The Fort Myers Police Department is investigating a shooting that happened near the intersection of State Road 82 and Forum Boulevard early Friday morning.
The department received a call at 1:17 a.m. of a subject who had been shot and was receiving medical treatment at Gulf Coast Hospital.
A busy Fort Myers intersection became the scene of a drive-by shooting.
It happened at State Road 82 and Forum Boulevard. For some it is too close to home.
"I live right here. That's incredible," said Fort Myers resident Dolly Riesold.
The three victim's identified as Cory Jackson, of Lehigh Acres; Javaris Murray, of Lehigh Acres; and Brandan Conner, of Fort Myers, were traveling westbound on State Road 82 from Lehigh Acres when unknown suspects in a smoke gray four-door sedan possibly a Toyota with dark tinted windows shot at them.
The victim's vehicle was hit multiple times. But the men were able to drive to the hospital for treatment. The suspect vehicle fled the scene.
The victim's vehicle was towed from the hospital to FMPD for forensic analysis.
Javaris Murray suffered a non-life threatening injury and Brandan Conner was unharmed.
Cory Jackson was critically injured from the shooting but is listed in stable condition.
The other two victims were released from the hospital and ok. We stopped by their home, but no one answered.
Police say it was not a random act of violence – meaning someone intentionally pulled up to an intersection on Friday morning and opened fire on three young men.
People in the area say while it may not be random, the violence is becoming more widespread.
This is the second drive-by shooting so far this year. The first one police say was gang-related and killed 17-year-old Alexis Wilson.
Now, the community says the amount of crime is growing.
"Shooting, robbing. It's getting closer to home," said Lehigh Acres resident Rudolph Scott.
"I think it's increased over the past couple of years," said Riesold.
The motive in unknown at this time
Police are still looking for the shooter.
The investigation remains active and anyone with information is asked to call Detective Michael Walsh at (239) 321-7700, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS or text message C-R-I-M-E-S (274637) Keyword FMPD. Tipsters can remain anonymous.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- Thursday night's snowstorm dumped between 3 and 7 inches of the white stuff. Cities across the region worked around the clock to clear city streets while private companies plowed residential neighborhoods.
Ben Roberts of Greenview Landscaping has been hard at work clearing what's left of Thursday night's blanket of snow and he is one happy camper because the white means green for him, and his crew members, but the money doesn't come with just one snowfall.
"On a normal year with something that happened last (Thursday) night, may happen 4, 5, 6 times a month over December into January and February and even into March," said Roberts. "This time of year, really there's nothing our landscape crews can do so snow removal is really only one of the sources of revenue we have and that is very important to our business."
Speaking of revenue, because snowfall has been minor the past two years, that has put a financial strain on the business tightening their operating budget.
"It requires cutting a lot of labor that normally works in the winter, we can't obviously afford to pay people if we don't have any revenue, and we like to start our landscaping crews in early March and the snow removal money actually gives us money to start up going into Spring," added Roberts.
But for the public sector like the City of Peoria which is budgeted appropriately to plow residential areas including City streets, money isn't so much an issue as is manpower. The City contracts out 5 areas to be plowed requiring the City to collaborate with the private contractors.
"We can't just work these large accumulations when we begin plowing residential areas without them. In house, we have a number of check systems to check on their performance and also their progress and we've done this for a period of time and it really works well for us," said Peoria Street and Sewer Manager David Haste.

