Ransomware-as-a-Service is a hit with the tech illiterate
Cerber eclipsed Locky as the most common ransomware pathogen doing the rounds in the first three months of 2017.
Cerber's control of the cybercrime market rose from 70 per cent market share in January to 87 per cent in March, according to the latest cybercrime tactics report by Malwarebytes Lab.
The success of Cerber is down to its features (robust encryption, offline encryption etc) combined with the adoption of a Ransomware-as-a-Service business model, whereby the ransomware can be modified or leased. "It's also very easy for non-technical criminals to get their hands on a customised version of the ransomware," Malwarebytes reports.
Malwarebytes' findings follow reports from Microsoft that Cerber was topping its Windows 10 ransomware chart.
By contrast, the Locky ransomware (last year's number one) has dropped off the map, likely due to a switch in tactics by the cybercrooks behind the Necurs spam botnet.continue reading

Oil Companies Pay a Pittance in Penalties to Offshore Drilling Regulator
Last week, as part of our coverage of the massive BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we noted the troubled past of the Minerals Management Service, the agency that regulates offshore oil and gas drilling.
On its website, MMS says that it issues civil penalties for serious safety violations. And there have been violations. A study conducted by the Minerals Management Service found that from 2001 to 2007, offshore drilling accidents resulted in 41 deaths and 302 injuries, according to The Huffington Post.
In an analysis of civil penalties levied by the regulator, we at ProPublica found that over the past 12 years the average penalty has been $45,000. Currently, MMS can fine oil and gas companies a maximum of $35,000 per violation per day (PDF). The biggest fine an oil company has paid to the agency since 1998 was $810,000, paid in 2001 by Chevron. Overall, the Minerals Management Service has collected $20 million in penalties in those 12 years.
That kind of money is unlikely to sting much, considering the profits that major oil companies take in.
The British oil giant BP, for instance, made $5.6 billion in profits in the first quarter of 2010 alone. As we reported last week, far from having a spotless safety record, the company has faced fines from several federal agencies in the last decade: $21 million from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, $50 million from the Environmental Protection Agency, $300 million from the Department of Justice -- just to name a few that the company has paid.
MMS fines against BP have been the equivalent of a rounding error. From 1998 through 2007 -- when MMS issued its last fine against the company -- BP paid less than $580,000 in penalties for its 12 safety violations.
Environmental groups say this simply isn't enough.
"Fines from the MMS are a tiny fraction of the financial profit these companies have made from their dangerous and environmentally devastating oil drilling operations," said Marcie Keever of Friends of the Earth. "When oil companies have been caught violating safety standards, they've been let off the hook with mere slaps on the wrist."
Lawmakers have also begun scrutinizing the safety regulator in connection with the BP oil spill in the Gulf. On Monday, Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, an outspoken critic of offshore drilling, requested an inspector general's investigation into MMS and its rulemaking process, to determine whether the regulator was influenced by industry lobbying.
We've called BP for comment and will update when we get it. We've also reached out to MMS requesting explanation of its penalties. The agency has yet to return our call.
1 comments
This story doesn't surprise me in the least. I heard, today that BP, who earned more than $5 Billion in the last quarter, is asking for "Volunteers" to help it clean up its spill. I also heard a BP spokesperson announce that they intend to recompense fisherman for economic losses. Good luck collecting any of that money; BP won't part with a pence or shilling without some government arm-twisting. And as this story details, their arm-twisting doesn't hurt much.

We STILL rock you: Re-releases chart Queen's rise to power
Queen: The Queen Reissues (Island)
Verdict: Majestic pompRating:
Freddie Mercury once predicted that Queen would be 'the Cecil B. DeMille of rock'. A natural showman, he saw nothing wrong in comparing his over-the-top approach to that of an American film director noted for his flamboyance.
And Queen lived up to Freddie's billing. One of the most successful British groups of all time, they set the benchmark for stadium-rock, stole the show at 1985's Live Aid and gave us such crowd-pleasing anthems as We Are The Champions and Another One Bites The Dust.
Twenty years after Mercury's death, their legacy lives on. Some of the world's biggest acts, from the Foo Fighters to Katy Perry, cite them as a major influence. Lady Gaga named herself after one of their hits, Radio Ga-Ga. The stage musical We Will Rock You continues its West End run.
Influential: The five re-released albums serve as a reminder of Queen as a groundbreaking guitar band
But, before the theatrics took centre-stage, Queen were a different proposition. Next week sees the re-release of the band's first five albums, putting the onus back on Queen as a ground-breaking guitar band who forged their own path between the art-rock of David Bowie and the riffs of Led Zeppelin.
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Queen's formation, the re-issues cover the period from the group's self-titled 1973 debut to 1976's A Day At The Races.
The albums, all available individually, have been re-mastered to include some bonus material.
All four members were accomplished songwriters. All bar bassist John Deacon were also gifted singers, and the contrasting voices of Mercury, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor — usually painstakingly multi-tracked and over-dubbed — added a trademark richness and depth to the music.
Their early years were astonishingly prolific, with five albums released in a three-year burst. The workload was draining, but it gave the band creative momentum. They were at their rawest on their debut. Recorded in the same studio, and at the same time, as Bowie's Ziggy Stardust (Queen, with a smaller budget, worked the night shift), it was an energetic heavy-rock record that has since been hailed by Foo Fighter Dave Grohl as the best album ever.
With nearly six million sales, Queen's Greatest Hits, released in 1981, is the UK's biggest selling album ever.
It also contained a few subtle hints of what was to come: the vocal interplay was far from run-of-the-mill, while folky numbers like Doing All Right and My Fairy King featured the tempo changes for which Queen would become famous.
Queen II, out the following year, was bolder. Although it remains one of the group's least celebrated releases (May says they 'dished up too much for people to swallow'), it contained the beginnings of Queen as we now remember them.
Flamboyant: Queen's lead singer Freddie Mercury remains a rock legend 20 years after his death
It was a concept LP divided into a 'white' side and a 'black' one. The first featured the elegant ballad White Queen (As It Began), but the darker songs were the best: The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke was quirky progressive-rock, The March Of The Black Queen a forerunner of Bohemian Rhapsody.
Queen fully hit their stride with Sheer Heart Attack, their second album of 1974. May was initially absent with a stomach ulcer, but the band left room for him to come in later.
In doing so, they produced an astonishingly varied clutch of songs.
Killer Queen was a pop master-class, Dear Friends a lovely piano ballad, and Bring Back That Leroy Brown a jazzy piece that featured May on banjo and ukulele. Queen had entered their imperial phase.
A Night At The Opera, although overshadowed by its 11th track, Bohemian Rhapsody, was even better. It contained one of Mercury's greatest love songs, Love Of My Life, alongside whimsical pieces like Seaside Rendezvous. Even Bohemian Rhapsody, its complex harmonies apparently written on the back of a phonebook, was mischievously sequenced between the Dixieland of Good Company and May's eloquent, guitar-led arrangement of the National Anthem.
By the time they made A Day At The Races, Queen had abandoned their early, progressive leanings in favour of polished, radio-friendly pop. But the songs were still strong. Tie Your Mother Down was a stomping rocker. The three-part harmonies of Somebody To Love were overdubbed so many times the band took on the mantle of a gospel choir.
Queen went on to sweep all before them and, while the subsequent albums are to be re-issued later this year (one batch in June, another in September), there is something special about the first five.
In the golden years between 1973 and 1976, Queen were hungry, ambitious and fiercely determined to push the boundaries of rock.
It feels good to remember them this way.
The Queen reissues are out on Monday. A companion album, Deep Cuts Volume One, also out next week, features highlights from the five albums on a single CD.

