Thank you for the your response! as usual, it was very fast!
I have another question related to my previous email (see below).
You suggested to use "xtivreg2, fe with options robust bw(5)" in order to
obtain statistics robust to heteroskedasticity and to the autocorrelation
generated by the 4 lags in my overlaping sample (of data calculated using 5
years). I am currently using this method!!!
But now, I would like to correct the bias in the "estimates" (the
coefficients) generated by the MA error structure. I was wondering If I can
use xtslg. Though, xtslg has not the option bw(5) and I am not sure how to
set up the within panel correlations. In particular, I am not very sure how
to set up the corr(corr) and rhotype(calc) options. If you can advise me
in this respect I would really appreciate it!
Many thanks

Professor John Abell discusses student research on economic impact of renovation of historic properties
The following story was published in the Lynchburg News & Advance on Oct. 5, 2010. It is reprinted with permission.
By Bryan Gentry
Time doesn't heal all wounds; for some houses in Lynchburg's inner city, it only brings more blight as the homes fail to attract investors and residents.
A Lynchburg nonprofit is trying to turn back the clock for 13 homes in neighborhoods near downtown. Lynchburg Neighborhood Development Foundation has started turning the homes into 24 apartments for low-income residents.
Hilltop Homes, LNDF's latest renovation project, is restoring 13 homes in areas including College Hill and White Rock Hill. The homes have a combined assessed value of $253,000, and LNDF is spending about $3 million to renovate the homes, plus about $2 million in administrative, legal, and development costs.
All but one of the homes on the list are more than 100 years old; the oldest is 150 years old, according to city records. Some are "problem houses" with long records of building code violations.
In less than a year, Executive Director Laura Dupuy wants to see the vacant buildings turned into beautiful, occupied homes reminiscent of how they appeared when they were first built. That could be a step toward bringing more improvement to surrounding properties.
"The neighborhoods need investments … I think there's a huge economic lift to have present use of these old buildings," Dupuy said. "It makes for a better neighborhood, and it uses the buildings in a way that is positive for the neighborhood."
LNDF is a nonprofit that provides affordable rental and home ownership programs. In the past 12 years, its College Hill Homes and Central City Homes projects renovated 24 buildings to create 65 apartments with below-market rents.
Those projects have maintained high occupancy rates and Dupuy calls each a success, but the expensive renovations have prompted questions about the best ways to use public dollars to help the poor.
The Hilltop Homes project is being paid for with $3 million in low-income tax credits, long-term financing and $120,000 in federal HOME money, which was awarded by City Council after recommendations from a citizens advisory committee.
The costs of the program sparked concerns from Walter Fore, a member of the advisory committee. He said LNDF has done good work, including some homes on his street, but he wonders whether the renovations are the best use of money.
"I don't know whether it's … in the best interest of the entire community," he said.
Fore questioned whether new rental properties are necessary before existing low-income projects fill up. He also felt that too much money was being poured into renovations.
"If you're going to spend $195,000 in repair work, why don't you tear it down and build it new from the ground up?" said Fore.
Dupuy said that LNDF paid for a market study to see if the city has a demand for more low-income housing. That was a requirement for receiving low-income housing tax credits.
The market study reported that there is a demand for more low-income housing in the downtown area. "We don't do this just because we think it's a good idea. We've got to back it up," Dupuy said.
As for the costs of the renovations, Dupuy said there has to be a judgment call. LNDF chooses homes with historic value that are worth preserving, she said.
"I'm just not going to tear down a house that's worthwhile," she said. "I think there's just too many other opportunities."
The type of new construction that would be less expensive than renovation would lack the historical character that defines the older neighborhoods in Lynchburg, she said. "You cannot build those buildings anymore. They're worth preserving."
LNDF also hopes historic renovations attract private investments into depressed areas around downtown Lynchburg. Economics students at Randolph College have looked for those kinds of ripple effects, and they may have found them, said professor John Abell.
After a few homes in a neighborhood are renovated, the value of surrounding homes tends to rise, he said. That seems to be true in the older neighborhoods where LNDF and other organizations have restored homes, he said.
"My sense from having driven that neighborhood is that there are a lot of … fine old homes that were really done right back in the day," he said. "I see a lot of them in various stages of renovation."
As more people start living in those areas, it could create stronger demand for local businesses, such as grocery stores, that would improve the quality of life more, Abell said. "The hope is that these multiplier effects will go far beyond single-family homes."

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — An assault investigation downtown led to a search after a police say a man ran from them and jumped into the Cape Fear River. It happened Friday morning around 1:15 a.m.
Police were talking with Caleb Mercer, 20, after they saw him running from the scene of a fight. Officers say as they tried to get his information, he handed them someone else's driver license. As an officer was writing Mercer a citation, the officer was distracted by two other men running toward him. That's when police say Mercer took off toward the river.
Investigators say when a New Hanover County Sheriff's deputy approached Mercer, he jumped into the river at the foot of Market Street and swam all the way across to the river to the Battleship North Carolina.
Wilmington Police, SABLE and the State Ports Authority searched for Mercer for about an hour. They found him in a marsh near the Battleship.
Mercer surrendered, and officers took him into custody around 2 a.m. Police say Mercer is charged with hinder/obstruct/delay public officers, consuming alcohol under 21, obtain/attempt to obtain alcohol with a drivers license of another person and city code violation of swimming in the river from the park.
We requested to talk to Mercer in jail. A Sheriff's Office spokesman said Mercer had bonded out, and his mother said he could not talk with us.

