Craig Wiseman August 21st, 2014 05:13:14 PM
I've been sending versions of this email out for years and years (I had to update it when the term "phishing" came along), so I thought I'd put it up here as well.
Don't let the bad guys get you: How to Prevent Email Worms, Viruses, and Trojans
We have the best anti-spam and Anti-virus software. We have great firewalls, encrypted VPNs, secure servers... but it's not enough to save us from every "Day 0 Attack"*. An email worm*/virus*/trojan* can go worldwide in just minutes or even seconds, but it can take hours for antivirus vendors to analyze, create, and upload signature updates. It takes a bit longer for us to download and deploy them to our servers and PCs. Happily, there are some easy things we can all do to help limit that window of vulnerability and help keep the bad guys out of our systems.
#1: Understand - Knowing what an attachment really is and what it can do is the first step. Any executable* file attached to an email has the potential to be infected, and to infect your PC in turn. This covers a wide range of file types - basically it means any file that can be attached to an email.
#1b: Understand - Know what kind of emails to expect from what senders. For example - UPS, LinkedIn, Amazon.com, and the Better Business Bureau do not send unsolicited emails with ZIP files attached (or any attachments for that matter). If you receive an email from an entity with an attachment you were not expecting - be very suspicious of it.
#2: Purpose - We shouldn't open ANY attachment unless they were specifically requested or expected. Email viruses/worms are sent to email addresses found on infected users' PCs, so just knowing the sender does not protect you - they may be infected. Actually, the most likely person to send you an infected email is someone you know, and they most likely won't even know they are infected and that emails are going out in their name. To make things more complicated, viri & worms today falsify (spoof) the FROM email address, so the message may not even be from it appears to be from. If if you have any question or doubt, see #3.
#3: Is it REQUIRED? - Probably the simplest, but most ignored idea: You don't need to click that greeting card link or open that "kardashian_pics.zip" at work. So, DON'T.
#4: Get Secure - Most viri/worms are written to take advantage of problems with in Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Since we use Lotus Notes, we are somewhat protected in that area. However, take the time daily to make sure your antivirus client is up-to-date. Symantec issues new signatures pretty much daily, so check your antivirus and make sure it shows a date from the last few days.
#5: Patch your PC - Microsoft releases updates frequently and we push them out to our PCs. However, in order to not interfere with your work, we allow you to choose when to install them. When you are notified of new updates, please take the time to install them on the day you're notified of new one
* Wikipeida says:
Day 0 Attack: A zero-day (or zero-hour or day zero) attack or threat is a computer threat that tries to exploit computer application vulnerabilities that are unknown to others or undisclosed to the software developer. Zero-day exploits (actual code that can use a security hole to carry out an attack) are used or shared by attackers before the software developer knows about the vulnerability.
The term derives from the age of the exploit. When a developer becomes aware of a security hole, there is a race to close it before attackers discover it or the vulnerability becomes public. A "zero day" attack occurs on or before the first or "zeroth" day of developer awareness, meaning the developer has not had any opportunity to distribute a security fix to users of the software. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-day_attack)
Worm: A computer worm is a self-replicating malware computer program. It uses a computer network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so without any user intervention. This is due to security shortcomings on the target computer. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause at least some harm to the network, if only by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm)
Phishing: The act of attempting to acquire information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social web sites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing emails may contain links to websites that are infected with malware. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail spoofing or instant messaging, and it often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. Phishing is an example of social engineering techniques used to deceive users, and exploits the poor usability of current web security technologies. Attempts to deal with the growing number of reported phishing incidents include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing)
Computer Virus: A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself[1] and infect a computer. The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus)
Trojan Horse: A Trojan horse, or Trojan, is malware that appears to perform a desirable function for the user prior to run or install but instead facilitates unauthorized access of the user's computer system. "It is a harmful piece of software that looks legitimate. Users are typically tricked into loading and executing it on their systems", as Cisco describes. The term is derived from the Trojan Horse story in Greek mythology. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_virus)
Executable: In computing, an executable file causes a computer "to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions,"as opposed to a data file that must be parsed by a program to be meaningful. These instructions are traditionally machine code instructions for a physical CPU. However, in a more general sense, a file containing instructions (such as bytecode) for a software interpreter may also be considered executable; even a scripting language source file may therefore be considered executable in this sense. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable)

If you're mad at Carrier IQ, then you are doing exactly what the carriers want you to.
The surprising thing is that the ire has been directed at Carrier IQ themselves. Why? If someone runs you over in their car, you don't write a stern letter to Ford. Carrier IQ made and sold an invasive piece of software, certainly. But they didn't install it on your phone. Sprint [and AT&T] did. Full Story

So, we've waited for years for IBM to update Domino's SSL/TLS implementation. There have been other ideas on this expressed.
Now, it seems that the implementation is vulnerable... and since we don't have current TLS options, we have no native Domino solution. It realllly looks like neglect, but perhaps there's a better expression.
Update: John James has something useful to say about the SSL/TLS vulnerability here.

For you folks in Irene's path, I certainly "feel your pain". Yep, that lil red dot was me in 2008 when Gustav hit. In the northeastern quadrant of the storm (always the worst part of the storm).
I was a bit further away from Ike (2008), Katrina, and Rita( 2005), so all we got then was heavy rain & moderate winds.
The best thing to do in a hurricane is NOT be in its path. You can always rebuild a building, but people ... not so much. That's one reason I like hurricanes better than earthquakes, tornados, etc. You can see them and get the $*$)# away. I urge you to do so. Follow Monty Python's advice and run away.

