A quarter century of Windows
Summary: Love it or loathe it, Windows is 25 years old today. We present some facts, figures and images from the Windows archives.
5 of 5Image
Windows system requirements
Today's desktop computer is a far cry from that of five years ago, let alone a quarter of a century past. Each new version of Windows adds new functionality while having to support a multitude of legacy features, so it's no surprise to find that the minimum requirements for running the OS have escalated over the years. Even so, it's interesting to chart the minimum recommendations for processor speed, memory (RAM) and free hard disk space since 1995.
The unlabelled data points, reading from the left, are for Windows NT 3.51, Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98 and Windows ME.
Windows development
Each successive version of Windows consumes ever more of Microsoft's programming and testing resources, and spews out millions more lines of code. These charts show how the development process unfolded between Windows NT 3.1 in July 1993 and Windows Server 2003 in April 2003 (data from knowing.net ). Like Server 2003, Windows Vista is reckoned to contain 50 million source lines of code; no estimate is available for Windows 7.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock! Time is running out for Ghada Abdel Razek!
Ghada is rushing to film the rest of her scenes in time for Ramadan. (Image: Facebook)

Ghada Abdel Razek better hurry up if she wants to get her TV drama "Al Sayyidah Al Ula" (The First Lady) out in time for Ramdan!
The Egyptian actress is seriously running out of time as Ramadan is quickly approaching and she still hasn't completed 70% of her scenes.
Ghada is said to be in a state of panic, according to Elaph news, and so is the drama's director Mohammad Bakeer, who's hired a second film crew to film all the secondary characters' scenes - not including the main characters - on time.
The drama is to air exclusively on the Egyptian satellite channel CBC, which is now less than a month away. The network has already started its heavy advertising campaign for the drama.

I've gone to a lot of book signings at Anderson's and also went to RT in Chicago, where I got the Vampire Academy poster signed by Richelle Mead.

The Rocky Horror Show is a sexy, saucy, tongue-in-cheek musical that is truly iconic with its irresistible hum-along score and cast of quirky characters. It tells the story of a newly engaged couple, Brad and Janet, getting caught in a storm and seeking refuge at the home of a madcap transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who unveils his latest creation - a muscle man named Rocky Horror. Outrageous when it first burst onto the London scene forty years ago The Rocky Horror Show retains its power to thrill, entertain and provoke audiences around the world.

Dear Nmap-Dev-Team,
I really love your little but powerful tool.
Unfortunately I can not change the language in Nmap to English. I am
using Nmap 6.00 (32bit installer) with Win7 SP1 (64bit) (German
The user guide <http://nmap.org/book/zenmap-lang.html> states that I
must change a Windows Environment Variable named LANG to "en" or
"en_US". I did create this new variable. The effect is not visible in
Nmap. The GUI is still in German. Thus the GUIs of other tools like
VLC player and VirtualBox are now in English.
There is a similar bug in your dev database
<http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2009/q4/731>. This bug seemed fixed in
r16368 but now seems unresolved.
I'm guessing that the change in r16368 never really worked. I suppose
that setting LANG=en_US doesn't work, because we don't have en
translation files. Then the system looks next at the global locale, and
picks German.
A workaround is to rename the directory
C:\Program Files\Nmap\share\zenmap\locale\de.
One other thing to try is to set LANG=C. That might work, even if
LANG=en does not.

Snowdrops: A Novelby A.D. Miller
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An intense psychological drama that echoes sophisticated entertainments like Gorky Park and The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Nick Platt is a British lawyer working in Moscow in the early 2000s—a place where the cascade of oil money, the tightening grip of the government, the jostling of the oligarchs, and the loosening of Soviet social mores have led to a culture where corruption, decadence, violence, and betrayal define everyday life. Nick doesn't ask too many questions about the shady deals he works on—he's too busy enjoying the exotic, surreally sinful nightlife Moscow has to offer.
One day in the subway, he rescues two willowy sisters, Masha and Katya, from a would-be purse snatcher. Soon Nick, the seductive Masha, and long-limbed Katya are cruising the seamy glamour spots of the city. Nick begins to feel something for Masha that he is pleased to think is love. Then the sisters ask Nick to help their aged aunt, Tatiana, find a new apartment.
Of course, nothing is as it seems—including this extraordinary debut novel. The twists in the story take it far beyond its noirish frame—the sordid and vivid portrayal of Moscow serves as a backdrop for a book that examines the irresistible allure of sin, featuring characters whose hearts are as cold as the Russian winter.
Witnessing the progression of regional corruption in his work as a British lawyer in early 2000s Moscow, Nick Platt rescues two sisters from a purse snatcher and pursues a glamorous romantic relationship with one of the sisters before he is asked to help with a dubious family endeavor. A first novel.

