Review: BullGuard Mobile Security 10 For BlackBerry v10.0.233
Do you remember my post on the ZeuS trojan? With the issue of the ZeuS Trojan BlackBerry variant targeting BlackBerry devices, I set out on a mission. My mission was to seek the antivirus/security softwares that are capable of defending your BlackBerry from this and other malware. One such software is BullGuard. Check it out…
I sent out emails inquiring who had the virus definitions for the ZeuS, and the only one who responded was BullGuard. I thought it would be a great idea to do a review on this product and let you see how it works. I didn't test the antivirus for good reason, but I did show the definitions from BullGuard. BullGuard has had the definitions and able to detect and remove the ZeuS trojan since the end of September 2010! It detects the trojan before it's installed.
Customer service is fantastic through email. The live chat isn't as helpful, but through email they are fast to respond and are very precise with answers and assistance. The app itself installs quickly, and with a key you have after purchase, you set it up and you're ready to go. The nice thing about this app is that you have a dashboard to send commands and view your device.
The BullGuard Mobile Security 10 if you look closely, is very similar to SMobile Security Shield, and if you look at the screens, you'll see Junos Secured. Junos Networks is the company that acquired SMobile Systems. BullGuard includes the following for the device through the app:
- Antivirus and Antispyware with real time detection and removal of viruses and spyware via direct download, SMS, MMS, e-mail, Bluetooth, and infrared.
- Antitheft: Look and wipe remotely, track your phone via GPS (I can tell you that when you click on the larger map, it's very precise).
- Parental Control: Monitor your child's calls, text messages, and photos.
- Firewall
- Spamlifter: Block calls and messages
- Basic Backup: Contacts and Calendar
- Forgetfulness: If you forgot where you placed your phone, you can log in and have the sound alarm so you can find your phone.
- Support: Free support 24/7
So let's take a look at the app. You'll see three options:
- Antivirus
- Parental Control
- Basic Backup
If you click on the Antivirus, you will see Monitor Status as Enabled (you can disable this), Last Update, and the License Expiration. If you click on Options, you can choose Scan Now and the following are there for you to check to scan:
- Scan Applications
- Scan Internal Files
- Scan SD Card
- Exclude Media Files
- Custom Scan
You can check whichever ones you want, click the Options and choose Start Scan. From the Antivirus Screen, in the Options you will see the OnDemand Scan Log and the FileMonitor Log, Quarantine, and the Virus List. I've chosen a few screenshots with the ZeuS trojan highlighted (there's two of them). The Settings option allows you to disable or enable your Antivirus. The Antivirus will update frequently when you go into it. Knowing your phone is protected is a great safety measure.
Next is the Parental Control. It shows what monitoring is enabled, the Log File size, and the last posted date. Options will not allow you to disable this from the device. This makes it great for the tech savvy teen or preteen. You control it from your dashboard.
Basic Backup Tells you the Last Backup and Last Restore. Options allow you to backup or restore. This is a fantastic option for when you break your phone or lose it or it's stolen. Wipe it and restore to the new replacement.
Now let's take a look at the BullGuard Mobile Protection Centre.
As you can see from the screenshot above you have the following commands that you can send to your device:
- Lock Device
- Unlock Device
- Locate Device
- Backup And Restore
- Wipe Device
- Scream Locate
The following Tabs are also listed at the top:
- Home
- Settings
- Reports
- Alert Setup
- Support/Help
The first task I tried is to lock the device. I press the command and am told it was successful. A few seconds later, the following screen appeared on my phone:
Then of course I unlock it by command. BullGuard sends SMS text commands to your device. The phone then responds.
Here's another screenshot of the next tab. This is where you choose the messages being monitored.
If you're worried about your child keeping in contact with certain individuals, you can look it up. You can also see the commands you've sent to the device.
Here you can set to be alerted if any of the following are placed to the device being monitored. And here's another bonus I like: the different definitions of text messaging.
All the commands work great, even GPS Locate. If you click on the larger map, it will show you exactly where the device is. I like knowing that it's able to protect my device and security, and if a child were to have the device, they'd be unable to change the monitor settings.
It's very similar to the SMobile Security Shield, which was one of my favorite apps. It was reliable and removed spyware quickly. Seeing the similar settings and definitions, I can say that the antivirus will work just as well. They've gotten even more tuned with the GPS locate too.
The app is easy to use. The only tricky part was setting it up, but the customer service through e-mail was great and they were more than helpful. The dashboard is easy to use and allows you to choose what to monitor, to back up remotely, and wipe it remotely. It's great whether you're the parent or the person seeking protection. You could be sure your preteen and your college student is safe. You don't have to monitor anything on the phone if you choose not to. But the GPS and the remote commands is especially helpful and assuring. Not to mention able to protect you and your device from threats such as the ZeuS trojan. There's always been threats such as Spyware which is scary, and malware should be a concern. BullGuard is available for $29.95, which isn't much when considering the threats it's protecting you from and the features it can offer you.

