Press Release
From: Goddard Space Flight Center
Posted: Wednesday, January 9, 2013
The public is invited to a free event in January to experience "Finding the Slippery Slope: Detecting Landslides from Space," by Dalia Kirschbaum, research physical scientist in hydrological science at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Md.
The talk is part of the Gerald Soffen Lecture Series and will be held at the Goddard Visitor Center on Wed., Jan. 9, 2013, at 7 p.m. EST (doors will open at 6:45 p.m.). The free talk is about one hour and will end with a question and answer session. Registration is requested online at: http://tinyurl.com/8uafmrl . Pre-registration will be open until Jan. 7, 2013.
In just two days in August 2010, more than 2,000 people died from an onslaught of mud and debris that inundated their villages in rural India and China. Every year landslides kill thousands of people due to intense thunderstorms, hurricanes and monsoons, yet no operational landslide prediction system exists for these hazards. This talk will explore the muddy issue of using satellite data to characterize and predict rainfall-triggered landslide hazard and risk on Earth's surface.
Through merging topography data and satellite rainfall information, this research has developed new techniques to estimate where and when landslides may happen globally. Building upon the existing Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and upcoming Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission, Kirschbaum will describe how we can link rainfall patterns we observe at the global scale to what we experience in our own back yards. With an immense database of NASA Earth science data at our fingertips, we can piece together satellite information to complete the puzzle in better understanding landslides and their impacts worldwide.
Dalia Bach Kirschbaum graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in geosciences from Princeton University in 2004. Her research interests are centered on natural hazard assessment using remotely sensed information, focusing on rainfall-triggered landslide hazard assessment and modeling. Her current research focuses on advancing empirical and physical approaches to landslide modeling and forecasting using remote sensing information. Kirschbaum also currently serves as the GPM mission applications scientist.
The Gerald Soffen lecture series is dedicated to Dr. Gerald Soffen (1926-2000) who led the science team for NASA's Viking program, was director of life sciences at NASA Headquarters, was project scientist for NASA's Earth Observing System, and created NASA Academy, NASA's premiere leadership training internship. The Viking 2 lander was posthumously named after Soffen and a crater on Mars was named "Soffen." He was best known, however, for his passion for inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers.
The Goddard Visitor Center is located off ICESat Road. Once on ICESat Road, turn left into the Visitor Center prior to the security checkpoint. Visitors are still welcome to attend without pre-registration. Attendees who have submitted pre-registration forms will have priority for seating and overflow seating may be required to accommodate all guests.

Quite aside from the 'engineering problems', the planets entire atmosphere should have collected in the bottom of the trench, leaving the surface in vacuum. Yet it is shown with atmosphere, and lush vegetation
Perhaps digging that trench was the first step in terraforming the planet (that particular planet having far too much atmosphere for humanoid survival, of course).

Hello everybody! So yesterday (Sunday) was time to workout the legs. I gotta admit that i have mixed feelings, when it comes to leg training days, i dread it since i know that I'm gonna destroy my muscles with hard training and going to be sore as hell the following 2-3 days, but on the other hand excited to lift heavy weights as my legs are my strongest body parts by far. As i have mentioned previously, i don't take any pre-workout supplements before leg training, because the pumps would be too painful and i would start cramping. I just drank 1 liter of pineapple juice before and during my workout to keep my energy level high.
I warmed my body up by doing 10 minutes on the cross trainer
After which i did some explosive stretches lightly to wake my muscles up, i usually don't do conventitional static stretches BEFORE my workouts, but i do light static stretches to the muscle I'm working in between sets and after workouts at home.
Let's get to my workout:
Leg extensions light (to warm my knees up)
2 sets of 15 reps with 50kg/110lbs
Deep squat (same as traditional squat, but i go really deep to shock my leg muscles and get more muscle fibers involved)
Set 1: 10 reps with 80kg/176lbs
Set 2: 10 reps with 90kg/198lbs
Set 3: 8 reps with 100kg/220lbs
Note. I did the reps in a slow, controlled fashion. Slower than normally, to force the muscles to work and not have any momentum helping my lift the weights up.
3 sets of 8 reps with 90kg/198lbs
Note. In order to do this exercise correctly, make sure that your knees and feet are pointing to the same direction from start to finish of the exercise, your feet should be pointing outwards slightly.
V-squat machine ( i rarely do this, just wanted a bit of a different angle to work my quads)
Set 1: 12 reps with 60kg/132lbs
Set 2: 10 reps with 75kg/165lbs
Set 3: 8 reps with 85kg/187lbs
Note. I tried to position my feet fairly down on the machine platform to target my quads more instead of my hamstrings.
Seated leg curls for hamstrings
3 sets of 12 with 50kg/110lbs
Note. I have trouble with putting up big weights with hamstring exercises, i have to work on that more. To hit the hamstrings from a different angle during this exercise, make sure your feet are pointing forwards instead of upwards, you will notice a difference and the weight will become heavier. This reduces the help you receive from your calves and relies more on the hamstrings alone.
Dumbbell deadlifts
3 sets of 10 reps with 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Note. Gotta remember to stick your butt out to keep your back straight throughout the movement and slight bend in the knees are ok, have control over the dumbbells and really feel your hamstrings stretching and working. Don't over-stretch your hamstrings as you might pull a muscle.
Seated calf raises
6 sets of 12-15 reps with increasing weight, starting from 40kg/88lbs pyramiding all the way to 70kg/154lbs.
Note. As mentioned, i do calves in a two-motion phase, i push 60% and pause for a split second then squeeze the remaining 40% of the movement. I do this to really cut my calves in two and have a noticeable peak to it. You guys should give it a try.
Last but not least abdominals:
I did weighted crunches, leg raises, some ab machines etc. I tried to go heavy on them, to develop my abdominal muscles and force them to grow. As for the last years i have done abs without weights for the most part, and like any other muscle they need resistance to grow bigger.
That's it for my workout from yesterday. Tried my newly bought HD camcorder, not sure if it's really any good, gonna try to have somebody take some clips of me to post here or gonna have to buy another one, that is better.
Remember keep training hard and stay motivated, don't slack off. Sometimes it's easy to miss practices and eat junk food since it's summer, gotta have self-discipline. Make promises to yourself that you can keep, but even if you break them, don't feel to bad about it, just make sure not to break too many promises! 🙂

