Musings of a Wolves Fan... (10/10/07)
T-Wolves -vs- Celtics (10.10.07)
I didn't know if I was going to recap this game tonight or not... however, after watching the game with Bonk, I couldn't help myself but bring back the "Musings of a Wolves Fan..." series by Yours Truly. This presentation is brought to you by DVR and my computer, god bless technology.
I'm not gonna lie, we didn't look very good. With that said, it's only our second pre-season game. It's in London. We are playing the paper champion Boston Celtics. I didn't expect us to dominate. Being that this was our second game, with a team composed of a plethora of new players, I'm not going to delve too deep into what we did wrong or focus solely on the negatives. We've still got more than half a month of training camp to work out the kinks, establish a set rotation and pecking order, cut some guys, make trades, find a new coach, etc. (Yes, I am aware this team has a long ways to go.) Am I confident in our Front Office and Coach Wittman's ability to ready this cluster**** of a roster into a cohesive unit come November 2nd? I'm not sure yet. I'll have to get back to you on that. We'll keep this "Musings" on the lighter side, there's still an entire season left for spewing negativity. Don't get me wrong, I like most of our roster and I think we've got great potential... I just hope that our Front Office, coaching staff, and the players can eventually put it all together at some point.
Click "Read More..." for thoughts and analysis.
- My first thought was, wow... the new look Celtics sure look pretty darn good. The green sure seems to suit KG and Ray Allen quite well. I heard Paul Pierce lost about 15 pounds this summer. I'm not so sure, he looked to be packing some neck fat.
- KG's first trip to the free throw line goes something like this. Misses the shot and is denied fist pounds by Rondo and Perkins. Uh-oh. That's not something I'd ever do. Gotta stay on his good side. If I was on the Celtics, I'd go out of my way to give KG pounds. "Hey Kevin, can I carry your luggage? How about a fist pound? Where you eating tonight? Want another fist pound? You played awesome again. Let's do a double pound this time..." Rondo and Perkins will learn.
- Is Coach Doc "Glen" Rivers going to play his "Big 3" the entire first quarter? My god. It's the second pre-season game! You should be thinking championship, not trying to impress the Brits. A graphic flashed on the screen showing that the "Big 3" all played like 33 or so minutes the FIRST pre-season game. WHAT?!?! No one on the Raptors (their opponent) played more than 24 minutes. My lord.
- Nope, looks like Ray Allen got a break. Pierce and KG get a 12 second rest before the end of the first quarter. I was hoping they'd stay in.
- Ricky Davis had 18 points in the first half, 16 in the first quarter I believe. He didn't play much of the second quarter at all. Contract year!
- Does McCants ever not complain? He's complaining to the ref after a terrible drive, thinking he got fouled. In reality, he's too slow and seems to have lost his lift. He wasn't fouled, yet complains to the ref about it instead of running back to play defense. This will happen more than once over the course of the game. Also, note his displeasure whenever a defensive foul is called against him. "What? Me? How can you call a foul on me when I wasn't even playing defense in the first place!"
- WHERE is the Big Al post up? Did it get lost between the cushions? Shouldn't he be one of the primary focuses of our offense? Not much went through him in the first half. It's not Jefferson's fault. Our players either can't make an entry pass or Wittman just isn't drawing up plays for him. 'Tis a shame.
- I sure hope that Foye can live up to his self proclaimed "leader of this team" statement. Our "leader" went from KG (last season), to a point guard that isn't really a point guard (this season.) Maybe he's hurt... I dunno. I guess some websites are saying he's got "knee tendonitis", which seems to me another excuse for "I'm tired, London sucks, let's go home." In all seriousness, I saw more stagnant offense, bad shot selection, and errant passes. All stuff I was worried about last season. I hope he can pull it together. Our only other point guard is "New York point GOD" Sebastion Telfair. Gulp.
- Just a little more griping, be patient. Does McCants ever even move when he doesn't have the ball? I don't think so. Does he really do anything out there? Oh wait... He can shoot, he can drive, he can stand around an NBA three-point line clapping for the ball, and he can stand around a college three-point line. Far too much standing around. I could go out there and stand and clap for 1/100th of the cost. It's beyond frustrating. He's terrible. In case anyone new is reading this, yes, I am very "anti-McCants." I'm sorry, I just don't see it. Please don't play him over Brewer or Gerald Green this season. I know GG is a volume shooter and has a low basketball IQ, I don't care. He is MUCH more athletic than McCants and his upside is through the roof. I'd take him any day of the week over an undersized SG (McCants) that is slow and has lost his explosiveness.
