Theo Martins - Sweetest Language
Artist: Theo Martins
Producer: Profit
Album: The Birth
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 34 votes )
With a voice similar to Lupe Fiasco and a flow that mimics Kanye West, Rhode Island born emcee Theo has caught our attention. After years of DJing in his hometown of Providence, Theo has stepped up to the mic and the boards to record and produce his new album, The Birth. On his new single, Sweetest Language, he pays tribute to the greats of hip-hop over a beat from guest producer Profit that mirrors Fiasco's The Coolest. While giving credit to artists like Q-Tip, Common and even Euro house legends Daft Punk for influencing his sound, Theo displays praiseworthy wordplay and supreme confidence on the mic. Watch for the true Birth of his career, scheduled for August 8.

Included are reader-approved song releases "On a Mountain," "The Fringe" and "Today."
Stro Elliot handles all production throughout the EP, except on track three, which features additional boardwork as well as vocals from Logan. Italian trumpet player J Kyle Gregory and Canadian rapper Shad also assist on the guest tip.

"Don't be ridiculous, young lady. You need something SENSIBLE." Jamie sat at the kitchen table, her head in her hands. Week 5 of the search for her first car had just dawned, and she was about ready to give in.
Tag: Racing
One of the best things at PRI is a little room, tucked just off the main hall, that usually houses the first-time exhibitors or late entries. This year's "new arrivals" included an outfit called Midwest Supercub and Midwest Supercub's line of homemade, alcohol-burning, CNC-milled racing engines. For lawn tractors.
I was there when Ford debuted its new-for-1999 Mustang Cobra with its "revolutionary" new independent rear suspension. The IRS was a first for the Ford Mustang, and it was a move that Ford's brass believed would allow the "new edge" Cobra to compete with cars like the BMW M3 for supremacy in the budget super car market. I also remember the very first question that was asked: Will a Ford 9″ bolt in? It was the first question, right out of the box … and it seems like someone at Ford remembers. The new-for-2015 Mustang is going to hit dealers with a new independent rear suspension late next year, and it seems like Ford Racing will have a 9″ live axle option ready.

Under Indian ownership, Jaguar has descended into the sort of theme-park Engish-esque-ness that was once the exclusive property of MINI. A Britannia-flag F-Type-RS is surely just days away at the point as Tata sweats to polish the brand before the inevitable start of Asian assembly. Today's Jags are interesting and characterful vehicles after a fashion, but as with many other brands, they are still relying on the glamor of a previous age to move the metal.
So let's return to that age, when John Egan ruled the roost and the pennies were pinched properly and "heritage" was a concept honored mostly in the breach, not the observance.
The number 42 Dodge Charger was running well. Although it had qualified in 9th position with a top speed of only 177 miles per hour, during the race it was clocked as high as 188 miles per hour and its driver, an amateur racer who made his living singing cowboy ballads at the Grand Ole Opry, was really mixing it up with the professional drivers. The Winston 500 was a big deal and, as one of the premier NASCAR races, there as a lot at stake. Talladega was one of those legendary places that captured the imagination and the attention of every race fan in the nation was focused on the event. For older, more experienced drivers a good performance meant job security while for the new guys, like Darrell Waltrip who was making his first ever Sprint Cup start in the race, a good performance could mark a man out from his peers and maybe garner the attention of one of the big teams. Given the expense, the effort, and the experience that it took to even field a car in the race, how was it that a country and western singer in a car paid for mostly out of his own pocket could be running so well? The answer is simple, he was cheating. (Read More…)
Since I became a Coloradan a few years back, I've joined all the other car freaks in the Mountain Time Zone for the annual pilgrimage to the 30th-tallest mountain in the state for the big race. I shared my photos from the year Monster Tajima broke the 10-minute barrier, and from from the year the course became all-asphalt, and now I've got some shots from last weekend's event. (Read More…)
Memoirs Of An Independent Repair Shop Owner: "TRAINING WHEELS"—or How Motor Sport Influenced My Formative Years—Part Three
Just to set the record straight, my use of the phrase "Wonder Years" (in Parts One and Two) is not sourced from any past television series, but rather, from the original source: an advertising campaign from the '60's (it may go back further than that, but that's when it was introduced into my consciousness) featuring a brand of sandwich bread. That's the impact that television had back in earlier times. To be able to lay down a form of written history that includes such occurrences is one of the main reasons I'm logging all of these "Memoirs". A forum is thereby provided that can be both informative to younger generations, and allow the generations that "were there" to recall and discuss these events. (Read More…)
Having just attended the 97th Indianapolis 500, I'm feeling especially passionate about telling others to get there in person someday. I believe Indy to be one of those special experiences that you have to see in person to appreciate. I've attended IndyCar, NASCAR, American LeMans, NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and many other sporting events, but the Indy 500 stands out as something special.
Confession time: I used to be really into Import Cars and the tuning scene. My high school years coincided with the rise of The Fast and the Furious franchise, and having already been pre-disposed to loving Japanese cars, it was natural that I'd gravitate towards this niche.
MEMOIRS OF AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP OWNER: "TRAINING WHEELS"—or How Motor Sport Influenced My Formative Years—Part One
As with many young lads growing up as the motor sports world was rapidly advancing in the 1960's, I was totally fascinated with just about anything sporting wheels—especially if there was a powerplant involved. And especially if it involved head-to-head competition with such devices.

