NORTH DARTMOUTH, MA – Sophomore guard Vinny DeLucia (Miami, FL/Sagemont Upper Valley School) hit the second of back-to-back three-pointers with 2:20 remaining in the second half to knot the game at 71-71 and help the UMass Boston men's basketball team rally from an 18-point halftime deficit and defeat host UMass Dartmouth, 76-74, in the second game of a Little East Conference doubleheader at the Tripp Athletic Center Wednesday evening.
Rahshjeem Benson (Boston, MA/Dorchester) scored a team-high 21 points for the Beacons, 15 of which came in the second half. DeLucia went 4-of-6 from behind the arc as he totaled 14 points.
The Beacons, who trailed at halftime, 43-25, outscored the Corsairs 51-31 in the second frame.
The Corsairs were led by sophomore guard Mike Rotando (Point Pleasant Beach, NJ/Point Pleasant Beach HS/Bloomfield), who scored a game-high 27 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the floor. Junior guard John Genkos (Northampton, MA/Northampton HS) hit a game-high six three-pointers in totaling 24 points.
UMD held a slight edge in rebounds, 43-37, but were outshot 50 percent to 36.2 percent. Freshman forward Abi Akanni (Fitchburg, MA/Fitchburg) pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds for the Corsairs.
"This was tough game for us to lose," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Brian Baptiste. "We've got to get back to practice to get ready for our game on Saturday against Southern Maine and the upcoming Little East Tournament."
The Corsairs fell to 4-10 and 1-12 in the Little East Conference with the loss, while the Beacons improved to 12-11 and 6-7 in LEC play with the victory. UMass Dartmouth will return to action when they visit Southern Maine Saturday in the second game of a Little East Conference doubleheader. UMass Boston will visit Eastern Connecticut Saturday.

I ask people at chick fil a some simple questions. At least... I thought they were simple enough, until they tried to answer. I apologize for the background ...
Views: 400
Christian idiots at Chick-fil-A "appreciation" day show their bigot values.
Does make me wonder if any of them have read the bible or only just sat in on pastor lectures? Oh well, most of my family has no more understanding than these people, but most likely not cross a 'line' such as this, when there are so many other places to eat.
I could not watch the whole video. It kept locking up. I'll try again tomorrow. I look forward to getting highly annoyed by the things people say in this video.
Truly depressing.
I think values are taught at the parents' knee, not in church. My family is mostly Christian but they are of the open-minded non-hating kind. The don't shun me and would never think of shunning a family member short of them being a child molester wife-beater or something equally distasteful.
What a great advertisement for what is wrong with religion: hatred. It is also a perfect example of the correlation between religion and ignorance: The Constitution and our forefathers said marriage is between a man and a woman???
Although I oppose the idea of government denying anyone's right to do business based upon their religious beliefs, I personally would never set foot in a Chick-fil-A.
I do know some gays who are very "stoned" while they "lay" together.
All jokes aside, I just don't understand why this has become such a huge deal. Chick-fil-A cannot legally deny a gay or lesbian work or food. They just stated they didn't stand with it. And like many (not all) big CEO's they give money to huge right-winged organizations that actively oppose gay marriage. I support the LBGT and their right to marry, but I just don't get why this has blown up like it has. It's free publicity for Chick-fil-A. I bet you their business is booming now because of this.
I won't patronize them, either. And you're right that they are an anti-advt for Christianity. I think a good-hearted person hears what they are doing and goes "Huh? WTF!"
I love how the fat faced lady in the pink shirt said Jesus said homosexuality is an "abomination" to god and that she feels gay people want to be allowed to marry because they want to "undermine" god's law. There is no scripture of Jesus saying that. Gays want to be allowed to marry so they can have the same rights is my take on it, and not because of any kind of conspiracy to "undermine" god's law. Anyway, if it does end up undermining "god's law" in some peoples' eyes, it needs to be undermined if it is a bigoted law.
Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuals being abominations or deserving to be stoned. In fact, he said nothing at all about homosexuality. I'd be surprised if any of these people you talked to have even read the bible (aside from the condemning verses that they are so proud of). I've even read a few interesting articles where the writers think that Jesus was gay. I rather like their argument. It is fun to work that into conversation, would you not worship a gay Christ?

Seahawks DE Irvin suspended four games
New York, NY – Seattle Seahawks defensive end Bruce Irvin has been suspended without pay for the first four games of the 2013 regular season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancing substances.
Irvin will be eligible to return to the Seahawks' active roster on Monday, September 30 following the team's September 29 game against the Houston Texans. He can participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games.
The West Virginia product had 16 tackles and eight sacks in 16 games as a rookie last season.
"I want to apologize to my teammates, coaches and Seahawks fans for making a mistake when I took a substance that is prohibited in the NFL without a medical exemption," Irvin said in a statement. "I am extremely disappointed in the poor judgment I showed and take full responsibility for my actions. I will not appeal the discipline and instead will focus my energy on preparing for the season so I can begin earning your trust and respect again. I look forward to contributing to the team the moment I return."

Nontraditional Age Students
Mount Holyoke continues to support the philosophy of its founder, Mary Lyon, who believed that a Mount Holyoke education should be available to any talented woman who could benefit from it. In recognition of the fact that the quest for knowledge has no age limit, Mount Holyoke College welcomes scholars who follow unconventional paths to its gates and, through The Frances Perkins Program, opens the nation's oldest women's college to students of nontraditional age who have not yet earned an undergraduate degree. Each year, for twenty-five admitted Frances Perkins scholars, that welcome comes with very generous financial support from the College. Applicants for a second bachelor's degree are not eligible for institutional funding and should contact the Office of Admission for more information.
The Frances Perkins Program is open to and designed for women 25 years and older who have experienced an interruption in their education, but who now seek the intellectual challenge of completing their 4-year degree at a top liberal arts institution. Veterans, active military, and women who are under 25 with dependents are also eligible to apply. Frances Perkins scholars fulfill the same requirements as do all other Mount Holyoke students, but have the added flexibility of electing either a full or part-time (two course) schedule and, if they enter with sophomore or junior standing, are exempt from the first-year seminar requirement. Women who do not meet the minimum age requirement, but have dependents or are veterans, are also eligible to apply for admission through this program.
Each year approximately 90 diverse and intellectually curious women are enrolled at Mount Holyoke as Frances Perkins scholars (FPs). Most FPs matriculate with between thirty and sixty four transferrable credits. These students enhance Mount Holyoke's excellence by bringing extensive work and life experiences to campus. Their contributions to the academic and social climate of the College are embraced by their traditional-aged classmates as well as the College's faculty and staff. Together, FPs form a close-knit community, supporting one another both as scholars and as women.
Since its founding in 1980, the Frances Perkins Program has graduated more than a thousand highly accomplished women. Many have entered the professions; others have excelled in well-known graduate programs; some have chosen entrepreneurial paths; one is a current Fulbright Scholar. We invite you to visit, and begin to more fully imagine where the unique confidence born of a Mount Holyoke education could lead you.

