That is when companies turn to the best Houston factoring company. As a factoring company in Houston, Texas, APC works with them, finding creative financial funding solutions that encourage growth.

Houston Invoice Factoring
American Prudential Capital is the Houston invoice factoring company to count on when it comes to accounts receivable invoice factoring. This factoring allows companies to sell their accounts receivable at a discounted rate, providing an immediate influx of cash flow, and gives invoice factoring company the right to collect on those accounts receivable invoice. Turning accounts receivable into usable finance offers businesses innovative financing alternatives.
Houston Invoice Funding
Invoice funding is somewhat different from invoice factoring in that the small business retains ownership of the invoices it has issued to its customers, rather than selling them to a factoring company. The small business still receives a cash advance against the value of those invoices from an alternative funding company, for an amount less than the total value of the invoices themselves. Then the amount of the cash advance is repaid within an agreed-upon time frame.
Houston PO Financing Companies
Purchase order financing service providers help wholesale companies place extraordinarily large orders for their clients. Finding a finance method to pay the supplier may involve a Houston financing company, who will supply the funds and then collect when the end customer pays their invoice. Another win-win as the wholesaler keeps their client happy by placing the purchase order expediently, and the Houston factoring company makes a minimal profit.

Movie critic
Leave it to the hard-to-pigeonhole Stephen King to craft a horror tale that is, in its own way, oddly comforting.
The supernatural chiller "1408" is a horror flick, yes, but it's a good, old-fashioned horror flick, one that relies on supernatural chills, psychological twists and top-shelf special effects -- as opposed to the recent trend toward ball gags, bound wrists and bad lighting.
Of course, King movies can be a hit-or-miss prospect. Sometimes you get "Stand by Me" or "Shawshank Redemption," and sometimes you get "Maximum Overdrive" or "Children of the Corn III." In the often surreal "1408," starring John Cusack ("Runaway Jury," "Being John Malkovich") and opening today, there's a little bit of both.
Director Mikael Hafstrom ("Evil," "Derailed") trots out just about every unimaginative cliche in the genre: bleeding walls, a willful clock radio, extreme and inexplicable cold. And being a King adaptation -- it was part of the 2002 collection "Everything's Eventual" -- it includes a number of familiar Kingisms: a main character who is equal parts writer and drinker, a haunted hotel, an apparent descent into madness.
But, as with the best of King's writing, there's a depth that just might prompt a little introspection, rather than simply reinforce the fear of hitchhikers or guys wearing hockey masks.
Mike Enslin (Cusack) is a tormented-writer-turned-professional-skeptic who makes a living proving there are no such things as ghosts, as wayward spirits, as an afterlife. When he receives a warning to stay away from the rabbit hole of Room 1408 (add up the digits) in New York's Dolphin Hotel, which has seen 56 deaths since 1912 (add up the digits) he can't get there fast enough.
Samuel L. Jackson plays the hotel manager who tries, unsuccessfully, to convince Cusack to stay away from the room, since everyone who spends any significant amount of time there seems to meet a horrible end. Even the hotel staff is scared of the place, though, being highly professional -- and, apparently, highly stupid -- they still clean it once a month, always with the door open. Even then it sometimes ends badly.
Cusack, of course, is unconvinced. "I know that ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties don't exist," he tells Jackson, then adds revealingly: "And even if they did, there's not a God to protect us from them."
Turns out, this troubled writer is already haunted -- by his past. As the story unspools, so does Cusack, in the Kafkaesque prison of Room 1408, which is thick with mind-bending special effects. He's either going to have to confront that past or succumb to madness.
From the time he hesitantly steps into the room -- he might be a skeptic but he still flips not one but two light switches before inching across the threshold -- Cusack has the surreal stage mostly to himself, and he does a terrific job. The closer he gets to insanity, the more convincing -- and the more heartbreaking -- he becomes as the grief-stricken Enslin.
Jackson also does a fine job, again proving that he's among Hollywood's coolest, whether he's wearing Armani or a shoulder holster. Still, he's mostly underused here, even though his character's role was expanded significantly for the film.
There are some distractions to wade through, such as the allusions to Enslin's mostly unexplained daddy issues, but Hafstrom keeps things moving nicely, wrapping things up before the audience becomes too terribly numbed to the surreal visuals piled one atop the other.
It's a mind-bender, but it's a far cry from torture.
2 1/2 stars
Plot: Mike Enslin (John Cusack) checks into Room 1408 as a skeptic of the paranormal. He doesn't leave that way.
What works: This becomes more than just a ghost story as Cusack must decide between going mad and confronting reality.
What doesn't: Director Mikael Hafstrom trots out every cliche he can.
Starring: John Cusack, Samuel L. Jackson, Mary McCormack. Director: Mikael Hafstrom. Running time: 1 hour 34 minutes. Rating: PG-13, for thematic material (including disturbing sequences of violence and terror), frightening images and language. Where: Elmwood Palace, Clearview Palace, West Bank Palace, Hammond Palace, Hollywood 9 (Kenner), Hollywood 14 (Covington), Holiday 12, Grand (Slidell).

