Will Ferrell has a movie coming out this Friday, and there's a chance you aren't even aware of it. That's probably fine with him—although that doesn't mean he's not really proud of this film.
Only being released on approximately 350 screens, Casa de Mi Padre is a tongue-in-cheek homage to telenovelas that finds the 44-year-old star playing a Mexican rancher, speaking Spanish, and acting as if it's completely natural for there to be one dopey white guy amidst all these Hispanic actors. It's not unusual for comic A-listers to switch gears by doing a small, serious movie—Ferrell did the same thing years ago with Stranger Than Fiction—but Casa de Mi Padre is different: It's a willfully odd comedy that's happy to be obscure rather than commercially viable. For Ferrell, Casa de Mi Padre is just the most visible example of his long-running love for WTF weirdness.
Before he transitioned to full-time film actor, Ferrell was already exhibiting an Andy Kaufman-like interest in a kind of anti-humor that was more stunt than bit. While on Saturday Night Live, he would do established characters—like all cast members do—but the guy also loved the bizarre non sequitur, which unlike a lot of his cohorts he could turn into something really funny. Like, for instance, his great "Space: The Infinite Frontier," a talk show about the planets hosted by, of all people, Cubs announcer Harry Caray. Ferrell's impression was dead-on, but what was actually hilarious about the sketch was unspoken: Why the hell is Caray hosting a science show? That sort of never-discussed absurdity carried through to his Robert Goulet, which was enjoyable on the show but really fantastic when he went on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and showed up in character. The whole bit was built around the fact that "Goulet" thought he was in Burbank on The Tonight Show hanging out with Johnny Carson. It wasn't exactly funny ha-ha, but it was sorta amazing to watch Ferrell's commitment to the performance, even dropping a random I-don't-care-if-you-don't-get-it reference to Freddie de Cordova, Carson's old Tonight Show producer:
In the last decade or so, Ferrell's been busy establishing a film career, but while his hit movies tend to be "conventional" enough for mainstream audiences to embrace, the guy does enjoy peppering them with this streak of impish weirdness. For example, in The Other Guys, the wife he's always badmouthing as a nagging, unattractive battle axe turns out to be the sweet, gorgeous Eva Mendes. In Anchorman, he and his team bust out a spontaneous a cappella version of "Afternoon Delight" just 'cuz. Ferrell creates these universes that seem pretty normal except for that one thing that's out of place—and that one thing is never explained or rationalized, which consequently makes everything around it suddenly seem really surreal.
Lately, though, that weirdness has gained a more prominent position in his work. You can see signs of it everywhere: hosting SNL in 2009 and leading the cast in a completely serious rendition of Billy Joel's veterans anthem "Goodnight Saigon"; showing up in Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (which is the epitome of this type of non-humor humor); introducing the starters at a recent Bulls-Hornets game; or hawking Old Milwaukee in a Super Bowl ad that only aired in the second-smallest market in the country:
The point of all these bits is that you're not supposed to know about them ahead of time. Ideally, they happen out there in the world without warning, and then you find out about them after the fact, which will prompt you to say, "Why the hell did he do that?" or "That's really awesome that he did that." Either way, I suspect, Ferrell will feel like he accomplished his mission. (No wonder that when the satirical Fake Paramount Twitter account started up, some people wondered if Ferrell had something to do with it.)
That brings us back to Casa de Mi Padre, which is that same WTF principle expanded to a feature-length production. In the film's press notes, Ferrell explained the concept behind the movie:
"I don't remember when I got the idea and there was really no good reason, but I always had the notion of doing a Spanish language comedy. I do not speak Spanish but I thought the concept of having someone who is - depending on who you talk to - either fairly well known or kind of well-known in American language film - placed in a foreign language film would be something you don't see every day."
That's basically how the movie plays. To like Casa de Mi Padre, you'd better be cool with the idea that the joke is, "Will Ferrell is in a telenovela." If you just stumbled across this on TV, you might think it's a real telenovela: It looks like one, sounds like one and feels like one, too. Except it's not. And that's what makes Casa de Mi Padre funny. Well, kinda funny: Ferrell seems a little too pleased with his central concept to really develop it. (No matter what you think of his old Goulet appearance on Late Night, imagine that at 90 minutes and that's essentially Casa de Mi Padre.)
It's fun to see someone of Ferrell's stature willing to embrace oddness on this sort of scale, although he does run the risk of making a movie that only he and his buddies will enjoy. But that probably won't bother Ferrell too much: Like Jack White working on a side project or Steve Martin deciding to do a bluegrass album, Casa de Mi Padre is an excursion that's not meant to be taken that seriously. If you don't dig WTF it's about, Ferrell will just move on to the next thing. Maybe you'll like that one better.

Animals Taken From Southern Missouri Property
GALENA, Mo. (AP) - Nearly three dozen animals are in the custody of the Humane Society of Missouri following a rescue in southern Missouri.
Fifteen dogs, 10 horses, five cats, a chicken and a duck were removed Tuesday by the Humane Society's Animal Cruelty Task Force and the Stone County Sheriff's Department.
The Humane Society says many of the animals taken from the property near Galena are severely underweight and had little access to food or fresh water. Two dead horses and a recently deceased dog were found on the property.
A disposition hearing later this month will determine custody. The Humane Society says if it gets custody it will put as many of the animals as possible up for adoption.
The organization is pushing for animal abuse charges against the owner.

