Last month, heralded Missouri quarterback Blaine Dalton was arrested on suspicion of felony possession of a controlled substance and suspended indefinitely from the football program.While his legal situation is still in a state of flux, his off-the-field issues have taken a turn for the better as the QB has been taken off suspension and is eligible to return working out with the team, the Kansas City Star is reporting.The lifting of the suspension, though, could be a hint that his legal issues could be resolved in the not-too-distant future.Dalton's father claims that the incident has been blown way out of proportion; shortly after the incident, a former high school teammate of Dalton's claimed the prescription was his and that he had accidentally left it in Dalton's vehicle when he visited the QB.All Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel would say is that Dalton "is back" with the team.
T. Boone Pickens prefers Houston and SMU for Big 12 expansion, rips Boren, still not besties with Gundy
If you though the rivalry between Oklahoma and Oklahoma State was strictly on the football field, think again. Bedlam reaches beyond the gridiron and now has T. Boone Pickens slinging mud at Oklahoma president David Boren.
According to Kirk Bohls of The Austin American-Statesman, the Oklahoma State donor shared some comments about the Big 12 expansion saga that continues to drag its feet. Pickens reportedly prefers the Big 12 to add within the current Big 12 foot print by inviting Houston and SMU from the American Athletic Conference. That's probably good news for fans of Houston and SMU, if they believe Boone's influence carries any weight in this process (it doesn't, but we don't have to pour cold water on this subject for now). But the interesting part of the report included a jab at Oklahoma's president, who recently appeared to suggest he was fine with a 10-team Big 12 only to respond by saying no decisions have been made where Oklahoma stands on expansion.
"I've known David forever. He likes to talk. He gets a little bit confused sometimes," Pickens said. He also suggested "maybe it's time for David to retire."
Pickens also updated his relationship status with Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy.
"I don't have any conversations with Gundy," Pickens said. In late December 2014 there appeared to be some friction between the head coach and top donor when Pickens proclaimed he didn't care who coached the team while suggesting he will always support the program and university, his alma mater. Gundy looked to make sure the two were on common ground. Things appeared to have smoothed over by the following spring, but the two are not exactly hanging out together in their spare time.
"I don't know, but Mike doesn't handle people relationships very well. And he gets mad about things," Pickens explained. "I've heard he's written some notes about me that weren't very complimentary."
Excuse me while I file away a Freedom of Information Act request for access to these notes…
Nebraska regent chose to pursue removing protesting players off team rather than come to their support
Prior to last weekend's game between Nebraska and Northwestern in Evanston, three Nebraska football players opted to take a knee during the playing of the national anthem during the pregame routine. Now, one regent at Nebraska wants those three players kicked off the team.
Hal Daub told The Lincoln Journal Star student-athletes are not to do anything that might create disparagement or negative implications. Apparently, in the eyes of the Korean War veteran and former mayor of Omaha, the act of taking a knee during the national anthem to protest social injustices in our nation, crossed the line.
"It's a free country," Daub told the Lincoln newspaper Tuesday. "They don't have to play football for the university either."
The three players who took a knee during the national anthem on Saturday were Michael Rose-Ivey, Mohamed Barry, and DaiShon Neal. Rose-Ivey has been eloquent in his explanation for why he has chosen to follow the lead of San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and others who have chosen to demonstrate for their beliefs during the national anthem. Rose-Ivey said fans in the stands hurled racially charged insults and comments suggesting they should be lynched or shot." You would like to think Nebraska's leaders would come to the defense of their players, but that does not appear to be the case here.
"They know better, and they had better be kicked off the team," Daub said. "They won't take the risk to exhibit their free speech in a way that places their circumstance in jeopardy, so let them get out of uniform and do their protesting on somebody else's nickel."
Why is it OK to take a knee on the sideline when a player is injured on the field, but not during the national anthem. During the game, taking a knee is a show of respect for those hurt on the field. During the national anthem, taking a knee can be a show of respect for those who have been hurt by an unjust society that continues to try and work out our differences. It is a shame Rose-Ivey and other protesting players are on the receiving ends of hurtful comments when they simply want to express their voices of concern and wishes for a better world.
It's even more of a shame some regent in Nebraska chose to push for their banishment from the program instead of come to their defense. This was a golden opportunity to help promote progress, and Daub fumbled it away.
The good news is Mike Riley and university president Hank Bounds have made it clear they do support the players who choose to voice their concerns, so none of these three players should have any fear about being removed from the prorgam.
Bobby Petrino confirms commitment to Louisville amid LSU speculation
Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher and Houston head coach Tom Herman were quick to go on record saying they have not been in contact with the folks at LSU looking to fill a coaching vacancy following the dismissal of Les Miles this week. Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer confirmed his commitment to being the head coach at Ohio State. Stanford head coach David Shaw was quick to dismiss the mere idea of being considered for the LSU job. There is no doubt LSU will attract some high-profile candidates as the coaching search rolls on, but add one more notable coach to the growing list of coaches keeping a distance.
Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino, who once coached LSU rival Arkansas and gained a taste of coaching in the SEC (and SEC West), says he is not going anywhere and looks forward to continue building at Louisville.
"I'm not interested in going anywhere," Petrino said during a weekly press conference on Tuesday. "I'm very fortunate to be the head coach here at the University of Louisville, very happy about that, very glad I have the support of our athletic director Tom Jurich. We were able to sit down last year and do a new contract. We're going to expand the stadium. We're coming off one of the greatest crowds and Card Marches I've been around. We feel like we've got everything going in the right direction."
Then came the signature line that you would expect any coach to say about the current job position they own when approached about any other possible job vacancy.
"This is the job I want. This is where I'm going to be."
Now, we have all been following this stuff long enough to understand that just about every coach is going to say these things. They have to for a number of reasons, including keeping the fans (and donors) calm and keeping recruiting efforts on solid footing. Sometimes coaches will lie when in this situation, and sometimes the honest feeling will actually change once details about a possible new contract enter the equation. It is the ultimate variable that can shift the balance of the entire outlook at any given moment.
So any time Petrino and any other coach has to go on record and say this, take it with a grain of salt. Petrino does indeed appear to be happy and settled in back at Louisville, where he arguably has experienced the height of his coaching success under two different stints, and few coaches can say the grass is not always greener once you leave Louisville. Plus, Petrino appears to have everything he might need to build a championship program at Louisville now and in the future that LSU might be able to offer (although recruiting at LSU would appear to be an advantage).
Petrino has a true ACC and playoff contender this season with Louisville. This week he takes the Cardinals on the road for a pivotal ACC Atlantic Division contest with defending ACC champion Clemson. A win for Louisville will pretty much wrap up the division with two months still to play barring a complete meltdown. Louisville already owns a win over Florida State and has quickly moved to being the betting favorite this weekend on the road at Clemson.
I'm dropping this gem from LSU Freek here just because…
UNC linebacker Allen Artis says he is not a rapist before heading to court Thursday
Suspended North Carolina linebacker Allen Artis is scheduled to begin a legal battle in court on Thursday to defend himself against misdemeanor charges of sexual battery and assault on a female student. Before heading to court, Artis made time for a sit-down session with the media, with his mother and aunt by his side. Artis says the sexual interaction was a consensual act and says he did not rape Delaney Robinson, the UNC student who filed the claim she was raped by Artis on Valentine's Day this year.
"Everything was completely consensual that happened that night," Artis said in an interview with members of the media on Tuesday. "That's the truth."
As previously reported earlier this month, Robinson reported the alleged rape to university police and UNC's Title IX office. Robinson has accused the university of taking too long to proceed with its response to her allegations, which is why she made the decision to go public with her story.
Once Robinson went public with her story, UNC indefinitely suspended Artis the following morning. At this point, the legal process will now run its course before UNC makes any further decision on Artis' status with the program, and the university if needed.
Artis played in each of UNC's first two games this season and, of course, has not seen the field since.

