Sprinkel, editors DEAD HORSE POINT STATE PARK AND VICINITY GEOLOGIC ROAD LOGS, GRAND AND SAN JUAN COUNTIES, UTAH Hellmut H. Doelling and Thomas C. Chidsey, Jr. Utah Geological Survey Salt Lake City, Utah INTRODUCTION Dead Horse Point State Park is in the heart of the Canyonlands region of Utah between Canyonlands and Arches National Parks (figure 1). The views are spectacular, sublime, awe-inspiring, and majestic, and would be hard to surpass anywhere. The mood of the vistas changes by season and time of day. One of nature's engineers, in this instance the Colorado River, has carved and exposed strata of Late Pennsylvanian to Early Jurassic age (figure 2). These strata have a cumulative thickness of 2,700 to 3,600 feet, depending upon which direction you look (figure 3). Past structural events have locally folded and fractured these rocks in a manner that favored the deposition or accumulation of economic natural resource deposits. The signs of human activity to extract these deposits are apparent as one approaches the park or looks from the canyon edge. Since the preeminent attraction of Dead Horse Point State Park is its viewpoints, most of the unique sites associated with the park are not within its boundaries. Therefore, we have assembled three road logs to allow visitors an opportunity to observe and understand the most complete geologic picture possible of this incredible area. 1. Shafer Trail-Long Canyon road log miles. 2. Dead Horse Point road log miles. 3. Potash highway road log miles. Total miles logged = 68.4 miles. 1

5 P.B. Anderson and D.A. Sprinkel, editors 2000 Utah Geological Association Publication 29 SHAFER TRAIL-LONG CANYON ROAD LOG This road log is partly along paved roads, but mostly on reasonably good gravel roads. Gravel roads may be locally washboarded, and, after wet weather, may be in poor condition. With caution, they are usually passable in a passenger car if the driver has experience on back-country roads and certainly, with a high-clearance vehicle. The dugway in Long Canyon may require a four-wheel drive in the direction the road log is written (it could be negotiated downhill in a car). The roads pass close to unprotected cliffs. Part of the log is in Grand County, part is in San Juan County. Running the full road log will generally take two-and-one-half hours and covers a distance of a little over 36 miles, and is a loop returning to the beginning location (figure 4). If the traveler wishes to take pictures and examine outcrops, this trip can take half a day or more. Carry sufficient water and gasoline for the trip. This log commences at the junction of Utah State Road 313 and the Canyonlands Parkway (Island-In- The-Sky Highway), drops from the high bench to the Colorado River level via the Shafer Trail, and climbs back up Long Canyon, a vertical distance of about 2,100 feet. MILEAGE INTERVAL/CUMULATIVE DESCRIPTION BEGIN AT JUNCTION SR 313 AND THE CANYONLANDS PARKWAY AT BIG FLAT (figure 4). ELEVATION ABOUT 6,050 FEET. PROCEED SOUTHERLY ON THE CANYONLANDS PARKWAY. Highway is on a Quaternary mixed eolian and alluvial deposit. These deposits rest on Navajo remnants and the Kayenta Formation. The development of a caliche zone in the mixed eolian and alluvial deposit is pronounced, indicating the surface and deposit are old. The Big Flat oil field (now abandoned) was to the left of the highway (figure 5). Big Flat had the first commercial production in the area and produced over 92,000 barrels of oil and 50 million cubic feet of gas from vertically fractured crystalline limestone and dolomite in an anticlinal closure of the Leadville Limestone (Smith, 1978a; Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining, 2000). The average American uses 26 barrels of oil and 86,000 cubic feet of gas per year (Richard D. Fritz, American Association of Petroleum Geologists, verbal communication, 2000). On the skyline the La Sal Mountains are at 9 o'clock and the Abajo Mountains are at 11 o'clock. These are laccolithic mountains that were intruded into the rocks of the plateau during late Oligocene time Henry Mountains are visible on the skyline on the right (west). These are also laccolithic mountains. The La Sal Mountains, to the east above the Cane Creek anticline, are a classic example of a laccolith. They are a complex of granitic (diorite porphyry) rocks intruded into a salt wall about 25.1 to 27.9 million years ago during the Oligocene (Nelson and others, 1992; Doelling, this volume). These peaks are more than 12,000 feet above sea level and were glaciated during the Pleistocene ice ages (Hintze, 1993). 5