PLYMOUTH — Updated wiring for the elevators and new automatic doors may be in store for the Marshall County Building, if the funds needed are approved.
During the county council meeting Monday, Rich Ulrich, maintenance director, brought up the need for the two elevators in the county building to be updated.
It was a fitting time to discuss the problem, since one of the elevators was again out of commission — blocked off by caution tape and a trash can.
"As we sit here, that elevator is out of service for the 28th time in the last 10 weeks," said Ulrich.

The Lancers (2-6) surrendered 26 turnovers to Bethany's 15, and the Bruins (4-7) capitalized with 15 points off those miscues — most of which were unforced — to suffer their second straight loss after a Northern State Conference setback at New Prairie Friday.
LAKEVILLE — Grace's baseball program has signed LaVille High School's Quentin Herbster for the 2012-13 season.
Grace recruited Herbster as a versatile player with the ability to contribute as an infielder and an outfielder. As a junior, he was named First Team All-Northern State Conference for an outstanding season.
"I felt like Grace was where I could grow as a baseball player and could further myself spiritually," Herbster said. "I'm excited to make an impact right away and work towards possibly a master's degree at Grace."

Charlie Trotter Auctioning Off All Restaurant Memorabilia
He's not just letting the wine cellar go; framed menus, artwork, and dinnerware are all on the auction block
Today on The Daily Meal
City Guides
Most Popular
Looks like Charlie Trotter is getting rid of more than just his wine collection; Grub Street reports that the Chicago legend will be auctioning off everything from his restaurant, dashing hopes that Charlie Trotter's will be revived after Trotter finished up grad school.
Currently, the preview of the auction lists Trotter's china, Riedel glassware, flatware, and more, most of them one-of-a-kind designs for Trotter's.
As Grub Street notes, sentimental items are also for sale, including a signed bottle of Schramsberg from Trotter's 20th anniversary, as well as a Girardet menu, where Trotter started his career.
The restaurant's artwork is also up for grabs; photography, modern contemporary art, and framed menus from Paul Bocuse, Elan Ducasse, and Marc Veyrat are listed on the auction catalogue, from Auction Consultant/Bunte Auction Service. A full catalogue is coming soon, but for now, preview some of the items here. The auction will take place on Dec. 12 and shoppers can place bids through bidspotter.com. Let's just hope the items don't disappear like his wine did.

Basically my thoughts on SJWs.
Y'all wanna know why I'm critical of SJWs, it's because I've been on the receiving end of these tactics and I was straight-up being emotionally manipulated and bullied.
I have seen somebody go through this and alienate everybody they know.
It is pretty terrifying.
I don't have a problem with fighting for what I believe in. I am a feminist, I am a lesbian, and I have a lot to fight for.
But this is different. This is not fighting for you believe in. It's attacking people and it's a self-destructive cycle you live in. It's frightening. I've watched it. I still watch it, on occasion.
So this kinda speaks to me about SJWs, for the most part.
It's like I said a while back: no solidarity for victims whose only coping mechanism is to make more victims. None. Zilch.
This this this this this THIS THIS.
Please please please take a minute to read this
This says everything I want to say right now, for the most part.

"To make a fighter you got to strip 'em down to bare wood: you can't just tell 'em to "forget everything you know". You got to make 'em forget it in their bones… make 'em so tired they only listen to you, only hear your voice, only do what you say and nothing else… show 'em how to keep their balance and take it away from the other guy… how to generate momentum off your right toe and how to flex your knees when you fire a jab. How to fight backing up, so that the other guy doesn't want to come after you. Then you gotta show 'em all over again.

