The Dunn Lab investigates how evolution has produced a diversity of life. We primarily focus on form (i.e. morphology), and are interested in learning about the actual history of life on Earth as well as the general properties of evolution that have contributed to these historical patterns. The type of questions the Dunn Lab asks require field (marine), laboratory, and computational work.
The development of phylogenetic tools and the application of these tools to particular groups of organisms are central to this work. Because a diversity of form has been realized through the evolution of developmental mechanisms, we also study development from a descriptive and functional perspective.
We ask comparative questions at multiple phylogenetic scales. At the broadest scale we are investigating the relationships of the major groups of animals to each other.
Much of our work focuses on the Cnidaria, an extremely diverse group that includes corals, jellyfish (medusae), and hydroids. The relatively simple organization of cnidarians combined with their extreme diversity in morphology, development, ecology, and life cycles make them an ideal group to study the evolution of major transitions in these characters (which often exhibit homoplasy and parallelism, providing independent chances to study the same repeated changes).
We are particularly interested in the siphonophores, a unique group of colonial deep-sea superorganisms that include the longest animals in the world. Please visit siphonophores.org to learn more about them. We primarily study the evolution of their colony-level organization and development, but because siphonophores are so poorly known we also work on their systematics (both phylogenetics and alpha taxonomy), descriptive morphology, and natural history.

Motorcycle Rider Education
Basic Rider Course
The Basic Rider Course is for non-riders, new riders, or someone wanting a refresher course. It is open to anyone sixteen years of age or older.
Your Rider Coaches are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. They'll start you off with straight-line riding, turning, shifting and stopping. You'll gradually progress to cornering, swerving and emergency braking. In the classroom you'll learn about the different types of motorcycles, their controls, and how they operate.
The Rider Coaches, all experienced motorcyclists, will advise you on what to wear for comfort and protection. You'll find out how alcohol and other drugs affect your ability to ride safely. A very important segment of the course will show you how to create your own strategy for riding in traffic, and dealing with critical situations.
Kentucky students successfully completing the course will receive a license waiver for the skill test to obtain your motorcycle license(and some insurance agencies offer discounts). Motorcycles and helmets are furnished to each student. The fee for this course is $150 for Kentucky residents and $250 for non-Kentucky residents.
Register early. Spaces cannot be guaranteed for mailed registrations.
Classes fill 1 – 2 months in advance! Maximum enrollment: 12.
All classes meet on Friday, 6 – 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. (Central time). All classroom and skills hours must be attended in order to successfully complete course requirements.
REQUIRED Riding Gear for the Basic Course
- Eye protection(safety, prescription or sun glasses)
- Over-the-ankle boots with rubber soles
- Long, sturdy pants
- Long sleeve shirt or jacket
- Full-fingered gloves
This class is currently offered free to 16 and 17 year old Kentucky residents. Limit of two free slots per class.
Basic RiderCourse 2 (formerly the ERC)
The Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC 2) is for individuals who have a current motorcycle permit or license, have access to a street legal cycle and have riding experience. You'll discuss with your peers how to balance the mental and physical aspects of safe riding, manage risk, increase visibility and optimize your lane position.
The "BRC 2" also covers protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, the effects of alcohol and other drugs on riding, and includes an optional skill evaluation and knowledge test.
Using your own motorcycle, you'll put into practice the techniques of managing traction, stopping quickly, cornering and swerving. Some insurance agencies offer discounts for successful completion of the course.
The course meets on Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. All classroom and skill hours must be attended in order to successfully complete course requirements. The fee for this course is $75 for Kentucky residents and $150 for non-Kentucky residents. Maximum enrollment: 12.
What you will need for the BRC 2
- Your own street legal motorcycle
- Riding gear (Same as basic course)
- DOT approved helmet (will be provided if you do not have your own)

Will Best Buy close more stores?
The beleaguered retailer, hit hard by 'showrooming' and fierce online competition, has few cards to play and may make an announcement Tuesday.
Best Buy, based in Richfield, Minn., has announced two rounds of store closings, and influential retail analyst Stacy Widlitz argued on CNBC.com Monday that "investors would simply like to see more on the way." It's easy to see why. Best Buy has about 1,062 U.S. stores, up from 923 in 2008. Same-store sales, a key metric, have slumped in eight of the past 10 quarters. The retailer recently said comparable sales would continue to fall in the next quarter.
According to Reuters, Best Buy generates about $302,800 per employee in revenue annually, well below the industry average of more than $132 million. The company employs about 170,000 people. Of course, this trend is unsustainable. The question is what can Best Buy do about it.
Best Buy and other brick-and-mortar chains are trying to combat "showrooming"-- shoppers who look at merchandise in physical stores and later buy online at a discount. Investors have to be concerned about whether the retailer will "give away the store" with free shipping offers and by slashing prices to compete against rivals ranging from Amazon (AMZN) to Wal-Mart (WMT) to hhgregg (HGG).
Investors were heartened by the company's new chief financial officer, Sharon McCollam, who is credited with helping turn around Williams-Sonoma (WSM) by shrinking the company's store count. Though McCollam is confident Best Buy can improve its fortunes, skeptics abound. For one thing, its rivals can easily cut prices to match or exceed whatever Best Buy may charge. Then there's the buyout being pushed by company founder Richard Schulze.
Whomever runs Best Buy will be tasked with improving the company's ecommerce business. Last year, the company said it would double annual online sales in five years. Even under a best-case scenario, that's going to a tough goal to achieve. Turning around Best Buy will be even harder.

Wait a minute is that a correct figure?
"Best Buy generates about $302,800 per employee in revenue annually, well below the industry average of more than $132 million"
So what they are saying here is each employee in the big box stores genrates 132 million in sales and most are working for 8 bucks an hour!
Wow just wow.
Not that I want these people to lose they're jobs but Best Buy stinks. I went in to ask about a specific laptop option that is on they're website and I talked to about 5 people and no one knew what the hell I was talking about. I also inquired about they're buy back program for laptops. I showed them the laptop I bought from them a year and a half prior for about $700. They wanted to give me $67 for it. What a joke. I won't be shopping there again.
I purchased my entire kitchen full of appliances through them a few years back. After paying them off ahead of schedule, I bought 2 air conditioners due to my central A/C failing.
I was never late on a payment, always paid mre than the minimum, and had no prior problems.
They decided to change my monthly due date a few days ahead, without my consent, and made me late on ONE payment. When I questioned them on it, they claimed they "can not reverse a late fee".
I paid off the balance immediately and never did business with them again.
They are failing due to their own practices, and I could not be happier!
Best Buy, YOU SUCK!!!
I have not shopped at Best buy since 2000. I purchased a car stereo for my wife's car and it died within 2 month's. When I took it back, I was told I would have to pay to have it taken out and shipped to be repaired. When I told them that the salesperson assured me that anything wrong would be taken care of in house, the person told me that I was misinformed and there was nothing he could do. The kicker is when I told them to just put it back in the car (he had already removed it) he put the cd that was causing the problem back in the player! Poor customer service will kill any business. I am not sad to this poor excuse of a retailer go by the wayside.
I was shopping for a new radio/CD player on my birthday a few years ago and I went all over town, checking every price, trying to find the best deals.
Guess what? Best Buy was not only not the best deal, they were the worst! They oversold the other stores by over $15. I ended up buying it at Sears instead.
And as if that's not enough, their employees are rude and annoying. Seriously, I can't spend more than 5 minutes in a Best Buy without, like, 3 different employees rolling up asking if I need help, as if I'm about to start stuffing phones in every orifice and running out of the store.
They're so suspicious and really obvious about it.
That's why they're crashing. They're expensive and annoying.
Wait, wait! How can this be?
We just re-elected a prez that according to voters is doing a good job on the economy, and the "middle class is doing fine!" If anything, Best Buy and ALL retail chains that sell goods made, shipped from, and sold by CHINA and JAPAN to us here should be hiring MORE workers!!
After all, the economy is booming, isn't it? This writer's got it all wrong.
A dis-satisfied voter and customer.
They don't have enough people to help the customer, not to mention, opening the doors at 10 am seems a little late in the day. The prices are high on many of things they have to offer. However, it is one of my favorite stores to shop for tv's, printers and other electronic toys. My suggestion would be for them to open the doors at 8am, pay the sales people commission on sales, cross train all employees to handle the entire store,

