Press Release
Iomega and McAfee Collaborate to Offer Enterprise Security on Iomega's Top of the Line StorCenter PX Series Network Storage Products
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Software Plus Iomega PX series Creates a Unique Combination of Leading Threat Protection and Leading Network Storage
Story Highlights
- Industry-leading, enterprise-class endpoint protection enhances Iomega network storage products for SMBs and distributed enterprise
- Iomega is the first SMB network storage vendor to run McAfee VirusScan Enterprise natively on network devices
- Customers of the Iomega PX series network storage products do not require additional servers to gain enterprise class endpoint security from McAfee
Iomega, an EMC® company (NYSE: EMC) and a global leader in data protection, today announced the addition of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise to all Iomega StorCenter PX series network storage products.
The combination of McAfee running natively on the Iomega PX series network storage products represents an industry first: an enterprise-class endpoint protection product running natively on desktop and rackmount network storage products designed specifically for small and medium businesses, remote office/branch office installations, and distributed enterprises.
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux software empowers users of Iomega's PX series with comprehensive threat identification and remediation through McAfee's global network and reach, as well as consistent features (e.g., scanning options) and behavior (e.g. management and reporting) with the rest of McAfee's VirusScan family. Iomega is the only sub-$10K NAS vendor with an enterprise implementation of VSEL. McAfee's VSEL is expected to be included with Iomega StorCenter PX series products beginning in second half of 2012.
Executive quotes:
"The addition of McAfee VirusScan on Iomega PX series network storage products means SMBs and distributed enterprises have a valuable new protection layer against data corruption and virus attacks – a strong point of differentiation compared to other network storage solutions in the marketplace," said Mike Nikzad, Chief Operating Officer, Iomega Corporation. "Users of Iomega's PX series products will experience the seamless integration of McAfee VirusScan, giving them a greater comfort zone in their IT administration and data protection priorities. McAfee VirusScan is a premium feature for our customers as well as a technology innovation and collaboration of industry leading innovators."
"We are thrilled to combine McAfee's expertise in endpoint protection with Iomega's network storage products that already encompass EMC world class storage capabilities," said Candace Worley, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Endpoint Security, McAfee. "This unique product combination enables businesses to deploy network storage at the very edge of their networks, with the McAfee protection capabilities that they've come to trust and depend upon."
Highlights of VSEL running on Iomega StorCenter PX Series Network Storage Products:
- Always-on, on-access scanning—McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux software provides continuous, on-access anti-malware protection against malware and other threats.
- Heuristic scanning—McAfee scanning technology includes heuristic scanning, which uses behavior-based rules to identify and block new variants of malware without needing to download a signature.
- Archive scanning—While other anti-malware products are fooled by viruses hidden within archived files, the McAfee archive scanning function detects and blocks such threats, providing more complete anti-malware protection.
- Automatic updating—By automating the update process, McAfee ensures that the most current updates are always in place. Updates are done behind the scenes.
- Cross-platform protection—McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux software is designed to meet real-world needs, including heterogeneous system environments. The superior anti-malware protection of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for Linux software is effective against various types of Windows malware that try to pass through network storage to attached Windows-based systems.
- Remote administration –Using a browser-based secured interface for configuration management and a dashboard for monitoring and reporting. Does not require any additional server administration.