Garden located in A Escravitude (Padrón). It used to belong to one of the chaplaincies of the Sanctuary found here. It was rehabilitated by the Paideia Foundation in 2007.
This garden is of great educational and cultural interest for two reasons. On the one hand, it serves as an example of the use of stony ground, with steep slopes and scarce soil, as recreational areas and on the other hand, it features plants that are not commonly found in Galician gardens.
Nearly all of the plants found in this garden are varieties obtained from plant breeding, using wild species that grow in different countries around the world. The most frequently used methods to obtain these varieties were selection processes, i.e. choosing and propagating specimens that stand out due to a particular feature, such as strikingly coloured leaves (maple trees with purple leaves, conifers with yellow leaves, heather with orange shoots, etc.), unusual growth (dwarf or ball-shaped conifers) or large, colourful leaves (magnolias). There are also varieties resulting from natural or induced hybridization, such as several types of heather, lemon-scented thyme, azaleas or rhododendrons, cherry tree with hanging branches, hybrid Dutch elm, etc.
Around about 170 different varieties are cultivated in this garden, most of which are bushes. It is worth highlighting the great diversity of heather, with close to 40 varieties. Although heather is an important component of Galicia's natural countryside,it is not usually present in Galician gardens, unlike the case of other European countries, such as Great Britain, Ireland or Germany.

Mancos resident Logan Ott has been a fixture in the Durango running community for many years, most notably as a former collegiate runner for Fort Lewis College and four-year recipient of the Marc Witkes Memorial Cross Country Scholarship.
In 2011, Ott was named the FLC scholar-athlete of the year and received the Dr. Troy Bledsoe award, which is presented to a senior student/athlete who best exemplifies the balance of excellence in athletics and academics.
Although not particularly fast at the collegiate level, I have received recognition for having a good balance of brains and brawn, Ott said.
Otts family lived in Cape Town, South Africa, between 1999 and 2003. His father was a diamond geologist and coached cross country at the local primary school. Logan has fond memories of predawn training runs with his father during those years.
Dad was my first running role model, Ott said. Seeing him run all the time convinced me to try it.
Otts first real competitive running experiences were in 2003, when, as a freshman, he ran for Mancos High School.
I was so inspired by other Mancos kids, like Clayton Smith and Ian Mullikin, who actually made it to run in college, Ott said.
Another important role model was Brianne Lippoldt-Nelson, who was the distance coach for the MHS track team during Otts senior year.
Briannes presence was a big inspiration for our team, Ott said. She encouraged me to join FLC cross country and told me about the Marc Witkes Scholarship.
Lippoldt-Nelson is an All-American FLC cross country alumna and currently competes for the Boulder Running Club Adidas Team.
Over the years, Ott has won numerous local races, the Steamworks Half Marathon and the Community Cares 5K to name a couple. Most recently, he won the newly resurrected Durango Double marathon.
The Durango Double was my first marathon, Ott said. I wanted to try something new.
Already setting his sights on another marathon, he said, Im thinking about running P.F. Changs Rock N Roll Arizona Marathon in January in Phoenix. The competition, low elevation and flat terrain will be great for fast times.
Running is like an adventure for Ott. He still gets excited about encountering animals along the route, watching the seasonal changes and running on windy obstacle-filled trails.
Although most of my runs are in the forest, I do track workouts and road races because it helps me increase my speed and accomplish new personal records, Ott said.
A civil engineer by trade, Ott worked on a land survey crew during the summer and currently is seeking an engineer-in-training position.
Ott currently runs for Team Earth Elite as part of the Mancos Project, a running club that values the importance of maintaining a sustainable lifestyle. Members believe in good health, community involvement through running and strive to become more sustainable in their daily lives.
I am confident we will be seeing Otts name among the top runners in Colorado as he continues to pursue his passion and tackle new running adventures.

JEFFERSON CITY (AP) � The Missouri House has spent more than $1,100 in taxpayer money on a security camera to keep watch over a new bronze bust of conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh, the House clerk said yesterday.
Clerk Adam Crumbliss said he authorized the camera after discussions with Republican legislative leaders because of concerns the sculpture of Limbaugh's head and shoulders might be vandalized. "We recognize that there was a level of controversy around it, and we want to make sure that property is protected," Crumbliss said. "We've had lots of calls, and some calls and complaints have been a little beyond the pale."
Limbaugh was inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians last week during a closed-door ceremony in the House chamber as police stood guard to keep out any uninvited political opponents or protesters.
After news broke in March that House Speaker Steven Tilley had selected Limbaugh for the honor, the chamber's Republican leader was sharply criticized by Democratic lawmakers, liberal activists and some women's groups. Protesters wheeled 600 rolls of toilet paper into the middle of Tilley's Capitol office encouraging him to "Flush Rush!" and delivered about 35,000 petition signatures against Limbaugh's induction.
But Tilley, who like Limbaugh is from southeast Missouri, refused to reverse his selection.
The rotunda in the third floor of Missouri's Capitol features dozens of statues honoring people such as President Harry Truman, Walt Disney and former Cardinals baseball star Stan Musial. Like the others, the Limbaugh bust was funded with private donations. It went on public display after lawmakers ended their annual session last Friday.
Although there is a general security camera in the center of the Capitol rotunda, Limbaugh's statue is the only one with its own additional security camera.
Assistant House Minority Leader Tishaura Jones said yesterday the special security camera was both a surprise and a concern to her. She said the money could have been better spent on salaries for legislative staff.
Crumbliss said the special security camera is serving a dual purpose. He said the House has been considering installing cameras in the chamber so that it can have live broadcasts of its session. The camera pointed at the Limbaugh statue outside the chamber can serve as a pilot project to test the resolution and quality of its picture, he said.