Chidsey, Jr. Dead Horse Point State Park and Vicinity Geologic Road Logs, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah Road proceeds along Kayenta Formation and Navajo Sandstone contact visible to the right RIM ROAD. Put blinders on driver and passengers enjoy the view to the left STOP NO. 1. CANYON OVERLOOK. ELEVATION ABOUT 5,750 FEET. Park the vehicle to the left at the point and become acquainted with the stratigraphy. To the west across the road is the orange to light-brown, massive Lower Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. Below it is the soft upper unit of the Kayenta Formation. This stop is at the top of the cliff-forming Kayenta Formation, which is a fluvial thick-bedded to massive sandstone. The vertical orange-brown cliff beneath it, which is slightly banded and a bit darker than the Navajo Sandstone, is the Wingate Sandstone. The Navajo, Kayenta, and Wingate are sometimes mapped together as the Glen Canyon Group. Below this cliff is the reddish slope of the Church Rock Member of the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation. Below the reddish slope is the Black Ledge of the Chinle Formation followed by a green-gray slope of the lower Chinle Formation. The base of the Chinle is a white quartzose ledge. Beneath this white quartzose ledge is the Lower Triassic Moenkopi Formation. It is mostly a thin- to medium-bedded chocolate-brown fine-grained sandstone and siltstone unit. Follow the trail or road to the junction below. At the junction the roads are on a jointed, light-hued sandstone unit. This is the Permian White Rim Sandstone. Beneath the White Rim is the red-brown Cutler Formation, also of Permian age. AFTER THE STOP, CONTINUE ON THE RIM ROAD SOUTHWARD IN THE KAYENTA FORMATION View of Shafer Trail going down on left side of road (figure 6). Figure 6.

From this point the road descends, beginning in the Kayenta Formation SWITCHBACK # SWITCHBACK # Road descends into the Wingate Sandstone SWITCHBACK #3. Note the banding and cross-bedding in the Wingate Sandstone. Also exhibited are a small number of stonepecker holes (tafoni). Also note the desert varnish on the Kayenta and Wingate (black surfaces) SWITCHBACK #4. Look down the vertical wall of the Wingate Sandstone SWITCHBACK # Cross into the Church Rock Member of the Chinle Formation. Note the abundance of rockfall and slumps in the Chinle Formation The road veers left and is nearly level with the Black Ledge of the Chinle Formation ahead THE ROAD TURNS SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. To the left notice cut-andfill channeling of the Black Ledge into the lower member of the Chinle Formation. Note the contorted beds in the lower Chinle just beneath the Black Ledge contact. Locally the lower Chinle exhibits a mottled character indicating an ancient soil (paleosol) Road reaches the basal cliff-forming unit of the Chinle Formation. The base of this unit is locally radioactive and was a target for uranium prospectors during the 1950s. Scattered occurrences of uranium were found all around the Islandin-the-Sky bench, but the total amount of production was small. The Shafer Trail and Dead Horse Point area lie within the Inter-River uranium area. Uranium deposits were found in three small mines north of the Shafer Trail immediately around the park (figure 5): the Big Chief, Gray Fault, and Discovery mines. All three mines are abandoned. Uranium production was from the Chinle Formation (Chenoweth, 1996). The uranium-bearing minerals were found in the bases of carbonaceous sandstone and conglomerate lenses deposited in channels scoured into the top of the Moenkopi Formation (Doelling and others, 1994; Chenoweth, 1996). The principal ore mineral produced was uraninite (a mixture of uranium oxides). Secondary minerals included uraniumbearing schrockingerite, autunite, and possibly carnotite; and copper-bearing 9
