Upcoming RSA Conference Talk: Hacking's Gilded Age – How APIs Will Increase Risk & Chaos
I'm going to be speaking about API security at next week's 2012 RSA Conference. I gave this talk the provocative title Hacking's Gilded Age — How APIs Will Increase Risk & Chaos. It's scheduled for Friday, March 2, 2012 at 10:10am in room 302.
Here's the long form of the abstract, which gives a little more detail of what I'm going to cover in the talk than the short abstract that's online does:
This session will explore why APIs (which are largely RESTful services) are fundamentally different than conventional Web sites, despite the fact that they share common elements such as the HTTP protocol. Web sites abstract back-end applications behind a veneer of HTML that should — if it is well-designed — constrain capability and thus limit an organization's security exposure. APIs, in contrast, represent a more explicit interface leading directly into applications. These often self-document their intent and thus provide a hacker with important clues that may reveal potential attack vectors — from penetration to denial-of-service. Because of this, APIs require a much more sophisticated model for access control, confidentiality around parameters, integrity of transactions, attack detection, throttling and auditing.
But aside from the technological differences, there are cultural differences in the Web development community that considerably increase the risk profile of using APIs. Many API developers have backgrounds in Web site development and fail to understand why APIs demand a more rigorous security model than the Web sites they were trained on. In a misguided attempt to promote agility, convenience is often chosen over precaution and rigor. The astonishingly rapid rise of RESTful services over SOAP, OAuth over SAML, API keys over certificates and SSL (or nothing) over WS-Security is a testament to fast-and-informal prevailing over complex-and-standardized.
Nevertheless, it is certainly possible to build secure APIs and this session will demonstrate specifically how you can spearhead a secure and scalable API strategy. For every bad practice, we will offer an alternative pattern that is simple-but-secure. We will explicitly show how the API community is dangerously extending some Web paradigms, such as avoiding general use of SSL or not protecting security tokens, into the API world where the cost of failure is far greater. And finally, we will prescribe a series of directives that will steer developers away from the risky behaviors that are the norm on the conventional Web.
I hope you can attend. And if you do, please come up after the talk and say hello.
See you next week in San Francisco!

Here Comes the BacklogA column article, Mission: Professional by: Steven Savage
Do you remember when manga didn't occupy multiple shelves in your local bookstores? Me, I have trouble remembering it because it's been so long – and I'm an old geek.
Manga, and its relatives such as manhwa, seem to be increasingly popular and available in many bookstores. Of course, if you consider it, comics are relatively easy to translate and export - you just need the art and the right interpreter. In an age of e-comics it's even easier because you don't have to make a physical copy.
Now, think of all the manga, manhwa, and other comics out there in the world that aren't available in the US (or your country of residence). Think of the huge backlog out there because comics are a very popular form of art, entertainment, and communication. Think of all the stuff that could be over here.
Think about how technology makes it easier.
Now, ask yourself what that means for comics and for your professional ambitions if they involve comics or media. Ask yourself what it means when a world of comics can go beyond their native country and native language with a good interpreter and some graphic magic.
Me? I'm not sure what this means in its entirety. I'm not sure what comics out there may have universal appeal, or appeal over here (or were you are). My lack of knowledge actual makes me curious, as well as a bit nervous. Thus, I bring it up as something future, in media professionals–and current ones–should keep in mind.
It's something intriguing to speculate about. For all we know, out there in some other country, perhaps even one we don't associate with comics and comic books, the next hit could be waiting to be translated. Something classic could be a new discovery in other countries–or something new is about to become the hot new thing and blow us all away. We just don't know.
With an increasingly globalized world, with the technology to translate and deliver media quickly, the next, kit, the next cultural crossover can come from anywhere at any time. And we'll probably be caught flat–footed by it.
(Though having written this, at least we can say we suspected it. Sort of.)
So the backlog is out there. It can be translated and distributed fast and effectively. What happens?
Maybe it's time for modern comic professionals to be a bit nervous about that possibility. Maybe those of us working in comics and related profession need to look over shoulders a bit more, follow the news a bit more carefully and ask questions of what property out there in the world could suddenly surprise us.
Or maybe, of course, if we can figure out what it is we might be able to take advantage of it...
The Backlog is there, in the world. We're not sure how big, but we know it's there and it can be brought out. Let's make that part of our plans if it affects our careers...

Day One Results (PDF)
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
– A slow start in the first round dropped the Jacksonville University women's golf team back in the pack, but the Dolphins began to dig their way out of the hole in Monday afternoon's second round and will enter the final round on Tuesday in 14th place at the Web.com Intercollegiate, hosted by JU at the Marsh Landing Country Club.

Goldin has this to say about government in the era of globalization: "We need to understand that the governance structure in the world is fossilized. It cannot begin to cope with the challenges that this [globalization] will bring. We have to develop a new way of managing the planet, collectively, through collective wisdom."
The United Nations is, arguably, one existing venue for 'managing the planet, collectively, through collective wisdom.' Research the history of the United Nations, the scope of its activities, its accomplishments and its failings. Do you think the UN could, with some modification, meet the needs that Goldin and others have articulated? Sponsor a debate or discussion with others who have investigated the question and compare your results.

