Hello all -This is an uncomfortable subject about a very uncomfortable condition....and is probably more than you'd ever want to know about anyone.I am in the market for new shorts....Alas, I find that chafing on the trail is a real problem if I wear underwear or shorts with the built-in briefs. I ended up cutting the briefs out of the shorts on the last trip and that did help the situation some.Does anyone have any recommendations for dealing with this more effectively or can recommend any shorts that are cut in such a way is to reduce chafing?Fed up with friction,Dirk

i go commando, usually works out OK. the only thing that i have found for chafing that works is bag balm. body glide, hydropel, and sport slick seem to keep the angry areas too moist and agitated. its the green can at the drug store. works like a charm, also, take EVERY opportunity to wash up that you can. the less sweat on you the less likely you are to chafe in the first place. good luck
I've never had chafing in my life, lucky me :) but my friends sware by cornflour.Jay

It depends where it is Dirk(there was a thread on this a few months or so ago with lots of comments, but I'll give you a few pointers).I get chafing on my inner thighs from them rubbing together. It started when I put on muscle a few years ago (seems alot of people get this...in the Australian Army, they issue bike shorts as standard). Same would happen if you are carrying unwanted flab. Best solution for me here is to wear lycra/spandex bike shorts (without chamois padding-there are lots of running specific versions these days-in fact im aiming to buy a new pair tomorrow). Gels, etc as already mentioned also help, though I don't ever need both at the same time.I've had a bit from wearing briefs in other places, usually on my but cheeks or bottom of lower back from seems/elastic and pack rubbing. This is usually from jocks I'm not used to and that are cotton with thicker elastics. Going commando under the bike shorts fixes this, and if I do this I normally wear shorts with mesh liners to give me support. I'm hoping my next pair of lycra shorts have better support.One of my mates gets shocking chafing in places where u really dont want it, like right up top in between his legs, scrotumm (bad spelling is so that it passes the profanity filter...sorry BPL, but I'm being serious here not offensive), etc. We haven't solved it, but the gels, hydropel (the main one we use), etc, help, as does airing/reducing sweating. Cleaning would help, but it still happens when he's clean. Sometimes he just has to slow down so he doesn't sweat as much. I reckon he should clean shave regularly (like daily) down there, but thats a real hassle.Hope this helps.
Tight(ish) boxer briefs are you friend here. Synthetic of course, or perhaps wool (inferior base layer IMO). I carry a small Bodyglide stick if I'll be logging 30 miles or more a day, and/or if it's quite hot out. I cut the mesh briefs out of my running shorts a while ago because they didn't get the job done. With good undies and PROACTIVE lube use I've gone 60+ miles in a day with no chaffage.
Get the Ex Officio boxer briefs. They aren't cheap, $30, but they took care of the problem I was having with the inner thighs. I am short, fat and looking hard at 40. Light fabric that collects no sweat. I have like 7 pairs of them now so they must work.
Ref <<>I believe you mean cornstarch. It's right next to the talcum powders.sk
Cornstarch does work wonders. Mom used to use it on the grandbabies when they had diaper rash and heat rash.Bryan wears a brand of boxer briefs called Snob. They make a big difference (but they are over $13 a pair).
I have chafe problems with one pair of synthetic boxer-briefs, they are too tight across the but and cause self-chafing.. Regular cotton undies work way better, most of the time. Around Tahoe, usually have low humidity or if not, then lower temps.Never have tried to do 60 miles in a day though. I used some sunblock as emergency lube once, burned like crazy at first but it did help.If you are shopping the web (may as well since you can't try them on in the store either) check out These Terramar $10-11 ones from STP
Edited by Paul_Tree on 10/30/2008 11:33:42 MDT.
