Yesterday the Oakland Raiders were a mess in every department of the game in a blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at the Coliseum, a final meeting in 2013 between the AFC West rivals that ended in a 56-31 loss.
As expected, the Black Hole let the Raiders know that they felt some of the most passionate fans in the NFL deserved better. Letting the boos fly onto the field and chanting for Terrelle Pryor at points of the second as Matt McGloin was struggling.
The Pryor chants eventually subsided after McGloin brought the Raiders to back within four points on a touchdown strike to Mychal Rivera. But the fans continued their outrage after Jamaal Charles busted out for one of his four receiving touchdowns on a 71 yard screen pass touchdown to push the score back to 42-31.
Taiwan Jones fumbled the ensuing kick return, ending the Raiders chances in the game and starting what was the finishing of a rout by the Chiefs where every single member of the Raiders roster and coaching staff should take blame.
If the Raiders didn't self implode after fighting hard on offense and getting early second half stops to bring the score within four points you might have been sitting here reading another story, but that feel good comeback was quickly replaced by further ineptitude that over the course of four quarters would have lost Oakland the game regardless of how much talent they had on the field.
From both quarterbacks throwing interceptions to horrendous tackling in the flat allowing Jamaal Charles to look like he was playing in Beginner mode on Madden the Raiders looked like the team that pundits thought had a chance of going 0-16 this year. After a beginning to the year that showed promise, it is not evidently clear that the Raiders fans have lost faith in the rebuild that the organization planned for this season after years of trying to avoid it.
Banged up with a roster that was already eating near $70 million in dead cap space money the Raiders expectedly looked outclassed by the Chiefs, but the manner in which it happened will be putting people on the hot seat and will have people pointing fingers. From seven turnovers to the aforementioned lack of defensive effort in tackling Jamaal Charles, Oakland pissed away a game that they fought to come back into and were as a result blown out in both halves at the end of the day. If there is one thing that will get the calls for dismissal going in Oakland, a blowout loss to the Chiefs would be it.
With two weeks left there are questions left and right that will need to be answered. Namely if Dennis Allen will be returning next season to coach after his hot seat got even hotter after the Week 14 debacle in New York. Looking at facing an identical 4-12 record from his first season as Raiders head coach and with things falling apart to close the season, a once unthinkable proposition at the start of November is now possible.
The Raiders have two games left against the still playoff hopeful San Diego Chargers and a Denver Broncos team looking to clinch the AFC West title to turn the narrative of their season around. With such a difficult end to the season, the current plans of the Raiders rebuild may change drastically if the performance on the field does not elevate before 2013 comes to a close. After Sunday, fans, and potentially owner Mark Davis can't be blamed for being impatient.

I get hit up for money for "something to eat" every day on the way to work and every day at lunchtime. Direct the beggar to the free soup kitchen two blocks away, and all you get is nastiness. They know where the free room and food is. They just want the money.
It's both difficult and easy to be a libertarian.
It's difficult because the corrupt Washington establishment of politicians, lobbyists, bureaucrats, and interest groups almost always is allied against us.
But it's easy since you have strong moral principles that put liberty over statism, so at least you don't need a lot of time to figure out whether class-warfare tax policy is desirable, whether the federal government is too big, or whether government should be throwing people in jail for...

