COLUMBIA, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 01/16/13 -- Aspect Security, a pioneer in application security, today announced that its researchers have discovered a significant security vulnerability in the Spring Framework. Exclusive data from Sonatype, the operator of the Central Repository, the industry's primary source for open-source components, shows that more than 1.3 million vulnerable instances of the Spring Framework has been downloaded by more than 22,000 organizations worldwide.
Spring is an open-source framework used by Java developers to build business-critical applications. The Expression Language (EL) vulnerability enables an attacker to use a remote code execution to invoke functionality and take over a machine or the organization's entire network. Once an attacker exploits this weakness, the enterprise loses control of the business systems built on the Spring Framework.
Dubbed Remote Code with Expression Language Injection by Arshan Dabirsiaghi, Director of Research, Aspect Security and Stefano DiPaola, CTO of Minded Security, this flaw was discovered nearly 20 months ago and resulted in a fix by VMware in the latest version of the Spring Framework. Further research conducted by Aspect Security engineer Dan Amodio has uncovered additional issues that elevate the severity of the flaw, and Aspect cautions that additional steps need to be taken in order to protect organizations from Expression Language Injection vulnerabilities.
"It's difficult to quantify the depth and breadth of this problem since not every application is vulnerable, but any organization using Spring 3.0.5 or earlier is still at risk as these versions do not support disabling the double EL resolution," said Amodio. "The vulnerability leads to remote code execution, which can be devastating to an entire infrastructure. Many organizations are still using outdated components, which don't provide added protections by disabling this functionality. Even more alarming is that these flawed components are still being used to build applications which can present long-term security risks if gone unmanaged."
To keep applications free from third-party attacks and performance issues, Aspect Security recommends IT managers and developers using Spring update their libraries and opt-out of enabling double EL resolution. To avoid similar security instances in the future, organizations should consider Component Lifecycle Management (CLM) products that ensure the integrity of component-based software by analyzing usage, enforcing policy during development and delivering fixes for flawed components.
The widespread use of insecure libraries and frameworks is not a new dilemma for the open source software community. In March 2012, Aspect Security in conjunction with Sonatype, released a study entitled, "The Unfortunate Reality of Insecure Libraries." The report documented 113 million downloads from the Central Repository of the 31 most popular Java frameworks and security libraries. Used by developers around the world, the Central Repository (operated by Sonatype) contains more than 400,000 components and receives eight billion requests per year. The report concluded that modern software relies heavily on open source, but users are not update aware - with one in three of the most popular components having older, vulnerable versions still being commonly downloaded, even when a newer version, with the security fix, was available. Other key findings from the report include:
- 29.8 million (26 percent) of library downloads have known vulnerabilities
- The most downloaded vulnerable libraries were GWT, Xerces, Spring MVC, and Struts 1.x
- Security libraries are slightly more likely to have a known vulnerability than frameworks
- Based on typical vulnerability rates, the vast majority of library flaws remain undiscovered
- Neither presence nor absence of historical vulnerabilities is a useful security indicator
- Typical Java applications are likely to include at least one vulnerable library
"The Remote Code with Expression Language Injection discovered by Aspect Security illustrates the importance of understanding how software vulnerabilities affect the downstream development ecosystem," said Ryan Berg, CSO of Sonatype, the world leader in Component Lifecycle Management products. "Development teams need flexible, proactive solutions that help manage these risks throughout the development lifecycle, so that organizations can trust that the components being used to build mission-critical applications are up-to-date and free from security vulnerabilities."

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

As Saturday's melee in Boston fades further into the past, I've repeatedly turned a question over in my mind. Why does controversy seem to follow the Pittsburgh Penguins?
My first thought was that I'm biased because of how closely I follow the team. Of course I'm going to hear about everything that happens in and around the Penguins, which can make it feel like they're constantly in headline news across the league.
My second thought was that the Penguins' stature as one of the perennial contenders for the Stanley Cup puts them on a pedestal. Almost every game they play is scrutinized and about half, if not more, are televised nationally in some form. As the New York Yankees or Dallas Cowboys can tell you, media attention cuts both ways.
Or, maybe it's some of the Penguins' personalities. James Neal has a history of acting out in frustration, as does Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin. Even Sidney Crosby, much more composed since his teenage years in the NHL, has had eruptions in the last two playoff series Pittsburgh has lost. That kind of unfettered emotion can spill over to teammates and opponents, sometimes leading to ugly scenes like we witnessed this weekend.
No matter how it's happened, the Penguins have developed a reputation, dating back to the infamous Long Island brawl of February 2011 and continuing forward. Until the Pens can repeatedly prove they're past the habit of getting carried away in intense moments, it will continue to linger.
Larry Snyder and I discussed the Boston situation as well as why fighting absolutely has to go in the latest edition of the Gospel of Hockey podcast, although the primary topic was this weekend's upcoming matchup with the Red Wings in Detroit.
My MLive Media Group colleague Tom Mitsos joined us to deliver a scouting report on the new, younger Wings, as well as his opinion on the Winter Classic, HBO's 24/7 series, the Pittsburgh-Detroit rivalry and the Wings' new home in the Eastern Conference. Larry and I also added our Local Hockey Report, as always:

