Using Machine Learning to Detect Command Line Anomalies
Nov 13 2018
52 mins
Andrei Cotaie and Tiberiu Boros of Adobe
As we all know, cybersecurity is often a game of cat and mouse - attackers are always trying to outsmart us defenders. At Adobe, we face the same issues and concerns as all the other major companies. We must ask ourselves simple questions with non-simple answers: How do we ensure that all assets are protected? How do we ensure that our employees are secure from the outside threats? How can we mitigate future emerging threats? Attackers will always try to find the next unconventional attack that will bypass our security systems and our security mindset. In this case, how do we protect our self from the unknown? We believe machine learning techniques can assist us in this defense. This presentation will discuss one of our current machine learning innovations that is helping us detect anomalies in command lines. Command line interfaces are frequently used by users, system administrators and applications alike. Many applications launch console scripts to perform tasks, especially in cloud services where conformity in service environments is also helpful for security. When they can, attackers do like to leverage those native system capabilities. This presentation will discuss machine learning methods developed by Adobe computer scientists to help detect anomalies in command line scripts and calls to help prevent these types of attacks.

How to Phish Your Employees For Functional Security
Oct 18 2018
45 mins
Josh Green of Duo Security
More than 90% of reported data breaches and security incidents in 2016 involved a successful phishing attack*. Attackers rely on phishing as a primary strategy because it continues to be both effective and efficient, as users remain the most vulnerable attack vector.
The best defense against phishing is proactively educating your users, through a shame-free campaign that prepares them for real-world phishing attempts. Along with teaching your users what to watch for, an internal phishing exercise can result in faster user reports of possible phish attempts and reinforce your security response plan.
In this webinar, you will learn how to:
- Quickly and easily assess your security posture
- Help build the business case for addressing your organization's security needs
- Build and deploy effective phishing simulations within minutes
- Identify vulnerable users and devices
- Increase the speed of user reporting for possible phishing messages

Past the Perimeter: Earned Access Through A Zero-Trust Model
Sep 27 2018
47 mins
Zoe Lindsey of Duo Security
Users whose digital lives are increasingly mobile don't want to be tied to their desks, and an effective security strategy must be flexible enough to protect access from boardrooms and bars, cubicles and coffee shops alike. To do this, companies must ensure that users and their devices meet the same security controls, whether they're outside or inside the network perimeter.
Duo adopted the "zero-trust network" model to solve this challenge. All networks and devices are treated as untrusted until proven otherwise, and their health is checked each time a user connects to a protected resource. This approach depends on visibility into whether basic device and network security standards are met. It also requires the ability to enforce granular policy controls based on the results of that health check.
The perimeter is disappearing, and it's not coming back… find out how you can get a head start on what's next.

Greg Mayfield of Tenable
On-prem vs Cloud-based security? It's an ongoing debate that SecOps teams face daily.
With cloud adoption continuing to be a top business initiative, SecOps teams must adapt or risk falling behind. As most on-prem security tools don't work in the cloud and suffer limitations, SecOps teams are faced with a myriad of new technologies and tools to implement to protect their critical assets. This can be overwhelming as numerous options abound.
As the attack surface evolves and expands in the cloud, understanding the current state of assets and assessing their risk is an essential first step. Achieving continuous visibility and protection is then the following challenge. This webinar will discuss the opportunities and benefits that SecOps teams face by utilizing cloud-delivered security solutions vs. traditional on-prem solutions.

A Path to Achieving Network Security ZEN
Aug 14 2018
57 mins
Den Jones, Director – Enterprise Security, Adobe
Finding a balance between a pleasant user experience and stringent security requirements can be a challenge. The need to use a certain username and password for some services while saving additional credentials for other services can contribute to a headache for both security pros and users. Is it even possible to balance security and enhancement of the overall user experience? Adobe believes this is possible. We want to help you achieve this balance by sharing our framework known as Project "ZEN."
Project ZEN at Adobe is an initiative based upon principles found in zero-trust frameworks. Since there is no "off-the-shelf" solution to fully deliver on these principles today, ZEN is an investment in pioneering technology and policies to make the path to a zero-trust network more efficient and attainable.
In this session you will: (a) learn about the principles behind Adobe ZEN, (b) understand the Adobe experience so you can start your own journey by leveraging existing security technology investments and targeted automation technologies, and (c) explore common issues you might encounter along the journey, with guidance on overcoming those issues.