17 Comments to "Rosamett Podcast ~ Week #12"
Kallie, I live in Rochester, NY and there is no accents like that unless you lived there a long time. It's in western NY. Near Buffalo. We are far away from NYC.
By the way, nice podcast.
Kallie, if I lived in New York I would want an accent like yours. hahaha
You know, I just recently found out about your site. Like real recently, like couple of days ago. And while your site does share a lot of the same information as other top Twilight sites, you guys podcast. And I must say, I really enjoy these podcasts. You two are VERY entertaining, and informative. Keep up the good work!
LOVED LOVED LOVED this week. Been listening for a while but got a bunch of friends to listen to this week cuz i LOVE the theory and I can't wait until i can answer the question of the week!!! you guys rock my socks!
I am not your average teenage girl. Im 15 years old. My grandparents got me Twilight at our fair and I remember it incredibly well because it was the start of my new life. I was very wary about it because their exact words were " the clerk told us its the new Harry Potter." Now I am a Harry Potter fanatic. I am obessed, I am with a lot of things. When someone says a book replaces Harry Potter i am not a happy camper. I didnt start reading Twilight until about a week after I got. (the fair. I breed rabbits) anyhooo. When I did read it I couldnt put it down. Stephenie Meyer has sucked me in full force and lucky for her, I am never coming out. I finished Twilight in 12 hours. When i had gotten enough sleep I read it again. I am an analyzer. I go back with every book ive read. My schools bookfair had New Moon. I was incredibly surprised there was a second book. I finished that in 10 hours. That is when I found Stephenie Meyer.com. I followed her advice and I read it again and got more aquainted with Jacob Black. The night I finished New Moon I made my mom go out and buy Eclipse. When the movie was anounced I was ecstatic. From October 2007 till today I check 5 websites every day with any news of the movie. That is when I found your website. I am addicted to your podcasts. Your insight on the characters makes me wonder more and go back to check again. You have said that if someone has been cast if they would come on the show. Though I am not in the cast ( my mom was none to happy with my idea of flying from rural Ohio to Kalama Washington) I would love, as many others probably too, to come on your show. I think having a teenagers perspective on the book would be interesting. When Edward is with Bella I giggle and I can't breathe because the genius of Stephenie Meyer makes me feel like I am there with them. Right now I have read Eclipse 16 Times! I know its a stretch but there is so much to learn inbetween the lines. So I will leave you until next week when I look forward to your next podcast. Good day!
Heh, Rosamett…that sounds about right! 😀
Great podcast! I think that Kellan is amazing and I forgive you for not telling us ahead of time! LOL! I love you sisters so much! Every time I listen I wish that I was there with you so we could laugh together! Keep up the good work!
I absolutely love the theory of Rosalie saving Bella. It makes complete sense. My personal theory is (though it's a little off subject sorry) is that Jacob will end up losing his cool and ends up hurting Bella -on accident of course- and ends up begging Edward to change her. Though it would be so sad and leave Jacob wanting to run away again it would horribly romantic. I love Jacob but I think he needs to realize that he could be as bad for her as he thinks Edward is! I am completely obsessed with this book it's kinda taking over my life right now! lol I'm a 22 year old mom of four and these books have kinda allowed me a much needed escape from my everyday chore list. 🙂 But ok I just wanted to get that out there and see if anyone else was thinking it. And i'm going to go nuts until August. Is there some kind of support group for this? JK Thanks!
Loved it as always, ladies. It was awesome to hear Kellen's personal answer. I am intrigued about the Rosalie/Bella/scarring idea. But I'll be forever die-hard that Edward is the one that changes Bella. I've loved hearing about Jalice, Rosammett, and look forward to Eslisle. Does this mean our hero/heroin become Belward? 🙂
I really enjoyed this podcast, it was so interesting for me!
And I think I understand Rosalie much more and starting to really like her. And I have the same theory about scars and it makes sense! Seems to me that this can really be in books!
btw Rosamett sounds cool, i love it!
The idea of saving Rosalie is GREAT! It would add so much to Rosalies Character, (as if she needs it :)) But i think that instead of bella becoming a vampire, i think SOMEHOW (not sure how) that Edward should become mortal. That would be amazing, cause i'm terribly in love with Edward, but in a way its too good to be true, so if he had that human factor, it would just be great, (and i want him to get those green eyes back! :)) anyways and i think Jacob should falll in a hole until he imprints, because i'm sick of him and i don't want him to ruin Bella and Edward.
I think that that is a really good theroy. but i wish somehow that when bella becomes a vampire her gift is that she can turn eveyone esle back to a human. then once she is done transformering everone back to a human she can look into a mirror and do it to her self and she can age happly with edward. this also gives rosalie a chance to have the beautiful baby boy she never got the chance to have. (Jacob gets imprinted).
Hey guys, great podcast! I have to agree with Shannon though, I live in Rochester, NY, and there are no accents like that. The only weird accents we have are on our o's and a's, so you never really hear it unless you say, "Rochester accent." Ironic, huh?
I doubt you guys view comments on podcasts this old.. but I just wanted to say that I thought that it would have been cool if your theory about Rosalie did happen in Breaking Dawn.. theoretically it could still play out in a later book about the Cullens, like in Renesmee's story.. I think it would be fascinating to see Rosalie's beauty be compromised – perhaps it would make her more humble or kind to others.. then again, it could make her more hostile, its hard to tell with her! One thing for sure, Emmett would love her no matter what she looked like : )
ok, Twilight just became a movie, well, it has been a movie, but it just came out in theaters like last week, and I've already gone to see it 2 times. I LOVE IT!
Now about Rosalie and Emmett… maybe they will "adopt" like Esme and Carlisle did. But that probably wouldn't be the same for Rosalie as having her own child, but who knows, I don't think Stephenie Meyers has told us enough about Rosalie, or Emmett for that matter, for us to make that decision.
I love your website! Lots of my friends think that I look like Rosalie.