Barbershop Chorus Champions 2001
Directed by Jay Giallombardo
The 138-strong, white-uniformed New Tradition Chorus was formed in 1982 as a performance and competition chorus, directed by Jay Giallombardo (who also does most of their arrangements), with the goal of becoming the best male chorus in the world. Beginning in 1987, when they placed 4th in SPEBSQSA's International Chorus competition, they medaled every year since then, including winning the gold medal in Nashville in 2001. So here we have the best male chorus in the world, nailing arguably some of the best songs in the world (most recorded live): "The Star-Spangled Banner," "This Is My Country," "America the Beautiful," "God Bless the USA," "There Is Something About a Soldier," "White Cliffs of Dover," "Cities of America Medley" (which includes "Chicago, My Kind of Town," "Meet Me In St. Louis, Louis," "Gary, Indiana," "Mention My Name in Sheboygan," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans" and "New York, New York"), "God Bless America," "Tribute to World Peace" and "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (piano accompanied and sung with the Northbrook Melodeers women's chorus). "Powerful" can only begin to describe the NTC, their music and this inspiring CD!

LaCie is now shipping Thunderbolt storage devices that use the latest 5TB internal hard drive from Seagate.
CNET editor Dong Ngo sacrifices the well-being of his little toe to prove just how to tough (and fast) the new LaCie Rugged Thunderbolt All-Terrain portable drive is.
CNET editor Dong Ngo demonstrates, with a great amount of charm, how short a second actually is, just so that we can appreciate the ridiculously fast speed of the LaCie Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2.
LaCie's latest Little Big Disk Thunderbolt 2 is a super fast external storage device.
If you need lots of extra storage space in a compact package, the LaCie D2 Thunderbolt 2 is a great accessory for your Thunderbolt 2-enabled Macs.
Pricing not available
French hardware company, now a Seagate subsidiary, says virtually everyone who shopped on LaCie's Web site in the last year is at risk.
The Seagate subsidiary moves its 2big and 5big storage systems to the faster Thunderbolt 2 data-transfer technology -- but adds USB 3 support, too. The new 8big rack-mount system is for those who need even more speed and capacity.

