Holiday shoppers off to early start
Published: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 23, 2012 at 8:50 a.m.
In search of deals on their first helping of holiday gifts, hundreds of Sonoma County shoppers left the dinner table Thursday night to hit local stores.
They were the first wave of the projected 147 million people expected to crowd retailers nationwide through the weekend.
Many decided to take advantage of even earlier opening hours this Thanksgiving, allowing them to beat the morning rush today when stores open for Black Friday sales.
"It actually makes it more convenient just because I'm in earlier and out earlier," said Monte Rio resident Heather Gatica, 31, who was among dozens of shoppers lined up outside the Target in Santa Rosa Marketplace before the store opened at 9 p.m.
Across the city, waiting shoppers equipped themselves with chairs, blankets, tents and books. They said the promise of deep discounts on electronics, appliances and gifts for loved ones drove them queue up in the cold, only moments removed from the warmth of a holiday meal.
"Actually it's good for you. It's good to run around after you're done eating," said Seth Stenchever, 37, of Santa Rosa, who was waiting with at least 200 other Thanksgiving shoppers outside Sears in the downtown Santa Rosa Plaza.
Many had an itinerary that included multiple stops. Sears, for example, was just Stenchever's first store of the night. Down the road he planned to hit the outlet shops in Petaluma and several other chain stores opening at midnight.
On his list: holiday gifts with deals that would save his family money.
"It definitely helps," he said.
Black Friday earned its nickname because many stores are said to turn their first profit of the year, or go "into the black," on the day after Thanksgiving.
But Thursday is now the new Friday for many retailers, who have moved up their sales earlier and earlier each year, from pre-dawn starts on Friday into Thanksgiving Day proper.
Industry analysts say the trend is driven by competition among chain stores and the push to catch up with online sales, which can operate around the clock. Surveys have also shown some customers prefer the expanded late-night hours versus the early-bird sales that have been standard for years.
At the Santa Rosa Toys R Us, which opened up at 8 p.m., one hour earlier than last year, some customers pined for past years, when large chain stores kicked off their sales at dawn on Friday.
Others said the new trend offering Thanksgiving night hours was a better fit with their schedules.
"I wouldn't get up in the middle of the night to do this," Dan Weiss, 57, said as he made his way to the back of a 250-person line just before the store opened.
Inside minutes later, the aisles quickly filled with customers of different stripes. Some perused the shelves and grabbed items willy nilly, while others made a beeline for the only thing on their list.
Mason and Brittany Wagner were treating themselves to a pair of new gaming consoles, the Nintendo Wii U. The young Santa Rosa couple said it was their first time shopping on Thanksgiving night.
"You beat the crowds," Brittany Wagner, 23, said. "It seemed like a fun little adventure."
Retailers can take in an estimated 25 to 40 percent of their annual sales in the last two months of the year. Sales this holiday shopping season are forecast to rise 4.1 percent to $586 billion, according to the National Retail Federation. That is a smaller projected increase than last year's 5.6 percent sales jump.
Many shoppers said their purchases Thursday were not enabled by any larger income or greater confidence in an economic turnaround. Instead, they said, the discounts offered through holiday sales offered a chance to buy items they've long done without.
Estika Cugini, 39, was waiting Thursday to buy a dishwasher at Sears.
"Not very exciting," he said. "Four years ago, there's no way I'd be here. But money is tight right now."
Still, research suggests the action Thursday night and the shopping frenzy projected to extend through the weekend might be limited to a minority of diehard deal-searchers. A new poll by Consumer Reports, the product-testing nonprofit, shows that more than two thirds of Americans will not be hitting the stores this weekend.
Thanksgiving night shoppers conceded they had left many family members behind.
Brandon Ingerson, 27, who was first in line at Target in Santa Rosa, said his shopping plans drew what was likely a frown from his mother, who is 650 miles away in Oregon.
"She thinks that by having the stores open at 9 p.m. that people are not going to be spending time with family," he said. In his case, with most of his relatives out of state "it gave me something to do."
The late-night shopping for Donna Vanguilder, meanwhile, seemed to be getting the Santa Rosa resident out of another Thanksgiving pastime: dishes. There were a lot.
"They probably won't be done when I get home," she said.

