Distributors hate him! Learn these 10 weird tricks to self-releasing a film in the UK.
Friday January 30th 2015
You may have noticed I haven't been around 'these parts' much lately. That's because for the past few months I've been working with a small team to self-distribute Beyond Clueless — an essay film about teen movies — across the UK and Ireland.
Last week, after two weeks of touring the film around the country (isn't Newcastle pretty?) the film finally arrived on general release, where it was met by a four-star Guardian write-up and a brilliantly furious Daily Mail indictment. The film is still screening in London, Cardiff and a couple of other places.
Here are ten things I learned on the long and winding road of self-distribution:
It's much easier than you think. In fact, any idiot with £80 in the bank can do it.
Want to know the greatest secret of releasing a film theatrically in the UK? Anyone can do it. And I don't mean 'anyone can do it' in the after-school-special, I-love-you-just-the-way-you-are sense. I mean literally anyone can do it. All that stands between you and an official UK theatrical release is an £80 administrative fee paid to the FDA, the organisation that logs the UK's release schedule and timetables each week's National Press Show (NPS) screenings — the ones where British newspaper critics gather together to watch Pudsey The Dog: The Movie and The Purge: Anarchy back to back.
There is, however, one big, archaic-as-all-get-out barrier standing in your way.
The single biggest cost of releasing a film in the UK — and the thing ensuring that millions of brilliant indie and arthouse movies will never be legally available in this country — is our government mandated certification system. Unlike in America, where certification is optional and therefore non-censorial, anyone wishing to screen a film in UK cinemas must first secure the approval of the BBFC. In our case, that meant spending £867.60 (a figure that many films our size would struggle to earn back) before we'd even begun. To be clear, this is actually a very reasonable fee for the services rendered, but the fact that these services are mandatory means that more and more films will find themselves only available to UK audiences via The Pirate Bay.
So well done for that, British government.
The death of 35mm has made things pretty cheap, and you can make them even cheaper.
This year's Sundance Film Festival is the first in history to be screening entirely from digital sources — and really, it's a wonder it didn't happen sooner. Today, creating a 35mm print is a luxury available only to those with the wealth to be precious about the whole thing (stand up, Quentin Tarantino) and not your average first-time filmmaker. On the other hand, even the most expensive Soho post house will make you an industry-standard Digital Cinema Package (DCP) for less than a grand, or — and this is where things get really interesting — you can make one yourself using open source software like OpenDCP. Given that the result is likely to fit on a 64GB USB key, your largest expense may wind up being the first class stamp it takes to post the film to the cinema.
Getting in touch with cinema programmers is not as difficult as the programmers themselves probably wish it was.
When the first Mission: Impossible film came out, audiences chuckled at the idea that Ethan Hunt could simply guess a terrorist's e-mail address in order to contact him. Nowadays, in the age of standardised e-mail addresses and widespread Google literacy, that notion doesn't seem so outlandish, which means that communicating with cinema programmers — an act that once separated the distribution men from the self-releasing boys — is relatively easy. I'd hazard that almost anyone in the British film industry can be reached in under thirty seconds with a few carefully selected search terms. Just don't tell them you heard it from me.
Trailers are a good opportunity to stray from the mainstream (just don't stray too far).
The art of Hollywood trailer-making has evolved beyond recognition over the last two decades (how massively out of touch does anyone doing an impression of that 'in a world…' voice seem now?) but it's still a discipline ruled by formulas. The biggest mistake any low-level filmmaker can make is try to ape these formulas and wind up with a trailer that looks like it was made for a sixth-form media studies class. Instead, wear your indie credentials on your sleeve and make something that looks as little like the trailer for Battleship as possible. The promo for Beyond Clueless is nothing but a bunch of inanimate objects rotating on an MS DOS-operated turntable, shot in somebody's front room.
The aim of a poster is totally different for a small film than for a big one.
When it comes to designing movie posters, most studios are aiming for ubiquity and little more. If you know you have £500,000 to spend on plastering adverts for Taken 3 up and down the country, the only thing you need to ensure is that the title is fucking massive and Liam Neeson's face is suitably stern and grizzled. Chances are, a self-released film won't have that luxury, so focus instead on stopping power — the likelihood that people will want to dwell on your artwork should they see it online or displayed outside a cinema in Norwich. For Beyond Clueless, we designed dozens of hand-drawn VHS covers for classic teen movies and lined them all up on their sides so people really had to work to take them in. Craned necks = ticket sales, amirite?
Social media is your friend, albeit an irritating friend who fucks off whenever it's their round.
There's no getting around the value of social media in promoting a movie on a shoestring. Sites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest effectively allow you to target your niche audience in a place where they already congregate, which is obviously a thousand times more effective than making them come to you. Just ask any of those dodgy blokes who sell unpackaged cigarettes outside secondary schools. However, as social networks seek out more and more dastardly ways of profiting from their users, obstacles are increasingly being placed between films and their audiences. And the money spent removing these obstacles doesn't always represent great value.
Journalists just want to be treated like beautiful, unique snowflakes in a world of toil and strife.
If there's one thing I learned in half a decade of film blogging, it's precisely the kind of e-mail a film journalist dreams of receiving, and that is as follows: four sentences long, with no attachments, detailing the relevance of the film to their publication, and the best address to contact in case of any further interest. These are super easy to write and way, way more appealing than whatever epic tone poem (or worse, a cunning attempt at 'spin') you had in mind.
Fortune favours those willing to sit on trains and deal with Virgin's overpriced WiFi.
Until recently, I had assumed that most people hate watching Q&As as much as I do. As it turns out, this is not remotely the case. A screening of a film accompanied by a Q&A — even a Q&A with a nobody like me — is almost guaranteed to sell out ten times faster than a regular showing. People love cinema events with 'added value' (industry-speak for 'people on a stage') because it's about the only thing separating the big-screen experience from Netflix these days. So if you're willing to cover 600 miles in 10 days, as I did earlier this month, you'll find audiences are far more willing to come along and give up their hard-earned £8.50.
Sell tickets through any channel available to you, including the movie blog you haven't updated in almost a year.
As I mentioned before, BBFC certificates cost a fortune and cinemas only let you keep 35-50% of your box office, so if you plan on getting anywhere whatsoever with self-distribution, you will have to ditch your sense of modesty. Speaking of which, Beyond Clueless is in cinemas now, and I desperately need your help to make the £8 worth of Facebook ads I bought last week not seem like such a catastrophic waste of money.

