Measuring the Case
by: Germán A. Salazar
This is another introductory reloading article, there will be little here for the experienced reloader but those who are new to reloading might find something useful in these words and pictures. All of the pictures can be enlarged by clicking on them.
The cartridge case is a seemingly simple vessel which holds the primer, powder charge and bullet, but in reality it is a very dynamic part. Not only must the case hold the other components, it must enter the chamber easily, release the bullet on command and then exit the chamber without undue difficulty. In order to accomplish these functions, the case is actually a complex little item which varies in thickness, hardness and diameter at every point along its length and we must be aware of these variables. Additionally, there are a few linear and diametrical dimensions which we must be able to measure and control to ensure the safe and reliable functioning of the rifle.
Before we measure anything it is important to have an understanding of its characteristics and of the required resolution in our measurements as these factors will determine how we measure and with what instrument. Some dimensions can be measured directly, others can only be measured indirectly. We will demonstrate each of these and explain the measuring technique and instrument used. With respect to diametrical measurements, the most important thing to understand about the cartridge case is that it is tapered. If it were not tapered, it would be extremely difficult to form, to chamber, to extract and to resize. The tapered form makes all of these processes relatively simple, but it makes measuring the case a bit more complicated. Most importantly, it means that when we measure a case at a given point along its length, we need a means to return to that same point or the readings will not be comparable. The taper and the round shape of the case also influence the type of measuring instrument used. Some dimensions are linear and simpler to determine, let's begin with those.
The first dimension every reloader learns to check is case length. The reason is fundamental safety - if the case is too long for the chamber, the case mouth will be jammed onto the bullet, greatly and dangerously increasing pressure as the powder charge burns and the bullet does not release as designed. For each case that is standardized by SAAMI or CIP there is a maximum acceptable case length and a minimum or "trim-to" length. These dimensions are listed in all reloading manuals and should be followed without exception. Using the .30-06 as an example, the maximum case length as listed in the Sierra reloading manual (which we will use for all references) is 2.494". I trim to 2.475" as shown, which gives me about three resizings before it's time to trim again.
Case length can be measured with an ordinary set of calipers, whether of the vernier, dial or electronic type. A measurement resolution of 0.001" which is within the capability of even the most modestly priced calipers is sufficiently close for this type of measurement; there is no need for more precise measuring instruments such as a micrometer for this application. If your electronic calipers show a fourth digit after the decimal point (ten-thousandths) ignore it for this purpose. There is also no need to try to make each case absolutely identical in length; if you get them all to within 0.002" of each other, you're doing fine. Tooling and technique will influence the consistency of your trimming, but with practice and good measuring technique, you'll have safe cases.
Neck Diameter
There are several points in the loading process at which knowing the neck diameter is important. First, the neck diameter of the loaded cartridge must be sufficiently smaller than the chamber neck diameter to allow the case neck to expand and release the bullet. Second, the resized case neck must be small enough to provide an interference fit for the bullet when seated so that the bullet doesn't move through handling and during the chambering process. The case neck is slightly tapered, although not as dramatically as the case body, so while we should be careful to measure at the same place along the neck's length, it is not an ultra-critical point.
The caliper is a useful instrument for measuring case neck diameter; its resolution level being sufficient for this purpose. The main caution is to avoid the very end of the neck (the case mouth) as it can have slight irregularities. The picture shows a good location, just a bit back from the case mouth but still towards the front of the neck. Use the narrow part of the caliper jaws for this measurement to avoid undue influence from the slight taper in the case neck.
Unless you have the reamer print for the reamer used to cut your rifle's chamber you probably don't know the exact diameter of the chamber neck. The chamber neck diameter can be indirectly measured by measuring the neck diameter of a fired piece of brass and adding 0.001" to that dimension. This technique is accurate enough when using relatively new brass (three firings or less). If this method shows that you have at least 0.004" neck clearance in the chamber (calculated chamber neck diameter minus loaded round neck diameter) then the brass is safe to use.
If your result indicates less than 0.004" clearance you should take further steps to really determine the chamber neck diameter; obtaining a reamer print is the most useful way to do this. Additionally, for clearances below 0.004" you should consider neck turning to ensure that every cartridge has adequate clearance. Unfortunately, there is enough variance in different lots of brass that when your chamber neck is close to minimum with one lot, it may be dangerous with another, slightly thicker, lot or brand. As an example, Lapua brass is significantly thicker than Winchester brass; my .308 has a chamber neck dimension of 0.336" (below SAAMI standards) ammunition loaded in Winchester brass measures 0.333" and is safe (though I neck-turn to that dimension to make sure), whereas ammunition loaded in unturned Lapua brass would measure 0.338" and will not even chamber. Neck clearance is a critical safety item and must be checked!
Headspace, as the term is used here, is a linear measurement from the center of the shoulder to the base of the case. A moment's thought will show that this dimension cannot be directly determined with calipers, micrometers or any other measuring instrument - it must be gauged. The accuracy of a case gauge is dependent on the case shoulder making contact with the shoulder inside the gauge. The contact point must be clean and free of lint, dust or any other sor of debris. Make sure that both the case and the gauge are clean before beginning.
Checking headspace is a routine part of reloading and should not be overlooked; as brass ages through repeated use, you may need to adjust your resizing die to maintain the desired headspace. The base end of the case gauge has two steps; the case head of a fired case should be somewhere between them if the rifle is properly chambered. Take a reading with the calipers over the case head and avoiding the high step (which should be higher than the case head), make sure to decap the case before taking this reading.

