Unfortunately it has come to light that the program ComboFix had a file in it that is infected with the Sality virus. The minute we heard about this, we pulled the executable so that it is no longer available from BleepingComputer.com. Unfortunately we have no control over other sites that may have mirrored ComboFix without permission, so please do not attempt to download it elsewhere.
The developer, sUBs, is currently looking into what happened and when I have a full update, I will be sure to let you know. From the limited information that I have, it appears that the affected version has been available since approximately 2am EST on January 29th, but it may have been earlier. If this timeframe changes, I will update this topic to let you know. If you have used a new copy of ComboFix in the last day or so, then you should examine your system for possible infection. If you have used a copy of ComboFix prior to this version, then you should be ok.
SHA256 Hashes of known affected versions are:
In the meantime, it is important for those who may have used ComboFix recently and are concerned they are infected to get the help they need. As the Sality infection has been around for a while, almost all antivirus vendors will have detected it and blocked it when you ran ComboFix. Unfortunately, not everyone has up-to-date virus definitions or uses an AV program, so it is important to examine your system if you have downloaded a new copy and used it since 2am EST.
The steps we suggest you take to make sure your computer is not infected are:<p>
- Scan your computer with ESET's Online Scanner.
- Download and scan your computer with the Kaspersky Rescue Disk
- Use SalityKiller if you are unable to use the above tools for some reason. When using this tool, you should disconnect from your network first.
- Use AVG Sality Remover Tool. When using this tool, you should disconnect from your network first.

Dirty Dancing's Baby is having the Time of Her Life in Cape Town
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Nobody puts Baby in a corner – and there is no doubt that the beautiful Bryony Whitfield, who plays the iconic character in Dirty Dancing: the Classic Story on Stage at the Artscape Theatre, will ever find herself in that position in theatre-loving Cape Town.
I had the amazing opportunity of seeing Whitfield, her too-sexy-for-words "Johnny", UK star Gareth Bailey, and the rest of the cast perform at the official opening night on Saturday 26 January, 2013 and I was left gobsmacked with appreciation and awe for this stage sensation.
Blink once and you might easily mistake the brunette beauty for Jennifer Grey, the actress who established the iconic role of Baby Houseman in the award-winning 1987 film, but it soon becomes apparent that Whitfield, a South African musical theatre-trained performer, wields an alluring magic all of her own.
Against the backdrop of ever-changing sets, done with flair by Stephen Brimson Lewis (complete with a real log for the scene where Johnny teaches Baby some balancing techniques, no less!) and under the direction of Sarah Tipple, Whitfield expertly portrays Baby's transformation from sweet naïve ingénue to confident and talented woman in dance and love.
I chatted to Whitfield about bringing Baby to the stage, her theatrical dreams and why she loves Cape Town:
Women the world over have wanted to be Baby. How does your portrayal of this iconic character differ from Jennifer Grey's?
When I heard earlier this year that I had landed the dream role of Baby, I couldn't stop watching the film with all the excitement. I studied Baby – especially the way she reacted to things. We were allowed to explore our own interpretation of the character, which gave us the freedom to bring an element of ourselves to the roles. I have taken a great deal of my own personal experiences and can relate to Baby in a wonderful way.
What inspires you?
I can be inspired by a stranger on the side of the road, selling a newspaper to a close friend. I believe your heart has to be open. You are in control of what inspires and moves you.
What do you hope audiences will take away from seeing Dirty Dancing on stage?
When I first saw the show in the UK I was really impressed. The way the stage production has been done is slick, clever and so effective. It's all done right. People come for the iconic lift, lines, characters, music and the love story – and the stage version really delivers. Audiences will leave feeling uplifted, and it promises for a good night out!
What were your first thoughts upon meeting Gareth Bailey, and how do you keep the chemistry between the two of you going?
Gareth and I have been together since day one, up close and in each other's faces and exploring our characters together. It does help that we get along really well off stage, too. When you working so close with someone it's nice to know that it is a safe, comfortable environment. We support and trust each other. I am proud and privileged to be working with Gareth, who is a not only a fantastic Johnny, but a great friend.
Which musical would you most like to perform in and as which character?
My childhood dream was to perform in Cats, and I was able to live that dream in 2009 when I performed the role of Sillabub. I would do that show again in a heartbeat. I have a few musicals on my list now. Here's to many more happy years in the industry.
Any advice for aspirant performers?
Build your life on positive thoughts.
Which one of the Dirty Dancing songs would best describe Cape Town?
Well, I'm really having The Time of my Life (the 1987 Academy Award winner for Best Song) in Cape Town right now! I always love visiting the Mother City and what a beautiful time of the year too, so I am doing a great deal of adventuring.
Why do you love Cape Town?
I love the beach, the mountain, the many adventurous things you can do here. It's really a beautiful place! Thank you, Cape Town for having the Dirty Dancing team.
Dirty Dancing: the Classic Story on Stage, brought to you by legendary theatre maestros Pieter Toerien, Hazel Feldman and Karl Sydow, runs at the Artscape Theatre until 3 March, 2013. Tickets for the show are R100 to R400, and are available at Computicket.

