Best Free Rootkit Scanner and Remover
My co-worker John C from our east coast office came across a page on Malwarebytes' forums and thought I would share since we are putting together our tools for threat removal. The use of italics is my clumsy way of differentiating what I'm writing to Gizmo's readers and what I published to colleagues. Here is the page Malware Removal Guides and Self Help Guides.
If you read the first post it refers to Chameleon. This is a tool within Malwarebytes that can find and stop running processes form malware and is very useful on fake alert threats. Chameleon is in a sub folder within the Malwarebytes' main folder.
Below are my testing results that I published to my colleagues with some edits in order to present this to you in an easier to understand language. We are all IT folk so I tend to write to them differently than I would write to Gizmo's readers. Below I speak about System Check which is a rather nasty fake alert. In my next upcoming post I am going to present some methods for removal of these threats along with reviews of Rootkit Scanners. It has been very busy at work and I perform testing in my spare time, of which there has been very little. But I wanted to share this with you so you can add Chameleon to your USB stick.
Below, MBAM is short for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. And Rkill is another tool for stopping processes which I will comment on later. The next two paragraphs are from my letter to co-workers:
I tested Chameleon on System Check which is worse than most of the fake alerts in that it hides, everything. I stepped through the instructions listed in the first post of the link provided. I clicked the first box and it opened a small DOS window and then proceeds to kill processes and then update and run MBAM. All of this worked great, and had an unexpected side effect. When it killed the process I think it also killed the ability of this 'New and Improved' System Check from deactivating your partitions. I rebooted and came right back into Windows albeit with a black desktop and everything hidden, but it booted!! (But keep in mind, I ran this right after infection, your user will have rebooted probably. More on this below.) I didn't clean it when MBAM ran this first time because John found that you can run Chameleon as a standalone from your USB stick, and I wanted to test. Sure enough, I copied the whole Chameleon folder over and ran the file from there. Chameleon worked just as it did before, perfect.
So this will be a permanent addition to my USB stick. This will give us the ability to stop the processes fake alerts are running right from your USB and then be able to install and run MBAM without it being compromised. Rkill works much the same way, but is a bit dicey when it runs. In order to shutdown what's running it will actually rename files. This can be bad however because now MBAM or whatever is being used may not find the renamed file. I would always note the path from Rkill and rename it back to original so MBAM could find it.
I have other news I wanted to share with you about a tool I'm building that will reverse the damage done by the these fake alerts like System Check I refer to above, when they hide all of your menus and folders. I had posted it here but it was too lengthy. I will post a link to it so that you can read it at your leisure. Until than please check out Chameleon as it will be a good addition to any USB stick.

Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide
There are a lot of anti-rootkit programs available, a lot of this software is very advanced and requires an experienced and technical minded user who is familiar with computers and operating systems. However, there are a couple of options that do not require much technical ability and are also very effective.
The new Top pick is Kaspersky TDSSKiller. It has an easy to use GUI, fast scan times, great detection rate and is user friendly.
TDSS Killer managed to detect and remove all modern rootkits tested (TDSS, Zeus, TDLV4, etc). The only down side is TDSS Killer seems to have a narrow range of the rootkits it detects but hopefully more types will be added over time. If more strains are added this may become the definitive tool for removal of rootkits.
In my testing what it's designed to scan for it finds every time and removes it easily and positively. The positives far outweigh the negatives on this one. TDSS Killer also includes 64 bit functionality which is a huge plus.
I have two top choices for all the experienced and technical users GMER and RootRepeal. These are very popular applications, but it takes someone pretty knowledgeable about computer systems to be able to interpret the results. You can find a lot of documentation on both programs but if you are the type of person (like me) who likes to click the scan button and simply wait for the results, you would be better served with TDSS Killer.
For the average user I cannot recommend either of these as without comprehensive computer knowledge the results would be very hard to interpret. I even have a hard time understanding the data. In my work I usually have no time to refer to the documentation and must move quickly to restore a computer to working condition. However, if a particularly difficult infection is present these tools are invaluable because of the wealth of information. I prefer GMER as I find the initial scanning process easier to use and it had a better detection rate han RootRepeal.
Avast Anti-Rootkit resembles a command prompt window but is fairly easy to use. It lets you scan your computer and MBR for rootkits and even fixes any issues. Understanding the output from Avast Anti-rootkit may be a little hard for some users but it does the job well. I tested it against TDSS and several other modern rootkits and it found all of them. Removal on the other hand was not as good as some of the other tools. But what it does have is a very useful tool that I personally would not be without; the ability to perform FixMBR right from within Windows. Normally one would have to boot to a Windows XP disc or Windows 7 recovery disc to perform this command but Avast Anti-Rootkit has a built in 'FixMBR' button that with one click will write a new Master Boot Record which is often necessary in the removal of rootkits. This is very useful as you may not always have a Windows disc on hand in the field. I keep this on my USB drive at all times.
The next product that I looked at is one that I always keep in my toolkit. Dr.Web CureIt! is not a standalone anti-rootkit tool like the other tools I recommended, rather it is a free malware scanner and removal tool that happens to be pretty effective at removing some rootkits but doesn't detect the modern threats in my testing. It is always a good idea to have more than one tool capable of removal, so Dr. Web's freeware scanner is a great addition to anybody's arsenal. What I have found useful is the sandbox environment it creates when it's run. This is good as it stops all processes that some malware may try to run. It is also able to deep scan your drive and you can reboot back into this environment for further scanning and removal.
Other Rootkit Scanners and Removers
Sophos Anti-Rootkit has a small but easy to use interface with no options other than choosing where you want to scan. As it scans it opens up to a slightly larger interface where it lists the results of the scan and gives you information about each result as well as a recommendation for them. Additionally, a small help file is available that explains the program in a little more detail and gives directions on how to use the command line anti-rootkit tool which is also included. This would be a great tool if it was kept up-to-date but in my testing it failed to find or remove any of the modern threats I tested.
F-Secure Blacklight is another great tool for rootkit removal. Unfortunately, support for it ended a couple of years ago. However, you can still download it on the F-Secure web site and it is compatible with Windows Vista and XP.
Still works well for older rootkits but gives "Incompatible" error if ran on Windows 7. Blacklight is also unable to detect most modern rootkits and therefore, I recommend one of the other tools for now.
Prevx Free, the free version of Prevx, offers the same class leading real time detection of the full version but unfortunately it doesn't offer much more than this. Prevx Free is only capable of cleaning select infections, such as Adware, the ZEUS banking trojan, and MBR rootkits. When dealing with rootkits detection is definitely very important, so even if you can't clean all infections you might at least be alerted, enabling you to take further action and manually remove the rootkit or seek help in doing so. As hard as it is to detect the newer, ever evolving rootkits and viruses, Prevx can be a very powerful and informative addition to your regular anti-virus software.
Additionally, Prevx Free can run customized scans from the context menu and also gives you the ability to schedule scans. Another plus is that it scans quickly. The free version also offers protection of stored cookies as well as protection for all of your saved credentials. There is also a browser protection component in the free version but it only offers custom protection on only one web site of your choice. It does however, give the full Prevx Safe Online protection, which includes anti-phishing, protection against hijacks, keyloggers, and cookie stealers for a number of popular websites such as PayPal, or Amazon and of course the one website of your choice.
I have included the previous editor's information above but would note that given the limited functionality of Prevx Free, I mainly use it for detection. Often I need to not only detect but to remove in one scan using one tool.
As I mentioned above I will leave links to the applications mentioned here as they might work for you and be your favorites. I don't want to discourage the use of any of them but the ones I haven't had much success with are in the Other Scanners section; so I cannot recommend them. If they work for you that's great and I would love to hear of your successes in the comments section.
Along with my goal to provide help is also to give you only what I have found that works. I am always open however to learning of new methods and tools. I love tools and am a firm believer that you cannot have too many. In the ever changing world of threat removal we need many tools to detect and remove.

my understanding is that avast's uses the gmer engine. since it clearly identifies the detections with no user interpretation, i prefer it. plus, you can download the avast antivirus signatures with it to use as a demand scanner.
TDSSKiller has been updated to v18.104.22.168 (2013.10.15)

1) How can we know if some process is downloading something in the background silently ?
2)How to Identify which Process is downloading something in the background ?
3) How to track at what locations what files are being downloaded (other than the one which we choose to download at a particular location or the ones that we can usually see in the download managers etc.)
4) We can use the software like OpenedFilesView(http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/opened_files_view.html) which can give us an insight of which files are actively locked and being changed with the size, but one needs to be an expert to track what is happening.
So is there any software which can give us a realtime view of which process is downloading what thing from which site and downloading it to what location? (I feel Firewall does not give indepth information). This can help us find the Trojan/rootkit activities or the malicious softwares updating itself in the background or adding up space on our harddisk silently in the background without our notice.
Any Expert input on this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance :)

Hi all! It seems that F-Secure's website doesn't provide BlackLight any more.
Provided link redirects to http://www.f-secure.com/en/web/home_global/internet-security that is other product and it's not free. I have found a valid download link here: http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/F-Secure-BlackLight-Rootkit-Detect... (it's a beta).

This is beta software with a very sporadic development cycle and therefore not recommended. MC - Site Manager.
Can you please see if Comodo Cleaning Essentials (CCE) would be well suited for inclusion in this article? It's already featured in the article about the Best Free Trojan Scanner and Remover:
but it also appears to be quite good at finding rootkits.

- Highly recommend the Ranger II for its durability and light weight. Well worth the price. Review by djh
My other two burner from Camp Chef does not have the housing. Had to keep an eye on it so on low the flame wouldn't go out. I loved it. But after getting the Ranger II I take it instead unless I'm going with a bigger group and need two stoves.
With the ignitor, my boys are able to get the stove going in the am to start the water for hot coco and coffee. Just can't be any easier.
Highly recommend the Ranger II stove from Camp Chef. Another of their durable effective products. (Posted on 2/6/13)
Pros: Heavy Duty, Durable

There will come a time when your need for portability will match your need for cooking power. In the past this choice has forced you to choose between the two.

