2011 Ford F-150 - First DrivePosted in Vehicle Reviews on February 1, 2011
Hang on to your lug nuts because Ford has unveiled four new powerplants for the 2011 Ford F-150. This is a pretty big deal because it's the most extensive powertrain makeover in the truck's 62-year history. In addition, Ford says that these new engines make the 2011 F-150 up to 20 percent more fuel-efficient than the 2010 Ford F-150. So, say goodbye to the two- and three-valve 4.6L and 5.4L V-8s because they're sailing off into the sunset. Say hello to the new hotness; the 3.7L V-6, 5.0L V-8, 6.2L V-8, and 3.5L EcoBoost V-6. How hot are they? We had a chance to drive all of them in Texas recently, and here's the lowdown.
This is the base engine in the F-150. Ford says it's the latest application of the award-winning Duratec V-6, with upgrades for the light truck application. They tout that it's designed to be the most powerful, capable, and fuel-efficient base V-6 of any truck in its class. This Cleveland-built, four-valve, E85-capable engine is all-aluminum and has six-bolt bearing caps, a forged steel crankshaft, piston cooling jets, die-cast aluminum deep-sump oil pan, tuned composite upper and lower intake manifolds, and twin independent variable camshaft timing (Ti-VCT). It punches out 302 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque and can to tow up to 6,100 pounds. It's rated at 16 mpg city and 23 mpg highway in two-wheel drive configuration (four-wheel drive mpg numbers were not available at press time). We were surprised at the get-up-'n-go of this engine. As a point of reference, during testing on a timing light-equipped 640-foot track (which is 20 feet shy of 1/8-mile), we logged a best run of 9.7 seconds at 64.4 mph. The engine is light years ahead of V-6 and I-6 truck engines we've experienced in the past in terms of refinement and power. It's perfect for those who want good mpg and decent performance.
This all-aluminum, four-valve, dual overhead-cam engine is similar to the 5.0L powering the 2011 Mustang GT, but it has undergone a number of enhancements for light truck service. The camshafts were tuned to improve low-speed torque; the 10.5:1 compression was optimized to reduce knock tendency at lower engine speeds while towing; an oil cooler was added to increase the life of the oil; the fuel injectors are foam-covered to reduce NVH levels; and the exhaust manifolds are cast for improved durability. The Windsor, Ontario, Canada-built engine has Ti-VCT, unique intake camshafts, a forged-steel crankshaft, piston-cooling jets, a composite intake manifold, 8-quart oil capacity, and E85 fuel capability. Compared to the outgoing 5.4L V-8, the engine block is 70 pounds lighter. According to Ford, the engine has a number of best-in-class specs including 360 horsepower, 380 lb-ft of torque, and a 10,000-pound maximum towing capacity. In 4x2 configuration, the 5.0L engine is rated at 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. The engine emits a nice exhaust burble, and it willingly wound through the rpm's. We turned 75.3 mph in 8.8 seconds on the 640-foot track. We speculate that this is the engine that will power the majority of F-150s. Ford says that in models where it doesn't come standard, it'll cost $1,000 to upgrade to the 5.0L from the 3.7L V-6.
This is the largest-displacement engine available in the F-150, and Ford calls it the "premium engine offering." It's a version of the 6.2L base engine in the 2011 Super Duty and 2010 Raptor and it has been proven at the '08 Baja 1000 and the '09 Best In The Desert off-road racing series. This Romeo, Michigan-built, two-valve, single overhead-cam engine utilizes a large bore to allow for larger intake and exhaust valves. It has a shorter stroke to allow for higher engine speed, which translates to increased horsepower. Features include a high-strength deep skirt cast-iron block, aluminum heads, dual spark plugs, cast-iron crankshaft, deep sump stamped-steel oil pan, piston cooling jets, cast exhaust manifolds, six-bolt main bearing caps, cam torque-actuated dual equal variable cam timing, and a tuned, composite, single-plenum intake manifold. If you want bass rumble, this is your engine. The eight-cylinder choir produces a sweet big-bore sound at startup, and that harmony continues throughout the powerband. It produces 411 horsepower, 434 lb-ft of torque, and has an 11,300-pound maximum tow rating. In 4x2 versions, the truck is rated at 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway. Max torque and horsepower roll on within 1,000 rpm of each other, so this engine produces versatile power whether you're looking for speed or grunt. On the 640-foot track, the 6.2L propelled us to 68.18 mph in 8.92 seconds. The 6.2L is standard on a few models, like the Harley Davidson and Raptor, but where it's not, it'll cost you $1,995 to play.
3.5L EcoBoost V-6
Designed to offer the power of a normally-aspirated V-8 while delivering the fuel economy of smaller-displacement engines, the high-tech EcoBoost V6 relies mainly on a pair of turbochargers to work the magic. There's a Borg-Warner turbo on each side of the engine, and each works in conjunction with three cylinders. Each fixed-geometry turbo has wastegate control, and they're water- and oil-cooled. Further, there's a thermal siphoning feature built in to cool the turbos after the engine is shut down. Maximum boost is 13 1/2 psi.