Hey John,
Did you talk with the owner? Just curious.
FWIW, if you should ever pass thru the Black Hills of SD, there is a old Military town called Igloo.
The town is actually referenced on this site. I was there on a photo trip 2 weeks ago. If you do go, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT GET OFF THE MAIN GRAVEL ROAD. The landowner is not to be reasoned with and is under legal dispute for pulling a gun on some people.
He followed me for 2 hrs as I photographed the remaining buildings (from the road).
Hey John,
Did you talk with the owner? Just curious.
For one thing, there are some not-too-friendly people.Originally Posted by circusboy
There are druggies,that will stop at nothing to rob or kill you for their fixes.
The news is full of meth idiots.
They do go on crime sprees.
Some, are very willing to kill,just for the fun of it.Or, to rob you.It is hard telling,of what strangers have in mind.
Look at the news: coydog ,coyote attacks, cougars and bears.
If you think there's nothing to
hurt you,then YOU spend several nights at some of these places. I will guarantee you,you'll need a complete change of clothes,T.P. included.Cities,are much more scary.Some parts of this town,
are a "no man's land". The police won't go there at night.
Some here, found out the hard way; get armed for a peace of mind.
I've been out there,at night.No
flashlight,2 handguns and a 22 scoped rifle.I walked along a road,1/4 mile and back.
I already know the "pucker factor".
Gang, please include night vision. And survival kits.
You are wondering if I can shoot. Try 297 out of a possible 300. At the SDSO range.(San Diego County Sheriif's Department)
I also shoot,with a handgun open sights,out to 100 yards.
I'm a handgun hunter.Yes, I will shoot back.I don't need 911.
No brag,just fact.
I reload ammo.
This so-called "paranoia" you wrote about, is called "common sense". Something that many city people have lost.Most of them, has lost reality.They live in a fantasy world.
Yes, I will never go unarmed in isolated places.
I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Late November/early December,we were at Tombstone,AZ. I went to Cherokee Jack's.He told me, that if we were going on the backtrails,"load up". Why? Since drug smugglers are all over the place.I already knew of the situation.I took nearly all my guns,plenty of ammo.
That did include my 45-70 rifle.
I sure don't aim to wound.
Great "motion detector"is soda cans strung on fishing line.Height is determined by the likely hood of bigfoot,cougars or bear.The biggest caliber handgun is the best.By the way,a great website for this kind of advice-guns and the wilderness is MADOGRE.COM.He writes for gun mags and test weapons for the manufacturers.Poor guy lives near that Skinwalker Ranch horror.
Hiya !
Be sure to add some pebbles in the cans.Basic stuff used in Vietnam.
elow i js wana know wer can i get the whole info about the silent hill.
Smasher, just out of curiosity, what silent hill? The ****** video game? The place doesn't exist.
Rachel email@example.com
However, talking about Silent Hill, I just went and saw the movie (based on the video game) tonight. For those of you who haven't played it or seen it: it takes place in an abandoned town in West Virginia and the coal underneath the town has been burning for 30 years and there's a demon and lots of ugly scary supernatural creatures roaming around. I remember seeing something about a town like that on tv (minus the demon and creatures)and decided to do a little research and remembered the name of the real town is Centralia, Pennsylvania. I'm wondering if the game was based on the town of Centralia and just renamed?
Rachel firstname.lastname@example.com
Some years back I was exploring some of the many fantastic remains of the dozens of "ghost towns" in the Bradshaw Mountains of Central Arizona. As my friend and I neared an impressive structure (some sort of mining elevator), we were approached by a man with a military style shotgun and a huge pit bull dog. As he was screaming at us about trespassing he pointed to another man up the hill who had another weapon (scoped) aimed at us. Meanwhile the big dog was growling inches from my neck on the passinger side of the truck as my friend in the driver's seat was talking to the barrel of a very nasty 12 gauge shotgun. Though I had a large magnum handgun in my right hand under a towel, we were very courteous to these two "gentlemen" who allowed us to turn around and leave NOW. This experience really ticked us off, but we were in no position do disagree or offend then in any way. An hour later we arrived at the top of the hill in Crown King (summer homes, two bars and lots of legally armed people). No probs there. We were told to be extremly careful exploring the Bradshaws. Many people have legal mining claims that allows them to stay there even though they aren't mining. Many are making drugs (Meth or growing pot). The law only requires them to move so many tons of Earth a year to be legal (in living on that claim). Words of wisdom...before exploring do research, speak to law enforcement, forest rangers, game & fish etc as well as locals (not just in the place close to your destination). Small, desert town people are usually very poor, paranoid and heavily armed. Be Careful!
I used to be a professional jeep tour driver here in Arizona and though we dressed in 1880s getups and wore single action guns, we kept them loaded for business. Some our our guests had a real problem about this (some even declined to go on the tour). I began keeping newspaper clippings about stories like your's (FlatIron and just folded them in an envelope). This stuff was not info I would volunteer, but when a scared Bostonian or Canadian needed a real reason why we caried "hot" and live ammo I would break out this envelope. In all reality you would have a greater probability being shot in NYC, Toronto, or Boston than the boonies of AZ (not to mention threats from cougars and black bear from the high country in times of drought). Another aspect that I would tell them about was the fact that it would take sheriff's deputies (in ground units) 30x the response compared to cops in the cities where they live (cities that the guests live). For that reason we carried hot and some folks were petrified of us. Some aspects of the old west still remain to this day even though most of us (law abiding, non-fellon, armed US Citizens) who cherish our 2nd Ammendment, pray that we will never have to use this constitutional right.

My Short View of Longview Texas Memories
I am getting more excited lately hearing that people in my genealogy world have made connections with cousins. Linked those cousins through research, and coupled it up when they took DNA tests.
One person by the name of Mel Collier, a wonderful researcher and author comes to mind as I think about the prospects of tying my ancestors to another ancestor as he has done.
Mel's second book is 150 Years Later; Broken Ties Mended.
Allie Jackson and one of my brothers matched up as DNA cousins on the site 23&Me through the Relative Finder portion. I just happen to manage my brothers account and since I am a big genealogy fan I was anxious to see where and who we match up to.
After conversing back and forth, Allie shared with me that her grandmother was born in Marshall Texas,the same place as my folks. Allie's grandmother was born a Carlisle. She also shared that she was going to Texas, visit relatives, and hopefully do some research at the courthouse. Allie's first stop would be Longview.
When thinking of Longview I have to think about my uncle Leslie and Aunt Beulah who lived at 445 So High Street. That address has stuck in my mind for eons of years. I am glad I remembered because that may help me locate them after finding the Enumeration Districts for the 1940 census when it comes out.
Someone told me he was my great uncle, and others say he is my grand uncle because he is my grandmothers brother. However,for the sake of me not scratching my head and running though looking for a multitude of charts I will stick to just plain uncle. Besides I never remember running up to him as a young child saying " Hi great Uncle Leslie" or "Grand Uncle Leslie, can I have this last cookie"...... nope sure didn't!
(this is one of the charts that explain relationships by Ellen Picard)
Leslie R Taylor son of Joseph and Francis Dickerson Taylor was born in Marshall Texas on February 11, 1911 and is buried in Marshall at the St. Johns Baptist Church Cemetery.
Here is a 1910 census in Harrison County showing Uncle Leslie as an 8 year old with his parents and other siblings. (click on image to enlarge.
Source Citation: Year: 1910; Census Place: Justice Precinct 7, Harrison, Texas; Roll: T624_1561; Page: 9A; Enumeration District: 0058; Image: 1078; FHL microfilm: 1375574.
He was a minister and pastored at many churches throughout Texas. One comes to mind is a church in Longview by the name of Red Oak Baptist Church.
The same goes for Aunt Beulah his wife. Hmmmm, so since she was his second wife and Sally was his first wife, should I say Grand Aunt Sally 1 and Great Aunt Beulah 2.
The next thing you know their email account if they were alive would be GreatAunt1 at aol dot com or GrandUncle2 at yahoo dot net.
(why do I feel heat on the back of my neck as if I am going to trip over something that is not there?)
I wish I had a picture of Aunt Beulah who was born to the parents of Aaron and Sarah Caleb Mays Sr on October 15, 1905 in Sparta Louisiana. Aunt Beulah must have been visiting her daughter by a prior marriage in Houston Texas because that was where she expired. She is buried in Longview at the Grace Hill Cemetery.
I did find her as a 10 year old in the 1900 Gregg County Texas with her parents and siblings. Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Longview, Gregg, Texas; Roll: 1641; Page: 28B; Enumeration District: 32; FHL microfilm: 1241641.
Name Age
Aaron Mays 56
Sarah Mays 50
Walter Mays 29
John Mays 25
Aaron Mays 18
Willie Mays 16
Henry Mays 14
Daniel Mays 12
Beulah Mays 10
Linden Mays 8
*** I chose the index instead of the actual image because Aunt Beulah is on the second page of the census
My Longview Experience:
My Longview family Reverend Leslie R and Beulah Mays Taylor lived at 445 South High Street. I remember going to visit with my mother on several occasions when we went to Texas. They had a really nice piano in the living room. I remember thinking how dark that room was and the heavy dark velvet looking drapes were closed keeping out the sun light.
I wanted to tinker with the piano but I had it in my mind that I would need a flashlight to look at the keys and I was afraid to ask Aunt Beulah to open up her drapes.
After all her stance was enough for me not to ask. She seemed tall to me at the time and looking up at her I could see her with her arms crossed looking at me. Just waiting for me to touch something. But I fooled her, I kept my hands to myself.
Years later my mom and I went again to see Uncle Leslie. By then Aunt Beulah had passed away and he was living alone. There were apartments in the back of the house, and one of the tenants, a lady would clean and cook for him.
This particular time I looked out the back door and saw a huge billow of what looked like smoke coming from the lady's house. I ran out and saw that her front door was open and called out' Are you in here, Are you Okay". "In here", she called out. The room was filled with light foggy smoke. She came out into the front room, apron on and a big spoon in one hand and a egg turner in the other. She replied, "I'm fine, I was just in the kitchen cooking corn bread."
I went in that kitchen and that woman had the biggest platter of golden brown hot water corn bread I had ever seen in my life. And she wasn't through!
The smoke was coming from this huge black iron skillet as she was frying her bread. She must have felt my smoke filled eyes looking at the bread because she asked if I wanted to try one.
Greedy me said yes and that was the most delicious tasting bread that I have ever had.
As she was cooking she told me what and how to make them myself.
She bought over my uncles dinner which consisted of a plate of hot-water corn bread, collard greens, potato salad and some fried chicken. She also had a peach cobbler with the prettiest topping.
Over the years I have cooked hot-water cornbread but never perfected them the way she did. I tell myself that maybe its because I did not have a kitchen full of smoke and the iron skillet was nothing like the one she had. I also use Canola Oil, and back in the day they cooked with lard.
I wish I could remember her name and to this day I have tried to tap my memory bank. I would love to thank her and I know my kids would like to thank her also. In fact I think they believe they never get a full meal until I cook cornbread. Hot water that is! Yummy!!