Real People Losing Serious Weight*Results in Testimonials are atypical and individual results may vary.
Erin went from a size 12 to a size 3!
"I first ordered Lipofuze after I had tried to shed the 70 pounds I gained from my pregnancy on my own with no success. I had tried several over the counter diet pills as well as spending the majority of my time exercising. I started taking Lipofuze in October 2009 when I was a size 12. After Lipofuze I was back to my size 8 that I was before pregnancy.
I didn't expect to lose anymore, but now in May 2010, I am wearing a size 5 and I am in the best shape I've been in since I was 12! At 29 I feel better than I felt at 18. I do go to the gym daily, but now it's fun and easy. Lipofuze gives me extra energy, and I am actually sculpting my body now... something I never thought would be possible. This is the only diet pill that I've ever had such effortless results. With a healthy diet and exercise I am on top of the world, and will never go back to that other me. I would recommend this pill to anyone."
- Erin Warwick
Elijah went from 336 POUNDS Down to 232 POUNDS!
"I've used lipofuze during the year 1/08-6/08 and during that time I went from 336lbs to my current weight right now at 232 lbs. Never in my wildest dreams would I picture myself fitting into a size 34 jeans where my first year in college I was squeezing into a 46!!! Lipofuze has changed my life in more words than I could describe, instead of watching life past me by I'm out there grabbing it by the reins and enjoying it!"
- Elijah Johnson
Heather has lost 40 POUNDS!
"My name is Heather and for me, Lipofuze was a dream! I have never been fully satisfied with the way my body looked, I have a large rib cage and have been a swimmer all of my life, so my body structure has always been on the big side. When I stopped swimming, my body seemed to grow bigger by the day and it's hard to really notice when you are consumed with other responsibilities; however, one day I looked at myself in the mirror and was very unhappy with what I saw. I decided to go in search of some help. I read a bunch of reviews online and decided to go with Lipofuze.
With the first bottle of taking it I dropped around 20 pounds, and not just on the scale, people noticed....big time! My body looked like it never did before, even when I was around the same weight while swimming; it was really as if I was shrinking! Of course the first month was the simplest, but keeping with it, I changed my eating habits and exercised daily, I am now down about 40 pounds after not even a year!
I do not need to starve myself, if I feel like a cheesesteak, I will have one....but you have to know your limits. I will continue using Lipofuze for as long as it's out there, it has changed my physical appearance tremendously and I could not be happier! If you have any doubts, a picture is worth a thousand words, and I think mine are worth much more than that!"
- Heather Schnepp
Amy went from a size 14 to a SIZE 6!
"My name is Amy, I am 35 yrs. old. I started my struggle with weight loss at age 30. I was 25lbs over weight. I have tried every diet and exercise plan I could find but nothing seem to work for me. I did a little research on diet pills and found Lipofuze. I was amazed at the results. After receiving my first bottle of Lipofuze I had lost the 25 lbs. that had been bothering me. I have been taking lipofuze for 6 months. I have lost a total of 38lbs. I used to wear a size 12-14 but I am proud to say I am now wearing size 4-6. Thank you Lipofuze!!! I could not have done it without you."
- Amy Hildebrant
Lipofuze vs Other Diet Pills
There are so many fat burners on the market. How do you know which fat burners actually work? SIMPLE. Look at the science. By combining 5 clinically proven ingredients, LipoFuze presents the perfect formula to help you with one thing only: LOSE WEIGHT! This revolutionary thermogenic compound is the best fat burner on the market today. And Guess What? IT'S BACKED BY SCIENCE!
THE SCIENCE OF LOSING WEIGHT & BURNING FAT : I know you have heard over and over that eating less and exercising more is the only way you will lose weight the right way. BUT, THIS IS ACTUALLY NOT TRUE. Traditional weight loss usually happens in the form of losing water weight and muscle mass. This means you may have shaved pounds off of your scale, but you do not look like you lost any weight.
Of course, with regular exercise and a healthy diet, you are creating a healthier body and you may initially see the fat burner benefits. But, after the initial surge, most people hit a wall. EVEN WITH INCREASED EXERCISE AND LESS EATING, you will actually see a decrease in metabolic rate and energy levels. This is because your brain starts to work against you and decreases your fat burning process as it forces your body into survival mode.
Only by incinerating fat and increasing lean muscle, you get the right results. The good news is that LipoFuze has come up with the perfect way to do this. LipoFuze increases the metabolic mechanism in your body, increases essential fat burning enzymes, and suppresses your appetite to help you sculpt your body into perfect form as the best fat burner and muscle builder available. So how is this possible?
Green Coffee Bean Extract 50% Chlorogenic Acid - There's been a lot of buzz about this ingredient since Dr. Oz featured it on his show. The active ingredient in Green Coffee Extract is chlorogenic acid. It boosts metabolism while inhibiting the release of glucose. Its effectiveness was recently confirmed in a human trial.
Subjects supplementing green coffee extract lost 10.5% of their bodyweight in just 22 weeks.
You can't get these benefits of green coffee from a brewed cup of coffee. Roasting the beans removes the chlorogenic acid. Lipofuze contains a potent extract containing 50% chlorogenic acid.
Irvingia Gabonensis (7% albumins) - This proven weight loss ingredient is a rare extract that works by decreasing your appetite and increasing your body's ability to burn fat. Several clinical trials have concluded that Irvingia Gabonensis significantly decreases body fat. In one study, the average subject lost 28.1 pounds!
Green Select Phytosome (Green Tea Extract) - This ultra-potent form of Green Tea targets stubborn fat cells throughout your body. In one clinical trial, 50 subjects lost an average of 30.52 pounds by taking Green Select Phytosome alone.
Co-EnZyme Q-10 - Co-EnZyme Q-10 plays an important role in metabolism. As you age, levels of Co-EnZyme Q-10 decrease. By replenishing your body with Co-EnZyme Q-10, you can increase your metabolic rate and increase your overall calorie burn.
Caffeine Anhydrous is known for boosting energy, alertness and focus. Many can't start a day without it. What you may not know is that caffeine helps increase energy expenditure (calorie and fat burning). As a matter of fact, in one clinical trial at the University of Denmark, subjects supplementing caffeine increased energy expenditure by 6%. While it's not nearly as impressive as the other ingredients in Lipofuze, it will help you reach your weight loss goals faster.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Because Lipofuze is one of the top fat burners, can I lose weight too quickly with LipoFuze?
A: If you find yourself losing more than 1 pound per day decrease the dosage. Many customers in the past have had issues with losing too much weight with LipoFuze and we do not recommend trying to lose weight too fast. It's not healthy to lose weight too fast and we suggest careful attention to how much weight you lose with LipoFuze.
Q: Do I have to Exercise and Diet to see results?
A: Even as a top fat burner, LipoFuze works best when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Although LipoFuze can help you lose weight quickly, the best way to keep it off permanently is through proper diet and exercise. Note: Some users lose weight without changing their diets or exercising, but exercise and healthy eating are recommended for optimal results.
Q: How Long does each bottle last?
A: Each bottle of LipoFuze is a month's supply.
Q: Does LipoFuze Offer A Money Back Guarantee?