Happy Friday. Hope it's not as hot where you are as it is here in Washington. How about some stealth jet porn to start the weekend. A tipster forwarded this clip showing Russia's premiere stealth fighter, the Sukhoi T-50 PAK FA performing some decent aerobatics. The jet shown is likely the first of two test jets that have been built; the first one being used for aerodynamic testing while the second is reportedly being used to test out the aircraft's mission systems. Enjoy!

Seems strange they are doing low level acrobatic testing of brand new aircraft over populated areas? just me?
- June 10, 2011 at 2:21 pm
Eh, its Russia
- June 10, 2011 at 3:52 pm
They probably trust the machine that was produced 1.5 years ago.
Unlikely it's flying over populated areas. Plane was caught over airfield in immediate proximity to civilian buildings . Looks like airfield of Gromov Flight Research Institute.
- November 12, 2011 at 10:02 pm
It's Russia.

okay if I lived in Russia, and no matter how crappy or depressing my life was, if I looked out the window of my shitty Russian apartment and saw that, I would be so FUCK YEAH MOTHERLAND WWOOOOOO
- June 10, 2011 at 3:59 pm
Yeah, but i do believe that life of average citizen in Moscow Region is far from being depressing.
- June 10, 2011 at 3:04 pm
It seems strange that the flight envelope of the PAK T-50 is three times ahead of the eternal development F-35. No wonder Russia and India are confident that it will outperform the F-35 in every way. Good nigh US air superiority.
- June 12, 2011 at 7:29 pm
well they will have to produce over 2000… ever gonna happen… maybe… will it?…. nope
- June 13, 2011 at 7:57 am
how many F35are there now for all the money spent ,PAK FA prototypes were on the other hand is a private venture something US contractors forgot about some time ago. . As for 2000 orders highly doubtfull as the plane simply became to expensive for people just wanting to replace good old F16
- June 10, 2011 at 3:09 pm
superrapter have u heard of the f22 and the f35 was ment to replace the a10 and f18 witch are manly made for ground targets.the f22 was made to replace the f16 and f15 bolth manly made for air
- June 10, 2011 at 4:10 pm
So are ALL of Russia's fighter pilots capable of flying for aerobatic teams?
- June 11, 2011 at 2:36 am
- June 11, 2011 at 2:46 am
But i believe that the most of Russia's test pilots are capable of aerobatic flight.
- November 12, 2011 at 10:06 pm
All Russian pilots are obligated to push it to the limit FOR THE MOTHERLAND. If they die they are not true Soviets.
- June 10, 2011 at 4:14 pm
Can does anyone know whether this plane is really stealthy or just more typical Russian BS?
- June 12, 2011 at 7:29 pm
well, we will have to wait for another gulf war TT
- June 13, 2011 at 2:03 am
Gulf war was not fair fight where the most modern Western tech faced with obsolete Soviet equipment (including Iraqi tanks made with garbage spare parts). You should know it.
- June 10, 2011 at 4:40 pm

