Your Logo Is Making Me Sick
Years ago, my mother got a nasty case of food poisoning from an order of chicken tikka at a restaurant. For years after that, if I'd sneak up behind her and say, "Chicken tikka!" she'd crumple into a bout of dry heaves.
Translating that into biz-speak, any brand affinity she had for chicken tikka was obliterated by a critical failure event in the meal's service delivery. Her reaction to the two words "chicken tikka" altered radically from, "Delicious in my mouth!" to, well… something opposite.
That incident has been on my mind a lot ever since I purchased a Vizio television. One of the strange signs of the times is that televisions, being increasingly computerized with apps and image correction features, occasionally crash and have to reboot. This might be evidence that we're reaching the limits of the convergence trend and need to go back to letting televisions just be televisions, but for now it's something consumers just have to accept.
Whenever my TV crashes and reboots (which is frequently), the Vizio logo flashes orange and white:
The decision to use the logo as an error indicator probably made sense on some engineering level. But from a brand and user experience perspective, making the company's logo the most salient visual aspect of a critical failure event can't have been a wise choice. While my TV silently but brightly proclaims, "VIZIO! VIZIO! VIZIO! VIZIO!" I'm mumbling curse words and heading to the kitchen for a few minutes to make a drink to occupy myself for the duration of the boot cycle.
I don't remember what associations I might have had with Vizio as a brand before I bought this thing, and I'm not sure what Vizio's marketers want me to think. Probably it's something like, "Low cost, great features," or some tagline like, "Taking entertainment freedom by storm!" Certainly they don't want me thinking, "G*ddamned f@%#ing piece of s%#&."
And yet, every time, "VIZIO! VIZIO! VIZIO! VIZIO!"
So now the word "Vizio" is my "chicken tikka."
Avoiding Brand Contamination
This clearly suggests that negative experiences and error indicators probably shouldn't be branded. This argues in favor of using fail pets like Twitter's Fail Whale:
The page is still branded, but the most salient visual element is a charming, non-brand illustration that can bring a small amount of pleasure to an otherwise irritating experience.
No article about UX and branding can be complete without some mention of Apple, but in this case—gasp!—their example shouldn't be slavishly copied. Behold, the Grey Screen of Death:
In fairness, this screen isn't a result of a failure (that would be the Spinning Beach Ball of Death), it's what you see while a Mac is installing updates. But unlike Windows users, Mac users aren't accustomed to always having to wait for their computers to grind through long reboot cycles, so the experience still tastes like burning. Why does the Apple logo need to be the most salient visual on this screen?
Somewhere along the spectrum between "VIZIO!" and a fail pet is the Xbox Red Ring of Death that indicates a hardware failure:
Although the ring of lights is the signature characteristic of the Xbox's physical appearance, at least it's not a logo screaming "MICROSOFT!" And it has an ominous, HAL-9000-esque look of a machine saying, "Doom, doom, doom…" which kind of makes sense in the context of console gaming.
In Conclusion
Every product will at some point encounter a critical error and/or force the user to wait. Don't let those moments become synonymous with your brand.
UX designers should:
- proactively identify potential error conditions and failure use cases.
- collaborate with their engineering colleagues to ensure they're on the lookout, too.
- design the UI elements of an error condition or failure to, at the very least, distance it from the brand, if not to also lessen the pain it causes.
- ensure their chicken dinners have been fully cooked.
Add new comment
@John Re: "The Gray Screen of Tortuous Delay" what would you call the branded start-up screen for Windows?
With all due respect, this sounds like bunch of anecdotal nonsense. Rather than scold companies for poorly appropriating their visual identity why not go to the root cause with advice like "Don't build shitty products"?
Users aren't stupid. They know when something is poorly planned, served, or constructed and are far more forgiving than you give them credit for. Building a negative reaction to a logo is akin to saying that subliminal messaging in retail muzak is effective. It's not.
I don't need a reboot with a flashing logo to know that VIZIO is a bargain brand that does not live up to the quality standards of premium brands like SONY.
When a company releases a product or a service that is prone to frequent failures, strategic placement of your logo is the least of your concerns. Spend that time minimizing the failures.
Some great points, and an aspect of errors I hadn't even considered. I don't think I'd make it on to the offenders list, but it's certainly something I'll keep in mind for the future!
Incidentally that isn't the OSX error screen, it's the boot screen (comparable to the Windows boot screen, which also has the logo). The kernel panic screen (which is what I assume you're referring to) doesn't contain any brand elements.
Related subject (I hope) when it comes to logos. How is it possible for a car manufacturer to have such bad quality of the logo badge of a car that so it don't even last the cars lifetime? Makes me think as a consumer "if they care so little about their brand - how little do they car about the actual car".
What do you guys think is the best way to convey an error; in a totally different look than the rest of the system (Windows blue screen of death) or a similar look (like the Twitter example above)?
I'm thinking that the blue screen of death makes you feel like the error isn´t part of the system, but the twitter error is. One point could be that it makes you feel like the system is less error-prone, since you don't associate the error with the rest of the system perhaps. On the other hand it could make the error seem less serious since the twitter example conveys the feeling that it's under control.
All in all I think the twitter was is much better, but I think it's an interesting question
Incidentally, the boot screen pictured is not what most Mac users would refer to as "the gray screen of death". That would be the gray, multilingual kernel panic screen that forces you to do a hard reboot.
When it comes to Apple - I would personally consider the kernel panic screen to be a more accurate comparison. However, no Apple logo is shown when this (thankfully) rare event occurs.
I agree with Anh. Great points Jonathan and interesting thoughts. Another important commonly overlooked area of UX...your brand!