RICK BOWMER/Associated Press
U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, speaking at the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City on Feb. 22, 2018.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Mike Lee has introduced legislation to limit the ability of the president to expand a national monument in Utah, a hot issue in the state stemming from the creation of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments.
The measure, the Protect Utah's Rural Economy Act, would "protect Utah from future abuses under the Antiquities Act" by prohibiting a president from establishing or expanding a national monument unless authorized by U.S. and Utah lawmakers, Lee said in a statement Wednesday. The Republican lawmaker touted the proposal as a mechanism to give rural communities in Utah more say in land management and a means to foster economic growth.
RELATED: Trump signs proclamation to scale back 2 national monuments
"Rural Americans want what all Americans want — a dignified, decent-paying job, a family to love and support and a healthy community whose future is determined by local residents, not their self-styled betters thousands of miles away," Lee said. Alaska and Wyoming have the sort of protections Lee seeks in his legislation, he said.
President Barack Obama created Bears Ears in 2016 while President Bill Clinton designated Grand Staircase-Escalante in 1996. The decisions generated backlash from some critics who deemed the action heavy-handed federal meddling that limits the ability of Utahns to determine how to manage land. Backers touted the designations as good environmental stewardship.
President Donald Trump, siding with the critics, reduced the size of the two monuments last year, arguing that Utah land shouldn't be controlled by the feds.
The Antiquities Act, which authorizes the president to create national monuments, aims to protect sites of historic and archeological importance. Lee's statement said it has "become a weapon urban elites use against hard-working rural Americans."

JPS students compete in Scrabble tournament
Kids say game helps them increase vocabulary
JACKSON, Miss. —
More than 100 fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade Jackson Public Schools students left the classroom Friday for some hands-on learning.
Open Doors Gifted Education Program students had to learn all of the two-letter words that are legal in the game to take part in the competition, which was held at the Jackson State University e-Center.
"It helps me increase my vocabulary, because one day when I get older I want to be a lawyer and I'll have to know a lot of words," said North Jackson Elementary School fourth grader Kennedy Hewitt.
"It helps me with my math skills and my reading skills because you have to do your opponent's score and your own score," said sixth grader Nekengee Lowe.
The top finishers in each grade level were awarded a trophy.

Iraq conflict: What should the US do?
Iraq is in turmoil, and President Barack Obama is trying to decide how the US can help. Experts look at some of the options.
A militant group known as Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has taken over major cities in Iraq, and its leaders have announced they will head for the country's capital, Baghdad. President Barack Obama says that Iraqi forces need more support. But it is not clear how US officials will provide the assistance - or whether they should.
People familiar with the issue lay out what they believe are the best options for the US.
James Jay Carafano, vice president at Heritage Foundation
Think of the ISIS invasion as a terrible road accident. Right now what matters is spending less time worrying about why it happened and just jumping in and triaging the situation.
The US has to keep the Kurds and the Baghdad government in the fight. This isn't the time to cut a deal with Iran - that would be a disaster.
It's also important to keep Jordan stable. It's the next target. The important thing is to get the US and Turkey on the same page, working toward a common security agenda.
ISIS will likely run out of steam before they can take Baghdad. Then the US can go to work helping repair the damage from the vacuum it created by pulling out too soon.
The challenge for the Obama administration is to do the right thing, rather than just do something or nothing.
The ISIS is hardly 10 feet tall. But for once the White House needs to completely put politics aside and worry less about how meeting the challenge affects the president's legacy - and more about getting the mission done right, as expeditiously as possible.
PJ Crowley, former assistant secretary atUS state department
Iraq faces an existential question: whether it can survive as a unified country, Sadly, given the sorry performance of the Iraqi security forces thus far, it is an open question whether all Iraqis are prepared to fight for it.
Washington can't want an outcome more than the natives do. It's made that mistake before. Military support may be useful, but the challenge is really a political one.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki is so distrusted that, even after the loss of Mosul, he couldn't command a parliamentary quorum to declare a state of emergency.
Mr Obama needs to say in private and if necessary in public that, notwithstanding the recent election results, Mr Maliki needs to step down.
There are things the United States can do - for example, tactical air operations in support of Iraq, with which it has a security partnership. But the price of admission is Mr Maliki's departure.
If Iraq fractures, so will Syria. Preventing that outcome has to be considered a vital US national interest.
Ellen Laipson, former vice chair of US national intelligence council
Mr Obama proclaimed in a speech to cadets at West Point that isolation is not an option and that regional aggression cannot go unchecked.
He also made clear that terrorism, particularly of the radical Islamist persuasion, is the most direct threat to US interests and security.
In the days since ISIS militants swept into Iraq and seized major towns and cities, the president has overcome his reluctance to re-engage in the Middle East and is considering military options to support Iraq and try to re-establish the authority of the state.
Even a limited military action, such as airstrikes against the militants or fast delivery of supplies and advice to the Iraqi forces, can help bolster the confidence of the regime and send a powerful psychological message to the region as a whole.
It's important to frame this not just as support for the deeply flawed prime minister, because the prospect of ISIS-controlled territory in the heart of the region means that US interests and those of key friends and allies are at risk.
Aaron David Miller, former adviser on the Middle East to secretaries of state
The Obama administration may be forced to respond with airstrikes and other kinds of military assistance. But they're unlikely to work over time. Here's why.
First, a commitment to stop ISIS is not a one-time deal, It would involve a sustained military strategy and, even more important, a determined effort to push Mr Maliki to be less repressive against Sunnis and to share Shia power with them.
In short, America would have to recommit itself to re-engage substantially in Iraq.
Second - if the US couldn't fix Iraq in eight years, how do we suppose we're going to get a better outcome now? The idea of an Iraq in which various sectarian groups all share power as one big happy family has always been an illusion.
It remains one now. Iran and Saudi Arabia will ensure it never happens.
Finally, trying to deal with ISIS in Iraq without dealing with the source in Syria would simply ensure that Iraq remains vulnerable to jihadi intrusions. Is the administration prepared to take on Syria and Iraq together?
Suzanne Nossel, a columnist for Foreign Policy magazine
The US cannot allow an atrocity-happy, hostile and lawless force of bandits to erect a jihadi state the size of Jordan in an already volatile Middle East.
Unpalatable as it is, the US needs to shore up the Iraqi government while it has a chance of holding on. The US should also bolster the Kurds' apparently disciplined and constructive force and equip moderate Syrian rebels to contain and beat back ISIS.
Mr Obama's claim to have ended the Iraq War will be deleted from the historical record, possibly permanently. He needs to let that go, banishing considerations of politics and legacy to get this right here and now.
Short of a miraculous turnaround, he will need to engage military assets - exactly which, how much and for how long we don't know, but these decisions can at least be informed by generals and diplomats who know Iraq.
During his first campaign Mr Obama condemned the Iraq conflict as a war of choice. Now he may decide it is a war of necessity.

