The online world has become a dangerous place. According to a survey, 90 percent of all companies fell victim to a security breach in the last twelve months. Hacking and advanced persistent threats (APTs) have rendered the two-factor authentication token, now over 20 years old, essentially obsolete. Without question, a real need exists for a truly secure approach to real-time multifactor authentication to combat today's modern threats.
Remote Access Spikes Security Risk
The use of online services has exploded in the last decade as enterprises have adopted remote access as the default way to access systems and conduct business. With the pervasive use of online access to conduct business, the threat of identity theft has increased with stunning speed and complexity. Ponemon Research surveyed more than 500 corporations and found that 90 percent had been successfully hacked in the last twelve months. This finding underscores the need for major enterprises to adopt stringent, effective security methods as a means to protect against breaches. As a result, modern mobile phone-based multifactor authentication is in high demand.
Advances in Hacking
In the same way that the remote access industry has evolved, so have threats and their complexity. In the early days of online services, usernames and passwords were typically the only form of authentication. To defeat them, hackers used "brute force" attacks to guess the username or password, or "dictionary attacks" to assume a user's identity. In a dictionary attack, a computer or a hacker attempts various combinations of potential passwords until access is granted.
Systems eventually evolved to block these attempts by locking the account down after a few faulty attempts, leading hackers to develop new techniques like key loggers. Today, the most widely used attacks are pharming, phishing or a combination of the two. These terms describe methods by which users are led to a counterfeit website that looks just like the original. This tricks the user into entering his or her username and password. Some of the more advanced attacks send stolen information to the hackers in real time via a small instant message program, compromising many popular two-factor authentication tokens. As an example, Zeus malware captures a user's credentials - even advanced time-based token codes - and sends the information to the hacker.
As if that weren't enough, newer and more sophisticated methods of intercepting user interactions with online services have emerged in recent years, including man-in-the-browser, man-in-the-middle and session hijacking. Even the most secure traditional two-factor authentication token devices can no longer secure a user's identity against these new, more insidious threats. Yet many organizations are unaware that traditional tokens can be compromised, posing a significant security risk.
Many Security Technologies Fall Short
Today's ever-changing threat environment creates a never-ending battle wherein organizations must constantly evaluate the right level of investment in security. Often, the best possible protection is not financially feasible for many organizations, and thus a trade-off has to be made. To protect against identity theft schemes within budgetary constraints, organizations have sampled different technologies, including certificates, biometric scanning, identity cards and hard- and software tokens, with the latter being the most dominate technology. Certificates are often viewed as the ideal way to connect two devices with a secure, identifiable connection. The main issue is the deployment and administration of these certificates and the risks that these are copied without the user knowing it. Furthermore, the certificate authority might be compromised as well.
Biometric scanning has also enjoyed some success, often seen as a very secure alternative. However, the assumption that you always have a functioning finger or iris scanner handy has proven impractical, and the resulting scan produces a digital file that can itself be compromised. Another alternative is the identity card, which often proves impractical in a world of Bring Your Own Device ("BYOD"), where users demand access from an ever-changing variety of devices. Therefore, a new approach is needed.
A Mobile Approach to Security
Many organizations have begun using multi-factor authentication based on mobile networks to address today's modern threats while meeting a user's need for easier and more flexible solutions.
Two elements drive the adoption of the new crop of multi-factor authentication: one, the need to deliver hardened security that anticipates novel threats; and two, the need to deploy this level of security easily and at a low cost. The device used in the authentication process also needs to be connected to the network in real time and be unique to the user in question.
If the authentication engine sends a regular token via SMS, however, today's malware threats can steal the code easily. Therefore, organizations must seek strategies that operate efficiently in a message-based environment to successfully defend against modern threats. Key elements can include:
- One-time password: To get the highest possible level of security, the one-time password (OTP) must both be generated in real time and be specific (locked) to the particular session, as opposed to tokens that use seed files where the passcodes are stored.
- Minimal complexity: To minimize infrastructure complexity, the solution should plug into different login scenarios, such as Citrix, VMware, Cisco, Microsoft, SSL VPNs, IPsec VPNs and web logins. Other ways to minimize infrastructure overload include providing these logins in an integrated, session-based architecture.
- Multiple defenses: To support real-time code delivery, the organization needs robust and redundant server-side architecture along with multiple delivery mechanism support, regardless of geographic location.
- Easy management: The solution should be able to be managed easily within the existing user management infrastructure.
- Context-specific: To maximize security, the company should leverage contextual information - such as geo-location and behavior patterns - to effectively authenticate the user.
The Security Horizon
The modern convenience of online services has brought with it the modern scourge of identity theft. Methods of identity theft have outpaced popular security measures, necessitating a new standard in data defense: session- and location-specific multi-factor authentication. This kind of real-time solution, delivered to a user's mobile phone, can provide the security organizations must have if they hope to protect their employees, users and data from modern online threats.

