Cosplay of the Day: Robin and Batgirl Don't Need Batman to Save the Day
Pfffft, who needs Batman to come to the rescue when you've got two perfectly awesome superheroes? Let these Batgirl and Robin cosplayers show you how it's done.
Even The Dark Knight, one of the best and coolest superheroes around, needs a little help sometimes, which is why he has Robin and Batgirl to lend a helping hand (or a helping punch). But these sidekicks are just as capable of kicking butt when their fearless leader isn't around.
Today's cosplay is a submission from photographer Carlos Adama, whose work we previously featured in highlighting the amazing Captain America, Bucky Barnes and Red Skull cosplay shoot. Carlos sent us his recent photo shoot for Free Comic Book Day, where nerds around the world rejoiced as they got to visit their favorite local comic book spots to nab some free goodies.
Among the superheroes Carlos photographed that day were Deadpool, a Stormtrooper, Howard the Duck, and this charming pair of cosplayers -- Roxy Kinnin as Batgirl and Lil Prince as Damian Wayne/Robin. (You may recall Lil Prince as Bucky Barnes in that aforementioned Captain America shoot.)
Check out some pics of Roxy and Lil Prince below, or head over to Carlos Adama's Flickr page for more adventures!

When you buy a cell phone, you may technically own it. But that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it. As it stands now, mobile users cannot move between carriers while under contract. To lure customers, carriers often offer low--if not free--prices on mobile phones as part of a long-term contract. While under contract, users can not take that phone to a rival offering better deals. Being able to move between carriers is called "unlocking" and although it's common among both smartphone and tablet users, it is illegal. However, the White House is now getting behind the push to make unlocking legal, so long as consumers aren't doing so while under a contract with a carrier. The move would allow consumers to buy a discounted phone from Verizon (NYSE:VZ), for example, and change to Sprint (NYSE:S). But there is a catch, according to tech blog Boy Genius Report Co-founder Jonathan Geller. Verizon and Sprint phones use CDMA technologies, while AT&T (NYSE:T) and T-Mobile use GSM. GSM technology allows users to switch phones with a SIM card, CDMA technology does not. "Sprint and Verizon phones you cannot unlock- they have a network configured," he says. "But within the next two years, you should be able to unlock all new phones, because they will be LTE devices. This is part of the FCC's new guidelines" But why does the White House care about your cell phone? The Library of Congress is responsible for the banning of unlocking because it oversees certain copyright manners, according to Geller. It banned unlocking last year, effective this January, if a carrier does not give permission. Technology activists created the "Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal" petition on the White Houses' website, which has more than 100,000 signatures, prompting the government to respond, Geller says. This latest move will likely push the Library of Congress to reverse its decision, he says. "[Allowing unlocking] is a win for consumers, and needed to be done," he says. "It's preposterous that it's against the law to unlock a phone." Unlocked phones are sold all over the internet and is legal in most countries. Unlocking a phones' software is extremely easy and cheap, Geller says. Carriers will sometimes do it for free, again so long as you are not under contract, and codes to unlock a phone can be purchased online for between $5 and $15. "There is a copyright penalty for unlocking codes," he says, noting the people profiting from them are breaking the law and can be sued. "A wireless carrier can collect between $200 and $2,500 for a violation. Criminal penalties include jail time, so it's a big deal."

Penguin 2.0 rolled out on May 22nd 2013
11:16 am in Online Business by Artem-Iashin
It's that time again. After a long series of mini updates for Penguin 1.0, the newest version, referred to by Matt Cutts as Penguin 2.0 will be implemented into Google's algorithm. The new update was just announced by Matt Cutts on May 22nd, so we don't know exactly what changed yet. However, based on what Cutts has said leading up to the update, as well as what we learned from Penguin 1.0, we can make some likely assumptions. Please note that what follows is solely my best guess at what Google has changed with Penguin 2.0, and how to recover. New data may be revealed as tests get underway that changes the SEO community's collective knowledge.

