Ranking the fantasy football players for Week 1

Wednesday, September 05, 2012

Wednesday's NFL opener marks the 10th anniversary of Rotoworld's weekly Goal Line Stand rankings. For the first time in a decade the ranks will be without the voice of Gregg Rosenthal, who has moved on to run NFL.com's Around the League?coverage.

The good news is that I joined Rosenthal as a Goal Line Stand partner two years ago, learning at the knee of the master. In a similar vein, Mike Clay will climb aboard this year as Rotoworld follows the NFL's tandem attack lead. Mike has over five years of experience ranking players for sites such as the esteemed Pro Football Focus. As long as Mike and I don't fumble Rosenthal's baton, the transition should be as smooth as Montana-Young or Manning-Luck. ?

Before finalizing your lineup choices each week, be sure to consult Evan Silva's brilliant Matchups column -- the best of its kind on the internet. More research hours are devoted to Matchups than any single article on Rotoworld, and it shows. Here is Silva's early-week breakdown of Cowboys @ Giants.?

We are posting the ranks early this week for those owners deliberating players from tonight's game. I will post rankings and analysis every Thursday by 1 pm ET, including tomorrow's update with notes. For additional insight, including early-week rankings, exclusive stat tools, weekly projections, top 200 ranks, schedule analysis and premium Dynasty league coverage, check out our Season Pass.?

HTC Schedules September 19th Event, Expect Windows Phone 8 Devices

HTC is having a party and the media is invited. Scheduled for September 19th in New York City, it's highly likely that HTC will debut Windows Phone 8 devices at this event. The rumor mill has been slow to churn out a high volume of HTC rumors as of late, but the time frame seems right for a Windows Phone 8 device. If HTC does reveal its upcoming Windows 8 devices, chances are they will not be available immediately. The mobile platform, and launch devices from HTC and Nokia, are expected to launch alongside Windows 8 in November.

Virus origin in Gulf computer attacks questioned

3 hrs.

Adam Schreck , AP

Security technicians?are beginning to suspect that highly targeted virus attacks were behind the recent crippling of computer systems at two major Gulf energy companies, even as questions swirl about the source of the strikes.

The computer disruptions at state oil giant Saudi Aramco and Qatari natural gas producer RasGas do not appear to have affected oil and gas production. Yet they highlight another risk to the security of energy supplies in the Persian Gulf region.

Neither company has said how much data may have been lost, but the scope of the attacks appears extensive. Aramco blocked all its electronic systems from outside access for several days to deal with the problem, which it says affected about 30,000 workstations last month. RasGas technicians were still working to fix that company's systems more than a week after being hit.

Although pinpointing culprits in the shadowy world of Internet crime is tricky, some experts believe that Iran ? itself the victim of multiple computer attacks ? may have played a role. Others aren't so sure, saying there isn't enough evidence. That may be partly by design, as the virus thought to be involved in at least one of the attacks covers its tracks by erasing data on computer hard drives.

The attacks may not be over. Security and data storage company Symantec said this week that it is investigating reports of additional infections involving the virus at the center of what security experts refer to as the Shamoon attacks. It's widely believed to be responsible for the Aramco disruption, and several security experts suspect it in the Qatar attack.

The virus can spread through networked computers and ultimately wipes out files by overwriting them ? sometimes leaving behind an image of a burning American flag.

Aviv Raff, the chief technology officer of Israeli computer security firm Seculert, said other companies outside the energy industry have also been affected, though confidentiality agreements prevent him from providing details.

Saudi Aramco revealed that its network was infected on Aug. 15 when it announced it was disconnecting all its computer systems from outside access.

Two previously unknown groups immediately claimed responsibility for the Aramco attack in statements posted to a website often used by computer hackers. One of the groups, the Cutting Sword of Justice, said it was avenging what it called Saudi support for "crimes and atrocities" in Syria, Bahrain and other Arab countries.

Aramco said late last month that it had managed to restore all network services after cleaning computers affected by what it called "a malicious virus that originated from external sources." Key oil exploration and production operations had been unaffected because they use isolated computer networks, it said.

Unlike viruses that aim to hit as many targets as possible, this one appears designed to cripple computers on specific networks identified by the culprits, said Bulent Teksoz, chief security strategist for emerging markets at Symantec. He declined to name the affected organizations.

