Heating vents may have given Target hackers their opening
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:23 12 February 2014
The Target hack that shook the American credit card industry and delivered up to 110 million customer records to the bad guys was reportedly successful thanks to a side-door left open by a Target contractor.
Related stories:
The hackers were able to get credentials for Target's network stolen from Fazio Mechanical Services, a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) company, according to independent security reporter Brian Krebs. They were first used to access Target's network on November 15, 2013.
Fazio President Ross Fazio told Krebs that the US Secret Service, which customarily investigates these kinds of cases, visited his company's offices in Sharpsburg, Penn., but that he wasn't there during the visit.
A fraud analyst with Gartner estimated to Krebs that Target could be forced to pay up to $420 million to cover costs associated with the breach, including noncompliance with credit card network standards, banks reissuing cards, legal fees, credit monitoring, and other costs. Those costs apparently don't include an upgrade to the more secure chip-and-pin credit cards and card readers.
Record-breaking DDoS attack in Europe hits 400Gbps
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:23 12 February 2014
A massive distributed-denial-of-service attack Monday reached more than 400Gbps at its peak, about 33 percent greater than last year's Spamhaus attack, the previous DDoS record-holder.
The attack was apparently directed at one of the customers of content delivery network and security provider CloudFlare, which first reported the attack. The company said it appeared that attackers leveraged a flaw in the Network Time Protocol (NTP), a network protocol used to synchronize computer clock times.
"Very big NTP reflection attack hitting us right now. Appears to be bigger than the #Spamhaus attack from last year. Mitigating," Cloudflare CEO Matthew Price said in a tweet. "Someone's got a big, new cannon. Start of ugly things to come," he wrote in a follow-up tweet.
Price did not identify the customer targeted by the attack but did say it was directed at servers in Europe, adding that "these NTP reflection attacks are getting really nasty."
The frequency of NTP reflection attacks has grown in recent months. After an NTP attack was used to take down game servers hosting EA's Origin service, Blizzard's Battle.net, and League of Legends, among others, US-CERT issued an alert warning companies of the attack technique's growing popularity.
The basic attack technique consists of attackers querying vulnerable NTP servers for traffic counts using the victim's spoofed address.

'The Day We Fight Back' calls for protests against NSA spying
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:23 12 February 2014
Those of you angered over reports of NSA spying are being urged to add your voices to those of a group of 5,300 companies and Web sites staging a worldwide protest.
Dubbing February 11 "The Day We Fight Back," organizations such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union, Free Press, Mozilla, Reddit, and Tumblr want Internet users to call or e-mail their legislators to pressure them to end the National Security Agency's mass surveillance program. The groups also are asking Web site owners to set up banners on their pages to urge visitors to join the cause.
Susan Molinari, Google's vice president of public policy, used the occasion to argue in a blog post that the US government should make major changes to how it responds to electronic privacy concerns. She said Congress ought to update the Electronic Communications Privacy Act to require the government to get a warrant before compelling tech firms to disclose the content of user communications; and pass the USA Freedom Act, a proposed law that would codify proposed surveillance reform principles.
A series of protests also are planned today in the United States and other countries.

