7. Will the Common Core impact homeschools and private schools?
For now, the Common Core applies only to public schools in the 45 states that have adopted it. Federal law, under 20 U.S.C. § 7886, prohibits any federal education mandates from applying to private schools that do not receive federal funds or homeschools.
However, there is no such protection for families who have enrolled their children in programs that receive federal funds, especially those who are using virtual charter schools that are run through the local public school for their home education.
Though the specific provisions of the Common Core only directly bind public schools, it is reasonably predictable that private schools that accept federal funding (through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, for example) may face a decision between foregoing federal funding and accepting the Common Core standards in the near future. Moreover, President Obama intends to condition funding from Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act on states' agreement to follow common standards "developed by a state-led consortium."1 There is no reason to expect that private schools who receive Title I funding would not have to agree to this mandate.
The current impact of the Common Core on home and private education is revealed in the expanding state longitudinal databases, shifting college admissions expectations, newly updated curricula, and revised standardized tests. All these are fulfilling education historian Diane Ravitch's prediction that "no one will escape [the Common Core's] reach, whether they attend public or private school."2

Perhaps the most immediate threat to homeschool and private school students is the expansion of statewide longitudinal databases. The designers of the new systems fully intend for homeschool and private school students to be part of the massive data collection. At the National Conference on Student Assessment in 2011, officials from Oklahoma explained to CCSSO how the challenge of meeting the data requirements of federal and state education policies are motivating them to "Include student groups not now included (e.g., home-schooled) in the data system."3
In light of the growing revelations that the government is engaging in massive invasion of privacy in spheres other than education, it is utterly impossible to believe that these databases will not be mined and misused to serve the ulterior purposes of a centralized government intent on growing its own power. For more information on the growing possibility of a national database, please see http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/2013/201309100.asp.
Apart from the databases, we fear that the Common Core will eventually impact homeschool and private school students by affecting college admissions standards. Institutions of higher education are being pressured to adapt their standards for college readiness to the Common Core standards. The National Governors Association, instrumental in writing the Common Core, compiled a guide for states to use while implementing the Common Core. The document emphasizes that the Common Core standards for college readiness will be used by institutions of higher learning to determine whether a student is ready to enroll in a postsecondary course.4 Achieve, one of the main organizations evaluating the Common Core, even exhorts institutions of higher education to revise their curricula to create "seamless transitions" from K–12 to postsecondary schools.5
This concern is being realized in multiple states, including Illinois. In a 2012 policy brief, the Illinois State Board of Education emphasized the need to seamlessly connect high school and college education by streamlining the curriculum taught to high school seniors and college freshmen according to the Common Core.6 Though Illinois encouraged state universities to share with state high schools what kind of material students will be expected to know in their first year of college, nothing indicates that homeschools or private schools would be privy to the same information. This movement to standardize post-secondary academic standards reveals that the Common Core's emphases and methods will permeate American education beyond elementary and secondary public schools.
The final area of concern for homeschoolers is that national and other popular standardized tests across the country are being rewritten to be aligned to the Common Core. David Coleman, the president of the College Board, was one of the primary authors of the Common Core English language arts standards. He is overseeing the renovation of both the PSAT and the SAT to fully implement the Common Core.7 The redesigned PSAT will be used in 2015; the new SAT will debut in 2016. 8 Questions are being added to the ACT to reflect the Common Core's emphasis on tracing ideas through multiple texts and increased focus on statistics. The ACT will also contain optional open-ended questions to assess students' ability to explain and support their claims.8 The latest version of the Iowa Test of Basic Skills is based on the Common Core.10 The GED has been redesigned for the first time since 2002 to incorporate "practices and skills from the Common Core State Standards for Mathematical Practice."11 Writers of the GED explain that they decided to revise the test now because "The shift to the Common Core standards is happening nationwide at the current time."12
The alignment of standardized tests with the Common Core may not seem alarming, because homeschool students consistently score much higher on standardized assessments than public school students. However, as information about the content of newly designed curriculum begins to surface, it is becoming clear that the Common Core's focus on informational texts makes it easy to accentuate particular schools of thought.
Students taking the redesigned SAT, ACT, or the Iowa Tests could soon encounter progressive ideologies including social engineering and alternative lifestyles. As Common Core expert Dr. Mary Brynes reminds us, "people who control the standards and control the assessments—the assessments are the key—they control education."13 If private or homeschool students are not adherents to the Common Core, they could find themselves at a significant disadvantage come test time.
The Stanford 10 Achievement Tests have not been changed to reflect the Common Core. 14 Pearson Assessments, the publisher of the Stanford 10 Achievement Tests, did announce that the English language arts assessment was 100% aligned to the Common Core without revision. The mathematics assessment was 98.5% aligned. But parents wishing to avoid traces of the Common Core in standardized tests should still consider this examination an excellent option.

