before him. It's, on some level, self-doubt, a little bit of slowing down and forcing yourself to be heroic beyond what people expect of you. What I don't want is for him to step back in and look the same. That would defeat the purpose of our story."
Of course, Conan was brought back to the screen in 2011 with former "Baywatch" and "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa swinging the broadsword, but the $90-million, R-rated film flopped, taking in just $48 million at the box office.
Morgan describes himself as a "huge fan" of the Barbarian and says the first film influenced much of his screenwriting. But despite the producer's evident zeal for his dream project, Morgan may not be the one to draft the "Legend of Conan" script in the end. Although Universal Pictures wants the movie ready for a summer 2014 release, the writer is obligated to first deliver a seventh "Fast & Furious" installment first.
"No matter what, I'll be there every step of the way," Morgan said. "Whether it's penning this quickly or selecting the writer, it's me guiding the process or being a real honest-to-god producer. I'm excited either way. I'm really, really stoked."

Critical criteria
In the late 1990s, the dot-com era was in full bloom, with a record number of breakout stocks that were riding the crest of the Internet frenzy. Momentum trading was all the rage. Traders simply would wait for a breakout, buy and hold on. Substantial profits by mid-day were common.
The profits attracted a lot of money to the stock market, both from new investors and traders as well as additional investment from existing market participants. For many, the dot-com surge was an investor's Golden Age. Many even borrowed additional cash to invest, thinking that it would never end.
But end it did.
Eventually, a financial bubble formed, followed by a bust in early 1999. The effects of the collapse in many ways still are being felt today. One effect has been a long-term shift in the market's personality. Breakouts have dried up or failed to materialized. What worked in the late 1990s, no longer makes money. Traders who continued to bet big in old familiar ways faded into financial obscurity as their accounts dwindled.
In some ways, current markets mimic the sideways torment of the 1970s, when stock market profits were hard to come by and breakouts failed to provide easy money (see "Sideways seventies," below).

LU hosts Big Red tryouts July 23
Lamar University will host tryouts Saturday, July 23, to select Big Red mascots for upcoming Cardinal athletic seasons.
Big Red – the spirit of Lamar University – will join the Cheerleading Team and Dance Team to perform at home football and basketball games, as well as other campus and community events, said Kristyn Henderson, cheer and mascot coordinator.
The tryouts will be from noon to 3 p.m. in the Group Fitness Studio, next to McDonald Gym in the Sheila Umphrey Recreational Sports Center.
Henderson anticipates the selection of two mascots and one understudy. To be eligible for tryouts, students must have been accepted to Lamar University as a full-time student or must have applied and submitted transcripts and test scores for admission.
Mascot candidates must display mastery of skits/dance; improvision; and athletic skills, strength and abilities, Henderson said. Additional criteria include strong leadership qualities, charismatic presence/personality; confidence; independence and enthusiasm.
The Big Red mascot is selected to be an exemplary representative of the university who raises the level of public support for the university while increasing fan support and entertaining at athletic campus and community events, Henderson said.
The candidates will learn a cheer they will perform with Cheerleading Team members before the tryouts, as well as a dance. They will have four or five improvisation scenarios and also will go through an interview process. Participants should wear comfortable clothes and tennis shoes.
"Candidates do not need to learn all the motions, but they need to be able to show how they would participate with the cheerleaders in a game-day situation," Henderson said. "Each mascot candidate will need to choreograph and perform a skit no more than two minutes in length. This skit should incorporate crowd involvement and candidate personality."
Each student must provide a mascot application and application agreement, a Lamar University letter of acceptance or a copy of his or her summer 2011 or fall 2011 schedule; a close-up photograph; at least two letters of recommendation; high school or transfer school transcript; and waiver of liability, signed by a parent if the student is younger than 18. Students also must pay a non-refundable $25 mascot application fee, with check or money order made payable to Lamar University Cheerleading.
Additional information and applications are available from Henderson at (409) 880-7241 or email@example.com.

