Anti-Virus Resource Center
Last Updated: Fri, 06 Feb 2015 > Related Articles
Learn about our anti-virus resources, available for both Windows and Mac systems.
The below information explains what a virus is and how it affects you. In addition, there are tips and tools for avoiding, detecting, and eliminating viruses.
For more information, see View Virus Threat Maps With McAfee Security Center.
Computer Virus Types
There are three main types of computer viruses.
- Viruses are programs that attempt to cripple your computer by infecting critical files and spreading to others. It might change files or perform unwanted functions such as erasing your hard drive.
- Trojan Horses leave your computer accessible for other people to use. Once a Trojan Horse installs, it may bounce through your machine as a way to cover its tracks and do other damage. A Trojan Horse gives hackers access to any information stored on your hard drive, enabling them to read your files and personal information or to use your computer to store data, send email, and the like.
- Worms travel from system to system, gather information, and then send it on, while also doing collateral damage along the way.
The War on Viruses
Cox WebMail provides built-in anti-virus protection to help defend Cox High Speed Internet customers from receiving hazardous computer viruses through email. This free service is automatically active without requiring installation. Customers do not need to contact Cox in order to benefit from this service. This anti-virus protection works in the following ways.
- All messages sent to Cox customer email accounts on the cox.net domain, meaning email addresses ending with @cox.net, are checked for viruses before being delivered to WebMail or email client inboxes.
- If a known virus is detected, the service silently discards the entire email. Cox used to notify senders about discarded messages as a result of virus detection, but discontinued this notification process based on customer feedback.
- Cox does not read the content or text of your email. This automated solution only detects known viruses.
Although the Cox anti-virus solution provides protection against viruses transmitted by email, we still recommend the use of anti-virus software on your computer to protect you from viruses transmitted through websites, Internet downloads, discs, and portable drives.
Note: The email virus protection service doesn't prevent downloading of virus-infected files, nor will it remove viruses already present on your computer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Viruses are designed not only to infect you, but also to spread themselves. Some viruses read your email address book and then email themselves to every listed contact. Other viruses attach themselves to every outgoing email. Below are a few simple steps to help you avoid receiving a virus.
- Do not open an email attachment if you do not know the sender, or if the message text or attachment name seems odd.
- Scan all attachments and files you receive with an up-to-date anti-virus program.
- Do not download files from unfamiliar sites or sites that appear questionable.
In the event you receive an email that contains a virus, you can send it to Cox for review. We will work with our partners to ensure that this type of virus is detected in the future.
To submit an email for review, forward the email virus as an attachment to email@example.com.
Note:All suspect and false positive emails must be forwarded as an attachment.
Most email software can be configured to automatically delete virus notifications. This can be done by setting up specific rules within your email software.
Yes. Cox has implemented email anti-virus filters that help to protect you from destructive Internet viruses that spread through email. Our email anti-virus system scans and cleans messages sent to you in email, removing known viruses that may be attached.

A longer, more detailed version of this article is |
In October, I wrote an obituary for the meta keywords tag. Given that Inktomi was the last major crawler to still support the meta keywords tag, I didn't think it was worth the time or bother for many webmasters to use. It's now time for a follow-up on that article, because there was plenty of reaction and feedback to it.
First and foremost, a few people came away with the mistaken impression that I was saying that all meta tags were dead. Not so. I always specifically referred to the meta keywords tag, in that article. In contrast, there are many other types of meta tags that exist and continue to be used by web-wide search engines, browsers and for other purposes.
In particular, when it comes to crawler-based, web-wide search engines, the meta description tag continues to be very useful. In fact, the Search Engine Watch "members" version of my article about the decline of the meta keywords tag included a long look at how the meta description tag continues to be supported by crawlers (What's a Search Engine Watch member? See the membership page!).
How do you deploy the meta description tag? Take a look at the How HTML Meta Tags Work page in Search Engine Watch. It covers that tag, the meta keywords tag, offers tips about the importance of title tags and provides reference material about other meta tags.
I also had a couple of people note to me that various meta tags are often used for intranet or enterprise search engines, and they've got no disagreement on this from me. In fact, I said this in the supporting material listed at the end of my original article. However, it bears repeating. Other meta tags, such as Dublin Core meta tags, exist for specialized search engines. If you know your content is being indexed by such search engines that support these type of tags, by all means, consider using them. It's just the web-wide search engines that don't support them.
My favorite reaction was from a few people who noted that I still had meta keyword tags on the SearchEngineWatch.com site. "So, Danny, if the meta keywords tag is of so little use, then why do YOU still use them," came the queries.
I confess. It was indeed a conspiracy. I figured if I could get everyone else to stop using meta keywords tags, it would allow my own pages to...(please picture me here with my little finger in my mouth and laughing like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers)...DOMINATE THE WEB!!!
The reality is far more boring. The tags you see were written by me back when the meta keywords tag enjoyed more support. I'm no longer writing new ones, since I don't think they are worth the time. Similarly, it's not worth the time to remove the existing ones. It doesn't hurt to leave them, so why bother removing them?
Indeed, this is the key point I was making in my original article. Over the years, I've seen people fret and worry far too much about the meta keywords tag. I've always said that if you are short on time, to skip the meta keywords tag. Now that support is so low, I'm saying it even more strongly. Feel like you've got better things to do? Then pass on using the tag. However, as always with anything search engine related, if you personally feel the meta keywords tag is helping you for whatever reason, by all means keep using it!
Finally, while my original article said only Inktomi supported the meta keywords tag, Jill Whalen of the excellent High Rankings Advisor newsletter and a few other readers said they noticed that Teoma was picking up some of their pages for words that only appeared in their meta keywords tag. (Jill, by the way, generally agrees in her recent No Meta Keywords Tag article that the meta keywords tag probably isn't worth the bother, unless you have some "funky-techie" synonyms not in your regular body copy).
After more investigating, I found this to be true. Teoma does indeed appear to be indexing text in the meta keywords tag. Teoma had always said in the past that it did not support the tag. When queried about the latest finding, Teoma said it couldn't say yes or no about support. Things are currently changing so much with Teoma that the search engine suggests that if it is currently supporting the tag, that may not be the case in the future.

