Corey Crawford (23 saves) recorded his 10th career shutout and second of the season to lead the Blackhawks to their fourth victory in their past seven outings (4-2-1).
* With the win, the Blackhawks (40-15-15, 95 points) leapfrogged the Avalanche (44-20-6, 94 points) for second place in the Central Division and moved within six points of the Blues (47-15-7, 101 points) for the top spot in the division/conference.
* Crawford improved to 10-2-3 with a 2.28 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and two shutouts in 15 career appearances versus the Blues, including a 7-0-2 mark at United Center. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, his .767 points percentage is the highest by any active goaltender who has played in at least eight games against the Blues.
* Duncan Keith scored his second game-winning goal of the season, establishing a career high (69 GP). He had four game-winning goals in 607 career contests entering 2013-14.
* Keith leads all defensemen and ranks fourth in the NHL with 50 assists this season. His 55 points also place second among blueliners.
* Patrick Sharp assisted on each of Chicago's first two goals for his 15th multi-point game of the season. He now has 1-9—10 in his past nine outings and is tied for ninth in the NHL with 29-39—68 this season, three points shy of his career high established in 2010-11.
* With the victory, Joel Quenneville became the third coach in NHL history to reach 700 wins. Only Scotty Bowman (1,244) and Al Arbour (782) have more head-coaching victories.
* Prior to the contest, the Blackhawks honored Michal Handzus for playing in his 1,000th NHL game. The 37-year-old native of Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, who was originally selected by the Blues in the fourth round (101st overall) of the 1995 NHL Draft, has 185-295—480 during his 15-season career.
Trailing 2-1 late in the first period, Steven Stamkos scored three consecutive goals for his seventh career hat trick and second of the season to power the Lightning to their fourth straight victory.
* With the win, the Lightning (38-24-7, 83 points) leapfrogged the idle Canadiens (38-25-7, 83 points) for second place in the Atlantic Division. The Lightning have one game in hand, but the Canadiens lead in ROW (MTL: 33, TB: 32).
* Stamkos' three goals came in a 12:33 span over the first and second periods. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, those were the fastest three goals of Stamkos' career, besting his previous mark of 18:40 established Feb. 17, 2009 (his only other natural hat trick).
* Stamkos now has 5-2—7, including two game-winning goals, in has past four outings and 13-12—25 in 20 career games against the Maple Leafs.
* Valtteri Filppula collected two assists to extend his point streak to six games (2-8—10). He leads the Lightning with 22-29—51 in 64 games this season.
* Tyler Johnson scored his 22nd goal of the season to move within one of the franchise record for goals by a rookie (Stamkos: 23 in 2008-09).
* Ben Bishop made 36 saves, including 21 in the third period, to improve to 33-11-6 with a 2.13 goals-against average, .928 save percentage and five shutouts in 54 appearances this season.
The Avalanche fought back from three one-goal deficits, but Blake Wheeler scored at 1:42 of overtime to lift the Jets to their second victory in their last three games.
* With the win, the Jets (32-30-9, 73 points) moved within four points of the idle Coyotes (33-25-11, 77 points) for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
* Wheeler now has 1-7—8 in his past four games. He leads the Jets with 24 goals and 59 points this season, five shy of his career high established in 2011-12.
* Andrew Ladd scored twice to eclipse the 20-goal mark for the third time in the past four seasons. He also reached the 50-point milestone for the third time in his NHL career.
Eddie Lack made 30 saves for his fourth career shutout and Nicklas Jensen scored his first career game-winning goal to lead the Canucks to their fourth victory in their past seven games.
* With the win, the Canucks (32-30-10, 74 points) moved within three points of the idle Coyotes (33-25-11, 77 points) for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
* Lack improved to 13-14-4 with a 2.34 goals-against average, .915 save percentage and four shutouts in 34 appearances this season. His four shutouts are a franchise record for a rookie and lead all first-year goaltenders in 2013-14.

Having trouble with unset impression material? Vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) or addition reaction silicone impression materials are very popular because of their accuracy and stability. Incomplete polymerization is a problem. Sulfur containing zinc diethyl dithiocarbamate is used during latex glove fabrication as a preservative and vulcanizing accelerator.

By Jeff Garcia, Project Spurs
San Antonio Spurs fans really love to hate ESPN's Stephen A. Smith. Whether it be his "hate" for the Spurs, his screaming ways to get his point across, or his disdain for Tiago Splitter.
But after the Spurs who not only swept the Utah Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers in the playoffs, and had a tremendous comeback from 24-points in Game 3 versus the Clippers, Smith finally came around and has to admit this team is close to unbeatable.
Check out what Smith, and Skip Bayless (who is a huge Spurs fan) had to say about San Antonio and for a rare moment, Smith actually sees what all Spurs fans and others see about this team – they are close to invincible.

A Complete Range of Chi Exercise Machines to Suit All Needs
We supply quality products throughout North America, Europe and internationally...
Chi Exercise Machines originate from a type of passive exerciser that was invented in Japan. They are based on a principle that is utilized in several Japanese self-help health modalities, martial arts, and therapies. The principle is based on swinging the feet while a person is lying down. It may have been known in traditional Japanese health care systems for many centuries. We know for sure that it was adopted in the 1920's as part of a self-help system of healthcare - long before the idea of using a machine was thought of.
Why is swinging the feet beneficial? If you swing their feet while a person is lying down, a stimulating pulsing motion in the area just above the hips is created. If the swinging is continuous, the oscillating motion of the hips in turn causes a harmonic response of sideways motion right up through the body, all the way to the neck. This oscillation of the hips generates a gentle but dynamic wave that travels up through the spine, stimulating the nervous system, balancing energy levels and releasing tension in the back, neck and shoulders.
The idea of using a machine to generate the sideways oscillation was conceived in Japan the late 1980's. The original machine was recognised as a remedial medical device by the Japanese government. It was first marketed in America as the Sun Ancon Chi Machine. This gave rise to the generic term "chi machine", which has become the common way of referring to all products of this type in the West. Later the Sun Ancon's owners registered a US trade mark - The Chi Machine® (see below*). You can read more about the history and healthcare benefits of chi exercise machines generally at this very informative and independent website published by Beyond Stress Foundation at chimachinestory.org
* The Chi Machine® is the registered Trade Mark of Chan-Hsiung Pan and others
Wide Range of Models available - to meet all budgets
We stock a range of chi machine models so that everyone can choose a product that suits their needs and their budget. Our recommended models - the Surge of Chi Exerciser and its cousin, the FlexxiCore - feature more advanced specifications that offer an ultra-smooth ride, great performance and versatility for all age groups and fitness levels. For those looking for a more affordable product, we also stock a range of reliable lower-cost chi machines to fit everyone's budget.
Article on Chi Exercise Machines by a best-selling Healthcare Author
by Maggie Tisserand (more info below**)
Originally published in Positive Health magazine: Issue 177 - December 2010
Chi exercise machines provide a form of passive exercise that stimulates the nervous system, mobilises the back and releases tension. Invented in Japan about 20 years ago, the initial design was intended to accommodate use in the home. I came across this original machine - the Sun Ancon® Chi Machine® - about 8 years ago, and was fascinated by the dynamic effect of the simple sideways movement. I purchased a Sun Ancon for personal use, and have used it regularly over the years, partly as a very pleasant antidote to the many hours I spend as a writer in front of a computer screen.
More recently I was introduced to the Surge of Chi® Exerciser; an advanced product with variable speed controls and other programming. The additional functionality of the Surge of Chi - especially the option of using a gentle starting speed - is of particular benefit to people with sensitivity of some sort or deep-seated health issues. This has allowed healthcare practitioners to use them as an adjunct to treatments in clinic, especially for clients with conditions that they feel may respond well to the gentle action of the Surge of Chi.
A member of my family, who is registered as 'legally blind' and therefore restricted in her exercise and fitness options, has a history of being overweight and lethargic; I decided to purchase a Surge of Chi for her. The results were so immediate (increased energy levels, followed by a gradual loss of body fat leading to a better body shape, and a general 'feeling of calmness') that I became even more intrigued by what happens within the body when the feet are swung in this simple way. I have a long-standing working relationship with Japan and was inspired to investigate the source of wisdom that gave rise to the invention of chi exercise machines. Read More

