The UK government is pushing back the August 31 deadline for aircraft operators to register for the European Union's new emissions trading scheme (ETS) and to file a plan for the monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of their carbon emissions. According to the British Business and General Aviation Association (BBGA), the revised deadline is likely to be around mid-November this year.
Other EU states have also been working toward an August 31 deadline for operators to register for ETS compliance. Industry sources now believe that they too will be obliged to push back the deadline since most of these states are understood to be even farther behind in the implementation process than the UK.
The UK deadline extension was expected to be formally confirmed in letters to individual operators before the end of last month. Behind the scenes, BBGA officials were unofficially informed of the decision on July 7.
The main reason for the delay is that the European Commission is preparing to issue an expanded list of operators who will be subject to ETS and the European countries who will be responsible for processing their ETS submissions. This is expected by the middle of this month, but sources close to the process have indicated that this might also slip since it falls in the middle of the European vacation season.
Operators who fail to meet the ETS registration deadline will be subject to an initial fine of £5,000 ($8,000), with an additional £500 ($800) charged for every day that they fail to complete the process. (See 'Emissions Trading for Aviation: the Theory'.)
According to EBAA officials, there is still widespread confusion as to how operators are supposed to meet their ETS obligations. There are also doubts about how effectively and uniformly the national agencies appointed to administer the program in each of the 27 EU states will fulfill their side of the bargain.
One business aviation leader close to negotiations with EU officials told AIN that the government agencies handling the ETS implementation have belatedly grasped how many small operators will be subject to the scheme and that they are having a hard time understanding that no list of operators will ever be definitive since non-EU operators who currently have no plans to fly into Europe might someday need to do so and will then need to register for ETS. There is concern that the registration process is too cumbersome and bureaucratic to allow operators to register quickly enough in time to make a trip on short notice.
It is only in recent weeks that the European Commission and bodies such as the UK Environment Agency have started to post detailed guidance on their Web sites. Operators can now find templates and exemplars for reporting MRV plans at the UK Environment Agency site and these are expected to be fairly consistent with those used by equivalent agencies in other states.
However, as of press time, the UK agency still hadn't activated the process by which operators could file plans online, despite having insisted that only online applications will be accepted. As recently as early June, UK officials had been insisting that they would be ready in time to start accepting and processing ETS registrations. The sudden decision last month to push back the deadline was a significant climb-down by officials who appear belatedly to have accepted that they and the EC have underestimated the size of the task.
According to independent advisor David Carlisle of ETS Aviation (see 'Helping to Heal the ETS Headaches'), operators could easily spend between 23 and 40 hours simply analyzing the MRV requirements before they are in a position even to fill out the registration form for their MRV plan. He indicated that while many operators are simply "getting on" with this task, others are finding it daunting.
He predicted that significant numbers of operators would not have been able to meet the August 31 deadline for registration, adding that many outside Europe remain wholly ignorant of the entire ETS situation. Among those who have somewhat belatedly realized that ETS will apply to them are some business aircraft manufacturers themselves, since they routinely make delivery and sales demonstration flights into Europe.
The deadline extension for ETS registration could also allow time for UK officials to resolve issues such as exactly what operators need to do to calculate and verify their emissions reports. The business aviation lobby wants the European Commission to accept Eurocontrol's Pagoda system as a tool for calculating emissions. The system, which calculates fuel burn and the resulting emissions directly from Eurocontrol's own traffic data, has been endorsed by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) as the most efficient benchmark for this task.
EBAA chief operations officer Pedro Azua told AIN that the industry has not yet been shown results from technical trials to establish the accuracy of using Pagoda to calculate emissions. Unless operators can state the means they will use for making these calculations it is hard for them to fully file their MRV plans as required by their national agency. Nonetheless, EBAA has advised its members to file a plan by the deadline, even if they have to use vague wording such as "using a tool developed by Eurocontrol" in the section asking them to specify the means for calculating emissions.
Once operators have had their MRV plans approved, the next hurdle is to have their emissions reports and monitoring process independently verified by an accredited company. Again, EU and national agencies still haven't confirmed the process they will accept for verification and no independent, aviation-specific verification companies have yet been accredited for the task. The authorities have promised to have this in place by year-end–barely allowing time for actual monitoring, reporting and verification to get under way, as required by law, beginning next January 1.
The verifiers will need to receive emissions reports from operators during the last three months of each calendar year to allow the verifiers to audit and submit their reports to the environment agency of the EU member state with which they are registered for approval during the first three months of the following year. ETS Aviation will advise its clients to establish a process of ongoing reporting and verification, through an annual subscription, so that this task does not result in a time-consuming bottleneck of paperwork.
As the starting point for ETS implementation, the European Commission has assigned more than 2,700 individual operators (ranging in size from major airlines to small private flight departments) to one of 27 national agencies for the purposes of compliance. EU-based operators have been assigned to an agency in their home state, while non-European operators have been assigned to a specified EU state–generally the one to which they have flown most frequently.
So, for example, many U.S. corporate flight departments have been assigned to the UK for ETS jurisdiction, as have the U.S. fleets of fractional ownership provider NetJets and Jet Aviation. This has resulted in the UK Environment Agency being assigned some 750 operators, and some in the industry believe this total could actually be much higher.
At an ETS workshop in early June, the Environment Agency insisted that it will be assigning more manpower to deal with the wave of ETS bureaucracy, in a bid to dispel the widely held belief that the authorities will not be able to cope with the workload and will so break their own deadlines for ETS compliance.