What goes on at Andrews University during the summer? In the Department of Physics, students and faculty create and construct a six-foot Tesla coil.
"In laymen's terms, a Tesla coil is a lightning generator," explains Brendan Cross, instructor of physics at Andrews. "In even simpler terms, it makes big sparks."
In more technical terms, a Tesla coil is a resonant transformer circuit used to produce high-voltage, low-current, high frequency alternating-current electricity. The device is named after Nikola Tesla, a Serbian inventor, engineer, and physicist who invented the coil around 1891.
Though the coil is being built in the department labs, it will, for obvious reasons, be moved outside to be used. Under Cross' careful supervision, three students have been involved with putting the coil together: physics majors Samantha Easton and Mateja Plantak, and engineering major Robert Polski.
And why are they building it?
"Why not?" replies Cross. "We're always looking for cool ways to demonstrate how science works. We already have a large parabolic mirror, a giant vortex cannon, a trebuchet and a quantum locking track; we go big here."
The department's coil will be six feet tall when finished, and will emit sparks within around a 26-foot diameter. It will be used for class demonstrations and an aid to learning for both college and on-campus high school students.
While there is some danger of damage or injury, Cross and the students are taking no chances and safety procedures are in place for when the coil is in use. They intend to build a Faraday cage to complement the Tesla coil once it is completed.
Named for English scientist Michael Faraday, a Faraday cage is an enclosure that blocks external electric fields. It works by using an external static electrical field that causes the electric charges within the cage's conducting material to be distributed such that they cancel the field's effect in the cage's interior. Faraday cages are often used to protect electronic equipment from lightning strikes and electrostatic discharges.
"We do have a lot of fun toys in this department," says Magarita Mattingly, department chair, "and we need them so students can go hands-on and figure out and understand how things work. And the toys we have always change because once we figure it all out we move on to the next fun thing. Whoever said learning can't be fun?"
Cross and the students plan to have the coil completed by mid-November; any public opportunity to watch the device in action will be announced as information becomes available.

ALSIP, Ill. (STMW) — An Alsip man received two years probation Wednesday for his role in a racially charged attack in which a group of teens put a noose around the neck of a Brother Rice High School student and threatened him with a knife.
Matthew Herrmann had pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in October 2012. Herrmann is one of three white teens charged with attacking Joshua Merritt, 17, last year inside the Beverly home of a Cook County State's Attorney's office employee.
The group, then 16, 17 and 18, put a noose around the boy's neck, threatened him with a knife and called him a racial epithet, police said.
Herrmann, the oldest of the attackers, was originally charged with unlawful restraint, hate crime and battery, police said. The felony charges were dropped in the plea deal.
Merritt went to the home of the 16-year-old in the 1600 block of West 100th Place on Dec. 23, 2011, because he had a relationship with "one of the offenders' family members," authorities said. The father of the 16-year-old worked in an administrative role for the state's attorney's office.
Merritt said he was invited to hang out with Herrmann and his friends at the house. He had been at the home earlier that year and knew the boy who lived there as well as his cousin, a white girl to whom he had sent texts and Facebook messages.
He and one of the alleged attackers were students at Brother Rice High School, police said. The victim told police the group twice put a noose around his neck, threatened him with a knife, used the N word and refused to let him leave the house. He was eventually able to escape.
Merritt said he had been friends with Herrmann since his freshman year at Brother Rice. Herrmann was sophomore, but they were both in clubs and had a "trust with each other."
Merritt said he knew the 17-year-old attended Brother Rice, but he didn't know him. The 16-year-old was a Morgan Park High School student.

Read a couple of fascinating articles recently on the differences between US and China work cultures.
The first was not really an article so much at all, but rather, a graphic depiction (put together by Christina Larson) of the results of global study of workplace cultures undertaken by Steelcase, a leading US-based office furniture company. As I am certain that any attempt on my part to summarize this article, entitled, Office Cultures: A Global Guide, will fall woefully short of either doing it justice or conveying critical information, I instead strongly urge you to look at the article yourself and even go here to read the study. I will note, however, that I have a lot of experience in working with companies from Germany, China, Russia and the United States and my experiences jibe pretty much exactly with the findings.
What the study shows is that American workers (workers is very broadly defined) and Chinese workers (same definition for workers) are very very different. Like Mars and Venus different. Maybe even more so. Absolutely fascinating stuff.
The other article is over at the Atlas-China blog on the value of intercultural skills in the workplace, entitled, "Effective American-Chinese Intercultural Communication in the Workplace" [link no longer exists] and it starts out discussing a recent survey on "Culture at Work" by Ipsos Public Affairs, Booz Allen Hamilton, and the British Council in which employers "globally ranked 'demonstrates respect for others' and 'builds trust' as the top two most important skills — higher than 'qualifications related to the job' and any other surveyed technical skills."
The Atlas post then sets out the following four methods to ameliorate Chinese-American cultural differences and to facilitate "effective intercultural communication in the workplace" and thereby develop respect and trust among employees.
- Stop, Ask, and Listen – When speaking with your Chinese colleagues, try to avoid letting your tendency toward expression overshadow theirs. Inquire about their opinions before expressing yours, and make sure to listen and give them time to answer at their own pace. Not only will doing so help you get to know your colleagues better and understand their perspective on projects you share at work, but it will also show them that you care about their opinion and want to take the time to understand it. This show of respect will help build trust going forward.
- Context Matters – To effectively listen to colleagues, it is also important to determine in what context your colleagues are most comfortable speaking. If asking a question in one context (such as in a meeting or lunch where other colleagues are present) does not elicit the kind of openness that you hope for, try again in another context (such as a one-on-one chat or private lunch). Because Chinese culture places great importance on group harmony and face, the more colleagues participating in a discussion, the more likely your Chinese colleagues will defer to others (especially those of higher rank) and not say what they truly think.
- Resist Making Assumptions – In some situations, personal, social, or political dynamics that you aren't aware of may come into play, and asking simple, polite questions can help clarify things. For example, one day I was working on a small project with a colleague who seemed especially eager to finish and leave the office. I was a little frustrated by this, because we had to turn in the finished project before we left that day. I felt like I was being rushed and that my colleague wasn't committed enough to doing a good job. Finally I asked my colleague if she had plans after work, and she told me that actually she had to catch her carpool home soon, otherwise it would take her two hours to get home by bus — a circumstance quite common in China's enormous, congested cities. I immediately felt like a jerk for the assumptions I had made, especially considering that I was lucky enough to live within walking distance of the office. Armed with the information I learned from asking a simple question, on future projects I was better able to budget the time I spent working with this colleague so that I didn't feel rushed and so she didn't miss her carpool.
- Ask Questions…But Not Too Many! – While in many cases asking questions and listening can be crucial to effective American-Chinese intercultural communication in the workplace, it is possible to ask too many questions or ask them in inappropriate circumstances. Once I went to one of my Chinese colleagues to ask questions regarding a work-related topic in her area of expertise. After several questions, she seemed to become a little defensive, asking me why I was so curious to know all of these details that didn't seem very relevant. I realized that rather than seeing my many questions as sign of interest in and respect for her expertise, she might have felt that I doubted the accuracy of her initial responses, or she may have been embarrassed that she couldn't answer every single question.
I have made every single mistake referred to above and though I would not go so far as to say (à la Paula Deen) that "If there's anyone out there that has never said something that they wished they could take back, if you're out there, please pick up that stone and throw it so hard at my head that it kills me," I would guess that I do not stand alone on this.
Or do I?
What do you think?

