One more suggestion...
Get rid of the Idle Time Optimizer.
It's not security related and since there are several scan types built-in to the product, I would consider it to be overkill, IMHO. The Optimizer just calls the native Windows Defragmenter anyway and with SSD's and the like which should not be degfragmented, only adds to the confusion, I feel.
Atomic_Blast :)
Keep it as is, but add scripts for Google chrome, so the Norton toolbar works. Also I get my Norton downloads from Comcast. Can it be possible to make the Comcast Norton downloads easier to get and more up-to-date.
I'd like to see in Norton Internet Security 2013 an automatic Sandbox to run suspicious files.
It seems to me a Sandbox would improve Norton's security protection level.

1) It would be much better if SONAR will ask a user what it`s needed to do: allow or not allow... (when the potentially dangerous file is starting).
Sometimes when I run the installer of the programm which is not a virus SONAR blocks it. It makes me upset or even angry from time to time)))
2) Full 64-bit operating systems and browsers support. Separate x64 and x86 distribution of NIS \ NAV
3) Sandbox, of course
4) Improving bootkit fixing \ rootkit detection. A few monthes ago I faced with a problem. MBR was damaged and I had to format all my data (1.5 Tb). Only some time later I discovered that it was a bootkit)))
5) And damaged files recover (healing). In such a way KIS or BitDefender is much more preferable, but I like NIS very much mostly of its interface usability and SONAR power :)
"4) Improving bootkit fixing \ rootkit detection. A few monthes ago I faced with a problem. MBR was damaged and I had to format all my data (1.5 Tb). Only some time later I discovered that it was a bootkit)))"
For information purposes Reformatting or Wiping is not required to be able to fix the Boot Sector or remove a Bootkit.
Norton Toolbar Support
I would love to see Norton Toolbar support or functionality for Google's Chrome Browser and Apple Safari's browser. I'm sure it's been suggested before, but I feel it should be suggested again by others. Google Chrome and Apple Safari have been out for a number of years now.
Norton 360 (Stop disabling our CD/DVD drives!)
Would also like for Norton 360 to stop disabling/removing/hiding my CD/DVD drives every time it's installed. Becomes a pain when a user must get it working again, and I'm sure most average users out there don't like diving into the system registry to get it to work again.
vary good Suggestions all keep them comeing

Quads, I know it now, but at that moment I didn`t.
1 / an easier mechanism for sending samples for analysis of threats from within the application.
2 / more control over the firewall, imaging calls.
3 / greater integration with additional applications to protect the (possibility of "total" exclusion) - without alertingthe accessible file ccsvchst (spam)
4 / the ability to disable scanning during idle or reduce it to 3x-5x for the day.
5 / plugin / addon większościom compatible browser. This works even with BullGuard opera and many others, Symantec also become such an improvement. Why every update firefox bother with the addons?
6 / http scan would be nice
7 / greater ability to set the size of each window (main menu)

Constraints and facilitators to participation in physical activity in teenagers with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder: an exploratory interview study
Child: Care, Health, and Development, 05/04/2012
Barnett AL et al. – Reports of low levels of physical activity support previous literature and are a cause for concern for this group. The teenagers expressed the desire to be more active, yet the interviews revealed both personal and environmental constraints to engagement in physical activity. It is clear that these factors interact in a dynamic way and that teachers, schools and communities play an important role in creating a motivational environment for youngsters with DCD to engage in physical activity and learn to maintain an active lifestyle as they move into adulthood.

AaB came from behind to beat Brondby 2-1 in the second round of matches in the Danish Superligaen.
Half-time substitute Mathias Gehrt needed only three minutes to make an impact as he put Brondby ahead early in the second half, but Lucas Andersen levelled in the 56th minute and the hosts won it through Nicklas Helenius' 67th-minute strike.
The result left AaB in third place in the early standings, level with leading pair Sonderjyske and FC Copenhagen, who played out a 1-1 draw today. Eyjolfur Hedinsson had the hosts in front after 25 minutes, but Mostafa Abdellaoue levelled for Copenhagen six minutes later.
Meanwhile, Randers picked up a 1-0 win away to Odense thanks to Lasse Rise's goal on the hour mark.