"Can does anyone know whether this plane is really stealthy or just more typical Russian BS?"
Well, it has
- 4 internal weapon bays
- stealthy profile
- small vertical tails (adopted for small frontal RCS)
- airframe that was designed and built with a large portion of radar-absorbent composite materials used in its parts (~25% total, ~70% aircraft surface, the numbers are pretty similar to F-22)
- there're no any publicly available information about its radar-absorbent paint/coating (prototypes lacks)
- there're no any information about radar blocker design (prototypes lacks). Yes, T-50 does not have 100%-curved S-shaped intake ducts unlike F-22.
- too many question about future (final production) engine
- June 10, 2011 at 8:09 pm
I guess that means no one knowns. It looks kinda stealthy but the Rssians are practicied liars about the capabilities and quality of their hardware. I would suspect given the lack of industrial capacity or materials development that it's not any more stealthy than anything off an F117.
- June 11, 2011 at 2:33 am
Why they are "practicied liars"? If you are talking about Russian weapons manufacturers and their advertising for potential customers, it's all about marketing. It's works same way anywhere with any military equipment around the world.
Russians are truly experts in materials science. Look at their space program – i mean spacecraft, rockets, space stations etc. They have highly developed aerospace industry. If they can build spacecraft why they should not be able to develop advanced composite materials for their fighter jets.
- June 11, 2011 at 4:50 am
in the cold war they were known for their brilliant scientstis, but they were shoddy on the final QA (of the final product).
- June 11, 2011 at 7:09 am
It's depends what final product you are talking about.
During the cold war era Soviets produced excellent missiles, supersonic strategic bombers, ICBMs etc. i a mean very sophisticated weapons.
- June 13, 2011 at 11:22 am
In arms manufacturing its not really the same. Unless your country is populated exclusively with morons, when you purchase equipment worth 100's of millions of dollars you demand detailed specifications, tolerances, performance specifications as well as capabilities. You then test examples of that product thoroughly to make sure the equipment performs as described, then as the equipment is delivered, you make sure the asset works as the demonstrator does BEFORE YOU PAY.
The Russians have boasted about the capabilities of their equipment for the past 100 years but rarely has it actually lived up to marketing. Most countries which can choose because they have the cash, choose western equipment, because saving some money is not worth the risk of loosing a war with a western equipped army
- June 23, 2011 at 3:53 am
It's not the kit, it's how you use it.
Interestingly, weapons are bought by politicians based on media pressure and telephone surveys, and with special attention paid to how much they can get paid. Detailed specifications, tolerances and so on are usually exaggerated.
The results are used by soldiers. Soldiers make do with the crap that the politicians let them have.
I think you'll find that the Russians have done tolerably well with what they've got. A guy called A. Hitler got his arse handed to him, despite his nominally 'better' gear.
- June 10, 2011 at 5:46 pm
Just because their aircraft were produced faster doesnt make them superior to the F22 and F35. If anything, the longer production time and testing and what not is a benefitial factor for americas stealth fighters. Its frustrating with the budget constraints and performance issues, however im confident that the longer it takes for them to roll out of the factory, the safer and better the aircraft will be!!
- June 10, 2011 at 8:11 pm
Don't attribute slow development speed to quality control. Slow projects tend to be of lower quality than fast projects, but less so than medium paced projects.
- June 10, 2011 at 10:35 pm
That is, the longer it takes and more the increases, the higher profit for the defense contractor. But that is another thread…..
- June 11, 2011 at 2:41 am
PAK-FA program had started in early 2000's. The first serial production fighter jet is planned for 2015+. It's quite long and routine development program.
- June 11, 2011 at 4:52 am
don't forget that those are just test aircraft.
and the speed of (initial) production doesn't matter, since they will test first and start it afterwards.
just like the f35 should've been.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:23 am
Slow just means more money in cost+ contract ,mach 3+ Blackbird went from drawing board to the sky in a year and it served for quite a long time an is still cutting edge
- June 13, 2011 at 9:14 am
It's only cutting edge by virtue of speed and the use of titanium to build most of the aircraft. As stated by others, the SR's speed was meant to exploit blip/scan ratio but I wonder if that ever really worked out. That said, none were ever shot down.
Modern stealth aircraft use composites which probably don't do well when subject to high heat at Mach 3.2. It doesn't make modern aircraft less cutting-edge because they are slower. By spec, if you compare the J58 with the F135 the J58's are old and no longer state of the art. Even the F119 produces more thrust. So what makes the SR cutting edge these days?
- June 10, 2011 at 9:08 pm
well, the typical russian analog ejection system has a higher survival rate than their western digital counterparts
- June 11, 2011 at 4:13 am
Zzzzzzzzzzz. Pak-FA is a non-story.
- June 11, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Looks like the PAK-FA is ahead of the F-35 program. There are no videos of the F-35 doing a similar aerobatic routine, because we know when they tried the actuators locked up at 4G.
No problem another 2 year delay replace the electrical system.
- June 11, 2011 at 4:41 pm
Now Oblat is as aviation expert and engineer.
Do enough air show tricks and your plane is automatically the best. Yep.
- June 12, 2011 at 7:33 pm
??? just cause its flying around a lot sooner then the f35, is it really better??? remember the mig29? it caused horror inflicting thoughts, but was actually a flop in combat due to inferior training and etc. recently, algeria rejected their order cause the migs were built horiibly. teh US F35s wnt dogfight with russian paks but israelian f35s might fight syrian or iranian pak fas. and there my friend, a typical end result will occur
- June 14, 2011 at 2:08 am
MiG-29 is decent aircraft. It just was not used properly. Not to mention that all of these downed MiG-29s during the engagements in Iraq or Serbia were outnumbered and surpassed technologically (migs were picked up by AWACS and downed by fighters jets of other "heavy" league such as F-15 etc.)
As for Russian-Algerian contract, AFAIK, Algeria rejected MIGs for political reasons in favor of France. Technical problems were just excuse. Anyway, Indian is airforce happy with their Su-30MKIs.
- June 11, 2011 at 5:02 pm
I do hope some of you are aware of the over-exaggerations Ivan puts on his tech, it's almost as bad as the pentagon. Remember the waves the T-80 and BMP-1 sent throughout the Pentagon and NATO? We all know those were death traps, not to mention their gross "over-sizing" played up by all 3 players.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:31 am
BMP1 at the time it appeared was a fuc**ng terminator compared to its western counterpart M113 that was realy a death trap. Until the M1, Leopard ,Challenger apeared basic T72 was quite a machine meant to be used in european theatre en mass with a small crew,fast autoloader ,good frontal armor and a big gun in what is realy a medium tank its oponets at the time (70's) were far from M1 in terms of protection,mobility, firepower and optics
- June 13, 2011 at 11:04 am
When it was introduced, BMP-1 was a truly revolutionary machine in its class.
T-80 was a premier Soviet tank. T-80 had great armor (almost immune to the 105mm – most widely used NATO's AT munition at that time), great firepower, manoeuvrability and transportability. T-80 was a very nice offensive tank, not death trap.
- June 12, 2011 at 3:28 pm
The best way to be always prepared is to never underestimate your opponent. It doesn't matter if there has been a history of technological flops in the Russian arsenal, don't let that take your guard down. Always fight a fight, like it's a fight.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:11 am
Russian ejector seats are true marvels and outpreform any western counterpart by a wide margin in also unique are helicopter ejection seats
'In total, more than 12,000 K-36 ejection seats have been produced to date and no less than 97% of the airmen who have used them in an emergency have been able to continue their flying careers-the highest percentage in the aviation world'
It is interesting to note that most recently, a program is also underway in the United States to study the effectiveness of Russian egress systems, the exceptional capabilities of which were most dramatically demonstrated to the whole world by an almost miraculous pilot recovery at the Paris Air Show several years ago, when the Russian pilot's MiG-29 aircraft was literally within a few dozen feet of impacting the ground in a semi-inverted, extremely disadvantageous attitude. Of note are the many advanced features of the Russian seats, and their exceptionally favourable recovery rates, which have been until recently all but ignored by Western egress systems researchers. Much work remains to be done on this but there is even talk of the possibility of integrating Russian seats into American aircraft–something that would have been inconceivable pre 1989.''
- June 22, 2011 at 9:50 pm
Nothing can or will be able to touch the f-22 for years to come. period. end of story. shame gates cancelled it. hopefully new president will reinstate the program. as for the f-35….remember the f-111 program of mcnamara fame? no way the pak engines are stealthy – fully visible for radar to bounce of of them. wonder why you never see pics of the rear of an f-22???
- June 23, 2011 at 9:14 am
"Nothing can or will be able to touch the f-22 for years to come."
That sounds like LM propaganda.
"no way the pak engines are stealthy – fully visible for radar to bounce of of them. wonder why you never see pics of the rear of an f-22??? "
Those engines are not the final production variant. The finalengine would have stealthy design.
- July 26, 2011 at 12:24 pm
U know dis is wat I like about AMERICANS. They r so overconfident nd have such a superiority complex aobut themselves that they never see dat da rest of the world is or has already overtaken them.
dont believe me just look at ur economical n educational position in da world right now.
nd buddy keep on watchin a planes ass…da fact dat u feel u know a lot about aerodynamics just by lookin at a pic proves ur indifference.
get ur facts straight….study a little..dere is a thing called WIKIPEDIA…study hard bro u will get ur answer about PAK-FA's nozzle design..nd why it is designed like dat
BTW…stop being overconfident bro…dont underestimate others…. !!!
just a friendly advice !!
- July 26, 2011 at 12:52 pm
"wonder why you never see pics of the rear of an f-22"
Or did you mean some other context?
- June 23, 2011 at 2:10 am
It looks like an emergency landing with engine lost traininig…
- August 11, 2011 at 7:47 pm
Even the most retardet in the US already know that F-22 is a real shit! I am a pilot! Yes, a shit! The propaganda made it for making money and to manipulate the Americans. F-22 cannot participate anywhere, because it is not even a stealthy fighter. It is like many years ago. The US made F-15, than the Russian Su-27. After that US were depressed for 30 years and they had to lie tha the had created 5th generation aircraft. No! Now, the situation is similar. The Russians will have this really beautiful fighter in 2-3 years and will dominate for the next 30 years. … I know that is nasty and you are to proud to aknowidge that but it is a fact! Sorry! The Americans are good but it is very easy for their polititians to manipulate them…
- November 12, 2011 at 10:32 pm
I don't believe anyone informed on the subject could say that the Raptor is ****. We've all seen videos on Youtube and elsewhere and maybe some more lucky among us have seen it in airshows and it's rather impressive, it might not be as fancy-acrobatic as the Flanker but it's at least it's equal if not superior in terms of agility and dogfighting capability thanks to its mind blowing thrust/weight ratio and power mentainance at close turns.
I agree that it's capabilities and performance might be greatly exaggerated in public, for example I highly doubt that it can reach post mach3 speeds being a stealth design (it has to sacrifice in aerodynamics and mechanical endurance of structural materials), or that it can easily outmanuever every other aircraft or that it is invisible even to the eyes of God and can kill every foe before they can see it. This might either due to propaganda or overpatriotic kids spreading rumors or because the lobbyists in the U.S. government don't want to admit that they favored Lockheed over Northrop in the YF-22 vs YF-23 competition and made a wrong choise. Nevertheless that doesn't reduce the fact that the Americans put effort , inginiousness and most importantly ****loads of money to make the best aircraft of its time and that the operational plane is way more refined than the YF-22 prototype.

