NIST wants software to help spot smartphone security holes
Monday - 8/20/2012, 8:53am EDT
The military, working through DARPA, is trying to develop its own marketplace of apps for helping troops in the field. The effort is called the Transformative Apps program.
Because apps will be developed by third parties, DARPA and NIST want to make sure they are resistent to malicious hackers. The contract to develop the testing tools will be set aside for a disabled veteran-owned small business.

On June 25th in Washington, D.C. I joined over 100 advocates from around the country at the White House Senior Community Leaders Summit, sponsored by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.
We met with White House staff and members of Congress to tell them we need our Social Security and Medicare programs preserved most importantly, for our children and grandchildren. More than half of seniors today rely on Social Security for 90 percent of their income. Current workers and their children already face less secure economic futures because of the recession, so cutting benefits or raising the eligibility age for future Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries is unacceptable
We criticized the House GOP Budget, which seeks to end traditional Medicare as we know it through privatization. We reminded them that Social Security does not contribute one penny to the nation's deficit, contrary to what many politicians want voters to believe.
Social Security and Medicare are the third most important voter issue going into the 2012 election after jobs and the economy. Please, find out where your candidates stand on preserving Social Security and Medicare before you decide who to vote for in November!

Freshened following a pair of stakes wins over the inner track in the
December 4 Garland of Roses Handicap and January 1 Interborough, Nicole H prompted
the pace three-wide in third as Wild News carved out an opening quarter mile in
23.90. Claiming the lead without being asked by jockey Channing Hill following
a half in 46.81, she drew away under minimal urging to prevail by 2 ½ lengths
over Wild News.
"She seemed like the best filly in
the race and I rode her that way and just tried to keep her happy," said
Nicole H, the 4-5 favorite, returned $3.90
for a $2 win wager to her backers in the crowd 5,481 and completed seven
furlongs in 1:23.29.
"She just dragged him up there at
the three-eighths pole," said Mike Hushion, who trains the 4-year-old for
GEM Racing. "I felt awfully good at that point. Everyone else was
driving, and she was just dragging him up. She was fresher than she usually is
in the paddock, but when the gates opened, that first quarter-mile, thankfully,
she got to settle the way you would have hoped the first time going
seven-eighths against these."
Nicole H, who began her career competing
for trainer David Hofmans on artificial surfaces and turf in Southern
California, is now 4-1-0 in seven starts since being transferred
to Hushion and switched to conventional dirt. Overall, she is 5-5-2 from 15
starts, with the $90,000 winner's share of the Distaff purse boosting her
career earnings to $279,344.
Bred in Kentucky by JMJ Racing Stables, Nicole H is a
4-year-old daughter of Mr. Greeley. Plans for her next start will be determined
at a later date.

Hanover forfeits homecoming game
HANOVER — Hanover High School is forfeiting its homecoming game Friday night in response to "inappropriate" conduct by some players during a post-practice gathering last month.
Administrators announced the forfeit in a letter to parents this week, saying skits performed during the players-only celebration to the end of two-a-day practices violated the student code of conduct by objectifying women. The letter said many of the skits were sexually themed and "egregiously inappropriate."
District superintendent Frank Bass declined to elaborate Thursday on the players' conduct Aug. 24 at the home of one of the players. Bass said administrators considered it serious enough to warrant a one-game suspension. Enough players were facing the sanction that Hanover could not field enough for a team on Friday night, leading to the forfeiture.

Now operating across two sites in Kent, Coolings has built a reputation as a successful family business, won multiple awards and achieved a high rank in the Garden Retail Top 100, Matthew Appleby reports.
Placing fertiliser onto beds of outdoor flowering gladioli at the planting stage as opposed to broadcasting, is saving a Lincolnshire grower an estimated £4,500 a year by reducing fertiliser usage and the cost of application in a separate pass.
This summer's fine weather has led to a bumper crop of sunflowers in Lincolnshire, with one supermarket giant reporting sales up by 288 per cent.
The redesign of Bishop Burton College's walled garden has been opened to the public for the first time since work on the project started in 2012.