Kluth steps down as Franklin girls hoops coach; Balistreri named interim
Ending a successful 15-year tenure quite abruptly, Franklin girls basketball coach Ron Kluth has resigned from his position.
Assistant coach Guy Balistreri has been named to lead the Sabers (6-3) on an interim basis. Franklin is hosting archrival Oak Creek tonight at 7:15 p.m.
Kluth, who has been in his position since 1995, has not had a losing season this past decade and led Franklin to state tournament berths in 1999, 2000 and 2007, including a state runner-up finish in 1999. He was also instrumental in starting up the district's youth basketball programs.
"Ron decided to step down for personal reasons," said Franklin Principal Mike Cady. "The program still has three good assistants (Balistreri, Ron Hibben and Tony Kathrens), so I think we're leaving the team in capable hands. We trust them to provide the kids with a good quality of coaching."
Cady declined to go further, saying it was a personnel matter.
Sikh Temple shooting first-responding officers to receive Congressional Badge of Bravery
Oak Creek — For their roles during the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin shooting two years ago, Lt. Brian Murphy and Officer Savan "Sam" Lenda will be presented with the Congressional Badge of Bravery during a free and open to the public ceremony on Wednesday, August 6 at the Oak Creek Community Center, 8580 S. Howell Ave.
Murphy, who is now retired, endured 15 total gunshot wounds as the first-responding officer to the scene, where an active gunman, Wade Michael Page, had killed six temple members and fired at least six rounds at women and children who were hiding in the pantry area of the temple. Lenda was the second officer to arrive at the scene. He moved toward the gunman to move Page away from Murphy—actions that may have saved Murphy's life. Lenda then fired at and injured Page, who then collapsed to the ground before eventually taking his own life.
"It is felt that the actions of both Lieutenant Murphy and Officer Lenda saved an untold number of lives," according to a statement provided by the Office of Justice Programs.
In a statement released by the City of Oak Creek, Chief of Police John Edwards said: "(Murphy) and (Lenda) are very deserving of the Congressional Badge of Bravery. Their actions on August 5, 2012 exemplify courage and bravery and should be a model for all officers to follow. I am extremely proud of not only (Murphy) and (Lenda), but all of the officers that responded on that day. They came together as a team and handled an extremely difficult situation."
The award celebration is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Video: How to navigate construction surrounding the 2014 Wisconsin State Fair
West Allis — The Interstate 94 freeway ramps and streets around the fair are open to handle the surge of traffic starting Thursday with the opening of the 11-day Wisconsin State Fair.
That's a relief to West Allis Mayor Dan Devine who said, "They told us several times that it all would be open."
Freeway ramps at 84th Street have been closed for the massive Zoo Interchange rehabilitation project, as has the crucial Kearney Avenue that takes traffic coming from the west and exiting at 84th Street into the north end of the fair. The fair extends from 84th to 76th streets.
What will not be open is the 76th Street bridge over Interstate 94, a major route from the north to the fair's 76th Street entrance and to the fair entrance on Greenfield Avenue.
Instead, fair officials recommend taking 70th Street south to Greenfield Avenue and entering at 78th Street.» Read Full Article

Fast start leads Homestead baseball team into state finals with 7-5 win
After his team's gritty 7-5 WIAA state semifinal victory over Oak Creek Friday afternoon at Kapco Park, Homestead baseball coach Ernie Millard pulled out his cell phone and pointed to a text message he received from senior pitcher Ben Garstecki at 10:22 p.m. the night before.
It read as follows:
"Hey coach, I want you to know that 100 percent, whatever you need me to do (at state) I'm ready for it."
Millard considered it a good omen and a bit of a prophecy, because after Highlander starter Jared Stieve gave up a three-run homer to the Knights' Matt Hargreaves in the third, cutting what had been a safe 6-1 lead down to a nail-biting 6-4, and then put two more runners on base, someone was needed to right the Highlanders' ship.
In walked Garstecki, who promptly gave up an RBI single to Knight outfielder Matt Hamilton, but who then proceeded to toss four-and-two-thirds scoreless innings to make sure the Homestead lead would stand up.» Read Full Article