10 H.H. Doelling and T.C. Chidsey, Jr. Dead Horse Point State Park and Vicinity Geologic Road Logs, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah chalcocite, malachite, chalcopyrite, and azurite (Utah Geological and Mineral Survey, 1974). These minerals coat fractures, bedding planes, and ore-body contacts (Doelling and others, 1994). Alteration by mineralization is indicated where the reddish-purple sandstone has been bleached to greenish-gray (Chenoweth, 1996). These three mines around the park consisted of small adits (from less than 100 feet to as long as 800 feet in length) and several dog holes. Mineralized zones were between 2 and 8 feet thick. Total production from the three mines was only 1,830 pounds of U 3 O 8 (Utah Geological and Mineral Survey, 1974; Doelling and others, 1994). Little evidence of this activity is visible from the trail Chinle-Moenkopi contact. The Moenkopi Formation is chocolate brown and irregularly bedded to thin bedded (mudflat deposit). Look for ripple marks, which are a trademark of this formation. The Moenkopi has several members and this upper slope-forming unit is known as the Sewemup Member (sew-emup) Ali Baba Member is now at road level and is ledgy to cliffy. Beneath is the Tenderfoot Member JUNCTION OF THE SHAFER TRAIL AND WHITE RIM TRAIL. ELEVATION ABOUT 4,460 FEET. The White Rim trail or road continues straight ahead. TURN LEFT. The road log continues on the Shafer Trail and road that extends to the left to Potash and Moab. Stop and look at the base of the Moenkopi Formation. There is a lower ledge- and slope-forming unit that is more red than chocolate brown. This is the Hoskinnini Member. It has a very flat top above which is the slightly ledgy slope of the chocolate-brown Tenderfoot Member. The road drops onto the Permian White Rim Sandstone and through it after negotiating the turn. There are frozen dunes at the top of the White Rim above planar beds. The White Rim formed as nearshore wind and beach deposits and is thin at this location, about 25 to 30 feet thick. It is a fine- to medium-grained sandstone. Beneath is the red-brown Cutler Formation, also of Permian age. A rustic restroom is present at this location Road drops into the upper part of the Cutler Formation. To the south this upper part becomes the Organ Rock Shale; here the formation is generally not subdivided At 1 o'clock are windows eroded into the Cutler beds below the capping White Rim mushrooms SWITCHBACK. The Cutler cliffs here grade southwesterly into the Cedar Mesa Sandstone. The upper softer Cutler becomes the Organ Rock Shale. Cross South Fork Wash after the switchback. The road subparallels South Fork for a short distance rustic restroom on the left. Road drops back into SOUTH FORK WASH. 10
11 P.B. Anderson and D.A. Sprinkel, editors 2000 Utah Geological Association Publication IN SOUTH FORK DRAINAGE. Stonepecker holes (tafoni) are present in windblown beds of the Cutler Formation. Watch out for flash floods! Note the mudfalls on the right oozing down from mudstone partings. How do you think these formed? Bench gravels cap the Cutler Formation at this location. Also, parallel jointing is nicely displayed in the Cutler Road reaches SHAFER WASH. The purple to maroon rocks are arkosic. At this point we LEAVE CANYONLANDS NATIONAL PARK To the right is the dry falls drop off of Shafer Wash. Note the vertical joints at the top of the falls that are supported by the upper limestone bed of the lower Cutler Formation (Rico Formation). This limestone bed is the upper unit of the former Rico and Elephant Canyon Formations The road drops onto the limestone at the top of the Rico. More stonepecker holes are present to the left. At about 11 o'clock, looking up, in the first reentrant to the left, is a view of Dead Horse Point. Note the alcove at the base of the Wingate Sandstone Look right into the Colorado River. To the left is Dead Horse Point. The road begins ascending the north flank of the Shafer anticline STOP NO. 2. SHAFER ANTICLINE OVERLOOK. The road is on top of the former Rico Formation or lower member of the Cutler Formation. The Gooseneck of the Colorado River is to the south. The Shafer anticline was the target of early petroleum exploration in the Cane Creek and Alkali Gulch Members of the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation. The abandoned Shafer Canyon oil field is the closest field to Dead Horse State Park (figure 5). It consisted of two wells north of the Shafer Trail, one in the East Fork of Shafer Canyon north of the stop and the other in the canyon just