UNC Charlotte is on YouTube
Storrs Gallery to Display Lott's 'False Front'
The Storrs Gallery will exhibit "False Front," works by Ted Lott from Wednesday, Nov. 19, through Thursday, Jan. 15.
Lott is an artist, designer and craftsperson; he believes that thinking and making are two sides of the same coin. He served as artist-in-residence at the Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Kohler Arts / Industry Program, Haystack School and the Vermont Studio Center. Lott received his M.F.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and his B.F.A. from the Maine College of Art. His work encompasses sculpture, architecture, furniture and public art, and it has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the country.
According to the artist, "Craft practices are at once defined and restrained by their connections to tradition. Viewing woodworking in the context of objects made with wood, housing, particularly stick-frame construction, emerges as possibly the most widespread use of the material throughout the modern world. Utilizing these techniques in a studio-based practice, it is my hope to further the conversation on how notions of craft fit into the modern world."
Senior Honored for Community Service
UNC Charlotte senior Jameka Parker has been recognized for outstanding leadership and service by North Carolina Campus Compact, a statewide network of colleges and universities committed to community engagement. Parker is a recipient of the Community Impact Student Award, which honors one student leader at each member school.
Parker, from Fayetteville, is one of 18 students across the state to receive the 2014 award, joining more than 200 college students honored by the organization since the award was first presented in 2006.
A pre-service teacher majoring in middle grades education with a civic minor in urban youth and communities, Parker said she believes deeply in service learning, both as a civic obligation and as meaningful pedagogy. As a part of a community engagement capstone, Parker started a girl's dance troupe in a high poverty middle school with a curriculum focused on academic achievement, mentoring and self-esteem.

Police say James Hennessy, 58, of Winnie Street was making anonymous calls to his neighbors. He was allegedly using racial slurs, even threatening the two family's lives.
"Threatening my nephew saying they were going to kidnap him basically they wanted the black child out, racist remarks," said Mr. Martinez, one of the victims.
The victims say they do not know him. But he lived within a block from them.
"For a while we didn't let him out we were in fear something may occur," said Martinez.
He says that part of the fear came from not knowing who was on the other end. The numbers and voices changed, with each call.
"The caller ID coming to those victims changed. One came back to St. Peter's, another came back to Andy's Sports Bar, another came back to the Ku Klux Klan in Arkansas," said James Miller, the Albany Police Department spokesperson.
Police say those three places were not actually where the calls were coming from.
Hennessy was allegedly using Trac Phones and the website BluffMyCall.com to disguise himself by typing in those other location's numbers, while the website changed his voice.
Police used that technology to catch him.
"They pieced together calls from the Trac Phone to the IP address of the online service and put together the times and dates," said Miller.
There was no answer at Hennessy's home Friday night. Police say he faces felony harassment charges.
"I just hope it gets resolved. We don't want to live like this. No one has to," said Martinez.
Police say that Hennessy told them he is a lawyer and a retired New York City Police Officer, after serving for 20 years.
This was a joint investigation by the Albany Police, the Albany County District Attorney and the FBI. The investigation is ongoing.

What a great twist on it's classical version! From hip hop to street dancing, a little jazz, ballet of course and even some a cappelle singing, the colorful and entertaining Urban Nutcracker is sure to entertain the entire family!
While it is a great show, dont expect to see world class ballet. It is though, a good dance performance. I definitively recommend it to everyone.

A really great show, can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The addition of hip-hop and the jazzing up of some of the classical music make it a very different experience from the many "Nutcrackers" you've seen before.