Even in a summer 7-on-7 passing league, Carl Junction head coach Doug Buckmaster wants his players to have a Friday night frame of mind.
Buckmaster has returned to high school football after two seasons as offensive coordinator at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College at Miami. He had his players sprinting on and off the field Monday during games against Afton and Southeast at Carl Junction.
"We've had a good summer," Buckmaster said. "We had our camp in the first week of June. Our kids really progressed in one week's time. The biggest thing is we have to start expecting more out of ourselves.
"We want to play fast," he said. "We want our kids to understand fast tempo, not just once in a while, but all the time. They have to learn to compete every snap of the ball. The best teams, when they face adversity, they overcome it. That's what we need to be able to do."
The Mercy Sports Care 7-on-7 league has given Buckmaster the opportunity to evaluate Carl Junction's returning players along with younger players who will compete for playing time.
So far, he said he has found several candidates for what figures to be a deep corps of receivers. Matt Magee, Andrew Reed and Tanner McMurtry, who missed last season because of an injury, will be part of the mix.
Christian Pittman, who will play cornerback on defense, and Reece Tholen, an outside linebacker on defense, could see playing time as receivers as well, he said.
"We have seven or eight kids who can do a lot of things," Buckmaster said. "One thing we've probably spent too much time on is reteaching, whether it's offense or defense. It's just a lack of focus. When we're being coached, we need to listen."
Leading candidates who have emerged at tight end include Chris Whelan, Kris Burd and Alex McMullen. "We will play with multiple tight-end sets," he said.
Even at quarterback, Buckmaster will have choices to make. Chase Johnston, Dustin Satterlee, Braydon Allen and Ryan Devore are under consideration, he said.
"We have a lot of depth at the quarterback position," he said. "We have a lot of great kids over here. They've bought in and they're busting their tails. We have a lot of growth potential. They can play at a higher level than what they think they're capable of."
Although linemen don't participate in the 7-on-7 league, he said he has been monitoring their progress at camps and in the weight room and has been pleased with what he has seen.
"Our big kids up front have had a very good summer," he said. "I've been very pleased with how hard those kids have worked, especially on the offensive side. That's where champions are built. We need a few more up front on defense."
Buckmaster, who has been a head coach at Riverton, Carthage and Joplin, said he's looking forward to coaching from the sidelines on Friday nights again.
"There's nothing like high school football," he said. "People support high school football. I don't care if it's Class A or Class 6A, there's atmosphere in high school football. It's going to be great.
"We open up at Webb City," he said. "I don't know where they stand with their winning streak, but what they've done is amazing. I'm looking forward to playing at Webb City with that atmosphere. That's high school football right there."

First of Its Kind Free Lung Clinic Is Open in Apopka
Open just six months, the free clinic is already seeing a need to expand its hours.
[Respiratory Therapist Kathy Cirilo and Nurse Practitioner Sherri Ferguson are volunteers at the Apopka Community Lung Clinic]
Florida Hospital Respiratory Care Director Ed Fluker says it was always hard to watch uninsured patients come through the emergency department with things like asthma, emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because there were always problems with follow up care.
"We were always very concerned about their welfare or what they would do because they would leave with prescriptions they couldn't afford to fill, and we knew in a lot of cases they would just go home and they would get sicker, probably come back to the hospital, but in a lot of cases it prevented them from being able to hold a job or keep a job or take care of their families," says Fluker.
That's what triggered the idea for the Apopka Community Lung Clinic. It's grant funded and staffed by 150 volunteer nurses, respiratory therapists and doctors, it can not only provide treatments, it can provide up to a year's worth of medication to patients who qualify. The need is so great, the clinic has provided 160-thousand dollars worth of medication since it opened in July. Right now the clinic is open only on Tuesdays, but Fulker says in January the clinic expand to two days a week- and hopefully it will eventually open other locations.

Subscribed. Saving this for when I make the jump to AG.
Was looking for something for the holidays and I think this might be what I'm looking for. Ordering ingredients tonight thanks! Oh also is this with light or dark brown sugar?
Was thinking of giving this recipe a try one question..Are the numbers correct? Beersmith estimates it at 1.062 (without the crackers)@%72. Will the crackers bring the SG up that much?
Sounds pretty durn interesting. A lot going on with ingredients. Might be a silly question but what are the flavor highlights? Hell of a label by the by.
One more picture for you slim. This is 3/4 of graham cracker ale and 1/4 of my chocolate porter. It is a perfect match.
Have this in primary right now. I used white labs 002 in mine my og came in allot lower than expected at 1056... But the post bill sample tasted awesome.

