2(b). The Customer must make a payment of twelve pounds sterling per year, inclusive of VAT, to the Registration Agents by debit or credit card (hereinafter referred to as the "initial subscription"). If subscribing for more than one year, the Customer must prepay for each year of the duration period (currently for a maximum of two years). As a precaution against Internet Card fraud, all on-line Credit and Debit Card payments will be held on trust for a period of 90 days prior to the Registration Agents being entitled to receive them.
2(c). The Customer will have the option (by accessing their Administration Controls) to extend the duration period, upon its expiry, for a further one year (the minimum period) or another two years (the current maximum period) by requesting to renew their use of the Personal Domain Service and making a further payment (hereinafter referred to as the "renewal subscription") at the rate in force at the time the renewal subscription is paid and the duration period will be extended accordingly.
2(d). The Customer can subscribe for additional bandwidth or server space or both, (hereinafter referred to as the "supplementary subscription"), at the rates set out in item 8(a) and item 9(c) of this Agreement and if the Customer has paid for the initial or renewal subscription in advance to guarantee their future subscription costs, in accordance with item 2(a), then they must ALSO prepay their supplementary subscriptions for the residual term of the duration period. The Customer's renewal subscription will increase to include the cost of the supplementary subscriptions.
2(e). The Customer agrees that they will ONLY be entitled to a refund of any subscriptions paid in advance in the unlikely event of the Registration Agents discontinuing the Personal Domain Service and for no other reason.
2(f). If the Registration Agents do discontinue the Personal Domain Service, the Customer will be able to make a claim to be repaid one twelfth of the annual subscription that they paid in advance, (including any supplementary subscriptions), for each month of their unused residual subscription period.
2(g). Only after the Registrations Agents have made available the Personal Domain Service for use by the Customer for a 3 months period of the initial subscription or the renewal subscription period, will they be irrevocably entitled to retain the initial or the renewal subscription for the residual term of the initial or the renewal subscription period.
2(h). The Customer accepts that they will have no claim whatsoever for any interest earned on funds held by the Registration Agents in respect of subscriptions they paid in advance and/or unpaid commission due to them for their introduction of new Customers to use the Registration Agents services.
2(i). If the Customer wishes to cancel their initial subscription, for whatever reason, within 7 days after authorising their payment (hereinafter referred to as their 7 days' trial period), in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Protection (Distant Selling) Regulations 2000, they can request and receive a 'no quibble' refund on-line, the payment being conditional that the refund is used to either cancel the authorised payment for the initial subscription, so that neither transactions will appear on the card holders statement, or, if the Customers card has been already debited for the initial subscription by their Card Issuer, then the refund is ONLY re-credited to the card used by the Customer for authorising that payment; in this case, any charges, made by the Card Issuer or any currency fluctuations, will be at the sole commercial risk of the Customer who agrees to accept the credit in full and final settlement, even if the amount differs from that originally paid.
2(j). The amounts of the initial subscription and the renewal subscription may be varied, from time to time, by the Registration Agents or at their sole discretion, they may or may not vary them because of any changes the UK Government makes to the VAT rate (sales tax); existing Customers will be given one months advance notice, by e-mail, of any variations; this will not affect any subscriptions that have been paid for in advance.
3(a). If the Customer does not apply for a refund during their 7 days' trial period, with or without making use of the free optional software, then the Customer implicitly agrees that their initial or any renewal subscriptions are not refundable and that all information, provided when completing their on-line registration process to use the Personal Domain Service, is true, complete and accurate.
3(b). The Registration Agents will allow the Customer the right to have their 7 days trial period as a one-off opportunity to try out the Personal Domain Service. For the avoidance of any misunderstandings, the Customer agrees that, should they apply for a refund during their 7 days' trial period, they will not be entitled to a further 7 days trial period unless they send an e-mail to and obtain written permission from the Registration Agents to do so.
3(c). Any changes to the information, provided by the Customer, must be immediately disclosed to the Registration Agents; the Customer must do this by accessing their Administration Controls (that must always be password controlled) and update the details that have changed.
3(d). During registration, the Customer must provide a password and user name to access their Administration Controls. They can use the temporary ones generated during the 24 hours when allowed to test the software to try out the Personal Domain Service or select alternative ones, but agree to choose ones that are not too short, easily guessed, not a real name or a word in the dictionary and not to be divulged to anyone else (a password should consist of a combination of letters and numbers) but it can be changed by the Customer anytime, via their Administration Controls. Should any dispute arise as a consequence of a password being guessed by a third party, the Customer agrees to the Registration Agents suspending the use of the Personal Domain Service, whilst they wait to receive answers to an e-mail, sent in accordance with item 3(h) below.
3(e). The Customer can at any time create or remove supplementary passwords, via their Administration Controls to grant or restrict access to any specific page or pages on their web site or even restrict access to their whole web site.
3(f). The Customer irrevocably authorises the Registration Agents, and anyone acting on the Registration Agents' behalf, to override their passwords to enable the viewing of the Web Site or specific web pages, to ensure that their web site is being used in accordance with this Agreement.
3(g). The Customer can translate web-site content and messages and include any personalised items, in their local language, instead of English, but will need to use a local language keyboard to enter details and their visitors will need a web browser that can display pages in their language to view them; the Customer can also display a link to their Administration Controls on their web-site OR access their Administration Controls by using the Log-In button on any of the Registration Agents own web-sites OR even do both.
3(h). Also, during registration, the Customer will be asked to provide a Secret Answer to a Secret Question to help keep their account secure; if later the Registration Agents need to verify the identity of the Customer, or the Customer claims that their user name and password have been hijacked and is being used by somebody else to access their Administration Controls, then the Registration Agents will request the Secret Answer by asking the Secret Question in an e-mail sent to the "Customer" who alleges that their user name and password have been hijacked; if the Registration Agents fail to have any reply within 14 days or receive a reply different from the Secret Answer; then the Registration Agents will be unable to e-mail a replacement password for the Customer to regain access to their Administration Controls, following which the Registration Agents need take no further action and the "Customer" who alleges that their user name and password have been hijacked, irrevocably agrees to forfeit their claim to the disputed Personal Domain Name and any residual subscription and commission credited for introductions from their website.
3(i). The Customer agrees that it is the option of the Registration Agents not to divulge to them their Secret Answer to their Secret Question that they provided during their on-line subscription registration process, even if, as a consequence, the Customer will no longer be able to operate the Personal Domain Service. The Customer agrees not to hold the Registration Agents liable for any consequential loss, due to the Customer forgetting either their Secret Answer or their User Name and Password needed to access their Administration Controls.
4(a). Before completing their on-line subscription to use the Personal Domain Service, the Customer agrees to ensure that their choice of a Personal Domain Name will not incorporate lewd, litigious or unpleasant words or abuse any trade mark, or will not be registered to pass off another firms' or person's trading name or mark or be a name that will be confusing to those contacting them because of the similarity with another person, organisation, club, society or a trading name that has already established goodwill; all these forbidden choices for a personal domain name are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as "a Prohibited Personal Domain Name"; if in doubt, the Customer is urged to take legal advice before registration.
4(b). Although the Registration Agents will not be a party in name-disputes, the Customer irrevocably gives authority to them, whose sole interpretation, as regards what is a Prohibited Personal Domain Name, will be binding with no right of appeal, to withhold, suspend or cancel at any time, the Customer's use of a Prohibited Personal Domain Name, including their web site. The Customer agrees that the Registration Agents will not be held liable for ANY compensation whatsoever, should they exercise this discretionary option (whatever the outcome).
4(c). The Customer also undertakes not to use, or allow others to use, the Personal Domain Service to publish on their web-site, or allow any link to any other web-site, blogging pages or discussion forums or allow their own blogging pages or discussion forums (if forming part of their web site) to provide information that could be construed as passing themselves or their visitors off as some other person, group or Organisation or for making any unlawful, obscene, abusive, libellous, derogatory, offensive, cyber bullying or objectionable statements or any activity that is prohibited by law or for the promotion of violence, weaponry, hate sites, militant ideology or pornography in any form whatsoever or anything associated with the sex or escort industry or for displaying illegal or nuisance information that violates others racial or religious rights and beliefs or discriminates against their gender, age or disabilities or to allow their website to be used to promote and/or sell drugs, medicines, medical and health advice and services, pyramid schemes, chain letters or any form of gambling or used to send spam e-mails or for harvesting information and e-mail addresses to facilitate others to generate unsolicited communications or use their websites to advocate hacking, cracking or to assist in the creation and/or distribution of computer viruses, or to participate in any form of sending mass unsolicited e-mails, irrespective as to whether the Personal Domain Service is being used for Personal or Business use. But, if the Customer becomes a victim because 'innocently' they have allowed their computer to become a bot or 'zombie' and therefore controlled by a third party, resulting in their relaying spam, launching phishing scams or being involved in denial-of-service attacks without their knowledge, then the Customer agrees to the Registration Agents blocking access to their servers from any infected computer until the third partys bot has been removed by the Customer using anti-virus software to prevent future occurrences. Websites that are created by the Customer as a fan or supporter of modern or historic buildings or locations or incorporate the name of an established entertainer, singer, pop group, band, sports team or any business, government or charitable organisation will only be displayed if no objections are received from the organisations owning buildings or locations or persons and/or organisations being promoted on the site, the Customer irrevocably agrees to this stipulation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Customer agrees that any photographs or images that have been uploaded by anyone to the Our Pages Ltd's Community Photograph/Image Library or any photograph or image they upload themselves will only be displayed on the Customers website on the clear understanding that, should any photograph or image become subject to any dispute for any reason whatsoever, the Customer will, if instructed to do so by the Registration Agents, immediately cease to display it on their website and will refrain from using it again.
4(d). If the Personal Domain Service is being used to promote a business or an Organisation with club membership rules, the Customer agrees to conform with the provisions of the distant selling regulations and to display additional compulsory information on their web-site and to prominently display their trading name, full postal address and phone number and any club membership rules or terms of business on their website and to protect their customers or club members against bank, debit and credit card fraud. Optional software facilities may be provided by third parties for free personal use with the Personal Domain Service; the Customer agrees, if using such optional software for business use, to obtain a commercial licence from the third party, if required.
4(e). The Customer agrees to the Registration Agents displaying the following text at the bottom of each of the web pages that the Customer creates using the Registration Agents' Instant Editable Website Templates: Website generated by OurPages. Click links below if interested in a Website for yourself: Want Your Own Web-Site? Compare Our Pages Ltd's Service. Report Wrongful Use, these will hereinafter be referred to as "the three unobtrusive links".
4(f). The Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, save and hold the Registration Agents harmless from any and all damages, demands, liabilities, losses, costs and claims, including legal fees, occurring, at any time, from any source because of the Customers misuse of the Personal Domain Service or of any of the free optional software made available to them.
5. The Domain Names used by the Registration Agents, at the end-section of a Personal Domain Name, are all considered to be generic and not capable of being registered as Trademarks; the templates provided by the Registration Agents for Customers to create their websites are also considered not to infringe any Trademarks or copyright material, but, in the unlikely event of a dispute as regards any trademark infringement of the end-section of a Personal Domain Name, or copyright material inadvertently being contained within a template being used by the Customer, the Customer irrevocably agrees to cease using any such Domain Name, and/or Website Template, if requested to do so by the Registration Agents; the Customer can then choose, if they so desire, an alternative Personal Domain Name and/or use one of the other templates for their website; in this case, the subscription duration period will be extended without payment by a further two years, as an ex-gratia, goodwill gesture; alternatively, the Customer agrees to terminate this Agreement and to accept a refund of their subscription paid to the Registration Agents.
6(a). In the event that the Registration Agents notice for themselves or are made aware by a third party, via the Report Wrongful Use link, that the Customers web site is being operated for any unauthorized use, not permitted under the provisions of this Agreement, or the web-site promotes a business or club activity without displaying the compulsory information, or the Customer fails to display the above three unobtrusive links on their web-pages, then the Customer irrevocably gives authority to the Registration Agents, whose sole interpretation, as to whether or not the Customer has failed to keep to this Agreement, will be binding on the Customer with no right of appeal, to suspend or withdraw, without notice, the Personal Domain Service, including their web site, unless the Customer provides a satisfactory explanation as to how they failed to comply with this Agreement and reconfirm their commitment to observe the terms of it, in the future.
6(b). If the Registration Agents withdraw the Customers use of the Personal Domain Service or their web site because of any unauthorised use, the Customer agrees that any subscriptions or other fees paid in advance will be forfeited irrespective as to how long the Registration Agents made available the Personal Domain Service to the Customer before unauthorised use of the website was drawn to their attention; in addition, the Customer irrevocably grants the Registration Agents permission to reveal their contact details to the police, government authorities or any aggrieved third party without any notice.
6(c). The Customer agrees that the Registration Agents will not be held liable for ANY compensation whatsoever, should the Registration Agents exercise this discretionary option because of unauthorised use.
6(d). Also, if the Customer has translated website content and messages or included any Personalised input in their local language, instead of English, and unauthorised use is pointed out by a visitor to the Customers website, then a decision by the Registration Agents, in accordance with this Agreement, will only be made, following the translation of the web-site content and any messages back into English; the Customer, in the meantime, agrees to the temporary suspension of their use of the Personal Domain Service including their web site, whilst the Registration Agents examine the allegation.
6(e). Before being allowed to complete their on-line registration and in accordance with item 1(b) of this Agreement, the Customer has to confirm that they can read, write and understand English. In the event of any dispute regarding web site content, written in a local language, the Customer agrees to communicate, in the exchange of e-mails between themselves and the Registration Agents, in the English language at all times.

