GREEN BAY – Scott Tolzien felt he'd made the right decision already, so his promotion to the 53-man roster Wednesday didn't validate his turning down a spot on the Cleveland Browns' roster to stay on the Green Bay Packers practice squad a few weeks ago.
Nevertheless, with starter Aaron Rodgers sidelined by a broken collarbone and veteran No. 2 quarterback Seneca Wallace set to start Sunday against Philadelphia, Tolzien was ecstatic about his opportunity. And while the Packers did give him a significant pay raise to stick around on the practice squad before Monday night's turn of events, Tolzien said he'd have felt good about his decision even if he'd have spent the rest of the year on the practice squad.
"I was comfortable here with the whole organization, top to bottom, from the front office to the players and the coaches. I'm pumped for the opportunity. It's up to me to prepare and perform," the former University of Wisconsin quarterback said Wednesday. "You don't want to say this is how you draw it up, but this is something that, and I don't want to be cliché, but you live for a moment like this. It's fortunate circumstances, but my focus right now is just to prepare, first and foremost. That's my priority. Putting in the time to be right when Sunday comes."
To this point, Tolzien's most extensive work has been in rigorous pregame workouts with quarterbacks coach Ben McAdoo. But now, he's one snap away from running the Packers' offense in a game that counts in the standings.
"I think every day counts, and that's whether it's Week 9 of the season like it is now, or Week 3 of OTAs, the 19th day of training camp. You really try to have tunnel vision in that regard and really trying to make the most of each day so that when an opportunity presents itself that you're ready to go," Tolzien said. "You just look at life in general and, really, each person can pick out different moments where you say, 'Man, that was a great opportunity.' I know, I'm aware that this is an opportunity here right now, but my focus is to simplify things and really focus on the preparation, and it all shoots out from there. That's my focus right now: preparing and putting in the time."
Tolzien, who spent the past two seasons and this summer's training camp with the San Francisco 49ers, said his understanding of the Packers' offense is a "work in progress" but praised Rodgers for spending extra time to help him get acclimated.
"He's been in this offense for a number of years so he knows it as well as anyone. At the same time, he knows the game through the quarterback's lens, which is huge, too. His perspective is of the utmost priority for me," Tolzien said. "He's been great for me and Seneca. … That's why we think so highly of him because he's the consummate leader.
"He congratulated me (on the promotion), but, really – and I'm honest here, he's always treated me (and) all these (practice-squad) guys like a member of the 53-man roster. That's why he's such a great leader. He treats the stars of our team the same way he treats the equipment staff. It doesn't matter. That just speaks volumes about Aaron as a leader."

I can't wait to try out the beta. I remember when this first arrived on the udk website. It's come a long way and you've done an awesome job!
Sanctum is the world's first FPS tower defense game and is set in a beautiful science fiction world. You take the role of Skye, an elite soldier sent out to protect her hometown, Elysion One, from hordes of mysterious alien creatures. To facilitate your success you construct defensive structures and upgrade handheld weapons. Jump right into the fray and wreak havoc with your own weapons - unlike regular tower defense games, you are a key part of the defense. Sanctum has taken the best features of first person shooters and tower defense games to create something totally unique.
Sanctum has had some big changes lately, and is getting closer to the beta which will go live in March. We now reveal some new details about the game, and give you a sneak peak through our brand new trailer!

If that album ever drops, I can see it making "biggest let downs in hip hop" lists. With this long a.ss wait, it would have to be revolutionary to justify the 6-7 year production period.

I think cats like Sai and Pap examples are more indicative of how lame the politics of the industry is rather than the actual talent of both said artists.
Sure their hunger might of died down, who wouldnt after going so hard and your album aint drop or was delayed for years, but I think its the fact, that the perception of them as artist has changed is more of their downfall, than them actually falling off.
Both of them are still capable of making the music that got them the buzz in the first place ppl just look at them and treat them differently and that chips away at their hunger and confidence.