Doesn't eBay have a policy that if an item hasn't shipped within 30 days that you can ask for a refund?
Maybe, but if that's the case he'll just mark it shipped at 29 days, then your protection will expire before it 'gets there.'
I don't know if Paypal has safeguards for this brand of scheme, but my guess is that's what this guy is planning at least.

Client Flattery Is Good For The Soul
I recently had to step in as the lead ColdFusion programmer on a project while my co-worker was on vacation. Apparently, I did a good job as this was what was sent to my boss:
"Ben has been such a tremendous help in Martin's absence. Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate his professionalism and prompt attention to the post-launch issues with which we are dealing right now. He had some big shoes to fill but he is doing an admirable job! So thanks! You might want to give him hazard pay .. We are a rough bunch!"
Client-appreciation is enough to make it all worth while... but the "hazard pay" certainly wouldn't hurt ;)

Jurrah set for AFL return this weekend
Demons forward Liam Jurrah has been picked for Saturday's match with Sydney on the same day as additional charges were laid against him over an alleged attack in Alice Springs

Liam Jurrah has been picked by Melbourne for Saturday's match with Sydney at the SCG.
This will be the forward's first game of the season for the Demons after coming into the season with a wrist injury.
The news comes on the same day as Jurrah had four more charges levelled at him following an alleged attack in Alice Springs.
Jurrah appeared on a video link from Melbourne as the prosecutors laid out their extra charges.
Four more charges have been laid against AFL star Liam Jurrah who was already facing charges of causing serious harm and being armed with an offensive weapon in an alleged melee.
The charges relate to an alleged machete attack on a man at Little Sisters town camp in Alice Springs in March.
In an Alice Springs court yesterday, the prosecution added four charges of aggravated assault to the case against Jurrah.
Jurrah, 23, appeared before the court via a video link from Melbourne.
Magistrate John Birch has set July 23 as a date for the committal hearing, at which time Jurrah will have to appear before the court in person.
Defence lawyer John McBride applied for a variation of bail conditions so Jurrah can play for Melbourne in a match against Port Adelaide in Darwin on July 21.
After earlier saying he did not usually vary bail conditions for personal matters, Mr Birch later approved the application.
The magistrate ordered Jurrah to travel to Alice Springs immediately after the match for the committal hearing.
Jurrah hails from Yuendumu, 260 kilometres north west of Alice Springs.
People from Jurrah's Warlpiri group have been involved in a bitter and sometimes bloody feud between two families that has divided the community.