7(b). The Registration Agents will try to make their Servers (for the provision of computer disk space connected to the Internet) available to the Customer and their web-site visitors at all times, but the Customer expressly accepts that interruptions may suddenly occur to the Personal Domain Service and that the Registration Agents make no warranty that the service will be uninterrupted or error free at all times but will use their best endeavours to minimise the period during which the service may be disrupted.
7(c). Although the Registration Agents will periodically make backups of the Customers data, for the purpose of this Agreement, the Customer is entirely and solely responsible to use the Backup Button to make copies of their web-site content on a regular basis.
7(d). Although the Registration Agents will use their best endeavours to correct defects and errors promptly and attempt to keep their servers free of viruses and other harmful elements such as hackers, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that their use of the Personal Domain Service is solely at their own risk; it is recommended that the Customer has insurance cover in respect of any loss of data, stored on the Registration Agents servers.
7(e). The Customer can only access the Personal Domain Service via the Internet and is solely responsible for the provision of the equipment and their Internet Service Provider's software that is required to access the Internet, as well as for the payment to third parties of any Internet and/or Mobile phone charges.
8(a). The Customer is initially allocated 10 Mb per day (300 Mb per month) bandwidth usage for visitors to access their Personal Domain Web-Site. But note: Every time a Customers web page is viewed in a browser, it will eat into this allocation. Should the Customers visitors use more than 10 Mb of bandwidth in a day, the Registration Agents will display a notice, viewable by visitors, stating: "This web site is at the moment unavailable due to bandwidth restrictions. We are sorry for any inconvenience"; simultaneously, the Customer will be notified by e-mail and will be invited (not obliged) to subscribe for additional bandwidth usage in 10 Mb blocks, paying an additional twelve pounds annual supplementary subscription, inclusive of VAT, for each additional 10 MB of daily bandwidth they want to be allocated for use by their visitors, with no upper limit placed on the number of extra 10 Mb blocks that the Customer can subscribe for.
8(b).

