When I was interviewed for one of my first jobs as a communications associate at a Maryland-based PR firm, I found it odd that the interview panel was filled with all women. And upon landing the job, I discovered that the small firm of approximately 100 workers employed roughly 30 men with only one working in the PR division.
But for more proof that women are dominating the PR industry, all that you have to do is go to a major brand's website and look up the public relations director or specialist, chances are you will find a woman listed. And when you see a spokesperson for a company being interviewed by a reporter on TV, it's usually the same gender. So why does the PR industry attract so many women? I decided to do a little research on the topic and what I found was interesting.
The Glitz and Grime of PR
Throughout my 10-year career working in both the public and private sectors, most of my bosses, co-workers or the people that I managed were women. Today, as the owner of a Baltimore/District of Columbia-based PR firm and a media trainer, I am often hired to train spokespeople to become better communicators. And my clients are typically women.
Needless to say, I always wondered why I found myself surrounded by other women. That's not to say that I am not all for "sisterhood" and women climbing the ranks of any industry. I am also a very strong advocate for diversity and the various points of view and great ideas that comes when a company actively recruits and maintains a diverse workforce. However, I have always been a little curious: why are so many women choosing to enter the PR arena?
According to a new study, over 80 percent of the PR industry is dominated by women. When it comes to the industry's largest professional association and the study's authors, Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), over 70 percent or 21,000 members also are women. Well I have been a member of PRSA since I started my first PR job.
In college, however, I was determined to become a hard-news reporter who would one day change the world. So I majored in journalism, wrote for the school newspaper and completed a few internships at local newspapers. After college, I even landed a job at one. But a few years later, I had decided to step over enemy lines after becoming increasingly bored with covering yet another grand-opening for a new grocery store or bakery. And I thought that PR would be more exciting. According to Olga Khazan, a staff writer for The Atlantic, who interviewed a few PR specialists, there are a lot of women in the industry who share the same sediment.
"I think a lot of younger women go into PR because they think they're going to be the glamorous Samantha Jones from Sex and the City where you're opening up restaurants and promoting hot new clubs," Shannon Stubo, vice president of corporate communications at LinkedIn, told Khazan.
Throughout my career, I have found that the profession does offer a lot of glitzy moments. But depending on the firm or company; and whether it's the private or public sector, I must admit that I have found myself often immersed in a little grime too. Brenda Wrigley, chair of the PR department at Syracuse University, told MediaBistro.com that she believes that more women hold PR jobs because "… skills like writing, presentation, and event planning are right up their alley".
On the other hand, Arik Hanson, the principal of ACH Communications, offered a variety of interesting hypotheses about why there are more women and very little men working in the PR industry, including the higher salaries offered in other male-dominated professions. Hanson's theory encouraged me, for obvious reasons, to investigate further.
Women vs. Men in PR
The idea that men still earn more money than women in a field that women dominate left my feathers a little ruffled. So I did a little more research and found: public relations specialists earned a median wage of $54, 170 annually in 2012, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). For entry-level women, says the BLS, it goes up slightly to an average of $55,000, while their male counterparts earned over $20,000 more.
The overall starting salary for a PR specialist with one to five years of experience working in the public sector earned anywhere from over $35,000 to $60,000; and those with more than five years of experience can expect a starting salary of between $59, 000 and $82, 000, says Robert Half International, a global staffing firm. However, the vice president of a PR firm can earn $110,000 to over $185,000 annually with 80 percent of men holding these top positions. Needless to say, I was extremely bothered by these statistics.
Men Typically Avoid PR
Addition theories that Hanson discussed included how the media stereotypes women in PR industry; and the fact that men, especially journalists, simply can't wrap their hands around what the field entails. However, the most thought-provoking one was his final theory: that it's a "generational issue".
"Sons grow up watching their fathers," said Hanson. "Many fathers work in industries like finance, engineering, construction and the like."
In other words, men tend to become more like their fathers than their mothers who typically work in the PR industry. This theory does ring true. However, PR jobs are poised for signification growth—by over 10 percent annually, while the journalism industry continues to dwindle. And "PR people now outnumber journalists three to one," says Khazan. As a result, I think that many women in the PR industry will start to see their daughters and sons following in their footsteps instead of the father's.
As for me, I don't have any regrets about my decision to move from a short stint in journalism to a long-lasting career in PR. Besides, I have enjoyed and learned so much, over the years, from working with a bunch of creative and very talented women.

Starting Salaries to Rise in 2012 as Hiring Gets Tougher
According to Marketingterms.com, a "call to action" is the part of a marketing message that attempts to persuade a person to perform a desired action. In addition, it persuades a visitor to perform a certain undertaking immediately. The most common calls are "Buy Now!" and "Register Today!" says Marketingterms.com.
In other words, the goal of a call to action is to generate "buzz" and rally your troops or target audiences to respond immediately. When it comes to PR professionals, a call to action is the Holy Grail in terms of developing an effective awareness campaign and generating substantial stakeholder and media interest.
"That kind of exposure is bound to prompt at least a few customers and/or prospects to check out, say, your website or Facebook page and, ideally, purchase your products and services," says Matthew Schwartz, a PRNews' contributor. "But generating that kind of earned media isn't always a given, and PR pros are on the hook to find other ways to get fannies in the proverbial seats."
Schwartz used the following infographic by Uberflip, a content marketing firm, to illustrate how PR professionals use a call to action and which ones are more commonly practiced:
Are you still struggling with finding innovative ways to get noticed and be heard on social media? After all, even the most established brands find themselves in a constant virtual battle to cut through the clutter and noise to remain relevant. According to Exact Target's 2014 State of Marketing Report, more brands are including the "fine art of listening" in their social media strategies.
The report, which analyzes marketers' responses to a variety of questions about their future strategies and how they're gauging their success, found 60 percent of marketers were using social listening strategies in 2013 and 24 percent plan to do so in 2014. The sad news is that only 31 percent of marketers think their social listening is fully effective. The key to effective social listening strategies, however, is to go beyond your Hootsuite account. It's all about hearing what your various publics (customers, business partners, constituencies, employees, etc.) have to say and collaborating internally and externally to meet their expectations.
So who should be actively listening? According to the report, social media teams are becoming more common, with 57 percent of respondents having a dedicated team to strategize, execute and steward social media initiatives, including using social listening strategies. Over 45 percent of survey respondents said their social media team size was one person, compared with 40 percent whose team size was 2-3 people. Over five percent had a social team with 4-5 people, and just 8 percent had a team of 5 or more. On smaller social teams and bigger teams alike, efficiency is crucial.
That is to say that it's no longer good enough to have the office intern dub as the social media specialist. Making the investment in hiring a team dedicated to increasing your brand's presence on social media now will reap social marketing success later. Typically, your social media "dream team" should be composed of at least three people or fewer. Once you set up your dream team and develop your social marketing strategy, remember to include a section on content marketing which has become "the king" of reaching your target audience.
According to Harsh Ajmera, owner of Digital Insights, you need to follow the 80-20 rule; 80 percent efforts in content marketing and 20 percent in duration. In addition, you should never consider social media marketing trends without evaluating broader trends in digital marketing and content marketing in particular. Content marketing fuels success in social media marketing and is crucial to many other digital marketing techniques like SEO, SEM, E-mail marketing, and CRO.