Cook County Sheriff: Frederick Collins
Political affiliation: Conservative African-American Republican
City: Chicago
Marital status: Single
Occupation/Firm name: Chicago Police Officer (highly decorated)
Campaign HQ address: 710 N. Rockwell, 1st floor, Chicago, IL 60622
Campaign website: www.collins4sheriff.com
What is your campaign budget- Â The budget is continually expanding
If elected, what would be your immediate priorities in office- My first priority when I become the new sheriff would be to undertake efforts to help eradicate the ever-growing crime problems that are afflicting so many communities within Cook County. There is a significant amount of patronage appointees within the sheriff's office, which creates a top heavy administration (with too many chiefs and not enough officers on the street). Therefore, with the help of several selected close advisers, it is my plan to re-organize the sheriff's department to convert many of these patronage appointee positions into additional sheriff deputy jobs at no further cost to the taxpayers, so that there will be more officers on the street to combat the crimes.
At the present time, the current sheriff is doing what he can to capture free attention in the press lately (at no cost to his campaign) by setting up prostitution stings with undercover female officers to arrest Johns. The questions that arise to these efforts is why he is doing it now near the end of his 4 year term as sheriff and why isn't he doing more to attack the more violent crime that is plaguing so many areas within the County of Cook, especially among our young innocent children together with the elderly-
The current incumbent Democrat sheriff, Tom Dart, has already gone on record in the press within the recent past that he was interested in seeking to be Mayor of Chicago, if Mayor Daley decided not to run again for mayor. Mayor Daley just announced he will not seek another term as mayor, so how serious is Sheriff Dart to serve the interests of Cook County as sheriff, when he will now undoubtedly start campaigning to run for mayor- Mr. Dart will need to secure at least 12,500 petition signatures within the next two months (he will need many more than that minimum figure in order to overcome any attempt by his opponents from challenging any of those signatures). Then he will be running in a mayoral primary this coming February with many expected challengers, so if he doesn't get at least 50% of the votes, which is almost a sure bet, then he will have another run-off election in April if he is among the two top candidates in the vote tally.
Now that overcrowding is no longer an issue at the Cook County Jail, how would you find ways to save money for taxpayers- The main reason why overcrowding is no longer a pressing issue at the Cook County Jail is due to the fact that Sheriff Dart had transferred a number of prisoners from the Cook County Jail to jails in other counties throughout Illinois, which these other counties are charging to the taxpayers of Cook County. The costs for housing the Cook County prisoners include not only a daily fee for staying at their jails, but they also charge Cook County for medical services they might require, along with any special meals that might have to be served to them. It should be noted that it is burdensome on the families of these accused prisoners (some of whom may be innocent of the charges) to have to travel further to see these prisoners.
In addition to converting many of the patronage appointee positions to sheriff's officers on the street without raising any further taxes, it should be noted that some of these officers could be utilized to serve as jail guards as well (to put Cook County in compliance with the federal mandates in connection with its jail system). It has been publicized in the press in the recent past that the current sheriff had gone to the Cook County Board to seek authorization for the hiring of additional jail guards for the jail system, which is actually putting more employees on an already bloated payroll system. Under the current sheriff's plan, taxes will be raised by hiring more employees without reducing any superfluous positions.
Another area where we can save money to the taxpayers is to fully comply with the federal law, which the current sheriff refuses to do by creating a sanctuary haven for illegal aliens in the Cook County Jail system. When I become sheriff, it will be my intention to fully comply with the federal law and turn over all such illegal aliens, which represents a significant portion of the prison population, over to ICE, so that these illegal aliens can be deported to their home countries, which will save the taxpayers additional funds.
Many folks do no realize that the vast majority of contracts that the sheriff's office possesses with outside vendors involve "no-bid" contracts, which has the appearance of these contracts awarded on the buddy system. Millions upon millions of taxpayer dollars are being spent in this fashion. For instance, the county already has a vehicle maintenance division to maintain the sheriff's cars, but the sheriff's office is spending millions of dollars to an outside vendor for vehicle maintenance. As a true fiscal conservative, I feel it would be my fiduciary responsibility to the taxpayers to uphold their hard earned tax money in greater regard than my own personal finances, so therefore, it would be my intent to eliminate all such "no-bid" contracts once they expire, so that a fair and equitable bidding process can be undertaken to all legitimate potential vendors. The awarding of the contracts to the lowest qualified bidder then would be a savings to the taxpayers. Additionally, any contracts to vendors that would be deemed unnecessary and an undue waste to the taxpayers would be eliminated for additional savings.
Politicians who engage in fraud and corruption cost taxpayers unnecessary tax dollars. A writer for the Sun-Times, Dick Simpson, a UIC Political Science Professor, wrote an article two years ago that Cook County is the most corrupt county in the entire country. He mentioned that he hired truck scandal cost the taxpayers $40,000,000. The citizens should demand that the chief law enforcement officer in the county, the sheriff, should do a much better job in the investigation of such fraud and corruption activity and as sheriff, I will make it a point to do so.
Complaints about civil-rights violations by jail guards have surfaced in the past. Have enough steps been taken to resolve that issue- In my opinion, civil-rights violations are not only an infringement of the rights of the inmates, but also these violations involve a significant amount of time and effort to defend. The county is, in essence, a self-insured entity, so not only does the county have to provide a monetary funding for a defense to any civil litigation filed by these inmates (arising out of the civil-rights complaints), but it also would have to pay for any out-of-court settlements along with any adverse verdicts rendered against the county, that would all have to be paid by the taxpayers. Providing security cameras would help curb any civil-rights complaints, especially those that are unfounded that are filed by the inmates (to help prove no violations occurred) and also, the cameras would prevent the guards from being potentially too overzealous toward the inmates.
The sheriff's office just lost a harassment/discrimination lawsuit filed by a former employee that cost the sheriff's office $4,000,000, so it is not just the inmates that file such suits. There must be accountability within the department for these types of actions, or Cook County taxpayers will continue to pay out millions more in the future in regard to similar such lawsuits, that can be completely avoided.
I have developed extensive plans to help increase effective leadership, boost morale among the employees and create more efficient training programs to help the sheriff's office vastly improve in many categories. I will elaborate on these detailed plans once I am formally interviewed by the editorial staff of the Sun-Times.
As the amount of unincorporated area in the county declines over time, what is the future role of the Cook County Sheriff's Police- In these dire economically depressed times, many municipalities are finding their revenues shrinking at an alarming rate and they are finding it extremely difficult to pay their own employees. The sheriff's office is already providing policing efforts in Ford Heights, IL and a number of municipalities such as Sauk Village and Worth to name a few are already looking to abandon their police forces and instead rely upon the sheriff's office for police protection. This creates a significant burden upon the sheriff's office, which must find ways to expand their operations (this makes it even more important for the sheriff's office to add more deputies to patrol the streets by re-organizing their department without raising taxes as discussed earlier).
Another area where the the sheriff's police can help the community would be to provide a high quality of life for the citizens of the county and to help spur the prosperity of the area. In doing so, it would be the expectation that the businesses and residents that have fled Cook County in the past will return to the area to help re-vitalize the county.
Should private process servers be allowed to handle foreclosure cases or should that be done exclusively by the county-
A determination will be made if a quasi public/private partnership can be established for the process of serving summonses in regard to foreclosure cases. Such a partnership would have to be approved by the Cook County Board before it could be implemented and if approved, the sheriff should be in charge with full powers of the entire program.
If elected or re-elected, would you prohibit members of your government staff from contributing to your campaign- Explain.
I feel it would be an injustice to accept any campaign contributions from employees of the sheriff's office if I was running for re-election as sheriff, since it would have the appearance of impropriety. If any candidate engages in such practices, there would be an expectation of those who did contribute to the campaign to secure special favors in return from the sheriff upon his re-election (to the detriment to those employees which did not contribute), which would be an injustice.
What ethics measures have you sponsored or voted for in the past- If elected or re-elected, what new ethics reforms would you support- As sheriff, I will undertake measures to make the Office of Sheriff transparent. We will show the taxpayers how their taxpayer funds are allocated.
Additionally, I will eliminate the no-bid contracts to all outside vendors, so that the fair and equitable practice of opening the bidding process to all legitimate vendors can be undertaken to award such contracts to the lowest bidder, which will save much taxpayer funds. Also, I'll refuse accepting any campaign funding from my employees of the sheriff's office once I become sheriff.

