Back in December, with his 2,000-yard rushing season still far from complete, Minnesota Vikings star running back Adrian Peterson proclaimed the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award was "in the bag."
Peterson said he'd already turned his attention to claiming league MVP honors, despite the bias he felt voters have for quarterbacks. On Saturday, he was again overflowing with confidence about his chances.
"I'm going to win it," Peterson told Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post from Hawaii. "I will get it."
As you might expect, Peterson's assumptions have not escaped the notice of Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos quarterback who serves as Peterson's chief competition for both the Comeback Player and MVP awards.
On Tuesday night, stars from the AFC and NFL Pro Bowl squads gathered at a resort in Oahu, where Manning delivered a speech imploring players to raise the level of play in the Pro Bowl and save the game from extinction. Manning also roasted stars in attendance, according to NFL.com's Andy Fenelon, who was on the scene.
Manning saved his best burn for Peterson.
"Everyone should play like Adrian Peterson," Manning said. "This guy does everything full speed. Pro Bowl -- promoting himself for MVP."
The audience burst into laughter. That included Peterson himself.
"I thought it was funny, man," Peterson said. "Manning is always pulling somebody's chain. This time, he got me. That's just the way he is. And I have a ton of respect for him."
Peterson's bravado is excellent. Manning's reaction to Peterson's pomposity is tremendous. Why can't we have them share the awards and call it a season?

Lean process management and improved engagement with the community are expected to be focus areas for Maj. Gen. Gwen Bingham when she assumes command of the U.S. Army Tacom Life Cycle Management Command in Warren starting tomorrow.Bingham, a native of Alabama and commander of White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico since 2012, becomes the first woman to lead Tacom when she formally assumes command Wednesday from current Maj. Gen. Michael Terry. She was also the first woman and African-American commander at White Sands. She told reporters Tuesday at the Detroit Arsenal that she expects to implement lean process management tools at Tacom much as she has done at White Sands, as the Army has reduced its troop headcount amid the ongoing wind-down of deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Army is in the process of reducing its active duty positions from 560,000 to 490,000 troops by 2015, with a future defense plan in the 2015 budget calling for the service to trim to 420,000 troops by 2019. But, Bingham adds, she remains fundamentally a "people person" in her management style. "We do have Six Sigma efficiency training in (the Army, to improve) ways of doing business, and as we do draw down from (overseas deployment) that is something we have done and are going to have to look at doing," she said. "(But) I'm a people person, I believe in taking care of people, and in all the jobs we do worldwide we want to make the best possible use of people in all our deployments and troop (strength) and total programs." Bingham, who will mark 33 years of military service in August, relocated from New Mexico to Macomb Township with her husband about two weeks ago. She said her historic role in Tacom is a point of pride but not necessarily a motivation in taking command posts. "It's a reality, and it's not something I go … actively looking to be," she said of her history-making past and present command posts. "But I get Vietnam veterans walking up to me who tell me how they never expected to see an African-American with two stars (a major-general rank insignia). And … I like to give back, because I didn't do it all by myself and I see everyone I've worked with before from an E-1 (enlisted solider) to a general playing a role in me becoming who I am." Tacom, a division of the U.S. Army Materiel Command, has overseen more than $10 billion in contract awards each of the past two years and maintains a workforce of more than 19,000 people at 109 locations including more than 7,000 people in Warren – the majority of them civilian Army employees. She also pointed to the recently convened a new Army Southeast Michigan Advisory Council, of 13 local advisors to the base command that meets again in August, and ongoing Army programs to support training and education for science, technology, engineering and math careers, as areas where the base will focus on engaging the larger Southeast Michigan community in the future. Terry, who commanded Tacom since June 2012, will retire at a ceremony in Fort Hood in Texas after 35 years in military service.