Take a reading with the calipers over the case head and avoiding the high step (which should be higher than the case head), make sure to decap the case before taking this reading.
After resizing, the case head should be no lower than the low step on the gauge, but we want a better measurement than that. Once again, using the calipers check the case while avoiding the high step. If your sizing die is properly set up, you should be 0.002" below the fired, unsized case reading.
In checking with a gauge, one will use calipers over the case and gauge and, again, the resolution offered by calipers is sufficient for this purpose. Normally, we try to set the shoulder back (reduce headspace) 0.002" in the full-length sizing operation, the caliper can easily measure this.
The photo shows the use of the caliper on the case gauge. The measurement must be taken before and after resizing because it is the difference in those two conditions that we are itnerested in determining. As noted before, the primer must be removed and the base examined for burrs prior to taking these measurements.
detailed discussion of headspace, please see the earlier article about that topic.
Base Diameter
Measuring the base diameter of a case is not part of normal reloading practice. However, there may be instances when it is useful, either as a method of comparing the relative pressure of two loads. or to determine if insufficient sizing is the cause of hard extraction. While we won't cover those topics specifically in this article, the technique for measuring the base is within our scope.
Our old friend the caliper isn't precise enough for this job. We need resolution under 0.001" which is really the caliper's practical limit. A micrometer is the correct tool for this job, but not just any micrometer. Remember our earlier discussion regarding the continuous taper of the case? That not so small detail means that a micrometer with standard round anvils can't be used because the contact area of the round anvil is too large to capture the diameter of a specific point along a tapered case. The solution is a blade micrometer which has thin, flat anvils and will take a point reading along the taper.
The next problem to solve is taking a reading at a specific point and being able to repeat that point to check a series of cases meaningfully - or the same case before and after resizing. In the pictures you can see how I've set up a measuing fixture from a few normal items: a small steel plate, a piece of leather (vise jaw pad) and a small c-clamp. All of these items stay together in my tool box so that the setup can be repeated over time.
When measuring base diameter, it is the change from one condition to another (unsized vs. sized, or fired with load A vs. fired with load B) that interests us. The micrometer gives us resolution below 0.001", in fact, depending on the micrometer, you may be a couple of decimal points beyond that - but that doesn't mean you should believe the numbers! A micrometer, especially a modern digital version has the ability to resolve to an incredibly small degree, however, the accuracy of those numbers is dependent on very skilled and refined technique on the thimble as well as temperature, material and other factors. For our purposes (ham-handed reloaders measuring soft brass at varying temperatures), any two measurements taken with care and within 0.0003" (three tenths) of each other, should be considered to be the same. If your micrometer reads below tenths, cover that last digit with tape, it'll just distract you!
Neck Thickness
The Sinclair case neck micrometer, also shown, doesn't have quite as convenient a way to create a case neck rest, but with a little thought and creativity, I'm sure you can come up with a solution.
The earlier article about neck tension has more information about case neck thickness and related topics.
Case Neck Concentricity
Concentricity checking is really more a measure of your reloading die's performance than of the case itself, but the quality of the case will influence concentricity as will some case operations such as neck turning. There's no great mystery here; set up the tool to read on the case neck about 0.125" in from the mouth, make sure everything is clean and go slowly. Any operation with a dial indicator is meant to show the reading at various points, not to read in a continuous sweep of the piece.
This is a really specialized operation which is well beyond basic reloading. I include it here only to make you aware of it's possibility and if you are interested, please read the earlier article on this topic.
Concluding Thoughts
There are obviously a lot of measurements that can be taken on the cartridge case and in some cases, more than one way to take them. However, the first two that any new reloader must learn are case length and neck clearance, these two are safety concerns and if overlooked can results in serious damage to the rifle and injury to you.

What do architecture, engineering, accounting, legal and other professional services firms have in common? Most of them are "horrible marketers," says management guru Mark Zweig in the foreword to "Bold Brand," a new book that serves as a tool kit for firms looking to make a statement and build up their bank of business.
Professionals such as architects and engineers working in business-to-business companies tend to think of their services differently than pros working in the business-to-consumer world, which is intensely competitive and places a higher value on brand recognition. "Bold Brand"—the 265-page book ($24.99 paperback, $9.99 electronic) by Josh Miles, an Indianapolis-based design consultant—debunks the argument that B2B firms should go to market differently than B2Cs.
The consumerization of business, driven in part by the growth of the internet, mobile computing and social media, has changed the game, says Miles. He lays out the principles of successful brand marketing campaigns, peppering the discussion with such well-known examples as Pepsi, Apple and Nike.
Thankfully, Miles doesn't spend a lot of time talking about these companies, as they are likely familiar to readers. Instead, he dives into how B2B firms can successfully apply their same techniques.
The fast-moving, conversational format is ideal for readers on the go. "Bold Brand" explains how to perform a brand audit and identify the principles that make up a clear strategy. Brands fundamentally solve problems, says Miles. "It may be an internal issue, such as poor morale, management or lack of systems," he observes. "It may be an external issue, such as an outdated appearance."
Much of the book also serves as a handbook for content marketing tactics, or using websites and social media to lure clients. Although he touches on print, Miles pays far more attention to the electronic side, recognizing that this area is where firms need more help.

