Dogs take a plunge into local pool
BRISTOL, Tenn. - This year's pool season is going to the dogs. The third annual "Doggie Swim" at Haynesfield Pool in Bristol, Tennessee kicked off Tuesday night.
Before the pool closes down for good, a few pups took a plunge in the water.
Some were racing for toys, while others just enjoyed a leisurely swim.
This was Labrador retriever, Shiloh's, second year at the Doggie Swim, but it probably won't be his last. "We'll play fetch. That's his favorite game, and he will do this for literally hours, and we have to make him take breaks unless he get tired, and you can see right now, he's all excited and wants to play," said Shiloh's owner Tom Wooldridge.
Dogs are welcome back in the pool through Saturday, September 8.
From September 5 - 7, the pool is open from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
September 8, the pool is open from Noon to 4:00 p.m.
Admission is $3 per dog, and owners are limited to two dogs per person. There is no admission fee for people.

ATTENTION DIVERS - Es Castell is also a great base for divers as it is just an easy 10 mn drive to S'Algar with it's popular and respected diving center - S'Algar Diving and the nearby underwater caves systems on the south east coast at Cap D'en Font.
Es Castell Overview
Es Castell, previously named Villa Carlos, is full of history and charm. One of the best locations on the island for summer evenings and lunch time meals in the town's side streets or down in the delightful harbour sides. The town's fishing harbour - Cales Fonts and has become a little haven of restaurants and bars (no loud music ) favoured by locals and tourists alike. A truely genuine atmosphere not found in beach tourist locations and which attracts people from these resorts from all over the island. Founded in Georgian times as a military town this influence can be seen in the town's architecture and layout. Es Castell is now the fashionable place for locals to live and this all adds up to make this a great place to visit or stay in.
Es Castell has every concievable thing you need within walking distance in the town and larger supermarkets at Sant Luis and Mahon are just a 10mn drive away.
The two fishing harbours Cales Corb and Cales Fonts define the character of the town providing delightful water side promenades for daytime or evening strolls. With great Bars and Restaurants along the waterside and in the town's little side streets. Good selection of shops, mini supermarkets, banks (inc ATMs), Bars and Restaurants within a few minutes walk. And of course cosmopolitan Mahon is also close by ( 25 minute walk-for us anyway ).
While there is no beach at Es Castell there are delightful places to take a swim with access points into the sea. There are sunbathing platforms at lovely Cala Padera, 5 min walks from Cales Fonts harbour.

All offer a very different experience to any beach resort restaurants for something more special. There are walks and cycling routes in the surrounding attractive countryside.
A village straight out of the picture books, traditional menorcan architecture, with lots of bougainvillea draped over the old white washed houses. Best to leave the car at the entrance roads and just wander respectfully or as part of a cycle tour. Home to highly regarded restaurants for food lovers (Sa Pedrera des Pujol, Sa Parereta d'en Doro, Pan y Vino ). From behind the unmissable watchtower you can wander down to the coast at Cala Torret.

BALTIMORE -- After the Red Sox' 7-1 loss to the Orioles Tuesday night at Camden Yards, David Ortiz suggested that the Yahoo! Sports report regarding the team's July 26 meeting with ownership was on the minds of some players heading into the series opener.
The report stated that a group of players "blasted" manager Bobby Valentine in the meeting, with Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez serving as the most vocal.
According to the designated hitter, the latest controversy was enough to serve as somewhat of a distraction heading into the game.
"Exactly," Ortiz told WEEI.com when asked if the report was on the minds of some players near the start of the game. "That came out this afternoon about that situation and next thing you know you have guys that have to deal with a baseball game thinking about the [expletive]. That's [expletive]."
Ortiz joined a group of players from the Red Sox clubhouse who appeared frustrated by the seemingly never-ending stream of drama involving the team.
"Things are getting to the point where it's not even about us winning or losing games," he said. "It's just, 'Let me get this guy's mind completely out of the game.' It's not what we're looking for."
Another player voicing his frustration was Cody Ross.
"Enough is enough," the outfielder said. "We're professionals and we're here to play and do our jobs and win ballgames. All the outside and extracurricular stuff comes along with it, but we can't lose sight of our goal. It just gets tiring.
"At this point it's like kicking a dog. What else could they say bad about our team that is going to affect us? Probably nothing, because we've been through so much just during this year."