Exhibition Canvas Natural Satin achieves high brightness without the use of OBA

text: Kay's Commentary 2007-03-02 Download File The following is a KSCO commentary. Here is Kay Zwerling: My recent two commentaries dealt with the suggestion that clearly Islamic terrorism must be dealt with for many years to come. Therefore, the Draft should now be resurrected. That news generated strong, sometimes hysterical reaction by some listeners. So, let's pursue this issue further. Foolish me. I took a risk, and thought I was talking to an audience of Americans who were very aware of the present danger to our freedom and way of life, and could see that it is OK for each of us to care enough to participate in the preservation of our own national safety. It is wrong to expect a voluntary military to do it all indefinitely for the rest of us. If we were asked to serve in some capacity, I thought most would agree. Guess what - I was initially wrong, and then after a while, I was right. One Proverb keeps haunting me as a reaction to the negative emotion re universal military preparedness. "As you sow, so shall you reap." The permissive generations of the past 40 years chose to not discipline their children, to never say no to them, to be overly protective of their emotional well-being, and those parents created a grave disservice to their children, many of whom are totally self-absorbed and selfish. Even more important, they, the children, were cheated out of the sense of joint responsibility and loyalty. Many listeners who at first were angry at the mention of the Draft thought about it and decided that after all, it would help our nation and our own self worth to participate in our national military preparedness. And, our able-bodied young people would then have a personal reason to love and protect their national home. Even the man who called a local program and threatened to move to Poland with his son in the event of a Draft, I honestly believe would finally agree to stay and participate in our own defense. By way of emails and voice mails to me and other local programs, this topic has brought up many other creative ways of serving our country. Very appealingly especially to Conscientious Objectors, working in forestry, road building, housing for the poor, dealing with pollution, etc., were mentioned by the same listeners who at first were angry about the Draft. Also mentioned was the fairness of a lottery along with the Draft. All of these suggestions are wonderful. And best of all, instead of remaining mildly interested critical spectators of whatever our elected officials decide to do about terrorism, we all could be personally invested, and we all would be stronger. The final thought, it is good to be willing to look at and confront unpopular situations which in the final analysis brings us together and surely would help to conquer the evil in our midst because in unity there is strength. I have a good warm feeling because this has been a moment in time when the best came out of those who confronted their own inner fears and selves and responsibility to their fellow Americans prevailed. If we remain on this track instead of being mired in political divisiveness, without a doubt we will eventually conquer the enemy and be safe and home free. For KSCO and KOMY, this is Kay Zwerling.