The Off-Season is here! A couple of months off after traveling around the world for 10 months is always a great thing. Catch up with friends, get back on the bikes and let your liver detox. On the North Shore it also means monsoon season arrives with daily deluges of 40-50mm of rain. Mud spikes go one and the 5.10s are kept perpetually soaking wet and muddy. Actually to be honest, this isn't much of a change from World Cup season, come to think of it.
The Off-Season - Fraser Britton
As a full time mountain bike photographer, I've been lucky enough to travel the world and see some crazy sights I would never have been afforded the opportunity to experience if I didn't have this job. It just usually seems to happen under some of the most inhospitable weather conditions, most of the time. For the last few years I have been lucky enough to work with some great partners, which this year finally "officially" includes 5.10, even though they have been gracious enough to keep shoes on my feet for the last 3 or 4 years already. Along with Monster Energy, Troy Lee Designs, Specialized bicycles, Camelbak and Oakley, I'll be attacking the Euro mud in style again this year. Thanks to everyone who has believed in me and helped me to pay the bills.
So what have I been up to this Off-Season? Lots of random adventuring! Riding big bikes, riding little bikes, riding deep powder, riding helis, playing with chainsaws and throwing dirt up here in the Pacific North West. The holidays had be hit the legendary deep powder at Mt Baker, watch an amazing sunset over Vancouver from Cypress Mountain with 5.10 athlete Brett Tippie, and ride all 3 mountains of the North Shore as well as the sunshine coast on various flavors of mountain bikes. Life is good!
Work season is fast approaching. 4 weeks until X Games in Aspen and then off to South America for my annual 2 weeks of downhill with my Chilean buddies and the wildman, Cedric Gracia. Stay tuned for updates from down South coming soon!
In the meantime, be sure to check out some of last year's photos at http://www.transcendmagazine.com and for information on what I do, check out http://www.fraserbritton.com

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Worsening drought conditions have placed the entire state of Indiana under a water shortage warning.
The Department of Homeland Security extended the warning to all 92 counties on Tuesday after placing less than half the state in that category a week ago.
Homeland Security Executive Director Joe Wainscott tells WRTV that the dry conditions put the state in "uncharted territory."
The Indianapolis Star reports the state is asking those who use 100,000 gallons of water or more daily to cut usage by 10 percent to 15 percent because reservoirs are being depleted.
Morse Reservoir is down 6 feet and Geist Reservoir is 2 feet below normal. Citizens Water spokeswoman Sarah Holsapple says the company plans to begin pulling extra water from Geist to help sustain water levels in Morse Reservoir.

|The Game Story:
|ASTON, Pa. – The Neumann University men's lacrosse team defeated Frostburg State University 9-8 in dramatic fashion on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Mike Pantalone scored four goals for the Knights, including the game-winner. Ryan O'Kane tallied two goals. Sam Maldou notched two helpers.
The Knights jumped out to an early 5-0 lead. O'Kane scored both of his goals in the early run. The Bobcats stayed off the board until there was six minutes left in the second quarter. Neumann held a 6-3 advantage at the half.
The teams traded two goals apiece in the third quarter and the Knights took the 8-5 lead into the fourth quarter.
Frostburg would continue its comeback and would eventually tie the game at 8-8 with just under four minutes left regulation. Pantalone would not let the game go that easily and scored 39 seconds later to put Neumann back up on top. The Knights held off the Bobcats for the final three minutes, including killing off a man-advantage, for the 9-8 final.
Andrew Neubauer made 11 save in net as Neumann improves to 2-1 on the season. The Knights will host Hood College next Friday evening in non-conference action beginning at 5:00 PM.

Neck Surgery at the C6-C7 Level
Neck surgery at the C6-C7 level of the cervical spine is rarely necessary. Most of the time, the symptoms of a herniated disc, bulging disc, arthritis or other spinal condition at that vertebral level can be managed using pain medication, physical therapy and other conservative methods of treatment. However, when the symptoms become unmanageable or the pain becomes debilitating, a physician might suggest surgery as a route to relief.
Symptoms of C6-C7 nerve compression
The seven cervical vertebrae (named C1 to C7) located at the top of the spine serve to protect the top of the spinal cord, which is part of the central nervous system and descends from the brain. At each vertebral level, nerve roots branch off the spinal cord in order to send and receive sensory and motor messages to and from the brain. When a condition such as degenerative disc disease or osteoarthritis affects the anatomical structure of the spine, these nerve roots can become irritated, or "pinched." When this occurs at the C6-C7 level near the base of the neck, the following symptoms can occur:
- Localized pain in the location of the nerve impingement
- Weakness in the triceps muscle along the back of one or both arms
- Weakness in the finger extensor muscles
- Pain in the triceps, radiating down the back of the arm, the wrists and into the middle finger
- Numbness in the triceps, radiating down into the middle finger
- Tingling in the triceps, radiating down into the middle finger
When neck surgery at the C6-C7 level becomes an option
Should these symptoms remain unbearable after several weeks or months of conservative treatment, traditional open spine surgical options might include disc replacement and/or spinal fusion, which are highly invasive operations that require months of recuperation.

HOUSTON, Oct. 3 -- Marking its first involvement with an LNG regasification terminal, France's Total SA reported signing an agreement with Royal Dutch/Shell Group to acquire a 25% stake in the Altamria LNG regasification terminal project.
The terminal, to be built near Port of Altamira on the eastern coast of Mexico near Tampico, is due to start operation during the second half of 2006.
If approved by Mexican authorities, Total's stake acquisition will mean it holds a 25% interest in two of the LNG projects companiesmarketing firm Gas del Litoral and Terminal de LNG de Altamira. The former has been awarded a 15-year contract from the Comisión Federal de Electricidad to supply 5 billion cu m/year of natural gas from the new regasification terminal and the latter will build, own, and operate the terminal.
Already a major player in the LNG market, Total currently commercialized nearly 6 million tonnes of LNG during 2002 and holds stakes in five NGL plants worldwide, the company said.