Practitioner trials*** of the Surge of Chi Exerciser in 2005 - 2009
Health professionals and yoga teachers confirmed many benefits including release of tension and the effects of stress, improved mobility, and increased energy levels. The feedback given by participants in the Practitioner Trial showed clearly that the Surge of Chi Exerciser benefited participants on the mental and emotional levels as well as the physical effects reported.
*** From 2005 to 2009 a series of trials on the Surge of Chi Exerciser were held with over 200 Health Professionals and Yoga Teachers.
In the 1st Phase each practitioner used the Surge of Chi Exerciser personally on a daily basis and completed a 30-day trial log as well as specific feedback on experience, perceived benefits, and the speed settings and auto programmes of the Surge of Chi Exerciser. In the 2nd Phase practitioners selected clients with specific health conditions that they hoped would respond well to regular sessions with the Surge of Chi. They then kept a log of the results which you can read about using the links below.
For a Summary of these Practitioner Trial Results, click here. A full report of the Phase 1 Trials was published in Positive Health magazine in July 2006 and another article reporting on the results of the Phase 2 Trials in November 2007.
More recently an article by Healthcare Author Maggie Tisserand was published in Positive Health November 2011 and can be read here
For more details of the Surge of Chi Exerciser with ordering information, please click here.
We also stock the FlexxiCore, which is a recent upgrade of the Surge of Chi Mark 2, the newly launched Surge of Chi Exerciser Mark 4, the Vitality Swing (previously known as the Chi Vitalizer), the Swing Master and the Chi Swing - a range of chi machine products with prices to match everyone's budget. Until recently we also supplied the Evergain 308DL chi machine, but it has been discontinued. y All of these great chi machines are currently on sale with big discounts.

Twangin' is bangin' and Misisipi Mike & the Midnight Gamblers perform part of a showcase called Twang To The Rescue.
It's a benefit for the 434-436 Waller Fire Relief Committee who are helping local musicians who lost their homes, instruments and more in a fire.
Misisipi Mike shines when he's stripped down or when performing with his full band. He's an amazing musician and songwriter and his show at Great American Music Hall recently sold out. Definitely check him out in the intimacy of Cafe du Nord.
Also performing are Windy Hill Bluegrass Band, Plains High Drifters and more.
Misisipi Mike & the Midnight Gamblers, Tuesday at Cafe du Nord. 7:30 p.m. $20. Good cause.

The artwork hanging in the historic Strand Theatre provides a window to the soul of Marietta- the history, the artists, the Square. Many of the works featured on the walls are of the beloved historic Marietta Square. The below oil paintings by local artist McKenzie Snow decorate the walls of the Senator Doug & Della Stoner Art Gallery on the second floor.
Click to view full size renderings
Much like the last painting's background, several pieces on the Strand Theatre's walls are renderings of the theatre itself, showing various artists' perspective of the Marietta Square's historic landmark.
As an homage to The Strand's past as the Marietta Square's beloved movie theatre, prints from iconic classic films- generously donated by Turner Classic Movies- overlook the lobby.
The second floor Lumiére Lounge is a silent-film inspired cocktail lounge with live piano music and specialty drinks sponsored by Hometown Honey. The artwork of local artists Jacob Gurganus and Philip Myrick hangs on the lounge's walls, envisioning early film icons with a contemporary mixed media twist.
One purpose of the Strand Theatre's art collection is to promote Marietta's local artists. These juxtaposed pieces of art- portraits and landscapes, in bold and muted colors- are connected through our historic town and their creators that call it "home".
What's in a name? The Earl Smith Strand Theatre owes a debt of gratitude to the man who supported renovation and reopening over a decade ago. A large portrait hangs in the second floor mezzanine to remind us how far the theatre has advanced our mission of providing cultural entertainment accessible to the community under Earl Smith's watchful eye.
Bonus: As you climb the steps to the Lumiére Lounge or Brew with a View, glance up at the large posters of past Strand events that line the walls and reminisce about the music, movies, and fun.

"The team has so many contacts with foreign insurers and so many people with foreign languages that it is miles ahead of others."
Chambers and Partners (2014)
Irwin Mitchell is concerned to learn of holidaymakers falling ill at the H Top Gran Casino Royal, Costa Brava in Spain during holidays taken in October 2011. Recent reports have suggested that the hotel needs to be "pulled down to the ground a.s.a.p before someone is seriously injured." Holidaymakers have reported that the hotel was filthy and that floor tiles were cracked and loose, the bathroom was mouldy and damp, there were hairs on and around the bathroom suite, urine seeped out through the overflow, the balcony was covered in bird droppings along with tomato sauce and bits of food. It has also been suggested that the food served at the resort was also of a low standard and which was very repetitive. The breakfast cereal was compared to cardboard and other food served by the hotel was suggested to be stale. It is therefore possible that the illness amongst holidaymakers may be due to a lack of food hygiene and a general lack in cleanliness and maintenance at the hotel.
If you also travelled to this hotel and suffered from gastric illness, Irwin Mitchell would like to hear from you as you may be able to claim for your ruined holiday, and also, the pain and suffering caused by the illness that you sustained. For more advice on making a holiday illness claim, contact Irwin Mitchell on 0800 056 0066 or complete our enquiry form and we will call you back.

(MyFoxBoston.com) – A babysitter and her boyfriend charged with reckless child endangerment are due in court Monday.
On Friday, police were called to a Cohasset parking lot on King Street. A concerned citizen said a man was drunk and was letting a toddler run in traffic. When the woman asked him about the child, he allegedly told her he didn't know the little boy and asked her if she wanted him.
She called police and 33-year-old Rohn Hess was arrested. A half hour later, his girlfriend, Jennifer Fiori, showed up and told police she was hired by a Dorchester family to watch the toddler.
Authorities said Hess and Fiori appeared to be under the influence of drugs. When they searched the babysitter's car, police said they found hypodermic needles, other drugs, and high capacity magazines.
The child was not hurt and was returned to his father.