Diné CARE
The most current Diné CARE website may be found at http://www.creativegeckos.com/dinecare/
For more information on the Diné (aka Navajo), please visit http://www.navajo.org or see the latest Navajo news. (Search "Navajo News" in Google News)
The current owners of the website have no affiliation with Diné CARE or associated parties; please refer all questions to the above-mentioned website. Perhaps our only connection to the Navajo nation would be through their crafts whether it is their silver and turquoise jewelry, or textiles, particularly their rugs. Some of our clients who buy cigar humidors ask for designs that would compliment their Navajo decorated interiors. For those who are not familiar with the term humidor, it is usually a box or free standing cabinet, but can also be an entire room, that is designed to store and age cigars in an environment that will preserve and age cigars for a number of years. A quality humidor maintains its environment at the optimal humidity range of 68 % to 72% at room temperature. We have created custom humidors that are made from exotic woods, some inlaid with silver and turquoise, to enhance a western / Navajo inspired decor. However, our cigar humidors are sold on another website and has no relationship with this one.
The content below and on the following pages has been reprinted from the original version of the website.
Mission Statement
Diné CARE is an all-Navajo environmental organization, based within the Navajo homeland. We strive to educate and advocate for our traditional teachings as we protect and provide a voice for all life in the Four Sacred Mountains. We promote alternative uses of natural resources that are consistent with the Diné philosophy of Beauty Way. Our main goal is to empower local and traditional people to organize, speak out and determine their own destinies. Diné CARE – an indegenious environmental organization to protect and preserver the diné way of life.

Darwen firms show off skills to Vince Cable (From Blackburn Citizen)

Darwen firms show off skills to Vince Cable
1:00pm Friday 3rd August 2012 in Darwen By Jonathon Dillon, Assistant news editor
BUSINESS secretary Vince Cable paid a whistlestop visit to Darwen yesterday and was impressed with the success of two firms.
He was shown around Lucite International and engineering firm WEC Group after both companies have benefited from grant funding through Regenerate Pennine Lancashire.
During his visit to WEC, Mr Cable met some of the apprentices from the training academy, who showed him their skills.
Asked whether apprenticeships were key to addressing youth unemployment, Mr Cable said: "They're expanding very rapidly. We are talking about problems of companies like WEC getting access to it.
"There's a big growth of apprentices, 60 per cent over last couple of years bringing in a lot of money in spite of all the cuts that have happened. It's a valuable step forward for young people trying to get into the labour market.
"There are a whole set of problems affecting young people, but apart from apprenticeships the other things growing rapidly is these UTCs, they're brilliant.
"They will provide the link between skills and work for kids who are not terribly interested in the academic route.
"We have to treat vocational training with the same respect we treat undergraduates."
WEC Group Director Wayne Wild, who was also joined by Regenerate Pennine Lancashire Chairman, Dennis Mendoros, said the visit had been worthwhile.
He said: "We had David Cameron here the day before the election so to have another minister here at a family business shows we must be doing something right.
"One thing I wanted to get across is the cost of apprentice training. We take on 10 apprentices a year and get over 100 applications.
"It's going quite well but we have to fund that ourselves. I asked Mr Cable what opportunities there are for a company like ours which doesn't fall under the SME bracket so whether he listens as intently as you hope he does, it is difficult to say."

So that's where the money goes.
Lucite are dumping a supermarket on our doorstep and WEC's owner is turning half of Hoddlesden into his home address.
I don't want to sound like a typical bitter ranter but I would have thought that grant money could be placed where it's more needed.

First of 3 men who buried busload of children in local quarry could be released from prison in May

It's news like this that makes me think we should expand use of the death penalty. Life in prison should mean life in prison. I remember this event well. This scum should rot in prison until he starts his term in hell.
on Mar 7, 2012 at 9:00 am
If there is no room in jail, or money for this immates, then give them the death penalty and problem solved. What they did is not forgivable, those children could have died. Let them die in jail or give them the death penalty but do not release them, they may harm others if allowed to be in the community.

I went to grade school and high school with this kid. I remember when he and his older brother and friend committed this crime, horrible. But the crime never fit the kid I knew, he was shy, and nice, we played and swam at a neighbors house. It is/was hard to reconcile that memory with this crime. I want to believe that due to his youth at the time he just completely misjudged the consequences of his actions. And I to this day don't believe he instigated this crime, not that it matters. Certainly his punishment was just. I just wanted to put a bit of a human face on this. While many, many people understandably would disagree with me, I am glad he didn't get the death penalty and I hope and pray that he is reformed.

