February is Condom Month-so with that being said, here's some interesting points about the prophylactic:
More than 5 billion condoms worldwide are sold every year according to statistics from condom-maker Ansell Limited.
Although their precise purpose is unclear, condoms are depicted on male hieroglyphics figures dating back to ancient Egypt. Protective sheaths used in the early 1500s were made from ill-fitting animal bladders or intestines, although some of the more imaginative designs were made of metal…ouch. And they were reusable. ;? really? The first modern condoms were made from real rubber and produced by Goodyear. Yep, they make tires, too.
Condoms are now made from soft, ultra-thin synthetic materials that are dipped onto glass-formers. The forms are cleaned, dipped into latex — often twice — then the latex is cured and stripped from the glass form. Next, "naked condoms" are washed and lightly powdered to remove the stickiness. Finally, they're electronically tested for holes, rolled, lubricated and foiled. 100% of condoms are checked using electric charges that are sent through the condom to spot any holes or tears. A random sampling is filled with water to further find imperfections while another group of samples is pumped full of air to measure their breaking point.
The average U.S. condom user is between the ages of 18 and 24 and about 70 percent of condom purchases are made by men. The average cost for a 12-pack is $10.99. ARE gives out condoms FREE!!!! Chinese are the heaviest condom users; surprisingly, the British come in second, according to Australia-based Ansell. The United States ranks sixth. mmmmm…
The female condom was introduced to this country in 1993, it was not a hit. It was perceived as difficult to use and uncomfortable. Sales have never been good and ARE isn't fond of them besides the high cost. Condoms are the most effective form of birth control. While not perfect, they also have the benefit of helping to prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV/AIDS, genital herpes and chlamydia.
Final point that made me wonder was, people are interested in condoms that play music…really? The condom company stated maybe using the same technology found in greeting cards. Ok…..Imagine those self-recorded messages.. And on that note, we'll end this fun journey.. play safe my people.

"People have a right to see and hear what their Congress is debating and this action will ensure every hearing of the Natural Resources Committee will be available for every American to watch on the Internet," said Chairman Hastings. "Over the past two years, 32 hearings were held in this camera-less room. It's just unacceptable in the year 2011 for Congress not to make its work as public and tech-friendly as possible."
The camera equipment has been acquired and planning is underway for its installation. Live audio will continue to be available in the 1334 hearing room while the cameras are being installed.

Find Home Furnishings
Find Home Furnishings is a phenomenal home shop on 9th street in Brooklyn, located right on the Gowanus Canal. It's a perfectly curated shop full of vintage furniture, custom upholstery and lovely home accessories. It flooded during Sandy, and opened on the 16th powered by generators.
Fort Defiance
Fort Defiance is closed to rebuild. Their basement was completely submerged in flood water, and much equipment and inventory was lost. To keep their business going, they're offering junk bonds–not worth as much as you pay for them–but still a good value if you prioritize investing in local communities.
Pasanella and Son Vinters
Sandy forced Pasanella and Sons to close for 21 days to completely rebuild their store and enoteca. If you're looking for awesome gifts for the vinophile/liquorphile in your life, this is your place. They offer free delivery in their downtown Manhattan neighborhood, and ship to states where alcohol can be imported.
These designy temporary tattoos are a must-have for adults and kids alike. The brainchild of Tina Ross Eisenberg, this DUMBO business lost power for 10 days and had to delay shipments after Sandy. Shop early & often—this is one of our favorite small businesses to spring up in the last few years.
Perch! Ceramics
You probably know them from their "Container for One Thing"–a must-have in any modern home, but Perch! Modern Ceramics also offers planters, birdfeeders and gorgeous pendant lights. Perch was without power in their studio for weeks, suffered major flooding, and lost 3 electric kilns.
Baked NYC
Another Red Hook mainstay, Baked's basement was flooded during Hurricane Sandy. They're known for their decadent brownies and cookies, and their cookbooks grace the shelves of many New York foodies. Support them by shopping for cookbooks, Baked mugs, totes, and tees, and, of course, their delicious baked goods.
Brooklyn Slate Company
The Brooklyn Slate Company was already preparing for the hectic holiday season when Hurricane Sandy struck. They faced a depleted staff, damaged inventory, and halted UPS shipments at the start of their busiest time of year. Their fantastic line of slate goods includes placemats, cheese boards, coasters, and stocking stuffers, and they've teamed up with(…)
Foxy & Winston
Foxy & Winston is a Red Hook mainstay. Many of the Red Hook shops were underwater and lost power for more than a week. Shop their adorable printed textiles (like teatowels, aprons, and pillow covers), baby goods (adorable onesies), and screenprinted art. They also do custom letterpress and screenprinted art and invitations.
The Salty Paw
A one-stop grooming and pet supply shop, The Salty Paw was completely flooded during Hurricane Sandy. Though their storefront isn't reopened for business yet, they're continuing their grooming services at Seaport Animal Hospital (80 Beekman St).
Jack's Stir Brew
A local coffee shop for many downtown residents, Jack's Front Street location was completely flooded during Hurricane Sandy. If you're near one of Jack's 3 locations, stop in for a cup of coffee with Hudson Valley Fresh milk. If you're not close by, lucky for you, Jack's ships fair trade, shade grown coffee by the pound,(…)
Whimsy & Spice
This Brooklyn-based confectionary company lost power in their kitchen for one week during Hurricane Sandy. Serving up cookies, brownies, and their unbelievably delicious marshmallows, Whimsy & Spice is an institution at the Brooklyn Flea and at the where's-where of artisanal food markets.
One Girl Cookies
From the owners' blog: "As some of you may already know, our lovely DUMBO store is not so lovely right now. Unfortunately, we were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy and suffered some damage due to flooding. (Our block was under 4′ of water and power has not yet been restored.)

