This just doesn't appear to be the Steelers' year – at least to win the AFC North.
Thing is, it might not matter.
Take a look around the AFC. See any unbeatable teams?
The Texans have the inside track at the top seed in the playoffs, but they look to have peaked earlier this season.
The Ravens slipped off the hook in a number of games this season, including two weeks ago in a 13-10 win at Pittsburgh. There's something to be said for finding a way to win, but Baltimore certainly doesn't look unbeatable.
New England?
Great offense, terrible defense.
Rookie quarterback and mediocre defense.
The best of the bunch might be Denver, but you have to wonder how Peyton Manning's arm will hold up when the snow starts flying at Invesco Field at Mile High.
The point is, just getting into the AFC playoffs this season is the main thing for any team. There just aren't any unbeatable juggernauts in the conference.
All of which brings us to the Steelers.
At 6-5 entering today's game at Baltimore, the Steelers are tied with Cincinnati for the final spot in the AFC playoffs. And given that no teams other than the aforementioned ones are above .500, six of the seven teams mentioned will make up the AFC field.
For the Steelers, the key is getting in.
With Ben Roethlisberger likely to return next week for the Steelers' game against San Diego at Heinz Field, the Steelers have the look of a dangerous team, even if they have to go on the road.
Can they win three road games to get to the Super Bowl? That would be a tall task, but it's certainly possible.
The most difficult matchups would be at New England or Denver. Beating the Broncos might be more difficult because the Steelers would not only have to face Manning but would have to do so without Ryan Clark, who has arguably been their best defensive player.
That leads us to today's game for the Steelers at Baltimore.
Roethlisberger won't play for the third consecutive week, but in the grand scheme of things, this game isn't a must-win.
That will come in a couple of weeks when the Steelers host Cincinnati.
If the Steelers simply win their final three home games, they should be the No. 6 seed in the AFC playoffs. If they take all four – including a winnable game at Dallas – they will likely be the fifth seed.
Troy Polamalu and Antonio Brown will be back in the lineup today for the Steelers, which gives them two major pieces to the puzzle. But it's highly unlikely Charlie Batch will be able to make enough plays for the Steelers to win.
The Ravens are favored by 8, which is a big number in this rivalry, but take Baltimore to cover, 24-14.
NY Giants (minus 2 1/2) at Washington
Giants can really take control of the division here.
Take the Giants, 23-20
Indianapolis (plus 5) at Detroit
The Colts still have to play Houston twice down the stretch.
Take Indianapolis to cover in a 27-24 loss
Tampa Bay (plus 7 1/2) at Denver
This game looked like a gimme earlier this season, but not so much now.
Take Tampa Bay to cover in a 27-23 loss
Seattle (plus 3 1/2) at Chicago
Seattle is just not a good road team.
Take Chicago, 20-14
Minnesota (plus 8) at Green Bay
Aaron Rodgers and company should bounce back.
Take Green Bay, 31-17
San Francisco (minus 7) at St. Louis
St. Louis will have the 49ers' attention after playing them to a tie a few weeks back.
Take San Francisco, 26-17
New England (minus 7 1/2) at Miami
The Patriots clinch the AFC East with a win.
Take New England, 34-20
Houston (minus 6 1/2) at Tennessee
Houston could get caught looking ahead to next week's matchup in New England.
Take Tennessee to cover in a 24-20 loss
Arizona (plus 4 1/2) at New York Jets
Crazy as it sounds, Mark Sanchez would be starting for the Cardinals. So would Tim Tebow.
Take the Jets, 23-16
Carolina (minus 3) at Kansas City
Carolina and Cam Newton are starting to build momentum for next season.
Take Carolina, 24-14
Philadelphia (plus 10) at Dallas
The Cowboys will relish the thought of burying the Eagles.
Take Dallas, 31-14
Jacksonville (plus 6) at Buffalo
This is the kind of game the Bills look good in to tease their fans.
Take Buffalo, 27-17
Cincinnati (minus 2) at San Diego
Chargers gave one away last week against Baltimore. The won't do the same against Cincinnati.
Take San Diego, 26-20
Cleveland (minus 2 1/2) at Oakland
The Browns won their Super Bowl last week against the Steelers.
Take Oakland, 30-24
Last Week: 5-7-1 ATS; 8-5 Straight up
Overall: 73-81-6 ATS; 98-62 Straight up

As the Jan. 19 start of the legislative session looms over us like an ugly, unstoppable avalanche, lawmakers appear to have signaled their distaste for at least one unappetizing budget fix: reinstating a tax on food.
But why were working-class shopping carts a target to begin with?
New Mexico repealed its regressive tax on groceries just a few short years ago, long after the rest of civilization had realized that it was more of a punishment to the poor than a boon to state coffers. But with the state budget dissolving faster than Tiger Woods' marriage, many parties began advocating a return to the tax, lockstep with the American Way, aka, let's have the poor subsidize the wealthy.
The Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, aware that taxing food is unpopular, aggressively called for a "temporary" reinstatement of the food tax.
In a Jan. 6 press release, Think New Mexico counters by pointing out that the last food tax was temporary as well. It was an emergency measure during the Great Depression that inexplicably stuck around for 72 years as it casually doubled and then some.
On Jan. 11, Think New Mexico announced that an email campaign to legislators had been effective: At least 35 representatives have pledged to oppose reinstatement—enough to kill the GACC's regressive dreams.
There are better ways to climb toward a balanced budget: We need to permanently nix Gov. Bill Richardson's income tax cuts, which were a steady and painful source of bleeding even before the economy took a vacation. We need to shut the door on corporate tax loopholes that are siphoning up to $90 million annually out of New Mexico. We should institute a "soda tax," similar to the so-called sin taxes on alcohol and tobacco, that puts a premium on obesity-epidemic items that are technically edible but lack the nutrients to truly be called food.
Unfortunately, we have a governor who insists that even minor income tax increases will be "temporary"—a blip on the radar of the wealthy. We have a Legislature that has consistently ignored Santa Fe Democratic Sen. Peter Wirth's ongoing crusade to make our tax code equitable by ensuring that corporations with branches in other states have to pay taxes just like the rest of us.
Not so strangely, the GACC and other organizations that pushed for penalizing the poor in the checkout line happen to oppose increasing income tax rates and closing corporate tax loopholes. This is in keeping with the radical protectionism of outdated bottom-line thinking that has led to the vilification of the US Chamber of Commerce as an institution over the past year, especially in relation to its stance on alternative energy.
The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce, by virtue of operating in a relatively progressive city, has typically had more nuanced views than the US chamber or the GACC. Simon Brackley, president and CEO of Santa Fe's chamber, says his organization has no formal position on the food tax and "at this time" remains neutral regarding closing corporate loopholes.
The GACC declined to return phone calls regarding the justification of its positions.
We know, however, from previous statements that the GACC believes low income taxes and a loophole-riddled tax code are an effective strategy for attracting new businesses and high-wage jobs to the state. What the GACC apparently does not know is that its theory of economic development has been dead for many years now. In other words, it has yet to come to terms with the "temporary" nature of the knee-jerk chamber positions. Tax the poor and fatten the rich is no longer an appropriate leadership position for a business advocacy organization to take.
More and more businesses are realizing that it pays to be progressive members of the community, and that long-term profits and growth will be maximized by empowering the welfare of the many. How long will it be before the GACC's members realize that the organization isn't really helping them at all? If lobbyists bent on maintaining the last century's business practices—like the GACC—don't wake up to the new era, they're going to find out that they, too, are temporary.
The only other Western state that hasn't raised income taxes during the recession is Alaska. The only other states that gouge the populace with a full food tax are Alabama and Mississippi.
Is New Mexico going to lose new jobs and businesses to Alaska if we raise taxes and close loopholes? Doubtful. Are New Mexico businesses happy with the leadership of an organization that looks to Alabama and Mississippi for intelligent, effective public policy?
I would expect a business advocacy organization to know that most economists predict a 3 to 5 percent increase in the cost of food over the next year. Doubling that to avoid tax increases for the wealthiest New Mexicans wouldn't have protected businesses; it would have crippled spending.
Now that we've managed to tell our legislators where we don't want them to look for revenue, it's time to make sure they're aware of where we do want them to find it.
As the Jan. 19 start of the legislative session looms over us like an ugly, unstoppable avalanche, lawmakers appear to have signaled their distaste for at least one unappetizing budget fix: reinstating a tax on food.