The Arizona Fall League has officially ended, and players are heading home, or to another league for the winter. The Nationals players made it all the way to the Championship Game of the AFL, just to fall a bit short losing 2-0 to Surprise. It was a fall league full of great prospects and the Nats' had some of their best their as well. Brian Goodwin, Sammy Solis, Matt Purke, and Matt Skole all made appearances, along with some other minor league Nats'. Here is how they all faired in Arizona.
Brian Goodwin: OF
Goodwin, the 23 year old outfielder, had his struggles at times at the plate but overall had a good fall. A slash line of .296/.333/.444 got him on base a third of the time which is average. He ended up with seven extra base hit, and had at least one of each variety. Doubles led the way, as he finished with four.
His major struggle was the strikeout. He struck out 22 times compared to only four walks. That can't happen for a guy of his caliber. The Nats' are expecting him to step into a major league role rather soon, but numbers like that won't help his cause. He is a player that can steal a bag or two, but he needs to be on base for that to happen.
He will play most of 2013 in the minor leagues, with a possibility of a call up in September. Depending on what happens with Denard Span, look for Goodwin to possibly be the guy in center field in 2014.
Matt Purke: P
Purke, who is also 23, pitched in six games, all of them starts, this fall. He had a very good season going 3-1, with a 3.91 ERA. Opponents only had a .238 average off of Purke. He finished with 17 strikeouts, to only nine walks, which is good to see out of a young pitcher. You have a problem, if all he does is walk guys.
Purke, will spend 2014 in the minor leagues, working on things to make him a better pitcher. He has a solid foundation set, he just needs to fine tune some things to make him even better. He could be a guy that plays in Arizona next fall just to see how he improved.
Steven Souza Jr.: OF
Souza had a limited fall, only playing in 11 games but he sure did impress. He hit .357 and added three extra base hits. He had his fair share of strikeouts, which he will need to work on but all in all it was a good showing.
He really impressed on the base paths where he stole 10 bases. If he has that kind of speed, he will need to work on getting on base a little bit more, to provide more opportunities to steal some bags in 2014.
Sammy Solis: P
You could argue that Sammy Solis had the best fall out of all Nats' minor leaguers. In seven games, all starts, he posted a 2.17 ERA, striking out 29. He also only walked seven batters all fall.
He gave up his fair share of hits, 32 in 29 innings, but he stranded a good amount of them. You could possibly see one more season of Solis in the minors, and then him getting a chance to make the major league club. Depending on what the Nats' due this winter, it could be sooner than that. The Nats' front office is high on him, so they could throw him into the fire and see how he reacts.
Matt Skole: 1B
Skole was a little Adam Dunn in Arizona. He either hit a ball a long way, or struck out. The only difference between him and Dunn, is Skole did draw 15 walks. If he could just cut down on the 18 strikeouts in 15 games, he would be a better player. He had five extra base hits and scored eight times.
Adrian Nieto: C
In a limited 13 games, Nieto showed some strengths. He drew some walks and had some extra base hit pop. He isn't high on the list of minor leaguers, but you never know, a fall league like this could give him the confidence to do something this season. Injuries could have him getting some playing time at a higher level of the minor leagues.
Richie Morowski: P
Morowski, came out of the pen this fall, and made nine appearances. He gave up three earned runs, but opposing hitters only had a .182 average. He had impressive stuff late in at bats to finish guys off. He struck out 10, while only allowing two walks. He also recorded one save.
Robert Benincasa: P
Benincasa also came out of the pen, but he didn't have as good of luck as Morowski. He got hit around a little bit, giving up four earned in nine innings. Opposing hitters, had a .306 average, as he had trouble finding the strike zone at times. He walked four total, while striking out seven.

A man, dressed as a woman, wanted for a string of car thefts was in custody today in Savannah, Ga., police said.
Lemar Neil Robinson, 24, was arrested soon after 8 p.m. Monday after a man reported having recognized someone whose face had been shown in news reports, according to Savannah Chatham Metropolitan police. The man was dressed as a woman, the caller said.
Robinson was driving the last of the three vehicles he was wanted for stealing from used car lots, police said. They said the vehicle was an SUV taken from Car City Statesboro Jan. 5. The previous two cars were reportedly stolen Dec. 19.
"I don't think he dressed that way to fool us," said Bubba Hunt, owner of Car City Statesboro. Hunt said Robinson arrived at Car City in a Mitsubishi SUV he'd taken from the previous lot Dec. 19, allowed his driver license to be photocopied, test-drove a car he returned and complained about, then test-drove a 2001 Jeep Commander.
"He really liked that one," Hunt said.
He left and never returned, leaving the stolen Mitsubishi.
"It wasn't even a fake ID," said Hunt, referring to the license, adding this was the first time in Car City's nine years and approximately 4,000 test drives someone had taken a car.
"Could it happen more? Shoot, things are kind of tough out there right now," Hunt mused.
According to a police statement, Chatham County car salesman Billy Hill reported that Lemar Robinson, "dressed entirely in women's clothing," test drove three vehicles from his lot on Dec. 19. On the final test drive, Robinson didn't return.
Hill went to the address on Robinson's license and met Robinson's father, who said Robinson had been arrested twice before for this same crime, the statement continued.
The spree began earlier on Dec. 19, when, according to Effingham County Sheriff's spokesman David Ehsanipoor, an employee of Johnson's Tire Service in Springfield reported a "black female" drove off in a 1997 Saturn and didn't come back.
"He actually doesn't make a bad-looking woman," said an officer reached by phone at Savannah Chatham Municipal Police Department.

Last night in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs, the Montreal Canadiens looked to tie their series with the New York Rangers in Montreal.
New York Rangers – 3 Montreal Canadiens – 1 (Rangers lead series 2-0)
*With Carey Price scheduled to miss the rest of the NHL playoffs, the Canadiens turned to rookie goalie Dustin Tokarski. The results weren't bad as he made 27 saves on 30 shots. Unfortunately for him and the Canadiens, Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist made 40 saves on 41 shots to give the Rangers a commanding 2-0 series lead, taking both games in Montreal. The Canadiens opened the scoring in the first on a goal by Max Pacioretty, but the Rangers tied things up less than 30 seconds later thanks to Ryan McDonagh and took the lead with 1:02 remaining in the period on a goal by Rick Nash, which turned out to be the game-winner. Lundqvist did the rest, including stopping 19 third period shots from the Canadiens while the Rangers added one more off the stick of Martin St. Louis. P.K. Subban had a game-high nine shots for Montreal. The Rangers power play went 1 for 3 while the Canadiens failed to cash in on four power play chances. Game three is Thursday in New York.

