Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) March 17, 2014
X-Rite, Incorporated, the world leader in color management, measurement and communication technologies, today announced the release of ColorTRUE™ for Apple iOS and Google Android platforms. ColorTRUE provides photographers, designers, and prepress professionals the ability to calibrate and profile their tablet and mobile devices for accurate color matching. ColorTRUE includes a Create Profile tool and an Image Gallery viewer and is currently available as a free download on the Apple® App Store and Google® Play Store.
ColorTRUE Calibration
ColorTRUE creates a custom display profile for iOS and Android mobile devices using a supported X-Rite measurement device. The user simply places the connected device on the tablet or phone when prompted and the measurement process begins automatically. The profile is applied to all images displayed through the ColorTRUE Image Gallery, providing the user with the most accurate color match to a desktop reference monitor, or other color managed monitors.
Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, commented: "While iOS and Android devices deliver pleasing color right out of the box, ColorTRUE is the first app that will provide photographers, designers, and prepress professionals with a true color match from desktop to mobile. Tablets have become increasingly important in imaging workflows and getting accurate color on the mobile device is now as critical as it is on the desktop. Whether showing your portfolio to a perspective client or soft-proofing an image before final run, ColorTRUE delivers color accuracy at the level X-Rite customers expect, while maintaining the speed and simplicity of use necessary in the mobile environment."
ColorTRUE Image Gallery
ColorTRUE is the only mobile color management app that delivers an Image Gallery viewer with a unique set of tools that enables the highest level of color accurate viewing:
Coloratti George Jardine states, "It only makes sense that X-Rite would be first to the party with a super-easy mobile calibration solution that really works! ColorTRUE gives me the confidence that what I'm seeing on my iPad will match the corrections that I've made on my professional i1Display-calibrated and profiled desktop displays. And the best part is...ColorTRUE uses my existing hardware."
ColorTRUE Aware Partner Program
With the launch of ColorTRUE, X-Rite also announces its ColorTRUE Aware partner program. Unlike laptop or desktop operating systems, iOS and Android operating systems do not have system wide color management capabilities. This means each app must apply color profiles independently. X-Rite will soon release a Software Developers Kit (SDK) that will allow 3rd party app developers access to the ColorTRUE profile, enabling them to seamlessly deliver color management within their own app(s). ColorTRUE users can be confident any third party app such as image editing or viewing, inline production approval, or even creative sketching for proof of concept is color managed whenever they see the ColorTRUE Aware logo. More information can be found at xritephoto.com/colortrueSDK.
Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, continued, "As tablets and mobile devices increasingly permeate color and image based workflows, it has never been more important that these devices become truly color accurate. With ColorTRUE and the ColorTRUE Aware partner program, X-Rite now offers the missing color management components on iOS and Android platforms. Our goal is to enable app developers and help create an eco-system of color managed apps. We encourage all app developers where color is important to their users to contact us and learn more about our ColorTRUE Aware partner program."
Supported X-Rite Devices
An X-Rite measurement device (sold separately) is required for the ColorTRUE® calibration process. iOS phones and tablets support ColorMunki Smile, ColorMunki Display, i1Display Pro, and i1Pro 2, while Android phones and tablets support ColorMunki Display and i1Display Pro. Visit xritephoto.com/colortrue for complete specifications list.

Special Report - Celebrating 40 Years of Science & Discovery
EMSL Grand Challenges expected to produce grand advances
In an effort to continue to strengthen and focus its user program, PNNL's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) is challenging the traditional approach to research. EMSL scientists are designing an alternative approach geared toward making the rapid integration of scientific findings a part of the scientific process from the beginning. The result is the Scientific Grand Challenge, a coordinated, multi-investigator research effort to resolve a challenging scientific issue.
Designed to last three to five years, Scientific Grand Challenges pose a significant scientific question that requires access to EMSL's cutting-edge resources—specialized instruments, computational tools and research teams. Additionally, Grand Challenge research at EMSL is possible through collaborative, interdisciplinary science teams assembled from PNNL, academia and other national laboratories.
"These teams bring together international expertise to advance an area of science in ways that haven't been possible before," said Allison Campbell, interim EMSL director.
One key to integrating these teams is to provide rapid feedback to all science team members. "Through EMSL's unique suite of instrumentation and expertise, teams will have ready access to data, samples and feedback on their experiments," said Campbell. "This type of integration will rapidly drive answers to the questions of the Grand Challenges."
Two Grand Challenges are currently under way, with teams of scientists from several disciplines and institutions approaching each challenge from several different directions simultaneously.
The first focuses on a biogeo-chemistry question concerning the fundamental interaction between microbes and minerals. This project is led by PNNL researchers and involves roughly 20 primary investigators. The biogeochemistry Grand Challenge has implications for everything from understanding energy and nutrient transport in microbial and mineral systems to waste remediation.
The second Grand Challenge is in membrane biology—addressing the structure and function of proteins in the cell membrane—and is led by researchers at Washington University in St. Louis. Membrane processes are critical to solving highly complex problems related to carbon sequestration and energy transduction. Results from this study will have implications for providing enabling technologies to examine complex biological processes—allowing better understanding of how organisms behave and respond to environmental changes.

