Rihanna Has Another Mullet [PHOTOS]
Rihanna's trend of bad hairstyles in 2013 continues. The singer is rocking a mullet…again.
She's showing her signature pixie on the top, but she's gone mullet in the back. She even wore this style at NYFW of all places. Maybe she's trying to be a rebel and rock an ugly hairstyle to show she doesn't play by anyone's rules, but honestly? We no likey.
The notion that even a hot girl can rock a mullet and not have it detract from her hotness is erroneous here. We love RiRi. Her temperature rivals that of lava. But her 'do? No bueno.
She can pose all sexy, wearing berry nail polish and sticking a finger in her mouth while giving off a smoldering, if a little vacant, stare. But a mullet still isn't sexy.
She is also shared a photo of her with Nicki Minaj, also rocking a different hairstyle. Her Minajesty is the queen of wiggin' out and is all sorts of platinum here. It's way prettier than her cohort's mullet. No, RiRi, no. That mullet has got to go. #RihannaMulletG2G.

Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) launched a $50 million coding initiative on Thursday to get girls interested in computer science.
Continue Reading Below
This comes weeks after the tech giant unveiled one-sided diversity figures that showed a global staff comprised just 30% women (and 60% of white males).
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company in part blamed education for the lopsided diversity numbers, and pledged to increase computer science education for minorities and women.
"Coding is a new literacy and it gives people the potential to create, innovate and quite literally change the world," said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki "Coding isn't just a skill useful for working at a tech company."
The new female-targeted initiative, dubbed Made with Code, launched Thursday with an educational website, Google+ page and inspirational YouTube videos of successful women programmers.
It provides resources intended to educate young girls and inspire them to code, such as introductory Blockly-based coding projects, a web-based, graphical programming language.
The projects are all fun and elementary (targeting children), such as enabling coders to play with x and y coordinates to accessorize selfies with cartoon berets or blouses or build basic animated GIFs.
"You are a girl who understands bits exist to be assembled," one young girl says in a promotional video for the initiative. "When you learn to code you can assemble anything that you see missing."
To build out the network, Google is partnering with female-focused groups, such as Girls Scouts of the USA and Girls, Inc., to introduce Made with Code to their respective circles.
YouTube also has uploaded a series of videos of women who code every day in their dream jobs. One of these women is Danielle Feinberg, a director of photography for lighting at Pixar Animation Studios.
"There's a million things you can do with code in animated film," Feinberg says. "You can make a giant head of red curly hair that moves appropriate with the character. You can make water. You can make schools of fish."
Feinberg, a Harvard University graduate, said it took her a while to realize she was just as smart as the men in her school and work circles. In time she realized it was only confidence she lacked.
"I wish for the younger generation of girls to just believe in themselves," she said. "Put their voice out there so they can be heard and be a part of the conversation."

This week, The V Foundation for Cancer Research and ESPN are teaming up with the NBA and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in the fight against pediatric cancer by raising awareness and funds to support lifesaving work for children.
Continuing through March 4, the NBA family – led by Hoops for St. Jude ambassadors – will engage fans through this unique relationship, designed to advance cancer research and patient care benefitting children and families battling pediatric cancer. One hundred percent of donations to The V Foundation from this campaign will go directly toward cancer research benefitting St. Jude patients. Together they form a powerful force in pediatric cancer research.
March 4 marks the 20th anniversary of The V Foundation, which was founded in 1993 by ESPN and legendary N.C. State basketball coach and ESPN commentator, the late Jim Valvano. As a cancer patient, Valvano worked to eradicate the disease by championing investment in promising young cancer researchers. To date, The V Foundation has helped carry his dream forward by awarding more than $100-million in cancer research grants. This new endeavor will allow the organizations to work together to help make the shared vision of a world free of pediatric cancer a reality.
St. Jude treats some of the toughest cases of children battling cancer and no family ever pays St. Jude for anything.
Center Marc Gasol of the Grizzlies has been a strong supporter of St. Jude since his arrival in Memphis in 2008 and this year has become an official St. Jude Ambassador along with NBA players and coaches Pau Gasol, David Lee, Kevin Love, Lionel Hollins, and George Karl.
After a recent visit to St. Jude, Marc Gasol shared his thoughts on the program:
Question: What made you want to get involved and become a St. Jude Ambassador?
Answer: That's easy. The kids. To be able to walk through those doors, be able to spend time with them and play with them is one of the best parts of my life. I think I'm very lucky to live here in Memphis where I can get to St. Jude often. It's a place where you maybe think at first that you're going to cheer them up by playing with them. But what I find is that they play with me and it makes me happy. One day we might read a book or do drawings. Another day it's making cupcakes with different toppings. We even have tea parties and, yeah, I get right down there at the those little tables. Sometimes I get to hear the older kids tell their stories. All the time I spend with them is very special.
Q: Has there been an influence from your family?
A: My Mom is a doctor. My father was a nurse administrator in Spain. Pau went to medical school before he focused on a career in basketball. So there has always been a tie to the medical community and an awareness that there was work to be done and opportunities for everyone to do their part. I believe our parents gave Pau and me a great education and a sense of how the real world is. They have never pushed us to do anything, whether it was basketball or our studies. But if we chose something, they have always encouraged us to make a full commitment. Sure, our family has been touched by cancer, like most families. My grandfather and my aunt both passed away from cancer. But that is not the reason for my interest or involvement. I just like to like to be with the kids and to help them and get the message across the world. Any research or discoveries at St. Jude are spread to hospitals everywhere. We have similar research hospitals in Spain and they all share information, discoveries, treatments. I also like to stress that once a child and their family comes through the doors of St. Jude they do not have to worry about money. No one ever pays. It's only about taking care of the kids. When you see what that means to families who come here, you understand how special this is to so many people.
Q: What was your first visit to St. Jude like and how have the visits affected you personally?
A: I was only about 17 or 18 the first time that I came out with Pau. I can't say that I have a specific memory of one thing or one person, but what stays with me is that the first time you come through those doors you get a sense of hope and happiness. Of course, when anyone moves to Memphis I think your awareness goes up and it becomes a bigger part of you. You learn and you find out what makes St. Jude different. It's not a hospital. At least, not the way that you usually think of a hospital. You come here and you see happiness and colors and kids playing and learning and teaching each other. You see a place that is filled with smiles and hope. It's a place of fun.
Q: What is the reaction of your teammates and fellow NBA players to what you do for St. Jude?
A: I'm not pushy. I don't try to convince people. I'll recruit if I have to. But I think once players do come, you don't have to convince anyone. I tell them how they can help, what they can do. I just had a visit with some of the new guys on our team — Austin Daye, Ed Davis, Dexter Pittman, Jon Leuer — and it always has an effect.
Q: Do you have favorite memories of your St. Jude experiences?
A: I have a lot of memories. I been here living in Memphis now five years. Sadly, some of those memories are of kids who are not here anymore, times when there are not happy endings. But I've had those relationships with them and the relationships and experiences will never go away. I've had so many experiences of watching kids get better. A lot of them are basketball fans and they love to watch our games and give us their opinions on how we do. We played in Brooklyn the other night and won and a lot of them watched on TV. We had a halftime segment with Coach Hollins that we did at St. Jude. They loved that. They loved seeing themselves. It's just great to see them so excited, so happy.
Q: What is the message you want to get out from this campaign?
A: The message should be St. Jude. It's a place of hope. Anything is possible and we need your help. You and your entire family. For the kids.
Visit www.stjude.org/hoops or www.jimmyv.org/nba or text HOPE to 50333 or JIMMYV to 80888 to make a $10 donation today and help create a world free of pediatric cancer.