A woman was arraigned late Wednesday in connection with a telephone hoax that sent police from numerous departments to a Peters Township home earlier that day.
Tara Howard, 36, who lists addresses in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Venetia, was taken into custody by Peters police with assistance from North Strabane Township police at a home on Wallace Lane, North Strabane.
Peters police were called to 400 Justabout Road about 1:45 p.m. for a report of a person who had been shot. The 911 dispatcher said the caller was a frantic female, later identified as Howard, who said she heard a gunshot and found a bloody person on the floor of the home.
Police surrounded the residence and tried to make contact with someone inside the house. Peters police Chief Harry Fruecht organized an entry team. Peters and state police entered the home and conducted a search but found no one with a gunshot wound nor any signs of criminal activity.
Police also said that while they had the home surrounded, the homeowner arrived and told them he had received a voicemail message from a relative who said she was going to make the call to 911 to cause the family inconvenience. Howard later was found highly intoxicated in Washington.
Howard was arraigned before District Judge Jay Weller on charges of false reports to law enforcement and disorderly conduct. She was placed in the Washington County jail on $5,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 19 before District Judge James Ellis.

JEFFERSON – The wait was almost unbearable for Jason Miller.
The 138-pound junior for Jefferson-Morgan was closing in on 100 career victories over the weekend but came up one win shy in the Bedford Tournament.
Worse, Miller let the pressure get to him in that event, as he finished sixth.
On a rainy Wednesday night in front of the home crowd, Miller got wins No. 100 and 101 of his career as the Rockets advanced to the semifinals of the WPIAL Class AA Team Tournament.
Miller pinned Dakota Umphrey in 59 seconds in the Rockets' 47-29 victory over Avella to join the Century Club, then won by 16-0 technical fall over Nick Croyle in the Rockets' 50-22 victory against Kittanning in the quarterfinals.
The Rockets will take on No. 2 seed South Fayette in a 6 p.m. dual meet in Friday's semifinals at Chartiers Valley High School. Chartiers-Houston will meet Burrell in the other semifinal.
"It was in my head a little bit," said Miller, whose career record is 101-31. "Once I was on the mat, I tried to put it out of my head."
But the fans weren't going to let him. When he pinned Umphrey, they lifted signs into the air celebrating the event.
"I was clueless," said Miller. "I saw it, but I tried to ignore it."
"I had no idea they planned that," said Jefferson-Morgan head coach Scott Rhodes.
Miller became the 15th wrestler at Jefferson-Morgan to reach 100 wins.
"I thought he would get it at Bedford, but he had a rough time of it," Rhodes said. "It's tough. That sort of looms over you. But it was nice to get it in our gym."
The dual meet with Kittanning was anticlimactic, because the Wildcats forfeited three lightweight bouts and at 182, where the match began.
"The injuries accumulated over the season," said Kittanning head coach Brandon Newell. "We had to overcome 24 points. I tried to prepare the kids as best as I could."
Dustin Conti (195) and Ryan Zalar (152) had pins for Jeff-Morgan (11-4), which never trailed and had a 36-9 lead after Kittanning's final forfeit.
"(The forfeits) were unfortunate for them, because they are really a good team," said Rhodes. "We saw them at the Gateway Tournament at the beginning of the season, and they were really good. That's what happens with injuries, and it's a shame."
In the win over Avella, J-M got four forfeits from the Eagles. The Rockets did get pins from Ryan Zalar (152) and Bill Bowlen (170). Luke Lloyd (120) and Derek Allen (220) had pins for the Eagles (6-4).
Kittanning reached the quarterfinals with a 41-24 win over West Greene. The Pioneers were hurt by having no wrestlers at 106 and 120, which turned into no matches. Sheldon Phillips (113) and Matt Johnston (145) each had a pin for West Greene (3-5).

