Microsoft Visual Basic ships with the Package and Deployment Wizard (PDW),
a tool designed to aid developers in packaging and deploying their
Microsoft Visual Basic applications. Packages created with the PDW use
compressed cabinet files (.cab files) for distribution. This article
discusses several utilities that may be used to modify, view or manipulate
cabinet files. As well, during the distribution process, problems may arise
when deploying applications to various environments or when testing. This
article also discusses some tools that may be useful for troubleshooting
application deployment issues.

HOWTO: Modify and Rebuild .CAB Files Built with PDW
CabviewCabview is a Windows 95/Windows 98 PowerToy utility that allows you to graphically view and manipulate the contents of a .cab file. Windows 98 has Cabview installed natively as part of the operating system.Cabview provides a graphical view of the contents of a .cab file similar to Windows Explorer. This allows easy file manipulation through drag-and-drop of files to and from the .cab file. To use Cabview, perform the following steps:
Cabarc.exeCabarc.exe is another CAB file manipulation utility. With Cabarc.exe you can create new .cab files, extract files and list the contents of a .cab file. Cabarc.exe does not allow adding additional files to an already existing .cab file, however.Cabarc.exe is available with the CAB Software Development Kit (SDK). Cabarc.exe's best feature is the ability to list information about the files contained within a CAB file in an orderly way (better than Extract.exe). To view the contents of a .cab file with Cabarc.exe, perform the following steps:
Regsvr32.exeRegsvr32.exe allows you to register/un-register DLL and OCX files that are self-registerable. Regsvr32.exe provides rudimentary error codes as well as a silent install option.Regsvr32.exe is installed with Microsoft Visual Basic and can be found in the System (or System32) directory. When used, Regsvr32.exe attempts to load the component and call it's DLLSelfRegister function. If successful Regsvr32.exe displays a dialog indicating success. If the registration fails, Regsvr32.exe returns a basic error code. To use the Regsvr32.exe utility to register a component perform the following steps:
Regocx32.exeRegocx32.exe is used to register ActiveX controls. This utility is designed to work with setup programs and does not offer any user interface. This is helpful when using an installation program/script that needs to shell out to register ActiveX controls.Regocx32.exe ships with Microsoft Visual Basic and is located on the installation CD at the following location:
Copy the file into the System (or System32) folder.
To use the Regocx32.exe utility perform the following steps:
Regit.exeRegit.exe allows you to register DLL and OCX files that are self- registerable. Regit.exe accepts multiple filenames and wildcards, allowing numerous components to be registered at the same time. Regit.exe also provides basic error codes if a component will not register.Regit.exe ships with Microsoft Visual Basic and is located on the installation CD at the following location:
Copy the file into the System (or System32) folder.
To use the Regit.exe utility perform the following steps:
Depends.exeThe Dependency Walker, Depends.exe, is used to determine the explicit dependencies a file has. A dependency is a secondary file, which is necessary for a file to load/run properly. For example, a Microsoft Visual Basic application is dependent upon the Microsoft Visual Basic run-time files.Depends.exe also presents plenty of valuable information about dependent components, such as their export table, internal version number, and so forth. Depends.exe ships with Microsoft Visual Basic and is located on the installation CD's at the following location:
Copy all the files from the Depend folder into the System (or System32)
To use depends.exe, perform the following steps:

Btw I am not sure what patch you are refering to since there is no such patch included with this package in the blfs book, only patches that reslove problems with unicode and the like. I was reluctant to use the newer version as it is CDDL and not GPL software thus it would limit my ability to redistribute the binaries in any way shape or form. I think part of the problem here is that the build system is just terrible and does not give you a really good idea on what is failing or that there was even a problem. I am accustom to make scripts telling me that there was a failure at the end of the copile process instead of looking like they compleated alright. I had to scroll up after being perplexed as to why I couldent find the binary after a make install. This of course is not any of your guys problem but rather a problem with the developer of cdrtools. I really hope in the future someone will write something better and GPL, wishfull thinking I suppose.

Guardian National Building Inspection Company
Guardian National Home Inspection & Warranty Corp. was founded in 1974 by Donald A. Doddridge, specializing in residential and commercial building inspections. The company was eventually responsible for thousands of residential and commercial building inspections throughout the Northeast.
Today, Guardian National Building Inspection Co. is run by Donald's son David and a TEAM (Technical Expertise And Management) of highly experienced Professional Engineers, Registered Architects and Commercial Construction Managers. Guardian National specializes in commercial building inspections only. The company performs commercial building inspections from the metropolitan New York area to Boston and all areas in between. David and his TEAM are highly experienced in construction & building inspections and they are trained specifically in commercial building inspections, engineering, building systems and building codes.
Commercial building inspections differ greatly from residential inspections and are far more complicated. Since it is virtually impossible for each inspection to
be performed by a single inspector, Guardian National has a TEAM (Technical Expertise And Management) of inspectors who perform inspections on specific portions of commercial buildings, such as elevators, sprinkler systems, mechanical system etc.
Each PCA inspection is based on the widely recognized ASTM (American Standards for Testing Materials) Guideline 2018 for "Baseline Property Condition Assessments", which is divided into the following steps;
• Document review including building plans, maintenance records etc.
• Perform a walk-through survey of the premises to establish overall property condition and compliance
• Prepare an opinion of costs for immediate and long term repairs and replacements
• Document the findings of the above in a written report