Obama seeks chemical weapons rebuke without entering Syrian swamp
With Secretary of State John Kerry warning Monday that Syria's apparent use of chemical weapons would not go "without consequence," the trick is to come up with a strong rebuke for Bashar Assad's regime that doesn't commit U.S. military backing to the wider civil war.
Foreign policy analysts and Middle East experts say that the U.S. administration is trying to peel the chemical weapons issue away from the rest of the conflict, which is raging into a third year with more than 100,000 dead and no end in sight. The immediate U.S. goal, analysts said, is punishment for Assad's alleged breach of President Barack Obama's "red line" against chemical warfare – but not the abrupt collapse of the regime.
"It's a difficult one," said Joshua Landis, director of Middle East Studies at the University of Oklahoma and author of the Syria Comment blog. "(Obama) has got to make it count so he isn't called weak and feckless, but he also can't get sucked into the Syrian swamp."
American demands for Assad to step aside have become muted as the conflict has transformed into a regional free-for-all, with al Qaida-linked militants dominating the rebel movement and Assad getting backup from Iran and the Lebanese guerrillas of Hezbollah. The Turkey-based political opposition, crippled by infighting and beholden to rival Persian Gulf powers, is in no shape to even nominally govern a landscape marked by gun-toting extremists, war-ravaged infrastructure and millions of displaced civilians.
Some analysts contend that the United States could've avoided this scenario by taking more forceful action earlier and building a moderate, Western-friendly force to fight Assad; others praise Obama's reluctance to get entangled in another long-term sectarian conflict so soon after the Iraq war. In any case, today's reality is that the United States finds itself with no reliable partner in Syria as it mulls a risky intervention.
Rami Khouri. the director of the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut, said it was "pretty amateurish policy" to believe that Assad could be dissuaded from resorting to future mass-casualty attacks by limited, carefully calibrated U.S.-led strikes. He said that the United States and its allies are misreading the nature of a regime that is fighting for survival.
"These people don't respond to pinprick, laser-like, finely targeted attacks. It brings about the opposite reaction. I think it would just escalate the situation," Khouri said.
"It's like a bunch of gladiators fighting in a pit," he added. "One is going to die and one is going to win."
Even as momentum for a military response appears to build at the White House and the State Department, the Pentagon continues to sound a more cautious note.
Speaking in Indonesia, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel indicated Monday that the United States would be unlikely to take unilateral military action in Syria and said he didn't want to discuss specific responses "until we get all the facts and we are absolutely confident of what happened in Syria." That sounds at odds with Kerry saying the same day that chemical weapons use in Syria was "undeniable."
Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chief of Staffs, also has cautioned against a hasty response in letters to Congress. He's detailed the difficulties and costs of trying to limit Syria's chemical weapons capability and stressed that the rebels were not prepared to take charge should Assad's regime collapse.
"At a minimum, this option would call for a no-fly zone as well as air and missile strikes involving hundreds of aircraft, ships, submarines and other enables," Dempsey wrote to Democratic Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. "Thousands of special operations forces and other ground forces would be needed to assault and secure critical sites. Costs could also average well over $1 billion per month. The impact would be the control of some, but not all chemical weapons."
Richard Haass, a former senior State Department official who now heads the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, said the Obama administration was searching for "a halfway house" – a big enough response to deter the regime from further use of chemical weapons, but not so big that "it makes the United States a protagonist in a civil war."
Haass, who was a senior adviser to former Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2001 to 2003 under President George W. Bush, said the most likely response is cruise missiles delivered from sea or by air from U.S. bombers flying beyond the range of Syrian anti-aircraft artillery.
"The use of chemical weapons is a violation of international law, consistent with the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Syria is not even a party to," Haass said, adding that the U.S. could rally its own "coalition of the willing" to sanction a retaliatory response without having to deal with Russia and China's inevitable resistance at the United Nations.
Such a scenario – assembling a "coalition of the willing" to punish an Arab dictator for the as-yet unproven use of chemical weapons – gives pause to some Middle Eastern states so soon after the war in Iraq. Arab states' disparate views on a Syria intervention are likely to be on display Tuesday, when the 22-member Arab League is scheduled to meet in Cairo.
Saudi Arabia's Sunni Muslim monarchy, which wields great influence in the organization, has been a major arms supplier to the mostly Sunni Syrian rebels. Saudi Arabia said Monday that it would back a punitive operation against the Syrian regime, which is dominated by an offshoot of the Shiite branch of Islam.
Egypt's military-installed government is wrestling with its own political crisis and is unlikely to back a strike, according to Egyptian state media reports. Lebanon and Iraq also aren't likely to support punitive action against Assad – Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group is fielding thousands of fighters to help Assad's forces, and Iraq's Shiite-led government has allowed Iran to send arms and other support to Damascus through its territory and airspace.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in a newspaper interview that Turkey, which has been a key supporter of the Syrian rebels and is the second largest military in NATO after the United States, would join an international military operation if the U.N. Security Council fails to punish Assad for the alleged chemical weapons attack.
Landis, the Syria expert at the University of Oklahoma, noted that none of the Middle Eastern nations – not to mention saber-rattling allies in Europe – was willing to take the lead on Syria. That's why, he said, any U.S. intervention is likely to be as small in scope as possible while still sending a message to Assad.
"Problem is, everybody wants America to fix their Syria problem, but they don't want to go in first because it's a swamp," Landis said. "And America wants someone to go in first, and then the U.S. would provide some backing, but so far no one's been foolish enough to fall for that."

