|missed meds 4 days
Feb 13, 2004
My Thai wife lives in a small village in Northern Thailand and last week we had a problem receiving meds on time. She missed her meds for 4 days in a row. I am very concerned and was wondering how significant this may be? My wife has been on meds for almost 2 years and has been at least 99 adherent up to this point. Current regimen is Crixivan, Norvir, 3TC and AZT. Last numbers in Dec.03 were VL-undetectable and CD-4 - 70 (6). Thank you!
Response from Dr. Sherer
You are correct to be concerned, since we think the best way to take medications is to not miss a single dose.
On the other hand, numerous studies have shown that in most cases (>90%), if a person with a viral load < 50 on their current regimen stops all their medications at the same time for whatever reason, and then resumes them all together when they resume therapy, the chances of preserving the excellent viral load response is very high. This is particularly true for the protease inhibitors, which have a higher genetic barrier to resistance.
And finally, Dybul and others have shown that following suppression of a fully suppressive regimen, viremia does not occur immediately, and usually requires 7 days to be detectable. This was the basis for the 7 days on and 7 days off treatment interruption studies.
Taken together, your wife has an excellent chance of staying below detection with the resumption of her medications at the same time, particularly because the interruption in therapy was only 4 days.
So, the key take home message here is, the best strategy is to take all PI regimens as prescribed, every day. If that is not possible for whatever reason, the next best strategy is to stop them all, at the same time.
New data at the Retrovirus Conference requires that I mention that a different situation exists for the NNRTIs, i.e. nevirapine and efavirenz, which may last for more than one week when an NNRTI -containing regimen is stopped due to their longer half-life in the bloodstream. For this reason, the British HIV treatment guidelines advise patients on NNRTIs who have to stop a regimen for whatever reason to stop the NNRTI first, and keep taking the NRTIs for another week. An alternative strategy to pursue (always in discussion with your doctor) is to stop the NNRTI (eg EFV or NVP) and take a protease inhibitor instead for the last week while the blood levels are falling for the EFV or NVP. As I suggested, patients in this situation should discuss their options with their doctor.

BATAVIA – The win was nice, but St. Charles North boys basketball coach Tom Poulin might remember Friday's game against Batavia most for the 45 minutes that weren't spent playing basketball.
A gym-clearing fire alarm during the first quarter set a quirky tone for Friday's Upstate Eight Conference River game, eventually won by North, 48-42.
"[Assistant coach] Rob Prentiss always tells me, you coach long enough, you'll see everything," Poulin said. "It's the first I've seen, and he's been coaching 30 years, and he hasn't seen that. We'll remember it.
"I think that might be the most memorable part of the game."
After a sluggish first 5 minutes-plus of play, the night took a bizarre turn when the fire alarm sounded in the gymnasium. Officials tried to swiftly troubleshoot but, after a couple minutes of confusion, the crowd was asked to head to the exits.
Given the frigid temperature, fans were eventually directed to wait for the "All clear" sign inside the school's fieldhouse.
That's where the North Stars waited out most of the delay.
"We were right by a door. We weren't in imminent danger," Poulin said. "I thought it was more dangerous to bring the guys outside in 5-below or whatever it is in their shorts and a jacket. The fieldhouse was pretty warm, so we hung out there after going outside initially."
Batavia coach Jim Nazos recalled one similar incident during his coaching career years ago when he was at Wheaton North.
"I still have no idea what happened [on Friday]," Batavia coach Jim Nazos said after the game. "I noticed the hallway smelled [like smoke] here so there was something that actually happened."
Scoring was at a premium for both teams but the North Stars (13-7, 7-3 UEC River) don't mind winning ugly at this stage of the season.
"We're trying to get ourselves into that tournament mindset of win no matter how you have to do it," Poulin said. "No matter if it's ugly, pretty. So after the game we just said we'll watch the film and critique ourselves but right now it's just about getting the 'W.' I don't care if it's 48-42 or 98-92. We want to win."
Batavia led, 3-2, with 2:37 to play in the first quarter at the time of the delay, which lasted about 45 minutes. The first half ended in fittingly strange fashion as North's Jake Ludwig was fouled on a fast break with no time left on the clock. Ludwig hit both free throws to give North a 19-18 edge.
The teams were tied at 32 entering the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs failed to score in the fourth until a Ryan Olson baseline jumper cut North's lead to 36-34 with 3:15 to play.
North's Alec Goetz then canned a corner 3-pointer for a 39-34 North lead. Batavia's Micah Coffey answered with a 3-pointer to make it 39-37 at the 2:51 mark, but Jack Callaghan (nine points, 14 rebounds) drove for a basket to make it a two-possession game, and the Bulldogs (6-14, 1-9 UEC River) were in dire shape the rest of the way.
Ludwig scored 14 of his game-high 16 points in the second half. Goetz added 12 for North, which was officially eliminated from conference contention Friday with Larkin's win over Elgin.
Batavia hadn't played in two weeks after inclement weather canceled a trip to Rock Island this weekend, and the Bulldogs seemingly used their extended practice time to sharpen their man-to-man defense.
"It was hard for us to get started during that game," Ludwig said. "They were playing good gap defense and they were closing out on our shooters well."
Bulldogs sophomore guard Canaan Coffey scored 11 of his team-high 14 points in the third quarter, including a four-point play late in the quarter to give the Bulldogs a 32-29 lead.
Senior Micah Coffey added 11 points and Olson added nine points off the bench for the Bulldogs.
Batavia's annual Night of Hoops is tonight, with the Bulldogs to play the nightcap of the quadrupleheader against St. Joseph.

Submission + - FCC rules that Verizon cannot charge for tethering (zdnet.com)
schleprock63 writes: "The FCC ruled today that Verizon cannot charge extra for users for 4G WiFi tethering. The FCC used the original agreement in the auction of the C block spectrum which said "licensees offering service on C Block spectrum 'shall not deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network, subject to narrow exceptions". So Verizon cannot charge for tethering on 4G service, this begs the question of whether they can continue to charge for tethering on 3G or 1x?"