"This is just metadata. There is no content involved." That was how Sen. Dianne Feinstein defended the NSA's blanket surveillance of Americans' phone records and Internet activity. Before those revelations, not many people had heard of metadata, the term librarians and programmers use for the data that describes a particular document or record it's linked to. It's the data you find on a card in a library catalog, or the creation date and size of a file in a folder window. It's the penciled note on the back of a snapshot: "Kathleen and Ashley, Lake Charles, 1963." Or it could be the times, numbers and GPS locations attached to the calls in a phone log.
"Metadata" was bound to break out sooner or later, riding the wave of "data" in all its forms and combinations. "Big data" and "data mining" are the reigning tech buzzwords these days, and university faculties are scrambling to meet the surge in demand for courses in the hot new field of data science. It's as if "data" is usurping "information" as a byword. Up to now, "data" has played a supporting role in the information age. There's a popular definition of data as the raw material that becomes information when it's processed and made meaningful. That puts information at the center of the modern tech world, but it isn't how anybody actually uses the two words. I have this image of somebody working a spreadsheet as a manager leans over and says, "Is it information yet?"
But the shift in focus from information to data reflects a genuine difference between the two. "Information" brings to mind the knowledge that's gathered in libraries, encyclopedias, newspapers and journals — stuff that has an independent existence in the world. "Data" is always connected to particular things and events. It comes from experiments, sensors, official records. Or it's the scuff marks we leave behind as we click on websites, make calls, go through the E-Z Pass toll booths, visit an ATM. It's all out there, accumulating in ginormabytes, overflowing the server farms.
When you're focused on information in that stand-alone sense, metadata plays a subordinate role. In the old days, it was just a tool for getting to the stuff you were really interested in. Think how much metadata you had to wade through to find a passage about drunkenness in Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America — looking up the book in the library card catalog, writing down its call number, finding it on the shelves, searching for "drunkenness" in the index, then finally turning to the page you're after. Now that that kind of information is online, metadata can seem almost irrelevant. No need for catalogs or indexes: you just enter a query, and when the book comes up, you barrel in sideways. That's probably why Google was so careless about metadata when they digitized major library collections for Google Books. Literally millions of books are misdated or misclassified: It's not odd to run into a web browser manual dated 1939 that lists Sigmund Freud as its author or a copy of Madame Bovary attributed to Henry James and filed under "antiques and collectibles." The faulty metadata prompted some grumbles from academics and Google has been trying to fix it. But it doesn't bother most of the people who use Google Books — they get at its information in other ways.
But metadata gets a lot more respect in other corners of the Google campus, not to mention from its competitors up and down US 101. Their focus isn't on information in the abstract but on collecting specific data about their users, and for that they need to get the metadata right: Who's visited this page, how long did they stay, where did they go next, who did they e-mail, call or text? All so that advertisers can ensure that the seersucker jacket I clicked on yesterday will stalk me to the end of my days.
That's the same kind of metadata that the NSA insists it needs to trawl. Its defenders maintain we have to be willing to trade some privacy for security, and right now we're all arguing about where to put the boundaries. But some advocates of the surveillance have also tried to soft-pedal its intrusiveness. You hear people pronouncing "metadata" as a soothing incantation, as if your right to privacy ends as soon as you lick and seal the envelope. Sifting through the metadata, the President said, involves just "modest encroachments on privacy." James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, compared the programs to combing through a library with millions of volumes and sorting them by their Dewey decimal numbers, without actually opening and reading them.
That's not quite apt. If you're going to compare this to rummaging around in an old-fashioned library, it's more like opening the back covers of all the books to see whose names are on the borrowers' cards. Whether or not you think the government should be sweeping this stuff up, calling it metadata doesn't make the process any less intrusive. Tell me where you've been and who you've been talking to and I'll tell you about your politics, your health, your sexual orientation, your finances. We'd do well to let the word "metadata" sink back into the nerdy cubicles it came from. When it comes to privacy, the "meta-" doesn't matter. In the post-information age, it's just data all the way down.