Yeah I remember being excited about Papoose back in 06 but I feel like he sort of got lost in the sea of long white tee/throwback jersey and pinweel fitted over the eyes Smack DVD New York n*ggas. Like I feel like it mighta been different if he first was getting his name out 2 or 3 years earlier but when he came out I think that, despite his skill, it was hard for him to stand out. He was nice though.
As far as ya'll talking about Saigon I recently read an interview where he was talking about his album getting shelved for something like 4 years and the label not letting him record music elsewhere or leave for that time so it sorta fu*ked his chances all the way up. The politics in the music industry are atrocious.

yall dont remember this lol, Pap would have DID FINE in the mainstream.......like I said.....idiots in here dont know the politics or the industry.......they DID NOT want this dude to blow...he was kicking too much street knowledge and POSITIVE sh*t for the hood on his mixtapes.

Voices of Iraq
- Studio: Magnolia Pictures
- Release Date: Oct 29, 2004
Critic Reviews
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
By turns heartbreaking, amusing and disturbing, the film features people from different regions, economic classes and religions, recounting stories that are sometimes bleak, sometimes encouraging, but always compelling.
The overall effect is scintillating and very engaging -- literally history in the making.
If this film cannot claim to represent the political "truth" about the war - what film could? - it certainly provides a broad glimpse of daily life in Iraq.
In a season of proliferating issue-oriented documentaries, Voices of Iraq stands out by the sheer nature of its provenance: Iraqis themselves filmed the footage during a six-month period this year.
With Iraqis pointing cameras at each other, the result is cheerier than might be expected.
Fairly fascinating little documentary.
It's certainly important for American leftists to consider that many Iraqis have benefited from the war that we oppose, but the omission of historical context here misrepresents the checkered history of American involvement in the region.
The latest - and really last-minute - documentary hoping to affect the presidential election is a deceptively partisan view of the Iraq War.

Abramovich Considers Battersea Power Station, Telegraph Reports
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club, has discussed with the lenders to Battersea Power Station about taking control of the site in London, the Sunday Telegraph reported, without saying where it got the information.
Abramovich explored moving the soccer club and creating a leisure and retail complex alongside a new stadium at the site, the newspaper said. The discussions, which took place earlier this year, are not currently active, the paper said.
Real Estate Opportunities, the owner of the power station, said it's close to announcing a deal with an alternative foreign investor who would purchase the debt related to the site, the Telegraph reported.
A spokesman for Ireland's National Asset Management Agency, a leading lender to the power station, declined to comment, according to the newspaper.

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at Rabobank noted that the publication of the minutes of the Bank of England's August MPC meeting confirmed that two members of the nine person committee voted in favour of a rate hike this month.
Key Quotes:
"Sterling, however, saw little sustained reaction. Even though it appears that the Bank is edging closer to the first rate hike of the cycle, the arguments made by the doves are compelling".
"Since the August meeting took place both wage inflation and CPI inflation data releases have been weaker than expected".
"We remain of the view that the BoE will not hike rates until May 2015, at the earliest. That said, we retain a preference to sell EUR/GBP on rallies on the back of weak Eurozone data and the risk that the ECB will continue to threaten further monetary policy accommodation".

As a new string of youth activists have shown, you're never too young or inexperienced to start making a difference in your community. HuffPost Impact is proud to detail the stories of the following young people, dedicating their time and energy in service to others.
Vote on who you think is the biggest difference-maker!
An advocate for homeless youth, Bonner created the Little Red Wagon Foundation, and plans to walk 2,300 miles across America next year to raise awareness.
Adopted at age three out of her native Peru, 17-year-old Ana Dodsen grew up privileged in the U.S. However, her Peruvian roots always beckoned her, and at 11, her adopted parents took her back to visit the land she barely remembered. Devastated by the poverty she saw in Peruvian orphanages, Dodsen founded Peruvian Hearts, an organization that provides much needed support and supplies to needy children in Peru. Dodsen has spoken in front of the UN and her work has been featured on CNN.
At age 16 in 2001, Shuyler founded AfricAid, an organization aimed at improving girls' education in Africa. She's since raised nearly $700,000 to support these efforts and won pretty much every youth service award imaginable.
The daughter of Three Cups of Tea author Greg Mortenson, Amira produced the Three Cups of Tea CD, proceeds of which go to benefit Hand Me Down Some Silver, an organization that provides music education for young people. She also works with Pennies For Peace, which builds on the work started in the elder Mortenson's book to establish schools for women in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
During the Bush administration, Ava Lowery created Flash-based animations in protest of the Iraq War and other Republican policies. Now 19, she runs the site Peace Takes Courage, where she posts videos and blogs about ending violence.
When Emily saw the affect Asperger's Syndrome was having on her brother, she decided to take matters into her own hands and raise money for autism research. Follow her Twitter feed and find out where she'll be setting up her next lemonade stand (and it's sure to be at least slightly healthier than Kogi BBQ).
A modern day Renaissance Man, 13-year-old Bilaal Rajan has raised money for dozens of causes, including disaster relief, HIV/AIDS orphans, and schools for impoverished communities. To raise awareness for underprivileged young people, Rajan goes barefoot each year for National Volunteer Week. He was made an official UNICEF ambassador at age eight.

