"The Bourne Legacy" is the story of a man who needs some medication and spends the whole movie trying to get it. This is good medicine. As the film opens, he dives naked into a river in Alaska, brings up a sealed tube from the bottom, takes a little blue pill and a little green pill, wraps himself in a thermal blanket by his fire, then backpacks across a mountain range while fighting off wolves. Some of the climbing involves steep walls without use of rope or pitons.
Aaron Cross is not a superhero. Like Jason Bourne before him, he's an agent of The Program, a secret U.S. intelligence project that involves modifying the human genome to produce men with incredible physical and mental agility, and the skill set of an Eagle Scout with nine pounds of merit badges.
Cross is played by Jeremy Renner with the kind of focus and detached courage he showed in "The Hurt Locker." Because he isn't referred to by name for a long time, and because everybody keeps saying Bourne is still "out there," and because I had not seen the trailer, I wondered for awhile if perhaps Renner was now playing Bourne, but the film finally, mercifully, produces a wanted poster showing Matt Damon, which clears that up.
The movie spends a lot of time in a Manhattan command center for The Program, which is chockablock with computer screens and communications equipment, and can apparently tap into any surveillance camera in the world. In this room we meet the masterminds of The Program, grim veterans played by Scott Glenn, Stacy Keach and Albert Finney, and headed by Edward Norton. They spend a lot of time in each other's faces, trading jargon and spycraft. These men have decided to terminate The Program by giving all their expert agents a triangular yellow pill that causes them to bleed from the right nostril and die. Always the right nostril.
After Cross eludes a drone equipped with a missile in Alaska and fights off more wolves, he makes contact with Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), who has "a Ph.D. and two post-doctoral fellowships" and knows all about the pills. Now there is the best sequence of violence in the movie, which involves a lab technician played by Zeljko Ivanek. Then Cross and Shearing join forces in a desperate quest to stay one jump ahead of the masters of The Program while traveling around the globe to Manila, where the medications are manufactured. The Rachel Weisz character spends a lot more time on screen than females are often allowed in action movies, even though she isn't used for sex appeal. Her performance stands up strongly beside Renner's.
These meds are a virus that alters genes. You can take booster pills from time to time, or with a new iteration you can be "locked in," which is what Cross seeks. He has become accustomed to possessing incredible muscle and mind power. One can only guess what other benefits the pills bestow; to my knowledge Cross never eats or drinks during the entire film.
"The Bourne Legacy" is always gripping in the moment. The problem is in getting the moments to add up. I freely confess that for at least the first 30 minutes I had no clear idea of why anything was happening. The dialogue is concise, the cinematography is arresting and the plot is a murky muddle.
There are three major chase scenes — by car, by parkour and by motorcycle. Parkour, you recall, is the art of running up walls and dancing over rooftops, and apparently comes along with the pills. The motorcycle chase takes place in Manila, after Cross and Shearing steal a cycle, the police give chase, and one particularly determined undercover cop with dark aviator glasses persists beyond all reason. Since he doesn't have a single word of dialogue, it's impossible to say if he has any idea how important Cross and Shearing are, but he keeps coming like the Energizer Bunny.
This chase lasts way too long. I glanced twice at my watch. It goes up and down stairs and down the middle lanes of expressways, and causes countless crashes, and is edited in that frustrating style where you see fragments of action but don't always have the whole picture. At its conclusion — poof! — the wind goes out of the picture's sails, and a final scene sets up a sequel. I wonder how long Bourne's name will stay in the series titles. After all, he's still Out There.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Like most teams in Major League Baseball, home is where the Atlanta Braves have done most of their damage in 2013. Entering this monstrosity of a five-game series, Atlanta had gone 23-8 in the friendly confines of Turner Field while managing to at least break even if not win every home series this year.
That changed Thursday night with a 4-3 loss to the Mets Thursday night in which Atlanta had 13 hits but went 3-13 with runners in scoring position. The Braves now have a 7-1-4 series record at home this year.
It was also a rough night for Braves starter Mike Minor, who has unquestionably been Atlanta's best pitcher this year. Minor turned back the clock a year, giving up three home runs in a game and allowing four earned runs in back to back starts for the first time since late June of 2012.
Two of those homers tonight came off the bat of David Wright, who launched a first inning solo shot to get the scoring going then followed it up with one down the line to cut Atlanta's lead to 3-2 in the top of the fourth inning.
Down 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Mets starter Jon Niese was greeted rudely by Atlanta's bats as Tyler Pastornicky, Jason Heyward, and Freddie Freeman singled consecutively to load the bases for Justin Upton. Down in the count 0-2, Upton broke his bat on a single to right that plated Pastornicky and tied the game at one.
Atlanta used back-to-back singles from Chris Johnson and Gerald Laird to plate two runs in the bottom of the third, making it a 3-1 game. The single was one of three hits from Laird, who had an impressive night at the plate.
After Wright's second homer in the fourth, pinch hitter Andrew Brown deposited a Minor slider into the stands in left center to tie things at three apiece in the top of the fifth. Back-to-back doubles from Omar Quintanilla and Josh Satin scored the deciding run and chased Minor from the game in the top of the seventh.
Minor finished with a line of 6 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2BB, and 6 K. Of note, Chris Johnson had another rough day at third base with three errors. Luckily, none of them led to runs. Also, Tyler Pastornicky made the best of his starting opportunity by recording three hits. While the team figures out if Dan Uggla needs LASIK surgery, Pastornicky will likely get more time at second base.
Up next: Atlanta will hit the road for a five-game road trip that begins tomorrow night in Milwaukee with a three-game series.