Maybeh if I dream about milk rivers and catnip forests, this will GO AWAY!
[Collective Ahnnn! sounds acros the world]
People, a video this redonkulous comes across our Cute Overload desks once in a blue moon. It's.. well, it's so bad it's good. Never mind the translation, you'll get it.
Without further ado, Toby and Sheila…
You can pull my dead beak off and drag me around any time, Lee Anne.
First, let's get one thing straight. Pets hate costumes.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU THINK YOUR DOG LOVES IT when you strap a Cowboy Barbie on his back, or YOUR KITTEH APPEARS TO ENJOY WEARING A PRINCESS TIARA. Someone needs to tell you, and it might as well be Cute Overload. Your pet pretty much hates it.
When we dress our pets up, it's for our own selfish enjoyment. So you might as well DO A STELLAR JOB, because your pet only benefits from a costume if that costume generates gobs of attention.
You owe your pet a damn good costume. Which brings me to the point. A LOT of you are SLACKING and/or CONFUSED out there. Think of the ANIMALS. Let me show you what's what. [Beckoning motion] First we have:
1. The Famous Human Costume
The Good: You always have to explain it. "He has a mini mohawk! He's Mr. T., SEE!?"
The Bad: Your pet still hates you if you don't step it up to make it recognizable
Exhibit A: Mr. T:
And a well-crafted Martha:
2. The Cutesy Hurl-a-Thon
The Good: You'll get a lot of "Awn, he looks adorable!" from other insane people
The Bad: Anne Geddes will come after you with enormous hedge clippers
Behold Bunny in a Lettuce Cup:
3. The Non Sequitur Costume
The Good: Often very well-crafted. Drugs and/or heavy wine use is almost always associated with each costume idea.
The Bad: Lots of WTF?…OK! reactions.
The "BoomBox":
The "Mix Tape":
The "Buttered Pupcorn":
The "Rice Krispy Treat":
The "Ham":
The "Metro Line"!?!?!?!
The Good: You finally clean up the house
The Bad: Your cat continues to hate you
There's the Boxed Wine Kitteh Leaf Thing:
And Aluminum Foil/Rubber Band Turtle 'Jaws';
5. The "My-pet-is-going-to-kill me-but-I'm-doing-it-anyway" Costume
The Good: Target Dog Costume Sales reach all-time high thanks to you
The Bad: Your pet kills you.
Nah, don't take the tag off. What's the point?
5. Build on Your Strengths Costume
The Good: A costume that takes advantage of and accentuates a particular pet attribute
The Bad: Your pet's "attribute" is on display (the fact he looks like a pimp cannot be helpful)
Behold the Golden Retriever Lion:
The Built-in Ewok Face:
The Fish in a Bowl that Happens to look like a Jack-o-Lantern:
The Cow-Spotted terrier:
The Suave Hedge:
The Built-in Wetsuit:
And the Dog that Happens to Look like a Pimp:
6. The Epic Transformation Costume
The Good: The pinnacle of a great costume—creative! imaginative! inspiring! Transforming!
The Bad: Everyone else instantly feels like crap when they see your genius
The Jumbo Dachshund Dog:
The Wizard of Oz:
The Croc Versus Pup: (more photos here)
The Fast Food Gang [Making gang doughnut symbol with hand]:
The Thanksgiving Turkey Decision: (That thought bubble is actually part of the costume):
And, our current favorite, the Headless Horseman:
7. The Just Plain Wrong Costume
Don't worry if costume types 1 through 6 don't encourage you. There is always type 7; just plain wrong. When in doubt, you can always create fake cleavage for your Boxer.
Huge thanks to all Sender-Inners over at the Martha Stewart/CuteOverload Costume Contest. Keep those submissions coming!

WATER!!!!!! NOOO!!! I don't wanna go in the water!!! Water is EVIL!!! It's full of monsters with sucky tentacles, and giant fish with big bitey teeth, and they all go to the bathroom in there!!!
Are you trying to KILL ME?! If this is about the stain on the carpet, it wasn't my fault! Can't you at least have the decency to tie me in a sack, you cold-hearted murderer?! I'll get you for this if it's the last thing I do!
Can't … breathe! … Caught … in … tentacle! … Pulling … me … down! … Must … escape … !
Humph! I'm never talking to either of you again, you … you … doggie killers, you! And from now on, I'll do whatever I want on the carpet, and you can fetch your own damn slippers!

Thankfully, the terrier's owner, decided to land a PONCHE or two on the attacking shark, breaking the terrier free, and both terrier and man and shark are living happily ever after as a result. Ahn.

People, I'm so sorry to tell you…
Our leetle friend "Rupert" the premature behbeh deerski has… passed away.
He was freshly borned 2-3 weeks early, and just couldn't handle life as we know it, though the folks at St. Tiggywinkles (I am not making up that name) Animal Rescue tried their hardest to keep the little Knobbular One alive.
Baroooooooooooo! [Crying sound]
I hope you're sitting down.
Because what you're about to see is staggering. And sad.
It's about a Kitteh—a desparate kitteh—who needs boxhab, so, so badly. [Shaking head] I hope you can stand to watch.
Paging Dr. Josh N. Come in, Dr. Josh N. STAT