Multifactor authentication extended to all Office 365 users
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 12 February 2014 10:23 12 February 2014
Microsoft has extended multifactor authentication to all subscribers of its Office 365 suite and plans further expansion of the security feature to other Office desktop applications later this year.
Also known as two-factor authentication, the log-in verification feature is aimed at reducing users' vulnerability to online identity theft, phishing, and other scams by adding a second level of authentication to an account log-in. Twitter, Apple, PayPal, Google, Facebook, and other vendors already have implemented two-factor authentication.
After correctly inputting their username and password, Office 365 subscribers will be required to acknowledge a phone call, text message, or an app notification on their smartphone before they can gain access to their account, Microsoft announced Monday in a company blog post.
Related stories
Available since last June to Office 365 users with administrative roles, the verification feature is now available to all consumers, regardless of their subscription, at no extra cost, the company said. The software giant also said it plans to extend the feature later this year to desktop applications such as Outlook, Lync, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PowerShell, and OneDrive for Business.
To better protect users of these applications in the meantime, Microsoft also announced App Passwords, a 16-character randomly generated password that can be used with any Office application to bolster log-in security. The company also plans to integrate third-party multifactor authentication and smart cards, which use embedded processors to enhance security.
The expansion is Microsoft's latest move to beef up security of its suite of office applications and services. The company announced last November that it planned to introduce message encryption for Office 365, allowing users to send automatically encrypted e-mail to recipients outside of their own company, regardless of its destination.
IHS cautious about Apple's push for large iPad
- Details
- Published on Monday, 03 February 2014 18:48 03 February 2014
How probable is a large iPad? Not probable enough for market researcher IHS to take seriously -- yet.
Ostensibly larger than Apple's current 9.7-inch iPad Air, a laptop-size iPad display could conceivably compete with Samsung's Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 shown at the Consumer Electronics Show -- which the South Korean company is marketing as its most business-friendly tablet.
But it's all very iffy right now, according to Rhoda Alexander, IHS' director of tablet and monitor research.
"Some manufacturers over the last six months have received sample quantities of a larger panel. They're playing around with a product that could possibly be an iPad-related product," she told CNET in a phone interview.
"Various sizes are being reported with 12.85 inches being one of the sizes," she said.
Related stories
But IHS is not factoring it into its forecast at the moment. "We have not seen volume shipments yet of any panels," she said. "We have to get a lot further down the line in terms of seeing really strong indicators from Apple that such a product exists, and we're just not at that point."
She also questioned how viable the market is for an iPad larger than the current 9.7-inch Air.
"When this [rumored] product was first discussed, it was said that there were requests from the education market, which I think shows a lack of understanding about how that market works. Those products have to qualify over years. Most of the education market is still using the iPad 2," she said.
And it is even less clear about whether it could morph into a hybrid tablet-laptop.
"What's the argument for it? The usage model is not entirely clear at this point," Alexander said. "Microsoft has indicated in the past that they're developing Office for the iPad. That's one application that if it came out, you could make an argument, OK, there's a use case where it would be useful to have a larger device."
NPD DisplaySearch has been posting research notes over the last few months that speculate about the arrival of a 12.9-inch iPad.

Published February 21, 2012 12:00 Serena Williams and Gisela Dulko headed to the Santa Lucia Riverwalk for a very special event. The American No.1 and South American No.1 played mini-tennis on a platform mounted on the water. Serena Williams, who is not competing in the tournament but came to visit, busted some moves. The event was organized by the tournament and the two later played doubles mini-tennis as well. There were about 2,000 fans and media present for the event, which was held on Sunday afternoon. Serena Williams said she was disappointed not to be able to play this week due to an ankle injury. Serena Williams also said she loved the tournament venue and the beautiful city of Monterrey.

Go, Sperm, Go!
July 5, 2007
I THINK I surged yesterday. The pink line SEEMED to be darker both that morning when I used a stick and that night when I tried again. I even think it was pretty much the same shade of pink as the control line. And today, there was the telltale CM so I'm thinking that I'm ovulating as I write (day 19). Since we last had sex late at night on day 16, I'd say I gave myself a two to three day window between sex and ovulation — pretty much what I wanted.
It is a little frustrating though, to know that I'm probably ovulating right now and I'm purposely not having sex — hoping that a female sperm from three days ago is still waiting around to implant. Those little sperm could very well have thrown in the towel yesterday, having given up on ever seeing a real live egg.
So if it doesn't work this time, I'm done trying for a girl. I can't take this level of scheduling and testing anymore. Next month when I surge, we're going to have sex — no calculating for pre-ovulation sex. Boy or girl...I just want to get pregnant.

The Putnam County Sheriff's Office tells us that at 5:20 this evening, the 17-year-old involved in today's Amber Alert that was detained in Columbus told officers the locations of the bodies of the two other individuals involved in the Amber Alert.
Multiple agencies responded to that location along Road 7 just outside of Ottawa, where the bodies of the other 17-year-old and the 14-year-old were found.
The identities of those involved are not being released, as they are all minors.
No cause of death is being released at this time. Also, no word if any charges will be filed.
The case is still under investigation.
We will update the story with further information as it becomes available.

