Can We Prevent Breast Cancer?
October 4, 2012 at 1:18 pm , by Amelia Harnish
During one of her recent volunteer shifts at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, AnneMarie Ciccarella (right) visited a woman who was recovering from a mastectomy. "It was the same bed in the same room I woke up in six years ago to the day," she says. "Stuff like that really gets to me: When are we going to figure this out? How can we end this?"
Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in their lifetime. This year, more than 220,000 American women will be diagnosed with it and 40,000 will die. When we met Ciccarella for our October issue story on breast cancer survivors, she said she's so tired of hearing these numbers. We've got to find a way to stop breast cancer.
That's where the Health of Women (HOW) study comes in, says Ciccarella, who serves as the New York volunteer team coordinator with the Love/Avon Army of Women. Launched by the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, the Army of Women has been enrolling women in different research projects since 2008. Now the foundation is launching its own study to follow a huge group of women over time to learn why the disease develops. The key to all this? Your participation.
Why It's Important
Many breast cancer patients have no known risk factors. So, does where you work or how much you sleep affect whether you will get breast cancer? Can anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen reduce breast cancer risk? These are the types of thing we want to understand better, and the larger the group of women we study, the more we can learn, says Leslie Bernstein, Ph.D., professor and director of cancer etiology at the Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope in Los Angeles, a partner in the study.
How It Works
After you answer a questionnaire about your health history, the HOW study will send you e-mails every three to four months when a new module becomes available. The questionnaires are co-created by epidemiologists, statisticians and breast cancer advocates, and participants will have the opportunity to submit questions they want answered, says Naz Sykes, executive director of the Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation.
The researchers want to follow women for 20 years or more. It's a commitment, but the modules only take a few minutes to answer. All of your data will be stored in your account and in a database available to researchers—without your name attached.
Where To Sign Up
Go to HealthofWomenStudy.org and create an account. Then get your friends involved. The researchers want healthy women from every ethnicity, plus breast cancer survivors, women with other health issues and even men who've had breast cancer. I've already enrolled and I hope you will, too. Head to the study's helpful FAQs page for more info.

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. Stress fractures are caused by the repetitive application of force, often by overuse — such as repeatedly jumping up and down or running long distances. Stress fractures can also arise from normal use of a bone that's been weakened by a condition such as osteoporosis.
Stress fractures are most common in the weight-bearing bones of the lower leg and foot. Track and field athletes are particularly susceptible to stress fractures, but anyone can experience a stress fracture. If you're starting a new exercise program, for example, you may be at risk if you do too much too soon.
Symptoms of a stress fracture include:
At first, stress fractures may be barely noticeable. But pay attention to the pain. Proper self-care and treatment can keep the stress fracture from worsening.
When to see a doctor
Contact your doctor if your pain becomes severe or persists even at rest.
Stress fractures are caused by the repetitive application of a greater amount of force than the bones of your feet and lower legs normally bear. This force causes an imbalance between the resorption and growth of bone, both of which go on all the time. Repetitive force promotes the turnover of bone cells, but you add new bone cells when you're at rest.
If your bones are subjected to unaccustomed force without enough time for recovery, you'll resorb bone cells faster than you can replace them. As a result, you develop "bone fatigue." Continued, repetitive force causes tiny cracks in fatigued bones. These cracks progress to become stress fractures.
Factors that may increase your risk of stress fractures include:
Some stress fractures don't heal properly. This may lead to chronic pain. If underlying causes are not addressed, you may be at higher risk of additional stress fractures.
You're likely to first bring your concerns to the attention of your family doctor. If you are a competitive athlete, you might go directly to a doctor who specializes in musculoskeletal problems.
What you can do
Before the appointment, you may want to write a list that answers the following questions:
What to expect from your doctor
During the exam, your doctor will ask about your symptoms, physical activities and general health. He or she will press on the bones and soft tissues around the site of your pain, to try to pinpoint what exactly has been injured.
While doctors can sometimes diagnose a stress fracture from the medical history and physical exam alone, imaging tests are often needed to confirm the diagnosis.
Imaging tests
Treatment varies depending on the location of the stress fracture and on how quickly you need to resume activity.
If needed, take acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) to relieve pain. Some research suggests that pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve, others) can interfere with bone healing.
To reduce the bone's weight-bearing load until healing occurs, you may need to wear a walking boot or brace, or use crutches. In severe cases, the doctor may need to immobilize the affected bone with a splint or cast.
Although it's unusual, surgery is sometimes necessary to ensure complete healing of some types of stress fractures, especially those that occur in areas with a poor blood supply.
It's important to give the bone time to heal. This may take several months or even longer. In the meantime:
Simple steps can help you prevent stress fractures.

Blog submitted by Dr Jonathan Song
Jonathan Song is the director of the Cornea
Institute at The Vision
Center, Childrens
Hospital Los Angeles
and an assistant professor of ophthalmology at Doheny Eye Institute
in Los Angeles, CA.
My week began with a long trip from Los Angeles with connections from Paris to Damascus. Damascus is a vibrant modern city with a fantastic history. It is here I met up with other ORBIS volunteer faculty as well as Perry Athanason, communications manager aboard the plane, who would escort us to Dier Ezzor. Our drive thru the Syrian dessert to Deir Ezzor was unforgettable. We passed thru Palmyra, the home of ancient ruins which were beautifully excavated with amazing details allowing for a person to experience what could have been thousands of years ago.
On our arrival in Deir Ezzor, we where met by the whole hard working ORBIS staff group who have been preparing the hospital as well as the airplane for screening and surgery which is no small feat at all. As usual, the tremendous and meticulous preparation was evident during our screening day. The day was hampered by an overrun of people seeking eye care who only recently heard of the groups presences. This was in addition of the pre screened patients who already had been assigned screening appointments. The professionalism and hard work of the ORBIS staff as well as local hospital staff members allowed us to screen all and fill all allotted surgery spots. We saw amazing eye pathology; more importantly, it was a privilege and honor to meet the people of Syria who now became our patients.
My next days in Syria were divided into lecturing and performing surgery in the ORBIS Flying Eye Hospital as well as performing surgery at the host hospital. I had energetic hands-on trainees who clearly wanted to learn as much as possible about corneal transp lantation surgery. It is my hope that these trainees continue doing corneal transplantation surgery and aid in the deployment of an eye banking system in Syria.
Our nights in Deir Ezzor were spent enjoying the local food with the mixed grill being my favorite and visiting the downtown area with an open bazaar that showed the vibrancy and uniqueness of the Syrian culture. We even survived a sand storm in which we could not see more than five feet in front of us while in a local taxi.
As I think back on this trip and recall what has touched me the most, I remember the people and children of Syria the most. Both the patients as well as the local hospital staff showed their sincere gratitude to the work being done in this program. It is through organizations such as ORBIS that we realize that despite cultural and political differences, all people have more similar than not. All have a commitment to help their neighbors in a time of need whether it is a person in need in the local hospital or a person half way across the globe.