LOL: Conan O'Brien Trains Like 'Wonder Woman' with Gal Gadot, Fails Hilariously
Posted on Friday, May 26th, 2017 by Ethan Anderton
In one week, we'll see Gal Gadot return to the big screen for her first solo outing as Wonder Woman. While the actress certainly makes being a superhero look easy, she had to take on six months of various martial arts, weapon and plain old physical training to get in the right shape for the role in the DC Comics movie. Some of the action she did in reshoots even happened while she was pregnant.
Looking to get the same kind of training in a much shorter amount of time, Conan O'Brien got together with Gal Gadot and her trainer for a little workout session so the comedian could comes as close as possible to being as skilled as Wonder Woman. Watch as Conan trains with Wonder Woman after the jump. Read More »

CNN President Jeff Zucker went on the defensive Wednesday night, when a room full of campaign surrogates called him out for his network's lopsided campaign coverage. However, as a surrogate for a former GOP candidate pointed out, the MRC has proven that CNN's track record this campaign season has been anything but defensible.
As journalists try to explain away how they could have been so wrong about the 2016 election, campaign advisors and surrogates from both parties met with representatives from the media at the Harvard Campaign Managers Conference to discuss what happened the past year.
Zucker defended CNN's primary coverage (which overwhelmingly focused on Donald Trump), insisting that that the network had "continuously asked the other candidates to come on and do interviews. And, almost to a person, they declined." He added that "all of the Republican candidates were invited to come on, live or to call into the morning show, which is what he did." When surrogates from the room objected, Zucker dismissed them, saying "I have to respectfully push back on the campaign managers who spoke here today, because frankly, respectfully, I think that's bullshit."
"My point is this," Zucker continued. "Cable news in general and CNN in particular should not be held responsible for the fact that Donald Trump said yes to those interviews, and the others –" at this point he was cut off by several people in the room calling him out for this statement.
<<< Please support MRC's NewsBusters team with a tax-deductible contribution today. >>>
According to Politico, Sarah Huckabee Sanders (daughter of Mike Huckabee, and surrogate for both her father and Trump) cited a study to point out CNN's unbalanced coverage during the GOP primary.
"'Wrong!' shouted Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who had worked as campaign manager for her father [after Zucker had said that all candidates were invited on CNN]. Later, Sanders rattled off one statistic from August 2015 that in a 10-day period Trump had been on CNN during prime time for 256 minutes, and Mike Huckabee had been on for 17 seconds."
While she didn't mention her source, there was only one study comparing CNN airtime for GOP candidates during that month, and it was produced by the MRC. We showed how, over a two-week period, Trump's campaign took up nearly 78 percent of all of CNN's prime time GOP campaign coverage – 580 minutes out of a total of 747. All 16 non-Trump candidates got a combined total of just 167 minutes, much of which was spent comparing them to Trump.
An earlier MRC study proved that the primary coverage on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening news shows followed the same trend.
Zucker also claimed that his network's coverage was based on CNN's recognition that Trump had hit a nerve with many in the country. "You know, look, I think that, I mean, I think to our credit we recognized pretty early on that there was something about Trump that was resonating." Citing his past work with Trump on The Apprentice, Zucker claimed "And I think that we had a pretty good understanding of who he was and how he resonated. So I think, perhaps, maybe earlier than most, we knew that there was something that was going on with him early on." He conceded that "With the early rallies, in those, you know, first few months, I spoke at the Kennedy School about two months ago, and I said that, if we could do it over, we probably wouldn't put as many of those early Trump rallies on unedited as we did," but then he quickly defended that decision as something "I think cable news as a whole did," adding, "OK, that's not why he was the Republican nominee, and that's not why he's the President of the United States."
Zucker also warned against the implications of Trump bashing the media. "I think one of the issues that is going on is, many of our institutions in this country are being denigrated, and I think that's a real problem. And I think that's why it's a problem when the President-elect stands at a rally and says the things he says about the media, or that he says about CNN, and that's a problem. And that hurts all of us. Not just CNN or The Washington Post or – but it hurts, it hurts everyone. And that is a problem for all age groups, obviously younger as well."
Later in the same panel discussion, faced with a question of how journalists failed to see what was going on in much of the country before the election, Executive Editor of the Associated Press Kathleen Carroll denied any such disconnect, defending not just her own outlet but her entire industry. "I know that there are some organizations or some journalists or some – some observers who feel like the media ought to put on a hair shirt, and I think that's crap. I don't think we should."
The New York Times described the backlash against Zucker at the conference as an "A-list revolt."
This quote, as recorded by The New York Times, sums up the feeling towards CNN from many in the room:
"When Sasha Issenberg, the moderator, suggested that the panel move from CNN "to a less contentious subject, fake news," Jeff Roe, Mr. Cruz's campaign manager, piped up.
"'You just covered that!' he said."

