Confirming earlier rumors (x2), reports are coming out of the Crescent Racing's British Superbike team that Anglo-American John Hopkins will be riding for the Suzuki-based team in the upcoming 2011 season. While no signatures have reportedly been made, Crescent Racing Team Manager Jack Valentine is calling Hopper's ride for the now non-factory Suzuki team (Relentless by TAS has been tapped by Suzuki to be its "factory team" for 2011 in BSB) a "done deal," as Hopkins has already begun training for his new assignment, and is eager to get back to racing.
The British Superbike series seems like a last hope bid for Hopkins, who is coming off a controversial season with Team Hammer's M4 Suzuki squad. Team owner John Ulrich blasted Hopkins on the WERA message board late last year, all but accusing the American-born rider of lying to him about his physical health before the start of the 2010 season.

See I look at the Martins Cages and think "Oh what a nightmare to clean!"
I had no problem! The cage lifts out of the large plastic pan on the bottom, then you can just set the cage itself in the shower.
I only had two rats in that big cage, so didn't have to shower it very often.
I covered the platforms with cut up jeans - very durable and easy to toss in the washing machine and the rats loved chewing them up.
Here are the occupants of that cage, Ashley Peebody and Mae West!
Call2arms, I would LOVE to take some of your ratties, if I didn't have these stupid cats.

This module is a first crack at providing a consistent interface to
Unix (and maybe other multitasking OS's) process table information.
The impetus for this came about with my frustration at having to parse
the output of various systems' ps commands to check whether specific
processes were running on different boxes at a larged mixed Unix site.
The output format of ps was different on each OS, and sometimes
changed with each new release of an OS. Also, running a ps subprocess
from within a perl or shell script and parsing the output was not a
very efficient or aesthetic way to do things.

Mediation is a process in which parties attempt to negotiate an agreement that resolves some or all of the issues in dispute, with the assistance of a trained, neutral, third-party mediator. Mediation is only binding if the parties reach an agreement; the mediator cannot impose an agreement or solution on the parties.
The Board offers formal and informal mediation services in an effort to find common ground between shippers and transportation providers. These services have resulted in the resolution of a number of disputes that otherwise would have had to be adjudicated, saving those parties involved time and money.
Mediations are conducted by a member of the STB staff that has had mediation training (though an outside mediator can be used if the parties agree and pay the costs associated with doing so). If mediation is unsuccessful, the STB staff that served as the mediator (or mediators) is recused from working on the formal proceeding.
Parties involved in a formal proceeding before the Board always have the option of voluntarily requesting mediation. In addition, the Board has the authority to direct parties in a formal proceeding to mediate – with or without the consent of the parties. The Board also requires that the parties involved in a dispute over the level of a railroad's rates must engage in mediation at the beginning of the case. (Mediation is not available in those Board proceedings in which the agency is required to grant or deny a license or other regulatory approval or exemption, and those that involve labor protection.)
The mediation process is governed by a strict confidentiality policy, which is set forth in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act (5 U.S.C. 574(a)-(b)) and the Board's rules (49 C.F.R. 1109.3(d) and 1109.4(e)). At the beginning of mediation, the parties are required to sign an Agreement to Mediate, in which they agree to adhere to the Board's confidentiality rules.

All News Releases By Date
Healthy Schools Brochure Delivers Info on Healthy Educational Environments in Time for Earth Day
Release Date: 04/02/2008
Contact Information: Kathleen Nagle, (617) 918-1985, email@example.com
(Boston, Mass. – April 2, 2008) – Kicking off the month that people celebrate Earth Day, school administrators, teachers and parents may be interested to obtain a newly released federal brochure that provides guidelines for environmental health and safety in schools.
The booklet, called "Healthy Schools, lessons for a clean educational environment" was developed by the New England regional office of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It provides an easy-to-read guide for administrators, educators and parents looking at ways to make sure local school buildings provide a healthy learning environment.
"Across the country, more than 53 million children and six million adults spend their days in our elementary and secondary schools," said Robert Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "Reducing environmental risks inside these buildings is critical for public health and for our children to get the education they need."
The brochures include sections on indoor air quality issues, such as mold, asthma, and radon; toxics; drinking water; outdoor air quality issues such as UV rays and diesel buses; oil storage and how to make schools green.
More information:
- Copies of the brochure are available at https://www.epa.gov/ne/children/pdfs/healthy_schools.pdf or by calling Kathleen Nagle at the EPA's Boston office (617-918-1985).

The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the LORD Almighty
will accomplish this.
Isaiah 9:2, 6-7
Most of us know Handel's oratorio chorus "Messiah," and at Christmas time we are delighted by the sounds of its most famous song, the "Hallelujah Chorus." How many of us, though, are aware that this song can only truly be sung after an earlier set proclaims, "For Unto Us a Child is Born"? The words for this song are taken from Isaiah 9, which describes a scene of darkness, gloom and oppression that is pierced with the light of dawn. For centuries, the Jewish people envisioned and expected a great warrior king who would save them from their oppressors. But God chose a child instead, a baby born in lowly circumstances, to save people from their spiritual oppression. In this series of messages Alistair Begg describes who this child is and what earns him the right to be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and the Prince of Peace. Celebrate the great news that A Child is Born!