LEESBURG -- Leesburg City Council candidate Jeff Sexton offered proof that he's not a typical politician at a called news conference Monday when he vowed, if elected, not to accept the salary that goes along with the job.
"I don't know how we'd work this out, but my goal is not to cost the city a penny for my service on the council," Sexton said. "I think the yearly salary would be around $1,000, and I would use that money for the restoration of the city's Central Park.
"I also do not plan to take advantage of benefits -- health care, use of a cell phone -- that the city provides."
Sexton and businesswoman Rhonda Futch will face off Sept. 21 in a special election called to fill a vacant seat on the seven-person council.
Sexton, a Web designer and political blogger, also said he plans to donate DVD copies of all City Council, Lee County Commission and Lee Planning Commission meetings he's videotaped during the past two years.
"I am working now to make DVD copies of all the meetings I've shot," said the candidate, who held the news conference on the lawn of the Lee County Library branch in Leesburg. "I look at this as a historical project. If the technology to watch DVDs still exists 50 years from now, people will be able to see what really happened at any of the city or county meetings."
Registered city of Leesburg voters will be able to cast early ballots in the special election through Friday. Ballots will be cast at Fire/EMS station 1 starting at 7 a.m. on Sept. 21.
Sexton is making a second run for the Leesburg council, while Futch -- owner/operator of a telecommunications company -- is making a first try for public office.

The Good: solid, heavy duty, weather-resistant protection against tough jobsite conditions, great sound
The Bad: large and heavy, awkward to lift and carry
Probably the most significant thing you'll notice about the Bosch PB360D Deluxe or Bosch PB360S Basic jobsite radio won't become apparent until you lift it out of the box. At 25 pounds it's a beast. Compared to the Makita radio, the price is a bit of a beast too.
Is it worth the extra? Fine Homebuilding magazine considers it to have, "far and away, the best audio quality of any of the jobsite radios". So assuming that you bought this Bosch radio because you wanted a durable high quality sound system that would stand up to the rigors of outdoor use, then yes it is good value.
How Tough is the Bosch Radio?
Both models of the Bosch PowerBox 360 have an identical rubber coated aluminum rollbar for protection and both models are resistant to dust and rain.
So do the roll bars and shock proofing give adequate protection? I would say yes, they do….
Aside from the 30 preset AM and FM radio stations you can input your tunes through the two Aux inputs from your phone, mp3 player, satellite radio (deluxe version only), CD players, tape decks or whatever else you can come up with. One of these Aux inputs is also an output so that you can run a feed to additional speakers if so desired. There is also a DC outlet enabling you to operate or charge any low amperage 12v stuff like cell phones and the like. All three of these inputs/outlets are on the outside of the radio and have flip up covers to keep dust and moisture out when not in use.
On one side of the Bosch radio there is weather and dust proof media bay which houses a SD card slot and a powered USB slot for flash drives and devices that charge via USB. There is also a cradle with an adjustable strap to securely hold a cell phone or mp3 device. There is also a third AUX input inside.
You can toggle through all of these input choices with the large source button on the front of the radio for instant flexibility. When using a flash drive or SD card as a music source you can control them (play, pause, fast forward, stop, skip) from the front control panel as well. One thing to note though, if you are using an mp3 player it can only be controlled from its own interface.
At the opposite end from the media bay is the battery bay. A single 14.4 – 18v battery can be plugged in here to run the radio or, if the radio is plugged in to 110v and the battery is below full charge, the battery charger will kick in and bring the battery up to full charge.
Both the Bosch PB360D and PB360S deliver their impressive 360 degree sound through four speakers mounted on top and a 5" subwoofer on the bottom of the unit. As you can see from the video, they are shock proof and well protected by the roll bar.
The PB360S puts out 26 watts of power, which is enough for a large work site or beach area or deck. The PB360D has almost twice the power output (50 watts) of the base model. The 50 watt PB360D certainly puts the "BOOM" in this box. If you need a radio for a large outdoor area it might be worth the extra $50. for the deluxe model and not have to have the volume cranked to the max all the time.
The extra money also gets you two GFIC receptacles instead of the standard plugins on the base model radio. The four AC outlets on both units give you a total combined amp rating of 10 amps.
The other notable differences between the two radios are the remote control, the backlit control panel and the SIRIUS satellite doc/playport on the deluxe model.
Both models operate on 110v, three prong AC power (6 foot cord) or any of the 14.4 – 18v Bosch lithium ion batteries used to power their extensive line of cordless tools. There are no batteries included with either unit.
One of the most asked questions is how long the Bosch radio will run on a single fully charged 18v battery. For the base model (PB360S ) this can vary from about 2 ½ hours with the volume set to near maximum to 6 or 7 hours indoors with the volume at about 1/3. Of course it stands to reason that if you are using the Bosch PB360D outdoors at full volume you can expect less run time as it is putting out nearly double the volume.
Overall the Bosch PB360D (Deluxe) and Bosch PB360S (Standard) are rugged, well designed jobsite radios with awesome sound quality.

MJ Has Still Got ItPublished by Clay Cane on Friday, October 2, 2009 at 1:23 am.
The documentary of Michael Jackson's tour, This Is It, is in theaters October 28th. Tickets went on sale this past Sunday and according to E! the movie is outselling some heavy hitters.
Fandango said the concert movie was its new top-seller, ousting The Twilight Saga: New Moon. MovieTickets.com said it had already recorded more than 550 sellouts. And to put a global point on it, Sony Pictures bragged about big business from Britain to Japan.
This Is It opens Oct. 28, if you don't count sneaks on Oct. 27. Sony says the movie, culled from rehearsals for the late Jackson's not-to-be London shows, will play only two weeks.
This is no shocker and the early footage we have seen of the concerts looks like he was more than prepared for the tour. In addition, it's an excellent way to honor his musical legacy.
Will you be buying tickets for the documentary?