Q+A: Does Preschool Really Matter?
Q. What's your take on the U.S. preschool system?
Why Preschool Matters
A. First, let me clarify something: We really don't have a "system." What we have is a crazy quilt of early-childhood options, ranging from formal pre-kindergarten programs to nursery schools in church basements and mom-and-pop daycare centers that only the neighbors know about. There are excellent programs in each of these categories, but there are many more that aren't so good.

text: Seven Minutes in Heaven [SlendersXReader] IntroIt wasn't often that you got invited to parties. Your social life hadn't exactly been cupcakes and confetti, with most of the people you care to talk to only being online. Your computer had become your best friend, and the glow of a monitor screen your disco lights. The only party music you needed could be played from your headset or, when no one else was home, the set of speakers connected to your tower. That's why it struck you as odd when a black envelope arrived in your mailbox on Halloween morning. There was no return address written on it, but it had an old-timey wax seal stamped on the back.Cautiously, your fingers pried open the seal and lifted the flap, some of the wax sticking under your nails as you removed it. What was revealed was a black card, glossy and smooth, with a strange red symbol printed on the front. It looked like a smiley face, although it appeared to be lacking eyes. Maybe it was a misprint?

Crazy Stupid Love
Elaine Hornagold - 26/09/2014
I like Neville & Julies dances as they are generally something a bit different! Quite an easy teach, just the toe & heel sections need a bit of practice. Steps fit the music well and its a tune that definitely grows on you. Went down well in class.
Sue Hughes - 19/08/2014
Love this dance ,taken a couple of weeks to get the 5 & 6 sections ,should be a big hit.
Stephen Rolls - 05/08/2014
Brilliant dance with some great different steps. Love the extended lock step and the toe and heel ball step sections, they fit so good to the music. Nothing too taxing and being only 2 wall with just one easy 2 count hold tag, it should be filling floors soon. Our class loved it

Last season, Liverpool had won 11 straight through late April and, with just three games left in the season, needed just six points to put the title away. As we now know, the Reds choked away the title by losing to Chelsea and then, incredibly, gave up a 3-0 lead to Crystal Palace to draw 3-3 and effectively end their title hopes. Suarez cried. Manchester City won the title. It was something else.
Monday was Liverpool's chance for vengeance against the team that yanked the rug out from under them in Manchester City. Only the game was at the Etihad in Manchester, and Liverpool didn't really show up in the final third. City won 3-1.
This was probably the game's greatest moment. Just 23 seconds after subbing on, Aguero latched onto a gorgeous long ball from Jesus Navas and, with his second touch of the game, pushed home City's third for a 3-0 lead. Liverpool scored one late, but that moment was as appropriate a microcosm as any for this game. Liverpool being old Liverpool.

Facebook, Intel, & Rackspace get more open-source than ever with new designs. SANTA CLARA, Calif. — This morning, Facebook and a slew of big names in cloud computing and data center hardware unleashed a whole boatload of news — new hardware designs, new jobs, and new partnerships — all around the Open Compute Project.
AMD and Intel both showed off some new hardware products. Rackspace announced it has customized its own server hardware around OCP designs — and contributed its customizations back to the project. And Fusion-io was talking about its new 3.2TB ioScale card, also an OCP product. Facebook shows off search function to knock out Google, Yelp, LinkedIn, & even Match.com.
This morning, Facebook gathered a handful of press at its Menlo Park campus to announce it's finally rolling out a functional search tool — a tool that's been more than one year in the making. Called Graph Search, Facebook's offering will play on its strengths, allowing you to find people, places, and information based on human connections. For example, it'll make it easy for you to find friends of friends who are single women. Or friends who work at Microsoft's San Francisco office.

Investors are taking notice. Software-based cleantech like energy management software (EMS) is a fast-growing segment as interest in hardware-based cleantech wanes. Leading EMS vendors like C3 and Hara offer tools that allow organizations to measure their energy consumption and, often, identify operational inefficiencies. That can lead to savings in energy consumption as well as real dollars, a fact that's attracting some business owners' attention. Datadog - Home. Khan Academy.

The Surprising Path Of Artificial Intelligence. Editor's note: This is Part I of a three-part guest post written by legendary Silicon Valley investor Vinod Khosla, the founder of Khosla Ventures.

Why your startup's culture shouldn't be ignored. Starting a new technology company is exciting. Since the founders have their energies fully focused on new technologies and innovations that promise to change the world, there is little time left for them to think about creating the right culture for the company.
Hence, more often than not, the company's culture takes after the styles and personalities of the founders. (Above, CollegeHumor's startup guys.)

