Discussion in 'Off-topic Zone' started by Shunpike, Feb 17, 2013.
I am like an addict
I miss football. Need to find some new hobbies. Any suggestions? Offseason sucks
I went snowboarding for the first time yesterday and it's something I am going to do as long as I can. Extremely sore today from about 30 falls during the first 4 runs. :laugh2:
Are you the old creepy dude at the skate park?
Enjoy the outdoors.
During the offseason I completely forget about football and only focus in on the draft, FA week, etc. Football will be more enjoyable when it comes back around that way.
I fly RC helicopters. I can fly it all through the house and sometimes, even thought I'm not supposed to, I chase one of my cats around the house.
I cannot fly outside because of all the snow.
I play pickup basketball. I've never played football though. Hockey is my sport, unfortunately where I go to college has no ice rinks so I haven't been able to play in years.
edit: I guess your talking about NFL? You should watch hockey.
That was a pretty drastic change of mood for me, never before have I seen those two together. Damn Matteau
Puck the Devils. 6:14 Devils taking down the Stars.
Distance running. Good activity if you're the contemplative sort of person because aside from the cardio benefits you can turn your brain off and listen to music and/or take in the scenery for however long you're running. Very relaxing.
Golf, sailing, twitter, NFLN and spending time on this site helps the offseason fly by for me.
Hockey. It's such a great sport and under-appreciated. The other thing I do during the off-season is grow heirloom tomatoes. I still have around 100 varieties of seeds, but got blight on mine last season, so I haven't even started any for this season. Seasons past I got plants between 8 and 14 feet high, and loved giving away the excess to everyone I could. Tomatoes are too expensive in HEB, and they are crap to boot.
Most of us have been missing football for 16 years or so............
I tape the games and watch some of them or like today I spent the day hunting Makorov and killed that sorry Sheppard with a Bowie knife to the eye socket.
Then pulled MW2 for an update and an hour or so on it.
This morning I brought my air compressor around to my garage and hooked it up to my hose reel to make it easy to keep the tire pressure right and help my gas mileage.
Drinking also works well.
Yep, I am kinda missing football to. But I watch quite a bit of college FB this past year an got my fill.
I am not the kind of person to over-react when the Cowboys don't do that well, but I gotta admit I am really hoping for some post season play from the boys in the 13-14 season, more than I normally do. A 20 plus year drought is too much.
Youtube is your friend.
Last night, I saw the opening night game between Cowboys @ Giants last season and I saw Cowboys @ Raiders back in 92.

In 1997 Lawsuit, Davis Claimed 'Damages to Mental Health'
In a 1997 slander lawsuit, Wendy Davis, the likely Democratic nominee for Governor, claimed that what she considered false reporting by the Ft. Worth Star Telegram had resulted, in the words of the lawsuit: "Davis has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages to her mental health," 1200 WOAI news reports.
Davis, who was then a 33 year old Ft. Worth attorney who had lost her first political bid, to be elected to the Ft. Worth City Council, sued the Star-Telegram, which is the major daily newspaper in Ft. Worth, claiming that its coverage of the election, in which the newspaper endorsed her opponent. In her lawsuit, Davis claimed that the editors of the newspaper 'knew the articles and editorials would, in reasonable probability, result in harm to the reputation of Wendy Davis.'
"The statements made about Davis and her candidacy were not true, reasonable, and fair comments of criticism of her and her candidacy," the lawsuit states. "The comments were actuated by actual malice and knowledge of the falsity of some of the statements made, and with reckless disregard whether some of the statements were false or not."
In her request for 'significant damages' against the newspaper, Davis' attorneys wrote, "as a result of the actions described above, Davis has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages to her mental health, her physical health, her right to pursue public offices in the past and in the future, and to her legal career."
A request to Rebecca Acuna, the spokeswoman for Davis' campaign for governor, to comment about whether Davis received treatment for the 'damages to her mental health' and whether she still suffers from mental health issues,' was not returned.
"I think this lawsuit is a window into Wendy Davis' soul' said one Republican strategist who asked not to be identified.
Democrats dismiss the mental health claim, saying claims like that are 'boilerplate' in lawsuits and should not be taken literally.
Davis' lawsuit was dismissed by the local, appellate, and eventually by the State Supreme Court.

It's not easy for musicians to put out a number one hit, but it is easier if Travis Wyrick is in their corner. He's a music producer at the top of his game who turns band members into rock stars. And it all happens in his West Knoxville studio.
"Bands come to me with music and song ideas and I try to help get them to the next level," said Travis.
Every work day Travis' basement studio is buzzing with musicians. This day in particular he was working with Cord of 3, a band from Kentucky.
"His perspective is just incredible. He knows what to do, when to do it and how to do it. It's amazing. He's amazing," said Robbie Bennett of Cord of 3.
During this session, we found out Travis' coaching goes beyond music.
"I am on a diet now, a high protein diet cause he wants you to be physically the best, spiritually the best and emotionally the best," said Robbie.
And Travis would know. He went through quite a transformation himself at a young age. He started in music as a teenager.
"The band was Sage and we started in high school. I think by the time I was 16 I was already playing clubs," said Travis. "It was a fast-paced life."
The band was flying high.
"We played with Bad Company, Steppenwolf, Peter Frampton, Bon Jovi, that era. Great time for music! Great time for concerts!" recalled Travis.
In the middle of their success, Travis found out he liked more than just playing music.
"As the band went on, we would start to do records and write songs and I guess the control freak in me took over and I was writing parts and conducting people and telling people what to do," said Travis.
He soon realized he liked the album he produced better than the one they paid thousands of dollars for.
"It did really well for the band. We had some songs on it that charted nationally," said Travis.
And then other bands came calling.
"A lot of people have so much in them, but they don't know how to get it out," said Travis.
His band had run its course, so Travis started producing full time, all kinds of music from all genres: P.O.D, Eric Baker, Jagstar, even Dolly Parton. He built an amazing studio and started bringing in the accolades, two Grammy nominations, 11 Dove Award nominations, two Dove Awards, 20 number one singles. He was in his element and enjoying every minute.
"Helping break artists, helping take someone who doesn't know how to get from point A to point B or has a ton of talent but just doesn't know what to do with it," described Travis.
His success hasn't come without struggles. When his mom passed away, it took a huge toll on him.
"When you have a death, especially such an awesome role model in your life, you really start for the first time stop being selfish and you start really analyzing who you are and what you are," said Travis. "I really just started praying and trying to get my life straightened up and trying to figure out who I was. October 25, 17 years ago I just made the conscious effort to never drink again."
Now while this studio is consistently churning out chart-topping hits, he knows exactly what's important.
"I don't over work. I'm not a 10-12 hour day guy," said Travis. "To me it's all about family. I mean what good is all this success if I obsess over it and I try to die with ten million dollars in my coffin. It would be worthless."
Travis Wyrick, a big-time music producer musicians flock to who pushes them to their limits, but makes them succeed. Still East Tennessee is the only place for him.
"The more I saw other towns and the more these places that I thought I would one day want to live, the more I realized I loved Knoxville," said Travis.
One of Your Stories. There's no place like this one.

