Reseña del editor
The first book to reveal and dissect the technical aspect of many social engineering maneuvers From elicitation, pretexting, influence and manipulation all aspects of social engineering are picked apart, discussed and explained by using real world examples, personal experience and the science behind them to unraveled the mystery in social engineering. Kevin Mitnick one of the most famous social engineers in the world popularized the term social engineering. He explained that it is much easier to trick someone into revealing a password for a system than to exert the effort of hacking into the system. Mitnick claims that this social engineering tactic was the single-most effective method in his arsenal. This indispensable book examines a variety of maneuvers that are aimed at deceiving unsuspecting victims, while it also addresses ways to prevent social engineering threats. * Examines social engineering, the science of influencing a target to perform a desired task or divulge information * Arms you with invaluable information about the many methods of trickery that hackers use in order to gather information with the intent of executing identity theft, fraud, or gaining computer system access * Reveals vital steps for preventing social engineering threats Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking does its part to prepare you against nefarious hackers now you can do your part by putting to good use the critical information within its pages.
"Chris Hadnagy has penned the ultimate text on social engineering. Meticulously researched and teeming with practical applications, this brilliant book offers solutions to very real problems and ever-present dangers to your business -- and even to yourself. Truly groundbreaking."
--Kevin Hogan, author of The Science of Influence: How to Get Anyone to Say "Yes" in 8 Minutes or Less