I just completed a 2-day trip to Pittsburgh (took in a Nats game at glorious PNC park, my favorite ballpark in the world -- alas, the Nats lost).
Took great Maryland back roads to Gettysburg, then US 30 from Gettysburg to Pittsburgh -- a very nice mountanous road without much traffic at all. Coming home, I took US 30 East from Pittsburgh to Greensburgh, PA 119 south from Greensburgh to Uniontown, then US 40 East to Maryland, where I took Alt 40 and MD 144 through the mountains all the way to Frederick, then local backroads to my home. On the way west I made a stop at the very moving, spontaneous, Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville (west of Bedford). This will become an official National Park, and will I'm sure be beautiful, quite soon, but catch this spontaneous display before they put up the official one.

Last month, the Queens rapper Meyhem Lauren released his thundering, funny-as-hell Mandatory Brunch Meetings mixtape, and I liked it a lot. Pitchfork did not agree. Earlier this week, critic Jonah Bromwich dropped a 5.2 on it and called it mediocre and lacking in personality. Lauren, evidently tremendously frustrated, immediately recorded a song refuting the reviews different points and generally blasting the shit out of the site. As a former Pitchfork writer, a song like this would've once made me all defensive, but now it's just funny: "A pitchfork's a devilish tool! We don't use those!" And maybe it's not the best idea to call out a prominent music-review website, but I'll take this over Joey Bada$$ bragging, in song form, about performing on Fallon. Listen to the track at Nah Right.
For what it's worth, I didn't get that "Kelly Kapowski" was about cocaine either, though I'm not sure Bromwich even recognized the name as a Saved By The Bell character. Also, just think how much more virulent this song would be if Lauren had waited long enough to see Ian Cohen panning Free Energy this morning.

What did you change from when you initially started because this is not your original error? From reading your others posts it seems you may have tweaked something on your computer that is causing your problems. Maybe your other AVR software is conflicting? It's hard to debug without know exactly what you did along the way that made your error messages change
What is in your programmers.txt file?
Can you try another computer?Did you also send the RS232 to TTL adapter back for verification?How do you have the adapter connected to the RBBB?
Those files are supposed to be there Pat and I have WinAVR installed on my machine without it causing any problems.Did you find the programmers.txt file?Have you tried deleting your entire Arduino folder and downloading a fresh copy?
As far as I can remeber, I modified something in C:/DOCUMENTS And SETTINGS/ÑÛÍ/Application Data/PREFERENCES.txt before tha ARDUINO began working, however, I'm not shure. And I can't remember what exactly... (((
Sorry, I didn't read what I have written. I just copied the destination of the directory C:/DOCUMENTS And SETTINGS/ÑÛÍ/Application Data/PREFERENCES.txt . I can't translate the ÑÛÍ - It's something unreadable (this is no such a word even in Russian)). But this is some folder in Documents and Settings.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you'll find the solution, please, post it here, because, i still can't program my AVR...
It seems strange to me, that somebody, some software engineers, set up programs to detect errors, since these errors are detected by some software, somplace, and the engineered messages are automatically posted, but there seems to be no information on where the messages come from, what they mean or what causes them. Obviously those error detection codes are deeply buried within tons of software and long forgotten. Then I had to stumble across them. Oh well, I guess I'll work on something else for a while.Patrick