Lionel Messi was ruled out of Barcelona's 5-0 victory over Real Mallorca on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.
The Argentine superstar tweaked the muscles whilst firing a long-range shot which went narrowly wide.
Millions of Barcelona feared the worst for the four-time Ballon D'or winner and were relieved to find out that their star player knock was not as bad as feared.
Lionel Messi is expected to make a sensational recovery and feature for Barcelona in the second leg despite being advised to take two weeks to recovery. But should Barcelona risk him?
This season, the 25-year-old has played 3,193 out of a possible 3,420 minutes in the league and Champions League- meaning he has missed only 227 minutes prior to the Mallorca game.
With Barcelona's tie against PSG perfectly poised following their 2-2 draw in Paris, Messi's teammates can surely complete the job without their star player. The statistics show that, in Champions League games since Messi broke into the first team in 2004, they have won 71% of their games without Messi and only 56% of games with him in the team.
Messi's absence inevitably turns the spotlight to the other forwards in the team.
Midfielder-cum-forward Cesc Fabregas was exceptional for Barcelona against Mallorca in the Messi role bagging an impressive hat trick. Alexis Sanchez was also outstanding with two goals and a couple assists for Barcelona. David Villa did not play with the Champions League in mind.
However, Fabregas and Sanchez have managed just three goals between them in Europe. Pedro is another option although he is struggling with a calf injury but should be fit for the tie.
Lionel Messi will probably start on the bench against PSG ready to be called upon but don't be surprise if the Argentine doesn't feature. Barcelona need their star man fully fit for the run in.

HOUSTON (AP) - Just before his second straight start on Sunday, Zack Greinke was excited to learn that when he takes the mound after the All-Star break he'll become the first pitcher to start three games in a row in one season since 1917.
After giving up three early runs, he grew worried he could end up losing them all.
"I was like: 'It's cool to get three straight starts, but if you lose all three of them, that would be the worst thing ever,'" said Greinke, who took Saturday's loss.
His team ensured he'll avoid that fate by rallying late for a 5-3 win over the Houston Astros in 10 innings.
Corey Hart drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning, and Rickie Weeks' third hit added an insurance run in the victory that wrapped up the first half of the season for both teams.
Nyjer Morgan walked to start the 10th and Fernando Rodriguez (1-8) intentionally walked Braun before a wild pitch moved the pair over.
Rodriguez walked Aramis Ramirez to load the bases before Hart's full-count grounder put Milwaukee on top. Weeks, who homered in the second, singled in the 10th.
Ryan Braun's RBI single tied it at 3 in the eighth and got Greinke off the hook after he allowed three runs in the first.
Manny Parra (1-3) pitched a perfect ninth for the win and John Axford allowed two hits in a scoreless 10th for his 15th save.
Greinke threw just four pitches Saturday before he was ejected after spiking the ball following a close play at first base during a 6-3 loss at Houston. So the Brewers gave him another shot on Sunday.
"Overall it wasn't great, but we played until the end and everyone else did their part and we pulled a win out of it," he said.
Greinke is the first pitcher in the majors to start consecutive games since C.J. Wilson of the Angels on May 11-12.
The last Brewers pitcher to start consecutive games was CC Sabathia, who started the game before and after the All-Star break in 2008.
Greinke also is scheduled to start Milwaukee's first game after the break on Friday. That would make him the first pitcher to start three straight games in one season since Red Faber for the Chicago White Sox in 1917, according to stats provided by the Brewers from the Elias Sports Bureau.
"I'm considering it a record. Even though it's been done before, I feel like it's the first time ever being done," Greinke said. "I'm excited about it. Hopefully the results will be better. I think it's really neat, but I don't know if anyone else does."
Much like the day before, things went wrong quickly on Sunday for the 2009 AL Cy Young winner.
But after the Astros jumped on Greinke in the first inning, they were unable to muster much offense the rest of the way.
Greinke settled down after that to pitch two scoreless innings before being replaced by Marco Estrada, who was originally scheduled to start Sunday. Greinke allowed five hits and three runs with five strikeouts.
"Zack struggled a little bit in the first inning and that kept him from going deeper into the game," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "The next two innings (he was) OK. He was fatigued after that."
The solo homer by Weeks in the second inning gave him two in the last three games. He finished the series 4 for 12 with two homers and five RBIs, an encouraging performance after scuffling at the plate this season.
Houston starter Jordan Lyles retired 10 straight before Braun doubled to start the sixth. Ramirez sent him home with a single to center field to cut Houston's lead to 3-2.
Scott Moore extended his hitting streak to a career-high nine games with a two-out single in the second inning. But the Astros offense went cold after that, and Houston didn't get another baserunner until Jed Lowrie walked to start the bottom of the sixth.
The Brewers still faced the minimum in that inning thanks to a double play, and relievers Jose Veras, Francisco Rodriguez and Parra shut down Houston for the next three innings. "We just could not get anything started," Houston manager Brad Mills said. "That was the biggest thing."
Jordan Schafer led off with a single and scored on a double by Jose Altuve. A wild pitch followed before Greinke got the first out. J.D. Martinez pushed the lead to 2-0 with a run-scoring single before a two-out single by Chris Johnson.
Brian Bogusevic walked before a bases-loaded walk by Chris Snyder sent another runner home.
He finally got out of the inning by striking out Lyles on his 39th pitch.
NOTES: Milwaukee optioned INF Taylor Green to Triple-A Nashville ... Houston optioned INF Matt Dominguez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. ... Houston OF Justin Maxwell, on the DL with an injured left ankle, went 1 for 4 in his second rehabilitation start for Oklahoma City on Saturday night and Mills expects him to come off the DL on Friday. ... Houston reliever Wilton Lopez, on the DL with a sprained right elbow, pitched one inning in his second rehabilitation start for Oklahoma City on Saturday night.