Zaleta Praises Santa Cruz, Will Return To Super Flyweight
By Jake Donovan
The handlers for rugged contender Victor 'Nene' Zaleta knew it was an uphill battle the moment that terms were accepted to face Leo Santa Cruz in downtown Los Angeles. Zaleta moved up in weight to face the all-action bantamweight titlist in last weekend's televised co-feature on Showtime.
"We took the fight at a weight he normally doesn't fight at, because those opportunities aren't always presented twice," admitted his handlers, Promociones del Pueblo, in a statement. "The economic (financial) motive was a key factor in the decision. We knew he was at a weight disadvantage but were confident he would offset it with the courage and bravery which defines (his career)."
Zaleta was all heart, but the end result proved to be skill over will. Santa Cruz threw punches non-stop until forcing his opponent to wilt. It took eight-plus rounds to produce that outcome, as Zaleta bravely recovered from three knockdowns before being stopped midway through the ninth round.
The loss was Zaleta's first inside the distance and his second overall defeat at the title level, with both fights taking place outside of his native Mexico. Zaleta (20-3-1, 10KO) fell considerably short in a failed title bid against super flyweight champ Omar Narvaez on the road in Argentina last February.
Last Saturday's showing was his first in the United States. While a move back down below bantamweight is a guaranteed part of his future, he hopes to one day return to the U.S. – or wherever his next big opportunity takes him.
"'Nene' came up short against Santa Cruz, but it was a great learning experience," stated Zaleta's team. "He can now return to his normal weight class with the satisfaction of putting up a great fight and leaving an impression beyond our borders. He assured himself an opportunity at super flyweight or even flyweight, wherever he feels more comfortable."

Frank Warren's Card at Liverpool's Olympia is Called Off
By Terence Dooley
BoxingScene can confirm that this Friday's W.Promotions Ltd. show at Liverpool's Olympia Arena has been called off. British Super flyweight champion Paul Butler was set to headline the show and would have been supported by Stephen Smith, Callum Johnson and Joe Selkirk, amongst others, but they will now wait for new fight dates to come through.
According to Warren's compant, Butler's Commonwealth Super-Flyweight challenge will now take place on Saturday 20th April at Wembley Arena on the multi-title extravaganza headlined by WBO World Light-Heavyweight Champion Nathan Cleverly.
The unbeaten Ellesmere Port talent will challenge Nigerian Yaqub Kareem for his Commonwealth belt alongside Liam Walsh's WBO European Lightweight title defence (Sky Ch. 437/Virgin Ch. 546).
British champ Butler was scheduled to face Kareem on Friday 12th April at the Liverpool Olympia, but although Butler and fellow Ellesmere Port talent Matt Fagan worked hard to sell their tickets allocation of tickets for the venue, the remaining boxers' ticket sales were extremely disappointing which resulted in the show being cancelled.
Butler will now focus on becoming a double champion on a quality-packed show that sees all-action Cleverly headline with the fifth defence of his title and puts his unbeaten record against mandatory challenger Robin Krasniqi exciting and controversial heavyweight Dereck Chisora returns to the ring in a ten-round contest; plus many more. Unbeaten prospect Fagan will also feature on the card in four-round contest.

Boxnation is brilliant. Frank unfortunately always slowly built up his fighters and people are realising it. Heck Boxnation may even educate the British fans and they know who is good or bad.Comment by Ray* on 04-08-2013
He would run Boxnation well for the next 2/3 years then the samething would start with zero fights on that channel.Comment by CraigM on 04-08-2013
What a wanker... Frank needs to pack it in and focus on boxnation which doesn't look to be doing too well either. Carries on like this and he'll harm british boxing badly... AGAIN.Comment by Ray* on 04-08-2013
No way nobody saw this coming.....Yea right, like I said if Ricky Burns had stay with this muppet then we would never see burns-Vasquez or any other competitive fight for burns.Comment by Chrismart on 04-08-2013
I think this card was set for the Olympia as opposed to the Echo Arena. Shame it got called off, but with 2 recent big fight cards in the city maybe it was always likely ticket sales would suffer a…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (15)