Nach Waxman's Brisket Recipe
This week in the Forward, noted restaurant critic Craig LaBan profiles the legendary Nach Waxman, owner of the Kitchen Arts & Letters — the most significant cookbook store in America, possibly in the world.
In addition to Waxman's impeccable taste in cookbooks, he is famous for his brisket recipe, which calls for no water and slicing the meat halfway through cooking. Check out his recipe below and let us know your favorite way to make brisket in the comments.
This is the go-to recipe for knowledgeable brisket lovers. Who then share it with others. Who share it with — perhaps — the Obamas and other notable families. So warm and welcoming, the secret is what Nach did way before anyone else: slice the meat midway through cooking. If you serve this the day after you make it, reheat, covered, for about one hour in a 325°F oven.
Serves 10 to 12
1 (6-pound) first-cut beef brisket, trimmed so that a thin layer of fat remains
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons corn oil
8 medium onions, peeled and thickly sliced
3 tablespoons tomato paste
Kosher salt
2 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled and quartered
1 carrot, peeled and trimmed
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Lightly dust the brisket with flour, then sprinkle with pepper to taste. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large ovenproof enameled cast iron pot or other heavy pot with a lid just large enough to hold the brisket snugly.
Add the brisket to the pot and brown on both sides until crusty brown areas appear on the surface here and there, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Transfer the brisket to a platter, turn up the heat a bit, then add the onions to the pot and stir constantly with a wooden spoon, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the onions have softened and developed a rich brown color but aren't yet caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat and place the brisket and any accumulated juices on top of the onions.
Spread the tomato paste over the brisket as if you were icing a cake. Sprinkle with salt and more pepper to taste, then add the garlic and carrot to the pot. Cover the pot, transfer to the oven, and cook the brisket for 11⁄2 hours.
Transfer the brisket to a cutting board and, using a very sharp knife, slice the meat across the grain into approximately 1/8-inch-thick slices. Return the slices to the pot, overlapping them at an angle so that you can see a bit of the top edge of each slice. The end result should resemble the original unsliced brisket leaning slightly backward. Check the seasonings and, if absolutely necessary, add 2 or 3 teaspoons of water to the pot.
Cover the pot and return to the oven. Lower the heat to 325°F and cook the brisket until it is fork-tender, about 2 hours. Check once or twice during cooking to make sure that the liquid is not bubbling away. If it is, add a few more teaspoons of water — but not more. Also, each time you check, spoon some of the liquid on top of the roast so that it drips down between the slices.
It is ready to serve with its juices, but, in fact, it's even better the second day.
From "The Brisket Book: A Love Story With Recipes" (Andrews McNeel Publishing), by Stephanie Pierson. Adapted from "The New Basics Cookbook" by Julee Rosso and Sheila Lukins (Workman, 1989).

Hi all
I'm running my second Leicester half marathon in October. I'll be 57 years old by then and I'm seeking advice on a training plan.
Last year I completed the run in 2:21. I'd only had 7 weeks running experience to go from zero to 13.1 miles so I was pretty pleased with that. Since then I've run several 5Ks with a recent PB of 24:16 and ran a 10K in May in 54:57.
Runner's World race time predictor, based on my 5K PB, says I should run the half in 1:51. I'm therefore using the RW 10 week training plan for runners targeting a 1:50+ finish time.
I'm bothered that it might not be appropriate as it doesn't seem to take age into consideration. If it's geared towards say a 30 year old male hoping to finish in 1:50, then I'd be likely to run it a great deal slower.
I've just started week 4 of the plan and I'm actually getting on fine with it. My worry is that at the moment it seems a little too easy. It only includes one distance run per week culminating in "11/12 miles as slow as you like" on week 8. Far be it from me to doubt Bruce Tulloh, I do realise that I could be completely wrong, but I'm worried that the programme isn't right for me. If it is, I'll be delighted of course!
Does anyone have a view or advice they could pass on please?
Thanks in advance.
I don't think age makes any difference. If you can do the plan, it's probably fine. And I know plenty of people older than you that run half marathons faster than 1:50 (and people younger that don't).
Yup, agree with literatin, age shouldn't/doesn't factor in times. I ran my first Half a couple of weeks ago in 2:13, I'm 54 and met a guy who did 1:50 and he's 71,
Fitness however does play a (big) role. I guess if your following a 1:50 plan and find it easy you might up the LSR a bit? or, have a nice 'easy' HM in October
I would think the only think to be wary of is sleep and food as your recovery will take longer.
Join us on the sub 1:50 thread:
Thanks guys, I really appreciate the feedback, so quick too!
Literatin - It's good to hear that age shouldn't be an issue with a training plan - that was a real concern.
Andi - I hadn't understood the importance and value of the LSR until reading your comments and doing some reasearch.
I'm going to stick to the plan and I'm certain it isn't going to be easy in October!
Tim - good points about sleep & food and thanks for the link to the sub 1:50 thread, great stuff.