BMX, skateboarding competition canceled Saturday in Oak Creek
Oak Creek — According to the recreation department, this Saturday's BMX and skateboarding competition has been canceled at the Oak Creek Skate Park, 1311 E. Drexel Ave., due to a lack of registrants.
This was Oak Creek's first official BMX/skateboarding competition. The event was intended for 10- to 16-year-olds and a group older than 17 years old. Competitors were not required to be Oak Creek residents.
The Skate Board Division consisted of a 90-second run on the skate park obstacles. The BMX Division would consist of a "best trick" competition, with three attempts. Steve Kaplan, one of the primary catalysts for the creation of the Oak Creek Skate Park, was scheduled to be a judge.
Oak Creek baseball team rallies big
It's like Oak Creek baseball coach Scott Holler has been saying for a long time:
The four-time state champion Knights do not play just to win a single WIAA playoff game. They play to go to state.
So the second-seeded Knights went with a trio of sophomore pitchers Friday night in a WIAA regional final against visiting Hale, and in one of the messiest, longest games anyone has ever seen, the Knights rallied from a 6-0 deficit in the second inning to beat the Huskies, 14-8, in an exhausting affair that lasted 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Umpires were uncertain if another inning could have been played, as the sun was already behind the horizon at Abendschein Park.
Holler is relieved that they didn't have to try.» Read Full Article
Search of phone leads police to suspects in South Milwaukee gun thefts
South Milwaukee police are investigating the theft of 13 guns during a home burglary in which police say one of the teen suspects took a cellphone photo of himself with one of the stolen rifles.
The victim reported his residence on Chicago Ave. in South Milwaukee was broken into on July 6 or 7. Among the items reported stolen were six rifles, six shotguns and a .32 caliber Derringer pistol, as well as two laptops, a DVD player, a TV and a camera, according to court documents.
Police were able to identify suspects in the burglary with the help of Franklin police, who were investigating an armed robbery. The victim in the robbery provided a license plate number, which Franklin detective Kevin Liermann used to identify the suspect's vehicle, a Buick Century.
Liermann then interviewed the suspect, an 18-year-old Cudahy man, who denied having any ties to the robbery, and no weapons were found in the vehicle. But court documents show a search of the suspect's iPhone revealed evidence of a connection to the South Milwaukee burglary:
■Texts showed the teen sending a message around 11 p.m. on July 6 to someone, later identified as the second burglary suspect, saying, "Want to lick the huz?" Police say the term "lick" typically means "rob." The other suspect responded by text with the burglary victim's home address, and stated, "Wear gloves."» Read Full Article
South Milwaukee registers sewage overflow into Lake Michigan tributary
South Milwaukee sanitary sewer overflowed into Oak Creek, a tributary of Lake Michigan, for about five hours last weekend after water from heavy rain leaked into residential and municipal sewers and caused excessive flows of wastewater, a city official said Tuesday.A
The excess water filled a sanitary sewer on the city's southwest side, triggering a relief pump that started pouring wastewater into the creek about 10 p.m. Saturday, South Milwaukee Wastewater Superintendent Andrew Bakalarski said. The pump near 15th Ave. and Marquette Ave. stopped about 3 a.m. Sunday after flows in the sewer dropped.
Overflows to waterways help prevent sewage backups into basements. An estimate of the overflow volume was not available Tuesday.
A rain gauge at the lakeshore sewage treatment plant on 5th Ave. recorded 3.02 inches of water in the storms, Bakalarski said. That was the most rainfall recorded in the Milwaukee area.
The downpour hit South Milwaukee around 8 p.m. Saturday, and the gauge registered 2.8 inches of rain by 10:40 p.m., he said.» Read Full Article
City delays decision on $1.2 million claim involving detective
A Milwaukee Common Council committee on Monday unanimously voted to delay a decision until September on a $1.2 million claim filed by a Franklin man injured by a Milwaukee police detective in 2006.
The five-member Judiciary and Legislation Committee discussed the case of Franklin resident Richard Betker against the City of Milwaukee as part of a closed session lasting nearly 90 minutes.
Betker and his wife sued the Milwaukee Police Department in 2008, after Gomez got a tip about illegal weapons in Betker's possession and led a SWAT team search the home. When Betker heard people in his house, he brandished a legally owned gun, thinking it would ward off intruders, and was shot in the hand and shoulder by police.
All officers were dismissed except Gomez, and a federal jury concluded in 2012 that Gomez lied on his search warrant affidavit to obtain a "no knock" warrant for Betker's home. Since Gomez is a city employee, the city could still be held responsible for the damages.
Alderman Ashanti Hamilton, the committee chair, said that committee members had "a number of different concerns" about the case, but declined to give specifics. He said that committee members would meet with Assistant City Attorney Susan Lappen, who represents Gomez, in the coming months to continue discussing the case.» Read Full Article
Tesla settles lemon lawsuit, agrees to pay Franklin man $127,000
Tesla Motors has agreed to pay a Franklin physician nearly $127,000 to settle his lemon law claim over the luxury electric sedan.Carmaker
When Robert Montgomery filed his claim in April, it was believed to be the first ever lemon law claim against Tesla, a Wall Street darling despite some early bad publicity involving celebrity customers such as George Clooney, a few battery fires and some states' challenges to the company's no-dealerships sales model.
Montgomery's attorney, self-proclaimed lemon law king Vince Megna, said the payment from Tesla covers all his client's costs, including the $94,770 price of the car and various taxes, fees, maintenance programs and options. Just under $265 was set off for the mileage Montgomery put on the car.
"My client got everything he asked for. Everything he paid in," Megna said Monday. "This is all he ever wanted since he sent out his own demand notice last November."
Megna's fee of $18,500 was included in the settlement amount.» Read Full Article

That has got to be the silliest distinction drawn in... I don't know. A large patch of spacetime. Can we just accept that a unit with the scout special could be ordered, "go check out that city, and, if no one happens to be there, attack it." Nowhere did it say scouts can't initiate combat...
I have to agree here. The question was not "Can a unit that is scouting accidentally capture a city." The question was "Can a unit that was scouting capture a city." Any attempt to make a distinction between a scout and a unit attacking a city in this context is utterly ridiculous. You may as well declare that a caster can't fight because once they enter a fight they are no longer a caster, but a unit fighting in a fight.
It isn't important? Are you sure?
What happens to the scout when the city is defended? Rules say unlead units must attack the enemy, so if you're right, the vast majority of the time, that scout must attack the walls, because he can penetrate, and die uselessly to the defenders, instead of doing his job and returning to his Warlord to report.
A scout can only report an occupied city if he can't actually get in. If he can't get to the defenders (ie. not attack), then he can leave.

These are a great style for quickly putting on to go outside and for walking the dog
As with others who have commented the sizing does need addressing. If it says 5.5 it SHOULD BE 5.5.