Most Bang for the Buck?
Most Bang for the Buck?
i think it's a completely personal decision based on wants and needs. no clear answer. same with regards to resale. it depends on what the buyer wants. you only need one buyer.
strictly speaking if the majority of the driving is within 100 miles or so then the 40 will provide the most bang for the buck - you can either use someone else's ICE if you want or rent a car. i think you would be hard pressed to find $10,000 worth of rental/gasoline costs over the life of your S.
you also have some added performance with the higher battery packs per tesla.
for me, i will have complete range satisfaction with a 40kW but am getting a 60kW because i know i do want a little more performance (as posted numbers are) and never want to worry about 8-10 years down the road if my driving habits slightly increase. i like going 70-80mph with the AC on!
bottom line - no clear winner for everyone but certainly clear winners for independant situations.
85 performance all the way. You are talking about Bang. 0-60 is awesome and no range problems. Free supercharging
There are as many answers to this question as there are combinations of options for the car.
The S made MSN's Ultimate Car Collection list. Looks like we're all getting plenty of bang regardless of configuration. Part of the article said;
"...it's also hands-down one of the best-looking sedans on the road, now or ever." - Josh Condon MSN Auto
I took a different look at it. I know this car is minimum 4 times more then I ever spent on a car. I asked myself questions such as these:
How long do I really plan on driving the Model S for?
What features are a must?
What features do I really want?
Are those features worth the cost?
How about if I divide the cost over the practical amount of time I plan on owning the Model S, does that make those options sound more practical?
Eventually my answer to the above let me to purchase a Performance Model S Signature series and I hope to live happily ever after.
In terms of "which config earns Tesla the smallest margin", i.e., which config has the least markup and a price that is as close to production cost as possible, I'm pretty sure it's the 40 kWh w/o any options. That's the configuration they had to squeeze just under 50k by all means. Anything on top of that almost certainly adds more to Tesla's margin (not only in absolute numbers, but also relative to the total cost of the vehicle).
Other than that, I agree with the comments above. It all boils down to how big your disposable budget is...
@BYT - good way to look at it.
If you're getting a car like this, go all-in.
I'm with tesla.mrspaghet. Every bell and every whistle please. And that is what we did and we absolutely have no regrets.
My parents taught me that if I have any regrets in life, it'll be for the things I didn't do, not the things I did do. Same with this car. Enough said. Guess I'll go out and drive. 8-)
I think it's really impossible to decide what is a better value, because it really comes down to 'personal value'. Each of us are different, have different lifestyles, different commutes, and different likes and dislikes.
For myself, if the 40 kWh battery and 19" wheels were the only option, I would have not bought a Tesla. I drive well over 125 miles a day, love flashy cars, great music sound-systems, and the quicker the vehical, the better!
So, for me, the performance Signature with the styling 21" dark-grey wheels is a bargain, and a great value, considering my other options (Porsche, Jag, BMW, MB, Audi).
I would have never consider a Prius or Volt, as for me, they all appear and feel like a serious compromise based on where I am at in my life and career. Some might call me superficial, wanting to drive a HOT looking and seriously fast modern EV, however, I that's what 'floats my boat'', so again, we are all different, and value different things.
I agree with everyone that everyone has there own personal opinions, however, in my case i could have purchased the 85kwh without the interior color i wanted, and the better sound system etc.
so i went with the 60kwh- Tesla pearl white, 19" rims, tech package, sound studio package, air suspension, and tan Nappa leather.
i feel 100 percent better than leaving all those upgrades out.
While if I were single with no kids I would be all in on the Performance S but i am not and I am part of the neglected middle class. I will have to pay full price for collage for 2 kids in the next few years.
For us it was it was 60KWh with no option or 40KWh with options so we got the 40 and all the options. I am sure at some point I will have the ability update the battery when needed. 90% of our driving is in the range of the 40 and for the locations further away I am finding charge point or putting in 14-50 plugs. Much cheaper than $10k for 60KWh pack.
I really really wish they would add the 40 to the Super Charge or at a min...put in HPC's at the Super Chargers.
Distances between SC:s are longer than 40kWh car range. They could add some HPC:s there, but you still would not be able to do long range trips with 40kWh, at least not without annoyingly frequent charging. 40kWh is basically for city only. Kind of Nissan Leaf with much nicer packaging.
If I would need to choose between 40kWh Model S now, or longer range GenIII later I would choose GenIII. I just hope that "affordable" in that case doesn't mean that they do not offer longer range with extra $$$.
I also agree that it boils to individual situation and personal choice.
Per Volker, the 40kW w/ no options probably represents the smallest margin for Tesla = largest financial advantage for me. So, my top ten reasons for choosing the 40kW pack:
1. My daily commute is 30 miles RT. Family weekend outings average 75 miles/day. Heavy travel weekends have seen 125 miles/day. The 40kW will meet 95% of my travel needs.
2. Based on my travel patterns, the 40Kw battery will be in a more favorable average SOC than with a larger pack. This should minimize capacity degradation.
3. For trips over 300 miles I decided a long time ago I would rather fly. No supercharger needed.
4. EV batteries are very expensive now. I would rather spend $15K or less in 7-8 years to upgrade to the latest tech = 500 mile battery (pure speculation, but my strong belief) than to spend $10K-$20K now and sit on excess battery capacity I will hardly use that is also rapidly depreciating in value. This plan also takes full advantage of the available warranty.
5. SuperCharger access could be 2+ years away (east coast) so requisite hardware would be idle $ in a depreciating asset before any value could be realized. Would also be as many years closer to newer battery tech.
6. I've estimated the 40kW compromise would be the once-a-year trips over 100 miles one way, but using our other ICE on those occasions is a good trade for the extra $10K - $20K in savings.
7. I am not rich
8. Even though I think the Tech Package is overpriced and doesn't represent a lot of apparent value for me, buying the 40kW allows me to get it without guilt and worry that I may be missing out on something unforeseen.
9. The $7500 tax credit will be a much larger discount (on a % basis) for the 40kW config. = more financial value.
10. I plan to keep the car for 15 years (especially after a battery upgrade) so resale value is not a consideration.
Now, adding in my must-have options brings my configuration to:
40kW Model S - Standard
19" Wheels
Tech Package
Pano Roof
Air Suspension
$1900 prepaid service
Every configuration presents trade offs, but this one will meet 99% of my needs. Good enough for me, but again, personal choice.