9(a). The Customer accepts that the Registration Agents WILL NOT provide them with any e-mail service whatsoever to prevent any possibility of e-mail abuse.
9(b). The Customer is initially allocated 16 Mb of server space for the day to day use of their website for the duration period; the amount of server space being used can be viewed by the Customer by going to their Administration Controls.
9(c). But, if at any time, this server space allocation is used up, the Customer will be notified by a "warning" e-mail, inviting them to "free-up" more space, by deleting some of their website content; failure to do so will result in the Registration Agents displaying a notice on the Customers web-site stating: "This web-site is at the moment unavailable due to web-site capacity restrictions. We are sorry for any inconvenience". This notice will be continually displayed on the Customers web-site until the Customer deletes some web-site content, or alternatively, subscribes for additional server space in 16 Mb blocks, paying an additional twelve pounds annual supplementary subscription inclusive of VAT, for each additional 16 MB of server space they want to be allocated for their web site usage, with no upper limit placed on the number of extra 16 Mb blocks that the Customer can subscribe for.

10(d). The Customers decision to subscribe for the duration period should not be made on the basis of an existing users application but whether the Customer believes it to be suitable for the task that they envisage. This can be evaluated during their 7 days' trial period referred to in item 2(i) of this Agreement; in particular, the Customer accepts that the Registration Agents will be unable to correct any display anomalies in any language other than English and this potential problem should be investigated by the Customer before the expiry of their 7 days' trial period.
11(a). The Customer agrees that the Registration Agents will not be held responsible for any breaches in security which may occur during the Customers use of the Personal Domain Service. The Customer must take all precautions to prevent any unauthorised access to the Personal Domain Service from hackers or other unauthorised persons by not divulging their Administration Controls User Name and Password to anyone and by having anti-virus software installed on any computer used when accessing their web site and Administration Controls.
11(b). User-names and Passwords will be agreed between the Customer and the Registration Agents but the Customer must take all necessary precautions to keep all user-names and passwords secret and to only modify files that are within their designated area on the disk of the server, hosting their web site.

Providing the Customer does not cancel their initial subscription, they will be entitled to be credited One Pound Commission in respect of any Visitor to their web site who clicks the Want your own Web-Site? link and pays the initial subscription to use the Personal Domain Service and continues to use it for at least 3 Months more after their 7 days' trial period has ended, hereinafter referred to as "the new customer".

The Customer accepts that, the Registration Agents can only credit One Pound Commission for the referral as long as they can identify that this has occurred by either: (i) placing a cookie on the the new customer's computer, providing their web browser accepts cookies (most do), or (ii) they invite the new customer to bookmark the Registration Agents' Web Site that they have visited after clicking the Want your own Web-Site? link on the Customer's Web Site. The Customer irrevocably accepts that the Registration Agents will only credit commission for an introduction, to the person or organisation owning the web site that is recorded as the Introducer of the the new customer and is simultaneously viewable in their respective Administration Controls, in accordance with the provisions of item 12(d) below and to nobody else.
12(d). Through their respective Administration Controls, both the Customer and the new customer can follow the progress of introductions originating from their Web Sites, by viewing (i) the name of the web site responsible for introducing them to the Registration Agents, (ii) the "registration status" of referrals from their Web Site and (iii) the availability of cleared funds due to them that will be available after the new customer has used the Personal Domain Service for 3 months.

