Paranoid Penguin - Introduction to SELinux
SELinux, the NSA's powerful implementation of mandatory access controls for Linux, can seem like a daunting technology. It's got a lot of moving parts that are labeled (pun intended) with arcane, acronym-intensive terminology, adding some very dense layers of abstraction over Linux's already-abstract architecture. To compound the problem, much of SELinux's documentation seems to have been written by security geeks for security geeks.
Well, people say all that and worse about LDAP too, but as with LDAP (which we covered in this column in the July, August and September 2003 issues of LJ), you can make SELinux do what you need it to do if you learn some basic concepts, become familiar with a modestly sized list of terms and study some representative policy files.
In this month's column, we discuss SELinux basics. We begin with SELinux's general design goal; introduce the concepts of SELinux subjects, permissions and objects, and how they fit into security contexts; and tie those ideas together in a discussion of Type Enforcement.
Believe me, that's plenty to start off with! We'll save actual SELinux configuration for subsequent columns. But, if you have an urgent need to get something working on an SELinux-enabled system, see the on-line Resources for this article.
So, precisely what problem are we trying to solve with SELinux? Nothing less than the entire security-patch rat race!
As I've said previously in this space, Linux security often seems to boil down to a cycle of researchers and attackers discovering new security vulnerabilities in Linux applications and kernels; vendors and developers scrambling to release patches, with attackers wreaking havoc against unpatched systems in the meantime; and hapless system administrators finally applying that week's or month's patches, only to repeat the entire trail of tears soon afterward. This is the security-patch rat race, and it's unwinnable. There will always be zero-day (as-yet-unpatched) vulnerabilities.
That's why I've spent so much ink over the years extolling techniques such as virtualizing servers, creating chroot jails, running processes as unprivileged users and using mandatory access controls, all of which limit the effects of zero-day vulnerabilities. SELinux, like Novell AppArmor, is a mandatory access control implementation that doesn't prevent zero-day attacks, but it's specifically designed to contain their effects.
Why is the patch rat race unwinnable? Because in Linux's default Discretionary Access Control (DAC) model, each process runs with the privileges of whichever user starts (or, sometimes, owns) it—that is, all of that user's privileges. If an attacker compromises any process running as root, or escalates a compromised process to root privileges, the attacker can do anything root can do, even when that action has nothing whatsoever to do with the process' intended function.
For example, suppose I have a dæmon called blinkend that is running as the user someguy, and this dæmon is hijacked by an attacker. blinkend's sole function is to make a keyboard LED blink out jokes in Morse code, so you might think, well, the worst the attacker can do is blink some sort of insult, right? Wrong. The attacker can do anything the someguy account can do, which might include everything from executing the Bash shell to mounting CD-ROMs.
Under SELinux, however, the blinkend process would run in a narrowly defined domain of activity that would allow it to do its job (blinking the LED, possibly reading jokes from a particular text file, and so forth). In other words, blinkend's privileges would not be determined based on its user/owner; rather, they would be determined by much more narrow criteria. Provided blinkend's domain was sufficiently strictly defined, even a successful attack against the blinkend process would, at worst, result in naughty Morse-code blinking.
That, in a nutshell, is the problem SELinux was designed to solve.
I'm going to assume you understand how Discretionary Access Controls, aka plain-old filesystem permissions, work in Linux. If you don't, I covered this topic in the October and November 2004 issues of Linux Journal, in the two-part series "Linux Filesystem Basics" (see Resources).
Suffice it to say that even under SELinux, the Linux DACs still apply. If the ordinary Linux permissions on a given file block a particular action (for example, user A attempting to write file B), that action still will be blocked, and SELinux won't bother evaluating that action. But, if the ordinary Linux permissions allow the action, SELinux will evaluate the action against its own security policies before allowing it to occur.
So, how does SELinux do this? The starting point for SELinux seems similar to the DAC paradigm: it evaluates actions attempted by subjects against objects.
In SELinux, subjects are always processes. This may seem counterintuitive. Aren't subjects sometimes end users? Not exactly—users execute commands (processes). SELinux naturally pays close attention to who or what executes a given process, but the process itself, not the human being who executed it, is considered to be the subject.
In SELinux, we call actions permissions, just like we do in the Linux DAC. The objects that get acted on, however, are different. Whereas in the Linux DAC model, objects always are files or directories, in SELinux, objects include not only files and directories but also other processes and various system resources in both kernel space and user land.
SELinux differentiates between a wide variety of object classes (categories)—dozens, in fact. You can read the complete list on the Web site "An Overview of Object Classes and Permissions" (see Resources). Not surprisingly, file is the most commonly used object class. Other important object classes include the following:
Each object class has a particular set of possible permissions (actions). This makes sense. There are things you can do to directories, for example, that simply don't apply to, say, X servers. Each object class may have both inherited permissions that are common to other classes (for example, read), plus unique permissions that apply only to it. Just a few of the unique permissions associated with the dir class are as follows:
Don't be frustrated by my not explaining these class names or actions; at this point you don't need to understand them for their own sake. I'm simply illustrating that SELinux goes much, much further than Linux DAC's simple model of users, groups, files, directories and read/write/execute permissions.
As you might guess, SELinux would be impossible to use if you had to create an individual rule for every possible action by every possible subject against every possible object. SELinux gets around this in two ways: 1) by taking the stance "that which is not expressly permitted, is denied" and 2) by grouping subjects, permissions and objects in various ways. Both of these points have positive and negative ramifications.
The "default deny" stance allows you to have to create rules/policies that describe only the behaviors you expect and want, instead of all possible behaviors. It's also, by far, the most secure design principle any access control technology can have. However, it also requires you to anticipate all possible allowable behavior by (and interaction between) every dæmon and command on your system.
This is why the "targeted" SELinux policy in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and Fedora Core 3 actually implements what amounts to a "restrict only these particular services" policy, giving free rein to all processes not explictly covered in the policy. No, this is not the most secure way to use SELinux, and it's not even the way SELinux was originally designed to be used. But as we'll see, it's a justifiable compromise on general-purpose systems.
The upside of SELinux's various groupings (roles, types/domains, contexts and so on) is, obviously, improved efficiency over always having to specify individual subjects, permissions and objects. The downside is still more terminology and layers of abstraction. Alas, with power comes complexity.
So, how does SELinux group subjects, permissions and objects?