If by any chance you come to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, do visit the Hancock Shaker Village, which has been a living history museum for the past fifty years. For a long span of almost 170 years (1790 to 1960), the spot served as a Shaker community. It was then transformed into a National Historic Landmark nestled between acres and acres of farms and woods.
It also houses a vast collection of many of the original Shaker art, furniture, textiles, tools, and other objects. This Village consists of 18 important buildings, which include the Round Stone Barn and a modern Visit Centre. All through the Village one can see Shaker designs that represent the Shaker craft and the Shaker way of life. As part of the museum's golden jubilee celebrations, some celebrities were requested to serve as guest curators.
So now guest curators such as designer Michael Graves, television show host Al Roker, furniture maker Thomas Moser, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and film director Ken Burns will be answering questions like: "If you could pick any Shaker creation that for you, best illustrates the Shakers' enduring influence, what would it be and why?" By paying $17 per adult, one will be able to visit the site till October31st.

{published 2013, by Tara Books}
Get ready. You may never have seen anything like this before. Have you ever read something that you feel like should be in a museum and not in your hands? And then you realize that's the whole point of the perfection and portability of picture books, but still your mouth hangs open in awe?
This is one of those books.
The Enduring Ark is a retelling of the flood story from Genesis, and this line from the first page enveloped me in its storytelling.
You may have heard this story before, but great tales deserve to be repeated – and so let me tell it here again, in my way.
And so it goes, this age old story with a breath of new words. Spare text, stunning imagery. The strong lines hold bold saturated color. And I'm dearly smitten with the two crabs!
They found all forms of creatures: large and small, fierce and tame, with feet, and fins, wearing fur, scales and feathers.
The book itself can be read page by page, left to right, as you are quite familiar with. But it also extends out like an accordion, the story literally unfolding before you.
Tara Books, of Chennai, South India, calls themselves a 'collective of dedicated writers, designers and artists who strive for a union of fine form with rich content.' This accordion-style scroll painting is the Bengali Patua style, which historically has been used to visualize mythological stories and aid the narration of a storyteller. What a sublime medium for their mission to unite fine form with rich content, right?
Also interesting? On the cover, the artist is named before the writer. Perhaps it's because the words are a retelling? Or because the design of the book is what makes it extra special? I'm not sure, but I found that really lovely.
The Enduring Ark releases on May 14, 2013. If you are a fan of book design, fantastic story, and clever engineering, don't miss this innovative book!
Big thank to the publisher, Tara Books, for providing a copy of this book for review. Why not connect with them on Twitter or Facebook if you think their work is magical, too?!

God Bless Steve King! He is great on illegal immigration too!!
I sure hope it works. Problem is the dims will change the rules to suit them if they're in trouble. They have a history of doing this.
Keep up the momentum. Emails, letters, phone calls....stop the horror story!!!
Thanks for posting this. It gives me encouragement. I have been very concerned that Obamacare and talk of its repeal is not being discussed by many republican and conservative candidates. Every one of them should be targeting their opponents and asking them 'Do you support Obamacare?'
Pat Caddell was on Hannity's radio show this afternoon. He said that the Republican leadership is the dumbest he has ever seen, as they have been handed a golden issue (the majority favors repeal of Obamacare) and they are not using it. He also said that opposition to Obamacare in polling is slowly beginning to slide, probably as a result of its not being discussed...this had better change come fall. The voters need to be reminded of the legislative castor oil that was forced down their throats!
Eric Cantor and John Boehner Dont Really Want to Repeal Obamacare
If it gets close, it will spur a discussion on how much it would SAVE if we repealed it.

You can use SimpleModelNavigation to address your need. In a
PropertiesEditionElement you can create an SimpleModelNavigation that
let you define a reference to navigate before defining the
StructuralFeature in your EditionElement. For instance, if you have a
metamodel with an EClass "Person" having a containing feature typed
"Address" and an Address having an EAttribute "street", you can display
the street of a person in the EEF properties view.
To do that, create an PropertiesEditionElement "street" in the
PropertiesEditionComponent "Person". Create a SimpleModelNavigation in
this PropertiesEditionElement and set the "address" reference to its
"feature" refrence. Back to your street EditionElement, you can choose
the "street" attribute for your model reference. And the generation
takes care of this!
For the moment, the limitation of this system is the need to have the
"Address" in the Person. If there is no address, EEF will throw an
Exception. I'm currently working on a "Smartest" ModelNavigation able to
create element.

Bandera High School Graduation Photos 2011 – Q&A
Good morning, mates!
Bandera High School graduation 2011 is only a few weeks away, so here's some updated info regarding the photos Outlaw will be doing at the ceremony:
Q: What photos will I get with my order?
A: On your order form, photos listed as "Individual" are images of the graduate receiving their diploma as they cross the stage. The standard group photo in the package is the full class photo, but in the a la carte area, you can also purchase K-12 and Honor Grads group photos.
Q: Do I have to buy a package to buy a la carte images?
A: Yes – your shipping fee is wrapped into the package price and to keep the price on a la carte images down, there is no shipping fee built into their cost.
Q: Can I bring you my order instead of mailing it?
A: Not this year – because of school rules, I'm unable to accept orders at UTSA or via the Bandera ISD senior class sponsor. To place your order, simply mail it in via the address on the form.
Q: Can I mail in my order after graduation?
A: Yes, we accept graduation order forms for at least a month after graduation. The only way you pay more is if you wait and buy your images from the Bandera.net galleries individually.
Q: What if I've lost my order form?
A: Got'cha covered – just right-click here and 'Save As…' to download the Microsoft Word document. Print, fill out, mail in, and we'll set you up!
Q: Do you photograph every graduate, regardless of whether or not they have submitted an order?
A: Yes, we photograph everyone. You can view photos from the ceremony online at Bandera.net afterward.
Q: What do I do if I have multiple graduates?
A: You can use a single form and just make additional notes as necessary, or make a copy of your form and submit two orders – the prices are all the same.
Q: Do you do senior photo shoots?
A: Indeed I do! It's never too late to set up your senior's photo shoot before they disappear off to college. Contact me via the methods below and we'll get you on the books!
Q: Do you handle the advertising for the graduation special section for the Bulletin?
A: I do not – you can e-mail JT at email@example.com or call him at 830-796-3718 for information.
Q: What if I have more questions?
A: You can comment on this blog post, Facebook me, e-mail me at email@example.com, or call/text me at 830-688-1564. Thank you so much for supporting The Outlaw!