NICEVILLE — The 6-inch-tall vehicle made a turn and traveled a few more inches before sweeping perfectly into a parking space.
The students intently watching its progress and grinned at each other before continuing their careful watch as the vehicle backed out and went on its way.
Students from seven Florida high schools spent months building, programming and testing the autonomous "cars" in preparation for Saturday's Mini-Urban Challenge at Northwest Florida State College.
Watch a video on the competition. >>
View a gallery of the competition. >>
The students were graded on how well their cars navigated through the mini-city, said Mark Simpson, founder of the Doolittle Institute, which sponsors the competition with the Air Force Research Laboratory Munitions Directorate. Using sensors, the cars must stop at designated intersections, stay on the road, turn and even park.
All that without a remote control to steer them.
Students were given pieces of a map to calibrate their cars, Simpson said. They were also allowed to calibrate and test their cars in the mini-city before moving into the competition phase.
The teams were graded on a presentation of the technology they used to create an autonomous car.
In this one project, students gain experience in prototyping, research and development, manufacturing, software coding, problem solving, public speaking and collaborating, Simpson said.
Jordan Downs, of the Win-gineers team from Lyman High School in Longwood, said besides learning the importance of having enough testing time, the competition taught him perseverance and communication.
"There were points we could've exploded," he said with a laugh.
The competition's biggest goal is to get students interested in science, technology, engineering and math, Simpson said.
For Adam Castro of Godby High School in Tallahassee, the challenge gave him a way to compete in something he was interested in.
"If you have the thought, you can do anything (in programming)," Castro said.
Any schools that want to participate in the challenge are given the software and LEGO Mindstorms kit for free, said Casey Miller, the national co-chairman for the Mini-Urban Challenge. They can keep the equipment even if they don't participate the following year.
"Our goal is to reach those kids who wouldn't have an opportunity to participate in something like this," Miller said.
Society is moving toward autonomous technology and "the kids get a foundation" from the competition, he added.
The top two teams from Saturday's competition will be invited to compete against the top two teams from Louisiana, Ohio, California, and Washington D.C. in a national competition in June, Miller said.

Raw/Cooked: Ulrike Müller
- Dates: June 29, 2012 through September 16, 2012
- Collections: Contemporary Art
Raw/Cooked: Ulrike Müller
Ulrike Müller's Raw/Cooked exhibition, Herstory Inventory, is a two-part, collaborative project. The first is inspired by the inventory of the extensive T-shirt collection housed at the Lesbian Herstory Archives, a grassroots organization in Park Slope. Müller distributed the T-shirt descriptions to collaborators, including feminists and queer artists, instructing them to translate the words into new images; the result, 100 Feminist Drawings by 100 Artists, is on view here.
For the project's second segment, Müller turned her attention to the Museum's collection. She chose five key words that appear frequently on the inventory list and refer to lesbian, feminist, and queer symbolic imagery: flower, hand, rainbow, triangle, and axe. Using these terms to search the Museum's collections online, Müller selected objects for display, accompanied by her written commentaries. Herstory Inventory begins in the fifth-floor elevator lobby and extends to the lobbies on the fourth, third, and second floors.
Müller graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna. Her studio is in Sunset Park, Brooklyn.
Eugenie Tsai
The rainbow objects gathered in this case are made by American artists of both native and colonial heritage. Over the centuries, a range of mythological and spiritual meanings has been attributed to the rainbow. In its impermanence and immaterial beauty, this natural phenomenon can challenge our notions of what is real and possible.
In 1978, a San Francisco–based artist designed a flag with rainbow-colored stripes as a symbol of the diversity and unity of the LGBT community. Today this banner is internationally recognized. It is flown at gay and lesbian pride marches and other gatherings and displayed to mark community centers and queer-friendly businesses around the world.
—Ulrike Müller
The objects within this category feature triangular forms and zigzag lines, and they were all made by or for women. Displayed as a group, they propose an open and speculative response to questions regarding the absence or presence of queer bodies in the Museum. Can cultural invisibility be challenged by experimental, imaginative ways of looking?
As a symbol of gay liberation the triangle signifies pride and solidarity, but it also memorializes a history of homophobic violence. During the German Nazi regime (1933–45) homosexual men and "antisocial" women (a category that included feminists and lesbians) were persecuted and often killed. In concentration camps their prisoners' uniforms were marked with pink or black triangular badges.
—Ulrike Müller
Hands are powerful symbols in many cultures, as seen in the ancient Egyptian amulets and Buddhist ritual gesture on display here. Hands guide, protect, and signal. A cast of the hand of a beloved person may be a souvenir, but it may also contain a possessive claim—the one displayed here is prominently adorned with a ring that signifies marriage.
In drawings nearby, hands form fists and assume more immediately passionate meanings. Fists represent struggle and resistance to oppression, as in the radical feminist symbol that features a clenched fist in the center of the symbol for woman. Hands touch, stroke, pet, hit, poke, and penetrate; they are sensual, sexual, and political. Hands refer to agency, the ability to do things that affect others and the world.
—Ulrike Müller
The objects in this category present various ways of looking at flowers, in particular the white lily. This case displays the highly stylized form of an art deco vase together with an elegant black-and-white calyx on a dinner plate and a blocky lily printed on paper, whereas the watercolor installed on the wall nearby is based on careful botanical observation. The subject matter is handled very differently in each of these pieces, yet they all respond to the lily's suggestive form.
Historically, flower painting was considered a "minor" art form accessible to women and others excluded from life drawing classes and arts academies. Flowers, especially irises, appear in lesbian and feminist imagery owing to their seductive beauty and sexualized formal connotations.
—Ulrike Müller
Axes, swords, and knives can be tools or weapons. Whether their purpose is quotidian or ceremonial, the care applied to their form and adornment speaks to this power.
Since the 1970s the labrys, or double-bladed battle-axe employed by the mythological Amazonian women warriors, has been a symbol for lesbian feminist strength and self-sufficiency. It evokes a tradition of fierce lesbians working together to establish nonpatriarchal social structures. Monique Wittig writes, "Our symbols deny the traditional symbols and are fictional for traditional male culture, and we possess an entire fiction into which we project ourselves and which is already a possible reality. It is our fiction that validates us."