Demon Dirt Leviathan Half Suit
Demon Dirt might well be on to something with their Leviathan Half Suit. Providing "soft" amour to the rider, its main purpose is to protect the spine but as you will find out, there are some other cool features thrown in.
Stand at the base of the Whistler Bike Park during Summer for ten minutes and pay attention to what people are wearing. Riders of all ages, shapes and sizes. When it comes to armour, there's two very distinct groups of riders. The more "old school" riders tend to ride with a hard pressure suit, and full knee and shin pads. The other camp typically wears soft knee pads and maybe a neck brace. While some fashion comes into play, ultimately it comes down to the riders' confidence in their ability and whether or not safety comes before comfort.
Demon Dirt have clearly seen this "new school" mentality and aimed its Leviathan Half Suit at this demographic. Last year I spent most of my leisure time riding in the Bike Park with a set of soft knee pads, gloves and a helmet. While I was comfortable riding with a small amount of protection, from time to time I'd have a stack and consider the possible injuries that may have occurred.
I've tried to wear a hard plastic pressure suit in the past, and essentially it was nothing more than a waste of $150. I wore it half a dozen times and got rid of it because I was more prone to crashing due to being uncomfortable. My decision to ride with the Leviathan Half Suit was based on the fact that I would actually wear protection if it was comfortable, and even if it is less effective in a crash, less effective armour is more beneficial than armour that is sitting in a wardrobe at home.
Lets look at the features of the Demon Dirt Leviathan Half Suit:
- Spine and tail bone coverage, in the form of three pieces of shock absorbing foam.
- Kidney/liver belt
- Lower rib protection, in the form of foam stitched into the suit
- Deep V-neck to reduce choking
- Leatt Brace compatible with foam collar bone pads
The spine and tail bone coverage gives the rider the option of removing foam pieces to provide varying amounts of protection. To be perfectly honest, I only ever intend on riding with all three, as any less seems like a bit of a waste of time. That said, it's always nice to have options.
Given that I plan on wearing a neck brace this year, it's great to see that the suit has been designed with the Leatt Brace in mind. The foam collarbone pads in theory help reduce the common problem of bruised collarbones on those wearing a Leatt Brace. I'm told to make it work with the neck brace the spine protector foam needs to be trimmed away. At first it was disappointing that I would have to do the work, but I recognize that with so many options on the market nowadays, it must be hard for these guys to design a "one size fits all" solution.
The Leviathan Half Suit is certainly built with slimmer riders in mind. I don't consider myself overweight, but I'm certainly not as slim as I could be after my first Canadian Winter. While it fits great elsewhere, it's a tight fit around the waist.
Personally I would have liked to see a small amount of upper rib protection. I'm guessing the theory is that many people have enough muscle in front of the upper ribs that protection isn't a big deal. For those of us who don't, the ribs are a little exposed.
Looks wise it's pretty sweet for armour. It's a bit too fashion conscious for some, but at least you don't look like a Stormtrooper when the weather is too hot to wear a jersey over the top. It's also cut nice and low too so it will hang over your pants or shorts.
Similar to the POW gloves I bought recently I did have to do a little tidy up on some of the cuts of the fabric. Maybe I pay too much attention but the first time I put the suit on I was itching all over. A few minutes with the scissors however and it's super comfortable now.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how well the Demon Dirt Leviathan Half Suit holds up after a crash, let alone after a season of riding. I'll keep you updated with how it goes. Thanks for being patient with my modelling skills, or lack thereof!

In more ways than one, America is a rather schizophrenic country, and in no place is this more evident than in the Christmas season, the one just past being no exception. There are endless comic strips, TV specials, and inspirational books which tell us the "true meaning of Christmas" and bemoan the ceaseless commercialism. At the same time, Christmas decorations begin earlier every year; this year they appeared in our local stores in mid-October.
Lost Moon
President Kennedy's famous proclamation that America would win the space race began a long love affair between America and that short stretch between us and the moon. From the beginning, with the cramped Gemini spacecraft to the modern-day space shuttles, America has always been enchanted with the space program. The excitement peaked in July 1969, when Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon itself. The Apollo program continued on until 1972, sending another five missions to walk on its surface.