Authorities said Kimberly was taken by her uncle, 38-year-old Phillip Thomas Nussey Jr.
He is believed to be driving a white 1999 Ford Crown Victoria with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission tag GGJGW.
A felony charge of interfering with child custody has been issued against him.
Authorities said Kimberly was believed to have been taken from her mother's house.
There is an ongoing custody battle, and she was said to be in "imminent danger."
FBI officials said Thursday that a U.S. Marshals task force found Kimberly about 10:41 p.m. Wednesday at a home in Milton, Florida.
She was unharmed.
A missing Arkansas teenager believed to be taken by her uncle, may be in Alabama.
An Amber Alert has been issued for 13 year old Kimberly Nussey.
She was last seen near her home in Camden, Arkansas, on Monday.
She's 5'8, about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.
Police believe she was taken by her uncle, 38 year old Phillip Nussey, junior.
They're believed to be traveling in a 1999 white Crown Victoria with Arkansas game and fish tag, GGJGW.

Doug the Quahog knows what it's like on the crest of the wave and to crash with it on the shore. All is revealed in the 10-minute mockumentary "Behind the Mollusk: Fully Shucked," which can be viewed on YouTube and links from Barnstablepatriot.com.
For those unfamiliar with Doug, he's the prognosticating quahog who forecasts the summer weather season for the Cape on the first day of Summer. This year's forecast will take place at 2 p.m. June 20 at the Skipper Restaurant in Yarmouth.
The video spoof showing's Doug's hard times after botching his first-ever forecast (the perpetually dreary summer of 2009) is the work of the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and a number of local notables. Barnstable residents will recognized the dulcet voice work of Quantum Communications Newsman Matt Pitta, and the charming weather work of Melissa Chartrand, co-host of "Barnstable This Morning."
It was directed and produced by Melissa's husband, Tom, who runs his own production company and dates back to the days of Cape 11 News. Funding came from the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism.
The hope with all such projects is to have a little fun, promote the Cape and perhaps see it "go viral" and capture a place in Internet history. We can't promise that last bit, but we predict you'll find its 10 silly minutes worth watching.

ORLEANS— "Senior leadership and senior contribution," are what coach Laura Laramee says will be the key to Lake Region's run during the 2012 Tennis season. "We are a very senior heavy team and I am looking for those girls to carry the load," she would go on to add.
While tennis may not be as popular as the Big 3 of Soccer, Basketball, and Baseball, the blue and white still have 12 girls willing to test their skill on the blacktop.
Coming off a season where they finished 6-6 overall, coach Laramee sees improvement on the horizon, and feels that her team can become an upper echelon team in Division 3. "It hurt to see Trisha [Morley] and Darcie [Burke] not to come back this year because they are great players, but work and future careers take precedent over athletics and I applaud them for making the right choice."
When asked about the non-move to Division 2 like the rest of the school, Laramee was pleased with the decision saying, "Without a feeder program in the area, D-3 is really where we belong."
Seniors Kelly Leblanc and Desirae Colorado will look to have strong showings in their singles match-ups, while fellow seniors Cassie Desmarais, Miranda Beaudry, Shannon Dunleavy and Kaitlyn Wright will also participate in singles.
Juniors Cassidy Weiss and Brianna Fontaine, along with sophomores Alison Desjardins and Jasmyn Carpentier and freshmen Araceli Derbyshire and Shaylyn Beaton will vie for spots on the doubles teams.
The season kicks off for LR when they play host to the St. Johnsbury Academy Hilltoppers, Saturday, April 14th. Lake Region plays their home meets at the Courts in Derby and the matches are set to begin at

With 8 superb reverb effects particularly suited for live performance.
The Blackstar HT-REVERB can take you from your room to an arena via hall, plate, spring, gate, and reverse reverb effects. Each of the eight reverb effects have been designed by technical reference to emulate vintage equipment and then extensively honed 'by ear' to provide sounds that are both natural and inspirational to the player.
The features on the Blackstar HT-REVERB have been created to be particularly suited to live performance. A Short/Long feature allows the adjustment of reverb time while you are playing. The unique Dwell control is a valve gain and compression circuit which acts in the digital effects 'side chain' to impart the valve dynamics and harmonics typical of a valve driven reverb circuit. Controls include EFFECT, TIME, TONE, DWELL, LEVEL, ON/OFF switch, and a MODE SHORT/LONG switch. Includes power supply.
Sweeten your tone with natural sounding tube reverb.

Comments about Blackstar HT-Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal:
Before settling on the Blackstar reverb pedal, I tried a TC Electronic Hall of Fame (too artificial, and downright harsh with effects like Tile) and a Digitech Hardwire RV-7 (more natural, but my sample had several defects). To my ear the Blackstar sounds warm and organic, with Hall set on 2 or 3 being the best choice for everyday use. There is no padding for marketing purposes here: all of the reverb effects provided are potentially usable; even Reverse with the right rhythm.
Operation of the Blackstar HT-Reverb is simple, but here are a few pointers. The effect of Tone and Dwell is hard to hear if Level is set low. I turn Level all the way up, tweak them, then turn Level down to a usable point. Both the Time and Level controls can deliver extreme effects when turned up, unlike some reverb pedals. The sound is warm regardless of the Dwell setting, so long as the tube is turned on. Turning Dwell up will compress tone and boost warmth and harmonics. Blackstar claims that you can get "mild crunchy valve sound quality" by cranking Dwell all the way, but I don't hear that (I'm a fingerpicker – maybe that's why). The ON switch is just for the tube; the unit has to be unplugged to shut it down.
Downsides: the Blackstar HT-Reverb costs twice as much as the more popular pedals mentioned above, replacing the tube is tricky, and the unit is big and requires the use of the supplied 22 volt DC converter so it will not integrate easily on a crowded pedal board.
The Blackstar HT-Reverb is an expensive pedal, but you get what you pay for. It sounds great, has all the basic reverb options and is built like a tank. If you are looking for a top-quality standalone reverb pedal, your search is over.