Hi, I'm Sandor!
I am passionate entrepreneur and performance marketer with ten thousands happy students.
Let me tell you my story...
At the age of 16, I founded my first online business. After being a full-time CPA marketer for more than 5 years, I decided to shift gears and use my skills to build companies.
Ever since, I have been lucky enough to do what I love the most: entrepreneurship, travelling the world, pushing my comfort zone and discovering things that I couldn't learn in the classroom.
One year ago, I decided to take the next step and share my knowledge with those who are ready to start their own business. This decision brought me to Udemy, where I am able to combine my biggest talents: entrepreneurship, marketing and teaching.
My teaching philosophy on Udemy is simple: I am crafting trainings that I wish I had available to me when I started my first company.
My courses serve a very important goal: helping you to transform your life and becoming a successful entrepreneur and marketer.
I've seen the impact a solid business can have on someone's life. That's why I can only encourage you not to miss out on this opportunity.
As of today, I've sold more than 250,000 trainings, established multiple successful online businesses and coached hundreds of students.
So, that's my story. But now, I just want to ask you a simple question.
Do you want some help?
Do you want to establish your own business, become an entrepreneur or simply generate more revenue from your current business?
Great, because I am sure I am going to be able to help you. Feel free to check out my course portfolio and let's see if we can work together.
Best Regards,
Sandor Kiss
I am passionate entrepreneur, performance marketer and one of Udemy's top instructors.
Let me tell you my story:
After graduating from high school, I had the passion to become a lawyer. During law school, I worked for leading law firms like Baker & McKenzie, Freshfields, Deloitte and the German Ministry of Justice.
I was a top student and really enjoyed what I had been doing. But somehow it didn't feel right, I needed to take a break and rethink my life.
In my third year of law school, I decided to spend a year abroad and take the chance to obtain a Master's Degree in Intellectual Property Law in the wonderful Silicon Valley.
I packed my stuff, booked a flight to California, but had absolutely no clue how much my life would turned upside down.
Long story short: I found the inspiration I had been looking for all my life.
Almost every person I met was a founder. Some of them failed 9 times in a row, but they kept on trying until they succeeded. Some of them were just 18 years old, some of them were 70.
I wanted to become just like them. I had no clue how to get started, but what I did have was plenty of passion and energy to make things happen.
I spent the daytime in the library studying for my exams and worked at night to build my first business.
It took me almost one year to succeed working 100+ hours a week, but I stuck at it and eventually got it right and established my first successful online business. I didn't make millions, but it gave me the necessary confidence to keep going and realize what I truly wanted:
To build businesses and change the life of other people.
Today, I am the CEO & co-founder of Baydream Media, a digital media publishing company. Besides that, I am the co-founder of Adbaker and Madfox Media, two performance marketing agencies with offices in Munich, Cologne & New York. Together with my team we are consulting with start-ups, medium and large sized companies. My primary field of expertise is Facebook advertising, funnel design and customer relationship management.
One year ago, I decided to take the next step and share my knowledge with those who are ready to grow their own business. This decision brought me to Udemy, were I am able to combine my biggest talents: entrepreneurship, marketing and teaching.
By today, I've sold more than 250,000 trainings, established multiple successful online businesses and coached hundreds of students, revealing the power of scaling businesses with Facebook Ads.
Feel free to check out my course portfolio and let's see if we can work together.

A bowl of hot beef stew on a cold night is one of life's greatest pleasures. Stew is a loose term that generally refers to chunks of meat and vegetables cooked in a thickened stock. When looking for a stew recipe, search for one that's relatively simple. Whether you're making Brunswick stew or oyster stew, you want to keep everything rustic - large chunks made for good hearty bites. Unless you've got hours to spend at the stove, buy decent stew meat - the cheaper cuts take forever to become tender. And don't forget the bread! Weather it's soda bread paired with Irish stew or a hearty slice of baguette served alongside fragrant lamb stew, the two belong together.

This blog is actually an apologize from me to the avatar (fanon) community, especially Vaznock, for my current inactivity. While I could blame it on many things, such as school, vacation, music, my friends, Flash for letting me discover TvTropes :), other wiki's and certain other users of these wiki's who organize cool site-wide stories where I'm allowed to participate in, or ask me to co-operate with their projects, it was actually just me being lazy. :(.
This led to Kyoshi Revolts chapters being delayed and the story becoming a bit inactive, something me and vaz really tried to avoid after the last time. Well, maybe it's to late to apologize, but I really wanted to say sorry in a bit of an original way.
But there's always light at the end of the horizon! To compensate with these dilations, the next weekend (1-2 May), I will release both of my chaps, on one saturday and on on sunday. It'll be a little marathon I call... Forget it, only faggots give names to their short marathons ;). (jk, Flash)
I know this blog seems a bit short and empty, but I could not find a suitable pic or words :D.

The Company has made good operational and strategic progress since the announcement of its Interim Results and the outcome of the strategic review on 30 July 2015, against a challenging backdrop of continued weakness in commodity prices and power generation margins.
The Group's 2015 full year earnings outlook is in line with expectations, despite the impacts from a second gas price reduction in British Gas Residential and previously reported system implementation issues in British Gas Business. This is subject to the usual variables of weather and asset performance during the last few weeks of the year.
Following the strategic review, adjusted operating cash flow delivery is a major focus, and despite recent commodity price weakness the Group remains on track to deliver a baseline level of over £2 billion in 2015.

Historically speaking, HR management seemed to be bound to administration and was entirely administered by HR departments. At Meta4, we believe that this is not the good way to see things, as an HR department underpins the company's ability to leverage the best competitive edge of the market. Diversity, through all its shapes, affects organizational productivity and effectiveness: geographical spread, heterogeneous workforce (cultural, ethical, gender, age, etc), distinct management models and differing work experience, etc. But there are many more factors closely tied to HR that are just as important, if not more, that affect organizations.
The search for talent, crucial to be able to always draw upon the best workers; motivation and training, that let us recycle and keep the competitive edge of the company well honed; striking the balance between work and life; a work atmosphere, so vital for top performance; career plans, appraisals, and a long list of the rest let us optimize our resources and make the most of the best in our people.
All of this has meant that companies are beginning to be aware that the right Human Capital and Talent Management is the capstone for defining their competitive strategy.
At Meta4 we have always believed in innovation and in R&D investment. This has allowed us to develop a new generation of Meta4PeopleNet—an application capable of managing all aspects of the organization, leveraging human potential and increasing the productivity of the companies that have opted for our products.
When PeopleNet emerged in 1999/2000, the Meta4 vision was quite differently pitched to the existing ERP systems of that time. A new paradigm was born with PeopleNet for Human Capital Management based on cutting edge innovation, driven by two key underlying concepts:

I'm trying to create a custome attribute for users to use when creating a new ticket. I went to advanced & internet options but this is all I see:
For lists, specify a comma separated list of options. The first item will be the default value. Start the list with a comma to make the default value blank.
NOTE: These settings may not be edited while Spiceworks is scanning your network. Please come back once the scan is complete.
I stopped the scanning of my network but I can't get past this part.

The network scan will block editing. Conform under settings - scan settings that the scan is actually stopped. If it seems like it has try restarting SW.