ReggaeLand Productions is a Barcelona based production house, which was and originally conceived as a radio show under the name of Reggaeland FM in 1997, it eventually became a recording label in 2004 and was renamed Reggaeland. Productions started out in Jamaica and involved Spanish vocal artists Nano Bravo, Queen Smiley and Supah Bassie, recorded over Jamaican riddims and eventually released as 7". It was in 2009 that the label finally begun to publish albums from mainly upcoming Spanish artists, who voiced Reggaeland's own produced riddims. Jah Nattoh "En Buenas Manos" was the first official release, followed by Miguel Arraigo "La Esencia Vital" and shortly after by Maia "La Llamada".
The year 2011 marked a turning point with 3 very solid releases: "Cultura Accidental" from the Catalan reggae band Txilum, the first one riddim album "Dem Talking Riddim" featuring Jamaican artists and another 'one riddim' album by the name of "Reggae Reasoning Riddim". A growing interest for Reggaeland's corporative riddims from overseas and the existing link with the land of reggae – Jamaica – led the team to start serious recordings with Jamaican artists.
Eager to rescue the original Reggae values and to promote conscious productions, Reggaeland decided to turn its focus on new generations of Jamaican worthy upcoming artists – alongside the brilliant Spanish ones it already involved – with the aim to help establish a new breed of conscious Reggae artists. In 2012 the label released the successful "Cultura Riddim", Malijah's album "Dancin' Shoes", the one riddim set "Hold Di Trinity", and 2 more albums, "Warrior Of Jah Army" by Singer Jah and "No Fear No Man" by Anthony Que. In the autumn of that year Chantelle Ernandez released her debut album "Gimme What's Mine".
One of their current riddims is called "High On Love". This 'one riddim' album is divided into three sections. The first ten tunes are the reggae mixes of the riddim, the next three are so called hip hop mixes and the last four are the dancehall mixes. The riddim is sweet, traditional one drop and suited for sultry lovers tunes. The backing even offers some (synth) violins without becoming overproduced. God job guys! The opening tune comes from Anthony Que, Rastaman House, a strong tune, not being a roots tune considering the title, but a wonderful love song. Prince Jahved brings the awesome tune I Often Wonder, an impeccable roots tune. Roberto Sanchez is a young producer, musician, singer and sound engineer from Santander, Spain who has been active in the scene for many years. With his tune Mother Of My Child he praises his empress to the max.
Singer Jah hails from France, but relocated to Jamaica at the age of 15 where he started a career as singer. His vocal delivery on Help 4 Di Youths makes a powerful impression and made us spin the tune more than once. Wayne Daniel's Give Me Your Heart is a 100% lovers tune, brought in good style by this Jamaican crooner. Spanish artists U-Rie, Supa Bassie and Sr. Wilson's efforts are also well worth checking out. Check out fi sure the combination tune Children No Cry by Sr. Wilson in company of deejay Rapsusklei. Superb offering! The dancehall renditions are well done remixes, with a subtle 80's dancehall flavour. The hip hop mixes are aimed at the younger, crossover sensitive public.
Very enjoyable set!

Report: Big 12 still raking in SEC-level cash
Getty Images
It's a bad time for the Big 12. The conference isn't signing blue chip prospects at the rate of its peers, isn't producing draft picks at the rate of its peers and isn't reaching and winning big games at the rate of its peers.
But the Big 12 is still getting paid at the rate of its peers.
The league's contracts with ESPN and FOX combined with its 10-team set up have allowed the Big 12 to keep pace with the SEC and Big Ten and remain ahead of the ACC and Pac-12 in financial distribution. The Dallas Morning News's Big 12 writer Chuck Carlton tweeted on Friday the league's per-school distribution will again grow 10 percent to more than $33 million in 2017-18.
The SEC distributed just north of $40 million in 2016-17, while the Big Ten was at $33 million by 2014-15.
However, since the Big 12 does not have its own television network, its conference distributions do not include third-tier rights, which its schools keep and sell on their own — like the Longhorn Network. So schools like Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas are likely getting paid equal or above their SEC and Big Ten peers.
Now if only they could start recruiting and winning like them, too.
Former Texas DT Jordan Elliott headed to Mizzou
Former Texas defensive tackle Jordan Elliott will now be a Missouri Tiger, he announced on Friday.
Elliott chose Missouri to follow Brick Haley, his defensive line coach in Austin that landed at Mizzou after Charlie Strong's firing.
"They're a program that's on the come up, SEC ball is the highest level," Elliott said in an interview with Power Mizzou. "Coach Haley is one of the best D-Line coaches out there. Missouri's a powerhouse for defensive linemen. They're coming and going first round every year. That's real appealing to me.
"I talked to coach Haley and got it rolling."
Elliott was a Signing Day addition to Strong's 2016 class who was committed to Michigan before his late flip. He said that his one season in Austin amounted to a year-long version of buyer's remorse.
"There's a lot of speculation going around, but at the end of the day I just wasn't happy there," he said. "It's nothing against the coaches at Texas, they're great coaches. It's a great program and I really learned a lot of things, but I just never really enjoyed Texas since I first got there."
Elliott posted eight tackles and 1.5 TFLs in six appearances as a true freshman last season before suffering a torn MCL against Iowa State in October.
He would have been in line for starter's snaps had he remained on Tom Herman's squad this fall. Instead, Elliott will sit out the 2017 campaign and have three years remaining to compete as a Tiger beginning in '18.

Nebraska WR Stanley Morgan avoids felony pot possession charge
Getty Images
One of the top playmakers in Nebraska's passing game has avoided what was originally a serious legal charge.
According to KETV-TV in Omaha, Stanley Morgan was arrested following a traffic stop May 6 in Port Orange, Fla., for possession of 21.4 grams of marijuana; according to the penal code in the state of Florida, possession of more than 20 grams of weed is considered a felony. However, the television station wrote, "prosecutors charged the case as 'possession of cannabis not more than 20 grams,' making it a misdemeanor."
Why the the charge against Morgan went from a potential felony to a misdemeanor — or reduced as the Associated Press reported — wasn't detailed. A misdemeanor possession of paraphernalia charge was dropped as well.
Cornhuskers defensive back Antonio Reed was also in the vehicle that was driven by his teammate and was charged with misdemeanor pot possession as well.
"Head Coach Mike Riley and the Athletics Department are aware of a recent incident in Florida involving Stanley Morgan Jr.," a statement from the university began. "We will have no additional comment until we have all information regarding this matter."
Morgan's 33 receptions for 453 yards were second on the team last season. With Jordan Westerkamp's departure, the junior is the Cornhuskers' leading returning receiver.
Also a junior, Reed played in 22 games last season. He was credited with 22 tackles.