College graduates in a recession, hired at fire sale prices, may suffer economic scarring for the rest of their work lives.
Each time the jobless rate ratchets up one percentage point, graduates can get hit with an average initial wage loss of 6 percent to 7 percent, estimates Lisa Kahn at the Yale School of Management.
At the current jobless rate, "it's a fair estimate that the recession has reduced the average starting pay of recent grads by 10 to 20 percent," says economist Paul Oyer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Kahn also found that "even 15 years after college graduation, the wage loss is 2.5 percent and is still statistically significant" for those who entered the job market during high unemployment.A recession roadblock
A Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research study in 2008 found that 20 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds had left or delayed college because of family economic situations.The education premium
Each level of education beyond high school tends to promise greater lifetime earnings. Historically, the education premium means someone is more employable and less likely to suffer long-term joblessness. Average expected lifetime earnings:
High school dropout:$1 million
High school graduate:$1.2 million
Some college, no degree:$1.5 million
Associate degree:$1.6 million
Bachelor's degree:$2.1 million
Master's degree:$2.5 million
Doctoral degree:$3.4 million
Professional degree:$4.4 million Source: U.S. Census report

Institutional Myopia and Policy Distortions: The Promotion of Homeownership for the Poor
Meyer, Peter B., Yeager, Jerry, Burayidi, Michael A., Journal of Economic Issues
Housing is acknowledged to be a national problem in the United States. The precise nature of that problem, however, is largely unspecified--and certainly not an element of policy consensus. Most policies are directed at relatively short-term fixes, ranging from providing more shelter space to offering homeownership status to low- and moderate-income households. The myopic perspective of policymakers was well visible in the 1960s provision of loan subsidies to developers in return for inclusion of low- and moderate-income rental housing in their projects. That housing supply evaporated as the loans were paid off and the requirements lifted; this pattern is one source of the current crisis. The emphasis on homeownership evident in the federal policies that emerged in the 1980s similarly takes a short-term view [Stegman 1991].
An infusion of cash may be able to solve immediate acquisition problems and permit lower income households to attain ownership. The rhetorical rationale for the promotion of ownership is that it will improve the stability of housing tenure and increase residents' commitments to their dwelling places and communities [Silver 1990]. However, minimal institutional attention has been given to preservation of tenure over time. This short-term focus is inappropriate for policies directed at long investment decisions and is inconsistent with the avowed intent to stabilize tenure. Unfortunately, such a myopic perspective that defines the problem as one of attaining, not sustaining, ownership is consistent with, and inherent to, conformance to short-term private market pressures [National Association of Homebuilders 1986].
A core belief in "privatization" and the superior allocative and productive capacities of the private marketplace characterized the Reagan--Bush years. These perspectives led to the redirection of federal housing policies away from assuring a supply of low-cost housing to focus on efforts to promote homeownership for lower income households. Observers of these policies have commented on declines in the affordable housing supply and the growth in homelessness that accompanied them [van Vliet and van Weesep 1990].
This paper argues that the institutional assumptions that attainment of ownership status is tantamount to increased stability of tenure and maintenance of that status are false. The pervasive myopia is such that even federal non-housing policies (such as the eligibility criteria associated with federal income maintenance and medical assistance programs as currently administered) may act to inhibit low- and moderate-income homeownership. We begin our argument with a review of the patterns of income instability of low- and moderate-income households. Next, we examine the ability of low- and moderate-income households to predict their own housing mobility. Finally, we return to the institutional factors shaping a myopic view of the housing problem that ignores these issues and conclude with some suggestions for policy responses.
The Income Instability Facing Low- and Moderate-Income Households
Low- to moderate-income would-be homeowners confront several barriers to acquiring and maintaining their own homes. These include: (1) the down payment and closing costs, which require some asset base or assistance from other sources; (2) the monthly carrying costs (including mortgage, utility, insurance, and tax payments), which they have to cover out of their current income; and (3) unanticipated maintenance and repair costs, which they may not be prepared to address. Reflecting the pervasive institutional myopia, public and private efforts to assist low- and moderate-income households to enter into homeownership tend to focus on the first two cost elements and ignore the third.
This inadequate support system can place an inordinate burden on a homeowner over time. For example, if a water heater breaks down, the plumbing starts leaking, or a tree branch crashes through a roof, homeowners would be faced with emergency repairs. …