There was no book like this book before dealing with Social Engineering. At best SE has been mentioned in a book about security and only a couple pages were dedicated to it. But nowadays SE is becoming more and more important to keep in mind. The times when attackers and pentesters could exploit weaknesses in applications and services without the need of user interaction are mostly over. Usually the user has to open a malicious file for example a PDF file. This book explains how this can be achieved and also what to keep in mind when preparing an awareness training.
Reading this book will teach you how SE attacks are being performed, the background and underlying principles of them as well how to detect and mitigate them.
Chris explains everything in a very good and understandable way giving a lot of examples and infos on where to start with further research on the explained techniques (e.g. NLP, microexpressions...).
It is definately a must have.
While deciding whether to buy this book or not, I joked with a friend that the fact that the first 28 people who reviewed it gave it 5 stars, was ITSELF an act of social engineering. I am not so sure that is a joke anymore. I've been buying books on Amazon for 12 some years now, and I don't think I've seen a book get that many fanatically raving reviews right off the bat. Looking back again at all those reviews, I guess perhaps if you know absolutely nothing at all about email scams and personal security, and happen to also be a CEO, then this book would be worth reading.
The foreword and first 10 pages talk about what will be in the book. This is a common format, but that's an awful lot of pages wasted on material that is literally repeated again later in the book. And then up front we see material on The Nigerian Scam. If you are a security professional or a CEO, or anyone really - and have fallen prey to this or don't know what it is, seriously, you've got bigger problems to deal with.
Perhaps that example is the crux of the matter - who exactly is the audience meant to be? The author really uses just one example, over and over, of him stalking a CEO at a bar. He learns a few things about the CEOs current life, including that he will be on vacation next week. The thief goes to the CEOs office when he knows he's gone, pretends he mixed up the date for an interview but wants to leave his resume for when the CEO returns. He hands the secretary a zip drive which has his document, which then also downloads malware onto the company's servers. Okay. While this is a valuable lesson on zip drives, do we need 50 pages of text to prove the point? And rather than focus on the inherent dangers of executable files (from media or emails/websites), the moral of this story focused on not ever talking to anyone in a bar. The author also spends most of the book on how to use SE (or basic thievery) against someone without any real solutions to the problems. For example, Chapter 7 talks about how to pick different kinds of locks - which has nothing to do with social engineering and I am not sure how someone uses that knowledge to protect them. Or how Doritos and FedEx hid symbols in their logos - this is SE sure, but what exactly will I do with this information?
Pages 55 to 100 are all about communicating. Unless you never learned in high school or freshman college that every message needs a sender and a receiver - you can skip this part of the book. If you want an exorbitant amount of detail on how people can intentionally act angry or surprised or sad, or can emphasize certain words all to elicit different responses from people - you can skip to page 181. Again, who is the audience here? Some parts of this chapter talk about how Homeland Security agents are trained to use these "tricks" to interrogate people. How many normal people are faced with dumpster diving, stalking, psychologically trained thieves trying to steal information from your company? And if you ARE faced with these problems -your needs are way beyond the scope of this book.
There are some good parts, like the section on microexpressions. The information on how people create their passwords was okay, though you can get those statistics almost anywhere. The search engine tools were interesting, though again that stuff is not social engineering and most computer savvy people likely know this material. The book was well edited, grammar and formatting, which is why I gave it the 2 stars.
Overall the three things I took from this book are: 1) shred your trash so dumpster divers can't find sensitive information; 2) don't use company email for non-business matters because SE's can use that information to create enticing emails with malware hidden in them; and 3) every time you put information onto anything - Facebook, hobby sites, fan clubs, even Amazon - there are many software packages out there that SE's can use to collect all that information and make profiles to use against you.
With that, Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking is a fascinating and engrossing book on an important topic. The author takes the reader on a vast journey of the many aspects of social engineering. Since social engineering is such a people oriented topic, a large part of the book is dedicated to sociological and psychological topics. This is an important area, as far too many technology books focus on the hardware and software elements, completely ignoring the people element. The social engineer can then use that gap to their advantage.
By the time that you start chapter 2 on page 23, it is abundantly clear that the author knows what he is talking about. This is in stark contrast with How To Become The Worlds No. 1 Hacker, where that author uses plagiarism to try to weave a tale of being the world's greatest security expert. Here, Hadnagy uses his real knowledge and experience to take the reader on a long and engaging ride on the subject. Coming in at 9 chapters and 360 pages, the author brings an encyclopedic knowledge and dishes it out in every chapter.
Two of the most popular books to date on social engineering to date have been Kevin Mitnick's The Art of Deception: Controlling the Human Element of Security and The Art of Intrusion: The Real Stories Behind the Exploits of Hackers, Intruders and Deceivers. The difference between those books and Hadnagy, is that Mitnick for the most part details the events and stories around the attacks; while Hadnagy details the myriad specifics on how to carry out the social engineering attack.
The book digs deep and details how the social engineer needs to use a formal context for the attack, and breaks down the specific details and line-items on how to execute on that. That approach is much more suited to performing social engineering, than simply reading about social engineering.
Chapter 1 goes though the necessary introduction to the topic, with chapter 2 detailing the various aspects of information gathering. Once I started reading, it was hard to put the book down.
Social engineering is often misportrayed as the art of asking a question or two and then gaining root access. In chapter 3 on elicitation, the author details the reality of the requirements on how to carefully and cautiously elicit information from the target. Elicitation is not something for the social engineer alone, even the US Department of Homeland Security has a pamphlet that is uses to assist agents with elicitation.
After elicitation, chapter 4 details the art of pretexting, which is when an attacker creates an invented scenario to use to extract information from the victim.
Chapter 5 on mind tricks starts getting into the psychological element of social engineering. The author details topics such as micro expressions, modes of thinking, interrogation, neuro-linguistic programming and more.
Chapter 6 is on influence and the power of persuasion. The author notes that people are trained from a young age in nearly every culture to listen to and respect authority. When the social engineer takes on that role, it becomes a most powerful tool; far more powerful than any script or piece of software.
The author wisely waits until chapter 7 to discuss software tools used during a social engineering engagement. One of the author's favorite and most powerful tools is Maltego, which is an open source intelligence and forensics application. While the author concludes that it is the human element that is the most powerful, and that a great tool in the hand of a novice is worthless; the other side is that good tools (of which the author lists many), in the hands of an experienced social engineer, is an extremely powerful and often overwhelming combination.
Every chapter in the book is superb, but chapter 9 - Prevention and Mitigation stands out. After spending 338 pages about how to use social engineering; chapter 9 details the steps a firm must put in place to ensure they do not become a victim of a social engineering attack. The chapter lists the following six steps that must be executed upon:
* Learning to identify social engineering attacks
* Creating a personal security awareness program
* Creating awareness of the value of the information that is being sought by social engineers
* Keeping software updated
* Developing scripts
* Learning from social engineering audits
The author astutely notes that security awareness is not about 45- or 90-minute programs that only occur annually; rather it is about creating a culture and set of information security standards that each person in the organization is committed to using their entire life. This is definitely not a small undertaking. Firms must create awareness and security engineering programs to deal with the above six items. If they do not, they are them placing themselves at significant risk of being unable to effectively deal with social network attacks.
As to awareness, if nothing else, Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking demonstrates the importance of ensuring that social engineering is an integral part of an information security awareness program. This can't be underemphasized as even the definitive book on security awareness Managing an Information Security and Privacy Awareness and Training Program only has about 10 pages on social engineering attacks.
There are plenty of security books on hardware, software, certification and more. Those were perhaps the easy ones to write. Until now, very few have dealt with the human element, and the costs associated with ignoring that have been devastating. Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking is a book that is a long time in coming, but worth every page.
While seemingly geared to the information security staff, this is a book should be read by everyone, whether they are in technology or not. Social engineering is not something that just occurs behind a keyboard. Social attackers know that. It is about time everyone else did also.
Humans are and always will be the weakest security link. PERIOD. Up to now, there hasn't been a comprehensive book on (1) how to orchestrate a Social Engineering campaign; (2) how to prevent a Social Engineer from breaching your defenses; and (3) psychological principals of how humans think and operate. This book has all three. It includes the details necessary to fully understand critical concepts for Social Engineering such as pretexting, elicitation, and influence, which provides a great framework on how to manipulate humans to take the actions you want. I've found that many computer security professionals aren't fluent in human factors. By reading this book, they will glean that knowledge.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE, Chris also includes case studies to see the principles in action. These studies from Chris' experience as a professional Social Engineer round out this outstanding book.
Security professionals: If you read only one book in 2011, make it Social Engineering: The Art of Human Hacking by Chris Hadnagy.
I, as well as most of my friends, come from the information security space. Within the insular information security community, perspectives don't always match the real world. People get worked up over minutia that in the real world has very little impact. Because of that, the credibility of much information security advice is often taken with a grain of salt by the general public.
This is something that we were well aware of when starting social-engineer.org, and a trap that we have tried to avoid falling into. This philosophy of real world, practical, explanations of social engineering risks and the proper defense against them has followed through to the Social Engineering book. This makes a big difference in the actual suitability of this title in having more then a passing impact on most people's lives.
This is exemplified by the wide range of people that I have seen read, understand, and enjoy this title. From my son, still at an age where he finds girls "icky", who after reading the book gives me suggestions on how better to correct him (Dad, you have to complement me, then give me suggestions in what to improve, then complement something else so that way I feel positive about the exchange) to my Grandmother who while she won't read the book cover to cover flips through it and chuckles at the examples that directly relate to her life. From the marketing major who finds examples of subtle ways of influencing others into having a positive view on their products to the small business owner that wants to protect her business against threats and finds steps that can be put in place today to better protect her business.
This is not just a book for those of us in the information security space, this is a book for everyone that interacts with modern society.
I am glad to see this book find an audience beyond the information security space, as that is where it can have the most benefit. My suggestion is, after reading this book don't just put it on the shelf with your titles on python programming and firewall configurations. Pass it on to your husband or wife, son or daughter, parent or grandparent, friend or co-worker. Give it to someone that would not normally read a book about how to configure their desktop file permissions to best mitigate the chances of a malware attack.
This is the security book for the general public. That is where it will have the most impact.