I've sort of been expecting someone to blame schools for introducing teenagers to the dangerous world of eating disorders. After all, parents are more than willing to blame MTV for teen pregnancy and Facebook for "letting" their kids cyberbully. But the XO Jane article titled "Health Class Taught Me How to Have an Eating Disorder" was still a tough read.
I once was that teenage girl sitting in a classroom learning that some girls lose weight by throwing up everything they eat. And yes, I would go on to battle bulimia for many years, despite the warnings that it was one of the absolute worst ways to attack the battle of the bulge. But I'm still not buying the argument that talking to our kids about tough topics is the wrong way to go. It sounds like a cop-out.
Jane writer Jessica recalls a movie that kicked off an eating disorder unit, detailing all the dangerous -- but different -- ways people could lose weight:
Had one of us already been suffering from anorexia, this may have served as a much needed wake-up call and a reason to reach out for help. Unfortunately, for those of us who hadn't yet considered slimming down, the movie ended up serving not so much as a warning but an instruction manual on how to develop an unhealthy relationship with food.
It's true, teachers unwittingly gave me a quick how-to on throwing up my food. But that doesn't make it their fault. I was bulimic because I was a depressed teenager with an unhealthy attitude toward food and my body. I would have figured out how to stick a finger down my throat eventually.
As a mother, I have found myself falling into the trap of blaming other people for presenting some of the more touchy truths of life in a setting meant for kids. Just yesterday, I huddled on my couch fighting off a bug my 6-year-old brought home from first grade and making my way through a pile of YA fiction that had accumulated on my bedside table. First book: Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) by Sarah Mylnowski, a fun read made considerably less so by my vision of my daughter one day taking in the tales of virginity lost and parents lied to. I had to remind myself that it was A.) just a book and B.) a book that detailed some things that kids really do. It's up to parents to raise kids NOT to do these things, and one book isn't going to undo years of parenting.
Unfortunately, we have a tendency to put our mom hats on, then pull them down tight over our eyes. Instead of acknowledging that there's a lot of tough, awful stuff that kids deal with today, and it's better our kids learn about them in safe, nurturing environments where they can hash out their feelings both for and against, we convince ourselves that our kids will not encounter these things ... ever.
News flash! Your kids will more than likely face the following at some point:
- Drinking (and possibly driving)
- Drugs
- Sex (and STDs and pregnancy scares)
- Weight issues/eating disorders
- Heartbreak
So what's better? To let them walk into it blind? Or to risk that a few teens will encounter them a little earlier in a safe environment?

Feature Presentation - From the Sci- Fi Radio Series we bring you Vintage Season. The original story is by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore, and has been selected for the Science Fiction Hall of Fame collections. It involves a Mr. Wilson who has rented his house to some foreign visitors who have come to enjoy the excellent weather of the season. His fiance wants him to kick them out because he also has an offer to buy the house for three times what it's worth, as long as the buyer can move in right away. But the visitors insist on staying. They have some remarkable gadgets in their rooms, and they all act and speak so precisely. Why is everyone so eager to occupy this house at this time? Mr. Wilson eventually discovers that they are all time travelers who are visiting around to the best seasons. There is much more to discover when other visitors arrive to marvel at the Vintage Season.
The Sci-Fi Radio series has been generally unavailable since the early 90s. Recently it turned up on Archive.org, and all 26 episodes are there. If you'd like to hear more, take a look at (http://archive.org/details/Sci-fiRadio).

The Hidden Scrolls: Christianity, Judaism, & the War for the Dead Sea Scrolls
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1994 - Dead Sea scrolls - 306 pages
Few ancient documents have ever exerted such power over the public imagination as have the Dead Sea Scrolls. But the true significance of the Scrolls is a story that archaeolgist Neil Silberman now tells for the first time. For Jews and Christians alike, the scrolls will suggest a new way of thinking about the past--and present.

Taking pride of place at this week's iceBike* show was downhill legend Steve Peat's 2012 race rig – a Santa Cruz V-10 Carbon newly decked out with Shimano and Fox Racing Shox bits.
We've already covered the now full-carbon V-10 in a fair bit of detail here and here, and Santa Cruz released some images of the new team bikes when they announced the move from SRAM to Shimano last month. But it's such a nice looking bike we thought you wouldn't mind a second look! Check out our image gallery for more shots.