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

... And Guarding My Keyboard From Evil
by Debra Nussbaum Cohen
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
Last year, when Andy Shoenig did a Google search for NFTY, the North American Federation of Temple Youth which he then led as president, what he found shocked him: lots of entries on social networking sites like MySpace and FaceBook that referred to the Reform movement's youth group, and also included gossip and references to drinking and sex at its gatherings. In fact, a simple Google search this week found this entry on MySpace.com: "north american federation of temple youth or the best damn jew fest for reform youth around...aka a hook up fest...nftyites know how to party and take this very seriously...shabbat is greeted with serious song sessions and dancing...and if you get lucky hooking up..." So Shoenig, currently a sophomore at Emory University, took action. Last June, when 127 members of NFTY's national board walked into their annual training retreat, the walls were papered with some 5,000 pieces of paper printed out from the social networking Web sites that made reference to NFTY. It was an eye-opening experience for participants, who are the presidents and board members of NFTY's 19 regions. "Some people saw their stuff on the walls and it was clear to them how public it is. A few people went and deleted their MySpaces and info they realized wasn't the best to be posting online," said Dean Carson, 18, who is NFTY's current president and a freshman at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. The NFTY national board members then formulated their own recommendation, which recognizes the right to free speech but encourages what it terms "ethical blogging": online posting that recognizes the importance of proper speech and conduct. "Judaism teaches a lot about respect and guarding one's speech and caring about each other," Carson said. The idea was for NFTY regional presidents to take the message back to their home cities and hold similar exercises and discussions there. Programming ideas, dubbed OurSpace, can be seen on the NFTY Web site (nfty.org).

Mental health advocates to rally at Okla. Capitol
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Mental health advocates will rally at the state Capitol to warn lawmakers of the possible impact of more state budget cuts to mental health and substance abuse services.
The rally is planned for Tuesday in the Capitol's fourth floor rotunda.
Organizers say more budget cuts will create a huge rise in the homeless population, more property crimes and a lack of resources to help people in a mental health or substance abuse crisis.
Terri White, commissioner of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, told lawmakers last month the cost of treating mental illness and addictive disorders will be shifted to local communities through more emergency room visits and involvement of patients in the criminal justice system.

On XP the link files are saved as .url and on OS X they're saved as .webloc and Firefox on either OS can't use the format used by the other (.url files do at least open in Safari on OS X).
I'd like to keep using files and not have to save links in emails or on sites like delicious. I'd also like to keep using Firefox in both environments. Is there a way to make Firefox on either OS accommodate the files from the other? Maybe an extension or plugin? I'm not picky about which format works.

Water Wranglers Gush With New Oilfield Work to Help Fend Off EPA
Gary Evans founded his company, GreenHunter Energy Inc., to tap into the growing need for renewable energy. Last year, he saw a bigger opportunity in the oil and natural-gas business: water.
As local and federal regulators raise questions about potential pollution from drilling operations, U.S. oil and gas producers are turning to companies like GreenHunter to improve their handling of the millions of gallons of fluids involved in an average well.
An investigation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency found evidence of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in a drinking-water aquifer in Wyoming, the agency reported last week.
Water-service companies help manage the chemical-tainted water that's a byproduct of drilling and production, cleaning and recycling it for re-use, and hauling it away for disposal.
"Some of these people couldn't even spell the word petroleum -- they developed water treatment for some other application," said Steve Jacobs, chief operating officer at Houston-based Decision Strategies, an oilfield consultant. "Now they're realizing, 'Gosh, there's a huge market out there called the oil and gas industry and that's a great opportunity.'"
Landowner groups in states including Pennsylvania and New York say they are concerned that contaminated water can leak from wells that have been fracked, a method of cracking rock with high-pressure injections of water, chemicals and sand to release oil and gas.
Water Disposal
Environmental groups such as the National Resources Defense Council also are concerned about proper disposal of the wastewater pumped to the surface with oil and gas -- about 1 million gallons over the life of a well, according to an EPA estimate.
The EPA's finding of possible aquifer contamination from Wyoming fracking operations are "not definitive," according to Doug Hock, a spokesman for Canada's Encana Corp., the owner of the wells suspected of causing the problem.
The report bolstered calls for tighter regulation of air and water quality in oil and gas production in the U.S.
"There must be absolutely no more delay in closing the loopholes that leave our drinking water sources vulnerable to toxic chemicals," said Jessica Ennis, a policy associate in Washington with Earthjustice, an environmental group based in San Francisco.
More Regulations Coming
Stricter rules would probably mean more business for water recycling companies such as Roanoke, Texas-based Fountain Quail Water Management LLC, said Chief Operating Officer Brent Halldorson.
"As these regulations get stronger and stronger, you will see recycling get more attractive," he said in an interview.
The EPA is expected to report initial findings next year from its study of how fracking might affect groundwater, with a final report due in 2014. The agency also is considering adopting new rules that will govern how companies dispose of wastewater from oil and gas wells.
An advisory panel to the U.S. Energy Department said Nov. 10 the industry and government need to do more to protect water and air from pollution related to gas production.
Managing water in the oilfield is a roughly $50 billion-a-year business in the U.S., according to estimates made by Heckmann Corp. a water-services company based in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.
Concerns about water management have grown as operators drill more wells to chase profits from crude prices that have climbed 134 percent in the past three years. The number of active rigs drilling onshore in the U.S. has more than doubled to 1,931 since the middle of 2009.
Rising Water Consumption
Total water consumption among energy companies is expected to almost quadruple to as much as 15 billion gallons a day by 2035 from 4.3 billion in 1995, said Mike Hightower, a researcher at Sandia National Laboratories who was on the team hired by the Energy Department for a 2006 study on the relationship between energy and water. That's enough to supply more than 130,000 average households for a year, according to Texas Water Development Board calculations.
States are tightening regulations, too. Pennsylvania adopted rules in 2010 requiring oil and gas operators to clean water to near-drinkable quality before depositing it in creeks and rivers. Producers in the state handled 20 million gallons of wastewater this year, and that may grow to 60 million gallons annually as the number of wells increases, said Radisav Vidic, a professor of engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
New Use Limits
In parched Texas, some local jurisdictions this year approved restrictions on the amount of water used by producers and other commercial interests after a record drought focused attention on the volumes consumed by fracking. An average 6.3 million gallons of water are used to frack each well, according to an Oct. 21 note to investors from Global Hunter Securities.
"Municipalities are less and less likely to draw down their freshwater resources for the fracking activity," said George Kast, CEO of Denver-based Produced Water Solutions Inc.
Increased demand for water treatment and handling also means rising prices for those services, according to a Nov. 18 note to investors by Robert W. Baird & Co. Producers may be able to fend off costs and delays associated with stricter regulation by adopting new technology to reduce water usage and minimize risks of pollution, said Christine Tezak, an analyst with Baird.
Regulation a 'Friend'
"We believe regulation is our friend," Richard Heckmann, chief executive officer for Heckmann, told investors at a Nov. 16 conference in New York. His four-year-old company has climbed 17 percent since Oct. 3, when it announced a buyer for parts of its Chinese bottled-water unit and plans to divest the rest in order to focus solely on water management for the energy industry.
The company has increased staffing in its U.S. business to 1,050 workers today from fewer than 30 a year earlier, according to a Nov. 9 statement.
With the proliferation of water-service startups, the industry will begin to consolidate as companies take advantage of the leap in demand for their expertise, Stephen Trauber, global head of energy investment banking at Citigroup, said in a telephone interview. Trauber expects to see a surge in mergers, acquisitions and initial public offerings over the next 18 months.
Consolidation Ahead
Larger oilfield-service companies may be buyers as they build their own water specialties, Trauber said. Halliburton Co., the world's largest pressure pumper, is aiming for a 25 percent cut in its use of fresh water by 2015, said Clay Terry, strategic business manager for the company's newly formed Water Solutions group.
General Electric Co. and Ecosphere Technologies Inc. also are each using mobile water-recycling units designed to be hauled from well to well in the oilfield. Ecosphere boosted its third-quarter revenue almost fourfold to $8.2 million compared with a year earlier.
"We're finding that disposal and hauling is really the tip of the iceberg," said Jonathan Hoopes, chief operating officer at GreenHunter. "There really is more business than we can all satisfy."