A secure portal allowing our customers and vendors 24/7 access to their operational and financial information.
When it comes to the transit of cargo intermodal simply means the use of more than one form of transport to move goods from the point of origin.
While ocean carriage remains MSC's core service offering, we also offer inland transport services – be it road, rail or barge – providing our customers with a swift and reliable door-to-door service, wherever they are in the world.
Here is an example:
A container travelling from a factory in China to a retailer in the USA could go through the following intermodal moves:
Sound complicated? Actually when you have MSC overseeing each stage of the journey it's a remarkably easy, efficient and economical means of transporting your cargo.
For more information on the intermodal services available to you, visit the intermodal page of this website. Alternatively, call your local MSC office for more information.
As with all aspects of global transport, intermodalism has a language and terminology all of its own. Some of the most common terms you are likely to come across are:
The difference between pre-carriage and on-carriage transportation is really very simple: all the transportation taking place BEFORE your cargo is loaded on a vessel is called Pre-carriage. It covers the carriage of goods (containers) by any mode of transport from the place of receipt to the port of loading into the ocean vessel – this would cover any necessary movement for packing/stuffing, etc.
All the inland transportation taking place AFTER the container is discharged from the vessel is called On-carriage.
While some, typically smaller, countries might only store containers at their ports, larger countries also tend to have inland container depots; conveniently-located storage areas for empty containers. Some depots are independently-operated, so that any carrier can use their facilities; others are operated by specific carriers. There are two main types of depots:
Ports in some countries are choked by heavy traffic in and/or around the terminals. This can significantly slow the progress of cargo to or from the vessels. In some of these countries special areas have been developed specifically to lighten the burden on the seaports. These are the Dry Ports, which can be seen as a depot under Customs supervision. The status of the port is changed from an entry point into the country to a simple transit point and the "entry" part is moved to one or several further inland locations.
Dry ports make both imports and exports easier, promoting trade by offering:
For more information on dry ports utilised by MSC in your country, contact your local MSC office.
When using inland transport in some large cities, MSC can sometimes offer more than one level of tariff – with the rate varying according to the level of customer/MSC involvement in its landside movement. For example, in Chicago we wouldn't simply offer a 'Chicago tariff' – this is not precise enough. Instead we offer a choice between 'Chicago Ramp', 'Chicago Depot' or 'Chicago Door' rates. These are defined as:
In fact, there can be many points at which we can accept the cargo from the factory to the docks:
After phone arrangements are made, we will send our trucker to the Place of Acceptance / Place of Receipt. This is the location where a consignment (shipment) is received by the carrier from the shipper; the place where the carrier's liability for transport venture commences. Alternatively, the driver might be directed to the Place of Despatch, a name and address specifying where goods are collected or taken over by the carrier (i.e. if other than consignor).
At that location, the trucker will receive a Delivery Instruction, the official document issued by a buyer giving instructions regarding the details of the delivery of goods ordered. It will be exchanged against a Way Bill, the trucker's document which confirms the shipping order and which, for the shipper, acts like a receipt for goods. If you are shipping with MSC both of these documents should include our reference, i.e. our Booking Number.
In addition to the pure transportation charges, when moving goods by road it's possible that you will have to account for Waiting Time charges. When we bring an empty container to a Place of Receipt location to load the cargo, the trucker allows for a certain period of 'free time', say, two hours. Should the loading take longer than that (starting at 2hrs + 1 second), the trucking company will often charge a Waiting Time fee for every hour spent waiting above and beyond the allowed free time.
If you're aware that loading a particular container is likely to take a long time, you have the option to request a 'Drop-and-Pick' move. With Drop-and-Pick, the driver will bring over the empty container and leave immediately, returning only after being advised that the loading has been completed and the container is ready to be transported.
Clearly different cargoes take different lengths of time to load; if the cargo is household goods, for example, two hours is unlikely to be sufficient (six to eight hours would be more like it).
However, if the cargo comprised shrink-wrapped cartons on standard pallets, requiring no lashing, bracing or dunnage (stuffing/packaging materials), then the container could be loaded a lot quicker than two hours.
Depending on the Waiting Time tariff and the required period for the loading, you need to decide whether it is more beneficial to pay for extra time or to pay for a drop-and-pick. If you're not sure, contact your local MSC office and we'll be happy to advise you. The latter is obviously more costly than a single move due to the fact that it necessitates a double-trip by the trucker, but it might end up being cheaper than a regular move involving three or four hours of waiting time.
In some situations where the cargo might come from different plants, you can ask for multiple stops for which a tariff can be negotiated. The thing to watch here would be ensuring the integrity of the first stop cargo filling. Where there is less than a container load it's crucial to ensure the cargo is sufficiently braced inside to avoid damage during transit to subsequent stops.
The previously described intermodal variations of Door/Depot/Ramp, CFS/CY, Waiting Time and multiple drops are naturally all viable for imports as well as exports (unless local regulations prevent it, e.g. mandatory use of state-run transport). However, another complication may arise on the import side: local Customs.
Normally the import cargo stays at the port of entry until Customs duties have been paid and the goods are free to enter the country (port terminals are all secure areas under the control of the local Customs). Only then can MSC arrange the further intermodal move(s) to complete the delivery to the final destination.
Principally, two other situations may sometimes also arise:
Here's a more detailed example to help clarify this particular scenario:
The import merchandise will be directly placed into a Bonded Warehouse normally situated inside the port area.
There, the merchandise can be altered, mixed with some other merchandise, repackaged and re-exported, all the while without having paid Import Customs Duties since it never technically entered the country. The merchandise is considered Bonded goods (dutiable goods upon which duties have not been paid i.e. goods in transit or warehoused pending customs clearance).
It is the warehouse, the building and the people responsible for its operations that will have filed for a Customs Bond.
Again, to clarify, here's a simple working example:
Depending on the particular country of the port of discharge, there may, or may not, exist the possibility to quickly pass through the port of discharge without the delay of Customs processing.
This happens if it can be proven that Customs Duties will be paid at an inland dry port in the same country, or that another country's Customs will process the entry.
In the meantime, the goods are considered bonded goods, and will be placed under a Customs seal until the import duties are paid or until the goods are taken out of the country.
It is the trucking company that files for a Customs Bond and that is responsible vis-à-vis the Port of Discharge Customs.
For these situations, specialised warehouses and truckers have posted a bond with the Customs which allows them to handle such specific requirements. A bond is a type of bank guarantee. In the above two situations, Customs Duties will not be paid, nor even assessed, due to the specifics of the cargo move, and this is accepted by the Customs authorities.
However, should the merchandise be found somehow inside the country, or simply to have disappeared…then the Customs can have access to the funds in the bond to obtain payment for the duties which should have been processed, plus the penalties and expenses.
An intermodal arrangement may be billed to an MSC client in several ways:
The choice is actually determined by you the customer – as negotiated as part of the terms of sale.
The local tariffs vary, of course, from country to country, but generally the domestic charges are per container and based on the distance travelled and the time required, (rather than on the type of cargo being transported, as is the ocean carriers' practice).
Often the tariffs list transportation costs for a given zone, an area, belt or district extending about a certain point defined for transport and/or charge purpose. Therefore, some carriers offer Zone Haulage Rates, for which they will undertake the haulage of goods or containers between the place of receipt/delivery and the carrier's terminal.
Such haulage will be undertaken only subject to the terms and conditions of the tariff and of the carrier's Combined Transport Bill of Lading.
As always, if you're finding it hard to differentiate between the various intermodal rates, do get in touch with your local MSC office who will be more than happy to make things clearer.

