K-1 began in 1993 and is a kickboxing platform and martial arts brand well-known worldwide mainly for its heavyweight division fights. On January 2012, K-1 Global Holdings Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong, acquired the rights to K-1, and is the current organizer of K-1 events worldwide.
The letter K in K-1 is officially designated as a representation of words karate, kickboxing and kung fu. Nevertheless, some reports suggest that it represents the initial K found in competing disciplines such as karate, kickboxing, kung fu, kempo, kakutougi (the generic Japanese term for "combat sports"), and [tae] kwon do.[1] Yet another theory claims that the K simply comes from kakutougi and the "1" component pertains to the single weight division (in earlier competition) and the champion's unique position.[2] Nevertheless, the promotion held several tournaments under K-2 and K-3 banners from 1993 to 1995.
K-1's predecessor Seidokaikan Karate was formed in 1980 by Kazuyoshi Ishii, a former Kyokushin karate practitioner who had formed his own organization to help promote the best stand-up martial artists.[3] Seidokaikan arranged several successful challenge events against other martial arts organizations, originally using rules based on the Kyokushin Knockdown karate rules, but gradually adapting and changing closer to kickboxing rules. In 1993, Mr. Ishii founded the K-1 organization exclusively as a kickboxing organization, closely cooperating with, but independent from Seidokaikan.[2]
Financial Problems[edit]
Starting in 2010, multiple stories began to surface regarding the financial troubles of K-1 and their parent company FEG.[4] Simon Rutz, the owner of the Dutch-based kickboxing promotion It's Showtime, claimed in January 2011 that some fighters from It's Showtime had not been paid for fights in K-1.[5]
In early 2011, FEG publicly announced that they were facing financial problems and that the organization would take some months off to restructure. A seemingly endless list of fighters and managers spoke out against FEG due to unpaid fight purses and objections to the direction that its owner was taking K-1. From outside speculation, it appeared that financial problems are severe, FEG could potentially lose ownership of K-1.[6]
The entire K-1 brand, along with most of its trademarks, with the exception of, 'K-1 Koshien', 'K-1 MAX' and 'Dream', were sold to Japanese real estate firm, Barbizon Corporation Limited, on July 28, 2011.[7]
There was yet to come even another change in ownership of K-1 brand. It was reported on February 1, 2012 that EMCOM Entertainment Inc. purchased K-1 from Barbizon.[8]
K-1 Global[edit]
In March 2012, It's Showtime announced that EMCOM Entertainment established a new company K-1 Global Holdings Ltd. in Hong Kong. K-1 Global Holdings, Ltd., became the new official owner of the K-1 brand. K-1 Global's agreement with promotion required that certain fighters signed under It's Showtime appear in upcoming K-1 Global events.[9]
A number of events were already planned and scheduled for the 2012 calendar before new K-1 ownership took complete control of the company. It's Showtime was the promoter of the first event presented by K-1 Global Holdings Ltd., the K-1 World MAX Final 16. It took place on May 27, 2012 at the Palacio Vistalegre in Madrid, Spain.
After the event, controversy and rumors circulated over the fact that once again, fighters were not paid for their performances. Problems were compounded due to unpaid financial obligations of FEG, and the complete transfer of ownership of the K-1 name was not yet complete. As a result, the K-1 World Grand Prix scheduled for 2012 would be cancelled is these issued were not resolved.[10]
Unfortunately, K-1 Global Holdings, Ltd., was blamed for the failure of an event they did not promote. They were also accused of not paying fighters when in fact, the promoter and FEG shared responsibilities in ensuring fighters were paid. The Chairman of the new K-1 resolved the matter by paying fighters what was owed and including a 50% bonus.[11]
It was announced in June 2012 that It's Showtime was purchased by Glory Sports International, eventually to be merged in their new promotion GLORY.[12]
On August 10, 2012 K-1's co-promotion agreement with Romanian-based kickboxing promotion SUPERKOMBAT was announced.[13] Eventually it was ended. Early next year SK president Eduard Irimia stated that its company will be independent in 2013 but will still continue to have cooperation with any interested promotion including K-1 by offering fighters.[14]

Tournament format[edit]
K-1 Grand Prix[edit]
Original K-1 Grand Prix was a single event tournament held in Japan where competitors participated on invitation. By 1998, K-1 introduced the K-1 World Grand Prix format composed of K-1 Regional Elimination Tournaments (theoretically amounting to six), which qualify fighters for the K-1 World Grand Prix Final, along with licensed K-1 Fighting Network events designed to hold national preliminaries for regional qualification. However, given the fact that K-1's popularity differs greatly among six K-1 regions, which may limit the number of actual elimination tournaments or change locations. For example, K-1 attempted to gain popularity in the United States by holding two GPs, however only a few Americans have ever qualified for the Finals. In 2006 one of the American GPs was relocated to Auckland. Additionally the K-1 Paris GP lost its qualifying right in favor of Amsterdam. Eventually Amsterdam lost it in favor of Łódź, and then Łódź in favor of Bucharest.
K-1 World Grand Prix Final Eliminator ("Final 16") is an event where 16 participants compete for the final eight spots in the Final ("Final 8"). Eight participants from the Final Eliminator meet at the K-1 World Grand Prix Final that was traditionally held at Tokyo Dome. It should be noted that lesser elements in the tournament format have been significantly modified in years. The 2012 final took place for the first time in history outside Japan, in Zagreb, Croatia.
K-1 World MAX and other[edit]
By 2002, K-1 started the K-1 World MAX ("Middleweight Artistic Xtreme") tournament for 70 kg (154 lb) Middleweight division, following a similar scheme to K-1 World Grand Prix (with theoretically four regional eliminators). In 2007, K-1 introduced two new Title belts separate from K-1 World GP Champions, Super Heavyweight World Title for fighters over 100 kg/220 lbs and Heavyweight World Title for fighters under 100 kg/156–220 lbs.

