Browns impressed with Robert Griffin III's toughnesss
If Robert Griffin III does not play for the Redskins on Sunday, the most surprised player in the Browns' locker room will be his former teammate at Baylor, defensive tackle Phil Taylor.
"He's a tough kid," Taylor said after practice Wednesday. "If he doesn't play, he's really hurt. I know him to play through pain. That injury looked really bad. After he tore his ACL in college, he played a whole series."
Colt McCoy is playing the role of Griffin in practice for the Browns defense. McCoy is quicker than Browns starting quarterback Brandon Weeden, but McCoy is no Griffin.
Griffin has thrown 18 touchdown passes for the Redskins and rushed for six more while galloping for 748 yards. That is one more touchdown than the entire Browns offense has scored. His 104.2 passer rating is the highest in the league.
On Tuesday, Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon told ESPN backup quarterback Kirk Cousins will start Sunday in the final home game of 2012 in Cleveland Browns Stadium.
Before practice on Wednesday, Browns coach Pat Shurmur told his players not to pay any attention to any reports coming out of Washington — Garcon's bulletin included. That warning gained more validity after Griffin was limited in the Redskins practice because when Griffin met with reporters he sounded, as Taylor expressed, a tough quarterback determined to play.
"It's getting better every day," Griffin told reporters. "Sunday night, I thought there was probably no chance I could play the next week. Then Monday morning I felt better about it. Yesterday I felt better about it and today I feel really good about it. I'm the happiest guy in the world right now."
Shurmur said the Browns are preparing for the Redskins offense — not a specific quarterback because it could be that Griffin is the one throwing up a smokescreen.
Griffin was injured late in the fourth quarter in the game against Baltimore last week after running for 13 yards. As he was being tackled, his right leg pointed toward the sky and Ravens defensive linemen Haloti Ngata dived across him hitting him in the thigh, and contorting Griffin's leg at a gruesome sideways angle.
The Browns will show no mercy if Griffin does play. They want to hit first, ask questions later and do everything they can to make sure Griffin does not fake them out of their socks with his deft option plays. Because if Griffin does get around the corner in open space the Browns will be hard-pressed to catch him. Continued...
"Like my high school coach, Danny Hays, used to say, 'You have to hit everything in the backfield,'" Taylor said. "You can't go wrong when you hit everything in the backfield. We have to fire off the ball and whip the offensive line's butt."
Both teams have to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Browns are 5-8 and seeded ninth in the AFC. The Redskins are 7-6 and seeded seventh in the NFC, but if the Browns win Washington could tumble to ninth or lower. Six teams in each conference make the playoffs.
Browns rookie receiver Josh Gordon also played with Griffin. He caught 43 passes for 721 yards and seven touchdowns in 2010 when he and Griffin were at Baylor. Gordon has great respect for the way Griffin throws the ball.
"He doesn't hesitate," Gordon said. "He reads the safeties and the cornerbacks. Even before the DB turns his hips, he'll throw the ball. He's really good at reading things before they happen."
Griffin and the Redskins won't play in Cleveland again until 2020 because of the schedule rotation the NFL uses.
The Browns were in the market for RG3 leading up to the draft last year but they did not trump the Redskins' offer to the Rams for the second overall pick in the draft.
Washington traded its first-round pick in 2012, 2013 and 2014 plus its second-round pick in 2012 to the Rams for the second overall pick.
The Browns, not knowing what the Redskins offered, were willing to trade their two first-round picks in 2012 (picks 4 and 22) plus their first-round pick in 2013.
The Rams told both teams before the bidding started to make their first offer their best offer. The Browns did not get the chance to add a second-round pick to their offer.
Instead of getting Griffin, the Browns drafted running back Trent Richardson and Weeden in the first round plus right tackle Mitchell Schwartz in the second round. All three are starters. They still have their first-round pick in April.

Stay protected from zero-days.
Open all
While exploits and vulnerabilities are a common problem for users, zero-day exploits in high-profile applications are relatively rare. That was not the case in the first quarter of 2013. Multiple zero-day exploits were found targeting popular applications like Java and Adobe Flash Player, Acrobat, and Reader.
In addition, as predicted, we saw improvements in already-known threats like spam botnets, banking Trojans, and readily available exploit kits.
Other high-profile incidents include the South Korean cyber attacks in March, which reiterated the dangers targeted attacks pose. On the mobile front, fake versions of popular apps remained a problem though phishers found a new target in the form of mobile browsers.
Stay up-to-date to stay protected.
Experts have been predicting the coming "post-PC" era for a few years. So the question has been, "when will we know that it's really here?" A simple answer is, we'll know it's really here when cybercriminals move beyond the PC. By that measure, 2012 is truly the year we entered the post-PC era as cybercriminals moved to embrace Android, social media platforms, and even Macs with their attacks.
Android seems to be repeating history by way of Windows. The platform's growing dominance in the mobile landscape echoes that of Windows in the desktop and laptop space. And much like Windows, Android's popularity is making it a prime target for cybercriminals and attackers, albeit at a much faster pace.
Smartphones are to the early 21st century what the PC was to the late 20th century–a universal tool valued for its productivity and fun factor but hated for the problems it can bring. Since smartphones are handheld computers that communicate, the threats they face are both similar and different from the PC challenges many of us are familiar with. Like the PC, many of today's mobile malware prey upon the unwary. However, the nature of the mobile malware threat is, in some ways, very different.
Malware targeting Google's Android platform increased nearly sixfold in the third quarter of 2012. What had been around 30,000 malicious and potentially dangerous or high-risk Android apps in June increased to almost 175,000 between July and September.
This report will examine what led to the increase and what it means for users and developers alike.

