In 2005 John Rivers united with three friends to help a local family facing increasing medical bills during their young daughter's fight with cancer. What resulted was a line of BBQ products that is as delicious as it is good for the community. Encouraged by the explosion in popularity and the increase in demand, John left his corporate life to follow his passion for BBQ and determination to help others. Today, Four Rivers Smokehouse continues the tradition of donating proceeds to local churches and school endeavors and is prized for its superb balance of flavors in his Four Rivers BBQ Sauce. The recipe is multi-regional making it a perfect fusion of sweet and tangy with a smoky spice finish that you're sure to enjoy!

By David Harley, Pierre-Marc Bureau and Andrew Lee Apple's customer-base has rejoined the rest of the user community on the firing line. This paper will compare the view from Apple and the community as a whole with the view from the anti-virus labs of the actual threat landscape.

By David Harley This 1997 paper reviews the shared history of viruses and the Mac, summarizes the 1997 threatscape, and considers possibilities and strategies for the future. It's been made available for historical interest because so many people asked about it at EICAR 2010. First published in Virus Bulletin 1997 Conference Proceedings.*

A few weeks ago, however, I was visiting a friend and fellow teacher who asked a more basic question: "so how would I get started with this whole Twitter thing?"

One of the most common dismissals of Twitter sounds something like this, "I don't need to know what a bunch of people had for breakfast." My response to this is always, "if that what you're seeing on Twitter, you're following the wrong people."

Twitter can help academics make and maintain connections with people in their fields, find out about interesting projects and research, or crowdsource questions and technical problems, but it can be difficult to know where to start.

In todays, computer-centered society, designing interactive media has emerged as a new profession. Interactive design is often associated with spread of computers as a communication and interaction tool. However, interactive design has been a staple of artists and designers for many centuries. We present a historical perspective upon interactive design and point out the close relationship of this field with different fields of art and design. We argue that interactive media design is a distinct and evolving field and that it is imperative to teach it as such. In this paper, we have adopted this perspective and detailed a new four-year under-graduate curriculum on interactive media design education. This curriculum stresses the various components of interactive media design and its close relationship with computer science. art and design - currculum design - interactive mediaThis revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

The returns to analytical skill rise consistently across the skill distribution; moving from the 25th to the 75th percentile increases earnings by more than $25,000.  The same basic pattern holds for social intelligence skills, like teamwork, communication, people management, and so forth;

"men's work" as it was once understood--low skill, relatively well-paid physical labor (good factory jobs, in a nutshell)--is clearly the victim of the deep structural change in the economy. For the past several decades, the combination of technology and globalization has not only reduced the number and share of high-wage, low-skill production jobs that were once the province of male breadwinners. On top of this, the rate of return to these physically-skilled jobs has declined.

Professional development and networking are vital in any field, and that’s especially true for educators.

That’s why working with other educators in personal learning networks (PLNs) has become as important in an educator’s day as the time he or she spends teaching in class. Below is a short list of PLNs that already exist, followed by some resources to help teachers build their own

The Educator’s PLN is a Ning site (or online platform for creating your own social network) that facilitates connections between educators.