1 Corinthians 9:25-27 "Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize."

Really though, why do motherfuckers here at the job, wait til the LAST SECOND to coordinate their time to vote. I'm responsible for so much shit around here, and the LAST thing I wanna do, is adjust a fuckin' schedule before tomorrow morning.
Seriously, didn't our employees know that early voting was encouraged? I know that we mentioned it about 2 weeks ago. Nevermind, our people here are so freakin' Johnny come lately about every damn thing...so why am I even surprised?
Whose going to worry about shit running smoothly in the morning or picking up people's slack if they leave early? Ohhh, don't worry about, we can just inconvenience Mr. Shelton with some more horseshit, he doesn't mind. And here I am, dealing with the horseshit.
If folks here acted like they didn't know about early voting, then I can only imagine their knowledge on what the ballots read. I tell ya man, there are some special motherf*ckers here...sad but true. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/no2.gif)

Last week's topsy turvy ride did as much to sort out league hierarchy as it did to confuse it.
While Riverside King's stunning victory over Corona Centennial — not quite the Sam Finley Welcome Home party — was newsworthy, it's true impact is on the race for second place in the Big VIII League between King, Corona Santiago and Eastvale Roosevelt.
Two key injuries Friday night to Temecula Valley's top two scorers figure to play a huge role in the outcome of the Southwestern League as Temecula Great Oak attempts to hold its one-game lead and hold off Murrieta Mesa and Murrieta Valley.
Temecula Valley plays at Great Oak on Tuesday at at Murrieta Valley on Thursday. With the Golden Bears severely diminished, Thursday game where Mesa travels to Great Oak should be to determine if the Wolfpack win it outright or it ends in a three-way tie.
The Inland Valley League sorted its top order last week when Riverside North went to Moreno Valley Rancho Verde and earned a split in their season series and will likely share the crown. Riverside Arlington, sitting two games back in third, could make a statement this week when it hits the road to play both the Mustangs and the Huskies.
In the Sunbelt, the title will come down to Tuesday's affair at Perris where Elsinore will bring its 39-game league winning streak across the belly of the region for what expects to be one of the season's highlight games. (The first one certainly was, with the Tigers pulling it out on last-second free throws.)
The Mountain Pass League will be interesting to watch play out. Beaumont has a one-game lead but must play runner-up Hemet and then travel to Tahquitz looking to avenge its only league loss.
The Citrus Belt might as well be called the Hot Potato League because no one seems to want it. Redlands East Valley enters the final week with a one-game lead; Fontana Miller, Rialto Eisnhower, and San Bernardino Cajon are each just a game back. REV needs to win at Ike and then hold off Cajon to claim the crown.
The River Valley League will likely end in a tie between Jurupa Valley and Riverside La Sierra, which split their season series.
Colton (Sunkist), Elsinore (Sunbelt), Temecula Linfield Christian (Ambassador), Riverside Christian (Warrior) and San Bernardino (San Andreas) each have the opportunity to achieve something the likes of Centennial and Rancho Verde no longer can: Go undefeated in league.
This week's Top 12:
1. Centennial (23-2, 7-1; 1AA): Riverside King put an end to their modest little league winning streak, stifling the Huskies 75-71. Now that the Huskies are wounded, it will be interesting to see if this week's opponents have what it takes to pounce. This week: at Roosevelt (Feb. 5), vs. Santiago (Feb. 7). Last week: 1.
2. North (21-3, 9-1; 2AA): Coach Mike Bartee's Huskies extended their winning streak to seven games overall when they knocked off Valley View (60-46) and won at Rancho Verde (57-49) to move into a first-place tie for the Inland Valley League lead. This week: at Riverside Poly (Feb. 4), vs. Arlington (Feb. 6). Last week: 3.
3. Rancho Verde (19-5, 9-1; 1AA): The Mustangs' 13-game Inland Valley League winning streak dating to last season was shattered last week by North (57-49), meaning the league race will almost certainly end in a tie. The Mustangs need to hold off Riverside Arlington (Feb. 4) and win at Vista del Lago (Feb. 6) in order to maintain at least a share of the crown. Last week: 2.
4. Elsinore (19-6, 8-0; 2A): The Tigers stretched their Sunbelt League winning streak to 39 games with wins at Lakeside (60-50) and at home against Temescal Canyon (43-31) on an emotional night honoring longtime volleyball coaches Kim Horton and Lonnie "Chip" Roberson. The streak and the outright league title are both on the line Tuesday when the Tigers travel to play at Perris (Feb. 5). If they survive that, the Feb. 7 game vs. Heritage, winless in league, isn't a gimme. Elsinore only won by four in the first round. Last week: 5.
5. Great Oak (15-8, 6-2; 1AA): Coach Robert Hickey's Wolfpack have won four of their last five Southwestern League games to seize control of the league lead. They did it last week, defeating Vista Murrieta (77-36) and Chaparral (55-45). This week: at Temecula Valley (Feb. 5) and vs. Murrieta Mesa (Feb. 7). Last week: 6(tie).
6. Roosevelt (15-9, 5-3; 1AA): Coach Romone Neal's Mustangs lost to Santiago (56-50) before beating up on Norco (62-37). With Centennial losing Thursday at King, the loss to Santiago really stings the 'Stangs, who would have been able to forge a tie for the league title when they face Centennial this Tuesday. Now, even if Roosevelt wins, they still need Santiago to knock off the Huskies. The prospect of Centennial dropping its final three games in the league play is highly unlikely. This week: vs. Centennial (Feb. 5), at Corona (Feb. 7). Last week: 4.