Dalai Lama hopes China will solve Tibet issue
The Dalai Lama Wednesday hoped the Chinese regime would find a genuine solution to the Tibet issue. However, he was unsure of returning to his homeland which he left for exile in 1959.
The Tibetan spiritual leader's optimism rose from the fact that the new Chinese president Xi Jinping is going all out against corrupt practices and is sensitive towards the rights of the people in China's countryside.
The Dalai Lama said today's Chinese intelligentsia in mainland China is more receptive to the Tibetan cause.
"I think the present (Chinese) president Xi Jinping is quite active because he is cleaning up corruption quite courageously. He spoke about the rights of the countryside people, about proper rule of law and he used words 'seeking truth from fact'. With that slogan, he actually opened the Chinese economy," the Nobel laureate told journalists here.
The Dalai Lama, on the last leg of his three-day visit to Meghalaya, also recalled his meetings with chairman Mao Zedong in the late 1950s, in what was then Peking, on the Tibet issue.
"I met chairman Mao in 1954-55 in Peking. He was like my father. I was there for five months and met several times and we developed a father-son relationship. Chairman Mao said on many occasions that Tibet cannot be treated as an ordinary Chinese province," he said.
On his possible return to his homeland, the Dalai Lama who escaped to India in 1959, said: "Nobody knows (on my return to Tibet). But I think 99 percent of Tibetans are waiting for me to return to Tibet. They always ask me to return. I told them I am ready to go to Tibet, it's my home, but the Chinese government won't allow it."
The 78-year-old Tibetan, who has considered India his second home, also disclosed that sometimes Chinese officials also urge him to return to Tibet. "At this moment if I return, it will be useful. Perhaps I may be more relaxed in prison, but with no work. I will not only lose my freedom but it will be just a waste of time. Here (in India), I am busy."
Tibetan prime minister-in-exile Lobsang Sangay Tuesday was hopeful about the Dalai Lama's return to Tibet via Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, the route which he had used to come to India following his escape 55 years ago.
Commenting on India's democracy, the Tibetan spiritual head said the Indian people take freedom without discipline, even as he emphasised on the development of rural areas across India.
"Some drawbacks are there and sometimes in a democracy, people take freedom without discipline. Freedom must combine with a sense of responsibility. Otherwise, India is a very nice country," he said.
"Development should take place in rural areas also, and not only in towns and cities. All villages should have schools and hospitals. Population must also reduce in big cities. Millionaires should not only happen in big cities but also in rural areas," he said.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

By Barbara Marini, FASID, IDEC
Leadership is such an important topic today that it is nearly impossible to peruse a journal, newspaper or blog that doesn't speak to some aspect of
leadership. Colleges and universities
are spending considerable resources
developing leadership programs
in order to prepare graduates for the challenging world that awaits.
Establishing and leading teams that have a propensity for creative thinking; applying high-level problem solving skills; and maintaining a focused, strategic and visionary approach to resolving complex issues is more important than ever.
It takes a particular mindset to lead purposefully in unpredictable times, and these challenges exist within all industries and organizations as a result of the shifting dynamics of a global economy. Whether one manages a small firm, a large business or a conglomerate, strong leadership is needed to guide decisions and set the future direction.
Companies and organizations that are positioned to succeed in the current economy and prepared for the future are that way because of leadership. Leaders who are visionary, who have high levels of integrity and who are open to new ideas are in high demand! These leaders understand collaboration and make conscientious decisions for the good of stakeholders—and with a view of the future.
Leadership is defined and measured through a variety of instruments such as the Basadur Creative Problem Solving Profile (CPSP), the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory (KAI) and the Five Factor Model (the Big Five). While each of these models evaluate and define leadership ability in different ways, the common thread among them is creativity. This unique trait has become a new focus of many leadership programs since it tends to be the "missing link" among leaders and a variable that is difficult to define.
Creative leadership is needed in the world today. The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is well-positioned to contribute on a global scale to discussions regarding the built environment. As most designers will tell you, creativity is part of our DNA!
I recognize the significance of this topic and have embarked upon a personal journey to research leadership through doctoral studies; I am also personally committed to developing professional leadership in ASID. Simply put, professional and creative leadership is critical to our future as a discipline and as an organization. We must provide the necessary tools and training for our leaders to be successful.
Designers have an intrinsic propensity for advancing in the area of leadership. We analyze and synthesize solutions to complex problems, and are able to create amazing experiences for clients and users. That being said, creativity alone is not enough to drive or address our evolving world; it must be coupled with the ability to lead effectively, and result in outcomes that drive innovation and change in a dynamic environment.
Leadership in the context of interior design requires all of us to step up and assume the roles needed to communicate the value and impact of design on the human experience at local, regional, national and global levels. Developing our leadership at multiple levels is a commitment that ASID has made to advance the profession. Demonstrating this leadership and delivering a message to the public about the role of interior designers in today's market are imperatives that drive the ASID leadership development initiative.
We have an opportunity to harness the creativity
of our members for a new model of leadership that will guide innovation for the profession, now and into the future. We are engaged in an active process of cultivating the next generation of leaders who will propel the profession forward. ASID knows that the influence of leadership from an organizational perspective is based on consistent messaging, well-trained and confident spokespeople, and the ability to move groups forward strategically. We are focused on an open-minded and conscientious leadership model that is results-oriented, collaborative, communicative and confident about the profession and opportunities ahead.
As we move forward, you will see a range of ASID programs that focus specifically on leadership development and training. This is part of the commitment we have made to our members, industry partners and other stakeholders: to provide the training needed to advance the profession and communicate the impact of interior design. Leadership training will provide opportunities to develop personal, business and collaborative skills that are transferrable and beneficial to professionals at multiple levels.
In order to communicate the value of interior design, it is critical that we frame our conversations around leadership of the profession, identify targeted areas for development and provide consistent messaging as the core of the design network. We cannot assume that leadership "just happens." It is imperative that interior designers develop a mindset that is actively engaged in social and professional leadership to elevate our industry.
Barbara Marini, FASID, IDEC is the chair of the interior design program at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Detroit, Mich. ASID can be reached
at (202) 546-3480 or email@example.com, and on the web at www.asid.org.

