I'm forking a new thread off of this one which had wondered thru many topicsI can understand wanting to go lighter than the rope that Philont provides (5/16" nylon, IIRC) and have no quibble with that.But the bags? ... They provide woven plastic bags with a weave reminiscent of burlap. They'd certainly be heavy by solo UL standards but they are not heavy for group use.If a crew has addressed the big three items, kitchen items and their personal gear choices they won't be able to notice the difference between Philmont bags and mythical zero gram bear bags in their pack.

Jim, I think you're right. Take care of the big stuff. The Philmont-issued bear bags won't matter for a group. The woven plastic bags aren't heavy. Even carrying two Philmont ropes wasn't a big deal for our crew either.
I would submit there is another reason to look at smaller, lightweight bags, something we did last year and will do again this year. The total empty weight of our 9 meal bags, 1 crew gear smellable bag and 6-12 personal bags is probably higher than 3 or 4 of the PhilFeedBags. The difference is we can instantly identify which meal we need, or where someones personal stuff might be. Not a big deal on paper, but when it comes to maximizing your time, being able to find the right meal, or your own smellables is a big time saver. Same for packing up. There isn't an oops bag anymore, everyone puts their stuff in their own (individually decorated) bags in the evening.Regards,Mike

I would agree on using the phil ones. They get drug thru the dirt, etc, and they are heavy duty, but not real heavy. You can save a lot of personal weight with your crew by making sure they have decent personal packs, bags, sleeping pads, right amount of clothes, etc. But the organizational point brought up is valid. We made sure to pack the bags by meal type before hanging, and the next breakfast was on top of the breakfast bag. We had full crew of 13, and 4 days food starting out, think we had 7 very full bags plus the oops bag, that was a lot to lift.
We used Amsteel blue rope. It is a weight savings but tough on the hands at times. We used Philmont issued bags and they were fine.What we didn't do is organize our bags effectively like some of you have. Basically, we just dumped everything upside down each day to sort things out. In hindsight I wish we had used one of the methods described above.Philmont bags aren't too heavy. They only Philmont items we took were the bags and sump kit.
We used the Philmont bear bags. I didn't have my digital scale with me, but they were very light. They definitely are not waterproof, or even water-resistant. We wished in hindsight that we had brought some light-weight sil-nylon dry bags.We used the 7/64" AmSteel Blue rope. Hard on the hands, until some Scouts found sticks to use to get a grip and pull the rope.
We are planning to use the Amsteel rope rope and plan to use Al Geist's tech where the rope is placed in a small stuff sack and tossed over the bear cable. We tried this and had some problem with the rope tangling as it comes out of the stuff sack. Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle/wrap/store this thin rope so as to avoid tangles?Thanks for the response below Al. We will try just stuffing the rope in the bag.

> Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle/wrap/store this thin rope so as to avoid tangles?Hi Richard, Try just stuffing the rope in the small stuff sack. I found that if the rope was rolled up and put in the sack it had more tendency to tangle for two technical reasons:1. rolling the rope up puts a twist in the rope that tries to untwist as the rope pulls out of the bag.2. rolling the rope creates many loops in the bag. When one loop pulls through another, instant knot.We had much better rope "reel out" from the bag when stuffed
> Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle/wrap/store this thin rope so as to avoid tangles?Learn the figure eight coil. That does not put a twist in the rope.For shorter ropes, learn the "over under coil", which also avoids putting twists in the line. I learned that as either the "RCA coil" or "CBS coil", I forget which.My backstage teacher was picky about how we coiled the microphone cables.Water rescue ropes are sometimes stuffed into a bag, so that might work, too.