7. Murrieta Valley (17-7, 5-3; 2AA): Coach Steve Tarabilda's Nighthawks have won three in a row and four of five overall following road victories last week at Murrieta Mesa (58-53) and at Vista Murrieta (61-43). The This week: vs. Chaparral (Feb. 5), at Temecula Valley (Feb. 7). Last week: 9.
8. Murrieta Mesa (15-10, 5-3; 3AAA): Coach Russell Ham's Rams lost a heartbreaker to Murrieta Valley (58-53) before rallying to knock off Temecula Valley (73-65). By sweeping road games at Vista Murrieta (Feb. 5) and Great Oak (Feb. 7), the Rams would a minimum gain a share of their first Southwestern League title. Last week: 6(tie).
9. King (14-11, 5-3; 1AA): Sweeping Corona (78-72) and Centennial (75-71) has coach Tim Sweeney's Wolves back on the map — and in the rankings for the first time. They have won four of five and are in position to steal second place in the mighty Big VIII League if they can sweep again this week, at Santiago (Feb. 5) and vs. winless Norco (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
10. Santiago (17-8, 4-4; 1A): For the fourth week in a row coach David Humphreys' Sharks split Big VIII League games, beating Roosevelt (56-50) before losing at Corona (57-53). This week: vs. King (Feb. 5), at Centennial (Feb. 7). Last week: 8.
11. Arlington (16-7, 8-3; 3AA): Coach John Seydel's Lions rolled through Canyon Springs (81-55) in their only Inland Valley League game last week. Arlington could make a lot of noise this week when it hits the road for games against the league's top two teams: Rancho Verde (Feb. 4) and North (Feb. 6). Last week: 10.
12. Beaumont (19-5, 7-1; 2A): Coach Jon Florence's Cougars easily handled Citrus Hill (68-48) and San Jacinto (66-55) last week and are in position to win the Mountain Pass League title. But, to do it, they must knock off second-place Hemet and then go on the road to Tahquitz and avenge their only league loss. No easy road. This week: vs. Hemet (Feb. 6), at Tahquitz (Feb. 8). Last week: NR.
Others considered …
Cajon (17-8, 5-3; 2AA): Coach Randy Murray's Cowboys swept Citrus Belt League games, beating Redlands (49-45) and Yucaipa (58-37) to remain in the hunt for the league title. This week: vs. Miller (Feb. 5), at REV (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Chaparral (14-11, 3-5; 1AA): Coach Ed Coyle's Pumas have now dropped four consecutive Southwestern League games following last week's losses to Temecula Valley (79-69) and at Great Oak (65-55). This week: at Murrieta Valley (Feb. 5), vs. Vista Murrieta (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Colton (18-4, 8-0; 3AA): Coach Ty Gordon's Yellowjackets wrapped up the Sunkist League title with victories over Grand Terrace (73-47) and at Fontana (56-41). Bloomington gave the 'Jackets their closest scare in league play (51-50 on Jan. 17) and that rematch looms this week as Colton guns for an undefeated league season. This week: vs. Bloomington (Feb. 5), vs. Kaiser (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Corona (16-7, 3-5, 1AA): Once the area's No. 2 ranked team, coach Chris Maffucci's Panthers continued their inconsistent Big VIII League play last week, losing to King (78-72) before knocking off Santiago (57-53). They will need to win at winless Norco (Feb. 5) and at home against Roosevelt (Feb. 7) just to break even in league play. Last week: NR.
Hemet (16-6, 6-2; 2A): Coach Jared Wells' Bulldogs dropped back out of the rankings after splitting Mountain Pass League games, beating West Valley (61-41) before getting crushed at home to Citrus Hill (66-36). The league title will be on the line Wednesday (Feb. 6) when the Bulldogs travel to Beaumont. This week: at Beaumont (Feb. 6), vs. San Jacinto (Feb. 8). Last week: 12.
Jurupa Valley (19-4, 7-1; 3AA): Coach Mark Gard's Jaguars split River Valley League games last week, losing to La Sierra (50-49) and defeating Patriot (65-56). The loss to La Sierra leaves both teams in a tie for the league lead. This week: vs. Norte Vista (Feb. 5), at Ramona (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Miller (14-8, 5-3; 2AA): Coach John Romagnoli's Rebels split Citrus Belt League games for the second week in a row, losing at Redlands East Valley (64-55) and defeating Eisenhower (70-59). This week: at Cajon (Feb. 5), at Yucaipa (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Perris (16-9, 7-1; 2AA): Coach Elzie Landers' Panthers stretched their league winning streak to four in a row last week, beating Paloma Valley (80-57) and winning at Lakeside (64-58). A share of the Sunbelt League title is on the line when they play host to Elsinore on Tuesday (Feb. 5). The Tigers won 52-51 on last-second free throws when the teams played Jan. 17 at Elsinore. This week: vs. Elsinore (Feb. 5), vs. Temescal Canyon (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
Redlands East Valley (18-7, 6-2; 2A): Coach Bill Berich's Wildcats have won four in a row to take control of the Citrus Belt League lead. Last week they beat Miller (64-55) and won at rival Redlands (55-50). This week: moved into a three-way tie for first place after sweeping Citrus Belt League games at Cajon (48-45) and at Yucaipa (67-40). This week. at Eisenhower (Feb. 5), vs. Cajon (Feb. 7). Last week: NR.
San Bernardino (14-10, 8-0; 3AAA): Coach Darin Graham's Cardinals continued to roll through the San Andreas League, rolling to wins at San Gorgonio (68-46) and over Arroyo Valley (62-51). The Cardinals look to close out an undefeated league season when they play this week at Rialto (Feb. 6) and vs. Pacific (Feb. 8). Last week: NR.
Temecula Valley (14-11, 4-4; 2AA): Coach Kyle Armstrong's Golden Bears suffered the ultimate triple-whammy on Friday night when they lost their top two scorers to injury and subsequently lost a late lead and the game at Murrieta Mesa (73-65). Without seniors Brandon Rosser (knee) and Michael Price (concussion), whom Armstrong has ruled out, the Golden Bears will be hard-pressed to make an impact on the final week of the rugged Southwestern League season. This week: vs. Great Oak (Feb. 5), vs. Murrieta Valley (Feb. 7). Last week: 11.