description: When a freeloader shows up on their turf, a pair of eagles take to the sky for a whirling battle of wills.

title: World's Deadliest: Midair Eagle Fight

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
One of this seabird's biggest threats...is other eagles.
It has to constantly defend its feeding ground from freeloaders.
A lone eagle has come to check out the fishing.
But this area belongs to this breeding pair, and they're not inclined to share.
Their calls act as a warning shot...which the invader ignores.
He's taking his dinner from their turf, and they're not putting up with it.
It's time to launch the first defensive volley.
The female takes point, dive bombing the intruder, starting a mid-air tug of war.
But she loses...both the fight...and the fish.
So she tag teams with her male partner.
The intruder and the defending male fly high, looking for the advantage.
Then, they lock talons, and the battle is on.
This whirling is a display of dominance, force and bravado.
The eagles climb higher, ready for another round.
It's an aerial game of chicken...and neither eagle blinks.
The intruder emerges unhurt...but decides to move on.
Their territory once again secure, the breeding pair takes a victory lap.

Old Town, Prague
Old Town (Czech: Staré Město) is the original place of settlement of Prague, Czech Republic. It was separated from the outside by a semi-circular moat and wall, connected to the Vltava at both of its ends. The moat is now covered up by the streets (from north to south-west) Revolučni, na Příkopě, and Národni--which remain the official boundary of the cadastral district of Old Town. It is now in Praha 1.
After the city was expanded in the 14th century by Charles IV with the founding of the New Town, the moat and wall were therefore dismantled soon after.
Notable places in the Old Town include the Old Town Square or Astronomical Clock. Across the river Vltava is the Lesser Quarter, called Malá Strana in Czech. These two parts of the town are connected by Charles Bridge. Josefov is located in the northwest corner of Old Town (near but without reaching the Vltava).
From its early existence, approximately around 9th century Staré Město was laid out of settlements which appeared from the spacious marketplace of the bank of Vltava.
The records dated back to 1100 indicate that every Saturday there was a market on the marketplace, and the large military gatherings also took place there. Thanks to the trade the nearby area merchants became rich, and when the King Vaclav 1 gave them the privileges of town, the town of Pesto Prazske (the town of Prague) was formed. According to ancient records, the city had around 13 gates, and a huge water-fence, providing strong defenses.
After the city was expanded in the 14th century by Charles IV with the founding of the New Town, the moat and wall were therefore dismantled soon after.

Domestic Flight Availability and Distance
Domestic Flight Availability and Distance
Domestic Revenue Aircraft Departures (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)
Excel | CSV | Table Version
Average Domestic Flight Stage Length (monthly data, not seasonally adjusted)
Frequency of aircraft departures, the number of connections required for a single trip, and the match between available flights and travelers desired origin and destination points are all important determinants of scheduling convenience. Because data on connections are currently not available in a suitable format, flight stage length is used here to supplement the information on departures.
Flight stage length is the distance between take-off airport and landing airport. If the mix of origin and destination points are held constant, then an increase in flight stage length implies fewer connections are required for a trip and, therefore, higher quality of air passenger services.
The key relation is that departures and flight stage length will tend to move in opposite directions when changes are due to changes in the number of connections. For example, a trip from city A to city B with a connection in city C will have two departures, but generally a shorter average flight stage length, than the direct flight from A to B with a single departure.
|Domestic Flight Availability
|Revenue aircraft departures (thousands)
|Percent change from same month previous year
|Flight stage length (miles)
|Percent change from same month previous year
NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
The data have been adjusted to have a standard 30-day month by multiplying the data for each month by the ratio: 30/(actual days in month).
The data include both transborder and foreign flights by large U.S. carriers, but not include any flights by foreign carriers.
The dramatic changes in the September 2001 data reflect the impact of the terrorist attacks on Sept.11, 2001, on aviation, including several days in which commercial air operations were suspended.
The data reported here excludes small-certificated and commuter carriers that began reporting T100 data in 2002 for comparability with previous issues.
Refer to the Special Notes at: http://www.bts.gov/oai/indicators/top.html for specific concerns regarding the preliminary nature of the most recent data for latest issue of Air Carrier Traffic Statistics Monthly.

iPhoto movies don't play correctly in Live
- Live Versions: 6 - 9
- Operating System: All
Imported iPhoto slideshow movies play sound, but only show a black screen instead of video.
The slideshow has been exported using the "Quicktime" Tab in the iPhoto export window, resulting in a file that can't be played by Live.
In iPhoto, slideshows have to be exported using the "Slideshow" tab instead of the "Quicktime" tab in the export window.
Additional Information
- The "Quicktime" Tab in the iPhoto export window does not create a "real" video file, the resulting .mov file always only contains photos and a crossfade command. Those files can be spotted by checking the file details in the finder: The used codec will be displayed as "PHOTO - JPEG, Cross Fade, Integer (Little Endian), Tween".
- The "Slideshow" export window tab in iPhoto, which should be used instead, lets you customize all your codec settings.