An aspiring fashion designer has won the chance to have one of her knitwear creations sold in Harvey Nichols after winning a wool contest.
Tegan Kersey from Branston's jumper design is to be made available in the prestigious department store after finishing first in The Campaign for Wool competition.
Burton Mail reports that the 23-year-old entered the national contest through Brighton University, where she studies textiles design for fashion and first developed her interest in knitwear.
Miss Kersey put forward a design for a Christmas-themed jumper and was picked by leading fashion and textiles experts to be sold at the store from October 15th to coincide with UK Wool Week.
She told the paper: "I decided to enter as I'm really passionate about using traditional natural fibres in my knitwear as opposed to other synthetic fibres which are becoming more widely available."
The student described winning as an "honour", and felt privileged to watch her design grown from the research and development stage to being sold in "one of the world's leading luxury fashion retailers".
"It has been the highlight of my career to date, and something I will never forget," Miss Kersey went on to add, explaining that she was keen to create a fun, stylish and, most importantly, wearable woollen jumper.
The young designer has gained experience in the fashion industry working alongside designers at DKNY in New York and Cast Creations in the UK, and is currently completing a knitwear design internship for Ann Inc New York, before she makes a return to the UK in the new year.
Building up a wide portfolio of experience and entering national competitions is a great way to get noticed in the knitwear industry, whether you want to release a haute couture woollen collection or bring out your own stylish book of knitting and crochet patterns.

Sarah Harmer's story shows true talent will rise, writes Bruce Elder.
There are no rules in popular music. Try this for an implausible tale: Sarah Harmer, daughter of a farmer and a schoolteacher, started her musical life with an Ontario college band, Weeping Tile, which released three albums before disappearing without trace.
Harmer then went solo, recorded her own album You Were Here, pressed 1000 copies to sell at the low-level gigs she was playing, and, as she explains: "One copy ended up in Philadelphia and it started getting played on radio."
This led to a recording contract with Zoe Records, a subsidiary of the US folk/roots label, Rounder Records. This debut album elicited rave reviews from Time, Rolling Stone and Billboard, with Time declaring it "the year's best debut".
These accolades were not hyperbole. Harmer's style is diverse (a mixture of country, folk, rock and lots of quirkiness to take it well away from the predictable mainstream) and her lyrics are thoughtful, intimate and intelligent. Her singing is fresh and disarming. She connects effortlessly with her audience.
OK, so this is a dream story which demonstrates that, regardless of all the dross which sullies the pop and rock waters, genuinely good material does, sometimes, float to the surface. But then, by pure serendipity, Harmer comes to Australia to visit her parents.
"My mum and dad were wintering in Coolangatta. They like to avoid the Canadian winters and they have spent the last three or four winters in Australia. I went to visit them and combined it with a show in Melbourne and one in Sydney."
The result: she played the Hopetoun in Sydney in February 2002, the word got out that she was something special, and the place was packed. There were people queuing to get in.
And now she is returning to consolidate from a base of two concerts almost accidentally delivered because her parents see Coolangatta as a desirable alternative to an Ontario winter.
Since her last visit, Harmer has released her second album, All of Our Names, which, again, is a collection of intimate songs about everyday life. This time the focus is very firmly on her rural home in Kingston, Ontario. It is a place she obviously loves not only because it inspires her but because, when we talk, she eulogises it in simple, rustic terms.
"I am sitting in my house at the moment," she says with easy enthusiasm in her voice.
"The weather is nice. It's the end of a beautiful day. I've been outside most of the day with a scythe. The garden is a bit of a jungle but there are lots of blooms and birds. I have just got home from tour. I'm just outside Kingston in Ontario."
She has just come off lengthy North American and European tours with her five-piece band and is taking a very short break before heading to Australia accompanied only by her keyboard player, Julie McDonald.
Harmer is part of a Canadian phenomenon which has seen a seemingly endless parade of hugely talented, and often quirky, Canadian female singers enjoy huge international success. Think only of Joni Mitchell, Jane Siberry, k.d. lang, Alanis Morissette.
She admits that proximity to the US is probably the key factor, pointing out: "I think we're in a beneficial place. We can do our thing and develop our singing and songwriting and be close enough to larger markets. I think we can also observe and being an observer is very important for singer-songwriters.
"Canada gives us space to get comfortable and develop our sense of ourselves. And it is not too far to get to some bigger audiences."
Interestingly, she does not see her Canadian female peers as primary influences on her songwriting, preferring to nod towards "early REM, the Replacements, Neil Young. Lots of guy-college types of bands. I enjoyed buying all the records."
Sarah Harmer performs tonight at the Annandale Hotel, 17 Parramatta Road, Annandale.

