Attackers Compromised 53 Employees' Computers
The attackers accessed the computers of 53 Times employees. Investigators believe some of the employees were targeted by spearphishing messages to gain an initial foothold into the organization. The targeted attacks typically contain malicious file attachments or links to a malicious Web page. If an employee opens the attachment, the malware is designed to target vulnerabilities on the victim's computer. Without the employee's knowledge, a remote access Trojan is dropped on the victim's machine, and the cybercriminals behind the attacks are notified that the attack was successful. One of the only ways to help reduce the risk of spearphishing is end-user education, said Randy Abrams, research director, at Austin, Texas-based security vendor testing firm NSS Labs. Spearphishing attacks tax heuristics technology used in antivirus beyond its limits, Abrams said.

(Redirected from Djinn (Monster))
Dungeon specific
|This article is in need of content, please consider adding to it.
The djinn is a rare monster type that only appears in select dungeons and subdungeons. His primary ability is the Retaliate: Fireball, which can make approaching him dangerous if you must rely on the BURNDAYRAZ glyph. In practice, he's a weaker variant of the Golem since he's still fully vulnerable to all other forms of spellcasting and the fireball glyph can still be used as a first-strike finisher against him, whereas against the golem fireball is utterly ineffective.

Wigan Athletic defender Antolin Alcaraz has insisted that Premier League survival is the club's priority despite the Latics' trip to Wembley next month.
Alcaraz has stated that the FA Cup semi-final against Millwall at Wembley should still be held in high regard, but the race to beat the drop should be at the forefront of the Wigan players' minds.
Alcaraz told the Wigan Evening Post: "We have Wembley to look forward to but for me the most important game is always the next one and this is against Norwich City."
Wigan go into the game against Norwich City on the back of a 2-1 victory against fellow strugglers Newcastle United. With the international break giving the Latics' squad a chance to rest and regroup before a busy month, Alcaraz insists the club can survive once again.
On Wigan's first ever FA Cup semi-final against Millwall next month, Alcaraz added: "We will worry about the FA Cup when it comes around next month.
"For now we must concentrate on the league because there are some important games coming up.
"We have shown in the last few games that we can win games in this league and we must keep that up if we are to move away from the bottom of the table."
Wigan have been successful in beating the drop for the last two seasons. In the 2010/11 campaign, they were in the bottom three for most of the season and only retained their Premier League status on the final day thanks to a Hugo Rodellega goal at Stoke City.
Then, in the 2011/12 season, Wigan were saved in the penultimate game of the season after recording a 1-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers, who were relegated in the process.
Wigan will be looking to repeat their heroics under Roberto Martinez this season, with the FA Cup being more of an additional bonus rather than the focus point of their season.

Not sure whether anyone will be interested but I have written a CF card applet which is designed to replace the original Sharp cardmon and netmon applets.
It mounts data cards (obviously) but also controls serial (modem) cards.
It has 2 additional optional modules which allow SMS (texts) and Voice.
I am using it on a SL-C3100 running the Sharp ROM with an Audiovox RTM-8000 card, which is the only setup I have tested it on.
You can read more about it, starting at http://humbug.me.uk/zaurus/hbzcard.README.FIRST.htm

DaveL - very interested in this as I stopped using my RTM-8000 card due to the clunky mount/unmount of the Sharp applet - and card sticks out too far to be left in! Yes, I know your app's written around SL-C3100 but thought I'd give it a spin on my SL-C860 anyway. Here's what happened:-
Installs but gives a repeated error about (USB??? - not quick enough to read) - reboots as expected.
"L" in taskbar.
L becomes M as it recognises my CF memory (actually an Olympus XD adaptor) - Photo app. can see photos OK.
Doesn't seem to notice when my Trendnet Ethernet card is inserted. L remains L :¬(
Sees my Audiovox card and briefly shows M, followed by hourglass while amber LED flashes as it tries to ... (find network???) Problem could well be an expired/out-of-date SIM card or my laziness not setting up network in /etc/ppp/peers & options.
Uninstall gives possibly similar error as install but reboots fine. Cards recognised (did there used to be a memory icon? - can't remember)
Cheers anyway!

Thanks very much for the update - I was hoping for some feedback.
On the SL-C3100, the install does not cause a reboot - just a reload of the applets?
If you could install manually and capture the stdout and stderr and send it me that would be good.
Or did you mean the messages are during reboot?
At least you got the "L" in taskbar - that's something. ;-)
Did you mean becomes D (not M) with the memory card? Data/memory cards should give D and prompt for a mount.
I had completely overlooked Ethernet cards. :-(
I am looking to add them, but unfortunately I do not have one to test it.
As for the Audiovox card, the /etc/ppp network does not matter at this point, and it is supposed to wait for a signal but time out after ~20 seconds and 'eject' the card if there isn't one (icon back to 'L'). I tried mine without a SIM card at all, and that's what happpened.
I don't believe install/uninstall should affect anything but netmon and cardmon (and those should be back as they were).
Would you be interested in having a version with debug logging and sending me the output - I might be able to sort something.
Fully understand if you do not want to spend time on this.

Sorry, the one crucial piece of information I missed is that I'm running Cacko 1.23 but I had assumed it would be similar enough to Sharp that it was worth a go.
Install stdout and stderr capture (had to learn how to do this!!!):-
Unpacking hbzcard...Done.
Configuring hbzcard...Display size = 480x640
Similarly, uninstall:-
ipkg_remove: Removing hbzcard...
Display size = 480x640
So the screen full of repeated output must be to do with reboot. Just looked again and it's a screen full of modprobes then a line or 2 or 3 of something different at the bottom. Interestingly, ipkg remove *doesn't* force a reboot (although the centre of screen cursor briefly appears) whereas "Remove Software" program still does (similar screenful of modprobes, etc.)
Yes, my memory card gives D, not M - poor short-term memory - also can't remember if Cacko gave a taskbar icon for inserted cards. They seem to mount automatically.
I'm happy to try a debug version and send you the output. Please don't feel obliged if you don't want to open a new can of Cacko-flavoured worms!!!! But if you do, put a "secret" file on your web site and PM the location to me.

