I think herdProtect should be listed under "Online Scanners". Because, it clearly states in its website that "herdProtect is a second line of defense malware scanning platform powered by 68 anti-malware engines in the cloud". So, please analyze and decide if it would be appropriate to do so. Thanks...
I think Multi-AV Scanners fit better just like for HitmanPro.
by mkg_just4u on 23. December 2013 - 23:39 (113148)
I did not mean to remove it from Multi-AV Scanners. I just suggested to keep it also in Online Scanners. It qualifies for both list. More technically, it should be kept under new heading something like "Multi-AV Online Scanner" or "Online Multi-AV Scanner", etc. as you wish...thanks
You'll have to ask ako about duplicate entries, but we've never done those and simply chose whichever fits best. I think it's to save space, work, and confusion (especially when modifying).
As for the new heading, I don't think there are enough products and need to justify that. It's not as if herdProtect doesn't fit anywhere on the list.

It almost seems that this page is Windows only security list. There are also large number of users of other operating systems like Mac OS, Linux, Android, iOS, etc. These operating systems also require security. So, I would like to suggest to create security list index for these operating systems as well. I already know that there are several links in your website that focus on the mentioned operating systems as well. But, I am suggesting to keep all of them under one page and regularly updated. I mean, this page can be made an all in one security list page. In this way, all device and OS users would be able to get right security guideline under one page. And, on the other hand, the number of readers of this page may also increase.
However, it depends on you, whether you consider my opinion or not. But, being a fan of this site, it is my responsibility to suggest for its improvement. Please, take a while to decide. Rest is in your hand.....Thanks !!!
Good idea, but this requires specialists in those areas. I myself know something on Windows, but nothing on Mac OS, iOS, Linux or Anroid.
How about you?
by mkg_just4u on 15. December 2013 - 23:32 (112966)
I too have not so much knowledge in those areas. It was just my suggestion. But, some one expert in that field can do that. At least for now, contents from the following pages can be copied-
And, other resources from the web may also be helpful.
It can be maintained and updated with help of the concerned admins of those pages. And, the programs should be tabulated with separate columns for different OS in each index of this page. I hope it could be implemented very soon. Thanks !!!

I think "F-Secure Key" (http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/key) should be added in "Privacy" page index under "Password management", please have a look over it, thanks...

Please add "Panda USB Vaccine" in "USB protection" under "System hardening-HIPS" AND "Bitdefender USB Immunizer" in "USB-autorun disabling" under "System hardening".....thanks
To my eye they are in right places. Can you explain?
by mkg_just4u on 22. November 2013 - 23:44 (112467)
Please, have a look over "Ubuntu Privacy Remix" (www.privacy-cd.org) and "Fedora Security Lab" (spins.fedoraproject.org/security). Give them suitable places in this page....thanks

Manuel Gonzales-Luna, 24, was arrested and booked in the San Miguel County Jail for possession of cocaine, obstructing a peace officer, third-degree assault, resisting arrest, menacing and child abuse, without injury, after two Telluride Marshal's deputies responded to Shandoka on a report of a domestic disturbance just after midnight.
After listening outside the apartment door for several moments, the two responding deputies knocked on the door and was opened by "a very intoxicated" Gonzales-Luna, according to the police report. A female and a 9-year-old child were in the apartment with Gonzales-Luna at the time. The woman had to restrain Gonzales-Luna, as deputies repeatedly tried to get him to speak with them, outside the apartment.
Outside, the police asked Gonzales-Luna if there had been any arguments earlier in the evening. Acting "very upset and very aggressive" toward the deputies, Gonzales-Luna punched a pillar in the stairwell, and then punched a handrail, whereupon the deputies explained to him that if they were called back to the apartment, they would have to make an arrest.
With Gonzales-Luna back in the apartment, the deputies knocked on a neighbor's door to further investigate the disturbance. When Gonzales-Luna then opened up his door again, beocming "confrontational" once again, the deputies arrested Gonzales-Luna, who began punching and kicking them, as they restrained him.
Gonzales-Luna also threatened to kill both of the deputies' daughters.
While one deputy unlocked the patrol car, Gonzales-Luna threw his head back and struck him in the nose. After Gonzales-Luna was restrained, deputies found 23 small baggies, each with one gram of cocaine, in his pockets, along with $2,698.
Gonzalez-Luna is being held at the San Miguel County Jail on $60,000 bond. According to the San Miguel County Sherriff's Office, Gonzales-Luna is an undocumented immigrant and U.S. Customs and Immigration officials will take custody of when charges have been filed. No trial date has been set.