All you need to know for Sunday's game (according to our stylists):
She picks out your clothes.
She sends you flirty emails.
She knows your body better than you do.
But what do you know about her — your sexy, sassy Bombfell stylist?
Meet the latest addition to our styling team, Hayley J., a Korean native with a serious sweet tooth and a weakness for buttondown shirts.
1. Hi Hayley, where are you from? Born and raised in South Korea but spent exactly half of my life in Singapore!
2. Tell us something few people know about you. Sometimes I eat a pint or two of ice cream for dinner, in a single sitting. And I'm happy for the rest of the night!
3. Who is your style muse and why? [German model] Johannes Huebl. He knows how to work a basic buttondown shirt — he dresses it up or down with blazers and knits really well!
4. If I had to send the same item to every Bombfella, it would be… A really well-fitted buttondown shirt! It's a staple that you can't go wrong with!
5. Best style advice you've ever got: Get clothes with the right fit. No matter how amazing it is, if it doesn't fit, it's not amazing anymore!
6. Style advice you want to give your Bombfellas: Find ways to show your personality through your outfit — it can be as simple as wearing a pair of bright, wacky patterned socks!
7. What would you be if you weren't a stylist? I'm a huge foodie, so I'd probably be a food blogger/photographer — traveling everywhere and documenting glorious food around the world!
She picks out your clothes.
She sends you flirty emails.
She knows your body better than you do.
But what do you know about her — your sexy, sassy Bombfell stylist?
Meet the latest addition to our styling team, Kathleen C., a tomboy at heart who can talk football & beer one minute and hemlines & tailored blazers the next.
1. Hi Kathleen, where are you from? New Jersey
2. Tell us something few people know about you. My idea of a perfect day includes a cold beer, some spicy wings, and football. Shhhh, don't tell the girls!
3. If I had to send the same item to every Bombfella, it would be…A blazer that fits just right. A nice blazer can pull together any outfit and it is a perfect staple piece in any guy's wardrobe.
4. Best style advice you've ever got: Clothes don't un-shrink. No matter how much you love a piece of clothing, if it has lost it's shape or has been shrunk in the dryer, it isn't coming back. That is why I always read the Care Label when I buy a new piece of clothing.
5. Style advice you want to give your Bombfellas: Make sure to check the details! Is your shirt tucked in properly? Are your pants the right fit for you? Sometimes fixing the small stuff can make all the difference in the impression you make on others.
6. What would you do if you weren't a stylist? I would definitely go to Culinary School. I love to cook and bake, so I would have a blast with a career as a Chef or Pastry Chef!