Comments about Blackstar HT-Reverb Guitar Effects Pedal:
This pedal is beautiful and sounds great. Blackstar continues to impress me. The verbs are all distinctly different but have a common thread of warmth and depth. The only complaint I have is that one time the pedal got stuck on one setting. I was able to fix it easily by unplugging the pedal and plugging it back in. Overall sweet pedal.

CHICAGO --- A scientist slides on a pair of plastic 3-D glasses and an unearthly blue multi-armed creature -- an image right out of a sci-fi horror flick -- seems to leap out of the computer screen into the laboratory.
But this is no movie director's fantasy. The horror image is real.
The eerie "creature" is from the deadly anthrax bacteria -- specifically one of its proteins. Scientists at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine are mapping parts of the lethal bacteria in three dimensions, exposing a new and intimate chemical portrait of the biological killer down to its very atoms. This view of the disease will offer scientists who design drugs a fresh opening into the bacterias vulnerabilities, and thus enable them to create drugs to disable it or vaccines to prevent it.
Anthrax is just the beginning. The Feinberg School is directing an ambitious national project that will map a rogues' gallery of 375 proteins from deadly infectious diseases over the next five years. It is being funded by a $31 million contract from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. The payoff could be a wave of new medicines to wipe out some of the worst scourges to ever infect the human race.
"The concept is fairly simple," said Wayne Anderson, who is leading the national project at the Feinberg School's new Center for Structural Genomics of Infectious Diseases. "If you have a lock and a key and you don't know what either one looks like, how will you design them to fit together"" The lock is Anderson's metaphor for the disease; the key is the drug or vaccine that will slip inside its atomic structure and destroy it.
To figure out where to throw the chemical equivalent of a monkey wrench into the anthrax cell -- and others --Anderson will be mapping key proteins the bacteria uses to do its work.

According to reports, Iran has started making its own anti-virus software.
It is said that experts from Shiraz Computer Emergency Response Team of APA (Academic Protection and Awareness) of Iran have been working on the project to help better protect the country's digital defences.
Of course, Iran is no stranger to malware. It found itself thrust into the spotlight in 2010 when the infamous Stuxnet worm was widely reported to have infected industrial plants (including nuclear plants) in the country with the seeming intention to target and sabotage SCADA systems.
This understandably led to some excitable - but not always accurate - headlines.
According to Mohammad Hossein Sheikhi, assistant professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Shiraz, work on the anti-virus software began in 2010 after the Stuxnet crisis, and has since undergone testing.
According to reports, if the anti-virus software is confirmed to be a success it may be made commercially available at a later date.
It's unclear how Iran will determine if their home-grown anti-virus has been a true success or not.
Will they submit if for testing by independent tests by the likes of AV-Test.org? Will they send it to the folks at Virus Bulletin in the hope of winning a VB100 award for 100% detection of in-the-wild viruses with no false alarms? Will they test it on a wide variety of operating system versions and measure its impact on performance?
But the real question that springs to my mind is this - would you buy an anti-virus program officially written by your own country? How about a foreign country?
One thing's for sure - be careful if you are tempted to buy an anti-virus written by the Greek authorities. They do have a history of trojan horses after all..
Update: Naked Security reader @luriep makes a good point.
If Iran *did* make its anti-virus software available, wouldn't other governments test it? After all, if you know that a country's infrastructure is partly reliant on a particular anti-virus product wouldn't any attacker automatically test if its malware and/or vulnerability exploit could bypass it?Follow @NakedSecurity

Seven Up (Stephanie Plum Novels)by Janet Evanovich
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Semiretired mob guy Eddie DeCooch is caught trafficking contraband cigarettes through Trenton, New Jersey. When DeCooch fails to show for a court appearance, bond enforcement agent Stephanie Plum is assigned the task of finding him and dragging his decrepit ass back to jail. Not such an easy job, it turns out, since DeCooch has learned a lot of tricks over the years and isn't afraid to use his gun. He's already shot Loretta Ricci, an innocent old lady, and left her for worm food in his shed. He wouldn't mind shooting Stephanie next.
Likeable losers (and Steph's former high school classmates) Walter "MoonMan" Dunphy and Dougie "The Dealer" Kruper have inadvertently become involved with DeCooch. They've gotten sucked into an operation that is much more than simple cigarette smuggling and holds risks far greater than anyone could have imagined.
When Dougie disappears, Steph goes into search mode. When Mooner disappears, she calls in the heavy artillery and asks master bounty hunter Ranger for help. Ranger's price for the job? One night with Stephanie, dusk to dawn. Not information she's want to share with her sometime live-in roommate, vice cop Joe Morelli,
A typical dilemma in the world of Plum.
And on the homefront, Stephanie's "perfect" sister, Valerie, has decided to move back to Trenton, bringing her two kids from hell with her. Grandma Mazur is asking questions about being a lesbian, and Bob, the bulimic dog, is eating everything in sight--including the furniture.
Mud wrestling, motorcycles, fast cars, fast food, and fast men. It's Seven Up. Absolutely Janet Evanovich at her very best.
New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is on the trail of semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch, an old man who can still slip out of sight. When a corpse is found in Eddie's garden and two of her friends vanish, Stephanie finds herself making a devil's bargain with her mentor, the Ranger, who'll give her all the help she needs--if she gives him everything he wants.