CHARLESTOWN — The Wastewater Management Commission is taking steps to update the town's wastewater ordinance (210) to bring technical references in line with current industry standards and the Department of Environmental Management's (DEM) terminology. The original ordinance was adopted in 1994.

Stop posting annoying comments
pcfilho stop spamming your skanky website mate, really annoying style. Its just a scam that trys to make you sighn up for stuff, just quit it champ.
Have you ever clicked in my links? I don't think so. I post real puzzles there, you go there if you wish. Before calling me a "spammer", why don't you check out my trophy gallery? You'll see I contributed a lot to this site, inviting many, many, many people to join it.
And yes, many people enjoy my puzzles and want me to continue posting them.
pcfilho is just been a little annoying, can hardly call this spamming, you could say hitchhiking, it's not great, but not bad either;
unless chess.com increase their level of quality, you'll be seeing more of pcfilho;
on the other hand I find those 'first page', 'easy', 'nice' etc, way more annoying, these could be called spam, 'cause I just want quality replies about the puzzle, and they discourage me from reading on and have nothing in them.
I suggest chess.com make an up-vote and down-vote for replies, and/or turn those low quality replies into like and dislike buttons.
very easy
its finaly easy

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach suing ESPN
Former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach has spent this football season commentating for CBS College Sports, hosting his own satellite radio show, and now flexing his lawyer muscles a little bit. Leach's lawyers filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against ESPN and Spaeth Communications for libel and slander, among other accusations. The suit focuses on ESPN College Football commentator Craig James, father of Adam James, who was at the center of Leach's firing at Texas Tech. Leach's camp is accusing James, ESPN, and Spaeth of actively conspiring to smear the coach's name in the wake of December's firing.
I may have my biases (Leach was kind enough to sit down with me back in October) but I do feel as though the former head coach of the Red Raiders was mistreated by the media during the time surrounding his dismissal. People may have their own opinions about how players should be treated, but there definitely appeared to be a distinct slant in the way the story was being reported by certain outlets. The success of the lawsuit is months away from determination, and some have called this a move of a "desperate man" searching for someone to blame. No matter who's side you take in this one, we can all agree that re-hashing the details of the Adam James incident will not be pleasant. For anyone.

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach suing ESPN
You're an idiot. It's no wonder you are still at "rookie" level with stupidity like that spewing from you! Any school that gets Mike Leach for a coach is a LUCKY, LUCKY, LUCKY, oh did I mention LUCKY, school! Have you not noticed what has happened to poor Texas Tech since he's been gone. What, are you Adam's boyfriend or something? No, wait.... you're Craig's lover? If anyone is a piece of "excrement" in this situation, it would be Adam, for being the big, whiny-butt girl, that he is. Then Craig, for not having the "marbles" to tell his daughter to "suck it up and be a man!" And let's not leave you, skreffty, out for taking the time to put your teeny tiny little brain cells into overdrive to muster up your little bit of nonsense!
Little Polly bird brain still calling names rather than offering stats, evidence, or even logical argumentation, but then again we already determined that you are a biased, non-objective homer who hates accountability. Still none of you apologists have answered the miliion dollar question as to why Leach feels rules don't apply to him, and that he can put concussed players in electrical closets? I must assume that when you came out of the closet you only hoped Leach would as well. Again, I don't understand the anger towards me because Leach said practice was imprtant than class. The dude said it. Period. And if you must know Pollyana, I got busted down to rookie for dropping eff-bombs during the Saints/Cleveland game tracker. Was it wight to do that? Like putting concussed players in locker rooms, no. The difference of course is that I realize I was wrong, and I accepted my punishment like a MAN with accountability and humility. Leach, who feels like the world owes him something, like a small child, did not accept his punishment for blatantly endangering the health of a young man. Try reading about the young man in Kansas that just died because he played with a concussion. I must truly question your character when you put winning abobe ALL OTHER PURSUITS, including healthm, integrity, and academics. Yes, the man can coach an offense. No, he can't teach young men to become something he is not, a man. No wonder you like him so much - birds of a feather.