The Chromebook Pixel is a Core i5 laptop with 4GB of RAM and a 32GB or 64GB of storage. It's also got a crazy-beautiful anodised aluminium case, and Google is making a lot of fuss over the trackpad being specifically coated and designed. According to the first few hands-on articles, the work on the trackpad has paid off - it's quite good.
The real looker here is of course that display - 2570x1700 pixels at 12.85" means a ppi of 239, which is quite insane. It's also touch-enabled, but ChromeOS isn't exactly touch-optimised. Still, my Surface RT has taught me in a few days that even in a non-touch interface, it's just natural to touch stuff, so good on the Pixel for including it. The display is also 3:2, which isn't a widescreen - a bit weird, but it probably makes sense for most webpages.
The price is hefty: it starts at $1299 - which makes me wonder who this thing is for. ChromeOS is not really a full operating system, and still has a long way to go in that regard. Well, maybe it's hackable and we can run Linux-proper or Windows 7 on it.

"Jericho" fans rejoice. "Jericho" lives on ... sort of.
Former "Jericho" star Skeet Ulrich will return to CBS for the drama pilot "Back," and the beloved but short-lived "Jericho" itself will continue as a comic book.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ulrich will play a man who has difficulties reconnecting with friends and family after he returns home eight years after being reported missing on September 11.
Mark Pellington will direct from a script written by "CSI: Miami's" Dean Widenmann who is also executive producing with "Hairspray" producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron.
Also, Devil's Due Publishing will publish a "Jericho" comic, picking up where the cult-favorite series ended after two seasons.
The series centered on a Kansas town in the aftermath of a nuclear war. The series was canceled after only one season and a rather dramatic cliffhanger, which roused the ire of diehard fans who started a grassroots campaign to protest. The campaign, aided by Ulrich, was successful to the point that CBS brought the show back for a seven-episode second season, before canceling it again. A renewed protest campaign, filled with peanuts, did not sway the network this time.
The series' original team of producers -- Dan Shotz, Jon Turteltaub, Carol Barbee, Karim Zreik and Jon Steinberg -- will be involved in the comic.
In other CBS pilot news, Bruce Greenwood, Miranda Otto, Kay Panabaker and Nick Eversman have been cast in "A Marriage," the Marshall Herskovitz and Ed Zwick drama about the anatomy of the marriage between Noah (Greenwood) and wife Abby (Otto), with their two kids (Panabaker, Eversman).
Also, Zoe McLellan will join "House Rules," which follows the freshman class of Congress, and Richard Coyle will play a doctor on the drama "Miami Trauma."

Hey fellas!
I been on other forums where we had these ranting threads and I thought this site would need one too. Since I don't see any active threads like these I don't bother searching for dead threads in that corner. So what are bugging you?
Or maybe you have something good to share? Put it all here! Okay I start.
I am so glad the spring has finally decided to come. It's been over ten degrees Celsius and nice weather today. Too bad it got cloudy over the day though. The Art Of Love by Erich Fromm. That book I am addicted to at the moment. Started to read out in the sun. Then it got windy and I had to go inside. Come on a little bit more sun and higher temperatures now and I can bike everyday!!!
The King Of Chinese Dragons
It was a quick and breezy day marked by a total lack of any struggle. Now all I have to do is relish in my hobbies.
rek u m8
Driving all day, making errand runs, here and there. Driving sucks.
I've been playing too much Kotor
I'll just list things :)
- The stupid yo-yo weather where I live
- The stupid things my school is making me do = stress = tired = confused = mad
- Any idiots in general. Especially my generation.
- Stubborn assholes
- Any kind of violence
- People who throw away food that they haven't even touched
- People that don't know how to dress themselves for appropriate weather
- Trolls
- Super hipsters
- All this picking colleges, finding a job, and getting my driver's license crap
- Not being able to be with my crush because our families wouldn't approve because of religious differences
- Not having time to watch more anime and write my rom-com-fantasy fiction stories for fun (I want to be a writer, but my parents don't approve)
-Not knowing what I want to be when I grow up, but having narrowed down my choices to the point where it's hard for me to choose. I'll be the first one in my family going to college- stressful
Umm... this was more pet-peeves than anything else xD Oh well. I probably have more I can't think of at the moment. ;)
School is holding me hostage. HALP
Day 1: Got a blog.
Day 2: I ranted.
Day 3: Nobody came.
I am a cage in search of a bird.
My neck hurts from all the stress of college.
I also have a bio exam later today, I've studied tons these past few days.
I'm killing it.
You know what really grinds my gears? People you barely know asking you for money.
Mr. Stealyogirl aka King Koopa. ;)
I wish my friend's weren't so ignorant about what happens out in the world. They seem so content in there bubble. The female friends mostly mind you. They are wonderful people don't get me wrong just wish they would try and be informed. Also politics and subsequent red tape to have your opinion heard annoys me.
That my precious winter has left me and now everybody is walking outside naked. How much I hate people wearing little pieces of cloth they call clothes.
Why can't I properly express the feeling I get when I open a yogurt and the foil that seals it comes off as one solid, complete piece rather than tearing in half and forcing me to get yogurt on my fingers to remove the other half or otherwise try to squeeze my spoon into a tight space? It is a fault of the human condition that words alone must suffice to attempt the complete expression of yogurt-happiness (a very mild, but nonetheless exciting, form of happiness that can also be described as relief or satisfaction -- like I said though, I don't think I can properly express it).
Florence's new song is a big letdown.
She has never done this to me before. I don't know how to process this.
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
We sure have a lot of rant threads made in the General Discussion. Is the previous one locked?