Faith-Based Organizations and AIDS: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. 2010
People within organizations should expose the underlying forces driving their agendas, and organizations operating in coalition should be encouraged to offer up a statement of principles so that hidden biases can be revealed.
"Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give thee rest." As a Christian and a proponent of social justice for all, I have some questions regarding churches' response to AIDS.
I've enjoyed ten years of working in faith-based organizations (FBOs) that fight AIDS, and have seen much to inspire, educate, and horrify me. I'll base my comments on human rights and love, both of which are biblical principles, even if "human rights" isn't stated in those terms in the Bible.
There is a lot that is compelling about the work of FBOs in AIDS and a lot that, while compatible in theory, is quite contradictory and damaging in practice. Because FBOs have received millions of dollars from the U.S. and other nations, and from other funding sources such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, it is critical to examine how they are working and what their impact is on nations, communities, families, and individuals.
Why Are Faith-Based Organizations Engaged in AIDS Work?
The Bible offers a clear mandate to care for people in need of help and to attempt to balance the scales of justice. Matthew 25:40 says, "Whatsoever you do unto the least of these, you do unto me"; Micah 6:8 states, "What do I require of you?to live justly"; and 1 John 3:17 asks, "If anyone has enough money to live on and sees a brother or sister in need and refuses to help -- how can God's love be in that person?"
So it is not surprising that in sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean, FBOs provide up to 40% of all health care, and churches are present in many communities. At times there is no other health institution of any sort. In the U.S. there are also many faith-based health centers and other HIV service providers. The sheer presence and capacity of FBOs puts them in a good position to offer a range of services. Also, in many communities in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, the U.S., and to some extent Asia, there are very high percentages of Christians -- so the influence that FBOs and faith leaders have in the community is significant, for better or worse.
What Has Worked?
My first entrée to global work in AIDS was through an FBO. I was focused on supporting home-based care and hospices through Interchurch Medical Assistance World Health and its member organizations (a variety of mainline Protestant churches). The reach of these churches and FBOs into communities was tremendously helpful -- outreach workers were there for families and individuals in need of support and comfort in their final months. I also witnessed how the spiritual component offered great comfort, resulting in a peaceful death for many.
I've also seen churches have a very positive influence in the policy arena. The United Methodist Church, Lutheran Church, Church World Service, and others invested significant resources in policy analysis and mobilizing their congregations to advocate for increased funding for AIDS, as well as related issues like debt cancellation, which afforded countries the flexibility to assign more resources to health programs.
Similarly I've seen the establishment of the African Network of Religious Leaders Living with AIDS, which has worked to destigmatize HIV by having religious leaders speak out, offering messages of love and compassion, without judgment. Cristo Greyling and Gideon Byamugisha have encouraged language such as "The Body of Christ has AIDS" to signify that when one of us is infected, we all are, and that we need to address AIDS as a community issue -- not singling people out for blame.
In the last two years of my work with IMA World Health, I managed the organization's PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) treatment program. In theory, this should have gone well. FBOs have the reach, health facilities, relationships, and understanding of communities -- all of which should lead to a successful endeavor.
Indeed, the infrastructure afforded by the extensive networks of faith-based hospitals, clinics, and mobile units was a fantastic resource. Several of our partners were already successfully running treatment programs using generic drugs. At first the glut of resources and the prospect of being able to serve the hundreds of thousands in need of treatment was all very exhilarating. But those of us who were concerned about nuance came into conflict with the restrictions on reproductive health services, the inability to use generic drugs, and the "Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath," which restricts how organizations can use their funds to engage in speech or programs related to sex work. I found that many FBOs were not ready to buck the system on behalf of those they were supposed to serve. This strongly interfered with my ability to work, and I found myself in constant conflict. So, hundreds of thousands are receiving treatment through FBOs, and that's a good thing. But I put this on the cusp of the "What Hasn't Worked" section because I still ask, "At what cost?" and "Could we have done it better?"
What Hasn't Worked?
In their AIDS response, churches have clearly been constrained by judgment and dogma. Kay Warren of the Saddleback Church rightfully pointed out, "The Church is more known for what it is against than what it is for." A friend of mine, Dazon Dixon Diallo of SisterLove in Atlanta, once said she wants to make a bumper sticker that reads, "Jesus Please Come Back and Save Us from Your Followers!" The words of Martin Luther King Jr. are also very apt: "Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists."
On one hand there has been judgment regarding people with HIV and rhetoric around "the wages of sin equal death" and "you reap what you sow." At the 2008 Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance in Mexico City, one religious leader spoke of the condemnation and judgment she has faced since declaring her HIV status. There has also been stigma around certain high-risk populations, leading to damaging programs or outright neglect.
There are many examples of the influence of conservative Christian ideology and personalities on policy development. When PEPFAR was being designed, there were multiple forces influencing its policies, such as the Institute for Youth Development and the Children's AIDS Fund, which had an ideology rooted in conservative Christianity. This challenge to the separation of church and state should have been revealed early on and dealt with head on. Instead, it led to policies that didn't follow the scientific literature or the actual experience of gender inequality and other dynamics. Ideological polices masqueraded as evidence, like the Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath and the emphasis on HIV prevention through abstinence and fidelity to the exclusion of the proven effectiveness of condoms.
The gender inequality in many churches also permeates the societies where they are influential. This has played out in messages stating that being faithful is protection against HIV, when for many married women this is a death sentence. Both partners have to be HIV negative and monogamous for this to be effective. Yet people are offered simple messages without caveats. Church-based instruction on submission to one's husband has led women to stay in relationships with unfaithful husbands and to suffer violence at their hands. Often, churches do not offer guidance on the protection of women, focusing instead on the "sanctity of marriage" and "'til death do us part," regardless of the risk to the often powerless woman.
At the 2008 Ecumenical Pre-Conference in Mexico City, I appreciated the dialogue around gender, and specifically patriarchy, in the church. But there was no space in the program for the LGBT community and its issues -- unfortunate, given the early and continued epidemiology of HIV as well as the continued discrimination against LGBT people. How can there be an entire HIV conference without space for LGBT matters when we have had activists like Sizekele Sigasa and Salome Moosa, champions for HIV justice, who were murdered in South Africa in a vicious hate crime? When we have Solomon Adderly Wellington, a noted gay HIV activist in the Bahamas, murdered? When we have the President of the Gambia vowing to lop off the heads of gay people and criminalize any who offer safe harbor? When we have Steve Harvey, a gay HIV activist from the Jamaica Support Services slain in a country where there are more churches per capita than anywhere in the world? (Jamaica is my country of origin, yet I'm embarrassed to say that I would warn my gay friends about even visiting there, knowing that they risk life and limb due to homophobia.) And when we now have Uganda attempting to pass a law similar to that in Gambia, with the instigation of this legislation allegedly resting at the feet of certain U.S. evangelical churches.
Where are the voices of churches on these issues? Where is the high-profile public statement condemning such heinous hate crimes? Instead, there is much condemnation of same-sex relationships, and the intensity of Christian leaders' words, deeds, and attitudes seem to indicate that they are more concerned about these acts of love than acts of hate. One colleague spoke about being invited to dinner and learning mid-meal that his host was gay. He said, "There I was eating the food?." And this is a person who is in charge of HIV programs for his denomination! A participant in a workshop I facilitated stated that many in the church are only ready to embrace people who are "like us" by whatever notion of self-proclaimed sanctity "we" in the church define ourselves. My purpose here is not to sway those in the church who find a biblical basis to oppose homosexuality but rather to question their application of biblical principles. I ask them, what would Jesus do?
At Rick Warren's 2006 Saddleback Church conference an awkwardly titled session, "Loving Homosexuals as Jesus Would?" led to hopes that this evangelical leader was questioning attitudes toward LGBT people. Instead, it was a panel of speakers from the "ex-gay" movement, not a workshop offering guidance on how churches could be safe spaces that welcome all and uphold justice within a range of beliefs. They went beyond many churches in even holding such a workshop, but they need to take it further.
Does being known more for condemnation of individuals (and cozying up to big pharma and other questionable allies) instead of fighting for justice and human rights match the scene of Jesus in the temple overturning the tables of the money changers? Does it fit with the image of Jesus embracing and blessing a sex worker? His directive to her was to "go and sin no more." Repentance wasn't a precursor for his embrace. His championship of justice was not selective.
One of the conflicts I experienced in my work with the AIDS Relief Consortium was the need to include prevention programs with the treatment work we were doing, as it makes little sense to be doing treatment alone. That would be like trying to plug holes in a dam while more spring open. A group that was in charge of $330 million of AIDS funding was constrained in the prevention resources it could provide. The restrictions came from the ideologically driven PEPFAR guidelines, which mandate how much funding can be used for treatment and what emphasis must be placed on abstinence and fidelity. In addition, the organizational policies of Catholic Relief Services don't allow condom distribution or a full range of reproductive health services.
Many in the church refer to the AIDS pandemic as an "opportunity for evangelism." Ken Isaacs of Samaritan's Purse stated "AIDS has created an evangelism opportunity for the body of Christ unlike any in history." Community Health Evangelism offers a presentation entitled "HIV/AIDS in Asia: A Window of Opportunity for Community Health Evangelism." This is troubling on at least two levels. First, there's the notion that people could be celebrating such a dread disease -- as if it was sent so that they could save more souls. Second, the idea of "bread in one hand and the Bible in the other" could lead to the coercion of people who are in a vulnerable position.
There are critical roles for FBOs that contribute substantially to the well-being of communities, families, and individuals with HIV. Some FBOs have used their influence to advocate for needed policies, including debt cancellation and universal access to treatment. Religious groups have also used their reach in communities to ensure that there is a comprehensive web of support for people with HIV. I applaud these efforts and hope that these initiatives persist and multiply.
But FBOs should establish guiding principles so that everyone knows where each organization stands. I pushed for the establishment of such principles and values at the Pan African Christian AIDS Network. All were enthusiastically in favor. But when we completed the process, it included a clause saying, "Marriage should only be between a man and a woman." I decided then that it was time to bid adieu, as I am an uncompromisingly staunch ally of LGBT rights.
People within organizations should expose the underlying forces driving their agendas, and coalitions should be encouraged to offer up a statement of principles so that hidden biases can be revealed.
Advocacy conducted by FBOs should be based on principles of human rights. If this is the guideline, the automatic corresponding principle is "do no harm." The judgment-based advocacy that has resulted in such policies as the Anti-Prostitution Loyalty Oath and hateful anti-gay legislation such as that being discussed in Uganda that proposes the death penalty for loving persons of the same sex would not pass the "do no harm" test.
There is a role for abstinence in HIV prevention. It's possible to choose abstinence and it's good to have support in adhering to that choice. But doctrines and societal edicts are not enough if someone makes another choice or if people find themselves in situations where they have little or no choice. People who are in these circumstances need to know the options for keeping themselves as safe as possible.
Finally, let's reward FBOs that are doing good work, replicate those practices, and emphasize these positive models. There are churches that have articulated biblical bases for supporting women's rights and gay rights, and who promote a broad range of social justice issues. There are others who have devoted themselves to treatment, the care of orphans and vulnerable children, economic development, peace work, and hospice care through highly effective work. We need many more like them.

