Threat/Vulnerability Assessments and Risk Analysis
Last updated: 10-19-2011
Within This Page
All facilities face a certain level of risk associated with various threats. These threats may be the result of natural events, accidents, or intentional acts to cause harm. Regardless of the nature of the threat, facility owners have a responsibility to limit or manage risks from these threats to the extent possible. The federal government has implemented the Interagency Security Committee (ISC) Security Design Criteria. The ISC Security Design Criteria states,
"The application of the Security Design Criteria is based on a project-specific risk assessment that looks at threat, vulnerability, and consequences, three important components of risk ... The building's specific security requirements should be based on a risk assessment—done at the earliest stages of programming ..."
Facility owners, particularly owners of public facilities, should adhere to similar security design criteria as those put forth in the ISC Security Design Criteria. Landlords who desire to lease space to federal government agencies must implement the ISC Security Design Criteria in the design of new facilities and/or the renovation of existing facilities.
A. Threat Assessment
The first step in a risk management program is a threat assessment. A threat assessment considers the full spectrum of threats (i.e., natural, criminal, terrorist, accidental, etc.) for a given facility/location. The assessment should examine supporting information to evaluate the likelihood of occurrence for each threat. For natural threats, historical data concerning frequency of occurrence for given natural disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, fire, or earthquakes can be used to determine the credibility of the given threat. For criminal threats, the crime rates in the surrounding area provide a good indicator of the type of criminal activity that may threaten the facility. In addition, the type of assets and/or activity located in the facility may also increase the target attractiveness in the eyes of the aggressor. The type of assets and/or activity located in the facility will also relate directly to the likelihood of various types of accidents. For example, a facility that utilizes heavy industrial machinery will be at higher risk for serious or life-threatening job related accidents than a typical office building.