Truffle Gatherer's Sauce 90g
The birth of this truffle sauce is one of necessity, a necessity to hide the gatherer's shame from an unsuccessful hunt (read more)...
The story: The birth of this truffle sauce is one of necessity, a necessity to hide the gatherer's shame from an unsuccessful hunt.
When the gatherer's came home with just a few truffles, apart from having to endure a scolding from their wives, needed to hide their shame from their companions.
They did this by saying they hadn't gone hunting truffles. But something had to be done with the few truffles they did find.
On Sunday people would invite their relatives over for dinner, and to make it seem as though there were plenty of truffles, they would cook them up with olives, capers, and anchovies.
Following this tradition Savini Tartufi has created this Gatherer's sauce with champignon mushrooms, olive oil, black olives, black truffle, capers, and salt.
The resulting sauce can be used on croutons, pasta, and chicken.
Imported from Italy.

Ahh no the those things aren't on the print ready, I'm not sure why its on this picture. And as for the rejection, I didn't send in a print ready file last time, they must of based it on the t-shirt image alone. They had no way of checking if it was complicated or not.

Time to let it go. Most of the original actors have said they wouldn't come back, not many interest in those new characters.
Warner Brothers has already announced that there will be a Harry Potter prequel in the works. That project is based on JK Rowling's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". That book/ film will feature the adventures of Newt Scamander (read the news here). Now it seems that Warner Brothers is trademarking other Potter references and books as well. Does this mean another film?
The book within the book, in question, is "Tales Of Beedle The Bard". Plus there is also the mini-book "Quidditch Through The Ages." The second book is "written by" Kennilworthy Whisp. Would he become the lead character then? It look as if they have trademarked the Quidditch teams: Wimbourne Wasps, Chudley Cannons, Kenmare Kestrels.
I can't say that Warner Brothers is beating a dead horse, because in no way was Harry Potter at the end of its life. Do you want more Potter Universe stories? Sound off below!

Time to let it go. Most of the original actors have said they wouldn't come back, not many interest in those new characters.
For me Harry was the least interesting aspect of this world that Rowling created, so I actually think this mythology still has some legs...
Eh, I don't have much enthusiam for either of these projects or others that may possibly come along. But then again, I may not be enough of a fan of the Harry Potter movies to be part of the target audience, I suppose. I don't mind people expounding upon an established world (I'm really really rather pleased with the expanded Hobbit movies), but I thought the only HP movies that really got it right were the first 2 and the last 2...still, 50/50 isn't bad for any franchise, I guess. Okay, I'm rambling...I'll check these out on DVD.
I don't really care either way if this gets made or not. Beadle the Bard is the most intriguing to me. I'd probably give any of them a shot, though.
On a semi, unrelated note, I think it would be cool if in about 15 years or so the HP gang got back together to shoot the epilogue scene for a special edition bonus or something like that.
They need to pick up on the Harry Potter story when he's in his 40's and a hardboiled private detective. In fact the story should look something like this:
"Harry Potter is a working-class magician, occult detective, and disgraced former auror stationed in London. He is known for his endless cynicism, deadpan snarking, ruthless cunning, and constant chain smoking. A roguish counterculture antihero, Potter is also a passionate humanist driven by a heartfelt desire to do some good in his life."
DarkXid - I would be down for that, but ONLY if they make a lackluster movie about it which makes him American and played by Keanu Reeves.
When its mining the Star Wars universe Trate is cool with it, when its the Potter universe then WB might be beating a dead horse. Alrighty then.
say it not so plese let it go it was just a ok movie and did well but your beating a dead rock now. move on to something total new.