Thanks for the review!
Regarding gaming performance, I'm still seeing Atom Z2760 machines as a platform for legacy games. For a specific audience, this is an added value.
Hi Chris, I have just stuffed around with some of the games was a timely reminder of why I hate legacy games and all the stuffing around nevertheless, results:
* Starcraft installs, loads etc, some funny elements on the menu lag but seems playable however being limited to 800x600 makes it somewhat unplayable as it doesn't go full screen.
* Orion 2 couldn't get to work just a heap of errors, tried a few things wasn't gonna happen
* Masters of orion worked fine through dosbox, I think you could do the same for 2 but I'm out of time to play around.
I only wish there was an option to buy it without the keyboard dock, so far I couldn't find a shop that was over here.
haha thats pretty funny, not sure where you are but in the States they are struggling to find models that have the keyboard. Staples etc all have without keyboard. But yeah same thing in Aus looks like all the SKU's coming here are for with keyboard. Same with the Asus 810.

My 08 coupe is giving me a "FOB NOT FOUND" message and won't start at times. After about a week of phone calls, wrecker tows, and a few trips to the dealership, no one could locate any problems. Then, a few days later, I found myself locked inside the car and couldn't get out. In a panic I tried to use the OnStar, but it wouldn't work. I called OnStar on my cell phone, and they couldn't even locate my Corvette. I eventually called the dealership, and they reminded me about the manual door release on the floor. What's wrong with this car? Stanley Via the Internet
The keyless entry system on your new Corvette allows you to enter your vehicle by simply walking up to the door and pressing the door handle with the key fob in your pocket or purse. If the vehicle recognizes your fob, the door will unlock. Once inside, all you have to do is apply the brake pedal and push the start button, and your car will start. It's a wonderful concept, but with the added convenience come some inherent problems.
The keyless access operates on a radio frequency. What you're experiencing is interference from one of the devices in your car. Normally, this is caused by your Global Positioning System, or GPS. Other devices that can cause problems are cell-phone chargers, power inverters, and computers. GM has issued a Technical Service Bulletin-TSB 08-08-47-001-that covers this problem on '05-'08 Corvettes.
The following is a simple way to troubleshoot the problem:
• Turn on the device that may be causing the interference.
• Put your fob near the device and press the Start button.
• If the DIC displays a "NO FOB DETECTED" message, that device is most likely the cause of the problem.
• Turn off the suspected device and press the Start button.
• If the "NO FOB DETECTED" message is not displayed, you've found the culprit.
If the first device is not at fault, repeat the process for all other possible sources of interference.
While we're on the subject, we should mention a few other fob problems that can occur with the '05-'08 models. Some owners have reported hearing a chiming when exiting the car, indicating that there's a fob inside, even when there isn't. Other owners have heard the fob reminder (three horn honks) when exiting the vehicle with the fob. A last concern is the occasional "NO FOB DETECTED" message on the DIC when no other problems can be found.
If you're experiencing one or more of these symptoms, you probably need to have the RCDLR (Remote Control Door Lock Receiver) module reprogrammed. The problem is that the RCDLR isn't sensing that the fob has left the car, hence the chimes and honks. Updated software will enhance the module's zone coverage and also add a two-second delay after the door closes before it checks for the fob in the interior. Your dealer should have the updated software. For the '05-'07 models, use software version 25927325; for '08s, use version 25927326.
If that's not enough fob trouble for you, there's also a customer-satisfaction campaign that addresses a defective module. This bulletin is No. 07260A, and it only affects '08 models with VINs between 85105302 and 85106987. A letter should have been sent to all owners whose vehicles were impacted.
If you're receiving the "NO FOB DETECTED" message and need to start the car, try moving the fob to different locations in the vehicle. You can also trying placing it in the fob pocket (located in the glove compart-ment) with the buttons facing to the right, and pressing the Start button. Good luck.

Nigerian Barbie® Doll
Hello and sannu (welcome) from Nigeria, the land of 'talking drums' and friendly faces. Because the weather in Nigeria is almost always hot, the native people dress in light clothing. Nigerian Barbie doll wears a brown, beige, and black swirled dress with golden accents. She also wears golden armbands and matching slip-on shoes. Her black hair is pulled slightly away from her face, and tied with a matching head-scarf.
Production doll may vary from the photo shown above. Mattel reserves the right to modify the fashion/fabrics, sculpt, hair color/style, and accessories. Doll cannot stand alone as shown.

