The goal of the continuing professional education (CPE) policy is to ensure that all CISAs maintain an adequate level of current knowledge and proficiency in the field of information systems audit, control and security.
Changes to the ISACA certification CPE policies have been made in the following area: Passing related professional examinations (no limit). Effective for CPE earned on and after 1 January 2014, two (2) times the number of CPE hours are earned for each examination hour when a passing score is achieved on a related professional examination This change went into effect 1 January 2014 and has been approved by the Credentialing and Career Management Board. The change is universal and applies equally to all ISACA certifications. Translated version of the CPE policies are currently in process and will be posted once available.
The Goal Certification Requirements Audits of Continuing Education Hours Revocation, Reconsideration and Appeal Retired and Non-Practicing CISA Qualifying Educational Activities Calculating CPE Hours
CISAs who successfully comply with the CPE policy will be better trained to assess information systems and technology and provide leadership and value to their organization.
The responsibility for setting the CPE requirements rests with the CISA Certification Committee. The Committee oversees the continuing professional education process and requirements to ensure their applicability.
How to Earn CPE
CPE for Mentoring
Verification of Attendance Form
Annual Maintenance FeeISACA members: US $45ISACA nonmembers: US $85
Individuals who are renewing 3 or more ISACA certifications will receive a discount on the 3rd and 4th renewal fees. For 2014 renewal the discount is $20 for members and $35 for nonmembers.
The CISA CPE policy requires the attainment of CPE hours over an annual and three-year certification period. CISAs must comply with the following requirements to retain certification:
Failure to comply with these certification requirements will result in the revocation of an individual's CISA designation. In addition, as all certificates are owned by ISACA, if revoked, the certificate must be destroyed immediately.
The annual reporting period begins on 1 January of each year. The three-year certification period varies and is indicated on each annual invoice and on the letter confirming annual compliance.
For newly certified CISAs, the annual and three-year certification period begins on 1 January of the year succeeding certification. Reporting CPE hours attained during the year of certification is not required. However, hours attained between the date of certification and 31 December of that year can be used and reported as hours earned in the initial reporting period.
To renew the CISA certification requires payment of the maintenance fee and reporting of CPE hours. Invoice notification is sent both via email and hard copy invoice in the third quarter of each calendar year by ISACA to all CISAs.
Payment of the annual maintenance fee can be done online at www.isaca.org/renew. CPE can be recorded as they are earned in the >MyISACA > MyCertification > Manage My CPE page of the web site. Certifieds can also renew by submitting the information on the annual renewal invoice. Payment and reporting of CPE hours is due by 1 January to retain certification.
CISAs who report the required number of CPE hours and submit maintenance fees, in full, in a timely manner will receive a confirmation from ISACA international headquarters. This confirmation will include the number of CPE hours accepted for the annual reporting period, hours reported for past years within the three-year certification period and the number of hours required to qualify for the fixed three-year certification period. It is the responsibility of each CISA to notify ISACA international headquarters promptly of any errors or omissions in this confirmation.
Individual use of the CISA logo (on items such as business cards, web sites, marketing or promotional materials) is not permitted because it can imply endorsement or affiliation on ISACA's behalf of that person's products or services. Individuals can use the CISA acronym after their name (e.g., John Q. Customer, CISA in lieu of the logo).
Those chosen for an audit must provide written evidence of previously reported activities that meet the criteria described in the Qualifying Professional Education Activities. Please send copies of supporting documentation, since documents will not be returned. The CISA Certification Committee will determine the acceptance of hours for specific professional educational activities. Those individuals who do not comply with the audit will have their CISA certification revoked.
Documentation should be retained for 12 months following the end of each 3-year reporting cycle. Documentation should be in the form of a letter, certificate of completion, attendance roster, Verification of Attendance form or other independent attestation of completion. At a minimum, each record should include the name of the attendee, name of the sponsoring organization, activity title, activity description, activity date, and the number of CPE hours awarded or claimed.
CISAs who fail to comply with the CISA CPE Policy will have their CISA credential revoked and will no longer be allowed to present themselves as a CISA. Individuals who have their CISA certification revoked will be required to take and pass the CISA exam and submit a completed application for CISA certification.
Individuals whose certification has been revoked due to noncompliance with the CPE policy and who later appeal for reinstatement may incur an additional reinstatement fee of $50. This reinstatement fee is effective for those reinstated after 1 January 2013 (when the revocation had been outstanding more than 60 days) and is in addition to any back or current certification maintenance fees needed to bring the certified individual in compliance with the CPE policy. Appeals undertaken by a certification exam taker, certification applicant or by a certified individual are undertaken at the discretion and cost of the exam taker, applicant or individual. For more information about the Appeals Policy visit www.isaca.org/appeals.
CISAs are entitled to apply for retired CISA status if over 55 years of age and permanently retired from the CISA profession, or unable to perform the duties of an IS audit, control or security professional by reason of permanent disability. CISAs granted this status are no longer required to obtain CPE hours.
CISAs who are no longer working in the IS audit, control or security profession are entitled to apply for nonpracticing CISA status. Requests for the nonpracticing status must be received by ISACA no later than 1 January and accompanied with your annual invoice. CISAs granted this status are not required to obtain CPE hours, but are required to pay the annual maintenance fee. Once the individual has returned to the profession, they are required to return to active status. Although previously permitted, CISAs in nonpracticing or retired status cannot use "CISA" or "CISA-nonpracticing" on business cards.
CISAs interested in filing for a retired or nonpracticing CISA status can do so by contacting the certification department via telephone at +1.847.660.5660, via fax at +1.847.253.1755 or via e-mail at email@example.com, or by completing the Application for CISA Non-Practicing Status:

Activities that qualify for CPE include technical and managerial training. This training must be directly applicable to the assessment of information systems or the improvement of audit, control, security or managerial skills (CISA job practice) to ensure a proper balance of professional development is attained.
CPE hours related to management skills must be relevant to management of audits and/or audit resources. CPE hours are not accepted for on-the-job activities unless they fall into a specific qualifying professional education activity. Training in basic office productivity software, such as Microsoft Word or Excel, does not qualify as CPE. Specific activities have annual CPE hour limits. CPE can be reported in quarter hour increments.
The following categories of qualifying activities and limits have been approved by the CISA Certification Committee and are acceptable for CPE:
One CPE hour is earned for each fifty (50) minutes of active participation (excluding lunches and breaks) for qualifying ISACA and non-ISACA professional educational activities and meetings. CPE hours can be earned in quarter-hour increments and can also be reported in quarter hours (rounded to the nearest quarter hour). For example, a CISA who attends an 8-hour presentation (480 minutes) with 90 minutes of breaks will earn 7.75 continuing professional education hours.
Sample Calculation
Calculation of CPE Hours
390 minutes divided by 50 minutes = 7.8 or 7.75 CPE hours (rounded to the nearest quarter hour)