26 June 2009 Chest and biceps/triceps superset workout
June 30, 2009
Hello everybody! Hope you're all doing great, enjoying your summer but still working out hard to stay in shape.
For this workout, i actually forgot my pre-workout supplement mix a home, so i had to manage with my natural energy and see how far that would take me. I was actually running pretty high on energy, since it was a noon workout, after a healthy breakfast. So i was mentally looking forward for the workout, so here goes:
Dumbbell flat bench press
Set 1: 10 reps with 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Set 2: 8 reps with 31,5kg/69lbs dumbbells
Set 3: 8 reps with 36kg/79lbs dumbbells
Set 4: 8 reps with 38,5kg//85lbs dumbbells
Incline dumbbell bench press
3 sets of 8-10 reps with 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Note. Was tired from the previous exercise, so wanted to really concentrate on the muscle and form, hence having only 26kg/57lbs dumbbells.
Incline smith machine bench press
Set 1: 10 reps with 60kg/132lbs
Set 2: 8 reps with 70kg/154lbs
Set 3: 8 reps with 75kg/165lbs
Dumbbell pullover (for the lower part of the chest)
3 sets of 10-12 reps with 23,5kg/52lbs dumbbell
Note. In this exercise it's very important to have the muscle-mind connection, meaning you have to stabilize the rest of your body and only work the chest area by concentrating your mind on that muscle being worked. Having a controlled speed is important for reaching that muscle-mind connection for maximum benefit.
To cap off my chest workout, i did a fly with cables to hit the inner chest area and get some more definition on my chest
Cable standing fly
3 sets of 8-12 reps with varying weight, heavy enough to get maximum muscular contraction but without pushing myself too hard, with this being my last chest exercise for the day.
Great, so i'm done with my chest exercises. Feeling good, had to have a 5 minute break before going through with my intense biceps and triceps superset. I do these supersets sometimes just to add variety to my workouts and also i find them to be great if you are looking to increase intensity of your workouts, have more blood flowing into your muscles and also if you happen to be short on time with a busy lifestyle. Supersets workouts don't last too long and are extremely effective. Let's get to it:
*First superset is barbell bicep curls with z-bar and lying tricep extensions with z-bar
3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, making a total of 6 sets, with no rest. Going back and forth between the two. Wow that was intense, you will see it from the video, when posted.
*Dumbbell bicep curls paired with cable tricep pushdowns.
3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise, total of 6 sets. Again with no rest. My muscles felt like they're ready to explode. Imagine if i had my usual pumping pre-workout supplement, haha maybe next time.
*Last superset pairs are dumbbell preacher curls with dumbbell tricep kickbacks to get the final touch on my biceps and triceps for more definition and brining the bicep peak out.
Did a total of 3 sets of 8-10 reps for each exercise, making a total of 6 sets. Didn't go heavy weights, i usually want to go more for definition for last exercises that i have, no matter what muscle i'm working. I wanna stay injury-free, so no need to always be pushing maximum weights, but then again you have to in the beginning, specially if you want to grow bigger and stronger. Lift big, eat big and sleep big and you shall become HUGE 🙂 Anyway that's it for the day, will be back soon with my upper back workout from sunday and my leg workout from yesterday (monday). Tune back in soon and maybe i have FINALLY posted the videos as promised so many times.
Keep training hard and smart!

25 June 2009 Shoulders and abs
June 29, 2009
Hello again everybody,
Posting my shoulder and abs workout from thursday, which i actually have videos of also, just need to get the clips from my friend who took was kind enough to take the clips with his Iphone.
I started by taking my pre-workout supplement drink, which is a mixture of two great supplements (Universal nutrition's Storm & SAN V-12), a year ago i combined these two products and although they have similarity in ingredients, i personally feel that they give me a bigger boost together than alone.
So even before getting to them gym, on my way there from the beach to the gym i was EXCITED to workout. Couldn't wait to hit the weights, what can i say the sunny weather does that to me, gives me an amazing amount of energy.
Enough talk and let's get to the workout:
Dumbbell shoulder press ( only difference, which you will see from video when posted, that i take my arms down to a 90 degree angle and not lower than that).
Set 1: 10 reps of 20kg/44lbs dumbbells
Set 2: 10 reps of 23,5kg/52lbs dumbbells
Set 3: 8 reps of 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Set 4: 8 reps of 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Standing barbell behind the neck shoulder press (picture is seated)
Set 1: 10 reps of 40kg/88lbs
Set 2: 10 reps of 45kg/99lbs
Set 3: 8 reps of 50kg/110lbs
Dumbbell lateral raises
3 sets of 10 reps with 13kg/29lbs dumbbells with very strict form and controlled motion, as to limit the movement of my upper body hence decreasing the involvement of other muscles than the shoulders.
Front dumbbell raises (with a slightly different angle, that you will see when the video is posted VERY SOON)
3 sets of 8 reps/per hand with 13kg/29lbs dumbbells
Note that with these last two exercises i'm not going for strength and power, so i try to have a weight that is heavy enough but that i would still be able to do my reps in a controlled motion, to target the shoulders specifically.
Last exercise for the shoulder was seated rear shoulder machine
3 sets of 10-12 reps with varying weights, not paying much attention to the weight, although i do try to increase it regularly to increase the intensity. I really like this exercise as the rear deltoid muscle is hard to hit, with this exercise one can easily isolate that muscle without being able to do a mistake as the machine doesn't allow too much extra movement beyond the range of motion designed for that muscle from that position. U guys should try it out, if you haven't already.
Then i moved along to abs, where i did 4 different exercises, all with weights for increased resistance or i was doing some abdominal machine. I keep changing my abdominal routine rapidly, so my muscles get attacked from all different angles. I go fairly heavy weight, did a total of 4 different exercises, 12 sets alltogether and 250 repetitions. U do that math and divide them as you wish for your program. Abs should be trained just as any other muscle, don't to countless repetitions. Try to do between 8-15 reps, that's more than enough with proper technique and enough weights to force the muscle to respond and work hard.
That was it for that workout. I still gotta post the Chest and Biceps/Triceps superset workout which i did on friday, which was amazing and intense. Aaaand i gotta post todays (Sunday 28th June 2009) Upperback, trapezius and abdominal workout, which i also have video of. Make sure to come back and check them out. Until then, keep training hard, eating clean and sleeping a lot. 🙂