Nation & World
With little argument, House limits U.S. military involvement in Syria, Egypt
With little argument, the House of Representatives approved measures Wednesday that would prevent the Obama administration from spending money on U.S. military operations in Syria without consulting Congress and would forbid funding U.S. military or paramilitary operations in Egypt.
The measures, part of the House's $598 billion defense bill, were supposed to be contentious issues exposing bipartisan rifts between interventionists who want to give Obama a free hand in dealing with the civil war in Syria and unrest in Egypt and war-weary lawmakers concerned that U.S. troops will be dragged into more military actions.
But both amendments were approved on voice votes with only scant dissent.
On Syria, lawmakers passed an amendment by Rep. Trey Radel, R-Fla., that would forbid any military action in Syria if it violates the War Powers Resolution – which requires the president to consult Congress before committing U.S. forces to battle or placing them in situations where hostilities are imminent.
The Radel amendment does not address the contentious issue of providing weapons to the Syrian rebels, whose campaign to topple President Bashar Assad is made up of as many as 1,200 largely independent groups, including some that are openly affiliated with al Qaida. Congressional intelligence committees recently signed off on an Obama administration proposal to have the CIA funnel unspecified arms and training to rebels aligned with the moderate Supreme Military Council, led by a defected Syrian general, Salim Idriss.
But the wording of the amendment would apply to setting up a no-fly zone or using U.S. ships to launch attacks on sites in Syria, and the debate showed that deeper military involvement in Syria is opposed by an unusual House coalition of conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.
"I believe without a shadow of a doubt this is one of the most insane policies that borders on madness – the United States to give funding, training and arms most likely to al Qaida in Syria doesn't make any sense," said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. "This is absolute madness."
Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., agreed, calling the situation in Syria "chaotic."
"Distinguishing between the good rebels and the bad rebels is impossible," Welch said on the House floor. "The notion that we can have a micromanaged approach and pick the good guys, and arm them, and not have any reasonable . . . expectation that the arms will get into bad hands I think is naive."
Welch added that Congress has the responsibility to weigh in before U.S. troops are sent into harm's way.
"We have a job to do under the Constitution," he said.
The Obama administration last month notified Congress under the War Powers Resolution that a detachment of 700 U.S. troops who'd been participating in war games in Jordan would remain in that country "until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed." The detachment includes Patriot anti-missile systems and fighter aircraft, the White House notification said.
The Egypt amendment by Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., would prohibit the Department of Defense from using money authorized in the defense bill to fund military operations in Egypt or to fund individuals, groups or organizations engaged in paramilitary activity.
"Since our national security interests in Syria and Egypt are unclear, we risk giving money and military assistance to our enemies," Massie said when he introduced his measure last week. "The Constitution prohibits the president from unilaterally spending American taxpayer dollars on military operations without congressional approval."
The Egypt vote occurred as the Obama administration suspended delivery of four F-16 fighter jets to Egypt this week. A Pentagon spokesman said that the United States values its relationship with Egypt but that the delay was necessary as Egypt remains divided over the military's removal from office of Mohammed Morsi, the country's first democratically elected president.
Pentagon spokesman George Little told reporters Wednesday that the United States no longer believes it is "appropriate to move forward with the delivery."
At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki used nearly the exact same wording to explain the decision. "Given the current situation in Egypt, we do not believe it is appropriate to move forward with the delivery of the F-16s at this time," she said.

Hey Guys,
Ok I have a question for you. I have always played all of my single player(missions) in every game I have ever had. For some reason at this point I can NO LONGER play my cod2 sp game? And it was not an install error, the game has been on my machine for many years and I have played it for many years!
Can you tell me WTH is going on? Even on windows 7 I have never had problem until now. It tells me to update to the latest micro crap micro something flash player. WTH!
I even tried to uninstall and re-install the game still and to no avail this FREAKING CRAP will not let me play the damn game!
I am making a map (for cod4) that I would like to place into it the final moments of every cod game I have, in order to show my total disappointment and to let them know that I will never buy another cod game again! This is to let the IDIOTS at Activision/IW/Treyarch/ whatever they choose to call themselves to know what stupid morons they are for taking out the mod tools of the cod...
I have 3.68 GB of cod 2 maps on my desk top if you would like them then PM me and give me your drop box info.
I will keep them for another 10 days or so maybe, so either you want them or you don't, tick tick tick tick the clock
counts it down.
It's just time to clean my house...
Hi Capt & all,

hi all
if there are extra games added, how can i go back to playing just the standard games on gameranger, when the rest of the family is not online?
is there a way to do this without using a second computer??
Hi all i know you are working hard on this new site but I have a question, where is all the cod2 maps? only few hundreds are there.
I've recently found my old CoD2 game again after dusting for some years, and I've barely ever played any other maps than the ones included. But me and a couple of friends want to play a bit together, so we're basically 3 people (sometimes 4). I was wondering if anyone here have any good suggestions for what maps we could play? Those included are quite big and not much fun to play with only 3-4 people..
I'm also wondering if it is possible to add bots to MP games? If so, how?

We live in an era where "collector's edition" usually means "$100 box of crap full of busted action figures, tiny art books and some DLC". So it's nice to see upcoming RPG Ni No Kuni go and actually make something worthwhile for collectors.
The game's "Wizard's Edition", selling for USD$100, only contains three things. Well, aside from the game. One is a plush Drippy, the lantern-nosed character who serves as your sidekick in the game. The second is some DLC companions. Whatever.
The third, however, is the 300-page, hardcover spell book that some Japanese owners hot hold of, that serves as both game guide and art book.
It's exquisite, exactly the kind of thing fans of the game (and of Studio Ghibli, the animation giants who helped out with the game's visuals) would be hoping for.
The American version will be out January 22, while it's out in Europe on January 25 (click "expand" on the image up top to see it in detail).

