Spam carrying embedded images designed to evade filters doubles
The amount of spam carrying embedded images designed to evade filters has doubled over the past three months, security experts have warned.
This Article Covers
Risk management
The amount of spam carrying embedded images designed to evade filters has doubled over the past three months, security experts have warned.
Messaging security firm CipherTrust warned that at peak times, the devious image-based spam accounted for more than 30% of all spam messages.
The increase has come as spammers have developed new tools that can generate completely randomised images and deploy them in spam at speeds of up to one million an hour.

Overall, malicious message volumes have been rising sharply, with a 20% spike in global mail volumes last month, CipherTrust said.
The security firm also warned that the number of "zombies" – compromised PCs used to pump out spam, viruses and phishing frauds – was continuing to increase, with the number of newly created zombies shooting up by 20% in May alone, the last major spike in numbers.
CipherTrust chief technology officer Paul Judge said: "Over the last four years, the people responsible for spam have continued to use aggressive, and frankly ingenious, techniques to make their messages blend with legitimate e-mail.
"It is a high-stakes, high-profit business, and they continue to invest heavily in attempts to get messages delivered to users in the face of increasingly effective anti-spam systems. The growing use of zombies and image-based spammers are examples of these initiatives."

New PSP game from Kojima team
US consumer games website GameSpot.com has just revealed that a new PSP game is in the works at Hideo Kojima's Konami studio. The highly respected designer, the mastermind behind the Metal Gear Solid series, revealed in his blog that he and five other team members had been discussing a new PSP title in a meeting, and that the project is currently in the planning phase of development. The studio's last outing on the Playstation Portable was Metal Gear Acid 2, and like that game the new title will be created under the direction of Shinta Nojiri. No word on Kojima's direct involvement on the project then, especially while the new MGS for the PS3 is being completed, but the designer's expertise will inevitably be drawn upon.
"It seems alright as a project plan," Kojima explains. "The issue is, it will feature a completely new system, so we need to learn if it'll be accepted. We'll have to make a prototype and have it play-tested. It'll play with a system that's different from traditional games. That'll be its selling point. Will it be accepted, or will it be rejected? We're going to see how it goes."
Exciting chatter indeed. More on Kojima's ever-inventive thoughts as we get it.

Shulamit Ran
Shulamit Ran (Hebrew: שולמית רן; born October 21, 1949 in Tel Aviv, Israel) is an Israeli-American composer. She moved from Israel to New York at 14, as a scholarship student at the Mannes College of Music. Her Symphony (1990) won her the Pulitzer Prize for Music.[1][2][3] In this regard, she was the second woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music, the first being Ellen Taaffe Zwilich in 1983. She has performed as a pianist in Israel, Europe and the U.S., and her compositional works have been performed worldwide by a wide array of orchestras and chamber groups.
Early life[edit]
Born in Israel in 1949, Shulamit Ran began composing songs to Hebrew poetry at the age of seven. By the age of nine, she was studying composition with some of Israel's top composers, most notably Alexander Boskovich and Paul Ben-Haim. As a child, Jewish cantoral music played on the radio by her father had a huge impact on Ran. This is apparent in her opera Between Two Worlds-The Dybbuk.
She was able to continue her composition studies into her adult years with scholarships from Mannes College of Music in New York and the American Israel Cultural Foundation. In addition to piano, she studied composition with Norman Dello Joio and Ralph Shapey. While in the United States, studied piano with Nadia Reisenberg and Dorothy Taubman. During her time in the US, Shapey and composer Elliott Carter helped shape Ran's compositional voice, which was constantly changing.
As a leader[edit]
After studying with Shapey, he invited Ran to follow in his path of music education. In 1973, at the age of 26, Shulamit Ran joined the faculty at University of Chicago, where she currently serves as the Andrew MacLeish Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Music and as artistic director of Contempo (formerly the Contemporary Chamber Players).[1][4] Ran retired from her position at the University of Chicago in June 2015.[5] She also became a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
About her works[edit]
Shulamit Ran's piece "Legends" was commissioned for the centennials of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and University of Chicago.
Performed by[edit]
Shulamit Ran's works have been performed by many of the world's leading orchestras, including the New York Philharmonic, Israel Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Cleveland Orchestra, the Jerusalem Orchestra, l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Amsterdam Philharmonic, the Baltimore Symphony, the National Symphony, the Orchestra of St. Lukes, and the American Composers Orchestra.
Ran's works have also been performed by Contemporary Chamber Players of the University of Chicago, Da Capo Chamber Players, Dolce Suono Ensemble, the New York New Music Ensemble, the Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, Twentieth Century Consort, Monday Evenin Concerts in Los Angeles, Callisto Ensemble, both Collage and Musica Viva in Boston, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's MusicNOW, the Pennsylvania Contemporary Players, the Mendelssohn String Quartet,the Lark Quartet the Penderecki Quartet, the Cassatt Quartet, the Peabody Trio, Musical Elements, San Francisco Contemporary Music Players, and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
Her music has been performed worldwide, in such places as the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, on "Music Today" in New York, and at the Tanglewood, Aspen, Santa Fe, and Yellow Barn summer festivals.

