Publisher No Starch Press touts Justin Seitz's new book Gray Hat Python as "the first Python book written for security analysts". Subtitled "Python Programming for Hackers and Reverse Engineers", the book explains the intricacies of using Python to assist in security analysis tasks, teaching readers how to design debuggers, create powerful fuzzers, utilize open-source libraries to automate tedious tasks, interface with security tools and more. Gray Hat Python, says No Starch, covers everything from the nuts and bolts of how to use the language for basic code and DLL injection to using Python to analyze binaries and disassemble software. More than anything, however, the book reveals how superior the Python language is when it comes to hacking, reverse engineering, malware analysis and software testing.

Black Duck Suite is a unified framework of the company's Code Center, Export and Protex enterprise products, plus SDK with Web services API that integrates with other tools and environments. Key product features include a searchable internal catalog, a customizable approval work flow and a comprehensive KnowledgeBase of open-source information.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

With so much construction underway around Seattle, one local group says it's important to try and preserve a little open space. Groundswell Northwest works with residents to convert empty lots or other pieces of land into parks or green space.
A lot of the group's work has been in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood where they say there's a lack of open space. Groundswell representative Dave Boyd says a Parks Department survey back in the 1990s showed Ballard was second only to downtown in the lack of green space, per capita.
Their current project focus is a stretch of 14th Avenue NW. They plan to turn two blocks of the road, between NW 59th and NW 61st, into a park by shifting both directions of traffic onto the west side of the road and converting the other side into a park.
The group points to spots like Kirke Park as a success story. The city purchased a former church property on 9th Avenue Northwest there several years ago and then Groundswell worked with neighbors to organize and build a park.
Boyd said designating open space is important.
"That's where the community comes together, that's where you meet your neighbors, where you have neighborhood functions community gatherings," he explained.
Boyd added that it's a good way to balance all the construction Seattle is undergoing.
"You hear people complaining about these big buildings going up and turning the streets into canyons and you really need just some breathing space," he said.

Details of how to obtain your ILL, loan periods, renewals and recalls, and what to do if an item is lost.
Journal articles are usually supplied as a photocopy sent directly to your chosen contact address. If an electronic copy has been supplied, we will email it to you. Most libraries do not lend journal parts or volumes.
Loaned items (e.g. physical books or microfilms) will be delivered to the library you chose on your ILLiad registration. Usually, you can borrow the items for use outside the library. In some cases, the material must be consulted within the Library, in a secure area. This is at the request of the lending library, and applies particularly if the material is rare or vulnerable.
If requested, we can arrange for journal articles to be supplied electronically, via the FileOpen service.
Journal articles supplied by the British Library can be delivered electronically, using the FileOpen service. You may then print one copy of the article for personal use.
These documents can be opened and read more than once, provided you access the document from the computer where it was first opened. However, any attempt to access the document on another PC will fail. Access to the document automatically expires after 30 days, even if it has not been read.
A software plug-in is required to use FileOpen. You should be able to download the plug-in to your own computer, but may require administrative rights to do this on University machines. Any upgrade to Adobe Reader may require the plug-in to be re-installed. The plug-in has already been installed on the open access computers across the University.
To register to use FileOpen, contact the Interlibrary Loans Department.
Items are generally lent for a period of 3 weeks. If material has been supplied via the British Library there is an automatic extension of 2-3 weeks, although everything is subject to immediate recall during this extension period.
Photocopies and scans provided via ILL are yours to keep.
If you would like to keep your ILL for longer than the initial loan period, please ask library staff to request a renewal.
Renewals are at the discretion of the lending library. Most lenders do not charge for renewals. However, any additional charges will be passed on to the borrower.
If you receive a recall, i.e. if you are asked to return an ILL item, please return it immediately to the Help Desk at the Library site from which you collected it.
The Library is charged for ILLs lost by our readers. We pass on that charge, plus any administration costs, to the reader.
For example, the BLDSC imposes a minimum charge of £133.95 for lost items. Other lending libraries may have a similar charging structure.

Over the years, this newspaper has covered numerous stories that held the public's attention over a period of days, even weeks.
Murders. Scandals. Floods. Manhunts. The closing of the Air Force Base. The Ice Storm. Friendly visits from the "reverend" Fred Phelps. The tragic departure of Arby's Roast Beef from Plattsburgh in the mid-'90s.
Few stories, though, have ever generated the furor and the interest of the current Great Puppy Caper.
Two dozen puppies allegedly mistreated, and then, without question, whisked away and abandoned in a variety of spots around the region.
The alleged perpetrator was soon uncovered, and the tiny canines began to reappear, alone or in pairs or in small groups. Sick, hungry, pathetic, helpless.
Ordinary citizens organized their own search parties to find any remaining survivors. Many donated to pay for the enormous veterinary bills. Dozens — who, it should be noted, could have adopted a dog at any time during the past 10 years — applied to adopt these particular dogs.
Through it all, people have continued to read — whole stories, not just the headlines this time. In fact, they keep demanding more.
There isn't anyone associated with the newspaper, from the publisher to the lowliest employee (me), who hasn't be pestered on the street or over the phone or in the checkout line at Target for some new tidbit of updated information on the condition or the whereabouts of the puppies.
People, if we find another puppy, or if we discover that a puppy is now leading a marauding band of wolves against local alpaca farmers, or if we uncover that a puppy was captured and savagely beaten by Sasquatch, we will immediately tweet it. Promise.
Some people called every day for the first week to find out if there was more information that wasn't printed in that morning's paper. Others called Speakout to rant and rave, using language too offensive for us to print, or in some cases for us to even comprehend.