I'm loojing for information about Fragment Storm Attacks:
- A malicious Hackers generates a storm of fragmented packet to the victim. As a result the victim will consume most of its CPU to reassemble fragmented packets and may be DoSed . Thjis attack should work even with a low number of fragmented packets (no needs of DDOS).
To protect my network I'd like to filter packets comming through my CISCO router by droping any fragmented packet. (This router is not directly connected on the internet & the network is designed to avoid any fragmented leagcy streams).
If you have any idea to achieve this goal or any archive from the litterature I'll be thankfull,

'Gatekeepers' hinges on questions of morality, security
The six surviving former heads of Shin Bet, the Israeli security agency whose activities and membership are closely held state secrets, discuss their time fighting terrorism and protecting Israel.
The Oscar-nominated documentary examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of Shin Bet leaders.
The Oscar nominated The Gatekeepers is the rare film that does not mince words
A compelling documentary (*** 1/2 out of four; rated PG-13; expanding Friday to select cities), it offers startlingly honest insight into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from some of those who called the shots.
Director Dror Moreh interviews a half-dozen heads of Shin Bet, Israel's ultra-secret intelligence agency charged with defending Israel against terrorism, espionage and the release of state secrets. Though we have no American equivalent, the Shin Bet is akin to a blend of the CIA, Homeland Security and the Secret Service.
These six men have never been interviewed about their work—so this is a coup for Moreh. Each speaks candidly about overseeing Israel's war on terror, acknowledging mistakes.
They dissect key decisions and reflect on the overall effectiveness and morality of their actions. These men have ordered bombings and staged assassinations. While none has become a peacenik, each exhibits a sense of guilt. The result is riveting.
The striking take-away is that each came to reconsider their hard-line stances. Most are now in favor of a more conciliatory position toward the Palestinians, even pondering a two-state solution.
The first lesson offered is the complicated nature of tracking and taking down terrorists.
"Politicians prefer binary options: do it or don't do it," says Yuval Diskin, head of Shin Bet from 2005-2011. "As a commander I find myself in situations that are different shades of gray."
If they decide to strike, civilians could be killed. But if they don't, they leave their country vulnerable to peril. The godlike power to kill is not taken lightly.
"At night, later in the day, while shaving or on vacation, we all have our moments, " Diskin continues. "You said OK, I made a decision and X number of people were killed. They were definitely about to launch a big attack. No one near them was hurt. Yet you still say 'there's something unnatural about it.' What's unnatural is the power you have to take lives in an instant."
Not only is the information conveyed fascinating, but the film is seamlessly made. Moreh juxtaposes 60 Minutes-style interviews with war footage and re-created events. The transitions between intellectual discussion and brutal carnage are fluid and artful. While he presents key events in a chronology, it feels more organically illuminating than a history lesson.
Avraham Shalom, an avuncular-looking man in checked shirt and suspenders, remarks about tackling anti-terrorism as the Shin Bet head in the mid-1980s "without exactly knowing what it was, because terrorism hadn't developed."
"I loved the idea (of a Palestinian state) so I went to the territories with people who dealt with the Palestinians," said Shalom. "We didn't know what we wanted to achieve. We received no direction about our objectives. When you don't get direction for politicians, you're just like a rabbit, searching."
These six men did what they deemed was in Israel's best interest — though they later question the morality of their decisions. It can be unsettling in its chilling honesty and pervasive pessimism. But there are glimmers of hope as these security overlords also explore what Israel can do to achieve lasting peace.
The Gatekeepers is an exemplary, provocative work. It offers a blunt look at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a perspective not previously covered on film, as seen through the eyes of a rare few in the control center.

Amanda Knox's new life starts Tuesday afternoon when her flight touches down in Seattle.
After disembarking from the London-to-Seattle flight, Knox's family will speak briefly to reporters. Then they want some time alone.
Family spokesman David Marriott said Knox doesn't have concrete plans for the future after landing in Seattle.
"They've all been so focused on the appeal," Marriott said Tuesday. "They're going to take some time and see what normal looks like now. It's certainly different than what it was. They'll take a look at the next steps. Obviously, there's been a million requests for interviews."
Knox is likely to be a hot commodity for some time — especially if Donald Trump has any say in future plans. Some news agencies are reporting she started work on a book in prison and already has hundreds of pages written.
"She'll write, because that's her way of dealing with things," stepfather Chris Mellas told the Guardian.
But he said she hasn't started the project yet. Already, some are speculating about how much a book deal could net for Knox.
Also looming in the future for Knox: Prosecutors say they'll appeal Monday's acquittal.
"Let's wait and we will see who was right," Prosecutor Giuliano Mignini told the Associated Press. "The first court or the appeal court."
He added: "This trial was done under unacceptable media pressure. The decision was almost already announced; this is not normal."
Experts say an appeal could be difficult, since the court's finding that DNA evidence was compromised.
Knox supporter Tom Wright told CBS a celebration is forthcoming in Seattle, but it will be "at a time and place of (Knox's) choosing."
He added these words of support: "Way to go, kid."

Prince | 2007
Super Bowl XLI - 2007 / The Team: Prince (sans the Revolution) / The Playbook: Peyton Manning and the Indianapoilis Colts downed a popular and sturdy Chicago Bears team, but the purple one never seems to disappoint. The Artist Formerly Known as Prince was back, complete with a stage shaped like his symbol/name/logo in a purple hue. He went through a medley of songs despite heavy rain drenching the Miami stage. All those high heels and water didn't seem like a good mix, but the show went off without incedent. The Florida A&M University band, renowned for it's performances, also took the field for a few minutes. / The Result: Touchdown. Prince's return seemed to stir the crowd, and those watching at home sang along, marvelling at great guitar riffs in wet weather.

You're 60% More Likely To Die Early If You Work Here
Working in an office is hardly the most thrilling of jobs, so you'll be surprised to learn that if you spend your working days sitting at a desk you're 60 per cent more likely to die early.
No seriously, a massive study from Cambridge University has found that one in six premature deaths caused by heart disease, stokes, cancer or type 2 diabetes, was directly linked with sitting at a desk all day.
It all boils down to movement.
While we're sitting at our desks we're not MOVING.
And we all know, we need an hour of movement a day to help ensure a long and healthy life.
Before you write this study off as another piece of academic sensationalist bulls**t, over one MILLION adults were surveyed, so it's pretty legit.
Think of that the next time you spend your lunch break surfing Facebook at your desk!

I'm actually a fan of having a monarch, which is rather unpopular these days. I even met Your Highness once when you visited Fredericton, but I actually too little to know enough to be impressed.
First, congradulations on celebrating the marriage of your grandson. I know that things will go well next week, and we look forward his visit to Ottawa this summer.
I am sure that you have given a lot of thought to succession. I wondered if you had considered that Prince William would very nice King. A very nice Young King, one who could rally the youth of today, and bring a unity that politicians yearn for, but have seldom delivered.
Does Prince Charles actually want to be King? Perhaps after a brief Honeymoon, you and Prince Charles might consider abdicating in favour of Prince William.
I suggest sometime in 2012, maybe Feb. 29 would auspicious, or maybe April 21, 2012. I don't know: I am sure you will come up with something sensible.

London galleries and museums are more often than not an overwhelming experience - an endless parade of disoriented visitors blocking your view and usually accompanied by a busy soundtrack of camera clicks. But there's a different and far more interesting art and design game being played in a handful of addresses, mostly a stone's throw from the main thoroughfare. With a little effort, you can ...