Monday, September 17 12:00:02
Hedge funds that bought into depressed corporate loans during the worst of the euro zone crisis are now being rewarded for their faith in a recovery, with returns of sometimes more than 30 percent.
Companies such as German forklift truck maker Kion and privately-held U.S. firm ServiceMaster are taking advantage of a booming high-yield bond market to refinance their loans and pay out investors, including hedge funds.
Strong demand for high-yield bonds - debt rated below investment grade but with bigger returns - has squeezed borrowing costs for some to a record low and companies have issued almost $250 billion of such bonds this year, with volumes last week hitting an all-time weekly high of $20.84 billion across 27 deals.
"In this environment of zero to low growth and low rates, this is one of the few strategies where you can earn real returns based on real underlying economics rather than just taking a directional bet on say, the euro...," Robert Marquardt, founder of hedge fund investor Signet Management, said.
The strategy, which continues to be attractive, highlights how credit-focused funds - among the best performers in 2012 - are finding ways to wring profits from companies re-ordering their finances, especially as a bank pullback forces firms to look for alternative funding sources.
Earlier this year many funds made big gains from capital-starved banks buying back their own debt in so-called liability management exercises.
Among firms to have attracted hedge fund attention are Swiss chemical maker Ineos, German manufacturer Schaeffler, and Dako, a Danish cancer diagnostics tool maker, which have all refinanced this year, several managers active in the strategy told Reuters.
One, asking not to be named, said he had picked up Dako's loans at close to 89 cents at the start of the year, before the debt was taken out at par just a few months later.
"We've done very well out of this ... We like the volatility," he said.
Funds are also eyeing German forklift truck maker Kion. Its loans traded below 70 cents last October, according to Thomson Reuters LPC data, before the private-equity owned company refinanced some of its outstanding debts.
Hedge funds are hopeful that a recent stake sale to Shandong Heavy Industry will allow the firm to further re-finance at par, handing them more profits.
Elsewhere, funds have traded U.S. firms such as ServiceMaster, a provider of services including pest control, which issued a high-yield bond last month to repay a loan, as well as housebuilder Beazer Homes and payment processor First Data Corp.
The European high-yield market has seen a surge in supply in September, while in the United States, a much bigger market, demand has pushed the average yield-to-worst - the lowest possible yield on a bond which the issuer can repurchase before maturity - on the Barclays U.S. high-yield index to its lowest ever level.
"We are seeing the emergence of a very strong high yield bond market in Europe. It still has a way to go to get to the breadth and depth of the U.S. high yield market, but it is developing fast," Simon Davies, Head of Event Driven and High Yield at hedge fund Cheyne Capital, said. (C ) Reuters

Gateway Community College Block 3 RN GWCC Program - page 2
I'm in the RN program at Gateway now, and just started block 3. I am an advanced placement student. Does anyone have any tips for block 3 and how to pass? I feel a little discouraged because there are so many students in my... Read More
- 1Dec 3, '12 by miteacherQuote from AZMOMO2Thank you! Are you excited to be done with it all?I knew you would catch on and do fine! It's always the first test that gets people. I did not think the final was hard. Although I think Med/Surg was crazy, I want to say there were a lot of medications to know on it, with labs.
Anyway good luck!! Block 4 is a killer and goes faster than 3 did!
- 0Dec 4, '12 by AZMOMO2, ASNYES!! Tomorrow is my last Preceptor shift and then that is it!
- 1Dec 8, '12 by miteacherQuote from AZMOMO2How exciting! I'm curious if we will even have a preceptor opportunity, there was talk of eliminating it. One of the instructors mentioned that we might not have the opportunity. Do you think I'm safe going into the final with an 89%? Or do you think there is still a chance of failing? For review, I'm basically reviewing my notes and listening to lectures. I think block 4 will go by pretty quickly, if I pass.YES!! Tomorrow is my last Preceptor shift and then that is it!
- 0Mar 30, '13 by Assess&Safety1stFor the advanced placement students, how long was the wait to get into block 3?
- 0Apr 3, '13 by AZMOMO2, ASNI applied in March 2012 and was offered a spot right away into the May Accelerated opening at two of my choices.
Because you can choose more than one location when applying usually there is not a wait. I have only heard people waiting 1 semester if there was one. The sooner you get your application in the sooner you get on the list.
- 0Apr 4, '13 by Assess&Safety1stWow thank you good to hear that! I will apply after I take HESI A2 this month and HESI PN next month. What material did you review for HESI PN? I'm have books for HESI A2 already which I'm studying .... please let me know and thank you.
- 0Apr 5, '13 by Assess&Safety1stThank you. OK I'll look for hesi book. I have Saunders books.
- 0May 12, '13 by thejesterHello miteacher I just finished the LPN program at Gateway and start block 3 there in the fall. Do you have any recommendations/suggestions on how to study etc? Any information would be great. Thanks.
Also, has anyone done the RN to BSN program at ASU? Do you have to have a high GPA to get in for the online program?
- 0May 20, '13 by AZMOMO2, ASNRN to BSN does not have a GPA requirement. If you complete the ADN program at the Community College level, sign up for the RN to BSN MAPP and you are guaranteed a spot at ASU.

