text: SAN MATEO, Calif., May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- RedSeal Systems, Inc., the market's leading provider of security posture management solutions, today announced that it has added support for Fortinet Inc.'s flagship FortiGate® consolidated security appliance family to its RedSeal Network Advisor and Vulnerability Advisor software. The added integration with the Fortinet products allows customers using FortiGate platforms to analyze their devices using RedSeal and gain a holistic understanding of access control, risk and compliance across the entire enterprise. "RedSeal offers powerful security intelligence for enterprise network infrastructure," said Patrick Bedwell, vice president of product marketing at Fortinet. "The integration between FortiGate and RedSeal helps our joint customers to quickly identify and remediate potential weaknesses and reduce risks through a complementary platform that provides a more comprehensive understanding of their network behavior." RedSeal's software analyzes the complex interaction of firewalls, routers, load balancers and hosts across the entire enterprise network, assessing the security capabilities of the infrastructure as a whole rather than simply the behavior of individual devices. RedSeal Network Advisor ensures that an organization's desired security policies are actually enforced by their network infrastructure, isolating specific rules and devices that create security holes and verifying continuously that network changes comply with approved policies. RedSeal Vulnerability Advisor analyzes the effect that network security has on host vulnerabilities, identifying those problems that are actually exposed to threats and could enable hackers to break through perimeter defenses to access sensitive assets using leapfrog attacks. This capability allows operations teams to focus their efforts on issues that create the greatest risk to their organization based on confirmed parameters of access, vulnerability and organizational impact – instead of utilizing their resources patching servers already shielded by multiple layers of network security.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
Preach On, Gideon
First, to find some new defense blogs to link to as I clear out some apparently-abandoned blogs.
The other was to try to write a meaningful piece on the Dharun Ravi - Rutgers - cyberbullying - "hate crime" - "bias intimidation" - "Tyler Clementi" case. But I had too many thoughts spinning around in my head, and I just wasn't ready to organize them all yet.
Instead, I found this excellent blog post When hard cases make bad law: Why the Rutgers Conviction is Wrong that says it all much better than I could. And in the process, I've found Gideon Speaks - a new (to me) defense blog!
Two birds, one stone.

Thank you! I wanted to let you know that I recently moved my blog over to www.gideonspeaks.com. I hope you will continue to follow me there. Thanks again!ReplyDelete
Nice! I too have found that many of the blogs I used to read have been abandoned. I'm still here. Not posting so frequently, but dammit, I'll never go away!ReplyDelete
Wow! I don't usually find so many great new places to check out on one blog. Both of those links are now on my favorites list. Thanks for the great share.ReplyDelete