In the wake of President Obama's convincing victory over Mitt Romney earlier this month, Republican pundits and leaders have been offering up all kinds of explanations (excuses) as to why their candidate was defeated.
Some of them no doubt have merit: the hard-line approach that Romney took on immigration during the primaries that scared off Hispanic voters; women's reactions to GOP candidates talking about "legitimate rape" and such; the failure of Romney and running mate Paul Ryan to flesh out their proposals for the country's future, and the fear that they weren't doing so because much of the populace would find the details distasteful; and, of course, Romney's "47 percent" video.
And then there were the less-fact-based theories, such as fringe claims of voting irregularities or the premise that pretty much all the people who voted for Obama were doing so because they are layabouts who wanted to continue suckling at the government teat (Romney's 47 percent).
But it seems there's plenty of blame to go around, and lately one of the prime targets is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, whose crime was to cooperate with President Obama in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, rather than treat the president as if he had a raging case of ebola.
After the Jersey coast was ravaged by the hurricane, the president visited, consulted with the governor and pledged the help of the federal government in the recovery effort. Christie appeared side by side with the president, viewed the damage with him from the presidential helicopter and was quick to praise Obama for his assistance, tossing around terms like "outstanding" and "incredibly supportive." That, according to some in the GOP, coming as it did just days before the election, was what ultimately sunk Romney's hopes of claiming the White House.
Hardly. It's tough to imagine that very many folks, based solely on Christie's kind words for the president, bolted from their Barcaloungers to announce a shift of their fealty from Romney to the president. The people who based their presidential decisions on Christie's words and actions most likely could be counted on just a few sets of hands.
But what of the underlying issue that some in the GOP have with Christie's behavior?
According to a New York Times report, Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News' parent company, practically demanded Christie come out and reassert his support of Romney, which he did.
The Times story said Christie also heard from deep-pocketed donors to the Romney campaign, who criticized him for, among other things, standing too close to the president at an airport. Apparently he should have told the leader of the free world, who came bearing promises of federal aid, to keep his distance.
Christie also reportedly was buttonholed by GOP leaders at the recent Republican Governors Association meeting and told of their displeasure. The Times said the governor replied, "I will not apologize for doing my job."
And that's exactly what Christie was doing. He put politics aside and worked with someone from the opposing party in an effort to do what was best for the people he represents. The country would be in much better hands if some in Washington, D.C. – in both parties – would follow his lead.

The United States shocked the soccer elite today after securing a place in the second round of the World Cup following their 1-0 loss against footie powerhouse Germany.
But, let's face it, the U.S. has a tough task ahead of it as it now faces tournament dark horse, Belgium—and frankly the drama couldn't be higher.
Thankfully last night at the USMNT in Recife they revealed their secret weapon and it's none other than American comedic treasure Will Ferrell.
Ferrell showed up in full USMNT gear and although he admitted he's a little out of shape he says he's ready to unleash his razor sharp teeth into as many players as it takes to ensure U.S. victory.
Whatever it takes.

USC, BP battled for best in swimming
While North Allegheny dominated the second day of competition during the WPIAL Class AAA swimming championships at the University of Pittsburgh, Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair battled for supremacy in the South Hills.
While the Tigers swept the boys' and girls' team titles, racking up 327 and 417 points respectively, the USC boys edged BP in the boys' standings, 269.5 to 224, and the USC girls finished third behind runner-up Oakland Catholic, 257-189.5.
"I'm very proud of my teams," said USC skipper Dave Schraven. "We swam exceptionally well."
So did the Hawks. Despite their third-place position, the BP boys shattered the school record during a dramatic 400-yard freestyle relay race. Though touched out by NA by two-tenths of a second, the Hawks finished with an All-America 3:07.93 time. USC followed in third with an All-America consideration time of 3:08.20.
Of the new school standard, BP head coach Dave Kutrufis said, "that's exactly what the boys wanted. They knew they had a chance. It's the same team as last year and that experienced helped. They stepped up and swam."
Erik Brinkhoff certainly did. After losing the 100-yard freestyle title to friendly rival Alex Hardwick of USC, he anchored the 400-free unit of Mitchel Stahara, Zach Misak and Daniel Litwin.
In addition to Hardwick, who led off the race, the Panthers' foursome featured butterfly and backstroke champion Ryan Dudzinski on the anchor leg as well as Patrick Lersch and Nikhil Narayanan.
While disappointed to have lost to Hardwick for the second year in a row in the 100 free, Brinkhoff, who won the 50-yard freestyle race, adapted. The senior made subtle changes to his technique and helped BP to the new mark.
"The way I look at it," Brinkhoff said about his third-place showing in the 100 free with a 47.18 time, "the most important race is the next race. I put it (the 100 free) behind me and focused on the relay. I did what my coaches told me to do underwater with my turns and it worked.
"It feels so great to finish with the school record," continued the senior. "We all had to swim our best times and we did. It's amazing because the people who had that record were really, really good," he emphasized. "So it felt great to take that record down."
Though Dudzinski did not take down his brother Kyle's record in the 100 backstroke, the sophomore did earn an All-America consideration time of 50.63 in winning the event.
"My time was a bit slower than I expected. I expect to be faster at states," Dudzinski said. "While it's great to win and be awarded, it doesn't exactly stand for much when you know you could have done better."
While Hardwick, too, expects to do better at states, as do all the PIAA qualifiers, he knows that he gave it all he had to beat Brinkhoff in the 100 free and clinch his second individual gold medal of the competition. Hardwick also won the 200 free.
"When you swim against Erik, you know you will be in for a good race," explained the junior. "I saw him go out quite fast in the first 50 that I knew I needed to pick it up. On the last turn, I gave it all I had and hoped that it was going to be enough."
Hardwick, who had finished second the past two years, won the race in 46.44. Brian Lovasik of North Hills touched out Brinkhoff for the silver with a 47.18 time.
"It feels good to win," Hardwick said, "but I'm not tapered or shaved. Winning here with a good time gives me confidence and hopefully I can build off that for states knowing that I will go faster."
Fastest among the area competitors was Leah Smith. The Oakland Catholic senior, who resides in Mt. Lebanon shattered her own WPIAL record in winning the 500-yard freestyle with a 4:39.78 time. She finished 22 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher and ahead of Peters Township's Saorise Palu-Benson, who took third in 5:04.16.
Smith, who has competed in the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials and will attend the University of Virginia next year, also broke the 100-yard freestyle record with her lead-off leg on the 400-yard freestyle relay. Smith clocked in at 50.48.
Other Top 8 swims of the day by area swimmers included:
• Chris Buzard of Peters Township, fourth, and Stahara, seventh in the 100 free.
• Anna McGlade of Lebo, sixth, 500 free.
• BP's Zach Misak, PT's Kyle Higgins and Dan Pletz, Lebo's Andrei Mihailescu and USC's Kevin Liu, second, fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth in the back.
• Lebo's Meghan Schilken and Katie Ford, USC's Brittany Dudzinski and BP's Allie Brinkhoff, second, third, fifth and sixth in the back.
• Buard and Litwin, third and ninth in the breaststroke.
• USC's Carissa Hentosz, ninth, breast.
• PT's Connor Martin and Lebo's Noah Wechter, sixth and seventh, 500 free.
• USC's Victoria Shaffer, eighth, 100 free.