Salesforce.com Inc on Monday said quarterly revenue rose 36 percent to $1.08 billion, narrowly beating Wall Street expectations, as its June acquisition of email marketing firm ExactTarget boosted sales.
Excluding certain items, the cloud-computing company earned 9 cents per share in its fiscal third quarter, ended October 31, in line with analysts' consensus, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Continue Reading Below
For the final quarter of fiscal 2014, which ends January 31, Salesforce said it expects to earn 5 cents or 6 cents per share, slightly below the 7 cents expected.
Shares of the San Francisco-based company are trading near all-time highs as it, under Chief Executive Marc Benioff, has roughly quadrupled sales in four years. But Salesforce has spent heavily on acquiring new lines of business in recent quarters and paid $2.5 billion in June for ExactTarget.
Total operating expenses rose 38 percent from a year prior.
Salesforce issued its full-year revenue guidance for fiscal 2015, which begins next February, saying it would fall between $5.15 billion and $5.20 billion.
The company's shares closed down 3.1 percent, or $1.80, at $55.51 on Monday, after reaching an all-time closing high of $57.87 on Friday. In after-hours trade on Monday, the shares were up less than 1 percent.
Salesforce also announced a partnership with Hewlett-Packard Co , saying it would begin selling its software on HP's enterprise business hardware units.