One pound commission will be held in trust on behalf of the Customer until paid over to them in accordance with item 12(f), commission details being shown upon accessing their Administration Controls. If it is subsequently found that the new customer used a stolen Debit or Credit Card number, which can take up to 3 months before it is ascertained, but could be even longer, the Customer agrees that they will not be entitled to any commission for the introduction and agree to reimburse the Registration Agents any commission paid to them, prior to the Registration Agents being made aware that a stolen debit or credit card was used to pay the subscription.
12(f). If the provisions of item 19(b) below do NOT apply, the Customer accepts that any commission will be paid to them by the Registration Agents, ONLY on quarter days, namely 25th March, 24th June, 29th September or 25th December and they also agree to make a commission claim ONLY for a minimum of 10 introduced Customers that have each been using the Personal Domain Service for at least a period of 3 Months; the Customer agrees to open a PayPal Account (click link, then scroll down to the bottom of the PayPal page and click their 'Sign Up today' button, then select EITHER the 'Personal Account' or ''Business Account' option), into which the Registration Agents will deposit commission payments when the Customer becomes entitled to receive them. ONLY if these criteria are met, will the Customer be entitled to receive any Commission payment. An e-mail reminder will be sent to the Customer fourteen days in advance of a quarter day to remind them to activate the 'Commission Payments Button' in the Customer's Administration Controls in order for them to receive the commission that they have become entitled to.

12(h). The Customer agrees to make sure that their PayPal Account e-mail address and both their postal and any alternative e-mail address, as recorded in their Customer's Administration Controls, are correct at the time of making a request for any payment in accordance with items 12(f and g) above or item 19(b) below. The Customer agrees that the Registration Agents will not be held responsible for any payments credited to a wrong beneficiary as a result of the Customer failing to provide updated information.
13(a). The Registration Agents will send a warning renewal e-mail to the Customer fourteen days before the expiry date of the duration period. Any failure by the Customer to renew their subscription in time, in accordance with item 2(c) of this Agreement, will entitle the Registration Agents, on the expiry day, to either cancel, lapse or even appropriate the Personal Domain Name and resell it; the Customer irrevocably gives authority to do this without any preconditions and agrees to waive all rights to the Personal Domain Name for ever.
13(b). The Customer acknowledges that the Registration Agents have the right to withdraw the Customer's existing use of the Personal Domain Service without notice during the duration period and terminate this Agreement immediately without giving their commercial reasons.

14(b). The Customer irrevocably accepts that any restrictions imposed in this Agreement on a Personal Domain Name provided by the Registration Agents shall also be construed as a restriction imposed on their own personally registered domain name if their domain is hosted on the Registration Agents servers and used as defined in 14(a).

The Customer attests that, at the time when they are entering into this Agreement in their personal capacity, that they are 18 years or older, and, if acting for and on behalf of their Sports or Social Club, Society, Team, Band, Orchestra, Church, Business or other Organisation, they also have the absolute authority to enter into this Agreement on their behalf.

During the first seven calendar days of sickness, an employee can self-certify that they are unable to work. After this time, a doctor may issue a 'fit note' (this replaces the old 'sick note'). A fit note allows doctors to advise whether someone 'may be fit for work' or is 'not fit for work'. In either case, the GP will include evidence for the advice they have given.
If the note states that someone "may be fit for work", the GP will include information about the functional effects of the person's condition. They will also give advice about what may be done to help the person be able to work. The information is intended to encourage a discussion where the employer and employee consider and agree any changes that would help the person return to work.
If the note states that someone is unable to work, then the organisation's sick leave policy will come into use – see below.

Body Pillows, Neck Pillows, And Memory Foam For A Better SleepWednesday, April 29th, 2009
A pillow is defined as a large cushion that is used to support the head. A pillow is usually used while sleeping in a bed. It can also be used on a chair or couch. The use of pillows dates back to Ancient Egyptians. These pillows were used by ancient Egyptians and were found in many Egyptian tombs. Pillows then began to be as commodities in China, then Persia, then Medieval Europe.
There are many different types of pillows. Body pillows, neck pillows and memory foam pillows can be the perfect addition to a better night's sleep.
Body Pillows
Body pillows are long pillows. These pillows are as long as a full adult body. Body pillows give optimal support to the head and neck, as well as to the knees and legs at the same time. Body pillows are ideal for side sleepers and pregnant women.
Neck Pillows
Neck pillows offer additional support to the neck. These pillows provide a deep area for the head to rest. These pillows also feature an area that keeps the neck properly aligned. Neck pillows are also called cervical pillows. These are ideal for people who suffer from back or neck pain.
Memory foam Pillows
Memory foam pillows provide the benefits of memory foam to the head and neck. Memory foam uses innovative technology that uses the sleeper's body temperature to warm up the material. Once the memory foam is heated, it provides a soft cradle to the neck and head.
Body pillows, neck pillows and memory foam pillows can add the right touch to any sleep. If you already have the perfect mattress, but are looking for something extra, try a body pillow, neck pillow or memory foam pillow.

Residential Wind Energy
Posted on 18. May, 2009 by Alan Huguenot, CEPE.
Currently, a client in rural Oregon, who owns a windy butte, is looking at installing a major sized wind generator on the mountain top, and selling power back to the grid. All of that sounds like fun, but what about a normal residential client who wants to look at wind generation? […]

