The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons. In the IoT vision, every new "thing" - sensor, actuator, data source, data con...

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 styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

Fire managers say the controlled burn went according to plan around the Pino Fire in the southern Jemez Mountains on Tuesday.
Firefighters used hand and aerial ignitions to direct the wildfire control features, removing hazardous fuels and minimizing the threat of future fires.
The lightning-caused Pino Fire is now estimated at 1,618 acres.
Large columns of smoke may still be visible across northern New Mexico, Santa Fe and even Albuquerque.
The Environmental Health Department's Air Quality Program issued a smoke watch for late Wednesday through Thursday morning. The department says smoke levels are not expected to be high enough to warrant a health alert, but that smoke from the Pino Fire could continue to creep down the Rio Grande Valley into Albuquerque by Thursday morning.

Jackson Middle School and Eubank Elementary School were placed on lockdown Tuesday because of police activity in the area.
The lockdowns of the two APS schools were lifted without incident at about 1:25 p.m.
The schools were likely placed on lockdown as they were in the vicinity of an an apparent copper theft.
Police said someone intentionally rammed a squad car before running inside a home. That triggered a SWAT situation.
Emily McGovern and Jonathan Zottnieck were arrested as a result.
Police said Zottnieck rammed the squad car.

Tch..tch..tchthe sound of footsteps echoed across the empty part of the Uchiha distric in Konohagakure no Sato as a woman made her way to the front gate, pausing to admire the azure blue sky, huge white cumulus cloads floating lazily across it. Shizako Nara had matured into a beautiful, graceful adult, her body slightly more of an hourglass shape, her ebony black hair now in a loose ponytail that fell to her lower back, only a small strip of sapphire blue in her bangs. Glasses still remained perched on her nose, but only one eye was still sapphire blue, her left one was brown, a replacement for what she had lost in the war. A light blue kimono top fitted her well, along with a black sash and capris,and standard ninja shoes. Her hitai-ate rested snugly on her forehead, the plate no longer containing a scar as it had all those years ago,the fabric still a bright red.

Oct 24, 2011This record just feels flat, made up of a patchwork of half baked ideas. It's not very cohesive and doesn't hold a candle to Talkie Walkie which was amazing.
Dec 14, 2013An amazingly great album, it really does capture Air's atmospheric feel. I think a lot of the criticism comes from it being compared to Air's other work; this album isn't as energetic as Air's other music, but it's just as satisfying
Air remains a deceptively subtle band, but repeated listens to Love 2 reveal that Godin and Dunckel aren't just remaining true to their aesthetic here, but that even a smaller-scale album from the duo has plenty of wit and surprises to offer.
Thing is, it still sounds entirely like an Air album--just a remarkably bland one.
Consistently smooth to the point of tedium, Love 2 has the unruffled air of '50s bachelor-pad cool, often recalling Enoch Light and other space-age instrumentalists, but its overbearing electronic elements negate the organic feel it would otherwise inherit from those albums, leaving an impressively dispassionate patina with almost nothing underneath.

Company rewards Security Lancaster students for business solutions
Three MSc in Cyber Security students were rewarded by security company Secarma for their solutions to global security challenges.
Security company Secarma and the tutors delivering the Information System Security Management module set a series of coursework questions based on real world challenges faced by Secarma and its clients, including bring your own device, cloud computing and securing the supply chain.
The three students scoring the highest marks, Andrew Hassell, Kiril Ovcinikov, Jose Javier Orozco Echeverria, were awarded customised Raspberry PI devices, a letter of recommendation from Secarma and an opportunity to present their work back to senior employees of Secarma.
Stuart Coulson, Head of Sales at Secarma, explained, "It's quite clear from the students' presentations they've done today that they have got a very good solid backbone of information. They were able to speak on many different topics."
Competition finalist Jose comments, "This has given me some insight on the business itself, on understanding how IT and security is managed in industry, not only learning from experience but also applying knowledge to practical things."
Dr Daniel Prince, Associate Director for Business Partnerships at Security Lancaster added, "Secarma are a fantastic company to work with, they are really open to collaborating with the university and the academics. They provide us with access to industry that really benefits the student experience and their involvement was crucial."
Stuart concludes, "It's been really interesting to come to the university and find out what they have to offer us as a business and it's probably going to lead to more engagement with the university."
Security Lancaster is an EPSRC-GCHQ Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security. It brings together the Lancaster University's research in cyber security, security futures, investigative expertise, violence and society, and transport and infrastructure protection.