Return of the Armchair All-Rounder: Match Analysis, BD vs Aus ODI #2
by Razab Q. Chowdhury
Published: 13th April, 2011
I'm back! Having watched every ball of this ODI and most of Bangladesh's games I wanted to give my two anas and look at why we got clobbered yesterday.
BD Innings:
People have talked to death about Imrul Kayes' horrible ball-hogging. The irony is that this is nothing new. Imrul has always struggled to play angles and rotate strike. If there's width he'll thrash and he seems to have shelved the compulsive hooking/pulling of his. Other than that his game is/has always been built on circumspection in the face of good bowling (his ODI strike rate of 64% is close to his List A one of 70%). And he does not get noticed as much because he is in the slip stream of his partner (Imrul & Tamim Partnerships) And that last part bears repeating. Good bowling. Not Sreesanth bowling all over the place on a shirt-front - which has been Imrul's most/only explosive performance to date.
What the Aussie pacers, and Lee in particular did well yesterday was bowl wicket to wicket, giving no room and they bowled FAST. For good measure they also varied their lengths wonderfully. Imrul looked what he was - outclassed. And when he did get balls in his preferred areas he kept finding the fielder.
Nafees did the best he could till he gave it away by the lack of taking a big stride out to meet Steve's ordinary tweakers. His body language was better, he was positive in his footwork, and once he got past his initial slashing-at-balls-outside-off phase, shot selection in general was decent. I have always liked him and he maybe playing himself back into the #3 or even opening slot.
Rokibul's out for nothing was a blessing in disguise. In present form and mindset he does NOT belong in a club side, let alone the Tigers. Such a high back-lift and yet he is consistently late on his strokes. Playing from his crease with no intent to meet the ball. Poor bat-speed. Lack of a follow-through. He is just negativeness personified! Surely Alok or Shubagoto gets a game in his place on the final ODI?
Shakib got out to the best ball bowled by a spinner over both innings. Drifted away, dipped and ripped through the gate to take bails. Happens and no need to castigate the batter there. Would Shakib have batted more positively today? Guess we'll never know.
Two minor quibbles about this partnership - Mushfiqur should have requested a runner. We missed out on some twos because of his cramps. Second - the bat seems to turn in their hand whenever they try to come down the wicket and hit down. Combination of footwork not being good enough so that they are _beside_ the ball when making contact and not having more control of their top-hand. These are coachable aspects.
Some macro points: #1 All the batters also need to get better at taking pace of their strokes to long-on and long-off. Which leades me to point #2. Overall our batters continued to show their lack of fitness by not regularly running the first one hard and thereby creating the opportunity for the 2nd run.
In contrast, the Aussie fielding and athleticism was wonderful to watch. Old man Hussey sprinting to stop a near boundary and firing a throw in. Lee running like a mad man all over their place; these guys are well past 30! And their bowling was sooo consistent. Even their weak links such as Xavi bowled wicket to wicket lines. Very few long-hops. Lots of variations of pace. Consistently on around off and mid stump. These guys are playing with a chip on their shoulder after getting bounced from the World Cup. They've done their homework for these pitches and fielding is backing up some outstanding execution of bowling plans.
Our total was 40-50 short of what that pitch and opponent's class demanded but given our batting capabilities and the Aussie excellence I really can not expect more if a Tamim or Shakib (our only two explosive players) do not fire.
Aussie Innings:
Obviously Shane Watson is the story here. But for a twist, I will begin by focusing first on the one bowler who did not suffer as much carnage - Shakib. What did he do that he didn't get a double digit bowling economy (in fact it was 5 RPO off 7 overs including during PowerPlays).
Anyway, it is not the spinners that I hold the most culpable. It's the pacers. In any attack, your "fast bowlers" set the tone. If they are accurate, hostile, parsimonious and penetrative, the spinners can thrive. Our man Shafiul - who seems to wilt whenever there is a biffer of the mode of a Shewag or Shane at the receiving end, started bowling wide and giving Watto room to free his arm, then over compensated by bowling leggish and then over compensated by bowling full. Pathetic. You see such stuff in school cricket! His partner Rubel could not land two balls on the same spot. When your captain does/can not have the faith that you will intimidate the opponents enforcers, then what hope can the spinners have. One of the big reasons for the Banglawash of the Kiwis was that the pacers were consistently taking care of Macca and Rider - the Kiwi biffers. In these days of powerful bats and baseball infused slugging, without early domination of hitters, spinners will have a tough time.
As for fielding - we didn't dive often quickly enough a few times and displayed horrible lack of anticipation on the two dropped catches. Razzak had the opportunity to do those neat tricks where you palm the ball up and then come back inside the rope to complete the catch. Something like this:
But who am I kidding. Razzak could advertise for Geritrol with his fielding "abilities". Otherwise actually the fielding was ok. Not much fielding to do when the ball is in the galleries! As or Rokibul's drop - is he not supposed to be in our R.A.B? Perhaps his poor batting is impacting his typically competent fielding.
Final verdict: an Okay essay with the bat given the quality of the bowling and fielding we faced and an acceptable one with the limited attacking batsmanship we have. When defending, we did not set the right tone and let an outstanding player utilize our lack of quality to quickly put us under the kind of cosh from which we, as a cricketing nation, have never been able to recover (Macca's 28 ball 80 in the 3rd ODI in 2007, England's 391 for 4 in 2005, etc.)
On a different note:
A word about our soon to be former head coach, Jamie: We always argue about his negativity (quite possibly true) and his inability to get the team to take advantage of PowerPlays but is it really his fault? Kudos to Holden (Yet another Sid thread) for unearthing this: CI Article on Watson in 2007 WC
So Jamie converted Watson into the boundary hitting machine he is today, and that too for the PP overs. Clearly the fact that we have no one in our side who can do it is more one of skillacq and skillapp issue and not teaching/coaching; Jamies protestations indicate as much too. Add to that we do not have hulks of a batsmen. Our tallest batters, Junaid & Riyadh are of the "min-min" type and reluctant to use their god-given power.
Oh well c'est la vie. Hoping the upwards trajectory continues in ODI #3.

