They were very smart
Kids trying to be clever.
If they were that smart....
Three high school juniors have been arrested after they devised a sophisticated hacking scheme to up their grades and make money selling quiz answers to their classmates. The students are accused of breaking into the janitor's office of California's Palos Verdes High School and making a copy of the master key, giving them …
Kids trying to be clever.
If they were that smart....
in Juvenile Hall.
I went to a private high school in the '50s. Everyone had to take the Stanford-Binet IQ test to get admitted. In my sophomore year a colleague stole the list of the IQs for everyone in our class. How happy we 15 year olds were to have that information!
Any fool can turn an 'B' into an 'A'. But to be able to look at the class athlete or stud and think: "heh, heh, only 108."
In the middle of the 20th century, we had very simple desires. Oh, and no one tried to change his IQ score.
LOL. I like how the author uses the word sophisticated when all the kids were script kiddies. Only having to download a keylogger, buy a decent crypter to remain undetected by antiviruses and gain access to the teacher's computers. Use usb spread if os is vista or xp or simply execute the file if windows 7. Then receive reports via either ftp or email. They are so stupid they didn't even chose the melt option or hide process via rootkit or attributes. I managed to hack 30+ accounts when i was 11 including hotmail twitter etc by making my own video.... Do I think they are smart? of course not.
would read the article carefully before commenting...
Like "separate the men from the boys?" To tell us that some people in a group can do something difficult (commit crimes and not get caught) and some people cannot.
That our very own manly masterminds like AC are separated from the legions of incompetent high school bat boys in the league of Ali Baba and the Forty Theives.
cool story bro.
Must have been one helluva badly run network to A) allow FTP B) let staff/pupils have install rights C) let their mailserver act as an internal open relay, D) allow access to hotmail and twitter on a school network, E) not have central mandatory profiles to stop people injecting startups or other oddities.
Bread and butter things in schools really. Expect the kids to try and break the system, even down to learning japanese to beat the filters and screen readers....
If I witnessed an elaborate scheme by some kids at a school, I would be downright impressed.
They've shown more initiative, ingenuity and technical ability than the majority of people ever will.
I don't think so unless you feel prison is the proper reward. Rewarding criminals shows that you've missed the point completely.
Did the grass get a thorough beating?
I was suspended from school for shoulder-surfing the teacher's password.
It was 'clowne' from the fictitious Clowne Industries used in the training literature for our BBC B micros.
Our Computer Studies teacher, was, shall we say, blessed with some enormous norks, so I did what any self-respecting geek would in that situation, send a network message to all the screens in the computer room 'Miss Low is a top heavy fraction'
Some punk-ass little kid from the second year grassed me up. I got suspended for the rest of my school career because, apparently, I corrupted the platter-based storage system!
<remembers fondly trying to un-crease my 5 1/4 floppy>
Bring on the Raspberry Pi
"The school has also upgraded its security and has advised teachers to change their passwords."
The school should implement two-factor authentication and this wouldn't happen again.
They should bee up that janitors closet as well.
Weak physical security = weak computer security.
Reminds me of when USB 1.0 came out, shortly followed by the first scare stories of USB hardware exploits and keyloggers. The government agency I was working at had just gone through a consulting exercise around centralised printing, with only the senior managers' PAs getting personal USB printers to replace their old serial-port ones. They'd just about got all the PAs' new printers in when we heard they were going to disable all the USB ports on all desktops! One of the unwanted USB printers promptly found its way to my home office.....
School wheezes and japes:
Rule # 1:
Don't tell anyone!
This often helps with the primary objective:
Don't get caught.
Remember that movie - when you can log in with only an username, no password...
They should do a remake of that movie :)
be careful what you wish for.
If only people knew the technical side. They wouldn't be so "impressed". It's sad how the genuinely skilled people remain unemployed and these halfwits are described as very bright when anyone with an iq 90+ would be able to succeed in such a task.
These kids are 2 steps away from Global Thermonuclear war!
@AC - Sunday 29th 9.46GMT
Funnily enough, i'd also put you into the script kiddie category. Also you say you hacked 30+ twitter accounts when you were 11, does that make you 13 now?
The master key was stolen from the janitors office (physically or just a software number?) and security wasn't changed?
maybe someone other than the kids should be leaving the school........
They used hardware key loggers to get admin. They then had admin access and all they did was change their grades.........kids these days have no imagination.
.. "When - not if - the students hack this system, I hope you're very lucky and they only alter their grades. They can do a LOT more damage if they start circulating sensitive personal information."
The response was to tell me my services were no longer needed. 6 months later the inevitable happened and having shown their insurers proof of the warning their public liability cover was voided.
$2 million in payouts later, that school has a half decent security system which DOESN'T have staff and student machines on the same physical network.
No point in changing your grades when the teachers know which grades you have been getting all year.
No, forcing people to change their passwords every n days is a bad idea. You either have to use a fairly weak password or write it down, otherwise you'll never remember. Stick to one strong password and don't change it unless it's compromised. Also the more rules you put on what can be in a password - e.g. dictionary words - the easier you make it to hack the password (because rules exclude whole rafts of possibilities).
My hearty congratulations to anyone who hasn't tried to gain a competitive edge over their classmates through subterfuge. My personal experience was this: When I was studying 3 languages at GCSE level you could take an extended written examination or choose coursework which involved recalling from memory (under exam conditions) two A4 pages of text you had written yourself a week before. You were allowed dictionaries and could use anything printed inside them. So I would type up my essay and reduce it to a tiny font then flip the image and change the settings on the printer so the ink was quite wet. I could then carefully "print" this onto a blank page in the dictionary. I was careful to make a couple of deliberate mistakes when copying out so as not to be rumbled. This assured me 25% of my grade at A standard in these 3 subjects. What did I do with the time I should have been committing this to memory? I was studying for the other 9 GCSEs I had to pass. I'm talking Maths, Science, English and the like not Drama and Art.
Bottom line is there is so much pressure on kids to do well that this sort of thing is bound to become commonplace. I ended up with 11 A* and 1 A. I'm no idiot by any stretch of the imagination and everything else I got honestly, but my other grades would've suffered had I not exploited a loophole. When you're pitted against a kid with photographic memory who only has to read the relevant info several times 2 hours before the exam and then regurgitate it, you appreciate how unfair life can be. A simple fluke of in built ability can affect your chances of doing well in exams. He wasn't the brightest kid but could reproduce a piece of text he'd seen verbatim.
Sometimes you feel the need to even the odds in your favour. I'm not saying I condone what these kids did, but I understand. Yes, if they'd been smarter (and less greedy) they would've kept this to themselves and given themselves a chance at an excellent college. I suppose that's filthy capitalists for you, they couldn't see the long term investment and bigger payoff down the road.
1) They would not have done it at all, agreed. And this is the MOST important point!
2) They would have written their own software key-logger vrs a hardware one to make it harder to detect and hopefully harder to trace back to them. (kids and credit cards these days, way too lazy!)
3) They would have retrieved the hardware devices after they had captured the needed passwords to avoid detection. (Granted there is a risk of detection on re-entry but it appears these guys where rather proficient at infiltration of the school...)
4) And this is the big one.... they should have never tried to profit and never told anyone, ever!!!
Like most criminals it's the greed that gets them every time! But will they learn their lesson?
Now that they are expelled they have plenty of time to learn how to use metasploit and SET to do it from the outside (Just what we all need...).
School or not Security needs to be baked in to everything you do these days, and expulsion alone is not harsh enough to prevent the students from continuing down a rather dark and dangerous path.... lets hope their parents straighten them out before the courts have to!
The school system failed to keep smart kids occupied & challenged. Classes are taught to the speed of the slowest student. These kids needed a challenge and they found one. Their teachers should be punished for not keeping the smart students intellectually engaged.
Now about the endpoint security technology which failed to detect a keylogger..... Probably should punish the IT department too.
Do you have the Flux Capacitor...tell me have it!
They apparently used hardware based keyloggers, which are virtually impossible to detect by software as they plug inline with the keyboard cable out of the back of the PC. More of a physical security issue. Besides almost every company I hear about being hacked all act dumbfounded at the breaches because they all had "AV and Firewalls" The biggest threats are from within, and AV can only stop what it knows about if ti's something new or just newly encrypted in low volumes it's not a priority and often times will slip right though most AV...
I don't think this was a case of a lack of being stimulated or engaged here, they used COTS hardware, a copied key from the janitor, it was fairly low tech breach overall. This is simply a case of B&E, academic fraud, and being greedy.