I am looking for fun engaging teaching and learning ideas/games for my 14, 15 & 4 year old girls while on a 17 hour train ride from NY to GA Thanksgiving week. Would love to make it interactive and based on our geography/location as we ride through the states and cities on the Amtrak Cresent http://bit.ly/qYdmUI.
Kids will have their iPads, iPhones and Android Devices.
Would love to use Mapping, GPS, Smithsonian Objects, Wonderopolis Wonders, RWT and some illumination resources that are relative to the trip as we ride through PA, DE, WDC, MD, VA, NC, SC & GA. .
Keep the ideas coming.
The kids will be required to do a trip report
This sounds like a great family experience! I might first start by sharing some information about trains and the railroad. ReadWriteThink has a calendar entry about the completion of the U.S. Transcontinental Railroad (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/calendar-activities/1870-transcontinental-railroad-completed-20277.html).
Your family could compare their travel experiences with those of Jack Kerouac. You can learn more about his roadtrip using the RWT calendar entry (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/calendar-activities/road-author-jack-kerouac-20287.html) and then use the Venn Diagram Tool to compare (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/student-interactives/venn-diagram-circles-30006.html).
It's important for children and teens to know how to use maps. This activity (http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/activities-projects/where-learning-read-maps-30649.html) from RWT will help kids develop these skills by having them analyze the features found on a state map; locate—and estimate distances between—familiar landmarks on a local map; and research statistical information using an online atlas.
If the girls are going to do some writing, I would introduce them to the genre of travel writing using the RWT resource Beyond "What I Did on Vacation": Exploring the Genre of Travel Writing (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/beyond-what-vacation-exploring-1086.html).
If the girls know some of the things they might see and experience, work together to create a bingo board that can be played on the train, while walking around town, going to the zoo or a museum. Think of words related to your activity and make a game board to go with it (http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/activities-projects/play-bingo-30282.html). This resource is also available in Spanish.
On your return trip, invite them to create a travel brochure to share information about the things and places they saw with others. They can draw pictures, use photographs, add maps, and write details about what they see or learn. In the end, they will be creating their own souvenirs! http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/activities-projects/design-travel-brochure-30297.html
Most of all, have a great time and enjoy being with your family!

Happy and safe travels!
Perhaps your 14 and 15-year-olds could read the picture book Jingle the Brass with your four-year-old, then explore activities from All Aboard the Train, a resource set from our OurStory program, which helps children and their caregivers explore history together through children's literature. These are designed for K-4 students and their caregivers, but I imagine they'd work for your girls! They can explore train stations and learn about the jobs in the train station and how trains operate in Trains Near You; watch a video of the John Bull steam locomotive, which first ran in 1831, in action when it was run in 1981; or, sing train songs with Sing, Play, Cook Railroad Style.
They can also learn about how people traveled in 1890, 1940, 1959, and explore transportation in 2000 with the Drive Through Time interactive. It also looks like the Crescent runs through Salisbury, NC. Your older girls may be interested in reading what it was like to travel through Salisbury in the 1920s. That particular section of our online exhibition on transportation looks at segregated travel, so it's one you may want to read and discuss with them.
Safe travels,
National Museum of American History
OK! So my plans this weekend are to pull all of this together into a neat learning package. I will either create the most exciting family vacation or have to drive back to NY by myself. Any ideas from National Geographic Education?
We would all love to hear how it worked out for you. Was it a neat learning package? Did it keep the kids happy? Parents everywhere are wondering how your trip turned out.
We had a blast. I fought the good fight. The kids had their own agenda. I look forward to sharing some of the highlights. Thaks to the folks from RWT and NMAH for cool ideas that we were able to pull pieces and tie to live experiences. Can i upload pictures?
We would love to have you share photos of your trip and family. You can upload photos as attachments to your next post to this discussion as long as they total 50 MB or less. Or you can embed a photo using the Insert Image icon as you post. Same limits to upload remain. Looking forward to your post.
I'm glad to hear you were able to use some of the resources! I'm looking forward to seeing what you all did!

Countdown with Keith Olbermann: 2.0
Posted Feb 16, 2011 @ 10:29 AM
Didn't know when/whether to stop using the Countdown forum, so I thought I'd go ahead and start this forum for news and speculation on what Keith's new show will be like.
Can Keith use 'Countdown With Keith Olbermann' or is that copyrighted by MSNBC?
What do you think Keith's new show: a) should be called; and b) will be called?

I wouldn't be surprised if they make a podcast available on iTunes; I used to subscribe to the podcast for both Keith and Rachel which are/were available in both video and audio only format.
I wouldn't either, given that Keith's title will be "Chief Media Officer" - lots of media to use &/or experiment with - podcast, Twitter, etc.
I really wish Keith was still on the air. I find myself constantly wondering how he would've covered Egypt and, now, Wisconsin.
Ditto. Not sure about Egypt, but I definitely think Keith would've ripped Scott Walker & the Republican-controlled State Senate & State Assembly new ones several times over by now. (Telling Dems to show up at 5:00 pm to vote, but when the Dems arrive at 4:57 pm, voting is already underway...)

KEITH Olbermann on MSNBC shedding him: "I don't really know why." Such reluctance disappeared when discussing his new job. "I start beginning June. Al Gore's Current TV, station 103 in Manhattan. My producers and staff suggest I even veer a little to the middle politically. No cut in salary. In fact, I'm in charge. I'm the news director. So I'll stay on one hour longer, but I'm in charge of that, too. If we're long, then I'm on a little more and the next show's a little short."
A ridiculous question. So, Keith, hon, what if you run dry?
"Oh, please. How could I? Bob and Ray from the old days are to blame. In 1974, they suggested I try political humor."

So far Keith's posted a Worst Persons of the Day vid, and a Special Comment about Libya.
I have to say, I was happy enough just reading Keith's posts, hearing the words in his voice in my head. But seeing the videos really reminded me how much I miss seeing him every night. That new show can't come soon enough.

