Doctor Wax Battle Show

The Doctor Wax Battle Show started on Youtube in July of 2006. Early skits inlcuded the Doc and Cowboy Mike talking about sports, box breaks from early 2006 products, Adam the Analyst, and the infamous "Pull of a Lifetime." Later more "shows" were added such as First Down where Cowboy Mike would talk football for each week. Box breaks would continue throughout the whole show with 1-3 boxes being broken into each week with occasionaly more.

Characters

Doctor Wax Battle or The Doctor/Doc- main character in the show. He is alyways upbeat. He is known for his huge afro and his tye dye shirt. He has many recurring phrases including unprecedented and smokin' hot. He hosts all the box breaks and films all of them.

Gil and Fast Eddie- They are mostly known for breaking boxes. They usually break boxes until lately when Fast Eddie was gone from the show for a few months. Gil will open anything including hockey. Fast Eddie is mostly known for breaking baseball, but will sometimes break football and basketball.

Jerry Armelino- He is mostly on the live show. He is on it almost every week and dresses up and plays other characters including Vito the Vendor, Captain Jim Gem Mint, Billy Bob Jim Bob, Mr. Groggy, and Frankie Fanook.

Adam the Analyst- He analyzes what is going on in sports and sometimes outside of sports. On his show "Hot Pizza." He is sometimes on the live show discussing upcoming events such as NFL and NBA drafts.

Jersey Jon- Jersey Jon gained poularity for his "Pull of a Liftime" video where he pulled a Dual Cut Signature card of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. He will bust boxes every once in a while. He is on the live show sometimes and sometimes hosts it when the Doc can not make it or is late.

Cowboy Mike- Cowboy Mike got his name for being a huge Dallas Cowboys fan. He has a recurring phrase which is "How bout' them Cowboys?" He was on the First Down show and occasionally appears on the live show.

Big Philly Mike- Mike is a huge Philadelphia Phillies fan which is how he got his name. He will bust boxes mostly from baseball and will sometimes get big pulls.

The Shirt

In December 2006/January 2007 a shirt was aquired by The Doctor that included game used pieces from clothing of famous athletes and was shown to other characters during "The Sitdown" which took place at Johnny G's. After the Doc left 3-4 people attacked him and took him away which led to a chase. The Doc was found a few days later. The shirt is still missing as of July 2007 as the top two suspects are Captain Jim Gem Mint and Fast Eddie. They are going to have a boxing match in August 2007 as they have made rivals about who stole the shirt.

The Live Show

The Live Show on the website started in early January 2007. It is filmed on location at The Backstop in Toms River, New Jersey. People can watch the show live on their computer. It is on every Wednesday from 7-10 P.M. EST on The Backstop's website. On the live show characters come on and discuss sports, upcoming releases, and products already out.Characters and other people also bust boxes. The Live Show has had special guests including Mr. Mint and Mike Phillips from the Upper Deck Company. It has also been at Steiner Sports Headquarters in New York where it had a live show. People can call into the show live and talk about sports and answer trivia questions for prizes. People calling in range from right their in Toms River, New Jersey to Puerto Rico and Australia. The live show is a huge hit and gained popularity in April and May 2007.

Ace Mac

Born to Cuban-American parents Chicago’s, GOOD GRADES, Ace Mac was raised in the Logan Square/Humboldt Park area. As an early 80’s baby, Ace Mac witnessed firsthand what the grimy inner-city neighborhoods had to offer his youth. At the adolescent age of 12, Ace Mac started sketching out his story through verse and decided to pursue rapping in order to disclose his visions. Although Ace Mac relied on music to deter him from the harsh reality of a “gang bang city”, the cracks in the pavement directed Ace Mac to the cornerstone of every ghetto boy’s youth – the street corner. It's no secret that this A+ student continued his higher learning on the windy city streets of Chicago. Ace Mac will tell you, in his own words, "I campaigned for a minute on the strip like a menace". Still, the Good Grades Boy remained focused on mastering the intricacy of wordplay to convey the cold-hearted truth of a thug’s lifestyle. It was his hustle driven ambition that won him a position as the 1st round draft pick in the rap game. He has since then dedicated the rest of his life to music. Now, it’s “quiet on the set!”

