McAfee Enterprise Security Manager — the foundation of the security information and event management (SIEM) solution family from McAfee — delivers the performance, actionable intelligence, and real-time situational awareness at the speed and scale required for security organizations to identify, understand, and respond to stealthy threats, while the embedded compliance framework simplifies compliance.
Advanced threat intelligence — Whether its network traffic, user activity, or application use, any variation from normal activity could indicate a threat is imminent and that your data or infrastructure is at risk. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager calculates baseline activity for all collected information in real time and provides prioritized alerts of potential threats before they occur, while also analyzing data for patterns that may indicate a larger threat. It also leverages contextual information, such as vulnerability scans and identity and authentication management systems, and enriches each event with that context for a better understanding of how security events can impact business processes.
Critical facts in minutes, not hours — Our highly-tuned database appliance can collect, process, and correlate billions of log events from multiple years with other data streams at the speed enterprises require. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is able to store billions of events and flows, keeping all information available for immediate ad hoc queries, forensics, rules validation, and compliance.
Built for big data — Mining big data to find critical security information is a key SIEM requirement. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager leverages these large volumes of security data and goes far beyond pattern matching to provide long-term indicators of compromise and actionable threat intelligence.
Simplify Compliance — Eliminate time-consuming manual processes with centralized and automated compliance monitoring and reporting. Additionally, integration with the Unified Compliance Framework (UCF) enables a "collect once, comply with many" methodology for meeting compliance requirements and keeping audit efforts and expense to a minimum.
Connecting Your IT Infrastructure — While McAfee SIEM solutions collect valuable data from hundreds of types of security vendor devices across an infrastructure, McAfee Enterprise Security Manager also offers active integrations with: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) for policy-based endpoint management, McAfee Network Security Manager for intrusion prevention, and McAfee Vulnerability Manager for vulnerability scanning and remediation. With these integrations, McAfee Enterprise Security Manager can automate many first response actions, helping organizations respond to attacks more quickly and efficiently.
McAfee Enterprise Security Manager is integrated with McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange and unlike standard security approaches the pairing provides organizations with detailed, closed-loop workflow from discovery to containment. Based on endpoint monitoring, McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange aggregates low prevalence attacks, leveraging global, third party and local threat intelligence.
McAfee Global Threat Intelligence (McAfee GTI) integration with McAfee Enterprise Security Manager includes data from McAfee Labs with more than 100 million global threat sensors, offering a constantly updated feed of known malicious IP addresses.
Real-time and historical visibility for comprehensive threat detection and response. Use one environment to consolidate, correlate, and report on security information from heterogeneous devices at lightning speed.
Advanced analytics and data enrichment turn data into security intelligence. Integrate McAfee Global Threat Intelligence services and McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange with McAfee Enterprise Security Manager for a prioritized view of events, assets, and countermeasures.
Provide contextual information (vulnerability scanners, identity, authentication management systems, privacy solutions, or other supported systems) to enrich each event with context, allowing for a better understanding of how network and security events correlate to real business processes and policies.
Drive instant corrective action, such as issuing new configurations, implementing new policies, and deploying software updates.
Consolidate audit and compliance activities for over 240 regulations within a single pane of glass for continuous governance and rapid reporting.
Leverage our custom-built database engine and integration with McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software to extend visibility and control across your entire security and compliance management environment.

Fight advanced threats with real-time SIEM and eight key indicators of attack.
The top 20 critical controls for effective cyberdefense.
ESG Lab focused on the McAfee Enterprise Security Manager (ESM), the core product of McAfee's end-to-end solution for addressing comprehensive threat detection and remediation. Testing was designed to explore how the solution accurately detects advanced threats using a layered approach, the speed and effectiveness of responding to an attack, and the operational efficiencies of this integrated solution.
This report examines organizations' security strategies, cyber-attack environments, incident response challenges and needs. A survey found that security professionals are inundated with security incidents and struggle with timely identification and resolution of targeted attacks. A lack of visibility into user and network activity, shortage of investigative skills and experience, and poor security analytics capabilities are key factors in slowing organizations' response to incidents.
As a companion to the Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM, the Gartner Critical Capabilities report for SIEM helps IT security organizations compare their requirements with the most common SIEM use cases. Discover in-depth how Gartner rates McAfee SIEM by critical capabilities.
How experts fight advanced threats with real-time SIEM and identification of eight key indicators of attack.
This paper explores the use of analytics and intelligence today and exposes the impediments to successful implementation. Organizations that are deploying analytics and intelligence properly are experiencing faster response and detection times, as well as greater visibility. However, many are confused about how to integrate and automate their intelligence collection processes.
Broad adoption of SIEM technology is being driven by the need to detect threats and breaches, as well as by compliance needs. Early breach discovery requires effective user activity, data access and application activity monitoring. Vendors are improving threat intelligence and security analytics. Leading analyst firm Gartner has placed McAfee as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management.

