The Central Connecticut men's track and field team competed at the Yale Invitational on Saturday in New Haven, CT. The Blue Devils were led by NEC Track Athlete of the Week, Aaron Radden, who placed first in the 60 meter dash with a time of 6.83 - just .01 seconds shy of the CCSU record he set last season.
Central earned a pair of third-place finishes in the meet. Freshman Jamie Tobias turned in a bronze performance in the high jump, clearing 1.94 meters and sophomore Jordan Watkins ran a 8.44 in the 60 meter hurdles for an additional third. Watkins was followed by senior Nick Lindblom who placed fifth just .07 seconds behind. Watkins' time was just .03 seconds shy of the CCSU record (8.41) that Lindblom set in 2012.
Central performed well in the relay events as well, boasting third place in the distance relay with a time of 10:09.56, fifth in the 4x800 meter relay with a time of 7:52.03 and seventh in the 4x400 meter relay, crossing the line in 3:30.62.
Additional individual accomplishments for the Blue Devils included a sixth-place finish from sophomore Andrew Hill in the one mile run (4:23.43) as well as a trio of other top-10 finishes.
Junior Michael Ficorilli placed ninth in the shot put, registering 13.14 meters along with sophomore Jamal Fruster, who also placed ninth in the 400 meter dash (51.07). Freshman John Sudol, in his second collegiate meet, tallied another ninth-place finish for Central in the triple jump (12.36 meters). Sudol also placed 11th in the long jump, registering 6.19 meters.

The Blue Devils will resume 2013 indoor competition at the Albany Great Dane Classic on Friday, January 18 in New York, NY.

For those who wear prescription glasses, using two sets of glasses for indoor/outdoor needs have been a given until now.
I needed, and did not want to admit it, prescription glasses. Needing both indoor clear lenses and outdoor darkened lenses, I really didn't want two pair. So after looking into my options I discovered Transitions. I remembered, in the back of my brain, heard about these types of glasses that shade outdoors only I didn't need them so it wasn't until the need was there that I remembered the name.
What I found is that Transitions Vantage lenses employ a completely new technology that is different than any other current polarized lens on the market. For lens wearer's polarization, which mean split, like two pairs of glasses in one, and in lenses only existed primarily as a fixed film, without the ability to move between the two shades of clear or dark.
While current photo-chromic molecules darken in random patterns creating an even tint across eyeglass lenses, the photo-chromic dyes in Transitions Vantage lenses not only darken but also align to create polarization. This means that Transitions Vantage lenses, depending on the amount of UV exposure, have variable levels of shading. So the darker the lens, the more efficient the lens is in protecting the wearer and the lighter the lens, the less polarization there will be.
After years of research and development, Transitions Optical, the leading provider of photo-chromic lenses to optical manufacturers worldwide, has developed the first and only lenses designed to both darken and polarize once you hit the sun or where UV's are detected. Transitions® Vantage™ lenses are a technological innovation, designed to deliver noticeably crisper, sharper vision, even in the brightest outdoor glare.
Transitions Vantage lenses are designed to be everyday lenses that provide additional benefits which wearers have never been able to experience in a clear lens. They start out virtually clear and non-polarized indoors; outdoors, they both adapt to changing light and also increase polarization as they darken, optimizing the angle at which light reaches the eyes to help control glare and light scatter – so that your outdoor vision is noticeable crisper with enhanced contrast and sharpness, glass and water look more transparent and glare is reduced, even in the brightest sunlight.
The lenses are available in fashionable frames with a variety of Transitions lenses from total usage to Outdoors and in the car, daytime only. All lenses offer fast transition activation from clear indoor to windshield activation. With four different lens options to choose from Transitions lenses are a great option for prescription wearers who use two sets of glasses. Transitions lenses are also available in children's prescriptions also.
About The Transitions Family of Brands
The Transitions family of everyday adaptive eyewear includes Transitions® lenses, Transitions® XTRActive® lenses and Transitions® Vantage™lenses, all of which offer the latest and most advanced adaptive lens technology and set a new standard of advanced performance, providing even more visual quality, visual comfort and eye protection than ever before.
All products in the Transitions line of adaptive eyewear blocks 100 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays – helping to protect the health and wellness of your eyes – so you can see better in the future as well.
I must admit I love my Transitions Vantage lenses, and you will too! They perform exactly as described. The only everyday lenses with variable polarization, Transitions Vantage lenses don't just adapt to changing light, they also polarize as they darken. Great for the outdoors, the polarization adjusts to match the level of outdoor glare, which can vary as the day progresses and conditions change.
For more information, visit www.transitions.com or ask your eye-care professional which Transitions lenses are right for you.

Here's a pretty puzzle for you, in San Luis Obispo there are 2 cemetaries across the street from one another both named San Luis Cemetary, one's fairly old and has a good deal more activity. When I noticed this I called my brother in law-who's spent the last 10 years in SLO and asked if it had been divided just for size or was the road, Bridge St built for convenience*neither is especially crowded*He was clueless.
The larger one<more active>is more noted for dramatic cold spots, Saturday night readings went from 40 to -9 degrees in front of an old Mausoleum. The mystery was in placement of stones. In the cemetaries I'd been in, older interments had their own section and in some cases, there were children's sections, but in this cemetary they had people from the 1850's lying just a few feet from people who died in 1998*non-related*
Can anyone explain how that happens?

Posted 01 December 2003 - 05:00 PM
Probably the way plots were bought...most of my grandfather's side of the family is buried together under a tree but not all. When they first settled in the Pittsburgh area a few plots were bought one set of the family bought one set and a little bit away another set bought more plots...we now are "full up" and all the plots were bought. where my granmother and more immediate family is buried there is a straight line of 5 plots and on either side are "strangers" some much newer than others. On the other set of plots there is one larger marker with people buried around it, some from the 1850's when we first settled here the the latest for the 60's when my grandfather's uncle died. But lets say someone doesn't buy all the land in that area and being clanish as most older families are they don't want to spend eternity around outsiders so they picked plots further away from others so now there are gaps between family plots that no one wanted as they were too small for families. Or else the people who were expected to be buried moved away, got lost at sea, got cremated etc... equalling extra spaces. Enter modern society, many people without families or without local ones they die and the nearest cemetary can fit you in right in that pretty spot between the Smiths and the Jones. Plus, its hard to tell for sure if people are related. My grandmother owned a plot in the family cemetary in WV where she grew up but was buried here, my grandfather told her sisters to use it for a family member who died without a place. As my aunts and uncles all have their plots in this cemetary and only one child of my father's generation lives in the state and two in mine its very likely it will go to a distant relation if it hasn't already.
But that's just my two cents

