Top Five Mobile Banking Security Tips From Tech CU
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/27/14 -- A record number of consumers today are banking on their mobile devices for everything from balance inquiries to mobile deposits. According to research group AlixPartners, mobile banking is now used by 28 percent of banking Americans, with 60 percent of smartphone/tablet users saying mobile banking capabilities are "important" or "extremely important" in their decision to switch banks. With this convenience, however, comes the potential for fraud and security breaches.
This summer, the first major mobile security threats hit the U.S. -- malware called Svpeng and HijackRAT -- signaling financial institutions to step up security. Technology, however, is less of a risk factor in mobile security than consumer behavior, according Kevin Alsup, vice president of information and administration at San Francisco Bay Area credit union Tech CU.
"We use multiple forms of identity authentication, log-in procedures and encrypted communications, and perform extensive native app and WAP security testing to prevent criminals from accessing confidential information," he explained. "The bigger threat is someone who is unmindful while online, but a few simple steps can help prevent fraudulent activity, especially for things like hacking and phishing." Here are five things Tech CU recommends everyone do to protect against fraud while banking on their mobile device: 1. Protect Your Device Password protect your mobile device with a strong PIN that's not easily associated with you, lock your device when not in use, and always keep it in a safe location. Do not hack or modify your device. This may leave it susceptible to infection from a virus. Whenever possible, install mobile security software on your device. Only use software from reputable providers, such as McAfee Mobile Security.If you change your mobile number or lose your phone, immediately contact your financial institution to change your mobile banking profile. Perform regular, automatic backups of your mobile device data, which allows for quicker data recovery when needed.2. Verify Apps and Keep Systems Up-to-Date Only download mobile apps from trusted sources. Before downloading any mobile banking app, verify that it's from your financial institution. Ensure all apps and your operating system are up-to-date and know what security features, operating system components, or access controls you are granting. If you think you've downloaded a fraudulent mobile app, contact your financial institution immediately. 3. Be Smart About What Information You Share and Where You Share It Protect your information on public, unsecured WiFi networks. Best practice: don't conduct transactions where you need to reveal personal or private information on an open network. Never disclose personal information about your accounts via a text message (i.e. account numbers or passwords) or any information that can be used to steal your identity, such as your social security or driver's license number. Frequently delete text messages from your financial institution.4. Monitor Frequently Monitor your accounts regularly, and turn on alerts to stay abreast of any suspicious activity.Watch for notifications from your financial institution about the dangers of malware, scams or questionable free apps.5. Report Immediately If you see fraudulent activity on your account, contact your financial institution immediately. Review and consider placing a fraud alert on your credit reports. Close or change any accounts that you know, or believe, have been tampered with or opened fraudulently.File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

|2009 Arkansas State at Nebraska Point Spread Odds & Matchup Report

A. State-Nebraska Odds
The No. 22 Cornhuskers try to open with consecutive wins for the fifth straight year Saturday when they face
Oddsmakers from online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com have made
That wasn't the side of the ball in which
"Overall, man to man, I thought we played soft at times," Pelini said. "We've got to get that fixed."
Pelini said
"The want-to is there," he said, "but the how-to wasn't taken care of."
Nose tackle Ndamukong Suh was left to defend his unit after his coach's harsh words.
"I definitely take it personally, but I know exactly what he means, so I don't take it too hard," Suh said. "We weren't as physical as he hoped. Basically, we want to start a new line of scrimmage. There is the main line of scrimmage where the ball is set, but we want to move their linemen into the backfield and start a new line of scrimmage. I don't think we did."
"I think it was real obvious defensively that we controlled the game with our front seven,"
Senior tailback Reggie Arnold rushed for 126 yards and four touchdowns, and quarterback Corey Leonard became the
The strong performance has certainly gotten
"They're a pretty talented football team, very well coached," Pelini said. "They are very sound on what they do on both sides of the football. It's well thought out and they have good athletes. It's a challenge."
The Cornhuskers also got an impressive debut last weekend from Zac Lee, who passed for 213 yards and two touchdowns. Lee took his most meaningful snaps since 2006 in junior college.
"There was a little bit of anxiety, but that faded pretty quickly," Lee said. "Once you throw a couple passes, it's back to playing football."
The Red Wolves will be looking to replace two key seniors in offensive lineman Dominic Padrta and free safety Evan Van Dolah, who were each lost to season-ending injuries in the opener.