- Each match is three or five rounds in duration, with each round lasting three minutes.
- The match can end by Knockout, Technical Knockout, Decision, Disqualification, Draw or No Contest.
- Both the referee and the ring doctor have full authority to stop the fight.
- The fight is scored by three judges on a ten-point must system (The winner of each round receives ten points, and the loser receives nine or less. If the round is even, both competitors receive ten points).
- If there is a draw after three rounds, the judges' scores are thrown out and one or two extra three-minute rounds are contested. The judges' decision will then come from the scoring of each extra round only. If, after the extra round(s), there is still a draw, the judges will decide a winner based on the flow of the entire match, considering even the slightest difference. A fight can only end in a draw if both fighters go down at the same time and cannot get up, or in the case of accidental injury in the late stages of the contest.
- The three-knockdown rule is in effect (three knockdowns in a round results in a technical knockout).
- The mandatory eight count is in effect (the referee must count to at least "eight" on all knockdowns).
- The standing eight count is in effect (the referee has the right to declare a knockdown on a fighter who appears to be in a dangerous condition to continue in the match).
- A fighter can be saved by the bell only in the last round.
In K-1 single elimination tournament matches:
- Each match is three rounds in duration.
- The three-knockdown rule becomes a two-knockdown rule for all matches except the final.
- One or two reserve fights are held prior to the single elimination matches. If for any reason a fighter who wins and advances through the brackets is unable to continue, a reserve match competitor, or the fighter's opponent from the most recent match, takes his place. There are certain exceptions to this rule (i.e. a fighter who lost a match by knockout might not be eligible to replace another fighter).
The following actions in K-1 are considered fouls:[15]
- Using the head or elbow to deliver a blow
- Attacking the opponent in the groin
- Delivering wrestling or judo throwing or submission techniques
- Thumbing, choking or biting the opponent
- Punching the opponent in the throat
- Attacking the opponent while he is down or in the process of getting up
- Attacking the opponent after the referee calls a break
- Holding the ropes
- Using offensive language to the referee
- Attacking the back of the head with a punch
- Attempting to cause the opponent to fall out of the ring
- Voluntarily exiting the ring during the course of a match
- Attacking an opponent who turns around and shows his back (if the opponent loses his will to fight)
- Delivering a backspin blow in an unauthorized area
- Charging inside the opponent's arms with the head held low (inducing a head-butt)
- Fighting in a passive manner (without attacking), including continuous holding and clinching
- Attacking more than once while holding the opponent's kicking leg, or while holding the opponent's neck with both hands
A fighter is penalized as follows:
- Caution – verbal reprimand by the referee
- Warning – fighter is shown a yellow card
- Point Deduction – fighter is shown a red card
Two cautions result in one warning. Two warnings result in a point deduction, and three point deductions in one round can result in a disqualification.
A red card is shown automatically if a fighter commits a foul with malicious intent.
The sport is very popular in Japan, South Korea, Brazil, and in Europe in countries such as the Netherlands, Croatia and Romania but recently enjoys only limited popularity in the United States.
The events are frequently shown on Tokyo Broadcasting System and Fuji TV[16] in Japan, XTM in South Korea, Combate and SporTV in Brazil, Spike[17] (before HDNet Fights[18]) in the United States and on Eurosport in Europe.
There have been a few alleged nationality biased controversies as well. On May 13, 2006, an all-Dutch judging panel decided in favor of Remy Bonjasky from Netherlands against Jerome Le Banner from France at the K-1 World Grand Prix in Amsterdam. Many thought Jerome Le Banner had won the contest but judges had a slim majority decision in favor of the Dutch fighter Bonjasky (30–30, 29–28, 30–28). Le Banner filed a protest and K-1 officials from Japan and the United States reviewed the match based on current K-1 Grand Prix judging criteria and two weeks later on June 30, 2006, the result was reversed and Jerome Le Banner was officially announced as the new winner.

You certainly cannot access
from ASP without having an EJB server that supports it. It would at least need to support a naming service that is suitable for COM probably.
I don't know of anthing that exists at present.
In your position I would consider replacing the ASP with JSP code. JSP is far superior to ASP. If you are going to the expense of purchasing an EJB server then make sure you get one that support