Previous honorees:
Gene Kinasewich '64 | Joe Cavanagh '71
Mark Fusco '83 | Lane MacDonald '88-89
ALBANY, N.Y.—Former Hobey Baker winner and two-time Olympian Scott Fusco '85-86, Harvard's all-time leading scorer, has been named one of the top 50 players in ECAC Hockey history, the league has announced.
As part of its 50th-anniversary celebration, ECAC Hockey has compiled a group of its top 50 players to recognize the storied history of the league and honor its significant players. The league released the ninth installment of five honorees Wednesday. The top 50 players were determined by a selection committee made up of former coaches and media members, who selected the honorees from 145 nominees (47 defensemen, 73 forwards, 25 goaltenders).
Fusco, who played on U.S. Olympic teams in 1984 and '88, is the fifth Harvard player named to the list. Older brother Mark Fusco '83, three-time All-American Joe Cavanagh '71, three-time all-league pick Gene Kinasewich '64 and NCAA title-winning captain Lane MacDonald '88-89 were previously selected.
The ninth segment of honorees is: All-American defenseman Reid Cashman of Quinnipiac; Tom Mellor, a defenseman from Boston College and the 1973 ECAC Player of the Year; defenseman Randy Velischek, who led Providence to two NCAA tournament appearances, and goaltender Terry Yurkiewicz, who backstopped Clarkson to its first ECAC regular-season and tournament titles in 1965 and '66, respectively.
Fusco, who totaled 240 points on 107 goals and a school-record 133 assists in 123 career games for the Crimson, missed the 1983-84 season to skate at the Sarajevo Olympics. He returned to Cambridge to earn first-team All-America honors and selection as ECAC Player of the Year in each of his final two seasons. As a senior, Fusco led the Crimson to an appearance in the NCAA title game and earned the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the national player of the year.
Fusco's Hobey Baker selection came three years after brother Mark earned the honor, making the duo the first set of brothers to claim college hockey's top individual honor. They are also the only brothers on the ECAC top-50 list. The brothers led Harvard to the ECAC title and the national title game in 1983, with Scott taking home NCAA All-Tournament honors.
The 90th captain of Harvard men's hockey and a U.S. Hockey Hall of Famer, Scott Fusco racked up seven first-team all-league selections, four from the Ivy League and three from the ECAC. He earned the Percy Award as Harvard's top rookie in 1981-82, took home two Tudor Cups as the Crimson's most valuable player and was the 1986 recipient of the Bingham Award as Harvard's top male athlete in any sport. He was later named to the ECAC All-Decade Team for the 1980s.
All current and former teams' impactful players were reviewed in comprising the list of candidates for the special team. Five players from the top 50 all-time team will be released every two weeks throughout the season leading up the league championship semifinals and final March 18-19 in Atlantic City, N.J.
The top 50 players were determined by a vote of a selection committee of 10 individuals: Joe Bertagna '73, former student-athlete at Harvard, former hockey commissioner of the ECAC and current commissioner of Hockey East; Ed Carpenter, former sports information director at Boston University; Bill Cleary '56, former student-athlete, head coach and director of athletics at Harvard; John Connolly, longtime sports reporter at the Boston Herald; Dan Fridgen, former student-athlete at Colgate and head coach at Rensselaer; Mike Gilligan, former head coach at Yale and Vermont; Lou Lamoriello, former student-athlete and head coach at Providence and current CEO, president and general manager of the New Jersey Devils; Mark Morris, former student-athlete at Colgate and former head coach at Clarkson; Tim Taylor '63, former student-athlete at Harvard and head coach at Yale; and Adam Wodon, editor of the College Hockey News website.

Does Patti Stanger have some serious dirt on a Bravo head-honcho? She must! Because despite seasons of middling ratings, absolutely zero successful matches, and scathing fan reactions The Millionaire Matchmaker has been renewed for a sixth season!
According to the Bravo write-up, this season will represent " a new chapter for Patti"
who's had even more plastic surgery because she's now focused on finding love for herself. Let's see if Patti can put her own rules to work!
In addition to searching for love, Patti is also searching for her own past. "While not only finding love for herself, she also uncovers unforeseen information about her birth parents that makes her approach relationships in a whole new way."

But Where are the Blue Birds?
So Dawn W. was throwing a Wizard of Oz cast party, and she knew better than to order anything as complicated as a Yellow Brick Road cake. So instead, she simply asked for a cake with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" on it.
Now, if you've read this blog for any time at all, then you're probably expecting the same thing I was - an inscription that looks like this:
The Rainbow
I'm pleased to report that's NOT what happened. No, Dawn received something far more...colorful.
At first I thought the decorator was just being clever, but then I noticed the "Somewheres". Yeah. Well, there went that theory.

The Azure Code Samples are currently available in English
Azure Storage Service Samples in C++
Demonstrates how to use the Queue Service.
- Azure Queue storage provides cloud messaging between application components. In designing applications for scale, application components are often decoupled, so that they can scale independently. Queue storage delivers asynchronous messaging for communication between application components, whether they are running in the cloud, on the desktop, on an on-premises server, or on a mobile device. Queue storage also supports managing asynchronous tasks and building process work flows. This sample demonstrates how to perform common tasks including inserting, peeking, getting and deleting queue messages, as well as creating and deleting queues.
Note: This sample uses the Windows Azure Storage client library for C++ available through a Nuget package, which depends on the Visual Studio version you will use for development. For Visual Studio 2015, use the Nuget package "wastorage.v140". For Visual Studio 2013, use "wastorage.v120".
If you don't have a Microsoft Azure subscription you can get a FREE trial account here.
Running this sample in Windows
This sample can be run using either the Azure Storage Emulator that installs as part of the Windows Azure SDK - or by updating the storage_connection_string variable defined at the top of the program.
To run the sample using the Storage Emulator (Windows Azure SDK):
- Download and Install the Azure Storage Emulator here.
- Start the Azure Storage Emulator (once only) by pressing the Start button or the Windows key and searching for it by typing "Azure Storage Emulator". Select it from the list of applications to start it.
- Set breakpoints and run the project using F10.
To run the sample using the Storage Service
- Open the storage-queue-getting-started.cpp file and find the variable storage_connection_string. Replace the value (UseDevelopmentStorage=True) with the connection string for the storage service (AccountName=[]...)
- Create a Storage Account through the Azure Portal and provide your [AccountName] and [AccountKey] in the storage_connection_string variable.
- Set breakpoints and run the project using F10.
Running this sample in Linux
In order to compile and run this sample in Linux, you first need to get a local copy of the C++ REST SDK (aka Casablanca) from here and the Azure Storage Client Library for C++ from here. Both libraries must be compiled following the instructions described in the corresponding Github repositories. Once you have these libraries, follow these instructions to build the samples,
Clone the project using git:
bash git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/storage-queue-cpp-getting-started.gitThe project is cloned to a folder called
storage-queue-cpp-getting-started. Always use the master branch, which contains the latest release.
Build the samples:
bash cd storage-queue-cpp-getting-started/storage-queue-cpp-getting-started mkdir build cd build CASABLANCA_DIR=<path to Casablanca> AZURESTORAGE_DIR=<path to AzureStorage> CXX=g++-4.8 cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release makeIn the above command, replace
<path to Casablanca>to point to your local installation of Casablanca and
<path to Casablanca>to point to your local installation of the Azure Storage Client library. For example, if the file
libcpprest.soexists at location
~/Github/Casablanca/cpprestsdk/Release/build.release/Binaries/libcpprest.soand the file
libazurestorage.soexists at location
~/Github/azure-storage-cpp/Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage/build.release/Binaries/libazurestorage.so, then your
cmakecommand should be:
bash CASABLANCA_DIR=~/Github/Casablanca/cpprestsdk AZURESTORAGE_DIR=~/Github/azure-storage-cpp CXX=g++-4.8 cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=ReleaseThe sample is generated under

