CIOs from 43 states converged in Baltimore for the NASCIO Midyear Conference this week. The event, which began May 6, set record numbers, with more than 450 people in attendance. Here's what Government Technology editors heard throughout the day:
CYBERSECURITY -- NASCIO President Craig Orgeron said state CIOs met this week with federal officials on strengthening cybersecurity collaboration between the two levels of government. Key topics of conversation included how to implement the newly released National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework in state governments and how to broaden the impact of federal funding provided to states for cyberprotection.
The cybersecurity framework – officially dubbed the "Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity" – was released by the NIST in February. The 41-page framework is meant to help operators of critical infrastructure develop comprehensive cybersecurity policies. The Obama administration described the document as a "how-to" guide for the critical infrastructure community.
A statement released by NASCIO in February applauded the framework for being both consensus-based and voluntary, saying it provides states with a common platform and a common language for cybersecurity at all levels of government as well as the private sector.
On Thursday, NASCIO President Craig Orgeron said the organization is now talking with federal officials on ways to move states toward adoption of the NIST framework. "Are there incentives? And how are grant programs tied together that would move a state forward?" said Orgeron, who is CIO of Mississippi.
NASCIO also is lobbying for changes that would make it easier for states to spend federal dollars on enterprisewide cybersecurity improvements. Current federal support for state cybersecurity often is tied to specific programs that are funded by the federal government and operated by states.
"Modernizing the federal cost allocation guidelines so when those dollars do flow to states, CIOs have flexibility and you're not really constrained in a particular funding path would be a huge step forward," Orgeron said.
Harmonizing federal funding practices with the recommendations contained in the NIST framework could drive significant cybersecurity improvements for states, he added. "It's an incredibly exciting time. The NIST model has been very well received."
TECH CHAMPION -- Longtime government employee Dave McClure was recognized as the 2014 Technology Champion by NASCIO. While McClure has worked to advance technology in government for more than three decades, he said his "most significant accomplishments have occurred in the last five years." Currently serving as the associate administrator of the office of citizen services and innovative technologies for the U.S. General Services Administration, McClure said he's working on projects that inform citizens and let them interact with government in new ways. NASCIO called McClure "one of the most active and influential participants" in the implementation of technology in the public sector, citing his working with the White House to advance open government, digital strategy and IT efficiency programs.
"Each year NASCIO recognizes an individual who has demonstrated a clear understanding for the fundamental and transformational role that IT can play in efficient and effective government operations and Dave is more than deserving of this recognition," said Orgeron in a statement.
NOW HIRING -- With the silver tsunami predicted to impact the government workforce for the foreseeable future, states are looking for ways to attract employees to the public sector. Like in many agencies, nearly one-quarter of Maine's IT employees are eligible to retire in the next two years. To meet the demand, the state's Office of Information Technology is reaching out to veterans' resources, unemployment programs and colleges to find new opportunities for hiring. "We have to look under a lot of rocks," said Kelly Samson-Rickert, the state's director of workforce development.
Maine started an IT internship program in January 2013, seeking to expose students to the office's work and IT-related careers. The internships are paid positions, and the participants work for three to six months, focusing on a project or position like help desk services, cybersecurity or Web design. And the initiative is paying off — to date the state has hired 15 interns (more than 50 percent of the participants, said Samson-Rickert), with several more currently in the process of applying.

In the time-honoured RPG tradition, I've been collecting swords.
Not to use, necessarily Arcania's endless kill-and-loot cycle so rarely throws up compelling gear, it's almost a joke but to sell. Gold is required to buy crafting blueprints from the smithy, so I can tinker up some interesting magical weapons of my own. These blueprints are astronomically expensive, but I've been collecting for some hours now. Let's see what the shopkeeper thinks of my wares.
32 swords, nine crossbows, 19 bows, 17 shields, a dozen orcish maces, a couple of hundred arrows and a magical warhammer nearly twice my height called Cold Hatred. I wait for the trader's reaction to my titanic haul. Seriously, I'm like Doctor Who, cheerfully jogging an endless string of first-division players out of the Tardis in front of a baffled Fabio Cappello.
Does he stagger back in amazement at the implausibility of it all? No. He tosses me a pittance, which nudges my funds the tiniest pico-increment towards affording something truly useful. This scene illustrates the lack of balance that permeates Arcania.
The fourth instalment of the Gothic RPG series has fallen to German developer Spellbound after the original studio, Pirhana Bytes, split from their publishing deal with JoWood in 2007. It's familiar territory for fans of the series at heart, it's a trad hack-and-slash RPG but after three years in development (and with some obvious areas of excellence we'll come to) you might expect something a little more rounded, a little more intelligent, a little more... developed.
Take the visuals. In many regards they're spectacular and evocative. You'll see some breathtaking vistas in Arcania; looking down from a high mountain across acres of woodland, with snowy peaks rising in sharp, blue-white relief in the far distance, you might make out a temple nestling among the crags and, with a feeling of warm anticipation, realise you'll probably end up there soon.