January 9, 2013 By Larry Karisny
I am now on my 27th article focusing on critical infrastructure security starting back in May of 2010, so I thought it time for a little New Year review.
I wrote and interviewed from the perspective of actually being in the business as a recognized cybersecurity expert, advisor and speaker. Digital Communities' publishing of my articles has allowed me to disclose the problems we face and work with the best in the business, which I want to share with you.
This cybersecurity summary contains comments and quotes from past articles and is a collaboration of the real problems we face with expert opinions on how we are to rapidly obtain true cybersecurity for our critical infrastructure.
Photo: Larry Karisny
We start with one big problem. Internet architecture was never made for security. One of my earliest articles quoted the father of the Internet Vint Cerf by saying, "One of things incumbent on all of us is to introduce strong authentication into the fabric of the smart grid. We did not do that with the Internet." The Internet was built as one big open collaboration messaging system using a series of numbers (IP addresses) as identifiers. Great for sharing information when there were a few hundred Internet users -- as in the early days -- but not the architecture you want to use with today's volume of Internet transactions. Even under this design, there were some amiable efforts toward security, but it has become kind of like putting a finger in the dam -- and the dam is ready to break. The biggest wake up call hit us after 9/11 when we started to review the security of our critical infrastructure and took an in-depth look at upgrading our power grid to smart networked technologies. The security vulnerabilities were shocking, and connecting them to the open Internet using legacy security technologies is not an option. It is broken and we need to fix it.
I have been accused in my past articles of hyping the problems of smart-grid security. As I have attended conferences and closed-door meetings, what I have found is just the opposite. Frankly, many cyber breaches have not been disclosed due to business reasons or national security concerns. This stuff happening now is not some cute virus that might take your family pictures. Speaking at a panel at the RSA Security Conference in San Francisco in 2010, I quoted Matthew Carpenter, senior security analyst of InGuardian as saying, "The cost factor here is what's turned on its head. We lose control of our grid, that's far worse than a botnet taking over my home PC." Cybersecurity in critical infrastructure is a whole new ballgame with the potential of unimaginable devastation.
In a later article, Scott Borg, director and chief economist of the U.S. Cyber Consequences Unit, calculated the value of smart-grid security compared to the expense of a power-grid security breach. He compared it to plunging into the Dark Ages with the first few days being essentially inconsequential from an economic standpoint. "As you approach the fifth day, however, things change quickly. There is a precipitous drop in economic activity, and by the seventh day, the economy is at 30 percent capacity. This was quite startling… emphasizing the importance of not underestimating the consequences of a prolonged failure in the grid."
Early on, I was reprimanded for calling this Cyber War because a real declaration of war needs to be approved by Congress. Call it what you want. It is real and occurring, and has the potential of stealing billions and killing millions. Leon Panetta earlier warned the Senate by stating, "The next Pearl Harbor we confront could very well be a cyber attack that cripples our grid, our security systems, our financial systems, our governmental systems. ... If you shut down our power grid."
If targeted cybersecurity breaches are not war, then they certainly are the perfect weapons. Minimal collateral damage while being able to specifically target what you want to take down. You can't beat that as an offensive weapon or even as a retaliatory attack method. The super viruses Stuxnet and Flame proved this, although the capability of morphing it and throwing it back at an adversary is a bit concerning. The fact of the matter is that the first shot has been fired and retaliatory responses are occurring. Sounds a lot like war to me.
I followed both broadband stimulus grants and the smart grid grants. The interesting byproduct of both grants was the realization of the terrible problem we have in securing the network systems and business processes that control our critical infrastructure. Viewing our power grid was like seeing a relative you haven't seen in 50 years, finding that they're exactly the same as they were 50 years ago, and then giving them an iPad as a gift. This is the same thing that happened when hundreds of companies started to deluge power companies with their high technology solutions that could be used upgrade the power grid. Culture shock? They didn't even share the same industry acronyms.
So what did they do with all the smart grid money? They put an intelligent device (smart meter) in millions of homes with little or no concern with security for the end user or the grid network that, in most cases, were non-existent. So have we gotten smart about security? In most cases no, and sadly, from smart grid suppliers to the power companies they serve, what I have witnessed is a lot of people either sticking their heads in the sand or passing the security hot potatoes from device to chip set to software company with no one accepting responsibility for this serious security issue. So how did industry and government work on correcting this security nightmare? Compliance, standards, certifications and mandates.
I have so many quotes on why compliance doesn't mean you are secure I am not sure where to start. Bob Lockhart, Pike Research; Patrick C. Miller president and CEO of EnergySec; and Eric Gunther, CTO and co-founder of EnerNex have all clearly stated to me that compliance does not mean our systems are secure. In a recent ICS Cybersecurity conference hosted by Joe Weiss, CEO of Applied Control Solutions and the 12-year conference coordinator and expert in the cybersecurity of industrial control systems, discussed the pros and cons of these well-intended oversight organizations. In his conference discussions, he recognized the value of these organizations, but also referred to a government release document that specifically disclosed the most vulnerable areas in the power grid. This is what happens when you get 1,000 eyes on things and with hundreds of meetings often requiring public disclosure.
I attended a cybersecurity conference UTC Telecom 2012 where keynote speaker Mark Weatherford, deputy undersecretary for cybersecurity for the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) at the Department of Homeland Security, asked who felt competent in their knowledge of cybersecurity. One or two hands went up out of the more than 500 in the audience. Weatherford responded by saying we need to prepare our work force and find talent "to prepare the next generation for cybersecurity. Gaps in talent mean gaps in security." The issues of cybersecurity are clearly a public/private issue requiring absolute cooperation from both sectors if we are to achieve national security.
We even run into the problem of how to secure the intellectual property of cyber-security. In a recent interview, DC patent attorney Ted Wood, who leads the Parks IP Law Grid Industry Group, stated, "The tendency to rely only on trade secret protection for all cybersecurity and encryption innovations may be too risky. So wherever possible, companies should protect their key intellectual property by filing for patents early in the development process." He went on to say that Washington already recognizes the urgent need for effective cybersecurity. "But we must more efficiently harness American ingenuity to address the challenges we are facing in defending our critical infrastructure, especially the power grid, from cyber threats"
To understand how cybersecurity works today, you need to know two security disciplines. Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). One of the best definitions I found wasIDS vs. IPS Explained. Both systems are plagued with problems that require new security architectures. No more band aids. We need serious change in both architectures. First let's look at IPS.
The biggest problem with IPS is that they use encryption keys that are stored and managed. Remember what Vint Cert said about authentication. The Internet was an open architecture never really designed for authentication. Secondly, stored keys have been mismanaged for a long time and can get lost -- even stolen -- right out of the RSA and also seen on networks. Recent theft of RSA keys even put Department of Defense contractors like Lockheed Martin in jeopardy from targeted nation-state attacks. The problem with current security architectures is that they are doomed to failure due to their designs offering at best patches rather than real security.
Current IDS solutions watch data and then notify concerns of potential intrusions using historical database information. In the real-time world of data streaming, this historical approach is not adequate. Even worse is when an authorized individual takes an improper action in the business process. Current IDS solution would in most cases consider this an acceptable data input. If Intrusion detection is to be accurate, it must watch both data and human process actions. Current IDS solutions are adding limited solutions to these human actions in what they call white boarding but even these approaches are limited, expensive and based on historical data which may be too late.