Thread: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
Re: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
Yea. Remember Glazer said the buck stops here. That was after he got the Bucs and was a shot at us because none of us wanted him. Hell, we had two groups and then he came flying in as a carpet bagger.
Anyway, after saying that, when Moag took the stadium money off the table 3 teams jumped for it - Browns, Bucs and Cardinals. Moag wanted Art because he was the best owner and had a storied franchise like the Colts.
So Glazer kept calling Moag who refused his calls telling his secretary to say I'm out. Then when Art signed, Glazer was pissed as hell.
Payback was sweet for Moag. :)
The young guys don't even remember Moag, it's all Bisciotti but he wouldn't be here w/o Moag getting us the team. He gave the NFL 30 days to take his package or he was taking it off the table. Brilliant move by new Guv
Glendenning. He did in 1 month what Scaheffer couldn't do
in 8 years. Get us a team.

Re: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
In his last court fight, the old man's bitch tried to take the team from him but he won but she got the ranch. Jimmy even returned expensive jewelry the old man bought her as power of atty. The old man tried to fire Jimmy but it was too late. He was already deemed mentally incapable of handling his own affairs by the court and Jimmy was his guardian.
That said, the bitch still got two seats in the sky box and I read where JImmy put a partition down the middle of it so he wouldn't have to see her.

Re: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
I've been getting into Blues since I go into iTunes and don't like any of the new releases. Love North Mississippi Blues and BB King and Billie Holliday.
Check out the Alligator records Blues compilations. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Junior Wells, Hound Dog Taylor, Albert Collins, Robert Cray, Charlie Musselwhite, Mavis Staples, and my favorite, Delbert McClinton.
Great stuff.
Re: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
Ok, thanks Ed.
Just got a new iPHone and I'm down loading the old stuff plus some new
tunes from iTunes.
Eric Clapton had some great blues albums and sang with BB King and Bonnie Raitt ain't bad either. Got one of her CDs.
Re: Drinking: An Irsay Tradition
Irsay is at it again. LOL
He's like that guy who just got home from the bar at 2 AM and starts drunk dialing his buddy's or females looking to score..

The San Diego Chargers have signed linebacker Reggie Walker and released kick returner Richard Goodman.
Walker spent his first four NFL seasons with Arizona, where his head coach was current Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt and his special teams coach was current Chargers special teams coordinator Kevin Spencer.
In 48 NFL games, Walker has 44 tackles and was the Cardinals' special teams captain last year.
Goodman had appeared in 26 games over the past three seasons with the Chargers, but a hamstring injury limited him to just seven games last year. He has averaged 27.6 yards on kickoff returns during his career.

Missionary Hadfield was present, and saw the sway wielded by the old chief's oratory.
The design for Huntley could easily have come from Hadfield.
She was the daughter of an Irishman named Hadfield, who was an innkeeper at Leghorn.
Mason would have been aware of this and would probably have known Hadfield.
Wed have walked away from you if it hadnt been the tail end of the season, declared Hadfield Spencer, the Fairview stroke.
The miscreant who made the attempt was a lunatic of the name of Hadfield.
Some wondered why he did not; perhaps Hadfield's influence amongst his tribe supplied the answer.
Preached at Hadfield, five miles from Northampton, but found myself not much strengthened.
Hadfield is known, for example, to have provided plans and designs for the Marine Barracks in Washington.
Hadfield is stricken with a mortal illness, and lies helpless for four years in Wellington.

Thoughts on chronic pelvic pain
Ive had chronic right sided pelvic pain for over a year now. I was told that i have varicosities on my uterus from 5 births. A gastro doctor also suggested that i may have IBS, which i highly doubt is causing the chronic pain. Thoughts on the varicosities and pain?
thank you
10th February 2014 04:01 AM #2
I personally haven't heard about varicosites on the uterus. How was it diagnosed? Has any doctor given you a reason for the chronic pelvic pain? Have you sort advise from alternative practitioners such as a chiropractor or osteopath?

The varicosites of the uterus were found via a "colored ultrasound". I was sent to a GI specialist to rule out any gastro problems. The GI Dr, mentioned I may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. However the pain I have feels more female than GI.
I have not gone to a chiropractor, Id like to find a practitioner that specializes in Mayan Abdominal massage. Im fairly certain that may help me.
Thank you for the response.

