Cybercrime saw significant growth in 2009. It increased in prevalence and geographic spread. The only thing that didn't grow was the skill level required to participate. It was easier for non-skilled attackers to conduct sophisticated attacks because of the availability of toolkits. The increase in manpower has led to an increase in most areas of cybercrime.
The growth of cybercrime has come despite a global recession that has stunted the growth of almost every other industry. The growth of cybercrime has been fueled by an increase in Internet users, especially those in developing countries.
However, businesses can protect their information from these pervasive dangers. Understanding the threat landscape is the first step. The following highlights from the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report XV can help organizations understand just what they're up against.
Cybercrime Keeps Growing
Malicious code is as prominent as ever. In 2009, Symantec identified more than 240 million distinct new malicious programs - a 100 percent increase over 2008. Last year Symantec blocked an average of 100 potential attacks per second.
Compromised confidential information continues to be an issue. Sixty percent of all data breaches that exposed identities were the result of hacking. This problem is not limited to a few larger enterprises. According to the Symantec State of Enterprise Security Report, 75 percent of all companies surveyed experienced some sort of cyber attack during the last year.
Cybercrime is a universal problem. Attackers have moved from using simple scams to launching highly sophisticated campaigns targeting some of the world's largest corporations and government entities. The scale of these attacks and the fact that they come from all over the world makes this an international problem requiring the cooperation of the private sector and global governments.
Less Skill Is Required to Engage in Cybercrime
The emergence of attack toolkits has made cybercrime available to anyone regardless of their computer knowledge and expertise. Novice computer users can purchase a kit and almost immediately begin deploying sophisticated and varied threats. Toolkits such as Zeus can be purchased for as little as $700. Some toolkits allow customization, resulting in many variants being created. Because there are an increasing number of cybercriminals entering the space, the number of threats is increasing and the number of people being affected is increasing as well.
Underground Economy a Bull
Credit cards and bank accounts continued to be the most advertised items on the underground economy in 2009 - illustrated in part by a notable increase in credit card dumps. Such dumps, which are sometimes referred to as cloned credit cards, increased by 150 percent from 2008 to 2009.
Social engineering tactics have changed to take advantage of the evolving financial landscape. More malicious messages incorporate themes such as refinancing loans, consolidating debt, reducing credit card interest rates, etc.
Enterprises Subject to More, Targeted Attacks
Cyber attacks are not just more sophisticated, they're also much more targeted. Many of them are full-fledged yet subtle campaigns. Cyber attacks remain undetected to penetrate deeply into the corporate network. While these targeted attacks have been occurring for several years, they have taken center stage recently, with incidents such as Hydraq.
Targeted attacks use zero-day vulnerabilities and spear-phishing type attacks. Attackers usually research a company and its employees by gathering information from corporate websites, news articles, social networks and other sites. Many targeted attacks aim to steal information about the organization's customers and employees, but other information - like intellectual property and corporate strategies - are also targeted.
Web-Based Attacks Are the Biggest Threat - and Are Getting Bigger
Four out of the top five attacks in 2009 targeted client-side vulnerabilities in widely used applications such as Internet Explorer and PDF readers. Suspicious PDF file downloads were the largest threat and accounted for 49 percent of all Web-based attacks, up from 11 percent in 2008.
Web browsers are also vulnerable - of the 374 vulnerabilities documented in Web browsers in 2009, 14 percent of them remain unpatched by the vendors. Firefox had the most vulnerabilities, but Internet Explorer was the most attacked. That difference illustrates cybercriminals' infatuation with market share.
What It Means
This data, as well as other information in the Symantec Internet Security Threat Report, offers a perspective that can change the way users and businesses operate. It is a framework for understanding what's out there and how to navigate it.
For businesses, such navigation includes employing strategies designed to give in-depth defense, including multiple, overlapping and mutually supportive defensive systems to guard against single-point failures in any specific technology or protection methodology. Security provided by solutions such as antivirus software, firewalls and intrusion detection are crucial if an organization wants to protect its assets and its employees.
Besides ensuring personal computers and networks are protected, individual users also need to use good judgment. If websites are untested or seem questionable, users need to be alert and perhaps even stay away from those sites. Another precaution to consider is disabling scripting and active content when casually browsing the Web.
Cybercriminals are getting more sophisticated, but knowing what they are up to allows businesses and individuals to place themselves strategically in the safest position possible. If you implement the right policies within your organization and use the tools that exist, you can help guard against malicious software and keep your organization's infrastructure, and the information within, safe from cybercriminals.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

My first post in who knows how long.
I was working on this small personal project with simple 'concept.' I love birds, and I love looking at royalty and the romantic depiction of them so I put them together. (technically just slapping on crowns on all these birds)
Just tried to design and depict everything as something lovely.
These were all digitally done.
I'll have a couple more pieces I've done for this project so I'll post after I've taken nice pictures of them.