By LUCAS L. JOHNSON IIAssociated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Teachers who "meet expectations" in their evaluation would be eligible for tenure under changes the Tennessee Education Association is recommending for the state's new teacher evaluation system.
Association President Gera Summerford said at a news conference on Wednesday that the system is flawed and outlined seven recommendations to help improve it.
"Tennessee's teacher evaluation system and supporting data system are so flawed that they diminish the education program for Tennessee students," she said. "As a result, students suffer as teachers and administrators are distracted from focusing on student learning in order to meet the demands of the evaluation system."
The standards require half of teachers' assessments to come from testing data, and the rest from classroom observations. Some principals have complained that they don't have enough time to perform multiple evaluations of students, while many teachers have said their subjects are not covered by standardized tests.
Teachers can gain tenure only if they score in the top two ratings two consecutive years. A three on the 5-point rating scale is "meets expectations."
To address the complaints, one recommendation is to designate 2011-2012 a practice year for the new system, "so that no educator will be negatively affected by this year's evaluation rating," according to the association.
The group also wants to change the number of teacher evaluations. Principals must make at least four each year. It suggests reducing the number of observations for accomplished teachers.
For example, a teacher with a rating of 3 or better would receive one observation a year and "a full evaluation cycle compromising multiple observations completed every five years," the group said.
Rep. Joey Hensley agrees the new evaluation process is time consuming and needs to be changed.
"Certainly ... good teachers don't need four evaluations," said the Hohenwald Republican. "We need to cut that down."
Republican Gov. Bill Haslam said last month that he has commissioned an outside review to help "separate the anecdotes from flaws" in the new system.
Meanwhile, Summerford said teachers are against a proposal by Haslam this legislative session that would allow local Tennessee school districts to determine class sizes, saying the measure would adversely affect students' ability to learn and graduate.
"We certainly oppose any changes in class size," she said Wednesday.
Summerford said regional meetings and online surveys were among the ways the association got feedback from teachers and administrators to develop the recommendations.

WADA/ASADA and FEI Anti Doping Updates
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is passing on advisories from international anti-doping organisations to Australian athletes competing or training in China, Mexico, and countries in the European Union regarding clenbuterol.
In November 2011 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) released an advisory cautioning that meat in China and Mexico could be contaminated with this prohibited substance. The following month UK Anti-Doping advised that, while stringent EU rules are in place to prevent clenbuterol contamination of meat, athletes should be wary of consuming large quantities of liver in this region.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) has recently warned all Australian athletes and coaches about the banned stimulant methylhexaneamine, following a spate of positive doping tests both in Australia and overseas. Methylhexaneamine was added to the WADA banned substance list in 2010.

7.1 Improve Instructional Productivity (Year 1: 2009-2010)
New policy states that "Academic units must develop clearly articulated and easily accessed policies regarding faculty assignments and expectations" and that "the executive vice president and provost, as the chief academic officer of the University, shall review and approve all college and campus workload policies." All workload policies are due in the provost's office this fall. The approved policies will be posted on college and campus websites, as well as that of OPIA, by January 2011. Workload policies for the 14 campuses of the University College are already available. Unit-specific data on under-enrolled classes have been shared with all deans and chancellors with the request that they, in turn, share these data with department heads, directors of academic affairs, and others involved in scheduling classes. These data will be tracked going forward with the expectation that colleges and campuses will keep under-enrolled classes to a minimum, thereby increasing both faculty productivity and student learning.

One of the most congested intersections in the state is about to see a big makeover, but the traffic is likely going to get worse before it gets better.
More than 60,000 vehicles pass through the intersection that links Broad Street, Memorial Boulevard and Old Fort Parkway, and the Tennessee Department of Transportation is setting out a plan to improve the congestion by adding a bridge over Broad Street.
But not everyone is happy about the massive construction project that is expected to take about three years to complete. Many of the business owners are worried about the impact the construction will have on their businesses.
"It's going to greatly impact us. In the six months of looking at this project, we haven't found a single soul that's in favor of this project," said Henry Huddleston, CEO of Huddleston Oil Company. "More so, they're in a defeated mode where they think it's going to happen and they can't do anything to stop it."
Huddleston and a coalition of other businesses tried to stop construction of the project but to no avail. They say the new bridge will have a negative impact as drivers will no longer have access to College Street from Memorial.
TDOT officials say they will work to minimize problems for the businesses during construction, which is slated to begin in early 2014.
"It's going to be a project that's going to be crucial for this area," said TDOT Commissioner John Schroer. "We will begin working with the businesses to make sure the traffic continues to flow, and we will try to do as much work at nighttime as possible to make sure it's convenient as possible. Certainly, there will be disruptions. Anytime that happens, there will be lots of orange barrels. To us, orange barrels means progress."
The proposed single-point interchange will be similar to another intersection near Interstate 65. TDOT said they will not simply build a huge concrete monster. Instead, they will try to keep with the historic past of the city with the materials they use and even landscaping.

