The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently proposed new rules for accounting for financial instruments, prompting almost immediate scrutiny from the banking industry. Bankers are raising questions about the logic of the proposals, particularly a requirement to mark-to-market value plain-vanilla loans held for collection. Industry insiders say that the unintended consequences of the measures include increasing procyclicality in the system.

Palestine to Issue Official IDs as Sovereign State
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has ordered identification documents issued by the Palestinian Authority to be labeled as coming from the State of Palestine.
This comes in the wake of the UN's General Assembly granting Palestine the status of a non-member observer state end of 2013.
According to Abbas, the new move will help strengthen and consolidate the Palestinian state, as well as its sovereignty over its territory.
The Palestinian president has already ordered the Foreign Affairs Ministry and diplomatic missions to issue documents labeled "State of Palestine."
Israel, which was critical towards the UN's granting the status of a state to Palestine, has not yet commented on the development.

FDA MDDS Webinar
As the FDA grinds through the comments submitted in response to their proposed rule for medical device data systems (MDDS), the market awaits the final rule. Regardless of changes between the proposed and final rules, vendors who may be regulated under the new rule will have limited time to prepare.
Awhile back, I was contacted by ComplianceOnline to author a webinar on the FDA's proposed MDDS rule. After some discussion, we agreed on the following pithy title: The FDA's proposed Medical Device Data System (MDDS) rule and its implications for currently regulated and unregulated vendors and providers. The key objectives for the webinar are to provide clairification on the proposed rule and explore the consequences for those involved with MDDS – vendors and hospitals.
You can read a description and register for the webinar here. Attendees are encourage to submit questions – which I will answer during and after the webinar.
Alas, the webinar is not free. But compared to what it would cost in my time to lay out the proposed MDDS rule and its implications in detail, the price is a bargin.
If you have any questions about the webinar or MDDS, feel free to contact me (scroll down to the bottom of the page). You can also leave questions on the web page promoting the webinar.Read More
What's Wrong with the Proposed FDA MDDS Rule
The FDA has proposed to reclassify Medical Device Data Systems (MDDS) from a default class III to class I. (You can read the proposed rule here, and the public comments here.) This is based on the belief that "risks to health from this device would be caused by inadequate software quality. Specifically, the risk to health would be that incorrect medical device data is stored, retrieved, transferred, exchanged, or displayed, resulting in incorrect treatment or diagnosis of the patient." In my opinion, this is insufficient. Consideration must also be given to the risk of interactions between MDDS and devices.
Until now MDDS has not been a term that was widely used in the medical device or health care information industries. The FDA has proposed a definition that can be summarized as "a device that provides one or more of the following uses: electronic transfer, exchange, storage, retrieval, display or conversion of medical device data without altering the function or parameters of any connected device" (emphasis mine).
First, it is important to point out that even though MDDS' currently default to class III, the FDA has been operating under their discretionary enforcement policy and has not been enforcing the class III requirements for MDDS. Products that currently meet the MDDS definition have in effect been operating without classification or enforcement; thus the reason for the proposed re-classification. In principle, I agree with the FDA that these types of devices should be regulated, but the question I pose is "why go from class III to class I?" Shouldn't the classification for MDDS' be class II?Read More
FDA Issues New Draft MDDS Rule
UPDATE: This post discusses the proposed MDDS rule that came out in 2008. If you're looking for the final MDDS rule that came out in early 2011, look here.
On February 8, 2008 the FDA published a proposed new rule for public comment (pdf version). The new rule provides some definitions of connectivity software and proposes to reclassify some types of connectivity software. The rationale for the proposed rule is as follows:
Since 1989, the use of computer-based products and software-based products as medical devices has grown exponentially. In addition, device interconnectivity and complexity have grown in ways that could not have been predicted in 1989. This growth and expansion have created new considerations for elements of risk that did not previously exist.
Up to this point the FDA has relied on their "Draft Software Policy" published in 1989 (link – pdf). This software policy recognized that software could (and did) meet the definition of a medical device and extended the FDA's purview from conventional devices to software. This was not a bureaucratic land grab, but a recognition that the legal definition of a medical device could and had been met by software.
What is an MDDS? From the proposed rule (emphasis mine):Read More
Messaging Middleware Growth Strategies
Developing and launching a competitive product, and getting initial traction in the market are not inconsiderable milestones. And yet for the entrepreneur and their investors, this is just the beginning. What was record setting last quarter is barely acceptable this quarter, and next quarter had better be back on track.
Developing a solid plan for growth depends on two things: a good understanding of the basic means to drive growth, and a deep understanding of the market. This post seeks to combine both of these in a brief survey of the key factors to drive messaging middleware revenue growth in health care. We're going to consider three basic growth strategies: organic growth, product line extension, and the roll-up strategy.Read More
Interview with Todd Dunsirn, CEO, True Process
A while back I had the opportunity to chat with Todd Dunsirn, the CEO of True Process. True Process provides products and services to both hospitals and various manufacturers. The company is focused on the point of care market offering a medication administration solution and a medical device data system.
What was the genesis for starting True Process?
I started the company in 2004. I have an engineering background, and had several other companies doing IT consulting and then web development, and application development. Then I had a friend contact me to develop a bar-code point-of-care simulation so that sales reps that were selling infusion pumps could demonstrate the five rights process with the pump. So, of course he said, "Hey can you do this? It's gotta be done in three months." And keep in mind, I had never heard of bar-code point-of-care [chuckle] prior to this, so I'd really never thought about infusion pumps.Read More