All New Jersey bounty hunter Stephanie Plum has to do is bring in semi-retired bail jumper Eddie DeChooch. For an old man he's still got a knack for slipping out of sight--and raising hell. How else can Stephanie explain the bullet-riddled corpse in Eddie's garden? Who else would have a clue as to why two of Stephanie's friends suddenly vanished? For answers Stephanie has the devil to pay: her mentor, Ranger. The deal? He'll give Stephanie all the help she needs--if she gives him everything he wants . . .
As if things weren't complicated enough, Stephanie's just discovered her Grandma Mazur's own unmentionable alliance with Eddie. Add a series of unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news. Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her life, isn't quite cutting it. And now--murder, a randy paramour, a wily mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triplie kidnapping aside--Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life . . .

One week, we read a study proclaiming coffee may cause us harm if we consume more than a certain amount per day. The next week can find us reading an article saying the same amount of coffee may improve our health. We need to drink {this many} glasses of water a day, then {this many} glasses changes to {this many}. {This much} wine helps; {this much} wine hurts. And this is just the liquid part of our diet! We practically need a spreadsheet to keep up.
Kids get plugged into time slots just like parents. We enroll our children in activities and their schedules appear as rigorous as those of high-powered executives with a staff of administrators. Our kids, however, lack a staff to orchestrate their lives; they need us: the moms and families who make it all happen.
Remember the times when a day of shopping involved hanging out with friends and casually cruising from store to store, searching for fun, usually unnecessary, items? Now, as a parent, most shopping happens with kids in tow, lists itemized so nothing gets forgotten, carried on with a feeling more chore-like than hey-this-is-fun! *sigh*

Brett Prebble spent about eight minutes on the back of Melbourne Cup winner Green Moon last Tuesday afternoon and earned $360,000.
Damien Oliver rode Happy Trails to success in the main race at Flemington on Saturday and picked up $60,000.
On most Saturdays in Melbourne or Sydney, the best jockeys will earn more than surgeons, more than the top lawyers and over a year they are capable of taking home about as much as the CEOs of banks.
They also perform one of the most dangerous occupations on earth, not all of them are good at it, many are too fat to get a lot of rides and their careers can be shortened by injury.
But on the risk-and-reward measure, they do alright.
Oliver, who on Tuesday was charged with breaches of the rules of racing that could cost him his licence to print money, has owned bars, businesses, he has an extensive property portfolio and more.
He is, however, one of the best.
But even a good average jockey is able to earn a decent living.
In NSW and Victoria they receive $175 minimum for every ride they take.
With seven-day-a-week racing, 15 or 20 rides a week isn't a difficult target.
And all will ride a winner one day and be eligible for five per cent of the prize money their horse wins.
An unwritten rule used to exist by which owners paid jockeys - and trainers - an extra five per cent.
Or there would be a nudge and a wink and a suggestion that the owner would have something on for the rider.
Since training costs have risen and economies have taken downward turns, the "extra five" hasn't been so readily offered.
But some jockeys see it as their entitlement, particularly in the biggest races.
The rider of a recent Caulfield Cup winner, for instance, sent the lucky owners a bill for around $80,000 on top of his five per cent.
Clearly there is big money to be made by good jockeys on good horses.
But some simply can't help themselves.
Chris Munce, for example, had the job all jockeys strive for, a retainer in Hong Kong.
In a city where he knew a jockey's every move is monitored by ICAC, Munce ended up in jail for taking money for tips.
Oliver's indiscretion is a more personal one.
He bet with his own money, presumably, and there's no suggestion he rode his own horse suspiciously in the race on which he admits he bet $10,000 on the winner.
A lot of detail will come out at next week's inquiry into Oliver's bet.
But probably the only answer to the question of why a multi-millionaire wants to risk it all for a comparative pittance will be the simple one.
Because they can.

Gosh, a 24 hr. insulin sounds wonderful!! I must ask my doc about that.View Thread
I am a little puzzled that you say you figure out how many carbs you'll be eating and inject for that. My doctor has me injecting the fast acting one based on what I test at before a meal. I find if I want to eat a carb, I need to add a unit or two to the number on the chart he gave me...which I dutifully log in my log book for him to see when I go in next time.View Thread
We currently have various shades of light yellow in our family room and kitchen along with reddish/brown on bead board in the kitchen under the chair railing. We will continue the yellow theme into the short hallway and maybe even into the LR and DR.
The new bathroom has greyish tiles around the tub, reddish tile on the floor and tan walls. It may sound odd, but it looks great and we have found the color combination also helps sell a house.
Hmm, I know, when we get pictures up I can put them on picassa and post the link here.
Hubby does this because he enjoys it, his real job is programming analyst.
How'd your MRI go?View Thread
I'm female in my late 50's and kind of prudish about some things, lol. Obviously this is one of those things but I will take what I have been given and learn from others how best to handle this with grace.

Decaf in the am for me, 2 cups. Then usually ice water, maybe with a splash of lemon juice in it for flavor and right now a lot of diet ginger ale because of upset stomach.

