Hacking point of sales (PoS) systems is a very trendy topic. A lot of PoS malware can be found in the wild (jackPOS, gamaPOS, Backoff, FighterPOS…). At every big breach of PoS systems, media talk about sophisticated attacks involving high skills and great tools. But sometimes, it can be very easy to compromise a PoS and no particular skills are required to steal sensitive information, such as credit card numbers.
During our investigation, we caught a very interesting case of "low-cost" PoS hacking. This article tries to unveil the inner process of infection.
Everything started with a Win32.Ardamax sample found in the wild. Ardamax is a classical sample which is a commercial keylogger available on the Internet.
After reversing this sample, it appears that the malware uploads data on a FTP server hosted in Germany, on server4you. This FTP can easily be accessed (login and password are embedded in the sample) and contains victims' uploaded data.
This FTP seems to be used since the 9th of October 2014. The server is full of samples, tools and exfiltrated data.
We cannot publish the original sample, because Server4you has not shutdown the server yet.
This repository contains the original Win32.Ardamax sample, malwares (Darkomet, Andromeda, Gorynych…), some memory scrappers to retrieve credit card numbers and websites crawlers scan results.
On the same repository, we can find screenshots, microphone recordings, webcam pictures as well as keystroke recordings for each single infected computer.
Crooks have access to about fifteen point of sales computers as well as to some SCADA systems.
We spent a lot of time contacting CERTs and companies for cleaning computers but day after day new infected point of sales data were uploaded to the FTP repository.
How were crooks able to continuously find new targets to infect?
Amongst uploaded data, some screenshots caught our attention: somebody was using a VNC brute force tool against a large range of IP addresses.
The tool used by crooks can be retrieved from an archive uploaded to the VirusTotal website:
It seems they are using infected computers to brute force VNC servers with weak passwords . When a new VNC connection is established, a new payload is downloaded through a regular browser and installed on the newly infected machine. No exploit or sophisticated techniques are employed.
Once the payload is downloaded, any installed antivirus is configured to ignore it or is even completely uninstalled. This requires administration rights on the computer, but obviously this is quite a common situation on point of sales systems.
This day, it is Gorynych which was spreading: https://www.virustotal.com/fr/file/406c30d40f3837615e3b393edc1d6667213c3d287ec006be6198d68124041d43/analysis/
Last but not least, crooks used compromised computers to administrate the Gorynych panel:
During several days we followed the whole stealing process. Crooks infected point of sales and used mainstream memory scrappers like SearchforCC for credit card numbers exfiltration.
As we can see, there is no need of sophisticated attacks or processes to infect systems. With a little more time, crooks would be able to infect a much larger range of systems. With a short list of 152 weak passwords, an attacker is able to control a lot of point of sales systems. In this case, crooks access from small and medium-sized enterprises to companies with 500 million dollars in annual sales.
This kind of campaign would not be so easy to carry out if:
• Point of sales computers were not directly connected to the Internet;
• Strong VNC passwords were used;
• Administrator accounts were not used to connect to sensitive systems.
This kind of negligence can result in a huge waste of money and a very bad image for the compromised company.

Business Inputs and Outputs is a proposed third category. Non-manufacturing businesses still have outputs that affect the environment.
Business Inputs and Outputs
- Standards for business inputs, such as Suppliers should be chosen with consideration to their environmental and sustainability practices.
- Standards for business outputs, such as Goods which are sold should be recyclable.
- Adherence (or better) to EPA standards covering your industry.
- Exploration of better standards covering your industry, for example, European laws.
- ????
Numbers 2, 3 and 4 feel like they pertain to manufacturing companies (whereas this set of standards is aimed at non-manufacturing offices). Thoughts?

The advantage goes to teams that have had low turnover. Familiarity and the short season. The short season will also bring surprises. At 48 games last year, TO was a playoff team. If it was a full year, the odds are in favor of the Sharks being a bubble team as it is hard to change year to year results. Don't even dream about a cup, the moves weren't there to do it as it is usually one key move (not multiple moves due to the familiarity thing).
Health will be even more critical with the short season and lack of time to compensate for lapses in play due to injury or other reasons. It would not be in the Sharks favor to do a major overhaul on systems so the effect of new coaches will not likely be felt this year. Major overhauling of systems would be a knife to the heart of the team in terms of the standings for this year although it might bode well for next year. Not doing a system overhaul will also tend to push the team towards duplicating last year's results.

UPDATE: Austrian police confirmed the final death toll, saying 71 refugees, including eight women and four children, were found dead in the truck.
In yet another tragedy involving destitute refugees trying to get to Europe, dozens of migrants were found dead in a truck abandoned on a motorway in Austria.
The police first stopped by the truck thinking that the parked vehicle – with Hungarian license plates – had mechanical problems. But then they "saw blood dripping" from the vehicle's locked doors.
Authorities believe the people may have died from suffocation as they were stuffed inside the trailer like cattle.
Initially, the police couldn't give the exact death toll because, according to the Daily Beast's Barbie Latza Nadeau, the bodies had started to "decompose and meld together."
Channel 4 news reporter Lindsey Hislum, who was covering the incident, described the grisly scene on Twitter:
Just drove past truck on A4 in Austria with 50 dead refugees inside. Terrible smell of death as we passed. pic.twitter.com/a2AiDnsy5V — Lindsey Hilsum (@lindseyhilsum)

WATCH: Europe's Migrant Crisis: Who Are These Desperate People?
The refugee crisis of Europe has dominated news this year ever since hundreds of refugees aboard dilapidated vessels died in the Mediterranean Sea in April.
French and German leaders are attempting to hit on a solution to what has been described as the worst refugee crisis since World War II.
However, little has been done so far to solve the issue.
"If Europeans want their governments to regain control of their borders, they must offer migrants and asylum-seekers official (European Union-wide) channels to enter and stay in Europe," François Crépeau, the United Nations' special rapporteur, or independent expert, on migrant human rights, said this week.
A record number of 107,500 migrants crossed the European Union's borders last month and on Wednesday police counted more than 3,000 crossing into Serbia.

Concord - House Republican Leader Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) released the following statement following the approval of the majority recommendation of the Medicaid Expansion Commission:
House Republican Leader Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett)
"The Governor and House Democrats' original plan was to open the floodgates and get as many people on to this taxpayer funded government insurance program as possible. This did not take into account the possible long term costs New Hampshire taxpayers could face. I'm happy to see there were at least some concessions made by the pro-expansion commissioners. The departure from the original proposal is considerable but not necessarily redeeming."
"The commission recommendation is not legislation. In the end, we all want to find a solution that will allow us to provide access to affordable healthcare for our low income citizens. What we don't want is an income or sales tax if Medicaid costs become unmanageable. As the process moves forward to the legislature, we will continue to offer solutions that minimize taxpayers' exposure to unfunded mandates and maximize use of private insurance options."

