Can Social Head Off Denial of Service Attacks?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure—maybe even more in the case of damaging Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on your website. Sophisticated new functionality in NetBase can alert you to an impending attack, enabling you to take measures that can mitigate or avert the attack altogether. Catching a DDoS Early According to the Symantec website, "a denial-of-service (DoS) or Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack involves an attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a website or web service. In a typical DoS attack, the attacker will overload a site's server with requests for access [...] Read more →
Can Better Habits Produce Better Content Marketing?
As someone responsible for lead gen who uses content marketing a lot, I'm looking forward to Nate Riggs's Social Savvy webinar this Wednesday, July 16. There's a lot of content about social media analytics out there on the web, and it's getting harder and harder to come up with topics that interest readers and motivate them to download a file or sign up for a demo or take whatever next step you want them to take. Frankly, I could use some new thinking on this subject. Well, that's apparently just what Nate, who's president of NR Media Group, is going [...] Read more →
How Marriott Can Use Social to Bring in More Guests

NetBase's Birth – Can We Build an Innovation Engine?
With the birth of the United States and our July 4th celebration upon us, it makes me think about when NetBase was 1st founded. In fact, NetBase celebrated its tenth anniversary in June. Here's our founding story and why we came to exist. Understanding Innovation I was a young engineer working at Ariba in 2002, and had spent a year working on an innovative new product. But one day I got word that the project had been cancelled and all the work that my colleagues and I had done was thrown out. It was devastating—all my professional work up to [...] Read more →
Should Social Media Analysis Replace Traditional Marketing Research?
Are we there yet? Has social analysis matured to the point where organizations can stop using surveys, focus groups and interviews and instead rely completely on social insights for marketing research? Or do traditional research methods still have an important role to play, maybe in combination with social analytics? Switching to Social Analysis Before the advent of social networks and social media analytics, companies used qualitative and quantitative techniques such as focus groups, surveys, interviews and ethnographies to do market research. (They still do, of course.) While effective in providing insight into consumer attitudes and behaviors, they're also expensive, time-consuming [...] Read more →

Can Social Rescue "Declining Business Dynamism"?
Fewer entrepreneurs are starting fewer new businesses. Can social ride to the rescue? The graphic above is from a new report by the Brookings Institution, "Declining Business Dynamism in the United States: A Look at States and Metros." It charts the entry and exit rates for new business in the U.S. between 1978 and 2011. What it shows is that the U.S. economy has become less entrepreneurial over time. According to the report, "… recent research shows that dynamism is slowing down. Business churning and new firm formations have been on a persistent decline during the last few decades, and [...] Read more →
Social Media Insights – Interview with Eric Enge
A current ad campaign for a financial services firm uses the tagline "Never mistake information for insight." OK, but how do you avoid doing that? And what's the difference between the two anyway? To find out, we asked an expert. Defining Types of Social Media Insights First, just to be sure we're talking about the same thing when we talk about insight, let's agree to use the definition from Wiktionary: "Knowledge (usually derived from consumer understanding) that a company applies in order to make a product or brand perform better and be more appealing to customers." Our own work at [...] Read more →

Get Immediate Feedback When Testing New Menu Items
"From my 40 years of following restaurant operations, the single most important factor to ensuring restaurant survival is testing new products." — John Gordon, founder, Pacific Management Consulting Group Restaurant consumers crave a perpetual stream of new products and new twists on old ones. But if you're a multi-unit restaurant operator, adding a new menu item can be costly and risky. That's why it's standard practice to test the new item in a few markets before making the decision on whether or not to offer it everywhere. That approach enables you to find out quickly if the item isn't popular [...] Read more →

Alan Wong's New Wave Luau is a glamorous book full of color photos that convey the complexity of his lush and exciting cooking. It is also alive with Chef Wong's passion for his Asian heritage and that of the Hawaiian Islands, where his restaurant has three times been selected Best Restaurant of the Year by Honolulu magazine.
Chosen Best Regional Chef for the Pacific Northwest in 1996 by the James Beard Foundation, Wong is a master of multicultural cooking. Called Hawaiian Regional Cuisine, his dishes fuse local ingredients and traditions with foods and techniques from Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Taking the succulent meat from whole Kalua Pig, pit-roasted luau style, he uses it in a risotto dotted with corn and crunchy water chestnuts, then enriched with truffle butter. He also features this smoky pork in nachos built on crunchy taro chips, topped with chile-spiked guacamole.
As you feast on the photos, it is almost possible to taste the artistic creations depicted, each one dense with contrasting flavors and textures... Dana Jacobi