I had been posted a thread before about developing photographic paper with pyro developer and make relief.
Answer was factory made emulsions are hardened and do not relief.
Last night someone was talking about softening the emulsion with ammonia.
I thought if we can soften the emulsion like homemade emulsions , we can do many things.
I thought if we additionally sensitize the softened emulsion
A- We can get a relief
B- We can get two layers of photograph from single paper or film one on other.
Ian Grant reported this commonly applied technology at high end but our emulsions are not suitable.
Now I ask how these folks do that and which emulsion is suitable ?
Is it makes sense ?
Good night ,

2 tornadoes strike in NYC; no injuries reported
NEW YORK Two tornadoes struck the outer edges of New York City on Saturday, hurling debris into the air and knocking out power but causing no serious injuries among startled residents accustomed to thinking of twisters as a Midwestern phenomenon.
The first hit a beachfront neighborhood and the second, stronger tornado followed moments later about 10 miles away.
Videos taken by bystanders showed a funnel cloud sucking up water, then sand, and then small pieces of buildings, as the first moved through the Breezy Point section of the Rockaway peninsula in Queens.
The second hit to the northwest, in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn also near the water, about seven minutes later. The National Weather Service said winds were up to 110 miles per hour, and several homes and trees were damaged.
Residents had advance notice. The weather service had issued a tornado warning for Queens and Brooklyn at around 10:40 a.m. The storm took people by surprise anyway when it struck about 20 minutes later.
"I was showing videos of tornadoes to my 4-year-old on my phone, and two minutes later, it hit," said Breezy Point neighborhood resident Peter Maloney. "Just like they always say, it sounded like a train."
In the storm's wake, the community of seaside bungalows was littered with broken flower pots, knocked-down fences and smashed windows.
At the Breezy Point Surf Club, the tornado ripped the roofs off rows of cabanas, scattered deck chairs and left a heavy metal barbecue and propane tank sitting in the middle of a softball field, at least 100 yards from any nearby home.
"It picked up picnic benches. It picked up Dumpsters," said the club's general manager, Thomas Sullivan.
Half an hour later the weather was beautiful, but he had to close the club to clean up the damage.
The roof of Bob O'Hara's cabana was torn off, leaving tubes of sunscreen, broken beer bottles and an old TV set exposed to the elements.
"We got a new sunroof," said O'Hara, who has spent summer weekends at the Breezy Point club for his entire 52 years. "The TV was getting thrown out anyway," he added.
The second tornado tore through parts of Brooklyn with strong winds, causing structural damage to several homes and felling trees.
The tornado struck as part of a line of storms that were expected to bring damaging winds, hail, heavy rain and possibly more tornadoes throughout the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Saturday. More than 1,100 customers lost power in New York City.
Across New York state, in Buffalo, strong winds from a broad front of thunderstorms blew roofing off of some buildings and sent bricks falling into the street. More than 6,000 customers were without power in East in Warren County, another 1,500 or so were without power in other areas upstate, and about 3,000 customers in the Hudson Valley were affected.
The city of Albany canceled the evening portion of an outdoor jazz festival because of the threat of storms, and hundreds of upstate New York homes lost power as the weather system moved through.

The 2011 Grammys continued the award show's tradition of offering a roster of collaborations.
Sunday's festivities kicked off with a powerhouse tribute to Aretha Franklin, who presenter LL Cool J confirmed is "at home in Detroit right now getting better."
To honor the Queen of Soul (dubbed the Queen of the Grammys last night), Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Adams, Martina McBride and Florence Welch each performed some of Aretha's biggest hits.
While Christina, thankfully, managed not to flub any of the lines to "Ain't No Way," we loved J. Hud's rendition of "Respect."
Don't take our word for it, though. Aretha herself couldn't say enough good things about the tribute.
"I LOVED it! The ladies all sounded so wonderful and they looked fabulous!" Aretha raved in a statement. " I enjoyed each and every performance, especially Yolanda doing 'Spirit In The Dark' and Christina's rendition of 'Ain't No Way,' Loved them all! They all looked beautiful, I really liked Jennifer's outfit, those epaulettes on her shoulder pads were too sharp! Bravo ladies!!!"
Janelle Monaé, B.o.B. and Bruno Mars teamed up later for a retro, but still completely amazing medley of their biggest 2010 singles. We really enjoyed the jazzier take on "Nothin' On You" and the variety show feel of the whole performance. Check it out!
Rihanna joined Eminem on stage for another performance of their highly controversial collaboration of "Love the Way You Lie," which started off with her remix of the song. Rihanna's gown for the performance was fierce, but check out who else popped up on stage during their set.
Rihanna came back later for a fiery performance of "What's My Name" with Drake.
Teeny boppers, grown women and the Smith family all went wild for Jaden Smith, Justin Bieber and Usher when they hit the Grammy stage for their medley.

There hasn't been any news lately about the proposed 24 feature film but Kim Raver is open to reviving her Audrey Raines character if called.
In a recent interview with USA Today, Raver discussed her work on Grey's Anatomy and on getting her start as a child actress on Sesame Street. She and her older sister Cybele were discovered playing in a department store while their mom shopped. She spent three years on the show. Raver said, "For me, the amazing thing was entering into this amazing world of Sesame Street… In one episode I was playing football with Joe Namath. I had pigtails, and I was so little."
Though she wasn't all that crazy about her character being in jeopardy, Raver says she might reunite with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) some day. Raver noted, "Never say never on 24… Audrey's not dead. She's just in bed somewhere."
As you may recall, the character was last seen in the season six finale. Jack broke into James Heller's home to take her away but ultimately decides that she's better off without him. We see the "silent clock" tick down to end the season.
What do you think? Would you like to see Audrey Raines return in the 24 movie or has her time passed?
UPDATE: Though the older girl isn't wearing pigtails, it looks like this clip could be the one that Raver is talking about…

The idea of this product is great but when I used them they ripped every time so when I would change the litter it would just pour out of the bag into the box, it did help keep the bottom of the box much cleaner in spite of ripping.
Pros: Keeps the litter box cleaner
Cons: Rips easily

It was a musical, with composer Alex North at the helm. North went on to Hollywood where he became a prolific composer for movie scores, including "2001, A Space Odyssey;" "Spartacus" and "Streetcar Named Desire." In fact he was nominated 15 times for an Oscar. Duncan went on to the Navy (it was World War II, remember) and then to Princeton, followed by producing such off-Broadway shows as "Misalliance," "Long Day's Journey Into Night" and "Godspell." He co-produced Godspell with Edgar Lansbury (Angela's brother) and the two did the movie for Columbia Pictures. For the past quarter century he has been the theater critic for The Princeton Packet, covering a wide array of shows, from college and community to professional.