William P. Jones (Author)
A brilliant history that goes beyond the dazzling "I Have a Dream" speech to explore the real significance of the massive march and the movement it inspired.
It was the final speech of a long day, August 28, 1963, when hundreds of thousands gathered on the Mall for the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. In a resounding cadence, Martin Luther King Jr. lifted the crowd when he told of his dream that all Americans would join together to realize the founding ideal of equality. The power of the speech created an enduring symbol of the march and the larger civil rights movement. King's speech still inspires us fifty years later, but its very power has also narrowed our understanding of the march. In this insightful history, William P. Jones restores the march to its full significance.
The opening speech of the day was delivered by the leader of the march, the great trade unionist A. Philip Randolph, who first called for a march on Washington in 1941 to press for equal opportunity in employment and the armed forces. To the crowd that stretched more than a mile before him, Randolph called for an end to segregation and a living wage for every American. Equal access to accommodations and services would mean little to people, white and black, who could not afford them. Randolph's egalitarian vision of economic and social citizenship is the strong thread running through the full history of the March on Washington Movement. It was a movement of sustained grassroots organizing, linked locally to women's groups, unions, and churches across the country. Jones's fresh, compelling history delivers a new understanding of this emblematic event and the broader civil rights movement it propelled.
"Finally we have the definitive history of the 1963 March on Washington." — Judith Stein, author of Pivotal Decade
"William P. Jones's indispensable new book highlights the leadership of A. Philip Randolph, Bayard Rustin, and other forceful social democrats, liberals, and trade unionists, and rediscovers the inextricable links between the civil rights movement and the cause of economic justice." — Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy
"Jones gets past the heroic myths and provides us with the history we need not just to celebrate the march but to understand it. This is the single best book on that historic event to date." — Eric Arnesen, The George Washington University
"A magnificent work of historical reconstruction. . . . Jones provides a rich, robust understanding of the meaning of the march." — Michael Honey, author of Going Down Jericho Road
"A masterful history. . . . Will Jones's deeply satisfying book makes the history of the march whole and demonstrates the depth of change its participants embraced." — Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore, author of Defying Dixie
"One of the great moments in American history becomes fresh again. Peeling away layers of myth, Jones shows the deep roots of the march in a tradition of African-American labor struggle." — Joshua Freeman, author of American Empire
"Jones thoroughly recovers the radical reality of the events leading up to the march, as well as the march itself." — Moshe Z. Marvit, Washington Monthly
"Vivid and moving." — Bill Marvel, Dallas Morning News

(FootballSTL) -- It was just like old times. Bad times that is. Today's 31 to 7 beat down was eerily similar to the Rams' 34 to 7 loss here in Dallas in 2011. And that's bothersome because this team isn't supposed to resemble in any way Steve Spagnuolo's last team.
The Rams were awful in all three phases. The offense was inept. The Cowboys set the tone on the opening possession by harassing Sam Bradford and forcing a three and out. The Rams were 1 for 13 in third down conversions. That's because they were equally brutal on first downs. And the offensive line was dominated by the Dallas front seven.
The defense got shredded by Demarco Murray again. He now has gained 428 yards in two games against the Rams. He was averaging 3.2 yards per carry and 55 yards a game before today. There is no excuse for the Rams defense to be as porous as it has been in the first three weeks. It's alarming considering it was the team's strength last season.
Special teams? In a word-brutal. Penalty after penalty wiping out returns and putting the offense in terrible field position. Nine penalties accepted on the Rams' special teams in three games.
D'Marco Farr suggests it might be time for a players only meeting after hearing Jeff Fisher say he didn't see this coming. The 49ers are up next. It's a short week meaning coaches won't get much sleep. They might have been up all night tonight anyway after today's performance.