♕ Crown of Gondor
On 1 May T.A. 3019 the rightful heir (Aragorn II Telcontar) came forward to receive the crown. The tradition had been for a new king to receive the crown from the hands of his father (or to obtain it from his father's tomb), but Faramir brought forth the casket with the ancient Crown and gave it to Aragorn. After chanting "Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!" Aragorn surprised the crowd by returning the crown to Faramir. At his request, Frodo Baggins took the crown and bore it to Gandalf, who placed it on King Elessar's head with the blessing,
"Now come the days of the King, and may they be blessed while the thrones of the Valar endure!"
Make me your queen
In ancient Greece, ivy wreaths were usually associated with the worship of Dionysus and were sometimes used at festivals in honor of the god. They were also left in the graves of wealthy individuals.

Green Tech Patents Dominate GM 2009 Filings
GM is touting the results of a report from Ocean Tomo which found that more than half of the 1,300 patents filed by General Motors Co. in 2009 were green innovations.
"Green automotive technologies are the building blocks for creating and improving alternative power plants and increasing fuel efficiency," said James Malackowski, CEO of Ocean Tomo LLC. "GM has higher average quality and newer green technology and patents than the other 14 automakers combined."
Among the patents was the development of a new catalyst material for the purification of exhaust from diesel or other lean-burning engines. Traditional catalysts use platinum – a precious metal subject to wide price variations – but GM says its researchers discovered the material perovskite can provide performance equal to platinum at a much lower cost.
Another new device uses a material called shape memory alloy (SMA), which changes shape when it is heated. GM researchers hope to use the material to build a recovery device that would convert waste heat from a vehicle's engine into electricity to power auxiliary equipment, such as the radio or interior accent lighting.

I'm publishing this on the PLD12-1 model because it's the most likely to be viewed. I'm rating it in the middle because this is information about both models.
On AMAZON, I found two models of Mr. Coffee 12-cup replacement carafes. (I am only looking at the item in black.)
PLD12-1 ($11.46 + super saver shipping) ASIN B000BH96DO (This one.)
PLD12-2 ($20.07 + free shipping, other merchant) ASIN B0006HLJEI Mr. Coffee PLD12-2 MR. COFFEE 12-Cup Replacement Decanter
BED, BATH, & BEYOND The box was only labeled PLD12 (without a suffix). UPC: 0 72179 22692 5 $14.99
WALMART -same box, same UPC as BB&B $11.46
MR. COFFEE WEBSITE - sells only PLD12-2 (or PLD13-2 in white) $15.99 + shipping
I called the toll free number 800-MR-COFFEE (800-672-6333) printed on the box. The sales rep said the PLD12-2 was the newer model, but denied that it was a redesign or that there was any problem with the older one. He also could not (or would not) tell me whether the UPC on the Bed Bath & Beyond box would indicate which model it was.
1. I can't definitively prove the PLD12-1 is a bad design.
2. The manufacturer is pushing the later model PLD12-2 without admitting guilt.

But the 12-cup decanter proved overly fragile. I broke it swabbing the inside with a dish brush.
I'd be glad to pay more for a decanter with thicker, sturdier glass.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
One other criticism: The spout on the decanter is too short, which increases the likelihood of spills.
They simply break, crack, or chip way too easily, usually mine starts on the spout. I accidentally touch something with it, like a coffee cup or have it in the dishwater and touch something else and it breaks. I am very careful with the pot because I understand how delicate it is, but this is ridiculous. The coffee maker itself is fantastic, but their decanter sucks.
I thought about buying the metal one, but with so many bad reviews, I gave up on that.
I keep a spare pot around that came with an older Mr Coffee maker that I had. It's too tall to fit into the present coffee maker, so I take the spring-loaded ball-type thing off the bottom of the brew basket and it fits.
I wish they'd make a stronger carafe, but I guess they can keep making money off of the same product if they break easily.
I have not had any difficulty pouring with it, as have others. Maybe this is only a problem when you make a full pot.