Rating: 3.21 out of 14 votes cast
Elegant Shirt...
I wore this @ a dinner party for knitters in Nashville this weekend. The white showed through my knitted shawl and made the knitting pop. It fit perfectly and I was very happy with the feeling of the fabric. I was extremely comfortable and had many compliments.
Owens Cross Roads, Alabama
Love the petite sizing
Very nice tunic. I love tunics but they are usually too long for me. Love this petite.
Delray Beach, Fl.
love this
I ordered a tall and I love it! Perfect with leggings. I wish they had more colors. Love the gingham, ordered white as well. Since leggings are mostly black, some colors would be great!
Beaverton, OR
Shirt was WAY TOO BIG. No shaping (darts) in the body at all. Color and fabric were fine. Sorry..this one goes back immediately!
San Antonio, TX
great shirt
Based on reviews, I ordered size larger in bl/wt check. So glad I did, as it shrank a full size, esp arm length. I didn't have issue with ironing---just touch ups. I LOVE the Bl/Wt one. I didn't get the white, as it was no longer available in a 3x. I want the white one, so I hope they restock.
Montclair, NJ
Nice Shirt
I really love this shirt I worn it with a scarf and received rave reviews.
Carol R
Chicago IL
Big Shrinkage!
This shirt had a very boxy fit, and being a curvy size medium it didn't look too great by itself. But I needed something cute to wear under my monogrammed sweatshirt and this has a nice collar and I like seeing a shirt tail when I wear the sweatshirt, so this blouse worked fine. HOWEVER when I washed it the first time it shrunk so that I couldn't even put it back on and button it up!!! Very disappointed in this shirt.
Lugoff, SC
Very nice
I ordered a size larger and I agree with the viewers, it fits better through the chest when order larger size but a little too long with the bigger size but fits better through the chest. It will shrink (97% cotton) but beautiful with the sweater. I order both pink and green in a size larger and both sweaters (regular size) and they look great on me.
Peoria, IL
Poor fabric
The shirt needed intensive ironing with steam or spray. I am not opposed to ironing, but the real problem is that it wrinkles easily and deeply when it is worn. I felt sloppy.
Warren, PA
Fit Issues
Pros: The fabric is great quality - a thick cotton weave and a crisp, bright white. I haven't had any problems with extra wrinkles like some others reviewers have had, but I dry clean this piece. Cons: Just wayyy too small - across the bust, in the waist, and across the hips. Also, two of the buttons have cracked. I can't see ordering this in a larger size because of problems with sleeve length that would create.
Lisa T.
Carrtollton, TX
disappointed-wish I'd read earlier reviews
Yes, runs small, wrinkles horribly AND, buttons fell off two that I ordered just removing from the package. Poor quality, too much time to invest in this top.
Denver, CO
Worth It!
I agree with reviewer Roxanne - you have to order a size up and be prepared to iron...but it's worth it! The length and fit of this shirt is really flattering. I love that it's long enough to wear with leggings and it's shaped enough to layer under a cardigan without feeling bulky.
Bren B
Boston, MA
Runs Small
Purchased this item for a trip up North. I bought a large to provide extra room in case I wanted to wear a long sleeve tee underneath. When I tried it on before washing it was too small. Can't imagine what size it would be if I did wash it. Was very disappointed because I wear and buy mediums all the time without a problem. Will not keep this.
Fort Myers, FL
Cute but high maintenance
I bought this shirt one size larger in white so I could belt it with a wide red leaher belt. It looks great. Good thing I did because it shrank a little. Be prepared to spend quite a bit of time with an iron and spray starch as it wrinkles horribly. Is it worth the effort? Yes!

Easiest Window Update Ever
Remember this post about alternatives sources of fabric? How about the post I wrote about lightening up your window treatments for spring? Well, I took my own advice and found an alternative source of fabric for some new window treatments for my dining room. Are you ready for this? They are two 60 X 84 tablecloths from Dwell Studio for Target, just $19.99 each. No hemming necessary.
Close-up of the fabric
If cost were not a factor, I would love to have purchased the Kendiri Curtain from Anthropologie, but at $228/panel they were a little too pricey for my budget. The "panels" that I chose were less than $50 including shipping but still have the same feel as the more expensive option from Anthropologie.
The Greek key ribbon embellished panels that were formerly hung in the dining room were 84 inches in length as well, allowing me to hang the new "panels" without having to adjust the rod.
A little fluffing is in order, but I think they add a fun touch to the room for the spring/summer months.
Tablecloths may seem like an unconventional choice for a window treatment, but in my estimation, they are the optimal solution. They are available in a huge array of colors, patterns, lengths and styles. Tablecloths are designed to be laundered frequently. Most importantly, they can be found at reasonable prices so if you tire of the pattern or color, you can switch them out guilt-free.

Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

Frankly, I really wonder why anyone still cares. Sure, VIA's solutions were incredibly interesting before the Intel Atom came out. But that was more than 1 1/2 years ago.
Now VIA's solutions are usually more expensive, much harder to get and feature non-existing software support. Also, when VIA announces a brand new product, it usually comes to market something like two years later, when it has ceased to be interesting.
As much as I appreciate you guys digging in this driver mess, perhaps one should just let their CPU business die in piece and ignore this company.