The weather outside is frightful, while indoors, it's always hot in herrre. So you solve this ages-old sartorial dilemma this season by dressing in layers. But now comes the hard part: how do you wear layers without looking like a total hobo?
Our Bombfell stylists are here to help with some general rules of gettin' layered:
1. Start with your thinnest layer and work your way up. This helps you avoid bulkiness, and also allows you to take off the thicker layers when you're indoors. (Below, we layered a light hoodie under a thicker sweatshirt then topped it off with an awesome vegan leather jacket.)
2. Each layer should be something you could wear on its own. Of course, this only applies to visible layers. Do what you want with your undergarments!
3. Accessorize! Scarves and ties are an easy way to create a layered look. Pair a tie with a cardigan or V-Neck sweater or top it off with a cozy patterned scarf.
4. Don't be afraid of color! A nice pop of color against dark/neutral outerwear can brighten up any winter look. Experiment with adding a layer in a bold shade, like the Ben Sherman crewneck sweater below.
5. For a more distinguished layered look, try adding a tailored vest, like below. An edgy accessory like this vegan leather tie by Dibi gives the outfit a more modern twist.
Ready to get layered? Email your stylist at firstname.lastname@example.com for more tips and questions about the looks featured above. Or visit our pop-up shop for other winter layering pieces!

This is my morning congee.
As I mentioned previously, I'm starting to feel a cold come on. This and the fact that I had leftover brown rice and a sweet potato in the fridge, brought me to the conclusion to have some congee this morning.
Congee is a tradition east asian soup or porridge often had in times of struggle. It's very simple - use cooked leftover rice and a sweet potato, cook them together until the rice starts breaking down. Some people like to add other things as well, either on the savory or sweet side, but I like to keep mine simple.
The health aspect in congee comes from it's simplicity. When I first heard about I found lots of people posting about how it comforted them when they were sick and reminded them of home. As you can imagine, potato, rice and water is very easy to digest (usually this came be had if you're feeling a little sick to your stomach), not to mention sweet potatoes are amazing nutritionally. This is a great detox meal.
The last time I had this and I was feeling a little sick, I remember feeling a little better afterwards. That and I just like it, its good for mornings where I just want something warm, simple and comforting. It's kind of a substitute of chicken noodle soup for me as I won't be partaking in the chicken.
The picture with it is actually /my/ congee this morning, isn't it pretty? Anyway, this is a recipe I personally recommend.

Windsurfing News
- 20 August 2008 | Windsurfing
Tom ASHLEY, also the reigning World Champion, sailed a near flawless Medal Race, finishing third to win a tight three-way contest for gold. It is the first Olympic gold medal in sailing won by New Zealand since Barbara KENDALL's victory in the Women's Windsurfer event at Barcelona 1992. Frenchman Julien BONTEMPS finished one place behind ASHLEY in today's Medal Race to take silver, whilst Israel's Shahar ZUBARI edged out Nick DEMPSEY (GBR) to win bronze, winning the first medal for Israel at this Olympic Games.
Since finishing 10th in Athens as a 20 year old, ASHLEY has matured into a world beater on the windsurfing scene, a status he confirmed earlier this year with World Championship success on his home waters in New Zealand. In a fleet in which many competitors have a big performance differential in different wind conditions, his all-round ability has proved crucial this week and brought him the Olympic gold medal.
"I've done it! It's the most incredible feeling and I can't begin to tell you how I feel right now," ASHLEY commented on returning to the boat park. ASHLEY, who is coached by Grant BECK (NZL), an instrumental figure the three previous medal wins of KENDALL, added that his Olympic success is the end of a long road, "I've been working toward this for so many years. It was an insanely tough Medal Race," he said. "The weather had a little bit of everything. I tried to sail as consistently as I could."
Yesterday ASHLEY had had his worst race of the regatta after getting caught on the wrong side of a big wind shift and finishing down in the 32nd place. That had dropped him from first to third overall, although he was still just one point off the lead and knew that if he could finish ahead of BONTEMPS and DEMPSEY today and not let ZUBARI get too far ahead, the gold medal would be his.