In a recent Government Technology magazine year-end review, A Summary of The Top 2013 Cybersecurity Predictions, Michigan CSO Dan Lohrmann surfed the Net looking for the top blogs and articles that both recap online security trends from the past year, as well as offer new cybersecurity predictions for the coming year. The vendor responses seem to be a litany of expected breaches.
My concern is the lack of response as to solutions that will effectively detour these attacks. Actually, if these solutions were working properly, who would even care about these attacks? We need simple, impenetrable security that can, in real time, lock out and detect cyber attacks. We cannot effectively do it using current security architectures.
No more tricky fixes
There is no secret that today's security technologies are made with back doors. This has been done intentionally for years in both the public and private sectors. There are practical reasons like that time you forgot your password and had to tell which dog you liked best or try to remember the spelling of your mother's maiden name to gain access. Back doors are also sometimes inserted purposely by the developer for debugging reasons. There are national security mandates and industry requirements that are put in all trying to find that perfect balance between security and getting in when they need to. It's a tough balance, but we need to start somewhere, and I think machine-to-machine (M2M) applications in critical infrastructure are a good start.
The problem with back doors in security is that today's software and even physical chip set acid baths can detect them. The magnitude and concern for these security back doors is so great that DARPA has designed software to find and fix these security hatches. The master of back doors in security -- the NSA -- is ready to release Perfect Citizen, which was designed to detect cyber assaults on things like power grids, nuclear plants and other critical infrastructure.With hundreds of smart phone apps and new Internet-of-Things devices creating new M2M applications every day, we can't start fast enough to minimally target where impenetrable and complete security solutions must be deployed.
As a security consultant and advisor, I have been able to review lots of cybersecurity designs. When searching for the best solutions, I tried to keep my eyes open for new approaches rather than just putting patches on the same old stuff. The general criteria was to find an impenetrable prevention security solution that also offered real-time detection and prediction capabilities that would be inexpensive, easy to manage and easy to deploy. To keep from the faulty designs of the past, I found I needed some changes in the approach to cybersecurity. The result of my search was meeting some pretty smart people that used a combination of complexity and common sense in developing their new security architectures. Here are the pieces to the puzzle.
I earlier discuss the problems with encryption keys is viewing them on the network, theft and mismanagement. This is a big problem with current solutions that are just waiting for more problems. A start to the correction of these problems was discussed in my earlier interview Cybersecurity and 'Smart Encryption' with Prem Sobel, who solved the encryption key problem by creating what he called "a random data generator that generates-destroys-recreates keys and passwords on demand." It's kind of like giving your keys to the whole neighborhood to use, then changing the locks in milliseconds while you are asking for the keys back so your can reuse them. Try opening that door." A little common sense with a lot of math, and Sobel's solution has stunned the world of cryptography. He continued by saying that his security solutions "were pen-tested by the best -- including some noted hackers in Ukraine and Russia."
In another recent interview article, Cybersecurity in Today's World, Curt Massey added another critical piece to security, offering the ultimate in common sense security. His company's solution, "You can't attack what you can't see … or touch". So Massey's people made their security solution invisible to hackers, and invited an eclectic and diverse group of highly skilled pentesters and outright hackers to give it their best efforts to penetrate it. One shadowy hacker's response was quite telling: "I don't have time for fake targets, plug wire into Internet." The "fake target" was a series of live servers sending a data-rich stream into the "wild" Internet and back; unauthorized hackers just can't see or affect a network thus protected. Massey added that, "most of humanity seems to believe that hacking will always be with us; popular culture, movies, books -- all just accept that we will forever be afflicted with it. We refused to accept that premise."
The final piece of the puzzle was to find a real-time IDS solution detecting both man and machine security breaches simultaneously and in real time. This tough but necessary requirement to achieve cybersecurity led me to Toronto, where I found inventor and security pioneer Rajeev Bhargava.
Bhargava took a completely different look at cyber-security. In my interview article with him, A New Way of Detecting Cybersecurity Attacks, he discussed his patented invention of using anomaly detection for real-time viewing and securing business process actions not just data. "We need to stop looking at zeros and ones and recognize that a digitally enhanced action is just an extension of a human action, and they must be viewed simultaneously if we are to achieve true security," he said. "With our solution, a single event (live data element) can be checked for anomaly instantly and acted upon.... with current IDS solutions, the context is not the business process but rather the IT analyst or mathematicians who generate the rules, patterns and algorithms."
There is not a security publication that I have read that is not predicting an increase in cybersecurity attacks this year. Legacy security solutions are showing that they were never meant to scale to the volumes of interactions occurring in today information age. These older security solutions are becoming too complex, too expensive, can't scale and are too difficult to manage. We must look in terms of new security architectures if we are to rapidly achieve the required cybersecurity solution we need today, especially in the protection of our critical infrastructure. It may not be as hard as you think, and is immediately available to people who are willing to listen to new approaches from very smart people who just added a little common sense to security.
Larry Karisny is the director of Project Safety.org, a smart-grid security consultant, writer and industry speaker focusing on security solutions for the smart grid and critical infrastructure.
That is a great collection! I'd like to add to your conclusion a bit. I agree that there is a need for some updated security solutions. My focus is in the energy sector where not only are there legacy security solutions meeting increased complex technology environments but legacy systems (old systems) meeting very modern technology at the same time! I think in many cases, there is a need to get back to some security 101 basics and focus attentions to security solutions that provide the best bang for the buck. I'm a firm believer that security log monitoring coupled with appropriately skilled security professionals are the best one-two punch any utility can invest. It will pay dividends - especially if those professionals are engaged in industry-specific (active) information sharing programs. You are spot on with regard to your statement that "it may not be as hard as you think." It has been my experience over the years that often more effort is put in fighting against practical, common sense security measures than it would take to implement and maintain. Some of the things we can do that will take us giant leaps forward in our security protections are not all that difficult to do. It just takes the will to do them.
Does a company get a purple heart if it is attacked in this on going cyber war? :)
Yes, and let us not people the nay-sayers (which includes government officials) that nothing can be done. Where there is a will there is a way. The positive always, in the end, can and will, defeat the negative. Software and hardware architecture designed for security is what is needed.
A DoS attack by its very nature is a statistical anomaly, easily detected by the fact that the number of incoming connections has jumped by over 1000%. I would suggest that this should automatically bring up a program to analyze the source and nature of those messages and reject them until the inut rate drops to normal.
The "it may not be as hard as you think." was kind of tongue and cheek. There is serious smarts behind making this stuff actually work. The common sense part is the horrific architectures in current legacy security designs that for some reason people think will continue to work. Your comments are welcomed.
Well, solving the problems from a technical perspective is not that hard; the solutions are here! What's hard is getting the 'old hands' to let go of their soft, comfortable and familiar standards and protocols. To get certain entities to forgo the extremely bloated money train in favor of security and, in the case of critical infrastructure, SURVIVAL.
Whether congress has declared war or not there are at least two military agencies that have been created to defend and attack back that I know of. One is Air Force the other is Navy. Have we not been at war with terrorists for over a decade??? And some such groups have already declared and attacked US banks on the network with DDos, which unfortunately has been at least partially successful.

