Lochte wins 400 IM in blowout; Phelps finishes 4th

LONDON (AP) ? Ryan Lochte turned his much-anticipated duel with Michael Phelps into a blowout, pulling away to win the Olympic 400-meter individual medley by more than 3 seconds Saturday night. Even more stunning: Phelps didn't even win a medal.

After barely qualifying for the evening final in a performance that hinted at trouble ahead, Phelps struggled to a fourth-place finish and was denied his 17th career medal. When it was done, he could barely pull himself out of the pool.

Brazil's Thiago Pereira took the silver, and Japan's Kosuke Hagino claimed the bronze ? beating Phelps by a barely comfortable 34-hundredths of a second for a spot on the podium.

Equestrian Ink: Meet Ziggy

This spring has been a sad time in our pet family with Dozer, the senior Lab, being put down, Lacey, our very old cat dying under the pool in the big storm, and then on Monday, Jake, our rescue mutt, having to be put down. Jake had changed from an energetic oldster (12) to an ailing oldster in a short amount of time. Initially we thought it was Lyme disease. Even though he had been vaccinated, it is not foolproof, and we began treating him with antibiotics. The vet found no abnormalities in his blood work, but when he sent us home, he said, "Let's hope it's Lyme. If not, it's probably something worse."

It was something worse. Jake quit eating, he began throwing up, and a second trip to the vet showed he had a huge tumor on his spleen. We asked the vet if we could put Jake in the car as if he was going home, and he?euthanized?him there. He died with his head on my ?husband's lap. ?Jake's death left a huge hole in the family and my heart. He'd been a challenging rescue, but he'd also been my shadow. Fang, aka princess Chihuahua, was left with no dog buddies, and I knew I better find another dog to share our lives with before school started and we had less time.

Meet Ziggy. Part bat (check out his ears in the photo below), part mini-pin, part Chihuahua. He came from Caring for Creatures, a fabulous rescue organization that plucks dogs and cats from high-kill shelters before they are put down. Ziggy's ?time was up. He is only one-year-old, he was at CFC for six weeks, and at least a month at the shelter where he came in as a stray, so I can't imagine what his brief life has been like. Fang and I met him at CFC (above) and although I knew Ziggy would be challenging because he was shy and afraid of men, we brought him home.

It's been four days, and I've learned quickly how to be leader of the pack to help reassure Ziggy that he is safe. Here he is resting after his fifth walk (and it's only lunchtime!) Fortunately, he's smart and learning quickly. Challenges are house-training--I haven't picked up on his "I need to go" cues--despite all the walks, and 'stranger' issues. He's super-sensitive to sounds and sights. I have no idea how he coped at the busy, noisy shelters. ?But I am learning what he needs, and he's learning all the rules that I (leader of the pack) have set down, Fang loves playing with him (growls added when he gets too rough), he loves my daughter, and he and my husband are slowly bonding.

Now if he can just find that CAT.

If anyone has a mini-pin, please send ANY suggestions on training. I have read they can be a handful. Ziggy seems to have enough of something "else" in him that he is eager to please, so my fingers are crossed. I do get the feeling he can ?never be allowed off-leash (Fang, aka princess, never has to be on a leash so I have been spoiled.). If he spots something moving, he wants to be after it in a flash.

Thank you for letting me share one more depressing "pet death" story, and I hope next post, to have ?great news on Ziggy's adjustment.

Microbes make 'clean' methane

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Microbes that convert electricity into methane gas could become an important source of renewable energy, according to scientists from Stanford and Penn State universities.

Researchers at both universities are raising colonies of microorganisms -- methanogens -- with the remarkable ability to turn electrical energy into pure methane, the key ingredient in natural gas. The goal is to create large microbial factories to transform clean electricity from solar, wind or nuclear power into renewable methane fuel and other valuable chemical compounds for industry.

"Most of today's methane is derived from natural gas, a fossil fuel," said Alfred Spormann, professor of chemical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at Stanford. "And many important organic molecules used in industry are made from petroleum. Our microbial approach would eliminate the need for using these fossil resources."