> Anyone have any suggestions on how to handle/wrap/store this thin rope so as to avoid tangles?Stuffing the rope in a throw bag will work fine for thick braided nylon ropes (like a water rescue throw bag). I can see why you might have had trouble with tangles with thiner lines.The coil I use for thin stuff is to wrap in a figure 8 pattern around my pinky and thumb. You can see an example at 5:43 of this video. I complete the coil by wrapping tightly around the hank 5-6 times and then tucking the final 6" tail through one of the pinky/thumb holes and then under one of the hank wraps. Pull tight.YMMV.acronym 2/19/2010 3:01 PM
+1 Acronym, this work very well- I use it for my bear bag line exclusively.With a long line, it helps to have a larger spanned hand.
> The coil I use for thin stuff is to wrap in a figure 8 pattern around my pinky and thumb.This technique is OK for the thin cord shown in the video. It won't work with Amsteel Blue rope because of its larger diameter. Even a giant's hand would be too small.Just stuffing the rope in the stuff sack is faster and easier for your scouts to do at Philmont.
Al, I can do 50ft of 1/8 one my hand- not as fast as the video but it can be done.I wouldn't expect the scout to be able to do it.You cold also daisy chain the rope.
> Al, I can do 50ft of 1/8 one my handHi Tad, That's pretty good. But Philmont wants you to carry 150ftbear ropes, which is more than a handful!Why 150'? The Philmont bear bag method requires doubling the rope and tying to separate trees so the effective length is 75ft.
So I just put the google to work for me to get a better understanding of what we are talking about. I'm amazed. This Amsteel blue stuff is magic light and strong. Do you really need to be able to haul 600 kg up in a tree (~30 full packs...)?Idunno. Neat stuff tho.45 m of 2.5 mm rope sounds like it would be tough to deal with. Is it stiff like braided nylon?It's probably too big to palm hank it. I would try to get Al's method of bag stuffing to work. I suggest stuffing lengths a little shorter than the length of your stuff sack.Another option would be to treat it like a climbing rope:- butterfly coil- flake before use (the guy in the video calls it "stacking").I'm interested to know what solution you come up with.acronym 2/22/2010 2:06 AM
Just recently completed a Philmont trek and used the Amsteel Blue 7/64 inch line for the oops bag. Our crewmembers did not find the Amsteel Blue to be worth the effort. It was hard on the hands, slipped more readily, and tangled easily. Next trek we will definitely stick with the Philmont ropes. The weight savings was not worth the bother of having to untangle ropes in the dark.
Recently got back from a Philmont trek ... here's some data:Philmont issued bear bags - the weight of ours averaged 4.3 oz EACH (= re-used grain bags ... the average weight is for those that were not cut down because of the edges unraveling).Everyone in our crew brought their own food storage bag anyway so we used those for overnight storage on the bear-bag hangs and basically skipped using Philmont issued bags because they would have been redundant in terms of both weight & use ... plus, a benefit of this method is that it eliminated the morning "sorting out food" exercise - made for a quicker transition on getting breakfast and breaking camp). We did use one Philmont issued bag (the only one we brought) for an "Oops" bag to store our lunches, dinners and misc for easy access that day.Philmont issued bear ropes - the weight of the ones they issued to us averaged 1lb 8 oz EACH (dry).Amsteel Blue - same length as Philmont ropes - the weight of ours averaged 5 oz EACH (= which is equial significant weight savings from the Philmont issued ropes)Here is the outline of the techniques to avoid issues with use of this rope:1.) To pull up loads effectively - these lines needed stick "pull handles". To accomplish this, small sticks needed to be wrapped with the rope. (The sticks are easily found around Philmont's camps) 2.) To avoid tangle issues when storing these ropes, they need to be daisy-chained (knitted) which works well 3.) ... plus, for good LNT practice - use stand-off sticks to protect the tree trunks from the rope wrap)These techniques are easily done & mastered (with a little practice). The ropes are VERY durable while having the advantages of saving a lot of weight, they don't become water logged from the rain and it will rain and they save a lot space because they store much smaller than the Philmont issued lines.
Edited by tr-browsing on 06/08/2012 08:30:52 MDT.
Never thought of using stand-off sticks. Something to keep in mind. Thanks!
That's some good info on Philmont bear bagging. I was wondering about the preparation before going for it. Thanks for sharing info.
I'm thinking each pair of boys will carry their own food in their own food bag. What size dry bag should each boy to have?

My very first car that I owned was with my first (ex) husband. We were both in University and so we scrimped and saved until we had enough money in 1970 to buy a French-made car - a red Peugeot. It was a sunroof-equipped four-door saloon, very highly rated. We were so excited!
But our excitement was short-lived. Everything that could go wrong with that car did go wrong. The sunroof blew off the first month we had it. We were driving on the highway at the time. Next I was driving in a blinding snowstorm in Toronto when the windshield wipers fell off. Yep, I said "fell off". I had to open my window, stick my head out and drive all the way home like that.
The transmission locked up within 6 months and had to be replaced. Eventually we fought for a replacement car or reimbursement of all the expenses we had in the first 9 months. Mechanics in Toronto who checked the car shook their heads and showed us cracked hoses and inferior damaged engine parts. After a lengthy fight with Peugeot we did eventually receive some compensation. But the car was a junker within a year - so disappointing to us.
Our next car was an older used dark green Mustang which was in such bad shape that we had to use a rope passing from the driver's side window through the car out the passenger side window and across the roof to hold the doors shut. On a trip up north the entire transmission dropped out of the car, thankfully in a small town and not on the highway where we had been just 5 minutes earlier. We abandoned the car in that northern town and took a bus all the way home. It was many miles and hours of misery.

Oh the joys of being young and poor and needing transportation! What was your first car and when did you buy it? Got any funny stories about it?

The Sunshine State is particularly popular with families looking for the perfect holiday and, given the amount of family-friendly hotels in Orlando, it's easy to see why. Across the board, Orlando hotels bend over backwards to accommodate visitors, whatever their itinerary. For many, a visit to Orlando is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so make the most of it by staying in one of the area's opulent 5-star hotels or bag a bargain in some of the 4-star hotels. Whichever you chose, you can rest assured that you're never far from the major attractions.
Walt Disney World Resort needs no introduction but it does need some planning! With four theme parks, there is something for everyone. Featuring beloved Walt Disney characters, the enchanting Magic Kingdom Park is all about fairytales and fantasy and is perfect for little ones. Older kids and adults will love the Epcot Theme Park where the rides encourage imagination and creativity to expand your horizons. The Typhoon Lagoon is an aqua wonderland. Cascade down the waterslide at Gang Plank Falls, drift at your leisure along Castaway Creek or, if you're feeling brave enough, swim with real sharks in the shark reef! Happily, there is no end of tasteful luxury hotels to retire to after a hard day's fun!
Experience the magic of the movies at Universal Studios Orlando. Go behind the scenes and experience life on a working studio lot. If you're lucky, you might even get a chance to become an extra! Younger kids will enjoy parading with their favourite Nickelodeon characters, while tricky tweens will appreciate the Simpsons' Ride. Towering over 17 stories above Universal Studios, the Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket is a rollercoaster so terrifying it has even been known to silence stroppy teens!
If the children's heads start to spin, take time out with a stroll around the Central Florida Zoo. If this doesn't do the trick, decamp to one of the nearby spa hotels for some well-earned pampering. Chances are you'll need to recharge your batteries for the next day anyway!
Orlando has always been a popular holiday destination, so take the hassle out of your stay and book into one of the excellent airport hotels near to Orlando International Airport. A word of advice though; theme parks can be exhausting, so do everyone a favour and research the rides before you go. You'll need to have your wits about you to survive the crowds and the queues and, of course, the demands of your little darlings!