There is now a version 2 of this applet which supports the Sharp Network services. Consequently it now does support Ethernet-type cards and services. Also you do not need to set up a dialup PPP service manually (I just prefer to). It has been tested on the SL-C3100 (Borzoi), mainly running the Sharp ROM, and to a lesser extent using Cacko. The cards used for testing (apart from normal data/memory CF cards) were an Audiovox RTM-8000(P) GSM/GPRS modem, a TRENDnet TE-CF100 Fast Ethernet Adaptor, a Netgear MA701 802.11b Wireless, and a "Blue Monkey" Bluetooth.
The original link to read more about is still valid.

Was it the fadeaway jumper he made over Nick Young? The step-back shot that was too much for Xavier Henry?
The proof must have been on the practice court for the Lakers, who just committed two more years and $48.5 million to Kobe Bryant before really knowing whether their superstar will resemble himself in an actual NBA game.
It's one thing to look formidable in a controlled setting against teammates awed by your presence. The real test comes amid the angry chaos of double teams and flailing arms that await Bryant upon his return to games from a torn Achilles' tendon.
PHOTOS: Kobe Bryant through the years
One gets the sense the Lakers gave Bryant an extension Monday that will preserve his status as one of the league's highest-paid players as a goodwill gesture, like a gold watch for his 20 years of service by the time his new contract expires.
But why do this now, so soon before fully knowing what they have in Bryant and months before gaining any sort of idea about which free agents would be willing to join him next summer in his quest for a sixth diamond-encrusted ring?
"I was pretty surprised by the timing," NBA salary cap expert Larry Coon said about the deal. "I don't see any reason from the Lakers' perspective to do it now, other than to do a solid for Kobe."
According to Coon's always trusty calculations, after Bryant's new contract, the Lakers could have as much as $28.46 million in salary cap space next summer. That would entail, among other things, waiving Steve Nash and using the so-called stretch provision on his remaining $9.7-million salary, costing the Lakers only $3.23 million in cap space next season.
Under this scenario, the Lakers would have room for one maximum-salary player, e.g., Carmelo Anthony, and another player making roughly $5 million. Not bad, but not nearly as good as the prospect of luring Anthony and another star from a free-agent class that may include LeBron James, Zach Randolph, Rudy Gay and Luol Deng.
Plus, unless the Lakers are willing to load their roster with another mishmash of one-year rentals and slog through next season, Bryant's contract erases any possibility of landing one of the top available players in 2015. That's when Kevin Love, Rajon Rondo, LaMarcus Aldridge and Marc Gasol could be on the open market.
If the Lakers signed, say, Anthony next summer and no one else of note, Coon said, it would deprive them of the flexibility to add another maximum-salary player in 2015.
"Hardly enough for Kevin Love," Coon said of the cap space held by the Lakers in that situation. "Not even enough for Courtney Love."
Typically defiant, Bryant refused to take the approach of Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett, who accepted steep discounts in recent years to give their respective teams more resources to build around them.
Not that Bryant doesn't apparently think he did the Lakers a favor by signing a contract that will pay him $23.5 million in 2014-15 and $25 million in 2015-16, which amounts to a pay cut of 26.3%. A maximum contract would have paid Bryant $31.9 million next season.
"The offer presented to me by the lakers [sic]," Bryant wrote on Instagram, "ensures the ability to bring in max talent. #imjusttryintohelpuout lol #dontbslow #keepup #ringsbeforeall."
If Bryant really wanted to put a title ring first, he would have put his contract last, in terms of priority and dollars.
POLL: Is Kobe's contract extension a smart move by Lakers?
Instead the Lakers find themselves stuck somewhere in the middle, a spot that is becoming painfully familiar for a .500 team with a muddled future.
Does Bryant deserve the salary he's making the next two seasons? Absolutely, given he's anywhere close to his old brilliance.
Will taking those dollars give him the best chance to tie Michael Jordan with six championship rings? No way.
Bryant tweeted a picture of his contract Monday morning, evidence he had signed off on the possibility of ending his career without another title.

A number of drinkers were inside a Parramatta pub when a gunman carried out a drive-by shooting overnight, police say.
Police were called to the Albion Hotel after multiple shots were fired into the front windows of the George Street pub about 2.45am.
The pub was trading at the time, and staff and patrons took cover. Police said no-one was injured.
A white car believed to have been used in the drive-by shooting was found abandoned in nearby Tramway Street. It will also undergo scientific examination.
Police said a number of spent bullet casings were also seized as evidence.
The Albion Hotel was targeted on July 13 last year in another shooting that has been linked to the Hells Angels outlaw motorcycle gang.
In that shooting, a number of shots fired towards security officers. No-one was injured.
The Albion Hotel was cordoned off on Friday morning and forensic police are examining the pub.
They will be assisted by officers attached to Operation Apollo, established this month to target gun and organised crime.
Anyone with information about the shooting has been urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Angola, Namibia and South Africa sign world's first large marine ecosystem legal frameworkApr 30, 2013
Benguela, Angola — With the signing of the Benguela Current Convention, Angola, Namibia and South Africa will work together on the long-term conservation and sustainable use of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem, one of the richest ecosystems on earth.
Stretching from Port Elizabeth in South Africa to the province of Cabinda in northern Angola, the Benguela Current is an area of ocean that produces goods and services estimated to be worth at least US $54.3 billion per year. Offshore oil and gas production, marine diamond mining, coastal tourism and commercial fishing and shipping are some of the most important industrial activities that take place in the region.
At the heart of the Benguela Current Convention is cross-national agreement to use the ecologically- and economically-rich ecosystem in a way that carefully balances its long-term preservation and the needs of the people whose livelihoods depend on its use.
"It is the ideal and most effective way to achieve the sustainable management of the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem and ensure the sustainable future of the people who rely on it," said Maria do Valle Ribeiro, who heads the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Angola.
UNDP and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) have been providing funding and technical support for regional cooperation around protecting the Benguela Current since the 1990s. Their backing was key to the successful establishment of the Commission in 2007.
"The historic signing of the Benguela Current Convention represents the culmination of many years of research, consultation and negotiation, all of which have been carried out in a spirit of trust and cooperation," said Hashali Hamukuaya, Executive Secretary of the Benguela Current Commission.
The signing ceremony took place at the seat of the Government of the Province of Benguela and was attended by the Angolan ministers of Fisheries, Science and Technology, Agriculture, Transport and Mines & Energy; the Namibian ministers of Fisheries and Marine Resources, Mines & Energy and Transport; and the South African Minister of Environmental Affairs and Water.
A holistic form of ecosystem management is essential to address increasing threats to complex coastal and marine environments, said Deputy CEO of the GEF André Laperriere.
"Sustainable management is not possible without a legal framework such as the one jointly put in place today by the Governments of Angola, Namibia and South Africa," he said. "The leaders of these countries have clearly shown that it is possible and desirable to see political solutions based on scientific knowledge in order to reverse marine degradation and resource depletion."