Although you are still very young, you have already captured the hearts of the entire world. Admittedly, after 25 years, we have all become addicted to your creative energy, flashy colors and vibrant sounds. And you have given us the gift of communication that has enabled us to connect, at the speed of light, with everyone from friends to former colleagues. Because of you, today we can bond with complete strangers from the other side of world over issues we ALL have in common.
In order to mark your 25th birthday, the Pew Research Center has released a new survey that provides an overview of your growth and impact:
- 87 percent of American adults now use the internet, with near-saturation usage among those living in households earning $75,000 or more (99 percent), young adults ages 18-29 (97 percent), and those with college degrees (97 percent).
- 68 percent of adults connect to the internet with mobile devices like smartphones or tablet computers.
- 90 percent of internet users say the internet has been a good thing for them personally and only 6 percent say it has been a bad thing, while 3 percent volunteer that it has been some of both.
- 76 percent of internet users say the internet has been a good thing for society, while 15 percent say it has been a bad thing and 8 percent say it has been equally good and bad.
The survey— based on data from telephone interviews conducted from January 2014 among a sample of 1,006 adults ages 18 and older— also shows how you have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives. Over 50 percent of internet users say the internet would be, at minimum, "very hard" to give up, compared with 38 percent in 2006. Among those internet users who said it would be very hard to let you go, 61 percent said being online was essential for work or other reasons.
From the marketing executive who uses you to gather customer information to the student who uses you to conduct research for a school paper and the college grad who uses you to search for a job, you have become the go-to source for information. Today, you are a matchmaker, phone book, shopping network, data storage and management service, and a social hub. Most people believe that you are responsible for their relationships with family and friends.
According to the Pew Research Center, 67 percent of internet users say their online communication with family and friends has generally strengthened those relationships. For proof of your ability to keep families together, just ask the grandparents who now have Facebook pages. They have discovered, as awkward as it might be, that you provide them with a way to be "cool" while keeping track of their grandkids. This also holds true people who use you to connect with other long-distance family members.
The bottom line is that you have become a global village of immediate information. And you have given us freedom and a voice with our very own forum that we can use anyway we see fit. For that, we thank you!
Now that you have officially joined "the rat race" to capture your share of the 72 percent of American adults'—using social media— attention, have you identified your metrics? Are you meeting your ROI expectations?
After all, you developed a strategic plan, joined a few social media networks, hired a social media specialist, and established a substantial fan base. And you are using services like Google Analytics and YouTube insights to measure the efficacy of your online presence.
What else can you do?
One suggestion is to check out your competitors' social media presence and ask yourself the following questions:
- What strategies are they using to recruit loyal brand promoters? i.e., promotional contest, coupons, etc.
- How are they converting visitors into customers?