Author Notes: Apples baked in cider somehow taste more of themselves. It goes without saying that this is comfort food, easy to put together and pop in the oven just as soon as dinner is underway. If possible, use cider from a farm stand or farmer's market—it has a deeper, more concentrated flavor than the grocery store brands, which wash out in comparison. The comfort extends to those times when you are not eating dessert for self-improvement purposes, but want something just a little sweet. These won't do much damage. You can even omit the sugar if you want to feel pure. - Sally —Sally
Food52 Review: This dead-simple recipe should be in your back pocket all through apple season. Once you reduce some cider and core a few apples it's virtually hands off, and the results can be anything you want them to be. You can eat the sweet, mellowed apples bare -- a more virtuous cousin of the apple pie -- to restore you when you're feeling cold and low. Or you can dress them up with creme fraiche or ice cream, to celebrate the season. Note: We used Galas and found them to be perfect -- for a primer on the best apples for baking, go here. Feel free to omit the butter to make this dessert parve. —The Editors
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 1 hrs
cups apple cider
firm cooking apples, like Braeburn, Gala, Fuji or Granny Smith
teaspoon ground cinnamon
tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
tablespoons brown sugar
pinch salt
- Heat the oven to 375° F.
- Pour the cider into a small skillet and bring it to a boil. Continue to boil over medium heat until the liquid reduces by slightly less than half. It should be vaguely syrupy, but it will not be too thick. It will take less time in a skillet than in a saucepan because there is more surface evaporation. Either way, don't just walk off to another room and leave it—you might set off your smoke alarm if you forget it. I speak from experience.
- While the cider is reducing, peel the skin from the top third of each apple. Use a melon baller to dig out the apple core, leaving about 1/3-inch of the apple intact at the bottom. Place the apples in a pie pan or baking dish.
- Stir the cinnamon, butter and brown sugar into the cider syrup. Pour it into the apple cavities, allowing it to overflow into the baking dish. Bake the apples for 40 to 50 minutes, until they are pleasantly soft but not collapsing. Baste the apples occasionally in the cider syrup if you happen to think of it, and add more cider if the liquid starts to dry out completely. The exact cooking time depends on the variety and size of the apples—some take longer than others.
- Serve the apples warm in dessert bowls with the extra syrup spooned over them. If you want to dress them up, drizzle them with some heavy cream, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Custard sauce would be even better if you're feeling ambitious. If any apples are leftover, warm them up for breakfast and eat with yogurt.

NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has suffered an apparent glitch that has left the spacecraft in a protective safe mode and stalled science observations as it circles the Red Planet, the space agency announced late Wednesday.
The malfunction occurred on Monday when the orbiter unexpectedly rebooted its main computer and entered safe mode, an automatic safeguard designed to protect the spacecraft from further damage when it detects a glitch.
NASA engineers are reviewing potential causes for the malfunction aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, or MRO, in the hopes of resuming its science observations of the red planet.
"We are going to bring the spacecraft back to normal operations, but we are going to do so in a cautious way, treating this national treasure carefully," MRO project manager Jim Erickson said at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "The process will take at least a few days."
The Mars orbiter's malfunction occurred Monday at about 7:25 a.m. ET, when the spacecraft was flying behind the Red Planet as seen from Earth. While MRO has suffered glitches that put it in safe mode five times since its 2005 launch, Monday's malfunction does not resemble any of those earlier glitches, NASA officials said.
An initial analysis suggests that the malfunction may have been caused by the detection of a power surge that lasted between 200 nanoseconds and 41 seconds. The power surge may have been real, or it could have been a phantom reading, mission managers said.
One theory is that the MRO spacecraft may have been hit by a cosmic ray, causing an erroneous power surge reading for about nine microseconds, more than enough time to trigger the computer reboot, mission managers said.
MRO flight engineers managed to bring about a partial revival of the spacecraft late Monday, when they boosted its communication rate from 40 data bits per second to a level some 10,000 times faster. The spacecraft's batteries are charged, and its expansive solar wings are generating electricity, mission managers said.
Launched in August 2005, the MRO spacecraft is NASA's youngest orbiter in a fleet of spacecraft circling the Red Planet. It arrived in orbit around Mars in October 2006 to begin a planned two-year mission. The spacecraft's initial $720 million mission has since been extended by two more years to 2010.
During its time at Mars, MRO has beamed home stunning vistas of the Red Planet and has tracked NASA's twin rovers Spirit and Opportunity during their exploration of the Martian surface.
The spacecraft has also used its high-resolution camera to scout for future Martian landing sites and spotted NASA's most recent probe — the Phoenix Mars Lander — as it parachuted down to a pinpoint landing on the planet's arctic plains in May 2008.