Assemble has helped us cut our estimating time by 50%. Our team uses the time-savings to concentrate on high value activities to deliver cost savings to the owners and improve project results.
Assemble provides us with immediate insight into design changes, which enables us to respond faster to the process of the change. Without Assemble, identifying the scope differences and quantifying their cost impacts took days or even weeks, now it takes just minutes.
With the evolution of BIM, and 3D modeling becoming an integral, daily part of our profession, Assemble poses to be a great tool to have on our belt.
An airline terminal must be operational 365 days a year and accommodate the daily rhythms of passengers, service providers, management, security and crew. Keeping people and planes moving around construction sites, while keeping the projects moving faster, requires a high degree of project controls that we couldn't deliver on fast enough without Assemble.
With its ability to easily audit a 3D model it allows for greater accuracy for real-time cost estimation, reduces collaboration efforts and keeps all stakeholders up-to-date. I recommend this application to firms looking to incorporate data-rich model information into their workflows.

Last week, when you were too busy to post the update, felt like the longest week I've ever been through. I'm so excited for the game, hope I can look at the beta.
Secrets of Grindea is an old-school RPG, with co-op support for up to 4 players. In the world of Grindea everything is determined by one thing - how big you collection of stuff is. You take on the role as a young hero (or heroine) taking his or her first steps to become a famed Collector and help collect the most valuable rares in the entire kingdom! The game features zelda-ish gameplay, but with deep character customization and skill systems. We have no classes; you build your hero from scratch putting skill points in almost anything you want, with no level caps holding you back. We have a lengthy main story with dungeons in all shapes and colors, as well as multiple side-quests and hidden secrets~ All this can be played with up to 4 players co-op, or just by yourself if you're more of a single player guy.

What the beta is
It's a way for you to help us make a better game, by finding bugs, annoyances, and sharing your thoughts on what can be improved upon (and the things we've got right).
What the beta isn't
The Minecraft Alpha, where you could already do a ton of stuff, and where its open ended nature meant that the alpha version was pretty much a complete game in a sense. So, if what you're yearning for is the final product, a beta might not be for you!
How long is the beta?
For the average player, a playthrough where you disregard everything but the main quest would probably take about 30 minutes.
If you complete the side quests, up to 60 minutes.
Getting 100 % completion (side quests, rare drops, cards, crafting, fishing, challenges, etc) would likely take a few hours.
The game isn't very long yet, as we're still in a phase where we add new features, and we want to be somewhat done with the basic framework before going into full content crunch.
How many people will be invited?
In two weeks, we'll invite 5-6 people, mainly to test out the system. A week after that we'll send out more invites. How many sort of depends on the amount of interest shown, but a majority will probably get in. Since we want new "first impressions" between each major update, we want to keep a portion of potential beta users on standby.
After the beta has begun, older applications will be picked first, so if you post before the start of the beta, you're pretty much guaranteed to get access within the first few updates.
Do I need Desura?
Yes, you'll need Desura. For those not sure what it is, it's basically like Steam (but more lightweight). We use this platform because it makes it very easy for us to gather the community and manage invites etc, as well as providing some convenient features like auto updating.
Enough with the info! Where do I sign up?
There's a forum thread in our beta section where you can throw a post at us to share your interest in participating! Log in with your Desura/IndieDB account and post whatever. If you're someone we might know from another community, feel free to mention that in the post! You absolutely don't need to write a pitch or anything – apart from some veterans the picks will be random.
When you get invited to the beta, you'll also be invited to a private group where you can discuss the game with us and other users!
Last week, when you were too busy to post the update, felt like the longest week I've ever been through. I'm so excited for the game, hope I can look at the beta.
I would love to test the game :)
Man, I would love to be able to play this game. I have been waiting, for what seems like forever for this game to come out. I love the crisp animations of this game; such a beautiful game. Most games seem to over look full animations.
If invites are still happening, I would love one. If not, ill continue to wait ;)
invite please this looks simply amazing
Steam Early Access!!! :D
hi, i newbie here... may i try this game, thx
Can't wait to play! please invite me to the beta! and keep up the great work, the game looks amazing!
Could i have a beta invite i would be very happy !
you know what i liked of this game?
Good graphics, good Battle system and better 4 players system on 1 pc.
I need a beta Key *q*
I wish you'd do a paid or open beta, instead of selecting very few people who don't contribute in any way whatsoever.
Highest Rated (10 agree) 10/10
It seems to be spectacular.
Can't wait for the beta!