Exercising her health options
By TERRY JONES
Eleanor Tucker of Redington Shores knows a thing or two about resilience. Even though she uses a wheelchair, a walker and a portable oxygen tank (24 hours a day), she also has a need to exercise.
At 69, Tucker refuses to let health problems force her to become bedridden; therefore, she maintains a rigid workout program five days a week.
As a child growing up in Cincinnati, Tucker enjoyed the usual childhood activities, but swimming was one of her favorite sports. She would later learn just how important swimming would be in her life.
When she was 15, she contracted polio. She spent three months in the hospital and, while her recovery seemed to be rapid, she had to use crutches until she was almost 17.
Swimming became more than a pastime for her at that point. It became part of her exercise and recovery program.
"The polio left me with weak abdominal and leg muscles, but I led a fairly normal life from there," Tucker said. "I met Carlos, fell in love, and we were married when I was 23. My daughter Linda was born when I was 24, and Susan followed two years later. I now have two grandchildren also."
Although Tucker had a health reprieve long enough to become a mother, she later faced a number of health problems. Some were life-threatening, some just painfully inconvenient.
Some of the problems have included diabetes, hip and knee replacement, sarcoidosis and scleroderma.
"The sarcoidosis causes my lungs to lose their ability to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen, so I have to carry portable oxygen with me at all times," she said. "The scleroderma is basically a hardening of cell tissues. However, I haven't lost any cells in the past two years."
Tucker and her husband moved to Pinellas County 15 years ago, and nine years ago she was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome.
Primarily because of the post-polio syndrome, she needs either a wheelchair or a walker to get around. Because of the lung disease, she has to have oxygen 24 hours daily.
But nothing keeps her from exercising.
Tucker exercises in a pool for 30 minutes three days a week and on weight-resistant machines for 45 minutes two days a week.
"I am able to exercise, when others can't," she said. "It's hard work, but it is positive activity and I am grateful for that. Everything is to gain strength in my arms, legs and abdomen. My oxygen tank has a 20-foot tube, so I can bob around in the water and still have it with me the whole time. I probably look funny, but I still plan to exercise."
In the pool, she moves back and forth, near the edge, exercising her arms and legs with the resistance and support of the water.
On the exercise floor, she uses several machines, all within a few feet of each other in a circle. Included are a cycling machine to help her legs and others to provide weight-lifting resistence to strengthen her arms and abdomen.
Tucker has another reason for working out so zealously.
"The last time I was in the hospital, I almost died," she said. "I could hardly swallow and I needed a machine to help me breathe. I don't want to allow my body to ever get that weak again. Maybe I can also inspire some people who have given up hope. Believe me, you feel better just knowing you are fighting back."

CME Group's earnings for the first quarter of 2012 were disappointing, reflecting a fall in global trading volumes, primarily attributable to the uncertainty prevalent in the markets. The company saw revenue of $775 million compared to the record figure of $832 million for the same period last year. Net income and diluted earnings per share were $267 million and $4.02, respectively. [1] CME Group is a Chicago-based publicly traded exchange and competes with NYSE Euronext and Nasdaq OMX.
See Full Analysis for CME Group Here
Positive signs for the future
The company remains optimistic about the trading community as it reported all-time high revenues for CME ClearPort, the clearing platform which provides the front-end system for clearing energy and metal contracts for the company. Energy contracts account for 21% of our price estimate for CME Group. The company increased investment in the Dubai Mercantile Exchange, from 28% to 50%, to encourage trade of Middle Eastern oil contracts. It also launched co-location services in late January and expects increased revenue opportunities from this technological innovation, with positive response observed during the initial phase.
International expansion
Trade volumes from Asia and Europe saw a jump of 10% for the first quarter as the company continues to expand in Asia with on-going educational efforts and collaboration with the Bank of China. The company is also interested in buying a stake in the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (see CME Group in Talks to Acquire a Stake in Tokyo Commodity Exchange), while it has submitted an initial bid for the London Metal Exchange.
Metals trading volumes showed continued positive growth, particularly for gold, which saw a 10% increase over the quarter, and for copper, the average daily volumes grew by more than 40% compared to the first quarter of last year. Commodity and Metal Contracts account for 19% of the Trefis price estimate for CME Group.
Change in Leadership
CME Group president Phupinder Gill is set to take over the role of CEO from Craig Donohue, who earlier announced his intention to retire at the end of the year. Strong leadership will be key to the exchange's performance going forward, particularly given the uncertainty prevalent across the global markets.
We have a price estimate of $285 on CME Group's stock, about in line with the current market price.

Security Analysis: Symantec ISTR XI (Malicious Code Trends Highlights, Part 1)
In my immediately previous analysis I presented some coverage of the "Vulnerability Trends Highlights" of Symantec's Internet Security Threat Report, volume XI. Today, I'll present an analysis of conditions surrounding one statistic from the Malicious Code Trends Highlights from the Executive Summary Highlights section of Symantec's report. I will be providing analysis of further content of the ISTR XI on a (hopefully) daily basis, until I decide I'm finished.
Symantec's Vulnerability Documentation Conflict of Interest:
Today, I will be dealing with exactly one statistic cited in the Malicious Code Trends Highlights, and no more. The reason for this is simple: explanation of the underlying circumstances of this statistic's reporting by Symantec require a somewhat lengthy discussion of the nature of security vulnerabilities and Symantec's relationship with them.
Symantec documented 1,318 malicious code instances in the second half of 2006. The company reports that 23% of them exploited vulnerabilities. This, of course, is a ridiculous statement: 100% of malicious code instances exploited vulnerabilities.
Symantec can be excused for failing to classify some of these malicious code instances as exploiting vulnerabilities. The types of vulnerabilities exploited fall roughly into three main categories:
- configuration vulnerabilities
- procedural vulnerabilities
- software vulnerabilities
It is excusable to exclude procedural vulnerabilities. These are vulnerabilities that arise as a result of poor adherence to security procedures, or security procedures that are incomplete or otherwise substandard, by those who maintain real-world deployments of software. As such, one might consider these to be a result of something other than a "vulnerability", if one does not consider a social engineering opportunity or other human security failure to be a vulnerability — even though, by definition, that is exactly what it is.
It is not exactly excusable, but at least an understandable and probably honest mistake, to exclude configuration vulnerabilities from a measure of vulnerabilities. These are vulnerabilities that arise as a result of either unsecured configurations implemented in real-world deployments or a failure to account for and fix unsecured default configurations in for software as it ships.
Certainly, both of these types of vulnerabilities may be inappropriate to the purpose of this reported statistic, but choosing the terminology used so poorly — referring merely to "vulnerabilities", rather than specifically to "software vulnerabilities" — is misleading and prone to produce errors in the way consumers of the Internet Security Threat Report think about system security. It is critically important that security professionals seeking to educate the members of the computer using public on the threats to their systems' security educate them using correct, precise terminology and clearly presented concepts and principles. Otherwise, that "education" is at best deeply flawed, and at worst actually counterproductive, serving to confuse rather than clarify issues of security.
Software Vulnerabilities:
The third category of vulnerability — software vulnerabilities — can be further broken down into two subcategories:
- software vulnerabilities that Symantec records as vulnerabilities, for which all major operating system distributors generally issue patches
- software vulnerabilities that Symantec does not record as vulnerabilities, and for which only certain operating system distributors generally issue patches
The latter subcategory represent's the one class of vulnerabilities for which Symantec cannot, if it is to be held to honest and competent standards of security professionalism, be excused. These are vulnerabilities that primarily form the basis for the antivirus scanning software industry — Symantec's main niche of market penetration. All open source operating systems, to my knowledge at this time, actively patch all vulnerabilities related to malicious mobile code such as viruses and worms, as do at least many of the commercial Unix-based operating systems on the market. Microsoft Windows does not receive patches for these vulnerabilities at all — instead, Microsoft chooses to submit to a scan-and-block security model, which has materially contributed to the ever expanding threat represented by virus and worm propagation and proliferation on the Internet.
Virus scanners such as those licensed to organizations and individuals for a profit use databases of virus and worm definitions. The scanner uses these definitions to recognize malicious code when it is encountered, and removes or blocks the code (as appropriate). As new viruses and worms are discovered in the wild, scanner databases of definitions are updated with new definitions. This is a reactive approach that not only does not provide true preventative security in the aggregate, but also fails to effectively address the problems represented by the vulnerabilities these viruses and worms exploit.
A single virus definition essentially protects against a single virus — and nothing more. Similar, but sufficiently different to fool antivirus scanners, viruses are created to circumvent the dubious protection provided by extant definitions in scanner databases. These new variants usually exploit exactly the same vulnerabilities, but in a different manner, because the vulnerability still exists. The situation is analogous to a medieval castle whose drawbridge cannot be raised in the event of attack. Instead, descriptions of enemy uniforms are passed around to guards, and the guards are instructed to kill intruders who match these descriptions. Anyone who does not match such a uniform's description is allowed through. Nobody patches the vulnerability — in this case, fixes the broken chains that, repaired, would allow the drawbridge to be raised — but every time someone notices that a pack of enemy soldiers in unrecognized uniforms has infiltrated the castle and started killing people, descriptions matching these new uniforms are circulated to the guards. The folly of this approach should be obvious, as should the simple fact that this results in an ever increasing catalog of discoverable but unpatched vulnerabilities that continue to be exploited by viruses — or "enemy soldiers".
Symantec is, in this analogy, a large mercenary company that hires out guards to many castles, and distributes enemy uniform descriptions to these guards any time the owners of a Symantec-guarded castle requests it. It is lucrative for Symantec to operate under such conditions where virus and worm enabling vulnerabilities are never fixed, as this would largely obviate the need for its services by users of operating systems that thus suffer unpatched in the face of wave after wave of new viruses and worms exploiting old vulnerabilities.
This has been the fourth installment in my security analysis of the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, volume XI. This is a series of (mostly) daily posts collected under the SOB category Security. You may follow this series (and further security-specific posts) via RSS using the Security Category RSS Feed.
Next, I will continue my overview of Symantec's "Executive Summary Highlights", with continuing specific attention on the "Malicious Code Trends Highlights", in brief.