Lilly Appelbaum Malnik
Born: November 5, 1928
Antwerp, Belgium
Lilly's Jewish parents separated before she was born. Her mother, who had moved to Brussels to operate a small workshop that made raincoats, was unable to raise her three children alone. Lilly, the youngest child, stayed in Antwerp and was raised by her grandparents in an apartment in a Jewish neighborhood near the heart of Antwerp's diamond district.
1933-39: My grandfather was a shoemaker and worked out of our apartment. Customers came to our house to have their feet measured. Because we were poor, I had to go to public school instead of the private Jewish school. When my grandmother died in 1939, I went to Brussels to live with my mother. After school, I helped her to assemble raincoats at the workshop. Germany attacked in the west on May 10, 1940. On Friday, May 17, 1940, the German army entered Brussels.
1940-44: Deported to Auschwitz in 1944, I was lucky to work in a camp kitchen. A transport of starving Hungarian-Jewish women and children arrived--they were to be killed the next day, so weren't fed that night. I decided to sneak potatoes into their barracks. As I passed the food out in the dark, a commotion began. Suddenly, lights blazed. The barracks leader stormed in. "I could denounce you! You could be shot!" she screamed at me. Then she added quietly, "Go back to your barracks." Next day, the Hungarians were gassed.
Lilly survived a forced march to the Bergen-Belsen camp, where she was liberated on April 15, 1945. She returned to Brussels before immigrating to the United States in 1946.

Anki Overdrive Fast & Furious Edition from Anki
Published on Sep 25, 2017
Get racing with the hottest cars from Fate of the Furious in the amazing Anki Overdrive Fast & Furious Edition. Updated track and app work with all your other Anki Overdrive track. Add new characters from the movie and challenge your friends or the incredible AI racing. These little robotic cars will get your heart racing, too!
Product Info: If you've seen Anki Overdrive, you know how we at TTPM Are big fans of these sets. This modern version of slot car racing relies on tiny, robotic cars that use infrared to read the tracks as they fly around. The cars are controlled by apps, and we have been consistently impressed by the design, performance and technological elegance of these cars.
Last year, they upgraded the track from the original mat to pieces that snap together with magnets and allow you to create all kinds of different track configurations easily. The car "knows" the track after running around it once. The app has been easy to use, and added lots of excitement to the racing. Plus, the cars have different capabilities, so the racing is an immersive and, yes I'll say it, thrilling experience. How do you make it better?
Well Aniki Overdrive has introduced a version inspired by Universal Pictures Fast and Furious franchise, specifically The Fate of the Furious. The starter set comes with 10 modular track pieces and Overdrive Cars of Dom's Ice Charger and Hobb's MXT. Plus, there's special Fast and Furious track piece that when you drive over it triggers an explosion that can disable the other cars. The app (which works with iOS and Android) has gotten a Fast and Furious makeover too, allowing you to drive as Dom, Hobbs, Letty and Tej, and you'll even hear lines from the movie through the app as you play.
The starter set is complete unto itself, but if you have other Anki Overdrive track pieces, you can create a massive run up to 64 pieces. We're still learning to drive on the basic set, so we'll wait to expand our system. Plus, it's plenty exciting right out of the box. We're still trying to get used to the five race modes!
The cars run for about 25 minutes on a charge, but here's something we really love: they take only 8 minutes to charge up fully. There are also activities that allow you to earn in-app currency that you can use to buy upgrades and weapons to power up your cars. Oh, and if you already have Anki Overdrive cars, plop them down on this track, too. Now because you're playing with sophisticated robotics and high end technology, this system isn't inexpensive, but if you're a fan of this type of thing, it is so totally worth it. There's so much to discover and learn as you become an expert driver that it really offers hours--heck, days and weeks--of fun. You might not get recruited by Dom and his team, and you definitely shouldn't try these stunts in the real world, but that's the fun of this. The thrills are real; the competition will get your heart racing and the total experience is like nothing else out there right now.

by Punchy » Wed Sep 14, 2011 1:45 pmNot much action in this one, but still plenty of interesting stuff. Captain America facing up to Odin was fucking cool, as was Thor getting some new armour and Tony jumping into the molten iron. Lots of the big, widescreen moments you want in a crossover, but also character-driven smaller scenes like Spider-Man's reunion with Aunt May. And I bet all those people bitching about Spidey 'quitting' are feeling a bit dumb right about now, he's back! There's one issue left of this series, and there's a lot that needs to be resolved, I can't wait to see how Fraction finishes things and whether it will be Cap or Thor that delivers the final blow to The Serpent. And here is the obligatory mention of Immonen's art, which was fantastic as usual, great work.
by Rockman » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:01 pmsounds terrible.
All style no substance.
by chap22 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:02 pmit only took him 6 issues of a 7-issue event, but Fraction finally reminded me why i absolyutely loved his writing no less than just a year ago. by FAR the best issue of this event, and even though FI as a a whole still has huge problems, the character work in this issue was phenomenal. from Cap's verbal tirade, to all the Odin/Thor father/son stuff, to Pete and May's exchange, to Tony's coolness surrounded by Odin and the elves leading to his complete lack of same when taking his leap of faith, to Hawkeye's worry about his best friend, to Steve's resolve at what looks to be the last stand...this was Fraction nailing the heart and soul of pretty much all the big guns i love from Marvel (minus the Thing of course...).
he's finally got me excited about the end of this mini.
by rdrsfn82 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:04 pmI feel no regrets about dropping this book.
by chap22 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:04 pm
this issue was actually pretty damn good.
by rdrsfn82 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:07 pm
Buying 5 issues of crap to get one issue that's good is not worth it, IMO. I mean, at that point I've spent $24 to get 1 good issue.
Fraction has shown flashes of being good again at times during the Iron Man tie in, but lately his work just hasn't been nearly as good as it was a year or so back. I think he needs to refocus and tone down the social commentary, get back to doing some done-in-one type stories, and stop trying to pad everything out. Like this book, which would have worked much much better as a 4 issue story, IMO.
by chap22 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:12 pm
well, had they actually shown all the important stuff in these 7 issues instead of spreading it out to 800 tie-ins, this could've been a great 7-issue event. instead they wasted time and then out of nowhere had Franklin show up as a deus ex machina, or talk about Paris being destroyed without showing it so the weight of that never hits you if you're not reading IIM, etc.
4 + all the rie-ins, or 7 better paced, either way would've been more enjoyable.
by rdrsfn82 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:15 pm
Also would have helped to have some actual surprises in the issues instead of having everything from the first 5 issues shown in various promo pieces and ads that were in every single comic for months beforehand.
by rdrsfn82 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:15 pmI think if you just piled all of your tie in comics since the start of this event, then read all 56 issues at once after the series was done, it would probably read as a really good event.
by BlueStreak » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:38 pmDid this issue follow up on the "Who are the Mighty" teaser at all?
by Punchy » Wed Sep 14, 2011 2:44 pm
We saw the weapons Tony made, and he says they are each designed for a specific Avenger, but we don't see who exactly gets what, apart from Iron Man himself.
by chap22 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:05 pm
one was clearly a bow. pretty sure we can guess that one.
by BlueStreak » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:10 pm
Is Hank Pym getting a metal glove to use to slap Titania around? He hasn't pulled out his backhand slap in a while. I think it's getting rusty.
by chap22 » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:35 pm
shit, i'll admit it...i 'd
by BlueStreak » Wed Sep 14, 2011 3:38 pm
The key to a good Hank Pym joke is delivery.