Alicia Keys is up to any challenge.
She proved that in December during the star-studded "12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief" benefit show, which featured such all-time great rockers as Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Roger Waters and Paul McCartney, and she illustrated that point once again as she sang the national anthem at the 2013 Super Bowl in New Orleans on Sunday.
The 14-time Grammy winner, who is scheduled to perform March 10 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, delivered a dramatically different version of "The Star-Spangled Banner." It was the polar opposite of some of the high-flying vocal affairs of past Super Bowls, such as Whitney Houston's memorable tutorial in vocal gymnastics before the 1991 game in
Singer Alicia Keys walks off the field after performing the National Anthem prior to the start of NFL Super Bowl XLVII football game between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens in New Orleans, Louisiana, February 3, 2013. REUTERS/Gary Hershorn ( GARY HERSHORN )
Instead, Keys sat at the piano and crooned slowly at the start of the difficult number, handling the words with deliberate care. The rendition was sweet, soft and breathy, exuding a relaxed vibe that seemed nearly impossible for the occasion. Keys showed uncommon restraint at the start, eventually moving to a greater degree of passion as the song steadily built toward a powerful climax.
It was, without a doubt, one of the more memorable national anthems of recent years.
The pregame festivities also included a touching rendition of "America the Beautiful," performed by Sandy Hook Elementary School students, with substantial help from Jennifer Hudson.

Cognac Regions
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Grande Champagne : about 13,000 hectares of clay and compact chalk soil. The Grande Champagne cru is located around the town of Segonzac. It produces a very fine, high-quality Cognac. It is known as the Premier Cru du Cognac.
Petite Champagne : some 16,000 hectares of clay and a more compact chalky layer of soil. Petit Champagne is very much of the same quality, but a touch lighter. It's vineyards lie to the south-west and south-east of Grande Champagne.
Fine Champagne : The blending of Grande and Petite Champagne with a minimum of 50% of Grande Champagne is called "Fine Champagne".
Borderies : only 4,000 hectares of unique soil on the plateau above Charente river. The eau de vie has a slight nutty taste. Borderies, which lie around the town of Burie (north-west of City of Cognac), is the smallest of the crus in the terms of acreage. Eaux-de-vie from Borderies has rich, flowery aromas and it is known as "…Cognac that ladies prefer".
Fins Bois : 37,000 hectares of soil. characterized by quick aging environment. A subtle flowery bouquet characterizes this eau de vie. The largest, and by far the intriguing cru, is Fins Bois. Geographically, it rings the other three crus. It lies, approximately, in the triangle between the towns of Rouilliac, Matha and Pons. It has a rich, full, strong aromas with a touch of the maritime climate.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.
Bois Ordinaires et Bois Communs (Bois a Terroir); 30,000 hectares of soil influenced by the Atlantic climate. Bons Bois and Bois Ordinaires are the exterior crus heavily influenced by the climate of the Atlantic ocean. They contribute less and less to the overall production of Cognac but are, nevertheless, known to produce some interesting Cognacs.

Rémy Martin - Louis XIII
The creation of the Louis XIII cognac in 1874 is in no way a coincidence. It represents the absolute mastery of time, a succession of daring initiatives and an unceasing quest for quality within the House of Rémy Martin. Louis XIII, the prestigious bond between the past and the future, opens – with the passion of three generations of cellar masters – the doors to the great saga of luxury spirits. It illustrates the collective work of men with strong ties to their land and the guardians of secular secrets.Their art will cross the 20th century. It will embrace the future with a steadfast faith and an extraordinary boldness.This art is similar to that of cathedral builders who never saw the completion of their work and used only the best materials for their building.Learn MoreExcl.