Now in residence at Lux, artist uses animals to explore various concerns
Melissa Miller
Where: Lux Art Institute, 1550 South El Camino Real, Encinitas
When: In residence through June 29; on exhibit through July 27
Admission: $5 (free on June 22 family day)
Phone: (760) 436-6611
Online: luxartinstitute.org
There are probably only a few artists who are conversant in the topic of "pasture management." Melissa Miller, now in residence at the Lux Art Institute in Encinitas, is one of them.
"Pasture management was big in our family," said Miller, who grew up in Texas with grandparents who were ranchers. "What grasses do you grow? What natural grasses do you keep? What animals do you mingle? Where do you move them? How much do you let them eat? That's all part of pasture management."
In a sense, Miller still practices pasture management, although her pastures are of her own making and the animals are ones she's seen during her walks around rural Texas and her investigations into natural history.
Throughout a career spanning three decades that includes showings at the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennial and exhibits in museums from Houston to
In her carefully rendered, highly detailed, at times disconcerting canvases, she creates subtle narratives in which the animals are the key characters.
"It really was never my intention to just stick with animals," Miller said. "But they've become a pivot for me to explore a lot of different things. When I paint, I'm interested in composition and color and narrative and exploring. And because I have my animals, kind of like Morandi had his bottles, I'm able to do that. They still are a very functional subject matter for me."
Even her colleagues have gotten confused that the emphasis in her art is the art and not the animals.
"I have friends who teach, and they'll say, 'I have a student doing animals and I showed them your work'," she said. "And I think, 'Why don't you show them my work when you have a student interested in a certain kind of brush stroke, or a kind of expression?'
"I don't want to be an animal painter; I want to be a strong painter who uses animals and employs them in a certain way."
Animal instincts
Growing up in rural Texas, where she showed an affinity for animals even as a child, Miller was not encouraged to develop her artistic tendencies. But when she arrived at the
"I just knew, this is where I belong," she said. "And I never looked back. I have no idea why I thought I could do that, or where it came from. But it was just very apparent to me in a flash."
In Austin, and later at the
"I learned a lot about the brush stroke, and the fact it could be both form and content," she said. "And I learned about the 'artist's hand,' which went very much out of favor in the '90s, but I never lost my love for it."
But the actual content of abstract expressionism held little personal attraction for her, and after graduation, she returned to the farm in Texas and started what would become her lifelong pursuit: painting animals.
"I began finding my own content out of school, and that was the subject matter that was available to me," she said. "That was what I knew. It's the old adage: Write what you know. Paint what you know."
If conceptual art and performance were moving toward center stage in the art world and painting in general was being relegated to the sidelines, that had little bearing on her work.
"I never assumed I'd have much of a career as an artist," she said. "I just thought I'd paint and I'd paint for the rest of my life. But I'd probably have to do something else. And I did. I taught, at least until two years ago," when she retired from the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin.
But she doesn't call it retirement.
"In our house, we call it switching jobs," she said. "So now I'm back in the studio full-time. It's not nearly retirement, but it's a better job. And it's a job of my own choosing."
Miller has long had a home and studio in what was once rural Austin, where she still works and spends time walking and observing the wildlife. But increasingly, the scene is changing.
"The city grew to me, and so I've watched over the last 30-something years as species change and their habits change," she said. "I've been able to observe that very closely.
"And I do a lot of walking in rural Texas, and you can hardly go any distance without seeing some kind of trash, or something that has been affected by humans. So I've started putting that in the paintings."
Her interest in Asian art is also finding its way into her work, as she's experimenting with perspective and making the narrative aspects of her work increasingly subtle (although no less important).
"Especially in Japanese art and Korean art and Chinese art, they seem to put animals in a different context," Miller said. "They are more interested in them and their particular worlds and portraying them as they are, and less interested in anthropomorphizing them, or using them ironically.
"They seem to just sort of appreciate their being, their psyche, their nature."
Animal nature doesn't preclude an element of the theatrical, especially as Miller has recently been rendering one of nature's great dramas: predator and prey.
"Doing that was prompted by personal issues," Miller said. "That's usually what prompts the next thing. You get involved in something, or interested in something.
"Paint is a way for to sort of read my own life and figure out things. Things can be solved with paint — at least for me."