Steve Lewis/Durango Herald
A Harley-Davidson came to rest in the middle of the road Thursday afternoon after colliding with a Ford pickup near County Road 225A and U.S. Highway 160 east of Elmore's Corner. Both the driver of the motorcycle, a 70-year-old man from Missouri, and the driver of the pickup, an 80-year-old man from Durango, were taken to Mercy Regional Medical Center with serious injuries, said Trooper Uriah Talbot with the Colorado State Patrol. The extent of their injuries were not immediately available.

The arc of history bends toward love
Over my six decades, I have known many closeted gay coworkers and classmates who have tried to fit in or please families by attempting a "straight marriage." Those marriages often failed, leaving broken homes and despondent children. To withstand all of life's hardships and crises, a marriage needs to be grounded in true love, not resignation. By allowing LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) people to select rather than settle, marriage equality helps create families that can better stay together, and protects children by giving them better access to health care, visitation, income security, and inheritance.

The blouse pattern is made from Burda Style 124 from April 2007.
Wow, that reminds me of my how long I have been subscribing to Burda!
The pattern has a long front tie you can wear as a bow or left to hang freely. The sleeves are slightly gathered at the top and have a band at the bottom giving the blouse a youthful look. I used a light guaze material – a first for me. The pattern was easy but working with the material was a bit tricky.

This blouse is gorgeous. I have had this blouse marked for all these years too and yours looks so lovely on that I will have to get it out and make it. Thank- you for sharing as it is always so good to see a home dressmaker sew a blouse worn by a model in a magazine, in real life. PS: I have been subscribing to Burda since 1974 when my sewing teacher at high school, taught me how to make a pattern from those big pattern sheets. Best ever lesson I had at school!

I bet it must be quite entertaining to look at the style changes through all those years of Burda!
Thanks so much for commenting on my blouse.