Terre Haute REX baseball will return to action this summer. The Indiana State University Foundation announced that the Terre Haute REX franchise has been sold to a local ownership consortium, the Wabash Valley Baseball, LLC. "We have been in conversation with this group for several months, and our hard work has finally paid off," said Ron Carpenter, president of the ISU Foundation. The REX began in 2010 as an investment strategy for the foundation, with the long term vision of selling the team to other investors. The selling price of the REX to the Wabash Valley Baseball, LLC was nearly double the foundation's initial cost to buy into the Prospect League. "It has always been our goal to make sure that the REX remain a point of pride for the Wabash Valley, and with this group's support and guidance, it will be," said Carpenter. Investors involved in the Wabash Valley Baseball, LLC are Brian Dorsett, Bob Brown, Kevin Hoolehan, Ray Kepner, Bruce Rosselli, and John Newton. All backers have significant ties to Terre Haute. Under the foundation's ownership the team earned a 133-98 record and reached the Prospect League's post season twice. The REX also averaged more than 27,000 fans per season and attracted support from a variety of local businesses. "REX baseball is a good thing for the community, and we were glad to help bring back and maintain summer baseball in Terre Haute for the past four years," said Carpenter. "We are thrilled that the REX will again take the field at Indiana State's Bob Warn Field this summer." The REX will open the 2014 season on May 27 at Danville. All home games will be played at Indiana State University's Bob Warn Field at Sycamore Stadium. The REX will also host the 2014 Prospect League all-star game on July 7-9.

text: October 1, 2006 Just like my first year of college, my summer has disappeared in a flash. Unfortunately, my friends and I didn't get to go on that awesome road trip that we had been "planning" for months. And by "planning" I mean conversations like this: "We should so DO something this summer." Then the collective "YESSSS!" Silence. Change of topic. So I will admit that we were all partially responsible for being lazy and not having the summer that al those coming of age movies seem to center on. Whatever, though. My summer was awesome regardless. We randomly went to Rye Beach Playland (where part of the movie "Big" was filmed). I hadn't been there in years, so that was fun. We had various mini adventures (we swam in the Long Island Sound at 1:00 AM), and I do miss it. And yes, I also found time for work. A little side note about myself: I get stir crazy very easily. Therefore, I worked various places (all in the city!) during the summer. Job No. 1 was at a certain chain of "booksellers" in Chelsea…I forgot how taxing working with the public was, and I lasted only 6 weeks. Job No. 2 and 3 involved working with fashion salesmen, and I worked with samples and shuttled between the offices in midtown and the fashion district.. Job No. 4 was perhaps my most intense job of all: babysitting my little cousins and their 8-week-old new puppy. I have new respect for my friends who baby sit…it is NOT a cushy job. A week after that job ended I came back here. I'm settled in and relieved that I don't have to commute more than 15 minutes (at the most) and that the busiest street is Martin's Way.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a clinical syndrome caused by degeneration of the frontal lobe of the brain and may extend back to the temporal lobe. It is one of three syndromes caused by frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
Behavioural symptoms include lethargy and aspontaneity or oppositely disinhibition. Apathetic patients may become socially withdrawn and stay in bed all day or no longer take care of themselves. Disinhibited patients can make inappropriate (sometimes sexual) comments or perform inappropriate acts. Patients with FTD can sometimes get into trouble with the police because of inappropriate behaviour such as stealing. Recent findings indicate that psychotic symptoms are rare in FTD, possibly due to limited temporal-limbic involvement in this disorder. Among the FTD patients, only 2 (2.3%) had delusions, 1 of whom had paranoid ideation; no FTD patient had hallucinations. This was significantly less than the AD patients, 4 (17.4%) of whom had delusions and paranoia. See ref. "Psychotic symptoms."
Executive function is the cognitive skill of planning and organizing. Patients become unable to perform skills that require complex planning or sequencing.
Language skills can be affected in a number of ways with two broad patterns. Some patients remain fluent with normal phonology and syntax but increasing difficulty with naming and word comprehension, known as semantic dementia in which there is atrophy of the anterior temporal lobes, typically with an asymmetric pattern. Other patients, by contrast, present with a breakdown in speech fluency due to articulation difficulty, phonological and/or syntactic errors but preservation of word comprehension, referred to as progressive nonfluent aphasia.
In addition to the characteristic cognitive dysfunction, a number of primitive reflexes known as frontal release signs are often able to be elicited. Usually the first of these frontal release signs to appear is the palmomental reflex which appears relatively early in the disease course whereas the palmar grasp reflex and rooting reflex appear late in the disease course.
FTD can occur in patients with motor neurone disease (also known in the US as Lou Gehrig's disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) in a small number of cases. The prognosis for people with MND is worse when combined with FTD, shortening survival by about a year.
Because FTD often occurs in younger people (i.e. in their 40's or 50's), it can severely affect families. Patients often still have children living in the home. Financially, it can be devastating as the disease strikes at the time of life that is often the top wage-earning years.

Guard Dog Vue 260-lumen Flashlight, Matte Black is rated out of 5 by 6.Rated 5 out of 5 by DAVID from I bought one several years ago and used it for hunting and work as a police officer. It still works great. The on/off switch on my old one was on the end. This new one has it on the side, which works better for my style of pistol shooting. I'm using my old one for hunting and the new one for work. It is surprisingly bright and durable and maintains a charge for a long time. I work day shift, so I don't use it a lot, but it maintains its charge for several months. The price is also a plus.Date published: 2014-05-23Rated 4 out of 5 by TIM from Good product, but the switching is strange, when you turn it off it switches to the next beam mode. Then when you turn it back on you need to cycle though the three modes to get back to the original beam.Date published: 2014-03-07Rated 4 out of 5 by AARON H from This product did not work for whatever unknown reason thus required return for exchange which we are in process of.Date published: 2013-11-16Rated 5 out of 5 by JAMES from I got it to keep in the truck, using the DC charger won't have to worry about batteriesDate published: 2013-09-20Rated 5 out of 5 by PRESTON from Very pleased with the guard dog light.

Taylor Swift continues to reign with 'Red' at No. 1
"Red" has been out for two weeks and it shows no signs of slowing down. Taylor Swift's new album remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart, with an additional 344,000 copies sold over the past seven days.
In its first week of release, "Red" sold 1.2 million copies, making it the first album released by a female artist to sell over 1 million units since Lady Gaga's "Born This Way." "Red" dropped 72 percent in sales from week one to week two, which isn't that out of the ordinary for records as popular as this.
Though Swift didn't walk away with any awards at the CMAs, she did win over audiences with her somewhat clichéd performance of "Begin Again." Up next, Swift will launch off on a North American tour in March.