ACCRA, Ghana (AP) -Ghana's squad for the 2013 African Cup of Nations will set up camp in the United Arab Emirates to prepare for the tournament in South Africa.
The Ghana Football Association said on Wednesday that the squad will be in Abu Dhabi from Jan. 7-16 before its first game at the African Cup on Jan. 20. Ghana striker and captain Asamoah Gyan plays for UAE club Al Ain.
"The UAE camping venue is also a good place for us to host friendly matches before the competition, which is also key for our preparation," GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi said.
Ghana has lined up a friendly against African Cup qualifier Cape Verde in Portugal next week to kick off its buildup.
Coach Kwesi Appiah this week picked teenage Inter Milan midfielder Joseph Duncan in his squad of 21 for the game against Atlantic island country Cape Verde, which will make its African Cup debut in January.
Ghana finished fourth after losing to eventual champion Zambia in the semifinals at the 2010 African Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea. The team has lost two semifinals and a final in the past three African Cups and won the last of its four titles in 1982.
In South Africa, Ghana is grouped with Mali - which it also faced in the group stage and the third-place match last time - as well as Congo and Niger.

Background and Design:
Studies published have suggested a possibility that regular use of sunscreen to prevent skin cancer may put the population, particularly elderly people, at risk of vitamin D deficiency. We aimed to determine whether regular use of sunscreens in the normal adult population, as recommended by public health authorities for the prevention of skin cancer, may put individuals at risk of vitamin D deficiency. A randomized double-blind control trial of the daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen (sun protection factor [SPF] 17) vs placebo cream over a summer period in Australia was conducted in 113 people aged 40 years and over, with sampling stratified by age. All participants had at least one solar keratosis. Serum samples taken at the beginning and at the end of the study were analyzed for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3.
Mean levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 rose significantly by the same amount in both groups over the period of the study (placebo, +12.8 mmol/L; sunscreen, + 11.8 mmol/L). Mean levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 increased significantly in the pla- cebo group only (placebo, +10.8 pmol/L; sunscreen, +1.3 pmol/L), but for no subject in either group was the level of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 outside the reference range either at the start or at the end of the study. There were no significant differences by age, sex, and skin type in the change in 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 over the study period.
No person, including those aged 70 years and over, developed any vitamin D levels outside the normal reference range during the period of the study. The data suggest that over an Australian summer sufficient sunlight is received, probably through both the sunscreen itself and the lack of total skin cover at all times, to allow adequate vitamin D production in people who are recommended to use sunscreens regularly. More work is required to elucidate the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, particularly during the different seasons of the year.(Arch Dermatol. 1995;131:415-421)