The engine itself is all-aluminum and features a forged steel crankshaft, die-cast aluminum deep sump oil pan, six-bolt main bearing caps, cast exhaust manifolds, Ti-VCT, one-piece composite intake manifold, direct-acting mechanical bucket valvetrain, and a direct-injection fuel system. The Cleveland, Ohio-built EcoBoost produces 365 horsepower, 420 lb-ft of torque, and has a maximum towing capacity of 11,300 pounds. During our drive, Ford sponsored the "Ford EcoBoost V6 Fuel Economy Challenge," which involved trying to squeeze the most mpg out of the EcoBoost-powered trucks equipped with 3.15:1 axle gears. The Challenge took place on an approximately 20-mile course while being monitored by Ford representatives via the Ford Work Solutions onboard computer. The top mpg winner in our group of 24 drivers logged a shocking 32.5 mpg. Bear in mind, this was full-on "hypermiling" and not normal driving, but it's impressive nonetheless. While the rest of our group focused on actually trying to get good fuel mileage, we ignored the challenge completely and put our foot-to-the-floor at every opportunity, which earned us a dead-last finishing position. But here's the amazing thing: we still got 19.4 mpg.
And though its first name may be "Eco," its last name is "Boost," and boost it does. When asked, the EcoBoost V-6 pulls impressively strong. We think this is a performance engine that just happens to get good mileage. At press time, official mpg numbers weren't available, but pricing was, and it'll cost you $750 to step up to the EcoBoost from the 5.0L engine and $1,750 from the 3.7L engine. The EcoBoost will be available on 90 percent of the F-150 lineup.
What's Hot:
Four new engine choices, fuel mileage increase, easy drivability.
What's Not:
Needs a front locker option on 4x4 models.
Our Take:
Great truck with enough configurations to keep just about everyone happy.
Six-speeds for Everybody
The Ford 6R80 six-speed transmission will be standard for each of the four new engines in 2011. The transmission has been "optimized" for each engine, and an example of that is that the 6R80 behind the 3.7L engine has fewer clutch plates compared to how the 6R80 is configured for other engines. The 6R80, which is now linked to the engine computer, offers features such as SelectShift Automatic capability, a new one-way clutch for smoother 1-2 and 2-1 shifts, and a recalibrated Tow/Haul mode.
Another new feature of the 2011 F-150 is electric power-assisted steering (EPAS). This system is available with all engines except the 6.2L and eliminates hydraulic lines and fluid, helps improve fuel mileage, and is quieter than a standard system. The rack-and-pinion-based system includes computers and an electric motor. It is speed-sensitive and can help correct for road irregularities and crosswinds. The steering gear can be tuned and the tuning is software-based, so the steering can be programmed to each model based on powertrain, wheelbase, etc. After experiencing it, we can say it's an amazing achievement. It's very confidence-inspiring and helps to make the F-150 a very stable, easy-to-drive truck.
But Wait, There's More
In addition to the engine and mechanical changes, the F-150 also sports a variety of new standard and optional items. Seen here is the optional new 4.2-inch LCD message center that's navigated via a five-way button on the steering wheel. Other new features include a larger screen for the rear view camera; a three-way safety belt and head restraint for the middle passenger in the front seat; express up and down front windows; 110-volt outlet; remote start; telescoping steering wheel; HD radio; and perimeter alarm.

|Drug Resistance Testing
Apr 3, 2002
I tested positive 2 weeks ago and have been trying to absorb as much of the information that's available. My first lab results showed my viral load at 7595, my CD4 at 547, and my CD8(?) at 1274. My physician recommended that I not start treatment right away. I have to go back in six weeks to get blood drawn again. I am currently with a family practice physician and am researching HIV specialists in the area. I was not offered drug resistance testing nor was it mentioned. I am going to request that it be done. Would it be a good idea to get it done before my next visit in 6 weeks? I read it can take 14 days to get the results back. I don't want to go to my next visit and find out I need to start treatment and have to wait 2 more weeks. I am not sure if there is a timeframe involved that I should worry about. Also, I am leaning toward the phenotypic testing. What would determine if genotypic vs. phenotypic testing should be done? Thank you for your time.
Response from Dr. Little
I am generally of the opinion that a pre-treatment drug resistance test is a good idea among newly diagnosed individuals. There is very good data now to suggest that this is a good idea in recently infected individuals, and less data to address whether this is still worth the cost in chronically infected (ie more than 1 year infected) people. It is often quite difficult to estimate how long you have been infected, but if you and your doctor think that you may have contracted HIV during the last 3-5 years, then I think that HIV drug resistance testing is quite reasonable. This is not currently the recommended standard of care - hence many non-HIV and even many HIV experts do not agree with this approach. My general feeling is that while a negative test (ie no resistance) does not exclude the possiblity of some level of drug resistance (below the limit of detection of the study), a positive test (ie identified drug resistance), can be extremely helpful in guiding treatment decisions.
In terms of whether to delay the start of therapy while waiting on these test results, this comes down to how long you have been infected and how likely you think you it is that the person who infected you may have taken antiretroviral therapy. This is a difficult question, and not one I can answer without more information.
In terms of which test to have done (genotype or phenotype) - I think this depend upon which test your care provider has more experience interpreting. I think that as a pretreatment screen, you often get more information from a genotype test, but this test is also more difficult to interpret if you are not used to reading these test results. The phenotype test can be used in the event that your care provider is not familiar with drug resistance and HIV. Alternatively, get a genotype, and ask for an interpretation from someone who is familiar with drug resitance test results. Hope this helps.