Labour's water and electricity proposals would lead to 'higher taxes'
Labour's plans for a reduction in water and electricity rates would fail and lead to higher debts which would have to be paid through higher taxes or tariffs, Finance Minister Tonio Fenech said this afternoon.
Addressing a news conference, Mr Fenech said DNV Kema's recommendation confirmed that a gas pipeline as proposed by the government was cheaper than Labour's proposal.
The PL's proposals, unveiled last Tuesday, would mean another €200 million at least would be required for infrastructure to be built in Malta. The PL said the proposed plant was estimated at €166 million, but in 2009, Bateman's tender offer with the same technology was of €186 million for a smaller 150 MW plant.
The cost would, therefore, be closer to €240 million. Additionally, Labour also failed to account for the costs related to the acquisition of tankers, and other infrastructure. Mr Fenech pointed out that Labour's imagery conveniently failed to show the true size of the storage tanks required.
To cover the capability of the gas tanks being proposed, two to three vessels would have to be dedicated to this operation, built purposely for this 25-year project. These vessels would cost at least €50 million each.
Moreover, no maritime study was carried out to see if a ship would be able to berth with the available infrastructure.
A jetty would probably also have to be built and this was estimated to cost around €50 million.
Labour's proposal cost closer to €600 million rather than the €370 million the party was claiming. This cost more than the government's interconnector and extension and yet, the PL wanted the people to believe they would reduce the rates, Mr Fenech said.
The minister said that standard power purchase agreements did not provide for a price guarantee for 10 years and an agreement which did provide for such a guarantee would be far more expensive than Labour was claiming.
He said that in the past 10 years the cost of gas had shot up in line with the price of oil. He noted that estimates that Labour would generate electricity at 9c6 per unit did not come from their consultants' report. Labour refused to say how they got to this figure or what the energy mix was going to be.
It was a figure Labour's energy expert Konrad Mizzi came up with without saying how.
The government had been wanting to opt for gas for a long time but all studies carried out had shown that this was not viable.
The government remained committed to give the people the cheapest possible energy in a sustainable way.
The minister said that the timeframes given for the implementation of the Labour's proposal were also unrealistic. Labour was proposing to cut tariffs years before their project could materialise.
Moreover, Labour's proposal isolated Malta from the EU, which wanted the whole union to be joined with gas pipelines in one united grid.
Since the EU knew that Malta and Cyprus were cut off from the mainland, it had accepted to help financially.
Labour's project would not receive EU assistance because it breached European strategy even though it was more expensive than the government's option.
Mr Fenech said that the government had today also published, on the Finance Ministry's website, all gas studies it had carried out.
Labour's proposal was a gimmick the same way its proposal to remove VAT in 1996 had been.
The minister's presentation can be read in the pdf link below.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Newport 41s (designed by C&C for those that do not know) seem to surprise a lot of people. As a Capital Yachts product, they are often portrayed as inferior quality to Tartans and the like. While this may be generally true (Newports were built to a price point), the N41 has much going for it, as the previous poster has indicated, for a lot less money. They were also the "flagship" of Capital Yachts, so you know the builder had extra pride in them.
I sailed with Captain Greg Daley aboard his N41 "Principessa" from Marina del Rey to Catalina Island a few years ago. Totally impressed with the boat's performance. He also won his division that year in a Southern California racing series to address the racing question.
|Well there is no Tartan 41 that I know of made in the mid to early 80s. However there is a Tartan 40 that I am familiar with. The two boats are very similar in speed. They rate between a 102 and 108 handicap for the most part. The Newport has a slightly larger rig and longer LWL. The Tartan is about 200lbs lighter. I pick the Newport because of the rig, the LWL, the easily driven hull, and the fact that I own one. Did I mention the Tartan os two or three times the price. P.S. any Tartan 40 owners in the Victoria Seattle are want to prove me wrong?
Tartan 41 vs. Newport 41s
A Tartan 41 racing against a Newport 41s. Same age(say 1982),an equal number of upwind and downwind legs,new sails,equal crews,etc.Wind is 12 kts. Which one is likely to win ?

Andrew McCutchen and Super Two
Andrew McCutchen - Newscom (UPI/BIll Greenblatt)
Yesterday, Tim Williams of Pirates Prospects noted that this year's cut-off for Super Two arbitration eligible players is about eight days earlier than it has ever been before. This could be a concern for the Pirates' front office, as there is now a strong possibility of Andrew McCutchen reaching arbitration a year earlier than expected. Thus, the cost of the talented young player could increase considerably.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Super Two rule, it allows certain players to reach arbitration after their second year in the league, whereas most players must wait until they have reached three years of service time. The end result is that, at least for the upcoming offseason, any player with at least 2 years, 122 days of servic...

2012 Ford Focus Speakers Question
I have noticed a loud rasp coming from the speaker in the rear left door. I decided to replace the speakers because I had thought I had blown one. As I was replacing the speakers in the car I noticed the speaker in the left rear door was different then all the other ones in the car. I wanted to know if anyone else has noticed this or if Ford just installed one wrong speaker. I paid for the upgraded Sony sound system which I believe the 3 speakers are.
Speaker on the Left is made out of a different material then the other three.
That one on the left does look like the lesser package speaker. I'd guess its the wrong one
The one on the right is the correct speaker for the Sony system.
Ok, Thank you I am guessing that they must have installed one incorrect speaker. I will contact the dealer tomorrow to see if they will fix this mistake....
Thanks again!
You know, come to think of it that's pretty crappy.
They knew they were putting in the wrong speaker and just didn't care.
The doors are probably assembled on another line then attached to the car. It wouldn't be hard to put different speaker in

For Whom Does the Boilermaker Bell Toll?
If you are asking for whom the bell tolls on Boilermaker Sunday, it tolls for you – if, that is, you are a runner who makes it as far as the eight-mile mark.
M&T Bank is giving away cowbells to help create a mile-long cheer zone for spectators to ring in their support for participants.
In a written release Allen J. Naples, Central New York Regional President for M&T Bank, says, "The Boilermaker has become a premier event for the Utica community, attracting runners from across the country, and all over the world."
In addition to the bells, the "M&T Mile" will also feature music and water to help get runners through the final stretch of the course. Boilermaker Executive Director Tim Reed said, "We know the runners will appreciate the efforts of M&T to make this mile one to look forward to – not one to dread."
The 37th Boilermaker Road Race takes place on Sunday, July 13, 2014.