Washington (CNN) - Sen. Marco Rubio, the most prominent Republican working towards immigration reform, continued to argue Tuesday he's not pursuing the issue for his own political agenda and weighed in on his thoughts about 2016.
Applauding the Senate's decision to move forward with a border security amendment Monday night, the first-term senator also acknowledged the difficult position he's been in as he faces criticism from his own party.
"This amendment basically now puts into place virtually everything people have been asking me to do about immigration enforcement since I began talking about this issue," Rubio said during a speech to the American Society of News Editors in Washington.
He ticked off a number of the provisions in the compromise amendment, which includes 20,000 more border agents, the completion of 700 miles of fence along the boundary with Mexico, and $3.2 billion in technology upgrades, among other items.
The Senate decided to proceed with the amendment Monday in a 67-to-27 vote that helped clear a major hurdle for the comprehensive package drafted by the bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Eight.
The senator from Florida said the politics of immigration reform is "overrated," reiterating his full-throated defense that he's seeking immigration changes out of concern for the country, rather than concern for his political future. "Quite frankly, the politics of it are probably not that positive, certainly in the short term."
Widely considered a potential 2016 presidential contender, Rubio said Tuesday he "really (doesn't) think about that right now," arguing he first has to decide next year whether he'll run for re-election in the Senate before he considers a path to the White House.
"I also want to make sure I have something to contribute. I don't want to just hold office, whether it's in the Senate for re-election or for president or something else, simply because I can," he said. "I'm not at that stage yet."
Rubio, who was elected in 2010 with strong tea party support, also said thinking about higher office "begins to influence the way you behave politically-the decisions you make, the issues you take on, the stances that you adopt," adding he wants to stay focused on his current job.
While some Republicans have been heralding immigration reform as a chance to win more votes in the rising Hispanic community, Rubio said he has never presented it from that angle but acknowledged the voting demographic could look different down the road if immigration reform becomes law.
"I would not look at how people feel today politically and say that's how they're going to feel 10-15 years from now," he said. "America changes immigrants…People will change, especially once they begin to become fully enveloped in the American economic experience."
The Senate could start voting on the full package this week. If it passes, it then heads to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where House Speaker John Boehner has stated he won't take up the bill unless it has support from a majority of House Republicans.
Asked what he thinks will happen in the chamber, Rubio said the House is "going to do what the House wants to do" and made the case that the body should consider the Senate version of the bill.
"But ultimately they're going to have their own process and I'm not going to tell them how to run it," he said, predicting the House version will "look substantially different" from the Senate bill, especially on border security and the timeline for legal status of undocumented immigrants.
The biggest challenge that lies ahead, he added, is winning confidence from the public that the government can actually carry out the border security provisions the bill employs. Citing low approval ratings for Congress and a series of controversies plaguing the Obama administration, Rubio said "trust in the federal government today is probably as low as it's been since Watergate."
Growing more impassioned in his speech, Rubio devoted a substantial amount of time to talking about the country's history of immigration and his own family's story of emigrating from Cuba.
"Somehow all these different people from all these different places created the single greatest nation man has ever known, and I refuse to believe that we're still not that country," he said. "Because if we are, then we've lost the essence of who we are and the world has lost its greatest hope-that shining city on the hill."

"Rubio: Politics of immigration reform is 'overrated'"
Trojan Token's approval has plummeted by 15 points since February and his hopes for 2016 have been completely obliterated. BUT...Please proceed. Between the House GOP/Teatrolls killing immigration reform, the conservative SCOTUS trying to open the floodgates to voter suppression, voter dilution and disenfranchisement, and the predictable state GOP/Teatroll legislative reaction to the VRA ruling...well....we can really just reduce it all to 2 words for the GOP/Teatrolls:
Hey sniffit.....what is Obumer's approval rate??????? That is right, MORE DISAPPROVE then approve of him!!!!!!!!! All you libtards need to start thinking for yourself and stop drinking the kool-aid!!!! Get a clue you blind sheep!!!!
Donkey Party
California – The 50's is where you and your right-winger ideas are from (and that's 1850's). Oh, and thanks for confirming what we all already know of you from your asinine comments, that you're a proud racist.
Demcorats all inclusive argument again? You have nothing but hate lib. If you don't have debating skills you're welcome to leave.
Sorry California, that is all they have now, HATE is all they are about these days!!!! Look at Obama's approval rating (more disapprove then approve!!!!!), people are starting to realize just how hateful they are!!!

The hate ridden democrats screaming others hating. How ironic.
Immigrantion, Immigrantion, Immigrantion..........is this all that would attract the Hispanic votes...... What of the obstructionist policy of the Repubs against all Obama measures to improve the economy, create employment & affordable health services for these people. Besides, who among the Repubs would be fit to be voted for & under what achievements. Unless these Hispanics are easily enticed by minute political gestures, its going to be a long, long journey to earn the Hispanic votes , & the Repubs are yet to start.
The incompetents of this administration is laughably pathetic.
Time to end affirmative action. It's just plain racist.
The only thing overrated is Rubio!
Rubio is finished as gop pres. candidate, he is a democrat
"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague."
Who is gonna serve him strawberries, otherwise, mow his grass
With the Obamacare exception this bill actually ENCOURAGES businesses to hire immigrants instead of American citizens! Regardless of party politics, this bill is a massive insult to the American worker. Anyone who supports this bill is a traitor, plain and simple.
Another liar screwing Americans, 20 million Americans can't find work and this clown wants to give us 11 million more people to compete with for the 5 job openings, rubio is dumber Harry the girly voice reid, CLOWN
The GOP teaparty clown and goof anchor baby from Florida will be a one termed like the illegal Cruz and teaparty clown lee, GOP garbage of America!!!!
I hope your goose is cooked "well-done' over this one. You told one group one thing and another group something else. You, Marco Rubio, are absolutely DONE. Just another wannabee lifetime politician. Nothing new here.
This minion, is acting disillusioned. Maybe he's finally coming to terms with the fact that he's not as important to his party, as he thought.
Bye Bye Rubio when your next election comes up . Too many Floridians remember your term as Speaker and all the the huge amounts of missing money while your house and beauty salon visits took up high end work and renovations. Maybe Cuba might be interested in you. Your ex-constituants would gladly provide you with a Raft and see you off in a southeast direction.
Of course Rubio is doing this because he knows it's the only thing that can make people think he's really a compromiser and hopefully get the Hispanic vote in 2016. Well, the Hispanics are mostly Mexican and some South Americans. They really don't consider Rubio as one of them at all. The fact is, his politics are generally those of the ultra right.

