The National Institute of Standards and Technology hopes its new guidelines for IT security will beget a systems engineering process in which security is intrinsic to product design rather than an afterthought.
The guidelines, posted May 12, offer best practices for information systems security based on international engineering standards. They are the culmination of a two-year process that co-author Ron Ross said was not reactive to specific cyber threats like Heartbleed but rather underpinned by broad security principles.
"I think every ... industry will look at this a little differently, depending on what niche they occupy," said Ross, who is a fellow in NIST's Computer Security Division.
Given the Pentagon's active role in developing the guidelines, defense firms might take a particular interest in how the document is applied. NIST worked "really closely" with DOD in developing the engineering guidelines, Ross said, building on a task force formed with intelligence agencies in 2009 to standardize information security for the federal government.
With a massive federal procurement footprint, how the defense industry applies the new guidelines could serve as an example to others, he added. The final document will have an appendix dedicated to engineering processes for DOD programs.
The guidelines are voluntary and applicable to federal agencies and private firms, which will have to weigh the trade-off between compliance expenses and the branding benefits from touting NIST-compliant products. "We don't want to tell industry how to do their job … but we can ask them to use best practices and point them to things that we think are appropriate," Ross said.
He called investing in an extra layer of security for federal agencies "the heavy lift [that] may be necessary to survive in the modern world of cyber threats."
Public comments on the NIST draft document are due July 11. The agency expects to issue a final version in December.

Tunis: Tunisia`s voters braced for
presidential and legislative elections expected to grant
another landslide victory to President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali
on Sunday despite timid measures by authorities to let the
nascent opposition have its say.
Ben Ali, 72, is running for a fifth, 5-year term, after
taking power in a bloodless palace coup in 1987 that
authorities dub "The Change." He was last re-elected in 2004
with more than 94 percent of votes, a drop from his previous
victories, which oscillated between 99.2 and 99.7 percent.
"To say there is very, very, very little suspense about
his re-election is a euphemism," said Hatem, a shopkeeper in
central Tunis who only gave his first name because he didn`t
want to appear criticising the country`s leadership.
Despite criticism by human rights groups, many Tunisian
voters see continuity as a good thing in this Mediterranean
tourist haven, a strong diplomatic and business ally of the
United States and Europe and a relatively secular, moderate
player in the Arab world.
Under the current constitution, it is the last time Ben
Ali can run for president, because the age limit is set at 75.
Ben Ali faces three, low-profile opponents. He is backed
by virtually every labour union and his party Constitutional
and Democratic Rally or RCD, which has been continuously in
power since Tunisia`s independence from France in 1956.

UN Secretary-General, OPCW Director-General Urge States not Party to the Chemical Weapons Convention to Join without Delay
The United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, and the OPCW Director-General, Mr. Ahmet Üzümcü, have addressed a joint communication to the heads of State or Government of each of the eight States that are not Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention. The letters underscore the importance of achieving the universality of the Convention as a condition necessary to attain a world free from chemical weapons. These States have, therefore, been strongly urged to join the Convention "without delay."
The Convention currently has 188 States Party representing more than 98 per cent of the world's population and chemical industry, leaving only Angola, Egypt, Israel, Myanmar, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan and Syria as the States that remain outside the treaty.
The letter states that "the continuing growth in the membership of the (OPCW)… is evidence that the prohibition against the development, production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons constitutes a universal norm." The letter further calls for the respective governments to undertake a commitment to the legally-binding prohibition against chemical weapons in order to consolidate these norms and to ensure that such weapons are never used again.
Achieving universality of the Convention is a priority goal of the both the OPCW and the United Nations. This was stressed at a high-level meeting held at the UN Headquarters in New York on 1 October to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the entry into force of the Convention. Speaking on the occasion, the UN Secretary-General highlighted the importance of universality of the Convention and said that the use of chemical weapons by any country would be "an outrageous crime with dire consequences."