He added that all of the carbon dioxide released during combustion is derived from the atmosphere, and all of the electrical energy comes from renewables or nuclear power, which are also carbon dioxide free.

Methane-producing microbes could help solve the problem of what to do with surplus electricity generated by photovoltaic power stations and wind farms.

"While conceptually simple, there are significant hurdles to overcome before electricity-to-methane technology can be deployed at a large scale," said Bruce Logan, Evan Pugh Professor and Kappe Professor of Environmental Engineering, Penn State. "That's because the underlying science of how these organisms convert electrons into chemical energy is poorly understood."

Burning natural gas accelerates global warming by releasing carbon dioxide that's been trapped underground for millennia. The researchers wanted to take a "greener" approach to methane production. They envision large bioreactors filled with methanogens single-cell organisms that produce methane.

Methanogens cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. Instead, they regularly dine on atmospheric carbon dioxide and electrons borrowed from hydrogen gas. The byproduct of this microbial meal is pure methane, which methanogens excrete into the atmosphere.

The researchers plan to use this methane to fuel airplanes, ships and vehicles. In the ideal scenario, cultures of methanogens would be fed a constant supply of electrons generated from emissions-free power sources, such as solar cells, wind turbines and nuclear reactors. The microbes would use these clean electrons to metabolize carbon dioxide into methane, which can then be stockpiled and distributed via existing natural gas facilities and pipelines when needed.

Microbial methane is much more ecofriendly than ethanol and other biofuels, the researchers noted. Corn ethanol, for example, requires acres of cropland, as well as fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation and fermentation.

Methanogens are much more efficient, because they metabolize methane in just a few quick steps.

For this new technology to become commercially viable, a number of fundamental challenges must be addressed.

In 2009, Logan's lab was the first to demonstrate that a methanogen strain known as Methanobacterium palustre could convert an electrical current directly into methane. For the experiment, Logan and his Penn State colleagues built a reverse battery with positive and negative electrodes placed in a beaker of nutrient-enriched water.

"The microbes were about 80 percent efficient in converting electricity to methane," Logan said.

At Penn State, Logan's lab is designing and testing advanced cathode technologies that will encourage the growth of methanogens and maximize methane production. The Penn State team is also studying new materials for electrodes, including a carbon-mesh fabric that could eliminate the need for platinum and other precious metal catalysts.

"Many of these materials have only been studied in bacterial systems but not in communities with methanogens or other archaea," Logan said. "Our ultimate goal is to create a cost-effective system that reliably and robustly produces methane from clean electrical energy. It's high-risk, high-reward research, but new approaches are needed for energy storage and for making useful organic molecules without fossil fuels."

Software features and inherent risks: NIST's guide to rating software vulnerabilities from misuse

Software features and inherent risks: NIST's guide to rating software vulnerabilities from misuse [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 26-Jul-2012

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)

A new guide from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describes a "scoring system" that computer security managers can use to assess the severity of security risks arising from software features that, while beneficial to accomplishing a task, are at least partially designed under an assumption that users are operating these features as intended.

NIST's Common Misuse Scoring System (CMSS) provides a systematic way for organizations to determine the severity of software feature misusedangerous or illicit email practices, for exampleso that the organization can determine how to handle the problem.

"No system is 100 percent secure: every system has vulnerabilities," according to the report. While attention often focuses on software flaws, for example system crashes, software features also introduce vulnerabilities because intentional or accidental misuses of software features have the potential to leak sensitive information, corrupt data, or reduce system availability.

NIST categorizes software vulnerabilities in three general categories. Software flawscoding errors that allow security breachesare an obvious problem. Configuration vulnerabilities come from setting the software up improperlyallowing a program access to data it shouldn't see, for instance. But software feature misuse is more subtle. With feature misuse, savvy attackers violate the trust assumptions that are inherent in software features to subvert a system's security.