Australia at odds with cigarette makers over plain packaging impact
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian laws requiring cigarettes to be sold in drab olive-green packets with graphic health warnings are making smokers think more about quitting, a study has shown, but cigarette makers say they have seen little impact on sales.
Australia introduced the world's toughest laws on plain packaging late last year and other countries, including New Zealand and Ireland, plan to follow.
Britain said this month it was delaying plans to ban company branding on cigarette packets because it wanted to first see the impact of Australia's measures.
A study of 500 Australian smokers showed most believed their cigarettes were less satisfying and of lower quality than a year ago, with most also thinking more about quitting.
The British Medical Journal will publish the results of the study, commissioned by the Cancer Society of Victoria, on Tuesday.
"Smokers have been telling us that our new plain packaging and larger graphic health warnings are putting them off," health minister Tanya Plibersek said.
"And while tobacco companies haven't changed the formula of their products, we've had feedback from smokers saying their cigarettes taste worse since the government's required packaging to be plain."
But British & American Tobacco PLC said that while it was still early days, its research showed no deviation in the steady decline in smokers seen over the past 10 years.
"There has been no noticeable impact on legal tobacco sales in the first six months due to plain packaging, as smokers are still purchasing cigarettes just as they were before it was introduced," BAT spokesman Scott McIntyre said in a statement. Continued...

The Hard News
Journalism is digging for hard news, right? Digging deep.
22 MINUTES? Commander Drudge seems to be taking some delight in reporting on the ratings race sparked by the launch of Katie Couric's CBS Evening News Today show. He links to a Variety article that analyzes the latest numbers.
Katie Couric's "Evening News" fell to third place Monday night, just six nights after she stormed into first in her debut week at CBS.
Couric's debut... brought in well over 13 million total viewers last week. While her audience dwindled from there, she finished the week with a comfortable 3 million-viewer lead over NBC's "Nightly News" and ABC's "World News."
But on Monday, the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Couric resumed a ratings position only slightly better than the one Bob Schieffer left her with. Her 7.49 million total viewers were slightly behind ABC's 7.87 million and NBC's 8.27 million.
Drudge's headline features the ratings slump, but he appears to have missed the most shocking part of the story, buried in the tenth paragraph:
Rival nets pointed out that Couric's "Evening News" aired the least amount of hard news among the network newscasts over the course of last week.
According to news analyst Andrew Tyndall, CBS aired 19 minutes of hard news last week, compared with 46 minutes for ABC and 44 minutes for NBC.
Come again. Couric had 19 minutes of hard news? That's less than four minutes per day and only half the time viewers are subjected to commercials in a half-hour newscast. This means the CBS news audience will, on average, learn twice as much about floorwax, hemorrhoid remedies, and fast food alternatives than they will about what happened today in the world. And Les Moonves expects us to take him seriously as a news executive?
ABC and NBC aren't much better, averaging barely 9 minutes a day each of hard news, which is just about a minute more than the time allotted for floorwax and hemorrhoids. For this we have to endure the slick sanctimony of Brian Williams? If this truly is the financial reality of network news, shouldn't he discard the Savile Row suits and opt for one of those porkpie hats with a card reading "Press" stuck in the brim? And maybe he could also be honest enough to return to those thrilling days of yesteryear and read the ad copy himself while holding up an oversized pack of Chesterfields. That would at least be entertaining.
Still, we are bamboozled with columns by media journalists analyzing whether or not Katie Couric has the starpower to save the genre of nightly network news broadcasts. The answer is no. No one can save a format so utterly empty and bankrupt. You can get more hard news than that between calls on your cell phone.
The options are few and stark. The networks can go burlesque, or they can turn out the lights and go home, because nobody will be watching.

Solid build and pretty good performance with minimal hassle
Pros: Well Built, Ergonomic
Cons: Tolerances not quite as tight as they could be
I remember years back before I really understood the issues of starches in potatoes and the danger of over working them. We were having thanksgiving dinner, and I had purchased a kitchen-aid stand mixer and was excited to offer it up for use with the mashed potatoes. The more we worked them with the paddle, the more milk and butter we added in a useless bid to bring back from the dead some semblance of creamy and fluffy potatoes.
Never again! I learned that to make the best, smooth and creamy mashed potatoes you need a potato ricer. Oxo is a brand that I feel produces consistent quality, focusing on ergonomics and practicality in their designs. The prices are about middle of the road so I feel they are a good buy.
This ricer is no exception in terms of the build quality and ergonomics. That is, the stainless has held up well now for years and the tool is comfortable, at least in my larger hands. It performs the job well, and doesn't require a tremendous amount of force. The only possible annoyance is that due to the tolerance between the plate and the sides of the ricer, you end up with residual potato. It's not a big deal because it can be pulled back out and added right into the mixture because what is able to squeak by the plate is still mashed to a smooth consistency.
I've actually found some other uses for this, albeit it as a bit of a stretch. I didn't have a food mill last year and had come into a lot of tomatoes from the garden. I attempted to make my own tomato sauce, and used the ricer as a way to press the pulp of the tomato out while leaving the skin inside the ricer. It worked to some degree but was a mess. Something more exciting that I would like to attempt is homemade couscous. It seems like using the ricer and a knife I could probably get a pretty good product.
All in all, it's a solid buy. It may not be the best on the market but I prefer stainless products as I feel they can last a lifetime. The Oxo brand potato ricer does a fine job.