Naming a Second Baby, Royal Style
The announcement that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a second child has set off a new round of royal baby name madness. I myself offered up some suitably regal options to The Stir. Most of my suggestions were repeats from the list I suggested back in 2012 — minus George, which is now big brother's name.
But is royal baby naming the same the second time around? Most parents find that the naming process changes with each child. Unlike most parenting experiences, baby naming gets harder with practice. Every name we choose narrows our options for the next child.
To start with, we can assume Prince George's parents will be crossing his name of their list. All of his name. Despite their long strings of names, the Windsors try to avoid duplication among siblings. Consider William and Harry's full names:
William Arthur Philip Louis
Henry Charles Albert David
We can also assume that they'll be looking at their family tree for inspiration, and avoiding the names of close living relatives. So far, this naming process sounds no different from any parents', provided that those parents favor an ultra-traditional Anglo style.
But for most families, my number one principle of sibling naming is fairness. For instanced, if your first son is a Junior, make sure the other kids also receive names with special family significance. If your first two daughters are Parker and Emerson, don't name daughter #3 Fifi. Sibling names don't have to match, but they should make it clear that all of your kids are created equal.
In a royal family, that's a hard message to send. From birth, the princely brothers William and Harry were decidedly, publicly unequal. William was the heir to the British throne; Harry was the backup. So will it be with George and his little brother or sister.
In theory that could take a little of the pressure off of the second name choice, giving the parents a little more leeway to express their own name style. I can't imagine the royal couple will take that route, though. I'm confident that they'll choose a name that's just as traditional and just as ready to take the throne as George. Going back to the original name list, then, makes sense. Just cross of the names George, Alexander and Louis, and proceed as you did the first time: as if you're naming the future King or Queen of England.
Maybe we can all take a lesson from that approach to younger siblings. It's easy to get caught up in "sibsets" and how your kids' names sound together. But in the end, each individual name has to be ready to rule on its own.
Top royal baby name options:
The Surprising Story Behind One of the World's Top Brand Names
Brand name or baby name?
That's the obvious question about Mercedes, a traditional Spanish religous name that's also one of the world's best-known luxury brands. It turns out, though, that the question only scratches the surface of this name's complex history. Please join me for a tale of language and literature, religion and commerce; the tale of a single name.
The Spanish word mercedes means boons or favors. (Think of the English cognate "mercy" as a heavenly boon.) Mercedes became a girl's name in Spanish via a title of the Virgin Mary: Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes, or "Our Lady of Divine Favors."
It's a big leap from pious gratitude in Spain to luxury automobiles in Germany. That part of the story begins in the late 1800s in Stuttgart, Germany, home of the Daimler Motors Corporation. A small but innovative engine company, Diamler had just begun to produce automobiles. In 1896, a businessman named Emil Jellinek visited the company and ordered one of their new Phoenix motorcars.
Jellinek had grown up in Vienna, the son of a prominent Czech-Austrian rabbi. He was a restless and indifferent scholar, and was sent abroad to make his fortune. This he did admirably, establishing himself as both a diplomat and entrepreneur. By the 1890s he was a successful businessman living on the French Riviera, and a passionate enthusiast of the new sport of auto racing.
For Daimler Motors, Emil Jellinek became a combination of sales partner, wealthy patron, and client from hell. He admired Daimler's engineering enough to become the company's overseas distributor, but also badgered the company about their cars' shortcomings.
Ultimately, Jellinek offered Daimler a huge sum if they would deliver a new sports car designed to his long list of personal specifications. These included a longer wheelbase, lighter engine, lower center of gravity, and electric ignition. Jellinek also decreed that the new automobile should be named for his daughter, Mercédès, who was born in Baden, Austria in 1884. He felt that her name brought good luck and he applied it to many of his ventures, even using it as his own pseudonym when he entered races.
In a sobering example for designers everywhere, this pushy client was right. Very right. The Daimler Mercedes 35 HP, as imagined by Jellinek, stunned the racing world and revolutionized the industry. It is often referred to as the first modern automobile. The car was so acclaimed that Daimler quickly adopted the Mercedes brand name for all of their automobiles.
In the wake of this success, Jellinek changed his own surname to Jellinek-Mercedes, reportedly saying "This is probably the first time that a father has taken his daughter's name.""
That's the oft-told tale of the origin of the Mercedes brand name. It suffices from an automotive history perspective, but when it comes to names, we need to go deeper. Why "Mercedes"? How did an Austrian Jewish girl get a Spanish Catholic name to begin with?
This is my own speculation, but I believe the written accents on the name Mercédès Jellinek point to the answer. Those accents are neither German nor Spanish, but French.
French novelist Alexandre Dumas gave the name Mercédès to an exotic Spanish beauty in his adventure novel The Count of Monte Cristo. The accents served to clarify the foreign name's pronunciation for his French readers. (Before the novel's publication, the name Mercédès was not used in France.) The Count of Monte Cristo was spectacularly popular for many years throughout Europe, and especially in France where Emil Jellinek lived on and off starting in his teens. And in pitching the name Mercedes to Daimler, Jellinek described it as "exotic and attractive" — much like the book character.
I think it's a fair conjecture that he took the name, complete with its French accents, from the Dumas novel. That would make the emblem of German engineering a product of French literature, with Spanish Catholic origins, via an Austrian Jew. Nobody said names were simple.
Retro Macho Baby Names
Today's macho names are turbocharged. They're as sleek and dangerous as a bomber jet, and they're not shy about telling you so. Boys' names that sound big (Maxx), fast (Blaze), powerful (Zeus), and deadly (Cannon) are soaring.
But suppose you want a name that's tough and manly, but titanium-free? A name than summons up an image of formidable real-life men, rather than weapons or avatars?
Let me take you back to an age of macho past. The names below are generations past their heyday. They won't be mistaken for superheroes, and they may not offer the same schoolyard cool as a name like Stryker or Blade. On the plus side, though, the macho vision they embody is achievable. They hold out a promise of toughness and manliness within human proportions.