HAHAHA junk f35 cannot fly in bad weather and they found cracks in turbine blades, whathefuck air superiority……all of thef are GROUNDED!!!! shame for USAF!!
- June 10, 2011 at 10:32 pm
The F-35 is a poor replacement for the A10. The idea is not to build an F-22B, but rather more advanced drones and an eventual new bomber.
I'm not sure Panetta is listening.
There is however something rotten with our abandoning a twin engine supercruise stealthy air craft in numbers too low to mean very much while other build upon our innovation. The next generation of hypervelocity missiles will require larger internal storage than the F-22.
- June 11, 2011 at 4:49 am
you don't need a strafer for the replacement of the a-10.
an ac with a laser designator (optionally), EO pod and the griffin missile will do.
the a-10 wouldn't be a great CAS tool in an event of a WW3 anyway. have you ever seen a combat tank formation? it's very difficult to strafe (in a single pass), believe me.
- June 11, 2011 at 9:29 am
I rather doubt the F-35 can withstand the hits an A10 can take. You also forget the cost benefits as the A10 is a fairly cheap aircraft and by the way, twin engined with the engines more towards the rear.
But then you seem to have hands on experience….
- June 23, 2011 at 3:45 am
A friend commented on RAF Harriers with no guns doing CAS in Afghanistan. His comment was "useful like a chocolate teapot".
There are no tank formations to strafe. Everything is light infantry in cover or displacing and well dispersed.
- June 13, 2011 at 8:20 am
Depends what you term shoddy in the end their aircraft have to operate in conditions where western planes would fall apart ,no stone picking prior sorties there ,mudgards,and intake screens . The impotant diference was in the requrements set to designers all rusian planes have to be able to opreate in rough or even unrepared strips that is within the capabiliy of a A10 but not F15 even less so F22 or F35. As for liars i highly doubt LM ,GE ,Boeing can be topped ,just remember what a cheap plane JSF will be cheaper too buy & operate than legarcy fighters,invisigle to radar(yeah right with all sorts of bulges apearing in its final shape).

"This appears to be the first time we've seen a PAK-FA/T-50 using its 3D TVC system in testing. "
I think they used 3D TVC year ago at the T-50-1 presentation for Putin (June 2010).
"If they can make it work with the large movable LEX and the all moving tails in a production fighter its going to be a nightmare to tackle WVR"
Sure, all of these control surfaces and engine are integrated into flight control system. Also, Russians would integrated advanced anti-g suite into FCS.They demonstrated newly-developed anti-g suit that was designed for PAK-FA program. Integrated computer controlled pilot supporting system prevents loss of consciousness of the pilot on extremely high-G maneuvering. It's helps keep up proper breathing and blood circulation (it can pressure necessary parts of pilot body by signal from FCS)
Seems that T-50's primary design concept optimized for super manoeuvrability and supersonic (supercruise) speeds.
- June 13, 2011 at 11:04 am
Not to mention that the A-10 can carry a whole lot of ordnance and can loiter for a lot longer than any other jet fighter made or that's due to come out.
- June 13, 2011 at 11:24 am
T-50/PAK-FA is not exception here. It can operate from rough airfields with a short runway. They want aircraft carrier variant too.

Time for another crumble
Every member of our family refused to eat more than a bite of these apples. Soft and unpleasant, sour taste. Will not buy again. Hopefully they'll taste better in tonight's crumble, with a tonne of sugar!

These apples looked good but they were sour and every one was bruised.
Crackin' Pork Belly
Crackling has to be one of the best things known to man. This recipe takes a cheaper cut of pork and cooking for plenty of time so it becomes moist and succulent on the inside and creates the perfect crackling on top! Served with vegetables and an apple mash, this is one dish you won't want to miss. For more great SORTED recipes just visit www.sortedfood.com.

One person is in custody after weapons were discovered at Chamblee Charter High School Tuesday, DeKalb school officials say.
No one was injured, and the type of weapon or weapons recovered remains unclear. Officials stated during a news conference Tuesday that three large bags containing 'long guns' were recovered.
A bomb squad was called in to investigate the scene. Authorities say one teenager, 16, is in custody from this incident. The arrested individual is a student at the school, and was recently suspended, officials stated Tuesday afternoon.
Officials say the student had two loaded guns in his possession when we was arrested. Additional weapons were located near the football stadium. Officials say the student admitted to being involved in a robbery near the school, where he obtained the weapons. Authorities say the student was attempting to sell the weapons and was likely not targeting the school for violence, however the investigation continues.
Images from SKYFOX 5 showed an increased police presence around the building near dismissal. All students were dismissed safely, officials say.
This story is developing. Stay with FOX 5 News for the latest.

Download "Ubuntu Virtualization Made Easy"
Ubuntu 12.04, the latest version of Ubuntu Server, has been designed to help you deliver new services faster and with more flexibility. The default virtualization technology supported in Ubuntu is KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), a technology that takes advantage of virtualization extensions built into Intel and AMD hardware.
The KVM is a part of the Linux kernel. KVM needs a second layer to run in user space. This is much faster than running the entire virtualization process in user space, on top of another operating system. KVM is designed for use on processors that have either the VT-x or AMD-V extension enabled. Managing VMs with KVM in Ubuntu is done using libvirt and QEMU.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