I wonder how many times they had to rehearse this maneuver.
glumbert - The Best Wrestling Move Ever
CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
Abso-tively not! I called the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy and they both told me no........
Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
---Ronald Reagan
It's not fake they practice every move and decide in advance who's gonna win
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
It's not fake. It's just that none of it is real.
My father cousin used to be a professional wrestler used to to tell him exectly how long it the match who last to the second.
Hey, it's theater, and the crowds love it. That doesn't diminish the fact that these guys take some astonishing punishment. Sure, a face-stomp might be pulled or actually be a mat-stomp, but bouncing a guy off the mat from shoulder height is NOT trivial. My hat's off to them for both their athletic prowess AND their showmanship.
All that said, I think I would rather take one of these guys out for a drink and get some stories rather than watch a match, though. Hollerin' an' wollopin' each other ain't my cup of tea.
Recently updated website: http://www.damagedphotorepair.com
Ask John Stossel.
He got hit on the side of the head by wrestler David Schultz.
Schultz struck Stossel after Stossel asked whether professional wrestling was fake.
(Stossel sued and got a little under a half million dollars.)
So my opinion is ...
Of course professional wrestling is real.
I don't want MY butt kicked telling you all that it is fake...
"Proud To Have Been Banned by Huff PO"
My grandpa went to his grave in his 80's swearing up and down that wrestling was real and no one ever walked on the Moon. If you said any different, the fight was on.
While professional wrestling is fake, the wrestlers themselves aren't like the ones back in my childhood. Some of those guys were so scrawny that I believe my grandmother could have taken them. Now days, these guys are true athletes, performing for the crowd, with some incredible moves.
"We are the people our parents warned us about!" J. Buffett
I think to a certain point its real, but also having to make sure their wrestlers dont get too badly hurt (hogan for example, Stone cold) becaues once they cant fight anymore they are gone.
When life gives you lemons, Open a lemonaid buisness.
There's a difference between fake and pre-determined. Yes, a lot of those moves still hurt, and the lifestyle sucks. I'm away from my home 5 days a week, but these guys are away from theirs for months at a time, constantly traveling, entertaining the crowds, and dealing with abuse.
And the largest majority of them don't make crap when it comes to money. They do it because they dream of being the next Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, etc...
My hats off to them. I couldn't do it.
"Stand your ground, don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here!" - John Parker April 19th, 1775 Lexington, MA

General Pipe Question...
I'm a strick DIY hence most of all the materials I buy can be had at HD or other big box home improvement stores...
I was at a friends place who's doing a whole house renovation (he hired pros) and noticed that the plumber used a lot of iron pipes for roughing in some of the plumbing fixtures. So I see stub outs to tub spigot and shower fixtures that uses iron pipes. They are threaded and too long, but the plumber will come and cut down and re-thread once the tiles works, etc. are done around it...
My questions are...
1) Is this common practice?
2) How do they re-thread a small 3/4 inch iron pipe once it cut to length? I thought the tap/die tools are pretty big?
I am not a plumber... but would be surprise people use iron pipes rather than copper nowadays..... if it is for the sake of saving money.... that's too bad ... iron pipe one thing I realize... it rusts... I may be wrong though...
I'm not a plumber either, but cast iron is usually used because it's quieter than plastic or copper pipe. The sound of the water doesn't travel through it. And given copper prices right now, it may be on par with copper pipe pricewise.
I'm not a pro plumber, but I've been DIYing it for more than 50 years.
If it were me, I would tell your friend to jerk a knot in that so-called plumber for installing obsolete galvanized pipe anywhere for any reason.
He should refuse it!
Cast iron is perfectly fine for drain lines, some places (NYC for example) even require it. If he's using galvanized for drain lines he's doing something wrong though.
Thanks for the posts... it definitely is NOT all iron... the original house was all copper, the new runs and extensions are done in pex. Only the stub outs are iron. I'll keep an eye out as to what the plumber does, but I know from my own experience, the final length of pipe is hard to guage with drywall, tile and other surfaces. So the thing to look out for is to make sure the plumber replaces the temp iron with brass in the final work...
But are the brass tubes cut to custom length and threaded on site?
Pieces 6in and smaller are typically bought from the store that way, and sizes from 1.5 (close) to 6in in half inch intervals are stocked on the trucks. The time involved with threading small nipples doesn't make it worth it to sit there and do it yourself.
I ran into the plumber today (I'm there doing the floor for my friend.. different story)...
I had a chance to talk to him and he confirmed exactly that... when he comes back in to finish, he'll replace with the brass tubing and he has them in his truck in 1/2 in increments...