Associated Press
Calgary at Colorado (9 p.m. EDT). Avalanche center Joe Sakic is one hat trick shy of tying Peter Stastny's franchise record of 16.
-Ales Kotalik, Sabres, scored an unassisted power-play goal with 4 seconds left in overtime and Buffalo rallied for a 5-4 win over Toronto.
-Samuel Pahlsson, Ducks, scored a tiebreaking short-handed goal with 10:58 left in the third period to lead Anaheim to a 6-3 victory over Detroit.
Jesse Boulerice, who last week was given the longest single-season suspension in NHL history for hitting a player in the face with his stick, was placed on waivers by Philadelphia on Monday. The 29-year-old Boulerice was suspended 25 games by the league for cross-checking Vancouver's Ryan Kesler in the face on Wednesday. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said the decision was based on the team's need for more roster space while dealing with injuries.
Toronto blew a two-goal lead for the second straight game on Monday night, allowing four third-period goals and another in overtime for a 5-4 loss at Buffalo. The Maple Leafs were up by two Saturday before Pittsburgh stormed back for a 6-4 win.
Joe Pavelski, Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo scored in a 3:20 span early in the third period to break open a tie game and lift San Jose to a 4-2 victory at Vancouver on Monday night.
Kent Huskins notched his first NHL goal on Monday night, the opening tally in Anaheim's 6-3 win over Detroit on Monday night.
Anaheim right winger Todd Bertuzzi was placed on the injured list Monday because of a concussion sustained a night earlier against Minnesota. He is expected to be out at least a week.
Pittsburgh defenseman Brooks Orpik sustained a concussion while being leveled during Saturday's game in Toronto but is expected to play Wednesday against New Jersey.
The NHL Players' Association officially nominated former assistant U.S. attorney Paul Kelly on Monday for its executive director position. The five-player search committee interviewed a long list of candidates before narrowing it to three. NFL Players Association lawyer Richard Berthelsen, and Bill Gregson, president and CEO of sports store chain Forzani Group, were the other finalists with Kelly.
``It doesn't feel too good right now. We don't have a lot of confidence in our defensive game right now, and it showed. We sat back, and that's the kiss of death especially against a team that can wind up like that.'' - Toronto coach Paul Maurice after the Maple Leafs allowed four third-period goals and another in overtime for a 5-4 loss at Buffalo on Monday night. It was the second straight game that Toronto blew a two-goal lead.

Ducks' Bertuzzi out at least a week because of concussion
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Anaheim Ducks right winger Todd Bertuzzi was placed on the injured list Monday because of a concussion sustained a night earlier against Minnesota.
He is expected to be out at least a week, the team said.
Bertuzzi signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Ducks during the offseason, leaving the Detroit Red Wings.
He is coming off an injury-plagued season, having played in only 15 games last season with Florida and Detroit because of a back injury.
Bertuzzi was suspended in March 2004 for sucker-punching Steve Moore of the Colorado Avalanche during a game. He missed the rest of that season and the playoffs. He was reinstated after the lockout that wiped out the 2004-05 season.

Tuesday's key NHL matchup notes
Atlanta Thrashers at Philadelphia Flyers
Marian Hossa missed his third straight game with a groin injury Saturday, but hopes to return against the Flyers. He had 43 goals and a career-high 100 points for Atlanta last season.The Thrashers, the league's only winless team, will try to put an end that distinction when they take on the Flyers at the Wachovia Center.
Florida Panthers at Montreal Canadiens
Olli Jokinen and the Panthers look to even their record with their third straight win tonight when they visit the Montreal Canadiens.
Calgary Flames at Colorado Avalanche
The Avalanche are 3-0-0 at the Pepsi Center, but the Flames come to Denver after winning back-to-back games over the weekend including a 7-4 win at home vs. Nashville.
Minnesota Wild at Los Angeles Kings
The Minnesota Wild look to match the best start in franchise history and continue their recent dominance of the Kings when the teams meet at Staples Center tonight.
Re: Hockey Today - October 16
Senators ink C Robitaille
October 16th, 2007
Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators signed center Randy Robitaille to a one-year contract Tuesday.
Robitaille was recently released from the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv in Russia and must clear waivers before playing for the Senators.
In 14 games with the Lokomotiv this season, Robitaille had three goals and six assists.
In 10 NHL seasons, the 32-year-old Ottawa native has collected 227 points (74 goals, 153 assists) in 463 career with the Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, Los Angeles Kings, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Islanders, Minnesota Wild, Atlanta Thrashers and Philadelphia Flyers.
Re: Hockey Today - October 16
Kings activate Aubin
October 16th, 2007
Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - The Los Angeles Kings activated goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin from the injured reserve list Monday.
Aubin has been out the entire season with a groin injury. The Kings are just 1-5 so far this season, allowing 26 goals during their current five-game losing streak.
The 30-year-old netminder signed with the club in the offseason. In 199 career NHL games, he has a 75-77-11-4 record, seven shutouts and a 2.91 goals- against-average for Toronto and Pittsburgh.
In addition, the Kings assigned forward Brady Murray to Manchester of the American Hockey League and returned goaltender Jonathan Bernier to Lewiston of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
"We feel the decision to return Jonathan to the Quebec League is the best means to ensure that Jonathan reaches his potential," Kings president and general manager Dean Lombardi said of Bernier. "This young man is 19 years old and if he continues to mature properly he has a bright future ahead of him."
The 19-year-old Bernier played in four games this season and went 1-3-0 with a 4.03 goals-against-average.
Murray, 23, also played in four games for the Kings, scoring one goal and recording six penalty minutes.

text: Joss Stone has been obsessed with soul music since she was a little girl. By the time she was in her early teens she had begun to intuitively hone her now trademark gravely-but-lustrous vocals by singing along to Aretha's Franklin's Greatest Hits. She began pursuing a singing career at thirteen, securing a record deal at 15, and recording her star-making debut album," The Soul Sessions", which was released in 2003. Ten years on from those stunning sessions, Joss has decided to bring things full circle and revisit where it all began - with her follow up to that multi million-selling debut, "The Soul Sessions Vol 2," a stunning exercise in vocal poise, passion and power, showcasing some great songs and an artist at the peak of her vocal powers.