text: 17 February 2011Laser hair removal has been hailed as the solution to the problem of painful, red, and itchy skin that can occur as the result of shaving. A report published in the Miami Herald newspaper yesterday advised both men and women to avoid razor burn by regularly changing the blade, using shaving foam not soap, and shaving after a warm bath or shower. But according to the newspaper, the only long-term solution to unwanted hair that won�t leave you with irritated skin or ingrown hairs is laser hair removal. Not only does the technique offer a permanent reduction or removal of hair from the face and body, but it cures painful ingrown hairs and prevents them from recurring. Importantly, reporter Leslie Bauman wrote: �Laser hair removal allows you to ditch your razor forever. But don�t be swayed by bargain prices at a spa or salon because there are potential side effects, especially for those with darker skin. Your dermatologist can determine the right laser for your skin colour so you can have fuzz-free skin for the long-term.�

George Randolph Hearst Jr., chairman of Hearst Corp. and the eldest grandson of newspaper and magazine publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst, died yesterday of complications following a stroke. He was 84.
He died at Stanford University Medical Center in Palo Alto, Calif., according to a statement from the company.
His career at the family business began in 1948 and included jobs on the staff of the San Francisco Examiner, as publisher of the Los Angeles Examiner, Los Angeles Evening Herald-Express and Los Angeles Herald-Examiner and manager of Hearst Corp.'s real estate holdings.
He also was president of the Hearst Foundation and a director of the William Randolph Hearst Foundation.
Many individuals in the Hearst family remain as employees of the New York City-based company and as members of the governing board, spokeswoman Lisa Bagley said today. They include his two sons, George III, publisher of the Albany Times Union, and Stephen, vice president and general manager of Hearst's San Francisco-based Western Properties.
Hearst publishes 15 daily U.S. newspapers and magazines including Car and Driver, Cosmopolitan and Esquire, and it runs 29 TV stations and two radio stations, according to its website. The corporation is owned by The Hearst Family Trust, established in the will of William Randolph Hearst, who died in 1951.
The company traces its beginning to 1887, when William Randolph Hearst took over the San Francisco Daily Examiner. His father, George Hearst, a miner and California politician, bought the newspaper seven years earlier.
George Randolph Hearst Jr. was born on July 13, 1927, in San Francisco to George R. Hearst Sr., the eldest son of William Randolph Hearst, and the former Blanche Wilbur. George Sr. was vice president at the Hearst Corp.
Mr. Hearst enlisted in the Naval Air Corps in World War II and served in the Army during the Korean War, including service as a combat helicopter pilot, according to the company statement.
Survivors include his twin sister, Phoebe Hearst Cooke; his wife, Susan, and her daughter, Jessica Gonzalves; his three children, George, Stephen and Erin Hearst Knudsen; and a cousin, Patricia Hearst Shaw, who was kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army in 1974. His oldest child, Mary "Bunny" Hearst Ives, died in 2004.