Although it does not have nearly the track record of violent crime that Miami has, there ARE incidents in the Ft Myers area. Mainly, it is a mecca for property crimes. Car thefts
are rampant in ALL parts of the metro. Even in broad daylight, it is a good idea to have
a "club," or some sort of security device to gaurd against car thieves. My wife's car was stolen from our "very good" neighborhood 2 times and broken into 2 times during a two-year period.
Gators are a problem at times. There was a recent death of a 20 year-old girl who unfortunately decided to swim in a pond. Gators are often difficult to spot along a shoreline or in the water, but they share this
area with humans. DO NOT allow small children to "wander" along shorelines
unsupervised. Also, it is a good idea to keep pets in close proximity. Many dogs who have been allowed to "sniff" around the shoreline
have ended up as lunch. ONE NOTE: If you spot an alligator that has wandered into someplace it should not, call the DNR. Killing a gator yourself is a serious crime
in Florida as (oddly enough) they are a protected species.
Traffic in the summer is usually pretty decent when it comes to getting anyplace you wish to go. However, during "season." as locals call it, the same drives over the causeways
to Sanibel and Ft. Myers Beach become tediously slow creeping drives that can be over an hour and a half (no exaggeration).
Also, there are a lot of older people who
are (sorry but it IS true) really too senile to even be NEAR a car, let alone driving one.
They will do some of the strangest things when it comes to driving so beware. This is a great area, but it has its share of downsides.
Traffic very difficult on US 41 at peak hours.
During Peak hours even on the off season US Route 41 also known as
Cleveland avenue and South Tamiami trail which goes through The city of Fort Myers and South to Bonita Springs could be very difficult. The problems I have seen are first of all many tourists dont know where they going so they make quick turns without out signals. Also i seen many illegal Ut-urns that almost were accidents on this roadway. Speeding and people driving like complete idiots is also a common theme on this roadway. Traffic Lights at peak hours take up to Five Minutes so when you go somewhere leave earlier.