Nancy Dillion, a long-time active member of the London community, passed away Friday, May 2, following a lengthy illness.
Dillion graduated from London High School in 1956 and became a realtor in 1977.
She worked for Pryor Realty and F.A.R.M.S. Realty in London before establishing her own business, Dillion Realty, on South Main Street.
She was named Madison County Realtor of the Year in 1997 and 2002, and was also a member of the Ohio Association of Realtors President's Sales Club and the Columbus Board of Realtors Million Dollar Club.
"She worked and invested in the city, trying to move it forward," said her brother, Mayor David Eades. "She was community-minded and whatever she believed in, she had a strong will about it."
She was a member of London's First United Methodist Church and the London Country Club Bridge Club. She was also involved in community plays and downtown revitalization efforts. A breast cancer survivor for many years, she was a strong advocate for women's health and supporter of Madison County Hospital.
Dillion lent her face and name to the hospital's first breast cancer campaign, which demonstrated "you can survive and fight against breast cancer," said Kelly Snyder, hospital spokesperson.
"We've been fortunate and the community has been generous in helping us raise money for our endowment fund, and I think a lot of it is because she was so gracious to put her name and face on it," Snyder said. "We're very fortunate she was a great supporter of us at Madison County Hospital Foundation, both personally and her business. She's definitely going to be missed."
Visiting hours are 4-8 p.m. on Thursday, May 8, at the First United Methodist Church, 52 N. Main St., London. A celebration of Dillon's life is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Friday, May 9, at the church.
Dillion was preceded in death by her husband, Elwood Russell (Woody) Dillion.
In lieu of flowers, donations will be accepted by the Battelle Breast Care Center at Madison County Hospital.
Dillion's full obituary is published on page 3 of today's The Madison Press.