Having had experience with those issues in the past, 2 things have worked for me; ExOfficio boxer briefs was one, going commando with the ExOfficio convertable zip off pants with the built in mesh brief also worked. Both are reasonably light weight options.Best wishes, hope your problem gets solved, it can really take the joy out of hiking.John
Patagoina capilene boxers - relatively lightweight, but super comfortable. Dufold boxer briefs- lighter than the Patagonia stuff. Or some inexpensive synthetic rayon/polyester mix boxer shorts (got 2 pair from JC Penny for $12 a pair) I wear them sailing too and they dry fast. Relatively lightweight and pack small.Also inexpensive running shorts that have the same material in the brief portion too. They work well and serve the same purpose. I also have a lightweight pair of Brooks running shorts that have a good built in breif and no chaf running a marathon.
I also add a vote for lycra shorts. You can wear them either by themseleves, or as underwear underneath ordinary shorts. The shiny synthetic fabrics seem to work best (less friction and dampness than cotton).
I used to have chafing problems. I tried silk boxer briefs, spandex compression shorts, and loose fitting polyester boxers. I ended up opting for going commando in highly breathable polyester gym shorts (walmart variety) and carrying a small container of corn starch. It dries your nether regions very well and is slick. I will also second washing to remove dirt and oil at least once per day. I am about to make a rain skirt like the ULA one to hopefully keep breathability high in the rain.
Much already mentioned. I've tried a lot. Little has worked. What's worked best:1) Merino boxer briefs, tight-ish fitting2) Gold Bond or baby powder3) Regular washing4) Extra pair or two (sacrilege!) of briefsBiggest problem i continue to run into is itching/etc after about three days on the trail. Campsuds and water do not clean briefs well enough for me. I seem to be sweating increasingly more. Now carry two spare pair for 10 days- 2 weeks. A few extra ounces that save me agony. Don't forget, washing and powder. (I also like the kilt idea...)
A kilt solved the problem for me. Currently I wear a Utilikilt work-kilt--way too heavy (made out of cotton canvas-like stuff). But it is comfortable, convenient, rugged and loaded with pockets. Not really lightweight though :-( .Currently I am playing with the idea of making my own kilt from wool.LIBERTAS+PAX PACIS
Dirk Years ago when I was racing enduro's I suffered allot. We used to call it monkey bum. Then I started using Anolin, a cream meant to stop nappy rash. And still do to this day. Its great for chafing, preventing blisters on feet, dry lips etc. You may not be able to get that exact brand but I'm sure there is something similar.Hope that helpsDarren
I got a pair of ExOfficio boxer briefs...no problems since!
Yeah, good things.Cheers
Any synthetic old-school style (blousy) boxer works just like going commando...allows for lots of air circulation. Prevention is always worth a pound of cure. Anti Monkey Butt Powder (with Calamine powder) is a sweat absorber and friction fighter and a favorite of cyclists for shorts and shoes. Those little Moist Toweletts packets are great for cleaning up.
I have to say, I didn't expect as many people to contribute to this thread. To all, thank you very much! It seems everyone has a different solution to this issue. My problem is in the groin region,and I find all the shorts/underwear combos so far have resulted in added friction. I am 5-8 and built sort of like a fireplug (alas, I lack those long legs that make some of you so tough to keep up with).But I will try some of the underwear suggested as well as the myriad of variety of balms/powders a try. I think finding the "right" combo will be a priority after my recent troubles. In any case, losing a few pounds is one area totally under my control. That would help. Also, I will clean up twice a day to see if that alleviates the problem. I very much appreciate everyone's suggestions. They are excellent. I will try some of these and report back as to what worked for me! Thank you all for contributing to this thread. It is good to know that I do not suffer alone!Dirk