The McMaster Alumni Association and Student Success Centre have you covered with Kick-start your Career 2017! Regardless of whether you are a recent grad or have an established career we can help you take it to the next level with sessions from HR professionals, industry experts and recent grads. Mark your calendar on June 28th for this exclusive conference!
May 2017 It is raining cats and dogs in Hamilton today, but I see a lot of sunshine in our future -- hopefully not just metaphorically! We have Alumni Reunion Day coming up next weekend, and we're hosting an all-Canadian alumni meet-up at Hamilton's Spice Factory on June 6.
April 2017 - Mac10 When the weather is this nice, it's time to plan summer. We have two great opportunities for group tickets at Toronto games. On June 23rd there is Friday Night Footy with the TFC at BMO field and on August 15th we have our annual Blue Jays game. Mark your calendar and join other Mac Grads at our games this summer!
April 2017 As I write this message, I am on my way to San Francisco to host an alumni event with one of our faculty stars and fellow grad Joe Kim. You might remember the story we did in the fall of the alumni magazine about Joe and Dick Day about the evolution of first year psychology, the course that thousands of Mac grads have taken.
March 2017 - Mac10 It's back! The 3rd Annual Light Up the Night year end block party is next week! It's a great night to celebrate the school year and it's open to alumni too! If this is the first you're hearing of Light Up the Night check out this video. Come to campus next Thursday for another great McMaster tradition.
March 2017 Brace yourself, because this is going to make you feel old: the class of 2021 (many of whom were born in the year 2000!) is currently preparing to graduate high school. They will descend on McMaster campus in late summer, wide-eyed and excited for the next four years of university life. This is a generation that doesn't know life without internet, 24-hour news, or data plans. They may be technologically savvy, but they're still going to feel just like we did at that age – starting a new phase of life unsure about what to expect and maybe more than a bit terrified.
February 2017 - Mac10 Join us after business hours for a mix and mingle with recent McMaster alumni and local recruiters at Serve Ping Pong Bar and Lounge on Thursday, March 16 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. This event will include food, drinks, networking and ping pong!
February 2017 Can you feel that? The wisp of warmth in the air as you walk outside? I think it's spring, folks. It's almost here. We're definitely waking up from winter in our events department and we have a full schedule of exciting and educational activities planned for you. From Kingston and Ottawa (click through to find out about the connection to Ivan Reitman and Eugene Levy!) to Shanghai and Hong Kong, plus plenty of programming here at home in Hamilton, there's something for everyone.
January 2017 - Mac10 It's 2017! Hopefully you are still sticking to your resolutions (or maybe just taking a quick break). One of the mac10 new years resolution is to get more feedback from you! We want to make mac10 as valuable for you as it can be. With that in mind we have this survey for you. We know how groan-worthy surveys can be so we did our best to make it quick and easy. PLUS you could win one of two $200 prepaid VISAs for filling it out!
January 2017 It's a new semester – time to get back to business after the holidays. The January semester has always felt like a fresh start to me. We have a chance to shake off the bad habits of the past year and try new ways of approaching studies or work.
December 2016 - Mac10 We hope your 2016 was great, even if the internet has wanted it to end for a while. A lot has happened here at Mac, so we wanted to make a video to show off, and show our appreciation for everything the McMaster community does. (It's not our facebook's year in review, we promise).
December 2016 You may not remember this, but last year around this time people were walking around in t-shirts! It was 15 degrees (above zero) in Hamilton on December 24, 2015. This year, we're all donning toques and layering warm clothes over our t-shirts. I can't really decide which I prefer. But whichever way the weather turns, the holiday break is almost here.
November 2016 - Mac10 Want to make the next party you throw even better? We are bringing the experts right to you at our holiday party this year. Our DJ, mixologist, and chefs will give your some tips on how to do the little things to make your next get-together the best ever. Come out on Friday December 2nd in Toronto at the Gardiner Museum where you can learn a little and enjoy the evening with drinks, apps, desserts and music. Bring your friends and spend some time with other Mac
November 2016 Walking to work this week, I could see my breath in the air in front of me. My cheeks and fingers stayed icy for a good while after I arrived at our little cottage Alumni House. And leaving at the end of the day lately has meant leaving in the dark. It may not say it on the calendar but trust me it's official: winter is here.
October 2016 - Mac10 Ever find yourself needing that little bit of advice? We are here to help! This is the first video in our 1 minute mac10 Masterclass series, that aims to teach you everything you couldn't learn in class. Meet Jeffrey Doucet '13 who has some advice about taking a different career path. Have your own ideas to share on a topic? It can be anything, investing to podcasts, buying a house to buying art, meeting people to paying taxes. Reach out here.
October 2016 The world is pretty scary this Halloween. Whether you're spooked by the U.S. election, or roving clowns, or really anything in the world news headlines, an alumni event might be just the ticket to find comfort and community.
June 2016 Earlier this month, we welcomed 6,000 new graduates to the alumni family. Convocation season is always so exciting. There is such joy (and relief) on the faces of graduating students and such pride on the faces of their families and friends. This year, many of the graduates posting on social spoke about the gratitude they feel towards their parents and family. And many returned to McMaster to use the beautiful campus as a backdrop for family photos.
May 2016 This week, the alumni team headed outside to take our monthly team photo (check out the whole album on our Facebook page) and, for the first time in what feels like a long time, there was no shivering or cries of "ah, it's so cold!" The sun is shining this week and it feels good.
April 2016 If you live in Hamilton, you may have heard a series of explosions echoing across the city on the evening of April 8. It was the reverberations from a spectacular fireworks display we unleashed on campus to celebrate the end of semester. The event, our second annual Mac Block Party, also included a midway with rides and games, a last lecture by CBC's George Stroumboulopoulos, and an outdoor concert and dance party.
March 2016 Finally – it's spring! I've walked across campus without a coat a few times now, and it feels great. The garden around Alumni House is coming to life, and we're starting to think about Alumni Reunion Day and a great line-up of spring events.
February 2016 "Somewhere in this grand and influential institutional mission, there is a place for you… we need to take a more personal look at McMaster because I believe that finding your own personal involvement mission is what can turn casual support into a passion and what can turn engagement into leadership."
January 2016 Cue the cinnamon hearts and Hershey's kisses: Valentine's Day is coming. February starts on Monday and we here at the Alumni House are ready. We're particularly excited for these two fun initiatives open to everyone!
December 2015 Here we are: it's the heart of holiday season and we're getting ready for a few days of much-needed time away from work. The holidays are a time for family, for home, and for a bit of nostalgia.
November 2015 Temperatures have dropped below zero. Snow has fallen from the sky. We've donned our parkas and made appointments for winter tires. Winter is coming. Have a happy, healthy and cozy December!
October 2015 The sky is grey but all the leaves on campus are definitely not brown. This is such a beautiful time of year on campus with the trees sporting bright yellow, orange and red leaves (the tree outside the Alumni House is particularly fantastic). Folks, it's officially fall.
September 2015 Can you feel it? That chill in the mornings, the waning warmth of the sun, an uptick in everyone's schedules… fall has arrived! We have a very exciting fall planned for alumni this year. Homecoming is this weekend – and while the football game has sold out, there are still some alumni tickets for the Sheepdogs concert available and plenty of other events to enjoy on campus this weekend.
August 2015 It's quiet at McMaster today. The weather feels crisp, like fall is coming. And, inevitably, it is. By Saturday afternoon, campus will be anything but quiet. Our students start to move in to residences this weekend and then Welcome Week begins. (You can follow along online with #MacWW2015 to see hundreds of first-person perspectives throughout the week.)
July 2015 McMaster feels pretty sleepy at this point in the summer, especially with this hot, hot weather we've been having. But there is a stirring across campus in anticipation of fall – a fresh coat of paint here, new furniture heading into residences there, and the sprucing of flower beds and lawns to make everything look just right for when students return.
June 2015 I have a confession. I get excited when we start to work on our annual report each year. I get to take a few moments and look back at our year. In 2015, our team ran 220 events, worked with more than 7,000 donors to McMaster, and expanded our reach online. Whether you're a regular attendee, a donor, or you just follow what we're up to on social media, I want to thank you and encourage you to take a moment and peruse our annual report.
May 2015 If you're in southern Ontario this week, you know that summer has finally arrived. The trees are exploding with greenery, flowers are blooming, and mercury is rising. On a recent walk across campus I could smell freshly cut grass and see students playing Frisbee on the BSB lawn.
April 2015 I can still remember that joyous feeling of leaving my last exam of the semester, and I bet you can too. It's especially sweet in April when the weather is nice and you're finally free to enjoy it — bounding out of that stuffy exam hall with summer stretching out before you. Thousands of McMaster students experienced that feeling this week as exams drew to a close. Campus will be a bit quieter now, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down at the alumni office.
March 2015 Sharing memories is important. Through your memories, our students and recent grads can learn that the Mac men and women who went before them share their experiences, hopes and fears. There is a powerful inspirational aspect to sharing memories across generations and among alumni peers.
February 2015 I am pleased to share with you the 2014 Giving Report which highlights the impact of alumni gifts in the lives of our Mac students. As we read headlines telling us about the record cold we have experienced this month, I invite you to review the report and I guarantee it will make you forget about the cold for at least a moment or two. On behalf of the alumni team and our students, thank you for your generous support of our alma mater.
January 2015 Where did January go? On behalf of the McMaster Alumni Association and the alumni team, our best wishes for the new year before the first month of 2015 disappears. 2015 is shaping up to be another great year for the Alumni Association and McMaster and I look forward to your continued support and engagement with our university. We will be embarking on an alumni engagement survey in the spring that I do hope many of you will take a few moments of your time to share with us your opinions. Watch for upcoming issues of Maroon Mail for more information as well as the many activities, programs and benefits your association is pleased to provide to you.
December 2014 As we approach the end of 2014, I want to extend on behalf of the McMaster Alumni Association Board of Directors and our alumni team, our warmest wishes for a healthy and safe holiday season. We have a terrific line up of events and programs for the new year and look forward to spending 2015 with all of our McMaster alumni friends. #GOMACGO
November 2014 I think we all have a case of "Maroon Fever" and it is not just because our football team is in the Vanier Cup this Saturday. This fall has been one of good news across campus ranging from our continued excellent showing in the world university rankings; two CIS silver medals for our Men's Soccer and Women's Rugby teams; our former chancellor's gift of $2.5 million in the study of Canadian history; and the almost daily releases of research news from our world class faculty.
October 2014 Happy Hallowe'en! It is eerily quiet here at Mac today with all of our students on their fall break. Take a moment to read the great story on the 70s production of Frankenstein featuring Ian and Dave Thomas, Martin Short and Eugene Levy and of course, you might also want to check out the zombie story!
September 2014 Fall official begins on September 23 which is just in time for our annual fall Homecoming celebrations at Mac! We kick-off the week of activities on September 24 with our Hamilton Alumni Community IMPACT awards luncheon; followed by the Athletic Hall of Fame ceremony and dinner on September 25; the students catch the spirit of Mac on September 26 with their Homecoming Expo on the front lawn of Burke Science Building featuring a Ferris wheel, pep rally and food trucks with Lil Jon performing that night in the Sport Hall as we await the arrival of Queen's for the 1pm kickoff on the Saturday for our Homecoming football game.