Mothers who kill
Mothers who kill - it's unthinkable, but mothers do kill their own children. Mothers who kill are shocking and devastating to read about.
There is nothing more disturbing than the story of a mother who harms her own child.
Such acts are so unfathomable and so unnatural that even hearing about mothers who kill causes the stomach to drop and the skin to prickle in a way that other 'bad news' stories do not.
I don't have children yet, but if I see a kid trip in the park, or a little one lost in a supermarket, my natural reaction is to protect this tiny human. I feel an intense responsibility for making sure they're OK, even if their parents are close by.
It's a primal, without-thinking kind of thing, this urge to protect the small and helpless.
Of course, when it's your own child this instinct to protect is overwhelming in its intensity. Friends who are mothers speak of a love that makes any other love seem like a primary school fling, and a protectiveness that would see any one of them welcome death before letting anything or anyone hurt their child.
Is this why we find ourselves so baffled by such cases?
Because mothers who kill their kids exist. The unimaginable happens. Worst nightmares come true. The following gallery details eight mums who killed their children in shocking stories that rocked the world. Incidents where the very person who was meant to protect their child turned against them in the most devastating way imaginable.
Mums who kill
Mary Beth Tinning
Mary Beth Tinning, from New York, had eight biological children and one adopted son, all of whom died either in infancy or early childhood. In 1972, after the death of her first child from apparent meningitis, neighbours and friends reported that Mary Beth had become very withdrawn and distant. Over the next 13 years, Mary Beth would lose each child, most after rushing them into the emergency room, declaring that she found them unconscious. While at first doctors believed there could be a genetic reason for so many deaths in the family, when the same thing happened with Mary Beth's adopted son, Michael, suspicions were raised. After a police interrogation, Mary Beth confessed to smothering three of her children. While she retracted this confession before trial, she was convicted of one murder, that of daughter Tami Lynne. The eight remaining deaths have long remained shrouded in suspicion. In terms of motive, police believe that Mary Beth enjoyed the attention she received after each death, although in a recent parole hearing, she reportedly said "there is no reason" why she killed her daughter. She is currently serving a sentence of 20 years to life in the US.

Andrea Yates
The case of Andrea Yates is particularly devastating as it could have been avoided. After suffering from severe postpartum depression and eventually being diagnosed with postpartum psychosis after the birth of her fourth child, Andrea attempted suicide several times. She was prescribed anti-psychotics and put under strict instructions not to have any more children, but conceived again only seven weeks after being discharged from hospital following her last suicide attempt. She stopped taking the anti-psychotic medication and gave birth to a daughter, Mary, in November 2000. The death of her father in early 2001 sent her spiralling back into depression and psychosis, and she stopped feeding her baby. She was again hospitalised, and released by her psychiatrist under strict instructions that she must be supervised at all times. On June 20, 2001, her husband Rusty left for work, leaving Andrea by herself for an hour before her mother was due to arrive to watch her. In that one hour, Andrea drowned all five children in the bathtub. She then called the police and her husband, saying only "It's time. I've done it." She was convicted of Capital Murder, but later had the conviction overturned on appeal and was declared not guilty on the grounds of insanity. She is now incarcerated in a mental hospital in Texas.

Jennifer Berman
Jennifer Berman and her husband Richard were parents to two bright, talented teenagers, Alex and Jacqueline Berman. The couple had recently divorced and this, along with money troubles (her house was under foreclosure) had put an immense amount of pressure on Jennifer in particular. After receiving a series of troubling text messages from Jennifer, Richard became concerned and drove to the house his ex-wife shared with their two children. Sadly, his worst nightmare was realised when the bodies of Jennifer, Alex and Jacqueline were all found inside the house. Jennifer had allegedly shot both children before turning the gun on herself.

Julie Schenecker
In 2011, police were called to the Florida home of Julie and Parker Schenecker after Julie's mother expressed concern that she could not reach her daughter, who had sent her an email saying she was severely depressed. When they arrived they found both children dead, having been shot. Calyx, 16 at the time of her death, was found upstairs in her bedroom. Beau, 13, was allegedly shot in the car on his way home from soccer practice. Police said that Julie confessed to the murders, giving the fact that they "talked back and were mouthy" as a reason for killing them. Her trial is set for April 2014 and Julie's defence team have indicated they will pursue an insanity plea, while the prosecution have said they will seek the death penalty. Source: Wikipedia Image:

Kristi Abrahams
The country looked on in captivated horror as the case of little Kiesha Abrahams unfolded. Reported missing by her mother, Kristi Abrahams, and her stepfather, Robert Smith, in 2010, Kiesha had, according to them, disappeared in the night. A massive search got underway, with Kristi receiving an overwhelming amount of support in the days immediately following the news her daughter was missing. As the weeks went on, however, a different picture began to emerge of the kind of life Kiesha had lived. Neighbours and acquaintances told of bruises on her face, arms and legs, and it was revealed she had only attended four days of school in the previous two school terms. It was also discovered that the family was well-known to DOCS. Police had Kristi and Robert firmly in their sights and eight months later, the pair was arrested after Kristi confessed to an undercover police officer. It unfolded that Kristi had knocked Kiesha unconscious, then panicked and put the child to bed without seeking help. The couple buried Kiesha inside a suitcase in a shallow grave. She is currently serving a 16-year sentence for the murder.
Shirley Jane Turner
In a case that was as unbelievable as it was horrifying, Shirley Jane Turner killed not only her former partner, but two years later, killed their son as well. The case, made infamous through the 2008 documentary film entitled: 'Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father' is a tragic one that could have been partially avoided. In 2001, Shirley Jane and Andrew Bagby were in a relationship that had started to crumble. After breaking up with Shirley and putting her on a plane from Pennsylvania to Iowa, Andrew Bagby failed to turn up to work. It was discovered that Shirley had driven almost 1600km overnight back to Pennsylvania and shot Andrew Bagby five times, killing him. After realising she was a suspect in a murder case, Shirley fled back to her native Canada, where she announced she was pregnant with Bagby's child. A series of legal loopholes and technicalities meant that Shirley remained free in Canada for almost two years, giving birth during this time to a baby boy named Zachary. Bagby's parents relocated to Canada in order to seek custody of Zachary, and to try to have the extradition case against Shirley expedited. After becoming involved in another relationship that ended when the man she was dating became aware of the charges against her, Shirley strapped 13-month-old Zachary to her chest, drugged him (and herself) with anti-anxiety medication and threw them both into the Atlantic Ocean to drown. Andrew Bagby's parents, who had joint custody of Zachary at the time and would have gained full custody upon her conviction, believed it was an unforgivable failure on behalf of the Canadian justice system to have let Shirley not only walk free all these months, but to take care of an infant. As a result the head of Newfoundland's child welfare agency resigned.