Local TV news salaries grew 2.5 percent last year, rather than continue the decline experienced in 2008, according to the latest RTDNA/Hofstra University Annual Survey.
"With negative inflation in 2009, even flat salaries mean no loss in buying power," said Bob Papper, professor of journalism at Hofstra University and the survey director.
The survey reveals 11 that positions saw a salary increase from the 2008 level, four fell and three held steady. However, the changes to upside and the downside were modest, according to the survey.
Reporters, managing editors and art directors saw the biggest salary increases, all of which rose by about 10 percent. The biggest drop was seen in sports reporting, which showed a 10 percent salary drop.

MADRID Feb 11 Holders of junior debt instruments such as preference shares and subordinated debt in Spain's nationalised bank Banco de Valencia will suffer losses ranging from 85 percent to 90 percent, the country's bank restructuring fund, FROB, said on Monday.
Banco de Valencia was one of the lenders hardest hit by the bursting of a property bubble in Spain in 2008.
The FROB, which had to inject 5.5 billion euros into the bank, said in November it would sell the entity to the country's third biggest lender, Caixabank, for the nominal fee of one euro.
"The important losses are justified in order to ensure a fair share of the restructuring and resolving costs and to reduce the cost of public aid," the FROB said in a statement. (Reporting by Julien Toyer; Editing by Steve Orlofsky)

Seto Receives Ryerson Dean's Award
Art Seto, a professor with Ryerson University's Graphic Communications Management (GCM) program, has been awarded the Dean's Award for 2012. This marks the first time that a GCM faculty member has received the award.
He was chosen from amongst approximately 100 instructors employed within Ryerson's Faculty of Communication & Design, which includes GCM – Canada's only 4-year degree-level program dedicated to graphic arts studies.
Seto was chosen for his transformation of the two semesters of bindery courses, which are now regarded as some of the most-popular courses with GCM students. He was also recognized for his teaching of the estimating course.
"Reading your citation, I noted your passion for your field, your student-centred approach to the curriculum, and a continual striving to expand the professional capabilities of your student, while instilling in them a sense of creativity and, wonderfully, a respect for books," wrote Sheldon Levy, Ryerson's President, in a letter of congratulations addressed to Seto. "When I read that you have turned a fearful estimating course into one that is building careers, it truly completed the picture of a great teacher."