Walt Disney, Michael Jordan and Jesus Christ are but a few of the historical icons to whom rapper Kanye West has compared himself. Now, the outspoken artist has taken things a step further, measuring his public prominence against the president of the United States.
West stopped by "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" Tuesday with a stunning case on the syndicated radio program for why he and fiancée Kim Kardashian are more influential than the first couple.
During the interview, West was frank in his assessment of his influence on popular culture. "People get really hung up in the way I word things, but I'm the best," he told Seacrest. "That's the bottom line."
Kanye West Opens Up About Kim Kardashian Proposal, Possible 'Fighter Jets' at Wedding
Despite the self-confidence, the 36-year-old rapper expressed frustration with being held back by "classism." Such bias is not only stalling his career, he said, but is holding back his fiancée, reality star Kim Kardashian.
"Now for me, what I want to create isn't about black and white, but the reason why I'm not able to create what I want to create is about being black and is about classism," he explained. "And that's that wall when I took my girl to the Met Ball and they put it up on Vogue.com and tried to say she wasn't there because they didn't want a reality show girl there.
"It's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue," West continued. "She's like the most intriguing woman right now. Barbara Walters is calling every day. Of course, we're the most interesting and collectively we're the most influential, especially in clothing."
See: Kim Kardashian Through the Years
With a steady stream of superlatives, West makes his point clear: He believes he and Kardashian are tops, better even than the first couple of the United States.
"No one is looking at what [President] Obama is wearing," he said. "Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."
West was referring to the revealing swimsuit selfie that Kardashian, 33, posted to Instagram Oct. 17. Following a flattering comparison to the first lady, West went on to praise his "girl" for being "one of the most beautiful people of all time."
President Obama has recognized West as smart and "very talented," despite calling his fellow Chicagoan a "jackass" for interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at an awards ceremony in 2009.
West, although frustrated with his perceived inability to follow through with some of his goals, appeared hopeful for the future in the radio interview Tuesday, saying, "There's a wall of classism that we are breaking through because we will be the most influential in clothing because it's true to us."

Lindsay Lohan is focused on her career now that she's off probation and to make sure nothing gets in the way of her upcoming roles, she has sworn off dating for the time being ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to LiLo tell TMZ she wants to avoid any relationships or emotional attachments as she gets ready to shoot her Liz Taylor movie for Lifetime. Our sources say Lindsay wants to devote all her spare time to reading the script and getting Liz's persona down pat ... rather than focus on a new relationship.
We're told Lindsay has had her fair share of intense relationships (ya think!?!?) and she doesn't want anything to derail her comeback.
Sorry, boys.
Green L and julia are keeping it real up in here!!!!! In the mean time, I GOTTI ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One last thing, H8turds, Open your mouths and say AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotti surprise for you!
Hey RW, why don't you go over to the Lisa Robin Kelly thread and post about how totally fine and hot she is again? LMAO
I realize the phrase "bar fly" is like an aphrodisiac to you, but cracked-out meth-head must be your f*ckin' Viagra!
Time to raise the bar, kid.
Tweets about DUIna are always good for a laugh:
@LILOFANFICTION 'Big smiles!' Dina screams at Ali and Cody, before cartwheeling into the Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Season 3 auditions
"Open your mouths and say AWE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotti surprise for you!" is what RW says to his men after he slams them through the headboard.
And, despite Lindsay saying it's a done deal, Lohan's publicist Steve Honig tells RadarOnline.com that she still hasn't officially signed on to be part of the upcoming John Gotti biopic.
"Hopefully Lindsay will be signed on very soon," Honig says.
September 2011
The only reason Lindsay's relationships might factor into her failed career is because she has a habit of dating her dealers, or dating people that can score her dope consistently and easily. So it still all boils down to drugs, anyway. TMZ, you really f*cking fail lately.
Well, looks like Mikey is going have to trot out another tidbit cause this one is dead and barely made 215 so far when it use to be over 500 by this time.... Think your little rose bud has died on the vine sweetie time for the pruning shears.....
Ther is NO move titled "Liz and **** a Love Story " unless Lohan Inc has gotten their hands on the script and are producing it themselves ...
Somebody sing us a hymn so we can get this stinky thing in the ground and covered with 6 ft of dirt....LOL
This is funny!
Sworn off dating? Not her drugs and drinking, not her drinking and drugs. Dating. Lohan still thinks she will be taken be taking seriously. NO.
You know what would be great? If Lindsay swore off having to be in the tabloids everyday. You know the old saying. We can't miss you if you never go away!
Only 200 comments cause the H8tears done gotti schooled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I turned over a new leaf, but I turned it over again. Since Spring is coming, I'm sure the Htears are busy waxing their mObIle HoMes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ugh, story is a bore and I have homework....(-;
TMZ is going 'delete' happy again. Can they just erase the whole damn thread?
Lindsay Lohan: No love for LiLo -- or her lawyer