Under the Direct Stafford Loan program, the student borrows money from the U.S. government. The student has the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund, and the student is entitled to a refund of the moneys not paid from federal student financial aid programs funds.
A student applies by completing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) annually and in their first year, a MPN (Master Promissory Note) and Entrance Counseling. Funds received through the Direct Loan Program must be repaid starting six months after leaving school. A student may borrow a maximum of $20,500 per academic year (defined as two trimesters). However, University Policy limits the maximum Direct Loan per academic year to $18,500. Loans for less than a full academic year are pro-rated accordingly. A Direct Loan will be either unsubsidized, Gradplus or a combination of both.
Interest on an unsubsidized loan is not paid by the federal government and therefore interest will accumulate on the loan while the student is in school. Unless the student makes payment on the interest while in school, the interest will be capitalized or added to the principle when the loan goes into repayment. The University encourages students to make interest payments while in school and during the grace period. The interest on this loan is set every July 1st and is currently fixed at 6.21%. Effective July 1, 2014, a 1.072% Guarantee fee will be apply to all Stafford Loans. Per University policy, the maximum a student may borrow is $18,500. The Unsubsidized loan is not need-based.
Graduate or professional students are eligible to borrow under the Grad PLUS Loan Program up to their cost of attendance minus other estimated financial assistance including other Direct Loans. Applicants are required to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and have a good credit history. The interest on this loan is set every July 1st and is currently fixed at 7.21%. The current Guarantee fee applied to all Grad Plus loans is 4.292%.

US public broadcaster PBS bids for slice of BBC's market

For more than 40 years the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) – America's equivalent of the BBC – has provided the nation's viewers with a "gold standard" of public service television.
Now the BBC faces a challenge from its US cousin as it launches PBS UK, an "upmarket" channel devoted to US history, science and arts, on BSkyB and Virgin Media.
Supported by Federal government funding and private donations, the not-for-profit PBS network is watched by more than 124 million US viewers. Inspired by the BBC, PBS was created in 1970 to ensure diversity in an environment dominated by commercial television networks.
As well as bringing Sesame Street to the screen, PBS produces the acclaimed nightly current affairs show NewsHour and Frontline, an award-winning documentary series that has conducted controversial investigations into American foreign policy. Often accused of "liberal bias" by Republicans, PBS is fighting calls to cut the $430m budget it shares with the US's National Public Radio service.

Canadian Animator Ryan Larkin Dies
TORONTO, Feb. 16 /CNW/ - Laurie Gordon, Ryan Larkin's producer, manager and good friend expressed her profound sympathy today at the passing of legendary Canadian animator Ryan Larkin. Larkin died peacefully in his sleep, Wednesday, February 14, in St. Hyacinthe, Quebec following a long-term battle with cancer. Larkin was 63. "Ryan was an inspiration to everyone who knew him and to generations of creative spirits in Canada and around the world," said Gordon. "He was charismatic even in the face of his illness. The end of Ryan's life was one of the most beautiful final chapters ever written - he died on Valentine's Day - a day of love no less. I will miss him enormously." Most recently, Larkin was working with Gordon on an animation film "Spare Change" about his experience as a panhandler on the Main in Montreal, Quebec; it was going to be a comeback project for Larkin. Gordon will continue to work on "Spare Change" in Ryan's memory. Details can be found at www.ryanbango.com Brief bio: A world class animator and filmmaker, Larkin was a rising star in the world of animation in the 1970s. He began working for the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) at the age of 19 and it was there that he created his most-famous films, Walking, for which he received an Oscar nomination, and Street Musique, considered a masterpiece of animated movement as well as Syrinx and Cityscape. These films have secured Larkin a place in the history of animated filmmaking and his work has influenced a whole generation of animators. In 2005, Larkin was the subject of the animated film Ryan, by Christopher Landreth, which won Landreth an Oscar for Best Animated Short. Larkin most recently worked on a new film entitled Spare Change, about his experience as a panhandler on the Main in Montreal, Quebec. In December, Larkin created three short animated segments that aired on MTV in Canada.

The sandwich has been the staple of the midday meal since the turn of the century. But despite its commonality, the sandwich is anything but boring—at least in Portland. Take the ones at Bunk Sandwiches, which come stuffed not with common cold cuts, but with house-cured pork belly. Or the burgers at Little Big Burger, which feature pillowy brioche buns bursting with locally made meats and cheeses. And of course, you can't forget the traditional grilled-cheese sandwich, though the ones at Brunch Box are anything but traditional. The crispy, cheesy concoctions function as hamburger buns, bookending a massive beef-and-turkey burger to create a sandwich-on-sandwich-on-sandwich masterpiece.Read More

- How to Read a Study Record
Objective: To determine if Lumigan (bimatoprost) causes increased lash length when used in gel suspension applied to the base of the eyelashes. Methods: Subjects recruited from the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute were screened and those who met inclusion criteria were enrolled. Each participant received two vials of gel suspension, which contained bimatoprost and normal saline, respectively, each mixed 1:1 with GonakTM gel and labeled "right eye" and "left eye" according to randomization. The suspension was applied to the eyelashes every evening on the designated eye for 6 weeks. Lash length was measured with a caliper at enrollment, at weekly intervals during the study and at 1 and 3 months after study completion. Visual acuity, ocular symptoms, intraocular pressure and photographs were documented at these same intervals. Results: The average eyelash growth in the Lumigan group was 2.01mm (vs. control average of 1.13mm) which was a statistically significant difference (p=0.009). The average intraocular pressure decreased equally in both groups (2.14 mmHg). No change in visual acuity or iris discoloration was noted in any of the subjects. Discussion: Our data showed an increase in eyelash length with use of Lumigan in gel suspension, suggesting that it may have eyelash lengthening properties.