Remaining Bieber video
at issue in Fla. hearing
A South Florida judge could decide whether to allow the release of the remaining police video of Justin Bieber depicting the singer urinating into a cup for a drug test.
Miami-Dade County Judge William Altfield set a hearing Tuesday afternoon after reviewing the five video clips. Lawyers for Bieber, who turned 20 on Saturday, are attempting to block the video's release as an invasion of privacy.
Attorneys for the Associated Press and other news outlets say Florida law requires release of the video and that any sensitive portions can be blacked out.
Bieber has pleaded not guilty to charges of driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving with an expired license following his Jan. 23 arrest. Police video released last week showed Bieber walking unsteadily during sobriety tests.

Kerry visits granddaughter on way to Ukraine
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has taken a quick time out for some baby talk as he heads overseas to deliver a strong diplomatic message of U.S. support for Ukraine's government against a Russian military incursion.
Officially, the late-night stop in New York was to refuel Kerry's plane before flying to Kiev, where he was scheduled to meet with Ukrainian leaders on Tuesday afternoon. But America's top diplomat used the downtime to visit his new granddaughter, who was born Monday morning at a New York hospital. It's Kerry's fifth grandchild, and she was born to his daughter, Alexandra, who is a film director and producer.
Toronto mayor laughs off Kimmel's idea to get help
Embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford laughed off Jimmy Kimmel's suggestion that he get help for his drinking problem and was reported to be upset about his appearance on the late-night TV talk show.
Ford's appearance Monday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in Los Angeles was the culmination of months of wooing by the talk-show host to get Ford to appear as a guest.
Ford tossed T-shirts to the audience to loud applause as he came onstage after Kimmel introduced him by saying, "Our first guest tonight has tripped, bumped, danced, argued and smoked his way into our national consciousness."
Kimmel told Ford that if he's an alcoholic, and drinking enough that he would try crack cocaine in his 40s, "and you don't remember it, maybe that's something that you might want to think about, like talking to somebody."
Ford tossed back his head and laughed before saying he "wasn't elected to be perfect."