Unless of course they are one of the dozen or so remaining TBAs, in which case musical touring will basically cease to exist the week of June 23. Except for that guy in the loft next to you that always plays his bass at 4 in the morning. He will still be touring the loft down the hall. Ok, seriously though, this lineup is stacked. U2 was already announced. Now we've got LCD Soundsystem, Vampire Weekend, Phoenix, Stevie Wonder, Ray Davies, Femi Kuti, Mos Def, Local Natives, The xx, Jackson Browne (!?).

What a GREAT evening......
Last night was the Spoleto Festival finale (Charleston art/music festival) that they hold annually on the lawns at Middelton Plantation (featured in the movie the Patriot). The symphony plays outdoors to a HUGE tailgate party. The lovely Wendi and I and some friends steamed about 10lbs of shrimp, fruit/veggie trays, wine/cheese and a buttload of icy cold beer. What a great time. Oh, and a neato cool fireworks show at the end.
The symphony was FANTASTIC. They played a Prokofiev suite that I actually have on vinyl (how cool is that?) and suite from Hamlet. The conductor was Alfred Newman (has scored 90 or so movies according to the program; War of the Roses, Ice Age etc etc).
It was a fantastic, fantastic time. What was really cool is that my friends who aren't so much into classical were blown away by the music. I've been listening to classical almost exclusively lately and it's just amazing how much good stuff there is out there. Then you turn on the radio and realize how much BAD stuff is being produce today.
Pics to follow.

The Fringe
At the edges and outskirts of the empires, unions, and civilized lands lies the Fringe. An endless frontier, the Fringe encompasses all manner of wild lands, jungles, mountain ranges and swamps. The inhabitants of the Fringe are spread out amongst larger cities, military forts and outposts, small villages, isolated farms and mines, and strung across the winding and unpredictable roads of the back country.
The Fringe stretches for hundreds of miles both east and west of the Nhorvingian center, squeezed between the southern seas and the Waste, broken here and there by spurs of the Landbreaker mountains and inlets from the ocean. The vast majority of the territory is unclaimed or uncivilized, with the towns and villages staying close to the coast, river valleys or major arteries of travel. The mountainous heights, the deep hills, forests, swamps and even jungles are the domains of others; some friendly, some not.
The people of the Fringe are as varied as the landscape. There are those who came from the central lands, pouring out into the frontier with a hunger for new lands and challenges. In the Fringe they have encountered both friendly and dangerous natives, hillmen, civilized and barbaric Orc tribes, nomads, goblins, enclaves of elves, and a host of other peoples. Some have struck and friendly of uneasy balance, but the Fringe is fraught with conflicts large and small, warfare and seasonal raiding.
In its relation the Nhorvingian empire, the Fringe plays a critical role. With its many major ports dotting the coast line, abundant rivers leading inland and a hunger for expansion, the frontier provides a steady stream of goods, raw resources, and new ideas back to the central lands. In return, the outcasts, outlaws, cast-out nobility, criminals, poor, and refugees of war pour out into the Fringes like a deluge over a flooding damn. Amongst the stream of those fleeing or sneaking out of the imperial lands are those chasing the promise of wealth or of a new life: treasure hunters, profiteers, skilled crafters, novice or master spell weavers, gypsies and soldiers, new-blood nobility looking to start a dynasty from their riches, and religious zealots or missionaries.