So I was in MAC again at the weekend and this time I was matched to a NC30 foundation (Mineralized – I really like). The thing is…last time I was matched to a NC40! A good 3 shades darker.
Does anyone else have this problem with foundation matching?
SA's generally either choose something too light, or match me with something too dark. It's also pretty difficult to return make up to a counter in the UK.
The fact is – I guess no one is just one shade of foundation, but in normal day to day life, I don't have time to mess about with a bit of this and a bit of that…
So, don't leave me alone in my woes! Do you ever get matched to the wrong foundation colour and how did you fix it?

The space between our online and offline lives is vanishing. We instant message or video chat instead of meeting up in person. We fire up our iPads or Kindles instead of turning pages of an actual book. Our phones are an appendage. We simply cannot help ourselves: If the digital solution is there, we should use it … right?
Maybe not. The surplus of tech in our lives comes with consequences. The uncontrollable tendency to check email, post Facebook updates, tweet random thoughts, and slap filters on snapshots of trees and our feet can turn from hobby to obsession – or even addiction.
This over-reliance is exactly what digital detox camps hope to alleviate, if not completely rectify. A digital detox camp is exactly what it sounds like; think of it as summer camp for adults, only the main purpose is for you to enter with an open mind and empty, gadget-less pockets. Leave all your button mashing, social media obsessions, and technological dependencies at the door.
But while there's no denying that everyone deserves to take a break from our hyper-connected, digital world, the question is, are these camps really the best way to do it?
Defining digital addiction and recovery
Before we discuss the merits of digital detox camps, it's important to talk about the differences between abusing the Internet and digital world and being addicted to it.
"Internet addiction is basically the obsessive or compulsive use of the Internet or other digital media devices – like an iPhone or a smartphone – in a way that creates some negative or deleterious impact in your life," explains Dr. David Greenfield, PhD, founder of The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction (CITA) and renowned expert on Internet and cyber psychology. In order for your Internet and technology user to be considered a legitimate compulsion, it needs to have a debilitating effect on one or more of the major spheres – home life, school or work life, finances, legal status, or health and medical issues. If it doesn't affect any of those areas in a major and harmful way, according to Greenfield, you're probably not an addict, but like many people, you may meet the criteria for Internet abuse, which simply is an overuse of technology but not to an extent that it creates a problem in your lives. (And something most of us should probably cop to.)
Each person has a different brain chemistry – that's why it's harder for certain people to unplug and easier for others.
In order to meet the criteria for Internet addiction, you spend an excessive amount of time online, leaving you with almost no time for other facets in your life thereby creating a major imbalance. "You may see changes in your physical health. Increases in obesity, sedentary behavior, social isolation, or depression. A decrease in work or school performance. Irritability, mood changes, changes in the way a person relates interpersonally or socially, and more importantly, changes in primary relationships," says Greenfield.
CITA acknowledges that today, it's difficult to live without the Internet and that complete abstinence is futile. With that in mind, the center primarily treats virtual addiction by re-training the brain to perceive and use technology in a different way. They also encourage the use of filtering or blocking software that can modulate a person's online movement. "We have found that if we can get a 5 to 10-second lag between the time that they want 'the hit' on the Internet or on the device and the actual ability to get it, the frontal lobes of the brain can kick in and they can actually use better judgment," Greenfield says.
According to Gemini Adams, an award-winning author and illustrator of the recently released The Facebook Diet: 50 Funny Signs of Facebook Addiction and Ways to Unplug with a Digital Detox (The Unplug Series), our biochemistry is to blame. "Research shows that when the brain receives a new piece of information, the part of the brain that relates to pleasure releases a burst of the neurotransmitter Dopamine," she says. "Activities that increase the level of Dopamine in the brain are addictive because they generate a feeling of enjoyment." However, each person has a different brain chemistry – that's why it's harder for certain people to unplug and easier for others. "It's also why conditions such as Facebook Addiction Disorder (F.A.D). Digital Distress Syndrome (D.D.S) and Internet Addiction Disorder (I.A.D) are increasingly becoming recognized as serious conditions that need to be treated by the health and medical communities in certain countries," says Adams.
Greenfield's two-day and five-day intensive outpatient programs for patients suffering from Internet, gaming, pornography, social media, and personal device addictions not only involve assessment and identification of addictive behaviors and patterns of use and abuse – it also includes providing a better understanding of psycho-neurological patterns of addiction and how to work with them to create a change, development of a relapse prevention plan, and a real-time life plan to "plug back into life." The intensive program entails about 20 hours of personalized therapy and strategies that usually take months to accomplish. Follow-up sessions are recommended and may be conducted in person, Skype, or by phone. He also offers Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), a cutting edge technology that uses light, sound, and vibration to create a movement in our brain patterns. EMDR was originally developed by American psychologist Francine Shapiro, PhD, which has been used successfully in curbing anxiety as well as other mental health and addiction disorders.
Internet and digital addictions are an emerging issue that we're still learning how to treat – so what's the difference between the recovery plan described over and a digital detox program?