March 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
First Part: March 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part I)
It is time for the second part of the March 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline, a month that will probably be remembered for the breach occurred to Global Payments, a credit card processor, whose aftermath may potentially affect up to 10 million credit card holders belonging, among the others, to Visa and MasterCard.
On the hacktivism front, not even three weeks after the arrest of several LulzSec members, a new hacking crew has appeared whose name, LulzSecReborn, clearly reminds the infamous collective and its Days of Lulz. They entered the scene with a noticeable, albeit discussed, leak: more than 170.000 records from a military dating site.
Other remarkable hacktivism-led cyber attacks include the so called #OpFariseo, a wave of Cyber Attacks targeting websites related to the visit of the Pope in Mexico, and a new cyber attack to PBS. It is also important to notice the debut of the Anonymous in China, a debut characterized by a massive wave of defacements.
Last but not least, among the events of this month there is one which in particular deserves a mention, and is the leak which targeted Vector Inc., a Japanese computer selling firm, potentially affecting more than 260,000 users.
As usual after the jump you will find all the references.

There is an enormous amount of information available. Everywhere. All the time. News feeds are refreshing every second and your online networks are overflowing with holiday pictures, status updates and YouTube-videos. All these impressions can be quite overwhelming and the impact on consumers has turned out to be pretty big. Consumers feel overwhelmed and need filters in this abundant world. Recent research shows that although 77% of people in the developed world are happy, they also wish life was simpler.
For everyone working with people it is important to understand the importance of simplifying. With the paradox of choice psychologist Barry Schwartz has already explained how too many choices can actually paralyze consumers – and end up in consumers not making a choice at all. Making things easier and keeping your communication clear will help your consumers make a decision. In our trend on Abundance, we explore the latest (and future) manifestations of abundance and the filter mechanisms which consumers use to make choices.

Six sheep heads seized from Edmonton supermarket
Updated 4:23pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in News By Charlie Peat
Six sheep heads have been seized after they were discovered at an Edmonton supermarket.
The gruesome heads are believed to be more than four years old and still had the teeth attached.
The bizarre discovery was made on a routine check by Enfield Borough Council on Tuesday, February 25 and officers will now investigate it.
Enfield Council's cabinet member for environment, Councillor Chris Bond, said: "There are very good reasons why we have strict controls in place regarding food safety associated with meat and its incredibly irresponsible of this trader to flout these regulations.
"We take this sort of behaviour incredibly seriously and take a very dim view of people who simply cannot be bothered to take the proper legal precautions to protect the public from exposure to a potentially fatal disease.
"The business in question had no records of when and where they purchased these heads, which is incredibly concerning because anyone buying and ultimately eating them doesn't have the faintest idea of what they are eating.
"It is a legal requirement for all businesses to ensure they have documentation for all food they are supplied with and that reputable suppliers are used."

To the editor:
Isn't it appalling to learn that our legislators have gifted us with yet another tax increase?
This time, "only" a half-billion? And, oh, yes, how wonderful — a 25-cent per gallon gasoline tax increase, too.
That's just what working people need – those of us who may have to actually drive to our jobs, buy groceries, go to the doctor, pick up the kids at school, or run any sort of business that needs or provides deliveries.
It's stupefying. Is Beacon Hill a place with no connection at all to the rest of our commonwealth? Have those making our laws no feeling for people's real experience of job loss, food/medical/education price increases, and grave doubts about our economic future, especially as we get older? Do these lawmakers, at least in economic matters, really represent us?
Well, they may deserve their privileged detachment up there. How else can they ponder these taxes that we common folk need – for our own good – when we who actually work for a living are too ignorant or selfish to provide "essential" funds for them, our impartial public servants?
Here, in Gloucester, I appeal to Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante to reconsider her recent vote of tax-increase approval, and speak up for a tax repeal.
She once boasted of having "almost" earned a Ph.D. in economics, along with her law degree. Would it not be refreshing, and enhance her credibility with us, her constituents, to for once show a commendable streak of independence in her voting record?
And, to remind us and her colleagues that basic laws of economics are not political trifles, to be ignored – not when so many of her constituents are facing economic hardship and doubt.
I urge Beacon Hill to repeal this destructive tax increase. Even better, replace it with tax incentives for new businesses, especially small businesses, mid-sized businesses, harborside businesses, the real engines of new employment and badly needed economic recovery here on Cape Ann.
Tourist season is winding down; it may be a long, cold winter for us – or a new season of hope.