BOULDER, CO - June 13, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti-spyware software for consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, today announced the company's next major enterprise anti-spyware product release with the introduction of Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0. Utilizing a completely re-architected client, the new version offers kernel level driver protection to detect and remove the most malicious types of spyware, including rootkits and other evolving malware, and positions the Webroot solution at the forefront of the Internet security industry.
Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0's kernel level driver capabilities enable detection and removal of the most sophisticated forms of spyware which use rootkit technology to mask or hide itself from the Windows Operating System and other security products. Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 is able to detect and remove these devious types of spyware during regular system sweeps. Webroot achieves this capability with the company's patent-pending direct disk scanning technology. This technology allows 3.0's client engine to scan an infected hard drive directly, bypassing the normal Microsoft Windows API's that control disk access and providing real-time protection against fully cloaked spyware.
To complement these powerful removal capabilities, Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 also offers new real-time Smart Shields, providing enterprises and SMBs with the widest breadth of proactive blocking protection available.
- The ActiveX Shield thwarts drive-by downloads and blocks potential spyware threats that use ActiveX components to disguise their installation - except for those specifically approved by the administrator.
- The Spy Communication Shield prevents further spyware infection by blocking incoming and outgoing communication to Web sites known to host potential spyware threats and disables spyware programs' ability to re-install during removal.
- The BHO Shield blocks the installation of Browser Helper Objects (BHOs) unless specifically approved by the administrator.
- The IE Trusted Sites Shield prevents spyware from modifying Internet Explorer security-zone settings.
"As the financial incentives posed by stealing sensitive data or serving adware continually increase, spyware developers will continue to develop new threats and techniques to bypass anti-spyware solutions," said C. David Moll, CEO of Webroot Software Inc. "It is imperative that businesses of all sizes deploy a desktop anti-spyware solution that provides real-time protection against the most insidious types of spyware. Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 is the only corporate anti-spyware solution to use kernel level driver protection, superior blocking technology and the most advanced research techniques to effectively accomplish this while minimizing system impact."
The introduction of Webroot Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 is further bolstered by the launch of Phileas™ V - the next generation of Webroot's automated spyware research system designed to proactively seek out the most malicious types of spyware and malware. Phileas debuted in January 2005 as the first automated anti-spyware research system and dramatically enhances Webroot's anti-spyware definition database and detection capabilities. Phileas V builds upon the phenomenal success of the original system with several technical enhancements to more effectively fight the spyware plague, including a multi-tiered bot network that employs advanced research techniques, like deep packet sniffing. This and other advanced technologies ultimately improve Phileas' ability to discover new threats more quickly, accurately and efficiently than ever before.
With Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0, Webroot will also start releasing incremental definitions that allow client workstations to download only the new or updated definitions from their administration console, thereby significantly reducing impact on desktop resources and vastly improving network bandwidth consumption. Webroot will also be introducing a new category in the definitions called "Informational". This category is used to audit and scan a client workstation for unwanted applications such as P2P or other file sharing applications that consume large amounts of network bandwidth. Administrators, once alerted to the presence of these applications, may opt to have Spy Sweeper remove them from the workstation.
Other new features and enhancements in Spy Sweeper Enterprise 3.0 include: ability to scan compressed files, and enhanced scalability options, that guarantee complete removal of threats, laptop and remote user management capabilities, and configurable SNMP alerts for detected spyware at the conclusion of sweeps. Administrators can now also throttle CPU usage for both the memory and file scans to minimize impact on user productivity during sweeps.
For enterprises still evaluating the spyware threat and the solutions available to them, Webroot provides two free tools to ease the process. The Webroot Corporate Spy Audit tool enables corporations to assess the risk level their organizations face from spyware infections. Additionally, the company offers a free 30-day trial of Spy Sweeper Enterprise to allow organizations to test a proven corporate anti-spyware solution while also protecting their networks from the dangers of spyware.

Still Employed…but starving?
Apparently Enrique Iglesias was joking when he said last week that he was divorced and single. Which is about as funny as his other jokes about having a small penis.
Anyway, here's Anna, rumoured to still be his wife and therefore still employed, at the 22nd Sports Spectacular the other day, not that she could ever have been called a professional athlete, but even less so these days given her alarmingly little body.
It's been little for a while, it's still little now, and even though it hasn't gotten worse, it clearly hasn't gotten any better, in spite of his alleged efforts. Because although he may act like a douche once in a while, word is he cares about her deeply, and that he did and is doing all he can to get her healthier.
Never mind a rally, at this point she looks like she'd be killed on the receiving end of a Serena serve…
Avocado drip ASAP.

TALLAHASSEE, Florida (Reuters) - A man convicted of killing a British tourist in a botched robbery that touched off an international furor 20 years ago had his life sentence formally reduced to 40 years on Friday.
Aundra Akins, now 34, could be out of prison in 12 years if he continues his clean disciplinary record behind bars.
Because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling which held that juveniles cannot be sentenced to "natural life" sentences, the Florida 1st District Court of Appeal ordered a new sentencing hearing for Akins, who was 14 at the time of the crime.
Akins, with an adult and two other youths, went out after midnight on September 14, 1993, looking for people to rob at a highway rest stop on Interstate 10 near Monticello, 25 miles east of the state capital, Tallahassee.
They found Gary Colley and his companion, Margaret Jagger, sleeping in their car and in the confusion of the robbery, Akins shot Colley in his head and grazed Jagger in the chest.
Jagger returned to Monticello for Friday's resentencing, noting that Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of the assault.
"I personally think it's quite hard but, hopefully, Aundra has turned a corner and will be able to make some life, and will be able to come out in about 12 years with good behavior," she said afterward. "So, hopefully, then he can keep out of trouble in prison and have another life ahead of him, after prison."
Circuit Judge Karen Gievers heard testimony from family members about Akins maturing in prison and getting his high school equivalency diploma, along with arguments against letting him out. She then imposed the 40-year sentence, retroactive to 2010.
The Monticello murder was the last in a series of tourist assaults and killings that damaged Florida's family tourism brand in the mid-1990s. Then-Governor Lawton Chiles ordered night-time security guards to be positioned at highway rest stops and rental car companies abandoned markings that were known to thieves preying on travelers.
The Florida legislature also enacted mandatory sentencing laws of 10 years to life for gun crimes and voters adopted a constitutional amendment requiring all inmates to serve 80 percent of their sentences before eligibility for early release.