PAWTUCKET – Xander Bogaerts reached Triple-A Pawtucket as a 20-year-old and with 290 Double-A at-bats in 79 games to his credit.
Just to provide an idea of how unique his situation is, below is a list of former and current PawSox position players and where they stood at-bat and age-wise upon leaving Portland:
– Dustin Pedroia (256 at-bats in 66 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
– Will Middlebrooks (37 at-bats in 96 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
– Jacoby Ellsbury (271 at-bats in 67 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 23).
– Ryan Lavarnway (366 at-bats in 99 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 23).
– Jose Iglesias (221 at-bats in 57 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
– Jackie Bradley Jr. (229 at-bats in 61 Double-A games. Reached Pawtucket at age 22).
While every player's situation should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, the most notable difference between Bogaerts and the aforementioned players is age. The much-ballyhooed prospect made waves as the youngest player in the Eastern League this season, a distinction that remains the case now that he's playing his games in the International League.
As Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett explained Friday, the topic of Bogaerts' age as it relates to placing him in an advanced level was not a reason to hold him back at this juncture.
"He was in big-league camp this year and spent time with older players during the World Baseball Classic," noted Crockett. "We try not to put a specific timetable on when people need to get called up or not. Not only that, it puts us in a tough spot of either feeling like he's been disappointing or shown that he's ready.
"We want Xander to be in a place where he's challenged and can continue to get better," Crockett continued. "While he certainly could do that at Double A and has done it by going out and having success, he'll benefit even more from the challenge of Triple A."
Alex Hassan is listed on Boston's 40-man roster. Such a distinction helps spell out what manager Gary DiSarcina has to do now that Hassan is back with the PawSox.
"Alex is going to get worked in. We've got a boatload of outfielders now, but he's a priority. He's a 40-man guy. He's going to play a little first base," said DiSarcina prior to Thursday's game against Buffalo getting rained out. "Start him off slow – he hasn't been playing a ton. Manage his games played early so he's feeling comfortable and healthy. Forty-man guy … they have to play, there's no doubt about it."
When Hassan took the field at McCoy Stadium Friday, it marked his first Triple-A game since last August. The 25-year-old Duke grad missed out on Pawtucket's run to the Governors' Cup due to a laceration on his left leg. During the playoffs, then-Pawtucket manager Arnie Beyeler noted that Hassan, "He's probably healed up to play, but if he opened it back up, now we're back to square one with the greater chance of infection."
Fast forward to Opening Day 2013 in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Hassan was listed on that night's lineup card but wound up getting scratched roughly 30 minutes prior to first pitch.
Suffering from a right calf strain, Hassan was sent down to Fort Myers in late April. He received clearance to vacate the Red Sox' spring-training complex and begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Greenville roughly a month upon landing at Fenway South.
Hassan's first appearance with the Drive took place May 22. His second game with the ball club didn't come until June 4 (unlike the majors, there are no such thing as timetables when a minor-league player goes on a rehab assignment, meaning it's not as if Hassan was on a specific timetable to return to Pawtucket).
From June 4 on, Hassan appeared in eight games for Greenville. His final game action took place Tuesday when he played in both ends of a doubleheader. The Quincy, Mass. native ended up batting .478 with 10 walks in 23 Class A at-bats.
"I didn't have a ton of at-bats during spring training, so it was good to get at-bats (in the lower minors) to kind of get you ready for this," said Hassan while standing in Pawtucket's clubhouse on Thursday.
If there are any restrictions as far as DH'ing for the PawSox one day, playing the outfield the following day with a scheduled day off in between, Hassan isn't aware.
"Going to Greenville, it was more of a controlled setting where I could get some of that stuff out of the way," said Hassan. "It was tough going through everything, but I'm happy to be back here."
The fact that DiSarcina mentioned that a little time at first base is on Hassan's dance card probably has to do more with his 40-man classification than anything. Going back to spring training, it's safe to assume the Red Sox selected Mike Carp over Lyle Overbay is because Carp is also an outfielder in addition to a first baseman. Having the ability to play two positions worked in Carp's favor and is now something Hassan is about to take a stab at.
"It's something that I think I can be really good at," said Hassan when the topic switched to playing first base.
Added DiSarcina, "We're not going to throw him out there until he gets some reps, but he's ready, willing and able."
For the second time week, DiSarcina had the privilege of making an early-morning phone call to a PawSox pitcher, letting him know that the parent club requested his services. Following Boston's 14-inning win over Tampa Bay on Monday, DiSarcina got on the horn to Jose De La Torre. More late-night business was conducted after the Red Sox engaged in a 13-inning tussle with the Orioles on Thursday night. This time DiSarcina made a call to Rubby De La Rosa, who to the manager's surprise was still up and very much awake.
"It was 12:15 and Rubby was watching TV," said DiSarcina about a pitcher who was being informed that he was heading to the big leagues for the first time ever. "I was in a dead sleep when I called Rubby and you start getting worried whether they'll answer the phone. Sometimes they're asleep. It's part of the job, but it's exciting to hear their voice on the other end."
The second of four free youth clinics will take place Saturday from 2-3:15 p.m. Joining the PawSox coaching staff will be pitchers Allen Webster and Steven Wright, catcher Dan Butler, infielders Xander Bogaerts and Justin Henry and outfielders Jeremy Hazelbaker and Ronald Bermudez.