"New coaching staff after Oz series"
The Pakistan Cricket Board is planning to have a new coaching staff in place at the end of the ongoing one-day series Down Under.
Livid with the national team's so far disastrous show in Australia, PCB chairman Ejaz Butt said he was looking for a new coaching staff for the national team.
"Coaching is a very difficult job so I don't want to comment on it but yes we are looking at options to hire batting and fielding coaches foreign or local for the national team," he told a press conference in Lahore.
"The problem is no foreign coach is willing to come to Pakistan in present security conditions and a local coach appears to be a more feasible prospect," Butt said.
Pakistan, after being blanked 0-3 in the Test series, lost the first one-dayer against Australia in Brisbane on Friday. Chief coach Intikhab Alam and captain Mohammad Yousuf have been heavily criticised for their failure to bring about any improvements in the team.
Intikhab had replaced Australian Geoff Lawson as coach in October 2008 after the Australian fell out with Butt and was told to resign and return home.
Pakistan in the past has also hired other foreign coaches including the late Bob Woolmer, who had a three and a half year stint with the team, and Richard Pybus, who twice worked as coach between 2000 and 2003.

|This page refers to a draft policy which is still to be agreed and implemented. Please take it as a reference for a work in progress project.
These tutorials are aimed to get people started with KDE's policy for merging and integrating changes into the repositories.
Such policies vary depending on the developer's role inside the project. Please follow the tutorial which best suits your role and profile
Also, for your knowledge, you should check out these specific articles:
Some KDE Components have adopted an integration-staging-origin policy for pushing features into KDE's repositories. This document is designed to get developers started with this workflow and understand the steps involved.
The following repositories/projects follow these guidelines. Any project not mentioned here is unaffected by what described
The requirements of the KDE community that this workflow aims to meet include the following items. The final workflow may not meet all of the requirements with 100% perfection and there may be some need for compromise on some points as we develop the workflow further. However, these are points of value to the KDE community which need to be addressed by the proposed git workflow:
This approach is meant to implement proper quality evaluation into the main repositories, still allowing developers to work on anything they want, and providing a sane merging strategy which does not require any specific knowledge from the developer's side.
This is achieved by using two separate repositories. One is origin, the official project repository, where just maintainers are allowed to push, apart from special cases. The other is integration, where work in progress happens, and everyone can create branches and work on that.
There are two separate figures: developers and maintainers. Developers are people who want to work on features on a specific repositories, maintainers are the gatekeepers for those repositories. Please note the purpose of the maintainer is purely organizational: no special power over technical decision is given to maintainers.
A developer would provide his code into a remote branch in integration: as soon as this code is ready and reviewed, the maintainer would take care of merging into integration/master first, prepare for staging in integration/staging, and finally merge into master when needed.
In the following steps, we will assume your system is set up as shown in the git.kde.org user manual, especially regarding automatic URL rewriting for KDE repositories enabled.
In the following tutorial, we'll refer to kdelibs as the main target, but this applies to any other repository using this policy.
To clone the repository, issue
git clone kde:kdelibs
This will create a kdelibs directory containing the whole repository. You now need to add a separate remote for handling integration. A remote is a repository URL, and your local clone can contain multiple repositories to track different branches. To add kdelibs' integration repository, issue inside kdelibs' clone:
git remote add integration kde:clones/kdelibs/dafre/kdelibs-integration
Now, fetch from integration to retrieve the changes:
git fetch integration
|When working with multiple remotes, you can issue git fetch --all to update all the remotes tracked by your local copy
You now need to get your branches set up, in particular integration/master. In this example, we are creating a new branch named integration-master which would serve for this purpose in particular:
git checkout -b integration-master integration/master
This command creates a local branch set to track a remote one. This branch should be the branch you'll be basing your work upon: origin/master is not meant for development!
It is strongly advised to push your work to integration, but under some circumstances (your work is extremely big in size, you do not have a KDE Development account, etc.), it is allowed to push your branches to a separate personal clone. All work should end up into integration for being reviewed anyway.
We'll now walk through the process needed to develop a new feature. We'll suppose you want to add a button which says "hello" to a specific part of code.
First thing to do is creating a new branch on which to base your work on. This branch must be based upon integration/master. To make sure this happens, start by issuing
git checkout integration-master
Now create your branch. Give it a self-explainatory name: try to keep branches as atomic as possible, and possibly split big changes throughout multiple branches divided as per topic. In our case, we want to name our branch add-hello-button. To do that, we do:
git checkout -b add-hello-button
That will create our personal branch which is going to contain our work. Push your branch to integration by issuing
git push integration add-hello-button
Once you are done with your changes, you are ready to get your branch reviewed. This involves three easy steps:
It is important to have your branch rebased to be ready for review. Rebasing puts your commits on top of anything else of the branch you are rebasing on, including the changes from that branch. You of course want to rebase onto integration/master. To do that, issue
git rebase integration/master
Be sure to fetch before doing that. At this stage, conflicts might occur: be sure to fix them and commit/push the result. You will be required to force push at this stage.
|Rebasing must be done at this stage only: please avoid rebasing before getting reviewed or after getting reviewed if not strictly necessary
If you have a KDE developer account, simply
git push integration add-hello-button
from within your add-hello-button branch. If you do not have one, please have your mentor push your branch for you.
Use Reviewboard for getting your branch reviewed. You can read KDE Reviewboard+Git tutorial for getting started.
After your branch has been reviewed and marked as "Ship it!" at least by one of the maintainers of the code you are adding features to, your branch is ready for integration and staging. Your reviewer will inform one of the repository's maintainers of that.
Your work is done at this stage: the maintainer will integrate and stage your branch for you, and will merge it into origin according to the project's merging policy. You will be CCMailed upon every separate step your branch will take on its way to origin/master