Cyberwarfare in the United States
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (June 2014)
Cyberwarfare in the United States is an important issue. As a major developed economy, the US is highly dependant on the Internet and very exposed to attack, yet at the same time has very significant capabilities in both defense and power projection thanks to its advanced technology and large military budget.
The United States Department of Defense recognises the use of computers and the Internet to conduct warfare in cyberspace as a threat to national security,[1] but also as a platform for attack.[2]
The United States Cyber Command centralizes command of cyberspace operations, organizes existing cyber resources and synchronizes defense of U.S. military networks. It is an armed forces sub-unified command subordinate to United States Strategic Command.

The Five Pillars[edit]
The five pillars is the framework for the United States military strategy for cyberwarfare.[3] The first pillar is to recognize that the new domain for warfare is cyberspace similar to the other elements in the battlespace. The second pillar is proactive defenses as opposed to passive defense. Two examples of passive defense are computer hygiene and firewalls. The balance of the attacks require active defense using sensors to provide a rapid response to detect and stop a cyber attack on a computer network. This would provide military tactics to backtrace, hunt down and attack an enemy intruder. The third pillar is critical infrastructure protection (CIP) to ensure the protection of critical infrastructure. The fourth pillar is the use of collective defense, which would provide the ability of early detection and to incorporate them into the cyberwarfare defence structure. The fifth pillar is maintain and enhance the advantage of technological change. This would include improved computer literacy and increasing artificial intelligence capabilities.
Cyberattack as an act of war[edit]
In 2011, The White House published an "International Strategy for Cyberspace" that reserved the right to use military force in response to a cyberattack:[4][5]
When warranted, the United States will respond to hostile acts in cyberspace as we would to any other threat to our country. We reserve the right to use all necessary means — diplomatic, informational, military, and economic — as appropriate and consistent with applicable international law, in order to defend our Nation, our allies, our partners, and our interests. In so doing, we will exhaust all options before military force whenever we can; will carefully weigh the costs and risks of action against the costs of inaction; and will act in a way that reflects our values and strengthens our legitimacy, seeking broad international support whenever possible.
In 2013, the Defense Science Board, an independent advisory committee to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, went further, stating that "The cyber threat is serious, with potential consequences similar in some ways to the nuclear threat of the Cold War," and recommending, in response to the "most extreme case" (described as a "catastrophic full spectrum cyber attack"), that "Nuclear weapons would remain the ultimate response and anchor the deterrence ladder."[6] In a full-scale attack, the report warns of the following scenario:
Should the United States find itself in a full-scale conflict with a peer adversary, attacks would be expected to include denial of service, data corruption, supply chain corruption, traitorous insiders, kinetic and related non-kinetic attacks at all altitudes from underwater to space. U.S. guns, missiles, and bombs may not fire, or may be directed against our own troops. Resupply, including food, water, ammunition, and fuel may not arrive when or where needed. Military Commanders may rapidly lose trust in the information and ability to control U.S. systems and forces. Once lost, that trust is very difficult to regain.
The impact of a destructive cyber attack on the civilian population would be even greater with no electricity, money, communications, TV, radio, or fuel (electrically pumped). In a short time, food and medicine distribution systems would be ineffective; transportation would fail or become so chaotic as to be useless. Law enforcement, medical staff, and emergency personnel capabilities could be expected to be barely functional in the short term and dysfunctional over sustained periods. If the attack's effects were reversible, damage could be limited to an impact equivalent to a power outage lasting a few days. If an attack's effects cause physical damage to control systems, pumps, engines, generators, controllers, etc., the unavailability of parts and manufacturing capacity could mean months to years are required to rebuild and reestablish basic infrastructure operation.
Attacks on other nations[edit]
In June 2010, Iran was the victim of a cyber attack when its nuclear facility in Natanz was infiltrated by the cyber-worm 'Stuxnet', said to be the most advanced piece of malware ever discovered and significantly increases the profile of cyberwarfare.[7][8] It destroyed perhaps over 1000 nuclear centrifuges and, according to a Business Insider article, "[set] Tehran's atomic programme back by at least two years."[9]
Despite a lack of official confirmation, Gary Samore, White House Coordinator for Arms Control and Weapons of Mass Destruction, made a public statement, in which he said, "we're glad they [the Iranians] are having trouble with their centrifuge machine and that we – the US and its allies – are doing everything we can to make sure that we complicate matters for them", offering "winking acknowledgement" of US involvement in Stuxnet.[10]
In 2013, Edward Snowden, a former systems administrator for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and a counterintelligence trainer at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), revealed that the United States government had hacked into Chinese mobile phone companies to collect text messages and had spied on Tsinghua University, one of China's biggest research institutions, as well as home to one of China's six major backbone networks, the China Education and Research Network (CERNET), from where internet data from millions of Chinese citizens could be mined. He said U.S. spy agencies has been watching China and Hong Kong for years.[11]
According to classified documents provided by Edward Snowden, the National Security Agency (NSA) has also infiltrated the servers in the headquarters of Huawei, China's largest telecommunications company and the largest telecommunications equipment maker in the world. The plan is to exploit Huawei's technology so that when the company sold equipment to other countries — including both allies and nations that avoid buying American products — the NSA could roam through their computer and telephone networks to conduct surveillance and, if ordered by the president, offensive cyberoperations.[12]
- In 1982, a computer control system stolen from a Canadian company by Soviet spies caused a Soviet gas pipeline to explode. The code for the control system had been modified by the CIA to include a logic bomb which changed the pump speeds to cause the explosion.[13]
- In 1991, it was reported by the US Air Force that a computer virus named AF/91 was created and was installed on a printer chip and made its way to Iraq via Amman, Jordan.[14] Its job was to make the Iraqi anti-aircraft guns malfunction; however, according to the story, the central command center was bombed and the virus was destroyed.[15] The virus, however, was found to be a fake.[15]
- In 1998, in order for US and NATO to bomb Serbian targets successfully in Kosovo, the USA needed to hack into the Serbian air defense system and trick the Serbian Air Traffic Controllers.[16] The US accomplished its goal so well that there was concern about continuing or escalating the attacks because the US didn't want to hack into any further Serbian targets because of fear of damaging civilian targets.[citation needed]
Cyber threat information sharing[edit]
The Pentagon has had an information sharing arrangement, the Defense Industrial Base Cybersecurity and Information Assurance (DIBCIA) program, in place with some private defense contractors since 2007[17] to which access was widened in 2012.[18]
A number of other information sharing initiatives such as the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) and Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) have been proposed, but failed for various reasons including over fears that they have too few limits, and could be used to spy on the general public.
United States Cyber Command components[edit]
United States Cyber Command[edit]
The United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) is a United States armed forces sub-unified command subordinate to United States Strategic Command. USCYBERCOM plans, coordinates, integrates, synchronizes and conducts activities to: direct the operations and defense of specified Department of Defense information networks and; prepare to, and when directed, conduct full spectrum military cyberspace operations in order to enable actions in all domains, ensure US/Allied freedom of action in cyberspace and deny the same to our adversaries."[19]
Army Cyber Command[edit]
The Army Cyber Command (ARCYBER) is an Army component command for the U.S. Cyber Command.[20] ARCYBER has the following components:
- Army Network Enterprise Technology Command / 9th Army Signal Command
- Portions of 1st Information Operations Command (Land)
- United States Army Intelligence and Security Command will be under the operational control of ARCYBER for cyber-related actions.[21][22][23]
Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command[edit]