The Terminator returns on judgment day: Bjorn Dunkerbeck sails to victory in race eleven, crowning him the event winner on the final day of competition in Alaçati. In the women's fleet, Valerie Ghibaudo wrapped up the event with a second in race eleven, having already done enough to take the event title.
With tensions mounting on the final day of competition, the ensuing last race of the event would prove to be make or break for Bjorn Dunkerbeck (T1, North) and Antoine Albeau (Starboard, NeilPryde), who sat just 0.4 of a point apart at the top of the score sheet. For Albeau to rob Dunkerbeck of the event lead, he'd have to place in the top six, and beat Dunkerbeck in the final race. Likewise, for Dunkerbeck to take the event title, he'd have to place higher than Albeau.
In a warm up for the race final, Albeau and Dunkerbeck were pitched against each other in the semi finals. The resulting brawl saw Albeau gain a psychological boost when he crossed the line in second, two places above Dunkerbeck, however it was Finian Maynard (RRD, NeilPryde) that commanded the heat.
Coming down to the wire, the event title now hinged on the critical race final, with the winner quite literally taking all. As the green flag went up, Dunkerbeck seized the early advantage with a perfectly timed start. Off the pace, Albeau ran into problems when he caught a bag around his fin. The resulting drag left him towards the back of the pack, and stuck in dirty wind.
In contrast, Dunkerbeck, who seemed to be thriving under the pressure, screamed ahead of his nearest rival, Peter Volwater (F2, North) in second. By the fourth mark, Dunkerbeck was half a reach ahead, meaning the final straight was a mere formality en route to claiming the event title.
Crossing the finish line, the multiple world champion was greeted with wave upon wave of cheers and applause, as ecstatic fans congratulated the newly crowned event winner.

The third day of competition started out with the completion of race four, which had been whittled down to the finals on the previous day. First to hit the race course was the men's losers final, which got off to a nervous start after Jimmy Diaz (Starboard, North), local Bora Kozanoglu (Starboard) and Patrick Diethelm (F2, North) all false started.
Taking the reins of the under strength heat, Gabriel Browne (Mistral, MauiSails) led from the start to take a decisive victory ahead of Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (Exocet, NeilPryde) in second.
Moving onto to the final, and disaster struck for Antoine Albeau (Starboard, NeilPryde) on the first reach "I went too downwind towards Finian at the gybe, and my clew hit his mast causing me to fall in". The mistake left Albeau languishing at the back of the pack, and despite an effort to climb back up the ranks; he crossed the finish line in tenth position.
At the front of the pack, Bjorn Dunkerbeck (T1, North) dialed into the conditions, opening up a massive lead before finishing the race a solid half reach ahead of his nearest rival, Ross Williams (Tabou, Gaastra) in second. Filling out the remaining podium position was Kevin Pritchard (Starboard, Gaastra, Dakine, MFC), who managed to hold off a sustained attack from Finian Maynard (RRD, NeilPryde), who had to settle for fourth.
In the women's losers final of race four, Lee Korzitz (Tabou, Gaastra) struggled to match her form from previous events, despite finding herself at the front of the fleet. She stood her ground to take the win, and eleventh overall for the race, with Australian Annika Gillgren (Severne) crossing the finish line behind her in second, and twelfth for the race.
In the winners final, Valerie Ghibaudo (Tabou, The Loft) had her foot firmly on the throttle as she negotiated the four buoy downwind course. On the finish line she was rewarded with the victory almost an entire reach ahead of the chasing pack. Padding out the all-French podium was Alice Arutkin (Starboard, North) in second, and fifteen year old Morane Demont (Starboard, Severne) in third.

Snob Of The Week: Check mate for Atte Rytkönen blogger for Dress Like A! An elegant combination of lilac and brown checks up the game for late summer sartorialism. Paired with a pale blue micro check shirt the subtle play of pattern on pattern is masterfully grounded by rich shades of chocolate brown in the braces, jacquard square and silk knit tie. Khaki trousers keep the whole ensemble strategically balanced, and the perfect chocolate double monks keep it grounded.
Snob Of The Week: Sir Max from Off The Rack Tumblr is proof that snob perfection can be found in the most elegant understated details. The slim cut double breasted linen suit is tailored sublimely, the nipped waist and just the right amount of cuff showing. It is offset by a periwinkle spread collar shirt and pocket square that picks up just a hint of the same color, finished with a natty puppytooth necktie constructed with a deep dimple. The caramel colored bag and double monk shoes add warmth to the cool tobacco linen of the suit. well done sir, well done.
Snob Of The Week: Mr Virgile Mercier blogger For The Discerning Few wears the perfect look for a languid summer afternoon.