The National Portrait Gallery History of the Kings and Queens of England
National Portrait Gallery, 1998 - Art - 176 pages
Starting with Celtic Britain before the Roman invasion, David Williamson takes us through the establishment of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the coming of Christianity and unification of England, to the Norman Conquest in 1066. The subsequent dynastic struggles of Angevins and Plantagenets heralded the great age of English kingship, under the Tudors and Stuarts - a period as compelling as any in the country's history - before the Hanoverians ushered in the modern age and the royalty of today.
The author draws on his deep knowledge of history to paint a vivid and sensitive portrait of each monarch, dealing afresh with the controversies that surround them. His text is enlivened with anecdotes and complemented by a rich selection of images, largely chosen from the wealth of the National Portrait Gallery's collections, and by clear family trees.

Lightning protection can be a critical part of any building's infrastructure, providing protection to people and property. When assessing a particular client's degree of risk on a given project, it's important to realize that certain lightning protection risk analyses are more complicated than others. Before making a recommendation, you must determine if lightning protection is even required in the first place. To do so, an understanding of the basics is in order.
The purpose of a lightning protection system for a commercial building is to provide a path for the lightning strike to pass through without damaging non-conductive parts of the building. A lightning protection system is a method of controlling a lightning strike via a low-resistance path for the strike to flow. These systems do not prevent a lightning strike from occurring. The main components of a lightning protection system are air terminals, down conductors, and ground rods.
There are two main methods of providing a lightning protection risk analysis based on the 1997 edition of NFPA 780 or the 2000 edition of NFPA 780. (Note: Although the 2004 version of NFPA 780 is available, the calculation methods in this version are the same as in the 2000 version of the standard.) The 1997 edition requires you to look at lightning frequency levels and the number of lightning storm days in the construction area. The 2000 edition of NFPA 780 requires you to base your design on a Lightning Strike Frequency value (Nd), which is essentially the yearly strike frequency based on the average flash density, the collective area, and an environmental coefficient, and a Tolerable Lightning Frequency value (Nc), which is a measure of the damage threat to the structure.
When developing a preliminary lightning protection analysis, it's best to present clients with both versions. As a lightning protection system is always optional, providing both studies allows the client to determine risk, insurance levels, UL certification requirements, and internal standards compliance based on the most comprehensive information available.
A dual approach
The 1997 version of NFPA 780 requires you to calculate the risk of lightning damage on six different criteria.
Type of structure: Select one type of construction from a list of 15 different construction types, which vary from residential, office, and factory structures to public utility buildings, municipal buildings, libraries, and museums.
Type of construction: Select the construction type of both the framework and the roof of the building.
Relative exposure: Identify the location as an urban or suburban area based on the size of the covering area. Additionally, a selection can be made in the "other structures" category if the first two categories do not apply.
Topography: Select either flat land, hillside, hill top, or mountain top location.
Occupancy: Select the occupancy type from a list of 12 possible selections.
Lightning frequency: A map of the United States is shown in Fig. 1, illustrating the incident number of thunderstorm days in various areas (i.e., days in which thunderstorms are observed). Select the area of the country and the associated days of thunderstorms per year for your given project.
The 2000 edition of NFPA 780 bases a lightning threat on a number of criterion, including:
Height, length, and width of the structure.
Approximate location of the building within the country.
Environmental coefficient.
Building and roof structural material.
Structural content coefficient.
Occupancy coefficient.
Lightning consequence coefficient.
As the electrical designer on the project, you must work hand in hand with the structural engineer and/or project architect to understand all areas of the structure being built. This will allow you to properly evaluate the lightning threat from the design criteria noted above.
The approximate location of the structure within the United States is an important factor in determining the risk analysis for a building. The 2000 edition of NFPA 780 includes a map of the United States illustrated with colors representing the average lightning flash density in flashes per kilometer squared per year. You simply choose the flash density for the specific area in the country the project is located. It also provides a process to calculate the Nd and Nc values.
If the Lightning Strike Frequency value is larger than the Tolerable Lightning Frequency value (i.e., Nd > Nc), then it is recommended that a lightning protection system be integrated into the project. If Nd turns out to be significantly higher than Nc, the actual threat would be greater than if the value of Nd was only a little bit larger than Nc.
It is important to note that the 1997 version of NFPA 780 uses the criteria of days in which lightning strikes are observed, and the 2000 version looks at the actual yearly strike frequency based on the average flash density, the collective area, and an environmental coefficient.
If you want to comply with NFPA 780 for insurance purposes and a UL-certified or Master Labeled certified lightning protection system is desired, you need to determine which version of NFPA 780 will be followed by the UL inspector and authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The 2004 version of NFPA 780 has been published, but the calculation methods are the same as the 2000 version.
For more specific direction on conducting lightning protection analysis, let's examine the following two scenarios for more guidance.
Ask the experts
The examples below illustrate situations where additional analysis is required to determine if all parts of adjoining structures required lightning protection.
Example No. 1
Q. What happens in a situation where you have two buildings — a hospital and a parking structure, for instance — that are adjoined and separated by a firewall and the NFPA-based lightning protection analysis indicates lightning protection is required in the hospital but not the parking structure?
A. If the risk analysis indicates that lightning protection is required and a lightning protection system is installed in the hospital building, you may also want to consider installation of the lightning protection system on the parking structure. Why? UL will only certify a building if all portions of that building are protected from a lightning strike. This will also prevent the hospital building from receiving UL Master Label certification. However, if there is a firewall separating the two structures, UL can issue a "Letter of Findings," which will state (after an on-site inspection) the installed system at the hospital building meets all code requirements, but because it is attached to an unprotected structure it cannot receive the Master Label designation.
Example No. 2
Q. What about a sky bridge that connects two protected buildings? Will it need protection?
A. Let's take a situation where you have a 30-foot to 50-foot sky bridge between a hospital building and a medical office building. Additionally, the top of the sky bridge is located 40 feet above grade. The hospital and medical office building are both eight stories tall. NFPA 780 defines the "rolling ball" theory to determine if the sky bridges are in the "zone of protection" from the other buildings (Fig. 2). Based on this analysis, the sky bridge probably does not need to be protected. However, this risk assessment should be used as a guide only. The final determination of the requirement for a lightning protection system should be made by the owner.
Making the call
The option to install a lightning protection system is a critical decision for the purposes of life safety, protection of property, insurance costs, and installation expense, and should be performed based on the NFPA 780 "Risk Analysis" guidelines. Armed with the right tools and an understanding of NFPA 780, the electrical engineer can provide a critical evaluation of the potential risks. This evaluation can help the building owner make the right decision for his project.
For complex and critical projects, the potential cost of downtime can be very expensive and can even have life safety ramifications. For these types of projects, it's in your — and your client's — best interest to employ the services of a lightning protection institute (LPI)-certified designer/inspector to perform or validate your lightning protection analysis. An LPI-certified designer/inspector has the training and the expertise to provide appropriate recommendation for even the most complex projects.