» Newsletter Archives
In this time of political and economic uncertainty, I suspect that many of you, like me, have been trying to stay attuned, monitoring the forces that may impede the ability of our profession to meaningfully advance the public's health. These forces include the growing challenges to funding for both public health generally and epidemiologic work specifically, as well as to our field's ability to maintain, let alone grow, core capacity for public health work. A conversation I had last year with a former professor, a distinguished epidemiologist, highlights one of these challenges. He explained his dismay about a growing trend away from fully funded, "hard money" epidemiologist positions at universities and public health agencies to "soft money," grant-driven positions. This trend, in his view, has inevitably led to greater proportions of epidemiologists becoming dependent on external funding for their work. This work then often becomes focused more on answering the questions of external funders than on answering the questions raised locally in terms of practical public health or in terms of the body of work within scientific disciplines themselves.
One might ask: What key public issues are ignored when funding, rather than public health needs in our communities, directs our work? What important public health interventions are not translated to practice because of the lack of funders' interest in addressing some specific public health needs?
As chair of one of APHA's largest and oldest sections, let me challenge you, as members of the Epidemiology Section, to continue watching public health over the next months and years and to consider how this Section might be more effective in advancing our profession and defining its relevance. I welcome your comments as letters to the editor or personal comments to our Section leadership.
As one way to continue the conversation, the Joint Policy Committee (JPC) of the Congress of Epidemiology Societies is hosting an invited session at this year's Annual Meeting in San Diego about the "Future of Epidemiology" on Monday, Oct. 27. We have invited some leading epidemiologists. Please plan on attending that session. More information will be available as the meeting draws closer. I look forward to the coming Annual Meeting in San Diego — one of the first U.S. west coast meetings in several years!
This spring newsletter is the newsletter that bridges the gap between our Annual Meetings, so it will highlight some of our Section activities and news so far this year and tell you more about what is coming up for the annual meeting Oct. 26-29 in San Diego.
Our Section has had an extraordinary response of submitted abstracts to our call for abstracts for the Annual Meeting. Thank you to all abstract reviewers who reviewed the work of peers and students. As of this writing, the Section program committee, led by Dr. Aaron Mendelsohn, has nearly completed its work, organizing our Section's Annual Meeting sessions, which cover a wide variety of topics. APHA program organizers have recently sent e-mails to notify authors regarding the status of their submitted abstracts. Also, the committee has organized a great array of invited sessions on important public health topics, including several specifically focused on issues related to the theme of the annual meeting, "Public Health Without Borders." Information about the Epidemiology Section program will be posted within the next few months on APHA's Web site.
In late May, APHA elections notices were e-mailed to all sections' members asking members to use unique logins to vote for their choices for new leadership openings for next year (Section Councilor and six Section Governing Councilor positions were open). You may have noticed that about a week or more after the first e-mail, APHA sent another e-mail asking members to vote or re-vote, and the voting deadline was extended to the first week of July since not all candidates who had been nominated were listed on the original Web site.
If you have already voted, thank you. If there is still time to vote by the time you receive this newsletter, please do so. Click this link for more information. It is very important that our Section leadership reflect the support of the majority of our membership! In the coming years, Section elections will occur from May to June. Thank you to all of those who stepped up to run for leadership this year. Those of you interested in finding out more about future leadership opportunities, please contact me or any of the other leaders.
The three awards groups (Career, Public Health Practice, and Student Awards) of the Section Awards Committee, led overall by Dr. Claudia A Kozinetz, have also been working, and so far we are excited with both nominees and award winners now being selected. The Public Health Practice Awards group, led by Dr. Kristopher P. Fennie, is extending the call for nominations of these awards until July 20 and requests your help identifying both organizations and early career (less than 10 years) individuals who have used epidemiology to make measurable public health impacts. Please see below the call for nominations for APHA Epidemiology Section Public Health Practice Awards.
This year we are planning on highlighting those winning these distinguished awards in two separate sessions. On Monday, Oct. 27, from 2:30 – 4 p.m., we will have the Career Awards Ceremony, featuring the Wade Hampton Frost Lecture and shorter lectures from other winners. On Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m., we will have a combined Student Awards Ceremony and Career Session. We are hoping that students and our professional colleagues will continue discussions from both sessions by networking and celebrating with Section leadership at the Section Social Tuesday evening (more details coming)!
I want to start with a special plug for students who are interested in getting involved with our Section. In this issue, Section student leaders introduce themselves and tell you how you can get more involved as student members. Please read more below and contact these student leaders!
For those of you coming to San Diego, please plan on attending one or more Epidemiology Section meetings on Saturday night, Oct. 25; Sunday night, Oct. 26; or bright and early Tuesday morning before the first 8:30 a.m. session. Details about specific times and locations will be available on APHA's Web site, in our fall newsletter, and at the Section's Booth in the exhibit area at the conference.
I have mentioned this change above already, but want to underline it. Look for two ceremonies this year: (1) Monday, Oct. 27, from 2:30 – 4 p.m.: the Career Awards Ceremony, featuring the Wade Hampton Frost Lecture and shorter lectures from other winners, and (2) Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 10:30 a.m. –12 p.m.: a combined Student Awards Ceremony and Career Session. So professional colleagues and students, let's celebrate at both ceremonies — and continue the celebrating and networking at the Tuesday evening Section Social.
We are looking for your ideas and contributions for our quarterly newsletter. If you have an important announcement or would like to briefly highlight some important epidemiologic findings, please contact Mr. Oscar Alleyne. The next deadline for newsletter items is Sept. 15.
Invitation to Join our Section
If you are not a member of the Section and wish to be, don't forget, APHA now allows multiple section memberships. We welcome any colleagues from other sections to also join the Epidemiology Section!
I remain excited about the participation of Section members and leaders, including students, and professional partners from other sections and epidemiology societies, in advancing the mission of our Section. Looking forward to a great year for the APHA Epidemiology Section!
Yours truly,
Dr. Jim Gaudino