* Protest leader says "red shirts" seeking confrontation
* Thai Airways expected to report huge loss
* Share prices of some Thaksin-linked companies rebound

* Protest leader says "red shirts" seeking confrontation
* Thai Airways expected to report huge loss
* Share prices of some Thaksin-linked companies rebound
By Pairat Temphairojana and Orathai Sriring
BANGKOK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - An explosion and gunfire rang
out near a sprawling anti-government protest site in the Thai
capital early on Tuesday after the protesters' leader warned
that government supporters were planning to bring armed
militants to Bangkok.
Weeks of unrest, in which protesters have barricaded several
Bangkok intersections, have been interrupted by occasional bombs
and gunfire, with one blast killing a woman and a young brother
and sister in a shopping district on Sunday.
There was another explosion and more gunfire near one
protest site on the edge of Bangkok's Lumpini Park in the early
hours of Tuesday, national security chief Paradorn
Pattanathabutr told Reuters.
Two men were wounded, medical sources said.
"Last night, we don't know where and who it came from, but
there was an explosion and the sound of gunfire from 1 a.m.,"
Paradorn said. "Officials will investigate the area this morning
and there should be more information soon."
He also said there was an explosion near the office of the
opposition Democrat Party. No one was hurt.
The protesters, whose disruption of a general election this
month left Thailand in political limbo, aim to unseat caretaker
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and erase the influence of
her brother, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, who is seen by
many as the power behind the government.
Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban accused Jatuporn Promphan,
a leader of the "red shirt" supporters of Thaksin, and of
Yingluck's government, of wanting to bring armed militants to
Bangkok from their power base in the mainly rural north and
northeast, setting the stage for potential conflict.
He also accused police of doing nothing about it.
"It is clear that Jatuporn wants to divide the country in
two," Suthep told supporters late on Monday.
Suthep said protesters would target Shinawatra businesses
again on Tuesday, a threat that sent stock prices tumbling last
week. Some shares were recovering on Tuesday.
SC Asset Corp, a property developer controlled by
the Shinawatra family, lost almost 10 percent in the second half
of last week and mobile handset distributor M-Link Asia Corp
, also with links to the family, lost 12 percent.
SC Asset was up 2 percent at 0530 GMT and M-Link up nearly 7
National flag carrier Thai Airways International
releases 2013 results on Tuesday and is expected to report a
huge loss. It may cite a slump in tourism since the protests
began last November as one of the factors.
Trade figures released on Tuesday showed a huge 15.5 percent
drop in imports in January from a year before, reflecting
weakness in consumption, construction and other activities as
the political crisis deepened. Exports dropped 2 percent.
Thailand is an export base for top global car makers and a
major producer of hard disk drives.
Imports were lower in most sectors, with machines and parts
down 16 percent year-on-year, computers and parts down 19
percent, auto parts down 31.8 percent, steel products down 14.3
percent and consumer goods down 5.3 percent.
At least 20 people have been killed and more than 700
wounded since the protests began in November.
It is the worst political violence since 2010, when
Thaksin's supporters paralysed Bangkok for weeks. More than 90
people were killed and 2,000 wounded during that unrest, which
ended when Suthep, then a deputy premier, sent in troops.
Demonstrators accuse former telecoms tycoon Thaksin of
nepotism and corruption and say that, prior to being ousted by
the army in 2006, he used taxpayers' money for populist policies
such as a controversial subsidy for rice farmers and easy loans
that bought him the loyalty of millions.
In a bit of good news for Yingluck, the Election Commission
approved a 712 million baht ($21.87 million) fund to be drawn
from the central budget for rice farmers, some of whom have been
waiting months for payment under a state subsidy scheme.
The sum will go some way towards appeasing the farmers, who
protested in Bangkok last week demanding to speak to Yingluck,
but is a tiny fraction of the estimated 130 billion baht her
government needs to pay to nearly a million rural workers.

Scene: Level 42 concert in Nintendo world.
Now, how can it be(...)
Oh, drawn into the stream(...)
That there is something about you(...)
A million things and a perfect dream...
Together (echoes)
Oh, these changing years(...)
The keyboardist plays a few chords. Thwomps begin to fall from the ceiling; Boshi the bassist gives them the signal to stop.
Something about the way you are
Can't go back we've come too far
Nothing is the way it seems
We're quite safe here in our dreams
you to me are all it takes
to wipe the slate of my mistakes
I'm not perfect that's for sure
I'm only human after all
The lights start flickering, and the instruments begin to malfunction. When this is over, the crowd begins to look around for clues. A few seconds later it happens again. Turns out Pikachu was playing with the electrical system. Ash Ketchum's face turns all red; he runs after Pikachu. The guitarist plays a guitar solo. A few seconds after he finishes, Pikachu is at it again. "Back in the Poke Ball for you."

Hmm, not so inspiring. Sadly, we cannot yet afford a new one (but that doesn't stop me dreaming on Pinterest).
In the meantime, I'm doing a quick revamp of what we've got, to at least try and make it more habitable for the next few months. I quite like the shabby chic look of one of the (two) existing units:
Today, I'm renovating this drawer from the unit above:
So that every time I open it, there's a tiny little bit of calm amongst the chaos of the rest of the house.
Here goes...
1. Firstly I gave it a super duper clean and removed all of the old lining and the old fixings:
2. I then lightly sanded the drawer to prepare it for painting. I used Dulux Kitchen matt emulsion in Frosted Steel and a small roller to apply, as I prefer the finish a roller achieves:
3. I gave it a few coats...
4. ... And then a few more, until it looked covered (I did 3 coats, which used the whole tester pot):
5. I then used some d-c fix adhesive film to line the drawers (I chose mid blue with tiny light blue polka dots, but look at all of the choice on the d-c website:
6. Here's the finished product (apologies for the quality, had to use my phone for these!)
7. Only trouble is now I want to re-paint the outsides too!
P.S. Check out i heart organizing for some inspiring drawer lining projects, ahhh!