I'll admit the prospect of Tony Abbott leading Australia terrifies me. But you know what? There's something that is far, far more frightening. There is an obnoxious, uninformed, and ignorant policy that the Liberals have put forward, and it's their weak, crippled National Broadband Network proposal. If the liberals actually get in power and put in place their reduced, passive, degraded, sub-par NBN plan, it will be detrimental to us as a nation. It will stifle our progress with technology on more levels than most people can imagine. Our nation must vote for Labor and their full performance National Broadband Network. Read more »

Julia Gillard vs Tony Abbott
Posted by Manachi on 27th March 2013 7 comments
I have a major problem with society when it comes to politics. I have almost lost faith in the whole process.
After a lot of consideration, I believe it simply comes down just a few key points:
- Due to ignorance, when there is real change, people resist.
- Due to greed, if a policy ever involves people having to pay, regardless of what it's for, people resist.
- The minority scream the loudest.
For the past few months, the vibe in Australian politics seems like everyone expects Labor's Julia Gillard to lose in the upcoming September election. Read more »

In the course of a very full day we discovered four EarthCaches, explored two caves for geocaches, found two of the "Back Roads Map Book GeoTour" caches, enjoyed some amazing scenery along the Chilliwack River, and had a fantastic time with great friends. In the end we made a total of 19 cache finds in an area that you could spend days caching in with all the different spots to go geocaching or just exploring.
Our caching location for the day was primarily the North side of the Chilliwack River, along the Foley Creek Forest Service Road, approximately 25 km's down Chilliwack Lake Road. Almost all of the area is accessible by pretty much any vehicle with decent clearance, but we went in Catapult Jeff & Iron Maiden's 4x4 Jeep, and were thankful we did. Plenty of spots on the roads and especially the wood bridge decks were icy.
Caching in the CavesAs part of our shared goals to try and complete our D/T grids, we were all happy to tackle caches with difficulties of 5 and 4.5 and a terrain of 5 - but mostly the guys were "psyched" to go spelunking in search of geocaches in both Hands and Feet caches (GC2X9HP & GC2X9H1).
As the cache descriptions indicate, it is very important to not go alone when exploring caves, and to bring the proper gear. Catapult Jeff & Mr. LANMonkey ensured we were equipped with coveralls, helmets, headlamps, radios, extra light, a long climbing rope, gloves, and of course, a video camera.
EarthCaching in 2014We are also grateful to Catapult Jeff & Iron Maiden for being willing to stop at four different EarthCaches in the area that they had all ready completed so that the LANMonkeys could discover them and learn as well. If you're not familiar with EarthCaches, they are a form of "virtual" geocache where you are not looking for a container with a log sheet to sign, but going to specific coordinates and stepping through a brief field-lesson in geology. Watch this older episode of LMGA we filmed last fall when we were placing our first EarthCache to get an overview on EarthCaching.
In addition, check out the resources at the Geological Society of America's website EarthCache.org for the most comprehensive source of information about discovering and creating EarthCaches.
Speaking of EarthCaches, did you know that Friday, January 10th is the 10th anniversary of the first EarthCache? Educational and fun events are taking place world-wide to celebrate this anniversary on the 10th, 11th, and 12th. For a complete listing of those events, check here. If you are in the Greater Vancouver area, it's not too late to sign up and come join us at the MetroVan Geocaching EarthCaching event at 7:30pm on Friday, January 10th.

Prime Minister, Commissioner, Ministers,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you first of all for the invitation to talk here today, so close to Tampere, where agreement was reached on the process of drafting the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The comments made by Cecilia Malmström on the importance of fighting corruption are very timely, and it is promising that, as she noted, legislation has been passed, institutions set up and strategies created to counter corrupt practices in many EU countries, corruption profoundly undermines fundamental rights. I also concur with Prime Minister Katainen when he says that the European Commission's proposed new Framework to strengthen the rule of law is a step in the right direction. It's an important step.
Fundamental rights achievements
The EU has achieved a great deal in the area of fundamental rights. We have strong anti-discrimination legislation and the infringement procedures that ensure EU law is respected and implemented. First and foremost, though, we have the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which became a binding document when the Lisbon Treaty entered into effect. The Charter strengthens the protection of fundamental rights not only because it is a legally binding document, but also by making those rights more visible to EU citizens and thereby more accessible – a fact we also see if we look at the case law of both the EU and national courts.
Fundamental rights challenges
However, despite all the progress we have made in the EU over the last decades in emphasising the importance of human rights, many fundamental rights challenges remain. For example:
- The ongoing debates over the right to privacy and data protection, as illustrated by the recent decision from the European Court of Justice on the retention directive
- Threats to social and economic rights, such as access to health and education
- The rise of extremism and populism throughout Europe, which in particular target ethnic and sexual minorities, and finally
- The undermining of key components of the rule of law system in some EU countries
Rule of Law -> Article 2 TEU
The rule of law is a vital topic for us to be debating in Europe today but I will expand this discussion slightly.
Throughout the rule of law debate, there has been frequent mention of Article 2 of the Treaty of European Union. However, rule of law is only one of a number of values mentioned in Article 2. So while the proposed 'EU framework to strengthen the rule of law' is an important step, we need to go further. We need to put the rule of law alongside the other Article 2 values – respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality and respect for human rights – and discuss how they can fit into a broader approach to ensure respect for all fundamental rights.
Given the fact that the Charter of Fundamental Rights covers close to all the values set out in Article 2, Member States and EU institutions could consider complementing the rule of law framework launched by the Commission with a strategic fundamental rights framework.
In May last year, the Council of the EU called for consensus on how to protect fundamental rights and promote the rule of law, putting seven points on the table to guide the debate that stressed all proposals needed to:
- be inclusive in terms of relevant bodies and participation of civil society
- be based on an agreed understanding of the problems to be addressed and methods applied
- guarantee full synergy and avoid overlaps, especially with the Council of Europe
- identify the EU's added value of action
- consider the full range of possible avenues and seek consensus amongst Member States
- be based on transparency and equality
- aim at real positive impact on the lives of ordinary people.
The last point should rightly have been the first.
Strategic fundamental rights framework: added value
A strategic fundamental rights framework would be in a position to accommodate most, if not indeed all, of the points I have just mentioned. And it would have three elements of added value that we don't have at present:
- It could enable a more including and substantial reading of the rule of law, covering all fundamental rights in which the EU undoubtedly plays a role and has much to offer in terms of standards and procedures
- It could ensure a more inclusive process by involving all relevant players, from the European Commission, through the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, to other relevant EU bodies and other national-level institutions such as national parliaments, bodies with a human rights remit and civil society
- It would not only address the behaviour of EU Member States, but also placing an emphasis on the EU's own performance in terms of upholding the rule of law and safeguarding fundamental rights. It is important that the EU strategic framework starts with the EU itself, including the way EU law is created.
Strategic fundamental rights framework: content
Many elements would be needed to create such a strategic framework. For now, let me highlight two elements that could contribute to make it workable.
Firstly, an EU fundamental rights policy cycle would supply the procedural basis that brings all human rights actors together, helping to focus their work and assist in creating synergies between the key actors at European and national level. Because it is vital that we make use of the experiences of individual Member States to feed into EU-level policy developments. We therefore need input from governments and national parliaments, as well as ombudsmen, NHRIs and equality bodies, and civil society.
Secondly, we need to develop fundamental rights indicators in order to ensure progress on the substantive aspects of the framework. Such indicators would also permit an assessment of fundamental rights legislation and policies, and their practical effects on the lives of ordinary people. The indicators would be organised in a systematic framework, such as that applied by FRA, building on the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. A system of indicators would not replace a thorough contextualisation and detailed analysis, but rather indicate concerns that need to be examined in more detail. In a peer review or another process.
FRA's potential role
Ladies and gentlemen,
I would like now to dwell briefly on the ways in which FRA could contribute to the aspects of the strategic framework on fundamental rights I have just mentioned.
- In terms of the policy cycle: the Fundamental Rights Agency could assist in collecting and systematising the plethora of data that is already regularly submitted to and analysed by European and global bodies, thereby giving more visibility and efficiency to what is already out there in terms of standards, data collection and normative assessment.
Indeed, such 'a one stop shop' would allow the Agency to draw up an annual report that synthesises the most important findings of the various data and analysis available, including its own comparative studies and surveys.
- Such a report could use the indicators agreed on beforehand together with Member States. This would mean the methodology applied would result in a broad consensus for an annual peer review amongst EU Member States, as well as the EU institutions.
Debating and agreeing on indicators, discussing findings of an objective and impartial annual report and exchanging promising practices could create a truly European fundamental rights culture based on a shared desire to respect and protect the values enshrined in Article 2 of the EU Treaty.
To conclude:
As you can see from the points I have made today, we already have numerous tools at our disposal: we do not need to start from scratch. What we do need, however, is a joined-up approach, in which different mechanisms and institutions active in the area of fundamental rights cooperate more closely and efficiently.
Forming an internal EU framework for fundamental rights that mirrors the existing external fundamental rights framework would send a strong signal to the outside world. It would demonstrate beyond all doubt that the EU and its Member States are prepared to 'walk their talk', increasing the coherence between the Union's internal practices and external procedures.
As we have already said many times during our discussions today, rule of law is crucial if our democracies are to flourish, and citizens with them and let's recall that the rule of law is profoundly anchored in Fundamental Rights.
Thank you.