Hey guys,
Couldn't wait to go to the gym and have a great workout once again and getting one more step closer to to achieving my ultimate fitness transformation, i hope you are also excited and motivate to have some goals of yours, no matter how small or big. Since we are only competing with ourselves by always trying to improve ourselves physically and otherwise in life
So let's get to the workout today i took my usual pre-workout supplement mixture (containing nitric oxide, creatine malate etc. will tell more some other time) 30 minutes before my actual workout for the day.
Started off with my usual 10 minutes of warming up by doing 5 minutes on the treadmill and then warming up my body (muscles and joints), but i don't do static stretches as it's not desired before your actual workout, only immediately after your workout or even some hours later. However i do very light stretches in between sets for that specific muscle i'm currently training.
Actual workout for the day(will add pictures to all exercises very soon and video also):
Upper back (using lifting straps to help with my grip)
Pulldown to the front with a wide grip
Set 1: 10 reps of 70kg/154lbs
Set 2: 10 reps of 75kg/165lbs
Set 3: 8 reps of 80kg/176lbs
Set 4: 8 reps of 85kg/187lbs
Seated row with a narrow grip
Set 1: 10 reps of 80kg/176lbs
Set 2: 10 reps of 90kg/198lbs
Set 3: 8 reps of 100kg/220lbs
Bent-over row with a dumbbell (one arm)
Set 1: 10 reps of 31kg/68lbs
Set 2: 10 reps of 38,5kg/85lbs
Set 3: 10 reps of 41kg/90lbs
Close grip lat pulldown with a lever machine (SOON a picture will explain it better)
3 sets of 10 reps with varying weights, didn't pay attention to weights on this one as usually at this stage of my back workout i try to go for the feel, as in the beginning i go more for strength and mass.
Some people do traps right after the back workour, i tend to leave it until after i've finished my biceps workout, so let's get to that.
Z-bar (barbell) bicep curls
Set 1: 10 reps of 30kg/66lbs
Set 2: 8 reps of 35kg/77lbs
Set 3: 8 reps of 40kg/88lbs
Set 4: 8 reps of 45kg/99lbs
Alternating dumbbell bicep curls with a twist (Bring the peak of bicep out)
Set 1: 8 reps of 18,5kg/40lbs dumbbells/per arm
Set 2: 8 reps of 18,5kg/40lbs dumbbells/per arm
Set 3: 8 reps of 18,5kg/40lbs dumbbells/per arm
Z-bar preacher curls
Set 1: 8 reps of 30kg/66lbs
Set 2: 8 reps of 30kg/66lbs
Set 3: 8 reps of 305kg/66lbs
Crucifix bicep curl on cable machine ( finish the workout out with exercise that blasts the peak of the biceps, love it!)
3 sets of 10 reps with 20kg/44lbs on each side of the cable machine weight rack
Last but not least the trapezius muscle
Dumbbell shrugs (6 reps erect posture and the last 6 reps with a slight lean to hit a different angle)
6 sets of 12 reps with 40kg/88lbs dumbbells
Oh my god, i felt so pumped at that point. My biceps were looking huge compared to normally and vascular, i feel like my pre-workout supplement and training is working. At this point, i'm happy and still VERY motivated, hope you guys are also and talk to you soon about the next training session which will be legs, calves and abs. I'll try my best to finally get some pics and video posted from the workout session.
Anyway i'm off to eating some good, healthy food and just relaxing. Visualising my body transforming and becoming a fitness muscle beast. 🙂
21 June 2009 Chest, triceps and abs workout
June 21, 2009
Hey everybody!
So today i had chest, triceps and abs to do. Before hitting the weights in the gym, i took a Universal Nutrition Storm & SAN V-12 personal mixture of mine to get my body amped and ready for a hard training session.
After not being able to go to the gym for 4 days now, i was really excited about getting to lift some weights, so i started my regular warm-up routine, which i will show to you guys sometime soon on video.
I started with chest, followed by triceps and last i did abs. Here is what i did (haven't included a few light warm-up sets):
Barbell bench press
Set 1: 10 reps 70kg/155lbs
Set 2: 10 reps 75kg/165lbs
Set 3: 8 reps 80kg/176lbs
Set 4: 8 reps 85kg/187lbs
Dumbbell bench press
Set 1: 10 reps with 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Set 2: 8 reps with 31kg/68lbs dumbbells
Set 3: 8 reps with 34kg/75lbs dumbbells
Incline dumbbell press
Set 1: 8 reps with 26kg/57lbs dumbbells
Set 2: 8 reps with 31kg/68lbs dumbbells
Smith incline bench press (very high angle to hit the top of the chest area)
Set 1: 10 reps with 60kg/132lbs
Set 2: 8 reps with 62,5kg/138lbs
Set 3: 8 reps with 65kg/143lbs
Pullover (to hit my weak lower chest area)
Set 1: 12 reps with 21kg/46lbs dumbbell
Set 2: 12 reps with 21kg/46lbs dumbbell again
To finish off my chest workout, i went to the flye machine to open my chest up and bring more definition
3 sets of 12 reps with medium weights, i was just going for the feel of it and concentrating on contracting the chest muscle, not so much about how much weight i can lift/push.
Moving along to the triceps, at this point i'm very pumped and still have plenty of energy and excitement to continue with my workout
Weighted dips
3 sets of 10reps with only 5kg/11lbs as extra weight on my waist, but hey gotta start somewhere, right?
Two arm dumbbell extension seated on bench
3 sets of 8 reps with 36kg/80lbs dumbbell
Tricep cable pushdowns (narrow grip to bring the peak of my triceps out)
4 sets of 8 reps with 60kg/132lbs
Dumbbell tricep kickbacks both hands simultaneously
3 sets of 8 reps with 10kg/22lbs dumbbells
Feeling good and pumped, damn the pre-workout drink works great, loving it!
Gotta finish strong, so i did 4 different exercises for abs. I tried to have them all weighted, since i want mass and definition on my abs, big blocks. Tried to stay withing the range of 10-15 reps doing a total of 15 sets for the abs.
That's it for todays workout, tomorrow i have upper back and biceps along with some cardiovascular/aerobic exercise. Be sure to tune back in and let me know how you're doing with your training and dieting.
PS. sorry for not having any videos today, i was training alone. But in the future i will try to include video on almost every workout with a little spice 🙂
So take care and see you later!!!