Turandot in San Francisco
The magnificent David Hockney Turandot production burst again onto the War Memorial stage with a new cast and conductor that recaptured its potential to make this fairytale into great opera.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
Although performances of Richard Strauss's last opera Capriccio have increased in recent time, Lyric Opera of Chicago has not experienced the "Konversationsstück für Musik" during the past twenty odd years.
The former lyric soprano holds up well — and survives the intrusive close-up camerawork of the 'Live in HD' transmission
Houston Grand Opera commissioned Cruzar la Cara de la Luna from composer José "Pepe" Martínez, music director of Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán, who wrote the text together with Broadway and opera director Leonard Foglia. The work had its world premier in 2010. Since then, it has traveled to several cities including Paris, Chicago, and San Diego.
"Why should I go to hear Plácido Domingo" someone said when Verdi's I due Foscari was announced by the Royal Opera House. There are very good reasons for doing so.
Music Theatre Wales presented the world premiere of Philip Glass's The Trial (Kafka) last night at the Linbury, Royal Opera House. Music Theatre Wales started doing Glass in 1989. Their production of Glass's In the Penal Colony in 2010 was such a success that Glass conceived The Trial specially for the company.
To say that the English Concert's performance of Handel's Alcina at the Barbican on 10 October 2014 was hotly anticipated would be an understatement. Sold out for weeks, the performance capitalised on the draw of its two principals Joyce DiDonato and Alice Coote and generated the sort of buzz which the work did at its premiere.
Lyric Opera of Chicago opened its sixtieth anniversary season with a new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni directed by Artistic Director of the Goodman Theater, Robert Falls.
It was a little over two years ago that I heard Sir Colin Davis conduct the Berlioz Requiem in St Paul's Cathedral; it was the last time I heard — or indeed saw — him conduct his beloved and loving London Symphony Orchestra.
Part of their Liberty or Death season along with Rossini's Mose in Egitto and Bizet's Carmen, Welsh National Opera performed David Pountney's new production of Rossini's Guillaume Tell (seen 4 October 2014).
Welsh National Opera's production of Rossini's Mose in Egitto was the second of two Rossini operas (the other is Guillaume Tell) performed in tandem for their autumn tour.
In Monteverdi's first Venetian opera, Il Ritorno d'Ulisse (1641), Penelope's patient devotion as she waits for the return of her beloved Ulysses culminates in the triumph of love and faithfulness; in contrast, in L'incoronazione di Poppea it is the eponymous Queen's lust, passion and ambition that prevail.
After the triumphs of love, the surprises: Les Paladins, under their director Jérôme Correas, and soprano Sandrine Piau are following their tour of material from their 2011 CD, 'Le Triomphe de L'amour', with a new amatory arrangement.
At the ENO, Puccini's La fanciulla del West becomes The Girl of the Golden West. Hearing this opera in English instead of Italian has its advantages, While we can still hear the exotic, Italianate Madama Butterfly fantasies in the orchestra, in English, we're closer to the original pot-boiler melodrama. Madama Biutterfly is premier cru: The Girl of the Golden West veers closer, at times, to hokum. The new ENO production gets round the implausibility of the plot by engaging with its natural innocence.
Presenting a well-structured and characterful programme, Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci demonstrated her prowess in both soprano and mezzo repertoire in this Wigmore Hall recital, performing European works from the early years of the twentieth century. Assuredly accompanied by her regular pianist Donald Sulzen, Antonacci was self-composed and calm of manner, but also evinced a warmly engaging stage presence throughout.
Bold, bright and brash, Moshe Leiser and Patrice Caurier's Il barbiere di Siviglia tells its story clearly in complementary primary colours.