The Southwest's Premier Gathering of Rare and Exotic Cars
Ticket Info

General Admission 9/30: $45.00
VIP Reception 9/28: $125.00
VIP Admission 9/30: $125.00
Youth Admission on 9/30 (ages 7-17): $25.00
The 2012 Santa Fe Concorso, a gathering of more than 100 rare and exotic cars and motorcycles, will take place September 28 – 30 at The Club at Las Campanas, a stunning development located just 15 minutes from the historic Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.
The event, now in its third year, features three days of viewing a spectacular assemblage of "rolling works of art," including classic cars, racing champions and speed-record seekers, as well as legendary motorcycles and vintage aircraft.
The opening Friday Night Gathering is an informal event for entrants and guests at Hangar K at the Santa Fe Air Center that will showcase a special speed display of vintage aircraft, racing cars and speed-record seekers.
Earlier that day, Paul Russell of Essex, Mass., one of the premier auto restorers in the country, and Jim Stranberg, owner of High Mountain Classics, the top restorer of Bugatti automobiles, will lead a special Design Forum panel discussion at the Log Cabin at The Club at Las Campanas. Both men have taken "Best in Show" honors at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. Also taking part will be Kip Wasenko, former automotive designer for General Motors, and Jeff Brock, a New Mexico resident, who converted a 1953 Buick into a Bonneville Salt Flats record holder. A Q&A session will follow the panel discussion.
On Saturday the focus turns to driving with the third annual High Mountain Tour. Entrants will drive their classic vehicles and be treated to challenging roads and spectacular New Mexico scenery before arriving at Valles Caldera National Preserve. While the mountain tour is for vehicle entrants only, members of the public can also hit the road as participants in the Open Road Tours, which take place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday September 26 – 28.
The Concorso main event takes place on Sunday, Sept. 30, when the classic cars and motorcycles will be displayed on the 9th fairway at The Club at Las Campanas Sunrise Golf Course and in close proximity to the Clubhouse, where attendees will be surrounded by panoramic mountain views. A group of automotive expert judges will review the field and name class winners based on a vehicle's elegance, authenticity, provenance and craftsmanship. Both VIP and public food concessions will be available as well as the popular Concorso merchandise.
There will be many stars in the field of vehicles but some standouts include three "cowboy cars," one belonging to Tom Mix (a supercharged Cord 812 roadster), another to Roy Roger's and Dale Evans' (a '63 Bonneville embellished by Nudie Cohen) and Cowboy Shane, Alan Ladd's '59 white Cadillac, round out the group. A 1988 Formula I Ferrari driven to victory by Gerhard Berger is part of the open wheel race car class, as well as the 1917 Peerless Green Dragon.
In addition, automotive luminaries such as Sir Stirling and Lady Susie Moss will be on hand as well as Santa Fe's own Denise McCluggage, a legendary writer and racer, and Albuquerque's Al Unser Sr, a four-time Indianapolis 500 winner.
The success of the Santa Fe Concorso directly benefits youth organizations of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County. The Concorso is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. A portion of ticket costs are tax deductible to the extent allowed by Federal law. www.santafeconcorso.com

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks finished mixed on Monday, getting the holiday-shortened week off to a slow start following Friday's euphoric response to European summit developments.
The equity markets are slated to close early at 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday and be shut down completely on Wednesday for the July 4th Independence Day holiday.
Monday's economic data provided little impetus to rally further as a weaker than anticipated report showed a contraction in monthly manufacturing activity for the first time in nearly three years but the Nasdaq and S&P 500 both managed modest gains while the Dow finished more than 75 points above its session low.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost nearly 9 points, or 0.07%, to close at 12,871.The S&P 500 added more than 3 points, or 0.25%, to settle at 1365.51. The Nasdaq booked a gain of more than 16 points, or 0.55%, to finish at 2951, its high for the day.

Work in Progress
Short and sweet this time around, folks.
Work continues to polish the Tales of Invisible Hand novel. I've gone back to the start and edited the first two sections, and now find myself halfway into the third. That puts me about halfway overall, and I find I'm picking up speed as I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Meanwhile, as Tales of the Invisible Hand is intended to kick off a series, my notes have been piling up for the next book and the overall arc. I really can't wait for this to be out there in one way or another. Between it and Road/Kill, these two things have pretty much taken up every ounce of free space in my head for the last couple years.
As to Invisible Hand, I intend it should be ready to shop around by July or August, depending on how the editing continues. From there on, I intend to follow the example of a fellow Skull Island writer, one Larry Correia. In launching his Monster Hunter International series back in 2009, he told me he had it written in about eight months. That was pretty amazing in and of itself, to my mind (seriously, the guy knocks words out like a T-800). However, what he did next was of particular interest to me. He shopped it for a year, to little or no interest (hilarious, I know) before deciding to self-publish. The readers it picked up thereafter caught the attention of his current publisher Baen, and he's been off to the races ever since.
Sounds good to me.
Bottom line, my book will be out there soon enough, if you want to read it. Moreover, it will go as I intended, without vampires, teen angst or whatever else is 'big right now'. From there, I leave it to you to decide if we go on!
As to Road/Kill? Ok so this pet project is a little more visible on the horizon. The core rulebook and supporting materials are done, and ready to go. That leaves me to expand the website to get it in your hands. I've contracted a great web designer and friend to get that done for me over July. I'll get the word out on the usual channels (Twitter, Facebook, mailing list) right around then, so you're sure not to miss it. If you're not already on the mailing list, or haven't 'liked' us on Facebook, let me know and I'll add you to the list.
Until next time!