Off the Air With Jeremy: Mamaw Is a Blessing
Jeremy Robinson is the host of Taste of Country Nights, a syndicated radio show that airs on 41 stations across the United States on weeknights. Radio has been his life since the age of nine, when he "hosted" a show out of his bedroom. After almost 16 years on the air, country music isn't just his job — it's also his passion.
This is my 96-year-old Mamaw. It's hard to believe that mom's mom's mom is still alive and well!
We had a family get-together yesterday, the kind where after church everyone gets together and comes over to my grandmother's for her good cooking. My grandmother always makes sure Mamaw is present and taken care of at all family functions. It always makes me sad to hear her say, "I'm sorry to be so much trouble." We always remind her that she is nothing but a joy to us all -- and she is. I love to talk with her and watch her, and I especially love the one-on-one time we spend together when I pick her up and take her for ice cream.
When I told my Mamaw she was going to be in my new blog, she was excited. She wanted to make sure we all understand that she is still living a good, healthy life because of her work ethic. "I've done a lot of hard work in my life," she told me.
I ended my call to her just a few minutes ago by saying, "I'll stop by soon ... I love you so much." She said, "I'll be seeing you. I love you, too." Ever felt so blessed you could just cry? Yeah -- I guess as I type these last words in today's blog I'm feeling very blessed! I need a tissue ...
I love you, Mamaw!

Saving our Tuna
16 Jul 2014 by Cherie Hart
I'll never look at a tuna sandwich the same way again. A UNDP film project this past year has opened my eyes to the challenges of managing tuna. I never thought about the fact that half of the world's tuna comes from the West and Central Pacific, and with them, a way of life for so many Pacific Islanders.
I didn't know, for instance, that the overall catch rate in the past ten years for Pacific tuna has more than doubled. I also didn't know there are so many kinds of tuna. I thought tuna was tuna; it came in a can in either brine or oil.
I learned that the industry is vast, varied and vital. While Skipjack tuna are still abundant, the prized Bluefin, found largely in the Atlantic and East Pacific, is already over-fished. The Big-eye and Yellow-fin are considered to be harvested close to their maximum yield.
Fisheries in general account for roughly 80 percent of the exports and five percent of wage paying jobs for half of the 14 Pacific Island countries.
The tuna industry is using new and innovative technologies to increase their ability to catch fish. Various floating "fish aggregating devices" attract fish in larger quantities. In turn, national and international agencies and governments in the Pacific and elsewhere are working together to beef up the technology and other means of monitoring the fish catches.
We all want a viable and sustainable catch, not only for today, but for generations to come. In order to achieve that, we can't just get better at catching tuna. We also need to be smarter about sustainability.
UNDP, with a host of governments, NGOs and such partners as the Global Environment Facility, the Secretariat of Pacific Community and the Forum Fisheries Agency have supported the management of tuna and other ocean resources in the Pacific for decades. One milestone convention promotes the long-term sustainability of the tuna catch: "Convention for the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks".
The UNDP/Discovery Asia documentary, Saving our Tuna, points to a few of the means that are used to keep the catch in check. The aim of the film, which recently aired on Discovery Channel in Asia, is to raise awareness about the complex issues related to sustainability in our oceans.
I'm not saying, stop eating tuna sandwiches. I now know how important tuna is as an industry and a way of life for so many. I'm saying, we can all learn more about what sustainability means for our shared ocean resources.
Check out the 5-minute version of Saving our Tuna. It includes interviews with UNDP's Oceans expert, Andy Hudson. Guidance was provided by UNDP Water and Oceans Technical Advisor, Jose Padilla. It was produced by the UNDP Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific, and filmed by Arrowhead Films:

text: Richard Cronin, Romantic Victorians: English Literature, 1824–1840 Submitted by rc-admin on Sat, 12/20/2003 - 04:11 Richard Cronin, Romantic Victorians: English Literature, 1824-1840. New York: Palgrave, 2002. vii + 296pp. $69.95 (Hdbk; ISBN: 0-333-96616-3). Reviewed by Cynthia Lawford Independent Scholar Though the subtitle of Richard Cronin's latest book is English Literature, 1824-1840, a skim of the table of contents should alert those who hope it will give them a strong sense of the distinctiveness of the period's literature. Of the eighteen names listed under eight chapter headings, Tennyson's name occurs four times, as his work is given detailed treatment in four chapters. Browning, Carlyle, and Mary Shelley each receive discussion in two different chapters, and a decent amount of space is accorded to Coleridge, Shelley, Byron, Barrett Browning, and Macaulay. Add to that lot Caroline Lamb, whose Glenarvon (1816) alone wins her attention, and precious few names are left who have not long been considered as unmistakably Victorian or Romantic, indeed, precious few whose writings have not been considered essential to our understanding of what those two terms mean for English literary history. Those few are Benjamin Disraeli, Edward Bulwer Lytton, Letitia Landon, Felicia Hemans, George Darley, Thomas Lovell Beddoes, John Clare, and Catherine Gore. Among those, Disraeli alone is seen to deserve space in two chapters, as he wrote a novel using Byron and Shelley as characters.