Tuesday's Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce breakfast featured Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard (D-District 43) and Sen. Mary Kay Papen (D-District 38) reporting on the jobs package passed by this year's legislature.
The jobs package was the result of two years of effort by the Legislative Jobs Council, which was former House Speaker W. Ken Martinez' (D-District 69) answer to what Garcia Richard called "abysmal" job growth.
When Martinez formed the council in 2013, job growth was at just 1 percent.
The council, which is comprised of legislators from both sides of the aisle as well as representatives from the Chamber of Commerce, small business owners and labor, has received strong backing from Gov. Susana Martinez and the new Republican leadership in the House.
All Jobs Council recommendations require unanimous approval.
"The list for last legislative session came out of two years' work by jobs council and unanimous agreement," Garcia Richard said. "So that was pretty phenomenal, because you had labor and business at the same table, agreeing on the same recommendations."
The initiatives proposed by the council and approved by the legislature include:
Almost half of the adults in New Mexico can't read.
According to the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy, 46 percent of New Mexico adults are functionally illiterate. Of those, 20 percent have literacy skills at the lowest level, meaning, for example, they would have difficulty extracting simple information from a news article. Another 26 percent are at the second level, where their skills are a little higher, but not enough to get a job that requires reading.
That's simply awful.
It may be some consolation that New Mexico is not alone in having a massive illiteracy problem. According to the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies, the entire country is falling behind the rest of the industrialized world and now ranks about 17th in literacy.
But none of this is good news, and, as usual, New Mexico is a little worse than most other states.
A unique perspective on the issue comes from New Mexico's most famous literacy activist, poet Jimmy Santiago Baca, who spoke recently to the literacy coalition's annual meeting. Literacy isn't just about reading, he said. "Literacy is about human beings being able to express their emotions to the people they love."
MONTREAL (AP) — Carli Lloyd remembers putting the ball on its spot and shutting out the noise of more than 51,000 anxious fans.
Then she blasted that ball into the back of the net.
Lloyd's penalty kick got the United States on the board, and the Americans went on to a 2-0 victory over top-ranked Germany in the semifinals of the Women's World Cup on Tuesday night.
Lloyd's penalty kick in the 69th minute went into the right side of the goal less than 10 minutes after Celia Sasic shot wide on a penalty kick for Germany.
Kelley O'Hara came in off the bench and scored in the 85th minute, delighting the pro-American crowd.
Hope Solo posted her fifth straight shutout, continuing a dominant run for the American defense.
The United States also had several good scoring chances from the start.
Julie Johnston missed on a header off a corner kick from Megan Rapinoe, and Alex Morgan's breakaway in the 15th minute was stopped by goaltender Nadine Angerer.
The U.S. will play the winner of No. 4 Japan, the defending champion, and No. 6 England in the final on Sunday.
It was a hot and dry evening for Tuesday's Pace Race, but 52 runners came out to try the courses in the Bayo and Rendija Canyons.
Joan Williams was the best predictor of the night.
She was only 9 seconds off her prediction on the figure-eight course through the canyons.
On the one-mile course, there was a tie between Erik Leonard and Jason Pieck.
They were both 18 seconds off their predictions.
Ted Romero was the best male predictor on the three-mile course. He was 29 seconds off.
Leading the predictions for the women were Sophia Pieck on the one-mile course and Laura Woodroffe on the three-mile course.
Next Tuesday's Pace Race will start at 6 p.m. at the Ponderosa Campground, which is just south of the N.M. 501 and N.M. 4 junction.
One and three mile courses will be available.