Please paste a brief biography here Fredrick Collins was born and raised on the West Side of Chicago by loving parents who instilled in him American values of truth, justice, and the respect for his fellow man. From these humble beginnings, Frederick's desire was to one day live out the legacy of the two generations before him and serve as a Chicago police officer. Frederick practices his values as a highly respected police officer through his diligent work as a public servant. Frederick continues to be an active church member of the Open Door Apostolic Church, and also volunteers as a mentor at his local Boys and Girls Club. His compassion for the community leads him to serve whenever and wherever he can. Frederick lives by his motto, "if there is a need, help is on the way."
Frederick Collins has a stellar record of unwavering courage with 17 years of dedicated service as a Chicago police officer. He is a committed father of two and a leader in his community. His passion for justice is proven through his relentless efforts to protect the rights of the people at all cost. Frederick Collins is a believer in our great nation's constitution. He is committed to serving the people of Cook County by protecting and preserving their rights as citizens of the United States of America. Frederick is a strong proponent of the second amendment that supports the right of every law abiding citizen to bear arms. He has high regard and respect for the entire constitution which protects such rights. Frederick Collins is committed to taking back our communities from the gangs and violence that has left many of us in fear. His dedication to reform Cook County includes eliminating patronage hiring, machine run politics controlled by the Democrats, and wasteful spending of the Cook County Sheriff's budget.
Frederick Collin's is most importantly a dedicated father. His loving relationship with his two children gives him knowledge and insight on parenting in today's society. Frederick remains faithfully involved in his children's lives. Frederick Collins instills in his children the same American values that were once instilled in him, preparing the next generation to serve with truth, justice, and respect for their fellow man. #Comments_Container, #Comments_Container1,#commentsonly,.StoryInteract{display:none;}

Washington • Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Yasiel Puig is back in the lineup three days after crashing into a wall during a game, but Matt Kemp is not starting.
Puig is listed as batting fifth for the Dodgers against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
He sat out games at Washington on Monday and Tuesday. He rammed his head, left arm and lower left leg against the fence as he tried to track down a double in the ninth inning of Los Angeles' loss at Miami on Sunday.
Manager Don Mattingly says he has not received any medical reports of a problem with Kemp, but the outfielder "seemed a little tired" during the Dodgers' 8-3 victory over Washington on Tuesday.