- Overall Marko played decent out there. Not great, but decent. One thing that boggled my mind was that he was playing point guard. Didn't our Front Office learn from that failed experiment two seasons ago? I guess not. I liked when he tried to post up Rondo though, before the ball was hit away.
- The Celtics had some great team ball movement at times. KG and Perkins are two solid passing big men. Well, KG is awesome and Perkins is serviceable, which averages them out to "solid" as a pair.
- The Ryan Gomes mancrush is on like donkey kong. Well, it has actually been "on" for quite some time now... The rest of the free world will slowly but surely find out about how great Gomes truly is, which is what I've been saying for quite a while now. Fans will be pleasantly surprised.
- Brewer looked overwhelmed. Kinda "deer-in-headlights" overwhelmed. Just give him some time, I think he'll be alright. He needs to get used to the speed of the NBA game, as well as bulk up his body. He won't be playing huge minutes right off the bat, but he will be a pretty good player eventually. Plus... how can you not love his baby fro?
- Theo Ratliff looked (surprisingly) very good out there. I'd be ecstatic if Ratliff, Madsen, and Chris Richard could hold down the center position so that we never had to play Blount again. Unfortunately, the "over/under" for the remaining number of games until Ratliff suffers a season ending injury is only 5.5 games.
- That announcing team was awful. Hubie Brown, you need to hang it up. With 3:08 left in the 2nd quarter, Ray Allen nails a smooth jumper off a sweet pass from KG to Rondo cutting underneath the basket, and then from Rondo to Allen on the wing. Both announcers rave about the "great shot by Rondo." Huh? That was clearly Ray Allen. They are both now talking about "Rondo" and how he has improved his jump shooting this offseason and blah blah blah. A replay is shown. The non Hubie Brown announcer says, "that last shot by Rondo..." and I'm thinking to myself, ok, they will correct themselves now. Nope, they go on to talk about "Rondo's" shot. Are you serious? Even after watching a replay they thought Ray Allen was Rondo? Huh?!?! Idiots.
50-43 Celtics lead. The Wolves have 11 turnovers to the Celtics 6, which is too many for the good guys. The Celtics are shooting 53% to the Wolves 38%! Wow, if these numbers hold up it could be a long season. N o t good.
We learn from a halftime feature about KG, Pierce, and Ray Allen, that KG is calling the Celtics "Big 3" the "Ceatles." That's right, the "Ceatles." Like, the famous band the "Beatles", except with a 'C'. Because of the "Celtics." Get it? Now sure that one should stick. Oh boy.
- The second half wasn't too exciting to tell you the truth. The game was getting pretty sloppy at this point and lots of mistakes were made by both teams. An interesting note is that Foye didn't play the second half. Injured? I have no idea.
- Hubie Brown continued to display a callous disregard for the English language. That man just loves to hear himself speak in the 2nd person. Honestly, it's amazing. And hilarious. Don't get me wrong, we thoroughly enjoyed it. I wonder... is that how he casually talks to friends or groups of people in everyday conversation? My guess would be yes. "You gotta pass that ball when you are double teamed, if you don't you, will get stuck with it and you will make a bad decision or force a turnover. You just can't do that when you are out there on the court or you won't be playing." - Hubie Brown, in-game announcing while analyzing a replay. No Hubie... no, I don't need to worry about that. Know why? Because I am not out there on the court. I am watching this game from the comfort of my couch.
- Also, from here on out, every time you hear Hubie Brown announce a game, you will now recognize this glaring deficiency nearly every time he speaks. My bet is that you'll love it and embrace it as much as Bonk and I do.
- More Hubie Brown fun. As per "Hubie the walking quote machine," here are some of the players that were at tonight's game: "Ricky Green" (Ricky Davis), "Mark BlOWWnt" (Mark Blount), "Kevin Durant" (KG), "Marko JARic" (Marko Jaric), and Ray Allen mind-bendingly transformed into "Rajon Rondo." Amazing.
- Good to see that the stadium phenomenon, "The Wave", finally crossed the pond. Only 20-something years too late. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, however.
- Mark Blount: DNP. There is a god!!!