Two of the hottest buzzwords circulating in the IT world today are "SCADA" and "cloud computing." Combining the two technologies has been discussed and is starting to gather more attention in connection with cost savings, system redundancy, and uptime benefits. The question then is: "Are the savings substantial enough to offset the security concerns that users may have if they migrate integral SCADA devices to the cloud?"
At the end of 2012, Trend Micro cited three reasons why we think Africa is poised to become a new cybercrime harbor. We cited the availability of fast Internet access, the expanding Internet user base, and the lack of cybercrime laws in some African countries as the main reasons why Trend Micro believes so.
This research paper discusses the reasons cited above in more detail. By taking a look at the recent developments in the continent's Internet infrastructure, we will map Africa's journey to becoming a safe harbor for cybercriminals in the next three years or so.
Industrial control systems (ICS) are devices, systems, networks, and controls used to operate and/or automate industrial processes. These devices are often found in nearly any industry—from the vehicle manufacturing and transportation segment to the energy and water treatment segment.
Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) networks are systems and/or networks that communicate with ICS to provide data to operators for supervisory purposes as well as control capabilities for process management. As automation continues to evolve and becomes more important worldwide, the use of ICS/SCADA systems is going to become even more prevalent.
ICS/SCADA systems have been the talk of the security community for the past two years due to Stuxnet, Flame, and several other threats and attacks. While the importance and lack of security surrounding ICS/SCADA systems is well-documented and widely known, this research paper illustrates who's really attacking Internet-facing ICS/SCADA systems and why. It also covers techniques to secure ICS/SCADA systems and some best practices to do so.
This research paper documents the Asprox botnet's current operations. The botnet comprises several components that work together to sustainably send out spam related to "rogue pharma" or that contains malware used to increase its size. In addition, Asprox issues commands that instruct compromised computers to download additional payloads provided by a pay-per-install (PPI) affiliate, from which botnet operators earn revenue.

As 2012 drew to a close, SMBs, along with most organizations, should have taken a step back and learned from the past year. With mobile devices fast becoming part of workplaces and the increased availability of cloud services, SMBs should adopt security practices to fully protect their assets. This year, the Android malware volume is expected to hit the 1 million mark. The continuous use of cloud services will also play a key part in the SMB threat environment. This primer runs through five predictions SMBs should take note of.
In 2013, managing the security of devices, small business systems, and large enterprise networks will be more complex than ever before. Users are breaking down the PC monoculture by embracing a wider variety of platforms, each with its own user interface, OS, and security model. Businesses, meanwhile, are grappling with protecting intellectual property and business information as they tackle consumerization, virtualization, and cloud platforms head-on. This divergence in computing experience will further expand opportunities for cybercriminals and other threat actors to gain profit, steal information, and sabotage their targets' operations.
Users face various unwanted app routines in the current mobile landscape. Given this situation, market owners have taken certain measures like providing safety guidelines, conducting prerelease quality assurance checks, and introducing access permission layers at the OS level. Unfortunately, these are still far from being fool-proof solutions. The reality is: Users are responsible for checking if the apps they download are legitimate or not.
When was the last time you played chess? If you are responsible for cyber security you are unwittingly playing it every day. We must appreciate the ancient sport of chess in order to reorganize our defense in 2013.