We Sit Down with Thomas Schemera and Matt Russell to Discuss the M5/M6 and F8X M3
This past week we had the opportunity to sit down with Thomas Schemera (VP of Sales and Marketing for the BMW M Brand at BMW AG) and Matt Russell (M Brand Manager for the BMW of North America) to talk about the new M5/M6 and to see what kind of insight we might get into the upcoming F80 M3.
Starting with M5/M6 Questions
Bimmerfest: Was there one element or one part of the design of the new M6 that is especially exciting to you?
Thomas Schemera: The whole car. The whole concept. The M6, especially the coupe and convertible from my point of view; top notch. The best, most exclusive product in our M range that is for sure. In terms of aerodynamics, in terms of design, in terms of functionality, in terms of efficiency, in terms of power. This is our car and we are very proud of it.
Bimmerfest: Obviously the 30% increase in fuel economy is great. How have CAFE standards impacted the development of the M6?
Matt Russell: At M, we are less than 3% of the sales overall so it doesn't have a huge impact on CAFE. However, we share the same commitments at M for finding fuel efficiency and recovering energy wherever we can than we do in the entire brand. We are not building electric cars yet at M but we have M auto start/stop, brake energy regen, advanced aerodynamics, lightweight materials. A lot of these were pioneered at M so we use these technologies because the M driver is still a driver who drives to work everyday on the street and he still requires efficiency the same way he requires connectivity through infotainment and telematics.
Bimmerfest: So, that is how you look at efficient dymaics as more about a function to it?
Matt Russell: Yeah, its part of what makes M perfect. Its one more element that makes the M.
Thomas Schemera: We always talk about efficient dynamics but we need to compare our models (M5/M6) with the specific segment. you cannot compare the fuel consumption and carbon emmission of the M6 with a VW, it isn't fair.
Bimmerfest: The six speed manual option is certainly an emotional element of the car even with it being at a disadvantage performance wise with the DCT being able to be more efficient in switching gears; the M5 is confirmed as getting a 6 speed transmission...will the same treatment be coming to the M6?
Matt Russell: Consideration, yes. The M6 customer is a little different and we do not feel as though the demand is as strong from the M6 customer for a manual as is the case with the M5. If this changes, we say that the manual is under evaluation and possibly for the future but we are not launching the car with a manual. If you are a customer and believe this is important to you, start writing letters, tell your dealer to call us and make some noise. If we have sufficient numbers maybe M will send us the car in the future.
Thomas Schemera: We have it on the radar screen but from my point of view technically the DCT is the best of what you can get. But according to your requirements and to the customer requirements we need to stick to it...we take care of it. That's all we can tell you.
Bimmerfest: Is there a heritage behind the painting of the M Ceramic Brake calipers the gold color?
Matt Russell: Quick identification as far as I know.
Thomas Schemera: We discussed this issue many times. Is it gold? Is it yellow? Is it black? Then we decided for gold.
Bimmerfest: Another option question. Will the LED headlights be available on the M5 as well?
Matt Russell: Not immediately.
Bimmerfest: There is about a $16,000 price difference between the M5 and the M6 in the US. Can you give us some insight into the price difference and where that money is going to?
Matt Russell: Speaking for the US market, the M6 is the more rare car so it is going to cost us more money to create a smaller number of cars. Simple economies of scale. And of course CFK roof. While the M6 is usual the identical power train from the M5, it requires it's own tuning and development on the ring and everywhere else we tune it. Summer, winter, two years worth of it.
Thomas Schemera: We are also talking about a different class, completely different segment. It is like the 6 series versus the 5 series.
Bimmerfest: On a personal note, out of the 3 M cars (M5, M6 Coupe, M6 Convertible), which one would you personally want to drive?
Thomas Schemera: Let's talk about my company car. I have an M6 Convertible. I have modified this car a little bit. Black rims, exhaust system. It's a little bit crazy. There is no need to do something like that. I am a little bit crazy and little bit into racing. It is a Convertible and it is really well balanced...50-50.
Matt Russell: Yeah, it's a really tough question. Probably just the M5 sedan...it's spectacular. I have been lucky enough to drive it for a few thousand miles and I've never driven anything quite like it. It would be that or the M6 Coupe probably but I've always been a sedan person. I'm emotionally moved by the M6 Coupe so I can stare at it for a long, long time. It's the one I want to get in and drive but I want to live with the M5 sedan.
Time for Some M3 / M4 Questions
On a quick side note, both Thomas and Matt were quick to want to leave the table when we hit this section of questioning. We are guessing no one wants to be the guy that let's the cat out of the bag on what is coming for the M3 (or possibly M4 for that matter)
Bimmerfest: Are any of the advanced features on the M5/M6 going to trickle down the upcoming M3?
Thomas Schemera: For sure, the Active M Differential. This is of the essence to put the whole power of the car on the track and this is one along with 2 or 3 other things which are not on the current M5 and M6. There are a couple of surprises in the pipeline especially for you guys.
Matt Russell: That will have to be the end of the answer because I am not allowed to speak about that car yet. Only Thomas can talk about that car.
Bimmerfest: So, we should be excited?
Matt Russell: I can say yes to that.
Thomas Schemera: Talking about the weight. The weight is of the essence. We have two components, the power train and the chassis. The chassis must be lighter than before and this is what we have to achieve and what we are going to achieve. So you are going to have a light chassis -- lighter than before. And a very good power train.
Bimmerfest: Can we confirm End of Production for the E92 M3? Still looking at mid summer 2013?
Matt Russell: Yeah. Mid Summer-ish. Right now we are having some supplier caused shortages on the car and it makes people think the car is not available. These shortages will be solved this year and we will have plenty of cars later in the year but right now it feels like we don't have enough cars.
Wrap Up
While we were not able to get more information on the next generation M3, we are pleasantly surprised to hear that there is a supreme focus on lightening the chassis to improve overall performance of the car. This combined with the Active M Differential that is currently in place for the M5/M6 gives us plenty of hope that the next generation M3 will be another step in the right direction for BMW enthusiasts.
Meanwhile, if you are in the market for a high revving TwinPower turbo V8 M5 or M6, you better get your call in to the dealer to lock in your place in line. We hear that demand is similar to the levels experienced with the launch of the 1 Series M Coupe which means it may be a hard car to find when it launches. Dealers can get orders into the system starting on April 23rd. You can take delivery of your M6 Convertible as early as June with the M5 and M6 Coupe arriving later in August. European Delivery begins September 1st.
We hope to have more details on the M5/M6 including some driving reviews in the coming weeks.
I personally can't wait for the new M3 , I want one, after the E90 I had in 2010 any improvement s in weight and power delivery will be welcomed. Torque is one thing the new car needs improving over the out going model, that car needed to many revs to get going IMO.

DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint City of Goleta
Goleta - June 12th, 2014
The Goleta Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint Friday night, June 13, at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 7:00 p.m. and 3:30 a.m.
The deterrent effect of DUI checkpoints is a proven resource in reducing the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol or drug involved crashes. Research shows that crashes involving an impaired driver can be reduced by up to 20 percent when well-publicized DUI checkpoints and proactive DUI patrols are routinely conducted.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), checkpoints have provided the most effective documented results of any of the DUI enforcement strategies, while also yielding considerable cost savings of $6 for every $1 spent. Nearly 90 percent of California drivers approve of DUI checkpoints.
In 2011, 774 people were killed in California and nearly 10,000 people were killed nationwide due to an impaired driver. "Over the course of the past three years, DUI collisions have claimed three lives and resulted in 30 injury crashes harming 38 of our friends and neighbors in the City of Goleta," said Senior Deputy Jeff Farmer.
Recent statistics reveal that 30 percent of drivers in fatal crashes had one or more drugs in their system. A study of active drivers indicated that more tested positive for drugs that may impair driving (14 percent) than did for alcohol (7.3 percent). Of the drugs, marijuana was the most prevalent, at 7.4 percent, which was slightly more than alcohol.
DUI checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests affording the greatest opportunity for achieving drunk and drugged driving deterrence. Locations are chosen with safety considerations for the officers and the public.
Drivers caught driving impaired can expect the impact of a DUI arrest to include jail time, fines, fees, DUI classes, and other expenses which can exceed $10,000, not to mention the embarrassment when friends and family find out.
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to the Goleta Police Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, reminding everyone to 'Report Drunk Driver – Call 9-1-1'.
The City of Goleta contracts with the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office for police services.