It does! But looking for confirmation of this announcement (still unfound), I saw he spoke there in 2007. In the belly of the beast! (Rumsfeld was there two weeks ago.)
seems like that would be a pretty unlikely place for KO.

I absolutely hope he does. For all of Bill O'Reilly's bluster and ham-handedness, he will occasionally have people on his show that he completely disagrees with. I can't ever remember Keith having a Republican on Countdown. While I enjoyed Keith's wit and smarm, almost every single guest basically said, "Me, too" to everything Keith was saying.
My producers and staff suggest I even veer a little to the middle politically.
Keith is obviously a liberal, and need make no apology for that. A little Point-Counterpoint would be nice, however.
Posted Apr 3, 2011 @ 4:10 PM
My producers and staff suggest I even veer a little to the middle politically.
You know, in the original context of this comment as I remember reading it online, I got the distinct impression that he meant something different, that his producers and staff were accusing him (to use an exaggerated verb) of being too centrist.
Although I understand the criticism in the abstract, I'm relieved that he avoided the left-vs.-right shouting, in part because that seems to dominate every other show. If no one else did it, then that's another matter, but there are so many places to go for that sort of thing (O'Reilly, Hannity, Matthews, Schultz, O'Donn...zzzzzzz) - and on the weekend shows, it's often a "round-table" of two republican politicians, a conservative journalist, and maybe a blue dog. Note how many times Rachel has done Meet the Press (I think it's three times), when Michelle Malkin has been on at least once. Didn't even Meghan McCain do one?!
KO would also have people on who disagreed with him, but it was within the leftward spectrum (his debates with Rachel and with Howard Dean come to mind, and one evening when he moderated a mini-debate between Cenk Ugyur and Karen Finney). You got a good exploration of nuance and policy in those, and I'd like more of it. I actually learned more from those discussions than the usual right/left talking points shouting matches, or even some of Rachel's showdowns with the likes of Art Robinson and Rand Paul, although watching them spin around and around was kind of fun.
I can't ever remember Keith having a Republican on Countdown.
There have been a few - I remember Charlie Crist, Lawrence Wilkerson, David Frum, John Dean of course (though I doubt he votes R any more), and some state-level reps re: the Arizona transplant case.
will he/the show be moving to San Francisco, or will they be staying put in New York?
I think they're building a studio in NYC, which is part of the "late spring" hedge - if you've ever had a house built or remodeled, you know how reliable those finishing dates can be!
ETA: Boy, you can always tell when I'm procrastinating at the computer...

And, IMO, they would be right. My problem with KO (and Maddow) is that they are just Democratic Party shills. There isn't any truly leftist commentators on any television network. What passes for "left" in this country is tepid, at best. I'm forced to watch Free Speech Satellite and Democracy Now! to see real leftist commentary. You can get fairly radical right-wing commentary on network TV, but nothing approaching radical left.
You know, in the original context of this comment as I remember reading it online, I got the distinct impression that he meant something different, that his producers and staff were accusing him (to use an exaggerated verb) of being too centrist.
The Democrat-vs-Republican talking points have been done to death, so I completely agree. It's boring, as far as I'm concerned.
Although I understand the criticism in the abstract, I'm relieved that he avoided the left-vs.-right shouting, in part because that seems to dominate every other show.
Posted Apr 6, 2011 @ 1:44 PM
Oh please.
The exact same reason CNN, ESPN, and Fox Sports all fired him, because he not only burned all the bridges, he nuked them and the surrounding countryside.
The only job he's ever really left on even reasonably decent terms was the first go round at MSNBC because he got sick and burned out over being froced to do nothing but MonicaGate every night.

Both arts originated centuries ago with the Zenu tribe, and the bright styles you see here are woven by some of their direct descendants. Inner diameter: 2 1/4".Bamboo.Import. Rated 4 out of 5 by 3 reviewers. Rated 5 out of 5 by guacamaya Love this bracelets! They are very light and comfortable to wear, go with everything and I like to make multicolor clusters in both sizes that I may use with everything I wear. Their price allows me to do that. I have being getting them since last year and I cant wait for the new colors every time.

October 9, 2013 Rated 3 out of 5 by iwearpants not good if you have small wrists don't get me wrong, the quality of this bracelet is just fine. it is also very pretty. however, my wrists are small, and this bracelet doesn't really wrap around my wrist like i thought it would. i am worried that it is going to fall off my wrist because of how loose it is. i wouldn't buy it if you have small wrists.

Yasser Arafat Body To Be Exhumed
The Associated Press is reporting that Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has granted permission for the remains of his predecessor, Yasser Arafat, to be exhumed, according to an aide. This comes only days after Switzerland's Institute of Radiation Physics reported that they had found elevated traces of a radioactive substance on the belongings of Arafat.
The Institute's findings have reignited the suspicions that poisoning led to Arafat's death on Nov. 11, 2004 in a French military hospital.
Abbas has granted permission to exhume Arafat's body after consulting with Arafat's family, as well as religious leaders.