Andreolli's delight at Inter 'homecoming'
Marco Andreolli has expressed delight at his return to Inter Milan and is relishing the chance to work under new coach Walter Mazzarri.
Andreolli left Inter for Roma as a 21-year-old in 2007 and had spells at Vicenza, Sassuolo and Chievo before opting to return to San Siro on a free transfer.
– Marco Andreolli
For me it's a homecoming. I remember the day I left, I was really sad to be leaving Inter and it's great to be back after so many years.
I have improved and I have a real sense of pride to be back here. I always wanted to come back and have worked hard for it.

Michael Schumacher states the following regarding the current Pirrelli GP tyres
"It's unsatisfying and not what a Formula 1 event should be."
Schumacher finished 10th in Sunday's Bahrain Grand Prix, which was marked by the highest tyre degradation of the season so far.
The seven-time champion added: "If 80 or 90% complain, maybe Pirelli should think about it.
"I don't think it is right only one or two teams can handle it and the rest struggle so much."
Of the front-running cars, Schumacher's Mercedes has among the highest tyre usage.
The team struggled to varying degrees in the first two races in Australia and Malaysia, before coming good in China last weekend, only to suffer again in Bahrain.
I am not sure of his exact motives, but do I agree with him that the tyre's are not suitable for the extraction of maximum car-driver performance, there are too many limiting factors to be considered to allow 'flat out racing'
Silly soft tyres that can be ruined in one lap.
Tyre management is a skill. Schumacher drove during the period (was it 2004 or 2005?) where you weren't allowed to change your tyres. Did he have the same problem then?

Mostly impossible to make tryes like that but it would be nice if there were several ways to win a race. At the moment you seem to have a choice of conservation, or more conservation.

Thats the wonderful thing about Pirelli's, it's a double edged sword. Faster the car the quicker the tyres degrade "in retrospect", having the fastest car doesn't make or break a season now.
Driver input and having the car to work around the tyres for the whole season is the game changer here. Yeah maybe Mercedes and McLaren have the fastest car in qualifying but if they cant do that over a course of a race, whose fault is that?
I am not convinced how much tyre management is being that relevant really. I think the real crucial factors is how the car uses it's tyres rather than how the driver can look after them. The tyres have a very small operating window and it has been shown that when teams have been able to set their cars up to operate the tyres in that windows then they have been fast, and when teams have not quite been able to then they have struggled.
So really I do not think it is driver tyres management which is having the impact but rather how the teams can utilise the tyres and surely that is no difference in utilising exhaust gases or improving aerodynamics. If a car has hardly any downforce then I suppose their driver can not push as hard as he wants either, or if a car has an unstable rear then a driver will not be able to push as hard as they can either. This is F1 not Mario Karts.

I dont think Kimi's race was ruined it was saved in my opinion thanks to the pirelli's. He started 11th with a fresh set of options to use unlike most in front of him. If this was on Bridgestones Seb would of most likely flown off into the distance from the word go with a gap of 20+ seconds. Lewis' pitstop blunders would of still happend and it would of taken the Lotus' longer to get past Webber, building a bigger gap for Seb while in clean air.
Kimi in my opinion would of never got on the podium if he was on Bridestones, but thanks to the advantage of sitting 11th he was able to close the gap to Seb giving us a tense fight for 1st and he almost pulled it off.
Kimi's race yesterday is the perfect argument of the tyres NOT restricting a driver's ability to race. He was fast and aggressive all race, just not in the reckless, wheelspinning way that some others might be who complain about the fragility of the car. You don't have to drive slowly to preserve tyres, locking wheels under braking and spinning the rears under traction both damage the tyres and lose lap time.
I think it's interesting that so many people are talking about the tyres issue rather than other factors affecting car performance and pace. The Pirelli's seem to be overachieving their purpose. It's not that the idea is wrong, more that the effect is too dramatic.
Do you want to go back to the 2010 ways and having the most boring races in the history of the world? The only good race was Canada..Where tyre deg was high. I cant think of another good 2010 race.
This year has had some of the best races, hell, even Bahrain was good.. And that's impossible. The tyres are great.
We've had some relatively boring race era's in the past, but we've also had some very exciting years over the past decade. The Pirelli's have certainly spiced things up recently along with DRS and KERS but that's covering up the advances in aerodynamic design which have made overtaking so difficult. As mentioned by others, it's the rules governing tyre use which could be changed for the better.
Racing is not racing anymore, it is a confusion of sorts. There is a fine line between entertainment, and an utter mess. Drivers who have raw pace cannot show it, Ham/Raikk/Schumacher/Alonso..
Im with Schumacher on this; Pirelli are have a bit of a laugh really. I never want to see the best drivers in the world pushing at 50% of their ability trying to conserve tyres, I want to see 100% every lap.
Just look at the last race, Jenson who is known for being the best at looking after his tyres did 8 LAPS in his first stint, thats just ridiculous from Pirelli. I hope a few more drivers come forward about the tyres. If Paul Hembrey wants to be stubborn by dismissing the views of the drivers then bring in another tyre manufacturer alongside Pirelli and lets see who the teams sign a contract with.
We have enough in this sport to spice things up with the new regulations, DRS, KERS.
It wasn't Schumacher's tyres that meant he finished in the lower points, it was his grid position. I think this is just a moan from a Schumacher irrated at Rosberg's success, compared to his disappointments.
Like others have said, I believe the racing to be fantastic since Pirelli joined the sport. And I don't think tyre wear is anywhere near being the only factor when achieving success.