(Reuters) - Arsenal's impressive start to the season has been rewarded with Arsene Wenger and Aaron Ramsey scooping the Premier League manager and player of the month awards for September.
After a shock 3-1 home defeat by Aston Villa on the opening day of the season, Arsenal have climbed to the top of the table thanks to five wins and a draw.
During September, Arsenal beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Sunderland, Stoke City and Swansea City, with Welshman Ramsey playing a key role with four goals.
Arsenal also carried their strong domestic form into Europe with impressive wins over Marseille and Napoli to open their Champions League campaign.

I shall begin by quoting Churchill and also end with him.
India is not a geographical reality anymore than as Churchill had observed,'the equator is'. In short India is what every Indian would make of a concept of union of certain states. Of course historically is a reality since we won freedom 'at midnight' in 1947 and subsequently we passed the Constitution by an act of Parliament into law. The Constitution is a visible proof of the will of people and it enshrines the union of all citizens; as such an union would expect every Indian to preserve it.
But how did we celebrate it for the past 61 years?
There has been without let up every community playing a communal card to serve its narrow ends. No cabinet was workable without giving adequate representation to the communities that considered themselves a power unto themselves. Of course Government passed some laws to give hitherto untouchables representation. We have even a Chief Minister who is a Dalit and what does she do? She shows she has indeed 'arrived' by spending crores of the public Exchequer for elevating herself in public memory. We have Taj Mahal built by a Mughal emperor to perpetuate his eternal sorrow for his queen and was she moved by such archetypal emotions as love and bereavement? Ms. Mayawati knows she would not be missed by the end of her term in office. Naturally she has safeguarded the lapse of public memory by the powers bestowed on her. The charter of Constitution means many things to many and to the ilk of Ms. Mayawati it is a license to indulge in the worst excesses of vanity.
The other day I read a news item that a DSP who is in charge of her security detail stooped himself to wipe her sandals. Remarkable to see officers in India who has completely effaced their dignity to this level. Having seen the manner politicians bend backwards to please narrow vested interests and represent them I am immune to such abject abasement. Constitution means securing power and some are willing to pander to it totally!
So we have a Constitution but who I wonder has ever read it with care as to understand its intent? 28 percent of MPs as the CVC PJ Thomas claimed the other day, are criminally charge-sheeted. Of course he has, as implied in his words, been under a cloud and a charge-sheet has been served on him. How come the Center has let him to be Chief Vigilance Commissioner? The Caesar put away his wife on the principle 'Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.' Julius Caesar as we know 'was wife to everyman and husband to every woman.' But then Romans loved their Caesars to be above every rule including moral laws. A Caesar can flout all laws of middle class decency but in the modern India even Chief Vigilance Commissioner ought to be clean, absolutely. Anything less would be like taking the millions of Indians for granted. The elected representative does not think of himself bound to be a citizen, laying the highest example in honor of his position. It is in a way showing his courtesy to the people he is called to serve. Whatever may be their shortcomings both Morarji Desai and Sardar Patel had rectitude and courage of their convictions. The latter even forbade his sons from wheeling and dealing from his official residence. The iron man didn't even want a smell of suspicion cling to him. Instead we have politicians extending both arms to shield those who are criminals. Politicians who are partial to the lawless and 'tainted' individuals with a view to votes and advancement in their political career are laying ground for every sort of mischief possible. They even condone 'contributions' as means to secure votes. It is thus how all good intentions are slowly eroded. Mr. PJ Thomas as an individual forgets himself that he with a criminal charge against him he cannot be an arbiter, and the Cabinet pretends everything will turn out all right if no one makes a fuss about it. This is how citizen and his elected representatives govern the nation, with their minds not fully engaged.
From that stirring speech from the ramparts of Delhi Jawaharlal Nehru spoke of a tryst with destiny.' Then came a license Raj as a sop to some business houses. Nehruvian model was not homespun like Khadi but from 'socialism' that he imbibed in his school days in England. If our national life is blighted by missed opportunites and puerile ideals of our leaders what have we done to counter them? Those who toadied upto the British and stirred the base passions as to religion and community, they now openly pass for the voice of 'moral order!'
Is it to be wondered then that we are 'according to Transparency International, the world's 87th most corrupt nation with an integrity score of 3.3? '
If we cannot live upto the highest ideals that we swear by we must not wonder why we have criminals laying our laws and speak platitudes. Our spiritual fathers were not living in the best of times but their highest standards set for themselves came out inspite of the worst excesses of their times. Mahatma Gandhi didn't ape the British in order to become the father of the nation. Living as he did among conflicts his ideals connected with a great soul of ancient times. Gautama Buddha didn't live when non-violence was the norm. But his spiritual strength to find a Golden Mean made millions of men in Asia find a standard to live by. Paradoxically India is his birthplace and we allow violence as a matter of course. If one group will right the past wrongs by destroying an old archaeological landmark those who were in power pretended as though did not see it.
If the Center cannot ensure religion to be kept in its place our secular claims are suspect and of little worth. If our leaders do not have courage of their opinions how can the Constitution be held up as a venerable article?
Here is a mail received this morning from one of my friends:
Sir Winston Churchill argument against granting india / Pakistan Independence
"Power will go to rascals, rogues, freebooters. . . .