The Varsity Matchup
For the fourth straight year, Harvard and Yale avoided each other at Sprints and will meet for the first time in New London. Both teams have already guaranteed themselves winning seasons. Harvard enters with a 7-0 record, San Diego Crew Classic title and Eastern Sprints silver medal to its credit. Yale is 4-2 and began the season with a dual win against Brown, the crew that later edged the Crimson for the Eastern Sprints title May 13. The Bulldogs placed second in the petite final, eighth overall, at Sprints.
The 2011 Varsity Race
Harvard led by a couple seats after a half-mile and by nearly a length following a full mile. Yale kept contact and trailed by three seconds through 1.5 miles, but the Crimson soon gained open water and led by six seconds with half the course gone. The Harvard advantage reached 10 seconds through three miles and 14 seconds through 3.5. The Crimson completed its perfect dual season with a time of 19:05.7 to Yale's 19:19.1.
A Milestone Year
Harry Parker, the Thomas Bolles Head Coach for Harvard Men's Crew, is in his 50th season. He has guided the Crimson to 23 varsity Sprints titles and 18 second varsity crowns. Parker's dual coaching record is 312‑44-1, and his varsity has gone undefeated 21 times.
Seeking Perfection
All three Harvard boats racing Saturday are unbeaten in dual competition for a combined record of 20-0.
Perfect Seasons Under Parker
The Harvard varsity eight is seeking its 22nd perfect dual season in the coaching tenure of Harry Parker and its third in four years.
Going the Distance
While most races are 2,000 meters in length, the Crimson and Eli varsities depart from that "sprint" distance to battle along a four-mile course. The varsity race is the longest of its kind in America and three times the distance of a normal race. (Each crew will take approximately 700 strokes to complete the course.) The combination and freshman races are two miles long, and the second varsity contest is three.
History Lesson
College sports' longest-running rivalry dates back more than a century and a half to a two‑mile race, won by Harvard, August 3, 1852 on Lake Winnepesaukee in New Hampshire.
Saturday's race is the 125th on the Thames. Harvard leads the rivalry, 92-54, including a 75-49 edge in New London. The last non-New London race occurred on May 18, 1974, on Boston's Charles River. This is the 67th straight year Harvard and Yale are rowing each other. The last time they didn't meet was 1945, during World War II.
Series Records
In addition to its 92-54 varsity series lead Harvard leads the second varsity series against Yale, 72-37, and the freshman series, 68-39-1.
Spring Sweeping
Harvard has swept freshman, second varsity and varsity races at each of the last four Regattas. The Crimson previously swept the Regatta for four straight seasons from 2001-04. It was a feat not accomplished since Harvard recorded five straight sweeps from 1971-75. Yale won two of three races in 2007 and last swept the Regatta in 1996.
The Second Varsity Race
Yale won second varsity event twice in three years from 2005 to '07, but Harvard has since claimed four straight wins, including a half‑minute victory last season. The Crimson hung on for a dramatic two-second win in 2009 and won by 15.6 seconds in 2010. In last year's race, Harvard led by five seconds halfway through the race but added 25 seconds to the margin over the second half. Harvard finished in 13:38, eclipsing the three‑mile course record of 13:46.1 set by the 2004 Crimson second varsity. Yale finished in 14:08.
Harvard's second varsity is 6-0 in dual racing and finished less than a second back of winner Wisconsin at Sprints. Yale is 4-2 and finished fourth in the Sprints petite final.
The Freshman Race
The Crimson has won five straight H-Y freshman races and nine in 10 years. A strong tailwind made for fast, but difficult, conditions last season. The Crimson challenged the course record before settling for a winning time of 9:03.2, while Yale reached the finish in 9:24.2.
Harvard, under first-year coach William Boyce, posted a 7-0 freshman record before finishing 2.2 seconds ahead of the pack in the Sprints grand final. Yale is 5-1 and placed fourth in the Sprints petite final. The Elis' lone dual blemish was a second-place finish between Cornell and Princeton.
The Combination Race
Friday's combination race is a chance to combine oarsmen from the varsity and heavyweight squads. This year's race will be held in fours with Harvard entering two boats and Yale entering one.
Sprinting to Success
Harvard captured the Rowe Cup team championship and freshman eight title for the third straight year at the EARC Sprints May 13 on Lake Quinsigamond in Worcester, Mass. The Crimson varsity and second varsity eights finished second, as Harvard medaled in each of its six events.
The fourth varsity eight also won gold for the third year in a row, while the third varsity and second freshman eights took bronze as part of yet another outstanding team performance for the Crimson.
The Harvard heavyweight varsity eight has defeated its last 20 and 35 of its last 36 dual opponents, with the lone loss coming in 2010 at Brown. The Crimson has defeated its last 21 and 43 of its last 44 dual opponents when racing at home on the Charles River. Harvard's last home loss was April 15, 2006 against Princeton. The Harvard freshman eight has defeated 42 straight dual opponents.

- More about Le Creuset
The first Le Creuset foundry opened in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, and specialized in cast-iron cookware. The cast-iron pieces are still made at the original factory, using the traditional techniques of hand forging and casting in individual sand molds. The brightly pigmented porcelain-enamel glaze that first set Le Creuset cookware apart from other cast-iron cookware now comes in a wide range of traditional and contemporary colors. In 2013, Le Creuset began producing innovative stainless-steel cookware in Portugal with lids that incorporate the same signature three-ring design as the company's classic cast-iron pieces. This stainless-steel collection was awarded the prestigious 2014 Red Dot Award for product design.
Rated 4 out of 5 by JillK01 from Le Creuset gratin dish Love the traditional "gratin" design. It's a lot smaller than I had expected. I still make a lot of use of it.Date published: 2015-01-09Rated 5 out of 5 by KatBargas from Hip HIp Horray for William-Sonoma!! I love my Le Creuset items I own and ordered a bunch more pieces to add to my collection. Unfortunately the delivery man was too rough with the Oval Gratin dishes in the box and they were broken. I called William-Sonoma about my dilemma the poof! The very next day I received a replacement set! Thank you very much for great customer service and quick turn around as I really wanted to use these for Thanksgiving dinner :-) I'll write back after I've used them a few times.Date published: 2014-11-14