Some researchers, such as Raff, suspect the memory-wiping mechanism was simply a way to remove evidence of earlier incursions, during which hackers might have stolen information or rerouted network traffic.

Last week, Qatar's RasGas disclosed an Aug. 27 attack by an unknown virus on its office computer systems. Technicians were still working to get the system running again. RasGas, a partnership between state-run Qatar Petroleum and U.S. oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp., said gas production has not been affected.

Exxon Mobil spokeswoman Adrienne Fleming declined to comment on the virus or whether the oil company itself had been hit, citing a company practice of not discussing security issues.

Even less is known about the RasGas infection. Like Aramco, the company has not publicly identified the virus responsible. But several security experts suspect the attacks are related, given the timing and the apparent similarity of the infections.

"My guess would be that it was another Shamoon attack," said Jeffrey Carr, the head of Taia Global, a computer security firm in McLean, Virginia.

Carr believes hackers working on behalf of the Iranian government were behind both attacks. He notes similarities between Shamoon and a virus that previously struck Iran, suggesting that Iran-linked hackers may have created Shamoon by adapting computer code from the earlier virus.

A number of Iranian groups have the skills to carry out an attack of this scope and may be using false claims of responsibility to obscure Tehran's involvement, he said.

Iranian officials have not commented publicly on the latest viruses to hit the region. But Iran appears to be building up corps of pro-regime hackers, including a secretive "Cyber Army" thought to be linked to the country's powerful Revolutionary Guard. Lebanon's Iran-backed militant Hezbollah group is also believed to count skilled hackers among its ranks.

Tehran has been on the receiving end of a series of computer attacks in recent years.

Iranian technicians cut off Internet links to Iran's Oil Ministry, rigs and the hub for nearly all the country's crude exports earlier this year as they tried to battle malicious software known as Flame, which was able to steal information and spy on users.

In 2010, a virus called Stuxnet tailored to disrupt Iran's nuclear centrifuges caused some setbacks within its uranium enrichment labs and infected an estimated 16,000 computers, Iranian officials say.

Alexander Klimburg, a computer security expert at the Austrian Institute for International Affairs, said the latest attacks against Saudi Arabia and Qatar are more complex than those typically employed by "hacktivist" groups seeking to highlight particular political or social causes.

He agrees that Iran might be involved, though he acknowledges it is difficult to know for sure.

"There has been an Iranian strategy ... to interrupt the flow of oil out of the Strait of Hormuz," he said. "Nobody's ever said they'd do it just with fast boats," a reference to the armed Revolutionary Guard craft that ply the Persian Gulf.

But other experts have their doubts.

Vitaly Kamluk, chief malware expert at Russian security company Kaspersky Lab, said that while the attacks appear to be acts of sabotage, there was no firm evidence that they were linked, nor was it known who exactly might be behind them.

"Attribution," he said, "is extremely hard in cyberspace."

Sushi And The Japanese Diet | Health and Fitness Blog

There are lots of factors which all have resulted in the continually increasing unhealthy weight gain of the American population. Careers are much less physically demanding. Spare-time activities are much less physically active. Sedentary home entertainment is amazingly alluring, and calorie rich processed foods are always available.

As a result, most adults, at some point or another, contend with issues of weight loss, nutritional value, and overall health. It\?s actually no surprise that various and sundry diet programs are a part of popular culture. The Atkins Diet is well known, and who hasn\?t got word of a low carbo diet plan? There\?s even a cookie weight loss plan.

With this country\?s weight problem so interwoven with our culture, it might be a good idea to look to other civilizations that do not exhibit these problems. It would not be useful to seek answers in rural nations. Clearly, reworking our entire financial system around weight reduction and health is not likely. So, let\?s look at other nations with similar economies to ours.

Why not consider Japan? The small island nation is unquestionably a high tech, service oriented economy just like our own. Although, aside from the Sumo Wrestler, the Japanese are not thought of as dealing with a weight issue.

Let us start by checking out the quintessential Japanese food: Sushi. Is sushi healthy? Sushi is made up of small servings of rice (carbs) and fish. Fish is nearly pure protein. Despite the fact that some fish is fatty, most fish isn\?t. Low fat fish includes tuna, albacore, halibut, red-snapper, and shellfish.