Child's Play: 20th Anniversary Edition (US - DVD R1)
Gabe revisits the killer doll, and his pre-comedy first theatrical release...
Little Andy Barclay (Alex Vincent) only wants one thing for his birthday this year—a talking Good Guy doll. Unfortunately, the one his mother (Catherine Hicks) purchases from a hobo contains the soul of serial killer Charles Lee Ray (Brad Dourif). Mayhem ensues.
Frankly speaking, Child's Play really should've been a steaming pile of stinky B-movie excreta. It's a silly idea on paper, it depends on unrealistic levels of performance from all the players, and frankly I don't understand why any studio head would want to sign off on the project. But I suppose one can't underestimate those ingrained childhood fears, because Chucky birthed four sequels, and apparently a reboot is in the works.
The killer doll thing isn't original on film (Chucky's inspiration was stuff like The Twilight Zone, Magic, and Trilogy of Terror), and neither are the film's voodoo aspects, but the cops and robbers element is a pretty sweet touch, as are the parts where Andy's sanity is put into question (not that that's particularly original either though). It's funny looking back on the original film, because it works best as a suspense movie, and the two most recent films in the series were almost entirely comedies (not that the original is entirely without a sense of humour). If it hadn't been for two incredibly terrible sequels (British readers will likely have different terrifying connotations with the third film in the series), who knows what might have happened to the series?
I gotta be honest, I genuinely dislike every other movie director Tom Holland has touched (not including his script work on Class of 1984 and Psycho 2), but for some reason he managed to squeeze a whole lot suspense out of what should've been a ridiculously stupid film. I think a lot of the credit in this case should go to the cast, who manage to act about as realistically and dramatically as possible given the situation. It's actually a wonder how such a silly script managed to score such a good cast (seriously, two Academy Award nominees?), but to Holland's credit he finds an effective balance between the realistic and fantastic elements, and fully exploit that fear we all had of creepy dolls as children.
I'm actually quite surprised how well the film stands up, especially the Chucky effects, which did improve over the years, but not that fantastically. I can obviously tell that some shots feature a motionless doll, some shots feature a mechanical doll, and other shots feature a midget in Chucky clothes, but it mostly works. There are only a few shots that really pull you out of your suspension of disbelief. The fact that the character isn't supposed to be organic definitely helps things, but it's still pretty impressive looking back. The optical effects used to represent the voodoo's effect on the environment aren't quite as memorable.
For region one fans this new release is obviously the way to go, because it's the first time MGM USA has made the film available in widescreen. The widescreen availability overrides any other minor issues the transfer may have, though there are some negatives to address. The colours are ever so slightly muted, though natural and pretty solidly separated. Overall the print suffers moderate noise and grain, but these shortcomings aren't consistently an issue. There's generally more grain towards the beginning of the film. The print isn't exactly sharp either, and some of the more brightly lit sequences appear downright fuzzy, though in comparison to the original 1.33 release these edges are downright granite. Given the film's age and price tag I can't imagine Child's Play looking much better, even on Blu-ray, which would probably just sharpen the finer grain.
This disc is also region one's first listen to Child's Play in 5.1 surround. For the most part the 5.1 remix isn't different enough from the original 2.0 track to garner celebration, but some of the more moody musical moments actually sound quite impressive echoing through the rear channels. The surround sound effects don't really match the audio quality of the stereo effects, leading me to believe that the remix involved the use of new stock material. Some of the centred dialogue features a bit of a tinny echo, but is generally clean and well blended into the other audio.
There's a whole lot of commentary going on here. The various participants split into two tracks, the first featuring actors Alex Vincent (Andy) and Catherine Hicks (mom), and Chucky designer Kevin Yagher. Vincent has obviously been recorded separately from Hicks and Yagher (who are married). Yagher and Hicks both sound a bit sleepy, but bounce stuff off each other pretty effectively, and Vincent's memory of the filming process is pretty admirable considering his age at the time. The other track features producer David Kirschner and writer Don Mancini, who have the distinction of working on all five Chucky movies. Mancini rocks this track the hardest, and fills us in on some of the originally scripted moments that got away. The disc also features four select scenes with a 'Chucky commentary', which is really just Brad Dourif kind of making an ass out of himself. I don't think ad-libbing in character is one of his strongest suits.
Next is a three-part featurette called 'Evil Comes in Small Packages'. Part One is entitled 'The Birth of Chucky', and is a specific look at the genesis of the project, including the differences between the original and final script (the original script actually sounds more interesting, but wouldn't have needed Brad Dourif, or have led to so many sequels), the development of the pre-production, and the general bringing together of talents (I'm still shocked that there was so much studio interest).
'Creating the Horror' is a look at casting and production, including interviews with every major player. Alex Vincent and Catherine Hicks tend to repeat themselves a bit from the commentary, but it's nice to hear Chris Sarandon and Brad Dourif's thoughts on the project. It's also fun to see the original rehearsal footage, where Dourif acted as Chucky. Also included in this section is all the behind the scenes of the Chucky puppeteers, and actor Ed Gale scurrying about in a double sized set.
'Unleashed' is all about the editing of Child's Play. Apparently the film went through many cuts and test audiences before release. All the cast and crew members involved with the featurette give up their final thoughts on the subject. Obviously missing from these retrospective featurettes is director Holland, who is only included in archive form. All together the featurette runs about twenty five minutes.
'Chucky: Building a Nightmare' concerns itself with Kevin Yagher and his work on the film with the doll effects. Interview footage, including words from special effects maestros Tom Savini, Alex Gilles and Tom Woodruff Jr., is intercut with behind the scenes footage of the construction of the doll, insuring that pretty much every how-to base is covered in a brief ten minutes.
The rest of the disc runs out with footage from the 2007 Monster Mania Child's Play reunion panel (which actually only features Vincent, Hicks, and Sarandon), a vintage EPK (most of this footage found its way into the new featurettes), the original theatrical trailer, a photo gallery, and trailers for Mr. Brooks and Pathology.
Child's Play held up better then I remembered, and this new release is a must own for fans clamouring for audio commentaries, 5.1 surround sound, and above all, anamorphic widescreen video. Personally, I'd like to recommend Stuart Gordon's creepy toy horror comedy Dolls, which was made one year before Child's Play, and which is also available from MGM DVD.