Gear Question
I'm working full time as a lift operator...
Member since
I'm working full time as a lift operator at Mt. Baker this season, and am determined to find a boot that will keep my feet warm and dry! What boot would be the best for this the Baffin Impact, Sorel Caribou, Sorel Glacier, Sorel Trail boot? I have always had a problem with uber cold toes while working on the mountain. Are there any boots out there that are not made in China?
Member since
Well, how did you make out last year? I bought Baffin Endurance at the end of last year to replace my old Baffins (bought in 1992 and still have original liner......seem between upper & rubber finally ripped). Baffin still has some of its products made in China but many are made in Canada (Stony Creek, Ontario) and supposedly the rest may be on their way back to being made in Canada. Those that are made in Canada (like mine) are labelled so. http://www.investinhamilton.ca/baffin-boots-helping/

Adam Smith is celebrated all over the world as the author of "The Wealth of Nations" and the founder of modern economics. A few of his ideas - that of the 'Invisible Hand' of the market and that 'It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest' - have become icons of the modern world. Yet Smith saw himself primarily as a philosopher rather than an economist, and would never have predicted that the ideas for which he is now best known were his most important. This book, by one of the leading scholars of the Scottish Enlightenment, shows the extent to which "The Wealth of Nations" and Smith's other great work, "The Theory of Moral Sentiments", were part of a larger scheme to establish a grand 'Science of Man', one of the most ambitious projects of the European Enlightenment, which was to encompass law, history and aesthetics as well as economics and ethics. Nicholas Phillipson reconstructs Smith's intellectual ancestry and formation, of which he gives a radically new and convincing account.He shows what Smith took from, and what he gave to, the rapidly changing and subtly different intellectual and commercial cultures of Glasgow and Edinburgh as they entered the great years of the Scottish Enlightenment. Above all he explains how far Smith's ideas developed in dialogue with those of his closest friend, the other titan of the age, David Hume. This superb biography is now the one book which anyone interested in the founder of economics must read.

Beloit Film Fest offers Student Filmmaker Showcase
• Day of preparation Saturday, Jan. 21, at Beloit Public Library
Staff Report
BELOIT, Wis. — Beloit International Film Festival (BIFF) has announced the new Student Filmmaker Showcase as part of the 2012 BIFF schedule.
Presented in partnership with the Beloit Public Library, this is a unique and highly rewarding new film challenge for young adults, the results of which will be screened on the Saturday of BIFF (Feb. 18) at Beloit Public Library.
The program is for middle and high school students, grades sixth through 12th. Entries can be of any genre, must be between 3 and 5 minutes long, and will be created by the students themselves. Guidelines and submission forms, along with helpful links for filmmakers, can be found on the BIFF Student Filmmaker showcase website: http://beloitfilmfest.org/student-filmmaker-showcase/.
A day of preparation will be held at the library from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 21. This will give students the opportunity to bring in their projects for feedback or help with technical issues in the filmmaking process. Experts will be available to the students during this time to answer technical and creative questions that may have arisen during their filming.
Teens have started getting involved, and in the words of director of educational programming, Melissa Hawks: "Students are already coming up with wonderfully creative ideas. They seem to be inspired by this program, and I've heard them planning everything from a claymation short in the tradition of Wallace and Gromit, to an educational film on how to survive a zombie apocalypse. They're dreaming big, which is the true purpose of this program."
The grand prize winner will receive an award at the annual Launch and Laurels party Thursday, Feb. 16, at the Eclipse Center. Other awards will be handed out at the screening of these films Saturday, Feb. 18, at the Student Filmmaker Showcase, which will be held at the Beloit Public Library, 605 Eclipse Blvd., Beloit, Wis.