There were 10 dogs and about 16 puppies in the kennel at the time of investigation.
Kennel appeared to be illegally operating
Whispering Oaks Kennel is noted as being voluntarily closed down. I spoke with the kennel owner who said that she used to breed more dogs than she does now. The dogs were kept in a single metal barn near the house. I saw several pieces of chain link fencing piled outside the barn. Inside was a row of dog pens made of chain link doorways and plastic walls.
The kennel owner told me that she "doesn't have that many litters," though she had three litters of puppies in the kennel at the time I was there. She said she sells puppies to a man named Dennis from the state of Maryland. Her only description of Dennis was that he is black and pays her in cash, and she claimed she didn't know his last name.
Dogs in the kennel
Though listed as being closed down, Whispering Oaks Kennel was operating as a breeding facility with over two dozen dogs and puppies in it. One pen contained six to eight Shih Tzu puppies that were not captured on tape. They were located further from the door accessing the barn as the other pens. As I viewed the dogs and puppies in the building, the owner stood closer and closer to my left. Therefore, I stopped pressing towards the other pens to not arouse further suspicion. Each pen held the following dogs: six Shih Tzu puppies; a nursing German Shepherd and three puppies; two Chihuahuas; two Pomeranians; two Jack Russell Terriers; two Shih Tzu; and one Shih Tzu.
Violations noted at the facility included all three of the adult Shih Tzu having thickly matted fur (PA Dog Law: 21.30 Condition of dog), and the Shih Tzu and small dog pens all had several days of feces in them, evident even through the wood chips used to cover their floorings (PA Dog Law: 21.29(a) Sanitation).
I contacted Jesse Smith's office on 11/1/07 to send a report to the proper state dog warden that Whispering Oaks kennel appeared to be operating a kennel without a license while requiring one. I was later informed via e-mail by PA Dog Law that their department was aware of the situation and monitoring it.

A busy day on the news frontPosted by on November 27, 2012 – 7:17 pm
The big news coming out of Coach Mike Tomlin's press conference on Tuesday was that running back Jonathan Dwyer will start on Sunday against the Ravens and while Ben Roethlisberger threw for the first time on Monday, Charlie Batch will start this week.
But that wasn't all of the news. Tomlin discussed the roster moves the team made on Monday, which included activating guard David DeCastro from injured reserve/designated to return where he has been all season, and in turn placing tackle Marcus Gilbert on injured reserve with an ankle injury that just isn't progressing.
"We gave (Marcus) up to six or seven weeks for that ankle to perk up," said Tomlin. "We knew that it was a possibility that it would not. It has not. Surgery is a strong option that would require him to go on IR. That created a spot, or an opportunity.
"David DeCastro has been working here for a week in terms of practice. He's healthy enough to proceed. We slotted him and moved him up and we'll just continue to work him in practice and see what he's capable of doing."
It's another move on an offensive line that is dealing with their share of injuries. Guard Willie Colon didn't play against the Browns because of swelling in his knee, but is expected to be back this week. Tackle Mike Adams sprained his ankle against the Browns and will miss this week's game. Rookie Kelvin Beachum, who stepped in last Sunday for Adams, will replace Adams in the starting lineup, but the team also has starting guard Ramon Foster available to slide over to tackle if need be.
"That is potentially an option, but based on our strengths and what we know right now, Kelvin Beachum has played and DeCastro has not, other than preseason football," said Tomlin. "We feel that that's the best mode at this point.
"Obviously, position flexibility has got to be an element in this thing as we push forward through the week. With Mike Adams being down, Ramon is going to have to be tackle-capable. He could be the third tackle as I sit here right now, but that's just normal football for us. We value position flexibility. We acknowledge that guys are going to have to show multiple skills in order for us to be the type of team that we desire to be."
* * *
Wide receiver Plaxico Burress saw his first game action of the 2012 season against the Browns, after signing with the Steelers on Nov. 20, and Tomlin liked what he saw.
"I thought he provided a shot in the arm, particularly there at the end of the first half for us," said Tomlin. "We targeted the red area as a place to utilize him and a place to begin teaching him what it is that we do and fitting him into what it is that we do.
"We'll continue with that process this week and obviously there is a chance his role could expand outside of that area as well, and should."
* * *
While Roethlisberger and Byron Leftwich both threw on Monday, newly signed back-up quarterback Brian Hoyer is still on a revved-up pace of learning the offense, and Tomlin foresees it moving in a positive direction this week.
"He's doing a nice job of picking it up and right now I guess he could be described as an emergency guy, just not enough exposure," said Tomlin. "Hopefully, that changes over the course of this week and I think that is a possibility."