Too many blogs, too little time-or maybe just a bad memory!
Yes, the Sensa did work. I lost about 30 pounds! Now, I'm trying the raspberry ketones, because the belly fat is a monster to lose. I've been using it for 2.5 months. I guess it's working.
A cool website to check out is www.myfitnesspal.com. It has most of calorie count, carb count, etc. . . for most of the packaged foods. You can also add foods. Go, check it out, you'll see what I mean.
If anyone has had success with the Raspberry ketones, let me know the brand!
Keep losing and stay healthy, divas!

WORCESTER, Mass. – Down 3-0 going into the eighth inning, MIT scored once in the eighth and then three times in the ninth to rally past Worcester State, 4-3, in non-conference baseball action this afternoon at Rockwood Park. Junior Creed Mangrum (Sandy, Utah) and sophomore Hayden Cornwell (Newport Beach, Calif.) smacked back-to-back doubles in the ninth to win it for the Engineers.
Worcester State (12-16) scored its runs early with one in the first and a pair in the third. Steve Wallace led off the bottom of the first with a single, stole second and moved to third on an errant throw to second, and then scored on a base hit off the bat of David Ruggiero. In the third the Lancers got things started with a leadoff single and a double down the line in right to put runners on second and third. Ruggiero's grounder to third was misplayed for an error, allowing one run to score, before Zach George followed with an RBI single to make it 3-0.
The MIT (18-6) bullpen stepped in after the third and blanked Worcester State the rest of the way, allowing just five hits over the final six innings. Junior Brandon Lowe (Brier, Wash.) was the first out of the pen and tossed three innings of scoreless ball. He was followed by freshman Eric Tu (San Roman, Calif.), freshman Michael Wymer (Flower Mound, Texas) and senior Aric Dama (Winfield, Ill.), who all threw a scoreless inning in relief.
MIT's offense was held in check by Worcester State starter, Cody Osburn, who gave up nine hits over seven innings, while striking out five and issuing one walk.
After being blanked for seven innings, MIT finally got on the board in the eighth when the Engineers received singles from Mangrum, Cornwell, and senior Ricardo Perez (Vienna, Va.) to load the bases with no one out. Sophomore Parker Tew (Chapel Hill, N.C.) then brought in the first run with a sac fly to left. Nick Bonofiglio, who came in from the pen to start the eighth, then got of the jam by striking out the next two hitters to end the threat.
Alex Teal then came on to pitch the ninth for the Lancers to close it out, but immediately got into trouble when he walked the first two hitters he faced. Senior James McKinney (Wakefield, R.I.) sacrificed both runners into scoring position for Mangrum, who doubled to right to tie the game. Cornwell then parked his double in right center, putting MIT on top for the first time in the contest.
Dama then finished things off with a perfect ninth to record the save, with Wymer picking up his first collegiate win with his scoreless eighth. Mangrum and Cornwell each went 3-for-5 in the game to account for six of the 14 MIT hits, with Mangrum scoring twice and driving in a pair, and Cornwell banging out a pair of doubles. Wallace was 3-for-4 for Worcester State, scoring twice, while Ruggiero drove in a pair for the Lancers.
MIT will host No. 11 Wheaton College on Friday at Briggs Field in its next contest as the Engineers and Lyons open a three-game NEWMAC series between the top two teams in the league standings. The two will square off at 3:30 p.m. Worcester State will play again tomorrow at Fisher College at 7:00 p.m.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Photo Shoot
|Playboy X
Head over to Playboy X's loft at the north end of Algonquin. When you arrive, you'll find him playing pool by himself. But he has some issues he needs Niko to take care of, as well. Even though Playboy X considers himself as hard as it gets, not everyone feels that way. In fact, some people have been pretty vocal about calling him out, calling him a rat and things of this nature. Naturally, Playboy X wants something to be done about this, and contracts you to go take care of problems for him. However, when he explains who he wants you to take care of, he confuses the issue more than is necessary. So, he hands over a camera that you will use to take a picture of the target before doing anything to verify it's him.
When you find yourself back outside, boost a car and take the brief drive to your destination on Exeter Avenue. In fact, the location is so close, you don't even really have to drive there -- you could just as easily walk. Either way, when you arrive to the predetermined location, the game will show you a trio of guys hanging out on the basketball court, just as X described. The game will then instruct you to take a picture.