Ottawa — Women who report being raped in Sudan are threatened and often accused of adultery. Victims of sexual violence are denied access to medical treatment, while they face many legal disadvantages.
"The women of Sudan are facing a crisis of sexual violence with no end in sight," according to the report 'Survivors Speak Out: Sexual Violence in Sudan', released on 6 December. It has documented the pervasiveness of sexual violence against women in Sudanese regions. The research team consists of Nobel Peace laureates, in the International Campaign to Stop Rape & Gender Violence in Conflict.
In an equivalent report from 2011, the Nobel Women's Initiative stated that in Darfur, rape is used by armies and Janjaweed to terrorise and displace mostly non-Arab tribes. Also other parties have committed sexual violence during the war that arose in Darfur in 2003.
'Raped while doing daily jobs'
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has treated almost 500 raped women and girls during a five-month period in 2012. In August 2006, Human Rights Watch reported 200 sexual assaults in South Darfur's Kalma camp in five weeks. MSF also found that 82 per cent of the interviewed Darfuri rape survivors is assaulted while "undertaking daily activities", and less is abused when fleeing from an attack on their community.
Rape 'a weapon of war'
South Kordofan, which includes Abyei and the Nuba Mountains, has witnessed an increase in clashes between the Sudanese army and opposing armed groups since the division of Sudan and South Sudan in July 2011. Sexual violence has been perpetrated by both sides, according testimonies from civilians. According to the report, systematic rape has been used as a weapon of war and political repression in Sudan's campaign to "eliminate the Nuba identity", terrorise the population and "cleanse" them from the area.
The research on sexual violence in Blue Nile is thin as the United Nations mandate for peacekeeping expired in July 2011, and human rights groups were denied access to the region since then.
More vulnerable in IDP camps
Gender-based violence occurs in the cities as well. Internally displaced women living in refugee camps or urban centres such as Khartoum are more vulnerable to sexual violence. It is unsafe inside the centres, and the women going outside are exposed to attacks as they venture for water or firewood. Gangs that regularly rape women have emerged in and around camps for displaced people in Khartoum, the report says.
Women are silenced
"Several publicised cases hint at the heavy-handed treatment of women by government forces in Khartoum," the researchers state. Safiya Ishaq for example was 25 years old at the time she was kidnapped and gang-raped by three men of the Khartoum security forces in February 2011. She has revealed this publicly in her testimony on YouTube.
Ishaq has told the Nobel Women's Initiative that she was harassed by police agents when she wanted to file a police report. Journalists who reported about her sexual abuse were threatened or imprisoned as the National Intelligence and Security Services accused them of 'spreading false allegations'.
It is rare among people in Sudan to speak out and report being raped, because "there is are weaknesses in the legal system" according to a local activist working in camps for the displaced in Khartoum in 2012. One of them is that it is not a crime for men who rape their wives in a marital relationship.
Also, in Sudan's Criminal Act of 1991, rape is defined as adultery without consent. "And because adultery is a serious crime in Sudan, the woman who alleges rape risks being charged if she cannot convince the court that the sexual interaction was non-consensual," the report explains. "Simply being unmarried and pregnant is ample grounds to prove adultery."
Besides, the perpetrator must either confess, or four adult male witnesses have to testify to prove the sexual interaction has occurred without the victim's consent.
Another obstacle for victims of rape, is a document known as Form 8. Between 1991 and 2005, the government required women to obtain it at the police station in order to receive medical treatment after a sexual assault. Although the form is no longer required by law, doctors refuse to provide medical exams without the form for fear of reprisal.
Little help from organisations
The Nobel Women's Initiative complains about the government's effort nowadays to prevent their study on sexual violence. In 2009, many of the international humanitarian organisations in Darfur that delivered medical and psychological services to women were expelled from Sudan. "The local civil society groups that replaced the organisations are largely unable to fulfil the need for sexual violence programming in Darfur."
According to the report, one step toward ending the sexual violence would be "to distinguish the crime of rape from that of adultery." Finally, it demands that the International Criminal Court's (ICC) arrest warrant against President Omar Al Bashir be enforced so that he can stand trial for his war crimes against the people of Darfur.
In 2008, Bashir is accused by the ICC of using mass-rape to destroy target groups in Darfur. A year earlier, he had claimed: "It is not in the Sudanese culture or people of Darfur to rape. It does not exist."

