Amy and Samy Bouzaglo took to their Facebook page to defend their restaurant, but their defense has devolved into numerous expletive-filled statuses on their Facebook page, which only fed the fire when the posts spread online. <p>Read more: http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region_northeast_valley/scottsdale/amys-baking-company-has-facebook-meltdown-over-internet-criticism#ixzz2TKXaCsZy Tue, 14 May 2013 23:58:01 -0400 pirate http://www.drudge.com/news/168370/internet-meltdown-after-kitchen-nightmares#discuss tag:drudge.com,2005:weblog.168370 discussion, 0.5 daily 168370 http://www.drudge.com/news/167790/two-7th-grade-girls-threaten-kill http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/04/26/17928508-2-girls-threaten-to-kill-classmates-in-youtube-video-authorities-say?lite A pair of seventh-grade girls in New Jersey have been pulled from school after allegedly posting a video on YouTube in which they threatened to kill several classmates, authorities said.

All of the Hostess snack brands will return, some in August and September. Hiring will not be in conjunction with the unions, Cramer said. "We're sure not going to invite the unions in. We don't have to do it," he said. Though nothing prevents the workers from unionizing down the line, he said. Two hedge funds paid $410 million for the bulk of the Hostess Snacks brands in April after Hostess Brands, Inc., closed all of its bakeries and put its assets up for sale.

Pasadena fire Capt. Art Hurtado was shopping at the store and made us of makeshift supplies to save the man's life. "I started asking for a lot of towels," Hurtado said. "They finally showed up with a large packet of quarter-inch rope, nylon rope. And I ripped it open and just stretched it out, and I told the police officer I want 24-inch sections. Just start cutting."

It's a kind of "dark" Google, looking for the servers, webcams, printers, routers and all the other stuff that is connected to and makes up the Internet. Shodan searchers have found control systems for a water park, a gas station, a hotel wine cooler and a crematorium. Cybersecurity researchers have even located command and control systems for nuclear power plants and a particle-accelerating cyclotron by using Shodan. What's really noteworthy about Shodan's ability to find all of this -- and what makes Shodan so scary -- is that very few of those devices have any kind of security built into them.