text: Sent Home with a Note*Read the description below, there is a picture/drawing from a fellow deviantART member that goes along with the short story.*Morning arose with sun shining in Japan's face. He stretched and yawned. Looking over to the clock, he noticed it was six thirty in the morning. He shook his head, knowing very well how silly it was that he was awake at such an early hour, and rolled over to get some more sleep. However, he was interrupted by the sounds of little feet padding into the room, and as he turned around, he felt the small little body of his little one land on him."Ooofff! Ugh...my old and crippled body...ugh, Yao...little one, you'll break your Papa's bones doing that!" He looked up to see the wide amber eyes looking down at him, and a small smile. Reaching out a hand, and smiling back at him, Kiku grazed the child's chubby cheek, and sat up, leaning against the pillows. The boy was wearing a long night shirt, that was oversized, as his hands were covered, and alon

Unlike the ancient Israelites, I'm not in the habit of naming rocks.
Not being judgmental, just never thought to do so.
Apparently, the Philistines were set to slaughter the Israelites. Full-on assault, take no prisoners.
If you recall from the story of David and Goliath, the Philistines were huge, mean and scary. So, when the Israelites heard about the upcoming attack, they went to their leader, Samuel, and begged him to ask God to save them.
The Apostolic Pentecostal Church of the Living God, 124 Smith Lane in Bedford is celebrating Down Home Weekend, May 23-25.
At 7:30 p.m., Friday, May 23, Superintendent Brother Joel Clemons from Burlington, Ky., will be the guest speaker; at 7 p.m., Saturday, May 24, the Troy Cupp Family from Williamsburg, Ky. will minister to the congregation with singing and preaching; at 6:30 p.m., Sunday, May 25, the guest speaker will be Brother James Allen from Lexington, Ky.
There will be special singing nightly. Everyone is welcome.
As we live our lives, we can face many adversities. These situations give us a choice to face them head on with a great hope, or we can run the other way and ignore or deny.
Your response to adversity will help you understand where you are in your walk with God. Is it possible that you have been so caught up in trying to figure out why this situation has come upon you, that you've missed God? Has this adversity made your faith stronger or has it left you in a weakened state?
The First Apostolic Church will host a Community Day Event at Point Park from noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 17.
There will be gospel singing including the Chase Condon Band from Columbus, Ohio. Games for the children, hotdogs, chips, cookies, and drinks will also be served.
This event has been planned by the church members to let the Carrollton area see what the church is all about. Everyone in the community is invited.
Have you ever thought that someone was really different than what they really were because of suppositions you made or things someone told you? Have you ever prejudged someone and then learned that they are not like what you thought — at all? Have you ever negatively stereotyped someone because of what they looked like, who they hung out with, or what they stood for and then found that they were actually a better person than what you thought they were? I mean, you even found out you liked them!
In judging, we play God. A sign of idolatry is the inclination to judge. When people fail to satisfy our demands, we criticize and condemn them in our hearts, if not with our words.
The truth is that when we judge others – criticize, nit-pick, attack, condemn – we are literally acting like a god. We commit the sin of Lucifer, coveting the judgment seat reserved only for God. Scripture tells us clearly "There is one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you that you judge your neighbor?" (James 4:12)
New Apostolic church to hold first service
Carroll County Apostolic Church holds its first church service May 4, at its temporary location in the Worthville Christian Church on Simmons Street, Worthville.
Services are 2 p.m. Sundays. Everyone is welcome. For information call the Rev. Jerry Knox at (502) 732-6779.
Revival planned in Prestonville May 1-4
Truth Jubilee, a community revival, will be 7 p.m., May 1-4, at 202 Donna Circle in Prestonville, at Three Rivers Auction House.
Yesterday when I was buying fish for dinner, Harry the seafood guy looked at me and said, "Today has been a good day."
He didn't say why, and I suppose I should've asked him.
Even so, as I drove home with my two salmon steaks and the solitary fresh, humungously jumbo shrimp with its head still on that Harry tossed in as a freebie, Harry's words echoed in my thoughts.
Today has been a good day.
Cove Hill Baptist Church, 4751 Mound Hill Road in Carrollton, will host a fish fry at 6 p.m. Friday, April 25. Cost is $5 a plate and includes fish, hush puppies, fries, cole slaw and a drink. All proceeds benefit Relay for Life. All are welcome.
Ephesians 2:8-10 says: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

2 JC students try out lab work in German university
10-day trip part of joint effort with ST fund
Published on Jun 21, 2014 9:54 AM
This year's June holiday was an unusual one for 17-year-old Abigail Sim.
She got a glimpse of what it took to discover cures for diseases, toured Munich, and stayed with a German host family - all on a trip that was fully paid for.
The second-year Victoria Junior College student spent three days this month in a lab at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), a renowned German science and engineering institution.
There, she helped a PhD student with research on new anti-virulence drugs, which fight antibiotic-resistant infections.