Sunrise and sunset can be times of wonder. An early bow-tutorial quest sees you hunting deer at sunset in a woodland glade. Excellent use of high dynamic range lighting creates a contrast between deep, shady greenery and the honeyed richness of the setting sun, which paints its way through branches and boughs to colour the terrain in a terrifically atmospheric way. It can be heart-stoppingly beautiful.
But in the same breath, the graphics also disappoint. For instance, dialogue sequences, which use the in-game engine, fail to show off the superb character skins, as high-res textures often don't resolve and those crisp, steely suits of armour slump into drabness. The commendably intense levels of foliage draw in and out of the middle-distance as you wander the world and this really breaks the spell every time you notice it.
The worst assault on the senses comes courtesy of whoever decided to apply tree-sway animations and, seemingly drunk on a dream of dancing foliage, turned the dial to 11. Trunks and branches take on a rubbery life of their own and, in certain parts of the world, entire woodlands sway and lurch sickeningly. It's as though you're stalking through a nightmare landscape of leafy cartoon blancmanges a sad undoing of somebody's hard work that butchers the suspension of disbelief.
The sense of simultaneous success and failure is felt everywhere. Take the quests. They're prolific, and there's a great incentive to do them, as it soon becomes apparent that completing quests is a far more efficient way of levelling than grinding your way through monsters. But fetch-quests and kill-quests are all too frequent, and the machine-shop repetition soon leads to the kind of RPG ennui we've all felt. But it's the critical-path quests, which should feel big, meaty and important, which form the greatest source of irritation. Here's how they work, every single time.
You enter a new area of the world, with a single objective for the storyline. You meet an NPC. He tells you what must be done to drive the story onwards and get you closer to your goal. Then he throws in a complicating factor essentially a storyline sub-quest. Can you maybe go and get this thing for me?
You trot off into the wilds to complete the innocuous sub-quest. You return to the NPC, you ask him about the big objective again, and he says something else now needs to be done, which involves someone else. Another sub-quest. A new NPC to talk to. Mission complete, you ask the new NPC about your key objective. He says he can help, but only if you do something for him. Could you maybe...?
On and on it branches. Arcania consistently highlights important objectives down the road, then clutters your path with a series of busywork roadblocks. And really, that's nothing new; RPGs do this all the time. But it's a question of presentation, and a sense of performing worthy activities.
Fallout 3, for instance, gives you overarching goals, but it never boxes you into feeling that the in-between steps are obstacles to progress or simply irrelevant. Each step feels like a big step, a worthy step, a uniquely world-changing step. Staggeringly, Arcania's main character starts getting shirty with NPCs at this constant series of interferences. It's like a guilty acknowledgement from the scriptwriters.
At one stage I was on the trail of two mages, the only characters in the world who could help me to reach an utterly crucial location. One key NPC on the trail demanded I head back into that awful bloody wobble-forest, which I'd already criss-crossed numerous, bilious times on other minor tasks, to find his lost hat.
Let me get this straight. I'm wearing more metal than a commercial airliner, there's fire dripping from my fingertips and I'm brandishing a polearm the size of a tree. I'm a walking war-god on a quest to save the world, and you're asking me to find... your lost hat?
How about I pull your head off? Then you won't need your hat.
Combat and character development are simple and competent enough, and the obvious specialisation pathways are there: archery, melee and spellwork. A career in the magical arts lacks any real intricacy however, as there are just three combat spells: fire, ice and lightning bolts. This actually makes you less versatile than a dedicated archer, who has access to a wider range of effects through special arrow-types. However, keen attendance to side-quests sees you level frequently, and the proliferation of skill-points means that you can just about get away with being a jack-of-all-trades.
It's worth reiterating that the loot is frequently paltry. Every now and then you'll slay a named NPC, and he'll drop something useful with a neat effect. Everything else is cash-trash, and you'll cart wagon-loads of it to the traders who, woefully understocked with interesting gear themselves, will give you a pauper's fee for your swag.
Alchemical crafting can be useful, as the wide range of elixirs and potions you can make really do have an impact on your combat effectiveness. Weapon crafting, however, seems largely pointless. In 17 hours of play, no craftable weapon I found blueprints for beat what was strapped to my back, and the grind required to locate the correct combination of materials sealed the deal. For all its faults, even Two Worlds had the carrot-and-stick of quality loot to help you feel like you were making some meaningful, empowering progress.
What Two Worlds and Arcania do share is the same grade of voice direction. Arcania's menagerie of gabbling harridans and campy village idiots, with their laboured regional accents and daft intonation, make it sound for all the world like an episode of Horrible Histories. A really cut-rate episode.
Beneath Arcania's often outstanding art direction and technical achievement lies a dry spreadsheet of must-have RPG elements, none of which is sufficiently developed to compel and all of which fail to balance against one another. But its ultimate failing is that it treats you like a heel. It neither mentally nor materially rewards the player, which is absolutely fundamental to an enjoyable RPG.
Arcania: Gothic 4 is available now for PC on Steam. The PC and Xbox 360 versions will be available in shops on 29th October. The PS3 version is due in early 2011.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- An Illinois judge has ordered adult film star Jenna Jameson to pay $92,000 for skipping two personal appearances last year.