It's not quite the Greg Oden/Kevin Durant debate of a year ago, but Michael Beasley and Derrick Rose will give Oden and Durant a run for their money, at least as far as the fantasy game is concerned. Matching the Oden/Durant hype machine will be nearly impossible -- heck, I even saw both go in the third round of one early "expert" draft last year -- but I'd argue that the overhype last year might be a good thing for fantasy owners looking to snag Beasley or Rose at a reasonable price in 2008-09.
There's no denying that Durant was slightly overrated among the fantasy crowd at the start of his first professional season. His end-of-year statistics put him 49th overall on the player rater, which was only slightly worse than his average draft position (43rd). Still, I can't help but feel that many expected more out of Durant, particularly in the nonscoring categories. Most folks I have talked to have viewed Durant's first fantasy season as a bit of a disappointment. As a result, some owners might shy away from overhyped rookies this year and an opportunity for value might present itself.
That said, old habits are tough to break, and rookies are almost always overvalued in fantasy hoops. There's emphasis on "almost" because certain players can have a major impact in their rookie years. Chris Paul, Al Horford, Charlie Villanueva, Brandon Roy and Emeka Okafor are recent examples of rookies who were able to live up to the hype or even outperform their expectations as rookies. So, which group will Beasley and Rose belong to? Only time will tell, but my initial thoughts are that both have the potential to live up to the hype and provide solid returns next season. Let's take a closer look at the two prospects.
Fantasy comparison: Dirk Nowitzki -- Beasley's real-life game is much more rugged than Dirk's, but if we're going by pure statistical analysis, it's hard not notice the similarities between the two, particularly their ability to contribute in 3-pointers, steals and blocks while shooting a high percentage from the floor.
Fantasy positives: From a fantasy perspective, there's not much to complain about here. Beasley is a born scorer with a soft touch around the rim and the ability to extend his game past the 3-point line. Simply put, there's not much he can't do on the offensive end. He's also a terrific rebounder on the offensive and defensive ends, and he's strong enough physically to contribute on the boards right away. The wild card here will be how well Beasley can adjust to the NBA on the defensive end. With his length, he certainly has the potential to be a one-steal, one-block type of player, but I'm not sure he'll be able to put up those type of defensive numbers initially.
Fantasy negatives: We don't expect many assists from our big men, but if there are any complaints about Beasley's fantasy prospects, it pretty much starts and ends with his inability to create open looks for his teammates. There is an off chance he might struggle from the floor in the early going, especially if he settles for jumpers around the perimeter, as he did at times at Kansas State. This might present a slight problem in terms of his field goal percentage, but as mentioned before, he should still be an efficient scorer thanks to his soft touch. One last concern surrounding Beasley is his defensive production. He has been criticized for a lack of focus and intensity on the defensive end, and I wouldn't be surprised to see his defensive numbers lag behind his offensive numbers early in his career.
Upside potential: Going back to the Dirk comparison, Beasley projects to be a better rebounder than Nowitzki, and he could (and should) turn into a perennial 20-point, 10-rebound stud on a night-to-night basis in the NBA. If he progresses, he also should be able to create some steals, block some shots and extend his game past the 3-point line. With that said, we could be looking at a player who has the potential to average 20-22 points and 10-12 rebounds with a steal, a block and a 3-pointer in the future. That's about as good as it gets in the fantasy game, and if Beasley lives up to his potential, we could be looking at a future first-round fantasy selection in as few as 3-5 years.
Rookie season outlook: Whether he lands with the Chicago Bulls or the Miami Heat, Beasley figures to receive ample playing time in his rookie season. He already has an NBA-ready body, and his offensive skills are already more advanced than those of some veterans. If the Bulls pull the trigger on Beasley (and they should, based on need), he immediately will become a go-to scorer in the post. Chicago lacked a low-post scoring presence last season, and despite Beasley's age, his game is more refined than those of Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah. Thomas, Noah and Drew Gooden would take a hit in value as Beasley will crowd the situation and gobble up a ton of rebounds under the glass. The rest of the lineup should benefit from the addition of a high-impact scorer such as Beasley, particularly Luol Deng and Kirk Hinrich.
If Beasley falls to the Heat, I'd expect a similar type of outlook. Provided that both Dwyane Wade and Shawn Marion are healthy, Beasley would have less pressure on him to be "the man," but he would become the third scoring option and would still get plenty of looks on the offensive end. Udonis Haslem still would see plenty of playing time, but Beasley's presence would hurt Haslem's fantasy prospects in 2008-09.
I'd expect something along the lines of 15-17 points, 10 rebounds, 0.7 steals, 0.9 blocks and 0.6 3-pointers if Beasley lands with the Bulls, and similar stats with perhaps slightly fewer points on the Heat (provided that Wade and Marion are fully healthy).
Fantasy comparison: Dwyane Wade -- Rose is more of a pure point guard than Wade, but his athleticism is comparable, as is his somewhat shaky outside jumper.
Fantasy positives: Rose's athleticism and upside are absolutely off the charts, and there is little doubt he immediately will become one of the league's most athletic point guards. Although his jump shot needs some work, Rose excels at using his quickness to create his own shot and get to the basket, where he's a fantastic finisher. All those high-percentage dunks should help offset his weak jumper and help him to post an above-average field goal percentage for a point guard. There is no doubt Rose will be a top-of-the-line rebounder for a point guard, as he can sky for rebounds and has the quickness and motor to run down loose boards a la Jason Kidd. You might not know it by looking at his stats at Memphis, but Rose has a pass-first mentality, and he has great court vision, especially on the fast break. His assist totals should skyrocket in the NBA. Lastly, with just a little improvement, Rose has the potential to be a lockdown defender with the ability to create a ton of steals thanks to his quickness and tenacity.
Fantasy negatives: Just by looking at Rose's stats at Memphis, it's not hard to see his fantasy deficiencies. Let's start with the easy one: He's not a great free-throw shooter by point guard standards at just 71.2 percent. I typically like to have my point guards hit at least 80 percent or better from the line, but I'll make an exception for a talent such as Rose. The one big knock on Rose is his inconsistent outside jump shot. He shot just 33.7 percent from downtown at the college level, which doesn't bode well for his prospects from the NBA 3-point line. Again, that's an area I am able to overlook, but only if he can play within himself and keep his field goal percentage high by not extending himself past his range. Wade excels at this, and we can hope Rose will follow suit.
Upside potential: The upside here is limitless, especially if Rose can refine his perimeter game. He's just 19 years old, so there is plenty of time for him to progress in that area. Many scouts are comparing him to a cross between Deron Williams and Paul, and I'd concur with those sentiments. Down the line, we could be looking at averages like this: 18 points, 6 rebounds, 8-plus assists, 1.5 steals -- and perhaps an even better line. Rose might take a little more time to develop than Beasley, but as I said before, the upside is off the charts.
Rookie season outlook: Like Beasley, Rose has an NBA-ready body, and he is athletic enough to contribute right away. However, because the point guard position is a slightly more difficult position to adjust to at the NBA level, Rose might initially go through more growing pains than Beasley. Remember, even Deron Williams struggled in his rookie season. Even so, Rose's upside is almost too tempting to pass on, especially if you can land him in the middle rounds.
Rose's fantasy prospects are much more promising in 2008-09 if he ends up falling to the Heat at No. 2. He would immediately supplant Jason Williams, Chris Quinn and Marcus Banks as the starting point guard and would team with Wade as the league's most athletic and exciting backcourt. With his court vision and two great finishers in Wade and Marion, Rose easily could average six to seven assists as a rookie. If he does end up landing with the Heat, I'd expect him to see at least 30 minutes per game and to post something along the lines of 13-14 points, 5 rebounds, 6-7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
If Chicago decides to go with Rose, the homegrown talent, with the first overall pick, projecting this situation becomes slightly more difficult. Most will agree that Rose is an upgrade over Hinrich, but we could be looking at a time-share if Hinrich isn't dealt, and we all know what time-shares can do to a player's fantasy value. Of course, the Bulls could trade Hinrich and all would be right in the world, but this is really a topic that we'll have to revisit later on in the offseason.