All this week, News First 5 and KOAA.COM are helping parents to get their children ready to go back to school. This morning on News First Today, we are focusing on the youngest students: preschoolers and kindergarteners.
I spoke with Kathy Howell, the Early Childhood Coordinator for Colorado Springs School District 11 about when parents can enroll their children for preschool. She says the district serves 3 and 4 year olds who've reached at least their 3rd birthday by October 1st.
"We have programs located in most elementary school buildings and some neighborhood preschool sites," Howell said.
In all, the district operates 33 preschools in the community. There is a limited amount of funding available and Howell recommends that parents who are interested call their office to see if they qualify. That number is 719-328-3111.
However, for many students, the first day of school comes when they enter kindergarten. The separation can be stressful for students and parents alike. Terry Martinez, principal of West Elementary in Colorado Springs, has seen it plenty of times and has some advice for parents who are wanting to make a smooth transition to school.
His first and most important recommendation is to visit the school with their child during the summer.
"Most of the schools in the area are open right now and they can come see the classrooms, they may see the teachers in their classrooms working," Martinez said. "That's a biggie that way they're not overwhelmed the first day of school."
He also suggests that children play "school" at home taking turns as the teacher and the student. He also encourages parents to read books about kindergarten with their children. He recommends Mrs. Bindergarten goes to Kindergarten by Joseph Slate and the Night Before Kindergarten by Natasha Wing.
"These things get your kid ready to know what's going to happen," Martinez said.