Every year Christmas comes a little bit early for teams with roster spots to fill as the free agent market gets flooded with a crop of players who are non-tendered by their teams. These are hardly the kind of Christmas gifts that people line up at midnight on Black Friday to get their hands on seeing how players who get non-tendered only achieve their new free agent status by not being worth the projected arbitration salary they were going to earn. Still, it is the thought that counts, right?
Non-tenders are more like the gifts of necessity you get. You may have really wanted that Playstation 4, but you really needed an eight-pack of gym socks. Ladies and gentlemen, these are those gym socks.
Let's take a look at who some of the best non-tenders who can be the disappointing gift under your favorite team's Christmas tree this holiday season.
J.P. Arencibia
Arencibia wasn't good enough for the Jays, but he might now be the second-best catcher on the free agent market. That doesn't mean he should be coveted though. What earns Arencibia a spot on this list is that he has hit between 18 and 23 homers each of the last three seasons. If you want dingers from your catcher, Arencibia is your man. The problem is that you have to not want OBP or defense. Arencibia is coming off an atrocious .227 OBP in 2013 and carries a career .258 OBP. Defensively, Arencibia throws well enough, but he is a very poor receiver. He certainly doesn't do enough with the glove to atone for all the outs he makes with his bat. As a back-up, Arencibia would be fine, but anyone looking to make him a starter is in a lot of trouble.
John Axford
Axford could be the real gem amongst this reliever heavy crop. It was only two years ago that Axford was an All-Star closer, but he has since fallen on hard times. However, after getting traded to the Cardinals last August, Axford seemed to recapture some of his old form. He believes it was because he had been tipping his pitches, an issue the Cards clued him into. If that is really the case, he could be a real bargain for a team looking for late inning help.
Andrew Bailey
Say it with me now, when healthy, Andrew Bailey can be an excellent reliever. Of course, Bailey is almost never healthy. At this point, his arm seems to be held together with duct tape and rubber cement, but some team is certain to offer him an incentive-laden contract to hope that they luck into a rare stretch of good health from Bailey. Keep in mind though that Bailey likely won't be ready until mid-season though.
Chris Coghlan
Coghlan won the NL Rookie of the Year in 2009, but he has been up and down between the majors and minors ever since. He has never been able to replicate the offensive success he found his rookie season, but he could make for a cheap platoon option in left field. Coghlan has limited experience at third base and second base as well, so perhaps he could find a team looking to convert him to a full blown utilityman.
Tommy Hanson
In 2011, Hanson looked like one of the best up and coming young starters in baseball, since then, his shoulder has betrayed him. The pitching desperate Angels didn't think he was worth the $4 million he was projected to earn, so that should tell you how much faith there is in him turning things around. However, there is faint hope with Hanson. He had a few starts last season where he went back to his pre-injury mechanics and recovered some of his lost velocity. He really lit up the radar gun late in the season working in relief, so there might be an interesting opportunity to convert him into a high impact bullpen piece.
Garrett Jones
Despite having the best first name in the world, Jones is coming off of a rough season in which he posted a .289 OBP and hit a career-low 15 homers. Considering that Jones faced almost exclusively right-handed pitching, that is a line for teams to swallow, explaining why Pittsburgh decided to cut him loose. Jones seems like a solid bet for a bounce back year though as he does still boast a career 109 wRC+. He is strictly a platoon player who is a defensive liability, but for an AL team looking for a platoon bat at DH or off the bench, Jones has the kind of home run power to garner a fair amount of interest.
Justin Turner
In a world where Skip Schumaker and Willie Bloomquist are getting nearly $6 million, Justin Turner could be a nice alternative for teams looking for a utility infielder. Turner has a respectable 93 wRC+ for his career and has experience playing every position in the infield, though he has not graded out as a particularly good fielder. Still, as a cheap option off the bench, you could do a lot worse.
Ryan Webb
A ground ball specialist, Webb is coming off a BABIP-aided 2.91 ERA in 2013, but the penny-pinching Marlins still felt that he was going to be too expensive. Webb may not miss many bats, but he induces a ton of grounders, keeps the ball in the park and has fairly even platoon splits. He is an ideal middle relief workhorse.
Jerome Williams
Williams might be the least sexy name on this list, but he is likely to land a rotation spot somewhere. He has posted a 4.57 and 4.58 ERAs the last two seasons, which isn't going to blow any skirts up, but it is good enough for him to fill a fifth starter spot in the back of several rotations where he can soak up 175 innings for relatively cheap.
Wesley Wright
Wright hasn't been terribly effective in his career, but he throws with his left arm and has a detectable pulse. That alone should garner him some interest and likely a big league contract.

9 mumps cases diagnosed at U. of Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, IL (AP) – University of Illinois officials say nine students on the Urbana-Champaign campus have been diagnosed with mumps. The cases are part of an outbreak that has already produced more cases this year than the state saw in all of 2013.
Dr. Robert Palinkas is director of the campus McKinley Health Center. He tells The News-Gazette the nine cases have all been diagnosed since spring break. A faculty member has what may be a 10th case.
Palinkas said the students were all vaccinated. But he said the vaccine is only 80 to 85 percent effective.
The Illinois Department of Public Health says 65 other cases have been confirmed this year. Most are in Morgan and Sangamon counties in central Illinois.
Last year the state had a total of 26 mumps cases.

text: The LEUPOLD RCX-1 Trail Camera System Kit (112201) is featuring innovative "plug and play" technology that simplifies the process of taking and retrieving images of game in the field. The "hub" of the RCX Trail Camera System is an exclusive handheld USB Controller/Viewer, which plugs into the USB jack in the camera to give you complete control of your system. Get real-time alignment of the camera's view, instant access to all program settings, and all of the images that have been captured. Download high-resolution photos (color or infrared) and video right in the field, without making multiple trips to and from your home or truck to check SD cards. A TFT-LCD (thin film transistor liquid crystal display) active matrix 3" display gives you the complete picture right in the palm of your hand. Quickly scan, zoom, delete or transfer your photos and video, make adjustments as needed to the camera's setting and position, and move on to the next camera. Then plug the controller into your home computer to download your pictures and videos to your hard drive. The RCX-1 delivers both high-resolution color (day) and infrared (night) still images, as well as a video option to capture game activity in your area. The advanced system uses CMOS sensor technology similar to that found in higher-end camcorders to produce tremendously sharp, crisp 8 megapixel images. For exceptionally clear images at night, the RCX-1 provides 36 PIR LEDs combined with XD image processing and advanced auto-exposure calculations. A special day/night sensor allows the camera to quickly adjust exposure as light levels change and to activate the infrared (IR) system at night. The RXC-1 camera offers a lightning fast, less than one second trigger speed. This "blink-of-an-eye" speed, combined with Dual Sensor Technology (DST) and a wide angle 54-degree camera lens, means you'll capture more images of full bodies and racks rather than ears and rears. This quick trigger speed while in "Most Picture Mode" will capture more pictures than other cameras on the market. Even though the RCX-1 Trail Camera System is so simple to use, it also offers more customizable features than any other camera in the field. You have multiple options for file type/size, picture quality, sensitivity (auto or four levels - low to super high), time lapse, temperature, multi-picture mode, event delay, operation hours, video quality/length, separate day/night settings and camera name. This camera also offers custom picture stamp with date, time, temperature, and moon. The RCX-1 camera frame is constructed of a durable, high-impact ABS/polycarbonate blend shell for maximum strength and protection for the internal elements. Tested to a rigorous accelerated weather and UV exposure test, the RCX-1 will deliver the dependable, reliable performance you need to locate and pattern your trophy animal, season after season. The RCX cameras will operate continuously for months using eight AA Lithium batteries. The battery cartridge tray can be pre-loaded and quickly installed into the camera in the field. The camera units also offer 12-volt external battery capabilities. RCX cameras and the controller/viewer can be purchased separately or in kits. This model includes RCX-1 camera, USB Controller/Viewer, 12-volt cable, car adapter, home adapter, USB cable, AA battery pack cartridge tray (batteries not included), Lithium-Ion battery for Controller/Viewer, six hex standoffs for mounting, and mounting strap. Price: $229.90