The company currently expects a $0.02 per share increase in its annual dividend to $0.26 per share, contingent upon approval from ISC's Board of Directors.
International Speedway Corporation reported unaudited consolidated earnings results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full-year ended November 30, 2014. For the fourth quarter, the company reported total revenues of $199,753,000 against $188,668,000 a year ago. Operating income was $39,838,000 against $29,532,000 a year ago. Income before income taxes was $42,632,000 against $28,184,000 a year ago. Net income was $25,824,000 against $17,205,000 a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.55 against $0.37 a year ago. Excluding legal settlement, marketing and consulting costs incurred associated with DAYTONA Rising, accelerated depreciation, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assets, impairment of MA long-lived intangible asset, settlement of interest income related to a long-term receivable, DAYTONA Rising project capitalized interest, MA income tax benefits and a de minimis net gain on sale of certain assets, non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $26,078,000, or $0.56 per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $25,831,000, or $0.55 per diluted share. For the year, the company reported total revenues of $651,936,000 against $612,640,000 a year ago. Operating income was $93,391,000 against $78,692,000 a year ago. Income before income taxes was $100,612,000 against $73,076,000 a year ago. Net income was $67,379,000 against $45,292,000 a year ago. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $1.45 against $0.97 a year ago. Net cash provided by operating activities was $162,847,000 against $173,395,000 a year ago. Capital expenditures were $183,936,000 against $85,539,000 a year ago. Excluding adjustments for legal settlement, marketing and consulting costs incurred associated with DAYTONA Rising, accelerated depreciation, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assets, impairment of MA long-lived intangible asset, settlement of interest income related to long-term receivable, DAYTONA Rising project capitalized interest, MA fair value adjustment and income tax benefits, and a de minimis net loss on sale of certain assets, non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2014, was $65,913,000, or $1.42 per diluted share. This is compared to non-GAAP net income for fiscal 2013 of $67,185,000, or $1.44 per diluted share. The company provided earnings guidance for the fiscal year 2015. For the fiscal year, the company announced that 2015 will feature certain activities and business changes that will significantly impact the comparability to the prior year. These changes include: Certain elements of the DAYTONA Rising project placed in service beginning in 2015; and the company and industry's strategic change in the business model for merchandising officially licensed apparel and souvenirs. Budweiser Speedweeks 2015 will introduce several aforementioned amenities of the DAYTONA Rising project. As a result of these assets being placed in service in 2015, the company will begin to recognize approximately $12.0 million to $14.0 million, or approximately $0.15 to $0.18 per diluted share, of incremental annual depreciation expense. The revenue, operating expenses and depreciation impacting 2015 were contemplated in the DAYTONA Rising project pro-forma expectations at full build-out. The company remains confident it will achieve its communicated targets for the project, including incremental revenues of approximately $20.0 million, and EBITDA of approximately $15.0 million to be recognized by fiscal 2016, when DAYTONA Rising is expected to be complete and all assets fully in service. Instead, the company will receive a percentage of sales from Fanatics, recorded as part of Food, Beverage and Merchandise Revenue. For fiscal 2015, the company is projecting a reduction in operating income of approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million, or $0.05 to $0.06 per diluted share, related to this new merchandise business model. As a result, the company currently expects its fiscal 2015 non-GAAP EBITDA to be between $180.0 million and $195.0 million, and EBITDA margin to range between 29.5% and 31.0% of total revenues. This compares to fiscal 2014 EBITDA and margin of approximately $194.4 million and 29.8%, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense is expected to be approximately $89.0 million to $91.0 million, on a non-GAAP basis, which includes an incremental approximately $12.0 million to $14.0 million related to assets placed in service for DAYTONA Rising. The company currently expects its 2015 operating margin to range between 15.0% and 16.5% of total revenues, on a non-GAAP basis. The company's effective tax rate in 2015 will be approximately 38.5% to 39.5%. Based on all of the above assumptions, the company expects fiscal 2015 non-GAAP earnings between $1.10 and $1.30 per diluted share, which includes a charge of approximately $0.15 to $0.18 per diluted share related to additional depreciation for assets placed in service during fiscal 2015 for DAYTONA Rising and approximately $0.05 to $0.06 per diluted share related to non-recurring charges associated with the aforementioned merchandising strategy. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP earnings for fiscal 2015 would have been between $1.30 and $1.50 per diluted share, comparable to its non-GAAP earnings guidance for fiscal 2014. After considering the business changes, the company anticipates total revenues to range between $615 million and $630 million. The company estimates total CapEx, excluding cap I, to be approximately $200 million in fiscal 2015.
International Speedway Corp. (NasdaqGS:ISCA) is seeking acquisitions. "We are confident about our financial condition and our strategic initiatives to grow our business. We maintain a solid balance sheet that makes possible strategic developments and acquisitions that build shareholder value. As well we are executing consumer and corporate programs that complement our industry's long-term broadcast agreements, all supporting revenue growth," Lesa France Kennedy, International Speedway Chief Executive Officer, stated.

Remember 2 yrs ago, when out of the blue we got Dillion when we all thought he was not a so call typical Pat, and never knew we were talking with him.. Reading Curren today, the pats are clearing money , for what though??? Resigning Seymoer, Resigning Branch?? Could be, but what if BB and SP have been quietly looking into the TO situation... He could be a good 2 to 3 yr stop gap player.. I know he is a cancer in the locker room, but BB is concerned with one thing , could you help win games, and puting the best player out there...We shall see,but interesting to think about..
What really would be interesting to me is to see if his locker room cancer reputation will get any play here when you've got guys like Brady, Bruschi, Seymour, and Harrison in the locker room. The most damage in my mind would be to see him be benched. I don't think that he could melt a whole team like New England when there are so many high character guys playing for it. I wouldn't mind seeing him here but it has to be an incentive laden contract.
T.o. Brady is one the few QB's that Owens could not blame for anything. I don't want him here, but this is one place he could likely survive. If he goes to Big D, how long before he freaks on Bledsoe? Week 2? 3?
Signing Seymour would save cap money. Signing Branch would cost at most $3M in Year 1. No, I don't think we are "clearing cap room". The team is making the roster bonus decisions that need to be made. The last critical decision other than the extensions (and perhaps a restructure or two; not really needed) would be a decision on Poole.
you hit the nail on the head. i think that NE is the only place he could exist peacefully. Not saying he will or I want him to because he is a character complainer. I am sure he could find something to whine about.
T.O. is not coming here. He wants to get paid. It doesn't matter where, he wants his dough. The Pats won't give him his payday, regardless of incentives. I give T.O. the first Eagles game until he goes off on Bledsoe. Which could be week 1.
If the coaches feel as though TO could be handled then I'd be fine with him coming here. Heck, I might even become one of his biggest fans
If anything Dallas is the place..and Parcells...Bledsoe...KJohnson gone and...TO comes to town for his money..NO TO TO

LulzSec: Hacker group reborn, exposes 171,000 military accounts. The hacker group known as LulzSec appears to be back after many months of laying low, claiming to have exposed the accounts of nearly 171,000 members of the military.
The group, which in 2011 went after government agencies and companies including the FBI, CIA, Sony and even PBS, claims to have exposed the email accounts of thousands of members on the website MilitarySingles.com. "There are emails such as @us.army.mil ; @carney.navy.mil ; @greatlakes.cnet.navy.mil ; @microsoft.com ; etc.. ," the group said in a note posted on the website PasteBin. The group said it dumped a database including a total of 170,937 email accounts from the website, which bills itself as "the dating site for single soldiers.