I have gotten to the point at my job that even if I browse the board/reddit for half the day I am still at least twice as efficient as my back shift.
I have gotten to the point at my job that even if I browse the board/reddit for half the day I am still at least twice as efficient as my back shift.
I heard that management told a couple people to stop, but my union rep (who sits near me) was saying unless management tells us individually or sends out an email for all of us, we should continue to click as planned. I know this is silly, but I much prefer non-violent subordinate acts than violent ones, like say what happened in South African platinum mines.
No, it's not quite that bad. I don't have a dangerous job either, but the techs who climb telephone poles and whatnot, THAT is dangerous. (again, I work for the local phone company)
I was hoping to get a little encouragement here since democrats have traditionally supported union workers in the past, but you all are kind of being dicks.
i don't mean to be an asshole, and I do support your non-violent tactics.
but you have to admit the clicking thing is silly from an outsiders perspective.
do your thing amy. fight the good fight.
Not sure if you stated this, but what exactly is not being agreed upon between the employer and the bargaining units?
I was union for a few years at UPS.
I was ready to turn my back on those low lifes and get promoted to mgmt in a heartbeat. Yes, the union wiped my ass for the few years I was a part of it, but my god 95% of my "brethren" were horrible examples of what it means to be a honest hard working citizen.
It was a blessing I had a job opportunity open up in a completely different field of work right when I finished my last interview for promotion. Had I been promoted out of the union...I probably would have hated the union even more.
My employer wants to move us to their shitty health care plan (with their non-bargained-for employees), and they want to create a new job title for most of the non-sales/non-customer-facing jobs which will pay one third of our current salary. That means I will not want to move to another job title because I would be paid one third of what I get now, and anyone who comes into my department gets paid that shitty pay for doing that same work I do. And I think they are trying to move the retirees to that health plan which gives the retirees a set amount for health care and then tops out at a certain amount. I am not clear on the details because my union and my employer are not being specific.
Also, that new job title is what we get if the company agrees to stop off-shoring our work to the Phillipines.
The president of this branch approached me yesterday asking about Daylight Savings Time. I thought it was cute.
Yes, I have been going online and sending out resumes every Friday morning. I am also going to send one to my friend who might have a position at her office. I need an escape route, these guys are just going to keep adding more to my plate till I lose my mind.
so amy you're moving to the Philipines?

The South's Decision to Secede: A Violation of Self Interest?
In deciding to secede from the Union in 1861, did the South violate its own self-interest and thus disprove the economic principle that people seek to further their self-interest in the decisions they make? The South was quite aware of the North's economic superiority at the start of the war. Still, 11 Southern states made the momentous decision to sever ties with the United States, form a separate government, and pit brother against brother in the bloodiest war ever fought by our country.
Learn to use the tools of economic reasoning to explore, examine, and to reach some surprising conclusions regarding this tricky question.
You will assume the role of a Southern Secessionist in 1861. In this role you will compare and contrast the North and the South, taking note of strengths and weaknesses on both sides as civil war approached. Using the PACED method of economic reasoning, you will create a decision grid to decide whether it is in your own best interests,as a Southerner, to leave the Union. Finally, you will analyze the opportunity costs involved in the Southern decision to form the Confederate States of America.
1. There is a great deal of controversy among historians about why the South decided to go to war against the North in 1861. Economically, the North was much stronger than the South. Given the superior economic power of the North, it might seem surprising that the South would choose to fight a war of secession, one that it seemed likely to lose. Did the South's decision fly in the face of a basic principle of economic reasoning? In deciding to go to war, did the South act against its own self-interest?
2. Look at Visual 1 and Visual 2. Compare and contrast the North and South, noting the advantages and disadvantages of each as the South as it made its momentous decision to secede.
3. Civil War historians disagree over the causes of the American Civil War. Visit the following web sites to learn more about these complex and diverse causes.
www.swcivilwar.com/ www.civilwar.com/ www.civilwarhome.com/confederatecauses.htm www.civilwarhome.com/confederatecauses.htm http://members.tripod.com/~greatamericanhistory/gr02013.htm americancivilwar.com/documents/
4. Access Handout 1, 'Alternatives to Eliminate Slavery and Avoid Civil War.' Using what you have learned about the Civil War, answer the questions.
5. Economists use economic reasoning to weigh costs and benefits of choices and to help them reach logical conclusions. You will apply economic reasoning here to analyze the South's decision to secede; in your analysis you will use a five-step decision model known as the PACED method, along with a benefits/cost analysis decision grid.
6. Access Handout 2, 'Creating a Costs/Benefits Analysis: Why did the South Secede?' and the Decision Grid. Remember that Southerners believed that following as the South made its bid for independence:
a. Any war caused by secession would be a short war.
b. Most Northerners would not fight to abolish the institution of slavery.
c. The war would cost no more than $12 billion dollars-far less than the overall value of the entire Southern economy.
d. Slaves were not people but property. They were considered capital resources: "machines" that were necessary to maintain the South's plantation economy.
7. Use Handout 2 and the Decision Grid to determine whether the South was acting in its own best interests when it made the decision to secede from the Union.
8. Although the South did act on what it considered its own best interests in 1861, it seriously underestimated the actual costs of the war. This fact illustrates the economic principle that the consequences of our decisions lie in the future, and the validity of a theory is substantiated only by its proof.
1. Look at Visual 3. Economic consequences may be negative (harmful) or positive (beneficial).
2. Search the Web for sites related to the effects of the American Civil War or the aftermath of the American Civil War. These sites might be a good place to start:
3. In teams, discuss the economic consequences from the perspective assigned by your teacher. Present your findings to the class.
Now take a quick quiz to see how much economics you have learned from this lesson.
1. Create a decision grid from the perspective of a Northerner who will have to fight to defend the Union or to abolish slavery.
2. Using Handout 2 and the Decision Grid, create a decision grid from the perspective of a Southern slave newly freed by Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. As a newly freed African American, you have an opportunity to fight as a Union soldier. Is it in your best interests to do so?

