Trends for stainless steel tube in automotive applications
Greater use of stainless steel may create more demand for hydroformed tube
Evidence that stainless steel has potential as a material for automotive components—for its high strength-to-weight ratio for overall weight reduction, good dent performance, corrosion resistance, and formability—was presented by ISSF members at the SAE International™ 2004 SAE World Congress, in Detroit.
Will tubular automotive components now fabricated from carbon steel and steel alloys be fabricated from stainless steel in the future? Pictured here are a water pump/coolant tube, coolant bypass tube, water outlet tube, and hose assembly for an engine coolant system; transmission oil level tube; oil fill tube; heat/coolant air management components; and seat components. |
Demand for stainless steel reached 24.6 million metric tons (mmt) in 2004, an increase of 7.5 percent over the previous year, according to the International Stainless Steel Forum. Evidence that stainless steel has potential as a material for automotive components—for its high strength-to-weight ratio for overall weight reduction, good dent performance, corrosion resistance, and formability—was presented by ISSF members at the SAE International™ 2004 SAE World Congress in Detroit.
Stainless steel already is being used in automotive exhaust systems. In the early 1990s, exhaust systems in new cars were made primarily of carbon steel and coated carbon steel. Today most new cars come equipped with stainless steel exhaust systems because of increased durability requirements. About 45 to 50 pounds of the stainless steel in automotive applications are in the exhaust systems, according to a technical paper on stainless steel automotive components presented at the conference.1
In addition, stainless steel currently is used in the fabrication of restraint systems, fuel and brake components, and bus and truck trailer frames, according to the report.
Additional stainless steel components under development or consideration by vehicle manufacturers include engine cradles, intrusion beams, fuel tanks, tailgates and liftgates, bumpers and bumper beams, skid plates, crash-sensitive structural members, cylinder head gaskets, suspension and energy-absorption components, and wheels and wheel covers, according to the ISSF.
Stainless—The Other Light Meat
Over the past decade metal producers and researchers have investigated applications for stainless steel in automotive components to determine potential advantages of forming them from stainless steel instead of carbon steel and aluminum, according to the report.
In general, stainless steel costs more than aluminum and carbon steel* and so may not appear to be a cost-effective material, the report stated. However, when stainless steel's high strength-to-weight ratio is considered, it may be possible for lighter, thinner-gauge stainless steel to be substituted for a thicker-gauge carbon steel or high-strength (6000 series) aluminum alloy in automotive structural applications. In addition, stainless steel's potentially increased durability may make it a cost-effective material over the life cycle of the product, according to the report.
The largest weight savings and most cost-effective use of material can be achieved when stainless steel's properties are accounted for in the initial design, according to the report. Some automo-tive components' shapes and how they are fabricated should be modified to take advantage of stainless steel's weight reduction potential, the report's authors said.
For example, to take advantage of stainless steel's formability, some components would be better fabricated from hydroformed tube, the report indicated.
Part Redesigned for Hydroforming, Stainless
To calculate the weight reduction potential of stainless steel in automotive body structures responsible for energy absorption, such as the side members, a test case comparison was performed, and its results were detailed in another report presented at the conference.2
First a carbon steel side structure (see Figure 1) was refabricated from a lighter, thinner-gauge stainless steel without modifying its shape. In a second analysis, the side member was refabricated from stainless steel, but also redesigned to be hydroformed to exploit stainless steel's favorable formability properties.
The carbon steel side member had a multipart, spot-welded design comprising three main deep-drawn parts and one reinforcement part. The overall weight of the side member without the connecting parts was 62 lbs. (28.16 kg).
Substituting 2B, type C600, and C1000 stainless steels alone resulted in a 9.3 percent, 14 percent, and 28.2 percent weight reduction, respectively, while retaining the same energy absorption.
What Is Stainless Steel?Stainless steel is a generic name covering a group of metallic alloys with chromium content in excess of 10.5 percent and a maximum carbon content of 1.2 percent (according to European Standard EN 10088) and often includes other elements, such as nickel and molybdenum. Due to the formation of a passive layer, which is 1 to 2 nanometers thick, this metal pre-sents excellent corrosion resistance. The passive layer is self-healing, and therefore chemical or mechanical damages to it repassivate in oxidizing environments. Common grade 304 is 18 percent chromium, 8 percent nickel —Flavio Friesen and Pierre-Jean Cunat |
When the side member was redesigned to be hydroformed, the 2B, type C600, and C1000 stainless steels resulted in a 19.4 percent, 30.2 percent, and 33.8 percent weight reduction, respectively. But a formability study showed that slight design modifications were necessary to fabricate the side member from stainless steel in cold-worked-condition C1000. The test showed that the gauges could be reduced without sacrificing crash performance.
The side member's maximum weight reduction can be achieved only with a redesign that takes advantage of stainless steel's formability capacity using hydroforming, the report concluded. Another advantage hydroforming offers is that the number of parts needed to form the side member can be reduced from four to one, eliminating the need to weld them. Because flanges are no longer needed, the closed beam cross section can be enlarged, and the profile can be designed straighter, the report stated.