Committee begins hearings on latest oil tax reform plan
JUNEAU (AP) — Alaska's revenue commissioner said Jan. 22 that he's seen no evidence that tax credits to oil companies have led to increased production.
Bryan Butcher said in an interview that that's not to say evidence doesn't exist. But he said he hasn't seen a direct connection between the credits and increased production.
Butcher was among the administration officials testifying Jan. 22 before a Senate committee that began working on Gov. Sean Parnell's plan to cut oil production taxes.
Parnell has proposed overhauling Alaska's oil tax structure, with the goal of making Alaska more competitive and encouraging new production. The plan would eliminate the progressive surcharge that companies have said is a disincentive to new investment and revamp a suite of tax credits, focusing on companies that produce new oil on the North Slope.
Tax credits under the current system could top $1 billion next fiscal year alone.
Butcher said the companies aren't doing anything wrong by claiming credits, but he said the credits could put a strain on the state, particularly if oil prices — and oil revenues — tanked.
Alaska's existing tax structure features a 25 percent base tax rate and progressive surcharge triggered when a company's production tax value hits $30 a barrel. The idea when it was passed in 2007 was that the state would help companies on the front end by providing such things as tax credits and share profits on the back end when oil flowed and prices were high.
Besides industry complaints about the surcharge, which companies say eat too deeply into profits when oil prices are high, lawmakers have questioned what the state is getting in return for tax credits.
Parnell has proposed keeping the base tax rate but not the surcharge. His plan would include a tax break for oil from new fields, including, he has said, new areas of Prudhoe Bay and Kuparuk, long the mainstay of Alaska's oil industry. His plan would keep in place credits for exploration but eliminate credits for qualified capital expenditures on the North Slope. It also would gear other credits toward production of new oil.
Parnell has said he wants to restore balance to the system, and to make it simpler and durable, so lawmakers don't need to go back and tinker with it every few years. He said he also wants any tax plan to be fair to Alaskans.
Natural Resources Commissioner Dan Sullivan said there's an issue of fairness not only for the current generation but also for future generations. He said it's not fair to Alaskans if the status quo means a continued decline in production.
An analysis of the bill provided by the administration shows the plan would cost the state $900 million next fiscal year and as much as $1.1 billion by 2018. The fiscal note estimates were based on the Department of Revenue's fall forecast for oil prices and production, which predicts a continued net decline in North Slope production and oil prices ranging from about $109 a barrel next year to $118 in 2019.
Democrats say the plan could cost the state billions of dollars a year when oil prices are high, starting around $125 a barrel or higher. They have branded it a giveaway to the oil industry and dangerous for the state's economic future.
Some Republicans have also raised questions. Rep. Paul Seaton, R-Homer, said the surcharge is the element "responsible for almost all of the budget surpluses generated in the last five years."
In a constituent newsletter sent Jan. 21, he said what is most confusing about the administration's approach is that progressivity is the element that provides the tax incentive to reinvest in Alaska — that is, spend more, get more of a tax break. He said he looked forward to hearing more details. Seaton has introduced a bill of his own to address the oil tax and competitiveness issue.
Sen. Peter Micciche, who co-chairs the Senate committee on oil flowing through the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, said the panel plans to pass the bill on to Senate Resources by Feb. 7. Industry testimony is planned for next week in his committee.

The Dutchman said that everybody had expected India to win the encounter easily and was happy that his team had played up to the expectations.
"Yes, there was expectation from everyone. But it adds extra pressure for the players. We were in the driver's seat after we went 2-0 up. Once you score the first goal and then get another one in quick succession, the opposition is most likely to break down.But I have all the respect for the Guam guys, who fought really hard. There were many more chances created. But, that's what football is. You have to put the ball into the net to get the credit. But anyways, I am happy with the result."
Koevermans also denied the allegation that the first goal was from an offside position. He expressed his opinion that all these incidents are part of the game and they themselves had been at the receiving end quote a few times. Wim, however looked concerned about the number of miss passes that his team had played.
"I told the boys that we have to improve in that aspect. We were very sloppy at times and gave away the ball. These things should not happen in the coming matches," he added.
"Our aim was to seal three points. The start was not good for us. The first chance of the match came in the way of Guam when they hit the post in the early minutes. This was a real shocker for our side. However, the boys recovered well and as the game went on, we had more control over the proceedings. The best part of this match is that we created so many chances. Looking at the number of chances created, we could have scored 10 goals today," claimed the coach.
Now with Myanmar and Chinese Taipei playing out a 1-1 draw, India only need a point against Myanmar in the last group game on Wednesday, but Koevermans wanted nothing less than a win to seal their progress.
"Yes, I think we can win that fixture. That will be a very interesting encounter. But I guess we have the potential. Also, we need to beat the higher placed teams in order to go up in the FIFA rankings. I hope that we will be able to keep up the tempo," he signed off.

Norwich City have signed Dutch international striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon for an undisclosed fee as announced by their official website.
Van Wolfswinkel will join the Canaries, subject to paperwork, for an undisclosed fee on a 4-year-contract that will see the 24-year-old begin his Norwich career for the 2014/2015.
Van Wolfswinkel started his career with Vitesse Armhem and worked his way up through the youth team, making his first-team debut in 2008. That season he scored 8 goals in 35 games.
Ricky Van Wolfswinkel currently plays in the Portuguese league and has been a very impressive goal scorer; notching up 82 goals in 188 appearances for Sporing Lisbon, FC Utrecht and Vitesse Arnhem.
This impressive form led Chris Hughton to act quickly for the lethal Dutchman, securing his signature well before the transfer window opens in July.
With the capture of the striker it will no doubt improve the squad's goal-scoring tally next season.
Speaking on the Canaries club website, Chris Hughton stated:
"Ricky's profile is a perfect fit for us – he's young, ambitious and a proven goal-scorer. "He has an excellent goal-scoring pedigree and he's a young man very keen to continue his personal progression and to play in England. He's already an exciting talent but he still has more development as a player ahead of him.
"I'm delighted we've been able to agree a deal with Sporting Lisbon and with Ricky and we look forward to welcoming him to the squad in July, once all of the paperwork gets sorted out."

Nicholls criticial of Smith for Kauto switch
Paul Nicholls has spoken of his sadness and upset that Kauto Star has left his care.
Clive Smith, owner of the two-time Gold Cup winner, revealed that Kauto Star had been sent to Laura Collett to train as a potential eventer.
The move has caused widespread debate, with many feeling the 12-year-old should have been allowed to see out his days in the care of Nicholls' assistant Clifford Baker.
Nicholls has now broken his silence on the subject and has criticised Smith for failing to consult him and his team about Kauto Star's career change.
"It is with great sadness that I have to report that Kauto Star has left the yard for the last time," Nicholls wrote in his column on Betfair. "It has been no secret that Kauto's future has been a great source of debate since we announced his retirement.
"And, to be brutally honest, this morning I felt the time had finally come for me to take control of the situation, and to start making the decisions.
"Now, I am fully aware that Kauto is Clive's horse and he can do as he wishes, even though I would personally have loved Clifford to have looked after him for the rest of his years.
"But what upset me and my team here is when Clive announced that he had spoken to experts about the horse's future - but failed to consult and listen properly to the team that had looked after him here for the past nine years.
"That really upset us.
"So we had a team meeting here this morning. And after listening to everybody involved - there were about six of us in the meeting - I rang up Clive, said I don't want to fall out, but we think it is in the best interests of everybody concerned to take Kauto to Yogi Breisner's this afternoon so that he could start his new career in the eventing field as soon as possible.
"Which we did with the saddest of hearts. But I like to think with a lot of dignity, too. And, yes, there were plenty of tears too. He was a member of the family here at Ditcheat, and we will all miss him so much."