This movie is getting alot of hype. I hope it doesn't suck.
|#77 Subject: so far cast jl Posted: 11/18/2007 06:35:33
Superman: Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) is set to play the role of Superman. Porter has also been seen in Music and Lyrics, and he just completed filming the role of Racer X in the Wachowski brother's Speed Racer. Scott Porter is from Omaha, Nebraska, 29 years old, and looks about as all-American as you can get. He is a little young looking for the role of Superman, but depending on who else has been cast, that may be not be a problem.
The Flash: Adam Brody (The O.C.) has been cast as The Flash. For Justice League of America, The Flash is Wally West, the third person to take the identity of the Flash. Justice League of America supposedly begins with the funeral of Barry Allen, the Silver-Age Flash. Wally West is his nephew who gained super-speed abilities and served as Barry's sidekick - Kid Flash. After Barry's death, Wally takes over the identity of the Flash to honor his uncle and mentor. David Dobkin is signed to direct a Flashspin-off once production of Justice League of America is complete, and it is likely that Brody will carry the role over to that film.
Green Lantern: Common (Smokin' Aces) will be assuming the part of John Stewart. John Stewart is one of numerous humans who have been the bearer of the Green Lantern power ring, an artifact that allows the wearer to create anything they can imagine - so long as they have the willpower to control it. John Stewart was the Green Lantern featured in the Justice League cartoon. While Greg Berlanti is set to direct a Green Lantern film following production of Justice League of America, early rumors suggest that the feature will be about Hal Jordan, the Silver-Age Green Lantern, and not John Stewart.
Finally, it had long been rumored that Teresa Palmer (Wolf Creek) was being considered for the role of Wonder Woman. According to the rumors being released this weekend, that is no longer the case, but Palmer still has a part in the film. Palmer is set to play Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Batman's enemy, Ra's al Ghul. Ra's is the leader of a worldwide crime empire, and was featured as the villain of Batman Begins. In comics, Talia is an on-again, off-again love interest for Batman. Her loyalties to the man she loves and to her father often come into conflict. In the comics, she has also conceived a child with Batman.
|#78 Subject: I Really Don't Think Posted: 11/18/2007 10:45:06
That they did a good job casting for this movie. The guy playing Superman is too young, and Common, the rapper who's going to be playing John Stewart is just not an experienced enough actor.
|#79 Subject: Too young? Posted: 11/18/2007 12:12:39
How old do you want the actor who'll play Superman to be?
|#80 Subject: I Take That Back Posted: 11/19/2007 18:04:52
I found out that the guy that might be playing Superman is actually 30 years old.
|#81 Subject: I Don't Think We Have To Worry Posted: 11/28/2007 11:40:51
With the WGA strike going on, it might be a long time before this abomination of a movie ever comes out. So, does anyone have a favorite issue of The Justice League comic?
|#82 Subject: Favorite Posted: 11/28/2007 21:50:45
JLA #3 I think it is #3 with the white martians and at the end Batman beats one of them and leaves the message on the body saying "I Know your secret". I thought that was the best because they really should how badass Batman is.
|#83 Subject: I Always Did Posted: 11/29/2007 07:51:46
Like how they did Batman in the 80's and 90's. He was always a badass in those comics.
|#84 Subject: As a Batman fan, Posted: 11/29/2007 08:18:40
I think one of my favorite story arcs was from the '90s Morrison JLA. The arc was Tower of Babel, and it also showed Batman as a badass, but at the end, you also see the team begin to build a trust. Check it out, it's an awesome arc.
|#85 Subject: Tower of Babel Posted: 11/29/2007 13:53:33
That was one of my favorite story arcs. I liked that one because it showed how to take down the JLA and Batman was the one who came up with the methods to take them down. That just showed us how Batman is the best DC character.
|#86 Subject: I Agree With You Posted: 11/30/2007 16:55:48
Batman is definitely one of the coolest DC characters.

Superman-DJ Cotrona

suppose to be playing the Flash? Personally I think Ryan Reynolds would make a better Wally West. At least he look like he could play a superhero and he was already in a comic based movie. Anton Yelchin is way too young though, he's only 18.

Patrick Stump is about to hit the road again in support of his recent EP Truant Wave. The former Fall Out Boy frontman will kick off his summer tour on August 3rd at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota and wrap up later in the month at the HOB Parish Room in New Orleans. The singer is likely to play several songs from his forthcoming solo debut Soul Punk, along with some interesting covers such as Kanye West's "All of the Lights," which he performed in this exclusive clip from a recent performance at Schuba's in Chicago.
For another taste of Stump in solo mode, you can check out the acoustic set he recorded at the Rolling Stone office earlier this year, which includes a rather impressive rendition of Tom Waits' "Step Right Up."