It's Product Review Friday once again and today we have two very delightful toys to tell you about. Because the two toys come from different retailers, I will be introducing each in turn.
First up is a fun new product for a couple to enjoy. It comes to us from our new friends at The Adult Toy Shoppe.
Dr Dick Review Crew member, Angie, does the honors.
Erotic Enhancer Bunny —— $21.99
I am so delighted to find a toy that both my husband and I can enjoy while we are enjoying one each other. I think that even though the is a plethora of vibrating toys on the market, few are actually designed to be enjoyed by a couple during intercourse. Dildos, particularly the ones that have the shape of a penis are wonderful for solo play, but they can get in the way, both literally and figuratively, when a couple plays together. This is the case with my husband. He, like most men, is put off by sex toys that have a realistic shape. I suppose I don't blame him. I'm sure that if the shoe were on the other foot, so to speak, I wouldn't welcome a sex toy that realistically looks like a woman's parts in our play together.
At the same time, I need clitoral stimulation if I am going to be orgasmic. This is particularly true during intercourse. So the problem has always been, how do I get the clitoral stimulation I need during intercourse without the use of a traditional clunky, intrusive and noisy vibrator?
Allow me to introduce you to the Erotic Enhancer Bunny. It's a bunny-shaped cockring that vibrates. How fun and creative!
The Erotic Enhancer Bunny is made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). It's a phthalate free material that is both soft and stretchy but also durable. I see nothing on the package that says it's latex free, so those with a latex allergy should beware.
There is a multispeed bullet vibe in the head of the bunny that is powered by 3 mini batteries, you know the flat kind. The manufacturer thoughtfully included the first set in the package. Thank you very much! You adjust the speed and turn the vibe on and off by using the dial on the vibrator. The bullet is easily removed making the bunny-shaped cockring a breeze to clean. More about that in a moment.
I love the fact that the Erotic Enhancer Bunny is waterproof. And that it transforms my husband's beautiful penis into a rabbit vibe. I couldn't be happier.
The whole thing is pretty discreet. It measures 1.75 inches across and 3.25 inches tall. My husband says that the ring is mighty snug on him. He found it uncomfortable after 20 minutes. That was long enough for me, but he specifically asked me to tell you that the Erotic Enhancer Bunny is designed for use by a man with a small to medium endowment. Ok, I defer to him on this. I suppose that's a problem with a one size fits all concept.
Full Review HERE!
Next we hear from Review Crew members, Mick & Chuck. They are going to introduce you to kinky little setup from the newest retailer to join our review family. Join with me in welcoming TheirToys.com a nice place to shop for Adult Toys.
Cockring and Leash Set —— $29.95
Mick & Chuck
Mick: "The Cockring and Leash Set came to us just in time for Halloween. And we put it to very good use."
Chuck: "Yeah, but it's not just a Halloween gimmick now, is it?"
Mick: "Right! You can use the Cockring and Leash Set Set any day of the year — Christmas, New Years Eve, Valentines Day, Arbor Day, the 4th of July, your pervy boyfriend's birthday, whatever."
Chuck: "Ok, I see you've decided to be a little wacky today."
Mick: "The Cockring and Leash Set is such a fun and kinky setup; I think a little wacky is in order, don't you?"
Chuck: "I guess you're right. So let's get on with telling our audience what the Cockring and Leash Set is, ok?"
Mick: "Sure! It's pretty simple actually. There are two parts. First, there's an adjustable black leather cockring, or strap, if you prefer. There is a D-ring on the strap to which you hook on the fine metal leash. The metal leash has a black leather loop grip."
Chuck: "The Cockring and Leash Set is a KinkLab product, so you know it's gonna be good."
Mick: "Oh yeah! Listen, if you're interested in buying a kinky product like this, even if you are new to kink; spare yourself the disappointment of buying any of the crap that is floating around out there. We've see more than our share of that shit here at the Review Crew. If you want quality, look for a quality brand, like KinkLab."
Chuck: "Right on! So I was saying that we had a ball with this Cockring and Leash Set for Halloween, right? Well, here's how it went down. We were invited to a totally tripped out party that we knew would surely turn into an orgy before the night was through."
Mick: "And we were not disappointed. Chuck dared me to wear the cock strap under this flimsy rawhide loincloth, which was pretty much the totality of my costume."

v Next, she applied L'Oréal Paris Magic Smooth Soufflé Blush in Celestial to the apples of Katharine's cheeks for a soft, natural flush
v On the eyes, she swiped L'Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow in Iced Latte across the lids, blending it into the crease for a sultry, warm smoky eye
v She also thinly lined eyes with L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner in Brown to deepen the look of lashes, which she coated with L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara
v For the lips, Lauren used Dior Rouge Contour Lip Liner in Linen and L'Oréal Paris Infallible Gloss 8HR in Petal
v Lauren finished with a dusting of YSL Poudre Sur Mesure – a semi loose powder in neutral to set the overall look

A web exploitation kit allows an attacker to gain control of a client machine when it visits a malicious web page. The steps that lead to successful exploitation are shown in Figures 1 and 2 show the steps that are usually taken by these drive-by-downloads . First, a user visits a web page that hosts a web exploitation kit. Following the client's request, the web server might implement some server side logic that assesses from what country the request is coming, what browser is being used, etc. and then returns the attack code as part of the response. The attack code attacks the client, and if successful, executes a downloader component without the user's consent or notice (Step 1). The downloader in turn will make a follow-on request to download and execute a piece of malware from a URL specified by the attacker (Step 2). Alternatively, the step can be skipped and the malware delivered with the initial attack code making Step 2 unnecessary. At that point, the attacker has complete control of the client machine and can steal sensitive information, such as credit card numbers or account credentials, join the client machine in a botnet, use social engineering to entice the user to purchase bogus products online, etc. The user did not notice that he was just successfully attacked as all steps are happening in the background. As such, drive-by-downloads is a popular technique in the attacker's arsenal.
Figure 1 - Client-Side Attack - Step 1
Figure 2 - Client-Side Attack - Step 2
WebAttacker is one of the first web exploitation kits that appeared in early 2006. It was sold on Russian web sites for about $15 [1]. MPack, a more sophisticated web exploitation kit, was developed shortly after by three Russian programmers who call themselves the "Dream Coders Team" [2], and was initially released in June 2006. The tool is sold via the underground market for approximately $700 to $1000 and according to VeriSign/iDefense [3], it has been responsible for thousands of infections. IcePack was first reported in July 2007 [4], [5] and is quite similar to MPack. It has been developed by another group, the IDT group, with a purchase price of $400. Since August 2007 even Chinese localizations of the MPack/IcePack toolkits are available [6].
Under the hood, these web exploitation kits are quite simple. WebAttacker consists of a Perl and some PHP scripts. MPack/IcePack consists of several PHP scripts and a downloader creator that allows the user to create custom downloaders, programs designed to retrieve and install the actual malware. The use of the downloader frees the attacker from any size limits posed by the payload buffer and potentially provides some encryption routines to evade intrusion detection systems. Our test installation of MPack was as easy as unpacking the MPack archive into a directory, editing a simple configuration file and placing the downloader into the directory. The provided documentation and sample configuration assisted us in our efforts. Once the web exploitation kit is installed, attacks are live and accessible on the web server under a specific URL, and the attacker's only remaining task is to entice users to visit this URL.
Once a kit is set up, the application can provide the attacker with information about the progress of its attacks via a password protected administrative/statistics page. The MPack administrative interface is shown in Figure 3 . It primarily contains information on the success rate of the various attacks and information about the location of the attacked clients. Similar administrative interfaces exist for WebAttacker and IcePack. We will review the administrative interface of MPack in more detail below.