Law named for local EMT signed by ObamaBy Patrick McArdle
Staff Writer | January 03,2013BENNINGTON - Named for a Bennington emergency medical technician who died on duty in June 2009, the "Dale Long Act," which will provide benefits for EMTs killed or injured in the line of duty, was signed into law on Wednesday as part of the defense authorization act.
The Dale Long Emergency Medical Service Providers Protection Act had been strongly promoted by Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., who wrote the legislation.
Long's brother, Rich Long, said on Thursday that he thought his brother would be humbled by the law and pleased that his legacy would aid other EMTs. Long said he and his wife, Colleen, had become EMTs themselves in Colchester after being inspired by Dale's death.
The new law will extend a federal benefits program to paramedics and emergency medical technicians and their families, in cases where the EMT works or volunteers for nonprofit ambulance services. Previously, the benefits were only provided for EMTs working for government-related ambulance services.MORE IN This Just InLOS ANGELES As throngs of Pokemon Go players traipse around to real-world landmarks in...

What is 'Diversification'
Diversification is a risk management technique that mixes a wide variety of investments within a portfolio. The rationale behind this technique contends that a portfolio of different kinds of investments will, on average, yield higher returns and pose a lower risk than any individual investment found within the portfolio.
Diversification strives to smooth out unsystematic risk events in a portfolio so that the positive performance of some investments will neutralize the negative performance of others. Therefore, the benefits of diversification will hold only if the securities in the portfolio are not perfectly correlated.
BREAKING DOWN 'Diversification'
Studies and mathematical models have shown that maintaining a well-diversified portfolio of 25 to 30 stocks will yield the most cost-effective level of risk reduction. Investing in more securities will still yield further diversification benefits, albeit at a drastically smaller rate.
Further diversification benefits can be gained by investing in foreign securities because they tend be less closely correlated with domestic investments. For example, an economic downturn in the U.S. economy may not affect Japan's economy in the same way; therefore, having Japanese investments would allow an investor to have a small cushion of protection against losses due to an American economic downturn.
Most non-institutional investors have a limited investment budget, and may find it difficult to create an adequately diversified portfolio. This fact alone can explain why mutual funds have been increasing in popularity. Buying shares in a mutual fund can provide investors with an inexpensive source of diversification.

I was wondering when you'd post something about boytaurs. That whole genre of porn just weirds me about, along with size change, duplication, and all that shit.
What the fuck?
I agree with Chris.
very 19th century
Sorry to be repetitive, but, WTF??!!? Where do you get this shit?!?!?!
Awesome. Now where can I find some hot Griffin on Manticore action?
The first time I looked at this I just thought it was one guy standing up and one guy bending way over to the point his balls show -- totally not creepy, of course. Now that I look again... *squirms*.
Ballsack is safe for work?
That's not my taste, but I think satyrs and fauns are hot such as Pan or Mr. Tumnus!
Hm... I missed the ballsack. So perfectly evolved is that ballsack for its environment that it blends seamlessly into the high grass, where it is hidden from predators. That boytaur will live to pass on his genes. Boytaurs with bright blue ballsacks died out for a reason. Natural selection at work.
Two dicks on that creature, just think of the possibilities!
That's not even good photoshopping. And why would a boytaur have a tan line?
And that tan line is only on the foreleg section, not the tail end. Must be some weird underwear...
Well, that was... something. Sometimes I really think the creators of Photoshop must hold their heads (or boytaurs) and cry.
Brie, at $650 a pop the bastards are laughing all the way to the bank.
river phoenix, risen again like a....boytaur. shouldn't there be a tail on that second "tail"? how difficult would that have been? or was the ballsack just to important to obscure (and how hard is it to photoshop out a tan line, ferchrissakes)?
Ugh, can't you and Mudede keep this in email amongst yourselves, like any other pair of slacking office drones (or the Port Police)?
Whatever floats your boat, I guess. But for a laugh, check out this hilarious SNL skit where Christopher Walken interviews a centaur.
Now, I could totally see centaurs as being hot, but not scary photoshopped boytaurs.
That's damned unnerving.
At our local game studio, where we have to do concept art for centaurs and orcs and elves and whatnot, we found those pics a long time ago and had a good laugh over them.
We also had a big debate that led to lots of speculative medical style illustrations -- do centaurs have two entire sets of internal organs? They have two ribcages, right? Wouldn't that imply two hearts and pairs of lungs? Since there's only one trachea, would the lungs work in unison? Wouldn't the centaur have to be panting constantly, to be inflating two sets of lungs?
i am seldom shocked but the NSFW stuff was fucking wacked up crazy mo-fo kinky weird and kinda hot shit...
My first thought upon seeing the NSFW video was, "Wait, wait, this is all wrong - shouldn't the centaurdick be futher back, between the two sets of legs?
My second thought was, "THAT'S what bothers me about this? What the fuck??"
Christ, I'm jaded.
*Photo, not video. God, I really hope there's not a video.

Navy and Notre Dame will play at FedEx Field in Landover, MD in 2014, Navy announced today. The game is set for Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014.
"FedExField did a fine job of hosting the Army-Navy game and we are looking forward to another sold out event in 2014," said Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk.
"The Navy and Notre Dame game highlights two outstanding collegiate programs," said Redskins Chief Marketing Officer Gershman. "We are excited to welcome both teams back to FedExField and are looking forward to hosting one of the most competitive and nationally acclaimed matchups in the country."
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish lead the overall series against the Navy Midshipmen 73-12-1, but the two schools have split the last six meetings. Notre Dame won this years contest 50-10, which was played at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
Navy's 2014 schedule also includes home game vs. Ohio State, Rutgers, Western Kentucky, VMI, San Jose State, and San Diego State and road games vs. Temple, Texas State, Air Force, and South Alabama. The Middies also face the Black Knights in the annual Army-Navy game.
Notre Dame's 2014 schedule is in flux due to their agreement to play five ACC games per year, beginning as early as the '14 season. Currently, the Irish host Rice, Michigan, Purdue, Stanford, Pittsburgh, and Northwestern and travel to Syracuse (at MetLife Stadium), Temple, Arizona State, Navy (at FedEx Field), and USC.
Football Schedules
Does Notre dame ever play at their own field?
yes, at least 6 games/season.
6 in 2013 (including the USNA), 6 in 2014 (one game to be announced), 6 (so far) in 2015, including the USNA…….
notre dame and navy wont even be a good game.
If you are a NOTRE DAME fan,your lucky.
Hopefully they get new turf. All the Irish needs is to have one of their top players get a knee injury on the crap field

We are going on holiday with our 3 month old, where it will hopefully be sunny. Given that we won't ever be leaving her in direct sunlight, is there any reason or recommendation for very young children to wear sunglasses? She already has a very nice range of sun hats.
We had Baby Banz too, but my baby didn't like to keep them on.
Evolution has a nice way of protecting baby's eyes even without sunglasses; pupils contract in bright light, preventing excess UV exposure. And babies can close their eyes if it's too bright for them, which they will do. So I wouldn't worry too much about the sunglasses, especially since you will be taking other precautions about sun exposure.
The biggest danger with sunglasses is using cheap ones that do not block 100% of the UV light. Then, the visible light will appear darker so the pupils will not contract much, and the larger pupils will allow lots more UV light to enter the eye. That's often how eyes get damaged.
Your child is still very young and the eyes are continuing to develop. As pointed out in the comments, keeping glasses on her can be a challenge. Whether it's a translucent cloth that's very breathable (I don't know what they are called, but think of a sunshade type cloth), sunglasses or something else, you should absolutely protect her eyes.
Keep in mind that even though the eyes and person are in the shade, looking out into a bright area can still be damaging (I have blue eyes, so know this all too well). So, try to keep her facing away from extremely bright areas, too.
You should have some method of shielding your child's eyes. Sunglasses may not be the best method because they are easily removed and your child could poke themselves with them.
Even outside of direct sunlight you should still be aware that the light level that you can handle might be too much for her.
Some form of shade on whatever she is carried in is probably the best method. Also make sure she is not too hot/cold and at 3 months you may want to avoid a lot of people.