The net wasn't empty very long.
Less than two hours after last season's MVP Dwayne Roloson left town to sign a two-year deal with the New York Islanders, the Oilers signed unrestricted free agent Nikolai Khabibulin to a four-year, $15-million contract.
In addition to replacing him in the net, Khabibulin, at 36, replaces Roloson as the oldest player on the team.
While some would ask the difference between signing a 36-year-old to a four-year deal and refusing to sign a 39-year-old to a two-year deal for a smaller cap hit ($2.5 to Khabibulin's $3.75), the Oilers are obviously very happy with the Nyet 'minder.
"Nikolai is a world class goaltender who has proven himself throughout his career as one of the best in the game," said GM Steve Tambellini. "He has had success at many levels and we're looking forward to seeing him continue that success here in Edmonton."
He became the first Russian goalie ever to win the Stanley Cup (2004) with the Tampa Bay Lightning and owns two Olympic medals, the last coming in 2002 when he started for the Russian bronze-medal team and was named the tournament's top goaltender.
While he's not that much younger than Roloson, and only played more than 50 games in a season once in the last four years, he has good numbers, including a save percentage over .900 in 12 of his last 13 seasons.
He was 25-8-7 last season while finishing third in the NHL in goals against average (2.33) and sixth in save percentage (.919).
In 15 playoff games last year he posted an 8-6-0 record with a 2.93 goals against average and a .898 save percentage.
"I'm obviously very excited about the opportunity and the new challenges of coming to Edmonton," he said in a statement released through the team. "It's going to be great to play in a Canadian city."
Khabibulin has played 678 career NHL games, establishing a career record of 299-267-58, including a 2.67 goals against average and a .908 save percentage.
In 72 career post-season games, he is 39-31 with a 2.40 goals against average and a .917 save percentage.
Oilers defenceman Jason Strudwick has played against Khabibulin plenty of times and has always liked his style.
"I didn't get a lot of shots on him, didn't have a lot of scoring opportunities," joked Strudwick. "But as a D-man I can tell you I know how he plays. He's very solid. I know he controls his rebounds. As a D-man I really like that, it's more predictable, that's what you want from a goalie."
Khabibulin's 50-game ceiling means, in theory, more work for Jeff Deslauriers, who is a wild card in the whole Oilers goalie situation. One of Craig MacTavish's most costly mistakes last season was going through a whole year -- in which Edmonton didn't make the playoffs anyway -- without finding out if Deslauriers can be a starter in the NHL. He played back-to-back starts on the road in early November, won both, then lost on Nov. 13 and 30, then played just two times in the next four months. And the Oilers are not one step closer to knowing what he's all about than when last season started.