WW4 File: Putin reminds USA Russia "big nuclear power," accuses Clinton, US State Dept. of giving "signal" to anti-Kremlin protesters, repeats past charges of Washington funding Russian opposition; Medvedev in Prague to clinch nuke deal, enlist Czechs against NATO missile defense
December 8, 2011Posted by on
As if US-Russian relations were not strained enough over NATO's incipient anti-missile system in Europe, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's remarks concerning Russia's "flawed" parliamentary election this past Sunday have only added fuel to the fire.
Today, following talks in Brussels between NATO foreign ministers and Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, the alliance's secretary-general, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, reported "no progress" toward a deal on the rancorous issue. "We listen, and we have listened today," Fogh Rasmussen told journalists after meeting Lavrov at NATO headquarters. Lavrov, who speaks perfect English, resorted to clipped Russian immediately after Rasmussen's comments. "Unfortunately our partners are not yet ready for cooperation on missile defense," Lavrov huffed, but he left the door open for more talks, "provided that legitimate concerns of all parties are taken into consideration."
"No ally within NATO is going to give any other country outside the alliance a veto over whether NATO protects itself by building a missile defense system against threats we perceive are the most salient," Clinton said tersely at the time. "It's not directed at Russia, it's not about Russia, it's frankly about Iran," she said, adding it was "certainly not a cause for military countermeasures" by Russia.
The talks in Brussels came as Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin accused Clinton on Thursday of encouraging and supporting the election protesters and warned of a wider Russian crackdown on unrest. By describing Russia's parliamentary election as rigged in favour of Putin's potemkin party, United Russia, the KGB-communist dictator alleged Clinton "gave a signal" to his opponents. "They heard this signal and with the support of the U.S. State Department began their active work," Putin said in televised remarks.
"I looked at the first reaction of our U.S. colleagues," Putin said during a meeting with representatives of his All-Russia People's Front movement in Moscow. "The [U.S.] secretary of state was quick to evaluate the elections, saying that they are unfair and unjust, even before she received materials from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (OSCE/ODIHR) observers."
"What is there to say? We are a big nuclear power and remain so," Putin growled. "This raises certain concerns with our partners. They try to shake us up so that we don't forget who is boss on our planet [meaning the USA]."
Russian protesters have taken to the streets in Moscow and St. Petersburg for three straight nights despite heavy presence of city police and Interior Ministry Troops, outraged over observers' reports of widespread ballot box stuffing and manipulations of the vote count.
Police have detained more than 1,000 people in both cities, many of them briefly, in a crackdown since Sunday, but opposition groups are planning new protests on Saturday, including one close to the Kremlin in the capital.
When asked about Putin's comments, Clinton said Washington valued amicable relations with Moscow, which currently facilitates NATO's military supply route across Russia to Afghanistan. "At same time the U.S. and many others around the world have strong commitments to democracy and human rights," she said. "We expressed concerns we thought were well founded about the conduct of the elections."
Last month, President Dmitry Medvedev, threatened to deploy missiles to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and Krasnodar region, to be aimed at US and NATO missile defense sites, unless a deal is reached assuaging Russian concerns.
Tainted Past: Czech President Vaclav Klaus Accused of Being a Communist-Era Secret Police Informer, Current Russian SVR Asset
Meanwhile, on December 7, as Russians brave bans to protest in the streets, Soviet Komsomol graduate Medvedev arrived in Prague to hold talks with Czech President Vaclav Klaus (pictured above) and Prime Minister Petr Necas. Over his two-day working trip in the "ex"-Soviet Bloc state, Medvedev will back a bid from Russia's Atomstroyexport company for a US$28 billion contract to build two reactors at the Czech Republic's Temelin nuclear power plant.