Hi folks,
Just wanna ask, or maybe some OVI guys could share some info about these pre-submission steps..
- For S60 themes: During Carbide.UI 4.1 theme packaging process, do we also need to include the "Allow Copying" and "DRM" options? what are the recommended options for these?
- For S40 themes: AFAIK, there is no Application UID option during packaging, yes S40 using .nth instead of .sis. Do we need to supply the UID during packaging? if yes, how do we achieve that?
very best regards...

Family, Crimestoppers offers $40k reward in unsolved murder
68-year-old Jerry Collins found dead, throat slit
The family of 68-year-old Jerry Collins is working in conjunction with Crime Stoppers to offer a $40,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Collins' killer.
The Vietnam veteran was found dead on Jan. 28, 2012, inside his mobile home on the 800 block of Corrinne Drive.
His throat had been cut and he had been hit in the head with what was believed to be a hammer.
"I strongly feel that God is probably ready for the answers to come forward," said Steve Collins', the victim's son.
"Seems like money talks. Therefore, let it talk," he said.
Collins lived in his mobile home behind Rittiman Hardware on Eisenhauer, which he owned. He left behind 2 sons, 6 grandchildren, an ex-wife and a girlfriend of 8 years.
"This is not a natural thing this is not something you can deal with. This is someone who has taken something from us," said the younger Collins.
He says certain things found in his father's home seemed amiss. For example, Colllins says his father always kept a loaded gun by his side, but after his murder the gun was found unloaded.
"You go to bed every night and pray, and you get up every morning and pray that we could get closure on this," he said.
A year later, the family hopes $40,000 is enough to get them answers and justice.
"Regardless of how minute you think it is, it could be astronomical for us," said Collins. "So don't say they don't count, because it could."

COLUMN By DR. MARTY KLEIN
For HumanistNetworkNews.org
Sept. 16, 2009
Both sides agree-the whole fight over same-gender marriage and other civil rights for gays is about the right to decide what's normal.
Now there's nothing more normal than ice cream, and there's no ice cream more delicious than Ben & Jerry's. The brand is playful, too, with flavors like Berried Treasure, Economic Crunch, and my favorite, Cherry Garcia.
Combining the two, the Vermont-based company is celebrating the legalization of same-gender marriage in Vermont by renaming their "Chubby Hubby" flavor "Hubby Hubby."
The move is both subtle and direct. Subtle insofar as nobody's yelling about anything. Direct in that when a kid reaches for a container of it, or a parent pays for it, "Hubby Hubby" is what it is. Two grooms, right there on the label.
That's partly how this social justice issue is going to be resolved, once and for all. By people having everyday contact with gay doctors, gay swim coaches, gay neighbors. Gay relatives who are as boring as most relatives. And yes, gay-themed ice cream.
People who think of gay people as a separate species, as a group of sick or damned creatures who must be kept from infecting the rest of us, are fighting a losing battle. And they know it-they're watching their straights-only world crumble piece by piece. On a good day I can really sympathize with their anxiety and sense of impending loss.
On other days I want to remind straight people that this is our fight, too. As long as anyone can be demonized or deprived of simple civil rights (the right to be a foster parent, the right to sit at a dying companion's hospital bed) because of their sexuality, none of us is safe-no one who's into bondage, or non-monogamy, or sex toys, or cybersex, to name a few. In other words, all of us.
Not every hubby-gay or straight-is yummy, but Ben & Jerry's blend of peanut butter, pretzels, chocolate, and vanilla malt ice cream sure is. It's double good-Hubby Hubby.
Ice cream. What could be more normal?

Charlotte County Sheriff's deputies located a stolen rental vehicle out of Miami after the vehicle's occupants stole a purse from a car at a Punta Gorda gas station on Wednesday.
The Punta Gorda Police Department issued a BOLO after reviewing surveillance video that showed a black Chevrolet HHR leaving the gas station after the purse was stolen. Cheryl Peters says it's a habit. She grabs her credit car, but leaves her purse inside the car every time she fills up at the gas pump.
The purse had six credit cards, cash and her cell phone.
"When I got
close to being full, I'm like, 'My tail lights are on,'" said Peters.
She quickly found out her door was open, which was not the way she left it.
"I reached
over and it's like my purse is gone and I'm freaking out. I go like this
and start opening the other doors thinking it's there, then I go inside," she said.
Police say the suspects got out of their car and walked a few feet over to Peters' car, opened the door without making any noise, reached in grabbed her
purse and left it open before going back to their car to get away.
"They were so slick. The car didn't even move," Peters said.
After seeing surveillance footage of the theft, deputies put an alert out on the car.
The Miami rental car company was able to provide GPS locations that directed CCSO deputies to the stolen vehicle.
Deputies followed the vehicle and made a traffic stop on southbound I-75 near King's Highway.
The driver, 29-year-old Marc Ronald Jacques, had two warrants for his arrest from Hernando County.
The passenger, 22-year-old Erica Suzanne Ruiz, gave deputies a false name before discovering she had a warrant for her arrest from St. Lucie County.
Deputies also located four baggies of marijuana in the vehicle, along with the Peters' credit cards, driver's license and cell phone.
Jacques and Ruiz were both transported to the Charlotte County Jail where they both remain on no bond.
Both are charged with Burglary to a Vehicle, Possession of Stolen Credit Cards (6x) and Petit Theft. Jacques is additionally charged with Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute. Ruiz was additionally charged with Providing a False Name to Law Enforcement, and Violation of Probation. They are being held for the outstanding warrants in other counties.

A close call at another Vermont swimming hole Tuesday night.
Rescue crews were called to the Bolton potholes for reports of a swimmer in trouble. Technical rescue crews removed the man from a rocky area on a stretcher. Authorities tell us the swimmer was pulled from the water by friends before rescue crews arrived. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Four people have drowned in Vermont in the last two weeks, two of them in river swimming holes. Authorities have cautioned against swimming in those places while the water levels are abnormally high because of all the recent rain.

