Updated from 10 a.m. EST Jan. 24, 2014 with latest performer information for Grammys tribute
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Come Feb. 9, the world will unite in a tribute to one of the seminal events of the Baby Boom generation, one that marks the beginning of a long and important decade of such tributes.
On that night, a special Grammy Awards ceremony will air, honoring of the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, on Feb. 9, 1964, with a concert that includes a reunion performance by the two surviving members of the band.
The Ed Sullivan Show performance instantly catapulted the already successful Beatles to the status of U.S. royalty and secured the band their spot as the world's leading pop act, which they held seemingly effortlessly for the next six years. Driven by a teenage Beatlemania contagion, the appearance also marked the moment when popular culture offered up its best champion for the battle between the generations that was to help define the rest of the decade.
"The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles," taped live Monday, Jan. 27, the day after the Grammy Awards proper, will be broadcast on CBS (CBS - Get Report) in HDTV and surround sound at 8 p.m. on Feb. 9, 50 years to the day and to the hour of the original Ed Sullivan broadcast. Among the highlights of the broadcast will be a reunion performance by surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Yoko Ono, wife of Beatle John Lennon, who was murdered by a deranged fan in 1980, will also be there, along with Olivia Harrison, wife of the George Harrison, who died of cancer in 2001.The Grammys on Feb. 7 confirmed via a press release that the two surviving Beatles will perform together. As if a reunion of living Beatles wasn't enough, the announced list of performers for the broadcast also includes a reunion of the Eurythmics duo Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart, plus appearances by Maroon 5, Alicia Keys with John Legend, and John Mayer with Keith Urban. Stevie Wonder, Jeff Lynne, Imagine Dragons and actor Sean Penn, are also confirmed to have made appearances in the prerecorded celebration. Late Night host David Letterman, whose show occupies the same theater as the old Ed Sullivan Show, also makes an appearance. A lineup of performers paying their respects to the Beatles could, by rights, include nearly every performing musician today. It would be hard to find any untouched by the Beatles' legacy. In a word, the Beatles were the biggest thing to ever hit the charts.
The band was already wildly popular in it's native Britain, where the act played a Command Performance for the Queen in November 1963. But coming to the U.S. meant opening up a vast new audience. It also meant competing in a market that had spawned many of the band members' biggest influences: Little Richard, Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, and Buddy Holly, along with girl groups like the Shirelles and the Marvellettes. George Harrison, the only Beatle to have been to America before the 1964 visit by the band, reportedly said, "they already have everything there, what do they need us for?" By December of 1963, the single I Want to Hold Your Hand had gotten into the hands of U.S. disc jockeys. Noting the ramping popularity, Capitol Records ahead of schedule released the band's first U.S. album, Meet the Beatles in late December 1963. It sold 250,000 copies in three days. Within a month, the album had sold over a million copies. The Beatles' arrival Feb. 7, 1964 at Kennedy Airport was attended by reporters and a mob of thousands of fans.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sunshine Village's communications to Parks Canada only serve to further confuse public safety timelines of January 19th, 2011.
When it comes to issues of public and workplace safety comunications at Sunshine Village Ski and Snowboard Resort there is no excuse for anything but the truth at all times. The company should be held to an exacting standard of corporate conduct as a condition of its lease. This is especially applicable when the issue is about the safety of people's lives and well-being in Canada's premier national park. Not only do park visitors, customers, employees and government agencies deserve honesty but it's also a legal obligation.
So has the Sunshine Village management been honest, forthright and truthful with all groups regarding the events and safety issues of January 19, 2011 ?
honorable in principles, intentions, and actions; upright and fair: an honest person.
To lie is to hold something which one knows is not the whole truth to be the whole truth, intentionally.
On the day in question Doug Firby (Sunshine media handler) spoke to the media about a patrol "walkout" that day and expressed the company's surprise about the whole thing. Firby told the media that Sunshine Village had no knowledge of what he termed "morale issues" raised by the patrollers. He said that Sunshine took the patrollers "at their word" (such irony), hoped they all got well soon and came back to work. He encouraged them to speak to management promising they would be heard and all would be well again. The next day, when the patrollers took Firby at his word, two of them were fired when they returned to work and the rest were questioned and threatened.
Sunshine Village Watch has previously shown that at the same time that Doug Firby was presenting this disarming official corporate line to the media, an internal email from Steve Novak (Aramark's Sunshine Village GM) showed what the management actually knew about the "issues" and instructed the resort's Food and Beverage staff to lie about it to Sunshine's paying customers. Novak attributes this lie to "Sunshine management" (an interesting example of their management and leadership style). So while many of Sunshine's professional ski patrollers, in the midst of unprecedented peak-season department changes, were taking desperate measures to get attention to their immediate safety concerns, Sunshine was telling resort staff to lie to Sunshine's customers and tell them it's an "unexpected lift interruption". The email claims that Sunshine's paying guests didn't need to know the truth of the matter.
Then Parks Canada got involved. Parks Canada is the federal government agency charged with administering the lease provisions including those that are meant to ensure that public safety requirements are met (paragraph 29). The expectation of all Canadians is that even if the private corporation is off-track, Parks Canada will ensure safety standards are upheld. The emails and letters to Parks Canada show that Ken Derpak (then Sunshine Village GM, VP of Operations and acting Mountain Manager) came up with his own version of the timeline of events in his communications to then Banff Superintendent Van Tighem.
In his amusingly petulant letter of March 4th, 2011 Derpak states that Sunshine called Alberta's lift regulatory agency AEDARSA on the morning of January 19th "prior to opening" and discussed Sunshine's operating plan with them. So presumably well before Doug Firby was telling the media his "we know nothing" story later that day, we have Ken Derpak claiming to discuss an alternative, presumably detailed and hopefully written gondola evacuation plan with AEDARSA before opening the gondola to employees arriving for work that morning (usually at 7:30am). He must have been moving very fast, very early that morning to ensure that "all necessary safety precautions" were addressed as per the lease requirement, which of course is strange given that Doug Firby said they "knew nothing" and so consequently would have known nothing until patrollers didn't show for work (usually around 7:30am).
In the same letter Derpak tells Parks Canada that Sunshine had already made a back-up plan and contracted with Rodney Gair and Lifeskill Rescue Services prior to January 19, 2011. In his email of January 21, 2011 Derpak included a written note from Rodney Gair that was coincidentally dated January 19, 2011 and stated that Lifeskill had agreed to provide services that week with "immediate effect". So is it just coincidence that Derpak had developed an arrangement that very week with Gair supposedly prior to January 19th when Firby later says the company knew nothing of any "morale issues" with the patrollers?
Does any of this really matter? The answer is YES, it really does! Very much! When fully loaded, the Sunshine Village gondola carries more people through the air than many commercial airplanes and there's plenty that can and does go wrong. Evacuating the full length of the gondola (both sides) would be an extremely challenging public safety emergency requiring precise site-specific planning, training and implementation. You don't make this stuff up on-the-fly on the back of a breakfast napkin. In his letter, Derpak is making formal representations on behalf of Sunshine Village to a formal inquiry from the federal agency charged with ensuring public safety in Banff National Park. What Sunshine management knew, when it knew, what actions it took and why it took them all needs to be very clear and transparent. Under examination here is the ability of Sunshine Village to make appropriate public safety decisions for park visitors even when they may negatively impact the corporations profit and image. Unfortunately Derpak's unsubstantive letter only raises more questions about that.
It is appropriate for Sunshine Village to publicly clarify exactly who Derpak spoke to at AEDARSA and exactly when the communication occurred. This information can then be verified with AEDARSA (surely both sides documented such a discussion?). Derpak should also provide the written evidence of the comprehensive alternative gondola evacuation plan that he discussed with AEDARSA that morning , which apparently replaced the standard procedure that day, and which was presumably and verifiably distributed to ALL managers, dispatch and key response staff PRIOR to opening the gondola to Sunshine staff that morning (yes even employees on their way to work are people too). Those documents would begin to support Derpak's version of events and even explain (maybe) his disrespectful and petulant manner. They would also help to establish Sunshine Village's compliance on January 19th, 2011 with AEDARSA's public safety ski lift regulations (CSA Z98 Code) and the Parks Canada lease obligations.
Without that definitive supporting evidence Derpak has simply added more puffery to a tangled web of words. However in unexpected balance, the email from Steve Novak to his F&B staff was quite clear. Sunshine management was certainly lying to their customers that day – Novak, to his credit, was refreshingly honest about that fact. The question now is, if they will lie to their customers, are they being honest with Parks Canada?