Significant population growth in many major urban centres across Queensland continues to place pressure on regional water supplies.
Water security for South East Queensland (SEQ) is facilitated by:
SEQ is the only region in Queensland where desired LOS objectives are mandated by the State Government, by prescription in the Water Regulation 2002. This is due to the bulk water supply system being owned by the State Government, and there is the potential for very high concentrated economic impact if the region runs out of water. Outside of SEQ desired LOS objectives are not mandated, but local councils and water service providers are encouraged to develop and plan for their own desired LOS objectives.
Working in partnership with water service providers, the Queensland Government, over the next three years, will undertake regional water supply security assessments for potential high-growth regions. The assessments are seeking to provide a regional context of water supply security and develop a shared understanding of the potential water supply security risks the community faces.
The assessments will forecast water demand for various population growth scenarios, taking into account water availability, reliability and multiple water users—such as urban and agriculture— sharing the same resource. The effects of changing climate conditions, including drought will also be considered. This work program will help water service providers to better understand their water supply system and associated risks. Water service providers will be responsible for consulting, determining and implementing water supply solutions for their communities.
Water service providers will then be able to engage with their communities to consider the long term level of service to be provided and what that means for infrastructure solutions, as well as demand management and water efficiency as part of an overall solution.
Four regions have initially been chosen to be rolled out this year. Rockhampton, Townsville and Cairns were chosen due to their potential growth. Mt Isa was selected based on recognition of potential growth against water supply capability in an arid area. Other regions will be included over time.

Today's Supreme Court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby is a step backward for women's health and reproductive rights, and also for their fundamental autonomy. The majority opinion permits some corporations to express religious beliefs at the expense of their employees' own religious beliefs, healthcare needs, and individual choices. At the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), we know just how vital it is for women to maintain control over their own health and reproduction.
"All too often, abusers restrict access to contraception or force unwanted pregnancies as a means to exert power and control over their victims," said Kim Gandy, President and CEO of NNEDV. "Women, especially victims of domestic violence – not their employers or abusers – should control this important aspect of their lives."

A Tennessee judge let an abuser, who resisted arrest after beating his ex-girlfriend, out of jail before the "12-hour cooling off period" because "victims sometimes give incorrect information." The abuser then went on to brutally attack the victim - who was collecting her belongings from their home – that very same morning, when he should have still been in jail. . . Is it 1954 or 2014?

Utter waste of cap space, I might add.

Utter waste of cap space, I might add.
This lack of specific infos is frustrating and if the case is on of these two: A) they signed him without a 100% knowledge of his medical problem or B) They knew it and it's a cronic condition... Well that's pretty much scary and untrustworthy on Demps managerial skills.
Oh, okay.
I am in a no-win situation I guess. Thanks guys
EDIT: I just hate when people say insider info, but there's only a 50% chance that this may happen.
A little perspective never hurts.
Dwayne Wade has missed double digit games in 4 of his 9 seasons, and has played in less than 80% of his teams' games in his career. What a soft little baby right? Ray Allen has had multiple injury issues in his career, even in his prime. Manu, Vince Carter, TMac, Brandon Roy...the list for elite 2 guards goes on and on. The life of a shooting guard is probably the roughest of any position. They run, cut and attack the paint the most, and take the most contact and damage proportional to their size. If they are not close to 100%, it is better to rest than to play through it for a young team with long term goals.
You roll the dice with these guys, injuries or not, because a dynamic scorer on the level of EJ is very rare and absolutely essential to winning big in this league.
So as frustrating as this is, resigning him was still the right NBA business decision. McNamara and his ilk (didn't realize David Thorpe was a doctor) giving definitive armchair medical opinions on a 23 year old with no reported degenerative or structural body issues is meaningless to me. Its just overly emotional babble from know-it-alls who have never laced em up and probably can't drop a single-single in a YMCA pick up game, much less go against the world's greatest athletes 3 times a week. I'm not in EJ's head and don't pretend to know what he feels. Lulz at you guys screaming in your dockers and loafers from your cubicles about what kind of pain YOU would play through if you were him. Comedy.
You DO NOT eff around with knee injuries. I'd much rather he sit and get right.
Nows just not the time to say "I told you so." We can see it with our eyes, unfortunately. And it's getting so old.
The Hornets need to be more transparent with the fans & stop lying to us
As to you specifically? I honestly don't remember reading anything about you saying this or that about Gordon's health. Don't take it the wrong way, but I was only a sometimes visitor to 24/7, the way I am with AtTheHive. Not dissing, just how my rounds go when I'm bouncing around the Internet as I do. Can only speak for myself though.
It's because you act like you're all of fifteen years old, little Mikey.
Oh, and...
I don't think you guys understand. I don't care how you all view me personally, I just think some people should realize that they are hypocrits with regard to what they want and ask for and this is why the "mainstream" media will always play it safe; because there is no reason to tell people what is really going on behind the scenes.
Just watch how Nola.com covers this story, how ESPN does (if they do), what Monty and Dell say in public. It is because there is no benefit to telling the public the truth- only downside.
I still havent learned yet, but I might someday
This summer when Phoenix wanted him and he told NO he didn't want to return I said lets work out a sign & trade and people bashed me. I realized that he was the centerpiece from the CP3 trade but now he's only going to hurt the franchise even further now
Truths can suck. But I'm not a baby, unlike some "athletes" I know of, I can handle it. Hell. I'm already over the hard emotional part.
If he carried himself more like Joe and Jason, it wouldn't be a problem.

Great deal, even for the entry level camera6/4/2013
Simple install, robust functionality. Especially considering the price. More functionalty is exposed when using Internet Explorer with supplied ActiveX control. Certificate seems to have expired on the ActiveX, but with the simple security tweak it can be bypassed. Changing the security setting "Download and Install unsigned or Problem with Signature ActiveX controls" only needed during the installation time. It can be (and should be) changed back when done.

misleading advertising copy5/7/2012
The advertising for the item I ordered said it was for 2X and showed a picture of two cameras. After placing the order, I received an email stating there was a mistake that the picture of the order showed a pack of 2 due to dbase corruption.