Building Strong, Lasting Relationships; One Client at a Time.
Thursday, September 01, 2011
Treasuries and mortgages opened a little better this morning as the bond and mortgage markets continue to move in a very narrow range ahead of tomorrow's August employment data. At 8:30 weekly jobless claims continue to hang above 400K, also in a tight range for the past month; claims were down 12K to 409K, last week's claims were revised up from 417K to 421K, continuing claims were down 18K. Also at 8:30 Q2 productivity declined 0.7% frm 0.3% and unit labor costs jumped 3.3% revised from 2.2%. None of the data had much impact on the rate markets.
Europe's stock markets ended a three day rally today. A manufacturing gauge based on a survey of purchasing managers in the 17-nation euro region fell to 49 in August from 50.4 the month before, London-based Markit Economics said today. That's below an initial estimate of 49.7 published on Aug. 23 and indicates a contraction. U.K. manufacturing shrank the most in more than two years. Prior to the open here the US indexes traded slightly better but not much.
Yesterday the Administration announced the President's awaited speech would be at 8:00 pm Wednesday; we noted that it appeared to be politics as usual in Washington with the Republican candidates holding a debate in California at the same time. Well, last night the President's speech was changed to Thursday; hope springs eternal. Good for the President. Changing the date to Thursday comes when the NFL kicks off the 2011 season with the Packers. There is no time set yet, likely it will be prior to the game. David Gergen, director of Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership and an adviser to Presidents Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, called it "a circus that just casts a deeper shadow on their prospects for getting together on substance"..... "We've dragged a serious debate about jobs into a crazy debate about scheduling a speech and serious people around the world look at it and say, 'What the hell are you doing?" If we base the US economic outlook on our politicians, we are in very deep trouble in the future.
At 9:30 the DJIA opened -10, the 10 yr note +10/32 at 2.20% -2 bp and mortgage prices at 9:30 +5/32 (.15 bp).
The most important data today at 10:00; the August ISM manufacturing index, expected at 48.5 from 50.9 in July; as reported at 50.6, it didn't go negative. The components; employment 51.8 frm 53.5 in July, new orders 49.6 frm 49.2 and prices pd at 55.5 from 59.0. Any index under 50 is considered expansion. A better rep-ort than traders were expecting and rapidly turned markets over. The 10 yr note on the reaction declined from +11/32 to -3/32, mortgage prices prior to the 10:00 report +6/32 (.18 bp), dropped to -6/32 (.18 bp) a change of 12/32 (.37 bp).
July construction spending at 10:00, expected unchanged, fell 1.3%; June however was revised from +0.2% to +1.6%.
Rate markets will continue to resist any rallies through the day as long as the equity market holds the gains at 10:00 on the data. The DJIA was off 4 points prior to 10:00, at 10:10 +70. Look for re-pricing soon unless rate markets find support and bounce back up.

text: merced county Valley Edition Interview: Merced County Farmer Cannon Michael By Joe Moore • Jun 30, 2015 http://baydeltaconservationplan.com/ In recent months, the valley's agriculture industry has been thrust into the national headlines, largely over the debate over how much water farmers use to grow crops. Critics say farmers use 80 percent of the water used by people in California. However farmers say that number is misleading, pointing out they actually use only 40 percent of the state's total water supply, where about 50 percent is set aside for environmental uses. In Mariposa County, 3,200 People May Soon Run Out Of Water By Amy Quinton - Capital Public Radio • Mar 13, 2015 Mike Jenson / Merced Irrigation District A California community that sits between two large reservoirs is running out of water. About 3,200 people in the Sierra Nevada foothill enclave of Lake Don Pedro rely on water from nearby Lake McClure. But the lake level is dangerously low. That's forcing the community to find another supply. As Amy Quinton reports from Sacramento, so far it's come up dry. The Lake Don Pedro community is operating in emergency mode. For the last several weeks, work crews have drilled well after well, hoping to find groundwater. Valley Edition: June 15 - Google In Merced; High Speed Rail With James Fallows, Debbie Poochigian By Ezra David Romero & Joe Moore • Jul 15, 2014 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio This week on Valley Edition we take a look at innovation at Castle Air Force Base in Merced County, learn about the medical backlog in Fresno County, talk with writer James Fallows and Fresno County Supervisor Debbie Poochigian about California High Speed Rail, and speak with NPR's Google's Self-Driving Car And Others Use Merced As A Landing Pad By Ezra David Romero • Jul 15, 2014 Ezra David Romero / Valley Public Radio This is the first story in a two part series by Ezra David Romero about what some are calling a tech boom in Central California. This week we talk Merced, next we explore Fresno. Meet a guy who wakes up and spends his entire day with Google. "I'm Daniel Galindo, I'm a student at the Merced JC," Galindo says. This 22-year-old won't label himself as nerd or a techie; he doesn't have a programming degree or write code. Brown Praises Counties' Creativity In Implementing Realignment By Ben Adler - Capital Public Radio • Apr 2, 2014 Amy Quinton / Capital Public Radio California Governor Jerry Brown is praising counties and law enforcement agencies for their work implementing his landmark criminal justice system overhaul known as "realignment." But as Ben Adler reports from Sacramento, the law enforcement groups are lobbying the governor for a significant change to the program. Speaking to a law enforcement convention in Sacramento, the governor praised counties' creativity under realignment in the two and a half years since it took effect. Under the program, the state shifted responsibility for low-level offenders to counties. Drought May Hurt School Attendance in Central Valley By Katie Orr - Capital Public Radio • Mar 18, 2014 Andrew Nixon / Capital Public Radio Declining school attendance may be the latest side-effect of California's punishing drought. As Katie Orr reports from Sacramento, the state's Superintendent of Public Instruction will visit the Central Valley Wednesday to talk about the problem. School attendance may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the impact of the drought on California. But it is affected. Less water means fewer crops, which means fewer farm jobs. And when the jobs disappear, families of migrant workers move on, taking their school age children with them. Along The Pacific Flyway, California's Drought Raises Concerns For Wildlife By Joe Moore • Mar 18, 2014 Joe Moore The area around Los Banos isn't just a stopover for valley travelers along Highway 152 who are headed for the Central Coast. It's also a vital rest stop for millions of birds from across North America on the Pacific Flyway. Ric Ortega: "If you come out here, you really don't see it all off of any of the major highways. But here we have something that definitely at least from an ecological perspective is equivalent to Yosemite Valley." Four Reasons Why Google Loves The San Joaquin Valley By Joe Moore • Mar 6, 2014 Google.com / YouTube It's around 150 miles from Silicon Valley to Fresno, but over the last few years, Mountain View-based Google has quietly been increasing its presence in the San Joaquin Valley. In fact, the region that's known for its raisins and almonds is now home to some of Google's top research and development projects. Science Museum At Former Castle Air Base to Close By Joe Moore • Aug 23, 2012 A science and technology museum at the former Castle Air Force Base in Atwater is closing its doors due to financial woes. The Merced Sun-Star reports that the non-profit foundation which operates the museum is planning to file for bankruptcy.