Mentor controlled deer hunt starts Saturday (with document)
Mentor city staff are hoping to be matchmakers of sorts this deer-hunting season.
There is a "fair amount" of interest from hunters searching for property owners who will allow hunting on their land, natural resource specialist Nick Mikash said.
"We would like to hear from homeowners if they are looking for hunters as well," he said.
The city's new white-tailed deer hunting ordinance — allowing bowhunting only — takes effect Saturday, a week after the start of the state's archery season.
More than 50 permit application packets have gone out from city hall in recent weeks, and many more likely are being obtained off the city's website, Mikash said.
Hunting will run the duration of archery season, through Feb. 3, and there is no application deadline nor limit for permits issued. At least 15 applications had been turned in earlier this week, several hunters already have qualified for the hunt and property inspections are under way.
A couple applications weren't approved because the hunter lacked sufficient land, Mikash said. The ordinance requires at least 5 acres on up to three contiguous properties.
Meanwhile, city officials are putting the finishing touches on a deer culling permit application to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. The culling program, involving police sharpshooters, is anticipated to run in January and February.
The state requires an accurate minimum estimate of the number of deer expected to be taken by culling, Mentor Parks Director Bob Martin said.
"That's where the challenge is for us," he said, noting that a suspected disease outbreak is complicating matters. Continued...
Five deer had to be put down by city officers last weekend because they were believed to have epizootic hemorrhagic disease — an acute, infectious, often fatal viral disease in white-tailed deer — according to the ODNR website.
The deer contract EHD from biting midges, which typically live near water. The disease is not spread from deer to deer nor from deer to humans. Once infected, deer show symptoms within five to 10 days. They initially lose appetite and fear of man, grow progressively weaker, often salivate excessively and become unconscious. Many deer die within 36 hours of the onset of symptoms.
Up to now, Ohio wildlife and animal health officials confirmed localized outbreaks in Ashtabula, Columbiana, Geauga, Holmes, Paulding, Portage, Ross and Summit counties.
"All indications are that's what they had," Mentor Police Chief Dan Llewellyn said. "They were very lethargic and frothing at the mouth."
He said his research indicates that the insects carrying the disease will die out with the first hard frost.
State wildlife officials stressed that hunters should report deer that appear to be sick or diseased to their local wildlife officer. Deer that appear unhealthy should never be taken for human food, they said.
Property owners interested in having a hunt on their land may contact a natural resource specialist at 440-974-5717 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Plus a ton of parents won't let their kids buy or watch Transformers after that R performance. If you claim the movie "megatron"'s act of violent R-rated vamirism is pulled directly from any Transformers series or storyline, let alone any version of Megatron, then you need to re-watch every TV show and re-read every comic.
In Armada, Wheeljack shot Hot Shot at point blank range.
In Rebirth, Daniel got seriously effed up by one of the Decepticons, and almost died.
In RiD, Galvatron tried to kill every child on the planet.
And you're mad because Megatron is doing spark extraction?
Point blank isn't that bad. A shot anywhere in Transformers is fine. Daniel wasn't brutally mauled. I haven't been able to find all of the RID episodes, but I'm sure he didn't plan to rip out their hearts and eat them. Movie "Megatron" isn't doing "spark extraction", he's ripping open Transformers and eating them with his mouth. Nothing you listed is a bad as that.

Thanks to wimb for having taken the time to start the actual testing.
Look, i am very busy. When i find something useful i post it on this site. In retrospect its easy to i should have done this, i should have done that. The microsoft blog said this worked fine without any issues. I had no reason to doubt 2 microsoft employees who said this worked fine. Dont shoot the messenger. If you have a complaint direct it at the original source - the microsoft blog. It would be nice to get a thanks every once in awhile.

Mitch Landrieu
Cheryl Gerber/Associated Press
POLITICAL FAMILY The fifth of nine children born into a New Orleans political family. His father, Moon Landrieu, was mayor from 1970 to 1978 and oversaw the desegregation of City Hall, surrounding himself with a multiracial brain trust. Mitch Landrieu's sister Mary is a Democratic senator representing Louisiana.
ROAD TO THE MAYOR'S OFFICE A state legislator for 16 years until he became lieutenant governor in 2003. He ran unsuccessfully for mayor of New Orleans twice, first in 1994 and then in 2006. The latter campaign was an emotionally charged election less than a year after Hurricane Katrina that pitted him against C. Ray Nagin, who was seeking a second term. Mr. Nagin won with 53 percent of the vote and was precluded by term limits from running again.
THIRD TIME THE CHARM In 2010, the two candidates who presented the biggest challenge to Mr. Landrieu were both businessmen, and each ran on an outsider's platform, as Mr. Nagin had. But voters chose Mr. Landrieu, a consummate insider, by an overwhelming margin.