All leaders will be of low caliber; and men of straw. . .
They'll have sweet tongues; and silly hearts. . .
They will fight amongst themselves for power; and the two countries will be lost in political squabbles. . . .
A day would come when even air and water will be taxed.
He wrote this 64 years ago. . .
Incredibly we've worked very hard to prove him right. . .
(Funny I was checking the Google for this particular quote without success and to get it as soon as I wrote this piece! Is it not something fortuitous? Coincidence pure and simple!-b)

The other day I had the dishwasher repairman in my house and he saw my Nikon sitting out. It turns out he was interested in photography and had a two year old granddaughter that was his primary
target subject… so we had a couple of things in common! I got to see some of his photos in the typical wallet folio (there's nothing like grandparent pride) and he asked to see some of Owen, who was napping at the time. You know what I grabbed? A photo canvas that was sitting on my mantel. And you know what else? He had no idea you could do that!!
Surely by now everyone knows how popular and fabulous canvas photo prints are, right?? Well, apparently not!
So I am here to tell you about how EASY and inexpensive this home photography display can be. Check out the canvas I got from EasyCanvasPrints.com:
I love this photo of Owen. It isn't the best photo, technically, but how can you argue with that smile and that sunlight? East Canvas Prints transformed my photo into this 11" x 14" canvas and all *I* had to do was upload the photo and click, click, click… done!
Some of the reasons I prefer Easy Canvas Prints:
- reasonable prices and shipping!
- you can choose a custom size
- and my favorite reason: there are several sizes and options for the "wrap". Most canvas printers make it so that you lose a pretty wide frame around your photo for the wrapping but Easy Canvas Prints has the option to "mirror" your print on the edges so you don't lose anything! You can also choose a color for the wrap. Options! LOVE them!
So if you haven't done one of these yet (or if you have and you just want some great options!) go check them out and create some super inexpensive wall art that you will love for years.

The entrepreneurial small-business spirit is alive and well in cyberspace. Unfortunately, a significant piece of it is devoted to crime, and a significant piece of that involves identity fraud.
A study released Wednesday by ID Analytics' ID:A Labs found more than 10,000 identity fraud rings in the U.S. -- some of them led by career criminals, but a surprising number amounting to mom-and-pop operations involving friends and family, said the author, Stephen Coggeshall.
Coggeshall told CSO Online while about two thirds of ID fraud attempts are shut down before they do any damage, that obviously leaves a third getting through.
While the average income of fraud ring members is unclear, it is clearly paying off, he said. "If these people weren't successful, they wouldn't be doing it."
The study, which covered the past decade but put most of its focus on the past three years, included an examination of more than a billion applications for bankcards, wireless services and retail credit cards. It found identity fraud rings attacking all three industries, with wireless carriers the favorite target.
Coggeshall said he found fraud rings throughout the U.S., but most were in a "belt of fraud stretching through the rural Southeast," from Virginia to Texas. He said one of the things that surprised him was that while lone individuals involved in fraud tend to come from urban areas, the fraud rings tend to be in rural areas.
"Another thing was that I expected to see mafia-type professionals who were not related, but just in business together," he said. "We do see that, but we also found large numbers of family and friends -- fraud rings where they share last names and addresses, so they're siblings, parents and children."
One of the things that likely makes this an attractive business opportunity in a poor economy is that even when attempted frauds are caught and rejected, the chance of perpetrators being arrested and prosecuted is low.
Coggeshall's report gave examples of several fraud rings that included significant detail. One, he reported, included, "a male and female over the age of 70, a woman of 48 with the same family name, and a second woman of 48 with a different last name."
"All participants are using multiple SSNs and last names; three have alternate first names and birthdates," he said. "Together, this identity fraud ring has perpetuated 345 falsified credit card applications and a fraudulent payday loan. The male is retired, but uses a former email address from a respected institution to increase credibility. This fraud ring is located in a subdivision in the Indianapolis area."
Yet, Coggeshall said, to his knowledge, none of the members of that ring or two others he profiled, in Washington, D.C. and McAllen, Texas, has been prosecuted or even arrested, which meant that he had to leave some details out of the report "to protect the privacy of the individuals involved."
"We work with the fraud shops at financial institutions, not directly with law enforcement," he said. "But I would think the FBI would be interested in working with us. Identity fraud around IRS tax returns is big problem. I would think."
Coggeshall said he broke down ID fraud into three major categories. "Most people know about identity theft," he said, "where somebody steals your personal information."
[See also: ID theft again tops consumer concerns]
ID theft of all sorts is enabled in part by organized cybercrime, said Richard Henderson, Security Strategist, FortiGuard Labs. "Selling of identities is one of the many services provide by organized cybercrime," he said. "Names and credit card numbers are among the more common forms that can easily be purchased."
And the risks in the crimeware business are about as low as they are in small identity fraud operations. "It's way too profitable," said Derek Manky, a senior security strategist at FortiGuard. "Crimeware equals high returns and almost zero risk for its creators."
What are less well known than ID theft are what Coggeshall calls synthetic identity fraud and identity manipulation.