The Los Alamos Blaze battled 100-degree temperatures and tough competition at the Rio Rancho Chile Classic, June 19-21.
Playing nine games in three days, the Blaze pulled out six wins to finish third in the 14-and-under USSSA fast pitch softball tournament.
The Albuquerque Isotopes (34-45) pounded out 21 hits, including nine extra-base knocks, in a 16-5 series-opening win against the Reno Aces (37-42) Tuesday night at Isotopes Park. Angelys Nina picked up four hits, including three doubles, and Matt McBride continued his solid work with two doubles, a homer and five RBI.
Two of Reno's first three batters of the game scored, but it would be the only time the Aces held a lead all night.
McBride doubled in a pair of runs in the home half of the first to tie it before a second-inning Cristhian Adames double gave Albuquerque a 4-2 lead. The Isotopes added four more runs in the third behind another pair of doubles from McBride and Adames. Albuquerque put the game away in the fifth when the 'Topes rattled off seven straight hits to begin the inning, highlighted by home runs from Roger Bernadina and McBride. The Aces picked up a run in the seventh and two in the ninth to slightly cut into the deficit.
The Isotopes and Aces will play game two of their four-game series Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. Right-hander Jair Jurrjens (1-1, 3.81 ERA) is scheduled to take the hill for Albuquerque, while Reno is slated to go with former Colorado Rockies farmhand, right-hander Jhoulys Chacin (1-1, 1.76 ERA).

POJOAQUE PUEBLO (AP) — The top federal prosecutor in New Mexico said Tuesday he will allow Pojoaque Pueblo's two casinos to remain open pending the outcome of a federal court case.
Uncertainty has been swirling because the tribe's gambling compact with the state was set to expire at midnight Tuesday. Under federal law, tribes must have compacts in place if they want to operate casinos.
Four tribes have signed new agreements with Gov. Susana Martinez's administration, but Pojoaque remained embroiled in a dispute with the state and the case is pending before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
The tribe has alleged the governor's administration hadn't negotiated in good faith after compact negotiations broke down and wanted the U.S. Interior Department to approve a compact.
The state sued, and now the federal agency and pueblo are appealing a lower court's ruling in favor of the state.
"I believe that the public interest is best served by maintaining the status quo while the appeal in the 10th Circuit litigation is pending," U.S. Attorney Damon Martinez said in a statement issued late Tuesday afternoon.
CIMARRON (AP) — Authorities on Monday released the name of a Boy Scout who died after being swept away by a flash flood during a camping trip with his troop in northern New Mexico.
New Mexico State Police said 13-year-old Alden Brock of Sacramento, California, was one of eight Boy Scouts participating in a 12-day trek at the Philmont Scout Ranch when the flooding hit before dawn Saturday.
Floodwaters came through North Ponil Canyon around 4:30 a.m., State Police spokesman Chad Pierce said. The group was camping about 20 feet upslope from a small creek, but the water over-ran the campsite, taking four boys down the canyon.
The creek is normally two to three feet wide and less than a foot deep. That morning, at least two inches of rain fell in a short amount of time, and the surge of water that swept through the canyon was at least 20 feet high and as wide as a football field, authorities said.
Ranch employees immediately responded and were able to find three of the boys.
State Police were called around 9:30 a.m., and a search and rescue team found Brock about an hour-and-a-half later. His body was recovered roughly a mile from where he was swept away.
The Unitarian Church of Los Alamos will celebrate the groundbreaking on its new building at 6:30 p.m. today.
A short ceremony will be led by the Rev. John Cullinan at the new building site, 1738 North Sage St., and all are welcomed to attend.
Unitarian Church officials asked attendees to carpool if possible, as limited parking will be available in the Mason Lodge lot next door and to wear close-toed shoes.
All ages are welcome, they said, but parents are advised to keep children close on the active construction site.
According to the church, the congregation has been actively working toward building a new facility since 2008.
Architects Mullen-Heller were contracted to design the new church and are overseeing the project with Hart Construction.
The building is scheduled for completion in April 2016.
While the new building is under construction, the congregation is housed at the TRK building at 195 East Road, Suite 101. Sunday services are held at 10:30 a.m. and are open to anyone wishing to attend.

NEWPORT CITY - Lt. Gov. Phil Scott spoke to the Newport Rotary Club at the Gateway Center Tuesday, which was the club's annual veterans' recognition luncheon.
"We should really treat every day like Veterans' Day," said Scott. "The one or two days we officially recognize them is certainly not enough."