Susan Eubanks
After spending the day drinking and taking Valium, Susan Eubanks got into a heated argument with her boyfriend, and locked him out of the house. He called the police and the father of one of Susan's four sons. Her children, all boys, were aged from four to 14. When Susan's boyfriend reported that he had heard her threatening to kill herself and the boys, the father called police, who arrived to find a horrific scene. All four boys had been shot in the head. Three were dead, and her four-year-old son was fighting for life. He was rushed to hospital, where he would later tragically die. Police also found Susan, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the stomach, still alive. She was taken to hospital and survived. Susan was later convicted of killing all four boys. While her defence lawyers asserted she was suffering from a 'blackout' when she committed the murders, the prosecution argued she was acting out of rage towards the boys' fathers, all of whom had left her. She is currently on death row in California.
Diane Downs
In 1983, Diane Downs showed up at a hospital with her three children (Christie, eight, Cheryl, six and Stephen, three) who had all been shot. One, Cheryl, was dead, and the other two were clinging to life. Diane herself had a bullet wound to the forearm. She told doctors and police that they had been involved in an attempted carjacking, and the thief had escaped after shooting her and the children. Police became suspicious because of the seeming lack of emotion she showed after such a traumatic ordeal. Diane had split up from her husband after the birth of Stephen and had been having an affair with Robert Knickerbocker, a married man. The affair had ended after Robert had made it clear he did not want children in his life. Robert reported to police that she had stalked him and seemed willing to kill his wife if it meant she could be with him. Forensic evidence, coupled with evidence given by Christie (who, along with Stephen, survived the attack) resulted in Diane being convicted. Her motive for attempting to murder all three children was that she thought it would mean she could have Robert.

I've seen thinking about BB10 and how can it disrupt, I think WE ALL agree that Camera on BB10 must be EXCELLENT. It must be at least as good as iPhone 4S/5, if not as good as Lumia 920 (which is #1 now).
To achieve that, and more to attract customers, I think they should just partner with a big player, like Canon, Nikon, Leica, Fuji, Panasonic Lumix, etc... not only on the lens, and sensor, but also for Camera feature.
This would immediately attract Camera Phone buyers, imagine this "BB10 with Nikon Camera Technology... or BB10 with Leica Lens, etc...", I think it would do a much better as "BB10 with 9 Megapixel camera", as everyone else got those big megapixels.
What do you guys think?

James Montier spends much of his time talking and writing about behavioural investing, telling investors how to avoid behaving stupidly. He's a prime candidate to give us a really tough assessment of just what we've taken from the worst investment experience since the Great Depression.
He fears we haven't learnt many lessons from the meltdown because of behavioural biases.
Montier says it appears the market declines of 2008 and early 2009 "are being treated as nothing more than a bad dream, as if the investment industry has gone right back to business as usual".
Montier is also a value investor and, in the years up to the meltdown, he was a bear.
"Nobody likes a bear," he once said. "As a career move, bearishness is not a great idea; in a bull market, nobody listens and in a bull market nobody will pay you."
He's found his niche at GMO, where founder Jeremy Grantham knows about being bearish and lonely. Montier moved from Société Générale to GMO's asset allocation team in the middle of last year and is expected to augment Grantham's regular quarterly commentaries.
Here's Montier's 10 lessons.
One, markets aren't efficient , despite what the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) says. In fact, he says EMH is the financial equivalent of Monty Python's dead parrot: "no matter how many times you point out that it is dead, believers insist it is just resting".
Montier also includes in his obituary associated beliefs that flow from the EMH – the capital asset price model, the Black-Scholes option pricing model, modern risk management techniques, mark-to-market accounting, market cap indexing, the concept of "shareholder value" and even the Federal Reserve Board "which stood back and thought that the market knew best".
Two, relative performance is a dangerous game. Montier reckons fund managers are wedded to the idea of measuring performance relative to an index or benchmark because clients and asset consultants force them to. This can result, according to one study, in big pension funds firing managers at precisely the wrong time.
As well, investors seem to spend an inordinate amount of time on separating alpha and beta (active return and market return). Sadly, he says these concepts are nothing more than a distraction from the true aim of investment – defined by the late, great John Templeton as "maximum total returns after tax".
Templeton also told managers it was "impossible to produce a superior performance unless you do something different from the majority", which Montier interprets as managers' tendency to over-diversify because of their fear of underperforming against a benchmark.
Three, "this time is never different". Montier describes suggestions that no one – practitioner, academic or regulator – had the ability to foresee the collapse of the bubble as "utter piffle".
He cites several arguments by former Federal Reserve Board chairman
In a long analysis of bubbles, Montier goes back to 19th century English philospher and economist John Stuart Mill, who said in 1867 "the malady of commercial crisis is not, in essence, a matter of the purse but of the mind".
People don't see bubbles, Montier argues, because of over-optimism that blinds them to the danger posed by predictable surprises and also because of an illusion of control – "the belief that we can influence the outcome of uncontrollable events."
Then there's the natural, self-serving bias that makes people want to interpret information
in a way that supports their
Add to that myopia (or a focus on the short term), and what he calls a form of inattentional blindness. "Put bluntly, we simply don't expect to see what we are not looking for."
Four, valuation matters. As a strong believer in value investing, he reminds smart investors that value investing tells them to buy when assets are cheap and avoid buying expensive assets.
He repeats studies that show real, future returns are much better when buying stocks selling on low price/earnings ratios than when P/Es are high. And at present, he says, most equity markets look fairly valued while the US is again looking expensive.
Five, "wait for the fat pitch" – another saying from Buffett, arguing that smart investors should be disciplined and wait for that sweet spot rather than swing at every pitch.
Six, while valuation of stocks matters, sentiment also plays a part; seen in the way markets swing from greed to fear – something that John Maynard Keynes observed back in 1931.
Seven, leverage is a dangerous beast. "It can't ever turn a bad investment good, but it can turn a good investment bad."
While this is a lesson that endures, Montier says so-called financial innovation "is more often than not just thinly veiled leverage."
Eight, over-quantification (or complex mathematics) hides real risk. The reason for the obsession with needless complexity in investment is clear, he says.
"It is far easier to charge higher fees for things that sound complex."
Once again Montier quotes past masters such as Keynes – "with a free hand to choose co-efficients and time lags, one can, with enough industry, always cook a formula to fit moderately well a limited range of past facts".
Or Benjamin Graham: "Mathematics is ordinarily considered as producing precise and dependable results; but in the stockmarket the more elaborate and abstruse the mathematics, the more uncertain and speculative are the conclusions we draw there from."
Nine, the macro picture matters and, says Montier, both the macro, top-down view and the bottom-up approach can help give smart investors insights.
Ten, investors should look for sources of cheap insurance. Many investors see insurance as unattractive because paying a premium pretty much guarantees small losses.
Smart investors should avoid expensive insurance but Montier says insurance is very useful in a portfolio.
"If we accept that we have only a very limited ability to divine the future, then cheap insurance can help us protect ourselves from the known unknowns" – such as the possible return of inflation, moral hazard issues from extended easy monetary policy and the results from authorities deciding to end quantitative easing.