AWESOME sauce for gnocchi! I used a little less gorgonzola and a little more parmesan because that's what I was in the mood for and it was delicious!
Wow, fabulous, so rich and creamy, absolute perfection! I made it exactly as directed, and served it with tomato-flavoured gnocchi. Gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce, heaven on a plate :) I had a small head of broccoli, so chopped it up, cooked it with the gnocchi, and combined everything with the sauce. This was a marvellously decadent supper, a real make again when I want something sinfully rich! Made in loving memory of Annelies and her marvellous recipes.
This is sooo good! I made it to use over whole wheat pasta, with great results. The whole family enjoyed it!
Exquisite!! Put it over home made pumpkin ravioli. Tripled the recipe for a crowd. Used fresh grated Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan and added some freshly grated nutmeg-it was divine. Kept sauce on warm in small crock pot and held perfectly. For reheats, make sure it's low and slow with rapid whisking to incorporate as it warms. Will definitely separate if reheated too quickly and not whisked. I assure you will not be disappointed. This is incredible--every guest was speechless.
This was absolutely deeeelish!!!! I put it over linquine with chicken and mushrooms and some minced garlic.. My fiance' who is an amazing cook said he could get used to me making dinner if he came home to things like this every night.. Until I told him how fattening it was.. lol.. Thanks for posting.. Will definetely make this again!
Delicious topping for steaks! It's so full of flavor, that I made about 1/4 of the recipe. Just a tablespoon or two on top of grilled steaks was excellent!
Well, I nearly screwed up dinner because I didn't read the directions until after I started cooking. I misread the 45-50 minutes and thought it was seconds! So everything else was done when I realize I still have 45 minutes to go (taught me a good lesson). We waited out the time and boy was I happy we did. My DH and I both loved, loved, loved this sauce. We served over linguine with sauteed chicken and mushrooms. WOW.
Excellent! I did add nutmeg, because I always add it to my white sauces. Otherwise, made it as posted. Thanks for posting!!
Fabulously rich and delish!
Awsome sauce as you can see by the nutrition info - Ha. I always find the best stuff at Zaar. I was looking to duplicate a dish I had at Itailianni's and this sauce made it happen. I added sundried tomatoes and some pecans with a little olive oil and topped some chesse tortellini and blackened chicken with it. Needless to say my guest were blown away. I could have convinced anyone I was a pro with that dish.

Cindy Jones, a cute brunette, should have been the box cover and she fares best in her fuck scene with John Strong.

WINNER!!! Made this as written except for cutting the recipe in half except for the sacue like TeresaS did and used parsley instead of dill (out of dill). I had large garlic cloves so that was fine and DH totally inhaled his dinner. Going into my Favorites of 2013. Thank you for posting. Made for the Aussie Swap2013.
Not really sure what I did wrong but...I mixed a citrus with dairy and it separated and cuddled like normal. Otherwise it was delicious. I cut the recipe in half but not the sauce. I seasoned it with Johnny Seasoning Salt for an added kick. Not sure where the veggies come in...I think you could serve it with any green, white, yellow or red veggies you want. I served the seafood/sauce on top of penne. Thanks for posting. :)
Delicious! My kids thought this was definite restaurant quality. :) That's a huge compliment coming from them! I did omit the scallops as we don't like them and probably tripled the shrimp as we LOVE them! I also left out the snap peas. I followed the instructions as written. When the sauce and shrimp were done - I thought it was a little too runny so.... I poured the sauce into the pasta I had made to go with the shrimp. It turned into a kind of fettuccine dish. Man oh man. Was that ever good! We put the shrimp and asparagus on top. Two kids took it to school the next day for lunch and I salvaged a bowl for myself as well. :) Thanks so much for sharing!

Contraception Quagmire: Making Sense of the Options
Sept. 28, 2000 -- Today's approval of the French abortion pill RU-486 adds yet another option to women's reproductive choices, but it may also add to the confusion surrounding the various methods of medical abortion and/or emergency contraception that are currently available.
When it comes to medical abortions -- abortions caused through drugs, as opposed to surgery -- there are currently two methods available to women. The newest is mifepristone, or RU-486, which induces an abortion when given early in pregnancy -- up to 49 days after the beginning of the last menstrual period. Two days after taking RU-486, the woman takes two tablets of another drug called misoprostol, which causes the lining of the uterus to be expelled along with the embryo. To date, over 500,000 women in Europe have used RU-486, as have thousands of women in the U.S. as part of research studies.
The other method of medical abortion involves a combination of two widely available prescription drugs, methotrexate and misoprostol. Studies have shown that this method is up to 96% effective at ending pregnancies, depending on the regimen used and the time it's given. Both these pills are FDA-approved and are widely used to treat other conditions. While doctors can legally prescribe this drug combination for abortion, the drugs are not FDA-approved for this purpose.
"We already have a medication that is used widely in this country for cancer -- methotrexate -- and it is also used to produce an abortion," Robert Hatcher, MD, author of Emergency Contraception: America's Best Kept Secret, tells WebMD. "There is no chance that this drug will be taken off the market because of its use in treating cancer. [In addition,] it is the gold standard in managing an ectopic pregnancy," a pregnancy that implants outside of the uterus, usually in the fallopian tubes. "This drug has paved the way for drugs like RU-486."
In a review article on medical abortion in TheNew England Journal of Medicine, a French research team reported that "medical abortion is associated with higher rates of prolonged bleeding, nausea, vomiting and pain than is surgical abortion and the rate of use of [painkillers] is greater with medical abortion." However, "an advantage of medical termination is its high rate of efficacy in women with early pregnancies."