United States Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command is a functional formation of the United States Marine Corps to protect infrastructure from cyberwarfare.[24]
The Navy Cyber Forces (CYBERFOR) is the type commander for the U.S. Navy's global cyber workforce. The headquarters is located at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. CYBERFOR provides forces and equipment in cryptology/signals intelligence, cyber, electronic warfare, information operations, intelligence, networks, and space. In September 2013, the United States Naval Academy will offer undergraduate students the opportunity to major in Cyber Operations.[25]
Twenty-Fourth Air Force[edit]
The Twenty-Fourth Air Force (24 AF) is a Numbered Air Force (NAF) with the United States Air Force (USAF). The USAF is consolidating its cyberspace combat forces into 24 AF.[26] The Twenty-Fourth Air Force, will be the Air Force component of United States Cyber Command (USCYBER). The 24AF has the following components:
United States Tenth Fleet[edit]
The United States Tenth Fleet is a functional formation of the United States Navy. It was first created as an anti submarine warfare coordinating organization during the Battle of the Atlantic in the Second World War. It has been reactivated as Fleet Cyber Command. The tenth fleet components are:
- Naval Network Warfare Command
- Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command
- Naval Information Operation Commands
- Combined Task Forces
- Systems in the US military and private research institutions were penetrated from March 1998 for almost two years in an incident called Moonlight Maze. The United States Department of Defense traced the trail back to a mainframe computer in the former Soviet Union but the sponsor of the attacks is unknown and Russia denies any involvement.
- Titan Rain was the U.S. government's designation given to a series of coordinated attacks on American computer systems since 2003. The attacks were labeled as Chinese in origin, although their precise nature (i.e., state-sponsored espionage, corporate espionage, or random hacker attacks) and their real identities (i.e., masked by proxy, zombie computer, spyware/virus infected) remain unknown.
- In 2007, the United States government suffered "an espionage Pearl Harbor" in which an unknown foreign power...broke into all of the high tech agencies, all of the military agencies, and downloaded terabytes of information.[27]
- In 2008, a hacking incident occurred on a U.S. Military facility in the Middle East. United States Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn III had the Pentagon release a document, which reflected a "malicious code" on a USB flash drive spread undetected on both classified and unclassified Pentagon systems, establishing a digital beachhead, from which data could be transferred to servers under foreign control. "It was a network administrator's worst fear: a rogue program operating silently, poised to deliver operational plans into the hands of an unknown adversary. This ... was the most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever and it served as an important wake-up call", Lynn wrote in an article for Foreign Affairs.[28]
- On 9 February 2009, the White House announced that it will conduct a review of the nation's cyber security to ensure that the Federal government of the United States cyber security initiatives are appropriately integrated, resourced and coordinated with the United States Congress and the private sector.[29]
- On 1 April 2009, U.S. lawmakers pushed for the appointment of a White House cyber security "czar" to dramatically escalate U.S. defenses against cyber attacks, crafting proposals that would empower the government to set and enforce security standards for private industry for the first time.[30]
- On 7 April 2009, The Pentagon announced they spent more than $100 million in the last six months responding to and repairing damage from cyber attacks and other computer network problems.[31]
- In December 2009 through January 2010, a cyber attack, dubbed Operation Aurora, was launched from China against Google and over 20 other companies.[32] Google said the attacks originated from China and that it would "review the feasibility" of its business operations in China following the incident. According to Google, at least 20 other companies in various sectors had been targeted by the attacks. McAfee spokespersons claimed that "this is the highest profile attack of its kind that we have seen in recent memory."[33]
- In February 2010, the United States Joint Forces Command released a study which included a summary of the threats posed by the internet: "The open and free flow of information favored by the West will allow adversaries an unprecedented ability to gather intelligence."[34]
- On 19 June 2010, United States Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT) introduced a bill called "Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act of 2010",[35] which he co-wrote with Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) and Senator Thomas Carper (D-DE). If signed into law, this controversial bill, which the American media dubbed the "Kill switch bill", would grant the President emergency powers over parts of the Internet. However, all three co-authors of the bill issued a statement that instead, the bill "[narrowed] existing broad Presidential authority to take over telecommunications networks".[36]
- In August 2010, the U.S. for the first time is publicly warning about the Chinese military's use of civilian computer experts in clandestine cyber attacks aimed at American companies and government agencies. The Pentagon also pointed to an alleged China-based computer spying network dubbed GhostNet that was revealed in a research report last year.[37] The Pentagon stated that the People's Liberation Army was using "information warfare units" to develop viruses to attack enemy computer systems and networks, and those units include civilian computer professionals. Commander Bob Mehal would monitor the PLA's buildup of its cyberwarfare capabilities and "will continue to develop capabilities to counter any potential threat."[38] In response to these and other clandestine cyber attacks by China, Amitai Etzioni of the Institute for Communitarian Policy Studies has suggested that China and the United States should agree to a policy of mutually assured restraint with respect to cyberspace. This would involve allowing both states to take the measures they deem necessary for their self-defense while simultaneously agreeing to refrain from taking offensive steps; it would also entail vetting these commitments.[39]
- In 2010, American General Keith B. Alexander endorsed talks with Russia over a proposal to limit military attacks in cyberspace, representing a significant shift in U.S. policy.[40]
- In 2011 as part of The Anonymous attack on HBGary Federal information about private companies such as Endgame systems who design offensive software for the Department of Defense were revealed. It was shown that Endgame systems job applicants had previously "managed team of 15 persons, responsible for coordinating offensive computer network operations for the United States Department of Defense and other federal agencies."[41]
- In October 2012, the Pentagon was to host contractors who "want to propose revolutionary technologies for understanding, planning and managing cyberwarfare. It is part of an ambitious program that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, calls Plan X, and the public description talks about 'understanding the cyber battlespace', quantifying 'battle damage' and working in DARPA's 'cyberwar laboratory.'"[42]
- Starting in September 2012, denial of service attacks, were carried out against the New York Stock Exchange and a number of banks including J.P. Morgan Chase.[43] Credit for these attacks was claimed by a hacktivist group called the Qassam Cyber Fighters[44] who have labeled the attacks Operation Ababil. The attacks had been executed in several phases and were restarted in March 2013.[45]
- In August 2014, "gigabytes" of sensitive data were reported stolen from JPMorgan Chase, and the company's internal investigation was reported to have found that the data was sent to a "major Russian city." The FBI was said to be investigating whether the breach was in retaliation for sanctions the United States had imposed on Russia in relation to the 2014 Russian military intervention in Ukraine.[46][47]
- On 29 May 2014, iSIGHT Partners uncovered a "long-term" and "unprecedented" cyber espionage that was "the most elaborate cyber espionage campaign using social engineering that has been uncovered to date from any nation". Labelled "Operation Newscaster", it targeted senior U.S. military and diplomatic personnel, congresspeople, journalists, lobbyists, think tankers and defense contractors, including a four-star admiral.[48]
- In December 2014, Cylance Inc. published an investigation on so-called "Operation Cleaver" which targeted over 50 world's unnamed leading enterprises, including in United States. Federal Bureau of Investigation tacitly acknowledged the operation and "warned businesses to stay vigilant and to report any suspicious activity spotted on the companies' computer systems".[49][50]
- In 2015 the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was victim to what has been described by federal officials as among the largest breaches of government data in the history of the United States,[51] in which an estimated 21.5 million records were stolen. Information targeted in the breach included personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers,[52]as well as names, dates and places of birth, and addresses,[53] and likely involved theft of detailed background security-clearance-related background information.