A hand gun is completely concealed within a gun carrying pack. The pack is mounted on a wearer by a belt around the wearer's waist. The pack has a pouch, concealed behind an additional belt strap and clip, for carrying a hand gun. The pouch has front and rear walls. The front wall is permanently attached to the rear wall at the bottom and on one side, but releasably attached by two zippers located on a zipper track at the top and on the other side. The pouch completely conceals a hand gun carried within the pouch. The additional belt strap and clip are connected across the zipper track at the top corner between the releasably attached top and side. By unclipping the additional belt strap and clip, a wearer can pull open the zippers to open the pouch to access the hand gun carried within.
1. A gun pack, comprising:
a pouch defining an enclosure for a gun, said pouch accessible by an opening along a portion of its periphery, and releasable fasteners on said pouch for closing said opening;
a belt attachable to a person's waist, said pouch being attachable to said belt; and
a clip having a portion thereof attached to said belt and adapted to engage another portion of said clip attached to said pouch for maintaining said pouch closed and being located with respect to said releasable fasteners such that said pouch enclosure cannot be accessed without disengaging said clip portions.
2. A gun pack, comprising:
a pouch defined by a front wall and a rear wall, said front wall and said rear wall permanently attached at one side and at a bottom portion of said front wall and said rear wall, and said front wall and said rear wall releasably attached by fasteners at another side thereof and at a top portion of said front wall and said rear wall;
a belt, attached to said rear wall of said pouch; and
a first portion of a clip connected to said belt and attachable to a second portion of a clip, said second portion of said clip attached to said front wall of said pouch such that said first portion of said clip engages said second portion of said clip across said fasteners that releasably attach said front wall and said rear wall.
3. A gun pack as recited in claim 2, wherein said front wall and said rear wall are each constructed with a fill material therein.
4. A gun pack as recited in claim 2, wherein said fasteners are zippers.
5. A gun pack as recited in claim 2, further comprising a pocket attached to said front wall of said pouch.
6. A gun pack as recited in claim 7, further comprising a pocket attached to said front wall of said pouch.
The present invention relates generally to the field of pouches or packs for carrying a gun on one's person.
There are many situations when a person authorized to carry a hand gun wants to completely conceal the hand gun. For example, undercover, off-duty or plain-clothes law enforcement officers often have need to completely conceal a hand gun in situations where they are not wearing a jacket, and without providing significant discomfort. However, while concealment of the hand gun is desirable, the wearer must have ready access to the hand gun in emergency situations.
The present invention is directed to a gun pack that allows a wearer to completely hide a hand gun on his or her person, yet position the hand gun so that it is readily accessible for a "quick draw". This is provided according to present invention by utilizing a specially-designed gun pack which looks like a conventional carrying pouch often worn by men and women around the waist as a utilitarian article of fashion, which is sometimes referred to as a "fanny pack." However, the gun pack has a pouch formed by a front wall that is readily detachable from a rear wall to expose a hand gun carried within the pack. The gun pack can be attached by a belt to the wearer's waist.
According to one aspect of the present invention, a gun pack is provided, comprising: a rear wall of a pouch having a top, a bottom and side portions; a front wall of a pouch having a top, a bottom and side portions, permanently attached to the rear wall at the bottom portions of both walls and at one side portion of both walls, and defining a pouch between the front and rear walls for carrying a hand gun; readily releasable fastener means attaching the front wall and rear wall at the top portions and other side portions of both walls; means for mounting the backing on a wearer; and a strap with a releasable clip attached between the strap and the rear wall.
The readily releasable fastener means preferably comprise two zippers located on a single zipper track. The front and rear walls are preferably formed of a textile material (fabric), such as nylon, and preferably contain foam padding inside in order to hold a hand gun securely within the pouch.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide for the effective concealment, yet ready access to, a hand gun. This and other objects of the invention will become clear from an inspection of the detailed description of the invention, and from the appended claims.
A preferred embodiment of the system and method of the present invention is illustrated in and by the following drawings in which like reference numerals indicate like parts and in which:
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view showing the gun pack in its closed position with a gun carried inside a pouch;
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view showing the gun pack in its open position and showing a gun carried inside being partial removed from the pouch;
FIG. 3 is a side cross-sectional view of the gun pack, taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 1, illustrating padding within the front and rear walls of the pouch for holding the gun securely within the rear pouch.
A gun pack according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 by the general reference number designation 10. The gun pack 10 is worn on the wearer's body at a convenient or "fashionable" position, as by utilizing a textile material belt 12 which has a belt clip 14 for opening and closing the belt around the wearer's waist. The belt clip 14 is preferably comprised of conventional male and female fasteners. The belt 12 also preferably contains an adjustment piece 16 to facilitate adjustment of the length of the belt for the wearer's comfort. While a belt 12 is shown, a shoulder strap, or other attachment device for mounting the gun pack 10 on the wearer, may be provided.
As seen more clearly in FIG. 2, the gun pack 10 has a pouch 20 for carrying a hand gun 22 in a readily accessible position. The gun pack 10 is shown with the pouch 20 in the closed position in FIG. 1, such that the hand gun 22 is concealed in the closed pouch 20.
The pouch 20 is formed by a rear wall 32 and a front wall 34. The belt 12 is attached to the rear wall 32. The rear and front walls 32, 34 may be made of a wide variety of materials. As shown in FIG. 3, the rear and front walls are preferably constructed of a textile material such as nylon, and filled with a stiff but flexible fill material 39, such as foam rubber. The fill material 39 acts to secure the hand gun 22 in the pouch 20 while the wearer is moving while wearing the gun pack 10, thereby obviating the need for a holster within the pouch that might restrict the insertion and removal of the hand gun 22 from the pouch 20.
Both the rear and front walls 32, 34 have top, bottom and side portions. The rear and front walls 32, 34 are preferably permanently attached, by sewing, at their bottom portions 36 and at one side portion 38. The rear and front walls 32, 34 are releasably attached by a top zipper 50, for opening and closing the pouch 20 at the top portion 42 of the rear and front walls 32, 34, and by a side zipper 52, for opening and closing the pouch 20 at side portion 44 of the rear and front walls 32, 34.
The gun pack 10 is additionally provided with a concealing strap 60 attached to the side portion 44 of the front wall 34. The concealing strap 60 is attached to a female portion 64b of a concealing clip 64. The male portion of the concealing clip 64 is attached to the belt 12, near where the belt is attached to the rear wall 32 of the pouch 20. When the pouch 20 is closed, the zippers 50, 52 are located near each other near the top side corner of the gun pack 10, near the concealing clip 64. By inserting the male portion 64a into the female portion 64b of the concealing clip 64, thereby closing the clip, the concealing clip 64 is attached across the zippered opening (formed by zippers 50, 52) of the pouch 20, thereby acting as a further security against inadvertent opening of the pouch 20 containing the hand gun 22. Additionally, with the concealing clip 64 closed across the zippered opening of the pouch 20, the clip acts to conceal the existence of the pouch 20 containing the handgun 22. Thus the concealing clip 64 appears to be a normal clip attached to the belt 12, and acts to hide the existence of a pouch at the rear of the gun pack 10.
The concealing clip 64 and front concealing strap 60 have a further advantage in providing a form of handle by which to open the pouch 20 very rapidly, and then providing easy, quick access to the handgun 22 inside. By unclipping the concealing clip 64 on the gun pack 10 as shown in FIG. 1 in the closed position, the wearer may then pull the front concealing strap 60 (which is attached to the front wall 34) forward. This pulling action will translate to the front wall 34, pulling it away from the rear wall 32, which then forces the zippers 50, 52 to move into the open position shown in FIG. 2.
In the typical method of utilization of the gun pack 10, the wearer inserts the hand gun 22 in the pouch 20, and pulls the zippers 50, 52 into the closed position as shown in FIG. 1. Then, the wearer closes the concealing clip 64 across the zippers 50, 52, as shown in FIG. 1. If quick, easy access to the gun 22 is desired, the wearer opens the concealing clip 64, and pulls on the front concealing strap 60 to pull the pouch 20 open. Then, the wearer inserts his or her hand into the pouch 20, secures his or her hand around the hand gun 22, and removes the hand gun 22.
It is also desirable to provide one or more pockets 70, 71 in the front wall 34, accessible from the exterior of the gun pack 10. The pockets 70, 71 are preferably closed by zippers 72, 73. While it is desirable that the pockets 70, 71 be useful as real pockets, for carrying ammunition or other articles, they may merely be simulated pockets and provide only a further disguising function causing the gun pack 10 to look as much like a conventional carrying pouch as possible.