The Independent
With its top scorer on the bench with foul trouble, Ashland needed leadership. The Tomcats got it from senior Logan Salow.
Salow scored 15 points in the second quarter, and a game-high 22, to lead Ashland over district rival Fairview 73-60 Saturday night at Fairview High School.
With leading scorer Dikembe Dixson on the bench with foul trouble for most of the first half, Salow said his team kept finding him open so he felt he had to deliver.
"The guys were giving me the ball in places where I could shoot," Salow said. "That was really the big key. I was the one knocking down the shots, but they were the ones who were getting me open."
Salow finished the first half 6 of 8 from the floor and a perfect 2 of 2 from 3- point range. With Dixson picking up his second foul early, Ashland coach Buddy Biggs said Salow's shooting was the key to keeping the Tomcats in the game.
"It's almost like he knew that our two big guys were on the bench, that he had to step up his game," Biggs said. "And he did and I give him credit for it. That's what a senior leader should do and he did it."
The first half saw Ashland struggle with an aggressive and athletic Fairview team that was with Ashland every step of the way.
Fairview shot over 58 percent in the first half, which helped the Eagles stay in the game despite their first-half turnovers.
They gave the ball away 19 times in the first half, but still held a 34-34 tie at the midway point of the game.
"If you told me that before the game I would have said you're crazy," Fairview coach Derek Cooksey said. "Our kids know we can play with anyone in our district on any given night and we're getting better."
Fairview had a big night from the King brothers, Elijah and Isaiah. Sophomore Isaiah King led the Eagles in scoring with 19 points, including hitting key 3-pointers in the first half to stay with the Tomcats.
Elijah King, who is now the only senior Fairview player, had 15 points, eight rebounds and five steals, including a steal and a layup to tie the game at halftime.
"Their effort every single night is very good," Cooksey said. "Elijah has become the team leader on our squad...and he did a great job on Dikembe. I thought Isaiah was great in the first half, but hats off to Ashland because they focused on him in the second half."
After Ashland (15-8) escaped with a one-point win the last time it played Fairview (10-9), Biggs said the first three quarters of Saturday's game show how scary Fairview can be.
"(Fairview) is a dangerous basketball team," Biggs said. "Those King kids our tough to guard. We went zone for a majority of the game because we were afraid we couldn't contain them off the dribble and when we were man they blew right by us."
With Ashland leading by only one heading into the fourth quarter though, Dixson finally exploded for the Tomcats.
Dixson scored 15 points in the second half and finished the game with 17. He added 10 rebounds to get his 10th double-double on the season.
After playing just over three minutes in the first half, the 6-foot-6 sophomore imposed his will on the smaller Fairview team.
"He's a mismatch problem for most high school teams," Biggs said. "He's so long and athletic and does a good job of driving the basketball. And lately he's been doing a better job of pitching forward and passing the ball. When he does that he's a dangerous player."
Nick Miller added 13 points for Ashland (15-8). The Tomcats are tied in the district with Boyd County at 4-1, with Ashland playing Rose Hill and Boyd County playing Fairview.
And along with Rose Hill, Ashland has seven games remaining before the start of postseason play. For Salow the best is still to come for his team.
"We're not where I think we can be," Salow said. "And we're not where coach thinks we can be either. All of us, we don't think we're good as we can be but we're getting there. This three-game stint we want to carry it into next week and we want three more wins."
Ashland 66
Fairview 31
After losing a hard-fought game to unbeaten Fairland earlier in the day, Ashland decided to let everyone have a shot against Fairview on Saturday night.
Haley Sue Foutch led all scorers with 15 points, while Sydney Cullop added 12.
Everyone on the Ashland (15-5) roster saw extended minutes, including eighth-grader Mykassa Robinson. The youngest Kitten scored 10 points, including two 3-pointers.
Fairview (9-10) was led by Brittany Bell who scored nine.
Ashland (66) — Gambill 7, A. Robinson 4, Foutch 15, Cullop 12, Gunter 2, Jones 4, Layne 5, M. Robinson 10, Gransberry 3, Vanover 4, Hammond. FT: 4-8. 3-PT FG: 4 (Gambill, Layne, M. Robinson 2).
Fairview (31) — McPeek 4, Mac. Humphrey 7, Adkins 1, Meeks 4, Mad. Humphrey 2, Bell 9, Bohanna 2, Reynolds 2, Mounts, Thompson, Burton, Fraley. FT: 4-10. 3-PT FG: 1 (Mac. Humphrey).