Good shave oil - 5/21/2014 5:20:27 PM I have shifted to using the shave oil exclusively. I get the closest shave with very little irritation. I really like the packaging because you can control how much comes out and more importantly direct where it goes vs. pouring it out of a bottle.This is it - 2/9/2013 5:59:47 AM For me, I hate to get an aftershave and the smell be overpowering or leave a greasy residue that messes up my work shirts. This does none of that, it has a light fragrance that goes on smooth and soaks in quickly. There's no burn, just a soothing effect. Since I haven't found a SPF lotion yet, I even use this on days I don't shave. It's a very versatile lotion.8 Men Can't All Be Wrong! - 1/14/2012 11:53:08 AM I purchased this gift/travel set as a stocking stuffer for all of the men in our families, and for my husband as well. The age range is 30 to 83 and every single one of them just love the products. My husband loves the shave cream & balm in particular. He has a tough beard to deal with and he is using this more than any other product now. Loves the close shave he gets and how soft his skin is. He really likes how soothing the balm is too. My father in law loves these products too. He's already asked me where to get more, and that's probably the best thing anyone could say about a new product they've tried! I love Try Me Size Kits for Men &/or for Women as gifts as well as for myself, because it gives the person a chance to try the best products in a line without shelling out top dollar for one product that is a complete mystery and might end up being a complete waste of money for them. This kit has really good-sized products in it that work for more than just one or two uses, and I liked that best of all! Great value!Milky goodness - 8/27/2011 6:39:59 PM One of the better aftershaves I've tried. Very soothing and scent is there, yet not overpowering. Very nice.Loved It - 8/26/2011 6:30:48 AM I thought this stuff was tremendous. Does away with excess foam and when mixed with water -- provides a great surface for my blade. Used in tandem with thier shave oil, one of better shaves of my life.Best shave oil hands down!!! - 7/26/2011 5:31:41 PM I have used several shave oil's through the years and this is by far the BEST! It is thicker than most shave oils and can even be used alone. This product gives me the closest shave ever - I use it along with Art of Shaving sensitive skin shaving cream. Try it you will not be disappointed!Good Stuff! - 6/13/2010 6:20:50 AM I wish the other guy had sent me his instead of throwing it away! This is great stuff - smells good, close shave and leaves my face feeling good. The price is the only negative so if that doesn't bother you and you like cream shaves - this is your stuff!The Best - 12/7/2009 8:58:50 AM Better than Dermalogica professional shave. This THE BEST shave oil.Did not care for it - 9/23/2009 10:41:50 PM Product felt chalky, thick and did not produce a close shave. I threw it away after the 3rd or 4th use.Good stuff - 6/4/2009 2:40:45 PM Simple to use and got the closest shave of my life. Might just use the oil itself from now on -- as it provides slip like no other product I've tried. Have seen this places shops in DC and figured I'd try the products. -
Learn More About Grooming Lounge
Women aren't the only ones concerned about their appearance. Men want to keep their hair and skin looking youthful and healthy too. Guys have special skin and hair care needs. Some men experience hair loss with age and have to deal with skin irritation and razor burn from shaving. Even their skin is different from a woman's. Men typically have thicker skin than a woman's and more active sebaceous glands, making them more susceptible to acne breakouts during adulthood.
Grooming Lounge products available at SkinStore are just one way this brand works to enhance your grooming experience--and your overall look. In 1999, the Grooming Lounge brand was launched by men with extensive experience in the men's grooming and fashion industry. The founders were their friends' go-to experts on all things grooming and decided to bring their expertise to men across the globe looking for realistic grooming solutions and effective grooming products. In March 2002, the first Grooming Lounge store opened in Washington DC, with other brick-and-mortar stores opening later. Men can do more than just purchase Grooming Lounge products at these stores--they can enjoy haircuts, hot lather shaves, business manicures, and more. If you're not in the DC area, however, you can enjoy equal pampering by choosing Grooming Lounge products available at SkinStore.
The Grooming Lounge line of products, which includes skin, shaving, and hair products, were formulated and tested in the barbershops that made the brand famous. Used on real customers, these products were tested and applied by barbers and men's skin care experts. The Grooming Lounge strives to offer only "the best of the best" products for men, so it focuses its product development on those solutions that are truly effective for its customers. Ultimately, the company relies on product approval from its co-founders and in-store grooming experts to ensure that every product in its line is worthy of being included. Learn more about these products today, and decide which Grooming Lounge products are best suited for your unique skincare needs.

Case | HBS Case Collection | July 2012 (Revised January 2015) MC Tool Richard S. Ruback and Royce Yudkoff Two partners acquired MC Tool in October 2007 for $5 million. The company was a machine shop that manufactured parts for a wide variety of applications in the energy, automotive and industrial equipment industries. In their first year of ownership, the partners focused on improving operations and enhancing sales with impressive results: sales doubled and EBTIDA increased by over 40%. But the "Great Recession" had an immediate impact in the fall of 2008 as customers cancelled orders and new sales became scarce. MC Tool's core business was cyclical and risky. The partners were considering transforming the business towards manufacturing more precise parts that would be less cyclical and less risky.

Faith and Stress (06/13/2014 @ 11:22:14)
Faith Can Improve Mental Health and Reduce Stress
by Fawne Hansen
Scientific studies have shown faith to have a positive impact on mood and mental health
The pharmaceutical industry makes millions from the marketing and sale of antidepressants and other mood enhancers. While these medications have their place, it is concerning that they are being prescribed at a higher rate than ever before.
There is one age-old method that can reduce stress levels. Its free, doesnt require a prescription, and has zero side effects or drug interactions. You will know it as faith, and millions of people around the world rely on it to see them through hard times. The results are not just anecdotal, there is evidence that it works. Faith and spirituality are abstract concepts, but they can lead to concrete results in mental health improvement and stress reduction.
Here are the sections in this article:

Nashville Strip Church (06/04/2014 @ 22:58:14)
MOUNT JULIET, Tenn. -- Erin Stevens isn't the kind of evangelist who stands outside the strip club with a bullhorn, yelling at the customers to repent or face the flames.
She's inside the lobby with the strippers, feeding them a catered dinner twice a month, giving them Mary Kay Cosmetics gift sets and quietly slipping her cellphone number into their hands.
She brings no Bibles. No tracts. No lectures.
Just love and an unusual mission given to her by God two years ago, she says, after she spent 21 days fasting and praying for a building for nondenominational Friendship Community Church in Mount Juliet. Friendship, launched by her husband, Todd Stevens, in 2006, has more than 1,000 members but still meets in an elementary school's rented auditorium.
"I prayed for a building. I got strippers," Erin Stevens said. Three so far, in fact, who left the business for some unexpected careers.
Actually, first she heard the words in her mind Strippers are not your enemy, they said, they're your mission field. So she sought counsel from the national Strip Church ministry group and started calling club managers. She has co-written a book about her experience, published by Nashville's Thomas Nelson and going on shelves mid-June. Its intriguing title is How to Pick Up a Stripper ... and Other Acts of Kindness.
Perhaps the most unexpected part of the story: The Association of Club Executives, a national trade group for strip club owners, is fine with Stevens' ministry.
The association is well aware of the Strip Church effort, in which individual congregations send their evangelists into the clubs discreetly that's part of the deal to help women get out of the business, Executive Director Angelina Spencer confirmed. Not every club owner wants to participate. But if the strippers don't want to be there, she said, they shouldn't be.
"We're about entertainment, not enslavement," Spencer said. "There is a contingent of dancers who really have it in their hearts to witness for the word."
It's not simple to see the ex-strippers in Stevens' converts.
Katherine Holland just collected her associate's degree in criminal justice and is looking for work as a police officer. She has a verse about faith, hope and love from 1 Corinthians tattooed around her forearm. Instead of dancing onstage Friday nights, she's leading a small group Bible study about practical ways to love your enemy. She's usually wearing a conservative blouse and skirt her stripper clothes literally burned during a burst of Christian passion.
Mary Harvel was in the business the longest. It's so easy to get in, she said. Show the wares and start dancing that night potentially taking home $500 or more. Soon, customers are giving free drinks, and swilling them helps numb dancers' feelings about how they earn money. Walking away from that cash was one of the toughest things Harvel has done, she said, but now she's running a day care.
The third, Lisa Ciamboli, is a patient care technician. Several others come to church but aren't ready to stop stripping.
They all illustrate one of the realities of running a Strip Church ministry, Stevens said. If a church is going to start one, it had better be ready with job and education opportunities, child care, housing, food and rent. Because part of the deal of asking women to leave adult entertainment is promising their bills will be paid. To that end, there's a website where supporters can donate money or gifts.
Not everyone is going to be a supporter. Stevens said she frequently gets these kinds of emails: "How can you go in there without the Word of God? That's our shield!"
But the fact Stevens doesn't bring it is the only thing that works, Harvel insists. "She made me feel like Jesus probably would have hung out with me. He wouldn't have thrown the door in my face. ... And nobody else has ever made me feel that way about church and about God."
Vets Target Child Predators (10/22/2013 @ 11:15:22)
10/18/2013 (11:03am)
Friday, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Rand Beers joined ICE Acting Director John Sandweg, US Special Operations Command Director of the Care Coalition, Kevin McDonnell, and National Association to Protect Children Executive Director, Grier Weeks, in a swearing in ceremony for 17 veterans as part of the inaugural class of Human Exploitation Rescue Operative Child Recue Corps, or the HERO Corps. Many of those sworn in were wounded in the line of duty.
The 17 HEROs are participating in a one-year pilot program that was announced last month to work with ICE HSI offices across the country where they will assist special agents with criminal investigations involving child pornography and online sexual exploitation. The HERO Corps program was developed jointly by ICE HSI, the Department of Defense and the National Association to Protect Children.
The HERO Corps pilot class includes veterans from all branches of service deploying to 11 states.
In fiscal year 2013 to date, more than 2,000 child predators have been arrested by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HIS) special agents on criminal charges related to the online sexual exploitation of children.
Since 2003, HSI has initiated more than 29,000 cases and arrested more than 10,000 individuals for sexual exploitation and related crimes.
DHS continues to focus on bringing perpetrators of online child exploitation to justice, with a priority on protecting children from these predators, said Beers. The goal of this initiative is to give our nations military veterans a chance to continue to serve at home for a righteous cause. Through this program, they are trained to fight on a new battlefield to protect the innocence of children at home and around the world.
ICE is on the front lines of the fight against online child exploitation and there are none better to join with us than veterans of the US military, Sandweg said. We are proud to work with these veterans to stand watch over the most vulnerable among us and to bring these perpetrators to justice.
After completion of the training, HERO Corps participants will be based at HSI offices in Atlanta, Baltimore, Dallas, Fairfax (Va.), Las Vegas, Memphis (Tenn.), Miami, New Haven (Conn.), New Orleans, Orlando (Fla.), Phoenix, Savannah (Ga.), Seattle (Wash.) and Tampa (Fla.) They will work under the direct supervision of HSI special agents, conducting computer forensic exams, assisting with criminal investigations and helping to identify and rescue child victims.
According to a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announcement, The HEROs have just completed seven weeks of training in computer forensic analysis and digital evidence collection at HSIs Cyber Crimes Center in Fairfax, Va., in order to help identify and rescue child victims of sexual abuse and online sexual exploitation.
Prior to that, DHS said they attended four weeks of intensive training at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Tennessee where they learned about child exploitation cases and the federal and state criminal laws that they will be helping to enforce.
The next recruitment for the program is expected to begin early next year. DHS said anyone interested in learning more about the program or applying should send an email to hero(at)ice.dhs.gov. All applicants are interviewed and vetted to ensure a good fit with the HERO Corps.
The HERO program is made possible by a five-year, $10 million initiative funded by the private sector that underwrites training, logistics and equipment.
HSI encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2-ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators. Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, via its toll-free 24-hour hotline, 1-800-THE-LOST.
HSI is a founding member and current chair of the Virtual Global Taskforce, an international alliance of law enforcement agencies and private industry sector partners working together to prevent and deter online child sexual abuse.