ABRS Returns to Willow Springs
After our most recent event at Auto Club Speedway, it came time to pack up for our trip to Willow Springs International Raceway on the weekend of June 21 and 22. We had a range of experience to work with, from first-timer students participating in our One Day and Two Day Programs, to our return students for our Advanced Day Program. We took to the Streets of Willow course for the weekend, a track that is known for it's complexity in its unique racing lines. As expected, the advanced students were laying down fast and consistent laps throughout their sessions, as our instructors worked with them in fine tuning their driving lines and techniques. The new students were being introduced to both the cars and track for the first time, but their times were knocking on the doors of the advanced students by the end of the weekend!
We look forward to returning again in August, you can view our upcoming dates and register here!

Popular tourist attractions near Colorado Springs have reopened after closures due to wildfires that wreaked havoc in the area.
According to the Travel Weekly trade publication, the Pikes Peak Cog Railway reopened over the weekend as the Waldo Canyon fire moved farther away from the Air Force Academy. The railway website says it's business as usual and that "Manitou Springs and the Railway Depot were not harmed in the fire ... Our heartfelt thanks go to the courageous men and women who have battled this blaze." It expresses sympathy to all those who lost homes or were harmed by fire.
Travel Weekly says Cave of the Winds and Garden of the Gods reopened Monday. Attractions still closed to visitors can be viewed on the Colorado Tourism Office site. It says Manitou Cliff Dwellings may be open today or Wednesday, that Highway 24 is open but that, sadly, the more than half-century-old Flying W Ranch in the foothills near Colorado Springs burned to the ground. A message on the ranch website says refunds on deposits will be issued and that it intends to rebuild.
Meanwhile, historic The Broadmoor resort in Colorado Springs is operating, and it is housing staffers and others displaced by fire.
The Boulder, Colo. Daily Camera reported that the state is concerned about those in other parts of the country getting impression that the state isn't open for tourists and is eyeing a social-media campaign to encourage visitors, via coupons or other incentives.

Irving, TX

My experience with Celebrate Milestones was excellent! They responded very promptly to the initial E-mail as well as those I sent afterwards that asked some more questions as they related to my situation. Regarding shipping date, the items were received exactly as promised. When I explained that two items (from a very large shipment) arrived broken, they promptly arranged to have them replaced quickly. They also asked that I let them know when the replacements have been received. Celebrate Milestones was extremely courteous and reliable. They represented the excellent quality that businesses used to display years ago. It's nice to know that there are still some businesses who still care about maintaining reliable and superb customer relations by providing the absolute best service they can render. Celebrate Milestones equals the best in customer service and satisfaction.

text: Playing Matchmaker: 5 Fights To Make After UFC 157 Karim Zidan February 24, 2013 Opinion Ronda Rousey certainly lived up to all the hype and expectations on Saturday night. Surviving an early scare, the bantamweight champ took control late in the first round and succeeded in yet another first round arm-bar submission. While the historic main event may have been the selling point of UFC 157, there were several other notable performances worth mentioning. Here are the fights to make after UFC 157: 1. Ronda Rousey vs. Zingano/Tate winner Ronda Rousey lived up to all expectations on Saturday night and will forever be remembered for her historic contributions to the UFC. Now with all that behind us, it is time to look at what is next for the champ. UFC President Dana White revealed that 10 women have been signed to the 135lbs division and that will certainly leave Ronda with quite a few potential opponents. Next for the champ should be the winner between Cat Zingao and Miesha Tate. Tate gave Ronda her toughest test under the Strikeforce banner and considering their resentment for one another, a rematch would arguably be a money draw. Training at the Nogueira brothers' own 'Black House', Zingao is no slouch and would also make a tough opponent for the champ. 2. Dan Henderson vs. Rashad Evans Dan Henderson suffered a disappointing split decision loss to Lyoto Machida at UFC 157, halting a 4-fight win streak dating back to December 2010. With no title shot on the horizon, the only logical match-up left for Hendo is Rashad Evans. Evans is coming off a disappointing loss to Rogerio Nogueira and will likely need a big win to remain relevant in the division whilst Hendo needs a big win to convince others that it is not yet time to retire. 3.Robbie Lawler vs. Marquardt/Ellenberger winner After over nine years away from the octagon, Robbie Lawler made an empathic statement on his first night back, finishing Josh Koscheck in the first round. Lawler struggled against many of the bigger competitors at middleweight but certainly looked comfortable at 170lbs and was able to neutralize Koscheck's top-notch wrestling. Next for Robbie should be a top 10 ranked fighter and the winner between Nate Marquardt and Jake Ellenberger would be a great option. 4. Brendan Schaub vs. Todd Duffee Although it was not impressive, Brendan Schaub managed to pick up a unanimous decision victory over the heavy-handed Lavar Johnson to cap off the preliminary portion of the card. After two straight KO losses, no one can blame Schaub for his gameplan during the fight yet there is something to be said about his lack of offense on the ground. Next for Schaub should be Todd Duffee, who recently returned to the octagon with a KO win over Phil De Fries. Duffe has a marginally better ground game that Johnson and will likely be able to keep this fight standing. 5. Michael Chiesa vs. Means/Masvidal winner TUF winner Michael Chiesa continues to build momentum with another submission win, this time against Finish fighter Anton Kuivanen. The win extended his winning streak to 9-0 and certainly raises his stock in the division. In a stacked lightweight division, it is best not to rush a prospect like Chiesa, instead allowing him to gradually develop. Next should be a match-up against the winner between Tim Means and Jorge Masvidal.