After you stop the scan, you need to go back to settings/advance & internet options.
What sort of custom attribute are you trying to create?
May 1, 2012 at 11:53 UTC
I want to have my users to:
Hardware > PC, Printer, Wifi, etc.
Software > MS Office, StrataDial, etc.
Phone > Softphone, Strata Soft, PBX, etc.
May 1, 2012 at 11:55 UTC
I checked and I don't seem to have any scans running but I'm receiving the same issue.
May 1, 2012 at 12:32 UTC
So you are trying to make a list for Ticket Type?
May 1, 2012 at 1:57 UTC
Yes and I figured out why my custom attributes wasn't showing... I had to restart Spice Works!!! LOL

Does anyone else run Sunbelt's new VIPRE Enterprise endpoint protection solution? How does it compare to Symantec's solution?

I'm very interested to see how it compares with Symantec Endpoint Protection 11. We run Symantec AV 10.2 and I am quite hesitant to upgrade to SEP 11, even though our licensing allows for it. The increase in system resource requirements is frightening, not to mention the horror stories of installs gone bad and networks brought to their knees.
I've seen reports of Vipre's affect on desktops not being noticeable -- this sounds great! I'd like also to hear about how much the server end of it requires, and how the console's functionality compares to Symantec's AV/EP consoles.

IT Journey, LLC is an IT service provider.
The text file virus test wasn't stopped at all.
I am going to pass this go around, but will look at them again next year. I currently use TrendMicro Worry Free Security for SMB's (formerly Client/Server/Messaging Suite for SMB).
Aug 11, 2008 at 8:34 UTC
We're in the same state with Symantec, don't want to roll out SEP11 because of the additional drain on resources. I will be rolling out the VIPRE product for final testing. I do like the Symantec AV for Exchange product, it's saved many users from infection.
Aug 12, 2008 at 10:23 UTC
Local Computer Pros is an IT service provider.
I am currently testing VIPRE, but I realize that it's hard to compare it in a virus situation! In general I'm happy with the performance but it is annoyingly verbose and no apparent way to turn off the notifications.
Aug 21, 2008 at 7:08 UTC
I've been testing VIPRE Enterprise for about 3 weeks now. So far my opinion is very positive. At first I also had trouble with it not stopping the EICAR test file, but it was because of the default Active Protection settings. Once I enabled Active Protection and enabled checking files on access it works as you would expect.
I've tried opening some known virus email attachments on a test system, as well as visiting some known bad web sites and it has caught the threat each time. I wish there were some more third party testing results available, but I feel comfortable with it's effectiveness. It has caught a number of things that apparently slipped by our current eTrust product (not all that surprising).
I like the management console a lot. Unlike the CA console I use now it is very intuitive, easy to use, and informative. It is also not as cluttered and confusing (in my opinion) as some of the others I have tested over the past few months (Trend, NOD, Sophos). It is missing some stuff (no right click option to scan a file on demand for example). It may not have quite as many options and fine grained control as the other products, but it is more than adequate for my 200 computer network. It does not include a firewall, or HIPS, but they say these are coming in early 2009.
There are several deployment options and they all worked without a hitch for me. It doesn't remove existing AV products before installing like some of the others do.
It uses an mdb (Access) database for reporting data, and can optionally use I think any version of MS SQL Server. It comes with canned reports that are all very customizable, or you can essentially create your own reports in an interface that is a little like using the report editor in Access.
Customer service has been great. I had a problem with getting computers in a remote office to update from a local update server rather than over the WAN from the main server at the central office. They spent considerable time on the phone with me (support is located in the US), and determined that it was a bug. They called me back later that day with a work around. They called me back the next day to make sure things were still working, and then they sent an updated installer with a fix later the next day.
So this sounds a bit like a promotional ad from them, doesn't it? I guess overall I'm pretty psyched about it, and am likely going to make the switch to VIPRE, but I still want to finish trialing NOD32 before making a final decision.

We have been using all of their products pretty extensively. We are just beginning testing with Vipre, but have the CounterSpy Enterprise product deployed to all of our Enterprise products with excellant results. We have been using it mostly in conjunction with McAfee Enterprise (ePo - etc) with great results. It does work well with Symantec Anti-Virus, but we do not care for this product. We have had a couple of systems where the Symantec product was gutted by a virus and had just the icon left running in the dock. The product was up to date and running correctly prior to the infection, and it was the latest version of the Symantec product. Plus - Symantec's soltuon to their known issues with their products is to have you upgrade. I have been very impressed by the CounterSpy product in that they have even found viruses and removed them before either McAfee or Symantec. Or in a couple of cases, they found the problem and began to remove it, the virus defense activated, and the McAfee figured out the problem and removed it. (I am guessing it was an updated virus, and the definitions for the anti-virus app had not been updated yet). I work for a consulting company, so we pick up new clients with various solutions which we migrate as they expire to our solutions where it makes sense. You can get trial of the software from the website. You can deploy it to certain workstations for the trial, and the interface is easy to use.