High school football: Highland celebrates senior night with victory over Box Elder 9-7
Senior night at Highland High School came down to the final seconds of the game as the Rams (6-4) defeated non-region opponent Box Elder (6-4) 9-7 with a successful field goal by junior Mike Kerr.
The game, which might be one of the fastest played in Highland's season, showcased two playoff-bound run-style teams who were able to move the ball up and down the field but struggled to cross the goal line. It wasn't until almost the end of the second quarter when, on a short 2-yard keeper by Box Elder quarterback Shad Watson, the game's tie-break finally came to an end.
Box Elder head coach Robbie Gunter was proud of his team's efforts, even though they didn't pay off in the end.
"We've had a good season and it's not over," Gunter said. "Highland is a quality team who was just able to pull it out at the last part. I'm very proud of my kids and we still have football to play, so we have to keep looking forward."
Highland was finally able to put points on the board at the end of the third quarter with a 2-yard carry by Pisinga Vaenuku, but a blocked point-after attempt left them unable to take the game into overtime if necessary. The fourth quarter progressed without much excitement until those last few seconds when Kerr's field goal sealed the night.
Both coaches agreed that the game, even though it was non-regional and didn't affect their playoff eligibility, was well worth the effort, as both teams are experienced post-season veterans. In 2011 Box Elder advanced through to the first round and then lost to Olympus, while Highland made it through to the quarterfinals, losing to eventual 4A state champion Logan.
Highland head coach Brody Benson said he was glad the seniors could go out on a sweet victory but that they can't be happy yet. They face a play-in game on Tuesday against an undetermined opponent just for the chance to face the post-season again.
"Box Elder is a good program, a playoff school, and there's a good chance we could see them again down the road should we make it; we've got to remain hungry and clean up any mistakes in order for us to achieve our goals," Benson said.
Playoff rounds for 3A, 4A and 5A football all begin at region sites on Oct. 26 and 27 and will be covered by the Deseret News and on DeseretNews.com.

500 attend Conway vigil for Abigail; mom pleads for information
Abigail Hernandez's mother, Zenya Hernandez, addresses Saturday's gathering, as Paul Kirsch of the White Mountain Milers holds a microphone and as Abigail's sister, Sarah, looks on. (DAN SEUFERT/Union Leader Correspondent)
"Somebody knows about what happened" to Abigail, she said, urging crowd members to watch others around them "who may have changed their behavior" since Abigail's disappearance.
Abigail's sister, Sarah, issued a simple plea: "Abby, I really miss you. We really want you back."
Hernandez was last seen leaving Kennett High School on Oct. 9, just days before her 15th birthday on Oct. 12.
Authorities have extensively searched the Cranmore Mountain area, and were back in the field Saturday joining teams of volunteer searchers from The Mission for the Missing.
Local residents and businesses helped the White Mountain Milers running club organize the vigil, said Paul Kirsch of the club. The local Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's stores provided coffee.
The club is hosting its annual half-marathon in town Sunday. Over the past several years, the club has raised and donated more than $80,000 in scholarship funds for area students, Kirsch said.

Yes, that about sums it up. But thou should not listen to people, including myself at times, who tell you how screwed you are.
This is why people listen to the Ron Paul's and Tom Wood's of the world because they don't end on the note we're all screwed. They go one step further tapping into their wells of optimism to remind you that it is not about being screwed. It is about fighting the good fight and liberty is worth advocating for.

Did Someone Really Steal From Justin Bieber?!
The internet was blowing up recently after Justin Bieber tweeted to his fans that someone had stolen a laptop with lots of personal, private footage on it. Everyone around the world was shocked that someone could do something so terrible. I came across this video below that has a clip explaining it all.
After seeing that, I came across some interesting tweets from Bieber that came out right before his brand new video.
If you haven't seen his new video for "Beauty And The Beat" Ft. Nicki Minaj, you should check it out below because it sure seems like this was all a creative publicity stunt that Bieber put on all of us ;)
What do YOU think about all of this?!

Chris Brown Tweets And Deletes Photo With Transexual Fan
Hundreds of members of Team Breezy have reposted a Tweet Chris Brown sent and has since deleted, aimed at hip hop gossip site Media Take Out. The tweet reportedly included a photo of Brown with a transexual fan and the message, "MTO!!! I have all kinds of fans that come to my shows! I respect each an every one of them!" The large majority of Brown's Twitter fans have offered a positive reaction to the Tweet in a show of support for the singer.
Brown got a not-so-positive reaction from the detractor he was trying to bait, however. As part of what appears to be an on-going battle with the gossip site, Media Take Out responded in kind by reposting the picture with the commentary, "Look at the way Chris is CHEESING . . . and the way he's leaning in like that . . . we knew it!!!"
Chris Brown has faced a lot of ire in the past for his use of anti-gay slurs, from a 2010 Twitter rant between the singer and B2K's Raz-B that ended in a graphic slur from Brown to getting caught on tape by TMZ using "gay" as an insult. Brown offered no further comment on the matter, other than this reaffirming Tweet to his fans:
I love my fans! All the special moments in life have been because of you! I'm grateful!