Forsberg key for Predators' future, not presentby John Manasso
NASHVILLE -- When the Nashville Predators dealt right wing Martin Erat at the NHL's Trade Deadline on Wednesday without getting a roster player in return, it signified something of a sea change.
From Predators management and the coaching staff on down to the players, no one claimed to be giving up on trying to qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs -- even minus a first-line player who was tied for the team lead in points.
"He's definitely a guy you're going to miss," captain Shea Weber said, "but we've got guys in here that are going to need to step up and I think that's the case all the time."
Nonetheless, simple math shows that scoring will be more difficult for the Predators. With injuries to top six forwards Colin Wilson, Gabriel Bourque and Mike Fisher, who gutted out a performance Thursday after missing the previous three games with an upper-body injury, coach Barry Trotz elected to put checking center Paul Gaustad in Erat's former place on the top line with Fisher and Kostitsyn.
Gaustad was tremendous on faceoffs, winning 57 percent, but an offensive force he is not. He has scored 73 goals in 516 NHL games. The Predators forwards failed to score Thursday and the team slipped further back in the playoff race, starting Friday two points behind the eighth-place St. Louis Blues but having played three more games. Trotz said Friday he most likely will not keep that line together.
In securing prospect Filip Forsberg, the 11th pick at the 2012 NHL Draft, from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Erat and minor-league center Michael Latta, Predators general manager David Poile appears to have reaped a good return. Alas, for a franchise that has advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs in each of the past two seasons, Forsberg will not help them this season.
Asked if the trade was an example of taking one step back to take two forward, Poile responded, "Yeah, that's a good way of putting it."
Last season, Nashville finished with the fifth most points in the League and was the busiest team at the trade deadline, signifying that they were a true contender for the Stanley Cup. However, they lost in the second round to the Phoenix Coyotes in five games and now, to a degree, find themselves retrenching.
Last year, the Predators tried to add that dimension by bringing back wing Alex Radulov from the KHL. Radulov was a Predators' first-round draft pick in 2004 but broke his NHL contract to play in his native Russia. He returned to much fanfare last year but when he broke curfew during the playoffs in Phoenix, the team suspended him, effectively ending that experiment. He returned to the KHL this season.
Poile said he is not contemplating making wholesale changes but realizes some modifications are in order.
"Our forwards, as I said [Wednesday], we probably needed a little bit of a change -- a change or upgrade," he said. "And we've already started that process. Certainly, it was accentuated yesterday by getting Forsberg. I don't think anybody doesn't project him as a top-two-line player."
Nashville's core is intact: Two-time Vezina Trophy finalist goalie Pekka Rinne is in the first season of a seven-year deal and Weber, the captain, is in the first year of a 14-year contract.
"We've had some discussions about we're unbalanced in our drafting and that's probably accurate," Poile said. "We've taken more higher-end defenseman than forwards. But two things: We've also traded a whole bunch of first-round picks at the trading deadline the last few years to get to the playoffs and to compete and to win playoff rounds, and a little bit of, not to be defensive, but even on our forwards we've had a couple of unlucky situations too. We've had two high-end forwards that are no longer with us."
One of those forwards is Scott Hartnell, a 37-goal scorer last season with the Philadelphia Flyers who Nashville traded during a period of ownership uncertainty. Hartnell was set to become a free agent at the time and the Predators knew they could not match his price.
The other is Radulov.
"We lost Hartnell in free agency and Radulov -- you've got to fill in the blank," Poile said. "I don't know how we lost him, but you put those two guys in our lineup in whatever normal circumstances are … That's too bad."
In the past nine months, the Predators have had to navigate some turbulent times in terms of core player personnel issues. First, all-star defenseman Ryan Suter elected to depart via free agency last July by signing with the Minnesota Wild and is having a Norris Trophy-type of season.
Then Weber signed an offer sheet with Philadelphia amid public comments by his agent about how he wanted to leave Nashville. Now, a third player in the team's leadership group, Erat, asked to be traded.
The Predators deny that three represent some kind of united displeasure with the organization. They point to Rinne's contract extension in November 2011 but also to Weber's, as Weber knew full well the Predators had an opportunity to match the offer and keep him, as they eventually did.
"He wouldn't have signed it," Trotz said, "if he didn't want to be here."
Poile said, "I don't want to go where you're going. I think everybody in sports -- every team goes through different situations at different times. I think putting your team together is a lot about timing."
Also, with Erat's salary off the books, the Predators might be able to make a move in July's free-agent market, particularly if other teams choose to exercise their compliance buyouts, as spelled out in the new collective bargaining agreement.
Still, the Predators are not giving up. Six of their last 10 games are at home and Rinne is capable of stealing wins by himself.
"I don't think we're in a situation where we're asking anyone to do anything they're not capable of doing," Poile said. "Stranger things have happened. Are we favored? Absolutely not. We're in an underdog position."
It's a position the franchise is used to.