Honor Diver
THE RECORD: 1984 OLYMPIC GAMES: silver (3m springboard); 1988 OLYMPIC GAMES:
silver (3m springboard); 1992 OLYMPIC GAMES: silver (3m springboard); 1986 WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS: silver (3m springboard); 1991 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS: silver (3m
1982, at age sixteen, he joined the Chinese National team as a springboard
first competed against Louganis at the FINA World Cup in 1983 and was beaten.
Tan took the silver medal in the 3m springboard at the 1984 Los Angeles
Olympics the following year; Louganis won the gold.
For the next four years, Louganis won 19 straight international
springboard competitions; Tan always received the silver.
But at two international invitations just before the 1988 Olympics, Tan
beat Greg, the only two times he would beat the superstar.
At the Seoul Olympics, Greg returned to defeat Liangde.
the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the gold medal again evaded Tan when Mark Lenzi
(USA) won the springboard event. Just
like when Hall of Fame diver Georgio Cagnotto (ITA) had the Olympic gold medal
evade him throughout five Olympic Game competitions in the 1960's, 1970's
and 1980, so did Tan Liangde meet the same fate.
his longevity in the sport was overwhelming.
He earned the silver medal in all of his major international
competitions, as a result of competing against the great Louganis, a diver who
was unbeatable during most of his career. In
1989, the very shy but confident Tan won the FINA World Cup and the Alamo
Invitational. He was elected the
1989 Male Springboard Diver of the Year.
his ten years of international springboard diving competition, Tan was a
consistently great diver who other divers tried to outscore but only a very,
very few succeeded.

Jenny Robinson Interview
Contemporary print artist Jenny Robinson was interviewed by Eastside Editions printer David Avery:
David Avery – Perhaps the first thing to ask, given your background, is what drew you to printmaking, why did you decide to become a printmaker?
Jenny Robinson –When I did my foundation course in England, it was just printmaking, printmaking is what captured me, you know, because when you're in foundation you do so many techniques, and we did quite a big block in printmaking. It was just the one thing that I found, that and photography, that I really found that I was creative. I enjoyed it and I really enjoyed sort of the detail orientation of printmaking.
DA – Given that you chose that, how do you select and develop your images? How did you get into the urban landscape image?
JR – Well, when I went to college I did a lot of traveling. And I took my watercolor sketchbook with me and I found that I was drawn to architecture and the way the light fell, especially in places like India. The light's very strong there. And although the work I was doing then was a bit over romantic, I suppose, maybe not romantic, but it was more color orientated and detail orientated because although I was doing sketches I was also taking back-up photographs. And then when I got back to England and I would do the work, I would get too bogged down in details from the photographs.

George Harrison loved to garden — the dedication in his autobiography I Me Mine reads, "To All Gardeners Everywhere." And at the Chelsea Flower Show in London, his widow, Olivia, is honoring his memory with a garden. The first part of the garden shows George's birthplace in Liverpool, the second symbolizes the Sgt. Pepper days with brightly colored flowers, and the third area is more subdued and represents the period of time after Beatlemania passed and George became more spiritual. Before George died of lung cancer in 2001, he and Olivia would go to the flower show every year, and George would take notes on the plants he liked. "I really cannot think of a more joyful thing to do for George and I know he would approve," Olivia said. "I do feel close to him in the garden." [Reuters] Keep reading »

Most of us know that social media strategy will help in our business promotion. But the main question arises after that. A big HOW, which seems really big. Many among small business owners, who believe in the Internet marketing strategies of the present day, are in doubt using these social media tools. In reality, it is obvious that most people get confused about all this because this is a huge world where how, where, when become unanswerable. If this is the case with you, you need to understand it from the very beginning.
Being a business owner you must have observed that most of the old techniques have become obsolete. To beat with the new world, you need a social media guide to help you through some special social media strategy that actually works. There are some basic things to remember.
read more »
Social media marketing has its advantages and disadvantages and it is up to you how to turn it over wisely. The basic thing is that if any visitor finds positive response on your site, he will convey this message to 2-3 people but if he finds something negative he will tell this to 10-15 people. So the fundamental thing is to concentrate on your response and reputation. The number gets multiplied when social media networking is talked about. However it is very natural that something might go wrong sometime or another but your attitude and goal should not change. You should know how to react or not react and we are going to discuss it here.

Do you ever wonder what people think gunsmiths do? This gunsmith meme highlights some of the preconceived ideas people have about the gunsmith profession. While your friends may think you are trapped in the colonial days, you may have the tendency of viewing yourself as Rambo.
As a practicing gunsmith, or as a student at a gunsmithing school, what you actually do from day-to-day may be quite different! Gunsmithing takes precision, patience, and hands-on-experience when it comes to successfully assembling, preserving, cleaning, and building a gun. Gunsmithing schools are a perfect place to learn the knowledge you need to be a gunsmith.