Sub or buying Zen?
What would be considered the wisest choice?
I know that a subcription gives you nice things at certain points (after being subscribed for a number of days) but i am trying to figure out if it is still worth it to shell out real money for this game...
Any help/insight on the matter will be much appreciated! :)
I would tell anyone to Sub for 1 month just to get some of the Gold perks: extra bank slots, etc.
After that I would tell people to go back to Silver and play for Dilithium and buy Zen.
If you are a casual player playing a few hours a week and a character or 3, just pay as you go as a Silver player. If you are playing a lot and have lots of character a subscription may be worth in in all of the free services that Golds receive (extra inventory and bank slots, free acount bank, free costume changes, free skills respec for each earned rank which all cost zen for silvers), then a subscription or lifetime account may be the way to go.
Good, looks like you're all set then :) You can use the bonus time from the box sets to give you a 'taste' for the game, and decide for yourself if STO is a worthwhile investment of time and maybe a small bit of cash in the long run.
For me I went with the 'sub one month for extra slots and 5 respecs per toon' and cancelled my subscription when said month was up. Subscribing is simply not worth it right now as there are not enough perks for established characters.
The only cash purchases I made besides the subscription were for the 1 billion EC cap, 21st century dress set and my first c-store ship for TNG roleplay was the Galaxy retrofit.
With 4 toons at VA and well established in Elite STF and earning well in excess of 8k Dilithium a day, I no longer have to use real money for z-store purchases.
Dilithium is more valuable now due to the Starbase construction requiring lots of it. I sort of note that many players are buying zen to exchange for dil which has driven the dil - zen exchange rate to literally rock bottom prices.
In short, save the cash for RL and use dilithium savings for in-game purchases.
I am now saving up for my second z-store ship, which can be either the Nebula for more TNG roleplay, or the Armitage for a competitive T5+ Fed warship.
Great more good advice that saves me some real cash thanks!
I will stick with the two editions i have and go from there, still a long way for me to reach higher levels since i like to take things a bit slower and go from there! :cool:

Back pain is experienced by millions of people annually, and it is caused by a wide range of different reasons. Many people think it is simply caused by old age or a weak body, but, in reality, those are only a fraction of the amount of issues that cause back pain. With some, back problem are hereditary or are born with it. With others, these pains come from activities and strenuous actions that a person chooses to make, ultimately risking their body and having to deal with such issues.
There are four main factors that cause severe back pain. Aging plays a massive role in back problems due to the body naturally deteriorating after time. This causes problems, such as Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), and breaks down cartilage, potentially causing bulging discs and damaged nerves. Aging is part of life and there is no real cure for back pains caused by aging. However, there are therapeutic and non-invasive ways to relieve that pain and feel more comfortable.
Injuries are another reason for back pain. Many times athletes, manual labor workers, and other people who tend to be overly active injure themselves more easily than those who are less active. Injuries to the spine can cause lingering, chronic back pain, and, often times, surgery might be recommended.
Spinal pain is also caused by hereditary or acquired conditions. Some people are born with diseases such as scoliosis or hereditary arthritis. Conversely, some women endure severe back and neck pain during their 9 month pregnancy. Many of these issues cause fractures and sprains in the spinal column that lead to both acute and chronic back and neck pain.
Finally, one of the least causes for back pains is tumors and infections. While tumors and infections can cause back pain, it is very uncommon, but can still affect a person by causing inflammation by "suffocating" or tightening the disc or vertebra, resulting in a restriction of movement.
Back pain treatments differ depending on the location of the focal point of the pain. Massages, heat pads, and nuerostimulation (stimulating the nerves) can release tension and relax muscles, temporarily easing pain. Other treatments include injections of steroids, muscle relaxers, and light exercise. In any case, consult a physician at the start of back pain, as it's residual effects can be costly, both physically and financially, if it is not immediately taken care of.

Best Sleeping Positions for Back Pain
If you are suffering from back pain, you know how difficult it can be to get a comfortable night's sleep and to awake without experiencing pain or stiffness. Many different factors can influence your sleep quality, but one of the most crucial elements is your sleep position. Some are better than others for combating discomfort and getting proper recuperative rest. Sleeping on Your Back Some sleepers swear by this position, while others actively avoid it. Nevertheless, many people prefer this sleep position or find themselves in it when they wake. To make the best of back sleeping, you should consider placing a pillow underneath your head and neck and another underneath your knees to relieve pressure on the back. The posture places the back in its most natural, aligned positioning. This can also help with cramping; however, for those who snore, this position is likely to exacerbate the condition. Sleeping on Your Side One of the most popular sleep positions, side sleeping is good for reducing back strain. Placing a pillow between your knees or thighs can help reduce pressure on the hips and other joints. A full sized body pillow is less likely to slip out during the night and can be very comfortable. If you tend to roll one hip forward, you should use caution and try to avoid doing so, because it can increase both lower back and hip pain. This position can also help with sinus pressure; however, those with shoulder pain may find it markedly less comfortable. To alleviate that, switch sides during the night when possible. Sleeping on Your Stomach Not a highly recommended position, but one that makes many people feel more secure as they drift off to sleep, stomach sleeping is a more challenging sleep option for those with back pain. The answer is to sleep with a pillow beneath your pelvis and abdomen, easing the curve of the spine. You may want to forego resting your head on a pillow in this position. For those with some types of degenerative disc disease or paracentral disc herniation, stomach sleeping may help, but otherwise, if possible, you may wish to give up this position, as it offers few benefits beyond potential psychological comfort. If you have tried all of these positions and are still having back pain issues, contact us for more information and potential solutions for your pain and sleep quality issues.