The Chicago Sun-Times said Hollywood Palms Cinema and Hollywood Boulevard Cinema owner Ted Bulthaup sued Jameson for breach of contract after she called in sick and failed to attend screenings of her movie 2008 comedy-horror flick "Zombie Strippers!" at the theaters in Naperville and Woodridge in March 2011.
A DuPage County judge Tuesday ordered Jameson to pay the damages after video footage surfaced showing her at a birthday party in Hollywood for celebrity blogger Perez Hilton on one of the nights she was supposed to be in Illinois, the Sun-Times said.
Jameson wasn't in court or represented by an attorney Tuesday, the newspaper reported.

ROCHESTER — An American food icon is laid to rest, and some loyal snack lovers lined up at local thrift shops and grocery stores to grab the last of their favorite treats, sweets and tastes of nostalgia. Others, meanwhile, were seeing the opportunity to make a buck or two off dwindling Hostess items die as well.
Selling for $80, five boxes of "Twinkies Golden Sponge Cake With Creamy Filling" had only 14 bids on the popular auction website, eBay. Christmas themed Twinkies were priced just under that amount at $75. And, a box of the less-mentioned Orange cupcakes were priced the lowest at $14.95 — with free shipping.
For the ambitious do-it-yourselfer, a "Bake Your Own" Hostess Twinkies pan and baking set was available on the site for $59.99 plus $11 shipping and handling.
Local grocery stores, however, were seeing some returns on Monday of the beloved snack items, perhaps an indication of a failed money-making plan.
At Hannaford on North Main Street in Rochester, Foster's learned there were at least 10 boxes of Hostess items returned to the customer service desk where an employee said she and other staff were lightheartedly pondering whether someone was unable to sell their Twinkies for "top dollar."
"We wondered why so many were coming back," the customer service representative, who remained anonymous but confirmed the return, said.
To the contrary, management said the store was not seeing "anything out of the ordinary" in terms of returned goods for the day.
The customer service employee did note the supply of items returned were "out of code" as well.
On Hancock Street at the Wonder Bread Bakery Thrift Store, both longtime employees and customers were upset to see the landmark prepare to close.
At 1 p.m. on Monday, a sign hung on the thriftshop door alerting patrons the store would be closed for an hour to restock shelves. When doors opened there were many remaining empty shelves and an employee announced to a waiting group of shoppers there was still no bread or cake available yet.
As they waited in the parking lot, some customers joked they would stock up on the popular items and sell them on eBay.
But, some were just stocking up for themselves to avoid being a high-paying eBay customer at some point.
"I refuse to pay $20 for a box of Twinkies," Sandy Kohl, of Rochester, said.
As they entered the store, customers were amazed at the number of people who filled the aisles of the small store.
"This is the busiest I've ever seen the place," Tisha Wade, of Rochester, said. A frequent customer with four children at home, she said she frequents the shop and is sad to see it closing.
She said it's not just for the baked goods and sugary snacks that she visits, but there are always some healthier items, like fruit snacks, available as well.
Wade said one of her children is autistic and just loves the frosting-coated honey buns
"He just loves all that stuff and is very upset that their going out of business," she said.
"This is the emptiest I've ever seen the shelves!," was shouted from a disappointed customer over the packed aisles.
While there was a solid supply of cereal and fruitcake; Twinkies, doughnuts and cake were unseen, but according to longtime district sales manager Kevin Clements, a supply of Wonder bread — what will be the last of the final batch — was expected on Tuesday, just in time for Thanksgiving at least.
"We have a lot of really great employees," he said. "A great crew here, especially."
After working at the store for 30 years, he said a lot of the customers had become like family.
"We'll miss all our customers because we had some really fantastic customers," he said.
Though employees, including Davidson, were asked not to comment on the company's closing, he was open about how sad the crew in Rochester was upon hearing the news.
"We're sorry to see it go," he said.
Clements said he expected the store to remain open through Friday.
Calls to the "Hostess Brands" media center for comment were not immediately returned to Foster's on Monday.
Filling the trunk of her car with bags of items, Kathy Davidson, of Rochester, who had been shopping with Kohl, who loves the chocolate and peanut butter the Funny Bones most, said she visits the store a few times a month and echoed Clements sentiment.
"It's a shame, because it's been an icon in the U.S.," Davidson said.
Just as a steady stream of cars continued to pull into the parking lot, vehicles exited one by one carrying the last of Rochester's Hostess goods from the thriftshop.
"We're sorry to see it go!" Davidson shouted from her car as she drove off.
Sugary snack is sparse in Rochester as locals stock up
ROCHESTER — An American food icon is laid to rest, and some loyal snack lovers lined up at local thrift shops and grocery stores to grab the last of their favorite treats, sweets and tastes of nostalgia.

Dean Kamen's Slingshot heard 'round the worldBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 06. 2012 7:47PM
MANCHESTER - Dean Kamen beams with the pride of a new parent as he taps on the side of what looks like a dorm-room refrigerator with a water dispenser in the lower left-hand corner.
New Hampshire's best-known inventor and engineer is showcasing the Slingshot - a portable, low-power water purification system that's been in development at Kamen's DEKA Research and Development Corp. in the Manchester millyard for the past decade.