- An Analysis of the Incremental Information Gain in Combining Economic, Socio-Political, and Joint-Decision Characterizations in a Study of Accounting Choice: the Case of SFAS 106
- Typical accounting studies attempting to explain accounting method choice employ positive theoretical hypotheses and test for association between adoption method or adoption timing and economic measures that focus upon specific firm stakeholders. Such studies addressing the adoption and impact of SFAS 87, "Employer's Accounting for Pensions," yield mixed and contradicting results. Various researchers have suggested that traditional economic analysis often fails to capture important explanatory variables and is far too simplistic. The purpose of this study is to expand analysis by evaluating a particular accounting choice by means of three different characterizations. SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions," allows management to choose between two very different methods of adopting the standard. The principal question explored in this study is: why did managers of firms that employ defined benefit postretirement plans for benefits other than pensions choose to adopt SFAS 106 using a particular method? The research question is explored by means of three different characterizations: 1) a traditional economic characterization; 2) a sociopolitical characterization); and 3) a joint decision characterization. Logit methodology is used with method of SFAS 106 adoption as the binary dependent variable of interest. Results indicate that all three characterizations are important in understanding the SFAS 106 adoption method choice. Further, each characterization adds separate information toward comprehension of the choice, supporting the notion of the complexity of accounting choice issues. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278270/
- The Changing Role and Responsibilities of Audit Committees in the United States
- The corporate form that developed in the early 20th century created enormous pressure for corporate governance mechanisms to curb the power of corporate managers. Berle and Means, legal pluralists, warned about concentrating economic power in the hands of a small but powerful class of professional managers. They claimed this "new form of absolutism" required governmental oversight and viewed boards of directors as part of management, rather than monitors for shareholders. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed that corporations establish a special board committee, made up of "nonofficer members" in response to the McKesson & Robbins scandal of the late 1930s. My dissertation examines the evolution of the U.S. corporate audit committee through three specific time periods: (1) 1920-1954; (2) 1955-1986; and (3) 1987 to the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. My purpose is to determine if evolution of the audit committee throughout these periods has been a reform continually couched in symbolism or whether the audit committee concept has evolved into real reform, allowing proper corporate governance and mitigation of unchecked corporate power. My analysis is a traditional empirical analysis, relying on both primary and secondary sources to develop a coherent ordering of facts. I use narrative in a narrow sense as my historical methodology, examining patterns that emerge and interpreting facts to develop a clear understanding of demands for and uses of audit committees. I use a holistic approach in studying the data, using narrative to show how these patterns ensue from the historical data. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc30519/
- A Comparison of Cognitive Moral Development of Accounting Students at a Catholic University with Secular University Accounting Students
- Previous research has shown that accountants may be inadequate moral reasoners. Concern over this trend caused the Treadway Commission (1987) and the Accounting Education Change Commission (1990) to call for greater integration of ethics into the student's training. Ponemon and Glazer (1990) found a difference in cognitive moral development (CMD) between accounting students at a public university and a private university with a liberal arts emphasis. This study expands Ponemon and Glazer's research by examining two liberal arts universities, one a private, secular institution and one a Catholic institution. The primary research question asks if Catholic university accounting students manifest greater CMD growth than secular university accounting students. Additionally, this study examines and compares the priority that accounting students from the different institutions place on ethical values versus economic values. It was expected that Catholic university accounting students would manifest both greater CMD growth and a greater concern for ethical values over economic values when compared with non-Catholic university accounting students. The study utilized a two-phase approach. In the first phase, an organizational study of two institutions was made to determine how each strives to integrate moral development into their accounting students' education. In the second phase, lower-division and senior accounting students were given three ethical and values related tasks to complete which propose to measure differences in ethical and economic values. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc278021/
- Environmental Determinants and Choice of Project Evaluation Techniques in US and UK Firms
- The purpose of this dissertation is to develop a theory that helps explain the conditions under which firms select certain project evaluation techniques. This study uses contingency theory to analyze the impact of environmental uncertainty on the choice of project evaluation techniques. In addition to a direct measure of uncertainty, several dimensions of uncertainty are included in this study. These dimensions of uncertainty include control structure, method of financing, foreign assets, method of growth, and product domination. This study also analyzes the use of project evaluation, management science and risk management techniques in US firms over time and in UK firms over time in order to compare to prior research. A comparison of firms in the two countries are also provided. The primary method of data collection was a survey instrument. Data were also collected from annual reports and various other public sources. The variables that appear significant in the choice of project evaluation technique in US firms are environmental uncertainty, control structure, method of financing, foreign assets, and product domination. The variable that appear significant in the choice of project evaluation technique in UK firms is method of financing. US firms favor discounted cash flow techniques although this study detected a slight decrease over time. UK firms continue to use non-discounted cash flow techniques, although the use of discounted cash flow techniques is widespread. There are significant differences between US and UK firms. US firms tend to use discounted cash flow techniques to a greater extent than UK firms. This research makes a significant contribution in attempting to develop a theory explaining the use of project evaluation techniques in firms in the US and UK. In addition, several other developments relating to project evaluation, management science and risk management are discussed.