We harvested garlic. Yummy. Cherry tomato's are gathered by the bowl-full. I used this yummy recipe. So, so good! I can't wait to watch True Blood tonight. What did you have for dinner??
Happy New Year's~
If it's New Year's day you will find this on my plate. Every year without fail. It's just what you do. Black eye pea's, cornbread, greens and cabbage. Yum.
~Goodness where does the time go??~
How can the weekend be over again? It feels like the days are simply whizzing by. Like lightning really.
I am loving my library right now. LOVE! Look at my new cookbooks I checked out last week!!
I have been really working hard on decreasing our packaged foods. We are down by a great deal. I am speaking of packaged prepared foods like: mac and cheese, frozen pizza's, crackers, kid food, snack food, etc. I am on the search for new and better recipes daily.
For example:
Pretzels. Yum! Recipe from here at Maya Made. They have been a big hit. My one weakness is pretzels. It's like crack and I can't get off of them.
I've been making Rosemary Crackers . Each time I make them they get better and better. The secret is to roll the dough just as thin as you can. Paper thin. These taste kind of like Cheese It"s to me, but much, much better. It's kind of like love really.
What I have really been wanting to try is pasta. I tried a recipe a few months ago, and it turned out so bad. I mean like clumps of clay bad. Ugh. I was determined to try again. I used the recipe from the Alice Water's cookbook. The Art of Simple Food. Oh my, oh my, oh my gosh. I kind of felt like I died and went to heaven. I have no words to describe how good this pasta was. My dad would have been so proud. He always made fresh pasta and I remember he used a pasta machine. I used me, myself, and I to roll the dough out. It worked just fine. Here are a few of the steps..
It is hard to believe egg and flour make pasta, with just a little splash of water. That's it.
I can't believe I am showing a picture of my kitchen.. oh me.
Just waiting to be cooked. Alice said that hand cut noodles are rustic and charming. Ok, Alice, I agree.
A finished dish, sorry, so blurry!
Oh my, yum!! Noodles with a splash of olive oil, butter, zucchini, mushrooms, lemon juice, and lemon basil (from my garden, yay!)
My toughest critic and she really liked it!
I think I will buy this book. It is a winner!!
It seems all I do is spend my day in the kitchen. That is the one thing about changing the way you eat. Whole foods do take more time to prepare. It is well worth it not only for me, but for my daughter as well. She is beginning to experience joy in our kitchen, and the joy of creating. She makes a little something to go with our evening meal. This is joyful time we spend together laughing and being silly.
This is an added benefit I was not completely expecting, however, she imitates what I do and her creativity is fueled. I have really enjoyed our time together. Especially on the weekends. Her father is working and her big sister is as well. It is just us girls usually.
I really want to read this book , I hope I can find it at my library. I want to read this one too. I love Cookus Interuptus their videos are hilarious..!
Ok, so if you've made it this far– I hope you had a wonderful weekend!!
~Oh Mujadara and a little pondering~
This post really spoke to me… I was so over winter, just done with it. Yes, we had some sun and we have a few little bulbs popping up, but the majority of the landscape is dead brown & yuck. I know a few good rains will change all of that, but February is a killer for me. It is just a hard month and it drains me. everything changes in March, the sun is warm and bright. Everything has buds and there is so much promise in these early March days.
So, I decided to make mujadara. I actually found the idea from here, at Kyrie's blog, I just love her blog. It simply inspires me.
The mujadara is so simple, but the taste is so fabulous. It is all in the onions. This dish is a start in the morning and let it sit all day because it just gets better with a little time behind it.
I have made this fantastic flatbread several times already, and it is a wonderful thing to serve with beans. My husband says this flatbread reminds him of living in Iran (he lived there for a short time with his mom and step-dad in the 70's). It is really good. Please spend time reading Sara's blog, wow, it is so fantastic. You will love it and be really inspired. I know I am ready to go live on a farm!! Well, in my mind anyway!!
~these little cuties have nothing to do with anything, but I am eating these by the handful each and everyday, so fresh!
I don't have pictures of the flatbread, but trust me when I say you should make it. It is fast and easy and a perfect side to this yummy dish!
The way it is going now, we will have a day or two of nice dry sunny days, temps as high as 70ish, wonderful. So, on these days we are outside. Playing on the front porch with sidewalk chalk and drawing and coloring in her art journal while I pull a few weeds and try to cut down some of the shrubbery. Gah- it is a jungle out there. Then we spend a few days with cold rain and gray dreary skies. I know this will pass soon enough, but spring can play havoc sometimes.
I am so grateful for the wonderfullness of blogs and women all around the world, sharing and inspiring so many. I have always thought computers bring the world to you, and it is really true. If you want to learn it, you can, if you want to see it, you can all because of this wonderful thing called the internet. As a young girl I could have never imagined such a thing. Here we are now with so many possibilities. It never ceases to amaze me.
May you find something warm to eat, a bit of sun to shine on your face and something that brings you just a little bit of wonder. Happy weekend!!
~The power of soup and a loaf of homemade bread~
This is the best brocoli soup. Ever.
If you feel a little under the weather then you must have soup.
The winter funk won't leave our house. No matter how many times I sanitize and clean. The little people go out and bring back the funk. I am so over it.
I found this soup recipe . I had to make it. I put a little sour cream and a little garlic chili sauce on it and it was YUM! After I had eaten a bowl I realized that I had forgotten one of the main ingredients–th arugula! Oh dear, but it was an easy fix, I re-blended a small batch with the arugula and it was just fine. The arugula really makes the soup.
I doubled the recipe. You can't really have soup without bread. I have made several different types of bread. I've done the no knead bread, it is really good but you must have a plan with the amount of time it takes to get the end bread. I have made several loaves of wheat bread. It is good, but sometimes you just need a new recipe.
So, I came across this yummy recipe and I knew I had to give it a go. I did not have any whole wheat pastry flour, so I used my 50/50 flour by Hodgson Mill and it seemed to work just fine.
I LOVE this bread! Really I do love it. It is really hearty, but not all whole wheaty, which makes for nice for a change. It is substantial and goes good with soup, or strawberry jam!
Love it! It is really easy to make. You must try it!
~It was a really hard week~
Late February days; and now, at last,
Might you have thought that Winter's woe was past;
So fair the sky was and so soft the air.
The Earthly Paradise by William Morris (1834 – 1896)
This week has been really tough. I like to keep things light and happy here.
Blame it on the weather, blame it on my upcoming birthday, thinking about the past… I don't really know.
Sometimes we just get stuck I guess.
To try to find an end to my problems.. I went outside. I went looking for Spring. I think it is the only thing that will make my heart feel lighter.
~look what I found! Some pretty yellow crocus.. that is cheerful right?
~I found a pretty purple Lenten Rose. I love these, they are really pretty and they get better and better each year.
~Lastly I found some buds, I love buds! These are Quince buds, they are really late this year, usually this blooms in January. This winter has been a little strange, but what is normal really? Everything is always changing. So, we deal with what we are given right?
After I looked for spring, I felt a little better, but not really. I made one of my favorites for dinner, Pizza!! I have made this so many times, but it never stops making me happy. This one came our really good!
It helped a little.
I guess no one every said life was easy, right??
I ended the day with a meditative knit.
Time makes everything better so, I will wait.
~Back from the land of the dead and hungry~
I told you I was sick, but I had no idea how low I would go. Chills, shakes, then hot flashes, my throat felt like I was swallowing glass. My head was full of concrete. I won't lie, it got a little rough.
On Tuesday, I did nothing, NOTHING at all, I went from my chair to my bed, to the tub, to a hot shower if I could stand up longer then 5 minutes. I haven't had that kind of sick in a while.
Thankfully I woke up a lot better Wednesday, and by dinner time, I felt like I needed to replenish. I was craving tomatoes, strawberries, and basil & greens. I felt like this is what my body needed.
~it started with these strawberries rinsed, sliced, and placed in a bowl with a smidge of sugar to macerate the berries.
~and these little grape tomatoes, rinsed.
~collards, I really wanted some greens… washed and cut into tiny bite sized pieces.
~chicken tenders cooked in cast iron skillet.
~chicken sliced and tossed with basil.
~cooked pasta, drained with a bit of the cooking liquid reserved in the pot, collard and tomatoes tossed in.
~ricotta cheese added, salt and pepper.
~chicken added. Yum! Restorative and fresh, I am ready for Spring.
Then it got really good….
yes, really good.
~told you!
It was so good and I feel better, much better. It pays to listen to your body and this made an even better breakfast. I am ready to get back to the things I need to do.