"I had every problem you can imagine", says Milagros Arguello, a resident of the Brickell area of Miami. She had diabetes, a sleep disorder, high blood pressure, addictive behaviors, not to mention a stage 4 cancer diagnosis. On top of all that, she was unemployed and uninsured. But she's living up to her name by experiencing a "miracle", which is defined by health care pioneer, Mary Baker Eddy, as "...that which is divinely natural". Many people would just give up on life, but not Milagros, one of the most courageous women I've talked with. Somehow she knew in her heart that she would overcome the odds and find health and peace. Having studied the work of Dr. Carl Simonton and Dr. Andrew Weil, leaders and pioneers of integrative medicine, she looked for a local physician, whose work integrated spiritual practices and lifestyle choices with a physical care program. She really wanted to find transformation and a path beyond drugs, surgery, to true healing, beyond her body. On Continue Reading
Defining Health
People have been defining and re-defining the word "health" for a long time now. Today the word most often refers to physical health, and the phrase "health care" has come to mean primarily care of the body. But it hasn't always been that way. For many centuries before ours, the Anglo-Saxon word "hal", the root word of health, had several inter-related meanings: healthy, whole, holy and healing. And if you were from the Latin speaking part of the world the words "salus" and "salvatio" meaning health and salvation, were just as inseparable. In other words, health, healing, salvation and spirituality were all part of the same package and were almost universally understood as such. Maybe that wasn't such a bad or backward thing. Looking for a simple contemporary definition of health, I did a quick web search recently and uncovered this "Brainy Quotes" definition from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: "Health is not a condition of matter, but of Mind." Author and Continue Reading
Laughter Provides Benefits for a Healthy Life
It's a funny thing. Research continues to prove that humor can help to improve our physical health. America's most famous humorist, Mark Twain, said it a little differently when he remarked that "The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter." Among the examples of how that weapon works are the amazing stories of soldiers' ability to endure starvation, tropical diseases and torture in prison camps during World War II, as told in Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides. Humor was about the only weapon the soldiers had, and it was often effective in helping them manage fear and maintain their health against fearsome odds. Some of them actually found ways to laugh at their absurd circumstances and sadistic captors. Humor had the power to break the despotic control of fear, disease and despair. This, in turn, allowed many of them to endure an otherwise unendurable horror . . . and survive. The PBS show This Emotional Life aired a "Benefits of Humor" segment last year Continue Reading
Posttraumatic growth is 'surprisingly positive flip side' of PTSD
Shakespeare may have said it best in As You Like It: "Sweet are the uses of adversity, Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head." Science is now helping to explain the Bard's positive spin on adversity by researching what the New York Times recently called posttraumatic stress disorder's "surprisingly positive flip side": posttraumatic growth, or PTG. According to Richard Tedeschi, a psychologist at the University of North Carolina who studies PTG, people are routinely reporting positive changes from trauma in five areas: • A renewed appreciation for life • New possibilities for themselves • More personal strength • Improved relationships • More spiritual satisfaction Tedeschi's research and other similar studies should sound a positive note and offer some hope for people with PTSD. So why don't we hear more about this? In a recent interview with Harvard Business Review, Martin Seligman, director of the Positive Continue Reading
Love heals: A dog's view
On a recent domestic flight I was happy to find that my bulkhead seat neighbor was a black Lab. He had been trained to anticipate and respond to his owner's seizures. The response part seemed natural, but the anticipate part was new to me. I asked the owner how that works. She had no idea but confirmed that her dog always knew before she did and would faithfully let her know if a seizure was imminent and then help her through it. Amazing. Reminds me of a Bible passage that I've sometimes wondered about: "Ask now the beasts and they shall teach thee" (Job 12:7). Is it possible that there is a lot more about health that doesn't have to be invented as much as discovered? Researchers are still asking questions about how dogs can anticipate seizures and how reliable the ability is. But there was no question in the owner's mind. If she were headed toward a seizure her dog was on it and fearlessly led her through it. Dogs are getting a lot of attention these days for their ability to Continue Reading
Happiness and health often go hand in hand
There's a reason Pharrell's hit song Happy is the first ever to top six different Billboard charts, with 4.5 million downloads. Happiness is contagiously healthy and research is now confirming and explaining why that's true. A recent CNN story, "Why happiness is healthy," mentions a 2012 review of more than 200 studies that found a connection between positive attributes (happiness, optimism, life satisfaction) and healthy outcomes (lowered risk of cardiovascular problems, lower blood pressure, normal body weight, lower levels of inflammation, a better sense of well-being). Laura Kubzansky of the Harvard School of Public Health found that optimism halves the risk of coronary heart disease. Wisdom and common sense have always told us that happiness isn't just a function of genetics or environment. Money can't buy you happiness, and difficult circumstances can't keep you from it. Studies proving the correlation between happiness and good health go way beyond a "Don't worry; be Continue Reading
Don't manage anger — get rid of it
I have mixed feelings about the popular movie Anger Management (2003) and its current TV spinoff. I do think humor is an effective anecdote to toxic anger (more on that below), but I take issue with the idea that we have to negotiate with anger through efforts to "manage" it. Why not just banish it? Anger has no place in a healthy lifestyle. None. Even annoyance, or "anger lite," can and should be eliminated. Studies show that somewhere between 75 and 90 percent of all visits to primary care physicians result from stress-related disorders. So each well-aimed, well-timed effort to eliminate anger from our thought and experience creates a healthier, more stress-free environment for everybody. We can defeat anger; we don't have to just manage it. And it may be more important to all of us than some of us think. Health care is everybody's business, and preventive health care is proving to be the least expensive and most effective kind of health care reform. Here are some ways to Continue Reading
Deepak Chopra to give insights on well-being in Tampa
The timing of Deepak Chopra's new book, What Are You Hungry For?, is just about perfect. The American Medical Association has declared obesity to be a disease, and the Centers for Disease Control says it's more common (affecting more than a third of us) and costly ($190 billion a year in added medical costs) than ever. But Chopra's take on the epidemic is as thought provoking and unconventional as his views of health and health care are. "The story of overweight in America is the story of missed fulfillment," Chopra tells us in the book, and then explains, "People turn to overeating to substitute for what they really want." He goes on to say, "Once you turn desire in the right direction, real transformation can take place." Chopra, who will offer his vision of "The Future of Wellbeing" Sunday at the Straz Center in Tampa, gives readers practical steps for finding answers to the incisive question posed by the book's title. These answers may prove pivotal in our collective struggle Continue Reading
5 steps to better health and harmony
Here's a truly transformational goal: Take greater control of your own health. Learning to assert more authority over how we care for ourselves could be the key to real health care reform. I've found that taking time in the early morning to pray and study gives me a healthy perspective from which to launch my day. My primary source of inspiration is always the Bible and one of my favorite verses is "Behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it." I like to think of that door as opening to a greater sense of peace and freedom, a deeper understanding of the spiritual source of health and harmony. And I love the idea that nobody can shut that door. Here are five ways to take action on that idea and step through the door to greater spiritual and physical health: 1 Be grateful. Scientific research has verified long-held wisdom: Gratitude is good for your emotional and physical health. Among the proven benefits are greater mental alertness, greater Continue Reading
Making resolutions? Expand their scope and your impact
Resolving to be or do better is a healthy practice any time of year. But a new calendar always holds an added promise of renewal and progress. It's a great time for change. Sometimes when I've made resolutions, they've been what I call "short radius" resolutions — get more exercise, eat less, sleep more, spend less, work harder. Nothing wrong with those, but even if successful their effective radius is somewhat limited. Resolutions that reach beyond ourselves and focus on blessing others can be very powerful, longer lasting … and healthy. As spiritual healer and author Mary Baker Eddy wrote more than 100 years ago, "Spiritualize human thought, and our convictions change." One way to do that is to start with concepts that are important to us and look for ways to make them regular features of our lives. This can be potentially transformative, not just for us but for all those within the radius of our thought and activity. A few examples: • Justice. Find ways to treat other Continue Reading