For example, malicious users may undermine the security of email software. "Two common problems are social engineering and insider threats," explained Karen Scarfone, one of the publication's authors. When users open up a bad email attachment or link, the hackers who sent the email can access the organization's computer network to steal valuable information or bring it down. Malicious users can use email attachments to send out valuable company data or documents to outsiders. Both problems can be very expensive, costing a company money, exposing valuable data and hurting the company's reputation.

The CMSS specification allows the risk assessment manager to determine a vulnerability's potential impact on the network and then take remediation steps to secure the system.

The CMSS specification is designed to work with existing scoring systems developed by NIST to categorize software flaw vulnerabilities* and security configuration issues.**

my1login


Some password managers store your encrypted data locally, some keep it in the cloud, and others do both. The free my1login tool is so thoroughly cloud-based that it doesn't even install a local client. You can use it with any browser, under any operating system, as long as that browser supports Javascript and bookmarks. It's not quite as automated as some solutions, but it's an interesting approach.

Layered Security
When you create your free my1login account, you'll define both a password and a key phrase. The password lets you log in to the site and connect with your encrypted passwords store, while the key phrase is used in local decryption of those passwords.

Logging in is an unusual process. To eliminate the possibility of password capture using a keylogger or screen scraper, the site does not ask you to enter the password. Rather, it requests the letters at specific character locations, entered by selecting from a drop-down menu. There's nothing for a keylogger to capture, and it'd be tough for a screen scraper to identify exactly what you selected from the menu. I did find myself counting on my fingers quite a bit, to figure out which is the tenth or fifteenth character.

The key phrase creation page recommends using a long phrase, and spaces are permitted. If you're a fast typist you can create a lengthy key phrase that would be tough for any malefactors to guess. And if you're really worried about keyloggers you can enter it using a virtual keyboard.

Once you've authenticated yourself to the site, the site authenticates itself to you. At the time you create your account, you're assigned a special icon that appears in the top right corner of my1login's pages. If you don't see that icon, you've been duped into connecting with a fraudulent copy of the site. This kind of phishing protection is similar to the SiteKey system used by many banks and credit card companies.

Password Management
If you're accustomed to using a fully automated password manager like LastPass 2.0 (free, 5 stars) or RoboForm Everywhere 7 ($19.95/year direct, 4.5 stars), you may find my1login just slightly tedious. Because it doesn't install a local client or browser plug-in, it can't automatically capture passwords as you log in. You must enter each password manually.

You enter the login URL, a name for the entry, the username, and the password. You can optionally add tags for searching, or a free-form note. In the standard free edition, your saved password bookmarks appear in a searchable alphabetic list. If you pay $2 per month for the Pro edition, you get the option to organize them into a multi-layer folder structure.

With mSecure Password Manager ($19.95 direct, 2 stars), both password capture and playback are fully manual. My1login manages to automate the login process using a bookmarklet. That's a tiny piece of Javascript, small enough that the whole thing fits in a bookmark.

The first time you use my1login in a particular browser, you must drag the my1click bookmarklet onto the browser's bookmarks bar. To use one of your saved bookmarks you first click it within the list and then click the bookmarklet button. LastPass and RoboForm both offer a bookmarklet option for use in unsupported browsers or on systems where you don't have permission to install a plug-in.

My contacts at the company say the product roadmap includes "some fantastic upcoming functionality including the capability to handle non-standard and multi-page login forms." At present, it strictly handles standard logins, which admittedly are used by the vast majority of secure sites.

You can directly import passwords from RoboForm, KeePass, and Clipperz, or from a CSV file. I had no trouble exporting my LastPass passwords to CSV and importing them to my1login, though understandably those for sites with non-standard logins didn't work.

In addition to the password-filling bookmarklet, LastPass includes one to fill Web forms with user-defined personal data. My1login focuses strictly on passwords, not on form filling. According to CEO Michael Newman, "We feel that in order to help password managers become better embraced by the mainstream population, improving their security, it is important to focus our service on the core proposition of password management."

Sprint Jumps on the Usage-Based Insurance Bandwagon

U.S. wireless operator Sprint last week announced that it will market end-to-end usage-based insurance (UBI) services designed specifically for the auto insurance industry.