Hey guys I found on the net a tool I didn't know about:
LIDS (Linux IDS): basicaly an File System IDS & integrity checker. http://www.lids.org/
Sound like a good tool does anyone have feedback about it?
[shadow] SHARING KNOWLEDGE[/shadow]
Nice tool! I've used Snort (www.snort.org) for the longest time, and I think it's pretty much your best all around IDS system... HOWEVER, from what I've seen on their webpage, LIDS offers a whole lot!
I think one of the coolest features is actually the local security features, as opposed to the network security features that IDS systems usually limit themselves to. I'm going to install LIDS on my box and see what it can do.
Installed... and been messing with it for a bit... I do like it, but I'd still take Snort over it :-/
I'm a big fan of portsentry my self
IT, e-commerce, Retail, Programme & Project Management, EPoS, Supply Chain and Logistic Services. Yorkshire. http://www.bigi.uk.com
yeap! is a good tool.
maybe u wanna test Advanced Intrusion Detection Enviroment: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~rammer/aide.html
Is a nice tool too.
See u!
There are basicly 2 types of IDSs. Host based and network based. LIDS is a host based IDS and Snort is a network based IDS. Therefor these 2 cannot be compared to each other as they both have a different 'field of view'.

David Giuntoli plays Det. Nick Burkhardt on NBC's "Grimm," which is one of the struggling network's bright spots. The supernatural procedural tells the tale of a Portland police detective who discovers that he's a descendant of the Grimms, who not only chronicled strange beasts in their fairy tales but also hunted them to keep the human world safe. He can see these creatures, called Wesen, even when they hide in human form, and many of them are out to get him. Show Tracker was able to talk to the busy actor before the second half of the season begins March 8.
Your earliest fairy tale memories are ...
Either seeing drawings or watching movies where I was physically attracted to Cinderella or Snow White. I didn't get out of the house much, and those were some fine-looking cartoon ladies. Being afraid was [also] a huge part of my childhood and my psyche. I would get read stories and my mind would kind of wander and I'd just get destroyed. Very active imagination -- thinking that these animals were in my room. The erotica and the fear of fairy tales are what's stuck in my mind.
So for your first day on set ... did anything freak you out?
The idea that I was the lead of a show. It was all a blur. It was 16-hour days, 15 days in a row shooting the pilot. I remember I was in bed shooting a scene with Bitsie [Tulloch, who plays his girlfriend, Juliette], and I'd worked with her before, and we just looked at each other and said, 'Oh, this is happening.' Then Russell [Hornsby, who plays his partner] and Silas [Weir Mitchell, who plays a werewolf named Monroe] came up to watch us cause they weren't shooting a scene. It was just kind of surreal.
Talk about preparing for the role, as both a cop and a supernatural enforcer.
The cop thing. Well I did ridealongs with the Portland Police Department, and they've been amazing. That was very helpful. As far as the supernatural part ... I didn't want to watch other supernatural shows like "Angel" where David Greenwalt came from. I kind of wanted "Grimm" to become whatever it was going to become. People would ask is it going to be like "X-Files" or like "Buffy," and I didn't want to answer those ... I didn't want to put the cart before the horse. So I stayed away from that stuff as much as I could.
There've been some twists in the show. Did the writers surprise you with anything?
There were some moments where I realized that the character was -- at the end of the first season -- starting to enjoy this crazy thing that happened to his whole life. There was a scene at the end where he was telling Juliette everything and it was kind of like realizing how amazing the whole phenomenon is -- that he can see these people. It was fun to find that and realize that this is the point where he likes it -- this is where it all changes.
And then the floor falls out from under you.
Yeah, exactly. But that's like every day -- even for me. Sometimes we get these guest stars.... They get these full bodies made up in Burbank and they bring them up to Portland, and then they kill the fake guest star. So, I just met this dude in the trailer, or some woman, and then I'll turn around and see their corpse torn apart. It's very bizarre and ... jarring.
PHOTOS: Creating cadavers by makeup artist Barney Burman
Do you give input on the creature side of things and how Nick reacts to them?
I don't get in the way of the expertise of these guys -- this guy named Barney Burman who's won award after award for making creatures -- I don't want to get in the way of that at all. My input is in how I react to these things now. I'm always thinking, 'I'm not at all afraid of these things anymore.' I mean, I hate them, but I'm not afraid anymore. Sometimes we have discussions creatively about that, but I let the experts do their expert thing.
Many shows don't fare too well on Fridays, unless you're "X-Files." What do you think is the key to your success?
I worship the law of low expectations. I bow at the alter of low expectations. Friday was a gift to us in a lot of ways. I don't know if it signifies anything from the network -- what they think of the show or what they think is going to happen with the show -- but weren't expecting it to be this breakout Friday hit. When it was, it was so wonderfully sweet. I don't think it's a show that belongs on any other night of the week. It's Friday night fantasy and horror ... I love the fact that families stay in to watch it together. What does it take? I don't know -- it takes a good show. It takes creativity and you need good people. All the pieces have to work. You can't throw a [bad] show up on Friday night and expect it to succeed. It won't. But, I love low expectations, and I love being a surprise.
What should fans expect for the last part of the season?
"Grimm" likes to ... there are very deeply disturbed men and women in the writers' room, and they keep getting more and more stomach churningly gross with the murders and the crimes. Expect gorier stuff in general, grosser creatures. But in the story arc, you're going to learn a lot about the greater world at large, and the reason for the key and why all of these creatures are trying to kill me. There are greater power structures at play that I don't even know about yet ... but really, what you can expect is more blood.