Following are opinions from Mille Lacs County Times editor-sports editor Gary Larson, reporter Luther Dorr, former Times intern Logan Marxhausen and sports fan Ben Johnson. Note: This feature is written on Monday each week.
•Question: The Minnesota Twins are 37-48 and 10 games behind Central Division leader Detroit following an 11-5 loss at Toronto Sunday. That's just one game better than they were at this point during the horrible 2012 season. Scott Diamond, the team's rising pitching star last season, was battered by Toronto and is a dismal 5-8. The team has nine players batting under .250 and just two (Joe Mauer, Oswaldo Arcia) hitting over .280. The bullpen has joined the starting rotation in going into the tank. Attendance at Target Field is sagging, roughly 170,000 behind last year's pace. How big of a mess is this franchise in?
-Dorr: I wouldn't call it a mess but I think this season is about to become a lost one, as far as wins and losses, unless the team can rattle off about 10 wins in a row. A couple weeks ago the Twins were three games under. 500 and everything seemed headed the right way. Then they lost a couple on the road before coming home for an eight-game home stand that I thought could get the season going well again. They went 2-1 against Kansas City but lost the final game of that series and then were horrible in losing four in a row to a not-so-good Yankee team. I thought the tone for that series was set the first night with the Twins leading 4-3 after seven innings. Manager Gardenhire sent Jared Burton, a right-hander who had an ERA of about 7.00 in June, out to face Robinson Cano, Vernon Wells and Travis Hafner. Cano and Hafner are left-handed power hitters and it was ridiculous to send Burton to the mound. He quickly gave up three runs, the Twins lost, and they also lost leads in the next two games. Here are the ERA stats for the Yankee starters the Twins couldn't beat: Hughes – 4.55, Phelps – 5.01, Sabathia – 4.06, Petitte – 4.40. Nothing great there. And the boys just can't seem to get hits with runners in scoring position. I wouldn't say the bullpen has gone into the tank so I disagree there. To show how little many Twins fans know about baseball and/or how biased they are about Kyle Gibson, many in the crowd stood and applauded wildly when he left his start against the Yankees last week. He had given up 6 runs in 5 1/3 innings and eventually it was 8. That's an ERA of 13.51 for the game and the fans went wild. Why? Two more Twins items: Is there a team in baseball that takes more fastballs for called strikes than the Twins? I guess they'd rather hit those 1-2 curves than the earlier fastballs. And did you notice that SEVEN ex-Twins made the two All-Star teams?
-Marxhausen: What do you expect to have happen when you have former Twins having success all around the AL and NL? The Twins are sending two players to the All-Star Game and yet there are seven former Twins who are making the trip to represent their teams. Players include Michael Cuddyer (OF), Carlos Gomez (OF), Torii Hunter (OF), J.J. Hardy (SS), David Ortiz (DH), Jesse Crain (RP) and Joe Nathan (RP). All that talent slipped through the fingertip of the Twins management. As of now 15 players and 16 pitchers formerly with the Twins could come back and start in their respective position. In the last 16 games the Twins have lost 12 and have a record of 1-7 in July. It looks like all those offseason moves that Terry Ryan made only paid off for the first two-and-a-half months of baseball.
-Larson: The Twins are a mess, from top to bottom. Last Friday manager Gardenhire urged his players to start having fun and play baseball. He should've been kicking some butt. This isn't Little League, high school, Legion or town team baseball. These players are getting paid big bucks to perform and they haven't. Same goes for old Gardy and pitching coach Rick Anderson. Both look clueless in the dugout.
Attendance figures will continue to slip the rest of this season and that could prod ownership to make changes and upgrade the roster. But, I wouldn't count on it. It will be interesting to see just how many "outdoor baseball" fans are out there now that the draw of Target Field is starting to fade and the team is in the third season of a meltdown.
-Johnson: I predicted 100 losses for the Twins this year. Although they are not on pace to hit 100 losses, they have turned a corner towards it. The Twins lineup is full of AAA level players who are either a few years away from developing or who never will. Players like Florimon, Parmelee, Plouffe, Hicks, and Dozier have shown signs of talent but are far too inconsistent for the Majors. Samuel Deduno is the only starter that is worth watching, with all others continuing to struggle. The Ben Revere and Denard Span trades are starting to look terrible with no hopes of Vance Worley and Trevor May making an impact for the Twins. I'm not sure what it will take to get the front office on the market this coming offseason but I think their fan attendance in 2014 and thereafter will depend on it. They need to spend a good chunk of money (which they have) for some proven big league pitching. I think the first step towards recovery would be trading Justin Morneau for some players that will benefit the Twins in 2013 and 2014, not 2016.
•Question: After making a trade with Utah, the Minnesota Timberwolves ended up picking UCLA forward Shabazz Muhammad and Louisville center Gorgui Dieng in the first round of the NBA college draft. Some fans and members of the media were highly disappointed with new general manager Flip Saunders' performance in the draft. Saunders rebounded and soothed over some of those feelings last week by signing free agent shooting guard Kevin Martin, who played for Oklahoma City last year, and resigning forward Chase Budinger, who missed most of last season with an injury. Are the Timberwolves now a better team than last season and, if so, how much better?
-Dorr: I know nothing about the draft choices, except that Muhammad was brutal in his team's loss to Minnesota in the NCAA tournament. I'm told he's strictly a shooter and won't pass the ball. Kevin Love might not like that. But then, Muhammad and Dieng haven't played one minute of NBA ball so we have no idea how they will do. I know nothing about Kevin Martin. Budinger showed some good things in his few minutes with the team last year and he might help. One of the big questions is whether or not the center, Nikola Pekovic, will come back. I have no idea if the team is better now than it was a couple months ago. I don't think anyone will know that until the middle of the next season. Then we'll see if the honeymoon for Saunders continues or not.
-Marxhausen: Injuries plagued the Timberwolves last year. Ricky Rubio was unable to start the season, still rehabilitating his injured knee and Kevin Love found himself with a broken hand towards the start of the season and upon his return broke it again, leaving him sidelined for the rest of the year. Spark Chase Budinger gave the Timberwolves some solid play last year but his season was also cut short by injury. If there are zero injuries at the start of the season, then they are already better than last year's team. With the recent addition of Martin the Timberwolves are a threat in the Western Conference (if the injuries remain a minimum). Nikola Pekovic has yet to sign, but as soon as that happens, the Timberwolves will be a force to be reckoned with.
-Larson: On paper, the Timberwolves are a better team now than they were last season. They should score a ton of points and will likely need them with a defense that is highly suspect. As the other sportswriters pointed out, staying injury-free will be vital. If that happens this team should make the playoffs. And, be fun to watch.
-Johnson: The Timberwolves needed another player who can put up points. Muhammad is a guy who can do that. With a good ball-handler like Rubio, the Timberwolves can set up a much better offense with Muhammad. I don't know much about Dieng but I hear he can block some shots. I guess if he can score a few seconds on the highlight reel by denying some players, more seats might sell. I don't think it will be hard to improve on a 31-51 record but I think the real key to next year's success will be keeping Rubio and Love healthy.