Congress Passes American Taxpayer Relief Act
At the eleventh hour on Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the American Taxpayer Relief Act, legislation that enacted extensive tax reforms and averted the feared "fiscal cliff,"— a series of tax increases and spending cuts that threatened to derail the U.S. economic recovery.
The act sets the top income tax bracket at 39.6 percent, where it stood prior to the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, which had pegged 35 percent as the top bracket. The new legislation adjusts the 10-, 15-, 25-, 28-, 33- and 35-percent tax brackets for inflation while fixing the top bracket of 39.6 percent at incomes over $400,000. In the future, the top bracket will be indexed by inflation as well.
Capital gains, dividends rates, estate and payroll taxes and other taxes, credits and regulations are also affected by the bill, which is expected to be sent to President Obama for his signature today.

A dozen great coaches have tried to recreate Super Bowl glory with another team. All have fallen short of winning another title. Two died while trying.
That's crucial to consider as the NFL firing season for coaches nears – specifically in North and South Florida, where head coaches Jack Del Rio and Tony Sparano appear to be goners. There is talk in both Jacksonville and Miami that the next coaches will be "star-power" guys with proven résumés such as Super Bowl-winning coaches Bill Cowher and Jon Gruden.
If it's possible to give billionaire owners such as Wayne Weaver of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Stephen Ross of the Miami Dolphins advice on how to run their teams, there is only one conclusion to draw about hiring a coach who has won a Super Bowl.
It's tempting to hire Bill Parcells or Jimmy Johnson or even Mike Ditka. Clearly, it will sell tickets. But if history is the prime indicator, it will produce nothing of any real meaning. None of the 12 men (Parcells, Johnson, Ditka, Mike Holmgren, Don McCafferty, Joe Gibbs(notes), Mike Shanahan, Hank Stram, Dick Vermeil, George Seifert, Tom Flores and even Vince Lombardi) who have tried have won a Super Bowl title with a second team. I'm including Gibbs in this group since he had an 11-year gap between his first and second stint with the Redskins.
In fact, the group as a whole doesn't even have a winning record, and Holmgren and Parcells are the only coaches in that dozen who have returned to the Super Bowl.
"If you did a really thorough study of it, I think the first thing you would ask is whether those coaches were ever able to find another quarterback – and there are some other issues," Holmgren said. "But that's surprising."
[Related: Super Bowl causes yarn shortage]
NFL historians will note that the underappreciated Weeb Ewbank did win titles with both the Baltimore Colts and the New York Jets. However, his NFL championships with the Colts in 1958 and 1959 came before the Super Bowl era, before the incarnation of the AFL, and at a time when the NFL had only 12 teams. As historic as Ewbank's achievement is, the challenge was not nearly the same as today.
With that in mind, consider this breakdown of how the aforementioned 12 coaches combined to do with the teams they eventually led to Super Bowl victories:
Total seasons coached: 104
Regular-season record: 1,002-554-16
Postseason record: 93-38
Super Bowl appearances: 23
Super Bowl championships: 20
Overall winning percentage: 63.7
Here's how those 12 coaches did their second time – or, in Parcells' case, second, third and fourth:
Total seasons coached: 49
Regular-season record: 365-397-3
Postseason record: 10-17
Super Bowl appearances: 2
Super Bowl titles: 0
Overall winning percentage: 47.7
Of course, some of the evidence is skewed. For instance, both Lombardi and McCafferty died after only one season with their second teams. Shanahan hasn't completed his second season with the Washington Redskins but is already on his third quarterback.
Of the other nine, Parcells, Holmgren, Johnson and Vermeil did reasonably well. Parcells and Holmgren led the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks, respectively, to Super Bowl appearances. Still, all four fell short of their previous success despite a combine 29 years of chances with those other teams.
Gibbs, who won three Super Bowls with three different quarterbacks, was mediocre in his second stint in Washington.
Worse, there have been some guys who were failures. There was Ditka's cartoonish stint with the New Orleans Saints, including his famous trade of an entire draft (and more) for Ricky Williams(notes) – whereupon Ditka joked that he was going to take the rest of the draft off and go golfing. Likewise, Hank Stram flopped in the Crescent City.
Tom Flores and George Seifert each won two Super Bowls in California's Bay Area. When they went elsewhere, their success (and reputations) took severe hits. Neither has ever gotten any serious consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
What are the reasons for the futility? It's a daunting question, considering the fact that Major League Baseball's Tony La Russa is on the verge of another World Series title. He and Sparky Anderson both won MLB titles with two different teams. Likewise, Alex Hannum, Phil Jackson and Pat Riley have each won NBA titles with separate teams. In fact, La Russa, Anderson, Jackson and Riley all did it at the same time their NFL counterparts were flailing with the task.