Re: Zombies invade Atlantis. Stargate zombie Mafia game.
CG isn't being transparent enough with his role even after he's accomplished all of what he was hoping to do (from my understanding).
His name is Siler...ok. Moar you aren't going to vote for him this entire day phase because of his name? But he's a character who gets injured all the time in a game with zombies where if he is anti-town he easily could have pulled the name from someone else no?
I also feel like we could learn something from kestegs by CG's flip. I personally think destroying the stick should earn 0 town points. There are pros and cons to both sides.
In fact I would be willing to bet kestegs destroying the stick is more likely to be scum than town. He doesn't want to make a connection with anyone this late in the game. On top of that, most of this group seems to think there are two mafia groups. What are the odds of him giving it to the other group vs town? Why would he risk that?
That and a strong defense of CG and I'd be willing to see either of them go.
I am actually leaning more towards unvoting CG and voting kestegs because of the voting stick, but CG isn't forthcoming enough with his "I get injured all the time so get over it" attitude towards the game. Call it fishing if you want, I call it give me a reason to unvote cause everytime I want to I have an "eehhhhh" moment where I can't justify removing it as much as I can keeping it.

NBA Free Agency: 10 Players Who Could Turn a Franchise Around Next Season
By Hunter Konsens ,
While this offseason's free-agent class doesn't have the glitz and glamour of years past, there is no doubting the bevy of talent at every position. Headlined by elite point guard Deron Williams, the players available would make any organization giddy.
From veteran leader Kevin Garnett to the talented but troubled Michael Beasley, there are plenty of players on the open market that could change the fortunes of an NBA franchise. Whether an organization is a championship contender or a rebuilding squad, the depth in this free-agent body will give every team an opportunity to add a major piece to their respective puzzles.
The subsequent slides will examine players with the most potential to turn around a franchise.
Michael Beasley
Since entering the league, Michael Beasley has never possessed a clear role with a franchise.
After being drafted with the second-overall pick in 2008 by the Miami Heat, Beasley had to fight for minutes with fellow small forward Shawn Marion. Even after Marion was traded to Toronto for Jermaine O'Neal, the Miami front office still didn't show the confidence in Beasley to give him a significant role on offense.
In Minnesota, Beasley flourished in his first season as the primary scorer, averaging nearly 20 points per game. But with the emergence of rookie Derrick Williams this season, it looks as though Beasley will be leaving the T'Wolves for greener pastures.
Beasley is still young and has the potential and intangibles to develop into a top-tier scorer at the professional level. Despite his troubled past, Beasley will demand a large contract on the open market.
Lou Williams
In his seventh season in the league, Lou Williams has developed into a top-tier sixth man. While he is considered a liability on defense, his true contributions come on the offensive side of the court, where he is a premier scorer.
Williams brings an offensive spark off the bench to a sometimes stagnant Philadelphia 76ers squad. The 45th-overall pick in the 2006 NBA draft is averaging nearly 15 points per game, an impressive feat considering he is only playing 26 minutes per night.
Due to his quick first step and efficient shooting ability, Williams will become a valuable pick-up for any squad looking for a turnaround.
Kevin Garnett
Despite the fact that Kevin Garnett will only play a few more seasons until he decides to call it quits, there should be a handful of teams interested in acquiring the former MVP's talents. While Garnett still brings a valuable presence to the power forward position, his best contribution is his leadership.
Garnett will probably only sign with a championship contender, and there is no doubt that there will be a few title-caliber organizations calling for his services.
Tim Duncan
It would be a shame to see Tim Duncan leave the Spurs. After all, the 6'11" power forward has revolutionized the position during his tenure in Texas. In addition, he has given the city of San Antonio four championships, earned two MVP awards and graced the All-Star Game 13 times.
Duncan, like Kevin Garnett, has aged considerably over the last few years. Coach Gregg Popovich has even decided to rest Duncan on quite a few occasions due to his advanced age.
If the Spurs don't reach the NBA Finals, they may decide to let Duncan walk in free agency and elect to rebuild their roster. If this becomes the case, look for Duncan to receive major interest from several title contenders.
O.J. Mayo
O.J. Mayo's years with the Memphis Grizzlies have been rough to say the least. His scoring average has dropped almost every year since he entered the league, and he has been on the trade block every season. Additionally, Mayo has been relegated to the bench in favor of the one-dimensional Tony Allen.
Mayo, a deadly assassin from deep, is still only 24 years old and has lots of room for improvement. He definitely has the potential to be in the upper echelon of scorers.
The former USC star has the tools to be the savior for a rebuilding roster in need. The Charlotte Bobcats, Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Hornets are all perfect fits.
Steve Nash
Since the glory days that featured Amar'e Stoudemire, Shawn Marion and Mike D'Antoni's run-and-gun offense, Steve Nash has been meddling around NBA purgatory with the Phoenix Suns.
There is no question that Nash still has major minutes left in the tank. After all, the elder statesman is second in the league with 10.8 assists per game and was named to the All-Star team this season for the eighth time in his career.
While Nash has hinted at the idea that he might bolt town for another franchise, nothing is set in stone.
No matter what he decides, Nash has the character and talent to make a major impact on any team, be it a rebuilding squad or a championship contender.
Brook Lopez
Brook Lopez is quite the intriguing case, as his size and knack for scoring inside will interest many franchises. However, Lopez does come with a few notable questions.
First and foremost, will the former Stanford star be able to stay healthy long enough to fulfill the massive contract he will most likely sign this offseason? In addition, will this young prospect be able to improve his rebounding and defense, two aspects that he has struggled with in his brief career?
Though he averaged over 20 points per game last season, he also brought down less than six boards per contest. Ouch.
Roy Hibbert
Do you remember the 1990's? The days where centers like Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal dominated the hardwood?
Flash forward to present day, and there is very little depth at the center position. In fact, many organizations have overpaid to acquire a big man to fill their void in the middle.
However, there are still a few upper-echelon centers in the league, and one of them may wind up on the open market this offseason.
Roy Hibbert, current center of the Indiana Pacers, will no doubt spark interest across the league as a restricted free agent this summer. The 7'2" behemoth not only provides a consistent defensive presence, but has a refined offensive game headlined by a smooth mid-range jumper.
Eric Gordon
Outside of Deron Williams, Eric Gordon will undoubtedly be the hottest target during the free-agency period this offseason. Despite being sidelined for most of the season, Gordon is a perfect candidate for a rebuilding squad.
This 6'3" scoring machine has star potential and may be able to single-handedly revive an organization. According to a recent report, the Pacers, Blazers, Mavericks and Suns will pursue the shooting guard this offseason. That being said, the Hornets will be able to match any offer presented to the young prospect, as he is a restricted free agent.
In eight games this season, Gordon is averaging over 21 points per contest on 46 percent shooting.
Deron Williams
This summer, Deron Williams will most likely enter the free-agent pool. Not only is he the prize of this year's free-agent class, but he is a top-three point guard in the Association.
After a rough end to his tenure with the Jazz, Williams' time in New Jersey has been rocky to say the least. Team management has been unable to acquire a serviceable supporting cast around their All-NBA point guard, and the Nets are struggling mightily.
If Williams does decide to bolt, look for the Dallas Mavericks to swoop in and sign the elite facilitator.