Samsung Says It Shipped, Not Sold, 800,000 Smartwatches
Samsung Electronics on Tuesday tried to wave off speculation that its new Galaxy Gear smartwatch is a flop, but it only fueled more questions.
The company said in a statement that it had sold more than 800,000 units of the smartwatch since its launch in early September. However, when contacted, the company clarified that its figure refers to shipments to retailers and carriers, not the amount sold to consumers. So the actual sell-through figure, which Samsung isn't releasing, could be much lower.
The South Korean company, which doesn't break out sales for its mobile devices separately, has a habit of occasionally releasing what it believes is a milestone figure for a particular product. The company has faced criticism before when reporting sales figures. In 2011, Samsung said it had sold 2 million Galaxy Tab devices, but it later said that number referred to shipments.
Analysts said Samsung likely released the numbers on Tuesday to alleviate concerns in the market that sales of the Galaxy Gear have been a disappointment. The announcement came after a publication in Korea reported the company had sold under 50,000 units.
Samsung's announcement "is probably just to show that the shipments have reached close to 1 million," Doh Hyun-woo, an analyst with Mirae Asset Securities said. "Still, the figure only shows us that people are rarely buying this product given that the Galaxy Note [3] smartphones are expected to average 10 million units in sales per quarter."
Samsung declined to comment on whether sales have exceeded or fallen short of internal expectations.
Though smartwatches remain a supplementary device to mobile phones due to the lack of functionality, more companies are jumping into the market with new products, as the category is perceived as the first step to wearable devices.
When the Galaxy Gear was launched in Berlin, the product was met with mixed reviews as some had expected the device to come with fancier hardware and more software features. But technological limitations such as battery life and display flexibility have deterred the product from being introduced as a standalone product.
David Eun, the head of Samsung's Open Innovation Center speaking to Business Insider called the Gear watch a "small green tomato" that will eventually grow into a big red tomato, which will herald big opportunities for Samsung and other companies in the industry. But he humbly added: "I don't know if I'd have bought the first one myself," according to the publication.
Correction & Amplification: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated that Mirae expects Galaxy Note 3 smartphones to average 10 million units in sales per month.

The Spinner Button marks the Spinner: the person in charge of the hand who spins the community dreidels and takes charge of the game. The button also marks the betting order: betting starts to the left of the Spinner. It has a nice satisfying weight and smoothness to it. We really like our button. 2" round.

Why did CNN's Roberts interview Roger Stone, "professional dirty trickster" and founder of C.U.N.T.?
CNN's John Roberts interviewed "Republican political consultant" Roger Stone, who advanced the oft-repeated conservative smear that Sen. Barack Obama would be "dangerous" as president. Although Roberts said Stone is "famous for running some very, very effective negative campaigns over the course of American political history," he didn't mention Stone's recent efforts, such as the anti-Hillary Clinton 527 group Citizens United Not Timid, which emphasized its acronym on its website and on T-shirts.
During the October 13 edition of CNN's American Morning, host John Roberts interviewed Roger Stone, described by Roberts as a "Republican political consultant," who advanced the oft-repeated conservative smear that Sen. Barack Obama would be "dangerous" as president. Although Roberts said Stone is "famous for running some very, very effective negative campaigns over the course of American political history," he gave no indication that Stone established [1] the anti-Hillary Clinton 527 group Citizens United Not Timid, which emphasized its acronym on its website and on T-shirts, or that Stone was forced to resign from the campaign of New York state Sen. Joseph Bruno in August 2007 after "allegations that he left a threatening telephone message at the office of Gov. Eliot Spitzer's father," according to an August 22, 2007, New York Times report [2].
During the interview with Roberts, Stone twice described Barack Obama as "dangerous," a smear that Roberts did not challenge. Many conservatives have described Obama as "dangerous" or the choice to vote for Obama as "dangerous," including self-described former terrorist [3] Walid Shoebat during the September 10 edition [4] of G. Gordon Liddy's radio show, radio host Michael Savage during the September 8 broadcast [5] of his nationally syndicated radio show, and guest host Kevin Fischer during the August 22 edition [6] of The Mark Belling Late Afternoon Show.
As Media Matters for America has [7] repeatedly [8] documented [1], throughout the 2008 presidential campaign, media have devoted attention to Stone, who has been called [9] a "professional dirty trickster and high priest of political hijinks" by the Weekly Standard, and to baseless rumors and smears he has spread about Barack and Michelle Obama. In addition to the October 13 edition of CNN's American Morning:
- During the June 1 edition [7] of Fox News' America's Election HQ, Stone asserted that "there is a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists of public remarks that Michelle Obama allegedly made, which are outrageous at worst -- but at best, but could be termed racist, including some reference to white people as 'whiteys,' allegedly." No such "indelible record" has surfaced, the Obama campaign has stated [10] that "no such tape exists," and Politico reporter Ben Smith noted [11] on June 5 that "there's just zero credible evidence" for the "rumor." Additionally, as the Obama campaign noted, the day after appearing on America's Election HQ, Stone admitted [10] on the June 2 broadcast of Sean Hannity's nationally syndicated radio program that he had "not yet spoken to anyone who has eyeballed the video."
- In a February 24 Associated Press article [12], staff writer Nedra Pickler reported [8] that "[c]onservative consultants" have said that patriotism "could be an issue for Obama in the general election." The article quoted "Republican consultant" Stone saying that Americans will find "offensive" the photo of him "not putting his hand over his heart during the National Anthem." Stone added, "Barack Obama is out of the McGovern wing of the party, and he is part of the blame America first crowd."
From the October 13 edition of CNN's American Morning:
ROBERTS: Roger Stone is a Republican political consultant who has worked with several GOP presidents and supports John McCain. He joins me now from Miami. Roger, it's good to see you. First of all, what do you make of Bill Kristol's statement there on McCain's campaign?
STONE: Well, I think Kristol is right. McCain is better than his campaign. Look, a campaign is about having one driving, compelling, comparative message that wins you votes. It's what George Bush did to John Kerry in the closing days of that campaign, making the case that Kerry wasn't ready to be commander in chief. John McCain's got to go out and make the case as to why he is better than Barack Obama; and it's not about the past, it's about the future.
ROBERTS: So, when you're talking about what we're seeing on the campaign trail in the last week or so -- Sarah Palin talking about Barack Obama "palling around with terrorists," making the link between him and former Weather Underground member William Ayers or talking about Reverend Wright -- is that useful for the McCain campaign? Is it a legitimate form of attack? Is it something that Republican voters will respond to, and also not just Republican voters, but those all-important independents?
STONE: First, the answer is yes. That is what Sarah Palin, who is the other end of this ticket, should be doing. It's the vice-presidential candidates' job to continually jab, and there's no question that, particularly among the base and some swing moderate to conservative independents, that those are telling issues. But this is not about Barack Obama's past association with Bill Ayers or certain Palestinian interests in Chicago, it's really about the future. John McCain has to put real differences between he and his opponent on immigration, on taxes, on national security. Look, Barack Obama wants to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, he wants to give Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants -- it's on his website. Those are driving issues that demonstrate that he would indeed be dangerous as president. That is what McCain has to say, and that's what he has to do.
ROBERTS: You know, something else that Bill Kristol had to say in that same article was "the McCain campaign, once merely problematic, is now close to being out-and-out dysfunctional." He thinks he should junk all the negative advertising, put the money into televised town halls and half-hour addresses in prime times to talk about the issues, talk about McCain policies. Would you agree?
STONE: I do agree. I mean, first of all, the McCain campaign puts out a video for the media that they're not really airing any place as paid advertising, but they're diffuse - they're all over the place. They don't have one central theme. This is very, very simple -- because of his worldview, because of his lack of experience because of his extreme views, Barack Obama is a dangerous choice to be president. The McCain campaign needs to make that case in a comparative way. It's not negative to compare your position, say, on illegal immigrants, with Barack Obama's. That is precisely what McCain should do, and I agree with Kristol -- he should scrap his campaign and go right to the people.
ROBERTS: Of course, Roger, you're famous for running some very, very effective negative campaigns over the course of American political history. Did this idea of painting Barack Obama as dangerous -- you know, what Congressman John Lewis said over the weekend, had some very harsh words for Senator McCain and Governor Palin, saying that he's sowing the seeds of division and hatred -- a reminder of George Wallace's 1972 campaign. He said, quote, "George Wallace never threw a bomb. He never fired a gun, but he created the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights. ... As public figures with the power and influence to persuade ... Senator McCain and Governor Palin are playing with fire, and if they are not careful, that fire will consume us all."
McCain responded: "Congressman Lewis' comments represent a character attack against Governor Sarah Palin and me that's shocking beyond the pale. The notion that legitimate criticism of Senator Obama's record and positions could be compared to George Wallace, his segregationist policies and the violence he provoked is unacceptable and has no place in this campaign." Was Senator McCain -- or were Senator McCain and Governor Palin -- were they over the line in what they were doing, or was John Lewis just misinformed?
STONE: No, absolutely not. First of all, I admire John Lewis as one of the real pioneers of the civil rights movement in this country. I have huge respect for him. In this particular case, I think he's made a huge error to say that John McCain or Sarah Palin countenanced bigotry or prejudice or hatred, is just false. It is not hateful, it is not divisive to compare your positions, your records, your worldview with those of your opponent, in this case Barack Obama. Barack Obama is out of the mainstream -- it is out of the mainstream to give Social Security benefits to illegal immigrants, for example. That is out of the mainstream, and that discussion needs to be had. There's nothing racist or divisive or negative about that. Those are dollars-and-cents issues that are going to affect the future of the country. So, I think John Lewis, who again I have huge respect for, has made a huge mistake here.
ROBERTS: All right. Roger Stone talking to us this morning from Miami. Roger, it's good to see you. We'll see you again, thanks.
STONE: Great to be with you.