text: This classic has its share of Nightmare Fuel. Interestingly enough, at the time it was first released, [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids it was aimed at kids]]. Nowadays, people would say that this work is meant for an older audience. ----* The nuclear war, as shown in the original movie. It's on par with ''Manga/BarefootGen'', with showing people being graphically vaporized by the nuclear bombs, loads of EyeScream, and people so burned that they resemble shambling zombies before they finally fall over and die.* The fighting style of ''Hokuto Shinken'' (can be translated as "North Star God Fist" or "Big Dipper Divine Fist") is this. It consists of the practitioner hitting the pressure points of a person. It can be used for healing, which both Kenshiro and Toki demonstrate during the series, but when it is used to kill, it often results in various horrifying effects such as [[{{Fingore}} hands blowing up]], [[YourHeadASplode heads exploding]], [[StuffBlowingUp the whole]] [[LudicrousGibs body exploding]], causing someone to uncontrollably walk backwards off a skyscraper, separating a person's skeleton from his skin, causing a person's body to feel like it's covered with bare nerves, and the list goes on. Oh, and the person on the receiving end will often be in agonizing pain as he dies from one of these effects. The story itself acknowledges that this is a terrible fighting style that must ''never'' be misused on people, or else it would destroy the world. As events in the story show, it wasn't kidding.** The fighting style of ''Nanto Seiken'' (can be translated as "South Star Holy Fist" or "South Dipper Holy Fist") is this for a different reason. ''Hokuto Shinken'' destroys enemies by hitting pressure (in other words, from the inside out), while ''Nanto Seiken'' simply destroys enemies from the outside in. A practitioner of this style will have [[RazorSharpHand fingers as sharp as swords]], and can either stab you, as Shin graphically demonstrated on Kenshiro, or slash you to ribbons with air pressure, as Rei does to his enemies. Oh, and one of them adds ''setting them on fire''...** And the worst part? They're ''assassination techniques''. Meaning the practitioners are also incredibly skilled at sneaking up on people and do their job (as shown multiple times by Kenshiro and Rei casually walking up into enemy camps ''in broad daylight'' without being noticed until they decide to speak). Imagine, you're a {{Mook}} doing nothing but your job and talking with your fellow Mook about whatever you've been doing, and suddenly your companion explodes, falls into pieces, or has a hand sticking out of the chest...** Shin, despite being defeated soundly by Kenshiro in their second battle, manages to adminster a particularly painful attack where he stabs straight through Kenshiro's hand. Kenshiro then punches straight through one of Shin's own hands.** The one technique that takes the grand prize out of Hokuto Shinken (And really, a lot of techniques we witness)? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ1BZ0w3_-o Hokuto Ujou Hagan Ken]], which is translated roughly to "North Star Humanist Face Breaking Fist." There's Toki, who's sitting there calmly while 2 of the prison guards were about to kill him, and then all of a sudden Toki raises his arms and a beam of energy is shot from each one of them towards the guards on both sides. At first, the guards are confused as to what just happened and on cue their bodies start to twist. Then Kenshiro explains that those who are on the receiving end of the technique will experience sheer heaven before they die. And lo, the guards' bodies start to twist and turn on every limb in a nightmarish way, but the worst part? ''The guards' faces are not contorted in pain, but rather in sheer pleasure and ecstasy while their bodies twist and turn further until their bodies are'' '''completely disintegrated'''. It's so ironic that the most illuminated, wise and gentle character in the series has mastered such a horrifying technique, which fans jokingly called it [[FanNickname "the Jesus Rainbow Beam"]].* The fighting style of ''Taizan Tenrouken'' (can be translated as "Mount Tai Sirius Fist") is a terrible fighting style. Ryuga is the only practitioner of this style, and that's a good thing. With this style, he scoops the chunks of his victims' flesh while leaving them with a feeling of bitter coldness. They feel cold, not necessarily because he's freezing them, but because he scooped out their nerve endings. Kenshiro himself said that this is a terrible style. When the guy who can make your head explode just by touching a pressure point actually says this, that really tells you something.** Taizanji Kempo (Mount Tai Temple Martial Arts) in general: it's a collection of strange yet powerful martial arts with nightmarish effects, with the first technique ever seen in the original two-shot pilot having the extremely descriptive name of ''Bear Claw Bisection Fist''. Worse still, most known practitioners are crazy and/or evil, and have no qualms using their strength to commit atrocities for kicks. One gets the impression [[WellIntentionedExtremist Raoh]] collected so many of them in his army specifically to make sure they would be kept in check until it was time to kill most of them (of the ones in his army, only Ryuga and Uighur weren't crazy and evil).*** In the pilot they were even worse: due a combination of assassination and blackmail, ''they effectively control Japan''. And they're just as evil and crazy as in the series (or worse, as Uighur from the series is the first one not ''completely'' evil, and he's the HopeCrusher).* The fighting style ''Hokuto Ryuuken'' (can be translated as "Big Dipper Shining Stone Fist") may sound like a cool style...until you see it in action. One teacher of the style, Jukei, used it...and paid a terrible price. Apparently, it put him in a state similar to being on drugs. While under the influence, he became demonic-looking, with bulging veins all over his body, his eyes being covered with veins, and emitting purple smoke breath. He also killed a lot of people and caused a lot of destruction while under the influence, and Ryuken had to hit him with pressure points on the neck to snap him out of it. Oh, and Jukei hadn't even surrendered himself completely to it by that point! Oh, and here's the kicker...Jukei didn't even remember what he did while he was on a rampage, and Ryuken had to tell him that during his rampage, he killed his own wife and child. This is the reason the plotline focused on killing off everyone who learned that style.* [[AxCrazy Jagi]], the first major villain in the series to use ''Hokuto Shinken'', who showcases just how horrible the style can be when used for evil, even though he is not a true master of the style like Kenshiro and is the biggest coward of the series. Then he takes off his mask [[NightmareFace and]]... [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100917092255/hokuto/images/a/a8/Jagi_%28Jagi_Gaiden%29.jpg SWEET MERCY]]!* A large majority of the villains embody this trope. They look as ugly as sin, and have the personality to match. Some of them seem to be as large as a house or 10-storey-building, and that's bigger than Kenshiro, who is six feet tall. They go around robbing, raping and murdering people. They don't care if women and children are among the men they target. They will also not listen to reason at all. Indeed, one must wonder if they were good people before the nuclear war, or if they were always like this. In fact, with a lot of them being so big and ugly, one must wonder how they got into bomb shelters to survive...and if anyone else in the bomb shelters survived with them. On the other hand, since they're so evil, heartless, and monstrous, you will be fine with Kenshiro using his scary ''Hokuto Shinken'' on them.* When Toki strikes a pressure point on Rei that could extend his lifespan and strength enough to allow him to fight Juda, what happens proves that it was never going to be easy. The procedure is incredibly painful, and lots of screaming results from it.** In particular, all of Rei's [[{{Fingore}} fingernails burst out of his fingers, one by one]].* Viceroy Jakou. He doesn't actually do that much in terms of fighting, but it doesn't make him less scary. First, he sports this big mad slasher grin almost all the time. The fact that it's based off of The Joker's grin from ''Batman'' really doesn't help. Second, he shamelessly uses his adoptive brother Falco to do all his dirty work. In fact, he had tried to have one of the twins [[spoiler: Lin and Lui]] killed off when they were only helpless infants. He claimed that a prophecy stated that twins would cause chaos, but it seems that he didn't really care about this prophecy so much as he just wanted to have an infant murdered for kicks. Finally, he tries to have his own adoptive brother murdered without a qualm. Even a NonActionBigBad in this story can be scary.* Kaioh. He happens to be very good at ''Hokuto Ryuuken'', and has become so demonic that he has to wear armor not for protection, but to keep his evil BattleAura contained. It goes without saying that if the armor ever comes off, horrible things will happen. At one point, he murders his own little sister Sayaka, just to manipulate her fiance Hyoh. It makes you wonder what it must have been like for her to live with this guy. He also captures Rin and states straight out that she will bear him his son. He's at least seven feet tall and pretty wide due to his muscular body, so how Rin would be able to bear him a child, willing or otherwise, is a nightmarish question to think about. The fact that she was on a bed and he was slowly and menacingly approaching her at one point certainly did not help matters.* Alf of the Hourglass. You might think he's just an imitator of a bull-fighting matador...until you punch his poisoned cape. The good news is that the poison itself will not kill you and will wear off in a short time. The bad news is that the poison will cause you to experience at least double vision and disorient you, in which time, Alf will charge to stab you with his weapon. Here's a little tidbit: in RealLife, there are poisons out there that can go through your skin and into your bloodstream; the official name for them is contact poisons. So the idea of getting poisoned just because it ended up on your hands is not as far-fetched as you might think.* Devil's Rebirth, a monstrous criminal from the pre-war world who was sentenced to a century-long prison sentence for a murder spree that racked up hundreds of victims. Why didn't they execute him? ''They DID. IT DIDN'T WORK''. To make matters worse, not only is Devil's Rebirth a literal giant standing several stories tall and has enormous strength, he is also a martial arts user, using a style that lets him control the wind. [[WhatAnIdiot Jackal releases him to take down Kenshiro]]. Thankfully, his size didn't make him immune to Kenshiro's attacks, though he survived just long enough to turn on Jackal when he tried to lie one last time to Kenshiro and hold him fast so Kenshiro could kill him with his own dynamite.