--28 October 2002 Government, ICANN Considering DDoS Protections
The government and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN), an Internet governing body, are trying to figure
out what to do to protect the domain name system (DNS) from further
distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks like the one launched
last week. They are likely to take steps to require that packets with
forged return addresses be blocked. It is also likely the root-name
server operators will add more servers. Large buyers may be encouraged
to do business only with ISPs that have DDoS protection in place.
--23 October 2002 There Were Two Attacks on the Internet
According to officials at Verisign, a second large distributed denial
of service (DDoS) attack occurred just hours after the attack on
the Internet's root name servers, this time targeting the domain
name servers such as dot-com, dot-biz and dot-info, and country code
domains such as Great Britain's dot-uk and Canada's dot-ca.
--22, 23 & 28 October 2002 Internet DDoS Attack
White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said it is still unknown who is
responsible for the attack. The attacks were not sophisticated, and
there was no serious degradation of service; though all 13 servers
were targeted, at least 4 kept running uninterrupted. Experts have
expressed concern that this attack could be a precursor to a larger,
more serious one. The FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center
(NIPC) and cybercrime division agents are investigating.
--28 October 2002 Reuters Charged with Hacking
Swedish IT company Intentia plans to file criminal charges against
Reuters; it alleges the news agency broke into its computers to obtain
company information. An internal investigation brought to light the
fact than an intrusion into company computers came from an IP address
belonging to Reuters, which published the disappointing figures ahead
of their official release. Several other Scandinavian companies
claim Reuters published their figures ahead of schedule as well.
[Editor's Note: (Shpantzer) Intentia, the company whose information
was published by Reuters, says that the information was on the
web server but could not be accessed "through normal channels."
It appears that Reuters used very basic URL guessing as a method
to obtain the information that was on the webserver, as it was
not immediately available to the casual surfer on the website via
hyperlink. Intentia is looking to the Swedish court system to create
a precedent stating that these methods are explicitly illegal.
This story got me curious so I did a little looking around in the
news room of the Intentia website, and found the following URLs:
This was the URL for their first quarter results.
This was the URL for their second quarter results:
And this is the URL for their third quarter results, published by
Reuters in the alleged hack:
1, 2, 3, 4, Intentia declares a legal war. Let's hope they don't
put the unpublished fourth quarter results on the web site with a Q4
replacing Q3 in the URL name.]
--28 October 2002 Kournikova Virus Writer Loses Appeal In Dutch Court
Dutch judges meted out a sentence of 150 hours of community service
to the author of the Kourmikova virus. They didn't believe the
offender's claim that he didn't know (1) what he was doing or (2)
that releasing viruses would be damaging. He had over 7,000 virus
specimens on his computer and worked in a computer store.
--25 October 2002 Visa is Testing Voice Authentication Technology
Visa International, Inc. has begun using voice authentication
technology internally to allow employees to reset their passwords; the
technology could eventually be used for on line purchase verification.
[Editor's Note (Murray): If one goes to the trouble to enroll one's
users for a biometric, one ought to use it routinely as part of
a strong authentication scheme. To use it to manage passwords is
absurd; i.e., use a weak authenticator to manage an even weaker one.
Replacing passwords with strong authentication has been the biggest
agenda item for a generation]
--25 October 2002 NIST System Certification and Accreditation Program
As part of its System Certification and Accreditation Project, the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has posted
Special Publication 800-37, proposed guidelines for performing
security checkups. Guidelines for minimum security requirements for
federal online systems (800-53) and techniques for determining systems'
security levels (800-53A) will follow over the next few months.
Download the draft: http://csrc.nist.gov/sec-cert/
[Editor's Note (Northcutt): Security accreditation is not the hottest
topic, but if you are a U.S. government worker, or do work with the
government, I strongly advise you to take a look at this document
and to send in your comments. My preference is rapid assessment
and remediation and specific checklists over fluffy process, but
Ron Ross and Marianne Swanson and their team have created a solid
first cut that does not appear to be so paperwork heavy it dies of
its own weight, a la DITSCAP. One of the interesting components
is the "type accreditation" in which you harden an OS to a certain
level and this serves as an initial or "interim" accreditation for a
number of different environments. Obviously, this could be abused,
but it could also be a powerful tool to encourage broad-based adoption
of standards.]
--25 October 2002 Professional Certifications Outpace Skills
for Bonuses
In the first half of 2002, bonus pay for technical certifications
rose while bonuses for skills sagged, reaching a historic crossing
point. Foote Partners' survey summarizes the data and shows the
skills and certifications experiencing the largest changes in premium
bonus pay. Security certifications took four of the top six places.