Big data is changing the face of the global business landscape with few technologies left untouched by the opportunities it presents and information security is no different.
Most enterprise security protection efforts and products have focused primarily on blocking and prevention techniques as well as on policy-based controls to block threats. However, perfect prevention is impossible. Advanced targeted attacks are easily bypassing traditional firewalls and signature-based prevention mechanisms. All organizations should now assume that they are in a state of continuous compromise.
How Intelligent and scalable SIEM solutions help IT security professionals stay on top of an ever-evolving, data-driven environment. A report from McAfee and CIO.
This report takes a candid look at triggers for considering a new security management platform, walking through each aspect of the decision, and presenting a process to migrate.
McAfee Enterprise Security Manager offers the advanced scalability, flexibility, and control you need to protect your customers' business, and grow yours.
When advanced detection solutions, known as sandboxes, collaborate with SIEM solutions, enterprises can better understand and respond to unknown, advanced attacks. McAfee Advanced Threat Defense and McAfee Enterprise Security Manager work in concert to extract relevant data from advanced malware and dramatically reduce time to response by minimizing uncertainty and accelerating remediation.
Deliver context-aware, prioritized threat intelligence across your enterprise.
With the advent of big data, traditional SIEM solutions that focus only on logging and compliance reporting fall short of the demands of today's enterprises for threat intelligence, correlation, and remediation. McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, the core of the McAfee SIEM solution, is both smart and fast. Its proprietary information management back end, purpose-built for managing big data, offers the critical combination of intelligence and speed.
This solution guide addresses the importance of implementing a strategic security and risk management program focused on prevention and protection, reducing incidents and risks across the enterprise, across every device, and across the entire IT infrastructure.
The McAfee SIEM solution, Enterprise Security Manager, addresses today's complex compliance challenges by combining an established unified compliance framework with superior abilities to collect, retrieve, and protect the data required to assess and demonstrate compliance in real time. It's tightly integrated log collection, management, analysis, and reporting improves an organization's ability to meet compliance requirements through frameworks, streamlined workflow, and automation.
McAfee spoke with SIEM users and asked them to tell us about their primary issues with SIEM. This brief lists the top five issues along with corresponding customer case studies and use cases.
McAfee Network Security Platform and McAfee Enterprise Security Manager bring together real-time network protection, enterprise-wide situational awareness, and a responsive, investigation platform — in a seamlessly integrated solution that identifies and blocks more threats while ensuring rapid response to successful attacks as they emerge.
McAfee enables enterprises to collect, analyze, and preserve security forensic information. With a solution that includes content- and context-aware SIEM, McAfee provides alerts to security events, as well analysis on how the attacked occurred, affected users, and compromised data — so you can better understand the severity of a security breach.
The McAfee solution has two primary components: McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (McAfee ePO) software and McAfee Enterprise Security Manager, with additional integrations to extend visibility and control across the entire security and compliance management environment.
The McAfee solution has two primary components: McAfee Firewall Enterprise and McAfee Network Security Platform. The McAfee Firewall and the IPS appliance both have add-on features that can optimize your visibility into the network. McAfee SIEM and other optional products help extend visibility and analytics to more aspects of network traffic.
This white paper discusses virtual patching and how using predictive threat coverage, automated vulnerability scanning, and risk visualization is a scalable and cost-effective approach to protecting critical assets.
This paper discusses what is involved in establishing logging for Microsoft Windows systems, and discusses how those settings will also be useful in detecting system anomalies that could be indicative of system misuse or even a system breach.
To contain an advanced attack you need to respond faster and smarter. Focusing on shortening the window between attack and detection, coupled with a solid plan to contain and remediate an attack provides the best chance to overcome the attack. This is one of the key pieces of knowledge for security experts.
How familiar are you with low-hanging fruit — the easiest ways for attackers to gain entry to your network and potentially run off with your valuable data? This white paper explores penetration tests that you can perform at your organization to gain an understanding of how to apply the proper defenses to prevent exploitation of the top five low-hanging fruit.
This paper will illustrate how a well-structured security governance program with fully developed and implemented policies, plans, and procedures will strengthen an organization's security posture.
How do we get more visibility into attacks across our environments, improve our response, and reduce response time? The solution is automating functions that should be automated and connecting the dots between detection systems and response. Connecting these dots and applying intelligence provides responders rich context into the observed behaviors for taking action. Integrating these processes improves accuracy, while reducing time, manpower, and costs involved in detecting and managing events. This white paper explores how to achieve this.
SANS recently surveyed incident response (IR) teams to get a clearer picture of what they're up against today. The results are in; most organizations lack formalized IR plans, they expressed a need to collect and correlate threat intelligence and SIEM tools are their focus for improving IR capabilities.
Critical Security Controls (CSCs) help organizations break down operational silos by providing a pragmatic blueprint detailing where to focus efforts to achieve the greatest results. This white paper maps the quick wins within the first five CSCs to associated McAfee products, services, and partner solution capabilities — all part of the Security Connected platform.
This paper will walk you through the entire process — from soup to nuts — of evaluating, selecting, and deploying a SIEM. It offers pragmatic advice on how to get it done based on years working through this process as both consumers and vendors of SIEM technology. The process is not always painless, but we are certain it will help you avoid foundering on bad technology and inter-office politics. You owe it to yourself and your organization to ask the right questions and to get answers. It is time to slay the sacred cow of your substantial SIEM investment, and to figure out your best path forward.
Adaptive intelligence and real-time communications orchestrate protection in the McAfee Security Connected Platform.
Learn how network attacks can be avoided by utilizing a SIEM platform that combines historical data with real-time data from network sources and security policies to provide context around application usage, user behaviors, and other operations — for better, more accurate reporting.
In this paper, we will explore the fundamental requirements for a sound log management solution and review some examples of less than optimum product deployments. Finally, we will examine what a US federal agency should be looking for in an extensible log management strategy, and propose a workable solution for tighter integration into and support of an organization's applicable and prospective security and compliance programs and initiatives.
Today's faster, newer and greatly improved malicious user requires a faster, newer and greatly improved response. Smarter attackers require more intelligent countermeasures, including faster and more reliable analysis, to react to security issues.

About twenty years ago, Pakistan's notorious Inter-Services Intelligence agency(ISI) created what later became known as the Taliban. It has long been suspected there still remain close ties between the ISI and Taliban leaders. Sayed Ansari, a spokesperson for Afghan's Intelligence service, charged ISI played a role in the recent kidnapping and killing of a Japanese Aid worker. "Such groups are organized by ISI, funded by IS< and sent by IDI to Afghanistan.. They(ISI) don't want the rehabilitation projects in Afghanistan, that's why they want to stop them."There have been numerous reports that ISI agents work with the Taliban to sidelines projects aimed at restoring economic health to Afghanistan that are being headed by foreign nations. In particular, the ISI doesn't want Indian road and factory development projects to succeed because Pakistan fears an Indian influence in the nation.
Kazuya Ito was sent to Afghanistan to assist in construction projects and his death undoubtedly is not the most significant in the war. But, if he was killed by orders issued from the ISI, it becomes an important concern. Pakistan supposedly is an ally of Afghanistan in the fight to deal with the Taliban, but if the ISI allows its national concerns about preventing foreign influence in a country it regards as being in the Pakistan sphere of influence, then the entire world must be concerned. It raises the question as to who is fighting who in Afghanistan?

It can't be a coincidence that Beyonce was born right in the heart of MTV VMA season. The Queen Bey is just as much a part of the show as the Moonman, putting in a showstopping appearance nearly every year for over a decade. It's fate, you guys! Or should we say, destiny. Ever since her Destiny's Child days, she's lit up the stage with a killer combo of jaw-dropping outfits and fierce dance moves. And who could forget last year when she announced on the red carpet that she was expecting little Blue Ivy Carter? The diva legacy lives on. We wonder what surprises she'll have for us on Thursday night! Beyonce has become an icon of the awards show, and we can't think of a better way to celebrate her 31st birthday than by checking out her hottest VMA outfits through the years. Enjoy!