Bampton Classical Opera's 2014 double bill neatly balanced drollery and gravity. Rectifying the apparent prevailing indifference to the 300th centenary of Christoph Willibald Gluck birth, Bampton offered a sharp, witty production of the composer's Il Parnaso confuso, pairing this 'festa teatrale' with Ferdinando Bertoni's more sombre Orfeo.
Harry Christophers and The Sixteen Choir and Orchestra launched the Wigmore Hall's two-year series, 'Purcell: A Retrospective', in splendid style. Flexibility, buoyancy and transparency were the watchwords.
It would be unfair, but one could summarise this concert with the words, 'Senator, you're no Leonard Bernstein.'
The magnificent David Hockney Turandot production burst again onto the War Memorial stage with a new cast and conductor that recaptured its potential to make this fairytale into great opera.
Well, almost a new cast. The slave girl Liu of Leah Crocetto was a hold over from the October cast though her performance in these new circumstances seemed more vibrant and vivid. No longer dwarfed by larger than life colleagues, it was far bigger than before and this time it truly mesmerized the opera house — her prayer and supplication, then her suicide came in limpid pianissimi, in rich forti, the youth and freshness of her voice embodied the purity and innocence of maidenhood.
Susan Foster was both the new Turandot and a new Turandot — not the icy, unattainable princess but the vulnerable, neurotic maiden, a Turandot very rarely revealed. Now she was a human scaled, twisted rival of the pure and gentle Liu. To be sure Mme. Foster could not be the icy Turandot if she wanted to. She does not possess the steely, dramatic voice nor the mythic persona to engage in a shouting match with her suitor Calaf. But she does have an engaging dramatic voice with volume aplenty when she needs it, and a personal softness that shone beautifully in her touching revelation that Calaf's name was in fact "love."
Walter Fraccaro as Calaf and Susan Foster as Turandot
Calaf too, tenor Walter Fraccaro, had a softness and vulnerability that brought a very human dimension to his "Nessun dorma" that beguiled the opera house with its intimacy and earned him one of its all time biggest ovations. His Calaf was a young warrior who was perhaps as neurotic as Turandot, both of them equating love, or let us just say sex — there is that kiss — with death. Mr. Fraccaro did have the heft and volume in secure, supple voice to assault Turandot in his second act answers to her riddles.
Bass Christian Van Horn brought physical stature (he's tall) and volume to Timur, confidently anchoring the narrative relationships of the opera's' protagonists. The Hockney production does not offer this personage opportunity to expand emotionally.
San Francisco Opera Resident Conductor Giuseppi Finzi allowed Puccini's score to rise naturally from the pit, with tempos that encouraged its huge sonic scope to saturate the War Memorial Opera house. It is a great big opera that gives the San Francisco Opera chorus and orchestra opportunity to strut their stuff as two of the world's fine ensembles.
The musical flow revealed this young conductor's understanding of Puccini's story. He did not sacrifice this newly discovered delicate humanity to dramatic and musical effect — this score's fatal temptation. But what the young maestro could not do was drive the Alfano duet that ends the opera to the musical coherency that his predecessor Nicola Luisotti miraculously achieved, nor bring point and edge to the machinations of Ping, Pang and Pong.
Walter Fraccaro as Calaf, Leah Crocetto as Liù and Christian Van Horn as Timur
The Hockney production is saturated with Chinese reds and fantastical shapes that evoke much more than illustrate a sense of Oriental splendor. Hockney thinks two dimensionally, i.e. the proscenium opening is a canvas, thus we are presented with a succession of paintings. This places his characters on the canvas, or rather it freezes them onto the canvas. There is little movement, and virtually no dramatic reality, i.e. characters do not speak to each other — conversations are a visual, public presentation. Puccini's Turandot offered this formidable visual artist unique opportunity to create a masterpiece.