- Examination of the Effects of Experience and Missing Information on Tax Preparer Judgment
- This research examines how experience and missing information affect judgments of tax return preparers. Tax return preparers may often be faced with the problem of incomplete information, and their responses to this problem may be conditioned by whether or not they recognize information is missing. Based on the Holland et al.'s cognitive theory of induction as applied to tax judgment by Marchant et al., it was hypothesized that experienced tax preparers would correctly classify more items as to their relevance to a specific tax issue than novice tax preparers. Additionally, it was hypothesized that the strength of recommendations of tax preparers who had no relevant information missing would be greater than the strength of recommendations of tax preparers who had relevant information missing and were prompted that information was missing. Lastly, it was hypothesized that prompting that relevant information was missing would have a greater effect on the strength of recommendations of tax return preparers with lesser specific experience than it would on the strength of recommendations of tax return preparers with greater specific experience. The results suggest that experienced tax preparers do recognize the relevance of information to a greater degree than novice tax preparers. There was no significant difference, however, in the strengths of recommendation of tax preparers who had no missing information and those who were prompted that information was missing. There was a significant difference in the strengths of recommendations of tax preparers with lesser specific experience who had been prompted that relevant information was missing and those who had not been prompted that relevant information was missing. Among tax preparers with greater specific experience, however, there was no significant difference between the two groups. These results suggest that tax preparers with greater specific experience recognized that relevant information was missing without being prompted, while tax return preparers with lesser specific experience did not. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279220/
- An Exploratory Investigation of Socio-Economic Phenomena that May Influence Accounting Differences in Three Diverse Countries
- This dissertation attempts to provide an exploratory structure to respond to, and tries to resolve, an existing void in international accounting research. The void is a lack of coherently structured, nation-specific, descriptive research to investigate socio-economic phenomena which may influence financial accounting. This dissertation's salient features include a political economy theory, an exploratory, sociological method, and a case study format. The political economy of accounting, introduced by Tinker [1980] and refined by Cooper and Sherer [1984], emphasizes a persuasive social relations dimension. This theory motivates selection of three countries (the United States, France, and Japan) that appear to have divergent socio-cultural environments. An exploratory and analytical approach of modified (enlarged) exogenism, developed by Smith [1973, 1976] and adapted to accounting by McKinnon [1986], provides an analytic structure for this exploratory investigation. Modified exogenism focuses upon an open, dynamic social system (the process of financial accounting), and provides analysis reflecting four major areas (the environment, intrusive events, intra-system activity, and trans-system activity). After examining the nation-specific financial accounting (socio-economic) structures for each country, an analysis of selected financial disclosures attempts to gain a better understanding of how socio-economic factors have influenced the development of financial accounting. My primary objective is to attempt to provide some insight about ,how diverse socio-political factors have impacted the development of financial accounting in three countries. Library research of nation-specific literature attempts to extract a relatively accurate picture of social, political, and economic institutions and policies, and relates such findings to financial accounting processes for each nation. This dissertation attempts to provide a necessary foundation for future theoretical international accounting harmonization studies. digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc331531/

The normal physiologic processes of the body are greatly altered during pregnancy and lactation, and additional demands are imposed on the maternal organism during each period. Digestion and absorption from the intestinal tract are frequently impaired, especially during the early months of pregnancy, and nutritional requirements are considerably elevated during the latter half of pregnancy and during lactation. It is not strange, therefore, that evidences of nutritional deficiencies are more likely to appear at these times, and it is obvious that the diets of pregnant and lactating women deserve special consideration. Since considerable evidence has accumulated in recent years which indicates that faulty nutrition during pregnancy may affect the pregnant woman or her fetus in ways not usually considered to be signs of malnutrition, someof the studies from which this evidence has come will be reviewed. They provide a background for understanding the special requirements of this period and the