Let's review, preview and analyze the new Cincinnati Bengals.
I'm going to start from the top down and look at the positive steps of each section of the team. The owner Mike Brown and Bengals front office officials have made some positive steps. Number one positive step is having complete ownership of the Cincinnati Bengals, so there can be no in fighting among shareholders. After taking full ownership. The Bengals restructured the ticket pricing for most of the stadium. Some sections ticket prices went down. While other sections had a slight increases. Still, it made it easier for those less fortunate to afford Cincinnati Bengals tickets. The Bengals made the move, allowing director of football operations to retire. Not giving the title to anyone else, but the director of scouting Duke Tobin seems to be in charge. They added two scouts, one out West and one in the South. The Bengals also moved training camp inside the city for the fans, so the players could be closer to home.
There was also changes in the coaching staff adding Mark Carrier and Hue Jackson. Last year Bengals added James Urban receivers coach who was with Philadelphia 2004-2010. Kyle Caskey as assistant offensive line coach, Brayden Coombs offensive assistant to Jay Gruden and David Lippincott as defenses assistant to linebacker coach Paul Guenther. Paul Guenther although on staff last year replaces Jeff Fitzgerald, who wasn't re-signed. Paul has been an assistant with Bengals for eight years. Along with these additions were extensions for Jay Gruden, Mike Zimmer and head coach Marvin Lewis.
Although Marvin Lewis been here for 10 years. This could be the first year you can actually say this is his team completely. Only two coaches Anderson and Alexander were here before Marvin. And they were here three head coaches before Marvin. There is not one player on the roster that was here before Marvin. In fact, only one player has been on the team going into his eighth year. That player is Robert Geathers and Marvin drafted him. So make no mistake that this is Marvin's team. Two players leaving the team last year you could say belong to Mike Brown. Those two players was Chad Johnson, who was drafted before Marvin got here and Carson Palmer, who was drafted the year Marvin got here. So let's give both picks to Mike Brown.
So here we are 2012. Marvin has had three winning seasons and three losing seasons since he is been here the rest of them have been break even. Marvin in my view has made strides in being a better coach. But to me he plays conservative when I believe the team would play better being aggressive. Only one year did I see Marvin let his team get aggressive for the whole season. That was 2005 a team that may have made it to the big show if the QB Palmer and WR Henry didn't go down with injury the second play of game.
The key to any good football team starts in the trenches. So let's check out the trenches. Every player starting on the defensive line was drafted by the Bengals. Three players on a offensive line was drafted by the Bengals, Whitworth, Smith and Zeitler, one player, was a college free-agent signed to another club and released and added to the Bengals practice squad Kyle Cook and one sign as a free agent this year Travelle Wharton. The Bengals made the playoffs with a not so good offensive line last year. The two main problems were not re-signed this year Living and McGlynn. Without having one start together. Some people were saying the Bengals have one of the best offensive lines in football because of drafting a first-round guard and picking up a very good free-agent guard who was cut because of cap reasons. Even with a bad offensive line last year the Bengals were third in giving ups the least amount of sacks.
The defensive line. Put enough pressure on the other teams that they faced, were the top 10 in pass, rushing and total defense. So for the first time in Marvin Lewis era, the trenches are solid. DT Peko and Atkins and DE's Johnson and Geathers. DT rotation of should consist of rookie Stills and Thompson and DE rotation should be two former top 6 picks in Harvey and Anderson.
The Lines
These are not set in stone as training camp just started and other on offseason roster could beat out some listed. But as you can see the team is young and experienced.
|Clint Boling
|Geno Atkins
|Anthony Collins
|Robert Geathers
|Kyle Cook
|Carlos Dunlap
|Travell Wharton
|Michael Johnson
|Andrew Whitworth
|Domata Peko
|Kevin Zeitler
|Devon Still
|Dennis Roland
|Brandon Thompson
|Andre Smith
|Jamaal Anderson
The rest of the defense is looking good for the future. Expected starters.
Battling for roster spots Robert Sands 22, Jeromy Miles 25, George Iloka 22, are your safeties. And Corner battle you have Jason Allen 29, Brandon Ghee 25, Adam Jones 28, Terrence Newman 33, Shaun Prater 22, and Nate Clements 32. Dontay Moch 24, Roddrick Muckelroy 25, Vicent Rey 24, Dan Skuta 26 should be the backup linebackers. So that would leaves Newman and Clements as only players over 30 for defense if they make it.
|Manny Lawson
|Rey Maualuga
|Thomas Howard
|Leon Hall
|Dre Kirkpatrick
|Reggie Nelson
|Taylor Mays
We have a young hungry defense who finish top 10 a year ago. What is good is even the signed free agent players have something to prove especially at CB. With so many first round CBs, they know they aren't sticking because where they were drafted. They are staying because they are doing the work.
Other than the offensive line, the offense has a few question marks but on paper looks very talented.
QB second year Dalton was first rookie QB to start every game and lead his team to the playoffs. A big positive when many were expecting the team to finish no better than 2010 when they were 4-12. Gradkowski will be backing up Dalton and does have experience starting. A good QB to have as a backup.
Runningback is even a bigger question mark. Green Ellis had over 1600 yards last couple years. In 2010 he had over 1000 yards on 229 carries while starting 11 games.The Patriots last year went with an extra TE instead of RB and Green Ellis only started 6 games for 667 yards. Measure Green Ellis 2010 to Cedric Benson last year and Green Ellis rush for 60 less yards on 44 less carries, averaging 4.4 yards a carry. With improved line I expect Green Ellis to get over 1100 yards this season. Also in mix is Benard Scott who I believe won't make team and Cedric Peerman and Brian Leonard.
I believe for first time since 80's we have a solid TE group. Gresham, Charles and Cochart are good receiving TE's plus we have veteran Donald Lee who is a very good blocker and can also catch. if Cochart looks good then I expect Lee to not make team.
That leaves receiver. I think Green is our best WR since Isaac Curtis and we have had some good ones. I think no matter who gets to play slot, we will be solid there with Shipley leading the way. Sanu would be close behind. I don't think Hawkins makes team. Going for #2 receiver is Binns, Tate and Jones. My bet is on Binns but it could be any of them. They all have the speed to take pressure off Green.
Only 5 players on whole roster has reached 30 years of age. And only one has reach 33 (Terrance Newman). If Bengals do make it to Super Bowl, they are young enough to start a dynasty.
The Bengals in 2013 can fill any hole with having a first and two second round picks. With the way the CBA is set up and with the cap room this year. The Bengals will be able to sign any of their free agents to long term contracts. No team will be able to out bid them. If they win, no player will want to leave with a fair contract offer. Only three reasons free agents change teams. Money, a chance to start and a chance to go to Super Bowl. All of that is covered if they make it far into the playoffs.
But what if they don't make playoffs? The Bengals are still in good shape to keep the players they want with the new cap system. So the only players that might want to leave is those who don't think we will make playoffs in 2013 and those players have a very limited number of teams to choose from if there are any at all.
The coaching future. Many think we could lose Zimmer or Gruden if we win. I have a feeling that Mike, Marvin and Mike talked about how to keep Zimmer here if there were offers coming his way. I believe Zimmer already signed a big contract and just the head coaching position, not the money would make him think about leaving. In that case, I believe that Marvin has agreed to move to front office if it happens. I believe Gruden, Zimmer, and Lewis was signed to an extension to have the players know that there is continuity with the coaching staff for the future. But the kick is this, Mike Brown was working to get Zimmer signed before he would sign Marvin to an extension. And Mike Brown was listening to Zimmer on how he could keep him loyal to the Bengals. Zimmer wants his chance at being head coach. Marvin wants his Super Bowl. If Marvin gets his Super Bowl this year, he moves up if Zimmer gets head coaching offers. If not Marvin stays put for another year and the steps aside for Zimmer to take over the following year. If Marvin doesn't make playoffs, then Zimmer becomes head coach and Marvin moves to front office right away.
This year we should see if Marvin makes the playoffs or not. The Bengals future looks bright, no more over the hill veterans or holding on to the injured because they aren't any better players on the roster. No longer are we holding on to used parts. If something breaks, we buy new.