The Epidemiology Section invites the submission of late breaker abstracts related to epidemiology for the 136th APHA Annual Meeting, Oct. 25-29, 2008 in San Diego.
All abstracts may be submitted through the APHA Web site beginning June 1, 2008. Please follow the directions on the site. Abstracts must describe studies completed after the general February 2008 abstract deadline to be considered for presentation. In addition, abstracts must be 250 words or less with the standard background, methods, results, and discussion sections. Abstracts submitted without results will not be reviewed. Studies that are specific to the theme of the conference, "Public Health Without Borders," will receive highest priority.
Individuals should submit material only if they, or a designee, are committed to presenting the paper or poster. Preferences for oral versus poster presentation will be considered, but the program committee will make the final determination. The deadline for late breakers is Friday, July 11, 2008. Decisions will be sent to abstract submitters in mid-August. If you have any questions, please contact Section Program Planner Aaron Mendelsohn at email@example.com.
Dear APHA Epidemiology Section members,
If you have not voted or re-voted for Epi Section leaders, please do so ASAP. Please cast your ballot by Thursday, July 3 by 11:59 p.m. EDT -- the extended deadline.
More background: Because not all candidates for APHA Epidemiology Section leadership were listed on the APHA Election Web site when the election began, corrections were made to the Web site and the deadline extended for our section.
On May 27, the APHA Elections contractors sent a second e-mail notice to members asking ALL members to vote or re-vote. You may find this e-mail dated May 27, 2008 in your e-mail in boxes from this source: "Election Services Corporation for APHA".
You will need this e-mail, which will contain the correct Weblink and your unique login information before you can cast your votes.
If you need assistance, please call (866) 720-4357 to speak with an Election Services Co. customer service representative. In case you need additional assistance, you may contact Fran Atkinson from APHA at: (202) 777-2483 email@example.com.
Those of you who voted before May 27 were asked to re-vote because the ballots you used were incomplete. Thank you.
Chair, APHA Epidemiology Section
Most people don't realize the impact that public health has on their lives, but there are examples all around you. There are factors that determine your health that you can control, and there are factors that you cannot. It's public health that fights both of those battles. Public health isn't something that matters to someone else – public health is your health.
The "This Is Public Health" campaign is a way for public health students to demonstrate all the ways in which public health improves our lives.
Take a look: http://www.thisispublichealth.org
We are seeking nominations for the APHA Epidemiology Section Public Health Practice Award. There are two awards: One for an individual who is within 10 years of his or her terminal degree, and one for an organization. To nominate a person or organization, one needs to complete the attached form, and return it to email@example.com by July 20, 2008, 5:00 pm.
This is an important award that gives the Epidemiology Section a chance to recognize important accomplishments of a person or program with respect to the practice of public health grounded in epidemiologic tradition and soundness. We strongly encourage you to think about your colleagues and their work, and nominate those whom you feel are appropriate for this award.
Following is an overview of the Public Health Practice Award:
"The Public Health Practice Award has been designed by the Epidemiology Section in order to recognize the use of epidemiologic methods in an innovative and creative public health program or project.
The award committee will consider both individuals and/or organizations for the award. An individual investigator must be within 10 years of their terminal degree. An organization may have been in existence for any amount of time. Examples of projects that may merit such an award include the improvement of disease surveillance, creative pre- and post-intervention assessments, innovative ways of improving study participation, and/or communication of epidemiologic measures to the participating community.
Projects may also be national in scope, but all projects must demonstrate measurable relevance to improving public health. Awardees will receive a nominal monetary award and an engraved clock.
Our winner of the 2007 Epidemiology Section Public Health Practice Award was the Bureau of Tobacco Control at the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Beginning in 2003, the Bureau distributed free nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches and provided follow-up counseling to increase rates of smoking cessation. Evaluation results from the first year demonstrated that 87 percednt of those who received NRT attempted to stop smoking after requesting the patch, and about one-third (33 percent) of those reached six months after the giveaway had quit smoking. The project utilized epidemiologic and other outcome measures which allowed them to target efforts to specific populations."
Please feel free to contact Kristopher Fennie by telephone at (203) 785-2057 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions or concerns.
Welcome, students! The Epidemiology Section would like to extend a special welcome to students interested in epidemiology!
We are excited to serve as your student representatives to the Epidemiology Section this year. By communicating and advocating for student interests and concerns, we hope to integrate student input and innovation in the development and expansion of the Epidemiology Section. Here's is a brief summary about each of your new student representatives as well information about how you can get involved in the Section.
Hello, my name is Xiaoxing (Stella) He, a Section liaison to the APHA Student Assembly. I am really passionate about research and teaching in the area of obesity, cancer control, aging, chronic illness prevention, or health promotion, particularly among women, minorities, and under-served populations. Currently, I am actively involved in worldwide epidemiology studies on cancer and chronic diseases to evaluate the state of treatment and health outcomes. Please feel free to contact me so that we can begin to network and share ideas. My e-mail addresses are: firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi, my name is Lisa Oakley. I am getting my MPH in international public health at Oregon State University. I am really excited to have the opportunity to volunteer as a student liaison to the Epidemiology Section. My research has focused mostly sexual health, HIV/AIDS, and STIs in Latinos and older adults. However, I have also been involved in a research project using pet dogs as sentinels for respiratory health as related to air pollution. My perspective to the Epidemiology Section is unique in that I am not focusing my graduate training in epidemiology. Rather, I recognize the value of the information used by this field in all aspects of public health and the importance for students of any track to build epidemiological skills. I am really interested in highlighting the success of students in epidemiology and plan to soon begin a "student snapshot" in the newsletter to highlight student achievements. If you or a fellow student has made a contribution to the field (on any scale) or if you have any questions about the section, please feel free to send me an e-mail at email@example.com.
Hello, my name is Heidi Mortensen. I am currently working toward an MPH via the online program at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I am very thankful to have the opportunity to volunteer as a student liaisonfor the Epidemiology Section. I am especially looking forward to volunteering with Governing Council work on policy reviews and in the planning of Epi Section activities such as the social event at this year's APHA Annual Meeting. email@example.com
I'm Hannah Yang, a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at Johns Hopkins. I received my ScM in epidemiology from Hopkins in 2003, before I participated in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Emerging Leader Program. For my dissertation, I am working on hormones and endometrial cancer, but I am interested in various topics such as women's health, health care policy, and community health issues. I'd like to promote initiatives that improve student activities within our Section and epidemiology student voices within APHA. I look forward to hearing your ideas and suggestions and working with you to promote student involvement in the Section! Please free to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
One of our current goals is to create a system of regular communication and response between students in the Epidemiology Section and the Epidemiology Section as well as routine communication between Epidemiology Section students and students in other APHA sections.
How you can get involved:
· Communicate with your Epidemiology student representatives. Please e-mail us with any questions about the Section or APHA, suggestions for student activities within our Section, and issues you believe need to be addressed within the Section or the Student Assembly.
· Contribute to the Epidemiology Section's newsletter. Please e-mail us if you have an article idea for the Student Corner.
· Volunteer for Section activities. Students are more than welcome to respond to announcements that are sent through the listserv seeking volunteers; these announcements are NOT just reserved for senior level members.
· Serve as a student shadow to our Governing Councilors. Please see the article in this issue of the Epi Newsletter for details.
· Attend the Epidemiology Section related events at the APHA 2008 Annual Meeting in San Diego:
- Section business meetings. You maybe introduced to a new mentor and receive great ideas and insights from senior epidemiologists.
- Combined Student Awards Ceremony and Career Session on Tuesday, Oct. 28, from 10:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m. We are hoping that students and our professional colleagues will continue discussions by networking and celebrating with Section leadership at the Section Social Tuesday evening (more details coming).
- Section Social. A primary purpose of the Section Social is for students to meet and speak with senior epidemiologists in an informal setting. It also serves as a great networking opportunity with your mentor.
We encourage the participation of all students in APHA's Epidemiology Section and ask that you check out the Epidemiology Section Web site at http://www.apha.org/extranet/epi/default.htm. The Epidemiology Section is great opportunity to enhance your educational and professional experiences by exploring the various concentrations in epidemiology, extending your involvement in the APHA-Student Assembly, and meeting and working with epidemiologists in the field of public health.
Welcome, and please feel free to contact any of us!

Do you want to see public health and epidemiology in action? Do you want to participate in the translation of epidemiology to public health policy? Do you want to learn more about APHA governance? Do you want to get involved with the APHA Epidemiology Section? If so, participation in the APHA Epidemiology Section's Student "Shadow" program may be for you.
Students selected to participate will "shadow" an Epidemiology Section Governing Council member at the 2008 Council and Epidemiology Section business meetings during the APHA Annual Meeting in San Diego. The Epidemiology Section will cover registration costs for the meeting.
Saturday, October 25th, 3:00-6:00 (election candidates' forum)Sunday, October 26th, 3:30-6:00 (policy hearings)Tuesday, October 28th, 9:00-5:00 (policy debate and elections)
What is the APHA Governing Council?
The Governing Council (GC) is a "Congress-like" body composed of elected, volunteer members from APHA Sections, SPIGS and affiliate public health organizations that meets once a year at the APHA Annual Meeting. The GC debates and enacts policy resolutions that guide the development of APHA policy activities during the year, and elects APHA Executive Board members and other volunteer leaders of the organization including the APHA President. During the year, the Executive Board provides more direct oversight of the work of the Executive Director and other APHA staff.
What is it like to be a Governing Council Member?
James A. Gaudino, MD, MS, MPH, summed up his feelings this way, "As a former Governing Council member from the Epidemiology Section (and now Section Chair), a physician and a scientist, I saw my and my fellow councilors' responsibility to make sure that final APHA policies are based on the best scientific evidence available and are ethically sound." Sarah L. Patrick, MPH, PhD, former Chair for the Epidemiology Section said that, "serving on the Governing Council is a tremendous learning opportunity, plus you can insert epidemiologic evidence into the policies of the organization."