--24 & 25 October 2002 CERT/CC Warns of Kerberos Vulnerability
The Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center (CERT/CC)
has issued an advisory warning of a buffer overflow vulnerability
in Kerberos Administration Daemon. The flaw could be exploited to
obtain root privileges on vulnerable systems. Patches and upgrades
are available to address the problem. Affected systems include
MIT Kerberos version 4 and version 5 through krb5-1.2.6, KTH eBones
versions earlier than 1.2.1 and KTH Heimdal earlier than 0.5.1.
--24 October 2002 Will NIST's Computer Security Division be Part
of DHS?
Commerce Department Deputy Secretary Samuel Bodman said the National
Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST's) Computer Security
Division should be transferred to the new Department of Homeland
Security. A bill that recently passed the House (H.R. 5005) would
block the transfer. The Business Software Alliance (BSA) feels the
move is unnecessary.
[Editor's Note (Paller): Deputy Secretary Bodman is probably right. The
computer security group at NIST has done a lot of good, but they
could have made a huge difference in the security of federal systems
and commercial systems had they been given substantial financial and
management support. Lacking such support at NIST, they risk being made
irrelevant unless they get some of the authority and money that will
accompany the new Department of Homeland Security. Quiz question: Why
would groups representing marketing interests in companies that sell
software, argue against including NIST's security responsibilities in
a new Department where NIST's excellent technical security staff could
establish security standards for software sold to the government and be
a force in helping agencies use the standards in their procurements?]
--24 October 2002 Poll Shows Mixed Reviews of Microsoft's Move
Toward Trustworthy Computing
An InternetWeek reader poll with 213 respondents found that 50%
feel Microsoft has made little or no progress toward Trustworthy
Computing, while 37% feel the company has made some or great progress;
the rest feel things are the same as they were before the initiative
was announced. The article includes reader comments.
[Editor's Note (Murray): By expecting results in six months
InternetWeek editors demonstrate a lack of understanding of the
problem. Much of it is related to MS's need to maintain backward
compatibility to popular applications. Much of the problem is related
to very old code; it will not be identified or fixed overnight.
(Paller): Though users are still feeling the pain of two decades
of security neglect by Microsoft, it is time for all other software
developers to step up and be measured against Microsoft's security
initiatives. Those who build Linux and Solaris and other operating
systems, those who build Oracle and DB2 and other databases and those
who build client software and applications (the two newest targets of
attackers) should report publicly the percent of all their software
developers who have taken and passed secure programming courses, the
depth of automated and manual security testing done on every line of
code they deliver, the automated systems they offer to update users'
systems automatically to fix critical security flaws, and the degree
to which their installed base of is being protected rather than being
forced to upgrade. Microsoft has a long way to go, but the other
vendors may be even further behind.]
--24 October 2002 NTT DoCoMo Site Intrusion
A cracker broke into NTT DoCoMo's web site and altered a web page
that lets customers modify contractual terms with the Japanese
mobile phone services company; the page was made inaccessible.
No individual customer data was altered; the company says it will
enhance its site security.
--24 October 2002 Brookings Study: Good Security Will Require More
than Market Forces
A study from the Brookings Institution, "Interdependent Security:
Implications for Homeland Security Policy and Other Areas" argues that
market forces alone do not provide adequate incentive for businesses
to implement strong security measures. Companies do not often see
security as providing a good return on investment, and when leading
companies don't spend the money on security, others don't either.
The study recommends regulations, insurance and third-party inspections
to help boost security to appropriate levels.
[Editor's Note (Murray): There are only the market and coercion;
those who argue that one will not work are arguing for the other.
Be careful what you ask for; you might get it.
(Paller) A balance between market forces and coercion is having
extraordinary impact: Buyers combine their technology purchasing power
to force suppliers to deliver safer systems. The federal government
is the leader in this, but hundreds of organizations have joined
forces in the Center for Internet Security (www.cisecurity.org)
to establish standards for safer software, and they are beginning
to order software configured safely on delivery. Some buyers are
forcing software suppliers to take full economic responsibility for