There are several reasons:
• Quarterback – As Holmgren alluded, getting a quarterback is a significant issue. Holmgren traded for Matt Hasselbeck(notes) in Seattle, Parcells drafted Drew Bledsoe in New England and Johnson had Dan Marino in the final years of the Hall of Famer's career in Miami. Other coaches got good quarterbacks as well, such as Vermeil getting Trent Green(notes), but none ever got a truly elite player.
"A lot of people ask me why did I leave Green Bay when I had Brett Favre(notes) in his prime? And you have to wonder if anyone now would leave with a guy who's going that hot," Holmgren said. "Would Mike McCarthy leave now that he has Aaron Rodgers(notes) really going? I had my reasons for leaving and I was able to get Hasselbeck, but that's a huge key."
• Assistant coaches – There are more limits now with coaches being able to take assistants from one team to another. Having stability within a coaching staff is crucial.
"The more guys you have who understand you, who understand the system and who understand each other, the easier it is to make a transition," Holmgren said. "If you can avoid reteaching a lot of coaches, you've simplified a lot of things.
• Personnel – Many coaches take on too much responsibility the second time around. Or as Parcells once famously said when he and Patriots owner Bob Kraft were about to split: "If I'm going to be asked to cook the meal, I'd like to be able to pick the groceries."
However, that desire was once counterbalanced by the attitude of former New York Giants general manager George Young. The late Young picked the players when Parcells won two Super Bowls with the Giants. When Parcells quit and it became apparent he would resurface with another team because he wanted control over personnel, Young often warned people that it wouldn't turn out well for Parcells.
In Seattle, Holmgren had final authority over personnel but he also had executive Ted Thompson (now the general manager in Green Bay) running the personnel department. That's likely one of the reasons that Holmgren was able to have a relatively successful 10-year run with the Seahawks.
"Ted was so good at running the personnel, I could just step in and make a final decision and not have to worry about a lot of the stuff that went into it," Holmgren said. "We didn't get into a lot of arguments about it. We would have a discussion and I would have to make a final judgment, but it was never a big problem."
Other places have not been so smooth. In New Orleans, Ditka took over quickly and turned the roster into a joke.
[Download the free Yahoo! Sportacular app for iPhone and Android and never leave the game behind]
"Ditka had no clue how to run a team," a former Saints executive said. "He didn't even really understand how you put a roster together in the offseason. I can't even begin to tell you how crazy it was at times. It was chaos."
"What coaches forget a lot of time is that there has to be a balanced view between building the roster and trying to win the next day," said Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian. "You have a coach and a GM for a reason and they have to work together … besides just the philosophical part of it, the jobs are just too big for one person to do both really effectively."
Some have, but never for an extended time. Johnson built the Cowboys into an eventual three-time champion in the 1990s with his extensive knowledge of personnel from the collegiate level (he had just come from being the University of Miami head coach). While Johnson picked a lot of good players when he was in Miami (Jason Taylor(notes), Zach Thomas(notes), Patrick Surtain(notes) and Sam Madison(notes) were his best picks), his success wasn't nearly as strong.
• Dealing with pressure – For some, the pressure, even the self-induced portion, is too great. In 1996, Johnson took over in Miami, a job he coveted from the time he coached the Hurricanes. Shortly after taking the Dolphins job, he pronounced that he would have them in the Super Bowl within four years. By the end of the 1998 season, Johnson had the Dolphins in the playoffs for a second straight season, but they were blown out by the Broncos.
He quit after that season, only to be talked into coming back for one more year by owner Wayne Huizenga. However, Johnson progressively lost the fire in coaching, even before the 1999 season – once notably having the staff take a day off during training camp and then often leaving the office by 6 p.m. to let assistant Dave Wannstedt run the meetings. Johnson was even day-trading at times while at work.
"When it didn't happen as fast as Jimmy thought it was going to happen, I think he lost interest," said former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman.
That problem is accentuated by the fact that the coach now becomes the centerpiece of the organization in many cases. Rather than being a cog in the process and taking players who are drafted, the coach becomes the solution to everything.
"It's the old notion that players play and coaches coach," Polian said. "There's a balance between the two jobs and you have to have good people in both areas. If you make one of them bigger, it wipes out the balance."
And ultimately, it wipes out any chance for success.