What Kamen calls a 10-year science project could now become a global reality, thanks to a multimillion dollar partnership with Coca-Cola announced on Sept. 25.
Known worldwide as a visionary for inventions such as the Segway personal transporter, Kamen minced no words in his enthusiasm for the Slingshot. 'We're going to build the world's coolest piece of technology to solve the biggest world problem,' he said.
The problem is a lack of safe drinking water in developing nations. Kamen has been convinced for years that the Slingshot is the answer, but he has not had the resources and partnerships needed to mass produce the machine and deploy it by the thousands in places such as Africa, where 300 million people have limited access to potable water.
'For years, we looked for a partner who could help us get the Slingshot machine into production, scale it up, bring down the cost curve, and deliver and operate the units in the places where the need is the greatest. Now we have that partner with Coca-Cola,' Kamen said.
The machine's name is derived from the biblical battle between David and Goliath, in which the shepherd boy defeats the giant with a slingshot. Known for both his technical and marketing savvy, Kamen delights in explaining the metaphor.
'The Goliath of the 21st century for millions of people is bad water,' he said, 'and all those little villages need a slingshot to deal with that Goliath. The 21st-century slingshot is right here.'
It boils and evaporates water from any source - rivers, oceans, even raw sewage - then allows the pure water to condense and be collected. Earlier versions were much larger and required more electricity. The smaller pre-production model can produce 10 gallons of clean water an hour while consuming less than 1 kilowatt of electricity, less than the power needed for a handheld blow dryer.
It can be plugged into any wall socket or be powered by solar cells, batteries or DEKA's own Stirling electric generator, which runs on biogases such as methane from local waste sources.
Coke enters the picture
Creating a device that delivers clean water from almost any source is one thing. Getting them built and deployed in sufficient numbers to have global impact is another. That's where Coke comes in, Kamen said. 'We went from big companies to foundations; we went from foundations to the World Health Organization, and they all said, 'This is a big idea; it's fantastic, but we can't do the part you're not doing.''
Then DEKA began working with Coke on new technology for vending machines. The result was the Coca-Cola 'Freestyle' soda fountain, sort of a jukebox offering every beverage Coke makes and some combinations that are not even available in bottle form. More than 10,000 of the freestyle machines, offering 127 flavor combinations, are in the field already at places such as Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
'We figured if we exceeded their expectations on this commercial partnership, we would get their attention,' Kamen said.
It worked. Coca-Cola is committing millions to the development, production and deployment of the Slingshot machines in what it calls a long-term global clean water partnership.
The beverage company and DEKA will also partner with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Africare to bring the technology to Latin America and Africa. The IDB focuses on assistance to developing nations in the Caribbean and Latin America, while Africare, founded in 1970, has provided more than $1 billion in assistance to 36 nations on the continent.
Kamen is convinced that all the pieces are in place to bring a decade-long dream to reality, combining DEKA's technology with Coke's expertise in logistics and the 'on-the-ground' connections of the IDB and Africare.
'Wherever you go in the world, there is one product you can buy - a Coke,' Kamen said. 'They have figured out how to build the most effective distribution system for a product that has to sell for pennies in the most remote places in the world.'
First looks
The Slingshot has gotten a lot of attention since it was first unveiled in the earlier part of the last decade. It was featured on '60 Minutes II' in 2003, and in 2006 celebrities including U2 lead singer Bono and actress Angelina Jolie offered support, as Kamen began work on a nonprofit corporation to push the project forward.
'We're still in the process of doing that,' Kamen said. 'But with Coke as a partner, we think we ought to do it on a different scale.'
The newest version of the Slingshot was on display at the Coca-Cola pavilion during the summer Olympics so that Coke personnel could demonstrate its potential to a worldwide audience and measure the feedback. Coke Chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent was on the stage with former President Bill Clinton at the Clinton Global Initiative plenary session in New York two weeks ago, where Clinton expressed his own enthusiasm for the emerging partnership.
Before finalizing the deal, Coke and DEKA conducted 2011 field trials of the Slingshot at five schools in Ghana, providing more than 140,000 liters of water to 1,500 schoolchildren over a six-month period. The next step is to have 50 units of the production version built by a contract manufacturer in central Massachusetts. The first of those is expected to roll off the assembly line next week, with all 50 completed by the end of the month.
Twenty will be brought to DEKA to be put through rigorous testing, while 30 will be field-tested by Coke in South Africa, Mexico and Paraguay. If the tests prove out, the machine could move into mass production by the middle of 2013.
Kamen said Coke stands ready to invest 'tens of millions of dollars' to build the manufacturing equipment needed for mass production that could ultimately put 1 million to 2 million Slingshots online.
'Water is the lifeblood of our business, and our commitment is to ensure we're doing our part to replenish the water we use and give it back to communities around the world,' Kent said. Coke has set a goal of 'no net loss of water' in the production of its beverages by 2020.
'We are now at the point where even the skeptics would have to say, 'Wow, this could actually have a major impact on global health,'' Kamen said.
The project could also have an effect on the local economy, contributing to continued growth at DEKA, which had 100 employees in one floor of one building on Commercial Street 10 years ago and now has 400 employees occupying multiple buildings at the revitalized mill complex. The company was founded in 1982.