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach suing ESPN
maybe nobody knows for sure every little detail about what transpired within the year leading up to the firing....but one thing is for certain...the evidence is overwhelmingly in Leach's favor...which is why Texas Tech is scared to death to let their lawsuit go to a trial by jury. And I also Hope that ESPN is held accountable for their mountain of lies!!

Most of these posts are pathetic. You all talk like you know what happened. We do not know what happened, We do know you will get different stories from different sources. NO one in here knows the truth so please do not act like you know it.

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach suing ESPN
Mike Leach is a football genius. He is also so quick-witted that some people just do not understand him (much like the great Shaq). If you contrast his down to earth, tell it like it is genius, with the plastic, dim-witted James family (and their supporters at ESPN), you can see hou Leach angered people and had a bull's eye placed on his back by the media.
So the "media" made the "genius" put concussed kids in electrical closets? Fail...

Former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach suing ESPN
skreffy that's simply a flat out lie! Oh and by the way... isn't it amzing Texas Tech consistently had the highest graduation rates among not only all Big 12 scholls but nationally as well!
You're a putz
How hard is to pass a test on finger-painting? Leach made the statement that football practice is more important that academics - not I. I believe Jim Harrick, the ultimate cheater and scumbag, also had artificialy high graduation rates as well. Yeah, Texas Tech is all about academics. Now about putting concussed players in closets, how does that help academics, or anything else? You homers need to grow up and understand that accountability is important. Thug Leach broke the law as well as common decency, and now he has paid the price. His lawsuit just tells us what we already know, that he feels he is bulletproof and not accountable since he as a football coach. Sorry punk Leach, the rules do indeed apply to you to. No one denies that the guy is a POS. And your name calling tells me you are as well. Have a nice day.

Oh, my goodness, Skreffty.............do you need your mommee and daddee to wipe your nose for you?
And this is why so many coaches out there are allowed to cheat and act like petty dictators, because of the aplogist attitudes of losers like kotex. They could care less about the health of a college kid as she didn't attend college herself. She just likes to make inane comments without a point. Please go take a nap little girl and give your mommy her computer back - these posts are for grown-ups.

A brief history of the John Hancock Tower
Globe archive
The Hancock hasn't always been a celebrated landmark. When plans for the building were first released, critics called it an "egotistical monument," "a monster," and an "outrage." In this Globe archive photo, the shell of the building is seen rising into the city's skyline.

Post a sample of your singing here or email me at email@example.com if you are interested. If you're an arranger as well, we can collaborate on the arrangement itself, since I am flexible. However, I would like to handle the final production on my own.
If you know someone who might be interested send them my way or send me their way.

Springy Hardwood? Check out This Chair
Made from reclaimed wood, the pieces of this chair are arranged in a way that actually makes them springy, as if there were a comfy cushion on top. The designer has used the same technique with other materials, even concrete. It's an interesting way to save materials and end up with something that looks different, too.