Canada, 2004 (MIFF 2004, FedEx International Panorama)
Director: Robert LepageFar Side of the Moon (La Face Cachée de la Lune) Canada
Acclaimed theatre and film director Robert Lepage (Possible Worlds, MIFF 2001) brings to the screen an adaptation of his own play. A playful, metaphorical tale juxtaposing sibling rivalry with the US'soviet space race, Far Side of the Moon is Lepage at his most creative.
Philippe (Lepage) is a 40-something doctoral student, moonlighting as a telemarketer. He and his estranged gay brother André (also played by Lepage), a TV weatherman, reunite after the death of their mother. Old wounds are soon opened when they dispose of their mother's possessions. As the brothers bicker it becomes quite clear they have virtually nothing in common. When Philippe receives an invitation to the Soviet Union to present his theories on the superpowers' competitive exploration of the cosmos, André is the only one he can turn to when things go awry.
'as in his previous films Lepage brings a prodigious talent for startling, interwoven imagery to bear on a story laden with metaphorical possibilities.' -Variety
Winner of the FIPRESCI prize at this year's Berlin Film Festival.
D/S Robert Lepage P Bob Krupinski, Mario St. Laurent WS Alliance Atlantis L French, English, Russian w/English subtitles TD 35mm/Col/2003/106mins
Robert Lepage was born in Montreal, Canada in 1957. Films include: The Confessional (1995), The Polygraph (1997), Nô (1998).

At the Waterfall Restaurant in the Quezon Province in the Philippines, you can sit at one of the long bamboo tables and dine on Filipino classics like barbequed skewed pork, escabeche, lumpia, stews, noodle soups, coconut milk and the ilk.
Cool, huh? Wait.
The really amazing thing about the Waterfall Restaurant (located inside the Villa Escudero plantations and resort) is that it's literally at the base of a waterfall.
Not just that, but you sit with your feet in a few inches of the water that pours down the rock-face towards the dining area.
Pretty incredible. We're not even sure what else to say.

Inter-Lakes Alumni Association Sends Out Giving Letter
MEREDITH — The Meredith/Inter-Lakes Alumni Association met recently to put together its Annual Giving Letter. This is the Association's main fund raiser for the year and the letter was sent out to all alumni that are currently in the association's database.
Classes which hold reunions are asked to send a copy of their updated class list to The Meredith/I-L Alumni Assoc., PO Box 1076, Meredith, NH 03253
The money that is raised from this fund raiser is mainly used to continue the association's yearly scholarships that are given to worthy seniors at Inter-Lakes High School. For the past 2 years the association has been able to award three- $1,000 scholarships.
Donations from the fund raiser are also used to help support the Annual Alumni Gathering, which is held each year on the first Sunday in June. This event gives all alumni the chance to reconnect with friends and class mates. The 2014 annual event will be on June 1 in the Winnipesaukee Ballroom at the Lake House at Mill Falls. The Alumni Association will be celebrating its 90th Anniversary.
Each year the 50 year Class members are the honored guests of the Alumni Association, and in 2014 the Class of 1964 will be honored. Carolyn Schoenbauer along with a committee of classmates is heading up the reunion plans and the class is looking to connect with all their classmates. The Alumni Association is also looking for alumni members who might be able to give a little of their time to help with the associations duties. Call Ann Sprague at 677-2196 for more information.