A formability study showed that the new side member design could not be hydroformed with carbon steel. A simulation with the reverse method was done to determine if the new member design could be hydroformed from other high-strength carbon steels. The study showed the hydroformed design cannot be manufactured with high-strength carbon steel; therefore, stainless steel is required to achieve the weight savings for the side member.
In addition, hydroforming the side member offered improved crash performance. The bent shape of the side member constructed of carbon steel promotes buckling instead of crushing in frontal crashes, and this was confirmed in a crash simulation. In safety tests, crushing showed better results than buckling.

Wine, New Jersey, and Airplanes updated: Dec 15, 2012, 11:00 AM
By Marc Liberts
December 12, 2012
I was finally able to parlay my wine knowledge into a free trip last weekend. My cousins who live in New Jersey invited me to host a wine tasting at their Christmas party. The best part was they also paid for my travel expenses. My cousin got a very good deal - $292 round-trip from Santa Barbara to Philadelphia on US Airways.
I always fly United Airlines and for better or worse, have gotten used to them over the years. My cousin bought me tickets on US Airways, so I figured this would be a good opportunity to compare my normal airline with something new. First, US Air has service from Santa Barbara to just about anywhere in the United States and some international destinations, with service usually connecting through Phoenix. I flew an on time CRJ-700 plane from Santa Barbara to Phoenix on the first leg of my journey to New Jersey. I found it to be small, cramped, and generally uncomfortable. In US Air's defense, I'm not a big fan of any CRJ plane, including and especially the CRJ-200 which I loathe. I find these regional jets to be small, cramped, lacking leg-room, lacking seat width, and especially lacking overhead storage. The only good thing about these regional jets is the speed. They can fly from Santa Barbara to Phoenix in about 80 - 90 minutes which is impressive. This flight in particular was on time and uneventful.
My cousin had booked me 50 minute lay-overs on both departure and return flights which made me a little nervous. I've learned over the years that booking a 2-3 hour lay-over is usually safe enough to guarantee that you will make most of your flights. In fact, in the last 10 years, I've only missed one connection using my 2-3 hour lay-over rule. In this case, with everything running on time, I was able to get off the plane, get my bag plane-side, and make it to the next gate with a few minutes to spare. It was close but I made it. My flight from Phoenix to New Jersey was on a US Airways Airbus A-321 - one of my least favorite planes along side with Boeing's 737.
I love the A-319, I tolerate the A-320, and I loathe the A-321. All three are the same plane with the 319 being the shortest, the 320 being the middle size, and the 321 being the extended version. I find the 321 to be too long, too lumbering, and holding too many people for its size. The lavatories are too far away and illogically placed for a plane that is this long. I did pay $45.00 for a "Choice" seat near the front of the coach section which was an improvement over what looked like all the other sardines stuffed into the back of the plane. The seat width on these planes is average or better, but that makes the aisle so narrow that you can't walk down it without having to turn yourself one way or the other to avoid bumping into large shouldered people like me. United Airlines' Economy Plus is a huge improvement over this in that for an extra $75.00 each way you can buy 3-5 inches of extra leg-room. On a 5-6 trans-con flight like this, you really and truly will appreciate the ability to use those extra precious few inches to stretch your legs out in front of you and actually be able to use your laptop or table if you have one. The beverage service on this flight was typical. All snacks on this airline on this route cost money, and the food options for $8.00 looked decent enough. I had a soda and that was it. The flight landed in Philadelphia on time.
After a short drive from the Philadelphia International Airport down I-95 and then over the Commodore Barry Bridge, we were in South New Jersey. My function was to host a wine tasting for approximately 70 guests at a Christmas party. I was tempted to try a blind tasting, but I was afraid that 70 wine neophytes from South Jersey might not react well to my brown bags. So, I decided instead to do an open tasting of 6 whites and 6 reds. I told them that I was a wine writer, writing an article about the differences between wine preferences in Southern New Jersey compared to Southern California. For the wine tasting, I located 4 of Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2012 at an on-line wine merchant in New Jersey, purchased them, and had them shipped to my cousin's house before I arrived. I then picked out 8 'average' wines and mixed all 12 together randomly.
In a group of 70 random guests from South New Jersey, it was hard to predict what their wine knowledge would be. I guessed that they probably drank wine, they probably drank wines from Italy, France, and maybe California, and they probably would know and like Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chianti. Was it reasonable to expect them to be able to taste and or smell the differences between one wine and another? I figured that being from New Jersey they could probably differentiate between the aromas of Benzene and Sulfur Dioxide from the oil refineries near the Tacony- Palmyra Bridge in South Jersey and the aroma of vinyl chloride from the Conrail train that recently crashed into a creek near in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
The tasters carefully considered each of the 12 wines and picked their favorite red wine and favorite white wine. The one white wine I obtained from Wine Spectator's top 100 was a sweet Riesling from Austria. I had it last in the 6 wine white-flight, and it was by far the favorite. For the reds, the winner was an every-day Chianti. I think they were drawn to it because of their familiarity with Chianti, and the fact that it may have been the most familiar to them. I didn't think it was the best red, but It was predicable and easy to drink.