Eleanor Murray, Led to Sea, Cap Lori, Jordan O' Jordan @ The Bread Factory | 10/22 | 7pm| $7 donation
Eleanor Murray is impossibly good. The Olympia WA Bicycle Records artist is going on a month-long tour and taking a backing band with her. To call her folky would be undercutting the beauty of what she does, but it wouldn't be entirely untrue; neither would comparing her to Portland's fantastic Shelley Short. Murray is more haunting, though, more serious. Her show can be nothing but great, like her new record oh thunder Which can be streamed here.
Fun., Steel Train, Jarrod Gorbel @ EL Corazon | 10/22 | 8pm | $15
Jarrod Gorbel, once the leader of The Honorary Title, is back on his own. He started as The Honorary Title in 2002, and as the name got bigger he followed in the footsteps of acts like Dashboard Confessional and did what must have seemed like most natural thing: he added a backing band. The Honorary Title became a quartet and together they made the move from Doghouse records to the majors and toured the world.
That's over now. Back to square one. Gorbel is once again in charge of all the songwriting, and this time there was no label pressure. What came of it is called Devil's Made a New Friend. There are big-name musicians on this record: members of Rilo Kiley, The Black Crowes, Mystic Valley Band, and Azure Ray all make appearances. The result is a mostly acoustic record full of confident, lush orchestration and often a 60's pop sound. Lenny Kravitz's "It Ain't Over Till it's Over" comes to mind immediately.
Jarrod Gorbel will also do an in-store at the Queen Anne Silver Platters store at 4pm.
The Great Sabatini, Sean, The Loathesome Couple, Wah Wah Exit Wound @ The Funhouse | 10/22 | 9:30pm | $6
Quebec's The Great Sabatini are here to crush. All hail The Great Sabatini.
There's no two ways about it– these guys are heavy. Their mixture of psychedelia and tuned down destruction isn't like that of most other bands attempting it because of their subtlety. The stoner vibes here are only as present as they are on the latest Torche record. These guys, however, are clearly more enamored with heaviness than they are with melody. Catch them on this, their two week tour of the American west coast and Canada.
Don't forget about City Arts Fest! Get more information about what's going down tonight with City Arts here.

King slams Clinton 'brave' remark
Rep. Steve King is criticizing former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for praising an undocumented teen that questioned her at an event, saying Clinton should have told the young woman to follow the law.
"#Hillary calls immigration law breaker 'incredibly brave.' Should have said, 'Get right with the law.' … Then come back," King tweeted early Friday morning.
Story Continued Below
King was referring to an event Clinton held Thursday in conjunction with her family's foundation and No Ceilings, during which a 19-year-old woman stood up and tearfully announced herself as an undocumented immigrant facing her own ceilings. Clinton called the teen brave and advocated for the immigration reform legislation passed by the Senate last year as well as a pathway to citizenship.
( Also on POLITICO: Clinton praises undocumented teen)
The Iowa Republican is known for his controversial remarks on illegal immigration: Last summer, he referred to undocumented immigrants as drug smugglers with "calves the size of cantaloupes," rather than valedictorians, comments he has continued to stand behind.
He has been a vocal member of House Republicans who have stood strongly against the immigration reform legislation that cleared the Senate as well as a critic of pathways to citizenship for so-called DREAMers, undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children, like the one at the Clinton event.