There are no hoops to jump through and no BS re-stocking fees. Simply contact our amazing customer support to get started on your refund.
Q: Does LipoFuze Work for Everyone?
A: No. About 1% of users generally do not feel completely satisfied with their results.

War of Angels
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
War of Angels Overview
War of Angels is a 3D Fantasy MMORPG that mixes elements from both Eastern and Western games, both in visual style and gameplay. Perhaps the game's most innovative feature is it's town building system – where players who conquer towns can build and better manage them. Like most other MMORPGs, players have access to both a large variety of pets and mounts as well as a large arsenal of skills and spells. Unlike most MMORPGs that limit gameplay to land only, players in War of Angels are free to explore and fight enemies on land, underwater, and even in the sky. The European version of War of Angels is hosted on Gamigo while the North American and global version is hosted by Neowiz (The one we link to).

War of Angels Review
War of Angels Review
In the world of MMORPGs, it's hard to find a game that truly stands out from the crowd. Cookie-cutter games are everywhere, to a point where it's not a stretch to say X game is "just like" Y. When a game does try to break from the pack with something unique, it's worth paying a lot of attention to. War of Angels, published by NeoWiz in North America (and by Gamigo in Europe), is one of those games that tries to be different – but does it work?
The Four Cornerstones
Character creation in War of Angels by selecting one of four base classes – Fighter, Ranger, Rogue, and Mage – along with the character's gender. These four classes each have the opportunity to split into one of two advanced classes, specializing in a certain type of combat. Fighters may become Warriors (DPS) or Knights (Tanks); Rangers become Hunters (Rifles and AoE DPS) or Archers (Bow, traps and stealth); Rogues become Scouts (PvP focused) or Avengers (PvE focused); and Mages may become Clerics (healers) or Sorcerers (magic DPS). This class shift happens at level 20, giving players ample time to decide what experience they would prefer from their starter class.
Character creation is otherwise moderately limited. There are three options each for face, skin, hair color, and hair style, and five options in choosing the color of your starting gear. More options are only available in the Item Shop, so expect to see everyone look relatively similar outside of gear. For new players, at least, cutting your teeth in War of Angels is easy. Small question mark pop-ups will appear as players encounter new things in the game, connecting them to a fairly useful in-game encyclopedia.
Good versus Evil
Like many MMOs, questing is a matter of finding NPCs who have tasks (marked with question marks) and doing as they ask, often killing enemies either to eliminate them or find items. Speaking with NPCs enters a separate dialogue screen with multiple options, similar in ways to AIKA Online. This not only opens an opportunity to get a feel for NPC personalities and storyline, but a chance for the player to choose how to respond to NPC requests, part of the disposition system. Yes, players can ultimately choose to be good or evil in the War of Angels, in a faction system that will eventually support PvP between good versus evil, as well as guilds.
Combat and questing is a core component of the game, and remains simple and to the point. Each class is granted unique skills, along with a death blow attack. Players can engage with enemies and use their skills to bring them down. As players kill more enemies, they can charge their deathblow meter, which can be used to unleash a devastating and unique attack against an enemy.
At first, players will be tasked with killing all sorts of Leshes – long-haired troll creatures with large noses that look like they came out of a children's book. Eventually, players will move on to other creatures, strange, funny, and even flying. Yes, there is a flight system in game. Players can use wings and other items to fly briefly to fight flying enemies, in a similar (but less complicated) system to Aion. Also, there are also dungeons with multiple difficulty settings for players to conquer for gear.
You Look Enchanting
While players can't craft their own items, there are two systems which let them upgrade the equipment they do find. The imprint system lets players add stats to their equipment by finding imprints off enemies and attaching them to the equipment. The enchanting system, on the other hand, lets players upgrade weapons (attack damage) or armor (defense value), while adding a glow effect. Both of these systems can fail without cash shop items, but do allow players to add power to their equipment.
The Grind Is Back
With a flying combat system, a faction system that supports the choice of the character affecting how they interact in the world, and an eight-class balanced combat system designed to balance both PvP and PvE, War of Angels looks great on paper. Unfortunately, the game is also stuck in the same rut that many free-to-play MMOs have been for years – the grind. It takes a lot of experience to get from level to level, something that becomes evident in the mid-levels, and the content eventually doesn't support the experience that needs to be gained. Likewise, the item shop supports the idea of purchasing equipment upgrades, potions, and buffs that can help the player out of the rut. While the grind in War of Angels is "softer" than other games, quests will run out and leave hours worth of work to go from level to level.
Final Verdict: Good
Evidence supports that NeoWiz is listening at least a little to its players; at the end of 2010, they removed a heavy experience penalty on death that had many players quitting and promised that PvP would be coming soon. The game is certainly better than many others, offering a few unique systems and the promise of a dynamic PvP environment. As it stands now, however, War of Angels remains a fairly typical MMORPG (with a few elements from Aion and AIKA) that is otherwise unremarkable and unfinished.