In computer security, a sandbox generally refers to a tightly controlled virtual environment that replicates a normal computer system.
In this isolated environment, security researchers and malware analyst are able to execute and examine suspect, untested or malicious code without risking damage to their actual systems.
Also see: emulation and virtual machine/environment.
A script is a small program or piece of code used to automate minor tasks. Scripts can be used in applications or on websites to add extra functionalities.
Scripts can be written in a number of languages, though the most commonly used is JavaScript, which is often incorporated on Web pages to add interactivity to its elements.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Attack
A type of attack that involves poisoning a website's listing in a search engine's search results, in order to redirect visitors to a malicious website.
SEO attacks are becoming increasingly common. They are often timed to take advantage of major holidays, political drams or entertainment events, such as New Year's, presidential elections or celebrity deaths. The sites affected by these attacks have ranged from major corporations (both online and brick-and-mortar businesses) and personal sites.
How Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Attacks Are Done
Also known as SEO poisoning, this type of attack undermines one of the most relied-upon services on the Internet - the search engines that help visitors find the website they want. Most websites try to gain more traffic by carefully crafting their webpages so that search engines are likely to display them more prominently in the search engine results, where they are more likely to be viewed by the reader.
Attackers exploit this engine-website-reader relationship by 'poisoning' the site's ranking in the search results. Visitors who click on the affected site's listing in the search results will be forced to visit an unwanted site, which will often perform drive-by downloads on the visitor's system.
Attackers can poison the website's ranking either by cross site scripting (XSS), or more commonly by using an iframe exploit to inject a redirect script into the site. The site's actual contents may or may not be affected. An SEO attack can also be carried out using the collective resources of a botnet.
A small program used to provide an interface for users, which is then often used to control or manipulate an operating system or a process. A shell is also known as a "command shell".
Creating a shell on a target machine is often the objective of shellcode (a piece of code used to insert or start the command shell) and is associated with the exploitation of a vulnerability.
Short Message Service (SMS)
A communication protocol for transmission of short text messages between one mobile devices connected to a telecommunications network.
The Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the most heavily used data services in the world today, with close to 2.5 billion regular users.
Like many popular services, SMS is also used by hackers to engage in various undesired activities, such as
- SMS Hoaxes
Much like e-mail hoaxes, unsolicited SMS messages may be sent to generate misinformation, fear or doubt.
- SMS Spam
Much like e-mail spam, unsolicited SMS messages sent out in bulk can be a serious annoyance to recipients. Depending on the jurisdiction, this activity may be legal, illegal or simply unregulated.
- Worm payload
A number of worms such as Worm:SymbOS/Yxe and Worm:SymbOS/HatiHati will send out high volumes of SMS messages to persons listed on the phone's Contact List, resulting in high SMS usage charges.
- SMS Spoofing
An SMS message sender tampers with the address information to impersonate another sender.
- Malicious links
SMS messages may also contain links to, or direct users to, a website that may be harmful.
A sufficiently unique section of code that can be used by an antivirus application as a program's identifying marker. Depending on the antivirus in question, a signature may also be known as a "detection" or "definition".
How Signatures Work
Signatures are commonly used by antivirus programs to find and identify malware. To define a signature, an Anti-Malware Analyst must first analyze a malicious program and determine the appropriate section of code to use as the program's signature; for certain simple malware, this may also be done automatically.
To use it, an antivirus program must first have a signature listed in its signature database. Then, each time the antivirus scans a computer system's files, it searches for code matching the signatures in its database; any file found with matching code is automatically flagged as a security risk.
Why Signatures Are Important
As new malware are being found every day, an antivirus program's signature database should be kept up-to-date to ensure the computer is protected against the latest threats.
This type of signature-based detection is effective if the malware is previously known; it does not work against new, unknown malware, which have not yet been analyzed and identified with a signature. Instead, many antivirus programs now incorporate heuristic analysis technology to detect new, unknown malware.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
A protocol used for transmitting e-mail messages over a TCP/IP network. It is one of three protocols (the others are IMAP and POP3) commonly used for e-mail transmissions.
SMTP is capable of sending e-mail messages, but has limited capability for receiving them, resulting in the common practice of using SMTP for sending messages, and another protocol for receiving messages.
Many worms include an SMTP-based engine in their own code dedicated to sending out copies of the infectious worm code.
Social Engineering
A general term used to describe attacks that leverage on psychological or social pressures to dupe an unsuspecting victim into providing sensitive information such as passwords, account details and so on.
Social engineering attacks can take place both online and offline. Online social engineering attacks usually take the form of phishing or pharming attempts, which present unsuspecting users with legitimate-looking e-mails or websites in order to convince to part with important information or money.
Another form of online social engineering involves convincing a user to download a file, usually in the guise of a security or application update, game or other desired program. Once downloaded and run however, the file turns out to be something entirely different, and almost always malicious.
Social engineering is also possible in the offline, 'real world' environment. Usually, these attacks are done for the same reason - to obtain information or money - but differ in that there tends to be more direct, sometimes physical interaction. Examples of offline attacks include:
- Pretending to be a surveyor and asking people to provide their passwords in return for a prize;
- Calling a company and pretending to be an employee to gain access to the company intranet;
- Or leaving an infected disk in a position where someone is likely to pick it up and use it, thereby infecting their system.
Despite the simplicity of many social engineering attacks, they tend to be consistently effective, as they exploit natural human tendencies based on trust, desire or curiosity.
Source code
The human-readable form of a program's code.
A programmer or team of programmers will typically write a program's source code in a programming language (e.g., C or Python). The programmer(s) then use a separate compiler program to transform it into an executable form known as binary code that only a computer system can 'read' to execute the commands.
A communication that is unsolicited and sent out in massive amounts. A more formal term for this material is 'junk mail' or 'unsolicited bulk mail'.
Spam is mainly used for commercial promotion. The products or services typically being offered tend to be of a somewhat dubious nature. They may also be used to as mass communications, generally seeking credulous participants willing to take part in activities that may turn out to be fraudulent or criminal. Spam may also be used to distribute malware, or to direct users to sites that host malware.
Spam is often considered a nuisance as it clogs up communications networks and requires time and effort to deal with. It may also have a significant financial or personal impact, through malware infection of a company network or loss of personal data or money through fraud.
The act of sending spam is legally a 'grey area' in many countries; there is usually insufficient legislation or police enforcement to prevent it. In some countries, spam operations have been successfully shut down and prosecuted; in others, these operations can operate with practical impunity.
How Spam is Sent
At one time, the most common way to send spam was through a spammer, or a standalone utility that allows the user to efficiently send massive amounts of e-mails to a mailing list (the term 'spammer' may also be used to describe the person who sends out spam).
Typically, a spammer program will use fake e-mail message headers and anonymous SMTP servers to send the e-mails, making it significantly more difficult for investigating authorities to trace back the source of the unsolicited e-mails.
These programs are not destructive, but the consequences of their usage can be seriously damaging. The legitimacy of these programs depends on jurisdiction. In several counties, spammer usage is illegal.
Nowadays, spam is more commonly sent out by botnets, which can generate thousands, if not millions of e-mails every day. The botnet may be created specifically for this purpose but increasingly, spam operations are simply renting use of these botnets from other (presumably criminal) organizations.
Types of Spam
The term 'spam' is most commonly used to describe unwanted e-mail messages, but spam can also be used to describe unwanted messages transmitted over fax, posted on online or offline message boards, sent through SMSes or MMSes and so on:
- SMS-Spam
Typically, these messages are commercial promotions sent out by businesses. Telecommunications providers may or may not provide their users with an option to 'opt-out' of receiving these communications. More malicious messages may include hoaxes, intended to frighten or spread misinformation to recipients.
- MMS-Spam
Similar to SMS-spam, but potentially more dangerous as MMS-spam can include active links to websites. If clicked, the recipient may be taken to a malicious website.
- IM-Spam
Unwanted messages sent through Instant Messages (IM) are a common propagation tactic for worms and other malware. The messages typically contain an infected file or a link to a malicious website.
- Post-Spam
Unwanted messages added to website forums, weblog comments and other locations where other users will see the message. These messages may or may not include malicious links or files.
A more modern twist of this is to include these spam messages or links on online video-sharing websites.
The act of falsifying characteristics or data, usually in order to conduct a malicious activity. For example, if a spam e-mail's header is replaced with a false sender address in order to hide the actual source of the spam, the e-mail header is said to be "spoofed".
An attack can also involve elements of spoofing, as it prevents or complicates the process of identifying the correct source of the attack. There are many kinds of such "spoofing attacks": e-mail spoofing, Internet Protocol spoofing, URL spoofing and so on.
A program that may compromise a user's personal or confidential information. Spyware may be installed on a system without a user's authorization or knowledge.
Spyware can vary widely in the kinds of actions they perform. Some common actions include displaying unsolicited pop-ups, hijacking a browser's home or search pages, redirecting browsing results and monitoring user activities. Depending on the context, these actions may be considered to border on, or are, malicious.
Spyware is sometimes considered a "gray" area in terms of ethics and legality. Depending on the specific action, context of use and applicable laws, spyware may be legal and acceptable; dubious but unlegislated; or outright illegal and unethical.
Complicating the issue is that some spyware are not intentionally designed as such. Instead, programming errors may result in them performing actions that would class them as spyware. Once the flaws are corrected, the program may then be reclassified.
Another common issue is if a program's uninstaller is not included, or nonfunctional. A legitimate program with a nonfunctional uninstaller may be classified as 'spyware' until the issue is resolved.
In addition, programs previously identified as spyware may be renamed and redistributed as a new product.
SQL Injection
A type of attack that exploits poor user-input filtering to inject and run executable command into improperly configured Structured Query Language (SQL) databases. Technically, a few types of SQL injection attacks are possible, but the end result of all successful SQL injection attacks is that an attacker can manipulate or even gain total control over the database.
SQL databases are a common feature of many applications. Often, companies will use such databases for vital operations such as payrolls and customer records. The most commonly reported attacks however are usually launched against databases that can be accessed via a website, simply because these databases are much easier for a hacker to reach. SQL databases are commonly used on websites with dynamic content, making them popular targets for hackers.
SQL injection attacks only work against databases that don't sanitize user input properly. Whenever a user interacts with a database, for example by trying to log into the Members Only section of a website, any input they provide should be 'sanitized', or checked to make sure it doesn't contain invalid characters. Poor or improper checking of the data input that may cause programming errors, which an alert or malicious user can then further exploit.
Stealth virus
Any virus that attempts to keep its presence undetected can be classed as a 'stealth virus'.
A virus can hide its presence and/or actions from antivirus programs or system security process using a variety of techniques. The most common tactic is to display a clean 'image' or copy of an infected file or directory when the file is being scanned, fooling the security program into believing the file or directory is clean. A more sophisticated technique involves temporarily 'uninfecting' a file during scans and reinfecting it once a scan is completed.
Another common trick is to disguise changes in the file size or header information.
The platform designator for the popular Symbian operating system (OS) used to run data-enabled phones (also known as smartphones).
Created by Symbian Ltd., this OS supports Java, Bluetooth connectivity, GPRS data transmission, and computer synchronization.
A classification term used by F-Secure to indicate the potential severity of threat a program may pose to the user's computer system and/or confidential information.