Mice 'Stimulate' Their Way to Delaying Huntington's Disease
Although this is the very first time that scientists have been able to delay disease onset, van Dellen tells WebMD that it's far too early to tell Huntington's disease patients with any certainty that a particular activity or lifestyle will keep symptoms at bay. Environmental enrichment is quite complex, he says, and any number of potentially important factors could be at work.
"Enriched-environment mice were continually exposed to new sensory stimuli," van Dellen tells WebMD. "They exercised more. They used fine-motor skills." Much harder to quantify, but also worth investigating, is what he calls "the enjoyment factor." Perhaps the benefit came not from any one factor, but rather from the "pleasure" or stress-relief of the overall environment. "You're in a less stressful environment if you're running on a wheel than if you're sitting all day in the corner of a box," he says.
Even though this finding is only the beginning of extensive future work, van Dellen tells WebMD that there is most definitely cause for optimism. "I think the fact that there's been such a clear link shown between environment and disease onset shows that we're not just products of our genetic makeup, but also of how we interact with our environment. We can steer our own fate by the environment we choose."
Vital Information:
- Scientists have been able to delay the onset of Huntington's disease in mice by providing them with a stimulating environment.
- With Huntington's disease, certain areas of the brain degenerate, but these stimulated mice showed less degeneration than other mice with the disease.
- Researchers do not yet know how the findings will translate to humans, partly because an enriched environment is difficult to quantify, as it encourages more exercise, more fine-motor skills, more enjoyment, and less overall stress.

Where do we go from here
AT LEAST over 6 by eod, my prediction
up up up
Sentiment: Strong Buy
News just broke so give it a few hours. I just hope it can get back to 5.88 where I bought it at :(
Management seems very happy with the results and I would think we would get a nice rally. Pre market looks ho-hum but I believe with the latest technical weakness, traders are being very careful before they go in.
Holding long and strong.

Policy Brief #181
The new normal for local, state and federal governments is fiscal austerity. Although President Obama supported education during his State of the Union address and in his budget proposal to Congress, cash-strapped localities and states—which foot most of the bill for educating America's children—may have to balance their budgets with cuts to schools and teachers. The recession exposed a long-developing structural imbalance between public expenditure versus raising the revenue for public services. Especially on education, reality has set in, with a vengeance.
Cutting public expenditure is not necessarily
a bad thing. There are, however, some activities
that have become so fundamentally governmental
and so critically important to the
nation's future that they require special care
during a period of severe budget trimming.
Education is one such example.
The Brown Center on Education Policy at
Brookings has recently developed proposals to
ensure that federal investments in education
have impact. These proposals present the dual
advantage of low costs of implementation at
the federal level coupled with the promise of
considerable leverage at the state and local
level. Two of those proposals are presented in
this brief: increasing digital and virtual education
and expanding consumer information on
higher education.