Character history
Beast Boy's parents, Mark and Marie Logan, were geneticists that would travel the jungles of the world to study their wildlife. Beast Boy was brought up in the jungles of Brazil, Africa, India and several other places. The Logans particularly became interested in a rare species of green monkey, however, the day they finally found it, Beast Boy was bitten by the creature and contracted a serious illness called Sakutia. To save him, his parents attempted to cure him with a new serum, which bestowed him with his shape-changing abilities. As a side effect, his skin, hair, and eyes turned green. His parents later died in a boating accident, which to this day Beast Boy believes he could've prevented, leaving Beast Boy an orphan. Afterward, Beast Boy, determined to join Doom Patrol, broke into their headquarters. He was treated as an intruder, but his efforts to escape capture impressed them, thus earning his membership on the team.
Beast Boy was originally the youngest member of the Doom Patrol. However, Mento's harsh discipline and less-than-encouraging attitude finally alienated him from his surrogate family, and he struck out on his own. Looking for a new place to live, he came to Jump City, where he encountered Robin, Starfire, Raven, and Cyborg and aided them in liberating Starfire from her Gordanian captors. Afterward, the five formed a new team on their own, the Teen Titans.
Throughout his career with the Titans, Beast Boy keeps exhibiting a very carefree jokester attitude which often causes a great deal of trouble, but he does have a strong sense for responsibility, which he rarely exhibits, though. Once he accidentally caused Cyborg to download a malevolent computer virus from a bootleg copy of his favorite computer game (Mega Monkeys 4) into the latter's systems, causing him to rampage across the city, consuming everything in sight. Feeling guilty about what he had done, Beast Boy, together with Gizmo, who was press-ganged into assisting (since he and Cyborg share a mutual dislike), entered Cyborg's body in the form of an amoeba and finally managed to defeat the virus on his own.Later on, during his first confrontation with Adonis, Beast Boy and his opponent were doused with experimental chemicals which triggered the emergence of a more feral side and the eventual transformation into a type of super-werewolf. In this form Beast Boy battled Adonis for Raven's life, and managed to defeat him. Afterward, he uses this werewolf form only one more time, when Slade, as a minion in the service of Trigon, attacked Titans Tower with an army of fire demons. He never used it after then, suggesting that even with the strength and abilities it gave him, he considered only using it as a last resort.
Season 5 of Teen Titans focuses on Beast Boy a great deal, as it deals with his history as a member of the animated series' incarnation of the Doom Patrol. In this season, Beast Boy exhibits a surprising amount of inherent leadership skills; he finally convinces Mento to think his way through a tough situation instead of muscling it, and when the Brotherhood of Evil attacks young superheroes all around the world, he leads Herald, Jericho, Pantha, and Más on an assault against the Brotherhood's headquarters. He remains leader even after Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and several other Titans join the fight, only standing down after Robin is thawed.
Beast Boy once fell in love with Terra, who had the ability to control earth and the elements in the earth but suffered from insecurity about her lack of total control over her powers. Terra eventually betrayed the Teen Titans as an ally of Slade. Ultimately, she received redemption in helping the Titans defeat Slade; however, she is turned to stone in the process. Still, Beast Boy retains strong feelings for Terra. In the final episode of the series, Beast Boy encountered a girl looking exactly like Terra, who has no memory of her time with the Titans; whether or not this is really Terra suffering from amnesia remains unexplained. Finally, Beast Boy realized that if she really was Terra, she didn't want to remember her shameful past, and decided to finally let her go.Personality
In the series, Beast Boy (voiced by Greg Cipes) plays the role of the lighthearted jokester of the group, though he is often the butt of many jokes or backfiring pranks himself. When the other Titans are focused on important details he is usually the first to break in with a preposterous suggestion or an unnecessary joke. Due to this, others sometimes view him as immature, thickheaded, and cumbersome. However, he continually proves invaluable with his kindness, quick-thinking, and battle prowess. Although he jokes most of the time, Beast Boy can be serious when he wants to be. The team's interactions with Terra showed some of the most earnest and intense sides of Beast Boy's personality as he became her friend and lost her, but continued to believe in her and help her redeem herself. During Season 5, when the Titans clash with the old enemies of the Doom Patrol, the Brotherhood of Evil, Beast Boy begins to focus a lot more on the mission at hand and displays a new sincere side of himself throughout the season. Some people believe that Beast Boy wears a mask of laughter and happiness to disguise his sadness at what has happened in the past. There are a few instances in the show that he shows his true self. For example, in the episode The Beast Within, he becomes depressed and saddened when he believes that he has hurt Raven and the other Titans.
He wears his old black and purple Doom Patrol uniform, complete with gray gloves and purple sneakers with seemingly Velcro straps. The costume also had a mask, but he discarded it after Cyborg told him it was goofy, and Raven pointed out that the mask would not hide his secret identity anyway as, since his skin is green, he does not really have one. Beast Boy also has pointy ears, which he finds to be an attractive quality of himself. He exhibits very feral habits as well, such as sitting with his feet on his chair and moving his ears up and down. He wears boxers. One pair may be his official fan merchandise pair, it is covered in small pictures of his many green transformations.
Having transformed into most of the meat-producing animals, Beast Boy has lost his taste for meat and is now a vegetarian, which often gets him arguing with the others (especially Cyborg) because he constantly attempts to have the others adopt his culinary taste as well. He is also prone to causing much of the mischief around Titans Tower, such as the time he kept a large mutant moth larva hidden in his bedroom, whom he named Silkie. In "Can I Keep Him?", the larva devours much of the Tower while the team is on a mission fighting Johnny Rancid. While trying to hide him from the others, Beast Boy entrusts Silkie to Starfireto hide, who ends up adopting the creature.
Beast Boy also has an obsession with owning a vehicle of his own, more specifically, a moped. In one episode, he acquires one and affectionately calls it the "B-Ped". Ironically, after using it to save the world from an alien tofu-like species, it falls to pieces.
Beast Boy and Robin have a good friendly relationship, although one that is somewhat difficult due to their differences. Robin is much more serious and intense than Beast Boy, who is playful, energetic, and often immature; this can lead to clashes on missions. Robin in turn can get frustrated with Beast Boy. Despite the incongruity of their personalities, Robin and Beast Boy overall are good friends as they can get along well enough to function as team members. When Terra left Titans Tower without saying goodbye Robin was the one who comforted Beast Boy.Starfire