Child Trafficking Rescue (07/30/2013 @ 00:30:11)
Posted: 07/29/2013 10:57 am EDT | Updated: 07/29/2013 6:26 pm EDT
The FBI has rescued 105 child sex-trafficking victims, FBI Assistant Director Ronald Hosko announced Monday.
The youngest of the rescued children was 9 years old, according to Reuters.
One underage victim told officials she became involved with prostitution when she was 11, according to CNN.
"Many times the children that are taken in in these types of criminal activities are children that are disaffected, they are from broken homes, they may be on the street themselves," FBI Acting Executive Assistant Director Kevin Perkins said, according to the network. "They are really looking for a meal, they are looking for shelter, they are looking for someone to take care of them."
Another victim, identified as "Alex," told interviewers she became a prostitute at the age of 16, when she felt she had no other options to feed and clothe herself.
At first it was terrifying," Alex told interviewers, "and then you just kind of become numb to it. You put on a whole different attitudelike a different person. It wasnt me. I know that. Nothing about it was me.
The raids also resulted in the arrests of 150 "pimps" and other individuals, according to an FBI press release.
The rescues were the product of Operation Cross Country, a three-day nationwide initiative to aid victims of underage prostitution.
Operation Cross Country is a part of the Innocence Lost National Initiative, a joint program by the FBI, the Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created to fight child sex trafficking in the United States.
Since 2003, the Innocence Lost National Initiative has netted the rescue of more than 2,700 children.
Teen Sex Slave Rescued (01/14/2013 @ 01:57:12)
Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne spoke with the deputy who offered to help the girl. He said she was his daughters age.
That day was probably the most rewarding day of my interdiction career, Greene County Sheriffs Deputy Patrick Paquette said.
Paquette said a Georgia state trooper called him and his partner for backup Wednesday on Interstate 20 at a traffic stop. He didn't dream when he took the call that he'd help free a 17-year-old from sex-trafficking bondage.
She gave me a look that I'll never forget. I'll never forget that as a parent, for a child to look at you and ask you for help, that's my job, Paquette said.
He said the girl was with Johnathan Nathaniel Kelly, and they were heading west toward Atlanta. While the trooper dealt with Kelly, Paquette said he noticed indicators he'd been trained to look for by the GBI's child sex trafficking unit, so he called an agent assigned to the area.
She actually made the comment on the way to the hospital, she felt like God had answered her prayers and that she had prayed to be rescued, GBI Agent Renea Green told Winne.
Green and another agent, Sara Thomas, said they believe the girl was sexually exploited before age 12. She had been with Kelly at first voluntarily but against her will since November, and there was at least one pimp before, the agents said.
He used the relationship that he had with her, Thomas said.
She said Kelly, who is from Decatur, maintained he never forced the girl to do anything, but he has been transported to Richmond County to face charges.
Child Trafficking in Atlanta (08/11/2012 @ 01:47:27)
We spent several nights on the streets in Metro Atlanta. We went to communities to the north, to the south and in between. What we witnessed was unbelievable and happening all around us. Children being bought and traded for sex.
"I started off prostituting at age 11," said one young woman who did not want to be identified. She asked us to call her 'Beautiful.'
Beautiful, like so many young women and men who are lured into prostitution, ran away from home.
"I met this guy, and he swore it could be a better life for me!" Beautiful told us.
It was a life of hell.
"I ended up sleeping with one of his friends. I didn't know it was for money in the beginning but after one friend become two friends and two friends became five friends and five friends became," Beautiful trails off, lost in thought.
She was trapped in a life of prostitution and stayed in it for 6 years until she managed to escape.
"This is a problem that is not reported, that the average people don't see, and when they hear about it, they are so disgusted. It's so distasteful they couldn't possibly think it's true. But it's true," said Ernie Allen with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
"They can find 500 girls on the streets in Atlanta in any one given evening," Lisa Williams, with Living Water for Girls, told us when we sat down with her to discuss the problem. She found 'Beautiful' and helped get her off the streets.
"Before Miss Lisa Williams, I didn't really receive help," Beautiful said, her eyes welling up as she relayed what had happened to her.
She was traded from pimp to pimp and kept in hotel rooms while men were paraded through.
"You just feel filthy that these men are doing this to you," she said.
When she was 14, 'Beautiful' got into a car with a John and she thought her life would end.
"He held a screwdriver to my neck and basically raped me," she told us.
Every once in a while some girls are rescued. In June the FBI conducted a sweep across the nation including one in Gwinnett County where 3 juveniles, held in hotel rooms, were pulled to safety and 5 Johns were arrested. It was part of an ongoing sweep called the Innocence Lost National Initiative, which so far has resulted in more than 1000 convictions.
Changes in Georgia law now treat the woman forced into prostitution as victims and changes have also been made to beef up the laws to help prosecutors go after human traffickers with tougher penalties.
"For Atlanta SVU we've always treated these children as victims," said Sgt. Ernest Britton with the Atlanta Police Department's Special Victims Unit and Child Exploitation.
"They keep a lot of the underaged off the streets out of view because they know if we know about it, we'll be able to shut them down quickly," he said.
We witnessed it. We were tipped off to a location in North Atlanta about what appeared to be a legitimate business. We watched men pull up as very young girls were paraded out to their cars.
We've since reported what we saw to authorities.
"If they do not produce per se a certain amount of money, they risk being beaten," Sgt. Britton said.
"I've been beaten; I've been pistol whipped by pimps. Bottom line I didn't make quota," said 'Beautiful. As she talked, she began to tell us more and more graphic detail about her horrible experiences.
"I feel like I'm a survivor because I lived to tell my story," she said.
She's now working on getting a college education.
Fortunately, Atlanta has been making great strides in offering assistance. There are now many advocacy groups like Living Water for Girls and others who rescue young prostitutes from the streets and who work to help the FBI track known locations where kids are being sold.
"They are demanding our attention, they are our children and these are our daughters," said Williams who encourages young women and boys to escape and seek help.