Seccubus effectively reduces the analysis time for subsequent scans of the same infrastructure by only reporting delta findings.
Anyone who has ever used Nessus or OpenVAS will be familiar with one of their biggest drawbacks. They a very valuable tools, but unfortunately it is also very noisy. The time needed to report on the findings of a scan will often be two or three times the time needed to do the actual scan. Seccubus was created in order to more effectively analyze the results of regular vulnerability scans of the same infrastructure.
How does it work?
Seccubus runs vulnerability scans at regular intervals and compares the findings of the last scan with the findings of the previous scan. The delta of this scan is presented in a web GUI when findings can be easily marked as either real findings or non-issues. Non issues get ignored until they change. This causes a dramatically reduction a analysis time.
Today I release Seccubus version 2.10 which I have dubbed 'The Miami Vice' edition because I'm currently visiting the Akamai Edge conference in Miami, FL.
This release has some new features and bug fixes, and you can download it here.
10-10-2014 – 2.10 – Miami vice edition
* Password fields are used to store passwords and hide them in de GUI (#127)
* Limited support for OpenVAS6 and OpenVAS7 thanks to @FGuillaume
* Python script by @Ar0Xa to email findings from a scan
* Fixed some bugs
Bug Fixes
* #96 – Incorrect temp file usage Nikto scanner
* #120 – Post install chcon action gives error
* #124 – Multi file attachments
* #125 – rpm dependancy name is wrong
* #127 – Passwords can be hidden in the GUI
* #134 – SSLlabs scanner did not handle submit errors
* #135 – Host name creation not handled correctly with SSLlabs
* #136 – Workspaces are now sorted by name
* Extra cache control headers because of Chrome
We've added support for Qualys SSLlabs to Seccubus and fixed a few bugs:
18-08-2014 – 2.9 – Qualys SSLlabs integration
Seccubus can now fetch the results of www.ssllabs.com automatic scanner and monitor for deltas
Bug Fixes
* #122 – SSLlabs integration
* #120 – SELinux problem on RHEL6
* #99 – The ability to remote is not reflected in the scanner help text
* #67 – -o usage needs to be more specific for e.g. nikto and nmap scanner
* #63 – Scan table does not display scanner correctly
* #59 – Explanation of $ATTACH: in notifications is not very clear
Got to our Github page to download the binary package.

This post will describe step by step how to configure Skipfish for Seccubus.
You can grab the latest release of Skipfish here:
Before you compile the Skipfish src we need to edit 2 files so Skipfish can be used in Seccubus.
In my current setup the Seccubus files are located in /opt/seccubus and I'm going to install the Skipfish in the /opt
Edit the Skipfish config file located in the src/config.h of Skipfish and add the full path where you want use the Skipfish:
/* Default paths to runtime files: */
#define ASSETS_DIR "/opt/skipfish/assets"
#define DEF_WORDLIST "/opt/skipfish/skipfish.wl"
/* Default signature file */
#define SIG_FILE "/opt/skipfish/signatures/signatures.conf"
Now make the Skipfish installation and when it's compiled copy the skipfish dir to /opt
The last file we need to edit is the /opt/skipfish/signatures/signatures.conf and add the path prefix:
## Master signature file.
### The mime signatures warn about server responses that have an interesting
# mime. For example anything that is presented as php-source will likely
# be interesting
include /opt/skipfish/signatures/mime.sigs
# The files signature will use the content to determine if a response
# is an interesting file. For example, a SVN file.
include /opt/skipfish/signatures/files.sigs
# The messages signatures look for interesting server messages. Most
# are based on errors, such as caused by incorrect SQL queries or PHP
# execution failures.
include /opt/skipfish/signatures/messages.sigs
# The apps signatures will help to find pages and applications who's
# functionality is a security risk by default. For example, phpinfo()
# pages that leak information or CMS admin interfaces.
include /opt/skipfish/signatures/apps.sigs
# Context signatures are linked to injection tests. They look for strings
# that are relevant to the current injection test and help to highlight
# potential vulnerabilities.
include /opt/skipfish/signatures/context.sigs
Skipfish is now installed and ready to use in Seccubus.
It appears that in the last release there was a small hiccup with the severity rating and is now fixed.
This version has one new big feature, it implements the Skipfish Web-application scanner.
21-01-2014 – 2.5 – Scanner addon Skipfish
You can download the latest version from GitHub
Key new features
Added Skipfish Web-application scanner to Seccubus scanner tools