May 2014 It is celebration time at McMaster! Over the next couple of weeks we will highlight alumni and student achievements at our annual McMaster Alumni Association awards ceremony and dinner; followed by Alumni Reunion Day for our classes celebrating 50 years since graduation; and then of course the biggest celebration of the year, our spring convocation ceremonies where 5,000 plus Mac students will join their fellow graduates as members of the Alumni Association.
April 2014 William McMaster is on my mind today as we celebrate Founder's Day at McMaster. On April 23, 1887, the bill was assented to by the Ontario Legislature providing for the union of Woodstock College and the Toronto Baptist College under the name of McMaster University. Today, we celebrate Senator McMaster's generosity and belief in the power of education.
March 2014 Happy Spring! I keep saying it is spring so that I believe it as the weather has not been cooperating. We had to reschedule an event from earlier this year due to a snow storm so I'm pleased to re-welcome journalist and Hamiltonian, Steve Paikin, to McMaster to discuss his new book, Paikin and the Premiers, on Wednesday, April 9th. Fingers crossed the snow is done in Hamilton for this year!
February 2014 This month, we celebrated the second Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day in which student groups across North America are organizing events and activities to enhance awareness and engagement of students in philanthropy at their post secondary home or around the world. Our Mac activities have been organized around the theme of "a little means a lot," illustrating that any donation, no matter the size, can make a big difference on campus. Check out our Giving Report inside.
January 2014 This month's Maroon Mail celebrates McMaster and all the people that make this community what it is. Dr Patrick Deane takes part in a fun campaign chronicling all the different ways members of the McMaster community spend their day. Check out the campaign inside!
December 2013 We all know that what we wear shares a little bit of ourselves with the world. But sometimes, an explanation is required. Have a look at the alumni team donning their holiday best festive sweaters. We hope it says we're a fun, (and sometimes competitive) group who are in the holiday spirit! Help us decide who wore it best, and Like your favourite festive sweater.
November 2013 The holiday season is upon us and we are kicking off the season next week with lots of good cheer! On Friday December 6 we are hosting a Holiday Soiree in Toronto at Hotel Ocho with rumours of a candy bar, holiday photo booth, music and lots of dancing are circulating around the office as well as our annual Hamilton Festive Wine Dinner at the University Club featuring the food and wine of Italy which is one of our destinations in our 2014 travel program; and finally our Mac10 program is hosting a holiday gathering in Hamilton on December 19 at the Baltimore House.
October 2013 The team at Alumni House is a pretty competitive group so in the spirit of Halloween, we had a pumpkin carving competition. We didn't want to be the only judges of whose pumpkin was the best so we had readers decide which one would win. Check out the wonderfully creative designs here. Learn more about the Fall production from the School of the Arts; our Downton Abbey inspired etiquette dinner; a new service to alumni for access to electronic journals and lots, lots more.
September 2013 With October and Homecoming 2013 right around the corner, energy and excitement on campus reached a fever pitch. Check out how the McMaster University Alumni Association got ready for homecoming weekend in our promo video, and let us know if it reminds you of your time at McMaster!
August 2013 As the fall semester begins, reconnect with McMaster University and the McMaster University Alumni Association. This month was packed with exciting events and a week long celebration of the McMaster spirit. Also, be sure to check out the great conversation we had with Marauder Football's very own, Coach Ptaszek.
July 2013 The advice keeps coming into the Alumni Office. This spring, we received good advice from alumni to share with our newest graduates and we are now in the midst of tips, advice, and answering questions from our incoming students, our future Class of 2017.
May 2013 May and June is celebration time at McMaster. Earlier this month, we held the spring convocation ceremonies for the Faculty of Health Sciences and Divinity College. Last night, we recognized outstanding alumni and student achievements at the McMaster Alumni Association awards ceremony. In a couple of weeks, we will welcome over 5,000 new members to the Alumni Association family during nine convocation ceremonies.
April 2013 The stress level is high on campus this month as our students began writing final examinations on April 12. Students will write more than 80,000 exams in more than 700 courses during the exam period, which runs until April 30.
March 2013 When it comes to good advice given to me during my time as an undergraduate, I hear my mother's voice as clear as if it were yesterday… "a little more time in the library, and a little less time in the pub." Once I heeded that good advice, I realized she was right. So here I am a proud Mac grad asking you to share your good advice with this year's graduating class. Think of it as a convocation speech by committee.
February 2013 When I was a teenager and babysat on Labour Day Weekend, it often meant watching the Jerry Lewis Tele–a–thon. Watching the charity fundraiser is where I first became mezmorized by the tote board and the changing numbers. I'm not sure why but still to this day when someone announces "Can we see the new number," I stop and watch in anticipation for the reveal of the number.
January 2013 I'll admit it – I have a crush on Alvin Lee. A big crush. Dr. Lee will be leading our Alumni Travel Program trip to the Blue Danube in September and let me tell you, I'd be the first to sign up to spend two weeks exploring Europe with this man. Dr. Lee will be offering a flavour of what's in store for the trip at a special excursion preview at Alumni Memorial Hall on February 27, where he will be sharing his passion and knowledge of the romantic and classical music of Europe.
December 2012 What a year! Phew. That was some year to be part of the McMaster family. We started out the year with plans to celebrate our great institution's milestone 125th anniversary. We had lots of reasons to celebrate.
November 2012 I admit it. I am really competitive. I can't help myself. So, when my team came to me with an idea for a 125th anniversary challenge I was all over it. Starting December 4 for 48 hours, we are challenging our McMaster family to help us raise $125,000 in just two days for the special 125th Anniversary Bursary established to mark this commemorative year at McMaster.
October 2012 We lost a special Mac grad this past week. Lincoln Alexander was a member of the Class of 1949 and a memember of our Alumni Gallery. I would encourage you to take a few minutes to listen to his Alumni Gallery interview from 1993. Linc was interviewed by Les Prince and it is a wonderful story of Linc's life in his own words. You can find the interview by visiting our Daily News story on Linc.
September 2012 With over 153,000 alumni in 140 countries, you would expect a few of our grads to have a desire to share their viewpoint on the web and I now count myself part of the group. We have recently launched our Alumni Blog and are inviting alumni to join us on our blog page – either as regular reader or blogger. Check out our From the Bleachers blog from Ben Chapdelaine '01 as we get ready for the Mac vs. Western football game this Saturday.
August 2012 Campus is undergoing its "finishing touches" as we await the arrival of the Class of 2016 this weekend, kick-off our football season on Monday against the University of Guelph and look forward to the re-opening of the Phoenix in its new location, the Refectory on Tuesday.
July 2012 The Forward with Integrity Advisory Committee has released its report and is available on the President's & Vice-Chancellor's website. In his two years at McMaster, Dr. Deane has been meeting alumni near and far and been providing updates on the Forward with Integrity Initiative and welcomes alumni feedback. The report can be found here as well as the Task Force Group reports and Dr. Deane's letter to the McMaster community.
June 2012 Happy Canada Day Weekend! I'm just back from a successful series of alumni events in Victoria, Vancouver and Calgary as we celebrate McMaster's 125th year. Yesterday the University announced the location of our new liberal arts building on the current location of Wentworth House and Phoenix fans don't worry as the bar is moving to the former Refectory cafeteria space later on this summer. It will be a fantastic location for the Phoenix and walking by the now finished patio, it looks terrific!
May 2012 Alumni House is a hive of activity these days as we get ready for our annual class reunion and awards weekend and look forward to Convocation ceremonies in early June. Today is the Association's annual awards ceremony and dinner when we gather to celebrate the accomplishments of our alumni and recognize outstanding service to McMaster.

BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain on Tuesday rubbished reports of the tiff between Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan and former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi.
"There is no fight. Once we all sit together and talk, it will all get sorted," said Hussain.
He reiterated the good relationship between the members of the alliance, saying, "We are different groups but we have the same aim of removing LAlu Prasad and Nitish Kumar from Bihar."
Recently, Manjhi blamed Paswan of running a family business in politics. (ANI)

Best Of :: Bars & Clubs
Dan Hull deals in yarn-spinning. The master storyteller is arguably the architect of downtown Phoenix's storytelling scene. And he has told tales across the country — including at The Moth in New York. Lucky for Valley dwellers, Hull's easy to find around town. He hosts the aptly named Yarnball, a recurring open mic night at literary hotspot Lawn Gnome, and organizes Storyline, a series at Space 55 in which he occasionally takes the stage. Each event series is a platform for both established and emerging storytellers. Further bolstering Phoenix's storytelling scene, Hull occasionally hosts workshops for start-up raconteurs. And we've gotta give him snaps for that.
Looking to impress a visiting tourist or just yearning for a great place to kick up your feet after work? Head to the patio at the Four Seasons resort, where a tangy Copper City Mule awaits you — not to mention some of the most stunning, sweeping views of the desert to be had. Those vistas, combined with a daily happy hour from 3 to 5:30 p.m., make for an unbeatable twilight drink. A killer list of tap wine, tap beer, and by-the-bottle vino choices will have you staying well past sunset (and what a sunset it is!), then heading into the Four Seasons' Proof, an upscale, homestyle diner where you can add a little dinner to the perfect dusk-hour cocktail.
Let's be honest: Bar Crudo could've pulled a win in several cocktail categories. However, none of the others really put forth everything this Arcadia spot has to offer quite like the happy hour category. From a long list of classic cocktails made to the rigorous and historically accurate standards co-owner and master mixologist Micah Olson enforces in his bar to the phenomenal bar bites with Italian flair, everything you could order is dirt cheap (cocktails are $7 and dishes range from $5 to $12) for the quality you're getting. After all, well liquor pretty much means nothing at this bar and those crispy pig ears are the stuff dreams are made of. Take a seat in the beautiful lounge and bar area Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m. and get the full Crudo experience.
Nothing says chilling by the pool on a relaxing Saturday afternoon quite like an ice-cold can of Mr. Pineapple. Yes, this San Tan brew now is available for purchase in cans at most local liquor stores and even area Trader Joe's. Though it's not the most complex brew crafted in town, drinkability is the name of the game here, and we've found few who can resist this beer's charm, even after just one sip. With a nice, light wheat beer base and a strong, acidic, and fruity kick of pineapple flavor, Mr. Pineapple definitely isn't a misnomer, although the name is kind of creepy. Don't worry, though, this tasty brew plays nice.
Late summer, Four Peaks employees hear the same question from local beer lovers: "When can I get my hands on a pint of that pumpkin beer?" It might be because this brew's arrival is synonymous with the end of a long, hard heatwave. But there's definitely more to it than that. After all, there's a reason the pumpkin taps (and now even cans) run dry earlier and earlier every year, though the brewery makes more and more every year. The dark, coffee-colored beer is like drinking liquid pumpkin pie. Now that you know about its roasted malt, baking spice, and, of course, pumpkin flavors, make sure to get your stash of this autumn mainstay before it's gone. Because it will be gone. Soon.
It's funny how one brewery can come into the craft beer scene in Phoenix and completely blow it up. Sure, there was plenty of great local beer in town before Arizona Wilderness Brewing, but in just about a year, it's already been named best new brewery in the world by beer geeks in the know and has put our fair state on the map in ways it hadn't been before. Maybe it's the focus on using as much local grain as possible. Maybe it's the unique ingredient list, from cacao nibs to spruce tips. But once you get your first sip, you know it's something new. The almost daily changing list of experimental microbrews has us coming back for more and, with its being a Kickstarter-funded endeavor, we're just glad these artful brewers got the opportunity to open in the first place.

