High impact newcomers for 2014-15
But newcomers also include transfers -- and as we know, the transfer wire is at an all-time high these days. Guys like DeAndre Kane, Rodney Hood, Juwan Staten, Xavier Thames and Jordan Clarkson were all transfers.
Taking a look at both groups, here are our top 25 impact newcomers for the 2014-15 college hoops campaign, with six of our top 15 coming off the transfer wire. Note that these rankings are based not necessarily on talent alone, but also on the impact that the players will have
Building a Team USA of college stars
Just imagine if USA Basketball were to revert back to using amateurs for the Olympics and other international competitions. For those of us who've been around a little while, it doesn't seem so long ago that the original Dream Team debuted in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics after the relative disappointment of the 1988 team made up of college players. And while it doesn't appear to be a likelihood, despite the recent Paul George injury, it's a debate that hasn't completely gone away. My colleague Jay Bilas recently noted that we shouldn't go back to the old ways, in part because our college kids could no longer beat (or even compete with) many of the international teams. I tend to agree.
But what would Team USA look like under the old rules? I decided to come up with an American-born roster full of collegians, plus one high schooler.
Two players who would have made the team but don't hail from the United States are Oklahoma's underrated and versatile junior guard Buddy Hield (Bahamas) and Kentucky's talented freshman forward Karl Towns Jr., who is from the Dominican Republic.
Here's the team:

The deepest Kentucky team in years
Along the way, there were countless AAU contests in several locations, and there were drills and games involving some of the top college players in the country. A few days also were spent at the NBA Summer League and, on TV, seeing a glimpse of a new, loaded Kentucky Wildcats team playing down in the Bahamas.
Here are my 10 college basketball takeaways from the summer, starting with that scary Kentucky team.
1. I've watched a decent portion of Kentucky's games down in the Bahamas -- which were aired on ESPNU -- and this Wildcats team is the deepest I've seen in the past decade. It's not just ordinary depth, either -- it's quality, insane depth. Marcus Lee, who showed glimpses of what he could do in the NCAA tourney last year, may not find his way into the rotation. Derek Willis, who could start for at least 250 teams around the nation, is the seventh big man on the depth chart. Seventh! These guys are currently without two of their top frontline guys due to injury -- junior Willie Cauley-Stein and skilled freshman forward Trey Lyles -- and they still look deep and overwhelming.
I know the competition in two of the three games has been fairly lackluster, but the fact remains that this team doesn't lack for much (other than a true small forward) and the difference-maker with this group is diminutive freshman point guard Tyler Ulis. Andrew Harrison was erratic with his floor game and did not set up his teammates for easy baskets nearly as often as Ulis, who also will be a pest on the defensive end due to his speed, quickness and toughness.

Transfers should have to sit a year
There were plenty of winners and losers in the process, but no one has taken a harder hit than the NCAA.
Transferring has become an issue, yet it's hardly an epidemic. Non-student-athletes transfer at a significant rate as well, but we tend to overanalyze when it comes to college football and basketball.
Some feel as though student-athletes should be able to go wherever they want, whenever they want. Memphis coach Josh Pastner believes that the current system is not flawed and a player should be able to play immediately elsewhere, as long as the previous staff signs off on it. However, the majority of college coaches -- from Rick Pitino, Bill Self, Sean Miller and Chris Mack to many more -- believe that there should be no waivers and that everyone should have to sit regardless of the circumstance.
I'm in agreement.