The history of Moroccan Aerospace industry dates back to the 1950's with expertise being developed in the feld of aircraft maintenance for civil and military aviation. In 1951, today Airbus created Maroc Aviation subsidiary, operating at this time in the military business with Morocco, and became in 1993 a Sogerma plant developing new activities in the manufacturing of seats, harnesses and metallic assembly of parts. The creation of Royal Air Maroc in 1957, considered today among the major regional airline companies in Africa, has fostered the trend of developing MRO capabilities for its own feet.

A mother grows up
My mouth tries loud words to make you hear,
my face betrays feelings that tear me up,
my eyes are too easy to overflow.
One moment we're laughing
and you're playfully nudging me, wanting a hug.
You've even reached for my hand in the parking lot.
And then, the cloud comes,
you scowl and roll your eyes.
You don't say it but you can't stand me.
So I hold on to a time when I was just right.
You were small and my lap was the place you looked for.
Your curly head fit under my chin
and I imagined what it would be like when you got taller.
Now, we can look straight into each other's faces
but not see eye-to-eye.
This is to be expected, they say.
I'll get through this phase -
just as long as you come back to me.
(Artwork by Bolivian painter Roberto Mamani Mamani)

Es una etapa muy dificil, yo todavia no llego ahi pero ya esta a la vuelta de la esquina, el tiempo corre muy deprisa....

I liked this. Motherhood is tough. My oldest is 2 years and the youngest is 7 months. I already see now that the oldest is starting to detach from me and I dread to see this continue. But I know I need to promote it, support it, help him. One never does it right and we are mad at our parents for whatever we think they did wrong too. It's a normal process and as long as you keep telling yourself that it'll be alright.....

Teams don't get to be 4-9 by accident.
And the reasons the Titans got to be that way were evident, and self-inflicted yesterday.
While it wasn't the reason they lost to the Colts, the most ridiculous play of the day was a Jake Locker quarterback sneak on first down, because the Titans still thought it was third-and-short.
"The way we do that is designed to happen quickly so the defense is caught off guard," left tackle Michael Roos said, via David Climer of the Tennesseean. "We were already getting lined up and nobody looked up to see that it was a first down.
"It was a wasted down. That's our season right there. We need to create as many breaks as we can and we could've used that first down for a better play, but that's just the way it happened."
Of course, there were other such bad calls, such as Locker's pick-six from deep in his own territory, when he should have called a sneak.
"It was just one that I shouldn't have thrown," Locker said.
"That's my fault. I should've just had him sneak it and not give him the option," coach Mike Munchak said. "… In some crucial situations, it's on us to maybe limit the decision making to help a young quarterback along."
Young quarterback isn't a valid excuse anymore. The rookie on the other side yesterday (Andrew Luck) has led his team to a seven-game improvement already, with a negligible difference in talent.

Given the relentless pace of 'Top Chef: Just Desserts,' no one could blame the contestants if they wanted to unwind with a drink.

The three contestants got so hammered that some uncomfortable truths came out and Carlos admitted that he's thought about punching head judge Johnny Iuzzini in the face. Orlando seconded the notion. Jeez. Tell us how you really feel guys.

Lots of cities put on fireworks shows. But how many host a three-night, international competition every summer featuring pyrotechnic all-stars from around the globe?
The Honda Celebration of Light returns to Vancouver July 27, July 31 and Aug. 3. This year, teams from the United Kingdom, Canada and Thailand will light up the sky over downtown's English Bay beach. Each squad has 30 minutes to impress the judges with the most eye-popping pyrotechnics, all tightly choreographed to a matching soundtrack.
An estimated 400,000 people descend on downtown Vancouver for each night of the competition, turning the parks and beaches along English Bay into one of the biggest parties of the summer. Live music from some of the city's hottest bands sets the stage. Food trucks offer up a smorgasbord of street eats. There's even a Red Bull airshow overhead on July 31 and Aug. 3.
And after sunset, the real show gets underway. Starting at 10 p.m. sharp, thousands of shells and rockets launched from a special barge anchored in English Bay turn the night sky into a glittering canvas of golds, pinks, blues and greens. The show can be seen from throughout downtown's West End, as well as from Kitsilano and parts of North and West Vancouver.
For those of you thinking of steering clear of downtown Vancouver on celebration nights because of the late-night shows and commute, think again! Tourism Vancouver is offering a fantastic stay package that includes your choice of hotel, preferred bleacher seating to the celebration night of your choice and a complimentary $50 American Express gift card (while supplies last).