“Quiet on the set”… is a phrase you would probably hear on an artificial setting for a motion picture. But for those who live by the code of the street, “the set” is a thug’s domain. Ace Mac’s territory, however, no longer spans a twelve block radius but a worldwide platform. Instead of making noise in the hood, Ace Mac is causing chaos in the music scene. So, how did Ace Mac transform his gangster persona to that of a Latin entrepreneur in the music industry? Well, simply put, Ace Mac was introduced to Pito (an all-city connect) via a mutual friend. Pito, aware of Ace Mac’s street credibility, introduced Ace Mac to Lupe Fiasco and the CEO of 1st & 15th. The meeting would land Ace Mac in Lupe Fiasco’s “Kick, Push” video. With the witty move made by Pito (aka P’), Ace Mac’s appearance placed a spotlight on the Good Grades Boy. The game plan had just begun. Pito’s next idea would prove to be the turning point of Ace Mac’s career. Pito took Ace Mac on a business trip to New York. During that trip, P’ introduced Ace Mac to his pana (slang term for partner), Fat Joe. Already aware of the visit, Fat Joe wanted to hear Ace Mac freestyle. So, Ace Mac sprayed off a verse that made Joey Crack lean back. Fat Joe’s response, “Chicago hasn’t been this great since Jordan.” Again, Ace Mac found himself face to face with a camera during the filming of Fat Joe’s video to song “Clap Revolvem’”. There is no doubt that some of today’s heavy hitters in the rap game want to see this windy city kid blow. After all, he has earned their respect.

As a result of the tremendous support, co-partner/manager turned CEO, Pito invested big bank on a record label that would house Chicago based artists starring its main act… Ace Mac. In 2006, Good Grades Records was established and released Ace Mac’s first project, Ace Mac, All Ace’s Mix Tape Vol. 1 hosted by Fat Joe & $TheDealMakers$. The word in the street – Ace Mac is the truth. In 2007, Fat Joe extended an invitation to CEO P’ to feature Ace Mac on the remix to his hit single “Make it Rain”. The song made such an uproar that a video was shot for it in Miami. Ace Mac appears in Fat Joe’s “Make it Rain” video, courtesy of Illanoize Records, with artists such as R. Kelly, Lil’ Wayne, Baby, T.I., and Rick Ross. Good Grades Records is currently in full production on Ace Mac’s album. Good Grades Records has just completed Ace Mac’s sophomore mix tape. It is due to hit the streets this summer. The saga continues as Ace Mac journeys from the sidewalk to the red carpet. Follow this story as Good Grades, Ace Mac, Fat Joe & The Terror Squad takeover the industry to create opportunities for Latinos in the hip-hop community

Baby, It's Fact

CAPICOM

CAPICOM is a recent addition to the various bits of software Microsoft Update's website covers in its scope of fixes and optional updates for Windows-based operating systems. CAPICOM, or Cryptographic API (Application Program Interface) Component Object Model, is an ActiveX control that allows Microsoft software developers to add cryptography functions from the CryptoAPI to their projects. CAPICOM is a fully redistributable free of charge and is available as an SDK (Software Development Kit) from Microsoft's MSDN website (and fixes are now available through Microsoft Update).

In May of 2007, a serious vulnerability was found in CAPICOM code that allowed a malicious website to take advantage of the ActiveX control in Internet Explorer and take complete control of the victim's system (visitors of such a site using any other browser than Internet Explorer, or with ActiveX controls disabled, would be invulnerable). Since then, Microsoft has added CAPICOM updates to its Microsoft Update page, joining the ranks of Windows, Office, SQL, and others.