Consolidated Electrical Distributors opens new storefront in Gilford
GILFORD — Citing an opportunity to develop new business in northern New England and central New Hampshire, Consolidated Electrical Distributors has recently leased space in a Route 11 strip mall.
Under a five-year lease, Consolidated Electrical Distributors (CED) will occupy 8,100 square feet in the former State of New Hampshire Liquor Store location on Old Lake Shore Road, adjacent to the movie theater. CED serves the commercial, industrial and retail markets in the central and northern New Hampshire regions, including Belknap, Carroll, Coos and eastern Grafton counties.
With several vehicles and a staff of approximately seven people, Consolidated Electrical is poised to embrace a demanding and rebounding new building and renovation marketplace. CED is the exclusive area distributor of Square D products, a preeminent American manufacturer of electrical controls and distributors.
According to General Manager Mike Mains, the contractors in the area have extremely tight schedules and meeting their delivery demands is key to CED's success.
"Our customers are contractors who are working on tight deadlines. Time is money," said Mains. "Only CED can provide delivery of electrical supplies the same day the order is placed. Same-day service is what sets us apart from other wholesale distributors. Our mission is to simply delivering the best products in a more timely manner."
Mains, who has been with the company for 17 years, had been manager of the firm's Dover location. A key individual in the selection of the new space, Mains says location was the driving factor for the CED opening in the Gilford location. "This spot has a lot going for it. Being located right off the by-pass with ample parking, the Gilford location gives our customers quick and easy access to the building and the needed items."
Kevin Sullivan of Weeks Associates Commercial Realtors, brokered the deal for CED, with Summit Realty Partners of Lexington, MA, representing the building's owner. The managing broker for Summit Realty was Frank Normandin, who grew up in Laconia and retains local family and business connections in the Lakes Region area.