Benefits of JSP over ASP.
Because ASP uses ActiveX controls for its components, ASP technology is basically restricted to Microsoft Windows-based platforms. Offered primarily as a feature of Microsoft IIS, ASP technology does not work easily on a broader range of Web servers because ActiveX objects are platform specific.
Although ASP technology is available on other platforms through third-party porting products, to access components and interact with other services, the ActiveX objects must be present on the selected platform. If not present, a bridge to a platform supporting them is required.
Not suprisingly M$ does not support this. I wonder why.
Extensible JSP Tags
The first difference apparent to any page author are the JSP tags themselves. While both ASP and JSP use a combination of tags and scripting to create dynamic Web pages, JSP technology enables developers to extend the JSP tags available. JSP developers can create custom tag libraries, so page authors can access more functionality using XML-like tags and depend less on scripting. With custom tags, developers can shield page authors from the complexities of page creation logic and extend key functions to a broader range of authors.
Reusability Across Platforms
The Java Advantage
JSP technology uses the Java language for scripting, while ASP pages use Microsoft VBScript or JScript. The Java language is a mature, powerful, and scalable programming language that provides many benefits over the Basic-based scripting languages. For example, the Java language provides superior performance to the interpreted VBScript or JScript languages. Because they use Java technology and are compiled into Java servlets, JSP pages provide a gateway to the entire suite of server-side Java libraries for HTTP-aware applications.
The Java language makes the developer's job easier in other ways as well. For example, it helps protect against system crashes, while ASP applications on Windows NT systems are susceptible to crashing. The Java language also helps in the area of memory management by providing protection against memory leaks and hard-to-find pointer bugs that can slow application deployment. Plus, JSP provides the robust exception handling necessary for real-world applications.
Easier Maintenance
Scripting languages are fine for small applications, but do not scale well to manage large, complex applications. Because the Java language is structured, it is easier to build and maintain large, modular applications with it.
JSP technology's emphasis on components over scripting makes it easier to revise content without affecting logic, or revise logic without changing content.
Because JSP technology is an open, cross-platform architecture, Web servers, platforms, and other components can be easily upgraded or switched without affecting JSP-based applications. This makes JSP suitable for real-world Web applications, where constant change and growth is the norm.
Also, how does ASP manage conversational state for a web transaction? I believe it can only use URL rewriting.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't make any blanket statement that JSP is superior to ASP, or vice versa. It really depends on many things, like your platform, financial resources, and developer skill set. JSP is more broadly supported by vendors than ASP and is more aligned with the OO design approach, but IMHO ASP is easier to develop and is no less robust.
There are a couple of interesting articles comparing JSP vs. ASP by James Cooper in JavaPro Magazine (April and July 2000), which have generated quite a bit of interesting feedback from readers, primarily ASP developers. They are worthy of reading (not available online, unfortunately).
Coming back to the original question, if you are talking about a regular JavaBean, or a regular Java class, not a EJB bean, you can certainly call it from your ASP pages on a Windows platform. The below article shows you how:
Another JSP/ASP article is at:
I know any time JSP/ASP comparison is made, it can create passionate debate. Just throw in my 2 cents and not to flame anyone.

I just want to add that there is nothing that ASP cannot do that JSP can do. In ASP session info is managed using the built-in Session object, much like JSP's implicit session object.
The use of COM components written in VB, VC++, VJ++, or Delphi works just like the custom tags in JSP. The visual studio set of tools make debugging components mauch less painful.
As a side, I have not been able to deploy a .war file from
3.1 to WebLogic 5.1. There is a certain way to go before we can say "write once, deploy anywhere" with confidence.

ASP vs JSP
Just to let you all know..
We are in the process of migrating a FULLY M$ oriented system of COM objects, ASP pages, VB dll's etc etc into a Java solution that will eventually be using EJB components with Webshpere.
To make it painless and seamless we have converted most of our COM objects to Java Classes and then just registered them on the OS. So now the "beginner/intermediate" ASP programmers are still using the ASP and the COM objects they are used to now realising they are actually Java Beans and classes registered using Javareg.
I don't say this is a best approach, but once we move to FULL Java and take out the ASP part all the 'grunt' (Controller) work is already done for us. This also allows to to least effect out deliverable timelines AND totally change the underlying technology that a poorly designed system was built on.
Painless and a fun topic to throw around at parties.
should be
by "code" tags.
I agree. Here's the link:

Computers: If you need to print something during the day, don't go to Alkek, you'll be waiting in line for ever. Have your own printer to use if you need to print color or small things, otherwise go to the labs during non-peak hours.For good labs DURING peak hours, I recommend the ASBS Lab as it's really handy and usually not extremely busy, just bring your own stapler.
Computers: There are plenty of computer labs around campus and many places for printing.
Computers: There are lots of computer labs on campus. While there is one in the library Alkek, there is almost one in every classroom building if you look for it. You can find where these computer labs are online on the university website. The network reliability is pretty good, sometimes in the dorms it is a bit unstable. The need for a personal computer is great, since you turn in homework or papers online in multiple classes. A personal printer isn't necessary. At the library you can print tons of work for free with your NetID along with at any other computer lab.
Computers: There are so many computer labs that students have access to. The internet is fast and doesn't take long to get in and get out of the computer lab before going to class.

There are computer labs in most every building on the Texas State campus. In addition, you can connect to the wireless Internet anywhere on campus, which means you can be online while you wait for class to start, sit outside during some downtime, in your dorm room, or even while eating in any of the dining halls. The Alkek Library also has laptops you can check out that are equipped with wireless access and word processing programs. There are certain computers with special software, like the Adobe packages (InDesign, Illustrator, etc.), map making hardware like ArcMap, and accounting programs. Every computer lab is different, but all connect to the Internet and are set up with the latest versions of Microsoft Office. Many of the labs now even have Apple desktop computers, and man, are they spiffy! In terms of printing out documents, fees are only included within certain departments. But you don't pay every time you print; the fee is included in your lab fee.
Every computer lab has lab assistants whose jobs are to assist you with any computer problem you may have, whether it's a printing issue, using the pre-installed software you may have to use for a class, or connection troubles. No problem is too great. Texas State also has an excellent IT service. These guys will follow up right away with any issue you have. You can e-mail them with your issue or give them a call (calling works best, though).

Winn-Dixie, North Monroe St., Tallahassee, FL - called the store to ask if they could check the price of the two bottles purchased - wouldn't do price check over the phone

Winn-Dixie, North Monroe St., Tallahassee, FL - called the store to ask if they could check the price of the two bottles purchased - wouldn't do price check over the phone
Winn-Dixie - poor customer service
Just noticed it's proper to put the location....this complaint I recently sent is for the NORTH MONROE ST, TALLAHASSEE, FL location. Love your site - thanks!
I purchased two bottles of wine that were both discounted with my rewards card but when I got home and examined my receipt noticed they were not subtracted from my receipt. It shows on my receipt my reward information so I know my card was scanned.
Later that day I called the store to ask if they could check the price of the two bottles. She refused to check over the phone and said I needed to come into the store. I live 30 miles away and asked if the prices would be the same tomorrow - she said, "I don't
know you'll have to just come in and we can look on our computers to see what the certain price was that date." I understand that, but if it's not on the receipt then it certainly won't be in their computers later on!!
I told her that but she interrupted and said, "Ma'am you're not listening. You need to come into the store and we can look up the price in our computers." Not doing a price check for just TWO items that are located on the same row? Interrupting a customer and telling them that they're not listening? It's easy to understand why Winn-Dixie is going bankrupt. =====
The person who can't dance says the band is lousy.