North Carolina
- Moldova Partnership
The North
Carolina - Moldova Partnership for Peace program is based upon an agreement to link
these two states together to better facilitate cooperation in the areas of civil
emergency operations, expansion of markets, cultural, scientific and academic
exchanges, and the coordination of humanitarian efforts of many governmental and
non-governmental organizations.
The North
Carolina - Moldova Partnership was formalized on April 22, 1999 by the Republic
of Moldova and the State of North Carolina. It has since evolved into a partnership
that includes the efforts of many more organizations and individuals to include
private firms, civic organizations and non-profit agencies. The partnership
is a bi-lateral association with planning committees in both North Carolina and
the Republic of Moldova who work together in a cooperative effort to improve and
enrich the lives of everyone it touches.

HIV Infection and Tobacco Use Among Injection Drug Users in Baltimore, Maryland: A Pilot Study of Biomarkers
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The incidence of lung cancer is quite high among people with the human immunodeficiency (HIV) virus. Frequent smoking may explain that cancer increase, given that 50% to 70% of HIV-infected people are current smokers.
Recent research suggests that other factors may be involved as well. Smoking habits, such as smoking earlier in life or smoking more cigarettes a day than others do, may have a role. Also, HIV-infected smokers seem to have a greater risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The association of HIV and COPD is important, because COPD itself is linked to an increased risk of lung cancer.
About 1,600 subjects from the study known as ALIVE (AIDS Linked to the Intra-Venous Experience), which began in 1988 in Baltimore, Maryland, will be given a detailed questionnaire on smoking behaviors and lung cancer risk factors. They will also have spirometry testing, to evaluate lung function.
To better characterize smoking habits and compare tobacco use among HIV-infected and uninfected drug users.
To compare serum cotinine levels and spirometry results, as a marker of tobacco use and a marker of damage to lung function, respectively.
Patients 18 years of age and older who are in the ALIVE cohort.
Patients undergo the following procedures:
- Completing a questionnaire on smoking history. Questions include age when smoking began, periods of quitting smoking, average number of cigarettes per day for specific periods, amount of each cigarette smoked, depth of inhalation, type of cigarette, nicotine dependence, use of other smoked [Note: I would not mention that these drugs are illegal] drugs, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, past medical history, and recent respiratory symptoms.
- Spirometry testing. Patients are asked to breathe as deeply as possible and then rapidly exhale into a tube. The forced expiration volume in 1 second reflects the average flow rate during the first second, and it can be used to determine the degree of pulmonary obstruction.
- Blood samples. Tests measure levels of cotinine, a chemical made by the body from nicotine. African American males, who constitute the majority of the ALIVE cohort, participate in this test. Results would show how much tobacco smoke has recently entered the body. For this test, researchers plan to evaluate 240 current tobacco smokers and 100 participants who report no recent cigarette use.

|HIV Infection and Tobacco Use Among Injection Drug Users in Baltimore, MD: A Pilot Study of Biomarkers
|Study Start Date:
|June 2007
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|February 2010
Lung cancer incidence is substantially elevated among people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although frequent smoking may partly explain this increase, recent work suggests other factors may also be involved. To better characterize smoking habits and lung cancer risk in HIV-infected people, the investigators propose a cross-sectional pilot study of HIV-infected and uninfected injection drug users in the ALIVE cohort in Baltimore, Maryland. A detailed questionnaire on smoking behaviors and other lung cancer risk factors will be administered to all ~ 1600 cohort subjects. In addition, the investigators will measure serum cotinine (a marker of recent smoking intensity) for a sample of 340 African American males from the cohort, stratified on the amount of cigarette use, HIV status, and CD4 count. Spirometry will be performed on the entire group of 1600 subjects, to assess for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Differences between HIV-infected and uninfected subjects in smoking habits, exposure to tobacco, or lung damage will identify areas for future investigation.