|_MG_8184 by mkerkstra on Flickr.
Posted here with permission.
There are some amazing photographers that wander the halls of HMNS, and when we're lucky, they share what they capture in our HMNS Flickr pool. Each month, we share one of these photos here on the blog.
This month, we have a reminder that the time of ridiculously chilly weather is almost past us this year, from Michelle Kerkstra, mkerkstra on Flickr. I'm always particularly impressed by the gorgeous butterfly shots that show up in the Flickr pool, as these stunning insects are also notoriously twitchy.
From the photographer:
Butterflies have always been a favorite subject of mine ever since I visited my first butterfly garden in Mackinac Island, MI with my grandparents when I was a little girl. Butterflies are perfect subjects to photograph, especially in an enclosed setting such as the Cockrell Butterfly Center, because you have the unique opportunity to see hundreds of unique subjects up close each with their own splendid color patterns!
This shot in particular was a wonderful surprise as it caught the profile of the butterfly perfectly and the background cast a wonderful halo effect around the wings.
For advanced photographers looking to shoot butterflies, I recommend using a macro telephoto lens at a substantial focal length (I took this photo using a 70-300mm) for more working room and using a tripod.
PS. Michelle has an entire set of lovely butterfly photos – check 'em out!
Inspired? Most of the Museum's permanent galleries are open for photography, and we'd love for you to share your shots with us on Flickr, Facebook or Twitter. Check out the HMNS photo policy for guidelines.
Visit our Cockrell Butterfly Center to see – and photograph – these stunning insects for yourself!

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The outskirts of Sacramento have been home to the Yale heavyweight crew team this week as the Bulldogs prepare to race at the 111th IRA National Championships. The Bulldogs are racing a varsity eight, second varsity eight and a varsity four. Racing will take place from May 31 to June 2 on Lake Natoma in Folsom, Calif.
"The whole squad is extremely excited to be racing on Lake Natoma, which is a truly beautiful course," said captain Jon Morgan. "With the regatta being in California this year there are a lot of entries in each category, and everyone is looking forward to some solid racing over the next few days."
At the Eastern Sprints two weeks ago the Bulldogs had one of their best finishes in recent memory, with Yale's varsity eight taking fifth in the grand final. The second varsity eight finished second in the petite final for eighth place overall, and the third varsity eight finished third in the petite final for ninth place overall. The Bulldogs showed considerable speed in the varsity eight and will look to build on this at the IRA. The second varsity eight had two promising races at the Sprints and will look to carry that over as well, and the third varsity eight will take four rowers from its lineup to form a varsity four that will go up against more than 20 teams from across the country.
Racing will begin Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. PDT with the varsity eight heats, and the Bulldogs will get underway at 8:30 a.m. in the third of four heats. The Bulldogs are in lane four against Drexel (lane one), BU (lane two), Washington (lane three) and Dartmouth (lane four). With 23 teams entered in the varsity eight category, the top two crews in each heat with advance directly to the semifinals on Saturday, the rest will race in one of four repechages Friday afternoon where the top two go to the A/B semifinals.
Yale's next race is at 9:15 a.m. PDT with the second of four heats in the second varsity eight category. Here the Bulldogs will race in lane two against UCSD (lane one), Brown (lane three), Wisconsin (lane four) and Holy Cross (lane five). With 19 teams entered in the second varsity eight, the top two will advance to the semifinals, the rest to the reps.
The last race of the morning for Yale will be the varsity four heat at 11:00 a.m. PDT. Yale is back in lane four in the second of four heats, going up against Jacksonville (lane one), Northeastern (lane two), Cornell (lane three) and Drexel (lane five). 22 teams have a varsity four entered, so again the top two boats in each heat will go to the semifinals, the rest to the reps.
Friday afternoon's repechages will begin at 2:00 p.m. PDT with the varsity eights, followed by the second varsity eight reps at 3:00 p.m. and finally the varsity four reps at 3:36 p.m.
Semifinals will take place on Saturday in the late morning and early afternoon. Finals will take place Sunday morning, culminating in the varsity eight grand final at 12:20 p.m. PDT on Sunday.
Live streaming of the racing will be available beginning at 7:30 a.m. PDT (10:30 a.m. EDT). The video link is available here.

Information About Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE)
"Clinical Pastoral Education is interfaith professional education for ministry. It brings theological students and ministers of all faiths (pastors, priests, rabbis, imams and others) into supervised encounter with persons in crisis [typically in a hospital]. Out of an intense involvement with persons in need, and the feedback from peers and teachers, students develop new awareness of themselves as persons and of the needs of those to whom they minister. From theological reflection on specific human situations, they gain a new understanding of ministry. Within the interdisciplinary team process of helping persons, they develop skills in interpersonal and interprofessional relationships." (http://www.acpe.edu/faq.htm#faq1)
Students interested in CPE should visit this website: www.acpe.edu.
- Prerequisite for almost any career containing "Chaplain" in its title.
- Involves a high level of self-reflection and self-awareness.
- Steep learning curve.
Possible Weaknesses:
- Interfaith nature of CPE may be frustrating for those without a solid foundation, or those uncomfortable in interfaith settings.
- Requires significant time commitment.
Keep In Mind:
- In general, CPE will discourage student-chaplains from evangelizing.
- Intern's individual supervisor's faith, denomination, personality, etc., will be significant factors in determining the nature of the CPE experience.