Dick Morris: I've Stopped "Dumping On" Romney Because I Might Have To Help Him Defeat Obama
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
Fox News "political analyst" Dick Morris admitted today that he's stopped criticizing Mitt Romney because the former Massachusetts governor might be the Republican nominee for president and "I don't want to make my own task [of defeating Obama] harder." Listen:
MIKE GALLAGHER (HOST): I found myself sort of -- and you're in a different capacity. I mean, you're paid to look at the pros and cons of everybody. I want anybody but Obama. I just want Obama defeated in November. I just want him gone. And so my position as a talk show host is whoever the Republicans prop up, that's who I'm going to enthusiastically support.
MORRIS: I agree so much with that, Mike. I decided a couple of -- a month or two ago to stop dumping on Mitt Romney, for example --
GALLAGHER: Yeah, me too, me too.
MORRIS: Not because I approve of Romneycare, not because I approve of his flip-flops, flip on abortion, but because I may have to be one of those who carries this guy for a couple of months when he's running against Obama and I don't want to make my own task harder. [Salem Radio, The Mike Gallagher Show, 6/13/11]
Morris has previously been very critical of Romney, explaining to Sean Hannity on February 28: "I do not like Romney. It's the only one that I really attack ... I want to be sure that the new president will repeal Obamacare. And since he enacted the equivalent of Obamacare in Massachusetts, they call it Romneycare, and I talk about how disastrous it's been, I can't trust him on that."
On March 2, Morris told Bill O'Reilly that Romney couldn't win the nomination because of "Romneycare": "In terms of Romney, it's not an Achilles heel, it's an Achilles body. There is no way this guy is going to get nominated with him having passed the equivalent of Obamacare."
And in October 2010, Morris said at a tea party gathering that he was "opposed to Mitt Romney" after "I got educated on health care, and I saw how horrible that bill that he signed is working in Massachusetts, [inaudible] is doubled, and now it's like a four month wait to see an internist in Boston. It used to be six days."
More recently, Morris -- as promised -- appears to have dialed down his criticism. On June 8, Morris told O'Reilly: "I was at the Faith and Freedom Coalition last week. I have a video on my Web site about it and I heard them all speak. Romney is Reaganesque, absolutely incredible."
Earlier that day, Morris appeared on Fox & Friends and said that Romney was "very, very impressive at this convention. He was presidential. He reminded me a little bit of Reagan." Morris added he didn't like Romney's "position on healthcare in Massachusetts" and his "flip-flopping over abortion but boy, he sure put that away with a fantastic speech at this convention." Morris concluded that "I was kind of saying, 'This is a guy that could take Obama.' ... I came away very impressed with Romney."
The topper came when Gretchen Carlson asked Morris if any of the candidates had contacted him to seek his help.
"A few have, but I'm not doing that this year because I want to be impartial in my commentary," Morris said.

Making radical changes to the cost structure.
Amid an austere budget environment, many government agencies are looking for pragmatic strategies and proven approaches to assess their fundamental cost structure, realize rapid cost reduction without reducing service quality, enable lasting operational transformation and set the stage for strategic cost reduction to achieve longer term objectives.
While getting the cost equation right can be overwhelming for governments in countries reeling from the global economic crisis and the new normal that has resulted, there are excellent opportunities to make inroads in this area. Cost reduction does not have to be an all or nothing proposition. In other words, radical changes in cost structure do not have to mean radical changes in program quality.
Planning for the best of both worlds—lower costs and service quality sustained over time—requires new ways of thinking and working. It means more than identifying opportunities for more efficient processes and operations. Instead, it means acting on those opportunities rapidly and reinvesting cost savings into critical programs and operations.
Transforming cost structures also requires approaches that free resources for more value-added activities so they can manage the dual challenge of rising demand and budget restrictions with renewed tools and confidence.
Delivering Public Service for the Future
The foundation of our work with government agencies rests in our understanding and exploration of the issues that public service agencies care the most about—along with the issues and trends that will affect their work tomorrow.