Chattanooga took a 3-1 lead in the fifth inning and held on to win over visiting Pensacola 3-2 last night. It was the finale of a five game set which the Blue Wahoos won 3-2. The Lookouts got the victory despite being outhit 11-3. Josh Fellhauer led the way offensively for the visitors. He did not get the start but entered in the bottom of the first replacing P.J. Phillips who left after making a catch on a foul ball lineout. Fellhauer went 4-4 with a run and an RBI to raise his average to .301. Ryan LaMarre and Brian Peacock added two hits each.
On the mound J.C. Sulburan got the start and control issues limited him to five innings. He allowed three runs on only two hits, but walked eight while striking out seven. He picked up his fifth loss while three relievers combined for three scoreless innings. The Lookouts out-walked the Wahoos 9-1. The fish return home today to start a five game series against Jackson.
Fellhauer has been a consistent hitter for Pensacola all season long and was recently rewarded with a spot on the Southern League All-Star team. He came into the Cincinnati organization from a seventh round pick in 2009 out of Cal St. Fullerton after he hit nearly .400 his junior season with the Titans. He skipped the rookie leagues and started his professional career that year by hitting .280 with seven HR at Dayton. That average dropped his next year at Lynchburg but he brought it back up to .280/.362 OB% when he repeated high-A at Bakersfield. He was also represented the Blaze on last year's California League all-star team.
Defensively Fellhauer has played all three outfield positions. He's shown a strong arm with 30 assists in 364 games. He's running down putouts at a decent rate but it is felt his range is stretched a bit in center. His .975 fielding percentage is on the rise because he's made only four errors in 222 games since the start of the 2011 season, compared to 11 in 185 his first two seasons.
Like many players coming out of Fullerton Fellhauer came into the minors with polished skills. That includes his approach at the plate where he's striking out only once every 6.6 plate appearances on average and thus far this season his BB/K ratio is 22/31. He's not afraid to crowd the plate and his on-base percentage has been aided by getting hit by pitches. In his first two minor league seasons he was plunked thirteen times. The past couple of years and it appears like he's figured out how to do it the "easy way" because his hit batsman rate has come down to normal levels while his walk frequency has increased to almost 11%. He has struggled against southpaws, but that's not unusual for a young left-handed hitter. Thus far in 2011 he's hitting only .118 against them, over only 17 at-bats.
Fellhauer is listed at 5'11'/175# and bats/throws left-handed. His small frame prevents much power to be projected to his game. Now at 24 years old he's putting together a solid season that should gain him attention for another promotion. Coming into the season he was considered a low risk/low ceiling prospect with a solid overall game and no eye-popping strengths. Still, room can always be made for someone who knows how to get on base and he's doing that at a .385 rate so far this season. That and versatility projects him as a utility outfielder if he's not able to hold down a regular job someday in the big leagues.
Other News from the Farm:
Louisville kept rolling with a 6-3 win at Pawtucket. The Bats have now completed two consecutive four games series sweeps. Offensively the bottom of the lineup provided the most punch led by Felix Perez who went 3-4 with a home run. He's now 15-43 (.349) over his past ten games. Miguel Rojas went 3-4 with a couple of RBI and Daryl Jones added two more hits. The Bats tied the game with a two-run fourth inning started by a leadoff homer by Cody Puckett. On the mound Chad Reineke turned in a quality start allowing three runs on five hits over 6+ innings. Jordan Smith threw a scoreless ninth for his tenth save. After getting hit hard to start the season the former Reds reliever has made 9 of 10 appearances this month scoreless ones and dropped his ERA to 4.34
Bakersfield lost a series opener at Visalia 5-4 in ten innings. The Blaze offense was limited to six hits and only one of them went for extra bases. Kurtis Muller did have a double and two RBI. Chad Rogers allowed three runs while navigating around eight hits in five innings. Michael Griffin allowed the game-winner and took his fourth loss.
Billy Hamilton Theft Watch
Hamilton reached first twice last night. He led off the game with a walk and was caught stealing second base. He led off the sixth with a single and stole second. After 71 games he's been successful on 91 of 109 attempts.
Dayton remained winless in the second half when they lost 8-3 to visiting Lake County. Ryan Wright went 3-4 with two RBI and raised his average back up to .300. Juan Perez and Kyle Waldrop added two hits each. Starter Tanner Robles allowed five runs (two earned) in five innings and took his fifth loss.
Billings is now 6-2 on the season after winning 5-2 yesterday at Great Falls. Spencer Dickinson went 3-4 and scored twice while raising his average to .333. Carlos Sanchez was 2-5 with a run and an RBI and is now hitting .357. Ismael Guillon got the start and allowed one run on four hits in four innings while striking out six. Lucas O'Rear relieved him and threw 2+ innings to pick up the win. Matt Wiley threw a scoreless ninth for his third save.
The AZL Reds scored two runs in the ninth at the AZL Mariners but came up short in a 8-6 loss. Avain Rachal went 3-4 with two runs and is now hitting .438 on the season. Dennis Phipps got two more hits and drove in two. Ronald Bueno also had two hits with a run while driving in one in his first start. Starter Pedro Diaz was roughed up for seven runs in three innings and took the loss.
The DSL Reds dropped an 8-3 decision to the visiting DSL Rockies. Kevin Garcia had two doubles and scored twice. Junior Soto also added two hits to raise his average to .306. Junior Torrealba allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits in four innings for the loss.

Senior chief aviation machinist mate Redd Trinidad hails from Las Pinas and is now in charge of communicating with the choppers that have been dropping off humanitarian aid. "Nakakalungkot kasi sa Pilipinas nangyari ito. Pero masaya kami na nabigyan kami ng chance na tumulong... Don't worry guys, we're here to help. We're ready to help," he said. Meanwhile, chief logistics specialist Rex Cabagnot makes sure that all the supplies the people need are brought out of the ship and onto shore. "US Navy man ang sineserbisyohan, pusong Pinoy pa rin," Cabagnot said. Seventy-five percent of the crew in the USNS Charles Drew are Filipino, including these two people in charge of making ice that can turn into drinking water once melted. Even members of the Philippine Army are happy to be working side by side with countrymen, even if the patches of their uniform are no longer the same. "Nakaka-excite din kasi tulong-tulong kaming lahat para din sa kapwa Pinoy," First Lt Gabriel Aranez of the Philippine Army said.