Philo Taylor Farnsworth (August 19, 1906 – March 11, 1971) was an American inventor and television pioneer. Although he made many contributions that were crucial to the early development of all-electronic television, he is perhaps best known for inventing the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device (video camera tube), the "image dissector", the first fully functional and complete all-electronic television system, and for being the first person to demonstrate such a system to the public.
In later life, Farnsworth invented a small nuclear fusion device, the Farnsworth–Hirsch Fusor, or simply "fusor", employing inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC). Although not a practical device for generating nuclear energy, the fusor serves as a viable source of neutrons. The design of this device has been the acknowledged inspiration for other fusion approaches including the Polywell reactor concept in terms of a general approach to fusion design.
Farnsworth was born on August 19, 1906 to Lewis Edwin Farnsworth and Serena Amanda Bastian, a Mormon couple then living in a log cabin built by Lewis's father in a place called Indian Creek near Beaver, Utah. The family moved to a farm in Rigby, Idaho in 1918, where Lewis supplemented his farming income by hauling freight with his horse-drawn wagon. Philo was excited to find his new home was wired for electricity, with a Delco generator providing power for lighting and farm machinery. He was a quick study in mechanical and electrical technology, repairing the troublesome generator, and upon finding a burned out electric motor among some items discarded by the previous tenants, proceeding to rewind the armature and convert his mother's hand-powered washing machine into an electric-powered one. Philo developed an early interest in electronics after his first telephone conversation with an out-of-state relative and the discovery of a large cache of technology magazines in the attic of the family's new home.

Gary McGraw is CTO at Cigital, a software security and quality consulting company, and the author of the Software Security Library. He can be contacted at http://www.cigital.com/gem/.
Building secure software isn't as simple as adding cryptography and authentication. Nor is it a matter of plunking down a firewall in front of your Web apps. It's about adjusting the software development life cycle, teaching developers about security, choosing the right tools and techniques for writing code, and adapting the development culture to care about security. Each of these activities is made easier and more doable with not just careful planning but also objective measurement.
Many companies have large-scale software security initiatives. I know of 75 such efforts from my research alone. They cover a broad spectrum of industries, from financial services and independent software vendors to healthcare and energy providers. Any company that develops software or relies on it needs a software security initiative and metrics to measure its effectiveness.
Over the last decade, a number of software security methodologies have evolved, including Microsoft's Secure Development Lifecycle; the Comprehensive, Lightweight Application Security Process, part of the Open Web Application Security Project; and the Seven Touchpoints for Software Security. All are grounded in good software engineering and require attention to security throughout software's life cycle. Companies must understand common risks, design for security, and subject all software artifacts to thorough, objective risk analyses and testing.
What's Really Happening
That's what companies ought to be doing anyway. For a look at what they're actually doing, BSIMM -- short for Building Security In Maturity Model and pronounced "bee-sim" -- is an extensive research effort under way to analyze software security activities of companies such as Adobe, Bank of America, Capital One, EMC, Google, Intel, Microsoft, Symantec, VMware, and Wells Fargo. I'm one of the researchers.
BSIMM currently describes the work of 635 people in 30 companies who together have 130 years of experience working on software security. The success of these companies' programs hinges on having an internal group devoted to software security. The average size of these groups at BSIMM participants is 22 people, helped by about 40 others -- developers, architects, and people directly engaged in and promoting software security. These companies have an average of 5,061 developers -- so around 1% of the development team is directly promoting security.
BSIMM delineates 109 activities, such as getting upper management buy-in when it comes to compliance and privacy, and protecting the integrity of software by using code signing. These activities are organized in 12 categories such as compliance and policy, code review, and security testing. The 12 practices are divided into four groups -- governance, intelligence, touchpoints, and deployment; see Table 1. For BSIMM's most recent study, researchers counted each time they observed one of the 109 activities.
The greatest value of BSIMM is in measuring and comparing software security initiatives among companies in different industries. To give you some idea of analysis capabilities provided by the BSIMM, Figures 1 and 2 show the average maturity level over some number of organizations for the 12 practices.
Figure 1 shows data from all 30 BSIMM firms, while Figure 2 shows data from the top 10 firms (as determined by recursive mean score). In Figure 3, we calculated the level of activity in each of 12 practices for a company, then we average those scores for companies in the same industry. We've done this for financial services companies and ISVs in Figure 3.