Jun 07, 2012 GMTThe cracking of at least six million passwords from LinkedIn this week (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18338956) had me scrambling to change my own password. It also has me considering whether LinkedIn is a social media site I could do without. But mainly, it has me thinking how predictable -- and, in many ways, how useless -- the response has been.The problem is not that LinkedIn hasn't handled the situation well by the usual standards. The company responded quickly, and posted blogs telling users what was happening, what would happen, and how to set a strong a password...

May 28, 2012 GMTI was nonplussed about Facebook becoming a public company. Part of my reaction was due to the fact that I'd been expecting the IPO for some time. An even larger part is attributable to my deep-misgivings about Facebook, for all the usual reasons from privacy concerns to the amount of time it can suck up. But I took a while to realize the greatest source of my reaction: I've seen it all before.The year was 1999. I had newly discovered free and open source software (FOSS)), and was newly employed in a company on its cutting edge (or so I thought at the time).

May 24, 2012 GMTWhenever I review a new desktop environment, someone is sure to comment that desktops are obsolete.

So far, mobile interfaces have done little innovating, and mostly borrowed unthinkingly from traditional desktops.Enthusiasts always exaggerate the impact of new technologies, and mobile devices are no exception. As Larry Cafiero has pointed out repeatedly, while mobile devices are undoubtedly growing in number, traditional computers are not about to disappear...
May 09, 2012 GMTSixteen months after its last release. OpenOffice.org has released version 3.4, its first as an Apache Incubator project.

The ideal strategy?

Several times, I urged the advantages of an active online presence But, more often than not, those with whom I was talking balked at the idea, citing worries about copyright violation. Their reaction was a reminder of just how different the attitudes are in the free software and open source community from those of the general public -- and how hard that difference can be to overcome.Mind you, I sympathize with their concerns.

Restored Dallas Theatre's marquee to signal relocated business
Another snow storm gave York, Pa., Daily Record/Sunday News photographer Paul Kuehnel an opportunity to make a two-fer photo: People dealing with the snow and and update on the old Dallas Theatre. Paul reports that Dallastown's The Graphix Loft plans to restore the marquee – new lighting and fresh paint. The silk screen business, planning to open in the old theater this summer, deals with custom design and logos and all such. A company like that needs a good sign, and there could be nothing better than a former movie house marquee.

When the weather was nice and tobacco was king in York, Pa.
We'll go back to a summer scene on this snowy day. Here, Norman Rishel is seen in this tobacco patch on his family's Manchester Township farm. The tobacco was rolled into cigars in Emigsville, the closest village, according to Dianne Bowders, who provided this photo and information plus other photos to YDR.com's online gallery Your Photos. Most of York County's tobacco was grown in its eastern part, particularly along the river. So Emigsville would have fallen into that zone. One hundred years ago, cigarmaking from this tobacco and leaves imported from elsewhere formed York County's largest industry.
'Hot blobs of mint' and other memories from Manchester and Mount Wolf
This little park is on the square of this neat York County, Pa. town. You might drive by it every day without thinking much about it. But it shows efforts to maintain community in a constantly changing county. This park sits on one of the corners of Manchester borough's square. It's the image that is tied to census information at YDR.com's Census page. To find out about Manchester, check out: U.S. Census. Mount Wolf's on there, too.