Matt Williams' Blog: Codeigniter Database session fix

Matt Williams has a new post to his blog with his own fix to a problem he was having with his CodeIgniter application - the continuous session logouts.For weeks I tolerated the annoyance of CodeIgniter's Session library logging my out continuously, saying to myself "I works...kind of...I'll fix it later". Eventually the problem started affecting AJAX method calls, large file uploads and simple CRUD operation forms so I began trawling the internet for a fix.

Drupal4Hu.com: OOP and PHP or why Drupal rocks and some mistakes
, 25 August 2010
On the Drupal4Hu.com site there's a recent post with a complaint about the OOP functionality in PHP and how Drupal developers should deal with its limitations.While I was always complaining of PHP's inability of adding a method run-time, the problem we face is that you can't replace one either. So if you do what I did in the previous post, namely use the hook-alter patten (already an addition to PHP, I must say) to override the classname, that works. However, if two modules try to do this for two...

Razors and Development
Planet PHP
, 24 August 2010
A few years ago I switched to an old fashion safety razor and haven't looked back. The latest entry into the razor market has reaffirmed my decision as the right one. The new Pro Glide from Gillette only costs less than $10 to purchase. Good deal, right? Nope. The replacement blades cost $3-$4 each! Assuming you get a few weeks out of each blade, you're looking at paying between $6 and $10 every month to use this razor blade.It's a great deal-for Gillette.I use Merkur razor.

In case you ever heard me talking about PHP internals I certainly mentioned something along the lines of "Everything in PHP is a HashTable" that's not true, but next to a zval the HashTable is one of the most important structures in PHP. While preparing my "PHP Under The Hood" talk for the Dutch PHP Conference there was a question on IRC about extension_loaded() being faster than function_exists(), which might be strange as both of them are simple hash lookups and a hash lookup is said to be O(1).

As a member of the fire service I reach out and offer my condelences of your loss of one of my brothers in arms. My thoughts and prayers go out to you as you remember your loved one and even thought they pain you from time to time, may your memories last forever and a day so that while he may no longer be with you or us of his extended family here on earth,he will look down upon you from his new station assignment with the greatest chief of all and know that you remember the best of times that was had and that he still walks with you in all of oyur endevors. I lost some friends that i had made online through a FF's chat site, and a good friend of mine lost his uncle, Chief Ray Downey. We both have a sensation of the pain that you feel, and void that it leaves.
These posts and replys are of my own personal beliefs and in no such way reflect the vies of any agency that I work or vollunteer for.

Thank You!!
Thank you so much for your kindness, I still cant grasp all of this heart ach, There were so many brave heros..So many women left with no husbands..so many children left with no fathers. This truly is a heart break and so many people have the same pain have the same lose.There are alot more guardian angels watching over all of us,they truly walk every step with us. Thank You and God Bless
They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.
A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.
If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
Author unknown
God bless all those touched by the tragedies of 9/11!
My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Mathew & his brothers
First of all I am a Mum and I cannot imagine in a million years the pain that Mathews Mum, Dad and family feel, there are no words that I can say that will take away the pain of losing a loved one on that horrendous day. I work from home as the National Fundraiser for the Fire Services National Benevolent fund and received a phone call to tell me to look at the News Bulletin. I watched the whole thing unfold in front of my eyes, but like most people could not believe what I was seeing. When I realised what was happening, that this was not an accident by Air Traffic Control, selfishly but as a Mum I started to panic because my daughter was working next to the American Embassy in London. We did'nt know where they would hit next. Great Britain will be there everytime to support America and I was so afraid that I was going to lose my child. I have never told anyone that.
As a National Fundraiser my phone lines were inundated with calls from Fire Fighters and the general public all over Great Britain asking what they could do to help. We set up a fund the following day as we did not know what else to do, we felt totally helpless. However, I could not find an account that was giving direct funding to the families and ended up with a list of 19 bank accounts. It was then decided that I should go to New York with one of my fire fighters Bob McTague (Chelsea) to asertain which fund this money should be paid into.
My visit to New York was against my families wishes and if I am honest and I have never told anyone this, I was scared, but I wanted to ensure that the monies that had been raised here in Great Britain went directly to the families and not sit in bank accounts for years to come. What happened next will still remain with me for the rest of my life.
We were invited to Ground Zero with Mayor Guiliani which we were not prepared for and had not expected. I cannot explain how I felt after my visit, I still feel numb and cannot to put it into words. We then visited many Fire Houses and our time with Hazmat 1 Squadd 288 has made a big impact on my life but a determination to make life better for those who survived 9/11. It has left me with a feeling of great sadness and guilt for intruding on their personal grief. I will never forget the day at Squadd 288 when they all stood in a circle to accept a "hammer" a gesture which was inscribed and presented to them. They were all so dignified and showed their gratitute, but I saw their tears. I don't think they realised because they were suffering so terribly at the loss of their friends, but I did and I will carry that memory with me for the rest of my life. they cooked us lunch and insisted that we stay. They will be mine and Bob's friends for life.
I agreed to go to New York to ensure the funds went to the families and Squadd 288 has fulfilled that promise on behalf of our fire fighters and the general public in London and many parts of Great Britain. Phil McArdle and Rob Crowe have been a tower of support for us here in Great Britain and if I could commend them and they would accept it, I would.
I did however go for another reason. I was concerned about the surviving Fire Fighters and their familes. We have a wonderful Benevolent Fund in Great Britain because America and Canada stepped up to the plate and sent funds for our Widow and Orphans following the Second World War. Some of this money was used to start our fund which today assists injured fire fighters, widows/orphans, disabled, less able and retired members. We also have two wonderful convalencence centres, one of which is set in 300 acres of land, a state of the art therapy centre, plus sheltered housing for our widows/widowers. We owe it to America to let you see what we did to with the funds so that you may look and maybe adapt somehting similar for yourselves.
Please when and if you feel like it take a look at our website which is www.fsnbf-group5.org.uk
I would if it would help be more than willing to make that journey again to show you what we have and advise you how to achieve setting up a similar fund.
Nothing will never take away the pain and I do understand that, but maybe we can together ensure that their memory is NEVER forgotten.
Lots of love and God Bless