Starfire gets along well with Beast Boy, mainly because she is the only Titan who laughs at his jokes (usually because she does not understand them). They are both cheerful, fun-loving people, although Starfire is more mature and focused than Beast Boy. Starfire and Beast Boy are family to each other, and seem to have a solid bond of trust between them. He often looks to Starfire for comfort. He seems to trust her the most, as seen in Can I Keep Him? where he told Starfire who destroyed the tower.
Cyborg is not only Beast Boy's best friend, but his surrogate older brother as well. Cyborg is never hesitant to put Beast Boy in his place, especially if he feels that the younger hero is being rude or inconsiderate, however, he is just as often seen at his friend's side causing mischief with him. Cyborg and Beast Boy have a lot in common, including a fondness for breakfast food, playing video games, watching movies, and playing practical jokes on each other. Throughout the series, Cyborg is shown to have a tough love relationship with Beast Boy. The two are close, but Cyborg feels the need to keep Beast Boy in line and maybe instill a little more consideration and maturity in him. This can sometimes frustrate Beast Boy, who wishes Cyborg was a little less authoritarian or uptight at times. They also enjoy playing their favorite game they made up, "Stankball"
- Okay. Fine. You're way creepy. But that doesn't mean you have to stay locked in your room. You think you're alone, Raven, but you're not.
- — Beast Boy trying to cheer up Raven in "Spellbound."
Raven is the Titan who is least similar to Beast Boy. While he is cheerful, energetic, and sometimes childish, Raven is calm, composed, and often spouts dry, deadpan snark. In the beginning, she and Beast Boy have a very rough relationship. Raven's depressed air and "creepiness" annoy Beast Boy, and she is constantly heckled by his bad jokes and immaturity. However, both Cyborg and Beast Boy are transported into Raven's mind via a "magic mirror". Inside Raven's mind, they meet several Ravens, each representing a different side of the real Raven's personality. The happy Raven thinks Beast Boy is funny, while the timid Raven is sorry for being mean to him so much. In the end, the real Raven is surprised when Beast Boy and Cyborg stay to help her fight Trigon and from this point on, she and Beast Boy begin a real friendship. It is also believed that not only did they become friends but they started to develop feelings for each other. When Raven combined with her "other Ravens", it showed a Raven with a purple cloak. That emotion is either affection or love. In other words, Raven might have started feeling emotions for somebody (possibly Beast Boy).[1]
In the course of the series, several episodes focus on Raven and Beast Boy's growing relationship and how they play off each other. Though Raven constantly mocks him and Beast Boy constantly riles her, the two care deeply for each other and lay aside their differences when necessary. Beast Boy always tries to include Raven and do nice things for her, as when he throws her a surprise party.[2] However, even when he bugs her, Raven can be shown to take a lot of comfort from Beast Boy. After Raven's heart was broken by an evil dragon who had pretended to be a wizard, Beast Boy told Raven that although she think's she's alone, she's really not. Raven then hugged Beast Boy.[3] When Raven's life is put in danger by a transformed Adonis, Beast Boy experiences a similar transformation and while it seemed as though he was trying to attack Raven, he was actually saving her. Beast Boy also said that even though he and Raven fight, he could never hurt her. In the end, he is emotionally taxed by this new feral form he has gained but she lifts his spirits by telling him that the form does not make him bad, but a mature and valuable member to the team and to her.[4] The only occasions where Beast Boy has used this form have been when Raven is in mortal danger. This could suggest that threats against Raven's life seem to push Beast Boy to higher levels, signaling his affectionate tie with her.
There has been a suggestion of a romantic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven, much of it based on the theory that "opposites attract." Though the writers of the show initially dismissed such claims, in later seasons they wrote more and more into the Raven/Beast Boy relationship, deepening their connection and enlarging their characters. In the DC Comics books, Raven and Beast Boy did indeed initiate a romantic relationship, though the characters were at a somewhat later point in their lives than they are portrayed in the cartoon.
Beast Boy was smitten with Terra the moment he laid eyes on her.[5] The two met after she successfully killed a mutant scorpion and agreed to crash at the Titan's tower. Beast Boy was the first to suggest having her stay with them for good. During her stay, the two formed a quick friendship, discovering that they had a lot in common. However, this bond was quickly shattered when Terra mistakenly thought that Beast Boy revealed to the Titans that she could not control her powers, when in fact Robin simply figured it out. In her anger, she left the team without saying goodbye. When Terra returned, Beast Boy was elated to see her again and she was equally eager to rekindle their relationship.[6] Beast Boy finally asks Terra on a date, but when he learns about Terra's betrayal of the Titans, his heart is broken. Though Terra apologizes to him for her deception, he turns his back on her, inadvertently driving her further into Slade's arms.[7] His hurt can be seen at the end of the episode when he sits, whimpering, on her bed as a dog, curled up beside the heart-shaped box he had made for her. When she appears again, she has fully accepted Slade as her master and attacks them without hesitation. Even though she has done some terrible things, Beast Boy asks his teammates to give her one more chance but she makes it clear that she wants no part of their team and defeats each of them. Beast Boy is then just as eager as his fellow Titans to bring Terra to justice.[8]
However, in the course of their conflict Beast Boy still maintains a deep affection for Terra and believes that there may yet be a chance for her to reform. In the end, the two do make up before Terra redeems herself by saving everyone, at the price of turning herself into stone. She tearfully admits, while embracing Beast Boy, that he was the best friend she had ever had.[9]
Later on, Beast Boy meets a girl who looks, speaks, and behaves a lot like Terra but claims she isn't her. After some ill-fated attempts to help her recover her memory, Beast Boy realizes that his experiences with Terra must remain in the past and decides to let her live a better life, while he himself embraces his life as a hero.[10]
Powers and Abilities
- Maybe you don't need to keep up. I can turn into the biggest, strongest, fastest animals on Earth. But you know what, dude? Sometimes it's best to be a slow, tiny turtle.
- — Beast Boy[src]
His preferred forms, depending on task and necessity, are:
- Tyrannosaurus Rex: Heavy-duty combat
- Pteranodon: Flying, aerial combat and transporting teammates