Top NBA prospects in Class of 2015
NBA guys were also allowed to get a look at some of the top high school players at the LeBron James Skills Academy in Las Vegas early in the month.
We talked to some NBA guys in attendance, college coaches and also used what I saw throughout the month to come up with 12 players who have high NBA potential in the Class of 2015 (eligible for the 2016 NBA draft).
1. Ben Simmons, 6-8, 220, PF, Montverde Academy (Florida)
College: LSU Tigers
He's a long and skilled Australia native who has already committed to LSU, where his godfather, David, is an assistant coach. Simmons does everything well at this juncture -- except for make shots from beyond the arc. He's a terrific passer, scores from the mid-range extremely well and defends at a high level. His versatility draws comparisons to a young Lamar Odom.
2. Jaylen Brown, 6-7, 220, SF, Wheeler High (Florida)
College: Undecided
Brown is a well-built power wing who plays with a high motor and also possesses a versatile game. Brown's biggest strength right now is his ability to drive to the basket and finish around the rim, but his perimeter shot has improved significantly. He's considering UCLA, Kentucky, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ohio State, Florida and Texas.

Poll: Most coveted recruits in the country
During this time two summers ago, Jabari Parker was out due to a foot injury, and so Andrew Wiggins solidified his spot as the No. 1 player in the country. Last year, skilled big man Jahlil Okafor cemented his hold on the top spot.
This year, the top spot was wide open heading into July. But that has changed. We reached out to more than 40 high-major head coaches and assistants and asked them this question:
"Who would you want if you could have one recruit, regardless of class and age?"
These are their answers

Rule changes coaches want to see
It's all about rules. We love some and despise others.
In college basketball, there are plenty of rules that coaches would prefer to be changed. We spoke with some of the nation's best to get their thoughts. If they could change one rule, what would it be? There were a few answers and one clear winner, which I've saved for last.
Backcourt ruleA team must advance the ball to the frontcourt within 10 seconds of a player touching the ball in the backcourt. Many teams call a timeout, and the clock is then reset
Tad Boyle (Colorado Buffaloes): "Ten seconds in the backcourt with the ball should be continued after a timeout instead of being reset."
Frontcourt foulIf there is a foul, the shot clock is immediately reset to 35 seconds)
Bill Self (Kansas Jayhawks): "Foul in the frontcourt not reset to 35, only about to 20. I'd also like to see the block-charge made easier to call."
Kevin Stallings (Vanderbilt Commodores): "Intentional attempts at flopping should be assessed with an unsportsmanlike conduct technical foul. That includes the dribbler who throws his head and shoulders back to bait them for a call."
Tim Miles (Nebraska Cornhuskers): Flopping -- on both offense and defense."
Bruce Weber (Kansas State Wildcats): "Put the jump ball back in the game. Reward defense for effort to create jump ball situation. Also, the new foul rule allows the offensive player to put his head down, get out of control and run over defense and receive a foul call."
Tony Bennett (Virginia Cavaliers): "The flagrant foul of elbow above the shoulders."
Post playPerimeter play was altered last season, but some coaches want post play to be cleaned up
Scott Drew (Baylor Bears): "They adjusted how they called the perimeter last year. Now they need to address it in the post."
Freedom of movementSean Miller (Arizona Wildcats): "When an offensive player pivots and swings the ball high to create space from the defender, it should not be an offensive foul. He has to have the ability to create space for freedom of movement. The way the rule is now, even if there is no contact, they can call a flagrant 1. I also feel that going to a 30-second shot clock would help the quality of the play."
Advance the ball to half court in final two minutesThe ball is now taken out under the basket after a timeout. In the NBA, the ball is advanced to midcourt. ESPN colleague Seth Greenberg feels as though this would allow for more special situations, make time and score far more relevant and create for more exciting finishes.
Fred Hoiberg (Iowa State Cyclones): "Advance the ball after a timeout in the last two minutes."
Charge circleThe NCAA voted on a 3-foot wide charge circle in college basketball in 2011, but it's still closer to the basket than the NBA circle
John Groce (Illinois Fighting Illini): "I would probably say NBA charge circle instead of current college version. I played with it last year against Oregon, and I thought it promoted fewer collisions at the rim. I liked it farther out."
Charge callLast season, the NCAA amended its block/charge call to where a defensive player is not permitted to move into the path of an offensive player once he has begun his upward motion with the ball.
Mark Turgeon (Maryland Terrapins): "Take out the airborne player charge."
Make the lane widerThe college lane is just 12 feet wide, while the international and NBA games feature a lane that is 16 feet wide. This is one of the areas in which Greenberg agrees the game can be improved. "By widening the lane, it would open up the floor for more cutting and also help with spacing."
Archie Miller (Dayton Flyers): "I'd like to see the lane wider."
Mick Cronin (Cincinnati Bearcats): "Width of the lane. That will help clean up the game and open up the court. They have it in Europe and in the NBA. Why not us?"
Make the court widerThe court is 94 feet by 50 feet and hasn't changed.
Frank Martin (South Carolina Gamecocks): "The court needs to be wider and longer. Players are bigger, stronger and faster. Give everyone more space."
Six foulsCollege basketball's rule is that a player fouls out on his fifth foul
Thad Matta (Ohio State Buckeyes): "The one that comes to mind for me is going to six fouls."
No live timeouts for coachesCollege coaches are allowed to call a timeout while the action is ongoing.
Mike Brey (Notre Dame Fighting Irish): "Coaches should not be able to call a timeout during a live ball."
Shot clockMen's college basketball has used a 35-second shot clock since 1993, and there was a consensus among coaches that this needed to be altered. This was the No. 1 winner for most common answer.
Josh Pastner (Memphis Tigers): "Change the shot clock to 24 seconds."
Rick Pitino (Louisville Cardinals): "It's a tie for me. Change the shot clock to 30 seconds, and also, if there's a 4-second call in the backcourt, that's what you get to advance -- not 10 seconds."
Billy Donovan (Florida Gators): "I'd like to see a shorter shot clock or being able to move the ball across half court during the last two minutes."
Lon Kruger (Oklahoma Sooners): "Go to a 30-second shot clock."