TourMan needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 24 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
Design of icons that will be used inside our mobile travel application
We are developing travel mapping application. Please see a screen shot and refer to it for what we need below: http://www.tourspot.mobi/assets/images/tour.png
We need icons for the following elements:
1. The blue triangle- that should be an icon that represents a point of interest. Inside the icon would be a number (so imagine a number 1 inside the triangle). We're looking for ideas on what that icon should be. Whatever the icon we choose we need numbers 1-30 inside the icon (so 30 icons) .
2. Icon to represent "information"
3. Icon to represent "pictures"
4. "+ and -" with zoom indicator (see the upper left corner as an example).
5. Icon to represent a person to indicate location
6. (optional) - 45x45 pictures to represent:
A. New York City
B. Washington DC
C. San Francisco
E. Boston
F. Philadelphia
G. United States
H. Europe
I. Asia
All icons (with the exception of #6, the pictures) should have the same "theme".
Should be consumer-friendly (non-technical audience) and easily recognizable.
Icons should be clever but easily recognizable. For example, for #1, we don't want a #1 in asquare box. We're looking for something creative to represent points ofinterest but not something that is unrelated (i.e, an apple with a number 1 in it would not represent a point of interest in a city).

Japanese Snack Review: Takoyaki-ya San, or Gobs of Goo
When faced with cute Japanese candy, my brain tends to switch to "automatic Japanese candy response mode" by taking whatever candy is in front of me and placing it into my shopping basket. I have no choice but to buy what goes into my basket. No choice. Even if it's something as ridiculous as Takoyaki-ya San, a gummy candy meant to resemble octopus-filled dough balls. I saw it while shopping at Mitsuwa in Edgewater, New Jersey, where I only had to look at the package for two seconds before deciding, "This probably isn't worth my money, but I'm going to buy it anyway."
I wasn't enticed by the takoyaki resemblance though—the best part was that you had to make the candy yourself out of various powders and gummy bits that required stirring and shaping into their final forms. Would the final product look anything like takoyaki? Would it even be edible? The questionable results, after the jump.
The directions on the back were easy enough to figure out, even without knowing how to read Japanese. Inside the package was a plastic tray—a mixing section and a ball-forming section—a mixing spoon, and packets of gelatin powder, octopus-shaped fruit flavored gummy bits, caramel sauce, and sugary green topping bits.
The directions didn't say how much water to mix with the powder base, so I just filled it almost to the top of the mixing tub. After vigorous mixing, I ended up with a gloopy light orange/yellow mass with a mucoidal texture. The trajectory of this experiment was not looking good. On retrospect, I probably used too much water but I think you're better off using too much than too little; it'll solidify too quickly without enough water.
Using the comically tiny spoon, I plopped little bits of the yellow goo into each of the six takoyaki compartments. The gel was more viscous than I was expecting, but that's probably because my photo taking caused it to sit longer than it was supposed to.
Next, I shoved the octopus gummy bits into each compartment. Some bits were shaped like chopped octopus (realistic!) while others looked like whole, tiny octopi (less realistic!). Do you see the fear in those octopi's eyes? Do you?
DO YOU? It looks like it's staring at its neighborly nubbin while shouting, "OH MY GOD, FRED, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I'LL SAVE YOU!" (No, he won't.)
I extinguished its cries by plopping on more shiny, orange goo. I stared at my gloppy, uneaven balls with sadness.
I flipped the balls with the tiny spoon in hopes of seeing an improvement. The uglier part was now on the bottom. Yay! Unfortunately, it still looked unappetizing and reminiscent of phlegm.
Topped with the thin "caramel" sauce (to mimic takoyaki sauce) and sugary light green bits (to mimic seaweed), the balls looked worse than before, a feat I didn't even know was possible.
While I had been tending to the unappetizing yellow bloblets, the mother blob had firmed up to look like a giant chunk of fat. Don't let your mixture sit for too long or you'll end up with this monstrosity.
The final product was, surprisingly, kind of ball shaped. Letting it sit in the mold forced it to become spherical, akin to breeding weirdly shaped watermelons. While the packaging suggested that I could spear it with the tiny spoon—like eating real takoyaki with skewers—there was no way I could poke through the semi-solid gummy center with the spoon, and the rest of the ball was too soft to stay on the spoon. I hesitantly picked up a slippery piece and shoved it in my mouth.
Flavor: lacking. Texture: slippery, soft, then chewy. Deliciousness: nonexistent. The best part was the gummy center; the yellow goo had very little flavor, apparently just acting as a suspension medium. The sauce and green bits were more for decoration than anything else.
Should I be surprised that the final product barely resembled the drawing (because if it were a real photo, no one would buy it) on the package, and that deliciousness was a low priority for Meiji, the candy makers? Nope. It was all about the process. A process that I will never voluntarily participate in again.
...But I will probably buy a different candy because my "automatic Japanese candy response mode" is uncontrollable.

Toronto/West End
The West End of Toronto is bounded roughly by Ossington Avenue to the east, St. Clair Avenue to the north, the Humber River to the west, and Lake Ontario to the south. The West End covers a vast swath of Toronto and includes ethnic enclaves and quiet, residential neighbourhoods inhabited largely by recent immigrants to Canada. In recent years, the West End has undergone explosive growth and gentrification, and is quickly becoming one of the hottest areas in the city in which to live.
The neighbourhoods of the West End are some of the most diverse in the city, owing largely to its significant immigrant population. Travelling west along the 506 College streetcar from the downtown core takes you through some of the city's most colourful and unique neighbourhoods. From the early 1900s, Italian immigrants who worked in railroad and road construction began buying up affordable Edwardian-style homes and opening up shops along College Street, in the area now known as Little Italy. Recently, the neighbourhood has become popular with young professionals because of its great restaurants and cafes, vibrant nightlife, and proximity to the downtown core. More recent Italian immigrants have chosen to settle a little farther north, along St. Clair Avenue, in an area known as Corso Italia. Further west along College from Little Italy is Little Portugal, which is the best place to find an authentic churrascaria in the city. Keep going west and, before long, you'll come across Roncesvalles Village, named after a valley in northern Spain, which, oddly enough, is the heart of the city's Polish community. After you've tired yourself out from all the culinary delights you've tasted along the way, you can take the streetcar to the end of the line — High Park — Toronto's very own Central Park.
The trip along the 501 Queen streetcar from the downtown core is a little different. It's almost a lesson in gentrification and urban renewal, as it travels through some of the city's formerly derelict neighbourhoods that have, in recent years, become its most trendy locales. Extending westward is the ultra-hip West Queen West neighbourhood, a derelict industrial area that has recently been revitalized and turned into lofts, home to many of Toronto's young artists and musicians. The area is home to many of the city's hottest bars, lounges and cafes, including the ever-popular Drake and Gladstone Hotels. As renters are being priced out, West Queen West is quickly merging into neighbouring Parkdale, a notoriously crime-ridden part of town that is becoming the new "it" neighbourhood, with its antique shops and quaint Victorian-style homes.
On the north end of High Park you'll find The Junction, so named because of the railroad lines that meet in this neighbourhood. To the west of the Junction lies Bloor West Village, a residential area that's popular with young professionals and new families. Quaint shops, lovely grocery stores with fruits and flowers piled high outside and a wide variety of restaurants line Bloor Street from Jane to Runnymede, while older houses, many in the American Craftsman style, line the area's side streets.
Get in[edit]
By subway[edit]
The West End is served by the Bloor-Danforth subway line. Dundas West station is a major transit hub for the area, providing connections to streetcar lines, buses, and GO Transit commuter trains at the Bloor GO station.
By streetcar[edit]
Streetcars run across much of the West End, making it easy to get around.
The 501 Queen route runs along Queen Street from the downtown core out to the Mississauga border in the west. This route runs through the West Queen West and Parkdale neighbourhoods.
The 504 King route runs along King Street, through Parkdale's southern edge, and north through Roncesvalles Village to the Dundas West subway station.
The 505 Dundas route serves Little Portugal and connects to the Dundas West subway station.
The 506 College route runs along College Street and passes through Little Italy on its way to High Park.
By train[edit]
Some GO Transit trains stop at the Bloor GO station, adjacent to the Dundas West subway station.