The weary traveler may rest in our spacious ground floor lounge and dining hall, only 30 feet from the sea. With free WiFi and classical music, enjoy a sweeping view of the Gulf of Tonkin (South China Sea) and its picturesque fishing craft, directly across our lawn and the promenade.
We serve both delicious Chinese and Western meals, with a lawn BBQ and movies after sunset.
On the 1st floor there are 2 sets of twin rooms, 3 sets of three-bed rooms, and 3 sets of multi-bed room (4 beds each).
The hostel provides a clean, comfortable, cheerful and friendly environment, and also many kinds of service such as bar room, reading room, secure storage/lockers, self-help laundry, internet exploring, international dialing, electric bikes for rent, ticketing and so on.
We have collected a lot of information about traveling in Beihai and nearby scenic spots, to assist travelers. The colorful and welcoming city of Beihai is a perfect counterpoint to other famous attractions in Guangxi province, such as the spectacular mountain scenery of Li River, Yulong River, Detian ?Ban Gioc Falls, and the rice terraces of Longsheng. Beihai is also conveniently close to the border of Vietnam.
21 Youth Hostel belongs to the sea, but is also close to the heart of Beihai City. It is easy walking distance, or a few moments by the interesting electric rickshaws. Moreover, the most famous scenic spot -- The Old Street -- a preserved example of the Beihai of 120 years ago, is just around the corner. The Old Street includes specialty shops, restaurants, book stores, KTVs and many other entertainment places.
Other highlights of the area such as beautiful Silver Beach and the heights of Guantou Ridge are easy to get to as well. Take a short taxi ride to enjoy a swim at the beach, or to the mountaintop lookout.

Hi again,
A little update about my progress. All the small stuff done.
Repository forked : https://github.com/cube88/arquillian-rusheye
Test build, test run, simple comparisons done. Since there are no more preparations to do, I started working on Manager (first part of the project).

Great! Thanks for the update!

Hello everyone,
My first 'real' update... Although starting earlier didn't quite work out because of finishing my M.Sc., last week I started working normally on the project's frist part - Manager. Current result look like that :
What is done :
- Simple project management - we can create project from directories, parse them and aggregate pictures into tree of test cases.
- Simple version of DoubleView - first view where we can compare images.
- SingleView - where we can switch between patterns and results (something like layers in gimp), color differences etc. [that's the full idea, now it only show diff image based on pattern and sample - rush-eye core code reused for this].
Generally, strategy for the first part of this code period is to make all the user interface stuff, so that anyone can try it get the idea about usage.
6. Re: GSoC - Automated Visual VerificationLukáš Fryč May 28, 2012 4:40 AM (in response to fafnir88)
Great job, Jakub!
I will look into setting up additional test suites, so we can try on different real data than you are using as base for development.
7. Re: GSoC - Automated Visual Verificationfafnir88 Jun 4, 2012 2:17 PM (in response to fafnir88)
And the next update is here.
What was done last week :
Double View with synchronized scroll (we change position of one image and the second follows).
Single View with sample/pattern/diff image, zoom in/out, and focus button, that sets display to part of image with errors.
Generating Visual Suite descriptor through menu.
Marking tests with buttons as positive and negative (ResultConclusion field in TestCase where I store data, not in actual result descriptor).
On this screen we can see generated xml from directory, and in the right menu we have buttons and labels, where we can see/set status of selected test.
8. Re: GSoC - Automated Visual Verificationfafnir88 Jun 13, 2012 6:38 PM (in response to fafnir88)
And another one...
Still making usefull gui:
- Drag and drop for moving image.
- custom icons in tests tree.
- filters in tree (only negative/positive/not_tested).
- menu under each image view.
- Integration of parse function from RushEye.
- better image management
9. Re: GSoC - Automated Visual Verificationfafnir88 Jun 29, 2012 8:05 PM (in response to fafnir88)
And update again (looks like I missed one considering one update per week pattern).
Anyway, project is progressing fine :
We can now perform all operations through manager.
- Generating test suite
- Running parse of this suite
- Loading suite and then see/compare test cases.
Small bugs like problem with unpredictable drag and drop fixed.
Still need to do crucial part of inserting changes made by manager into result suite.
And after that generally make gui more simple and user friendly.
10. Re: GSoC - Automated Visual Verificationfafnir88 Jul 17, 2012 3:25 PM (in response to fafnir88)
Midterm over, looks like I'm still in.
Manager is in quite advanced state, on github https://github.com/cube88/arquillian-rusheye there is manual with all current working stuff.
To sum up:
Basic stuff is done and working, user can generate suite, load it, compare images and set his own results for patterns. Then he can run parse for suite and do normal parse(that takes into consideration results user set). User can also set result xml file and change already written results. That's basic stuff, still more to do, and to do it more simple.
Some changes in schedule, still working on manager and mask creator as part of it(mask creator was scheduled last originally).