Thanks Arvind for putting the efforts to develope the tool. You may
want to take a look at AlgoSec's Automated Firewall Analyzer, I have
tried it (http://www.algosec.com/en/products/firewall_analyzer.php).
Good features, good results and cost good amount of $$$ (per
firewall) as well.

Hi Guys,
Maybe there have been times when you have pentested a firewall. As
part of a grey box engagement you were assigned the task of auditing
that HUGE firewall rulebase and were stuck on how to proceed , just
because of the sheer volume of information. I hence have created a
little tool in Perl to help in auditing a rulebase and helping you in
narrow down on the weak rules. Obviously this is a big Work In
Progress and can be better but its a start and what I've written works
- Current support is just for Cisco PIX though the framework was
designed to scale across multiple firewalls and no major changes need
to be made.
Please come back to me with feedback on how I can make this better and

After another hour two more orders arrived, leaving three adults...
Just got impression with rice soup, that's fine for my boy. You should call for reservation about 30 mins before attending here, it saves your time that not waiting so long.
The price is very good for domestic tourist also very nice Vietnamese menu
The menu were various with a range kind of Vietnamese and French food. The taste were too excellent but the material of food were extremely fresh.Maybe It was chose strictly . The staff were helpful and friendly. Also, the price were popular, weren't expensive. Specially, the space were peaceful, views were nice. I could see the beach view.
The worst Vietnamese pork springs rolls I've ever had! They were soaked in oil, soggy and overcooked. We ordered complete galette and forrester galette, both tasted awful, the most disgusting crepes we ever had.
the restaurant itself built to bring a french impression, not just a name but also the sets of french menu in its list. acceptable service and price, also taste good and original for its french menus. Bring your mosquito repellent if you come for a dinner...

The past year and a half has been one of the most memorable work experiences of my life. I have learned a great deal about TV, radio and newspaper media. We had fun along the way making video parodies, writing blogs and running social media-based contests. Now, as I pass the torch as the advertising manager at Student Media, I feel it's important to introduce the new advertising team.
Ben Tarver will be replacing me as the student ad manager. He has a great background in sales and a natural ability to diffuse disagreements among others. I feel confident that Ben will lead this team to new heights. An avid soccer fan and former player, he knows how to build excitement. Also, after spending years in South America, he is a great addition for customers who need a bilingual contact.
Erica Barkley is also new to the team. She brings a wealth of experience in media ad sales. As a veteran of Westword and other publications, she understands the importance of building relationships with clients. She is eager to build up the clientele for our office and has quickly established herself as a creative thinker by integrating approaches to existing and potential customers.
Colby Allen is a sports marketing major who has years of sales experience working for Nike. He is a huge sports fan. It even pours over into his extracurricular activities, including coaching middle school- and elementary school-aged children.
This is a cohesive unit with a great deal of fresh ideas that will benefit current and prospective advertisers. I'm confident that they will continue to build the MSU Denver Student Media brand and open new marketing opportunities for local businesses.
As I move on to new professional opportunities, I wanted to send my thanks to all the great people who've been such fantastic clients and friends. Your interest in Student Media is as much about moral support as it is financial. It's our goal to give you high value by producing consistently high-quality media products. Thank you for being our partners.