I write about women in tech and interesting tech tidbits
Lately I've been thinking a lot about what it was like for me being a geeky girl growing up and what it's like for geeky girls nowadays. It's a totally different world. Now, a geek is synonymous with anyone who has an Internet connection. When I was growing up being a geek wasn't something you wanted advertised but you felt pride in knowing that you were really good at something or were a subject matter expert on something obscure. I spent hours every night listening to Henry Rollins spoken word tapes when most people thought he was just in a band, I knew all the names of the Transformers characters and their backstories, I received all of my Girl Guides badges and I played every Sierra Online Quest game at least twice. I was not cool, I was a geek.
Back before computers, the term 'geek' was originally described as a freak that performed in circus acts and carnivals. The term morphed over time and in the 90′s was used interchangeably with 'nerd' to describe socially-inept computer programmers. Today the word is the exact opposite of its original meaning; a term once used to inflict social cruelty is now a term of endearment, everyone and their dog self-proclaims themselves as a geek in whatever passing interest they have. The definition of 'geek' is so broad now that it is meaningless.
I thought being called a geek meant you liked something so much that you were willing to forgo social outings and popularity. That still seems to be the case, but the once coveted term is now being used as a marketing gimmick, and those who truly deserve the label are lost in the noise..
Pretentious females who have labeled themselves as a "geek girl" figured out that guys will pay a lot of attention to them if they proclaim they are reading comics or playing video games. Celebrities are dressing up as geeks to reach a larger audience. Richard Branson labeled himself a geek for crying out loud.
How do we separate the geeks from the muck?
Chris Lawrence who works with teens at The Hive NYC tweeted, 'I think geek speaks to deep interest or specialized skill…'
The venn diagram made by Matthew Mason depicts geek as the intersection between intelligence and obsession.
As someone who is married to an obsessive deep-diver, those definitions ring true. My husband Sean Bonner is a coffee geek, an art geek, a meme geek, and a punk-rock geek. He is super passionate and obsessive about the things that he is interested in. He has been that way his entire life and it's unreal watching him get hooked on something new and watching his knowledge about it grow each and every day non-stop. It's also why he has such a strong following: people count on him to share his deep knowledge on their favorite subject-matter. He does all the heavy lifting and they get the CliffsNotes.
Patton Oswalt's piece on Wired Wake Up, Geek Culture. Time To Die is a geek's dream reference to everything that once was. Oswalt references the Japanese term 'otaku,' a subject my friend Mimi Ito researches quite extensively and even wrote a book about Fandom Unbound: Otaku Culture in a Connected World. Otaku refers to people with obsessive interests in pretty much anything. Oswalt suggests that the Internet has not only made it easy to become an expert or otaku in something instantly, but because it's so easy, it's creating 'weak otakus.'
Maybe it's just something that Generation X'ers lament about, as many of us old-timers believe that when it was harder to learn about something and you did it anyway, when no one else was building that computer in the basement but you persevered, that's when your passions really shined through. That's what being a geek is. Now if someone sticks a video game into their XBOX 360 console, they self-label themselves a 'gamer.'
Oswalt believes that we need to over-saturate the geek culture to the point where it explodes and we are back to ground zero. I don't think we need to go to such drastic measures; we just need to expose the posers for who they are and shine the light much more brightly on those that are the real deal.
Mimi's 13 year old daughter, Luna, was featured on the popular culture blog boingboing about her ability to sew and how although her friends think it's cool that she makes them gifts, they call her 'grandma' for taking classes on a Saturday. I've spoken to Luna about her sewing projects and even got some tips from her about how to make a Christmas stocking for my husband, so I know firsthand how talented she is. The thing that strikes me the most is how humble and casual she is about her skills. It made me think about a few online personalities who would have taken 10 pictures of themselves threading the needle and making their first stitch in order to get a bunch of likes on Instagram. Those same people would not be taking classes on a Saturday to improve their sewing skills.
Oh, wow, I was an accomplished seamstress by the time I was 16, meaning I had been sewing a good number of years. Funny how sewing used to be a skill that every young lady needed to have. I don't think anyone would have called me a geek for sewing.
Now, reading Scientific American at that age….that is what would have labeled me a geek.
Fantastic article! It seems like today true geeks can't even defend themselves. If we attest that we liked something "before it was cool" then we are hipsters. Very frustrating. All I know is I definitely wasn't cool when everybody was making fun of me for toting flats of books around in school. Geeks unite!
Wait, you declare, "Geeks unite," when you support this attack on people who decide they're geeks even if they don't live up to someone else's standard for what a geek is?
"True geeks"? Elitist much? You're just as ridiculous as the author of this preposterous article. Her cries for attention while disparaging attention-seeking behavior are laughable. While she was learning the names of robots from twenty-minute toy commercials as a kid in the '80s, adult women were already building STAR WARS collections, dressing like Star Trek characters, and attending Comic-Con in San Diego. Other women pursued "geeky" interests before them. Screaming, "I was doing this before anyone else thought it was cool," is absurd and pretentious. The world doesn't need geek hipsters, and none of you were doing it first, anyway.
People who can't just enjoy what they enjoy without trying to impress others with their hobbies and obsessions are pathetic.
I agree with Katrina, Geek culture should be communal and welcoming, not competitive and elitist. Everyone is a geek about something.
I agree with Katrina, Geek culture should be communal and welcoming, not competitive and elitist. Everyone is a geek about something….
Computer-geek culture was pretty communal and welcoming, at least from the 70′s to the early 2000′s. As with any community, the meaning of the community, along with the associated friendliness, gets diluted with volume.
Competitiveness is fine if it's context. If you're a geek because you're good at something, rather than just because you're interested in something, then that can and should mean something positive.
Elitism is a touchy subject – the "geek community" was party defined by people who were discriminated against because they were smart and misunderstood.