With the passing of May 1st, we have officially started training for the 2013-14 season and the Sochi Olympic Winter Games. While May 1st traditionally marks the beginning of the training year, this does not mean that we are allowed to be too lazy during April! In fact, I did some type of training nearly every day during April, but I did not have to follow any strict training schedule.
I stayed quite busy during our "off season" with lots of alpine skiing, a vacation to the Bahamas, a short trip to LA and of course the annual spring home improvement projects. While it's important to have some type of physical recovery in April, I find it almost more crucial to have a solid mental break during this time. After 11 months on a detailed day-to-day schedule, it's vital for me to have a relaxing break where I can recharge the batteries for the coming season.
Every spring I try to do some type of adventure vacation where I can truly get away from sport for at least a week. After spending the previous months on snow, I normally look for someplace warm where skiing will not even be an option. In the past I have explored Puerto Rico, sailed in the British Virgin Islands and this year I decided on the Abacos Islands in the Bahamas. I always thought of the Bahamas as a more overdeveloped tourist destination, but that Abacos definitely proved my wrong. I spent nine days exploring the different islands of the Abacos and I was pleasantly surprised just how remote and quiet these islands were. They proved to be the perfect location for me to relax and recover for the training year ahead. My other reason for choosing the Abacos was for the famed fly-fishing opportunities. Unfortunately, I caught more sunburns than fish, but I did manage to at least catch a few!
I returned home for a few days after my vacation and then headed out to LA for a NBC/USOC media shoot. This was my second time at this event and it proved just as memorable as the first. The day is filled with various television interviews and photo/video shoots that will be used in the buildup to and during the Sochi Olympics. In case I had forgotten, I was quickly reminded that it is an Olympic year when I arrived in LA and was forced to go through hair and makeup before the interviews. The last time that I was subjected to this was before the Vancouver Games! After my initial trauma from the makeup room wore off, I enjoyed the rest of my day in LA. It's always interesting for me to get a chance to do something that is so totally different than what I normally do in my day-to-day life. I was shocked to find myself nearly more fatigued after 10 hours of interviews than a normal day of training.
I am currently in Lake Placid getting back into my normal training routine. No matter how fit I try and stay during April, I am always surprised at how sore I get after the first few days back on the normal training schedule. After another week of training here, the team will head out to Bend, Ore. for the first official training camp of the year. We go to Bend to take advantage of the great spring skiing conditions on Mt. Bachelor. This year in Bend we will also put a big emphasis on testing equipment for next season. Spring conditions at Mt. Bachelor can vary from cold, compact snow to wet and deep. These varying conditions will give us a valuable opportunity to test in some of the different conditions that we might encounter in Sochi.
Now I'm headed back to the ice bath to try and recover for my next workout! Thanks for checking in.