America's No. 1 denim-maker is working with the Rhode Island School of Design to teach the next generation of designers to incorporate both style and sustainability. Nada Grkinich, senior director of Levi's global footwear and accessories, and Paul Dillinger, senior director of Dockers color and concept design, will be conducting the five-week course alongside adjunct faculty members Suzanne Mancini and Jill Theirbault through RISD's Apparel Design and Textiles departments. The instructors' goal: to "circumvent the echo-chamber of the same-old design ideas, get feedback on new styles, and incorporate new thinking into real products," Dillinger says.
The workshop, the first in a "designer in residence" program with select artists and designers, isn't for would-be apparel designers only. Students from a broad range of disciplines, including interior design and graphic arts, are invited to participate.
As far as schools for recruitment go, RISD has long been on top of Levi's list. "The design process that they teach and their institutional values are very much aligned with ours," Dillinger tells Ecouterre. "The school is a leading college of art and design and is known for its talented faculty of artists and designers, the breadth of its specialized facilities, and its hands-on approach to learning."
The key message Dillinger hopes to impart is that style and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.
The key message Dillinger hopes to impart is that style and sustainability can coexist harmoniously.
The key message Dillinger hopes to impart is that style and sustainability can coexist harmoniously. That and the fact that innovation is the heart of good design. The students, he explains, will learn about the development of ideas, color, texture, and pattern in relation to the human form while exploring techniques such as fabric manipulation, stitching, and cutting.
"The most important tools for sustainable design are simplicity and knowledge," Dillinger says. "Though this class is focused on material exploration, the design students will discover the intrinsic characteristics of their fabrics. This understanding will generate intuitive design solutions that align with the natural properties of the material and a simpler, more sustainable design process will evolve."
Dillinger expects he'll have much to learn from his students, as well. "It's always good to get a fresh set of eyes on any challenge," he tells us. "The creativity and excitement that the students bring with them into the classroom is inspiring; the curiosity and courage with which they engage their assignments is an example of how designers should approach their work every day "

Marcia Thornton Jones enjoys reading more than anything else. As a teacher, her favorite part of the school day was sharing books with her students. It was that love of reading that drew her to writing. She wanted to write the same kinds of stories that she and her students enjoyed reading.
One afternoon she mentioned to the school librarian that she'd always had an interest in writing. The librarian, Debbie Dadey, shared a common desire to write stories that would encourage reading skills while promoting a true joy of reading. The next afternoon, Marcia and Debbie met while their students were at lunch and began writing.
After two years of rejections, Marcia had a really bad day. For some reason, the kids in Marcia's class wouldn't behave. "I'd have to grow ten feet tall, sprout horns, and blow smoke out my nose just to get their attention," Marcia complained. Debbie and Marcia liked that idea for a story. Together, they sat down and started writing a story about a teacher that could do just what Marcia wanted to do. That story, Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, became the first book in their best-selling series, The Adventures of the Bailey School Kids. The book was selected for the "Children's Top 100 Books" list by the National Education Association and the International Reading Association's "Children's Choice Award". The series became a Publishers Weekly best-seller.
Since then, Marcia has written more than 125 books for children including Champ, a mid-grade novel, and Jack Frost, and Leprechaum on the Loose two picture books. She was the proud recipient of the 2002 Milner Award and her book, Godzilla Ate My Homework was named for the 2000 Elementary Library Book Award (ELBA). She is listed as a top 100 author by the Educational Paperback Association. She has collaborated with Debbie Dadey on five additional series.
Besides writing, Marcia enjoys presenting at schools and conferences. As a veteran teacher, she easily relates the importance of writing to students of all ages. During her lively and entertaining school visits, students participate in the five step writing process by brainstorming ideas, developing characters, and drafting stories. Marcia also enjoys working with teachers to help develop practical classroom writing programs for their classrooms.
Marcia was born in Joliet, Illinois in 1958, but spent most of her childhood in Lexington, Kentucky. She holds degrees from the University of Kentucky and Georgetown College and has 25 years of teaching experience. Marcia continues to live in Lexington, Kentucky with her husband, Stephen, and their two cats. Her hobbies include yoga, walking, reading, playing the piano, crocheting and beading.