A video walkthrough of the unholy marriage of BlackBerry and Android
BlackBerry fans everywhere were astonished Thursday when an early version of the Android Player for the PlayBook leaked out and their little tablets suddenly became usable. Usable as in once you've got Android running on the PlayBook, you suddenly have an e-mail app. Craziness!
Pretty cool stuff, especially since it's running Android 2.3.3, and there's a good chance your phone doesn't even that yet. Glad we could help you out there, RIM.

Just Apple being Apple: US Apple stores are replacing screws on iPhone 4s brought for servicing with tamper-proof screws to prevent anyone else from opening the device.
What? You thought "insane" only applied to the greatness of their products?
(Reuters) -...In line with its infamous philosophy of maintaining absolute control over its products, sources said U.S. Apple stores are replacing screws on iPhone 4s brought for servicing with tamper-proof screws to prevent anyone else from opening the device.
Kyle Wiens, chief executive of iFixit, a prominent Apple repair and parts supplier, said the purpose of the new screws is to keep people out of the iPhone and prevent them from replacing the battery. He said he noticed in November that screws were being switched.

Detailing the expected hardware changes for the iPad and iPhoneComments (0)
The latest batch of rumors about the hardware architecture of Apple's next-generation devices is coming fast and furious. So far, they suggest that Apple is moving to Qualcomm baseband radios, beefing up the GPU with the latest designs from Imagination Technologies, doubling the CPU cores, and giving the iPad the higher-resolution display it so richly deserves.
There's a lot to take in, so we decided to take a look at these rumors with an eye on what we expect to see announced this year.

I've been thinking (and praying) a lot lately about (and for) the folks in Tuscon. And then the blame game that ensued, well, that's made me almost as sick as the actual event. Beyond Tuscon, there's been a lot of other violence and tragedy and more tragedy happening.
Take a couple of minutes and watch this NASA video. It's worth it. What we say about each other, and how we treat each other one-on-one, on the interwebs, and everywhere is important. What we say has impact. What we do has impact. I'll steal a quote: Treat each day as if it were on purpose.

You, know, I can't even think of a pithy (printable) comment for this.
"The combination of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand with the amazing 3D capabilities of Sony's network-enabled devices makes for a great consumer entertainment experience," Tim Schaaff, Sony Network Entertainment President
Please feel free to frame the joke most appropriate for your mood. Here's the whole article, and a link to it:
Sony, Sports Illustrated Bring Swimsuit Issue to 3D TVs
By: Leslie Horn | 01.07.2011
While 3D TVs haven't exactly gone mainstream, fans of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit edition might want to think about investing in one. Sony has signed a deal with the magazine to bring the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue to the PlayStation Network in February, the companies announced Wednesday..
"Just when you think the bar couldn't get any higher for the Swimsuit franchise, we've raised it once again with our partners at Sony," Mark Ford, president of the Sports Illustrated group, said in a statement. "Swimsuit in 3D has extraordinary potential and we're thrilled to deliver its millions of fans a new perspective through the exciting world of 3D video.
"When the magazine hits newsstands on Feb. 15, both 3D and 2D video content will be available to rent or buy via the PlayStation Network video-delivery service on PS3 consoles. It will also be accessible via Sony's Qriocity streaming-video service and on 3D-enabled Bravia HDTVs and Blu-ray players.
"The combination of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit brand with the amazing 3D capabilities of Sony's network-enabled devices makes for a great consumer entertainment experience," Tim Schaaff, Sony Network Entertainment President, said. "We strive to deliver unique content to our users, and are delighted to offer this first-of-its-kind high definition 3D Swimsuit video."
Will this energize 3D TV sales for Sony? According to Nielsen's State of the Media 2010 report, the future of the 3D looks dismal. The study said only two percent of consumers own a 3D set and only three percent "definitely" plan to buy one in the next 12 months.

Supported Site California State University, San Marcos: Recruitment
California State University, San Marcos
Goals & Outcomes
Early Teaching Experience
Induction & Mentoring
Course Reform
Publications & Talks
- Two well-attended recruiting nights were held on the CSUSM campus.
- We have continued growth in the LA program at CSUSM and Palomar (described in Early Teaching Experience section).
- Recruiting for careers in teaching has been included in general STEM recruiting efforts.
- PIs Dr. Edward Price and Dr. Brian Lawler were awarded an NSF-funded Noyce Scholarship program, which will begin awarding scholarship for 2013-14.
- Based on focus groups (conducted through another project), Palomar math and science students have limited interest in teaching careers. This makes activities such as the LA program all the more important in order to encourage these students to consider teaching as a career option.
- To be certified, students must complete a one-year post-baccalaureate program that requires a complex application and admission process. This can be an additional hurdle to physics majors becoming credential candidates.
- CSUSM has an NSF-funded STEP project with a focus on recruiting STEM students. CSUSM STEP project PI Dr. Charles De Leone has agreed to "mainstream recruiting for careers in STEM teaching; in other words, while recruiting students for STEM disciplines, include teaching careers as one of many career options available with a STEM degree." The STEP project is a five-year project; sustainability is addressed through creation of print resources, transfer agreements, and capacity building with staff/administrators that will persist after the funding period.
Lessons Learned
- Students need additional information on the admissions process to the credential program and the steps to becoming a teacher.
- Recruiting nights have been held each fall and spring. These events included a description of the LA program, a discussion of the need for math and science teachers, and statements from current and former LAs. Typically 30-50 CSUSM and Palomar math and science students attend these sessions.
- Focus groups at CSUSM and Palomar (October 2011) were conducted as part of the CSUSM STEP project in coordination with the PhysTEC project. Students' interest in careers in teaching was one topic of the focus groups.
- A recruiting poster has been developed.
- CSUSM Physics majors were surveyed on their career interests, including careers in teaching. Students reporting interest in teaching have been contacted with further information.
- The Physics Department included a talk on physics education research in the 2012-13 colloquium series.