Legend has it that there are a couple bolted routs heading up some big walls somewhere in the Misty Fjords National Monument (down on the panhandle; southeast Alaska near Ketchikan). When the weather permits, the climbing would be incredible in many places. It does rain quite frequently and the rock is usually wet, but during the summer months, the occasional sunny hot spells dry out the rock making, "climbing," a goal rather than an activity of leisure. You have to get it while its good. Thus far, it appears that these "legendary" bolted routs are only a myth as no one can pin-point where they are. As far as I know, the entire place is unclimbed, even traditionally. That goes without saying that the potential for new ascents is endless. These "big walls" are glacially carved granite that reach up to 3000 feet and higher directly from the fjords below. As far as establishing this territory as one sought out by climbers, who knows what the future will bring. It is truly difficult to find a more beautiful place than this. This summer I was working as a zip line guide in Ketchikan, Ak. I lived eight miles out of town so I frequently hitched a ride to pick up groceries and extra supplies (or fart around). One day I was picked up by an interesting fellow who planned to lead an excursion up one of these so called "bolted" lines, and inquired if I would like to tag along as part of his team. I told him that as long as he could set up the excursion (pick out the line, organize transportation, etc.) I'm all in. I told him of my understanding that people never climb there and every story I encountered about climbs in the area (which was from 3 people at bars) involved parties being forced to turn around due to weather. One drunken man was even so bold as to tell of an entire team of climbers falling into oblivion and sinking to the depths of the fjords. Even the bartender rolled his eyes in disbelief at his ridiculous tale, epic as it was. Either way, I exchanged contact information with the expedition leader before going on my way. A few weeks went by and I hadn't heard anything of the climb so I e-mailed him to see what he found out. Tourist season was coming to a close and I had loads of free time between work. In a couple more weeks I'd be off to a remote location off the parks highway southwest from Fairbanks, to work with a competitive team of sled dogs for the Yukon Quest 2011 (that didn't go too well and I ended up quitting after the first month). My time in Ketchikan was coming to an end for the year and I was curious if I'd get a chance to climb the fjords or not. He eventually got back to me, after I had left the panhandle, to say that the bolted lines seemed to be a myth after all. If there actually were any long sport routs, no body knew where they were or how to get to them. However, he did choose a trad line he thought would go on a wall over a hanging lake in the monument, but the weather turned and the season was over. I may not have any experience with big walls yet, and not much in trad climbing either, but my goals are indeed lofty. I plan to train hard and gain experience before too long, and who knows what will happen. I can only hope I'll get a shot at the fjords next year.
Excellent photos Chad. There may be a zillion lines just within the cirque itself.
Good luck in your endeavors. I hope you make it back there. From the pics, there appears to be many lines and the rock looks good (from what I can tell). I have no beta for you, nor have I ever been there, but why worry about finding the bolted routes? Scope the shit out with some binoculars and make a FA. Seems like infinite possibilities on that cliff. If you dont have "Big Wall" experience, do you have multi-pitch experience? Hammer out those skills and more possibilities open up for you. Find the climbers in the area (Juneau, Haines, Skagway). Maybe the dude picking up hitch hikers isnt the best resource? I know the weather is a big contender. Its a rainy climate up there and the blue bird days are few and far between. Seems like May might yield the best weather in that neck of the woods? Maybe that's too early? I have had good late Sept weather up there. But its all a gamble in the rain forest anyway. Good luck! Maybe these guys know something?.... www.alaskamountainguides.com/index.php
I'm from Ketchikan and am very interested in climbing in the monument, once I become more proficient on big walls that is. I've heard the rumor that punchbowl cove was climbed at some point but I don't know if it was bolted or not, either way there's a ton of potential there. I'm in Ketchikan now but the weather is horrid and I don't know when I'll spend my next summer here.
mountainproject.com/v/alaska/southeastern_alaskacoastal_rang>>> Check this out for climbing in Skagway. I work for Alaska Mountain Guides and can tell you that there is some good rock around Skagway. Sorry I dont know more about the misty fjords and i know that cragging is not really what you are looking for but i thought you might be interested anyways...
I'm moving up to Ketchikan in January, and if anyone's looking for a partner to go explore and see what we can climb out there, let me know.
I have got to move to Alaska...
I once spent two nights in Misty Fjords Nat. Mon. in a cabin on Hunchback Lake. We flew in an out by float plane. About half the circumference of the lake is unhikable, due to steep, granite walls that must reach over 1000' in height. The walls had some moss on them, but the main problem for climbing would of course be the weather. We were there in late May, and it rained the entire time. The walls there had plenty of crack systems, so you could consider doing a wall climb with few (or maybe zero) bolts.
What's the rock quality like? It's granite, but is it rotten at all?
ROAD TRIP!! Maybe when spring hits I'll make my way up there but ski season is too good in CO and it hasn't even really started.
Sounds like I've found some climbing partners. That's exciting. Alaska, here we come!
I chanced by some good info and thought about this cool forum. Tim Touala, Rock 'n' Road, 2002. Route #21 of the Alaska chapter, Misty Fjords (Devils Punchbowl): "The scenic 3,000' K-F-H Route done in 1994 starts just left of center of the whole wall at the water's edge and follows a steep bushwack up the water channel to a tent ledge at 8,000. Then there is much 5.4 - 5.7 climbing, with a 1,500-2,000' rock staircase (4' wide) of fourth-class simul-climbing with amazing views of the Fjords. Twenty-three double-rope rappels. Very wet." "Kruis-Fitch-Highleyman Route, III 7."
the rock quality is generally very high on the south faces. There is going to be a great deal of moss and lichen... deal with it. Southeast Alaska probably has the highest concentration of unclimbed unexplored rock in North America. Sure the weather is pretty rough, the access can be challenging or expensive, but it is an adventure. So give up your orange mocha frapachinos for a few weeks, pack two sets of shells, a mosquito net and come on up. When the weather breaks this place will blow your mind.
Interesting indeed. I have heaps of new knowledge and experience since that origional post. I have been climbing traditionally and stomping tons of technical mixed lines in the Alaskan alpine like an adict for the past couple years. I even went out and got cerified to guide mountaineering trips in heavily glaciated terraine. Lookin back at this post, I sort feel like I am ready to lead my own expedition to the Misty Fjords and explore some of the fine cimbing that is to be had there. I may start looking for partners very soon as the winter will likely come and go leadin to an excelant climbing season down there in the fjords before too long.