Really wanted these in purple but I could only get them in red. But they look lovely anyway. I love being able to push the heel down and use them as slip ons without worrying about breaking or damaging part of the shoe. Used them while on holiday in Italy and they were fab! Lots of walking and no blisters!!!! or tired achy feet. Looking into another style to wear at work...

|Wallace M. Christensen, 95
|Written by TRF Times
Stanwood, Wash. - Wallace Mervin Christensen passed away peacefully April 18, 2012 at his daughter Kathy's home in Stanwood, Wash.
A memorial service is being planned for June 22 in Stanwood, Wash.
He was born March 10, 1917 on a farm in North Township, near Thief River Falls, to Waldie and Myrtle Christensen. His mother died of meningitis in 1925, leaving Waldie to care for 10-year-old Wallace and 3-year-old Merle. His father married Milda Shefvland in 1926. They had three children: Margery, Clyde and Ivadell.
Wallace married Ruby Delphine Solmonson on June 24, 1938. They enjoyed 66 years of a loving and faithful marriage. Ruby went home to be with the Lord in July 2004. They are survived by two sons, Wesley (Esther) Christensen of Rolling Hills Estates, Calif., Ronald (Elaine) Christensen of Renton, Wash., and two daughters, Sheri (Bob) Dryden of Brainerd, and Kathy (David) Ostrander of Stanwood, Wash.; 15 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren.
Wallace was an extraordinary husband, father, grandfather and friend. He will be greatly missed.
Wallace worked with his family on the farm and the Oakland Dairy until he became a partner with his father in operating the City Dairy in Thief River Falls in 1948. The City Dairy was purchased by the Land O' Lakes Creameries in the late '50s. In 1959 Wallace accepted a position as manager of the Fluid Milk and Ice Cream Division of Land O' Lakes in Brainerd. He retired from the dairy business in the late '60s to work alongside his wife owning and operating the Dellwood Motel in Brainerd.
At the age of 16, Wallace trusted Christ as his Savior. His faith was nurtured by godly parents and their involvement in the Evangelical Free Church in Thief River Falls. The joy and love of Christ was exhibited in his life with his sweet spirit, kindness and care for others and his desire to share the Gospel. He was known for his prayer life and close walk with the Lord.
Wallace was a founding member of the Lakewood Evangelical Free Church of Baxter, a member of the Gideons, a co-founder of Steer Inc., which is a funding organization for missions and a member of various civic organizations.
Wallace enjoyed spending quality time with his family and friends. He was known for his sense of humor, laughter and positive outlook on life. His relaxation time from a very busy schedule was to go fishing with his father, family and friends. He and Ruby greatly enjoyed their lake cabin near Brainerd.
Wallace was preceeded in death by his wife Ruby, brother Merle and sister Margery.

Wheel Bearing For Porsche®
- OEM Quality Replacement
- Most Front And Rear Bearings Available
Replacement of one-piece wheel bearings found normally on the drive axles can be a painless operation. When installing the bearing into the trailing arm, apply pressure only to the outer bearing race. Next, the drive axle and hub need to be installed together to provide equal pressure on both sides of the inner bearing race. This will save you from destroying the new bearing. Our wheel bearing puller and installer will save you time and money.

NASA Looking to Lease, Give Away Giant Launch Platforms
August 26, 2013 | WMFE - Could you use a mobile rocket launcher platform dating to the Apollo program? NASA wants to lease or give away three of the huge steel platforms which held rockets and shuttles before they blasted into space.
The mobile launcher platforms are two stories tall, 160 feet long and 135 feet wide. Each weighs 8 million pounds.
NASA doesn't need the platforms anymore, after the shuttle program ended in 2011. But the space agency can't afford to refurbish or dispose of them.
Steve Parker of Kennedy Space Center says ideally NASA will lease them to a commercial company that will carry on the space agency's missions to low Earth orbit.
"And we're also interested if somebody has some other off-the-wall uses. If somebody wants to preserve it for museum use or sink it and make a reef out of it, we're interested in that information."
The solicitation is part of NASA's goal to transform Kennedy Space Center into a multi-user space port.
The space agency also plans to lease out an old shuttle launch pad and is in talks about giving up oversight of the shuttle runway.

(BPT) - Climbing the corporate ladder requires marketable skills, initiative, creativity and ... the right shoes? While the importance of proper footwear may seem obvious for professions that require standing or walking all day, such as waitressing, nursing or cooking, poor shoe choices can also trip you up in an office setting.
'At best, sore feet can be a troublesome distraction when you need to concentrate in a meeting or be at your best during a job interview,' says Dr. Matthew Garoufalis, a podiatrist and president of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA). 'At worst, severe foot injuries from poor footwear can require corrective surgery that puts you out of commission - and out of the office - for extended periods of time.'
While you may assume that some professions are more prone to injury than others, or that women wearing high heels are more at risk, everyone working nine to five should take steps to ensure they head to work every morning wearing shoes that will help - not hinder - how well they do their jobs. The APMA offers some advice for choosing work shoes:
Shoes for women
For many women, wearing dress shoes at the office means wearing high heels five days a week. When you're choosing a dress shoe for work, whether it's a high heel or flat, keep these tips in mind:
* Avoid wearing heels higher than two inches. If you choose to wear very high heels for a meeting or other work occasion, limit the time you're in them and change into a lower, more comfortable pair as soon as possible.
* Vary heel height day-to-day. Look for 'walking' pumps - also called 'comfort' or 'performance' pumps - with mid- to lower-heels. The APMA offers a list of shoes that have earned its Seal of Acceptance for promoting good foot health.
* Look for plenty of toe room. Ideally, pumps with wider, rounded or square toe boxes give your toes more room. Avoid shoes with pointy toes that squeeze digits into unnatural positions. Cramped toes can cause a host of foot woes, from bunions to ingrown toenails.
* Choose wider heels that offer more stability. Stiletto heels and similar pointy heels are less stable and may cause spinal misalignment and ankle injuries.
* Beware ballet flats. You may think no-heel shoes are better for your feet, but often that's not the case. Ballet flats offer little cushioning or support, and can also cause foot problems such as plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the tendon that connects the heel bone to the toes.
* Regardless of heel height or shoe style, look for shoes that offer adequate arch and ankle support, and plenty of cushioning.
Shoes for men
* Look for good quality oxford styles - like wing-tip or cap-toe designs - which tend to be best. You can also opt for slip-ons, dressy loafers and low dress boots.
* Avoid wearing the same pair of shoes every day. You should have at least three or four pairs of good quality professional shoes.
* When shoes become too worn to be supportive anymore, replace them. You may be tempted to hold on to that old pair of shoes you love, but apart from looking unprofessional, worn out shoes also provide less support for your feet.
Both men and women should keep a few common tips in mind when shoe shopping:
* Always shop at the end of the day when feet are at their largest.
* Choose quality materials that allow the foot to breathe.
* Look for shoes that offer good support.
* Never buy a pair of shoes that are uncomfortable, assuming you'll 'break them in.' Shoes should be comfortable right away. If they're not, then they're not the right shoes for your feet!