HELSINKI, December 19, 2011 ― There is ongoing discussion about whether use of cell phones leads to an increase in the rate of brain cancer, and the public is seeking answers.
Is there an increase in the number of cases of brain cancer in the population over the last several years? What is the individual cellphone user's risk? What are the risks for society as a whole?
These are important questions. Based on the current science, following are the best answers:
Is there an increase in brain cancer cases in the Scandinavian populace?
Scandinavian countries, not without the reason, pride themselves for the best cancer registries in the world. The Cancer Registry in Finland, my home country, provides insights into the number of brain cancer cases among the Finns.
The graph presented above, which has been generated by the Finnish Cancer Registry, shows a steady increase in brain and nervous system cancer cases among Finnish women and, to a lesser extent, among Finnish men.
Therefore, the "urban legend" that there has been no increase in brain cancer cases in recent years should be put to rest. Of course there may be country-to-country differences. For example, news programs have recently discussed a steady increase in brain cancer cases in
While the data demonstrate an increased incidence of brain cancer in some countries, we should remain cautious and not jump to the easy conclusion that cell phone radiation is responsible. Cell phone radiation may be the cause for the increase, but there have been other changes to the way we live and our environment, and so it might not be.
Unfortunately, the two largest epidemiology studies, the Interphone and the Danish Cohort, designed to provide us with the necessary information on the link between cell phone radiation and brain cancer have serious design flaws, making their findings uncertain.
If we assume, as some studies suggest, that cell phone radiation causes cancer, then the second question is: What is the cancer risk for the individual cell phone user?
If we look at the results of the Interphone study as published, without the interpretation provided by the authors, the data suggest that talking on mobile phone for 30 minutes per day for 10 years might increase the risk of the brain cancer 1.4-fold, that is, by 40%.
Studies from the Swedish group of Hardell and co-workers show the highest risk of brain cancer among the persons who used cell phones longer than ten years. For that group, the risk increases 2.7-fold, or by 170%.
How do these increases translate into potential cancer cases using statistics from the Finnish Cancer Registry?
The latest published statistics of cancers of the brain and central nervous system says that in Finnish men, the age-adjusted rate of brain cancer for years 2005-2007 is 11.2 cases/100,000 and the rate for Finnish women is 13.3 cases/100,000.
The Interphone study indicating a 40% increase would bring these numbers for men and for women to 15.7/100,000 and 18.6/100,000, respectively.
The Hardell and co-workers study indicating 170% increase would bring these numbers for men and for women to 30.2/100,000 and 35.9/100,000, respectively.
So, in both cases, the increase of the individual risk is not very high and brain cancer remains a rare disease.
The last question is, how would the increase of brain cancer cases impact society?
From the viewpoint of society, the financial burden caused by the additional cancer cases (costs of medical treatment, lost productivity, monetary and non-monetary burden for the families) could be significant.
According to the Finnish Cancer Registry, the number of newly diagnosed brain and central nervous system cancer cases in 2007 was 372 in men and 561 in women.
A 40% increase would mean that there would be an additional 149 cases among the Finnish men (total of 521 cases) and an additional 224 cases among the Finnish women (total of 785 cases). That means an additional burden of 373 brain cancer cases for the health system and the families.
A 170% increase would mean that there would be an additional 632 cases among the Finnish men (total of 1004 cases) and an additional 953 cases among the Finnish women (total of 1515 cases). It means that there would be an additional burden of 1585 brain cancer cases for the health system.
The population of Finland is approximately 5.4 million. To put things in a better perspective: the population of
It all means that the burden for the society might be sizable, if it materializes.
However, the Interphone and Hardell and co-workers studies require independent confirmation. The major problem in both studies is that the number of cell phone users who used phones for more than ten years was relatively low. This makes statistical evaluation uncertain.
Take home message: Individual risk is relatively small, but the risk for the society might be costly.
Therefore, before we know more, it is better to use precaution and limit exposures to cell phone radiation by:
- limiting the non-essential cell phone use by the children,
- using landlines whenever possible, especially for longer calls,
- limiting the length of cell phone calls,
- texting whenever possible,
- using the speakerphone function,
- using earphones
- keeping cell phones out of the pockets.