Harvard hosts Stanford on Wednesday looking for its second straight win (Gil Talbot).
The Storyline
The Harvard women's lacrosse team is seeking its second straight win as it hosts Stanford Wednesday, March 28 at 4 p.m. in Harvard Stadium. The Crimson is 2-2 all-time against the Cardinal, despite dropping an 18-17 affair last season at Stanford.
A live video stream and live stats will be available during Wednesday's contest through GoCrimson.com.
Last Time Out
The Crimson picked up its second straight win over Yale on Saturday with a 7-5 victory in New Haven, Conn. Harvard scored all seven of its goals in the first half and went into the intermission on top, 7-0.
Melanie Baskind and Micaela Cyr led Harvard on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field as each tallied two goals and two ground balls. Jennifer VanderMeulen recorded one goal, one assist and one draw control while Mariel Jenkins registered a game-high three ground balls. Kelly Weis made seven saves in goal to pick up the victory. Harvard's five goals allowed were the fewest since allowing just three goals in a 19-3 win over the Bulldogs last season.
Harvard owned an 8-6 advantage in draw controls and was successful on 12-of-17 clear attempts. Yale, however, outshot the Crimson 25-21 and went 11-of-12 in clears.
Scouting the Cardinal
Stanford fell to 2-5 on the year after suffering a 14-9 loss at Brown on Sunday. The Cardinal opened the season with three straight losses and has gone 2-2 in its last four games.
Emilie (15g, 12a) and Anna Boeri (14g, 4a) lead the Stanford attack with 27 points and 18 points, respectively. Caroline Bradley has collected a team-high 14 ground balls while Catherine Swanson has notched 21 draw controls and 12 ground balls. Lyndsey Munoz has played every minute in goal for the Cardinal, posting a 2-5 overall record with a 14.86 goals against average and a .339 save percentage.
Harvard is 2-2 all-time against Stanford and Wednesday's contest will mark the second straight year the teams have played. The Crimson opened the series with a pair of wins over the Cardinal, but Stanford has won the last two meetings, including an 18-17 affair last season. Danielle Tetreault scored a game-high six goals in the loss while Kerry Clark came away with nine saves in goal.
Ivy League Honors
Freshman Kelly Weis was named the Ivy League's Defensive Player of the Week on March 26, marking the second time this season the award has gone to the Crimson. Weis totaled 15 saves while allowing just 12 goals in a 1-1 week for Harvard. She tallied eight saves in the team's 7-5 loss to Boston College on Wednesday before making seven stops in a 7-5 win at Yale. Harvard's five goals allowed against the Bulldogs were the fewest for the team since its 19-3 win over Yale last year.
Melanie Baskind was named defensive player of the week on Feb. 27 after scoring three goals and collecting five ground balls in the team's season opening 11-9 win over Boston University. Baskind was the first Crimson to earn the award since Kathryn Tylander ?08 took home the honor on March 4, 2008.
Former Crimson Named Finalists for National Lacrosse Hall of Fame
Harvard alumnae Sarah (Downing) Nelson '94 and Maggie Vaughan '90 are among the 12 finalists on the 2012 National Lacrosse Hall of Fame women's ballot. Vaughan helped Harvard to the program's first NCAA Championship in 1990 and was a four-time Ivy League champion, while Nelson was a two-time Ivy League champion and a three-time All-Ivy honoree. Click here to read the full story.
Getting Defensive
Harvard has held five of its seven opponents to under 10 goals this season, including four of its last five. The Crimson ranks 13th in the NCAA having allowed just 9.0 goals per game, which would stand as the team's lowest goals against average since 2008 (the last year complete stats are available).
Nail Biters
Harvard's last five games have been decided by a total of seven goals, with three of those games being decided by a one-goal margin. The Crimson has played in 15 one-goal games under head coach Lisa Miller and sports a 7-8 record.
Overtime Thrillers
The Crimson went to overtime against both No. 13 James Madison and No. 9/10 Penn, marking the first time in program history that Harvard has played in back-to-back overtime games. Harvard is 5-5 all-time in overtime games and has never gone to overtime more than twice in a season.
Between the Pipes
Freshman Kelly Weis has made all seven starts in goal for the Crimson this season, and ranks 15th in the NCAA with an 8.55 goals against average. Her .466 save percentage is 24th-best in the country while her 8.0 saves per game is good for 37th.
Weis made 10 saves while helping the Crimson to a 9-8 double-overtime victory over No. 13 James Madison on March 6, matching Kerry Clark's total of 10 saves against Virginia last season for the most stops by a Harvard goalie since Katherine Martino '10 recorded 12 in a 17-9 win over Boston College on May 5, 2010. Weis has made at least eight saves in four games this season.
Sharing the Wealth
Nine different Crimson have scored a goal in 2012 with seven having scored at least four. Melanie Baskind leads the way with 12 goals, while Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault have found the back of the net 11 times. Jennifer VanderMeulen boasts seven goals with Jess Halpern having recorded six.
Harvard had 13 different goal scorers last season with VanderMeulen (48), Tetreault (42), Halpern (29), Baskind (28), Petropulos (14) and Chelsea Newman (10) each scoring at least 10.
Two Way Players
Midfielders Melanie Baskind, Micaela Cyr and Danielle Tetreault have led the Crimson on both the offensive and defensive ends of the field in 2012. Tetreault (11g, 4a) has recorded a team-high 15 points while Baskind (12g, 1a) and Cyr (11g) rank second and third with 13 points and 11 points, respectively. Baskind's 16 ground balls are tops on the team with Cyr's 12 placing her second, while Tetreault has won a team-high 15 draw controls. Cyr also leads the Crimson with five caused turnovers.
National Prominence
Harvard has bounced around the national rankings this season, coming in as high as No. 15 in the Preseason DeBeer Media Poll. The Crimson spent a total of three weeks in the media poll, and has received voted in four of the seven IWLCA Coaches Polls.

To Be the Best, You Have to Beat the Best
Harvard has knocked off a top 20 opponent in each of the last four seasons, with James Madison, then ranked 13th in the IWLCA Coaches Poll, becoming its latest victim via a 9-8 double-overtime triumph on March 6. The Crimson will have plenty more opportunities to knock off one of the premier teams in the nation this season, as 10 of the team's opponents have been ranked in either the deBeer Media Poll or the IWLCA Preseason Coaches Poll including Boston College, Cornell, Dartmouth, James Madison, John's Hopkins, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, Syracuse, and Virginia.
Climbing the Charts
Senior Jess Halpern and junior Jennifer VanderMeulen currently rank among Harvard's all-time top 10 goal scorers. Halpern has netted 117 career goals, good for seventh in program history, while her 139 points place her ninth in the school record books. VanderMeulen, meanwhile, ranks eighth with 111 goals in just 38 games and boasts 127 points. Her 56 goals scored in 2010 rank fifth on the Crimson's single-season list.
In the News
Harvard was featured by Lacrosse Magazine's Clare Lochary on March 14 in her column, 'Surprise Upsets Continue in WD1.' Lochary broke down the Crimson's double-overtime win over No. 13 James Madison and detailed its importance to the Crimson's development under head coach Lisa Miller.