Honeymoon Packages in St. Barts
Intimate & Luxury, 5 Star Quality at the Le Sereno, St Barts
Nestled between a coconut grove and a coral reef, this hotel overlooks Grand Cul de Sac Beach on St. Barths northeast coast.
St Barts - A Caribbean Island Paradise Perfect for a Honeymoon
looking for a Caribbean Honeymoon that is off the beaten path? Tired of hearing about Sandals, the Bahamas and St Lucia? Maybe you might want to head to St Barts! It is simply the most beautiful island, and has great weather- This arid volcanic island of 8 miles has fabulous beaches as well as luxury yachts, designer boutiques, and celebrities?
How to get to St. Barts- fly or take a boat from St Martin.
The easiest and most comfortable way to get to St Barts is by airplane. A number of major airlines have regularly scheduled international flights into St Martin, a neighboring island to St Barts, with local companies providing the connecting flights to the island?s Gustave III Airport, located just five minutes drive from Gustavia. You can also get from St Martin to St Barts by boat, from a charter speedboat to daily ferry service.
There are fourteen beaches on St. Barths, all blessed with gleaming white sand. Few are crowded, even in peak season. All are public and free. Nudism is ostensibly prohibited; topless is not unusual.
For beaches with hotels, restaurants, and water sports, Grand Cul de Sac fits the bill, as does St. Jean, which is actually two beaches divided by the Eden Rock promontory. You can also see St.Jean Beach from our panoramic movie page.The beaches at Marigot and Lorient are secluded and quiet, favored on Sundays by island families.
QUAINT TOWNS AWAIT YOU IN ST BARTS- great shops, dining, and art await you
Shaped like a horseshoe around a small, sheltered harbor, and once protected by stone forts whose vestiges remain today, Gustavia remains a busy port, as was its original occupation.
stroll among glittering jewelry stores and designer boutiques or admire the restored facades of a few handsome wooden and stone buildings that remain from the Swedish era. You might also settle in for some people watching on the terrace of a waterfront café, or walk along the docks under the watchful eye of the pelicans and delight in the line-up of fabulous sea-going ?toys? anchored here. On the far side of the harbor, opposite the Rue du Bord-de-Mer, are more restaurants and businesses,

County officials are considering collecting oral histories from former residents of the Licking County Children's Home to preserve their memories.
The project is in the exploration stage, said Katy Klettlinger, Licking County Records Center and Archives coordinator. She said the histories would be collected in an audio format. They would be accessible to the public through her department and possibly online through the county's website.
"It just depends on how many we get and what our IT capabilities are," she said.
County Commissioner Tim Bubb said the county also might interview residents with ties to the historic Licking County Jail on South Third Street.
The commissioners plan to demolish the former Children's Home on East Main Street this summer, saying it is beyond repair and poses a safety hazard.