WW1: EL GRIGIO, Pinot Grigio, Argentina, 2012 - plump, plush and lively for an inexpensive wine. Has just about everything you would want and expect for this varietal - 89 points.
WW2: KORE, Sauvignon Blanc, Sonoma County, 2011 - Grassy nose with tangy ruby-red grapefruit and green apple on the palate - 88 points.
WW3: DOMAINE ANESTIS BABATZIMOPOULOS, Chardonnay, Macedonial Regional White Wine, 2001 - Pretty floral nose with nice tangerine on the palate with decent minerality and good body - a really pleasant surprise - 90 points.
WW4: HARMAN'S ROAD, 2011 Riesling, Margaret River, Australia - Surprisingly good! Dry with juicy minerality and professional balance - 90 points.
WW5: ROSENBERG DE WETTOLSHEIM, ALSACE, PINOT BLANC 2001 - A little too old but still has nice hazelnuts on the nose and pretty fruit and caramel on the palate - no one liked it at all but it was still worthy of 84 points - too old.
WW6: 2010 SCHLOSS VOLLRADS Riesling Spatlese (Wine Spectator #37 wine of the year) - Delicious, sweet, beautifully balance, nice minerality, great character - 92 points.
RW1: 2010 Stehelin Gigondas (Wine Spectator #34 wine of the year) - Delicious with beautiful red fruit and minerality from the Grenache and a hint of spice and body from the Syrah - 93 points.
RW2: DOMAINE DU MISTRAL, 2011 Cotes-du-Rhone Villages - A bit undisciplined and out of focus - has all the elements but lacks integration - 84 points.
RW3: RODOLFO SADLER, 2011 Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina - Not the best Malbec I've had this month, but not bad. Lacks depth and harmony to be great, but is good enough as it is - 85 points. (2nd most favorite wine of the reds).
RW4: CAN BLAU, Montsant Blau 2009 (Wine Spectator #33 wine of the year) - Interesting wine featuring spice, good balance, and interesting dry fruit. Not fruity but more earthy and spicy - interesting - 90 points.
RW5: PRINCIPE STROZZI, 2010 Chianti, Italy - Nice red fruit with decent minerality and balance - typical pizza and spaghetti wine - 85 points.
RW6: SCHILD ESTATE, 2010 Shiraz, Barossa, Australia (Wine Spectator #30 wine of the year) - A nice Shiraz with big dark fruit, meaty, hearty, light spice and some sweetness - 91 points.
WHITE WINE WINNER: 2010 SCHLOSS VOLLRADS Riesling Spatlese (Wine Spectator #37 wine of the year)
RED WINE WINNER: PRINCIPE STROZZI, 2010 Chianti, Italy.

wow. just wow...
I once rode a Greyhound bus from Gallup, NM, to Tarpon Springs, Fla., and went through three large bottles of Gallo muskatel and a couple cans of Pringles. I sure was glad that bus had a rest room.
The seating on the CRJs that Marc doesn't like is not the problem of the aircraft but of the airline that choses to maximize passenger loads by installing more, and therefore cramped, seating.
I recall flying on the CRJ 200 when it first went into airline use and my frequent traveling companions and I (all professional pilots and crew members) remarking about how comfortable it was with comfortable leather seats and ample leg room. Sadly those days have been overcome by the "sardine option" for seating.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety sucks, they are completely incompetent. They are never where they are supposed to be. Most of the officers on campus are old and find problems where there are none.. But are never there when there are real problems going on. Good thing there is never really anything threatening going on.
Bang for the buck You absolutely do not get what you pay for at Shaw. But being that it's an HBCU the culture is rich and the history of the university provides an experience unlike any other. Greek life and all is very interesting and people will always complain about Shaw but at the end of the day the experience is priceless.
What to do for fun For fun there's often events and functions on campus. Most of the time hardly anybody goes because they're uninterested. You can expect for people to always say it's boring. The boys play basketball a lot, girls watch. Shaw hardly ever has any parties on campus. But the club scene is popular. Every Thursday different clubs have parties that are promoted on campus and they send a shuttle bus to take you to an from. Often times there are kids from a lot of different schools. Clubs are fun, but it gets repetitive.
Food and Dining The food is disgusting at Shaw. Yes, people eat the food but it is unsatisfactory. The only time that the food is good is on Fried Chicken Wednesdays. The cafe gets really crowded so get there early and get your plates.
Dorm Life The dorms are horrible. Honestly. The relationships you make with people on your hall are cool. But as far as living condition, it sucks. The bathrooms are disgusting and old and it's not like the residents help, they are just as nasty. The rooms are small and if you don't keep your room clean they will fine you. Cleaning staff doesn't come on weekends, and it gets really nasty. As far as visitation goes.. They pick and choose when they want to give it to you. My whole first semester we never had visitation and it sucked. Second semester we got it like 5 times, and its only on Fri & Sat from 7-11. Overall the dorms definitely need to be renovated because they look very old and tired.