Although, some sushi may be fattening. Stay clear of rolls with mayonnaise or other elements that include unhealthy fat, including Philadelphia rolls or tempura rolls. Stay with the straightforward, traditional rolls consisting of rice and fish. The smaller the quantity of rice, the better.

Could sushi be the secret to Japanese weight control? The food balances reasonable carbs along with a low-fat, high protein fish. Undoubtedly, there are lots of other variables, however eating sushi certainly can\?t hurt.

The Way We Work: Graduating Job Hunters Play Waiting Game at ...

Many college graduates are finding themselves in a decidedly retro phenomenon, where economic independence starts from the security of their parents' homes.

"What seems to be changing is not that kids are returning home for a while after college, but how long they are living at home before they can leave," said Lawrence Levy, executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies at Long Island's Hofstra University. That could have widespread implications for local communities.

Changing economic dynamics and cultural shifts are among the reasons experts cite for the re-emergence of nuclear, multi-generational family homes not unlike family units of post-WWII America.

More Kids at Home, Less Stigma

A study by the Pew Research Center of U.S. Census data determined that 39 percent of adults (ages 18-34) live with a parent or moved back home at some point during recent years. Among those who have just graduated high school or college (ages 18-24) 53 percent lived at home or moved back temporarily.

Those figures represent the highest percent of Americans living in multi-generational homes since the 1950's, the Pew study said.

In many affluent suburbs, insecurity about economic prospects often predeominate: An extensive survey by the Stony Brook University Center for Survey Research from the fall of 2011 was a snapshot of life in post-recession suburbia: nearly 70 percent of the Long Island households surveyed with family incomes between $35,000-$100,000 annually reported some difficulty in meeting their monthly mortgage or rental payments.

An Associated Press report in April that said opportunities for college graduates vary widely. The report indicated that those with degrees in the arts and humanities may have a long wait ahead of them.

Levy's take: "These are not your mother's and father's suburbs."

In the Pew study, nearly half of these so-called "boomerang" children report paying rent to their parents and almost 90 percent have helped with household expenses.

The social stigma of living at home may also be disappearing, many experts report. The Pew study said about 75 percent of returning young people reported the living arrangements were either good (24 percent) or about the same as before they left (48 percent).

Many reported having college friends in the same circumstances and, unlike previous generations, the explosion of social media keeps them in touch with college friends who are far away.

Sharply Divided Generations

Levy is a Baby Boomer, and after college, he traveled a bit and moved back home briefly, but picking a career and moving out went together naturally. He spent 30 years as a journalist, eventually becoming chief political columnist at Newsday.

"It is clear that this (new) generation now faces much bigger debt, car loans and school loans, credit card costs," Levy said. Looking at his friends and neighbors, he sees suburban newcomers who are more comfortable with a multi-generational family arrangement than the previous generations that turned Long Island's farms into bedroom communities of shopping plazas and armies of commuters to Manhattan.

He might as well be talking about Laura Conte. "I'm still at home because I enjoy it," said the 24 year old a public relations specialist. "I do not make enough money to live on my own and save the way that I want to. My monthly bills are fairly low and I think it is more beneficial to save my money at this point."

Even the secure are staying home. For the last year, financial advisor Bryan Trugman, 29, is a practical, accomplished professional who understands the importance of saving for the future. Since graduating SUNY Binghamton, Trugman, who teaches others how to be responsible with money, first lived at home or with his dad and later shared a place with a brother. Now he has had his own place, an apartment in Plainview, a Long Island suburb about 30 miles east of Manhattan. But that is a recent development.

"It's financially challenging to enjoy a certain lifestyle while building a practice, and finding the time to pursue professional designations," he said.

In many ways Trugman is the norm among educated suburbanites who didn't want to leave their home communities and were willing to re-adjust to living with relatives. His approach can be strikingly pragmatic to people who think of the their 20s as a time to head out adventurously into the world and start a career.

For Conte, a 1950s-style scenario sounds just fine: "I would like to stay at home until I get married or save enough money to put a down payment on a house," the LIU Post graduate said. "Whichever happens first."

WorkSafe Vic no longer focussing on safety prosecutions in small ...