After trimming the list of candidate cities for the 2020 Olympics from five to three on Wednesday, the IOC announced it had resolved a long-running dispute with the United States Olympic Committee and finalised a new revenue-sharing agreement.
However, other nagging issues remain as Saudi Arabia continue to resist IOC efforts to have women compete in London while the IOC ethics commission wrestled with a scandal swirling around Pal Schmitt, the former-Hungarian president and IOC member accused of plagiarism.
IOC President Jacques Rogge, under pressure from human rights and sports groups to force Saudi Arabia to have female athletes as part of its London delegation, refused to consider the possibility of sanctions against the Gulf state or allow Saudi women to compete under a neutral flag.
"We are continuing to discuss with them, and their athletes are training and we hope that they will qualify in due time for the Games," Rogge said. "There is absolutely no reason to consider the participation of Saudi women under an IOC flag.
"There is a commitment (to allow women to compete), it is not an easy situation and we are working with them to find a solution."
If the issue remains unresolved, Saudi Arabia would be the only country competing in London without a female representative.
Qatar, Brunei and Saudi Arabia were the only countries to send all male teams to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Both Qatar and Brunei have committed to sending women athletes to London.
Schmitt, a double Olympic gold medal-winning fencer who ran for the IOC presidency in 2001, could face sanctions after he was stripped of his sports doctorate by Budapest's Semmelweis University for copying sections of his thesis without proper acknowledgement.
"We are for some information, correspondence," said Rogge.
"We want a fair procedure with Mr. Schmitt and some documentation was missing before that we could not take a decision.
"It is just a matter of respecting the rights of the defendant."
Rogge spent a good part of this closing news conference fielding questions about the IOC decision on Wednesday to put Madrid, Istanbul and Tokyo through as finalists to stage the 2020 Summer Olympics, dropping Doha and the Azerbaijan capital Baku from the running.
The United States could soon throw its hat into the ring as a possible Games host after agreeing a new revenue-sharing deal with the IOC.
The IOC and USOC ended their long-running and approved a 20-year agreement clearing the path for future U.S. Olympic bids.
The dispute over how to divide billions of dollars in television rights and sponsorships had dragged on for years and left the USOC a virtual outcast within Olympic circles, paralyzing American efforts to stage an Olympic Games.
"We hope this has removed a road block from a successful bid from the United States," said USOC Chairman Larry Probst. "We have a board meeting scheduled for June and I am sure that will be a significant topic of conversation.
"We will discuss our strategy there and probably begin to make some decisions about a potential bid going forward."