If pink is outside your comfort zone Sal, then I would never know. Perfect ink dusting and the maple leaves finish it nicely.ReplyDelete
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Sally l love this it is so striking in pink - beautiful x Susan xReplyDelete
wow Sally what a beautiful pink landshape , I love it and I wouldn't myself try this pink for an landschape but it is really wonderful!!!ReplyDelete
Absolutely LOVE your pink scenic card Sally.ReplyDelete
I don't really do pink either! But it's good to get out of your comfort zone from time to time isn't it?
Hugs, Sarn xxx
fantastic scene have you made.ReplyDelete
Love your pretty pink landscape Sally, gorgeous as usual:)ReplyDelete
Val x
Pink isn't my thing either but this is beautiful.ReplyDelete
This is different, I really like it, just shows what you can achieve with a change of colour.ReplyDelete
Lynn x
This is just gorgeous,fab colour.xReplyDelete
A real stunner with those different pink shades & I love the mist floating across the sun & your leaves just flopping into the scenery. We had a Buzzard hovering nearby just like that (though minus that great backdrop of the sun).ReplyDelete
Paula (PEP)
I absolutely adore this card. The scene is so serene and peaceful. Pink may not be your thing, but you've done so well with it here. And I'm not sure we quite believe you that it isn't your thing with all those pink inks you own! Although, I do know it is hard to find a good pink. I am still lacking a good one myself.ReplyDelete
reminds me of a beautiful wild sunset. Fab card.ReplyDelete
I think it works brilliantly, Sally, I absolutely love it! A beautifully serene scene, and the bird is perfectly placed. Strangely, considering I don't do pink either, I'm rather liking how all those different shades work together. And especially how you got the variation in tones on the maple leaves. xReplyDelete
Let me say your pink worked very well! I could see the morning sunrise over the mountaintops. You captured the softness & serenity of that glowing light & the pinks, lavendars perfectly with your shades on this scene. Sure doesn't appear that pink is outside your comfort zone.

Light, Warm and Packable!
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Fit: Runs small
Bought this item to wear on a PCT thru hike and boy was I impressed. This jacket is everything that you are looking for in a down piece. The only qualm I have with this particular jacket is that it seems to run a little short, but other than that this is a bomber purchase that I would recommend to anyone in the market.

text: RealViz has announced updates to three of the four tools that make up its Image Processing Factory. MatchMover and ImageModeler all gain new features, which Stitcher will be made available in a version specifically for Kaidan's line of panoramic tripod heads. All three will be shown for the first time at the NAB show in Las Vegas next week. Camera-tracking software MatchMover has had 3D tracking facilities added. Previously it could only track in 2D. The 3D tracker detects relevant 2D features in the original sequences and reconstructs them into accurate 3D scenes and camera moves, according to the company. Track selection, 2D tracking and 3D tracking are all performed automatically. The company has also upgraded the 2D tracker, which can now take 2D pattern rotation and scale into account. ImageModeler, which builds 3D models from 2D photographs, has been expanded to support 360-degree-x-360-degree panoramas. Users can import panoramic cubes that have been created in the Stitcher panorama tool and extract models and textures. They can even create a fully textured 3D model of a room using only two panoramas taken at different points within it. Users can add an unlimited number of panoramas to increase levels of detail. The version of Stitcher for use with panoramic tripod heads is designed to make the application easier and faster to use – and increase the output quality. Users no longer need to place images in panoramas manually, only entering basic information such as the number of images and horizontal rows. Stitcher then automatically works out which images go where and stitches them all together. MatchMover costs £4,495 plus VAT and ImageModeler costs £3,125 plus VAT, although cheaper versions for individual 3D packages are available. Stitcher costs £500 plus VAT.

The artisans of Ards exhibit their wares
The Ards' district is in for a crafty campaign of activities this month as the annual Creative Peninsula event is set once again on its mission to discover the wealth of local artistic talent.
Ten years on, the Creative Peninsula is still going "as strong as ever", and dozens of artists and craftspeople who live and work in the Ards Borough, will be taking part — throwing open the doors of their normally private workshops to members of the public, demonstrating their skills, and exhibiting their work in venues across the area.
The event starts in full swing this Friday, August 5, when Conway Square in Newtownards becomes a hive of creative activity, with craft and art demonstrations, music, and children's activities.
Organised by Ards Borough Council, a spokesperson said: "New additions to the 2011 event include 'alfresco art', where beginners and experienced artists come together at dawn or dusk to capture for themselves some of the stunning views over Strangford Lough.
"'Gallery Notes' a series of atmospheric recitals will be taking place in Ards Art Centre's Georgian Gallery each Friday lunchtime in August. Violinist, Ruby Colley, Paul McMordie and his guitar, and harpist Ursula Burns will each take their turn contributing to a unique ambiance in the gallery.
"The exhibition itself will feature an exclusive collection of mixed media art and craft from some of the finest local artists and designers, while the Sunburst Gallery will host a collection of some of the finest work being created by the talented GCSE, AS and A level students residing in the borough."
"Other venues across the Ards will all show work from professional artists. The Graffan Gallery at the newly refurbished Castle Espie House will display pieces relating to wildlife and nature.
"The Loft Gallery in Portaferry with its views over the lough, will be home to a body of work which encapsulates the tidal, seasonal and geological changes which have shaped the Ards Peninsula — created by ceramicist, Lindsay Press, and poet Matt Kirkham.
"The new exhibition area in Ards Crafts, 'The Space', will feature a joint exhibition by Yvonne Braithwaite and Judith Lyness, devoted to unique 3D nautical charts.
"There's also the opportunity to purchase a piece of local art or craft from many talented creative people. Tours, workshops, open studio visits and other activities then continue until Sunday August 14."
Brochures are available from Ards Tourist Information Centre, T 028 9182 6846, or visit www.creativepeninsula.info.