Hi all
I recently got a 10k Naniwa hone to touch up my slightly dull (but still useable) razor. I've been using the hone for over half an hour with no discernable difference.
I keep the stone wet whilst using (ensuring when it starts to look / feel dry, I apply some water) and am pushing using the spine from behind, rather than putting pressure from above if that makes sense. I know it must be my technique & not the stone, what am I doing wrong?

Chris Turner has been investing in real estate since 1993. He began buying and renting homes while stationed in Alaska with the US Air Force. Originally from Greenville, SC he decided to move back to South Carolina and settled in the Columbia area. He began purchasing rental properties and handled the management, maintenance and screening of tenants. Over the years he's learned many lessons about his own real estate investments. Chris applies the lessons he's learned to keep his clients from making those same mistakes.
While he was with Century 21 Bob Capes realtors he worked with homebuyers and sellers helping them navigate the sometimes complicated world of real estate. He also headed up a new commercial office development in Northeast Columbia.
Chris decided to start his own real estate company in the hopes of being better positioned to serve his clients. Since inception Turner Properties client base has increased over 75%. We believe this is due to our personal service and attention to detail. Chris handles all transactions personally. He is a firm believer that when dealing directly with the owner of a company a customer will get fast and knowledgeable help. That is exactly what you will get at Turner Properties.

Doro 334gsm HandlePlus IUP
Review Without doubt, this is the easiest phone to use among those grouped here. The Doro 334 dispenses with a keypad altogether in favour of four pre-assigned dialer shortcuts. Who you have assigned each button to can then be written on a small notepad that attaches to the face of the phone. Five notepad pages are included along with a plastic cover to keep them in place.
The slightly rubberised and robust 334 sports four other large, easy-to-press buttons which take care of answering and ending calls, locking the keyboard, and dialling a single emergency number, preset to 112.
Of course, the design does have drawbacks: an inability to compose SMS messages or dial numbers that have not been pre-programmed into it.
Around the rear of the phone you'll find a second emergency button which does a number of things simultaneously. When held down, it triggers a very loud alarm, sends an emergency SMS message to a pre-programmed number and dials up to five pre-determined numbers in order of priority. If a number rings for more than 30 seconds or goes to any sort of answerphone, the system ends the call and moves on to the next number and so on until one of the numbers is answered by a human being.
The IUP in the title stands for Isolated User Protection. This is a system that uses an accelerometer to detect if the phone - and thus the user - has fallen or become inactive for a pre-defined period of time. If no further movement is detected the phone initiates the emergency dial protocol and triggers the alarm.
The perfect handset for the vulnerable - or simply the technically phobic. ®
I don't know
You see so many kids with mobile phones these days, I'd be tempted to give them something like that as then you know who they're calling... But maybe that's just me because I don't trust kids, little shits.
It's not a generic granny phone
some grannies can manage much more complex devices. For some its not just the technology but simply remembering who you want to call or actually using all those tiny buttons. Having a nice simple device with your 4 most used numbers would be ideal. You may have more numbers you want to call but you can do that from a fixed line with you trusty address book.
This could allow some people to have a little more freedom. They can go out with some degree of monitoring, a nice panic button and an easy way to call for assistance.
No Keypad - Great Idea
My grandfather would find this idea for an emergency beside the bed phone.
When his old BT one died we really struggled to find one that was a) cordless b) large buttons and c) had multiple memory buttons (rather than a combination memory and address book lookup)
No keypad?
Plenty of people can be technophobic but this has no keypad? Telephony has been so commonplace for so long that even the elderly knows what it does and how useful it is. The other features are good but the lack of a keypad would insult an elderly person. It would also restrict them to calling four people, suggesting that's all the people they know.
You could give someone a regular handset then give them this as a managed, emergency device using a backup service provider. It is not a primary communication device.
"inactive for a pre-defined period of time"
So if the Doro is put on the side table while sleeping, an alarm goes off because the user has been "inactive for a pre-defined period of time"?