from ZeroHedge:
Vince Foster was a mentor to Hillary when they worked together at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas. When Bill was confirmed as the 42nd President of the United States on January 20, 1993, Foster took a role as his Deputy White House Counsel. 6 months later, to the day, Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park, along the Potomac River, of an apparent "suicide" resulting from a gun shot from a .38 caliber revolver.
Like a lot of things surrounding the Clintons, Foster's "suicide" has always been shrouded in mystery. A few months ago, The Daily Mail interviewed former FBI agents Coy Copeland and Jim Clemente who claimed that Hillary "triggered" Foster's "suicide" by "humiliating" him in front of colleagues just a few days before his death.
'Hillary put him down really, really bad in a pretty good-size meeting,' Copeland says. 'She told him he didn't get the picture, and he would always be a little hick town lawyer who was obviously not ready for the big time.'
Indeed, Hillary went so far as to blame Foster for all the Clintons' problems and to accuse him of failing them, according to Clemente, who was also assigned by the FBI to the Starr investigation and who probed the circumstances surrounding Foster's suicide.
'Foster was profoundly depressed, but Hillary lambasting him was the final straw because she publicly embarrassed him in front of others,' says Clemente.
'Hillary blamed him for failed nominations, claimed he had not vetted them properly, and said in front of his White House colleagues, 'You're not protecting us' and 'You have failed us,' Clemente says. 'That was the final blow.'
After the White House meeting, Foster's behavior changed dramatically, the FBI agents found. Those who knew him said his voice sounded strained, he became withdrawn and preoccupied, and his sense of humor vanished. At times, Foster teared up. He talked of feeling trapped.
On Tuesday, July 13, 1993, while having dinner with his wife Lisa, Foster broke down and began to cry. He said he was considering resigning.
That weekend, Foster and his wife drove to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, where they saw their friends, Michael Cardoza and Webster Hubbell, and their wives.
'They played tennis, they swam, and they said he sat in a lawn chair, just kind of sat there in the lawn chair,' Copeland says. 'They said that just was not Vince.
He loved to play tennis, and he was always sociable, but he just sat over in the corner by himself and stared off into space, reading a book.'
Two days later, Foster left the White House parking lot at 1:10 p.m. The precise time when he shot himself could not be pinpointed. After Park Police found his body, they notified the U.S. Secret Service at 8:30 p.m.
Based on what 'dozens' of others who had contact with Foster after that meeting told the agents, while Foster was already depressed, 'The put-down that she gave him in that big meeting just pushed him over the edge,' Copeland says. 'It was the final straw that broke the camel's back.'
No one can explain a suicide in rational terms. But the FBI investigation concluded that it was Hillary's vilification of Foster in front of other White House aides, coming on top of his depression, that triggered his suicide about a week later, Copeland and Clemente both say.

Firewalls and speed traps
Tufin Technologies
: 07 April, 2009
(Technical Article)
Tufin Technologies' Calum Macleod takes another wry look at firewall policy management through the eyes of a driver trying to avoid being caught by speed traps
Monday mornings are bad enough but when another letter arrives from the local law enforcement asking me for another contribution to help them improve the accuracy of their speed traps it doesn't make for a good start to the week. Fortunately I live in a pragmatic country where minor indiscretions are solved with a reasonable contribution and not with the full force of the legal system coming down on your head. But in any case in these times of recession, every little bit hurts!
Now I'm sure that many will say that the solution is simple - stick to the limit. And that would be easy if meetings ended on time and you didn't have to complete a 2 hour drive in 30 minutes and at the same time discuss business with colleagues, sympathize with your children asking for "Dr Phil level" advice on their personal relationships. It's not that I don't get alerts. After all radio stations display information about where exactly the cameras are hidden so at least you can plan to be law abiding at those spots but it's the nasty ones that sneak up behind you that are the worst. But what's this got to do with IT security.
It's just like your firewall infrastructure. You arrive at work for another normal day only to discover that more vulnerabilities have been reported over night, several departments are asking for access to new services and it is the firewall administration teams responsibility to sort this out. In fact the more I talk to firewall administrators, the more I came to realize they are all masochists. Only a masochist would work in a firewall team that has no effective security lifecycle management tool. I mean how many people you know are happy to spend their days looking for a needle in a haystack !
What Are The Challenges?
Is Your Firewall Policy Enforced?
Firstly every change that is made to a firewall has to be in line with the firewall policy. A firewall policy defines how the firewall should deal with traffic such as web, or email or any other application that needs to be accessed. Additionally the policy usually controls how the firewall is managed and updated. For example you may have a policy that states that the firewall has to be managed from a particular location. Firewall management is an area that can create problems especially for users who have outsourced the management. For example how does a Security Officer or an Auditor at an organization validate that the Service Provider is adhering to the agreed policy. In many cases the customer has simply no idea.
Is Your Information Security Policy Enforced?
A firewall policy is based on an organization's Information Security Policy. The firewall policy is the practical implementation of the security policy. The Information Security policy defines everything from acceptable use to what actions should be taken in the event of a security problem; for example a new vulnerability is identified that must be dealt with. The security policy will usually define the steps that are required in order to make changes to a firewall.
So what's your worst nightmare? You could say not having policies, but that's pretty much an unlikely event these days. The nightmare for Auditors and Security officers is having no effective method of knowing if your firewall administrators, whether in-house or out-sourced, are actually enforcing the policy.
The problem that you are faced with is that without effective Security Lifecycle Management and Firewall Policy Management technology it is virtually impossible today to know what is going on. Very complex and large rule sets across many firewalls in a multi-vendor environment is the source of sleepless nights. I talk to many organizations and the whole process is a paper based exercise. Every change to the firewall has to be examined firstly against the Information Security Policy - Is this allowed or not; is this person allowed to do this, etc. Then it's examined against the firewall policy - Does my firewall policy allow this; what has to be changed and where; does this already exist; what impact will this have on other services. And we haven't even thought about Business Continuity or compliance issues!
So now that you're exhausted from just trying to keep up with the stresses of daily life along comes regular maintenance. As rules and services are added every day your firewalls become fat and lazy. Probably in most firewalls you can probably expect that the "body mass index" is out of control. In most firewalls we're not talking obese we're talking absolutely huge. Without losing excess rules the firewall becomes slow, affecting performance, and impacting the business. And the result - buy a bigger firewall, i.e. waste money! This is kind of like going out to buy a new suit because the old open one doesn't fit anymore whereas if we just lost a few kilos everything would be fine.
But in the firewall world losing rules is not that simple. Rules are being shadowed, rules are obsolete, services and objects in rules are shadowed an obsolete. In other words most firewalls are a mess and without Firewall Policy Management tools it is an impossible task to. And not only are you likely to waste money getting bigger and better but you are also running major risks with the health of the firewall. As firewall rule bases grow so do the number of unused and obsolete rules and objects, which in turn leads to potential security vulnerabilities. The only way to fix this is without the right tools are to do it manually. Just not realistic!
The beauty of having the "technology" to spot and address the problems is that you will save money. Thanks to my eagle eyed wife it turns out that my son was driving when the picture was taken. I'm sure she would be amazing as a "Firewall Policy Management tool" but she ain't for sale so I suggest you buy your own!