I'm sure you do hon. I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume you see yourself as heterosexual, just a suggestion before you go and try to take part in the whole be fruitful and multiply scheme, do those future offspring a favor and have yourself neutered. If you have reproduced, my deepest sympathy to them for their handicap. |

That old saying about wisdom coming with age should say "WHEN wisdom comes, it USUALLY comes with age". In your case it didn't. Oh, and by the way I'm 69, but I have found far wiser people than me who are considerably younger. |
"Equality First" Since: Jan 09 6,675 |
Yeah, but you're not one of the younger people I was referring to. |

I may be a fool. Only time will tell. I am wise enough to know one thing tho, and that is that this is a useless conversation which I will not continue. |
"I am really just " Since: Mar 09 39,756 a YANK at heart |
Hardly. |
There is nothing 'straight' about a man having sex with his daughter and there are many gays that wish to see the age of consent lowered for teens. In Massachusetts they just show up at the adoption window. |
"I am really just " Since: Mar 09 39,756 a YANK at heart |
The age of consent is the age of consent BETWEEN TEENS. Hetero teens are free to express affection and engage in normal explorations and romantic play without criminal liability. The same does not apply to gay teens. Somebody has been telling only partial truth. |
"I am really just " Since: Mar 09 39,756 a YANK at heart |
That is not correct. Erotic play between hetero teens is, in most States, at least a misdemeanor usually called "sexual misconduct between minors". The biggest push for this is in Canada and England where the selfsame activity between gay teens remains registerable sex offenses.. I'm sure you're acquainted with what is colloquially termed in some States "the high school rule" ? It says that erotic play between teens (over the age of 13/14), where the age spread between the parties might be that of fellow high school students, shall be treated as misdemeanor rather than criminal offenses and, barring other factors, will not be ranked as sex offenders. I know what I'm talking about here because I was following the progress of these cases fairly closely, and know some of the people behind the legal efforts on the teens behalf. Most are (very) hetero lawyers. lol NAMBLA has been an empty shell for a very long time. The websites are FBI honeytraps. Lots of members of the gay community frequently assist the FBI with their effort to catch and try these predators. I have on more than one occasion. |

Erica OGrady: "Make people around you more successful than you are." – @ericaogrady
This quote was lifted from a tremendously informative article I read this morning called "60 Ways to Increase Your Influence," featured on the Copyblogger blog. The whole article provides fantastic insight from pioneers who have built their influence all across the World Wide Web. But Erica's quote stuck out the most to me because A) I firmly believe in her message, and B) It makes reference to my all-time favorite professional wrestler.
Anyone who knows me well is fully aware that I love professional wrestling. Through the industry's ups and downs, I've stayed loyal and followed the product. Though sometimes turning away, something always brings me back. I've been watching since I was five, and 25 years later, my addiction to the "male soap opera" still burns on.
My all-time favorite is Nature Boy Ric Flair. For those who aren't familiar with wrestling circles (or are too proud to admit it. C'mon, we know you're tuning in every week!), Flair was the influential force behind the National Wrestling Alliance in the 1980′s. He owned the title of World Heavyweight Champion a record 16-times in his illustrious career and had the ability to play the babyface (good guy) or the heel (bad guy) to impeccable perfection. Whether he was the guy you loved or the guy you hated, he knew exactly how to get a reaction from the crowd.
Many casual wrestling fans relate the sport to Hulk Hogan, mainly because he had the marketing machine of the World Wrestling Federation, now known as World Wrestling Entertainment, behind him. But I share the same viewpoint as Flair himself: "If the NWA had the ability and budget to market their characters the way the WWF did, Hulk Hogan would've been in the first match of the night."
One of Flair's greatest attributes, of which he has several, and it's the one that relates closest to Erica's aforementioned quote, was his ability to make his opponent, no matter who he was, look like an absolute superstar. He could take a virtual unknown and make him look like wrestling's "next big thing."
His legendary feuds with wrestlers like Terry Funk, Lex Luger, Sting and Ricky Steamboat put those wrestlers on the map. And although they were "over" in their own right, Flair's ability to transform them into championship material truly put them over the top.
Even today, at the tender age of 61, he's still putting guys over and making them look like gods among men. Wrestling and managing in TNA Wrestling, he's currently in a battle with youngster Jay Lethal and doing the same thing he's done for every other wrestler he's squared off against: making him look great.
The ability to make all those around you better not only builds your influence and authority, it shows you genuinely care about the results of others. And that, folks, is what it's all about.
Focusing solely on yourself and your own results will trap you in a one-dimensional lull in which there is no escaping. The most influential people in any niche did not get to that point by focusing only on #1. They've taken on the responsibility of being an influential person full-bore and made it their mission to aid in the education and development of everyone they come in contact with.
The proof is in the pudding. If you want to be a success, your focus needs to be on the success of others. It's a time-honored tradition as consistent as gravity. Instead of worrying about your results, focus on helping others get theirs…and watch your own seamlessly fall into place.
And from the Ric Flair supporters out there…can I get a big 'WOOOOOOOOOOO!!'