EPA / DHA omega 3 fish oil 4-8 grams per day
Hey bros. I'm 27 years old. I've been on TRT since I was 23. As of 2 years ago I committed to blasting/cruising. I cruise at 250mg/wk of test cyp year round; however 2 or 3 times a year I'll blast for 2 or 3 months (usually test/deca/dbol). I'm actually about to do a test/masteron/low low dose dbol blast in a few days. Anyway...THATS ME! Here's my question:
Living this life, I'm looking into the negative sides I could be facing now or down the road. I try to stay incredibly healthy.. i juice beets/carrots everyday, blend up kale shakes. However, no matter how healthy I am, I'm assuming the steroid use can catch up with me.
What do you guys do about high RBC counts? My blood must be so thick year round making my heart work real hard to pump. Barring donating blood, any herbal remedies, supplements or anything else you guys do about this?
Any other interesting things you guys do to keep your insides healthy while living this anabolic lifestyle?
I want to live forever, help
EPA / DHA omega 3 fish oil 4-8 grams per day
Very good question. I'm awaiting bloodwork I just had taken. I was told from earliar blood work my hematocrit and hemoglobin levels were high. My doctor said stroke was possible with real high numbers. My earliar tests were not that high, if I recall he said my hematocrit was an 18.1 (normal range was 13-17). But definately interested in lowering levels. I know donating blood and keeping well hydrated help, and also tabacco use is not good either. Would like to hear if there are any supps or foods that can help, I take a lot of support supps for other things. I also cruise on 300 mgs of test E year round and do one, maybe two 10 week cycles a year.
Yea I take tons of support supplements year round. For heart, however, all I take is hawthorn berry and tons of fish oil.
Bump. Let's keep this thread going. Feel free to throw in anything you guys do to keep yourself healthy while living life on steroids.
Therapeutic blood donation will help as will increasing your hydration, so be sure to get enough fluid intake.

Jshell i think that would be your hemoglobin level. Its measured in g/L. Hematocrit is expressed as a pct and 18.1 would be critically low ( in the need for transfusion low ) 18.1 hgb would make your hematocrit in the 53-55% range which is extremely high.

If your red blood cell count is high take either one adult aspirin per day or a baby aspirin, and try to donate blood giving double reds.
If you happen to be taking ibuprofen for an injury, is the blood being thinned the way it would on aspirin? I injured my knee, but I stayed on a cruise dose of test plus some Deca to avoid too much atrophy and hoped for a little help. I'm TRT so I have been on for a while and wanted to be sure my blood isn't getting too thick. My dang doc ordered the wrong bloodwork so I didn't get my CBC back (but I know my cholesterol is a little off now). I don't know if it would be wise to take aspirin while taking prescription doses of ibuprofen. But I don't want to hurt myself., but don't want to have a stroke either...
and yes I'll be donating blood anyways, but not until Monday so my breathlessness at my workout is concerning me.
also, does blood donation temporarily reduce the immune system ???
A normal dose of ibuprofin (800mg a day) and an aspirin would be fine. Liver support is a good idea and of course proceed with extreme caution if youve ever had any ulsers, otherwise I dont think you'll have an issue . Ive never heard of any weakening to the immune system , and when I do a donation I donate double red cells . They take the blood out, centrifuge it and put the white back.
If you do not have one please get an at home blood pressure monitoring device. Ive got an omron and taken it to the Dr's office to compare readings, its very good and cost me eighty something dollars, well worth it.
As far as a knee injury, take 1500 mg of tumeric every day to help reduce inflammation, and you can then decrease the amount of ibuprofin a little. Also do some research in to the peptide TB500, you might find it better for what you are trying to do.
NSAIDs (even aspirin) are all hard on you kidneys, not just your liver. So are most prescribed blood thinners.
As long as you are healthy and a viable blood donor I don't see why you would just disregard blood donation as a means to help control high RBC.
I don't think you'll find any "magic" combination of supplements that will lower RBC dramatically.
I take more fish and flax oil than most as well as a daily prescribed low dose aspirin.
Even with CKD, the doc recommends I give frequent blood donations to keep RBC in check.
I did not see you mention your BP. I'd be interested to know what it is. What it averages.
Here is my entire protocol i use to keep my health in check. Many will find it excessive; however i err on the side of caution. I included my gear protocol as well.
TRT Protocol ? Year Round
Testosterone Cypionate: 250mg/Week
Deca Durabolin: 100mg/Week (Joint Benefits)
Aromasin: As needed
Blasting Protocol ? 2 or 3x/year for 2 to 3 months/blast
Tesosterone Cypionate: 750 to 850mg/Week
Deca Durabolin: 100 to 350mg/Week
Dianabol: 25 to 50mg/day
Aromasin: 25 to 50mg/day
Flaxseed Oil
Fish Oil
Primerose Oil
Coconut Oil
Dandelion Root
Cats Claw
Hawthorn Berry
Saw Palmetto
Ginkgo Biloba
Celery Seed Extract
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Vitamin E
*Adding a (1) baby aspirin to this protocol
Juicing/Health drinks:
1x/day i juice the following:
(1) large Beet
(4 to 5) Carrots
(1) Lemon
*Adding (1) inch of ginger root to this drink
1x/day i blend up the follow to drink:
A lot of kale leaves
Pinapple juice
Your "blast" periods are too short, IMO.
I'd up them to 16 weeks at a time maybe even 20.
At three times a year for three months that's nine months.
May as well do one or two quality "blasts" and get something out of it.
Again, my opinion.
Still interested in BP (blood pressure).

