College football conference call

Conference call in college football:

Big 12

RISING: K-State's Collin Klein took the lead in the weekly Heisman watch with a seven touchdown performance - three passing and four rushing - in the Wildcats' 55-14 victory at West Virginia. He threw for a career-best 323 yards and was named the Walter Camp National Player of the Week.

FALLING: Texas' 56-50 victory over Baylor continues the trend of horrid defenses by both. The Bears have surrendered 25 touchdowns in three league games. Texas has given up 50, 63 and 45 in its last three. The Longhorns needed all five of Joe Bergeron's rushing touchdowns.

Southeastern Conference

RISING: LSU is growing stronger. Texas A&M jumped ahead 12-0 (uh, oh, another double-digit lead for the Aggies) only to have the Tigers roar back for 24-19 victory at Kyle Field. After a shaky beginning, the Bayou Bengals' defense buckled down and quarterback Zach Mettenberger took command.

FALLING: Steve Spurrier doesn't like unproductive quarterbacks, and he got on Conner Shaw after the 44-11 loss at Florida. Spurrier didn't like that Shaw "was running all over the place." Dylan Thompson played the second half, and Spurrier didn't name a starter going forward.

Big Ten

RISING: Penn State's Bill O'Brien is getting buzz as a top national coach of the year candidate, and the Nittany Lions are getting better by the week. They walloped Iowa 38-14 at Iowa City, setting up this week's showdown with Ohio State at Happy Valley.

FALLING: Northwestern coughed up a 12-point fourth quarter lead and fell at home to Nebraska 29-28 as the Cornhuskers avenged one of their most disappointing losses of 2011. The Wildcats surrendered two touchdowns in the final six minutes.

Pac-12

RISING: Has Matt Barkley moved into second in the Heisman chase? He completed 20 of 21 passes for 298 yards and six touchdowns against lowly Colorado. Barkley now owns the Pac-12 record for scoring passes at 102. Top target Robert Woods caught eight passes for 132 yards.

FALLING: California's fade continues. The Golden Bears lost the Big Game to Stanford and need to win three of their final four games to become bowl eligible.

ACC

RISING: Duke is eligible for a bowl game for the first time since 1994 with a dramatic 33-30 victory over rival North Carolina. It was the Blue Devils' first victory over the Tar Heels in Wallace Wade Stadium since 1998.

FALLING: Virginia Tech has won at least 10 games in each of the past eight seasons. But this isn't a vintage Frank Beamer team. The Hokies made all kinds of mistakes in a 38-17 smackdown at Clemson.

Big East

RISING: Louisville's 27-25 victory over South Florida was closer than expected, but quarterback Teddy Bridgewater came up big. He completed his first 11 passes and finished 21 of 25 for 256 yards.

FALLING: The undefeated three are down to Rutgers and Louisville after Cincinnati was stung by Toledo 29-23. The good news for the Bearcats is they remain unbeaten in league play at 1-0.

Others

RISING: Louisiana Tech got back on the horse after last week's loss to Texas A&M and pounded Idaho 70-24. The offense was balanced, 431 yards through the air, 408 on the ground. The 839 total yards were most in a Division I game this season.

FALLING: Is anybody playing defense in Texas? SMU beat Houston 72-42 on Thursday as Mustangs quarterback Garrett Gilbert, the former Longhorn, threw for four touchdown passes. Houston committed nine turnovers.

Kofi Annan: 'I'm Dead Certain' Military ... - News From Antiwar.com

Former Secretary General of the United Nations Kofi Annan warned in an interview that will air on Sunday, that military intervention in Syria by the major powers will not work and ?will make the situation much worse.?

On his CNN show, Fareed Zakaria asked Annan, who recently served as UN envoy to Syria in an attempt to reach a negotiated settlement to stop the bloody civil conflict, whether military intervention could work as a solution.

?I?m dead certain it will not work,? Annan said. ?It will make the situation much worse.?

?First of all, Libya ? people refer to Libya as an example. Syria is not Libya.?Syria is located in one of the most volatile regions of the world. Syria is next to Iraq, next to Lebanon, where we have had major problems.?And in a region where you have all sorts of jihadist elements, and as we know they?ve been crossing into Syria. And because of the nature of Syrian society, which is a mosaic.?

Annan also derided the claims among some in the major powers that ?something? or some kind of intervention must be done in order to stem the violence.

These are the same groups of people, he said, ?that propagated the idea that any attempt to mediate gives Assad more time to kill.? This ?is a piece of unmitigated nonsense,? adding that statements to this effect from GOP vice presidential contender Paul Ryan were ?dead wrong.?

Annan has voiced these views before. All the way back in March, he warned not only against direct military intervention, but also against foreign meddling and arming of insurgent and rebel groups by various countries.

Early this month, Syrian officials reiterated similar arguments. In a speech at the UN, the Syrian Deputy Prime Minister, Walid Al-Moualem said,??the success of any international effort requires, in addition to the commitment of the Syrian Government, committing the states supporting armed groups in my country, particularly Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Libya and others, to stop arming, funding, training and harbouring armed terrorist groups, and instead to encourage dialogue and renounce violence.?

Annan?s views are compatible with what?Prof.?Eva Bellin and Prof. Peter Krause?in the Middle East Brief from Brandeis University?found in their study?of the Syria situation: ?The distillation of historical experience with civil war and insurgency, along with a sober reckoning of conditions on the ground in Syria, make clear that limited intervention of this sort will not serve the moral impulse that animates it. To the contrary, it is more likely to amplify the harm that it seeks to eliminate by prolonging a hurting stalemate.?

