Watch live video from the New Jersey Shore in Point Pleasant & Belmar. 1:48 p.m. 1:34 p.m. Where you should go: Ambrose Channel is providing lots of action even though short fluke and sea robins dominate. Recap of yesterday: Capt. Mike Yuro Jr. of Freddy C. at Leonardo reports good flukin in Ambrose in 50-to-55-foot depths. The Cock Robin from Point Pleasant and the Jamaica from Brielle had hot action with big blues at anchor to the north. School bluefin tuna trolling was slow, with few reported even by boats trolling among whales and dolphins from the Mud Hole to the Lillian.

Seymour returns as dour mystery-solver

Posted on Aug. 24, 2008 at 3:00 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - Link

Jane Seymour returns to Saturday night. The star of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman" has the title role in the made-for-TV mystery "Dear Prudence" (9 p.m., Eastern, Saturday, Hallmark).A popular advice columnist and TV host, Prudence McCoy combines the classy hauteur of Martha Stewart with the nuts-and-bolts approach of Hints from Heloise, delivered in a voice that sounds like Mary Poppins grown up to become an annoying know-it-all. Gotta headache? Rub a lemon on your temples. A squeaky wheel deserves a shot of olive oil. Even her TV producer can see she's a miserable workaholic, so he sends her off to this spacious Wyoming ranch to recharge her emotional batteries.Once there, Seymour gets reacquainted with "Dr. Quinn" scenery, and Prudence becomes embroiled in a murder mystery involving sacred Native American land. "Prudence" propels itself by borrowing from a grab bag of TV formulas. One moment it seems like the "woman of a certain age gets her groove back" CBS Sunday-night movie of a fe...

Home > Commentary > Trends Archive > Quick: what do Joomla!, Drupal, and WordPress have in common? The types of users are fixed and there is no way to customize users and roles according to your specific needs. You are locked into the hierarchy. This kind of security implementation works find for small publishing operations, but is limiting for large sites who may want to have their own classes and roles for users. Big Blue recently released its IBM Internet Security Systems X-Force 2008 Mid-Year Trend Statistics report, and it contains more than a few eyebrow-raisers. For example: Web-application-based security vulnerabilities have begun to outnumber reports involving conventional viruses and trojans (of the kind that target the operating system). We're now at the point where 51 percent of newly discovered software vulnerabilities depend in some way on web-page interactions. Also, there's been a sharp surge in the number of vulnerabilities that involve SQL injection (as opposed t...