When it's All in the Family
Posted By Al Martinez On April 4, 2013 @ 9:25 am In Home & Family,Legacy,Your Life | Comments Disabled
We had a family gathering last Sunday to observe the advent of spring [2], the second anniversary of our daughter's death, and the 65th anniversary of my first date with Cinelli. We greeted them all with noise and laughter [3].
It didn't feel like spring. It was raining on our town in the Santa Monica Mountains and the sky was as gray as steel . But the peach trees in our yard had blossomed into shades of white and strawberry pink and without question that says spring. Blossoms don't lie.
My wife's and my first date was actually April 1, 1949, and she likes to say, "Boy, was I fooled!" about exactly who she married three months later. I'm not sure what she expected, but she got me. I guess I'm a little goofy sometimes, but I work hard and don't hold up liquor stores so I'm not too bad.
There were 16 of us seated around the table at our family gathering. We ranged in ages from two-year-old Gracie to her 83-year-old grandpa. That would be me. Gracie laughs loudly along with the rest of us and it's a beautiful laugh, but most of the time she's a serious kid.
She has a way of staring like she's peeking through the windows of your eyes to read your soul. She holds the stare until she's satisfied and only then turns away. I wonder what she sees. I wonder what she thinks.
I know you're probably perplexed by our laughter at the memories of our daughter Cindy, who died of cancer in 2010. That's easy. One cannot grieve to eternity. After a while, to subdue the bitter tears of grief, it becomes necessary to reassemble in humor the daughter we lost.
Our laughter at Cindy's antics were warm and loving. We recalled, for instance, her trying to walk in her first high-heeled shoes when I took her to see the Beatles in San Francisco on her 16th birthday. She wobbled and bobbled to such an extent that she almost went down face-first, until she finally took off the heels in disgust and enjoyed the concert barefoot.
We laughed at her love of tomatoes—which she could never get enough of—and the empty bag of corn chips I handed her one day and told her never to give up because it was a gift from her father. She vowed in mock solemnity to keep the wrapper forever and, every once in a while, showed it to me to prove she still had it. When she died, I searched for it in her apartment, but it was nowhere to be found. Maybe she still has it with her.
I've been told that though others might falter, family rarely lets you down. That has been my experience through a lot of career disasters. You never lose when a family is your team.

Atelosteogenesis type 2
Other Names for this Disease
- Neonatal osseous dysplasia 1
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
Atelosteogenesis type 2 is a genetic disorder that affects cartilage and bone development. Infants born with this condition have very short arms and legs, a narrow chest, and a prominent, rounded abdomen. The signs and symptoms of atelosteogenesis type 2 include an opening in the roof of the mouth (a cleft palate), characteristic facial features, an inward- and upward-turning foot (clubfoot), and unusually positioned thumbs (hitchhiker thumbs). Atelosteogenesis type 2 causes serious health problems and infants with this disorder are usually stillborn or die soon after birth from respiratory failure. Some infants, however, have lived for a short time with intensive medical support.

Microsoft has gotten a fair amount of justified criticism for the myriad Windows and Internet Explorer vulnerabilities. But now the darling of the tech world, Google, is starting to take some heat as well.
The Google Desktop search tool, it was revealed soon after its release, could be used to ferret out secret information about someone who uses a public computer, including reading his private email. That's because it indexes all Web pages visited by Internet Explorer, including secure Web sites. So if you visit a site like Hotmail on a public computer and read your private mail, other people who use Google Desktop on the same PC will be able to read your mail, unless certain settings are tweaked.
That was a relatively minor problem, and easily fixed by a simple setting change. The last few days, though, have seen more serious security problems arise. Rice University researchers found out that a flaw in Google Desktop could be used to let intruders on the Internet secretly read the contents of your hard drive. Google fixed the security hole, and has automatically updated Google Desktop on people's PCs so that it's no longer vulnerable. But even though it was fixed, security experts warn that other similar holes may eventually surface — and so the research firm Gartner has recommended the businesses not let their users install it.
Now it's been revealed that malware writers are using the Google search site as a way to attack vulnerable Web sites.
Why point the finger at Google? To show that Microsoft's security woes are not all of its own making. I've long said that one reason Microsoft software is targeted is simply because most people use its software. Now the same thing is happening to Google which is, in terms of popularity, practically the Microsoft of the Web.
So yes, it's true that Microsoft has a way to go to securing Windows and Internet Explorer. (Its recent acquisition of spyware vendor Giant Software, though, shows that it's taking the issue seriously.) But Google's security problems show that to certain extent, security holes are part of the price tech companies pay for success.
What do you think about Google's recent security problems?