Few cities in South America share the ambiance, lifestyle and amenities that make Buenos Aires so endearing.

I've been a GWAR fan since Scumdogs first came out. I remember it well, because that was the first EVER cassette tape I bought as a kid. I believe I was only 10yrs old at the time and after listening to it, my mom found it and threw it away in disgust.
Isn't that the point of GWAR though? To disgust you in a way that when it boils down to it, becomes comedic?
GWAR gets a bad rep because they've been blown off numerous times as a "gimmick band" because of their costumes. Slipknot is a gimmick band, GWAR is talent with some costumes thrown in to create atmosphere (hell, they have a background story explaining that they're aliens that came to earth on a giant maggot).
GWAR is often times critisized for their music. Not only because most of it is extremely offensive and obscene, but also because they "lack talent". While there's quite a few songs that overall in their career, I really didn't like, they still make some GREAT metal, punk, hardcore, and hell…even country.
This album, along with their previous release, Violence Has Arrived will prove to the critics that they are more then a comedic band that does off the wall songs.
Their 2001 release, VHA along with this new album, show a more mature GWAR (is there even such a thing as "mature" and GWAR? haha). What I mean by that, is that there aren't anymore "comedy" songs, no more "country" songs, no more "obscure songs by the Morality Squad", etc etc etc. This album and their last album are considerably toned down from offensive content and concentrate on what matters most, THE MUSIC.
War Party put a smile to my face…these guys STILL rock. War party is a nicely put together meshing of punk and hardcore songs with some good metal in the mix as well.
Allthough some of their previous albums were actually pretty bad,it was mainly due to GWAR being "all over the place". Take a look at "Carnival of Chaos" for example. It has some good tracks, but many of them can't be taken seriously and quite a few of them are "experimental", many times not even using lead vocals "Oderus Urungus" for the vocal work and using other "spin-off" GWAR members like "Techno Destructo" and such.
GWAR is fun, no doubt about it. While they have "matured" over their last effort along with this one (concentrating on very well written music over gimmicks), I do kinda miss those good old days where you'd have Oderus singing about raping little kids (complete with "baby crying" sound bite in the background). It almost seems like there are 2 different versions of GWAR…
1)the over the top, offensive, "experimental" GWAR
2)the down to business, wonderfully thought out, music experts
…All in all, you really can't lose with either version of GWAR, but this album is number 2 on that breakdown.
GREAT ALBUM, if you like it, also pick up 2001's "Violence Has Arrived".