ATLANTA -- You can gather as much from my latest column explaining why the Lakers aren't trying right now, but I think the Lakers' losses in Oklahoma City and New Orleans are understandable. The Thunder viewed that game as their Super Bowl after 12 consecutive losses to the Lakers; the Hornets are flat-out good with a healthy, vibrant Chris Paul back.
And Phil Jackson is more focused on the postseason than most coaches. He said Monday on "The Dan Patrick Show" that a successful postseason run to the NBA Finals would make it likely he returns to coach next season, but he hinted he might not otherwise if faced with a revised roster in 2010-11.
"I'd have to think long and hard about it, because I think we only have five guys coming back (under firm contract) off this roster," Jackson said. "There is kind of a real swing effect on this team with players."

Ramzan Kadyrov, Chechnya's president, has denied claims he was responsible for the murder of Natalia Estemirova, a prominent Russian human rights activist.
The Kremlin-backed leader rejected accusations made by Oleg Orlov, the head of Memorial, the human rights group which Estemirova worked for, that he was "guilty" of the killing.
"You are not a prosecutor or a judge therefore your claims about my guilt are not ethical, to put it mildly, and are insulting to me," he told Orlov in a phone conversation transcribed on Kadyrov's website.
"I am sure that you have to think about my rights before declaring for everyone to hear that I am guilty of Estemirova's death."
Estemirova's body was found on Wednesday in a wooded area in Ingushetia, the region neighbouring Chechnya, just hours after she was seized from her home in Grozny, the Chechen capital.
She had been shot twice in the head.Small funeral
Orlov said on Thursday Kadyrov was "guilty for the murder of Natalia".
Chechen president blamed for activist's death Q&A: Murder of Chechen activist Chechnya's battle for independence Witness: Chechen fighters Witness: Chechen syndrome Witness: Lost children of Chechnya
"Ramzan already threatened Natalya, insulted her, considered her a personal enemy," he said. The 50-year-old was buried in a ceremony in Koshkeldy, a Chechen village, on Thursday, while about 100 mourners gathered to remember the rights activist, who was also a single mother, outside Memorial's office in Grozny.
Human rights supporters also gathered in Moscow to protest against her murder. Dmitry Medvedev, the Russian president, said Estemirova "spoke the truth and openly, sometimes toughly, described some processes that happen in this country".
"That is the value of a rights activist. Even if these things are not pleasant and uncomfortable for the authorities".
Call for investigation
Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, said he was "appalled" by the killing.
He called on Russian authorities to "conduct a thorough and impartial investigation in order to bring the perpetrators of this heinous killing to justice, and by so doing, to send a strong and unambiguous message that the targeting of human rights activists will not be tolerated."
January 2009: Anastasia Baburova, a trainee reporter on Novaya Gazeta, shot dead alongside Stanislav Markelov, a Russian human rights lawyer. October 2006: Anna Politkovskaya, well-known Kremlin critic and human rights campaigner shot dead outside her apartment. July 2003: Yuri Shchekochikhin, deputy editor of Novaya Gazeta, died from an unexplained illness his colleagues said was a result of poisoning.
Estemirova's body was found near the city of Nazran shortly after a number of men bundled her into a white vehicle outside her home, human rights activists said.
Memorial and Human Rights Watch (HRW) had earlier this month issued a report accusing Chechen security forces of punishing families of alleged fighters by burning down their homes.After Russia ended a 10-year "counter-terrorism" operation in Chechnya earlier this year, it handed security responsibilities to Kadyrov.
He has also recently been given licence to target rebel fighters in neighbouring regions.
Russia's Gazeta newspaper reported on Thursday that Chechen authorities had complained about Estemirova's work.
"By coincidence, just before the murder, Chechnya's rights ombudsman Nurdi Nukhazhiyev called on Memorial's Grozny office chief to complain about Estemirova, saying she refuses to see positive changes and insists on bringing up dirt," it said.In 2007, Estemirova was awarded the Anna Politkovskaya prize - named after the murdered Russian journalist - by the Nobel Women's Initiative, a group established by female Nobel Peace Prize laureates.

Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola
The Chapel of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School in Chicago is illuminated by the natural light that filters through three walls of varying-sized glass block.
Nathan Kirkman
In contrast to its three glass walls, the chapels fourth wall is clad in cement panels with nearly 4-inch-square, cross-shaped perforations. Natural light filters in and reflects off of the polished concrete floors.