Still No Love For The Cowboys???
As I sit here Friday night watching Sportscenter, NFL Network and Sportsnation I am getting more and more frustrated. For some reason NO ONE is giving the Cowboys any kind of a chance to win this game against the Eagles Saturday night. Have they not seen what the Cowboys have been doing the last few weeks. Have they not seen how the defense has been DOMINATING the line of scrimmage. I am so tired of not getting respect that is deserved.
To me this has got to be the biggest game Dallas has played in the last few years. They need to go out and show the critics, no wait, go out and SHUT THE CRITICS UP!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sick and tired of no one believing in what the Cowboys are doing right now. They posted BACK TO BACK shut outs for the first time in the history of their existence.
Everyone keeps saying again and again DeSean Jackson is the better receiver and will have a better game. Well not only do I say otherwise but here are a few stats to back me up:
DeSean Jackson has started EVERY game this season for the Eagles and Miles Austin only started after sitting the first 4 games of the season.
Jackson has 63 receptions with 9 touchdowns for a total of 1,167 yards
Austin has 81 receptions with 11 touchdowns for a total of 1,320 yards
Now to me, numbers tell the truth, Miles Austin is a MUCH better reciever than DeSean Jackson. So, let's go Boys. Lets show everyone out there that this year is not like the past, we mean business and we are making a statement. Bring it home Dallas!
AMEN!!! We all know Miles Austin is the much better receiver and is definitely alot more classy. I was disgusted with how childish Jackson and the whole eagles franchise has been disrespecting our Boys. Well, come saturday, the Dallas Cowboys will show everyone that they have earned the respect AND fear the rest of the NFL should show them!
I'm tired of listening to all the cr–ap about our BOYS too. The feagles have always played dirty and made penalties that have not been called, in other words lucky. However, their luck has run out. Americas Team will prove themselves tonight! GO COWBOYS!!!

Sunday, November 9th in Church
8pm to 9pm
Lead by Deacon Andrew and LastCall Ensemble
"The worship given to the Trinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit... must fill our churches also outside the timetable of Masses... This worship must be prominet in all our encounters with the Blessed Sacrament... Adoration of Christ in this sacrament of love must also find expression in various forms of Eucharistic devotion; personal prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, hours of adoration, periods of exposition -- short, prolonged, and annual (Forty Hours) -- Eucharistic benediction, Eucharistic processions, Eucharistic Congresses.... Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of teh world. May our adoration never cease."
Saint John Paul II

Imagine a train speeding down a track, just a few miles away from a wall that it will crash into. You can't see the wall yet, but you're told it's there anyway. As the train chugs down the track, the wall gets closer until it comes into view. Before long, that wall appears bigger and bigger until it is right in front of the train. By that time, there's no way to stop the train in time and you can only hope that the damage isn't catastrophic.
That's the game Washington is playing with our economy.

Visiting information >>
Our Work
The town of Framingham is best known for its busy thoroughfares, and densely populated downtown. This image overshadows a history that is as rich as the history of its neighboring towns, where heritage is a major portion of its economic and cultural base. Framingham's history has taken a back seat to over 60 years of enormous changes that have impacted the town's sense of community. It is time to showcase Framingham's heritage and reap the rewards that benefit other neighboring towns. We do this by providing a rich offering of public events, lectures, exhibitions, celebrations, and tours, we inspire and educate the public, provide community gatherings, and share historical research resources with all. Learn more at What We Do >>
Our Collections
The Framingham History Center's collection of over 12,000 items includes artifacts, photographs, documents and a research library. It focuses on what makes Framingham unique, and on roles that Framingham people have played in regional, national and global events. Learn more at Our Collections >>
Our Historic Buildings
While there are many historic spaces in Framingham, the Centre Common is the focal point for the town's past. Three of the town's most historic buildings – The Village Hall (1834), the Edgell Memorial Library (1872), and the Old Academy (1837) – surround this quintessential New England Town Common. These town-owned buildings are overseen by the Framingham History Center. Not only do they house artifacts spanning four centuries of the town's history, they are symbols of Framingham's continued commitment to educational excellence, civic engagement, and community pride.