AMA Request Sabu from LuLSec this would be amazing : IAmA. Lulzsec hacker: we still have Sun emails, stored in China' The hacker who styles himself "Sabu", erstwhile leader of the LulzSec hacking crew, claims to have a cache of emails copied from the Sun which are being stored on a Chinese server, along with data from a number of other hacks.
But he claimed this weekend that they will not be released yet: "there are a lot of interesting dumps we're sitting on due to timing," he wrote on his Twitter feed. He claims that hackers have broken into banks including HSBC and "a few others" but that they have found "no smoking guns yet" in the data there. "I'm past the point of no return. Not trying to sound like a bad ass, however, it's the truth," he wrote. Later he added: "The ironic twist will be that my own friends will take me down, and not these idiots who hide behind the patriot veil. " LulzSec Hacker Says He's Never Felt Safer. He's part of a group that claims to be behind the recent hack attacks against the CIA, U.S.
Senate, Sony, Fox and PBS. If caught, he could face years in prison.

Some of the most notable targeted websites include Sony Pictures' internal database, CIA website and FBI's contractor InfraGard among others. Although the group officially announced its retirement in June 2011 and suspect members of Lulzsec have been taken into police custody, numerous related attacks have been reported by its affiliated groups since then.

I will be adding additional displays and stats as time goes by!
Unzip the files into your %World of Warcraft/Interface/AddOns directory. It should create a WR_KillingFields directory with the installed files.
That's it! There is nothing else you have to do!