Get inspired
The holy grail of Vintage.
This is Greg, he's kind of underground. He knows and does vintage better than most and he certainly has more grade-A vintage than anyone else. Chances are, the vintage-inspired trends that have caught on in the last 10-years and beyond have started with him and his web-store VINTAGE TRENDS. While the site may be a bit antiquated, don't let that fool you. Take a look around, do a little digging…he's the first one doing on-line vintage, longer than anyone else, and besides the fact that he's too busy 'picking' the good stuff for you to buy than making things look pretty. The 'Nasty Gals' of the world all took cues from Vintage Trends. The web-site is a no-frills, no-hype portal into a vintage goldmine that specializes in Military and Tactical. It's no bullshit, just a good, insanely deep selection of vintage. That authentic WWII M-65 or MA1, or vintage Stadium Jacket…Greg has them all in every size, in all colors (notice the bails of unpacked goods in photo)….for VERY reasonable prices, take my word for it. Go to Vintage Trends, do a little digging – if you like vintage you'll find what you're looking for, and the price you like.

7. Cute Loot Achievement/Trophy
To unlock this Achievement/Trophy, you'll want to find and kill a rare "Chubby" monster, whose death will also net you some special loot.
To find one, fast travel to the Highlands and head through the tunnel on your left. If you're lucky, Chubby will be hanging around near Blake Bridge, but he only comes out infrequently and at night, so if he hasn't spawned, try again after completing a few missions.
8. Unlimited Eridium
Eridium is great. Not only does it augment elemental powers, it's also used as a currency to buy upgrades on the black market. If you're feeling like a bit of a cheat and want an infinite supply, head to Three Horns valley and go north to the hideout where you fight Bad Maw. Kill him and pick up the Eridium he drops. Go into the Bloodshot Stronghold, save and then quit. Go back to Three Horns Valley and exterminate Bad Maw once again. Repeat until you get bored, or Gearbox patch the game.
9. Obtain the Nova Shield and get easy Badass Points
We're irrationally fond of Nova damage, and it just so happens that there's a Level 9 shield that gives you all the Nova damage you could ever want. Simply complete Lilith's Firehawk missions (which begin in Sanctuary) and you get a shield that blasts out a fiery shockwave when depleted. The great thing is that the shockwave often ignites enemies, so if you get knocked down while they're flailing around, there's a good chance that they'll expire in time to trigger a second wind.
The other great thing about this shield is that, with enemies being incinerated left right and centre, your "Cowering Inferno" challenge will be maxed out in no time.

Use Crayola® Fabric Crayons to make a class quilt!
A teacher or parent volunteers prepare fabric quilt squares. Use white or light-colored, prewashed 100% synthetic fabric or fabric blends with at least 60% synthetic fibers. Cut fabric into the desired quilt-square size.
Students measure and cut paper squares the same size as the quilt squares, using Crayola Scissors. This paper is called a dye sheet, and will be used to transfer the design (in reverse) to the quilt fabric.
Draw designs and/or write words on the dye sheet with Crayola Fabric Crayons. Remember, letters must be written backward. To make this easier to do, draw letters with a black Crayola Washable Marker on the back of the dye sheet. Turn over, and fill in the backward letters. When ironed on, the words will be readable.
Blend and mix fabric crayon colors. For example, magenta and orange can be blended to make red. For texture, leave crayon crumbs on the dye sheet. For sharper images, brush crumbs off.
Place a pad of recycled newspaper on a safe ironing surface in a well-ventilated area. Cover the recycled newspaper with white paper. Place a decorated dye sheet face down on the quilt fabric. Cover with a second sheet of white paper.
Adults should do the ironing. Set the iron to NO steam and COTTON. Slowly press on the entire design with steady pressure. Lift the iron to move to other areas. When the design begins to show through the back of the dye sheet, check the color transfer by carefully lifting one corner of the dye sheet. Repeat to transfer all designs. Sew the quilt pieces together.
Decorated squares and quilts can be machine washed and ironed. Do not bleach and do not place in a dryer.

Crustless Courgette, Mint and Feta Tart
September 16, 2013 in savoury tarts and pies, Vegetables
Do not be put off that this comes across as an ordinary boring sounding dish – the combination of ingredients in this recipe with the use of herbs and lemon take this to another level. It's a delightful tasty dish and the recipe is from our local cookbook author, Jane-Anne Hobbs. I enjoy her dishes – it's always packed with the most interesting flavours which obviously is my kind of food.
Taking pictures was an afterthought on a busy day.
Crustless Courgette, Mint and Feta Tart
12 courgettes, topped and tailed
a little lemon juice
3 T (45 ml) butter
1 T (15 ml) olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and finely grated
4 large free-range eggs
½ cup (125 ml) natural yoghurt
½ cup (125 ml) cream
a handful of finely chopped fresh mint (about 3 T / 45ml)
2 T (30 ml) finely chopped fresh dill
1½ cups (375 ml) crumbled feta cheese
the finely grated zest of half a lemon
½ cup (125 ml) flour
1 tsp (5 ml) baking powder
salt and milled black pepper
To top:
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
Grate the courgettes on the coarse side of a cheese grater and sprinkle with a little lemon juice.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic and the grated courgette. Fry over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until the courgette has wilted slightly and any excess liquid has evaporated.
Tip into a large bowl and allow to cool slightly.
Whisk together the eggs, yoghurt and cream.
Add the mixture to the courgettes, along with all the remaining filling ingredients.
Stir well to combine.
Tip the mixture into a well-greased oven proof dish.
Press the cherry-tomato halves into the filling, cut side up.
Bake at 180 ºC for 30-40 minutes, or until slightly puffed and golden, and just set in the middle.