When we first moved to Florida, our oldest daughter was 14 and not happy about the move.
Being 14, she cried. A lot.
One of her many places of tears was Sunken Gardens, the old Florida attraction in St. Petersburg. It's supposedly the oldest commercial tourist attraction on Florida's west coast and one of the first botanical gardens in the U.S.
In 1903, George Turner, Sr., a plumber and avid gardener, bought the site, which included a shallow lake, 10 feet below sea level. He drained it and planted a "sunken" garden.

The Fresh & Onlys
"Long Slow Dance"
Mexican Summer
3 1/2 stars
Until now, this prolific San Francisco indie quartet - "Long Slow Dance" is its fourth album in four years - has been associated with a nascent collection of noisy garage-rock revivalists that includes that city's Thee Oh Sees, among others.
For "Dance," the band strips away most of the remnants of that sound, discovering in the process that it has an amazing facility with - who knew? - richly textured midtempo romantic ballads.
Lead singer Tim Cohen has a warmly resonant croon that blends seamlessly with glowing, intertwined guitars on tracks such as the full-bodied, melodic "20 Days and 20 Nights" and the hopelessly lovelorn "Dream Girls": "You can have anything in the world/But you'll never hang on to a dream girl."
The title song is another stunner, a dark but not despairing examination of what constitutes true love, underpinned by creamy guitars and Cohen's wounded but resilient vocal.
On tracks such as this, the band's instinctive ensemble playing seems to fill every space with just the right touch at just the right moment. Slightly more uptempo tracks such as "Yes or No" and "No Regard" recall a more chipper Echo & the Bunnymen circa 1984's "Killing Moon."
Only the six-minute "Foolish Person" comes up short, topping off a pleasant-enough two-minute tune with a lengthy and unimaginative guitar excursion.
All these seemingly simple but wholly entrancing ballads make one forget that the Fresh & Onlys also are a powerful rock band, so it offers the soaring "Euphoria" and the closing cruncher "Do What I Came to Do" as a reminder.
The polish and sophistication that abounds on "Long Slow Dance" marks a turning point for the band, one it navigates with exacting skill. It's a remarkable transformation.

Dental Periodontics
Angwin Dental periodontal care focuses on treatment and maintenance of the gums and bone structure. Dr. Peter VandenHoven and his skilled staff create customized treatment plans for periodontal patients.
Gingivitis is an early form of periodontitis, or gum disease. If you experience an occasional swelling of the gums, gums that bleed after brushing or flossing, itchy gums, or bright red or purple gums, chances are you have gingivitis. Gingivitis can be treated by having your teeth professionally cleaned, followed by a strict oral hygiene regimen, including anti-bacterial rinses.
Left untreated, gingivitis can escalate into periodontitis. There are many factors that can contribute to the disease, including smoking, genetic tendencies, and unchecked diabetes. Periodontitis symptoms include those of gingivitis, as well as a metallic taste in the mouth, receding gums, enlarged spaces between the gums and teeth, severe halitosis (bad breath), and even loose teeth (from loss of bone).
At Angwin Dental, we understand that each patient's condition is unique. We consider the severity of disease factors in to our recommendations and create personalized dental treatment plans. We discuss options with the patient and determine the best course of treatment to achieve the desired results.
To help prevent tooth loss from periodontitis, the initial treatment and standard of care is to remove the buildup of bacterial plaque and tartar (hard deposits) through scraping or ultrasonic vibration. In addition, antibiotic options may be considered. With our investment and training in dental lasers we can now offer the advantages of Laser-Assisted Periodontal Therapy.
Laser Gum Treatment
Gum disease is one of the most common dental problems. Laser gum treatment and ultrasonic scaling provide comfortable procedures by which we can treat most periodontal problems. The advantage of laser periodontal therapy is the precise removal of diseased soft tissue within the periodontal pocket. This precision enables greater success in gum reattachment and elimination of bleeding.
Our laser trained dental hygiene team provides gentle gum procedures completed in our office. These conservative laser procedures result in little to no bleeding, infection, swelling or post-treatment discomfort.
For more information on periodontics or to schedule an appointment, call Angwin Dental at (707) 965-2479.