"Believe in The Shield!" - Psychological Profiles of the Best Thing Goin'
This is half-factual, half-hypothesizing. I suppose, as any scientific hypothesis would work, I am taking what I have seen thus far from The Shield, and trying to explain it, or put it together in a coherent framework. That involves some evidence on the part of what WWE has put in front of us to witness, and some imagination in how I believe it all fits.
Upon explicating my thoughts on this to myself, I stumbled upon what I believe to be the best metaphor to describe Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns: they are a holy trinity of mind, body, and soul.
Would love to hear your take on the group and/or my ideas, as well. And we're off!
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Seth Rollins
What WWE has really impressed me with, so far, is how they have managed to put all three of these guys over in the same way, and at the same level - i.e., we are really led to believe The Shield has no leader, has no "greater", but that these three men are equal in the eyes of one another, and the audience.
That is not an easy thing to do, but it is the most essential part of their identity. Without all three of them working together in such perfect harmony, they would not be as dangerous. We are really led to believe that The Shield are greater than the sum of their parts (and we can all take a moment to praise JBL for his consistent work selling these guys at TLC).
Having said all that, however, I think it is still important, and also in function with their identity, to say that while none of these men are greater than the other, that they do still revolve around a center; that there is still a gravitational force. That gravitational source, to me, is the
of the group, Dean Ambrose; which leaves Rollins and Reigns as, still essential, but periphery "organs": the
and the
Seth Rollins
is a high-flyer of sorts. He receives the biggest bumps of the group (not by choice, of course) - being pushed through a table, almost slamming through another, and being thrown off a table by Kane. But, besides Rollins receiving big bumps, he has also shown a willingness to put himself through great pain - as evidenced by his attempt to put Ryback through a table at TLC by jumping off a ladder.
As we might expect with someone who is the
, he does not seem to mind physical pain and is willing to take it, if it means getting a message across.
When we were first introduced to Rollins, he was explaining to us, step-by-step, on an intellectual basis, why it was
that The Shield exists
. First there were the wrestlers, who answered to the GMs, who answered to Vince and the Board, who answered to the WWE Universe: a chain of reasoning that leads one to believe decisions are made on the basis of popularity, as opposed to true talent.
Notice his tone when he speaks, and his body language. He never speaks any louder than a reasonable level, and he more-or-less stays in one position while speaking - he is far less animated than Ambrose, who is constantly twitching around, leaning forward, raising his eyebrows, etcetera.
When the video first begins, Rollins is laughing subtly at Michael Cole's question, suggesting Rollins finds it funny that other people don't "get it." He is far less upset about the whole thing, however, than Ambrose appears to be. His disappointment is reflected as a calm, intellectual chuckle to himself as opposed to Ambrose, who shakes his head vigorously and buries it in his chest.
As the mind, Rollins understands The Shield's goals through his head. And the way he speaks, behaves, and reasons reflect that. When he first begins his brief monologue, Rollins mentions "seeing" things clearly, through his eyes. His eyes. Not how he feels about injustice, but that he is witnessing it, through his eyes, and into his brain. And when he speaks, he does not ramble passionately; he states things logically.
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Roman Reigns
Contrast all of what Ambrose and Rollins so far represent, of course, with Roman Reigns. As the
of The Shield, Reigns is your stereotypical enforcer. But, oh boy, he's so much more awesome than that.
Roman Reigns
, in line with his character, is not someone I will ramble too much about because he does not require that much dissection. He is the big man of the group; the protector; he is, himself, a shield for the mind and the soul, acting as its strongest physical line of defense. What you see is exactly what you get.
While Ambrose is the most animated, and Rollins much less so, Reigns is always
almost perfectly still
. In every video, this is true; and, when he speaks, he speaks tersely, with little emotion.
The only time we really see passion from Reigns is during his "war cry" (which is fantastic, by the way) right before their powerbomb. His passion comes out largely through physical altercation, whereas Rollins' comes out more through speaking - even if both are typically more subdued than Ambrose, whose passion comes out everywhere and always, in different directions and in different amounts.
What I like most about Reigns thus far, is that he has emerged as every bit an equal to his counterparts, when most internet fans were much more hyped over Ambrose and Rollins. Reigns, as a sort of underdog, has managed to shine through just as brightly.
Besides the fact WWE has maneuvered around his alleged lack of mic skills by giving him calm, terse things to say in a total bad ass kind of way; the reason Reigns has emerged, in my eyes, as an equal and essential part of The Shield, is that he is better than any recent big man I can remember. And I offer three perfect moments to show you that from The Shield's TLC match with Ryback and Team Hell No.
In the first,
he shakes his head, "No!"
, and gives a sort of crying face just as Kane and Daniel Bryan Irish whip him into a ladder. The whole sequence is sold so well and made Reigns look like he was actually afraid. I think it was a great spot and made him look human.
The other was this all-around fantastic part of the match, where all three members of The Shield
could barely stand on their feet
, including Reigns. I found it absolutely awesome that a big man like Reigns would completely sell out for his physical exhaustion like that, because he should be exhausted after the "war" he went through.
The third is the final moment of the match, when he pins Daniel Bryan. Take a look
at his face
, begging for this to finally be the end.
Both parts of the match really sold the "war" aspect of the bout, and made it so believable that The Shield are both willing and able to do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Which brings us to a man who will one day, I believe, prove to be even more willing-and-able than the others, because he's insane!