A petition calling for East Hampton Town to prohibit waterfowl hunting on Montauk's Fort Pond, submitted to the town board last month, prompted a discussion at a board work session on Dec. 18.
A number of pondfront residents had signed the petition circulated by a neighbor, Jane Bimson, who is an advertising sales representative for The East Hampton Star. Board members had requested information from the town's Department of Land Acquisition and Management, which was provided by Andy Gaites.
The majority of the pond's bottomland is owned by the town — 176 acres. Five acres of bottomland are owned by the state, three acres by a group called Fort Pond Partners, and one acre by another private individual.
According to Mr. Gaites's report to the board, the land has not been included on a list in the town code of areas open to hunting.
As owner of the bottomland, the town could enact restrictions on what can happen there, such as where, or how many, duck blinds could be anchored. It is less clear whether the town could say "no hunting" on the pond. Mr. Gaites told the board, however, that the State Department of Environmental Conservation said town officials could designate Fort Pond as a "no-discharge" zone, barring the use of firearms.
"If I were to describe how long people have been hunting on Fort Pond, people would say generations," Supervisor Bill Wilkinson said.
"There are too many people" surrounding the pond nowadays, said Ms. Bimson, who attended the Dec. 18 meeting. "Make it a safe zone for geese, ducks, and swans."
"And people on boats," said Chris Behan, Ms. Bimson's brother, also a Montauk resident.
Last year, Ms. Bimson had told the board, Steven LiPani, another Montauker, was out fishing on the pond when young hunters shot in his direction.
East Hampton Town Police Chief Edward Ecker, who was at last week's meeting for other business, confirmed that the incident involving Mr. LiPani had been reported, but said he knew of no other similar incidents. Police have, however, received calls about shots being fired, he said.
"At the time of this incident, these individuals were engaged in a legal activity that they were doing legally," James Grimes, a Montauk resident and hunter, told the board. He said he had helped train some of the young hunters in hunting practices and safety.
Mr. Grimes suggested that Mr. LiPani might also be at fault for the incident. People "have to be considerate and respectful of every other person," he said. "Hunters have to be considerate of property owners," he said. And others using the pond "have got to be respectful of someone hunting legally."
Hunting season for ducks lasts only between 30 and 45 days, he said. The board, said Mr. Grimes, shouldn't ban hunting on Fort Pond "because the people living on the pond don't like the sound of gunfire."
"Fort Pond . . . is probably one of the most accessible ponds in Montauk," Mr. Grimes said, and is used by a handicapped youth. "This is the only place in East Hampton that he can go down and shoot."
"I think the state law — for safety — is you have to be 500 feet from any residence," Mr. Ecker said. However, hunters shooting across the pond could position themselves closer than that to a house, as long as there was 500 feet of clear area in the direction they were shooting.
The range of a shotgun, said Mr. Wilkinson, in answer to a question from Councilwoman Theresa Quigley, is "45 to 50 yards, at most. After that, it dissipates," he said.
Councilwoman Sylvia Overby asked if there were "alternative sites in Montauk" for waterfowl hunting.
"Plenty," Ms. Bimson answered her.
"In all fairness, every standard can be applied to those sites, as well," Mr. Wilkinson said.
If lots around the pond are now mostly developed, Ms. Overby said, "then maybe something has to give on the other side. If there are alternative sites, then I would like to consider those alternatives."
Ms. Quigley said she lacked information on which to base a decision — the number of hunters desirous of using Fort Pond, for instance. And, she said, "If that's a part of how people have enjoyed the area, then I don't want to just flippantly say stop. It's a careful analysis that has to be made."
"I happen to live near a duck blind, and so I hear the duck blind shots, the shotgun shots going off. I don't have a problem with it. You bought there," Ms. Quigley said.
Mr. Wilkinson asked if "absent of this unfortunate event that happened last year, would we be discussing this?"
"I think so," Ms. Bimson told him, "because my neighbors — they don't want hunting, and this brought it all to a head."
In a letter dated Dec. 18, Jeremy Samuelson, the executive director of Concerned Citizens of Montauk, asked the town board to close the pond to waterfowl hunting, in light of the support of residents around the pond and the availability of other hunting locations. "Not all possible uses are appropriate for all locations," he wrote, adding that the interests of various user groups "must be weighed and accommodated."
But, the letter said, as "Fort Pond is completely encircled by dense residential, commercial, and industrial development . . . the real and possible impacts of waterfowl hunting — as well as the potential for conflict with other user groups and homeowners — are elevated."
Zachary Cohen, the chairman of the town's nature preserve committee, suggested the uses of Fort Pond might be taken up by his committee, which could craft a management plan for the site, as it does for other town-owned lands. The committee could explore the pertinent legal and safety issues, he said. One recommendation, Mr. Cohen suggested, would be to do what the town trustees do regarding trustee-owned bodies of water and institute a permit system for duck blinds, limiting their number and proscribing their locations.
One audience member, Naomi Salz, also weighed in on the issue. "It's hard to believe," she said, that in light of the recent mass shooting in Connecticut "we're sitting here talking about guns being used so freely."
"Accidents do happen," she said. "Guns kill people. And if somebody wants a duck, they should go to Waldbaum's."
"And we should all sit at home and play computer games where we kill each other," Ms. Quigley replied. "The point being, is at least you're outside. And outside is better than inside."

It was brought to my attention yesterday, that should I follow certain links, I may find myself in odd places. Spots usually reserved for those traveling to and from Brooklyn and riding the Tour de France. If you look carefully, you will also find another CYLRAB face in there. Should I be nonplussed?
addendum- I don't do nonplussed too well. I'll just go with my smartass look. More people will recognize me like that.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Energy companies have reoccupied nearly 400 of the production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico that were abandoned in advance of Hurricane Isaac, though oil production remains almost entirely shut down.
Oil and gas workers began retaking the offshore sites Friday and federal officials on Saturday say that 377 of the 596 productions platforms have some staffing on them, up from just 97.
Yet officials estimate that 94 percent of oil production and about 65 percent of natural gas production in the Gulf of Mexico remains shut in in the aftermath of the hurricane.
The U.S. Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement say 19 of the Gulf's 76 drilling rigs are still evacuated, down from 48 as the storm approached.