Introduced in the summer of 2007 as one of the new interactive elements in our barnyard renovation, the Children's Garden is a place where kids can see where food we eat comes from and how it grows.
Each spring, the Zoo Horticulture Committee plants the garden with vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. Then, throughout the summer, children get to help water the garden with kid-sized pitchers they can dip into a large water tub.
Each time they visit the Zoo, kids can water the garden and observe how it has grown since their last visit. And, what's extra special, is that we are able to use produce from the Children's Garden to help feed some the Zoo's own animals.
So, every time a child helps water the Children's Garden they are personally connecting with the fascinating world of agriculture, as well as helping feed the animals at the Zoo!

WE'RE thinking about a Seachange.
Earlier in the year as mentioned in this space, we considered putting Struggle Street on the market. It was a big decision. We even had a real estate type look over the place. He turned up dressed like he was about to head into a nuclear disaster, saying he'd heard bad things about Struggle Street. Bravely he did an inspection then suggested we turn to the power of prayer.
"A good flood to wash this dump away would be your best bet,'' he explained.
"It's the only way you'll get any money, providing of course it's insured. So start praying for some heavy rain.''
We carefully explained that Struggle Street is well away from a flood zone.
"So pray a bit harder,'' he replied.
And that was that. Struggle Street remained in our possession. It was off the market before it was ever on. The strange ways of the real estate world, we pondered. And never trust a real estate agent. Flood indeed.
But that was then. Time and circumstances can change quickly, even on Struggle Street.
We've been considering a move to a more coastal location ever since we couldn't think of anything else to write in today's column.
But where to go? Given no other news media would be likely to employ an aged sports writer/occasional columnist, we suppose we're going to have to continue working here. So obviously a move to some exotic location is out of the question unless the office Lotto syndicate finally comes good.
We can't imagine living at Old Bar. With the speed the place is eroding, Old Bar will be moving to Struggle Street soon enough, so why go out there?
We're too young to go to Harrington and Crowdy Head doesn't have a hotel, so rule them out. Black Head has a hotel and a bowling club. But they can't even work out how to spell the name of the place - Blackhead or Black Head. Or is it Hallidays Point? So put a line through Blackhead, Black Head and Hallidays Point. A bit too close to Nabiac and its ilk for our liking as well, for reasons we shan't go into here.
So that leaves Forster-Tuncurry. The Great Lakes. Far enough away to say we've left the hovel that is Struggle Street but close enough to drive to this journal.
We know Forster-Tuncurry has many natural attractions - the Lakes and Oceans, Bellevue, Sporties club and the Harry Elliott Oval. Come to think about it, we had our first beer in a pub, in the beer garden at Forster's Lakes and Ocean Hotel, sometime back in mid to late 1970s, so we have history.
And there's no shortage of Taree Seachangers now living out Forster-Tuncurry way. So we'd have no trouble fitting in. This is win-win.
We can easily envisage spending weekends in winter watching the Forster-Tuncurry Hawks run around, or limp around, as was the case last season. The roads out there also appear to be remarkably pot hole free, another plus.
Summers would be idyllic out Forster way, we'd imagine. Okay, the Christmas holidays might get a bit hectic what with the hordes of bloody tourists (we're already starting to dislike them), but given we spend most of January in the editor's office while Editor Bell is luxuriating up north somewhere, we probably wouldn't notice.
Yes, a new start. We're looking forward to it already. Anyone know the name of a good real estate agent? Or how to start a flood?

"Two years ago at the UNFCCC conference in Cancun, negotiators agreed that the world would seek to limit global average temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius," Andrew Steer, WRI's president, said during a recent press call. "We are not on track for that. We're a long way off, and the situation is very urgent."
That's why the upcoming U.N. climate negotiations in Doha, Qatar (COP 18) are so critically important. As sea level rise, wildfires, and devastating droughts showcase, climate change's impacts are already being felt across the globe. Meanwhile, extreme weather events—most recently, Hurricane Sandy—serve as powerful reminders of what will likely become more and more the norm if action is not taken.

Special to The Breeze
"What a little trouper you are," Dot Lee told the severely injured raccoon who finally yawned after days in a near-comatose state.
With that exclamation, Trouper's life and recovery have become celebrated in a book, speeches and appearances as well as on the Web. (Visit his website www.trouperraccoon.com or his facebook page, Trouper Lee.) On Sept. 5, at 2 p.m., Trouper and his amazing caretaker Dot Lee and author Kyle L. Miller will be at the Cape Coral Library where Trouper, whose injuries destroyed his sight, will amaze with his many unusual abilities. The program will fascinate any and all ages but students, especially, may want to take advantage of the opportunity to become certified teachers in the Wildlife Education Program. That Trouper is an eager poser for photos is one of the many lovable qualities he possesses. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cape Coral Library, registration is required - but the event is free.
On Sept. 21, at 10 a.m., The Friends of the Cape Coral Library have their first general meeting, following a summer hiatus. The public is invited to join the Friends for a morning of book and author discussions - a summer reading review of sorts. This is an opportunity to look the Friends over and enjoy the refreshments and the conversation.
On Sept. 24, at 9 a.m., Books and Banter returns after an August break. Discussions of favorite books and authors will be the topic.
Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and Fridays at 10 a.m., throughout September - The English Caf is open to provide 90-minute sessions for adults to practice their "ingles" with the locals. Subjects include current events, cultural issues and life situations. Registration is not required.
Mondays at 3:30 p.m. - Craft Corner is open for knitting and crocheting projects. Materials are provided - or bring projects in progress. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cape Coral Library, registration is required.
Tuesdays at 5:30 p.m. - Chess Anyone? Gives participants the chance to rise to the chess challenge. Everyone is welcome and sets are provided - or bring a personal set. Sponsored by the Friends of the Cape Coral Library.

Art Gallery
In the Library Art Gallery through Sept.14:
Works by four members of the Cape Coral Art League are still on exhibit. A variety of different mediums are on display.
Barbara Hewitt's art journey began in childhood, in Michigan, and she continues to experiment in watercolor, acrylics and collage on paper and canvas. She has won awards in Southwest Florida and in her native state of Michigan for her seashores, birds, tropical vegetation and beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
Analilia Clay's paintings and drawings are also displayed in the library gallery. In addition to creating the two-dimensional art displayed in this exhibit, she dabbles in a variety of media: etching, sculpture, clay and wood carving. "I am currently working to master the art of Sumi-e. I have always loved this particular art form and have been wanting to experience it. With the guidance of a good artist friend of mine, Lynne Kemper, and a couple of workshops with accomplished Sumi-e Artist Frederica Marshall, I have finally been experiencing the wonderful art of Sumi-e," she said.
Randy Clay's pottery will remain on display. Clay has been creating pottery for forty years, creations not only known for their beauty but their function. "I find that experimenting with different clay bodies and glaze exhilarate because the combinations are endless with many pleasant surprises when I open the kiln after firing." Clay is also an award-winning photographer.
Naldyne K. Knight owns and operates Dolphin Wave Glass. She makes glass art pieces and creates custom commissioned pieces in fused glass bowls, dishes, jewelry and other unique glass art forms. Currently, she is working with AAE Glass where she teaches entry and midlevel classes and continues her advanced education. Naldyne is a self-starter with exposure working with many other mediums such as PMC, silver wrapping and glass bead making.
Katherine Busch is an associate artist at Dolphin Wave Glass. She has been working with glass for ten years and enjoys making beautiful, yet functional, art glass pieces.