Rail delays expected to run into evening rush-hour
Updated 10:53pm Tuesday 2nd April 2013 in News
DISRUPTION to train services between Oxford, Didcot, Reading and London Paddington is expected to continue until at least 5pm.
The problems began early this morning with a late finish to major engineering and signalling work carried out at Reading over the Easter weekend, which saw a new footbridge and extra platforms at the town's station brought into use.
Further disruption was caused by signalling problems and a train which broke down at Goring & Streatley during the morning peak.
As a result, trains and crews have been out of position for much of the day, causing delays of up to an hour at times and a series of cancellations on First Great Western and CrossCountry trains services.

I hope those stoduents all got some of that there counseling

A group of boys have targeted and isolated another boy. The one is out numbered and in danger, a beating has been threatened. Another young man feeling he must aid his friend foolishly steps in using a weapon to even the odds.
Sounds like a scene from Westside Story, boys are primal.

I don't believe in astrology and I laugh openly at people who claim to have ESP or the ability to communicate with the dead; but in certain cases I believe that it's possible to predict someone's future.

With the rise of eBooks, people are saying paper books will die, but this is not true, and books could be a piece of art also in the digital publishing era.
As expamples, you can see the pictures below, where books (paper books) were used to build true art pieces, true sculptures that use books as some kind of "bricks".
With paper books you can even create rooms and buildings, pretty much like everyone does with the pile of books they still have to read, or even create some scultures for your walls.
You can also cut them, so that pages can become the bricks of your creations.
All things that are impossible to do with digital books, that are just files on a computer or an eBook Reader.

This was my 20th cruise. The first and last on Holland America Line. After a certain number of cruises (about 5) you are able to differentiate what is real value from the crap. This was the most expensive, valueless, cruise I have ever taken.
The muster drill was quite unusual. Everyone queued up first in groups by the assigned lifeboats and answered "here" as the cabins were called. It was an inefficient way to check for accuracy. On previous cruises the seapasses were scanned electronically, as individuals arrived. There were people in my group that yelled "present" for anyone appearing to be absent, simply because they were tired of standing around waiting.
For 2 days everything we ate or drank (any entrees, bacon, potatoes, juice, etc.) was rationed and served to us by the staff. This slowed the process down considerably. The reasoning behind this rule is suspect.
The ship is old and the wear and tear shows. The sauna room was "temporarily" broken for the entire cruise. One side of the elevator buttons did not work on Deck 7. I watched as a juice lid fell to the floor as one guest attempted to open it.
My cabin(a single balcony) was laid out so that the bed was positioned close to the doorway blocking access to the rest of the space. The cabin had the smallest sofa, positioned as to be unusable, that I had ever seen. The bathroom had a tub (two small to bath anyone other than a baby or a Cirque du Soleil performer) with a clogged drain. During a shower, I would end up standing in a foot of water, I reported it. It was never repaired.
They had a great band, but the hours were severely limited. Everyone seems to retire at about 10:30pm, and the rest of the night is dead. I was part of a salsa dance group, so that made things better. Had I not had the companionship of the group, the entire trip would have consisted of food, sleep and glacier watching.
The food was excellent! Good quality and plenty of variety. It might just be the best food served of any of my previous cruises. The problem is with the service. I had a late seating (which I didn't want) service was slow for my tables. Consequently, I missed a lot the early shows and the limited band performances. I don't mind a leisurely dinner, but only if I choose to have it.
Royal Caribbean, I apologize. I will never leave you again!

Why neighborhoods protect their confidentiality
Original post made by Lisa Wright on Oct 29, 2007
One only needs to review the results of public commentary by neighbors that opposes the actions of Alamo community leadership to realize that community groups and their supporters disrespect and disregard the opinions of anyone outside their minority of 400 participants and supporters. Neighborhoods have had the courtesy of one neighbor as the public voice for majority opinion in Alamo and that individual has now withdrawn due to the misrepresentation of his efforts by community group leadership collected in the AIM committee. In his note of withdrawal, he said, "I can't imagine any neighbor would want to join me in such PUBLIC disregard."
Individually, every neighbor among the neighborhood groups welcomes contact. But as groups, we will remain confidential in our majority actions and achievement of our interests.