KDL Recommends For Teens > If You Like... (Readalikes) > If You Like 'Doctor Who'
KDL Recommends
Title: BZRK
Author: Michael Grant
KDL Description:
BZRK Series
In the near future, the conjoined Armstrong twins, under the guise of the Armstrong Fancy Gifts Corporation, plot to create their own version of utopia using nanobots, while a guerrilla group known as BZRK develops a DNA-based bot that can stop the others, but at risk of the host's brain.
Amazon Description:
Love The Hunger Games? Action-adventure thrillers with a dystopian twist? BZRK (Berserk) by Michael Grant, New York Times best-selling author of the GONE series, ramps up the action and suspense to a whole new level of excitement.
Set in the near future, BZRK is the story of a war for control of the human mind. Charles and Benjamin Armstrong, conjoined twins and owners of the Armstrong Fancy Gifts Corporation, have a goal: to turn the world into their vision of utopia. No wars, no conflict, no hunger. And no free will. Opposing them is a guerrilla group of teens, code name BZRK, who are fighting to protect the right to be messed up, to be human. This is no ordinary war, though. Weapons are deployed on the nano-level. The battleground is the human brain. And there are no stalemates here: It's victory… or madness.
BZRK unfolds with hurricane force around core themes of conspiracy and mystery, insanity and changing realities, engagement and empowerment, and the larger impact of personal choice. Which side would you choose? How far would you go to win?
Praise for BZRK:
"YA fiction at it's best. … It's a combination science fiction/adventure/thriller all written brilliantly to entice the reader into a terrifying world." –Examiner.com
"Squeamish as I am, Grant has me hooked with the compelling characters that populate the Go BZRK storyworld." –Michael Anderson, WIRED magazine
"Grant utilizes contemporary themes and memorable characters, along with the possibilities of emerging technology to craft aningenious world not too far removed from our own… The intelligent presentation will likely appeal to a broad audience." –PopCultureGuy
"If you are anything like me then BZRK will blow your mind… BZRK is very different from pretty much any YA book out there at the moment, and the closest I can come to expressing how it is continuing to play on my mind almost two weeks later, is to liken it to William Gibson's Neuromancer which had a similar effect on me many years ago. BZRK is a gamechanger for YA literature." –The Book Zone
"This novel is full of the intricacies of the human body and non-stop action on all fronts… An intricately written science fiction thriller, BZRK offers an in-depthlook into a war raging deep within the human body." –Deseret News

Senator seeks federal action to combat domestic violence; cites 43,000 cases in New York State
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Charles Schumer called on his colleagues to pass the bipartisan Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) that would give law enforcement the necessary tools to fight back against rampant domestic violence throughout Upstate New York. Schumer's call comes amidst new figures from the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services that show about 43,782 domestic abuse incidents in which law enforcement was called to the scene in 2011 in Upstate New York. VAWA, which is expected to come for a vote in the Senate on Thursday, would reauthorize a number of federal programs which encourage collaboration among law enforcement, judicial personnel, and public and private service providers to victims of domestic and sexual violence. On the call, Schumer highlighted key provisions of this law, including grants to help train cops in stopping domestic and dating violence, and provisions to toughen federal anti-stalking laws to include digital harassment through the internet and social media. Schumer will also highlight that the legislation would send specialized resources to law enforcement, education and sexual assault response teams in rural, underserved areas of New York. Schumer noted that the vital law has decreased domestic violence by 50% since its creation in 1994, but expired for the first time in 2011.
"There is nothing more important than protecting our women, children and other victims of domestic violence, and I'm calling on my Senate colleagues to pass this life-saving legislation without further delay," said Schumer. "For years, the Violence Against Women Act has helped send life-saving dollars to Upstate New York communities to develop specialized law enforcement units, train professionals in handling domestic violence and sexual assault, improve prosecutions of these crimes, and provide services to victims. With a 50 percent reduction in domestic violence since this sweeping safety law was first put in place, we can ill-afford to lose these resources, and this bill simply must pass the Senate and then the House of Representatives as soon as possible."
On the call, Schumer provided most recent annual county-by-county data on the number of reported domestic violence cases, according to the NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services. The original 1994 VAWA bill, which was authored by Schumer when he was a member of the House, has been reauthorized twice – in 2000 and 2005 – with unanimous Senate approval. Since its enactment, the bill has reduced domestic violence by more than 50 percent. However this life-saving, bipartisan bill expired in 2011. Many of the programs have continued to receive funding over the last year thanks to continuing resolutions passed by the House and Senate. In the 112th Congress, the Senate bill had 61 cosponsors, including 8 Republicans. It passed out of the Senate in April 2012 with an impressive 68-31 votes, but was never taken up in the House.
Since 2006, law enforcement agencies across the state have received over $145 million in federal funds through programs included in the Violence Against Women's Act. The legislation on the Senate floor this week would renew several successful programs and provides funding for training, education and outreach to help state and federal agencies do a better job of preventing violence against women and assisting victims of domestic violence. The legislation also includes new programs designed to specifically combat internet stalking and other uses of social media that can lead to domestic violence. The bill would extend these grant programs and critical protections for an additional 5 years.
In the most recent annual data set, there were over 43,000 cases in Upstate New York in which local, county, or state police officers were called to the scene of a domestic violence complaint, according to the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.

It's only a rumour, but it's the sort of rumour we like: Porsche is believed to be creating a version of its Le Mans-winning RS Spyder (pictured)... for the road.
Oh yes. French sources are reporting that Porsche will convert its ultra-lightweight, open cockpit LMP2 racer into a limited-run road car, in effect the successor to the Carrera GT supercar that ended production in 2005.
The RS Spyder, should it be built, won't be as powerful as the Carrera GT, which developed 603bhp from its mid-mounted V10. Instead, the RS Spyder could get a detuned version of the race car's 3.4-litre V8, putting out around 400bhp.
Though that's a reasonably modest output by Porsche standards - the 911 GT2 puts out 523bhp - the RS Spyder should be lethally fast: expect a kerbweight of no more than 800kg or so.
Unlike the race car, it'll likely become a two-seater, but the basic dimensions should remain. That giant rear wing might have to drop a couple of sizes, mind.
Will it happen? Here's praying...
Now read about some brilliant racing versions of road cars.