Kentucky Fried Brain? Diner Finds Brain-Like Surprise in KFC Meal
UK student gets a surprise in his KFC meal
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Ibrahim Langoo didn't find his recent meal at a KFC in Colchester, Essex, England, to be finger-lickin' good. When the U.K. student pulled apart his chicken, he exposed a 3-inch surprise, what he called a "brain."
See America's Unhealthiest Fast-Food items Slideshow
"I have a habit of picking the chicken off the bone with my fingers and as I pulled the second piece apart, I saw this horrible wrinkled foreign body," Langoo told The Sun.
Langoo had stopped at the KFC in between classes to share a Gladiator box meal with his classmate. The meal (priced at around $11) includes a chicken breast fillet burger, two pieces of Original Crispy chicken, a side, fries, and a drink. After workers failed to help Langoo when he complained, Langoo left the restaurant and posted a photo online, declaring that he wouldn't eat at KFC again.
KFC has apologized and clarified they think the "brain" is actually a chicken kidney.
"Although we haven't received the product, it appears from a photograph that unfortunately on this occasion a kidney, and not a brain as claimed, was not removed in the preparation process," a KFC representative told The Sun. "We're very sorry about Mr. Langoo's experience and while there was no health risk, we agree it was unsightly."
KFC has offered Langoo a KFC voucher, but something tells us he won't be going back anytime soon.

WASHINGTON, Oct 19, 2010 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Blackboard Inc. (Nasdaq: BBBB) today announced a number of new and renewing clients who are leveraging the company's Blackboard Collaborate solutions - including the recently acquired Elluminate, Inc. and Wimba, Inc. product suites - integrated either with Blackboard Learn(TM) or with open source course management systems.
Since Elluminate and Wimba joined Blackboard in July, new and renewing Elluminate and Wimba Moodle integration customers include Alliant International University, The Robert Gordon University in the U.K., San Mateo County Community College District, and the University of California Riverside Extension, among others.
"The Elluminate Bridge for Moodle is a powerful tool that makes it easy for our instructors to incorporate the real time interaction offered by Elluminate right inside their courses," said Brian Reilly, Distance Learning Coordinator at University of California Riverside Extension. "I'm reassured that we'll continue to have the same functionality available within Moodle in the future. It's definitely important to us because we hope to expand our use of Elluminate."
"It's gratifying to know that our Moodle colleges, including San Mateo, can incorporate Elluminate sessions into their teaching and learning environments," said Blaine Morrow, Director of CCC Confer, which delivers Elluminate's accessible Web conferencing to the California Community College System, the largest system of higher education in the world. "We're pleased with the level of support we're getting from the new Blackboard Collaborate team in our work to serve nearly 3 million students at 112 campuses, not all of which use Blackboard's learning management platform."
As part of Blackboard Collaborate, Elluminate and Wimba are the leading education focused Web, video and audio conferencing technologies used by thousands of higher education, K-12, professional, corporate, and government organizations worldwide. Both solutions are often used independently or are integrated with Blackboard's learning management platforms and other open source and commercial course management systems.
"Since we began offering online and blended learning courses in the late 1990s, instructional technology tools such as Wimba and Blackboard have become indispensable for providing secure, flexible, and highly collaborative learning environments," said Jane Himmel, Associate Director at the Center for Learning Enhancement, Assessment, and Redesign at the University of North Texas. "I see great value in the way both companies have kept pace with needs of next generation learners while keeping the tools functional and easy to use for instructors. I am certain that both products will continue to play a critical role in the future of all learning at UNT, particularly as we seek to provide more mobile learning options."
"We're pleased to see continued interest from clients using a broad range of learning technologies," said Maurice Heiblum, President of Blackboard Collaborate. "Our commitment to open integrations is a core value that will be carried forward as our teams and solutions come together at Blackboard."