Update: 6:01PM THE Electoral Commission has taken the Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem to court to clarify what three days after the receipt of objection means.
Both parties interpreted that part of the Electoral Decree differently.
For the Commission, three days meant until midnight on Friday while Mr Saneem said it meant 4pm on Friday.
This led to Mr Saneem ignoring the decision of the Commission regarding the objection and review leading to the draw of the National Candidates List, which was issued on August 19.

School board members thanked
Published 12:45 pm, Thursday, June 9, 2011
To the Editor:
I would like to send a special thank you and an apology to two school board members.
Recently, I neglected the opportunity to speak my mind to school authorities concerning a matter with my child. I was met with opposition at all avenues. Left with no where to turn, I approached a board member. He allowed me to state my cause, agreeing that I should have had that opportunity from the beginning. His only assistance to me was to afford me the avenue to be heard.
This is where my apology comes to light. Along the way his words were twisted. Although I strongly feel this was no fault of mine, I would like to correct this misjudgment. At no time did he offer me a solution to my dilemma, only the avenue to reach a solution.
As for the other board member, he also only assisted me in my plight to be heard. At no time did either offer me a solution, only a means to a solution.
Although the outcome to my dilemma was in my child's favor, I feel these board members were wrongly accused of something neither did. I thank both of them for their help in the matter. I feel as though they both truly care for the children of our community.
As per my dilemma, perhaps my child's cause will help to change the policy that created the situation. This would make the efforts of everyone involved well worth the trouble.