- A Vacation In Prison
A lot of you have been wondering where to travel for your vacations this year; so have I. Where can we go that some crazy Arab isnt going to blow up with a suicide truck filled with explosives.
Do you think Venice and Paris are safe?. Would you dare to spend a day at the beach lolling at Club Med when you think of who is out there in the jungle with a jeep filled with dynamite?
Do you want to take a trip to Washington or New York? Hey, thats where the crazies come after you with airplanes.
It doesn't have to be Arabs either that do the big number on your head. It can be some patriot like Timothy McVeigh, making a big bomb out of cow turds, taking out your fancy hotel, machine gunning you and your family at the beach because he is still fighting the Civil War.
Maybe some of you out there are certified suicide bombers; how would I know? Baby, maybe Im about to blow you up. Thanks, folks, for trusting me not to do it. I sure as hell dont know whether I trust you.
With all this political craziness out there these days, we have to give up on the old fashioned places for a vacation. We maybe need to relax in some kind of fortress. We may even live in one. Its not much fun to take it easy in a place or with a lover youre all too familiar with. We can always lock ourselves in a room, bolt the door, watch reruns of television game shows with a shotgun in our lap; I wouldnt call that amusing.
Part of a good vacation is the mild sense of the exotic, the marginal feeling of danger in a weird and eerie moonscape. We look for that mild stink of death. Peril is reality to us. Comfort is the plush carpeting of the grave.
Thats why I have this brochure I am offering you: all about a new way to have fun, even get an education about the modern world without ever getting hurt by any of the natives. Im talking about a tour of our wonderful new prisons and loony bins of course. Theyre fascinating as Club Med or Tiajuana; theres no place safer. They just seem scary.
America has more and varied prisons and crazy houses than any country on Earth; these days we are to locking people up what Mecca is to mosques. We have over three million convicts, five million more hark working Americans laboring at these joints as guards, wardens, caterers, bedclothes salesmen, architects, lawyers, psychiatrists, judges, certified latrine engineers and munitions wholesalers. Some sell stock in themselves. Why not? Only the dead dont need caterers.
If we were to close down our prison and mental lockups in America wed have a Depression. Dont worry; there are plenty of lobbyists talking to our Congress all day long and passing along a buck or two to the right people to make sure our institutions stay open, are easily available to everybody. Theyre working for you not only when youre sleeping but when youre long gone, not even a memory.
We have little laws we are passing now that will change the crimes around every week; our modern crooks will have to get a magazines every Tuesday to find out whats legal. Every year we add two hundred and thirty ways of being diagnosed insane that can get anybody, even dogs and cats, thrown into the slammer though theyve done nothing wrong.
We have elected two presidents with the heavy solidarity of our prison union voting clout; dont think they dont know it. We are not going to let these people out of their cages without a fight, believe me.
As you new tourists might imagine every prison and dump for lunatics isnt the same. We all have our tastes in felons and people gone bonkers; none of us exactly like what everybody else likes. For those of you who want the usual generic big house and trash heap for madmen experience we have a hellova brand name tour that is going to give you not only a general but surprisingly broad experience of the slammers that keeps our country safe.
This tour has both a fast food reliable quality; yet it has its niches that might be blandly amusing though it aims at being suitably brainless for our more moronic clientele. The dollar of an imbecile to us; thank God, is still a dollar, folks. We dont have the prejudices about intelligence or lack of it of a lot of snobs.
Tonight I want to talk mostly about the more select and elite tours; you dont hear about them as much in our advertising. Youve heard of minimum and maximum security lock ups; we take you to the most loose and tight of both. We have the palatial King Farouk Memorial Correctional Institute in a posh suburb of Memphis that many people, maybe some of you, have tried to get into when you think of your stale, penurious and lousy lives. Its like Forest Lawn in Hollywood except everybody is the tomb of tombs is still living.
You can lunch on potato chips in replicas of the Taj Mahal or an exact duplicate of the famous Samoa Hilton. The caterers are all imported from Mexico; these wizards from the land of chili can cook you anything from a Swiss fondue to a hot Setzchuan feast. Nothing is spared on this tour in the way of cunningly spiced and fresh ingredients; statistically there are more truffles devoured at King Farouk than in the entire restaurants of France and Monaco combined.
There are women we put up there culled from the Andean mountains and Patagonian hills mostly, not only beautiful but graduates with honors of local love colleges in their foul native habitats. Theyve all taken immersion courses in Oxford English; your think youre making love to the Queen. In tactile perversions they are educated in a way that makes a geisha seem like an Iowa farm girl.
There is a casino at King Farouk of course, an aery of saunas, an almost authentic Jacuzzi, lots of Olympic swimming pools if any of you are in serious training. Unless you see the fences with the armed guards standing on them with machine guns on the borders of King Farouk mostly trying to keep the people out, you wouldnt surmise all that quickly, folks, this might be a prison.
Believe me it is. Try to get in and see what happens.
You can join the felons at Farouk in a little nightly revel after a quick turn in the pool as if you are a prisoner yourself. How would the locals know the difference? All night long you can have at those little golden colored girls no matter how ugly, inept and dull you are, play roulette in games where the high flying gambler always wins and the house always takes a big bath; you will eat the very sumptuous and inordinately rich fare the serial killers there do.
After a while youll think youre a prisoner yourself. You know youre not though. After six days and five nights you go home; they dont. Some say, what would they? What would they go home to? Dont ask.
We dont have too many customers wanting to go the lock ups for the world of our craziest and most violent offenders. Yet there is something to be sad for the austere and frugal quality of life at St. Anthony Penitentiary for the Criminally Insane located deep within a huge abandoned coal mine in Plattsburgh, New York.
If the geography is dismal, the winters longer than long, we find a lot of pious religious people go to St. Anthonys for ideas on how to purge themselves of the emptiness of their all too affluent lives. If youre tired of comfort, pleasure, virtue and even life itself you might want to go on that tour too.
I dont think you want to know what we Americans do to the criminals we lock up there. Words can be flat sometimes. Patriotism never blinks at what others call excess. We can guarantee that life at St. Anthonys is worse than death. Since nobody among you is afraid of what might happen after death, that should be enough for you.
We have special prisons for sex offenders of all kinds, most of which you wouldnt want to miss, several enormous jails that look like immense office buildings weve set in the sea on large rafts for White Collar felons, mostly brokers of all kinds along with suave lying accountants. You can take pictures and come home with a trove of horrible and traumatic memories.
Most of you would prefer our loony bins to our slammers for crime; I can understand that. Most people are more at home with lunatics than crooks. So am I. Its when both theyre nuts and big into crime I get worried about my company. We have a very diverse range of Americans gone bonkers than will amuse you no matter what your taste is in being totally and utterly nuts.
You all know about the Marilyn Monroe Memorial Hospital for failed suicides and the Marilyn Monroe Memorial Hospital Two for the successful ones. They look identical; one has a different cellar.
Youve heard of course about the Michael Jackson Refuge for General Confusion. Youre all welcome in the catatonic wing of our guru meditation ward. Youll find a place for yourself there even if youre sane.
Yet I know most of you like to go to the Adolph Hitler Solarium where we keep our most colorful paranoid schizophrenics. They are indeed the most interesting crazies we have under lock and key. They will tel you stories of danger, stark hair raising episodes of panic and peril that will thrill you even if they arent true. Hey, its not too different in a way than watching the news on television, is it? Or is it?
When you leave each one of our many fascinating lock ups youll be glad youre home. Everybodys happy finally to get away even from King Farouk after a few days of pleasure fit only for felons. Thats one of the joys of a good vacation, folks; knowing that it isnt real. Youll enjoy the banality of your life as you never did.
As miserable, hopeless and enraged as you are, folks, its better than being locked up.