Microsoft has announced that Windows Phone 8 will support Alipay in China, which adds a key payment option to its mobile platform. The move could potentially boost developer revenue with the number of Windows Phone owners in the country who can purchase rising. Not to mention the the added hardware launches, marketing and further support.
With China Mobile on-board, with its 700+ million subscribers, Microsoft is looking to capitalise on any available opportunity which would help carry the current momentum along and further expand the platform in the important market. This is where Alipay will help to play a part. The service, which shares functionality similar to PayPal, has more than 800 million registered accounts.
It's noted as a key addition to payment gateways currently sported by the platform, as average smartphone owners in China likely lack internationally sourced credit cards. Alipay will enable such demographic purchase apps and games from the Store, hence the potential for developers to earn more from their work in China.
Not only has Microsoft got the task in persuading developers to build great content for its mobile platform to ensure users who own Windows Phones don't feel left out when titles are launched on competitor hardware, but the company has to prove that mechanisms are in place for said content creators to earn some dosh. Alipay is set to lend a helping hand here.
We're still eager to see how Microsoft progresses in 2013 with more Windows Phone 8 hardware pushing out, as well as the 7.8 update that's currently rolling out. The company has to focus on backend technologies to ensure that frontend experiences are as good (if not better) than the likes of Android and iOS. With BlackBerry 10 now on the scene, Microsoft has to pick up the pace to keep its head in the race against the two main players.

Researchers Find Android Security on Par With iOS
Jun 18, 2014 7:06 PM PT
The open source Android operating system long has been considered by security experts to be the mobile OS most vulnerable to security threats, but iOS is just as vulnerable, Marble Security has found.
However, the two OSes expose users to different types of threats.
The perceived greater security of iOS rests on Apple's control of app distribution rather than on any inherent superiority of the OS over Android, Marble said.
Marble analyzed the vulnerability of 12 million Android and iOS apps to 14 leading mobile security threats.
The finding is both good and bad news, Marble founder and CTO Dave Jevans told LinuxInsider.
"The good news is, more mobile devices are being managed by businesses," Jevans explained. "The bad news is, both major platforms expose corporate networks because they are designed to communicate, and users can install risky apps unknowingly."
What Else Marble Discovered
The attack surfaces of Android and iOS are not too different, and attackers have found ways to publish malicious apps, or to attack mobile users, over SMS or through compromised WiFi hotspots on both, Marble found.
Rooting Android devices is no riskier than jailbreaking iOS devices -- which Apple frowns upon and which negates device warranties.
Both Android and iOS apps routinely require risky permissions such as the right to read contacts, email messages and text messages. Once that data is uploaded to the app provider, it no longer is controlled by the mobile device -- or, in a BYOD situation, the enterprise. That represents a significant potential threat to security, Marble said.
Hackers can use jailbreak jammers to prevent mobile device management programs from detecting that a device has been rooted or jailbroken, Jevans noted.
Both Android and iOS are vulnerable to address book harvesting attacks, which allow very convincing spearphishing attacks, he said.
Diff'rent Strokes
Still, the threats users face differ between the platforms.
"Android is more vulnerable to harvesting phone call logs and SMS logs and sideloading apps," Jevans pointed out. "iOS is more vulnerable to hostile MDM configuration profiles."
Overall, the enterprise is at risk for intercepted traffic, fake app installation, sophisticated phishing, and advanced persistent threats, he continued.
It's the Wetware, not the Technology
"For years, iOS, like the Mac, got by on security via obscurity," Laura DiDio, principal at ITIC, told LinuxInsider, "but the biggest issue in security is user behavior."
A mobile security survey ITIC conducted in April found that human error is the biggest threat, she said.
"Forget about the security of the devices when you have humans sitting in public places giving their credit card numbers out loud to make purchases over the phone, or not blocking their devices when they're using them in public places because it's too much trouble," DiDio said.
Further, 35 percent of the more than 600 survey respondents said they had no idea or way of knowing if their employee-owned BYOD devices had been hacked or compromised, but 70 percent were "pretty confident" in the security of their BYOD devices, DiDio revealed.
Fun and Games May Hurt
Gaming and news apps on iOS devices present "significantly greater" security risks than other app categories, Marble discovered.
Things might get worse soon -- Facebook has begun rolling out an iPad app update that would make it a hub for game, video and content discovery.
How Enterprises Might Cope
Businesses with a BYOD policy might ban apps based on the risk they pose to the enterprise, Marble's Jevans suggested. This should be based on the app's code and how it communicates, what data it communicates, and whom it communicates that data to.
Alternatively, policies can restrict access to enterprise network resources from devices that have risky apps, Jevans mooted.
"Our survey found that most companies don't have a security policy," DiDio pointed out.
Another option: Switch to BlackBerry, which has a far more secure OS than any other vendor -- but, as Jevans said, "that's not gonna happen."

21st November 2017
Crystal Yang wonders whether 'negativity bias' is responsible for the flop of Justice League.
If I were to partake in #WCW, every Wednesday would be a tribute to Gal Gadot. I can't go as far as to say that I'm her No. 1 fan, but I can say that I'm more of a fan to her than I am to most things in my life, including Rose and even Dany.
So, how is it that I had no idea Justice League was opening this past weekend? Let me reassure you, I am its prime target audience. So much so, that as soon as I found out on Saturday night that it was out it theaters, I bought $24 tickets to go the next day.
And, it wasn't just me. Justice League is getting quite a bit of criticism for its underperformance during opening weekend. The most highly anticipated DC Comic superhero movie to date grossed $94 million, $16 million short of expectations. It grossed a lackluster $281.5 million worldwide on a budget of $300 million plus another $100 million in marketing costs: $400 million total. In short, it was a Hollywood bust.
Some are speculating that it is the fault of poor marketing leading up to the opening, and that's part of it. But the other has to do with the exponential impact of negative publicity. Within the last 90 days, 44% of news stories about Ben Affleck mentioned Justice League. To give you a baseline, about 49% of stories with Julia Roberts included Wonder and 49% of stories of Gal Gadot mentioned Justice League. So, at par.
However, here's what tipped the scale. Of all the news stories including Ben Affleck, 33% included mention of Harvey Weinstein and 21% included the mention of "assault".
A few years ago, Marc Trussler and Stuart Soroka of McGill University, conducted research on how people relate to news, inviting participants to come to the university to view news stories, and the researchers conducted eye tracking experiments while this took place. Most participants chose stories with a negative spin such as corruption and hypocrisy, rather than positive stories. This was particularly true of people interested in current affairs. Trussler and Soroka concluded this was evidence of a "negativity" bias, a desire to hear and remember bad news. (See our Critical Conditions research for more on this.)
On this basis, it could be argued that if we are to see Ben Affleck as the franchise frontman, he was never going to beat our negativity bias. Even with my massive Gal crush, 45% of stories including her and Justice League also mentioned Affleck. Which makes sense as to why I knew all about his scandal with Harvey Weinstein, and not his movie, that was predicted to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.
Gone are the days when all press is good press. And if you think otherwise, there are "at least 30 high-profile men in a variety of industries" who may disagree.