Prominent OrlandoAttorney Dan Newlin has represented hundreds of veterans, mostly ininjury-related claims, but recently, he threw his support behind Home At Last, aspecial project of West Orange Habitat for Humanity.
Founded in 2007 byWilliam C. Criswell, Home At Last aims to present at least one mortgage-free,special needs home every year, to a veteran who has been permanently disabledin the Iraq or Afghanistan wars.
And, Home At Last isjust the kind of deserving project Newlin, always in search of a worthy cause,wants to contribute to. He gets somber, quietly reflective, when speaking ofU.S. veterans who have been severely wounded and return home with very fewsupport systems in place.
"The men and women whosign up to serve in our military take huge risks, in their personal lives, sothat we can live a very free and superb life here in the United States," saidNewlin. "Anyone that takes such risks and sustains serious catastrophic injuryas a result of their own personal desire to provide us freedom, deserves theattention of all of us, especially those who own businesses."
The challenges forreturning veterans are many and varied and, in particular, special housingneeds loom large among those who are permanently disabled. Moreover, federal,state and local governments provide inadequate support to help veteranstransition from military service to the civilian work force.
Criswell, a World War IIveteran said, he was troubled by the lack of special needs housing for the"tremendous number of veterans returning with serious permanent disabilitiesaround 2007." He was so concerned that he approached West Orange Habitat forHumanity which assists in building homes for deserving people and pitched hisidea of mortgage-free, accessible homes for combat wounded disabled vets.
"The Board of Directorsof Habitat readily agreed and the first home was built in 2008," he said.
To date, Home At Lasthas presented four homes to veterans and their families, with a fifth under construction.
Criswell said, the homesare completed entirely by donations and in-kind contributions of constructionlabor and materials. He responds cautiously as to whether Home At Last canbuild more than one home a year, as much depends on fundraising. But, futureplans of Home At Last will be the subject of discussion among its majorstakeholders next month, he said.
"We concentrate on thefamily, on a vet with a family and are determined that homes will be turnedover without a mortgage," Criswell added.
One veteran who knowswhat that's like is U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Jeffery Kelly, who servedeleven-and-a half years, including two tours in Iraq, before being injured by aRocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) and mortar fire, nearly five years ago.
Kelly, who returned homein 2008, with a severely injured leg, in extreme chronic pain and a braininjury said, it was a challenge at first. He had to figure out how to deal withhis medical issues, how to get around and dealing with daily life, generally.
Then, Home At Laststepped in and Kelly, his wife Michelle, and their two young daughters, Jadeand Lindsey, received the keys to their new home in 2011.
"Its been absolutelyamazing and like a dream come true," he said of his new digs in Oakland. "Ithas taken a huge stress off of the family, just knowing that we have a place tolive and a home in which I can get around and we can grow."
While Kelly is largelyconfined to a wheel chair and could only walk short distances with the aid of acane, he won't change a thing, he says.
"As I look back oneverything, my years of service and think about how I have grown, I have lovedevery minute of it," a smiling Kelly said. "I would do it again if I could."
And perhaps this is whatmotivates Newlin, who laments the modest support for returning vets, "many ofwhom have given their legs, their arms and in some instances their eyesight, incombat."
"There is nothing betterthat we can do as a community and society to provide support for our returningveterans," he said. "Home At Last is a wonderful organization and quitefrankly, it is a great honor for me to support this project."
The Law Offices of Dan Newlin &Partners, located at 7335 W. Sand Lake Road in Orlando,plan on expanding their services, in order to assist more veterans in thefuture.

360 degree pano of Calgary taken from Calgary Tower observation deck in September 2011, using Nokia N8.
The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

Ayana Dunning paved the way with a double-double as the West Virginia women's basketball team closed out a 55-52 win over USF, Wednesday, at the USF Recreation Center.
The Mountaineers (16-6, 6-3) came out of a 25-22 halftime deficit and went on a 10-0 run to pull away 32-27 over the Bulls (12-11, 4-5) with 15:27 left. USF battled back to make it a one-point game at the 12:39 mark, but WVU was able to maintain control with six-straight free throws and back-to-back field goals. The Mountaineers held onto an 11-point deficit three times in the second half, with the final time at the 3:43 mark.
An Andrell Smith 3-pointer capped a USF 9-0 run down to the 1:02 mark, making it a 2-point game. The Bulls' late comeback attempt fell short as the Mountaineer defense held tight and Asya Bussie came down with a rebound, keeping USF from having a final possession.
Up 11-2 in the first half, the Mountaineers held the Bulls without a field goal until the 11:43 mark when Smith hit a three, which sparked a 13-2 run to allow USF control. A Taylor Palmer 3-pointer kept WVU in the game, 16-15, but the Bulls out-scored the Mountaineers 10-6 into halftime.
Dunning recorded 15 points and pulled down a career-high 17 rebounds. Christal Caldwell followed Dunning's lead with 10 points and seven rebounds. Linda Stepney added nine points and dished out four assists. The Mountaineers out-rebounded the Bulls, 51-28.
USF was led by Jasmine Wynne with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Inga Orekova added another 10 points.
Shooting was cold for both teams as WVU shot 32.6 percent (15-46) and USF was 30.2 percent (16-53) from the field. The Mountaineers sunk only a pair of 3-pointers, while the Bulls had 5-of-17 attempts (29.4%). Free throws helped both teams as WVU converted 23-of-36 (63.9%) and USF made 15-of-22 (68.2%).
The Mountaineers return home to continue BIG EAST play on Saturday, Feb. 4 against Louisville. Tipoff is set for 4 p.m. and live stats and streaming of the game will be available online at MSNsportsNet.com. The game will also be broadcast live on WVPBS.