Russian officials have said Medvedev also wants to discuss NATO's missile defense plan, which under the George W. Bush administration entailed the placement of anti-missile batteries and a radar installation in the Czech Republic. Modified by President Barack Hussein Obama, the missile defense system now includes batteries in Poland and Romania.
Medvedev's Czech hosts have questionable links to the old communist regime in Prague. Although Necas, like Medvedev, was in his mid-20s when the Soviet Bloc unravelled, the Czech Republic's Civic Democratic PM served in the Czechoslovak People's Army in 1988 and 1989, the last two years before the so-called Velvet Revolution "ended" communism in that country. Klaus' alleged role as an informant for Communist Czechoslovakia's secret police places him in a comprised political and legal situation, similar to that faced by Poland's Lech Walesa, who apparently spied for that country's communist security service.
According to a fascinating 2008 article by Robert Eringer, which we cite here at length, Klaus, "while a 21-year-old student at the University of Economics, Prague, in 1962, was recruited by Czech counterintelligence [StB] officers and put to work as a spy against democratic reformers with whom he studied and later worked." Incidentally, Eringer is a former FBI counterintelligence agent who later worked for Prince Albert II of Monaco.
Codenamed "Vodichka," Klaus is said to have been "an avid and willing informant" who reported on the political reliability of his classmates. For his cooperation, he was awarded the rare privilege of travelling abroad on research projects, first to Italy in 1966 and, three years later, to Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. While studying at Cornell, Klaus reported to Czech intelligence officers on the activities of Czech exiles in the USA.
In 1970, Mr. Klaus participated in Operation Rattrap, staged by the StB with the assistance of Soviet KGB advisers. In this ruse, Klaus was publicly named as an "anti-socialist malcontent" and "purged" from the University of Economics, enabling him to pose as a "victim" of the regime so he could continue to penetrate dissident circles. With this new cover, he established a personal relationship with Charter '77 leader Vaclav Havel, who would become the Czech Republic's first democratically elected president in 1993.
In 1987, Klaus was officially "rehabilitated" by the Communist Party, allowing him to join the Economic Forecasting Institute of the Academy of Sciences. Successfully planted within its ranks, he informed on the activities of other academics while further cultivating his reputation as a subversive. Between 1971 and 1986, however, Klaus had pursued a career at the Czechoslovak State Bank, an unlikely position for real dissidents against the communist regime.
In 1989, he entered politics as a member of the Civic Forum and was appointed finance minister. Three years later, he became prime minister. Klaus pushed the Civic Forum to the right and the so-called "Klaus wing" of the party became the nucleus of the currently ruling Civic Democratic Party. In 1997, Klaus resigned as prime minister due to complicity in a political funding and corruption scandal stemming from a secret Swiss bank account in his name.
Just over a year later, Klaus began a series of secret meetings with the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service's resident (station chief) in Prague. An SVR officer told Eringer, "We opened an operational file on Klaus under the codename 'Kolesnikov,' and did not rule out the possibility of a recruitment attempt [on the basis of possessing his file and being privy to his darkest secret]."
"It is unclear," concludes Eringer, "whether Mr. Klaus's political career was resurrected with SVR assistance, but crystal clear that Mr. Klaus has since established an unusually close relationship with Russian supremo Vladimir Putin, who one year ago this month [2007] rewarded Mr. Klaus — a fluent Russian speaker — with the Pushkin Medal, ostensibly for promoting Russian culture."
Putin paid a rare state visit to the Czech Republic only after Klaus succeeded Havel as president in 2003. While hosting Putin, then president of the Russian Federation, Klaus' meek behavior was described by Czech journalists as "borderline sycophancy." Since then, Klaus' support for the Putin regime has been "strong and unwavering."
It is a well documented fact that the Russian SVR is very active in the Czech Republic and probably has connections with the (formerly ruling) Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSCM). In spite of warnings from the Security Information Service (BIS), President Klaus has done next to nothing to thwart Moscow's influence in Prague. In terms of parliamentary representation, the KSCM is the fourth largest party in the Czech Republic.