Panic About Your Klout Score Is Just Plain Silly
Hi everyone! Are you on Klout? Well, you probably are but you just don't know it yet. They have profiles of just about everyone so when you log in using either your Twitter or Facebook accounts, you'll see your score. Mine fluctuates. You can see my current score in the upper right corner of my blog.
Now one of my Branding Challenge tasks is all about Klout. I'm not going to teach it to you today – if you want to learn that, you can grab my first 7 PDFs of the challenge here and get my entire tutorial on Klout.
Yesterday, they implemented a system of scoring that had many users scores diving and some soaring and some barely changing. My dipped a couple of points but is back up today.
But MAN…you should see the people ready to jump out of a window about this! I'll link to the 1,000+ comments Klout had to babysit here, but seriously, don't even spend much time there.
I totally understand how these people feel because I once felt that way whenever I was using Squidoo and I was so dedicated and addicted and they'd initiate a change and my lensrank would fall and OH BOY did they get an earful from ME!
How ridiculous.
I look back now and laugh about that. If you ARE using Klout, please understand that it should be used as a TOOL for you to remember to stay engaged. It should never be a bragging rights status.
I saw people saying they wouldn't be able to find a job now that their Klout score has dropped. REALLY? If that's ALL you bring to the table, you've got bigger problems, buddy. I saw people stamping their feet ad saying they were LEAVING Klout because of this new algorithm. LOL! Okay, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
One thing I read was so hilarious to me. Some lady was talking about how her last Tweet was shared 2,467,643 times (I'm being sarcastic and over-boosting it here, but the point is she was bragging about the # of RTs she had). She said her blog has an ENORMOUS amount of traffic. She said her G+ stream is blowing up she's so popular, but her KLOUT score dropped!
Um…can someone please explain to this lady that it's the engagement she HAS that's important, and not a number on a third party site? She has all this going for her and she's in sheer panic/anger mode over what number a site gave her?
She should just keep doing what she's doing if she's so popular and not worry about this. IE: I have no way to link my blog here because they only link the actual WordPress site, not independent blogs. But I'm not over there screaming when my Klout score drops because I KNOW what my reach is. It doesn't measure the emails of gratitude I get from you guys, or your comments here.
This is where the problem is.
People are hung up on bragging rights, period!
Use these sites as TOOLS…like a monkey using a stick to get ants or something. Use what it can deliver for you to help you to cater to your customers. For instance, I don't need a lensrank on Squidoo to validate my effectiveness as a lensmaster.
I don't need a Klout score to validate my appeal as a marketer.
What I CAN use Squidoo for is a platform to give me one more spot in Google's top serps (meaning one link is my blog, the second spot is a lens, etc).
What I can use Klout for is to track my level of engagement to SOME degree, not all. I can see when someone gives me +K for something. (Boy, that's called relationship building – I will go thank that person and connect more to them). I can see which topics my target audience attaches to my name, etc. I can log into Klout as a reminder to myself to give and share more with my customers in a way that makes THEM want to share MY name with others.
I saw so much anger and petty panic it was disturbing. I was there once. SO glad I'm not now. Hope YOU won't be, either. Klout rocks – if you know how to rock it. And it's not at ALL about gaming the system.
Look at how many comments people made about "trying to increase their Klout score." That is NOT what it's about. It's about doing and saying THINGS that people LOVE so much that they spread the word and you HAPPEN to increase your Klout score.
I will tell you this. If I'm engaged with my audience (which I am), I have an active following (which I do), and I convert higher than most other marketers percentage-wise (which I do), then I'm not changing a THING to increase my number on Klout. I will continue using it as a kick in the pants to keep doing what I'm doing and maybe if I log in one day and realize my score has plummeted over the past 30 days, I'll think to myself, "Hmm, have I not been sharing much lately? I'll go check." And if it turns out that people aren't retweeting or sharing my stuff because I've turned spammy, it might wake me up.
Alternatively, if I start giving away a report or something and I see my engagement soar, it could tell me, "Hey! People are eating up this giving nature of yours – keep at it!" And I will repeat those steps.
So step away from the window. All is well. I don't care if you're a 10 or an 80.

Thanks for this Tiffany!
It's always helpful to get a reminder to keep the eye on the ball. The *real* one, not a distracting shiny object.
Good Lordy, some of the comments on that Klout blog will do more harm to that person's real clout than a made up Klout Rank. 🙂
Good advice and I agree, just silly.
By the way, there was a guy on TV this morning, he's branded himself as a branding expert. 🙂 He had some good points. I just ordered his book on Amazon, "You Are the Brand" by Dr. Steve Adubato. Not sure if you've heard of him but just in case people are interested.
I think when WE realize WE ARE our brand, then things will get easier. WE have to believe in our brand. When I slip in this area… I realize while I could be my own best example, I can also be my own worst example and advocate!
BTW, what is Klout?
Roz Fruchtman
Ha. This makes me laugh that people are so worried about "WINNING"…
Thanks for the reminder to use it as a tool. When it's new, it's kind of fun to watch it go up. Not good to get too attached to the score.
Would you believe that I've never actually tweeted in my whole life? I've always seen it as being really contrived and I've really struggled to start using social media. I like G+ but I seem to spend ages on there and not getting on with anything else! 🙂
I had never heard of Klout before you mentioned it, Tiff, and now I keep hearing it everywhere! I think that some people are really taking it too seriously; some people are really fretting about their Klout score. Mine's probably 0.
What really made me take notice to all of this kind of thing was the way that your number of +1s on G now makes a difference to your ranking in the SERPS. I find that a little scary but it looks as though I'm going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
I either want to embrace it all fully…or go and live in a cave up in the hills. 🙂
Hi Tiffany,
Wow, some of these people were tripping big time. One person talked about how they connected with people and forced them-self to use G+ to make their score bigger. Umm shouldn't you be doing those things anyway because that is the way you want to get yourself known, build relationships and thus build your business.
People are focusing on this number the way some go overboard about their numbers on the scale when dealing with their weight. It's a tool not the be all or end all. If you are doing everything right you have nothing to worry about.
Oh the horror! My Klout score sucks and I'm going to jump out of the ground floor window in my family room :)LOL!
IMO if you're (not meaning you Tiff :)) that worried about your online social influence, it's time to take a break from your computer or smartphone, go outside and get a real life. Get some perspective. Seriously.
I second Rays comment – some people need to get a life. I was pleased to see I even had a score LOL!
It's interesting that they say my score is one thing (10 when I first arrived), but the overall total is bouncing around in the 20's. In one area I'm only a 1. Must mean those around me are pulling me up – is that right?
Anyway, this post cracked me up. Well, gotta get back to my real life. Since my office is actually a little underground, I have to jump up to get out the window. Life is rough sometimes!
If I were to try to pay attention to the social media and stay on there all the time, I wouldn't be getting the bead patterns out to my customers that they are crying for. I wouldn't get anything done. I have gotten hooked on facebook and twitter and didn't get anything else done. I try to make time for them when I can now; but I don't let them take over my life anymore.
By the way my score is in the 20's and they told me I had influence over one of the gurus and should get her to join. LOL I loved that one.
I'm with Edie…I'm a 10 (don't think I've EVER been a 10) LOL so I'm thrilled! I don't know that my Klout score will make a difference unless I have traffic, but the 10 reminds me to keep moving forward to GET traffic. I could be an 80 if I tweet enough maybe but if no one sees what I'm doing outside of Tweetsville, then what?
Worst case? I've got a heated pool I can go jump into! 🙂
Debi J
WTheck is Klout?
I presume it is the latest in social media.
Does anyone else feel like they are on a string chasing around all this social media stuff?
Was consciously avoiding the inane, so my social media activity is somewhat like Nathan's – no Twitter account, a twice-a-month Facebook check-in, and never heard of Klout till you mentioned it. Have yet to start G+, tho' i have several gmail accounts.
But you've opened my eyes to the possibilities – so now I'll have to get down to it.
Why doesn't some whizkid start a site with a cpanel of all social media buttons so one can just login once and attend to them all?
Hi Tiff, I always thought Klout was one of those Spammy sites anyway – Always sending me E-mails about one thing or another 🙁
I just checked my score after reading this – I'm at a lowly 27 🙂
Am I worried? …. Do I look it? 😉
I can't believe people get so wound up about these things when there's Big Brother Evictions to worry about 🙂
Cheers – Pete.
Hi Tiff
Klout is a toy, I mean tool. My score dropped a few points. But I'm still using it. However I did unfollow Klout on Twitter so I know Klout's own influence score dropped a few points.
"I saw people saying they wouldn't be able to find a job now that their Klout score has dropped. REALLY?" Yep, really. I've seen employment ads that say "Must have a Klout score of at least…" lol.