IBM has invented technology that reduces the size of static random access memory (SRAM) cells in memory chips, which could let processors perform faster while using less power. The technology shrinks the cells to 22 nanometers and lets IBM add more functions, such as animation or 3D graphics capabilities, to processors. IBM conducted the SRAM research at the University of Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering with several partners, including Advanced Micro Devices and Toshiba. (Computerworld)
In a paper published online, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University detail the results of their reCaptcha program. The program uses captcha technology to help digitize old books and newspapers. The researchers report that the program is more than 99 accurate. During the program's first year, 1.2 billion reCaptchas were solved and more than 440 million words have been correctly deciphered. The program uses optical character recognition (OCR) to scan text; when the OCR technology can't recognize words or phrases, it creates images of the indecipherable text. These images are then used as captchas on Web sites to prevent spam or automated email registrations. The reCaptchas system compares each image to several others to determine if the deciphered words are correct. Carnegie Mellon's researchers estimate that more than 100 million reCaptchas are solved each day and 4 million words are transcribed. (Science Daily)
A federal judge has refused to lift a restraining order against three MIT students in a case involving the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) and the students' presentation showing a hack of the MBTA's e-ticketing system. The presentation was scheduled for the Defcon convention in Las Vegas, but was scrapped when the MBTA sued to stop the presentation, claiming the students had not given it enough time or information to assess the vulnerabilities. Though the presentation was cancelled, slides from the demonstration were on a CD that Defcon attendees received and are now publicly available. The order will remain in effect until August 19 when a hearing is scheduled. (Computerworld)
Researchers from the WiMax Extension to Isolated Research Data (WEIRD) project have developed a volcano monitoring system that harnesses the power and flexibility of WiMax. The system uses the Diameter protocol, which identifies and prioritizes data from volcanic monitors so high-priority data isn't blocked by less important network traffic. The WEIRD researchers combined WiMax with software they developed for next-generation networks so that monitoring signals will be exchanged from end to end regardless of the underlying network. For applications that aren't designed to run on NGNs, the researchers created adaptors they call WEIRD agents or WEIRD application programming interfaces. In addition, they developed software that lets researchers easily make end-to-end connections without the need for specialized training. Using remote cameras, the researchers can also zoom in on trouble spots and receive data from them. WEIRD researchers will use the system to monitor activity from Mount Vesuvius in Italy and volcanoes in Iceland. (Science Daily)
Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed CloudAV, an antivirus system that uses the cloud computing approach to ward off malicious software. Traditional antivirus software scans documents and programs as they are accessed and typically uses only one antivirus detector to keep performance requirements low. CloudAV, however, uses 12 antivirus detectors that work in parallel to analyze each incoming file. The system puts each antivirus detector in a virtual machine to avoid technical incompatibilities and security issues. Networked computers access CloudAV through a software interface that detects new documents as they're received or requests to run applications. The system sends the requested item to CloudAV for analysis. The researchers hope to extend the system to devices that don't have the memory or processing power to run antivirus software, such as cell phone or other mobile devices. (Science Daily)
Adobe has advised users to stay away from Flash Player updates that don't come directly from its servers after a spam outbreak that tries to trick users into installing malware. The spam purports to come from CNN.com, Facebook, and MySpace, and includes links to the news site's top news stories and video clips. The links, however, pop up a window advising users to upgrade their Flash Player software. Users who click on the link install a Trojan that installs malware. Users who try to cancel out of the window are thrust into an endless loop of popup windows and must shut down the browser to get ride of the window. Security researchers estimate that roughly 1,000 hacked sites are hosting the phony Flash Player update. MX Logic, a security company, estimates more than 160 million spam messages have been sent in the attack. (Computerworld)
The US National Science Foundation has provided US$2 million in funding for the GreenLight project at UC San Diego (UCSD). The project's goal is to make computing processes more energy efficient by using photonics—light over optical fiber. As part of the project, researchers will measure energy consumption and output using sensors and make the data available to researchers in real time. The project will use Sun Modular Datacenter S20s, which can house up to 280 servers in an environmentally friendly design that uses closed-loop water-cooling systems to reduce cooling costs by up to 40 percent compared to traditional server rooms. GreenLight's data center will provide computing and storage services to projects in metagenomics, ocean observing, microscopy, bioinformatics, and digital media. Some of the research groups participating in the project will relocate servers to the data center and work virtually over UCSD's high-performance network. (Science Daily)
In September, Google plans to begin shipping the Search Appliance GB-7007, an updated search box that can index up to 10 million documents. The Search Appliance is a hardware box loaded with search software that lets enterprises index and retrieve data across their corporate data infrastructures. The GB-7007 builds on the GB-1001, which has a maximum indexing load of 3 million documents. The GB-7007 can't be clustered, so Google will still produce the GB-1001, which can be clustered in configurations of five or eight units to provide indexing capabilities for up to 10 million or 30 million documents respectively. The GB-7007 also lets IT administrators tailor search results based on user types—employees in accounting will receive different results than those in marketing when searching on similar terms. Additionally, the GB-7007 natively supports the Kerberos authentication protocol. (Techworld)
At the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, IBM released the HPC Open Software Stack, software designed to facilitate the deployment of supercomputer clusters. Included in the software are the Extreme Cluster Administration Toolkit (xCAT), developed for large clusters using IBM's Power architecture, and Advance Toolchain for Power Systems 1.1, a resource management tool. HPC Open Software supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 and IBM Power6 processors. The National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois is hosting the software for download from its repository. (ZDNet UK)
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ordered Comcast to stop throttling P2P traffic on its networks. Comcast must comply with the FCC's request by the end of this year. Press reports in 2007 revealed Comcast's networking throttling—which was conducted without notifying subscribers. In a statement, FCC chairman Kevin Martin likened Comcast's actions to the post office screening mail and withholding delivery. "Would you be OK with the post office … if they opened letters mailed to you, decided that because the mail truck is full sometimes, letters to you could wait, and then hid both that they read your letters and delayed them? Unfortunately, that is exactly what Comcast was doing with their subscribers' Internet traffic." If Comcast fails to comply with the FCC's order, it faces an injunction and penalties.