Should I upgrade or buy a new computer?
In the past a new computer could cost as much as an inexpensive car. However today, the cost of a new computer has dramatically decreased and depending on what you need out of the computer may or may not justify the purchase of a new computer. Below is a listing of different upgrade options and why you may or may not want to upgrade.
Memory upgrade
A memory upgrade is one upgrade that can really affect the overall performance of your computer. Increasing the computers memory can help increase the speed of a computer and help with the load times of many of your programs. In addition to being an effective upgrade it's an affordable and often easy and fast upgrade.
If your computer could use a small performance boost and your computer has less than 1GB of memory this can be an effective upgrade and you may want to do this instead of purchasing a new computer.
Video card upgrade
If you're playing computer games on your computer an upgraded video card can be one of the best upgrades for your computer. With the new improvements and complexities of graphics in games many older computers or computers with inefficient video cards can become real slow.
Adding a new video card is often an easy to do upgrade and is a lot cheaper than purchasing a new computer.
New display
Although a new display is not going to improve the performance of a computer adding a LCD or flat-panel display or increasing the size of your display can make using the computer a much more enjoyable experience.
If you're display is 17" or smaller, you're using a monitor and not a flat-panel display, and you have the room to do it, this upgrade is easy and a lot less than purchasing a new computer. Also, if down the road you do purchase a new computer you will not need a new display.
Hard drive upgrade
In the past upgrading the hard drive was a popular upgrade. However, today hard drives are becoming so large that most users never run out of disk space. However, if your computer is running out of hard drive space, you're happy with the performance of the computer, and you're considering the options between upgrading and purchasing a new computer adding a new hard drive to the computer is a cheap and often fairly simple upgrade.
Tip: If you feel the performance of your computer is lacking replacing a traditional hard drive with a SSD hard drive can dramatically increase the load time and speed of your computer. Typically we suggest users wanting to upgrade to an SSD hard drive, use the SSD hard drive as their primary drive and then use the older hard drive to store files such as pictures, movies, and any other files they don't access often.
Disc drives
Adding a new disc drive such as a faster CD-R/CD-RW (cd burner) or a DVD drive can be a great upgrade to a computer that either has a slower drive or does not have a CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD.
If you burn or create lots of your own discs a new burner can decrease the time it takes to create each disc. In addition a faster drive can also help with the installation process or load time of any CD or DVD programs. Apart from these two examples this upgrade is more of a new feature than a performance upgrade.
The Internet is one of the most popular things to do while on the computer and many users often don't look at their Internet connection when considering upgrading their computer. If you do not have a broadband Internet connection, it is available in your area, and you spend lots of time on the Internet subscribing to a broadband service would be a lot more beneficial than doing any other upgrade or purchasing a new computer.
Users who already have broadband may also consider faster broadband solutions. For example, if you have DSL you may want to consider changing to cable or other faster solution.
Other upgrades
Apart from the above recommendations If you are looking at doing any other upgrades such as CPU, motherboard, sound card, modem, network card, etc. today we almost always recommend that you save your money and purchase a new computer now or down the road.

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa - Of the 10 police calls for service to the mobile home unit where a 28-year-old man died last week in a shootout with officers, seven came after he started living in the home earlier this year.
A representative for the limited liability company that owns the unit at 238 Holiday Lodge Road in the Holiday Mobile Home Court in North Liberty told The Gazette that Taleb Salameh was living there for a couple months before his death.
Interim North Liberty Police Chief Diane Venenga said Wednesday that of the 10 calls for service to the unit between January 2012 and March 10 -- when Salameh died in the shooting -- seven occurred after Jan. 1, 2013, around the time he moved in.
Details about the calls for service have not been made public because they are part of the investigation into what happened March 10 when Salameh died and three North Liberty officers were injured in a shooting about 6 p.m. at the mobile home.
More records are expected to be released after the Johnson County Attorney's Office makes a charging decisions in the case. That is not expected to happen this week.
On March 10, North Liberty police responded to the mobile home unit at 238 Holiday Lodge Road in the Holiday Mobile Home Court in response to a 911 domestic disturbance call. Iowa City police, the Johnson County Sheriff's Office, and other agencies were called to assist.
Iowa City police records indicate that a neighbor told officers that she had seen a man jumping on the hood of a woman's car during an argument about his daughter. The neighbor reported seeing the woman involved driving away in a red Chevrolet Cavalier, headed out of the Holiday Mobile Home Court, according to police.
Officers arrived a short time later – just before 6 p.m. Sunday – and contacted the woman and a man later identified as Taleb Salameh, according to the Johnson County Sheriff's Office. Soon after their arrival, officers exchanged gunfire with Salameh, leaving him dead at the scene, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Three officers were struck by bullets and taken to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, where they were treated and released for non-life threatening injuries.
The woman at the scene wasn't injured, and no one else was home at the time, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Because the investigation is ongoing, details of who fired a weapon and how the incident escalated have not been made public. Names of the officers involved are being withheld until the County Attorney's Office makes a charging decision. They are on paid administrative leave.
The mobile home park is owned by a corporation – Holiday Mobile Lodge Inc., according to online property records. Each mobile home unit is considered a motor vehicle and therefore owners have to register with the county treasurer's office instead of the assessor's office.
The mobile home unit that Salemeh was living in is owned by a limited liability company. A representative with the ownership group told The Gazette on Tuesday that Salameh had only been living there for a couple months.
A woman who appears to be Salameh's mother owns a unit in the mobile home park at 56 Holiday Lodge Road, according to the Treasurer's Office.
Salameh was born and raised in Iowa City and earned a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Iowa, where he was working toward his master's degree in the field at the time of his death.
He is survived by his parents, two sisters, a brother and a daughter, according to his obituary. More than 70 people have written memories and condolences on the funeral home's website.
Salameh's criminal history in Iowa includes numerous convictions for driving and alcohol offenses, theft and trespassing. He was arrested in 2009 on suspicion of public intoxication and assault causing injury.
Salameh was never convicted of a felony, but a Johnson County judge in February issued a temporary protective order against Salameh. The petition eventually was dismissed.
When Salameh applied for a permit to acquire a weapon in 2010, UI officials expressed concern to the Sheriff's Office. Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said he issued Salameh a permit only after receiving a letter from the student's therapist saying it was OK for him to own a weapon.
In the letter from Salameh's therapist, who he was seeing for depression and anxiety, the therapist said Salameh wanted a gun to go hunting with friends.

There is really no question about Richard Hutto's quote in this article, "the federal government is spending money thinning forests that have a long history of dense stands and severe fires."
But one should differentiate forest management at its interface with homes and infrastructure from forest management for the purpose of ecological restoration. Those with interests in timberlands are equally averse to severe fires. These are the areas where the vast majority of active forest management is occurring, particularly the small-diameter fuels reduction type work cited in this article. Sweeping generalizations regarding fire ecology and forest management have perpetuated a "one size fits all" strategy among land managers and the public.