User talk:Raghavendra Rao PV
--Raghavendra Rao PV 03:59, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
1. Security Testing - An Overview
Developers are under strict timelines to complete the project. Hence developers concentrate more on the development activities than implementing security features in the application.
Testers concentrate more on the functional testing aspects and are less aware of testing applications specific to security controls.
Information Technology industry required a new breed of testers who could identify the security threats in their application and assist them in overcoming the security threats. Some of the skilled people enhanced their testing knowledge and concentrated more towards the security aspects. This group of skilled testers were coined as Security Testers/Advisors/Consultants/Experts.
Security Testing in the recent past has been considered as one of the critical stages of Software Development Life Cycle [SDLC] and Customers/Organizations/Clients/Vendors are insisting the Software Development Organizations to conduct a thorough round of security tests on their applications and comply to a Industry Standard. The Industry Standard is either:
1. Custom: Defined by the requesting Organization -or- 2. Public: As per the Software Development Organization or any Open Source Industry Standard.
Industry Standards/Guidelines play an important role in addressing the Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability [CIA] of information to the right person at the right time.
2. Security Testing - The Beginning
Data or information can be globally accessed by individuals through the Internet. Depending on the criticality levels, data may be classified as: Critical, Highly Confidential, Confidential or Public. Such data/information residing at the servers will be managed by an Administrator or a group of administrators.
Web Applications designed and developed by an organization too serves a similar purpose and data classification approach.
1. Showcase the capabilities of the organization 2. Grant access to internal users/employees 3. Grant access to external users/customers
Customers/Organizations are at a constant risk of their sensitive data being exploited by unwanted users. Such users pose a threat to organizations by identifying loopholes/vulnerabilities in the web applications and exposing these vulnerabilities on the Internet. Doing so will bring down the reputation of these organizations in the show business. Hence to summarize, the major risks associated by showcasing an organizations information on the Internet can be considered to be:
1. Threat of misuse by individuals 2. Reputation of the organization
There came an urge to protect sensitive information from being disclosed out in the public via Internet. Individuals/Customers/Clients/Organizations started demanding the development community to build them SECURE softwares to overcome the already existing list of attack scenarios. Developers had to incorporate security controls while developing any software. Since most of the developers are unaware of security consequences nor given on the job training's for building a secure software, there came a specialized group of Testers/Analysts/Consultants/Experts whose major role in the Organization is to identify security loopholes in the software and assist the developers in fixing them.
--Raghavendra Rao PV (talk) 04:44, 24 January 2014 (CST)
3. Need for Security Testing
Security Testing was once considered as an add-on or an additional team for approval before moving the application to Production environment. Applications which lacked security controls were the soft-targets for unintended users/hackers.
There exist various types of Hackers:
1. Black Hat 2. White Hat 3. Gray Hat 4. Suicide Hackers
These hackers identified various security loopholes in such applications and started gathering sensitive information relating to the application Customers/Users which includes their Personal Information (Name, Address, Date of Birth, PAN, etc.) and any financial information (depending on the type of information stored by the application). Such incidents when made public by these hackers, had an adverse effect on these application owners/developers/hosting parties.
Members of Security Team across the globe, from various Non-Profitable Organisations [NTOs] stepped forward and formed different forums to educate Application Owners/Developers/Hosting parties the need for Security Testing. Some of the forums include:
a. OWASP b. CVE c. PCI-DSS d. HIPPA e. NIST f. and so on.
--Raghavendra Rao PV (talk) 07:32, 07 January 2015 (CST)
4. Domain Specific Industry Standards
Various Domain specific Industry Standards exist which helps Organizations choose.
Following are the list of Domain to Industry Standard mapping which can be considered:
1. HealthCare: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) 2. Banking Financial Institutes and Services (BFSI): Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) 3. Investors Protection: Sarbanes Oxley Act (SOX)
On a need basis, Organizations can opt the following:
1. OWASP Top Ten Vulnerabilities or 2. SANS Top 25 Programming Errors
5. Current Trend
Writers Note: In the recent past, I received calls from Organizations who are interested in my 'Security Testing Framework' and want to develop a similar framework in their Organization / Practice.
With the recent trend, seems like Organizations are willing to invest on Security Advisors who have a quality development experience and who can develop a security framework which identifies vulnerabilities based on custom-defined Perl Scripts. The strategy could be to eliminate the use of Commercial tools (thus saving huge amount on the tool license cost) or other open source tools and to attract Customers with custom-built security testing frameworks.

Discussion of the city's upcoming capital projects at the Tuesday, Aug. 21, Saratoga Springs City Council meeting turned into a debate on the cost and necessity of a new public safety building to house police and court staff.
A public hearing on the city's capital program budget was held before the meeting. The budget calls for $25.8 million for improvements in the 2008 budget, $17.7 million in 2009 and $19.9 million in 2010 before dropping down to $2.4 million in 2011.
During the public hearing, city residents questioned why the entire $17 million for the public safety building was in next year's budget proposal when the city hasn't even decided on a site.
There's no way we're going to spend all $17 million next year, said resident Charlie Morrison.
Commissioner of Accounts John Franck said he believed the only way the city could afford the public safety building was if the council again raised the bonding limit. Last year, the city raised its bonding limit from 1 to 2 percent of the five-year average assessed value of real property in the city. That new bonding limit equates to about $49.81 million. The city currently has nearly $24 million in outstanding debt, so the city would have to use most of its remaining available bonding for the $25.8 million 2008 capital program.
Franck said the city would probably have to increase its bonding limit to 4 percent.
"It can't be done any other way," he said. "This is Monopoly money. We can't afford to do this. We are mortgaging our children's future."
Mayor Valerie Keehn made her thoughts on the subject known through a written statement issued the day before the meeting.
"Just as we must invest to secure a sound and prosperous future for our families, we must invest to secure a sound and prosperous future for our community," she said. "No caring community or responsible government can continue to ignore the conditions in which our police, emergency service dispatchers and civilian safety employees labor. The environment is unsafe, unhealthy and unsanitary. Nor can we continue to ignore the real problems which inadequate space for even essential police functions, crime victim interviews, evidence handling and storage present. Not to act now will only delay " and make more costly " the inevitable."