A Christchurch teenager who helps to build his own car carved a special niche in New Zealand motorsport history yesterday at Pukekohe.
Back at the track that Greg Murphy ruled for so long, 19-year-old Scott McLaughlin became the youngest winner of a V8 Supercars race when he took the chequered flag in the first 100km race.
Series leader Jamie Whincup took the second race at the ITM 400 but the day was all about McLaughlin.
With the event returning to the South Auckland track after a six-year hiatus, it felt like nothing had changed as the crowd stood to a man to cheer home a local favourite in a red Holden.
"[The reaction of the crowd] sent goosebumps through my body - I will never forget it," McLaughlin told the Herald on Sunday. "You see people clapping, yelling and fist pumping and you think, how the hell am I going to concentrate? I felt like I had the whole of New Zealand on my shoulders."
While the race wasn't as tense as Shane van Gisbergen's victory in the Hamilton rain two years ago, there was still plenty of drama.
After Whincup punctured on the first corner, Mark Winterbottom confidently held the lead until the 12th lap (of 35) before he too experienced tyre problems. It gave the New Zealander, who had started from fourth place on the grid, the chance to grab the lead.
"There was a lot of debris [from Winterbottom's car] so I had to find my way through," said McLaughlin. "When I got through, I thought, holy crap, I'm actually leading the race. The last five laps I was pretty nervous and our tyres weren't that great. I almost forgot to shift gears as I crossed the line because I was fist pumping, I was so happy."
The previous youngest winner was Rick Kelly, who won Bathurst as a 20-year-old alongside Murphy in 2003.
McLaughlin has always been a prodigy. He raced in the Dunlop Series (the Supercars development category) as a 16-year-old in 2010, finished fourth in that series in 2011 and took the title last year. He made his Supercars debut at Sandown last year and also got on the grid at Bathurst and Sydney.
"This is massive for my career," said McLaughlin, "It shows I can mix it with these guys. It has come quite quickly - to be honest, I didn't think I would get a [podium] finish at all this year."
For one so young, McLaughlin takes a level-headed approach to his career, perhaps because he spends his days working in the team garage as an apprentice fabricator.
"We might give him the day off after a race," laughs team manager Dean Cowling, "but otherwise he is here every day from 7.30am to 4pm. He is just another one of the guys. He is involved in building his own car, welding, fitting panels. There is no swanning around and the head fabricator back at the workshop rides him pretty hard."
"Just in case this whole thing fails - hopefully it doesn't - I've got something to roll back on," explains McLaughlin, who is in the fourth year of his apprenticeship. "I tend to break stuff and because I'm the driver I get a bit of shit but it doesn't matter."
Fabian Coulthard had a day to forget. He lost pole position for the first race after officials - somewhat dubiously - declared he had hopped the kerb during the top 10 shoot-out, then, after gaining the top spot for the second race, jumped the start, incurring a 10-second penalty and ending any chance of a Kiwi quinella.
"The clutch started to grab," Coulthard said. "I didn't do anything different. The procedure is still the same but it didn't play the game. It forced me forward and I couldn't fight it so I just had to deal with the consequences, really.
"I don't think I have jumped a start any time in my career, so it doesn't feel great. It wasn't nerves - I was on pole in Melbourne and won three races there but obviously there was a systems error somewhere along the line."
Jason Bright and Craig Lowndes grabbed the minor placings in race one, while Will Davison and Garth Tander followed Whincup home in race two. Shane van Gisbergen finished fourth and sixth for a consistent day, while Coulthard recorded placings of fifth and 10th. McLaughlin was 24th in the second race and compatriot Jonny Reid finished towards the back of the pack in both races.
There are two more 100km races today before the new Jason Richards memorial trophy will be awarded to the round winner.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo 12
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa, Sorata. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Nice manning up! (≧∇≦)b
≧∇≦ブハハハハハ I knew it! Gotta love dat deadpan Mashiro!
And the real culprit sure is enjoying the scene!
Oh you, little….! Also, dat policeman!
Of course, Rita doesn't miss the chance for a successful ambush herself. She's an Englishwoman after all!
Well, looks like it was effective though!
I have to admit I greatly enjoyed this episode's Nyaboron parts. While it was pretty cheesy stuff, but it was also super effective too. Mashiro lighting up the "shout your love" part was a pretty nice touch as well.
Jin and Misaki-senpai's relationship seems to have advanced a little bit forward finally too, thanks to that "confession" time, as he finally presented the birthday gift he bought, albeit quite late than planned. Still, it's a step forward no matter how small! Funny how Jin is using his courage in all the wrong places thus far.
There was an out of the left field confession too to Aoyama (man, this episode had a lot of confessions!), but poor guy sure got shot down quickly. Still… Nanami better step up her game, but I guess at this stage she's already lost it.
Finally, Rita and Ryuunosuke remains to be the cutest couple so far, mainly because of Ryuunosuke's hard-headedness being slowly chipped away by Rita's proactive attacks. Really, it's rather weird rooting for an Ayako x Hocchan pairing, but hey why the hell not lol.
Looking forward to see what happens next in the story, this would've been a pretty decent closing for the show, but it looks like Sakurasou still has more to give. Let's just hope it doesn't waste the high note it has achieved so far.