For terrorist threats, the attractiveness of the facility as a target is a primary consideration. In addition, the type of terrorist act may vary based on the potential adversary and the method of attack most likely to be successful for a given scenario. For example, a terrorist wishing to strike against the federal government may be more likely to attack a large federal building than to attack a multi-tenant office building containing a large number of commercial tenants and a few government tenants. However, if security at the large federal building makes mounting a successful attack too difficult, the terrorist may be diverted to a nearby facility that may not be as attractive from an occupancy perspective, but has a higher probability of success due to the absence of adequate security. In general, the likelihood of terrorist attacks cannot be quantified statistically since terrorism is, by its very nature, random. Hence, when considering terrorist threats, the concept of developing credible threat packages is important.
B. Vulnerability Assessment
Once the credible threats are identified, a vulnerability assessment must be performed. The vulnerability assessment considers the potential impact of loss from a successful attack as well as the vulnerability of the facility/location to an attack. Impact of loss is the degree to which the mission of the agency is impaired by a successful attack from the given threat. A key component of the vulnerability assessment is properly defining the ratings for impact of loss and vulnerability. These definitions may vary greatly from facility to facility. For example, the amount of time that mission capability is impaired is an important part of impact of loss. If the facility being assessed is an Air Route Traffic Control Tower, a downtime of a few minutes may be a serious impact of loss, while for a Social Security office a downtime of a few minutes would be minor. A sample set of definitions for impact of loss is provided below. These definitions are for an organization that generates revenue by serving the public.
- Devastating: The facility is damaged/contaminated beyond habitable use. Most items/assets are lost, destroyed, or damaged beyond repair/restoration. The number of visitors to other facilities in the organization may be reduced by up to 75% for a limited period of time.
- Severe: The facility is partially damaged/contaminated. Examples include partial structure breach resulting in weather/water, smoke, impact, or fire damage to some areas. Some items/assets in the facility are damaged beyond repair, but the facility remains mostly intact. The entire facility may be closed for a period of up to two weeks and a portion of the facility may be closed for an extended period of time (more than one month). Some assets may need to be moved to remote locations to protect them from environmental damage. The number of visitors to the facility and others in the organization may be reduced by up to 50% for a limited period of time.
- Noticeable: The facility is temporarily closed or unable to operate, but can continue without an interruption of more than one day. A limited number of assets may be damaged, but the majority of the facility is not affected. The number of visitors to the facility and others in the organization may be reduced by up to 25% for a limited period of time.
- Minor: The facility experiences no significant impact on operations (downtime is less than four hours) and there is no loss of major assets.
Vulnerability is defined to be a combination of the attractiveness of a facility as a target and the level of deterrence and/or defense provided by the existing countermeasures. Target attractiveness is a measure of the asset or facility in the eyes of an aggressor and is influenced by the function and/or symbolic importance of the facility. Sample definitions for vulnerability ratings are as follows:
- Very High: This is a high profile facility that provides a very attractive target for potential adversaries, and the level of deterrence and/or defense provided by the existing countermeasures is inadequate.
- High: This is a high profile regional facility or a moderate profile national facility that provides an attractive target and/or the level of deterrence and/or defense provided by the existing countermeasures is inadequate.
- Moderate: This is a moderate profile facility (not well known outside the local area or region) that provides a potential target and/or the level of deterrence and/or defense provided by the existing countermeasures is marginally adequate.
- Low: This is not a high profile facility and provides a possible target and/or the level of deterrence and/or defense provided by the existing countermeasures is adequate.
The vulnerability assessment may also include detailed analysis of the potential impact of loss from an explosive, chemical, or biological attack. Professionals with specific training and experience in these areas are required to perform these detailed analyses. A sample of the type of output that can be generated by a detailed explosive analysis is shown in Figure 2. This graphic representation of the potential damage to a facility from an explosive attack allows a building owner to quickly interpret the results of the analysis, although a more fully detailed and quantitative engineering response would be required to design a retrofit upgrade. In addition, similar representations can be used to depict the response of an upgraded facility to the same explosive threat. This allows a building owner to interpret the potential benefit that can be achieved by implementing various structural upgrades to the building frame, wall, roof, and/or windows.
Fig. 2. Sample output from detailed explosive analysis: glazing hazard in existing facility (left) and glazing hazard in upgraded facility (right)
C. Risk Analysis
A combination of the impact of loss rating and the vulnerability rating can be used to evaluate the potential risk to the facility from a given threat. A sample risk matrix is depicted in Table 1. High risks are designated by the red cells, moderate risks by the yellow cells, and low risks by the green cells.
Table 1. Matrix identifying levels of risk
|Vulnerability to Threat
|Impact of Loss
|Very High
The ratings in the matrix can be interpreted using the explanation shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Interpretation of the risk ratings
|These risks are high. Countermeasures recommended to mitigate these risks should be implemented as soon as possible.
|These risks are moderate. Countermeasure implementation should be planned in the near future.
|These risks are low. Countermeasure implementation will enhance security, but is of less urgency than the above risks.
D. Upgrade Recommendations
Based on the findings from the risk analysis, the next step in the process is to identify countermeasure upgrades that will lower the various levels of risk. If minimum standard countermeasures for a given facility level are not currently present, these countermeasures should automatically be included in the upgrade recommendations. Additional countermeasure upgrades above the minimum standards should be recommended as necessary to address the specific threats identified for the facility. The estimated capital cost of implementing the recommended countermeasures is usually provided in the threat/vulnerability assessment report. The estimated installation and operating costs for the recommended countermeasures are also usually provided in the threat/vulnerability assessment report. All operating costs are customarily estimated on a per year basis.
E. Re-Evaluation of Risks
The implementation of the recommended security and/or structural upgrades should have a positive effect on the impact of loss and/or the vulnerability ratings for each threat. The final step in the process is to re-evaluate these two ratings for each threat in light of the recommended upgrades. Using an exterior explosive threat as an example, the installation of window retrofits (i.e., security window film, laminated glass, etc.) will not prevent the explosive attack from occurring, but it should reduce the impact of loss/injury caused by hazardous flying glass. Therefore, the impact of loss rating for an explosive threat would improve, but the vulnerability rating would stay the same.
Fig. 3. These photos depict two windows subjected to a large explosion. The unprotected window on the left fails catastrophically. The protected window on the right retains glass fragments and poses a significantly lower hazard to occupants.
F. Summary
The overall threat/vulnerability and risk analysis methodology is summarized by the following flowchart.
Fig. 4. Flowchart depicting the basic risk assessment process
Threat/vulnerability assessments and risk analysis can be applied to any facility and/or organization. The federal government has been utilizing varying types of assessments and analyses for many years. Currently, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Protective Service of the Department of Homeland Security are utilizing a methodology entitled Federal Security Risk Management (FSRM). This process is basically the methodology described in this Resource Page. GSA is using the process to assess over 8,000 federally owned and/or leased facilities. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has also adapted this same methodology to assess over 700 facilities housing IRS employees. Other agencies that have used this process to assess some of their facilities include the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Smithsonian Institution. The Social Security Administration has also trained over 50 of its facility managers and security specialists to apply this process. Finally, the Department of Homeland Security intends to use the FSRM process throughout the many agencies under its control.

I don't think most of us can explain why we REALLY do or do not like people, much less why other people do. I do think that Johnny inspires such a response because he symbolizes something to people, but what that something is varies. And I don't think it pays to try to figure it out, either.
I realized a while back that Johnny reminds me very much of someone I used to know, and that my reactions to him are really reactions to that other person. It's not something you would ever figure out about me; you don't know me well enough. It took me a long time to figure it out for myself.
It's not just Johnny. The strong visceral reactions to Rachael Flatt, for example, indicate to me that she also symbolizes something to people. I don't know what it is, exactly, although sometimes I wonder if she is some sort of stand-in for all the "less worthy" people who have somehow gotten ahead at the expense of some posters, but I don't think that's true for all of them or even most of them, and I don't know which ones it is true for, if any.
And in the end, no matter why they dislike Rachael or Johnny or whoever, the bottom line is that they dislike them, period.