Pirates Take Final Warm-Up
Pirates 4, Phillies 1
The Pirates appreciated the warmer temperatures this afternoon — warmer than last night, anyway. They held the Phillies to just 2 hits, and starter Charlie Morton gave up only one unearned run in 5 innings, as they won the second of two pre-season games in Philadelphia.
A throwing error by 3B Pedro Alvarez put the first Phillies' batter on base in the bottom of the 2nd inning. Two ground outs moved the runner to third, then brought him in. Morton worked around a single and a walk in the 1st and another walk in the 3rd. He made an error in the 5th, when he missed the catch on a toss from 1B Steve Pearce, but worked around that too. When Morton was done, Mike Crotta and Chris Resop each pitched a perfect inning. Joel Hanrahan pitched the 8th and allowed a two-out triple, but left the runner standing on third. Jared Hughes pitched a scoreless 9th, with a walk.
The Pirates scored two in the top of the 2nd, when 1B Lyle Overbay doubled, then Alvarez blasted a home run over the right center field wall. Steve Pearce doubled to lead off the 6th. He moved to second on a ground out, then scored on 3B Jordy Mercer's RBI single. The Pirates added an insurance run in the 9th. SS Josh Rodriguez singled, then pinch-hitter Josh Harrison moved him to third with another single. LF John Bowker drove in Rodriguez with a sacrifice fly.
2B Brian Friday also singled in the game, and CF Starling Marte got into the game as well.
The Indy Indians were scheduled to play the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Bradenton this afternoon.
Pearce Is On, Pirates Win On Error
Pirates 5, Rays 4
The Pirates won on a walk-off error in the bottom of the 9th inning this afternoon in Bradenton. Pittsburgh had been leading 4-3 going into the top of the 9th, but a solo homer by Rays' John Jaso tied the score, and made reliever Chris Leroux the victim of a Blown Save. In the bottom of the inning, 2B Josh Rodriguez walked with one out. A ground out moved Rodriguez to second. CF Pedro Ciriaco grounded to third for what should have been the final out of the game, but Rays 3B Daniel Mayora made a wild throw to first, and the ball got away, Ciriaco had been off and running, and he rounded third and scored on the error to give the Pirates the win.
The Rays had scored in the 2nd inning on a solo homer, and also began the 5th inning with a solo homer, both off Pirates' starter Paul Maholm. After the homer in the 5th, Maholm gave up another run on a double an an RBI single. Joel Hanrahan pitched two hitless and scoreless innings, working around a fielding error by 1B Lyle Overbay in the 7th. Leroux was credited with the win.
The Pirates tied the score at 1-1 with a run in the bottom of the 3rd. 2B Neil Walker tripled to the wall in center field, then scored on CF Andrew McCutchen's ground out. When the Rays took a 3-1 lead in the top of the 5th, LF Jose Tabata got the Pirates a run closer with a solo homer in the bottom of the inning. The Pirates took a 4-3 lead in the 6th, when McCutchen led off with a walk. RF Matt Diaz grounded into a force out, replacing McCutchen at first. Diaz moved to third base on 3B Pedro Alvarez's line drive double, and both Diaz and Alvarez both scored on C Ryan Doumit's single lined into center field.
Steve Pearce was officially informed that he will begin the season on the Pirates' 25-man active roster. John Bowker, who had a pinch-hit single in the 7th inning today, is still on the bubble, and his fate will probably be decided by what the Pirates do about their catchers — two or three catchers on the active roster?
The Indianapolis Indians had a day off today. They have 6 more spring training games, with their last next Saturday.
Other news: Former Pirate Nyjer Morgan was traded from the Washington Nationals to the Milwaukee Brewers today.
Crotta Gives Up A Run, More Reassignments
Yankees 4, Pirates 2
Reliever Mike Crotta, who had not given up a run up 'til today, surrendered his first spring training run this afternoon in Tampa. Crotta came on to pitch the final inning, with the Yankees already ahead 3-2. He gave up a single, a sacrifice bunt, and another single, for the Yankees' final run of the game. Crotta is still in the running for a bullpen spot with the Pirates.
The Yankees got onto the scoreboard first, with a 2-run homer by Alex Rodriguez in the bottom of the 1st inning off starter Kevin Correia. Correia sailed through the next two innings, then gave up another run in the 4th on a walk and two singles. He gave up only one more hit in the next two innings, finishing his afternoon with 6 innings, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Jose Veras pitched a scoreless 7th inning.
The Pirates scored one run in the 2nd inning, when 3B Pedro Alvarez led off with a walk and C Jason Jaramillo doubled him in. LF Jose Tabata smacked a triple in the 5th inning, and scored on 2B Neil Walker's sacrifice fly, for the Pirates' second run. The Pirates posted 10 hits in the game, but did not score again — 8 runners were left on base. Manager Clint Hurdle indicated that today's lineup is what he expects to be his regular starting lineup, and today most of those position players were in for the entire game. SS Ronny Cedeno came out of the game in a double-switch in the bottom of the 8th, and Josh Rodriguez entered the game. Rodriguez lined a single in the top of the 9th, but was left on base.
The Pirates have two more games in Florida (at McKechnie Field against the Rays on Sunday, and in Ft. Myers against the Twins on Monday. Then they will play two games in Philadelphia on Tuesday and Wednesday, before heading to Chicago to begin the regular season next Friday.
The Pirates reassigned four more players to minor league camp this morning: P Brian Burres, C Dusty Brown, INF Andy Marte, and INF Corey Wimberly. Moving Marte to minor league camp is encouraging for Steve Pearce, who is now nearly assured a bench spot on the major league team.
S/W-B Yankees 6, Indy Indians 5
The Indians faced New York Yankees' pitcher CC Sabathia this afternoon in a AAA spring training game against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Tampa this afternoon. They hit 5 singles off Sabathia in three innings, but could not bring any of those base runners around to score. James McDonald came from the Pirates' big league camp to make a start for the Indians. He gave up one run on 4 hits in his 3 innings. The Indians scored a run in the 6th inning on Alex Presley's sacrifice fly. Josh Fields, who went 2-for-3 in the game, doubled in a run in the 7th, then Jim Negrych followed with a 2-run homer. The Indians were leading 5-2 going into the bottom of the 8th. The Yankees tied the score in the bottom of the frame with 3 runs on a pair of doubles. Then in the bottom of the 9th, the Yankees scored with a 2-out single to take the win.
Sketchy reports from two other games:
On Thursday, the Indians lost to the Las Vegas 51's by a score of 5-3, despite home runs by Chase d'Arnaud and Alex Presley.
On Friday, the Indians and the S/W-B Yankees played to a 1-1 tie. Rudy Owens pitched 4 innings for the Indians, and struck out 6 batters.
Walker Goes 4-For-4 But Pirates Fall
Orioles 11, Pirates 7
The Orioles pounded out 15 hits, including 3 homers, to the Pirates' 8 hits (and 4 home runs) this evening, as the Pirates lost in Sarasota, Florida. 2B Neil Walker took care of half of the hits and half of the homers for the Pirates — he homered in the 1st inning, singled in the 3rd, homered again in the 6th (both solo homers), and singled in the 8th.
The Pirates got onto the scoreboard in the top of the 1st, with back-to-back homers by 1B Lyle Overbay (2 runs) and Walker. Starter Ross Ohlendorf worked around a single in the bottom of the 1st, but gave up two solo homers in the bottom of the 2nd, then an unearned run in the 3rd on an error, a single, and a sacrifice fly.
The 3-3 tie lasted until the bottom of the 5th, when the Orioles got to Ohlendorf with a 2-run homer, a double, and a walk. Evan Meek relieved Ohlendorf with two outs and runners on first and second. The first batter Meek faced, former Indy Indian JJ Hardy, singled in a run, to give the Orioles a 6-3 lead. The Pirates got one run back with Walker's second homer in the top of the 6th, but the Orioles scored 2 more unearned runs off Meek in the bottom of the frame. Garrett Olson came in to pitch the 7th inning and allowed 3 more Orioles' runs, with a walk, a double, a sacrifice fly, and an RBI single.
The Pirates rallied for a run in the 8th, on a lead-off walk by Overbay, and singles by Walker and 3B Pedro Alvarez. They added another 2 runs in the top of the 9th when SS Josh Rodriguez blasted a 2-run homer.
Chris Leroux pitched a 1-2-3 8th inning for the Pirates. Pedro Ciriaco got another two innings in at center field, where he made some outs. Also in the game: pinch-hitter Steve Pearce, pinch-hitter/LF John Bowker.
The Indy Indians were scheduled to play a game against the Las Vegas 51's in Bradenton this afternoon. No results available at this point.
Last season's 2nd round draft pick Stetson Allie pitched in an intrasquad game at Pirate City this afternoon. In two innings, he allowed 3 runs on 2 hits and 3 walks.
Other notes:
The Pirates released, then immediately re-signed OF Austin McClune. Not sure what that was about.
Former Pirate pitcher Oliver Perez, who was released by the Mets on Monday, signed a minor league contract with the Nationals yesterday.
Homers for Alvarez and McCutchen In Pirates' Loss
Astros 10, Pirates 6
The Astros and the Pirates had a hit-fest this afternoon in Bradenton, combining for 30 hits (14 for the Pirates). But even with a solo homer by 3B Pedro Alvarez and a 2-run blast by CF Andrew McCutchen, it wasn't enough for the Pirates to take the win. Starter Brian Burres struggled trhough 5 innings and gave up 6 runs on 10 hits. The Astros jumped right on Burres in the top of the 1st, scoring 2 runs on a single, a walk, an RBI double, and a sacrifice fly. McCutchen tied the score with his homer in the bottom of the 1st. The Pirates took the lead in the 2nd inning, when C Ryan Doumit led off with a single up the middle. SS Ronny Cedeno doubled, putting two runners into scoring position. Burres chopped an infield grounder that let Doumit score, and LF Jose Tabata's sacrifice fly brought in Cedeno. But the Astros kept coming at Burres, with a solo homer in the top of the 3rd, then 3 more runs in the 5th. Two singles and a fielding error by RF Matt Diaz tied the score, and a double and a sacrifice fly drove in 2 more runs, to give the Astros a 6-4 lead. Alvarez's homer got the Pirates within one run again in the bottom of . 2B Neil Walker got the run back in the bottom of the frame with a double, scoring on a single and a sacrifice fly by 1B Lyle Overbay. The Astros put the game away in the top of the 9th. With Tyler Yates on the mound, three consecutive singles, a double, and a sacrifice fly gave the Astros 3 more runs.
Chris Resop gave up a double but kept the Astros from scoring in the 8th inning. Mike Crotta pitched a perfect 6th inning, continuing his scoreless streak for the spring. 2B Pedro Ciriaco singled and pinch-hitter Steve Pearce doubled in the game, both boosting their cause as they try to make the Opening Day roster. LF John Bowker, CF Corey Wimberly, C Dusty Brown, and SS Josh Rodriguez all got into the game.
The Indianapolis Indians did not have a scheduled game today.
The members of the 2010 Altoona Curve were presented with their championship rings before the Pirates' game today.