I remember someone three seats down from me at Ginza Sushi-ko (the predecessor of Urasawa), eating an entire box of the ochre uni that Masa Takayama had specially sourced. Sometimes, if you were lucky, he'd hand you a cone of exquisite black green toasted nori filled with four or five skeins of sea urchin roe. For me, that will always be the ultimate sea urchin experience. Not everybody appreciates its almost unbearably intense sea funk. As with bottarga, you generally either love it or hate it. I'm decidedly in the first camp, happy to eat it on top of a buttered crostini or toast, tossed raw with hot spaghetti as they eat it in Puglia, or eaten raw out of the shell.
Snag one of the half a dozen seats at the raw bar at this new casual seafood spot from M.B. Post's and former Water Grill chef David LeFevre. I love to watch as LeFevre opens up one of those purple-black Santa Barbara sea urchins the size of a Russian fur hat, deftly cleans it and separates out the roe, serving it up with buttered toast. It's quite the feast, a splurge for one, but usually enough for two to share as a starter. Afterward, order oysters, New England Clam Chowdah' or LeFevre's terrific Maryland blue crab cakes with whole grain mustard remoulade.
1148 Manhattan Ave., Manhattan Beach, (310) 893-6299. California sea urchin, $15.
My go-to appetizer on Providence's menu used to be Michael Cimarusti's sumptuous scrambled eggs with uni, but he's since rotated that particularly sexy dish off the menu of his two-star Michelin restaurant. Now, L.A.'s seafood maestro is serving what he calls the Ugly Bunch. Don't you love the name? The uglies are abalone, geoduck and sea urchin, none of which would normally make the most beautiful Instagram. Sorry, geoduck. But as a group, they look handsome presented atop a "sea" of smoked crème fraîche panna cotta and dressed up for the night with gold leaf.
5955 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, (323) 460-4170. The Ugly Bunch, $30.
Salvatore Marino was among the first Italian chefs to put crudo or Italian-style raw fish on his menu, and I still love going to Il Grano for the day's assortment, which often includes sea urchin roe. But I'm always dreaming of spaghetti alla ricci (with raw sea urchin), and he does his own twist with bigoli (a hand-rolled pasta) stained black with squid ink and tossed in a Santa Barbara sea urchin sauce. His vegetables are local too, and in tomato season, he grows a huge crop of heirlooms for the restaurant in his home garden.
11359 Santa Monica Blvd., West Los Angeles, (310)477-7886. Bigoli with sea urchin sauce, $21.

FRANKLIN, Ind. – A pair of second quarter touchdowns by a new-look Yellow Jacket offense drew Defiance to within 21-14 of Franklin on Saturday, but the Grizzlies added a field goal before the half and poured it on for 28 unanswered points in the second half of a 52-14 road defeat for DC.
Aaron Spence provided a temporary spark for the Jacket lineup in his first collegiate start at quarterback, ending the afternoon with 107 yards and two scores on the ground to go with 122 passing yards.
The sophomore signal caller carried the ball three times for 22 yards and capped a 58-yard scoring march for Defiance with a two-yard dive that cut the early Franklin advantage to 14-7 with 14:16 remaining in the second period.
Spence then sandwiched a completion to Brian Mircovich with a pair of connections with Aaron Choice to ignite another scoring drive later in the quarter. After a pair of incompletions, Spence hooked up with Jon Carrabino for 12 yards and took it himself for a nine-yard rush into the end zone one play later.
The score brought the Jackets within a single score once again, at 21-14, with only 47 seconds left in the half, but the home squad was able to salvage momentum by going 52 yards in 38 seconds and hitting a 30-yard field goal to take a 24-14 cushion into the break.
It would be all Franklin after that, as the Grizzlies found the end zone three times in the third quarter to blow open a 45-14 gap. FC tacked on a fourth-quarter touchdown to end the 52-14 victory with 31-straight points over the final 30:47 of play.
DC's offense continued its progression, by racking up 385 total yards with a season-high 199 on the ground and controlling the ball for 36:01 minutes to FC's 23:59. Spence led the way by carrying the ball 19 times for 107 yards and two scores. Rick Powell also ran it well, averaging 7.6 yards per rush in five tries and Jerry Blount netted 5.2 yards per attempt in limited duty.
Spence also completed 15 passes for 122 yards, finding Mircovich four times for 44 yards and hitting Andy Cessna, Nick Wiedenhoft and Choice a trio of times each.
Eric Rubio highlighted the defense with 11 solo tackles and three hits for negative yardage, while Hunter Robertson added six stops and Joemese Scott had one sack and four solo tackles in the losing effort.
Defiance (0-4, 0-2 HCAC) will get a bye next week, before facing another road challenge. The Jackets will head to Mount St. Joseph (3-0, 2-0 HCAC) for a 1:30 pm start on October 8.