Geek or no geek, if someone makes an intelligent point, and it gets drowned out by the noise of many other people trying to sound smart, it would upset just about anyone.
Otherwise, yes, everyone can be a geek about something, and society (not just geek society) should be all-inclusive.
I agree with this. I see this more and more every day, how being a 'geek' is now some elitist society, that welcomes no one, and hates any newcomer.
"You haven't read comics since you were able to read?! THEN YOU'RE NOT WELCOME!"
It's a joke. Any TRUE geek would welcome and nurture a newcomer, and point them in the direction for the most fun.
That's the problem. It's not a culture, it's just normal people with particular obsessions and hobbies. Socially paranoid females seem to think that gamers and geeks do the things that they enjoy doing because they want to stand out or be different. They just do it because it's fun! They aren't concerned with image or how it may affect their social life. When a woman needs an imperfection to make her seem different and quirky they turn to something nerdy because they think it too gives them a sense of detachment and freedom, but they are reviled because their intentions are exactly the opposite. They may "enjoy" things like video games, but the core of their ambition is to be more socially appealing. They use the things that nerds care about the most, pretend to be one of us, but the entire time are only interested in improving their appearance. If you had actually read the article you'd understand that.
Calling yourself something doesn't make you it. Real geeks unite against those who think it is now trendy despite these poser geeks being the ones who just a few years ago would have been using the term to insult those who are actually geeks. You always had to prove your cred in whatever you were into, if your a comic book geek and you cant tell where comic con is going on to be this year or you cant rattle off the top of your head the entire history of every title you collect, or if you don't collect than your not a geek and calling yourself one is an insult to people who can.
Thank god someone finally posted this
Kudos to you for putting to words an opinion I have held since my days in Uni. Many a time I would interact with a self proclaimed "geek", only to find their interests were barely even casual.
My problem with the issue is that, when you label someone as casual or try and demonstrate to them that they aren't really a geek, then you often come off as an asshole. I have long since stopped calling people out for their self proclaimed geek hood, because of the ramifications for doing so.
Do you think there is a way to separate geeks and casual enthusiasts that doesn't make the "true Geek" seem like an entitled and whining asshat?
My second grievance with the issue, is that when people label themselves as Geeks for these hobbies (Gaming, Star Wars, Star Trek, Computers, etc) it begs the question of what the original geeks have become. How do you label yourself when you clearly are more interested in a subject then a geek? Do you have to descent into the depths of more extreme, and often derogatory statements, in order to emphasize your focus in a particular area? It is a baffling issue.
@John DeCosta, that's because trying to demonstrate to someone they aren't really a geek is pretty much an asshole move. Social Elitism by any other name still smells as rank.
Why are we so concerned with putting people in neatly labelled boxes anyway? If someone wants to call themselves a geek more power to them. Why would you not try and welcome them to the fold rather than excluding them? It doesn't diminish you in anyway.
It's in mankinds nature to want to make predictions, we're very obsessed about the future. Generalizations may seem like they help us make accurate predictions to some. In this day and age you (as in most people) want to know what the other person is like before you meet them. Personally I lie to myself enough to think and act like I don't care what ethnicity you're from. Like your interests don't matter.
My mom was a prime example of how this works in practice during her youth. She felt like if she didn't find someone during collage she might not find somebody at all. So she went to lots of parties and as I see it (from her stories) she judged people quite wildly on most things. She's against drinking so every person that seemed a little tipsy on a party were quickly dismissed, she started most conversations right away with what education she was taking, so she could see if they had similar interests.
Unsurprisingly she married the classmate who was also the bar-keep during many of these parties. They fit well, he's the more practical type and she's very obsessed with planning and structure.
It's all in an effort to not waste time I think. I don't think getting to know anyone is a waste of time.
People *should* do what they love. The problem is not everyone knows what that is yet. Some people don't know who they are yet. Some people never will, and that makes me sad.
For instance, I've known since I was young adult what my passions are (and I have many, does that mean I can't be obsessed or passionate because I'm spreading it among many things in what little spare time I have when I'm not working a full time job? Does that classify me as a casual hobbyist?) but my older brother has gone through several phases of identity exploration – prep, jock, thug, punk and yes even geek.
The internet is full of men and women in all things who want attention. Everyone who uses a social network wants attention in a way. There are some people who are more desperate for attention than others because they feel they need to validate themselves through others. They are easy to spot and it has nothing to do with what term they use.
I choose not to call them out and berate them or act as if their presence somehow cheapens my loves or passions because I do not know them personally. It's not my place to tell them what they love and don't love. It's not my place to deny them the possibility of learning about something they might grow to love. Something that might help them find who they are.
Lucky for me, I'm normally in situations where the geeks can show their intelligence and the fake geeks show their inabilities. So I call them out on idiocy instead of misplaced fandom.
….And then go to sites like this and complain about it.
Also the original geeks were religious people. The way I've always split it up is that geeks are socially functional, while nerds are so deeply engrossed in a subject that they are unable to function normally within the bounds of society.
We just can't judge the motivations, desires, or intentions of other people. Period. I know I have misjudged the actions of others as "cries for attention" out of stone cold insecurity on my part.
The writer of this article comes across as a Geek Super Villain… in the end we learn she is very similar to the girls she discriminates against.
Your geek hipster attitude is the biggest plea for attention I've seen in quite some time. Maybe you should focus on doing what *you* love instead of worrying so much about what everyone else is doing.
i met my lover in a collage while taking an education. it was a magazine-clip collage and i took that education good.