As Delrona Beach celebrates 'Buccaneer Days', rival property developers arouse mixed emotions among townsfolk. Marly longs to sell her family's motel, while Desiree, back after 25 years, resists being drawn into the community's fight to preserve its ideals.
Indie emeritus John Sayles crosses the continent from his Alaskan-set Limbo for a more emotionally accessible comedy-drama on a Florida seaside, well off the Miami-Disney World itinerary.
From a teenage arsonist to a failed actress and a suicidal embezzler, the characters wrestle with their problems while battles ensue between property developers around a proposed resort. The most engaging element is the tentative romance between Falco's weary ex-mermaid and landscape architect Hutton, while most poignant is venerable Bill Cobbs, championing a once prosperous black community.
In an excellent ensemble (which includes Sayles regular Tom Wright as the local has-been hero and NYPD Blue duo James McDaniel and Gordon Clapp) Steenburgen is a scream as the harassed organiser trying to drum up tourism with tacky pirate shows and a man-eating alligator. The Sopranos' Falco is also terrific.
Its not as focused as Sayles earlier wide-ranging dramas, and could use more Altmanesque coincidence and connections to pull it together. But the performances are strong, with the characters benefiting from Sayles customary wit and understanding.

"You simply provide a link to the audio file, tell them how long the audio runs, then pay the fee. Very simple. Very easy. "
"We were constantly surprised that phrases or names that other companies missed, from "tabula rasa" to "turducken" (it's a Cajun specialty), were identified and spelled correctly."- Charles Passy, The Wall Street Journal
"And when a 45 minute conference talk only costs £30 to transcribe, it's difficult to imagine why organisers of for-profit conferences wouldn't provide a transcript of their events."
"The transcriber went the extra mile to correctly identify Det Norske Veritas. Impressive!"- Jon Udell

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hello and thank you for asking your question, with JustAnswer.com/Mac. I am Sr. Mac Tech Support Specialist, Terry, glad to assist you.
What type of iPod do you have if I may ask?
i pod classic 160 gb silver
The only iPods which can be traced I'm afraid is the iPod Touch model series. That is due to the fact they, like iPhones and iPads have the ability to install Apps. One of those Apps is "Find my iPhone" which works with the iCloud application so that you can use the GPS tracking feature on your computer or other Apple device to locate the missing device.
When it comes to other iPods, there unfortunately is no way of Geo (GPS) tracking those products
If I may ask, did you misplace the iPod Classic in your home or outside of your home?
outside i think it was in my car when it went for service
Also just one more bit of additional information for you- Apple has no product tracking services if you call them- so that would be a futile effort-
technician must have stole it / taken it
want to save you some time there
I am thinking the same way
I would definitely recommend contacting that auto shop's management and advising them of this
will do , thank you
I hope all the best for you
and remember, only iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch models
have the ability to be tracked via installed software
thanks all the best for 2013 - may it be a blast of a year

Obtaining a Canadian visa is not as difficult as obtaining a United States visa. To apply for a Canadian visa, you must apply under one of the following categories: Visit, Work Temporarily, Study, Immigrate and Refugees.
Visa Fees and Information
To apply for a visitor's visa, you must be a student, tourist or a temporary worker. You will need to decide if you need a single entry visa--one that allows you to enter and leave Canada only once--or a multiple entry visa--one that allows you to enter and leave Canada two or more times during your approved stay. The fees vary as multiple entry visas are more expensive--$150 per person in Canada dollars and roughly $140 in U.S. dollars--than single entry visas (C$75.00/person). For families traveling together, the visa fee is C$400 irrespective of whether the visa is a single entry one or a multiple entry one.
Visa Requirements
The following conditions must be met before a Canadian visa can be issued:
--You have a valid travel document (passport)
--You intend on leaving Canada by the end of your stay.
--You do not plan on working or studying in Canada.
--You are in good medical condition.
--You are not a security threat to Canada.
--You have not committed any criminal offense and are a law-abiding citizen.
--You have enough money to sustain yourself during your stay in Canada.
In addition to the above requirements, you must provide two passport size photographs of you and any other person with whom you will be traveling.
Tips and Warnings
- To ensure a smooth and speedy process, it is highly recommended that you submit your application for a Canadian visa at least a month before you intended date of departure. Please keep in mind that mailing your application takes even longer (up to eight weeks).
- Be sure to have proof of travel arrangements when you apply, such as the purchase of tickets and hotel reservations.
- Make sure that the photos you submit are the right size. At a minimum, photos must meet the following dimension: 35 mm x 45 mm.
- Be sure you send the right fee amounts.
- Make sure your application is signed and dated. Applications that are not signed and dated may not be processed.
Visa Interview
Generally, in most cases, you might need to attend a visa interview during which a consular official will try to determine your eligibility for entry into Canada.
Keep in mind that the visa interview might require a medical examination to determine the state of your health.
Address and Telephone Number Change
In the event that your address or telephone number changes after you submit your application, you must notify the Canadian Embassy or Consulate immediately of this change.

Carmelo Anthony had plenty of options when free agency began. However, most of those options have committed money that prevents them from signing Anthony at this point. The New York Knicks are in a position of power and should call Anthony's bluff of signing elsewhere by offering him less than the maximum.
When free agency began Carmelo Anthony looked at the Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls as possible alternatives to returning to the New York Knicks. However, at this point all of those teams have other financial commitments.
The Dallas Mavericks have made a large commitment of three years, $35 million to restricted free agent Chandler Parsons of the Houston Rockets. The Rockets could very well match the contract but whoever ends up with Parsons will take themselves out of the market for Anthony.
Meanwhile, the Rockets still have too much money in Omer Asik. They'd been working on trading Asik to the New Orleans Pelicans but haven't been able to close the deal as of yet.
There are rumors of the Pelicans talking to the Cleveland Cavaliers about Alonzo Gee that could lead to New Orleans finally completing the Asik deal but there's obviously a lot of moving parts there. For right now, Houston isn't in a place to sign Anthony.
Houston did dump Jeremy Lin and his contract on the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers took Lin and a draft pick. When you take Lin's deal, the four year deal worth $21.5 million they gave to Nick Young, and the two year deal worth $18 million they gave Jordan Hill the Lakers have pretty much lost any chance of signing Anthony.
Then there's the Chicago Bulls. Interestingly enough, they are attached to the Lakers. Chicago is working out a sign-and-trade deal with the Lakers involving Carlos Boozer and Pau Gasol. Signing Gasol takes the Bulls out of the market for Anthony.
All of that adds up to Anthony re-signing with the Knicks. However, it also puts the Knicks in a position of power. Why should they automatically commit the maximum to Anthony when there are no other suitors to outbid?
Phil Jackson must be smiling. He wants Anthony back but he wants Anthony to take less than the max so the team keep flexibility to add to the roster. Jackson's never been in a better position to negotiate that.
Anthony is very likely still to demand the max. Jackson should hold strong to an offer less than the maximum and more than anyone else can offer. At this point Houston is the only threat and they still have to make roster moves.
The right play is to calculate what Houston can offer if they clear roster space and offer just a bit more. That should land Anthony and save money to add to the roster in the future which is in both New York's and Anthony's best interest.Tags: Basketball, Carmelo Anthony, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Mavericks, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, NBA, New York, New York Knicks, Phil Jackson