Hairston reportedly dismissed by Tim Polzer Email Posted: Mon Jul. 22, 2013 P.J. Hairston was arrested on misdemeanor charges, but all charges were reportedly dismissed. (Ed Zurga/Getty Images)All charges against North Carolina junior guard P.J. Hairston connected to his arrest in June have been dismissed, according to an InsideCarolina report that cites a Durham court clerk.Hairston and his two passengers -- Miykael Faulcon and Carlos Sanford -- were arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession during a license checkpoint on June 5. Hairston was also charged with driving without a license. The charges were dismissed on July 19.From InsideCarolina: According to court records, Hairston obtained and completed a drug assessment and the state decided not to proceed based on those actions.Hairston was also able to provide his current driver's license.According to the June 5 incident report, police seized a 9mm handgun, a magazine with nine rounds of ammunition and a plastic bag containing 41.1 grams of marijuana that were found outside of the car. On July 10, Durham Police Department spokesperson Kammie Michael said the department did not anticipate filing any additional charges in the case.Hairston's arrest led to a USA Today report that the 2013 GMC Yukon he was driving was rented in the name of Haydn "Fats" Thomas of Durham from June 2 to June 5 for a cost of $1,261.64.MCCANN: Why weren't current college basketball players added to Ed O'Bannon's lawsuit?Thomas told USA Today he was not a North Carolina booster and was not connected with a sports agent."I don't know P.J. Hairston," Thomas told USA TODAY Sports. "I know Miykael, his friend. I don't know anyone at Carolina. I don't even like the Carolina team. Look at the age disparity between me and those boys. I could be their father."USA Today also reported a May speeding ticket revealed Hairston was driving a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro rented under the name of Catinia Farrington listed at the same home address as Thomas.North Carolina coach Roy Williams issued a statement regarding Harrison's incidents and the serious consequences he will face last Monday."PJ and I have had several discussions already and he knows he has made serious mistakes and there will be serious consequences as a result," Williams said. "Certainly the idea of suspending PJ has been discussed. However, he is not currently enrolled in summer school, is not practicing with the team and we have no games until November. There are several options available in terms of discipline but we are going to wait until the process is complete to decide on those options." Promoted Stories Comments

I don't think Reiss tallies defensive packages yet, but I have the game tivo'd and will likely re-watch later this week. But based on my recollection, it seemed like Seau played more than Bruschi, and was really effective while he was in there. I noticed the run defense get a lot stingier when Seau started to get on the field more.
Based on pure knowledge of the game from memory. I would say Seau played more than Bruschi. But im almost positive i saw Bruschi involved in more plays/tackles than Seau. EDIT: Bruschi 3 solo tackles 1 ast Seau 3 solo tackles 2 ast THOMAS: 7 solo tackles 2 ast.
Personally would like to see a lot of rotation amongst our MLB, as this is where we have seemed to have had a lot of injuries the last couple of years, keep them fresh and keep them injury free as much as possible. I am not sure either one really cares about who gets more snaps, it is all about who wins.
Seau also got a few reps at FB too. They actually had him run a pass pattern in the endzone, but the LB had him well covered.
And Seau is at least four years older, right? Seau is a workout demon who realizes that's the only way he can keep playing. I wonder if Tedy works as hard in the offseason.
Yes he did. I expected Seau to see more reps on early downs, with Bruschi being brought in in passing downs. The last two games (SD & Bills) Bruschi's playing time has been very limited. The Herald saw the same thing. "3. It seems like there's been less of Tedy Bruschi, and more of Junior Seau, or, at the very least, that inside linebacker slot next to Adalius Thomas has become a tag-team tandem. Together, the spirited Seau (5) and Bruschi (4) had as many combined tackles as Thomas (9) , who led the team." Once the team is up by 20+ in the 4th quarter it is time to put in the backups (Alexander and even Mr. LB Larry Izzo). A banged up LB core in the playoffs would really hurt the overall defense. Looks like next year Seau and Bruschi have to be replaced.
Just because you see Seau blow up the middle and make the big play and pose for the cameras doesnt mean Teddy is not as good. In that scheme it has more to do with the head rather the physical. Seau has always been full tilt all the time which gets him a lot of tackles but he also gets out of position sometimes. Teddy may not blow up the play on every down but he is rarely out of position.
I'm sure he works out very hard. The guy is all heart. It actually hurts to see him lose a step, though. I love that man.
Bruschi has clearly lost a step ... but he still has effectiveness when placed in the proper situations. Bruschi used to be a 4-down LB and was great in coverage. It's the coverage part that has been taken away from him with Colvin and Thomas getting more of that. Let's not forget that this was the initial reason why Bruschi displaced Ted Johnson when Ted could no longer drop back to cover when need be and lost his lateral pursuit speed. Linebackers who cannot cover even once in a while are near useless in Belichick's defenses. It's amazing that Ted is still playing after the stroke ... he's on bonus time. If we win the Super Bowl I think he puts himself to pasture ... a well deserved retirement if ever there was one. Bruschi can make as much or more outside of the game as he can make playing it. My opinion is that Seau/Bruschi tandem will be replaced my a younger player next year.
Speaking of Bruschi I forgot to add how much i miss him vaulting over the line to make a play ... that was so special to see. The look on the offensive players faces was priceless ... like how did he get in here so quickly with a sealed line. To this day you still rarely see that from a linebacker ... Ted was special indeed in his younger days.
I think they both are special LBs.....It is good to see a rotation at the mlb....Keep fresh for the long haul....

Every day 46,000 Australian women are homeless.* Parramatta Mission is doing something about this. Join us in building the solution.
It may come as a surprise to learn that 44% of all people experiencing homelessness are female,* also that most homeless services are provided for men and very few for women. Parramatta Mission is working to raise hope for women facing homelessness.
Parramatta Mission's inaugural Raising Hope Gala was held on 27 June 2014 to launch the project of raising awareness and funds to establish crisis accommodation for women facing homelessness in Western Sydney.
Since the initial gala, we have taken modest steps towards the development and implementation of accommodation and support for women facing homelessness. A foundation has been established to sustain the project over the long term as we work towards our goal of developing pathways for women to transition out of homelessness.
There are multiple reasons and experiences that can lead to a woman facing homelessness, such as family breakdowns, employment challenges, violence or abuse, and the cost of living. Mental health is another common theme present in women facing homelessness, and when paired with the above factors, mental health symptoms can often be exacerbated.
While social housing is a temporary fix for women with complex needs, for many women it can only be seen as that, a temporary fix. A holistic approach toward meeting women's individual needs is a necessary requirement in reaching a more permanent solution.
Restrictions around implementing a more complete approach for individual women include limits to funding, affordable housing, access to therapeutic interventions and extensive time delays for professional intervention. These restrictions significantly impact on the healing process that is vital for women to connect with the community and maintain stable tenancies / housing over long periods of time.
Parramatta Mission, with your partnership, is doing something about this. Join us at the 2015 Raising Hope for Women Facing Homelessness Gala. Friday 29 May, 7pm – 11pm. WatervieW in Bicentennial Park.