- About Company
quality is nowadays a strategic, multidisciplinary factor on which the real competitiveness of a company depends, within the current market environment. but quality continues to deal mainly with a well made product and in this sense it is a dimensional, tangible, measurable concept. at trimek we are aware of that. because we have been offering advanced solutions to metrology for over fifteen years. for fifteen years we have been involved in the construction of equipment and systems devoted to dimensional control. trimek is sited in the industrial state of altube near vitoria. it is a strategic point essential for ground communications in southern europe and northern spain. this strategic position provides a fast, efficient dispatching service of our products to any point in the peninsula, to europe and to any other place in the world through the port of bilbao. besides, the huge industrial and technological infrastructure in the region enables the provisioning of any elements and materials that may be needed for the manufacturing of our trimek equipment. this is the engineering department. here all trimek machinery and equipment is laid out by computer aided design and computer aided manufacturing (cad-cam). varieties of machine tools ranging from the new reproduction models to the detailed itemised design of made-to-measure equipment and machinery. in the trial and demonstration room trimek prototypes and pilot equipment are tested. the customer is given a chance here to contrast on the spot all those possibilities and solutions that can be put forward. the whole integration of resources and capabilities, within the customer reach, will provide a high level of synergy for technological creativity and will produce very successful results. a good instance for this assertion may be the application of pneumatic systems to guides, such innovation has been introduced by trimek and has currently been recognised and adopted by other companies in the sector. the equipment is mounted in the production pavilions. all through the production process, the strict compliance with the dispatching requirements is controlled and verified at trimek. at this stage software components play a key role. far from the typical approach that relates a building trade name with a single software possibility, at trimek we work with 8 firms specialised in software measurement. thus, we are in a position to offer a wider range of possibilities by standing better chances of adapting ourselves to the customer service that we provide. this has an impact on those systems made-to-measure for the customer and it also redounds to more competitive prices. however, these qualities are always dealt from the idea of an open architecture and platform. that is to say, trimek equipment enable their progressive extension, mechanisation... and definitely a parallel performance to the needs of our customer, your own needs.

In sad commemoration of the Oklahoma City Thunder reaching the NBA's Western Conference Finals, here's some alternate history of what might have happened had Referendum 48 failed to pass in June 1997- Followed by Paul Allen letting his option to buy the franchise lapse, and a swift move to the L.A. Coliseum for the 1997 season... No matter how ugly or long this lockout might get, we still have our Seahawks, and that's something, right? Enjoy?
Associated Press, January 14, 2001
The City of Angels is abuzz with talk of a possible trip to the Super Bowl for the L.A. Blackhawks, who host the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game today in the final NFL game to be played at the L.A. Coliseum. It's a different story in Seattle, where fans of the former Seahawks have to watch from afar while their former team reaches for championship glory.
The tale is told this way in the Pacific Northwest: Californian Ken Behring bought the Seattle franchise in 1988, and after almost a decade of sub-par football and mismanagement, he used falling ceiling tiles in the Seattle Kingdome as an excuse to attempt to move the team to California- Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen agreed to buy the team in 1996, but only if a new stadium was built for the team. After a public vote on a new stadium failed by less than one percent of the vote, Allen voided his option and Behring quickly moved the team to Los Angeles and rechristened them the "Blackhawks."
L.A. fans saw the Coliseum's new tenants get off to a dreadful start, finishing 2-14 in their tumultuous inaugural season, punctuated by Cortez Kennedy's holdout (based on the claim he signed a contract to play with the SEATTLE Seahawks) and eventual trade to the Dolphins. However, that performance put them in position to draft All-Pro QB Peyton Manning with the #1 pick in the 1998 NFL draft. In January 1999, Green Bay Packers coach Mike Holmgren was lured to L.A. by millions of dollars and the promise of total command of the Blackhawks' football operation. After a 9-7 campaign ending in a Wild Card loss to Miami last season, L.A. now finds itself one win away from a trip to Super Bowl XXXV in Tampa.
A crowd of well over 90,000 fans is expected today for the Coliseum's final NFL game (the Blackhawks move into the 70,000 seat Behring Stadium at City of Industry next fall), many of them still delirious after L.A.'s dramatic Divisional Playoff overtime win over the Coliseum's former tenants: The Oakland Raiders. After a brief absence, L.A. is a football town once again, embracing young stars like Manning, left tackle Walter Jones, and rookie running back Shaun Alexander.
In Seattle there is little goodwill towards the former Seahawks- Most former Seahawk fans actually rooted for THE RAIDERS last week, by all accounts. On the streets of Seattle, attention has turned to the NBA's Sonics and baseball's Mariners (who just moved into their own new stadium, despite losing a public vote much like the Seahawks did). Efforts to lure an existing or expansion franchise to Seattle seem stillborn without a new stadium, so it appears that the Seahawks' 20 seasons in Seattle are destined to be an NFL footnote (beyond the career of Seattle's lone Hall-of-Famer, Wide Receiver Steve Largent).
Los Angeles is on the verge of seeing an NFL team reach the Super Bowl for the 3rd time, something that will likely never happen for NFL fans in Seattle.

Wow that was a horrifically depressing read! Kinda ripped my heart out there.
Aside from the terrible emotions it conjured, the post was very well written, interesting, and entertaining (if one is a horror fan like I am).
Thanks for again putting into perspective what Paul Allen did for this city!

Last year I worked on the cover illustration & lettering for the reissue of Jane Bowles' 1943 novel, Two Serious Ladies. Jane Bowles was a New York City writer, and this is her only novel. I liked reading John Waters' take on this book here, and I feel lucky to be a part of something that was important to other New Yorkers decades before I was born and arrived in this city.
Many many thanks to AD Allison Saltzman at HarperCollins Ecco :D

Secrets to Cisco's Continued Growth in Asia Pacific
Previously I wrote about how we'd won the "Best Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Product" award with the Cisco ASR 9000 System at Carrier Ethernet World Congress in Amsterdam. This momentum continues on the other side of the globe where Alex Zinin, our Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific theatre recently accepted several awards at the annual Telecom Asia Readers Choice Awards 2011:
- Core Network Vendor of the Year
- Metro Network Vendor of the Year
- Carrier Ethernet Vendor of the Year
In addition to the Reader's Choice achievement, the ASR 9000 won a second "Best Carrier Ethernet Aggregation Product" from the APAC Carrier Ethernet Awards. Now deployed in over 900 customers worldwide, this was another endorsement of our Carrier Ethernet strategy and the cost benefits associated with Cisco Network Virtualization (nV) technology.
These wins are a testament to how Cisco's technology and innovations, industry positioning, and ability to capture market direction have been instrumental in our success across the network. Furthermore, they show how our emphasis on architectures, not point products, is what's helping our service provider partners be more profitable, manage their cost basis, and help them to grow and monetize their networks.
Listen to Alex as he shares some of our secrets to our continued growth and challenges we face in 2012.
A huge thank you to all of our customers who have made 2011 such a great success. We look forward to working with you in the New Year.

text: There is a general idea that cosmetic surgery procedures are used just to improve ones looks. Cosmetic surgery also has a side that isnt frequently considered. While many people do actually use cosmetic surgery to look better, others do it to improve their health and to help their bodies feel better. A few examples would be the correction of physical defects with which a person was born. Some people want to have reconstructive surgeries after being healed of breast or skin cancer. Cosmetic surgery is not just about being gorgeous, but also about having a better quality of life for yourself.