Valley Forward's focus today is on sustainability. Its mantra is that a community can be great only if it respects its natural and human resources, and adopts practices that will nourish and preserve them.
Thirty years ago, when Valley Forward directors launched the Environmental Excellence Awards (EEA) program, we didn't talk about sustainability. The word wasn't in our vocabulary. But our motives inevitably led us to the same place.
We believed that a great city required environmental stewardship and first-rate planning, design and architecture in private developments and public places. So, we set out to raise the competitive bar in those fields by recognizing superior work with prestigious awards.
In 1981, the first year of the awards, six, first-place Crescordias were granted, including Scottsdale's visionary Indian Bend Wash flood-control project and the historic preservation of Heritage Square in Downtown Phoenix. This year, 21 Crescordias were handed out, led by the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Audubon Center.
Through the years of EEA, Valley Forward has given out 414 Crescordias and, beginning in 1989, 21 President's Awards. Additionally, many entries have received Awards of Merit in recognition of their special accomplishments.
The program has drawn thousands of entries submitted by every kind of institution and individuals from every walk of life. EEA recognition has rewarded the efforts of architects, urban designers, land planners and developers; landscape architects, homebuilders, homeowners, educators, artists, scientists, engineers, farmers and many others.
Awards have been made to city, county and state entities; manufacturers, retail corporations, hospitals, school districts, libraries, flood control agencies, art and history organizations, office and retail projects, hotels and resorts, golf courses, utility companies, recyclers, fire stations, zoos, a football team, newspapers and magazines, parks, conservation projects and museums.
As varied as they are, the hundreds of EEA winners have one thing in common: all have made an impact on the community. That is what EEA is all about and it is what will make sustainable development a reality.