► Natural selection does not favor problem-solver great tits over nonsolvers in the wild ► Solvers produce larger clutches because they exploit their environment efficiently ► But solvers are also more sensitive to perceived predation risk at the nest ► These contrasting links potentially explain why individual cognitive ability varies
Cognition has been studied intensively for several decades, but the evolutionary processes that shape individual variation in cognitive traits remain elusive [1,2,3]. For instance, the strength of selection on a cognitive trait has never been estimated in a natural population, and the possibility that positive links with life history variation [1,2,3,4,5] are mitigated by costs [6] or confounded by ecological factors remains unexplored in the wild. We assessed novel problem-solving performance in 468 wild great tits Parus major temporarily taken into captivity and subsequently followed up their reproductive performance in the wild. Problem-solver females produced larger clutches than nonsolvers. This benefit did not arise because solvers timed their breeding better, occupied better habitats, or compromised offspring quality or their own survival. Instead, foraging range size and day length were relatively small and short, respectively, for solvers, suggesting that they were more efficient at exploiting their environment. In contrast to the positive effect on clutch size, problem solvers deserted their nests more often, leading to little or no overall selection on problem-solving performance. Our results are consistent with the idea that variation in cognitive ability is shaped by contrasting effects on different life history traits directly linked to fitness [1, 3,1, 3].

We've all been there. You find a job description that sounds incredibly exciting, but you wait days to submit a job application in order to put the finishing touches on your resume, agonizing over the language. While candidates spend hours pouring over each and every line and tweaking each and every word, it's not uncommon for a hiring manager to spend just a few moments looking at a resume before deciding if they'd like to interview a candidate. Because of this, it's helpful for candidates to understand what really stands out!
So, what can you do to make sure your resume lands you an interview?
• Show the employer that based on your past work and academic experience, you have the skills needed for the role. Hiring managers think that the best way to understand what you can contribute to our organization is to understand what you've done in the past. It's far more powerful to include responsibilities on your resume that demonstrate a particular skill set than to include a "skills" section with a list of your strengths and hope that the employer takes a leap of faith and trusts that you really do display all of the things that you listed. So, if the job requires the ability to juggle multiple priorities, don't write that you can multitask, show that you managed to complete an internship while also taking classes and serving in a leadership role on campus.
• Describe your unique contribution. Avoid words such as "assist" or "contribute to." It doesn't tell the employer about your role in the process, making it tough to evaluate your skills. Be as specific as possible so that the hiring manager can understand the value that you brought to the project and the specific experience you've gained.
• Exhibit a high degree of professionalism. Almost all jobs involve some amount of professional communication, so consider your resume a writing sample. Don't rely on spell check to do the job for you. I've seen people (who I believe speak Spanish) boast their fluency in "Spinach." Proofread several times to avoid these mistakes! Another common mistake is incorrect verb tense, which makes it confusing to read. When a job ends, adjust the dates to reflect this on your resume and be sure to also change the verb tense from present to past.
• Be concise. Keep your resume to one page unless you have more than ten years of work experience. Think about every line of text on your resume as a valuable but limited resource. To those ends, be careful about using objective statements and only use them to include new and compelling information. Too often, candidates write objective statements such as "To work for the Charles Koch Institute" or "To advocate for the ideas of economic freedom." These objective statements are repetitive because the candidate has already conveyed this interest by applying for a role, so those lines are probably better use to show skills or knowledge. Also, don't try to fit everything on one page by eliminating your margins or making the font so small that the employer needs a magnifying glass to read it. I'd recommend no smaller than nine-point font and one-inch margins.
• Make it easy for the reader to scan. Our selection team reviews hundreds of resumes each year, so the easier it is for us to quickly understand your resume, the better! List past experiences in chronological order with the most recent at the top and put the dates and locations for those roles on the right hand side of the page. This makes it easy for the reviewer to quickly understand your work history. Use bullets as opposed to paragraphs when describing responsibilities for each role.