REO, I think I love you. Yep, I'm not you. Im your uber!
RE the back-and-forth on the gene pool comment. It originated from mmscfdcsus #15 post, in GSDs Johnny will not compete thread, and my quoting mmscfdcsu in that thread is just an example of my throwing back a stinger but it seemed to have stung elsewhere.
REO quoted it and then I did too, with a slight word change, only I neglected to put the phrase in quotes, silly me! Doubt I could have come up with that original zinger all on my own. Sorry to disappoint, overedge.
Not that Im making fun of anyones serious, well thought out, sincerely expressed comments, but this thread somehow reminds me of musical chairs, and of the childhood game of whispering in someones ear and seeing how by the time the words have been whispered one to the next down the line into 20 separate kids ears, the original words come out completely different in a crazy, kaleidoscope kinda way.
@antmanb re your post #287 in this thread: Ive given [Johnny] crap on this board for being closeted Oh well, I have seen this expressed before on Internet sites, not necessarily just on FSU either -- but, Johnny closeted. When? Do you mean b/c he didnt call a press conference to confess being gay, after he won his first Nationals? Who among the many gay skaters in figure skating (besides Rudy Galindo) have ever confessed to being gay during their eligible career? What is it exactly that makes you describe Johnny as having been closeted? Not to start anymore arguments: just askin. IMHO, Johnny has often taken the heat for being a flamboyant [ term for gay] outspoken skater, and as a result some of the more rigid attitudes regarding how gay skaters should present themselves on the ice, have become a bit more relaxed.
If Johnny ever wandered into this thread, which I doubt, I can imagine him having a huge laugh and/ or shaking his head incredulously. Johnny to Tara: Wow, what rhymes with polarizing. :ROFL: Doubt Johnny has the time to waste time here though. Hes probably too busy thinking of the next polarizing thing he can do or say. Hes just so d**n polarizing. Seriously, I doubt Johnny intentionally tries to be polarizing. He just tends to do and say what he wants. Thats how he lives his life, which is enough I guess to make him a polarizing figure. The term, btw, reminds me of another even more public figure often described as polarizing, Hillary Clinton. Hmmm those polarizing people can be so annoying, with the way they go about movin and shakin things up, and changing the world. In Johnnys case, the very insular world of figure skating. Believe it or not, like him or not. Things is what they is. Excuse my grammatical incorrectness, and also my unfortunate usage in a previous post here of the term, level the playing field. Definitely a wrong choice of words, as truthfully, who cares about a level playing field? Thats so boring, and unrealistic.
And your thoughts remind me of what I have said here many times before: these polarizing discussions end up not being about Johnny after all, but instead, are reflective of who we are.
As I expressed in the similar GSD thread: Thanks Johnny! We barely knew ye.
Hope my comments are not too repeated and lengthy a discourse for ya Jenny, on poor, persecuted Johnny. That Johnny fella! When will he ever get a life ? Hmmmm, maybe a cue for many of us to get up from the computer screen, and take a good, long look in the mirror, eh?

Johnny will be in the cast of Fantasy on Ice on July 2&3 in Fukuoka, Japan. Cast includes Lambiel, Verner, Ando, Oda, and more.

Johnny to be the face of MAC cosmetics holiday line.
I specifically gave Johnny crap for being "closeted" when he very publically got GLAAD all riled up about his supposed issues with SOI. As a gay person it felt hypocrtical to get a gay rights organisation to fight his battles for him, when he would still not stand up and say he was gay. That was pretty much it. No big deal.
It took Johnny a long time to say "I'm gay," but he never tried to hide either. You could say GLAAD should only support people who identify as LGBT, or you could argue that it should fight homophobia in any form, even if it's against someone who isn't openly gay. I should mention that whether SOI was actually being homophobic is still up for debate, though I think it was GLAAD's perception of homophobia, and not Johnny's. I don't want to stir the pot on this argument, though, as I hope it's pretty much simmered down.
In other news, Johnny has become more vocal about LGBT issues lately, and I think better late than never, although he never had any obligation to be an activist. Tonight he's appearing at the Trevor Project fundraiser.
Would this affect how he's judged? I don't think so. If it was well-known in the skating world the whole time, what difference does it make if he makes it official? It's not like it's going to damage the sport, because non-fans think most of the men in skating must be gay anyway.
If anything, I think his days in the closet - with the door wide open apparently - only served to annoy people like the USFSA in the context of his ongoing quest to be different and refusal to play along with the rest of them. If I were the USFSA, I'd have zero problem with Johnny's sexuality - it would be everything else that he did or might have done making me worry about the image of the organization and sport.
Repeated drug references, particularly in the context of what using them is like, naturally leads the listener to think the speaker has some experience in using drugs. I'm not saying that Johnny ever did drugs - the point is that he threw around the language for effect, and tried to be cool or something by sounding like he knew what he was talking about. I can see where the USFSA would have a problem with that, more so than the likely possibility that he was gay, which was the point of my post.
That being said, I'm sure the USFSA and SOI don't like the jokes about drugs because it doesn't give the family friendly image they want to project.