Governance: Compliance and Policy (CP)
The overall goals for the Compliance and Policy practice are prescriptive guidance for all stakeholders and auditability of SSDL activities. Management-approved prescriptive guidance must be available to all SSDL stakeholders, including vendors, for use in meeting security and compliance objectives. All SSDL activities must produce artifacts sufficient to allow auditing for adherence to prescriptive guidance.
CP Level 1: Document and unify statutory, regulatory, and contractual compliance drivers. The SSG must work with appropriate groups to capture unified compliance requirements in prescriptive guidance and make that knowledge available to SSDL stakeholders.
Unify regulatory pressures. If the business or its customers are subject to regulatory or compliance drivers such as FFIEC, GLBA, OCC, PCI DSS, SOX, HIPAA or others, the SSG acts as a focal point for understanding the constraints such drivers impose on software. In some cases, the SSG creates a unified approach that removes redundancy from overlapping compliance requirements. A formal approach will map applicable portions of regulations to control statements explaining how the organization complies. As an alternative, existing business processes run by legal or other risk and compliance groups outside the SSG may also serve as the regulatory focal point. The goal of this activity is to create one set of software security guidance so that compliance work is completed as efficiently as possible (mostly by removing duplicates). Some firms move on to guide exposure by becoming directly involved in standards groups in order to influence the regulatory environment.
Identify PII obligations. The way software handles personally identifiable information (PII) could well be explicitly regulated, but even if it is not, privacy is a hot topic. The SSG takes a lead role in identifying PII obligations stemming from regulation and customer expectations. It uses this information to promote best practices related to privacy. For example, if the organization processes credit card transactions, the SSG will identify the constraints that the PCI DSS places on the handling of cardholder data. Note that outsourcing to hosted environments (e.g., the cloud) does not relax a majority of PII obligations. Also note, firms that create software products that process PII (but don't necessarily handle PII directly) may provide privacy controls and guidance for their customers.
Create policy. The SSG guides the rest of the organization by creating or contributing to software security policy that satisfies regulatory and customer-driven security requirements. The policy provides a unified approach for satisfying the (potentially lengthy) list of security drivers at the governance level. As a result, project teams can avoid learning the details involved in complying with all applicable regulations. Likewise, project teams don't need to re-learn customer security requirements on their own. The SSG policy documents are sometimes focused around major compliance topics such as the handling of PII or the use of cryptography. In some cases, policy documents relate directly to the SSDL and its use in the firm. Architecture standards and coding guidelines are not examples of software security policy. On the other hand, policy that prescribes and mandates the use of coding guidelines and architecture standards for certain categories of applications does count. Policy is what is permitted and denied at the initiative level.
CP Level 2: Align internal practices with compliance drivers and policy, backed by executives. Executives must overtly promote the SSG and associated software security initiative, including the need for compliance. Risk managers must explicitly take responsibility for software risk. The SSG and application owners must ensure service level agreements address security properties of vendor software deliverables.
Identify PII data inventory. The organization identifies the kinds of PII stored by each of its systems and their data repositories. A PII inventory can be approached in two ways: through each individual application by noting its PII use, or through particular types of PII and the applications that touch them. When combined with the organization's PII obligations, this inventory guides privacy planning. For example, the SSG can now create a list of databases that would require customer notification if breached.
Require security sign-off for compliance-related risk. The organization has a formal compliance risk acceptance and accountability process addressing all software development projects. The risk acceptor signs off on the state of the software prior to release. For example, the sign-off policy might require the head of the business unit to sign off on compliance issues that have not been mitigated or SSDL steps related to compliance that have been skipped. Sign off should be explicit and captured for future reference, and exceptions should be tracked.
Implement and track controls for compliance. The organization can demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations because its practices are aligned with the control statements developed by the SSG. (See [CP1.1 Unify regulatory pressures].) The SSG tracks the controls, shepherds problem areas, and makes sure auditors and regulators are satisfied. If the organization's SDLC is predictable and reliable, the SSG might be able to largely sit back and keep score. If the SDLC is uneven or less reliable, the SSG could be forced to take a more active role as referee. A firm doing this properly can explicitly tie satisfying its compliance concerns to its SSDL.
Paper all vendor contracts with software security SLAs. Vendor contracts include a service-level agreement (SLA) ensuring that the vendor will not jeopardize the organization's compliance story and software security initiative. Each new or renewed contract contains a set of provisions requiring the vendor to deliver a product or service compatible with the organization's security policy. (See [SR2.5 Create SLA boilerplate].) In some cases, open source licensing concerns initiate the vendor control process. That can open the door for further software security language in the SLA.
Promote executive awareness of compliance and privacy obligations. The SSG gains executive buy-in around compliance and privacy activities. Executives are provided plain-language explanations of the organization's compliance and privacy obligations and the potential consequences for failing to meet those obligations. For some organizations, explaining the direct cost and likely fallout from a data breach could be an effective way to broach the subject. For other organizations, having an outside expert address the Board works because some executives value outside perspective over internal perspective. One sure sign of proper executive awareness is adequate allocation of resources to get the job done.
CP Level 3: Organizational threat, attack, defect, and operational issue data drive policy evolution and demands on vendors. Executives must ensure that software security policy is periodically updated based on actual data and must demonstrate the organization's ongoing compliance. The SSG, application owners, and legal groups must ensure vendors deliver software that complies with relevant organizational policy.
Create regulator eye-candy. The SSG has the information regulators want. A combination of written policy, controls documentation, and artifacts gathered through the SSDL gives the SSG the ability to demonstrate the organization's compliance story without a fire drill for every audit. In some cases, regulators, auditors, and senior management are satisfied with the same kinds of reports, which may be generated directly from various tools.
Impose policy on vendors. Vendors are required to adhere to the same policies used internally. Vendors must submit evidence that their software security practices pass muster. Evidence could include code review results or penetration test results. Vendors may also attest to the fact that they are carrying out certain SSDL processes. In some cases, a BSIMM score or a vBSIMM score has been used to help ensure that vendors are complying with the firm's policies.
Drive feedback from SSDL data back to policy. Information from the SSDL is routinely fed back into the policy creation process. Policies are improved to find defects earlier or prevent them from occurring in the first place. Blind spots are eliminated based on trends in SSDL failures. For example, inadequate architecture analysis, recurring vulnerabilities, ignored security gates, or choosing the wrong firm to carry out a penetration test may expose policy weakness. Over time, policies should become more practical and easier to carry out. (See [SM1.1 Publish process (roles, responsibilities, plan), evolve as necessary].) Ultimately policies align themselves with the SSDL data and enhance and improve a firm's effectiveness.

A game where you want to be the last person to not get tagged.
Game Type:
Active. A lot of movement may be required.
6 or more players
A tennis ball or other small ball A house over which you can throw a ball and run completely around with gates on both sides
The group can either choose one person to be the 'runner' with the runner on one side of the house and the rest of the group 'throwers' on the other, or the group can divide into even teams and put one group "the runners" on one side of the house and the 'throwers' on the other side. The throwers have the tennis ball.
The game starts when the throwers throw the ball over the house and yell "Annie-I-Over!". If the ball doesn't make it over the throwers yell "Pigtail!" and try again. Once the ball makes it over the house the runner(s) try to catch it before it hits the ground. If the runner(s) does not catch the ball, they must yell "Annie-I-Over!" and throw the ball back over the house. (It is a good trick to wait a few seconds before throwing the ball back to psych out the other team). If the runner(s) catches the ball, they proceed to quietly run around the house on either side and tag anyone by throwing the ball at them. If a player is tagged they also become a runner. The trick is that you never know if a runner will catch the ball or not or which way the runners will come once they catch the ball. Also, you never know which runner has the ball! After a person becomes a runner, he or she can then catch the ball and try to tag other players.