KDE 4 on Windows
The desktop shell in KDE 4 on Linux is provided by Plasma, a flexible, integrated replacement for the separate desktop, widget and taskbar applications of KDE 3. It is possible to run Plasma as the desktop shell on Windows, but some major features are missing—such as a taskbar—and you need to make some changes to the Windows Registry to try it out. In fact, trying Plasma on Windows really is not a good idea on any machine that you care about, because once you have made the switch, you cannot easily revert it from within your KDE Plasma desktop session. The safest way to try Plasma on Windows is to use a new (and disposable) user account in Windows running in a virtual machine. If you do try it (see the Replacing the Windows Desktop Shell with KDE's Plasma sidebar for instructions), you'll be presented with a pretty KDE desktop (Figure 10) to which you can add a few of your favorite widgets, such as a clock or the KDE menu, run a few KDE applications and, well, that's about it. Windows programs are entirely inaccessible. Although there is a certain wow factor to having an almost complete KDE 4 desktop on your Windows machine, using it is not really practical in any serious way at present.
Replacing the Windows Desktop Shell with KDE's Plasma
First, this is a really bad idea and may make your Windows system unusable. If you must follow these instructions, use at least a spare user account and preferably a disposable install in a virtual machine. You have been warned.
If that has not put you off and you still want to see how Plasma looks on Windows, you need to download and run Autoruns for Windows from Microsoft (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx).
Next, simply unzip the downloaded archive and run autoruns.exe (not autorunsc.exe).
In the main program window that appears, you then have to select the Logon tab and find the entry that references explorer.exe. Double-click on that to open the registry editor and change the key to replace explorer.exe with the full path to plasma-desktop.exe (if you accepted the default KDE install options, this is probably C:\Program Files\KDE\bin\plasma-desktop.exe).
Log out and back in again. You should be presented with a pretty but largely nonfunctional Plasma desktop.
You'll probably have to press the computer reset button to escape.
Some of the KDE applications are competing for your attention against better-known alternatives that you easily can install from a single executable file. KDE's Konqueror Web browser, although a fine application, finds itself in a very crowded market for Windows browsers with Internet Explorer already installed and the likes of Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome all available as alternatives. The potential for some other applications to become popular on Windows is, however, much higher. Kopete faces only Pidgin and the proprietary Trillian messenger as serious competition in the market for multiprotocol messaging clients. Okular is a lightweight but well featured alternative to Adobe Reader. Marble is almost in a class of its own—the nearest competitor perhaps being Google Earth. Kontact, the Personal Information Management suite, also has potential as a compelling cross-platform alternative to existing solutions (Figure 11). Mozilla Thunderbird is a clear competitor, but it lacks comprehensive calendar functionality. Benjamin Dietrich, working in IT support at a German university, who currently has to support many different mail applications across the various computing platforms, believes Kontact could "provide one solution, once it is as mature as it is on Linux". However, a way to distribute Kontact as a self-contained installer easily would add to its appeal: "a single binary installer would be perfect."
The spread of KDE applications to Windows also has had benefits for the wider KDE Project. Amarok's integration with the Last.fm music service was largely put together by a developer who used Windows rather than Linux. It is unlikely that he would have become involved if it had not been possible at the time to run Amarok on Windows. Getting exposure to users on Windows also gives KDE the potential to attract users to trying KDE 4 on Linux and should make the transition for such users easier if they already know some of the applications.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Top Story: Two More Academy Screeners Online
Hot on the heels of the revelation that two screeners intended for Academy members' use only were available online comes the news that two more screeners have been found floating around on the Internet, Associated Press reports. A VHS copy of House of Sand and Fog was found up for sale on eBay, and Cold Mountain was found available for download. The Los Angeles Times reports that while the latter has not been traced, House was found to belong to Ivan Kruglak, an Academy member who firmly denies putting the video on eBay, blaming the duplication house that made his copy. The DVD/video screeners, so dubbed because they allow Academy members to screen and judge Oscar contenders without having to attend theater screenings, have been the subjects of vociferous debate since their ban and its subsequent repeal last year. The Academy added tracking codes to each tape so any Academy member's copy found for sale or online for download could be easily traced back to its owner. Earlier in the week, the Academy said copies of Something's Gotta Give and The Last Samurai had been posted online.
Law Is Stronger and Happier Post-Divorce
In the wake of his breakup with Sadie Frost, his wife of nearly seven years, Jude Law says he is happier and stronger than before, AP reports. The 31-year-old star of Cold Mountain is looking on the bright side when it comes to his divorce: "It changes your life, I think, when you enter into a marriage and it can change it just as much as when you're part of a breakup," he said on British TV, "But I certainly feel stronger emotionally and happier in myself, if not a little battered and bruised." Frost cited Law's "unreasonable behavior" for adding to her post-natal depression after the birth of their third child, Rudy. They were divorced in October of last year.
Spears Blames Vegas Vibe For Wedding
Speaking on MTV's Total Request Live, Britney Spears claimed it was the atmosphere of Las Vegas that made her marry her childhood friend Jason Alexander in a late night ceremony, AP reports, and her belief in the institution of marriage remains unshaken. "I do believe in the sanctity of marriage, I totally do," said Spears, "(But) I was in Vegas, and it took over me." The marriage between the 22-year-olds was annulled two days after the January 3rd ceremony at the Little White Chapel. Spears declined to comment on her feelings for Alexander saying that information was "personal."
White Stripes Singer Pleads Innocent
Jack White, lead singer of the band the White Stripes, pleaded innocent in the misdemeanor aggravated assault case against him, AP reports. The Detroit native is charged with assaulting Von Blondies singer Jason Stollsteimer at a Detroit concert last month. White reportedly punched Stollsteimer in the face seven times, leaving him with a swollen eye and a bloody nose, according to police. White claims he struck in self-defense. The 28-year-old faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted. White is currently appearing in a small role in the film, Cold Mountain and will soon attend the Grammy Awards where he and fellow Stripe Meg White are nominated for three Grammys.
Diana Ross' Ex-Husband Killed
Diana Ross' ex-husband, avid mountaineer Arne Naess, was killed Tuesday in a mountain climbing accident in South Africa, AFP reports. Naess, who was in his 60s, fell to his death sometime around 12:30 p.m. in the Western Cape Province town of Franschoek where he was visiting. The Norway native was married to Ross for 13 years in a union that produced two sons. The couple divorced in 1999. A formal inquest will be held to determine what lead to Naess' death.
The Passion To Open on 2,000 Screens
In an unusual move for a partially self-financed non-studio film, Mel Gibson's directorial effort The Passion of Christ will open in 2,000 theaters on Feb. 25, Reuters reports. The film, which depicts the last 12 hours in the life of Jesus and features Latin and Aramaic dialog, had trouble even finding a distributor due to its controversial subject matter. Gibson's own Icon Productions and independent distributor Newmarket Films will distribute the film, which has been praised by Christian religious groups for its accuracy. Some Jewish groups have expressed concern that the film might promote anti-Semitic feeling with its depiction of Jesus' death according to the New Testament.
MTV Reality Shows for Diaz, Duff
After the recent shuttering of Ashton Kutcher's successful Punk'd, MTV is ready to find new reality programming. MTV will begin airing a new round of programming this year starring such teen and teen-friendly stars as Cameron Diaz, Hilary Duff and Frankie Muniz, Variety reports. Diaz will be featured traveling the world, while Duff's project remains unspecified. Frankie Muniz of Fox's Malcolm in the Middle will co-create and star in a show in which high-school students get to live out their fantasies. All the projects are still listed as being in development.
Trump Slams CBS Boss Moonves
Real-estate mogul and newly minted reality star Donald Trump lashed out at CBS head Leslie Moonves Wednesday at a press conference to promote his NBC show, The Apprentice, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Trump, whose first attempt at reality programming seems to be a hit, attacked Moonves repeatedly during the press conference, calling CBS top dog, "the most highly overrated person in television." Moonves apparently incurred Trump's wrath when he failed to renew his contract to air Trump's Miss Universe pageant as well as two other beauty pageants also owned by the tycoon. "If Les Moonves was a contestant [on Apprentice], he would have been fired by the third episode," Trump told reporters, who responded with a mixture of gasps and nervous laughter.