east of the park visitors center. Unlike the other fields in the area, Shafer Canyon produced oil from a generally northwest-trending syncline that separates the Cane Creek and Shafer anticlines. The wells were abandoned in 1967, having produced only about 68,000 barrels of oil and 64 million cubic feet of gas from the Cane Creek shale zone (Stowe, 1972; Smith, 1978b). During the middle to late Cenozoic, the ancestral Colorado River and its tributaries flowed through meandering channels in wide valleys on easily eroded rocks such as the now-removed Cretaceous Mancos Shale. Once these river channels were established, they later became superimposed and entrenched into buried structures, such as the Cane Creek and Shafer anticlines, and into resistant rocks such as the Wingate and Navajo Sandstones. The deeply entrenched 11

View of the Gooseneck of the Colorado River from Dead Horse Point. Utah Division of Parks and Recreation photo. Gooseneck of the Colorado (figures 2, 4, and 7) is a classic example of this geomorphologic process. The river level is about 1,900 feet below the elevation of the pavilion at Dead Horse Point overlook. After flowing a distance of about 4 river miles around The Gooseneck, the river has proceeded less than 0.3 direct miles! CONTINUE EASTERLY ON ROAD AFTER STOP Red sand dunes on the right and DEAD HORSE POINT on the left above the alcove CROSS WASH Look right into a gulch for a view of the COLORADO RIVER. Look east into the core of Shafer anticline The road generally parallels the Cutler-Rico contact. The Rico limestone is exposed to the right JUNCTION, TURN RIGHT OFF THE SHAFER TRAIL JUNCTION, KEEP LEFT. After reaching the edge of the cliff, keep left to the prominence extending farthest to the south STOP NO. 3. CREST OF SHAFER ANTICLINE. ELEVATION ABOUT 4,200 FEET. This overlook is into the canyon of the Colorado River. The lighter colored rocks just above river level are the Pennsylvanian Honaker Trail 12
13 P.B. Anderson and D.A. Sprinkel, editors 2000 Utah Geological Association Publication 29 Formation. The red-brown sandstone rocks making up most of the cliff wall and ending at the level of the overlook are the lower member of the Cutler Formation, formerly known as the Rico Formation or Elephant Canyon Formation. The upper Honaker Trail Formation is dated as Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian) in age based on a distinctive fusulinid coquina. The Pennsylvanian and Permian contact at the top of the Honaker Trail is a paraconformity. The lower member of the Cutler Formation consists of interbedded arkosic sandstone, quartzose to subarkosic sandstone, micaceous siltstone, and limestone. The number and thickness of limestone beds increases southwestward. The member is about 200 to 300 feet thick. The upper member of the Cutler Formation, as exposed to the north of the viewpoint, consists of arkosic and conglomeratic sandstone, quartzose to subarkosic sandstone, and lesser amounts of siltstone and sandy mudstone. It also includes a few very thin limestone units. This member is about 700 feet thick. The axis of the Shafer anticline (sometimes referred to as Shafer dome) curves essentially around Dead Horse Point, trending northwest to the west, east-west to the south, and northeast to the east of the point (figure 2). Beds dip 5 to 10 degrees from the crest. A series of minor, high-angle extension faults generally parallel the northwest-trending axis along the southwest limb (figure 2). The Shafer anticline most likely developed from salt bulging in the Paradox Formation, combined with movement on deep, older faults. AFTER STOP RETURN TO MAIN ROAD (SHAFER TRAIL) EXTENDING EASTWARD TURN RIGHT BACK ON THE SHAFER TRAIL. Road parallels the steep north flank of the Shafer anticline at the contact between the upper and lower members of the Cutler Formation Dip on the anticline at this place is about 25 degrees northward and is about the maximum dip on the anticline Gravels on the left on bedrock represent alluvial debris-flow materials CROSS WASH. Note the bench gravels The Shafer anticline whaleback dies out to the east on the right. On the left are outcrops of the Cutler Formation, then ascending up the whole stratigraphic sequence up to the Kayenta Formation on top of Grays Pasture, the level of Dead Horse Point Road extending north (to the left) is to an abandoned oil well. CONTINUE ON MAIN ROAD. 13