Lynwood Country Club is very proud to be the official amalgamation partner with Castle Hill RSL Group securing the sustainability of the club and its facilities.
Castle Hill RSL Group has a membership of approximately 47,000 members which has increased by in excess of 27,000 during the past decade. This growth has been achieved as a result of a strategic shift in Board and Management policies and the decision to reinvest back into our venues and significantly expand our community engagement initiatives. During this time we have re-invested approximately $67m in building costs and $34m in plant and equipment. As a result the Group has an extremely solid asset base of $95.5m and is in a very strong financial situation for a hospitality venue and not-for-profit entity.
Castle Hill RSL Group has established itself during the past decade and is now a state of the art modern hospitality and sporting venue and its facilities and amenities are second to none and brand new. However, the true financial benefits of our recent capital expenditure programs will be realised in the years to come with only limited capital expenditure required at the Castle Hill RSL site, thus enabling the Group to concentrate heavily on its Parramatta and hopefully Lynwood sites.
The Board and management of the Castle Hill RSL Group are excited about the opportunity to further develop a premier nationally recognised Links Golf Course in the Hawkesbury region developing a future strategy for Lynwood Country Club transforming it into the social community hub for the Hawkesbury and Northwest sector through the provision of a Links golf course, accommodation, functions, café, restaurant and sporting infrastructure.
Castle Hill RSL's Group General Manager David O'Neil said "The Castle Hill RSL Club Group consists of the parent entity the Castle Hill RSL Club, C2K Fitness and Aquatic Centre and the Parramatta RSL Club. The Group's mission is to provide facilities, products, services and relationships which add value to our members and communities – we strive to operate a vibrant, exciting, entertainment, hospitality, sporting precincts that are central hub of our communities, relevant to all age and demographics operating in a profitable, efficient and effective manner".
The Group is passionate and committed to supporting our local communities and recognise that our entities in Castle Hill, Parramatta and hopefully Pitt Town need to have their own identity. All venues are vastly different and require an individual approach to servicing the needs of the members and their relevant communities.
The Group is extremely active within our local communities and nurtures and supports local projects providing in excess of one million dollars per year in direct and indirect donations and community support programs. Many of these initiatives are directed at youth through Sporting, Education and Leadership programs.
The Board of Directors and management of Castle Hill RSL Group are supported by Clubs NSW, the staff and members of Lynwood Country Club are building a solid business platform for the future growth and development of the Lynwood Country Club site and the promotion and expansion of golf. Lynwood has an opportunity to capture the community and provide a unique experience to its local and broader community. We believe in partnership we can create a successful future for Lynwood Country Club and it's growing communities.
Currently short and medium plans are under development to ensure that Lynwood Country Club is a vibrant entertainment and sporting precinct relevant to its communities. These plans include refurbishments of the club house, upgrading of the golf course and driving range. We are also committed to developing first class community engagement programs including a Golf Academy and Junior Golf Academy. Some minor works on the golf course have already commenced including repairs, maintenance and resigning.
We are excited to be part of the Pitt Town community and we look forward to sharing our Lynwood vision with you.
$30bn worth of investment is proposed for Western Sydney in the coming decade with some of this investment already underway and flowing through to the economy.
This is great news for the people and businesses of the West, however a key issue identified by WSBC through recent research and discussions with industry is that local Western Sydney Businesses are not necessarily getting access to work on infrastructure and other major projects that are already underway.
One of the key concerns is that local businesses are not receiving sufficient opportunities due to difficulties in joining supply chains and accessing preferred supplier lists with prime contractors the government has engaged.
Given the scale of the investment and opportunity that lies ahead it is critical for the Western Sydney economy that we address these issues.
WSBC considers this issue has two parts, firstly how can we address this as a short-term consideration, getting local supply chains working better together and ensure local Western Sydney SME's are getting fair access now to current projects.
Secondly, how can industry in Western Sydney be properly prepared for the future to take on as much work as possible from the upcoming investment boom? Keeping this money flowing back into the Western Sydney economy should be a major focus.
To address the short-term issues WSBC is calling on the government to work with all current prime contractors to review their preferred supplier lists and ensure local capabilities are being considered for Western Sydney work, creating a more diverse and local supply chain. WSBC's research showed local sub-contractor businesses clearly felt they don't have adequate access to major projects and they need help to understand what they need to do to be considered.
To address the long-term issue, WSBC believes that due to the massive scale of investment that will take place in Western Sydney, there is a real need to significantly improve communication and consultation with local industry in Western Sydney to maximise local procurement opportunities.
Don Wright from University of Western Sydney and a board member of WSBC, stated,
"The investment that will happen in Western Sydney over the next decade is a once in a generation opportunity for local business, but we have to work with local industry to prepare them ahead of time to capitalize on this opportunity. The government needs to engage with industry now to ensure comprehensive workforce planning is undertaken and that this planning is underpinned by high quality and timely information flows from government related to major projects. Business has to know the scale of what is ahead to adequately prepare".
To make this approach work, WSBC is calling on the government to give greater priority, urgency and status within government to work with local industry representatives, (such as WSBC, University of Western Sydney, TAFE WSi and RDA), to formulate a strategic plan to drive new employment and economic outcomes in Greater Western Sydney by harnessing procurement opportunities, particularly through the work of the new "Strategic Procurement Group".
We would like to see the Government draw together the skills and local knowledge of organizations to leverage procurement processes to provide sustainable outcomes for the Region. It will consider areas such as; effectively disseminating information about projects, identifying the opportunities of these projects and the skills required, further mapping the skills and training needs, industry engagement, professional education requirements, supply chain collaboration and even issues such as tender development capabilities.
WSBC calls upon the government to strongly support the work of this group and the development of legislation on local procurement for long-term support of business in the region.
WSBC is encouraging the group to look specifically at five key objectives;
Brendon Noney, President of WSBC stated, "Western Sydney is not looking for a handout. We just want to ensure that this massive amount of money that will be spent developing the region will flow through the local economy to create opportunities for local businesses and boost local jobs".
An introduction to the research
National accounting and advisory firm William Buck, in partnership with Western Sydney Business Connection, St George Bank and the University of Western Sydney will soon release the findings of recent research on Western Sydney businesses in the report "Making Western Sydney Greater".
The report includes insights into:
Amongst all the research, three key themes that emerge are employment, infrastructure and business sentiment.
Quick peek …
Business impediments and opportunities
The research found SME Businesses are positive in their employment intentions. As a group, they are expecting to increase employee numbers, in particular their full time employees and contractors. By way of contrast, large Businesses, on average, are intending to reduce their workforce.
Despite this positive outlook on employment, both SME Businesses and Large Businesses in the region cited workplace regulation and employment taxes as two of the most significant impediments to their businesses.
For SME businesses, their greatest threat comes from employment related regulation, which creates 2 of their top 3 business issues.
More than taxation, and materially more than import/export regulation and environmental laws, it is employment related regulation that is negatively impacting businesses. Changes to the current arrangements are required for SME businesses to develop to their full potential.
These same businesses see investment in their workforce as a key opportunity. Government support for training of employees was identified as a preferred way for structured support to be provided to businesses in the region.
Business sentiment
The "GWS Business Sentiment Index" was -4.9, showing a neutral to slightly negative business outlook. This is not only negative – but more negative than that of the general Australian business community.
This can be contrasted with the forecast financial performance of businesses in Western Sydney, which is positive.
On average, businesses expect to slightly exceed their revenue and profit targets and maintain capital expenditure over the coming six months. Financial performance is strongest for SME Businesses, in particular those with turnover of $2-$30m. Capex is strongest in the +$100m turnover businesses, but financial performance is weakest in this group.
The report's research shows the material difference in economic performance between the region as a whole, the SME Businesses, and the Large Businesses.
For example, the forecast revenue results for:
What next?
Western Sydney has a once in a generation opportunity. If the benefits of major projects in the region, such as the 'Badgerys Creek Airport', can be harnessed to drive and grow development of SME Businesses, the benefits for Western Sydney and New South Wales, could be enormous.
With a detailed plan for Western Sydney's development and growth, the skills and attributes of the workforce needed for its implementation can be identified. Businesses in the region should then be supported to invest in their employees and develop these skills and capabilities in a targeted way.
Local procurement combined with employee skills development, targeted at SME Businesses, will be an effective way to drive the growth and development of the Western Sydney economy.
Get involved …
The Making Western Sydney Greater report will be released in early March 2015 to all those that completed the research and to those that want to participate in the next stage of this ongoing research.