The Vipre enterprise product is a real hit.
The performance on the client machines are improved and the users stopped complaining about the administrative scans we have in our policy.
We moving from symantec products to sunbelt portifolio due to there much better view on end users and managers.
Sep 22, 2008 at 5:39 UTC
I'm running the Vipre Enterprise "server" and "console" on a workstation and noticed the memory usage of the console can go through the roof. At initial startup, expect 50MB. Click the Threats button, which brings the program to a halt for awhile, and watch mem usage climb to over 400MB. According to Sunbelt, this is normal behavior. After the threats list is loaded, mem usage goes back down to 24MB; start scrolling around in it, and it shoots back up to 400MB. If I leave the Agents screen, the memory is not completely freed up (something to do with .NET memory management?). Just something to be aware of. I wouldn't advise running the console on a real server.
The server process, on the other hand, is well-behaved and generally stays below 20MB.
As for detection strength, it did find a commercial keylogger, amongst other things, that Symentac Corporate and some online scanners missed. I'll leave the real detection testing up to the labs, though.
One option I would like to see is the ability to deal with threats after scanning. For example, I go into an agent's Scan History and expand a scan. It shows MyWebEx PC with action "Reported". I can't quarantine or delete it at that point. I'd have to change an option somewhere and re-run the scan instead. I would at least suggest an option to "change default behavior for this threat" by way of a righ-click menu.
This isn't a full review; just some notes as I test it out.
I'm running the Server and Console on XP Pro, 3GHz Pentium D, 1GB RAM.
Sep 23, 2008 at 6:19 UTC
I just went through and updated the CounterSpy Enterprise products we have deployed for all of our customers. It is using the same technology as Vipre for the scan engine. They have really improved on the interface - probably as dramatic as going from ePO 3.6 to 4. If you are using the CounterSpy product, you just have to make sure you do not turn on the active protection if you are using another active protection from something like McAfee or Symantec. It integrates with Windows Security settings, and you can have it turn off Defender. Updating all agents and definitions is a snap. The only problem I had was that a couple of the clients were slow to buy the renewal, and their key expired. When you renew, the key is exactly the same, and for some reson it would not reactivate. However, their support is awesome. We have been swamped with a huge project that needs to be done by Friday, and they chased me down to resolve the issue. (Both phone & email) They gave me another temp key to flush the registration, and then I just pasted the key back in. Everything worked perfect. You can set multiple scan schedules, so for example, Sunday and Wednesday night I want to do a deep scan, and the rest of the week I want to do a quick scan, you can set that. You can have it make up scans for the person that always turns off their machine too. We are debating eliminating McAfee from the McAfee / CounterSpy combo we do, and just going with Vipre. The problem is the combo we were doing, while more resource intensive, seems really good at finding hidden viruses. You can do a complete scan with McAfee with the latest DAT, and then run a counterSpy deep scan, and all of a sudden McAfee will catch a virus reacting to the CounterSpy scan. It's like, hey look what I found - even though you missed it on your own. The rest of their products are equally good. We use Ninja for SPAM filtering, and their home products for smaller businesses, or owners of businesses. You can great upgrade deals, and 3 year renewals that are no brainers. The iHate SPAM works really well for small shops, and integrates well with Outlook or Outlook Express - there is a seperate file for Outlook Express though - make sure you read. We have an evaluation copy of their archive software for exchange, but I don't believe we have gotten around to testing it on our Exchange Server yet. We only have EAS/Zantaz deployed at one client as far as Archiving - but $40K is way too much for most small clients. (Sorry for the tangent) We were thinking that the Exchange Archiver might be a good solution. I probably sound like I work for them, but it has really been that good of an experience all around with them. I don't find myself cringing at the though of calling them like you might with Symantec or McAfee when you need support.

I would have a look at this post and the individuals experiences with Vipre Enterprise before going down that path. I know it wasn't just yesterday and I'm sure things have changed but still revelant...
I'd also have a look at this one as well and pay attention more to the comments that follow and those users experiences.
Jan 8, 2010 at 1:29 UTC
I would just comment that, as you noted, these blogs are pretty old. I've been using VIPRE Enterprise almost since it was first released, and will agree that they had a rough few months in early 2009. Sunbelt put a lot of work into getting this fixed, and for the past 6 months VIPRE has been trouble free for us and we are very happy with it.
Jan 8, 2010 at 1:44 UTC
As has Symantec which is a much more robust and powerful solution.
I would perhaps recommend depending less on a malware solution and more on the hardening of the OS that is on the workstations and the network itself by disabling services as well as creating rules for your firewall to not only block incoming but outgoing traffic except for say http(80)/https(443 and only to valid/required business partners sites - malware will "call home" via https and your firewall will let it if you're firewall has no outgoing rules and there is no proxy in place, an IDS or IPS won't necesarily catch it because it can't scan the content) from the address of the proxy server and smtp(25) traffic from the address of the mail server, and any other rules for ONLY needed and valid traffic, otherwise deny all, keep the OS's patched and up to date via a WSUS server for Windows environments (free) and make sure everyone is a restricted user rather than being given admin access, use a proxy solution (99.9% of malware is not proxy aware and it will trigger an alert because it will hit your deny all rule on your firewall that only allows port 80 and 443 from your proxy server) and filter/control internet access, filtering and not allowing email attachments before they reach the users.
I know many people will speak to budget and costs but hardening and disabling of services on workstations costs nothing, nor does securing even the simplest of firewalls. There is a great open source product as well called untangle that will run on an old workstation that provides filtering and monitoring of internet access among other things.
Given the time so many admins seem to spend cleaning and reinstalling systems, downtime for employees, etc. I think a business case would support the spending where it is needed.
I've seen hardened environments that don't even patch or run malware software because the proper controls and filtering is in place.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
I just stumbled on this one. We used to be on Eset but after some completely unacceptable issues involving the repeated use of a remote kill switch on active customers we had to look elsewhere.
We moved to Vipre internally, loved it and became a partner. We resell them now but recommend them regardless of that. They are the best AV that we have trialed and I would certainly not say that they are less robust than Symantec - just more reliable and less resource intensive. Unlike SEP, we've never seen Vipre kill a box accidentally.
We are very happy with it and run it ourselves as well as for clients of all sizes.

Me neither. They've been great both as an end user of them and as a reseller of them.
We hired someone who had a lot of experience with them and he fought to get them internal exposure and already had contacts which got us into a position to test them. But once we did, we dropped our former products (that we had already paid for) and switched. When our money was on the table, we made the move to Vipre.