Monday, the Demons had the first of three two-a-day sessions in full gear this week. There were some shuffles on the personnel charts stemming from performances last week and Saturday night, although Peveto wasn't ready to raise the curtain on them yet.
"We've made a few depth chart changes that we'll evaluate this week and see how they work, and if they do, we'll share those. One of the concepts we have is 'next man in' because the next man has to be prepared to play the next play, and right now we have some good depth chart battles," said Peveto.
Saturday night, NSU's Purple Swarm defense produced five turnovers, including a 21-yard fumble return touchdown by senior safety Cortez Paige, while the offense rang up eight touchdowns, including three long pass plays, two by starting quarterback Brad Henderson.
"Through 89 plays, the defense gave up one touchdown and I thought played extremely well. Then from plays 90 to 115, the offense dominated. I saw a lot good on both sides," said Peveto.
"Offensively we did a great job, aside from turnovers, of playing consistently. We had some dropped balls that killed some drives, but we ran it well and took shots down the field with more success," he said.
Through 12 preseason workouts, Peveto cited the best features and biggest area of improvement needed on both sides of the ball.
"Offensively, we're doing a great of running the ball, and being multiple in their schemes. It's a great mixture of schematics, so to speak, making us defend a lot of different sets. The number one area for improvement is turnovers. We gave up the ball far too many times Saturday night.
"We're playing extremely hard defensively, running to the ball and attacking very well. We have to clean up our run fits. We did not fit some sets well, against the two-back run game, on Saturday and that was a glaring problem. We've played so much spread, we weren't as good against two-back as we should have been," he said.
While the team did not practice Sunday, newcomer players and coaches showcased other skills in the Demons' annual Talent Show Sunday night.
"The talent show was absolutely incredible. We had a group of newcomers do a skit that was set in one of our coaching staff meetings, and I'll just say I'm not sure how they had it pegged dead on, but it was hilarious. We all had some big laughs and some great bonding," said Peveto.
Newcomers sang the Demon Fight Song for the first time in what Peveto called "enthusiastic and entertaining" renditions.
"We gave no style points. We are all about effort and execution when it comes to singing the fight song," he said. "This isn't The Voice or American Idol."

FORT DRUM A large contingent from the posts 3rd Brigade Combat received orders to deploy this fall to Afghanistan.
About 2,000 soldiers from the brigade, about half of its personnel, will serve in a security force advise-and-assist role, similar to that assumed by the 10th Mountain Divisions Fort Drum-based 1st and 2nd Brigade Combat Teams and 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, and the divisions 4th Brigade Combat Team, based at Fort Polk, La.
Soldiers from the 3rd Brigade are listed to operate in multiple areas in the southern part of the country for nine months. The 2,000-soldier estimate is slightly larger than the 1,500- to 2,000-soldier count for the posts 1st and 2nd Brigade Combat Teams, which it said will allow it to cover more ground.
The brigade recently entered a two-week block leave period, and its commander, Col. Samuel E. Whitehurst, was not available for comment Monday.
The planned deployment has been widely discussed for the last few months, with brigade and division leadership, including division commander Maj. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, openly mentioning it on multiple occasions.
The brigade has trained for the deployment at the posts Mountain Peak exercise and it recently completed a rotation at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Polk.
Among the highlights for the brigades deployment will be its use of the Capability Set 13 communication technology. The technology, acquired by the brigade in October, helps track soldier movements and increase connectivity in remote areas through combined mobile satellite and radio connections.
The brigade is the second in the Army to use the gear since it was issued, after the divisions 4th Brigade Combat Team. The Louisiana-based brigade started its deployment to Afghanistan with the technology in June.
Though the deployment was announced formally in a Department of Defense press release Thursday, the announcement appeared not to get full distribution to media and post public affairs officials until the weekend.

RUSSELL The high school principal at Edwards-Knox Central School District is not working, but district officials are refusing to disclose her employment status.
High school Principal Michelle J. Varian has not reported to work since mid-December, but hasnt been terminated from her job as seventh- to 12th-grade principal, School Superintendent Suzanne L. Kelly said Wednesday.
According to legal advice, I am to say no comment until the issue is totally resolved, Ms. Kelly said. Because its a personnel issue, I cannot share details.
Although Ms. Varian is not working, the superintendent would not confirm or deny that shes been placed on administrative leave.
Nor would she discuss whether Mrs. Varian is still collecting her $81,291 annual salary.
No board resolutions have been voted on. No action has been taken, Ms. Kelly said.
The districts attorney is Andrew W. Silver, Canton.
Mrs. Varian, a Trout Lake resident, has held the Edwards-Knox principal position since July 2010 when she came to the district from Rocky Mount Preparatory School, North Carolina. She grew up in Central New York and taught physical eduction in Tompkins County for 20 years.
Mrs. Varian did not return a phone call seeking comment Wednesday.
The superintendent said she sent an email Tuesday evening to faculty and staff members to inform them she is not allowed to explain why Mrs. Varian is not working.
Ms. Kelly told staff she recognized the situation is tough on morale.
School Board President Theresa Hogle would not discuss Mrs. Varians situation.
I really cant comment in any way, on or off the record, Mrs. Hogle said. Theres always a lot of questions, but I really cant give any answers. Im not allowed to discuss any personnel.
During Mrs. Varians absence, high school science teacher Amy L. Sykes has been assigned to handle disciplinary issues. Since September, Mrs. Sykes had been working with Mrs. Varian as an administrative intern.
Issues related to academics and faculty will be handled by Ms. Kelly and Elementary Principal Amy Lamitie.
The school board is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 14.
Chalaine M. Archer, a community member, is trying to rally district residents who support Mrs. Varian to attend the meeting.
She has been a breath of fresh air for the district, Mrs. Archer said. She is a good disciplinarian and I feel letting her go would be a poor decision.
Stacia A. Kroniser, head of EK Watch, a citizens group, said the lack of information from district officials has fueled numerous rumors in the community.
Theres a lot of confusion. If they terminated her, why dont they just come clean? Mrs. Kroniser asked.