DERBY – A local business is making sure permits are in hand for big development if the other area expansion plans take shape. Bill Stenger and his partners are working on a plan for massive development in the area that includes a hotel and conference center, a biotechnology facility, and manufacturing at the airport. Walmart has also announced its plan to build in Derby. Once these projects come to fruition the demand for housing will increase. Gosselin Enterprises is getting ready to wait.
NEWPORT CITY- North Country Career Center recently hosted an event in which students were presented with ideas of what women can do in non-traditional careers. Career Center Director Eileen Illuzzi advised the school board Tuesday that a presentation was made to show women non-traditional occupations through workshops and presentations.
"It's intended to show the possibilities that can be available to them," Illuzzi stated.
NEWPORT CITY - The North Country Union High School Board is reviewing the supervisory union's policy on weapons brought to the school. The board must comply with the federal Gun Free Schools Act of 1994, as well as state law. The board is concerned with protecting the health and safety of the students and staff. The board considers the possession and use of any dangerous weapon, or facsimile (hoax devise) on school ground to be prohibited. The policy doesn't apply to law enforcement officers.
NEWPORT CITY - Sharing his real life experiences is one of the ways Michael Nerney, a training consultant for chemical dependency and related issues from Long Lake, NY, encourages parents to talk to their children about making positive choices.
Nerney, through his organization Michael Nerney and Associates, provides training for professionals, parents, and community members. He also works with middle school and high school students throughout the country.
NEWPORT CITY - For years, equitable and fair water and sewer rates have been a topic of discussion among Newport City residents, business owners, and the city council.
Council members who attended their meeting Monday evening voted unanimously to increase water rates by 3.3 percent. The water rates become affective Feb. 1. In dollars and cents, the increase is about a $1.70 per quarter. Sewer rates will remain the same as they are now.
NEWPORT CITY - The Newport City Council is considering upgrading the municipal building.
City Manager John Ward, Jr. told the council Monday evening that he and Newport Police Chief Seth DiSanto have been talking with local architect Mark Stewart. Ward said the "holding pen" on the lower level of the municipal building is an invitation for problems for the city, because it doesn't meet current standards.
CANAAN - By late winter, residents in the Canaan area, one of the most rural areas of the state, will have a medical clinic in their community.
Indian Stream Health Center in Colebrook, NH, plans to open a satellite medical office at Canaan's Northeast Kingdom Community Action (NEKCA) building as soon as March 2014. Indian Stream Health Center obtained a federal grant of $456,793 from Sen. Bernie Sanders to open the clinic.
"This is great," said Joe Patrissi, NEKCA executive director of the partnership between the two entities. "It means low-income people will have access to health care."
ALBANY – It is against Vermont state law to cut more than 40 acres of trees without receiving approval from the state, and it is also against Vermont law to disrupt water flow or allow debris to enter steams within the state without a permit. The state has been working with an Orleans man for years over issues with his logging practices in Albany. Finally the state has a preliminary injunction to help force the man to comply with the laws.

