Iowa City native. Great success at the D2 level. Would be my pick other than/maybe before DeVries.

Looking to Round 2, how does Teske match up with Crookham? Crookham beat Vito twice this year. Top 20 recruit. Looks like he redshirted last year. How would you gameplan him for Teske? As a starting point, do you try to keep it close and get a takedown at the end? Or do you let it fly with this guy? I’m thinking let it fly because that’s what Teske does best but what does anyone else think?

About half of Iowans approve of the work the state’s two U.S. senators are doing in Congress, according to a new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll.

But the share of Iowans who disapprove of Republican U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst has risen by 4 percentage points each since March 2023. And each senator lost ground with Republicans and evangelicals as a growing share of those groups say they disapprove of their job performances.

Overall, 47% of Iowans now approve of the job Grassley is doing in the Senate, down slightly from 49% a year ago. And 45% disapprove, an increase from 41% a year ago. Another 8% are not sure.

The poll shows 48% approve of Ernst’s performance — up a tick from 47% a year ago. Another 43% disapprove, up from 39%. And 9% are not sure.

Shawn Fesler, a 45-year-old poll respondent who identifies as a Republican and who agreed to a follow-up interview, said he’s among those who have a negative view of Grassley.

“Senators and Congress should have term limits like the presidents do,” he said. “I don't really get behind the career politicians.”

Fesler, an Ottumwa resident, said he has a more favorable view of Ernst. He likes that she has been more open to same-sex marriages and that she voted for legislation guaranteeing federal recognition of any marriage between two people if the union was valid in the state where they wed.

The poll of 804 Iowa adults was conducted Feb. 25-28 by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Both Grassley and Ernst have lost ground with Iowa Republicans and evangelicals over the past year, the poll shows.

Among Republicans, 70% approve of Grassley’s job performance and 23% disapprove. That’s down from a year ago, when 81% of Republicans approved and 11% disapproved.

Among evangelicals, the drop-off is even more pronounced. Now, 57% of evangelicals approve of Grassley’s performance — down 18 percentage points from a year ago, when 75% of evangelicals approved.

Thirty-six percent of evangelicals disapprove now, up 15 points from 21% in 2023.

“Evangelicals seem to be backing off of their appreciation for the senior senator, which may be part of the reason his approval rating dropped a bit,” said pollster J. Ann Selzer.

Ernst also saw erosion with both groups.

Among Republicans, 66% approve of her performance, down from 75% a year ago.

And the share of evangelicals who say they approve of Ernst’s job performance has fallen 6 percentage points from 64% in March 2023 to 58% today, putting her about on par with Grassley’s current numbers.

Ernst previously faced conservative pushback for a string of votes she took related to same-sex marriage, firearms legislation and Ukraine funding in 2022 and early 2023. But Grassley’s votes have not made as many public waves.

At the same time, Selzer noted, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is not only holding his own with evangelicals, but his popularity is rising.

“It’s not that evangelicals have tired of Republicans,” she said.

Trump is not in office, so his job approval was not tested by the Iowa Poll. But the share of evangelicals who view him favorably has grown.

In 2023, 58% of Iowa evangelicals viewed him favorably. That’s up to 70% today.

After a tech entrepreneur and investor lost his password for retrieving more than $600,000 in bitcoin and hired experts to break open the wallet where he kept it, they failed to help him. But in the process, they discovered a way to crack enough other software wallets to steal $1 billion or more.

On Tuesday, the team released information about how they did it. They hope it’s enough data that the owners of millions of wallets will realize they are at risk and move their money, but not so much data that criminals can figure out how to pull off what would be one of the largest heists of all time.
Their start-up, Unciphered, has worked for months to alert more than a million people that their wallets are at risk. Millions more haven’t been told, often because their wallets were created at cryptocurrency websites that have gone out of business.



The story of those wallets’ vulnerabilities underscores the enormous risk in experimental currencies, beyond their wild fluctuations in value and fast-changing regulations. Many wallets were created with code containing profound flaws, and the companies that used that code can disappear. Beyond that, it is a sobering reminder that underneath software infrastructure of all kinds, even ones explicitly dedicated to securing funds, are open-source programs that few or no people oversee.

“Open-source ages like milk. It will eventually go bad,” said Chris Wysopal, a co-founder of security company Veracode who advised Unciphered as it sorted through the problem.
The company shared its process and conclusions with The Washington Post before going public.

The risk of bad open-source code was laid bare in 2021 when it was discovered that Log4j, a ubiquitous tool used by software servicers that few consumers were even aware of, could be used to execute malicious code. The revelation panicked companies worldwide and made open-source security a top priority for the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which is now pushing companies to map out all the programs they depend on.