What is myocarditis?
Reader Stories
Myocarditis is inflammation of heart muscle.
What causes myocarditis?
Myocarditis can be caused by a variety of infections and conditions such as viruses, sarcoidosis, and immune diseases (such as systemic lupus, etc.), pregnancy, and others. The most common cause of myocarditis is infection of the heart muscle by a virus. The virus invades the heart muscle to cause local inflammation. After the initial infection subsides, the body's immune system continues to inflict inflammatory damage to the heart muscle. This immune response actually prolongs the myocarditis.
What are symptoms of myocarditis?
Reader Stories
Myocarditis can be mild and cause virtually no noticeable symptoms. The most frequent symptom of myocarditis is pain in the chest. When myocarditis is more serious, it leads to weakening of the heart muscle. Myocarditis can then cause heart failure (with symptoms of shortness of breath, fatigue, fluid accumulation in the lungs, etc.) as well as heart rhythm irregularities from inflammation and/or scarring of the electrical system of the heart.
How is myocarditis diagnosed?
Myocarditis is diagnosed by detecting signs of irritation of heart muscle. Blood tests for heart muscle enzymes (CPK levels) can be elevated. Electrical testing (EKG) can suggest irritation of heart muscle and demonstrate irregular beating of the heart. Nuclear heart scan testing can show irregular areas of heart muscle.

MANCHESTER,NH–On Saturday, the North Country cross country Falcons sent their boy's team and Avery Ellis to the New England Interscholastic Cross Country Championships that were held at Derryfield Park.
It was the first trip to the race for all but one of the Falcons, and they came away with a great showing, a bunch of memories and some valuable experience that all but one of them will be able to implement and utilize moving forward.
"It was a great day at the races," said North Country coach Chris Shaffer. "It is a high pace course that makes you feel like you are actually running."
Avery Ellis was the first member of the team to take to the course, and she did not disappoint, shaving nearly a minute off of her best effort in a 5K while placing 82nd with time of 19:39.9.
"She didn't look like a freshman out there. She was poised, she ran well, and if things go well, she will have three more chances to run this race," Shaffer said of his talented freshman.
Out of the 81 racers that came in before her, eight of them are in Avery's grade, and their times were all within striking distance of Ellis', so that bodes well moving forward.
The Falcon boys were up next, and much like he has all season, Sam Brunnette led the way for North Country.
It was his second time going to New England's and his second time racing on this track this season, as he attended a race there around the mid-point of this year's campaign to test his mettle against some of the same racers he competed with on Saturday.
The last time he visited Manchester he finished in 11th place with a time of 16:52.
This time he trimmed 29 seconds off of his previous time, coming across the line with a new personal record time of 16:23, good for 56th place.
Said Shaffer, "Sam said he didn't feel like he had a good day, but he set a new PR, which is always good."
Alex Cotnoir, with a time of 16:50.5, was the next one in for North Country, finishing in the 115 slot.
Andrew Franklin's time of 17:15 placed him 166th overall, and he was followed by Ross DeLaBruere (224, 18:05.3) and Alex Cope (247, 19:03.9).
Ross was the only senior running for the Falcons, and Shaffer commented on Ross' final race, saying, "This was a great day to end his career on. He was strong, confident and he had a blast."
Parker LaCourse (253rd, 19:15.2) and Patrick Tetreault (255th, 19:23.7) also ran the race, but did not factor in the scoring.
The boys team finished the race in 24th place.
This race signaled the end of the 2013 fall sports season for the North Country Falcons, and now several of these athletes will turn their attention to the winter season, which is just around the corner.

The arrival of the Gibson Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar in 1983 offered guitarists all the essential elements of a Les Paul Standard, including a carved top and humbucking pickups. Its simple yet elegant design quickly helped it become the most popular model in the Les Paul Series.
The Les Paul Studio Deluxe II '50s Electric Guitar raises the bar with the cutting-yet-rich tone of a 490R humbucking pickup in the neck position and a BurstBucker Pro humbucking pickup in the bridge position, which are mounted on a carved maple top with a mahogany back. Both pickups offer coil splitting for single-coil sounds and a boost circuit via push/push switching in the volume controls. "Straight Split" coil-splitting offers pure single coil tone and differs from LP Standards and Studios that have a "Super Tap" coil-tap, which still has a small amount of humbucking. The boost circuit has a user-adjustable 10dB boost for added power and frequency range for solos, single-note picking and dirty chording (depending on amp settings) and features true bypass that disengages the boost completely, ensuring pure passive Les Paul tone.
The hardware is finished in chrome including Grover tuners and Gibson's pioneering tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. The Les Paul Studio Deluxe is dependable and affordable — and is built without any compromises. The Gibson Les Paul comes with a hardshell case.
Don't settle for less. Order your Les today.