A Closer Look: Gastric Ulcer Formation
- By Robin Peterson, DVM
- Aug 17, 2012
An ulcer is an area of damaged and eroded tissue that leaves behind a painful divot (think of a canker sore or a bed sore). In this special report, take a "closer look" at gastric ulcers in horses, an all-too-common equine stomach condition. The leading causes for gastric ulcers are compromise of the protective stomach lining and repeated exposure of this lining to acid.
This report provides an overview of gastric ulcers in horses as well as a detailed illustration.

This is the home electrolysis wand with a smooth-rolling ball tip that removes hair without the painful pinching typically experienced with needle electrolysis. Employing the same sophisticated galvanic technology used by professionals, the wand transmits a harmless electrical current that, with regular use, destroys the germative hair cells and dermal papilla, preventing the hair from ever growing back. Within 60 days of regular 1 1/2-11-minute treatments (depending on the area), users will see a noticeable decrease in unwanted hair on the face, underarms, legs, or bikini line. An LED on the wand lights up when the roller tip contacts the skin correctly to ensure the most effective treatment. The system includes six reusable conductive gel pads that connect to the wand to treat larger areas on the face, body, and legs. Includes two AAA batteries, two interchangeable roller tips, pre-application cleansing gel, conductive gel, tweezers, and soft carrying case. 6 3/4" L x 1 1/4" diameter. (1 1/2 oz.)

By Hairless Wonder
from Pittsburgh, PA
I love this product! It saves me time and money. Normally I would use tweezers to remove hair, but I wanted a simpler way to do it. I had always consider laser hair treatments but they are way too expensive. Although, this does not work over night it is a very effective way to remove unwanted hair, PERMANENTLY!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love this item
By Penny
from Quebec, Canada
This item reminds me of radio frequency treatments I used to receive except I used to pay $70. a treatment; it was based on the same principal as this except I would have to wait until the hair grew back before going for another treatment. They could keep me going forever, I was a paying customer. I am already seeing the hair weakening and I am following the instructions given. My hair is fair so laser is not an option. My suggestion for people buying this product is simple. Be patient and it will work. I am not being paid by this company nor receiving special favors. I am a happy customer who was tired of tweezing.

November 2011 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
The second half of November has confirmed the trend seen in the previous report covering the first half of the month. The period under examination has confirmed a remarkable increase in Cyber Attacks from both a quality and quantity perspective.
Although the month has been characterized by many small attacks, several remarkable events have really made the difference.
Among the victims of the month, Finland deserves a special mention in this unenviable rank: the second half of the month has confirmed the emerging trend for this country, which suffered in this period two further breaches of huge amounts of personal data, for a global cumulative cost, computed on the whole month, around $25 million.
But Finland was not the only northern European country hit by cybercrookers (maybe the term cyberprofessionals would be more appropriate): Norwegian systems associated with the country's oil, gas and energy sectors were hit with an APT based cyber attack resulting in a loss of sensitive information including documents, drawings, user names and passwords.
But once again the crown of the most remarkable breach of the month is placed upon the head of South Korea which suffered another huge data dump affecting users of the popular MMORPG "Maple Story" affecting theoretically 13 million of users, nearly the 27% of the Korean population, for an estimated cost of the breach close to $2.8 billion.
The list of affected countries this month includes also 243,089 Nigerian users, victims of the hack of Naijaloaded, a popular forum.
Microsoft has been another victim in this November, with a phishing scam targeting Xbox Live users. Details of the scam are not clear, although each single affected user in U.K. might have lost something between £100 and £200 for a total cost of the breach assimilable to "million of Pounds".
November will make history for showing for the first time to information security professionals the dangers hidden inside the SCADA universe (and not related to Nuclear Reactors). The echo of Stuxnet and Duqu is still alive, but this month was the the turn of SCADA water pumps, that have suffered a couple of attacks (Springfield and South Houston), the first one allegedly originated from Russia and the second one from a "lonely ranger" who considered the answer from DHS concerning the first incident, too soft and not enough satisfactory. My sixth sense (and one half) tells me that we will need to get more and more used to attacks against SCADA driven facilities.
The Anonymous continued their operations against governments with a brand new occurrence of their Friday Releases, targeting a Special Agent of the CA Department and leaking something like 38,000 emails. Besides from other some sparse "small" operations, the other remarkable action performed by the Anonymous collective involved the hacking of an United Nations (old?) server, that caused personal data of some personnel to be released on the Internet.
November Special mentions are dedicated (for opposite reasons) to HP and AT&T. HP for the issue on their printers discovered by a group of Researchers of Columbia Univerity, which could allow a malicious user to remotely control (and burn) them. AT&T deserved the special mention for the attack, unsuccessful, against the 1% of its 100 million wireless accounts customer base.
In any case, counting also the "minor" attacks of the month, the chart shows a real emergency for data protection issues: schools, e-commerce sites, TVs, government sites, etc. are increasingly becoming targets. Administrators do not show the deserved attention to data protection and maybe also the users are loosing the real perception of how much important is the safeguard of their personal information and how serious the aftermaths of a compromise are.
As usual, references for each single cyber attack are reported below. Have a (nice?) read and most of alle share among your acquaintances the awareness that everyone is virtually at risk.