Safari Books Online is a digital library providing on-demand subscription access to thousands of learning resources.
Claims-based identity means to control the digital experience and to use digital resources based on things that are said by one party about another. A party can be a person, organization, government, Web site, Web service, or even a device. The very simplest example of a claim is something that a party says about itself. Claims-based identity has been possible for quite a while, but there are now tools available that make it much easier for developers of Windows-based applications to implement it. These tools include the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) and Microsoft Active Directory® Federation Services (ADFS) v2. This book shows you when and how to use these tools in the context of some commonly occurring scenarios.

This class explores the allocation of war-making and other national-security powers among Congress, the President, and the courts. Students will examine the government's surveillance of national-security threats (as under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the National Security Agency's warrantless Terrorist Surveillance Program), policies for protecting sensitive information from public disclosure (as with the use of "secret evidence" in cases against suspected terrorists), and the standards under which captured enemy combatants are detained, interrogated, and prosecuted (as at Guantanamo Bay and before military commissions). Students will consider legal limits on the government's war-making powers, such as those found in the Constitution and international law.

What Is NFL Sunday Ticket? - NFL Sunday Ticket is a service that lets you watch every Sunday afternoon NFL game (except for your local teams presumably on your broadcast TV station) for the full 17-week NFL regular season (Sunday night, Monday night, Thursday night games not included, and the playoffs are aired on broadcast TV so no need for a subscription for that). Obviously, this lets you watch just about any and every game you want so you aren't at the mercy of regional programming (I live in the Pacific Northwest, so the only games I ever get to see are Denver, Seattle, and San Francisco, which sucks since I'm a Minnesota Vikings fan). NFL Sunday Ticket also has the Red Zone Channel, which switches back and forth between all of the games to show every play inside the 20-yard line.
What is the Madden NFL 25 Anniversary Edition? - The Anniversary Edition of Madden NFL 25 is an Amazon exclusive and retails for $100 on both PS3 and Xbox 360. This package gets you the game, a 17-week subscription to Madden Ultimate Team packs (17 free packs of extra cards for you Ultimate Team fanatics), and a code that gives you access to NFL Sunday Ticket on PC, tablets, or mobile (in the U.S. only, sorry Canada). The Anniversary Edition is going to be limited to 100,000 copies, so if you want this deal I suggest you pre-order now.
Is There A Catch? - You do not need a Direct TV subscription to use this. The code you get gives you access to watch NFL Sunday Ticket on PC, tablets, or mobile. No TV, or subscription, or anything else required. In fact, the offer doesn't actually even require an Xbox 360 or PS3. You could theoretically buy the Anniversary Edition of Madden 25 just for the NFL Sunday Ticket code, and then re-sell the game to make some of your money back while getting to watch football all season long for dirt cheap compared to the normally several-hundred-dollar Sunday Ticket price tag. There is no catch. You aren't signing up for anything extra. There won't be any extra fees.
If you do want to subscribe to Direct TV, the Anniversary Edition also comes with a coupon code for $10 off every month for your first year of service as well as NFL Sunday Ticket Max so you can watch on your TV instead of a PC.
It should be noted that if you already have Direct TV and NFL Sunday Ticket, the Anniversary Edition isn't much of a deal, so you can go ahead and just buy the standard $60 version of Madden 25 instead.
Also, obviously, the Xbox One version of Madden 25 won't offer this deal since it won't come out until the season is more than half over sometime in November.
We'll have a review of Madden 25 later in August, but check our Madden NFL 13 review or this year's NCAA Football 14 for an idea on how the game should turn out.

Have you tried taking a bath (not shower) before going to bed?
Relaxation techniques?
The most important thing is to not worry about not getting sleep.
Have you tried taking a bath (not shower) before going to bed?
Relaxation techniques?
The most important thing is to not worry about not getting sleep.
Ugh, I used to be the best sleeper, but starting this summer, I keep waking up in the middle of the night. Usually, I'm just hot, so I toss and turn and eventually fall asleep, but because I can't sleep uninterrupted of for at least six hours (eight would be a total fantasy), I'm constantly tired. I don't have any problem falling asleep, just staying asleep. Any suggestions?
"I miss footwork that has any kind of a discernible pattern. The goal of a step sequence should not be for a skater to show the same ice coverage as a Zamboni and take about as much time as an ice resurface. " ~ Zemgirl, reflecting on a pre-IJS straight line sequence
I had huge trouble sleeping when I was in the middle of a depression. I wasn't able to really sleep for nearly 6 months.
Different things helped then:
If it was really dire I took a sleeping pill. I share your aversion to sleeping pills (or at least I did - I had to be dragged to the doctor to let me prescribe sleeping pills!) but they were a godsend. I only took one every other week when I felt that I really needed a good night's sleep for the next day and the relief of actually sleeping for 6-8straight hours is beyond anything.
Relaxing techniques also helped. I have some mp3 tracks of relaxing texts where you hear someone telling you which muscles to relax or to find a calm peaceful place etc.
Again this was something I would have scorned only a few years before that episode but it helped me quite a bit.
Stretching right before going to bed also helped me. Maybe it is the focussed mind on the stretching that calmed the brain down. Exercise right before bed isn't really helping though. Let at least 2-3 hours pass after exercise before you go to bed if you have trouble sleeping.
best of luck and really sleeping pills - if used rightly - can make all the difference!
Hard. Very hard.
But apparently, after a few days of doing that, your body recognizes that you will get up once you wake up and will then take the necessary amount of sleep.
It is a drastic treatment and I don't know if I would be able to do it but from what I heard it is very very effective...
^ sleep disorder workers recommend this.
A couple days of sleep deprivation and you will fall asleep.
One thing I found out is it isn't the REM sleep you want but stage 3 & 4 that are the most rejuvenating. I remember I read somewhere that the average REM cycle is about 4 hours so that was where I thought we had to get 8 hours of sleep so we had 2 full REM cycles but that isn't the case at all. The first 4-5 hours is our most restful sleep, and after that we bounce between level 1-3, but more of 1 & 2.
I always wondered why I would bounce out of bed after 5 hours and be good to go for the day and other days when I was in bed longer I would drag more sorry butt out of bed. Too much REM sleep is bad... there is a connection between too much REM and depression.
~I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.~ (Charles R. Swindoll)
This might sound odd but how old is your mattress? Mine is getting up there and I find that if it is not turned regularly, I cannot sleep on it. Sometimes I just turn 180 degrees so my head is at the foot of the bed and I go right to sleep. Weird but it works for me.
Better last night, though I was awake from about 11:30-2. Thanks for all the tips. I tried writing down my thoughts and some cereal.
At least for me, this comes and goes. I should be better soon. I'd just like to stay better.
ETA: Think I might try acupuncture.
As nutty as this sounds, I recite all 50 states and their capitals when I'm awake. And it mostly seems to work.