Most prospect-loaded teams in CBB
John Calipari has assembled quite a roster with the return of Willie Cauley-Stein and the Harrison twins. In fact, there are nine potential first-rounders on the Wildcats, making UK the runaway leader for the program with the most NBA talent.
However, it's not quite as simple to figure out who ranks immediately behind Kentucky.

No winners with Mudiay's departure
Whatever the case, it's a huge blow to the Mustangs. And it may not do much for Mudiay's pro prospects, either. I've gotten mixed opinions from NBA evaluators on how much this impacts stock, but what you don't hear is that the move could actually improve Mudiay's standing. "This is only going to hurt the kid," said one NBA executive. "He'll struggle overseas like the other guys who have tried."
Perhaps more than that, not only does Mudiay miss out on greater exposure, he misses the opportunity to be coached by the great Larry Brown.
On the college hoops side, Mudiay was a likely one-and-done guy

Best point guards in college basketball
The position isn't what it used to be, with a new breed of scoring point guards emerging the past few years. However, there is still no shortage of quality depth at the position.
Here are a dozen of the top point guards in college hoops for 2014-15.
He was forced to play a significant amount of time off the ball last season due to the absence of P.J. Hairston, and he could be put in a similar situation this year with the addition of talented freshman point guard Joel Berry. Paige can play either backcourt spot, but he's more effective with the ball in his hands.
Larry Brown somehow beat Kentucky and Kansas for the strong, athletic and talented point guard, whose greatest asset is his ability to get into the paint and finish.

15 who made bad NBA draft decisions
Which guys made mistakes by declaring too early? Who either received poor advice or didn't listen to sound advice? And which players who were drafted should have waited another year?
Here are 15 players who made ill-advised decisions to leave school early for the 2014 NBA draft:
1. Jahii Carson, Arizona State Sun Devils
This one always baffled me because the athletic point guard made his intentions clear before the start of the season despite the fact that virtually no NBA evaluators had him anywhere near the first round.