Police posted a court-approved closing order at The Falls and padlocked the bar last Friday.
Underage sales, after-hours violation close Falls
By Jefferson Siegel
Last Friday afternoon police descended on The Falls, the now-notorious Lafayette St. bar where John Jay student Imette St. Guillen was last seen alive in February before she was murdered.
The police drilled out a lock, entered the space to make sure it was empty, posted three bright red Closed signs and pulled down the gates. Several copies of a court order were taped to the bottom of the gate.
Darryl Littlejohn, who was working the door at the bar the night St. Guillen was there, has been charged with her murder. The Falls employed him without performing a background check. He was not registered to be a bouncer, which is a violation of state law.
The closing may have been accelerated by the murder case but the bar was ultimately shuttered under a Police Department nuisance abatement action. The court order cited the bar for three instances of selling alcohol to a minor and one charge of selling alcohol after hours since the start of the year.
Littlejohns employment at the bar and subsequent arrest figured prominently in the written decision: The operators of The Falls brazenly continue to allow such activity which endangers their patrons and the surrounding community, the order said. It is clear that a closing order is the only effective remedy to abate this serious public nuisance.
The order also noted that, The community has severely suffered and continues to suffer, as a result of the illegal activities taking place at the bar.
Late Friday night, Sean Sweeney, director of the Soho Alliance, writer Jeff Ragsdale and Assembly candidate Esther Yang stood quietly near the lowered gate, noting that it took a murder to precipitate the closing. The three have organized and participated in numerous protests against the bar following St. Guillens murder.
Its about time, Sweeney said. Its unfortunate it took a womans death for this place to close down.
Thankfully, this hellhole is shut down, Ragsdale agreed. Mardi Gras in New York is finished, he said. We want to send a clear message that this is a starting point. We need to do the due diligence and weed this stuff [scofflaw bars] out so we can be safe.
Yang recently met with St. Guillens family.
They should have closed it down when Imette died, she said. It just prolonged the pain they were going through. Yang emphasized she was not against bar owners. Im pro-nightlife, but this is the type of bar owner that brings a bad name to good bar owners.
Perhaps the most damning statement against the bar and its owners was made in a two-page affidavit by Detective Michael Dorto.
Interviews with the bars management and their employees regarding the aforementioned homicide were rife with inconsistencies and faulty information, Dorto said. Furthermore, the owner of the subject premises has been unwilling to assist with the investigation.
Police charge that the bars owners didnt disclose details of Littlejohns interaction with St. Guillen until a week after her body was found, delaying the investigation.
The Dorrian family was expected to be in court on Wednesday to appeal the closing order. Under a nuisance abatement action, a judge can allow a bar to reopen if the owners agree to strictly adhere to rules set under an agreement with police and the court.
The S.L.A. a few weeks ago began a process that could lead to the permanent closing of The Falls.

Home Decor: Using What you Have
It really is amazing what you can find in your own house or garage that can be used for home decor. Look around your home with a creative mind - could that stool or bench be used for something else? Could that dusty old shelf in the basement be revived with a fresh coat of paint? I have started doing this lately and I can't believe some of the stuff I have found. Jars make pretty vases, old art becomes new in a freshly painted frame. Before you go out and buy something new, take a look around and see if there is a different possibility right under your nose.
Jars make great vases and containers.

A flag is displayed as fun wall art.

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Making an educated treatment decision begins with the stage, or progression, of the disease. The stage of pancreatic cancer is one of the most important factors in evaluating treatment options.
In order to examine the progression of the disease, your doctor may use several tools to determine if cancer growth extends beyond the pancreas.
For example, your doctor may perform additional tests, such as a laparoscopy, chest X-ray or bone scan. A laparoscopy involves a small incision in the abdomen to closely explore the normality of the area. To ensure that the cancer is not in your chest, your doctor might also take a chest X-ray. Finally, a bone scan can tell whether or not cancer has spread to the bones.
Once the test results are in, your doctor may assign one of the three pancreatic cancer stages to the disease:
Sometimes, doctors use a classification system based on four numeric stages. This is known as the AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) staging system and is used for a variety of different cancer types, including pancreatic cancer. Using this pancreatic cancer staging system, doctors differentiate when the disease has spread to the tissue surrounding the pancreas (stage II) and when cancer has reached the blood vessels near the pancreas (stage III). This system still acknowledges the advanced stage of pancreatic cancer as metastatic.
Other times, a grade level is given to pancreatic cancer. Much like the stages of pancreatic cancer, grades help classify how aggressive the tumor is, and how likely it is to grow and spread to surrounding tissue and other locations in the body. Grade levels range between 1 and 4 with G1 (grade 1) denoting cancers that look similar to normal cells, and G4 (grade 4) denoting cancer cells that are highly abnormal in appearance.
We understand you may be feeling overwhelmed with questions and concerns about your type of cancer and what it all means. We're here to help guide you through the process.
Our team of cancer experts uses advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic technology to detect cancerous cells anywhere in the body.

