2nd serve
Im a junior player 13 years old been playing for about 8 months i rate myself about 3.5 and was trying to really develop a 2nd serve whats better topspin or slice serve? what easier?
top slice serve has the same motion as the flat serve, except that the contact is made earlier in the pronation... so, slice serve is easier.
Learn both. Slice might be easier to develop first.
Top spin serve will definitely be more difficult to learn first. Although, both are important, I would start with the slice.
Key is to have very similar first and second serve. The only difference is on the first serve racket goes forward and through the ball for pace, and on second one you want to hit upward and brush the back of the ball for arch and spin.
For learning a second serve, slice sidespin for shorter players, topspin with some slice for taller players.
That's the easiest.
doesn't the short guy needs topspin more than the tall guy?
I've been observing tennis for about 30 years. We're talking here about learning a consistent, directional, second serve. NOT about telling a pro tennis player how to hit his second serve.
If you don't have a second serve yet, you're still not quite comfortable serving with a continental grip. The conti grip forces you to pronate to hit a flat first serve, and you naturally chop the ball if you don't pronate. Use this chop effect to slice a second serve, same swingspeed, but chop and add slice to the ball.
Once you can hit a sidespin second serve, you start throwing the ball up more over your head, so you add topspin, but that's only after you're confident with a FAST swingspeed.
If you start with a topspin serve, having never sliced, you will lose confidence in your second serve because you never ever swung fast on a second serve and relied on it's spin to slow down the ball and get it in. Right in the middle of your second serve sessions, it will break down totally, and in a match, it will totally break down for sure.
Confidence in the swing speed first, THEN add the topspin / kick component.
no... my question was why does it have anything to do with being tall or short.
Y indeed.
Why is the sky blue?
Why do stars twinkle?
I'll try. It's something I've observed.
Shorter players tend not to hit 140 mph serves. Meaning, their swingspeed is less fast than taller guys. With a fast swing speed, you want to be able to use that fast swing speed to get the ball IN, every time, on second serves.
Back to shorter players. Slower swing speed, can we agree? Function of less leverage and that sorta stuff...no disrespect for OliverRochus.
So a sidespin second serve can arc IN with assist from gravity, lack of ball speed, air resistance, BUT, a lower strikepoint leading to a smaller target area...which is the counter, but maybe here offset by the slower swing speed and slower ball speed.... MAYBE. We are speculating here.
And, almost as important, since shorter players generally tend to stay back and play a more defensive type of tennis, they don't NEED a really fast moving ball. In fact, a slower moving serve allows them to get in better defensive position to defend against a hard return of their serve!
Offense and defense require diferent criteria to succeed. Speed, surprise, quickness is advantageous to offense. Control is vital in defense. Control is helped when your serve allows you to get in defensive position before the return bounces into a corner of your court from the return.
Possibly, is all I'm saying....
At 13 with 8-months of experience, I would think it is unlikely that you are hitting a proper flat first serve. Your best bet is to develop a slice serve first. This can be used both as a first and second serve. It is easier to learn than a flat serve and more reliable. You will also be surprised how effective the slight amount of movement is in keeping your opponents from going on the offensive.
It will also force you to be in the "palm down" position at the top. This will make it much easier to transition to an effective flat serve with proper form. A topspin serve is very similar to a slice so this will be an easy transition as well.
but the entire paragraph above sounds like total fallacy... you can basically switch the words 'tall' and 'short' around and it will still make the same amount of sense (or the lack of).
happy new year Lee.
You're prolly correct....
BUT, given 30 years of watching tennis, and that mostly includes player's just starting out, NOT Laver, Barrasetchi, or Chang, there is a definete noticeable trend here.
Shorter player's DON'T hit as hard serves as tall players, and don't need to.
They win with defense and consistency, NOT with huge service winners.
Maybe you should do some positive thinking on your own, instead of just negatively reacting to everything your read.
And try some practical experience applications. Go to a tennis court, look at beginner's learning a conti grip serve, and what do you see?
You obviously never looked.
oh Lee - I am a positive thinking kind of guy.
I say slice for short and tall. Only hobbit short needs a kicker.
boy he must be lacking on the other strokes, especially since some have said
the serve is so clearly the most important stroke!
Actually I'd tend to agree that he should never get broke at 3.0 with that serve, lol.