Alamo Neighborhoods Forum

Posted as a courtesy:
OK, Neighbors, how about keeping your mouths shut and let the people that built this community protect your rights to plan the future of Alamo. All the community volunteers have come together to give you a voice in your future and all you can complain about is our actions.
It all baloney.
If you want to be leaders, it's done in public and not in the shadows. If you want results, you have to join us in the risks of public actions. If you want the shadows of confidentiality, stay in the shadows and shut up!
Frank, a resident of Alamo for 21 years
Note: the Alamo Neighborhoods Forum thanks Frank for his response
on Oct 29, 2007 at 5:25 pm
Our thanks to Frank for illustrating our point.
In fact, our neighborhoods have been very public in our presentation of positions and information. We have provided a majority of Alamo residents the ability to communicate together via e-chains and neighborhood meetings. More importantly, our designated spokespeople have participated equally in published discussion of the issues in Alamo and their resolve through structural and operational planning of our government, if incorporated, and our advisory activities, if a SuperMAC.
The reality is that neighborhoods have offered structure and operations planning to the majority in Alamo. By contrast, Alamo's former leadership, now numbering less than 400 participants and supporters, have offered no plan for our future and only their special interests in the continuing jargon of aggregated politics.
We, individually, as neighbors, are ready to hear a PLAN,
Fore Warn
on Nov 1, 2007 at 9:48 am
We should all understand the need to protect our privacy as we consider the extent of governments' abilities to invade such privacy. We should all understand that e-mail services encourage us to use a protected identity to stop the kinds of criminal activities that can occur from use of our names in open internet communication. Most surely, we must realize that local politics is not an exception to government invasion of our privacy and intimidation of our actions.
As Frank protected his identity in his message, posted here and circulated among Alamo's e-chains, he vilified such identity protection by others. We have all heard the cry of What-do-you-have-to-hide by those that wish to discredit our opinions and actions. But there are very real reasons within Contra Costa County to protect ourselves from our governments and districts and those that support them. Our county, and especially its supporters, are willing to intimidate and discredit any person, and their opinion, that runs counter to their policies, programs, projects and planning.
We have strong neighborhoods throughout our county because we protect each other's identity and work through public voices to express our interests, advisory and concerns. We should look on our public voices with respect because they collect all the political intimidation and disrespect political interests wish to use to achieve their ambitions against our will. We should not let anyone disclaim our privacy of opinion without a strong response against such commentary.
Let me advise that none among us become the puppets for public ridicule by politics and its supporters in our county or our community. Speak out to the issues with clear points and references, but don't become the victim of political campaigns that would serve their selfish goals by branding those that oppose them.
Protect your identity,