The 2015 Monster Jam Series is bringing destruction to a city near you as the season continues. At any moment, everything could change, so see all the pulse-pounding action and get your 2015 Monster Jam tickets today from Ticket Liquidator.
Monster truck races are always fun, as reflected by the wacky names of the giant vehicles. With names like Grave Digger, Maximum Destruction, Blue Thunder, Monster Mutt and Bounty Hunter, the brightly painted trucks present an almost childlike attraction, but they appeal to men, boys, women and girls alike. Speaking of Bounty Hunter, in another demonstration of the growing popularity of Monster Truck tickets, online encyclopedia Juggle.com recently sponsored that truck along with its partner truck Scarlet Bandit (the two are driven by husband and wife team Jimmy and Dawn Creten). Monster truck racing is for everyone these days, because it is so exciting. These are changin' times at the Monster Jam speedway!
A Monster Truck show is fast becoming the biggest auto entertainment draw in the country! Excellent value Monster Jam tickets and an awesome Monster Jam schedule have contributed to this upsurge in Monster Jam Trucks' popularity, and it's not hard to see why. Monster Jam is the largest touring monster truck project on the planet, smashing records just like the trucks themselves. Cheap tickets> to Monster Truck shows have caused a huge stir both this year and last. Crowds eager to see a Monster Truck rally have mobbed venues in San Diego, Houston, Tacoma, Tampa, Toronto, and Minneapolis, in scenes that had the Monster Jam organizers utterly amazed. Monster Truck tickets and AMA Supercross tickets are both doing phenomenally well in 2015 as both provide cheap fun and a great day out. People the breadth of the USA are hunting down all the Monster Jam Trucks tickets they can find, so if you want to be there to witness the power and magic of these machines, buy Monster Truck tickets now and take that ride!
Monster Jam tickets and Monster Truck racing have spawned a whole industry, including Monster Jam video and Hot Wheels Monster Jam diecast. In fact, if you buy Monster Jam tickets we guarantee you'll be addicted to Monster Jam Trucks just like millions of others across the USA.
The Monster truckers are a down to earth lot, too, and the connection they have developed with their fans is prized for its honesty and genuineness. And the Monster Trucks have as much personality as their owners! Take King Krunch, for instance; with its 66-inch Terra Tires (that's almost as high as an average person, folks) and 1750 horsepower, this solid built 2003 Chevy hits the ground running and steams around the course like a vehicle possessed! Destroyer is a 400 Turbopower beast, with an array of painted flames down its side, and its 1500 horsepower and 66-inch wheels help it to perform backward jumps, much to the amazement of lucky people with Monster Jam Trucks tickets.

Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children and can occur at any age. If you've just learned your child may have a brain tumor, we know you want the best care possible. Nemours' pediatric oncology experts will do whatever it takes to offer supportive, compassionate, high-quality care for brain tumors in children, from diagnosis through treatment — and beyond.
Not all brain tumors in children are cancerous. By definition, brain tumors are masses of abnormal cells, however, even those that are not cancerous (referred to as benign) can still be dangerous depending on where in the brain and how large they are. Your child's doctor can discuss the possibility of surgical removal.

At Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children, our pediatric specialists care for benign (not cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) brain tumors in children.
Whatever kind of brain tumor your child might have, know that at Nemours we do whatever it takes to give your child the very best, most compassionate care possible. We'll be there to help your child and your family every step of the way.
Diagnosing Brain Tumors in Children
If your child has a possible brain tumor, Nemours' pediatric oncologists will perform a complete physical examination and medical history, and may order several other diagnostic tests and procedures including:
- neurological examination (to check your child's reflexes, mouth and eye movement, muscle strength, and coordination)
- X-ray
- myelogram (an X-ray of the spine)
- MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)
- bone scan (a test to visually see into the bones themselves)
- CT scan (computed tomography)
- PET scan (positron emission tomography)
- biopsy (taking a sample of cells or tissues for examination)
- lower-back area of the spinal cord)
Watch videos from Nemours' KidsHealth.org about many of these common tests.
Treating Brain Tumors in Children
Depending on age, overall health, extent of the disease, and other factors, treatment of brain tumors in children may include one or a combination of:
- chemotherapy — medicine that kills cancer cells
- radiation therapy — using radiation to kill cancer cells
- blood or bone marrow transplant (also sometimes called a BMT, BBMT, stem cell transplant, or cord blood transplant)
- medications such as antibiotics or steroids (corticosteroids, made from a naturally occurring steroid, are used to kill cancer cells, shrink tumors and decrease swelling — not the performance-enhancing anabolic steroids that make news in the sports world)
- blood transfusions
- neurosurgery — such as a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt (a small device surgically placed in the head to drain excess fluid from inside the brain)
If we find that a brain tumor is malignant (cancerous), Nemours' oncologists will guide the care team in helping treat the tumor. If a brain tumor is benign (non-cancerous), a neurosurgeon will take the lead to figure out the best
treatment options.

Last season we had plenty of vets, guys who knew the game. This season we have guys that don't belong on the court.

I think they'll cool off. I can't remember the last time they missed. PS the announcers are clueless.
This team is playing like they don't even have a coach. Lack of direction is so evident. Something Monty is doing that is draining confidence.
It's Monty's fault that we are not running on break. He's a bad coach for that roster.
I guarantee we come back and make a game of this but lose in the final 2 min..mark my words
Gordon is really rusty
Doesn't matter if we are a young team, rebuilding or talent, we should not be getting our asses handed to us by a team that has lost 13 in a row. Does anyone think they are more talented than us.
We can come back. It must start with defense though. And we need Gordon to play like, 18 minutes in the second half.
Gordon's jumper is looking rusty. Gotta get those legs back.
Cleveland down big in Brooklyn.
Charlotte up big over our Baby Bees.
Toronto rOlling in O-town
Washington tips momentarily.
I love the way MKG plays.
Gordon makes a huge difference for us even when he's not shooting well. The penetration he gets is so relieving to see.
I called it before the season started that we were gonna struggle this season as we lost > 1000 games worth of experience with all the trades etc.
Does anyone remember the last time we scored over 100 points?

The "Less Than U Think" campaign was developed by a team of Communications students at The University of Alabama and implemented under the leadership of their Capstone Agency, a student-run public relations firm on campus.
Based on a strategy geared towards empowering student drinkers to change their behavior, the team developed a series of tactics to reach them on campus, at home and at the point of consumption. "Less Than U Think" was implemented during the fall semester 2010. For a complete overview of the campaign and its evaluation please refer to the "Less Than U Think" Final Report.
In the next few weeks, The University of Alabama will be submitting their proposal with next steps for "Less Than U Think".

Soul of the Ultimate Nation
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Soul of the Ultimate Nation Overview
Soul of the Ultimate Nation, commonly abbreviated as S.U.N., is a 3D fantasy MMORPG by the Korean developer and publisher Webzen. The game originally released in South Korea back in 2006, but launched globally in English through Webzen on October 21, 2009. The game was also available on the ijji portal for about a year or so, but they eventually closed their service down, but the global Webzen version still remains. Although the game's fantasy environments are nothing original, the game offers plenty of quests and fast paced hack n slash combat. The game's four playable classes are:
Berserker [Male] - A melee-oriented class who uses both swords and axes. He is capable of dealing huge amounts of damage when in 'berserk' mode, but also exposes himself to additional danger. Berserkers are very capable of absorbing damage and acting as an effective 'tank'.
Dragon Knight [Male] - A melee-oriented class who uses both swords and spears. They are similar to berserkers, but with much higher attack speed and less damage. Dragon Knights are very capable of absorbing damage and acting as an effective 'tank'.
Valkyrie [Female] - A ranged class similar to 'archers' in other games. They can use either two small crossbows/guns at once, or one larger one. Although Valkyries are primarily designed for ranged damage, they can hold their own in melee combat with the use of a sword.
Elementalist [Female] - Elementalists are the primary offensive spell casting class in SUN. They are capable of dealing devastating amounts of damage from both short and long distance with their magic. However, they have the least amount of hit points in the game, which makes them extremely vulnerable in melee combat.
Shadow [Male] - The shadow class uses whip-swords and daggers as well as dark spells and abilities to vanquish their enemies. They can also bring dead monsters back to life, sort of like a necromancer. They can be played as either an assassin like character or as a debuff oriented magic user.