photo © 2008 mike | more info (via: Wylio) In the tech industry saying that something is dead actually means "It's on the decline." And yes, the phone call is on an inexorable decline.
My original title for this post was "The Phone Call Will Be Dead In __ Years" but since consumer inertia is somehow still keeping our parent company Aol in the dialup business, I thought it might be prudent not to include an ETA on the death of the call.
Less obsolete but more annoying than a handwritten letter, the phone call is fading as a mode of communication even if the nostalgic will be singing its praises for awhile. We reached a breaking point in 2008 when text messaging topped mobile phone calling in usage, and we've been living in a world dominated by text based communication ever since (Thanks Twitter).
If old media has taught us anything, it's that it takes most industries at least a generation to be completely disrupted, especially something as powerful as Big Telco.
But we are definitely on our way there. According to Nielsen data, voice usage has been dropping in every age group except for those past the of age of 54. Text is just easier.
"Now, 78 percent of teens recognize the functionality and convenience of SMS, considering it easier (22 percent) and faster (20 percent) than voice calls (though still fun). Voice activity has decreased 14 percent among teens, who average 646 minutes talking on the phone per month."
Interest in voice calling is now sharply differentiated by age, and few technological advancements have ever survived while failing to capture the interest of 22 year olds.
Mike likes to rub it in MG's face that the iPhone can't actually make calls due to terrible AT&T reception, but the truth is that we iPhone users (and to greater extent smartphone users in general) are not primarily using our phones to make calls. We may carry around things we call "phones" but to us they're just pocket-sized computers.
MG's response to Mike, "It doesn't need to. I use the phone mostly for apps and browsing, not calls." On background: MG is in his 20s and Mike is in his 40s. As if we needed more proof, MobileCrunch editor Greg Kumparak's AT&T phone bill is indicative of the voice habits of an entire generation.
Sorry Telcom industry, we are increasingly provided with reasons to not use your voice services. While still not exactly mainstream, we now have access to a plethora of free, internet-based calling options like Google Voice. When I'm interviewing startups and ask to "get on a call" they usually direct me to their Skype usernames.
When I do cold call someone for information (and am more often than not directed to an automated message) companies send back their responses via email. And I have countless times declared a fatwa on PR people who think it's cool to cold call me, especially before 9 am.
It's not just job related calls that are annoying. The other day somebody from my bank called me to talk about my 401K. Fair enough. The problem is I wasn't exactly expecting the call as I only get 3 or 4 a week now. And I picked up right as I was trying to write a post breaking news (One thing a phone call does signify is EMERGENCY). I ended up mumbling something rude and hanging up on the person. I still don't even know what a 401K is even though I'm sure I'll eventually get around to Googling it.
The saddest thing is that since I became a millionaire in the TC/Aol sale (not) it really is about time I started to do stuff with my money other then pray that I'll still have a paycheck tomorrow. That phone call might have actually provided me with useful information had its unabashed interruption not been so abhorrent.
Ideally, here's how that interaction should have gone down: Chase Bank should have sent me an EMAIL about the fact that they noticed I had more money in my account, with a link directing me to my 401K option plan. There I could decide BY READING and not listening to some customer service rep's scripted drivel on what plan was right for me. Now, as it stands, I've got a random phone number in my Stickies that I will never call back. I won't give a second thought to my 401K until I'm up late at night surfing the Internet and find out it's like important five years from now.
What's maybe sadder than the 401K episode is what this phone call generational schism means for people who are older than you. Much like Mike thinks his mom is silly for using chain emails to get in touch, I dread the inevitable Sunday phone calls from relatives that I have to return lest they think I'm dead. I wish they would just @reply me on Twitter or something. Instead I've now got 18+ voicemails I have no desire to deal with.
Maybe I should start making people write me handwritten letters?