Thanks for the nice comments! Yes, the dress was sooooo comfy to wear. I will definitely plan to make other outfits in the future in that wonderful knit fabric.
It was VERY easy to make (I did it in one evening). The Lydia pattern is so nice and simple, I definitely recommend adapting it to your needs (all I did was made it longer, and brought the shoulder seams in a bit for my narrow shoulders). And the how-to on the cowl neck was really good.

In 1972, I took my first job in the real world: waiting tables at Ruths Hickory Mountain Restaurant in Siler City, North Carolina. Id moved to North Carolina to live on a farm with my boyfriend, grow organic vegetables, raise dairy goats and revel in a backwoods squalor that stupefied my parents. I needed an income, though, so for my job I donned a spongy white nurses uniform and white orthopedic shoes (the two items cost more than my first weeks pay), a yellow apron, pantyhose and a hair net. Ruths was a family-style restaurant, a family coffee shop. I learned the regional particulars: A burger all the way, for example, meant mustard, slaw, chili and onions. Everything came with French fries and hushpuppies. Barbecue meant a mash of chopped pork, usually served with coleslaw on a hamburger bun.
I was shown how to marry the ketchup bottles, refill salt and pepper and sugar shakers, work the coffee machines, and brew the local beverage of choice: a highly sugared iced tea. I was taught how to abbreviate and arrange my orders on a ticket. But there were no instructions for interacting with customers -- the English language was deemed sufficient. On my first day, I spilled a 20-ounce glass of iced tea on a mentally retarded man who, in turn, broke into noisy weeping. Otherwise, I managed to take orders and serve food. Within a week, Id served enough country ham biscuits, pork barbecue, fried fish, banana pudding and iced tea to wreck the cardiovascular health of any small city.
I was young (18!) and had not expected full-time work to be so life-consuming and exhausting -- or to so closely resemble a Flannery OConnor short story. Miz Ruth, the owner of the restaurant, was blind (although she did have the uncanny ability to count money, including bills, by touch). Al, her husband, had no arms -- hed lost them by grabbing a live wire when building the restaurant. As a pair, they coped; shed hook her fingers into his waistband and hed lead her around. He had a prosthetic arm, but he wore it only to drive and sign our checks. I actually never saw the thing. Next to the register sat a stack of free color post cards of the restaurant. Printed on the back of the cards, right where youd want to write a message, were a few words scrawled by Ruth: Come have a meal with the handicap [sic]. Its good eatin.
The shifts were nine hours with breaks. Often, I cried all the way home, partly from exhaustion and partly because life, as lived at Ruths Hickory Mountain Restaurant, seemed so difficult and bleak and poorly paid. Still, I did well and was given more hours and more responsibility, neither of which I remotely desired. Soon, I was awarded the badge of trust: I was asked to feed Al. (Eating was one of the few tasks that he and Miz Ruth couldnt manage -- she couldnt see where his mouth was.) Al and I would sit in a booth among the customers and, avoiding each others eyes, I would cut up food and fork it over to him. He took each mouthful like a snapping turtle.
Within a year, I gratefully went back to college, where I took part-time waitress positions in small cafes for spending money.
In graduate school at the University of Iowa, I applied for a job at the Hawkeye Truck Stop in nearby Coralville. The owner of the truck stop, Dick Meyers, was smart and quick, a recovering alcoholic and a big advocate of transcendental meditation; hed pay for his employees to receive instruction in the technique. Impatient of manner and always on the run, Dick nevertheless knew everything that was going on at his truck stop, from the restaurant to the fuel pumps, the gift shop to the mechanics pit. He read my application and offered me a job. He said, I have only one piece of advice -- and that is, no matter what else youre doing, when a customer comes through the door, you get him a cup of coffee before his ass hits the seat. If you give him that coffee, and a cheerful greeting, and keep his cup filled, it wont matter if the kitchen is slow or the food is bad.
Dicks coffee-first rule, I discovered, was brilliant.