See the instructional flash presentation HERE for skating tips. WHICH FOOT DO YOU PUSH WITH, TO SKATE A DIRTSURFER? You have to push with your front foot because the frame is slightly lower at the rear and they feel really weird to push with the rear foot. Also, the deadman's brake button HAS to be under the rear foot. It's not as difficult as you might think to get used to the 'old style' skate pushing. DOES THE FRONT WHEEL TURN OR PIVOT? Yeah, the front wheel turns via a low, forward mounted, double-bearing pivot point, but most turning is initiated by actual leaning rather than turning, i.e. like a motorcycle turns without the front wheel actually turning much either. So, all you have to do is lean and it automatically turns. HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO RIDE A DIRTSURFER? Although they've only got two wheels, Dirtsurfers are deceptively easy to ride thanks to their patented steering geometry. As soon as you apply weight, the front wheel stabilizes and only turns when you lean. We have plenty of people riding Dirtsurfer boards easily without snowboard or surfing experience. If you start on a grass hill, you should be riding the board successfully within a few minutes. To get really good on them obviously takes practice, but just to ride them initially is much easier than learning to snowboard or surf. HOW DO YOU STOP A DIRTSURFER? They have a deadman's brake (button under the rear foot), which activates when you fall off, to stop the board from rolling away. You can also use this as a gentle brake by angling the rear foot. A second spring is included with each board should you wish to increase the deadman's braking power. Each board also comes with either a V-brake (GP model) or Disk Brake (Road Racer and Flexi model) operated via a rear calf lever. Simply apply pressure rearward on the lever with your calf and the V-brake activates by slowing the rear tire like on a bike. CAN YOU USE A DIRTSURFER WITH A KITE OR SAIL? Dirtsurfer boards work really well with a sailboard rig! Just bolt the uni into the 8mm hole in the foot plate. Your front foot goes right in front of the uni. The board is really stable at speed with a rig and handles beautifully. Kitewing's Skimbats are also wonderfully compatible with Dirtsurfer boards! Kiteboarders have finally found a perfect land based board to replicate their on-water rush. The in-line design produces that wakeboarding edge feel and Dirtsurfer's unbeatable high speed stability instills the confidence needed to go for it. HOW FAST ARE DIRTSURFERS DOWNHILL? The current unofficial Dirtsurfer speed record is 117 kph (70mph) The speed limit so far is purely dependent on the hill, so the top end achievable with narrow slicks on a long, mountain road is anyone's guess. Suffice to say it will be extremely fast! Not recommended for anyone but pro riders in leather racing suits!

Defense Acquisitions:
Departmentwide Direction Is Needed for Implementation of the Anti-tamper Policy
GAO-08-91: Published: Jan 11, 2008. Publicly Released: Jan 11, 2008.

Office of Public Affairs

The Department of Defense (DOD) invests billions of dollars on sophisticated weapon systems and technologies. These may be at risk of exploitation when exported, stolen, or lost during combat or routine missions. In an effort to minimize this risk, DOD developed an anti-tamper policy in 1999, calling for DOD components to implement anti-tamper techniques for critical technologies. In March 2004, GAO reported that program managers had difficulties implementing this policy, including identifying critical technologies. This follow-up report (1) describes recent actions DOD has taken to implement its anti-tamper policy and (2) identifies challenges facing program managers. GAO reviewed documentation on actions DOD has taken since 2004 to implement its anti-tamper policy, and interviewed officials from the Anti-Tamper Executive Agent's Office, the military services, other DOD components, and a cross-section of program offices.
Since 2004, DOD has taken several actions to raise awareness about anti-tamper protection and develop resources that provide program managers with general information on its anti-tamper policy. These actions include developing a Web site with anti-tamper information and events, establishing an online learning module on anti-tamper protection, and sponsoring research on generic anti-tamper techniques. However, DOD lacks departmentwide direction for implementation of its anti-tamper policy. Without such direction, individual DOD components are left on their own to develop initiatives. For example, the Navy is developing a database that is intended to provide a horizontal view of what DOD components have identified as critical program information. While many officials we spoke with pointed to this database as a potential tool for identifying critical technologies that may need anti-tamper protection, the database is currently incomplete. Specifically, the Missile Defense Agency is not providing information because its information is classified at a level above what the database can support. Also, the Air Force is not currently providing information because not all commands have provided consent to participate. At the same time, program managers face challenges implementing DOD's anti-tamper policy--due largely to a lack of information or tools needed to make informed assessments at key decision points. First, program managers have limited information for defining what is critical or insight into what technologies other programs have deemed critical to ensure similar protection across programs. Determining whether technologies are critical is largely left to the discretion of the individual program manager, resulting in an uncoordinated and stove piped process. Therefore, the same technology can be identified as critical in one program office but not another. Second, program managers have not always had sufficient or consistent information from the intelligence community to identify threats and vulnerabilities to technologies that have been identified as critical. The potential impact of inconsistent threat assessments is twofold: If the threat is deemed to be low but is actually high, the technology is susceptible to tampering; conversely, if the threat is deemed to be high and is actually low, an anti-tamper solution is more robust than needed. Finally, program managers have had difficulty selecting sufficient anti-tamper solutions--in part because they lack information and tools, such as risk and cost-estimating models, to determine how much anti-tamper protection is needed. As a result, program managers may select a suboptimal solution. Given these combined challenges, there is an increased risk that some technologies that need protection may not be identified or may not have sufficient protection.
Status Legend:
- Review Pending
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Recommendations for Executive Action
Recommendation: As DOD examines its policies for protecting critical assets, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in coordination with the Anti-Tamper Executive Agent and the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, to issue or be involved in developing and providing departmentwide direction for application of its anti-tamper policy that prescribes how to carry out the policy and establishes definitions for critical program information and critical technologies.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD has efforts underway to implement this recommendation. Specifically, DOD is developing a manual, DOD 5200.39-M, "Procedures for Critical Program Information within the DOD" that is intended to guide implementation of policies and procedures for identifying and protecting critical program information which includes critical technologies. The manual is to include guidance for carrying out DOD's anti-tamper policy, among other things. DOD estimates the manual will be completed by October 2013.
Recommendation: To help ensure the effectiveness of anti-tamper implementation, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Anti-Tamper Executive Agent to identify and provide additional tools to assist program managers in the anti-tamper decision process.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD has provided additional tools to assist program managers in the anti-tamper decision process. DOD issued Anti-Tamper Guidelines for program managers and developed a two-day anti-tamper short course. The short course provides information for specifying, designing, and evaluating anti-tamper technology as well as information on anti-tamper design milestones and their relationship to the acquisition cycle.