Here are a couple of steps to mitigate the surreptitious threat that rootkits pose:
More on rootkit education
Expert advice collection: Rootkit education - Take a "diff" of your system. This one is for the more difficult infestations. For Windows users, Locate32 is a tool that creates a database of the names of all of the files on your hard drive. Although the primary purpose of this tool is to serve as a poor man's desktop search, it can track differences in files from one database snapshot to another. That turns out to be a very handy way to detect significant changes in your system directory, for example -- a telltale sign of a rootkit installation.
As the old adage goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. These preventative measures will help ensure rootkits never make it onto your systems:
- Use some special Windows Registry tweaks. One such modification, for instance, is to create a limited set of permissions for the HKLM\SYSTEMCurrentControlSet\Services keys so that only authorized installer services can make entries there.
- Buy best-of-breed commercial antivirus software. Newer versions of common AV solutions are beginning to include heuristic rootkit detection technology, which coupled with the distributed management capabilities of these business solutions will protect a lot of corporate desktops that are not currently shielded.
- Consider a different browser platform. This is common advice, but it bears repeating here. Internet Explorer 6 has had a vast number of vulnerabilities and security holes since its release in 2001 with Windows XP. Rootkits often find IE a ripe vector for infiltrating systems and bypassing other defense mechanisms. Using Mozilla Firefox or another alternative browser is a relatively simple way to close a lot of significant doors into your Windows system.
- Deploy firewalls both at the perimeter and internally. The common wisdom used to be that only perimeters needed firewalls -- your internal machines were trustworthy since they were located in a controlled environment. However, one machine with a rootkit installed strips that control away. Use a software-based firewall on your internal systems to seriously hinder the ability of rootkits to spread internally.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Hello prospective students and parents,I am happiest doing what I love - teaching mathematics, no matter what grade level or content area! I convey this to my students with joy, compassion and understanding. I know that many students have trouble mastering mathematics and many do not even like my subject, but I thrive on explaining it in such a way that students want to learn it and do well. Personal stories and a little humor always come into play, and while students may see me as a master of my subject, I try to convey that they too, can master it with some hard work and diligence. I teach mathematics so that I might make a difference in a student's world – that I might be their hope and inspiration to finally learn the subject that is often dreaded and hated.One of the challenges of teaching is meeting individual needs and differences. Therefore, using a variety of teaching styles and strategies is what I believe helps foster student learning.My experience ranges from teaching students in middle school to teaching students at the community college, which I have done now for the past 18 years. My Bachelor of Science degree is in Secondary Mathematics Education (grades 7-12) from Millersville University, Millersville, PA, and my Master's degree is in Mathematics Education from Arcadia University, Glenside, PA.I look forward to hearing from you!

| NO ! you should NEVER use 2 firewalls ! they can create conflicts, resulting in LESS security. turn off Windows Firewall, you don´t need it. actually, i once had both Comodo´s firewall and Windows firewall running, i was testing different firewalls and when i activated Comodo´s firewall i forgot to turn off Windows firewall. it took a week before i discovered it, and i didn´t have any problems during that time. but don´t do it ! Comodo: run Comodo´s Firewall & Defence+ in training-mode for a few days so it learns your "normal" programs, then set both to safe-mode. |

| I've also noticed that the Comodo firewall installation doesn't turn off the Windows Firewall. Most firewall programs do and I think it's just a weakness in the install routine. Just turn it off manually and remember to turn it back on if you remove Comodo at some point. |

| I believe Maxxwire in one of the other threads touts how it is best to have a HIPS (Host Intrusion Protection System) in place and sandboxing is part of it. Firewall is only there to go "You want to come into this port or go out this port..." Sandboxing, if I understand it correctly, is basically a nanny on programs, watching what it does and if it does something that isn't right, it stops it dead in its tracks. |

OK, the voters have indicated they don't think fast ferries are WORTH IT. Does it really make any difference why it is not wanted? We have a marine transportation infrastructure in place that simply needs to be operated better. Work on improving WSF and get them into the PO business if necessary. Personally, I think paralleling an existing WSF run with a PO boat is an obvious waste. Go for a third boat for Bremerton (if you wanna think big) and go for PO's from Southworth, Kingston, Edmonds, Everett, Port Townsend, Tacoma, Gig Harbor, etc. Quit screwing around, wasting time on this Bremerton PO. It's over rated, AND I AM PERSONALLY INVESTED IN BREMERTON! I just don't see what is so hard to see here, it is simply redundant. Some people have tunnel vision on this issue and it's a shame since we are all paying for this wasted time on the wrong approach. If Hayes' tenacity made sense I'd be impressed but I'm not seeing it and two votes have indicated I'm not alone.
To "mejum":We the voters apparently don't want fast ferries, since we voted it down twice. How about you "Give me a f*#$ing break?". Spend time promoting a cause that people actually want.
Purtymouth is one classy dude..."Kitsappalachians"?
PurtyMouth, You are apparently professing intellectual superiority and you ID yourself as "PurtyMouth"? Jerry is on line one, it's for you.
Why is it that so many folks immediately focus on "the overpaid union members"? Do you even have a clue what is involved in what we do? I know you don't because if you did you'd be looking for real solutions rather than the default complaint about us and what you perceive to be overpayment.
Try taking the time to research where the actually flexible monies go in the ferry system. Those citing over regulation are getting warm. Poor management is a given only because by definition, a bureaucracy is inefficient. That being said, mass transit by definition is not profitable. No private sector entrepreneur could make this a profitable venture. Tax payers will pay one way or another for this service. Further, if you think abandoning this ferry service is a viable answer, you are simply an idiot.