Great Basin College Pipeline Program
Great Basin College offers a Biomedical Sciences Recruitment workshop at the Elko and Pahrump campuses of Great Basin College. The goal of this workshop is to encourage rural students to attend college in the sciences. We will recruit rural first-generation potential college students with a focus on Native Americans a year before they are eligible for the Biomedical Students Pipeline. This population faces challenges in science education common to rural areas (including budgetary concerns in small schools and difficulty in finding highly qualified teachers), low college attendance rates, and Native American issues that contribute to underrepresentation at universities. The Biomedical Sciences Recruitment workshop will encourage the students to continue to take science classes in their senior year of high school and excite them about attending college (be it a four-year institution or a rural community college such as Great Basin College) by exposing them to advanced experiments. The workshop will also direct them into the Biomedical Students Pipeline.
Recent Workshop Topics
- Detection of arsenic. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AA) will be used to detect small amounts of arsenic in drinking water and other biologically relevant samples.
- Organic synthesis of vanillin. This common flavoring agent will be synthesized easily from eugenol (the aromatic ingredient in cloves).
- Determination of carbon monoxide saturation in blood. Carbon monoxide (CO) bound to hemoglobin is easily differentiated from oxygen bound to hemoglobin by spectrophotometery.
- Identification of polymorphs. Students will isolate their own DNA from cheek cells and analyze their genomes for a common polymorphism such as those found in the Alu family of transposons.
Elko Workshop
The workshop located in Elko will be one week long enrolling 12 students modeled on the successful Biomedical Students Pipeline Program. It will consist of advanced experiments on the interface between biology and chemistry, use instrumentation, and have a concentration in the biomedical sciences.
Additionally, there will be round table discussions on success in college (especially science and math courses), and a field trip to a research or environmental analytical lab. Curricular emphasis will be placed on learning to think through challenging inquiry experiments, learning something new, and on peer-led or peer-oriented discussions about college.
Upon completion of the program students will be encouraged to apply for the Biomedical Student Pipeline Program the following summer (after the 12th grade). We will recruit two successful graduates per year to return to be paid peer mentors after they have completed a year in college science and math classes.
Pahrump/Nye County Workshop
Expansion to the campus center in Pahrump (rural Nye County, the southernmost county in the Great Basin College service area) will occur in the second year with one instructor and six students. The curriculum here will be similar, but the selection of experiments will differ from those in Elko based on the resources on the Pahrump campus. Two faculty members will be needed to teach the workshop in Elko. One faculty member will work 15 days each year, the other faculty member will work 10 days. This includes preparation for the workshop. Site coordination and recruitment will be accomplished by hiring a part-time person. Extensive long-distance travel needed in recruitment dictates that this position cannot be held by a full-time faculty member. Additionally, a liaison to Native American communities in Northern Nevada (already employed by Great Basin College) will take part in trips to communities such as Owyhee and Duckwater.

Winning Design Of NYC Micro-Apartments Unveiled
'My Micro NY' units feature two separate zones, a 'toolbox' with a kitchen, bathroom and storage space, and a 'canvas' with a flexible living and sleeping area.
The adAPT NYC Competition challenged designers to create micro-apartments for young, single professionals, and the winner was announced this week by Mayor Bloomberg. 'My Micro NY' was proposed by a development team composed of Monadnock Development LLC, Actors Fund Housing Development Corporation, and nARCHITECTS.
The project will create 55 new micro-units on a City-owned site at 335 East 27th Street in Manhattan. 40% of these will be available to low and middle-income New Yorkers.
The new apartments will be designed to optimize space and built using modular construction, with the modules pre-fabricated locally by Capsys at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They will measure 250-370 square feet and feature Juliette balconies.
The micro-apartments are composed of two zones, a 'toolbox' that contains a kitchen, bathroom, and storage space, and a 'canvas' that provides a flexible living and sleeping area.
The building itself focuses on interaction and the community, with multi-purpose spaces, shared lounges on nearly every floor, a rooftop garden, cafe, and a ground-floor porch with picnic tables. There will also be a laundry room, residential storage, a bike room, and fitness space. Residents are expected to move in by September 2015.

I mounted mine under the truck on the passenger frame rail. I made a steel plate to hold the horns, compressor, and tank. I faced the horns backwards to keep crud out of them. The sound echos off the pavement so they are plenty loud.