Cecce Tops Late Model Tour
by Tim Terry on November 21st, 2012
The NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Tour (NiLMT) has spawned some great champions of this virtual sport and with the drivers and teams of this series visiting a diverse set of tracks in 2012 Season Four, it would be no surprise to see the top drivers from this season move on to the upper echelons of the iRacing simulation. In fact, in the first three weeks of the season, the series would visit three distinct tracks and produce three different winners when the points were handed out at the end of each week. Week One took place at the Lanier National Speedway bullring and when the final laps were completed, it was a Late Model veteran who stood tall amongst his 815 peers who took a green flag at the Georgia [...]
Saxon Sails to Top of Tour Modifieds
by Tim Terry on November 16th, 2012
In the first two weeks of the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified (NiTM) Series, Nathan Saxon has put the field on notice that he will be a contender for the title in 2012 Season Four.

iRacer of the Week: Michael Conti
by David Ifeguni on July 9th, 2012
As most of us know, the iRacing population is mostly filled with adults. But there are also plenty of teenagers and young kids who take part in sim-racing. Logically, if you compare adults to the overall youth on iRacing, the adults should run better and win more races based on the years of experience that the teenagers and kids lack. Yet, these teenagers and kids should not be underestimated just because of their age. I'm part of the youth group on iRacing and I have achieved a fair amount, including 16 top fives, six poles and a win at Daytona in 70 oval starts. There is one person though, who is leading the youth group and has taken iRacing by storm: Michael Conti. In two and a half years, the [...]
Parker Makes DARE Stock Debut Friday at Stafford
by Tim Terry on May 10th, 2012
Josh Parker, one of the most prominent oval racers on the iRacing service, is set to make his real racing, stock car debut at the Stafford Motor Speedway this Friday night (May 11). Parker (Exeter, RI) will be driving a DARE Stock race car out of the Rent a Racecar New England stable on Friday at the Stafford Motor Speedway (CT) as a part of their Weekly Racing Series program. DARE Stock race cars are powered by V8 motors built on American fabricated chassis that resemble their street counterparts. Parker, who drives online in the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship (NiSWC), practiced a DARE Stock car during the Spring Sizzler weekend and was set to make his maiden race laps in the car one week ago but rain halted the [...]
Brooks Best in Class C
by Tim Terry on April 29th, 2012
The season long battle between Justin Brooks and Heath Hindman for the NASCAR iRacing Class C Series (NiCCS) crown came down the final two weeks of the season. Hundreds of sim racers came out to test their skills at the Darlington Raceway and Kentucky Speedway in the final two rounds, but when the final laps were ran and the checkered flag fell on 2012 Season One, it was Brooks who would ultimately edge out Hindman for the prestigious title. Week Eleven of the series took the Trucks to the Darlington Raceway where Phil Juhring took the top spot over 400 others who took a green flag at the track "Too Tough to Tame." Juhring's big win of the week came during a 2801 sof race on April 10th in which [...]
Lambert Outlasts Late Model Field
by Tim Terry on April 28th, 2012
After 12 weeks of action and thousands of laps in the 2012 Season One iRacing Late Model Tour (iLMT) season, it was Mark Lambert who came out on top of over 3,100 drivers to become champion of the series. While he was relatively quiet in the last two weeks of his championship season, many others took the chance to make some noise in the final two rounds of the popular short track series. The final two weeks of the season took the series to the Bristol and Stafford Motor Speedways. When the series went to the Bristol high banks for Round 11, it was Tanner Stoops who took the checkered flag in the race to the top of the weekly standings. Stoops won three of the four races he ran [...]
Mungin Tops Tour Mods Mountain
by Tim Terry on April 25th, 2012
While James Poleske will go down in the books as finishing off 2012 Season One with the most points in the final two weeks of the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS) season, it will be Giovanni Mungin who will have his name etched on the championship trophy. Mungin was officially crowned the champion after the 12-week online racing season ended Saturday night, which is the fourth in the row for the Wide Open Racing team. Poleske was the one who put the most points up on the board in Week Eleven and Twelve competition at the New Hampshire Motor and Thompson International Speedway's, respectively. The big race on the "Magic Mile" of New Hampshire Motor Speedway took place on April 12th in which Poleske led 11 of the 75 [...]
Mungin Marches Closer to Modified Crown
by Tim Terry on April 14th, 2012
Giovanni Mungin continues to inch closer to his first NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS) championship after a strong showing during Week Nine and Ten of the series. When the weekly points were awarded at the Milwaukee Mile and USA International Speedway, it was the championship hopeful besting all his nearest rivals at the top of the charts. Those performances brought him closer to the overall title, something he can see in the virtual windshield with just two weeks remaining in the season. The highest strength of field (sof) race for Round Nine took place on March 29th. The 75-lap online race at the Milwaukee Mile was set at 4293 sof and was so strong that the top five in this race would end up in the top five on [...]
Lambert & Smith Battle for Late Model Crown
April 13th, 2012
With the checkered flag in sight, the championship contenders in the NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Series (NiLMS) have begun to step up their game. One doesn't have to look past the last two weeks in the series to see who will be battling for the title heading down to the wire. Heath Smith and Mark Lambert landed on the podium in the last two rounds of the series at the USA International and Martinsville Speedways, putting the iRacing short track world on notice that they want the championship in 2012 Season One. Week Nine of 12 on the series took the sim racers to Florida and the virtual USA International Speedway. Both Smith and Lambert made two starts on the week and each took home two wins but it was [...]
Class C Landscape Changes
by Tim Terry on April 13th, 2012
In past seasons, the top of the charts when it came to points in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (NiCCS) has been littered with Pro/Drivers World Championship drivers. With the exception of Ashley Miller's 2011 Season Three title, each champion of the NiCCS Open Series has had roots running through the NASCAR iRacing.com Series World Championship (NiSWC), the top oval series on the online racing service. This season will be the second exception as A License drivers Justin Brooks and Heath Hindman battle for the top spot in the series with two weeks to go in 2012 Season One. Hindman took one step forward in his effort to lock down the title during Week Nine when he took the weekly win at the Martinsville Speedway. Hindman, an accomplished short [...]
Paquette Prime at Thompson
by Tim Terry on March 29th, 2012
Maxime Paquette has placed his bid for a late season push to the 2012 Season One NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Series (NiLMS) title after a strong showing during Week 8 action at the Thompson International Speedway. Over 700 sim racers hauled to the virtual Connecticut race track to showcase their short track skills on the high banks and when all the dust settled, it was St-Cesaire, QC's Paquette who ended up on top of the weekly standings. Paquette scored two wins in three starts at Thompson, with his top win coming on March 24th during a 3018 strength of field (sof) race. One lead change transpired in the 50 lap online race when Paquette, who started third, took the lead from outside pole sitter Chase Raudman with 11 to go. [...]