Daemen College : Admissions : Admissions Staff : Meet our Student Staff : Telecounselors : Gabriella Haycock
Year: Freshman
Major: Physical Therapy
Hometown: Clayton, NY
Activities: Telecounseling
1. Why did you choose Daemen?
I chose Daemen because I was looking for a school that would give me a great opportunity of getting into the field that I wanted to get into. Daemen has a 100% pass rate for their physical therapy classes and it was highly praised by many of the therapists that I spoke with. Also, after stepping foot on campus and having a tour, I knew Daemen was the school for me.
2. What attracted you to Daemen?
What attracted me to Daemen was its size. I come from a small school and a small town so for that reason I wanted to go to a small college. I also love to go to the city so I wanted to be close enough that I could visit the city, but not have to deal with the busyness of the city. Daemen is a small school in a small town, but it is close enough to the city that I can visit whenever I want to.
3. What are you most proud of?
I am most proud of everything that I have gone through in my life to get where I am today. Everyone always says that hard work pays off, but I was never too sure. I now know that hard work does pay off because I have gotten to the point where I am and I am still succeeding.
The Western New York Service Learning Coalition, located on Daemen's campus serves as a conduit for community organizations seeking service-learning students.

on the new board.
Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the ever-changing sports business landscape in Wisconsin and around the country
The new Brewers scoreboard and replays
Imagine you just paid thousands of dollars for a new Ferrari, but you learned there's no place to go to really see how fast it can go.
That's kind of what the Brewers are feeling. The franchise's new scoreboard, estimated to cost between $9 and $11 million, will be a state-of-the-art board featuring picture quality you might find at home.
But what's the point if you can't watch controversial calls that occur on the field? While it's true that we'll see all of the home runs and the great fielding moments, it's the controversial calls the fans want to see.
At Lambeau Field, you see it all on the big videoboards. The interference calls, the pass a referee called a catch but really wasn't, or whether the ground or the player caused a fumble.
But thanks to Major League Baseball guidelines, the videoboard operator at Miller Park has to sit on his hands when there is a close call.
That might change some day because MLB is reviewing the replay guidelines.
Rick Schlesinger, the Brewers' executive vice president of business operations, told Marquette University law students on Thursday that he would like MLB to change.
Schlesinger said the current rules are a vestige of the dated "Kill the Umpire" cry.
What makes the current situation so absurd is the fact that fans sitting in the suites at Miller Park can watch the replay on their suite television over and over again. But the fans in the stands? Nope.
Schlesinger acknowledged that baseball wants to be sensitive to the umpires. The blown call, the call open to interpretation is there for all to see. But that's no different than what fans see at NFL and NBA games.
"Technology doesn't care about sensitivity," Schlesinger said.
With a new scoreboard, Schlesinger said he wants to see if the Brewers can "push the envelope" a little this upcoming season so that fans can get a glimpse of close calls.
"If we get a warning letter from MLB for being too aggressive on replays, well, OK," Schlesinger said.

great idea darwin We can all watch the game in 20 degree comfort while paying %6.75 for a beer. You are a marketing genius!
@jgreg It would still be cheaper then standing in the parking lot at the new Cowboys stadium and spending 200.00 for the experience. And stop complaining out loud about the temp, this is Wisconsin after all.
MLB Umps should have to deal with replays of their calls! If all they have to do is look at the big screen, then they should never get a call wrong. Look at the NBA, they're refs make Phantom calls and ridiculous calls all the time and we all see them and it doesn't matter because it's fixed for the large markets and super-stars to get to the playoffs. I don't want baseball to be like like this. It's the reason I can't sit through an NBA game!(because it's not fairly officiated)I'm pumped up about the new scoreboard and even more excited about the season starting.GO BREWERS!!!
Wow. That sounds like a nice 'TV' to watch the Superbowl on. Close the roof and have a Superbowl party.........Wisconsin style
I've been to several games and shared season tickets over the years and there is a lack of replays as it is. We might see a replay of a home run, but rarely do we get the replay of an outstanding catch or play.
Baseball needs to come into the 21st century, and use the technology available to settle disputed calls on the field.
jgreg-I must be a marketing genius.
I know what a $ sign is. -
how about allowing managers to protest bad calls-give him a little red flag, throw that bad boy out there and let's humble these umps a little. if you lose the appeal, you lose an out. so what if a 3 hour game becomes 4. leave the concession stands open-that means beer too. once you mention money, the rules board goes stupid-they'll do anything then. each mgr. gets 3 appeals. if you get all three wrong, he's got to run the bases with his pants around his ankels. that's the part we may have trouble with though. beer sales will skyrocket
Hey JGagg, I don't know if you know where Miller Park is, but they have a roof and heating system. I think it was a great idea, have the place filled with Packers/Brewers fans.

Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
With the Reds postseason ended and people talking about the negatives of this series, I mentioned that I didn't feel as if losing the series this year was all that bad. Our young players got a taste of the postseason and it will IMO make them even hungrier next season.
Which leads me to this, which is the most painful loss you've ever watched? Mine happened as recently as this past year. The Kentucky-West Virginia game in the Elite Eight. Two reasons: 1. Living in Parkersburg, having to listen to the WVU fans crow about beating Kentucky only added salt to the wound. In addition, my girlfriend who is a WVU fan (sister goes to Morgantown) watched the game with me that night. Not a pleasant experience. 2. Watching how close the players were and how special this team was, that it ended prematurely. John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins won over the Kentucky fans in just a short period of time and once the game was over, we knew it was the last time we would ever see a special group of talented players. In a way this loss was similar to the Reds, but different. Similar in that you knew the Reds (and UK) were back in the national spotlight. Different though in that the core pieces of UK's team was gone while the Reds will still field the same team roughly next season. I don't include the Christian Laettner shot because I wasn't old enough at the time. Second on my list would be 1999 and the one game playoff with the Mets. Two things stood out to me. One was Sean Casey breaking his bat after striking out in the 9th inning and the other being Rickey Henderson heckling the fans in the OF during the game. I've never wanted to see a player get hit with an object until I saw that. Definitely moved the Mets up the list of teams I cheered against for some time. |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Haven't been watching sports for very long... it's between Game 2 of the 2010 NLDS between the Reds and Phils (the Reds had something like 4 errors in that game- it was awful), and a game where some dude named Brooks Conrad (who made 3 errors last night, btw, :eek:) hit a walk-off GS for the Braves against the Reds off Laynce Nix's glove. That was bad too, and the last time I recall seein' Stinkin' Lincoln pitch.

Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
The Colts loss to Pittburgh in 2005 playoffs when the Colts had the best team in the league and Pittsburgh scraped in the playoffs and should not have even gotten past the Bengals has to be at the top of the list for me.
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
For me the LCS doesnt rank very highly just because hardly anyone was giving us much chance anyways (although Game 2 really stung).
1. Snow Job= The name just ends any chance of a good mood for me for the next week. There is NO F'ing way the idiots in the NFL HQ will ever convince me there was proof that the other hand hadnt ended the "pump" and thus a fumble. The Raiders made the play to win the game and Walt Coleman stretched the rules far beyond the intent to make up something to give NE another chance. That could have been the rise of the Raiders to what they use to be with Gruden at the helm and he's never allowed to leave and thus #2 wouldnt happen. 2. Super Bowl vs Tampa= I kept telling myself that we had to have some different things in place to avoid total meltdown. Then Barrett Robbins goes AWOL, and Tampa Bay's D is running around like theyre in the F'Ing Huddle. This game showed me Callahan was as useless as the other dozen or so coaches Al had hired besides Gruden. 3. Fiesta Bowl ND vs WVU= Major gets hurt early and Im sick watching the rest of the game.

The first thing that pops in my head is Carson Palmer squirming in pain after the Kimo hit in the playoffs against the Steelers. I damn near cried. All the years waiting, 15, and all the excitement evaporated on his first throw of the game. Devastating, demoralizing, and depressing. The result of the game was a foregone conclusion after the injury. Easily the most unfair and unlucky thing I've ever seen in sports with everything involved with the loss.
Honorable mentions: *Bengals loss to SF in their 2nd Super Bowl meeting. I was still pretty young so it didn't sting that much. *Christian Laettner beating UK. Also, still pretty young. *Arizona beating UK in the '97 Final. UK was unreal that year. They would've clobbered Arizona if their best player, Derek Anderson, could've played. *Reds losing in '99 to the Mets in a one-game playoff after the Reds choked against the Brewers in the season-ending series. |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
#1 on my list, and it's not even close, is Super Bowl 23, the second one against the 49ers.
The Laettner shot that beat UK in the 1992 East Final doesn't bother me, because that team probably gained more fame from getting beat by that shot than they would have if they'd won and made the Final Four. #2 on my list is the other Bengals Super Bowl, XVI in 1982. The first World Series I really remember was 1975, so I didn't experience the heartbreak of 1970, 1972, and 1973. |

Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Probably MSU over TOSU in 1998. I still say that was the best college football team I have ever watched.
What an incredible loss and probably the key in getting Cooper fired a few years later. I guess it shouldn't be that bad now that we have Coach Tressel. That loss absolutely shocked me to the core though. |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Tom Watson's bogey on #18 at he 2009 British Open. I've never been so heart-broken watching sports.
The only other time might be the obvious Super Bowl 23, but I was a kid at the time and it didn't really sting all that much. |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Easily Super Bowl XXIII the Bengals loss to the 49ers. I can still remember that last drive and losing with about 30 seconds left. As the years go by I really wonder if that is the closest the Bengals will ever come to a championship.
2nd would be the playoff game I was at where Carson's knee was hurt versus the Steelers I have never seen a huge crowd go completely silent like that. |

Reds '99 loss to the Mets
Kimo takes out Carson Kenyon Martin break his leg in the NCAA tourney Dodgers beat Giants in '93 to give Braves the division (I was a big Will Clark/Giants fan) Bengals/Niners Super Bowl (2nd one) Colts/Saints |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
'99 Mets loss was horrible.
Some "good" ones mentioned on here, but for me, it was Kenyon going down in a meaningless conference tournament game against St. Louis. I was confident UC had the best team in the nation that year and was destined to meet eventual champion Michigan State in that year's championship, but Kenyon breaking his leg just completely took the wind out of our sails. It's still painful to me 10 years after the fact.
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Game 2 of the 2010 NLDS was number 2 for me. This is probably number 3: Pittsnogle and Gansey's last game. YouTube - Texas knocks off West Virginia in the Sweet 16 |
Re: Most Painful Sports Loss of your Lifetime
Miami's hockey team loss to Boston University in the championship game in 2009. They gave up two goals in the final minute and lost in OT. I have it on tape and still will not watch it.