Archaeology, the newest secondary profession to enter into WoW, and not one for the impatient. Archaeology takes a very long time to do. I'll be honest, fishing is more exciting than this profession. If you are a Dwarf though, you do get a racial buff, called Explorer, which allows you to Survey faster and get more fragments when you find them.
But there are some very good perks if you can stick with it. Such as rare pets, rare and epic weapons/armor(that are Bind to Account), a couple of epic mounts, and a random interesting item or three.
As with most gathering professions, when you loot a fragment, you will get experience. You also can gain access to 3 different titles when finding rare artifacts. They are Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor.
Archaeology Profession Window
The Current Artifacts tab, will show you which races you currently have artifacts for. You can then click on whichever race you see, so you can see which artifact you are currently working on.
There is one more tab, and that is the Completed Artifacts tab. Basically what that is, is just shows which artifacts you have completed. You can sort by race, and rarity.
Now onto the basics. After you train (trainers below), you will have two new things under the Professions tab in your spell book. Archaeology, and Survey.
So from now on, you will always have 4 dig sites on each continent, depending on your skill level.From 1 to 300 is Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, 300-375 will be Outlands, 375-450 you will have Northrend availible, and 450+ all the new Cataclysm zones. As your looking at the continent map, you will see small shovels, that is where one of the dig sites is located.
Now, once you have located dig site on the continent map, you can zoom into the zone to see exactly where it is, that way you can fly to the nearest flight point if that is easier.
Once you have landed near the site, and have actually gone to the site, here comes the fun part. We are basically going to be playing the Hot&Cold game now. Once inside the site you use Survey, when you do that, your survey equipment will spawn. You will notice that there is a light, depending on how close you are to the artifact fragments, will dictate on what color the light is.
Red indicates you are far away, while Yellow means you are getting closer. When it becomes Green, you should be within 40 yards of the fragments. Now as you are using Survey, you will want to pay attention to the direction of the telescope. Reason being that it will point you in the proper direction. Then when you get withing 10 yards, the Artifact Fragments will appear, just click on the sparkling item on the ground to pick them up. You will get between 2-5 every time.
Now onto the trainers, if you get lost, just ask a guard. There 12 total that I know of, they are as follows.
|NPC Name
|Dariness the Learned
|Dalaran - The Legerdemain Lounge
|Boduro the Seeker
|Shattrath - Lower City southern area
|Harrison Jones
|Stormwind City - Stormwind Keep
|Hammon the Jaded
|Darnassus - Temple of the Moon
|Falda Fardelve
|Borean Tundra - Valiance Keep
|Doktor Professor Ironpants
|Ironforge - Hall of Explorers
|Exodar - The Vault of Lights
|Otoh Greyhide
|Thunder Bluff - The Elder Rise
|Borean Tundra - Warsong Hold
|Silvermoon City - The Royal Exchange
|Belloc Brightblade
|Orgrimmar - The Valley of Strength
|Adam Hossack
|Undercity - The Magic Quarter
Leveling Archaeology
Leveling Archaeology is actually fairly simple, if not long. Up until 50 Archaeology you will level up only by looting the Artifact Fragments. As you are doing this, do not solve the Artifacts unless you reach the cap of 200 fragments for specific race.
Once you reach 50 Archaeology, to level any farther you must solve Artifacts. Every time you solve an Artifact, you will get 5 points to your skill level, solving rare Artifacts will net you 15 skill points. To let you know, you can get the same common artifact more than once. And that is leveling Archaeology in a nutshell.
Now, as you survey and get fragments, now and then you will get a Keystone there are 9 different ones you can get(there is no Keystone for Fossils). Each Keystone you get can add 12 fragments to the current artifact you are solving, making it quicker to solve it. There is a catch though, only certain artifacts will be able to have Keystones added in. Those that can will have between 1-3 Keystone slots. You can tell if your current artifact can have a keystone, by looking under the progress bar, it will have a shaded hexagon(s) there.
Troll Tablet: Adds 12 fragments to certain Troll artifacts.
Highborne Scroll: Adds 12 fragments to certain Night Elf artifacts.
Dwarf Run Stone: Adds 12 fragments to certain Dwarf artifacts.
Orc Blood Text: Adds 12 fragments to certain Orc artifacts.
Draenei Tome: Adds 12 fragments to certain Draenei artifacts.
Nerubian Obelisk: Adds 12 fragments to certain Nerubian artifacts.
Vrykul Rune Stick: Adds 12 fragments to certain Vrykul artifacts.
Tol'vir Hieroglyphic: Adds 12 fragments to certain Tol'vir artifacts.

After downloading several archaeology addons, the one I would recommend above all others is Archy. It's not a triangulation mod (so far those only seem to take MORE time to use, not less).
Archy instead displays a list of your current dig sites with awesome features like being able to click them to view the map, shows what artifacts are available at those dig sites, and has a plug in directly to TomTom to show where the next closest dig site is located. It has a list of in progress artifacts and keystones and allows you to click to complete them. It also marks where artifacts were found on the map so you can check those spots when surveying points you to places close to them. All of the features are customizable. All in all, a VERY nice addon and one I will recommend to anyone seeking to use this profession.
Where to find Artifact Fragments: race/skill
The table below is the primary locations you will find the cultures. Quick Note: Night Elf, Dwarf, Troll and Fossils can be found on both Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, just not as much on the opposite continent listed.
|Skill Needed
|Primary Location
|Night Elf
|Eastern Kingdoms

To warn you, it is possible to get just common artifacts over and over (including the same ones) for awhile until you get a rare one. With the 4.0.6 update to WoW, all of the common artifacts have had their sell values increased. So if you don't get a rare one, even though you are the right skill level, keep trying. Also, the rare artifacts will only appear once per character.
The below tables are the Rare Artifacts that you can put together. There is a minimum skill level required to be able to even solve them, which is listed as well. Below in the tables when you see, "100 + 3 sockets", that means the project can be built of 100 fragments, but also of 88 fragments and 1 keystone; 76 fragments and 2 keystones; or 64 fragments and 3 keystones.
Note for Alchemists: It is possible when getting the common item Canopic Jar, after you open it, you have a chance to get Recipe: Vial of the Sands.

Nice guide, but perhaps things have changed a bit since written. The guide reads:
"Up until 100 Archaeology you will level up only by looting the Artifact Fragments. As you are doing this, do not solve the Artifacts, that is for the next step."
However, starting at about 80 skill points, it became less frequent to get a point by simply digging up a new artifact. In fact, after the high 80s it became the exception to receive a point, and by the mid 90's surveying for points became essentially "grey" as in other professions. Two or three zones might pass without a skill point. Finally solving the hundreds of fragments that I had collected as this slow down occurred did give skill points, even below 100.
A better approach would be to keep digging until the points slow down in the mid to high 80s, then start solving. Going an hour or more without getting a point is just too frustrating.
Actually, I would point out
Submitted by kayeich on Thu, 2011-01-20 04:54.
Actually, I would point out that not getting it to 100 through digging is actually foolish, even given the slowed rate on points. This is because if you get up to 100 and then start solving all the fragments you've gathered...you're still going to need fragments to get to level 525.... LOTS MORE fragments.
Fragments that you're -not- getting skill points off of, but you could potentially gotten some off of getting it to 100. In essence, by going to 100 instead of starting at 80, you saved yourself from having to solve 4 artifacts. Which doesn't sound that impressive at first, but when you consider that it takes 30 fragments to make a -common- artifact (not to say the least if you get 'lucky' and get a rare artifact and their much larger fragment requirements)....
Though as Cracker pointed out, they're changing it so you won't get levelups after 50 points with patch 4.0.6. Which is just EVIL since it means 10 extra artifacts. Small comfort in that survey's cooldown went down at least.
Buggy or just doing it wrong?
Submitted by BrianAT on Wed, 2011-01-05 06:17.
If I zoom out to the whole continent, I can see my 4 dig sites, but if I zoom into the zone map, the red area doesn't always match up with where the shovel said it would be. If I attempt to dig there anyhow, it doesn't work. Also sometimes it puts the red dig site on an area on the zone map, but doesn't work as it doesn't match the continent map... I've even had the red dig site info move from checking the map at one point and checking it again another time, and I was still in the zone.
Or it might be my addons? I have Mapster, I may try unloading that.