Who Is Derailing Egypt's Transition to Democracy?
Many Egyptian liberals rejoiced at Tuesday's news that three of the most polarizing — and popular — presidential candidates, including those representing the Muslim Brotherhood and the ultra-conservative Salafists, would not be allowed to compete. The final ruling from the Supreme Presidential Elections Commission followed a lower court decision a week earlier that disbanded the lopsided and widely detested constitutional convention, which had been forced through by the Muslim Brotherhood and its Salafi allies.
On the surface, the decisions about the presidential race and the constitutional convention both thwart some serious electoral shenanigans by the Muslim Brotherhood and others, but this is hardly progress for liberalism in Egypt. Unfortunately for Egypt's prospects, both rulings came from opaque administrative bodies with questionable authority and motives. In the case of the presidential commission, there is no avenue for appeal. And in the potentially more important matter of the constitution, a decidedly political question was buried in a layer of obfuscating legalese.
No one in Egypt can explain the rules governing the two most important hinge points in Egypt's pivot away from authoritarianism: the selection of the president and the drafting of the constitution.

A grant from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources could help Sycamore Township finance the renovation of the shelters in Bechtold Park.
- Parks and Recreation Director Mike McKeown and Township Administrator Bruce Raabe are working on an application for a $56,000 grant with Nature Works from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Raabe said the Ohio Department of Natural Resources is allotting $136,000 for projects in Hamilton County. The grants are awarded based on a scoring system.
Board of Trustees President Tom Weidman said some of the shelters at Bechtold Park, including shelter three, should be patched up because of the poor condition even before the township hears about the grant.
Raabe said the submission deadline is Feb. 1. He said that township officials would hear back within 60 to 90 days after the submission date.

The most emotional moment of the Milwaukee Brewers' 2013 season was when outfielder and franchise icon Ryan Braun was suspended for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy in August, leading to an array of mixed reactions from Brewers' fans everywhere.
Like him or hate him, he is a major piece of the Brewers' plans moving forward, and that couldn't be more clear.
Last season, Braun appeared in only 61 games, hitting .298 with nine home runs and 38 RBIs. The incident, which shattered any resemblance of trust I personally had in the man, will linger on for years, but nonetheless, it's time to move on. The real question, though, is whether or not his production will be anywhere near where it was during the first portion of his career.
In 2012, the year after he beat out Matt Kemp of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the National League MVP, Braun finished second in the voting, hitting .319 with 41 home runs and 112 RBIs. That's a promising sign, but the ever-elusive question centers around the unknown impact the PEDs had on his play.
With Braun under team control through 2020 with a mutual option for 2021, the Brewers' PR team will have their hands full next season. However, a bounce back campaign from the outfielder would go a long way in remedying his wrongs.
Joining Braun in the Milwaukee lineup will be young shortstop Jean Segura, who is expected to play an even bigger role for the club in 2014, and center fielder Carlos Gomez, who became the team's offensive star in Braun's absence last season.
A healthy, productive Braun coupled with Gomez will form a powerful 3-4 punch in the Milwaukee lineup that could be hard to top for other National League Central clubs. Gomez swiped 40 bases, adding 24 home runs and 73 RBIs this season, which helped Milwaukee make a strong second half run.
The one-two punch of Yovani Gallardo and Kyle Lohse underperformed in 2013, but if Gallardo can bounce back from a 12-10 record and a 4.18 earned run average next season, that will go a long way in remedying the team's pitching struggles. Adding one more arm, something along the likes of Scott Feldman, will add much-needed depth.
Even if Braun is healthy and productive and Gomez continues to develop, this team is still not ready to take on the likes of St. Louis and Pittsburgh in the division. They could make a run at third, but not much more than that. They need a stronger rotation and there's a strong chance team chemistry could be an issue in wake of the Braun fallout from 2013.

AMERICA/BOLIVIA - Prevention to fight against the new phenomenon of 'micro-trafficking' of drugs
La Paz (Agenzia Fides) - According to the latest estimates, in Bolivia there is the lowest rate of drug use, a little over 3% of the population makes use of drugs. However, the situation is far from positive, particularly for street children, easy victims of 'micro traffickers'. In the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, there are nearly 1,000 children who live in this situation. They run away from their families because of the ill-treatment they suffer and they seek refuge in drugs to forget.
They stop at traffic lights in the city to beg in order to survive. Many would like to return home but are afraid of being beaten by their parents. Fear increases during the night on the streets because of police harassment and the possibility of being robbed of what little they have managed to scrape together. At first, drugs seem to be a haven for all their problems. And, while drug dealers get richer, the victims are condemned to live as refugees in precarious places, under bridges. In addition, the marginalized and the victims of poverty are found to consume cheaper and more deadly drugs. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 04/08/2014)