If you're still catching on to the online journal phenomenon, just type "Web log" or "blog" into your favorite search engine and see what pops up. Or visit www.blogger.com, where you too can sign on and start Web publishing your thoughts before the afternoon is out. Odds are it won't take more than a few clicks to find commentary on topics so arcane or personal that you'll be rolling your eyes and wondering what all the blogging fuss is about.
Could these online journals have any meaning for meetings?
Before you log off, I've got another Web search for you. Type in "CTIA blog" and search for Web logs that reference this issue's cover story subject, the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association. The association had its big Wireless 2002 conference in March, and a quick search yields some remarkable results.
Wireless industry pundit Alan Reiter, president of Wireless Internet and Mobile Computing, has a couple of blog sites. In a January entry from Alan A. Reiter's Radio Weblog, you'll find him encouraging readers to lobby CTIA for Wi-Fi service: "If you're attending the CTIA show and think Wi-Fi would be useful, perhaps you'd want to contact the association and tell them … ." (Indeed, CTIA offered attendees wireless access. Read our story on page 26.)
You'll find a blog from the CTIA show floor from San Jose Mercury News columnist Dan Gillmor: "I opened my Macintosh Titanium Powerbook G4 notebook, turned on the Airport software and immediately saw the wireless network that Boingo has set up … ." And there's commentary about CTIA in Glen Feishman's Weblog, 802.11b Networking News (http://80211b.weblogger.com). And that's just a quick search.
Blogging is a grassroots phenom — the ultimate peer-to-peer conversation. And technology shows are definitely a topic of conversation in blog land. Event marketers may hate it because they can't control it and can't measure it. But there's no denying it. Blogging makes your universe of potential reviewers a whole lot bigger — and imagine blogging crossed with a Wi-Fi-enabled audience. When anyone can post comments to a Web log while a speaker is still on stage, then receive e-mail about the postings, meetings could get a whole lot more interesting. Word is that's exactly what happened at the recent wireless-enabled PC Forum — I read about it on a blog (http://radio.weblogs.com/0001195/categories/wirelessBlogging).

Indian >Mayuri Indian Cuisine
20611 Bothell Everett Hwy Ste H, Bothell, WA | Directions 9801247.811687 -122.207079
Yesterday, 10-30-13, Mayuri is the only place I ate my only meal of the day. Guess what! I was rudely woken up by violent diarrhea and my stomach feels like I need to be around a bathroom. Prior to eating I had pointed out to the server that the flowed on the table was rotted and would like one that is not. I am wondering if that was an offence punishable in this way? In the past I had complained about a 10 minute wait to pay and leave. Tough place! If you go there, don't complain!
south indian cuisine too! – So most indian places in the U.S. have the same food and it all tastes the same. This place has a more diverse menu and features some items you can get in South India and mix it up a little bit. I will return soon!!
Clean Polite Yummy! – Just returned from eating here. We got in just as the Microsoft lunch rush was leaving. Staff was quick and clean and very nice. The buffet was delicious. Pretty decent selection. Three salads, Two rices, one appetizer, plain naan, two vegetarian dishes (the paneer was awesome), at least 4 meat dishes and two tasty desserts. Also a selection of sauces and chutneys. The butter chicken and tomato rice were empty when we arrived but everything refilled again fairly quickly. I liked that the hotel pans that the food sat in were small. Even though some dishes ran out quickly, they had to be filled with fresh food again rather than a lot of food sitting out for a long time. Buffet price was a dollar less than others I Googled in the area. I'd definitely eat here again.
Used to like the food until a rodent ran through – I used to eat at Mayuri with friends all the time. The food was good. However one time I was having dinner and a huge r a t ran through the dining area and under my table. One customer ran out of the restaurant screaming and I wasn't too upset really until the waiter said "Don't worry we'll catch it. We have a guy that's good at it".... so that happens often enough that they have a person to catch the r a t s? No thanks I'll be eating elsewhere from now on. I wish this didn't really happen because I loved the place before that.
The place to go when craving Indian food – This is probably my favourite Indian restaurant, so far. The prices are reasonable, though it's not cheap, and the service is good. I don't think i've ever emptied my water glass there. My favourite dish is their rich and creamy Lamb Koorma, seconded by any of the Saag dishes. Usually, my dining partner and i will share one entrée à la carte and then another entrée as a thali dinner, which includes Dal and dessert, among other things. ...And of course, their Naan is fabulous.
Great food, great service. The first two reveiwes are liars. There is no computer at the front desk, not in 10 years. – First I have been to Indian restaurants all over the west coast. The only better restaurant I found was the Red Barn, and they are now out of business.
The reviewers pointing you to other restaurants, I think work at the other restaurants.
The lunch buffet is the best on the East-side, and the place is packed at lunch and worht the 10-15 minute wait.
Sundays brunch has Goat, and it is great!!!
If anything they are to carefull on the spice for those of us with pale skin, but they are very-very frendly and always great service and taste.
Better places than here for Indian food – Been here three times. Only once was the service good, with the waiter seating us promptly and returning to check on us periodically. The second time it was average. But the last time was horrible. Went in at lunch time. Only 3 or 4 tables were occupied. Waited at the counter to be seated while several waiters walked by without a word. The counter guy sat on his computer without even looking. After 10 minutes of waiting, I left to another restaurant. Won't be going back. On the positive, the decoration is nice, and the food is above average. Not cheap but not expensive as Indian restaurants go.
BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE – I went in for the first time today with a group of 5 and was given disappointing service. Called ahead for reservations driving 20 miles away to bring visting family. On our arrival we went inside...shocked that the place was small! We were abruptly pointed to a table and were not courteosly seated by a host. We were crammed into a small booth table and bascially crammed into the wall no room to move. Then we were told there was buffet only and couldnt order from the menu. What angered me was that we were not informed when we called. With kids in the group a buffet was out of the question. Plus the owner just said "Buffet only!" No apology or sympathy. Very unprofessional. We had family from out of town. How embarassing. Overall, didnt have a good experience.
Best South Indian in town – By far the best South Indian food in town. I keep going back for more, mostly for dinner. If you are new to South Indian food, try the South Indian Thali.
Can't get enough of Mayuri – If you want excellent service and delicious food you should go to Mayuri. They have the best 'chicken tikka masala' that I have ever had from any other Indian restaurant. I am literally addicted to it. I've compared it to other places I've been to and they can't hold a candle to Mayuri's. I have been going there for 2 years and always get it and never get tired of it. The waiter knows what I want before I even sit down. The chicken is so flavorful and the sauce is rich and creamy. Their garlic naan has the perfect amount of garlic on it, it's enough to give it flavor but not overbearing. It completes the meal. The service is awesome! The workers are always so friendly to me everytime I go. If you want great service and great food then Mayuri is the place you want to visit!