Ranney surveyed more than 350 teenagers who landed in Hasbro's emergency room for various reasons. She says she was surprised by the high rate of PTSD symptoms, and she believes it relates to cyber-bullying. UConn Acknowledges Hazing in Hockey Program By Associated Press • Sep 4, 2015 uconnhuskies.com University of Connecticut officials said a school investigation has confirmed a hazing incident last year in its women's ice hockey program. The university issued a statement Thursday after WFSB-TV reported this week that a former player has filed a lawsuit in Rockville Superior Court alleging she was pressured to drink and wear sexually inappropriate clothing during what upperclassmen called "Rookie Night" last fall. Police Probe Hazing Allegations Involving Cromwell-Portland Football Team By Associated Press • Sep 3, 2015 Ishutterthethought flickr.com/photos/37202375@N03 / Creative Commons An investigation is underway into allegations of hazing involving a Connecticut high school football team. Connecticut Program Aims to Help Middle Schoolers Help Each Other By David DesRoches • Sep 2, 2015 Dylan's Wings of Change Ian and Nicole Hockley lost their son, Dylan, in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. Dylan had autism, and some problems with speech and engaging socially. After his death, his parents started a foundation called Dylan's Wings of Change to help children with similar difficulties develop fully. Their Wingman program is little different because it's for all kids. Bullying in Connecticut: Addressing the Problem in the Schoolyard and Online By Diane Orson • Aug 17, 2015 Lee Morley / Creative Commons Listen Listening... / 5:23 Bartlomiej Palosz, 15, committed suicide in 2013, on the first day of his sophomore year in high school. Now his parents are suing the town of Greenwich and its school board, claiming that not enough was done to address the years of bullying that their son endured. Connecticut and California Groups Unite to End Social Isolation in Schools By David DesRoches • Jan 28, 2015 BeyondDifferences.org Laura Talmus experienced that most unthinkable of events for a parent. Her daughter, Lili, died in her sleep after only 15 years of life. Her death was due to complications with a cranial facial syndrome, but her mother, Laura, said that while Lili was alive, she also suffered from an often-unnoticed affliction: social isolation. "When Lili passed away, it was a group of her peers who came up to me and said that they had really not realized that by leaving Lili out from a lot of the social structure of middle school, but particularly at lunch, they felt terrible and they wanted to know what they could do," Talmus said. So Talmus and Lili's classmates got together and went to other middle schools to see if students noticed anyone eating alone or without friends. The response, she said, was overwhelming. Springfield Declares Anti-bullying Weekend By Paul Tuthill • Sep 11, 2014 A number of activities to raise funds and awareness to combat bullying will take place this week in Springfield, Massachusetts, where the suicide five years ago of an 11-year- old student focused national attention on bullying in schools. The Carl Joseph Walker-Hoover Foundation has scheduled a series of events that began Wednesday with a mayoral designation of the second weekend in September as "Anti-Bullying Weekend" in the city of Springfield. States Consider Bills To Crack Down On Workplace Bullies By Yuki Noguchi • May 27, 2014 Bullying is a behavioral problem often associated with children in grade school, but according to a recent Zogby poll commissioned by the Workplace Bullying Institute more than a quarter of American workers say they've experienced abusive conduct at work. Now, many states are considering laws that would give workers legal protections against workplace abuse. Women Speak Out on the State of Sports By Colin McEnroe, Betsy Kaplan & Chion Wolf • Feb 25, 2014 Chion Wolf Four women join us to talk about sports, mostly football. Two of them are sports journalists. A third is a journalist specializing in legal issues, and a fourth is a scientist and engineer. Mean Girls... and Boys By Catie Talarski, Tucker Ives, Lydia Brown & John Dankosky • Jan 16, 2014 Noah Strycker/iStock / Thinkstock Rosalind Wiseman's book, Queen Bees and Wannabes, became a bestseller and was inspiration for the popular movie "Mean Girls." While the movie was hilarious and painful to watch, the book took a more serious look at new ways to understand girls' social dynamics. Incognito: 'My Actions Were Coming From A Place Of Love' By editor • Nov 10, 2013 In his first interview since the Miami Dolphins suspended him, Richie Incognito says his words to Jonathan Martin sound harsh, but that's not the way he meant them. "My actions were coming from a place of love," he told Fox NFL Sunday. "No matter how bad and how vulgar it sounds, that's how we communicate, that's how our friendship was, and those are the facts and that's what I'm accountable for." The Nose Tackles Racism, Past and Present By Colin McEnroe, Betsy Kaplan & Chion Wolf • Nov 8, 2013 Chion Wolf / WNPR As my friend Alex Beam said today, 12 Years a Slave has a way of taking things that were abstractions and making them real. It's one thing to talk