Participants and Biographies:
Fallin: Bryan, what were you going to say?
Cunningham: I'd like to divert the discussion for about two minutes from the purely commercial side because in addition to passing the Patriot Act, we spent a lot of time in the White House, thinking about, "What's the worst that can happen?"
Mullen: And when you say "we," who do you mean?
Harrison: He can't tell you that. He'll have to shoot you.
Cunningham: The Congress of the United States, and the Executive Branch. So, rarely would you ever get a group with your kind of expertise and perspective together to address the following question. There's a huge debate as to whether or not there is a legitimate, significant, national security threat to the United States or to other countries from information security-type attacks. I would love to hear a discussion of whether there's any realistic capability that's either in existence now or in the next five or ten years, where you could do serious damage -- data system attacks, screwing up the FAA airline transportation system. Do you think this threat is over-hyped or not?
Kaminsky: Let's break down the problem that you provide.
Mullen: I'm going to get in trouble on this one.
Kaminsky: The national security threat is that the country might become unable to implement its will due to a certain kind of information-style attack. In other words, there is a command and the command cannot be implemented because the mechanisms are not in place to implement the command.
Cunningham: Or there's catastrophic damage to the economy or public services.
Kaminsky: That is arguably a different problem. On the one hand, there's the problem of: we want to do a short term thing and we can't. On the other hand is: we had a complex chaotic system -- the economy -- in operation, and that chaotic system has been disrupted in a manner that is short-term extremely harmful. These are two different problems. They are two different national security threats. Would you agree with that?
Cunningham: They are.
Kaminsky: It would be very hard to argue that neither is technically possible.
Nachreiner: How about probable? Let's get out of this "what is technically possible" and get into what is really happening. Who cares if they're theoretically possible. Are they probable?
Mullen: That's novel. You actually want to discuss real life scenarios. [laughter]
Nachreiner: Exactly. Will we really get attacked by something that will hurt our government?
Long: Look at what the US is scared about right now: it's the asymmetric threat. The threat does not come from a super power. It's not about getting attacked by some big country with lots of money. It's asymmetric threats. One person causing damage to a big group. Well, in that sense, that's the same threat any government faces online, you know? The war in cyberspace is asymmetric. The threat is, one smart person with a little bit of funding, on any kind of connection, could potentially inflict a large amount of damage. That's it. Plain and simple.
Cunningham: All right, does anyone disagree with that?
Mullen: That they could do it?
Cunningham: Could.
Mullen: Well, I could flap my arms and fly to the moon if I do it hard enough. [To actually hurt American infrastructure by using the Internet] would require a sustained attack that includes the physical.
Cunningham: It's not just that. You could disrupt surgery schedules in hospitals around the country. You could disrupt the air transportation system, I mean there are a lot of theoretical ways that you could do a lot of economic and terror damage. Remember, terrorism is just striking fear in people. It's not really based on the amount of actual damage you can do. And so what I'm asking this group is, What is the realistic probability of such a threat?
Mullen: A terrorist is not gonna interrupt the communications network. Without the communications network, the fact that they've induced whatever pain and suffering on the target won't be communicated. The way that a terrorist is going to get their point across is to bring two big buildings down so everybody can watch it on television.
Harrison: That much has been made very clear.
Mullen: So, the threat of an asymmetric terrorist group actually attacking an infrastructure that would interrupt communications I think is minimal.
Cunningham: How about public utilities? How about air transportation? How about data systems?
Mullen: You're talking about a qualified attack over an infrastructure that would have to remain intact in order for the full value of the attack to be realized across the States.
Temmingh: So, basically what you're saying is that a Denial of Service attack and a viral attack don't go hand-in-hand.
Cunningham: Look, it's a very sincere question. If the experts in this room honestly believe that the possibility, given today's technology, of a catastrophic national security-damaging attack are vanishing …
Mullen: I'm not going to say that.
Cunningham: …That we shouldn't--
Harrison: I think you've overgeneralized the issue.
Mullen: I once had grid resources through a Web application anonymously for a power company. Grid resource control, OK? SQL injection, hit that through an anonymous connection and I had grid resources for the State. I understand what the threat is. I understand what the risk is. Is it possible that a terrorist group is going to use the Internet to inflict damage? Absolutely. So, if you're gonna ask us is the possibility there, we're technology people. We have to say, Of course, the possibility is there.
Cunningham: But understand there are technology people who say the possibility isn't there.
Mullen: Fine. They can say that. But the possibility is there. It'd be hard to argue. Anybody who tells me the possibility is not there is going to have to erase my memory.
Cunningham: Don't think that's not do-able. [laughter]
Pinzon: Somehow that's more scary coming from a government guy. [laughter]
Cunningham: Ex-government guy!
Mullen: Well, I was waiting on Will Smith to walk in here with his memory flashlight -- [laughter]
Kaminsky: What was it, a couple years back we had an Eastern power outage?
Mullen: Yeah.
Kaminsky: The entire Northeast lost all electricity. It's never been conclusively, publicly said that this was because of Blaster, but pretty much everyone that I know in that scene was saying, Yeah, Blaster took out all the management machines. Now, I've not seen the evidence first hand, and in fact I've since heard other well-placed people contradict this early reaction, but the point is that nobody considered it at all impossible or even unlikely that this very large scale power outage was the result of Blaster.
Harrison: That's the first thing that everybody thought of.
Fallin: …No, but if the virus was targeted -- [room breaks into comments; Fallin prevails] No, no, stop stop. If the virus was targeted, and somebody stands up like al-Qaeda and says, "We did that," then that Northeast power outage becomes a completely different event.
Cunningham: What it becomes, under international law, is an act of war.
Kaminsky: Yes it does.
Fallin: How are you going to retaliate and wage war on a group of people that we've been chasing for four years?
[several voices talking at once]
Mullen: Are we not in agreement?
Temmingh: I guess the problem here is, who's got the most machines connected to the Net?
Mullen: Oh, I do. [laughter]
Temmingh: No, I mean what country has the most machines hooked to the Internet?
Nachreiner: U.S.
Harrison: Although China's coming up fast.
Temmingh: Who's got the most to lose, if there's an information war?
Harrison: If you had to pick one right now, this very time and place, I'd say, America would be the biggest target because we have the biggest interconnected infrastructure.
Temmingh: Sure, and that's my point. How much does America have to lose in this whole thing? A lot. Probably even the most of any country in the world.
Long: That's the nature of an asymmetric threat.
Mullen: The question, though, the original question was, Does the threat of infrastructure attacks exist? It does.
Temmingh: Absolutely.
Cunningham: But just understand. That is a controversial answer. I mean, there are lawyers, there are policy makers, there are technical specialists who will tell ya this cannot happen.
Mullen: OK, then they weren't sittin' on the Web, attacking grid resources.
Cunningham: I understand. And I'm looking forward to this transcript being published. [big laughter]
Mullen: But I think this is important -- is the United States communication infrastructure a critical part of a terrorist attack? Not because of taking it out, but because of keeping it up. Right? You know what happened to the CNN Web site on 9/11?
Harrison: It was like Slashdot hooked to it.
Mullen: Well yeah, people couldn't access it.
Harrison: That could just as easily be people beating it to death with requests.
Fallin: But there was still radio and television.
Mullen: Yes!
[descends into chaos of voices.]
Mullen: Wait wait! What do you think caused the terror?
Temmingh: The fact that you couldn't route to CNN.
Mullen: No, that wasn't the terror. The terror was the fact that these people were killed. The way that everybody found out that the people were killed was over the communications network.
Temmingh: Mm-hmm.