I watched a NE Patriots game vs the Jets recently and learned that the Jets have a player named D'Brickashaw Ferguson. Please, don't name any more babies D'Brickashaw!
Remember Destiny Hooker, the seriously fierce volleyball player from the Olympics? Bad name, totally awesome volleyball player.
"Grandpa Ethan, how come Grandma Hashtag has such a weird first name?"
"Well, John, once, a very long time ago, there was such a thing as Twitter and...."
My husband's aunt, named by her off the boat parents (one from Poland, one from Germany) named her Jadwiga, and her brother Ignatius Stanislaus, my husband's favorite uncle.
They renamed themselves Mickey and Duke.
My husband wanted to name our youngest son Ignatius Stanislaus after his uncle. I refused to go along with that one...: Naming our eldest after his father & grandfather Ludwig Simnon was quite enough. I mean there is a reason Mr. Ski goes by Ski & his dad went by Louis, not to mention Mickey & Duke.
Louis, Mickey & Duke all renamed themselves when they hit elementary school. Which I hope is something that Hashtag, Destony, and some of the other children mentioned in this thread do.
I worked for a short time for a company that sold contact lenses over the phone and online. I'm not sure why, but everyone used aliases. We had a Stormee, Ayshia, Ram, Mistye, and other names that sounded like porn stars. One kid in my training class named himself Dawson, as he liked Dawson's Creek, which was one of the more humdrum names. When asked for my alias, I went with Jane Peabody, which sounds very competent to me. The trainer seemed to be somewhat put out, and demanded to know what kind of stupid name is that? I always wondered why these folks didn't work in adult phone chat.
I always liked Germanic names like Helga, Ludwig, and Wolfgang, myself.
Helga will always make me think of Helga Pataki
On the Australian series of Kath and Kim (not the rancid American version that just totally didn't work), when Kim was pregnant and they were looking t names they found some "interesting and unique" ones after a day at the hospital. Names such as Papiloma, Enema, Lupus (for a boy)...
I guess the hard thing for a lot of people to accept is why God would allow me to go running through their yards, yelling and spinning around.
Certainly not one of the recent Top 30 girls and boys names in my country, even though I actually like some of them. It should be a unique and beautiful name, probably rare, on the other hand not too eccentric, of course.


text: The interesting thing is didn't Mirai used to have a flutz? And now she gets edge calls on her flip....it's very strange really. You wonder if trying to fix her flutz affected her flip. As for the leg wrap, I've noticed that a little bit too, but it's not that pronounced. It's funny how UR issues seem to be common among ladies with Japanese heritage, surely it's a coincidence, but still a trend nonetheless.

The delicate design and romantic feel of this enhancer is uniquely feminine and fashionable. A center stone of white agate is accented by a lacy design of rose-gold plated copper. A gleaming sterling silver frame and bail provide extra eye appeal. The white agate gemstone provides a refined look and goes with virtually anything. A feminine complement to almost any outfit, this enhancer from the Blushing Joy collection measures 2-1/4" long x 1-1/4" wide with a small snap hinge bail. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
A field of delicate flowers ripples softly in the breeze, creating a scene of romance and wonder. The feminine appeal of soft pink and white gemstones is enhanced by a warm palette of mixed metal—sterling silver and rose-gold plated copper dancing in harmony in a sophisticated floral design.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Methodology in the Social Sciences Series
Edited by Todd D. Little, PhD
This series provides applied researchers and students with analysis and research design books that emphasize the use of methods to answer research questions. Rather than emphasizing statistical theory, each volume in the series illustrates when a technique should (and should not) be used and how the output from available software programs should (and should not) be interpreted. Common pitfalls as well as areas of further development are clearly articulated.
Several titles in the series include extensive downloadable files and online resources.