Key 1: Win Again at the Point of Attack
Grade: A+
Stanford dominated Arizona State in the trenches during the first meeting between the two teams back in September, and nothing about that advantage changed on Saturday. The Farm Boys established their physical superiority on the second play from scrimmage, when the hulking left side of their offensive line (featuring super sophomores Andrus Peat and Kyle Murphy) paved the way for Tyler Gaffney's 69-yard touchdown scamper. That play muffled Sun Devil Stadium.
Todd Graham's team believed that it had made significant physical strides entering this Pac-12 Championship Game. That progress was certainly not apparent on either side of the ball against the Stanford physical juggernaut. "Their defensive line was the story of the game," Graham said afterward.
Stanford's ultimate victory at the point of attack came on the defensive side of the ball, when Shayne Skov and Zach Hoffpauir spearheaded an epic goal line stand at the end of the third quarter. The Sun Devils were inches from scoring, but Skov timed the snap to stuff a third down quarterback sneak before Hoffpauir -- making a return to his hometown -- blasted into the backfield to freeze the Fork. In our postgame Bootleg Breakdown (above), Hoffpauir told me that he wasn't even supposed to be in the game on that fourth down play, but he dug in to make the pivotal stop anyway.
I snapped this pic in tunnel. My lasting memory from game. Never seen @CoachDavidShaw so happy. @khoagie8 pic.twitter.com/hj9nQOw6g2— David Lombardi (@DavidMLombardi) December 8, 2013
Key 2: Take Away the Run
Grade: B
The Sun Devils were missing stud running back Marion Grice (ankle). D.J. Foster showed explosiveness in his place -- on two plays. In fact, his 51-yard touchdown run and 65-yard scoring reception were the two longest gains the Stanford defense has given up this season. Outside of bad angles and missed tackles on in those two instances, though, the Cardinal turned in another disciplined effort that bottled the home team up. Foster mustered only 11 rushing yards outside of his long touchdown run, while Arizona State did not manage a single sustained scoring drive, though they were averaging 49 points per home game coming in. Their 14 points came courtesy the two aforementioned explosive plays.
As expected, ASU quarterback Taylor Kelly contributed with his legs (73 yards), but Stanford neutralized most of that production with a contained rush and five sacks that took away 37 of his yards.
Key 3: Play the Game on Your Terms: Set Up Kevin Hogan
Grade: A+
Stanford rushed 44 times and passed only 18 times. But given the Cardinal's personnel advantage on Saturday, it's safe to classify that distribution in the "beautiful balance" department. For the first time since this season, Kevin Hogan was fantastic on the road. He made his 12 completions count (each averaged over 23 yards). The Cardinal's playcalling was fantastic: David Shaw firmly committed to the creative run (Graham said ASU was surprised by Stanford's perimeter rushing attack) while peppering in passes with perfect timing.
Jordan Pratt (3 catches, 56 yards) told me he was "licking his chops" before an early 35-yard playaction opportunity. The cornerback was playing the slant, and not the streak. Devon Cajuste later hauled in a 78-yard floater from Hogan that very nearly turned into a 95-yard touchdown. Stanford ran two consecutive fullback dives to Ryan Hewitt before unleashing that bomb coming out of a timeout. Since the Cardinal was operating in the shadow of its own goal post, the Sun Devils were anticipating another conservative run call. A linebacker matched up with Cajuste as a result.
Hogan has proven that he can be very effective when put into proper position to succeed. Credit Mike Bloomgren, Mike Sanford, and the rest of the Cardinal's offensive staff for committing to an extraordinary plan on Saturday that did just that. The power run set up the dagger pass, and Hogan rewarded the staff for their faith in him.
Key 4: Handle the Road
Grade: A+
Entering the game, Stanford was ranked first in the nation when it came to home red zone efficiency, but 109th in the same metric on the road. The Cardinal's one glaring weakness was offensive performance in enemy territory. For Shaw's club to win its second consecutive Pac-12 championship, they would have to reverse 2013 tendencies at Sun Devil Stadium.
Of course, that's exactly what Stanford did. The Cardinal scored on all four of their trips to the red zone, punching in touchdowns on three. Gaffney's fourth down goal line score demoralized the Sun Devils in the second quarter. ASU came up empty on both of their trips inside the 20-yard line. Just like the 2012 team rid itself of the "Oregon problem" at Autzen Stadium last year, Stanford indeed exorcised its road demons in Tempe on Saturday night. The Cardinal's reward is the 100th Rose Bowl Game against Michigan State, a rugged team that will further test the offense's improvement.