The Blog
11:00 PM, Dec 29, 1996 • By JOHN PODHORETZ
Hollywood loves "high-concept movies," films whose plots can be summarized in a single phrase, like "dinosaurs come back to life in an amusement park." So besotted is the motionpicture industry with the high-concept approach that many movies no longer even need plots at all, only titles -- Twister, for example, not to mention the upcoming Volcano and Titanic. The plot of the new Tom Cruise movie Jerry Maguire can be captured in a simple phrase: "Sports agent undergoes personal crisis." True, that doesn't sound like much, especially considering that Jerry Maguire lasts well over two hours.
It is. Jerry Maguire is the best American film of the year, maybe of the last few years. Nothing that happens in Jerry Maguire is predictable - - -not a plot development, not a joke, not even a camera angle. It seems like decades since a mainstream American movie devoid of special effects or a fantastical storyline has been able to surprise us, to show us something new. It is even more remarkable that the first one to do so in memory stars Tom Cruise, the biggest box-office draw in motion pictures, giving a revelatory performance.
The wondrously deafening explosion you hear as you watch Jerry Maguire is the sound of the most tiresome Hollywood cliches of the last 20 years being atomized. The first surprise writer-director Cameron Crowe springs on us comes in the opening sequence. Usually, movies about the moral transformation of a jerk spend half an hour proving what the audience knows in 30 seconds: The main character is a completely inauthentic liar who gets his way with charm and guile. Rather than belabor the point for 45 minutes, as other movies would -- and thereby make us love the inauthentic man and hate the reformed sinner whose goodness is then shoved down our throats for the remainder of the movie -- Crowe manages to get us through this part with dazzling speed.
At a weekend getaway for sports agents, among whom he is a king, Jerry Maguire mistakes a bout of food poisoning for a crisis of conscience and bats out a 25-page manifesto in his hotel room about the moral degeneration of his business. He has the document printed up and delivered to every sports agent in the hotel. But once his illness clears, so does his conscience, and Jerry tries to get the copies of his manifesto back. Too late: He receives a standing ovation from his colleagues as he walks through the hotel lobby -- among them a gawky accountant in his firm named Dorothy (the breathtaking Renee Zellweger) so dazzled by his newfound moral authority that she immediately falls in love with him. Jerry thinks he's dodged a bullet and returns to Los Angeles to enjoy his life with a beautiful and chilly fiancee (Kelly Preston) and a vast collection of friends who are, of course, anything but.
A few days later he is brutally fired by his one-time protege -- and, in a spectacular depiction of an economic war conducted in one afternoon's time over the telephone, loses all his clients but one. Jerry is suddenly friendless and alone save for Dorothy, who impulsively agrees to come work for him even though she is a single mother of a five-year-old boy.
That's just the first 15 minutes of Jerry Maguire -- and it is only at this point that the movie begins in earnest. What will Jerry Maguire be like now that he has been laid low? Crowe offers no simple answer. The new Jerry proves both kind and desperately selfish toward Dorothy, who becomes his lover when his engagement ends. He behaves like a coward, especially when dealing with his last remaining client, a money-grubbing, petulant, but exuberant wide receiver limned by the supercharged young actor Cuba Gooding, Jr. (The wide receiver's relatives come to play an important part in the story, and in their scenes Crowe offers an astonishingly sensitive and unusually honest depiction of a black family.)