Academic Rigor The classes aren't difficult but can be challenging. Be prepared for a good amount of work. Class sizes are great. You can have a one on one relationship with all of your teachers. Most of them actually care, some of them need to be fired. Some help you pass, some don't even show up to class. But for the most part they will help you if you are failing. There are ALOT of second chances at Shaw.
Tips for prospective students Visit the campus before you attend. Shaw has almost no facilities. The gym is small, there's no football field, and the workout room is only for athletes. There's a lot of people at Shaw who aren't there for the right reasons, therefore it's very easy to get distracted. The school isn't dangerous at all. Like any other school it has it's occasional fights, but there's no general violence.
In three sentences Shaw is what you make it. The classes and professors are good. Social life is good but can get dull often.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are always campus police around and the campus does feel really safe.
Greek Life There are sororities and fraternities around but you have to get out there and really make an effort to join. There isn't greek housing so it's kind of up to you to find the people in the sororities for yourself.
Clubs and Activities Like colleges, there are a bunch of clubs you can participate in. You have to get out of your chair and really get on it though.
Bang for the buck I really don't think the school is worth all the money that's being asked of. Considering it's a private school, you would think it would be a little more
What to do for fun It depends on the person but it IS at the heart of downtown. You can easily walk over there to find something fun. If you're looking to go to the mall, you probably need to know someone with a car.
Food and Dining The food is nice but some people disagree. I tend to stick to eating some stuff I brought from home but other than that, If you have a different kind of lifestyle, there are various options when it comes to food. The dining times are pretty appropriate as well.
Dorm Life The dorms could be better. I feel like it's very loud at times so I would keep the studying to the library. I've seen a lot of students who love to party and that's only a small fraction of what college is about. If that's all you want to do because you're legal now, don't go to college.
Academic Rigor The professors are pretty cool and the work is to be expected in high school. At times, I do feel like the work is slightly easier or less challenging but it's not too bad.
Tips for prospective students It's not a bad school but don't just come here because your GPA wasn't the best in high school. College is for students who really want to make the effort to do well. You have to put your best foot forward to maintain a 3.0+.
In three sentences It's an okay school but I honestly haven't seen too many people that are serious about going here. The atmosphere makes me nervous because I feel like hooking up is one of the priorities.

Categories Comments What to do for fun I hang with my teammates when we have free time, but playing sports you normally don't have a lot of free time because you have practice. When your done with practice you be tired and have homework to do. So you mainly would just want to rest on your free day.
Food and Dining Food is good my favorite day is fried chicken wednesdays. The cafe is stepping up more and more each year. Make sure you get your meal cards.
Dorm Life dorms are fine, but I don't like staying in the dorms I prefer off campus. If you stay in the dorms it is best to room with somebody you know if you want the best enjoyment of the dorm. Also if you don't have a friend make sure you room with somebody who has a good personality.
Academic Rigor Shaw is good on academics and also have many degrees you can attempt to get. Shaw also have many places where you can go and get help from tutor's. Teacher's will also stay after and work with students if they need help.
Tips for prospective students Make sure you stay focused and don't get caught up in partying all the time. Also if you need help don't be afraid to talk to your teachers, because you will fall behind if you don't stay on top of your studies.
In three sentences Shaw University is a wonderful HBCU and is very cultural. There is so much you can learn while attending Shaw University. Shaw also have a lot of stars that attended Shaw like Bill Cosby.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Not safe at all.
Greek Life COOL!!!
Great for these types of students HOOD STUDENTS who want to get away from school, attend.
Bang for the buck Overall, the school sucks. Campus life is cool but when you're back into the dorms it is horrible. If you want to be a success do not attend. Students will not have the same goals as you wether short or long term goals. They are all at competition with dressing, they live off of their refund checks, and it is a bad campus.
What to do for fun Get robbed!!!! LOL just kidding, you can go to clubs, on campus events are cool but they get boring considering that the facilities aren't renovated and look horrible. The only nice buildings on campus are the ICS building, The Castle, T.O.S and Estey Hall, other than that, buildings are horrible!!!! Trust me. Feels a lot like boot camp, therefore, I never participate.
Food and Dining The food is ok. (In quotations) A lot of people complain about the food when they clearly deserve it because they do no work. McDonalds is across the street but that gets old, and gets the student more than the freshman fifteen, it gets you the freshman eighty five.
Dorm Life PRISON: Dorm life SUCKS!!!! Worst than any school ever, worst than prison. I kid you not, (unless you're staying in TOS). The rooms are horrible and really cold when it is cold outside and when it gets hot outside, they turn the heater on. This is by far most the worst place you could live. It is a bunch of criminals who are excepted to Shaw easily and do not focus on school at all, what so ever. People are constantly getting mugged (robbed) if they have anything expensive. Guys here are aggressive as well as the girls; Their favorite line is I'm only here because this is the only school that accepted me. This is not the case. The students are fairly immature and PULL THE FIRE ALARM AT 3AM when I have 9 AM classes, therefore, we have to stand outside at 3AM in the cold until the fire department arrives.