Study areas
Accounting is the systematic recording, reporting, and analysis of financial transactions. It can be done on a large scale - for international corporations - or for individuals or for any sized business in-between. There are agreed national and international rules and regulations that govern the work of accountants. Accounting allows a company to analyse its financial performance, and report important statistics such as profit and loss to managers and shareholders.
Finance is often defined simply as the management of money. This can relate to the finances of individuals and families, of businesses, and of governments. It can include consideration of investment risks. Retail, investment and other banks offer financial services which are designed to assist with money management, making them an important part of a financial system.
Graduates in Business Law typically provide in-house advice that enables organisations to operate effectively in the complex legal environment that governs business activities. They deal with the business implications of national and state laws relating to areas such as contracts, trade practices, employment, insurance, wills and estate planning, and consumer and creditor protection as well as real estate, tax, and the environment.
Business strategists develop action plans that are designed to guide business operations and investment decisions, and to maximise returns on investment. Business strategies are continually reviewed and updated to take into account new opportunities or unforeseen circumstances, such as a global financial crisis, or the entry into the market of a new competitor business.
Econometricians use mathematical techniques to make predictions about the impact of an economic change. Econometricians could answer questions like: What will be the impact of a proposed taxation change? Does changing a work environment in a certain way improve productivity? Answering these types of questions helps decision makers in industry and government to understand the economic impact of different policy options.
Economists analyse the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. They focus on how individuals, households, firms and governments interact and how economies work. Microeconomics examines the behaviour of buyers and sellers in the economy while macroeconomics analyses the entire economy and issues affecting it, including unemployment, inflation, economic growth, and monetary and fiscal policy.
Finance and economics is an interdisciplinary field of study combining economics and finance. The issues of how financial markets impact on the economy, and how the economy influences financial markets, are important for business and public policy decision-making.
Human resource professionals are typically responsible for making sure a workplace is productive, harmonious and safe. They manage staff recruitment and salary payments, and provide managers with expert advice on conflict resolution and staff retention.
International business covers all business transactions involving participants from two or more countries. It is a field of management which deals with the special features of moving goods, services, capital, personnel, information and technology between countries.
If you are interested in a business degree you will probably want, at some point in your career, to move into a management role. Managers plan, organise, lead, and control. Good managers are essential to the successful running of any business no matter what its size.
Identifying and satisfying customer needs profitably form the basis of marketing. It includes creating, communicating, delivering and exchanging goods and services that have value to potential customers and, often, building strong relationships between an organisation and its customers. It can include market research, product development and communication strategies as well as product delivery logistics.
An understanding of Marketing and Marketing Communication is considered essential to enable businesses to respond to customers (and other stakeholders) in an increasingly dynamic business environment. Graduates with skills in marketing and communication are now in high demand by commercial and not-for-profit organisations. This course has a strong applied focus and is designed to cultivate graduate skills.
Psychology examines human nature: how we interact, operate and think. It is concerned with problem-solving, perception, decision making and communication. Business psychology seeks to adapt this understanding to assist organisations to operate more effectively.
Note: Second major only; and some units will be undertake at Clayton campus.
Sport is a global business and one of the world's most important cultural activities. Sport management focuses on the cultural and economic influences of sport as well as its marketing and administration.
The study of tourism includes the behaviour and motivations of tourists, businesses that service tourists and the economic, social and environmental impacts of tourism. Skills developed are primarily in management, marketing and business studies and, accordingly, prepare graduates for work in wide variety of tourism industries.
Note:This area of study is only available as a 4 unit minor
The earliest years of a child's education are critical. Studies in early childhood allow students to gain a deeper understanding of child development, learn theories and early childhood pedagogy, build understanding of early childhood curriculum development, critically reflect on current issues in early childhood education, family studies and research, and gain an appreciation for the culturally diverse situations of early childhood settings.
Studies in primary education provides a comprehensive knowledge of the theoretical foundations of education, curriculum studies and provides practical experiences. Students complete professional placements in schools and other appropriate settings, including opportunities to gain overseas or remote practical experiences.
The study of sport and outdoor recreation is tailor-made for people who want to develop their knowledge and passion for sport and outdoor recreation, and who have an interest in the relationship between physical activity, recreation and leisure, health and wellbeing, sustainability, leadership and education, and sports and movement studies. Students combine in-depth academic study with exciting teaching placements and fieldwork programs. Students undertake analysis of the theories of sport and outdoor recreation plus complete a sequence in another discipline selected from a range of business, science, arts and education subjects.
Students can choose units in nursing or nursing practice. Students will undertake major studies in Behavioural science, Biosciences, Clinical studies, Community Health, Health Promotion, Mental Health and Nursing. The areas covered in the curriculum meet currently accepted standards of nursing practice as set down in the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Accreditation Council (Anmac) National Competencies for the Registered Nurse.

Traffic cops flood the streets to restore order
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Police from the Traffic Division have intensified their operations along routes in the Corporate Area as part of efforts to clamp down on illegal bus and taxi operators.
"Since last Monday the police have intensified their operations to rid the streets of illegal operators," said Senior Supt Radcliffe Lewis, head of the division.
Lewis said the operations today would focus on sections of Mountain View Avenue to Half-Way-Tree; Duhaney Park to Papine; and along Washington Boulevard.
Last week, the Transport Authority warned that it would continue its crack down on hackney carriage operators to ensure "greater compliance and discipline" in the public transportation sector.
The Transport Authority warned that part of the clamp down would focus on operators who attempt to transport more than three passengers at a time and route taxis letting off or picking up passengers along specific routes in the Kingston Metropolitan Transport Region.
The Authority said additionally, no licences have been granted for route taxis along the Mountain View to downtown; downtown to Papine; or Papine to Half-Way-Tree corridors.
The statement came on the heels of a protest by dozens of taxi operators in Half-Way-Tree last week.
They protested that the Authority's actions were preventing them from making a living.

Alison Byerly has been named the new president of Lafayette College, the school announced Wednesdsay morning.
Byerly, who will take office July 1, replacing current President Daniel Weiss, who is stepping down to become president of Haverford College.
She is also the first female president of an inistitutation that began admitting women in 1970.
In a news release, Byerly said she was "excited by the opportunity to lead such a dynamic and ambitious institution."
"As an undergraduate college that encompasses both the traditional liberal arts and a strong engineering program, Lafayette provides an extraordinary range and depth of opportunities to students, yet it remains deeply committed to the highly individualized, one-on-one mentoring that is the hallmark of the residential liberal arts college," she said.
Byerly met briefly with reporters Wednesday afternoon at the college's Pfenning Alumni Center, and spoke about some of the challenges facing the school, including struggles with the Greek system, and underage drinking.
Before Lafayette, Byerly served as provost at Middlebury College in Vermont, and has been a visiting scholar at MIT, Stanford and Oxford.