I recently finished the Dresden Files and admittedly I have become a fan. It seems most of urban fantasy nowadays is dominated by female authors using these settings for thinly veiled romances so I found Butchers rather practical approach to the supernatural world rather refreshing.
Also, while the first couple of novels where rather mediocre and cliched it is amazing how you can literally read how the author improves with each book. (Took me a week to read the first novel, two nights to read the last one..... ).
Unfortunatly I once again couldn't wait till the series is complete (I hate waiting a year for the continuation) so now I am currently out of stuff to read, so my question is....something similar out there? Anyone read the second novel-series from Butcher? Any good?
Any recommendations?

Plenty of teams have had quarterback controversies. The Eagles are the first with a quarterback controversy controversy, with the locker room divided not over who the quarterback should be but when the head coach should let them all know.
The only thing of which we're reasonably certain is that, eventually, the one guy who isn't considered to be a serious candidate likely will be the one who eventually has the job.
Rookie Matt Barkley, who entered the season as a potential first-round pick and who fell to round four due to ineffectiveness and injury, has agreed to terms on his rookie deal. The team announced the transaction on Thursday.
The deal leaves only tackle Lane Johnson, the fourth overall pick in the draft, without a contract. The Eagles are expected to try to insert offset language in Johnson's deal, which could set the stage for a possible holdout.
Barkley will be No. 3 on the depth chart behind Mike Vick and Nick Foles. Unless, of course, the Eagles decide to get rid of whoever doesn't get the starting job and let Barkley be the primary backup.
Which would be called a post-quarterback controversy controversy.

Pirates of the Burning Sea (PC) review
"One of the biggest problems with MMOs is repetition, not specifically the grind of gaining levels or earning money. Actually, one of the most abrasive elements of repetition is addressed in the little snippet above. With all the World of Warcrafts and Everquests and Lineages and the legions of similar games who only mix up the gameplay slightly, it's nice to see a game where with only one screenshot, you can see a big difference. Nowhere will you see dwarves with huge glowing axes, or spell casters, or half naked elf women dancing for money in town square."

Since we wrote The Fallacy Detective in 2002, we have received many letters from teachers who use our book in their classroom. We've created this page to give you suggestions about how to use our book with a group of students.
The Fallacy Detective has 36 lessons with exercises. The answers to the exercises are found in the back. This presents a problem, "How do I assign homework when the answers are in the back?" But this is nothing a little creativity can't solve.
Nathaniel and I have written a thirty-two question test. It is not a difficult test. Teachers can use it to check that students paid attention in logic class. This test is free. We will email The Fallacy Detective Test as a PDF file to any teacher who requests it and you can print it on your computer printer. This file contains the test and the teacher's answer key.
In your request email, please give us (1) your name, (2) the school you represent, and (3) what you teach at that school. We want to make sure only teachers and not students receive this test.
Any teacher can use our test, even if you don't use our book The Fallacy Detective in your class. We will still send the test and you can use it to test how good your students are at detecting fallacies.
If you would like to make more test material for your class, you can use The Christian Logic News archives for material. You might also try playing The Fallacy Detective Game (located at the back of our book) in the class. Students make up fallacies in specific categories and vote on which fallacy is the "best." Students find the correct name for their chosen fallacy.
Are you a logic teacher who has used The Fallacy Detective in your class? We would like to hear your input.

icy wrote:It costs alot to stay vegetarian and vegan as I've found out. Honestly, it's difficult right now, temptation is everywhere at this time of year.
That's a myth. It's only expensive if you buy a lot of faux "meat" products or expensive organic produce. Pasta is dirt cheap for example and you get protein from pasta too. There's almost the same amount of protein in broccoli than meat. I was tempted at first when I became vegan (vegetarian first) but once you learn to equate animal products with the suffering they cause it gets easy. As I've said before. Since we don't NEED animal products to survive it really is just selfishness to consume them. I know that sounds harsh and I'm NOT judging anyone in particular but it's basic logic. There are, however, some humans who need animal products to survive. Those with no access to alternative food. But that's a small percentage of the globe. Bottom line is if there's a will there's a way but LOVE and MORALITY always seem to involve some sacrifice.

Syrians Find No Refuge in Greece
More Migrants Attempt Sea Journey but Find Hostile Greeting, Little Hope for Asylum
LESVOS, Greece—On this Aegean island's shores, Syria's refugee crisis is crashing up against Greece's migrant-policy mess.
Mohamed Simo, a 28-year-old Web designer from Aleppo, Syria, wanted to avoid the limbo of refugee camps of Turkey and Jordan, so he paid smugglers to bring him to Europe. After what he said was a harrowing journey from Turkey in a sinking plastic boat on a cold February night, he washed up in this tourist haven and was detained by local police....

Daffodils growing at the end of my street blossom every year. Daffodil Day is fast approaching on Friday so I thought a photo of these gorgeous flowers was appropriate.
Daffodil Day is when cancer charities all over the world raise a large portion of their funds by selling daffodils. If you see an official seller please support a good cause and give generously.
I gave away a Daffodil Day header image last year on my blog. Actually, I'm still using it since then as my blog's banner so I'm rather pleased with it!
I'm going to give The Irish Cancer Society any profit made from the sale of this image in the next 2 days. As Red Bubble have set a base price to cover their own costs and profit, my profit from each sale isn't that much. Therefore, I'll add 50 Euro to whatever I make. If there are no sales, The Irish Cancer Society still gets 50 Euro from me.