Dean Ambrose
Who is the king of selling in the WWE? Dolph Ziggler, I'd like you to meet someone. His name is Dean Ambrose. And I
rest my case
Dean Ambrose
is definitely the most anticipated of the group. Wrestling fans all over tEh inteRWebZ were marking out for Ambrose long before he entered the company - and upon waiting months for his debut, they finally received it.
Thus far, it has lived up to expectations.
Ambrose is the
psychological leader
of The Shield. Whereas Rollins "gets it" on an intellectual level, and is more prone to explaining things through logic, Ambrose "gets it" in his heart and will describe The Shield's motivations in more moral terms. Ambrose most often uses words like
, and
As a
person, the former indy star wears his emotions on his sleeve and is, thus, the most eccentric of the group. What makes him so great is that he takes every opportunity possible to get that message across to you - sometimes with subtlety (raised eyebrows from
0:07 to 0:09
), other times
hitting you across the face with it
Much like Rollins is the
, and therefore puts his
through the aforementioned bumps - showing, therefore, less regard for it - Ambrose is the
because he, too, shows little regard for his physical shell.
Think about who of the group has taken the most bumps. Rollins has taken the
ones, as mentioned above, but Ambrose consistently receives the most damage. This is WWE utilizing his amazing selling to its potential.
At TLC he took a Chokeslam through a chair and a Shell Shocked - both of which would have presumably ended the bout. But upon pin-saving efforts from his teammates, the match continued, and it never took too much time for Ambrose to be back on his feet. He took so much abuse, but kept coming back for more: building him up as a man who can withstand much physical pain or one who completely disregards it.
As the
of The Shield, Ambrose is the metaphorical center of the group. This is reflected in the amount of face time he gets on television (the most), the amount of mic time he gets (also the most), the amount of damage he takes (the most), and also the amount of in-ring time he gets (the most). It is also reflected in their handheld promos - where he is in the center - and their matches.
When the TLC match began, who was exchanging chops with Ryback in the middle of the ring while Rollins and Reigns were outside of it? Dean Ambrose. Later in the match, who was consistently in the middle of the ring delivering a DDT to Kane, receiving finishers from Kane and Ryback, receiving that well-executed jumping clothesline bump from Kane, and generally in the middle of the step-by-step action? Dean Ambrose.
When The Shield interrupted Ric Flair's return, it was Ambrose who went
toe-to-toe with Flair
in the middle of the ring, knocking him to the mat and proclaiming, "Stay down, Ric!", with his finger in Flair's face. The other two Shield members worked outside the ring.
While Rollins and Reigns have been on the receiving or giving end of the large bumps, respectively; Ambrose is the one who tells most of the match story in the middle of the ring - allowing his eccentricities to be given their proper place, center-stage.
When their TLC match is finally over, and Ryback is still somehow on his feet, so somehow is Dean Ambrose, and he gives us
the final line
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
The End of The Shield
Ambrose is the crazy, impassioned soul of The Shield. He's the center of it, the energy behind it, the emotion that makes it all work. Combine that with the body (Reigns) and the mind (Rollins), and you get a sort of divine trinity that is being booked thus far as unbreakable.
But their union is so strong because they each compliment one another so well. So how does that union eventually break?
Well, it will go one of three ways, in my opinion; all of which revolve around the center of the group, Dean Ambrose:
Dean will be the first to leave, prompted by a disgust with where the group is heading, or by some recent action of Rollins and Reigns. He will talk about how The Shield lost its way.
If it's a face turn, he may talk about how Rollins/Reigns let the power go to their heads (though a face turn would make little sense for him). If a heel turn, he will mention how they have become soft in their execution of The Shield's goals. Perhaps Rollins/Reigns help out a face wrestler, despite Dean's admonition.
Ambrose will be the last one to leave. One at a time, Reigns and Rollins grow increasingly disillusioned with The Shield's purpose and quit the group.
Reigns is the first to leave, believing himself capable of handling his own business. Rollins is next to go, shortly thereafter, citing intellectual disagreement with Ambrose over what The Shield is really accomplishing; or perhaps Rollins forms a friendship with a face wrestler outside of The Shield, and one day prevents Ambrose from attacking him.
This leaves Ambrose all alone. The Shield still exists, but it is only Ambrose that is left to carry on the mission that was truly his all along.
The last option, and my personal favorite, leaves us with a similar resolution as #2: Ambrose is left all alone to carry on The Shield's mission, since it was, after all, his emotional love-child from the start - but how we get to that point is a little different.
Instead of Reigns and Rollins leaving separately, Ambrose goes progressively bonkers. Week-by-week, The Shield continue to attack certain wrestlers, but Ambrose's thirst for justice takes him to ever-greater heights of violence. He begins to seriously injure wrestlers and/or otherwise attempt to end their careers.
Backstage, Ambrose constantly harps on the two men that they need to step things up a notch, that in order to achieve their purpose they must be more aggressive, more merciless, more willing to do anything and everything. They must be "ever vigilant."
The two eventually turn on him when he has a chair around some popular face wrestler's neck and is going to break it by jumping off the turnbuckle. Reigns and Rollins get in his way and tell him they won't let him do it, turning them face in the process. Ambrose goes nuts and attacks them. That's key. They don't attack Ambrose. He descends the turnbuckles and decides himself to deliver the first blow.
He puts up a great fight and looks positively insane, but the other two use the numbers game to eventually get the better of him, putting him through an announce table with a double powerbomb and, looking very emotional and distraught, they proceed into the ring to help the face wrestler to his feet, and assist him up the ramp.
The camera zooms on Ambrose who slowly begins to crawl towards the ring, looking "like a man possessed", as the cliché goes.
Reigns and Rollins, citing The Shield's corruption at the hands of the maniacal man, continue in the next few weeks with a new mission of their own: stop Dean Ambrose. Rollins explains the new mission to everyone, while Reigns acts as enforcer. This leaves Ambrose as the outcast; the loner; the "lone wolf"; the shadowy figure in the dark; the violent, misunderstood misfit who acts as his own messiah; etcetera.
It continues the metaphor, with the soul long outliving the body and the mind; and it also adds to the soon-to-be legend of the madman, Dean Ambrose: "I
The Shield!"
Regardless of what happens, I have not been so excited to watch WWE television in a long time. I truly believe, much like CM Punk's infamous worked shoot in July of 2011, that huge things are in store for The Shield, and that they are, like Punk, harbingers of an edgier, more daring product.
Hopefully, The Shield stick around for a bit and don't break up anytime soon because they are three very talented guys who work extremely well together. They all exude that "it factor" that WWE allegedly craves; and, together, they are a believable, powerful force.
2013 will be a good year for WWE. You just have to