Mike Conway, leadership specialist and corporate innovator, will create and deliver a world-first in experiential-based leadership for the award-winning MBA program run by Macquarie Graduate School of Management, Australia's top business school. MGSM today announced the exciting new unit and the appointment of Mr Conway as an Adjunct Professor, who will draw on his outstanding skills and achievements to mentor its next generation of business leaders from April 2015.
Professor Conway is the CEO and Founder of XVenture, a fast-growing group specialising in creative and innovative solutions for business, leadership, team and experientially based learning programs. His achievements include creating the television series XVenture Corporate Challenge, the XV141 digital business channel, and the extraordinary 100 Leaders program which is presented through Event cinemas.
MGSM has been working with XVenture since its executive, senior staff and students tested a two-day, hands-on XVenture Challenge last year.
Professor Alex Frino, Dean of MGSM, said: "After undertaking the XVenture Challenge it was obvious that this has to be a key part of future learning. The aim is to take students out of the classroom and into the field to test out traditional management ideas.
"XVenture's approach is unique, with a blend of challenges reflecting contemporary business as well as an understanding of reflective learning practice – something which is often lacking in MBA studies. This program delivers important management theory in an online program before taking students into the field in a radical new experiential learning experience.
"XVenture has tremendous dedication, commitment and standards in this field. The work they have undertaken with major corporations and the research they continuously gather on how teams and leaders succeed is very powerful."
The future-proof MBA module consists of 12 mini-lectures and recorded lectures delivered by MGSM's top academic team, including Prof Frino, and produced jointly by XVenture and MGSM.
This elective unit, a global first titled "Leadership & Teams in Action – XVenture", will be offered from Term 2. It includes a set of introductory mini-lectures and a two-day, experience-based XVenture Challenge to complete the module. The entire Challenge is filmed and post-produced on site, and the video is used for learning during and after the program.
Prof Conway said: "The Challenge is a big job, but the benefits and impact on an individual's learning are so significant. To work with MGSM is one of the most exciting projects I have ever been involved with and I can't wait to see the first MGSM MBA students enrolling.
"This new learning module provides the platform for individuals to explore leadership styles and test assumptions by combining e-learning and real-world experience to give students a rigorous, academic and transformative MBA experience."
Prof Frino said: "This immersive and integrated, experience-based learning program gives every participant the opportunity to work on their own development in a unique team environment.
"It is a perfect fit for MBA programs, the breeding ground for tomorrow's leaders. They are the finishing school for middle managers gunning for senior leadership positions, and the place where the national stock of leadership capital is being developed."
The report by Deloitte and respected urban planner, Rod Simpson, Restarting Sydney's Heart – Light Rail the Engine of Change examines the opportunities and issues that a light rail line along Sydney's Olympic Corridor would deliver. The Olympic Corridor begins at Westmead and connects the Greater Parramatta area with Rosehill, Camellia, Olympic Park, Rhodes and Strathfield.
The report was commissioned by the WestLine Partnership, comprising of some of Sydney's leaders in business, government, sport and development, and has been released as the NSW Government considers four proposed light rail options as part of Stage 1 of the Western Sydney Light Rail Network.
WestLine spokesperson and Chair of the Western Sydney Leadership Dialogue, Christopher Brown AM, said that the Deloitte report indicated that the creation of two light rail lines – one from Rosehill to Carlingford and the other from Westmead to Strathfield/Rhodes along the Olympic Corridor, was not only cost-effective, but would also unlock the potential of one of Australia's fastest growing regions.
"The report findings show that there is a strong argument for the route along the Olympic Corridor, which will stimulate the growth of more smart jobs, homes and development," he said.
"This is not a case of one or the other, we feel that the people of Western Sydney deserve both this line and the other line to Carlingford. This report not only reaffirms that view, but also reveals that it could potentially be self-funded by the private sector.
"Essentially, this is a two-for-one deal for the NSW Government. A deal which would add thousands of jobs and homes, and provide a once in a lifetime opportunity to totally re-think Sydney."
Under the proposal outlined in the Deloitte report, the light rail line along the Olympic Corridor could be funded through a voluntary contribution model for the private sector. This involves land owners who elect to take up density uplift incentives along the light rail route putting up money for the project.
It is a similar approach to the one successfully adopted to fund the recent Homebush Bay Bridge development between Rhodes and Wentworth Point.
"The Olympic Corridor is an often over-looked region when it comes to transport infrastructure, but over the next 20 years, with the right support, it is expected to house more than one third of all new jobs and almost 20 per cent of new dwellings," Mr Brown said.
"For this, and many other factors outlined in the report, it can no longer be ignored."
The Deloitte report highlights that by 2036 more than 190,000 people are expected to be living in the Olympic Corridor, putting significant pressure on the existing transport network.
It highlights that renewal and revitalisation of the Olympic Corridor catalysed by a light rail link provides the opportunity to connect established knowledge, business, health, recreation and cultural precincts in Parramatta, Strathfield and Sydney Olympic Park. At the same time, creating new housing and employment, attracting new businesses and investment and improving urban productivity.
Mr Brown added that the WestLine Partnership had held positive talks with the NSW Government, NSW Opposition and other key stakeholders over the past three months and would continue to engage with these groups and the broader community to research the opportunities and issues that exist along the Olympic Corridor.
Restarting Sydney's Heart –Light Rail the Engine of Change
What a light rail line along the Olympic Corridor will deliver:
WestLine Partnership Members: ANZ Stadium, Australian Turf Club, Billbergia, Dexus, Goodman Group, GPT Group, NRMA, Payce Consolidated, Accor, Royal Agricultural Society of NSW, Sekisui House, Sydney Olympic Park Authority, Sydney Olympic Park Business Association, Sydney Business Chamber, City of Canada Bay, Auburn City Council.
Supporters: AECOM, GIS, FDC, University of Western Sydney, Graf International, McCollough Robertson
Up to 108,000 new jobs could be created as a result of building a light rail route from Parramatta to Sydney Olympic Park and beyond to Rhodes and Strathfield. This is one of the findings in a new report by Deloitte, commissioned and launched this week by the WestLine Partnership, a consortium of Western Sydney business and government leaders.
The Deloitte report, Restarting Sydney's Heart: An Examination of a Proposed Light Rail through the Olympic Corridor, was written in consultation with respected urban designer, Roderick Simpson, to report on the opportunities and issues that exist if a light rail route is built along the Olympic Corridor (the area of Western Sydney extending from Westmead through Camellia and Silverwater to Sydney Olympic Park and beyond to Rhodes and Strathfield). The route is one of four the NSW Government is considering for future light rail connections.
The Deloitte report highlights that by 2036 more than 190,000 people are expected to be living in the Olympic Corridor, putting significant pressure on the existing transport network. It highlights that renewal and revitalisation of the Olympic Corridor catalysed by a light rail link provides the opportunity to connect established knowledge, business, health, recreation and cultural precincts in Parramatta, Strathfield and Sydney Olympic Park. At the same time as creating new housing, attracting new businesses and investment, creating new employment and improving urban productivity.
Theo Psychogios from Deloitte says: "We have provided an objective perspective on the urban renewal benefits that would come from improving connectivity in this area if a light rail line was built. In our view light rail would not only improve accessibility along the Olympic Corridor, but importantly, support and drive future employment, investment and residential growth."
The report also proposes a voluntary contribution model for private sector funding to construct a light rail line to Sydney Olympic Park. This involves land owners who elect to take up density uplift incentives along the light rail route putting up money for the project. This approach helps to address what is often a key constraint for infrastructure development: lack of government funding. It also allows the private sector to contribute to urban regeneration and drive future investment in housing and employment. This approach presents an opportunity for the Government to roll out its network faster through private sector funding that offers the Government two lines for the price of one.
The Deloitte report concludes that construction of a light rail line through the Olympic Corridor presents a unique opportunity for the government and private sector to work collaboratively to deliver infrastructure, jobs and homes for Western Sydney and NSW. It strongly encourages the Government to consider this model and engage relevant land owners to negotiate a contribution funding deal that can bring the vision of the Olympic Corridor to life.