CAMP - Cloud Application Management for Platforms
CAMP, short for Cloud Application Management for Platforms, is a specification designed to ease management of applications -- including packaging and deployment -- across public and private cloud computing platforms.
According to the technology vendors behind the CAMP specification, which includes CloudBees, Cloudsoft Corporation, Huawei, Oracle, Rackspace, Red Hat and Software AG, CAMP is intended to provide a common basis for developing multi-cloud management tools as well as a REST-based approach to application management.
The CAMP specification provides a common development API that can work across multiple clouds without excessive adaptation and is compatible with PaaS-aware (Platform as a Service) and PaaS-unaware application development environments, both offline and in the cloud.
CAMP will be submitted to the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) for development of an industry standard.

Windows 8 is Next "Big Target" Says McAfee
Malware writers are expected to use NFC technology to spread worms across tablets and smartphones.
Security firm McAfee released its threat predictions report for 2013 (pdf), claiming that Windows 8 will be the next big target because "criminals go where the money goes", and that consumers will likely (eventually) upgrade to the latest version. Still, Windows 8 should provide improved security against malware and exploits compared with earlier versions of Windows... at least for a while, the company said.
"Now that the underground market for attack and malware kits is much more competitive than three years ago, it is likely that Windows 8–specific malware will be available quicker than Windows 7–specific malware appeared," McAfee said. "Systems running the new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface are still vulnerable to MBR-based rootkits, just as previous OS versions were, according to one research company."
Despite any flaws, Windows 8 is a more secure platform, McAfee said, and that upgrading is definitely worth considering.
The company also revealed its five main predictions of 2013, reporting that (1) ransomware will resurge and take on mobile devices; (2) mobile malware will go on a shopping spree; (3) mobile "tap and pay" worms will "bump and infect"; (4) botnets will phone hone; and (5) online marketplaces will offer a single "click" to hack services.
For option three, the "tap and pay" worm, this will be accomplished through devices with near-field communication (NFC) technology. Malware writers are expected to create mobile worms with NFC capabilities that can spread using that "bump and infect" method, as well as steal money from victims' accounts.
As for the botnets phoning home, McAfee said that in 2013, "botmasters" will retaliate against the crackdown on botnets and protect their income by implementing fail-safes that will allow them to regain control of a botnet after it has been taken down. Another avenue of revenue for malware writers will be through apps that will exploit vulnerabilities in mobile phones and secretly purchase additional apps written by the malware authors, dumping money into their pockets.
"While we don't know for sure whether these particular attacks will thrive in the year ahead, we do know that there are a large variety of threats that can put your devices and information at risk, so it's best to take proactive measures to protect yourself."
McAfee offers four security resolutions for 2013 which can be fully read here including installing security software on ALL devices, strengthening and changing passwords, and more.

No way! Really? I could've sworn all malware/virus/trojans/etc we're just gonna stay on windows 7. You mean to tell me people are going to infect windows 8 too?! Never saw it coming...
McAfee is so bad it should get arrested. Wait! it did !
Thanks for that, I couldn't figure out the obvious for myself...

8SteelCity1981 , January 6, 2013 12:56 PMyes because at 1.77% market share it's sure to be the next big thing. lol Hackers go where the popularity is and Windows 7 is highly popular gainging even more market share this past month to 45.1% so this is where the hackers will be focusing on, esp when corperations just upgraded to windows 7 recently.
8killerclick , January 6, 2013 1:04 PMThe Windows 8 specific vulnerabilities (the Metro part) would affect less than 2% of PC users. They're safe in their niche for the time being.
3Anonymous , January 6, 2013 1:16 PMThis is good it will take some attention away from 7 which I am keeping. Not interested at all in 8.
10jojesa , January 6, 2013 1:32 PMWow! McAfee just figured that out. Now I see why they can't figure out how to build a decent Antivirus.
0Cryio , January 6, 2013 1:41 PMIf you are at least half-documented, you don't even need an antivirus on you PC.
With Windows 8 being as secure as it is, I don't even think about the possibility.
Talking about phones....well, here there are worries.
6Anonymous , January 6, 2013 2:03 PMHahaha, McAfee, I remove it from every PC I come across with it on and replace it with a real Anti-Virus program!
6A Bad Day , January 6, 2013 2:14 PMYou don't say, McAfee...