I'm really having to totally change my diet lately and missing my rice with oriental foods.
I have found that tofu makes a great scrambled type breakfast in the morning with mushrooms and onions and that Josephs' Flax, Oat etc. Pita bread doesn't raise my sugars.
I'm hoping to find some sort of cold cereal that my body can handle.
We are now using mostly whole grain or whole wheat type pasta and usually preparing all meals fresh. I have to be careful when we do spaghetti since we use Prego down here in the South. [ We moved down here and suddenly that tasty home-made sauce I made tasted bitter and acidy>.
With my new-found energy levels, I was able to work out on the Wii for almost 30 minutes the other day. An impressive achievement for someone that could barely do 15 min. a couple weeks ago.
And life is pretty good again...I didn't realize how depressing it was to have high sugars until they came down...warbling happily as I roam around the house looking for little things to do to get it cleaned up again.
Auriga1, yes, it's awesome to have energy again! And I also am glad I finally found a good team of doctors to help me get my life back.View Thread
Now that I'm on insulin and feeling so much better I wonder how others deal with eating out when using the insulin pens. My doctor has me injecting in the abdomen which sure doesn't feel like a good place to do it in public. But then, back when I gave myself allergy shots I never could get the hang of injecting in my arm, so I used the thigh. Again, not a great place to inject in public.
Am I supposed to use the restroom to do this? Inject before we go out? Inject in the car? Yes, as you can see, I'm still confused. LOL
I'm sure I'll have more questions as I continue this new part of my diabetic journey....and I really appreciate everyone here. Thanks in advance.View Thread
We spent the weekend working on our hall bathroom. It's to the point where we just need to put sealer on the grout around the tub and on the floor. Hubby did a beautiful job renovating it. I spent part of Saturday afternoon pressure washing our driveway.
This week are 2 appts. one is a liver ultrasound tomorrow, the other is to see a TMJ specialist on Thurs. Also we will be going out to lunch with our realtor on Thurs. We renovate houses as a start up business.
The weather is a little cool here, in the 60's or maybe low 70's during the day, down into the 40's at night.
Hope they find what's wrong with your shoulder Haylen.
Good luck with all your appts. and moving Debsbears.View Thread
I'm relatively new here, but have learned through other horrible encounters that if I don't advocate for myself to my doctor, no one else will.
Also, if you have insurance, call your insurance company and ask them for a referral to a different doctor and tell them WHY you want it. They should be happy to help you find one and even set up the first appt. for you.
I hope this helps you a little bit.
Good luck.View Thread

NEATNESS COUNTS – Lori Luciano encourages Nikkita, 6, to pitch in on Sea Street.
The man in the next booth at the restaurant was holding forth on Cape Cod roads. "I don't think I've ever seen so much litter," he said. "People just don't care."
Full yellow bags dotted Sea Street Sunday morning only an hour after a clean-up event. Parents were leading children, couples were collecting together, and someone even had a little red wagon with a couple of bags of trash.
"We want to show our community pride," said Lori Luciano as Nikkita, 6, helped fill a bag. "We want to show that we love our street, so others will love it as much as we do."
Down near the bend toward Hyannisport, Hegla Berglund was filling a bag inside a metal can. "I always go to the beach with a trash bag," she said. She is the wife of community activist Milton Berglund, happy to be "supporting his causes."
Dick and Dale Setterlund stopped to talk with gate staff at Keyes Beach, where a potluck lunch celebration would be held later in the day. They looked so happy to be out and doing that these trash-picker-uppers could have been mistaken for a honeymoon couple.
"The more people who get involved, the better the results," one said.
So, to the fellow in the next booth: Don't complain – get in the game.

MADISON, Wis. -- Japheth Cato is always a busy man on the track. Saturday was no exception. The senior All-American competed in four events as the No. 12-ranked Wisconsin men's track and field team opened the 2013 indoor season by hosting the annual Badger Track Classic inside Camp Randall Memorial Sports Center (The Shell).While team scores were not kept, the Badgers competed against DePaul, Marquette, Milwaukee and UW-Oshkosh. Cato started the season off strong by winning the 60 hurdles, the long jump and helping the Badgers win the 4x400 relay. The senior ran the 60 hurdles in 7.97 seconds, matching his mark from the preliminary round earlier in the day. It marked the fourth and fifth times he has run under 8 seconds in the hurdles. Cato also won the long jump with a leap of 23 feet, 5 1/2 inches, a mark that -- just like his effort in the 60 hurdles -- leads the Big Ten based on marks entering the day. In addition, Cato cleared 6 feet, 7 1/2 inches to place fifth in the high jump. The All-American was still not done for the day. He ran the third leg of the Badgers' 4x400 relay entry, which included senior Grant Baughman, junior Tim Hucke and sophomore Aaron Thompson. The group won the event in 3 minutes, 17.46 seconds. Cato recognized the importance of early meets as an opportunity for the team to shake off some rust and fine-tune its skills. "It is important for everybody because the things we do, it's a build-up over time," he said, referring to putting in work in several of the events that comprise the heptathlon, his specialty. "No one has done a 400, hurdles or long jump in basically about seven months, so it is really important in these meets to come out and do the little things right." As a multi-event athlete, Cato must be sharp in a variety of events. Badgers head coach Ed Nuttycombe used the 4x400 relay to help get him better prepared for the 1000 meters, which serves as the final event in the heptathlon. "Coach Nuttycombe said that it actually would help make every individual 400 within the 1000 seem that much slower," he said. The 1000 was Cato's weak spot in his runner-up effort in the heptathlon at last year's NCAA championships, when he posted a Big Ten-record total of 6,082 points. "Last year, that is how I lost at NCAAs, not being able to run a fast enough 1000 meters," Cato said. "This year, I don't even want that to be a factor. I Just want to make sure I go in there, run what I know I can run, and let my speed do the talking for me." An additional highlight from the meet was junior Michael Lihrman. The transfer from UW-Stout competed unattached in the weight throw and launched a toss of 68 feet, 6 inches on his first attempt to win the event. The mark would have surpassed the UW school record if he had competed in a Badgers uniform. Also for the Badgers on Saturday: • The sophomore duo of Garret Payne and Aaron Thompson swept the top two spots in the 200 meters. Payne won in 22.40, with Thompson taking second in 22.45. • Juniors Tyler Woloszyk and Drew Simmons ran 1-2 in the 400 meters. Woloszyk, competing unattached, won in 49.20, with Simmons taking second in 49.33. • Redshirt freshman Will Ottow, competing unattached, ran a personal-best 1:21.34 to finish second in the 600 meters. The Badgers return to competition next weekend by hosting the annual Wisconsin Elite Invitational at The Shell on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 18-19.