A BOLD plan to create an innovation corridor throughout Western Sydney could generate up to 80,000 jobs over the next decade and see the region become the nation's own Silicon Valley.
The independent economic development strategy, which has the backing of three tiers of government and the business community, proposes the creation of innovation hubs — suburbs that specialise in different industries.
The blueprint, developed by the University of Western Sydney, plans for medical, science, technology, aviation and agribusiness hubs, each dotted along the outer Sydney orbital corridor and centred around the long-awaited Badgery's Creek airport.
The widely backed plan also includes a proposal to build a $20 million Western Sydney Science Centre, similar to the renowned Questacon science and technology facility in Canberra, to be built at the UWS's Penrith campus.
Western Sydney Innovation Arc
At the core of the UWS strategy are key hubs.
It proposes a large health and medical research hub be created in Macarthur, connected directly to the new population within the South-West Growth Centre (Oran Park, Leppington, Austral).
In conjunction with a private sector plan to build a Sydney Science Park, a centre of science, development and research would be created around Luddenham. This hub would focus on becoming a leading international centre for research and development in food, energy and health.
Further north, the blueprint proposes a hi-tech business hub at Werrington Park "that focuses on activating and growing technology and innovation-orientated businesses''.
It has already been dubbed Sydney IQ and has the backing of Federal Foreign Minister Julie Bishop.
"By creating a whole innovation corridor, there will be more jobs, opportunities and people living here,'' Ms Bishop told The Daily Telegraph. "This part of Western Sydney then becomes a hub for a smart economy … this is how Silicon Valley started.''
At the core of the arc is Badgerys Creek airport which, according to the blueprint must be surrounded by an aerotropolis business hub.