While most spent this Memorial Day weekend at BBQs, the beach or in the club, T.I. spent his behind bars. But he also found a way to give back. Tip, who is currently incarcerated at the Forrest City Correctional Facility in Forrest City, Arkansas, in the midst of an 11-month bid for a probation violation after an L.A. drug arrest, sponsored a bus trip for the 46 family members of 14 fellow inmates to visit the prison.
"I've been blessed to receive tons and tons of mail from my fans, family and friends, as well as get visits on a regular basis. Unfortunately some guys aren't as fortunate," T.I. said in a statement obtained by MTV News. "There are a lot of good dudes in here that haven't been able to see there loved ones in years. Their families can't afford the trip so I wanted to help out."
Family and friends who took part in the bus trip, dubbed "To See a Love One," boarded a chartered bus in Atlanta and Alabama on Saturday and visited the prison on Sunday and Monday (May 30). - MTV

Dystopia is the new "in" it seems. I've never seen so many books about dystopia in years. And they're coming from everywhere.
That TV is picking up the trend is quite right IMO. They vampirise everything so why not that kind of universe ?
I'd love to see a tv show about a "what if" world. They could use Philip K Dick novels

Why the iPhone 5 is exactly what Apple and investors need it to be
The financial markets are usually right. Not always, but usually. Today Apple stock is trading higher, following the iPhone 5 launch. It's only 2 percent higher, but it tells you that most people were quite happy with what Apple announced, from a financial perspective.
Apple already revolutionized the smartphone market. They've revolutionized a few markets in their time on this planet. First they brought us the GUI and mouse. Then they created the iPod and iTunes. Now they've brought multitouch mobile computing to the masses. Let's not debate who invented each particular item. In the end, execution is what matters. Apple is creative, smart, and executes well.
How many commentaries have you read about the iPhone 5? If you're the average tech geek, probably a bunch. Most of them focus on the same points - that it, Apple only incrementally improved its product. In a few minutes you can be swimming in a blogosphere full of disappointed tech geeks.
Here's what people need to keep in mind: Apple doesn't revolutionize the Mac product line anymore either. Sure, they drop some awesome stuff on us such as the initial Macbook Air, the unibody MacBook Pro or the latest, Retina Macbook Pro. But none of that is truly disruptive like the iPod or iPhone (and iPad) were. They're incremental improvements, and they should be expected in markets where we've either seen product maturity or product leadership. And in Apple's case - a mix of both.
OS X and the Macbook Pro line is fairly mature. Yet it still grows faster than any PC player out there, taking market share every quarter. And with so many iOS devices dropping into consumer's hands, the halo effect is even stronger now.
This demonstrates what should be an obvious point: Revolutions are rare. For Apple stock to be a strong performer they don't need a yearly revolution. They just need to avoid missing the next revolution, whenever that is.
Just look at Samsung and RIM. Samsung caught the revolution. They rely on Google for an OS, but they've gone on to become the world's largest smartphone vendor (at least for now). You'll never hear people say "revolution" and "Samsung" in the same sentence. And RIM? They were revolutionary, and they are fighting hard to come back with BlackBerry 10. But they completely missed the revolution that Apple created, and they're suffering as a result.
Apple is in great shape. People talk about Samsung having great vertical integration but that's only from a component standpoint. Apple has better integration when you include components along with apps, cloud, content and retail distribution.
We won't know what the next revolution is until it hits us in the face.
Until then, folks, enjoy the evolution.
There are 22 comments. Add yours.
I have to say, I always find your articles interesting. I/we read so much day to day on this & other blogs from a purely geeky technology point of view that, at times, it's interesting to think about them from another angle. I find your articles refreshing.
I like your comparison of the iPhone to the Mac product line where you point out that they don't revolutionize that every year. I believe that the iPhone has, for the most, part become a mature product line. We might not like or want that, but it doesn't change reality. I long for those days when the iPhone was new and fun & fresh... when jailbreaking had just been discovered. Those were the days. But our baby has grown up and matured and is still a beautiful, wonderful product.
this article is shit to be honest... Learn to be creative and then execute cause apple sure sucks
Are you saying that Apple first invented the mouse? If so, I would double-check that. The mouse remained relatively obscure until the 1984 appearance of the Macintosh 128K, which included an updated version of the original Lisa Mouse. In 1982, Microsoft decided that because no one had come up with a good way to use Microsoft Word, they would create first PC-compatible mouse. Microsoft's mouse shipped in 1983.