Movie Review: Revolver Rani
By TNN | posted Apr 24th 2014 at 7:10PM
What's hot:
Kangna is pure dynamite, firing on all barrels.
What's not:
Vir Das strikes at times but his character is not as fleshed out.
iDiva verdict:
'Revolver Rani' is loaded with a lot more than just gunpower. You'll enjoy biting this bullet.
Kangna is pure dynamite, firing on all barrels.
Cast: Kangna Ranuat, Vir Das, Piyush Mishra, Zakir Hussain Related Reads
Direction: Sai Kabir
Story: In a quirky twist of fate, Chambal's outlandish outlaw falls in love with a wannabe actor. Will she surrender her sensational sins for love?
Review: At the end of 'Revolver Rani' you come out shot by two bullets - one in the gut, the other in the heart. Such is the firepower of one crackerjack of a woman who preens like a desi diva (in metallic conical bras), cusses like a true-bred Chambal-ki-Rani, and fires more barood in the bistar than her toy-boy can handle.
Sai Kabir's skill lies in his satirical story-telling and style, not so much the plot. The crux is simple - power, politics and revenge. It's a combo of cool and crass - the kind of stuff pulp fiction is made of. Often textured in Quentin Tarantino style, he sets the mood with a notorious mix of quirkiness, violence and an eclectic background score. The second half is stretched, the songs interrupting the pace. Some dark, humorous moments (even the background score) are quite inspired by 'Kill Bill'.
Kangna is pure dynamite, firing on all barrels. With a tanned tone, kohl eyes and mercurial moods - she uses every weapon to fire a mind-blowing performance. Vir strikes at times but his character is not as fleshed out; Piyush (as Alka's *mama*) is superb and Zakir adds power to the plot.
'Revolver Rani' is loaded with a lot more than just gunpower. You'll enjoy biting this bullet.

US says only 30 Afghan civilians died in bombing
KABUL Video evidence recorded by fighter jets and the account of the ground commander suggest no more than 30 civilians were killed in a two-day battle in western Afghanistan this month, the U.S. military said Wednesday, a stark contrast with Afghan claims that 140 civilians died.
The footage shows insurgents streaming into homes that were later bombed, said Col. Greg Julian, the chief U.S. military spokesman in Afghanistan. He said ground troops observed some 300 villagers flee in advance of the fighting, indicating that not many could have been inside the bombed compounds.
The figures, which the Americans called preliminary, are far lower than the numbers villagers provided to an Afghan government commission days after the May 4-5 battle in the villages of Gerani and Ganjabad in Farah province.
The Afghan government has paid compensation to families who claimed relatives were killed; the U.S. contends the money could have acted as an incentive for families to inflate the numbers of victims. A list of 140 names provided by villagers includes at least 60 females and more than 90 people under age 18.
Julian said the exact number killed might never be known and U.S. investigators were still trying to determine what happened. U.S. investigators initially visited the area and said the number and size of the mass graves did not support the Afghan claims of 140 dead. No corpses were exhumed.
Investigators later reviewed hours of cockpit video from the fighter jets as well as audio recordings of the air crew's conversation with the ground commander. Julian said the military would release the footage and other evidence in the coming days.
U.S. officials initially suggested that Taliban grenades may have been responsible for at least some of the civilian deaths. But in later statements, the military placed the blame on Taliban militants who put civilians at risk by dashing into their homes.
President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly called for an end to airstrikes and raids in villages, warning that civilian deaths are causing Afghans to side with the Taliban as the Obama administration pours more troops into the country to battle the raging insurgency.
The United States warns that as long as insurgents fight from civilian areas, there are likely to be civilian deaths. On Tuesday, a NATO airstrike aimed at 25 insurgents killed eight Afghan civilians in the southern Helmand province, the alliance said in a statement.
The Taliban, however, carry out suicide bombings against civilian targets in some areas and use fear and intimidation to gain support.
According to the U.S. military, the battle in Farah province began a day after Taliban fighters entered the two villages, demanded money from civilians and killed three former government employees. An Afghan force rushed in, only to be ambushed by as many as 300 insurgents who killed two policemen.
The provincial governor asked for U.S. military help, and American ground troops joined the battle, the statement said.
Before the battle was over, three other Afghan policemen were killed and a U.S. Navy corpsman was wounded trying to rescue a wounded Afghan soldier trapped by Taliban fire.

PSEi retreats below 5,800
MANILA, Philippines—The local stocks index retreated below 5,800 on Thursday as investors pocketed gains from a five-day run-up.
After posting its 38th record high finish on Wednesday, the main-share Philippine Stock Exchange index pulled back by 37.94 points or 0.65 percent to close at 5,794.89 in thin pre-New Year trade.
Holding firms (-1.12 percent) posted the steepest decline while only the financial counter narrowly avoided ending in the red.
Value turnover was thin at P4.59 billion as many investors were on an extended post-Christmas and pre-New Year holiday break.
Apart from profit-taking pressures, risk appetite was also tempered by concerns that the strong peso was hurting the business process outsourcing industry, a key driver of the domestic economy.
There were 67 advancers which were outnumbered by 85 decliners while 46 stocks were unchanged.
Investors sold down shares of AC (-2.67 percent), DMCI (-2.34 percent), ALI (-2.28 percent), Semirara (-1.64 percent),FGEN (-1.35 percent), SMDC (-1.34 percent), URC (-1.34 percent), Metrobank (-0.78 percent) and PLDT (-0.70 percent).
Elsewhere in the region, stock markets were mostly higher despite jitters over the unresolved US "fiscal cliff" before the yearend deadline. The "fiscal cliff" refers to a series of mandated tax increases and spending cuts that could push back the US economy into a recession unless a new budget deal is made by yearend.

Hey, thanks Hdawg. This was a

. Glad you enjoyed it.

IIRC, I mentioned that I was surprised that Abraham Lincoln was not very highly regarded during his life; it was only after he was dead that people realized his worth. Sad to say, that seems to be pretty common...but thanks for any good thoughts sent my way (Ducati.ms people, take note!)
BTW, DCrider, for all the correspondence we had and
never got together...I'm gonna make a special attempt to cross the Mississippi River next year just to shake your hand. Er, unless I can convince you to cross the M. River the other way...