Residents living in Frisco's Panther Creek Estates have ample opportunities to mix and mingle as they are located near three parks and two Frisco ISD schools.
But the community, which consists of about 1,000 homes bound by Eldorado Parkway, Coit Road, Panther Creek Parkway and Hillcrest Road, goes beyond taking advantage of its geography to stay connected. It uses tools like Facebook, email blasts, its website and safety committee to keep residents informed.
The community's strategy has helped it earn the No. 1 rank as the safest neighborhood in the area, according to a data analysis by The Dallas Morning News.
"The more you have people more aware of what's going on around them and talk to each other, the safer you are," said Bill Woodard, president of Panther Creek's homeowners association. "So, having that information and making everyone aware is absolutely a key item."
Criteria for The News' analysis were the number of aggravated assaults and burglaries. While the statistics are news to the residents, the ranking doesn't come as a complete shock.
"It doesn't surprise me," Woodard said. "I've always considered this a pretty safe neighborhood."
The Frisco Police Department credits the safety of its communities — three of which ranked in the top five safest neighborhoods, according to The News' study — to its residents and the transfer of information between them.
"We're pretty fortunate we have good people living in Frisco," said Greg Barnett, police spokesman. "We have people that pay attention and practice good personal safety measures."
The most common crimes in Frisco are burglaries, with violent crimes happening "rarely," Barnett said.
"For the most part things are pretty safe here," Woodard said, adding that the only issues Panther Creek deals with are burglaries and minor vandalism of the community pool.
Barnett said the close relationship between the police department and communities, such as Panther Creek Estates, helps improve safety and reduce burglaries. The police department hosts neighborhood speaking engagements upon request, hosts a citywide neighborhood watch meeting once a month and is active in National Night Out festivities.
But Barnett said the department's efforts can only go so far.
"We can drive up and down alleys all day long, but we can't be everywhere at once," he said, adding residents are quick to report crimes. "We can't see all the crimes that are being committed."
Enter the Panther Creek Estates Safety Committee, a group that formed to keep extra eyes on the neighborhood and share crime alerts, safety practices and resources with the community.
The committee, consisting of five residents, heavily relies on electronic media to do its job efficiently.
It meets monthly and communicates any new information it receives from the school district, the police department, the city neighborhood watch meeting or observations from within the community to its residents via email and the HOA website.
It also stays active on the community Facebook page, on which several of the more than 480 members post almost daily.
"I think it does play a major role," said Nichole Griffin, safety committee liaison for the HOA board and former chair of the committee. "Any of the problems we've had always pops up on Facebook, and that allows us to get in front of the problems."
The Facebook page has allowed residents to post photos of vandalism and vandals, which are often teenagers roughhousing, on the page.
Members of the safety committee, each of whom check the page several times a day, can either respond to the post or go even further to try and ID the vandal.
The committee has previously worked with the school district to identify youngsters in the neighborhood and hold them accountable for destruction they have caused.
The committee is also working on installing cameras at the pool areas, which would be motion-activated to take still shots. The goal is to couple the cameras with the community's tight communication system to create a deterrent for vandals.
But safety often goes hand-in-hand with communication, and the majority of the community's connections are just that.
"The more connections you have the more people start to look after each other," Woodard said. "It brings the neighborhood closer because people get to know each other."

Newseum Won't Honor Hamas Journalists
The Newseum is reversing its decision to memorialize two Hamas-linked cameramen after a weekend of criticism from conservative and pro-Israel organizations. The cameramen worked for Al-Aqsa TV, a television network linked to Hamas, and were killed in an Israeli airstrike last November. The Newseum included them in a memorial to fallen journalists. On Friday, they stood by their decision, but today they said that "serious questions" had been raised as to whether the cameramen "were truly journalists or whether they were engaged in terrorist activities."

The cloud, which has so dominated recent news reports and conversations in the commercial and consumer sectors, is rapidly spreading to the design engineering arena. Already, engineers are able to schedule and manage their jobs via cloud-based software. Trials are in progress for cloud-based finite element analysis and optimization tools, and cloud computing potentially can transform the way designers develop, deploy, scale and support infrastructures for technical computing.
Customers of design-engineering firms–for the most part, manufacturers–are adopting the cloud in significant numbers, and are likely to accelerate the transformation among engineers by demanding the same kinds of cost and time savings from their vendors that manufacturers themselves are achieving from their own cloud-computing operations.
Because the cloud offers software, platforms and infrastructure via the Internet through metered access, or subscriptions, manufacturers have been slashing their computing costs. Instead of purchasing, maintaining and upgrading servers, networks and on-premises software, manufacturers can simply incorporate cloud-based applications in their business processes. Furthermore, they are gaining substantial productivity:
- cloud-based programs and systems are available to global companies 24/7;
- they have a higher rate of uptime than most technology installed in the manufacturers' own facilities; and
- they consistently offer the most up-to-date versions of software as soon as they become available, because the applications need only be updated on the cloud servers instead of on individual computers across the manufacturing enterprise.
Organizations have a choice, in fact, of using only cloud-based technology, only their on-premises applications and systems, or a hybrid of both. For hybrid applications, the cloud can add functionality or speed to on-premises software when they are used together.
The Results Are In
A recent Microsoft survey indicated not only that manufacturers understand the benefits of cloud computing, but that they are well along their timelines to implement it. Six out of 10 of the manufacturing IT decision-makers (ITDMs) responding indicated they plan to implement, or have already implemented, cloud-based collaboration tools. Nearly the same proportion is planning or is already using cloud-based productivity applications.
Interestingly, most of those surveyed indicated they are turning to the cloud for tools to manage their security and networks, as well as for file storage and backup. Nearly half of the manufacturing ITDMs are planning to implement or have already built cloud-based e-commerce platforms. While some organizations have hesitated to place their data in the cloud or rely on cloud-based applications because of concerns over security, manufacturing enterprises understand that those fears are largely unfounded. Data failures at individual companies are much more likely than an outage at a cloud provider.
One particular benefit of cloud-based computing is that it enables users to try a broader range of software without needing to commit to an expensive long-term license for applications that they will use only occasionally.
Case in Point
Overall, 44% of the responding ITDMs in manufacturing noted that adoption of cloud computing allows them to improve the bottom line of their company and save money. One organization that has reported these types of gains is Sensata Technologies, a global supplier of sensing, electrical protection, control and power management solutions. The Massachusetts-based company employs more than 9,000 people worldwide.
In examining ways to improve the efficiency of its technology and processes, Sensata's IT department decided to move its email messaging into the cloud, thereby slashing the costs of its on-premises messaging infrastructure while actually improving reliability and scalability. Over a period of four months, Sensata migrated 5,000 mailboxes and several hundred mobile accounts to the cloud. Employees gained the coincidental benefit of instantly upgrading to the most current version of the email application, while the company's savings were spectacular. Moving to online email cut Sensata's email costs in half, trimming $500,000 from its IT budget and freeing IT staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
It's time for design engineers to move beyond reading about the cloud and conversing about cloud computing with colleagues; now is the moment to grasp a competitive edge by reaching for the cloud–for data storage, project scheduling, collaboration and innovations that will help make the earliest adopters the biggest winners.