Soul of the Ultimate Nation Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
Although originally released across Asia in 2006, SUN Online, through the consistent delivery of updates and gameplay enhancements, has grown to become one of the most anticipated MMO releases in the US this year (2009). From the time I've spent playing in the beta, I'm quickly beginning to see why.
Initially, my reaction to SUN was admittedly lackluster. The four available classes—the ranged, dual crossbow-wielding Valkyrie; the dark spellcasting Elementalist; the giant damage-soaking Berserker; and graceful spear-wielding Dragon Knight—felt more like template characters with a fresh coat of paint more than the innovative character selection I had been looking forward to. The limited customization options (offering only four generic hair and face selections), the inability to change your characters' sex, and no selection of a faction led me to believe that SUN was just another generic fantasy MMO, and while the lack of character choice is indeed inexcusable, the remaining elements of SUN helped me believe otherwise.
Thanks to the active storyline present in SUN, each of the character choices offer their own individual story arc, complete with unlockable back-story to be discovered through questing and adventure. I noticed this story development right from the beginning of the game, when upon returning to my staring village, I discovered it to be populated no longer with friendly NPCs, but instead, an army of Beastmen hell-bent on my destruction. Again, the story continued into my first instanced dungeon, beginning with a cut-scene detailing my reason for entering the area, and ending with a boss-battle with the three-headed demon canine Cerberus himself – an instance made considerably more enjoyable by the innovative combat styles and incredibly high-quality graphics and sound.
Innovation All the Way
The visuals in SUN are indeed impressive. Everything from the character models and armour design to the Korean-themed environments and oversized enemies add considerable immersion, and the soundtrack composed by the legendary Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings Soundtrack) himself only adds to the overall effect. However, it wasn't the stunning visuals, immersive storyline or amazing soundtrack that finally drew me into SUN, but more the incredible innovation displayed in the combat, skill and character advancement, and most important of all, player-created instances and combat scenarios.
The combat system delivers its own brand of innovation initially through the ability to select from one of two weapons for each class, then, a stance that drastically alters the fighting style of your character. For example, when equipped with a spear the Dragon Knight begins with a stance focusing damage on one particular enemy, and a stance focused on multi-mob fighting offering the ability to fight up to six different enemies at the same time. Then, by customizing your character as you advance in level by allocating skill points to various different specialties, players can effectively allow for the purchase of skills tailored specifically to their individual needs.
The combat and advancement system, combined with large, beautiful worlds, scripted instances and amazing visuals, make SUN a game more than worthy of your time; however, it's in the ability to create and customize your own questing and PvP instances that SUN truly shines. Battlezones, as they're called, offer the ability to customize everything from the map selection to the types of enemies and their level, allowing you to take your tailored character into your tailored environment, and play the game entirely to your own personal tastes.
Minor Setbacks
Regrettably, SUN is still far from becoming the perfect MMO in countries outside of Asia. While conceptually amazing, it's often the little things that count the most, and this is true in this case too. The user interface (UI) is clunky and poorly constructed, often ignoring commands entirely. The controls feel backwards, with left-click assuming the role of camera control as opposed to action selection, and the ability to strafe using the mouse in combination with the [A] and [D] keys has been removed entirely, resulting in a truck-like feel when turning your character.
Additionally (though at this point, seemingly unsuccessfully) an open-world PvP system reminiscent of that found in Lineage 2—that is, by holding the [Ctrl] key players can attack one another at will—has been implemented recently, and looks as though it might shake up the foundations and offer those craving a more hardcore experience something to look forward to; although at present, every attempt at attacking another player (from my experience) has been fruitless, with my attacks simply missing my intended target every time.
Of course, there's always room for improvement, and it's still very early in its transition from the Asian market to the US and European. Here's hoping that with time, and a little effort, the creases can be ironed out, and the path made clear for a game that has the potential of truly changing the way the world looks at F2P MMOs for a long time to come.
Final Verdict: Great
While the limited character customization options, unpolished and often unresponsive UI, and difficult learning curve will no doubt prevent SUN from competing with the pay-to-play (P2P) MMO industry; the innovative player-created instances, combat mechanics, and overall magnificent sound and visuals almost guarantee its success in the F2P realm, offering more even now in its open beta phase than many games 1 or 2 years into their release. A must-play for fantasy enthusiasts and MMO veterans alike.

Lawyer who represented Catholic church takes role in hepatitis C cases
Sunday, December 9, 2012
DOVER — A Boston attorney who has defended a range of high-profile clients in the last decade, including the Archdiocese of Boston, has taken a prominent role in Exeter Hospital's legal defense team.
Exeter Health Resources has engaged at least three law firms to respond to the hepatitis C outbreak. Through a spokesman, the hospital declined to answer questions on Friday about the composition of its legal team, or the role Dailey is playing.
Before that, he helped cardiologist Dr. Gilbert Mudge successfully defend against a lawsuit from the wife of late Boston Celtics team member Reggie Lewis.
After two trials, a jury determined that Dailey's clients were not negligent.
Attorney Mitchell Garabedian has represented numerous clergy sex abuse victims in cases where Dailey represented the church. He is also attempting to bring 23 new suits in federal court in Connecticut in connection with alleged abuse at a church camp.
"I think he's got a certain panache — he's got a certain style that works," McGrath said.
Among the defendants who could potentially be named in the lawsuits are two medical staffing companies that facilitated Kwiatkowski's hiring: Triage Staffing, which places medical workers at temporary assignments; and American Healthcare Services Association, a national organization that arranges employment on behalf of hospitals.
Another group facing legal action is the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT). ARRT is the group that provided a radiology certificate for Kwiatkowski when he was hired at Exeter Hospital.
The stay of discovery has stopped lawyers from forcing Exeter Hospital employees, such as Chief Executive Officer Kevin Callahan, to give sworn statements about the hepatitis C outbreak until January.
Nevertheless, many of the lawsuits could be settled before such a deposition is allowed to go forward. Like others engaged in litigation against the hospital, Rainboth said his clients are considering the possibility of agreeing to a settlement.
"We met for approximately one hour, and I was impressed with his genuineness and his concern for the patients, and for his client..." Rainboth said. "He told me of the hospital's desire to try to resolve these cases early if they could be resolved. I thought he was very cordial and respectful."