Tewaaraton Award Watch List
Junior's Jennifer VanderMeulen and Danielle Tetreault were named to the 2012 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, which is comprised of the top 50 women's lacrosse student-athletes from all three divisions of collegiate lacrosse. VanderMeulen and Tetreault are the latest Crimson to be put up for the prestigious award, after current teammates Jess Halpern and Micaela Cyr were nominated in 2010 and 2011, respectively.
VanderMeulen is coming off a season in which she was named to the Synapse Sports All-America second team, IWLCA All-Region first team and All-Ivy League first team after ranking 18th in the NCAA in goals per game (3.0) and 30th in goals (48). She currently ranks 10th in program history with 104 career goals, while her 56 scores in 2010 rank fifth on Harvard's single-season list.
Tetreault was a first team all-region and second team all-Ivy selection a year ago, and ranked 31st in the nation with 2.63 goals per game. Tetreault boasts 62 career goals, 17 assists and 79 points in 31 career games.
Captaining the Ship
Seniors Melanie Baskind, Ellen Gleason and Tyler Petropulos were voted by their teammates as captains for the 2012 season. Baskind and Petropulos also served as captains last season, making them just the sixth and seventh student-athletes in program history to be voted captain in consecutive seasons. Carroll Clark '92 was the first to do so when she captained both the 1991 and 1992 squads, and was followed by Daphne Clark '97 (1996 & 1997), Ali Harper '01 (2000 & 2001), Lauren Bobzin '08 (2007 & 2008) and Sara Flood '10 (2009 & 2010). This is just the sixth time in program history three Crimson had been chosen to lead the team.
Two-Sport Star Baskind Featured by New England Lacrosse Journal
Senior Melanie Baskind, who captains both the women's lacrosse and women's soccer teams and is an All-Ivy League honoree in both sports, was recently featured by Sammi Gorman of the New England Lacrosse Journal.
"In the city of Boston - a breeding ground for both star athletes and top students at some of the world's best academic institutions - Melanie Baskind is different.
"She's not the only student with a 3.8 grade-point average as a neurobiology major at a top school like Harvard, and she's not the only athlete to get league Player of the Year honors in her sport. She is the only one to do those things and be a threat to earn those kind of honors in two sports."

Historical Perspective
Harvard captured the program's first national championship in 1990 when it defeated Maryland, 8-7. The Crimson won four games that season by a single goal en route to a 15-0 record, with Jenny Walser '90 scoring the game winner in three of those four games, including the national title contest. Julia French '90, Charlotte Joslin '90 and Maggie Vaughan '90 were named first team All-America following the season while Susan Carls '91 and Karen Everling '90 were named to the second team. Four-year letterwinners Everling, French and Walser graduated with a career record of 50-8-1, including a perfect 23-0 mark in the Ivy League.
The Crimson has made a total of nine NCAA Tournament appearances and has reached the national championship game three times. Harvard has also won 11 Ivy League Championships, tied with Dartmouth for the most in conference history.