Former stripper helps women escape sex industry (05/02/2012 @ 06:59:42)
It may seem like an unlikely place to find a group of women from a Rockdale County church. But for the team led by Kasey McClure, it is ground zero for their ministry, 4 Sarah.
McClure, a former stripper, began the nonprofit organization to help girls escape what she said is a dangerous and destructive industry.
McClure said it leads to alcohol and drug abuse and a life of crime.
On two Saturday nights in March and April, CBS Atlanta followed the missionaries as they stopped at strip clubs, sex spas and motels.
Armed with gift bags filled with treats, a Bible and information about resources, the McClure and her team speak to the girls who sell sex for a living.
"Our main goal is to get them out of course, but we know that it takes a while. Sometimes they're not ready. A lot of times they're not ready. It might be years before we see results for one girl we work with," McClure said.
McClure said some girls believe stripping or prostituting is the only way to make money to support themselves and sometimes children.
McClure tries to earn the girls' trust by not judging and returning month after month with gifts and advice.
As the team drives down the street, they pull over to hand gift bags to prostitutes walking on the shoulder of the road.
"You're beautiful. You deserve better," McClure said to one girl.
McClure said many of the girls working in the sex industry come from poverty and a history of sexual abuse.
McClure and her team became hopeful when they met "Amber" at a motel.
At the time, Amber, 19, said she was 9-months pregnant and turning tricks up to 15 times a day.
"I knew I had to do something to survive," Amber said. "I don't want to do it. The only thing that gets me through is I find a hole in the wall I look at it. When I'm done I count my money, go pay for my room and go to sleep."
The women pray with Amber, give her gifts for her baby and offer to get her a safe place to live.
Amber said "thank you," but walked away without accepting their offer.
McClure said she's not surprised. It takes time for women like Amber to trust them.
"Hopefully we touched her life today and she's willing to listen to what we have to say. Even if it's not today she'll remember this night and later in the future she'll know God truly loves her," McClure said.
Pedophiles want same rights as homosexuals (04/30/2012 @ 00:51:11)
by Jack Minor
Using the same tactics used by gay rights activists, pedophiles have begun to seek similar status arguing their desire for children is a sexual orientation no different than heterosexual or homosexuals.
Critics of the homosexual lifestyle have long claimed that once it became acceptable to identify homosexuality as simply an alternative lifestyle or sexual orientation, logically nothing would be off limits. Gay advocates have taken offense at such a position insisting this would never happen. However, psychiatrists are now beginning to advocate redefining pedophilia in the same way homosexuality was redefined several years ago.
In 1973 the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality from its list of mental disorders. A group of psychiatrists with B4U-Act recently held a symposium proposing a new definition of pedophilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders of the APA.
B4U-Act calls pedophiles minor-attracted people. The organization's website states its purpose is to, help mental health professionals learn more about attraction to minors and to consider the effects of stereotyping, stigma and fear.
In 1998 The APA issued a report claiming that the negative potential of adult sex with children was overstated and that the vast majority of both men and women reported no negative sexual effects from childhood sexual abuse experiences.
Pedophilia has already been granted protected status by the Federal Government. The Matthew Shephard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act lists sexual orientation as a protected class; however, it does not define the term.
Republicans attempted to add an amendment specifying that pedophilia is not covered as an orientation; however, the amendment was defeated by Democrats. Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fl) stated that all alternative sexual lifestyles should be protected under the law. This bill addresses our resolve to end violence based on prejudice and to guarantee that all Americans, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability or all of these philias and fetishes and isms that were put forward need not live in fear because of who they are. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this rule.
The White House praised the bill saying, At root, this isn't just about our laws; this is about who we are as a people. This is about whether we value one another -- whether we embrace our differences rather than allowing them to become a source of animus.
Earlier this year two psychologists in Canada declared that pedophilia is a sexual orientation just like homosexuality or heterosexuality.
Van Gijseghem, psychologist and retired professor of the University of Montreal, told members of Parliament, "Pedophiles are not simply people who commit a small offense from time to time but rather are grappling with what is equivalent to a sexual orientation just like another individual may be grappling with heterosexuality or even homosexuality."
He went on to say, "True pedophiles have an exclusive preference for children, which is the same as having a sexual orientation. You cannot change this persons sexual orientation. He may, however, remain abstinent."
When asked if he should be comparing pedophiles to homosexuals, Van Gijseghem replied, "If, for instance, you were living in a society where heterosexuality is proscribed or prohibited and you were told that you had to get therapy to change your sexual orientation, you would probably say that that is slightly crazy. In other words, you would not accept that at all. I use this analogy to say that, yes indeed, pedophiles do not change their sexual orientation.
Dr. Quinsey, professor emeritus of psychology at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, agreed with Van Gijseghem. Quinsey said pedophiles' sexual interests prefer children and, "There is no evidence that this sort of preference can be changed through treatment or through anything else."
In July, 2010 Harvard health Publications said, Pedophilia is a sexual orientation and unlikely to change. Treatment aims to enable someone to resist acting on his sexual urges."
Linda Harvey, of Mission America, said the push for pedophiles to have equal rights will become more and more common as LGBT groups continue to assert themselves. Its all part of a plan to introduce sex to children at younger and younger ages; to convince them that normal friendship is actually a sexual attraction.
Milton Diamond, a University of Hawaii professor and director of the Pacific Center for Sex and Society, stated that child pornography could be beneficial to society because, "Potential sex offenders use child pornography as a substitute for sex against children."
Diamond is a distinguished lecturer for the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. The IASHS openly advocated for the repeal of the Revolutionary war ban on homosexuals serving in the military.
The IASHS lists, on its website, a list of "basic sexual rights" that includes "the right to engage in sexual acts or activities of any kind whatsoever, providing they do not involve nonconsensual acts, violence, constraint, coercion or fraud." Another right is to, "be free of persecution, condemnation, discrimination, or societal intervention in private sexual behavior" and "the freedom of any sexual thought, fantasy or desire." The organization also says that no one should be "disadvantaged because of age."
Sex offender laws protecting children have been challenged in several states including California, Georgia and Iowa. Sex offenders claim the laws prohibiting them from living near schools or parks are unfair because it penalizes them for life.