How many convicts give an interview to media right after the guilty verdict? This is bizzare.
How many convicts give an interview to media right after the guilty verdict? This is bizzare.
How many are actively pursued?
I think that if she receives the death penalty there is an automatic appeal on her behalf? Lawyers can you tell me.
Don't know about AZ, but in CA, there is one appeal of right, directly to the Supreme Court, which must hear it (and decide it). If affirmed, they can ask the SCOTUS to review the case, but this request is usually denied. Usually, there is also a petition for habeas corpus filed within a year after the appeal is decided .... this is where new evidence can be presented (if any) whereas appeals are limited to the transcripts of the trial.
I was surprised to hear that Jodi was surprised by the verdict.. really?
why? if you are a defendant, you need to believe that you will be acquitted. otherwise you would plead guilty.
Regarding Castro and what he will do - obviously the reports say that he is admitting to a great deal of horrible things/crimes. I think that he might be setting up for the mental illness thing. And I believe that there is good reason for the 8 mil bail. He might not flee but I am pretty sure that he would do harm/suicide. There is also a reason he is on suicide watch in prison.
re: the interview and "make-up" prior to the interview, the local Fox network is the one who got the interview right? I would bet that they sought and got an "exclusive interview heard only here on channel _____" prior to the end of the trial. And probably gave her the make-up person to do her hair/make-up. I know in some high profile murder trials in my area there have been the "scoop" news interview after the trial.
FWIW - I am glad that the jury found her guilty, not only because I thought she was guilty of pre-mediated murder in a particularly heinous manner, but to appease all of you who would take out your anger/frustration on how stupid the jury was.
Our legal system was set up to have a jury of your peers determine based upon evidence provided that you have done something, in this case murder, without a reasonable doubt that the crime was committed by that person. If the prosecution does not erase that doubt or they do something that presents itself as a reasonable doubt (if the glove does not fit, you can not convict - puts a reasonable doubt in one's mind). Sitting on a murder trial is not something that is easy to do. My dad did. He has agonize for 50 years over the outcome, which was indeed to find the man guilty. IT IS NOT EASY. and to sit on a jury is a privilege not something to get out of. Any of these high profile cases deserve a jury who will listen and weigh the possibilities not a jury that convicts before they are seated based upon the media reporting prior to and during the trial.
What really irked me about the whole Casey Anthony trial is how everyone was so sure they'd come up with a different verdict while sitting in the courtroom, listening to all the evidence away from the media hooplah and Nancy Grace-types out there. I mean, people are people and in these types of settings, nobody is really extraordinary or extra special.
Awwwwwww... She was initially held in the Estrella Facility. While there, the other inmates wanted to...
meet her...(star treatment)
hug her...(star treatment)

The Spanish word for star? Estrella!

Right now the jury is deliberating on "life or death" for Jodi. My guess is she will get life without parole.
I'm pretty sure that's the next phase. Right now they're deliberating whether or not the elements that would support a death penalty are there.
3539 and counting.
Slightly Wounding Banana list cont: MacMadame.
Jodi looking all toady ...
because Juan won!
I just heard that Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott wanted off the case but the mostion was denied by the judge. I am not sure what pissed them off, the interview after the verdict or.
Is it just me or does time-management seem to be something that this court does not take very seriously? $12 per day for jurors?
I've NEVER seen a case with so many dark court days, postponements, early recesses, sudden illnesses, witness scheduling conflicts, hastily arranged hearings in judge's chambers, etc. I mean...this case has been going on since one day after New year's Day for Pete's sake! And why do the jurors need EVERY Friday off? This will turn prospective jurors off even MORE in the future. Sheesh!!!

Okay, as you might know already, Im the new guy without a clue. As I have previously stated, Ive been living in a cave for the last 30-some-odd years. My previous experience comes only from a 10-year old Onkyo HTiB (HT-R500). I am slowly transitioning to the TSi line. I have a CS20 over top of the Mitsubishi TV and a pair of TSi200s on their way to me now. I also have a Klipsch RW-12D sub. I am currently running a pretty limited Yamaha RX-V371 AVR (next to be replaced after the speakers).
Music is almost always playing in my house, however it is 90% Pandora and 10% off iTunes via an AppleTV box. However, I do really enjoy my movies too. My collection has been described as overwhelming. I am looking to get away from the poorly recorded music and learn to experience it as close I can to how it was intended to be heard. Which leads me to my problem and I turn to you all for some suggestions.
My living room (the only room available to do this and central room in the house), is acoustically inept. It is approximately 20x13 with a large opening to the dining room and an stairwell with a half-wall. Due to the built-in bookshelves and woodstove at one end and the large window adjacent to it, there was really only one location that made sense (to me) to put the TV. I have attached a sketch of the layout as it currently sits.
I could really use some suggestions as to improvements and modifications as I replace the speakers. The current surrounds are on cheap metal stands and will be replaced by the 200s. I am concerned about finding a quality (yet reasonably priced single father remember?) stand that is tall enough to accomplish this. Everything that I have found so far is fairly short. I understand that perfection is unachievable and serious concessions will have to be made. Building an addition for a media room is out of the question until I win big on that lottery that I never play.
So get your creative minds out and throw me some feedback, suggestions, and recommendations. Oh, and one last thing. I have been eyeing up the TSi500s for up front, but the 400s were just listed on Polk Direct eBay site. Any reason not to wait for the 500s?