If you were to search this site's archives, you would find that from time to time I have written about growing up in South Dakota, and the fact that explosives played a significant role in our summer's entertainment. So every couple of years we leave liberal, wimpy Minnesota behind–the state where our legislature debates whether citizens can be trusted with sparklers–and drive to South Dakota for an old-fashioned Fourth of July.
We didn't arrive in time today for our town's parade, which is a fun event much frequented by politicians. (If the stickers we saw on people's clothes after the parade are any guide, Congresswoman Kristi Noem, who lives 15 miles or so from my home town, has nothing to worry about.) But we got here in plenty of time to do our fireworks shopping.
In South Dakota, you can buy fireworks in emporia the size of a small warehouse. Anyone who stumbles in can buy the sorts of explosives that one normally associates with municipal displays. The place where we went today isn't just a store; it deals directly with factories in China and markets its own product line. This sign seems like an appropriate caution. The animal you see reflected in the window is a dinosaur or dragon or something by the highway:
The inside of the store:
The family that owns the business is strongly religious:
So many of the products they sell have a religious theme, like the Ten Commandments: one shell for each commandment.
Other fireworks have a South Dakota theme, like the Dakota Double. Note also Walleye World and Custer's Last Stand. If Custer had this much gunpowder, he might have won:
It is, of course, a family business. The owner's daughter in law is featured as the Blonde Bomber:
So the owner's son, having assessed our needs–my brother told him that I am a "pyro," which is not true, strictly speaking–recommended the "King of Kings" package, which is proprietary to this business and is more powerful than anything previously on the consumer market. Four reloadable mortars and 24 shells:
The proof of the pudding, of course, is in the exploding. So what does a backyard fireworks display look like in South Dakota? Bear in mind that tonight, pretty much everyone's backyard was blowing up. Here are a few examples that my 15-year-old daughter filmed. I lit our contribution during the second half of this short video:
There were a lot of fireworks going off in our part of the lake:
This shows one of our contributions to the evening's festivities:
So we had another fun Fourth of July in South Dakota; not only, of course, because we blew up so much gunpowder.
Not coincidentally, in South Dakota, if you buy a handgun, you don't have to receive any special training or certification to carry it on your person in public places, either concealed or openly. If you are a citizen of South Dakota, you are presumed to be capable of handling a firearm properly. For good reason. When Minnesota comes to resemble South Dakota, we will know that the battle for freedom is being won.

The last two months have been a mini-Golden Age for the "special dividend," as companies, anticipating that tax rates on dividends will shoot upwards on Jan. 1 as part of the fiscal-cliff fiasco, have accelerated payments that were originally scheduled for January. But as the Wall Street Journal's Jason Zweig points out in a column this week, 2012 was also a record-breaking year for regular dividends, even before the fiscal-cliff panic. Companies in the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index will have paid out $281 billion in regular dividends by the end of the year—17% more than in 2011, and 13% more than in 2008, the previous high-water mark.
Zweig expresses hope that these rising payouts are harbingers of "a long-term change in the way companies treat cash and their outside shareholders"—a change that could be encouraging for retirees and other investors who need to rely on their portfolios for an income. A 12-year-span marked by two disastrous bear markets has broken investors' faith that they can rely on stocks for low-risk growth; to keep investors on board, Zweig argues, more companies will need to pay higher dividends to compensate them for the perceived dangers of owning stocks.
The result could be something of a Chester A. Arthur stock market – one where most of the returns from the stock market come from dividend income, as was the case for U.S. stocks in the 19th century. And it would give older investors an intriguing option: They could think of the stock allocation in their portfolio as another income source, one that might occasionally give them a boost in the form of price appreciation as well. (Of course, there's one big caveat: Dividend payouts aren't guaranteed and can get slashed when a company's earnings get squeezed, as investors found out in 2009, when S&P 500 dividends dove by about 20%.)