14 H.H. Doelling and T.C. Chidsey, Jr. Dead Horse Point State Park and Vicinity Geologic Road Logs, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah Road extending south to the right is to a Colorado River viewpoint. CONTINUE STRAIGHT AHEAD Water catchment and spring area to the left Pyramid Butte on the right which is composed of Cutler Formation capped with the Moenkopi Formation ARRIVE AT EVAPORATION POND AREAS In Cutler Formation exhibiting stonepecker holes (tafoni). A picturesque prominence of the Wingate Sandstone is in view to the left STOP NO. 4. EVAPORATION PONDS AND STRATIGRAPHY REVIEW. ELEVATION ABOUT 4,330 FEET. This area is underlain by the Paradox Formation, which is salt-bearing. Seventeen of the twenty-nine depositional cycles in the Paradox Formation contain halite (common salt) and potash salts (used for fertilizer, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other products) (Doelling and others, 1994). The most common of the potash minerals are carnallite and sylvite (Ritzma, 1969). The sylvite is less abundant, but it is the primary commercial mineral composed of 52.4 percent potassium and 47.6 percent chlorine. Mining of these resources began in 1961 with the construction of a 2,789-foot shaft and an incline which extended to a potash-rich zone. In 1964, Texas Gulf Sulfur Inc. (now Moab Salt LLC) began under ground room-andpillar mining of potash from the Paradox Formation cycle number 5 along the Cane Creek anticline at depths between 2,500 and 3,000 feet. From 1965 to 1970 nearly 150 miles of underground workings were driven at the top of the anticline. Problems arising from mining the intensely folded and faulted salt beds, salt movement, pockets of natural gas, and mine-roof maintenance made it uneconomical to mine by underground methods (Phillips, 1975). Also, the temperature of mine workings was in the middle 90-degree range. Eighteen miners were killed in a gas explosion while constructing lateral shafts (Huntoon, 1986). In 1970, the operations were converted to solution mining. Colorado River water is now pumped through injection wells into the old mine workings to dissolve the potash and salt (figure 8). The resulting brine is pumped out and piped to the solar evaporation ponds where the minerals are eventually harvested (figure 5). It takes two years of evaporation to make the potash. Evaporation proceeds to the point where halite drops out and the remaining potash-enriched brines are successively drained into lower ponds. A blue dye is added to some of the ponds to enhance evaporation. There are 23 ponds, 2 to 3 feet deep, in four areas covering a total of 400 acres. The potash and salt are harvested once a year per pond and are pumped as a slurry north to the processing facility where the salt is separated from the potash by flotation (Eric York, Moab Salt LLC, verbal communication, 2000). If the product cannot be harvested within two years the operation becomes uneconomical. Potash production is roughly 60,000 tons annually (Eric York, verbal communication, 2000). For the past ten years, about 200,000 tons of halite has been produced annually as a by-product. 14

Schematic cross section showing solution mining process on the Cane Creek anticline where salt and potash in sylvite number 5 depositional cycle of the Paradox Formation are dissolved by injecting river water. The resulting brine is withdrawn by an extraction well and pumped to the solar evaporation ponds where the minerals are harvested. Turn around and look at the cliffs above and review the stratigraphy. All formations and members from the Cutler Formation up to the Kayenta Formation are visible (figure 9). The White Rim, however, is not present at the top of the Cutler at this location, having pinched out in the vicinity of the Shafer anticline. See how many of the units you can identify in this area of layer-cake geology. The ponds are in the Cutler Formation, a ledgy and cliffy unit of red-brown arkosic and subarkosic sandstones. The chocolate-brown Lower Triassic Moenkopi Formation overlies it. It can be divided into a lower ledgy Hoskinnini Member 60 to 80 feet thick, a slope-forming Tenderfoot Member 100 to 160 feet thick, a ledge-forming Ali Baba Member 60 to 100 feet thick, and an upper slope-forming Sewemup Member 60 to 