security breaches caused by flaws in their software. Market forces
improve security when buyers unite.]
--24 October 2002 A Palm Like an Open Book
The ubiquity of personal digital assistants (PDAs) has helped
law enforcement agents gather evidence and successfully prosecute
crimes ranging from identity theft to corporate espionage to murder.
The convenience of having so much data in one place eliminates the
need for dumpster diving and other more tedious forms of evidence
gathering, and PDAs are rarely encrypted or even password protected.
(Please note: this site requires free registration)
[Editor's Note (Shpantzer): I spoke today with Amber Schroader,
from Paraben Software, who is quoted in this article. She says that
the current breed of PDA passwords typically crack within minutes,
including the encryption built into the word processing, spreadsheet
and zip applications for the PDAs. The more complex and lengthy
passwords take up to two weeks. The few cases in which forensics
personnel are not able to get the plaintext data are caused by a
strong third party encryption program installed on the device.]
--24 October 2002 Canadian Inmates Pose Cyber Risk
An internal report from Canada's Correctional Service (CSC) warns that
inmates with computers could spread viruses or break into the CSC's
network. Though the report strongly urges that inmates be allowed to
use only prison-issue PCs, inmates who already have their own computers
have been allowed to keep them. During the last five years, there have
been more than 600 security incidents involving inmates' computers;
the machines have also been used to plot escapes and create false IDs.
[Editor's Note (Northcutt): Heavy sigh. You would think 600 security
incidents would be enough to discover something is amiss.]
--23 October 2002 Bugbear Bites Australian Government Again
Australia's Parliament House in Canberra was hit with a second round of
the Bugbear virus, prompting the Department of Parliamentary Reporting
to ask everyone in the building to turn off printers. The October
3rd infection made some printers print pages and pages of gibberish.
--23 October 2002 Berman's Hack Back Bill Likely Candidate for
The P2P Piracy Prevention Act, widely criticized for its vague language
allowing copyright holders to hack back with impunity at suspected
digital pirates, will likely be revised to eliminate those problems,
according to an aide to bill author Representative Howard Berman
--28 October 2002 Root DDoS Attack May Have Been Info Gathering Probe
Several security pundits believe that last week's distributed denial
of service (DDoS) attack on the 13 Internet root servers was a probe
to gather information prior to an attack of much greater magnitude.
Ed Skoudis says it is possible that the Internet will be brought down
within the next few years, but compared it to a snow day rather than
an event with dire physical consequences.
--22 October 2002 Defacements Increasing
Roberto Preatoni, the owner of Zone-H.org, a web site that tracks
defacements, says web vandalism is on the rise; the number of
defacement notices he receives daily has jumped from about 40 last
year to 500 this year. Preatoni warns that while defacements are
largely vandalism, some of the attacks may give crackers root access.
--22 October 2002 Customs Wants to Build Secure Network
The U.S. Customs Service is expected to issue a draft request for
proposal (RFP) for building a classified network for law enforcement
data; the RFP will be available only to vendors with top-secret
facility security clearance and personnel with valid security
--21 October 2002 Support Growing for Security Regulations
During a meeting at MIT, Critical Infrastructure Protection Board
chairman Richard Clarke heard from academics, business people and
security experts about the necessity for some method to hold software
vendors accountable for product security. Though Clarke would prefer
to allow market pressure to take care of accountability, there is a
cry for regulations or a certification body to ensure the software
[Editor's Note (Murray): I will start to give credence to such
orchestrated whining on the same day I see any preference in the market
place for secure operating systems over popular ones. Bad software
is a fact of life; get used to it.]
--21 October 2002 NASA's Vulnerability Reduction Program Works
NASA began its Vulnerability Reduction Program in 1999 when it
became clear that the agency's 80,000 computers were plagued by
the same security holes again and again. NASA made a list of the
top 50 vulnerabilities, bought vulnerability scanning software and
began challenging each of its centers to gradually reduce the ratio
of vulnerabilities to computers. Each quarter the list is revised;
NASA has seen a marked decline in successful attacks against its
systems since the program has been implemented. Its success inspired
the SANS Top 10 and 20 lists.
[Editor's Note: This article provides details on NASA's efforts that
were not included in articles we covered last week.]