Driver profile: Romain Grosjean
Romain Grosjean is having a second bite at F1 after a half-season alongside Fernando Alonso at this team in 2009, when it was called Renault, and this time he is making a rather better fist of it.
Grosjean's stats and facts
- Team: Lotus
- Team-mate: Kimi Raikkonen
- Previous teams: Renault
- Nationality: French
- Born: 17/04/1986, Geneva, Switzerland
- Grand Prix debut: European (Valencia) 2009
On occasion, Grosjean got within spitting distance of Alonso, but overall the comparison between their performances was not flattering for the novice. The result was Grosjean was dropped at the end of the season.
But two years in GP2, including winning the championship, allied to his manager and Lotus team boss Eric Boullier keeping the faith, led to his return.
Helped no doubt by a user-friendly car that has proved quick out of the box and at most circuits, Grosjean has impressed with his turn of pace.
Less impressive were the string of accidents he became involved in early in the season the prevented him scoring what promised to be some seriously good results.
On balance, though, Grosjean has out-paced his illustrious team-mate Kimi Raikkonen and appears to be in the process of carving himself a decent career.

Former Columbus Superintendent Scrutized For Possible Involvement in Data-Rigging
The Columbus data rigging investigation continues to expand as the Ohio Department od Education subpoenas records pertaining to former school superintendent Gene Harris. The Columbus Dispatch reports the Ohio Department of Education subpoenaed records on Harris and 60 other current and former Columbus schools educators Monday. It's the first time the Department has sought information that could shed light as to whether Harris was involved in data-rigging in the district. Other Columbus City Schools employees are accused of falsifying students' records to improve their schools' standing on state report cards.

Budget Primer
Overview of fund sources
Types of funds
The remainder comes from philanthropy (current gifts as well as endowment income), grants and contracts, and revenue-generating activities such as income from auxiliary enterprises (housing and dining, for example, or educational activities we provide as a service to the public). Finally, we have a small amount of other miscellaneous sources that include gift fees and interest on temporary cash balances.
Fund group characteristics
State general funds
Funds provided by the State of California are called "state general funds" and include both a $450 million basic operating support allocation that covers about 25 percent of our activities and several allocations from the state to support specific research projects. These two types of funds combined make up about $500 million per year, or about 28 percent of our total operating budget.
Note that in some official budget documents, a total state-fund figure may be used that includes education-fee funds paid by students, nonresident tuition paid by students who have not established residency in the State of California, and a share of research funds received by the campus. These are campus-originated "general" funds that, like state general funds, provide support for our core mission. When included in a budget report, these campus-raised dollars are called UC general funds to distinguish them from the state general funds that are allocated directly from state sources. In this primer we refer to state general funds as the subset of funds that originate from the state itself.
Permanent and temporary funds
Campus managers often refer to fund sources as being either permanent or temporary. The label "permanent funds" is given to the subset of Berkeley's total operating budget that is expected to recur on an annual basis. Approximately $1.2 billion of the $1.8 billion annual budget is considered to be permanent in this way, and includes fund allocations from the State of California as well as student fees and revenues from auxiliary enterprises such as housing, dining, and parking, and the interest that is earned from endowments that are held by the regents on Berkeley's behalf. The subset of temporary funds, approximately $600 million, consists of allocations that are not expected to recur, most notably awards from contracts and grants and gifts from donors.

First and foremost is the fact that you need to plant your Plumeria in a
fast draining soil mix. The easiest way to create an effective mix is to mix up 50% regular
soil and 50% sand. Even better is 1/3 soil, 1/3 sand and 1/3 perilite. Another
easy way to ensure a good soil mix without the work is to use Cactus mix from
the nursery.
After you have your soil mix, put it in a 1 or 2 gallon plastic pot. Do not use clay as the roots will stick to the clay material.
Soak the soil until water is draining out the bottom of the pot. Stick your Plumeria cutting into the soil to a dept of 3 inches. Pull the cutting out. Now take your cutting and sprinkle rooting hormone on the very bottom. It is not necessary to use a hormone but it can help the rooting process go a little faster. Now stick the cutting back into the hole trying not to rub off too much of the powder in the process. Now pack the soil down so it is firm, this will help support your cutting and keep it from falling over until it has roots.
Here is a tip to help keep the cutting from falling over or accidently hitting it and tipping it over. Place several large stones around the base of the cutting for the first couple of months until the plant has a good root system. A rooted cutting should stand well enough on its own.
Now it is time to wait, watch and anticipate. You should begin to see some small leaves begin
to develop after 4 to 8 weeks. During this time it is very important to only water the cutting
once the soil has become very dry. Water sparingly during this time, just dampen
the soil at most. We suggest wetting the soil a little about once every 10 days.
Cuttings will develop stem rot if they are kept wet. Since they do not
have roots there is nothing to suck up the moisture and the soil remains wet. Let the soil dry out
completely (and stay dry for several days) before lightly wetting again. Unless you have heat mats and florescent lighting, it is recommended
not to root your cutting until the late spring. It should be at least 60 degrees at night before you
attempt to root. Cuttings can be kept in the pantry or a closet for many months and still grow once
planted. Rooted cutting are ok to plant in colder temps. They will just remain
dormant until the weather warms.
Once the cutting has 3 or 4 medium size leaves you can begin to water sparingly. Again, Plumeria do not like 'wet feet' so don't keep the soil wet constantly. After each watering let the soil become somewhat dry before watering again. In mid summer this may mean watering every day! During rainy periods or spring you may only need to water once a week or less.
Once the plant has 5 or 6 well developed, large leaves you should begin to feed your Plumeria with fertilizer. A product high in Phosphorous will promote flowering and branching. Look for a fertilizer with 10-50-10. You should feed the Plumeria 2 times a month. Your Plumeria will not flower without fertilizer and lots of sun, at least 6 hours of direct sun light.
Plumeria like temperatures between 60 at night and 90 or so during the day. Once the night time temps get into the 50's the plant will begin to go dormant. It will begin to drop its leaves and will not grow during this time. Stop fertilizing your plant in late September and slowly reduce watering around October. By the time the temps begin dipping into the 40's you should bring your plant indoors or into a sheltered location like the garage where the temps will remain above freezing. Temps approaching 32 degrees will kill your Plumeria. During the dormant period DO NOT WATER YOUR PLANT. Plumeria do not need water during this time. In fact you can cause stem rot if the soil is kept wet during this period.
Once the spring comes back around and temps creep back into the upper 50s at night you can put your little tree back outside and begin to slowly water as leaves resume growing.
So you can see that Plumeria do not require lots of constant care. Just keep them watered, out of the cold and feed them 2 times a month. By caring for them in this way they will reward you with quick growth and lots of beautiful and wonderfully fragrant flowers.