WARNING-see another neurologist
Key things to watch out for:1.Thoroughness2.Poor bedside manner3.Ego4.Lying to cover5. If you are worthy of disability, she will not back you up even if all your other doctors will.I went to see Dr. Lak when I was in the hospital for a sleep deprived EEG for seizures that I was having. Initially she came off as pleasent and made one diagnosis. After that I went to see her in the office. WOOO! Talk about jeykll and hyde. She got really nasty, blaming me as if it was my fault for the seizures, then she got nasty to my mother for trying to tell her to not be so rude. I lost my job, a chance to go to graqduate school, my ability to drive, I have memory loss, severe depression, severe anxiety, severe sleep deprivation, severe social anxiety disorder, OCD, and have massive mood swings. Prior to the seizures I had a work injusry on my lower back that never healed and another doctor wanted to fuse and I said no because of stories I have heard about it, I also have had a quarter of my stomach removed and recently I had 3 hernias (one the size of a basketbal and 2 the size of baseballs) fixed and the wound got infected 3 times and now I am on a wound vacuum. Even after my back injury I continued to work for 6 more years through the pain and everything doing a highly physical job full time, while going to college full time at the same time, then when the seizure issues began, it was all yanked from me. She knew all of this, that I am not a slacker, and I told her that I was just trying to get TEMPORARY ( 1 year)disability till a better course of action could be taken because after I lost my job I lost my insurance and went through my savings quickly. She looked directly at me and said, "You DO NOT have any disabilities, I do not give out disability."After all the treatments that we tried I was not getting any better. So, another neurologist sent me down to Thomas Jefferson. There I was diagnosed with PNES, Psychogenic Non-epileptic Seizure Disorder. So, in addition to the Myoclonic (the first diagnosis), I now have another type, but hey with all the items I previously listed wrong with me, I do not have a disability according to her.When I brought the new diagnosis to her attention, she said that is nothing new. She tried to say that the PNES was her original diagnosis. WOOOOO! AGAIN, it clearly states on the findings report from the sleep deprived EEG that she stated Myoclonic, PNES is not mentioned anywhere in the report! I know I have a copy of it.She is not very thorough when making a diagnosis. She has no people skills and does not care about you--you are a dollar sign. She is supposed to be the best epilepsy doc at the RHMC, if she is I do not even want to meet the worst. She breaks ethics by lying to her patients and trying to cover her mistakes--hey just admit when you are wrong. As far as disability, you might have a chance with her if you are a talking foot with eyes.By the way, with all that I have been through and all that I wrote, I forgot to mention something important. I am only 29 years old.

What a rollercoaster week for Equitable Life policyholders. First there was tentative optimism as speculation prompted (by our own website, theguardian.com/money) about an announcement on compensation, then excitement following a leak to the press suggesting that, yes, compensation was on the cards ... and then deflation as the deal itself was announced by the government.
The speech started on a positive note for Equitable policyholders. Yvette Cooper, chief secretary to the Treasury, said she "agreed that there had been maladministration in particular areas" with regard to the regulation of Equitable, and that government action was merited. But then came the caveat. Protracted phrasing was used, but it essentially amounted to two words that have come to epitomise the Brown era in government: means-testing.
And then a further blow: to work out who has been "disproportionately affected" and how much they will get paid could take at least two and a half years, if not "significantly longer".
A judge has been appointed to consider first the total sum that has been lost by policyholders and then to work out what proportion of those losses are the fault of the government. Then he will need to work out which class of policyholder has suffered the greatest impact, taking into consideration, presumably, any detriment to those policyholders who have since died. And there was I thinking that means-testing for the pensions credit was convoluted.
It is obvious why the government is doing it this way. Until recently, it seemed, it had no intention of compensating policyholders. But the collapse of Icesave and subsequent bail-out of UK savers by the government resulted in increased pressure to offer some sort of recompense to Equitable customers, too. Yet the Treasury has to consider the cost to the taxpayer and the implications of any action. It doesn't want to be seen to be giving too much public money, not least because blanket compensation could set a precedent for future collapses. More controversially, it may not want to be seen to be giving lots of money to those well-heeled Equitable customers whose policies, in some cases, have not fared too badly.
But by using a complex system of means-testing after eight years of delay, the government has missed a golden opportunity to draw a line under the whole sorry story. This will not only infuriate the policyholders it wants to appease, but will also - more crucially - continue to fuel the negative public perception of pensions.
It looks like we are going to be reporting on Equitable Life for a long time to come.

bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein
Neurotransmitters are released from a specific site in the axon terminal called the active zone, which is composed of synaptic vesicles and a meshwork of cytoskeleton underlying the plasma membrane. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a scaffolding protein involved in organizing the presynaptic cytoskeleton. The gene is expressed primarily in neurons in the brain. A similar gene product in rodents is concentrated in the active zone of axon terminals and tightly associated with cytoskeletal structures, and is essential for regulating neurotransmitter release from a subset of synapses.

Forget Tebowing - now it's Kaepernicking
The latest photo pose social media craze sweeping the USA is inspired by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's touchdown celebration.
Fans of the San Francisco 49ers player have been posting photographs of themselves online mimicking Kaepernick's celebratory action of flexing his right arm and kissing his bicep after scoring a touchdown.
And after guiding his team to the National Football Conference championship game with a thrilling 45-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday, the online craze is gathering momentum.
Many have posted photos of themselves Kaepernicking at home, in bars, on the street, at work or just about any other place they frequent.
Some even positioned their toddlers or dogs in the position. One online video features a five-year-old girl, Sarah Redden, whose rap tribute to Kaepernick went viral in December.
A "tattooed" Sarah mimics the new trend of kissing her inked-up biceps in the YouTube video, which has attracted more than 450,000 hits.
"Me and my brother wrote all the lyrics and produced the whole video and song!!!!!" her page says.
Kaepernicking started weeks ago after the quarterback replaced Alex Smith, though the act has increased during San Francisco's run to the NFC title game against the Atlanta Falcons. Kaepernick has often retweeted other fans' pictures of the act on Twitter.
It follows last year's trend of "Tebowing", a term used to describe former Denver Broncos player Tim Tebow's habit of going down on one knee and clenching his fist to his forehead as he prays during games.
The dedicated Christian won approval to trademark "Tebowing" and use it on hats, shirts, T-shirts, as well as jewellery, clocks, watches, cuff links, tie pins, ornamental pins and holiday ornaments of precious metals.
But his star has faded with the New York Jets this season, and so has Tebowing.