Tom Swetnam and Peter Brown "questioned how ponderosa pines could regenerate if Bill Baker and Mark Williams are correct about severe fires having scarred Western landscapes for generations." They regenerate the same way most wingless pine seeds do -- by animal dispersal. I have numerous photos of Clark's nutcrackers and Mexican jays extracting seeds from cones on severely burned ponderosa pines. The more you learn about severe-fire ecology, the more it all makes sense -- plant, beetle, and bird adaptations that are apparent even in many of our dry mixed-conifer forest types!

In the article Malcolm North incorrectly states that the General Land Office data used by Williams and Baker is a "very scant data set" that does not allow for extrapolation to the landscape scale. In fact, this GLO data comprises thousands of sites over entire landscapes. The data used by Williams and Baker, in fact, is by far the largest data set ever used to address the historic occurrence of high-severity fire in ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forests. As for the comments by Swetnam and Brown, who imply that ponderosa pine and mixed-conifer forest does not naturally regenerate after high-severity fire, this assumption is contradicted by the scientific literature. Savage and Mast (2005) found hundreds of stems per hectare of natural regeneration following high-severity fire in Southwest ponderosa pine forest. Haire and McGarigal (2008, 2010) had similar findings, indicating substantial natural regeneration even in large high-severity fire patches. Others have reported similar results outside of the Southwest in mixed-conifer and ponderosa pine forests. There are likely numerous mechanisms for this, including seed survival (which may occur more often than some assume), dispersal by animals, and dispersal by wind.

Williams and Baker argue that there is a direct link: dense even-aged stand structure they reconstruct from the GLO records equals higher-severity fire. And that is in Front Range ponderosa pine dominated forests where they did their study. So now let's compare that to what's happening in today's fires: high-severity fires do not equal dense even-aged forest stands. In fact, far from it; they result in huge treeless landscapes. Now Baker has acknowledged that this is a topic that needs more research, but I suggest that it is a huge hole in their entire model. To explain it, they have to suggest that currently it is too warm, or too dry, or that 10 years is not enough time to see the dense even-aged structure yet. But I say that this makes their model, their entire thesis, questionable. I think it needs repeating: ponderosa is not lodgepole.

If the goal is maintaining the viability of species, it is virtually impossible to manage for the future without deep reference to the past, as species are linked at the genetic level to the selective forces of their historical habitat and many will go extinct as the future becomes increasingly unlike the past.
If people care about biological diversity, or even about food for humans, we have to hope that we can reshape the emerging future to be as much like the past as possible. It seems odd to me that conservation organizations might back away from wanting to maintain as much historical ecosystem structure and function, and as many "historical" species as possible. Evolutionary history, embedded in gene frequencies, does not allow species to recreate themselves as they like for some new future envisioned by people. History matters to them.

This whole discussion illustrates what is wrong with fire management. What part of "fire is an inevitable part of the ecosystem" don't people understand? Discussing fire severity, salvage sales, etc., is a moot point. We need to make our communities more fire permeable -- so that the fires, whatever the severity, can move through them with minimal destruction. This is done not through a simplistic "thin" or "no thin" debate but with a strategy that combines all actions available. The bottom line is climate change will make fires even more intense than in the past -- arguing about fire intensity is useless. Fires of all intensities are here to stay and we need to find a way to live with it psychologically.