"Snowpiercer" Korean sci-fi hit unveils international trailer (video)
January 8, 2014 - 20:46 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Snowpiercer has released an international trailer with more new footage from the Korean sci-fi hit, Digital Spy said.
The Japanese trailer has arrived for Bong Joon-ho's film ahead of its release in the country on February 7.
Tilda Swinton, Chris Evans, John Hurt, Kang-ho Song, Octavia Spencer, Jamie Bell and Ewen Bremner star in the film set in a future in which a failed experiment to halt global warming has plunged Earth into a new ice age.
The last survivors of the human race live on a train which continuously circumnavigates the globe. Unhappy with the classist society in which they find themselves, the residents plot revenge against their brutal dictator (Swinton).
Joon-ho has said that he "has faith" that Harvey Weinstein will abandon controversial plans for a severe edit for the film's release in the West.
Snowpiercer is yet to announce its UK and North American release dates.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome can impact quality of life for many young people. Not only is it associated with overt problems such as (central) weight gain and hair growth in unwanted places (face & abdomen), most recently it has been linked to sleep disturbances and subsequent sleepiness during waking hours.
PCOS can wreek havoc on health by causing changes in glucose and lipid metabolism that have negative impact on long term health. The association with metabolic syndrome puts women with PCOS at greater risk for heart disease and shortened lifespan. PCOS often demonstrates itself with anovulation, creating irregular, often heavy, menses and infertility.
Early treatment can help prevent or mitigate many of PCOS associated problems. Metformin can not only help correct the metabolic changes, improve weight loss efforts but also improve sleep quality. Other treatments are available for the hirsuitism and irregular menses. When ovulation is desired for pregnancy, clomid can often be successful.
PCOS is often undertreated as its effects advance slowly and are easy to ignore. Young women are often aware of the major impact this disease can have on their health. Anyone with irregular menses should be evaluated for PCOS and learn what can be done to prevent this disease from creating problems in the future.

Real estate heir charged for urinating on candyJuly 22, 2014 @ 12:00 pm
HOUSTON (AP) -- A New York City real estate heir who admitted killing his neighbor a decade ago in Texas is facing a new charge in Houston that accuses him of urinating on candy at a drug store.
Authorities say 71-year-old Robert Durst was arrested Sunday after arguing with store employees. They say he was charged with criminal mischief after urinating on at least $100 worth of candy.
His attorney, Chip Lewis, said in a statement Tuesday that they will address the allegations in court.
In 2001, Durst was arrested as a fugitive and admitted killing his neighbor and dumping the remains in Galveston Bay. He claimed self-defense and was acquitted of homicide charges.
Durst's family runs The Durst Organization, a privately held billion-dollar real estate company that owns several New York skyscrapers.

Police: Ambassador Suspected of Beating Daughter Has Diplomatic Immunity
ARLINGTON, Va. — Arlington County police say the ambassador of Equatorial Guinea is suspected of beating his daughter with a wooden chair leg but won't be arrested because he has diplomatic immunity.
Police were called to the diplomatic residence Monday night. Police spokesman Dustin Sternbeck says the girl sustained a "significant laceration" to her head, bruises and a swollen eye. She was taken to Virginia Hospital Center.
The diplomatic residence in the Washington suburb of Arlington, Virginia, is the home of Ambassador Ruben Maye Nsue Mangue. The news site ARLNow.com first reported the incident.
Police were called to the home previously in December 2013.
A person who answered the telephone at the Embassy of Equatorial Guinea declined to discuss the incident Wednesday. But she said a girl was taken to the hospital.

by ELLIOT GROSSMAN, The Morning Call

The furor led to a public meeting attended by more than 100 angry people, a state bill proposing to set guidelines on such exams, and a state police investigation. On Tuesday, another chapter in the controversy began. A federal jury started hearing testimony here on a lawsuit filed by the families of eight of the girls. Parents were outraged that the exams had been performed, allegedly without their knowledge.

But about 45 minutes later, Trooper Michael Kish of state police at Fernridge said the hearing would be postponed. Kish said he had assumed someone from the district attorney's office would prosecute the case, but learned there was a mix-up and that no one was scheduled.