Subybus getting there
Posted 09 November 2004 - 09:32 PM
I saw a complete Legacy engine at the junkyard this weekend...Hmmm..
One project at a time I guess.
BTW if aanyone needs a complete 82 GL less engine in west Texas come and get it..

are you getting some serious grief from the hard core VW crowd for putting an
ea81 in a 60 Bus?

By the way
are you getting some serious grief from the hard core VW crowd for putting an
ea81 in a 60 Bus?
I'm getting 'HERESY' put on my license plates for this same reason. Both the subaru and VW people think it's heretic.
If HERESY is taken, then it's getting AXSPWRS (axis powers).

I just remembered I had a friend in Estes Park Colo. that had a 60-62 panel
with cargo doors on both sides of the bus, love those split window rides.
Please post some pics, I'm really wanting to see the end product!

A flat four with a HEATER!!!!

I seen that one!!! gorgeous.. i don't member the color,but my father pointed it out a few years ago- must have gotten parts from his shop or something.
Has anyone seen pictures of the chopped one in Loveland, CO that has the iron cross on the back windows- violent lime green and at one of the dealers on Lincoln? My buddy wound up, and he blew away my friends tacoma last night. HAHA, mike deserves that for running a 2.7L tacoma. He wrapped up and must have been running a straight pipe- it barked! plus the tires skid every time he shifted. I want to find out if that's a subie-powered.
Good luck with prject heresy, that sounds awesome!!

Ok, stupid question time...I take it your rad hinges on the bottom, and
closes flat against the back? I really hope you'll keep us updated on the
project, esp how the cooling works out? Thanks again for the pic, it's
giving me new hopes and ideas for a family hauler.
Posted 27 November 2004 - 06:46 PM
Hinges on bottom,and bolts with big washers thru the rad that pinch the bulkhead on top.Had to refab the lower VW crossmember to lower it for clearance,but plenty of room now.Two pix posted in the gallery.
Today I painted the cargo area and did some adj on the front doors.
Thanks for the interest
Posted 29 November 2004 - 09:39 AM
Can you send some pics my way particularly of the modified engine crossmember? Did you use the Kennedy kit?
Dis you get a rad made so that the hoses would be on the bottom so there would not be much flex needed? Plan on keeping the engine hatch on? I have seen one with the engine hatch replaced and it didn't look as good.
Posted 29 November 2004 - 04:33 PM
Posted 29 November 2004 - 08:11 PM
Wiring was pretty simple,but I had to run extra wires for the water temp and oil pressure guages which are electric units.
Posted 01 December 2004 - 06:29 PM
I like the color scheme so far. Neat bus!
Posted 04 December 2004 - 04:50 PM
The original engine cover will not be used,but I have some ideas about fabbing one with angle iron and some special expanded metal.Always open for ideas though.
Posted 04 December 2004 - 08:25 PM
What kind of fan are you using? Low profile or standard? Are you going to pull air through rad, or push air out through rad? I gather the fan is going to be on the inside facing the engine.
Did you custom make an engine support crossmember? Someone else told me that they were just going to hang the engine off of the tranny with no additional support. I feel that an engine cross member is likely needed like what it is in the stock application.
Did the kennedy kit come with good directions?
Thanks for answering these questions.
Posted 05 December 2004 - 09:42 AM
Tranny supports engine fine,but a xmember could be fabbed easily enough if needed.
Now if it would just warm up so I could finish painting my subybus!
Posted 31 December 2004 - 03:06 PM
The radiator is a stock 82 suby that cost $129/w a lifetime warranty.Top hose is extra long to facilitate opening.Fans are both stock 80's suby and have plenty of clearance.
Tranny supports engine fine,but a xmember could be fabbed easily enough if needed.
Now if it would just warm up so I could finish painting my subybus!
Could you clarify exactly how the engine is mounted?
Posted 01 January 2005 - 10:05 AM
BTW the subybus is now painted and going back together,and PIX will be posted soon.

^Definitely, Raku will probably use Chitoge's mom's word back at her. "You're the only one who can do it. You're needed by Chitoge, so you have the responsibility to be with her", or something like that
Mom will then convinced and talks with Chitoge, help her wearing the ribbon back, and 'punishing' Raku for stood up against her by giving him responsibility to be with Chitoge from now on

I do feel sorry for Chitoge, but I kind of hope her mom doesn't do a complete 180 in the next few chapters or I would be quite disappointed. Other then that, was still a funny chapter except for the ending pages.

The only that woman cares about is business, apparently. She can't even spare some time for her daughter on Christmas. She's a horrible mother.
It's obvious everything will end up well, and I hope this will be done in a believable manner. For starters, Raku needs to grow some balls and tell her what he's thinking.