More Quests
More Quests[edit]
There's nothing left for Shannon in the tomb. Her adventure mini-window is now giving her that special button, now labeled "Deliver Briefing." It's only just before 3:00pm, so we've still got plenty of time. I click it, and Shannon finds her way out and to Nabila. She cashes in her quest, then receives another one to talk to one of Nabila's employees, named Raffi.
In the interest of not wanting to spoil anything, we won't give you anymore walkthroughs of tombs. You may see a surprise or two here or there, but remember that the solution to almost every room lies in the room itself. If you come to a door that requires a keystone but you can't find it, you may want to buy a Skeleton Keystone from the market vendors. It's probably good to have a couple of them on you at all times when you're doing some serious tomb raiding.
That said, the next quest Shannon gets is to help Raffi find four pieces of turquoise. You don't get mining tools: this is a perennial fetch quest! And unlike the previous quest, the yellow dot in map view doesn't help you very much because it just points to Raffi. However, going into map view does present Shannon with a few light-blue dots with gem icons. These mark the exact location of the turquoise in question, which has spawned in just for her. She collects two… scans the map… and doesn't find any more!
When you get a fetch quest, the item you look for spawns in at a few possible locations each day. Shannon picks up the two she can see now, but can't do any more for today. This isn't a big deal, really: it's getting late, and Shannon doesn't want to be in the middle of nowhere when night falls. After pocketing her two pieces of turquoise, she goes to the market to buy a couple souvenirs (hey, it was a Want, and I went ahead and spoiled her!), then retreats to the Base Camp to eat, hit the bathroom, shower, and sleep.
The nice thing about these quests is that their progress saves to Sims regardless of what else they're doing. Even if Shannon's vacation were to end after a single day, then the next time she arrives in Egypt, she can pick up right where she left off in the current adventure. Don't ever feel pressured to get something done… unless you really just want to finish the quest before returning home! You can view your current task in the Opportunities Pane of the interface.
The next morning, Shannon wakes up early. She makes sure all her meters are topped off, then looks at map view. Lo and behold, a couple more turquoise pieces have spawned in! She hurries to collect them, then cashes in her quest. Her next one is easy to describe but time-consuming in execution: she needs to ask some villagers' opinions of the mysterious company wanting to take over Egypt, but she can't just pop the question out immediately. Shannon needs to make friends with a villager—or at least be somewhat friendly, about 10% of the relationship meter—then ask the question. She needs to do this to three different Sims to continue.
One of the best ways you can get on a local's good side is to learn one of the local songs. This is done by using the "Learn Song…" social interaction. Each locale has two songs to learn; they're singing songs, so you don't need any Guitar Skill or anything to learn them. Once Shannon knows them, she starts singing them to other locals with the "Sing…" social interaction, and sometimes she'll sing them to herself for no reason. Singing to others won't fill the relationship meter instantly or anything, but it makes for a good icebreaker.
Shannon isn't very sociable, so this part of this quest line takes all day. If she was more sociable, this would have gone a lot faster, but unfortunately, she has zero Charisma Skill. Adventurers should have a good variety of skills when they adventure, just to make things easier and quicker, though it's by no means a requirement. I'll have her work on that when she goes home.
Once she's done with it, she's tasked to explore another tomb. When she arrives at the tomb, which is a pyramid this time around, she is immediately blocked by a door. She can interact with the door with an "Inspect" command, which opens it up after a short animation. Sometimes these doors will remain closed; some doors only open if the current Sim actually has a quest for it, and others need items placed on nearby pedestals. Because Shannon has a quest here, the door opens for her.
Again, we won't do a complete walkthrough of it, but Shannon does see something in the first room that she hasn't seen before…
Clearly, there is some sort of pressure plate under this pile of rubble. She interacts with the rubble with a "Clear" command, pulls a pickaxe out of nowhere, and smacks the rubble until it dissipates. This gives her access to a switch, but…
Looking at her watch, she only has about 8 hours left on her vacation. A keystone tablet by a different door is glowing blue. This indicates that it's this tablet, and the adjacent door, that is the next step on her quest. Although she will probably see more loot by going for the pressure plate under the rubble, she wants to try to clear this tomb before being deported from Egypt. Ergo, she uses her keystone on the tablet, then continues.
In the next room, she encounters some holes in the ground in a hall linking to the next room. She uses an "Inspect" command, and learns that this is a fire trap!
She has options here. If she had a high Logic Skill, Shannon could disarm the trap with a command. Well, she can attempt to disarm it anyway, but it wouldn't turn out so well! She can also try to cross it and hope that her skin doesn't turn into a rotting flaming mass immediately, but it's pretty dangerous.
Shannon spots a pool nearby and has an idea. She interacts with it with a "Get Soaked" command. This causes her to drip incessantly. She then interacts with the fire trap and uses the "Attempt To Cross" command. Ironically, the trap doesn't even sense her movements; this has to do with her high level of Athletic Skill also. (Sneaking around Sims' homes as a thief probably helps her sneak across traps, too!)
On the other side of the trap is a locked door, as well as another pool. There is no other switch in the room, so she uses an "Explore" command on the pool. Shortly after swimming around, she finds a switch under the water. She trips it, and moves on.
Now, disarming traps or trying to cross them are not your only options. Shannon presently comes to a trap with a statue in front of it. She pushes the statue onto the trap, and immediately, the trap breaks and becomes dormant. If you can ever see a statue near a trap, break it this way, and you'll never have to worry about it again!
Shannon continues through the tomb and gets her objective, five harvest flame fruits. However, just as she collects the last one, time runs out. She is ejected from the tomb and from the country, sadly… She never got to turn in her quest! Luckily, as we stated before, progress on this quest saves along with her. Unless she gets rid of her fruits, she can just immediately turn them back in once she's back in Egypt.

Pac-12 Post-Mortems: UCLAPosted by Andrew Murawa on April 23rd, 2014
Over the next couple of weeks, we'll go through each Pac-12 team one by one and recount the season that has just completed and begin to turn the page to what we might see next season. Today, UCLA.
What Went Right
Although it took some time to get there, this Bruins team coalesced nicely as the season wore on. Kyle Anderson turned into an All-American talent while the pieces around him were, by and large, rock solid. Team chemistry was light years better than under the previous administration, and eventually Steve Alford's first team in Westwood won over a wary fan base. While a Sweet Sixteen appearance is not going to earn accolades from the most jaded fans, the first year of the Alford era was definitely a step forward for the program.
What Went Wrong
Honestly, for this program and with this team, a loss in the Sweet Sixteen to a #1 seed isn't exactly an underachievement. Sure, maybe a better performance by the Bruins' frontcourt against Florida could have extended their season, and maybe Alford made some substitution errors in dealing with some minor foul trouble in that game. Certainly there were some defensive breakdowns too (how does Michael Frazier get that wide open that often?). But all told, Alford got about what he should have gotten out of this season's UCLA club.