Welcome to the begginers tank gear guide! Post Patch 3.3
I will list here the best in slot items that a tank could get without the need for any raiding. This guide is aimed for new tanks post-patch 3.3 when the LFG system was introduced and gear has become easily obtainable
by anyone looking to upgrade to Ulduar-ToC ilvl gear without the need for a raid group.
Q. Why wouldn't a new tank find a begginer proggresion raiding guild and join them to get a chance at the " Raid level gear " ?
A. The reason might be with the tanks time schedule in real life which will cause him/her to miss out on progression raids and gear upgrades. There are many other reasons such as new tanks that only joined after patch 3.3 and most of the guides on the net are for pre-Naxx while most servers never run naxx any more due to the new content and so these new players will be left out on the current tier of raiding.
I will skip the past 3 tiers of gear and will jump straight to tier 9 as it is very easy to acquire.
Since blizzard has introduced the new LFG system in patch 3.3, new level 80 players that dont have the opportunity to raid now have an easy and quick way of aquiring the latest tier set of gear for their class/roll.
I will focus on the tanking gear a player can aquire easily through farming the emblem of triumph badges and getting crafted gear.
For the 1st random heroic you will run each day you will gain 2x Emblems of frost and usually 3x Emblems of triumph. After that you will gain 5x Emblems of triumph ( This number scales with the number of boss' in the instance ).
You also have the opportunity to uprade to tier 10 ICC level gear without raiding ! Which will only require some time and patience through the daily LFG system.
2x Emblems of frost every day for 30 days = 60 Emblems of Frost
20x Emblems of frost from the weekly raid quest which is easily puggable due to most people over gearing it.
6x Emblems from the introductory quest line for the frozen hall instances.
= 86 Emblems of Frost for your 1st month of turning level 80
80 Emblems afterwards which means nearly 1 upgrade every month without setting foot into Icecrown Citadel
Lets begin :
(Note: My own character that I have geared up through this system is a Death Knight tank, but I will post the gear for warriors and paladins also. / I opoligise but my experience with druids is very small, I would rather let a more experienced player guide you through /. )
Helm -
Faceplate of the Honorbound -- is best in slot for plate tanks // Cost 75x Emblems of triumph
Enchant-- Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector
Followed by :
Wrynn's Greathelm of Conquest -- Warriors
Turalyon's Faceguard of Conquest -- Paladins
Thassarian's Faceguard of Conquest -- Death Knights
The above 3 pieces are the tier 9 Conquest set for each class and cost 25x Emblems less than the faceplate.
Shoulders -
Shoulderplates of Enduring Order -- best in slot shoulders // Cost 45x Emblems of triumph
Enchant-- Greater Inscription of the Gladiator Or Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle
Followed by :
Wrynn's Pauldrons of Conquest -- Warriors
Turalyon's Shoulderguards of Conquest -- Paladins
Thassarian's Pauldrons of Conquest - Death Knights
Chest -
Breastplate of the White Knight -- Also best in slot for plate tanks // This piece is crafted and an will require
12x Titansteel Bars // 8x Eternal Lifes // 2x Majestic Zircons // 8x Crusader Orbs
Enchant-- Super Health
Followed by :
Wrynn's Breastplate of Conquest -- Warriors
Turalyon's Breastplate of Conquest -- Paladins
Thassarian's Chestguard of Conquest -- Death Knights
The tier pieces of conquest will cost 50x Emblems of triumph for the chest, but the crafted piece is vastly superior.
Legs -
For the legs you need to buy the tier pieces as there is no ilvl 245 legs that you can get for now without raiding.
Wrynn's Legguards of Conquest -- Warriors // Cost 50x Emblems of triumph
Turalyon's Legguards of Conquest -- Paladins // Cost 50x Emblems of triumph
Thassarian's Legguards of Conquest -- Death Knights // Cost 50x Emblems of triumph
Enchant -- Frosthide Leg Armor
If you have the gold you could craft Pillars of Might but they lack defense rating and might take you under the def minimum.
Belt -
For the belt I will also reccomend a crafted piece as it is superior to any of the vendor bought belts.
Indestructible Plate Girdle -- All plate tanks // Which will cost you 5x Titansteel Bars and 6x Runed Orbs
Enchant- Eternal belt buckle with a Solid Majestic Zircon.
Hands -
For the hands you will need your tier 9 Conquest piece as there is nothing better from the triumph vendors.
Wrynn's Handguards of Conquest -- Warriors // Cost 30x Emblems of triumph
Turalyon's Handguards of Conquest -- Paladins // Cost 30x Emblems of triumph
Thassarian's Handguards of Conquest -- Death Knights // Cost 30x Emblems of triumph
Enchant -- Formula: Enchant Gloves - Armsman if you need the extra threat Or Heavy Borean Armor Kit if you would like extra stamina. Or for the best effective health go for Glove Reinforcements
Wrists -
For the wrists the crafted ilvl 245 are best in slot so far.
Saronite Swordbreakers -- All plate tanks // Will require 8x Titansteel bars,, 20x Saronite bars and 4x Crusader orbs to craft.
Enchant -- Major Stamina
Boots -
There are no triumph emblem boots but we have 2 options for boots :
Black Spire Sabatons -- All plate tanks // Which drop from the final boss of The forge of souls Heroic mode.
Spiked Deathdealers -- Which are crafted // Cost 5x Titansteel bars and 6x Runed Orbs.
Enchant -- Tuskarr's Vitality
Cloak -
The best and easiest cloak to get is the PvP 264 cloak you can buy with honor in SW/ORG, there are 2 versions of the cloak and the only difference is the 1st provides hit while the 2nd provides AP. Go with hit.
Enchant -- Titanweave
Neck -
Fossilized Ammonite Choker -- Which drops from the tribute chest after the lich king encounter in Halls of Reflection Heroic.
Shard of the Crystal Forest -- Bought with 19x Emblems of Conquest
Rings -
Clutch of Fortification -- Can be bought with 35x Emblems of Triumph
Mark of the Relentless -- Which drops from Trial Of the champion Heroic.
Trinkets -
The Black Heart -- Which drops from Normal mode Trial of the champion
Glyph of Indomitability -- Which can be bought with 50x Emblems of Triumph
Now for main handed weapons and shields :
For Warriors and Paladins
Rimefang's Claw -- Is best in slot as a fast tanking weapon and drops from Pit of Saron Heroic.
Splintered Door of the Citadel -- Drops from normal mode Halls of Reflection
Enchant -- Stamina
For Death Knights there are 2 options for a 2h weapon :
Tyrannical Beheader - Which is best in slot for non-raiders. Drops from Heroic Pit of saron
Followed by Mourning Malice - Drops from normal Halls of Reflection
Enchant -- Stoneskin Gargoyle
What all of the above gear combination will net you:
32k + Health Unbuffed
550+ Defense
25+ Dodge
20+ Parry
And Finally 27k + Armor
Best of luck on your gear :)