Sprint has already worked with Esurance on a pilot program in Arizona. ?Based on the success of that program, Esurance recently launched its first UBI offering for consumers in Texas,? said Sprint.

This new B2B service by Sprint comes on the heels of the acquisition of Hugues Telematics (read here) by Sprint?s competitor Verizon Wireless. Hugues Telematics is known for providing U.S. insurer State Farm with its UBI solution (read here).

Atlassian Expands Its Board, Appoints Former SuccessFactors Chair Doug Burgum As Chairman

doug burgumAtlassian, the maker of popular software project management tools JIRA and Confluence, has doubled the size of its board of directors, adding three new members, including a new chairman. Previously, the board consisted of co-founders and co-CEOs Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes, as well as Rich Wong from Accel Partners. (Accel provided Atlassian's $60 million Series A round of funding.) Apparently the board had no formal chairman, and Farquhar and Cannon-Brookes traded off serving as unofficial chair -- because hey, if you're already serving as co-CEOs, why not share chairman duties too? But a company spokesperson tells me Atlassian saw expanding the board as "a necessary step" in the company's growth.

A look at the burning issues for NFL teams as they head into training camp

Image: Jerry JonesAP

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones speaks to reporters during practice at Cowboys Stadium on May 30.

updated 2:39 p.m. ET July 19, 2012

Jelisa Castrodale

Editor's note: Jelisa Castrodale is taking her own particular look at all 32 NFL teams as they head into training camps. Half the teams now, half next week.

Five and a half months have passed since Ahmad Bradshaw left his buttprint in the Lucas Oil end zone, giving the New York Giants a 21-17 Super Bowl lead.? The Giants held on for 57 seconds and another season ended with commemorative T-shirts in one locker room, excuses in the other, and an angry supermodel somewhere in the luxury boxes.

So after being pigskin-starved since the beginning of February, Football Christmas is almost here! NFL training camps are either already open Buffalo's rookies reported (July 9) and until July 29 (for Oakland and anyone on the Cowboys who hasn't assaulted his own mom).

A look at key issues for each team as they pack up their training gear and teddy bears and head to camp. We've waited long enough, let's get to it.

Arizona Cardinals
Kevin Kolb and John Skelton will face off for the starting quarterback slot and both options are so terrible, it's like trying to decide on a favorite skin rash. What's more remarkable than Kolb somehow trading his 58.5 percent completion percentage in Philly (where he had 11 TDs and 14 INTs in three seasons) for a $65 million deal in Arizona is that, statistically, Matt Leinart looks better than either of them. That sound you just heard was coach Ken Whisenhunt dry heaving.

Atlanta Falcons
What do Barney Fife's gun and the Falcons' postseasons have in common? They can't get past one round. (If you're, like, 74 years old, you just laughed so hard).

Baltimore Ravens
Under first-year defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, the Ravens were again a top-three defense, holding opponents to 16.6 points and 288.9 yards per game. Pagano has now inherited the collection of leftovers and ligaments that used to be the Indianapolis Colts, so it will be interesting to see how Baltimore's consistently run-stuffing defense changes ? or doesn't ? under newly promoted defensive coordinator Dean Pees. Also, Dean Pees is both a name and a complete sentence.

Buffalo Bills
Despite signing defensive end Mario Williams, locking down No. 1 receiver/end zone charades player Stevie Jones and hiring a new quarterbacks coach to bring some consistency to Ryan Fitzpatrick's right arm, going into camp, the Buffalo media is focusing on the fact that no one on the team has been arrested since 2009. No, really.

Carolina Panthers
The Panthers hope to build on the promise Cam Newton showed as Rookie of the Year, where he and a recharged Steve Smith put the Cats at fifth in the league in points scored and seventh in yards. Also, the team changed their logo in the offseason, trading the old Panthers for one that is "more aggressive and contemporary," graphic designer talk for "we shaved its eyebrows off." That's obviously worth an extra two wins.