120 feet thick. The contact with the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation is generally sharp, but is sometimes poorly exposed because of covering debris. The Chinle consists of a lower green-gray slope-former, a cliffy middle (sometimes called the Black Ledge), and an upper red slope-former. The three members of the Chinle Formation are highly variable in thickness, but the formation itself ranges from 320 to 400 feet. The vertical cliff above the Chinle Formation is the Lower Jurassic Wingate Sandstone (figure 9). Its composition is nearly uniform, top to bottom. It is commonly streaked and stained with desert varnish. At this location it is 300 to 400 feet thick. The ledgy and less uniform rocks at the top are the Kayenta Formation, which is only partially exposed here, forming the upper surface of the upper bench. After the stop continue on the Shafer Trail Road drops below level of evaporation ponds in Cutler Formation rocks SWITCHBACK. 15

ELEVATION ABOUT 4,100 FEET. The stop is on the top of the Honaker Trail Formation. There is also a view of the Colorado River below, which cuts across the axis of the Cane Creek anticline at this place. The upper 240 feet of the Honaker Trail Formation crops out here as yellow-gray to gray ledgy cliffs. It consists of interbedded sandstone, limestone, and siltstone. Some of the limestones are fossiliferous containing crinoid debris, brachiopods, bryozoa, corals, gastropods and rare trilobites. Fusulinids are locally common and date the uppermost part of the formation as Virgilian or uppermost Pennsylvanian. These rocks are the oldest exposed in the area. The northwest-trending Cane Creek anticline is the largest structural feature in the area (figure 2). Beds dip gently 5 to 8 degrees in both directions away from the crest. A series of minor, high-angle extension faults parallel the axis of the anticline along the northeast limb. The Cane Creek anticline likely developed from a combination of salt bulging and renewed movement on deep, older structures. Drilling for oil on the Cane Creek anticline began in 1924 using a cable-tool rig (figure 10). This rig was floated 20 miles down the Colorado River, a practice which continued into the 1950s (Smith, 1978c). The No. 1 Shafer wildcat well (section 31, T. 26 S., R. 21 E., Salt Lake Base Line and Meridian) blew out and Figure 10. The Midwest Exploration and Utah Southern No. 1 Shafer wildcat well, section 31, T. 26 S., R. 21 E., Salt Lake Base Line and Meridian, Grand County, drilled in 1924; view down river to the southwest (Pyramid Butte in the far distance, upper left).

Chidsey, Jr. Dead Horse Point State Park and Vicinity Geologic Road Logs, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah caught fire after reaching a depth of 2,028 feet in the Paradox salt (Smith, 1978c). Five more wells were drilled between 1928 and shows of hydrocarbons were encountered in the Cane Creek shale zone of the Paradox Formation and the Mississippian Leadville Limestone. However, only 1,887 barrels of oil and 25 million cubic feet of gas were produced from the Cane Creek shale (Stowe, 1972). All that remains of these activities are several iron standpipes (dry hole markers). In 1960, lands on the crest of the Cane Creek anticline were withdrawn from oil and gas leasing to prevent interference with potash mining (Smith, 1978c). AFTER THE STOP RETURN TO THE SHAFER TRAIL, NOW EXTENDING TO THE NORTH JUNCTION, TURN RIGHT (NORTH) ON SHAFER TRAIL Road drops off whaleback of the Cane Creek structure. Road extending to the right is to a loading or landing dock for the Colorado River runners. Pavement -- hoorah!

ROAD LOG FOLLOWS HIGHWAY 279. The road is still on the Cutler Formation. On the east side of the Colorado River opposite Potash is the Jackson Hole rincon, which was once an entrenched meander gooseneck of the Colorado River (figure 4). Several thousand years ago the river cut through a wall of Cutler Formation sandstone and arkose, and shortened its length by about 2.5 miles. It is not known how high the Cutler wall was, but a butte representing the old peninsula now stands high and dry, surrounded by the now-abandoned channel. The top of the butte towers 600 to 800 feet above the old channel The road ascends stratigraphically into the Moenkopi Formation. Note the landslide material to the left.