Hulu Reworks Its Script as Digital Change Hits TV
Just as the digital wave transforms the television industry, Hulu, a pioneer of Internet TV, is in internal discussions to dramatically transform itself.
The free online television service has become one of the most-watched online video properties in the U.S. and a top earner of web-video ad dollars since its 2008 launch.
But its owners—industry powerhouses NBC Universal, News Corp. and Walt Disney Co.—are increasingly at odds over Hulu's business model. Worried that free Web versions of their biggest TV shows are eating into their traditional business, the owners disagree among themselves, and with Hulu management, on how much of their content should be free.
Fox Broadcasting owner News Corp. and ABC owner Disney are contemplating pulling some free content from Hulu, say people familiar with the matter. The media companies are also moving to sell more programs to Hulu competitors that deliver television over the Internet, including Netflix Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc.
And in what would be a major shift in direction, Hulu management has discussed recasting Hulu as an online cable operator that would use the Web to send live TV channels and video-on-demand content to subscribers, say people familiar with the talks. The new service, which is still under discussion, would mimic the bundles of channels now sold by cable and satellite operators, the people said.
Hulu's managers say tumult is natural in such a fast-changing industry. "When we blaze trails, which is what Hulu is about, it takes time," said Jason Kilar, Hulu's chief executive, in an interview. "That is not for the faint of heart, and we understand that."
When it launched three years ago, Hulu was the networks' answer to Google Inc.'s video-sharing site YouTube. It provided an easy—and legal—way for viewers to watch new TV shows online whenever they wanted for free. It now offers more than 30,000 television episodes, and its new Hulu Plus subscription service lets users watch on Internet-connected TVs and portable devices like the iPad.
But the digital landscape is changing so fast that Hulu's future is unclear. The networks are grappling with a dilemma facing all entertainment companies: how soon to release movies or shows online without destroying their value in other lucrative "windows" such as DVDS or reruns on cable TV—and at what price.
After upending the music and publishing industries, the digital revolution is poised to shake up TV in earnest this year. As more viewers watch TV and movies on the Internet, industry executives say a generation of TV watchers may never sign up for cable or satellite television, turning off the spigot of monthly fees that have helped support TV for over 30 years. Broadcasters such as those behind Hulu, cable TV operators, and even TV hardware makers such as Sony Electronics are scrambling to figure out their role in the new Internet television universe.
The number of U.S. households that pay for TV service from cable, satellite or phone companies dipped for the first time last year after decades of growth, with 335,000 fewer households paying for service between the first and the third quarters, according to research firm SNL Kagan.
In last year's fourth quarter, the number of people between ages 18 and 49 watching any kind of TV on a traditional set was down about 1.3% from the previous fall, according to Nielsen Co, the biggest decline in at least four years.
At the same time, Internet viewing has increased. U.S. consumers watched about three billion videos on websites offering TV shows in December, up 96% from a year earlier, according to comScore Inc. Hulu alone saw the number of videos it showed double in that period.
Hulu's owners all agree that "consumer behavior is changing" toward more time on Internet-connected devices, said Mr. Kilar. "If you're a content owner, you're at risk of being left behind."
But they can't agree on the best way to capture the new audience.
"It remains unclear what the business model is" for Hulu, said Bruce Rosenblum, head of the television arm of Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. studio. "At some point, if enough people turn off cable, then you've got a complete disruption of the business model," he said.
When Hulu was created in 2007, NBC Universal and News Corp.—which also owns The Wall Street Journal—were concerned about the growing influence of YouTube and pirated copies of their programs showing up on the Internet. Hulu aggregated the networks' TV shows online and made money by selling advertising.
The partners hired Mr. Kilar, former general manager of Amazon.com Inc.'s North American media business, giving him autonomy to chart a new course. Mr. Kilar, 39, was determined to create an independent corporate culture closer to the tech world than the tradition-bound television business.
The company built a Silicon Valley-inspired startup in a low-slung office park in Santa Monica, a few miles west of its Hollywood owners. In the break room, engineers modified a refrigerator to house a beer keg, cutting a hole in it to fit a special tap in the shape of Hulu's logo.
Mr. Kilar gave new hires a culture manifesto, an 1,100-word document that paints Hulu as a frugal meritocracy where "Fruity Snacks boxes hold up our monitors," but where everyone has a "neurotic focus on quality."
In an office expansion, Mr. Kilar and senior managers gave up their offices to sit at desks in an open floor plan among hundreds of employees, underscoring Hulu's egalitarian approach.
It wasn't long before the new venture clashed with owners' established ways.
In 2008, ad-sales executives at both Fox and NBC complained to their bosses that Hulu was cutting into sales on the networks' own websites like Fox.com or NBC.com.
The protests fell on deaf ears. News Corp.'s then-president and chief operating officer, Peter Chernin, and NBC Universal's Chief Executive Jeffrey Zucker defended Hulu as part of a larger strategy to build their online business.
The strategy drew viewers. A slick commercial in the February 2009 Super Bowl jokingly revealed Hulu as an extra-terrestrial plot to turn human brains to mush from excessive TV consumption. Hulu's traffic skyrocketed, reaching 397 million U.S. video views in April, up 58% from January, according to comScore.
Mr. Kilar needed more content to show all his new customers. Hulu turned to Disney, offering the entertainment giant an equity stake in return for access to ABC programming. After months of wooing by Messrs. Chernin, Zucker and Kilar, Disney came on board in the summer of 2009. The company provided two years of exclusive access to TV shows—including "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost"—on the Web free with advertisements.
Soon, the stage was set for a showdown. News Corp. had announced that Mr. Chernin, an original creator of Hulu, would leave the company at the end of June. News Corp. named Chase Carey to be its new president and chief operating officer.
Mr. Carey had a very different vision for Hulu, according to people familiar with the matter. The former head of satellite operator DirecTV, Mr. Carey was a big believer in the subscription-TV business. He worried that online video would train a generation of people to expect entertainment for free with advertising. He thought Hulu should be supported by both subscriptions and ads, those people said.
The strategy conflicted with Hulu's initial business model. While Mr. Kilar had talked about adding subscriptions since Hulu's launch, people close to him say he thought the best way to build the business was to increase the audience by keeping much of the content free, supported by advertising.
Among broadcast networks, pressure was building to increase revenue. Having seen their audience migrate to cable for years, the networks were becoming increasingly insistent about seeking monthly fees from cable and satellite operators who used their broadcast signals. The networks needed the fees to help pay for soaring production and sports-rights costs. But in tense negotiations, the cable and satellite operators had a big objection: Why would we pay you for content you make available free on the Web?
In 2009, Mr. Kilar hashed out a subscription model that would become Hulu Plus. The idea was a compromise: New TV shows would remain free with ads. Paying subscribers would be offered additional content, as well as the ability to watch Hulu on devices other than their computers.
At a meeting of Hulu owners at News Corp.'s Manhattan headquarters last April, Hulu's management said it wanted Hulu Plus to offer access on multiple devices to full seasons of shows like ABC's "Desperate Housewives," leaving the most-recent episodes free with ads.
Some attendees said that didn't go far enough. At one point, Peter Levinsohn, head of digital distribution for Fox Filmed Entertainment, contended the new paid service was not differentiated enough from the existing free one, according to people familiar with the meeting.
Andy Forssell, Hulu's head of content acquisition and distribution, replied that Hulu would lose advertising if it restricted access to free new episodes.
Despite its privileged access to content, Hulu's revenue is still small compared to the bigger TV ecosystem and emerging competitors such as Netflix. In 2010, Hulu reported revenue of more than $260 million, up from $108 million in 2009. Netflix, which also rents out DVDs, had revenue of $2.16 billion last year.
Hulu's management prevailed that time. But owners and management would continue to differ on strategy.
In April, Disney unveiled software for Apple's new iPad tablet computer, offering free access to some ABC television shows with advertisements. The service raised a conflict: Hulu already was planning to offer the paid Hulu Plus service on the iPad.
Some Hulu board members and staffers were stunned. Mr. Kilar called Disney's chief executive, Robert Iger, to express concern, say people briefed on the call.
By last summer, eager to raise money to secure more content, Hulu management began discussing the idea of an initial public offering.
Hulu managers flew to New York in August to talk to investment bankers, some of whom estimated the company could go public at a valuation of around $2 billion. But to get such a handsome number, Hulu would need to lock up long-term access to its owners' programming.
The owners, however, wanted to first nail down their own new license deals with Hulu, which are set to expire this summer. They didn't want to conduct those negotiations while Hulu was under pressure to impress markets.
Board members, including Mr. Kilar, tabled the IPO in the fall and are now discussing raising capital through other methods. Hulu has asked the owners to invest more themselves, say people familiar with the matter, although it's unclear whether they will do so.
By October, as Hulu Plus was about to launch to a wide audience, Mr. Kilar clashed again with the owners.
Hulu's CEO worried that rival video service Netflix was gaining traction with a feature that allowed subscribers to stream movies and TV shows online on demand. Mr. Kilar proposed dropping Hulu Plus's monthly subscription rate to $4.99 from $9.99.
In a conference call, Mr. Kilar told the media executives how critical his proposals were: He indicated he was prepared to leave when his contract expired if owners didn't follow his recommendations, according to people familiar with the matter.
Both sides eventually compromised, and the owners agreed to a smaller 20% cut to $7.99 a month.
Hulu's owners are now preparing to start negotiations for their new licenses. Discussions have included such concerns as whether giving Hulu exclusive content restricts the owners unnecessarily. News Corp. and Disney are also each mulling whether to wait two weeks or more after a TV episode airs before making it available free online, according to people familiar with the matter.
Meanwhile, the media companies have all struck deals to license TV shows to Hulu's competitor, Netflix.
When NBC Universal recently gave new episodes of "Saturday Night Live" to Netflix, Mr. Kilar complained in a phone call with NBC's Mr. Zucker, people briefed on the conversation said.
NBC Universal is being forced to relinquish its Hulu management rights as part of government conditions on its takeover by Comcast Corp. NBC Universal may be obliged to start making more deals with Hulu competitors as part of those conditions.
ABC, for its part, has quietly built a potential subscription-based service that could mirror the selection of ABC shows in Hulu's subscription offering, according to people familiar with the plans. It remains unclear if it will launch the service.
Hulu's owners are now considering management's proposal to create a "virtual cable operator," according to people familiar with the talks. If they decide to move forward, some form of Hulu's free service would likely remain under such a plan. It is possible Hulu Plus could be folded into the new service, one of the people said.