Ankle-biting hackers storm net's overlords, hijack their domains
The websites of two of the net's most critical oversight organizations were hijacked by Turkish hackers who sent visitors to rogue pages that challenged the overseers' authority. Some of the official domains for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) …
Allah a HACK-bah
They stole their mega hurtz!
OMG The guys that have a huge influence over the net/web got their websites hacked!?
To me that is rather surprising.
a clue for law enforcement officials
the perps should be easy to track down, it is obvious from their message that they are involved in the martial arts action movie overdubbing industry.
No more difficult to hack...
... than stealing any other register.com customer's domain.
..and how it was done.
They appear to have omitted to take even the most basic steps to lock the domains down when creating them. Compare

>>>Note the change in the status line.
Run that past me again?
It was hacked on the basis of a fraudulent email? No signature on the email? No phone call to verify? For fucking ICANN and IANA?
Can anyone imagine ibm.com's dns registration being moved on the basis of an email? Or apple.com?
FFS, whoever took that action really needs shooting.
Fraudulent Email
First thing I thought, sent by a fraud-star.
Did the email promise additional monetary reward for prompt attention to the modalities of the transaction?
@steve of the web
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you owe me a keyboard....
So ICAAAAAANNN is vulnerable to..
...fraudulent emails?
Christ, the systems I look after are utterly nothing compared to this, but even I don't take the advice of a fucking email to confirm a config change of any kind - I confirm these things in person, or at least on the phone if it really, really can't be done in the flesh.
I'm trying to work out how someone could have put this through without triple checking it - I mean, it's ICANN, not BobsPlumbers.co.uk for gods sake!
Steven R
Social Hacking
Not machine hacking. Yet again, technology is more secure than the people that operate it.
and you think ICANN knows what they are doing?
look as how they coddle the cybersquatter industry. ICANN is a joke.
Customised TLD's eh?
At last, I can register trashbat.cock for my good friend Nathan.
Surprising, to say the least
So, they moved it on basis of a single email. How did they manage to get the PGP SIGNATURE right?!? If they didn't, shouldn't this registrar be relieved of their duty for NOT using digital signatures?!?
Re: martial arts overdubbing.
You can't say that without video evidence. They might have delivered those awfully cheesy lines in perfect lip-sync, which would make them far more likely to be American TV mini-series actors.
erm duh!
I mean come on, honestly the guy who read the e-mail and went yeah that's legit and then processed the request need shooting..
Oh wait maybe.... just maybe he got paid to do it..
I mean a big enough domain like that should have had a verifiable Digital signature on it that and have been verified 1st and not but simply hitting the reply button, but by looking up who registered domain and finding the e-mail address(es) attached to it and using them..
If it's that easy I'm off to redirect Microsoft.com to somewhere nice like itssnafud.com
Come on guys...
Lets be realistic. Sending a creative email to a group of obviously retarded engineers to change DNS pointers for the domain is no feat, just proof that some of our key infrastructure people are not taking their jobs seriously or should be fired for incompetence. Give me the job and I'll make sure any retarded attempt like this is triple verified with top management before implementation.
By the way, anybody notice these hackers can't spell? "Everybody knows wrong" should be "Everyone knows better". They're obviously using Google Translator.
And come on, SQL Injection? Yet another example of newby coders implementing systems from script kitty code without fully understanding the fundemantal security checks for any interactive sql system. Anyone hear of escaping single quotes for input strings?
SomeSQL = SELECT FROM table WHERE column = ' " + variable.Replace(" ' "," ' ' ") + " '

Is there an advantage of using smaller decoupling capacitor packages e.g. 0402 over the bigger packages such as 0805 from signal/power integrity, EMI stand point?

RELEASE - November 26, 2007
The Bearcat freshman trio of Lyndsi Worthington (Leawood, Kan.), Brittany Detlef (Rochester, N.Y.) and Danielle Gallo (Yorktown Heights, N.Y.) all were consolation finalists as well.
"The women swam with some
intensity," said Clark. "Fourteen different swimmers
combined to post a total of 31 lifetime best times, so we are
feeling pretty confident moving forward."
The Bearcat men are currently
ranked 11th in the Division I Mid-Major Swimming and Diving Rankings
with 163.90 points. The Binghamton women held the 25th spot following
the first release of the rankings on November 15.
Senior diver Matt
Russo (Manhattan, N.Y.) has excelled on the boards for the
Bearcats this season. Russo won the three-meter diver at the
Bucknell Invite with 252.50 points. Earlier this season, he was
victorious in the three-meter event against conference foe UMBC.
Both Russo and junior teammate Ryan Graham (Vestal, N.Y.) have
recorded some of the top performances in the conference this
season. Russo owns the fifth highest score in the both the 1-
and 3-meter dives, while Graham holds the fourth spot in the
1-meter and the sixth spot in the 3-meter dive