A Truth Journal: GOP and Rubio 2016: Women Should Suck It Up And Enjoy Results of Rape And Incest?: From Denny: Does any one in this country actually promote or like abortion? No. Even as a liberal I agree with my Republican voting friends that abortion is disgusting and disrespectful of humanity. But the way the Republican Party screams about the abortion issue does not solve the problem and has not solved the problem in over 40 years. Obviously, the Republicans do not know how to lead the country - just stir up passions in cultural scream-offs just to win yet another election. After the elections all the politicians sit on their hands doing nothing until the next election cycle of what will be broken promises.
Planned Parenthood has some serious problems with those insensitive doctors caught on video discussing the marketing of fetal body parts. Of course, the calculating GOP strategists are promoting that video to rally the cause to defund Planned Parenthood - that also happens to do a lot of good for women's health issues in other areas like cancer testing. Defunding Planned Parenthood is not the solution that will change the need for abortions.
The real questions every voter should be asking about that Planned Parenthood video is who the hell are these medical science creeps that are demanding said fetal parts be given for free or sold to them for their research and development of who knows what? How pervvy can you get? What exactly are they doing with that fetal tissue? Why is there a "market" for fetal tissue, hearts and lungs in the first place? Does this situation have anything to do with a severe shortage of donor organs in China with wealthy Chinese willing to pay any price to procure those organs?...

- Current Population Survey (CPS)
- Description: Current Population Survey (CPS) is a monthly survey of about 50,000 households conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The survey has been conducted for more than 50 years. Demographic and voter registration and turnout data is available. This is a survey not a census, so the numbers are weighted to represent the entire population. The November Supplement contains the voter registration data, one can also get basic demographic and socioeconomic data from it as well.
- Geography: Nation, Division, Region, State, [these geographies are available in the microdata only - Metropolitan Areas, some cities]; only for the 50 states and the District of Columbia; does not include Puerto Rico.=
- Time period: Collected biannually during presidential and congressional elections. November Supplement links voter information with demographic information collected.
- Variables: Employment, unemployment, earnings, hours of work, and other indicators. They are available by a variety of demographic characteristics including age, sex, race, marital status, and educational attainment. They are also available by occupation, industry, and class of worker. Supplemental questions to produce estimates on a variety of topics including school enrollment, income, previous work experience, health, employee benefits, and work schedules are also often added to the regular CPS questionnaire.
- Units of analysis: Population represented is the civilian population living in the United States; people in the military, living abroad and in institutions are not included in the CPS.

North Dakota is the only state in the nation without some form of voter registration. It was one of the first states to adopt voter registration and it was the first state to abolish it in 1951. North Dakota's system of voting and lack of voter registration is rooted in its rural character, illustrated by numerous small precincts, where local election boards know most of the voters who enter the polls to vote on Election Day and may detect those who should not be voting in the precinct. Because of North Dakota's unique election system, which does not require voters to register, the state is exempt from the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, along with several provisions of the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), including but not limited to: 1. The implementation of a centralized voter registration system; 2. The implementation of certain provisional voting requirements; and 3. The voter identification requirements.
Registration Forms (the questionnaire)
There are numerous organizations with an online presence that want to help people get registered. A person can obtain forms from their Secretary of State's Election Office or equivalent; County Clerk Recorder, City Clerk's Office, th
Election Assistance Commission Established as an independent nonpartisan agency by the Help America Vote Act of 2000, EAC's primary purpose is to develop guidance to meet HAVA requirements, adopt voluntary voting system guidelines, and serve as a national clearinghouse of information about election administration. EAC also accredits testing laboratories and certifies voting systems, as well as audits the use of HAVA funds. They also maintain the official national mail voter registration form.