If I could trade SEA (after this week) for a D/ST that could help me in the playoffs (HOU) and week 12 since I have CIN
Should I trade SEA for HOU?
I am thinking about doing it after this week but if I could get HOU now I could put CIN in this week against the Browns.
Week 11 – CIN vCLE or HOU vOAK
Week 12 – HOU vJAX
Week 13 – CIN @SD
Week 14 – HOU@JAX
Week 15 – CIN @PIT
Week 16 – CIN vMIN
The team that has HOU is the number 1 seed right now and in the other div and plays me week 13 with play offs starting week 14. He is definitely getting the bye. I might see him again week 16 (if I make it there).
SEA had NYG and ARI week 15-16… would that hurt me in the playoffs if he has them

On Bye: Jets, Patriots, Chiefs, Browns
There are lots of ways to take a look at a set of results like these. First, how well did we hit the big scores?
The Rams D/ST was projected a measly 3.08 points, yet they scored 25 points. Twenty five! And this is the second time they've scored 25 points, a feat unmatched by Kansas City, Carolina, and Seattle. They've also scored 0, 1, and 2 points earlier in the year along with scores of 5, 6, and 7. They've been inconsistent at best. And facing the Colts team that had yet to concede 10 points to a D/ST all year? I don't think anyone could have predicted this one. I won't be concerned about this score or the Jaguars D/ST's score of 16 – sometimes clearly suboptimal plays hit big. Cool. That leaves the Panthers and Raiders as the two question marks of the high scores: teams that scored well, have projected well in the past, but were projected low in week 10.
But first, the rest of the winners. The Giants, Cardinals, 49ers, and Bengals were all big winners, and all were recommend almost across the board if best available. They were rated 4th, 5th, 7th, and 12th. The Titans and Seahawks, ranked 1st and 3rd, were slightly disappointing (though Tennessee played well), but both still scored above average. The 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 14th ranked teams all scored better than average this week – 6 or more points, with some (Baltimore, Pittsburgh, et al) scoring 10+.
Every single one of the top 14 ranked teams last week scored you at least average, and most scored far better.
Every one, that is, except for Indianapolis. They were our second ranked team, projected a hearty 10.32, against a weird Rams team. What the hell happened? First, flukey special teams scoring is going to affect both teams D/STs – Tavon Austin's TD added 6 points to the Rams D/ST, but it also subtracted 2 points from Indy's score. The Colts also couldn't get to Kellen Clemens – just 2 sacks, no interceptions, and a forced fumble from the Rams' QB. Games like this are why NFL games are played instead of simulated, because even underdogs can win big on occasion!
With the Colts facing a generous St. Louis team in Indianapolis in week 10, streamers who settled on them are going to face a difficult choice this week.
Replace "generous St. Louis" with "middle of the road Tennessee" and you have a similar choice for a second week in a row. The Colts D/ST is ranked a healthy 7th in week 11.
Carolina and Oakland
Both teams scored very well, despite low projections – however, unlike Jacksonville and St. Louis, both were in very intriguing positions. Many of /r/fantasyfootballs's questions this week were about Carolina: specifically, given their amazing rest of season (ROS) schedule, should the Panthers D/ST be dropped, sat, or started? In almost every case, I recommended they be benched or started, but not dropped. Benching them for any best available D/ST besides Indy would have yielded a fine result this week.
As far as I was concerned, the Raiders D/ST was unstartable in week 10. I stand by that one. Perhaps in a week or two we can point at week 9′s 49-point disaster against Foles and Philly as an outlier, but when setting our lineups for week 10, we did not have that luxury.
But that's enough about week 10. I know you're really here for week 11 (please read/contribute to the discussion thread here!)
Week 11 projected D/ST scoring (ESPN Standard)
- Seahawks D/ST (12.63) versus Minnesota (low variance)
- Cardinals D/ST (11.60) at Jacksonville (low variance)
- Giants D/ST (10.03) versus Green Bay
- Bears D/ST (9.18) versus Baltimore (high variance)
- Texans D/ST (9.06) versus Oakland (low variance)
- Jets D/ST (8.69) at Buffalo
- Colts D/ST (8.55) at Tennessee
- Bills D/ST (8.32) versus NY Jets
- Bengals D/ST (7.24) versus Cleveland (low variance)
- Panthers D/ST (7.00) versus New England
- Saints D/ST (6.70) versus San Francisco
- Buccaneers D/ST (6.53) versus Atlanta (high variance)