NEWPORT NEWS—Rhonda Stubbs was 6 when someone killed her big sister and left her body in an empty field.
Now 25, she is still waiting for the person who killed Turisha L. Grant to be brought to justice.
"I understand it took a long time because of the DNA, but it should not have taken 20 years for them to open up the case again."
Grant's body was discovered Feb. 2, 1990, by a man walking in an empty field located at the dead end of East Lewis Road. Grant lived less than a mile away on Granger Drive.
Police believed she was killed in her home and then dumped in the field.
The night before she was found, Grant had left a friend's house on Watkins Drive. She was killed by strangulation, according to police.
When her body was discovered, she was nude except for a blouse that partially covered her upper body, police said at the time of her killing.
"She just graduated from high school," her mother, Alice Grant, said. "She was very ambitious."
Grant was the oldest of four children. A week after she was buried, her mother received a letter that said Grant had been accepted into Hampton University.
"I didn't even know she had applied," said Grant, who said her daughter had left home shortly before her death.
According to police, at the time of her death, the 1989 Phoebus High School graduate was single and worked at a print shop.
A person of interest early in the investigation was her employer, who also was Grant's landlord. The landlord was given a polygraph test.
According to affidavits, he was "deceptive on all questions concerning the death of Grant." The landlord has not been charged in connection with Grant's death.
At the time of the investigation, a polygraph test was not considered admissible evidence in court in Virginia unless the person taking the test consents to its use.
Stubbs still remembers finding out that her sister had been slain.
"I was riding up Jefferson Avenue with my mom near 19th Street. My uncle stopped the van and told my mom that they found my sister dead."
It's a vivid memory that makes her shake her head and sigh at the recollection.
Hampton police Detective Steve Rodey said the public's view of assisting police in solving crimes has shifted in a way that could be helpful in cracking older cases.

Once again, it is the time of year when we celebrate the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays with family and friends. It is also a time to focus on just how fortunate we are to enjoy good health and our freedoms.
However, as the world goes, some are less fortunate than others and their character, resolve and faith are tested incessantly. Such is the case with my dear niece, Annette Wood Tucker, her husband, Richard, and their children, son Keith Tucker and daughter Kathy Tucker De Guire.
In light of their plight, this is the toughest column I have ever written -- it is difficult to see the computer screen through misty eyes. I wish I could be as brave as Annette and her family.
You see, Annette was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia on June 25. She spent five weeks in the hospital and has been receiving chemotherapy treatments every month since August. She, Richard, Keith and her sister, Shelby Wood Arnold, have made two trips to the Emory Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta for testing and to discuss plans for her to have a bone marrow transplant just before Christmas.
Shelby is a perfect match and will be the donor -- my hero/heroine list grows almost daily, and I am extremely proud to add these two nieces. They are the daughters of my late brother, Monroe -- a hero in his on right.
They will endure two more days of testing in Atlanta in early December and will return to Atlanta to sign final paperwork and get prepared for the procedure just before Christmas. Annette will remain in the hospital for four weeks, then must remain within 30 minutes of Emory for four months before returning home. Shelby will be able to return home soon after the procedure. In light of this requirement, Annette and Richard are searching for a temporary apartment near Emory Winship Cancer Institute.
My wife, Becky, and I stopped by Richard and Annettes home before Thanksgiving to see how she was doing. You can take my word for it that this lady is strong and is steadfast in her faith. As such, she has a positive attitude and is in good spirits.
In an e-mail received from her after to our visit, she appeared more concerned that she would be unable to plan a family reunion next spring due to still being under a doctors care, than she was about the things she faces in the next few months.
In her usual style, Annette is doing her Thanksgiving dinner as this column is being written and, according to Shelby, she will do an early Christmas with Richard and her children and grandchildren. Does this woman have strength, resolve and faith, or what? She is incredible.

Methodist Breast Care Center Earns Re-Accreditation From American College of Surgeons' Program
(OMAHA) – Methodist Estabrook Cancer Center (MECC) Breast Care Center has been granted a three-year, full re-accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons.
MECC is the first breast care center in Nebraska and any of the bordering states to earn re-accreditation. In 2009, MECC was the first breast care center in the region to earn the accreditation.
Accreditation by the NAPBC is granted only to breast centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance.
How important is accreditation?
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), approximately 185,000 patients were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the United States in 2008. In addition, hundreds of thousands of women who dealt with benign breast disease required medical evaluation for treatment options.
"Re-accreditation ensures that our patients have access to comprehensive breast health care, including a knowledgeable and caring staff, a full-range of state-of-the-art services, and a multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best course of action for treatment," said James Reilly, M.D., medical director of clinical services for MECC Breast Care Center. "We also provide our patients with information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options, which equates to quality breast health care close to home."
The NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast. This mission is pursued through standard-setting, scientific validation, and patient and professional education.
Its board membership includes professionals from 15 national organizations that reflect the full spectrum of breast care, from the initial assessment and diagnosis to survivorship.