Hampden Football League

The Hampden Football League is an Australian rules football competition based in South West Victoria. The league currently has 8 clubs: Warrnambool Blues, South Warrnambool Roosters, North Warrnambool Eagles, Port Fairy Seagulls, Koroit Saints, Cobden Bombers, Terang-Mortlake Bloods and the Camperdown Magpies. In years gone by a teams from Colac and Mortlake have also competed. The Grand Final is played at the Reid Oval in Warrnambool every year even if the teams playing in it were not from Warrnambool. Although in previous years if the Warrnambool Football Club made the Grand Final the venue would be switched to a neutral venue as not to give Warrnambool a home ground advantage. Each club fields a Seniors, Reserves and Under 18's football side as well as A Grade, A1, A2, U/17's, U/15's and U/13's netball sides. Games are usually played on a Saturday although traditional herritage matches (Warrnambool V South - Koroit V Port Fairy - Camperdown V Cobden - Terang-Mortlake V North Warrnambool) are sometimes played on Sunday's to increase crowds. Friday night games are also occasionally played at Cobden.

Two-Track-MAC

Two-Track-MAC (aka TTMAC), is a message authentication code algorithm, created by Bart Van Rompay and Bert den Boer.

Description

Two-Track-MAC is a modification of the RIPEMD-160 hash function, which works by separating the two 'tracks' of the compression function. It operates on blocks of 512 bits with a secret key of 160 bits and has an output size of up to 160 bits. It has been placed in the public domain. It was a selected algorithm in the NESSIE project.

It is designed to be deployed in any environment, with particular efficiency in software on 32-bit machines. It uses only slightly more operations than the original RIPEMD-160; the authors report reaching 97% of the speed of RIPEMD-160. They estimate an optimized assembly version would reach 16 cycles per byte, with negligible (10 cycles) time for key setup. It is particularly when efficient operating on short messages. It has optimal key agility - a key change will not slow down computation.

Pseudo-code, a reference implementation, and test vectors are available.

Security Properties

It has a proof of security based on the assumption that the underlying compression function is pseudo-random. It has a high level of security against attacks based on internal collisions - for an output size of 160 bits, such attacks need about 2^160 known text-MAC pairs and about 2^160 chosen texts. For an exhaustive search, about 2^159 MAC computations are needed.

TTMAC offered the highest level of security of any MAC selected by NESSIE due to its large internal state size - 320 bits, twice as large as other MACs based on RIPEMD-160 or SHA-1 (which make up the vast majority of HMACs).

NESSIE is a 3 year European government-funded research project to find secure cryptographic primitives, involving some of the best cryptographers in the world; making it through and being recommended is obviously very difficult. All the other selected MAC algorithms currently have entries.

Smarter Goals

Confucius say: "Man who aim at nothing is sure to hit it..."

A goal identifies a result that you wish to achieve. The following are some steps to make a goal SMARTER

S Specific - The Outcome or results desired. The ore detail the better.
Keep outcomes framed in positive terms to ensure we use our subconscious to help us move towards what we wish to achieve.

M Measurable - You need to be able to identify when the outcome has been reached or how will you know? 

A Attainable (but challenging). We have the necessary experience, skills, knowledge and attitude to be able to work on achieving our goals.

R Realistic (worthwhile). Is the goal something we really desire? Their needs to be some emotional connection to trigger strong motivation to keep our mind on the job.
We can think of reasons why we do not wish to stay in the status quo and reasons that will attract us to take action
to move towards our goals to help realise our goal and therefore make it realistic.

T Time-frames (assign deadlines). To better reach the deadline for your goal you ca set time frames for important steps required to reach your goal.
A goal without a timeframe can be only a dream.

E Evaluate honestly check progress at each important stage so that you have information that can be applied to correct your course. 

R Re-do (apply the evaluation feedback). No action can take place without an equal and opposite re-action.
 Every step you take towards your goal will have consequences and affects that may change the original conditions you worked from when setting your goal.
 Therefore expect some things will change (maybe for the better, maybe for the worse) 
and look for opportunities to keep on track or perhaps you can review your goal outcomes to take advantage of new opportunities that arise.