Trend Micro Smart Protection Network to Be Enhanced With Lighter, Faster and Stronger Cloud-Client Endpoint Security Capabilities
NEW YORK, June 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Trend Micro Incorporated , a global leader in Internet content security, showcased today current and future solutions and services fueled by the company's expanded cloud-client approach to endpoint security during its annual corporate vision event in New York City.
Designed to reduce reliance on time-consuming pattern-downloads on the client, this new approach is expected to become a key component of Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, a next-generation cloud-client content security infrastructure designed to protect customers from Web threats. It delivers the infrastructure behind Trend Micro's solutions and services and demonstrates Trend Micro's commitment to executing on the company's strategy and vision to move more security capabilities into the Internet cloud.
The next stage of Web threat protection — stopping them "in-the-cloud"
This announcement marks the next stage in the company's multi-layered strategy to combat cybercriminals who have transformed what was once a relatively simple landscape of viruses into a complexly hidden, yet flourishing underground economy that preys upon the growing number of businesses and individuals who use the Internet on a daily basis. Trend Micro continues to push security further into the network infrastructure, stopping threats at their source in the cloud, while also embedding multi-layered protections more deeply into the network.
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, which uses a number of patent-pending technologies, combines Internet-based (or "in-the-cloud") technologies with lighter-weight, client-based methods to ensure customers have immediate access to the latest and strongest protection wherever and however they connect — from home, within the company's network, or on the go.
At the heart of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network is the move beyond the conventional approaches of blocking threats and towards a global network of threat intelligence that uses Trend Micro's cloud-based technology to block Web threats before they reach a network or computer. Leveraged across the company's on-premise products, as well as hosted solutions that have effectively protected millions of customers since Trend Micro's inception 20 years ago, Trend Micro Smart Protection Network takes the fight against crimeware into the Internet cloud.
"Memory-consuming pattern files on PCs and networks have grown exponentially in recent years. In 2005, approximately 50 new patterns were added to a pattern database in a given day; in 2008, that number has grown to 5,000 a day," said Raimund Genes, CTO of anti-malware for Trend Micro. "By storing the majority of pattern files in an Internet cloud database and keeping them at a minimum on the endpoint, Trend Micro helps stop Web, file and email threats before they reach the end-user or the corporate network. This new approach lightens bandwidth consumption on customers' networks and endpoints and provides faster and more comprehensive up-to-date protection."
First introduced as Trend Micro's Web threat protection strategy in March 2007 and renamed as part of this announcement, the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network correlates Web, email and file threat data using reputation technologies and continuously updated threat databases in the cloud to detect, analyze and protect customers from the latest threats. These technologies have been successfully integrated within the company's security solutions portfolio throughout the past 15 months and currently handle an average of 5 billion queries per day. With its Web threat protection strategy, Trend Micro first staked the claim that traditional scan-based security solutions alone can no longer provide effective protection from insidious Web threats and that a multi-layered, multi-component set of flexible, adaptable techniques was needed.
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network: Key ingredients Web reputation technology
With one of the largest domain-reputation databases in the world, Trend Micro's Web reputation technology tracks the credibility of Web domains by assigning a reputation score based on factors such as a Web site's age, historical location changes and indications of suspicious activities discovered through malware behavior analysis. It will then continue to scan sites and block users from accessing infected ones. To increase accuracy and reduce false positives, Trend Micro Web reputation technology assigns reputation scores to specific pages or links within sites instead of classifying or blocking entire sites since often, only portions of legitimate sites are hacked and reputations can change dynamically over time.
Email reputation technology
Trend Micro's email reputation technology validates IP addresses by checking them against a reputation database of known spam sources and by using a dynamic service that can assess email sender reputation in real time. Reputation ratings are refined through continuous analysis of the IP addresses' "behavior," scope of activity and prior history. Malicious emails are blocked in the cloud based on the sender's IP address, preventing threats such as zombies or botnets from reaching the network or the user's PC.
File reputation technology now joins Web and Email reputation technologies
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network now encompasses in-the-cloud file reputation technology that checks the reputation of each file at the endpoint, server or gateway. The check is done against both a known good list of files and a list of known bad files which today are termed antivirus patterns. High performance content delivery networks and local caching servers ensure minimum latency during the checking process. Since the malware information is stored in the cloud, it is available instantly to all users on the network. And, compared to conventional antivirus pattern file downloads that take up space on the endpoint, this method trims endpoint memory and system consumption.
Correlation technology with behavior analysis
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network uses "correlation technology" with behavior analysis to correlate combinations of activities to determine if they are malicious. A single activity of a Web threat may appear harmless, but when several activities are detected together, they may signal a malicious result. For example, a user may receive an email from a sender whose IP address has not yet been identified as that of a spam sender. The email includes a URL to a legitimate Web site that is not yet listed as malicious in a Web reputation database. By clicking on the URL, the user is, without knowledge, redirected to a malicious Web site hosting "information stealers" that are downloaded and installed on the user's computer, gathering private information for criminal purposes. By correlating the different components of a threat and continuously updating its threat databases, Trend Micro has the distinct advantage of being able to respond in real time, providing immediate and automatic protection from email and Web threats.
Feedback loops contribute to "Neighborhood Watch" system of protection
Another component of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network is the integrated feedback loops that provide continuous communication between Trend Micro products as well as the company's 24/7 threat research centers and technologies in a two-way update stream. Each new threat identified via a single customer's routine reputation check, for example, automatically updates all of Trend Micro's threat databases around the world, blocking any subsequent customer encounters of a given threat. By continuously processing the threat intelligence gathered through its extensive global network of honeypots, customers and partners, Trend Micro delivers automatic, real-time protection against the latest threats and provides "better together" security, much like an automated neighborhood watch that involves the community in protection of others. Because the threat information gathered is based on the reputation of the communication source, not on the content of the specific communication, the privacy of a customer's personal or business information is always protected.
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network: Roadmap
Trend Micro expects to start integrating its new cloud-client file reputation technology into its portfolio of endpoint security solutions for consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses, as well as enterprises in 2009. The technology will become an integral part of the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network. By introducing fast, real-time security status "look-up" capabilities in the cloud, Trend Micro reduces dependence upon conventional pattern file downloads on the endpoint, as well as the cost and overhead associated with corporate-wide pattern deployments.