As the footage rolls during Gas Station Ghost — Recut, we see the news story begin. A cable TV reporter says, "An eerie, luminous, blue, ghostly image caught on surveillance video last Sunday..." The Captain interrupts the broadcast by tossing aside the screen, and we hear the sound of shattering glass.
"Well," he says, "I've taken it upon myself to correct the problem, one news story at a time." The Captain's lap is covered with loose videotape, and he holds a pair of scissors. "Using the latest video editing technology, I've altered the famous segment about the gas station ghost caught on security camera into the way it should have been produced, had the journalist actually done her job." The Captain shares with his audience a look of profound disgust. Then, brightening, he gathers together his pile of loose film. "So! Let's go to the tape." The Captain tosses the film toward the camera, and we're off.
To begin with, the news story looks just like it always did, only now the news anchor says "an eerie, luminous, blue bug caught on surveillance video last Sunday." The gas station is still crowded with people oohing and ahhing. But then! There's the Captain, standing in the gas station with the rest of them! "It was a bug," he says. "A small insect? In front of the lens? See, most security cameras outside are housed in a kind of weather-resistant casing" — the Captain holds up his left hand; floating above it is a rotating computer model of a security camera — "with a piece of glass in front of the lens. And, uh, that was where the insect was crawling."
Flash to another witness from the original broadcast: "Angels. There was an angel here." Then a balding man says, "There was an old Indian reservation here, from what I understand" — and there's the Captain again! Punching the bald dude in the face! Baldy goes down!
Another witness notes he's being exploited for "shallow, sensationalist bullshit."
As we get a last look at the entity, the reporter says, "Too bad it's not the ghost of cheap gas prices. Those too are gone with the wind." As the entity flutters away, she concludes, "In Parma, Ohio. I feel like a cheap whore, and I'm going to go kill myself now."

"It is one of many parasitical Rothschild Central Banks infesting the world stage," he wrote on www.holywesternempire.org. "Its power ascends over every U.S. citizen from cradle to grave. Every dollar in your wallet is a note issued by the FED. The U.S. Government redeems that note (principal and interest) with your taxes. Through its enormous resources and power the FED controls the machinery of the U.S. Government."
A neighbor in Maryland described von Brunn as a standoffish man who didn't socialize with neighbors. The neighbor expressed shock upon hearing von Brunn had been identified as the alleged shooter.
"My God, I live next to that man," Harold O'Lynnger, 82, told ABC News.
O'Lynnger recalled a comment von Brunn had made over drinks three months ago that the media had been giving the Holocaust too much attention.
A statement by museum director Sara Bloomfield, obtained by ABC News, confirmed the death of the security guard and said: "There are no words to express our grief and shock over today's events."
"It is my sad duty to inform you of the passing of Officer Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died heroically in the line of duty today," Bloomfield continued. "He served on the Museum's security staff for six years. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Johns' family."
Bloomfield said that the museum will remain closed Thursday in honor of Johns.
Johns' son, Stephen T. Johns Jr., told reporters that his father "was a loving father and he was my hero."
The victim's stepfather, Leroy Carter, described Johns as a "responsible human being," and said that with Johns' job at the Holocaust Museum, he "didn't have to worry about the line of work" his stepson was in. Carter didn't think the job would be dangerous but said it "backfired."
Carter said he found out about the shooting on the radio and called his wife and Johns' wife. He also informed Johns' namesake son.
President Obama released a statement Wednesday evening honoring Johns and calling for vigilance against prejudice.
"I am shocked and saddened by today's shooting at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum," Obama's statement read. "This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms. No American institution is more important to this effort than the Holocaust Museum, and no act of violence will diminish our determination to honor those who were lost by building a more peaceful and tolerant world.
"Today, we have lost a courageous security guard who stood watch at this place of solemn remembrance," Obama added. "My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends in this painful time."
Von Brunn allegedly entered the museum with a .22-caliber rifle and exchanged gunfire with Johns, law enforcement officials said. Two other guards returned fire and wounded the alleged gunman.
The incident took place just before 1 p.m. ET, D.C. Metro Police Chief Cathy Lanier said.
Ambulances transported both wounded men to George Washington University Hospital in Washington. Medical personnel treated a third person hurt by glass at the scene of the incident.