Instead of naming mine, which has blunt not-holding-back saying-it-like-it-is opinions that'll end up putting me in flame wars, I'll just respond to these that interested me.
1) And guess what? They're (here in america that is) now running our school system, our government, telling us what we can and can't eat, what car we can't drive, or hell...telling us that we're somehow irrelevant for not watching certain shows or movies!
2) Would love to know what kind.
3) I see it all the time, especially in winter and mostly among girls. It's just so funny hearing them complaining that it's too cold, yet they were THIS STUPID to go out and try to get as many guy eyes on them as possible.
4) Faceless cowards is what I call them. When they troll on the internet, you'll know what they are in real life.
5) That's sad. It really is. I seem to have an issue pretty close to yours, only in my case it's more racial. Her mom and dad and brother like me though, and now her uncle and grandmother wants to meet me. The rest of her family from what she's told me wouldn't be okay with it from a racial standpoint. My family would be the exact same way with her.
Anyway, I'm not gonna ask what religion you both are in because that subject is a weak one for "The Independent Human". For now my suggestion would be to convince both sides how much you and your b/f love each other. The moments you both have together. Things like that. It shouldn't matter if you both are into a different religion. Look the only thing I can say on that is that they both lead to a higher power. That's what matters most to the both of you right? Don't worry about what both your and his family thinks of you two, because in the end, it's not them that decides the relationship.....IT'S YOU TWO.