The Appalachian region was largely settled in the 1700s by the Scotch-Irish, the majority of whom originated in the lowlands of Scotland. Harkins believes the most credible theory of the term's origin is that it derives from the linkage of two older Scottish expressions, "hill-folk" and "billie" which was a synonym for "fellow", similar to "guy" or "bloke".
Although the term is not documented until 1900, there have been many conjectural etymologies for the term, including:
- The term originated in 17th century Ireland for Protestant supporters of King William of Orange. Roman Catholic King James II landed at Kinsale in Ireland in 1689 and began to raise a Catholic army in an attempt to regain the British throne. Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange, led an English counterforce into Ireland and defeated James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. A significant portion of William III's army was composed of Protestants of Scottish descent (Planters) who had been settled on land confiscated from Catholics in Ulster, the northernmost of the four provinces of Ireland. The southern Irish Catholic supporters of James II referred to these northern Protestant supporters of King William as Billy Boys — Billy being an abbreviation of William.
- The term in the United States was conferred during the early 18th century by the occupying British soldiers as a carry over from the Irish term, in referring to Scots-Irish immigrants of mainly Presbyterian origin, dwelling in the frontier areas of the Appalachian Mountains. These Protestant Irish colonists brought their cultural traditions with them when they immigrated. Many of their stories, songs, and ballads dealt with the history of their Ulster and Lowland Scot homelands, especially relating the tale of the Protestant King William III, Prince of Orange.
- Many of the settlers in the Appalachian mountains were of German origin and were named Wilhelm with the short form Willy, a common German name during that time. Those Wilhelms, who went by Bill or Billy, living in the Appalachian Mountains became known as hillbillies, that is Bills who lived in the hills.
- The term emerged as a derogatory nickname given by the coastal plain-dwelling Southerners to the hill-dwelling settlers of Eastern Tennessee, Western Virginia (including modern West Virginia), and Eastern Kentucky, many of whom were ambivalent to the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
The use of the word was probably most apt (and relatively inoffensive) during the period between the western expansion of the early-to-mid nineteenth century and the post-war period of the 1940s. The advent of the interstate highway system and television brought many previously isolated communities into mainstream United States culture in the 1950s and 1960s. The Internet continues this integration, but many communities with relatively traditional lifestyles remain throughout the region.
Historically, there were conflicts between the mountain-dwelling "hillbillies" and the planters who lived on the coastal plains. During the American Civil War, many residents of western Virginia were pro-Union in that they generally did not own slaves and resented the political dominance of planters who did. The image of the Unionist mountaineer in West Virginia is misleading, however, as the mountainous counties of central, southern, and eastern West Virginia all voted for the Ordinance of Secession on May 23, 1861. A total war was waged against the mountaineers in much of West Virginia, whose residents were deemed "savages" by Union military authorities. Braxton and Webster counties were particularly targeted by Gen. George Crook. "Braxton and Webster are the haunts of the worst Rebel Bushwhackers in the country," wrote Lt. Col. Rutherford B. Hayes. After the war, the Wheeling government carved two new counties out of Secessionist counties and named them after Lincoln and Grant.
Now, the older name is widely deemed offensive (and inappropriate). However, the term hillbilly music is now sometimes used to describe old-time music. An early tune that contained the word hillbilly was "Hillbilly Boogie" by the Delmore Brothers in 1946. Earlier, in the 1920s, there were records by a band called the Beverly Hillbillies. In 1927, the Gennett studios in Richmond, Indiana, made a recording of black fiddler Jim Booker with other instrumentalists; their recordings were labeled "made for Hillbilly" in the Gennett files, and were marketed to a white audience. Also during the 1920s, an old-time music band known as the Hill Billies featuring Al Hopkins and Fiddlin' Charlie Bowman, achieved acclaim as recording artists for Columbia Records. By the late forties, radio stations broadcast music described as "hillbilly," originally to describe fiddlers and string bands, but was then used to describe the traditional music of the people of the Appalachian Mountains. The people who actually sang these songs and lived in the Appalachian Mountains never used these terms to describe their own music.
Popular songs whose style bore characteristics of both hillbilly and African American music were referred to, in the late 1940s and early 1950s as hillbilly boogie, and in the mid-1950s as rockabilly. Elvis Presley was a prominent player of the latter genre. When the Country Music Association was founded in 1958, the term hillbilly music gradually fell out of use. However, the term rockabilly is still in common use.
Later, the music industry merged hillbilly music, Western Swing, and Cowboy music, to form the current category C&W, Country and Western.
The famous bluegrass fiddler Vassar Clements described his style of music as "hillbilly jazz."
Billy Hill and the Hillbillies are a musical/variety group at Disneyland Park (Anaheim) in Anaheim, California.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by JourdanEmma Cute but take a while to break in These shoes hurt the first few weeks I had them, the back is stiff so they are hard to break in. I purchased these in the blue and the color is great. Love the cut. Very cute and well made. 12.5.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by somuchbetter Bold but Stinky Even though these go with SO very much and are adorable... I had to knock of two stars. One because the dye came off on my skin several times and two, no matter what I do.... these shoes reek of something. I have to actually put them in a different closet because the smell is terrible. 8.19.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Ray91 cute! I was really torn on whether or not to get these. $100 for a pair of flats? That's still a lot, but I do really like these. I'm a 7.5 which seems a tiny bit loose but I don't think a different size would help... There is definite toe cleavage, so if that's not your thing don't get these. I love them, just wish it was a closer fit (: 3.16.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by kelseyhinson Perfect basic. Bought these in black suede and I wear them with everything. These run true to size for sure. I'm usually a 7.5, 8 if half sizes aren't available so I purchased in a 7.5. My foot is a little wider so it took a bit to break them in but once I did they became a quick addition to many outfits. Lots of compliments, too. 1.29.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by jboogie Blue looks more like purple Just got these and I'm on the fence about keeping them. They are cool looking flats but I really wanted blue and the color is more of a purple depending on the light. But I do like them. They definitely run true to size - they are a little snug on me but I know if I size up they'll be too big. 10.20.2012