The first is the fabrication of a new identity that has no connection to a real person. Generally, the creator will start by using that identity for purchases like a pre-paid cell phone "to try to build up some fidelity of it." Once that is done, it is then used to commit higher-level fraud.
Identity manipulation is more common and simpler. It involves things like changing one number of an SSN or a birthdate, while keeping other elements of a real ID the same. One technique, called SSN "tumbling," involves making repeated changes to known, valid SSNs for multiple account applications.
While it might seem that any amount of scrutiny would expose that kind of fraud -- how could a single person have 10 or 20 different SSNs? -- Coggeshall said, "It depends on the kind of product you're applying for. Sometimes a high credit score is required for approval, but sometimes they don't even check it."
Techniques to prevent that kind of fraud include the "layered" security approach recommended by numerous security firms. "Intrusion prevention, application control, web filtering, antispam and antivirus at a minimum," said Manky.
Coggeshall said his firm, recently acquired by LifeLock, provides a score for its clients on the likelihood of an application being fraudulent. He said the firm also offers a free service to consumers so they can find out how much of their identity is "in the wild."
"Most people are not at risk," he said. "But it's good to know for sure."
Henderson said consumers can protect their personal information by limiting who gets it. "Your SSN should only be given to your bank, your employer and the government," he said. "Credit card issuers and other companies who request this information do not have a legal right to it, nor can they deny you a service strictly because you wish to safeguard your personal information."

- Arthur Weasley: "Yes, a lot of offices have been raining lately. Did you try meteolojinx recanto? It worked for Bletchley."
- Ron (disguised as Reginald Cattermole): "Meteolojinx recanto? No, I didn't. Thanks, D-I mean, thanks, Arthur."
- — Arthur Weasley recommending the spell[src]
Meteolojinx Recanto is the incantation to a counter-charm that presumably causes weather effects caused by Weather-Modifying Charms such as the Atmospheric Charm to cease.
Known uses
In 1997, Arthur Weasley suggested that Reginald Cattermole (actually his son Ron in disguise) use this spell to stop the raining in the office of Yaxley, who was the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement while Lord Voldemort was in control of the Ministry of Magic. He commented that it had worked previously for Bletchley.[1]
The incantation for this spell is likely derived from meteorology, the study of weather, which originates from the Greek word metéōron, "high in the sky", as well as the English verb recant (from the Latin recantare, of which the first person singular present indicative active is recanto), "to withdraw or retract"[1].
Behind the scenes
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr, disguised as Alastor Moody by means of Polyjuice Potion, possibly used it to stop the Enchanted Ceiling in the Great Hall duplicating the effects of the storm outside.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (Dec. 5, 2012) -- Aiming to win for the third time in four games, the ETSU men's basketball team will take to the road Wednesday to face off with Colonial Athletic Association member James Madison.
Tip inside the JMU Convocation Center is set for 7 p.m.
The Buccaneers (2-3) will again play shorthanded, as freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) will miss the contest with an ankle injury, and junior Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) is still listed as day-to-day as he recovers from an ankle injury as well. Without either of those players, the Bucs would be playing with just six scholarship players.
For more on the game, read the game notes below or click on the game notebook link above. For more on the ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
After several years of quality returning players and at least some level of certainty regarding what to expect heading into the winter months, the 2012-13 ETSU men's basketball team will enter the new campaign with several questions and concerns. ... The loss of standout seniors such as Adam Sollazzo (Tampa), Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) will be hard to overcome, considering that group combined for a total of 3,091 points in their careers ... A year ago, the Bucs enjoyed quality wins such as a road victory over Atlantic 10 Conference foe Charlotte, and finished with a respectable 17 victories on the season. The team finished fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 10-8, reaching the league tournament semifinals. ... This season, the Bucs' top two returning starters were guards Sheldon Cooley (Tampa) and Marcus Dubose (Hartsville, S.C.), who both combined to score 19.7 points per game a year ago. ... However, both Cooley and Dubose have been dismissed from the team for violation of team rules and policies ... Along with those two, fellow guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) and forward Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) are the only other ETSU seniors to be returning after playing significant minutes last year, but Poderis is now lost for the season with a left foot injury and will be forced to redshirt, while Jones is academically ineligible for the first semester ... With so few returning, experienced players, ETSU will be looking to some unproven returning players, as well as a recruiting class that includes three incoming freshmen and a pair of junior college transfers, to come in and make an immediate impact. Sophomores Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) and John Walton (Memphis), along with redshirt freshman Lester Wilson (Knoxville) are expected to increase their production this year, while true freshmen guards Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.), Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.), and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) will look to blossom into early contributors. ... On the interior, Walton will need help from junior college transfers Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) and Hunter Harris (Nashville). While they may have plenty of questions entering the season, the Bucs' schedule will not provide much patience for development. The team will face teams such as North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss and Georgia in the opening weeks of the season, and will host 2011 Final Four participant VCU (Jan. 2) just days before the start of the Atlantic Sun Conference slate. The team will also enjoy a Christmas holiday trip to the Diamond Head Classic and face Arizona in the first round of that event on Dec. 22.