Only 40% of Miss. GOPers think interracial marriage should be legal, underscoring folly of subjecting rights to a vote
A recent survey of Mississippi Republicans conducted by Public Policy Polling (pdf) found that a majority of them believe inter-racial marriage should be illegal. According to the poll, 46 percent of the Republicans told PPP staffers that interracial marriage should be illegal and 14 percent of them said they weren't sure. Only 40 percent of Mississippi Republicans believe interracial couples should be allowed to legally marry. The poll comes a week after Colorado Republicans voted down a bill that would have granted Colorado gay couples domestic partnership rights already granted automatically with marriage to straight people. The Republican lawmakers said the issue should be left to voters to decide.
The question on interracial couples came in a poll intended to measure support for likely GOP presidential candidates. PPP called 400 usual Mississippi Republican primary voters between March 24 and March 27. The firm reported a margin of error at +/-4.9 percent.
The Colorado civil unions bill passed easily and with bipartisan support in the state's Democratic-controlled Senate before dying in the House Judiciary Committee. Senator Kevin Lundberg, R-Berthoud, led the opposition early, mostly citing the need to protect traditional marriage but also pointing to votes of the people cast in 2006. That year Coloradans passed Amendment 43, which defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman, and they voted down Referendum I, which would have established civil unions for gay people. "We have to respect the will of the people," Lundberg said.
House Judicary Committee Chairman Bob Gardner, R-Colorado Springs, took up that argument, as did all of the other Republican Committee members after they voted no to kill the bill.
"I think [civil unions] is a major public policy decision," said Gardner, "and because it was subjected to a vote of the people, both in Referendum I and Amendment 43 in different ways, to do it differently now, [to pass it] legislatively, that strikes me as aggregating to ourselves something that the people have spoken on."
The House sponsor of the bill, Denver Democrat Mark Ferrandino, said he thought the talk from Republicans about the "will of the people" was just a cover.
"This was pressure by leadership to not let [the bill] out of committee," he said. "That's what you saw. They were scared… They were too concerned with what the far right wanted and not too concerned with what the people of Colorado wanted."
Democratic Judiciary Committee member Claire Levy said at the hearing that asking voters to weigh whether or not to grant citizens rights was not appropriate. We don't submit to a vote of the people Constitutional rights guaranteed to all Americans, including minority Americans. That's not the way the United States is governed, she said.
The progressive politics America Blog, writing on the PPP poll, said the reported numbers were only a sort of tip of the iceberg.
"What's really sick is that 46 percent of Republicans were willing to admit to a stranger (pollster) that they don't approve of the mingling of the races. Imagine how high the REAL number is."

Anyone believing they have the right to pass judgement on a person do there mariage preference shouldn't be allowed to hold political office. We are the melting pot of the world, which means all races not just the ones the republicans like

I'd be interested in the results from Mississippi Democrats and Libertarians, if there were any percentages in the illegal response then I'd have more to say about the state than the parties in question.

Crispy Adventurers Club: Marshal Your Forces! Stiff Upper Lip!
Fellow adventurers, it has been a long, hot slog through the StarTropics. Let's not mince words; it was more difficult than we thought. The mosquitos, the ghosts, the traps, the belligerent women on the lighthouse islands. But the month is almost out. Let's make one last push this week to make it as far as you can.
Then share your experiences in the forum, whether you made it to the end or not. I, for one, am committed to finishing this game come hell or highwater. You may not be there by my side at the end, that's fine. We can all share a drink at the tavern when it's over.
And then we will move on. Perhaps to a less daunting challenge. If you have a suggestion for the next Adventurers Club destination, please share it in the comments.