Win 7 Security 2012 is a variant of the 2012 name-changing rogue program that changes its name randomly depending on the version of Windows it is installed on. This guide will cover the variant of the 2012 name changing rogue called Win 7 Security 2012. This rogue is promoted in two ways. The first is through the use of fake online antivirus scanners that state that your computer is infected and then prompt you to download a file that will install the infection. The other method are hacked web sites that attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in programs that you are running on your computer to install the infection without your knowledge or permission.
When installed, this rogue pretends to be a security update for Windows installed via Automatic Updates. It will then install itself as a single executable that has a random name consisting of three characters, such as gln.exe, that uses very aggressive techniques to make it so that you cannot remove it. First, it makes it so that if you launch any executable it will instead start the Win 7 Security 2012 rogue and state that the executable you initially wanted to run is infected. It will also modify certain keys so that when you launch FireFox or Internet Explorer from the Window Start Menu it will launch the rogue instead and display a fake firewall warning stating that the program is infected.
Once started, the rogue itself, like all other rogues, will scan your computer and state that there are numerous infections on it. If you attempt to use the program to remove any of these infections, though, it will state that you need to purchase the program first. In reality, though, the infections that the rogues states are on your computer are all legitimate files that if deleted could cause Windows to not operate correctly. Therefore, please do not manually delete any files based upon the results from this rogue's scan.
While running, Win 7 Security 2012 will also display fake security alerts on the infected computer. The text of some of these alerts are:
Virus Intrusion!
Your computer security is at risk. Spyware, worms, and Trojans were detected in the background. Prevent data corruption and credit card information theft. Safeguard your system and perform a free security scan now.
Win 7 Security 2012 Alert
System Integrity Check
Warning! Sensitive data may be sent over your internet connection right now!
Threat: Trojan-PSW.Win32.Antigen.A
Win 7 Security 2012 Firewall Alert
Win 7 Security 2012 has blocked a program from accessing the internet
Internet Explorer is infected with Trojan-BNK.Win32.Keylogger.gen
Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords.
Threat Detected!
Security Alert! Your computer was found to be infected with privacy-threatening software. Private data may get stolen and system damage may be severe. Recover your PC from the infection right now, perform a security scan.
System danger!
Your system security is in danger. Privacy threats detected. Spyware, keyloggers or Trojans may be working the background right now. Perform an in-depth scan and removal now, click here.
System Hijack!
System security threat was detected. Viruses and/or spyware may be damaging your system now. Prevent infection and data loss or stealing by running a free security scan.
Privacy threat!
Spyware intrusion detected. Your system is infected. System integrity is at risk. Private data can be stolen by third parties, including credit card details and passwords. Click here to perform a security repair.
Stealth intrusion!
Infection detected in the background. Your computer is now attacked by spyware and rogue software. Eliminate the infection safely, perform a security scan and deletion now.
Win 7 Security 2012 Alert
Security Hole Detected!
A program is trying to exploit Windows security holes! Passwords and sensitive data may be stolen. Do you want to block this attack?
Just like the scan results, these security warnings and alerts are all fake and should be ignored.
While running, Win 7 Security 2012 will also hijack Internet Explorer and Firefox so that you cannot visit certain sites. It does this so that you cannot receive help or information at sites like BleepingComputer.com on how to remove this infection. When you attempt to visit these sites you will instead be shown a fake alert stating that the site you are visiting is dangerous and that the rogue is blocking it for your protection. The message that you will see is:
Win 7 Security 2012 Alert
Internet Explorer alert. Visiting this site may pose a security threat to your system!
Possible reasons include:
- Dangerous code found in this site's pages which installed unwanted software into your system.
- Suspicious and potentially unsafe network activity detected.
- Spyware infections in your system
- Complaints from other users about this site.
- Port and system scans performed by the site being visited.
Things you can do:
- Get a copy of Win 7 Security 2012 to safeguard your PC while surfing the web (RECOMMENDED)
- Run a spyware, virus and malware scan
- Continue surfing without any security measures (DANGEROUS)
Just like the fake security alerts, the browser hijack is just another attempt to make you think that your computer has a security problem so that you will then purchase the program.
Without a doubt, this rogue is designed to scam you out of your money by hijacking your computer and trying to trick you into thinking you are infected. Therefore, please do not purchase this program , and if you have, please contact your credit card company and dispute the charges stating that the program is a computer infection. Finally, to remove Win 7 Security 2012 please use the guide below, which only contains programs that are free to use.
Win 7 Security 2012 Removal Options
Self Help Guide
If you are uncomfortable making changes to your computer or following these steps, do not worry! Instead you can get free one-on-one help by asking in the forums.
- Print out these instructions as we may need to close every window that is
open later in the fix.
- Reboot your computer into Safe Mode with Networking. To
do this, turn your computer off and then back on and immediately when you
see anything on the screen, start tapping the F8 key on your
keyboard. Eventually you will be brought to a menu similar to the one below:
Using the arrow keys on your keyboard, select Safe Mode with Networking and press Enter on your keyboard. If you are having trouble entering safe mode, then please use the following tutorial: How to start Windows in Safe Mode
Windows will now boot into safe mode with networking and prompt you to login as a user. Please login as the same user you were previously logged in with in the normal Windows mode. Then proceed with the rest of the steps.
- It is possible that the infection you are trying to remove will not allow
you to download files on the infected computer. If this is the case, then
you will need to download the files requested in this guide on another computer
and then transfer them to the infected computer. You can transfer the files
via a CD/DVD, external drive, or USB flash drive.
- Before we can do anything we must first end the processes that belong to
Win 7 Security 2012
so that it does not interfere with the cleaning procedure. To do this, please
download RKill to your desktop from the following link.
RKill Download Link - (Download page will open in a new tab or browser window.)
When at the download page, click on the Download Now button labeled Rkill.com. When you are prompted where to save it, please save it on your desktop.
- Once it is downloaded, double-click on the Rkill.com
icon in order to automatically attempt to stop any processes associated with
Win 7 Security 2012
and other Rogue programs. Please be patient while the program looks for various
malware programs and ends them. When it has finished, the black window will
automatically close and you can continue with the next step. If you get a
message that RKill is an infection, do not be concerned. This message is just
a fake warning given by
Win 7 Security 2012
when it terminates programs that may potentially remove it. If you run into
these infections warnings that close RKill, a trick is to leave the warning
on the screen and then run RKill again. By not closing the warning, this typically
will allow you to bypass the malware trying to protect itself so that RKill
can terminate
Win 7 Security 2012
. So, please try running RKill until the malware is no longer running. You
will then be able to proceed with the rest of the guide. Do not reboot
your computer after running RKill as the malware programs will start again.
If you continue having problems running RKill, you can download the other renamed versions of RKill from the RKill download page. All of these files are renamed copies of RKill, which you can try instead. Please note that the download page will open in a new browser window or tab.
- As this infection is known to be bundled with the TDSS/Necurs rootkit infection, you should also run a program that can be used to scan for this infection. Please follow the steps in the following guide:
How to remove Google Redirects or the TDSS, TDL3, or Alureon rootkit using TDSSKillerIf after running TDSSKiller, you are unable to update Malwarebytes' Anti-malware or continue to have Google search result redirects, then you should post a virus removal request using the steps in the following topic rather than continuing with this guide:
Preparation Guide For Use Before Using Malware Removal Tools and Requesting Help Topic
- At this point you should download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, or MBAM, to scan your computer for any any infections or adware that may be present. Please download Malwarebytes from the following
location and save it to your desktop:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Download Link (Download page will open in a new window)
- Once downloaded, close all programs and Windows on your computer, including
this one.
- Double-click on the icon on your desktop named mb3-setup-1878.1878-22.214.171.1249.exe.
This will start the installation of MBAM onto your computer.
- When the installation begins, keep following the prompts in order to continue
with the installation process. Do not make any changes to default settings
and when the program has finished installing, make sure you leave Launch
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware checked. Then click on the Finish button. If MalwareBytes prompts you to reboot, please do not do so.
- MBAM will now start and you will be at the main screen as shown below.
Please click on the Scan Now button to start the scan. If there is an update available for Malwarebytes it will automatically download and install it before performing the scan.
- MBAM will now start scanning your computer for malware. This process can
take quite a while, so we suggest you do something else and periodically
check on the status of the scan to see when it is finished.
- When MBAM is finished scanning it will display a screen that displays any malware that it has detected. Please note that the infections found may be different
than what is shown in the image below due to the guide being updated for newer versions of MBAM.
You should now click on the Remove Selected button to remove all the seleted malware. MBAM will now delete all of the files and registry keys and add them to the programs quarantine. When removing the files, MBAM may require a reboot in order to remove some of them. If it displays a message stating that it needs to reboot, please allow it to do so. Once your computer has rebooted, and you are logged in, please continue with the rest of the steps.
- You can now exit the MBAM program. If Malwarebytes did not prompt you to reboot your computer, please do so that you are back in normal mode.
- As many rogues and other malware are installed through vulnerabilities found
in out-dated and insecure programs, it is strongly suggested that you use
Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs on your computer. A tutorial on
how to use Secunia PSI to scan for vulnerable programs can be found here:
How to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector
Your computer should now be free of the Win 7 Security 2012 program. If your current anti-virus solution let this infection through, you may want to consider purchasing the PRO version of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to protect against these types of threats in the future.