If this is your first interaction with me, I'm sure you are wondering what Unchained is all about and why I named this blog Unchained Bracelets…
Here's the story. I created a bracelet in March or April of 2011. I thought it was cool and so did a few of my friends. I wanted to go ahead and see about making some available for sale. However, I didn't follow through with the plan.
Why you ask? It all has to do with me and who I am…Who the God of the Universe and all mankind created me to be. I was not made to simply create and sell without further purpose. God did not give me passion to simply create. He gave me a small gifting to create with a huge passion to impact others! But…(and I know you should never start a sentence with the word but) not just others…specific others. Others who are hurting, others who are living in deep burdened lives, others who may still need God in their lives, or even others who have found God but still don't have the peace of living free.
So, which category of "others" do you fit in? All of you reading this fit in a category…be it addiction, abuse, sickness or disease. Perhaps your monster is a little less obvious. You deal with not being able to be yourself. Being trapped by always needing to have others approval. Being smothered with the freedom to have approval before making a decision. Or perhaps you live so out loud, going against the grain to try to meet those needs in your life. Maybe you are chained to your past, unable to forgive yourself or others. There are so many situations and terms that I could add but the truth is, you've already pinned down one or more issues just reading this. I've already hit the nail on the head….
So, where do I go from here? Getting back to the bracelet. I woke up one night with this passion and the Lord put the puzzle together for me so I could move on with His plan. We all need freedom in areas of our lives. So what does this bracelet represent? It is a bracelet made of linked chain. This chain represents whatever came to your mind in the previous paragraph. However, that's not all the bracelet is made of. Each side of this chain is linked to a washer in the center which has words on it. What words? You choose! It can say a word of your burden on one side and a word of freedom on the other. Or it can say simply Unchained on one side and the freedom word of your choice on the other. What this washer signifies is a never-ending circle of you freedom for eternity if you so choose!
The truth is, we don't have to live in chains! We can choose to get free from what chains us in many different ways. That is why I write. I help pinpoint some issues and things to help you along the way to living free. It's not all about the bracelet and making a sale! I genuinely care about you and helping you learn and live the same things I've discovered in life!
I will tell you that I also serve a very real Jesus! A Jesus who you may or may not know. A jesus who before I was born was beaten and more than battered and bruised on a cross. My Jesus was nailed to a cross to die. And with every ounce of wrong I have ever done … You have ever done. Past. Present. Future. As He was nailed to that cross and DIED on that cross…it ALL DIED with Him! But wait! There's more! This same Jesus also came back to life 3 days later and still LIVES in Heaven today. He was REBORN and because I accepted what He did for me by believing its Truth and Power. I am forgiven…I am REBORN and I have the power of the cross in my life that grants me access if I so choose to live FREE. My friends, this is the greatest story I will ever tell and this is the reason I live Unchained!!

*One star* Here is a lively, deeply filled Zinfandel that hits all the right varietal marks without making any concessions to over-the-top ripeness at any point. It is bright and very well-balanced with plenty of essential berry-like fruit at its heart, and its finely-fit acidity makes for an exceptionally long and vital finish. It is a wine that very much wants drinking with food, and it will grow effortlessly for years. (9/ 2012)
This epitomizes Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel. Its dry, briary and brambly, with wild berry, cola and crisped bacon flavors. Its incredibly spicy, offering everything from black and white pepper to nutmeg, anise and clove. The texture is a delight-silky and gently tannic. (12/ 2012)
Bright ruby-red. Red berry and cherry aromas are brightened by cracked pepper and fresh flowers. A tangy midweight that offers fresh cherry and raspberry flavors, energizing acidity and a silky texture. Gains sweetness on the finish, with the peppery note repeating. (5/ 2012)
The 2010 Zinfandel is an attractive, straightforward wine with good varietal character and nuance. Ideally, it is best enjoyed over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2015. (4/ 2013)
An old-fashioned, Italianate red, this is rustic in its salt-and-iron tannins. Leave it in a decanter while you braise pork shoulder with plenty of spice. (10/ 2012)