Veteran Czech centre Petr Nedved has retired from ice hockey, a month after playing in the Sochi Olympics.
Mayday doesn't need any help. At this point, the Taiwanese band is pretty much on top of the world.
Canada has its first gold medal at the Sochi Paralympic Winter Games and it came Monday from a usual suspect, cross-country skier Brian McKeever, who won the men's visually impaired 20-km race. The 34-year-old from Canmore, Alta., finished in a time of 52 minutes 37.1 seconds for his eighth career Paralympic gold medal. McKeever won three gold medals at the Vancouver Paralympics four years ago and has two more races to go in Sochi. Here's a look at Monday's win, and back to highlights from his triumphs in the Vancouver games in 2010.
Brent Hayden was born in Maple Ridge and started swimming competitively with the Mission Marlins at age five. As an elite-level athlete, he became world champion in the 100-metre freestyle and was a three-time Olympian. At the London Summer Olympics in 2012, he was the first Canadian to compete in the 100-metre freestyle final since the 1960 Olympics. He won bronze and shortly after announced his retirement. Now he coaches young swimmers, and he's focused on a career in photography. An exhibition of his work opens Tuesday, March 11 at Foot of Main Gallery, 119 Main at Alexander. Q Why did you retire after your Olympic bronze medal?
With Edmonton's Shannon Szabados slated to suit up in net for the Southern Professional Hockey League's Columbus, Ga., Cottonmouths later this month, here is a look at five women who have played pro hockey against men.
For the past month, Big White Ski Resort has hosted the Canadian Paralympic Snowboard Team as they prepare for the Sochi 2014 Winter Games.
Vancouver Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo has made waves since arriving on the West Coast in a blockbuster trade from the Florida Panthers in June 2006. Now the two-time Olympic gold medallist is headed back to the Sunshine State after Tuesday's eve-of-NHL trade deadline deal.
Defenceman Dalton Prout and centre Artem Anisimov scored in the second period as the Columbus Blue Jackets held off the Toronto Maple Leafs for a 2-1 victory on Monday.
Canada's Olympic medallists Patrick Chan and Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir are skipping the world figure skating championships.
NEW YORK — Billie Jean King's taxi ride home after the Sochi Olympics included a revelation.
Jon Mikl Thor is a strong man. Strong enough to bend steel bars with his teeth, and blow up hot water bottles till they explode. Not the kind of guy who gets all misty-eyed at romance movies.
Perennial contender Glenn Howard didn't make it this time. Nor did 2010 Olympic champion Kevin Martin, a four-time Brier winner.
He came home with a banged up left hand and no medal, so you might think Ryan Kesler has had enough of the Winter Olympics.
Ryan Kesler stood at his dressing room stall, stared into a sea of microphones and TV cameras, took a deep breath and insisted Thursday his heart remains with the Vancouver Canucks.
It's only Thursday, but already this has been one whacky week for the Vancouver Canucks. And after Wednesday, things will probably get whackier still.
VOTE HERE: Even one week ago, asking such a question would seem absurd. But now nursing a sore hand (thank you, Sochi Olympics) and reportedly a bruised ego, Ryan Kesler could be headed for divorce from the Vancouver Canucks.
A clearly agitated Mike Gillis refused to directly address a report that centre Ryan Kesler has asked the Vancouver Canucks to trade him.
The Canadian Paralympic Committee confirmed Wednesday it is sending a team of 54 athletes to Sochi to contest all sports — sledge hockey, wheelchair curling, para-alpine skiing, para-nordic/biathlon and para-snowboard. The opening ceremonies are March 7 with competition beginning the following day and stretching through to March 16.
Carving graceful turns on Grouse Mountain while strapped into a bucket attached to a heavy duty mono-shock that sits atop a single ski, Ian Hickenbotham embodies the adage that it's never too late to learn a new trick. At age 62, he is in his second winter as a sit-skier.
Montreal Canadiens star goaltender Carey Price left the team's Wednesday morning skate with what the club is calling a lower-body injury.

DIN rail power supplies for low power applications
The TDK-Lambda DRB series of DIN rail power supplies by TDK Corporation are designed for industrial, building automation, and process control applications that require low power.
TDK Corporation's TDK-Lambda DRB series of DIN rail power supplies are for low power applications that require less space on the mounting rail.
Designed to support the growing trend for simple and economic DIN power solutions in industrial, building automation and process control applications, the DRB series combines low cost and extremely compact dimensions with industry leading efficiency of up to 91%. No load power consumption is between <0.3 W and <0.5 W depending on the model type.
Housed in a robust plastic case, the DRB series offer a narrow design, ranging from 18 mm to 45 mm, saving space on the DIN rail. The smallest model measures just 18 mm x 7 5mm x 90 mm (DRB15-24-1); all DRB models will mount on either a TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 DIN rail offering engineers a flexible option for various applications. In addition, they have been rigorously tested for shock and vibration while mounted onto the rail.
The supplies operate from a universal input of 85~264 V ac and have EN61000-3-2 compliance, enabling worldwide use; moreover, they can withstand input voltage surges of 30 0V ac for 5 seconds. The DRB series is available with 4 output power levels ranging from 15-100 W and nominal output voltages of 5 V, 12-15 V, 24-28 V or 48 V dc.
The supplies can operate at full load over a wide temperature range of -10 to +55 C (+70 C for 15 W model). Typical ripple and noise is below 40mV and a green LED indicates dc OK. Other features include over-current, over-voltage protection and a hold-up time of up to 20ms at 100 V ac input voltage, full load.