Chicago Bears
Brian Urlacher said that this season ? and this roster ? gives the Bears the "best chance (they've) had to win it" in his 12 years wearing a stylized C over his ears. Earl Bennett says they're the best team in the NFC North, which are big words coming from a dude who has 17 career starts.

Cincinnati Bengals
The Bengals would like to remind everyone they haven't had an arrest this week, either.

Denver Broncos

There are vampire movies that don't focus on one person's neck the way we'll all stare at Peyton Manning's.

Cleveland Browns
Cleveland is coming off a 4-12 season, when it ranked 29th in offense, 30th in points scored (13.6) and 29th in yards per game (288). The only Browns-related offensive play I remember is the one where Pittsburgh's James Harrison used Colt McCoy as a lawn dart. So who will be the starting QB at the end of camp: McCoy or this year's winner of the Chris Weinke award, 28-year-old rookie Brandon Weeden? (My money's on B-Weed. Also, if you pass me your money, I won't use the phrase 'B-Weed' again).

Dallas Cowboys
A month ago, Dez Bryant was expected to slip past Miles Austin and become the team's top receiver. Owner Jerry Jones said that Bryant "certainly is different as far as his maturity ? than when he got here," which proves Jerry shouldn't add "soothsayer" to his LinkedIn profile.

Instead, they might lose Bryant to a Goodell-mandated time out, after already losing Laurent Robinson ? last season's unexpected success story ? to Jacksonville. I'm imagining Jerry sitting in his office, pressing both sides of his forehead in an attempt to move some part of his face into an expression of concern.

Detroit Lions
When asked who's the better fantasy option, Arizona's Larry Fitzgerald suggested that owners should snag Detroit's Calvin Johnson instead of him. "Megatron and Matthew Stafford have a great connection up there in Detroit," Fitzgerald said, noting Arizona had "some questions right now." He's right: Stafford passed for more than 5,000 yards last season, which led to a career year from Johnso ? hey, seriously, can someone go check on Ken Whisenhunt?

Green Bay Packers
More accurately, the G-een ?ay Packe-s, since they don't have an RB. On top of that, their defense couldn't stop a pass from a drunken Kardashian, but does that matter? Not unless Aaron Rodgers arm snaps off, not when he has a bazillion receiving options and is coming off a 45 TD, 6 INT season that set a record for single-season passer rating (122.5).

Houston Texans
Despite missing time with a bum hamstring, Arian Foster still led the Texans in rushing and finished one catch behind TE Owen Daniels on the receiving leaders list. Last week, he tweeted he'd converted to veganism, which shouldn't be a problem until Week 12, when he's devoured by Ndamukong Suh. (CARNIVORE > HERBIVORE).

Jacksonville Jaguars
A 5-11 season, last in the league in total offense and passing offense, and Blaine Gabbert sprawled at the bottom of most statistical categories: Have the Jags considered removing their logo's eyebrows?

Indianapolis Colts
The last time this many Colts left the city at once, a fleet of Mayflower trucks were involved (SORRY BALTIMORE).? Day One at camp will just involve new coach Chuck Pagano passing out Sharpies and a roll of "Hello, My Name Is ?" stickers. Andrew Luck will get two: one for himself and one for that stack of comparisons to Peyton's rookie season.

Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs are a Matt Cassel injury from adding "The Brady Quinn Era" to their team history.? After releasing Tyler Palko, third on the depth chart is a Joe Montana jersey they bought on eBay. GENTLY USED!

We'll be back next week to cover Miami through Washington and ? aw, hell, Whisenhunt just shaved his own eyebrows off.

Frugal Family Tree: CA State Fair Red Cup Showdown Competition ...


Over the weekend I had the most awesome fair experience ever! I had the chance to attend the Seattle's Best Red Cup Showdown Competition. My husband and I go every year to the CA State Fair to celebrate the anniversary of our first date. This year was 14 years since our first date, it was a wonderful and memorable way to celebrate. Our son is only 2 1/2 so my husband and son arrived at the end of the competition, just in time to hear the winners announced. I was there from the beginning. Even having a chance to chat with the adorable Jeff Mauro, the Sandwich King before the event started. He is so personable and funny. A perfect host for a fun competition like the #RedCupShowdown.