New Mexico is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Inhabited by Native American populations for many centuries, it has also been part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain, part of Mexico, and a U.S. territory. Among U.S. states, New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanics at 45% (2008 estimate), being descendants of Spanish colonists and recent immigrants from Latin America. It also has the third-highest percentage of Native Americans after Alaska and Oklahoma, and the fifth-highest total number of Native Americans after California, Oklahoma, Arizona, and Texas. The tribes represented in the state consist of mostly Navajo and Pueblo peoples. As a result, the demographics and culture of the state are unique for their strong Spanish, Mexican, and Native American cultural influences. At a population density of 16 per square mile, New Mexico is the sixth most sparsely inhabited U.S. state.

This is the hefeweizen I always seem to find myself drinking, wherever I go, whenever I ask for one. And it's not bad, just not abosolutely stelar. It's got an unremarkable amber color with a white head of little significance. Smells a little citrusy. The taste is too sour and sharp for me, and I don't like the carbonation level. But somehow I keep ordering it, so it can't be all that bad!

Appearance Orange and thin in color with a foaming head that went down in seconds.
Smell Light yeast aroma with a sour accompaniment and very musty.
Taste The yeast all but disappears at the taste. Theres a maltish replacement that doesnt belong and a hoppy NW balance that should be in a Pale Ale. The fruity sweetness is lost in the must and dust.
Mouthfeel Light and sweet as it should be, but the carbonation is absent which is the deathnell for a Hefe Weizen.
Sinkability Horrible attempt at the style. I havent found an American brewery yet that can pull it off. Im not finishing this.

A: I roused the yeast so a nice hazy, glowing amber with an orange hue. it pours with a finger of rocky white foam with average head retention settling into a thin film and a collar bubbles. The head should have more staying power in a wheat.
S: A soft wheat malt sweetness with a grainy character. An American yeast ester profile, so some slight orange. The is a slight citrus hops aroma.
T: It's crisp having a moderate hops bitterness over moderately-light citrus hops flavor and a light malt sweetness. There is a moderately-light wheat malt character. The balance is moderately bitter with an off-dry finish. The aftertaste is a light hops bitterness and a bit of wheat flavor.
M: A medium-light bodied beer with moderately-strong carbonation.
O: An odd choice for a winter mixed 12-pack, but I can drink a wheat in the winter. Not bad, but I don't go out of my way for wheats, but it is to style.

A very average beer to say the least. This one poured a nice golden color with a very cloudy apperance and a nice white head that left good lace down the glass. The smell was non existant with just a faint hint of grain and lemon. The taste was only saved by it's smootheness. The flavor was pretty subdued for a hefe and was quite bland with just a hint of tartness and yeasty flavor. You can do much better than this one folks.