Police are urging Dales residents to remain vigilant after a suspicious incident in Bakewell.
A post office worker reported that an elderly couple came in and asked for Ukash vouchers. When he enquired further he was told that they had received a phone call from someone who claimed the residents had won money and to release it they had to give the person on the phone the voucher numbers. Ukash is an electronic payment method for people who wish to shop online without credit or debit cards.
People are advised to only give the code to approved merchants and not to cold callers or over email.

Isn't that the point of a forum. Some intervene in support of a particular point or view while others intervene to support a counterpoint? I agree with you in that when a statement is made as a fact, then specific examples need to be provided when challenged.
J Hoffa, I assume that when you read and then turn around and use peoples quotes that you do keep them in context. My statement "If you would like me to expand on that, I would be glad to " I was discussing businesses, opening and expanding. Please do not use people's statements out of context, mine or anyone elses, to make them appear stupid or inaccurate.
You also talked about the millage put on the ballot. Yes, Mr Wilburn, knew it was a millage that probably would not pass. Back to the same old bitching from the community about something wrong & someone trying to do something about it when no other way is working fast enough for the community. It was a bad idea but based on all those road meetings that is what the people wanted. A FIX no matter what. Yes the trickle down from our state capital is a drop in the bucket as to what is needed. Did you have a better solution? Did anyone else in this forum, this community, this county or state? I know that my opinion is that there needs to be change in the system at state level. It was also my opinion that if that millage passed we would be seeing even less trickle down to us. Next lets talk about your throwing Whiteford Township into all of this. Other than on New 223 would you please tell me which roads get even the close to the same amount of traffic that any of our mile roads get. None is the answer. If you do not have the traffic, the trucks, etc. on the roads you have much less that needs repair, repavement etc. Oh and you probably are going to bring up the tractors and combines to me. I am a farm kid. I know when they are on the road, not even a good comparison, so don't bother wasting your time.