Here is a segment of the interview (go here to view the other segment).

UW & CSU Delay Ranch Sale Amid Lawsuit

(File Photo: Trevor T. Trujillo, Townsquare Media)

A lawsuit is postponing plans by both the University of Wyoming Foundation and the Colorado State University Foundation to sell a ranch they jointly own in southeast Wyoming.

The foundations announced the postponement Friday, saying the lawsuit could affect the marketability of the Y Cross Ranch. ?Unsealing of the bids on the ranch had been scheduled for Nov. 13 and now will wait until the lawsuit?s resolution.

Denver philanthropist Amy Davis sued last month. ?The Y Cross had belonged to Davis? family before she donated it to the foundations in 1997.

Davis wants a court to rescind the gift agreement and establish a trust to ensure that the ranch is used for agriculture education. ?Foundation officials say the ranch wasn?t a practical place for learning and say the sale would fund agriculture scholarships.

Copyright Alert System Coming Within Weeks | Billboard.biz

American Internet users can expect to start seeing notifications from their Internet service providers if they trade files on peer-to-peer networks.???

A blog post by Jill Lesser, executive director of the Center for Copyright Information, revealed the long-awaited Copyright Alert System (CAS) will begin "in the coming weeks" and provided some details about the partnership with ISPs to deter subscribers from infringement over peer-to-peer networks.

ISPs to Roll Out Copyright Alert Systems This Year, CCI's New Executive Director Says

In the coming weeks, participating ISPs will launch its version of the CAS. Each system allows content owners to send infringement notices to subscribers via the ISP. When infringing activity continues, CAS will send "enhanced alerts" that vary by ISP but range from a requirement that a subscriber review educational material to temporary throttling of the subscriber's Internet speed.

The CCI member companies include the RIAA, the MPAA and five major Internet service providers: Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, Cablevision and Time Warner Cable.

Consumers and critics may find some comfort in the steps the CCI has taken to ensure fairness. For starters, unlike anti-piracy efforts in other countries, CAS is not a "strikeout" program that will result in termination of an account. In addition, CCI has retained Stroz Friedberg to ensure MarkMonitor's system for identifying alleged infringement is accurate and works properly.

The CAS is the result of a 2011 memorandum of understanding between a group of U.S. Internet service providers, the MPAA and the RIAA that outlined the system for alerting subscribers of their infringing behavior and educating them on alternatives. Lesser was hired as executive director in April. She was previously Deputy Director of Public Policy and Director of the Civic Media Project at the advocacy group People for the American Way.

Computers and Technology: Computer Security In Today's Society ...

Advances in computer technology is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it affords us quick and easy access to numerous conveniences such as bank statements, favorite shopping centers, school and health records, and more. On the other hand, it can also grant the same access to those who aren't supposed to get it. Although it's a rare occurrence, hacking has become the biggest criminal nuisance in computer history.

Make no bones about it. There's nothing innocent or cute about the hacker. Today's hackers aren't the pimply-faced teen rebels that you might be thinking of. Instead, this generation of hackers are grown individuals who are more than likely earning a living by stealing the identities of innocent, law abiding individuals and then selling those identities to others who want to slip by the system. And the only protection against these seedy people is prevention.

Computer security couldn't be more important than it is today and that's why we've taken the time to introduce it to you. You can reduce the probability of experiencing identity theft by making your computer as hacker-proof as possible. All that's needed is a little software and a lot of common sense.

1. Install an anti-virus/anti-spyware program. Anti-virus/anti-spyware software will stop malicious code from downloading and installing onto your computer while you peruse the Internet. Known as viruses, worms, or spyware, this malicious code can destroy important files and render your computer good for only one thing: sending sensitive data back to the server of an identity thief.

2. Don't store sensitive data on your computer in the first place. Should your computer get infected with a virus, worm, or piece of spyware, you can thwart the individuals responsible by not storing your personal information on your PC so that when and if your computer does send back data - it won't be anything valuable. Hackers look for things like full names, social security numbers, phone numbers, home addresses, work-related information, and credit card numbers. If these things aren't saved onto a computer, there's nothing critical to worry about other than restoring your computer to a non-virus condition.

3. Don't open files without scanning them with an anti-virus/anti-spyware program. In the past, the warning was to avoid opening files from people that you don't know. Today it's really not safe to open files from anyone (without scanning the files) because that's how viruses get spread - through files - even by mistake. So even though your co-worker may have emailed a funny video, it's no more safe to open than a video downloaded from a complete stranger. Be safe and scan each and every file you download from the Internet or receive through email regardless of where it came from.

4. Create a barrier between your computer and prying eyes. Anti-virus/anti-spyware programs are only effective after the effect. But you can prevent identity theft from occurring by installing a firewall. A firewall is software that checks all data entering and exiting a computer and it then blocks that which doesn't meet specified security criteria (user-defined rules).1

5. Don't click on website links in spam messages. In an effort to obtain personal information, some spammers will send email that asks you to click on a link. The email messages are often disguised as important messages from well-known online establishments, and they often try to scare their readers into clicking links with threats of closing an account of some sort. Sometimes the links are harmless and attempt to con the reader into volunteering personal information (credit card number), but other times the links attempt to download harmful software onto a computer.

Your best protection against computer crimes is your own knowledge. Hopefully the suggestions above will prompt you into taking appropriate action and into protecting your computer with the suggested tools. In doing so, you'll not only protect yourself, you'll prevent the spread of these malicious activities and protect others at the same time.