A Unit Proposal that would put 25,000 acres between Keene and Mandaree under the operatorship of one lease and one company, is on its way to the North Dakota Industrial Commission.
This Proposal of Unitization, while not the first of its kind in McKenzie County, is the first for the Bakken and Three Forks formations in McKenzie County. And it is the largest proposal ever for McKenzie County.
According to Lynn Helms, director of Mineral Resources for the North Dakota Industrial Commission, though the application for the proposal has not yet been received, a public hearing on the proposal has already been scheduled to take place in Grand Forks on Nov. 13.
"Legally, the documents must be available for study 45 days prior to the hearing," states Helms. "Therefore, the hearing may need to be rescheduled if the company waits too much longer to file their application."
The Proposal for Unitization is for Grant Field, which is an area of about 25,000 acres southeast of Keene and along the western boundary of the Fort Berthold Reservation. If the proposal is approved, the entire area, roughly 40 square miles, would come under one lease and QEP would be the leaseholder.
"The Proposal for Unitization will take hundreds or thousands of individual leases and put them under one operator and one formula for payment, so that everyone benefits," states Helms. "To put it in simple terms, this is a good thing for everyone involved. If it is done right, everyone gets their fair share, more oil is produced and less surface is impacted."
According to Helms, the proposal will allow more wells to be drilled in the setback areas between leases and spacing units, which according to some studies, could contain roughly one million barrels of recoverable oil.
Additionally, because the area will fall under one operator, it will allow for the injection of things like carbon monoxide so that the overall recovery of oil in this area will increase substantially.
Because the area will fall under one operator, QEP can use fewer pads, treating facilities and less tank batteries, thus allowing them to be more efficient and leave a smaller surface imprint.
According to Helms, QEP is responsible to make sure everything has been done right to estimate the increased oil productivity, and to make sure all parties do get their fair share. Then, once that has been done, the Industrial Commission will carefully review the proposal.
All non-QEP operators in the Grail Field will be compensated for their wells, tank batteries, and any investments they have made, if the proposal is approved and QEP becomes the one and only lease owner.
Helms states that putting together a unit proposal is lengthy and expensive, which is why it is not often done.
"In just this case, 4,000 to 5,000 mineral owners all have to receive copies of the proposal and 60 percent of them have to agree to approve it," states Helms. "It is a really expensive process and not easily gone through."
Helms expects to have the unit proposal application to the Department of Mineral Resources in enough time to meet the legal 45-day pre-filing requirement.
In addition, he says that it is quite common for a decision on big units, like this proposal, to take 60 to 90 days for approval. That being the case, Helms expects it will not take effect until the first part of 2014.

In this work, we present two fundamental primitives for network security: network dialog minimization and network dialog diffing. Network dialog minimization (NDM) simplifies an original dialog with respect to a goal, so that the minimized dialog when replayed still achieves the goal, but requires minimal network communication, achieving significant time and bandwidth savings. We present network delta debugging, the first technique to solve NDM. Network dialog diffing compares two dialogs, aligns them, and identifies their common and different parts. We propose a novel dialog diffing technique that aligns two dialogs by finding a mapping that maximizes similarity.
We have applied our techniques to 5 applications. We apply our dialog minimization approach for: building drive-by download milkers for 9 exploit kits, integrating them in a infrastructure that has collected over 14,000 malware samples running from a single machine; efficiently measuring the percentage of popular sites that allow cookie replay, finding that 31% do not destroy the server-side state when a user logs out and that 17% provide cookies that live over a month; simplifying a cumbersome user interface, saving our institution 3 hours of time per year and employee; and finding a new vulnerability in a SIP server. We apply our dialog diffing approach for clustering benign (F-Measure = 100%) and malicious (F-Measure = 87.6%) dialogs.