Unpacking Forgiveness
- Chris Braun Author
- 2008 4 Dec
Introduction: The Forgiveness Quiz
Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. – Psalm 119:18
The Forgiveness Quiz
Let's start with a quiz. I know the idea of a pop quiz may trigger unpleasant memories. But quizzes can serve noble purposes. I hope to accomplish two things with this one. First, it is a discussion starter. You probably will not agree with all my answers. That is okay. General Patton said, "If everybody is thinking alike, somebody isn't thinking." Let this pop quiz start some thinking.
The second purpose of this quiz is to anticipate where this book is headed. Think of this forgiveness quiz as an aerial preview. If you are like me and you skip around when you read a nonfiction book, this quiz will help you skip directly to the section of the book that interests you.
See how you do. You should be able to complete this in the time it takes to hum the theme from Jeopardy! You are on the honor system. No looking ahead. For the sake of those around you, hum the Jeopardy! theme softly.
The Forgiveness Quiz—Questions
1. True or False
Where deep wounds between people are concerned, forgiveness can be unpacked in a moment.
2. True or False
Personal happiness and joy can legitimately motivate people to live out what the Bible teaches about forgiveness.
3. True or False
Most Christian pastors and counselors agree about what forgiveness is and how it should take place.
4. True or False
Forgiveness occurs properly only when certain conditions are met.
5. True or False
Jesus said little about how people should resolve interpersonal conflict.
6. True or False
A willingness to forgive is a test of whether or not a person will go to heaven when he or she dies.
7. True or False
Good people get to the bottom of all their disagreements.
8. True or False
There are times when it is wrong to forgive.
Where I Come from as an Author
Before we grade your answers to the Forgiveness Quiz, let me share two things about where I come from in writing this book. First, I write as a pastor involved in people's lives. I cannot tell you how many hours I have spent working through complex forgiveness questions with people in my churches. On the day I am writing this, I have listened to two different women with broken hearts. I sat across the table and hurt with them and prayed and watched small piles of mascara-and tear-soaked tissues build.
Looking back across the years I can recall images of so many tired, wounded people. I think, for instance, of my friend Deb (not her real name). When I first met Deb, she was grieving the loss of her only son who had died at the age of seven after a long illness. She was devastated.
In the midst of losing her son, Deb discovered that her husband was involved with pornography. His addiction eventually destroyed their marriage, and they were divorced. Soon after, Deb's former husband was tragically killed in an accident.
Can you imagine? Her son died. Her marriage fell apart. Her former husband died. Consider the emotionally charged, complex forgiveness questions that Deb faced.
- Should Deb have forgiven her husband even though he was not repentant?
- How could she know whether he really was repentant?
- If Deb was able to forgive her husband, would that mean she should not have divorced him?
- How about after her husband died? Would it be appropriate or easier then for Deb to forgive him?
- What about her anger and grief over losing her son? No doubt, at points Deb even struggled with anger towards toward God. How should she have handled her anger? Should Deb have forgiven God?
I believe the answer to the last question, "Should Deb have forgiven God?" is an emphatic no! That God should be forgiven implies that God may have done something wrong. Many disagree and would not hold to my negative view of the idea of forgiving God. Arguably, the most influential Christian book written on forgiveness in the last fifty years contends that it is acceptable and even healthy for people to "forgive God."1 I will have more to say about this in Chapter 5.
You might ask me, how do you have the confidence to disagree with a book written by a well-known Christian authority? Or, how can a pastor help people when, in cases like Deb's, the wounds are so deep and the questions are so complex? Where is there hope for people who get sick to their stomach when they even begin to think about the abuse they have suffered?
This brings me to the second thing I want to say about my approach to writing this book. And this is the heart of what I have to say: I write with the firm conviction that only God's Word can unpack forgiveness. When I talk with people like Deb, what gives me confidence is to know that God is there, and he is not silent. He has spoken clearly and sufficiently through his Word. God has given us all that we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness (2 Peter 1:3). And his Word is where we find our knowledge of him. God's Word can and does unpack forgiveness. It makes wise the simple, giving joy to the heart and light to the eyes. It is more precious than any treasure and sweeter than honey (Psalm 19:7–11).
But Scripture must be understood and applied accurately. I have been careful not to pluck verses out of context or force them into the mold of my position. I do not want to read my own meaning into the text. Rather, my goal has been to listen to the Word.
In emphasizing the authority of God's Word, I do not mean to imply that I have not learned from others about forgiveness. Quite the opposite has occurred, in fact. A number of books on forgiveness have sharpened my thinking significantly. I also consult multiple commentaries when I study any given Bible passage. My interaction with these other sources will be evident to the reader. The Bible, however, must always have the final say.
In summary, this is a book written by a pastor who is actively involved in people's lives. And the goal is to shine the light of God's Word on forgiveness. Only God working in and through his Word can help us unpack forgiveness. The wounds are otherwise too deep, the problems too complex. But God working in and through his Word can answer any question and heal any hurt.