Apparently the part in the article that said, "Let's not debate who invented each particular item. In the end, execution is what matters. Apple is creative, smart, and executes well." -- What apple did was get things into the hands of mass consumers. Apple executed. Very well.
You can't say that Apple brought us the mouse followed by let's not debate who invented it. Apple excecuted so well in fact hat Apple owns a whole 10% of the computer market. Fantastic!
Spot on. To stay ahead of the game in this tech day and age is revolutionary itself. They don't need to change what's working. Consumers are still going to buy apple devices as long as it keeps making their life easier. Investors know apple has a niche in knowing what consumers need oppose to what they want.
If it ain't broke then don't fix it. A tweak will do.
Or the market is simply on fire because the Fed announced QE3, take your pick.
Yep, $40 billion in bond purchases isn't hurting the market.
The fact that you have written this article shows that you are on the defence from the word go.
I have no doubt that consumers will move on to other makes that will give you more for less. People are tired of the closed architecture of apple and will not be as loyal as the Mac community . By the way I have a iPhone 4 iPod and iPad 3
+1 - I agree. And about the architecture. Seriously... Windows has over 90% of the market share when it come to software. Apple will never be a huge player as MicroSoft when it comes to PC's.
Interesting comment to make that "people are tired of the closed architecture of Apple".....geeks yes, but Joe Consumer, No!
And Joe Consumer will speak loudly this weekend when sales records for the 5 will blow away anyone's expectations.
Lastly, you don't seem to be turned off by it, considering you own three Apple products. Or should I call bullshit?
My thoughts exactly. Apple introduced this version early as a defensive measure against the amazing Galaxy S3, but didn't quite make it good enough to be on par with even Ice Cream Sandwich... much less, Jelly Bean. Such an odd move for a usually very business-savvy organization. And now, your article is a defensive measure against the disappointment people are beginning to feel about this lackluster new phone. And that comment above.... "what consumers need opposed to what they want"..... huh??? lol The Recent Apps feature (not a gimmick... a very useful FEATURE), and a replaceable battery are two of the most important aspects of my Nexus. Not to mention a superior Notification Bar, App Drawer, and widgets of all shapes and sizes and functions.
Is it possible that we are expecting TOO much from AAPL. When the iphone game started they were the only show in town. Now everyone has a roadmap to innovate (courtesy Apple). Countless products exist, many better than the Iphone, MOST WORSE THAN IPHONE. This is another awesome product. However the alternatives are great too, just check out http://www.gizmotakeout.com. Disclaimer I am an Android user with a second Iphone.
Quite a few analysts (Scoble is probably the loudest, [ http://scobleizer.com/2012/07/11/mobile-3-0-arrives-how-qualcom-just-sho... ]) think the next revolution is in contextual awareness -- think what Google is trying to do with Google Now or Glasses.
I disagree with Scoble in that I don't think the iPhone "sucks" in this arena, but there is little doubt that developers (and OEMs) will try some new things over on Android first, simply because they can. Yes, pure app devs make more on iOS -- but there are classes of ideas that you cannot execute on an unjailbroken iPhone. Those ideas, not apps, are much more likely to be disruptive, and it will be interesting to see how Apple responds if/when one of these ideas catches fire on the other side of the fence.
I don't understand why some people are so disappointed that the iPhone 5 won't make toast or do the dishes for you. It's bigger and has added about the same number of features that Apple normally add with each new phone.
I own several Apple products and have flip flopped between the latest android phones and the iPhone constantly. Apple may not be the first out of the gate with the newest gimmick... Sorry... Feature, but they do it better when they finally add it.
I think they're disappointed because the iPhone 5 is missing about a half dozen major features that kick ass on other flagship devices (HD video output, NFC, expandable storage, removable batteries, interactive notifications, device-to-device transfers, apps that scale to any screen size, etc) -- not to mention the complete absence of any new or profound features like those that USED TO set the iPhone apart from the rest...
The "problem" for me is that the iPhone 5 is not ahead of the competition enough to warrant the price. Used to be that you knew it was the best (by far) and you were willing to cough up the dough to have it your hands. With this update, I'm already thinking the first guy/girl on the train with it is going to look like a douchebag for spending all that money on something that really isn't any better than the iPhone 4s the rest of us are walking around with. Apple, as a company, may not be losing its edge yet, but the iPhone is no longer the wunderbar device it once was.