Harrison: I got to watch the second plane hit. I was not watching the Internet.
Cunningham: So your point is that a terrorist that was wanting to launch a catastrophic attack would want the communication system to stay up.
Mullen: Because the reason that it's terror --
Cunningham: Fine! But why are you limiting your analysis to the communications system?
Mullen: It's not just the communications system. Because, if an attack -- for a coordinated attack to go off against all these systems simultaneously, it's gonna have to continue. I wouldn't launch a singular attack, expecting that it's gonna work the first time. You're gonna have to saturate the network.
Harrison: Or look for a cascade effect.
Mullen: Otherwise, if you don't saturate the network … If you don't continue the attack, it ends. You have to make a continued, sustained attack, to make sure that all available assets continue to be exploited. That's gonna have to be true on all networks. If that's going to happen, the terrorists risk taking out the entire infrastructure.
Cunningham: Well you guys tell me; you're the experts. But I would think the capabilities are more subtle and targetable than that. I would think you could leave CNN's Web site up while --
Mullen: CNN can't leave CNN's Web site up.
Cunningham: -- and you could leave communications alone, yet touch air traffic control, and hospitals, and water resources, and just stay away from the communications. And that's probably what they'd want to do.
Mullen: It's not gonna play like that.
Pinzon: I don't buy it.
Mullen: You don't? You think I'm wrong about that. Okay.
Pinzon: I don't think that terrorists necessarily care if our communications stay up. I think they understand that it would also be scary if suddenly no one could reach Las Vegas by phone or Web or --
Harrison: Uncertainty more scary than fact? There were more people talking about what they saw on the news than what they couldn't see. I guarantee you.
Mullen: You're agreeing with me.
Harrison: Yes. I think we're ignoring one of the basic precepts behind terror and terrorist acts: they're anything but subtle. The idea is, "We're going to literally make you wish you had a clean pair of underwear." That's the biggest point behind any terrorist attack you ever saw. Why do they like bombs? Because it makes a big noise, a big flash, and people die. They like running into stores, and mosques, and what not, shooting people left and right. Why? Because it's a lot of noise, it's a lot of flash, and people die. You could take out our entire Internet, and with few exceptions, people won't die.
Nachreiner: But I think what Cunningham's saying is, What if they didn't take out the whole Internet and they just shut off all the power in New York ?
Harrison: Here's my point. While it is possible and certainly easy to mount, for at least a short period of time, the probability that they're going to use this medium to attack us in the context of a terrorist act is very small in my opinion.
Cunningham: Because why?
Harrison: There's very little return on the effort.
Mullen: Let's ask an attacker how hard that would be. [Turning to Jaco van Graan] Now--
[laughter; asides: "I didn't see his bomb!"]
Mullen: You attack my infrastructure. Internet Web has to stay up, Exchange communications between all my clients has to stay up, and access to the Web has to stay up. You have to take out my SQL server, you have to take out my authentication server, and you have to take out my, um, internal alarm system. While leaving everything else up. How hard is that gonna be for you to do?
Van Graan: I think if you have enough time, then you will be able to do it.
Mullen: Enough time on my one network. And how much time is that for you to go in, and on this one network, do reconnaissance that will allow you to create a sustained attack that keeps all these services off line, while allowing all these other services to stay on line indefinitely?
Temmingh: I think that depends on what kind of attack you're doing, but, I think what you're referring to is, if you wanna take those machines down -- if you're talking a Denial of Service attack, it's gonna be really difficult to be a Denial of Service attack.
Mullen: I agree with you.
Temmingh: I think it's all or nothing.
Mullen: That, sir, is my point. Now multiply that times 150 million, okay? Different infrastructures. Different services. Different attack points. Different attack platforms and sources. In order to sustain an attack like this -- this is my opinion -- the infrastructure's all or nothing.
Kaminsky: Why do you have to sustain an attack? Why not just cause enough damage such that --
Mullen: Because then the attack's no longer an attack.
Kaminsky: Well I mean --
[people jumping in; Temmingh prevails]
Temmingh: If you start deleting all the data on the server, it's not a sustained attack. But it's unrecoverable.
Mullen: We're not talking about that. We're talking about the Denial of Service; we're talking about --
Nachreiner: No we're not! We're talking about a critical strike to one resource.
Mullen: You mean, take it out and it never comes back up? How do you know it never comes back up?
Cunningham: It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter if it ever comes back up, because terrorism is about spreading fear.
Mullen: Mm-hmm. And how you gonna spread it?
Cunningham: And once a sector of this economy understands that they're vulnerable, that is severe economic and national security damage.
Fallin: Case in point. I happen to know that the systems which control the inflow of water to a major west coast city are all computer-controlled, and many of them are accessible from the Internet. It is possible through the abuse of those controls, or similar controls on natural gas pipelines, and those sorts of things, to permanently rupture a --
Mullen: Not permanent.
Fallin: Well, for a period of weeks, damage the vessels through which the water and the gas flow into the city.
Mullen: That's what I mean by sustained.
Temmingh: No no no! That's not what he's saying. He's saying it's permanent damage.
Mullen: It's not permanent.
Temmingh: If it's physical, there goes the pipe and water.
Fallin: I can rupture a gas pipeline by abusing the controls, I can rupture a water pipeline by abusing the controls. Suddenly the city has no water and no gas. No sustained attack: sustained effect.
Mullen: The difference between turning the valve and shutting off the line, and abusing that valve to the degree that it causes permanent damage. Now … you've done this?
Fallin. No. It is theoretically possible according to somebody who has intimate knowledge of the system.
Mullen: Okay, well then they're using the wrong controls.
Fallin: But those are the controls they have.
Kaminsky: Large-scale physical infrastructure can always be configured in a way that causes things to blow up.
Mullen: Can you walk over to your tub and overpressure the pipe in such a way --
Kaminsky: That's your tub! That's not something that serves water to a city!
[pandemonium; overtalking]
Mullen: Okay, theoretically possible. Wait wait!
Temmingh: Come on, we don't know! Let's just say, we don't know.
Fallin: It's something along the lines of a failure in one power control system in Ohio, taking out the entire Northeast through a cascading affect.
Kaminsky: Which happened.
Cunningham: Does anyone disagree with this proposition? I have not heard anyone say, that it's not technically possible for people with bad intent against the United States to do catastrophic damage to our infrastructure. Even if that damage is short-term. I've not heard anybody object to that.
Mullen: Of course we're not going to, because we don't know. No one's going to say that, even if they think it.
Cunningham: Okay, so you concede it's possible --
Mullen: You know what? The little red light on there [gesturing to the iPod recording this session], nobody's going to sit here and say, "It's not possible." Even if they believe it.
Cunningham: All right. So possible is not the same as likely, and it's not the same as saying, we ought to devote significant resources to this. So. Getting back to the original overhyped/underhyped question, is there consensus that critical infrastructure threats are either of significant magnitude and probability that we should worry about them, or they are of vanishing probability? Or do we just disagree about that?
Kaminsky: I don't think they're a vanishing probability. Basically, I think they're appropriately worried about.
Mullen: Without enough data to support a conclusion.
Harrison: That's a fair statement. So then, you have real possibility bordering on real probability. The question we have to examine is, do we deal with this in a blanket manner where all things must be dealt with in a Patriot Act kind of mentality?
Cunningham: Oh, I'd have that discussion, but you don't have enough time! [laughter]
Harrison: I don't think we're going to come away from this meeting tonight with an answer to that question.
Cunningham: But I think we've made a lot of progress. Because we've got a dozen experts here who say it's something that's so possible, we ought to worry about it. And that opinion is not universally shared.
Fallin: Okay then, new question. "There is no longer any privacy; get over it." Is this statement accurate, or overstated?

