		<title>Detecting Malicious Malware</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Malware can infect networks and devices and is designed to harm those devices, networks and their users in some way. While many malware spreads through email, web links or other means, some computers, routers and mobile devices are more vulnerable, so learning how to avoid malware is important. These devices are often configured to allow unauthorized connections. This article covers techniques to detect malicious connections and exploits that can enable malware to gain control over vulnerable devices. Also included are several simple ways to block malware that try to infect your devices. Common methods for detecting malicious traffic Enumerating incoming connections on affected devices Many network connections originate from a variety of devices, such as cellular phones, smartphones, Ethernet cable modems, USB cards, and other devices.

		<title>So Much Catch-Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s all gone by in a blur&#8230; Screenings galore from Honolulu to Helsinki. Doing dozens of interviews. Unexpectedly coming aboard a new doc as Executive Producer. It wins the Best Director prize for U.S. documentaries at Sundance. Continued praise for The Kids makes my hat size swell. It&#8217;s enough to make a boy feel, well&#8230; resurrected!]]></description>

		<title>The Subject Strikes Back: Lucy Block on &#8216;The Kids Grow Up&#8217;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whenever you make a personal doc, you have to brace for people ripping you, and sometimes in a very personal way.  I&#8217;m still amazed that so few slings and arrows have come my way for &#8217;51 Birch Street&#8217; over the years.  But with &#8216;The Kids Grow Up&#8217; opening this Friday in NY, I&#8217;m steeling myself again, and probably with more reason. It&#8217;s one thing to put your parents under the probing lens of your camera, quite another to put your young daughter there.  So I&#8217;m gonna get shots taken at me.  In fact, I already have (for the record, Doug Block does like his daughter Lucy).  Luckily, I also have my strong supporters. But one important thing is that the shots will come at me and not Lucy (or so I&#8217;d like to believe).  Another is that I not only made exactly the film I wanted to make, but that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Countdown to Launch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In advance of our premiere at the Angelika Film Center this Friday, two great articles on The Kids in the papers today. The New York Times piece goes more in depth (and gives the film some serious real estate), The New York Daily News opts mainly for a director interview. More press coverage coming in the days ahead, as well: The Village Voice, Wall Street Journal and indieWIRE, among others. Thanks and kudos to our extraordinary publicist, Susan Norget, who&#8217;s believed in the film from the moment she saw it at our first industry screening last fall.  Our entire print ad budget will pay for exactly two postage-stamp sized ads in the Times.  And journalists, face it, generally aren&#8217;t interested in any film that isn&#8217;t celebrity driven, much less a personal documentary.   So you can see what kind of job she&#8217;s done. And now it all comes down to getting butts in the seats [...]]]></description>

		<title>Modern Media Man Summit &#8211; Day 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[9:50 EST &#8211; Ok, I give Cal Ripken credit.  Expected he&#8217;d just roll in, do a 15-minute shtick, collect his substantial fee and beat it.  But he spent almost an hour giving a talk by the indoor pool, telling baseball stories with leadership themes, answering questions, posing for photos and signing autographs (the dire warnings apparently didn&#8217;t come from him).  Can&#8217;t say he said anything particularly memorable but it was a living example of his impressive ironman work ethic.  Couldn&#8217;t bring myself to hand him a dvd, though I had my chance.  It just felt too cheesy. Afterwards, talked to a few bloggers over drinks and chicken wings.  They seemed genuinely excited by The Kids, eager to see it.  These guys want to shoot an interview tomorrow.  Another is pushing a book driven by his popular blog and is clearly knowlegable about how to drive sales online.  Collected a handful of business cards, now flavored with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starting Tomorrow, Call Me Mister Modern Media Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you have a movie opening soon in theaters that&#8217;s essentially a documentary about your daughter (ok, it&#8217;s a lot more, but still) and you have little money to market it, you better get pretty damned creative with your marketing.  And you better get your sorry ass in gear and start blogging, too. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;ll be in Atlanta for the next 3 days at a noteworthy event called the Modern Media Man Summit.  Saturday morning I&#8217;ll be speaking on a panel called &#8220;Over-Sharing: When it comes to your family, how much is too much?&#8221;  It&#8217;s meant for bloggers but could there possibly be a more apropos topic for someone who makes personal docs about his family (not to mention, his teenage daughter!)? If nothing else, the Summit should bring up lots of food for thought.  How are men experiencing fatherhood these days?  How are they writing about it?  Will [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Edge of Dreaming on POV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So you know, the last three years haven&#8217;t been exclusively about THE KIDS GROW UP. A truly extraordinary personal documentary that I helped produce will air in the U.S. on POV tomorrow night (Tuesday).  Amy Hardie&#8217;s THE EDGE OF DREAMING takes on the subject of dreams.  And particularly what happens when Amy &#8212; a science filmmaker, skeptic and happy mother of three &#8212; dreams that her own death will take place within the year.  Then her health progressively starts failing. THE EDGE OF DREAMING is one of those rare films that will stay with you long after you&#8217;ve seen it.  I&#8217;m very proud to have played a role in it, and want to acknowledge the contributions of my fellow producers &#8211; Amy, Lori Cheatle and George Chignell.  It&#8217;s been a long haul, but tomorrow is one of the great payoffs. So make a date with your local PBS station, 10pm [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Special Jury Prize At Silverdocs, And Something Even Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a sweet few days for The Kids at Silverdocs.  And not just because we came away from it with a Special Jury Prize in the feature docs competition.  The first screening was Lucy&#8217;s first time seeing the film with an audience, and the first time she took part in a Q&#38;A.   Since she&#8217;s been away most of the past year studying abroad in Buenos Aires, we haven&#8217;t talked much about the film, either.   Partly by design but mostly following Lucy&#8217;s lead.  She hasn&#8217;t really wanted to talk much about it.  So, needless to say, I was more than a bit nervous about what her reaction would be.  Not so much about the film itself, but in seeing herself up on the big screen in front of strangers. As she later admitted, the first Q&#38;A (above) was hard.   She looked a bit shell-shocked and her answers were pretty brief and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shadow Distribution Picks Up &#8220;The Kids Grow Up&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As announced in indieWIRE and other trades yesterday, Shadow Distribution will handle the North American theatrical release of Doug Block&#8217;s feature documentary &#8220;The Kids Grow Up.&#8221;  The film will premiere on Oct 29 at the Angelika Film Center in New York City before expanding its run to other cities (including the Laemmle Sunset 5 in LA on Nov 12). Block tackles a similar personal narrative in his follow up to his acclaimed documentary “51 Birch Street,” in which Block dissected his parents’ marriage and his relationship with his father. In a similar vein, “The Kids Grow Up” explores the director’s own bond with his daughter. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring this moving, honest, funny, beautiful and important film to North American audiences,” said Shadow president Ken Eisen. “Doug’s made a film that’s truly universal precisely because it’s so personal.”]]></description>