Picture: Paul Bettany leaving Il Sole restaurant on Sunset Boulevard Los Angeles, California - 12.10.07
Paul Bettany disappointed his wife Jennifer Connolly by bulking up for new film THE DA VINCI CODE - because she liked him better as a pale, skinny Englishman. The actor, who plays evil monk SILAS in director Ron Howard's movie, quit his vices and hit the gym in an effort to transform his body. But Oscar-winner Connelly didn't like the new, hard-bodied Bettany. He says, "I was the strongest I've ever been. "I think she was a bit sad about it. Because when we got married, she bought this very, very skinny, pale Englishman who drank and smoked, and now I do none of those things."

To Obama, Mid-East Violence and Murders: "Bumps in the Road", Israel: "Noise"
In comments made during a CBS '60 Minutes' interview, Barack Obama described violent attacks on embassies in the Middle East and the murder of US ambassador Chris Stevens and three others, as "bumps in the road".
When asked if recent events in the Middle East had changed his outlook on supporting the Arab Spring, Obama responded: "Well, I'd said even at the time that this is going to be a rocky path. The question presumes that somehow we could have stopped this wave of change.: I think it was absolutely the right thing for us to do to align ourselves with democracy, universal right, a notion that people have to be able to participate in their own governance. : : But I was pretty certain and continue to be pretty certain that there are going to be bumps in the road because, you know, in a lot of these places, the one organizing principle has been Islam."
A coordinated military maneuver, confirmed by the head of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center as a terrorist attack, that employed rocket propelled grenades and other heavy weapons, which was launched on the anniversary on 9/11 against an American embassy that directly led to the death of four Americans, including an ambassador, is a "bump in the road"?
During the interview, Obama admitted that his campaign ads had made mistakes, but somehow, CBS News didn't find that piece of information newsworthy enough to share with their viewers.
When asked if he was disturbed by fact checkers proving assertions in his ads were untrue, Obama responded: : "Do we see sometimes us going overboard in our campaign, are there mistakes that are made, areas where there is no doubt somebody could dispute how we are presenting things? You know, that happens in politics."
That happens in politics when a campaign cannot run on its record in office, is so desperate to win that it deems it necessary to employ every long used dirty "progressive" smear tactic and suffers from a severe shortage of ethics, morals and socially redeeming qualities.
Remember when the United States was unquestionably Israel's strongest ally?: Not anymore.: According to Obama, Israel is merely "one of our closest allies in the region".
Since his inauguration, Obama has attempted to appease the Islamist world with an "even-handed" approach.: Now Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has serious doubts about American resolve to stand behind Israel.
For his part, Obama admitted to viewing Netanyahu's requests for the U.S. to take a harder stance against Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons as "noise" he must ignore when making American security decisions.
Is it sheer coincidence that the exact same word was used to describe Israel by Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?: : "I have spoken about this topic at length, previously. We generally speaking do not take very seriously the issue of the Zionists and the possible dangers emanating from them. Of course they would love to find a way for their own salvation by making a lot of noise and to raise stakes in order to save themselves. But I do not believe they will succeed. Iran is also a very well recognized country and her defensive powers are very clear."
Is this any way for America to conduct foreign policy?: Does having cities in twenty different countries descend into weeks of anti-American violence and murder sound like a "bump in the road" or more like just cause for alarm? : Does treating long-time ally Israel like they are simply "one of our closest allies in the region" sound like a recipe for successfully enlisting new allies in the future?: Is this what Americans view as making America safer?: Is this what Americans see as elevating America's standing in the world view?
Is it accidental that a large number of Americans who are currently engaged in early voting are oblivious to this information?
America deserves better than this, does it not?

From 2006-2013, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) supported a national demonstration, known as the Early Detection and Intervention for the Prevention of Psychosis Program (EDIPPP). The demonstration is designed to identify, intervene early, and treat young people between the ages of 12-25 at risk for a psychotic episode. Schizophrenia Bulletin has published the EDIPPP findings in a peer-reviewed study entitled, "Clinical and Functional Outcomes after 2 Years in the Early Detection and Intervention for the Prevention of Psychosis Multisite Effectiveness Trial."
The results of the study show evidenced-based services can prevent at-risk young people from converting to full-blown psychosis – reducing hospitalizations and enabling them to continue working and attending school.