Glassdoor is your free inside look at Bank of the West reviews and ratings — including employee satisfaction and approval rating for Bank of the West CEO J. Michael Shepherd. All reviews posted anonymously by Bank of the West employees.
I have been working at Bank of the West
Pros – Bank of the West offers great benefits and incentives to their employees. Plus you get to interact with new and returning clients every day.
Cons – Sometimes it seems more of a sales job than working towards a career as a CSR. Also, you can encounter days when you have hard to deal with clients.
Advice to Senior Management – Teach the CSR's more tools needed in order to grow within the company (on the corporate end) rather than just within the branch.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Perhaps the most-anticipated comeback in television history, former TWO AND A HALF MEN star Charlie Sheen makes his much-buzzed about return to network primetime in ANGER MANAGEMENT, a new sitcom loosely based on the hit 2003 feature film of the same name. Sheen stars as "Charlie" a successful yet non-traditional therapist specializing in anger management. He has a successful private practice, holding sessions with his group of primary patients each week, as well as performing pro-bono counselling for an inmate group at a state prison. Prior to his career as a therapist, Charlie was a stalled minor league baseball prospect whose road to the majors was sidetracked by his own struggle with anger issues. After a stint in anger management therapy, he made it to the majors and had one terrific season before his anger issues put him on the shelf for good. In the final game of his career, he tried to snap a bat over his leg, which resulted in a career-ending injury. That injury led him back to school and to his current profession. Charlie thrives on the chaos in his life while still battling his own anger issues. His life is complicated by his relationships with his own therapist/best friend (Selma Blair), an ex-wife (Shawnee Smith) whose positive outlook but poor choice in men frustrates Charlie, and their 13-year-old daughter (Daniela Bobadilla) who has obsessive-compulsive disorder. Cast: Charlie Sheen (TWO AND A HALF MEN) as Charlie, Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions), Daniela Bobadilla (AWAKE), Michael Arden (NURSE JACKIE), Noureen DeWulf (The Back-up Plan), Shawnee Smith (Saw VI) Credits: EP: Bruce Helford (George Lopez), EP: Dave Caplan (George Lopez), EP: Joe Roth (ALICE IN WONDERLAND), EP: Mark Burg (TWO AND A HALF MEN), EP: Charlie Sheen (TWO AND A HALF MEN), EP: Kevin Beggs (Grizzly Man) EP: Ramon Estevez (THE WEST WING), EP: Sandra Stern (The U.S. vs. John Lennon), EP: Vince Totino (Are We Done Yet?) Production Company: Lionsgate Television, Debmar-Mercury, Revolution Studios, Evolution Management and Estevez Sheen Productions
ARROW (CTV Two)
One of the most sought-after new faces in Hollywood, Gemini Award-winning Canadian actor Stephen Amell stars in the new action-adventure drama ARROW. A modern retelling of the legendary DC Comics character Green Arrow, the series embraces a dark, cinematic take on the story of billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who after a violent shipwreck was presumed dead but fought for his survival for five years on a remote island in the Pacific. Once rescued, Oliver returns home to Starling City, where his devoted mother Moira (Susanna Thompson), much-beloved sister Thea (Willa Holland) and best friend Tommy (Colin Donnell) welcome him home, but they soon realize that the Oliver they said goodbye to is very different from the one who returned. As Oliver tries to reconnect with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow - a ruthless vigilante determined to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. First on his list of targets is the villainous and corrupt businessman, Adam Hunt (Canadian Brian Markinson). By day, Oliver plays the role of the wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be - watched closely by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle (David Ramsey) - while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to in the darkness. Cast: Stephen Amell (HUNG, HEARTLAND) as Oliver Queen, Susanna Thompson (COLD CASE) as Moira Queen, Willa Holland (GOSSIP GIRL) as Thea Queen, Colin Donnell (PAN AM) as Tommy, Katie Cassidy (GOSSIP GIRL) as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey (BLUE BLOODS) as John Diggle Credits: EP: Greg Berlanti (BROTHERS & SISTERS), EP: Marc Guggenheim (FLASHFORWARD), EP: Andrew Kreisberg (THE VAMPIRE DIARIES), EP: David Nutter (SMALLVILLE) Production Company: Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television
EMILY OWENS, M.D. (CTV Two)
Set to become this season's primetime darling, Mamie Gummer stars as a sweet medical school graduate who can't escape her high school woes in EMILY OWENS, M.D. With natural talent and breakout roles on THE GOOD WIFE and OFF THE MAP, Gummer has skillfully stepped above being known simply as the daughter of Academy Award(R)-winning actor Meryl Streep. As Emily Owens, Gummer brings effortless charm to her role as a first-year intern at Denver Memorial Hospital. There, Emily has the chance to work with world-famous cardiologist Dr. Gina Beckett (Necar Zadegan) and not-so-coincidentally alongside her med school crush and fellow intern Will Rider (Justin Hartley). So why does everyone keep warning her that the hospital is just like high school? Emily soon finds out the hard way - her high school nemesis, the gorgeous, popular Cassandra Kopelson (Aja Naomi King), is also just starting out at Denver Memorial, and it seems like they're rivals all over