Fog and Redwoods
Posted by Bruce Robinson in weather , water , trees , Science , research , parks , history , environment , education , coast , climate change , California
A new analysis finds there are fewer foggy days along the Northern California coast than there were 100 years ago. That's bad news for the venerable coast redwoods.
In addition to charting a reduction in the number of foggy days over the past century, U.C. Berkeley researcher Todd E. Dawson says their study also found fewer hours of foggy conditions on the days when the mist was present.
In their analysis, Dawson and his colleague, James Johnstone, found there was a relationship between drought years and fog conditions, but it's not what one might expect.
Read the abstract of their published paper on this research here.

Assumption powers past Goodman-Pembine to return to state
Submitted: 03/15/2014
Play Video
- The final state tournament of the winter sports season is in girls basketball. Many teams trying to punch their tickets today. Goodman-Pembine faced last years state champ Assumption in the sectional finals.
Both schools students traveled well to D.C. Everest. Check out the Royals decked out in neon colors dancing and loving the atmosphere.
2nd quarter Macie Zurfluh with the bounce pass down low to Brittney Birkhauser. She lays it in to give Assumption a 14 point lead.
But the Patriots started to chip away. They pass it around to Courtney Goyak and she powers up for the bucket that pulls them within 8.
Time winding down in the half Sadie Zurfluh puts one up at the buzzer and hits the long two. Royals led by a 12 at the break.
In the 3rd quarter, Rachel Stankevich bounces it to Marissa Moloney and she gets the friendly bounce.
But the Royals pulled out to a big lead. Jenny Wanta up ahead to Gena Grundhoffe for the layin. Assumption is headed back to the Resch Center beating Goodman Pembine, 58-34 the final.

The Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Trail was officially dedicated on July 17th at the VFW Post 8491 in Prentice. The idea came up at a Price County Commanders call, a meeting made up of all the post commanders and commissioners for Price County, and this monument is anything but 'little'.

- Instead of just dreaming of being a firefighter, some children in Merrill actually got to try it out.
The Boys and Girls Club of Wausau went to Northcentral Technical College's Public Safety Center of Excellence in Merrill on Wednesday to explore careers in emergency fields.
"They're going to do one scenario where they're actually going to get put up into fire gear. And they're going to hook up a hose line on a fire truck and they're going to put out a dumpster fire," says Bert Nitzke, the Executive Director of Northcentral Technical College's Public Safety Center of Excellence.
Student's putting out the fire's say it was more difficult than it looked.
"It's kinda hard cause like the hose is pushing back really hard," says Jordyn Schalow, one of the students that took part in the training.
Students also got to experience EMS and police scenarios.

Possible threat to potatoes

- Farmers in Central Wisconsin need to keep a close eye on their potatoes.
Agricultural leaders from UW-Extension received a report of late blight from a farm in Portage County. Late blight is a disease that can kill potato and tomato crops.
The blight was found last week near Stevens Point, and leaders are worried about it spreading into Langlade County. Late blight can spread out several miles though the wind and the water. Agriculture experts in Langlade say there are certain things that you can do to protect your crops.
"Go out and scout them, look at them, we would like you to also spray protectants," says UW-Extension Agriculture Agent Stephanie Plaster. "Home gardeners should be spraying a copper or chlorothalonil-based spray. There are also organic copper sprays available for folks that would like to remain organic."

Baldwin introduces bill to create more VA doctors
Submitted: 07/24/2014
- U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin has introduced legislation aimed at increasing the number of doctors at Veterans Affairs medical centers and reducing wait times.
The Wisconsin Democrat said in a statement Thursday that the bill would create 2,000 residency positions over five years at Veterans Affairs hospitals nationwide. Residency is the next step in doctors' training following medical school.
The bill also would require the VA to allocate the residency positions based on doctor shortages at its facilities and to prioritize training for specialists who are needed.

Oneida County wants your opinion on boathouses and piers
Submitted: 07/24/2014
Play Video
- Leaders in Oneida County want to know what you think of boathouses and piers on lakes in the county. The online survey they've put together could give them better information on the issues.
Planning and zoning workers say the two topics have been debated for years. Oneida County Planning & Zoning's Karl Jennrich says the county started allowing boathouses and regulating piers in 2000 when it rewrote its comprehensive plan.
The board looked at both topics a year ago, but didn't take any action to change current rules.

Program focuses on possible climate change in the Northwoods
Submitted: 07/24/2014
Play Video
- A warming climate could challenge many of the plants and animals that live in the Northwoods.
People in Boulder Junction learned about some of those risks at the Community Center Thursday night.
The speaker says even though we've had harsh winters these past two years, the lack of ice in the long term could impact fish, evaporation rate and skiing.
"Winter's kind of the limiting factor of the Northwoods. So when you reduce winter, those species that are adapted to being here in this kind of winter, they're going to move further north and actually follow where the winter is because, it's hard to believe, but a lot of species can't live in warmer temperatures," said Naturalist John Bates.

Therefore, we should not pass judgment on people. We should treat others the same way we want to be treated. No hating...No judgment.
We are all imperfect souls. So we should not expect other people to be something we are not.