Love it. Being a man sure doesn't include blowing holes in six year olds, or rationalizing some one else doing it for Second Amendment 'Freedoms.'
Tigger is a member of the death party — guns before children, every time. Thank goodness he and the NRA leadership are in a tiny, tiny, and increasingly ineffective majority. (Over 99% of the NRA's money in the last election was wasted on losing causes.)
I just read through the detail of the "executive orders." Lots of suggestions made, a few database sharing orders, a to do list "appoint an ATF" leader, more research, but nothing that is at all earth shattering or restrictive. As usual, Obama shifted all that to congress, where it is already looking marginal in it's chances of passing, at best. There are so many democrats from gun owner states coming up for re-election in 2014 that much of the liberal element won't support it.
Of course as much as many would like to dump on the NRA, they have a large group of liberal congress people on their "A" list on gun control issues (meaning they don't support it). Add to that the debt debate is going to be shortly consuming congress again so real gun control legislation isn't looking too good. It's a shame because one very important element that would make an immediate change in availability of firearms period is the gun show element. We at least need to have registration and background checks apply on that level. Oh well, just another hot topic to get kicked down the road until the next crises gets everyone fired up again.
The facts of those 23 EOs proposed are pretty intelligent ways to address the issues. But "certain" Americans, and especially the NRA leadership, wants no part of "intelligence".
It might if Congress hadn't obeyed the NRA and crippled the ATF's ability to ENFORCE those laws.
It is all going to go to the Supreme Court and likely after the new judges are appointed.
Gun people, be very afraid.
BTW: Those "thousands" of laws, actually boil down to a number in double, maybe at most triple, digits,because they're just "repeats" of the same laws in other jurisdictions.
All those suggestions from Obama also btw, are NOT Executive Orders, just recommendations for CONGRESS to pass LAW.
It's so horrible to live in a country of bleeding hearts where you can't just lock people up without cause. Oh, how I wish we had true freedom to lock people up!!

Our work of mercy for October is
the spiritual work of mercy
"To Instruct the Ignorant/Uninformed."
The Christmas Banquet was a wonderful event, and Holy Trinity and Twelve Apostles generously provided over 1000 personal items for inmates gift bags. Perhaps more importantly, we made sure that each of the children of the inmates, regardless of their age, had a wonderful gift from their Dad to open that day.
Gina Hanna of Beauty for Ashes Ministry prepared a short video to share special moments at the banquet with us. She said, "I hope this video captures the impact that you and your parishes had on these men and their families. It was such a blessing to partner with you this year."