- Redskins D/ST (-0.24) at Philadelphia
- Vikings D/ST (-0.93) at Seattle
On Bye: Dallas Cowboys, St. Louis Rams
Tier 1: Seahawks, Cardinals
These two should should surprise nobody: The Seahawks get to hop on the QB Carousel, and right now it's currently looking like Christian Ponder might get the go. The Cardinals get a crack at the Jaguars pinata. If you're holding one of these two teams, you should be starting them this week over all alternatives. The Cardinals D/ST is only owned in 31% of ESPN leagues!
Tier 2: Giants, Bears, Texans
The Bears seem like the odd one out here. Once mighty, their numbers have cooled off significantly since their torrid start – they're a very high risk play this week. However, they're projected a very high expectation of 9.2, and they're owned in just 74% of ESPN leagues. If you want a high variance home run, the Bears are probably your choice.
The Texans get a chance to follow up their first solid D/ST performance in weeks with a game at home against Oakland. The Raiders have conceded 10+ points to 4 of their last 6 D/STs faced, and they're on the road against a Texans team that scored another disappointing score last week. This is a great confidence test prior to their Jacksonville game next week. They're currently owned in 81% of leagues, but that number should be 100% this week.
The Giants. The mother. fucking. New York Giants. I hate the team with a passion, but they've continued to roll! Three straight wins has them right back in the playoff race, and their D/ST has scored well for three games in a row now. This week, they get backup backup QB Scott Tolzien and the Green Bay Packers… what's left of the Packers offense, anyway. Be warned that Tolzien's miniscule sample size may be creating some noise here – I would much rather have the Texans this week than the Giants, for example.
Tier 3: Jets, Colts, Bills, Bengals, Panthers
All five of these teams have promise this week. The Bengals are the safest play of the five, for sure. The Jets appear to have the most upside, but as with the Giants, Tuel Time has only been airing for a couple weeks now. His body of work is lacking, too, so proceed with caution when the Jets are concerned… but which NY Jet can you not say that about?
If you have the Panthers D/ST, you can probably start them with relative confidence. They've been outscoring projections for weeks and have been the most valuable D/ST recently (even more points than KC over each team's last 5 games!), and their next two games are at Miami and versus Tampa Bay. The Panthers should not be dropped for any team, and they can be started over most or benched for a stream based on roster space. The Panthers are at a 70% ownership rate – what is going on with this?
The Bills could be a very sneaky play this week. They've underperformed all year, but they're a team full of IDP studs. Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, Aaron Williams, and a few other guys not named Williams have all been keeping pace with the leaders at their respective positions in fantasy scoring, but the Bills D/ST have been giving up too many points to score consistently well in fantasy. This might be their breakout week. Ownership of just 7% ensures the Bills should be available in most leagues.
The situation with the Colts is simple: They've got an average matchup, but they're on the road, have been giant turds for two weeks in a row, and I wouldn't be able to recommend them be started over any option in tier 2 or 3 this week.
Tier 4: Saints, Buccaneers, Broncos, Lions
There should be sufficient choices higher up on the list for most owners, but these should do in a pinch for an average score. Denver rate as having the least upside of the four, but as with any team facing significant personnel changes midseason, they've got slightly more uncertainty than I'd like.
Tbe only team of the four with 2-week considerations is the Lions, with their chance next week to face GB's QB of the future (get well soon, Aaron Rodgers), but you can probably stream something equivalent next week.
On Kansas City
Would you consider starting any other D/ST at Denver? I wouldn't. I don't care who. A all-star team playing hard would have a hard time stopping that offense. Vegas has the Broncos expecting approximately 28 points this weekend. What kind of room does that leave for KC? They're in the position where they'll probably need a defensive TD in order to stay relevant. That being said, is a 14-13 kind of game possible? Absolutely. Is it likely? Hell no. You had to roster a D/ST last week in order to get past Kansas City's bye week, so don't get cute. Start them again, or stream something new.
Week 13 begins the fantasy football playoffs for many leagues, and it's close for others. Here are the D/STs that I would look for in order to cover playoff matchups. If you don't see your team in the "Consider starting" list, and you don't see it in the "Consider sitting" list, you can assume that they're a safe start. For example, in Week 13, Carolina have the Buccaneers at home, and should not be sat in any league.
13 | Consider starting Cleveland (v JAX), Miami (@ NYJ), Patriots (@ HOU), Ravens (v PIT)
13 | Consider sitting Tennessee (@ IND), Seattle (v NO), Kansas City (v DEN), Cincinnati (@ SD)
14 | Consider starting Houston (@ JAX), Miami (@ PIT), San Diego (v NYG), Arizona (@ STL)
14 | Consider sitting Tennessee (@ DEN), Seattle (@ SF), Carolina (@ NO)
15 | Consider starting Buffalo (@ JAX), Indianapolis (v HOU), New England (@ MIA), Tennessee (v ARI)
15 | Consider sitting Arizona (@ TEN), Houston (@ Indianapolis)
16 | Consider starting Tennessee (@ JAX), Detroit (v NYG), Cleveland (@ NYJ), Denver (@ HOU)
16 | Consider sitting Indianapolis (@ KC), Carolina (v NO), Arizona (@ SEA)
17 | Consider starting Indianapolis (v JAX), Cleveland (@ PIT), Tennessee (v HOU), Miami (v NYJ)
17 | Consider sitting Houston (@ TEN), Arizona (v SF)
Remember, choosing the right starters doesn't take luck – but often times winning does! So, to everyone:
Best of luck in week 11!