I think the next 11 months are going to be the hardest months of my life. This is hitting me hard because i was just at your One Night Only Show with Axe music and was blessed enough to be in the front row and be able to wipe you down with my towel all night! It was the best night of my life! I will never forget when you took the towel from me, placed it on a chair and brought it back to me during another song. It was too sweet! I appreciated it because you didn't have to bring it back.
I will ALWAYS be a fan of your Tip and it hurts because I know I'm going to be defending you till the end for the next 11 months and i'm not worried because I know you're going to come back harder than before! GOD is Good and this is only a minor setback! My dream is to be able to collaborate with you in the future and by the grace of GOD it will happen because i will continue to speak it into existency!
Keep your head up Tip and know that #TeamTip has your back! To all the Tip fans...if you are TRULY a fan, now is NOT the time for judgement, it is a time for LOVE and SUPPORT. I love you Tip and you and your family will always be in my prayers and in my heart! =)

iPad 2, Will it blend? [video]
Tired of all the recent iPad 2 coverage? Well the guys over a Blendtec have just released a video for the iPad 2 version of Will it blend?
If you haven't seen these videos before, they basically involve a guy in a lab coat sticking an expensive item of tech in a blender. This one is hard to watch, especially if your still waiting to get your hands on an iPad 2, it's such a waste!
This video is based around the iPad 2 Apple keynote, but still has the usual outcome. Check out the video after the break.
There are 65 comments. Add yours.
I love these, despite the fact that they're wasting an iPad....
I was wondering when this was coming. These are getting pretty stupid now. This guy should put his hand in there let's see that blend. That would be funny.
It will blend, I know cause I blended my finger.
these videos are so stupid. i really dont get it...
Yeah these vids were funny like 5 years ago....ummm on second thought, no they weren't.
It's called marketing. People go on YouTube and search for iPad 2 and his video pops up. People click the link and say, "wow that is one hell of a blender". Then they look into the blender and find out it is $600. I would have never known about this blender had he not made all these videos. So.... his marketing worked for someone. :)
If you have a need to blend iPads, then this is the tool. If you're a chef, get a Vitamix!
iPad is a waste
You being born was a waste :)
WOW!!! Millions of people waiting in line to use a great tool. And this A-Hole goes and breaks it. Wait of time!!!
Partly right. Just replace "tool" with "toy" and you've got it 100%.
How about saving that $500+ you wasted on senselessly destroying something and donating it to a charity like the Red Cross for Japan? This waste makes me sick.
You do know they get paid for blending this stuff right? So spending $500+ on the iPad to blend it, results in thousands of dollars from ad revenue, which can go to the Red Cross in Japan.
I thought these videos were made by the company who builds those blenders to promote their product.
Giving $500 would not have folks talking about it like this is.
Blending the iPad is not the best. I would prefer to see it ran over and then shot like skeet. That would be cool.
PS - When you buy your iPad, you can do with it what you want. If you want to trash it, fine. If you want to use it, fine. Do not get upset because someone does with theirs what you would not do with yours.
Just don't burn it. That's bad for the environment. Make sure it's recyclable after it's broken!
Why doesn't everyone stop wasting their money on soda's and junk food and give that money to the red cross? $500.00 at once or 1.50 at a time. Same difference.
I want one of these blenders
Will this site blend?
Or any site?
Hmmm I am not sure if it is possible to blend a website, that is a good question.
What an absolute waste of my time, you're time and an iPad. I was going to reply to MacBoy 15, but then saw Strosnider, myphone and GregFosters posts and they have equally good posts. Completely pointless! TK do you really think it makes a difference if they get paid? As if they would donate the money to red cross, highly unlikely. They should stop these videos now, there are so UNFUNNY!!! What would be funny is if he put his head in one of those blenders!!!
Surely you wasted your own time? After all, no-one's forcing you to watch it. In fact, that goes for any internet video, you have a choice.
I did, I said that at the beginning. I regret viewing it hence my name!!! Still a waste of time and money. A bit over the top but that could have gone to a school who would use it in eduacation, a valuable use. Who cares if it blends? Of course it would. What do we gain from that? Some schools cannot afford them and that to me outlines why it is a waste of so much, regardless if I wasted my time watching it. I will NEVER watch one of theirs again!!!
ummm.. your comment wasted my time..
people make videos, deal with it.
I'm guessing that you never buy unnecessary things like extra food or something,
you would clearly give that to japan or charity or something.
One ipad bought by a company has no impact on schools or whatever you think they could use that ipad for.
And on a side note,why do you think they wouldn't donate money to red cross?
all companies do that and they dont do it to get in the media or anything, theyre just nice.
I'm not watching it, giving him more views will only fuel this foolishness.
Yeah, because you not watching it will stop them from blending iPhone 5.
'I'm not watching it, giving him more views will only fuel this foolishness."