[The veteran game developer and Interplay founder explains how game designers need to have business sense along with design sense, the risk in bringing a fantasy-themed, new IP like Hunted: The Demon's Forge to market, and why a reliance on focus groups fails the industry.]
Industry veteran Brian Fargo has been in games for around 30 years, and he says that a combination of game design sense and business savvy has been able to keep him going amid the rapidly-evolving video game landscape.
Fargo is the founder of Interplay, established in 1983, where he worked on games including The Bard's Tale and Wasteland. While at Interplay, he also led the company in the publishing of memorable games like Black Isle's Fallout and Fallout 2, and BioWare's Baldur's Gate.
In 2002, Fargo went on to found a new studio, InXile Entertainment, which largely broke away from classic PC role-playing games and has focused on publishing more mass market titles like Line Rider and Fantastic Contraption.
Currently, InXile is at work on the fantasy action game Hunted: The Demon's Forge, a title that unabashedly embraces fantasy elements like swords, spells and demons, published by Bethesda Softworks and due in spring this year.
In this wide-ranging interview, Fargo explains how game designers need to have business sense along with design sense, the risk in bringing a fantasy-themed, new IP like Hunted to the retail market, and why a reliance on focus groups in the games industry fails to recognize "the randomness of the entertainment business."
You're kind of an interesting figure. You're from this old school class of game veterans.
Brian Fargo: You know, I've always been in an interesting wedge because part of the issue is that my roots are definitely in game design and being a programmer. So, when I'm with the [creative] guys on that side, the business people in the industry see me as the creative type. And then at the same time, I've had to run a public company, I've bought companies and sold companies, and done all the things along those lines, and the creative people go, "He's a business guy." [laughs]
Many people look at me as weirdly between the two worlds.
Some people in the industry say that game designers these days can't afford not to be business-savvy. Is that something that you can relate to or agree with?
BF: For sure. I never thought of it any other way, right. Before I was into games, I was always a business guy. I was selling Amway as a kid, whatever. I just always thought about the numbers. It depends. If you're going to be trying to run your own business in any way, shape, or form, then absolutely [you need to know business]. If you say, "You know what? I don't want to deal with that business stuff. I just want to be an employee and focus on just the creative side," then not necessarily.
But if you can negotiate a deal that gets you twice as much per unit, that one little action changes everything. You only have to sell half as many to make the same amount of money. Ultimately the game quality and the business economics come together at some point. So, yeah, in order to survive, you have to have some business acumen. And then there's a lot of scenarios out there that you have to wade through to figure out what's real and what has potential to make money.
Hunted: The Demon's Forge
So then how has your own business experience and knowledge affected the design decisions in Hunted: The Demon's Forge?
BF: Well, I guess for one, I think it's more difficult than that now. Because remember, we don't just do triple-A games. We do have PSN titles. We have iPhone titles, iPad titles. We have a website with Line Rider. We have a casual games site. I've done that so I can keep myself involved in everything, so I can understand why the DLC works, why does PSN work. Because each one of the worlds is its own microcosm of economics, right? You can have the same game on one system for free and then on another for a $1.99 and on another for $9.99, and it's the exact same title.
So, it's about understanding why that happens and why it works. I try to keep myself involved in everything out of, I don't know, intellectual stimulation, to just want to stay relevant at the same time. And thank God I have.
But as far as the business decisions, on Hunted -- I've always wanted to have what can sell. I mean everybody has a creative idea. My grandma has creative ideas, but can they sell? I'm a student of the market. Looking back at all kinds of data, I read all the industry stuff. I read your website. I read everything. I keep a sense of things. So, at least when we're kicking of a title, I feel like we're making a nice educational guess as to where there might be an opportunity in the marketplace.
At one point we decided, "You know what? There isn't a great fantasy action game." Not really, right? And there's some elements of dungeon crawls that collide that the old schoolers, kind of like myself, and there's some elements we can take from that and re-introduce in a different format.
So, I look at all those things and say, "Here's what we want to build," hoping that it fits into a place within the market. Once we decided that we were going to deal with a publisher, within the business side again, which is you've got to negotiate the contract, work out the milestones and how you recoup, again, that's the business side.
But it's not affecting the game design or the quality, etcetera, other than we're going to have a budget, and we have to make a game with that budget. So you have to create a corporate culture that everybody's very cognizant of what they're spending and tracking that and things like that. But once we're underway and we know what the budget is and we know how we're going to get there, then creatively there's no day-to-day business decision from a creative standpoint, because the die has been cast before we started.