Not the least surprising was the company's invite to Mozilla developers to come up to Redmond and make sure that Firefox and Thunderbird run correctly on Vista. Microsoft also took Small Business Server 2003 R2 out of circulation with a sudden recall. But the company tossed a few new things out there for IT managers, too, just to balance the scales. Unfortunately, they both require some upgrade time.

What is IEM?
How IEM was started
UAB's IEM (Information Engineering and Management) degree was designed by industry leaders in 2000 to meet the needs of current working professionals looking for leadership and growth opportunities. IEM provides clients the opportunity to enhance both technical and management skills required in today's professional world. At IEM, we help you gain a broader perspective while reflecting the needs of today's marketplace: demanding, flexible and integrated.
The Focus of IEM
IEM is client-centric – i.e. the clients (you) are our focus. We are focused on the needs of the technology professional. We are not working to map all graduates into the same model, and we are not your typical graduate degree. The way we see it, our job is to train you and give you what you need to reach success professionally. We operate as if you have hired a consulting firm for your professional needs - helping you to strategically get where you want.
The IEM Difference
Clients of IEM receive a real-world view, a focus on networking, and a solid group of successfully established instructors who are passionate about seeing their clients grow in their profession. IEM instructors and administrators make it a priority to work with clients so that this degree can fit into the schedules, lives, and location of the clients themselves. From learning how to network, to interviewing, to understanding what resumes do--and what they do not do---we teach you everything you need to know. Real industry skills, taught by current industry leaders will give you the tools you actually need, and will use, to achieve the success YOU want. Consider IEM the boot camp for real success.
IEM Class Structure
Our assignments get you away from your desk and into the offices with successful people in YOUR business network. We structure assignments so that you talk to and shake hands with the people that build a network where it makes the most sense for you. We want to make sure you receive the tools you need to succeed where you are right now by building a lasting professional and personal network that will benefit you throughout your career.
Flexibility for Real People
Between life and work, you have a lot to juggle. We help you keep the right balance. Weekend classes and a collaborative learning environment make IEM ideal for motivated professionals looking to take their career to the next level. All clients are online clients, participating with members from around the world through our videos, lectures, and other materials all hosted online for your convenience.
Merry Christmas!

The Ideal IEM ClientThe Ideal IEM Client
We require industry experience. Most of our people are involved in technical fields, but the ideal person would be anyone sitting at their current job feeling like there is something more. Maybe they feel unfulfilled, or like they are not living up to their potential. Their education has gotten them to where they are now, but they want to move to the next phase. They might not even know what the next phase is for them, but they want to discover it and they need the tools to reach it.

"Big data, however one defines it, challenges some of the underlying principles behind data warehousing, causing some analysts to question if the data warehouse will survive.
In this article, I address this question directly and propose that data warehousing, and indeed information management as a whole, must evolve in a radically new direction if we are to manage big data properly and solve the key issue of finding implicit meaning in data."

Stunning evocation of place and its hold, for better and worse, on generations whose attraction never falters despite changes over the years. And all written in graceful, imaginative prose.
The wealthy Porter family spends every summer at their compound on Cape Cod, generation after generation. In this stunning novel, the story of their summers is told through the voices of various observers: Helen, the spirited eldest daughter: Bea, the Scottish nanny to the youngest daughter Janie; and Charlie, Helen's nature-loving son. The location, Ashaunt Point, is as much a character as anyone else. Graver's luminous writing makes the reader feel the icy sea water and long to sip lemonade on the porch. Ranging from 1942, when their point is invaded by the army watching for enemy submarines, through 1999, we see the generations unfold as the world changes around them, and ultimately changes them and their beloved summer sanctuary. Highly recommended – but not for action fans! Reviewed by DC