Chidsey, Jr. Dead Horse Point State Park and Vicinity Geologic Road Logs, Grand and San Juan Counties, Utah the Kings Bottom syncline, which parallels the Cane Creek structure. The strata rise again onto the Moab anticline beyond the Colorado River. This limb of the Kings Bottom syncline exposes outcrops of highly jointed Navajo Sandstone, which display fins, monuments, frozen sand dunes, and other striking features in an area known as Behind the Rocks. Make a stop here and look back down Long Canyon (figure 11). See if you can identify all the Moenkopi Members.

(The Hosting News) – For the whole of last week, and up until this Monday, unknown hackers had knocked of New York City government's email system. The attack was pretty ferocious, according to a City Hall source, who said that the "universal£ denial of service attack had now been contained, but there was still "ongoing malicious activity". Almost all government agencies, including the FBI and NYPD, were unable to send or receive email messages. Some agencies set up temporary Gmail accounts so they could continue to operate.
Commenting on this, Lancope CTO, TK Keanini, said:
"Anything connected to the Internet is subject to this kind of incident period. Readers should at the very least read this and think about their business continuity plan. A ready and prepared defender is not something the attacker is counting on Architects take note because building in resiliency from the start is all about designing with this threat model in mind. So many wait and suffer through an outage before they make the investment."

Anyone who follows porn star Kennedy Carter on Twitter knows that he has a hot boyfriend. The ginger Brit has always posted revealing pics of himself and his sexy guy, Ivan. Now the Cocky Boys exclusive has filmed a once-in-a-lifetime scene, and his co-star is none other than his main man. According to the online studio, they asked fans whether they would be interested in seeing Kennedy and Ivan doing on-screen what they had previously only done in private. The answer was a resounding yes. And another porn star is born!
But to respect the couple's privacy, Cocky Boys filmed their scene is an unusual way. "We set up the cameras and left the room and asked them to make their own sex tape," creative director Benny Morecock says. "When we got the tapes back, we were completely blown away from what we saw! The passion, the raw intensity, the connection, the way they kissed and looked into each other's eyes while fucking each other. They were so comfortable with one another and knew exactly how to turn the other one on." And even though the tattooed studs got off, they say they will not film together again. Though Morecock has his reservations. "I have a feeling they will be back," he adds. "[The resulting scene] is a beautiful and stimulating expressing of two guys' love, desire and respect for each other."
Now wouldn't it be nice to see more of that in gay porn!? To watch, visit CockyBoys.com.

"status" is about reminding the user what changes are already in the index (i.e. what you would commit) and what changes are in the working tree, from which you could further update the index with (i.e. what you could commit). One _could_ argue that stashed changes are what could be reflected to the working tree and form the source of the latter, but my gut feeling is that it is a rather weak argument. At that point you are talking about what you could potentially change in the working tree, and the way to do so is not limited to "stash pop" (i.e. you can "git cherry-pick --no-commit $a_commit", or "edit" any file in the working tree for that matter, with the same ease). So, I tend to agree with you, while I do understand where "I want to know about what is in stash" is coming from (and that is why we do have "git stash list" command). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

MEN who attend workshops run as part of a Hampshire Constabulary-led project to reduce domestic abuse are less likely to reoffend, says the force.
Research being conducted with the University of Cambridge analysed the success of Project CARA (Conditional Cautioning and Relationship Abuse), which has been running in the constabulary's Western Area since August 2012.
The controlled experiment tracked the progress over 24 months of men, mostly first-time offenders, who received a conditional caution for a domestic abuse offence.
Some of the men were also invited to attend two workshops, looking at understanding emotional abuse and the impact on their families, recognising the feelings that lead to violence and identifying and dealing with contributory factors such as alcoholism and other substance abuse.
Initial results from the first 12 months of the project show that of 112 men, those who attended the workshops were 46 per cent less likely to re-offend than those who didn't attend.
An encouraging 82 per cent of the men who attended said the workshops changed their attitude to their partner. And 91 per cent of men who attended said the workshops helped address issues within their relationships.
Chief Superintendent Scott Chilton said: "The research conducted as part of Project CARA is victim-focused, innovative and arguably the first of its kind in the world.