Very cool interview, and quite inspiring!

I'd pay money to meet Brian Fargo. I mean, Bard's Tale? Wasteland? That was my entire life between junior high and sophomore in college. I still have the graph paper maps I made of Skara Brae.

I loved those games...

The biggest secret of success? There is no secret. Work hard, do your best, and pray. And try to have a good time.
And I'm really, really looking forward to Hunted!

Excellent feature. I was intrigued by his views of focus testing versus intuition, and how he related them to Hollywood.

text: Hi all, Assuming I have the "complete kit" from Northstar, for combat bolts, Aside from building them per instructions and get them inspected before use, what other requirements are there For the bolts to be legal at Gulf? My understanding is we need to label them Name & kingdom with a sticker on the shaft. If the bolts are owned by a shire, is shire name good enough, or do we have to have a persons name on them? Basically I want to be sure they pass first time I cart them to an event. Thanks, Caladin-

Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) starts off as an Earth child whose mother is dying. When she passes, it changes his outlook on life. He's then raised as a space adventurer and thief whose life is in danger after stealing a mysterious orb. Many in the universe seek the orb, although only some know its true power and purpose. When Quill discovers why thugs and villains are after the orb, he must bring together rivals and enemies to help protect the universe. Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is connected with Thanos, a powerful being feared by many. She meets Peter under dangerous circumstances and Peter must quickly decide if the deadly and talented Gamora could become an ally or if her loyalty lies with Thanos. Drax (Dave Bautista) has a rough reputation and has no wish to help Peter, unless they find common ground. Genetic experiment Rocket (Bradley Cooper) has teamed up with the tree-like Groot (Vin Diesel) to capture Peter for bounty, unless he can convince them he's worth more to them than a payday.

Manatee leaders urge parental involvement
Date: September 8, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
State and local leaders and Manatee County's top law enforcement and school officials today urged parents to participate in their children's lives, even if it means invading their privacy.
During a press conference to discuss the recent violence that has rocked the community, Manatee County Commission Chair Dr. Gwendolyn Brown was joined by State Rep. Darryl Rouson, Manatee Sheriff Brad Steube, Superintendent Tim McGonegal and county and school board members in a plea to local parents for greater involvement in their kids' lives.
"Pay attention to your child," Brown said. "Love them enough to talk to them about where they are, who their friends are and where they're going." Later she added, "I want the community to be outraged enough to do something, outraged enough to say, 'Enough is enough.'"
Bayshore High School cheerleader Jazmine Thompson, 17, was shot and killed Friday near Southeast High School after a football game. It was the second Bayshore High School-related shooting in a month. On Aug. 4 Bayshore graduate Dejuan Williams was shot and killed in his backyard after chasing off young men who were with his sister.
Brown offered condolences to both families and said she's saddened and angry about the events. She said the responsibility of turning the violent cycle rests within every parent, not in the school system or law enforcement.
Rouson offered Manatee leaders $4,000 to combat the problem from a pool raised for back-to-school materials for children in his district.
Steube said he's tired of parents not being involved in their children's lives and that he wants the community to take a stand. He urged parents to take an active role in their children's lives, and those of their children's friends' lives. He also pressed anyone who knows anything about guns in or near schools to make an anonymous call to Manatee County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-634-8477.
Concerned community members may also call Manatee County Community Services at 749-3030 or click on Community Services under the Departments tab at www.mymanatee.org.
"It's time to storm the beach," said school board member Barbara Harvey. "To parents: One of the top things you do should be raising your children. You won't be perfect, but you'll give it your best … Love them enough to inspect their rooms and book bags. Parents have to step up to the plate."
A follow-up community discussion is slated for Sept. 19, though a time and venue have not been decided.
The discussion will also be available on-demand by clicking on the Watch MGA-TV icon at www.mymanatee.org.