I Get By With A Little Help...
Colleague Support in Schools
- Bill Rogers - Independent Educational Consultant, Victoria, Australia
Health & Wellness | Mentoring | Schoolwide Discipline & Bully Prevention
Bill Rogers argues that colleague support can affect wellbeing, professional esteem and professional coping. He asks the questions:
'What makes colleague support effective and why?'
'Who initiates support and how?'
'How does such support affect personal coping and the ability to manage the day to day grind of teaching?'
'How does colleague support affect longer term issues such as professional feedback, appraisal of teaching, curriculum planning, lesson planning, as well as ongoing concerns such as classroom discipline and behaviour management?'
'How does colleague support affect the impact and management of change?'
Bill Rogers is an education consultant, author, lecturer and Adjunct Professor of Education at Griffith University (Queensland, Australia). He lectures widely and regularly across Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Happy autumn
Updated studio chalkboard wall. The acronyms stand for books underway. (Mysterious me!)
First day of school. First official day back in the studio after a very full summer.
Time for everything to begin anew.
Bad Princess garden cocooning
As you can probably tell by my radio silence, I'm deep into my creative cocoon with Bad Princess. I've a June deadline, and a ton of loose threads to weave together. (Research, writing, design, and drawing, oh my!)
I'm pleased with how the book is coming together, but I'm at the stage where the only way out is through. In the meantime, I leave you these beauties from the Blue House garden.
I've been watching them emerge from the winter soil over the past few weeks.
Just as I will once this book is off to my publisher.
The things authors do for fiction
Every new year brings new intentions and new goals. Mine for 2016 involves piano lessons. Though I've taken plenty of music lessons in the past—thus far I've learned to play the flute, guitar, saxophone, and the cello—my reasons for finally turning to the piano aren't my usual "I love music" or "I want to play the Bach cello suites by the time I'm thirty." Instead, my reasons are book-related: a character in my Next Novel is a pianist. Research, you know.
Right now, there's a bright and shiny keyboard in my parlor. (My family has been yearning for a piano for some time.) Our music stand features a variety of beginning instruction books. I've even found a conveniently located teacher who offers lessons on Saturdays. I'm excited to begin! Yet this has got me wondering about the skills writers learn for their work. I mean, we all know writers can't thrive in a vacuum. To hone their craft, they take courses, participate in workshops, and join critique groups. But what about the stuff that's not quite so … literary?
So I asked. And I found. What follows are four fascinating accounts of The Things Authors Do For Fiction.
From Kirsty Stonell Walker, author of We Are Villains All:
"About half an hour after deciding to make a character in We Are Villains All a Victorian photographer I realised I didn't have the first clue about the process. After watching a video or two on YouTube I could see how it was done, but it was unsatisfying. How did the glass feel as you tilted it, how did it feel to be in the dark creating these pictures, how did it smell? I needed to know in order to understand Brough Fawley, my fictional photographer of the 1860s. Taking a course at the home of Julia Margaret Cameron meant so much because I was learning the craft in the home of my heroine, literally walking in her footsteps as I hurried back and forth with the plates, focusing the lens, urging my subjects not to move. That sort of photography takes skill, nerve and confidence bordering on arrogance, all of which fed into Brough, making him the talented rogue he is in the book."
(KW: I must confess to perusing many of those same Victorian photography videos for the Next Novel, which features a Victorian dagueorrotypist. The ones produced by the George Eastman House are especially wonderful. That said, there's no substitute for personal experience. Brava, Kirsty!)
From Erika Robuck, author of the national bestseller Hemingway's Girl:
"Ernest Hemingway valued writing from true experience for the purest, most authentic stories. I apply this practice to my work as much as possible, and it has led me to places and activities I never would have dreamt. Inhabiting the lives of my subjects—real or imagined—is a bit like method acting, and the results on the page are more realized characters and richer settings. From a private tour of a hospital morgue to a poet's haunted estate, from lessons shooting a shotgun to deep water fishing, I have learned over and over again that taking on these experiences allows me to become not only a better writer, but a more empathetic and well-rounded person. I can't wait to see where my next project will lead."
From Donna Russo Morin, author of the The King's Agent, which received a starred review from Publisher's Weekly:
"I confess, the research process of developing a historical novel is often times my favorite part. I love to immerse myself in the culture, the people, and the times I endeavor to recapture. I lose myself for hours, jumping feet first into old diaries, memoirs, biographies, and books older than the country I live in. But I always felt that to truly capture the experience of my characters, I must, in some way, experience what they did. With this notion in mind, I have found myself engaging in what some might say are irregular forms of research.
"For my first book, The Courtier's Secret, I learned to fence in order to experience the muscular exertions of a woman doing so. I learned the art of glass blowing for my second book, The Secret of the Glass; when I described what it felt like to stand just a few feet away from a furnace giving off heat at approximately 2000 degrees, it was the beads of my own sweat I described. My hands on research for my third book, To Serve a King, about a female assassin in the court of Francois I, brought into my hands a bow and an arrow. This particular research so enchanted me, that I now own my own bow and arrow and shoot targets regularly. (Of course, putting a picture of my horrific ex on the target may have something to do with my precision with this weapon). For The King's Agent, a story based on the true life of a 16th century Indiana Jones, I learned to dagger fight. My research for my Da Vinci's Disciples series (book one, Portrait of a Conspiracy, releasing May 10, 2016) found not a weapon, but a brush in my hands. In order to understand the joy of creating and working with paint, I took painting lessons. Unfortunately, I'm far more adept with my bow and arrow, than I am with my brush.
"I adore the research portion of being an historical novelist, and one might say that it has made me not only greater informed and educated, but a little bit dangerous."
(A little bit dangerous? I love that! But for sheer mouth-watering delectability, I'll let Kate Quinn have the last word.)
From Kate Quinn, author of the national bestseller The Serpent and the Pearl:
"For my Borgia duology The Serpent and the Pearl and The Lion and the Rose, I ended up learning a LOT about Renaissance cuisine. My heroine was a cook, not just a maker of stews for her family but a dyed-in-the-wool professional who fed the vast palazzo where Pope Alexander VI regularly took dinner with his mistress and children. I not only perused Renaissance cookbooks – why did the chefs back then put cinnamon into everything? – but I cooked dishes out of them, like the walnut and pecorino cheese tourte (above photo) that turns up in Chapter 17 of The Lion and the Rose. Supposedly the recipe dates from the days of Pope Pius II, and it yielded a gorgeous mild cheesecake of the type that could grace any holiday buffet – the perfect dessert for that pesky relative who doesn't have a sweet tooth.
"Some lessons learned from my sojourn into Renaissance cooking:
"1. You don't really need a timer. If you need to boil an egg, you boil it for the length of time it takes to say the Credo, and voila. Although spouses look at you a little strangely when they walk into the kitchen and find you mumbling "Credo in unum deum" over a pot of boiling water.
"2. Electric mixers are a wonderful thing. When the recipe begins with "Beat twelve egg whites into stiff peaks," your only hope if you live in the Renaissance was having a kitchen full of young apprentices to pass the bowl to. And if they were beating egg whites into stiff peaks all day, they must have had arms like gods.
"3. Why DID the Renaissance cooks put cinnamon in everything?"
(Why did they indeed? I wonder if cinnamon was the Renaissance equivalent of our twenty-first century fixation with pumpkin-spice-everything. Hmmm….)
So there you have it: four novelists and their adventures in authorly veracity. I must admit that their ambitious pursuits make my piano lessons seem rather tame by comparison. However, their accounts reveal something I truly believe: writing a book transforms an author in unexpected ways. Sometimes it enables us to boil eggs perfectly without a timer. Other times, it helps us hunt an ex like a veritable sixteenth-century Katniss Everdeen.
Many thanks to Kirsty, Erika, Donna, and Kate for sharing their inspiring experiences today! I hope you'll take a moment to visit their sites to learn more about their wonderful books.