Edoardo Molinari is one of six players with Ryder Cup pedigree competing in the fourth edition of the Avantha Masters next week. Â
The Italian will be joined at Jaypee Greens Golf Course by his fellow former Ryder Cup stars Ignacio Garrido of Spain, England's David Howell, Frenchman Thomas Levet, Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and Welshman Philip Price.
Between them, the six have amassed a total of 31 points in the biennial contest, with Montgomerie contributing most to the European cause with 23.5 points won in eight appearances as a player.
Molinari played under Montgomerie's captaincy in Wales in 2010, winning one point out of a possible three as Europe survived a final day fight back to defeat the Americans 141/2-131/2. Â
The two-time European Tour champion will be making his debut in the Avantha Masters, which will be tri-sanctioned by The European Tour, the Asian Tour and the Professional Golf Tour of India.
He said: "Part of the joy of playing golf for a living is travelling the world and experiencing new countries and different cultures, so I'm really looking forward to playing in the Avantha Masters for the first time next week.
"I have heard that golf is getting bigger in India all the time, so I'm excited about experiencing the atmosphere and hopefully I can give a good account of myself."
Molinari is one of 50 European Tour winners in the illustrious field, including one former European Number One in Montgomerie and four winners of the Asian Tour Order of Merit: namely Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee, the Indian duo of Jyoti Randhawa and Jeev Milkha Singh, and China's Liang Wenchong. Â
Randhawa and Singh will lead the home challenge in Greater Noida, with Challenge Tour champions Gaganjeet Bhullar and Shiv Kapur and two-time European Tour champion SSP Chowrasia also vying to take home the lion's share of the Â1.8million prize fund.
Delhi's favourite son Daniel Chopra will also be return to his father's birthplace to tee up in the Avantha Masters for the first time.
The two-time US PGA Tour champion, who was born in Sweden but raised in India, will be bidding to capture his third professional title on 'home' soil, having won the Indian Masters and the Indian PGA Championship in 1994. Â
Held for the first time at the Greg Norman-designed Jaypee Greens GC, which at 7,347 yards is India's longest golf course, the Avantha Masters will offer free entry to all spectators.

Who Do You Say I Am? (1 Of 14) by Fenton Moorhead
This content is part of a series.PERSON OF CHRIST, Tape 1
Tape One - Who Do You Say I Am?
By Pastor Fenton Moorhead
... who God is. If we define who we are, apart
from a knowledge of who God is, we totally miss our
own identity. Your ability to identify yourself, to
know who you are, is totally dependent upon your
knowledge of God and who God is. So I can miss
completely understanding who I am, and how I relate to
myself, to those around me, the world in which I live,
everything is dependent upon who God is.
So we ask the question, who am I? Who is God?
Somewhere along the line we have to ask the question,
who is Jesus Christ? If you take today your outline
out of your bulletin, you see we're beginning a new
series on the Identity of Christ. A series on the
Identity of Christ, the person of Christ, and we begin
with a scripture Matthew 16:13 where Jesus, in the
midst of His ministry, turns to His disciples and He
says, "Who do people say I am? What is the crowd
saying about Me? How is the crowd describing Me? Who
do the people say I am?"
There's some discussion about that, and then
Jesus says, "But who do you say I am?" He made it
You know, for you today, it is important what
people around you think about Jesus Christ, because
their understanding of who they are depends upon their
understanding of Christ. And if they miss Christ, as
far as I'm concerned, then they've missed everything.
But eventually the question comes to you, and to me,
"Who do you say that Jesus Christ is?" Now I want you
to look at this, because there are two terms in the
New Testament that describe who Jesus is, that areall
encompassing, and who He is fits under both of these
titles. All other titles of who Jesus is will fit
under these two.
Jesus says, "Who do people say the son of man
is?" Isn't that interesting?
If we look in the Old Testament, Ezekiel referred
to himself as a prophet of God and called hi ...

Short Bio: I have been in education for 13 years. My educational experiences include teaching Middle School Science and Math; High School Computer and Business education; Director of Math, Science and Technology; Chief Information Officer with responsibility for K-12 Data and Assessments; Adjunct professor, Researcher and Keynote speaker. I completed my doctorate at Fordham University where I studied Knowledge Management for Institutions of Learning in an Age of Networked Intelligence.
Presentations: I have been invited to present at numerous conferences on Leadership, Learning and Creativity in education, Social Learning: The Future of Knowledge Creation and Building Your Personal Learning Network. I have served as a moderator for the Global Education Conference, panelist for a career and networking event for recent college graduates and panelist for social media in education conference at Long Island University.
The truth is, besides hanging with my kids I find nothing more exciting then getting a group of people (educators, parents, students) absolutely excited about learning in this new age of networked intelligence. I've been known to make a very complex situation understandable for many. By highlighting things that are real to all of us, I get people open up there minds and engage in a bit of a shift in "Mindset." I do love that aha moment!
Here is a description of a recent keynote address: In this keynote presentation, Bill Brennan will promote the next generation of Professional Learning Communities – Professional/Personal Learning Networks. These networks allow groups and individuals to acquire information and share solutions within a dramatically larger community. He challenges us to look beyond the surface barriers technology may present to the opportunities that knowledge sharing and fluid interaction offer us and our students.

|Doris Pilkington
|Indigenous Australian writer and nurse
Doris Pilkington Garimara AM (born Nugi Garimara; c. 1 July 1937 – 10 April 2014), also known as Doris Pilkington, was an Australian author. She was best known for her 1996 book Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, a story of three Aboriginal girls, among them Pilkington's mother, Molly Craig, who escaped from the Moore River Native Settlement in Western Australia and travelled 2,414km (1,500 miles) for nine weeks to return to their family.
Pilkington was born at Balfour Downs Station, near the north Western Australian settlement of Jigalong.[2] Her mother, Molly, named her Nugi Garimara, but she was called Doris after Molly's employer at the station, Mary Dunnet, who thought Nugi was "a stupid name". As her birth was unregistered, her birth date was recorded as 1 July 1937 by the Department of Native Affairs.[3] She was taken from her mother to be raised at the Moore River mission when she was three and a half years old.[2] Her sister, Annabelle, was also taken when she was 3 years old, but has not acknowledged Craig or Pilkington since she was abducted.[4]
Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence is considered a powerful example of the mistreatments endured by the Stolen Generations. The book was made into an internationally successful film in 2002, directed by Phillip Noyce.[5] Her follow-up book, Under the Wintamarra Tree, details her own escape from Moore River. Home to Mother is her children's edition of Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence. In the four books, Caprice, a Stockman's Daughter, Follow the Rabbit-proof Fence, Home to Mother, and Under the Wintamarra Tree, Pilkington documented three generations of women in her family.[6]
In 1990 Pilkington's book Caprice: A Stockman's Daughter the first of the trilogy, won the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards, Unpublished Indigenous Writer – The David Unaipon Award. She was appointed co-patron of Australia's State and Federal Sorry Day committee's Journey of Healing in 2002. In May 2008 she was awarded the $50,000 Red Ochre Award which is made to an indigenous artist for their outstanding, lifelong contribution to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts at home and abroad.[7]
Doris Pilkington Garimara died of ovarian cancer at age 76 on 10 April 2014 in Perth, Western Australia.[8]