- Brown Bear, Gorilla, Orangutan or Sasquatch: More versatile form and strength in hand-to-hand combat
- Whale, Apatosaurus, Ankylosaurus or Stegosaurus: Weighty slam-downs
- Blue Whale: Transporting teammates underwater
- Ram, Musk Ox, Bull, Hippopotamus, Rhinoceros, Elephant, Woolly Mammoth, or Triceratops: Charging through enemies
- Hummingbird: Evasion

- In the episode Titans East part 2, he turned into a skunk to stink out Mas e Menos while they were charging at him.
- Microorganism: Microscopic duty
- On Betrothed he turns into the alien dog and scares the guards
- In the episode Every Dog has his Day he turns into a Giraffe to amuse Soto
In his Werebeast form first obtained in combat with Adonis, Beast Boy possesses greatly enhanced strength, agility and speed, in addition to its heightened senses and exceptional combat reflexes. However, this form is apparently also more feral, and his human consciousness and judgment are partially subdued when in that form; as a result, this shape is rarely used.
He is also able to transform into a gigantic alien dog form. However, he has only used this form once, so the full extent of his extraterrestrial powers is unknown.[12]
Having been accepted as a part of the Doom Patrol early on in his crime-fighting career, Beast Boy is one of the more battle-hardened Titans. Although he seems to prefer taking orders from someone higher up, he has been willing to lead when the position is given to him. Particularly, being one of the few survivors of the Brotherhood of Evil's massive assault on the Titans and their allies, he leads the scattered survivors in a successful infiltration of their headquarters, ultimately leading to their defeat.[13] Another example is when Beast Boy takes a stand against Mento's calloused attitude towards the members of the Doom Patrol and Teen Titans. Beast Boy says he has learned a thing or two from Robin's leadership and proposes a new plan to storm the Brotherhood of Evil's headquarters and stop the quantum generator.[14]
Additionally, Beast Boy is a very quick thinker when he needs to be, swiftly morphing between his animal forms to best adapt to the situation at hand. In his humanoid form, he has displayed heightened senses on more than one occasion, such as hearing enemies waiting in ambush or tracking enemies. He was also able to hold his own in a one on one battle against Slade.
Beast Boy was also trained in martial arts by Robin so he could still defend himself should his powers ever somehow stop working.
In the episode The End - Part 3, one of Beast Boy's animal forms that was never used was the Spinosaurus (his evil clone transformed into that animal). Beast Boy's evil clone had transformed into the animals Beast Boy had turned into (Hawk, Smilodon, Utahraptor, etc.) and Spinosaurus is the only known animal that Beast Boy never used in battle.
- Beast Boy's background in the Doom Patrol is elaborated in Teen Titans Go #45.
- Beast Boy is skilled in origami.[15]
- Beast Boy and Raven were intentionally written by David Slack, the Titans head writer, as a "married couple", hence the relationship was one of deep loyalty and affection, but also laced with conflicting personality clashes. This "tough love" relationship between Beast Boy and Raven is continued in Trouble in Tokyo, also written by Slack.
- Most of the time when Raven is upset about something Beast Boy was the only one who successfuly made her feel better, he was also the first to be hugged by Raven out of comfort.
- Beast Boy was working on a plan to get his revenge on Cyborg because Cyborg pulled a prank on him by putting red dye in his shampoo, thus making Beast Boy's skin color brown for the whole week.[16]
- During the battle of the Teen Titans' evil clones, Beast Boy turned into a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Nega Beast Boy turns into a Spinosaurus and the battle looks similar to Jurassic Park III (Beasty Boy's T-Rex form bites the Clone's Spino form on the neck), but Beast Boy never turned into a Spinosaurus in any episodes.
- Beast Boy's height seems to vary in many episodes (possibly a goof in the show).[17][18] He's slightly shorter than Terra in a few scenes. He is also seen to be up to Raven's nose.[19] However he's taller than Terra in other episodes. He is also only up to Raven's chin[20], but when Raven hugs Beast Boy they are the same height.[21]
- Beast Boy is a self-proclaimed vegetarian, but he shows the characteristics of a vegan, not eating real eggs or drinking real milk. However, he is seen eating ice-cream.[22]
- Beast Boy apparently doesn't wear socks. When Mother Mae-eye puts Beast Boys shoes on for him, he has no socks on.[23]
- His shoes seem to be put on with Velcro, but it is revealed that there are laces under the Velcro.[24]
- He may know some Spanish because in the episode Titans Together when Más was speaking he said "Más slow down I can't listen that fast."
- In The End - Part 1, it is noticeable that Beast Boy transformed into Werebeast (while fighting the fire demons), possibly due to that Raven was the one in danger. Just like in The Beast Within when he saved Raven from Adonis.
- Beast Boy is the only male Titan to have his real first name said during the series.