My sis has stayed on concierge floors in multiple resorts at Disney and actually throughout the real world. Being my sis, I've had a couple of WDW experiences with their concierge level with the bonus of not having to pay for it. I've only stayed myself at the concierge at the Portofino at Universal. Nice! You do need a larger tip allowance in your budget though.
From what I've seen it is a waste if you are open to close, plow through the parks. You miss everything the club level offers. Now if you tour the parks the way you did in your last trip report, it might be nice for your anniversary. Note, the concierge really is not a help with dining ressies that you can't do on your own. They are not like the dudes at the Ritz with connections.
There is always coffee, juices in the morning. Real coffee! Plus the one cup stuff. A decent spread of the usual stuff set out for a quick breakfast. Would be good enough for me and I could then spend my dining credits for dinner and lunch.
The common club room is OK, depends on who is in there with you. A few comfy couches and chairs, kids and adult TV. A few times I was up there you'd think it was a playground for how parents let their kids run off steam in that room. Other times, nobody. Kinda cool to look down at busy lobby and have a peaceful break from the hustle and yet quietly observe.
Now if you come back for a break in the afternoon there are hoursdouvres. The hot ones I had were good or OK, not over the top,
hit the spot and held us all over until a later dinner. They had several wines and beers. Wine choices great for me, hubby and BIL, more fussy about beers. Cheese was yummy.
At night Sis said they did the typical turn down, turn on a light, chocolate of course. Fridge did have some of the lounge staples of coke, water etc. The Fridge was a bigger deal before they were standard in most WDW rooms.
Basically if you have the extra money for the splurge and tour like you did on your last visit, you'll likely enjoy the special treat.

Tonight I was at a fundraiser for my heartthrob organization, Transportation Alternatives, where I heard the former mayor of Bogota, Columbia, Enrique Penalosa speak. According to the Project for Public Spaces:
Tonight, Penalosa said that he had seen countries where the poor people had no clean water to drink, and yet there were highways upon which rich people could drive because the people with money and power get what they want while the poor stay thirsty.
Similarly, he said he had seen transportation systems where poor people had to walk or bike unprotected on highways and risk being killed because figuring out how to move poor people who had to walk was less important than figuring out how to move rich people who had fancy cars.
That is not civilized.
A country's transportation systems, Penalosa said, should be designed to maximize the happiness of the people who live in it. A country that attempts to maximize the happiness and quality of life of its citizens? Now that is civilized.
And by that criterion, he said, what marks a country as civilized is not a good system of highways. Instead, what marks a country as civilized is a good system of sidewalks.