Christopher, what can I say? You folks got my trip off to the best possible start! And I
lust after your GSA. Since Lubbock is about a "day's travel" E of Albuquerque, any trip when I head East (like several times next summer
) I'll be callin' your number...seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed our meeting, and hope that I see you again more than once.

Thanks very much, zold. It was difficult
to be affected by those surroundings, lemme tell ya. And I didn't expect that
Some Final Observations...
1. Historical Content.
Several times in my RR I mentioned the fact that I felt the Catton & Foote trilogies were "too much" for me. Actually, it's more than that. I wanted a greater overview of the conditions that
to the Civil War, not just the actual battle strategies, tactics,
The book I've cited several times: "Battle Cry of Freedom" by James McPherson, is actually one volume in the Oxford "History of the United States," and as such has a wealth of information about the conditions pre-Civil War.
For example, do you know about (1) William Walker, (2) the "Know-Nothing" Party, (3) the "Blood Tubs" (a gang), or (4) Preston Brooks? If not, better read McPherson!
2. Use of iPad for Trip Updates...
Taking along the iPad + bluetooth keyboard on this trip was very much an "experiment." It was a little tedious (uploading pics
one at a time
) but there was one advantage: in addition to Wi-Fi connections, I had a Verizon cell data connection that I could use when there was no Wi-fi. Came in very handy more than once. And the Verizon connection was faster than some "mediocre" Wi-Fi connections.
3. Gonna Ride the Triumph Explorer 1200 Tomorrow!
After months of expectation, I'm gonna test-ride the Triumph Explorer 1200 tomorrow (I think). Two things I
about the TEX are (1) Cruise Control, and (2) Shaft Drive. One thing I
like about it is MORE WEIGHT (Duc is 520 wet on my scale; TEX is 50 lb more?) Also the "length" of the bike (I'll see what that's like when riding). The real test is turning it around in my garage...if I feel my ride test is noteworthy enough I'll post my opinions in this thread (if anybody's interested).
Anyway, I guess that's it. I very much appreciate all the interaction. The Dr. Greg family is off to Pagosa Springs, Colorado for a week of R&R (no bikes!) starting Saturday. Hopefully ADVRider.com will survive my absence...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Islamic State group's takeover of the provincial capital Ramadi is stark evidence that Iraqi forces lack the "will to fight," Defense Secretary Ash Carter said in a TV interview that aired Sunday. The harsh assessment raised new questions about the Obama administration's strategy to defeat the extremist group that has seized a strategically important swath of the Middle East.

NCAA Considers Tightening College Football Enforcement Focus
Dec. 6 (Bloomberg) -- The National Collegiate Athletic Association may create a group to focus on college football recruiting infractions, especially the funneling of money to elite players, the agency's enforcement chief said.
Such a group, which might take more than four months to put together, would resemble the one created two years ago to address concerns with men's basketball recruiting, according to Julie Roe Lach, the NCAA's vice president of enforcement.
Five days after the Indianapolis-based NCAA cleared Auburn University quarterback Cam Newton of wrongdoing in an alleged pay-for-play demand organized by his father, Lach said a close look was needed at how star players are recruited, while refusing to discuss specific cases.
"We need to do some groundwork, grassroots effort to just make sure we understand what's going on in the football recruiting environment," Lach said in an interview in New York.
Lach, 35, said money going to top players and the rise in seven-on-seven football tournaments funded by apparel companies and other sponsors, which could be a breeding ground for potential recruiting infractions, are areas of special interest.
"How widespread is it and is this becoming a situation where recruiting violations are going to be occurring?" Lash said. "That's an example of something we need to figure out."
The NCAA ruled on Dec. 1 that Newton was eligible to play in the Southeastern Conference championship game after he was found to have no knowledge of a situation involving his father and the owner of a scouting service in which they demanded money to determine where the quarterback would play.
Revised Rules
Lach said some recruiting regulations may need revision, declining to specifically comment on the Newton case or any other individual infraction.
"When you look at some of our agent rules and recruiting rules, they were written at a time that didn't contemplate all these third-party interests that are involved in the recruiting process," she said. "Do we need to look at a penalty structure that has liability on a student athlete, even if that student athlete is not the direct actor?"
She compared the issue to changes in NCAA rules that now hold head coaches responsible for creating an "atmosphere of compliance" throughout a program's staff, in essence holding coaches responsible for their associates' behavior.
Auburn beat the University of South Carolina 56-17 two days ago for the conference championship and will play the University of Oregon for the Bowl Championship Series national title on Jan. 10. Newton, a leading contender for the Heisman Trophy as college football's top player, passed for four touchdowns and ran for another two.
The six-member basketball focus group is part of an enforcement division that has a staff of 46, including 23 major-infraction investigators.
Basketball Database
The basketball group has created a database to show the relationships among specific people, programs and athletes, using sources ranging from coaches to social-media websites.
"We've seen some success not just in the generation of leads and potential cases, but a better understanding of what's going on in the men's basketball recruiting world," said Lach, who was named to the position in October after David Price announced that he would retire this month.
The plan for a similar football group would complement NCAA President Mark Emmert's Dec. 2 statement about Newton's eligibility.
"I'm committed to further clarifying and strengthening our recruiting and amateurism rules so they promote appropriate behavior by students, parents, coaches and third parties," Emmert said on the NCAA's website. "We will work aggressively with our members to amend our bylaws so that this type of behavior is not a part of intercollegiate athletics."