'a long time' is relative. I've had some really l-o-n-g days!
Just like the mulitple positive poster violations above, most Karla signs are not on appproved locations...but, on frontage space, or on bark covered corner entrances to streets...on the property line of a business or person, but not IN a person's yard....implying, but not really. Along city curbs of shopping center....nobody's endorsement. Most signs NOT in a person's yard..sort of sneeking in. Notice as you drive around. As a newcomer to the community scene, having her people send out mass mailings to their professional email lists, telling them to vote ONLY for her. Tacky, probably unethical to campaign that way in a double election. Personally, I intend to vote for only one, Pentin, the longest community serving candidate in the race. But, it's a desperate sign to actually campaign to the masses that way. It's possible, the very most qualified and most community experienced, president of Rotary, chairman of Planning Commission, decade on Parks & Rec, etc, could get squeezed out with the unions and their pressure.campaign to masses, going to deMarcus. and Karla votes coming from greens, old-time no growthers, and ignorant voters who follow glossy campaign pieces listing a dozen other candidates, from groups they jst blindly follow.
Sierra Club, Matt Sullivan, & Cindy McGovern, are kiss of death for me. I saw all the various no-growth green-type groups pick candidates to run for all council seats in the valley, even having a valley-wide meeting for volunteers.
Every vote should be an educated. When in doubt, don't.

I'm for property rights, ownership, and the rule of law. I'm against Karla Brown.
Posted by Jill, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Oct 3, 2012 at 3:20 pm
I'm for listening to the people and protecting our city so I am voting for Karla Brown.
Once again, "Observer" posts that the public is full of "ignorant voters" if they vote for somebody who wants slow, controlled growth. From the rest of the message it looks like somebody working on Pentin's campaign. Does not make me feel good that his campaign feels that people that are for slow-growth are ignorant. The message Observer posted is all full of incorrect info. Karla is not a newcomer to the scene. She has been involved for a long time, volunteering in the community, working in the community, working on city ordinances to protect the city, representing the city when PG&E tried to put untested high-voltage electrical lines down the middle of neighborhoods, soccer coach, etc. Karla might not have been there waving a sign that says "look at me" but she has been quite active in the community.

Just a quick response to your post. Yes you are very correct that she help fight the PGE lines and had them moved elsewhere. But what you failed to mention is that the wires were moved from her neighborhood to the people living off of Vineyard who were affected with dirt and construction for almost two years at a much higher cost. But I guess she would say that it was the best for all concerned just as long as it was out of her neighborhood.
Posted by Jill, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Oct 3, 2012 at 7:46 pm
It went down the realigned Vineyard Avenue that was not built yet. Most of the dirt and construction was not for the PG&E line but rather the realignment of Vineyard Avenue plus the repaving of Vineyard Avenue near the mayors house for a special asphalt that has less road noise (rubberized asphalt). The PG&E lines stayed on arterial roads instead of going through neighborhood streets.

Thank you Jill for the information. I guess it was all our imagination all the PGE trucks and construction that was happening during that two time span. I am sure the houses that face Vineyard and the Mobile Home parks that were affected had the same mirage. Yes you are right about the repavement but seperate project. Thanks again for clearing this up. Oh by the way can you tell me how much was the added cost to redirect the project from the original neighborhood to mine?
As a seperate issue and this is not a crack at anyone, is there still legal action pending regarding the space above Hearst? The last that I read was the project has been scaled back and some spaces are now obscene in size. What is the cost to the city to fight this? Hopefully someone can give an update without opinion.

So now thousands of individual voters who speak positively about a candidate suddenly become part of a campaign team.?.
That will scare lots of voters away from many candidates.
but I do agree, the visible ones for Karla ARE scary, so she does get labeled accordingly. Just like Erlene gets labeled from her union supporters.
I don't even know Pentin's phone or address. I only know his resume' is long and full of dedication and service, and he'll get my only vote.

I met Karla on the Save Pleasanton Hills project, which as we can all recall was pretty rancorous. Throughout, Karla was polite and professional in discussing the issue with me - a tone that was lacking in remarks from some Council members at that time. Besides having a positive attitude, Karla is smart, well-informed, and committed to doing what is best for the city. I am happy to support her.

What is a "businesswoman"? What real job experience does Karla have under her belt? I am a female working in the business world, but I would never describe myself as a "businesswoman." It's simply too generic. I would use specific terms to describe where my experience lies: corporate/public vs. private, small-mid-large company, role and function.