Apple Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Part One
The mane event?
Out to launch
The differences between running OS X Lion on a notebook and a desktop computer became increasingly evident as my testing progressed. The most telling example was LaunchPad. This is an iOS-style way of launching programs from large, hovering app icons, which is fine alternative on the MacBook Pro to launching tiny program and alias icons littered around the Finder using an imprecise trackpad.
Do you like LaunchPad? Good, because I have another seven screenfuls just like this one
But over on my iMac, which has acquired quite a lot of software over the past couple of years, LaunchPad simply filled my 27in display with scores of icons… in fact, eight screens of them. Another website has compared this to playing 'Where's Wally?' with your programs. Me, I was shouting 'Where the fuck?' at my screen. Apple would have me organise all the icons into groups, like you do in iOS. I started doing that, but soon realised that it's a waste of time.
If I want to run Adobe InDesign CS5.5, I do not want to call up LaunchPad, flit back and forth between screens until I find a group called 'Adobe Creative Suite', click it to open it up and then hunt through the 20 or so programs in there to find InDesign, especially when I also have to distinguish between InDesign CS5, CS4 and CS3 on the same computer. It's far quicker to use Spotlight or a proper third-party launcher app.
Wot not fonts? Safari's new 'Scouse' edition of the BBC News website
Then I made the mistake of running Microsoft Word, after which Safari decided to turn all my fonts into hieroglyphs. Fixing this problem took a lot of nervous cache-clearing (none of my usual font utilities are officially Lion-approved yet) and several restarts before Safari began behaving again. Note, however, Firefox was unaffected.
Maybe these various problems are due to my iMac suffering from too much nerdy Terminal abuse and unmoderated software acquisition, and what I need is to install a clean copy of OS X Lion - but how?

When Google announced plans to fund some 100 new channels of original programming on YouTube, many expected a transformation in television.
But a year later, the revolution has not yet been YouTubed.
Google had disrupted other industries, and TV appeared to be next in line. Just as a handful of networks begat a few 100 cable channels, YouTube would now foster the birth of thousands of channels online.
Since it was founded in 2005, YouTube has been predominately the home of user-created video, and 72 hours of video are uploaded every minute. But the site is trying to lure viewers to stay longer and coax advertisers to pair their brands with known talent.
YouTube is now doubling down on its investment. It recently expanded into Europe with another 50-plus channels. And it is reinvesting in 40 percent of the channels that have already launched. That means more than half of the channels have failed to catch on, yet it's still a rate of success that any network programmer would kill for.
"What we're trying to do is galvanize the creative and advertising community," Robert Kyncl, YouTube's global head of content and the leader of its channels initiative, said in an interview. "And we're succeeding at that."
YouTube has declined to make public the size of its investment. The initial channel launch was reportedly fueled by $100 million, a number YouTube executives dispute. Kyncl will go no further than to confirm the $200 million he pledged to spend marketing the channels at YouTube's TV-style upfront presentation to advertisers in May – a flashy event capped by a performance by Jay-Z, who recently launched a lifestyle channel called Life and Times.
Jamie Byrne, director of content strategy, said the second round of funding would be relatively similar to the amount of the first round, on a per-channel basis. Those not being offered more money aren't canceled; they are encouraged to keep going but will have to pay their own way.
The fabric of the site has been reoriented to emphasize a user's playlist of channels, a move that has increased channel subscribers by 50 percent, executives say.
Forrester analyst James McQuivey, who specializes in digital video and was among those who predicted YouTube's channels would be a landmark shift, has not seen the progress he expected. He would like to see YouTube try to produce some mainstream originals, as Netflix and Hulu have, in order to attract mass audiences, not just niche ones.
"They haven't really changed the way people watch TV," McQuivey said. "That said, to have expected to do that in a year would have been kind of crazy.
Perhaps the closest a YouTube channel has come to a mainstream viewing event was Red Bull's Oct.14 webcast of daredevil Felix Baumgartner's free-fall jump from space. Some 52 million watched the channel's live stream, a viewership that far outpaced the 7.6 million who watched it on the Discovery Channel in the U.S.
Most programming has been more of the talk show variety. Rainn Wilson gets metaphysical on his channel "Soul Pancake." Amy Poehler gives young women a role model with "Smart Girls." Shaquille O'Neal flexes a new muscle with "Comedy Shaq."
The most popular few channels typically draw 5 million to 10 million viewers weekly. Most channels, though, receive less than 100,000 views per week, and some draw just a few thousand.