Hello,I have some books, images and other literature, I wanted to publish on the web with all devices, especially ebooks.Please advice.
Thank you.
You could try a publishing service like lulu.com. They take a cut from the sales, of course but it's still a straightforward service.
You can publish your eBook by the most popular web portal site as amazon and also you can build your personal website to do SEO work and get listed in Google top listing and see how the ROI flows towards u.
Building a personal website isn't what most writers want to do with their time. Most of them want to write, not "do SEO work". Amazon is a good option though. If you're OK with giving them a big cut of the sales...
You can outsource and make someone create a site for you. And then you can outsource your SEO as well. If you have some time to spare, you can do your own seo. SEO is a continuous process so you can do it every single day. This is what I noticed from most who want to sell and publish their ebooks. You can then promote using Google's PPC and other internet marketing processes. Amazon is a choice as well.
You can publish it on the very famous web portals like Amazon. You could try it via any blog sites as well, What you need to do is create your blog for the very first time just by following few steps and then start publishing over there.....
yeah, but do not publish everything in your website, you must at least save something that readers will get if they've got subscription, in that way, you could earn in your writings.
Hello Friends,
My top 3 ways we sell every ebook we release:1. Affiliates - we make sure to setup an affiliate program and seek out top authority site owners in our niche so that when we launch, we hit a market hard to gain momentum and make early sales.2. Blog - blogs just simpley work! If you post each day, know your target market and understand the keywords that visitors will use when looking for information you provide, then blogging will bring you the traffic you need to sell your ebook.3. A sales process that converts visitors into subscribers and subscribers into customers. You can either send people directly to your sales site and then try and grab those that don't buy into your list (via an exit pop-up as an example) or you can drive traffic to a landing page designed entirely to sign up subscribers and then expose them to your main sales page via your email campaign. Either way can work, just make sure you do have a process for capturing visitors, turning them into subscribers and continuing to convert them to buyers.
Thanks and Regards,Agili Ron
I have the same question but the answer was founded at the link http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-18438_7-20010547-82/how-to-self-publish-an-ebook/.
Please read this article it is very helpful for me. I think it is also helpful for you.
I'm in the same situation. Lulu.com ( seen here ) now is a to do thing. You should also make your own site. You will look more profession like this. Also what "bloggerCW" mentioned ... that is a good article.
Create free website and upload it.

WATERBURY, VT -- Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is putting the final touches on Keurig 2.0, a next-generation single-cup brewer with "interactive readability" that won't work with copycat pods.
The move is in response to the slew of non-licensed K-Cups that have entered the market since Green Mountain's patents for the portion pack technology expired in 2012. Some competitive products offer price points as much as 25% lower than official K-Cups.
During a conference call with financial analysts on Nov. 20, Green Mountain chief Brian Kelley said Keurig 2.0 will be equipped to interact digitally with licensed K-Cups, making it incompatible with unlicensed products. He also said Green Mountain is "in discussions with a large number of unlicensed players to welcome them into the system."
Kelley reported that the new brewers and cups would "fundamentally improve and transform the Keurig brewing system," giving the 16 million consumers who have bought the Keurig 1.0 system during the past two years reason to switch over.
Unlicensed Keurig-compatible packs had already grabbed 8% of the Keurig platform, Kelley told financial analysts, and he anticipated that number to hit 12% by the end of Green Mountain's just-completed fiscal fourth quarter.
"We expect unlicensed share of the system to continue to grow through the first half of fiscal year 2014, and then begin to decline in the second half and thereafter," Kelley projected.
The Green Mountain chief said that Keurig 2.0 will replace the company's current lineup of both K-Cup and Vue brewers within about a year of its 2014 launch.

text: Chiseled in stone above the doors to the main building of a premier university are these words: "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free." What might this statement mean to the thousands of daily passersby? Is it a call toward worthwhile academic pursuits, an inspirational goal, or just a sentiment to live by? Or would passersby know that these were Jesus' words, as he spoke promises to those who believed in him and continued in his word (John 8:32)? Chiseled in the cornerstone of Blanchard Hall, Wheaton's main building, are the words "For Christ and His Kingdom." Passersby who know something about Wheaton likely recognize this as the expression of the College's ongoing mission, vision, and identity. Every Wheaton magazine demonstrates this commitment to the integration of faith and learning. In this issue is an article (p. 6) about an on-campus exhibit displaying original letters written by Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), the noted philosopher-theologian and prominent figure of the Great Awakening.1 Edwards had a brilliant mind, entering Yale in 1716 when he was not yet thirteen and graduating four years later as valedictorian. For a short while before his death, he was president of Princeton University. "Truth, in the general," he wrote, "may be defined after the most strict and metaphysical manner: 'the consistency and agreement of our ideas with the ideas of God.'"2 Moving from the topic of truth in the 18th century to that in the 21st, read a Chapel address by Wheaton alumnus Todd Komarnicki '87, an acclaimed novelist, producer, and director of film and television (pp. 58-59): Remember [God's] promises. They've outlived every generation and they still clap out like thunder with their truth. . . . If we dare to believe Romans 8:28, "All things lead together for good to those that love God"; 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear"; and Romans 8:31, "If God is for us, who can be against us?—then we are free. Passersby might look at what has been revealed yet not see it—or even reject it. "What is truth?" Pilate asked when Truth incarnate stood before him. Judging and dismissing Jesus, he passed him by, in the end choosing bondage over freedom. Whether emblazoned across the façade of a building or etched into our hearts and minds, ultimate truth cannot be known apart from the Lord Jesus Christ, through the work of the Spirit and the Word in our lives. Trusting in his promises frees us to serve. And serving Christ and his kingdom is not for mere passersby. Georgia I. Douglass '70, M.A. '94 Editor 1Editor's note: Find information on Jonathan Edwards' thought and ministry in the several books written or coedited by Wheaton alumnus Douglas A. Sweeney '87, chair and professor of church history and the history of Christian thought, and director of the Jonathan Edwards Center, at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Forthcoming from Oxford University Press is another of his books that deals with Edwards' view of the relationship between reason and revelation: Edwards the Exegete: Biblical Interpretation and Anglo-Protestant Culture on the Edge of the Enlightenment. 2Jonathan Edwards, "The Mind," in The Works of Jonathan Edwards, vol. 6, Scientific and Philosophical Writings, ed.

Health informatics expert to lead new research center
Dr. Rita Snyder, an expert in health informatics, has been appointed as a Center of Economic Excellence (CoEE) Endowed Chair in Health Informatics Quality and Safety Evaluation at the University of South Carolina.
Rita Snyder
Snyder, Ph.D., RN, joins the CoEE program to help make South Carolina a leader in the integration of health information technology and simulation to advance the education of the state's future health care clinicians.
"This state has become a national model in terms of its emphasis on health care quality, safety and interdisciplinary research."
Health informatics involves the use of computerized information technology to gather and manage health care information, a practice that South Carolina health care settings are rapidly adopting to improve health care safety and quality.
The integration of information technology into South Carolina's state-of-the-art simulation centers will provide a rich and low-risk educational environment for future clinicians to learn how to apply clinical information to complex health care procedures, such as medication administration and central line management.
This educational approach will better prepare clinicians to engage in practices that contribute to patient care quality and safety goals.
"Dr. Snyder's ability to link education outcomes in the simulation laboratory with hospital-based training for licensed healthcare personnel will advance this research for South Carolina," says Dr. Harris Pastides, president of the University of South Carolina. "If new health care training methods are developed in South Carolina, the state is more likely to attract companies working in this sector and create high-paying jobs."