The Very Best Descriptions of Self-Published Books
Even if you are a famous author published by a top publishing house and celebrated in rarefied literary circles, you will never write anything better than the description of a self-published author's book.
There are many more aspiring authors than there are book publishers. There are also many more aspiring authors than good authors. This is where the self-publishing industry comes in.
There are certainly unsung writers without connections to the inbred "literary" world for whom self-publishing offers a valuable method for circumventing a closed and elite system. There is a much larger number of people who "always thought they had a book in 'em" for whom the self-publishing industry offers a way to spend some money and receive a book which no one will read. We support this, as America is a free country.
Some believe that most self-published books are garbage. Perhaps. But the blurbs for self-published books, written by the authors themselves and posted on the Xlibris online bookstore in order to attract readers, are absolutely golden. You'll find no better reading material in this world. Some of the very best are below.
Accidentally Poetic, By Melinda Farrar-Wilkinson
ACCIDENTALLY POETIC is a collection of poems written from my everyday life. I called it accidentally poetic, because I kind of accidentally became a poet. My work is quite "Aussie" and I write like I talk. That is what makes my work fun to read and listen to. There are many that end with a nice little twist that I bet you never seen coming...
Historical Fiction
World War III Blues, By J.F. Donahue
Is it possible for one man to save a country with just the words he had written? What if this man were actually a prophet and his songs had meaning far beyond that which he had originally intended? Bob Dylan finds himself exploring these questions after an unexpected disaster has left much of the United States underwater and bitter political philosophies have forced the survivors into a Civil War. He is now one of these survivors and the Legend discovers that he may possess the only secret that can truly bring peace and reunite America.
The Engrafted Word of God, By PJ Minchew
Search the Scriptures for data upon data. But, before you search for data upon data, search the Scriptures for Scripture upon Scripture. But, before you search Scripture upon Scripture, search the Scriptures for rib upon rib. Search the Scriptures: For in them ye think ye have eternal life: And they are they which testify of me. (John 5:39) For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, and he was reckoned among the transgressors: For the things concerning me have an end. (Luke 22:37) Then opened he their understanding, That they might understand the Scriptures. (Luke 24:45) Cover design: BF Ames
From Horse and Carts to Sputniks, By Phillip J. Noonan
I was born in Cobar, on 12 June 1939, and left there when I was only two weeks old. I think my mother and I went to Winbar Station where my father was breaking in brumbies for saddle stock horses, for the station hands on the property, to use for mustering. My father's name was John Bernard Noonan (he was known as Jack), and my mother's name was Laura; her maiden name was Blacker (in her later years, my mother became known as Lorna).
The Good Old Days, By Harold Flagg
In 1999, I flew from Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Japan for $28.39 round-trip. Previously, a round-trip from Fort Lauderdale to Turkey cost me $17 and change. On the Turkish flight, a computer glitch wiped out my documentation shortly after I landed in Frankfurt, Germany. To compensate, Delta Air Lines upgraded me to BusinessElite class, featuring free champagne and choice of filet mignon or salmon steak served on a cozy table set with sparkling crystal and the finest silver and china. Most of my caviar lifestyle on a tuna budget has been based on United States Social Security and Bahamas National Insurance payments, having worked many years in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. What's the catch? Basically, it was playing the discount-fare and frequent-flier game to the Nth degree, N as in nothing, in many cases. My best free junkets in senior-friendly skies came via Delta Air Lines frequent flier mileage. My Delta SkyMiles were tallied by such senior-citizen bargains as a Fort Lauderdale- Hawai'i round-trip ticket for as little as $440. That alone added some 10,000 FF miles to my account. Signing for a Delta SkyMiles credit card netted 10,000 miles; a switch to MCI telephone service scored another 5,000 or so. An MCI WorldCom/SkyMiles long-distance card is good for five 10 HAROLD FLAGG miles per dollar spent. There is at least one case where a "motormouth" literally talked his way into a free trip! Investors can rack up major mileage via Delta
Marilyn Monroe Her Shoe and Me By Howard G. Allen
Basically this book is about the week that I spent with Marilyn Monroe and Arthur Miller at their apartment in New York City on East Fifty Seventh Street back in 1960 when I was a young wide eyed aspiring actor of twenty. Marilyn showed me the whole city; took me everywhere. It was and still is the most exciting week that I have ever spent with anyone. Then she revealed something to me that she had never revealed to another single soul. This book is about that week, what she revealed to me and the results of the secret that she revealed to me back fifty years ago.
Cloud Dusting is a unique true story of my personal journey from ordinary beginnings to a very spiritual awakening. Many lessons learnt and many rescues accomplished. There are some funny stories and light entertainment. Some content will shock and surprise you some of it will keep you awake at night. With an added bonus of photos of spirit which are very rare especially the photo of Spirit Divine, I believe this to be the only photo in the world.
Political Science
A Voter's Journey, By Bill Lewers
A few years ago, I published a book titled Six Decades of Baseball: A Personal Narrative, which described my lifelong passion for baseball, written purely from the perspective of a baseball fan with no inside knowledge of the game. A Voter's Journey sets out to do the same thing, only this time with politics. I hope that the telling of my story will encourage the reader to reflect upon his or her own lifelong political journey. For in a society like ours, saturated with politics and elections, each one of us, whether we are politically inclined or not, makes a political journey of some kind or another. This is the story of mine.
Ideas That May Change Your Life, By Martha Marino
IDEAS If you are glued to a certain idea, it prevents you from seeing the present as it is. Ex. If you have to look happy all the time, you can't address the situation logically or accurately. Ideas may be wrong. What you think is important may not be. Ex. I thought my wisteria vine was dead and it was more beautiful than ever this year because of the rain. Ex. I felt sad that I did not sweep my patio before my guests arrived, but they didn't go there anyway. Ideas are often slippery. You have to grab them before they disappear.
The Clueless Dead, By Keith Greenwood
The Clueless Dead is written as a vampire story from the male perspective and to counter a large number of annoying themes that have become prevalent in several works of vampire fiction. My character is an ordinary guy, a professional musician (but not a rockstar). He is transformed into a vampire as a result of a series of coincidences. He then must deal with the consequences of having vampire powers as well as the temptations involved in possessing the ability to mentally manipulate people, besides the spiritual quandary of being a vampire and a Christian.
Young Adult
The Fourth Friday Night, By William Brian
Alistor was like any regular kid. He loved playing with his friends. He loved Friday night wrestling. It sounds so simple. So how did it go so wrong? Gorilla's are on the loose? Fourth on the run from a Deputy? How could his sister, Megan, let this happen? What happens when all of the earlier questions are answered will help you remember the crazy fun and adventure of "the fourth Friday night!"
Aunt Elois and the Death of a President, By Elizabeth O'Mara Anderson
My great aunt Elois usually didn't wear her glasses, and she was not wearing them that day in Dealey Plaza. For reading her Bible, she always used a magnifying glass, and she called it her "spy glass." She searched every day in her Bible for new scriptures to put into practice. Aunt Elois had her own car to drive, even in the 1950's.
Maxine worked as a volunteer at a local hospital gift shop. She always remembered her many relatives with beautiful cards and thoughtful gifts. Maxine's father, Judge William Carey Graves, was a former Texas State Senator. He was a wonderful story teller and loved to smoke his special pipe. His huge collection of "National Geographic" magazines was started in the year 1911.
ROXANNE of Dark Energy, By Dean Marquis
In the US Army's, Field Manual of Electronic Warfare in Operations (FM 3-36), it states that: Hardware is described as Computers, Relay Stations, Circuits, Radios, Scanners and other things of their ilk. Software is described as the Programs used to Direct the Operations of the Hardware, to function within a command control system. Wetware is described as the Personnel that operate or maintain the Command Control System. It doesn't say why the Pentagon gave Wetware the name it is. I can only use my imagination and assume that Wetware is what happens when People have Anti-Radiation Missiles shot at them. The other fact is that the Human Body is 98 % water. Only the Pentagon could coin a phrase with such an innocent content but has such devastating effect. In Today's Internet Based Environment it rings with a larger intent. It also assumes that Hardware is easier to replace then Wetware. It is also along this same vein, that Roxanne of Dark Energy has been constructed.