One Colorado barber shop owner is taking a stand, and refusing to serve customers who reek of marijuana.
No one in this shop is getting near a barber while smelling like pot. Although owner, Hugo Corral, has nothing against marijuana users, he says many of his customers with children began expressing their frustration about the issue.
Corral then put the no-pot policy in place and even hung a sign in his window.
"I feel that it's my right to make the statement...it's the same thing as no shoes no service," Corral said. "When people call...a mother calls and says hey we can't go in there anymore because we don't want it to smell like marijuana when my child is sitting there waiting."
"Its a good idea...I appreciate it," said customer Diana Flores.
He says people have ripped the sign off. He's even had to clean spit off his front door.
Marijuana is regulated from seed to sale in the Colorado. USA Today reports Pot is the third most popular recreational drug in America, after alcohol and tobacco, according to the marijuana reform group NORML.
Hugo says no matter the negative feedback his policy is here to stay.

The bunnies live in a cushy hutch set up under a lovely shade tree, but they still need a frozen water bottle to lie on, which I have to replace several times a day in this heat.
So I get there, armed with carrots and lettuce, but they look at me with their big bunny eyes, pleading with me to let them out into the small enclosed backyard for a romp.
I am such a sucker.
"Okay, but just for a half-hour or so," I say, opening the door to the hutch.
At first, it seemed fine. They hopped out, twitching their noses and ears, looking around like, "Shall we mosey around the patio or explore the gardens first?"
Fred's eye meets Ginger's, and I swear this is true: He winked at her!
And they split. Fred zigged, Ginger zagged, and I was left staring after them, holding the melting water bottle.
I eeny-meeny-miney-moed and went after Ginger first. I tracked her to the end of the walkway, where the bushes ended at a fence, and spotted her under a thick bush.
Rule No. 1 for bunny-wranglers: Don't shake the bush and scare the bunny!
Twenty minutes later, I had her in my sights again, but luckily, her back was to me. I had learned my lesson, and I sneaked up behind her, channeling my inner stealthy tiger.
With Ginger secure in the hatch, I set out after Fred, by far the Machiavellian of the two.
Rule No. 2 for bunny-wranglers: Bunnies think it's funny to make you sweat.
An hour later, after a quick break in which I laid on my back holding the frozen water bottle to my red, overheated face, I caught a break in the form of Seymour the cat. Apparently, she wanted to settle on the patio for her afternoon nap, and I was disrupting the peace with all my yelling.
After a glare that clearly conveyed what an imbecile I was, she simply pounced… not on Fred, but at him.
Fred rocketed straight up and landed right on top of the hutch, begging me to let him in.
Oh, sure, now he's agreeable. Hmph.
Which leads me to Rule No. 3 for bunny-wranglers: Make sure you alert the cat before attempting to wrangle bunnies.

Why won't anyone open the door for me? I really have to go to the bathroom!
on Apr 7, 2009 at 9:03 pm
The same thing happened to me a year ago. I usually do not open the door to strangers. He must have heard me at the door because he said the same thing out loud to me. He said something to the effect of "Don't worry, I'm one of your neighbors". He was not a neighbor so I never opened the door. He did linger a bit though. He must be selling something...Thanks for the heads up.

There was a group of door-to-door solicitors coming around our neighborhood both Sunday (April 5th) and Monday (April 6th). I know some think it's wrong, but I play it safe and don't answer the door if I don't recognize the caller or don't see a young boy scout or girl scout :) Not sure if Jane above was referring to this current year with the day of the week and the date(?), but yes, I also saw the big white vans dropping the young 20ish solicitors off and cruising the neighborhood to pick them up after their rounds.

Apologies for the less than pro formatting...
Not my work, but if every promising Spurs youngster could follow the Holtby path (hello Tom Carroll, Alex Pritchard, and on and on), Spurs will be in very good position in the future. In a nutshell, Holtby faced challenging loans at a young age, and had to adapt and play multiple positions, depending on the loan. He was not an immediate success for Schalke, and had to prove himself at each level, while being young for each league. Granted, loaning players does not always work as each player is different, and maybe especially in England where the Championship favors physicality. I leave that question to those who follow England's lower leagues.
I think it would be a mistake to dismiss Holtby so soon.
I know they are very different players, but for fun, who will have the better career, Lewis Holtby or Tom Carroll?

The award "honors a female and male character actor, 50 years of age or older, for the best performance in a supporting role in a Broadway or Off-Broadway production," said Equity in a statement. As such, it is a complement to the 59-year-old Clarence Derwent Awards, which annually honor "the most promising female and male performers on the New York metropolitan scene."
The winners receive $1,000 each.
The presentation will take place at 2 PM July 13, 2004, at the offices of Actors' Equity Association, 165 West 46th Street, New York.
In contrast, Cat was Martindale's Broadway debut. She was in the original production of Steel Magnolias and also appeared Off-Broadway in Curse of the Starving Class and The Miss Firecracker Contest.
Both actors are nominated for 2004 Tony Awards.