Lindsey Vonn is feeling better and has returned to Europe and started training again as she prepares to return to the World Cup circuit after an unscheduled midseason break.
Rainer Salzgeber, the racing director of Vonn's equipment supplier Head, told The Associated Press that the four-time overall winner arrived in Austria on Wednesday and began light training on Thursday.
Salzgeber said Vonn was planning to race in the downhill and super-G in St. Anton, Austria, on Jan. 12-13.
Vonn has not competed since falling in the opening run of a giant slalom in Courchevel, France, on Dec. 16. After that race, the American announced she was going home to fully recover from an intestinal illness that landed her in the hospital in November.
Vonn has been joined by her ski technician, Heinz Haemmerle.
"Heinz said she did a lot of free skiing today, and did some (giant slalom)," Salzgeber said. "The plan has always been for her to come back at St. Anton."
Returning in St. Anton would mean missing a total of six races, giving Vonn little chance of defending the overall title. She has dropped from fourth to sixth in the standings, and is 725 points behind leader Tina Maze of Slovenia.
U.S. women's head coach Alex Hoedlmoser wouldn't confirm Vonn's return in St. Anton yet.
"We all want her to come back and she obviously wants to race but it will depend on how well things are going during training the next couple of days," he said. "The first downhill training is (next) Thursday so there is no hurry, we still have some time left."
After St. Anton, the women have a slalom in Flachau, Austria, followed by more speed races in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, the next weekend.
It remains unclear if Vonn will enter every event the rest of the season.
"That depends on how it goes," Salzgeber said.
However, returning in St. Anton — on a course Vonn has won on before — gives her plenty of time to get back into top form for the season's highlight, the world championships in Schladming, Austria, from Feb. 5-17. A year before the Sochi Olympics, Vonn will be looking to regain the downhill and super-G world titles that Austria's Elisabeth Goergl took from her two seasons ago when Vonn was slowed by a mild concussion.
Vonn stayed two nights in a hospital in Vail, Colorado in November after suffering from severe intestinal pain. She then returned and won three consecutive races in Lake Louise, Alberta.
Vonn also won a super-G in St. Moritz, Switzerland, on Dec. 8, but struggled in her last three races — even making an uncharacteristic fall in downhill, her best event, in Val d'Isere, France.
With 57 career wins, Vonn needs just five more to match all-time leader Annemarie Moser-Proell of Austria.
Vonn is training in Hinterreit, the Austrian resort where she crashed badly in training before worlds two seasons ago, ending up with a mild concussion.
Teammate Bode Miller, meanwhile, has still not started training as he works his way back from left knee surgery at the end of last season.
Salzgeber said Miller was still expected back in Europe at the end of the month, but likely won't race this season.
"I don't know what he expects, but I don't expect it," Salzgeber said.
Associated Press writer Eric Willemsen in Zagreb, Croatia, contributed to this report.

There are three distinct styles of power chair, all of which are categorised by the location of the wheels driving them. They are:
Each style of power chair offers a very different driving sensation, and different advantages/disadvantages to match in relation to the space that it requires to manoeuvre.
Over and above the range of bases with different wheel positions, there is also a wide range of seating options available on power chairs, to cover a wide range of potential needs. These range from simple slung canvas upholstery to complex motorised seating units, allowing independent positioning of one's body while seated in the chair.
As there is not a one-size-fits-all solution, power chairs should be viewed on a case-by-case basis. If you have any further questions regarding a power chair, or would like to look at the power chairs available through Allied Medical click here.
Thanks to huge developments in the electronics arena, power chairs are now more accessible than ever and the methods of controlling power chairs expand from year to year. The standard method of control is through a joystick, working on a pushing motion, where the joystick is pushed in the desired direction of movement.
If joystick operation is not a feasible means of control, we are able to harness almost any location on the body (even where movement is very minimal). The user will have total access and control of the chair, including any seating functions and access to control of the surrounding environment.
We have people using power chairs everywhere from mountain bike tracks to farmland, supermarket isles to footpaths, and of course everywhere in and around the home!
Power chairs are designed to cover a wide range of terrain, with different models being more appropriate to traverse different surfaces and conditions, depending on your intended use for the chair.
You can assume that any power chair will be able to cover the majority of surfaces found within your home and community; be it carpet, concrete or grass etc. Obviously, more challenging surfaces i.e. mud; require more competent chairs, which are also available.
As often as you like! A power chair is designed to be there for your assistance, as little or as much as you need. Charging the batteries (view separate FAQ on this page) is advisable if the chair is left unused for long periods, but beyond that, no damage is done if the chair is not used frequently, nor will daily use be of detriment to the chair.
Power chairs are supplied with batteries matched to the performance required from the chair, and as such, the batteries will allow the chair to be used for the duration of the day, before needing to be recharged. In terms of the life of the batteries, one should expect upwards of 12 months from a new set of batteries, depending on their usage and the regularity of their recharging.
A power chair is supplied with a specific battery charger designed to plug into a socket, usually located on the power chair remote (joystick/controller). This charger is then plugged into a regular 3-pin 230V wall socket. The amount of time required to charge the chair will vary, but it is recommended that the chair be charged nightly to ensure a full charge each time the use of the chair is required.
We, along with the manufacturers of the power chairs that we distribute, do not recommend that anyone remains seating in a power chair while travelling in a motor vehicle. The power chair should be stowed on the boot of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries removed and/or properly secured. In addition, all removable power chair parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller and shrouds should be removed and/or properly secured during motor vehicle transportation. Vehicle tie down points are added to power chairs to secure an unoccupied power chair during transportation.
We believe that users of wheelchairs and powerchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use the restraints made available through the vehicle's manufacturer.
All airlines have their own specific regulations, so we recommend that you contact them directly for their detailed guidelines. However, the following refers to general information that you may need to consider.
As a general rule, airlines will require all types of wheelchairs to be checked luggage. All power chairs must be stowed as check-in luggage, so it's important to minimise the possibility of damage during transit. We suggest you remove the seat cushions and any other parts that could easily become separated from the chair.
Also, it is probably a good idea to travel with some basic maintenance tools for your wheelchair.
It is important to supply your chosen airline with as much information as possible when you make your flight booking. You may need to supply them with some or all of the following information:
For best practise, always contact your chosen airline for their specific regulations before getting to the airport. For information from Air New Zealand please click here.
Download our Powerchair Specifications for Flights guide here.
Charging the batteries is the most essential maintenance task required of any power chair. Without this occurring on an ongoing basis, the chair will lack the power to perform at it's optimum. Correct tyre inflation is also an important maintenance task to ensure the chair is operating in the most efficient manner without having increased resistance to battle with. This task can be carried out anywhere with access to compressed air e.g. a petrol station, bike shop etc.
Beyond that, it is important that all bearings and points requiring lubrication are checked and replenished on a frequent basis.
The seating component of a power chair is unlikely to have any parts requiring ongoing maintenance, though if this were the case, it would be expected that advice on these tasks would be provided by the therapist/supplier at the time of delivery of such an item.
There are a number of wheelchair technicians located through New Zealand, some operating independently and some operating as a function of a bike shop or the like. There is coverage available in all of the major centres, but the majority of maintenance tasks on a power chair can easily be performed by a range of people from bike mechanics to auto electricians to mechanics. Click here to find one nearest to you.
It is expected that a power chair would offer a life in the region of 5 years, where it is being used fairly frequently (for example on a daily basis), but this is greatly dependent on the life that it is subjected to and the maintenance that has been carried out on the power chair over its life. On the flip side, it is not uncommon for a power chair to be continuing active duty well beyond 10 years if it has been well maintained and stored in an appropriate environment.
You can use your power chair in the rain, however intense or prolonged exposure of your power chair to rain (or continued dampness) can potentially cause electronic or mechanical malfunctions, as moisture can cause rust and corrosion to various parts. Damage like this would be considered wear & tear.
As a part of your power chair's maintenance you should have it examined periodically for signs of rust from water exposure or any other form of fluid exposure. Damaged components should be replaced or treat immediately.
If your power chair has come into contact with water you should do the following steps:

The Effects Of Using Vinegar In Your Bathroom (Watch Video)
November 19, 2015
Behold vinegar, one of the most common household items found today. We all keep it in the house, but do we really know its true capabilities?
According to zingzap.com, vinegar came about purely by accident. Some genius forgot about his wine cask until its contents had fermented past the alcohol stage. The word "vinegar" comes from the French, who named it "vin aigre," which, interestingly enough, directly translates to sour wine. Vinegar has been produced since then from varying ingredients including, but not limited to, grapes, fruits, berries, beer, potatoes and grains.
Since its discovery thousands of years ago, many uses have been found for vinegar. From making medicinal drinks, to condiments and preservatives, vinegar's possible uses are endless, zingzap.com points out. (Want to learn more? Check out some pros and cons about apple cider vinegar at WebMD.)
Here at SF Globe, we put our vinegar to use one way by testing it as a cleaning solution.
Do you ever look around your bathroom and think about how disgusting it is, but you just don't have enough minutes in the day to clean? Well, here is a simple trick to clean your bathroom in 15 minutes.
Cleaning With Vinegar
You will need the following:
— a dirty toilet
— a dirty mirror
— distilled white vinegar
— water
— a spray bottle
— protective gloves
— paper towels
Pour one cup of vinegar into your dirty toilet bowl. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
While you're waiting, take a look and see what else needs cleaning — a dirty mirror perhaps?
SF Globe
Fill a spray bottle with equal parts vinegar and water and spray the contents directly onto the scum.
Wipe the mirror clean until you can see your beautiful face again.
When you're finished, go back to the toilet. Give it a flush and watch as the dirt goes down the drain. (Watch video below for the full effect.)
SF Globe
As you can see — two areas in the bathroom are sparkling clean in less than 15 minutes with two simple steps each. Are you going to try this? Let us know in the comments below, and watch the video to see how fast and great cleaning with vinegar works!