For what it's worth, I use mapster as well, and haven't had problems with it. Might as well try unloading it anyway to see if it helps, but I don't -think- it's that particular addon.
Submitted by BrianAT on Wed, 2011-01-05 07:56.
It seems to be Kalimdor that is the issue... if the comments for it on the Curse page for it are correct. Unloaded for now. Map working again for archaeology. I do like Mapster though, so probably will return to it soon. I actually prefer Carbonite's map, but I don't like the bloat of the rest of Carbonite, so Mapster it is. :)
I like the profession so far though, it is fun.

Keep up the good work!
A Tol'Vir item missing
Submitted by Lycander on Wed, 2010-12-29 00:41.
It's possible to get Recipe: Vial of the Sands if you're an Alchemist. There's a chance it's contained in any Canopic Jar you solve. It's apparently pretty rare (and expensive to make), but the crafted items allows you to turn into a dragon and carry a passenger. Being a Tol'Vir artifact, you have to have a 450 archaeology to get the fragments in the first place.
As this will probably be highly sought-after, I wanted to at least let you know.
Professor title! =D
Submitted by kayeich on Sun, 2010-12-19 07:02.
Suggest adding that you get a title "Assistant Professor" for getting a rare artifact, and "Associate Professor" for getting 10 rare artifacts.
I rather like these titles. I kinda wish they had a "Graduate Professor" for getting all the archeology achievement though. That would have made my day. =)

PORT ROYAL, Jamaica - Tropical Storm Ernesto brushed past the Caribbean country's southern coast Sunday, causing heavy rains but few problems, as it took a path expected to carry it by Honduras and across the Yucatan Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico.
Forecasters at Jamaica's Meteorological Service said late in the day that the rain was tapering off but light to moderate showers from squalls were still present over most of the island, especially eastern areas.
In Jamaica's southern capital of Kingston, Ernesto dumped some rain but left no noticeable damage.
Island authorities urged people in flood-prone areas to be on alert and urged fishermen on outlying cays and banks to remain in safe harbors on the main island.
As the storm's outer bands approached, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called on all Jamaicans to make the necessary preparations to ensure their safety.
"I urge you to especially consider the children, the sick, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the most vulnerable in the society," she said.
Daniel Edwards, a dreadlocked fisherman in Port Royal, a small fishing village at the tip of a spit of land near Kingston's airport, said vigorous lightning lit up the sky over the sea late Saturday and early Sunday.
Bailing out his small wooden fishing boat next to a dilapidated wooden dock, Edwards said he wasn't overly concerned by the storm.
"It's not much of a muchness," said the veteran fisherman, decked out in rain gear.
Forecasters said Ernesto could begin drenching the coast of Honduras late Monday. It is then expected to move ashore near the Belize-Mexico border Tuesday night and pass into the Gulf of Mexico.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Ernesto could possibly become a hurricane by late in the week while heading toward the Mexican mainland.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for the coast of Honduras, from the border with Nicaragua westward to Punta Castilla, and the main island of Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands.
A Cayman government statement urged Grand Cayman residents to monitor the storm but said the storm was not likely to have serious effects on the British Caribbean territory.
The U.S. hurricane center said Ernesto was centered about 220 miles south-southwest of Kingston, Jamaica, late Sunday afternoon. It had maximum sustained winds near 50 mph and was moving swiftly westward at 20 mph.
Elsewhere, Tropical Storm Florence, which formed far out in the Atlantic, stopped strengthening by early Sunday and was no longer expected to gain strength, the hurricane center said.
Florence's top sustained winds had slowed to 50 mph (85 kph) by Sunday afternoon and it was 845 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands. Forecasters said a gradual weakening of the storm was expected over the next couple of days.

This is an idea for a new game type. I play it with my friend all the time. Basically, each player gets to be 2-4 teams in the same game (ex. Player 1 is Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow; Player 2 is Cyan, Purple, Silver, and Orange). Due to game size limits, this would mean there would be a limit of 2-4 players. Turn order is similar to a team game (i.e. depends on size of player's team). Much like regular team games, players can attack their territories owned by other armies on the same team and reinforce to another color. Side note: spoils would not be shared between all of a player's teams. Each army would have their own spoils.
To sum it up, this is team games without the team, for players who like the strategy of a team game but not the teammates who don't do what you want them to.
If this sounds intriguing but my wording has confused you, just post this and I will try to explain whatever part is confusing you more clearly.

It isn't so hard to "get" in that all that's required is bleaching and dying. However, after the process is complete, warding off damage due to dryness, brittleness, and a tendency to splitting can become a near full-time job. Deep conditioning, trimming, protective styling, maintaining moisture, choosing products/tools with extra care...the meticulousness required could easily become tiring. I would never dye my hair because I am very vain about its length, thickness, and inky blackness. The potential damage from bleaching/coloring is enough to strike terror into my heart. However, if I ever feel adventurous, I'll certainly look into lightening it...Also, another concern is matching color shade to skin tone. The shade of blonde simply must match the skin tone otherwise the results will be painfully garish. An example of blonde gone wrong is Serena Williams. A woman with such luscious dark skin should be looking into warmer shades of blonde--more coppery/strawberry than blonde, in fact...and if she's going to wear false hair then she should take care to hire a specialist for best results...but that's another conversation. Mary J. Blige is a good example of blonde gone right (although her hair can look shoddy at times).I think the contrast between dark skin and lighter hair can be very sexy. Recently I saw a *very* dark black woman with her hair lightened to a very warm shade of blonde. She looked so striking that I couldn't help but secretly stare at her like some voyeuristic weirdo. I guess the fact that she was also wearing a white blouse also added to the contrast--white teeth, light hair, white blouse against skin so smooth and dark that it looked painted on. I wanted to go rub her skin...I'm sure it would have been incredibly soft.
To all black blonde girls: it needs to stop. now. You too Bee'Yonce. Dye that sh!t back.

BitTorrent Begins Directly Promoting Content Creators Willing To Embrace New Forms Of Distribution
from the a-step-forward dept
One of the obvious benefits of using BitTorrent or other forms of free music distribution is that it makes it easier for people to hear your music. But, of course, you still need to convince them to make that first step and download -- and so these recent efforts to use a BitTorrent release specifically to promote a bit of content is interesting. I imagine that the skeptical response is that "this only works when just a few artists are doing it." That may be true in the present form, but I would bet that if more and more content creators embrace these forms of distribution, in combination with smarter business models, there will be many ways to deal with it, including greater personalization/filters for those who are actively promoting their works via platforms like BitTorrent.