Sue, If a stack of newspaper/magazine articles (many obtainable on the internet) and police briefs chronicling the unhappy outcome of similar trysts doesn't change her mind, I don't know what else, short of divine intervention, might. So, assuming you've already tried the former, I'm joining with you and the rest here who are praying for "whatever it takes."
I'm very sorry to hear it, Sue. I'll pray. Anyone who has suggestions for Sue, feel free to share them.
I realize this is probably not the right forum for this, so don't post this if you don't want to, but please, please pray for my niece. She is 19 and is flying to New York at the invitation of a 44 yr old man she gamed with on the Internet. He is paying for her ticket, expecting her to stay with him and it's just such a classic set up I can't believe she can't see it. She doesn't think anyone would want an obese girl like her, she just doesn't get it. How do I stop her? Please pray.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - A Wisconsin Assembly committee has scheduled a vote for Thursday on a bill to restore mandatory prison sentences for the state's most chronic drunk drivers.
The judiciary panel will take up a bill from Mequon Republican Jim Ott. He wants to nullify a recent appeals court ruling which gave judges the option of sending repeat OWI offenders to prison.
The bill would require judges to impose minimum prison terms of 3 years for a drunk driver's 7th, 8th, and 9th convictions – and a minimum of four years for 10 convictions or more.
The bill also includes a mandatory 30 day jail sentence for drivers who cause injuries with a blood-alcohol content of 0.04 to 0.08.

Scallop Imaging's Cameras
Scallop Imaging's D7-180 seven megapixel digital camera distributes the imaging task across multiple, small, image sensors, processing over 100 megapixels per second to calibrate, synchronize and merge video in real time. The result is two simultaneous video streams: one 720p HD stream divided into a true 180 degree, non-fisheye, situational awareness window at 15 frames per second, plus up to four instantly repositionable zoom windows at full scene megapixel resolution at 15 fps; and full resolution capture of all seven megapixels at one fps.
Scallop Imaging's D7-180-XR Compared to the D7 180, the D7 180 XR has faster lenses and image sensors with 170% larger pixel area which results in improved dynamic range and better performance in low light conditions.
Our A7-180 camera brings the power of the IP D7-180's seven megapixel resolution to the analog world, as a simple, plug and play replacement for legacy CCTV cameras.
The new Scallop Imaging M6-200 video surveillance camera is the first distributed image panoramic camera specifically designed to provide outstanding image quality under very low light conditions.

Don't get taken by latest secure credit card scam
If you're applying for a secure credit card, chances are you really can't afford to be scammed. Learn how to spot the signs and avoid becoming a victim.
The Federal government is warning consumers about a secured credit card scam run by a sham bank called AmTrade International Bank. Banking regulators released an alert warning that AmTrade,
...is involved in a scheme that involves soliciting consumers for semi-secured credit cards through the U.S. mail. Potential victims receive solicitations and program agreements, which may mention that Credit One Bank, N.A., is connected with the card agreement. Credit One Bank, N.A., has no connection to this entity.The fraudsters target consumers with poor credit and offer semi-secured credit cards as a way of repairing their credit. The offers arrive via mail and look like many other such secured credit card solicitations. AmTrade's letter asks victims to send cash deposits of $500 or $900 to secure credit limits of $1,500 or $3,600, respectively. The checks are deposited, but the secured Visa card never arrives.
This is the second government alert for this kind of scam since July. Freedom 1st National Bank was making the same fraudulent pitch to consumers. Credit One Bank was also referred to in Freedom 1st's offers. The scammers may seek to alleviate suspicion by including the name of a legitimate bank in the fine print.
Secured credit cards can be a good first step toward repairing poor credit while also offering the credit challenged the convenience and security of a credit card. Scam artists know that people with poor credit do not have many options and are more likely to accept a credit offer, even if it looks suspicious.
Protect yourself from fraud
If you suspect you have received a solicitation for a fraudulent secured credit card (or any credit product), protect yourself by understanding the offer and learning more about the company behind it.
- Do not agree to pay a third party a fee to help you find a secured credit card. This is another common scam.
- Many banks do charge modest fees for the use of their cards. Scam operators charge exorbitant fees that consume much of the secured credit.
- Read the offer carefully. Often the scamsters don't bother to correct typos or misspellings.
- Call any customer service 800 numbers noted in the letter. Scam operations are unlikely to staff customer service departments.
- Search for the company online. If anybody else has been defrauded, or if the government has already issued an alert, you'll soon find out.

Latest social media app: ID theft
Antivirus software companies predict a breakthrough year for hacker attacks via social-networking sites.
This post comes from Jabulani Leffall at partner blog Wise Bread.
In the last few months you've probably been bombarded with things to watch for in 2010: ways to save, what the best vacation destinations are, who's hot and who's not -- you know, important stuff.
You may wish to share some of this stuff via a social-networking site: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace -- you know, the important sites.
These sites are actually important because millions of people use them. And millions, such as yourself, will be vulnerable to scams, trickery and tomfoolery that will at best lead to some embarrassing hijacking of your page or computer and, at worse, help a hacker dial down into what in the data-protection world is called PII or personally identifiable information. We've covered a little bit of that at this blog but never enough.
Allow me to pose this question: Would you walk into a dark alley that says "Check out this really cool video of you and your friends"? Would you trust a Bobby D.-like character who says, "I got some nice dresses for ya, right around the corner if you walk into that alley"? Would you walk into that alley with your ID in hand, brandished for all to see?
Of course not. You are, after all, kind of sane. I mean you're reading this, aren't you?
Yet many people want to check out those cool videos and see which designer dresses Bobby Digital has for them every time they log on. Sure they'd skipped the real dark alley, but only to do the same exact thing digitally on Facebook, et al., every single day.
This is why antivirus software firms McAfee (.pdf file) and Symantec (.pdf file) see 2010 as a breakthrough year for social media sites -- a breakthrough in terms of them being attacked by hackers.
What's alarming, if not brow-raising, is that most of the hacks on your favorite social portals for posting, partying, pandering, pithiness, and persiflage will take place because you or someone you know walked into that dark digital alley in search of fun, just curious and also just plain careless.
"Mostly it's the users in an individual or small-business environment through carelessness," said David Bloom, a Los Angeles-based consultant specializing in social media. "Like Pogo said, 'We have met the enemy, and it is us.'"
Indeed, most hacker intrusions count on curious users they can snare by simply having the users click on Web links or log in via fake Web pages that look like the home pages of the most popular social media destinations.
Spoofing, for instance, involves hackers sending you phony alerts or messages supposedly from your friends, or in the case of Twitter, followers. Once you click on them there's the possibility of being rerouted to malicious sites or triggering automated viruses or remote code execution, which gives a hacker control of your browsing session.
Phishing, meanwhile, also counts on user participation but usually employs more familiar subject matter as bait. Users might get an "emergency" message, or a "video of you" from a friend. Another method is a fake error message from your social-networking site requiring your action.
With phishing, users are most often lured into clicking on a spoofed link or page such as a fake Web page that looks like the home page of a trusted Web site -- i.e., Facebook -- where users unwittingly type in login information or click on page links.
By extension, links are becoming an important component of social-networking security. Recently the heavy use of condensed URLs or Web addresses (tinyurl and bit.ly) to post links on Twitter and Facebook has made it easier to access or cut and paste into a Web browser. On the flip side, the URL shorteners can also make it nearly impossible to identify the domain of origin. This increases chances of clicking on a spoofed or malicious link. Also, URL shorteners can help spammers evade spam filters installed on personal computers.
"Whether it's tinyurl or bit.ly technology, users are getting into the habit of clicking links that they don't know or trust," says Corey Thomas, vice president of product and operations for IT security firm Rapid7. "This makes it much easier for a hacker to hijack the target's system. The most important thing in a situation like this is letting users know the potential risks of tiny URLs and that they should not be clicked on unless absolutely necessary."
Someone can easily tweet this blog and shorten the URL from Wise Bread to something that looks like an algebra equation and, bam, you now have "nice dresses."
So, remember that as you give status updates on where you are and what size shoes you're wearing while sitting there, people, perhaps even the wrong people, will be watching and waiting.