What power quality can you expect from your utility?
Accurately predicting your supply system's power quality will help you find the best design for your equipment specifications
Most utilities are required to submit reliability performance statistics to their regulators. However, they typically don't provide detailed information on the full range of power quality characteristics that are important to their commercial and industrial customers, including the expected number of voltage sags and interruptions, harmonic distortion levels, voltage unbalance, and voltage variations. The IEEE and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have developed standards to provide guidance in some of these areas. Other events such as voltage sags, are just starting to receive attention.
What do you need to know to make sure your equipment works properly? What levels of power quality can you expect? It's useful to divide power quality considerations into two categories: Steady-state, also called continuous, characteristics and disturbances.Steady-state power quality. The first category of characteristics refers to the quality of the normal voltage supplied to your facility. In other words, how much can the voltage magnitude vary from the nominal value? How distorted is the voltage? What is the unbalance between the 3-phase voltages? It's possible to quantify all of these characteristics and develop limits for the variations.
These are the power quality characteristics that have received the most attention from the standards developing committees. For instance, the European standard EN50160 provides minimum performance requirements for the electric supply in all of the steady-state power quality categories, which are evaluated using statistical procedures. Using statistics to characterize the supply's performance makes it possible to compare the results with the statistical characteristics of equipment immunity to power quality variations.
The objective is to define a performance level that can be achieved with a reasonable investment in the power system and will also be unlikely to cause equipment problems. This level is called the compatibility level and is defined with statistics. For example, it's common to define the compatibility level for performance evaluations as the level that may not be exceeded more than 5% of the time. In other words, there's a 95% probability that the level won't be exceeded. Fig. 1 above illustrates the compatibility level concept compared to a time trend of a steady-state power quality characteristic. Fig. 1 also shows several other important power quality levels, including the following:
- Equipment immunity level
Equipment performance may be negatively affected if this level is exceeded. It's also defined statistically. There should be some margin between the compatibility level for the supply and the equipment immunity level.
- Utility planning level
The electric utility will establish this level as its design objective. Usually, the utility sets the planning level somewhere below the compatibility level to help ensure it won't exceed the actual compatibility level. For example, the compatibility level for harmonic voltage distortion might be 5% but the planning level might be 4%, ensuring the 5% level isn't exceeded.
- Assessed level
This is the actual level that exists on the system. It's usually based on measurements. For example, the evaluation of performance for the European standards requires measurements over a one-week period. So the assessed level, used for comparison with the minimum performance requirements and based on the compatibility level, is the level exceeded for 5% of the measurements (one measured value every 10 min).
So what are the compatibility levels for the steady-state power quality characteristics? The Table above summarizes typical supply system requirements in the important steady-state power quality categories. Minimum power quality requirements don't exist in most states, as they do in Europe and in many other countries, but you can reasonably expect from your supply system the levels indicated in the Table. If any of these levels are being exceeded, it's likely that your electric supplier will work to find the problem and improve the quality of its supply.
It's also important to remember that the power quality levels indicated in the Table are considered normal, so don't assume that your power quality levels will be significantly better than those indicated here. For example, if you're applying power factor correction, it's reasonable to assume that the background harmonic distortion levels on the supply system could be as high as 3% for individual harmonics and 5% for the total distortion. This could influence your design requirements for power factor correction equipment within your facility.Disturbances. Disturbances are power quality variations that can't be characterized with the same time trends and statistical distributions used for steady-state power quality characteristics. Disturbances refer to power quality variations that occur at random intervals yet aren't associated with the steady-state characteristics of the voltage. The variations include outages (reliability), momentary interruptions, voltage sags, and transients. They can all affect your facility, depending on the sensitivity of your equipment and the investments you've made in power conditioning equipment.
The most commonly discussed type of disturbance is the outage. Most utilities around the world report on the reliability performance of their power system. The System Average Interruption Frequency Index (SAIFI) is a common index used to track reliability for power systems. Based on the reported number of power outages customers experience each year, the index can give you a good indication of what to expect in your area. The index defines an outage as an interruption that lasts more than 5 min. For power systems in most developed countries the average SAIFI levels range from .5 to 5.0 interruptions per year, depending on factors like weather, the system's exposure to elements, and whether it's in a networked or radial configuration. The average SAIFI across the United States is about 1.3 outages per year. The index is typically used to evaluate the performance of the system for events that system investments or maintenance could prevent, so it's adjusted to exclude major events that affect a significant portion of the system, such as ice storms, tropical storms, or hurricanes.
Information about the average number of outages that you could experience is interesting, but it's much more useful to get information about the expected number of outages where you're actually connected to the system. Your utility may be able to provide location-specific historical data about reliability that would be more useful for evaluating the need for a UPS or backup generation to protect your critical operations.
Unfortunately, facility operations can be affected by more than just long-duration outages. Momentary voltage sags lasting less than 100 ms are often sufficient to cause disruptions to sensitive equipment and operations. Even though the effects of these disturbances can be the same as long-duration outages, voltage sags can be more important because they occur much more frequently. Faults on distribution and transmission circuits cause these disturbances. The interconnected nature of the system means that faults remote from a facility can still cause a momentary voltage sag that could be sufficient to affect operations.
Many utilities can't even provide information to customers about the expected number of voltage sags they're likely to experience. From 1993 to 1995 EPRI conducted the Distribution Power Quality Project, in which it monitored almost 300 locations across the United States. The benchmarking study provided an estimate for the average number of voltage sags customers experience on distribution systems in the country, and the results were presented at the IEEE 1999 Summer Power Meeting. To present the results of this extensive benchmarking project, they developed System Average rms (Variation) Frequency Index (SARFI), an index used to describe voltage sag performance. The index represents the average number of voltage sags with a specified characteristic experienced by a customer each year. For SARFIX, the index would include all of the voltage dips where the minimum voltage was less than x. For example, SARFI70 represents the expected number of voltage sags in situations where the minimum voltage is less than 70%.
SARFI indices become a very important consideration for many process industry customers because the indices represent events that effect the reliability of the process. There are typically very few actual outages. Therefore, voltage sags represent the most important power quality variation affecting industrial and commercial customers. The IEEE Gold Book (IEEE Standard 493) describes how you should consider the impact of voltage sags as part of your economic evaluation of plant reliability:
"Economic evaluation of reliability begins with the establishment of an interruption definition. Such a definition specifies the magnitude of the voltage sag and the minimum duration of such a reduced-voltage period that results in a loss of production or other function of the plant process."
The SARFI index appropriate for your facility will depend on the sensitivity of your facility's equipment to these voltage variations. This information may not be available without extensive monitoring and evaluation of equipment response to actual disturbances. Fig. 2 from the prior mentioned EPRI benchmarking project, shows how the voltage sag performance is dependent on the minimum voltage level being considered. For instance, the average for the number of voltage sags per year with a minimum voltage less than 70% is about 18 events per year in the United States. However, if equipment could be affected by a voltage sag with a minimum voltage of 90% — a very minor voltage sag — then the number of events per year is about 50. The sensitivity of your equipment is a critical factor in the importance of these disturbances.
Again, average statistics, especially nationwide statistics, aren't very useful for determining whether a facility needs to invest in power conditioning equipment or even if such an investment is economically justified. Figures on expected voltage sag performance at the individual plant location would be useful. Some utilities, like United Illuminating (UI), a regional electric distribution company in Connecticut, calculate the expected voltage sag performance throughout their systems.
UI monitors all of its substations and maintains performance statistics that are updated quarterly. Fig. 3 is an example of the voltage sag performance (SARFI70) across all of the facility's substations, which shows the three-year average voltage sag performance compared with the voltage sag performance in the last year. UI can provide this information to any of its customers to help them understand the power quality they can expect at the point where they're connected to the system.
Transient overvoltages can also be an important consideration for the quality of supply. Lightning or almost any switching event on the power system can cause transients, so it's a good practice to include surge protection for your facility or at least your critical equipment.
But even with protection against high-magnitude transients, transient voltages may still be able to affect your equipment. For example, capacitor switching transients can sometimes affect adjustable speed drives (ASDs), as shown in Fig. 4 (print version only), because they can have enough energy to charge up the DC capacitor in the drives to levels that would cause tripping on the DC overvoltage setting. Capacitor switching transients can also cause problems for low-voltage power factor correction equipment, electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting, and other electronic equipment. Understanding that transients like the one in Fig. 4 are a normal part of your supply system operation can help in developing appropriate specifications for ASDs and other critical equipment.
There is a wide range of power quality variations that a facilities engineer must recognize. Understanding the power quality you can expect from the supply system is a critical part of developing the best design for your equipment specifications and for facility protection. In general, equipment should be designed to withstand the normal steady-state power quality variations you can expect as part of the normal operation of the power system. However, it's unrealistic to expect your equipment to handle all disturbances that may occur. Understanding the expected disturbances and how often they can occur is necessary to optimize investments in equipment protection.