Cement panel and glass block walls
Chicago-based architect John Ronan, AIA, has a strong interest in the materiality of architecture, and his design for the coed Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School on the city's gritty West Side is a case in point. The 94,000-square-foot building's exterior is a pulsating pattern of fiber-reinforced cement panels—in varying sizes and shades of gray—which give the building a strong visual identity using an inexpensive product. But on the first floor of the easternmost end of the L-shaped building, the rhythm of these panels is disrupted by another humble material: glass block. Using different sizes and shapes of the block to form a patterned wall, Ronan uses a simple materials palette to clearly set this space apart.
Behind the translucent walls is one of the Jesuit institution's key spaces: the Chapel of St. Ignatius Loyola. The 45-by-67-foot room seats 200—enough to hold any single class from the school's four-year program—and is surrounded by three walls of daylight filtered through the floor-to-ceiling glass block. These walls are particularly bright during the morning hours when it's most heavily used. "We had to activate the space," Ronan says of his material choice. The wavy face of the material—combined with an intricate wall pattern formed from six different sizes and shapes of block—gives the room an abstract quality that still imbues it with a level of sensuality, according to Ronan. A three-story light well creates the illusion of a skylight in the first-floor space, activating the ceiling plane with light as well. The chapel's fourth wall is made of the same cement-board paneling that clads the exterior of the building, rendered in a monochromatic dark gray and mottled with inscribed crosses. Inside the wall cavity, a black acoustical liner helps absorb sound; stretched-fabric panels on the 11-1/2-foot-tall ceiling mitigate the otherwise hard surfaces of the space.
Worshippers sit in simple chairs—the only pieces in the chapel that are catalog-ordered. The chairs are not fixed and the relatively lightweight liturgical furnishings allow for a flexible arrangement that permits various prayer and sacramental services beyond the Mass. The architect-designed furnishings—including the birch wood altar, two candleholders, ambo, tabernacle, and credence—are stark, but elegant. A sandblasted stainless steel font by Ronan marks the entrance to the space.
The floor is a simple but durable polished concrete, carefully finished to reflect the refracted light that pours in through the glass-block walls. The surface's only punctuations are a series of field-cut joints and an inset stainless steel cross that marks the center point of the chapel. The effect is compelling—making natural light the dominant presence in the room, unencumbered by decorative elements.
Roman Catholic worship spaces can draw on 20 centuries of precedent. Here Ronan, who himself is Catholic, draws on monastic traditions that direct worshippers to silent reflection. The chapel's namesake and founder of the Jesuit order, St. Ignatius of Loyola, stressed quiet discernment in his Spiritual Exercises, which have been a strong part of Jesuit education for four-and-a-half centuries.
A crucifix hangs at the east end of the chapel, which is also the termination of the central axis that cuts through the long side of the larger school building. Ronan creates the cross from two stainless steel cables that span horizontally from column to column and vertically from floor to ceiling. The thinness of the material contrasts sharply with the life-size scale of the overall symbol, in a subtle play between the abstract and the real. The carved corpus that hangs from these cables has features that reflect the dominant ethnicity of the student body.
Only about 10 percent of the school's students are Catholic, according to president Rev. Christopher J. Devron—but most are from homes with a Christian faith background. The Jesuit educational mission promotes the formation of "men and women for others"—and the connections drawn between the chapel's design, and the principles of Ignatian spirituality that inspired it, aid in developing these ideals in the students regardless of their background. "You watch the kids and the light on their faces," Devron says. He uses the room's filtered daylight as a teaching opportunity while preaching in the space. "Each of you has a candle inside of you," he tells his students. "Shine your own light."
The teenagers who study at Christ the King Jesuit College Preparatory School have busy lives. They come from generally overcrowded and economically disadvantaged homes where "quiet time" is a rare commodity. The school's curriculum is structured to provide a path toward future success, but the chapel in particular allows each student to find a refuge from everything else. "What can we discern when we pray in silence?" Devron asks his students. One of them characterized her experience in Ronan's spare and light-filled space by saying:"It helped me find my inner self." A powerful lesson from a simple space.

extended forecast
I think that it is a good idea for you to give the probability or likelihood for each day of an extended forecast as the days get further from the now or the current day, to determine if the conditions are absolute or are only a possibility. So that people can know weather or not to make plans according to an extended forecast or not. For both your website and Television broadcasts. Because when I look at the extended forecast if I have something planned for next week and according to the extended forecast it will be sunny on a particular day then I make plans based on the forecast, but then the day comes and it rains I have a serious problem.

I work for an engineering company that is constantly building things outdoors. My Project Engineers need to know what happens to their projects if a rain storm occors. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get this information anywhere on the web. Something that could show not only the weather on that day but crucial things like high wind speed, or a storm in a localized area.

Allow me to select the classic map as the primary display on the home page
I would like the option of having the classic map as the main map display. I prefer the Classic map and it is too difficult to access in the current format. You have to first click map in motion and then the classic map box.830 votes
What about enabling push notifications for your current location for traveling users. So you don't get weather warnings for set places.

Barometer readings
Please bring back current barometer readings for those of us who are affected by the weather. A chart like the current temp readings that is on front page currently would be great!635 votes
We have updated the local Right Now (current conditions) page to include barometric pressure. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will continue using www.weather.com as your weather information source.
Thank you for your patience.

Archive rainfall data
Would like to see lots of historical data available. When I click on "details" I get last 24 hrs rainfaii, but is this updated each hour or every few hours???? Want to put in a date range and see daily totals for rainfall, snowfall, pollen count, etc. offer in both table form and graph form.584 votes
Bring back the local on the 8's. I don't care about the weather that is across the country.
I watch local on the 8's to see my area weather. We have had tornado warnings here in the last couple weeks and I shoot for local on the 8's to see floridas weather? If there is a local warning your local office should be putting out local info and warnings. That was why you started you should MAINTAIN THAT.556 votes
Improve pollen reports and forecast
It is hard to find pollen levels on your site. My family suffers from pollen allergies and I would like to see this information when I check the weather.538 votes
Please give an option to restore the forecasts to a horizontal view.
The 5- and 10-day forecasts used to display horizontally. The vertical display is really counter-intuitive when you're looking for weather trends over the course of a week. I can only imagine this was implemented for mobile device use, but when viewing on an actual computer website there should be an option to view horizontally to avoid scrolling down.531 votes