Every now and again, you witness something you know you won't soon forget.
Just such a moment in time along the northernmost coast of Costa Rica remains clearly etched in my memory.
Now and then over the years, I've seen dorado (mahi or dolphin) showering baitfish - the silvery shimmer of a school flying out of the water in unison as it attempts to flee a marauding bull, lit up with colors that would make a peacock jealous.
But this was the first time I'd watched adult dorado as the "showerees." It was indeed a sight to behold, and everyone on the 40-foot Gamefish Plautus beheld it in awe on that June morning, last year. A pack of big dorado were making like low-flying birds. The fish would hit the water and soar right out again in long-distance broad jumps worthy of an Olympic medalist.
The event lasted long enough that I managed to turn away to make a grab for my camera. I had no time to try to adjust settings for the dim light beneath a veil of morning mist and heavy overcast, just snapping a few quick shots, zoomed out to the lens's 200mm maximum. Later, looking at the images, I noted with some surprise just how close to shore we were when all this occurred.
"Now you see why we call it Jurassic Park up here," says Jamey Harless, our host and owner of the Plautus and Billfish Safaris.
I knew the reason for his comment, of course.
Not many predators are large and fast enough to threaten a school of grown dorado, putting them in head-for-the-hills mode like these. But for a big, hungry marlin, dorado offer a dandy meal. There was little doubt that a big billfish had chased the mahi topside.
Actually the "Jurassic Park" moniker can be attributed to a couple of sources. One is indeed the fact that big fish - of several species - hang out here. Also, this is Jurassic Park, at least according to Steven Spielberg. Part of the movie was filmed right here, north of the Gulf of Papagayo. That's not surprising, since this steep, rugged coast with its thick, pristine jungle looks every bit the lost world; I kept one eye out for a T-Rex to appear at any time.
Jurassic Habitat
The fact that dino-size predators patrol the waters along the Costa Rican coast just south of the Nicaragua border isn't terribly surprising either, at least when you've seen it on a map, on a depth sounder and finally, with your own eyes.
More often than not, a long, rocky finger of land jutting out into the ocean, with currents clashing over the rugged habitat, spells fish. This particular rocky finger qualifies as the westernmost point of land in the Guanacaste (the most northerly state in Costa Rica, just south of Nicaragua) and is the hot spot most often fished by the four charter boats that Billfish Safaris currently operates out of the new Papagayo Marina.
The geologic nature of this landform, in the area more properly known as Playa Blanca, can be understood when you see it from the water. Harless pointed to the east where, looking back at the peninsula, I could clearly see two landmasses that had been pushed together to form a steep, narrow ridge running right down into the Pacific. Depth-sounder readings as we trolled left no doubt that the ridge retains its austere form beneath the surface. The top of the ridge rises to within about 40 feet of the surface; it drops away on one side to about 100 feet of water and to about 250 feet on the other sides. Harless says the ridge extends into the Pacific this way for about two miles and offers productive trolling grounds with great variety.
Variety is definitely the spice of life for 14-year veteran skipper Luis Ruiz Ruiz. The captain and his two mates concentrate primarily on trolling live baits. Harless says just about all the major game fish of Costa Rica can be taken right here and down the coast to Papagayo Bay on any given day by pulling live skippies or blue runners. He ticks off a long list of targets that includes marlin of the blue, black and striped persuasion, as well as sails, wahoo, yellowfin, dorado, roosterfish, cubera, almaco jacks and still others.

Spanking is the issue at hand
Original post made by dolores ciardelli on Feb 22, 2007
on Mar 7, 2007 at 7:32 pm
Spanking seemed to be the time-out of the fifties. The principal at Green Valley Elementary used a belt or a shoe depending on the crime. At home it was a hair brush on the bare bottom and graduating to a metal spatula - caught one of those in the face causing a slight laceration.
My first son got a mild tap on the behind just to get his attention and that stopped pretty quickly, like when he was 4 - just seemed like the wrong approach and took me too long to figure out. The second son never had a spanking and I don't think any child deserves a spanking. A little anger and thought management is better than the example you set for a child by administering physical or mental abuse.
on Mar 8, 2007 at 4:00 pm
I was spanked as a child. So was my husband. So were my parents and his parents. So were my brother and my sister-in-law. None of us has ever been in jail, divorced, or in therapy for anger management, alchohol or drug abuse. And we've never beaten our children, but we did spank them.
My niece wasn't spanked as a child. She was kicked out of Girl Scouts because the leaders couldn't handle her behavior. She didn't have many friends because the parents couldn't stand to be around her (that included her aunts and uncles). She's now a teenager and uncontrollable.
You can't reason with a 2-year-old. Time out and restricting privileges work to a point. But there are some times and some circumstances that call for a swat on the botton to make the point. And it is a disservice to our children when they don't learn early in life that there are consequences for some behaviors, and those consequences will cause pain. Better a little pain as a child as a lot of pain (physical, emotional) as a teen or adult. Those are the pains that don't go away with a hug.
on Mar 9, 2007 at 1:57 pm
I was belted a lot for not doing well in school or misbehaving at home or in social gatherings. I was belted for every "F," "D," or "U" I got on my report card. And when i wouldn't stop crying, I would get belted some more to stop. I remember being spanked by a slipper when I decided to pour all the detergent in the washing machine. I got smacked with a ruler when I went into my mother's purse. I got smacked when I didn't get the answers in my homework. When i said profanities, I my dad would pull my tongue out and then I would get slapped in the head.
I could recall my father getting so angry that he flung the belt in my direction and I had to duc for cover. It got to a point where I would forget my homework a lot and I would get punished for it. I just couldn't take it anymore. One time I jumped from off the roof of my house and ran away from home.
My dad grew up with harsh physical discipline. He did the best he could. It was part of his culture. He thought this way of handling things was the best for his child. It wasn't. As I grew up, there was a lot of hate and anger that I had toward my family. There was a shit load of anger I had to unload. acceptance and forgiveness are i realized the only things to move the anger.
I personally wouldn't spank. There's got to be other ways to vent your anger and make point.