As a pediatric feeding therapist, many kids are on my caseload because they are stuck in the chicken nugget and french fry rut…or will only eat one brand of mac-n-cheese…or appear addicted to the not-so-happy hamburger meal at a popular fast food chain. While this may often include kids with special needs such as autism, more than half my caseload consists of the traditional "picky-eaters" who spiraled down to only eating a few types of foods and now have a feeding disorder. I even had one child who only ate eight different crunchy vegetables, like broccoli and carrots. Given his love for vegetables, it took his parents a long time to decide this might be a problem. The point is: These kids are stuck in food jag, eating a very limited number of foods and strongly refusing all others. It creates havoc not only from a nutritional standpoint, but from a social aspect too. Once their parents realize the kids are stuck, the parents feel trapped as well. It's incredibly stressful for the entire family, especially when mealtimes occur three times per day and there are only a few options on what their child will eat.
It's impossible in a short blog post to describe how to proceed in feeding therapy once a child is deep in a food jag. Each child is unique, as is each family. But, in general, I can offer some tips on how to prevent this from happening in many families, again, keeping in mind that each child and each family is truly unique.
Here are my Top Ten suggestions for preventing food jags:
#10: Start Early. Expose baby to as many flavors and safe foods as possible. The recent post for ASHA on Baby Led Weaning: A Developmental Perspective may offer insight into that process.
#9: Rotate, Rotate, Rotate: Foods, that is. Jot down what baby was offered and rotate foods frequently, so that new flavors reappear, regardless if your child liked (or didn't like) them on the first few encounters. This is true for kids of all ages. It's about building familiarity. Think about the infamous green bean casserole at Thanksgiving. It's rare that hesitant eaters will try it, because they often see it only once or twice per year.
#8: Food Left on the Plate is NOT Wasted: Even if it ends up in the compost, the purpose of the food's presence on a child's plate is for him to see it, smell it, touch it, hear it crunch under his fork and perhaps, taste it. So if the best he can do is pick it up and chat with you about the properties of green beans, then hurray! That's never a waste, because he's learning about a new food.
#7: Offer Small Portions: Present small samples. Underwhelming – that's exactly the feeling we hope to invoke. Besides, if a tiny sample sparks some interest and your child asks for more peas, well, that's just music to your ears, right? Present the foods in little ramekins, small ice cube trays or even on tiny tasting spoons used for samples at the ice cream shop.
#6: Highlight Three or Four Ingredients Over Two Weeks: You can expose kids to the same three or four ingredients over the course of two weeks, while making many different recipes. For example, here are nine different ways to use basil, tomatoes and garlic. Remember get the kids involved in the recipe, so they experience the food with all of their senses. Even toddlers can tear basil and release the fragrance, sprinkling it on cheese pizza to add a little green. If they just want to include it as a garnish on the plate beside the pizza, that's a good start, too!
#5 Focus on Building Relationships with Food. That often doesn't begin with chewing and swallowing. Garden, grocery stop, visit the farmer's market, create food science experiments like this fancy way of separating egg whites from the yoke. Sounds corny (pardon the pun!), but making friends with food means getting to know food. I often tell the kids I work with "We are introducing your brain to broccoli. Brain, say hello to broccoli!"
#4 Don't Wait for a Picky Eating Phase to Pass: Use these strategies now. Keep them up, even through a phase of resistant eating. Learning to be an adventurous eater takes time.
#3 Don't Food Jag on FAMILY favorites. In our fast paced life, it's easy to grab the same thing for dinner most evenings. Because of certain preferences, are the same few foods served too often? Ask yourself, are you funneling down to your list of "sure things?" It's easy to fall into the trap: "Let's just have pizza again – at least I know everyone will eat that."
#2 Make Family Dinnertime Less about Dinner and More about Family. Why? Because the more a family focuses on the time together, sharing tidbits of their day and enjoying each other's company, the sweeter the atmosphere at the table. Seems ironic, given this article is focused is on food, but, the strategies noted above all include time together. That's what family mealtimes are meant to be: a time to share our day. Becoming an adventurous eater is part of that process over time.
And the #1 strategy for preventing food jags? Seek help early. If mealtimes become stressful or the strategies above seem especially challenging, that's the time to ask a feeding therapist for help. Feeding therapy is more than just the immediate assessment and treatment of feeding disorders – the long term goal is creating joyful mealtimes for the whole family. The sooner you seek advice, the closer you are to that goal. I hope you'll visit me at My Munch Bug.com for articles and advice on raising adventurous eaters and solving picky eating issues.

Hello and happy Saturday! I hope you are enjoying your weekend and had a chance to hop around to see all of the fabulous projects made for Operation Julie's Smile. It is still going on now through tomorrow evening, lots of prizes and of course help for the wonderful Julie Ranae. You can donated by clicking the Paypal logo on the side bar.
Now, how's bout a card? YEAH! I have to tell you, the mojo is still a little weak and I just haven't been feeling crafty, so when that happens I look for a challenge and in this particular situation I knew I had to CASE (copy and selectively edit) someone. Enter the CASE Study challenge. Chupa does an amazing job with this challenge blog, always a fabulous muse. This week it is Niki Estes. When I started papercrafting I remember always stalking her blog for ideas and inspiration, whoa can she color! Here is the card I made based off of her gorgeous creation.
Starting with a cream base, I masked off a square and stamped my music background strip repeatedly, added a few strips of card stock with my sentiment along with a die cut circle and colored butterfly.
I took Cristina's advice and looked at the picture for a few seconds and walked away. I then tried to recall the three, in this case four, design elements that stuck out to me, which were the music, turquoise, butterfly and circle.
Here is a look at Niki's card:
I hope you enjoyed and hopefully I will be back with more later. Take care my friend and have a great weekend!