If you're not making your video game release an event, then you might as well give up on the whole thing.
--Cliff Bleszinski, Las Vegas, February 7, 2008
This post is not about "Gears of War 2. The mastermind behind the only "Gears" game that has ever been released, Cliff Bleszinski makes it clear in the interview that follows that he's not hinting at any sequel.
So don't go looking for clues.
Instead, let's focus on the matter at hand: A couple of weeks ago at the DICE gaming summit I asked Cliffy about just how a major new video game should be announced.
Why not just announce a sequel that everyone expects, be it for "Gears" or whatever? Why be coy? Who benefits? Who loses? And, hey, is "Too Human" developer Denis Dyack right? He says games should stay out of the press until they're done. Agree, Cliffy?
One of the things I like about Cliff is that he answers any question I pose no matter what. Read on for his answers and choice use of the phrase "geek boner."

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters pledged Tuesday to investigate the county's Job and Family Services agency after it placed a 2-year-old in the care of his father, who is now accused of fatally beating the boy.
Damarcus Jackson died Friday at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Hamilton County Coroner Dr. Anant Bhati ruled the death a homicide, explaining a preliminary autopsy report showed Damarcus died of blunt-force trauma to the abdomen.
Damarcus suffered ruptured blood vessels, causing him to bleed into his abdomen, which killed him, Bhati said.
His father, Antrone Smith, 29, is jailed on murder charges. Smith told police he hit his son, but didn't say why.
Damarcus' foster mother, Latasha Tye, told the Enquirer: "I tried to save him. I tried to take him back. I tried. The county failed my baby."
In a statement Tuesday, Deters wrote: "Last night I spoke with Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine. Both of us were very disturbed by the initial reports on the case and, specifically, the placement of the child back in a potentially abusive environment. I pledged to the Ohio Attorney General that my office will thoroughly and completely investigate the circumstances surrounding the placement of this child and the baby's ultimate death."
Hamilton County Job and Family Services Director Moira Weir called Damarcus' death a "tragedy" and said her office is "as eager as anyone to examine the facts of the case and determine if anything might have been done differently."
"We are very willing to sit down with all of the parties who were involved in this case and retrace the decisions that were made. We are all responsible for ensuring the safety of Hamilton County's abused and neglected children and must take every opportunity to explore ways of strengthening the safety net," she said.
Deters' investigation comes after a 10-month period in which three children died either while in the foster care system or after Job and Family Services had been involved with the family and deemed the child safe with a parent.
In addition to Damarcus:
Tyrese Short was almost 3 years old when he died Dec. 28. His father, Christopher Dangerfield, 49, of Walnut Hills, has been charged with murder and prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. JFS was involved in Tyrese's life at the time of his death. He remained with Dangerfield despite reports that he had recently broken his leg, been badly burned and told a baby sitter his father punched him in the stomach.
Seven-month-old Ty'ionna Barfield died Feb. 18 while in foster care, after suffering what Bhati called "obvious abuse." Deters told The Enquirer that without additional information, no one will be charged. Police in North College Hill, where Ty'ionna died, investigated but couldn't determine who inflicted the injuries. Officers were given conflicting timelines of events, Detective Dan Fritz said.
The Enquirer has made public record requests to Job and Family Services related to all three deaths and is awaiting agency response.
In responding to questions about Damarcus' death, JFS spokesman Brian Gregg said state law is clear: the county has to make reasonable efforts to reunite a child with his or her parents.
A plan is put in place and overseen by a juvenile court magistrate, who makes the final reunification decision. Also involved in those decisions: a JFS case worker, the child's advocate, the prosecutor, the parents, their attorneys and other parties.
Plans include providing intensive services, such as drug and alcohol assessments and rehabilitation, mental health counseling, parenting classes and domestic violence counseling.
"At some point, if parents have lived up to their end of the plan, a final decision must be made on reunifying the children," Gregg said.
The trio of child deaths comes as the agency asks county voters to pass a levy to pay for the foster care program. County residents have supported the program with a levy since 1985. A resident currently pays $50.58 for every $100,000 value of their home.
Last week, Hamilton County commissioners extended Weir's contract by three years, giving her a $10,000 retention bonus in addition to the same $144,997 annual salary.

The design features:
Your bed will be decorated with over 100 red silk rose petals, draped with elegant fabric tulle, ribbon, long strands of pearl beads, celebration sparkling streamers and dotted with colorful chocolate kisses.
A large red heart balloon sits at the top of the bed.
A gold gift box of four, decadent handmade chocolate truffles.
The room will be illuminated with a set of 4, 45-hour flicker candles set in frosted votive holders which will be "lit" prior to your arrival. Since they last for over 120 hours, they can be used for future romantic getaways.
A red, gable gift box is included to store and re-use your items for future hotel stays.
Subject to availability. Must be reserved at least 48 hours in advance of stay.