Your score?
If you posted a perfect score, don't celebrate just yet. Be humble. It was true/false after all. You may have just guessed. Keep reading.
At the other end of the grading scale, if you missed several, you could interpret your score in a couple of ways. The truly humble and teachable may say, "Wow, I really need to learn more about forgiveness. I am going to keep reading." On the other hand, if you are more like me, you will want to debate. So, let me start making my case. These are preliminary explanations for the debaters; and essentially the rest of the book will flesh out these brief thoughts.
Statement #1: Where deep wounds are concerned, forgiveness can be unpacked in a moment. FALSE.
Here is how I define "unpacking forgiveness."
unpacking forgiveness: (1) To understand biblical truth about forgiveness and the application of that truth to complex problems in life. (2) To unload the burdens we carry because of wounds that we have received from others, and have given to others.
So there are two goals of unpacking forgiveness. The first is to understand biblical teaching. The second is to implement that understanding and to be freed from the burdens that weigh us down.
Neither of these goals is accomplished in a moment. Unpacking forgiveness is like relocating a family. While you may move on a particular day, unpacking takes a lot longer. It's a process. Boxes remain packed for months, years even. My family moved almost two years ago, and we are still unpacking.
But don't be discouraged by that. While it is true that unpacking forgiveness is a process, with God's help it is one that you can work through. The key is to get started. If you have been deeply wounded in life, then you cannot afford to leave the boxes stacked somewhere in the basement. With God's help you need to understand what his Word teaches and how you can find rest and healing by his grace.
Statement #2: Personal happiness and joy can legitimately motivate people to live out what the Bible teaches about forgiveness. TRUE.
Too many people dread learning about forgiveness. They fear they will learn what they ought to do and that what they ought to do will make them miserable. Such a fearful approach is destined to fizzle. We cannot approach a biblical study of forgiveness like we are on our way to get a root canal. If that is where you are at, if you are struggling with a lack of motivation to understand and live what God's Word teaches about forgiveness, then my prayer is that Chapters 1–2 will be a great encouragement to you.
Statement #3: Most Christian pastors and counselors agree about what forgiveness is and how it should take place. FALSE.
In reality, pastors and counselors disagree profoundly about forgiveness. This is just a fact. Go to a website that sells books, type the words "forgiveness" and "Christian" in the search box, and hit enter. You will get hundreds of titles. If you had the inclination to order ten to fifteen of these books, you would find that views range from East to West, and not only among secular or Christian authors. Even among Christian authors, opinions about forgiveness range from Maine to California.
You might respond, "I have no interest in surveying everyone's opinion and listening to a technical argument about forgiveness." I understand. Most of the people I pastor are trying to get their grass cut and their children to baseball practice on time. But you must and actually do believe something about forgiveness. And whether you think about it or not, every day you implement those beliefs about forgiveness.
Your convictions about forgiveness will shape how you respond when your spouse complains about how you seasoned the chicken. Your views about forgiveness may determine how you handle a teenager who rolls her eyes, or how you relate to an abusive parent, or whether or not you go ahead and marry your fiancé, or if you should counsel your friend to leave her husband. You do not have to read every book on forgiveness, but you may have to decide whether or not to change churches because of what the pastor or one of the elders did. The forgiveness choices you make will shape much of your life. For that reason, you must consciously work out what you believe about forgiveness and then intentionally put those beliefs into action.
Of course, that begs the question, how can anyone decide who is right when there are so many conflicting opinions? The answer is that you must consistently evaluate everything against the gold standard of Scripture. Be like the Bereans Luke wrote about in Acts 17:11:
Now [the Bereans] were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
Luke tells us that the Bereans were "more noble" because they were "examining the Scriptures" for themselves. The word translated "examining" was often used in legal settings in the first century. The Bereans judiciously studied the Bible for themselves to see if what Paul said was true.
Be like the Bereans. Resolve that you are going to work out an understanding of forgiveness based on the Word of God. You don't need my opinion or anyone else's. You need to hear from God. When you work through your personal beliefs about forgiveness, be thoroughly biblical. Know where the relevant references are in the Bible. When you pick up any book on forgiveness and read it, ask yourself, does this book plainly set forth the teaching of Scripture? How much is it really interacting with the Bible?
This is for sure: if a book on forgiveness is going to be worth your while, it should be dripping with Scripture.
Statement #4: Forgiveness occurs properly only when certain conditions are met. TRUE.
If you answered "false," you are not alone. Whenever I give this quiz, a number of people give that answer. One author dedicated his book on forgiveness with this phrase: "To God who forgives all."2 This is an unconditional statement. It says categorically that God forgives all. No exceptions.
Is that how it works? Does God forgive everyone?
Every time I think about that book dedication, I am puzzled. For a while I kept thinking I was missing something. I asked a lot of people, "Is that true? Does God forgive all?"
The answer to that question is decidedly no. Of course, it may feel warm and fuzzy to say that God forgives all, but the reality is that he does not. The Bible is full of true stories about people who were not forgiven.
Here is one such grim story that you know. Before I even remind you of it, let me assure you, I am not making light of this. It is a story of awful judgment.
Picture it. Goliath went out every day and talked trash about God. Nine feet tall, cursing, spitting, taunting, he defied God. But soon enough David pulled off the quintessential upset of all time and took Goliath down with one smooth stone.
At the risk of grossing you out, did you ever meditate on what Scripture says David was lugging around when he debriefed with King Saul after the fight? First Samuel 17:57 reads:
And as soon as David returned from the striking down of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.
David had Goliath's head because he had severed it with the giant's own sword. And now, rather than dropping the violence from the story, Scripture describes how David dragged Goliath's dripping, discolored, already smelly head around.
After David knocked Goliath down, he did not offer Goliath an ice pack and lean over and whisper, "Goliath, you have really gotten a lot of people upset on the other side of the valley, but we love and forgive you." No, he hacked off his head and dragged it from the battlefield.
Is that not truly awful? Here is the thing. The story of David and Goliath is not in the Bible so we have an inspiring story for undersized children or so we have something to tell our football teams before they play a highly ranked opponent. Nor is it a model of how we resolve interpersonal differences. God included it in the Bible to show us the reality of his judgment and that he does not forgive all.
The reality of God's justice is not limited to the Old Testament. Revelation, the last book in the Bible, graphically describes what will happen to those who are not forgiven. In the Gospels, Jesus prophesied weeping and gnashing of teeth for the unforgiven. And John wrote about forgiveness with a condition:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9)
Make no mistake—God does not forgive all. God's forgiveness is conditional. In Chapters 3–4 I will explain this and why it is eternally important that we each understand what we believe about whether or not forgiveness is conditional.
And forgiveness is not only conditional for God. It should be conditional in our relationships, too. For sure, we must have an attitude of grace or a willingness to forgive all people. We are commanded to love our enemies and to pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:43–48). But complete forgiveness can only take place when there is repentance. I will develop this point in Chapters 3–4.
Statement #5: Jesus said little about how people should resolve interpersonal conflict. FALSE.
Jesus said a great deal about conflict resolution and forgiveness. One whole chapter of the Gospels (Matthew 18) is about Jesus teaching the disciples when they were having a conflict. Chapters 6–10 of this book will be devoted to a study of that chapter. Be encouraged. Jesus had a lot to say about how we work through broken relationships.
Statement #6: A willingness to forgive is a test of whether or not a person will go to heaven when he or she dies. TRUE.
A willingness to forgive is closely connected to how we can be sure that we are going to heaven. Jesus was very clear about this. In the Sermon on the Mount, he said:
"For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." (Matthew 6:14–15)
I will devote all of Chapter 10 to considering the relationship between a willingness to forgive and assurance of salvation. For now, notice two things in these verses. First, Jesus is talking about forgiveness. The word forgive appears four times in two verses. Second, Jesus is putting on the table the threat of eternal judgment or hell. If you have any questions about whether or not God has forgiven you, be sure to read Chapter 3 carefully.
Statement #7: Good people get to the bottom of all their disagreements. FALSE.
If you have been around families or the local church for any length of time, you probably got this one right. There are times when good people simply cannot reach agreement about what went wrong, why someone was offended, who was right and who was wrong.
What are Christians to do when they cannot agree or find closure? Chapter 15 addresses what Christians should do when they come to an impasse.
Statement #8: There are times when it is wrong to forgive. TRUE.
Some argue that it is never wrong to forgive. But this cannot be the case. As I will explain in Chapter 3, God does not forgive the unrepentant. It would be wrong for him to do so because it would go against his own justice and holiness.
Others counter that while there may be times when God does not forgive, people must always forgive. They insist that whenever a wrong is committed, regardless of whether or not the offender is repentant, Christians should automatically forgive the offender. But this teaching is too simplistic. It encourages forgiveness so broadly that it diminishes the justice of God and compromises the integrity of true forgiveness. This is what Dennis Prager pointed out in a Wall Street Journal article:
The bodies of the three teen-age girls shot dead last December by a fellow student at Heath High School in West Paducah, Ky., were not yet cold before some of their schoolmates hung a sign announcing, "We forgive you, Mike!" They were referring to Michael Carneal, 14, the killer.
This immediate and automatic forgiveness is not surprising. Over the past generation, many Christians have adopted the idea that they should forgive everyone who commits evil against anyone, no matter how great and cruel and whether or not the evildoer repents.
The number of examples is almost as large as the number of heinous crimes. Last August, for instance, the preacher at a Martha's Vineyard church service attended by the vacationing President Clinton announced that the duty of all Christians was to forgive Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber who murdered 168 Americans. "Can each of you look at a picture of Timothy McVeigh and forgive him?" the Rev. John Miller asked. "I have, and I invite you to do the same."
Though I am a Jew, I believe that a vibrant Christianity is essential if America's moral decline is to be reversed. And despite theological differences, Christianity and Judaism have served as the bedrock of American civilization. And I am appalled and frightened by this feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness.3 This book will interact with Prager's legitimate concern. It will present the beauty of God's grace and the necessity of forgiveness. But it will also teach the reader that forgiveness must take place in a way that is consistent with justice. We must move beyond a "feel-good doctrine of automatic forgiveness." Christians must always have a willingness to forgive or an attitude of forgiveness. But this does not mean that forgiveness always takes place.
Chapters 11–12 will focus entirely on this area. If you have been deeply hurt, and the other person is not sorry about it, read these chapters. If you wonder how Christians should respond to the Holocaust, 9/11, Columbine, Oklahoma City, Virginia Tech, or Rwanda, then read chapters 11–12.