This is a Continuation of an allowed application Ser. No. 11/384,488, with the same inventor, assignee, title, and disclosure, filed Mar. 21, 2006 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,499,762.
The grid is possibly the most important asset and area of greatest investment for any utility company. As the main "artery" for carrying the energy commodity from principal generation sources, it connects a range of facilities such as substations, switchyards, and power plants to one another, and delivers power to public, private, and municipal end user load centers.
The future of the utility industry will be defined by how its leaders can transform the grid from a "passive" network of cables, wires, poles, and other hardware to a self-aware and fully controllable grid system—an Intelligent Grid System (IGS).
Challenges: A complicating factor is the imperative to design and build an Intelligent Grid System that will hold viable not just for today, but for several decades to come. As utility industry leaders make decisions about investing capital and resources in new technologies, it is essential to consider how today's standards and technologies will integrate with tomorrow's different and/or better ones. Will standard or design "A" go in the direction of design "B" or design "C"?
If today's design and system architecture choices are not aligned with emerging technologies, the bottom line as well as human resource management and future industry progress will be profoundly and negatively impacted. Likewise, sound judgments about building a system foundation that is flexible enough to maintain a constant alignment with the change in technology will be rewarded.
Utility leaders are faced with the complex challenge of selecting the right products, partners, and solutions for the task. They have rightfully concluded that investing large sums of capital or dealing with a well-known company will not necessarily guarantee the desired business results at the end of the project.
Others have done some work in this area:
Kahle (Compulog Corporation, U.S. Pat. No. 5,270,576) teaches an electrical connector network for coordinately controlling multiple electrical appliances connected to the network. The network includes a control outlet and at least one slave outlet.
Willette (The Whitaker Corporation, U.S. Pat. No. 5,599,190) teaches a communication wiring system which includes a communication network interface device for routing a plurality of source signals between respective plurality of types of electrical sources and a number of reconfigurable outlet assemblies.
Stewart et al. (Echelon Corp., U.S. Pat. No. 5,812,557) teaches a power line communication analyzer (PLCA) which provides a signal strength metering system and selectable signal attenuation functions for adjusting the transmitting unit's attenuation and measuring error rate without the need for the user to be present at both sending and receiving locations under test.
Abraham (Videocom, Inc., U.S. Pat. No. 6,014,386) teaches a communication network which includes an information signal line which carries a plurality of selectable information signals. An electric line distribution panel connects the information signal line and the electrical line for distributing the selectable information signals over the electrical line to the location of a given electrical outlet.
Lutz, Jr., et al. (Cisco Technology, Inc., U.S. Pat. No. 6,239,672) teaches a wall mount filter which includes a wall mount plate to which a connection port is coupled.
Curt et al. (Shenandoah Electronics Intelligence, Inc., U.S. Pat. No. 6,360,177) teaches a portable unit, preferably adapted for plugging into a common wall outlet, which has circuitry for monitoring the voltage and/or current provided through an electrical outlet.
Jones et al. (Teal Corporation Limited, U.S. Pat. No. 6,373,928) teaches a method of controlling the power supply to an electrical device through a telecommunication network.
Comer (Comcircuits, U.S. Pat. No. 6,417,762) teaches a system for transmitting and receiving high frequency electrical communication signals over a previously installed building power line network.
Clapp, Jr., et al. (Corning Cable System LLC, U.S. Pat. No. 6,457,874) teaches a mixed media outlet which can be mounted on the wall and includes ports for separate access to an electrical network and optical network.
Mowery, Jr. (U.S. Pat. No. 6,492,897) teaches a system for communicating information to and from untethered subscriber devices and tethered devices by the use of a power transmission line communication system interfacing to a conventional electric power distribution network.
Walbeck et al. (Easyplug Inc., U.S. Pat. No. 6,747,859) teaches a modular feed-through adapter that allows an electrical connection to a power line network adapter without using up an electrical outlet.
However, none of these inventions can attack the problem on a large scale, comprehensively, efficiently, and completely. The current invention offers a flexible architectural design for applying technology to transform today's grid into an Intelligent Grid for the 21st century. The document charts the direction and creates a roadmap to which utilities can fulfill their vision, while avoiding the risks and unnecessary expenses that may occur when implementing technological solutions. This invention is a blueprint for transforming today's passive grid into a self-aware and fully-controllable grid system.
We have all witnessed the evolution of computers from enormous devices that required whole rooms to house them to micro-processing hand-held units with more capacity than anyone could have imagined in the 70s or even 80s.
Now, a wide range of manufacturers build standard personal and mobile computers, and every year, better and more powerful computers are introduced to the market. They are more cost-effective and work better than their predecessors. Plus, they are highly compatible with each other, regardless of their vintage.
Competition has improved the power and quality of hardware and reduced the cost of ownership. Vendors and programmers can write a wide range of applications that run on standard computer hardware. Even though new software, security, and hardware standards are introduced to the field every year, existing computer hardware is capable of accommodating them whether they are mechanical, electro-mechanical, or microprocessor-based. (e.g., wireless modems can be easily added to laptops and PCs to create wireless LAN.) The key to this flexibility is an open platform that offers standard connectivity with the existing hardware.
Because of the evolution of computer and communication technologies, utilities have been able to improve and enhance service to their customers, simplify work processes, and reduce costs in the areas of system planning, operation, and maintenance of their core infrastructure.
Some electric utilities have already partially applied technologies for the following applications, processes, and concepts that attempt to transform today's Grid to an Intelligent Grid System by:
Further developments that can be achieved through the establishment of an Intelligent Grid include:
We will discuss a novel set of design guidelines for utilities (and other industries) to build their own Open Intelligent Grid System with the lowest possible risk and cost, while achieving the architectural criteria, technical features and functions required. We will discuss how to avoid the dead ends to which limited design and architecture can lead, and we will lay out the design solutions that will overcome the business and technical challenges posed by an array of technology products and business imperatives.
Here is the description of the one of the embodiments of this invention:
Our approach to the Intelligent Grid System architecture is to create a grid that is self-aware and remotely and/or automatically controllable. To achieve this, the architecture is capable of using any available equipment, device, system, and communications network.
The architecture can deliver connectivity and communications from devices to systems and vice versa. The connectivity and communications may be routed through a virtual path that is a collection of several media (e.g. serial and IP based fiber optic, wired, and radio channels, microwave, private networks such as LAN, WAN, Intranet, Motorola Harmony, Motorola canopy, and M/A-COM OpenSky, or public networks such as Verizon, Nextel, and etc.).
The architecture is also capable of supporting of any future wideband data path to utility clients for other uses, such as connectivity to the Internet or other private and public networks. The following is a sample of elements that the architecture encompasses: (This is one of the embodiments, and it is given as an example.)
Here is the description of the one of the embodiments of this invention:
The following is a set of architectural and design criteria for building an Intelligent Grid System at the lowest possible risks and costs:
(Please note that IGIN is a term coined by the inventor of the current application. Any trademark and IP protection for that term belongs to the assignee of the current application.)
The content of this disclosure and invention is applicable to electric, water, gas, and oil utilities, and the vendors who provide equipment and systems to the utilities. It can also apply to other industries/businesses/models, such as Internet businesses, telecommunication, manufacturing sector/plants, and IT networks. For simplicity, and as an example and one embodiment, the focus of the disclosure and the examples and references are for electric utility systems and infrastructures.
Here is the description of the one of the embodiments of this invention:
IGIN is a flexible and smart element that can be added to field devices, computer, and telecommunication networks to create larger manageable and secure hybrid networks.
IGIN allows networks to support simultaneously low and high throughput data communication using IP and serial schemes over a wide range of wired and wireless media.
One example and embodiment of IGIN unit is based on an open computer hardware, with any operating system, such as open or standard operating system. Another example is a Single Board Computer (SBC) with an embedded standard OS, such as Windows CE.Net or Linux. Standard operating systems relieve the organization of tying core solutions to expensive propriety hardware that may become obsolete in a few short years. Additionally, standard operating systems, such as Windows CE.Net, can be loaded onto hundreds of different SBCs offered by different global manufactures. With its standard OS, IGIN automatically inherits a large set of advanced features and functions. The following list covers a partial set of its features:
Adding IGIN to the device-to-grid interfaces will add the required intelligence to the network very inexpensively. For example, IGIN that works under Windows CE.NET OS will provide the followings:
Creating Intelligent Grid architecture can start with the implementation of a single IGIN unit and can be expanded to include all elements of the grid. IGIN can be installed unit by unit over time, or it can be implemented in a shorter period of time by installing a large number of IGINs.
The core function of IGIN is to use all communication media that is owned by or available to a utility to provide seamless connectivity amongst the grid devices and utility systems, for example, EMS (Energy Management system), GIS (Geographic Information System), OMS (Outage Management System), DA (Distribution Automatic System), AMR, or CIS (Customer Information System). IGIN enables utilities to create a hybrid communication network, such as connecting fiber to wireless to power-line carrier to microwave to radios to other networks and systems.
In addition, IGIN can connect utilities to their clients by providing connectivity to appliances at homes, offices, and factories, while offering the clients wideband access to outside networks, such as the Internet.
As an example, IGIN is made of generic, standard, microprocessor-based hardware. It is a hardened generic computer that is designed for industrial applications. It can operate in extreme temperatures (−40� C. to +85� C.), in harsh environments. There are no moving components and/or parts in the IGIN hardware, therefore, there are no mechanical failures associated with wear and tear.
IGIN hardware has a proven track record in the automation industry, as well as in sensitive fields, such as medical equipment and military systems. Because of its standard generic nature, the IGIN hardware is manufactured by different vendors, and therefore, it is available in the market at low prices.
As one can see in
Here is the description of the one of the embodiments of this invention. Any other obvious variations are also intended to be covered by this current invention:
To build IGIN, one should choose to use the open and standard computer hardware with standard hardware ports and interface capabilities that network every device and elements of utility infrastructure using existing serial and IP standards. It is capable of routing data at high and low speeds from any location to any other locations through a hybrid communications networks. It can concentrate data and secure data communications. Its function can be extended to perform other functions, such as capbank and switch control. It can simultaneously communicate on different channels with different protocols.
Step 1:
Step 2:
Step 3:
Step 4:
Using the rules, signature, Digital Rights Management (DRM), and encryption schemes available in the market, such as PKI and RSA, one can add the layers for privacy and security in this system, so that the flow of information is restricted, monitored, or pre-authorized. This way, the owner of the content can customize who can access what, and under what conditions, and when.
Any other obvious variations or types of the features described above are also intended to be covered by the current invention and claims.

Smart move by Honda? I think it could be.
Currently CRT engines can not be "works" status they must be prepared by private teams. Ten Kate receive full works backing in WSBK so is this a backdoor way for Honda to supply a full "works" spec engine if it is doing so under the guise of it being "prepared" by Ten Kate for Gresini?