Last time out
With circumstances limiting the ETSU men's basketball team's roster to primarily seven players, the Buccaneers responded by placing four players in double figures en route to a 94-46 thumping of nearby Milligan College in non-conference basketball action at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... All four of those Bucs posted career highs, led by 27 points from redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville). Meanwhile, sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) netted 16 points, sophomore post John Walton (Memphis) posted 15, and true freshman guard Mario Stramaglia (Birmingham, Ala.) pitched in 14. ... The Bucs were without the services of junior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.), who missed the game while resting his injured left ankle. Meanwhile, even though he started and played 11 minutes, freshman point guard Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) sat out the majority of the contest simply to rest as well. ... It wasn't as though the Bucs needed much help on this night. ... ETSU dominated every statistical category in the game, shooting 55 percent from the floor and holding Milligan to just 37 percent shooting. Meanwhile, ETSU held a 43-21 advantage on the glass, forced 19 Milligan turnovers, picked up 10 steals and dished out 20 assists. ... The Bucs outscored Milligan 44-24 in the paint.
The series versus James Madison
The Bucs lead the all-time series with James Madison 7-4 ... The two teams met for the first time in 1974 and the last meeting was in 2011-12 ... ETSU won the last game between the two teams, 70-56, and the Bucs have won the last three games.
Last time out against James Madison
JOHNSON CITY (Jan. 30, 2012) – ETSU's senior class decided three losses in a row was enough. ... Senior forward Isiah Brown (Miami, Fla.) scored a season high 23 points, while fellow seniors Adam Sollazzo (Tampa) and Tommy Hubbard (Boston) pitched in 19 and 13 points, respectively, as the ETSU men's basketball team enjoyed a 70-56 victory over Colonial Athletic Association foe James Madison in non-conference hoops action inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The seniors were certainly impressive, led by Brown's 23 points, nine rebounds and five steals in just 20 minutes of play. Meanwhile, Sollazzo grabbed five boards and another pair of steals to go with his 19 points, while Hubbard snatched five rebounds, collected four steals and scored 13 points. ... Indeed, the Bucs put together a strong performance, picking up an impressive 18 steals in the game and forcing James Madison into 23 turnovers on the night. ETSU also out-rebounded the Dukes 30-25. ... The Bucs shot an impressive 53 percent from the floor and outscored James Madison 42-20 in the paint, as well as 21-7 on points off turnovers. ... ETSU's much-maligned offense looked definitively better in the first half of this game, as ETSU raced out to a 15-point edge at 20-5 with 10:47 left before the intermission. Unfortunately for ETSU, the Dukes regrouped at that point and outscored the Bucs 19-11 the rest of the half to cut the deficit to seven at the break, with ETSU leading 31-24. ... After the halftime break, the Bucs pulled back ahead by 16 at the 16:22 mark, and the Dukes never rallied.
Bartow atop list of second generation coaches
Murry Bartow's coaching lineage is undeniable ... As the son of the late Gene Bartow, he had the fortunate opportunity to grow up learning from one of the most successful basketball coaches in college history ... Setting off on his own career, Bartow has carried on the family tradition of success ... His 61 percent winning percentage at ETSU makes him the winningest Buccaneers' head coach by percentage, and his 180 wins at ETSU ranks second on the Bucs' all-time list ... In addition, Bartow's 283 career victories ranks No. 1 among second generation college coaches, besting the 252 wins by John Thompson III ... Along with his father's 647 career wins, the Bartow men have combined for 931 victories, ranking fourth on the all-time win list for Father/Son coaches.
Bucs not feeling charitable at the line
In a strange statistical anomaly, the Buccaneers have not had a free throw made against them in their last two games, and in fact, they did not even allow a team a free throw opportunity in their last game … Against Georgia, the Bulldogs were 0-for-1 at the charity stripe … Meanwhile, Milligan did not even attempt a free throw against the Bucs on Nov. 29 … Going back to the 1984 season, this was the first time no team has made a free throw against the Bucs, much less in back-to-back games.
Wilson named A-Sun newcomer of the week for second time
For the second time in his young career, ETSU redshirt freshman forward Lester Wilson (Knoxville) was named the Atlantic Sun Conference Newcomer of the Week on Nov. 27 ... The 6-foot-4 engineering major averaged 19 points and 5.5 rebounds last week as the Buccaneers picked up their first win of the season at Charleston Southern, and later dropped a contest at Southeastern Conference opponent Georgia. ... Wilson scored a career high 26 points and carried the Bucs' offense in the hard-fought 59-57 win over Charleston Southern. He followed that performance with a team-high 12 points in the loss to Georgia. ... For the week, Wilson shot 47 percent from the field and 44 percent from 3-point range.
Bucs get defensive in win at Charleston Southern
In their win against Charleston Southern, ETSU held its opponent to just 28.8 percent shooting from the floor ... It was the first time since Feb. 26, 2009 that the Bucs have kept a team under 30 percent shooting in a game ... In that 2009 contest, ETSU held Kennesaw State to just 26.3 percent shooting from the floor.
"Mr. Wilson" gives Bucs offensive spark
After red-shirting the 2011-12 season, Lester Wilson has been quite an addition for the Blue and Gold in 2012-13 ... In his first five collegiate games, Wilson is averaging 19.4 points and 6.0 rebounds, and currently leads the Atlantic Sun Conference in scoring ... The Knoxville, Tenn. native scored 20 points in his debut at Virginia Tech and followed that effort up with a 12-point showing against Tennessee Tech ... However, Wilson looked at his best, posting a career high 26 points and hitting on 5-of-10 shots from 3-point range in ETSU's win over Charleston Southern, and followed that performance with a career high 27 points in the win over Milligan.