again - not only as surgical interns, but for Will's attention. Emily's the new kid again, and it's just as awkward as high school. Only this time around, Emily has to balance the personal and emotional turmoil of social politics with the high-stakes world of life-and-death medical decisions. At least she has fellow intern Tyra (Kelly McCreary), and nerdy-but-cute resident Micah (Michael Rady), to count on as friends. Emily is going to realize that although she may be a geek, she may also grow to be a great doctor. Cast: Mamie Gummer (THE GOOD WIFE) as Emily, Justin Hartley (SMALLVILLE, PASSIONS) as Will, Michael Rady (THE MENTALIST) as Micah, Aja Naomi King (PERSON OF INTEREST) as Cassandra, Kelly McCreary (WHITE COLLAR) as Tyra, Necar Zadegan (A GIFTED MAN) as Gina Credits: EP: Jennie Snyder Urman (90210), EP: Dan Jinks (PUSHING DAISIES), EP: Bharat Nalluri (TSUNAMI) Production Company: CBS Television Studios and Warner Bros. Television
NASHVILLE (CTV Two)
From Academy Award(R)-winning screenwriter CALLIE KHOURI (Thelma and Louise), comes the powerful new big-budget drama NASHVILLE, a story of love, sex, power, money, music and family. At the centre of it all, critically-acclaimed actress and fan-favourite Connie Britton brings her Emmy(R)-nominated talents to the role of Rayna James, a country legend who's had a career any singer would envy. Lately her popularity is starting to wane and her record label thinks a concert tour, opening for aggressive up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), is just what Rayna needs. Singing for her role, Panettiere sinks her teeth into the character of scheming Juliette who can't wait to steal Rayna's spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Complicating matters is Rayna's wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna's handsome husband, Teddy (ERIC CLOSE), in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna's wishes. Cast: Connie Britton (AMERICAN HORROR STORY, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) as Rayna James, Hayden Panettiere (HEROES) as Juliette Barnes, Powers Boothe (24) as Lamar, Charles Esten (BIG LOVE) as Deacon, ERIC CLOSE (WITHOUT A TRACE) as Teddy, CLARE BOWEN (HOME AND AWAY) as Scarlett, Jonathan Jackson (GENERAL HOSPITAL) as Avery, Sam Palladio (EPISODES) as Gunnar and Robert Wisdom (BURN NOTICE) as Coleman Credits: EP: Jim Parriott, EP: CALLIE KHOURI (Thelma & Louise), EP: R.J. Cutler (The September Issue), EP: Steve Buchanan (See What I Hear) Production Company: Lionsgate, ABC Studios and Gaylord Entertainment
Offering a dramatic twist on the medical and crime procedural is THE MOB DOCTOR, a fast-paced new drama starring Jordana Spiro as Dr. Grace Devlin, a brilliant young surgeon split between her promising medical career and her lifelong debt to Chicago's Southside mob. By day, Grace deals with the emotionally compelling cases at the hospital, but she must also juggle an onslaught of mob-related medical demands, all the while keeping her dual life a secret from everyone including her handsome, blue-blooded boyfriend Dr. Brett Robinson. The only people who know the true scope of Grace's activities is her ex-boyfriend Franco, and the charming and diabolical Southside mob boss Constantine, an oddly compassionate killer whose relationship with Grace is more than it seems. As Grace tries to heed the demands of these two conflicting worlds, it's her nerves of steel and a tough-as-nails exterior that somehow has her managing to make it all work - at least for now. Cast: Jordana Spiro (MY BOYS) as Dr. Grace Devlin, William Forsythe (BOARDWALK EMPIRE) as Constantine Alexander, Floriana Lima (GLORY DAYS) as Nurse "Ro" Angeli, Zach Gilford (OFF THE MAP) as Dr. Brett Robinson, Jaime Lee Kirchner (NECESSARY ROUGHNESS) as Dr. Olivia Watson, Zeljko Ivanek (DAMAGES) as Dr. Stafford White, James Carpinello (THE GOOD WIFE) as Franco, Jesse Lee Soffer (AS THE WORLD TURNS) as Nate Devlin, Wendy Makkena (NCIS) as Daniella Devlin Credits: EP: Josh Berman (CSI), EP: Rob Wright (DROP DEAD DIVA), EP/Director: Michael Dinner (THE WONDER YEARS) Production Company: Sony Pictures Television
Sci-fi family comedy THE NEIGHBORS follows one family's attempt at a normal life in the suburbs, only to discover that the neighbours are aliens masquerading as suburbanites. Debbie (Jami Gertz) and Marty Weaver (Lenny Venito) recently bought a home in Hidden Hills, a coveted gated community in New Jersey, to provide a better life for their three kids. It's clear from day one that the residents of Hidden Hills are a little different. For starters, their new neighbors all have pro-athlete names like Reggie Jackson (TIM JO), Jackie Joyner-Kersee (Toks Olagundoye), Dick Butkis (IAN PATRICK) and Larry Bird (Simon Templeman). To their horror, the Weavers soon learn that the entire community is comprised of aliens from Zabvron masquerading as suburbanites where the men bear children and everyone cries green goo from their ears. Two worlds collide with hilarious consequences as everyone discovers they can "totally relate" and learn a lot from each other. Cast: Jami Gertz (ENTOURAGE) as Debbie Weaver, Lenny Venito (BORED TO DEATH) as Marty Weaver, Simon Templeman (THE EVENT) as Larry Bird, Toks Olagundoye (PRIME SUSPECT) as Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Clara Mamet (THE UNIT) as Amber Weaver, TIM JO (GLORY DAZE) as Reggie Jackson, IAN PATRICK (WANDERLUST) as Dick Butkis, MAX CHARLES (The Three Stooges) as Max Weaver, ISABELLA CRAMP (HAPPY ENDINGS) as Abby Weaver Credits: EP: DAN FOGELMAN (Crazy, Stupid, Love), EP: Aaron Kaplan (Made of Honor), EP: Jeff Morton (MODERN FAMILY), EP: CHRIS KOCH (MODERN FAMILY) Production Company: ABC Studios