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe II '50s Neck Flame Top Electric Guitar:
What a guitar! I picked up my new Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe II just a few days after Christmas and have been extremely happy every since.
I've been wanting a Gibson LP for a very long time and had done some very picky shopping around for the last several weeks. I've played just about every LP that was in my price range and for sale in my town. I played several Studios, a few Traditionals, a few Classics, etc. Even played several used LP's. When I got this one in my hands I knew it was a little different. Not only did it look stunning (it's got a fantasic flamed top) it felt right. Good weight (just over 9lbs) that you'd expect from an LP, very well balanced, etc. Setup was nearly spot on too and it wasn't going to take much to get it just right for me. Like I said it just felt right.
Next I took the guitar into the Accoustic room to see how it'd sound unplugged. I spend 90% of my practice time on the couch and unplugged so I had a good idea what I wanted accoustically. Again, much like the feel, this one sounded just like I hoped. Very resonate and lively. Chords and single notes just pop and are cristal clear.
Then it was time to plug it in. Used a Blues Deluxe amp for the demo and yet again I was really pleased. The tone of this guitar is just awesome and so variable. The coil splitting is nice and has almost a Tele like country tones in single coil modes. The 490R neck pickup (which used most of the time) has a ton of tonal range with just the use of the tone & volume knobs. Hit the Boost and it'll give some good lead tones too.
The Burstbucker Pro bridge pickup is bright with plenty of bark to it. Great for those few times that I'm playing leads. The boost is just ok with this pickup as it's already got a good amount of output & really doesn't need much more.
Together these pickups work well with each other. I have to turn the bridge pickup down a little more than the neck, but once in that sweet spot, they work very nicely together.
I just love this guitar. I play it everyday & my poor older guitars just aren't getting any playing time right now. My poor Fender Telecaster is gonna be on the hanger for a while & my Epiphone LP may just end up for sale...

Comments about Gibson Les Paul Studio Deluxe II '50s Neck Flame Top Electric Guitar:
First and foremost, I want to say Thank you to MusiciansFriend for making this purchase the most pleasant experience I've had period! They went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that I received THE guitar that I wanted. No one matches MusiciansFriend professionalism, customer knowledge and customer service.
Now, about this guitar. I'm not a big fan of chambered Les Pauls. They sound good of course. But when you buy a Les Paul, you want a heavy BEAST of a guitar. My first Studio was rather light. And I just couldn't get around it. So I called MusiciansFriend and explained my situation. They were more than understanding and immediately went to work on the situation. They shipped me another one and it was a winner! First, the case ( made in Canada )white fur with no material cover. Not tragic but Nice. The Studio was beautiful! The finish is a sight to see and the pick ups are really, really HOT. Having the ability to split the coils on both pickups provide a huge advantge for the player. From full humbucker to single coil.......standard.....WHAT A DEAL! This guitar is very versatile and it also comes with a boost feature. Now I'm sure this will come in handy some day but I'm old school and I use a stomp box for a solo. So for now, I'm still working on it. But if you can, treat yourself to this guitar. She is all the BEAST you'll need. And don't let anyone tell you that its not a real Les Paul. Once you hear her, you'll be glad you did. Thanks again MusiciansFriend!

What an absolutely wonderful guitar!! I'm not a 'bling' guy, but just one glance at this axe and you are totally entranced. But the real value is the sound.....and the sound flexibility. I play at church and in small venues. The acceptance by my peers has been 100%. Now they all want one.
My other electric guitar is a Fender strat, which I adore. But................this Gibson , although a different tone/sound, is the BOMB!!!

This is the first Gibson I've owned, but once I played it I cant play anything else! I love everything about it, the looks, the craftsmenship, the fact that it comes with a case, everything! I play rock and also at church and the sound quality that I get for distortion is awesome but the clean is just so warm and full and beautiful I can't get over it I'm sold for life and won't buy anything else!! Hope this helps and have a great day all!!

Ethan Wragge Finishes Fifth at 3-Point Contest
DALLAS, Texas -- Creighton sharpshooter Ethan Wragge took fifth place at the State Farm College 3-Point Championships on Thursday night at Moody Coliseum on the campus of SMU in Dallas, Texas.
Wragge made 13-of-25 shots, in addition to four "money balls" that counted double, for a first round score of 17. Surprisingly, it wasn't enough to advance to the semifinals against a field of eight of the nation's best senior marksmen.
Wragge the first shooter of the night, and started in the left corner on the west side of the court. His shots were as follows:
Left Corner: Y N N Y Y = 4 points
Left Wing: N N N Y Y = 3 points
Top of the Key: Y Y Y Y N = 4 points
Right Wing: N N N Y Y = 3 points
Right Corner: N N Y N Y = 3 points
The top four finishers advanced to the semifinals. The NCAA recordholder in three-point baskets, Travis Bader (Oakland), led the way with 23. Joining him in the semi's were Marshall Henderson (Mississippi) with 20, Brady Heslip (Baylor) with 19 and Akeem Richmond (East Carolina) with 18.
Besides Wragge, other players that did not advance were Andre Dawkins (Duke) with 14, Billy Baron (Canisius) with 13 and Luke Hancock (Louisville) with 9.
Bader topped the field in the semifinal round with 22, while Heslip was second with 19. Not advancing were Richmond (12) and Henderson (12).
In the final, Heslip defeated Bader, 18-14.