Here you'll find analysis and views on technology, policy and curriculum in elementary and secondary education by two outspoken technology advocates, Elliot Soloway and Cathie Norris. Reinventing Curriculkum is published four times per month; a new post appears each Monday in this location. Below you will also find the archive for Elliot and Cathie's previous blog, Being Mobile.
A transition, quietly but most assuredly, has occurred: Today, in 2016, discussions under the heading "mobile learning" are becoming more about how "all-the-time, everywhere learning" can be supported with "mobile" technology than about mobile devices and apps. That transition has huge pedagogical implications!
OER – open education resources are a boon to K-12. But OER is a start, not an end. As K-12 moves to fully 1-to-1 and blended learning, K-12 needs to go beyond digitized versions of paper-based lessons (and proprietary formats) and develop an open standard for the "deeply digital lesson."
David Thornburg, our guest blogger, looks back and looks forward – and sees Chromebook's DNA in the history of computing and forecasts all sorts of provocative software that this "new" platform will engender.
There are some that use technology to support construction-oriented pedagogies — maker movement, project-based learning — and some that use technology to support instruction-oriented pedagogies — personalized learning. Instruction may well be less costly to deliver — but the loss of the opportunity to develop our children's creativity is inestimable.
The evidence drought is over! A recent methodologically rigorous meta-analysis shows that in 1-to-1 classrooms, there is an increase in student achievement. Yay! Here's the justification for all those 1-to-1 Chromebook roll-outs!
Expanding the conversation around "Reinventing Curriculum": In this week's blog post, Superintendent Dan Lawson explains how his district is creating OER curricula. Dan's post is a thought-provoking response to our earlier blog post about the challenges teachers face in creating OER materials.
On the one hand, the role of the teacher in a 1-to-1 classroom is relatively unchanged from what a teacher has always done. Now for "the but": but on the other hand, 1-to-1 introduces a huge change in what teachers have always done! This week's blog post discusses this critically important and timely dilemma.
The term "blended learning" accurately describes the pedagogical practices that are taking place in 1-to-1 classrooms. This week's screed (aka blog post) describes the following unfortunate fact: the term "blended learning" is being used by some to mean "adaptive, personalized learning." Grrr! Join us in keeping "blended learning" to mean the teacher-friendly, common-sense definition.
OER – Open Education Resources – are being touted by the Department of Education as the key to future of K-12 curriculum. While there is no question that OER are a component of the new digital curriculum, in this blog, we answer the question raised in the blog post's title.
First the educational need, then the technology! Dialogue, not monologue, needs to be a primary learning activity. Supporting dialogue in the classroom, then, is a real educational need. The Collabrify Suite of Apps – free, device-agnostic, and designed expressly for grades 1-8 – meet that real educational need. Read this week's blog post, increase dialogue by collabrifying your classroom.

Original Sin
All My Sons at the Vortex Theatre
By Steven Robert Allen
In 1944, Joe Keller and Steve Deever owned a factory that manufactured parts for military airplanes. One day, Steve discovered that some cylinders they were making had cracks in them, so he called Joe at home to ask him what to do. Joe, who claimed to have the flu, told him to weld over the cracks and ship out the cylinders, saying he'd take responsibility for the flawed parts. As a result, a few weeks later several planes crashed on the same day resulting in the deaths of 21 men.

God is Red: A Native View of Religion (30th Anniversary Edition)
Last year a friend of mine recommended a new book by Vine Deloria Jr. called Evolution, Creationism and Other Modern Myths: A Critical Inquiry. The book presented Deloria's attempt to argue that the scientific theory of evolution is as intellectually flawed as creationism, the Christian fundamentalist argument that the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament is literally true right down to the forbidden fruit and the serpent in the tree. Given that Deloria is considered one of the greatest religious thinkers in the nation, you'd think Evolution, Creationism and Other Modern Myths would be insightful and thought-provoking.