Directors slam Academy's race Save By Giles Hardie Dec. 6, 2012, 2:17 p.m."Not enough drama ... Grant Bowler hosts The Amazing Race Australia"The Australian Directors Guild has taken a swipe at the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts over the decision to pit three drama directors against an executive producer from a non-drama show in the best direction in television category in the academy's award nominations.The guild has called on the academy to withdraw Michael McKay, the executive producer and director of The Amazing Race Australia from the nomination list, which was announced on Monday, and replace him with another drama director.It strongly condemned "this disrespect of the drama director's profession"."We were just amazed. We read it when the nominations came out and thought it was a mistake," the executive director of the guild, Kingston Anderson said. "To our surprise, it was deliberate. This is like comparing apples to oranges; it makes no sense."If AACTA wanted to honour directors in the reality or non-dramatic form, then they should have created a category for those directors."The chief executive officer of the academy, Damian Trewhella, said the category was for all directors."I understand the ADG's position and why they would like to restrict the award to drama directors," he said. "Currently, we have just one award, which is called 'best direction in television', not 'best direction in a television drama'."Therefore, productions across all categories – drama, comedy, light entertainment, reality and children's – are eligible for the award."We acknowledge that there are significant distinctions between the role of the director on a drama and on a reality show, and that this does pose challenges when trying to assess them against each other. Perhaps this could be seen as a compromise, but we prefer to be inclusive, rather than exclusive, where possible."McKay, who is in Asia working on The Amazing Race Ukraine, won the best director award at the Asian Television Awards last year for the same episode of The Amazing Race Australia, and is "a little surprised by the ADG's reaction because the industry seems to be recognising directors across the board and their work"."I respect that; they're clearly saying it isn't the exclusive domain of drama directors," McKay said. "I'm surprised the ADG wants to limit the category only to directors who make movies or telemovies or drama. There's a whole lot more. Maybe the ADG isn't proud of those directors."I'm the guinea pig. Was I surprised to be nominated? Yes. I'm so honoured to be nominated and when it's in this sort of category I get a bit embarrassed. To be in the category with those guys is very special. Early in my career I worked on drama and I know how hard that is, too."However, McKay does not think the nomination was a mistake."They want to honour directors full stop, not just drama directors. That's a real step forward for these awards," he said. "Some of those sports broadcasts are complicated. Same with the entertainment shows. Maybe next year whoever directs the AFL grand final – a massively complicated broadcast – will be in that category as well."Rather than expand the award, the Directors Guild wants to restrict it further, preventing light entertainment and comedy shows from qualifying."They shouldn't be in it," Anderson said. "If it's going to be a director's award, which is what it is, then they should all be directors. It's like saying in the Olympics, 'We'll put a shot putter up against a swimmer'."If you're going to say the director of The Amazing Race should be up against the director of Beaconsfield, well, then surely the people in The Amazing Race should be up for best actors? That's the logic of that if they're doing the same thing. Would [academy board member] Sigrid Thornton like that?"McKay rejected the comparison."I don't direct the competitors; it's more like a live sports event," he said. "My job is to ensure that we're getting the shots that we want. I conceived the opening arrivals and work with a great team of people to achieve and execute the plan. I do not direct the contestants once the race has started."He is a director though, McKay explains that he is officiall the director of The Amazing Race Australia, however his credit in the on-air list is not reflective of his role. "My credit on channel 7 is restricted to EP because of [network] credit restrictions and I don't like having a bunch of credits for myself anyway (people who are EP, director, writer, chief cook and bottle washer)."As for the race he now finds himself in, McKay is a little embarrassed at receiving a personal nomination, as he is quick to acknowledge the work of his team."I wish the nominees all the best," he said. "I'm not much for personal awards and, as always, I don't expect to win."http://www.murrayvalleystandard.com.au/story/1169292/directors-slam-academys-race/?cs=36
Hopefully it doesnt get denominated. The award is for "Best driection in TV" not "best direction in non scripted tv" so techicly it has the same right to be up there with those (horrible) dramas.
Don't worry guys even if Michael's nomination is taken away Season 3 will go ahead, I've just had some interesting news shared with me today.

Whenever the Conficker worm comes up here on OSNews (or any other site for that matter) there are always a number of people who point their fingers towards Redmond, stating that it's their fault Conifcker got out. While Microsoft has had some pretty lax responses to security threats in the past, it handled the whole Conficker thing perfectly, releasing a patch even before Conficker existed, and pushing it through Windows Update. In any case, this made me wonder about Linux distributions and security. What if a big security hole pops up in a Linux distribution - who will the Redmond-finger-pointing people hold responsible?

'Superstar' auditions April 6-7
Auditions for the CAST production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar," one of the first and greatest rock operas, will be held on April 6 and 7 in the choir room at Hood River Valley High School. Director Mark Steighner says that the high-energy score demands a cast of 20 equally high-energy singers. "In particular the roles of Jesus and Judas require big, rock and roll voices capable of a wide range." Although most of the featured roles call for actors ages 20-40, auditions are open to high school age students and above of any age. Auditions begin at 6:30 p.m. Those trying out should prepare a song that demonstrates the singer's range and capabilities. A CD player will be provided, but singers will need to provide their own piano accompanist. "Jesus Christ Superstar" was Webber's first big commercial success and the show has become a staple of college and community theatres. The CAST production of Jesus Christ Superstar will run the second and third weekends in July. Rehearsals will be in the evenings during April, May, and June. For more information, contact the director at email@example.com

feeling a little punky
great pumpkin designs (if you haven't already eviscerated your squash)
"this bag is not intended to be used as a toy":
instructions for these and others along with every other, pumpkin related topic imaginable, here:
dear anonymous, why must you be so fearful?
a few months ago, i decided to turn my comment moderation tool off. most of you who read this, just don't seem to have unfair things to say about what i post (or maybe i'm not very controversial ) but every once in a , rare, while, some cry baby, rings the doorbell of comments and runs off. leaving a suspicious pile of crappy accusations and insults.
and what are you afraid of? that..... i've never understood either. what's so scary to you about leaving a comment and owning it? so, dear anonymous, for the record: this is my blog. i'm the only one who gets to make unmoderated comments on whom i blog. not you. and you know what? 'anonymous'? blogger is free. create your own blog-it's quite easy. maybe call it something creative like: 'douche bags and stupid heads who are not the boss of me' but please, don't waste my time or air space. really. don't. you're just way too passive, timid--and boorish to be a part of this group. NQOKD (not quite our kind dear) mkay...next?