Our local tech entrepreneurs: Chris Hardie '99, Eric Dimick Eastman '96, Mark Stosberg '98 , Nick Fankhauser '87, Paul Retherford '90 and Ray Ontko '84.
No one would mistake Richmond, Ind. for the Silicon Valley, but for several Earlham alumni, Main Street in Richmond has proven fertile ground to grow information technology businesses. In a stretch that includes some thriving local businesses — like Veach's Toy Store and Joy Ann's Bake Shop — but even more empty storefronts, several businesses owned and operated by Earlham grads have taken root. These companies are providing services — and creating jobs — according to decidedly 21st Century models.
Ray Ontko '84 was a pioneer in Richmond's technology sector. After an initial foray as an independent software developer (in partnership with Charlie Peck '84, associate professor of computer science), Ontko went on to start a technology consulting company, Ray Ontko & Co. He later co-founded Doxpop, LLC, which provides electronic access to public documents (like mortgages, deeds and court case summaries) to subscribers in most Indiana counties.
With 13 employees, and ambitions to offer services in other states, Ontko's companies are examples of how I.T. entrepreneurs are discovering niche markets online, and harnessing new technologies to provide sought after services in this digital age. Ontko says that Doxpop has allowed him to combine his interest in technology with a desire to move to a new phase of professional life.
"When we founded Doxpop in 2000, I was consulting with clients all over the eastern half of the United States, and I was looking for an opportunity to spend less time traveling and also use the knowledge I had gained in a way that could serve clients," Ontko recalls. He partnered with Nick Fankhauser '87, a former Wayne County I.T. Director, to create products that could serve the needs of county governments as well as those (including attorneys) who need access to official documents.
Ontko, a member of the Earlham Board of Trustees, notes with some satisfaction that he has also hired several younger Earlham alumni to work in his company, and that some of them have gone on to start their own local businesses.
One such successful I.T. entrepreneur is Paul Retherford '90, principal of two ventures, Scan Power and inCirrus which together employ six people.
Scan Power provides services to businesses that want to sell items online and distribute them using Amazon's fulfillment services. Rutherford (and his business partner, Chris Green) create applications that allow entrepreneurs to market their products through Amazon's popular website and distribute them through the vast network of warehouses and shipping and receiving facilities that Amazon created to ensure fast delivery of products ordered online.
"We have between 1600-2000 customers, ranging from mom-and-pop operations to businesses that do millions of dollars in sales. By providing these services, we allow people to focus their energies on other aspects of their business. It's a model that benefits buyers, sellers and us."
InCirrus is a consulting company that helps clients use "cloud computing" solutions to run their businesses more effectively. Retherford worked for Ontko's consulting business for ten years, and with Ontko's blessing, started inCirrus with clients he first worked with through Ray Ontko & Co.
Cloud computing refers to data stored on computers at a distance from the user and accessed via the Internet. An increasingly popular approach, the Cloud allows businesses to rent computer storage space for their data without buying the computers themselves.
"One of the great advantages of the cloud is that businesses pay to use only as much computing power as they need at a given time. It's great for small businesses because their expenses can grow as their revenues grow."
Eric Dimick Eastman '96 is a case in point of the power of the cloud. He and his partner, George Knecht, created a business called Green Filing, also based in Richmond. The company uses computers that are physically located in Virginia to provide electronic court filing services in Utah.
Lawyers and others can subscribe to Green Filing's service and file necessary official documents without the use of paper. Dimick Eastman notes that Utah has proved to be a good market for the service, as new state regulations will soon require electronic filings in many courts. He believes, however, that the services his company offers could expand to other states.
"If technology is used properly, electronic filing can be secure and convenient," says Dimick Eastman. "Also, we estimate that we have so far saved at least two million sheets of paper in Utah."
Dimick Eastman, who works out of an office in the Uptown Innovation Center (a business incubator, also on Main Street) echoed the thoughts of his fellow Earlhamites and noted that the low cost of living and friendly high tech community make Richmond an attractive place to start and grow a business. A former employee of Ontko, Dimick Eastman recently hired his first employee — fellow Earlham graduate and software developer James Patrick '12.
Chris Hardie '99 and Mark Stosberg '98 founded Summersault in 1997, and have grown it into a thriving website development firm that offers a full range of services including design, consulting, hosting and support. From humble beginnings in a Bundy Hall dormroom, the company has grown to serve a wide range of clients — from adoptapet.com to Cope Environmental Center.
Summersault now has nine employees — from developers to sales people — and like its neighbors on Main Street, the company is always seeking new opportunities.
Hardie is particularly interested in finding ways to build community through the web.
"We're working on some new tools for communities across the country who are looking for new and innovative ways to use online tools for conversations about economic development, community improvement and sustainable growth," says Hardie. "These are tools that we've been test-driving in our own backyard, and we're excited to help others make use of them."
A member of the alumni council and a booster of many local causes, Hardie is pleased to see fellow Earlhamites making an economic impact in downtown Richmond.
"It's great to see our technology sector emerge, and it's of course great to see a lot of that driven by Earlham-educated entrepreneurs," Hardie says.

39 Reasons To Wear Make-Up
I mean, the first reason is obviously that you're a coward.
But when we noted that wearing make-up and bravery seem not connected readers came up with others – sometimes cowardice inspired! – reasons for wearing make-up. Hell, one of our readers doesn't even have a face without make-up, and we support their right to have eyes.
Though the entry above really stood out (in part because of that artful use of blue facepaint). Her name is Ashley. Her cousin submitted this story on our behalf:
Here's a picture of my cousin Ashley circa 1985. She's all dolled up like a true toddler tart. (Take that pageant moms!) Despite the caked-up makeup, she's secretly SUPER BRAVE. Ashley was recently diagnosed with a super rare, super scary form of cancer that they still aren't quite sure how to treat. So in the face of this she decided, "Oh, I think I'll start a foundation for other single moms in my position, because cancer sucks for everyone." So, even though she's no chicken, I think you should hook her up with the swag bag.
I'd be happy to share her blog or foundation information upon request, but my goal here is to score her some cool shit.
She gets all the cool shit.
The foundation is called Until The End, and you can check it out, here.
But all of these people are – well, indispituably not winners in this particular contest – but perhaps winners in life. Seriously, I love this gallery. I know it takes forever to flip through slideshows, and I wish I had a better way to lay this out, but I I think that you should read it. Because it's fun. And so that if someone asks you why you paint your face, you will have things to say that are not, necessarily, "because I am not brave." Unless you aren't! That's cool, too.

Item: Asus 11.6" Touchscreen Core i3 VivoBook
Price: $299.99
Shipping Options: $5 Standard
Condition: Refurbished
Search Amazon Search Google
CNet Review
1.4 mghz seems awfull slow for 2013.
This was exactly what I was looking for, something lightweight, portable, with a built-in pointer option (instead of buying a trackball).... if I didn't just order a slate from ASUS already.
The slate is half the weight, but also half the functionality. Granted, using GiMP with a touchscreen is never an accurate thing, a laptop is still better than a slate for image manipulation.
While a 2nd gen i3 processor isn't exactly future-proof, it will do the job better than a portable processor (or until the next line of full-fledged CPUs arrive)
Proud to own one of these, they're some serious bang for your buck. Not the fastest if you're going to do gaming, etc. but it's got a surprisingly amazing keyboard and the build quality is something else. All aluminum!
Touchscreen is a novelty at best but comes in handy occasionally.
All in all, this is an absolute STEAL at $299. Brand new they're around $450.
Buy now. Seriously.