'Almost every product we've ever developed, we stay involved with,' said Kamen, whose inventions have ranged from the Segway to innovative medical devices that had game-changing effects .
'I tilt at windmills,' he said, 'and sometimes, you get them.'

We'll be honest: The gnomes had us scared. The entryway to Mulberry's spring '13 show, which was located, per usual, in the ballroom of Claridge's, was flanked by plastic gnomes — some little, some giant, all pastel-colored. However, we needn't have worried. Though Emma Hill's latest offering did include a gecko print (which was more subtle than it sounds thanks to the additions of hammered silk, florals, crepe de chine, and jacquard), the gnomes were simply a tongue-in-cheek nod to the garden theme.
As Kate Moss, Olivia Palermo, Downton Abbey's Elizabeth McGovern, and handbag honorees Lana Del Rey and Alexa Chung looked on from the front row, supple biscuit-brown nappa leather capes, cargo trousers, skirts, shirt dresses, and sweatshirts paraded down the runway. Floral-print accents — including sandals, booties, belts, and jackets — softened the look, as did the aforementioned gecko print, which graced both a willowy, hammered-silk dress with pleats running down the sides and an Alexa bag in jacquard.
While floral lace in spring-perfect shades of apricot and mint, floral-embroidered jumpers, slinky, printed jumpsuits, and feminine frilly dresses with pleated ruffle details were in keeping with the label's West London gal aesthetic, there were sharper looks, as well.
A black wool tuxedo toward the end seemed to especially catch Moss' eye, while navy-washed canvas army coats and gecko-print leather bikers also supplied some edge.
Of course, it wouldn't be a spring '13 LFW show without a dash of sparkle, and in this case, it was supplied by reptile gowns in nude and navy sequins. With "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" bringing the show to a close, that final shot of shine had us feeling like that wouldn't be such a difficult task at all.

Commercial Properties
About Jeffrey Love and JBH Properties Investments & Consulting LLC
The founder of JBH Properties Investments & Consulting LLC, Jeffrey Love is a real estate investment specialist, dealing in short sales, fix and flips and wholesaling opportunities.
Jeffrey Love came into the real estate investing field largely by chance. "I started from the bottom up," he explained. He went to school to become a loan officer and mortgage broker. He worked in the financial area of the real estate industry for about two years, in 2006 and 2007.
But this wasn't Jeffrey's only venture. "I established a landscaping company from nothing and built it up to the point where I had two full-time employees and four part-time employees. At that point, I still had a full-time job in finance and I managed the landscaping at nights and on weekends," Jeffrey explained.
He continued, "I started out with residential clients and then moved into some small commercial clients and it was around this time I encountered an investor who was buying houses, performing fix and flips. This spurred my interest in real estate investing."
A family member was also involved in the real estate industry, with numerous property holdings, totaling about 300 units. "He was doing well in real estate too, so it really piqued my interest further," Jeffrey explained.
So he finally took the plunge, working with a partner to acquire a rental property in Southport, Florida. They planned to fix up the property and maintain it as rental holding. But just when things were starting to get underway, the unthinkable occurred: "I gave my partner full access to the account. He cleaned it out and ran off with the money."
But this negative experience didn't deter Jeffrey from moving ahead in the industry. He continued working his day job in the mortgage and lending industry.
In 2007, Jeffrey attended school to become a real estate agent and it was around this time that he encountered another real estate investor who served as a mentor of sorts, helping him to get involved with wholesaling real estate. He also attended numerous training courses to learn more about the laws, techniques and strategies surrounding the real estate investing industry.
Jeffrey has been dealing in wholesaling since 2008, handling various real estate wholesaling transactions on a part-time basis.
"It was February 2015 when I got real serious about investing and wholesaling. In the period from September 2015 to December 2015, I started making some serious money and making good contacts. I earned about $30,000 in wholesaling during that period," he explained.
Jeffrey Love is now involved in fix and flips, wholesaling and short sales, both for residential properties and commercial properties.
He deals primarily with properties in Bradenton, Sarasota, Manatee County and Hillsborough County, Florida.
Jeffrey is open to purchasing distressed properties directly from property owners. He's also open to new partnerships with fellow investors who are seeking to pursue a joint venture.
If you would like to sell a property or wish to propose an investing partnership opportunity, contact Jeffrey Love by calling 800.920.6214 or stop by the contact form.

Late last year I posted my Top Geek Gals of 2011. I wanted to shine a spotlight on the wonderful ladies that fly the geek flag proudly, doing what they can to make the world just a bit geekier. But then a debate broke out on the post over whether one could be 'sexy' and 'geeky' at the same time. Some argued for and others against. And to tell the truth, this argument has been around for a while now, with some folks calling into question the 'geek cred' of those who would put a pretty face on the world of geeks and nerds.
So that got me to thinking: would geek guys get the same amount of skepticism? To put it to the test I asked some of the geekiest fellas I know to be a part of my "Hottest Geek Guys of Winter" gallery. I requested from each of them a bio spelling out what made them a geek/nerd and a photo where they put on their sexy side. I've got to say that they didn't disappoint. Whether they put on their best threads, gave their most sultry looks, or even flashed some skin, my fellow brothers-in-geekdom managed to turn up the heat!