Lilac and yellow is a graceful color pair such as the duo blueberry and lemon together in flavor. Perhaps they are one of my favorite combinations, and they were my inspiration for these mini cupcakes that I prepared for you, my dears. I made this cake recipe for the first time a while ago using lemon brigadeiro and blueberry jam as filling, and I loved it. This time I made a miniature version with lemon and blueberry buttercream colored with natural colors. I have noticed I've got migraine every time I eat a food that contains food coloring. So I decided to use the natural colors of the ingredients instead of synthetic food dyes.
The pigment that gives blueberry the blue hue is called anthocyanin. It's also the substance with antioxidant activity that helps to prevent some diseases. This wonderful pigment is also a good option on cake decoration. I prepared blueberry jam to get the lilac color for gum paste and the purple for buttercream. Blueberries, such as apples, have some substances (enzymes) that react with oxygen when they are cut, producing a brown color on the surface. So if you cook them, or add sometimes acid (like lemon juice), you will avoid the oxygen contact and prevent the color change. On my first try, I just blended fresh blueberries, but they turned in a brown pure. So I made a blueberry jam to preserve the color and to intensify the flavor.
I cooked some blueberries with water, lemon juice and sugar until thick consistency. Then I added some of this jam to buttercream and I got a beautiful purple color. To make the buttercream roses I followed this tutorial using the Wilton's tip 104. For quite some time I have desired to try this technique. I have to say that I'm in loving with it. How lovely are theses roses?
To tint the gum paste, I added small quantities of jam until the desire lilac shade. With this lilac gum paste I made little roses to decorate the cupcakes with lemon buttercream. I'm so happy how jam and gum paste worked well. I became even happier when I found lilac roses with the same shade at the grocery store. To the lemon buttercream, I prepared first lemon custard with egg yolks, cream, gelatin, lemon and sugar. Then I incorporated it on the buttercream. The yellow of the egg yolks was the pigment here, and it turned into a pastel yellow with the white of the buttercream.
I do really love these mini cupcakes. They are delicate and adorable. They are just as good as they look.
Blueberry Lemon Mini Cupcakes
(adapted from Martha Stewart)
yield: about 10 cupcakes or 20 mini cupcakes
3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup skim milk
3 Tb canola oil
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
2 large egg whites, room temperature
1 cup fresh Blueberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Whisk together half sugar, the milk, oil, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl; set aside.
Put egg whites into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until foamy. Raise speed to medium-high. Gradually add remaining sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
Add half of the flour mixture to the milk mixture; whisk until smooth. Fold in remaining flour mixture, alternating with the egg white mixture. Add blueberries. Fill each cupcake line full with batter.Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 10-15 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
Vanilla Buttercream
(from the book Miette)
yield: 6 cups
Note: For this cupcake recipe you will use about 2 cups.
2 cups (14 ounces) sugar
1/3 cup water
5 large egg whites
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 cups (1 1/2 pounds) unsalted butter, at room temperature.
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Cook the mixture until it reaches 248 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes, keeping a constant eye on it.
Meanwhile, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment.
As soon as the sugar syrup reaches 248 degrees F, immediately pour it into a heat-proof measurer. Pour a few tablespoons into the whites, away from the whisk, so the hot syrup doesn't splash, and whisk on medium speed for a few seconds. Be careful as the syrup is very hot. Pour in a little more syrup and whisk for a few seconds, until incorporated. Repeat until all the syrup has been added. Raise the speed to high and continue to whisk until the mixture cools to room temperature, 70 to 75 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes.
Only when the meringue is cool enough should you begin adding the butter. Reduce the speed to medium. With the mixer running, drop in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, waiting until each is incorporated before adding another. The mixture may deflate and begin to look curdle. Raise the speed to high and continue to add to add tablespoon-size pieces of butter, making sure each is completely combined before adding more. When all of the butter has been added, the frosting should be smooth and thick. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
Use the buttercream immediately, or cover and refrigerate until needed. Store in a zippered plastic bag for up to 1 week in the refrigerator and up to 2 months in the freezer. (To thaw, leave in the refrigerator over-night, not on the countertop). To use the buttercream that has been chilled, remove from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 1 hour, or microwave in 15-second intervals, mixing in between each, until soft. If frosting has been frozen, this can take up to 2 minutes total. You can also soften the buttercream over a bain-marie or a double boiler. The frosting will soften from the outer edges of the bowl so mix from outside, folding the frosting inside. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until soft and spreadable, 2 to 3 minutes.
Lemon Buttercream
Scant 1 cup (225 g) heavy cream
2 egg yolks
2 gelatin sheets
1/3 cup (65g) superfine granulated sugar
1 lemon
Lemon zest of 1 lemon
1 cup (250 g) Buttercream
Make the Lemon Custard: Soak the gelatin in cold water for 20 minutes. In a saucepan, bring the cream to a boil. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar. Pour the boiling cream over the egg-sugar mixture, beating hard. Pour the custard back into the saucepan and cook, stirring, just until it reaches a temperature of 185°F (85°C). Remove from the heat. Drain and squeeze the gelatin of excess water and incorporate it into the custard. Add the lemon and lemon zest, blend with a handheld immersion blender and set aside to cool.
In a bowl, blend the custard with buttercream with a handheld immersion blender to get a smooth cream.Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Blueberry Buttercream
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 Tb sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 cup water
Make the Blueberry Jam: Bring all ingredients to a boil in a saucepan over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes (jam will continue to thicken as it cools).
Force jam through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding skins. Let it cool.
Add blueberry jam to 1 cup buttercream until color desired. Blend buttercream with a handheld immersion blender to get a smooth cream. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a Wilton tip 104.

Dear Editor:
I cannot imagine what universe the author of the letter criticizing Trustee Stephannie Andrews printed in the May 2 Record is living in, for she surely is not living in this one. As someone commented recently to me, "Every community needs a Stephannie Andrews." And I could not agree more. Residents of our community, north, south and east, breathe better because Andrews actively opposed the opening of the Brunswick incinerator. People aware of local current events also know that Andrews has been involved for years to prevent the highly controversial expansion of Republic Airport, which would surely be a disaster for our community and schools, especially Northeast.