Staff writer
The parents of 6-year-old Izzy Loveless had no idea a tick bite could do such damage.
A lone star tick, noticeable by a white spot on its back, bit Izzy. The tick bite caused Izzy to develop an allergy to all red-meat.
"Izzy, her brother, and sister were down playing in a wooded area near the creek on our property between Mulvane and Derby," Izzy's mother Tara said. "That's where we think she picked up the tick."
Tara Loveless said her and husband, Chris, checked the children for ticks but missed one on Izzy.
"We found it a few days later on May 12 in her hair," she said.
The Loveless's habitually save ticks found on the kids just in case.
"A few weeks later Izzy started getting sick and vomiting," Tara Loveless said. "We thought she just had the flu. My mom, Jeanie Meirowsky from Florence, mentioned an article she had recently read in the Wichita Eagle about ticks. We started noticing that she got sick after eating red meat, like the article mentioned."
Loveless said she took Izzy, the tick, and the article to see allergist Thomas Scott, where he diagnosed Izzy with the red meat allergy.
The ticks can transfer animal proteins to humans, making them incapable of digesting red meat properly. They are making their way across the country from the east coast.
Scott told Loveless he had seen seven other cases like Izzy's this year from tick bites.
"Dr. Scott told us it's a relatively new illness," Loveless said. "So they don't have a treatment. They don't even know if it's something she'll have her whole life."
According to Brendan Kraus, veterinarian with Spur Ridge Vet Hospital, lone star ticks are common in Marion County.
"It's one of the most common ticks we see on pets brought into the hospital," he said. "They often irritate the skin and leave large red welts on animals and people they bite."
Kraus said the ticks are not as dangerous to animals as they are to humans.
"They don't seem to transfer disease to animals as much as other ticks," he said.
Izzy has to carry an epinephrine pen and Benadryl with her at all times and meanwhile no steaks or hamburgers for the family.
"My husband and I are making plans for a night out so we can have a steak," Loveless said. "We've been trying to only eat what she can have as a family. Izzy knows what she can and cannot have, and she will question you on it if you give her something she doesn't know."
According to Chris Loveless's mother, Paula Loveless of Marion, the family is coping and finding alternative foods for Izzy to eat.
"We are finding many vegetarian options in place of meat," she said. "Izzy loves cheeseburgers, we tried a veggie burger and she really liked it."
Tara Loveless said Izzy is OK with the family eating regular cheeseburgers if she has a veggie burger.
"We're coping as a family, but it's hard," she said. "We're hoping by telling our story people become aware that this can happen to anyone, and by the time you find the tick on you it's too late."
Tara Loveless said she urges people to use repellant, wear protective clothing when in wooded areas, and save ticks found."
"It sounds gross, but if we hadn't saved the tick we still might be looking for what's wrong with Izzy," she said.
Tara also said if it were not for her mother, she would have never known to take Izzy to the allergist.
Meirowsky said she is just thankful she happened to read the article.
"Without the article, Izzy could have gotten worse and worse and maybe it would have taken them a long time to figure it out," she said. "Izzy is doing really well, she loves shrimp and chicken nuggets, and the hard part is when we have family get-togethers remembering I have to fix something special for Izzy."

Why is everyone forgetting the Lapras from EP113? That was Ash's Lapras mother, IIRC. --Maxim 11:15, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Probably because Lapras's mother is not the same coloration as the game's alternate coloration standards. The game's standards have alternate-coloration Lapras as being purple.
- On the flip side of the coin, keep in mind that the episode in question, while very late in the Orange Islands arc (late enough in said arc to be part of season 3 in the dub, despite what Bulbapedia's warped standards on seasons, as well as more recent popular belief, imply; the theme song defines an arc, not a season), is still a Generation I-era episode, hence the game's alternate-coloration standards wouldn't apply to it. Hence it could technically qualify as a slight color variation, given that this IS the Orange Islands after all...
- My 2¢: Let the war room look this over and make a judgment, then allow time for it to be implemented properly. It just might turn out in your favor (I'd go ahead and say the odds favor you). --Shiningpikablu252 16:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Huh... but Pink Butterfree, Crystal Onix and others are listed. -- R