conceiving in your 30s
Many consider that 30's the happy medium age for pregnancy. More secure in career and relationship.. but do you believe that there's a tremendous difference between your ability to get pregnant in your early versus your late 30's.?
24th June 2014 06:52 AM #2
Dear redempta,
This is an important and interesting question - thank you for posting it.
Yes extensive research now shows that a woman's fertility does decrease with age in her 30s and particularly significantly from age 35 onwards.
At 30 years of age the probability of getting pregnant in a year of trying is around 65% at age 39 this figure drops to around 40%. Different studies vary in these values but they all agree that there is a significant drop in fertility levels throughout a womans 30s with the most dramatic drop beginning at age 35. This is largely because the quantity of a woman's eggs decreases with age.
At age 30 the miscarriage rate is approximately 12% and at age 39 it is sadly approximately 38%. This is because the quality of a woman's eggs decrease with age. This is why certain syndromes such as Down Syndrome are also more likely in the late 30s compared to early 30s.
It is important for women to be aware of the implications of waiting longer to conceive. Yes they may be more secure financially/ more established in certain areas of life but they may take longer to conceive then they want or find they have fertility problems.
With warm wishes,

I am having the same internal discussion, it is a difficult balance to strike!

Watching a pot boil
I'll be there. You should be there, too.
So while I download the Fedora 15 Alpha and stare out the window, I'm reminded of the adage that a watched pot never boils, or something along those lines. A watched download never loads, too, so it would probably be a good time to catch up.
What's in a name? It's about that time again. Where Ubunteros have no say in what their release name is — Mark Shuttleworth seems to get that distinction, and with more money than God and a trip into space, that by itself would give him more rights than simple Ubuntu naming — The Mark handed down the latest $ADJECTIVE_PLUS_ANIMAL=SAME_FIRST_LETTER for Ubuntu 11.11. The winner of the "O" derby is Oneiric Ocelot. Oneiric — look it up.
Meanwhile, on the Fedora side of things, the nominations are open for the release name for Fedora 16 (that's the one that comes out in November). There are several good choices nominated — my personal favorites are Neuromancer and McLuhan (it's Marshall McLuhan's centennial this year, and McLuhan coined the term "the global village;" for those of you under 50, you're going to have to Google his name) — but a choice that's gaining traction, thanks to what I consider to be blatant bribery (just kidding, Max), is Beefy Miracle. Long story there, but if you want a look at the nominees, you can find them here.
But vote for McLuhan when the time comes.
Wishing and hoping: Speaking of pre-release goodness, GNOME 3 is available for those who wish to give it a test drive, and I downloaded it last night and put it through its paces for a couple of hours. Granted, it was on a USB stick and on a ThinkPad T30 and, as they say in the car ads, your mileage may vary, but it appeared unwieldy at first, despite the fact it's "made of easy." As I said at the beginning of this item, I'm downloading the F15 Alpha, so I'll have a better chance at getting a handle on this, but I really, really want to like this version. But so far, I've had a lukewarm experience with it. Unlike other bloggers — one in particular in Europe — who reviewed the desktop before it was out (akin to saying how good cake will taste by only trying the batter), I'm going to reserve judgment until I've had a chance to "floor it," as it were, on the digital autobahn. Until then, I have my fingers crossed.
Thirty-one more minutes until the download finishes. Time for some more coffee.

Online Banking System Security
In Internet banking, as with traditional banking methods, security is a primary concern. At First National Bank Syracuse-Johnson we have taken every precaution necessary to be sure your information is transmitted safely and securely. The latest methods in Internet banking system security are used to increase and monitor the integrity and security of the system.
The security of the First National Bank Syracuse-Johnson Internet banking application is addressed at three levels. The first concern is the security of customer information as it is sent from the customer's PC to the Web server. The second area concerns the security of the environment in which the Internet banking server and customer information database reside. Finally, security measures are in place to prevent unauthorized users from attempting to log into the online banking section of the Web site.
Data security between the customer browser and our Web server is handled through a security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL provides data encryption, server authentication, and message integrity for an Internet connection. In addition, SSL provides a security "handshake" that is used to initiate the connection. This handshake results in the client and server agreeing on the level of security they will use and fulfills any authentication requirements for the connection. Currently First National Bank Syracuse-Johnson's online banking application supports data encryption at the highest level (128 bit). In order to get this level of encryption, you will need a browser that supports it. Both versions 3 and 4 of the most popular browsers support 40-bit encryption as a default, and have complete versions as well as patches that will support the stronger 128-bit encryption. Check with your browser manufacturer's website for more information.
Requests for online banking information are passed on from the Web server to the Internet banking server. The Internet banking application is designed using a three-tiered architecture. The three-tiered architecture provides a double firewall, completely isolating the Web server from the customer information SQL database.
The World Wide Web interface receives SSL input and sends requests through a firewall over a dedicated private network to the Internet banking server. The World Wide Web interface is the only process capable of communicating through the firewall to the Internet banking server. Therefore, only authenticated requests communicate with the Internet banking server.
The customer information database is housed on a Microsoft SQL Server, which implements Microsoft NT security in addition to the firewall technology. The customer database is stored on a RAID-5 drive array, which provides uninterruptible data access, even in the event of a hard drive failure. Just as the World Wide Web interface is the only process capable of communicating with the Internet banking server, the Internet banking server is the only process able to send requests to the SQL database. Thus, the outside world is removed from the customer database by two dedicated private networks.
A security analyzer constantly monitors login attempts and recognizes failures that could indicate a possible unauthorized attempt to log into an account. When such trends are observed, steps will be taken automatically to prevent that account from being used.
Security concerns have been addressed from every angle within the architecture of the Internet banking application. Implementation of the SSL security protocol on the Web server and customer browser ensures authenticated data has been received from the customer. The three-tiered approach of the Internet banking application creates a double firewall that performs information requests over dedicated networks designed to handle specific functions. Placing all business logic and event logging within the Internet banking server creates a controlled environment that allows quick incorporation of Internet security technologies as they evolve. Finally, the security analyzer monitors login attempts in order to prevent unauthorized logins.