about abolition, another to see the essential need for it. Even a figure like John Brown, says Alex, looks different when you see the true carnage of slavery. We're talking about this astonishing new Steve McQueen movie today on The Nose and we'll find it pretty easy I predict. Learning How To Stop Bullying By Diane Orson • Sep 30, 2013 Ryan Cassella / WNPR The town of Greenwich is still coping with the tragic death of a teenager earlier this year. A Greenwich high school student took his own life just hours after the first day of school. A preliminary investigation pointed to bullying as having played a role in the suicide. Each year, Marji Lipshez-Shapiro leads anti-bullying programs in about 200 Connecticut schools as the education director for the state Office of the Anti-Defamation League. Lipshez-Shapiro will be in Greenwich this week, joined by students from Greenwich High School, for conversation with parents on what they need to know about bullying, name-calling, and cyber-bullying. Why Spying On Our Kids To Solve Cyberbullying Might Not Work By editor • Sep 17, 2013 A school district in Southern California has hired a private firm to comb through the cyber lives of its 14,000 middle- and high-school students, looking for signs of trouble. The Los Angeles Times reported that the Glendale Unified School District is spending $40,000 to have the firm monitor social media use among the district's students. School officials want to know if the kids are posting suicidal thoughts, obscenities or comments intended to bully fellow students. Connecticut Student Commits Suicide After First Day Of School By Diane Orson • Aug 30, 2013 A Greenwich High School student committed suicide this week, just hours after his first day of classes. A preliminary investigation revealed that 15-year old Bart Palosz died Tuesday of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Greenwich Police Lieutenant Craig Gray told WTNH that Palosz used a weapon that was stored inside a gun locker at his home. "The firearm was a family firearm, and it had been secured inside a gun safe," said Gray.

Specific alert. Something is not quite right and has your attention. Your radar has picked up a specific alert. You shift your primary focus to determine if there is a threat (but you do not drop your six). Your mindset shifts to "I may have to shoot that person today", focusing on the specific target which has caused the escalation in alert status. In Condition Orange, you set a mental trigger: "If that person does "X", I will need to stop them". Your pistol usually remains holstered in this state. Staying in Orange can be a bit of a mental strain, but you can stay in it for as long as you need to. If the threat proves to be nothing, you shift back to Condition Yellow.

Interactive is a live trio based in Murcia, Spain.The three piece line up is composed of Geraldine Pointing and Colin and Ann Stevens.
Geraldine is the vocalist and rhythm guitarist for Interactive.Bass player Colin provides the necessary strong but steady backing and Ann on keyboards provides the more delicate final touches and percussion to create the bands overall distinctive modern Country sound.
Interactive have been together for over ten years.During that they time have focused on being a function and local venue band performing covers of popular hits from the sixties to the present day.They have had a great time doing so.
However since the beginning of 2011 Interactive has decided to change direction completely and focus on writing and performing their own material written by Geraldine and arranged collectively by the band.This has led to an amazing positive response from Youtube and Facebook followers and radio listeners on stations all around the world.
"A Woman's Way" was written one wet Sunday afternoon in February in my classroom.It is a collection of thoughts about the present desperate situation many individuals are in due to the present economic crisis and it focuses particularly on how the woman of the house is trying to keep the family on course through these difficult times.
As a teacher of English to the local people of the town I have heard many stories of how difficult it is to get a job , even with the best of qualifications. My husband is a CV writer and he has first hand experience in helping people from all over the world who are trying to get a job in the UK or have lost their job in the UK and are looking for another one.Not an easy task with the ongoing cuts. So, AWW is not based on the happiest of topics but is as I introduced it to you........a song for our time!

Hi There,
I'm new to NextGen gallery and still a bit new to WP. I'm creating this rather crazy custom site for a photographer. On her gallery pages she would like thumbnails in 2 different sizes. I have been able to accomplish this with the NextGen Gallery plug-in, but in trying to get all the thumbnails to fall into their correct places I am having to create a custom CSS and position them using their IDs. This is fine until she goes to change the images and they will have all new ID #s and the layout will break.
I'm wondering if there is a way to a custom class to the some of the thumbnails so that she won't have to edit the CSS file every time she wants to change the images.