"American Horror Story: Asylum" recap: "I'm tough, but I'm no cookie."(2.11)
Thredson rushes home, only to find Lana waiting for him with a loaded gun, looking all kinds of fine. The police are on their way but she still has a few unanswered questions. And Lana, I love you when you're flipping the bird, pointing a gun, and exacting well-deserved revenge, but when you let Thredyface put his hands anywhere but in the air, I really want to shake you. She asks what he did with Wendy's body. When I saw Clea DuVall's name in the opening credits this week, a small, stupid part of me dared to hope that she was somehow, miraculously alive. But no, I was simply forced to look at her face, an expression of despair frozen on it, as Thredyface defiled her corpse. It made me ill. It makes me ill. Moving on.
Lana appropriately, is looking forward to the end of this man's life, so when he brags about how the worst thing waiting for him is a lifetime commitment to a mental hospital, she takes matters into her own trigger finger.
An appropriately ironic end to the artist formerly known as Bloodyface.
While I'm very glad to see him go, I am sad to report that this is the third major villain we've lost in very anticlimactic fashion.
Flash forward a bit, to Lana visiting Wendy's tomb with the lesbian peanut gallery from episode two. To give credit where credit is due, I'm glad we get to see Lana mourn the death of her partner. Even though she hasn't been what you might making a lot of sweet lady love this season, Lana's sexuality has never been an afterthought. It's always woven into her personality without dominating it. I wish I could say the same for the brunette member of the peanut gallery who firsts skeeves all over the grieving Lana with an offer to be her roommate, and then sneaks off when reporter shows up, since her family "doesn't suspect" she's a lesbian.
"Honey, you couldn't be more obvious if those earmuffs were made of actual vagina."
Also, the cinematography in this scene and the whole episode is very impressive; it's nice to see them have a palette other than gray.
Back at Briarcliff, the Monsignor is less than thrilled with Lana's exposé of his institution. Since she's out of his reach, he vents his anger on the other pesky female in his life, Sistah Jude, who calls him out for his "stupid, naked ambition." He responds by throwing her in solitary for, like, ever. Jessica Lange's performance channels the mad conviction of a Greek tragic heroine and continues to be one of the best reasons to watch this show.
"Don't pity me! Pity the extras forced to pace this room ALL SEASON!"
At least Kit is having a good day. In the wake of the Briarcliff scandal it is no longer possible to hold Kit captive, so he gets some clothes from the Salvation Army and his walking papers. Before he goes, though, he convinces the Monsignor to release Grace, since she is officially still a dead person anyway. Once free the happy couple rescue their son from St. Brutus' and go to make a life for themselves. Unfortunately their choice of venue is Kit's old home which is still haunted by the ghost of Alma…or just actual Alma.
"So are we gonna Sister Wives this shit or do I need to fight you?"
Also grappling with the implications of parenthood is Lana, who goes to the friendly local abortion provider. At the last second, though, she decides that there has been enough bloodshed on Bloodyface's behalf. Not the call I would have made, but whatever.
Flash forward again to later in Lana's pregnancy, when she manages to obtain a search warrant to return to Briarcliff and fulfill her vow to Sistah Jude. When she arrives, the Monsignor relates the sad story of her suicide. Lana doesn't buy it but the two cops are just day players from central casting, so they refuse to investigate. A long shot reveals that Jude is alive, merely being kept in Briarcliff's deepest dungeon.
For our final flash forward, we see Lana lying in a hospital bed below a crucifix, having just given birth. So first of all: this is a CATHOLIC HOSPITAL? Just watching this show has robbed my faith in church-run medical institutions, but apparently not Lana's. A nurse brings in her son, who is allergic to baby formula. Lana doesn't want anything to do with the kid, but when she hears his cries, she reluctantly takes him to her bosom.
So basically quit complaining and assaulting prostitutes, Dylan McDermott.
See you next week for the very last episode.

I'm trapped
But not in the normal sense,
My minds trapped
In this body.
Everyone calls me a girl
Because that's what my body portrays me as
But that's not the case
Yes…I'm in a girl body
But I'm actually a boy
To be more precise…
I'm an F.T.M.,
Female to male transgendered.
I was born this way
And it's actually natural
It's not a defect
Or anything like that
It's just who I am
I can't change the fact
That I'm a guy
I just deal with the girl body
And accept who I am
I know that it's weird
And probably hard to accept
And to wrap your head around
But all I ask is to try
And to not judge me
If at all possible.
This is who I am…
I'm an F.T.M.,
And I'm proud of it!