Timing Belts, Timing Chains & Components at 1A Auto
What is a Timing Chain and where is it Located?
The timing chain is the most important part of an automotive's engine timing system. Typically located on the front of the engine, the timing chain syncs together the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. While most older automobiles only had one camshaft inside the engine block and required only one timing chain, today's more complex overhead cam motors can have as many as 4 cams and multiple chains connecting everything together.
Although it is rare for a timing chain to break, and can often last as long as the engine itself, they can stretch over time. To compensate, some automotives use timing chain tensioners to eliminate slack in the chain. However, if the stretch is too far out of specification, or the tensioner fails, the camshafts and crank will not be properly aligned with each other. As a result, the engine will lose power and typically trigger the "Check Engine" light on the dashboard. If there is something wrong with the timing chain and a replacement is required, this will need to be taken care of as soon as possible in order to get the car back on the road again.
What is a Timing Belt and where is it Located?
Much like the timing chain, timing belts connect the camshaft to the crankshaft. However, instead of being a metal link design, timing belts are made of reinforced rubber. In order to fit in tighter and more intricate engine designs, the timing belt system may incorporate the use of multiple hydraulic or mechanical timing belt tensioners, and belt tensioner or idler pulleys.
Since timing belts are rubber, they do require scheduled maintenance. The typical service life of an engine timing belt, at which point a replacement is required, is between 50,000 and 70,000 miles, but you should refer to manufacturer's specifications for your specific application. A worn engine timing belt can break, causing a complete failure of the engine to operate. In vehicles equipped with Interference Engines, this could mean severe damage to the motor since the pistons and valves are only kept from colliding with each other by the timing belt's movement. If the timing belt has been damaged prior to the recommended interval, a timing belt replacement must be obtained and installed immediately.
For an even more in-depth explanation of mechanical timing, belts, chains, how they each work, why they fail, maintenance and replacement tips and more, check out our timing belts Vs. timing chains guide.