While Taylor Swift was busy dominating the night, a group of Viners (and some YouTubers) descended onto the red carpet of the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
"Yo, for real though. What am I about to wear today? Guys! Seriously, gimme some pointers," Jack Gilinsky pleaded fans. He was joined by girlfriend Madison Beer.
"On the way to the red carpet with the boys…the boys are back," Carter Reynolds warned.
Model-turned-Viner Twan Kuyper was starstruck, "I'm in love with everybody – best day of my life! Can't wait for Kanye West's performance!"
Lia Marie Johnson and Trevor Moran paired up and mugged for the cameras.
Pitch Perfect 2 stars Pentatonix explained that Kirstin Maldonado felt too unwell to go. "Sadly, we're going to be one member short today!"
During the show, Lindsey Stirling performed "See You Again" with Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.
Aspiring rap star Cameron Dallas praised Kelly Clarkson, "Such an inspirational song and performance, you did amazing!"
The Viner pack ended the night in Vegas, where they caught up with Fifth Harmony. "Great meeting all of you guys tonight at the show! Time for yet another Vegas night," Jack Johnson tweeted.

News from the CafeteriaBreakfast Menu:Lunch Menu:Students Continue to Eat Free
in 2016-2017
Once again, all enrolled Mary Walker School District (MWSD) students will eat for free this school year! As you may recall, we were approved by the State of Washington for "Provisional 2" — which means free breakfast and lunch meals for all District students, regardless of family income! Extra milk, "second meal", extra juice, etc., will continue to be available to students for an additional charge.
The breakfast and lunch meals meeting USDA requirements will once again be offered free to each enrolled student from the first day of school. Since the District met the State's criteria for Provisional 2 for the 2011‑2012 school year, and has since applied for and received an extension, we are able to continue to provide free meals to students — through the 2018-2019 school year — all without the need to submit applications!
Our District follows the nutritional guidelines set forth by Federal and State agencies. Mary Walker School District's Cafeteria Supervisor will strive to continue providing students with nutritious and delicious breakfast and lunch offerings.The monthly meal menu will continue to be available at the school building offices so that parents can plan their child(ren)'s meal choices. If you have any questions, please contact the MWSD Cafeteria (258-4731).Other Resources:This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Samsung is said to be planning to bring in Galaxy Note 2′s likely successor Galaxy Note 3 shortly within this year. This Phablet, which is reportedly told to have a 6 inch display, may oust the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and it is expected that it will become a direct competitor to the Galaxy S4.
There has also been great deal of rumor regarding the display that Samsung might use. It may use LCD or AMOLED or Samsung Youm or Samsung's unbreakable flexible display technology that it showed off at CES earlier this year.
Reportedly it was said that Samsung's Display unit plans to produce flexible AMOLED panels but the line's capacity is not enough to make displays for a flagship device like the Galaxy Note 3.
Online reports also say that the new information from Korea Investment & Securities by way of OLED-Display.net, suggests that Samsung may actually be preparing for a flagship device with a 6-inch display Samsung Galaxy Note 3 for sometime later this year, most likely by end of July.
Further, the report states that Samsung may not be able to get production of its Samsung Youm flexible display for the debut of the Galaxy Note 3 later this year. It also believes that Samsung will be selecting an AMOLED display over an LCD display for the Galaxy Note 3.
Online reports further said that the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 may be powered by an Exynos 5 Octa-core processor, Mali 450 GPU with 8 cores and 3 GB of RAM.

MOSCOW, Idaho -
WY-Idaho final stats | Wyo WBB Season Stats
Behind Fallon Lewis' fourth double-double of the season, the Wyoming basketball team (9-2 overall) closed out the non-conference season with a 72-64 win over the Idaho Vandals (7-6 overall) on Saturday afternoon.
Lewis recorded a game high 23 points plus 11 rebounds, four steals and three assists on the night. She was 7-13 from the field and 5-8 from beyond the arc. Kayla Woodward followed with 17 points and seven boards while Marquelle Dent chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds. The Cowgirls were 25-63 (.397) from the field and 15-20 (.750) from the charity stripe.
Alyssa Charlston was the leading scorer for the Vandals with 22 while adding eight rebounds and four blocks. Christina Salvatore finished her night with 15 points and Ali Forde recorded 12 rebounds. Idaho shot 23-68 (.338) from the field and out rebounded the Cowgirls 45-43.
"I told the team about the ten minute mark of the second half that Idaho would not go away. They won the conference tournament last year, went to the NCAA tournament plus had all their starters coming back. When you have that kind of experience and ability to win, you know that they could get on a roll and they did," said head coach Joe Legerski. "We got a little tight and tired towards the end. Then little plays like missing four straight free throws during that stretch or not coming up with a couple extra rebounds starts to be a factor. All of sudden, it gave Idaho life and that became a big part of what was going on. We closed it out at the free throw line which was good to see.
"We've talked to Fallon about shooting the three all along and tonight she was able to do that. Her 23 points plus Kayla Woodward had a solid outing and played almost the entire game. We just needed her plus with Marquelle fouling out, Chelan stepped up. Tough game right before Christmas, I'm just glad to get this one."
Wyoming jumped out early against the Vandals scoring seven of the first nine points to go ahead, 7-2. Five straight points by Idaho evened things up at seven, which was answered by baskets by Woodward and Lewis to make it 11-7 through the first media timeout. A three-point play by Dent out of the break increased the lead to seven, 14-7. A basket by Stacy Barr finally ended a four minute scoreless drought to make it 14-10 with 12:51 left in the half. The Cowgirls responded with an 11-2 run over the next four minute stretch to give them a double-digit lead 25-12. Addie Schivo hit a field goal to stop the run and the Vandals would score six of the next nine to pull to within ten, 28-18. Jordan Sibrel hit a basket and free throw to get the lead back to 13, 31-18. Idaho scored the next six unanswered to cut into the Wyoming lead, 31-24. The Cowgirls would close out the half on a 9-3 run to take a 40-27 lead into the locker room.
The two teams traded baskets to begin the second half until a small run from Wyoming would extend the lead to 17, 51-34, with 15:53 on the clock. Over the next couple of minutes, the Cowgirls continued to maintain their lead. With the score 56-39, Idaho went on a 12-2 run to close the gap to seven, 58-51. A three-point field goal by Woodward would end the scoring drought followed by a Lewis field goal increased the lead back to 12, 63-51, with 8:30 left in the game. The Vandals continued to hang around and scored eight unanswered to make it a four-point contest, 63-59. Dent would hit one of two free throws to stop the run, but Idaho hit a field goal the next time down the court to make the score 64-61. Free throws by Woodward and Mileto pushed the lead back to seven, 68-61, with under a minute to go in the game. A three-point field goal by Alyssa Charlston made it 68-64 with 18 seconds on the clock. Four straight free throws by Landry and Lewis in the final seconds gave the Cowgirls the 72-64 win.
The Cowgirls will return to action on Saturday, January 4, as they begin Mountain West play. They will host the Nevada Wolf Pack at 2:00 p.m. in the Arena Auditorium.