This summer's movies can be separated into three categories, provided one is willing to make up three bullshit categories and put this summer's movies into them. In this year's Summer Movie Guide, SFR has exerted just such an effort, taking a look at No. 1, Movies Based On Confused Hippie Theories, No. 2, Movies Featuring RILFs (think MILFS but, like, robots instead of moms) and, finally, No. 3, Seven Movies You Can Actually Look Forward To.
Movies Based on Confused Hippie Theories
Nonsense abounds. One particular breed—the conspiratorial or apocalyptic blather that runs rampant in the New Age cultural margins—provides especially great fodder for big-budget summer flicks. The "Sheeple"—as the apostles of such theories refer to the masses—flock to this type of film in droves. And, thus, the best thing about these movies is how they undermine the knowing coolness enjoyed by the hippie-lectuals who espouse the theories from which the movies are drawn. What self-respecting (and, if they're anything, they're self-respecting) coffee shop hippie-lectual can seriously sermonize about the coming apocalyptic transformations foretold by the Mayan calendar when a movie starring the likes of John Cusack, Amanda Peet and Woody Harrelson is currently doing just that? What ponytailed pontificator can remain straight-faced describing the dark works of the Illuminati when Tom Hanks is saying the same in theaters nationwide and in between every episode of CSI? Such are the difficulties faced by hippie-lectuals the world over, with the recent release of Angels and Demons and the forthcoming 2012.
Angels and Demons, a sequel (originally written as a prequel) to Dan Brown's onetime pop-cultural omnipresence, The Da Vinci Code, opened May 15. Ron Howard, fresh off his success in Frost/Nixon directs yet again, and Tom Hanks returns, too, as Harvard symbologist and fatherly sex symbol Robert Langdon, called upon by the Vatican to unveil the nefarious treachery of the world's most secret cabal that everybody and their mom has heard about...the Illuminati. Will he be able to prevent a terrorist act on the Catholic Church of such force that even the Pope-mobile cannot serve as a prophylactic?
July 10 sees the opening of 2012, an effects-heavy doomsday action movie directed by Roland Emmerich, the man behind last year's worst movie and truly one of the dumbest movies of all time, 10,000 B.C. Plagiarizing his own film from 2004, The Day After Tomorrow (that year's worst film, notice the pattern), which was about a climatologist saving mankind from global warming, 2012 revolves around an anthropologist who must save humanity from the end of the world supposedly prophesized by the Mayan calendar. (If you aren't aware of this theory's veracity, 2012's trailer sagaciously advises viewers "find out the truth" by Googling "2012." What better way?) But no ancient stone calendar is needed to predict the impending disaster, is it? Any Cute Kitties or Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition turned to the month of July, year 2009, will do.
Now if only next summer a film starring Jennifer Aniston and Keanu Reeves that reveals the American government is staffed by shape-shifting lizards who perpetrated 9.11 would come out and permanently cripple the hippie-lectual movement.
To address the ever-growing fascination with big, brawny bots in summertime cinema, a recent BBC documentary special may be instructive. My Car Is My Lover, part of BBC's America Reveals documentary series, tells the story of two "mechaphiles"—men who proudly proclaim their predilection for gas-powered paramours. For those unfortunate souls who missed it, highlights of My Car Is My Lover—narrated in a staid British accent that scarcely conceals the man's battle with a laugh attack—include a surreptitiously shot night-vision scene of a man violating the filmmakers' rented van, a heart-wrenching memoir of a night-that-lasts-forever affair with the recently deceased television star "Airwolf" (tragically lost to explosion in 1992) and a lurid account of doing it in the "tailpipe"…as in literally.
If there are dozens of out mechaphiles, mustn't there also be thousands, perhaps millions of less extreme, or at least unrecognized, cases of those who find auto-erotica sufficient for autoeroticism, albeit subconsciously? For tapping into this market, Big Buff Bot movies have one competitive advantage over normal car flicks: They do the anthropomorphizing labor for you, turning sexy muscle cars into things that can conceivably be cuddled, mounted.
Nothing this summer manifests mechaphilia more directly than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, though the recently opened Terminator: Salvation seems convinced it needs to compete. Revenge of the Fallen, opening June 24, stars youthful hotties Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox, who reunite to assist the fatherly Optimus Prime and his Autobots in battling robotic baddies, the Decepticons, this time led by annoying, high-pitched jet fighter Starscream. Those eagerly awaiting this sequel will certainly not be disappointed, as its reported $200 million budget assures it will be packed with tons of transforming bots, explosions and CGI.
Attempting to use Christian Bale to relaunch its brand and return to gritty form after a few lame, glossy iterations—exactly like the Batman franchise just did —Terminator Salvation, which opened May 21, picks up in the post-nuclear-apocalypse. The survivors, led by John Connor (Bale), are just trying to avoid getting killed by unmanned Hunter Killers (essentially the Predator Drones currently being flown by video gamers in the States, remotely bombing Pakistan and Afghanistan) or getting stomped on by super-sized Transformer-looking über-terminators. Though the addition of Bale is a welcome one, what portends poorly for Terminator Salvation is its direction by the douchey Joseph McGinty Nichol, music video and Charley's Angels: Full Throttle director who goes by "McG." McG?
These big-budget, big-robot movies may not look as if they're going to have much soul, but, in combination, they ought to satiate even the most overheated RILF-fiends for the duration of the summer.
Seven Movies You Can Actually Look Forward To
Sprinkled among the cartoon-based, ADD-causing shit-blowin'-up flicks and the nauseatingly lame chick flicks are seven promising films. Each, for very different reasons, deserves at least a modicum of anticipatory jitters.
The first, Away We Go, opened May 5 and is directed by alienation-expert Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road) and written by husband-and-wife duo and The Believer co-founders Dave Eggers (the hyper-reflective author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius) and Vendela Vida. John Krasinski (The Office) and Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live) star as a Gen-Y couple who, expecting their first child, road-trip the country in a beat-up blue Volvo, searching for the perfect place to start a family. Along the way they contend with solipsistic boomer parents and eccentric friends full of bad child rearing advice. Away We Go, full of terrific talent, looks as if it will be a touching, smart, honest and funny film about relationships that is neither male-perspective-centric (think the stable of Apatow comedies) nor female-perspective-centric (think Sex and the City). Moreover, it's the first studio film to adopt green filmmaking, including the use of biodiesel and ceramic catering dishes, so props for that.
Opening June 12 (though possibly a bit later in Santa Fe), Moon, starring the terrific Sam Rockwell (Frost/Nixon), stands a decent chance of being the sort of philosophical outer space sci-fi film that can be placed in with the likes of 2001: A Space Odyssey or Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris. Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an astronaut nearing the end of a three-year solo stint collecting hydrogen from the surface of the moon—fuel that is used for clean energy back home on earth. On a routine surface excursion, Sam has a close encounter with himself—and not in the metaphorical sense.
For fans of lavishly costumed (the cliché that always accompanies them) period pieces—you know, the ones with romance, intrigue, British accents (no matter where they're set) and décolletage galore—June 26 is your day. That's the opening date for Chéri, which has all those things plus direction by Stephen Frears (The Queen, High Fidelity) and a script by Christopher Hampton (Atonement). The story, adapted from a Colette novel, is set in 1920s France where a retired courtesan of a certain age (Michelle Pfeiffer, 51, to be exact) initiates an affair with a rival courtesan's (Kathy Bates) son (Rupert Friend, 27). Chéri reunites Frears, Hampton and Pfeiffer, who collaborated on 1988's Dangerous Liaisons (also drawn from a French novel), and it is certainly a must-see for admirers of that work—though a more charming, fanciful feel might also draw in admirers of last year's Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day.
The Hurt Locker, also set to open June 26, has a trailer that, on its own, is more suspenseful than 99 out of 100 "suspense films." About an Army bomb-disarming unit in Iraq, the movie also appears to the have the best chance of not blowing itself up by inadvertently touching the red wire of trite moralization to the black wire of the ongoing War On Terror—an entanglement that has caused many recent war films to bomb. The film is directed by Kathryn Bigelow (Strange Days, The Weight of Water), written by Mark Boal (In the Valley of Elah) and features a cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Guy Pearce and Ralph Fiennes.
With direction by Michael Mann (Heat) and a cast fronted by Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose), Public Enemies—opening July 1—can't help but at least be damned entertaining. And, given that it glorifies the Tommy-gunning of bankers by legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, who, in these troubled times, can help but feel inspired by it?
On July 10, Sacha Baron Cohen, ie Borat and Ali G, returns to the big screen as his heretofore lesser-known persona: Brüno, the ridiculously flaming host of an Austrian fashion television show. One leaked scene, in which Brüno interviews and then attempts to seduce Ron Paul in a hotel room, already has caused quite a stir online. Others scenes find Brüno adopting an African infant ("Angelina has one and now Brüno will have one too") whom he names "OJ," Brüno wreaking havoc at a fashion show wearing an all-Velcro suit and Brüno taking martial arts instruction in which he requests a lesson in defense against attack by dildo. That "Brüno" can pass unrecognized at this level of fame leaves this fan a bit incredulous but, all the same, Brüno should be hilarious.
Begin preparing your delicate psyche now:
Aug. 21 marks the release of Inglourious Basterds, a film in which Brad Pitt and Eli Roth lead a Jewish-American squadron known as "The Basterds" on a secret mission into Nazi-occupied France. The Basterds' sole mission is to maim, torture and scalp Nazis—a people who, in an ironic twist of fate, have been thoroughly dehumanized so that it's emotionally easier to see them exterminated. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds promises to be full of old-school Tarantino fun with violence and genres.
This summer's movies can be separated into three categories, provided one is willing to make up three bullshit categories and put this summer's movies into them. In this year's Summer Movie Guide, SFR has exerted just such an effort, taking a look at No. 1, Movies Based On Confused Hippie Theories, No. 2, Movies Featuring RILFs (think MILFS but, like, robots instead of moms) and, finally, No. 3, Seven Movies You Can Actually Look Forward To.