Metapost: An Ending ~ and a Beginning for *It*
Photographed recently in my kitchen via the Tintype app. Yes, that is champagne.
When I get like this, I can't do anything but it. And by it, I mean focus completely and beyond on the project at hand. Which, in this case, the it was completing my next draft for the Next Novel. Hence, my silence here save for the occasional photograph here and there.
But at last it is done and off to my beta readers for feedback.
*takes deepest breath possible*
And now back to real life. What does this mean? For starters, sleep and showering and eating regularly. The niceties. Not being distracted while in conversation because of my mind racing at 90 mph with plot points and character arcs. Taking time to stretch out and not panic at all the things I need to do.
Yet—and yes, there's a yet—I will miss the all encompassing intensity of being so immersed in the world of it. Of that feeling of clear focus and deep creativity. Though I understand this is only a temporary respite until the next it comes along.
In the meantime, site housekeeping stuff: I've rearranged some blog categories and posts to make them extra accessible and relevant. With nearly 800 posts on this blog, it was time. In particular, there's now a new-and-improved Publishing 101 category filled with advice geared to new authors and illustrators. Subjects include everything from literary agents, book proposals, submitting to publishers, the publication process, and more.
Though some of the posts are several years old, they've been updated for relevancy. If you're new to the biz, I hope you'll find them useful!

It Isaiah 32 miles distant from the sea and 18 from the Jordan, 20 from Hebron and 36 from Samaria. "In several respects," says Dean Stanley, "its situation is singular among the cities of Palestine. Its elevation is remarkable; occasioned not from its being on the summit of one of the numerous hills of Judea, like most of the towns and villages, but because it is on the edge of one of the highest table-lands of the country. Hebron indeed is higher still by some hundred feet, and from the south, accordingly (even from Bethlehem), the approach to Jerusalem is by a slight descent. But from any other side the ascent is perpetual; and to the traveller approaching the city from the east or west it must always have presented the appearance beyond any other capital of the then known world --we may say beyond any important city that has ever existed on the earth --of a mountain city; breathing, as compared with the sultry plains of Jordan, a mountain air; enthroned, as compared with jericho or Damascus, Gaza or Tyre, on a mountain fastness." --S. & P. 170,