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) techniques, such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Homeopathy, and Herbal Therapy are neither entirely medical or psychological in nature, but rather fall into a category of their own. Though many people turn to these techniques for relief from their depressive symptoms (Depression being one of the top five conditions CAM approaches are called upon to treat), very few of these approaches have been tested in clinical trials for depression. Though there is often little scientific evidence to support these practices, there is nevertheless a long history of use with many of these practices. In addition, enough people report that they have gained relief from using CAM approaches to treat depression, that these treatments must be discussed in the context of this document. The premise of these alternative treatments is that no one suffers from depression in exactly the same way, or for the same reasons. Therefore, the treatment of depression should take into account the whole individual to find the remedy that will decrease symptoms.
Perhaps the best studied and most famous CAM remedy for depression involves the use of St. John's Wort, which is an herbal preparation of a plant extract. Research does support the use of St. John's Wort as a stand-alone alternative treatment for depression. In parts of Europe, this herb is often the preferred remedy for treating depression.
At this time, St. John's Wort is probably the only true stand-alone CAM therapy that can be recommended for treatment of depression. All other CAM therapies are typically considered adjuncts (additions) to other treatments. The benefits provided by other CAM therapies, such as exercise, 5-HTP, SAMe and Omega-3 oils are less consistent, and seem to depend on the severity of a person's depression, as well as his or her individual reaction to such therapies. Additional research to further clarify the role of these CAM treatments for depression is necessary.
According to many CAM practitioners, a coordinated combination of therapies will likely produce better treatment benefits than any single remedy taken alone. This is especially true for the treatment of depression; becoming more engaged and active in your therapy tends to lead to better results. For example, consulting with a health care professional, taking Omega-3 Fatty acids and a B-vitamin, and exercising might help you gain control over your depression more quickly than solely relying on one CAM treatment approach.
Though many CAM remedies are available over the counter in the form of herbs and supplements which are often thought of as harmless, these products can be dangerous when misused. It is not enough to read a book about CAM remedies (or a web page - including this web page!). Instead, the wise course is to consult with a a qualified CAM practitioner who can help determine which combination of treatments, and in what dosages, would be most beneficial for you.

ConcepTbestuur needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 134 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
ConcepT is the study association of Civil Engineering and Management of the University of Twente in the Netherlands. We need a new corporate identity design that includes a color scheme, letterhead, business card, envelopes and templates for PowerPoint / posters / e-mail newsletters.
Our current logo is available here.
We would like to see the following:
- A corporate identity design based on our current logo
- A new logo and corporate identity design
Feel free to design both if you want.
As a study association, we represent the students of Civil Engineering and Management. Our members are the engineers of the future. We encourage entrepreneurship. Our three main areas of interest are construction management, traffic and transport and water management. The main activities ConcepT organizes are excursions to building sites, lectures about interesting developments in the world of civil engineering and social activities like parties. We also get and provide feedback from students about the education. We would like to see this in some way incorporated in the possible new logo.
Our full name is Studievereniging ConcepT, the design may include the word 'Studievereniging' (the Dutch word for study association). An icon-only logo is also fine.
A note about the color scheme: If possible, we would like to have 4 different color schemes. This way we can categorize the promotion for our activities with an easy recognizable color.
- Two capitals in the brand name, the first C and the last T
- Suitable for both small and large print size
- Too many details

The Honeynet Project Chinese Chapter Status Report (Period Apr 2007 to Dec 2008)
1. Changes in the structure of your organization.
All members of Chinese Chapter (i.e. The Artemis Project) are still from ERCIS, Institute of Computer Science and Technology, Peking University, China. Although we are seaking for contributors from other organizations.
The structure of Chinese Chapter has minor change during the last period. Now we have 2 faculties, 2 staffs, 6 master students and 2 undergraduate students. Jianwei Zhuge and Chengyu Song are Full Members of the Honeynet Project. The size of Chinese Chapter will remain stable within 5 faculties/staffs and 10 students in the next several years.
We are seeking for experienced Chinese researchers or developers to join our team, we provide full-time job positions, Ph.D. and Master student programs of Peking University, and intern positions.
2. List current chapter members and their activities
1. List current technologies deployed.
1) Low-Interaction Honeypots:
• Nepenthes
2) High-Interaction Honeypots:
• HoneyBow
• Typical Gen 3 Honeynet
• Client-side High-Interaction Honeypots for malicious website measurement.
3) Distributed Honeypots/Honeynets:
• Matrix Chinese Distributed Honeynet for CNCERT/CC (~200 honeypots, 50+ nodes distributed at 30+ provinces).
• GDH Phase One CNA node: the only GDH node in China
• Leurrecom.org Beijing node.
4) Mobile Honeypots for Bluetooth, WiFi, and MMS - Prototype
2. Activity timeline: Highlight attacks, compromises, and interesting information collected.
1. List any new tools, projects or ideas you are currently researching or developing.
2. List tools you enhanced during the last year
3. Would you like to integrate this with any other tools, or you looking for help or collaboration with others in testing or developing the tool?
Not currently.
4. Explain what kind of help or tools or collaboration you are interested in.
We have proposed Sebek improvement project, to improve current Sebek with better stability and invisibility, we propose two different honeypot monitoring solutions for both commonly used high-interaction honeypot deployment approaches. Firstly, we propose to improve current Sebek win32 version to provide Direct-on-System honeypot monitoring solution for both physical honeypot deployment and virtual machine honeypot deployment. Secondly, we will research and prototyping Virtualization-based honeypot monitoring solution for virtual machine honeypots.
1. Highlight any unique findings, attacks, tools, or methods.
See our papers for details.
2. Any trends seen in the past year?
Web-based Malware has becomes the major security threat to the normal Internet users in China, and the phenomenon is driven by the blackhat underground economy.
3. What are you using for data analysis?
4. What is working well, and what is missing, what data analysis functionality would you like to see developed?
We are experimenting with some kinds of data analysis techniques such as cluster analysis (and further root cause analysis), baseline analysis and correlation analysis, aiming to provide practical methods for identifying high-level attack events from the huge dataset collected by the distributed honeynet. We think such high-level data analysis methods (integrating with low-level data analysis techniques and drill-in mechanisms) need further research and development, especially for the distributed honeynet deployment such as GDH and Matrix.
1. Are you working on or did you publish any papers or presentations, such as KYE or academic papers? If yes, please provide a description and link (if possible)
English Papers
Chinese Journal Papers