Something is seriously wrong here.
This looks like no other hefeweizen I've ever seen. It is very dark - an amber/reddish hue. Unlike the other reviews, mine is not very murky. I can see right through it, and there's nothing floating in it. The head is tiny even with an aggressive pour, leaves no lacing, and quickly dies without a trace.
This beer stinks. Literally. Smells of funk & sourness. Yeasty. Uninviting.
Taste is sour, in a bad way (not like a lambic). Very watery and bites at your tongue. None of the usual pleasant refreshing qualities of a hefeweizen.
This is the worst hefeweizen I have ever had. I poured it out & opened a second bottle, just to make sure, and it was the same story. I hope something was wrong with the six pack I got, or that it was outdated (the date code was unreadable). Otherwise, I dont see how Pyramid could possibly think it was a good idea to make & market this beer.

A - Huge head of pillowy cloud-white foam instantly fills the glass, even slowly pouring the beer down the side. Over-carbonated. Foam slowly collapses cleanly down the sides. It takes several attempts to get the entire bottle into the glass. Held to a full-spectrum light, beer is a bright pale lemon yellow and a bit cloudy. There's plenty of carbonation rising up thru the glass. Of the bottles in the sixer this is from, this is the most carbonated one by far.
S - A pleasant, soft wheat grass. No clove/banana, but a hint of soft citrus esters, like an orange. A bit of floral hops pushes into the nose, but it's light and subtle. Overall, pretty neutral, but at the same time, present rather than just missing.
T - Light wheat bread that's a bit moist and chewy with a touch of lemongrass and a hint of a lightly toasted and buttered English muffin. A bit of lemon tartness on the back end, almost as if there's a lemon wedge dropped into the beer. As it warms, a bit of lemon-drop candy shows up in the finish.
M - Fizzy and crisp. Full carbonation. Thin body, but not watery - the yeast that's present gives it just enough substance to be noticed. Structure is tight, and finish is clean, and refreshing, almost acidic. This changes to adding just a touch of sweetness in the echo as it warms up, where hints of hard candy linger a bit on the sides of the tongue.
O - This was a good example of why I like to taste a few of something I'm pretty sure I'm going to like if I can before doing a review. The over-carbonation of this beer is atypical based on the others I've had, so the hugely exaggerated head isn't going to get knocked down too badly. This is a very refreshing and quite tasty straightforward American wheat beer with only enough hops required for balance. It's not a traditional German hefeweizen, with the banana/clove yeast. Because it's unfiltered, there's enough substance to its body to keep it from feeling watery, but it's still clean and refreshing to drink. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up a sixer of this for a summer day at the lake, and it has the added advantage that most everyone you're with is going to at least find it drinkable, especially the women. Solid. Dependable. Worth having on the roster as a reliable summer option, but keep it cold because it gets a tad sweet in the finish if allowed to warm up.

Appearance: 1/2 inch head that fades quickly, high carbonation, orange-brown in color, hazy
Smell: dark wheat and slight caramel
Taste: dark wheat, clove, banana. and a touch of bitterness
Mouthfeel: sweet start with a slightly bitter middle and a less bitter end, medium carbonation and bodied
Overall: Below average for the style and one I will pass on in the future. I actually think this one could use a bit more banana flavor to balance it out.

On-tap at Brew's Cafe in Granville, Ohio.
Appearance: Cloudy golden-yellow color. Adequate frothy white head with impressive lacing of the glass.
Smell: Dominated by the lemon wedge. A very non-hefewizen-like aroma (grainy) that surprised me. None of the fruity smells I expected.
Taste: Very grainy ("macro") flavor. Not good.
Mouthfeel: Hmm.....thin? It was crisp and fairly dry as well.
Drinkability: Blah. It didn't really keep me interested and was a poor choice, given the other impressive beers on tap that were available. Won't be seeking this one out again.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into tall glass.
Appearance: Cloudy pineapple juice semi-saved by a thin white head.
Smell: Wheat, very light citrus and pepper.
Taste: Almost a nice dry wheat profile but tarnished by a strangely sweet undercurrent. Some very light citrus and pepper, same as the aroma.
Feel: High carbonation, light body, almost a nice dry finish.
Drinkability: Just a weak wheat beer.

FIrst off, I'm not a big fan of American wheat beers, but I did like this beer. Murky golden color, white head, very little aroma. Taste is sweet and tangy, but finishes sticky sweet. More of an unripe orange flavor versus the typical lemon. I probably would order this again if there was nothing better on tap.

A 355ml bottle with a BB of Nov 2012, so it's rather out of date. Picked up from Trembling Madness in York a while back and stored in my garage. I hope it still tastes OK....
Poured into a straight pint glass. Bottle conditioned - swirled while pouring to resuspend the yeast. A hazy golden hue with good carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam with decent retention; this slowly reduces to a thick surface layer. Some lacing. Aroma of wheat and light malt, with hints of grain, earthy yeast, mild fruity esters, faint banana and a touch of sweetness. Not unpleasant, but not the genuine article.
Tastes of bready malt and wheat, with a dry finish. Notes of light malt, grain, wheat, earthy yeast, mild fruity esters, faint banana, a twinge of bubblegum and subtle stewed leaves. Well-attenuated, with little bitterness to speak of. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, accompanied by good carbonation. Body is OK but a little thin for the style. Slightly astringent, with an aftertaste of wheat, grain and earthy yeast.
A rather lacklustre brew - certainly not up to German hefeweizen standards. It looks good, but the aroma/flavour are dull and lacking the bountiful fruity yeast esters that a proper hefe would possess. Body is so-so. Drinkable enough in its own right, but this is more of an American wheat ale than a hefe. Worth trying, but no need to go out of your way.