California's Alabama Hills -- Not only was this rolling desert stippled with boulder outcrops the setting for Tremors, my family's favorite cult film, in which giant subterranean worms terrorize a rural outpost, it's also an ideal place to have an outdoor Thanksgiving dinner. Within striking distance are the craggy, gorgeous Eastern Sierra and Death Valley, the only place I know of where rocks move unassisted across flat ground. --Sarah Gilman, associate editor
A stretch of badland country between Powell and Cody, Wyo.:
In Wyoming's castled badlands
I prefer to be near the ground
Where darkling beetles play
And marrow-marbled chunks
Of fossil bone lay waiting
For my father and me to find
There's so much to see in the badlands
In the wind-licked stony wash
Near blistered buttes and rusty slicks
Like the teeth of long-dead beasts
Gone ebony with age
Eroding from the bone --Marian Lyman Kirst, HCN fellow
Clipper Mills, Calif., is the zaniest "lost Sierra" town ever. It's between Challenge and La Porte, and is home to leftover hippies, lumbermen, sculptors and writers. It deserves not to be "lost" any longer. --Betty Ann Beauchamp, HCN reader
When you round a certain dun and dry corner of a trail in far southeastern Death Valley, your head sick with sun and your sinuses packed with particulate matter, and come upon Saratoga Springs, you might accuse a human of having constructed it, like some sort of birders' theme park. Egrets, mallard ducks and subtropical songbirds hang out within its spring-green ring of bulrush and saltgrass; animal tracks through sand mark a highway to that rarest of desert resources: water. But, of course, it's not for you to drink. If you go (February is best), bring your own. Lots of it. --Judith Lewis Mernit, contributing editor
I think one of the best places to visit is Bosque del Apache, N.M., for the Festival of the Cranes. Thousands of sandhill cranes and snow geese arrive in the winter, in this national wildlife refuge that is over 57,000 acres along the Rio Grande River. It is also an important migration corridor. --Janine Spencer, HCN reader
West of Cripple Creek, Colo., in the Rocky Mountains in the late '70s and mid-'80s, mysterious country beckoned: Dead Ox and Rattlesnake gulches, Four Mile Creek and Nipple Mountain, not to mention the evocatively named "Long Hungry Gulch." And there was one small but tall and flat-topped mountain my friends and I christened "Hole in the Ground," where you could look out at miles of rumpled land to the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo -- not a human light to be seen at night, except for your own glowing campfire. During certain sunsets, the valleys below you filled with colorful clouds, and you felt like you were perched on an island, the clouds a sea that surged beneath you and called you, always, to new adventures. --Diane Sylvain, copy editor and artist
I like Rabbit Valley. It's Mile 2 of I-70, just coming into or leaving western Colorado. Simple on/off the interstate, easy parking and a walk of less than a mile takes you out into the field where there are unrecovered dinosaur skeletons in the rocks. Usually, there's a guide folder available in a box at the beginning of the trail. You can see the whole place in less than an hour. --R.W. "Doc" Boyle, HCN reader
The town of Gold Beach, Ore., where the Rogue meets the Pacific. Kayaking, fishing, natural beauty and miles of unpopulated beaches. --Mike Maxwell, director of operations
Hot springs, which are plentiful in the West. I seek them out as I travel. For developed pools, my favorites include Ouray, Colo., snuggled below tall mountain cliffs, and Norris Hot Springs, a little funky Montana scene, where the operators have a tongue-in-cheek motto -- "Water of the Gods" -- and serve local-beef tacos and beer and wine to people soaking in the pool. --Ray Ring, senior editor
The main drag of Green River, Utah, is littered with the corpses of '70s-era motels, a gold mine for those fascinated by urban decay. Amtrak runs through there, and the roadside stands are bursting with locally grown melons in the fall. One of the only open bars in town, Ray's Tavern, has a good microbrew selection, and their hamburgers are huge. Don't miss the John Wesley Powell River History Museum; the man, a Civil War hero, only had one arm! The state park's campground advertises "No Hookups," which always makes me laugh. -- Emily Guerin, HCN reader (and soon-to-be intern)
At the beginning of every summer, I head up through extensive aspen forests to the small lakes/reservoirs dotting western Colorado's Grand Mesa. Here I can languidly paddle the marshy shorelines, looking at brook and rainbow trout below, and glacier lilies, damselflies and western tanagers above. To avoid crowds, go on a weekday in late May or early June, when the snow has just left the roads. --Paul Larmer, executive director
Any place where you can follow the distinctive trails created by grizzlies, and feel the shivery awe of putting your feet precisely where hundreds of the huge bears have stepped. One such spot: a grassy bluff on the banks of the Utukok River in northwest Alaska, where, over decades or even centuries, bears walking in each other's tracks have left a distinct line of separate, foot-long pawprints, each worn deep into the tundra and fringed all around with grass. --Jodi Peterson, managing editor
The far northwest corner of Colorado is the little sister of Four Corners and should be called Three Corners, where Utah, Colorado and Wyoming meet. Why go here? It's quieter and more remote than Four Corners. Some of the largest elk in the United States inhabit the area. And the star-gazing is extraordinary. --E.P. Kosmicki, HCN reader and photographer]]>
Please do not be so negative. I would appreciate balanced articles with happy endings. If all news is sad, I'll stop reading it.
Keep up the bad news!
Keep a balanced perspective, it's important. Present both sides of the issues, it's fair. Have fun, it's critical.
I made several road trips across the West last year, and felt familiar with so many new places due to reading High Country News.
Please do not assume we all have access to the Internet. When I am home, the dead-tree product is still the only platform on which I can depend.
I have been reading HCN for much of my life, but seem to be losing interest. The journalism seems cookie-cutter.
I'm a little worried about the glitz. I see HCN moving more toward "feel-good" content.
HCN has improved immensely over time -- not only in content, but in format.
Thanks for the hard, underappreciated, underfunded work you do. HCN is the major media outlet I use to keep in touch with the West — from Mississippi.
Since you went upscale, you have adopted this obnoxious practice of inserting "please subscribe" cards that have to be torn out to read the paper. Why are you assaulting subscribers with these?
Please cover west Texas.
Cover Alaska more!
I've been a subscriber for quite awhile. But it seems you are becoming more and more liberal and left-leaning in your coverage. Why are you convinced Obama is good for the country and that more government is better?
We are still lacking a "society to match the scenery" — perhaps a hopeless quest.
I love HCN. Would prefer some of the long articles to be a bit shorter, that's all.
On occasion, HCN has had articles from authors who had a polarizing bias and obvious political agenda. These articles really hurt HCN's validity.
I admire your courage in taking on local rednecks.
Keep up the good work with maybe a little less cheerleading for ranching and local "collaborative" efforts.
I love all of the in-depth environmental analysis and stories on culture and politics. Don't get caught up in national politics, though, except as it relates to local issues. I think it was a waste for you to have an elections issue. There's no need for you to cover it when everyone else does.
Thank you for your courage and persistence in covering controversial issues. Sometimes they actually apply to situations here in Michigan!
For most of my life, I have felt a bit alienated by most public discourse, because I am neither a rabid right-winger, nor a bleeding-heart liberal. I have always felt that a balance between preservationism and wise-use conservation can be found if groups and individuals were inclined to compromise. I've never read a publication that attempts to embrace that philosophy, so I was pleasantly surprised to read HCN.
Make more fun of Utah legislators and county commissioners — they need it!
If I could change education, I would have more discussion in high school classrooms like the stories I read in HCN.
We read HCN for class at the University of Utah. I hope to read it as long as I live in the West. It has truly enriched my life with knowledge.
Make sure you write in a way that doesn't alienate the Glenn Beck types. I'm in the "choir," but please don't forget about everyone else. How about a column written from the conservative side?
I like the serious coverage, but really appreciate the lighter tone of some of the features. Good to know you have a sense of humor.
I avoid like the plague "news" sources that seem geared toward making people feel scared, hopeless, discouraged or angry without focus. I appreciate HCN because it acknowledges problems in a matter-of-fact way, and always in the context of how people are working for real change. That tone is what matters most to me.
Fair. Balanced. Reasonable. Sensible. Pertinent. Please use these words to describe your journalism.
I think you should back off trying to cover the West Coast. Instead, stay with the Intermountain West and Southwest alone. The West Coast has their own media resources. I see less and less coverage of my area and the Southwest in general.
Thanks for the great job you all do educating and informing with a perfect combo of humor, cheekiness and intelligence.]]>
I have learned more from HCN about the West than from any mainstream source.
Reading HCN is like finding an old friend. Unlimited subjects to think and talk about.
I just "tested" out your journal a year ago. I have found what appears to be well-researched "fair" discussion of issues.
My only complaint about HCN is that it's too thin.
You are the newspaper with the small town feeling but with a global perspective.
I think HCN is much better than it used to be since it broadened its scope to include social and cultural issues as well as environmental.
Please stick to what you have done so well for 40 years and cease this disturbing trend to cover social justice/welfare/diversity issues.
HCN blows some valuable dollars on color and snazzy format, as though its board thinks the easily bored yuppie readers need enticement.
As a longtime liberal, I thank you for not reinforcing my automatic responses to controversial issues such as growth and development, hunting and immigration. Your writers challenge, irk, even upset me.
I really thought that this magazine was going to be stories about nature and wildlife with helpful hints to attract and enjoy them. This is way too political and data-oriented. I'm not enjoying it at all.
Your paper is the ultimate in providing fair and complete information on all things concerning conservation.
Fresh, on the edge, progressive, balanced, smart, humorous and on-point … no, not me … YOU!
You do not speak for my views in many areas. It really is about the economy and personal freedom. Only the lawyers win most battles.
The only irritating "issue" we have with HCN's articles are when they take on a political "side." HCN has such a broad spectrum of readers (left and right) it would be best not to offend either side, especially when you seek monetary donations.
More gratuitous nudity and free beer, please. Oh, and keep everyone's feet to the fire regarding nuclear waste.
Your magazine reminds me of 60 Minutes on TV -- coming out with the latest stuff not known to the average person.
HCN keeps me informed about the social, environmental and cultural changes that continue to impact the Western U.S.
Could do with less of the fluffy "human interest" stuff.
Your Eastern coverage boundary is political, not cultural or biological. Please add West River, South Dakota, North Dakota, and even the Sand Hills of Nebraska to your coverage.
I live in the West -- the Canadian West. Let's see some Alberta news once in a while.
Please don't turn into snowboarder/leisure class types. Lately I am worrying about that.
I enjoy reading each issue when it comes -- but it comes so often! How about fewer issues, and maybe some of those a little "thicker"?
Keep the major articles less opinionated. I read you for an education, I can form my own opinion.
Remember that indie news does not have to present "both sides" if one side is 99.99 percent of the consensus and the other .01 percent are loons, moon gas sniffers or paid hacks.
I enjoy your paper and dedication but am, at times, embarrassed about the lack of known science in some of your articles.
One of your stories made several generalizations about the residents of an RV park saying they are "Republican and overweight." It's these types of generalizations that will keep your readership from expanding.
I really value that HCN's reporting and story choice does not break along traditional progressive/conservative lines, but gives me a good overview of issues.