"Guard" versus "Officer": What's your view?
What's the difference between a security guard and a security officer?
I'm sure many people have their opinions on this question. I heard one reader's opinion a few weeks ago after I wrote a blog post, "Security as customer service: Why not recruit guards from the hospitality sector," about how Jim Birch, security director at the Comcast Center office building in Philadelphia, had recruited from the local hospitality sector for his staff of "security ambassadors."
Within the post, I used the terms security "officer" and security "guard" interchangeably, something this commenting reader—a security professional for one of the major guard companies—took me to task for. "I find most security 'officers' working in the public arena resent being referred to as 'guards', they/we don't work in prisons and jails," this reader wrote. "Seldom do we just guard something, we patrol, interact with people, observe and report."
He told me the Comcast Center's "security ambassadors" were likely "not smiling" at my article and closed with a tip for me. "I believe if you want to gain respect and a following you might want to avoid demeaning your audience," he wrote.
I take reader comments seriously. Feedback is crucial in helping me improve SDN and guide how I cover the security profession so I'm delivering the most value to my readers. So I wanted to know if I had, in fact, inadvertently demeaned my audience. I asked Jeffrey Hawkins, American Military University's manager of strategic initiatives for the private security sector, about the different terms and where the discussion is within the profession. "I think there are some people in the industry that do not like the term 'guard,' feeling that is an outdated title, one that demeans the position by creating the image of the old-time security guard that slept in a factory in between doing rounds, mostly to make sure there were no fires in the building," Hawkins wrote in an email. However, "If you look at the actual Webster's definition, the term 'guard' is actually more applicable to what security personnel do 'to protect'; the definition 'officer' is defined as one with police authority."
Hawkins believes security professionals have abandoned the traditional definitions of "guard" and "officer" and developed their own interpretations. "My feeling is there are still 'security guards' and there is nothing wrong with that; I think of these folks who are generally at a fixed location and oversees the protection of an object, or area, or certain point of access. I feel 'officer' is probably more applicable to uniformed security personnel who patrol and perform more 'police-like' functions."
However, the terms are not universal. "Many states still classify the security industry personnel as 'guards,' so it is still widely used and will probably be a long time, if ever, before it is not associated with the security industry."
What's your opinion? Are the words interchangeable? Is the term "guard" a stumbling block along the path to increasing the professionalism of security?
Whatever you think, it's clear I need to be more sensitive to the issue and more careful with my word choice in the future.
Good topic, Whit! It should breed lively discussion and consternation for security managers who are on the fence as to what term to use.
Jim Burch, Comcast Security Director, has it right! All you have to do is ask the employee's closest relative: "what does he/she do for a living?" Most people would hesitate when saying, "he is a security guard." It just doesn't sound important enough.
Although, terms like these can be found in other industries, too. Bank teller, corrections officer (note, not corrections guard), cop vs. policeman or police officer. The word "officer" has been used over thousands of years and it most closely associated with having authority or oversight of others. It is in this context that the military or other hierarchies use the term. If this is true, then the term security officer is misapplied if it refers to an individual with little or no authority over persons or enforcement rights; in this case, entry level security persons. True, one could argue that they (security officers) have the authority to enforce company policies and procedures. However, If someone asked you, "who are the 'officers' in your company?", most would say a director or a board-level person.
Nevertheless, whatever term you decide to use, is a personal choice. And, care should be taken to use it consistently throughout your documents and business setting. Not interchangeably. It leads to confusion.
And, I agree with Hawkins when he says that it may depend on your work function and environment. Let's face it, the term 'guard' is not as attractive as ambassador, officer, professional, or specialist. However, it certainly has its place for use in our industry from a legal standpoint and other reasons. And, it will be around for a long-time.
Jeremiah Frazier, CPP
Board Certified in Security Management
My view as someone in the Protection Services business since 1972, as a Federal Officer serving as a Security and Intelligence Professional, and then moving into the Private Security Management Industry in 1980. I have seen the Secuirty Industry change often, and it is important for the Security industry to focus on real issues such as; Front Line Training, and Compensation, and upgrading the technical skills of the line staff who protect millions of dollars of equipment,facilities and key organizational leaders.
What these individuals are called is important but should not dettract from the services they perform, which are Protection Services, which is the term I use when speaking of front line Security staff,supervisors and managers. In point of fact wether these individuals work for a contract Security company or as proprietry Security, they are legally "agents" of the contract company or the Fortune 100 company they work for. It is my professional opinion that the Security Industry must foucs its attention on the quality of services and people provided, and not detract from what they contribute, by foucsing on how we identify these professionals.
Australia is similar to many other countries in relation to our security industry. licensing refers to guards however training courses refer to a security officer's course.
Over many years in a variety of industries in Australia that employ security staff, guards have been employed where a single point of entry or a facility is guarded and security staff comply strictly with laid down guidelines. These sites would include millitary base guard posts, prisons, police watch-houses, retail security guard, industrial sites etc. Security Officers are employed in positions where they have been charged with making decisions based on the situation. These staff are employed in positions such as loss prevention officers, security officers in the mining industry and in some government positions. In my varied career, i have been employed in all of these roles.