Talented teenage athletes from across Kent have been chosen to receive support and mentoring by the county's own Olympic athlete Jack Green.
Former Ashford AC star Green, 21, represented TeamGB at London 2012, reaching the semi-finals of the 400m hurdles and finishing just 0.10secs out of bronze medal position in the 4x400m relay.
Green, from Hythe, has handpicked 13 talented youngsters from across the county to form part of the Green Machine Sport talent squad.
Folkestone School for Girls pole vault star Ellie Gooding, 16, is ranked joint-1st in the UK at under-17 level just a year after taking up the event.
Gooding's Ashford AC teammate, Sittingbourne multi-eventer Rhiannon Wallwork, 15, a Highsted Grammar School pupil, formerly of Invicta East Kent AC, was seventh in the England Combined Events Championships last August and is also Kent Schools long-jump champion.
Invicta East Kent AC sisters Bobby and Alex Clay, from Wingham, are among the cream of under-20 distance runners in the UK.
Bobby, who doesn't turn 16 until May, won the cross-country race at the World Schools Championships in Malta last year, with 17-year-old Alex finishing fourth.
Bobby Clay is also an English national champion at cross-country, the 1,500m and 800m while Alex is a national champion over 3,000m, was 19th in the European Cross-Country Championships in Hungary last month and fourth in the Great Edinburgh International meeting in Edinburgh, one place ahead of her sister, who also attends Sir Roger Manwood's School in Sandwich.
Tonbridge School's Charlie Harris, 16, one of four members of Tonbridge AC in the GMS squad, was fifth in the English Schools Championships 400m hurdles last July.
His teammate Sean Molloy, 17, a pupil at Westlands School in Sittingbourne, competed in the 800m at the World Junior Championships in Barcelona in July, finishing fourth in his heat,
Distance runner Max Nicholls, 16, a pupil at Ashford School, was second in the Kent County Cross-Country Championships earlier this month.
Charing thrower Matthew Blandford, 17, another Tonbridge AC member, is English Schools discus champion.
The squad also includes Bexley AC 400m runner Farren Morgan and pole vault ace Ailis McGovern, aswell as 16-year-old Blackheath & Bromley AC sprint twins Shannon and Cheriece Hylton and Dina Asher-Smith, 17, who hopes to land a place in TeamGB for the forthcoming European Indoor Championships.
The group will receive career support and mentoring from Green and his network of contacts, with regular seminars about life in athletics.
Maidstone-born former Brockhill pupil and Mid-Kent College pupil Green explained: "The focus is on their own athletics careers and their academics and we just want to support that. We're there if we're needed."
Despite only turning 21 himself in October, the European under-23 Champion revealed: "I thought it was the right time to do it, despite being at a young age and me not really having won anything yet.
"This is my legacy. It's something I wanted to do at the end of my career but I thought I should do it now because legacy is very current with the London Olympics."

Beginning this weekend, students from across the state will be demonstrating their research abilities, knowledge and creativity in the world's leading program for history education.
The district level competitions for Tennessee History Day are scheduled to take place from Feb. 25 through March 7 in Memphis, Murfreesboro, Knoxville and Chattanooga. More details about the times and locations of the district competitions are available at http://www.tennesseehistory.org/historyday.htm or by calling 615-741-8934.
In the competitions, students in grades six through 12 will present history-themed projects in a variety of formats – including museum-style exhibits, papers, web sites, documentaries and even live performances. Judges are university professors, high school teachers, museum curators, archivists and other public historians.
The winners at the district competition will be eligible to participate in the statewide competition, which will be held at the Legislative Plaza in Nashville on April 2. Winners in the statewide competition advance to the National History Day finals, which will be held in College Park, Maryland in June.
Nationwide, more than half a million students are expected to participate in some level of History Day competition, including 5,000 from Tennessee.
Emma Grace Thompson won a silver medal as an eighth grader last year at the national contest. Her project, titled "Innovation Ends Isolation: The Effect of the Telephone on a Small Appalachian Community," chronicled the effects of technological seclusion in her own community of Coker Creek in East Tennessee.
"By choosing a local topic very pertinent to me, I was able to uncover a sense of pride in my community and myself," she said. "National History Day allows me to reach beyond the mundane dates, facts and figures of standard textbook history into a narrative that is real and relevant even in the modern world. It's a great honor to participate and be named a winner in the National History Day."
Tennessee History Day is organized by the Tennessee Historical Society and sponsored at the state level by the Tennessee Department of State, Humanities Tennessee and the Tennessee General Assembly. This year's theme is Debate and Diplomacy in History: Success, Failures, Consequences. Students are asked to examine how different debates or diplomatic events have shaped the course of history.
Local sponsors for the district competitions include the departments of history at the University of Memphis, Middle Tennessee State University, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville as well as the East Tennessee Historical Society.
"We are proud to sponsor Tennessee History Day for the second year in a row," Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. "History was my favorite subject as a student and I enjoyed meeting students last year who shared that same excitement. We know that history is important and studies have now proven that it results in more productive adult citizens."
Most students begin preparing for the competition soon after the school year begins. Their teachers will brainstorm with them to choose topics and provide them with the guidelines for entering the competition. Students may decide to enter as individuals or as groups.
National History Day's impact goes well beyond the students who participate. Thousands of parents also get involved, making it a family affair. It also provides teachers with a unique teaching method. Vanessa Lutton is the media specialist at Bellevue Middle School and uses the History Day program to teach invaluable research skills.
"It's an excellent venue for teachers to be able to teach a lot of different skills such as compiling research information, developing a professional presentation format and learning to write bibliographies," said Lutton. "All of these things that it teaches can be taken into high school, college and the work place."
Since 1974, National History Day has grown from a Cleveland, Ohio competition with about 100 students to a national academic program.