Jennifer Kincaid, on her way to a writer's workshop in the Colorado mountain town of Lake City, gets lost and is stranded by an avalanche.
Catherine Ryan-Barrett, running from the fame and fortune of her family name, wants nothing more to spend the winter alone and sequestered in her high mountain cabin. She is not prepared for a party crasher.
After spending two months together, they form an unlikely friendship that deepens even further. But after the spring thaw, Jen leaves and returns to her life in Santa Fe and to the man who wants to marry her. All she knows of the woman who rescued her is her name... Ryan.

"It's a "I remember when" feel good favourite !!"
Great audio version ... Will read it more often this way too.
The friends... The best ones in life do do stuff like that for you !!
Can't decide as Sara was able to express each character with personality really well.
It made me reminisce to earlier loves and the emotions of discovery.
It's only the first time I've read this book... and I'm looking forward to reading it a few more times too !
Congrats Gerri Hill well done and thanks :-)

"Trapped In The Snow"
Girl re-awakes Girl.
Vaguely, this book reminds me of Facades by Alex Marcoux, in that two women are brought together with no idea that later they will develop an attraction for each other.
Even though I'm probably more like Ryan, I enjoyed Jen in this audiobook.
Who else but Jen?
This audiobook was a smooth progression into a romance between two unlikely characters. It was nothing in it that hit you over the head with drama. Instead, the budding romance between the two main characters sneaked up on you, and had you pulling for them to get together. There is character development, which I love, over smack you in the face drama at every turn. Even though, there are some spots of drama in it, it is just a nice read that will have you smiling at the end of the book.
"Great Romantic Story!"
Finally, a love story written about two women falling in love that does not brush past the intimate moments! Great story and characters.
"Perfect book unlike all others on Audible."
I read this long before it came out on this website and I loved it in print, but enjoyed it so much more as an audio book.
THis book isn't really comparable to other books unless you know other Gerri Hill books. I love all her books and hope they show up on this site.
I think the scene when she is found on the side of the road and has to rescued is the best. The main character stays outside of society for a reason and this woman messes up all her plans.
The main character is perfect.
I would like to see more books along this kind of storyline.
"Story much as expected, quality of recording bad"
The story was as expected, no surprises but a good lighthearted listen to pass the time. However, the recording was of poor quality engineering wise. Posted more on that below.
As a person who comes from and live in a rural area, I enjoyed the descriptions of the scenery, although pretty different from where I live I could relate to a lot of what was said.
Hard to tell, seemed okay overall.
Not really, not that type of book.
With regard to the narrator, it was hard to tell how good she was overall because frankly the recording sucked. It was tinny pretty much the whole way through, and there were sound echos at times. It didn't seem like it was a poor download, just a poor recording engineering wise. If that could be improved then the whole audio book would benefit. For that reason I'm glad it was one that wasn't too expensive to buy, so it wasn't too bad value for money. However, I can imagine it could put a lot of people off and that would be a shame for both author and narrator.
"Lesbian Lovers"
This book is mostly about unexpected lesbian lovers, including some rather explicit parts. This should be noted, since this is not in the description. There is minimal plot, but some heavy bedroom scenes.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

By RUSS BYNUMAssociated Press
FORT STEWART, Ga. (AP) - The fate of an Army soldier charged with killing his pregnant wife may hinge on whether a military judge accepts a single medical expert's conclusion that she was strangled as sufficient evidence for a conviction.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys gave closing arguments Thursday in the court-martial of 22-year-old Pvt. Isaac Aguigui (AH-ghee-ghee) of Cashmere, Wash., who faces a life sentence if convicted of murder in the July 2011 death of Sgt. Deirdre Aguigui. Attorneys fiercely debated evidence given by medical experts in the case.
The military's autopsy was inconclusive. But a Georgia state medical examiner later determined the woman was strangled after ruling out other potential causes.
Prosecutors said a certain chokehold would have left few marks. Defense lawyers argued the theory was just the opinion of a lone expert.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Both my partner and I thought that this was a great dihedral and had wonderful moves, but not much obvious pro. It can be a frightening lead. Take a 4" cam to reduce leg shake by placing in high and left at the top (crux)
The pro up high is bad. In fact it is small and bad. The dihedral crack is mostly closed, with some iffy stoppers and some micro-cams or ball nuts. Aliens would probably be best due to their narrow width to get the best placement. So I've said some "S" routes are really "S-", but this route is "S+" The moves, while not terribly difficult, are somewhat insecure which adds to the stimulation of having little gear.