The event was held in the grandstand of the Cal Expo Horse Track. We have been there a few times to watch the horse races. This was the first time I have attended a food competition. I love to watch the cooking shows on Food Network and of course Sandwich King is one of them. Seeing it in person was awesome. The jokes Jeff told, the stories the contestants shared about the inspiration of their drinks and the smell of coffee in the air made it just about perfect.

The contestants from all over California had 5 minutes to make their drink from brew to final touches. It was exciting to watch the contestants in action. Before the competition started I sat down with a contestant to ask her a few questions about why she was competing and little about her. Her name is Kathleen and is from Sacramento, born and raised. She told me her inspiration story for her Seattle's Best Coffee Red Cup Showdown entry.

Here is what Kathleen wrote for the inspiration for her drink:

"Coffee comforts me. Coffee is memories of laughing and sharing with my family, those here and those gone, holidays, and Sunday mornings. Coffee is home and all that that means to me."

Her drink is inspired by Black Cake, a story and recipe that New Yorker Laurie Colwin shared in her book, Home Cooking, A Writer in the Kitchen. Laurie Colwin wrote for the New Yorker and Gourmet magazines about cooking while she cooked and told family stories over a cup of coffee. Kathleen was inspired to recreate the Black Cake in a coffee cup. She named it Orange Spice Brulot, for the burnt sugar ingredient, the translation in French.

This is what Kathleen said Black Cake is and how it tastes:

"Black Cake is a traditional West Indian fruitcake. It is made with burnt sugar, spices, and fruit all soaked in wine and rum. Orange Spice Brulot has the richness of coffee, the m?lange of spices, the sweet candied orange, and the infusion of orange scented cream. The result is dark, burnt sugar sweetness with the intensity of a Black Cake."

After having the pleasure of meeting Kathleen I asked her if I could share her recipe with the readers of my blog. The scent of her drink as she made it for the judges filled the air. Its was wonderful!

Here is Kathleen's Recipe for Orange Spice Brulot:

?Ingredients:
1-cup Demerara sugar crystals

oranges into strips. Boil ?-cup water in saucepan, add peels and cook for one minute.

saucepan and bring to boil. Add cooked, drained, orange peels. Lower heat and simmer
for 15 minutes. Remove peels and place on parchment paper to dry for one hour. Place

over. Stir until syrup dissolved. Add Orange Infused Half and Half to taste. Garnish

Savor.





After the 3 Rounds of Competitors made their drinks and the judges sampled them, Jeff and the other two judges took a break to go make their decisions. Everyone in the audience had their favorite entries from their stories, mine of course being my new friend Kathleen. Finally they judges came back to announce third, second and first place. I was thrilled when they announced Kathleen had won second place!!! I was so happy for her. The first place winner Liz from Lodi CA was very nervous about her entry, she almost left the competition! Thankfully she stayed and went on with the competition. Her drink was a Caramel Apple Coffee Drink, I thought it sounded perfect for a fair, who does not love a caramel apple at the fair. It just goes to show anyone to not doubt themselves, that we are our own worst critic! It definitely inspired me to realize we have to step outside our comfort zone sometimes to really shine. Congrats Liz, we will be cheering for you to win in New York.





After the competition my husband, son and I all headed to the Seattle's Best Coffee booth on the fairgrounds. We had the chance to get our picture taken in the Red Cup, spin the Seattle's Best wheel for prizes, taste a few of the Seattle's Best Coffee fair drinks and were given samples of the coffee to brew at home.




Seattle's Best Coffee is delicious and affordable. You can find it at Walmart and often coupons for the coffee in the Sunday paper. If you missed the Seattle's Best Coffee Red Cup Showdown at the CA State Fair, dont worry, Jeff Mauro and the Seattle's Best team will be traveling to more state fairs. There is still time (until July 27th to enter your recipe online at the Seattle's Best Facebook page under the Red Cup Showdown page.