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome
|Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome
|Classification and external resources
|240300 269200
|29212 29690
|med/1867 med/1868
In medicine, autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndrome (PGAS),[1] are a heterogeneous group[2] of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected.
There are three "autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes", and a number of other diseases which have endocrine autoimmunity as one of their features.
The syndromes[edit]
- Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APECED or Whitaker's syndrome)
- Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 2
- The most serious but rarest form is the X-linked polyendocrinopathy, immunodeficiency and diarrhea-syndrome, also called XLAAD (X-linked autoimmunity and allergic dysregulation) or IPEX (immune dysfunction, polyendocrinopathy, and enteropathy, X-linked). This is due to mutation of the FOXP3 gene on the X chromosome.[3] Most patients develop diabetes and diarrhea as neonates and many die due to autoimmune activity against many organs. Boys are affected, while girls are carriers and might suffer mild disease.
Other diseases[edit]
Other diseases featuring polycrine autoimmunity:
- Chromosomal abnormalities (Down syndrome) increase the risk of endocrine autoimmunity
- POEMS syndrome - the E is for endocrinopathy; the cause is a paraprotein excreted by a plasmacytoma or multiple myeloma; other features are polyneuropathy, organomegaly (hepatomegaly and splenomegaly), M-protein (paraprotein) and skin changes.
- Several very rare diseases including Lupus and Addison's Disease.
In principle, the component diseases are managed as usual. The challenge is to detect the possibility of any of the above syndromes, and to anticipate other manifestations. For example, in a patient with known Type 2 autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome but no features of Addison's disease, regular screening for antibodies against 21-hydroxylase (a feature of Addison's) may prompt early intervention and hydrocortisone replacement to prevent characteristic crises.

The author has attempted the tremendous task of giving a complete review of blackwater fever from its first recognition as a distinct condition until the present. The mass of literature would make this difficult, but in addition the task is all the more complicated by the lack of any true understanding of the etiology of the disease and the consequent lack of rational and controlled observations relating to its causation and cure. The main part of the book is divided into twelve chapters, of which four are concerned with etiology and the remaining with synonymy, geographic distribution, history, symptoms, treatment, prognosis, prophylaxis, blood, urine and feces, and pathology. Under each chapter the author has collected collated brief excerpts and concise reviews of all available literature, arranged for the most part in chronological sequence. The author points out that many data are of unequal value, but he has refrained from expressing

Another BS cut by Zuffa, Diego Nunes
I can't beleive they cut Nunes. Insane. That dude has been fighting nothing but top level guys and hasn't lost back to back fights at any point in his career. Just got done beating Palaszewski and has wins over Manny and MTB. Just insane.
Nunes was one of the fighters I was most excited about coming across from the WEC.
Can't say he's really done anything of note since then, which is a shame.
Nunes is 3-3 in the UFC overall & 1-2 in his last 3 fights. He has not won back-to-back fights in the UFC. And every time he takes a step up in competition, he loses. I am not surprised by the decision to cut him.
Yeah, let's hate on the UFC some more!
This isn't anywhere near the 'travesty' that cutting Jon Fitch was. Nunes is a mediocre fighter in an increasingly stacked division. Not a big loss, and I doubt that anyone is going to react all that strongly (minus you, lol).
Some serious Zuffa huggers on this board, can't even acknowledge mistakes by Zuffa since I guess they never make mistakes. Insane.
I'm beginning to think EA Sports are behind these cuts! About 50% of the roster on UFC undisputed 3 have now been cut!
People are willing to acknowledge and call out Zuffa for actions and decisions they deem bad for business (which itself is another topic). All you need do is look to fan reaction over Sonnen vs. Jones, or the Jon Fitch release. But you're trying to make a big stink out of what is hardly a shocking or detrimental cut, and no one is going to buy into the hate mongering.