I agree. Setting all the downs and distance is a pain.
Posted by norbert on 2/15/2013 1:40:00 PM (view original):I definitely think this will get added, but wanted to get feedback on where we think this makes the most sense. Do you think being able to copy one Play slot to another Play slot would be enough? Or do we need to copy one Down to another?
What do you guys think about being able to (having to) set every down's setting before saving? Should it be the old way where you can only save one down at a time? It's possible you could save an incomplete playbook due to the changes, but we could work around that.

Spitzer discusses financial ethics during Briloff lecture
New York state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer will discuss "Ethics in Financial Markets" Tuesday, October 28, during the 18th lecture of the Abraham J. Briloff Lecture Series on Accounting and Society.
Spitzer, whose lecture will take place at 3:30 p.m. in the Anderson Center Concert Theater, was invited to take part in the series because of his commitment to ethical business practices.
The attorney general has investigated conflicts of interest on Wall Street and has led lawsuits against Midwest and Mid-Atlantic power companies.
The lecture series, which has been offered for 15 years, often has members of the accounting profession and the business and campus communities gather to contemplate extremely important topics of business ethics.
Briloff, who was named the first presidential professor and awarded an honorary doctorate degree from the University, has served as an ethical conscience for the business and accounting professions.
Through his writings and lectures, Briloff emphasized the need for ethical business practices and influenced others to make the highest ethical standards the basis of their work.
A reception will follow at 5 p.m. in the President?s Reception Room. For more information, contact 777-2314.
Chemistry professor to explain sensor research
Omowunmi A. Sadik will present "Intelligent Chemical and Biological Sensors: From Cancer Detection to Bioterrorism Applications' at 2 p.m. October 22, in the FA-Casadesus, as part of the Dean's Distinguished Lecture.
Sadik, BU associate professor of chemistry, is leading the way in developing chemical and biological sensors. She will discuss the patented innovations in chemical and biosensors technologies and how they detect the presence and/or quantity or multiple analytes, including organic vapors, toxins, metals, nucleic acids and proteins.
As the nation deals with increasing threats from chemical and biological weapons from terrorist organizations, scientists and government agencies are interested in tools that can be used to detect and effectively combat biochemical warfare agents.
Sadik will discuss the advances made in her laboratories in the last couple of years, as well as ongoing collaborations with Cornell University, Harvard University and other institutions.
She is currently a visiting professor and distinguished fellow of the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University.
New browser software for BearCat catalog introduced
The new version of the University Libraries' web-based catalog, BearCat, has been introduced and now provides a more advanced and functional design with many improvements for users, libraries officials said.
Some older software has been found to be incompatible with the new catalog. Version of Netscape (for windows) below 6.0 will no longer work with BearCat. This includes Netscape 4.79, which is still widely used on campus due to its prevalence with the local Oracle human resources and financials systems.
Members of the campus community who use Netscape 4.7, should either upgrade to a newer version or Netscape 7.1, or install Internet Explorer 6.0 as a second browser.
BearCat supports a world language character set standard called unicode. This font allows the display of library materials in many languages and includes non-Roman data such as Chinese and Arabic.
For more information of how to download browser software, visit library.lib.binghamton.edu/webdocs/techproblems.html or call Dave Vose at 777-4907.

The Trish Stratuses
Don't get me wrong, I would drive a Trish Stratus *rim shot, bicycle horn*. She was always great eye candy, and boy could she wrestle (and pillow fight), but she was always the overrated second fiddle to Torrie Wilson (and some could even argue Stacy Keibler, but I would turn up my nose at such a notion). These guys certainly have (and in one case had) the potential, but they're just not at the top level.
5) Jimmy Graham – Big reach, right? I don't care. I want to put Graham at No. 1 since he helped me win my lone fantasy title last season. He wasn't a yard monster, but he had 4 TDs in his last 3 games, so he looks like he might have become a big end zone target for Drew Brees. If your TE gets you 6 or 7 points per week, then he's doing his job.
6) Vernon Davis – Even with Braylon Edwards in town, Davis is still the best receiving option in San Francisco, but Alex Smith is terrible and Colin Kaepernick can't be trusted. This is typically the guy that you'll be forced to take if you get sucked into the TE run.
7) Tony Gonzalez – I still love T-Gon, but Atlanta has so many options on offense now that his TDs will be limited. His reception total last season was his lowest since 1998, and his YPG was under 10 for the first time in his career. Swan song draft pick.
8) Zach Miller – For two years I've drafted Zach Miller while thinking, "This guy could be so good" and for two years I've ended the season thinking, "Get this guy on another team ASAP." Well, he's on another team now and my thoughts won't change.