They've given a few acts the cold shoulder but The X Factor Judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Mel B warmed to the idea of the Ice Bucket Challenge...
The X Factor's got a brand new online presenter: Luke Franks is joining the team bringing us backstage exclusives from the auditions and live shows.
Luke's an award-winning radio and TV presenter with his own show on The Hits Radio. He's also one of the line up on CITV's Scrambled. He's also interviewed hundreds of pop stars including the Vamps, Union J, Katy Perry and Rixton. He even went on tour with District 3.
Luke could hardly contain his excitement when we caught up with him:
The buzz is massive already. Obviously Simon being back is huge on it's own, let alone with Cheryl there and their history. Then with Louis to stir it up and a Spice Girl to top it off, it's gonna be epic.
He's right, this year's going to EPIC.
As the Judges embark on their Quest for the Best it's a perfect time to bask in memorable X Factor clips. There have been so many incredible X Factor singers and performances that we're struggling to narrow down our faves.
After a few discussions (arguments) we're down to twenty but we need your help to choose the top ten. Let us know your most loved clip in our poll below.
New Xtra Factor presenter Sarah-Jane Crawford will be taking you through the top clips on an ITV2 show airing later this month. Hopefully it'll help temper your hunger for this year's series.
You've got until 10am Thursday 7th August 2014 to vote. Terms and conditions apply .
The quest for the best is coming back! Simon and Cheryl are returning to the Judging panel and this time they mean business.
They'll be joined by X Factor stalwart Louis Walsh and new Judge Mel B for a brand spanking new 2014 series and an EPIC face-off in the pursuit of quality. It's getting closer, and its arrival is hailed by this glorious new teaser.
It's coming soon to your TV screens. As if we weren't all excited enough already!
The auditions continue to progress. We're now at the stage where our red carpet has been rolled out for the Arena Auditions!
X Factor fans here's a unique chance to watch the room auditions being filmed, as they happen, in London in our new look holding room. It's exclusive behind-the-scenes access to see auditions months before they air on TV and a chance to watch the Judges at work.
Crowds gathered to wish this year's X Factor Judges luck as they kicked off their search to find this year's finalists.
Simon, Cheryl, Mel B and Louis wowed the fans on their way to the infamous Judges' room where they're eyeballing this year's hopefuls.
They were flanked by Dermot and new Xtra Factor host Sarah-Jane.

I'd like to share a letter to the piece of garbage that sent you a nameless note:
Dear Coward,
Please go outside and get in your car. Turn on the engine and drive.
Find the tallest building or bridge.
Proceed to summit the object and without hesitation leap off the edge and perform a swan dive.
Rid the world of your hate and otherwise useless existence.
Thank you for this selfless act on behalf of all humanity.
on Oct 4, 2013 at 3:44 pm
John: Everyone's a critic! You've made an impression.
I've tried to think about what kind of person writes crap like that, and what they're trying to accomplish with it: getting your attention I guess, and some dark strain of attempted intimidation, too. The only thing to be done is to consider it a badge of honor.
I Would file it away, in case these love letters continue -- amazing advances in criminal forensics have been made, of late.
on Oct 4, 2013 at 5:23 pm
Thanks for the comments, Kevin, Tom. Interestingly, the same cowardly troll who sent me this mindless missive sent a much more vitriolic and profanity-laden one about three years ago. . .apparently took issue with a letter I'd sent to the CC Times. I wouldn't mind if he/she had any guts, but hiding behind the USPS is seriously chickenhearted, to employ a euphemism. Anyway, since it's irrelevant drivel from a psycho stalker, I'll brush it aside like the dirt it is.

ISLAMORADA, Florida Keys -- Linda Denkert of Islamorada selected an all-chartreuse 1/4-ounce jig and made it last to win the 12th annual Backbone Lures Fish Til You Lose It backcountry fishing tournament March 4.
Guided by her husband, Captain Dave Denkert, the multi-tournament winner earned the title of grand champion guided angler and, for the second year in a row, ladies grand champion.
Denkert scored with 11 redfish and one snook release.
The tournament rules allow each angler to choose one Backbone Lures jig, and then fish until it is lost. No additional lures or jigs may be used.
In the unguided division, grand champion was Robert Collins of Naples, Fla. Collins, a top competitor in Keys tournaments and defending Rolex/IGFA Inshore Champion, used a 1/8-ounce tan-and-brown lure to score with four redfish and four snook.
The team grand champions set a new tournament record for total points. Captain Steve Thomas of Islamorada and Paul Wingrove of Tavernier, Fla., caught an amazing 55 redfish, two snook and 20 fun fish for a total of 11,800 points. The anglers used 1/4-ounce white-and-chartreuse jigs.
Thomas also was the grand champion in the guide/fishing division for professional guides who enter the tournament as anglers. He scored with 24 reds, two snook and 10 fun fish.
The junior grand champion was Drew Nobregas of Islamorada. A multi-winner of the Islamorada Junior Sailfish Tournament, Nobregas showed his backcountry mettle by using a 1/4-ounce tan-and-brown jig to score with one snook and three fun fish.
Sixty-five anglers fished from 28 boats during the backcountry challenge, scoring 162 redfish and 18 snook. Proceeds from the tournament benefit the Florida Keys Children's Shelter.

Dubbed Australia's First Lady, Dame Edna is the invention of Barry Humphries, a successful character actor in Europe and Australia; he's also an esteemed landscape painter. Some of Humphries' theatrical credits include roles in Waiting for Godot, Oliver! and Maggie May, but his most successful outings have been as Dame Edna, a character he created in 1956. Humphries was given the Order of Australia in 1982 and was endowed with an Honorary Doctorate of Griffith University in Australia in 1994. The Dame found success on Broadway during the 2000 season with her Tony Award-winning show, Dame Edna: The Royal Tour.