Obituary: Mary Ann Ruff
Date: June 26, 2012
by: Observer Staff
Mary Ann Ruff, of Longboat Key and formerly of Columbus, Ind., died June 22. She was 81.
Mrs. Ruff grew up in Springfield, Ill., and attended the University of Illinois, where she graduated in 1952 with a degree in education. One of her outstanding accomplishments was leading her Chi Omega sorority to victory in the highly prestigious University Vocal Competition.
She was married to Robert T. Ruff in 1952. She taught kindergarten and third grade for several years following graduation and became a full-time homemaker in Columbus for almost 30 years. After retiring to Longboat Key, she became active in the University of Illinois Alumni Club, serving as president for 10 years. She was also involved with Alums and Sequel, the Sarasota Symphony and the Sarasota Opera Guild. Music always had a strong influence on her life.
Mrs. Ruff is survived by her husband, Robert T. Ruff; two daughters, Katheryn Ruff and Elizabeth Rutledge; and four grandchildren.
A memorial celebration will be held July 2, at the Longboat Key Club and Resort for family and friends. Mrs. Ruff will be buried at a private graveside ceremony in Springfield, Ill.
Instead of flowers, donations may be sent to the Sarasota Opera Guild, 61 N. Pineapple Ave., Sarasota, Fla., 34236.

Ukraine sits on the precipice of civil war. Beneath the ostensible storyline of protests against the government of Viktor Yanukovych and recent laws it's enacted lies what is likely an insuperable rift between the eastern and western regions of the country.
The east, archetyped by Sovietized industrial places such as Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk, leans toward Russia. This is Yanokovych country. Russia's supreme leader Vladimir Putin lurks in the background of any discussion here.
The west, personified by the tech-savvy city of Lviv, feels close to is Western European neighbors and the United States. This is the realm of Viktor Yusschenko, the former president known for being poisoned, disfigured, and almost killed by his political opponents. It's also the side that the intellectual heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko has chosen.
Kiev, the nation's capital and site of the most visible current protests, sits in West geographically but is a city that has also played an important role in Russian history over the centuries. It straddles the powerful Dnieper River, which runs the course of the country.
This fight does not involve Marquess of Queensberry rules, however. It's loud, chaotic, violent, and becoming lethal. Soon it may become tragic.
The Apolitical Blues
We are apolitical at the Tau Institute and in the research we conduct. Our belief is that technology is a rising tide that lifts all boats, and that the countries with the most dedicated commitment to ICT will be those improve their socio-economic conditions and the lives of their people most dramatically over the long haul.
Ukraine scores very well in our research. Although it finishes only 39th overall among the 102 nations we survey, It's among the world leaders overall, Ukraine is a clear leader within its income tier, and scores among the highest when it comes to raw potential.
(For those uninitiated with our research, we integrate several technology and socio-economic factors into unique algorithms that are adjusted for income levels and cost of living. The result are relative, "pound-for-pound" rankings that give developing nations a playing field that's more equal when being compared to the highly developed nations of the world.)
We also understand that technology can be disruptive. It is glib to characterize any of the civial disturbances and outright revolutions of recent years as being caused by Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. However, ubiquitous smartphones, wireless connections, and the swiftness of social media clearly play a role in most of these struggles.
We've created a "Goldilocks" definition in our raw potential rankings. Ukraine, by finishing near the top of them, is one of the countries that seems to be "too hot." (Other countries fitting this description include Bulgaria, Romania, swathes of Eastern Africa, and Vietnam.)
By counter-example, the USA, Italy, and South Africa are just three countries that seem to running "too cold." Goldilocks Nations include Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Thailand, Malaysia, Ecuador, and a few others.
What Now?
So here we are. Ukraine is being riven by conflict and violence, with the threat of all-out war looming. Its capital city sits at the inflection point of all conflict, reminding one of Bruseels and its eternal balance between Flemish and French. But Ukraine's conflict is not linguistic or particularly ethnic. It doesn't have the well-defined tribal fault line that allowed the Czech Republic and Slovakia to separate peacefully (and to a lesser extent, that allowed Slovenia to slip away from Yugoslavia),
Russia's Putin seems to become more imperial by the hour, doing nothing to earn Russia love or respect. The United States' most recent statement on the matter threatened sanctions and contributed nothing positive to the discussion.
The USA-Russia relationship is highly reminiscent of the USA-Soviet days that we had hoped were in the past. Both countries have seemingly done their best to exacerbate the situation in recent years, the US by being too aggressive in courting Ukraine as a NATO partner, and Putin by just being Putin.
Our research shows Ukraine's potential. Our contacts there have provided us with valuable information in the past about tech development in several regions of the country. People at organizations such as the Ukrainian High-Tech Initiatve are doing great work in working to develop Ukraine as a country with a strong ICT infrastructure, and ultimately, strong society.
We don't make specific, yes-or-no recommendations. But we do see Ukraine's potential, particularly in the West. We hope that the nation can keep itself together in coming days. But if not, we encourage a clear-eyed viewing of the writing on the wall and a national partition that is peaceful and practical.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.