This article describes the Characteristics of a Successful Mold Cleanup Project - what should the owner or mold test consultant check? Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved. SUCCESSFUL MOLD TEST: How do We Define Successful Post-remediation Mold Test Laboratory ResultsThis article is part of ACTION GUIDE, an easy to understand step-by-step guide for dealing with toxic or allergenic indoor mold and other indoor contaminants: what to do about mold "mildew," moisture, in your house or office, building-related illness, involving your physician, treatment, sick building investigators, reduction of irritants, and special products to help clean buildings and air. Our remediation job site photo (left) is very different from the immaculate remediation work shown at the top of this page. At left we see that a moldy crawl area was never actually entered by the remediation contractor's crew. Rather, someone stood at the crawl space entry and sprayed whatever s/he could reach from that point. In the remediation area all moldy materials and debris should have been removed and surfaces cleaned. If we do not see those conditions, in our opinion, testing the building could be a waste of the client's money and the consultant's time as it's so likely that further cleaning is needed. In the occupied areas of the building we should find in surface, dust, air, or other samples no more than incidental occurrence of the problem mold or allergens previously found at the property. There should be no significant presence of toxic or allergenic spores or other allergens indicating a remaining mold reservoir. As one part of our post mold cleanup inspection, we tested airborne dust levels for mold at the mold remediation jobsite shown at left. Air tests for mold after a mold cleanup job, while not a reliable overall indicator of building condition, should, if used for mold screening, show indoor mold levels at or below typical outdoor levels or at levels associated with various studies of "clean" buildings. Warning: some investigators risk making erroneous conclusions if they attempt to compare directly levels or counts of indoor Penicillium/Aspergillus spore levels with outdoor Penicillium/Aspergillus spore levels in air samples. With some exceptions, it is almost impossible to determine the species of these genera in an air sample. A previous report on a property I was asked to investigate showed that the indoor Penicillium/Aspergillus spore level was equal to the outdoor level and that both were at 8000 spores/M3 of air. But a detailed investigation of the samples disclosed that the outdoor spore level was in fact a species of Penicillium while the indoor species was Aspergillus niger which, at this level I considered an indicator of incomplete cleaning traced, ultimately to incomplete demolition. In this case the original "count comparison" of indoor to outdoor Penicillium/Aspergillus spores was like comparing apples and oranges. It was nonsense. U.S. EPA Guidance for Mold Clearance Inspection After a Mold CleanupAs we introduced at CLEARANCE PROCEDURES, and quoting from the US EPA mold guidelines, we include this more general advice on the criteria for a mold cleanup job: [Our comments are in brackets] How Do I Know When the Remediation or Cleanup is Finished?
Questions and Answers on Mold Clearance InspectionsQuestion: There is no visible exterior mold, the moisture levels are now fine. But interior walls are "elevated". Does this constitute a "mold problem" if the ambient air inside the apartment is OK?I have been reading your website as I try to educate myself on mold in homes. I am writing on behalf of my senior citizen parents, whose condo suffered a flood from a broken AC pipe in the apartment above in December of 2010. The insurance companies really put my parents through the wringer, each blaming someone else (the unit owner above vs. the association) with my parents stuck in the middile, and after 6 weeks of being kicked out of their home because of this and getting nowhere, I finally stepped in as I felt my elderly parents were being run over. The dry out process according to one air quality and two IICRC folks I spoke to was done substandard, so I insisted the insurance company pay for a mold inspection. The mold inspection report we now have however states that they cannot determine if the elevated mold spores they found within the walls (the ambient air was OK) were from a pre-existing condition or if it resulted from the flood. I know the insurance company won't budge because of course they will say it is pre-existing and not their problem. My parents are not able to pay for (or frankly, at their age, endure it at all) gutting the entire apartment to remove the drywall (which is what the report recommends). I am mostly concerned about the risk, if any, to my parents, and my infant son who I take there to visit every day. There is no visible exterior mold, the moisture levels are now fine. But interior walls are "elevated". Does this constitute a "mold problem" if the ambient air inside the apartment is OK? Is there anyone from your organization that can help me interpret this mold report? - M. and M. Our mold investigation photo [above] is from a different site investigation, not the building discussed here. Reply: "Elevated Mold Spores" in a wall, properly determined, means further, invasive inspection is probably justifiedWe're not sure what "elevated mold spores in the wall cavity" means without more detail. Having performed extensive tests of air and vacuum samples from wall cavities as a method to screen building walls for hidden mold, we found those methods very unreliable when the results were negative: that is, if the tests did not find mold it was no assurance that there was no problem mold inplace. But conversely, if a test finds high levels of problem mold spores (for example Aspergillus sp. as the dominant particle other than insulation in a wall cavity sample), then further investigation is warranted. Our photo (left) shows visible mold-suspect material on the cavity side of a drywall plug that we cut in a highly-suspect area where no mold was visible on the room side of the wall. Lab test confirmed the presence of several mold and yeast genera/species on this sample, and further investigation to determine the scope of damage was then performed. In the case you describe, we'd want to inspect the building exterior and interior for details or conditions making leaks into the wall more or less likely so that we have an idea where to look further. We'd also want a history of building leaks and repairs. Based on that evidence we would probably decide to make one or more small 4" test openings into the most-suspect wall or ceiling cavities to look for water stains, visible mold, or other clues. Should Insurance Companies Cover Additional Mold Discovered After the Mold Remediation Job?The short answer to this is ... it depends. It depends on the insurance company's policies and on the insurance contract between the client and the insurer. Here are comments on my (DJF) experience with this question, based on actual cases. A competent onsite inspection by an expert usually finds additional clues that help accurately diagnose a problem, so we don't yet know that the possible remaining mold problem your inspector cited is the only one or even the most important one. That said, here are some things to consider regarding your question: First, the fact that a mold problem now appears to be present at all it suggests that the original inspection and definition of scope of work might have been inadequate. A second possibility would be a leak and mold growth that occurred after the insured event, provided enough time has elapsed. A pre-cleanup inspection that defined the scope of work would usually include inspection (and some limited tests) to decide where the claim-related damage is and its scope and its cause. Properly performed, in my OPINION, and in the hands of someone with experience, that inspection is comprehensive - examining the whole building for evidence of a history of leaks, chronic moisture or water troubles, and likely areas of water damage, precisely in order to avoid the very issue that you face now - a dispute about what parts of a mold problem are related to a specific, insurance-claim-related event. Second, in my work with several large insurance companies, we had to confront a similar problem: I sometimes found evidence that there was pre-existing mold in an area that was also covered or affected by a claim-related event. For example, I inspected a basement after a burst pipe and water flood of the basement to more than a foot of depth, soaking wall cavities, insulation,etc. I found outside conditions likely to cause water entry from roof spillage at the foundation; inside I found that the floor trim and behind it the bottom of wood paneling was rotted - evidence of recurrent water entry over quite some time. We don't get trim rot and paneling rot in just a few weeks after a single event basement flood. I argue and the companies with whom I worked agreed (or thought up on their own) what I considered a very reasonable and certainly moral position: If the the claim-related event caused mold-producing conditions that would have been expected to wet insulation and carpeting and produce problem mold growth (in this case on basment wall cavities and probably in the finished ceiling too), then wherever that event also overapped with pre-existing damage, the overlapped area would still have been included in loss coverage by the insurer. Conversely, if I found water damage, rot, mold in an area that was not touched by the claim-related event, that area would normally be excluded from coverage by the insurer. Even so, my advice to the building owner was to clean and repair all of the problem areas in the same job, even if that meant that the owner had to pick up the cost for additional work that fell outside of the claim. Here are the reasons for that advice:

At one of the most sophisticated banks in Singapore, a nation with one of the lowest skimming rates in the world, thieves this past January pulled off one of the most costly ATM skimming frauds recorded anywhere, ever.
Nearly 700 customers of the Development Bank of Singapore had money stolen from their accounts in the two days before the crime was discovered. DBS paid out $1 million in compensation to accountholders who lost funds in the attack and DBS Group Holdings chief executive Piyush Gupta apologized for the incident. But the damage to customers' trust was done.
In the wake of the crime, DBS announced new account safeguards including one that alerts customers by SMS — i.e., text message — if an ATM withdrawal from their DBS account exceeds a set amount (which the bank will not disclose so skimmers can't simply work under it). The bank had its SMS alert program up and running within just 11 days of the skimming scandal.
The Singapore scandal and response brings up a question closer to home: Should U.S. financial institutions adopt a similar safeguard against skimming crime that costs their industry at least $1 billion annually?
"Any additional layer of protection is always a good idea," said McAfee consultant and ID theft expert Robert Siciliano. "The bank itself will do their own cost benefit analysis — they look at the risk, they look at the reward, they make a determination of its user-friendliness — and I think the consumers, the majority of them … would embrace this."
Consumers have already taken to various other types of alerts. For instance CapitalOne allows its Visa cardholders to request an email alert for any transaction over $20 and any transaction made outside of the United States. Wells Fargo allows users of its mobile app to opt into a text alert program that goes beyond CapitalOne's to include card-not-present transactions, ATM cash withdrawals, declined transactions and gasoline transactions. From there, it presumably would be a short step to a service that would allow all mobile users to opt into text notices — not just the ones with a smartphone and the mobile app.
Diebold features MobiTransact in its mobile banking program. This service allows a bank customer to receive low-balance notifications as well as real-time SMS alerts for transactions that have taken place while their ATM debit card was locked.
"Diebold views the notification of consumers of [ATM] activity as a high-value service," said Chuck Somers, vice president of ATM security and systems for Diebold. "For legitimate transactions, it reinforces a multi-channel communication to the consumer … and offers the ability to do paperless transactions with a high degree of security."
Somers said the cost of SMS implementation would depend on the systems a financial institution has already deployed and their interoperability. But he said it certainly would not require the deployment of any different technology to consumer phones or ATMs.
"As far as enabling the alerts is concerned, it's really going to depend on how their systems are set up," said Jason Kuhn, director of product development and chief privacy officer for Payment Alliance International. "If I was an FI or an issuer, I would have to set up a real-time feed with the different transaction processors that are out there or however I'm getting my real-time transaction detail. And all of those transactions are going into a fraud monitoring system anyway … so they would just have a series of triggers they would set: whenever [a card number] is used at an ATM; whenever a point of sale transaction occurs for a user-configurable amount greater than 'X'."
Better late than never
The inherent weakness of SMS alerts is that they occur only after the crime has been committed. But real-time SMS notifications could still significantly narrow the gap between the time a skimming incident occurs and the time it is discovered and addressed. As the two-day delay in uncovering the DBS skimming fraud showed, time can be big money to a financial institution.
Not only banks, but also consumers would benefit from faster discovery, Siciliano said. "Certainly it's relatively reactive — the damage has already been done," he said. "But at the same time, you only have by federal law just a couple of days to refute unauthorized ATM withdrawals and it would be good to know it off the bat."
He said that for businesses, early notice could be even more important because they aren't covered by the same protections as consumers are.
A final remark from Kuhn summed up the texting question neatly. "We've all got to change to keep up with security anyway," he said, "so why not use that as an opportunity to be able to provide additional benefits to your customer?"