CyberwarfareUkrainian computer systems attacked by sophisticated malware with "Russian roots"
Ukrainian computer systems and networks have been targeted by at least twenty-two attacks launched by "committed and well-funded professionals" since January 2013, defense contractor BAE Systems found. BAE declined to identify the source of the attacks, but a German company said the espionage software has "Russian roots." The malware design "suggests that attackers possess an arsenal of infiltration tools and bears all the hallmarks of a highly sophisticated cyber operation," the BAE report said.
GridFERC orders development of physical security standards for transmission grid
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on Friday directed the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) to develop reliability standards requiring owners and operators of the Bulk-Power System to address risks due to physical security threats and vulnerabilities.
CybersecuritySoftware spots malicious behavior by apps
Last year at the end of July the Russian software company Doctor Web detected several malicious apps in the app store Google Play. Downloaded on a smartphone, the malware installed — without the permission of the user — additional programs which sent expensive text messages to premium services. German computer scientists have now developed software which can discover such malicious apps already in the app store. The software detects pieces of code where the app accesses sensitive data and where data is sent from the mobile device.
BiometricsBiometric security for mobile devices becoming mainstream
Biometric security such as fingerprint, face, and voice recognition is set to hit the mainstream as global technology companies market the systems as convenient and easy to use. The latest biometric technologies are not without their security issues, but they are marketed as more convenient than traditional methods rather than more secure, and encourage adoption by people who currently do not have any security on their phone at all.
CybersecurityPlatform for operating systems would outwit cyber criminals
As smartphone use surges, consumers are just beginning to realize their devices are not quite as secure as they thought. A Swedish research team is working on a way to secure mobile operating systems so that consumers can be confident that their data is protected.
PrivacyCollecting digital user data without compromising privacy
The statistical evaluation of digital user data is of vital importance for analyzing trends. It can also undermine users' privacy. Computer scientists have now developed a novel cryptographic method that makes it possible to collect data and protect the privacy of the user at the same time.
CyberwarfareU.S. Army releases first field manual for war in the electromagnetic spectrum
Sergei Gorshkov, former Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union, once remarked that "the next war will be won by the side that best exploits the electromagnetic spectrum." The U.S. Army agrees, releasing its first field manualfor Cyber Electromagnetic Activities (CEMA). The Pentagon defines cyber electromagnetic activities as activities leveraged to seize, retain, and exploit an advantage over adversaries and enemies in both cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum, while simultaneously denying and degrading adversary and enemy the use of such capabilities, and protecting the mission command system.
CyberwarfarePro-regime Syrian hackers threaten cyberattacks on CENTCOM
Last Friday, the Syrian Electronic Army (SEA) threatened to launch a cyberattack on U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) if the United States would conducts cyberwarfare operations against Syria.
The SEA is a group of Syrian computer hackers who support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Cyber experts say the group's threat should not be dismissed. "This is a very capable group that has done some very significant things against well-defended targets," says Bob Gourley, a former Chief Technology Officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).
CybersecuritySecuring Industry 4.0
An increasing number of unsecured, computer-guided production machinery and networks in production facilities are gradually evolving into gateways for data theft. New security technologies may directly shield the sensitive data that is kept there.
Disaster communicationSafeguarding networks when disasters strike
Disasters both natural and human-caused can damage or destroy data and communications networks. Several presentations at the 2014 OFC Conference and Exposition, being held 9-13 March in San Francisco, will present new information on strategies that can mitigate the impacts of these disasters. Researchers created an algorithm that keeps data safe by moving or copying the data from data centers in peril to more secure locations away from the disaster. The algorithm assesses the risks for damage and users' demands on the network to determine, in real-time, which locations would provide the safest refuge from a disaster. Other researchers suggest that if fiber-optic cables are down, wireless communication can fill the void and be part of a temporary, emergency network. For such a system to work, however, wireless technology would have to be integrated with the fiber-optic network that transports data around the world.
CybersecurityBGU startup Titanium Core wins Cybertition cyber security competition
Ben-Gurion University of the Negev startup Titanium Core won the first Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP)-sponsored Cybertition cyber security competition. Titanium Core uses a multilayered security approach to repel attacks on mission-critical systems, provide real-time attack information, and prevent threats from moving onto other computer systems. The company will receive $1 Million investment from JVP and space in the JVP Cyber Labs incubator, located in the cyber center in Beer-Sheva, adjacent to Ben-Gurion University.
Infrastructure protectionExperts call for a new organization to oversee grid's cybersecurity
In 2013, U.S. critical infrastructure companies reported about 260 cyberattacks on their facilities to the federal government. Of these attacks, 59 percent occurred in the energy sector. A new report proposes that energy companies should create an industry-led organization to deflect cyber threats to the electric grid. Modeled after the nuclear industry's Institute of Nuclear Power Operations, the proposed organization, to be called the Institute for Electric Grid Cybersecurity, would oversee all the energy industry players that could compromise the electric grid if they came under a cyberattack.
CybersecurityNIST's voluntary cybersecurity framework may be regarded as de facto mandatory
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) voluntary cybersecurity frameworkissued in February establishes best practices for companies that support critical infrastructure such as banking and energy. Experts now warn that recommendations included in the framework may be used by courts, regulators, and even consumers to hold institutions accountable for failures that could have been prevented if the cybersecurity framework had been fully implemented by the respective institution.
Cybersecurity educationUniversity of Texas at San Antonio ranked top U.S. cybersecurity school
The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) ranks as the top school for cybersecurity courses and degree programs according to a Hewlett-Packard (HP)-sponsored surveyof 1,958 certified IT security professionals. The schools undergraduate and graduate programs received top marks for academic excellence and practical relevance.