I'm pretty they'll be able to make it seeing how cliche this series is. Maybe they will meet at the airport before she says goodbye.
She's weird. I mean, 10 years worth of gifts? I still don't get it why is it hard for her to give those gifts. It wouldn't even take a lot of time just by giving it.

So that's the path he chose... rather than a bad mother, Hana is just supposed to be unbelievably awkward. Not sure I buy that.

Tbh I was pleasantly surprised about how this strong (almost almighty) person was revealed to have this unexpected vulnerable side.
I knew she would have some sort of soft side for her daughter nevertheless but not to this extent even as far as being shy in front of her.
No matter how awkward that may be for an adult parent but to me that was very well written development.

I can believe that the mother, despite being very serious about her job, as an awkward side to her....
But being awkward with her relationship with her daughter to the point of barely speaking to her through 10 years, going to the trouble of buying gifts every year but always leaving without giving them to her......that's not awkward or anything, that's plain stupid.
So for the first years of Chitoge's life her mother was able to have a relationship and connection with her but then, suddenly, lost it all and immersed herself in her job to that point????
Sorry, that's just hard to believe for me that's all.......human psychology doesn't work that way.
If the author had shown an event that could have caused a breach in their relationship, that I could believe.....but out of nowhere she went from caring mother (whichever degree of that) to a mother that doesn't spend any time with her daughter at all?????
Nope, calling forced on this one.

So this is new original series that aired on ABC Family June 3rd.
Having no time prevented me from seeing it when it aired, thank the Maker for On Demand and the internet.
It's a show about a lesbian couple raising one biological child and 3 or 4 foster children.
When seeing the previews I had my doubts, it looked like a melodramatic, pretentious, cliche.
After watching the first couple episodes, am surprised, I actually like it.
Takes place in San Diego (awesome in itself)
But they have a really good cast, good acting, good writing and the cast has great chemistry.
Mentioned before a sign of a good, successful show is how well the chemistry is between the actors. If you get a chance, check it out, worth it.
Airs Mondays on ABC Family at 9pm central
You can watch the episodes directly from the network's website. (very cool)

Interest in the potential of lighter-than-air (LTA) systems to meet modern requirements continues to grow as fuel prices and the cost of conventional aircraft transportation infrastructures increase. An added incentive to airship and aerostat development comes from the worldwide concern over the negative environmental effects of jet aircraft on the global climate. LTA systems have become the subject of renewed interest due to their unique qualities of low energy (propulsion) needs and significant static lift which holds potential for commercial as well as ISR missions. New hybrid LTA systems which incorporate a substantial degree of dynamic lift also offer great promise for providing additional air transportation services, and access to remote regions. At the same time, major advances are being made in the development of key enabling technologies essential to the creation and operation of long endurance, unmanned LTA systems. These interests, advances, and more will be explored by industry experts at the 20th AIAA Lighter-Than-Air Systems Technology Conference. The conference is seeking papers that best reflect the latest advances in LTA designs, systems development, and operations.
Potential topic areas include, but are not limited to:

The Plasmadynamics and Lasers (PDL) conference has a "Best Student Paper Award" for papers whose principle author is a student. The participant must be a full-time student in good academic standing at his or her university/institution at the time of the abstract submission. Non-students, such as the student's advisor(s) etc., can be included as co-authors as long as the paper represents the work of the student and is presented by that student at the conference. The student should submit his or her paper normally to one of the 5 PDL sub-topic areas that best represents their work: Plasma and laser physics, Plasma actuation and lasers for control and processing, Reentry and space plasmas, Highly energetic plasma systems, Fluid-optics and laser diagnostics. To ensure full consideration, it is strongly recommended that an indication be made at the very beginning of the extended abstract to the effect that "this work is eligible for consideration in the PDL best student paper competition." Do not submit the abstract more than once. Please direct all inquiries to the PDL Student Paper Award chair, Prof. Mark Rennie. Back to Top >
Undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to submit papers in the technical topics listed in this call for papers. Co-authored papers are welcome. However, the first author must be a student, and the conference presentation should be made by a student author. The student must have played a key role in the research and writing of the paper, and must be a registered student at the time the final paper is submitted. When submitting an abstract for the Student Paper Competition, authors must choose a "Presentation Type" from the drop-down menu on the abstract submission website and click on "Student Paper Competition". The deadline for the student paper abstracts is the same as the conference abstract deadline and the student paper abstracts will be reviewed in the same way as the usual conference abstracts. The full papers of the Student Paper Competition are to be submitted by 25 Apr 2014. They will be judged by two expert reviewers and finalists will be selected. The judging criteria are: 1) the originality of work; 2) the paper's potential importance to the field; and 3) its clarity.