McDorman to Give LaFollette Lecture• October 8, 2013 Share:
Todd McDorman, Professor of Rhetoric at Wabash College, will present the 34th Annual LaFollette Lecture at 4:15 p.m. on Thursday, October 10 in Salter Hall in the Fine Arts Center.
McDorman's talk, "One for the Books: Rhetoric, Community, and Memory," reflects his interests in the cultural meaning of baseball and uses a case study from baseball to illustrate the relationship of rhetorical studies to the humanities.
Much of McDorman's recent work has examined the rhetoric of sport, with a particular emphasis on the redemptive efforts of banished baseball icon Pete Rose to repair his image and gain re-entry into baseball. Four times he has had the opportunity to present elements of this work at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, NY.
McDorman joined the Wabash faculty in 1998 and his primary research program has focused on the rhetoric of law with particular interest in marginalized groups. This has resulted in work on topics such as the right-to-die and the Dred Scott case. He has been active at Wabash as a past department chair and was lead writer of Wabash's last re-accreditation self-study. He has been coordinator of Wabash's Moot Court program and in July 2013 he was promoted to full professor.
The LaFollette Lecture Series was established by the Wabash College Board of Trustees to honor Charles D. LaFollette, their longtime colleague on the Board. The lecture is given each year by a Wabash faculty member who is charged to address the relation of his or her special discipline to the humanities, broadly conceived.
The lecture is free and open to the public; a reception will follow his talk.

This first day of the new year has brought several nice surprises for this worn-out researcher. The morning began with a bit of frustration in the wee hours, as I discovered that my subscription to the North Carolina Genealogy Society was not yet activated. I'd placed my order back in November, but had to wait until January 1st in order to have access to the members area. I'd looked forward to entertaining myself with this resource as soon as the clock struck 12, but that was not to be. So, I went to sleep.
Back awake, and restless at about 4:30 a.m., I decided to get back on the computer and continue my ever-lasting search for any mention of my paternal ancestors in any document that I haven't already discovered. I started to look in the usual places, then tried to think of some new and unique terms to put into a google search that might lead me to something new. Nothing worked. I'd seen it all. So...
.... then I did it. I decided that I would put some time and energy into trying to further my knowledge about my maternal ancestors. After all, I knew their names all the way to my gg-grandparents, but I'd never really tried to go any further back than that. The reason? Mainly because the people on that side would only be names to me, and not only that, since my mother and her siblings know even less than I do about their ancestors, there wouldn't really be anyone with whom I could check or verify any information I might find. There are no family stories at all to lead me in any direction on anything. As a matter of fact, it was me who informed them of their own great-grandparents names just a couple of years ago. And neither my mother nor her siblings had any idea that their own mother, Mary Davis, had ever had a sibling, Samuel. They all knew their mother to be an only child, so I guess her brother must've died as a youngster. Anyway, wide awake on the first morning of 2010, and trying not to be too upset about my lack of access to the NCGS Journal archives, I decided to take another look at the BROWNS and DAVISES of Littleton, NC.
I started by trekking backward on my tree at Ancestry.com, starting with my mother and going back to her great-grandparents, Acy and Louvenia BROWN. I've come back a few times over the years and tried to search for Ace (name varies) and the family sometime other than where I'd previously found them (in the 1900 Census). Though I found a few potential "suspects", none could be proven, so shoeboxed them and decided to focus on Louvenia, his wife. I'd never even tried to find her family of origin, even though I had her maiden name, Ross, from an earlier document. A quick search took me right to Luvenia's birth family, and with that, an exciting discovery! Not only did I find the names of Louvenia's parents and siblings, but right away I learned something else. My mother's grandmother, Minerva DAVIS, with whom my mother was very close and deeply connected, was actually named after her grandmother, Minerva ROSS! That's right - my 4th great-grandparents were Everett and Minerva ROSS, and they were right there in Littleton, NC. They'd had seven children, of whom my 3rd-great grandmother, Louvenia, was the oldest. Louvenia's oldest child was my great-grandmother, Minerva, whose second child was my grandmother, Mary, whose second child was my mother! Whew!
I was so excited, but I had no one to tell! My mother no longer answers her phone when it rings; my oldest daugther is vacationing in Egypt, my youngest daughter had gone to Richmond and was staying with friends, so I didn't dare ring her phone at that hour... well you get the picture. So, what did I do? I tweeted my news!! :)
Well, the morning, and then the day just got better and better. First, I took the time to fill out family group sheets (like a good little researcher) on the Ross and Brown households, taking care to stay true to my goal for the new year of documenting my sources for each little thing. I found the Rosses in two more censuses, and also found them to be surrounded by other Ross families on both sides. I shoeboxed all the extra Rosses, since I don't yet know their relationships. Oh, and since neither Everett nor Minerva appear before 1870, I can reasonably assume that they were enslaved. I will look for a cohabitation record for them on my next trip to the Archives. Oh, and by finding the widowed Louvenia in the 1910 Census (with son, Wesley now as HOH), I was able to determine that Ace/Acy died sometime between 1900 and 1910.
Once I did as much as I felt I could on these two families, I finally got up to fix coffee and attend to my persistent hunger pains. When I got back to the computer, my day was made even better because I'd finally been granted access to the member area of the NCGS site! As a member, I have access to the NCGS Journals from 1975 to 2007! Of course, I dug right into this wonderful resource, and already I've found several items of interest. nd now, I have something new to keep me busy during those "down" times, when I just can't think of another way to search for my ancestors.:)
Looks like 2010 is off to a fruitful and interesting start!
Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.

Jaffe: Why Some Investing Styles Won't Die
Marketwatch columnist Chuck Jaffe points that two guarantees in life might just be death and investing strategies.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.

Keystroke logging
Keystroke logging, often referred to as keylogging or keyboard capturing, is the action of recording (logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically covertly, so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored.[1] Keylogging can also be used to study human–computer interaction. Numerous keylogging methods exist: they range from hardware and software-based approaches to acoustic analysis.