July 04, 2013, 1:44 PM — Nokia is expected to launch a follow-up to its 41-megapixel 808 PureView running Windows Phone a week from now, a move that will give the struggling phone vendor a much needed boost, according to one analyst.
The smartphone, now rumored to be named the Lumia 1020, has been a long time coming. It has been expected since February last year, when Nokia introduced the 808, a smartphone running its now-abandoned Symbian OS. But it now looks highly likely that a Windows Phone device with a similarly high-resolution image sensor will finally see the light of day at a Nokia event in New York on July 11: The invitation said "there are 41 million reasons to attend" or follow the event.
The yet-to-be-launched smartphone has until recently been referred to as the EOS, but calling it the Lumia 1020 would follow Nokia's naming conventions, which gives higher numbers to more advanced phones. The last two digits would mimic the name of other new members of the Lumia product line, including the recent Lumia 820, 720, 620 and 520.
In addition to a 41-megapixel sensor, the smartphone is expected to have 4.5-inch screen with a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution; a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and 32GB of integrated storage.
With specifications like that, the camera is of course the most important part. Since the launch of the 808 PureView, Nokia has had time to adapt the underlying technology for Windows Phone, and to add functions such as optical image stabilization. That is already a key feature of Nokia's current high-end Lumia devices, which makes it a likely addition and should, in combination with the sensor, result in hitherto unseen image quality for a smartphone according to Malik Saadi, analyst with market research company Informa Telecoms & Media.
Another rumored camera feature is the ability to take a full resolution image and a 5-megapixel image at the same time, allowing users to save one in optimum quality and use the other one for online sharing.
The device comes at an important time for Nokia, which bet its future on abandoning Symbian for its smartphones and switching to Windows Phone. The company sold just 5.6 million Windows phones during the first quarter of the year, a step in the right direction, but not enough according to analysts. The Lumia 1020 needs to sell better than its predecessors for Nokia's future to be secured.
"I think it will have a significant impact on Lumia sales if it is priced right, simply because the audience that wants a two-in-one device with a good smartphone and a good camera is quite big," Saadi said.
However, having a good product isn't enough in today's cutthroat smartphone market: Successful marketing and help from operators also play an important role -- and it looks as though Nokia will get more help from mobile carriers, according to Roberta Cozza , research director at Gartner.

UPDATED PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SPOKANE POLICE DEPT: On Wednesday night Spokane Police Detectives pinpointed a downtown address where wanted murder suspect Louis L. Hanson was believed to be hiding out.
When detectives attempted to search the apartment looking for Hanson, a female resident, Amanda M. Tudesque (08/14/1990) physically interfered, trying to prevent the arrest.
Hanson was located in the apartment and arrested for 2nd Degree Murder. Tudesque was also arrested for rendering Criminal Assistance in the 1st Degree. Hanson was wanted for the allegedly shooting and killing Aaron Cummings on December 30th in North Central Spokane.
On Wednesday, January 2nd at 10:15pm Spokane Police Detectives followed up on a lead indicating wanted murder suspect Louis Hanson had been seen at an address in the 1900 block of W. 2nd Ave.
Detectives spoke with residents of the building which was composed of several apartments and came in contact with resident Amanda Tudesque. When asked if she recognized a photograph of the suspect, Louis Hanson, she said that she did recognize him but that he was not present at the apartment.
After talking with several other residents, detectives determined that Hanson was presently in the building, in the apartment of Tudesque.
Tudesque told officers that there was no one in her apartment but her children and she began aggressively trying to prevent officers from entering her apartment, at one point shoving an officer as she was explaining the danger Hanson could pose to Tudesque' s children.
A short time later Hanson came out of the apartment but refused to comply with detective commands. He was restrained and arrested on his outstanding warrant for 2nd Degree Murder.
Amanda Tudesque was charged with 1st Degree Rendering of Criminal Assistance for harboring and concealing Louis Hanson and attempting to obstruct his arrest by force and deception.
UPDATE: On Wednesday Spokane police detectives arrested Louis Hanson for 2nd degree Murder. He was found hiding in an apartment at 1923 W 2nd Ave. A female, Amanda Tudesque, 22, was arrested for rendering criminal assistance. Hanson is expected to make his first court appearance on Thursday.
SPOKANE, Wash. - After misleading information from witnesses, Spokane Police have identified a new suspect in the December 30th shooting of Aaron Cummings. Cummings died of a gunshot wound inside a friend's home in north central Spokane. Initially witnesses lied to detectives about the identity of the suspect, indicating Salvador Rivera-Romero as the shooter. Detectives have since determined Louis L. Hanson, 9/25/83, is the suspect and is wanted for 2nd Degree Murder. Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477).
On December 30, 2012, just before 6pm, Spokane Police officers responded to a shooting at 1607 N. Wall in north central Spokane. Officers found Aaron Cummings inside the home, dead from a gunshot wound. Witnesses deliberately lied to officers and detectives, intentionally misleading the investigation. Officers disseminated information that Salvador Rivera-Romero was wanted in connection with the shooting.
Major Crimes Detectives continued their investigation, despite the lack of witness cooperation, and have since determined Louis L. Hanson shot and killed Cummings inside the home on N. Wall. Hanson has an extensive criminal history and local gang ties. Officers did not locate Rivera-Romero.
Anyone with any information about Hanson's whereabouts is asked to call Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (8477). Please see attached photo of Hanson.

Lee County is one of the places the federal government has been watching since the Voting Rights Act became law in 1965 because of discrimination against black voters.
Split along ideological and partisan lines, the Supreme Court justices voted 5-4 Tuesday to strip the government of its most potent tool to stop voting bias -- the requirement in the Voting Rights Act that all or parts of 15 states with a history of discrimination in voting, mainly in the South, get Washington's approval before changing the way they hold elections.
Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a majority of conservative, Republican-appointed justices, said the law's provision that determines which states are covered is unconstitutional because it relies on 40-year-old data and does not account for racial progress and other changes in U.S. society.
The decision effectively puts an end to the advance approval requirement that has been used to open up polling places to minority voters in the nearly half century since it was first enacted in 1965, unless Congress can come up with a new formula that Roberts said meets "current conditions" in the United States.
That seems unlikely to happen any time soon.
Growing up in Lee County, barber Roshan Robles says he's experienced "a lot of Jim Crow ... discrimination and racism." He says that though things have progressed, he worries about changes to the Voter Act of 1965.
"You have to keep up what we paved the road for or it will turn back," Robles explained.
On the other hand, Odell Johnson, 58, says he has watched Lee County change and doesn't believes voter discrimination will happen in the county.
"Today you couldn't get away with the things they did in the '60s. I just don't see it," Odell said. "I would hope Lee County would make every effort to make sure every citizen has the right to vote."
Today, Lee County's director of elections, Nancy Kimball, was working on a presentation for the Department of Justice to modify the county's one-stop voting plan, as required by the voter rights act. She told WNCN she is unsure how to changes to the act with play out.
"They have decided congress will go back and determine if an area has to submit to the Department of Justice," Kimball pointed out. "I think it'll be a long process; until that point in time, we will still submit [changes to the Department of Justice]."
