“Coin toss, failures on the ground plague Pitt on eve of Georgia Tech game - TribLIVE” plus 1 more Coin toss, failures on the ground plague Pitt on eve of Georgia Tech game - TribLIVE Posted: 31 Oct 2019 04:00 PM PDT Pat Narduzzi believes he has found a solution to the problem that has plagued his team longer than any other. The coin toss. Pitt has lost the past nine pregame coin tosses, dating to the Sun Bowl on New Year's Eve. How will he fix such a vexing problem? "I'm going to call 'Hails,' " he said. Pitt's coach was in a jocular mood Thursday when he met with reporters after most of the preparations for Saturday's game at Georgia Tech had been completed. He wasn't a fountain of information, declining to update the condition of running back Todd Sibley, who was helped from the field in the fourth quarter of the Miami game last week. But Narduzzi does like the progress the running game made...

We hear from our teams every day regarding how cyberthreats to our enterprise are getting more frequent, more sophisticated and more targeted. Cyber intrusions, specifically publicly reported incidents, are on the rise. It’s easy to tune the warnings out, but we must remain vigilant. Our responsibilities to our clients, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders depend on us remaining focused. As cyberattacks grow in volume and complexity, it’s time to face a hard truth: Humans are already not able to keep up with the pace of threats, and companies can't afford to keep up manually. Many, if not most IT teams do not have the resources to protect their enterprises, certainly not in real time. And in a world where minutes matter and thoroughness is paramount, we need to look at artificial intelligence (AI) to support and augment what we need to combat the bad actors. According to the Accenture Security Index, more than 70% of global organizations have difficulty identifying, ...

“Benton too much for Mountain Home - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette” plus 1 more Benton too much for Mountain Home - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Posted: 31 Oct 2019 12:34 AM PDT HOT SPRINGS -- Benton Coach Michelle Shoppach won four junior high conference volleyball championships, and after her team's thrilling comeback against Mountain Home on Wednesday, she may get a chance to play for a state title. The Lady Panthers battled back from a late four-point deficit in the fourth set to eventually beat the Lady Bombers 25-21, 19-25, 25-23, 27-25 in the quarterfinals of the Class 5A state tournament at Bank OZK Arena. "Our motto all year has been commit to grit," Shoppach said. "I've coached these kids since they were in the eighth grade, off and on. So I know they don't give up. "I've seen them get behind 24-17 and still win, but the fact that we got so far ahead in that last set kind of scared me." Big p...

But the persistent use of the trope of asylums — which has outlasted the use of these types of institutions — may be doing harm. Research indicates that such fiction stigmatizes mental health treatment and discourages Americans with mental illness from seeking the help they need. Today’s mental health treatments bear little resemblance to the asylums of yore. Despite touting fantastic “cure” rates, mental hospitals raised concern from the start. Former patients warned the public that these were oppressive places, where inmates lost all of their freedoms and became subject to confinement, purging, stultifying drugs and cruel attendants. Isaac Hunt captured the horrors of these institutions in a description of the Maine Insane Hospital in 1851. It was a “most iniquitous, villainous system of inhumanity, that would more than match the bloodiest, darkest days of the Inquisition or the tragedies of the Bastille.” It did not help that by the end of the 19th century, asylums became hopel...

An Ancestral Genome of The Plague Has Been Traced Back to Russia - ScienceAlert An Ancestral Genome of The Plague Has Been Traced Back to Russia - ScienceAlert Posted: 03 Oct 2019 12:00 AM PDT The Black Death was only the beginning. Countless millions perished in this terrible early wave – an estimated 60 percent of Europe was wiped out – but the virulent bacterium responsible was never actually contained. When the Black Death of the mid–14th century was over, Yersinia pestis was far from done, laying waste to human life for another 500 years. This grim, recurring saga of outbreaks – called the second plague pandemic – lasted until the 19th century. But where did its deadly antagonist originate? In a new study, an international team of scientists reconstructed 34 Y. pestis genomes sourced from the teeth of 34 individuals who died in 10 different countries – tracing a kind of genetic family tree of shadowy pestilence spanning the 1...