Check out this gallery and be sure to read their bios where they lay out their 'geek credentials':

Dan Panosian: This geek was born in Cleveland, Ohio and later went to school in Melbourne, Florida. Growing up reading Conan comic books and playing Dungeons & Dragons, Dan Panosian laid the foundation for a life of geekiness. His school notebooks consisted of silly drawings and ridiculous stories of a cat that carried a samurai sword and battled ninja rats. So naturally he embarked on a career with Marvel and DC Comics.After working on Captain America, Batman, Green Lantern, The Hulk, Spiderman, Punisher and Thor, Dan's work caught the eye of the artistic teams working on the X-Men line of comic books. Soon after, Image Comics was formed and he was asked to illustrate the popular comic book Prophet. The move from Manhattan to Los Angeles introduced new emerging artistic opportunities such as storyboarding and video game design to his growing resume. Dan became the lead designer on a new video game from DreamWorks Interactive about anthropomorphic animals that embody the spirit of Kung-Fu. The original game design caught the attention of Steven Spielberg and became the springboard for the blockbuster movie, Kung-Fu Panda. Shortly after, Dan was doing the lead design work for the best selling video game, Duke Nukem. Still living in Los Angeles, Dan manages to balance a steady stream of comic book work for Marvel, DC and Image Comics with commercial art projects.

Zach Sharpe: "I'm definitely best known as being one of the best competitive pinball players on the planet…and yes, there are such things as pinball tournaments. I'm currently ranked 9th out of over 12,000 players worldwide (www.pinballrankings.com) and have been able to travel and compete in tournaments all over the world including stints in London and Sweden. While that all sounds way cooler in my head, unfortunately one can not make a living as a professional pinball player. Outside of this unique hobby, my day job is as an account manager for an integrated marketing agency in the city."How does one get into pinball? You can definitely say I was born into the hobby. My dad Roger Sharpe, has a way more entertaining life story than I do and has worked in the coin operated industry since before I was born, but his true claim to fame came in 1976. The shortened version of this spectacular, waiting to be made into a Hollywood movie tale, revolves around the battle of legalizing pinball. Most people don't know, but pinball was illegal in this country from the 1940s all the way through the mid 1970s since it was seen as a gambling device. My dad went in front of a jury and testified in New York to prove that pinball was indeed a game of skill, not luck. With some Babe Ruth-esque shot-calling on the spot in a crowded jury room, he helped prove pinball was in fact a game of skill and helped legalize pinball in all major metropolitan cities (New York, Chicago and Los Angeles)…so essentially, my dad saved pinball and I'm more than happy to admit my accomplishments so far in life pale in comparison. "Why am I so good at pinball? I honestly couldn't tell you…maybe good genes? (my brother Josh is currently ranked 5th) Regardless, I'm super competitive so if I happened to excel at stacking cups or juggling, I'm sure I would actively try being the best stack cupping juggler on the planet. It also couldn't have hurt that we grew up with pinball machines in the house as kids and I currently own 5 machines of my own…it's truly shocking that I'm single."

(SNY) Sanofi Diabetes Drug Under FDA Review
Sanofi (SNY) recently announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the marketing application of its type II diabetes candidate, lixisenatide. The company is looking to get lixisenatide approved for the treatment of adults with type II diabetes.
The company submitted the New Drug Application for lixisenatide on the basis of the GetGoal program. The program initiated in May 2008, consisted of 11 trials and enrolled more than 5,000 type II diabetes patients. Lixisenatide demonstrated a promising efficacy and tolerability profile in the trials. Sanofi had in-licensed lixisenatide from Zealand Pharma.
We remind investors that the European Commission (EC) cleared lixisenatide (brand name: Lyxumia in EU) for glycemic control in adults suffering from type II diabetes on Feb 1, 2013. The drug is expected to be launched by the end of the first quarter of 2013.
The EC approved Lyxumia in combination with oral glucose-lowering medicinal products and/or basal insulin when these, together with lifestyle management, fail to provide adequate glycemic control.
We note that Sanofi is looking to combat the generic threat confronting most of its key drugs by signing deals, making acquisitions and introducing new products. If lixisenatide is cleared in the US then it will boost Sanofi's top-line significantly since as the type II diabetes market offers significant commercial potential.
We believe that the pipeline at Sanofi must deliver to combat the generic threat. We are pleased with Sanofi's efforts to develop its pipeline. Over the past few months, several of Sanofi's candidates gained approval including the US approval of Aubagio (teriflunomide) for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) and the US and EU approval of Zaltrap (aflibercept) as a combination therapy for treatment-experienced patients suffering from metastatic colorectal cancer.
Sanofi carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the short run. Pharma companies that currently look better-positioned include Novo Nordisk (NVO), Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) and Bayer (BAYRY). All three companies carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Here is a really easy, healthy way to relieve teething pain. Coconut water (raw), as we know, is extremely beneficial to one's health. Did you know that raw coconut water has the same mineral nutrient balance as human plasma?! Yes, that means, in a bind, one would be able to intraveneously inject coconut water!