USC native screens latest film
Upper St. Clair resident Peter Rosati, a film production major at Emerson College in Boston, is having a pre-release screening of the short film, "Le Blue Stella," at 5 p.m. Feb. 9 at the GRW Theater at Point Park University.
There will also be a free screening of the film at the USC High School LGI on at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 10, sponsored by USC Odyssey of the Mind. Also planned is a discussion of the film and process, as well as a short acting workshop.
"Le Blue Stella," a story of two boys' friendship and adventure aboard their handcrafted spaceship, was filmed locally this past August, and features Upper St. Clair middle school students Sheb Rosati and Anthony Rach.
The program at Point Park also includes a sneak peak of Rosati's upcoming thesis film, "The Whistler." Rosati called it "a magically real adventure film about protecting the things you love."
"The Whistler" is Rosati's Emerson College Capstone Project and will be a collaboration of more than 40 students from Emerson and a cast of actors, young and old, from around the Boston area. Filming is planned for early March.
Since "The Whistler" is a larger scale project, Rosati is trying to raise money for the film via Kickstarter. Fundraising was launched on Jan. 23, with close to $2,000 raised within a week. The budget will be used to create "The Whistler" character, sets and equipment, with excess funds being used for things like transportation, insurance, permits, visual effects, food and post production. At least $8,500 has to be raised before Feb. 12 for the project to be funded through Kickstarter.
Admission is free for the pre-release screening at Point Park, but DVDs and other items will be on sale with proceeds going toward "The Whistler."
To donate to Rosati's Kickstarter effort, visit www.kickstarter.com/projects/945831182/the-whistler-0.
Film Camp
In addition to producing and directing films, Peter Rosati is also hosting a camp for kids to discover the filmmaking process. This is the second year for Peter's Film Camp, located in Upper St. Clair. Registration has just opened; for information, visit the website: www.petersfilmcamp.com.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ashtin19 from Such a great sandal! My fiance bought me these in black (when they were still available) and I couldn't be happier with them! They were a little stiff to break in, which caused a few blisters but afterwards they were fine. I normally wear a 7 in sandals and a 7.5 with boots and sneakers, for a little extra room. I received these in a 7 and they fit perfectly! I will be purchasing these in other colors!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kylie from My go to sandal! I bought these in New York, and the first day I wore them they hurt my feet. But after that they broke in and became the most comfortable sandals ever. Not only are they really cute, but they are comfortable too! I could wear these every day- and never get sick of them. I HIGHLY recommend these to anyone in the market for an adorable sandal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Becca16 from gorgeous sandals but way too small I absolutely love these miller sandals, however, they are a full size too small. I have these sandals in a size 6 and I ordered them in white in a 6.5 just to give myself a little room. I don't know why Tory Burch has sized her sandals this way but I measured the 6 and 6.5 length wise and they are the exact same size! There is not even a tiny bit of difference in the size between the full and half sizes. I would highly recommend getting one full size up from your normal size. I have never been a 7 in any shoe besides these sandals.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Merrin from I like them! I wish people wouldn't keep saying that they run small. I read the reviews and then bought a 1/2 size bigger than my usual size and they fit 1/2 size bigger than my usual size! I had to send them back and get my usual size which took time. The shoes are very cute, pretty comfortable but I wouldn't wear them to Disneyland or somewhere else where you walk all day. They will need to be broken in, the top part is a little stiff. Overall, I recommend them, just order your usual size!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Cabel from Love love love! My hubby surprised me with these beauties when he visited Charlotte for business. The wonderful sales woman who picked them out told him to order a 1/2 size up and they fit perfectly. What a sweet surprise, especially since I just had to return the amelie sandals as they weren't comfortable. These are comfortable and gorgeous! Don't hesitate!

Know the Background: Get a vehicle maintenance history report. Two of the leading websites for history reports are AutoCheck or CarFax. It's a good concept to get a report from each locations so you don't skip any issues. Getting a history report is cheap insurance coverage. A "problem verify" will determine if the utilized car has sustained hearth damage or an explosion. It will also show if it has been concerned in a major incident. The hearth or incident might have inflicted a still undetected harm on the used vehicle. It is also fairly creepy to use a vehicle that has cradled lifeless bodies before. A problem verify will expose if the car has been stolen. A vehicle that has been stolen might no lengthier have all its authentic parts.