The health, growth and development of the foetus depend on the nutritional
status of the mother before conception and during pregnancy. Women who
are underweight or overweight at the time of conception are at a greater
risk of developing complications during pregnancy, labour and delivery and having premature and low birth weight infants. However, once pregnant, women should not try to lose weight but should have adequate nutrition throughout pregnancy as this is the time when the foetus requires extra nutritional requirements which can only be met by dietary intake and body stores.
As a follow-up to the first issue on physical activity, Nyam News continues this series by showing how physical activity can be promoted.
Garlic is a member of the lily family (Liliaceae). It is also closely related
to the onion, shallot, leek and chive. There are many varieties of garlic
but the most widely used variety is Allium sativum, which is the garlic
used as a spice. The majority of the plant is considered edible including
the leaves, stems and flowers. These are usually consumed while immature.
The most commonly used part is the underground bulb, which is comprised
of several cloves joined together and encased in a papery covering.
Adults should choose a variety of nutrient rich foods containing vitamins,
minerals, carbohydrates and proteins and foods low in fat to be healthy
and for the prevention of chronic diseases. Research has shown that
excess intakes of fat, sugar, cholesterol, salt and alcohol are contributing
factors to many illnesses including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and
cancer. It is very important that adults balance their energy intake food
with physical activity in order to maintain an appropriate body weight and
to prevent the accumulation of fat which leads to obesity.
Children aged two to five years have high energy and nutrient needs
because of their continued growth and development. To ensure that
the preschoolers diet is nutritionally adequate, it should be based on a
wide variety of foods from the six food groups. This will provide sufficent
energy and nutrients required for good health and physical and mental

New information from a study shows some bed bugs can carry drug resistant bacteria - even MRSA.
Five bed bugs were tested and experts say while they carry the superbug bacteria, they are unclear of how bed bugs got the bacteria.
Dr. Scott Mahan, an infectious disease specialist, says there hasn't been any association between the bed bugs transmitting the disease to humans.
Mahan also says while the bacteria is drug resistant, "They are resistant to the drugs we used maybe 10 or 15 years ago. That doesn't mean there aren't drugs that can work against them."
So the bottom line - try and avoid bed bugs if you can.

activities and attractions in Pompano Beach Atlantic Coast South
Short drive to the fort Lauderdale airport. Located within 30 minutes drive to Miami Beach, Miami Downtown and Miami International Airport.
Owner's Favorities:
Sicilian Oven: Great pizza and Publix Supermarket is next door. Address: 2486 North Federal Highway, Lighthouse Point, FL 33064-6812.
Bonefish Mac's Sports Grill: located on federal at 33rd behind the CVS pharmacy. It is not far beyond the sicilian oven. Bonefish has a game area for kids, screen tvs with sports and awesome food. The Mahi-Mahi a la Oscar is delicious. Conch fritters are divine. The grilled Mahi-Mahi sandwich is great. Go early as lines build. Address: 2002 NE 36th St, Pompano Beach, Florida 33064.
Duffy's Sports Grill: On federal Highway about a block from Hillsboro Blvd. and Federal Hwy. intersection going towards Boca. Once again a sports atmosphere. Build a cupcake is a child's favorite. Address: 401 North Federal Highway, Deerfield Beach, FL.
Boomer's in Boca Raton: When their children were growing up they liked going to Boomer's off of Glades. It is a one of a kind indoor/outdoor amusement facility. It has been years since their kids were that age. But they would rock climb, go kart, bumper boat and play games. Just a thought. Address: 3100 Airport Road, Boca Raton, FL.
Nick's Italian Restaurant: NICK'S on A1A just before Oakland Park. Super pasta and pizza with a heavy Italian emphasis. The kids liked it because they have a "make your own pizza" for the kids. The waitress brings out a personal pan size pizza crust with various topping options. The kids put the sauce and the toppings on the pizza and then the waitress takes the pizza to be cooked. My kids would make smiley faces out of the pepperoni. Address: 3496 North Ocean Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale.
WHALE'S RIB in Deerfield Beach: at the boardwalk down by the pier. This is a landmark restaurant. Probably most known by the locals for when the servers won the multi million dollar lottery from a ticket they bought together. They all love working at the whales rib so they all continued working after winning the lottery. Just a fun fact. Anyway, after eating walk the pier. Make sure to take your camera. At night you can park and walk the boardwalk as well. The ocean is beautiful at night. Make sure to take quarters for the meters as it is a quarter for 10 minutes. Address: 2031 Northeast 2nd Street, Deerfield Beach,FL 33441-3816.
Hillsboro Inlet Fishing Fleet: A big fun option is the Helen S deep sea fishing boat. It goes out 3 times a day-I think 8 am, 1pm and 6 pm ( make sure to ask about their current schedule). You can actually see the boat coming in when you sit on the deck or are on the beach. Helen S has a drift fishing fleet. The crew does it all. They do the baiting etc.The crew does the work and the kids reap the satisfaction of the catch. 2705 n. Riverside drive which is at the inlet bridge. Maybe a 2 minute drive from the house. Make sure to go on a calm water day so the kids do not experience an unsettled stomach. Also located at the inlet bridge is a playground. Address: 2705 N Riverside Dr, Pompano Beach, FL.
Bahia Mar Marina in Ft Lauderdale: Cruising and parasailing opportunities. Bahia Mar marina in ft. Lauderdale offers numerous cruising packages. Walking the marina is an experience in that the yachts are breathtaking. Bahia Mar Address:801 Seabreeze Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
Owner's Recommendations: From the house, walk to the lighthouse. Feeding birds from the deck or on the beach. Their kid would throw bread in the air and they would catch bread in the air. Unbelievable photo opportunity. Literally 30 plus birds would be present within minutes.
Miami Beach: If they want to take a day trip they can drive to Miami south beach. Our kids were teenagers when we went. We ate at bubba gumps.
Special Occasions/Events: 4th of July: There is a huge
boat show on the ocean during the 4th of July. It is amazing. You
can sit on the house's deck and just take it all in. You can watch the pier fireworks as well. Breathtaking!
"Things we do while in town are:
1) Sugar Sands Park in Boca. It has a science/hands on museum and a
HUGE playground. Plus, other activities for children like a theater.
2) Museum of Discovery and Science. It has an Imax. It's several
stories and has lots to do.
3) Fishing - we have some of the best fishing in the area on our dock
because it's right where the inlet dumps into the intercoastal, so
it's flush with fish. You can go to Ace Tackle and
they have $14 rod and reels for children that are great. They can set
you up with Bait and tell you when to fish (get a tide table). Justin
there is very helpful and so are all the other guys. To get there,
head towards Ft. Lauderdale, Rgt on 14th st Causeway, Rgt on Federal