City Information
Airport transfers
Aix-en-Provence is known as the "City of a Thousand Fountains"—but more than that, it is a city overflowing with 2,000 years of history. Discover Aix's ancient Roman roots, or trace the inspirations for painter Paul Cézanne, who followed his muse throughout the city and its surroundings. Our hotel puts you at the heart of the pedestrian-friendly Old Town, close to historic landmarks and the lively Provençal markets. The bustling city of Marseilles or the hilltop villages of the Luberon—considered among the 100 most beautiful in France—are also just a day-trip away
Available only with the Air Inclusive Package.
Single supplement: $195
Day 1 - Depart U.S. / Fly overnight to Marseille
Depart the U.S. for France. The particulars of your arrival overseas are detailed with your flight itinerary and airline tickets.
Day 2 - Arrive in Marseille / Begin your Pre-Trip Extension
Upon arrival at Marseille (MRS) Airport, claim your luggage and clear customs. If your luggage is lost, fill in a PIR form before leaving the customs area—VBT representatives are not allowed into the customs area. Make sure that your VBT luggage tags are attached to your bags. This helps the representative identify you.
After exiting customs, enter the arrival hall and look for your VBT representative or driver, who will be holding a VBT sign. Your representative will welcome you to France and arrange for your transfer via taxi or van to your Aix-en-Provence hotel (approximately 45 minutes, depending on traffic). Please verify with your VBT Trip Leader the time of your transfer at the end of your trip from your Paris hotel to the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. Important: If you are delayed in meeting your VBT representative at the Marseille Airport, please call 04 42 93 01 44 from within France. Outside of France, call +33 442 93 01 44.
VBT provides you with City Information in your Final Travel Booklet that includes information and recommendations on what to see and do in Aix-en-Provence.
Use the rest of the day to relax or begin exploring the city.
Day 3 - Independent exploration of Aix-en-Provence
After breakfast, spend the day exploring this intriguing city on your own. As you begin your day, perhaps visit some of the museums, such as the Musée Granet or the Musée des Tapisseries. Aix is known as the "City of a Thousand Fountains," and you'll discover why when you stroll on your way to the Old Town along the Cours Mirabeau, where most of them flow and cascade.
Discover the architectural and cultural treasures of Aix-en-Provence simply by walking around this beautiful town. Some of the smallest streets of the ancient Roman town have kept their evocative names, offering a glimpse into the city's 2,000-year-old past. Dine on typical fare prepared with fragrant herbs from the hillsides, listen to the soft murmur of ancient fountains, take in the bright colors and flavors in the markets, or linger with locals on crowded café terraces. Venture into the countryside to experience the beauty of Aix landscapes immortalized by Cézanne.
Day 4 - Independent exploration of Aix-en-Provence / Join VBT Air Package guests
Take another day to discover Aix-en-Provence. VBT Air Package guests arrive throughout the day.

Record rain this October has saturated many fields and roads, forcing one county to close its gravel roads altogether to truck traffic.
"We've had around four inches of rain in some places, the last four days." says Jerry Samuelson, emergency manager.
McKenzie County is saturated with oil traffic, but excessive rain has brought some activity to a complete halt.
"So you take that amount of rain, take that amount of truck traffic, it just really compounds things." says Samuelson.
Rain has forced county leaders to close all gravel roads in McKenzie County to trucks and trailers.
From Friday until Tuesday evening, all vehicles weighing 12-thousand pounds or more were not allowed on these rural routes.
"We've had reports the other day where our school buses, couldn't even get to pick up the kids, when you're loaded down 80,000 pounds, we've seen ruts as much as 8-10 inches deep in the road, it makes the road impassable." says Samuelson.
With 1200 miles of gravel roads, it can be hard to track down law-breakers.
But, if caught, the heavier the truck, the heftier the fine.
"If they're loaded and they're out there, 80,000 lbs, the fine is about 13,600 dollars."
On the other hand, it might cost some oil companies more to wait.
"There's just so much activity, lots of phone calls from oil companies wanting to get out on the road, it's hard to hold them back."
Samuelson says they do make special concessions for trucks who might lose a frack and have to keep going, but unless drivers start taking more care, it's not going to be worth it, in the long haul.
"Four inches of rain really tore those roads up again, so we need to get the word out, and have a stiff penalty, so that people realize we mean business in McKenzie County, and we want to take care of our roads for the long term." says Samuelson.
According to McKenzie County Sheriff John Fulwider, at least 11 tickets were given to truck drivers on gravel roads.
This is the first time they have used enforcement--not just warnings for this type of offense.
The gravel roads were opened at 6:00 PM Tuesday night.