I am a farm kid. I know when they are on the road, not even a good comparison, so don't bother wasting your time.Yes, lets talk about the road levy. It is probably the best example because it represents two years worth of Mr. Wilburn's most focused effort and it is more out in the open where anyone can judge what kind of problem solving talent skill he has shown and what he actually brought to the table.Assemble a Team of Qualified Road Experts What did Wilburn do? The team he assembled was: an HVAC contractor, a retired school teacher, a zoning administrator/planner, and an administrator. Not a team of road experts. Although Lange may have knowledge about road administration, he also represents the foul taste of the MCRC. Not what I would consider a choice to gain confidence in our community. Very late in the game, a contractor and an engineer appeared. Yes, a step in the right direction, but too late to make any difference. As an aside, the engineer and his engineering company are both contributors to the Wilburn campaign. Gosh, wonder what his motivation was and if he would be willing to take issue with the guy who would be administering or distributing road improvement contracts?The Levy That Wilburn Thought Would Probably Not PassIt is enlightening to know, as you have pointed out, that Wilburn would waste our money on a levy that he thought would not pass. What a waste of our money. Guess he wasn't willing to swallow his ego and propose something more palatable that might at least get the community started on a program of road improvement. Guess the road levy had to be "Wilburn's Way" or the "highway"Other Levy AlternativesWith respect to other alternatives, there were many other alternatives that were suggested on this board including: proposing something more modest; shorter duration; less funding; a plan with some checks, balances, accountability, and some specifics. The first plan proposed could easily have been a small step and a small program; but at least it would have started us down the path. Let Wilburn prove he was capable of implementing a small program to the satisfaction of the community. Then, based on proven results, ask the community for a slightly larger program etc. Nope, no chance of that. "Wilburns Way" or the "highway".Wilburn The BusinessmanOn other topics on this forum, you have boasted about the successful businessman that Wilburn has been and that those are qualities that would serve the community well. I agree that some of those qualities are important. However, small businessmen make decisions for their own business; they don't have to tell anyone what they are going to do, how they are going to do it, what their priorities are, who is going to do it for them, and they don't have to be accountable to anyone but themselves.Here is what Wilburn (the businessman) did in the road levy: he didn't tell us what he was going to do (no specifics); he didn't tell us how he was going to do it (is he going to hire his campaign contributors or put all services, engineering and contracting up for bid); and he didn't include any accountability provisions. Yep, just being a businessman. The township supervisor, from my perspective, is a manager who works for the township. If a manager requests funding for something, it is his responsibility to detail what and how the funding will be used. Something like "just fix the roads" is less than a satisfactory answer. This apparently is a concept that Wilburn does not think applies to him as best illustrated by the road levy.He didn't just ask for $1,000.00 without detailing what he was going to doHe didn't just ask for $10,000.00 without detailing what he was going to doHe didn't just ask for $100,000.00 without detailing what he was going to doHe didn't just ask for $1,000,000.00 without detailing what he was going to doHe asked for $10,000,000.00 without detailing what he was going to doWhiteford Township"Next lets talk about your throwing Whiteford Township into all of this. Other than on New 223 would you please tell me which roads get even the close to the same amount of traffic that any of our mile roads get. None is the answer."Whiteford Township is a good example in my opinion because, even though they are more rural, Bob Schnipke brought focus to roads a long time ago, not just the last couple of years as with Wilburn.I have no clue as you what you mean by "our mile roads".In response to your specific quote on traffic on Whiteford roads that might be equivalent to Bedford's traffic, "None is the answer."? Frankly, I didn't realize that Sterns Road was no longer part of Whiteford Township? I didn't realize that all the heavy haul stone trucks that travel on Sterns Road to the quarries near Sterns and Whiteford Center Road were not actually traveling thru Whiterford Township. I didn't realize that all the trucks that go to the facilities off Schnipke Drive and Section Road, near US 23, were not traveling through Whiteford Township. I didn't realize that supply trucks, that bring materials to Bedford Township, no longer come down Sterns Road and don't go through Whiteford Township. You better inform the residents in Whiteford township about this, I think they are in for a big surprise.Shared Responsibility, Past Supervisors/b]It is fine with me if you want to blame past supervisors for not addressing road problems sooner. From my perspective, however, that smoke screen does little to change what Wilburn has done the last eight years and in particular the folly of his egotistical road levy.The road levy, because it represents two years of Wiburn's focused effort, serves as a great example of what he brings to the table. "Wilburn's Way" or the "highway", I'll take the highway.
Oh what will you talk about when Walt's not your whipping boy? There are more posts bashing this guy personally than actually talking about the issues. Criticize his decisions, but don't take it to a personal level. One more month and this will be over. Our Savior is coming, right? At least until he makes his first decision. Just wondering if 2012Bedford and J Hoffa are the same person?
You state you do not know what a mile road is? Quoting you, "Other than on New 223 would you please tell me which roads get even the close to the same amount of traffic that any of our mile roads get". I gave you a list. The loads that the heavy haul stone trucks bring to Whiteford Township, far exceed anything we see in the township. Our township main roads are 1 mile apart whether east to west or north to south. That is why they are called mile roads. You say you have lived here forever? Please show me where I say I have lived here forever. I guess a point you feel you just need to makeup. Much like your implied reference to 150 miles of road improvements that Mr. Wilburn was responsible for. Did he have some imput, sure, Did he have the lead responsibility on the 150 miles. hardly. Well I have only lived around here since 1984 and where I am from they call them something completely different and they are not plotted out the same way. One of the first times I heard that term, I asked what was meant by that. It was explained. It made total sense. TEAM OF EXPERTSI do not know how the committee was chosen, do you? [If you are going to ask the community for $10,000,000.00 to solve a very technical problem, I believe you owe it to the community to have the problem investigated by experts in the field (whether it is roads, sanitary sewers, water supply, etc), not just a bunch of well meaning volunteers.. As an alternative, there could have been a very modest one year levy, to generate funds, to