Good food, impeccably cooked and served on very hot plates so that the meal remains enjoyable to the last bite
The location is perhaps a little challenging, so passing trade is limited. That said, for anyone with a knowledge of Bowness, The Burn How is a must visit restaurant. Service is of a high standard, the food itself is beautifully presented - almost a work of art - and the standard of cuisine is high. The wine list is carefully...
Had dinner here as part of the hotel deal. Very impressed with the menu, lots of choice, and delicious food of a very high standard.
Very nice dining room, spacious. Good choice of menu for all courses not cheap but good quality, good choice of wines
The food is really wonderful and well presented. A very good choice with a chef's special which changes daily.
Staying two nights at this hotel. Lovely garden chalet. Friendly staff Excellent food. Looking forward to our 2nd dinner here tonight. Would definitely return to this hotel if coming to Bowness again
Used this Hotel several times now I have posted a review. It's ideal all round. There's plenty of alternative choice in the village for trying this is good.
Amazing Food and a good selection of drinks.
The prices are high but I would defiantly say worth it! and the staff where lovely I could not fault anything they did.
Stopped late in Windermere, on way to Aberdeen. Looked on TA and found this cracking hotel Restaurant. Firstly, the welcome from the very friendly staff was wonderful and we felt at ease straight away. The starters, smoked salmon and prawns with mango were great. Sea Bass and Hake was equally tasteful. More impressively the owner of 40+ years came over...
Me and my partner visited here for a treat. The service was attentive, old style traditional and warming. I loved the fact you were seated in the lounge with a drink to browse at the menu.
The starters were cooked beautifully, and the wine and service was excellent.
I had lamb for my main, and asked for it rare though...

Woodhead signed a two-year contract when he joined the Chargers as an unrestricted free agent from New England in March 2013. His new contract runs through the 2016 season.
"Danny is an integral part of our offense," general manager Tom Telesco said. "His work ethic and on-field production were key elements last year. We look forward to having him be a part of the Chargers organization into the future."
Woodhead is coming off a career year. He had career highs of 76 catches (second on the team), 605 yards and six touchdowns. He ranked first among all running backs in touchdown catches and ranked second in receptions and yards receiving.

Utah Gov. Gary Herbert, in an op-ed published in the Deseret News on Nov. 27, encouraged Utahns to participate in the global day of giving.
"Utahns are generous people, which is why our state leads the nation in charitable giving and in voluntarism. This culture of compassion is part of what makes Utah an enviable place to live. My hope is that the #GivingTuesday movement will encourage Utahns to go to even greater lengths to care for those in need," Herbert wrote.
To participate, donors should select a charity, nonprofit organization or educational foundation or other organization, make a contribution and tweet about it using the #GivingTuesday hashtag.
The goal of the movement, according to charitynavigator.org, is to encourage "retailers, charities, online organizations, community centers, individuals and families to come together with one common purpose — to help others and incentivize ways to give more, give smarter and celebrate the great American spirit of generosity through charitable contributions and volunteerism."
Herbert urged Utahns to forgo going to the movies or eating out, and "use that money to help change someone's life for the better."
Trujillo, with the assistance of YWCA Utah, said she's optimistic about her future.
"I'm so glad we're going to move into a new place," she said.
On Monday, Trujillo purchased a used stroller that will better suit her growing family.
"I gave mine to another family here," she said.
In ways big and small, it's important to give back.
"Every little bit can help," Trujillo said.

Michael Dell Investing In PCs And Tablets 0 commentsApr 7, 2013 6:18 PM | about stocks: DELL
Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) PC and tablet trends point to a big future with growth opportunities for investors. CEO, Michael Dell showed interest this month promising to invest in Dell's PC and tablet business. Michael Dell noted in a memo filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission April 1, We have plans to significantly increase investment cost of managing IT for more than 100,000 customers worldwide in our PC and tablet business to enhance our ability to compete. While Dell's strategy in the PC business has been to maximize gross margins, following the transaction, we expect to focus instead on maximizing revenue and cash flow growth with the goal of improving long-term sales and competitive positioning. According to the new memo, Michael Dell would "invest for growth" if the Dell deal ($24.4 billion) goes private. PCs account for 70 per cent of Dell's revenues. The entire PC market shrunk by 13 million boxes in 2012 as consumers adopted smartphones and tablets. The company's value is at $22 billion...