Well, I spent a night in the hospital, I had a Urinary tract blockage. Ouch it hurt, they had to sedate me and put a thingy up my you-know-what. I am sure glad that is over with.
Mom thinks that it is because of stress, because we got a new Puppy, and I don't really like her. Also my human brother has autism and he bugs me a lot and my lover kitty Tessa is not spayed yet so she goes into heat and that stresses me out, cause I'm nuetered and can't put her out of her misery. Luckily she is getting spayed next Thursday. Also mom says it might have been because of the bad food I ate last month when we couldn't afford the raw food so we had to get donated food. But mom is selling a bunch of "Junk" she said so that we can just eat our raw food, and a friend gave us some free venison, which I love.
Well, that's enough for now, I need my rest.
One time the neighbors long haired chihuahua was annoying me, so I pounced, the humans called it something like "attack" I wasn't allowed to go outside for a whole week afterwards... but the neighborhood dogs don't bother me anymore, ha ha ha.
I was stuck tonight! Even though I've gotten up and down that darn thing a million times I totally blanked tonight and could not for the life of me figure out how to get down, and I sure the heck wasn't going to jump! No Maam! Daddy had to get me down, and was so scared... he was not happy about my predicament either and I had a talkin' to, when I got back inside:O(
I wonder if this means I only have 7 lives now?

text: I recently installed BT3 with persistent changes on my USB stick, everything went well. This is a clean install on a brand new USB stick, and it constantly locks up while I am surfing the internet with Firefox, and sometimes when I am just doing anything in BT3. These lockups usually happen when I open a new tab, click on a link, or do pretty much anything else in the browser. When I click on something be it a new tab or link the browser window that I have open locks up for a couple of seconds then the window start responding again. Also sometimes whenever I attempt to close a window it locks up as well, or when I drag and drop items to the Desktop or elsewhere. From what I've read browsing should be faster in BT3 but that is not the case for me, because of the constant lockups. I used this same USB stick on two different computers(Core 2 Duo e6600, 2gb PC8500 DDR2, nVIDIA 8800GTS)(Athlon 64 3000+,1.5gb PC3200 DDR, nVIDIA 6800), and these lockups still happen regardless. I tried formatting the USB stick, and reinstalling BT3 but nothing gets rid of these lockups. I also tried installing the latest nVIDIA driver but that didn't fix anything either. What is the cause of all these lockups? And is there any solutions?

Timmins rises to the occasion with late heroics
Page Tools
Shaun Timmins begged for the ball, dropped it on to his left boot and, as it sailed sweetly through the posts, he won the game for the Blues and the man-of-the-match award for himself.
It was only the second field goal of his career - and coach Phil Gould said it was a "mighty" effort. Gould said feats such as Timmins's made Origin special.
And Timmins's Origin history has hardly been sweet; he injured his knee in the 2000 series while scoring a try and that ruled him out of the game for 18 months and threatened his career.
Last night it went perfectly for the five-eighth. He lived out every league player's dream. "It was unreal, I've always wanted to win a game, to do it like that in that sort of situation playing for NSW. I'm stoked," Timmins said.
With Craig Gower fumbling and failing with three attempts in front of the white posts with time ticking down in extra time, Timmins could be seen in the middle of Telstra Stadium, 40 metres out, pleading for the ball.
With his legs and mind re-energised from time on the bench, he knew he had it in his muscles and wanted the shot.
"I was pretty fresh," he said. "I'd had about five minutes on the sideline. I went back on in the extra time, I was looking to get my hands on it and then we got down there, so I thought, 'may as well have a shot'.
"Gowie went for a few shots and I saw they were chasing him all the time. I just tried to belt it."
Timmins knows he doesn't have much time left in the game and savoured the moment with a beer in hand after the match. "Every game I get I cherish," he said. "To get that field goal tonight, I'm pretty relieved. It came off sweet and ended up just getting over."
The field goal wasn't Timmins's only highlight. Earlier he had managed - with three Queenslanders hanging off him - to reach out and score the Blues' only try.
Gould said he had spoken with Timmins last week about kicking for goal. "I actually spoke to him last week about being second goalkicker before Mick De Vere came into the squad," he said. "I knew he'd done a bit of goalkicking in the past, but he said, 'I had a [goal] kick from in front to win a game about five years ago and I missed it'. He said, 'I haven't had a kick since' - and we spoke about stepping up and doing things you are not known for."
Timmins went off in the 73rd minute and it was only because of the extra time with the allowance of two extra interchanges that he made it back on the field.
"Thank God we get two interchanges in golden point," Gould said. "He just said, 'Give me the ball' - That's what great Origin players do."