Published on Jul 1, 2014 1:20 PM
Out with the 2.4km run and the standing broad jump. These are the top two stations that servicemen want axed from the Individual Physical Proficiency Test, or IPPT.
About four in ten (41 per cent) who voted in a poll by the straitstimes.com picked the 2.4km run as the station they want removed from the test, a photo finish with the standing broad jump (38 per cent).
Chin-ups finished some distance behind, garnering only about 16 per cent of the votes. More than 10,000 voters had taken part in the poll as of Tuesday morning. The poll was put up on Monday.
The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) said yesterday that it is finalising changes to simplify the IPPT and will likely include scrapping some test stations.
The aim is to make the IPPT "simpler to administer and simpler to train for," said Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen.
Dr Ng, however, did not disclose the changes, adding that they will be announced by army chief Perry Lim "within the next few months".
Today's IPPT has five stations: the chin-up, standing broad-jump, 4x10 shuttle, sit-up and 2.4km run.
The Straits Times reported last October that likely IPPT changes could include axing the standing broad jump and adding push-ups as a test.

Chuck Burgi (born August 15, 1952) is an American drummer and session musician. He is the second and current drummer for The Billy Joel Band. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, he has performed with many rock bands and musicians, ranging from local New Jersey/New York-area artists to international groups, throughout his prolific career.
After having performed on several album sessions, Burgi experienced early mainstream success with his band, Balance in the early 1980s. This group also featured Peppy Castro, Bob Kulick, Dennis Feldman and noted arranger and keyboardist Doug Katsaros. The group scored a top-25 hit on the U.S. singles chart with "Breaking Away" in 1981. Although the song was recorded before Burgi joined the group, he had joined in time to record Balance's follow-up album, In for the Count.
Burgi has played and toured with Al Di Meola, Hall and Oates, Joe Lynn Turner, Brand X, Rainbow (twice), Blue Öyster Cult,[1] Meat Loaf, Fandango and Enrique Iglesias and has recorded with numerous other artists, including Michael Bolton, Glen Burtnik, Bon Jovi and Diana Ross.
Burgi was a member of the on-stage band in the Twyla Tharp - Billy Joel hit musical Movin' Out during the entire 3½ year run on Broadway.
Recent recordings include Billy Joel's live CD 12 Gardens Live and the 2007 Joel-penned single, "Christmas in Fallujah", exclusive to iTunes. Since November 2005, Chuck has been Joel's drummer, touring extensively, including 12 record breaking shows at New York's Madison Square Garden in 2006, 2008's double night "Last Play at Shea" and the October 2008 New York Springsteen/Joel benefit for Barack Obama at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
He is the brother of actor Richard Burgi.
Chuck Burgi endorses Tama drums, racks, pedals & hardware, Paiste cymbals, Remo drumheads and Pro-Mark drumsticks. He also incorporates Tama octobans and a gong drum into his drum kit. Previously, he endorsed Pearl drums, pedals & hardware. Burgi has been a Paiste endorser since 1977, implying that he may have previously used Zildjian cymbals prior to hooking up with Paiste, which he has played ever since.

SV Spirit of the Pacific
The sailingyacht "SV Spirit of the Pacific" might be a great place for you to take a cruise on a small boat around the Fiji-islands and other areas of the Southern Pacific. Read more about this great ship in my link below ! I was lucky to see this great sailingyacht from a short distance when approaching Port Denarau by our tenderboat.
- Water Sports
- Sailing and Boating
- Cruise
The Awesome Catamaran
The Awesome Adventure-catamaran is another ship that can be taken on a regular basis to hop from one Fiji-island to another one, see more details below in my link !
This giant catamaran is able to transport more than 400 passangers at the same time and such a catamaran will also be able to sail much faster than an ordinary tenderboat. This is why it was chatered by the Princess Cruiseline in order to take home a lot of passangers in the late afternoon
the beach hop-on hop-off bus
Around of Port Denerau you will find various hotels with great beaches and this hop-on hop-off bus will take you to all of them on a regular basis. I payed something like 6 US Dollars for a dayticket, so that was not really expensive and they start from the port every 20 minutes or so, especially when large cruiseships like ours are there with 1700 passangers and lots of crew-members searching for transport to the beaches.
You will sit on long benches in a bus without windows - so the fresh air is coming from all sides and you will have a perfect view into all directions !
These buses run from 07.30am till 11.30pm
- Backpacking
- Family Travel
- Cruise
I got here on a cruise on the Dawn Princess
I came to Port Denerau onboard of the cruiseship Dawn Princess, a giant cruiseship with a capacity of more than 1900 passangers and about 1000 crewmembers and like almost any other big ship we had to anchor off the island and get in by tenderboats.
That has to be done in many islands, BUT here in Port Denerau the tenderboats will need about 40 minutes one way in order to take you ashore, so this is something you have to calculate carefully before you leave the ship and take the tender.