"You've got to train for life. Well, anyway, the best thing I've ever done in my whole life and the thing that's pleased me the most is my Corvettes."-Jack LaLanne with VETTE (December 2006)
Jack LaLanne is America's oldest and most loved fitness expert. He opened the first modern health spa in America in 1936 and brought physical fitness to national TV in 1951. His inventions include the first weight pulley machines using cables, the first weight selectors, and the first leg-extension machine. He was the first fitness trainer to have women work with weights, and he encouraged the disabled and elderly to exercise for their own health. But there's something you probably don't know about Jack LaLanne.
His passion has always been fast cars-the faster, the better. In-between his fitness routines and motivational talks across the United States, Jack gets behind the wheel of his fourth Corvette, an '05 coupe. Yes, you read that right: Jack LaLanne, at 92 years young, is the proud owner of America's premier 400hp supercar. Figuring he was the oldest Corvette-owning celebrity alive, we asked him for an interview. Somewhat surprisingly, he agreed.
You see, Jack LaLanne is a top-rated celebrity. If you're old enough to remember black-and-white TV, you likely saw him every week on The Jack LaLanne Show. Even through the '80s, Jack was often seen with his famous smile, friendly tone, and inspiring personality, getting people off their couches and onto their living room floors for sit-ups, push-ups, and leg lunges.
More recently, Jack has promoted longevity with infomercials for his Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. He's an inventor, a seminar speaker, and a hero to many. He spoke with us last December from his company's office in Morro Bay, California.
"We've never been busier," Jack told us, describing his life with his wife and partner of 54 years, Elaine. "We've never been more successful in our lives than we are today. Everybody wants my lecture seminars, and man, we go, go, go. We're hardly ever home."
When Jack is home, he enjoys driving and posing for photographs with his C6. The car is finished in Magnetic Red Metallic over Ebony leather and is equipped with a four-speed automatic transmission. Jack tells us he enjoys manually shifting through the gears one redline visit after another. You see, he isn't a newcomer to performance. He loves how the Corvette accelerates, corners, steers, and generally outperforms every other car he's ever owned.
We started the interview this way:
VETTE Magazine: Mr. LaLanne?
Jack LaLanne: Mr. LaLanne couldn't make it. Jack came instead.
VM: What may we ask you?
JL: Anything. My life's an open book.
So we began asking Jack about his love affair with the Corvette. He told us it goes all the way back to 1953 and the car's introduction. He's owned four Vettes since, including a '53 roadster, a '97 LS1 coupe, and his current LS2 '05 coupe. Jack made sure we understood that the Corvette has always been a part of his life.
"I love the Corvette. I had the first one that ever came out. I think it was a '53. The first one. And man, it was something."
We had to calculate how long ago that was: 54 years. That sounds like a long time until one realizes Jack has been driving for 80 years. To us, that's a serious accomplishment. To Jack, it was another day of living with his cardinal rule: "If I can't please Jack LaLanne, then I'm a failure. What the hell are you going to be successful [at] if you can't please yourself?"
By 1953, Jack LaLanne had already been on TV for two years, bringing exercise into American homes. He drove his Corvette every day to the studio where his show was produced. "Oh, yeah, wherever I went, it went with me. Well, you know the people were talking about it, and I liked the looks of it. It was a sporty car," Jack told us.
We asked him what people thought of the '53 Corvette at the time. After all, it's easy today-five model-generations later-to take the very first Corvette for granted. To many, the car was merely a part of history. To Jack, it marked a proud moment in his career. "Well, it was a conversation piece," he told us. "You know, they were so different."
But alterity wasn't the early Vette's only defining trait. "The Corvette's always had a great name. Say 'Corvette' and everybody thinks of something really different and really fast and sporty."
We saw instantly the connection between Jack LaLanne and the Corvette. Both have the best physiques in the business. Both are household names. Both outperform the competition-not that there is any. With that in mind, we asked Jack if he preferred Corvettes for their well-sculpted bodies or their track-honed performance. "Oh, it's both," he laughed. "I like the way they look. They're different. You know, how many cars out there look like Corvettes?"
"Not too many," we agreed.Jack continued talking, "You want something nobody else has. You don't want an old look-alike thing, and that's why Corvettes have the reputation of being one of the fastest cars. For the money, honey, how can you beat a Corvette?"
We weren't going to argue with Jack LaLanne. After all, at 92, he could whip the VETTE editorial staff with both hands tied behind his back. We read Jack's biography. This is a man who set a world record of 1,033 push-ups in 23 minutes and later "commemorated the 'Spirit of '76' by swimming 1 mile in Long Beach Harbor, handcuffed, shackled, and towing 13 boats (representing the 13 original colonies) containing 76 people."
Jack has had every car imaginable, and he told us why the Corvette is still the best vehicle ever made. "You buy a Lamborghini or a Ferrari-one of those cars, they'll cost a couple hundred thousand [dollars], and they don't do much better than a Corvette. I've always had good cars, and a Corvette is one of the [best] cars I've had. I've had Lamborghinis, I've had Ferraris, I've had Stutz Blackhawks. You name it, I've had them. What did I spend on my Vette? Sixty grand? For the money, Corvette is tops."
We asked Jack what kind of exotic steel-skinned beauties he dreamed about well before the Corvette was envisioned as well as the earliest automobiles he could recall. "I've always dreamed about sports cars. Always . . . something sporty, something different. The first car I had was a Model T. You pushed it up the hill with your feet. Yeah, you know, you had to crank the thing and all that crap. I'll never forget getting in it. And then we had a '24 Chevrolet. I'll never forget that. The damn car stalled. We were taking a trip with my family and my brother told me-I was just a kid-told me to go out and crank it. So I cranked the damn thing, and it kicked and broke my arm."

A tale of competition at its most cut-throat, the story surveys the raw ambition of Laura Pickler, the wife of Bob Pickler, Iowa's long-reigning champion butter carver. For 15 years, Laura has relished her high-profile role as the beautiful, loyal helpmate to her affable, artistically gifted husband. But when Bob is pressured to retire and allow someone else a chance at glory, an indignant Laura decides to enter the competition herself. She is first in line on sign-up day, only to see her odds of victory fall below 100% with the arrival of an unlikely yet formidable contender: 10-year-old Destiny, the African-American foster child of local couple Julie and Ethan. And that's not all. Bob's would-be mistress, bad-girl stripper Brooke also declares her candidacy, as does his #1 fan, Carol-Ann. Facing three opponents, mocked by her stepdaughter Kaitlen and furious with her husband, Laura resolves to do whatever it takes to win. And if that means resorting to sabotage - and recruiting her dim-witted former boyfriend Boyd as a co-conspirator - then so be it

Sony Cyber-shot TX7
Sony has launched the TX7 at CES, as a sort of fashion take on a fairly high-end compact digi-cam.
Said to be "exquisitely finished in a choice of three fashion colours", the slimline TX7 gets a 4x optical zoom lens capable of 25mm wide-angle capture.
Boasting Sony's Bionz processor, it's a 10.2-megapixel effort. The back sees a large 3.5-inch LCD display that boasts touchscreen functionality while there's also 1080i video capture thrown into the mix.
With no pricing revealed, it's due to hit shop shelves after the end of Jan - so take a gander at the gallery of hands-on pics below in the meantime.

When Google announced Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, I immediately became excited. Not because it was a complete overhaul to what I consider to be the best Android operating system to date but because of the little nuances that Google added to Jelly Bean. And finally, after a bit of a wait, I received the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for my Nexus 7 last night. Did it match up with my excitement? Read on as I present my first impressions of the Nexus 7 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update.
Yesterday, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean began rolling out for the Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone. Both updates seem to be rolling out relatively slow as I've heard from many Nexus 7 owners who have yet to receive the update from Google.