In this ongoing series, we ask executives, entrepreneurs and business leaders about mistakes that have shaped their business philosophy.
Denise White
In the 19 years since she founded EAG Sports Management, San Diego native Denise White has taken the company from an initial concept with a couple of clients to a big player in the industry with an impressive list of high-profile athletes on its roster. The El Segundo, Calif.-based company handles clients' PR, marketing, personal and business needs. Fox 2000 Pictures is currently producing a film about White's life, starring Jennifer Aniston.
The Mistake:
Being too trusting.
More than 10 years ago, I hired a woman who had no experience; I wanted to promote and elevate women in the business, so I decided to take her under my wing and teach her everything I knew. She started doing really well.
Later, I found out through a third party that she was planning on leaving me. And that wouldn't have been a problem ... if she weren't also trying to steal my clients. I was devastated, because I felt like I had given her everything she needed to succeed in a male-dominated industry, and she had betrayed my trust.
I had to let her go, and it was not a good breakup. I bawled a lot because I viewed her as a friend, and was upset that she would do something like that to someone who had worked so hard to help her out.
Almost immediately after that happened, I knew what I had done wrong: Rather than an employer, I was a friend who employed.
As an employer, there's a big difference between being friendly and being a friend.
The Lesson:
After that experience, I was more careful about the kinds of information I was willing to share with employees, both personally and professionally.
It's hard because, as a woman, you are taught to be nice, giving and trusting. But in business – especially in my industry – trust is something that is earned, and not given. I made the mistake of giving it away, and it wasn't the only time I did it. I had another employee who was dealing with a personal issue, but because we were friends, I had overlooked the fact that she still had a job to do. It hurt the company.
When you become too much of a friend, the lines between your personal and professional life get blurry, and you might then start burying your head in the sand when problems arise because you are too emotionally involved. That doesn't mean I'm a Scrooge; I love my employees and the work they do. But I'm not going to hang out with them at a bar on a Friday night, because I don't want it to feel like I'm not their employer.

Face.com Fixes Facebook Hijacking Flaw in KLIK Mobile App
Face.com has updated its mobile app KLIK after a security researcher discovered the app could be used to hijack Facebook and Twitter accounts.
The KLIK camera app uses facial recognition technology to tag friends' faces. However, a vulnerability in the app allowed attackers access to KLIK users' Facebook and Twitter accounts, Akash Soltani, a privacy and security researcher, wrote in a blog post Wednesday. Attackers could access non-public photos and other potentially private data, such as friends lists and tweets, as well as post status updates and Tweets as that user, Soltani said.
The vulnerability was related to the fact that Face.com was storing Facebook and Twitter's OAUTH authorization tokens in a way that anyone could query the details for any KLIK user without restriction, Soltani said. OAUTH is an open standard for authorization which allows users to share their information stored on one site with another site.
"The above attack not only allows access to non-public photos, but also lets the attacker potentially manipulate the Face.com app to automatically 'recognize' anyone walking down the street (i.e just hijack Lady Gaga's and get her ~11 million friends' 'face prints')," Soltani wrote.
The privacy concerns were "significant," according to Soltani.
How It Happened
Users who had signed up for KLIK could link their accounts to Facebook, which meant their user tokens had been saved on Face.com servers. If the user had linked their Twitter account to the KLIK app so that the app could tweet their photos, then the Twitter tokens were also stored on the Face.com servers. An attacker could make an API call to Face.com servers to receive the user token for any user that was using KLIK and had linked either their Facebook or Twitter accounts to the service. With the user token in hand, the attacker could hijack those accounts.
"Since KLIK relies on Facebook Connect, that means anyone that has used the app was vulnerable," Soltani wrote. He waited until Face.com had fixed the problem before disclosing the issue, which happened to be on the same day the company announced it had been acquired by Facebook. Rumors have pegged the deal price as anywhere between $50 million and $100 million.
Check Your Apps
While the flaw in KLIK has been patched, users should still be aware. Anytime you grant an outside app permission to access your accounts on other sites, whether it's Facebook, Google or Twitter, there is some chance your data will be exposed.
Review which apps you have given permissions to, and if there are any you no longer use, revoke those permissions immediately. I personally like using MyPermissions.org to quickly check what applications have access to my social media accounts.