It's been a year since the introduction of the first Intel Inside handset, but the company's struggles to break into the smartphone market continue as rivals Nvidia and Qualcomm improved speed and power efficiency of ARM chips, which dominate that market.
Intel at the International CES show this week unveiled a new reference design based on its Atom Z2420 chip for low-priced smartphones. Companies including Acer, Lava International, and Safaricom will support the chip, which is a slower variant of the original Medfield chip introduced last year. Lenovo also announced the IdeaPhone K900 smartphone, which has a 5.5-inch screen and runs on the dual-core Atom Z2580 chip code-named Clover Trail+, which is built on the same chip platform used for Medfield.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
While Intel's smartphone chip improvements were incremental, its rivals announced new chips that are faster and more power efficient. Nvidia announced the Tegra 4 chip, which is based on ARM's latest Cortex-A15 processor core, and also announced it would introduce a chip with an integrated LTE modem, although the company declined to comment on when the chips will become available in products. Qualcomm announced new smartphone chips, including the Snapdragon 800, which is up to 75 percent faster than existing Snapdragon S4 Pro chips.
Intel has been stacking up design wins, but none of its smartphones has been successful. Analysts said Intel has been slow in chip development and modem implementation, which has hampered its chances to succeed in smartphones. By the same token, the company is happy to have the few design wins, which are a sign that the x86 smartphone technology is being accepted.
Right now, Intel's biggest challenge is the lack of an Atom chip with integrated LTE capabilities, said Jack Gold, principal analyst at J. Gold Associates.
"That puts them at a disadvantage in the smartphone market in the U.S. and mature markets where LTE is becoming a check-mark requirement for new devices," Gold said.
Intel's Infineon wireless communications unit is working on a chip that combines an applications processor and LTE modem, but that is a few months away, Gold said. The introduction of that chip could provide a fighting chance for Intel to compete with Qualcomm, which already offers an integrated LTE modem in the Snapdragon S4 chip.
"The reason Intel has won some deals for smartphones in emerging markets is because LTE isn't critical for them. Qualcomm does have an integrated chip it can sell, and is doing so to great success," Gold said.
Qualcomm's S4 chip is used in popular smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S III.
The real test for Intel will come in about a year, when the company's new chips will offer the same connectivity as its ARM rivals, Gold said.
"That is when we should see Intel Inside phones making it into the market in greater numbers," Gold said.
Intel didn't expect overnight success in smartphones, with ARM being the dominant architecture, said Dean McCarron, principal analyst at Mercury Research.
"My sense is that given where they started from and where they are, it's taken them time to make a product that is sufficiently interesting," McCarron said.
Intel may not have made major chip advancements like Nvidia or Qualcomm, but the company's position is better this year with the customer wins and growing software support, McCarron said. Companies including Motorola and Orange also offer Intel Inside smartphones.

During the months of September and October, a number of fire departments, including two in Walker County, will be selling custom-designed black and pink T-shirts for $15 and $20. A portion of the proceeds ($9 to $13 depending on size) from each shirt will help the BCRFA provide the seed dollars required to compete for sustaining, national grants for breast cancer research at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center in Birmingham.
Dolly O'Neal, the co-founder of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama, said the pink t-shirt campaign was inspired by the grass-roots fundraising efforts of several creative fire departments in 2010. In 2011, the campaign went statewide and the T-shirt's color was changed from pink to black, in keeping with the theme "Black Out Breast Cancer."
"These firefighters are experienced life-savers, and we are grateful that they are devoting so much to saving lives through breast cancer research," O'Neal said. "The firefighters also share the BCRFA's passion for keeping the money raised in the state of Alabama to help attract the best and brightest researchers. Our mission is to find a cure for this devastating disease — black it out forever — so that our children will not know the impact breast cancer has had on previous generations."
The T-shirts will be available for purchase later this week at Jasper Fire & Rescue's Station One on 18th Street.
"This will be our first year to participate," Jasper Fire Chief Calvin Kluesner said. "We're very excited, and really looking forward to raising a lot of money for such a worthwhile cause. Breast cancer is more prevalent than most people think, and this is just one way, through fundraisers like this, that we help find a cure."
Kluesner said Jasper Fire & Rescue will have the "Black Out Breast Cancer" community T-shirts available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve in the following sizes: small, medium, large, X-large and XX-large.
"The short-sleeve is $15 and the long-sleeve is $20. We also purchased T-shirts for all of our firefighters, and they will be wearing them on certain days throughout the month of October in observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month," Kluesner said. "We're also taking orders from any businesses in our community that would like to order shirts for their employees to wear as well, the orders just have to be for 50 or more T-shirts. The business owners can just call me at 205-221-8509 to place their order."
The Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama was formed in 1996 with the goal of establishing and expanding breast cancer research labs at the UAB Comprehensive Cancer Center. With support from corporations and individuals, the foundation has raised nearly $3.5 million for research.
UAB has been able to generate $16 million in grant funding from the "seed money" provided by the BCRFA.