CORPUS CHRISTI — With lake levels continuing to decline and Stage 3 of the City's Water Conservation Plan eminent, the topic of Xeriscape returns to the forefront. Xeriscapes are water-efficient landscapes that employ seven principles to achieve a beautiful yard with minimal water. They are planning and design, soil analysis and preparation, appropriate plant selection, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, use of mulches and appropriate maintenance.
It takes less time and resources to keep plants healthy with maintenance than to have to replant later and get them reestablished.
It takes six months to a year for an herbaceous perennial to become relatively well established. Shrubs may take as long as two years. Trees really need a minimum of 3-5 years to become established enough to be drought tolerant. The key is to water them efficiently now and keep them as healthy as possible despite seemingly eminent heat and water stress later this spring and summer.
One of the keys to healthy trees, plants and turf is fertilization. Applying fertilizer is important to keep existing plants and grass healthy by replenishing vital nutrients needed for basic plant processes. They key is not to over fertilize, so that is why it is important to do the math before fertilizing to determine how much you need to apply.
Applying a proper amount of fertilizer will prevent the plants and grass from being placed under nutritional stress at the same time as water stress as irrigation levels are decreased.
A small amount of water is needed after fertilizing, but not an excessive amount. You just need enough to wash the chemical dust off the grass blades so the fertilizer will be moved to the soil where roots will take up the vital nutrients, and so that grass blades are not burned in the heat and sun from the fertilizer residue.
Fertilizer is not just for grass it is also critical to keep trees and shrubs healthy. The tree roots are occupying the same space as grass roots. Fertilizing will provide nutrients needed to keep trees healthier and better able to provide shade during the heat of summer.
Besides fertilizing, removing weeds is another important part of maintenance. Unwanted plants use water and compete with landscape plants for this ever-increasingly precious commodity. There are multiple approaches including pulling weeds, chemical control and minimizing weed seedlings with a thick layer of mulch.
Keeping watch for early detection of insect pests and diseases is also important because they place plants under additional stress. If left unattended, then the plant may die and have to be replaced.
Pruning is another component of keeping plants healthy. It allows dead and diseased branches to be removed before additional problems arise. You can prune out some insect problems like aphids or mealy bugs if you catch them early and then dispose of the clippings. You can also reduce water consumption by reducing the canopy.

San Francisco 49ers
According to Matt Maiocca of csnbayarea.com, the San Francisco 49ers don't know if they are going to franchise safety Dashon Goldson for a second straight year.
Goldson, who badly wants to test the free agent market, may get his chance if the 49ers don't dump Alex Smith. The 49ers have to either cut Smith or trade him in order to franchise tag Goldson. Smith's salary puts the 49ers over the cap, but they can't trade him until March 12th at 4:00pm.
They have until March 4th to tag Goldson; however, they both can't be on the roster on March 12th.
Either San Francisco will dump Smith getting no value for him, but the ability to tag Goldson. Vice versa, keep Smith and let Goldson walk.

BOSTON (AP) - Jared Sullinger recovered from first-half foul trouble to score 19 points and grab seven rebounds, helping Ohio State beat Syracuse 77-70 on Saturday to advance to the Final Four.
It will be the Buckeyes' first trip to the NCAA semifinals since 2007.
Deshaun Thomas scored 14 with nine rebounds for Ohio State (31-7), which led by eight points with 59 seconds to play and held on after the Orange cut it to three.
The Buckeyes made 13 of 14 free throws in the final 68 seconds.
Brandon Triche scored 15 points and Baye Keita had 10 rebounds for Syracuse (34-3).
The Orange were hoping for a return trip to New Orleans, where they won their only national championship in 2003.