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
Cataracts—an opaque buildup of damaged proteins in the lens of the eye—are the leading cause of visual decline in those over 65. In fact, most people in that age group have at least the beginnings of cataract formation. Many factors contribute to the development of cataracts, but damage by free radicals is believed to play a major role. (See the article on Atherosclerosis for a description of free radicals.)
Cataracts can be removed surgically. Although this has become a relatively quick, safe, easy, and painless surgery, it does not result in completely normal vision. Clearly, preventing cataracts, if possible, would be preferable.
Numerous observational studies suggest that high intake of antioxidants —such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenoids ( beta-carotene, lutein, astaxanthin and lycopene—are associated with a reduced incidence of cataracts.1-11,17 However, this by itself does not prove that the use of antioxidant supplements can prevent cataracts. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can do that. (For information on why the double-blind design is so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?) Unfortunately, the results of several large studies of this type were not encouraging.
In an enormous, double-blind, placebo-controlled trail involving almost 40,000 female healthcare professionals, use of natural vitamin Eat a dose of 600 mg every other day over a 10-year period failed to have any effect on cataract development.18
In another large, 8-year trial, 11,545 physicians aged 50 years and older were randomized to four different treatment groups: vitamin E (400 units) every other day plus vitamin C (500 mg) daily, vitamin E every other day plus placebo daily, vitamin C daily plus placebo, or placebo only.20 Neither vitamins E or C had any significant effect on preventing cataracts.
And, in a similar trial, 4,629 older people received either placebo or an antioxidant supplement containing 500 mg of vitamin C, 400 IU of vitamin E, and 15 mg of beta-carotene. The results over more than 6 years showed no effect on the risk of development of cataracts, nor the rate at which existing cataracts progressed to greater severity.12
A 5-year double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 798 people in Southern India failed to find benefit with supplemental antioxidants, despite the fact that dietary antioxidant deficiency was common among the people studied.16
In addition, a previous double-blind, placebo-controlled study examining the use of beta-carotene or vitamin E alone in male smokers failed to find the supplements effective.13 On a more positive note, though, one large study found that beta-carotene supplements helped prevent cataracts in the subgroup of study participants who smoked.14 However, no benefits were seen in the group as a whole. In any case, people who smoke are generally not advised to take extra beta-carotene. (For the reasons behind this concern, see the Beta-carotene article.)
In another long-term study involving over 1,000 older adults, multivitamin and minerals supplements led to a significant decrease in the development of cataracts compared to placebo over a 9-year period. However, these favorable results were tempered by an inexplicable increase in the number of a subtype of cataracts (posterior subcapsular) occurring among those taking the multivitamin/mineral supplements.19
A very small, 2-year study found some evidence that luteinmay improve visual function in people who already have cataracts.15

Ester was born in Malang, East Java, where she was given the name Sim Ai Ling. Although she mixed with children of other backgrounds in her home neighborhood, she became aware, at a very young age, of racist attitudes and of being treated as "different." In the 1980s, her family moved to Jakarta, where Ester attended senior high school and became involved in student activism. She chose to study law at the University of Indonesia with the blessings of her father, a progressive-minded teacher who encouraged her to work to defend the poor.
After completing her university studies, Ester joined the staff of Lembaga Bantuan Hukum (LBH) in Jakarta, the leading organization in Indonesia using the law and legal services to promote human rights. At LBH, she became deeply involved in a case concerning the brutal assault upon the headquarters of the opposition party in July 1997. The attack was believed to have been supported by the Soeharto regime. However, under the conditions that then prevailed, the state's culpability could not be proven in court. As Ester pursued her work at LBH, it became increasingly clear to her that the laws themselves were unjust, and that her calling was to work for true legal reform resulting in an equitable legal framework.
When violent riots broke out in Jakarta and other cities in 1998 targeting the ethnic Chinese, Ester and her late husband, activist Arnold Purba, decided to devote their energy towards working to change the paradigm of racism and discrimination embedded in the legal, political, and social systems of Indonesia. They established the organization, Solidaritas Nusa Bangsa and began a wide range of activities. Arnold died suddenly in 2001, and Ester has continued the struggle. As Ester matured at the forefront of this struggle, she developed a strategy based upon working inclusively and reaching out across barriers to many communities. She has engaged a wide range of groups, from Indonesian legislators who once saw these issues as too sensitive to discuss, to Chinese business people who were wary of political activism, to Islamic leaders who once preached against interaction with other groups.
Ester's courage to speak out against the injustice of discrimination has made her an icon among the young, ethnic Chinese who have traditionally been sheltered and steered far from activism and the political arena by their families. Ester has traveled throughout Indonesia giving seminars and workshops to socialize the draft legislation and gain input from a wide group of audiences. She has also traveled internationally for the same purpose, and has participated in several international conferences on racism. She is a prolific writer and has produced numerous articles and books on this topic. Her work and her personal commitment have been recognized with several awards including the prestigious Yap Thiam Hien Award for leading proponents of human rights.

Alsip Police Department's Coffee with a Cop offered the chance for residents to ask questions, voice concerns and get to know the officers in their neighborhoods. | File photo
Updated: January 16, 2014 6:42AM
Coffee with a Cop day went over really well. I'd like to thank George's Diner in Alsip and the Alsip Police Department for taking the time to have coffee with me.
Elaine from Alsip
After 29 years as artistic director and leader of the Luvabulls, Cathy Core was honored at halftime of a Chicago Bulls game. Cathy not only led the Luvabulls but raised millions for charity during her tenure. Cathy is one terrific lady. Congratulations.

If MSNBC political commenter Martin Bashir had to resign for making an insulting remark about former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, then I want to know when somebody is going to resign from Fox News for some of the lies and insults about President Obama.
Here's my message on behalf of all the commuters in Oak Forest: We can say how much we appreciate having to stand out in the cold because our train station still isn't ready. It seems like every other suburb gets a nice new warm station. We still have to stand in the cold because ours isn't finished.
A lot of people are talking badly about Chicago Bulls star Derrick Rose because he hasn't played very much recently due to injury. People have to realize that injuries are part of sports. I bet you they are not criticizing Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Wisconsin. Athletes get injured. Just deal with it. I don't think Rose wanted to get injured again. He is a great player but he can't win a championship when he is recovering from an injury.
I think the Cook County Board should change its name to Crook County Board. We have outgoing commissioner William Beavers in trouble due to corruption. Now we have two ex-cons, Al Sanchez and Isaac Carothers, running for county office.
MTV used to be something everyone watched. I haven't watched "my MTV" in a long time. I think it's turned into the gangsta life, glorifying drugs and guns and keeping women under control for sexual pleasure only to move on like "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone." They want to tape "16 and Pregnant" in Tinley Park? Did you get run out of New York and New Jersey? I think if the Federal Communications Commission wasn't making so much money keeping the government running by selling spectrum space, MTV would have been off the air, fined heavily and put in jail.
Ron from Tinley Park
A commenter said generations who fought in World War II, Korea and Vietnam were more violent than dopes raised on violent video games. While I don't believe we belonged in Vietnam or Korea, WWII was necessary. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler wanted to rule the world. When Pearl Harbor was bombed, Japan forced us into war. While Pearl Harbor day was recently forgotten because South Africa President Nelson Mandela died, maybe the commenter should learn some history. You didn't see the violence after these wars like now. Those soldiers lived the horrors of war, not the imagined horror of a game.
I think Chicago Bears quarterback Josh McCown should get a bonus now for all the good he has done with the team and all the games he has won. Just give him another envelope because he really deserves it. Good luck to the Bears.
Congratulations to coach Bill Smiles and the students at Reavis High School in Burbank for winning the Mathletes contest. They have won the contest for the past nine out of 10 years. Cheers to Reavis High School!