Who takes over for Jim Boeheim?
Hopkins is 44 years old. He played for the Orange back when they were called the Orangemen. He has been on Boeheim's staff for nearly two decades. Hopkins is ready, itching to run his own program, but there's no reason to believe Boeheim is ready to hang it up anytime soon.
Hopkins could have had the Charlotte job a few years back. He was in the mix for USC a year ago, was intrigued by the Boston College opening this past April, and was also involved after Oregon State severed ties with Craig Robinson.
Hopkins has been deemed the "coach-in-waiting," but what if he doesn't wait? Then who becomes Boeheim's replacement?
Looking at the branches on the Boeheim coaching tree doesn't provide many answers. Former Iowa State head coach and ex-Boeheim assistant Wayne Morgan is out of college hoops, Tim Welsh works at ESPN, and Louis Orr was just fired at Bowling Green. Current Eastern Michigan coach Rob Murphy doesn't have a shot.
If Hopkins isn't The Guy at Syracuse, trying to figure out who would be in charge is almost like throwing darts.
But we're going to toss a few and do our best to handicap the field:
He's the "coach-in-waiting" and, even if he leaves to go elsewhere, it doesn't mean he can't return to Syracuse when Boeheim retires.

Biggest winners of CBB transfer season
Transfers have become the new avenue of recruiting, a manner to plug holes -- whether it be immediate via a fifth-year graduate student or with someone who is likely to receive a waiver by being near home.
Here are the programs that bolstered their rosters the most this offseason, followed by those that lost the most talent due to defections.
1. Virginia Tech Hokies
Addition: Seth Allen (Maryland)
New Hokies coach Buzz Williams picked up only one player, but it was a key one in Allen, who had a chance to be Maryland's top player this season. He's a combo guard who averaged 13.4 points and 3.0 assists per game despite missing the first dozen games of the season due to injury.

Best college coaches at NBA prep
Here are 12 coaches who NBA personnel feel are superior when it comes to preparing their players for the next level:
1) Billy Donovan, Florida Gators: Donovan has churned out plenty of pros lately, and many of them are excelling in the NBA (Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Chandler Parsons, Bradley Beal). There's a reason he's as highly sought after in NBA circles as any college coach in the country. "He runs a lot of pro stuff and integrates a lot of wrinkles," one NBA exec said. "He has an innovative playbook. … He just gets it."
2) Ben Howland, TBD: I know Howland isn't actively coaching in the college ranks, but NBA guys love his ability to prepare his players for their league. He helped develop Russell Westbrook and Darren Collison -- a pair of unknowns coming into college. He also coached Kevin Love, Jrue Holiday, Arron Afflalo, Luc Mbah a Moute, Jordan Farmar and Shabazz Muhammad.

Favorites to succeed Coach K at Duke
Even the obvious names -- those who have spent time under Coach K -- are far from locks to be considered candidates. In part because it's not exactly as if the Coach K coaching tree has torn it up over the years. Quin Snyder has revived his career as an NBA assistant after being forced to resign at Missouri for NCAA issues. David Henderson struggled in his head-coaching stint at Delaware. The same can be said for ex-Duke assistants Tim O'Toole (Fairfield) and Mike Dement (UNC Greensboro and SMU).
Johnny Dawkins finally got Stanford into the NCAA tourney this past season -- his sixth in Palo Alto -- but he entered 2013 with a lack of job security. Tommy Amaker struggled at Michigan but has become a hot commodity at Harvard, and guys such as Chris Collins and Steve Wojciechowski are early on in their head-coaching careers at Northwestern and Marquette, respectively. Where does that leave things?
Below, we handicap the current odds to be Coach K's successor once the 67-year-old does decide to call it quits.
He certainly has made up significant ground over the past few years while building a powerhouse at Harvard.

Joe Root maturity makes ideal Yorkshire captaincy material
3:35pm Tuesday 29th April 2014 in Sport
Ryan Sidebottom believes Yorkshire batsman Joe Root has all the qualities required to be a future captain.
Regular skipper Andrew Gale dropped himself for the ongoing match at Middlesex to make way for 23-year-old Root, who made amends for a first-innings duck by hitting 63 second time around.
Root is the youngest Tykes captain since 1882, when Lord Hawke was handed the job at 22, and Sidebottom says the right-hander has maturity beyond his years.
"Joe's got all the qualities to be captain, for sure," said the Yorkshire paceman.
"He's done very well. For such a young man he's very mature, very laid back and he's done brilliantly with quite a few of the senior guys here.
"Everyone has helped him along, so it's been great. He's very chilled out and he's done well.
"He's got a lot on his plate with England call-ups and trying to play regularly for England but I'm sure he's a captain in the making for the future."