As you step into the lobby, there's a small cocktail lounge to your right. To your left is another small sitting room, complete with a fireplace and plush couches and chairs.
After check-in, you have your choice of a glass elevator or a beautiful spiral staircase to take you up to your room. There are only five floors, so the staircase isn't too bad of a idea.
Our room was just as plush as the sitting room downstairs. As you walk into the foyer, there's a closet with a safe and a separate room with only a commode. Step through the foyer door into your room, with all four walls covered in French fabric and a slight padding, making it nice and soundproof. A small window overlooks a private courtyard. The room has a small fridge/honor bar.
The bathroom is entirely marble and comes equipped with a hair dryer, robes, house shoes, and your regular amenities, like shampoo and lotion. The shower/tub is all marble, with the Victoria Palace logo etched into it--a very nice touch. The tub also comes equipped with a full-size shower curtain, a rarity in Europe.
For an added touch, included with the turn-down service is the next day's weather forecast placed under your chocolate.
Breakfast was included in our rate and was pretty nice. It was buffet style, with scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, fresh French yogurt, baguettes, cheeses, deli meats, juices, and cereals, all with a bottomless cup of coffee. It was more than enough to keep you going till lunchtime.
Just outside the front door and to your left is a small local grocery store, perfect for stocking up on bottled water and perhaps some cheese or fruit for a late-night snack. They also sell beer and wine if you want to save a little cash on a night cap.
A short walk from there and there's a great little bakery to get some sweets. There are also some great local restaurants around the hotel. Anyone at the front desk can give a wonderful recommendation and directions.
I simply LOVE this hotel and stay there often. It's small and quiet and only a 5-minute walk to the nearest Metro station, either Montparnasse or Saint-Placide.

Zend Technologies Launches Unlimited Subscription Model for Businesses Using PHP; Signs Major Enterprise Customers in U.S., EuropeZend Agreements Disrupt Traditional Enterprise Licensing Models with 'All-you-can-eat' Subscriptions to PHP Solutions Deployed On-Premise or in the Cloud, Starting at $50,000
CUPERTINO, Calif. – July 29, 2010 – Zend Technologies, the PHP Company, today announced a simpler and safer way for IT organizations to acquire and adopt its solutions for development and management of business-critical PHP applications on-premise or in the Cloud. The Zend Unlimited Subscription offer addresses growing market demand for more flexible, reliable and cost-effective application infrastructures, and provides an unlimited number of subscriptions to Zend's software and technical support services at a low annual subscription starting at $50,000.
With PHP established as the platform of choice for Web applications, IT organizations have come to expect the highest level of productivity, reliability and performance while retaining the cost benefits of PHP. The increased adoption of cloud computing is another factor driving IT managers to prefer licensing models that let them control budgets while reaping the benefits of the Cloud. With the Zend Unlimited Subscription, IT organizations can start additional server instances on demand without worrying about obtaining additional licenses.
Available under the Zend Unlimited Subscription are Zend's software solutions for developing, running and managing PHP Web applications:
• Zend Server – enterprise-grade PHP Web application server
• Zend Server Cluster Manager – management of multi-server PHP application deployments
• Zend Studio – the leading PHP integrated development environment (IDE) for professional developers
• Technical support – up to 24x7x365 phone support, PHP stack updates, and security hot fixes
The offer follows Zend's record sales in 2009, a large percentage of which were attributed to new enterprise customers.
Among the first customers to take advantage of the Zend Unlimited Subscription offer is UBM TechWeb, a leading global business media company that owns brands such as InformationWeek, Dr. Dobbs and Web 2.0. "The Zend Unlimited Subscription has made it significantly easier to purchase the software and support we need for our entire IT organization," said David Michael, CIO. "By moving all of our PHP-based websites to Zend Server, we can monitor for errors and slowdowns and then use code tracing to quickly hone in on the root cause and apply a fix."
UBM TechWeb, a division of global media company UBM, is migrating from a Java-based proprietary platform to PHP and Zend's solutions for its more than 60 websites frequented by millions of viewers. Their developers are using Zend Framework to build or re-architect sites, Zend Studio as their PHP IDE, and Zend Server as the Web application server.
Major European organizations are also embracing the new licensing model, including Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat Group Automobiles. "Zend gives us the most flexible, capable and cost-effective PHP platform for application deployment and management," said Daniele Paolo Vigna of Dealer Network and Internet Services at Fiat Group Automobiles. "The Zend Unlimited Subscription allows us to standardize and streamline our development and production environment using a common set of tools and resources across the team."