Joseph Shapiro is a NPR News Investigations correspondent.
In this role, Shapiro takes on long-term reporting projects and covers breaking news stories for NPR's news shows.
Shapiro's major investigative stories include his reports on the failure of colleges and universities to punish for on-campus sexual assaults; the inadequacy of civil rights laws designed to get the elderly and people with disabilities out of nursing homes, and the little-known profits involved in the production of medical products from donated human cadavers.
His reporting has generated wide-spread attention to serious issues here and abroad. His "Child Cases" series, reported with PBS Frontline and ProPublica, found two dozen cases in the U.S. and Canada where parents and caregivers were charged with killing children, but the charges were later reversed or dropped. Since that series, a Texas man who was the focus of one story was released from prison. And in California, a woman, who was the subject of another story, had her sentence commuted.
Shapiro joined NPR in November 2001 and spent eight years covering health, aging, disability and children's and family issues on the Science Desk. He reported on the health issues of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and helped start NPR's 2005 Impact of War series with reporting from Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center. He covered stories from Hurricane Katrina to the debate over overhauling the nation's health care system.
Before coming to NPR, Shapiro spent 19 years at U.S. News & World Report, as a Senior Writer on social policy and served as the magazine's Rome bureau chief, White House correspondent and congressional reporter.
Among honors for his investigative journalism, Shapiro has received a Peabody Award, a Robert F. Kennedy Award, the Edward R. Murrow Award, Sigma Delta Chi, IRE, Dart and Gracie awards and was a finalist for the Goldsmith Award.
Shapiro is the author of the award-winning NO PITY: People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement (Random House/Three Rivers Press), which is widely read in disability studies classes.
Shapiro studied long-term care and end-of-life issues as a participant in the yearlong 1997 Kaiser Media Fellowship in Health program. In 1990, he explored the changing world of people with disabilities as an Alicia Patterson Foundation fellow.
Shapiro attended the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and Carleton College. He's a native of Washington, D.C., and lives there now with his family.
Noah Adams, long-time co-host of NPR's All Things Considered, brings more than three decades of radio experience to his current job as a contributing correspondent for NPR's National Desk., focusing on the low-wage workforce, farm issues, and the Katrina aftermath. Now based in Ohio, he travels extensively for his reporting assignments, a position he's held since 2003.
Adams' career in radio began in 1962 at WIRO in Ironton, Ohio, across the river from his native Ashland, Kentucky. He was a "good music" DJ on the morning shift, and played rock and roll on Sandman's Serenade from 9 p.m. to midnight. Between shifts, he broadcasted everything from basketball games to sock hops. From 1963 to 1965, Adams was on the air from WCMI (Ashland), WSAZ (Huntington, W. Va.) and WCYB (Bristol, Va.).
After other radio work in Georgia and Kentucky, Adams left broadcasting and spent six years working at various jobs, including at a construction company, an automobile dealership and an advertising agency.
In 1971, Adam discovered public radio at WBKY, the University of Kentucky's station in Lexington. He began as a volunteer rock and roll announcer but soon became involved in other projects, including documentaries and a weekly bluegrass show. Three years later he joined the staff full-time as host of a morning news and music program.
Adams came to NPR in 1975 where he worked behind the scenes editing and writing for the next three years. He became co-host of the weekend edition of All Things Considered in 1978 and in September 1982, Adams was named weekday co-host, joining Susan Stamberg.
During 1988, Adams left NPR for one year to host Minnesota Public Radio's Good Evening, a weekly show that blended music with storytelling. He returned to All Things Considered in February 1989.
Over the years Adams has often reported from overseas: he covered the Christmas Eve uprising against the Ceasescu government in Romania, and his work from Serbia was honored by the Overseas Press Club in 1994. His writing and narration of the 1981 documentary "Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown," earned Adams a Prix Italia, the Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia University Award and the Major Armstrong Award.
A collection of Adams' essays from Good Evening, entitled Saint Croix Notes: River Morning, Radio Nights (W.W. Norton) was printed in 1990. Two years later, Adams' second book, Noah Adams on All Things Considered: A Radio Journal (W.W. Norton), was published. Piano Lessons: Music, Love and True Adventures (Delacore), Adams next book was finished in 1996, and Far Appalachia: Following the New River North, in 2000. The Flyers: in Search of Wilbur and Orville Wright (Crown) was published in 2004. Most recently Adams co-wrote This is NPR: The First Forty Years (Chronicle Books), to be released in November 2010.
Adams lives in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where his wife, Neenah Ellis, is the general manager of NPR member station WYSO.