Come help us change the way business works—in the cloud!
Headquartered in San Francisco's beautiful South Beach/SOMA neighborhood, GoGrid is a fast-growing company dedicated to excellence in cloud computing and infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Our Culture
GoGrid is located in the historic Hills Brothers Plaza right on the Embarcadero near the Bay Bridge, where we share space with Google and Mozilla as well as The Wharton School. With this sort of company, we believe the sky's the limit. Come join our team and be part of developing and growing the Internet infrastructure of thousands of clients worldwide—including some of the hottest Web 2.0 companies on the planet.
GoGrid combines the dynamic environment of a startup with the stability of an Internet infrastructure pioneer. Of course we provide all the standard "bennies"—medical, dental, vision, company paid basic life insurance, and 401(k) matching contributions—for starters. But we also offer other perks: subsidized memberships at the Crunch Fitness gym located in our building, Friday lunches, onsite massage therapy, and fun company events like our recent "Mad Men Social." We're close to MUNI streetcar and bus lines for easy access. BART, the Ferry Building, and the Transbay Terminal are each just a few blocks away. If you want to soak up the real Bay Area, there's no better place to work. And we plan to stay in the neighborhood: One of our data centers is across the street, in the same building that houses San Francisco's emergency services.
Our Employees
When even mainstream media like The Wall Street Journal features articles about cloud computing, you know the market is red-hot. And the Bay Area is at the center of the action in terms of both innovation and investment. If you want to work with the best-of-the-best, we've got room for you at GoGrid. Our team is strong because of the experience and talents of the people who make up the company. And we never take them for granted. We recognize outstanding contributions with monthly customer service awards and celebrate bigger wins at quarterly all-hands meetings. And with our new career paths, you can grow right along with GoGrid.
Our Community
Because we believe no one lives—or works—in a vacuum, we encourage our employees to give back to the community. Doing so is a core value at GoGrid, and our activities are year-round. Here are just a few examples:
- To make sure no child goes to school unprepared or is overlooked, we participate in Back-to-School and holiday toy drives organized by The Family Giving Tree.
- We put together a GoGrid team to help fight cancer by raising money for every mile walked or run during the Nike Marathon in San Francisco.
Current Openings
We're developing some of the most innovative technologies in the cloud—and we've had a lot of practice. GoGrid owns its intellectual property along with a number of technology patents, with more on the way. That type of environment doesn't come along every day, so we hope you'll join us on the cutting edge of cloud computing.
Featured Role:
Senior Software Engineer
Research, design, develop, and support cloud platform services at GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure provider. Design and implement business logic systems, ensuring maximum uptime and reliability. Experience building software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based applications a must. Demonstrated expertise in a variety of concepts, practices, and procedures associated with software engineering required. The ideal candidate is able to think strategically as well as execute tactically to meet company objectives.

I don't remember where I read this, but wasn't the version number bumped because it's a separate branch from trunk rather than development on the 4.x branch?
FWIW, there seems to be general agreement that FF5 is better than FF4. So as long as they stick to higher version number == better softare we ought to be ok.
Also faster turnaround on major version numbers likely gives the impression that more is happening with the software than actually is, worked for Chrome ('hory shet, it's already at version 13!! this software must be so great!!').
Actually the effect is already weaning off, all the Chrome and FF dick-waving is causing everyone to start ignoring major version announcements, even for software that does not follow that model.

|Classification of Ding's Schubert Varieties: Finer Rook Equivalence
K.~Ding studied a class of Schubert varieties $X_\lambda$ in type A partial flag manifolds, indexed by integer partitions $\lambda$ and in bijection with dominant permutations. He observed that the Schubert cell structure of $X_\lambda$ is indexed by maximal rook placements on the Ferrers board $B_\lambda$, and that the integral cohomology groups $H^*(X_\lambda;\:\Zz)$, $H^*(X_\mu;\:\Zz)$ are additively isomorphic exactly when the Ferrers boards $B_\lambda, B_\mu$ satisfy the combinatorial condition of \emph{rook-equivalence}. We classify the varieties $X_\lambda$ up to isomorphism, distinguishing them by their graded cohomology rings with integer coefficients. The crux of our approach is studying the nilpotence orders of linear forms in the cohomology ring.

ESPN reported Tuesday that the Dallas Cowboys plan to sign the Hitchcock, Texas, native to their practice squad as long as he passes a physical.
Sam, a seventh-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft out of Missouri who thrust himself into the spotlight after becoming the first NFL player to openly say he's gay, is free to sign with any team after clearing waivers Sunday.
Sam was not included on the Rams' 10-player practice squad roster that was finalized Monday after final cuts to the 53-man roster limit last weekend.
"It was a football decision and it was no different than any other decision that we make," Fisher said. "It was a football decision back in May to draft Mike. And once again, it's been all about football. I will tell you this: I was pulling for Mike. I really was. I don't say that very often, but Mike came in here and did everything that we asked him to do."