"It looks predominantly at first-time offenders involved in cases that don't warrant a prosecution charge but still require police action.
"This is an emotive and challenging area to police. Without the possibility of a charge, current means available to officers to intervene|usually don't go far enough to protect victims. First-time arrests often lead to no further action and issuing a simple caution doesn't provide the breathing space a couple needs to reflect on the situation.
"The workshops, on the other hand, address the causes of an offender's violent behaviour, rather than the symptoms, with the aim of preventing that violence escalating into something more serious."
He added: "The initial results are encouraging and the testimonies from those involved indicate this approach can make a valuable difference.
"There is much we can learn from Project CARA and I will be looking now at how the scheme can be used on a wider scale.
"I believe it has the potential to help protect many more people at risk of domestic abuse and prevent more serious violence happening in the first place."
The workshops were provided by the Hampton Trust. Sara Kirkpatrick, the trust's domestic abuse practice and development manager, said: "It's been inspiring watching course delegates move from an initial position of anger and denial towards recognising how power and control in all of its forms are abusive.
"CARA has allowed us to intervene at the earliest opportunity and we have been able to gain valuable feedback from victims in understanding how positive early interventions can make a significant difference."
Chief Supt Chilton presented the initial findings from Project CARA on Tuesday at the Conference on Evidence-Based Policing at the University of Cambridge Institute of Criminology.

Al-Qaeda figure believed killed in U.S. drone strike
DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan (AP) An Iraqi al-Qaeda operative was believed to be one of seven militants killed by a U.S. missile strike in a Pakistani tribal region along the Afghan border overnight Monday, Pakistani intelligence officials said.
The officials said the man, identified as Abu Zaid al-Iraqi, handled the terrorist group's finances in Pakistan. He was not known to be on any published U.S. lists of wanted al-Qaeda leaders, and U.S. officials do not normally acknowledge the existence of the CIA-led missile program or talk about who is being killed.
The strike was the first since the arrest of a U.S. citizen who shot two Pakistanis in late January. There had been speculation that Washington had put a hold on the disputed tactic as it has pressured Pakistan to release the American, saying he has diplomatic immunity and acted in self-defense.
Three missiles hit a house in the village of Kaza Panga in the Azam Warsak area of South Waziristan tribal region, said two intelligence officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to reporters.
Al-Iraqi was believed to be one of several foreigners among the dead. He was described as being in his late 30s and going by the local name "Ali Khan." Al-Iraqi is believed to have shifted to South Waziristan in 2008 after time spent in Afghanistan.
The officials said they learned of his death through agents on the ground in South Waziristan, as well as sources in the Taliban. Nonetheless, independent confirmation of such deaths is nearly impossible because of the remote, dangerous nature of the areas involved. Rarely are bodies made available as proof.
Pakistan's tribal regions have long been key hideouts for Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters, including many from other countries. While Pakistan's military has waged offensives in various parts of the northwest, the U.S. has also used drone-fired missiles to target insurgents there.
Most of the missiles hit North Waziristan, a region populated with several militant groups whose primary focus is attacking U.S. and NATO troops across the border in Afghanistan. The Pakistani military has not taken action in that area because it says its priority is tame militant groups launching attacks on Pakistan's soil.
Nonetheless, the U.S. strikes do occasionally hit other parts of the tribal regions, typically South Waziristan.
The frequency of the missile strikes — often more than one a week — dropped to zero after American Raymond Davis was detained for shooting two Pakistanis in the eastern city of Lahore on Jan. 27. The U.S. has demanded his release, arguing Davis was acting in self-defense against robbers and has diplomatic immunity from prosecution because he works for the U.S. Embassy.
It was never clear whether the Davis incident had any direct impact on the lull in missile strikes. But observers have speculated Washington may have been holding back on the strikes to avoid further angering a population already riveted by the Davis arrest.
Pakistan's government publicly denounces the missile strikes as violations of its sovereignty, but is believed to secretly support the program. Wary of public opinion, however, Islamabad has strained its ties with the U.S. by refusing to verify whether Davis is a diplomat. Officials here say the matter is up to the courts, where police say they want to pursue murder charges against him.