I have had 4 different units, all blew out when boiling water on the back burner.
Sorry I bought this product. Do not recommend
By lbauman
from Kirkland, WA, United States
We have been using this for two weeks and had to buy all new cookware. First, one of the elements wouldn't stay on and when we had a technician come to fix it we discovered that each element requires a pan with a bottom surface the size of the element for it to work. A wok doesn't keep on the element as the bottom surface area is too small. Plus in the first week, while moving a pan off it's element, the surface scratched. That seems ridiculous since we are using approved cookware. You need to know what you are getting into.
Great new way of cooking.
By crosend
from Johns Island, SC, United States
We bought the induction cooktop for our new house. I liked the fact that it heats the pan and doesn't throw a lot of heat into the room. It can boil water in about a minute. You have to pay attention to it at first because it heats up so fast. We love it.

This cooktop is completely unreliable
By DeeZapointed
from Niskayuna
This cooktop is great... WHEN IT WORKS! Unfortunately, it already broke down on me two times in 8 months. Each time, I was left without a cooktop for weeks. Now I am stuck with this thing in which I have zero confidence, and just wait for it to break down a third time. Do yourself a favor: don't buy this unit. Don't get me wrong: I love it when it works. It does everything an induction cooktop is supposed to do, and very well. Let me add that all my appliances are Kitchenaid, so I have nothing against this brand. But this particular unit was clearly not ready for primetime. Maybe in a few years, after the engineers have come up with a new version of the same unit, it will be ready. But right now, it is unreliable.
I love cooking on this cooktop.
By BikerK
from South Carolina
I love this cooktop. The heat on each burner is even and accurate. It heats up much faster than a conventional electric cooktop. When finished cooking the surface indicator displays the cooking surface is hot, but it will not burn if touched. A few things I do not like: if you place any item that has some weight on the cooktop, a sensor starts beeping until it is removed and no cover for the cooktop. Also, the timer cannot be used independently unless a burner is on.
Fantastic Product
By Chuck43
from Georgia, USA
Although I was initially doubtful of induction technology, I must now admit this is a fantastic product. The ability to boil water almost instantly makes cooking many items much more desirable. I'm just very glad my wife really pushed to install this cooktop in our new kitchen. Buy one if you can.....

KitchenAid® 30-Inch 4-Element Induction Cooktop, Architect® Series II
By jen450
from Canada
I would NOT recommend buying this stove at all. We had this stove delivered and installed by Jenaire. At first we thought what a great stove. However the stove broke down within a week to month of use and was replaced not one, not two but four times. After the 4th time that the unit was replaced we gave up and decided to buy a completely different brand. We went with a Bosch. To this day we love the Bosch and have had no difficulties with it.

iPhone users complain of 'searching for service' bug
A number of iPhone users are voicing their displeasure over a bug in iPhone software 3.1.2 that sees the phone randomly start searching for service. According to a thread on the Apple Support Discussions site, the problem appears to be software related, as users on AT&T, Rogers Wireless, and Telus have been affected; the only current fix once the phone begins searching is to reboot the device. It is unclear as to whether the problem is limited to iPhone 3G units, but no verified users of other models have complained on the thread thus far, suggesting that the bug may be specific to that iPhone model.
Update: A number of users, including one iLounge editor, have confirmed in the comments that the bug is indeed affecting all models of iPhone.

Posted by mr_infamy on November 25, 2009 at 11:26 PM (CST)
Uh, I think I must correct my previous posting.
In the apple userforum I found a solution to this problem - in "Settings/Carrier" I had set "Carrier" to my Carrier. So, every time the connection got lost (even for a second or so) I got this popup-message.
So I changed the setting to "automatic" and now everything is great. My friend had set this to automatic anyway, so he never had this problem.
I don't care so much about having always a connection to my carrier ( I don't use it for calls very much), but I really hated the message I got every time.