A Note from PFS Executive Director Andrew Greenblatt
Over the last couple weeks, I've had the great opportunity to speak with many of you about our fantastic program this year, and I'm thrilled with how excited everyone seems to be. As the Festival approaches, I wanted to share a few additional thoughts with you.
One of the favorite perks of my job is the ability to travel around the world to the top film festivals, watching some of the most original, challenging, important films every year.

Above all, I hope you see a lot of great films, engage in some great conversations with fellow audience members, enjoy our brand new Festival lounge, and have a memorable experience. See you at the movies!

Does this work on lion?
I have the newest Mac Book Pro and it came with lion, I don't need it to transfer sound when using hdmi, but will everything else work fine?
- Asked by Andres C from San Jose
Griffin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI with Audio + DVI
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
Yes, it works with Lion, and audio pass trough too. Sometimes audio don't work, this is because some apps don't initialize the audio channel, just open itunes and play any song a bit and that's all, close itunes return to your app and audio works fine again.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1981 Ford Mustang - Level Up
Not many Fox coupes are on the level of Robby Miller's '81 T-top
With the mad rush to make Mustang Week behind him, it was time for the mad rush to get the car back home so Boosted Performance's Donnie Salem could work his magic on the car. Robby's comfortable with doing most mechanical work, but building an engine is a little outside his realm of expertise, so he had Donnie go through a MMR 900 short-block he purchased online. Donnie also added Stage 3 ported '96-'98 B-series heads with Crower Stage 3 cams. A ProCharger P-1SC supercharger added needed boost, and the combination was tuned by Amazon Tuning Solutions' Rick Erdman.
"To say I'm pleased with the new engine combination is an understatement. It definitely puts a smile on my face every time I drive it, and with the new cams it's hard to mistake its arrival at the local cruise-ins," Robby said.
In all, it took Robby a year to build the car. "I tell people I built the car in a year, but it took four years off my life," Robby says. He makes that statement with a smile because it's been a dream of Robby's to take a car, and with a vision in mind, watch it come together like a fine piece of art. This vision, along with Robby's intrinsic motivation, is what drove him to level up from his Mystichrome to his custom '81 coupe. 5.0
Horse Sense: The night Robby got the car back after having the engine compartment painted, he installed the engine and transmission in the car and had it back on all fours...in his basement. He didn't get done until 4 a.m. and slept on the basement couch.

Farmville passing your ID onto ad companies?
Yet another Facebook privacy storm has errupted today with claims that the makers of popular apps like Farmville are passing on the IDs of users and their friends to advertising companies.
An investigation by the Wall Street Journal has revealed that ten of the most popular apps on the social networking site - including Texas Hold 'Em Poker, Frontierville and Farmville - are guilty of sharing information with outside parties.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
The WSJ report claims that 25 ad companies are being sold the user's Facebook ID, from which they can discover your real name, even if you have the strictest privacy settings in place. The data is then used to place targetted adverts on your page.
The alleged security breach breaks Facebook's privacy code and the social networking site has pledged to introduce tighter controls.
He said: "As part of our work to provide people with control over their information, we've learned that the design and operation of the iInternet doesn't always provide the greatest control that is technically possible.
"For example, in the Spring, it was brought to our attention that Facebook user IDs may be inadvertently included in the URL referrer sent to advertisers. Here, WSJ has uncovered the same issue on Facebook Platform where a Facebook user ID may be inadvertently shared by a user's Internet browser or by an application delivering content to a user."