The New York Daily News has reported that New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow has prepared this week for a "larger role/more reps" against the Houston Texans. On Sunday, FOX's NFL insider Jay Glazer also reported similar news that Tebow would be used 'a lot more'. The Jets currently rank 25th in the NFL with 86.5 rushing yards per game. A team typically known for their physical ground attack has been rendered insufficient on offense due to their inability to consistently move the chains and set up the pass via the run.
Fantasy Analysis:
Football fans can blame a weak offensive line and flaccid Shonn Greene for Tebow's increased role. The Jets need to do something to keep defenses off-balance and using Tebow only makes sense here. The read option will create running lanes and any defensive over-commitment to run can easily be punished with a well-timed deep ball. Now that Santonio Holmes is on injured reserve, it's time to really open things.

Whine noise here too. Manufacturer part no: 43147RU.
This comes with SSD. The whine noise is reduced or goes away when the CPU workload increases (say starting from around 29% according to the CPU meter).
Did a small test to verify this by writing a simple C program with an infinite while loop and an arithmetic operation inside the loop. The whine was greatly reduced. The fan did kick in, though.
A while loop without the arithmetic operation seemed to provide this balance between the fan noise (quieter fan noise) and a loud whine (noise was reduced).
The loop was something like:
float a = 22.7;
while(1==1) {
a = a * 3 / 2;
Update: tried booting into safe mode with networking and indeed the whine noise doesn't seem to come up. Stayed in this mode for a couple of minutes. The fan was relatively loud and constantly working. Not sure if the fan being continuiously on has anything to do with that specific test.
We seem to be among the "guinea pigs" for laptops with intel i3,i5,i7 processors. Apparently vendors, or at least some of them, can't seem to get the laptops to operate quietly with such processors. Anyway, I'm hoping that this is a software issue that can be resolved soon, or at least get some idea of what it might be related to.

Same high noise here, on my T510 i5 540M. But not if I boot in safe mode, with or without networking support.
Has anyone else noticed ? I've upgraded every driver to the latest versions available through Lenovo, but nothing changes, in Normal mode.
Any news from Lenovo?
Machine Type Model: 4384WC5

All of a sudden, the ThinkPad T510 on lenovo.com says it "Ships in more than 4 weeks." Does this suggest that Lenovo has resolved the whine problem, or is it just a website glitch?
Wanted to chime in with the identical problem.
T510, 4313CTO, i5 540, HDD.
Like others, the whine is reduced with AC power, but still exists. I have access to acoustic testing equipment so I may test for frequency and loudness on the unit.
Hopefully lenovo can release a BIOS upgrade with Intel's cooperation about this CPU noise.
My solution: return of T510.

All the T410/T410s models are showing over 4 week ship dates also.
Must be a reason.
They had a 25% off sale during this weekend. Probably they got too many orders.
T510 with 540M processor here too. No noise....

Napalm, When did you purchase your laptop, when did you receive it, and what's the manufacturer part no.?
Took delivery of my T510 two weeks ago with the i7 620 chip. I have the whine, but it is not too bad yet. Thank heavens for ambient background noise - I think if I was in a very quiet room it would really start to bother me.

Should Companies Be Required to Meet Certain Minimum Cybersecurity Protections?
U.S. companies appear to have lots of not-so-secret secrets.