The Weather Channel Will Soon Start Geotargeting You on Twitter
Everyone jokes that when hurricane season arrives, all you see on The Weather Channel are ads for Home Depot and batteries. Well, they really do target advertising based on the seasons, and now they're going to use your location on Twitter to show you ads tailored to your current weather.
Mashable reports that The Weather Company, the parent company to The Weather Channel, is teaming up with Twitter to use its advertising application programming interface (API) to "gain access to the users' information" to help them target where you are. The process is called "geotargeting," which is where companies show you ads based on the location from which you're accessing their website.
If you're at work and it starts snowing, for instance, you might start seeing Twitter ads for hot chocolate or a big cup of coffee from Starbucks. If you're under the gun for major hail, Nationwide is on your side(bar).
It's markedly less invasive than Facebook's plan to use your browser history to 'enhance' your annoying ad experience, but probably unnerving for privacy-minded Twitterers nonetheless.
While users won't see The Weather Channel's name anywhere in the ads (they're just providing the weather data), the Wall Street Journal notes that the Atlanta-based behemoth stands to make commission off of any deals struck through the partnership.

Smiths Detection developed the portable emergency room to treat soldiers on the battlefield.
But the tornado that tore through Joplin, Mo., last month, executives at the Edgewood manufacturer say, showed another potential use.
The twister, one of the worst in U.S. history, destroyed the main hospital in the town of 49,000, leaving no sterile place in which doctors could provide care to disaster victims.
"We could have quickly deployed the system and helped people who had been hurt," said Tom Brown, the director of business development at Smiths.
In the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the Japan tsunami and other disasters, Smiths and other firms are looking at how their products and services — many developed for military use — might be used in emergency response.
While catastrophes such as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the wildfires now ravaging the Southwest have riveted attention, weather researchers say disasters aren't necessarily on the rise.
The damage they have wrought, however, has increased — in part, because populations are living closer to the sea.
"There is some change in exposure," said Harold Brooks, a research meteorologist for the National Severe Storms Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"Some of it is people have moved to the coast and businesses have moved to the coast," Brooks said. "That is added on to the fact that we have all accumulated more stuff."
Companies are responding. Communications firms are building portable satellite systems that can be used when traditional phone lines fail and helping to develop social networking strategies to alert people of looming storms. Manufacturers are repurposing laptops built to withstand the rigors of the front lines of war zones for roles in earthquake and hurricane zones.
Anaylsts say defense contractors in particular are looking at new uses for their products, particularly as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. Emergency response, they say, could provide new growth opporutnites for some.
"The things most needed in the aftermath of a natural disaster are the same things you need to operate in Afghanistan," said Loren Thompson, a Virginia-based military and defense analyst.
Smiths Detection is seeking government approval and federal funding to develop domestic uses for its medical shelter, which inflates into a tent to provide 400 square feet of hospital space.
Gov. Martin O'Malley has written a letter of support. The Army National Guard requested the funding last year. It is unclear when decisions would be made.
"There is a need we think we can fill," Brown said.
The core business of TeleCommunications Systems Inc. in Annapolis has been providing portable satellite communications systems for the federal government. But devices that started off as the communications lifeline for troops in Iraq now are used by aid workers in hurricanes and tsunamis.
The small satellite devices, which allow telephone, email and video communication, were used by rescie workers during Hurricane Katrina and floods in the Philippines and Malaysia. The company recently signed a contract for the devices to be used by the National Guard in hurricane-prone Florida.
"If you have a portable communication system … that worked well in war environments it should work well in a humanitarian effort," said Tim Lorello, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at TeleCommunication Systems. "It kind of happened naturally."
The company is working with the federal government to develop a system that would send text messages warning cell phone users of storms approaching their location, even when they are far from home.
Military contractor Northrop Grumman created its unmanned Global Hawk aircraft to spy on the enemy. But the drone also has been used to collect information on forest fires in Southern California and survey earthquake damage in Haiti and Japan.
Another of the company's devices was used to detect any earthquake damage underwater that might have prevented boats from approaching the Caribbean island during recovery efforts.
A spokeswoman for the California-based company, which has a large presence in Anne Arundel County, said Northrop Grumman doesn't necessarily see disaster response as a growth area, but its products have proved useful in such situations.
"The products we build for the military offer capabilities that can help," spokeswoman Margaret Mitchell-Jones said.
Florida-based General Dynamics Itronix, which has offices at Aberdeen Proving Ground, has built sturdy portable computers favored by police officers, soldiers and others not tethered to a desk. The laptops can withstand harsh weather, and may be dropped without getting damaged.
General Dynamics' clients use its its "rugged" computers widely in natural disasters.
After the earthquake leveled Haiti last year, the Baltimore-berthed hospital ship USNS Comfort tweeted its location as it made its way to Port-au-Prince.
Working in the background was Booz Allen Hamilton, which advises the U.S. Navy on its social media efforts and had helped it build up followers before the disaster. The Virginia-based military contractor, which has offices in Maryland, said social media has helped the Navy respond to disasters more efficiently.
"The reason they get on social media isn't to sell things or things a social media organization will do," said Stephen Radick, lead associate for communications and social media at Booz Allen. "They don't care about having 1,000 Facebook fans or 10,000 Twitter fans. They want to get information out. "
Disasters also have prompted an increase in business for cottage industries around the country. The tornado in Joplin has resulted in a surge in the demand for tornado shelters.
"With the rash of intense storms and the number of people killed there is simply a lot more interest," said Ernst Kiesling, executive director of the National Storm Shelter Association and a professor of civil engineering at Texas Tech University.
There also has been an increase in college degree and certificate programs in emergency management and disaster response —from 70 in 2001 to more than 230 now, according to FEMA.
"There's more awareness," said Carol L. Cwiak, assistant professor of emergency management at North Dakota State University and executive director of the Emergency Management Higher Education Consortium. "We've had some fairly significant events in the last decade that have drawn people's attention."