Yeah, and I'm not buying anymore products made in China. I think we both know that's darn near impossible.
I fail to see the relevance in this comment?
He (or she) means that one-person boycotts are pretty pointless and completely ineffective in accomplishing the boycotter's goals. And as for living a life "not buying products made in China" it's almost impossible. A very large percentage of products on store shelves these days were either assembled there, or had component parts assembled there, or contain raw materials sourced from there, or had some other affect on the Chinese economy (such as being sourced or produced elsewhere by a company or companies with ties to China). Also, Chinese people need jobs too.
Yeah Dionte you are just such an important person that your rebellious attitude will have large magnitude of influence on tech blending. What a tool.
Hahahahaha this was hilarious! Lol
They guy playing Steve jobs needed "new balance" shoes tho!
And bill gates calling at the end... #priceless.. Lol
To everyone complaining about yourselves not getting an iPad 2 after waiting in line, you should have gotten there earlier lol.
They're promoting their product at the expense of someone elses, nothing wrong with that!
"To everyone complaining about yourselves not getting an iPad 2 after waiting in line, you should have gotten there earlier"
Agree 100%. The only people to blame is themselves. However, they can't, so they get mad at a man blending an iPad...
I can see the value in a site like iFixit where they take something apart in the intreats of examining it. But this is just senseless destruction. They're the "jack Ass" of tech ( and that's not a compliment)
Take the money and use it towards the releif efforts in Japan... Or sponsor a child in a developing country... Donate it to a local charity... why waste for the sake of waste?
Can we add all devices into the below article.
I've read articles and seen videos of bloggers and writers testing devices in real work scenarios; like dropping, or accidentally getting toss in a washer or dryer ( and even that gave me mixed emotions). But it's not like I'm going accidentally drop my iPad or anywhere device for that matter into my blender accidentally while I make a protein shake.
Seriously, if there is no value in the exercise...then it's all for attention.
I say again, sad.
grrrrrrr, this is ridiculous! I think its pretty stupid of them to post this on the web when there are so many people waiting for one. Me being one of them.
Now I know why they are sold out everywhere....
I think these stupid are evils.
Apple had done needed testing in the design phase. I can not understand the motive of this kind of work. I saved for six months to buy my iPad.
The voice at the end of the video sounded more like Ballmer then Gates. :)
Guys/Gals it's only an iPad they are blending. Not a small child. Calm down a little bit. :)
Wow. You guys complain a lot. It's marketing for a blender. That money was going to be used making a commercial or Internet ads anyway. There is no reason to be mad at the company or this website for posting the video. Besides, for all we know, they have donated to the relief effort. Give it a rest. Yes, the video was stupid but who cares what they do to the iPad. If you want one, you'll get it eventually.
exactly a the blenders cost more then that ipad. And a post on the web means they'll probably sell hundreds of blenders.
What a fag
What's idiotic about this, is a "serious" forum like tipb posting this video, and feeding the stupidity of these people. And I know that they're not forcing us to watch the damn thing, which by the way I did not, but then why waste our precious time with this crap.
I personally think this ad campaign is brilliant, there is sooo much discussion every time he puts out one of these videos.
If he just blended fruit, who would watch it?? Everyone knows now these blenders are badas$... I see them all over the place(commercial)... If I could afford one I'd get one for home.
His blending of the iphone4, got over 9 million views. So $500 iphone4 translated to 9 million views and a whole lot of discussion...
What is stupid is paying millions for a superbowl commercial.
Since the last time you posted many videos of people destroying iPhones, and ipads, and finally stopped showing them, I never thought you would sink to that low again. I was wrong. So TiPb to quote Bill E "Here's your sign".
It's certainly a crazy publicity stunt. However, if you want a really good blender to use for what blenders SHOULD be used for, I'd recommend a VitaMix. This blender, while it can obviously obliterate tech equipment looks like garbage for actual kitchen use. And yes, these expensive blenders are really worth it if you cook a lot.
I cook also, and nothing will beat the VitaMix. They are worth the investment. Sorry to be off subject, but will all the great cooking apps in the app store, had to agree on the VitaMix
You people ,really don't like comedy...
Wow..what a waste.
I honestly do NOT get why they spend TONS of money just to see if something blends. OBVIOUSLY, it will eventually!
And this discussion is exactly why they do it. The coments below the video were even more funny: One guy said MURDERER, another wanted to smith the blended iPad. WTF?
Why don't they blend some Droid or a Windows Phone? People wouldn't take it that personal as we apple lovers do. Saw the video yesterday, it was funny, allthough it's a waste of ressources. And he blended one Google Nexus Laptop in another vid right before.
After all it's a good ad campaign for the iPad2 and for Blendtec. People talk about these vids, they even get posted to hater sites.
I would love to see Windows7 or Vista blended though. We all know what the better opperating system is, right?
Sent from my iMac
That is wonderful and best ipad for everyone
" who is this ? " ... " it's bill ! " lmaoo