Hollywood's queen of home restoration, Diane Keaton, has listed a Beverly Hills Spanish Colonial Revival at $11,995,000.
The Oscar-winning Keaton buys and refurbishes Los Angeles-area homes. This one, originally designed in 1927 by architect Ralph Flewelling, has been painstakingly restored.
There are seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms in 7,145 square feet. The master suite has dual bathrooms. There is a separate guest suite. The home has a pool, and the yard has pathways lined with olive trees. Think classy.
Keaton, 63, whose acting breakthrough came in Woody Allen films -- "Annie Hall" (1977), "Play It Again, Sam" (1972), "Sleeper" (1973) -- also appeared in the "Godfather" movies, "Father of the Bride" (1991), "The First Wives Club" (1996) and many TV and other feature films.
Keaton's acting career has been interspersed with her home- and building-preservation efforts. She is a member of America's National Trust for Historic Preservation.
She told Preservation magazine in 2003, "Houses enrich our lives with their history and the beauty of the architecture or their eccentricity, the details. You have to try to preserve some originals."
Aileen Comora and Paul Lester, both of Westside Estate Agency in Beverly Hills, share the listing, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
Actor to part with Sierra Madre gem
Howard Newly, the character whom actor Kevin Dunn plays on ABC's " Samantha Who?," is a man of few words, unless it's about chickens, and then he has plenty to say. Now Dunn has dropped the price of his Sierra Madre house from $1,148,000 to $1,075,000 -- not exactly chicken feed.
The two-level home was built in 1890 and has three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms in a charm-filled 2,621 square feet. Some materials in the home were rescued from a historic local monastery -- the Passionist Fathers' retreat.
There are built-in banquettes in the front and entertainment rooms. The living room has a wood-burning stove. There is a downstairs library. The country kitchen offers an O'Keefe & Merritt six-burner double-oven stove, a butcher-block counter from a local fudge shop and a breakfast area with built-in booths and benches. The master bedroom has a fireplace, and there are mountain views from the master balcony, backyard and office deck.
The home has a saltwater pool and spa, and the 12,297-square-foot lot includes a grape vine, two vegetable gardens and fruit trees. There is also a soundproof music studio in the backyard.
Dunn, 53, renovated the property from an original 900-square-foot cottage. He has owned it for almost two decades. He learned carpentry in Chicago, where he worked in theater for more than a dozen years.
Dunn played Mark Nash in the feature film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" (2008). He has appeared in 25 episodes of "Samantha Who?" and has been seen in "All the King's Men" (2006), "Boston Legal" (2006) and two episodes of "Prison Break" in 2007.
Reni Rose and Patty Berger at Prudential California Realty, Sierra Madre, share the listing.
King's son sells a Malibu home
Dexter Scott King, the second son of slain civil rights leader the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., just sold an ocean-view Malibu house for $1.99 million. It had been listed at $2,595,000.
The architectural home has four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms in 4,705 square feet. King lived in the home for several years, but it had been most recently used as a rental.

New Tapas eatery coming downtown
UPDATE: Sangria's on Market Square opens Oct. 7, 2009. Lunch from 11:30-2:30 and reopens at 5 p.m. for dinner. 865-951-0165
* A new Tapas eatery on Market Square will serve up authentic Spanish cuisine when it opens this fall.
Gus Carol plans to open Sangria's at 35 Market Square where he and his family will serve lunch and dinner.
Carol is relocating his restaurant from Miami to Knoxville, where his sister has lived for several years.
"I've always heard about Market Square. It's a beautiful place. We're very excited," said Carol, who is executive chef. "We'll have good, affordable food."
In addition to Spanish fare, the 49-seat restaurant will specialize in the tasty beverage Sangria, including red, white, champagne and even orange for football Saturdays.
The restaurant, which will have a medieval tavern atmosphere, is expected to be open by Sept. 1.