Pyramid Hefeweizen is another Pacific NW-style hefe, which is markedly different from the true Bavarian stuff. It's perhaps second in noteriety to Widmer's hefe. There's not a lot of difference between the two beers but this one has less hoppiness which I find preferable for the style. As such, it's a purely middle-of-the-road wheat beer, and bound to disappoint most, although I admit I am fully enjoying it at this precise moment. It pours a hazy, luminous gold with decent head that eventually vanishes leaving only a small bit of lace. The aroma is pretty average but a clove flavor deep down provides intrigue. The flavor is solid, crisp and cleansing, with a slight bit of complexity provided by the yeast. Some fruit flavors including peach and bread crust. The mouthfeel is smooth and soothing, with a fizzy sparkle, and drinkability is high, particular as the beer warms a bit. I'm amazed to say it, but I think I like this beer.

Uniformly cloudy amberish-orange color, slightly luminous with a dark yellow cast, head is moist and bright and compact, with average duration. Scnat aroma, a bit of medium fruity orange that almost indicates hops, not much yeasty character. Mouthfeel and carbonation are about dead-on middle-of-the-road per style. The flavor doesn't seem to rise to that standard, lacks estery qualities in most of the classic iterations, grainy and slightly mellon tasting with a strange and too bitter tang to the back. Not a very well-done Hefe to my thinking, doesn't look as good as Widmer, perhaps has more flavor though not ones you look for in this style.

Found this one on tap and found it a little weird considering I haven't seen it since last summer while living in California, it pours a cloudy orangish yellow opaque tone with a white vibrant in color but thin head doesn't leave much lace as many great hefeweizens do. Aromatics there are some of the cherished yeast effects here with light banana, clove, and citrus and a underlying sweetness making for a pleasant aroma. When it comes to the flavor however these flavors become dumbed down to me, finishes chalky, and I must say not impressed seems a little sour to me. Mouthfeel is not as spritzy as I was expecting and body looks full but feels thin going down not much texture here. Drinkability this is a mediocre representation and sort of an Americanized bastardized version of a hefe, just can't stand up to authentic German hefeweizens but overall not a bad beer it was refreshing in the summer heat.

Ngata is active Sunday against Cleveland.||||||| Ngata missed practice time with a shoulder injury.
The Baltimore Ravens signed defensive tackle Haloti Ngata to a five-year, $61-million contract on Tuesday. His agent, Mike McCartney, said Ngata will get $40 million in the first two years of the deal.||||||| The deal came before Tuesday's NFL deadline to sign a multiyear contract or extension to a franchise player. Ngata headed into this season with a $12.4 million franchise tender that was fully guaranteed. The All-Pro defensive tackle has 10 tackles, six solos, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Ngata was drafted 12th overall by the Ravens in the 2006 draft. The former Oregon star has 12 career sacks and three interceptions.
In an effort to improve his stamina, Ngata lost 20 pounds during the offseason.||||||| Over the next few weeks, Ngata hopes to enhance his bank account by dropping his franchise tag and signing a long-term contract. Ngata says he doesn't mind being Baltimore's franchise player, but wants more money over a longer period of time. He says "that's what I am really trying to shoot for." The 27-year-old Ngata had 65 tackles last year and ranked second on the team with a career-high 5 1/2 sacks.
The Baltimore Ravens have designated Ngata as their franchise player. Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome says the move, announced Tuesday, locks up Ngata for the 2011 season while the team keeps working out terms on a lengthy contract.||||||| Ngata was drafted by Baltimore in 2006 with the 12th overall pick. The 6-foot-4, 350-pounder had 65 tackles and a career-high 5 1/2 sacks this season in making the Pro Bowl for a second straight year. Ngata has missed only two games in his five seasons with the Ravens. The last two players to be franchised by the Ravens, linebacker Terrell Suggs and cornerback Chris McAlister, received long-term contracts from the team.
Ngata was fined $10,000 for hitting Miami quarterback Chad Henne "unnecessarily†with the crown of his helmet in last Sunday's win for the Ravens.||||||| Ngata, considered an MVP candidate by esteemed Sports Illustrated football writer Peter King, was also penalized for roughing the passer on the play Sunday.