The SERP checker tool by Ahrefs allows you to see real-time search results from any location, without a need to use proxies and location-specific IP addresses.
Search results differ widely depending on the location you search from. Use our tool to pull and analyze SERPs from over 100 countries.
Ranking difficulty varies by country because it depends on the top-ranking pages of each particular local SERP.
Ahrefs SERP checker gives you an accurate ranking difficulty score and detailed SEO stats for the top10 search results. This lets you see the whole picture and make informed decisions based on your own experience.
For every top-ranking page, we show you a number of backlink metrics that can help you gauge the competition and understand the ranking difficulty of a keyword:
Domain Rating (DR) shows you how strong the backlink profile of a website is. The higher the DR, the more authoritative the link is.
URL Rating (UR) shows you the backlink profile strength of a specific URL. This metric has the highest correlation with rankings.
Backlinks count shows you the number of inbound links pointing to a URL.
Domains count is where you can see the number of unique referring domains that point to a URL.
If you want to transition from raw numbers to the actual linking websites or pages, you can do that with just one click, which takes you to our Site Explorer tool.
Ahrefs boasts the largest backlink database, so you can be sure our backlink stats and SEO metrics are accurate.
Ahrefs SERP checker shows you how much organic search traffic top results get from all the keywords they rank for.
Once you know which pages on the SERPs get the most traffic, you can analyze them in Site Explorer to replicate their success.
This traffic estimate data is exclusive to our SERP checker. You won't find it in any other similar tool.
Some SERPs are solid as a rock, so it's extremely hard to outrank the top results. But some are more dynamic, which means you have a chance to rank in the top (or even get #1).
Ahrefs' SERP checker tool has a feature called "SERP position history", which allows you to see historical rankings of the current top5 ranking pages. Based on their historical ranking patterns, you can guess whether the search engine is satisfied with the SERP and won't let anything new in, or it'll be happy to promote other relevant pages to the top to see what happens.
To make your SERP analysis more immersive, we've integrated our SERP checker into several Ahrefs tools.
In the Organic Keywords section of Site Explorer, you can pull any keyword's cached SERP with the main SEO metrics of search results. You can analyze up to 100 top positions on search there.
In Keywords Explorer, the SERP checker will only show you the top10 ranking pages, but there it will be a real-time SERP, not the cached one.

The King of Dragons (Arcade) review
"Golden Axe attracts a lot of flak nowadays, so perhaps it takes a lesser game to demonstrate all it did right. King Arthur to Axe's Conan, The King of Dragons differentiates itself with a supposedly brainier RPG approach to the genre, but its paper-thinness in other areas short-changes it as anything but an occasional dumb-fun good time. "