"The Survivor - Good Story"
An action packed thriller. At times you are on the edge of your seat with the suspense; at other times parts of the book are a bit repetitive.
Kept on getting more and more dismal as the book wore on.
The narrator was a perfect match for this dreary book.
"Brilliant Premise"
This is a tightly written thriller. What makes this book even better is that the protagonist has ALS. A reasonable and thoughtful protagonist makes entirely different choices when he knows he is dying. Brilliant!
He always delivers.
"Overindulgent Melodrama Meets Lame Crime Action"
The author has the characters making silly decisions only to further the plot of the story. The main character broods too much and overindulges in past regrets. By the end of the story, I was actually relieved that he accomplished what he had set out to do in the opening of the story.
Probably not.
The reader read the main character's lines like he was spastic Forrest Gump. Geez, just because someone is depressed does not mean the person will sound like a baby robot trying to learn the alphabet.
The villains were actually awful, brutal, scary, people that I'd hope to never cross. So whenever they appeared in the story, I was afraid for the protagonist and his family.
"Sad and Pathetic"
Scott Brick is very good he gets 5 stars.
As for the story my god I was pissed off throughout the story, like at the end he couldn't break the sliding glass door that,s sad.
The story overall is a very good story except the gloomy cloud of death from beginning to end.
I drive an hour to my office as an attorney. I have done this for 14 years. I would not be able to do this without my books on tape.
Someone who doesn't mind violence and bloodthirsty scenes. I missed the threats to the child in the description and wouldn't have chosen this if I had read this more closely.
The description sounded like an interesting story, but it built up very slowly and then just turned bloody and scary without much plot.
Wow, I did not know anyone could read soooooo sloooooowwwwwly.
Disappointment Could not wait until it ended.
I Love to listen to books more often than reading. Audible gets me through the day and night more especially when I'm working !
I would have given 5 stars but the unruly teenagers ruined it but the overall story was decent and supensive my credit was not wasted. From ALS to all the Rama emerged in this story I was surprised by all the twist especially with how Nate survived through most of it.
I'll be honest, I went into this novel thinking it was a cheap thriller, and in many ways it was... But the details that went into describing the effects of PTSD and ALS really brought this story to another level. This novel had a *bit* less action than I was expecting but the writing was strong enough that it kept me thoroughly entertained from end to end.
"Loved it!"
First time listening to a story by this author and now ready to listen to more.
"Solid story"
As a former soldier I noticed the minor mistakes made by the author concerning some of the weapons.
Other than that I can find no fault with this story. The main bad guy was quite menacing. The particular method of torture/execution was vivid and definitely had my imagination in overdrive.
The ALS was portrayed quite accurately.
The various shoot outs were pretty accurate. Chaotic and deadly with plenty of bad marksmanship.

I must say that I have been going to this dentist for about a year now. I have had some very horrible experiences with dentist in the past, they either want to rob me or make me wait for a long time. At Fossil Creek Dental, I have had neither of these experiences. The staff is very friendly and they make me feel like family. They take the time to explain procedures before I have them done, they also make sure to discuss all financial obligations before the work is done. I am given the opportunity to ask questions without feeling as if I am wasting the doctors time (as I have expereinced in the past). I would highly recommend this dental office to any of my family or friends. In fact, i have transferred all of my children's records to this practice. We are VERY satisfied with Dr. Almquist and staff. ;)

Fearful of the Dentist NO MORE! I hate to admit this as a guy, but I have had such terrible situations at my last dentist that I was actually afraid…
I would tell all my friends and family about this place. Getting my teeth cleaned is never high on my priority list, as I dread this task. However, this office has made me feel completely as ease. In fact, I look forward to going every 6 months because my visits are more like a friend gathering. We laugh, talk and before I know it, my dental work is complete. I have had to have 2 fillings done by Dr. Almquist, and not only did I NOT feel the shot, he talked me through every step of the way so I felt like part of the team instead of just another number. The staff is very friendly and comforting, they made sure I was at ease as well as completely informed of my financial co-pay. I would give this office 2 thumbs up!! NO wait time, I was completely in charge, and NO PAIN! LOVE THIS PLACE!! :)))))
Fearful of the Dentist NO MORE! I hate to admit this as a guy, but I have had such terrible situations at my last dentist that I was actually afraid to come to another dentist. After much persuasion from my wife, I finally decided to call Fossil Creek Dental. She kept raving at the friendliness of the staff and caring personality from the dentist. As much as I hate to say, SHE WAS RIGHT! Everyone is very nice and Dr. Almquist is a great doc. He is very down to earth and doesn t try to talk over you as some doctors tend to do. I was made to feel as I was a long time friend to each person I met in the office. My visit was painless and I left there with the such a great feeling, I will definitely be back. Thank you Fossil Creek Dental for helping concur my fear of dentist!