Snob Of The Week: Mr. Hughes is the epitome of the Snob of the Week channelling old Hollywood glamour and understated elegance in this portrait.

Snob of the Week: Mr. Ramdhani gearing up for spring and looking swell in his khaki suit by Oger. Nude colours work wonders when pairing with light blue or chambray hues as shown here for the shirt and pocket square. His knit tie picks up the suit colour as does the suede Santoni tassel loafers. As always with impeccable style, the details make the difference, look at the perfect trouser length with big cuffs & the jacket's patch pockets. For the extra doses of sprezz look at the nonchalance of the tie and the sockless shoes. Spring has indeed finally arrived!
The Snob Of The Week: Mr Häberle striking a pose in an exquisite blue double breasted suit by Suitsupply. Blues and browns work so well together, that when pairing the suit with a crisp white shirt and hints of brown for tie and shoes, it simply doesn't get any better.

Rakish details complete the look.
Snob Of The Week: Mr. Tudehope does it AGAIN! Perfection from the fit of the jacket, to the lenght of the trousers, to the proper proportion for the cuffs and lapels. Chocolate double monks shoes hit the right casual note keeping a formal grey suit from looking too, well, formal. The perfect relief from the sea of grey is found in the pop of a pale blue shirt and neon orange knit tie. Keep it clean. Keep it simple. Keep it elegant… And then add a twist to make it fresh! No one does it better than you Mr. TT !
Snob Of The Week: Mr. Davide Baroncini of Suitsupply Milano is checking all the correct style boxes; colour, pattern and texture.

Most properties on the mountain are small, usually b&b style with maybe accommodation for 2 or 3 couples. So it can come as an amazing challenge trying to co-ordinate a wedding of say 100 guests with attendees scattered here, there and everywhere
Fortunately a simple solution has emerged that overcomes this challenging issue. The Tamborine Mountain Tours company provide a wedding transport service. They will collect guests from their b&b, motel, guest house etc. They will deliver them direct to your ceremony, then onto the reception centre and lastly they will collect them at the end of the night and deliver them home safely to their accommodation on Mt Tamborine.
As well as solving all of the headaches of trying to co-ordinate this yourself, they are a local professional transport business and they know all of the local accommodation places. Lastly, and just as important as wedding transportation is the issue of guest safety. We all want you to have a wonderful day and no one wants it being marred by someone who may be just a bit too merry having a car accident after the wedding.
Please consider the simplicity of your guests being able to enjoy themselves the whole night without you needing to worry about their capacity to drive safely. It is not something that you want on your conscience at any time in your life, especially on this very important occassion.