Broncos' Von Miller on His Super Bowl Prediction — 'I Actually Feel it and I Believe In It'
Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller may be only 23, but in his two years in the NFL he's made two Pro Bowls and has registered 30 sacks and several different post-sack celebration dances. Off the field, the 2011 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year is known as much for his fashion sense as his football skills, especially with his "hipster"-style glasses (they're prescription and he's got 48 pairs of them) and impressive shoe game.
Miller's commitment to keeping up his good looks off the field now extends to skincare, joining with AXE Face to announce the launch of AXE Facescore. At an event in NYC, the 2010 Butkus award winner enjoyed a professional shave of his goatee using the new line of AXE products before taking on actress Adrianne Palicki in a series of head-to-head challenges.
Before he went under the blade, Miller brought us 'Up to Speed' about his favorite music, growing up a Cowboys fan and his bold Super Bowl prediction.
What's the first big thing you bought after you signed your first NFL contract?
I bought a Range Rover before I even had any money. That was the first thing I bought. I had to borrow some money from my agency and I went and bought a Range Rover, I've always wanted a Range Rover and I paid them back as soon as I got my money. Interest free!
What's the song on your iPod you hope no one finds out about?
I'm proud of all the music on my iPod. I don't have a problem with people finding out what music I've got. I like all my Rihanna songs, I like all my Phil Collins, I'm proud of all the music I've got. I listen to a lot of house music. I like all of Phil Collins, all of Phil Collins' greatest hits, his classics. I like everybody, Jimi Hendrix. I got like 36,000 songs on my MacBook. I've got a little bit of everything.
What famous woman do you hope is watching the Broncos play on Sundays?
I have the biggest crush on Rihanna. I hope she watches, I hope she's the biggest Broncos fan. I like all my ladies back home, I hope they're watching. [laughs] I'm just playin'. I've got a crush on Rihanna. I think everybody does.
What's something you can do in practice but could never do in a game?
Just act ridiculous. I act ridiculous in practice, do dumb stuff with all my teammates. But in a game it's serious, it's time to go. I goof around in practice and do all kinds of crazy stuff in practice but in a game it's serious. In practice, that's when you can be cocky and arrogant and talk trash and all that stuff. In the game it's for the team, we all have one goal in common and I'm all for it. In practice, I like to be arrogant to a comical level. I like to be arrogant to where it's funny and I think my teammates find it funny too.
What's the position you'd never play?
Offensive line. They have just the toughest job in football and maybe even in all of sports. They have to go week in and week out all game long without making any mistakes and if you make any mistakes it can be detrimental to your team. You could lose one of your star guys from you making a mistake. For a defensive guy, we can get beat all game and then we make that one big play and it's like "This guy had the best game ever!" I like those odds. I like being in that situation.
What's the oddest sports memento you've held onto?
I keep the tape from big games. I keep everything that I had on from big games -- shoes, tape, socks. I put it all in a Ziploc bag and I seal the bag so I can come back to it and smell it like in 20 years down the road I can have my son smell it. "This is what Daddy smelled like back in 2002!" [laughs]
What's your dream car?
My dream car would have to be a McLaren F1. Unfortunately, I've still got a little bit more work to do to get there but that's my dream car. Hopefully I can get it sometime soon.
What was your favorite poster on your wall as a kid?
My favorite poster on my wall was a poster of all the Dallas Cowboys Super Bowls and all the stars that have played for the Dallas Cowboys on that poster. It's like so tore up and we just moved it from here to here and by the time we got to high school it was just destroyed. But it had...what is the word? Sentimental value. We never let it go. I'm a big Cowboys fan even though I play with the Denver Broncos. Whenever it's Denver versus the Dallas Cowboys of course I'm going for Peyton Manning and the guys but any other game I'm watching the Cowboys game like I'm a fan. I love the Cowboys. DeMarcus Ware is the best. Tony Romo can be great too sometimes.
You're known for your sacks and your post-sack dances. What's your favorite celebration dance?
I like them all. Don't you like them all? I like them all! But it would have to be the dance for my foundation, Von's Vision. I actually came up with a sack dance that pays the foundation $1,000 every time I do it, called the DeSoto Shuffle, so that's why you guys saw me do it so many times. I raise money for my foundation which gives back free contacts, free glasses, free eye exams to underprivileged kids or kids who don't have glasses and free Lasik surgery for kids who qualify for it. Lasik surgery used to be super expensive. But now you can give a person an excellent pair of eyes. That's where my heart has always been.
You tweeted that the Broncos will win the Super Bowl next year. Why are they going to win?
I mean don't you feel the same way? It's only, like, right. But if you go around the league and you ask any guy in any sport period and you ask them if they've got a chance to win a championship of course the guy is going to say yes. I actually feel it and I believe in it. It wasn't motivated out of arrogance or cockiness. It was motivated by the fact that some of my family members got in a wreck and one of the little guys [six-year old cousin Jeremiah] is still having a tough time. He recently came out of a coma and they were trying to get him to remember stuff and the one thing that he retained, the one thing that he remembered, was that he has a cousin who plays for the Denver Broncos and his name was Von Miller. This really puts it in perspective. For me that is my motivation why I can predict it now. I'm willing to make that commitment to my teammates, to the guys around me, to Jeremiah. And I'm willing to get it done.

WCHA statement about losing five more teams, seven overall
COLORADO SPRINGS — Please read more about our coverage of the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference at denverpost.com/colleges and in Thursday's paper.
Here is a release from the Denver-based Western Collegiate Hockey Association, which today officially learned that longtime members DU, CC, North Dakota and Minnesota-Duluth, plus Nebraska-Omaha, will leave the league and join Miami (Ohio) and possibly Notre Dame of the CCHA in two years.
The 12-team WCHA previously learned that it will lose Minnesota and Wisconsin to the new Big Ten hockey conference, also set to begin for the 2013-14 season.
(The WCHA commissioner's office is in Denver and its public-relations arm in Madison, Wis.)
MADISON, Wis. – The Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) today issued the following statement from Commissioner Bruce M. McLeod in response to the announcement that five current men's league member teams will depart following the 2012-13 season to form a new hockey conference that will begin play in 2013-14.
"Obviously it's a tough day for the WCHA and a sad one for me personally," said McLeod, "and it's one that is not easy to put into perspective. We wish everyone well, but make no mistake, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association is not going away. The league will proudly mark it's 60th season this fall and we will continue to operate as a full-fledged Association and continue to do business the way we always have – in a first-class and forward-thinking manner.
"The history of the WCHA includes numerous eras of expansion and contraction but what has remained constant has been our success – both on and off the ice. Our remaining member institutions – Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State, Michigan Tech, Minnesota State and St. Cloud State – are absolutely committed to both Division 1 hockey and the WCHA and as an Association we will continue – as we always have – to provide a first-class product. We remain firm in our belief both that the game of college hockey is the best there is and that the WCHA will always be at the forefront of doing what is in the best interests of our sport. We look forward to promoting and enhancing the student-athlete experience, building on positive relationships with our local communities and fans, exciting rivalries and battling for championships.
"As regards to our future, the WCHA has a short-term plan that we will implement immediately. In the long-term, we will continue to formulate a strategic approach that will ensure the well-being of this Association and it's member teams for the long run. As a group, we remain committed and we are 100% confident our future remains bright."
The WCHA, home to a record 37 national championships teams since it's founding in 1951, will continue to operate as a 12-team conference for the upcoming 2011-12 and 2012-13 seasons. Current members consist of University of Alaska Anchorage, Bemidji State University, Colorado College, University of Denver, Michigan Technological University, University of Minnesota, University of Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State University, University of Nebraska-Omaha, University of North Dakota, St. Cloud State University and University of Wisconsin.