It has been a brutal season for data breaches, from the wholesale theft of customer records numbering in the billions to the exposure of naughty celebrity pictures. More significant to agencies is the case that cost US Investigations Services (USIS) a contract to perform government background checks.
It was bad enough when USIS gained attention as the contractor that vetted NSA leaker Edward Snowden and Washington Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis. But in the wake of an IT breach that might have exposed the files of thousands of Homeland Security employees, the Office of Personnel Management in September said "enough," and dropped the company.
The growing pressure by hackers against high value targets and the volumes of personal and other sensitive information being stolen highlights one of the basic questions of cybersecurity: How do you keep the bad guys out?
Identity management and access control are the front lines of security. The ability to accurately identify users and control what they do within your systems is what separates insiders from outsiders. It has been apparent for some time that the traditional tool for this task – the password – is inadequate for the job, and biometrics is emerging as an alternative.
Which is better? The answer is that neither is adequate for strong, practical security on its own. Each has strengths and weaknesses, and real security requires some combination of these or other technologies.
The password by itself actually is a pretty good tool. It is simple to use, easy to implement and can be reasonably strong. The problem is one of scale. For a user juggling passwords for multiple accounts and for administrators juggling many users, the system quickly becomes unwieldy, and strong security begins to break down. In addition, the steady growth in computing power erodes password security by making dictionary and brute force attacks more practical.
Biometrics – the use of physical traits such as fingerprints, irises, faces or voices to identify persons – is more complex, but is becoming more practical. It offers the promise of better security based on the premise that there is only one you.
Yet it has its drawbacks. All forms of biometrics operate on the "close enough" principle. Whereas a password must be exact to be accepted, matching a biometric trait requires a judgment about whether there is a proper match. This leaves room for mistakes, either as false positives or false negatives. The algorithms making the decision can be tuned depending on the level of security required. But higher security comes at a cost in the form of increased time or computing power to determine a match and by increasing the possibility that a legitimate biometric will be rejected. And although there is only one you, biometric systems can be susceptible to spoofing. A stolen digital template of a biometric trait could be inserted into the authentication process to authenticate the wrong user.
There are other ID management technologies, of course, such as digital certificates, a form of electronic ID vouched for by a trusted party. These can be powerful, but also challenging to manage on a large scale.
The bottom line is, no matter how much these technologies improve, no single tool is likely to be good enough for really practical strong authentication, and it is unlikely that a new and perfect technology will come along any time soon. None of these technologies is a complete failure, either. By combining strengths to offset weaknesses, these common tools can be integrated into multifactor authentication that provides security that is stronger than the sum of its parts.
Government already has a tool that can enable multi-factor authentication, the Personal Identity Verification Card and its military counterpart, the Common Access Card. Taking full advantage of these for access control could go a long way toward improving federal cybersecurity.

There are many ways bad guys attack systems, disrupt infrastructures and steal data, but one of the most common uses an entry point that is vital to Internet communications and yet, it seems, carelessly disregarded: the humble, but crucial, SSL.
Secure Sockets Layer is the standard way of establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client, such as a web browser. All transactions that are needed for modern Internet-based communications and commerce – credit card numbers, personal identifiers such as Social Security numbers, website logins etc. – use SSL.
But despite the moniker, SSL is sometimes not that secure. One particular and apparently growing problem is with improper SSL validation. That was the focus of the GoTo bug discovered early this year (and since patched) in Apple's iOS and Mac OS X. The vulnerability opened up users of those systems to so-called man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, in which those with a "trusted" certificate can insert themselves into a communication stream between systems and read its contents.
Similar concerns are being expressed about Android devices.
Given that there are now some 1.3 million apps in the Google Play store, a million or so of which are free, it would take a long, long time to test each of them to see if they are vulnerable to an MITM attack. Organizations, or individual users, can test a limited number of apps they use without much problem (such as with this method). Testing a wide range of apps to certify that they are OK for people to use is a different matter.
Fortunately, security organizations are starting to catch up with the need. In August, the CERT Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University, which works with many companies and government agencies, introduced CERT Tapioca (Transparent Proxy Capture Appliance), a virtual machine that automates MITM analysis.
According to CERT/CC researcher Will Dorman, Tapioca so far is only catching low-hanging fruit, but it at least doesn't take up any of his time, and it's already caught several hundred vulnerable applications in just a few weeks of use.
The issue should be getting even more press than it has, particularly in government circles, since there are expectations that Android devices could become more attractive in the public sector with the introduction and further development of Samsung's Knox containerization technology. Apart from device-specific elements of Knox, which Samsung is keeping to itself, most of the technology could find itself incorporated in Google's next generation operating system, Android L.
Samsung itself got some criticism late in 2013, when researchers from Ben Gurion University in Israel said they had found a vulnerability on a Galaxy S4 device that was using Knox, but Samsung later said that wasn't a fault with Knox itself. The company also said Knox offers additional protection against MITM attacks through mobile device management and a feature that allows traffic only from designated and secure apps to be sent via VPN tunnel.
Altogether, it's not been a good year for SSL. In April, a major vulnerability in OpenSSL, the so-called Heartbleed bug, was revealed, one that had been around for over a year before anyone noticed it. That was also fixed, but it's still an ongoing concern. Researchers at IBM also recently reported that, though attacks using Heartbleed have quieted down, there might still be as many as 250,000 servers left unpatched.
The OpenSSL Project, pushed by the flak it got from the Heartbleed fiasco, for the first time recently published the policy of how it handles security issues. Internally, it says, it divides security issues into low, moderate and high severity and will notify the openssl-announce list and update the organization's home page when any fixes are planned.
SSL users can also get help through a recently started SSL Blacklist, an online and downloadable resource of SSL certificates associated with malware or botnet activities.
None of the potential problems with SSL are all that new, but with attackers becoming ever more sophisticated in their methods, as is the malware they use to disrupt systems and extract sensitive data, at least those problems seem to be getting more attention, along with tools to address them.