From Elaine Cheung, Vice President Corporate Marketing:
As vice president of Corporate Marketing at Brocade and with the recent launch of Wingspan, I thought it would be fitting to provide some insight into my views on social media, particularly in the way it's impacting and transforming the marketing discipline.
As a pure B-to-B company, we have struggled with both the concept and the process of becoming completely immersed in the vast and growing world of social media. But after a great deal of investigation, discussion and reflection, we ultimately decided to take the plunge. It wasn't because it was the "thing to do" or because we have a vested interested in generating more traffic on networks. We do. But even as a B-to-B company we saw the value and the opportunity to more directly connect to our customers and partners through social media and its persistent and two-way dialog format.
As a marketing team, we recognized that we needed to add social media to our marketing mix to help build our brand value and develop relationships that are crucial to business. The types of social media Brocade has recently adopted includes a substantial remodel of our Brocade Connect online community site, our new blog called Wingspan, participation in other networking industry blogs, chat rooms and message boards, as well as posting videos on hot topics on Brocade's YouTube channel.
We want to better connect with our end-users to understand your business needs which in turn will help drive us toward greater innovation. Sometimes, the interaction will challenge us and that's ok – in fact, it's a good thing. It means we're having the open dialogue we want to have with our customers and partners. And, hopefully Brocade is up to those challenges. In this sense, social media is an extension of Brocade's dedication to customer and partner loyalty. It is simply another medium to use to connect to the many end-users and partners around the globe quickly and efficiently. It doesn't replace the business relationships that many of our customers and partners have with Brocade sales, professional services, support and administrative staff. It is another tool we can use to keep you up to date on what we're doing in real-time and for you to share your thoughts, input and opinions in a candid and fluid manner.
For example, one of our first uses of video on YouTube was to announce the close of the Foundry acquisition. Getting our CEO on regular TV to talk about the acquisition was not feasible. And yes, we could have just had him send a message via e-mail or a post a comment and static press release on our web site. Instead, we had him do a short video explaining the rationale for the acquisition and how it would benefit customers over time. By having you see his body language, hear the subtle shifts in the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes was vastly more engaging, informative, and, ultimately, more real than just having the written communications.
Candidly, Brocade is just getting started in this area. We have a lot to learn as do many B-to-B marketers. Understanding what the right mix of traditional and new social media outlets and vehicles work best for you and Brocade will take some time. In addition, we recognize that there is an element of risk to driving fully-meshed public communications, with little or no control. We have already received some "energetic" comments on our YouTube site, but we give as good as we get and look forward to even more.
Just like how the world of social media is constantly evolving, our approach to innovative marketing campaigns will continue to change. This is a learning process for us, but I'm very confident in our ability to standout as a forward-thinking, envelop-pushing company. I'm looking forward to this adventure and I hope you will join us for the ride.

Malvertising on Google Doubleclick ongoing
In the past few days, our scanners noticed malvertising on Google DoubleClick. The malvertisement is being provided to DoubleClick by Adify (Now a part of Cox Digital Solutions), and to Adify by Pulpo Media, and to Pulpo Media by the malicious attackers pretending to be advertisers: indistic.com. The malvertisement causes visitor browsers to load exploits from kokojamba.cz.cc (the exploit domain), which is running the BlackHole exploit pack. Currently, 7 out of 44 vendors on VirusTotal can detect this malware.
This is our report. We plan to put up the video later--we still need to narrate it, which will take some time. As DoubleClick is a very large AD network, we decided to put up the post quickly.
The first link in the infection chain is the following standard script for all websites using Google DoubleClick for Publishers (Google DFP):
(Link 1:)
<script type='text/javascript' src='hxxp://partner.googleadservices.com/gampad/google_service.js'>
(Link 2:)
(Link 3:)
(Link 4:)
(Link 5:)
(Link 6:)
Which gives an HTTP 302 redirect to:
(Link 7:)
(Link 8:)
The entire javascript code can be found here.
The domain "indistic.com" was registered on Aug 12, 2011 (evidence 1) by "Marcene D. Rohodes (email@example.com). The domain currently runs on IP 184.108.40.206 (AS49734) (thank you Jason D.Seimesi), which is located in Romania. The whois records show a US street address but with a Lithuania phone number and a Romanian IP (evidence 2):
Administrative Contact:
Name: Marcene D. Rhodes
Organization: no
Address: 4653 Twin House Lane
City: Mount Vernon
Province/state: MO
Country: US
Postal Code: 65712
Phone: +370.956734778
Fax: +370.956734778
The domain is using FreeDNS on freedns.afraid.org (evidence 3).
So there were at least three evidences here, that indistic.com wasn't a legitimate advertiser. This malvertisement shouldn't have been let into this chain of AD networks.
Furthermore, as (Jason D.Seimesi pointed out, the same IP is also used by pisofta.com--another domain also registered on Aug 12. Therefore there should be more than one malicious advertiser identify associated with this effort.
(Link 9-a, BlackHole exploit pack:)
kokojamba.cz.cc is the exploit domain running the BlackHole exploit pack. It is currently running on IP 188.8.131.52, located in Jihomoravský kraj of Czech Republic.
(Link 9-b:)
Currently, 7 out of 44 vendors on VirusTotal can detect this malware:
We are in the process of informing all parties involved. If you know more about this incident, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Little poppies, little hell flames,
Do you do no harm?
You flicker. I cannot touch you.
I put my hands among the flames. Nothing burns
And it exhausts me to watch you
Flickering like that, wrinkly and clear red, like the skin of a mouth.
A mouth just bloodied.
Little bloody skirts!
There are fumes I cannot touch.
Where are your opiates, your nauseous capsules?
If I could bleed, or sleep! -
If my mouth could marry a hurt like that!
Or your liquors seep to me, in this glass capsule,
Dulling and stilling.
But colorless. Colorless.