Monica Ladd
Owner, Fantasy Attic Costume
Although it's her passion now, Monica Ladd wasn't always enthralled with the costume business.
Her husband, a lawyer, had a client who owned Lucky Costumes above Lucky Drugs at Liberty and Main streets in downtown Ann Arbor. When the owner retired in 1985, Ladd's husband bought the costume shop for her.
"My husband thought it would be the perfect job for me," Ladd said. "I already had a job. I came into the business kicking and screaming. I grew into it, though."
Ladd, who has master's degrees in history and textiles, thought her education - coupled with her love of theater - indeed made the costume business a great fit.
Now, 23 years later, she's preparing to sell her company at the end of the year to longtime employee Bill Brennan. Ladd, 68, said she's looking forward to spending more time with her grandchildren and teaching piano lessons.
|My Business: Fantasy Attic Costume
• Year business started: 1985.
• Business: Masquerade and theatrical costume rentals and sales.
• Best business success: "Keeping a small business like ours afloat for 24 years, 12 months per year."
• Effects of the slow economy: "People are being more cautious with purchases."
• Why I do this: "I get a kick out of helping people assume a 'fun' alter ego."
• Little-known business fact: "We're one of the top purveyors of Ben Nye makeup in the U.S."
• If I wasn't doing this, I would be: "Teaching school or playing piano in a posh lounge."
• Advice for aspiring entrepreneurs: "Be prepared to give 110 percent."
• Residence: Ann Arbor.
• Family: Married to Charles; three grown children and two grandsons.
• Background: Master's degree in history from the University of Michigan; master's degree in clothing and textiles from Eastern Michigan University; former teacher.
• Contact: 3010 Packard Road, Ann Arbor; 734-973-8000.

Most of the free agents put their names on contracts months ago.
The signings were made with great expectations. Teams that were either trying to climb the ladder or maintain their position added big names. (In the case of the Phoenix Coyotes, they held on to a very important free agent.)
With the lockout lifted, it's now time for these free agents to turn potential into production.
They may have been welcomed with open arms, but the pressure to produce and perform in clutch situations will be significant.
Here are eight free agents who must perform right away.

I guess I'll be getting New Leaf. Gonna give Animal Crossing another go, I heard they changed more stuff this time around.
I'm sure there're a few adventure games that can compare to it's breathtaking scale, but never will they successfully mimic the OST, art style, or such perfect execution of gaming art.
Ya should get your hands on it 'fore it becomes expensive or somethin'. If it weren't for the PS3 re-release (... there was one, yeah?) the fact SotC didn't sell as many copies as it should'a would've skyrocketed the PS2 version's price by now. Don't let what happened t' me and Path of Radiance happen to you... ;_;

Managers who don't TDD be unemployable before 2012

I'm a marketing guy, so, like many marketing guys, I'm not so much a numbers person. I know I should be, but, there you have it.
All business owners could benefit by much better tracking and measuring of the numbers. Knowing things like how many leads you generate, how many leads you convert, and the average $ amount each customer produces is a minimum starting point for those who want to measure the results of their marketing.
You've probably heard this many times before, because it's a fact – what gets measured, gets improved.
To me, the real magic in number crunching (that's for my accounting readers) is when you start to understand, measure and focus on what's called the life time value (LTV) of a customer to your business. In simple terms LTV is what a new customer is worth for the entire time they remain a customers. If they buy $10 per month for 5 years that customer is worth $600 LTV.
This number gets really interesting when you marry it with actual marketing costs or what it costs your business to acquire a new customer. Know this stuff and you can start to understand just how much you can and should spend to get a new client (most people don't spend near enough.)
But, the reason I really love LTV is that by understanding and focusing on ways to increase LTV through increased offerings, special programs, and strategic partnerships you put all your focus on the most profitable form of business.
Once you have a benchmark for LTV, the game is to find ways to consistently raise the number. When you can do that you will find that you can also confidently and dramatically increase your marketing budget with almost guaranteed returns – now that's music to a marketing guy's ears.

Invisible Manhattanhenge
They say it's best to observe the 'henge from as far East as you can get on a wide street that has a clear shot through to the Hudson river. I don't really relish standing in the middle of such a street to get a shot, so I chose 72nd street at Central Park West, where I could stand just inside the park and get a clear shot down 72nd at least to Riverside Park.