Police breached campaigners' rights
10:52am Friday 8th February 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
Police breached the rights of campaigners by stopping them from attending a mass rally against the Iraq war, a judge has ruled.
Up to 159 protesters left London on coaches to attend the demonstration at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire two days after the coalition forces launched their assault from the airbase in March 2003.
But they were stopped at Lechlade, a few miles short of the airfield, and sent back to the capital under police escort.
Judge David Mitchell, sitting at Central London County Court, ruled that Gloucestershire Police breached protesters' rights to freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly after hearing 12 test cases brought by campaigners.
In his 87-page ruling, the judge said the claimants' main concern was that they were unable to take part in the protest.
But he also agreed that they had to endure "humiliating circumstances" by being forced to travel back to London without being able to use the toilet.
The men and women were not allowed to use a motorway service station, with many forced to use plastic containers to relieve themselves on board the coaches.
Many also went hungry and thirsty, while others said they felt intimidated by the heavy-handedness of police, who the judge said behaved in an "oppressive manner".
By stopping the group from going to Fairfield, officers demonstrated "an interference with the right of ordinary citizens to go about their business", he added.
Describing the anti-war protesters, he said: "The vast majority of them - as this case has proved - were decent, hard-working people who had never been in trouble with the police. Surely the police officers on the ground must have realised that they were not dealing with coaches packed with hardline anarchists."

The first week of the Argentine Primera was mostly exciting, and the matches were very interesting. This week? Not so much, at least on paper. Nothing pops much at all. The biggest match will be contested between Godoy Cruz and Racing, two borderline title contenders.
Vélez Sársfield plays on Friday night against Banfield, who appear to be continuing their rebuilding process into the Clausura. They finished bottom of the table in the Apertura and were poor against Atlético Rafaela last week. Vélez don't have a history of performing much worse on the road than they do at home, and anything less than three points will be very disappointing.
Saturday's matches are an appetizer for Sunday's, as they provide little substance on their own. It's like getting spinach and artichoke dip with bread at Applebee's. The most intriguing match is probably All Boys vs. Colón de Santa Fe. All Boys are in the last relegation playoff space and need some home wins to climb out of the bottom four.
Title dark horses Lanús and Estudiantes La Plata both play away on Sunday, but they're playing two of Argentina's weakest sides, even if they're historically big. Independiente will do well to finish mid-table, while San Lorenzo look like they're headed for the drop. They were slaughtered by Lanús, while both Nicolás Bianchi and Fernando Meza picked up suspensions.
The late games on Sunday should provide a bit more intrigue. After a bad performance in Copa Libertadores mid-week, Boca Juniors manager Julio Falcioni and captain Juan Román Riquelme reportedly had a heated dispute. Rumors swirled that Falcioni would resign, but he's still the Boca manager. Unión de Santa Fe have a respectable defense and Boca have struggled to score when Román is not at his best, so a 0-0 draw would not be stunning.
That match takes place at the same time as the one between Godoy Cruz and Racing. Godoy Cruz did well to draw Vélez away on Matchday 1 and defeat Peñarol in Copa Libertadores, while Racing were disappointing in a 0-0 draw at home against Tigre last week.
Olimpo vs. Belgrano -- Friday, 5 p.m. ET
Banfield vs. Vélez Sársfield -- Friday, 7:15 p.m. ET
Newell's Old Boys vs. Argentinos Juniors -- Saturday, 3 p.m. ET
Arsenal di Sarandi vs. Atlético Rafaela -- Saturday, 5:10 p.m. ET
All Boys vs. Colón -- Saturday, 7:10 p.m. ET
Independiente vs. Lanús -- Sunday, 3 p.m. ET
San Lorenzo vs. Estudiantes -- Sunday, 3 p.m. ET
Godoy Cruz vs. Racing -- Sunday, 5:10 p.m. ET
Unión vs. Boca Juniors -- Sunday, 5:10 p.m. ET
Tigre vs. San Martín -- Monday, 7:15 p.m. ET

Karen Brown urges Nutter to debate
- Written by Eric Mayes
- Published in News Headlines
Republican challenger hand-delivers letter to mayor, says she won't 'fade away'
Republican mayoral candidate Karen Brown threw down the gauntlet Friday morning, hand delivering a letter to Mayor Michael Nutter challenging him to take part in a series of debates before the Nov. 8 election.
"I've been trying to do this since the primary," Brown said, as she waited in the second floor corridor outside the mayor's office. "In the beginning I was told that when it gets later in the general [election season] we'll talk about a debate. Then I was told, 'We'll let you know.'"
According to Brown, Nutter has avoided debating her despite repeated attempts on her part to get him to agree to at least one policy discussion. Tired of waiting, she decided to press the mayor personally rather than wait for his campaign staff to act on her suggestion.
Brown was ushered into Nutter's office at around 9:45 a.m. When she emerged a few minutes later she said the mayor accepted the letter.
Nutter's campaign spokesperson Sheila Simmons did not return phone calls Friday seeking comment.
Brown's theory is that Nutter is hoping that if he ignores her she'll simply disappear.
"I don't think he wants to give me any more legs," she said. "I think he's thinking that the least time I can get with the press or any time in front of the camera will cause me to fade away."
Asked if she planned on fading away, she replied with a sharp shake of her head: "Nah."
The plan formally outlined in her letter suggested five debates at events throughout the city.
"If it's in their neighborhood, people will come," she said, then quoted the letter: "I have chosen two venues — Southwark School in South Philly and Boys Latin Charter School in West Philly and I welcome you to select venues in Center City, North Philly and the Northeast. Now more than ever it's important for members of our communities to have a choice. I look forward to hearing from you and giving our voters a fair choice in November."
She added that she's open to pretty much any forum as long as the public gets compare the two candidates.
"I just want to get him in a place where I can discuss policy," she said.
She characterized Nutter as "hostile" toward her saying that he has shushed her at several of his speaking engagements when she's tried to ask questions. At one point, as she stood in the corridor outside Nutter's office a security guard tried to move her along until a member of Nutter's staff told him it was OK.
Brown, once a Democratic candidate for city council, has taken an interesting route to the Republican nomination and now appears to be the focus of a coalition of forces that oppose Nutter. They include the Republican establishment headed by the party's general counsel Michael Meehan; renegade Republican and former candidate for the Republican nomination John Featherman and former Mayor John F. Street, a Democrat.
Nutter is expected to win in the predominately Democratic city.
However, his showing in the May primary was somewhat less than expected when Democratic challenger T. Milton Street garnered about 24 percent of the vote compared to Nutter's 76 percent.
The race is complicated by vocal opposition from the city's firefighter's union and simmering tensions between the mayor and the city's municipal unions, which have worked for his entire term without a contract.
In addition to Brown, he faces an independent challenger as well, Diop Olugbala.