- How different did it look? I don't remember it being that much, or I'd actually remember myself. Also, Pikablu, 4Kids may have ordered the episodes together, but hey, they're the company that called this thing () an Arcanine. Repeatedly. TTEchidna 21:27, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I think this page should be protected until July 10, just out of cautiousness until it is confirmed for sure whether or not the Legendary Beasts in the Zoroark movie actually are shiny. --The Great Butler 07:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Can we at least sort the anime-exclusive colorations from the true shinies? - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 21:34, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
It's a wiki, go for it.I got there first. —darklordtrom 10:32, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
Crystal Onix's Type
Just added Lapras's mother to the list. This page show the Crystal Onix as a Rock/Ground type. While regular Onix are this type, the Crystal Onix is clearly a completely different type (like Wormadam for example), due to its immunity to Water type Attacks & weakness to Fire type attacks, and also the fact that it is not made of rock, but rather crystal or glass. Its type is clearly not Rock but since Crystal is not a type (except in the TCG) it needs be changed to the ??? type or ???/Ground.Vuvuzela2010 14:30, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think that's necessary; the only indication of type on the page is the template colors, and the ??? color is in my opinion, nasty looking. --AndyPKMN 15:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
What about the Golden sudowoodo in episode AG173? - unsigned comment from Gliscorguy54 (talk • contribs)
- Dubious. It was a normal Sudowoodo turned gold by artificial means, and then turned back. —darklordtrom 07:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
- So that Red Gyarados wasn't evolved through artificial means? How interesting. —Raptor39 01:47, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
Still I think it should be mentioned Mr.Char 00:00, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
What about the watermelon-colored Electrode in AG041? --ShadowLugiaEx 20:53, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think that one was just painted in disguise, though I may be wrong. Vuvuzela2010 21:03, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
how about the mysterious exploding watermelon at the end of movie 12, the one with Arceus in it, it appears when team Rocket picks it up after the credits.
Doesn't Kodai's Mismagius count as Alternately colored because of those long extensions on its' body?
- I've looked up Kodai's Mismagius and see no difference between it or any other Mismagius. You'll need to provide a pic or something. XVuvuzela2010X 23:37, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Aw crap you're right. Sorry I just haven't seen a Mismagius in a long time so I forgot what they look like. Mr.Char 23:55, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't we add Lisa Mitchum's Jigglypuff and Little Pink as "Non-standard alternate coloration"? Mr.Char 23:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see why not, though you should probably add that it is most likely to differ other Jigglypuff from the main anime one.. XVuvuzela2010X 23:04, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
But how do you upload images? I don't know how! Can someone please tell me how? Please? Mr.Char 23:41, 2 March 2011 (UTC) Oh, never mind I see someone already added it. Mr.Char 23:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
How about we create a separate page for the actual shinies, and leave this page to deal with the anime-exclusive alternate colored stuff? The shiny section of this page would consist of "Main article: List of Shiny Pokémon in the anime" or something like that. If this is acceptible, I could get going on this right now. - unsigned comment from Missingno. Master (talk • contribs) 23:03, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Yeah i think thats quite a good idea Kybett98 15:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Pink switch removal
I don't agree with the removal of the switch for the Pink Pokemon. Yes, the current image depicts some of the Pokemon listed, but the switch helps show the rest. And it is a much better solution than listing each Pink Pokemon individually. It works for the Valencian Pokemon, so I don't see why it can't be the same for the Pink Pokemon. XVuvuzela2010X 20:59, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Pikachu-colored Pichu?
Pikachu-colored Pichu is male, how do we know?Prinben 20:03, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's a male in the games, but it's never confirmed in the anime. Removed. Vuvuzela2010⚡ 20:12, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Baby Kangaskhan
I was not sure whether to post this but baby Kangaskhans are the color of a adult shiny Kangaskhans so do you reckon that baby Kangaskhan would be counted as shiny because so far its still classed as a Kangaskhan. Kybett98 01:22, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
- What most likely happens is that the color changes as it ages. Something like an animal shedding its skin. Ataro 01:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Yes that is a possibility but perhaps it should be added because its only a possibility Kybett98 15:09, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Employment law can be complex and confusing for both the employer and the employee. Following, are frequently asked questions concerning employment matters:
Is an employer required to give a reason for firing or laying off an employee in New York?
New York Employment Law does not require an employer to tell an employee why he or she is being fired or laid off.
Must an employer have cause to fire his or her employee?
An employee can be fired by an employer for any reason or no reason, providing it does not violate anti-discrimination laws.
Does an employee have a right to a copy of their personnel file?
Typically, unless state or local law state otherwise, an employee has no right to his or her employee file and an employer does not have to provide it.
Are employers required to provide health insurance, sick leave, or vacation pay to his or her employees?
Although many employers offer such benefits, an employer is not automatically required to provide them. However, the Affordable Healthcare Act does affect healthcare benefit requirements for larger companies with 50 employees or more.
Can an employer eliminate employee benefits?
Benefits such as vacation pay that has already been earned cannot be taken away from an employee – however, an employer can change its benefits policy going forward at any time.
Is an employer required to give severance pay to a fired employee?
Unless an employer has an established policy or practice of giving severance pay upon termination, it is not required.

Bonei Olam (Builders of the Universe) is a charity that provides financial assistance to infertile couples. It is an international charity headquartered in New York with all the fundraising gimmickry we have become accustomed to in these types of chareidi organisations. Garish brochures, hair-raising stories, hysterical calls by the 'gedoilim' accompanied by every sentimental cliché decency and common sense should have prevented them from including. Intended to tug at potential donors' heart, and purse, strings they usually induce severe bouts of nausea if not outright disgust.
The organisations tend to tell you everything there is to know about themselves except for that delicate thing called money. Generally, funds are raised to be spent immediately as we don't really do long term. Featuring a supposed orphan with mock tears crying for the bread your money will supposedly buy is far more effective than telling you how your donation might cure malaria or cancer ten years hence.Giving people fish rather than teaching them how to fish is our preferred route to salvation and even then knowing how many fish have been raised and how much is syphoned off for commission is classified information.
In this case, due to the 'sensitive' nature of infertility –I mean we chareidim don't quite do that, do we?- discreet meetings are arranged at private homes for men of means with leaflets tailored to whoever their godel happens to be. At the meeting a well laid ambush is set up with high-pressure tactics to get you to sign up for a direct debit. Those who pledged £1000 will tonight be wined and dined at a specially laid on dinner for the larger donors.
The leaflet heading is marked 'London' and the impression is that money raised locally is used for couples in this country. The footnote on the leaflet contains an exhortation not to discuss the matter in public so I shan't say anything other than ask how necessary financial assistance for infertility is in this country where we're blessed with the NHS? True, there may be a wait but with couples marrying in their teens what exactly is the hurry? Surely it's not written in the scriptures that morning sickness is part of a couple's bonding ritual during their first months while getting to know each other.
We also have a home grown charity Chana which although it carries out its work with less fanfare it is no less effective for that. It hosts public information events with professionals and also provides counselling. It is run on the whole by women though there are male support workers too and counselling is also provided in Yiddish. It relies less on the gedoilim nonsense which is a good idea as when it comes to reproduction gedoilim can be something of a turn off.
My point however is Bonei Olam's logo of a single person, which looks male though it could possibly be a female with trousers, conjuring out of thin air an entire chareidi family albeit slightly on the small side. Difficult to tell how they do it. Perhaps the gedoilim can manage even miracles unknown hitherto since the days of Joseph and Mary or maybe they provide a cloning facility. If we can have Dolly the sheep why not Tuli, or Chaim, the kid?