Although we live in different states now, I recently called up my friend Deb, the lady who went through the loss of a son and a divorce. I wanted her permission to share her story, and I wanted to hear how she is doing. Her story is such a blessing. Deb remarried, and she and her husband have two children. They have a happy, Christ-centered home. I don't mean that Deb does not have any scars. But she is through the worst of it. I wish I could communicate how much joy it gives my heart to hear how God has blessed Deb.
Even as I share Deb's joy, I am sure of this: there is no way Deb could have gotten through the trials she faced on her own. Only God and his Word can unpack forgiveness. The questions were too complex for her to untangle on her own. The wounds were too deep.
I am praying for more stories like Deb's. I pray that the Triune God will be pleased to use this book to help many others unpack forgiveness, not because I have some super-keen insight but because God is pleased to work in and through the clear teaching of his Word. I understand that people will read this book who have been hurt deeply, those whose problems are terribly complicated. But be confident. There is no wound too deep for God to heal; there is no question too complex for him to answer.

2. Randall O'Brien, Set Free by Forgiveness: The Way to Peace and Healing (Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 2005). Reading the rest of this book, I assume the author's intent was to communicate that God is willing to forgive all. But the way this statement was made is potentially misleading.

In February of 2005, a Miami man sued Bank of America for not adequately protecting him against a $90,000 fraudulent wire transfer to the Parex Bank in Latvia. Joe Lopez was the first online user to sue his financial institution for not protecting his assets from a computer hacker.
Lopez, owner of a computer and copier supply business, accused Bank of America of negligence and breach of contract for not alerting him in advance to the existence of a piece of malware known as "Coreflood" prior to April 6, 2004, when the alleged theft took place.
Shortly after the wire transfer occurred, a sum of $20,000 was withdrawn from Parex by unknown individuals, according to the complaint filed in court. The remaining $70,000 was, however, frozen by Latvian banking authorities. Bank of America has since settled this case; neither side has revealed the terms.
"I had probably heard the news about Joe Lopez, but (until recently), I hadn't thought twice about the whole Coreflood episode of a few years ago," admitted Joe Stewart, director of Malware Research at SecureWorks, when I spoke to him at last summer's Black Hat conference in Las Vegas.
In particular, Stewart recalled hearing that the U.S. Secret Service had found evidence of Aflood or Coreflood on the Lopez computer.
"The Secret Service actually named Coreflood. That was very surprising. Normally, we don't get the final tally. We don't know who's account got stolen. It's very unusual to actually have a victim that is public, and everybody knows exactly what (was) taken."
Unlike a lot of bots and botnets, most of which exist primarily to relay spam, Stewart said Coreflood has a different agenda: "Its goal is to steal the data directly from users." The much more popular Storm botnet, he said, is more of a nuisance. "Coreflood has a real financial impact for people like Joe Lopez."
Who's behind Coreflood? Stewart declines to say, but in an interview in The New York Times, he suggested that the gang responsible was based somewhere in Russia. He would not tell me the name of the group because of ongoing criminal investigations.
In this video, Stewart talks about what first drew him to study the Coreflood botnet.
When Stewart heard about Lopez, he renewed his research on the Coreflood. With the help of Spamhaus, an antispam organization, Stewart and SecureWorks were able to gain cooperation from a Wisconsin-based provider of one of the command and control centers for the botnet. What he found was not only the bot's source code but also 50 gigabytes of compressed data, searchable in a MySQL database.
Within that database were 378,758 unique bot IDs over a 16-month period. There, for everyone to see, was the time-stamped life cycle--from infection to removal--of each compromised computer. Stewart found the average to be about 66 days.
Apparently, Coreflood would enter a network via a drive-by browser exploit, download a copy of the installer, then run PcExec, a legitimate Windows administration tool available from Microsoft.
"It could happen to anybody," Stewart said, "any user who happened to go to the wrong site." If the user also happened to be on the corporate network when that happens, the bot is then able to take advantage of that structure and is able to be a threat to everyone on that network.
"So it's not so much a targeted attack," Stewart said. "But I think they have intentionally set a trap for the domain administrator and are leveraging that in order to have access to the entire company."
Later, the criminal gang responsible for the attack can find out which company it has infected by looking into the registry of the infected computer. "They pull out of the registry a separate request to say who is the registered owner the Windows license. They ship that information back up to the botnet controller."
Just looking at that one C&C server in Wisconsin, Stewart estimates that the gang responsible has infected more than 35,000 domains. It may sell those Web mail accounts to a spammer, because spammers love Web mail accounts. But over the years, Coreflood seems to have targeted only banks. Stewart knows this from the forensic evidence he's collected.
In this video, Stewart talks about digital forensics and what it can tell us about botnets such as Coreflood.
Within the 50GB file, Stewart was able to discern how the thieves culled the data. He said they run a test script against that data that will log via a proxy into the bank using the credentials captured, say, by a keylogging application. The Coreflood script will then capture the HTML data on the post-log-in page.
In most cases, that page also contains the account's bank balance. This is so that after running the test, the hackers have a picture of what the highest dollar amounts are, he said.
"I don't know whether they steal from all of them. We don't have access to the accounts; the bank is not going to tell us how much was stolen out of any given account," he said. "We're not going to get that information, but we know they're actively logging and checking accounts to collect the balance data. The only reason (the script) can see that data is to target the biggest accounts first."
Coreflood does not take a screenshot, Stewart said, but rather scrapes the text out of the HTML. "When they run these tools, it leaves a log file behind, and all the post log-in (data)...are saved in that directory. So we have all of the account balances. So we can parse out what everyone's balance is and see actually how much (the thieves) had access to at any one institution."
In this video, Stewart talks about why Coreflood has been around since 2001, yet hardly anyone has been talking about it.
The problem is that Coreflood has been around since 2001.
"It's unique in that's been around for so long," Stewart said. Moreover, it's unusual that it seems to have been maintained by the same group, "not something that's been sold to another group," as is the case with some botnets.
The way it's managed to evade detection, Stewart said, is that it hasn't really crept high on anyone's list of botnets. "It's not on anyone's radar." Yet it's managed to seriously impact some enterprises that use Windows domains. In companies that have been hit, every employee is potentially sending everything they do back to these guys in Russia.
"To me, (Coreflood) is far more insidious because it doesn't get the attention," said Stewart. Unlike Storm, Coreflood is not constantly in your face. "You're not seeing new social-engineering campaigns every week, not seeing a new news article about it every week talking about all the great innovations the peer-to-peer thing has now. It's been quiet, and just does a few things, and tries not to garner any attention."
So the story of Lopez is significant. It's a tangible event about how online criminals are actually affecting people. It illustrates how much money got taken from an actual bank account, and the real impact on the victim's life. Unfortunately, there are many more botnets--and many more victims to talk about.