If I could trade SEA (after this week) for a D/ST that could help me in the playoffs (HOU) and week 12 since I have CIN
Hi Paul,
I wouldn't be trading the Seahawks D/ST for any other D/ST, not even the Chiefs (or in your case, the Texans). That's assuming standard scoring.
They're virtually matchup proof, and even with a bye and a game v New Orleans upcoming, should be a top 3 ROS option at the position.
Suggestion on who to pick up now to cover the CIN bye next week? I'm looking at DET or maybe JAC. The rest of my league has caught onto my shenanigans and are hoarding 2+ D/ST each.
Hmm! Tough one. I would like the Jacksonville play a lot more if that were in Jacksonville, but on the road I don't think I could pull the trigger. They've kind of crept in toward "a little worse than average" territory though.
Detroit isn't such a bad option. They're not great, but they should have an average EV +/- 1 point or so. I also like that their game is at home, and Tampa (despite their win) is in a perpetual state of disarray.
Hey Dylan,
You're the best.
Giants last week? Seriously?
Rolling with them this week.
Thanks for all the awesome advice.
Hi Dylan,
How much do the injuries for the Bears influence your thoughts on playing them? I've totally given up on them, and I drafted them about a round earlier that I probably should have (even assuming they were healthy). With Tillman out for possibly the season, all the playmakers seem to be gone from a unit that was built primarily on getting turnovers.

BEVERLY — At this point of the season, wins are a must to keep the Beverly High boys basketball team's playoff hopes alive.
The Panthers picked up a big one yesterday, 70-48, over visiting Lynn Classical yesterday. It was the second time in three days that the two teams had squared off, but this was a much different outcome than Friday night's tilt in Lynn.
Classical made only a trio of 3-pointers yesterday and was outscored 33-18 in the second half. Beverly (9-7) now needs two more wins to qualify for the postseason tournament.
"This was a really big game for us," said Panther senior Nick Cross, who led his team with 23 points and 13 rebounds. "We can build on this (against) Salem at home (tomorrow). We lost to them by four the first time we played and want to turn things around."
The Panthers led by five at the end of one quarter and were up by seven at the half, 37-30. They had opened up an 11-point cushion after an 8-0 run fueled by Cross, Jonathan Berchoff (14 points) and Chris Sinclair (14 points), but the Rams answered with the final four points before intermission.
Classical's Monte Wolfe (a team-high 14 points) hit two shots in a row to close the gap to three before Cross answered with a 3-point bomb. Beverly then switched from man-to-man defense to a zone, giving the Rams problems.
Berchoff, who had a dozen points in the first two quarters, picked up his fourth foul midway through the third and had to take a seat on the bench, but Sinclair provided a spark with an old-fashioned three point play. He followed that up with a driving layup that put his team ahead by nine heading into the fourth quarter.
"We went to a zone for two reasons. First because Berchoff had three fouls, and second because we wanted to throw a different look at them," said Panther head coach Scott Lewis. "It worked great except Berchoff picked up his fourth foul about 10 seconds after we made the switch.