A stent is a tiny tube placed into an artery, blood vessel, or other hollow structure (such as one that carries urine) to hold it open.
Drug-eluting stents; Urinary or ureteral stents; Coronary stents
When a stent is placed into the body, the procedure is called stenting. There are different kinds of stents. Most are made of a metal or plastic mesh-like material. However, stent grafts are made of fabric. They are used in larger arteries.
An intraluminal coronary artery stent is a small, self-expanding, metal mesh tube that is placed inside a coronary artery after balloon angioplasty to prevent the artery from re-closing.
A drug-eluting stent is coated with a medicine that helps further prevent the arteries from re-closing. Like other coronary artery stents, it is left permanently in the artery.
Most of the time, stents are used to treat conditions that result when arteries become narrow or blocked.
Stents are commonly used to treat the following conditions that result from blocked or damaged blood vessels:
Other reasons to use stents include:

One or more clients report their status to the Sophos Enterprise Console as "differs from policy", under the "Anti-Virus Details" tab | "Anti-Virus and HIPS policy" column.
First seen in Enterprise Console 3.0
There are various reasons for the client's local Anti-Virus and HIPS policy to differ from the centrally controlled version. This article will help you identify which component is causing the warning message.
Confirm the client has recently reported to the console
Initially it is important to confirm the client has sent a message to the Sophos management server recently. If the client has not reported to the console recently then the warning message may not be accurate.
Force the client to comply
If the server has received a recent message from the client then you attempt to force a comply to the client. This will undo any local changes an administrator may have made to the client's configuration.
Warning: Forcing a comply for disconnected clients will generate message build-up in the management server's envelopes folder as these messages cannot be sent to offline clients.
Reboot the client
Occasionally the client may have trouble complying the current configuration until it has been rebooted. This is especially true if the client has just been upgraded. If you have not already done so, reboot a client and wait for the client to report (see Confirm the client has recently reported to the console above).
Check if the schedule task has been created on the client.
If your Anti-Virus and HIPS policy does not contain a scheduled scan of the client you can dismiss this section as a cause of the differs from policy issue. If you have configured a scan from the console note the name of the scan.
If your Anti-Virus and HIPS policy does contain a schedule scan (i.e. running a full on-demand scan once a week, or similar) the client may not be able to implement this part of the configuration due to security restrictions. To check if the schedule task has been created on the client:
If you are unsure whether you have restrictions on the task scheduler please test by creating a scheduled task to open a small application like notepad.exe or the calculator program:
schtasks /create /s 127.0.0.1 /ru <yourDomainName>\administrator /rp <administratorPassword> /sc once /st 11:59:59 /tn "Sophos Test Task" /tr "%windir%\System32\calc.exe"
*If you receive an error when editing the properties of the scheduled task then follow these additional steps:
Delete the crypto keys from the local client
WARNING: The deletion of the crypto keys will remove the cached credentials for each scheduled task on the machine. Thus prior to deleting the files it would be worth noting that any existing scheduled task will still remain but credentials for each task may need to be re-entered. The impact of this will depend on the existing software/scheduled tasks on the machine.
%allusersprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\S-1-5-18\
Alter the Host Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS) policy setting
WARNING: The steps below should only be applied to a test policy on one group containing test computers. Following these steps will block all unauthorised suspicious behaviour and may stop some applications from functioning normally.

After two decades of obesity, Peggy Dixon had had enough. "I'd had my stomach stapled and I'd tried acupuncture, but nothing had worked," says Dixon, 56, of Anchorage, AK.
"And then one morning in February of 2001, I woke up and just said to myself: 'You're gonna do something about your obesity!'"
Actually, Dixon did several things. First, she researched nutrition and exercise and came up with a realistic, moderate diet that would let her lose weight slowly. ("Crash diets don't work!") Next, she joined an exercise program, "Curves International," and started working out several times a week.
"I got lots of exercise at Curves," she says after dropping 124 pounds and going from a size 26 dress to a size 10. "But just as important, I got plenty of psychological support from the other women in the program. As the pounds melted off, I drew additional encouragement from my success."
"Never leave home without an apple or orange in your pocket. An apple can give you the quick burst of energy you need to get past feelings of hunger and weakness."