This form is used to document both a preliminary determination of the Tier classification and any associated Application Fee.
Step 1: APPLICATION CLASSIFICATION AND TIER DETERMINATION
DEQ's "Uniform Permitting" system, under OAC 252:004, categorizes different types of applications as Tier I, II, or III, depending on their complexity and the amount of public interest. The main effect of a Tier classification is the amount of public review given the application. For Air Quality permits, Tier I basically includes minor facilities and most synthetic minor facilities. Tier II covers major sources, and Tier III covers only very large sources such as those requiring PSD review. Additional information to make a preliminary determination of the Tier classification is provided on the next page. This determination will be verified before permit issuance.
Note that all Tier II and III applications require public notice of the application in one newspaper local to the site or facility as soon after the filing date as possible. Other public participation requirements, such as notice of draft and proposed permit, and notice of public meeting may also be required. Contact our office for more information on these requirements.

Filming for the new "Transformers" movie has been blowing up Chicago, much like the Bears had done for the first three weeks of the NFL season. On Sunday they put their undefeated record on the line in Detroit, home of automakers and star receiver Calvin "Megatron" Johnson.
It didn't turn out well. Bad Jay Cutler showed up. So did big, bad Ndamukong Suh. Ditto for Reggie Bush. Add it up and it means the Bears lose 40-32, falling to 3-1 and into a tie with the Lions for the NFC North lead.
The Bears did their best to make it interesting, spotting Detroit a 40-16 lead before charging back with two touchdowns and a pair of two-point conversions.
"The character we have in that locker room wouldn't let us stop," Cutler said. "We kept fighting back. ... If I tightened up in the first half, hopefully we'd have a different outcome."
So who played like a powerful, city-stomping machine, and who looked in need of serious repairs? We put the key figures from Sunday's game into three categories: Optimus Prime (intimidating sem-itrailer truck), Bumblebee (slick sports car) or broken-down mess (lemon).
Chicago Tribune contributed to this report.
Lemon: Bears special teams
To no one's surprise, Devin Hester kept returning kickoffs that he fielded deep in his own end zone. To everyone's surprise, he had a hard time getting back to the 20-yard line. The special teams also surrendered a long punt return in the first half that led to a Lions TD.
Truck: Julius Peppers
The Bears' star defensive lineman was practically invisible the first three games of the season. But he wound up with a respectable four tackles and forced a Lions fumble that turned into a Bears field goal late in the first half. So that's something.
Sports car: Reggie Bush
The Lions running back twisted, leaped and dashed his way to 139 yards rushing and 34 receiving, including a touchdown. He was the difference-maker in this game, much more so than Calvin Johnson. The Bears just had no answer when they needed to stop Bush.
Their words: "When we don't tackle the way we need to, that shows what [Reggie Bush] can do." —Bears defensive lineman Corey Wootton
Truck: Alshon Jeffery
As Martellus Bennett would say, it was Jeffery's turn to "channel his inner Brandon Marshall." He showed great hands, coming down with a 44-yard bomb and later a TD catch in heavy traffic. He also stiff-armed a would-be Lions tackler on a 27-yard run in the second quarter.
Sports car: Matt Forte
While the score was close, Forte was a factor. He bolted past the Lions defense for 53-yard touchdown in the second quarter and ended up with 95 yards rushing and 22 receiving. Not nearly enough, unfortunately for the Bears.
Truck: Ndamukong Suh
For a second there, it looked like Suh might ruin Cutler's day again. The Lions' wrecking ball sacked Cutler, who twisted his knee as he was going down, late in second quarter. Suh also exploded into the Bears backfield at the least opportune times for Chicago fans.
Lemon: Jay Cutler
The good news is the Bears quarterback avoided being planted into the turf by Suh, and he threw for more than 300 yards for the first time this season. The bad news is he threw three interceptions and fumbled once, leading to an easy Lions return for a score.
Their words: "I felt good about my decision making; I just missed some throws. … I've just got to give us a better chance to winning." —Jay Cutler