Cyber villains aren't waiting
From the perspective of the technology industry, all this political bickering comes across as dangerously parochial. The Internet, after all, knows no geographic borders, and the bad guys are all too willing to take advantage of the nationalist tunnel vision that all countries exhibit, including the U.S. While the government bickers over whether the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Defense should take the lead in cyber security, villains unknown are planning...well, we don't really know what they're planning, do we?
News: Government alarm over cyber attacks validated by terrorists
By calling for greater protection for critical infrastructure such as power plants and water treatment plants via better communication between private industry and government, President Obama is doing all he can, given Congressional intransigence. Even if the President gets what he's asking for, though, there's still a serious concern that it won't be enough, since there's no way to know if an attacker is targeting the critical infrastructure on the President's list.
After all, there are many different types of potential attackers with many different possible motives. Whether they are cyber criminals interested in financial gain, countries such as Iran or China mounting cyber espionage attacks, intellectual property thieves focusing on industrial espionage, or terrorists interested more in wreaking havoc than on any particular target, no single line of defense is sufficient. Furthermore, a cyber attacker might be a country, a company, a decentralized group of hackers (potentially spanning several countries) or even a single individual.
Their potential targets are similarly varied. A single, high-value target such as a power plant may come under attack, but protecting such infrastructure is an obvious priority. The result is that such attacks are difficult to mount, and thus are likely to be relatively rare. Far more common are attacks of convenience. Just as a burglar will avoid houses with alarm signs and instead seek homes with overgrown lawns sporting piles of newspapers, cyber criminals don't really care whose money they steal. Most dangerous of all are the random terrorist attacks that are simply looking to cause mayhem.
Let's also avoid the mistake of assuming that all cyber targets are technology targets. Perhaps the most effective cyber attacks have psychological targets that outstrip the intrinsic technology value of the target. For example, an attacker may not be able to take down Hoover Dam, but what if he could hack the Mars Rover Curiosity? The result would be outrage dismay, and anger-which may in fact be the intended goal all along.

Remember when computer security was simple? Advice was as easy as, "Don't boot with a floppy drive in your A: drive" and "Don't enable the macro to run." Boy, do I long for the days of yesteryear.
[ RogerGrimes's column is now a blog! Get the latest IT security news from the Security Adviser blog. ]
More and more, application vulnerabilities are being announced every day, whether it's something attacking Apple QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, YouTube videos, Adobe Acrobat, or Microsoft Office. And telling people not to open untrusted content is like telling them not to open e-mail from people they don't know. It's not bad advice, but you can't stop there.
You've got mail
On the "don't open e-mail from people you don't know" recommendation, malware has been using e-mail address books for nearly a decade now. Malicious spam and e-mail often comes from our friends, parents, and coworkers. The better advice is not to open e-mail that is unexpected, seems out of character for the sender, and contains links or content to click. When in doubt, e-mail or call the sender and confirm that they really meant to send it. Or do like me, and just delete it when there's a shadow of a doubt. I can't trust my friends and associates to thoroughly validate the stuff they send me. To them it's a cute little animated GIF or a YouTube video of a hot girl dripping barbeque sauce over a less hot car. To me, it's probably malware. It's just the way my mind works.
All these years later, you still can't tell people to open e-mails from only people they trust. Targeted spearphishing is becoming more common. You can't count on mispellings (sic) and bad grammar to alert you to a phishing attack. They have your name and your interest [for example, your bank account, Better Business Bureau complaint, 401(k) provider, and so on]. I won't give you my bank logon info, but there's a good chance that I'll respond, strongly, to my Dell laptop warranty expiring earlier than what I paid for or object to an unauthorized change in my 401(k) portfolio. Those malware guys are sneaky.

Today, the frequent advice you'll get, in the face of application malware, is to not open content from or visit untrusted Web sites. That is so 20th century! Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the last few years, security article after security article has been detailing how malware is being served up by the Web sites we trust most. It's the NFL Web site, travel site, news site, political gabfest site, and blog that we all love. They get compromised, we visit, and we get infected.

Veteran BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall has been charged with three offences of indecent assault.
The 82-year-old former It's A Knockout presenter was detained earlier, sources said.
Lancashire Police said a suspect was arrested at his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Hall has been a familiar face and voice in British broadcasting for half a century and this year was awarded the OBE in the New Year Honours. His eccentric and erudite football match summaries have made him a cult figure on BBC Radio 5 Live.