Now, not all coconut waters are alike. It's always best to get coconut water fresh, from a young coconut. I've found the cheapest, best deal on them is at your local Thai or asian market. They usually have boxes of them for pretty cheap (much cheaper than whole foods).
If you are going to use bottled coconut water, I highly recommend HARMLESS HARVEST brand. They use 100% raw coconut water that is never heated. It also tastes incredible! I really dislike the taste of Zico and Vita-CoCo….they taste like doodey.
So, a coconut is technically a fruit, but not really. Part of it is also considered a nut/seed, but also not really since it doesn't fall into the high allergen category. In fact, almost nobody is allergic to raw coconut. This makes it a great first tasting experience for baby. Coconuts are lightly sweet, and the oil is a good source of fat, perfect for their little tummies. You can give it to the baby as young as 4 months, even before they start solids. As always, put a dab of it on baby's tongue first and wait an hour or so just to make sure there is no reaction. I make these all the time, and Pearl LOVES them! She will gnaw on it till it's gone. Here's an easy way to make them. First, you gotta buy these:
Yes, that's right, they make baby popsicle molds. They sell them at Babies-r-Us, and I'm sure anywhere else that has baby stuff. You can also order them online at amazon.com
Next, you wanna get some good coconut water. Like I said, I like to use Harmless Harvest (available at whole foods and lassens. Go to their website to order some or find out where they sell locally to you)
Next, I like to water the coconut water down, since it isn't necessary to have it full strength if your baby is under 6 months (their taste buds will pick up the flavor even if it's watered down since they're so sensitive).
You can pour half water, half coconut water in each mold. Then you just freeze them. Voila! Coconut water popsicles. Also, try freezing breastmilk in the same mold! Boob-sicles!

Religious conservatives in the United States have been complaining that developments in the political arena – the Obamcare contraceptive mandate, the progress of same-sex civil marriage – threaten religious freedom. They're crying wolf, but similar alarums in the Mother Country make a bit more sense.
Because England has an established church, some of whose bishops sit in Parliament, the political question of same-sex marriage has religious reverberations that don't sound here. Meanwhile, the Church of England's surprise decision not to approve the ordination of women as bishops has caused a stir at Westminster, with Prime Minister David Cameron urging the church to "get on with it, as it were, and get with the program" and some parliamentarians suggesting that the church should lose its exemption from laws against sex discrimination.
It isn't clear that approval of same-sex marriage by Parliament would require priests of the established church to officiate at gay weddings in church, as some British conservatives fear. But the absence of a wall of separation between church and state in England has led to situations in which members of Parliament, including non-Anglicans, have made essentially religious decisions.
The most famous example came in the 1920s when the House of Commons rejected a new Book of Common Prayer that restored some elements of Catholic worship to the Anglican liturgy. (Some so-called Anglo-Catholics also opposed the book because they feared it would make it harder for them to import other "Romish" ceremonies. That odd alliance of Evangelicals and Anglo-Catholics was mirrored in the debate in the church's General Synod over female bishops.)

No one will be more excited about "Oz: the Great and Powerful" (out March 2013) than the first generation of "Wizard of Oz" lovers – girls (now moms like us) who watched Judy Garland's Dorothy land in Oz with wide-eyed wonderment and had nightmares of flying monkeys well into adolescence.
It's like the great people at Disney created another magical movie just for us! James Franco plays the Wizard, and all jokes aside… let's be real, we love him! Mila Kunis is as pretty as ever and two of our fave celeb moms, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, look amazing costumed as good and bad witches (can you guess who's who?). The movie is visually stunning and the costuming is Oscar-worthy, just look at those clothes in the trailer below – to die for!
The movie may not be out until spring, but you can start rocking the "great and powerful" look with Oz-some accessories out now.

Typically, the emergence of a two-ton great white shark near the shores of North Carolina would be a cause for alarm.
Mary Lee, the 16-foot-long, 2-ton great white shark, has become a media darling since her satellite tracking device pings showed she was cruising along the beaches of Carolinas.
A Google News search for "Mary Lee shark" turned up 735 results in 0.22 second late Thursday afternoon.
Readers and viewers along the East Coast were being treated to accounts of the shark's latest pings from news websites from Charleston, S.C., to Jacksonville, N.C.
She was tagged Sept. 17 off of Cape Cod, Mass. Since then she traveled south, usually following the Gulf Stream, as far south as Jacksonville, Fla.
Fans can follow Mary Lee's movements by visiting the Ocearch website at http://sharks-ocearch.verite.com.
Mary Lee, the 16-foot-long great white shark that's been meandering off the coast of the Southeast in recent weeks, is now off Bald Head Island.
The shark, which has attracted a cult following after being tagged off Cape Cod, Mass., in September, entered North Carolina waters around dinner time Wednesday, according to the latest tracking data on Ocearch's website.
She then meandered up the Brunswick County coast before coming very close to the Ocean Isle Beach Pier.
But possibly most interesting, the tracking data shows that Mary Lee entered the mouth of the Cape Fear River for a time Thursday morning.
So where will she go next?
Check back later and we'll let you know.
– Gareth McGrath
Typically, the emergence of a two-ton great white shark near the shores of North Carolina would be a cause for alarm.