In April of 2012 the Nets' new identity was unveiled. The logo was reported to have been designed by Brooklyn's native son, Jigga man himself. For as many fans as there were to celebrate the team's new look, there were just as many left disappointed. I was in the latter camp. I love that the logo isn't fancy. And to be honest I was excited by what I didn't see –bevels, cartoon type, flares, or any of the other embellishment that have littered the world of sports for the past decade or so. However, I was left underwhelmed by the overall lack of sophistication. With the anniversary of the new identity I'd like to share my unsolicited approach.
My version references the same iconic subway destination signs as the original. I juxtaposed the gothic style custom sans serif typeface with textures that pay homage the teams gritty new home and their scrappy style of play. The proposed identity keeps the team name on an arch but does not compact the letterforms like the original. In my rehash, the NETS name stands tall, retains its weight, and reads in the order of the teams proper name–with "BROOKLYN" preceding "NETS." The existing identity places Brooklyn under the shield because there is no real estate within it.
The orignal monogram could have been a lot cleaner. By using the center groove as the anchor, I was able to simplify the mark and allow it to read more clearly, specifically for small applications. Overall, I feel my changes improve the team's look while leveraging a graphic style reflective of their new city and attitude.
Thank You!

The pusher.color.js library is a Javascript library for parsing, manipulating, and formatting colors
and color variations. This includes parsing all standard CSS3 color formats such as
rgba(54, 128, 255, .8) and
parsing common non-web color formats such as HSV, converting betweeen
formats, generating complementary colors, generating alternate tones and shades,
and other generally useful functionality in dynamic, graphics intensive
Javascript applications.
The library design is modelled after the excellent moment.js Javascript library for parsing, manipulating, and formatting dates.
Note: The library uses a semantic versioning scheme and is still considered an in-development API. Please feel free to use the library and report suggestions, errors, or questions; however, at this early stage of development full support and backwards compatibility can not be guaranteed.
Please consider donating if you find the library useful and worth supporting.
Licensed under the MIT license with a sincere request for donations based on your usage.
Ideas to make the library more useful? Simple comments, suggestions, or general feedback? Annoyed by the Donate button? Please send feedback along to email@example.com.
The library has no dependencies; simply include the script file in your HTML page.-->
The library aims to conveniently support many different forms of color specification, so that it will work well with many host applications. See the full documentation for all support color and number formats.
To use a color value in an HTML page, simply specify the desired format:
The library supports many operations for manipulating a given color. Change the color saturation, reduce the amount of green, blend with another color, find the color's complement, find a different tone of the same base color, etc.
More Information
The foremost goal of pusher.color is to be intuitive to use.
The basic usage should take only several minutes to learn and the rest of the functionality is intended to behave as the user would expect. Keeping the API simple and consistent is a primary goal.
Suggestions to simplify and improve the API or its documentation are always welcome.
Enter a color in the input below or click on one of the generated color swatches to generate a new set of derived colors.
This example shows how to modify the color of each pixel in a given
element. It uses jQuery, underscore, and the HTML5 Canvas API to do the majority
of the work. The color modification is within the inner loop of the
pixel data modification.
Note: if you are interested in doing image color modifications such as demonstrated below,
please see the
pusher.image library which is built on top of
The original image is given at the top. The image below is dynamically generated by the script.
A pusher Color object is created by calling the
pusher.color function with the
color to parse. In some cases, the function can determine the color format implicitly
but in others requires an explicit format argument to tell
how to parse the color data.
In the case of implicit formats,
pusher.color takes a single argument containing
a string representing the color. All standard
CSS3 color formats
are parsable as implicit color formats.
Explicit format parsing interprets the first argument as a the format to use and the following arguments represent the color description.
More Information
There are a wide variety of "fairly standard" color formats in use. Pusher.color.js generally assumes any CSS standard format in the case of ambiguity; however, by explicitly specifying the format, other formats can be used. It is never an error to explicitly specify the format to use.
pusher.color supports all
CSS3 basic color keywords
and all
CSS3 extended color keywords
See the CSS3 basic color keywords for an official reference of all supported colors.
See the CSS3 extended color keywords for an official reference of all supported colors.
The extended color formats are formats that are not part of the CSS3 specification.
The percent sign is optional on the saturation and value specification.
'rgba8' format is identical to the
'rgba' format
with the exception that the alpha value (i.e. the fourth component) is specified in a 0-255 range
as opposed to as a 0.0-1.0 floating point value. The 'rgb8' format is also provided and is
completely identical to the 'rgb' format; it is provided simply for consistency.
rgba8 format interprets the alpha value as in the range of 0-255.
For example,
this is the format of the pixel data returned from a call to
getImageData() on an
CANVAS element.
'float3' and
'float4' formats are identical to the
'rgb' and
'rgba' formats
with the exception that the color values (i.e. the first through third components) are specified in a 0.0-1.0 floating point range
as opposed to a 0-255 value.
Handles 32-bit colors packed into a single Javascript integer. Note that
both signed and unsigned integers are handled correctly by
red(), green(), blue()
Returns the red, green, or blue component of the color as a 0-255 value.
red(value), green(value), blue(value)
Sets the red, green, or blue component of the color. Expects a value in the range 0-255.
red('op value'), green('op value'), blue('op value')
Modifies the red, green, or blue components of the color.
Valid ops are
In the case of the operands with an
= the color is modified in place; otherwise, a copy of the color is made
and a new modified color is returned.
hsv(), hsva()
hue(), saturation(), value()
hue('op value'), saturation('op value'), value('op value')
hue('op', value), saturation('op', value), value('op', value)
alpha(), alpha8()
alpha() method returns the alpha value of the color in the standard CSS3 0.0-1.0 range.
alpha8() method returns the alpha value in the 0-255 range (note: the "8" comes from the
'rgba8' format, where the 8 is the number of bits used per channel to store the color).
luminance(), luminance8()
luminance() method returns the luminance of the RGB color based
on a biased weighting of 0.2126, 0.7152, 0.0722.
grayvalue(), grayvalue8()
grayvalue() method returns the unweighted average of the RGB color.
A tint is a color with white mixed into it.
Amounts may be specified as a floating point value, a parseable floating-point string, or as percentages.
A shade is a color with black mixed into it.
Tone is a color with gray mixed into it.
blend(color, amount)
The blend operation linearly mixes two colors by their RGBA component values. An input of 0 will result in an unmodified copy of the first color whereas an input of 1 will result in a unmodified copy of the second color.
In keeping with much of the API, the blend can be specified as a percentage as well. Also note the first color argument will be parsed as a color object if it is not already one.
add(), subtract(), multiply()
Component-wise operations on the colors. The operations use a floating point color component representation that, for example, would mean a red multipied by a grey becomes darker, not brighter.
Treats the two colors as bitfields and applies an XOR operation to the red, green, and blue components.
Note: the XOR is not applied to the alpha component and the source color's alpha is copied directly to the resulting color.
Clamps the internal representation of the color to a displayable range. This method is not often necessary to call explicitly, but may be desired as an intermediate operation when values are known to exceed displayable range and the excess range is not desired for subsequent operations.
Returns the color opposite in hue on the color wheel. This is effectively equivalent to
The compliment of a color's complement is always the original color.
Returns a set of three colors including the color itself and the two colors to 120 degrees to the left and right of it
on the color wheel. Effectively equivalent to
[ color, color.hue('-120'), color.hue('+120') ].
Returns a set of nine colors of varying saturation and value all with the source color's hue. Useful for generating a set of distinguishable, but similar colors.
hueRange(range, count)
Returns a set of count colors evenly spaced along a range in hue. The range determines how many degrees to vary from the hue in both directions, resulting in a total span of 2 * range.
For dark colors, returns white and for bright colors, returns black. This can be useful for choosing a background color for an arbitrary color.
Returns a grayscale equivalent of the color that differs in value by 30% in order to make it clearly distinguishable from the source color. This can be useful for border colors or other subtly different contrast colors.
Converts the color to a string format parsable by a CSS3-compliant web browser.
Note: the implementation does not guarentee which format
will be used for output by
html(). If a specific format
is required, use an explicit call for that particular format.
Converts the color to a string format parsable by a CSS3-compliant
web browser. Note that only CSS3 format types as available (e.g.
html('hsv') is not a supported format type). The
resulting color is always the nearest match in case of inexact
matches and the alpha value is dropped from formats not supporting
'keyword' will find the nearest match for the color
in RGB space. This is implemented with as an O(N) algorithm; and thus
is not very efficient.
hex3(), hex6()
Alpha values are not supported by this format and are implicitly dropped during the conversion.
rgb8(), rgba8()
These methods return the color as an array of 0-255 ranged color components.
rgba8() format is the format used internally for pixels in
CANVAS elements and can be useful for manipulating canvas
pixel colors.
float3(), float4()
packed_rgba(), packed_argb()
These methods return the color as a single packed, unsigned integer. (The demo below displays the results as a hexidecimal string as well simply for the convenience of the reader.)