I have the same issue. Phone starts searching and then says no service…even if I'm in a 5 bar area! Then goes to full signal. Whole process takes about 5 minutes. Sometimes happens when I'm on the phone and what I then observe is a slow degradation of signal and people saying they can't here me until the phone just goes into no-service. Very discouraging. Seems to happen a few times per hour. Phone signal constantly going up and down.

Thai police probe toxic waste motive in headman's murder
Prajob Nao-opas was gunned down by unknown assailants in broad daylight on Monday in Chachoengsao province, east of Bangkok, as he waited for his pickup truck to be repaired at a garage.
The village headman had led a year-long campaign to expose illegal waste dumping in two districts after ponds in the area were contaminated with toxic chemicals from nearby industrial estates.
"I will give weight to the motive being his role as the leader of villagers in opposing waste dumping," said Police Major General Niwat Rattanathamwat who is leading the investigation.
The victim had exposed 10 allegations of waste dumping some of which are already under investigation, he said, adding police will look "case by case" for a possible link to his murder.
Human Rights Watch called for a full, transparent probe into the killing, which came despite police being aware of "explicit threats" to his life.
"The cold-blooded killing of Prajob marks yet another example of the fundamental failure of Thai authorities to protect activists who risk their lives while defending their communities," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch.
"The government must undertake a serious investigation to bring those responsible for his death to justice, regardless of the status or political affiliation of the killers."
The group says more than 30 human rights defenders and environmentalists have been murdered in Thailand since 2001, with the few people charged having the least culpability, such as getaway car drivers.

"More more more!"
Love Rickman, this series is terrific, complex and compelling, and Emma Powell's reading pulls you in fast and keeps you listening. Wish they would get the whole series!!!
"Liked this pretty much, but cranky at Audible"
Book pretty good though sometimes very slow. However, not happy with Audible for offering this as "first in a series" but not offering any of the other books in the series!
"A bit 2-dimensional but enjoyable"
Love the idea behind the book (a psychic working to solve a crime.) Could have been dark or funny, and this was on the cute side. No going into the angst of what it would be like knowing when people lie to you, etc. but a nice, light read. Will see if writer developers more depth in later books. Reader occasionally was a bit too "smiley" when reading, but otherwise fit the writing well.
"Just didn't work for me"
Lots of blood but not three-dimensional. Gave it two hours but then gave up
I would never presume that any author should change their writing because of my taste.
Hate this part. Just never got pull in, couldn't distinguish many of the characters, but not sure how much was the material.
Sorry - just fell flat for me.
"Off on tangents...."
Book just meanders all over the place a bit too much for my taste. Think it's the author's style - remember feeling when reading the Ladies Detective Agency that the pace was very very slooooow
Would never ask an author to change their style!
Love Davina Porter always. She's a pro.
believable characters
"Dull reading."
Christie can be simplistic, but the reading on this made it soporific. Much preferred Nadia May's reading of The Secret Adversary.

"Must read First"
I was able to get the backstory. Now I can start the series again with more knowlege of the main characters.
I had tears at the life changes the characters had to go through, and smiles at the pink glitter.
I would really suggest that this book be read first. It is the prequel for the rest of the series.
"Required reading for men"
Hot, hot and hot
The characters interaction.
Absolutly, lost sleep at night, considered not going to work until book was finished
My boyfriend suggested this was a woman's book. How wrong he is. I am buying him a copy. I informed him this should be required reading for all men.
"The book I've been looking for"
Yes,yes, and yes. I have known this secret, but recently lost my way. I have friends in the same situation.
Inspiration. Believable
The stories of theories that worked in real life.
Get back to a positive attitude.
"Loved the book, Not so happy with the narration,"
I agree with the listeners that stated "it took me a while to get into the book again because of the narrator change". Book was great as are all the others but I cringed when the names were not pronounced like I had been used to (and noticed myself scolding the narrator for the mistake). If this is the only book you listened to it was fine but the series listeners should probably buy this book and read it.