The United States is spending more on education yet our records are nowhere near the top nor the middle compared to other countries. So what are we really getting for our money? Some children are graduating with no skills, working in low-wage jobs and subsidizing themselves with government assistance. I think we can do better than this.
Can anyone explain to the worker bees of this city, as in Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications, why when management screws up, the 24/7 worker gets the punishment? It's not their fault the overtime is so high. Changing their shifts is not going to save anything. It will make it worse. Remember that when you're home with your families during the holidays and we're there 24/7, away from ours while protecting yours.
I think the Affordable Care Act would be good if it was affordable and they were honest about it, but now we have to look at the effects of it and it's not so good.
To the person who made the comment about foggy windows: Try turning on the defroster with a broken heater core, you know, that thing that only costs $1,000 to fix. You know what they say when you assume something.
The U.S. congressional approval rating average for 2013 was recently 14 percent. My idea to jump-start and get the rating moving in the direction it should be is to get rid of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin. That ought to shave them all up.

I just finished this show today and I loved it.
Lou and Tim mentioned all my favorite queues and I can't wait to go back to WDW and search for all the details I've missed before.
But there's one I think that deserves an honorable mention and that is the Studio Backlot Tour queue! Not the one before Harbor Attack but the one after, where you go inside the prop warehouse before getting on the tram.
I'm not sure this really counts as a queue since you pretty much walk by but there's a lot of interesting props to see so I thought I would give it a mention.
Again, great show!

Tips For Trouble-Free Travel
- December 2013
- Posted By JohnnyG
- 0 Comments
One of the biggest benefits the Internet has given to ordinary consumers is the ability to seek out and book flights and accommodation without needing to use a travel agent. This makes it possible for consumers to put together their own flights and accommodation in the manner they please and at times and prices that suit them. Sites like I Want That Flight make it even easier by showing consumers which airlines are offering the cheapest seats for particular flights. The downside is that there is no friendly agent to warn them about pitfalls, or clear up any legal or documentary requirements that may fall upon them. Travellers need to brush up on these themselves. Here are some things to watch out for.
Many countries require that all non-citizens entering the country must have a visa before they can enter. In some cases, the visa is a mere formality, and is issued at the point of entry. More commonly, visas have to be applied for in advance.
One of the most common misconceptions people have about visas is that once they are issued by a particular country, the holder is entitled to enter that country. This is not the case. Visas are issued by the consular service of a given country, and are based on the information applicants give when they apply for the visa. On arrival in the issuing country, the holder is still obliged to present at Immigration, and an immigration officer could refuse the holder entry and cancel the visa.
Applying for the wrong kind of visa may result in your being refused entry to a country. For example, if you apply for, and are granted, a holiday or tourist visa, but your intention is to look for work, you may be refused entry. This type of refusal could easily happen if a Customs Officer searched you as part of the routine duties, and came across a bunch of job applications, resumes, interview dates, or anything else that might make him or her suspect you were not a bona fide tourist.
Even the fittest and healthiest people may occasionally need hospital and other medical treatment. People can fall over and suffer brain damage, they can develop appendicitis and need immediate and urgent hospitalisation, they can be involved in accidents etc.
Before you travel abroad, make sure you have insurance to cover you should you need emergency medical services. Make sure you bring the necessary contact information with you. When you take out your policy, make sure it includes repatriation cover.
Be careful about what you attempt to bring into foreign countries, or what you bring home when you return from abroad. Drugs like cocaine and heroin are illegal everywhere, and if you are caught with them you can expect a lengthy prison sentence, or even a death sentence in some countries.
You can also get in trouble with customs by bringing in high value goods, or various foodstuffs, wildlife and plants. You can face hefty fines and confiscation of goods if you breach the rules.
If you have any doubts about entitlements, it is best to raise them with customs officers rather than have them raise them with you. Remember that most people run into trouble with customs officers when they return to their home country.
Credit card
Always try to bring a globally recognized credit card when travelling. Without one, you can find yourself in difficulties when unforeseen situations crop up. For example, your flight is postponed 24 hours because of fog, so you need to arrange overnight accommodation. Even though the airline or your travel insurance company may cover you for this, you normally have to pay first and claim the amount back afterwards.
I Want That Flight can get you great flights at great prices, but make sure you plan for contingencies. That way, your dream trip is less likely to turn into a nightmare.

Kevin Slavin:
How algorithms shape our world
We live in a world run by algorithms, computer programs that make decisions or solve problems for us. In this riveting, funny talk, Kevin Slavin shows how modern algorithms determine stock prices, espionage tactics, even the movies you watch. But, he asks: If we depend on complex algorithms to manage our daily decisions — when do we start to lose control?

During the course of this week, the Muslim Council of Britain has received dozens of inquiries from the national, local and even international media about the self-styled 'Muslim Patrol' harassing the residents of Tower Hamlets in London, bringing our faith and community into disrepute.
We have condemned this behaviour, as have our local affiliates and local imams have rejected any Islamic basis for such behaviour.
The truth is, this behaviour is not typical of British Muslim communities in this country.
In these weeks where Britain is getting to grips with snow, we highlight here how British Muslim communities have gone out to help the community around them.
Here is a resident of Leicester, writing to the Leicester Mercury, praising members of Masjid Umar, an MCB affiliate, for clearing the snow for the whole community around them.
And here is a local television news report of Muslims in Newcastle, calling themselves the 'Muslim Snow Patrol', who have come out to clear the snow in the streets of Newcastle.
Dr Shuja Shafi, Deputy Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain said: We urge our affiliates and all local mosques and associations to go out and share their good news stories. Send us your stories for our website, and inspire other Muslim communities, and our fellow Britons.
As the Faith Minister Baroness Warsi mentioned last night, there are sections of the media who insist on pushing a negative narrative of British Muslims. Let's make their job harder by telling our own good news stories.
1. Muslim Council's Ibrahim Mogra condemns self-styled Muslim Patrol
2. MCB affiliate East London Mosque condemns 'Muslim Patrol'
3. Local imam Shaykh Shams Ad Duha repudiate the Islamic rationale for vigilantes

text: @Euroxati - While I can't say that I've had this experience before, I know that it can be very difficult. This can especially be the case if you're self employed. As an example, I have a friend who is an independent contractor. As you may already know, when you're in a position that like, taxes aren't witheld when you get paid, unlike a "normal" position. My friend wasn't aware of this at first, but had to learn the hard way when she started getting letters from the IRS.