Mideast Miracle
Amid the region's political and religious turmoil, Jordan has set up a cluster of national parks that conserve an astonishing array of biodiversity.
When the workshop first formed, it employed 15 women, aged 20 to 32. They work in a spanking-clean room wearing masks and eye protection along with traditional headscarves. "Before, women didn't go anywhere without permission," says Bassam Atiyeh, who pauses from her work to talk. "Now women are free to go out and work." They produce silver pieces based on Dana's diverse animal and plants, which appeal to outsiders and underscore the connection between the village and the reserve. And by growing fruits organically, turning them into jams and jellies, and marketing them in Wild Jordan's store in Amman and elsewhere, farmers again have found it worth their while to work their plots. Though the quantity is small, the shift has given new life to Dana's ancient ways.
These modest businesses made it easier for the Bedouin to accept the ban on hunting within the park, a move that at first outraged them. "It wasn't a hobby, it was a necessity," explains Khawaldeh. But now he says, "people have jobs and an income, so the necessity is no longer there."
The results are encouraging. In 1995 only two Nubian ibex, an endangered species, were found in the entire park. In the latest 2006 survey 168 individuals were counted, and Dana has become a critical refuge in southern Jordan for the animals, thanks to enforced hunting restrictions and increased vegetative cover following the grazing agreement. The Arabian oryx, with its luminescent white coat, was nearly extinct in the1960s. They have now been reintroduced to the Shaumari Reserve, while hopes remain high that the Arabian leopard, which had gone extinct in Jordan, will also be reintroduced. A caracal--the fiercest and fastest of small cats--was spotted prowling around Dana recently. And porcupines, badgers, hyenas, and the partridgelike chukar also are coming back.
Khawaldeh, meanwhile, says his people are committed to conservation. Though his cooperative is full of plans to increase tourist beds and to build a ceramics workshop, he is quick to add that he wants only "sustainable" tourism. "We don't want to put pressure in this fragile environment." It's surprisingly modern phrasing for a rural Bedouin. As we part, he gives me his email address and sends me out into the mist with Achmed, an elderly but spry villager who shows me around the orchards. Rebuilt retaining walls and new irrigation system feed the lush pear, pistachio, and almond trees. But with 10 children and no school in Dana, Achmed has moved his family to the new town on the road; he commutes each day to his orchards. Amid the low clouds and gusty winds, there are no other signs of life. Then, suddenly, a chukar flies up with a cry and a fluttering of wings, vanishing in the mist.

On New Year's Eve, many of us will be putting on our party faces. Eugene "Lucky" Lacaillade will be playing his 360th round of golf this year.
On New Year's Day, many of us will be swallowing aspirin and watching football. Lacaillade will be doing fairways and greens again. There are 365 days in a year, and little interrupts his daily march to the first tee.
"I only miss for bad weather or fishing," he says.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Lacaillade's golfing is more a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" than a Cal Ripken milestone. He is not a publicity hound, looking for attention. He didn't seek us. We found him.
He is 65, lives in Sun City, an Inland Empire area that has now mostly been taken over by the city of Menifee. He is no hopeless duffer. He plays to a 10.2 handicap and got it down to 5.6 a few years ago. He still plays from the blue tees, can still drive it 250 to 260 yards off the tee and can read the greens better than ever now after recent Lasik eye surgery.
He smokes about a pack and a half of cigarettes a day but says he quit drinking years ago.
Frequent golfer: In the Dec. 22 Sports section, a photo caption accompanying a column about amateur golfer Eugene "Lucky" Lacaillade erred in stating that he aims to play 365 rounds this year. As the column noted, he expects to play 360 rounds by year-end. —
"I guess I traded one addiction for another," he says.
He likes to play alone because he can sometimes get around the 18 holes in less than two hours. But he also has a set of golfing friends at the strangely named California Golf & Art Country Club in Sun City, where he is a member and lives in a condo off the fourth hole with a cat he named Doofus in an attempt to define its personality.
He says he plays mostly at California Golf & Art, formerly known as Cherry Hills, a regulation-size track that will never be mistaken for Riviera or Augusta National. Maybe not even for Azusa Greens.
But he branches out frequently to area courses more challenging and more blessed with fairway grass, such as Hidden Valley, Rancho California, Goose Creek and the Legends and Champions courses at Tukwet Canyon.
The Southern California Golf Assn. keeps records of golfers' daily scoring posts.
"Between Oct. 1, 2011 and Oct. 1, 2012," Lacaillade says, "they had me for 355 rounds."
He is asked if he would describe his personality as compulsive.
"You think?" he replies.
There are other obvious questions.
Is he married?
"No," he says.