The Brewers are certainly bobblehead happy in 2014. The Spring Training schedule sees 8 bobblehead nights featuring what's likely leftovers from previous seasons (Ryan Braun on March 27th may be the highlight) while the 2014 regular season sees another 8 bobblehead giveaways at Miller Park ranging from current Brews to legends to Milwaukee icons.
According to TiqIQ, the average asking price per ticket on the secondary market for the Brewers bobblehead series is $96; 25% above the regular home average of $77. Below they'll break down each game's giveaway and ticket prices.
- 4/27 vs Chicago Cubs
Carlos Gomez Gold Glove Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $62, Get-in price: $17
The Brewers pay tribute to their center fielder with Carlos Gomez bobblehead night on April 27th. The special edition highlights Gomez's 2013 Gold Glove season, the first Brewer to take home the award since Robin Yount in 1982.
- 5/11 vs New York Yankees
Kyle Lohse Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $132, Get-in price: $26
Lohse was the Brewers most reliable starter in 2013 and the Brews will honor him with Kyle Lohse bobblehead night on May 11th. At an average ticket price of $132, it's by far the most expensive game on the list, but it's more so that the game takes place during Derek Jeter's farewell tour than demand for the bobblehead.
- 6/15 vs Cincinnati Reds
Vintage Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $77, Get-in price: $20
The Brewers will pay tribute to their old school logo at the June 15th matinee vs Cincy. While Brewers tickets for vintage bobblehead don't exactly carry a vintage price tag, it is the second cheapest game on this list.
- 6/29 vs Colorado Rockies
Scooter Gennett Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $78, Get-in price: $20
Gennett's the youngest player to be christened with a bobblehead this season. He was recalled from the Nashville Sounds last year at the age of 23 and performed well with a .324 batting average for the remainder the season.
- 7/27 vs New York Mets
Jim Henderson Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $78, Get-in price: $21
The Canadian born Jim Henderson is the second member of the pitching staff to earn a bobblehead night. Henderson was a member of the Canadian national team at the Pan American games in 2011. He earned a gold medal and the team was elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame.
- 8/10 vs Los Angeles Dodgers
Cinco the Chorizo Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $84, Get-in price: $20
The Brewers pay homage to their world famous Sausage Race with a bobblehead night featuring the likeness of it's newest sausage participant, the Chorizo. No word yet on how team dog "Hammerin Hank" feels about this one.
- 8/24 vs Pittsburgh Pirates
Jean Segura Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $82, Get-in price: $20
2013 All-Star shortstop Jean Segura gets his own bobblehead night in a late season matchup with division rival Pittsburgh.
- 9/14 vs Cincinnati Reds
Robin Yount Bobblehead
Average ticket price: $89, Get-in price: $21
The final bobblehead night of the season honors the legendary Robin Yount. The 2-time AL MVP and Gold Glove winner spent all 20 seasons of his MLB career with the Brewers and was a first ballot hall of famer elected in 1999. Yount is the Brewers all time leader in hits and home runs and has his number 19 retired by the franchise. This is the 2nd most expensive game on the list and fans are hopefully it'll have playoff implications.

I think a problem is journalism is being overly concerned with writing for other journalists. Twitter, in particular. Journalists have so engaged on Twitter and it's so empowering and gratifying to write an article your peers really enjoy that you can forget that your peers are very different from your readers. It can be a little bit problematic.

BGE Crews Make Headway In Restoring Power

BALTIMORE (WJZ) — BGE crews are finally making some significant headway in restoring power in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene.
About 45,000 customers have gotten their power back during the last 24 hours. But that's little consolation for homeowners who have spent nearly a week in the dark.
The problem is the sheer volume of customers who are out. In many places, crews still have to remove fallen trees before BGE can restore electricity.
At last check, about 33,000 homes were still without power. The majority of those are in Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties.
More than 707,000 people have had their power restored since Hurricane Irene hit Maryland.