Are you as involved in your childs education as you would like to be? See what new research shows about parent engagement in our schools.
Whether it is helping a child with homework, volunteering at a school event or simply working with teachers when an issue arises, parents are taking an active role in our schools. A recent survey shows that levels of parent involvement are increasing. But, there is always room for the school division to create new opportunities for parents and the community to become in engaged. We wanted to know how satisfied parents are with current opportunities and what barriers may be keeping them from being more involved. The school division recently worked with the local research firm Issues and Answers to survey parents about their involvement and communication needs. You can learn more about the survey and see the results here.

The Algarve region
Lagos is a beautiful town in the western Algarve. It is a traditional town with its origins dating as far back as 200 years BC. Lagos has retained its Portuguese charm and heritage and the older parts of town are still bound by its 16th century walls.
The weather in the Algarve is warm year-round, enjoying approximately 300 days of sunshine, with fairly steady temperatures. On hot summer days in July and August, the Atlantic offers a refreshing cool down.
The beaches in Lagos are some of the best in the Algarve and include the wonderful 4kms of golden sands along Meia Praia, Batata Beach just across the road from the town centre, Dona Ana Beach with its spectacular rock formations nestling beneath the cliffs, the small, sheltered Camilo Beach on the way to Ponta de Piedade and the beautiful sandy bay of Porto de Mós Beach.
The apartment is in a superb location within a few minutes of the award winning marina and ten minutes walk, across the pedestrianised footbridge to the historic old town. There are so many things to do in Lagos and there really is something for everyone.
Eating Out - Lagos marina has a good selection of bars and restaurants and the old town caters for all tastes with plenty of Portuguese restaurants as well as Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai and Mediterranean. There are also some excellent beach restaurants along Meia Praia.

"Superb experience"
Having travelled extensivley over the last 40 years visiting over 30 countries I must admit every time you book there is at least a few minor and sometimes major problems.On this occassion from the details of travel from the airport to the apartment,the apartment itself and the location everything was perfect.The apartment itelf has everything require to have a perfect holiday.
We do not cook on holiday apart from a sandwhich at lunch but if you wanted to have a self catering holiday everything is available at the apartment.
There are more than sufficient resteraunts available in the marina and many good eateries available in the old town.
I will be returning to Portugal in Sept/Oct and will definatly stay at the same apartments if available

Jatin Das, Indian Painter
Jatin das, the multifaceted artist was the part of Indian art for more than four decades
Jatin Das is the part of
Indian art
for more than four decades with his paintings which depicts the new and dynamic ways of sketching human figures, man-woman relationship consisting of their crisis, contacts and disclosures, emotional tensions etc. He is the master of using colors in an exceptional way, which seem to reveal the tinges of every emotional expression in his paintings. The linear arrangement and brisk brushwork further add a unique dimension to his art works and express the inner energy of the figures.
Jatin Das was born in the year 1941 in the Mayurbhanj District in
. He received his training in the field of art at Sir J.J.School of Art in Bombay. He was enrolled there for a period of five years, from 1957 to 1962. Thereafter he started participating in Art exhibitions both at national as well as international level. Some important exhibitions where he participated include the Biennales in Paris (1971), Venice (1978) and the Documenta in Kessel (1975). During the period of 1965 to 1991, Jatin Das arranged thirty-seven solo exhibitions, both national and international. In 1991, Lalit Kala Academy held a retrospective of his works. He attended twelve artist camps and four workshops and even offered his valuable art works in fourteen charity shows in India.
Fourteen limited editions of his theme-based graphics and narrative drawings have been taken out in India,UK and Germany. Jatin das served as the Consultant to the Handicraft Board for the seven northeastern states in India for the `Festival in India` organized in Russia.
Jatin Das had been a teacher at the Jamia Milia University, School of Planning and Architecture and the prestigious National School of Drama. Besides paintings he is involved in other activities too like he is the member of the jury board for the National Film Festival and one of the founder member of the poetry society, New Delhi. Jatin das has also made many exquisite murals for numerous public as well as private buildings.
Jatin Das believes that painting is intensely personal experience, the result of which cannot always be shared with others. The man-woman relationship, their sorrow and joy attracts Jatin to paint, which is mainly characterized by rhythmic discontinuities of color plains and rushing lines and the inherent energy and emotions of the figures are reflected by colors. In particular his nude paintings brought him acclaim in 1960s and 70s.
Presently Jatin Das is living and working in the capital city of India, New Delhi.