Cute Law Facts
Also, the wife of a patrician consul was prosecuted because she had said, "I wish the plebs were all dead." I don't think she had thought things through: first of all, who would she be patrician in relation to if the plebs all died? And, secondly, who would do her manual labor?

A valid question is if in the absence of government there would be a voluntary commitment to the disuse of crop-moving magic. Would this be like interstate nuclear disarmament?ReplyDelete
As to the second point, one can perfectly well wish the plebians dead if you further wish that the crops would be reaped by magic, rather than the much more tedious use of plebian labor. Because of this implication, she was probably duly prosecuted for inciting the use of crop moving magic.

Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars arrived and Installed! WOW!!!
After snapping the ARB brackets twice I decided to go a step ahead and get a complete ARB set (Front + Rear). Also, the addition of the S/C made me drive more spirited than usual hense the requirement for better road stability, and reduced body roll. After a lot of research, I ended getting the Hotchkis Sport Sway Bar Kit, with rear endlinks and adjustable stiffness. Initial impression is WOW. Very well packed from factory, power coated bars, grease, manual, parts list to make sure you don't miss anything, adapter plates etc.
From the manufacturer:
H Sport has significantly increased the handling performance of the E46 with the addition of our Tubular Sway Bar Set. Bar diameters are 30mm front and 25mm rear. Both are adjustable for fine tuning with the front being 3 position and the rear 2 position. H Sport utilizes special adaptor plates for the rear bushing brackets which allow the use of a standard bushing brackets instead of having to struggle with the oe 'tabbed' brackets. This benefit allows for a zerk fitting and additional strength over the rear subframe. Perfect for street or track days, the set comes complete with front and rear black powdercoated bars,rear end links, polyurethane bushings, bushing brackets and zerk fittings for easy occasional lube.
Front 30.2mm (1 3/16") Hollow
3 Way Adjustable
Stiffness over stock 04 330ci Sport
Rear 25.4mm (1") Hollow
2 way Adjustable
Stiffness over stock 04 330ci Sport
Bar Rates lbs/in (Not Wheel Rate)
470 lbs/in.
540 lbs/in.
630 lbs/in.
475 lbs/in.
540 lbs/in.
I kept this picture to make a comparison of what is advertised and what is actually delivered. No difference at all!
And here is what the UPS delivered: :wink:
Very good packing!! Nothing moved!
mmmm Thick bars!
Manual and parts list
Front bar, 3-way adjustable
Don't like stickers but where this is going, nobody will see it.
Rear Bar - 2 Way adjustable
I was planning to do the install over the weekend but I managed to squeeze 3 hours of "lunch break" to do the install today

Tablets, tablets, and more tablets. We just can't escape the hand held touchscreen devices at the moment and with CES just around the corner a dark horse has emerged from the pack with a what could be a trio of interesting devices.
Motorola and RIM are shaping up to seriously challenge Apple for dominance in the tablet PC market, but if reports from America can be believed, Palm (and its new owner HP) can join that list. Reports suggest that HP will unveil a trio of webOS-powered tablets in Vegas, with another to come later in 2011. FoxNews.com says a "trusted source" fed them spec sheets for the new devices and if they can be believed, could see a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for both Palm and HP – who unveiled the doomed Slate at last year's CES.
HP bought the struggling Palm last April for $1.2 billion saying the power of webOS would allow it "to participate more aggressively in the fast-growing, highly profitable smartphone and connected mobile device markets." And that prediction seems to be coming true.
The new devices, to be branded as PalmPads, will see the specs of the Slate tweaked in detail for each of the three tablets. All three will run a new iteration of the WebOS operating system, version 2.5.1. The fourth version of the PalmPad won't be shown off at CES, but is rumoured to be custom-made for university students to prove how versatile the machines can be. The devices will also have dual cameras (1.3 and 3-megapixel) with LED flashes.
After that, not much hardware specs are known. Screen size, processor power or storage capacity are unknown – as is price point and release dates. All these details will no doubt be slowly trickling out in the coming weeks prior to HP's launch of the tablets at CES in January. Anyone wondering why HP are diving head first into the tablet market need only look at the predictions for tablet sales of 20 million in 2010 and up to 50 million the next year.

Date of Stay: September, 2013
We stayed 3 days in Sept to see the colors changing. Our pull through site was long and level, the WiFi and TV were acceptable, the owners were friendly and helpful and the campground was clean and well cared for. We will stay again when we are in the area.
Date of Stay: September, 2013
A nice park. We had a little trouble getting level, but everything else was acceptable. Pretty much your standard Colorado state park.
Date of Stay: March, 2013
We stayed several days while on business in Pueblo. This is the cleanest, nicest, most well run park around Pueblo. We will stay again.
Date of Stay: February, 2012
We stayed here in February. It was still pretty cold, so they weren't very busy. The sites were plenty big for our 40' 5th wheel and everything worked well.


text: I hope your Memorial Day was a little sunnier than ours. We did get lucky in the end, though. After hours of on again and off again sunshine, the rain clouds blew through around 4:00 pm and we ended up with a perfect window of sunshine for the annual potluck at our neighborhood pool. Also on again and off again most of the afternoon I cooked for the potluck (sesame noodles, banana bread, pasta salad) and listened to many remarkable stories on NPR about soldiers from days long ago, and recent days, too. Stories like this one, and this one. I thought it was fitting, then, that I would tell two Memorial Day stories here myself--two stories about two students. I don't know how either one of them ends, but they have stayed with me for some time now. I'll pass them along to you now, so you can imagine endings of your own, and hope for happy ones along with me. *********** Setting: My office on a warm Friday afternoon in March, three years ago. The rain from the other night has blown away the clouds and all the leaves are accented in delicately drawn lines of light. It's a perfect day—the kind of day that makes you want to slip on shorts and anticipate the long, warm days of summer. Student R. is seated in front of me. He's tall, with glasses and has several tattoos on his forearms and upper arms. He's polite, well-spoken—an earnest and sensitive young man. He feels strongly about religion and his mother, calling her the "strongest woman I know" and his face softens when he speaks of her. I mention the fact that he has missed many classes and he apologizes. He's in the ROTC program and I often see him in fatigues with his name sewn onto the front of his uniform. "I'm trying to make all my classes," he tells me. But, and he takes a deep, tired breath, "they're deploying me in April." There's an awkward silence as I try and digest the news. The sight of his backpack, filled with pens poking here and there out of the pockets makes me suddenly sad--sad and angry, too. I study his face, looking for his feelings. "I'm so sorry to hear this," I tell him. Then I worry: sorry? Was this the right thing to say? Should I clap him on the back instead, give him some brave words? "I know, I know," he says. "I really want to finish school. I'm constantly out of classes for one thing or another—physicals, signing insurance papers, health forms. I keep telling them I need to get to class but they keep telling me this is more important." "What will you do about college?" I ask him. "They tell me I can finish when I get back." I want to say, who are they to tell you this? But I bite my tongue. After we talk for a few minutes I watch him leave, backpack slung over his shoulder, books under one arm; a student like all the others, yet suddenly so different, too. He turns the corner and vanishes--through the door, and out into the March sunshine. ********** Setting: Classroom, cool fall morning, two years ago. Student D. is of average build, broad shouldered, dark skinned, with hair so closely shaved you can see the creases in his skull. When he wears his military khakis he is the picture of order, pants tucked perfectly into his black laced-up boots, every inch of him washed and pressed and buttoned, not a stitch out of place. He wears two oblong disks around his neck--dog tags, of course. On one is etched his mother's name, on the other his military identification numbers. His mother passed away seven years ago from cancer, but he wears her name close to his chest. When he runs during training days, boots thudding into the dry ground, he feels the dog tags thump against his chest, like twin heartbeats, reminding him of what he has to live for, to do, to achieve, all in her name. He is, like so many others, serving his country so he may serve himself; so he may one day walk across a stage and receive his diploma, and keep on walking, into his future, lying before him so glorious and filled with possibilities. Everything he does, he does for his mother. He misses seeing her face every day, and hearing her call his name; when she first passed away he couldn't imagine not having her in the world. He is respectful, and motivated, and determined. He will set his jaw and head off and fight in a war he says he doesn't really understand. He talks of his mother watching him, and feeling proud. I think: please keep him safe, bring him back home again.