10/10, Best Sims yet! IGN
10/10, Sims was never better! Gamestop
I want to be a game reviewer now,
I mean...every time EA releases a new game, it's like Christmas.
Krabby, Poliwhirl and Floatzel
You know after they pretty much have given fans of the original Plants vs. Zombies the big middle finger on the platform the game originally launched on (PC), I shouldn't be surprised by anything EA does. I looked it up and after promising a bunch of platforms PvZ2 is still confined to iOS and Android with no plans for PC and likewise I'm sure no plans for an all in one purchase. You know they could have charged $40 and I'd have bought one for myself and my sister. Now they don't get a single cent from me for PvZ2. I could rig up an Android device with HDMI so my sister (a huge fan) could play on TV, but I'm so disgusted at this point I'm not going to bother unless she outright asks me. I don't know how they can simultaneously implement scummy microtransaction policies (really different e-currencies for Sims 3 and Sims 4????) and at the same time demonstrate a depressing trend for just outright ruining everything touched by the brand.
I was wrong, EA surprised me again. I shudder to think what will befall the other companies the publisher bought. It's just depressing. It's like what Microsoft did (or probably more accurately did not do) with Rare, but even worse somehow (quite a feat). I'm not even that huge of a Sims fan but my sister is. She's happy with the Sims 3, and in the ultimate of hilarious ironies EA gave away the full Sims 2 last month... so if she gets the itch for another Sims game there's that to try out... and it has far more features than Sims 4 has!
What's next on the agenda, Mass Effect with five $20 "episodes" in addition to more party members for the low, low, price of $7.99 each?
See that's the scary thing about EA. It still does publish some amazing games, but I have to wonder just how/when they will finally kill the developer that makes them. I was introduced to the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger series by my nephew, and the developer is owned by EA, and I think the games are fantastic from what I've played so far. It's not like everything EA does is bad... but I look up the developer and the last I heard was... a 2D Windows 8 exclusive game in that series. Maybe it's good, I don't know, but it just is so depressing. I think that's the only thing I've ever seen so far that I'd be remotely interested in from the Windows 8 store too... and I have Windows 8. I'm usually the white knight in topics like these, but with EA? Man that would be hard. All I can do is say "there are still a ton of great EA games that come out, they didn't ruin everything yet..."

PathlessBullet posted...No rabbit holes at all - Sims move offscreen for work and school. There are no hospitals, work/school buildings etc.
As said, you don't. What that bit is about is complaining that the game's potential performance and features are hobbled by being compatible with old 32 bit processors, which haven't been produced since 2008.

LIHEAP's Early Enrollment Begins September 4th for Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities.
NAPERVILLE, Ill. -- Today Nicor Gas announced that it is encouraging senior citizens and persons with disabilities to take advantage of the early enrollment period for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). During the special enrollment period of September 4th through October 31st, senior citizens (60 years plus) and persons with disabilities can apply for LIHEAP before general enrollment opens to the public on November 1.
LIHEAP is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the State of Illinois. The program is administered by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services and assists eligible low-income households pay their energy bills. Assistance is presented to qualifying applicants in one annual payment. Income, household size, fuel type, and geographic location determine the amount of assistance. To qualify, household monthly income cannot exceed 150 percent of the federally established poverty level. For more information or to apply for assistance, call 1-877-411-9276 (WARM) or visit www.nicorgas.com and click on "financial assistance."
"Nicor Gas is pleased to help promote the use of such a needed program. It is far too often that the individuals who need the assistance are not aware of the help they can obtain through LIHEAP. This early enrollment period benefits eligible senior citizens and persons with disabilities by allowing them the first opportunity to apply for financial assistance before it opens to the general public," said Kevin Kirby, Vice President of Customer Care for Nicor Gas.
Nicor Gas customers who do not qualify for federal assistance can apply for the company's Sharing Program, which provides eligible households with financial assistance in one time annual grants of up to $450. To qualify, household monthly income may not exceed 200 percent of the federally established poverty level. Nicor Gas Sharing grants are administered by the Salvation Army and applicants must apply in-person at one of their offices. For a list of Salvation Army offices and this year's grant amount, visit the Nicor Gas website at www.nicorgas.com and click on "financial assistance."
Nicor Gas offers financial assistance information and natural gas cost information at www.nicorgas.com. Both of these topics will be discussed in customer newsletters, special bill inserts, and an awareness campaign that will take place October through February. Customers are encouraged to read their bills and customer newsletters each month to stay informed about bill payment options, assistance programs, and the national situation on gas costs.
Nicor Gas is one of the nation's largest gas distribution companies. Owned by Nicor Inc. (NYSE: GAS) a holding company, Nicor Gas has provided safe and reliable natural gas services for over 50 years. The Company serves two million customers in a service territory that encompasses most of the northern third of Illinois, excluding the city of Chicago.