Perform immediate malware triage with Cerberus, and gain actionable intelligence prior to engaging a malware team.
Cerberus is the malware analysis component of AccessData's integrated incident response platform, CIRT (Cyber Intelligence & Response Technology). This module is also available as an add-on to FTK 4. The first step towards automated reverse engineering, Cerberus allows you to determine the behavior and intent of suspect binaries, giving you actionable intelligence without having to wait for a malware team to perform deeper, more time consuming analysis.
Cerberus Triage vs. Traditional Malware Analysis
Cerberus is able to disassemble and simulate the functionality of a suspect binary, without actually running the code. This first-pass analysis is of great value in that it not only enables incident responders to take decisive action more quickly, but it reveals behavior and intent without running the risk of triggering defense mechanisms commonly found in malware.
Traditional methods each have its own shortcomings, which Cerberus methodologies avoid…
- Dynamic Analysis is often not reliable, because the binary could recognize that it is being analyzed and perform a different action in order to intentionally fool the analyst.
- Traditional Heuristics are not based on the fundamental characteristics of malware and have high false positive / false negative rates.
- Signature-based / Byte String Analysis cannot detect new malware or new variants and requires prior knowledge in the form of an action or byte string.
Stage One Analysis
The following first-level analysis is conducted to quickly tally threat scores.
- Product Name
- Product Version
- Company Name, etc.
- Functions included in the Import Table
- Network
- Process
- Security
- Registry
- Dynamic Loading, etc.
- Does the binary have high entropy (obfuscated)?
- Does the binary have signatures of:
- Internet Relay Chat ("IRC")
- Shellcode
- Cryptography ("Crypto")
- Does the binary contain strings associated with autoruns?
- Digital Signature Verification
Stage Two Analysis
Stage two involves more complex disassembly analysis to give you more detailed behavioral information. This simulation and data flow analysis is possible without running binaries in a sandbox, and there is no reliance on white lists or signatures.
Basic Disassembly Analysis:
- Integrated disassembly engine
- If using network functionality, potentially what host it is communicating with and over what protocol(s)
- If using network functionality, can it bypass proxy servers?
- For functions that require usernames and/or passwords, does the executable contain a static string, indicating insider or advanced knowledge?

Michelle Obama was absolutely glowing on Tuesday night when she strode out onto the "Tonight Show" stage.
She was making her first late-night TV appearance since becoming the first lady, but she looked calm and confident while chatting up host Jay Leno.
First lady Obama cajoled Jay Leno into nibbling on apples, sweet potato fries and a pizza made with eggplant, green peppers and zucchini on the "Tonight Show," in defiance of his long-held aversion for all-things-healthy in his diet.
Leno once told a magazine he had not eaten a vegetable since 1969, and he insisted he tasted his last apple in 1984. That didn't dissuade the first lady, who was promoting her "Let's Move!" campaign to get kids excited about fitness and healthy eating habits. Unlike many celebrity guests, she did not go with a low-cut cocktail dress or anything dramatic — just her mint green J. Crew skirt (the one she wore to 10 Downing Street in 2009 with the rhinestone-covered cardigan), a thin, gold-flecked sweater by Michael Kors and a pair of low, pointed-toe heels. She made the skirt new with a bejeweled gold belt.
Michelle Obama Convinces Leno to Eat Veggies