My shar pei always puts his butt towards me instead of his face when he wants me to pet him. What does this mean?
He will greet me at the door tail wagging and still put his butt towards me and turn his head to face me. Is this protective-ness or is he saying "kiss my wrinkly butt"?

Bruno is being both polite as well as submissive when he greets you this way.
He first meets you at the door to check you out and welcome you home, and then he presents himself in a non-threatening and submissive posture by presenting his side and back for you to pet. He doesn't jump on you, knock you down, scratch you, or hassle you for attention. Instead, he's using a very nice way of interacting and asking for petting from his leader.
My German Shepherd is a therapy dog and when we visit people, she will present her side or back to be petted.
Many people make the mistake of reaching down over a dog, and patting them on the head. With your own dog, that is fine if your dog doesn't mind this type of interaction, but you should never do this with a dog you don't know. Leaning over the top of them or patting their heads can be taken as an aggressive, dominant position.

Maybe he just really loves butt rubs :o)
I have noticed that when one of my dogs is trying to get the others to play, he will go around and give his butt to them. It gets them very playful. My Chihuahua will walk right in front of my Eskie, go just past him and then back his butt up. Once he does that, then it is chase from there. Caine my Shar Pei mix will do this to the other dogs as well. With his head turned back looking at them he backs right up to them, butt in face and then bolts. However, they do not do this to us.
Sign of playfulness or needs a good butt rub?
Member 525960 answered on 11/13/07. Helpful? / 1
He probably wants his back rubbed.
To get even more detailed, he may also dislike being touched on the head - Most dogs don't care for it, but some REALLY hate it. He may have learned that if he offers his back end he can avoid head pats better.
Assuming he has no history of biting, try to pat him on the head and pay close attention to how he reacts. My guess is he'll cringe slightly or move away, and offer some sort of "I'm stressed" signal like lip licking or a yawn.

Mysty's Mom. I'm wondering what you do while you are sewing? :-)
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Mysty's Mom. I'm wondering what you do while you are sewing? :-)
I had the same question. I have laminated wood in the dining room where I use the table for pinning fashion patterns, spilled a new box of pins with tiny glass heads, I had to use a magnet to get them out of the seams between the boards! Then I used June Tailor spray basting in there too. The laminate flooring mfg. give specific instructions to not use cleaners that could damage the gloss finish! What a pain that was! Now I spray outside and will put formica type flooring into my sewing room. I will read the mfg. cleaning instructions first though, I use a lot of spray starch too.
Carpet tends to hold onto loose threads, laminate is easier to clean, but if you drop shears or snips they tend to puncture the laminate. The cork flooring is very comfortable and shows none of these traits and it is not expensive
I have had both in my sewing room, the laminate or vinyl is easy to clean, chairs roll easily on it and pins are easy to see. Carpet, does not show the dust and dirt, pins and threads may get stuck in it and chairs are harder to roll on it. I prefer the hard surfaces over carpet.
I'd do laminate, and, if your sewing room is in a cold part of the house - basement, north side, or on a slab - I would put some radiant heating under the flooring, at least at your primary sewing station. Radiant heat can be installed easily when putting in a new floor. It can be electric or hot water. I'd choose electric so I'd never have to worry about one of the little tubes of water under the floor bursting.
Had carpet where we lived before, and laminate now. Much prefer the laminate, easier to clean, chair rolls easily, can slide furniture around much easier.
If a woman's work is never done....why start?
This house was fully carpeted when we bought. Before I sewed, we replaced all of the carpet with hardwood.
In my sewing room / workshop as well as most rooms, I have a rug down, for warmth, this is a cold place in the winter, and a space heater. In the dining room, where my frame is and I have one or 2 machines set up, there's a woodstove close by. There's still a rug under where my chair goes for the frame or the sewing machine. This protects the floor. Anything the wheels of your chair picks up is now acting like sand paper on your floor. I also now do all starching over the rug, why? The wood floor gets incredibly slippery from the starch over-spray. I almost fell the other day, and would have hit the side of the wood stove on my way down.
So my recommendation is for a hard floor, but a rug on top, in some spaces.
I have porcelain tile because my whole lower level is tiled. If I had my choice between carpet or hard flooring, the hard flooring would always win hands down - easier to clean, no pins in your feet or my furbabie's feet, just a quick broom/dustpan for snippets and you're done! Hope you post photos!!
This house had hardwoods in the room that is now my sewing room. And I LOVE IT!!!!!! So easy to clean and I can roll between my work./cutting table, sewing desk and big board ironing board. SO great.
Physically in Maryland but heart is in Indianapolis.
Rescued Boxers are adoptable love. Please consider a homeless/rescued pet when adding to your family.

Started to get really into running though and want to join a club with the view to maybe finding my best possible event and also to just run I live in south east london in thamesmead an would love someones help or any advice. All would be welcomed!
Ronnie Mewes
Ronnie are you saying you did the marathon with no training what so ever..
Well I play for a local football team who train once a week and play sundays but the standard is pretty low especially fitness wise and i maybe ran a total of ten times prior to the marathon...