Overall, they are security agents of a service provider and I agree that the importance of the quality of security personnel and their level of training is more important than their title.
Great topic, Whit!
I was watching a movie (Mall Cop) where the main character stated "It's just that there's a huge, huge controversy brewing in the industry right now, whether the title should be Security Guard or Officer." I suppose everyone perceives it differently. To me both terms mean exactly the same thing although everyone likes the term "officer" as it sounds more professional and seems to have more authority. Some claim that the difference is whether you are armed or not, patrol officer (for incident response)or fixed post guard (watchman), or the difference is skill set/training.
I shared this article with my colleagues and received some pretty good feedback. Maybe they differ by region. In the states they are issued a Security Guard lisence and my colleagues in India report that these (SG and SO) are two different designations of security professionals in their country. The security guard and security officer are both protectors but in a different manner. Each has their own separate job description, duty responsibilities and training.
Differences in Title:
- Security Guards typically have little responsibility other than basic fire safety and building integrity tasks.
- Security Officers may have very elaborate protocols that involve a wider range of tasking and responsibilities. He will be the person controlling entire physical security operation at the posted assignment and provide appropriate instruction to the deployed guarding force.
Differences in Training:
- Security Guards often have minimal training, since they are seen as more of a human alarm system that when tripped, reports incidents which comes to their notice on static or roving post.
- Security Officers are typically trained to a standard more to take decision on spot in co ordination with management and also to approaching law enforcement if required. This is because they are often mandated to respond to incidents,
Differences in Wages:
- Security Guards are entry-level personnel in the protective services field and, as such, are paid on average at or just above the state-mandated minimum wage.
- Security Officers due to their higher level of training, experience and job responsibilities are paid more in line with local law enforcement and corrections personnel in their community.
In India the minimum wages act of the land categorizes the levels to be the following;
- S/Guard
- S/Supervisor
- S/ Officer
- S / Assignment Manager
With the greatest of respect (And to be honest i can't actually believe I'm stooping to answer/comment on this) Security Professionals (Call them what you will) put themselves in positions (not by choice) so that you are around to make comments like this.
Whilst I am fortunate enough to live in the UK, having served 26 years in HM Forces, and therefore probably in your mind not worth listening to, you do a great disservice to the security profession with your comments and you should take a minute to understand that you can make these comments due to the professionalism of others.
this is similar to what we experience in India where the traditional term watchman was associated with someone sitting at the gate in a disheveled uniform and had little or no training. Today the majority of the market is covered with smart & trained personnel who are referred to as guards.
however, i feel that the next step from here is that the market will move toward provision of officers who are even better trained than guards.
After reviewing some previous articles; I ran across "Guard" versus "Officer": I felt it necessary to include my personnel "professional" opinion regarding this subject. There is a place and a media to use the term "Guard" and there is no demeaning or sarcastic motive or intent in the use of the term "Guard" when addressing or refering to a professional "Security Officer". It is the perception of the audiance or the individual being confronted or intertained by the comment. I have found that because of historical practices of refering to uniformed personnel employed in the field of security, engaged in the business of guarding anything or responsible for the "security" or "protection" of anything are more than not, refered to as "Security Guards" instead of "Security Officers". Of the professionals, employed in the security industry, thre are many that accept the term "Security Guard" when it refers to them mostly because it is a common practice and not as a professional courtesy. Times change; do we address a Sanitary Engineer as a "Trash Truck Driver or a Trash Man"; there are other terms that are not used in the mainstream such as "meter maid", "water man", "telephone man" , "milk man ", and many others because of the change in time which is directed at being "proper" or maybe "politicaly correct". Even the term "prison guard" mentioned in a previous comment is not a proper term; prison guards are now refered to as " Correctional Officers" which sounds professional, however; ask a Correctional Officer what he / she does and they will probably tell you they are a Guard at a prison. That may be an initiator for another story (no disrespect or unprofessional inuindos intended).
Back to by comments; Yes, Security Officers are involved in many aspects of protection which includes foot and vehicle patrols, observations, interaction with the public, use of fire arms or other means of use of force ( which includes the knowledge of when to use force and and to what loevel), continuous professional traiinng, we could go on and on and yes being a professional security officer also includes "guarding a gate", "guardiing a building" , "guarding an object" etc, etc. The bottom line is that all of these positions are and will be performed by a "Professional Security Officer". A person employeed in the security industry to "guard a door " or as a "gate guard" for example, and expected to do no more than what they are instructed to do in those positions are also concidered to be a professional and demand equal respect as a professional. If a person is content as being refered to as a "Guard", may he be kept safe and prosper in his career. A "Security Officer" may also be assigned to this position from time to time; he / she will not only do an excellent job as a guard, he / she will also know how many employees are employed at the facility, what type of alarms systems and fire systems are within the facility and how they operate, what type of shift configuration the facility employlees are performing and may even eventually know all employees by their first name. The security industry is made up of thousands of personnel that are hired to "guard" something at many levels of expertise and with numeruous competencies; These citizens are Professional "Security Officers". Security professionals are refered to as (i.e.) Officer Johns Jones or Officer Jane Doe not Guard Jones and Guard Doe.
Officer, I always cring when somone refers to one of my employees as a guard, they are so much more than this nowadays