Skip to comments.Flickr Removes Obama-as-Joker Photo
Posted on 08/19/2009 9:42:10 AM PDT by pissant
It's rarely a good PR move when a social Web site decides to remove a politically-charged image--the InterWebs get angry. One such case came to light today: A Photoshop mockup of President Obama as the Joker from The Dark Knight, superimposed on the cover of Time magazine, has been removed from Flickr. The 20-year-old Chicagoan who made the photo got an email from Flickr, which is owned by Yahoo!, saying the it had been removed due to copyright concerns. Plenty of tech pundits are saying Flickr was strong-armed by Time, Inc., which didn't like its brand associated with something so subversive. Others are saying that Flickr removed the image voluntarily because it was the subject of too much public controversy: the image has been mocked up into a poster by an anonymous third-party and plastered around Los Angeles. Pretty much everyone agrees, however, that the issue isn't copyright. (Below, the derivative poster.)
(Excerpt) Read more at fastcompany.com ...
Flickr removed the image voluntarily because it was the subject of too much public controversy
Translation: We don't like anyone to mock our messiah
I actually saw a couple of these plastered to a telephone pole in my community a couple days ago!
The base image is photoshopped from a TIME magazine copyrighted image. They have no choice.
I wonder how many Bush-Nazi photos were removed from this site?
Agreed. All those Bush=Hitler/chimp/etc. photos are considered free speech and, as thus, will remain indefinitely.
The genius is the person who captioned it socialism and put them around
LA. Hope it was a freeper!
Not to worry. Pissant and other have many, many more. :)
my advice to those on Flicker,( I am NOT!)...is to contact Yahoo or Flicker and COMPLAIN vigorously!
No worries - there's plenty more on Flickr:
There is something to be said for neutral copyright protection on all sides of any debate, and also for the right of a private business to remove any post for any reason, just as the owner may do here at FR.
Flame away.
Why so serious?
I would imagine that there are well over 300,000 copies around the internet presently. I've got twice over on my blog site. So they can remove as many as they want...it'll just reproduce.
How many Bush/Nazi photos on Flickr? Take a look:
Zazzle is where I got my little stickers.....1 1/2 inchers - suitable for even currency if desired.
Wow. Disgusting double standard. I'm cancelling my account.
'Fair use'?
No flames needed. See post 19. There's many, many more on flickr as well. Such as
The YouTuber that made the mouth and eyes of that image move to a real Obama soundtrack was contacted for copyright too.
I sent him the Obama as Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter image and he was afraid to use it.
If it pisses them off, we're on the right track.
The point is were the same caracitures of Gw Bush held to the same standards.
Akkk you beat me!
Yeah....if TIME pulls the string.
See post 19 and 23. You are correct
Pissant, you're proving our point.
The fact that Flickr hasn't removed anti-Bush TIME covers is consistent with the fact that TIME's legal board is acting (as a bluff, really) to threaten only the anti-Obama uses of their copyright.
If anyone had the time (and money) to fight TIME in court, they could win on this basis of uneven enforcement.
But since the offenders don't want to risk calling the bluff, TIME rolls.
See Post 30, you are wrong! =)
Well yes, I understand Time's leftwing agenda and biases. But Flickr is a big boy, with gazzilions more users than that fading rag.
"The base image is photoshopped from a TIME magazine copyrighted image. They have no choice. "
I'm not so sure about that. Isn't parody exempted?
That's nothing. I had my account deleted and my IP banned from Photo Bucket for having anti-Obama photos in it.
There was nothing profane..just the same gifs and photos we see on FR every day.
Lib sobs.
(456 items) on Flicker
Agreed. But the zero-effort way out is to simply respond to Time, delete a page, move along.
It's like "zero tolerance" policies are just an excuse for principals to not have to make difficult common sense choices.
Isn't parody exempted?
Yes. For original works of Authorship.
If the photoshopper had started from his own Obama image, or even a public Whitehouse image, and even if they'd made it look like a Time cover as a parody, then he'd own the copyright[note].
As a derivative work, though, he has to have approval from the original content.
[note] Keep in mind though, TIME is in the mood to bluff, so they could still threaten them on that, and probably successfully again, even though the parody should win in court.
I had better back mine up.
So what about this one, typical hypocrites?
778 items with the title "Bush Hitler".
After crack that the Son of OBama made about the post office they should issue stamps with the Joker Face as you have presented. No doubt would be a big seller.
It is good to find out now exactly who the communists in this country are.
Yes, but Time isn't the subject of the parody. Lord zero is. Time is being used and portrayed w/o any element of parody applied to them. They are being portrayed as a common news org.
Their failure to uniformly enforce the matter with regard to politics implies they are a political organization, not the "press" org they're claiming to be. Just more evidence that they are first and foremost, a propaganda operation.
Yep... I just placed an order with Zazzle.com as well. ;-)
Time Magazine has had Obama on the cover SEVEN TIMES since the election (not counting Michelle).
[The frequent cover appearances led even Jon Stewart, a Bush-hater who was thrilled by Obama's election, to quip Thursday night on his Comedy Central show: Time magazine is like O magazine, like Obama has to be on the cover — it is like Oprah magazine. I think he's been on like thirty times this year.]
Bump for later...
While I understand your frustration, again, using the example of FR, there are many more anti-Clinton and anti-Obama caricatures here than the reverse. Our job is to win hearts and minds to our cause, not to expect a "Fairness Doctrine" from privately-owned businesses whose point of view is not necessarily supposed to be neutral.
TV news should be neutral or at least balanced, because the airwaves are publicly owned. But image publications such as newspapers, magazines and web sites are usually privately owned. Many small newspapers make no secret of their leanings, calling themselves the "Wazoo County Republican" or the "Yahoo City Times-Democrat", etc.
Time to use photobucket or any other photo sharing site...

Editor's Note: Fiscal Policy and the
Great Recession
A world-wide saving glut developed in the late 1990's as the Asian Crisis caused developing nations to be more conservative and accumulate mostly dollar reserves. Their resulting lack of demand created a positive trade balance and the need to create demand else ware to soak it up. The US did it's part with two unfinanced wars, a tax cut, and private debt expansion.
In the initial months of the stimulus, the net government contribution to GDP growth was positive. As the severe recession impacted government budgets, however, state and local cuts mounted, ultimately offsetting stimulus at the national level. See Chart State and local cuts have very nearly run their course at this point, but the economy now faces the run-off of stimulus programmers, as well as the expiration of emergency unemployment benefits and, potentially, the expiration of lots of other tax proposals. The President's latest plan aims to move the total government impact on growth from a drag of about 1.5 percentage points of GDP to approximately even. When the economy is growing at between 1% and 2% per year, a 1.5 percentage point drag on output is a very big deal indeed.