John Morrison Comments on RAW, Natalya Talks WWE Superstars & Video Games
by Staff - November 28, 2011
- WWE Diva Natalya spoke with Complex.com last week to promote the new WWE '12 video game. Regarding video game popularity among the WWE Superstars, she said:
"I'll tell you one thing, with today's Divas and Superstars, there are a few things that are very prevalent in our locker rooms: protein shakes, iPads, and video games. With WWE '12, that is no different. You know that Kofi Kingston is going to be obsessed playing this game. You know that Tyson Kidd is going to be literally up until five in the morning playing the game. He'll probably miss his flight. You know Randy Orton is and The Big Show will be playing. I just know so many of them that are so excited, personally, for the game to come out. I think that this game, WWE '12, is going to exceed everybody's wildest expectations and leave them wanting more."
– John Morrison, who is expected to finish up with WWE at tonight's RAW Supershow, wrote the following on Twitter last night:
"I'll post more about the future next week. Right now I'm planning on tearing the house down at RAW tomorrow in Columbia SC! #JoMoSapiens"

Tales of my fabulous engagement ring
By mkhyde on August 13, 2014
I love my engagement ring to death. I love the story of where it comes from, how Hunter went about designing it, the sad but "everything happens for a reason" part of the story, all of it. Since I am such a die hard costume jewelry wearer on the daily, Hunter loves that he is the one to find a piece of good jewelry I will wear every day. Which is rather impressive, seeing as I have a beautiful collection of real goods from the span of my almost 29 years on this planet. I still have my first ever little bambino gold bangle even. Evidence:
I'm serious when I tell you I was the only 1st grader with pinky rings, real gold bracelets, and some crimped hair at catholic school.
Anyway, two years ago this September, Hunter pulled off the other impossible, and that is surprising me. I am the person who does not let observations go unnoticed. I am not easy to catch off guard, nor do I like not being in the loop on things. See also: previous post about controlling nature I've recently become acquainted with for myself.
Well, he did it. Never before seen footage right here, providing an eagle-eyed view of how it went down. And by eagle-eyed, I mean one of my best friends Andrea being in our loft above, on her belly like a sniper, snapping pictures and taking video.
Good times. I am such a difficult human being. Moving on, my ring was beautiful, vintage, and built together with a private jeweler, who is a family friend of Hunter's. The diamond came from a brooche that belonged to a woman with ties to English royalty. It was one of the outer ones of the setting and had a gorgeous glimmer to it. The band Hunter chose slightly resembles the arches of an M, so Hunter explains this as why he liked it.
Flash forward from the proposal, to two weeks shy of the one year anniversary of me receiving it. One evening right after work, I was being the good already wife I am and stopped at Toojays to grab some roogahla and turkey sandwiches. As I left the fine establishment and placed my hand upon the door to open it, the setting sun reflected against it and provided extra sparkle bouncing off of it. I smiled at the gem and got to my car, a mere 100 feet away. Once I secured the sandwiches in the seat belt (can't be too safe with that deliciousness after all), I drove to the exit of the shopping center and glanced down at the light. AND MY DIAMOND WAS GONE! I swear all thoughts left my mind and complete horror washed over my being.
I called Hunter frantically and we met right back where I had been parked and scoured the ground, my car, my person. We even talked to management at Toojay's to see if anyone might have turned something in. We prayed, meditated, hummed, and told my mom to light some candles at church immediately. No dice. We stayed well as the dark rolled in, armed with flash lights and hope. We went back the next morning and night too. No go. What was so strange was that I didn't bump my hand on anything, and literally it was 100 feet of distance I traveled from the last viewing I had of it, leaving the restaurant. This made the ordeal even more frustrating.
It was like we grieved. Besides the beauty it held by look, I was most devastated because the meaning behind why I even had it made it the hardest part to deal with. I love the whole story I've shared here, how Hunter decided to propose on a whim, literally on a Monday and by Thursday he had a ring and a plan in motion. Crazy SOB, yes, but adorably passionate absolutely. That he chose every detail for it with such thought. Losing it plain sucked.
We didn't rush to replace it. We waited almost 7 months to decide how we wanted to go about this in the part two segment. Since Hunter used a customization with a private jeweler like he did, there was not a simple replacement plan. We naively did not insure it separately either. This is one of those definitive moments in life of "DOH!"
We contacted Mr. Black, which definitely sounds like a suspect in Clue, and got him searching through his collection for a new diamond and once she was found, we had the best of best inspectors do a thorough new setting, with extra reinforcement and hold power. The day my girl came home to me, well actually she came to work. Hunter went to pick it up midday and mama wanted her rock so I flew out of the office over to his and I could be wrong but I recall "Gimme, gimme, gimme" was used. Excessively.
Things have a way of working out, because once we had the final new ring checked out, we learned it is an incredibly rare diamond. Since it was chosen in the manner it was, it was more about the size and fit and all that jazz. It just happened to be a little extra special once officially examined. BAM.