McCartney: Beatles online music deal 'virtually done'
The Beatles' music catalog may soon be available for sale online, according to Paul McCartney. The former Beatle told Billboard magazine that a deal to put the band's music online is "virtually settled." Following a settlement between Apple Inc. and the Beatles' Apple Corps. earlier this year, there has been much speculation as to when the Beatles' catalog would be released on the iTunes Store. Apple Corps executive Neil Aspinall recently confirmed that the entire works of the Beatles were in the process of being remastered for a digital release. McCartney's new album, "Memory Almost Full," will be his first solo release available for download online. It will be available from iTunes and other stores on June 5th.

McCartney released his "Chaos & Creation In The Back Yard" in 2005 to online stores. You'd think there's fact checkers or something out there, particularly at Billboard.

The Good News: The Beatles catalog appears to be one step closer to appearing on iTunes.
The Bad News: We have no idea how many steps it takes to get there.
Judging by the various news articles on iLounge, it seems like we've already taken over a dozen steps, but we're still not there yet.
Posted by BJ Nemeth on May 11, 2007 at 2:23 PM (CDT)
Honestly….is there anyone at this point who doesn't have the Beatles albums who wants them?
And I'm not talking about "illegal" downloading….Everything is available on cd….I can't see anyone waiting all this time to download something that wouldn't even be the same quality as the cd.
When they could just go out and pick up the discs.
Posted by Jeff on May 11, 2007 at 4:07 PM (CDT)
These are remastered, there is going to be a decent market for remastered Beatles works, believe me.
Posted by mike on May 11, 2007 at 5:13 PM (CDT)
I cant believe anyone cares. If you like the beatles you've already downloaded thier music.
Posted by Kyle Armstrong on May 12, 2007 at 12:15 PM (CDT)
Legal battles and greed have prevented their music online legally. Yes In deed who does not already own many/most/all of their cds.
Rare and re-mastered cuts will sell most likely.
It will be nice to see their music available finally and place them in itunes for the future.
Steve is a huge beatle fan, what a great day for Apple.

Who said these would be remastered?
Posted by Greg on May 15, 2007 at 12:49 AM (CDT)
I haven't bought the CDs because they are usually in the $18CAD range which is way too much. I have a bunch of Beatles stuff on Vinyl and I got the odd best of collection (Singles, 1). I'm hoping they offer the entire catalogue like they did with U2 for a decent price.
Posted by Fink on May 15, 2007 at 8:14 AM (CDT)
Who said these would be remastered?
Neil Aspinall said it—its in the article, and its been reported elsewhere.
Its about time too.

If any of you haven't heard The Beatles Love CD you don't know what you're missing. These songs were remastered by George Martin and his son for the show in Las Vegas and they are unbelieveable in Dolby Digital 5.1. Even the CD in stereo is outstanding. I own many of The Beatles albums on CD and I would buy these if remastered to crystal clear digital.

Jun 21, 2013This movie is awful! The only good thing about this movie is the lighting but everything else is just bad.
The camera angles where odd, mostly having weird close ups of the wall or the side of peoples heads (I'm really not sure how to explain it) The acting was pretty bad and the gore/blood effects were hilarious and the CGI really didn't help. The creatures CGI looked crap and in the other scenes they wave the camera around in an attempt to hide the fact it's just a guy in a rubber suit on stilts...The jump scares where silly and predictable and the jokes/humor was quite bad.
This movie was dumb I just couldn't finish it and it was not entertaining in the slightest.… Expand
Essentially "Alien" set in a self-storage facility, the British low-budget horror flick Storage 24 doesn't manage to rise above the limitations of its bare-bones concept.
The eventual appearance of creature fodder in the form of a crazy old coot who lives in the storage facility, as well as a sequel-promising closing note borrowed from innumerable predecessors, ultimately exposes Storage 24 as a monster from a familiar mother.
One or two serious scares and some excellent creature design work make this a superior British horror sci-fi.

DHS unfolds new safety net
Rather than have an overarching authority decide what information will be distributed and who will receive it, the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN) will operate based on a concept known as "swarming."
The Army originally developed the technique to allow separate units in the field to connect directly to one another to coordinate attacks, rather than go through a central command structure. Swarming has been shown to drastically cut the time needed to respond to a given situation.
"Each person [involved in responding to a situation] has their own version of the [virtual] work space on their computer, so that one person could be looking at files while another is looking at photos and e-mailing at the same time," said Dave Fowler, vice president of marketing and business development at Groove Networks Inc. The company's peer-to-peer technology is used in HSIN. "It allows you to see who is in that virtual work space and allows you to speak with them."
A more centralized method would take too much time in setting up communications, verifying and adding people to teams. Instead, the plan for HSIN is to allow people to swarm around a notification of an event that appears on their systems, Fowler said.

Duke Dumont - Hold On
Artist: Duke Dumont
Featuring: MNEK
Producer: Duke Dumont
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 4 votes )
Lately, it seems that talented UK producers have been beating a path to our doorstep: in recent months, we've brought y'all debut features from Naughty Boy (La La La) and Snakehips (On & On), to name just two. Continuing this rather dope trend is DJ/beatsmith Duke Dumont, making his grand entrance into the Booth with freshly-minted promotional single Hold On. Catford, London singer/songwriter MNEK handles vocal duties on this mournful, yet club-ready jam, crooning, "I can't be a hero," over the headliner's driving house rhythm section and ghostly, overdubbed vocal harmonies. The dazzling falsetto runs he showcases on the back underscore the record's poignant, emotionally-charged mood. Hold On isn't part of a larger project but, if you're feeling it, you can keep your browsers locked to The DJBooth for further fresh singles from the English EDM hitmaker and his vocally-gifted collaborator.