Axoneme β-Tubulin Sequence Determines Attachment of Outer Dynein Arms
Axoneme β-Tubulin Sequence Determines Attachment of Outer Dynein Arms
Current Biology, Volume 18, Issue 12,
Pages 911-914,

Axonemes of motile eukaryotic cilia and flagella have a conserved structure of nine doublet microtubules surrounding a central pair of microtubules. Outer and inner dynein arms on the doublets mediate axoneme motility [1]. Outer dynein arms (ODAs) attach to the doublets at specific interfaces [2,3,4,5]. However, the molecular contacts of ODA-associated proteins with tubulins of the doublet microtubules are not known. We report here that attachment of ODAs requires glycine 56 in the β-tubulin internal variable region (IVR). We show that in Drosophila spermatogenesis, a single amino acid change at this position results in sperm axonemes markedly deficient in ODAs. Moreover, we found that axonemal β-tubulins throughout the phylogeny have invariant glycine 56 and a strongly conserved IVR, whereas nonaxonemal β-tubulins vary widely in IVR sequences. Our data reveal a deeply conserved physical requirement for assembly of the macromolecular architecture of the motile axoneme. Amino acid 56 projects into the microtubule lumen [6]. Imaging studies of axonemes indicate that several proteins may interact with the doublet-microtubule lumen [3,4,7,8]. This region of β-tubulin may determine the conformation necessary for correct attachment of ODAs, or there may be sequence-specific interaction between β-tubulin and a protein involved in ODA attachment or stabilization.

Georgia Bird Photography?
Where is the best place to photography different kinds of birds in Geogira. I am going on a camping trip soon and depending on your help, that decides where I will go. I'm just kind of getting old of al the smae birds. I don't have that many different species in my back yard, any help is appreciated.

Back from the dead
I'd like to hear from fellow bird shooters in the Georgia area as well. I am in Savannah and often travel to Atlanta, so I am open to most of the state.
Some places that come to mind: Lake Mayer (Savannah) Harris Neck (50 miles south of Savannah) - Recommended by a photographer I bumped into downtown. I have yet to visit, but plan to in the very near future. Gulfstream Road (Port Wentworth) - Huge nesting area just off the road. Forgive me for not knowing the type of birds. But, the nests are in trees about 10-12 feet high in water with a very clear shot as the birds are quite active flying in and out of the nests. Okefenokee Swamp (Southeast part of GA) - Have not been since I was a child. |

Re: Georgia Bird Photography?
That is an excellent suggestion Jeremy.
http://www.birding.com/wheretobird/georgia.asp Personally, I'm gearing up to attack the Spring Warbler migration around the Kennesaw Mtn. National Battlefield Park. You can easily "see" 40-50 species in 1 day; now getting captures may be a different story - . I haven't checked about the peak, but I'm betting that I'll have some luck starting next week. Anyone who'd like to join me feel free to send me a PM and we'll make arrangements. That includes you too Jeremy -

Definición de halon en inglés:
Silabificación: hal·onPronunciación: /ˈhāˌlän
- Any of a number of unreactive gaseous compounds of carbon with bromine and other halogens, used in fire extinguishers, but now known to damage the ozone layer.Más ejemplos en oraciones
- The protocol restricts the manufacture and use of human-made, ozone-depleting compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons and halons.
- However, halons were found to harm the ozone layer and, under the Montreal Protocol of 1987 (which the United States signed on to), developed countries were required to phase out production of those gaseous agents by 1994.
- New data centers and those that undergo significant refurbishment are directed by the 1987 Montreal Protocol to use halon alternatives because of ozone-depleting properties of halon.

Yeah I'm heading there with 2 buddies! Never been there before, but it should be awesome! I can't wait to see Dyloot again <3. You going with a group?
Dyloot is always good, seen him several times recently including at the last So Stoked like two weeks ago!! I am going with my BF and maybe a friend but I don't really have a group :( I think it'll be a good one though! I'll more than likely be wearing a long lavender colored wig say hi/trade/hug if you see me!

Fa sho! I'll probably be wearing a turquoise shirt with an orange and glass of orange juice on the front. I'll be wearing my Adventure Time cuff also :). Hopefully I'll run into you there!

So Stoked was awesome! That was my first time at that event and I had a lot of fun.
If you happen to see me, you, your BF, and friend can hang out with my group at the event if you'd like!
It was my first So Stoked too....so much fun!!!
Like I said, I'll be wearing a long light purple wig, and a blue burner belt (you know one of those belts with pockets)....not sure what I'll be wearing other than that yet but I doubt too many people will have on crazy lavender wigs! So Say hi if you see me!

I went to the last Stereo Love, and I have to say it was super fun! Got to meet one of the DJs who was spinning, and the PLUR vibes were everywhere! And I've seen dyloot twice already, he's fucking amazing. Savotage also kills it!!
I went to the last one and will be going to the one tomorrow, as well. Treasure Island is my favorite venue (as well as pretty much everyone I've talked to), so I think you're going to like it. The music at this event is a little different than the ones they usually throw though, Trance is usually played in the other rooms whereas at this one it's being played all night on the main stage.
I'll either be wearing a deadmau5 or Zelda shirt, so feel free to say hi if you see me! I'll have blue orbits so I'll be pretty distinguishable compared to others wearing shirts like that (if there are any) lol
This is good to hear, its always a little nerve wracking going to a venue you've never been to before!!! I am pretty excited that Trance is the main stage!! I will certainly say hi if I see you!! I love me some orbits ;)

I'll be there taking photos for Signal55, and I'm on the 21+ area lineup (as Budzak). My buddy Frequent Flyer Miles is out here from Denver to headline on the main stage. I'm a huge fan of the Stereo Love events. We need more trance events beyond just the massives. Medium-sized events have their own great vibe, too!
I totally agree, I was sooo excited to find a smaller event where the main stage was trance!! Also I think I was in some Signal 55 photos from So Stoked!!