It's not every day that brands and agencies go through the process of buying the world's best marketing software. Lucky for you, we do this every day. Here's what we're hearing.
Starting from the middle and trying to work both directions can make things a living nightmare. Procuring software is hard enough as it is, so start from the beginning and ask yourself "WHY?"
Speaking of starting from the beginning, don't throw away what you're already doing. Your team will be much more likely to adopt something if it's an enhancement to current behavior.
With all of the options available in the current technology landscape, the choices can be overwhelming. Be careful not paint yourself into a corner when making your decision.
K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid) has been a lasting staple of advertising and marketing. The same applies to the technology you're putting in place for your team.
Trends don't just exist in the world of fashion. They might move a little slower than skinny jeans, but trends are just as important to marketing technology. Don't make last season's choices.
In the complex ecosystem of marketing teams, there exists a delicate balance of executives, practitioners, and everyone else. Understanding the complexities of each level is paramount.
The explosion of online video has created a world where you can learn to make your own wine, paint a masterpiece, and even fly a plane. Building a complex software solution is N-O-T advisably DYI.
Software is only as good as the people who use it. As systems become more complex, look for a partner who can provide your humans the support they need to make the software even stronger.
Nothing is worse than spending time and money to get the perfect solution in place only to have little to no adoption. Know what makes your team tick before, during, and after implementation.
If you're making the investment to buy marketing software, your commitment should provide measurable value to your team and your company. Make the case and then prove it.
There are many options that can massively benefit your team right now. Be the catalyst for change today and take credit for the achievement tomorrow.