By Susan Cornwell
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers are reconsidering a 1990 law that makes the State Department accept the lowest bids for contracts to provide private security at most U.S. diplomatic posts, a requirement that can lead to the hiring of thousands of guards based on how cheap they are rather than their quality.
Concerns about the policy, which was aimed at cutting costs, were heightened by the assault on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, last September, in which U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans were killed. None of the local guards was outside the lightly defended complex when it was overrun by militants, according to the results of a U.S. government inquiry.
Fifteen months earlier, at the heavily guarded U.S. Embassy in Pakistan - a walled compound within a gated diplomatic enclave - dozens of local guards refused to work for three days. The strike over pay and benefits potentially put security at risk, the U.S. State Department inspector general's office said in an audit in February 2012.
A government spending bill, which passed Congress this week, gives the State Department the flexibility to hire local guards for Afghanistan, Pakistan "and other hostile or high-risk areas" on a best-value basis, allowing for the appropriate trade-offs between cost and quality, a Senate aide said, although the provisions are due to expire at the end of September.
Senators Robert Menendez and Bob Corker, the leading Democrat and Republican on the Foreign Relations Committee, are also discussing whether to propose permanent changes to the way local guards are hired as part of embassy security legislation in the coming months, aides to both men said.
Many people think of the Marines, the sentinels at the front doors of many U.S. embassies, as the buildings' protectors. But they are there mainly to safeguard classified documents. There were no Marines at the Benghazi mission, a temporary facility.
It is the host country - and when it cannot or will not, the locally hired guards - that the U.S. government typically relies on to help keep its diplomats and buildings safe.
One of the last things former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked Congress to do before she left office on February 1 was to change the law requiring that most local guard contracts be awarded on a "lowest price technically acceptable" basis.
The money-saving requirement applies in "dangerous places like Libya," she said.
"We have requested a change in the legislation that would allow us to use some discretion to try to deal with the varieties and vagaries of these local guard forces," she told the House Foreign Affairs Committee in January.
Corker heard complaints about the lowest-price rule from U.S. embassies during a recent trip to several African countries. He visited war-torn Mali, as well as Senegal, Algeria and Tunisia, all of which are confronted with the spread of weapons from Libya after Muammar Gaddafi's overthrow.
The lowest-priced bid requirement encourages companies to snatch a contract from a competitor by lowering the embassy guards' pay, Corker said. "You're just cutting wages of people who actually have performed well and been on the front lines," he said.
The State Department inspector general's office says that changing the law would probably end up costing more - a tough sell in the current atmosphere of fiscal tightening. There are about 30,000 local guards protecting roughly 285 U.S. diplomatic facilities worldwide, the State Department says.
During the past several years, about $500 million has been spent annually on the guards. That does not include Iraq and Afghanistan, which have been budgeted separately.
In December, a State Department-ordered inquiry into the Benghazi attack cited numerous failures, including serious leadership deficiencies at the department that led to insufficient security.
But it also labeled as "inadequate" the responses of the local guards, who worked for a British company called Blue Mountain Group. None was keeping watch outside before the attack, and it was unclear whether they sounded any alarms, the review said.
Since the Benghazi attacks, the company has repeatedly declined to comment in response to Reuters' inquiries.
The lowest-priced rule for local guard contracts "often results in poorly paid and motivated guards," Michael Raynor, former executive director of the State Department's Bureau of African Affairs, wrote last year.
"Paying guards less than living wages" not only has security costs, Raynor wrote to the State Department inspector general, but also "undercuts our Missions' broader engagement in championing human rights."
"What it allowed was cheap guarding ... from the local population, or inexpensive Third World guarding from elsewhere," said Charles Tiefer, law professor at the University of Baltimore and member of the U.S. Commission on Wartime Contracting, which examined spending in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Last year's audit by the inspector general's office related one particularly large problem at the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa. The embassy had to issue 60 "deficiency notices" to its local guard contractor for performance problems.
Over two-thirds of 86 U.S. diplomatic posts surveyed reported some problems with guard forces, such as absenteeism and turnover, the audit said.
The June 2011 guard strike in Islamabad, Pakistan, posed a security risk because although the contractor replaced the strikers, it did so with unapproved guards who had not undergone required background checks, another audit from the State Department inspector general's office said last year.
The strikers had been hired under a 2007 contract awarded to G4S Secure Solutions International Inc on a lowest-price basis. The protest ended when the contractor agreed to increase the guards' pay, the audit said.
Their salaries were not revealed in the unclassified version of the report. A spokeswoman for the company, a subsidiary of the British-based G4S security services firm, declined comment.
Cameron Munter, who was ambassador to Pakistan during the 2011 guard strike, said, "The obvious end result that any ambassador wants is a motivated guard force that can be depended on in a crisis to do the things it's been trained to do."
But Munter also warned that changing contracting rules was not a panacea for safety.
"If all we learn from Chris Stevens' death is that we have to spend money differently, we haven't addressed the real issue - which is, we need to be informed and we have to think hard about how we are best informed, in order to protect ourselves. This is a question of smart security," Munter said.