Academic Rigor Overall, Shaw University is a great school academically. Academics is well, well, well, I have learned a whole lot this semester and I would love to have my professors next semester, they are willing to help any with situations that may arise. Also, there are a lot of obstacles in your way while you're trying to be a success: haters, campus problems and life problems, which tends to be too much to deal with at once while in college.
Tips for prospective students Shaw University works on a give a student another chance type of model, therefore, they accept anybody, criminals, hoodlums and all. If you worked hard in high school do not go. If you are trying to attend a college because you had poor grades in High School, then go here. You will easily be accepted. When I first met my room mate, he said he was accepted with a 0.67 GPA, how did you even get out of high school?
In three sentences The cool academic wise. Other than that, Shaw is horrible. Horrible, high school like campus. LIBRARY IS TERRIBLE, no A/C, therefore it is HOT and you will not be able to do work there. No internet in your rooms unless you have your own wifi hot spot. So it's basically like fail!!!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Shaw campus is as safe as any other university. Again, being an off campus student, I don't hear of all the safety issues.
Greek Life If I'm not mistaken, Shaw offers 17 different Greek organizations.
Clubs and Activities If Shaw doesn't present the club or activities you would like to join, I'm quite sure that community has what you would be interesting in.
Great for these types of students This community in Raleigh is so diverse for all cultures and different groups.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The are lots of holiday events or different culture events going on all the time in surrounding communities.
Bang for the buck In addition to Shaw, we are surrounded by three of the best universities in the country within a twenty mile radius. University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University and Duke University. If that isn't good enough, there are lots of colleges and universities within a 2 hour driving distance.
What to do for fun From experience.! There are activities going on all the time that students can participate in. Also, we are downtown, so fun stuff to do is always happening.
Food and Dining I'm prior military so I tend to not comment on the food in cafeteria's. There are a variety of choices so each individual have to make the best of the situation.
Dorm Life I'm a off campus non-traditional student and I can't advise students on this matter.
Academic Rigor Classes will be challenging at times but don't ever give up.
Tips for prospective students A good old Historic University that students should have patience at the beginning of their career but they should also expect that things will get better. Enjoy every moment of the college life but never lose focus of the ultimate goal of why you're in college.
In three sentences Being that I'm a non-traditional student. I'm not really engaged in alot of the activities on campus as a regular student would be that lives on campus in the dorms.

UFC on FX 4's main event elicited plenty of reactions from fans and fighters, including UFC welterweight Mike Pyle who was outraged by Clay Guida's "running".
FightLine followed up with "Quicksand" after the bout to hear some of his criticism.
"It was horrible you know. Guida was running a lot and it was very frustrating for me watching as a friend of Gray," Pyle told FightLine.com.
"But you know what, when it's all said and done, Guida ran like a little b**** the whole time. I say that about Guida because he's an excellent fighter and I've never seen him run that much. I expect more out of Guida. And you know what, the judges gave it to Gray and it was deserved."
The judges ruled a split decision as Maynard has able to rally in the final rounds. It was a close fight and many, including Pyle were not sure how the judges would view the strange performance.
"It was frustrating watching him run that much. You know, I thought Gray could have been down on the card. From a distance it looked like Guida might have been scoring a little bit more on the judges scores."
Pyle, on the other hand, has not had to worry about the judges scoring of late as he has picked up two big KO wins with the most recent over Josh Neer. The Xtreme Couture veteran is optimistic about his future.
"My camp's been great in the last two fights which has shown so that should make a statement on its own. And next fight I'm coming to do the same thing. I'm looking to finish fights."

Crisp Potato Skins
These classic potato skins, baked until crisp, are the perfect easy-to-make side.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2008
- 4 medium russet potatoes (about 2 pounds)
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Adjust oven racks to highest and middle positions. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Pierce each potato 8 times with a fork. Place directly on middle oven rack, and bake until tender when pierced with a fork, about 40 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and use a small spoon to scoop out insides, leaving about 1/4-inch shell all around. Reserve insides for salmon cakes with sorrel sauce. Slice each potato shell in half again lengthwise to make 16 wedges, and place them on a baking sheet.
Combine oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and brush on all sides of potato wedges. Bake on highest rack until crisp and edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Season with salt.

Defence In Depth – McAfee Web Gateway + Advanced Threat Defence
Malware attacks continue to increase in both frequency and sophistication. Modern malware authors use new techniques to hide malware and determine if it is running in a virtualized environment in an attempt to slip past even the most sophisticated malware defences. As a result, organizations are at greater risk than ever of being victimized by a breach, with resulting public embarrassment and remediation costs. There are a number of technologies available to protect themselves, including firewall, intrusion prevention, secure web gateway, and end-point protection.
In this session, we'll discuss some of the more advanced techniques that web malware authors are employing and how McAfee Web Gateway and Advanced Threat Defence work together synergistically to address these new, emerging web threats.