This week's high-profile hack is celebrity pictures stolen from iPhone accounts in the Apple cloud. Such overexposure highlights one of the first rules of digital security: If you don't want to see a photo posted all over the web, don't take it.
But it also highlights another rule, one that is applicable to agencies whose workers are using mobile devices: If you want to protect digital data, you need to know what data is being collected and where it goes. This is especially important with smartphones and tablets that increasingly rely on the cloud for data backup, raising questions about privacy and security.
This service is great if your phone is stolen, if you drop your tablet into the swimming pool, or you just upgrade to a new model and want to keep your settings and data. The problem is that backups can happen without users being aware, and not all clouds are secure.
The celebrity iPhone hacks apparently occurred because of a flaw in the device that allowed someone to guess passwords and access data in the account. But the vector and exploit used are not important here. What is important is that data can be exposed when it is moved to the cloud in an unmanaged way.
When it comes to embarrassing photos, everyone is responsible for his or her own security. But if you are using a device for work, you also are responsible to your agency to see that work-related data, even something as prosaic as geolocation, is properly secured. And you can't do that if you don't know what is being backed up. Most, if not all agencies, block automatic commercial cloud backups from agency-issued devices and from managed personal devices. But that still leaves a large number of personal devices used informally on the job on which personal and government data are mixed.
Data from iPhones, iPads and iPod touch is backed up on iCloud, which provides 5 GB of storage to users. According to Apple, "iCloud automatically backs up your device over Wi-Fi every day while it's turned on, locked and connected to a power source."
Android offers a data backup service with remote cloud storage that provides a restore point for application data and settings. This is application specific, however, and not all Android devices include the backup transport function.
This backup is limited, according to Android. "You cannot read or write backup data on demand and cannot access it in any way other than through the APIs provided by the Backup Manager." Android also warns, "because the cloud storage and transport service can differ from device to device, Android makes no guarantees about the security of your data while using backup. You should always be cautious about using backup to store sensitive data, such as usernames and passwords."
Windows Phone 8.1 lets users opt-in to data backup. Users can turn the service on and choose how the phone backs up apps, settings, texts, photos and videos to the cloud.
The bottom line is that agencies and employees should be aware of the backup policy and mechanism of the mobile devices being used on the job and actively manage these options to ensure that sensitive data is not being moved somewhere where it could be exposed.

Security threats to virtualized environments is not a new subject, but it's one that should be gaining prominence as organizations, and particularly those in government, virtualize more in order to cut costs and improve IT efficiencies. If agencies don't consider the security implications, they're opening themselves up to a world of hurt.
That's especially true since the world of malware innovators is not standing still, as a new report from Symantec points out. As fast as defenses are erected, attackers come up with ways to get around them.
One of the more recent exploits involves attacks that are designed to wait out the automatic malware detection and analysis defenses that are increasingly being built into virtual systems. Some trojans will simply wait for multiple mouse clicks to occur before they decrypt themselves and start up their payload, and that can make it all but impossible for automated systems to come to any timely conclusion about the threat.
"Time is on [the malware's] side," said Candid Wüest, author of the Symantec report. "If the sample does not behave maliciously within the first five to 10 minutes, the analysis system will most likely deem the file as harmless."
This in turn has prompted attackers to develop other methods of evading automated analysis on virtual machines, such as focusing more on the user's interaction. The malware waits, for example, for three left-button clicks on the mouse before executing. In that case any kind of user interaction, say the use of a CAPTCHA box, a test to determine if a user is human, could prompt action.
Those kinds of exploits are harder to patch on virtual machines and require some background monitoring to generate the necessary interaction triggers, Wüest said.
The most complete government guide to virtualization security is NIST's three-year old SP 800-125 Guide to Security for Full Virtualization Technologies. It says that the security of a full virtualization solution is heavily dependent on the individual security of its components – from hypervisor and host operation systems to applications and storage. Other sound security practices, such as keeping up to date with security patches, are also necessary.
That's all true, but it doesn't seem to be enough in the face of what appears to be an inevitable push by malware designers into the virtual space. And it could be that virtualization attacks are now an embedded feature in most malware. Up to 82 percent of the malware tracked by Symantec was able to run on virtual machines.
It's not as if organizations haven't been warned. As long ago as 2009, the Cloudburst Attack showed how attackers could go through a guest virtual machine to attack the host, in many ways an IT administrator's worst nightmare. In 2012, the Crisis malware, which targeted Windows and Mac systems, was shown to also be capable of sneaking onto virtual machines if a specific image was installed on it.
Given the range of threats now facing virtualized environments, Symantec recommends a number of best practices for organizations to follow:
The overall message, which NIST stresses, is that the security of virtual machines and networks needs to be handled just as intensely as that of other IT. Given the rate of innovation on the malware side, that might not be all that's needed, but it will go a long way.

John Chambers, the Chief Executive Officer Cisco Systems Inc has said that the company is aiming at a revenue growth target of between 5 and 7 per cent.
The company is already the world's largest maker of computer networking equipment and is now aiming to be a leading supplier of information technology to large businesses by expanding its presence in the services and software market. Chambers said that he wants the company to have wide awareness and should emerge as a pace setter in the industry.
Cisco is looking at new markets for growth as it faces increasing competition from Juniper Networks, Hewlett- Packard and Arista Networks. The company is aiming to expand its position in the services and software market mainly through acquisitions of companies with strong sales and profit records in the industry.
While speaking at financial analysts' conference in New York, Chambers predicted that the services are likely to become a larger part of the company in the coming years. He said that services are likely to contribute 25 percent of sales. Services accounted for 21 percent of Cisco's $46.1 billion in revenue in the previous financial year. Cisco is aiming to double its software revenue in the coming future.