Factors effective in influencing on the hearts
Ayatullah al-`Uzma al-Hajj ash-Shaykh Nasir Makarim Shirazi
Seeking excellence in discussion or dispute and fussing
In the Islamic instructions, it is highly emphasized on the manner of discussion with people, especially with ignorant and low knowledge people, and the discussions which do not have any "fact seeking aspect" are prohibited under the title of "dispute and fussing". Even in some cases, discussion is absolutely forbidden.
Holy Qur'an says: And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better. (29:46)
And somewhere else it says: And reason with them in the better way (16:125)
In the above two verses, the discussions lacking "fairer manner" and "better way" are prohibited. They are the same discussions having a sympathetic aspect and accompanied with kindness, courtesy, compassion, and do not leave any ill or negative effect on the other party.
Even in some cases, God officially instructs His Prophet (S) to choose silence against the aggression of opponents, and absolutely avoid the discussions, the end of which is dispute and obstinacy.
And if they wrangle with thee, say: Allah is Best Aware of what ye do. (22:68)
In the several traditions, discussion is prohibited through different subtle interpretations disclosing a series of mental points: The Prophet (S) said: Avoid dispute because its wisdom is not understood and there is no security against its sedition.1
And he said: No one fulfills the reality of belief, unless he leaves dispute, although he is right.2
Solomon, son of David, told to his son: My son! Avoid dispute because it has no profit and provokes the fire of enmity among the brothers.3
Prophet (S) said: no nation strays after guidance, save it engages in dispute.4
Commander of the Believers (Imam Ali) (A.S.) said: O Komeil! Avoid fussing because in this way you impassion the ignorant against yourself, and destroy brotherhood.5
The ill effects of discussions mixed with dispute and aggression are precisely studied in the above traditions and it is inferred from them that:
1- Dispute in discussion is useless, and it has no result (because hurting affections of the other party causes him to resist).
2- Dispute is not compatible with belief (because it is the sign of arrogance and seeking excellence, and arrogance is never compatible with belief, the sense of which is submission and surrender to the truth).
3- Dispute results in sedition and attracting enmity and hostility (because everyone is sensitive and strict for ruining of his personality).
4- Dispute causes misguide (because it excites the sense of obstinacy, selfishness, and prejudice and thereby covers the visage of truth).
5- If dispute is made with the ignorant, it encourages them to violate the reverence of one's personality and makes them insolent to him (because when they find their reputation in risk, they will ignore the reverence, which they observed before the learned in normal conditions).
For salvation from such great dangers, Islam instructs to avoid discussions and talks having an aggressive, hostile and eristic aspect, and even do not apply this way for proving the truth.
Stopping selfishness
One, who wants to influence on the spirit and thoughts of others, should never insist them to accept the realities as "an idea belonging to him". Rather, in contrary, he shall try to express the realities absolutely and even as the idea of the other party. Pay attention!
As we know everybody loves his ideas like his physical children, and the reason for love and interest in both cases is the same. His ideas are considered as a part of him just like his children, and loving them forms a beam of self-love, which is the most rooted man's instinct. And in contrast, the thoughts of others are strange to man like the others' children, and naturally fail to attract his interest, and even sometimes they provoke his competition sense.
Therefore, accepting the realities the way of attainment to which is through the man's own mind, is much easier and favourable for him. Because in such cases "intellect" and "affection" are situated in one direction and in contrary, if they are entered to his soul as a strange thing, a contradiction and struggle occurs between his "intellect" and "affection", the result of which in the most individuals is victory of affection. Intellect tends to accept it as it is true, but affection finds it strange and belonging to someone else, and refrains accepting it.
It is noteworthy that if our real purpose is fact seeking and not personal victory in the discussion, it is better to pretend that the idea or its completion belongs to the other party not to us. If our aim is acceptance of an idea, why shall we insist on it being accepted as "our own idea"?
Several trials being performed on the individuals have exactly proved that applying this method for penetration into the thoughts of others has been successful. Basically, for achievement to this goal following principles should be observed:
1- It should be tried to say a part of the matter, and the other party shall perceive the rest of it with guidance of the speaker. In fact, the speaker should play the role of a mental leader for manifestation of innate talents of the other party, not the role of an independent being.
2- It should be tried to propound the matters as discussions under study through mentioning questions and queries, and the other party should make the final reply as the final decision.
3- It should be strictly avoided to attribute matters to oneself, particularly with the phrases like "no one has mentioned this before me", and such like.
4- If there are clarifications or references in the utterances of the other party in respect to the matter in question, it should be explicitly remarked and mentioned as a proof. Even if it exists in the utterance of those being respected and loved by the other party, like his father, master, family, or intimate friend, it should be remarked.
Holy Qur'an, which is a superior symbol of influential and effective speech and its influence on people's thought, has been so wonderful that some have called it as a "magic", often applies this method in its arguments before the adversaries and self deluded persons in the phrases like:
Is there any Allah beside Allah? (27:61)
Who is the god besides Allah? (28:72)
There is no Allah save Him. (35:3)
And also the phrases such as: Have they not travelled in the land, and have they hearts wherewith to feel and ears wherewith to hear? (22:46)
It stipulates different issues and leaves final judgment on the burden of the hearers and seeks help from their own conscience in solving the issues.
Provoking positive affections
As it was also referred to in the previous discussion, one shall always try to avoid confliction of intellect and affections in two opposite parts. Rather, he shall attempt to orient the affections in the same direction of intellect for supporting intellect's attraction power just like the power of moon in low and high tide, which is sometimes supported by sun's gravitation for being in the same direction, and for attainment to this purpose, following methods should be applied in a bid to provoke affections.
1- Name of everybody is the most favourable word and most harmonic song for him. So one shall call him respectfully with his name for provoking his affections, and if he has several names, the most interested and respectful name should be selected. We have read in the traditions a man should be called with his "nickname"6. (Nickname is the most respectful name with Arabs).
It is also narrated in respect to tempers of Prophet (S) that he called everybody with his best name and even selected an appropriate nickname for those lacking any nickname.
2- First, an opportunity should be granted to the others for saying their utterances, and one shall carefully listen to what they say. This shows that one is really seeking for the fact, and moreover, he is also sympathetic and assumes respect and reputation for the other party. Each of these aspects has an effective share in provoking one's positive affections.
On other hand, naturally everyone focuses all of his power in expression of his idea and arguments, and only intends to divulge what is in his mind, and surely in this condition, he does not have any readiness for acceptance of others. So, expressing our own matters and arguments before his complete evacuation is just like seeding in a thorny and brushy land.
It often happens that individuals have some complexes, which are opened, through expressing them, and then they are changed to normal individuals for hearing the truth. We read about Prophet (S) and leaders of right guidance (A.S.) that they granted an opportunity to the other parties for speaking.
3- Expressing desire to what the other party likes, and speaking about those who have a significant share in provoking the individual's affections. We read about Prophet (S) that sometimes when he was alone with some of his companions, he asked them about their family concerns and wife and children and whatever they liked.
4- The admirable or acceptable parts of utterance of the other party should be remarked so that his soul will become ready for accepting weak points and mistakes of the others.
5- Practical sympathy, in its real sense, is one of the most critical factors in provoking affections of others and making their mental condition ready for acceptance of fundamental matters. If they observe a real sympathy from the speaker, they may accept his arguments even if they are not completely acceptable for them, and make themselves understood that his comments are correct and any of his proposals is beneficial for them.
One of the reasons for wonderful welcome from the speeches of Prophet (S) was this point that everybody recognized him as his real sympathetic one so that non acceptance of the right way by some people appeared in the Prophet (S) as fatal complexes: Yet it may be, if they believe not in this statement, that thou (Muhammad) wilt torment thy soul with grief over their footsteps. (18:6)
And we read in respect to the biography of Prophet (S): Whoever came to him, either a freeman or slave and bondmaid, he accompanied him (her) and helped him in his work.7
6- The way of reminding mistakes should be so that if the affections of the other party are not provoked in the favour of speaker, at least they should not be hurt, and thereby the mistakes should be minded indirectly as far as possible.
The phrases like "Don't you think that this is better?", "Isn't it better to do so?", "I sometimes do so", and such like are all phrases which could be used for reminding the mistakes indirectly.
7- We shall never provoke obstinacy sense of someone unduly, and if he insists on a matter which is not the main issue of discussion or criticizes it, we shall coordinate ourselves with him correctly in the criticism or supporting and defending it instead of opposition. This makes the other party disarmed and invites him to more reflection.
For instance, if we what to invite someone to Islam, and find that he has a negative idea about the Muslims and their situation and insists on it, we shall not defend the situation of Muslims so much. Rather, we too shall coordinate ourselves with him and mention some basic criticisms (of course, without exaggeration and indulgence) and then follow our main issue. Certainly, we will be more successful.
Belief in one's own speech
The well-known phrase, "The utterance coming from the heart, will be accepted heartily" indicates a precise and subtle mental reality, which could be used in the ways of influencing on the others as a vital principle.
As we know tongue and speech is the interpreter of mind and idea and also the scale of speaker's own belief determines evaluation of speeches.
It is not surprising that degree of belief of a hearer to an utterance has a close relation with the degree of belief of the speaker. One may say something apparently very excellent and good, but when his tone shows that he does not believe in it so much, it causes the hearer to doubt in the correctness of that issue. In contrary, if a subject is not very acceptable, but there are the evidences of his decisive belief in it, this provokes the curiosity and precision towards it, and makes them optimistic to that speech.
This too is noteworthy that not believing in a matter could not be totally hidden with mannered utterances, especially in speech that against most deeds, is full of delicacies through which spirit of emotions and mind of speaker will be manifested willingly or not.
Observing one's own speech is one of the important factors for its influence because it is possible that the utterance does not indicate the belief, but one's action is mostly the sign of belief.
Effect of virtue of the speaker
It is said: Do not consider the speaker; rather consider his (her) utterance.
But its full observance is not possible for anybody, because everybody assumes the speech as the product of speaker's being. In view of material tools, speech is the same transformation in man's energies. Chemical energy is transformed into mechanical energy in the cells and mechanical energy to acoustic energy.
And in view of spiritual contents and materials, it is the product of thoughts, education, environment, knowledge, attributes, and spiritual states.
Thus, any speech has the same colour of its speaker, and carries the speaker's attributes, either his spirituality or his ugly and bad attributes, and on this account, when an utterance is issued by a virtuous individual, all windows of human spirit are opened to it, and all existence of man receives it.
And in contrast, a speech uttered by an impure and evil person faces with the unconscious negative reaction of the hearer, and the windows of his spirit are closed to it.