Bonjour, Kim Kardashian!
The new mom hit Paris Fashion Week with beau Kanye West to take in the haute runway shows in the French capital, reportedly leaving their baby girl back home in Los Angeles.
"Kim was sad to say goodbye," a source told Us Weekly. "This is the first time she's been away from the baby."
The reality TV starlet, 32, was all pre-baby glam in Par-eeh as she showed off her slimmed-down figure and new blond 'do in a few Instagram pics. That's besides the hotly anticipated new images of the reality TV starlet making the rounds (finally!) following her increased public appearances after giving birth to her daughter North in June.
The pair stayed at the George V hotel, the mag said, and were escorted into the Givenchy offices by former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld, for meetings. Paris Fashion Week kicked off last Tuesday, and the couple is slated to take in several shows.
One image she posted is a wide shot of her and West walking the streets of Paris. The images bears the simple caption "Bonjour baby."
In another snapshot, Kardashian shows off her figure in a black Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci gown, flanked by her fashion-forward boyfriend. Tisci happens to be a good friend of West's too. He designed their looks for the Met Gala in May and served as the artistic director on Kardashian's bizarrely beautiful pregnancy photo shoot with Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld for CR magazine.
"Thank you Ricky for making this for me the day before the show. I die for you. #Givenchy4lifebaby," Kardashian wrote, captioning a photo of herself in the dress, with West.
The paparazzi-loved couple took in the designer's show Sunday and Kardashian shared a picture of the two of them sitting front row at the Givenchy presentation next to actresses Noomi Rapace, Lily Collins and singer Ciara. She described their plum seating assignment as "Oh nothing... just chillin'"
That kind of reminds us of another photo she posted last week in which the couple happened to be hanging out with music mogul Sean Diddy Combs and TV queen Oprah Winfrey at Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine's big pre-Emmy Awards bash. Looks like she's got no problem hanging with industry heavyweights.
The pair also stepped out in his-and-hers-style wool coats, his being blue and hers tan to match the all-neutral, figure-hugging ensemble beneath it.
While Kardashian skipped New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week earlier this month, her beau didn't. The rapper's penchant for all thing sartorial was ever-present in his recent headline-making interview with the BBC.
"I spend 80% of my time working on [fashion] and 20% of my time working on music," the "Stronger" star said. "Why do you think the song '... in Paris' is called '... in Paris'? Because ... [I] was in Paris! That's why we were in Paris. I've put in the 10,000 hours."
Yes, that's the same interview that unleashed his "rap feud" with late night host Jimmy Kimmel, a Twitter imbroglio sparked by Kimmel's parody of the chat using young children. Interestingly, by Sunday, Kanye had deleted the tweets on his side of the spat.
However, despite the barbs and and laughs, West did open up to the BBC's Zane Lowe about his famous girlfriend.
"Family time -- it's what Kim gave me," the rapper said. "She gave me everything. She gave me a family. She gave me a support system."
The hip-hop star also said that he believed his baby mama had pure motives.
"She was in a powerful enough situation where she could love me without asking me for money, which is really hard for me to find," he said.

The faraway sounds of ARMS single, "Heat and Hot Water" are mirrored in this simplistic video. The meaning behind the video tells the story of a couple escaping a connected world that unconsciously chases them into their suburban getaway....
Anecdotes, history, creative processes and inspirations; our extended interview with ARMS pretty much covers all the reasons you should be listening to this amicable, Brooklyn outfit....
Todd Goldstein has had things shaking in the indie world for some time. The amicable Brooklynite spent years carving delicious hooks into the musical output of Harlem Shakes; a once beloved NYC outfit that sadly called it quits in 2009 (though their performance for our cameras lives on!)....

A really simple question was asked recently, and I didn't think to check for dups before answering, and neither did a couple of others who have answered.
By giving answers to the dup, are we encouraging the asker to just ask away without searching first, either google or SO? Rather than answering the question, should we comment on it, kindly reminding the user to use the search function, and link to the original question, and let the higher-rep'd users vote to close?
Are we, in fact, part of the problem?

Oral Malignant Melanoma in Dogs and Cats
Melanoma is a tumor of melanocytes, which arise from neural crest cells and function to synthesize melanin. Melanocytes are commonly located in the oral cavity, haired skin and eye, making these the most common locations where melanomas arise. Biologic behavior of melanoma depends in part on tumor location. The majority of melanomas that arise in the oral cavity are classified both histologically and biologically as malignant. Histologic features that support a diagnosis of oral malignant melanoma include a mitotic index greater than 2 mitoses per 10 high-powered fields, nuclear atypia, vascular or lymphatic invasion and ulceration. Malignant tumors may be variably pigmented or amelanotic (one third of cases). Since melanocytes are derived from neural crest cells, which ultimately give rise to both glandular tissues and connective tissues, melanomas can resemble both carcinomas and sarcomas morphologically. Given these challenges to diagnosing a malignant melanoma, several immunohistochemical stains have been developed to aid in the diagnosis. Melanomas typically stain positive for vimentin, melan A, S100, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE); these stains can be helpful in diagnosis. Continue reading