Originally written on The Flagrant Fan | Last updated 11/15/14
Luis Gonzalez has been persona non grata as a spoken name here in the Tasker household. There was that certain bloop hit in 2001 that ruined everything and ended a dynasty. He is used by some to refute the greatness of the great relief pitcher he hit that bloop against (as if). But that was a long time ago. It wasn't Gonzalez's fault that Torre brought the infield in. The fact is that Gonzalez has been gone from the game for five years now. From this seat, his retirement went unnoticed and his career has had little reflection given. The guy was a better player than people remember. May it dare be said that his career was perhaps a hair or a cut below Hall of Fame caliber? The trouble with Luis Gonzalez has been the whispers. He played in the era of steroid use. His 57 homers in 2001 are treated with smirks and proof of his guilt. Plus, he is Hispanic, so that paints him guilty by association. But Gonzalez has vehemently denied ever using and to this observer's knowledge, has neve...

Welcome to the NEWLY designed Shiocton Rifle Range. There are several changes that happened this past summer (2014) due to the walking trail that is being placed to the south of the rifle range. If you plan on visiting the range please be sure to check the website shiocton.org, parks department. You can also follow us on Shiocton Rifle Range Facebook page and like us to keep updated.
The Village of Shiocton has one of the few open to the public shooting ranges in the state. The range is fully within the Village limits and supported by your $5.00 donation. It is open from 7:00 a.m. to the ''official'' Shiocton sunset. The range consists of a 50 and 100, a 200/300/500 yard range (you can drive down with your trucks or cars), and handgun range (18 yards.) Shooting tables and stationary target stands are at each range. Paper targets and clothes pins are to be placed on the target stands by the shooters. No targets are to be placed between the tables and targets stands provided.
Occasionally the range will be reserved for special events and closed to the public. It will also be closed for maintenance and mowing though we try not to have all ranges to be closed at the same time.
Any closures will be posted here and on Facebook.
This weeks closures:
Wednesday, May 27th, Handgun closed from 8am - 4pm.
100 yard range will be closed on Thursday 05/28/2015 from Noon-5pm
We have tried to make the ranges as user friendly and safe as possible. It is up to the individual shooter to clean up their own mess and make sure things are ready for the next shooter. Doing this helps to ensure the range stays open to the public.
Donation boxes are set up at each range and donations are appreciated, $5 per shooter. All donations are put back into the range whether to buy material for targets, concrete pads, tables, flags, covered shelters, ect. OUR RANGE IS FUNDED SOLELY BY GRANTS AND YOUR DONATIONS!!!
There is also an archery range with multiple stations for different situations.
If you have any questions on the shooting ranges please call the Village of Shiocton at (920) 986-3415 Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
PLEASE be familiar with the new rules. No targets are to be placed between the tables and the green or orange target stands furnished by the Rifle Range. You will need to bring your own paper targets to place on the stands. The rules are posted on the website, in the wood box located near the donation box on the rifle range, and on the ranges in the parking lot labeled "Take One"
Make sure if you are shooting at the target that is assigned to the table you are using. Example, table 4 target #4. No shooting across range.
The biggest change is you will not be allowed to bring in homemade or commercial bought targets. This includes spinners, exploding targets, cans, bottles, boxes, and fruit. Paper targets will be placed on the target stands, furnished by the range. Also the paper cannot hang off of the target frames. It is best to bring a clothespin or paperclip to hang the targets. Make sure you are removing your targets and picking up your spent rounds.
Shooting times will end at the ''Official'' Shiocton sunset time. A schedule can be found by searching Shiocton sunset set time on the internet. This will also be posted on a display board near the donation boxes.
No shotguns, AR 15's, or .223's on the handgun range.
While on the 200/300/500 yard range you must be shooting at the stationary targets provided. No placing targets on the ground or anywhere in between the steal target or Range targets that are furnished. Anything other will cause ricochets!!! No moving our targets.
Do not shoot across the road on the 200/300/500 yard range. When doing so you will be shooting directly at the walking trail or hunters in the woods.
Trucks and cars are permitted to drive down the new road. ATV's are not recommended. Please use the flag as directed. The flag is to be raised when you enter the range and the last person leaving the range will lower the flag. The flag should not be raised and lowered as you are checking your targets.
NO ELECTRONICS ALLOWED TO BE SHOT AT THE RANGE!!! No glass, plastic, aluminum cans, fruit, etc. No clay targets, spinners, gongs, & exploding targets these are NOT allowed!!!
We are looking for donations to purchase shooting benches click here if interested
Be safe and enjoy.