any way to get a protection plan on it?
aron82e wrote:any way to get a protection plan on it?
SquareTrade does warranties on refurbs. Wait to use a 30% off coupon.
I'd call this a fair deal. I recently bought the newer version of this (Ivy Bridge i3 and thus HD4000 vs Sandy Bridge / HD3000 - I think they're otherwise identical) for $360 from B&H, having missed a prior deal elsewhere for $350. New, not refurb. So you save $60 from an excellent price if you're willing to take a refurb and one step older CPU.
I gave the computer to my sister, who had been complaining about her archaic laptop for literally years but is averse to actually buying new tech. (Families!) I played with it first, though, and in general was very impressed with how much tech got crammed into such a small space and price. RAM is not upgradeable, as is also true of most in this segment. Not mad for the i3 in general or Windows 8, but maybe I'm just averse to change. It's plenty enough power to do most things.
I read somewhere (AnandTech?) that this is the second most popular computer sold on Amazon after the Chromebook.
These are really nice little lightweight notebooks. Graphics are the Intel HD graphics built into the i3 processor, so you won't be doing any demanding gaming on this system, but people looking for a system to handle demanding 3D games would know that already.
I recommended one of these to a dear friend a couple of months back and he bought new it from Amazon. Really nice. Small, lightweight, reasonable (though not stellar) battery life, good keyboard, nice bright (but only 1366x768) screen...with touch!
The touch interface with the screen works very well with Win 8. With the coming free update to Windows 8.1, I expect things will only get better.
If I had the money right now I'd snag one of these myself. Good deal at the roughly 480 dollar new retail price. For 299 I think this is a steal.
On edit...
One big feature the bought new version comes with that this refurb does not: If bought new it comes with a full year of accidental damage protection for free if you register with Asus within 30 days of purchase. That alone is worth at least some of the price difference.
icehands wrote:SquareTrade does warranties on refurbs. Wait to use a 30% off coupon.
Does anybody know the model number?
The new version is: X202E-DH31T.
If this is like the model at Best Buy, that keyboard is not backlit. Something to keep in-mind.
I almost forgot since it looks so much like my Asus model, which DOES have the backlit keyboard.
Still neat but it helps at times like, right now, when I'm in the bed, in the dark, typing away.
I just bought a new one two days ago! For $370 with rewards worth $76 to use in rakuten.com!This one has a touchable screen, with a win8 OS. It's the lowest touchable laptop in the market! The i3 chip is not powerful, but enough for everyday use, such as surfing the internet and office work. The battery sucks but I'm OK with that. However, the display quality is really not satisfactory. It's relatively dimmer compared to a normal laptop. But overall, it's a good buy!
I just checked the product page and sadly it turns out that the cheap price is gone...The current price is $424.90, and the price in Amazon also increased from $390 to $424.90, which seems an overall price increase by ASUS!
A friend recently got one NEW on an Amazon deal for $249!
1SaleADay had this for $259 refurbed.
I'll hold off until I can get the real deal. THIS isn't IT!
ronfronberg wrote:Does anybody know the model number?

The model numbers seem to match, but the processors DO NOT. I'm going to ping staff in the morning and see if we can't discover the original model number.
Thanks for the find! :D
Yeah, everywhere else I look for this, I see the 3rd-generation i3 listed (i3-3217U 1.8 GHz). The processor listed here is a 2nd-generation (i3-2365M 1.4GHz). It's impossible to find this version anywhere else. Very strange.
For $289 at amazon.com, there is a -NEW- ASUS F55A-ES01 Laptop with:
Intel Celeron B830 Processor (1.8 GHz)
320 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, Intel GMA HD
Windows 8
or for $10 more, there is a Lenovo G585 Laptop with:
AMD Brazos 2.0 E1-1500 Processor (1.48 GHz)
320 GB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
15.6-Inch Screen, ATI Radeon HD 7310 Integrated Graphics
Windows 8
5-hour battery life
Both have free shipping available.

Those aren't really comparable as they are not touchscreen laptops and are 15 inches instead of 11. They also have slower processors.
Not 100% certain this is the exact same model but the specs on this match the Q200E-BHI3T45.
Just looked at both of the links on Amazon because I was thinking about the competition. I was not impressed.
The first option has no free shipping available and would end up being 370.
The second option I don't see any for 300 dollars nor do I see any options being 305 or less when combined with shipping.
Neither of these are touch screens as well but the touch screens aren't a deal breaker but they do add value.

It is highly inappropriate to use the imagery of a person pointing a firearm in a dangerous manner, and I support responsible ownership of firearms.

There is a BIG difference (literally) between an 11.6" laptop and a 15.6" laptop. And bigger is NOT always better.
cowboyesfan wrote:The VivoBook X202E was unable to complete our 3DMark11 benchmark tests
LOL! you're not comparing the correct laptop. Although the model appears the same the specs are different, meaning there is a subtype model difference. The one in the PC MAG article was using a B987 processor and Intel GMA HD- the one presented today has an I3-2365M and HD3000 video. I am pretty confident that this laptop could complete 3DMark because the HD3000 has a G3D benchmark that is almost 3x the G3D benchmark of the GMA HD.
conanthelibrarian wrote:Laptopmag.com Review
This review is not the same Laptop. The review has the i3-3217UM and HD 4000, todays laptop is I3-2365M and HD3000. The reviewed laptop is a little better than todays Woot.
I have the x202E and it is not a bad little machine for everyday use. Web browsing, office, etc- it is fine. It is really light and I find it to be just the right size for something portable. I can type on it without it being frustrating (couldn't stand the 10 inch netbooks), but I can also rest it on the arm of the couch. Build quality is really nice for the price. I use the touch screen occasionally but usually use gestures on the mouse pad.
I actually had a bad touch screen on mine (got it Xmas). The screen basically had a bad spot on it like a ghost finger was always touching one spot and shaking it. Asus support was great though- I sent it in and they turned it around quickly with a new screen.
I remember this when I was shopping- best buy had a model Q200 or Q202 that had the 1.4 GHZ processor. This was exclusive to best buy and they had it as one of their black friday deals. So, either the model number is wrong on woot or the specs are wrong. If it is the X202E then pretty sure it has the 1.8 GHZ processor.
If this is the 1.8 for $300 then it is not a bad deal.
I got one of these for $399 weeks ago with free Shipping when it was on sale from B&H Photo. It is painfully slow and the touchscreen is not that responsive. It turns out that the RAM memory is soldered onto the motherboard and is not user upgradable. Most "Ultrabooks" have Solid State drives, but not this one, it has a hard drive instead. I guess I can't complain for the bargain basement price of a touchscreen that is thin and lightweight. The Aluminium housing is just as rugged as my Macbook Pro.
tljx wrote:Those aren't really comparable as they are not touchscreen laptops and are 15 inches instead of 11. They also have slower processors.
I agree. No comparison.
Can anyone verify if this has BLUETOOTH?
I don't see any mention of it here,but,all other similar models elsewhere have it.
Finally Woot offers a Windows 8 computer with a touchscreen. I can't even rag on Windows 8 anymore, because now people can finally appreciate what windows 8 was truly designed for...a touch interface. I would still download classic shell (or one of the other utilities) for when you are on the desktop side to get the start menu back. The Windows touch interface is intuitive, easy to use, very smooth. I have been using it on an ExoPC slate that is running on an Atom n450 processor (way less powerful than this I3)and it still runs smooth. The only problem with windows 8 is that their Apps are very limited when compared with Apple and Android. Although their weather App is really cool. It would be nice if they had a search field when you are under the APPs category. Instead you have to search for a particular app via the generic search function- which is fine, but a search field should also be included on the Apps page. The true greatness here is that you have a touch device for quick browsing, apps...yet you also have a regular PC where you can have office, install printers,and do all the regular PC stuff. Windows 8 works perfectly here.