AP PHOTOS: Lebanese blasts ravage Iranian Embassy
11/19/2013 6:44amSome of the graphic scenes from deadly twin suicide bombings outside the Iranian Embassy in Beirut include a Lebanese man running in front of a burning car, army soldiers helping an man with a head wound and Red Cross workers pulling a dead body from a destroyed vehicle. The obscure Abdullah Azzam Brigades, an al-Qaida-linked group, has claimed responsibility for the carnage that killed at least 23 people, including an Iranian diplomat. The attack is one of the worst bombings to target the predominantly Shiite area in southern Beirut. The blasts hit the upscale neighborhood of Janah, a stronghold of the Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah group, leaving pools of blood and bodies amid burning cars on the rubble-strewn street.
Lebanon blasts: Q&A about why they happened
11/19/2013 11:38amA pair of suicide bombers targeted the Iranian Embassy in Beirut on Tuesday, killing some two dozen people and leaving corpses, puddles of blood and burning cars strewn across an upscale, Shiite-dominated neighborhood of the capital.

But that raises a good question. For every change I make in torque, do I have to restart maui? Maui doesn't get updated if I add a queue or just change a single setting. It looks like maui doesn't see the change. Is there a way to force it to do so, without completely restarting maui? I believe the problem I had originally was somehow related to my use of CLASSCFG[classname] MAXPROC=80 I believe that the queues that weren't working didn't have CLASSCFG statements in my maui.cfg. Does that make sense? Actually, why doesn't showconfig show settings made in maui.cfg? It clearly honors them because I can see when jobs hit soft and hard limits. But showconfig only ever shows settings it picks up from torque. I have fixed the queues I first mentioned by completely removing the CLASSCFG settings from my maui.cfg but I still have a queue that maui doesn't see.

Paul CadmusPreliminary sketch for Subway Symphony
pencil, casein, crayon, and chalk
21 9/16 x 40 in.
Smithsonian American Art Museum, Gift of the Sara Roby Foundation
A longtime subway rider himself, Cadmus transformed the everyday experience of commuting into a living Inferno, with figures of every shape, size, class, and ethnic group crammed together in their underground journey. For this microcosm of the larger New York melting pot, Cadmus explained how he chose his models: "Ugliness. Ugliness rules there. I will leave out the mediocre, the inbetweens. To distill an altar of essence I must select only the perfect petals, the most hellish" Yet this vision of social hideousness recalls the artistic tradition of finding redeeming value in ugliness. Cadmus exaggerated his subjects with wit and empathy, and captured the individuality of each figure.

Now that the legalist debate is left behind, a hardly-hidden, protracted power struggle is bound to come to the forefront of Venezuelan politics with renewed vigor. The struggle involves two major factions: The first group, led by Vice President Maduro, embodies the doctrinaire wing of Chavism and has the blessing and support of the Castro brothers, whose influence on Chavez and his regime could hardly be overestimated. The second group is personified by Mr. Cabello, who has strong ties with the military (where he comes from) and with the new oligarchy that has blossomed under the umbrella of the Chavez regime.

|Maritime Transportation Security Act (2002)
|Required the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to create the National Maritime Security Plan. This plan outlines the coordinated action and incident-response plans between federal, state, and local governments to respond to security incidents involving maritime assets and infrastructure.

Sheppard suffered what Reid had termed "a fairly significant" ankle sprain in the Eagles' season-opener against Houston and has missed the last two games, including Sunday's 38-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers. But Reid said he is hopeful the Pro Bowl corner will be able to practice Thursday when the team begins preparations for the Packers game.
"He'll have a chance to practice this week and we'll see where he is at," Reid said. "It just looks like he can do most of the things that he is going to need to do to play. He wants to get back out there. We'll see what he can do. Until he is out there doing it, I am not going to give you anything until I see him with the pads on."
The Eagles' defense certainly could use Sheppard back, particularly since his replacement, Rod Hood, aggravated a heel injury Sunday that he initially hurt in Week Two against the Giants.
In their first three games (Sheppard injured his ankle on the first series against Houston) without Sheppard, the Eagles have given up five touchdown passes and have allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 65.5 percent of their passes against them.
Hood was listed as doubtful all last week and wasn't expected to play against the 49'ers, but started and played most of the game until he aggravated the heel injury in the four quarter.
"Rod really gave us everything he had out there and was limited," said Reid. "But he went out and played his heart out."
Reid said he decided to start Hood after the Eagles trainers assured him that the cornerback couldn't injure the heel any worse. But now, he's back to square one, with red-hot Brett Favre up this week and the Dallas Cowboys next week.
If neither Sheppard nor Hood can play this week, Joselio Hanson, who played in NFL Europe last spring, would start opposite Sheldon Brown. Dexter Wynn would be the team's third corner.
Hanson saw action starting in Week Two against the Giants and was continually exploited by Giants' quarterback Eli Manning. Wynn didn't start the season with the team, but was signed when Sheppard went down in Week One.
In the first half Sunday, the Eagles held the 49'ers to five first downs and 110 offensive yards. But for the second straight week, the defense got roughed up badly in the second half. In the final two quarters, the Niners scored 21 points and notched 18 first downs and 282 offensive yards.
The loss of Brian Dawkins with a concussion didn't help the beleaguered secondary, but Dawkins believes it's just a matter of the defense responding.
"I believe we're going to have a lot of games where we are going to have to learn how to play with the lead the way the offense is doing things," Dawkins said. "Eventually, we will learn how to finish and finish with excellence."

Dr. Andrea Dugas recalled widespread skepticism at a medical conference a few years ago when a colleague suggested that social media mentions and search volume could one day forecast flu activity.
"They would say, 'How can you use this social media to surveil flu data' and 'It's crazy' and 'You can't do that,'" said Dugas, a Johns Hopkins University professor who studies flu-tracking. "Now it's widely acceptable."