rolling with your home-y
rebecca odes, is the other half of the multi talented ,multi disciplinary design ensemble, rockmade (the former being candy shooter, craig kanarick). odes creates stunning, roller shade art.
use on your windows, as a partition, to create privacy, however you decide.
all pieces are hand printed on up to a 96 x 96 final product. odes' name may be familiar, as she is a cofounder of the website gurl.com. an award-winning webzine for teenage girls that fosters self-esteem and positive body image. i already want to go get coffee with this gal (she sounds so cool) for more info, contact either craig or rebecca at rockmade

fine artist, deirdre daw (my sister)
my sister's is kind of a really big deal.
and i'm not just saying that because, she's my sister. she seriously is. deirdre is one of the major influences in the ceramic art field. here are some pieces from the santafeclay.com site-(which i've added so you can see her work photographed by a professional)
deirdre has taught in the bay area at some of the most prestigious art schools (CCA for one) for many years. her work resides in museums and private collections all over the world. this weekend her work was made part of the permanent collection at the new (and incredibly beautiful) de young museum in san francisco. this is the piece:
and we were there to watch her adoring fans....adore her. here she is signing autographs...
when we weren't attending gallery showings, we had a great time, running around our beloved city, having great meals and playing with friends (acting like a total loose cannon)

gotta hand it to you....
i'm realizing that 'scary' is subjective. so while some of you toughies out there didn't find the scary movie, scary....you may look at this and just go,
'feh. child's play"
not really scary but a bit disturbing (sort of like, little lost souls reaching up from the bowels of earth-see? that's sort of scary) it's soap! handsoap by foliage design.
if nothing else, a great idea

down the tube
i'm a, admittedly, bad photographer. and i will forever blame it on the camera. and it sort of sucks, because i love photography. i think i have a pretty good eye, but i just can never seem to capture what i admire in shots that i, so often, post. last night, bored, i grabbed a roll of paper towels and started shooting through it. the results are just odd. charlotte (always a willing participant in all things crazy and creative) he'd probably be embarassed that i posted this (dude, if you read "the blog" more often you'd get some creative muscle!) little china girl these are fun, if you decide to try this, send them to me, i'll post them. they're so cool and weird (like us!)
bandicoot lapin-paris
those parisians. are you kidding me? they're always one upping us. or are we even competing? we the ...par venues. even when it comes to halloween costumes. damn them! my kids are busy being 'fifties girl' and ' dead bride' (ok the latter? could be something to talk about with the therapist) check these costumes out from paris based bandicoot-lapin:
where's the acetate?do you have to dry clean these? where's the 'snap' on princess plastic mask of yore? (ok , i guess those were retired in 1975) but still, who in the.... who in the united states- is going to dress their child as peau d'ane. translate: donkey skin. catherine deneuve 1970.??? crazy french (la fou frogs). god love them. oh and prices are in the neighborhood of 180.00. available in the states at john derian.
(i wonder in france, if the mothers make the kids where their parkas (the navy ones with the smushed up faux fur around the hood) over their costumes. )
small stump sumthin sumthins
great finds this hot, ashy so cal day over at poppytalk handmade's (for those of you unfamiliar, poppytalk handmade is a virtual monthly street market. a place to showcase, buy and sell handmade goods from emerging artists" these finds are from the 'small stump' shop"we want to share our passion for all things tiny, old, woodgrain, cupcakes, nature, doll heads, and squirrels with you. small stump is the creative collaborative effort of lia thomas and jill pilotte." it just so happens that these are a few of my favorite things (along with snow flakes that melt on my nose and eyelashes)

tri eye fulls
i love the art on this face powder package. unfortunately the manufacturer has since changed it.
the eiffel tower i bought in paris in 1990- i use it to put my rings on at night.
the twin towers. i was walking into a surf shop a month after 9-11 and looked down, and there this was. lying on the sidewalk. so weird. i considered leaving it. but it was just too provocative.

i told myself i wasn't allowed to write a post until i finished my "work", work today. (gritted teeth, hands balled into fists at my sides, tendons in my neck straining) but i can't i just have to write this one thing. because it's a great find.
tiloniawhile i'm such a fan of that hunk of burning textile god, robshaw, sometimes his stuff doesn't fit everyone's budget. here's a great site that you can snag some beautiful textiles and home goods for next to nothing (the fabric is 14.95 a yard) i know some of it, may look a little like pier one circa 1983 crashed into pierre deux 1987 at a pot smoking friends, incense smelling dorm room party (only some of it though),
but if you mixed this stuff in with other pieces? i think you'd be on to something. and the back story is so heart warming: Tilonia, a small village in the desert regions of Rajasthan, India, is home of the Barefoot College. For more than 35 years, the College has worked to improve the lives of the rural poor by addressing basic needs for water, electricity, housing, health, education and income. Tilonia helps these rural artisans to market their products in India and around the world. With new markets for their crafts, their livelihood is improved and the production of the traditional crafts is continued. this is beautiful, i think. it's appliqued. i can't imagine the amount of time that went into this. makes my finger tips hurt.
ok, i'm outta here. i need to work.

More music, more action, even sing alongs to allow for audience participation, will add new zip to the traditional Tree Lighting at The Jefferson Hotel, which will take place on Monday, November 26, at the hotel, 101 West Franklin Street.
The Jefferson is revamping its holiday program to enhance its appeal to children.
Music familiar to children of all ages will be performed throughout the entire program, and action will be disbursed throughout the hotel's Rotunda, not limited to the staircase.
Some things will remain the same, of course - there will be the parade down the Grand Staircase, the lighting of the huge Christmas tree and a reception for guests.
Festivities kick off at 5:30 p.m. with entertainment provided by local musicians.
The program will begin promptly at 6.00 p.m, and will end with the arrival of the Legendary Santa and the lighting of the tree. It is free and open to the public.