Also there fried seasoned sweet Corn is really good as well!! Give the Spencer Dream Center some of your business while at the fair and just see the good cause your dollars are going towards!!!

Anything wrapped in bacon has to be fantastic.

you can get a "dirty pig" at the Jaycee's stand. That's chocolate covered bacon, yum!

I wonder what the blue zone people think of the fair food. I love bacon, of course I love bacon, and I also love hotdogs. But I don't think that deep fried bacon hotdogs sound even tasty. I like peanut butter and chinese food too, but not at the same time. I don't know how peanut butter brocoli beef balls deep fried would taste. Probably not good. I love that fairs have the ability to put the most random crap in the fryer, charge $6, and make money hand over fist. That's the american dream at work! Big fan

Making road transport more intelligent
A key contributor to this year's Transport Research Arena (TRA) Conference, the European Commission's Directorate-General for Information Society and Media (DG INFSO) works to develop and deploy applications based on information and communication technologies (ICTs) for the transport sector.
© Peter Gutierrez
ICTs can warn drivers of potentially dangerous situations, take over part of the control over a car, or communicate with emergency services. Research into this kind of technology is conducted under the so-called 'Intelligent Car Initiative'.
Working together on safer roads
The Intelligent Car Initiative works with input from car manufacturers, road operators, telecom companies, road traffic service providers, all of whom meet together within the eSafety Forum, a co-operative body that links the European automotive industry and the Commission.
Established in 2003, the eSafety Forum currently consists of about 200 members, representing all major parties with an interest in road safety. Their objective is to arrive at consensus through the exchange of information and open debate.
eCall to the rescue
An example of how cars can be made more intelligent is the eCall device. After a serious accident, the eCall device automatically calls rescue services and transmits crash site location data, thus significantly cutting rescue services' response time. Calls can also be made manually, at the push of a button.
In addition to the automatic data link, a voice connection is also established between the vehicle and the rescue centre. This way, any car occupant capable of answering questions can provide additional details on the accident.

Research towards smarter, safer and cleaner vehicles
The long-term objective of the Intelligent Car Initiative is smarter, safer and greener road transport. Achieving this requires sustained research efforts. Intelligent Car therefore works to promote co-operative research in Intelligent Vehicle Systems (IVSs) and helps to push forward the uptake and application of real research results.
Under the EU research framework programme, scientific activities are supported in the following areas:
- The next generation of Driver Assistance Systems, aimed at enhancing performance, reliability and security;
- Preventive safety, focusing on technologies for accident avoidance;
- Co-operative systems based on vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication;
- Real time travel and traffic information (RTTI) and intermodal transport;
- Creating a comprehensive, technical and socio-economic programme to assess the impact of IVSs on driver behaviour and driving dynamics, based on large-scale field operational tests.
Bringing results to market
While some IVSs have already been present in cars for quite some time, uptake in other cases remains limited. Electronic Stability Control systems (ESCs), for instance, computerised technologies that improve vehicle safety by detecting and minimising skidding, have been on the market for more than ten years, but they are only installed in a small percentage of all passenger cars, and in ess than half of all new cars. For other IVSs, e.g. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), the numbers are even lower.
Consumer research reveals that low market uptake and penetration
can be explained in large part by the fact that drivers and policy
makers simply don't know about the benefits of these systems,
or how they work. Information dissemination to a wide audience is
therefore an important third field of activity for the Intelligent
Car Initiative.

When the ultra-conservative American broadcaster Glenn Beck arrived in Israel last week, he hoped to convince Israelis to feel closer to Christian Zionists like him. But his plan may just have backfired.
He arrived with hundreds of American Christians in tow, who enthusiastically cheered him as he prayed, cried and spoke of his love for Israel and the folly of everyone to the left of him.

An Amarillo apartment complex fire damaged three residences and caused close to $40,000 in damage.
Firefighters responded to Treepoint Apartments, 4711 S. Virginia St., about 2:20 p.m. and had the fire on the first floor of the building under control in about 20 minutes, according Capt. Bob Johnson of the Amarillo Fire Department. Any fire that was on the upper floors was soon under control after that, Johnson said.
No one was injured in the blaze, Johnson said.
Although it was undetermined at the scene what caused the blaze, Johnson said the fire appeared to have started on the first floor and moved upward.
Fire damaged the exterior and patio of one of the apartment's complex buildings, with the three affected residences all sustaining minor smoke damage, said AFD District Chief Charles Ledford.

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article
Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)