When asked about the Deadspin.com blog post from Tuesday that showed foot-fetish videos of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his wife, Michelle, Jets head coach Rex Ryan didn't deny that the star of the videos is his wife.
The videos, which reportedly are a couple years old, show a woman showing off her feet in shoes, stockings or barefoot. In one video, a voice that sounds like Ryan can be heard.
Ryan addressed the issue during his meetings with the media, though he didn't offer any additional information. When asked if he and his wife made the videos, he said, "… This is a personal matter and I'm not going to discuss it."
The entire Jets organization publicly supported Ryan on Wednesday.
"Woody (Johnson, the Jets' owner) and I have met with Rex," GM Mike Tannenbaum said in a statement released by the team. "This is a personal matter, and he has our full support."
To a man, the players professed their loyalty to Ryan and said the latest off-field incident surrounding the team this season wouldn't be a distraction.
(It is) definitely not a distraction," QB Mark Sanchez said, according to the team. "It's a personal matter with Rex, but we're behind him 100 percent and it won't affect our team."
Ryan discussed the issue with the players at a team meeting Wednesday morning.
"He basically came in there and said, 'You guys might know about the situation; some of you guys might not know,'" CB Darrelle Revis said, according to the Newark Star Ledger. "'You'll find out later on today. Right now, I feel embarrassed, but it's something personal with me. We need to focus on Chicago.' "
The NFL reportedly considers the issue a "personal matter" and has no plans to investigate further.

A traffic infraction led to arrests for two men in Port Charlotte Tuesday.
Robert Allen Woods, 26, of Port Charlotte, failed to stop at the intersection of Gertrude Avenue and Aaron Street around 2 p.m.
A deputy pulled the vehicle over. The deputy went to talk to Woods and noticed the smell of fresh marijuana coming from the car.
Woods allegedly explained he'd been with friends who were smoking pot earlier in the day.
Backup arrived at the traffic stop and deputies asked Woods and his passenger, 19-year-old Travis Gordon Campbell, of Port Charlotte, to step out of the vehicle.
As deputies were searching Campbell, they allegedly found a large bulge under his shirt. Investigators say the teen then pulled himself out of his shirt and started running.
In the process, Campbell dropped a large, clear plastic bag and his shirt. Deputies caught him after a short chase.
He allegedly told deputies he sells marijuana so he can make a little money.
Deputies say they also found an expandable baton, which was fully extended, in the driver's door of the vehicle.
Both men were taken to jail. Campbell is charged with Sale and Delivery of Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana Over 20 Grams, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia and Resisting an Officer. He was released on a $7,000 bond. It's his 19th booking into the jail.
Woods was charged with Carrying a Concealed Weapon and posted a $1,000 bond. It was his sixth trip to jail.