Opelousas Man Arrested In Fatal Crash
37-year-old Kevin Mayo of Opelousas is being charged with negligent homicide after a deadly crash took the life of his passenger, 18-year-old Corita Leben of Port Barre.
La. State Police say it happened late Friday night at 11:27 p.m. Troopers say Mayo was driving a 1994 Buick south on La. highway 103 near Alex Stoute Road when, for reasons still under investigation, traveled off the right side of the road, went into the ditch and struck a concrete culvert. Officers say neither Mayo nor Leben were restrained. Leben was pronounced dead at the scene by the St. Landry Parish Coroner. Mayo suffered minor injuries.
Toxicology samples obtained by Troopers are being submitted to the State Police Crime Lab for analysis.
After Mayo was released from the hospital, he was booked into the St. Landry Parish Jail for negligent homicide, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, no seat belt and driving with an invalid driver's license.
Authorities continue to investigate.
Louisiana Law requires that all persons, regardless of seating position, must be restrained. La. State Police say while wearing a seat belt will not save you in every crash, it will greatly reduce your risk of injury in most crashes.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A collection of late actress Elizabeth Taylor's personal items, including jewelry, cocktail dresses and film costumes, will go under the hammer in Beverly Hills, California, Julien's Auctions said on Tuesday.
The collection, which comes from an unidentified former employee of Taylor, will first go on display in Ireland on Tuesday and will hit the auction block on October 12.
The top item, an 18-karat gold, multi-gem earring and necklace set, is expected to fetch between $10,000 and $15,000. The necklace and earrings set include multiple topaz, diamond, peridot and citrine gemstones.
Taylor, who died in 2011 at the age of 79, epitomized Hollywood glamour from its golden age with her love of diamonds, her violet eyes and a tumultuous love life that included eight marriages, two of them to Welsh actor Richard Burton.
In a career spanning seven decades, British-American Taylor first gained fame in 1944's "National Velvet" at age 12 and was nominated for five Oscars. She won the best actress award for 1960's "Butterfield 8" and 1966's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Also for sale is the falcon headdress Taylor wore in the 1963 film "Cleopatra," where she began her love affair with Burton. The headdress, which helped score the film an Oscar award for costume design, is expected to sell for $2,000 to $3,000.
A décolletage-baring spaghetti-strap gown and bolero jacket designed by South African couturier Chris Levin that Taylor wore to Burton's 50th birthday party at London's Dorchester Hotel in 1975 is expected to fetch between $2,000 and $3,000.
An antique inlaid wood stagecoach box used by Taylor's mother, stage actress Sara Sothern, which includes glass-cut toiletry jars and mother of pearl handles is estimated to sell for $6,000 to $8,000.

They probably wouldn't have done that if more people bought PC games. I don't get why so many people pirate PC games. It isn't like it is a secret that that is kind of killing the PC gaming industry. : -\

The majority of the gamers on the planet have never played a PC game, let alone pirated one. A university professor who used Portal 2 as teaching material, found to his surprise that most of his students have no idea how to play the game using a keyboard and mouse.
The barrier for entry into PC gaming is high. Especially with getting the right hardware and keeping it up to date. The fact is most people play consoles, so most of the money is in consoles. To blame piracy is just a flat-out error.

The only games that are still mainly played on PC are those that needed a keyboard+mouse. Like Civilization and traditional RTS. Otherwise Console gets more sales no matter what anyone else says.
In short, there just aren't that many PC gamers.
In this very thread, we have people deciding to buy the console version of Skyrim even though they know it is the inferior product, because upgrading the computer is not a simple decision to make. And even for the PC version Bethesada had to lower the hardware requirements as much as they can, to avoid losing sales.

Regardless of piracy, PC game companies with a loyal fanbase still sell games. Hell, I've had a game pirate tell me that he always bought games from Bioware, Blizzard, and Valve because those were his three favourite studios and observed similar behaviour among other pirates.
THey may not have released a game in half a decade and hence been overshadowed by other companies, but I don't believe for a second that ID Software has much trouble selling games on the PC. So I don't think that's an excuse for half-assing a title of Rage's stature. Ditto for Skyrim when it comes out, since the Elder Scrolls franchise has a dedicated following.

It is funny, back in 2004 or 2005, I bought a PC gaming magazine, and in that issue, there was a parody of sorts; they showed a mag cover of their magazine from 10 years in the future (so, you know, they were just making things up). On this sort of parody cover was a caption that said "Console gaming: How it died off". Or something like that. It is nearly ten years from that issue, and PC gaming is hurting, and console gaming is doing great.