I think Karla Brown will make an excellent council member.
Posted by Betty, a resident of the Kottinger Ranch neighborhood, on Oct 4, 2012 at 10:58 pm
As a resident of Kottinger Ranch I can attest to the fact that Karla has worked tirelessly over the past several years to protect our 180 homes. As for what she has done for the rest of Pleasanton she'll be the first to tell you, "who cares!". I didn't bother to open the web link to this story as I could not get past, "I have earned many awards and accolades...". I'm voting for Pentin as he actually has been involved in Pleasanton and not exclusively in the area of town where he resides.
Posted by Kelly, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 6, 2012 at 7:38 am
Karla is the only City Council candidate for slow and smart growth for Pleasanton. She has been endorsed and supported by a wide variety of people and newspapers who feel that Karla offers us her experience and dedicated hard work for the benefit of our community. She has worked hard on ridge line protection, (Measure PP), preserving our unique and historic neighborhoods and given hours of her time on various community task forces where she has worked cooperatively with a large group of stakeholders within the City on the Hacienda Task Force to her current position on East Side Pleasanton Task Force. She has the facts to back up her opinions and campaign agendas instead of the often vague campaign statements given by the other candidates. I encourage you to view the various community political forums this campaign season as well as attend these events in person to see for yourself that Karla stands out from the group as a clear leader. It is also equally important to follow the money to see what large developers and other PACs are helping to fund the campaigns of the other candidates. Karla's campaign is funded by individuals who desire what is best for all of Pleasanton and not just what is best for their own pockets and their influence on the decisions that effect our community.

I live in the Vintage Hills area and had no problem at all with the development that Karla opposed. It looked beautiful and would have been wonderful addition to Pleasanton. She led a selfish campaign of lies and distortions against the development. Her NIMBY attitude is the problem, not the solution.
Posted by karla supporter, a resident of the Another Pleasanton neighborhood neighborhood, on Oct 6, 2012 at 10:39 am
Karla is the best candidate for council. She does her homework and studies issues carefully and she isn't afraid to stand up for what she feels is right. Her work on Measure PP is admirable. There were many people in town who supported PP who did not live in the Kottinger hills, so it wasn't just that neighborhood involved. I'm sure as with any candidate, you many not agree with them on everything. But, Karla is smart, knowledgeable, and passionate about doing what is right for the community.
If you watch any of the forums that have been conducted, she, by far, stands out from the rest. She has absolutely done the best and I was thoroughly impressed. She definitely has my vote and for our community's sake, I hope she is elected to one of the spots on the council.

Are there natural spices that taste umami? I don't want to use MSG in my food, but I'd like to add some umami flavour.
As others have said, there are few spices with umami. However, if you're looking for something that you can use in the same way as a spice, then I suggest simply blitzing dried porcini (cep) mushrooms in a blender or grinder into a fine powder and using that. It has a deep umami flavour - try rubbing it on a steak before cooking and you'll be blown away. |
Though not exactly a spice, fish sauce (nam pla in Thai i believe) is a great source of umami. Besides MSG you are not going to find umami-rich spices. Not exactly. There are certain foods are a produced as a concentration (such as fish sauce) to maximize glutamates (that which makes umami, umami) and others that are used as an umami source such as the rind from a block of Parmesan cheese in certain soup stocks. Word of caution about fish sauce: It is very powerful and cannot be used nearly as ubiquitously as MSG. It is very pungent and a drop too many in a bowl of soup will make its presence known, and that is not that you want. With that said, fish sauce is my secret weapon in the kitchen. I use it in any savory dish that lacks depth of flavor (umami.) I've used in classic chilis, all sorts of soups and chowders and of course in Asian-style stir fries. |
Again, not a spice, but similar to ElendilTheTall's suggestion of powdered mushrooms would be to grind up dried kelp. You might be able to find 'dashi kombu' powder in some asian markets, or order it online. (note, there are other 'dashi' powders, and some of them come from fish; you specifically want 'kombu') I've personally never used the stuff, so I don't know how readily it'll absorb into other foods; you might need to experiment with it. |
Turmeric is the superstar spice to add umami - unfortunately, it also adds stain factor. It works best with fatty/ oily dishes. Mace and nutmeg can add umami with meat dishes. |
Pretty much umami tastes of umami, spices taste of whichever spice. It's rather like saying which spices taste salty because I don't want to use salt - only spices with salt are going to taste salty If you don't want to use synthetic MSG you can always use a 'natural' source of it but it's still the same chemical |
The two things that come to mind are Yeast extract (Marmite, Vegemite, Cenovis etc.) and soy sauce. I don't know if you'd classify those as spices, though. |
My secret weapon, before I became the rampant vegetarian I am today, used to be Worcestershire sauce. It is quite high in umami, probably because of the anchovies involved. For that reason, other ideas would be anchovie paste, or any far eastern fish sauce. Aside from that, any reduced mushroom stock would serve you well. I sometimes pour boiling water over dried shiitake mushrooms and let it sit for a while. Then I reduce the liquid and use that as flavouring. I'm still looking for a good vegetable (not animal/bacteria/fungus) source of umami. Let me know if you find one. Sadly, I don't think one exists. |
I found an article that uses umami interchangeably with savory. It touches on the chemical composistion but offers suggestions of lists of spices and flavors that bring that umami/savory flavor out in a dish. Here's the article: http://www.foodprocessing.com/articles/2005/434.html |
One thing I use to minimize salt is Bragg's Liquid Aminos. I'm not one to make a claim about the health benefits, but I can attest to the following from their site: |

This peanut butter cream pie is made extra yummy by using a chocolate cream base and a meringue topping. It's a little bit more work than some of the recipes I've posted but it is well worth it.