MIAMI, May 31, 2013--All is quiet on the Gulfstream-Calder front. But itâs one of those eerie news blackout quiets which frequently occur before something big is about to be announced. There was a meeting this week between high ranking executives of both sides and no one is talking publicly about what transpired, generally a sign progress is being made and a deal is imminent.
The expectation remains that before the head-to-head racing nightmare begins in July, Churchill Downs, Inc., will accept some kind of settlement, which will either turn Calder into a going-through-the-motions-to-keep-our-casino venue or end racing there entirely.
The imminent closure of Hollywood Park is an example why this belief is so prevalent. CDI sold Hollywood to its current owners without any regard for the future of racing. CDI knew and didnât care when it sold the track to a development company that it was dooming Hollywood as a racetrack. The only thing that kept it operating as a track as long as it has was the crippling recession, which dried up the money supply to finance the ambitious commercial/residential project Hollywoodâs new owners envisioned.
Churchill also negotiated a settlement a couple of years ago when it allowed Gulfstream to usurp December, one of the most profitable months of the year for Calder.
Faced with the reality that strong willed Frank Stronach is determined to run year-round, with or without competition, there is no reason to believe CDI will act differently this time.
The companyâs behavior in New Orleans is another example of the diminishing regard it has for racing.
A recent Ray Paulick column (http://www.paulickreport.com) decried the deterioration of the Fair Grounds turf course since CDI bought the facility.
Paulick quoted former Fair Grounds owner Louie Roussel, who said CDI has neglected the infield grass course since 2004.
The piece also quoted a letter sent by Stanley Seelig, president of the Louisiana HBPA, to the Louisiana Racing Commission. âThis is not a new problem, and one that the Fair Grounds has done a poor job of addressing the last few years.â
Weeks went by this past season without the turf course being usable, even when there was minimal or no rain. Under the circumstances, a responsible, dedicated-to-racing owner would have made repairing the turf course after the meet closed in March a priority.
CDI added insult to injury, allowing tens of thousands of fans to trample all over it at the annual New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in late April, early May. The trackâmore precisely, CDIâis contractually committed to the festival but more effort could have been made to protect the troubled turf.
The net result, Paulick wrote, is âCDI makes money, horsemen lose money (from simulcasting and slots being shut down at times during the festival) and the turf course is severely damaged.â Insiders are saying that the damage is so extensive that it might negatively impact the 2013-14 meeting. For CDI, regrettably this has become business as usual.
So whether itâs Florida, California or Louisiana, CDIâs attitude has been to take the money and not worry about running a race track. This does not bode well for the future of Calder.
Start Spreading the News
The Belmont Stakes has a self-styled status as âThe Test of Champions.â This might have been true in another time, back in the 20th century. It has not been the case during this millennium.
Only once since 2000 has the winner of the third jewel of the Triple Crown been voted the ultimate honor for a champion, the Eclipse Award as Horse of the Year. That was Point Given 12 years ago.
And only three times in the 21st century has the Belmont winner been named outstanding 3-year-old maleâPoint Given, Afleet Alex (2005) and Summer Bird (2009).
The filly Rags to Riches, who upset Curlin in 2007, was voted best 3-year-old female.
During this same period, the Belmont has been won by Ruler on Ice, with a only a maiden win in five starts going into the Belmont and one-for-12 since (an allowance win over Aqueductâs winter track); DaTara, who subsequently went zero-for-nine before being retired; Jazil, who went into the Belmont with only a maiden win in eight starts and didnât win in three post-Belmont starts, and Sarava, a 70-1 shot, who failed to hit the board in his two post-Belmont races.
The Belmont has become a victim of the mania to breed for win-early speed, stamina be damned. Modern thoroughbreds, who can handle the grueling mile and a half, donât often fit that paradigm. Union Rags last year was an exception.
We'll take a more detailed look at the Belmont field after it's set at Wednesday's post draw.
One other Belmont thought: a kneejerk over-reaction is inevitable whenever there is an act of terrorism. Racing is not immune. In the wake of the Boston Marathon tragedy, the expanded security precautions put in place by NYRA threaten to reduce New Yorkâs biggest day of racing downstate into as much fun as a trip through airport security.
Taking reasonable precautions is laudable but some measures are, pardon the expression, overkill.
I have no problem with prohibitions against laser pointers, mace, pepper spray and certainly weapons. Itâs dumbfounding that these havenât been on a forbidden list forever. But the reasoning behind no umbrellas, even in the backyard, where rain has been known to fall and there is no cover, will have to be explained to me.
Limiting the size of a woman's purse, which is going to be searched at the entrance gate anyway, also seems a bit much.
There has been a thwarted terrorist attempt at detonating an underwear bomb on a plane. I guess we should be grateful NYRA didnât decree everyone has to come to the Belmont commando style.
With a new regime in place, we can only hope more reasonable voices will prevail before Saratoga. If the same prohibitions, especially those banning coolers and alcoholic beverages, are put into place at the Spa, they might as well start saddling horses under the trees again. There will be nobody else there.

Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 92
DeviceGuru (1136715) writes "Intel and CircuitCo have revealed a smaller, faster, 2nd-gen MinnowBoard open SBC based on an Atom E3800 SoC and supported by both Android 4.4 and various standard Linux OSes. The MinnowBoard Max, which will ship in Q3 starting at $99, blows past the original MinnowBoard (Slashdot video) on price, performance, and energy consumption. The 3.9 x 2.9-inch Max's $99 starting price includes a 64-bit 1.46GHz Intel Atom E3815 (Bay Trail-T) CPU, 1GB RAM and 8GB SPI flash, and coastline ports for MicroSD, Micro-HDMI, GbE, dual USB, and SATA. Unlike the original MinnowBoard, the Max provides two expansion connectors: a low-speed header, with signals similar to the Arduino's Shield connector; and a high-speed connector, which can support mSATA and mini-PCIe sockets on expansion modules, among other interfaces. Although the Max's design supports CPUs up to Intel's quad-core 1.91GHz (10W TDP) E3845, only two choices shown initially at MinnowBoard.org, with the higher-end $129 model stepping up to a 1.33GHz dual-core E3825 plus 2GB RAM.."

That sounds poetic and I understand it is a general (likely warranted) shot at windows but it's not really applicable. Cleaning an infected machine results in one less infected machine. The act of cleaning does not generate 2 more infected machines and in fact shrinks the botnet by some, albeit small degree. There is never a situation where cleaning a Windows machine is a bad option - which keeps a significant number of us employed/harassed by friends/relatives.
If you can secure a machine (e.g. by be
Why would they target anybody else than Windows users? It accounts for 80% of the PC OS.
The last 20% is shared between Unix, Linux and Apple. Apple actually 11% of that last 20%.
Because, you know, the NSA et al are doing just as much hacking as the black hats are.
At which point, one must assume they'll continue to use this botnet for their own purposes, and not simply dismantle it.
Why give up an established spy network?
Since the government have control of all those computers now, would it be ethical for them to go in and actually install the patches to stop them being easily becoming victims next time around?
Pretty sure it is their duty to use these computers to gather information for national security.
Does the executable run by itself when a user clicks on the hyperlink from a phishing attempt in e-mail, or does it require the user to run it? If it's the later, you can't fix stupid.
Here's what I don't get about that. The way the article shows the structure of the Gameover botnet, it looks like the C&C servers are hard-coded in. The person who coded the botnet control program would have no reason to give away his source code. If they've already seized the C&C servers, and the only person who can change the code has been arrested, how could new C&C servers pop up so quickly, unless Gameover Zeus has already been forked?
Presumably there's some concept of a CA / revocation list where infected nodes can find messages in a public channel or forum of some kind that tell where to reach the new C&C servers. I'm struggling with this as well, but it seems reasonable to assume from the quoted text that those machines are checking in regularly with the C&C servers, which the authorities now control, and they are checking in less frequently (every 2 weeks) with some other channel that is not controlled by the authorities, wh
Maybe that's why I've had no more notices to appear in court the last couple of days.
The magistrate was getting pissed off telling me to go away!
Why aren't they going after terrorists? We all need to sacrifice to defeat terrorism, and if it means compromised systems and stripped bank accounts, well, that is the price we all have to pay.
Honestly, there are some counties in my state where I think we'd be better off with a few more muggers than a few more cops -- they certainly cost less than proving yourself innocent in a court.