A TMS DSP Processor Based Case Study of Grigoryan FFT Performance Over Cooley-Tukey FFT (TMS320C6748, TMS320C5515)
Frequency analysis plays vital role in the applications like cryptanalysis, steganalysis, system identification, controller tuning, speech recognition, noise filters, etc. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is a principal mathematical method for the frequency analysis. The way of splitting the DFT gives out various fast algorithms. In this paper, the authors present the implementation of two fast algorithms for the DFT for evaluating their performance. One of them is the popular radix-2 Cooley-Tukey Fast Fourier Transform algorithm (FFT) and the other one is the Grigoryan FFT based on the splitting by the paired transform. They evaluate the performance of these algorithms by implementing them on the TMS320C6748 (fixed point), and TMS320C5515 DSPs.

A MAN who put a message on internet site Facebook that he intended to kill someone before stabbing a man 171 times has been jailed for a minimum of 18-and-a-half years.
Ewan Dow, 25, attacked Daniel Turner, 21, with "determined brutality" in Riverside Park in Glenrothes, Fife, on October 18 last year.
Both lived in the town and were known to each other, but were not friends.
Loading article content
Dow had previously pled guilty to the murder.
Sentencing him at the High Court in Glasgow, Lord Turnbull said he must serve 18-and-a-half years before he is eligible for parole.
The judge said there was no justification for Dow's attack on Mr Turner.
He said: "You had simply decided you would vent your frustration and anger and that he was to serve as the victim for that purpose. He was presumably selected because of his placid manner."
Dow, who had three previous assault convictions, had been binge-drinking for a week and had a "very limited recollection" of what happened.

Boylesports €20 Free Bet Boylesports have been Ireland's leading independent bookmaker with over 20 years experience in the gaming world.For the majority of the past 10 years much of the focus in Boylesports has been on growing their retail base as they now have more than 175 betting shops in the Rep of Ireland. It must be said that their shops are industry leading giving customers a relaxed and friendly environment to place their bets.They recently added to this retail base with the acquisition of 17 William Hill shops as well as numerous Celtic Bookmaker outlets.However, as the retail grow, their online presence failed to move at the same speed. With several issues on their new platform and failed moves into the European market, question marks grew over the future of Boylesports.This now seems to have changed and with their latest release of their new site as well as an excellent new Mobile App, the future looks bright once again for Boylesports both in Ireland and the UK.Their continued sponsorship of the Football Association of Ireland (the FAI) and many Irish race meetings – including Punchestown Festival, Leopardstown and Dundalk races – shows Boylesports are aiming once again to rival Paddy Power in the bookmaking game in Ireland.To get a fantastic Bet €20 Get €20 in free bets from Boylesports – which is exclusive to readers at LiveSport.ie - simply open a new account today.Click here to go to Boylesports and get €20 free bet Read full review » Hits Boylesports is Ireland's leading independent bookmaker.Extremely competitive prices for Irish sports including GAA and Irish Racing.Best Price Guaranteed on ALL Irish Horse Races and Greyhounds Races.Official Betting Partner of the FAI – loads of free tickets for Rep of Ireland games up for grabs.Excellent customer service team with live chat functionality.

They have an excellent product when it comes to soccer in both England and Europe with competitive prices and their transfer specials are fantastic.However we were disappointed to see even a lack of a win-draw-win market for many of the Irish GAA matches (instead just pricing Outright Betting). The opposite seems to be the case for the League of Ireland betting with odds for each game available but no sign of an outright market for the league.

It's official! The New York Knicks re-signed big man Kenyon Martin and Knicks fanatics couldn't be happier about the return.
The forward also known as K-Mart was recently signed to a one year deal and will make about $1.4 million on a veterans minimum contract, according to league sources.
Knicks Executive Vice President and General Manager Glen Grunwald proudly made the big announcement last Thursday on NBA.com
"Kenyon did a fantastic job for us once he signed in February," Grunwald said. "He strengthened our frontline going into an important stretch of the season with some very impressive performances. We are happy to have him back."
The forward known for his toughness and solid defensive play, will be an important asset in the front court, giving addtitomal strength and support to team players Chandler, Carmelo, Bargnani, and the recently signed Metta World Peace.
The free agent joined the Knicks late last season and played in only 18 regular season games. He averaged 7.2 points and 5.3 rebounds in nearly 24 minutes, including 11 starts. In addition, he averaged 5.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 12 playoffs games.
In addition, the 35 year-old NBA star made career averages of 12.8 points and 5.3 rebounds, while playing for the Brooklyn Nets, Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, and the Knicks.
Last February, Martin took to Twitter when he was signed by the Knicks and showed his admiration for being a part of the team.
He posted: "Thanks for all the love in tha city!!! Happy to be a New York Knicks!!! Won't let the city down!!!"
And as Martin has kept his word to his fans in past seasons, Knicks fans seem confident that No.3 wont let them down next season, as many have expressed on social media sites in response to the resigning.
Many Knicks fans couldn't agree more that it was smart for the Knicks to bring back K-Mart.

A few days ago a post appeared on the Something Awful forums noting a curious website called Notes to Mary. The notes are a series of threatening letters from a high schooler named Robert to his crush, Mary. The goons figured out pretty quickly that they had an ARG on their hands and went to work on solving the puzzle. Several other forums picked up on the game. Robert began interacting with players, sending them strange messages and several series of numbers that appeared to be some sort of code. A Flickr pool was started. Players even created an IRC channel to swap clues and information in real time. The Notes to Mary site offered a link to a login. All effort was made to crack the user/pass combo. Finally, several days after the game began, users were finally able to log in. The game was solved. The players would be rewarded for their hard work. Where did the login lead? Here.