Jupiter magnetic titanium bracelet have powerful Neodymium Magnets (not Samarium Cobalt magnets), and stainless steel split pins between the links. The magnets are covered with ceramic strength black epoxy for smooth and first class finish.
About Titanium Magnetic Bracelets
Titanium have four main advantages over other metals used in jewellery:
1. It is light (Titanium is lighter than similar strength stainless steel).
2. The compatibility of the Titanium with the human body make titanium magnetic bracelets the best choice for those people who have very sensitive skin and may develop allergic reactions to other metals in jewellery.
3. Titanium responds very little to electricity, heat and magnets, making it the perfect metal use in magnetic bracelet.
4. Titanium forms protective surface layers, which gives it excellent resistance to corrosive attacks by saltwater, sea air and certain acids, and it is capable of being submerged in water for long periods of time without sustaining damage or colour change.
Used in titanium magnetic bracelets, the metal is a lustrous, silver-grey metallic element. Because of its high tensile strength, light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, TITANIUM is used widely in aircraft industry. However, please note that our titanium bracelets are not the same quality (Titanium Alloy) that is being used in the aircraft and aerospace industry. They are made of Surgical Titanium Grade, which are used in medical devices such as implants, heart valves and so on.
The above characteristics of Titanium means that they are perfect for use in magnetic bracelets for the active person. Magnetic therapy titanium bracelet is the solution that many people that lead active life style are looking for magnetic bracelets that will not be a hinder. The magnetic titanium bracelets are most sought after by golfers, who want to have a magnetic bracelet that may not effect their swing as any stainless steel magnetic bracelet. Titanium magnetic bracelets will be an indispensable addition to any golfers equipment, as well as for everybody who wish to wear a magnetic therapy bracelet but fear the weight may be of inconvenience.
The mysterious, magic-like powers of magnetism was always intriguing. It appears the salvation for those seeking better relief than drugs can give them or looking to treat their illness and pain without medication.
But is magnetic therapy a genuinely effective treatment, or is it simply a manipulation of the consumer's mind by slick marketing and promises that don't hold up. Some experiments investigating the effects of magnetic therapy on the human body have been conducted in the last few years, trying to determine the possible benefits of the use of magnets. The pros and cons discovered by the research are being used frequently by both those that convinced by magnetic therapy and those believe it do not help.
We have been selling magnetic bracelets since 2006. We received many emails from buyers telling us that our magnetic bracelets have helped them in medical conditions (We keep all those emails with full details in case the UK authorities will ask for proof for this claim). It may be anecdotal testimonial that must not be consider as a claim for improving or treating medical conditions, but those testimonials surely have some weight in the subject.
Many of those who believe that magnetic therapy cannot in some medical conditions, including pain relief, ignoring one question that we would like to put forward: If you suffer from medical conditions that the conventional medicine could not resolve: Should you not try magnetic jewellery? Now that you can find magnetic bracelets and other magnetic jewellery and magnetic therapy in the UK for such low prices and great service, with an amazing Return Policy, can you really afford not to try?

Every day, we're exposed to tens of thousands of untested chemicals used in common household products—from carpets to computers, to furniture and even our clothes—with virtually NO government protection. We're left vulnerable to chemicals tied to cancer, infertility, diabetes, Parkinson's, and other diseases.
But Sen. Casey refuses to leave you unprotected, and has cosponsored a new chemical safety bill, which is our best chance in a generation to protect our health by bringing our nation's main chemical safety law into the 21st century.
Thank Senator Casey for protecting us by cosponsoring the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act.
Thank you for cosponsoring the Frank R. Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act
Dear [Decision Maker],
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

KQED 9: Tue, Mar 17, 2015 -- 1:30 PM
This program celebrates the centennial of the oldest (and smallest) ballpark in America. Using a Red Sox/Yankees game as a thread, the film tells the story of Fenway's long history as a venue for sports and as a public space; masses for WWI soldiers, a 1918 Irish Republican rally, FDR's last presidential campaign speech, concerts by Bruce Springsteen and others. In 1999, it looked as if Fenway would be razed to make way for a new ballpark. Luckily, wiser heads prevailed and Boston's most popular attraction (more tourists visit Fenway than the Freedom Trail) survived.