Join this webinar on Defence in Depth to:
•Learn details of how a sophisticated attack works
•Examine how modern malware attempts to evade detection
•Learn how McAfee Web Gateway and Advanced Threat Defence work together to provide a coordinated defence that delivers protection without compromising performance.

Next Generation SIEM Usecases
Oct 22 2014
51 mins
Michael Leland, Enterprise Solutions Architect
SIEM solutions have been the go-to technology for compliance and event/log visibility but rarely provide the deep forensics necessary to actually improve the security posture of the enterprise. In a time when we are asked to do more with less (diminishing IT/security budgets, fewer FTE resources, reduced training), the Next-Generation SIEM needs to help bridge that gap, provide deeper analytics that elevates the discussion from Find (identifying security issues) to Fix (remediating threats).
Join the webinar to hear how the McAfee SIEM solutions help the enterprise:
• Address the growing challenge of 'Security Information Overload'
• Provides the necessary Situational Awareness to quickly determine risk
• Quickly operationalize an effective SIEM deployment
• Easily and cost effectively maintain and operate a successful security management solution
• Utilize relevant threat information to identify and prioritize threats
• Leverage active integration with security technologies to perform triage and remediation

Intel Wireless Display Review - No Wires? No Problem.
Bridging the Gap
Back in January, Intel made quite a splash by revealing Wireless Display, or better known by its awkward nickname Wi-Di. This new technology would allow Wi-Di enabled notebooks to broadcast their audio and video signal to a Wi-Di receiver connected to a High-Def display or AV receiver. Intel CEO Paul Otellini promised that Wi-Di was going to be a single button solution that works seamlessly as long as you have both a Wi-Di supported notebook and the Wi-Di adapter connected to a TV.
In an age of HTPC's, media players like the Western Digital WD TV and
the wireless Asus O!Play, and easy interconnects like HDMI, some of you
may already have the "last yard" bridged - bringing your broadband
content to your TV. In this landscape, where does Intel Wi-Di fit in?
Hopefully by the end of this review we will have this question answered.
The Package
The test package we received is a Dell Studio 15z, and a Netgear Push2TV (PTV1000) wireless adapter.
The Dell Studio 15z 1569 is an attractive notebook which can be found at BestBuy.
The Netgear Push2TV adapter looks more like a wireless router than a traditional adapter. On the back, there are standard RCA outputs for video and audio, an HDMI port, and a spot for the power adapter. When plugged in, a status indicator on the front tells you whether the Netgear Push2TV is receiving a signal (green) or not (orange).
The Netgear Push2TV adapter comes bundled with one of three of notebook packages at BestBuy: the Dell Studio 15z, the Sony Vaio S series, and the Toshiba E205. Prices range from $899.99 to $1049.99. But Wireless Display isn't technology exclusive to these three notebooks, you can enable Wireless Display as long as you have the following in your notebook:
- Core i7-620M, i5-540M, i5-520M, i5-430M, i3-350M, i3-330M
- Intel HD Graphics (integrated with the above CPUs)
- Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200, Intel Centrino Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300
If your system matches the above, then all you would need is to buy the Netgear PTV1000 as an aftermarket accessory for $99.99.

When chimney sweep and firefighter Paul Yonekawa first came to Steamboat Springs some 20 years ago he was impressed with the beauty and the people.
"Even sleeping out of my car, people were so pleasant and friendly," he said.
Paul had packed up everything he owned in a small two-door sports car and left the metropolis of Philadelphia. He settled in beautiful Steamboat to further his artistic endeavors.
"I used to paint watercolor," Paul said. "The area was very relaxing and conducive to art."
Like many Steamboat residents, the aspiring artist turned to several different jobs to make a living, eventually becoming a chimney sweep. He admitted it hasn't been much of a living.
"I'm probably considered poverty or low-income," said Paul (a volunteer firefighter, chimney sweep, biathlete, artist, educator and father). "I spend more time giving my time away than making money."
But his friends and colleagues say while Paul hasn't prospered financially, Steamboat has prospered tremendously because of his giving nature.
"It seems to be part of his personality to give of himself to others, as you can see with the fire department and anything else he's involved in," said Bill Gilbert, longtime friend and fellow biathlete. "He ignores the monetary side for the personal satisfaction."
Many residents might not realize what Paul does to keep Steamboat's all-volunteer firefighting crew in fighting condition, nor of his volunteer work within the community.
On this Friday afternoon, the 42-year-old Paul, a former gymnast whose trim body hasn't seemed to age, is going over the station's rope rescue tools.
The former firefighter of the year, public educator of the year (twice) and a leadership winner is doing what he loves best: ensuring the city's fire department is ready to answer the call.
"There's so much to know and the risks are so great," Paul said about the work of firefighters. "That's why it ties me up so much," he said, trying to explain why he's constantly seeking new training or trying to identify new equipment needed.
The fire department's public education coordinator credited Paul with saving the city some much-needed money.