VICTORIA?S workplace safety watchdog has quietly shifted its prosecuting focus away from small and medium-sized companies ? where most workplace deaths and serious injuries occur! ? to large businesses. WorkSafe?s shift has taken big industry by surprise and infuriated unions, which believe the move will send a poor message to small and medium-sized businesses. The Australian Industry Group?s Victorian branch director, Tim Piper, said the same rigour should be applied to all businesses

The shift comes as WorkSafe?s successful prosecutions have dipped to 100 from a record high of 134 three years ago. Total fines against errant companies in the same period were $1.7 million down.

Only one in two WorkSafe investigations last financial year led to a prosecution or enforcement, the lowest rate in at least four years.

Unions, grieving families and workplace safety experts fear a growing timidity in WorkSafe?s approach to prosecution after an overhaul of its legal team in 2010 saw the organisation lose experienced occupational health and safety lawyers.

Sources within WorkSafe say the body needs better-quality investigators.

Louisa Giandinoto, who lost her father in a workplace accident, yesterday spent Father?s Day visiting his grave. She believes WorkSafe let her family down by not prosecuting the owner-builder from whose house roof John Giandinoto fell two years ago.

She understands her father shared responsibility for safety, but says he had little control over the site?s overall safety.

Amid their grief, Mr Giandinoto?s wife and daughters did not order an autopsy. So WorkSafe, which told The Age it had conducted a comprehensive investigation, told the family there was no evidence that he fell because of a safety issue ? it could have been a heart attack.

?He lost his life because of an unsafe site,? said Ms Giandinoto, 32. ?I feel that the owner-builder should still have responsibility for that. Unfortunately people take shortcuts to get the work done. No one thinks of the consequences or the loss that grieving families are left to deal with.?

A senior source within WorkSafe told The Age: ?We are scared to do the job, we are so risk averse. We are unable to do the job the way we did it a few years ago.?

In a statement to The Age, WorkSafe publicly revealed its new focus on larger companies. A spokesman said WorkSafe was now taking on ?larger, better-resourced businesses who have breached the law?.

WorkSafe sources say they believe big fines against large firms will send a strong message to all companies. Larger firms have no excuse to skimp on workplace safety, they say.

WorkSafe?s own figures show the highest rates of serious-injury claims are in medium-sized businesses that employ between 100 to 500 people and smaller businesses that employ between 20 and 100 people.

On injury rates Victoria has the safest workplaces in the country, but fatalities at work jumped last financial year to 24, a 25 per cent increase from the previous year.

WorkSafe?s shift has taken big industry by surprise and infuriated unions, which believe the move will send a poor message to small and medium-sized businesses. The Australian Industry Group?s Victorian branch director, Tim Piper, said the same rigour should be applied to all businesses.

Steve Dargavel, the Victorian secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, said the shift was outrageous and came on top of an increasingly risk-averse approach to prosecution. ?There are an awful lot of workers being killed and maimed for life in small to medium enterprises.?

Frank Cosentino spent Father?s Day without his son Joey, who died last year when his van blew up in a gas explosion. Mr Cosentino is still waiting on WorkSafe to decide whether to prosecute, almost nine months after the accident. Joey worked as a refrigerator mechanic for a small business.

?This is all about keeping people safe. When you lose a life, it doesn?t matter if they are going to work for a small business or a large business. They should be safe,? he said.

An Age analysis of WorkSafe?s prosecution rate revealed the organisation has been double-counting successful prosecutions. WorkSafe includes committals in its list of successful prosecutions, even though a person or company may be cleared at trial. Because of lags in the justice system, this also means Worksafe has been counting a committal to trial one year, then the result at trial the next year, thereby counting the one prosecution twice.

It also counts enforceable undertakings ? such as agreements by companies to improve safety equipment ? even when all charges have been withdrawn by WorkSafe and no prosecution has occurred.

When taking committals and enforceable undertakings out of its figures, WorkSafe actually conducted only 90 successful prosecutions last year, despite its target of 150. That was up from 64 in the year 2010-11 (compared to its official figure of 76) but down from 116 in 2009-10 (Worksafe?s figure: 134).

Labor?s spokesman for WorkSafe, Robin Scott, called on the minister, Gordon Rich-Phillips, to make WorkSafe give a clear explanation of its prosecution rates.

Phillip Priest, QC, an experienced occupational health and safety law barrister in prosecution and defence, said WorkSafe?s attitude to prosecution had changed for the better.

?They will not prosecute a case unless there?s evidence to support it,? he said.