High And And Single ZHANGYUSEN Heeled Lace Summer Fresh Slate The The The The Shoe Sandals The New Shoes Little Black nq4g4xI7a
Most cells in the body — including those in the brain — have a single tiny antenna. These short, narrow spikes are known as primary cilia (SILL-ee-uh). Each one is made of fat and protein. And these cilia will have different jobs, depending on where their host cells live. In the nose, for example, these cilia detect odors. In the eye, they help with vision. But their role in the brain has remained largely a mystery. Until now.
There are no odors to smell or light to see in the brain. Still, those tiny stubs appear to have big jobs, a new study reports. For instance, they may help control appetite — and possibly obesity. These cilia seem to contribute to brain development and memory. They might even help nerve cells chat.
"Perhaps every neuron in the brain possesses cilia," says Kirk Mykytyn. Yet, he adds, most people who study the brain don't even know they're there. Mykytyn is a cell biologist. He works at Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus.
Christian Vaisse is a molecular geneticist. That's someone who studies the role of genes — bits of DNA that give instructions to a cell. He is part of a team at the University of California, San Francisco who studied a protein called MC4R in search of clues about what cilia might do in the brain.
His group had known that tiny changes in the way MC4R does its job could lead to obesity in people. In mice, MC4R is made in the middle of the cell. Later, it moves to take up residence on cilia of the brain cells that help control mousey appetites. Vaisse and his colleagues already knew that MC4R didn't always look the same. Some of its molecules looked unusual. The DNA in some cells must have developed some natural tweak — or mutation — that altered how the body made this protein.
Such mutations might also have changed how the protein worked.
For instance, one altered form of MC4R is connected to obesity. And in the mouse nerve cells making it, this form of the protein no longer shows up in the cilia where it belongs. When the scientists looked in the brain of a mouse with this mutation, they found, again, that MC4R was not on the nerve cell cilia where it should go to work.
The researchers then homed in on a different molecule, one that normally partners with MC4R. This second protein is called ADCY3. When they messed with it, it no longer cooperated with MC4R. Mice making these weird, lonely proteins also gained weight.
This may mean that MC4R needs to reach the cilia and dance with ADCY3 to work. Vaisse and his colleagues published this assessment on January 8 in the journal Nature Genetics.
From food to feelings
Researchers already knew that some unusual version of the MC4R protein was linked with obesity. Now, they have linked obesity to problems with the ADCY3 gene. Two studies on this were also published on January 8 in Nature Genetics. Both of these proteins work only once they climb aboard cilia. That new knowledge provides more support for the idea that cilia are involved in obesity.
These new studies aren't the only clues linking cilia and obesity. A mutation that alters cilia also causes a very rare genetic disease in people. Obesity is one of its symptoms. The new findings hint that abnormal (mutant) cilia may play a role in obesity. And this may be true even in people without the genetic disease.
It's also possible that other genes linked to obesity might need these cilia to do their work, Vaisse says.
Although data show the MC4R protein must reach cilia to control appetite, Mykytyn points out that no one knows why. It's possible that the hairlike extensions have the right mix of helper proteins to let MC4R control appetite. Cilia might also change the way the protein works, perhaps making it more efficient.
Clearly, questions remain. Still, the new study "opens up the window a little more" on what cilia actually do in the brain, says Nick Berbari. He says it shows some of the things those cilia do — and what can happen when they don't get their jobs done. Berbari is a cell biologist in Indianapolis at Indiana University-Purdue University.
Sending brain cell mail
Dopamine (DOPE-uh-meen) is a vital chemical in the brain that serves as a signal to relay messages between cells. Mykytyn and his colleagues have turned up a protein in cilia that detects dopamine. This sensor needs to be on cilia to do its work. Here, cilia might serve as a cell's antenna, waiting to catch dopamine messages.
The stubby antennae may even be able to send cell-mail themselves. That was first reported in a 2014 study. They were studying nerve-cell cilia in worms known as C. elegans. And those cilia could dispatch little chemical packets into the space between cells. Those chemical signals may have a role in the worms' behavior. The scientists published their worm study in the journal Current Biology.
Cilia also may have roles in memory and learning, Berbari says. Mice lacking normal cilia in parts of their brain that were important for memory had trouble remembering a painful shock. These mice also didn't recognize objects as well as did those with normal cilia. These findings suggest mice need healthy cilia for normal memories. Berbari and his colleagues published those findings in 2014 in the journal PLOS ONE.
Finding out just what cilia do in the brain is a tough job, Mykytyn says. But new tricks in microscopy and genetics may reveal more about how these "underappreciated appendages" work, Berbari says. Even in places as busy as the brain.

Review: Prevx1 not ready for prime time
Prevx1 will require significant improvement in management and detection capabilities before it can be considered a serious contender for enterprise deployments.
Prevx1 from Prevx
Price: Starts at $19 per seat for 10 seats
Malware continues to assault our corporate desktops and laptops with rapidly emerging and varying threats. In this climate, behavioral detection tools like Prevx1 offer an extra layer of protection in the crowded endpoint security market.
Prevx1's "signatures" are based on how malware behaves--not on an exact pattern match used in conventional products--which helps it detect variants and new malware threats.
Policy Control: C
Prevx1 offers pretty standard policy controls. Various settings can be tweaked on the client side to fine-tune the detection of malware and its management, including when and how the agent scans the host system and how to handle specific events.
The user can specify the protection mode of software (Basic, Pro or Expert) and manage any discovered suspect executables, including uploading them to the Prevx Web portal for analysis.
Configuration/Management: C+
Installation is a breeze. Prevx1 consists of a protection agent that sits on each desktop. The agents communicate with a Prevx1-hosted Web console that shows the administrator the status of the PCs in the organization with a list of detected suspect .dlls and .exes.
Additionally, the administrator can define and apply policies to all the managed PCs in the environment, although we were disappointed that it's an all-or-nothing proposition. While this may be acceptable for smaller shops, larger firms will find this too limiting. We'd like to see the ability to create and manage multiple profiles for different classes of managed devices. We would also like to see the ability to initiate mass scans or cleanups from the console; it's a fairly standard requirement for a product of this sort.
Effectiveness: C+
We used the Spycar test suite (www.spycar.org) to evaluate Prevx1's heuristic protection capabilities, as well as samples of known malware.
Although, at its highest setting, Prevx1 matched or exceeded the behavioral detection capabilities of the traditional antispyware products we tested in our May issue, we were disappointed that a product designed to detect malware-like behavior didn't do better. Companies considering behavior-based detection as an extra layer of defense need to justify the additional expense and management overhead.
In its default mode, Prevx1 stopped only 23 percent of attacks. We were able to increase the effectiveness to 53 percent by putting the agent into Expert mode and working through the numerous pop-ups asking "Do you want to block this action?" Furthermore, users will generally stick to the default settings rather than deal with what Prevx1's numerous pop-up queries actually mean.
Prevx1 detected 100 percent of the known spyware with which our test system was infected, clearly labeling the suspect files and placing them in quarantine.
Reporting: C
While the console Web portal is somewhat useful for a high-level overview of what's installed in your organization, it is really too simplistic for anything other than SMB or home markets.
Enterprise customers require far more in-depth information and statistics for compliance and SLA support. At a minimum, we'd like to get detailed alerts when infected systems are discovered, as well as remediation details (time to clean, for example). It would also be handy to save the reports as discrete documents like HTML or .pdf, so that they can easily be distributed.
Prevx1 could be usable for the SMB market, but it will require significant improvement in management and detection capabilities before it can be considered a serious contender for enterprise deployments.
Testing methodology
We ran the Spycar test suite via Internet Explorer 6, and applied known malware specimens on a fully patched Windows 2003 test system protected by Prevx1.