Talented Bucs still face obstacle with experience
At no time in the tenure of ETSU head coach Murry Bartow have the Buccaneers had less experience ... Currently, the team has eight players who are eligible and healthy enough to play, of that group there is only four total years of Division I experience ... On average, that's less than a half year of experience per player ... With four freshmen and two junior college transfers that means 66 percent of the team is competing in their first season of Division I basketball.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 770 consecutive games. ... In that game back on Feb. 16, 1987, the Bucs were 0-for-8 in a loss to Davidson.
McClain makes start at point, Barrueta provides valuable play
True freshmen Petey McClain (Mobile, Ala.) and Yunio Barrueta (Miami, Fla.) showed signs of a bright future in the Bucs' loss at Virginia Tech ... McClain started at point guard and played 29 minutes, scoring six points and dishing out three assists ... Meanwhile, Barrueta came off the bench to net four points on 2-of-2 shooting ... Both players were once again in the starting lineup against Charleston Southern, with McClain playing all 40 minutes and dishing out seven assists.
Walton on his way up the depth chart
After playing limited minutes a year ago, forward John Walton (Memphis) has been impressing the ETSU coaching staff during the preseason and through the first five games of the 2012-13 campaign ... After hinting that Walton would demand more playing time this year, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow has started the 6-foot-7 sophomore in the Bucs' first two games this season ... at Virginia Tech, Walton responded with career highs for points (8), rebounds (5) and minutes played (30), and then bested or matched those marks with another eight points and eight rebounds in the win over Charleston Southern ... He set new career marks for points (15), rebounds (9) and minutes (30) in the win over Milligan (11/29).

JimAtIMD had een nieuw logo ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit386 ontwerpen ingezonden door91 freelance designers.
Insight Market Data
This is a brash start-up that is looking to disrupt and revolutionize consumer package good data marketing industry with a new and powerful technology. Where current companies offer generalized and dubious consumer preference metrics, IMD will provide incredibly granular and precise information about every shopper using this free system. Additionally it will allow manufacturers to use this data in real time to influence shopper behavior at the moment they are making a buying decision in the store.
The patented system has a shopper scan a product barcode using his/her smart cell phone. This scan event triggers the delivery of individually customized electronic coupons from relevant competing manufacturers. Not just whatever coupons are currently being offered, but coupons customized to the preferences and behavior patterns of that shopper.
The tagline of "Knowledge + Access = Influence" is totally optional.
I'm open to all good ideas here. I'm hoping for a logo that somehow conveys the unprecedented precision and granularity of the shopper data here, the immediacy of the shopper access, the power of being able to know what motivates a shopper in real time and then being able to use that knowledge to influence their purchase while they are in the store with the product in hand.
The primary audience for this main corporate identity is:
1) Marketing advertising executives of consumer package goods (groceries, electronics, anything with a UPC barcode on it). People who want to better understand their shopper's behaviors and motivations
2) Marketing and advertising executives in general. People who want to slice and dice the data this system will have to better understand the market for new products.
3) Academic and Government researchers who will want to analyze the data to see behavioral trends and understand other market influences.
There are a lot of concepts listed above so I'm excited to see what you can come up with.
The idea behind "Insight" is the double entendre of insight as "an understanding of the motivational forces behind one's actions and behavior" combined with the idea of a custom coupon being delivered while products are "in sight" in the store.
Yeah it's lame but c'mon, I'm just a programmer here. That's why I'm looking to you. :)
Thanks for taking the time on this!

Dan Umansky needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 126 designs submitted by 30 freelance designers.
The Life Insurance Pro
We are a 4 year old Life Insurance Wholesaler that caters to independant life insurance agents. Our firm is looking to reintroduce itself to our industry! Our logo thus far has served itself as a startup company but needs to be updated, revised, or even completely reconstructed!
Recently, much of our marketing materials have switched to reverse type (white and colored logo on BLACK BACKGROUND) We like this direction as it has helped us stand out from virtually every other vendor within our industry.
It's the LOGO itself that we have grown tired of and are looking to take bold steps to coincide with the bold direction we are taking the company as we are expierincing such a surge of growth.
Our target audience is independant life Insurance agents across the United States. Life Insurance agents are concervative commissioned sales people that are always looking to gain an edge and learn new ways to prospect, market themselves, meet their clients needs ans earn a handsome living. Our Firm "The Life Insurance Pro" believes we teach the secrets of success to these agents and uniquely reward them for placing those policies though our National Agency.
The Only requirements is that the name of my company must be in the logo design. I am totally open to new and edgy ideas. Currently we use an orange flame in our logo and materials. when we 1st came up with this "flame" it was supposed to signify FIRE and LIFE. I think I was actually watching the TV show "Survivor" when i came up with the idea. I don't think that this connection has actually caught on with our customers, but I felt it was important to give you a little background at just what the orange flame thingy is.
As we stated above we are totally open to either completely updating this element of the logo or eliminating it all together.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.