Suns Strokes: Suns rally but lose to Bulls in OT
The Good:
The Suns trailed by 14 points entering the fourth quarter and outscored Chicago 31-17 in the period, shooting 13-of-25 (52%) from the field while holding the Bulls to 4-of-11 (36.4%) and forcing five Chicago turnovers.
The Suns' bench accounted for 23 of the team's 31 points, including 10 by Shannon Brown, nine by Sebastian Telfair and four from P.J. Tucker, who made the game-tying layup with 9.4 seconds remaining.
The Bad:
The Suns are their own worst enemies. They have now trailed by double figures in eight of nine games this season, including all five home games. The Suns trailed by as many as 18 points Wednesday before forcing overtime.
He Said It:
"It's been happening to us every game," Luis Scola (24 points, 14 rebounds) said. "It's very difficult to play that way. If we put ourselves in the situation and get down 19, 20 and 16 every game...it's very difficult to win games. You're going to come back eventually every once and a while but you are going to lose most of those games."
� Michael Beasley scored all six of the Suns' points in overtime. However, he was 4-of-15 from the field and is now shooting 32.2% (28-of-87) over his last six games.
� Markieff Morris left the arena with the aide of crutches after he suffered a low back bruise on his right side late in the fourth quarter. Morris landed hard after fighting for a rebound following a Shannon Brown missed four-foot jumper that would've given the Suns the lead with 19.9 left. Morris is considered day-to-day.

Hi RTM, Is there any possibility to do the translation offline? I think it will be more useful and less time-consuming... Just a thought. Regards,
Posted at 3:50pm on September 19, 2009
Hi vantharith.oum, Unfortunately this isn't currently possible. :( I guess you could copy the list of strings offline and then compile your list of translations and paste them back in later when you're back online.

Canyon, Blackstone GSO, MFA, SkyBridge weigh in on politics and the economy at Milken.
Anthony Scaramucci (Photo: Bloomberg)
Anthony Scaramucci, managing partner of fund of funds SkyBridge Capital, was particularly critical of Barack Obama, saying "the president is a disaster" during a panel discussion entitled "Dear Washington, Please Make Government Work Again. Sincerely, America."
Scaramucci, who famously asked Obama in 2010 to stop "whacking" Wall Street like a "pinata", said the president has an unhealthy affection for socialism. "He believes in society with a bigger federal government," said Scaramucci,...

Photo: Creatas/Thinkstock Some days, my mommy brain is too tired to come up with an original phrase to handle the situation brewing in my house. That's when I turn to my tried-and-true Momisms, ready-to-use one-liners guaranteed to move the situation forward. Most of my favorite Momisms I inherited from my own mother. She had a stockpile of handy phrases that she used repeatedly with my seven siblings and me. Eight kids, one mom—she needed those go-to aphorisms! These Momisms got us up, out the door and on our way in the world. Need motivation or encouragement? Use a Momism! I only have two kids, but I find myself repeating these often:
"First things first." Wondering where to start on the never ending to-do list at home or the office? Here's where you start: with the first thing. It might be making coffee or bathing the kids before you can tackle the mess in the kitchen. But I've found that once I check that first thing off my list, the rest of the items begin to fall into place. Try this with kids overwhelmed by homework: Gotta sharpen the pencils before you can do the math! "You'll be fine, dear." My mother would toss out this sentence whenever we were starting a new school, job or social experience like camp. No over-the-top self-esteem message here. My mother didn't promise that we'd be "fabulous" or "the best ever," just "fine." Positive and reasonable. That's the kind of reassurance kids need. "Get up and get going." This is the perfect phrase to use on the kids when they come down with a case of the Monday Morning Blues."Just get up and get going and you'll feel much better," my mother used to say to me. Lying in bed, it's easy to talk yourself out of anything, especially school. But you do feel better when you get up and get going. Try this on yourself when you lack the mojo to go to the gym! "Can't you just try and be pleasant?" Imagine eight kids around the dinner table, teasing and taunting each other. This is when my mother would pull out this Momism. I've updated to "Please try to be nice to each other." Notice the syntax. You don't have to be nice to each other, just try to be nice. Again, reasonable expectations that can be easily achieved. The effort goes a long way. "You can never have too much ice." This has nothing to do with raising children, but it is a wonderful party-planning tip from my mother. It's true. You know why? Because ice melts. You will never regret a last-minute ice run before a party. What Momisms do you use with your children? Leave your comments below. Lian Dolan is a mother, wife, sister, friend, daughter, writer and talk show host. She writes and talks about her adventures in modern motherhood for her website, ChaosChronicles.com, and her weekly podcast, The Chaos Chronicles. Published on July 14, 2010