After taking the winter off, photography hobbyist and Lake Almanor Basin resident Jan Davies has again hit her stride in capturing incredible wildlife scenes.
Catching sight of an osprey that had just made his selection from the interactive lunch menu featured by the North Fork Feather River, she trailed him as he flew down Main Street in Chester.
After the osprey came to a rest near the Collins Pine lawn, Davies was able to snap this incredible photo from the nearby parking lot of the old Timberhouse Restaurant.
Davies often posts her photos online and this bold hunter was selected as a Fox 40 News "Weather Pic of the Day" after being chosen via popular vote by Facebook fans.

Marilyn Manson - Eat Me Drink Me: Parental Advisory (2007) Retail CD
This album is more pop than rock and more sad than angry (indeed, Manson himself has said this is a personal album about himself, not intended to criticise, like some of his other work). Tim Skold's guitar solos really stand out on all the tracks he plays on and overall I think that even though this album has been dividing Manson fans right down the middle, I like that it's doing something slightly different.
Admittedly, in places the consistency of a song becomes a drone, but there is enough variety that fans will have a hard time not finding at least a few songs they like on this. If you'remore…

Crowdsourcing bailout/crisis avoidance
September 28, 2008 in 2008 oil crisis, Crowd-sourced, economy, Historical event, historical pre-enactment, world without oil | Tags: barings, barings bank, frank corder, glass-steagall, gramm-leach-bliley, institutional myopia, nicholas leeson, phil gramm, wisdom of crowds | Leave a comment
As the bailout crisis talks continue, and the common people wait to find out what particular flavor of long hard road awaits them, one might wonder if there's any way that we the people could have foreseen this coming. The answer is yes, and the key incident to remember is: Nicholas Leeson and Barings Bank.
You may remember Mr. Leeson: he was the young trader who undertook risky deals that went bad and the resulting losses destroyed Barings, an investment bank that was over two centuries old. The incident shook the markets, but the focus at the time quickly shifted to controlling individual traders, away from the obvious lesson about the shaky fundamentals of investment banking itself, and the incident seems to have been forgotten entirely when Republicans Phil Gramm and James Leach championed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which undid the Glass-Steagall Act's protections that had been in place since the Depression.
Thinking about Leeson reminds me in turn of Frank Corder, the man who stole a light plane on September 11, 1994, and crashed it into the White House. It does not take an expert to extrapolate from this event the events on the same day seven years later. But as we all now know any such lesson was not learned – not by U.S. security experts, anyway.
Once you begin to see the kind of myopia that afflicts experts, you can start to see it in all sorts of places. And it validates two idea behind the World Without Oil game: one, that a common citizen can see some approaching futures more plainly than experts can; and two, that a sufficiently large group of everyday citizens can outperform experts in certain challenges, especially those of imagination. The key is creating a seriously playful motivation to bring the citizens together, and a seriously playful space where they can collaborate. Should some tiny fraction of the money looming to be spent on the credit crisis go toward crowdsourcing views about what the next crisis will be? I think we should get that game started right away.