A serial killer is hunting the Pacific Northwest, murdering victims in a gruesome and spectacular way. The local police suspect "monsters" are involved, and have called in Anita Blake and Edward, U.S. Marshals who really know their monsters, to catch the killer.
But some monsters are very real—and even to speak their name can earn you a death sentence. The bogeymen of the vampire world, The Harlequin, are here in America hunting weretigers and human police. But Edward thinks the serial killings are just a trap—to lure Anita ever closer to the most dangerous vampire they've ever hunted…

Are You a Real Man?
"What's this?" I asked when Andrew handed me a page he'd ripped out of a magazine.
"Just read it."
There was an ad featuring a quote from Henry David Thoreau in the headline: "'Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined,'" I read aloud, then handed it back. "That's cool," I continued, pausing to choose my next words carefully. "So, um, you're into poetry now? Gosh, that'sjust great." I was already fearing the moment we'd run into a Four Wheeler reader and I'd be asked how manning-up Andrew was going as he walked alongside me sporting a pipe and cardigan with elbow patches, saying things like, "The Jeep-a thing of beauty is a joy forever."
"No," he replied. "I just thought it was maybe what Real Men do, follow their dreams. I think maybe I've lost sight of mine."
You see, there are aspects of his life that aren't exactly where he thought they'd be at this point, and he's been struggling over whether he should figure out how to get them back on track or simply let them go. Part of how he's doing that is by meeting and learning from Real Men, such as Ivan Stewart and the soldiers in the U.S. Army in our previous installments of "Are You a Real Man?" The goal is to help Andrew become a better man and live a better life based on the examples of how other Real Men live theirs.
You control the clutch, do not let the clutch control you. Both hands on the wheel unless you're actually switching gears.
-Chester Murray
But how exactly do we lose track of our dreams if they're that important to begin with? And does living life, with all its challenges, like just trying to pay the bills, sometimes make it necessary to let them go? I've joked about having a drawer full of my hopes and dreams, but is that because being in a drawer means they will never escape my grip, or because I don't need a reminder of what never will be?
It was either botulism or Thoreau that got Andrew and me trying to remember the age at which we'd first start dreaming, and whether that ended up shaping who we are today. I loved reading and writing as a kid, and would hole up for hours in my room tearing through book after book and writing story after story as my imagination ran wild, all the while my mom screaming for me to go outside and get some sun. Andrew was a voracious reader too, who also dreamed about what his life could be through other people's words. He ended up writing a short story in grammar school that he refers to now as "the first time I was published," since it appeared in a classroom-based book with other students' stories. Now we're both writers. And still pasty.
True, that means we're both living out a dream, but what about our other dreams? I mean, can you even get a dream back on track? And while we're at it, do you eventually become too old to dream?
I was in need of Botox or Botox Cosmetic from all the wrinkles these thoughts were causing.
We got to talking with Cappa about this subject, too. When they were really young, Andrew and Cappa would spend hours watching heavy equipment on job sites. They dreamed about what it would be like to drive something like that. An 18-wheeler, a dump truck, a bulldozer-the grown-ups who drove and operated those types of trucks were truly the coolest people ever, because they got to command big vehicles that were capable of doing all sorts of neat things, and these were the biggest vehicles in the world, as far as those young eyes were concerned.
And when Andrew was around 6 years old, he and his buddy Dent would play with Dent's 18-wheeler toy in the sandbox. One day he'd borrowed it, but then Dent moved to a different school and the two lost touch. Years later, the toy was discovered in a box that Andrew's parents were unpacking. Because he knew Dent had loved that truck as much as he did, Andrew took it to his house to return it. In fact, Andrew's mom told me he was so obsessed with toy trucks as a lad that his grandparents quickly realized the only way to spend quality time with their grandson was to crawl around on the floor with him as he played.
It was starting to make sense for this edition of Real Man to be about Andrew rediscovering that early dream of driving something big like a bulldozer or 18-wheeler. I mean, this is Four Wheeler and we're all about driving things, right? Plus it was something that spoke to him as a child. He's also told me that as an adult, he's often had to create his own paths. Maybe a bulldozer would make that a little easier.
If anyone was in full support of this idea, it was Cappa.
Cappa: "Come on, Andrew, you drive a Prius now. You've gotta get something on the other end of the spectrum."
Andrew: "Hey, if you can drive a Prius, you can drive anything."
Cappa: "Oh, really?"
In the blink of an eye, Andrew and I were standing in the dead center of five acres of dirt and mud, with the other end of the spectrum on either side of us: an excavator and a bulldozer.
We were in Las Vegas, home of Dig This (www.digthisvegas.com), which is billed as a "heavy-duty playground." During a 90-minute session, you can fulfill your dream of operating heavy equipment.
"I used to be a fencing contractor, and there was a lot of bulldozer work, because we used to clear roadways from forests and so on. Every now and then, and as a kid I did this too, I would stop and look at people operating heavy equipment; there was always a desire to operate," explained Ed Mumm, president of Dig This. "It wasn't until I built a house that I realized 'This is pretty cool,' because I was in an excavator and I had never operated an excavator before. After two hours of being on that machine I said, 'Wow! If I'm having this much fun, imagine all the people who don't get to do this.'"
It's interesting how people will pay to do for fun what others do daily as a way to make a hard living. It's also interesting that no one wants to pay to be a writer for 90 minutes.
Andrew's Dig This instructor was Travis Heeringa, who started him off in the excavator, the tool for "digging," even though he's been chomping at the bit since he was pint size to get inside a bulldozer, the one for "pushing." Travis first walked him through how to use the controls, then from a distance and via headset instructed him on not only the process of digging and filling a hole, but also through certain challenges, such as lifting,
transporting, and restacking three mondo tires. After successfully doing each task-including a slam dunk in a basketball-style game-Andrew then switched over to the long-lusted-after bulldozer, called a "finishing" dozer, which is used mainly for grooming; he spent time making a dirt pile that he then drove up and over, both forward and in reverse.