This sounds so peaceful. Thats the main reason why i like this song pretty much. Anyway,keep up your work bro!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Damn. I'm crying. Such beauty.
I love you, Ockeroid. You create works of art...no...beter than art. Works of perfection.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Nice peaceful song, keep up the fantastic work.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Not bad.
I know you said all that needed was the main melody, but I personally feel the part you left out helps transition the song a little. Instead it feels like you're dragging the same idea over and over and over again.
However, beautiful work of using the volume and intensity to your advantage. This song is best preformed quiet, then intense, then quiet, and you seem to have that down. Sent a chill down my spine.
Just because the part I like isn't in it doesn't mean I'll give you a bad score. Good job on this one, I look forward to hearing some more of your stuff. 4/5 7/10
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I wish I had an Ocarina right now. :)

From the moment we checked in we had wonderful service. Everything went so smoothly. We entered our room to find a bottle of wine with a congratulatory note, the hot tub already heated up, and robes ready to go. We loved the little touches: the heated towel rack, the fireplace, the stocked fridge (with inexpensive pricing), and the extremely comfortable bedding. The location was ideal for our trip: you could literally throw a rock and hit the free gondola that takes you to mountain village (where all the ski lifts are). We were within a two minute walk from all the great restaurants in town, and a little market for snacks. The restaurant downstairs, the Cosmopolitan, is incredible. The free breakfast could not have been any better, steak and cheese, smoked salmon, bagels, different pastries every morning, quiches, cereal ,hot coffee etc. The service was amazing and we will absolutely stay there again.

Chicano Press Assocation Meeting - February 9, 2002
Expand Messages
- Chicano Press Assocation:
The primary objective of the CPA is to advance the struggle for Raza self-determination by promoting and unifying the
progressive Chicano press/media.
Essential to this process is confronting stereo-types espoused by the U.S. bourgeois media. The CPA holds the position that
Raza are colonized, indigenous people and that the so-called "Southwest U.S." is in fact Aztlan, part of the Mexicano nation,
stolen in the U.S. expansionlist/imperialist war of 1846-1848.
Furthermore the CPA will commit itself to combating all manifestations of oppression and exploitation. Central to putting into
effect our objectives the CPA membership will actively get involved in the day-to-day struggles being waged by our movement
and by our people. As part of this movement activism, the CPA will commit itself to organizing study sessions, forums, give
presentations and disseminate information/liberature/publications to our communites to help raise the political consiousness of
nuestro pueblo.
Only those who support the goals and objectives of the CPA, and are at some level active in media work (writers, journalism,
popular art/murals, radio, TV, political music, etc.) are welcome to attend our meeting.

This guy who I am seeing seems to be pulling away a bit when I kiss his face (cheeks). He didn't stop me or tell me not to when I kiss his cheeks though, I just felt that he turned his head a bit away to the other side or would try to pull me away slightly, but he would kiss my cheeks and he likes being kissed on his lips and neck.
Most Helpful Guy
I'm sure there are, but I love it!! It's like the greatest compliment/thank you, you could ever get!! More girls should kiss on the cheek!00|00|0

The Sports Animal 790 Is a Turkey
I want to give a shout out to the folks over at The Sports Animal, 790 KBME. I'm giving them a shout for reporting yesterday afternoon the breaking news that TSU had fired its athletic director. Which must have been breaking news because Chron.com had the story on Monday and the Chron's Jerome Solomon had a Tuesday morning column on the matter.
So yeah, I guess it is nice The Sports Animal actually recognized the existence of TSU, but if they're going to get their breaking news from the Chron, maybe they should acknowledge that as well.
Oh, and I was stuck listening to The Sports Animal midday team yesterday – really, I swear that 790 has that damn team run over into Charlie Pallilo's timeslot in hopes that we'll actually listen to them the next day (sorry, it ain't going to happen). What caught my ear was when one of the two, I'm thinking it was J. Money, but I could be wrong, said to make sure to listen to The Sports Animal on Wednesday because they'd be the only station with local coverage following the Clemens/McNamee cage match.
I know that 790 is trying to get a rating for some show besides Pallilo, but I'm calling them out on this. They're weren't only Houston sports station with live local programming after the Clemens hearings. Far from it.
Then again, seeing as The Animal was a day late on the TSU matter, maybe they meant they'd be the only station live with Clemens programming on Thursday. – John Royal