Software-based keyloggers
These are computer programs designed to work on the target computer's software.[2] Keyloggers are used in IT organizations to troubleshoot technical problems with computers and business networks. Families and business people use keyloggers legally to monitor network usage without their users' direct knowledge. However, malicious individuals can use keyloggers on public computers to steal passwords or credit card information.
From a technical perspective there are several categories:
- Hypervisor-based: The keylogger can theoretically reside in a malware hypervisor running underneath the operating system, which thus remains untouched. It effectively becomes a virtual machine. Blue Pill is a conceptual example.
- Kernel-based: A program on the machine obtains root access to hide itself in the OS and intercepts keystrokes that pass through the kernel. This method is difficult both to write and to combat. Such keyloggers reside at the kernel level, which makes them difficult to detect, especially for user-mode applications that don't have root access. They are frequently implemented as rootkits that subvert the operating system kernel to gain unauthorized access to the hardware. This makes them very powerful. A keylogger using this method can act as a keyboard device driver, for example, and thus gain access to any information typed on the keyboard as it goes to the operating system.
- API-based: These keyloggers hook keyboard APIs inside a running application. The keylogger registers keystroke events, as if it was a normal piece of the application instead of malware. The keylogger receives an event each time the user presses or releases a key. The keylogger simply records it.
- Form grabbing based: Form grabbing-based keyloggers log web form submissions by recording the web browsing on submit events. This happens when the user completes a form and submits it, usually by clicking a button or hitting enter. This type of keylogger records form data before it is passed over the Internet.
- Memory injection based: Memory Injection (MitB)-based keyloggers perform their logging function by altering the memory tables associated with the browser and other system functions. By patching the memory tables or injecting directly into memory, this technique can be used by malware authors to bypass Windows UAC (User Account Control). The Zeus and Spyeye Trojans use this method exclusively.[5] Non-Windows systems have analogous protection mechanisms that the keylogger must thwart.
- Packet analyzers: This involves capturing network traffic associated with HTTP POST events to retrieve unencrypted passwords. This is made more difficult when connecting via HTTPS, which is one of the reasons HTTPS was invented.
- Remote access software keyloggers: These are local software keyloggers with an added feature that allows access to locally recorded data from a remote location. Remote communication may be achieved when one of these methods is used:
- Data is uploaded to a website, database or an FTP server.
- Data is periodically emailed to a pre-defined email address.
- Data is wirelessly transmitted by means of an attached hardware system.
- The software enables a remote login to the local machine from the Internet or the local network, for data logs stored on the target machine.
Most of these keyloggers aren't stopped by HTTPS encryption because that only protects data in transit between computers. This is a threat in your own computer--the one connected to the keyboard.
Keystroke logging in writing process research
Keystroke logging is now an established research method for the study of writing processes.[6][7] Different programs have been developed to collect online process data of writing activities,[8] including Inputlog, Scriptlog, and Translog.
Keystroke logging is legitimately used as a suitable research instrument in a number of writing contexts. These include studies on cognitive writing processes, which include
- descriptions of writing strategies; the writing development of children (with and without writing difficulties),
- spelling,
- first and second language writing, and
- specialist skill areas such as translation and subtitling.
Keystroke logging can be used to research writing, specifically. It can also be integrated in educational domains for second language learning, programming skills, and typing skills.
Related features
Software keyloggers may be augmented with features that capture user information without relying on keyboard key presses as the sole input. Some of these features include:
- Clipboard logging. Anything that has been copied to the clipboard can be captured by the program.
- Screen logging. Screenshots are taken to capture graphics-based information. Applications with screen logging abilities may take screenshots of the whole screen, of just one application, or even just around the mouse cursor. They may take these screenshots periodically or in response to user behaviours (for example, when a user clicks the mouse). A practical application that is used by some keyloggers with this screen logging ability, is to take small screenshots around where a mouse has just clicked; thus defeating web-based keyboards (for example, the web-based screen keyboards that are often used by banks), and any web-based on-screen keyboard without screenshot protection.
- Programmatically capturing the text in a control. The Microsoft Windows API allows programs to request the text 'value' in some controls. This means that some passwords may be captured, even if they are hidden behind password masks (usually asterisks).[9]
- The recording of every program/folder/window opened including a screenshot of each and every website visited.
- The recording of search engines queries, instant messenger conversations, FTP downloads and other Internet-based activities (including the bandwidth used).
Hardware-based keyloggers
Hardware-based keyloggers do not depend upon any software being installed as they exist at a hardware level in a computer system.
- Firmware-based: BIOS-level firmware that handles keyboard events can be modified to record these events as they are processed. Physical and/or root-level access is required to the machine, and the software loaded into the BIOS needs to be created for the specific hardware that it will be running on.[10]
- Keyboard hardware: Hardware keyloggers are used for keystroke logging by means of a hardware circuit that is attached somewhere in between the computer keyboard and the computer, typically inline with the keyboard's cable connector. There are also USB connectors based Hardware keyloggers as well as ones for Laptop computers (the Mini-PCI card plugs into the expansion slot of a laptop). More stealthy implementations can be installed or built into standard keyboards, so that no device is visible on the external cable. Both types log all keyboard activity to their internal memory, which can be subsequently accessed, for example, by typing in a secret key sequence.[11] A hardware keylogger has an advantage over a software solution: it is not dependent on being installed on the target computer's operating system and therefore will not interfere with any program running on the target machine or be detected by any software. However its physical presence may be detected if, for example, it is installed outside the case as an inline device between the computer and the keyboard. Some of these implementations have the ability to be controlled and monitored remotely by means of a wireless communication standard.[12]
- Wireless keyboard sniffers: These passive sniffers collect packets of data being transferred from a wireless keyboard and its receiver. As encryption may be used to secure the wireless communications between the two devices, this may need to be cracked beforehand if the transmissions are to be read.
- Keyboard overlays: Criminals have been known to use keyboard overlays on ATMs to capture people's PINs. Each keypress is registered by the keyboard of the ATM as well as the criminal's keypad that is placed over it. The device is designed to look like an integrated part of the machine so that bank customers are unaware of its presence.[13]
- Acoustic keyloggers: Acoustic cryptanalysis can be used to monitor the sound created by someone typing on a computer. Each key on the keyboard makes a subtly different acoustic signature when struck. It is then possible to identify which keystroke signature relates to which keyboard character via statistical methods such as frequency analysis. The repetition frequency of similar acoustic keystroke signatures, the timings between different keyboard strokes and other context information such as the probable language in which the user is writing are used in this analysis to map sounds to letters.[14] A fairly long recording (1000 or more keystrokes) is required so that a big enough sample is collected.[15]
- Electromagnetic emissions: It is possible to capture the electromagnetic emissions of a wired keyboard from up to 20 metres (66 ft) away, without being physically wired to it.[16] In 2009, Swiss researchers tested 11 different USB, PS/2 and laptop keyboards in a semi-anechoic chamber and found them all vulnerable, primarily because of the prohibitive cost of adding shielding during manufacture.[17] The researchers used a wide-band receiver to tune into the specific frequency of the emissions radiated from the keyboards.
- Optical surveillance: Optical surveillance, while not a keylogger in the classical sense, is nonetheless an approach that can be used to capture passwords or PINs. A strategically placed camera, such as a hidden surveillance camera at an ATM, can allow a criminal to watch a PIN or password being entered.[18][19]
- Physical evidence: For a keypad that is used only to enter a security code, the keys which are in actual use will have evidence of use from many fingerprints. A passcode of four digits, if the four digits in question are known, is reduced from 10,000 possibilities to just 24 possibilities (104 versus 4! (factorial of 4)). These could then be used on separate occasions for a manual "brute force attack".
- Smartphone sensors: Researchers have demonstrated that it is possible to capture the keystrokes of nearby computer keyboards using only the commodity accelerometer found in smartphones.[20] The attack is made possible by placing a smartphone nearby a keyboard on the same desk. The smartphone's accelerometer can then detect the vibrations created by typing on the keyboard, and then translate this raw accelerometer signal into readable sentences with as much as 80 percent accuracy. The technique involves working through probability by detecting pairs of keystrokes, rather than individual keys. It models "keyboard events" in pairs and then works out whether the pair of keys pressed is on the left or the right side of the keyboard and whether they are close together or far apart on the QWERTY keyboard. Once it has worked this out, it compares the results to a preloaded dictionary where each word has been broken down in the same way.[21] Similar techniques have also been shown to be effective at capturing keystrokes on touchscreen keyboards[22][23][24] while in some cases, in combination with gyroscope.[25][26]
An early keylogger was written by Perry Kivolowitz and posted to the Usenet news group net.unix-wizards,net.sources on November 17, 1983.[27] The posting seems to be a motivating factor in restricting access to /dev/kmem on Unix systems. The user-mode program operated by locating and dumping character lists (clists) as they were assembled in the Unix kernel.