Intelligence reports, for instance, say China and Russia have been pilfering vast quantities of secrets from U.S. companies, while U.S. officials say Iranian-backed hackers have mounted a relentless campaign against U.S. banks.
President Barack Obama in February signed an executive order to establish programs for voluntary computer-security standards and data sharing between the government and U.S. companies about cyberthreats. On Capitol Hill, Congress remains tied in knots on cybersecurity, with Democrats and Republicans sharply divided over whether the government should play a significant role in protecting U.S. computer networks.
We asked a panel of cybersecurity specialists to tackle the question: Should companies be required to meet certain minimum cybersecurity protections?
Christopher Finan, a former White House cybersecurity aide; Liz Gasster, vice president at the Business Roundtable; and Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union, debated the question.
Here are edited excerpts of their conversation.
Why Have Standards?
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL: Chris, what is the rationale for establishing cybersecurity standards, such as regularly updating security software?
MR. FINAN: The rationale is simple: to protect the nation from attack. Private-sector companies operate most of the nation's critical infrastructure, and many aren't investing enough in computer security protections. A determined adversary could harm Americans by attacking and disrupting the critical computer control systems like those that supply power and clean water to our communities.
The administration has done all it can under current law to address these risks, so until Congress acts, the government basically has to ask companies nicely to take basic steps to protect Americans. So far a lot of corporate operators have simply refused to act, accepting the risks that we all then are forced to share. Our adversaries know this is a strategic weakness, and you can bet they will take advantage of it the next time we're in a tense situation overseas.
MS. GASSTER: I wholeheartedly agree that better cybersecurity protection is essential, but I respectfully disagree that companies have refused to act. With so much at stake, companies are fully motivated to protect against cybersecurity threats and do so every day. What the private sector needs is access to information about potential threats that only government can provide.
WSJ: Do you see any role for the government in sharing cyberthreat data, and what do you think of the recently passed House bill that establishes a data-sharing program?
MS. RICHARDSON: Many government and private-sector programs have no effect on privacy or civil liberties, and we encourage the administration, Congress and companies to focus on those. Things like creating basic standards, securing the supply chain, creating a cyber-knowledgeable workforce and educating the public on computer hygiene [updating security software] are all part of the solution.
To hear Congress talk about it, the end-all be-all of cybersecurity is revoking current privacy laws so that companies can share sensitive information with each other and the government. The effect on privacy comes down to what information will be shared, with whom, and what can be done with it after it's shared. It's disappointing that the House is pushing an incredibly broad bill that allows all sorts of personal information to be shared in a completely unaccountable fashion, even with military agencies like the National Security Agency.
WSJ: Are standards necessary to prevent a weakest-link phenomenon?
MS. GASSTER: We believe government should establish a framework—both technical and legal—for government to share cybersecurity-threat information with industry. Once frameworks are in place, government and industry should work together toward developing threat-informed risk-management capabilities that can keep pace with cybersecurity threats. When considering the role of standards and best practices, policy makers should contemplate the ever-evolving characteristics of cybersecurity threats and work toward structures that are voluntary, agile and flexible. We believe the executive-order process will provide an opportunity for lessons learned in the standards area, and therefore recommend that Congress consider the results of implementation before acting on standards.
MR. FINAN: I agree with Liz Gasster's point about threat-informed risk-management capabilities, and actually that's exactly the type of critical-infrastructure protection framework I believe Congress should enact right away to begin to build on the work of the executive order.
Many companies are effectively mitigating cyber risks, particularly in the financial sector; however, all are not. One of the difficulties of cybersecurity is that many systems are connected and rely on each other. Vulnerabilities left unaddressed are cyber risks shared by all in this system.
The critical-infrastructure companies that already have effective risk-management frameworks in place should not have to do more. It would be irresponsible, though, for Congress to simply wait and hope for the cyberholes in the nation's critical infrastructure to be plugged. Hope is not an acceptable risk-management strategy when American lives are on the line.
Protection of Personal Data
WSJ: What responsibilities do companies, particularly those running critical infrastructure, have to protect their computer systems from being harmed by a state-based attacker? And what responsibilities do companies have to protect personally identifying information when sharing data with the government?
MR. FINAN: Strong cybersecurity practices just make good business sense at a time when intellectual property and trade secrets are increasingly being targeted for theft. Moreover, officers of publicly held companies have an obligation to their shareholders to disclose material information regarding cybersecurity risks and incidents. Operators of critical infrastructure systems that people rely on for life-sustaining services have the added responsibility of ensuring their systems are at least protected with industry-consensus best practices. Select nation-states as well as nonstate actors with the intent to harm Americans are becoming capable of doing so by using widely available cyberattack tools to disrupt poorly protected systems.
MS. RICHARDSON: Whether companies should be responsible for removing personally identifiable information before sharing cyberthreat information is shaping up to be one of the biggest fights in the legislative realm. Putting the onus on companies to do this is one of the most important privacy protections that need to be included in any legislation. We've endorsed a proposal that would require that companies make a reasonable effort to remove it before sharing less-sensitive data.
Representatives from the financial and energy sector testified that companies are capable of protecting personal information and that it is rarely going to even be necessary to address a cyberthreat. Ultimately, the personal information contained in Internet records is some of the most sensitive out there. It can reflect the political organizations we belong to, what we read, where we go, what we worship and study—and absolutely needs to be protected. It should never be at the whims of the companies who hold this information whether to share it or not.

It's been a month since I have had this depressed linear scar on my upper lip. At first it was from an acne scar, but then I had picked at the premature scab, and now I am left with the scar. What type of scar revision would be necessary to help its appearance? Also, should I wait for the scar to mature before undergoing any procedures?
What Scar Revision Option is Best for Depressed Linear Scarring on Upper Lip?
Doctor Answers 2
Fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment
This slightly depressed and red scar can be improved with laser resurfacing. In my office, I would recommend the fractional co2 laser.

Gov. Pat Quinn has approved a plan that allows the Illinois DOT to turn old roofing shingles into asphalt and use the recycled material to pave roads.
"This law will benefit the environment and save the state millions of dollars by expanding our use of recycled materials," says Quinn.
In addition to allowing the agency to use asphalt made from recycled roofing shingles, the three-part legislation requires mix designs to allow for the use of recycled shingles in specified quantities and allows recycling facilities to count each ton of asphalt they recycle as 2 tons toward their U.S. EPA-mandated recycling quota. The incentive won't cost the state anything and could help create construction-related jobs.