Don't forget to eat your vegetables on today's Lunch Trey...
Lance Armstrong has decided not to fight the doping charges leveled against him by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. He'll have to cede his seven Tour de France wins -- and the respect of the world -- as a result. Yahoo!'s Les Carpenter points out that, if he had had a case, Armstrong would have continued to battle to clear his name, which means he's guilty and his achievements tainted. Had just about enough banned-substances bad news in the sports headlines lately? Me too. On the plus side, it's led to some interesting insights; SI's Michael Rosenberg posits that, in the end, we don't really care that Lance cheated. And on Grantland Network's podcast The Triangle, Jonah Keri spoke to Brian Kenny about why fans seem to take baseball doping so much more personally.
VIDEO: Letterman wowed by Serena's red dress
You can give that a listen in the car, or you can try to find Mike Francesa's ten-minute rant after yet another anemic-hitting Mets loss yesterday afternoon. Francesa bellowed to the point of losing his voice about the lack of professionalism and how the team should refund the money of the "eight people" who showed up to the game. I'm a Mets fan; on the merits, I don't disagree with the guy. It's been a pretty choppy lap to swim since the All-Star Break. But at the same time, it's the Mets. You get this upset every time they look like a T-ball team, you'll give yourself a heart attack, bro. Amuse yourself by changing the lyrics to "Meet The Mets," like I do. ("Meet the Mets, meet the Mets, step right up and beat the Mets!") Or gaze upon this hilarious animated GIF of Terry Collins in despair.
And finally, ESPNW's Kate Fagan says that, although we've already started to forget many of the big headlines from the Olympics, we shouldn't forget a few of the ugly lessons we learned from the Lolo Jones coverage -- specifically, the double standard still applied to female athletes in terms of their looks:
Jones offered the example of U.S. teammate David Oliver, who took the silver medal in the 110-meter hurdles in Beijing, and then, in advance of London, secured a number of marketing deals, including this commercial with Coca-Cola. But Oliver failed to make this year's Olympic team. "He's very good-looking," Jones pointed out. "He was on magazine covers, and on some of them he was shirtless. And nobody ripped him apart when he didn't make the team. I made the team and finished fourth, and I was ripped to shreds because I had marketing deals. If a female is good-looking, it totally decreases her credibility. Now she's not a good athlete -- she's only good in these track meets because she's good-looking."

Eek! Does PCOS put you at risk of big babies?! I know there's some issue or other as I have chronic PCOS (reason for 9 years infertility I mentioned earlier) and my mws are insisting on 3 u/s because of my PCOS plus a referral to a consultant in 3rd tri, but nobody seemed terribly worried so I didn't think to educate myself further of what it might actually mean. I might have to go googling...
Well PCOS puts you at risk for developing GD which in turn puts you at risk for having a big baby.

I might ask about trying a verrrry small dose but seriously, I had such terrible muscle spasms and bone aches that I felt like an 80 year old most days. Worst drug I've ever been on but I've seen it do great things for so many women so I can't criticise too much!!
I was a bit lighter with DD and this pic isn't a close-up, but here I am at 29 weeks with DD.
Whenever I give out my birth history, OBs and MWs ask if I had GD. I never have had it, but I'm big and I have big babies (9.2, 9.3, 10.2). I wish people wouldn't stress so much about big babies. They act like our amazing vaginas don't have the ability to push out anything more then 8lbs.
Does anyone else lose weight when pregnant. I have already lost about 12-15 lbs.
I agree about the Metformin thing--I would have liked to stay on it through this pregnancy. I had terrible problems with milk supply last time and I know that Met can sometimes help. I'm planning to ask to resume as soon as the baby's born (Dr. Hale considers it quite safe for breastfeeding).
re: big babies -
I've popped enough now that I'll look very definitely pregnant if I'm in something that cinches under my boobs, so I might have to start wearing that look into work - I'm not sure how many more meetings I can bear with people obviously trying to figure out in their heads if I'm pregnant or just fatter than usual. It's sweet that people around me have nice enough manners that they don't want to congratulate me without being sure... maybe I need a shirt with "YES I'M PREGNANT" or something written on it?
Mamatolea - sorry you're scared, hope that settles down. This is my first and so far, ignorance is BLISS
re: big babies -
I was talking to my mother about the big baby issue and she pointed something out to me: her mother was a tiny wee thing, 4'10" and fine boned, who managed to push out my 12lb+ auntie with no problems at all. Whereas I decided to arrive 4 weeks early at 6lbs and took almost 2 days crawling out of my ample-hipped mother (and pretty much managed to tear her in half, which I hear about every mother's day). So I guess I'll keep trying to keep my blood sugar level and not stress it about it too much either way!
|I actually had one doctor tell me I would NEVER get pregnant because I was so fat!!!
IMO that is horribly cruel!!!
People who are so horribly cruel should be taken out and throughly pummeled with an empty Shasta bottle. But that's just me. :P