Akinfenwa future still uncertain
Northampton Town's failure to win promotion has left top scorer Adebayo Akinfenwa uncertain about his future.The 28-year-old striker, who scored 17 goals this season, was strongly linked to former club Swansea last August. Akinfenwa told BBC Radio Northampton: "Every player will tell you they want to play as high as possible. That has to be in my thoughts for next season. "But I enjoy it here, I've got love for Northampton and it's the longest I've ever been at one club, so we'll see." Aki.... read more

Bishop Schnase's book is emphasis for Tenn. Conference.
United Methodist bishop Robert Schnase has written a popular book about strengthening local churches. Many congregations and regional conferences have used this as the basis for rethinking how they do ministry. The Tennessee Annual Conference is no different. For the past couple years it has been going through each of the Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations and taking time with guests speakers to reflect on them.
These five practices are:
Radical hospitality
Passionate worship
Intentional faith development
Risk-taking mission and service
Extravagant generosity
Schnase says that the point in having these five practices is to "give congregations a common language." A common language is important to conveying that message. As the leader of the Missouri Episcopal Area, Schnase wanted to help the congregations and pastors in his area come together to bear more fruit for God. Thus he wrote this book, which was published by the Nashville-based Abingdon Press, for the entire church.
Five practices are simple enough for church members to get their heads around and still have choice as to what areas they could best focus on. The bishop further goes on to say that the adjectives used with each of these practices could be interchanged. Yet, the important thing is that one should take a step beyond what is typical. Hospitality, worship, faith development, mission and service and generosity are all important; however, congregations need to take them to a higher level where the emphases become much more obvious in our lives.
Please join me the conversation here, and on the Deacon's Word blog, as we explore each of these practices of fruitful congregations. Feel free to check out Bishop Schnase's own Five Practices blog. The five practices are not only being studied at the conference level, the Nashville District is also including them in local training. Furthermore, individual congregations are using the book to explore how effective they are in ministry.

AB Svensk Exportkredit`s (SEK) earnings for the first nine months of the year were strong. We have significant capacity to provide the Swedish export industry with large volumes of long-term financing if the economic situation in the financial markets deteriorates.
- Operating profit (IFRS) for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to Skr 1,210.2 million (9M10: Skr 971.7 million)
- Adjusted operating profit (Core Earnings, ie the result excluding unrealized changes in value) for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to Skr 1,107.7 million (9M10: Skr 1,048.6 million)
- The volume of new customer financing solutions for the first nine months of 2011 amounted to Skr 34.2 billion (9M10: Skr 39.1 billion) and the volume of outstanding offers for loans amounted to Skr 60.3 billion at the end of the first nine months of 2011 (Year-end 2010: Skr 86.6 billion)
- After-tax return on equity amounted to 9.8 percent for the first nine months of 2011 (9M10: 7.2 percent)
- Primary capital relation amounted to 22.6 percent at the end of the first nine months of 2011 (Year-end 2010: 22.4 percent)
"The Swedish export industry has high competitiveness. We now see a significantly higher risk of the economic situation in many of the world`s leading economies making it harder for Swedish exporters to access to finance. To support the export industry`s competitiveness SEK is continued ready to meet the significant increase in demand for long-term financing from Swedish exporters that could be the result if the situation deteriorates," said SEK President Peter Yngwe.
Operating profit was strong, amounting to Skr 1,210.2 million for the period, compared with Skr 971.7 million for the same period in 2010. The increase in earnings is mainly due to unrealized changes in fair value and a realized profit from the sale of SEK`s former office building. The result for the third quarter amounted to Skr 253.3 million, a decrease compared to the same period the previous year which is mainly due to unrealized changes in fair value.

LOL...that's probably the most honest opinion in this thread yet! Very good!
As for the scenario, I'm willing to bet that this is the type of place that you go to after the bars, which means that if we had been in the situation, 95% of us would have been unarmed. I know, "I don't drink anymore, I wouldn't be in that positions..." but it is a theoretical discussion.
It's actually a lot more interesting to talk about what you would do if you were a bystander anyway. I know I wouldn't draw in that situation to stop a beat down. I would look to get out and find cover/conceal. But here's a question:
What if Gorilla Man continued to beat the guy into a pulp, to a point that it looked like he was going to kill him? If this turned into something more than a simple beat down, with Gorilla Man and Star stomping repeatedly on his head, would you do anything then?
In that situation, I might shoot the guy (and I would be justified if I truly feared the guy's life was in danger). Not sure. I do know that it would be hard for me, at least, to live with the idea that I watched a man be killed while I did nothing.

Safehotels Safety Certification Awarded to Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport!
Press release • Nov. 19, 2014; 8:50 a.m. CET
The newly turned two-year old, Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport takes pride in being awarded Safehotels Premium Certification. This certification recognizes the hotel's high international standard of safety.
The management together with all the staff has, since opening in November 2012, worked actively to make the hotel a safe facility for our guests and staff. The work that has led to the certification has entailed an extensive assessment of the property involving an evaluation of 220 safety points. Ongoing visits by Safehotels – both planned and spontaneous – will ensure that we maintain a high safety standard throughout the organization.
For us, our work with safety is extremely important and something we work hard for. We prioritize this for both our guests as well as for our staff to ensure that they feel safe with us, says Henrik Berghult, CEO of Clarion Hotel Arlanda Airport. We host not only Swedish visitors but even many foreign visitors and the security aspect is becoming increasingly important for them in their choice of choosing a hotel/venue. Now we are certified but not done. Our work to maintain a high safety standard is ongoing and ever evolving, adds Henrik.
Safehotels Premium Level Certificate is awarded to the large conference and business travel hotels with a high international standard of safety. Having received the Premium certification indicates that the hotel has invested in advanced safety equipment that deserves a higher level of certification than Safehotels Standard certificate Level. The hotel has also demonstrated a very high preparedness when it comes to the handling of VIP and conference security. Safehotels certifications are developed by experts in the safety, hotel and conference industries, as well as by its customers.