Re: "Believe in The Shield!" - Psychological Profiles of the Best Thing Goin'
Very interesting read. I always sensed a lot of intricacy behind the Shield's concept, and I think you hit the nail on the head with this. Props.
Also, the third idea for their eventual destruction is excellent.

Re: "Believe in The Shield!" - Psychological Profiles of the Best Thing Goin'
I see Seth as the true believer to the cause, the naive idealist who believes it's really about honor, principles. Ambrose is they nihilist, the cynic who is there to watch the wwe burn and Reign don't give any fucks, didn't believe Ambrose's shit but didn't care not to go along with it - he's just there to kick ass. So I guess I'd disagree with Rollins being the mind - he's more of the believer, the soul, whereas Ambrose is the (master)mind behind the whole thing.
The break-up would have Rollins waking up to Ambrose's BS he's been swallowing and as a result of questioning things, Ambrose and Reigns turn on Rollins. This leads to a Rollins vs Ambrose/Reigns feud, potentially with Rollins bringing in a partner (from the main roster) to even the odds and Shield debuting a new member (from developmental) to be back at 3.

Great post, great read. Best thing I've read on this forum which is mostly stupid bullshit. You clearly put a lot thought and time into it.
I love the third option of the Shield Ending and I'm hoping that is what will happen.

To add to the above - I think too often, we see people on this site focus either on moronic topics, or find little things and use them as a way to pick apart a wrestler for whatever reason. The site tends to be overly negative, for whatever reason. This is a great example of how you can look at the details of a performance and begin to create a positive discussion.
Thanks again for this!

Nothing much happens in the new video for Matthew Dear's spectral thump "Slowdance", the final single from his BNM'ed 2010 album Black City. Director Charles Bergquist gives us images of a model-looking chick rolling around on a bed and mysterious black inkblots floating in front of the camera, all rendered in sumptuous black-and-white. There's a whole lot of atmosphere at work here.
Check out the video below or at Pitchfork.tv. And also below, we've got Dear's tour dates; he has shows coming up in Europe, as well as one in America.

UPDATE: How to Dress Well also recently posted a meditative, bare-bones cover of R. Kelly's "I Wish" on his website. Stream it after the jump.