Integrate the cloud with your backup app
Getting the sophistication of a backup app and the simplicity and scalability of cloud storage is possible today. But there are still some kinks to work out.
Getting the sophistication of a backup app and the simplicity and scalability of cloud storage is possible today. But there are still some kinks to work out.
Are you still backing up to boring old tape, disk or even deduped disk? What about using a backup device that has unlimited capacity and doesn't need to be managed? That's what cloud backup promises -- but can it possibly be that easy?
There are a lot of products and services being bandied about with the term cloud attached to them. Everybody wants to be on the cloud bandwagon, and it seems like everybody has an opinion about what the cloud is or isn't. In the absence of any clearly defined standards, we'll provide a definition for the purposes of our discussion.
The cloud, specifically the public cloud, is storage (or backup) that you don't have to manage. It has unlimited on-demand capacity and infinite burst capabilities, all for a price at or below what it would cost to do it yourself. If you want to pay for 100 TB this month and then pay for only 5 TB for the next year, you can do that with the cloud. You can't approach that kind of flexibility if you buy a storage system because you've paid for it whether you use it or not.
There's also the private cloud, where most of the marketing hyperbole is happening. For our purposes, we'll focus on the public cloud.
Cloud storage vs. cloud backup
Although the terms are often used interchangeably, there's a difference between cloud storage and cloud backup. Cloud storage is storage as a service. To tap into cloud storage, you get an account with a service provider; they provide you with their API and you use some type of software that enables you to store data via that API. Voila! You have storage with unlimited capacity. You don't manage the storage where your data resides, and you don't even have to ask for additional capacity. All you have to do is pay the bill. All cloud storage providers charge a "storage fee," a monthly rate based on how many gigabytes of data are stored in your account. In addition, some cloud storage providers may charge a fee for each gigabyte that's downloaded or uploaded -- essentially a "bandwidth fee." With cloud storage, you still have to manage the application that's sending the data into the cloud.
To be considered a cloud backup service, a cloud service must provide all of the above plus the software to make the backups happen. A cloud backup service typically provides some type of client software that must be installed on all the systems to be backed up. Backups are then automatically scheduled to occur on a regular basis. The backup software generally uses techniques such as delta-level backups or full deduplication to minimize network traffic.
The provider's service-level agreement (and the price they charge) will determine what happens when things don't go as planned. At a minimum, the service may provide an on-screen pop-up notification or an email message to tell you that things are going well (or not). The service may also have the ability to automatically escalate the problem when failed backups aren't addressed.

Traditional backup software meets the cloud
Some companies may use a cloud backup service for all of their backups, while others may opt for a combination of traditional backup methods and cloud services. There are two very different ways to go about integrating traditional backup software and the cloud. You can use a traditional backup system in parallel with a cloud backup system, or you can use backup software that has the ability to use a cloud storage system as its target.
If the main reason you're considering using cloud backup is the "hands-off" aspect, then this is the route to take. You can continue using traditional backup software to perform the bulk of your backups, then use cloud backup software to handle those parts where it would be most beneficial. The most common practice is to start by performing remote site and laptop backups using the cloud backup service. Many companies aren't yet performing backups of their laptops, and backing them up with traditional backup software is problematic, to say the least. Most companies back up their remote sites, but they often use less than desirable methods because their remote offices don't have dedicated IT staff. A cloud backup service can solve both the laptop and remote-office problems; all you have to do is write a check.
Using cloud storage as a target for a traditional backup software package is a bit more problematic, but it's not without its advantages. The same things that are true of cloud storage for traditional data are true of cloud storage for backups: no management, endless capacity, etc. As a "bonus" you automatically get off-site backups, which is still a hassle for many companies.
There may be more challenges than advantages, however, when it comes to using cloud storage as the destination for traditional backups.
Too much data for the cloud?
The first challenge is that traditional backup sends and stores a lot of data. Traditional backup systems typically perform full backups once a week, and even backup apps that don't perform repeated fulls on file systems (e.g., IBM's Tivoli Storage Manager) perform full backups on applications. (Many companies even perform daily full backups of some key applications.) In addition, all traditional backup applications perform full-file incremental backups. That means if just a single byte has changed in a file, the modification time is changed or the archive bit is set so the entire file is included in that night's backups.
Both of these typical practices create a lot of data that's sent across the network and stored on the target device. If the target device was a cloud backup service, it would require significantly increased bandwidth and higher charges to store the data in the cloud. Remember that traditional backup systems are why data deduplication was developed. The backup applications create 20 GB on "tape" for every 1 GB on primary disk. So a 10 TB data center would need to pay for approximately 200 TB of cloud storage every month.
In addition to the cloud storage vendor's fees for disk capacity used and the amount of data transferred, there are the costs associated with having sufficient bandwidth to get the data to the cloud storage vendor. If you consistently and regularly create a 10 TB full backup and want to send it to the service over the wire, using a cloud storage vendor isn't likely to be practical. But even if your backup needs aren't that extreme, the behavior of traditional backup will make the cloud part of your backup system cost quite a bit.
Off-site data: The good and the bad
The second challenge ironically involves one of the key advantages of using a cloud backup service: having backup data stored off-site. Assuming you solve the problem of getting the data off-site in the first place, you then have the problem of all of your data being in a different location than your servers. Obviously, this can significantly hamper your ability to meet your recovery time objectives (RTOs). This means that any copy of your data that's stored in the cloud should be just that, a copy. More specifically, it shouldn't be the copy you rely on for routine data recoveries. Using cloud storage as the only copy of large amounts of data that need to be transferred across the Internet is simply a disaster waiting to happen.
This sounds like a problem for data deduplication to solve, right? Sort of. A lot of backup software packages can deduplicate the data before sending it over the Internet. That can certainly address the challenge of getting the backups onto cloud storage, but it doesn't address the challenge of getting the data back. So the rule about not relying on a single copy of your backups stored in the cloud still applies whether you're able to use deduplication or not.
Backup apps can link to the cloud
There are now a number of companies with software and hardware products that support backing up to the cloud. The first backup application vendor to announce support was Zmanda Inc., a commercial firm that offers its version of Amanda, an open source backup program. Amanda Enterprise 3.1 is capable of backing up directly to Amazon's Simple Storage Service (S3) cloud storage service.
CommVault Systems Inc.'s Simpana supports backing up to any cloud vendor that supports the Representational State Transfer (REST) protocol. So you can use cloud storage services such as Amazon, Iron Mountain, Microsoft Azure, Nirvanix or Rackspace as a target for CommVault Simpana backups or archives. Archiving may actually be a more appropriate data protection application for cloud storage because archivers don't perform repeated fulls and they have object-level dedupe built in.
EMC Corp. and Symantec Corp. did something similar when they each added the capability to back up to their own networks. EMC NetWorker backs up to any cloud vendor using EMC Atmos-based storage, while Symantec Backup Exec backs up to the Symantec Protection Network.
If your company uses a backup application that doesn't yet support backing up to the cloud, you might want to consider Nasuni Corp.'s Filer, which provides an NFS/CIFS NAS gateway to cloud storage. Any decent backup software package can back up to an NFS or CIFS mount.
Although it has limitations, one must still consider the availability of data deduplication when exploring backup applications that integrate with the cloud. Neither EMC NetWorker nor Amanda has any deduplication built into its products. CommVault Simpana and Symantec Backup Exec can deduplicate data before it's sent to the backup target. Simpana offers target deduplication that does the deduping once the data is sent to the media agent, while Backup Exec uses source deduplication with deduplication occurring at the client before the data is sent across the network. This makes them much more attractive companions to cloud storage. IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) customers also have an interesting option with Nasuni because TSM has deduplication built in.
Try it, but test it
Cloud backup services can be great complements to traditional backup systems, especially when those systems provide some level of integration. Because a cloud backup service will require little if any hardware to be installed on your site, it's relatively easy to perform a full proof of concept using real data. This is especially important because implementation may require substantial investments for licenses and have a profound effect on your backup environment. As with any backup product or service, you should test everything and believe nothing.