I always liked the guy and never understood why he didn't get more of a chance. Solid organizational depth type.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Always liked his look. Long dreads and high, old fashioned socks.
Oh yeah, he could get one base and has nice speed too. The Reds could have used him late last year with all the injuries.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
I recall that Brain Barton either had training to be an astronaut or aspired to be one. Anyone remember? MattyMo?
Good pick up. This is more along the line of what I believe Walt will do as opposed to putting out a lot of money for top tier guys.
edit:But Barton, who had the surgery in Miami while finishing up his degree, is perhaps even more eccentric than even we at Baseball America knew. The 25-year-old outfielder apparently traveled all season with a pet turtle (name unavailable).
Instead of using the quote that answers your question, I opted for the funnier quote.

Like this move for the organization. He may help out the big league team at some point in a Darnell McDonald sort of a way. Can't ask for much more from a minor league FA. Hope he rebounds from a poor 2010. Wish he was a lefty.

Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Very nice signing. We need to have guys like this in the system to provide depth.
He dominated the Atlantic League last year -- almost won the Triple Crown. Reds probably had some competition on Barton.
"Baseball is a very, very complex business. It's more of a people business than most businesses." - Bob Castellini
Anybody know if he got an invite to major league spring training?

Lugged it around in a box all the time. Called it "Barton in a Carton." No truth at all to the rumor that he once tried to use it for a cup with tragic results.The 25-year-old outfielder apparently traveled all season with a pet turtle (name unavailable).
Very nice pickup Walt. I remember Barton from his time on the Cards but never knew much about him. He showed some great OBP skills in the minors, and didnt have to bad of numbers in his mlb stint.

Strikes me as kind of a right-handed Chris Dickerson.

He'll make us beautiful and whole with the same powerful skill by which he is putting everything as it should be, under and around him. (MSG)

Came across a nice little site about LEGO... It's not very elaborate but it includes some nice schemes and drafts useful for many builders.
It contains some "pocket book reference material" that always comes in handy, especially for builders who use more than pure LEGO for their creations.
The "dimensions" in particular is a nice summary of stuff you might need to know.
No further explanation needed, check it out!

New and improved KTM690 WUNDERFEST
View Single Post
ya mo be there
Joined: Dec 2011

I haven't heard anyone talk amount the Coleman ATV seat cover on the 690, so I decided to try it out.
For $20, it's pretty good. You can buy it from Walmart or Amazon.com.I have one on my Versys and I really like it. I've done 8,000miles on that seat cover, including one 800mile day. It probably isn't as good as a $300 seat, but this seat cover should hold me over for a while. I stopped caring about getting an aftermarket seat on the Versys.
As with anything seat related, YMMV !
The seat cover has high-density foam in blocks, with empty channels between them. Supposedly this helps circulate air around your butt. The foam is about 1/4 an inch high. The cover will fade in the sun over time and absorb water when wet. Beside that, it has held up just fine on my Versys.
I had to break the buckles off the straps and just tie the seat cover onto the stock seat. One drawback is that under the seat, the straps go tight across, and I think it won't let me put my iphone under there. I like to charge my phone under the seat. So I need to rethink my charging options.
Oh yeah, don't forget to rip the dorky Coleman tag sewn onto the cover.
I hope this helps someone.