You have saved up some money after working hard for many years, and now you have decided to put it to work. You see hundreds of articles on investing online, and hundreds of strategies that promise you everything. You are getting information overload. How should you select your strategy?
The first goal when selecting your strategy is to determine what your desired end result should be. For most investors who want a strategy that would help them in accumulating a certain level of target monthly income, dividend investing might be the best solution. The goal should be very specific, and should incorporate as much information as possible to fit the objectives of the investor.
As a result, the goal of earning $1000/month in dividend income is more specific as accumulating a nest egg of $300,000. This is because accumulating a nest egg of $300,000 does not automatically translate into the desired target monthly income to meet expenses, and does not discuss how to pensionize this asset.
For example, my goal is to generate a sustainable level of dividend income, which maintains its purchasing power over time, at the minimum. This would be achieved by creating a diversified dividend portfolio, consisting of quality dividend growth stocks that I try to acquire at attractive valuations over time.
Your dividend investing goals should take into account things like amount you can put to work every month, the time until you retire, as well as make reasonable assumptions about investment returns (initial yield, earnings and dividend growth).
For example, if you put $1000/month in a portfolio of dividend paying stocks that yield 4% and grow distributions at 6% per year, you can expect to earn $1000 in monthly dividends in 12.5 years. If you increase your contributions to $2000/month, you will be able to generate $1000 in monthly dividend income in only eight years.
The types of dividend paying stocks, which could be part of such a portfolio could include:
Philip Morris International Inc. (PM), through its subsidiaries, manufactures and sells cigarettes and other tobacco products.The company has managed to boost distributions from 46 cents/share in 2008 to 94 cents/share presently. Currently, the stock yields a very reasonable 4.60%. Check my analysis of Philip Morris International.
Unilever PLC (UL) operates as a fast-moving consumer goods company in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Europe, and the Americas. The company has increased dividends for at least 15 years in a row. The stock yields 3.65%. Check my analysis of Unilever.
Kinder Morgan, Inc. (KMI) operates as a midstream and energy company in North America. The company has managed to boost distributions from 30 cents/share in 2011 to 41 cents/share presently. Currently, the stock yields 5.30%.
In addition, that investment plan should discuss more issues, such as where to start your search for investment opportunities, how to analyze them, when to buy, how to manage your portfolio and when to sell. Over the next few weeks, I would discuss each one of these bullet points, and walk you through the complete dividend plan, from beginning to end.

Engoulevent Review
This small B&B in a suburban house (about 10 minutes from Fort-de-France) has deluxe suites with contemporary decor, as well as Wi-Fi and other attractive amenities and high-end touches. The Continental breakfast service is lovely, with jams made from the tropical fruit that ripens on trees outside. The pool is a pleasure; there are a couple of fitness machines nearby. Guests are given clickers for the mechanized security gate. This upscale neighborhood is very close to the center of Fort-de-France, but when you're lying in your terrace hammock, you hear nothing but the songbirds. You might even see an engoulevent (hummingbird) whirring over a flower.

The persistence of urban poverty in Ethiopia: a tale of two measurements
AbstractThis article investigates dynamics of poverty in urban Ethiopia using both subjective and objective definitions of poverty. The two sets of estimates of persistence and recurrence of poverty are similar, suggesting that consumption-based mobility or poverty persistence estimates are not seriously distorted by measurement error.

I agree. Jim is doing nothing wrong. With all the improperly posted items, we should be glad that someone is trying steer them in the right direction. In my opinion it was an attack for the sake of attacking someone and not with the intent of accomplish anything.

Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay Review
What this big concrete structure lacks in intimacy, it makes up for with its beautifully manicured grounds, historic sense of place, renovated interiors, and stunning location on Keauhou Bay. Longtime Big Island visitors might remember the hotel as the old Kona Surf. Today it has a beautiful lobby lounge where wine tastings are held each evening. Many rooms have great views of the bay and feel like they're right on the water. Each is decorated in a modern Polynesian style inspired by renowned Hawaii designer Sig Zane. Those traveling with kids appreciate the pool, one of the coolest on the island, with a slide, waterfalls, and an ocean view. Culture vultures like the historic walking tour with the resort's cultural liaison. A luau, on a grassy lawn with a backdrop of coconut trees, features a live Polynesian show. But perhaps the best part is Rays on the Bay restaurant, which has outstanding food and mantas that glide below the lanai in the glow of a spotlight.