text: If they work for the government or a teacher, nurse or military, they could be eligible for a discount at the Swan and Dolphin. Also note that while both resorts offer king size beds I believe only the Swan has queen size beds and the Dolphin has doubles but I would double check that while booking the room. Do they have AAA? you may be able to get a discount with that. Who knows what Disney will plan as far as discounts go for next fall but I guess if you book it now you can apply the discounts later, maybe a buy 4 get 3 free will be in effect. You could also consult a Disney travel agent. Good luck to your friends on their wedding

ANACONDA - A car belonging to a missing Anaconda woman was found abandoned this morning.
At around 6:30 a.m. Friday, Anaconda police received a call from Powell County officials, saying that Tammy Salle's car was found on the Racetrack overpass. Officers responded and found the vehicle with a flat tire and no one around, Anaconda Police Chief Tim Barkell said. The car was towed to a holding facility and, as of 12:15 p.m., police were waiting to receive a search warrant.
Salle, 41, was reported missing after she was last seen by family members on Sunday.
Police are still trying to locate Salle's boyfriend, John Goldberg, for questioning, Barkell said. Police talked to Goldberg on Dec. 26, and he said that he and Salle had gotten into an argument and she left in the car and headed towards Deer Lodge, Barkell said. Barkell added that police checked the couple's home in Anaconda at that time and did not find Salle. Police asked Goldberg to come in to talk to them, but he never did, Barkell said, adding that when they try to call him now, the calls go straight to voicemail.
Police are also looking for Goldberg's vehicle, a 2010 GMC pickup truck, which is blue-gray in color.
Police are now waiting to receive search warrants for the car and home.
Salle is 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs between 140 to 150 pounds. She has brown hair and green eyes.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Anaconda police at 406-563-5241.

After reading and watching Flexmoney's great video instruction at TPI, I got to wondering how to smooth out my reloads.
Tonight I started to practice some at home and wondered what would happen if I rocked my mags in from the front instead of the rear like I always have?
I made a quick video (read: crappy lighting) of 4 reloads each using both methods to compare and was shocked at how much smoother the front rock reloads went.
Is there any reason why this would not be a good way to practice them? I mean, why does everyone seem to rock from the back of the mag?
I'm not hitting the bullets on the front of the mag well, and at first glance I can't see why I shouldn't train this way, but I'm sure I'm missing something. That's why I'm asking here.
The video is of (4) rock from back reloads, then (4) rock from front.
These were done after previously trying each about 6 times before rolling tape. Tonight is the first time I have done the front rock reload, and it looks and felt better than what I'm use to.
I'm interested in what you guys think? Viable?

Protests have continued across Egypt after a verdict was announced in a case over the deaths of more than seventy fans of Egypt's Al-Ahly football club in a stadium massacre on February 1, 2012, in the northern city of Port Said, during a brawl that began minutes after the final whistle of a match between Al-Ahly and opposing side, Al-Masry. 21 fans of the opposing side, Al-Masry, were given the death penalty in the court case, a verdict that must now be approved by Egypt's Grand Mufti. The verdict was handed down during a period of high tension across Egypt, one day after the second anniversary of the beginning of Egypt's 2011 revolution that overthrew former President, Hosni Mubarak.

1. Is Anything Safe?
Technology news today bombards readers with dire warnings about the dangerous, unsafe condition of the Internet, reporting on botnets, identity theft, malware, viruses, trojans and rootkits, just to name a few. Advice ranges from overly simplistic (You be careful out there) to simply wrong (If you use this product, you'll never have a problem) to hopelessly technical (Go in and edit these Registry keys, then run a command line utility, and then…). Most users I speak with either ignore the news or load a favorite browser and ignore the news.
I was inspired to write this article after reading a post to a software security thread that said the poster had switched browsers every two weeks due to announcements in the press that the browser he was currently using had a "fatal flaw" and had now had run out of browsers to use. He was assured by numerous commentors that if he would just use [browser name], everything would be fine, but it struck me that everyone was missing the forest for the trees:
Security is not supplied by the browser. The browser is part of your overall security strategy.
My day job is working for an IT services firm that provides (among other things) security and security consulting to state and local governments in the Western US. One of my responsibilities is to figure out how to keep 35,000+ desktops safe for browsing. My husband is the program manager for a company that develops security products for servers. As a result, I've learned a lot about browsers, operating systems, security software, and various technologies used on the Internet. I've also had to learn a lot about avenues of attack, types of malicious exploits, and how to make your machine an unappealing target.
The purpose of this article is to give HASA visitors some solid information and reasonable steps to take to stay safe while browsing. From visitation statistics for the last year, the most common OS/Browser combination with HASA readers is Windows/IE, quickly followed by Windows/Firefox. The two combinations account for 76%+ of all HASA visitors. Windows users running IE or Firefox will be the focus of this article.
This focus is not meant to slight the other browser and OS combinations used by HASA visitors. There are excellent reasons to prefer OSX or Linux as your operating system, or to prefer one browser over another. This article speaks to HASA visitors about what they are currently using and gives them the knowledge to take proactive steps to secure their systems. The goal is to make your browsing experience secure regardless of your software preferences. No matter what you use while you are browsing, the information in this article will help you increase your online safety. Unless there is a documented security reason, I will not advise you to change to a different product, though I encourage readers to upgrade to more recent versions of their existing products if they are available.
The first four chapters of this article talk about how your computer gets attacked:
The next four chapters discuss system security starting with your operating system, going through system updates, and ending with user management:
- Operating Systems
- OS and Program Updates
- Firewall/Security Software
- Administrators, Standard Users and UAC
There are two chapters addressing PDFs and Flash, which are the two biggest sources of malware delivery on the Internet:
The next four chapters, the bulk of the article, look at the two most popular browsers, Internet Explorer and Firefox, and go step-by-step through how to tighten their security. It ends by explaining how to use your newly secured browser:
The article ends with a list of what steps to take in which order to get the greatest security on your machines, starting with updating your browser version all the way to upgrading your machine to the newest operating system.
I encourage HASA readers to read the entire article first to get a feel for how all the security parts fit together, then walk through the final section "What Do You Do First?" and perform each security step in order and based on what you are able to change on your own system.