WATCH: Coverage of the Walk Like MADD 5K on WUSA9 TV
You can see from my shirt below that I walked in the Loudon County Walk Like Madd event for a young boy I sadly never had a chance to meet. First off I want to say hats off to the walkers for raising $7,000 for drunk driving awareness and education in our area.
Now to why events particularly like this touch me. I met Sullivan's family in 2005 under grim circumstances when I was a reporter in SC. 5 year old Sullivan Spradley of Kershaw County had returned from church with his family on Father's Day. He was on a bike ride with his dad in broad daylight when the horrible happened. A drunk driver, a man I later learned was a repeat DUI offender hit Sullivan. Sullivan died an hour after the accident.
It was one of those stories you didn't want to cover. But as important as doing stories to honor the brave little boy's memory were the series of stories that followed that shed light on loopholes in SC law that allowed repeat offenders, people like the man who killed Sullivan back on the road.
Through this time I became friends with the family. Visiting his kind parents Tim and Tonya at their home. I also covered their days in court… reporting on the conviction of Donald Brown a man I watched receive his sentence for 13 years in jail.
Angie Reports: Man Sentenced to 13 Years for hit and run that killed 5 year-old
It's been 5 years and I still get Christmas cards from the Spradley's. As a journalist there are stories and people you will never forget. The Spradley's are one of those stories. I don't live there anymore, but I feel I can reach out from anywhere on this serious issue… even if it's just by doing 12.5 laps around a high school track.
To the Spradley's and all families who have lost loved ones to this senseless crime. It's okay to stay mad. From getting more education in our schools to getting ignition interlock systems passed in more states the fight is far from over. Keep walking, keep talking and stay hopeful for that day that drunk driving doesn't take anymore innocent lives.

Mindy Audlin needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 63 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
I'm looking for a t-shirt design that can promote my website at http://www.whatifup.com as we participate in a huge peace initiative with the Peace Project Foundation of Dallas. I want a design that can stand on its own, or can be easily modified to include sponsor logos on the back.
This is a t-shirt that will distributed as a part of the Dallas Peace Project initiative. Each shirt will be rolled up with personal items (toiletries, etc.) and distributed to the homeless.
It is also something that I foresee making available for purchase independent of this project.
- For the front, I'm thinking of having an image that relates to "PEACE" with the text, "You may say I'm a dreamer..."On the back, I'm envisioning the quote, "...but I'm not the only one." - John Lennon
Then having either my What If Up Club logo (see http://www.thewhatifupclub.com or access through 99 designs) and website, or just the website address: http://www.WhatIfUp.com
I'd like the back to also be flexible enough that I could add additional sponor logos for a special edition t-shirt of our Peace Project event.

And then they all expect the central systems support group to get it running for them, and to fix it when it breaks, and to generally maintain it. Suddenly you have dozens of completely different systems scattered far and wide across your site, and you're starting to get complaints that the support group are unobtainable these days - they're never at their desk any more, and don't seem to have any time to build new stuff any more.

Taking a Vacation with Special Needs Children
4 comments:
My husband, 5 year old (with aspergers) and 14 month old twins (one with autism) travel on a variety of holidays any chance we get. We drive, fly and ferry ourselves here and overseas and we have all had the time of our lives. All families have the usual mundane travel problems (delays, motion sickness), its all part and parcel of the adventure.You cant stop living because things dont run smoothly....

We found an all-inclusive resort with a Sesame Street theme (our moderately affected ASD child's obsession) to be perfect. Because the cost of food was included, we could work our way around dietary restrictions and some of his more unusual needs without spending a fortune. We also found that while the kids club wasn't appropriate for him, he enjoyed the presence of the characters and the other kids. We brought someone to help us so we could also have adult time as well. It was great vacation, and in the end fairly cost effective.

This is a great post! My family has mostly done driving vacations, mainly because the expense of putting three kids on an airplane is extreme. We got a car with a DVD player specifically for these long trips (it's the only times we use it) and take frequent breaks en route.
I'm afraid that if I were to take three kids on a cruise that at least one of them would end up overboard. :)

When I was a kid, my family alternated between a driving trip one year, and a resort vacation the next. I much preferred the resort vacations, for exactly the reason you cite: We got to stay put. As an Aspie kid, I really liked the familiarity of being in the same place, and my brother and I got along much better than when we were teasing each other out of sheer boredom in the car. There were always other kids in those places and, while I wasn't a joiner of large groups, I could usually find another kid to pal around with. If I couldn't, there was always the pool and the food. :-)