Mon, April 9 - Tue, April 10, 2018
SEC567 exposes you to the tools and techniques needed to execute a social engineering engagement that provides value to executives and others.
Everyone talks about social engineering, but no one knows in-depth how to conduct a proper social engineering penetration test. SEC567 exposes you to tools and techniques to execute a social engineering engagement that provides value to executives and others.
SEC567: Social Engineering for Penetration Testers provides the blend of knowledge required to add social engineering skills to your penetration testing portfolio. Successful social engineering utilizes psychological principles and technical techniques to measure your success and manage the risk. SEC567 covers the principles of persuasion and the psychology foundations required to craft effective attacks and bolsters this with many examples of what works from both cyber criminals and the authors experience in engagements. On top of these principles we provide a number of tools (produced in our engagements over the years and now available in the course) and also labs centered around the key technical skills required to measure your social engineering success and report it to your company or client.
You'll learn how to perform recon on targets using a wide variety of sites and tools, create and track phishing campaigns, and develop media payloads that effectively demonstrate compromise scenarios. You'll also learn how to conduct pretexting exercises, and we wrap the course with a fun "Capture the Human" exercise to put what you've learned into practice. This is the perfect course to open up new attack possibilities, to better understand the human vulnerability in attacks and to let you practice snares that have proven themselves in tests time and time again.

Author Statement
Social Engineering has always been a critical part of the cyber criminals' toolkit and has been at the core of innumerable attacks over the years. Social engineering as a part of penetration testing has become a massive interest of organizations and yet many penetration testers do not have it as a part of their attack toolkit. We are passionate about changing that and opening up a new set of attack possibilities. That being said, this is an area filled with ethical challenges, risks and even legal landmines and we've done our best to share our experiences in the course so people can reap the benefits of our experiences without falling in to the pitfalls we have over the years.

DALLAS, Texas – Three members of the MIT football team were named to the 2012 National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame Hampshire Honor Society, the organization announced today. Seniors Peter Gilliland (Grand Ledge, Mich.), Justin Kresz (Tarpon Springs, Fla.) and Kristopher Weaver (Sheldon, Iowa) were all named to the prestigious academic honor.
An electrical engineering and computer science major, Gilliland will leave the MIT program as one of its all-time leaders in both tackling and kick scoring. He finished his career with 272 tackles, 140 of which were solo stops. As a kicker he scored 76 points on eight field goals and 52 PATs while also averaging 31.8 yards on 64 punts. Kresz, who is majoring in mechanical engineering, closed out his career in fine style, finishing second on the team in receiving with 29 catches for 382 yards and two scores, all of which represented career highs. He finished his career with 44 catches for 540 yards. Weaver, an aerospace engineering major, matched Gilliland with 272 career tackles, with 13.5 of them coming behind the line of scrimmage for losses.
The Hampshire Honor Society is comprised of college football players from all divisions of play who each maintained a cumulative 3.2 GPA or better throughout their college career. A total of 721 players from 232 schools qualified for membership in the society's sixth year, marking this year's class as the largest since the program's creation in 2007. MIT has had at least one representative on the team since 2008.