That hasn't been the case for Mary Lee, a feisty fully-mature female great white that's created a stir online among naturalists and ocean lovers with her appearance in coastal waters along the state's southern border.
"We got a heads up a few weeks ago that a great white was in our coastal waters and I've been keeping tabs on her since then," said Paul Barrington, director of husbandry and operations at the N.C. Aquarium at Fort Fisher. "It's just a fascinating animal."
Barrington and other fans of Mary Lee have been watching the shark's journey in real-time since mid-September on the website of Ocearch, a nonprofit organization that guides research on oceans and fish. The group tagged the 16-foot shark on Sept. 17 off Cape Cod, Mass.
Each time Mary Lee breaks the surface, a signal is transmitted to a satellite, helping scientists and novice shark watchers pinpoint her location.
On Wednesday, Mary Lee's satellite tag – which should be good for about five years – placed the shark near shore along the Grand Strand of Myrtle Beach, S.C., and not far from the North Carolina state line.
She appeared to be headed back north after traveling as far south as Florida earlier this month, though scientists aren't sure why.
"This is prime temperate water that you would associate with the white sharks," Barrington said. "I'm going to make a wild prediction that she makes it up here."
Although North Carolina isn't particularly well known for great whites, the state has a healthy population of other large shark species.
"It's not unusual now to spot a great white here or there," Barrington said. "For every one that's tagged or spotted, there is likely to be a half dozen or a dozen more off the coast."
Barrington, who has studied the apex predators for nearly 40 years, said it's not uncommon for them to venture into Southern waters during the fall and winter months to feast on large migratory fish or cetaceans – marine mammals such as dolphins and whales.
"I can only speculate, but if she's hugging the coast line like she is, she could be following cetaceans or large costal fish, like red drum," Barrington said. "There are also schools of migratory fish congregating around state estuaries. Great whites tend to feed on fish with high fat content, so if she continues to migrate north, blue fin tuna or harbor seals could be food sources."
University of North Carolina Wilmington research biologist William McLellan said Mary Lee's appearance could mean area waters are healthier.
The popularity of the shark tracker could help keep them that way.
"It could be that we're rebuilding some old migratory pathways. There's something for them to feed on out there," McLellan said. "The whole other amazing part is that they've gotten the tagging system going. It's interesting for everyone to be able to see the story of one of the largest predators in the ocean."
Ocearch founder Chris Fischer and his crew – former subjects of History channel's "Shark Wranglers" – hope the story will help create awareness about the plight of the majestic animals.
Fischer and other scientists hope to understand great whites' migratory patterns and breeding habits to provide policy makers with the data to protect them, Fisher said during a telephone interview from his home in Utah on Wednesday.
Before tagging sharks in Cape Cod this fall, the crew tagged dozens of great whites off the coast of South Africa.
"The shark tracker ignites the explorer in everyone," Fischer said.
The recent popularity of the shark tracker website, which was upgraded this week to handle thousands of new visitors, shows the team is on the right track, Fischer said.
Meanwhile, scientists will continue to follow Mary Lee, a shark that typically breaks the surface multiple times per day – helping scientists understand more about her movements and patterns.
"Really our journey has just begun," Fischer said. "If Mary Lee hangs out in one given area, she could help determine what we study next."

'Justice League': Who should join Superman, Batman in Zack Snyder film?
Posted in: Movies
Warner Bros. confirmed earlier this week that "Man of Steel" filmmaker Zack Snyder will, in fact, unite the heroes of the Justice League for a feature film after his follow-up to the 2013 Superman movie arrives in theaters in 2016.
The question is, which heroes will be featured in the cast?
The collection of the World's Greatest Superheros, originally known as the Justice Society of America, made their 1940 debut in "All Star Comics" No. 3. In 1960, the group was revived under the League moniker and received its own title, featuring the classic seven-member incarnation of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter.
PHOTOS: Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" cast
Since then, the group has had more than 100 members, including one-shot inclusions and heroes with multiple alter egos.
When it comes to Snyder's upcoming film, it's a safe bet that Henry Cavill's Superman and Ben Affleck's Batman will be part of the team, as will Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, who makes her debut in the "Man of Steel" sequel, which will open May 6, 2016 (the same date staked out by Marvel for its third "Captain America" film).
Actor Ray Fisher's recent casting as Cyborg in the "Man of Steel" sequel would bring the likely "Justice League" tally up to four, leaving, of the original seven members, the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter.
With an upcoming series on the CW, it seems like the Flash is ready for his close-up, and despite "Green Lantern's" disappointing performance at the box office in 20111, plans have long been in the works for a sequel.
Earlier this year, Dwayne Johnson added to the growing rumors that he may take over for Ryan Reynolds in the Lantern corps, playing John Stewart, who subbed for Hal Jordan in the comics. Six months ago, he tweeted this photo with an accompanying hashtag asserting Green Lantern's superiority to Superman.
PHOTOS: The roles that led Ben Affleck to Batman
Online rumors suggest that the Aquaman role could go to "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa, who reportedly signed for an unnamed role in the "Man of Steel" sequel earlier this year.
Which characters do you think should be in the "Justice League" movie?