The U.S. Senate race between Republican Linda McMahon and Democrat Chris Murphy ended up being one of the most expensive in the country this past November.
The combined $67,065,029 spent by the two candidates, the vast majority of it by McMahon, made the race the fourth costliest in the country, according to figures compiled by Roll Call.com.
Of that money, the two candidates raised $58,320,208 jointly and garnered another $8,744,821 from outside sources, the website says. McMahon, the multi-millionaire former head of the WWE who lives in Greenwich, used $49 million of her own money on her failed effort to capture the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Democrat Joseph Lieberman.
This was McMahon's second run for the Senate. She ran against Democrat Richard Blumenthal in 2010 and also lost that race. She has spent nearly $100 million on both campaigns combined.
The money she and Murphy spent this year on the Connecticut Senate race still pales compared to several others' in the country, Roll Call reports. The most expensive race was in neighboring Massachusetts, where Democrat Elizabeth Warren wrested the Senate seat away from incumbent Republican Scott Brown. The combined spending for that seat was $85,429,334, Roll Call states.

MarbitChow wrote:I'm not especially concerned with correctly modelling real-world warfare at all. I'm deeply concerned with making sure every unit contributes and can be fun.
I understand. But I also know from personal experience that modelling off of the real world as much as possible results in systems that are easy to balance.
The real generals spent many thousandfold the amount of time we could ever pour into this game ensuring that they had units and tactics that could counter those of the enemy. They themselves were essentially continuously balancing the system. So when in doubt, look at what the guys upon who's decisions lives actually mattered did.
Not to mention, many elements of strategy transcend the medium. Tactics (with a capitol 'T') are going to apply to the game no matter what you do to balance it. The only choice you have is which tactics apply...
Generally speaking, systems which favor combined-arms tactics have the most variety, and therefore tend to be the most fun. But currently, there is no counter for the tactic of pinning the enemy in melee with tanks while archers rain death upon them. This removes variety from the system and (more importantly) limits the capability for clever maneuvering to bring success even with an inferior force, thus lessening the fun.
MarbitChow wrote:The problem I see with forbidding shots is that you end up discouraging hand-to-hand. I want to make the melee units feel more useful, not less, and if closing for HTH means blocking your archers, they're going to stay back.
Only if your archery is more powerful than your enemy's. If it isn't, you'll be wanting to get into close quarters as fast as possible. And if it is, the enemy will be trying to do the same to you, instead.
This is a good thing. You're discouraging hand-to-hand in one situation, but you're also encouraging it in another. This encourages players to maneuver their forces cunningly, in order to take advantage of their own strengths and their enemy's weaknesses.
I don't know about you, but for me that's what makes games fun.

With that said, I honestly do like his program, and I would be really impressed with him if he were some new skater on the scene.
Sotnikova is great. Loving the program, and Xtina's wailing doesn't bother me in the least. People bitch when skaters use the same old warhorses over and over again, and they bitch when they make an original choice. Even if you dislike the music, the program itself is well constructed, the jumps look great, and she is skating with more power and authority than last year. IMO this is tons better than that dreck she skated to last year.
Loving both of Leonova's programs. Mad respect for her; she's not going anywhere. I really think the LP has potential to be really fierce. Totally rocked the side pony too.
Has Volchkova's magic worn off? Korobeynikova's LP is really quite terrible even accounting for boot and health issues. And Biryukova was just a total hot mess; the timing on the jumps was just so far off. Hopefully both can pull it together somewhat before the GP.
I don't know if I'd say Shelepen is necessarily regressing. The jump layout in her LP is kinda nuts: 3lutz-3loop, 2axel, 3loop, 2axel, 3sal-3toe, 3flip-2toe-2loop, 3lutz. That's a lot of content after the halfway point. And I kind of like the music, in a hot mess kind of way.
I'm loving Makarova's LP thus far although I really would like to see the entire program first. I'd love to see her make the Euros/Worlds team just to see the impending board meltdown. Hair looks good too.
Plushenko is a freaking legend. I really, really, really want to see him at Worlds. Program has potential.
For what it's worth, I love that Plushy's footwork seem much better than before. I think it shows that he's really into working on footwork/step sequences.
but Shershak looked in good shape at the test skates.

From in the SP to emo in the free, especially when she dies at the end Some mistakes by Max, even Tatiana's fall was his fault because she was sooooo freaking high in the air I think it through off her timing. That twist was sublime and that last lift was really good and should score well.
Now, I can't wait to see what S/S have to offer this season. Is it GP time yet? Huh, is it?
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.
Zhan Bush is scheduled to compete at Nebelhorn and Finlandia but I haven't seen any test skate videos posted of him yet - are there any?
In the roster posted in the Finlandia Trophy thread in Kiss and Cry, Julia Lipnitskaya, Zhan Bush, Bobrova/Soloviev, and the "Paradise" synchro team are the published Russian entries.

I just love Plushy´s new LP. The swan footwork is wonderful. This is going to be a masterpiece when it is finished. And of course, he rocks, as always.

Silver Medal at Aux Feminalise 2012, wines tasted only by women.
One of the things Morrell is known for is the ability to find every-day affordable Bordeaux that tastes far better than its price. We've been doing it for 65 years!..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Wow. Just as I remember it from barrel. This is really beautiful on the nose, with plum, blackberry and spice. Medium- to full-bodied, with a solid core of silky tannins and a medium-to-long finish. All in finesse. A real beauty. Delicious. In harmony..."