Diabetes: 10 Deadliest Myths
10 Deadly Myths about Diabetes
More than 24 million Americans have diabetes, and many people who have the disease don't know it.
What can be done to reduce the risk of this devastating illness, which can lead to heart attack, stroke, blindness, and amputations? Quite a bit, says diabetes expert
Dr. Neal Barnard
, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. The key, he says, is not to fall victim to common myths about the disease. Here are 10 of the worst.
Myth: Diabetes Doesn't Run in My Family, So I'm Safe
Many people develop diabetes despite the fact that they have no family history of the disease. Heredity certainly plays a role, but studies involving identical twins show it is not the only factor.
When one twin has type 1 diabetes, the other has a fifty-fifty chance of having it, too. For type 2 diabetes, twins are more likely to share the diagnosis - the odds of the second twin having it can be as high as 75 percent. But even then, the reason may be that their diets and weight gain are similar.
Bottom line? To minimize your risk for diabetes, you need to exercise and watch what you eat no matter what your family history is.
Myth: Diabetes Is Caused by Eating Carbohydrates
Diabetes is least common in the population groups whose diets emphasize carbohydrates. Take Japan, where rice is a traditional staple. Prior to 1980, fewer than 5 percent of the adult population there had diabetes. But once fast food and meat started to displace rice, diabetes became much more prevalent. By 1990 the prevalence of diabetes in Japan had doubled.
In the U.S., the risk for type 2 diabetes is highest among frequent meat-eaters. Vegans have the lowest risk, and other groups (semi-vegetarians, fish-eaters, and lacto-ovo-vegetarians) are in between.
The real problem seems to be not carbohydrates, but fatty foods.
Myth: I'm Not Fat, So I Won't Get Diabetes
Staying slim cuts the risk dramatically, but thin people can certainly develop diabetes. The condition arises when the cells in the body become resistant to insulin, the hormone that escorts blood sugar (glucose) into cells. Doctors think insulin resistance is caused by the build-up of microscopic fat droplets inside cells - especially muscle cells and fat cells. This can occur even in someone who has little belly or hip fat.
Luckily, the same dietary steps that reduce belly fat and hip fat also help prevent the build-up of fat inside cells.
Myth: Diet Has Nothing to Do with Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 diabetes is caused by antibodies - tiny biological "torpedoes" that under normal circumstances are produced by the body to fight invading bacteria and viruses. Diabetes results when, in the body's version of "friendly fire," antibodies attack the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.
What turns antibodies against the pancreas? One theory is that certain viral infections are to blame. But another possible culprit is cow's milk. Researchers are now exploring whether avoiding cow's milk early in life can help prevent diabetes.
Human milk is no problem. Studies have shown that breast-fed children are much less likely to develop diabetes than children fed milk-based formula.
Myth: Only Adults Get Type 2 Diabetes
At one time, type 2 diabetes was called "adult-onset" diabetes. But more and more cases are showing up in children, likely the result of poor dietary habits and the childhood obesity epidemic.
Myth: Gestational Diabetes Is a Problem Only for Pregnant Women
It's true that gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy and disappears when you are no longer pregnant. But doctors now know that women who have had gestational diabetes are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes later on.
Women should take gestational diabetes very seriously - and make the same sorts of dietary changes that help prevent type 2 diabetes.
CBS/The Early Show
Myth: Diabetes Is Irreversible
Conventional wisdom long held that once someone developed diabetes, he/she would have it forever. But with the advent of gastric bypass surgery, it became clear that extreme weight loss could reverse some cases of type 2 diabetes.
In 2009, the American Diabetes Association endorsed a new dietary approach to treating diabetes - one that focuses on low-fat, vegan (pure vegetarian) eating. Many people have found that this approach leads to significant weight loss and sometimes to the disappearance of signs of diabetes.
Of course, going back to poor eating habits is likely to cause diabetes to come roaring back.
Myth: Diabetics Must Avoid Carbs
Actually, carbohydrates are essential for good health, and people who eat plenty of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans - all carbohydrate-rich foods - control their diabetes better than people who eat fattier diets.
The key is to know the difference between foods that contain lots of "good" carbs and those rich in "bad" carbs. One way to do this is to use the glycemic index, a rating system that indicates how much a given food affects blood sugar. Foods with low (healthy) glycemic index values include beans, pasta, yams, sweet potatoes, green vegetables, barley, and fresh fruit. '
White bread, white potatoes, and sugar have high glycemic index values and tend to cause blood sugar to rise.
Myth: Drugs Are as Effective as Diet at Controlling Diabetes
Medications can be essential, even life-saving. But they cannot bring about the weight loss that is needed for really tackling diabetes and keeping blood sugar under control. And while medications usually target one problem at a time - blood glucose or cholesterol, for example - a healthy diet tackles all of these at once.
Diet and lifestyle are especially important for preventing diabetes. Recently, scientists tested two methods for preventing type 2 diabetes in at-risk people. Diet and exercise proved more powerful for prevent diabetes than drug treatments.
Myth: Diabetes Drugs Are Mostly Free of Side Effects
One of the most popular diabetes drugs, Avandia, has been in the news a lot lately. That's because it's been associated with heart problems. But all diabetes medications have side effects.
Metformin, the oral drug most often used as a first line of defense against type 2 diabetes, often causes digestive symptoms. Other drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes cause weight gain - which is unfortunate, since being overweight is a common problem among people with type 2 diabetes. Insulin injections present the same annoying problem.
This doesn't mean that people shouldn't take diabetes medications. But It does emphasize the need for diet and lifestyle approaches that can minimize the need for medicines.

BOULDER, CO - October 30, 2006
Webroot Software, Inc., the leading provider of anti–spyware software for consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today announced the availability of Spy Sweeper™ with AntiVirus. Developed specifically for consumers seeking an effective, yet easy–to–use program to protect their PCs from the two most damaging types of Internet threats, Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus integrates best–of–breed anti–virus technology from Sophos? into Webroot's award–winning line of Spy Sweeper anti–spyware products.
Webroot customers can now enjoy a single, easy–to–use interface that is simple to install, provides clear and concise instructions, offers users combined spyware and virus sweep and quarantine options and is backed by an in–house customer support team at no additional charge. Webroot has also engineered Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus to deliver optimal system performance by utilizing the smallest memory footprint possible.
"Our customers have been asking us to develop an anti–virus solution that provides the same level of superior protection offered by our Spy Sweeper products. At the same time, our in–house threat research teams have begun to notice that the defining lines between spyware and viruses are growing increasingly blurred," said C. David Moll, CEO of Webroot Software. "With the introduction of Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus, we are confident that we are providing our customers with the most advanced protection against the most dangerous types of Internet threats. With the unique combination of superior anti–virus and anti–spyware protection in a single streamlined product, we are giving our customers everything they need and nothing they don't."

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. Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus downloads the latest spyware and virus definitions daily to ensure constant protection without any action required by users.
Installation of Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus is easy and quick, allowing users to simply "set it and forget it". Customers can choose from three sweep options: (1) Quick Sweep offers a light sweep that is quick and easy, (2) Full Sweep is a thorough system sweep that scans all files on a computer's attached drives, or (3) Custom Sweep allows users to sweep based on custom settings so files by folder or extension can be skipped and the computer's processing power can be optimized based on choice.
A six–time recipient of PC Magazine's Editors' Choice Award and a multiple winner of PC World's Best Buy and Best of the Year Awards, Webroot Spy Sweeper has accrued an installed base of millions of users worldwide since the product's debut in 2002. Spy Sweeper and Spy Sweeper and AntiVirus is backed by free premier support service that includes a 24/7/365 trouble ticket system, toll–free telephone access to a knowledgeable staff, and free product and defense updates for the duration of the product subscription.

Standalone versions of Spy Sweeper will continue to be offered at $29.95 for a one–year subscription.

Great Billery quote! It seems odd that Reps get called war mongers when we get into most wars by Dems. Roosevelt-WWII, Truman-Korea, Kennedy/Johnson- Vietnam, Clinton-Bosnia, Somalia, Obama- Lybia, Pakistan, Dijibouti, Nigerand Syria next
That fact is even more interesting when we see that the warlike neo-conservative faction of the Republican Party, characterized most fully in the GWB administration, was actually founded by a group of disaffected warlike liberals who's intent was/is to infiltrate and take over the Republican Party and "conservatism" in general, and re-shape it into what is essentially a big gov't domestic policy and warlike foreign policy. This is according to the actual words written in The Weekly Standard article by the late Irving Kristol(father of William Kristol), who has been considered the "Godfather of Neocons".So, the actors haven't really changed. They just went undercover and switched parties and took over.