Learn More about Pearl Jewelry
Confused by all the options for your pearl jewelry purchase? Wondering about the different kinds and shapes of pearls? Let us help you learn more about the intricacies of pearl jewelry so that you can make the right purchase, whether youre looking for pearl necklaces, pearl earrings, pearl rings, or any other type of pearl jewelry.
Natural and Cultured Pearls
There are two different types of pearls. Natural freshwater pearls are considered more valuable because they occur in the wild and are harder to find. The value of a natural freshwater pearl is determined much in the same way as a precious gem. A jeweler will assess factors about the pearl such as its size, shape, quality of the surface, orient and luster to determine its value as a part of a pearl jewelry piece. The other type of pearl, the cultured pearl, is much more common than the freshwater pearl. This is because cultured pearls are raised in pearl farms and therefore can be harvested year round. There are many types of cultured pearls and different ways they can be made/harvested. Jewelers are able to tell the difference between a cultured pearl and a natural freshwater pearl by putting the pearl under an x-ray.
Pearl Shapes
Pearls come in eight different shapes: round, semi-round, drop, button, oval, pear, circled and baroque. A perfectly round pearl is the rarest and most valuable of all pearl shapes. Button pearls are used primarily in pearl earrings because one side is flat, which gives the illusion on the ear that it is a perfect round pearl. Drop and pear pearls appear in a variety of types of pearl jewelry, including pearl earrings, pearl pendants and as centerpieces in pearl necklaces. Baroque pearls make for very interesting pearl jewelry pieces because of their unique shapes.
Pearl Colors
There are many different colors of pearls, but the colors most commonly used in pearl jewelry are white and black. Other pearl colors you might encounter are pink, blue, champagne, green and purple pearls. These unique colors can make a particularly striking statement in a piece of pearl jewelry.
Lengths and Types of Pearl Necklaces
Unlike most necklace lengths, which are identified simply by the number of inches that the necklaces measure, pearl necklaces have different length measurements. A collar pearl necklace sits on the throat and is very small around. This necklace will not hang down. Pearl Chokers sit at the base of the neck. These necklaces are also shorter in overall length. A Princess-length pearl necklace is longer and sits at the collarbone. A pearl necklace of Matinee length falls just above the breast. Next longest is the Opera length of pearl necklace, which is long enough to reach the beast bone or sternum. The longest is called a Pearl Rope, which describes any pearl necklace longer than the Opera length.
Pearl necklaces, or strands of pearls, can also be classified as uniform or graduated. In a uniform strand of pearls each pearl is the same size as the next. Conversely, there are usually three different pearl sizes in a graduated strand of pearls. The smaller pearls are generally placed in the back of the necklace; the medium-sized pearls come towards the front and the largest pearls appear in the center. The graduated style of pearl necklace became popular in America in the 1950s. Graduated pearl strands are also often a more affordable piece of pearl jewelry than uniform strands, since they are made up partly of smaller pearls.
The Meaning of a Pearl
In eastern cultures the pearl symbolizes purity and spirituality; the pearl is thought to help wearers remain honest, wise and to act with integrity. The pearl is a part of the gemstone calendar of birthstones, as the gem designated for June birthdays. Pearl jewelry is also popular as an embellishment for weddings. Both brides and members of the bridal party are often seen wearing pearl jewelry. The pearl is especially fitting for weddings because of its light color and classic elegance.

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. - A man with a criminal past came to the aid of a Pasco County Sheriff's deputy who was in a violent struggle with a man he was taking to jail.
Authorities say 35-year-old Anthony Stinnett was at a convenience store on Jan. 4 when he saw a patrol car pull up.
Stinnett told the Tampa Bay Times he heard loud thumping before the car's window shattered and Osvaldo Flores jumped out and attacked Deputy John Brown.
Stinnett says he ran across the parking lot and pried Flores' handcuffed arms away from Brown's throat. Flores tried to run, but Stinnett tackled him. Stinnett and Brown held him down until backup arrived.
Flores remains in jail. Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco plans to recognize Stinnett during an awards ceremony next week.

DONORA – Citizens Bank will follow PNC's lead by closing its Donora branch in April in a move that will put an end to one-on-one banking within the struggling borough's boundaries.
The moves follow the decision to close the Donora branch of a First Federal Savings Bank in October in the former industrial town, borough officials said, where the abandonment of U.S. Steel mills in the 1950s ushered in what would become the collapse of steelmaking three decades later in the Pittsburgh region.
"It's certainly distressing news," Donora Council President Karen Polkabla said, responding to letters mailed Jan. 25 from Citizens to its Donora customers announcing the permanent closing of its branch at 501 McKean Ave.
"I cannot believe it," Polkabla said Tuesday.
The letter from Citizens director of retail banking in Pittsburgh, Angela Moultrie, indicated customers' accounts will not change after the branch closes at 6 p.m. April 26, and referred their walk-in business to branches in neighboring Carroll Township and Monessen.
"While we regret the need to close this branch and apologize for any inconvenience this may create for you, we do hope that you will continue to bank with us," Moultrie stated.
The closing does not require any further action from Citizens customers in Donora, she stated.
Polkabla said she suspects the drop in local traffic volume as a result of the July 2009 closing of the aging Donora-Webster Bridge had something to do with the bank closings.
She said some people find it more convenient to bank at Citizens branches in Giant Eagle stores, perform their banking business online and have their Social Security and pay checks deposited directly into their accounts.
"All of this in combination makes it less likely for people to go into a bank," she said.
Citizens spokeswoman Sylvia Bronner said the bank reviews customer traffic patterns and preferences to help it meet their needs.
"Given the increasing popularity of mobile and online banking, we significantly expanded those services last year and are continuing to invest in this area and to make improvements to our ATM network," Bronner said.
Polkabla said the borough maintains its bank accounts with the PNC at 601 McKean Ave., which will close April 19.
"I am not crazy about driving to Belle Vernon every day to make a deposit," she said.
The Belle Vernon branch is three miles from Donora, said PNC spokeswoman Amy Vargo.
She said the decision to close the Donora PNC branch followed conversations with its customers and evaluations of needs and cost-effective measures to consolidate branches.
"Overall customers are using branches differently today," Vargo said.

East Washington police are warning residents after one home was entered and an attempt apparently was made to enter a second while the residents were sleeping.
Acting police Chief Mark Griffith was called about 8 a.m. Wednesday to the home of an elderly couple on Council Street who awakened to find a broken kitchen window and the kitchen door open. On Tuesday morning, police were called to Christman Avenue after a resident awoke to find the kitchen window had been forced open, but no entry was made to that residence.
Griffith said in the Council Street incident, the screen was cut and the window was broken. Some of the items on the window sill were moved around, but nothing was stolen from the home.
"The husband told me that when he went to bed about 11 p.m., he checked the kitchen door to make sure it was locked," Griffith said. "His wife stayed up in a computer room until about 2:30 a.m.
"At some point during the night, she thought the house felt chilly, so she got up, checked the thermostat and went back to bed," the chief added. "The burglar may have been in the house then. That might have scared him, and he left without taking anything."
Griffith urged residents to call 911 immediately if they see or hear anything suspicious near their homes.
"My concern is the burglar entered homes when people were sleeping," Griffith said Wednesday. "What if the resident this morning walked in on the burglar? I am concerned that someone is going to get hurt."
Griffith urged residents to keep outside lights on at their homes and make sure doors and windows are locked. Police also will be stepping up patrols.