A few months ago, my school's website was hacked and a couple of java exploits were loaded into it.
Trusted websites can be hacked, including this one.
3daglesj , January 6, 2013 2:30 PMWhat Microsoft needs to do is actually turn ON all the security 7 and 8 has by default rather than leaving it all switched off in case it stops someone running a piece of software written in 1998.
It should make DEP/ASLR/SEHOP etc. all ON by default. Plus make the real divide between an Admin and standard user account rather than Admin as default. UAC helps but folks either ignore it or turn it off.
The security is all there, it's just MS is too pussy to use it. It's odd that they will push folks to learn a new UI but are terrified to annoy a user if a years old shareware app won't work anymore.
I keep trying to push the following for folks to try -
At least this switches some of the protection back on.
2fearless1333 , January 6, 2013 2:44 PMWell Windows 8 market share is at a diminutive 1.77% (by contrast, Mac OS X has about 5% market share and hackers already don't bother with it due to low market share), but hackers will still probably create viruses for it because it is on both mobile systems and computers. Plus, Windows 8 is still a Windows OS. Obviously it will be much easier to create viruses for it as the coding languages are the same and any unpatched security vulnerability will still work.
-2JohnUSA , January 6, 2013 2:49 PMWindows 8 is a horrible , bad, irritating and piece of garbage OS that it really deserves to die.
3somebodyspecial , January 6, 2013 3:39 PMIt will be a while before anyone even cares about win8 (1.77 share) and they may never care. You won't be doing much damage trying to get 1.77% of the pc's out there. This is just the usual fear mongering by an AV company.
ALWAYS check a site at scamadvisor.com first if it's not a WELL known company or you have doubts...LOL. I had doubts about YOUR safety the second I saw the funky domain. A real company doesn't have dashes etc in their names that many times usually, more like antivirusreviews.net not how he put it, his way REEKS of a company that can't afford the one you can easily get to, or is just a scam site - though not a guarantee here, it's just REAL common sense to suspect domains like his. 30day old domain? Nice try. I wouldn't have went there for a review anyway but wanted to check for other's safety.
[Alert Result] The owner of the website is using a service to hide their identity
[Alert Result] This website is 30 Days old
[Alert Result] The website expected life (365 days) is relatively short.
[Alert Result] The website appears to be less than six months old
There are other sites you can check this stuff on but this one is great for anything. There's more detail on there about this JHANCOCK3's site link. I just didn't paste it here. RUN from his site...LOL. Best to go to a PCmag.com or cnet.com type site (whatever your country's equivalent PC magazine is) and READ about AV apps and see where they say X app passed (they usually mention a lab testing site that got similar results to their own review. Then check to see if they score well at the people who ACTUALLY test these things in LABS for real (and that's pretty much all they do) as in how effective is X brand?
av-test.org (german I think if memory serves 13yr old)
virusbtn.com (vb100 awards, Brits 18yr old domain) as an example check out these two ages...
http://www.av-comparatives.org (pcmag.com points to them in recent reviews, Australian lab)
etc etc...Usually AV reviews on PROMINENT websites (like cnet.com etc) tell who X product passes and you can go read the FULL report from that lab on who won what tests etc.
LEARN HOW TO SURF SAFELY! Trust NOBODY. Not even me Go to well known sites and find out where they tell you to read results etc for this kind of crap (like the pcmag sites etc). Best to avoid sites with SHORT domain times. You can WHOIS a domain also before going there etc. Many ways to find out info about a site before you do the damage to yourself for being ignorant (note I didn't say stupid, ignorant and stupid are two different things). You're stupid if you ignore my warnings. Ignorant if you just didn't know these sites above existed
If you want to read about hardware etc, you come to a tomshardware.com or anandtech.com (check scamadvisor on them, years old etc). Not "i-do-hardware-reviews.ru" or some such crap. Wise up people. Happy surfing. Oh and yes, win8 sucks Nobody cares...Move along...LOL
PS...Can we get this jhancock3 banned along with his IP? Just a thought (though so easy to hide with TOR etc).
-4kellybean , January 6, 2013 3:42 PMWindows has always been a Swiss Cheese platform and 8 is no different.
0somebodyspecial , January 6, 2013 3:43 PMOne more comment, check a users profile before heading off to some site also. It won't tell you everything (as some of us lose them over time, my own handle for instance, stuck in space, and really wanted nobody special...LOL) but this dude has ONE POST, that's it.
So check a user...Still looks bad? Check a site like scamadvisor...That will probably end your thoughts and stop you from going to some guys link (I'd stop at his 1 post...ROFL). No need to go to anti-virus-reviews.net. DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!. I sincerely hope none of you just got scammed by whatever is at this site
-3infernocy , January 6, 2013 3:57 PMi install windows 8 on virtual machine and i can say its beyond terrible -- i bet my next os will either be ubundu or debian
0COLGeek , January 6, 2013 4:14 PMDuh, you think so McAfee? Seems a blinding flash of the obvious as OSes evolve. Seriously.
3LEXX911 , January 6, 2013 4:19 PMI wouldn't be surprised if the anti-virus makers out there are the one releasing some of the viruses themselves.