Security vendors see commercialization of vulnerabilities and something else new: ransom malware
Looking for ways to control the spam beast?
Finjan report
Sophos Security Threat Management Report
Vulnerability auctions, do-it-yourself malware kits and ransomware are some of the security trends that have emerged so far this year, according to two new security reports.
"Web Security Trends Report," a quarterly report by Finjan Software's Malicious Code Research Center, focuses on the commercialization of malicious code. Sophos' "Security Threat Management Report" examines the top malware threats in addition to new ones such as ransomware. Computers infected with ransomware block users from accessing their files and display menacing messages demanding money.
A startling trend discovered by Finjan's security team involves hackers participating in vulnerability auctions in which they sell newly discovered security vulnerabilities to criminals rather than disclose them to vendors who could develop patches to fix the flaws.
Web sites such as Full Disclosure — well-known in the security community — offer auctions in which the highest bidder buys previously unknown vulnerabilities. The report shows examples of a hacker offering to sell information about flaws in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Version 7.
There is also a market for products that package vulnerabilities into easy-to-use toolkits, said Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer at Finjan. The industry has entered an era in which vulnerabilities are becoming commercialized, he said.
"Vulnerabilities are not just being used by technical people," he said. Malware toolkits enable nontechnical people to exploit vulnerabilities.
A Russian Web site offers one such product, Web Attacker Toolkit. It lets individuals embed malicious code into their Web sites. Anyone who buys the kit can create a malicious Web site that installs spyware on victims' machines when they visit the site. The product, which costs $100 to $300, is available with support and update services like any legitimate software product.
In addition, Finjan's research shows that some spam now contains malicious content or links to malicious Web sites and can be used to carry out blended attacks. To combat those new trends, people should consider using behavior analysis software to determine whether software code is legitimate before allowing it into a network, Ben-Itzhak said.
Meanwhile, members of Sophos' security team are seeing malware writers shift from mass attacks on general Internet users to focused attacks on small, specialized groups of Internet users, said Ron O'Brien, senior security analyst at Sophos. One of their weapons is ransomware.
One example is Zippos, which emerged in March. It encrypted user files and demanded that users pay $300 to stop the attack. Ransom-A prevented its victims from accessing their computer data until they paid a ransom of $10.99 via Western Union. It threatened to delete files every 30 minutes, the Sophos report states.
Several Sophos customers have been infected with ransomware, O'Brien said. However, the firm's experts analyzed ransomware code and discovered the password to unencrypt locked files. Sophos then posted the password on the company's Web site to help other victims.

Liven up boring rental decor
Make your mark with temporary improvements that won't cause a headache when you move
Susan Semenak, Postmedia NewsPublished: Saturday, August 27, 2011
Even if you aren't allowed to repaint kitchen cabinets, they can be updated with replacement knobs and handles. Home Depot, for example, has a good selection of inexpensive hardware in a number of finishes.
Art doesn't have to be expensive or precious. Conidaris places individual sheets of Japanese printed paper in similar frames, black or white, then hangs them together on a wall for a vibrant arrangement. She'll frame and hang them in two or three rows of three. Or you can buy original art - instead of another Monet print - from up-andcoming artists.
Group mirrors in different sizes and shapes above a bedroom dresser or on a hallway wall. Place the mirrors in antique frames (buy them second hand) or new ones. If the frames are different, unify them by sticking to wood or metal, for example, or a single colour. Or hang an oversized mirror in a small space to visually enlarge the space, and to bring more light into a dark area.
In the use of colour, textures and choice of styles, make sure to maintain a certain flow through the space, especially in lofts or small apartments where one living area opens onto another. Keep colours neutral and add accessories in one or two complementary colours. For example, in an adjoining living room and dining room, toss a red cushion on the sofa, then add a red vase or table runner in the dining room.
A few disparate elements that are slightly off add notes of whimsy. Even in a traditional setting, go for a crazy lampshade or a piece of unusual art or a splash of unexpected colour.
Nicola Marc is a British-born Montreal stylist and interior designer with the firm Marc Gold Interiors. Her styling, with its classic European detailing and whimsical touches, appears in numerous decor magazines, including Country Living, Style at Home, and House and Home. Here are a few of her ideas:
Curtains and cushions in great fabric can spice up an otherwise drab interior. Fabric is a great way to bring colour and pattern into an otherwise neutral room. Curtains offer privacy, as well as protection from the heat and cold. They are also highly portable.
In the kitchen area, Marc suggests hiding the washer or dryer behind a curtain of fabric. She strings the curtain panel along an elasticized cord hung from tiny eyelets in the cabinetry. (The resulting holes are easily filled before moving.)
A great way to bring together odds and ends in disparate styles is to paint vintage or antique pieces. Marc's own dining room chairs, painted brown, are on their third colour.
Instead of tiles, print out your own photographs and put them in brightly coloured frames to liven up the walls behind the kitchen counters.
That's pretty permanent, you might think. But Marc affixes hers to the wall with double-sided permanent tape, which she buys at the hardware store or at stationery supply stores. She jazzes up door panels and the backs of bookshelves and kitchen cabinets with all kinds of prints.