ERIE – A woman who helped an Erie businessman cheat his copy machine business customers out of roughly $8 million must spend 16 months in federal prison.
Federal prosecutors wanted more than three years in prison for 52-year-old Mary Beth Nagorski, of Erie, but a judge gave her leniency in finding she didn't help keep the money for herself, but instead had a "misguided loyalty" to the owner and his company.
Nagorski was vice president of finance for Erie Copy Products Inc., whose 58-year-old owner, Frederick Zurn, died in January before he could begin serving his 4 1/2-year prison sentence. The business charged customers, including Erie-area churches and schools, for copy machines that were broken, less expensive than promised or never delivered.
Nagorski's attorney also sought leniency because she cares for her 91-year-old father and mentally disabled brother.

An otherwise humdrum Washington City Council meeting came to a fiery finish as the mayor read a statement rebuking two councilmen just before adjournment.
"It seems we have a couple guys who think that they are king, and that they can lay down their decree and that's the law," said Mayor Brenda Davis. "Well, I have news for you – that's not the case."
Davis accused Councilman Ken Westcott of taking it upon himself to close City Hall during a snowstorm Jan. 25, resulting in several employees receiving paid time off.
After the meeting, Westcott rebutted the accusation, explaining that Councilmen Joe Manning and Matt Staniszewski also voted in favor of allowing four city employees to leave about an hour early because of the weather.
"The decision wasn't made by one council member; it was made by a majority of council members," he said. "So the statement is not an accurate statement. The mayor lied tonight."
Westcott pointed out that he had served as mayor for eight years and knows the importance of allowing council members to do their jobs – a boundary he said Davis tends to overstep. Despite such issues, Westcott said he is willing to work with anybody.
Following the comments aimed at Westcott, the mayor turned her ire toward Staniszewski, whom she accused of making a city employee cry and creating an "untenable working environment."
"Parading around discussing how much alcohol you drank over the weekend, and moving paperwork around and not putting it back the way you found it is unacceptable," Davis said regarding the latter councilman.
The mayor held up a photo of a memo regarding a complaint from a taxpayer that she claimed Staniszewski had crumpled up and placed in her mailbox. Davis alleged Staniszewski, who serves as the public works director, sent her a text message telling her not to send him such memos, reiterating she's not his boss. She proceeded to read from the state Third Class City Code regarding her ability to call on a department director for any and all issues.
"The mayor's statements are completely false, and they're lies to the public," Staniszewski said after the meeting.
"Anyone can crumple up a piece of paper and claim that someone else put it in the box," he added.
Staniszewski said he had spoken regularly with the resident in question and had been to her home to address the complaint. He hinted at the possibility of litigation against Davis, stating that he would be meeting with an attorney today.
"The mayor right now believes that this is a dictatorship and not a democracy," Staniszewski said.
The final portion of the mayor's statement addressed her disappointment over the handling of the solid waste contact.
"As a result of it being bid twice, an extra burden has been placed on the backs of the taxpayer," Davis said.
At the agenda meeting Monday, council mulled increasing trash pickup from $175 to $243 per year after a second bid from Waste Management came back more than $100,000 higher than the first. Davis had explained that the company's first bid, which had contained an increase of only $36,000, was tabled after Staniszewski asked that an option limiting the weight of garbage trucks be added.
Staniszewski contends that the mayor had sent incomplete specifications to Waste Management. He also pointed out that the motion to table the first bid was unanimously approved by the entire council.
"Had the mayor communicated with all of City Council, we wouldn't be in this mess now," Staniszewski said. "The rate for the first bid to the second bid was exactly the same. What has changed was the number of houses that Waste Management bid."
A motion to increase the rate was unanimously tabled Thursday.
To conclude her statement, Davis suggested earmarking a portion of the more than half-million dollars carried over into the general fund this year to help pay administrative costs in an effort to reduce the trash pickup increase to $25.

The SEI helps advance software engineering principles and practices and serves as a national resource in software engineering, computer security, and process improvement. The SEI works closely with defense and government organizations, industry, and academia to continually improve software-intensive systems. Its core purpose is to help organizations improve their software engineering capabilities and develop or acquire the right software, defect free, within budget and on time, every time.
Get started today by choosing a course or professional certificate track in the following subject areas:
Acquisition training addresses the skills needed in a program office to manage software acquisition, enabling program managers to recognize the needs of their programs. These courses also present a broad range of topics from the traditional (continuous risk management, or CRM) to the leading edge (Mission Success in Complex Environments, or MSCE).
Incident Handling training helps managers, project leaders, CSIRT staff, and computer forensic professionals to create and manage CSIRTs, prepares incident handlers to respond to system compromises at the administrator level, teaches technical staff the best practices they can use for analyzing malicious code, and describes tools and best practices that can be used to support organizations' incident response and forensic analysis investigations.
Measurement and analysis training presents best practices for gathering data about products, processes, and projects and analyzing that data to influence your actions and plans. These courses provide you with practical applications of tools like Six Sigma and project management that can have immediate use in your workplace.
Network Security training provides technical staff members, engineers, software managers, and technical leads best practices and practical techniques for protecting the security of their organization's information assets and resources. Topics covered include the SQUARE methodology, secure coding in C and C++, and four critical software assurance areas--security requirements, software supply chain assurance, mission thread analysis, and measurement.
Risk Assessment & Insider Threat training teaches managers, executives, security and business continuity professionals, risk managers, compliance personnel, and insider threat program managers to develop strategies for protecting their organizations from security threats, and to better manage their risks. Topics covered include the CERT Resilience Management Model (CERT-RMM), OCTAVE Allegro method, and insider threat program management best practices.
Based on decades of experience architecting software-reliant systems and supported by four widely acclaimed books, the Software Architecture training equips software professionals with state-of-the-art practices, so they can efficiently design software-reliant systems that meet their intended business and quality goals.
Software Product Line training equips software professionals with state-of-the-art practices, so they can efficiently achieve strategic reuse and other business goals. The courses are based on extensive SEI and community experience in developing, acquiring, and fielding software product lines in order to provide the knowledge necessary for successfully implementing a product line approach.
Using the Team Software Process (TSP), along with Personal Software Process (PSP), an organization can build self-directed teams that plan and track their work, establish goals, and own their processes and plans. TSP courses provide everyone -executives, managers, engineers- with the skills they need to be successful.