Totally Tempted® Cuphea llavea
- Exposure
- Sun
- Season
- Spring
- Summer
- Mature Size
- 10 - 12 Inches
A compact form of this cuphea, heat and drought tolerant; low maintenance
Plant Needs
Use in hanging baskets, beds, borders, and combinations.
Deadheading not necessary for continuous bloom but can be used to tidy plants.
Totally Tempted is a sun lover and actually performs better when not crowded in containers, but has a little room to breath. Though it is a fragile looking plant it is actually quite tough and don't be afraid to put it to the test and put Totally Tempted out in the hot sun, water regularly to get the plant established, then let the watering taper off so they plants can really shine!
An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
Sun, Sun, Sun, 'til Her Daddy Takes the Sunscreen Away. You're the Sun that I Want. Sun Guys Have All the Luck. Is there anything on earth better than the sun? Not in my opinion. But then, I am a Cuphea - a plant genus noted for its sun-loving nature. More to the point, I'm a Totally Tempted Cuphea. My blazingly brilliant red, purple-throated tubular flowers (which resemble baby bat faces) glow like Purplish Red Sails in the Sunset against my deep green leaves. They look even more vivid - you guessed it - in sunlight. Birds, including hummingbirds, are among my greatest admirers.
Sun Enchanted Evening, or morning or afternoon, plant me in any kind of container or flower bed and Let the Full Sunshine In. I'm easy to grow, bloom from spring to the first hard frost, don't need deadheading. You could say I'm a 10-12-inch mounded Hunka Hunka Sunburnin' Love.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen have been pronounced husband and wife — again.
The couple exchanged vows for a second time in a sunset ceremony at Gisele's home in Costa Rica on Saturday evening, People reported.
A source told the mag the supermodel "looked so gorgeous" in a designer dress complete with a 10-foot-veil.
The couple were reportedly joined by about 25 guests for the ceremony, held on Gisele's balcony at her Santa Teresa house. Among the guests? Tom's son, John, who has been seen out and about with the couple during their trip, as well as Robert Kraft, owner of quarterback Tom's New England Patriots.
The wedding was prefaced by a men's brunch at the Milarepa hotel, where Tom and his guests ate from a menu made specifically for the event; meanwhile, female guests joined Gisele at her home to prepare for ceremony.
Tom and Gisele's official wedding was reportedly held in Santa Monica, Calif., on February 28.

Pentagon to delay furlough notices for two weeks
After passage of the 2013 funding bill earlier today, the Pentagon is reassessing its need for civilian furloughs. The Defense Department said it will delay issuance of furlough notices to its 780,000 civilian workers for two weeks. DoD had originally planned to begin sending out furlough notices today.