Towing is underway for vehicles that were left on metro Atlanta roadways during the storm earlier this week.
The day began with more than 2,000 abandoned cars on city streets and highways. By 10 p.m., less than 200 cars remained on the roads, according to state officials. Those vehicles now face towing after a 9 p.m. deadline passed on Thursday.
Authorities said the cars are being towed because it's a public safety issue as more drivers are expected to hit the road on Friday morning.
"Some of them are still left to where they're too close to the highway and could cause other accidents," said Sgt. Kendrick Lowe of the Georgia State Patrol. "We'd rather get them to a safe place where people can recover their vehicles like they left them."
The governor's office told FOX 5 that the state will pay for the cost of towing, but only if the tow is directed by the state on the interstates and state routes.
If your car is missing, authorities ask you to call 511 and have your tag number ready.
According to GDOT, two staging areas for transport are open:
• Drivers who left their vehicles on I-20 and I-285 west should report to the Westlake MARTA station (parking area), 80 Anderson Ave. SW, Atlanta.
• Drivers who left their vehicles on I-75, the top end of I-285 and the Downtown Connector (I-75/I-85) should report to Mount Paran Church (parking area), 2055 Mount Paran Road, Atlanta.
Once there, drivers will be transported by official personnel in a 4-wheel-drive to their vehicle. There will be fuel available for vehicles that ran out of gas as well as the capability to jump off a dead battery.
At 9 p.m., GSP began a 'tag and tow' removal process for vehicles remaining on Interstate Highways 285, all interstates inside the Perimeter, Interstate 75 from I-285 to I-575 on the northwest side and on Interstate Highway 20 from I-285 to Six Flags Hill on the west side. After 9:00 p.m. owners should call 511 for information on their vehicle's location as GSP will be at the Department of Transportation Management Center (TMC).
If a vehicle already has been towed for safety reasons, officials will have a database to help motorists determine at which impound facility it is located. Authorities will provide transportation to the facility. Motorists should bring car keys and driver's license to check-in.
Fulton County Emergency Management Agency tweeted this photo of where to find your towed car:
Atlanta, DeKalb to waive impound fees
The Atlanta Police Department announced that they have towed less than 25 vehicles that were impeding traffic as of Friday afternoon. They stated in a news release sent to FOX 5 News that they will begin towing other vehicles left on the side of the road on Sunday starting at noon.
The Atlanta Police Department will waive vehicle impound fees as a courtesy to our citizens for any vehicle towed as a result of the winter storm.
In a release sent to FOX 5 News, they stated:If your vehicle was impounded by the Atlanta Police Department, the Property Control Unit will give you a credit form which will include the case number and vehicle information. The owner will then present this fee credit form to the wrecker service and retrieve their vehicle at no charge. The Atlanta Police Property Unit is located at 3493 Donald Lee Hollowell Pkwy. 404-546-4330 The hours are 8:00a.m. to 8:00 p.m.This does not include ALL Impounds, ONLY those associated with the Winter Weather.
DeKalb County officials say they've also reached out to towing companies operating in the county and have asked them to waive fees for drivers who became stranded.Officials say drivers who abandoned vehicles in DeKalb County have until midnight Friday to reclaim them from towing lots. Five companies the county has established partnerships with include: Cymil; Brown and Brown; South DeKalb; Statewide and S&W.
The general public can go to atowinc.com on the "Who Towed" tab OR whotowedme.com and enter their vehicle information to see if A Tow has towed it to one of their lots. Please have your TAG or VIN number, but there are also generic ways to search. This will only include those towed to an A Tow lot.
Johns Creeks says they will start removing cars from the right of way starting on Monday.
The following was released Friday by the city of Kennesaw:
The City of Kennesaw is offering to reimburse costs incurred by individuals whose vehicles were towed because they were abandoned and creating a hazardous condition following the Tuesday, January 28 snowstorm. The tow had to have occurred from 11 a.m. Tuesday to 9 p.m. Thursday.Vehicle owners must come in person to the Kennesaw Police Department, 2539 J.O. Stephenson Avenue Monday-Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Owners should be prepared to present their vehicle registration and drivers license as well as a copy of the receipt for the towing fee. Police staff will verify the location and cost of the tow. The city will then process the request and mail a check to the individual."The Police Department has consistently maintained a policy not to reimburse towing costs for vehicles creating a hazard, but due to the unusually extreme circumstances the storm caused, we will make an exception and repay costs incurred," said Chief Bill Westenberger. "Because Mayor Mathews declared a state of emergency, the city will be seeking reimbursement from the state of Georgia for storm-related expenses including these towing fees."

Judicial clerkships are prestigious post-graduate jobs that last for a term (usually one or two years) and provide an excellent launch pad for positions in esteemed law firms, with the Department of Justice, and as a U.S. Attorney, prosecutor, or public defender - just to name a few.
The basic truth about judicial clerkships? Every judge is different. Every clerkship is different. Your experience as a judicial clerk will depend upon the judge for whom and the court in which you work. However, all clerks enjoy similar end results. Clerkships are so highly regarded within the profession that law firms often give former clerks practice year and salary credits. This is especially true of federal clerkships. Clerks bring valuable knowledge and experience to their post-clerkship employers on "behind the curtain" procedures - knowledge and experience which other graduates may never acquire.
Clerkships are available at both the federal and state levels. Federal court clerks serve judges on Article III courts, as well as administrative or speciality courts formed under Article I.
The best way to secure a clerkship? Plan ahead! Whether you submit one application or fifty, they take time to prepare (for everyone involved), and some of the more sought-after qualifications cannot be earned overnight. Here are a few suggestions for improving your chances of landing a clerkship:
Federal clerkships are the most competitive positions and require exceptional achievement in law school as well as great letters of recommendation. State court clerkships are an excellent opportunity that should not be overlooked. Students will need good grades and excellent recommendations when applying to state court judges, too. Most judges want to see journal experience. Keep in mind that both federal and state court judges can be rather unpredictable in their hiring - each judge will have his or her own particular criteria.
Since 2004, federal judges have had the option of participating in the Federal Law Clerk Hiring Plan ("Hiring Plan"), which mandates when students may submit clerkship applications, as well as when the judges may conduct interviews and extend offers. Under the Hiring Plan, applications are sent to judges no earlier than June following the 2L year. However, clerkship applicants will still need to finalize application materials early in the spring semester of their 2L year. Alumni may apply for clerkships at any time.
Many judges in the Southeast do not adhere to the Hiring Plan. Several begin seeking clerks in February of the candidates' 2L year, and some even earlier. These judges will move early and hire quickly. In contrast, many judges in the Northeast strictly adhere to the Federal Hiring Plan and post and accept applications through the Online System for Clerkship Application and Review ("OSCAR"). As a student applicant, it is important to know whether or not the judges in whom you are interested follow the Hiring Plan.
As the name implies, the Federal Law Clerk Hiring Plan does not apply to state court judges. Judicial internship opportunities arise throughout the year, and students are eligible to participate following their 1L academic year. Post-graduate employment opportunities tend to arise during 3L year. The Judicial Job Clerk Fair, held in January, is an excellent opportunity to secure judicial internships and post-graduate employment with Georgia judges. Throughout the year, students should check Symplicity for posted openings. Courts often post openings on their websites, so students should bookmark the websites of the courts in which they are interested and check them frequently.