Berman, a foil fencer, went 8-2 at the Northeast Conference. The Judges rolled to three of their wins, defeating Tufts, 21-6; Vassar, 23-4; and Dartmouth, 19-8. In the toughest match of the competition, they overcame a 13-10 deficit to defeat Boston College, 14-13. Brandeis also suffered a 20-7 loss to host Brown University.

Overall this season, Brandeis is 8-6, 7-3 in the NFC. With their portion of the schedule complete, they are in fourth place with one more meet to go. Berman leads the foil squad with a 34-10 record this season.

Facebook's tailspin continuesJune 5, 2012: 5:31 PM ET
It was supposed to be the IPO of the year, but Facebook's (FB) performance as a publicly traded company has been, in a word, disappointing.
Shares of the social network continued to fall Tuesday, dropping another 3.6% to end at $25.87. The stock is down 32% from its May 18 offering price of $38.
There were issues with Facebook's IPO from the start, when technical problems on the Nasdaq delayed its launch. Numerous investors have complained to CNNMoney that their orders were processed incorrectly or delayed.
In addition, Facebook and its underwriters have been accused of granting preferential treatment to institutional investors by sharing negative information with them about the IPO, which they allegedly withheld from other investors.
This is the basis of a class action suit from investors against Facebook, CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and the underwriters, including Morgan Stanley (MS), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Goldman Sachs (GS), Barclays Capital and Merrill Lynch, a unit of Bank of America (BAC).

A Converted 1850's Chapel in Upstate New York
This little chapel in Stamford, New York has been converted into a residence. We love the way the cathedral ceilings of the original chapel have been retained, with the living spaces fitting inside in loft-like style:
The reason we get to peek inside such a charming and unique home? It's for sale! For $168,000 it's yours. That's a steal for a 1400 square foot pad compared to Manhattan prices, but this one comes complete with a two-and-a-half-hour commute.
Check out the full listing here and see it featured in the New York Times, too.

Expressing bold independence from the national party, Republican U.S. Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez criticized President Barack Obama on social programs and immigration reform during a spirited campaign stop that included several Latino children among the spectators.
Mr. Gomez said Obama promised immigration reform as a candidate in 2008 but has not delivered.
The Senate candidate said, "Obama has broken up more families" with deportation orders than the previous Bush administration. The Washington Post reported in August that the administration had deported 1.4 million people — a rate 1.5 times higher than under President Bush.
"You've got to give certainty to the pathway to citizenship," Mr. Gomez said, adding: "it's going to be a lengthy path" to become a U.S. citizen.
"This is not just an issue for the Latino community; it affects the whole country," he said. "I know the Republican party has not been receptive to immigration reform. This is one of the more difficult problems we have. The reality is, there has to be a solution."
Mr. Gomez said the social safety net that includes Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is at risk unless steps are taken right away to ensure they are funded for future generations.
"We need to make Medicare and Social Security stronger," he said. It may not be around if Congress and the president do not take action right now, he said.
The underdog candidate appeared relaxed, his athletic and trim frame comfortably fitting in a white polo shirt, a light tan pair of casual slacks and bright aquamarine sneakers. He made several references to his nine-year military career that included earning the distinction of being a Navy SEAL.
Mr. Gomez's criticisms of President Obama were polite. His statements about U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Malden, his opponent for the U.S. Senate seat, though occasionally laced with biting humor, maintained decorum.
Noting that first lady Michelle Obama, the president, the democratic national chairman and former president Bill Clinton came to Massachusetts to support Mr. Markey — and that Vice President Joe Biden may also come to the state, the Republican candidate said they came "to prop him (Mr. Markey) up."
"I think Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are next," he said to raucous laughter.
After finishing his speech, Mr. Gomez spoke with reporters. He was asked whether national Republican leaders such as House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky would be stumping with him in the final days before the June 25 special election.
Mr. Gomez said he did not want them showing up, that the campaign is about the people of Massachusetts and that if elected, he would deal with the republican leadership while in Washington, D.C.
The candidate, who supports President Obama's recent public announcement to directly provide groups seeking to overthrow the Syrian government with weapons, was asked about the legal justification to help overthrow a sovereign state that poses no threat to the U.S.
"We are helping one of the rebel groups there. They are fighting the war," Mr. Gomez said.
He also supports unilateral U.S. action if the United Nations does not authorize the use of force.
"I think there should be a no-fly zone in Syria," Mr. Gomez said.
Former Worcester City Councilor Juan Gomez introduced Mr. Gomez. State Rep. Peter Durant, R-Spencer, attended along with 60 onlookers, supporters and patrons of Mill Street Brews, where the campaign stop took place.
Mr. Gomez launched a series of town hall meetings across the state Friday. The event here was officially called a "Latino Town Hall Meeting in Southbridge." It was followed by door-to-door campaigning along Hamilton Street, where Mr. Gomez was escorted by Southbridge City Council candidate Esteban Carrasco Jr.
Parelys Torres, along with the many family and friends on her front porch at 380 Hamilton St., were all smiles as the candidates made their pitch.
She said Mr. Gomez's candidacy and Mr. Carrasco's are "a very good idea. Hopefully we'll do something different" if they are elected, she said.