Alex Hendley is pleased Ross Wallace is on the way back.
It was announced on Monday that Clarets winger Ross Wallace was making a steady return to fitness and played 45 minutes in the Development Squad's 1-0 win against Wolves. While Sean Dyche and the club refused to put a timescale on Wallace's return to the first team, it's still worthwhile taking time to consider what part the Scot has to play in the high-flying Clarets team.
Since Wallace's last appearance of the season in a 2-0 victory over Yeovil Town, the Clarets have racked up 11 wins out of their 21 league games and lost only three of those – posing the question whether the previously ever-present winger has a place in Dyche's starting XI.
Since Wallace arrived from Preston North End in 2010, the 28 year-old has scored just 11 goals in 123 appearances for the Clarets. While he may be only be a midfielder, for someone described by Brian Laws as "one of the best left-sided players in the Championship" that isn't the best record in the world, but then, that WAS Brian Laws…
Anyway, for someone clearly not known for their goals (though I vividly remember a screaming free-kick against Blackpool), the one thing Wallace does provide is a decent ball into the box, and a handful of assists. Claiming two in the famous 4-3 derby victory over Preston and five in his first season (remember this was hardly the great season we're having at the moment) it's clear to see what Wallace brings to the team.
However, it is a well known fact among Burnley fans that Ross Wallace's right foot seems to have gone walkabout. This could be a potential banana skin in the way of Wallace's return, as Dyche cannot afford to allow a semi-fit player hold up his now famous "balance" of the team, especially if the attacking flow will be constantly halted by Wallace cutting back on to his left peg.
What Wallace will bring to the squad is clear – decent crosses, a few assists (if he gets into form, him and Sam Vokes could make something great) and most importantly – ANOTHER FIT PLAYER. While the flanks aren't exactly our weakest points – Michael Kightly, Keith Treacy, Scott Arfield, Kieran Trippier (well come on, he basically is) and Junior Stanislas are all options, Wallace's return could be key to our team's formation.
It's clear we need another striker, but Ross' return could allow players like Stanislas and Treacy to play a more central role, in "the hole" I believe they call it, and while our beloved Keef is hardly Mesut Ozil, it could be a new lease of life for a player who doesn't seem to enjoy running. It could also allow Arfield to move into central midfield, allowing Jones and Marney to have an extra playmate when we need to pack the midfield against stronger teams.
It would be stupid to say Wallace's return is anything but a plus for Sean Dyche, given the size of the squad, however it remains to be seen whether Wallace is still good enough to get into the gaffer's promotion pushing side.
Will Wallace get back in the side? Comment below.

Re: Fire cam
Let's take a quick look at Cam through the years. I'm not usually a big stats guy because it doesn't tell the whole story.
I gathered some notes of Cam in the lat 10-11 years... For Passing TD's average was 22-25 and never over 28...
2002 SD: O Rank 16th (yds) 20th (PT's); Passing 3188; Rushing 2137, 19 (TD's)
2003 SD: O Rank 14th (yds) 16th (PT's); Passing 3021; Rushing 2146, 16 (TD's)
2004 SD: O Rank 10th (yds) 3rd (PT's); Passing 3357; Rushing 2185, 24 (TD's)
2005 SD: O Rank 10th (yds) 5th (PT's); Passing 3495; Rushing 2072, 22 (TD's)
2006 SD: O Rank 4th (yds) 1st (PT's); Passing 3262; Rushing 2578, 32 (TD's)
2007 Miami HC who really cares 1-15 ( Beat us though)
2008 BR: O Rank 18th (yds) 11th (PT's); Passing 2808; Rushing 2376, 16 (TD's)
2009 BR: O Rank 9th (yds) 13th (PT's); Passing 3419; Rushing 2200 22 (TD's)
2010 BR: O Rank 16th (yds) 22nd (PT's); Passing 3335; Rushing 1831 11 (TD's)
2011 BR: O Rank 12th (yds) 15th (PT's); Passing 3423; Rushing 1996 15 (TD's)
So looking at the above stats, Cam is consistently mediocre with a few good years that were because of the run and good defense under Wade Phillips. When averaging over 2000 (yds) and 22 TD's rushing in a season his Offenses seem to be decent, but who wouldn't benefit from LT in his prime, it is easy to run the ball with a Hall of Fame RB humping the rock with a sledge hammer leading the way (Lorenzo Neal).
His offenses never seem to pass for over 3500 (yds) or 25 (TD's), which is plenty if you are rushing for over 2000 and 25 TD's. Either way you can go up and down the field all day, but if you can't get into the endzone or maintain some momentum than it effects the entire game, constant 3 and outs will not get you a W.

Re: Fire cam
I'm reading the same bullsh*t I heard a year ago after the Seattle game Ray (5-27) and Ricky Williams (3-8). Of course David Reed had 1 for 16yds and Torrey also had 1 for 16yds. When he doesn't know what to do with the running game, he calls an end around and did 2 of them in that game.
I heard it last year, I'm hearing it again this year, and we will hear it next year if Malcolm stays.
He is good at what he does, he is terrible at in game adjusting, and he admits fault when the firing squad appears with a blindfold. I'm tired, I'm very tired moving toward camapathy which is surprisingly similar to angelosapathy.To understand paranoid people better, follow them around.
Re: Fire cam
Long as the Steeler's or Patriot's don't win it all, I can find comfort in that. Hell I wouldn't mind seeing Peyton taking on Eli in the Super Bowl and winning another ring.

Re: Fire cam
Re: Fire cam
Wow, First i gotta say, "I FREAKING LOVE THIS BOARD". RESPECT FELLOW RAVENS FANS!!
My thoughts, first i hate living in shitsburgh after a lost. I was shocked that, Flacco was off, Rice didn't get 90 yds, and we didn't use the middle, which shoudn't be a shock, cause we don't use it anyway. But man, did everything just let me down. Coaching,crowd,Flacco, gameplan both sides. It was a bad feeling for me, worst then the Hou beating. At home, i aleast thought we would play to blow them out. As players stated, we should've had way more points. But better routes as all here have showed would making more points easier. Sure if we do catch all those 9 routes we will get the pts, but that's tough to do in today's NFL.
Now i never really bash cam, but being HERE, opened my eyes to this issue. I'm tired of seeing the same shit. And i agreed with the majority here, we should've dropped cam 2 or last yr ago. IMO, i think Steve B really did'nt want cam back and defended his # at the press conference start of yr. I still have hope we win the superbowl, somehow. Yes i'm stoned but not dumb, we have communications and executions problems. But i hope, lol.
I think cam will be gone no matter if we win the superbowl or not. Steve B or Flacco will push that issue. They i think will need to see Joe in a more today's offense. That Miller streak, cause they showing screen play is what today's nfl do..I would'nt mind Cadwell but i would rather have a young gun calling plays. No turner for me either.
Hope we can win the beltway battle. purple pride, i bleed purple Go RAVENS