MB Corp Offices needs to have someone on hand to answer technical questions. The only answer I could get was "see your local dealer" when I asked why my oxygen sensor is out after only 3,000 miles.
Never take your car to Cherry Hill Mercedes for Service. They do not know what they are doing. Replace parts that were not damaged and charge the customer for labor. Poor Customer service!!! Returned my car with grease prints all over including interior.
just had my vehicle serviced in December for $1700 now today August 27 they had to fix my transmission and it cost me $2700 at Ft Meyers Mercedes. Only had 43000 miles on my car and I never have taken it out of state and garage kept. I merticuously care for my car. Not a happy customer
It is very sad that these people are allowed to do the things they do and no one does anything about it.
IN 2003 mercedes realized they put in a bad part as a brake system reservoir with a dash alert to go off at 100,000 and authorized dealers to fix/replace it at no charge. When i bought the car only three years old from a Marin county, ca. dealer they never disclosed it to me and never fixed it. now the alert has gone off as planned and they tell me that Mercedes won't fix it after ten years. Yet it took ten years for the alert to go off and inform me of it all. Would not buy a Mercedes new or used from R.A. B Motors in Marin County california. Not honest and not honorable.
I have owned my Mercedes for 20 years. That's because I take meticulous care of my car. In spite of that, it was returned to me several days ago from the dealership in Cary, NC., with front door damage which they refuse to accept responsibility for. In addition, the car was covered in filthy hand prints, although they INSISTED it had been washed, and the gas tank was on R. This is why, once again, I will be forced to return to an independent for service in the future. I will mail a complaint to Germany headquarters, and to the USA headquarters, but doubt seriously it will matter. If it did, the service would had improved over the past 20 or more years of various complaints by Mercedes owners.
Purchased a 2012 ML 350 back in october. Each time i put the car in reverse their is a vibrating noise coming from the rear drivers side. I have take the car back twice already and still not fixed. I will be taking it back again 4/30/2013. each time i take the car back they tell me they cant duplicate. MB in Weschester. It seem as if this a problem with some of these cars as i see other people on the internet with the same problem.
American Chevy Tahoe and Japanese Nissan lasted each over 10 years and almost 150,000 miles without the necessity to exchange rusted bottom transmission cover and brake discs. Our Mercedes ML 550 garaged and driven in the same conditions as the above cars needed both after 4 years and 45,000 miles. Unbelievable.
Beware if you are the surviving beneficiary in the event of the death of someone who is leasing a Mercedes Benz. I found out the hard and expensive way. The language in the lease agreement is very broad, general and not specific to account for death. The estate is responsible for the balance of the lease and all associated fees even if you turn in the car and Mercedes in able to sell the car. Mercedes Benz makes no concessions or allowances even if they recoup their cost associated with the lease. I hope this helps someone.
I will never recommend anyone to my mercedes dealer in bloomington mn or to your corporate customer service.im going to lexus soon...terrible service and not satisfied with the lease or the car.fat payment and small car for the needs of my familly of 4.unpleasant experience and no desire to drive it any more.once my 120 days of lease is up im going to trade it for a lexus .
Hi, I purchased a 2012 c300 from prestige Benz in Paramus back in OCTOBER which was about 4 months ago, since the first week I had problems with my front windows they keep going out of sync, I been to service 7 times for it and they failed to fix it! Not only that they told to just use the windows manually and not click it twice to go up or down atomically! Which I thought was rediculos! Then at the same time I was having problems with the shifting and the car felt so heavy and dragging while I was driving it and want pulling smoothly as it should be, so I took it back to service and they told they had to change te valve body on the transmission because it's messed up! This is all happening to a 2012 car that only has 17000 miles on it! I went back to sales and told them that I wasn't happy with the car and I was sold a defected car and I requested a swap to another equal car because it's not fair to me especially that I put down more than half the price of the car! They told me that I would loose half of my down payment and not only that but also I'm loosing money on my car about 5000 from te price of the car! Horrible horrible service and so unfair! I asked for the history of the car it turned out they worked in the bumpers and windows before which they told me that never happened when I bought the car! THEY LIED TO ME AND DECEIVED ME! I went online to check the inventory I found that the price that they said my car is worth now is equal to a 2010 car that has 34,000 miles on it! Mine is 2012 with only 17,000 miles on it! THEY TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE IT UP WITH BENZ THEMSELVES!i don't know what to do but I really need someone to help me get what I want and my money worth! It's only fair... But PRESTIGE BENZ ARE LIARS LIARS LIARS! DON'T EER BUY FROM THEM! they ARE CONS! Worst experience ever! So PLEASE HELP KE RESOLVE MY ISSUE WITH THIS DEFECTIVE CAR THAT I WAS SOLD UNDER FALSE MISLEADING INFORMATION! Thank you Sarah
I have a slk230 which is a great little car recently I started having problems with the brake light and ESP/abs light. I took it to Mercedes dealer here in Myrtle beach on 2-20, 3-4, 3-14, 3-19 each time they wanted more money for more parts. Almost 1,000 dollars and the issue has not been resolved and I am out of money. Very disappointed in beach automotive.
i pickd up my new gl550 23013 from ray catina in edison nj on march 7/2013 i paid top dollar for the car no discount whatso ever cause they say there is none to get and now after 6 days of me leasing the car ,im already having problems with the car and there service stinks ,all im getting from the salesman that sold me the car is a whole bunch of excuses
I had a accident in my ML 350 w4 and the part was not in stock and MB can not tell me when it will be in stock . I have spent the last 30 days trying to get a answer from a company that promotes CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. What a lie. I have been a MB owner for over 20 years 12 cars in the family and this might be the end. BMW here I come. Even the dealer where I have leased my cars has stuck his head in the sand. they just try and wear you out. MB should be BM Bull---t Mania
I purchased a 1998c230 Mercedes my car only have 157,000miles very upset because the headliner needs replacing.I hope no one else have had this problem.
I previously commented on my experience at Prestige. Since then they have resolved all issues satisfactorily. I am withdrawing my complaints.
Hi We lease two Mercedes Benz ML 350 and the C 300 And we are lucky to have meet Paul Karkenny @ Freehold dealer. He has helped up in service and guide us with our service program As was un a ware that certain things were need to better the life of our auto. We both make it a point to go to Paul. He is very helpful and adds a little reason to go for service. We have never had a problem and our auto is always there as he promised it thanks you CI Serenita he is a friend and cares about you
the worst dealer in Orlando ,FL is Mercedes Benz . Mercedes-Benzes of south Orlando 4301 millennia Blvd. Orlando, FL 32839. I took my car 4 months. Ago I was charge $ 1500 . and I was told they couldn't fix the car??!! my car still in the dealer . to get up date about the car I have to call 3-4 times a day. pleas don't take your car to that dealer!!!!
It seems that once you purchase a car then you are on your own. I have had nothing but trouble trying to get someone to help me to get my phone charger out of a car that I traded in. It took 10 days. Then I can't get anyone to help me with my cancellation of Mbrace. Don't go to Park Place in Grapevine.

Players reject deal, and will file anti-trust action against the NBA.
This is Stern's worst nightmare. Owners could've mildly relented on few system issues, and ended this weeks ago. Now, all hell breaks loose.
The lawyers will file suit within next two days. No need to wait on decertification. Union is disbanded immediately.
The chances of losing the entire 2011-12 season has suddenly become the likelyhood.
The players hired David Boies, a top anti-trust attorney. He handled NFL claim, and several top cases.

OLDER people with mild memory problems often fear a descent into Alzheimer's disease. A new blood test can tell who will succumb.
Abdul Hye at King's College London and colleagues found the levels of 10 proteins in blood allowed them to predict who will develop the disease a year after mild cognitive problems. Its accuracy was almost 90 per cent and it could be available in two years (Alzheimer's & Dementia, DOI: 10.1016/j.jalz.2014.05.1749).
The test is initially likely to boost the search for treatments. In a clinical trial, it is hard to tell if a drug is working or if participants just have a slowly progressing form of Alzheimer's. The test could identify ideal candidates.
"It is a technical tour de force," says Eric Karran of the charity Alzheimer's Research UK, but he is cautious about its use beyond research. For every 10 people who take the test, one gets a false result. "Alzheimer's is the most feared diagnosis, so we have to be careful," he says.
Other blood tests claim to be able to predict Alzheimer's by detecting lipids. This one uses more easily measured proteins.