It feels like every time we get a win in the Prop 8 case, we get a new delay that sets things back another few months. But now we're finally nearing the end: In just two weeks, the Supreme Court will decide whether or not they'll take the case.
In other words, it could all be over by early October. Tune in to this special edition of Marriage News Watch with Matt Baume to get a rundown on exactly how we got here, and what to expect when the Supremes convene.

A southern Indiana contractor is a wanted man after being accused of defrauding a victim of the deadly March 2 tornado outbreak in Henryville.
Prosecutors said there could be more victims.
The suspect said he had no idea he had been charged.
For most people, images of the Henryville tornadoes depicted a tragedy, but a few saw an opportunity.
"These people who lost homes and possessions in the tornado have been through so much, and the very last thing that they need to deal with is having someone come in and take advantage of them in a criminal way in the aftermath," said Clark County prosecutor Jeremy Mull.
Prosecutors said 49-year-old Karl Wray is one of those criminals.
They said the contractor, based in Sellersburg, arrived in the wreckage days after the destruction.
Court documents stated he repaired the roof of a home on Francke Road for a 70-year-old tornado victim and former state trooper.
But prosecutors said Wray overbilled for the work by about $2,600, charging the victim for far more shingles than were needed.
The victim filed a complaint and an investigator gave Wray a month to either refund the money or explain what happened, but prosecutors said they never got a response.

Although Salt Lake City [1] is well connected with the rest of the world and has a good public transportation system, to really explore the state, a car is the most realistic choice (though a case can be made for a bike and strong legs). However, if you're planning a winter trip with a focus on skiing the Wasatch ski areas, consider skipping the car rental and relying on shuttles or city buses.
Salt Lake City is a hub for Delta Airlines, and all other major airlines have regular flights into Salt Lake City International Airport (776 N. Terminal Dr., 801/575-2400, www.slcairport.com [2]). The airport is an easy seven miles west of downtown, reached via I-80 or North Temple Street.
Amtrak (800/872-7245, www.amtrak.com [3]) runs one passenger train across Utah. The California Zephyr runs between Oakland and Chicago via Salt Lake City.
Greyhound (800/231-2222, www.greyhound.com [4]) offers interstate service to Utah on its routes along I-15, I-70, and I-80.
Many foreign travelers enter Utah in RVs, which they rent to drive on a tour of the western national parks. It takes more planning to line up a rental RV than a car, but there are plenty of agencies in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Salt Lake City able to do the job. Most travel agents can help, or you can contact the local travel office in the city of your departure.
Regional airlines connect Salt Lake City [1] with other communities in the state. Regular scheduled flights link to St. George [5] and Cedar City [6]. Great Lakes Airlines (800/554-5111) provides daily scheduled air service between Canyonlands Field just north of Moab [7] and Denver and between Vernal and Denver.
Amtrak (800/872-7245, www.amtrak.com [3]) can get you to Green River, Helper, Provo, and Salt Lake City, but that's about all. Public transportation to other points of interest, such as the national parks, is notably absent.
Greyhound (800/231-2222, www.greyhound.com [4]) provides bus service along Utah's interstate highways and U.S. 6 (between Green River and Provo), but these routes really don't get you close to the sorts of sights that most people come to Utah to see. The Wasatch Front area (from Provo to Ogden and from Salt Lake City out to Tooele) is served by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA, 801/287-4636, www.rideuta.com [8]), a regional bus company with excellent service. Park City [9] and other Salt Lake City ski areas are accessible via a number of ski-bus operations, some of which pick up at the airport.
Public transportation serves cities and some towns but very few of the scenic, historic, and recreational areas. Unless you're on a tour, you really need your own transportation. Cars are easily rented in any large town, though the Salt Lake City Airport offers by far the greatest selection: Avis Rent A Car (801/575-2847 or 800/331-1212, www.avis.com [10]), Dollar Rent-A-Car (800/421-9849, www.dollar.com [11]), Hertz (801/575-2683 or 800/654-3131, www.hertz.com [12]), and National Car Rental (801/575-2277 or 800/227-7368, www.nationalcar.com [13]). Four-wheel-drive vehicles can be rented, too, and will be very handy if you plan extensive travel on back roads.
Most tourist offices carry the Utah road map published by the Utah Department of Transportation (801/965-4000, www.udot.utah.gov [14]); it's one of the best available and is free.
Touring on a bicycle is to be fully alive to the land, skies, sounds, plants, and birds of Utah. The experience of gliding across the desert or topping out on a mountain pass goes beyond words. Some effort, a lightweight touring or mountain bike, touring gear, and awareness of what's going on around you are all that's needed. Start with short rides if you're new to bicycle touring, then work up to longer cross-country trips. If you learn to maintain and repair your steed, you'll seldom have trouble on the road. An extra-low gear (30 inches or less) takes the strain out of long mountain grades.
Utah has almost every kind of terrain and road condition imaginable; mountain bicyclists find the Moab area [15] in the southeast especially challenging and scenic. Note that designated wilderness areas are closed to cycling.