At the cutting-edge of IT-based crime, attackers are using a combination of easily sourced technologies and social information to carry out successful assaults on the very organizations that spend more time and money on security than anyone in the world.
While he isn't able to share the names of the companies that have been victimized, or the identities of the people within those organizations who have been exploited, an interview with Kevin Mandia, founder and CEO of security services provider Mandiant, provides a shocking view into the incredibly complex attacks being carried out against financial services firms and government entities.
According to the former United States Air Force special agent and IT intrusion investigator, the savviest criminals in the world -- some of whom may receive support from overseas governments -- are targeting specific individuals throughout the ranks of business and government against whom they are executing multitiered attacks in the name of stealing closely protected information.
The continued discovery of new zero day flaws in popular software products -- most notably Microsoft's ubiquitous Windows and Office platforms -- along with the ever-growing amounts of personal and professional information being published online, have created an environment where criminals and their backers can have their way with organizations that already expend tremendous resources on IT security, Mandia said.
"In a matter of hours someone can identify an employee of a specific organization and create a targeted attack that will allow them to break into that organization's network and steal whatever information they're looking for," Mandia said. "As long as people can still exploit technologies like Microsoft Office, spear phishing will be a very serious problem."
Spear-phishing attacks are the more targeted iterations of the mass-market scam threats that show up in your e-mail inbox every day.
After hacking their way into major organizations by attacking individual employees using the threats, criminals are gathering the data and materials necessary to turn around and carry out successful campaigns against those organizations' customers and constituents, in addition to making off with intellectual property and other valuable information, Mandia said.
For example, an attacker wishing to carry out some form of campaign against a specific company might simply peruse the Web in search of personal Web pages, or profiles of social networking sites such as MySpace until they find the details of an employee of the firm.
Having deduced what types of communications the person might be open to accepting -- such as e-mail from another site member or someone anonymous with similar social interests -- the attacker then creates a threat through which they attempt to exploit the individual's computer to break into break into the targeted employer's network.
These types of attacks are occurring frequently, and taking their toll on everyone from government contractors to online trading firms, according to the investigator, who said his company has been involved in investigations of similar attacks at two large organizations within the last month alone.

Known only as Gossip Girl and given narrative voice by actress Kristen Bell, she turned out to be a he. The Monday night finale revealed Gossip Girl was secretly the work of character Dan Humphrey.
Dan, played by Penn Badgley, was a budding poet and a student at Manhattan's posh St. Jude's Preparatory School for Boys. But he came from the other side of the tracks, or rather, from Brooklyn, across the East River.
His Gossip Girl blog was a sassy tell-all account of the lives of the privileged young adults who made up the CW drama. Other series stars included Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Chace Crawford.
At the end, Dan fittingly pronounced Gossip Girl dead.

Adult Attention Deficit Disorder
Approximately 10 percent of kids in the United States have been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Although we know ADD can persist into adulthood, we don't know how many adults are affected by it.
Host Charity Nebbe talks with Rick Green, the co-creator and one of the stars of Iowa Public Television's Red Green Show. He was also diagnosed with ADD as an adult. He wrote about how this diagnosis changed his life in "ADD Stole My Car Keys." Charity also talks with clinical psychologist Dr. Morgain Hall who treats adults with ADD.

#Tip: Finding 'real-time coverage' on Google News
If you're interested in finding out the latest reporting across the web on a given story, Google News offers the ability to view 'realtime overage', as highlighted in this post which we came across after it was shared by Gibran Ashraf on the Open Newsroom community set up by Storyful on Google+ (more on that here).
In the post, Google explains how to use the feature:
When you click the top right corner of the news story's box, it will expand to include a button for "See realtime coverage." Clicking on this will lead you to a page of articles exclusively about this story that automatically updates with new articles.
This could be useful for journalists who need to keep on top of how others are covering particular stories on their path, or perhaps the latest coverage in breaking news situations.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Trenton has tied its record for most homicides in a year.
Authorities say 26-year-old city resident Jafar Lewis was shot and killed Friday night during a confrontation on a city street, making him the 31st person killed in Trenton this year. That ties the record set in 2005.
It's not yet clear what sparked the dispute that led to Lewis' death.
Authorities say he was in a car with some other people and the assailant's vehicle was alongside that car when the dispute got heated. Both men then exited their vehicles, and the shooting occurred around 9:20 p.m. on Middle Rose Street.
Lewis was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead early Saturday. The assailant fled the scene and remained at large Saturday.