Buchholz to make his 2009 debut
Updated: July 16, 2009, 5:31 PM ETBy Adam Madison | Special to ESPN.com
Friday will mark the long-awaited season debut of Clay Buchholz, but there's no chance he'll pitch his way into Boston's big league rotation. He'll be sent down to the minors after the game and will start only to give an extra day of rest to Josh Beckett and Tim Wakefield, who represented the Red Sox in the All-Star Game. Buchholz has been dominant in the minors this season, but he has yet to translate that into sustained performance at the major league level, and a quality start against the Blue ...

regulated in this context means...
supplied or equipped. The idea behind a militia is men of military age were obligated to serve to defend the state in cases of emergency. They were to keep military weapons and know how to use them when called. This is the only meaning I can see that makes sense in this sentence. Keeping and bearing arms on an individual basis does not lend to discipline, nor does it lend itself to control through government regulation, but it does save the state the expense of supplying the weapon while providing a member of the militia an opportunity to become proficient in its use. It also keeps the state free because the power of the gun remains with the people and not in the hands of the government or a professional military.
I live in Kansas. Up until I became too old, according to the Kansas Constitution, I was a member of the Kansas state militia - which included all able-bodied males within a defined age range. I don't believe I was required to keep or practice with a military grade weapon, however.
The Kansas state Supreme Court at some point ruled the right to keep and bear arms listed in the Kansas Constitution was a "collective" right, which means it was no right at all. So, Kansans voted to change the Kansas Constitution a few years ago to make it unambiguously an individual right.
[F]orce can only settle questions of power, not of right. - Clyde N. Wilson

Indonesian volcano erupts, spewing rock and lava
Mount Lokon is one of the most active volcanoes in all of Indonesia.
Thu, Jul 14, 2011 at 11:12 PM
KINILOW, Indonesia — An Indonesian volcano has erupted, spewing rocks, lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air, an official said Friday, just days after its alert status was raised to the highest level.
There has been a significant rise in volcanic activity at Mount Lokon on Sulawesi island since June 9, prompting more than 4,400 people to flee.
"There was a big eruption around 10:31pm local time, which saw ash, sand and rocks thrown 1,500 meters (4,800 feet) into the air," government volcanologist Kristianto told AFP.
Grass and shrubs in an area stretching 500 meters around the volcano were on fire but there was no immediate danger to people living nearby, he said.
The volcano's status was raised to its highest red alert level after it spewed ash 500 meters into the air over the weekend, leading to a 3.5-kilometer (two-mile) evacuation zone being established in case of a bigger eruption.
"There is no mass panic because the community has already been warned of the situation and we are continuing to evacuate people," added Kristianto, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.
Around 28,000 people live within the evacuation zone.
North Sulawesi disaster management head Hoykee Makarawung said more than 4,400 people have been evacuated so far.
"Thank God, the condition has eased off since last night. The fire around the area has also vanished by itself," Makarawung said.
"Earlier today the volcano also erupted but it was not as great as last night," he said.
The 1,580-meter Mount Lokon is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. It erupted in 1991, killing a Swiss tourist.
The Indonesian archipelago has dozens of active volcanoes and straddles major tectonic fault lines known as the "Ring of Fire" between the Pacific and Indian oceans.
The country's most active volcano, Mount Merapi in central Java, has killed more than 350 people in a series of violent eruptions that started in late October.