- Seniors
Driving is easy
The easiest way to get around the island for sightseeing is to rent a car. Driving is on the left hand side of the road. The main roads are sealed and easy to navigate. Most of the car agencies have a stall at the airport.
We got very lucky beacuse during the storm a tree fell within a few inches of the one that we had rented.
- Road Trip
Fiji Air Pacific
Nadi International Airport is 9 km north of Nadi town. We arrived there from Los Angeles aboard Fiji Air Pacific.
We were very impressed with this airlines. The seats were very comfy even in coach. I would fly with them again if I ever got the chance.
- Romantic Travel and Honeymoons
Local Taxis are Cheap
If you don't mind the style and comfort in which you travel, flag down a local taxi. They wouldnt pass muster in New Zealand but do get you from A to B cheaply. For example if you book a taxi to go from the Sheraton to Nadi it will cost you $10 but if you flag down a local taxi from just outside the hotel it will cost you about 50c per person.
The Bula Bus
The Bula Bus is free. It goes from resort to resort on Denarau Island and to the Denarau Port. There are about three of them (maybe more) sometimes they come around quick and other times you have to wait a while for the Bula Bus. The main thing is that it is free. But if you have to get somewhere on time like to the port for an excursion you might want to take a taxi. Its quicker.
Rent a car
We actually had to rent a mini van. We tried to rent through the tour desk at our resort but they didnt have a car big enough for all of us. In our room we had a phone book and I found a car for the day. We didnt have anything planned for this day so we decided to rent a car and drive around to see what we can get into.
It was about $100Fijian to rent the minivan. It was an older car that drainned the gas if you put the AC on so we drove with the windows down.
At first it was tricky driving in Fiji because they drive on the opposite side of the roads than we do and the steering wheel is on the opposite side too. It was easy to get used to though, so dont worry.
Nadi Airport
Our arrival was effortless until it became clear that not all of our bags had managed to make the trip with us! Fortunately, the lady at the lost baggage desk was very friendly and told us that we could get reimbursed for things we had to buy as a result of our lost bags!
Our departure was a disaster. A few days before our flight, the airline called our home phone to tell us that our departure was going to be delayed a number of hours. Of course, we were already in Fiji, so it wasn't until we showed up on the day that we learned about the delay. This wouldn't have been so bad if the airport hadn't also been having trouble with their power which meant no air conditioning, no coffee, no internet - not even very much light! Let's just say it was an adventure!!
Nadi Taxis
Given that we were only in Nadi overnight, we didn't really research many transportation options. Instead, we just hopped in a cab that was waiting in front of our hotel. Getting back was equally easy. There were plenty of cabs in town just waiting to give us a ride.
This worked out pretty well for us. Just remember to ask about the fare in advance and be firm about where you do (and do not) want to be taken. Of course, this is sound advice anywhere!
By bus fom the Airport to Nadi and Suva
Pacific Transport and some other companies have frequent buses from the airport to Nadi ($ 1.85) and via Coral Coast to Suva ($ 16). Last bus at 18.30.

Wii U
Sadly, I'm pretty sure this will be Nintendo's last console. WARNING: Long topic
Ya know, I love the DS. I never liked the wii, and my roommates just got the wii u, and I don't care for it either. But this is NINTENDO. They own video gaming. Simple as that.
Sometimes posts from the internets of other realities push through the membrane into ours.
This one clearly comes form some universe where the WiiU didn't sell out almost instantly.
im 23. I'll be 24 Dec 5th. I grew up on SNES and N64. How could you want Nintendo to die if you are around my age or older???? Im assuming most of the trolls on this board are significantly younger than me.

TC's forgetting about the rumors of Sony and Microsoft's plans for next gen consoles and DRM. Both of them are rumored to block used games and require an online connection. Microsoft's also got a patent to use the Kinect to monitor users and as a camera and monitor users as a form of DRM. If these turn out to be true, I wouldn't be surprised if people decided they had enough of that crap and buy a Wii U over a PS3 or Xbox 360.
Nah, we'll still hear about how awesome it is to have superior tech compared to the Wii U from their fanboys. Just like how Xbots will continue to deny how much Microsoft rips everyone off with Xbox Live.
A lot of the "problems" with the Wii U are just manufactured. Wii U does have some flaws, but nothing on the level that's being pushed by the anti-Nintendo brigade. Don't be shocked when those hypocrites start acting innocent once E3 comes rolling around.

ITT the op tries to explain how being a gamer for 25 years makes him an expert on marketing and business strategy.
Anyone who claims to be a hardcore Nintendo fanboy that's owned all Nintendo systems, would never write a "Nintendo will fail" topic. I don't like when someone uses a disability they probably don't even have as a shield from being called a troll for posting the exact same things the trolls have been posting for the longest. smh
People are cynical for good reason.
TC has ass burgers
It's laughable when someone think that Nintendo would go down easily. Even though I'm a PS3 player, I could see Nintendo will be the last man standing in this business if there was a sudden financial crisis in the gaming industry. I also would say Xbox will probably go down first since their BS 1984 plan will be passed.

If you think that the DRM is a decision that's being made strictly by Microsoft and Sony, you're incredibly misinformed.
Believe it or not, the DRM issue isn't coming from piracy (though that is a small part of it), it's coming from the retail game stores and their continued refusal to work with developers and publishers on the sales of used games. If, and it's almost a certain if, Gamestop, Bestbuy, and your other retail sellers continue selling used games without letting the developers and publishers see a dime of it, it's not just going to become a "Well only Microsoft and Sony are going to push the DRM" thing. Every developer will.
Microsoft and Sony might fire the bullet in the next generation, but they're doing it not out of greed, but out of necessity. When you have companies like Gamestop offering to buy back your games for $30, so that they can turn around and sell them for $50, do you really think the average gamer and consumer is NOT going to take advantage of that? They don't know, or care, about the fact the developers aren't making any money that way, and therein lies the exact problem with all of this.
Consumer ignorance, like yours, is what leads to DRM. If you want to avoid DRM from future consoles, games, and developers, than you need to help spread the word about used game sales, what they do to the game companies, and not support them by simply not buying used if you know that the money you spend on the used title isn't going to go to the developer.
But of course, you, and many others, will simply take this at face value, and say "Well Nintendo will NEVER do that! Never!" But that of course is wrong, and Nintendo will eventually jump into the ship as their third party developers do. If they don't, than the Third Parties will stop developing on the WiiU knowing full well that their games will be resold used, and they won't get any profit from them.
DRM is a vicious cycle, but it's brought about more often than not by consumer ignorance and retail sellers. Piracy isn't the biggest issue when it comes to DRM, ESPECIALLY Console DRM.
Each person might see a rose with a different shade of red, but the fact that we can all agree on is beauty -- that is a miracle.