“Every man-made technology contains flaws that originate within its creators,” Unciphered co-founder Eric Michaud said.
Stefan Thomas, the technologist who created the software used to create the wallets, told The Post that he had done so as a hobby and had taken the key part of the code from a program published on a Stanford University student’s page, not checking to see if it was sound.

“Instead, I was obsessed about making sure that I didn’t make any mistakes in my own code,” Thomas said. “I’m sorry to anyone affected by this bug.”
Unciphered is calling the flaw “Randstorm,” because it stems from wallet programs that created cryptographic keys that weren’t random enough. Instead of crafting electronic keys that were one in a trillion and therefore very hard for an outsider to forge, they made keys that were one in some number of thousands — a randomness factor easily hacked.


The person who set the ball in motion is investor Nick Sullivan, an early bitcoin believer who used the site Blockchain.info, since renamed Blockchain.com, to make a wallet in 2014. Not long after, he wiped his computer’s memory without realizing that he had not saved to his password manager the blob of letters and numbers that would give him access to his crypto account.

“It was a pretty frustrating set of circumstances,” Sullivan told The Post. At the time, he was out around $18,000. That amount is now worth more than $600,000 — enough to make it worthwhile for him to hire the hackers and National Security Agency veterans at Unciphered to try to recover it.
Unciphered, one of a handful of outfits dedicated to recovering trapped electronic funds for a fee, began searching for Sullivan’s money in January 2022.

It turned out that the information Sullivan had about how he had created the account wasn’t enough to let Unciphered’s experts crack the wallet. But in studying the problem, the Unciphered team uncovered a bigger issue: Thomas’s code, known as BitcoinJS, which was supposed to create wallets with random keys, didn’t always make them random enough.

Compounding the problem, Thomas’s BitcoinJS was used not only by Blockchain.info but also by many other sites from 2011 on, including the main source of wallets for the former joke currency dogecoin, Dogechain.info. An executive at that site’s owner, Block.io, did not respond to an email from The Post seeking comment.
“BitcoinJS is terribly broken up till March 2014,” Michaud said. “Anyone directly using it is on the very high end of risk to attack.”

Do you realize you don’t say the “t”?

You say “mau” “in” or “fau” “in”.

Georgia’s only other non-conf game is against Georgia Tech. That is why we need to go back to 8 conf games. Ole Miss was also only rated high because of their non-conf cupcakes and one less conf game.

I give SEC leadership high marks for not making stupid decisions.

Covid linked to psychiatric disorders.
Vaccine(s) are preventive/protective.

I get that liberals want to ensure no one suffers the indignity of being misgendered, but is there something wrong with the term, "Hispanic"?

Why the need to come up with a non-binary term for Latinos/Latinas? One already existed.

Let's do it again!!!!

Good bye Fran ... welcome DeVries!!!

So many people seem to have just straight up lost what they’re about. I don’t have a lot to give but I think we all should learn a bit from , Jesus. You don’t have to believe he’s real and you don’t have to be religious, I don’t and I’m not. If a lost soul wanders your way just wash his feet, give him a meal, and give him a good ear. We don’t have to save the world, we’ve just got to do a little good.

Nvidia announced a collaboration with Hippocratic AI on Monday, a healthcare company that offers generative AI nurses who work for just $9 an hour. Hippocratic promotes how it can undercut real human nurses, who can cost $90 an hour, with its cheap AI agents that offer medical advice to patients over video calls in real-time.

"Voice-based digital agents powered by generative AI can usher in an age of abundance in healthcare, but only if the technology responds to patients as a human would," said Kimberly Powell, vice president of Healthcare at NVIDIA in a press release Monday.

Nvidia is powering Hippocratic's real-time responses over video calls. In a demo posted by Nvidia, a semi-human-looking AI agent named Rachel verbally instructs a patient on how to take penicillin. The agent then tells the patient it will report back all this information to her real human doctor. Rachel is one of many AI nurses that healthcare providers can choose from, according to one of Hippocratic's product pages. The AI nurses range in specialties from "Colonoscopy Screening" to "Breast Cancer Care Manager," all for less than minimum wage.

Hippocratic directly promotes how it can undercut the living wages of real nurses as a feature, not a bug. One page of the company's website compares a human nurse's $90 per hour salary to an AI agent's $9 an-hour running costs. Hippocratic claims its AI nurses outperform human nurses regarding bedside manner, education, and narrowly miss on satisfaction, according to a survey.

Can anyone give me a reason why Harding only got 3 minutes last? I thought in the Illinois game he was sensational. 13 minutes, 6 points, 6 assists. Really provided energy when Fran sat Perkins. I just don’t understand his limited minutes last night, especially the way Dix was struggling.

DM Register polling released today.

Dropped from 59% approval to 49% approval.

Meanwhile, more Iowans saying the direction of the State is worsening.

And better yet, Rob Sand approval soaring!!!!!!

Maybe there is hope in Mississippi North?