Click the links below to find more information:
Prior to the beginning of the academic term, tuition, fees and applicable insurance charges are charged to the student's account. Billing statements are e-mailed to the student's UMMC email account. The statement will specify the payment deadline for the term. Students are expected to check their campus e-mail account regularly. Late fees are assessed to accounts not paid by the payment deadline. The late fee is $100 effective January 2014. Note to students whose accounts are to be paid partially or in full with some sort of financial assistance (scholarships, loans or grants): If the financial assistance is not going to be ready at the time the account payment is due, it is recommended that the account be paid with private funds to avoid late charges. When the assistance comes in, it will be refunded to the student. Account questions regarding posted charges may be addressed to the Student Accounting Office. Please note that due to privacy considerations, questions will only be answered over the telephone if the student is already logged into the student portal and is asking about specific account entries.
Students may pay online via the student portal ( https://myu.umc.edu/irj/portal) with a credit card or directly from their bank account. Payment by check or money order can also be mailed to: UMMC-STUDENT ACCOUNTING, 2500 N. STATE ST., JACKSON, MS, 39216-4505. Payment can be made in person in the Student Accounting Office located in the Learning Resource Center. Payments, including online payments, that are returned due to nonsufficient funds (NSF) will be charged a $30 NSF fee. Payment of tuition and fees is the responsibility of the student. Students who choose to pay their account with financial assistance should be aware that the billing cycle and payment deadlines still apply and should take care to promptly respond to all communication from the Financial Aid Office to facilitate timely posting of their scholarship, grant or loan funds. Late fees may be applied to any account not paid by the payment deadline. Accounts that are not paid on time will be placed on hold. Students may experience interruptions in various university services due to the account hold such as grades, transcripts, future class registrations and graduation regalia. Accounts must be brought current for the hold to be removed. If an immediate release of the hold is desired, the payment must be in cash, otherwise the account will remain on hold until checks clear or electronic payments have been collected. Should the account become delinquent, it will be placed with an outside collection agency and reported to the credit bureaus. Students are responsible for any fees incurred by the university in collecting the account. Collection costs can be up to 40% of the balance due, payable in addition to the original balance.
Financial aid payments to students
The University of Mississippi Medical Center recommends all students who expect to receive financial assistance to sign up for direct deposit into a checking account of their choice. To sign up for direct deposit, go to https://myu.umc.edu/irj/portal. Once logged in, go to the main menu and click on "Update Bank Information." Students who choose not to sign up for direct deposit will receive their financial aid refund via a paper check. Refunds of excess financial aid are processed daily.

All joking aside, it does seem to be a flaky itself at the moment!
Looks good though, probably not ready to scale up yet.

@Paul & ChrisS
This is a bit ironic.
On the other hand, I've been using the service for a while and they are good and getting better (not perfect yet).
I can reach them now.

Yeah…kinda crazy that a site monitoring site is down. How wacky! But this sounds like a good potential option for new small businesses. (Hopefully the "system" is separate from their own website.)

May be we need another monitoring site to watch them too . Normally I think they are ok.
But, you set the service and generally never go back to their website (if not checking the statistics) as you get the notification e-mails. So, I hope they are ok

Thank for the good post
Because of huge load mon.itor.us web part can be down, but at the same time the main part of it – that is notification mechanism is functioning and sending alerts and recoveries.
So that means even if web part of application is experiencing some problems the user will not be affected by that.
Moreover there is no loss of any data during that period so when everything is up, users can see all the results without any interruptions.
We're always working to improve the performance and decrease downtime as much as possible for web part.
Sorry for inconvenience
Umut M. June 13th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I've been a user since you launched and I think you're doing a very good job and getting better everyday.
And, thanks for the info.

Onalaska needs the cash for a major addition and remodeling at Northern Hills Elementary and a gym addition and remodeling at Irving Pertzsch Elementary. Superintendent Fran Finco says the bottom line to obtaining the funds?
All four referendums have passed their school boards and will be seen on either February or April ballots.

Final Results – @FFMagicMan Experts' Freeroll
If you've followed my blog all season, you know that at the beginning of 2012 I hosted a fantasy football freeroll contest which featured 16 teams – 15 fantasy football analysts and one contestent drawn at random from my Twitter followers. At stake was a $50 prize, and the results are in!
The league was a best-ball style, which means that we drafted our respective teams and then there were no more moves. It is a style which relies on a solid draft and a lot of luck, since you can't replace injured players and/or improve your team throughout the year. My last update was after eight weeks, and at that time Mike Clay from Pro Football Focus was in the lead, followed by Allie Fontana and the Ricks from Asylum Football.
Just as in the real NFL (Chicago Bears anyone?), things can change quickly and while Mike Clay held on to third place overall, the other two mid-season leaders were overtaken by some teams that finished the season strong. Without further delay, here are the final standings for this inaugural season:
16. Ryan Fowler – FOX Sports – 1788.65
15. Jim Day – fantasytaz.com – 1852.65
14. Micah James – ffmagicman.com – 1916.75
13. Kevin O'Keefe – our fan entry! – 2037.50
12. Chet Gresham – thefakefootball.com – 2056.75
11. Shane Hallam – Draft Countdown – 2098.30
10. Jeff Haseley – Football Guys – 2134.95
9. Jarrett Behar – Dynasty League Football – 2144.95
8. Ryan McDowell – Dynasty League Football – 2150.15
7. John Beckler – Pro Football Addicts – 2152.35
6. Allie Fontana – 2152.65
5. Rick Fleeger and Rick Briggs – Fantasy Asylum.com – 2181.75
4. Bob Harris – Football Diehards – 2223.10
3. Mike Clay – Pro Football Focus – 2261.05
2. Alex Miglio – Pro Football Focus – 2264.35
1. Joshua Kay – The Fantasy Fix – 2361.50
Congratulations Josh! His team was led by 2nd-round pick Brandon Marshall and 5th-round steal Reggie Wayne, as well as a nice finishing charge by Seahawks' QB Russell Wilson (Josh's 11th-round choice).
Looking forward to a new contest next year…keep posted here and on my Twitter feed for your chance to participate!