"We've been able to put off hiring full-time firefighters because of Paul," said Jacqui Campell who runs the fire department's public outreach programs.
"He does tool inventory he makes sure things like safety gear are taken care of and organized. The time he puts in is unbelievable."
Paul's specialties include rope rescues and extrication, not to mention the hours he puts into training himself, as well as the public.
"The number of hours he volunteered just for education last year was 85 hours," Campbell said.
Firefighter Michael Arce works closely with Yonkekawa and calls him a perfectionist.
"He's just a hands-on kind of person," Arce said. "He takes a lot of personal time and goes out of his way to make sure we have the proper tools, and comes up with interesting training for the guys."
Some of his friends almost wish Paul wouldn't be so dedicated to the fire department.
"He spends way too much time at the fire department," said Rich Henry, owner of Steamboat Stoveworks which sends Paul chimney sweep jobs. "It's good for the town, but the amount of time he's put into that is mind-boggling."
Henry called Paul "the best chimney sweep in the valley far and away," but said his friend's artwork is what's really impressive.
"That's where his real talent is," Henry said.
Unfortunately for the public, Paul has stepped away from his painting and stained glass work, but has "rechanneled" his artwork into the form of scrimshaw or the carving of bones, horns and ivory; as well as historical craftwork.
"It seems like whenever you're building things with your hands, it's kind of an outlet," Paul said. "I don't consider myself much of an artist anymore, more of a craftsman."
His friend Bill Gilbert begged to differ.
"He's very exacting in a number of the things he's made for prizes for biathlon and for the fire department awards," Gilbert said.
"They're pieces of art."
Gilbert said his historical crafts like quill pens and other items are incredibly accurate.
"He researches what he does; he just doesn't idly create," Gilbert said.
Paul's artistic talents also are spent helping the fire department create puppets for school shows, along with writing scripts.
As for Paul's early paintings and stained glass, most of the art went out of town or to Europe, but his current scrimshaw and craftwork has been given away to local charities to raise money, or given to groups for awards.
One of those groups is the biathlon competition that Paul now organizes every winter during Winter Carnival, a weeklong celebration in February.
The sport involves cross-country skiing and a black powder muzzleloading competition. In one category, competitors have to wear pre-1840s clothing and wooden skis.
Paul inherited the job five years ago from his friend Gilbert who founded the sport.
"I got involved because of my interest in history and craftwork," Paul said.
It's gotten to the point where Paul doesn't compete any more, because he spends so much time organizing the event.
"I do it for fun and it actually helps the Winter Sports Club raise money," Paul said.
It's that dedication to volunteering that has probably kept Paul living in a trailer, rather than a large home in Old Town.
"If I would have put my energy toward making money I could be sitting pretty," Paul said while shaking his head. "You've got to wonder about a guy who's not into making money."
Both Paul and his friends credit his wife for keeping things together.
"Meg deserves a tremendous amount of credit for putting up with Paul," Gilbert said with a laugh.
Paul agreed.
"Truly she's a saint," he said.
But Gilbert said Paul must be doing something right, because his two children, 8-year-old Kenji and 12-year-old Yoshi, turned out "great."
"Another way of looking at someone is by looking at their children," Gilbert said. "Anyone who can have kids as responsible as his, has to have something good about him."
In the meantime, Paul isn't slowing down. In addition to those things above, he'll continue teaching hunter education and wants to extend classes at Colorado Mountain College where he teaches EMT classes.
"I'm trying to start a fire science program," said Paul who envisions the college eventually offering a full degree in firefighting.
As if he hasn't enough to do already.

Henry Constable to God the Father
Pioneer of the sonnet
9 p.m., March 22
Ukulele virtuoso Jake Shimabukuro has reinvented an instrument once considered a novelty, a toy seen at a backyard luau. Playing a wide range of genres, he uses strumming, picking, and fretboard techniques that leave even the best guitarists in awe. What would you be willing to pay to see Eric Clapton, Carlos Montoya, Cat Stevens, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Bella Fleck? For 20 bucks, Shimabukuro interpreted the best of all of those artists (and more), making their diverse music his own by displaying a range of styles that kept each song unique. Standout takes included Zeppelin's "Going to California," the Beatles' "In My Life" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," and Jacko's "Thriller."
Humble, gracious, and witty, Shimabukuro's interaction with the crowd reminded me of John Sebastian or Richie Furay. He thanked the audience for allowing him to follow his passion and turn his childhood hobby into a career.
After the show, Jake greeted each fan as they walked by. He signed CDs, played guest's ukuleles for them, and chatted. No one felt rushed.
When I asked about his practice regimen, he said, "Practice is not work because I love to play. I need to play like I need to eat."
The show sold out that day - we're lucky to have seen Jake at this stage in his career! Here's my review, with photos: http://bit.ly/9ZXe7x

Thyroglobum Antibodies are high01/15/2010 |
I was recently told I had hypothyroidism and was put on Levothyroin 50 MCG.They told me my T3 and T4 are within range (7.8), but the antibodies were 102 and should be under 20.