Fit Notes
May We Recommend?
This incredible wireless bra is a true secret weapon. Meant to shape and flaunt and flatter and oomph and va-voom, this is the ultimate wardrobe builder, the cherry on the sundae.
The only thing that is less forgiving than our Charlie's Angels super-hero catsuit is the bridesmaids dress we just had to buy. Thank goodness we have this.
Whether it's the underpinnings of your favorite cocktail dress or a stunning Friday-night-in, this convertible strapless slip dress is perfect for any occasion.
These high-rise beauties are a slightly more refined take on shaping underpinnings. Serious slimming oomph from just below the bust to mid-thigh, sure, we'll have more cake
These SPANX (which go from under the bust to mid-thigh) make any silhouette smooth as silk. Every woman on our team has a pair of these and there's good reason.
Seriously plunging in both the front (!) and back (!!) this stunning shaping slip also features incredibly versatile convertible straps. Seriously, it's a miracle.
Made of slinky silk-knit fabric with a small edging of pretty lace, Mary Green's mini slip is perfect for a perfect extra foundation layer. Hits at mid-thigh.
This Italian beauty would be equally at home on a Venetian balcony and under an UWS cocktail dress. Smooth shaping from the Adriatic to the Hudson? That's La Perla for you.
The bombshell smoothing silhouette that we've come to love is now convertible to a strapless. So, we're speechless. Highly recommended for cocktail parties and dance parties.
Contoured, slimming bands of breathable performance fabric radiate from the tummy panel, while the ingenious tailoring of this shaping half-slip perfectly contours the bum.
Hallelujah and pass the champagne! SPANX Higher Power slimming bottoms are the antidote to bizarro-bulges under clingy dresses...
This gorgeous fitted slip, with its contoured, slimming bands, crossover plunging wireless built-in-bra, and va-voom gorgeous shape has revolutionized our Saturday nights.
Molded, padded, curve-hugging, convertible-to-a-strapless slip is as versatile a foundation piece as it is a holy-moly-jaw-droppingly-sexy piece. White hot, we say.
Hallelujah and pass the champagne! SPANX Higher Power slimming bottoms are the antidote to bizarro-bulges under clingy dresses...
These slimming bottoms are the antidote to bizarro bulges and digging seams. No matter what the silhouette, these keep it smooth. Pass the champagne, please.
This piece is MAGIC. Form-fitting in a way that is both slimming and sexifying (that's a word, we swear), with satiny spandex and gorgeous plunging cover-your-bra-straps.
This slinky, smoothing, skinnying (that's a word we swear) slip is a cocktail dress's best friend. Strong, svelte, and always up for a good time, we say: Pass the champagne.
The Power Panty is a popular foundation piece from the SPANX line, as comfortable as a pair of underwear with the added bonus of a shaper...
Yes, we would like a canape and two more glasses of champagne. No, we would not like to feel like we are wearing a sawed off girdle under our party dress. SPANX to the rescue.

James and Jeremy dealing with the technologies of modern life.
We wuz robbed, Jeremy Clarkson and James May said (more or less).
While the duo were filming for Top Gear in the Yorkshire town of Whitby recently, someone stole Clarkson's cigarettes, a pack of his beloved Marlboros, out of his car.
Last week, the thief came forward and revealed his identity and the motive for the crime. He's 59-year-old Joe Chayter, but, as he told the Whitby Gazette, his friends now call him "the Cig."
Here's what happened: Chayter was out for a walk when he happened upon Clarkson and James May getting take-out (or, if you're British, "take-away") at a local fish and chips store called Mr. Chips. Chayter watched as Clarkson went into the restaurant to order, while May stayed outside and got progressively more worried that Jezza had forgotten to get napkins. Finally, the tension got to May, who jumped out of the car and ran into the store. But he left the motor running.
Joe 'The Cig' Chayter (Whitby Gazette)
"I thought. 'I'm going to take this car for a spin just to frighten them,'" said Chayter, who apparently does this kind of thing pretty often. It turns out that he's a senior technician at a Land Rover and Jaguar dealership. He says that when his customers leave their cars running, his colleagues often move those cars to teach people about car theft.
He said he got in the car, sat there for "only a couple of seconds" and then spied the cigarettes, which he decided to take.
When Clarkson and May got back to the car, they immediately noticed the loss of the smokes and sprang into action: Clarkson sent out an APB on Twitter: "Policemen of Whitby. Someone broke into our car and stole our cigarettes. Clue: they're the only people in town smoking Marlboros."
A tweeter shot back: "You just got some free health care!"
Chayter insists that it was just a practical joke with a message. He returned the pack of Marlboros to Top Gear's offices, along with a Jaguar magazine and a postcard that read: "Which donkey left the keys in the car?"
According to the Whitby Gazette, Chayter says that his daughters believe he's having a mid-life crisis.
• The Whitby Gazette's gotten a lot of mileage out of Top Gear's visit. Before Joe "The Cig" Chayter revealed himself, the paper ran a highly amusing story about how some of its journalists tracked down Clarkson and May via a "game of Twitter cat and mouse" and offered them consolation packs of Marlboros to get some quality media access. (They seem to have learned from the experience of The Northern Echo, whose reporters had previously practiced their own brand of checkbook journalism by giving the boys free fish and chips.)
The Gazette's tactics worked.
Clarkson and May flanking a Whitby Gazette reporter. (Whitby Gazette)
"Jeremy said he still always has time for local newspapers – not so much the nationals and glossy magazines these days – as that is where he started his career as a cub reporter on the Rotherham Advertiser," wrote the newspaper.
Jezza and Captain Slow posed reading a local Whitby paper, with the headline "Town wants its harbour back" on the front page.
"They leaned in," wrote the Gazette, "and informed us that the harbor was not in fact missing and they had seen it just that morning."
(Whitby Gazette)
• Richard Hammond wasn't with Jeremy and James in Whitby. Probably because he spent so much of his summer here in the U.S. working on the second season of Richard Hammond's Crash Course. You'll get to see the result when it premieres on October 22, 10pm/9c. For now, you'll have to make do with photos from our online gallery.