It's been three, no four years since we had this conversation, but I can still see him sitting in the office and hear his little voice in my head:
Me: And are you being a flower or a weed today?
Student: A weed.
Me: And what do weeds do?
Student: They choke out the flowers.
Me: And what happens to weeds?
Student: They get sent to the Principal's office.
And so it went with my sweet student as the Assistant Principal and I tried to teach him how best to bloom and grow in his first-grade classroom. Now imagine another conversation, this time with a much different specimen:
Me: Are you being a flower or a weed today?
Broadleaf: Both, actually.
Me: What do you mean by that?
Broadleaf: It's complicated.
Me: Try me.
Broadleaf: I'm actually a weed disguised as a flower.
Me: So, which are you, a flower or a weed?
Broadleaf: Just think of me as a flowering weed.
I'd rather have a conversation with students like the former than the latter, because the latter confuse me. The broadleaf weed that hurricane Ike blew in two years ago blends in to the grass that you hardly even notice it, until it makes these pretty little white flowers, at which point it has spread like wildfire through the grass.
And so it is with students who bully. Their bullying behaviors spread like weeds. But it's tricky, because sometimes the students who bully often present as pretty good kids or flowers to adults. It's behind the scenes, covertly, that they're causing so much damage.
So how do we combat broadleaf, I mean bullying? First, we have to identify it. Because of the gravity of the issue, we use R-I-P to define it. Aggressive, mean acts are called bullying behaviors when they're:
R Repeated over time
I Intentional, on purpose
P Power imbalance created
Once bullying has been identified, we work with the bully to help shape and change the behavior. We also work with the victim to undo any damage that the aggressive behavior has caused and help him or her feel safe. We have to pull the broadleaf so the grass can be healthy and grow!
But there's another group that we've been working with, just as diligently, and that's the bystander. Data suggests that kids know that they should do something about bullying, they just aren't sure what. So in our K-3 classes, we're teaching our kids to be upstanders instead of bystanders. The powerful new book by Debbie Fox and Allan L. Beane, "Good Bye Bully Machine" calls them "allies." If students see or hear bullying behaviors, allies go over in a group of three or four and scoop the victim out of the situation to a safer place. If the aggressor follows them, they head toward an adult for some assistance. We've been practicing this in guidance this week to equip and empower our littlest leaders to help combat bullying in our school.
And the broadleaf? Well, we're scooping that out of our yard, too, one flower at a time.

I'm looking for a script for my consumer tech review site that would allow users to write their own reviews for each product. As an example (http://www.techreviewsource.com/Note...lion-g6-1c77nr), I'd like to get rid of the "twitter" tab for each review and replace it with a "User Reviews" tab. Users could then write a review of their own and list pros, cons and a final rating. Is something like this already made out there or is it something I'm going to have to code myself?
My site's CMS is Joomla and I've already checked out jReviews, but I cannot seem to only use the user reviews portion as a standalone product. Instead, I'd have to change the way I write reviews completely because jReviews would handle that and I don't really want to have to change everything.