When I asked what that meant I was told to google it. Well I am still not sure what this means so maybe you could tell me what the high antibodies mean.
Thanks so much.
The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease called "Hasimoto's thyroiditis." This is a disease in which the body's own immune system attacks the thyroid gland and slowly destroys it. Patient's with Hashimoto's thyroiditis typically have positive anti-thyroglobulin and anti-microsomal antibodies.
Thus, I think your antibody level is high because the cause of your hypothyroidism is Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Occasionally people with Hashimoto's thyroiditis can come down with other autoimmune glandular diseases like Addison's disease. Most often, however, the only problem they ever get is hypothyroidism and that, of course, is easily treated with thyroid hormone pills.

WKU Geomorphology students learn about landscape processes in the Ozarks
Date: Thursday, March 28th, 2013 | Return to Archive |
A group of WKU geography and geology students braved snowy weather at the beginning of March to participate in a field trip to the Ozarks, including the Salem Plateau and the St. Francois Mountain area of southeastern Missouri as part of a Spring 2013 course in Geomorphology taught by Dr. Jason Polk.
The trip was co-led by Hoffman Institute staff member Benjamin Miller, a Missouri native who has worked extensively in the Ozarks in cave and karst research projects, including hydrology and cave survey, among other geological endeavors.
The purpose of the trip was to engage students in fieldwork related to fluvial, glacial, climatic and karst geomorphological processes and landforms, along with weathering and tectonic processes. The trip provided them with hands-on experience in studying and understanding these complex landscapes in a region that provides a natural classroom with diverse examples of geomorphology from 1.4 billion years of Earth's history.
Nine undergraduate students participated in the course — Brian Ahlers of Louisville, Adam Aldridge of Bowling Green, Dane Black of Bowling Green, Brystal Dennis of Bowling Green, Brent Eberhard of Brentwood, Tenn., Michelle Foley of Salvisa, Ben Rafferty of Greensburg, Paul Shively of Owensboro and Brandon Thomas of Bowling Green.
The group visited several distinct regions to gain a comparative understanding of various geomorphological processes and landforms. One major theme was visiting the karst region of the Salem Plateau, which formed in sedimentary rocks, to examine fluvial (river) and karst processes. The stops included Missouri's largest spring and several smaller springs, the large losing stream of Logan Creek, and a visit to Onondaga Cave State Park to tour the spectacular evolution of an iconic Missouri cave system. Another stop for a different type of geomorphology included a long hike through the Pickle Springs Natural Area to see arches and canyons that formed in sedimentary sandstone bedrock.
The group's other theme included the igneous geomorphology caused by volcanic and tectonic activity, which included several "shut-ins," or constricted areas, that occur in streams when the harder igneous rock erodes away more slowly than surrounding rocks. The students also visited Taum Sauk Mountain, the highest point in Missouri, to learn about igneous glades and observe lichens, frost wedging and other erosive processes. A favorite stop was Elephant Rocks State Park to observe a large granitic exfoliation dome where elephant-size rocks remain after millions of years of erosion and weathering has rounded them out as they erode along weaknesses in the rock caused by "unloading" when pressure is released through tectonic uplift.
"It is sometimes hard to grasp concepts when you can't physically observe those features," said undergraduate geology student Michelle Foley of Salvisa, "but this trip allowed for the use of concepts taught in the classroom."
Brystal Dennis, an anthropology major from Bowling Green, noted: "The trip to the Ozarks gave me a real-world view of dozens of geomorphologic features and the processes that cause them."
Part of the course emphasis is to understand the linkages between the cause and effect relationships that occur in the landscape, such as feedback systems. Undergraduate Paul Shively of Owensboro said: "We paid close attention to the rates and processes, driving and resisting forces, and the resulting landforms," which are all integral parts of understanding landscape evolution through the study of geomorphology.
"The students were engaged during the entire trip, as the Ozarks offers a rich and diverse natural classroom to teach about a variety of geology, hydrology, and environmental components that are fundamental to geomorphology and exciting to experience in the field," said Dr. Polk.
"For a subject like geomorphology, getting out of the classroom and into the field is necessary truly to appreciate and understand the concepts. At each stop, we also discussed the human aspects of geomorphology in shaping our environment, which produces critical thinking about applied geomorphology in

Not exactly a headline rigged for comedy, but yeah, notable news. I've been following the lack of real information on PC digital downloads for a while, so it's interesting to see an industry body trying to properly address the issue. ELSPA have announced that they will produce "a closed beta chart with Chart-Track, the intention being that once all parties are happy with the process of data collection and the output, a chart will be available through Chart-Track UK." This chart will track UK digital sales from (at least) Ubisoft, THQ, Sega, NCsoft, Mastertronic, Kalypso Media, Midas Interactive and Square Enix. Initially it will just be for PC sales. And here's the interesting bit: "All stakeholders have committed that sales data from third party resellers will be included, allaying fears that data from Steam would be missing from this chart."
There are still some big names missing from that list, of course, but it looks like a good a start.