The AD limits exist primarily to optimize AD's performance—they relate only marginally to the number of objects you can have. For example, the maximum number of user accounts possible in a Windows NT domain was 40,000. The number of user accounts possible in an AD domain is huge. I don't know the absolute maximum, but Korea.com (an Internet portal providing a range of Web services to Korean citizens) has an 8-million-user-account AD implementation. Here are some common AD limits and tips for adjusting or working around them should they become problematic.
MMC Folder Display Limit
When you use the Windows 2000 Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in to display the contents of an organizational unit (OU) or container that contains more than 2000 objects, you see an error message stating that AD can't display all the objects and giving advice for changing the default option. If you have Windows Server 2003, you see a slightly more helpful message stating the limit and the number of objects AD is trying to display.
To change the default display limit, click View, Filter Options and change the Maximum number of items displayed per folder value. Be aware that this limit exists for a good reason: Displaying the contents of an OU that contains 30,000 objects can take a long time.
Search Buffer Size
After overcoming the default 2000-object display limit, you might be frustrated yet again if you try to display the contents of an OU that contains more than 10,000 objects. The source of the frustration is the default AD search buffer size, which certain UI tools (including the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in) use. The buffer stores query results and by default is limited to 10,000 objects to improve performance.
The Microsoft article "Controlling the Active Directory Search Buffer Size" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=243281) describes two ways to change this default. The first option involves changing a registry value. Add a new DWORD value named QueryLimit to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Directory UI registry subkey. Set the value for QueryLimit to the limit you think you need. You might need to add the \Windows and \Directory UI subkeys if they aren't present.
The second method also applies the registry setting but does so through Group Policy. Open the Group Policy Object (GPO) you want to edit (e.g., Default Domain Policy). In the treeview pane, navigate to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Desktop, Active Directory. Enable the Maximum size of Active Directory searches policy and set the value you want.
I prefer the second approach because it avoids incorrectly entered registry values. I've also seen problems with the first method when used with the Run As feature and dedicated administrative accounts. The registry value doesn't work with accounts specified by using Run As, probably because the specified account isn't affected by HKEY_CURRENT_USER settings. If you want to use Run As after applying the second (GPO) method, in order to apply the Group Policy setting you must perform a normal Windows logon at least once for any accounts you plan to specify with Run As.
Interestingly, although the setting (using either method) works well for the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, it appears to have no effect on the MMC Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) Edit snap-in. I haven't found a way to use ADSI Edit to display more than 10,000 objects.
LDAP Maximum Page Size
You're probably aware that AD supports Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 3.0. AD's LDAP support lets you search the directory from an LDAP-compliant client. To protect against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks and searches that might adversely impact performance, AD imposes a maximum page size of 1000 when returning the results of LDAP queries. In other words, AD returns no more than 1000 records at a time in response to an LDAP query. For example, if you execute an LDAP subtree search for all user objects in your domain, the search will return 1000 records and a Size Limit Exceeded error if your domain has more than 1000 user objects.
You have two options for working around this limit. The first is to change the maximum page size from the client; the second is to modify the MaxPageSize LDAP policy on your domain controllers (DCs) to set a higher limit. As a best practice, you should use the first method and leave the LDAP policy alone. As users and applications make increasing use of AD, inefficient LDAP queries become more likely. The maximum page-size setting protects AD from inefficient queries. The main danger with modifying the policy is that doing so can inhibit DC performance. To learn more about changing LDAP policies, see the Microsoft article "HOW TO: View and Set Lightweight Directory Access Protocol Policies by Using Ntdsutil.exe in Windows 2000" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315071).
One way to set the maximum page size on an LDAP client is to use the ldp.exe LDAP client from the Windows 2003 or Win2K support tools. To use this method, follow these steps:
- Open ldp.exe.
- Connect and bind to the directory. To do this, click the Connection menu item, then click Connect. Enter the name of the DC you want to connect to in Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) format (e.g., dc1.mydomain.com)—or simply leave the field blank if you want to connect to a nearby DC in the default domain—and click OK. To perform an LDAP bind to the DC, click Bind on the Connection menu, complete the user, password, and domain information by using a domain account that has the appropriate permissions (usually a regular user account will suffice), and click OK. Click Browse, then click Search.
- Click Options and change the settings so that they appear as Figure 1 shows.
Figure 1 shows that I changed the default Search Call Type from Sync. to Paged. The change instructs the DC to return any search results in batches specified in the Page size setting, thereby working around the 1000-record limit. Here's where the terminology gets confusing. You will remember that the DC's LDAP policy is called MaxPageSize. This policy has no relation to the Page size setting in the LDAP client. The MaxPageSize value is simply the maximum number of records the server returns. The Page size setting in my ldp.exe example tells the server to return results in batches of 16 (the default). You don't need to change the default. I set the Timeout (s) value to 60. In my experience, this setting can help avoid timeout problems when you use paging. I also changed the Attributes setting to 1.1. This setting instructs the DC to return no attributes. (By default, the DC still returns the distinguishedName attribute in the results.)
Those who have more than a passing interest in LDAP might like to know that ldp.exe sets page size by implementing LDAP control pagedResultsControl. You can find more information about using this LDAP control in the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFC) 2696 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2696.txt).
Another way to set the page size is to use ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) in a VBScript script. Listing 1 shows a script that searches for all user accounts within a domain. In an environment that has more than 1000 users, the script fails unless you use the Page size setting. As with the ldp.exe example, specifying a specific page-size value instructs the server to return the results in batches, providing an effective workaround to the 1000-record limit. To run the script, create a new file (e.g. PageSize.vbs), edit the code at callout A in Listing 1 to include your own domain name, then save the file. Open a command prompt, change to the same directory to which you saved the file, and type the following:
cscript PageSize.vbs
Group Membership Limit
If you have a midsized-to-large organization, you might have encountered a limit of 5000 group members in Win2K Server AD. The 5000-member limit isn't set in stone but rather is an approximate value. The limit exists because the AD Jet database engine can't handle write operations greater than a certain size when it stores and replicates data. Windows 2003 AD works around this limit through linked value replication (LVR). With LVR, AD replicates the individual values within the member attribute rather than the whole value when a group's membership changes. Aside from working around the 5000-member limitation, this replication method is clearly a much more efficient replication method, both in terms of network bandwidth usage and DC resource overhead.
Actually, the 5000 limit applies not only to group membership within AD but to any linked attributes. However, group membership is where most organizations see the problem. The member attribute is referred to as linked because it has a corresponding memberOf attribute. For example, say that the Sales group has member attribute values Tom, Dick, and Harry. If you then look at the Tom, Dick, and Harry objects in AD, you see that each has an attribute called memberOf with a value that includes the group Sales. The manager and directReports attributes also are examples of linked attributes.
The only workaround to the group membership limit in Win2K AD is to use group nesting. Nesting involves dividing the group into smaller groups, then making those groups members of the parent group. Nesting adds complexity because it increases the overall number of groups you must manage.
Kerberos Token Size
Win2K and later use Kerberos authentication by default. If a user account is a member of many groups (including nested groups), it might have problems with authentication. Authentication problems can manifest in different ways—for example, a slow or failed logon to a remote system, an inability to apply Group Policy, or errors when joining a computer to the domain. In this case, the limit stems from the way in which systems that participate in Kerberos authentication (e.g., Win2K file server, Microsoft IIS) assign tokens for accessing resources.
When assigning tokens, the system includes the user's SID and the SIDs of all security groups to which the user belongs. When you use group nesting, the number of SIDs can increase sharply, in which case the token might be too small to handle all of them. Tokens have a fixed size, which is specified in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters\MaxTokenSize registry value. If you've migrated user accounts and associated groups from another domain, the addition of SID history can aggravate the token-size problem by increasing the number of SIDs.
How many groups do you need to trigger this type of problem? This question has no easy answer because both the MaxToken Size registry value and the service pack level of the system that assigns the token affect the maximum token size. In Win2K Service Pack 1 (SP1) and earlier, the limit is approximately 70 to 80 groups; with Win2K SP2 and later, it's about 120 groups. Win2K SP4 and Windows 2003 offer a better solution for the problem by addressing it at the DC level, although in some cases the token size still might not be sufficient. For these rare cases, Microsoft provides a formula for calculating the required MaxTokenSize registry value. For more information about the formula, solving the problem of too many groups, and the MaxTokenSize value, see the Microsoft article "New Resolution for Problems That Occur When Users Belong to Many Groups" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327825). As you can see, no easy workarounds exist for the problem, but you can generally avoid trouble if you have the latest service packs applied in your AD forest. At worst, you may need to apply the formula that the Microsoft article provides.
Love Your Limits
AD and its associated tools will always impose certain limits. The limits aren't meant to frustrate users; instead, they exist to protect AD from misuse and to improve system performance. Knowing the limits and how to safely work around them can greatly reduce your frustration and help you better understand how AD works.