By Alex Stevens
Rangers are planning to attract fresh talent by copying a Tottenham initiative that recruits four players a year for the London giants.
Spurs hold 'bring a friend' trials on a set day every summer at their training ground in a bid to bring new players into the academy system without having to go direct to the players.
Rangers academy chief Craig Mulholland is set to implement a similar system at Rangers this summer and take better advantage of the club's reputation and location.
"We are trying a range of new initiatives, we have tried bio-banding and now we're holding open trials," Mulholland told the official Rangers website.
"They do it at the likes of Ajax and other successful clubs. Effectively you open the training ground for a day for players at Under-10 level and it will be all levels and abilities.
"Our scouts will be there to select the best players, it is a recruitment drive to try and find the best talent.
"We are also going to do things like Tottenham do which is a bring a friend day. We ask all the players to bring a friend along who can play and Spurs sign four players a year from that."
Spurs have established a reputation as having one of the outstanding academies in English football, with a succession of young players graduating from the youth set-up into the first team.
Harry Kane, Danny Rose, Ryan Mason, Tom Carroll, Andros Townsend and Nabil Bentaleb are among those who have established themselves in the senior set-up in recent seasons.
At Rangers, Mulholland has nearly doubled the amount of scouts the Academy employs over the past season to increase the club's chance of finding future first-team stars.
He is well aware of how important the youth system needs to be at the club like Rangers who require their senior squad to be peppered with home-grown talent.
He told the Rangers website: "We will still do the traditional scouting on the side of the pitch but what we're trying to do is make it a bit more innovative to make sure we get the best players to come to Rangers.
"When I go away with the teams to tournaments there are other big clubs there but all people want to do is talk about Rangers.
"This club is a massive draw and people want to come and play for Rangers so what we need to do is find the best ways of identifying that talent and then bring them into the academy.
"We have some super players in the academy right now but we are always looking for better.
"This year our scouting pool has increased from about 13 or 14 scouts to 25 so immediately we are improving the amount of players we can look at but ultimately the quality which comes into the academy."
In other Tottenham transfer news, a Premier League club have launched a bid to sign a 23-year-old Spurs attacker.

Chief marketing officer Kim Manley, 46, who was responsible for Allied's multi-million pound advertising and marketing budget, has been credited by industry observers with turning round the fortunes of the £5.6bn drinks company.
He was suspended in September after allegations by another Allied employee about 'inappropriate conduct'.
An internal investigation is now under way at the company that owns brands such as Beefeater gin, Malibu, Perrier-Jouet champagne and Harveys Bristol cream.
A company spokesman said the inquiry was 'an internal matter' and Allied was unhappy it had come to light. He claimed it had no obligation to disclose the probe as Manley was not a main board director.
However, Manley, an Australian, is a director of Allied's spirits and wine division, which owns or controls 90% of its sales volume, and is still listed as head of marketing on the company's website.
Financial Mail has been told that it is not only Manley under investigation, but a group of employees in his department.
The situation is thought to centre on Allied's arrangements with its suppliers such as research companies and advertising agencies.
The spokesman denied this, though he admitted he did not know details of the allegations. He said there had been no financial irregularity and stressed the issue was not of financial significance to investors.
However, another company spokesman implied that money had been involved. 'It's both personal and financial,' he said.
Rumours began to circulate within the company after it was noticed that Manley, a senior figure in the company, did not attend Allied's results meeting in October.
A source said Allied Domecq had been terrified that the news of the inquiry would emerge and overshadow the company's annual results.
Speaking outside his luxury home in fashionable Hampstead, north-west London, Manley told Financial Mail that he was 'shocked and disappointed' that the company had confirmed his suspension without warning him that the news was about to be made public.
Manley has been made the subject of a legal covenant that forbids him from discussing the investigation with anyone at Allied Domecq.
But Manley said he stuck by his team. He claimed he was involved because he is chief marketing officer.
Manley said: 'When you are paid big bucks, the buck stops with you.'

Police arrested one of two suspects in an armed robbery that occurred early Tuesday morning in the 700 block of Carondelet Street near Lafayette Square.
The victim, 28, was walking just after 1 a.m. when two suspects surrounded him. The first suspect — Eric McBride, 43, who was later apprehended by police — came up on a bike, while the second suspect, who is still at large, came up behind the victim with a handgun, according to police records.
McBride allegedly demanded the victim's valuables while the second suspect held a gun to his head.
They both then fled with the victim's IPhone 5, wallet and watch, according to a police release.
Police found McBride hiding behind a vehicle, while canvassing shortly after the incident and arrested him.
Detectives are looking into McBride's possible involvement in other local robberies, according to a police release.