In the 1970s, spies installed keystroke loggers in the US Embassy and Consulate buildings in Moscow and St Petersburg.[28][29] They installed the bugs in Selectric II and Selectric III electric typewriters.[30]
Soviet embassies used manual typewriters, rather than electric typewriters, for classified information—apparently because they are immune to such bugs.[30] As of 2013, Russian special services still use typewriters.[29][31][32]
Writing simple software applications for keylogging can be trivial, and like any nefarious computer program, can be distributed as a trojan horse or as part of a virus. What is not trivial for an attacker, however, is installing a covert keystroke logger without getting caught and downloading data that has been logged without being traced. An attacker that manually connects to a host machine to download logged keystrokes risks being traced. A trojan that sends keylogged data to a fixed e-mail address or IP address risks exposing the attacker.
Researchers devised several methods for solving this problem. They presented a deniable password snatching attack in which the keystroke logging trojan is installed using a virus or worm.[33] [34] An attacker who is caught with the virus or worm can claim to be a victim. The cryptotrojan asymmetrically encrypts the pilfered login/password pairs using the public key of the trojan author and covertly broadcasts the resulting ciphertext. They mentioned that the ciphertext can be steganographically encoded and posted to a public bulletin board such as Usenet. Researchers devised several methods for solving this problem. They presented a deniable password snatching attack in which the keystroke logging trojan is installed using a virus or worm.[33]
Use by police
In 2000, the FBI used FlashCrest iSpy to obtain the PGP passphrase of Nicodemo Scarfo, Jr., son of mob boss Nicodemo Scarfo.[35] Also in 2000, the FBI lured two suspected Russian cyber criminals to the US in an elaborate ruse, and captured their usernames and passwords with a keylogger that was covertly installed on a machine that they used to access their computers in Russia. The FBI then used these credentials to hack into the suspects' computers in Russia in order to obtain evidence to prosecute them.[36]
The effectiveness of countermeasures varies, because keyloggers use a variety of techniques to capture data and the countermeasure needs to be effective against the particular data capture technique. For example, an on-screen keyboard will be effective against hardware keyloggers, transparency will defeat some—but not all—screenloggers and an anti-spyware application that can only disable hook-based keyloggers will be ineffective against kernel-based keyloggers.
Also, keylogger program authors may be able to update the code to adapt to countermeasures that may have proven to be effective against them.
Anti keyloggers
An anti keylogger is a piece of software specifically designed to detect keyloggers on a computer, typically comparing all files in the computer against a database of keyloggers looking for similarities which might signal the presence of a hidden keylogger. As anti keyloggers have been designed specifically to detect keyloggers, they have the potential to be more effective than conventional anti virus software; some anti virus software do not consider certain keyloggers a virus, as under some circumstances a keylogger can be considered a legitimate piece of software.[citation needed]
Live CD/USB
Rebooting the computer using a Live CD or write-protected Live USB is a possible countermeasure against software keyloggers if the CD is clean of malware and the operating system contained on it is secured and fully patched so that it cannot be infected as soon as it is started. Booting a different operating system does not impact the use of a hardware or BIOS based keylogger.
Anti-spyware / Anti-virus programs
Many anti-spyware applications are able to detect some software based keyloggers and quarantine, disable or cleanse them. However, because many keylogging programs are legitimate pieces of software under some circumstances, anti spyware often neglects to label keylogging programs as spyware or a virus. These applications are able to detect software-based keyloggers based on patterns in executable code, heuristics and keylogger behaviours (such as the use of hooks and certain APIs).
No software-based anti-spyware application can be 100% effective against all keyloggers.[citation needed] Also, software-based anti-spyware cannot defeat non-software keyloggers (for example, hardware keyloggers attached to keyboards will always receive keystrokes before any software-based anti-spyware application).
However, the particular technique that the anti-spyware application uses will influence its potential effectiveness against software keyloggers. As a general rule, anti-spyware applications with higher privileges will defeat keyloggers with lower privileges. For example, a hook-based anti-spyware application cannot defeat a kernel-based keylogger (as the keylogger will receive the keystroke messages before the anti-spyware application), but it could potentially defeat hook- and API-based keyloggers.
Network monitors
Network monitors (also known as reverse-firewalls) can be used to alert the user whenever an application attempts to make a network connection. This gives the user the chance to prevent the keylogger from "phoning home" with his or her typed information.
Automatic form filler programs
Automatic form-filling programs may prevent keylogging by removing the requirement for a user to type personal details and passwords using the keyboard. Form fillers are primarily designed for web browsers to fill in checkout pages and log users into their accounts. Once the user's account and credit card information has been entered into the program, it will be automatically entered into forms without ever using the keyboard or clipboard, thereby reducing the possibility that private data is being recorded. However someone with physical access to the machine may still be able to install software that is able to intercept this information elsewhere in the operating system or while in transit on the network. (Transport Layer Security (TLS) reduces the risk that data in transit may be intercepted by network sniffers and proxy tools.)
One-time passwords (OTP)
Using one-time passwords may be keylogger-safe, as each password is invalidated as soon as it is used. This solution may be useful for someone using a public computer. However, an attacker who has remote control over such a computer can simply wait for the victim to enter his/her credentials before performing unauthorised transactions on their behalf while their session is active.
Security tokens
Use of smart cards or other security tokens may improve security against replay attacks in the face of a successful keylogging attack, as accessing protected information would require both the (hardware) security token as well as the appropriate password/passphrase. Knowing the keystrokes, mouse actions, display, clipboard etc. used on one computer will not subsequently help an attacker gain access to the protected resource. Some security tokens work as a type of hardware-assisted one-time password system, and others implement a cryptographic challenge-response authentication, which can improve security in a manner conceptually similar to one time passwords. Smartcard readers and their associated keypads for PIN entry may be vulnerable to keystroke logging through a so-called supply chain attack[37] where an attacker substitutes the card reader/PIN entry hardware for one which records the user's PIN.
On-screen keyboards
Most on-screen keyboards (such as the on-screen keyboard that comes with Windows XP) send normal keyboard event messages to the external target program to type text. Software key loggers can log these typed characters sent from one program to another.[38] Additionally, keylogging software can take screenshots of what is displayed on the screen (periodically, and/or upon each mouse click), which means that although certainly a useful security measure, an on-screen keyboard will not protect from all keyloggers.[citation needed]
Keystroke interference software
Keystroke interference software is also available.[39] These programs attempt to trick keyloggers by introducing random keystrokes, although this simply results in the keylogger recording more information than it needs to. An attacker has the task of extracting the keystrokes of interest—the security of this mechanism, specifically how well it stands up to cryptanalysis, is unclear.
Speech recognition
Similar to on-screen keyboards, speech-to-text conversion software can also be used against keyloggers, since there are no typing or mouse movements involved. The weakest point of using voice-recognition software may be how the software sends the recognized text to target software after the recognition took place.
Handwriting recognition and mouse gestures
Also, many PDAs and lately tablet PCs can already convert pen (also called stylus) movements on their touchscreens to computer understandable text successfully. Mouse gestures use this principle by using mouse movements instead of a stylus. Mouse gesture programs convert these strokes to user-definable actions, such as typing text. Similarly, graphics tablets and light pens can be used to input these gestures, however these are less common everyday.
The same potential weakness of speech recognition applies to this technique as well.
Macro expanders/recorders
With the help of many programs, a seemingly meaningless text can be expanded to a meaningful text and most of the time context-sensitively, e.g. "en.wikipedia.org" can be expanded when a web browser window has the focus. The biggest weakness of this technique is that these programs send their keystrokes directly to the target program. However, this can be overcome by using the 'alternating' technique described below, i.e. sending mouse clicks to non-responsive areas of the target program, sending meaningless keys, sending another mouse click to target area (e.g. password field) and switching back-and-forth.
Non-technological methods
Alternating between typing the login credentials and typing characters somewhere else in the focus window[40] can cause a keylogger to record more information than they need to, although this could easily be filtered out by an attacker. Similarly, a user can move their cursor using the mouse during typing, causing the logged keystrokes to be in the wrong order e.g., by typing a password beginning with the last letter and then using the mouse to move the cursor for each subsequent letter. Lastly, someone can also use context menus to remove, cut, copy, and paste parts of the typed text without using the keyboard. An attacker who is able to capture only parts of a password will have a smaller key space to attack if he chose to execute a brute-force attack.
Another very similar technique uses the fact that any selected text portion is replaced by the next key typed. e.g., if the password is "secret", one could type "s", then some dummy keys "asdfsd". Then, these dummies could be selected with the mouse, and the next character from the password "e" is typed, which replaces the dummies "asdfsd".
These techniques assume incorrectly that keystroke logging software cannot directly monitor the clipboard, the selected text in a form, or take a screenshot every time a keystroke or mouse click occurs. They may however be effective against some hardware keyloggers.