2012 District 12 champion Kenmare Honkers
By Caroline Downs
"At the beginning of this year, we were ranked sixth [in the district]," KHS head coach Tim Wallstrum said. "We're just so small. But to be able to come out and win the district championship is a lot of fun!"
The fun came October 30th in the District 12 championship match played at KHS when the No. 2-seeded Honkers defended their home court to upset No. 1-seeded Our Redeemer's Christian School and earn an eighth consecutive District 12 title before a roaring hometown crowd.
"We felt like [the tournament win] was our job," said KHS senior libero Morgan Goettle.
"We didn't want them to beat us," added senior setter Lexie Munson. "We've been the district champs for seven years, and we didn't want to be the team that let that down."
The Honkers defeated the Knights early in the season, but lost twice to the squad since then, including the regular season match that gave ORCS the top seed in the District 12 tournament.
In the tournament title match, however, everything came together for Kenmare. "We were connecting," Goettle explained.
"And we didn't make errors," Munson said.
In fact, the first game started with both teams rolling through their offensive plays and the crowd cheering enthusiastically from every corner of the gym. The two sides traded points, with the Knights' power hitters Ashley Koppinger and Emily VanLith finding their mark. However, the Honkers' block stopped enough of those kills to give Kenmare a 13-10 lead that built to a 19-10 margin on points including a Chelsea Nelson ace, a Beca Wallstrum block and a Shelby Hass hit.
The Knights were taken out of their game and made uncharacteristic mistakes, which only returned the serve to Kenmare for another point by Hass. The Lions scored twice more, but Kenmare's advantage and motivation were too strong. Wallstrum blocked a Billie Bangen kill attempt, followed a Katie Nelson hit for game point and another Wallstrum kill for the 25-12 win.
ORCS took the court with a different attitude in the second game, but the Honkers refused to give any ground. The Knights earned the first point, only to watch Kenmare score four points on a Hass kill, a Katie Nelson ace and two ORCS errors. Then the Knights made a run with four points to take a 6-5 lead, including a Koppinger kill and a series of missed passes by the Kenmare squad.
The two sides added to their totals point by point, tying the score five times until Kenmare pushed ahead 17-15 on another Katie Nelson ace and Hass hit. The Knights answered with two hits by Koppinger, a Morgan Olson kill and a Koppinger block. Hass interrupted that string with a kill, but Koppinger matched her on the next play, then VanLith blocked a Hass hit, only to watch Hass power down her next attempt.
Kenmare edged ahead 22-21 on two Wallstrum blocks to a wildly cheering crowd, but Makayla Gartner tied the score again on a hit off Hass. The Knights moved ahead 23-22 as the Honkers missed a setting attempt, but Hass came through on the next play with a kill, followed by an ace as she rotated to the serving line.
The Honkers' only missed serve of the night came as Hass sent her second serve out of bounds. The Knights took the ball at the crucial 24-24 point, but the Honkers stayed calm and set up their offense with Katie Nelson ready to score twice from the outside for the 26-24 win.
The Honkers' level of play was energized by the pair of wins as they started the third game and took a 7-2 lead on a McKinzie Jensen block and kill followed by back-to-back points from Hass. The teams continued their battle with long volleys, with the Honkers digging up Koppinger's and VanLith's hits as Kenmare maintained a slight margin through the entire set.
Points came from all corners of the Honkers' court, including a block and kill from Wallstrum and ace from Justice Brown. ORCS pulled within three points at 20-17 on back-to-back points from Koppinger, and then tied the score at 22 as Wallstrum missed a hit and Hass was blocked, but Kenmare stayed focused and reclaimed the serve when Olson's attempt fell short.
With the district title on the line and Hass firing from the left side of the court, the Knights' attack faltered as Koppinger sent her hit out-of-bounds. Kenmare's momentum for game point shifted into overdrive as the Honkers' crowd rose to their feet, and Munson saw the opportunity to tip the ball into a hole on the ORCS court for the 25-22 victory.
Honkers don't
want to be done
"They were fired up," KHS head coach Tim Wallstrum said about the Honkers. "Every one of my girls played so hard tonight, and they didn't back down."
The Honkers have faced the Knights in most of the past eight district championship matches, and the competition is always fierce. "We have a tendency to start slow, for whatever reason," said Wallstrum, "but in this match we knew we would have to get out and put a little pressure on them right away."
He noted Kenmare matches up in size better with ORCS than with most other teams in District 12. "We play a little more relaxed against them," he said, "but they've got such a dynamic player in Ashley Koppinger, so we also talked about slowing her down."
Fans may have noticed a shift in the Honkers' offense from earlier in the season, with Munson handling nearly all the setting duties again and Katie Nelson playing from the outside rather than middle. "Since we've changed the offense, we're making fewer errors," Wallstrum said, "and every single girl tonight played very, very well."
The two teams met in three earlier matches, with Kenmare winning one of those and ORCS taking two. "We've played 10 sets against them this season, with a total of 15 points difference," Wallstrum said. "We averaged 1.5 points difference per set, so we knew we had just as good a shot at winning as they did."
He admitted the players' intensity level in the district tournament and the outcome did not surprise him. "They know the tradition," he said. "They love to play, and they don't want to be done!"
The team's seniors said they always enjoy the fast-paced matches against ORCS. "It's fun to play teams like them," said Hass, "and our crowd was awesome."
"We get more pumped up," Munson added.
Hass looked at Goettle and Munson. "I just thought about this now," she told them, "but this is our last game on our own home court. We wanted to win it!"
Partial stats for the match included Hass and Katie Nelson with 11 kills apiece.
At the net, Wallstrum made three key blocks.
Brown scored 2 points on aces.
Munson set up her teammates 25 times.
In the back row, Katie Nelson made 10 digs and Goettle logged 8.
District 12 honors
Munson and Hass were named to the 2012 All-District 12 Team for the Kenmare squad. They were joined by Ashley Koppinger, Morgan Olson and Emily VanLith of Our Redeemer's Christian School; Whitney Lee of Lewis & Clark; Callie Carlson of Mohall Lansford Sherwood; Payton Schumann of Glenburn; Shanta Zietz of DLB; and Quinn Harmon, Hannah Stewart and Gabbie Bohl of Bishop Ryan.
The District 12 tournament finished with two other upsets as No. 4 Bishop Ryan ended No. 3 Lewis & Clark's season 3-0, and No. 6 Glenburn surprised No. 5 MLS 3-2. Both contests were regional qualifier matches.
Kenmare started Region 6 play Monday against Towner-Granville-Upham, with Bishop Ryan taking on Bottineau, Glenburn playing Velva and Our Redeemer's facing Rugby. Semi-finals matches were played Tuesday night, with results unavailable at press time.