Reggae as a class of music with its slow bass beat is a very enjoyable genre. It is hard not to give credit or turn away from the man who put this genre of music and his country on the map. Bob Marley's powerful political lyrics and new age sound has become timeless. It is more" today" then it was when he wrote it; timeless work, absolutely timeless. He also comes from humble beginnings in the St Anne township (the same township as the first lady of Jamaica). Read more on Last.fm.

In the summer of 2007, at a secret location used by other cryptozoologists for searching for pterosaurs at night, Scott Norman took a turn alone to stay up and watch the sky. He had little hope of observing a pterosaur, for the video the others showed him was unconvincing to him: He thought it was a video of a bird.
According to the cryptozoologist Chad Arment, Scott Norman gave the following account to him, soon after Norman had the pterosaur sighting (here quoted only in part).
I was sitting in a chair, sideways towards the shed looking up at the starry skies, when this animal came gliding just over the shed and into the field . . . The animal I saw had an 8-10 foot wing span, the wings were bat-like in shape, the inside had that wavy type of look. The body was about 5-6 feet in length, the neck about 1-2 feet in length, the head was about four feet in length, and the head was key for me: it has a crest that was about 2 feet in length, fit that of a pteranodon, don't know how else to describe it.
The cryptozoologists who search the night skies at night, hoping for pterosaur sightings—those men have good reasons for keeping the location secret. Perhaps the major reason for the secrecy relates to the landowner.
The Death of Scott Norman
The cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, soon after the sudden passing of Scott Norman early in 2008, gave the following tribute (here quoted only in part).
Scott was a deeply religious man whose faith was with him always, and who was calm and intelligent. He will not be able to return to Africa, but Africa had become part of him. I am glad he was able to live his dreams before he left us.
I am totally in shock and send out my empathy, sympathy, and sorrow to his friendly family.
Scott, keep searching.
"Super 8" Not so Super (a movie review)
Creating a movie both engaging and satisfying to a discriminating viewer—that requires more than a healthy seed of an original idea, more than professional acting, more than astonishing special effects. Super 8 failed to satisfy me and my wife and engaged us only superficially, and then only up until near the ending. For those with a special desire to see Kyle Chandler in a new role, or a new monster in an old role, this movie certainly can satisfy, in some way, but the production could have been much better, probably at every stage from writing to directing.
Live Pterosaurs in America (second edition of the cryptozoology book)
Live "pterodactyls?" [AKA Pterosaurs] In the United States? Many scientists have long assumed all pterosaurs died millions of years ago. Now take a whirlwind tour of many years of investigations in cryptozoology, and prepare for a shock: At least two pterosaur species have survived, uncommon, not so much rare as widely and thinly distributed.
From the title page (2nd edition) of the cryptozoology book:
How are sightings in the United States related to those in the southwest Pacific? How do some apparent nocturnal pterosaurs pertain to bats, and how are bats irrelevant? How could modern living pterosaurs have escaped scientific notice? These mysteries have slept in the dark, beyond the knowledge of almost all Americans, even beyond our wildest dreams (although the reality of some pterosaurs is a living nightmare to some bats). These mysteries have slept . . . until now.

Shit, maybe this music is so far from what you usually listen to that people who know you would scratch their heads and ask "are you serious?" if you told them.So let me know, what is your dirty little musical secret? If you tell me yours I'll tell you mine.
Elton John. I like a lot of his songs, but many people say to me: "Are you serious? That guy is gay!"
Other Fred: The one thing that irks me about "Honey" is the "non-definitive" ending fade out that was a lot more common back then. Although I don't really care for the song calling it one of the worst is harsh.
I like Elton John's early stuff, no guilt necessary.
X: I have to second Doug, Elton John's early stuff is comparable to almost anyone else's canon. He and Taupin had a chemistry when it came to creating great music, whether rocking or ballad. He also had a wonderful voice in his youth. His later stuff saddens me though.
I'm listening to THE WHO SELL OUT as I type this, no guilt there. We need a music that rocks section.

Before I get started with this review, it's time for PRAISE PLEASE, a segment I do sometimes because I need praise like oxygen. I decided that in 2014, I was going to read 20% non-white authors. I got a slow start because by the time I resolved this, I already had ten reviews scheduled or in need of writing, and they were all of books by white authors. However, in the first third of the year, my books have been 40% by authors of color. Half POC authors would be best, but I am still pretty pleased with myself.
(I've been surprised how overwhelmingly American my reading is, though! 65% American so far! I really thought I read more British authors than that.)
If you have been anywhere around the blogosphere over the last year or so, you've probably heard of Boxers and Saints, Gene Luen Yang's companion-novel comics about the Boxer Rebellion. In Boxers, a village boy called Little Bao witnesses destruction, death, and abuse of power at the hands of Christians in China (both foreigners and native converts to the faith). Believing that he is possessed by the spirits of the gods, Bao organizes his friends and, later, men from many other villages into an army of "Boxers" to fight off the Christians. Vibiana, the protagonist of Saints, is an unwanted daughter whose interest in Christianity begins because she's hungry and they feed her. Then she begins to see visions of Joan of Arc, and she tries to right injustices where she sees them.
People have made the joke before that many of the technical Academy Award categories boil down to "most", not "best" — who did the most costume designing, who did the most acting — the idea being that the more a movie calls to its sound editing, its costume design, et cetera, the more likely it is to win that category. So I'm alive to the fact that I only mention coloring when it's doing something unusual, and it doesn't actually mean that the color folks for Hawkeye and Boxers and Saints are any better at their job than the color folks who aren't being flashy all the time.
That said, I loved what Lark Pien was doing with color in Boxers and Saints. Day to day, Little Bao and Vibiana's lives are drawn in dreary colors, grays and browns. But the visitations of the gods — Joan of Arc for Vibiana, warrior spirits for Little Bao — are drawn in vivid colors.
It's hard to imagine a better representation of what these spirits mean to Vibiana and Little Bao: An alternative and a choice, in lives that have offered them very little opportunity to choose for themselves. That Little Bao gets caught up in the righteous fervor of the Boxer Rebellion, and Vibiana in practicing Christianity, makes perfect sense when cast in this light — they both yearn to be able to bring meaningful change to their lives and the lives of those they love, to be part of something greater than themselves.
In particular, Yang is brilliant at depicting the worsening atrocities of which Little Bao finds himself capable as the rebellion goes on. At first he's joyful to be part of something greater, but the other side of that coin — he quickly finds — is that the something greater can have a life beyond simply what he wants. The spirits that possess him ask more and more of him. His own anger on behalf of those harmed by missionaries and British soldiers leads him to commit murders that feel both wrong and necessary.
I'm probably the last person in the blogosphere to read Boxers and Saints, but in case you are lagging behind as well, I'll take this opportunity to further recommend them! They're very user-friendly in medium (the comics panels are laid out in a way that's easy to follow, with very little tricksiness that might mess up comics newbies) and in content (I didn't know a ton about the Boxer Rebellion before beginning, and I never felt lost as to the broader context of what was happening). They're the best YA historical fiction I've read in some time — strongly endorsed!
If you've read these, do you think they have the capacity to be a comics gateway drug a la Persepolis and Maus? I can very much see that happening, and I like the notion because it gets lame after a while to keep on recommending those two comics and only those two comics to nervous comics readers.