The 49ers are showing they will not give up!ô I thought after they let Dallas get away with a win, we were just waiting for Andrew Luck to arrive.ô I guess we are out of the Andrew Luck conversation.ô The Niners have shown the rest of the NFL we are not going to lay down and wait for next year!
For the last two weeks, the 49ers pass rush has been crushing offenses.ô They are making up for the poor play of the secondary.ô The offense has been running the ball well to set up the pass.ô I am happy Vernon Davis is back in the mix, but they need a wide receiver to step up and help out Alex Smith.ô Overall, you cannot be disappointed with a 3-1 start for the NFC West division leading 49ers.
no comments
I know Harbaugh is getting most of the credit for the great play of the Niners.ô I think people are missing the impact of first year GM Trent Baalke.ô He has given Harbaugh the personnel to put a winning team on the field.ô My hat is off to Harbaugh and Baalke!
The 49ers did an excellent job of losing a 10 point lead and allow the Cowboys to score 13 unanswered points to end the game!ô Coach Harbaugh did the right thing by taking the points instead of taking the penalty with a 10 point lead.ô The Defensive Secondary did a horrible job of stopping the Cowboys!ô If the 49ers do not address their Secondary issues, this could be a long season.ô And I am not talking about additional games in the playoffs.
Here is what I think the 49ers need to focus on: Secondary, Offensive Line, and getting Vernon Davis more involved in the offense.ô If you can improve those 3 things, we have a good, if not great team!ô If we could have stopped the pass, we would have taken the Cowboys out of the playoffs (only 11.6 percent of teams that have started a 16-game NFL season 0-2 have made the playoffs).ô I want nothing more than to knock the Cowboys out of the playoffs this year.
There were a few highlights in the game, but nothing to get too excited about after allow 13 unanswered points in the 4th quarter and overtime.ô What did you take away from the Niners week two performance?
Really?ô Ted Ginn Jr saved the day?!!ô I was traveling yesterday and had a chance to catch the game in Reno.ô The Niners did a great job of controlling the clock in the first half.ô In the third quarter, Harbaugh started to get conservative and not throwing the ball down the field to stretch the defense.ô The offense did a good job of not turning over the ball.ô Frank Gore looked like he was afraid to get hurt.ô The defense played great, but gave up a couple of easy touchdowns toward the end.ô The Niners need to workout some issues with their secondary.ô If the defensive lines keeps playing at this level, we might be looking at the NFC West champions.
Last week, the 49ers restructured Ted Ginn Jr's contract.ô He took a 1.2 million dollar pay cut.ô Of course, with the new contract, he can earn it back based on his playing time, return yards, and touchdowns.ô Trent Baalke did it again!ô The incentives worked to product two late touchdowns to save the game.ô In my eyes, special teams was the hero of the game along.ô Andy Lee had another great day pinning the Seahawks back.ô David Akers was perfect...again.ô If the defense and special teams keep playing at this level, they might make up for the struggling offense.ô What was your highlight from the game?
On January 4th, the San Francisco 49ers hired Trent Baalke as General Manager.ô Reports were the hire might scare off Jim Harbaugh from wanting to be the next Head Coach of the San Francisco 49ers.ô Mr Baalke proved them wrong.ô He has been underestimated every step of the way.
I thought he was wise to pass on Aubrayo Franklin who made $7 million last year.ô The 49ers walked away from high priced Nate Clements.ô Another good move.ô They sign all their draft picks before training camps even starts.ô They went out and go some of the top UDFA's in NT Ian Williams and ex Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli as a RB. ô
Then the free agents start to come in.ô They sign K David Akers, S Madieu Williams, S Donte Whitner, and C Jonathan Goodwin.ô Adam Schefter wrote: 49ers committed $16 mil in 2011 to Akers, Rogers, Goodwin, Whitner, Edwards, Williams. Raiders committed $16 mil in 2011 to Michael Huff.ô Great job, Mr Baalke!
Yesterday, the Niners signed Braylon Edwards to a 1 year $3.5 million deal.ô 49ers deal for Braylon is $1M base with no guaranteed money.ô Braylon only gets full $3.5M is he catches 90 passes and makes the Pro Bowl.ô If Mr Baalke announced a class for negotiating tomorrow, I bet it would sell out in seconds!
What is your opinion on the job performance of Trent Baalke?
The 49ers are late bloomers this short off season.ô They acquired their Cornerback and Center by signing Carlos Rodgers from the Redskins and Jonathan Goodwin from the Saints this week.ô Goodwin is a great pick up from a Super Bowl winning team.ô Also, the Niners are reported to be shopping Taylor Mays.ô Report just in from Adam Shefter: Former Bills S Donte Whitner did NOT go to Cincinnati. He agreed to a 3-year, $11.75 million deal with $4 million guaranteed with the 49ers!ô Whitner was being courted by the Bengals.ô Maybe Taylor Mays will be a Bengal this year.
We just need our deep threat Wide Receiver in place.ô Reports are Braylon Edwards might sign a 1 year deal with the Niners.ô We just need our last piece which is a deep threat in my book.ô
What do you think the 49ers need in free agency?no comments
I am happy the 49ers did not reach or make a ridiculous offer to a free agent...but when are we going to sign a Cornerback?!!ô How about a Center, maybe?!ô They are sitting on $30 million in cap space.ô We are still negotiating with Goldson and Franklin.ô Report are the Niners are close to a deal with Franklin.ô Doldson and the team are far apart on terms.ô I would like to see both players back with the Niners.
The Niners really have to address the Cornerback and Center position before the season.ô They could also use another big play Wide Reciever.ô Harbaugh is wise to built through the draft.ô If we are going to make a dent in the NFC West, we need to be able to stop the pass.ô Something they were unable to accomplish last season.ô
Arinzona Cardinal have to spent over $39 millions this off season.ô Seahawks and Rams have made several moves to make their teams better.ô We cannot wait till next draft to deal with our needs for this season.no comments
I was excited to see the 49ers signed all 10 draft picks before Training Camp started.ô One of the good things which came out of the new Rookie Salary Cap.ô We are going to have less Rookie holdouts for ridiculous guaranteed money.ô Harbaugh is wise and building slowly through the draft.
Nate Clements, goodbye and good luck with your overpriced contract!ô Hello, David Akers!ô I think David will enjoy the weather in San Francisco over Philly.ô We are excited to have another great veteran kicker.ô I would like to thank Joe Nedney for his time with the Niners.ô We will miss our Bay Area native.

Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Jose Fernandez struck out a career-high 10 batters and Giancarlo Stanton went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI as the Miami Marlins held on for a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in the opener of a three-game set.
Fernandez (4-3) allowed three runs -- two earned -- on six hits and became the youngest pitcher with 10 strikeouts under the age of 21 since Seattle's Felix Hernandez accomplished the feat in 2007. The right-hander also drove in a run, while remaining unbeaten at home this season, improving to 2-0 over six starts.
Greg Dobbs and Jeff Mathis each drove in one run apiece for the Marlins, who have won four of six.
"My location was off in the first inning," Fernandez said. "Their lineup is pretty tough. I got lucky with that base hit, just trying to hit something out there."
St. Louis starter Jake Westbrook, who returned to the Cardinals' rotation after spending a month on the disabled list with right elbow inflammation, took the loss, allowing five runs -- three earned -- on eight hits over five frames.
Westbrook (2-2) had a 1.62 ERA through six starts prior to the injury, the best mark in the team's rotation and one of the best in the majors. Allen Craig, Jon Jay, Yadier Molina and David Freese drove in one run each in the setback, the second in three games for the Cards.
"I threw some good pitches and got some ground balls out there tonight," said Westbrook. "If I keep putting balls on the ground I'll be doing good more often than not and just let my guys play defense."
The Marlins broke a 2-2 tie in the fourth and fifth inning, thanks to two doubles off of Westbrook which eventually forced the righty out of the game.
In the fourth, Dobbs smacked a one-out RBI double to give the hosts a one-run advantage and in the fifth, Juan Pierre opened the action with a double. After Westbrook plunked Ed Lucas, Stanton scored both runners with a two-bagger to increase the lead to 5-2.
The Cardinals fought back in the late innings and cut the deficit to 5-4 on Jay's two-out, RBI double in the sixth and Freese's one-run double in the eighth. Miami, though, held off any attempts for a comeback as Steve Cishek retired the side in the ninth to secure his eighth save of the season.
St. Louis smacked around Fernandez in the first inning, plating two runs off of back-to-back RBI singles.
Matt Holliday reach first on Lucas' fielding error at third to put runners on first and second with one out. Craig scored Holliday with a hit to left, and Molina added the other run with a single to right to make it 2-0.
Miami struck for two runs in the second in similar fashion, as Derek Dietrich opened up the frame by reaching first on Carpenter's fielding error and Adeiny Hechavarria followed with a single. After Dobbs' groundout to the right side moved runners to second and third, Mathis smacked a chopper to second to make it 2-1. Fernandez helped his own cause with a single up the middle to tie the game.
Westbrook's last outing came on May 8 ... The Cardinals also optioned pitcher
Michael Wacha to Triple-A Memphis ... The Cardinals fell to 24-12 on the road

Former Heisman Trophy winners Matt Leinart, Eric Crouch and Rashaan Salaam are among 76 Football Bowl Subdivision players on the ballot for election into the 2016 class of the College Football Hall of Fame.
The regular season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has reached its midpoint, with 13 races completed and 13 to go before the championship Chase begins.
The Houston Texans have signed defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick, who played last season with the New Orleans Saints.
The Toronto Blue Jays activated catcher Dioner Navarro from the 15-day disabled list following a 2-0 loss to the Washington Nationals in the opener of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Sacramento Kings forward Carl Landry underwent surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn ligament in his right wrist, the team said.
The Montreal Canadiens revealed on Tuesday that defenseman Jeff Petry has agreed to terms on a six-year contract extension.