Bluetooth USB 4.0 is like $11. That shouldn't be the deal breaker for this.

Storico Fresco's founder, Mike Patrick, began exploring the Italian countryside three years ago, hoping to find some of the world's most extraordinary pasta recipes. He found them by working in small pasta shops, in monasteries, in the homes of Italian grandmothers and on traditional Italian farms.
During these journeys, the chef and sommelier not only learned a lot about Old World cooking, he discovered that Italy and its pasta have a problem. These extraordinary recipes are disappearing.
Inspired to preserve these endangered recipes and the traditional ways of making them, Mike founded Storico Fresco Pasta (Storico Fresco means "fresh history" in Italian) to create a line of pastas which are faithful, handmade reproductions of these great, Italian foods.
Storico Fresco has partnered with "Four Seasons Natura e Cultura", an Italy-based tour operator promoting responsible and sustainable tourism. They specialize in walking holidays, cultural tours and archaeological itineraries for groups and for individual travelers.
Travel in March 15-24 to discover the Flavors of Le Marche
Although Marche is one of the smallest regions in Italy, its menus and kitchens show off many rich examples of Italian cooking. Hard-to-find foods made with ancient recipes have evolved over centuries at local monasteries settled in the hillscapes between Rome and the Adriatic Sea. The food there is also known as "the holy food of Cucina dello Spirito," and you'll learn firsthand how the monks and nuns use it to feed the both the body and the soul.
The food in central Marche is called "the food of the countrymen" and most of the recipes there are based on legumes, olive oil and ricotta cheese. And the beautiful lands of the Duke of Urbino is where you'll discover the ancient pasta lumachelle, and see where one of the world's best truffles has been hunted since the times of the Romans.

So OK, the week started off with a yuk- (and yuck-) worthy anecdote. But believe me, it was no trouble. I'd looked forward to Solo Week for a long time, mostly because seven years of parenting has taught me that I really like this stuff. I like getting the boys ready for school, and mingling with other parents at drop-off. I like giving TwoBert the Big Daddy Squeeze right after he gets up from his nap. I like all the mundane household cleaning and erranding. I don't know what that says about me as a man, and whether I fell off the bed a few too many times as an infant, but dammit, it makes me happy.
After the clog was dislodged, everything absolutely did all go downhill from there. And by downhill, I mean it was great. I don't get why people refer to "downhill" as a bad thing, since there's no such thing as a "downhill battle." But then again, I don't get why people substitute "hopefully" for "I hope," or say they "could care less" about something, or use terms like "verbage" and "foilage" and "intensive purposes." But that's just me, your friendly neighborhood SAHD wannabe/usage nerd.
We had a few revelations during the week. I'm happy to report, most importantly, that Robert seems to be over A-Rod. I offered him his A-Rod t-shirt to wear to school, and he roundly refused, adding: "Why don't you give this to some jerk who likes him?" This could be an all-important step toward curing his Yankophilia. And TwoBert, ever the philosopher, is impressed by my beard and wants to know why I can't grow one on my head.
But the week's signature flourish came when I Netflixed Charlie Kaufman's latest, "Synecdoche, New York." After I'd finished cleaning my ex-wife's bathroom, I saw a character (and this isn't a spoiler, given the film's complexity) become obsessed with cleaning his ex-wife's bathroom. I was sucked into meta-reality, wondered openly whether anyone was staging my own life, and spent the next half hour scrubbing my brain parts out of the living room carpet.

Quality Track Equipment, a division of Delta Railroad Construction, hosted the event at their newly-opened rehab facility and Thomas Blackmon, Jr., of Blackmon Auctions and his team did an outstanding job of running the auction proceedings, said the NRC.
Consignors sold around 250 pieces of rail construction equipment to dozens of bidders from all over the United States, Canada and Mexico. Auctioned items ranged from pallets of spare parts to backhoes, ballast regulators, grapples, hi-rail trucks, rail heaters, rail threaders, rail saws, speed swings, spike drivers and pullers, tampers and trailers. High-profile pieces auctioned included a 7700 Tamper and a TRIPP tie remover/inserter. Equipment prices were competitive, with the typical auction surprises on both the high and the low side, but overall were reasonable and reflected a healthy market for used and rehabilitated railroad construction and maintenance equipment.
Along with consignments from dozens of contractors, suppliers and railroads, equipment donations to the NRC Auction this year were a backhoe from Balfour Beatty Rail and a hi-rail trailer and light plant tower from Delta Railroad Construction. Funds from these donations will go to the NRC Safety & Education Training program, which will allow the NRC to continually strengthen its efforts to ensure the safety of everyone in the rail industry.