There's nothing quite like the heady aroma of fresh herbs, and nothing more satisfying than growing your own. Whether you use them to scent a room or give your cooking some much-needed taste bud titillation, if you live in tightly-packed city accommodation then indulging your appetite for fresh greenery can be difficult. If your home is not blessed with enough window space for a hanging garden like Windowfarms, but you have lots of floor space that's just begging to be divided up, then take a look at the Herb 2 project from FABRIKAAT. An experiment in folding and bending, this flexible partition wall is also a herb garden and an unusual source of low-energy lighting for your living space. Read More
Winning Taiwan Tower hosts a "21st-Century Oasis"
Japanese architecture firm Sou Fujimoto has won the Taiwan Tower International Competition with its green architecture design that features a floating forest. The competition is part of a larger urban plan in Taichung, Taiwan as a part of a new development for the "Gateway City." Architects were given the task of designing a tower that would be located at the southern tip of Taichung Gateway Park, with a minimum height of 300 meters (984 ft). Read More
Whereas the majority of vertical farming concepts and projects featured in Gizmag over the years have either been huge dedicated structures or add-ons to existing buildings, the Windowfarms system downsizes and personalizes veggie growing by placing an indoor farm in the window. The original plastic-bottle-based, do-it-yourself hydroponics system design has been available for a while now but the developers are getting ready to make a new, improved kit version available.

New York's proposed subterranean garden
Three New York entrepreneurs have unveiled plans to turn a long abandoned underground train terminal into a lush and thriving garden. Conceived by architect James Ramsey, VP of the PopTech social innovation network Dan Barasch and money manager R. Boykin Curry IV, the Delancey Underground Project hopes to create New York's first subterranean green space beneath one of the city's least green zones - the Lower East Side - in an unused rail space that stretches over two acres and is nearly the size of Gramercy Park.

Located in Cornwall, UK, in what once was a disused clay mine, you can discover a rich and abundant garden with over one million plants. Considered by the Guinness Book of Records to be the world's largest greenhouse, the Eden Project is a unique resource center for people who want to know more about nature and the environment.

Architectural firm CPG Consultants has fulfilled its "green" brief by incorporating a grassed rooftop into the flowing lines of the 5-storey School of Art, Design & Media at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. The 18,000 sqm building maintains the fluidity of the surrounding valley from the entrance to the main foyer and up into the external turfed roofs. Featured internal glass walls serve to enhance this visual connectivity with the lush surrounding, whilst also allowing light to flood through the classrooms. Read More
Concerned about our rising population having serious water supply issues in the not too distant future, Lilypad floating city designer Vincent Callebaut has come up with a floating amphibious garden that can clean our rivers as it travels the waterways of Europe. His proposed "audacious, avant-garde" Physalia project will be a self-sufficient, nomadic research vessel which can also host aqua-focused exhibitions and conferences. Read More
Space-saving chicken coop includes rooftop veggie patch
Having chickens and vegetables in your backyard is great for self-sustainability, but what if I want both in a small space? Seattle-based architect turned-self-starter Traci Fontyn has the solution in the form of the Kippen House; a modular chicken coop with a rooftop vegetable garden that creates a looped ecosystem to benefit both your home-grown veggies and eggs.

North America's largest living wall completed
Not content with having the largest non-industrial living roof in Canada and North America, designers in Canada have gone one step further with the completion of the largest and most biologically diverse living wall in North America. Green wall designers Green Over Grey recently completed work on the living wall at the Semiahmoo Public Library and Royal Canadian Mounted Police Facility in Surrey, British Columbia, which consists of a unique design covering nearly 3,000 square feet (279 square meters) and consisting of over 10,000 individual plants.

Finding room for green spaces in more and more crowded cities isn't easy but NYU graduate student Marco Castro Cosio has hit upon the idea of planting gardens on some previously wasted space found on city streets – the roofs of buses. With New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) running a fleet of around 4,500 buses, each with a surface area of 340 square feet (31.5 m2), Cosio says that if a garden was grown on the roof of every one, there would be an extra 35 acres of rolling green space in the city.