Another problem with the PC industry is the inability to recognize the one thing consoles can't do -
- modding and player created content.
The Elder Scrolls has a huge PC following because of the mod community, and with Bethesda allowing mods with most of their games, they have more people buying PC versions of their games. Sadly, a lot of companies still don't support player created content and are against any player created content because they can't make money off of it and only want to provide overpriced DLCs.
You also forgot to add MMOs to PC gaming. I just don't ever see that working on a console until they add keyboard and mouse support. They'll keep trying with games like DC Universe and the like, but those games just suck with a controller.

As explained it is wrong to blame piracy as there are simply much more console gamers than PC gamers. I think the biggest issue is as was said, that you need to keep up with the HDD. A console will last you for few years until new games move onto new platform, but with PC you have to update it like yearly, and even the first purchase of a gaming PC would get you all three consoles and still some extra money.
There is however, something I don't get. Lets take graphics for example.. To me it looks like Skyrim was more like made for consoles and then ported to PC. Why aren't games made in the opposite way? Make it for PC, and then optimize it for consoles so that PC gamers can get everything out of the game while all console users are stuck with the optimized ones.
Edit : In before the anti-piracy team of AS.. I just pre-ordered my copy of the Skyrim and will be picking it up on the midnight of 11.11. Some games are just really worth of buying

They made it clear that Xbox360 is the easiest of the platforms to code for. They just had to make sure Skyrim runs on 360, then just up the graphics setting for the others and change the control scheme for keyboard and mouse for PC.
Consoles need optimization for everything because really, it is all about compromises. PC games are more flexible so if they need to change things there, they can.
By the way, ALL the current footage of the game are from the 360. No one has seen the PC graphics yet.

Mods are the main reason I'm not sure I'll be buying at release. As much as I love the Elder Scroll games, it's a love that came to be due to the vast improvements one can do via modding, as the vanilla games themselves are mostly piles of poo.
Maybe I'll wait a month or two for the initial flood of mods to come out, and the game has come down $10-20 in price.

^20 bucks down in price in two months? In Elder Scrolls series? Are you serious? That ain't happening.
I'm worried about the bugs at release too but the suspension is killing me .. I can not wait any longer for the game. (That, and I've been bored to death lately so this will help me some..). The game has so many new features, and the graphics are great .. even for 360, so I can only imagine how they will look on Ultra settings <3. I wish they had used new engine though.. some of the animation is just .. blergh. Anyway, point is, with all the new stuff Skyrim has offer, if the game has no bugs that cause crashes or anything critical like that (Like in New Vegas -_-), it'll be playable and I can just add mods as they come.

lemme guess, you want mods for GUNS?
seriously why the heck are you going to wait for mods if you dont even know what's in the game?
You may also get a better discount on Steam, dunno if they're selling there though.

The Xbox version leaked yesterday, would've reported in yesterday but I was going out.
Pretty much someone started streaming, the first gameplay leak showed the first mission up till the end of it when you actually get open world. This bloke went further.
I must say I was impressed, the music was amazing and the score will be 4cd's for anyone who doesn't know yet.
Spoiler for content:
The rest of the day /v/ was in glory over this game and during the night the trolls came out spewing about that the graphics were bad; I didn't believe it because it was an Xbox ported version. And besides /v/ hates videogames.
It was a good day though.
I just had to add this, I just had to because this news to me is the best news I've heard so far today.
Spoiler for for previously denied subject in game:

Oh those Bethsoft trolling the community. I remember when Bethsoft said there weren't werewolves in the game, the official forums were up in arms with much fan rage. Pretty sure if the screenshots are real the rage has just about turned to wank.

ROTTERDAM, N.Y. (AP) — Leaner, greener school lunches served under new federal standards are getting mixed grades from students.
One student complains because his cafeteria no longer serves chicken nuggets. Another gripes that her school lunch just isn't filling. A third says he's happy to eat an extra apple with his lunch, even as he's noshing on his own sub.
The guidelines approved this year by the U.S. Department of Agriculture set limits on calories and phase in whole grains. Schools must offer at least one vegetable or fruit per meal. They can still serve chocolate milk, but it has to be nonfat.
A USDA official says reactions in schools so far this fall have been positive.
But some active students, like freshman Rachelle Chinn of Clarence, Mo., who plays softball, say the fruits and vegetables wear off too soon, leaving her hungry.