New Regulations Grandfather Boston Cigar Bars
Andrew Nagy
Posted: December 12, 2008
In a surprise move, Boston city health regulators voted unanimously yesterday to pass a set of stricter tobacco rules that grant exemption to cigar bars while tightening cigarette and single-cigar sales.
Ever since the Boston Public Health Commission proposed expanding the city tobacco rules back in September, the group has flirted, to the dismay of cigar bar owners, with the idea of shutting down all cigar bars in the city.
Instead, regulators included language in the new rules that offer a 10-year grace period to cigar bars, with the option to petition for up to an additional 10 years after that period.
"We [cigar bar owners] look at it as good news," said Brandon Salomon, an owner of the Cigar Masters cigar bar. "It gives us 10 years to step back, focus on the fact that we're a niche market, and work with them [regulators] on that level of understanding."
Salomon views the new regulations as a good example of city officials and the cigar industry working together to compromise.
"We communicated with them and they listened. They were able to see the human faces behind the businesses they were impacting," said Salomon.
In news reports, health commission members stated that the current economic crisis and the unique clientele of cigar bars were factors in the final decision.
The new rules ban the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies and on college campuses and expand workplace-smoking restrictions to include patios and lodging.

ANYONE AT ALL CLOSE TO the securitization scene agrees on at least one thing: The referenda in California and Massachusetts seeking to roll back restructuring have cast such a pall over the bond issues put out late last year by the California electric utilities to finance their stranded costs that any new issuer hoping for the same 'AAA' rating may as well get prepared to sacrifice his or her firstborn to the rating agencies.
PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION. Chief Judge D. Brock Hornby of the U.S. District Court in Maine, decided to allow Portland Natural Gas Transmission System access to electric transmission corridors owned by Central Maine Power Co. The access will be used to install a natural gas pipeline.
Portland received FERC approval Sept. 24 for installing and operating a 292-mile, $302-million interstate pipeline. CMP owns about 70 miles of the electric transmission corridor. The preliminary injunction, issued April 10, gives Portland access to property on CMP-owned transmission corridors.

Utilities can swallow this loss, he explained. They can defer the four-mill shortfall and accrue it for billing later, like a regulatory asset. The state's Department of Telecommunications and Energy allows it.
TODAY THE ELECTRIC UTILITY INDUSTRY HURTLES TOWARD massive restructuring. This fervor is not surprising as it appears society has become convinced that market forces can work better than a centrally planned, regulated environment. This conviction draws strength from deregulation in other industries, such as the airlines, natural gas production and telecommunications.
mission grid, how much independence is too much? Should ISOs cede control over dispatch to scheduling coordinators, or market functions to a power exchange?

From the nylon to the backing, learn how to choose green carpet tile
Tips for Smart SpecifyingSpecifying carpet based on sustainable principles can be challenging since you can't make an apples-to-apples comparison.
To help with the process, you can consult these outside resources regarding the performance of carpet: NSF 140, the Sustainable Carpet Assessment Standard, Cradle to Cradle certification from McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC), the Carpet and Rug Institute's (CRI) Green Label Plus, and the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED rating system, just to name a few.
Also, while considering different aesthetic options, including color and pattern, try to order carpet "sims" (simulations) instead of samples. High-resolution prints on recycled paper, sims reduce the energy used to create a physical carpet sample and prevent the depletion of natural resources. Contact your carpet vendor or peruse its website for more information.
Facilities professionals and designers who specify sustainable carpet for commercial projects agree that the process begins with knowing the project specifics, including aesthetics, performance, pricing, and code requirements for the building.
After you have selected several viable carpet-tile options, focus on the technical aspects of the yarn, adhesives, and backing. If you think you've picked out the ideal carpet tile for your building, test it against the following questions:
Environmental ConcernsIf you're satisfied with your selection based on your answers to these questions, and the carpet's sustainable characteristics, purchase the tiles and prepare for installation. Don't forget, however, to send specific instructions to your contractor about what will happen to your building's existing carpet. If possible, it should be recycled, and the tipping receipts should be filed for the necessary parties. By incorporating the reclamation process into standard specifications, you're helping to keep construction waste from ending up in landfills.
If you're concerned about the side effects of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the adhesive that the contractor uses to adhere the tile to the floor, you can ask him or her to use a non-liquid component that prevents mold and mildew growth, and that's easy to re-adhere.
Work with designers and carpet manufacturers to get the information you need to make an informed decision. If you do your research and specify quality, sustainable carpet tile for your building using these questions as a guideline, you can take pride in knowing that you've played your part in a long life-cycle in which the carpet will be used and reused into the future.

Few driving annoyances irritate the automotive enthusiast set as much as a slow-moving driver clogging up the far left lane of a highway. Mercifully, this is one instance where the law is on your side, as that left-hand lane is meant for passing the slower traffic that should be driving on the right (as the helpful sticker on the Lego Volvo above illustrates).
In Kansas at least, a new law went into effect on July 1 that will allow police officers and the Highway Patrol to better enforce the rules of the road. On all multi-lane highways in The Sunflower State, it's now illegal to drive in the far left-hand lane "except when passing or turning left or when instructed to do so by traffic-control devices or officers."
Trooper Mark Engholm of the Kansas Highway Patrol tells USA Today that "the law is designed to reduce road rage and prevent motorists from trying risky maneuvers." Finally, a good reason to drive through Kansas... let's just hope that the powers that be in the state (and others) enforce it.