Wedding Cake Tips (cont.)
By Roxanne Webber
Tiered/Stacked: Layers stacked on top of one another in diminishing sizes to create a classic-looking wedding cake.
Spaced/Raised Tiers: A tiered cake with space between each layer. Usually utilizes a plate-and-pillar stand.
Floating Tiers: A tiered cake that uses a special stand to separate the tiers without pillars.
Rolled Fondant: A thick and pliable sugar paste (like an edible Play-Doh). It's what gives cakes a supersmooth matte finish and a slightly rounded appearance, and is what you'll see on most "magazine" wedding cakes. It can be tinted with intense colors, and stands up well in hot outdoor settings. Fondant is often used to make drapes and other decorations. It's not known for being tasty, however.
Marzipan: A paste made out of almonds and sugar. Strongly flavored, it can be colored, rolled thinly, and used to cover a cake. It can also be molded into fruit or other shapes.
French Buttercream: A rich, light-bodied frosting made by beating boiling sugar syrup with egg yolks, then whipping in butter.
Italian Buttercream: A very light, fluffy frosting made by whipping butter into an Italian meringue (egg whites whipped with hot sugar syrup).
Ganache: Similar to what you'd find in a truffle, this is a somewhat soft filling made from a mix of chocolate and cream. Sometimes it's also poured over a cake while still warm to form a glaze.
Mousse: A light, airy filling made with whipped cream folded into fruit, chocolate, or other flavorings. It's usually stabilized with gelatin.
Bavarian: Not as fluffy as a mousse, this consists of a custard base (usually flavored with fruit) folded into whipped cream, and also stabilized with gelatin.
Pastry Cream: A custard thickened with flour or other starches. It's what classically fills éclairs and cream puffs, and is almost always flavored with vanilla, chocolate, or coffee.
Gumpaste and Pastillage: Sugar pastes used to form flowers and other edible decorations that dry very hard.
Pulled Sugar: A method for making glassy-looking decorations out of sugar. On wedding cakes it's often used to create ribbons. It's made by melting sugar and pulling and folding it before it cools.
Swiss Dots: Decorative dots of icing piped onto a cake
Basket Weave: A piping technique that gives the appearance of woven frosting, like a basket.
Génoise: A lightly textured yet rich cake made with eggs and butter.
Sponge Cake: A very light cake that contains no butter and is leavened only by beaten egg whites.
Butter Cake: A lighter relative of the pound cake; richer and denser than génoise or sponge.

Re: skull-osis (name pending)
oops, I missed that post somehow. I was talking about the real skinny one posted further back. I liked that one better, it's more dragster-ish, but that's just my $.02
Re: skull-osis (name pending)
duely noted. i came to the same conclusion myself. looks like i'll be relacing the rear rim on a steel hoop if i can find the time.
the old raleigh 20x1 3/8" just suits the build so much better.
Re: skull-osis (name pending)
keep the tall skinny up front the other problem with the other is it locks you into only a few 18 inch tires. i like the skinny wheel much better and it probably adds some ground clearance. oh and i have faith in you
Re: skull-osis (name pending)
well i would have some new pic's for ya, but photobucket isn't cooperating. somebody went and removed my upload button. :roll:
anyway, the wheelie bars are all welded up. built a quick jig and had my budy weld em for me. (he's got a sweet miller tig welder, i don't)
he owed me a favor and i'm real short for time. got to get as much finished as possible before i go away up north.

Re: skull-osis (name pending)
i agree a butterfly wheel would be really cool. oh and i think those wheelie bars are a bit high to keep the front end down but it will be a wheel stander for sure. a shute would be very cool as well
Re: skull-o sis (name pending)
You forgot the "y".........Skully-o-sis. :wink:
Re: skull-o sis (name pending)
then it wouldn't mean "my sisters skull" :lol:
i don't have a sister, and i wont confirm or deny having one in the past. :lol:
how uncomfortable would this be?
which brings me to my next task.
plenty of room back there for a shoot.
as for the butterfly wheel. i would love to mount one.
here's my concern's/issue, maybe you guys can help.
i don't want the wheel to come straight out the top of the seat tube. if i'm gonna use one, its gotta be mounted/positioned like it would be in a dragster. (towards the driver)
trying to figure out a low cost method to do so, thats gonna look good, leave room for my knees, be comfortable and have a serious grip on the crazy steering. i also need the leverage to pull wheelies and be able to learn forward to put the bike back on the ground. pretty much gotta build it with the front end at zero bouyancy (for lack of a better term)
i'd be the balance point (right over the rear axle)

you could weld on a steering column. :lol:
Re: skull-o sis (name pending)
recent developments.
picked up a red led and switch. its 12volt for automotive use, but i'm just running it from a 9volt battery.
seat frames finished. the plan is to make a quilted black leather seat(with red stitching/tufting) .
gonna use an old leather jacket (goodwill) and see if i can't build it from scratch.
using another of the alum skulls a friend poured for me at work (dollar store skull used to make the mold)
with the new seat comes new inspiration. i think i'm gonna dedicate this on to the mistress of the night.
that diva of death, elvira herself.
not sure of the name yet, but it will reflect the new theme.