Chef Willy Hernandez is an international man through and through—and the evidence can be tasted at Zielo Restaurant. His Dominican Republic heritage presents itself in the Caribbean-steeped trio ceviche, with shrimp, whitefish, and coconut-ginger tuna, or the ahi tuna tartare, served over a plantain nest. But influences from Asia, Italy, and France weave their way into the dinner entrees, resulting in such dishes as truffle-infused risotto. And the time Chef Hernandez spent in New York while training in the William's Culinary Institute also gets some face time with the cowboy ribeye and rack of lamb dressed in mustard sauce.
Guests pair this culinary voyage with sips of wines curated by general manager Ervin Machado, a sommelier and wine judge. The deep red of a Louis Martini cabernet sauvignon or Charles Krug pinot noir pops amid the predominantly ivory color scheme, joining the russet tones of the leather-bound volumes upon backlit bookshelves. Calculated swathes of cobalt add another dimension throughout the restaurant, resurfacing on water glasses, lampshades, the front of the bar, and the faces of those competing in breath-holding competitions.
Part seafood grill, part fish market, Don Camaron Seafood Grill Restaurant is completely dedicated to fresh fish. At the market, the knowledgeable staff assists guests with selections of domestic fish and crustaceans such as grouper, red snapper, and, when in season, Florida lobster and stone crabs. Likewise, the grill's chefs prepare a wide range of seafood-oriented dishes, ranging from shrimp alfredo to ceviche to salmon. For its presence at the Miami Marlins' stadium, Don Camaron's fruit of the sea has even been spotlighted by Forbes, the first fish to be lauded by the financial magazine since Jaws made $470 million at the box office.
Though it's one of the more popular menu items at Catch of the Day, the only constant on the Catch's fish sandwich is a layer of grilled onions. Otherwise, its contents shift based on the kitchen's supply of fresh fish and the guest's preparation preference: grilled, blackened, or fried. This unpredictable dish sits beside shrimp wraps and Black Angus burgers on the seafood restaurant's expansive menu. The pages also gather shellfish, fillets, pastas, steaks, and housemade soups along with internationally inspired dishes such as paella and ceviche.
At both locations, Catch of the Day's atmosphere matches its oceanic eats. Nautical decor spread throughout the space includes underwater murals, hanging lifesavers, Captain Nemo, and suspended models of swimming fish. Happy hour unleashes a slew of specials at the bar, and live entertainment frequently sets meals against a musical backdrop.
Tutto's Mare chef Juca Oliveira draws on his own life experiences to craft his menu of international fusion cuisine. Inspired by his childhood in Brazil, he crafts escondidinho de camarão—shrimp creole layered with yucca mash and baked in a wood-burning oven. Drawing on his Italian culinary training, he simmers classic pastas such as al dente black linguine and gnocchi with wine-mushroom sauce. From the cosmopolitan culture of Miami—his home for more than 20 years—he borrows still more eclectic tastes, from Japanese miso to Peruvian spices. He also gathers seafood, fresh fish, and Cordon Bleu–trained mermaid sous chefs fresh from the ocean.
A thick white column supports the high ceiling of Tutto Mare's bright and airy dining room, filled with sleek black tables or cream-colored banquettes. Patrons may also opt to sit at additional outdoor tables or stay inside to pluck utensils from the food-themed graphic art on the walls.
Sushi Leno's chefs merge Japanese and Chilean dishes to satisfy cravings for empanadas and sashimi in one stop. After visitors enter the 75-seat restaurant and take a peek behind the sushi bar, the diverse menu diverts their attention to pasta dishes and Chilean-inspired sandwiches such as the chacarero, with steak, steamed green beans, and an avocado spread. With dishes that cater to a wide range of tastes, Sushi Leno can whip up a memorable meal after a long day of disposing grass clippings down a neighbor's chimney.
Though Benny Ojeda's kitchen is packed with a mélange of frying pans, butcher knives, pots, and spatulas, his most treasured tool might be his giant wooden mortar and pestle. It's this massive contraption that the skilled chef uses to make his renowned mofongo dish, a deliciously chewy concoction that was lauded by reporters from Miami New Times and featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives as well as The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Benny fills the tall mortar with fried plantains, garlic, olive oil, and housemade pork rinds, and then pounds the mixture into a fluffy pulp. He scoops his mofongos into wooden bowls, sending them out of the kitchen plain or topped with buttery lobster, crispy chicken, and juicy steak.
Diners eagerly await mofongos out in the colorful dining room, where water trickles down from an elegant stone fountain and walls are painted to resemble a rustic Puerto Rican village or a convincingly disguised space ship. Some sip on imported beers and fresh fruit juices, and others sample traditional dishes from Benny's native Cabo Rojo—dishes such as stewed pork belly, rice with pigeon peas, and seafood ceviche. Before meals are through, waiters offer guests a tiny cup of complimentary coquito, a creamy blend of coconut, rum, and cinnamon.

The holiday "season" is upon us … social events, parties, etc … all making it a challenge to stay on track. It's possible, for sure, but more challenging.
But a challenge is good — it takes you out of your comfort zone.
Right now we're in the middle of our Rock Your Jeans contest, where women in Louisville's #1 boot camp were challenged to drop 2 jeans sizes in 8 weeks.
If ever there was a time where you needed focus, it's now. The holidays and all of their associated goodies and party fare can make even the most disciplined eater a bit overwhelmed. So consider these 7 strategies if all of the sweeties and goodies tend to get the best of you.
Tip #1. Instead of baking cookies for others, consider other baked goods that you can give as WHOLE THINGS. For example, banana bread, pies, cakes. Most of these are less time-consuming to make than individual cookies, and you won't be tempted. I mean who's going to give a pie to someone with a piece cut out?
Tip#2. Consider GIVING away things other than baked goods. Fruit baskets are great choices and many people actually welcome them this time of year, when they've been inundated with other junk food. Make your own for a fraction of the price of store bought.
Tip#3. I know I'm going to get grief about that tip above. Too many of you have family and friends who EXPECT cookies and goodies at home and at the office. My best advice? Make healthier cookies. They will NEVER know. I swear. Go to Eating Well Magazine and find some cookies to try this year. Now remember, they aren't calorie free. But at least they will have better ingredients.
Tip#4. When you are baking at home, those little BLT's add up. Remember, BLT stands for Bite, Lick or Taste. Don't start cooking until after you've had a protein rich breakfast. My pick – veggie omelet with a side of turkey bacon, piece of fruit and 1/2 a sprouted grain english muffin. Your body will be busy digesting that breakfast for hours and you'll be less tempted to snack. If baking is an all day event, plan a decent lunch and take a break to eat. My pick would be a grilled veggie and hummus wrap with spinach and sliced avocado.
Tip#5. If you will be baking at home or you just have lots of goodies in the kitchen, brush and floss your teeth after every meal. A clean fresh mouth will make those treats less tempting. Consider chewing peppermint gum as well and if possible, avoid the kitchen. Out of sight, out of mind.
Tip#6. Are you inundated with food related gifts from family and friends? I almost hate to say it, but re-gift. You can appreciate the thoughtfulness without having to "appreciate" it. Pass on the thoughtfulness to someone else.
Tip#7. What's your reason for NOT overindulging this season? If you don't have one, you need to come up with something that will make this a season that is defined by something other than the goodies you can indulge in. With no real reason for sticking to clean eating, you'll be much more likely to convince yourself a little bite here, and a little cookie there won't hurt.
The easiest place to control excess calories this holiday season is your own home. Watch what food you bring in, encourage company to take leftovers and goodies with them or give away what you can.

Vanilla-Roasted Peaches with Raspberries
You can trade 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for the vanilla bean. To use the bean, split pod lengthwise, and with the tip of a paring knife, scrape seeds into the dish.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise and scraped, or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 4 firm, ripe peaches (1 to 1 1/2 pounds total), halved and pitted
- 1 pint vanilla ice cream
- 1 package (5 to 6 ounces) raspberries
Cook's Note
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large, shallow baking dish, combine butter, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla bean (seeds and pod). Add peaches, and turn to coat with butter mixture; arrange, cut side down, in a single layer.
Step 2
Roast until peaches are tender and cooking liquid is syrupy, 15 to 25 minutes, brushing with cooking liquid halfway through. Serve peaches (warm or at room temperature) with ice cream and raspberries; drizzle with cooking liquid.