Such patients may respond to a motivational intervention to educate, reassure, and motivate, such as the "5 R's": relevance, risks, rewards, roadblocks, and repetition.Motivational interventions are most likely to be successful when the clinician is:
Encourage the patient to discuss why quitting is personally relevant, being as specific as possible. Motivational information has the greatest impact if it is relevant to a patient's disease status or risk, family or social situation (e.g., having children in the home), health concerns, age, gender, and other important patient characteristics (e.g., prior quitting experience, personal barriers to cessation).
The clinician should ask the patient to identify potential negative consequences of tobacco use. You may suggest and highlight those that seem most relevant to the patient and emphasize that smoking low-tar/low-nicotine cigarettes or use of other forms of tobacco (e.g., smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes) will not eliminate these risks.
Examples of risks are:
The clinician should ask the patient to identify potential benefits of stopping tobacco use. You may suggest and highlight those that seem most relevant to the patient.
Examples of rewards follow:
The clinician should ask the patient to identify barriers or impediments to quitting and note elements of treatment (problem solving, pharmacotherapy) that could address barriers.
Typical barriers might include:
The motivational intervention should be repeated every time an unmotivated patient visits the clinic setting. Tobacco users who have failed in previous quit attempts should be told that most people make repeated quit attempts before they are successful.