The 3DS was overpriced for something that was essentially just an enhanced DS. Well the same thing is going on now. The U is an enhanced Wii, something everyone and their mother already owns, so although its far to early to tell, its entirely possible that the U may not do all that well. We'll see.
Here it is again! The 3DS and U are enhanced DS and Wii. Someone explain why the 360, PS3, and Vita are not just enhanced Xbox, PS2, and PSP. This argument doesn't make sense!

I got my first tattoo when I turned 40.
Yes, it was one of those "I'm not old, so there" acts. The tat is – you'll be shocked – a dog.
But no specific dog. It's a Jack Russell terrier with a halo (something most Jack owners probably would laugh uproariously at), a cute design from a T-shirt that I decided I could handle having on my shoulder for life.
I have another dog on my back. This one is specific.
Jitterbug's face lives on my other shoulder, and while the Jack is decidedly generic, my little girl is anything but.
I have had and loved many, many dogs in my life. But none – with apologies to Fly, Taylor, Griffin, Stitch and all the others – has had as big an impact on me as this little dog.
I adopted Jitterbug in October 2005, less than a month after I returned from volunteering in Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Something inside me needed to save another dog, to make one safe.
I had spent most of my time in Louisiana working with emaciated, heartworm-ridden, scarred, pit bulls that probably were ex-fighters. I felt so sorry for them, but I loved every minute of working with these dogs: giving them the opportunity to get out of their cages, if only for five or 10 minutes; helping keep them clean; feeding and watering them.
So the subconscious part of me that wanted to save another dog was seeing big, sad-sack dogs like those poor pitties in the South.
And yet …
The emails I got from the then-Orange County Animal Care Center had this little blond dog at the top. She was cute; a Pekingese mix, the shelter said. "Broken back, probably hit by a car," the email read.
I did not want a small dog. And yet that face drew me in. Why?
She looked a little like my chow mix, Fly. But that wasn't it. Finally I gave up trying to figure it out and went to the shelter to see her. One hint of aggression, I figured, and I would say no. Because I didn't want a small dog.
But the small dog obviously wanted me. She smiled (literally). She wagged her tail. She told me in no uncertain terms that I would not be unhappy if I decided to take her home with me.
So I did.

Over the next two months, more than five million foreigners will come to Canada on their summer vacation. For the rest of the summer, theNational Post presents this series on the revolutionaries, luminaries and criminals who have taken time out from shaping world events to pay us a visit — and how that visit shaped them. Today, how a Toronto rock concert killed the Beatles:
It is unlikely that the artist intended drawing the popular fictional wizard after including the word 'Imagine' and a peace sign underneath the dubious portrait. A charitable Matt McFarlane said the image resembled 'a young John Lennon', although another user suggested Harry Potter would be able to 'magic all the spots away'.
A host of stars have had images of their houses blurred on the online mapping service. The popular feature allows internet users to view street-level photographs across the country. Ex-Beatle McCartney's London home is blurred on the 3D map – although his street can be seen.
Director Richard Lester said he was given a strict deadline and low budget when making The Beatles' first film A Hard Day's Night, because the film's producers didn't think the band's popularity would last.
Back by popular demand John Waters and Stewart D'Arrietta are going back to basics with their two-man concert, Looking Through A Glass Onion. Waters says the concert shows there is more than meets the eye when it comes to the ins and outs of John Lennon and the Beatles.
"I mean, we were in a movie, man. We were making a movie!" Starr recalls to Billboard. "Four guys from Liverpool making a movie — it was so great. I loved it, and as you can tell, I loved it because the next movie [Help!] was sort of based around me, based around the ring and Kaili.
TAKE a trip back in time to the rock 'n' roll days of the Merseybeat era on this weekend break to the home of the Beatles. You will visit the homes and schools of the iconic band, discover the places that inspired two of their most memorable songs, and explore the sounds and sights of vibrant Liverpool.
When the film A Hard Day's Night premiered in London on July 6, 1964, it wasn't the first time that its stars — the Beatles — saw the film, but it was definitely better than that earliest viewing. The movie is best remembered for its opening sequence of crazed fans chasing the Fab Four through the streets, but its stars also recall that seeing their own faces on the big screen wasn't exactly a comfortable experience.
The former Liverpool home of Beatle George Harrison is set to be sold at auction. The house, 25 Upton Green in Speke, was home to George during the early stages ofBeatlemania – and is believed to have been a popular hang-out for the band during their formative years.

Comment: Economics (Score 4, Interesting) 148
Could someone fill me in on the economics of nuclear power generation? I'd like to know what the usual payback period for a plant is, and how much it costs to operate a plant over that period.
Just doing some napkin figuring here, if the plant ran 24/7 at full capacity for a 20 year payback period, and assuming that operational costs are about the same as initial construction costs (i.e. using the $10 billion number from the summary, so $20 billion for construction and operation), that gives me a figure of about 5.7 cents per kilowatt-hour. Obviously the plant wouldn't run at full capacity for 20 years straight, but that does put something of a lower bound on the price of power generation, and it seems like a reasonable number given US electricity prices.
I'd also like to know how this compares to hydro, gas, coal, solar, wind, tidal, and any other generation method currently in use.