(WE) WASHINGTON -- The one mention of women's human rights issues during last week's presidential debate was a brief one. George W. Bush took credit for 10 million voters registered and in Afghanistan and added that "41 percent are women." And in her brief address to the Republican Party convention, First Lady Laura Bush made a point of speaking about the women of Afghanistan.
"After years of being treated as virtual prisoners in their own homes by the Taliban, the women of Afghanistan are going back to work," she said, drawing applause from the convention hall in New York City.
But as the Bush campaign woos female voters by reminding them of its attack on Taliban rule, advocates for Afghan women are putting pressure on the U.S. administration ahead of Oct. 9, when the country holds the first election since Taliban leaders were forced to flee the capital three years ago.
Although women's rights activists cheered the downfall of the Taliban regime and its cruel restrictions on Afghan women, they are increasingly critical of the Bush administration's policies and say the United States has neglected the women they take credit for liberating.
A group of experts from nongovernmental organizations -- including Amnesty International, Save the Children, Women's Edge Coalition and the Policy Council on Afghan Women -- recently charged the Bush administration with failing to deliver sufficient aid and security for Afghan women.
The experts said that "discount nation building" had stranded many women's aid groups financially and left women vulnerable in anarchic conditions, particularly outside the capital Kabul.
Malaly Volpi, from the Policy Council on Afghan Women in Washington, D.C., echoed warnings by these analysts and aid agencies about the upcoming vote.
Volpi said the elections are being held before conditions are ripe and that many women would be voting in a climate of intimidation and continued patriarchal repression. In many areas, civil servants who are trying to distribute information about voter registration face death threats.
"If a woman can't speak her mind, how can she exercise her right to vote?" Volpi said.
"The election is being pushed ahead too quickly." Concerns for Rural Women Many women in rural areas still have little or no access to health services, and Afghanistan has one of the world's highest maternity mortality rates, said Kathryn Bolles, a child-survival specialist with Save the Children.
"Deteriorating security conditions threaten the progress made to date for Afghan women and children. Most of the country outside of Kabul is largely insecure," Bolles said. "Threats of violence keep families from seeking out critical health services and children from going to school."
Although schools have re-opened for female pupils and the country's new constitution sets aside a substantial number of parliamentary seats for women, these critics said women faced severe discrimination and serious threats to their health and safety.
T. Kumar, advocacy director for Amnesty International in the Asia and Pacific region, said women continue to suffer from domestic abuse, sexual violence, deeply patriarchal attitudes, a lack of health services and discriminatory laws.
"Only 50 percent of women are going to school. Women are still raped, abused, brutalized and the entire legal system is against them," Kumar said.
Officials at the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department parried that the U.S. government has done much to improve the lives of Afghan women. Despite a reconstruction effort that faces monumental challenges in a country decimated by years of civil war, they cited an array of U.S.-funded programs, including the building of schools, teacher education, literacy training, health clinics, widows' bakeries, micro-financing for women's small businesses and courses for female journalists and filmmakers, which they said are directly affecting women's lives.
Speakers at the Sept. 22 press conference here, however, said progress has been over-stated and criticized the U.S. record on women in Afghanistan.
"While we have seen some gains, particularly in the capital Kabul, Afghan women are really not doing as well as many want to believe," said Ritu Sharma, executive director of the Washington-based Women's Edge Coalition, which seeks to promote women's issues in U.S. foreign policy.
Following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States -- backed by European allies -- launched a military assault on the Taliban regime, citing the Taliban's support and cooperation with the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
Since the fall of the Taliban, the Bush administration has deployed approximately 17,000 troops to Afghanistan and European governments in the NATO alliance have contributed 6,500 to the peacekeeping effort.
But the president of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, United Nations officials and aid organizations have warned the country desperately needs a larger peacekeeping force to counter a resurgent Taliban in the southeast and warlords elsewhere.
A State Department official, who asked not to be named, said it was misleading to imply that Kabul was the only safe area in Afghanistan. While areas in the south where the Taliban has re-emerged were dangerous, other regions were seeing improvements and progress, the official said.
"Large parts of the country are relatively secure and people are going about their daily lives," the official told Women's eNews.
Sharma, however, said the Bush administration was failing to respond to the deteriorating security situation with more peacekeeping troops while delivering paltry levels of assistance to Afghan women's organizations.
"The truth is that Afghan women are in danger of slipping into a sink-hole being created by ongoing violence and lack of funding," Sharma said.
The State Department official said that the U.S. government fully recognized the importance of bolstering security and was funding the training and arming of a new Afghan army. "That's something we're very conscious of and working on very hard," said the official.
By the spring of 2004, more than 5,000 troops in a new Afghan army had been trained and U.S. officers say a 10,000-strong force will be operational soon.
Volpi, from the Policy Council on Afghan Women, said the international peacekeeping contingent in Afghanistan was minuscule. The ratio of peacekeepers to Afghans was 1-to-600, compared to 1-to-61 in Iraq, she said.
Sharma also called on the United States to increase direct funding to Afghan women's groups.
Over the past three years, less than 3 percent of $2.5 billion in U.S. assistance to Afghanistan has been set aside for Afghan women, according to Sharma. Of the total assistance to Afghanistan in 2002 and 2003, only .02 percent -- about $200,000 -- has been allocated to Afghan women's NGOs, according to speakers at the September event.
USAID reports, however, that the United States has directed significant funding towards schools and education, funding accelerated learning initiatives for girls and prospective women teachers. USAID has also spent $2.5 million on women's resource centers that are supposed to provide a range of practical information on health and jobs for Afghan women.