engage experts to generate a plan to guide future improvements. At least we would then have had some idea where we were going. No plan and no accountability is no basis for requesting $10,000,000.Do you think maybe it was because those people offered their help. Wasted time by unqualified volunteers, well meaning or not, is still wasted time. The greater concern is that Mr. Wilburn would actually ask us to give him $10,000,000 (no strings attached) based on an unqualified committee. Did you make that same offer? I would say the answer to that is NO as that way you can stand on the sidelines and shoot negative verbalizations that everything was done wrong. You have no idea of what I have or have not contributed to the community over the years. Guess this is a subject you simply want to ask and answer the questions yourself. I do know that there are several well qualified civil engineers in the township that have contributed time to the community in the past. Did Wilburn ask any of them to be part of his committee or did he only ask the contributors to his campaign?If you are not a part of the solution could be you are part of the problem.You just threw an accusation of wrongdoing in my eyes at the engineer and contractor. Accusation, no, ............. but absolutely an area that, we as a community need to be vigilant about. Both Mr. Wilburn and the engineer know that they are subject to this kind of scrutiny when they give and take contributions. In this case, since Mr. Wilburn specified no details about anything, including who would do the work (engineering, contracting, etc), the community has every right to be vigilant. Do you have proof that they did nothing? Or that they enterred into some type of agreement to get a certain share if not all of the contracting work?If that contractor and engineer are locals don't they know more about Bedford Road uses than an outsider? WOULD NOT PASSWhen it was opted to put it on the ballot, he had hopes of it passing but even a month before the election, he knew it had a good chance of not passing favorably. Too late to modify then,the ballots are already printed. Again, from my perspective, the levy that was formulated $10,000,000.00, with no associated accountability deserved to fail. More importantly, anyone that would propose such a levy at any time, is not acting in the best interest of the community. This was Mr. Wilburn's committee, he was the lead, he could have put forth anything he wanted at any time he wanted, he choose to put forth a levy with no accountability. OTHER ALTERNATIVESThere are always other alternatives and to continually have to put something on the ballot is not cost effective for us either nor does it allow for future planning whether it is for time to look for additional grants, alternatives etc. Plus we have the below. The same thing could have been accomplished with a more modest proposal. The significant point of all of this is, however, that the levy defined nothing. Just said give me $10,000,000 with no provisions for accountability, no plan, nothing. A five year period for planning is certainly workable. If after four years, and prior to the expiration of an initial levy, an extension levy could be put forth. At least then, the community would be able to assess the accomplishments or lack there of. Also we have the taxpayers/residents of Bedford saying we want it and we want it now. Guess we told him that maybe we do not want it as much as we thought we did like a child to their parent when given options that require something extra from them besides their verbalizations. Well, that is your opinion. My perception was that the community was asking for a shorter duration levy with the opportunity to renew based on actual performance.WILBURN THE BUSINESSMANYES he asked for a lot of money in that assessment but break that down based on the cost of roadwork. It is nothing for $250,000 or even a $1,000,000 to be spent. You are making $10,000,000 seem like an astronomical number.Whether Wilburn asked for $1 or $10,000,000.00, the point is still the same. He owes it to the community to define what he is going to do. It is pure arrogance to ask for $10,000,000.00 without accountability.A $1,000 is a drop in the bucket and realistically so is a $1,000,000. And he asked for $10, not so large when you put it into perspective. It's nice that for you, that $10,000,000 is not big deal. Not the case for me, and as it turns out, not for the voters. His employees were his extended family. His love for this township and wanting it to suceed no different than a business makes us a part of that extended family. Like most families not everyone gets along and of course there are always some black sheep. Did you ever see his employees not chipping in no matter what the project wherever, however was needed?Of course he was responsible to those employees as every good businessman who owns/runs a company is responsible to and for their employees. Are the employees part of every decision? Heck no. WHITEFORD TOWNSHIPI believe that the section of Sterns Rd is a maximum of 2 miles from the expressway to Adler Rd. So you are stating that Whiteford has 8 miles of highly traveled roads. And a population of? And we have a population of approx. 32000. How many cars, trucks, etc. Are on our roads on a daily basis versus theirs. Huge difference, I think You are stating that Stoneco and other Whiteford businesses as well as the residents of Whiteford Township did not use our roads? Many of those trucks to make deliveries etc. also come directly north into Bedford Township as well as from I-75. 23 is not our only nearby expressway. Look around and look at all of the Ohio license plates using Smith, Sterns versus Alexis Rd, not to mention all the other major roads that they travel. You asked for roads in Whiteford that see travel equal to what we have in Bedford. I gave you examples. Just how many car trips do you think it takes to equal the wear and tear of just one heavy haul stone truck traveling from 23 to the Whiterford quarries. Doesn't alter the fact that while Wiburn was working on the Jackman Road palace, Schnipke was bringing focus to Whiteford's roads. Even more to your point, if you assume that Whiteford's overall road issues are smaller than Bedford's, Schnipke was focusing on their road issues (even if they had smaller problems) while Wilburn was doing little on a bigger problem. Maybe that really is the better perspectiveSHARE RESPONSIBILTY/PAST SUPERVISORSYou seem to be stating that no supervisor was ever told by the residents of this township brought up to the supervisors that our roads are a problem. Didn't say that at all. You noted that other supervisors should also be held accountable, I said that was fine with me but that didn't alter the fact that Wilburn did little for his first six yearsI heard the people long before I moved to the township. Did they try to find moneys to take care of the problems? No unless it was by getting it done thru a bond. Those do have to be paid off.[/quotRegardless of all of this and all of that, for me, the road levy is the defining point in evaluating Mr. Wilburn's performance and should he leading the township in the future.. He led the road levy effort and he focused on this for two years, he could have put together any type of team he wanted, he could have put together any type of plan he wanted, he could have staged levies in increments with renewals so that the community could evaluate the use of their dollars. What he did was assemble a bunch of unqualified volunteers and asked for $10,000,000.00, no strings attached.