DoD in denial about budget future, experts say
Defense budget watchers say despite abundant evidence to the contrary, the Pentagon appears to believe it will eventually get most of its funding wishes over the coming few years. "Whether [sequestration] stays in place for nine more years is an open question, but it's certainly going to be in place for the foreseeable future," said Mackenzie Eaglen, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Palms casino in Vegas faces $1M fine in drug sting
Friday - 1/11/2013, 10:58pm EST
By HANNAH DREIER
Associated Press
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The company that owns the Palms Casino Resort said Friday it will pay $1 million in fines after employees of casino nightclubs accepted payments to supply prostitutes, cocaine and pain pills in a series of stings last year.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board detailed the shady dealings in a complaint filed Friday, and the owner of the Palms, FP Holdings LP, said it would to pay the penalty for failing to prevent the illegal transactions.
Among other offenses, the complaint said employees of NM Ventures LLC and NM Ventures II LLC, which operates the nightclubs, offered to sell undercover agents ecstasy, the prescription painkiller oxycodone, and $18,000 worth of cocaine last March.
In one sting, a bottle runner at Rain nightclub agreed to track down prostitutes for a patron. After failing to find the women, the runner reached into a front pocket and produced $100 of cocaine for the undercover agent.
A Moon nightclub host responded to an undercover agent who asked for "party favors" by offering up "$100 of blow."
The commission worked with Metro Police on the stings. Police held off on making arrests during the operation, but some are now imminent, according to Lt. Dave Logue of the department's criminal intelligence section.
Authorities said they targeted the Palms because they suspected its nightclubs. The last comparable operation took place at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino three years ago, Logue said.
Casino bosses were "concerned and disappointed" to learn of the activities apparently rampant at their nightclubs, Palms spokesman Alex Acuna said in a statement.
"We are resolved to address these problems comprehensively and decisively," he said.
At the time of the sting, the subsidiaries that ran the nightclubs were only partially owned by the Palms. "They're now fully owned (subsidiaries) so we have a lot more oversight and visibility into the organization," Acuna told The Associated Press.
He said the Palms is also implementing mandatory drug testing, setting up a whistle-blower system and making changes in its security department to discourage employees from straying outside the law to meet customers' requests.
The casino just west of the Las Vegas Strip is also installing "amnesty boxes" at club entrances, where patrons can dump drugs before entering the casino without fear of legal repercussions.
The $1 million fine must be approved by the Nevada Gaming Commission. The Palms has also agreed to pay $78,000 for investigation expenses.
Associated Press writer Joseph Altman in Phoenix contributed to this report.

A group of tech industry heavy hitters says there are fundamental flaws in a GSA/Pentagon report on how to establish contractor cybersecurity baselines to protect government IT acquisitions.
In comments to the GSA, the Information Technology Industry Council and its Information Technology Alliance for Public Sector (ITAPS) division said while they supported the agency's effort to strengthen cybersecurity measures in federal technology goods and services procurement, they had problems with some of the plan's basics.
According to an April 30 blog post by ITAPS Senior Director, Homeland Security, Pamela Walker, the ITI and ITAPS told GSA that the agency's draft plan takes a product- and service-centric approach based on Product Service Codes (PSCs). PSCs are used in the Federal Procurement Data System to report government procurement transactions. The group called the approach "inadequate" because it did not include a judgment on the importance of the mission, or how and where a product would be used in a given project.
Using the codes, according to ITAPS, means the government would address cyber risk in federal acquisition based on perceived risks inherent to the product or service, ignoring how a given product would be used.
"This approach also fails to assess risks inherent in processes and practices that may be used by the government for acquisition, such as using the lowest-priced item if technical specifications are met," said Walker's post. "In short, the proposed approach does not support effective risk mitigation practices, and in fact, may actually increase the government's cyber risks."
ITI's members include Dell, eBay, IBM, Intel, Microsoft and Oracle SAP.
GSA is looking for public input and stakeholder engagement on how to incorporate the protections as part of the White House's cybersecurity order.
The PSC-based approach assigns risks based on product groupings, incorrectly assuming risk is generated only in the product or service to be acquired, said the group. ITAPS listed a number of reasons why product/ service-centric approach wouldn't ease cyber risks to federal acquisition. For instance, it said the sheer number of products the government can use is vast, and product categories and diversity constantly change.
"Finally, a product and service-centric approach also would unfortunately send the wrong signal to other governments that the U.S. government believes cybersecurity, first and foremost, is based on products and services," Walker wrote.
The group recommended the government create a risk-based mission-focused process, where risk assessments occur at the front end of procurements.