Awwww. We think.
After a million-dollar lottery winner realized his fortune he called his wife.
She ordered him home ASAP.
This was spun as a pre-Valentine's Day love story by the California Lottery folks.
But we think it sounds a little like he's-scared-of-his-better-half coercion:
The man purchased a ticket Sunday morning at Vista Liquor, 2415 North San Fernando Boulevard in Burbank, according to lottery officials, who add:
View Larger Map
... He promptly called his wife, who he referred to wisely as "the boss." After her initial excitement calmed a bit, she told him "get home right now!"
Or what? I'll shoot?
Anyway, turns out his $10 Scratchers buy was a good investment for the longtime player.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
But lottery folks are crediting wife Tina D. of Burbank with the score. (The
victim husband wasn't ID'd.)
The pair plan to buy a house and car, lottery officials say, so it turns out February will be a lovely and romantic month for both.
We hope.

Writing Linear Functions (Day 2 of 2)
Lesson 5 of 10
Objective: SWBAT analyze the meaning of the slope and y-intercept in the context of a real world scenario.
Big Idea: Students will use input/output tables to analyze the different components of a linear function.
Students will complete today's Do Now While students are working, I will circulate around the room passing back the graded exit cards from our last class. After about 4 minutes, I will ask three students to deeply discuss their responses to the Do-Now aloud.
Next a student volunteer will read today's lesson objective, "SWBAT analyze the meaning of the slope and y-intercept in the context of a real world scenario."
We will review the old exit cards as a whole group before continuing our activity from yesterday.

Small Group Practice
Today's lesson provides my students with an opportunity for either closure or extension of yesterday's lesson. The majority of my students did not finish working on the Problem Sets from our last class. Students who did finish will complete the khan academy linear equations checklist using Khan Academy. The rest of the students who need to finish will be placed in small groups based on their level of understanding as shown on the exit card from the previous day.
To get students started, we will slowly work through one problem together. Students will then continue working in groups on the problems, while I circulate around the room re-teaching and guiding students that need support. We will work in 5 minute cycles of working independently, working in groups, and reviewing responses for the next 30 minutes.
Resources (3)
Group Task
Students who have demonstrated mastery of this concept will move forward and complete the Group Task with a partner. I will encourage students to write thorough and thoughtful responses using complete sentences and mathematical language. Pairs will work for about 20 minutes independently, then we will share our responses as a whole group.
Students who are still struggling with this concept will not complete the Group Task, but will complete the Khan Academy Videos and Activities as remediation.
Resources (2)
I will ask a student volunteer to summarize what we have learned about linear functions over the last two days. Students will then complete an Exit Card where they are asked to create their own linear function based on a scenario.

The harvest company - the last cars filled with grain comes to an end, leave from fields, but also during this period there are unforeseen situations damages from which are estimated in tens of thousands of hryvnias. The inspector of the Center of promotion of GU Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine in the Nikolaev area Marina Litvinova reports about it.
So, on July 29 in the Zhovtnevy region of the Nikolaev area, near Greygovo's village on one of fields there was a KAMAZ car fire. The car with the trailer, loaded wheat, moved along landing. But during a car stop from the heated engine the eddish lit up. Fire quickly extended on a dry grass, also the car cabin at the same time lit up. The driver of "KAMAZ" quickly reacted, left a cabin and started fire extinguishing by make-shifts. Fire was liquidated, but fire managed to cause great material damage to the business owner.
As a result of ignition are destroyed - tires, an electrical wiring and a covering of a cabin of the truck. And as fire strongly damaged "KamAZ" body.
Total amount of damage made about 70 thousand UAH