Former NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS) champion Herb Engelhart made his presence known during Week Eight of the 2012 Season One campaign as he rocketed to the top of the weekly standings at Bristol Motor Speedway. Engelhart, who has been running a scaled back online racing schedule this season, topped 106 other sim racers in his effort to take the top spot in "Thunder Valley." Engelhart's triumph of the week came on March 22nd when he went to victory lane in the 100-lap feature on the high banks. Engelhart started third in the field and led 29 laps en route to the win. The race featured five cautions and five lead changes amongst five leaders. Only the top three finished on the lead lap with Richard Smith5 and Derrick [...]
Hindman Steals Class C Spotlight
by Tim Terry on March 28th, 2012
Heath Hindman has turned the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series into his own personal playground in the past two weeks. While other sim racers racked-up wins and top finishes at Pocono Raceway and Michigan International Speedway, Hindman had the point picture in mind as he rocketed up to the top of the standings after the eighthh round of 2012 Season One. Hindman's Week Seven triumph came on March 17th during a 3499 strength of field (sof) race at Pocono. Hindman led 15 of the 50 laps of the race after starting in 12th place and finished two seconds up on Craig Jernigan at the finish. Mark Wright was third, followed by Tony Monge and Richard Hillenburg. Mason Weitzel started on the pole and led four laps before falling to 15th [...]

Former Tour Mod Champs Flex their Muscles
by Tim Terry on March 22nd, 2012
Robert Sandt and Brandon Salvatore both know what it means to win a championship in the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified Series (NiTMS). Both have demonstrated speed and consistency in the past to win those prestigious online racing titles and in the past two weeks of 2012 Season One, both have shown strength to take away weekly wins. Sandt showed the way at the South Boston Speedway during Round Six while two-time and defending series champ Salvatore topped the field at the Phoenix International Raceway. Sandt scored two wins on the week at "SoBo," with the big one coming in the top split of the week on March 7th. The race, rated at a 3734 Strength of Field (SoF), saw Sandt leading 81 of the 120 laps of a race slowed [...]
Kostecki King of Trucks
by Tim Terry on March 15th, 2012
The stars of the NASCAR iRacing Class C Series crossed the midway point of the 2012 Season One campaign following Rounds Five and Six at the Phoenix International Raceway and Bristol Motor Speedways, respectively. While the venues are very different from one another, one thing stayed the same over the two weeks. When all the dust settled, Brodie Kostecki stood above the rest as the weekly leader at both tracks! Kostecki led over 1,200 other sim racers in taking the weekly win at the Phoenix International Raceway during Round Five of the series. The 100-lap online race that put Kostecki over the top for the week came on March 4th during a 3964 Strength of Field (SoF) event in which Kostecki went to victory lane after leading 72 laps. Finishing [...]
Mungin Emerges at Tour Mod Title Contender
by Tim Terry on March 7th, 2012
Giovanni Mungin has proved himself as a championship threat after two strong weeks in the NASCAR iRacing.com Tour Modified (NiTM) Series. The Pennsylvania sim racer has lit-up the division, winning the last two rounds of the series at the Iowa and the Stafford Motor Speedways respectively. Mungin gained points during Round Four by winning the second highest split of the week when the series went to the Iowa race track. That race was rated at 3503 sof and saw Mungin lead all but one of the 100-laps in the race. Taylor Meyn was three quarters of a second back at the runner up spot with defending series champion Brandon Salvatore, Samuel Dick and Herb Engelhart completing the top five in the event. Two yellow flags and two lead changes set [...]
Lambert Leads Late Models Through Week Five
March 6th, 2012
Mark Lambert continues on a roll in the NASCAR iRacing.com Late Model Tour as he has extended his point lead in the popular short track division through five weeks of online racing in 2012 Season One. With two short tracks as characteristically different as New Smyrna and Oxford Plains Speedways in the last two weeks of the season, it was Lambert who adapted the quickest, scoring big wins at both facilities in Weeks Four and Five respectively. While it was Lambert taking the highest strength of field (sof) win for the week at New Smyrna Speedway, it was second place finisher Max Paquette who took top point honors due to multiple starts by the point leader. Lambert's win came in a 3070 sof race on February 23rd in which he [...]
Buchberger Best at Daytona
by Tim Terry on March 2nd, 2012
The series runner-up in 2011 Season Four in the NASCAR iRacing.com Class C Series (NiCCS) was top of the board when it came to the standings for Week Four in the 2012 Season One at the Daytona International Speedway. Brandon Buchberger took the top point total out of Daytona as 2,400 sim racers took to the repaved, virtual high banks to look for super speedway glory in Round Four of the online racing series. Buchberger's win came during a 4012 Strength of Field (SoF) of race on Tuesday in which he led just nine of the 50 laps en route to the victory.

When buying or selling college textbooks on the Internet, do price comparisons between various websites. There is wide variation among prices, so you may find it worthwhile to buy certain books on one website and others elsewhere.
Give the school a year before deciding if it's right for you. Many students get homesick or feel that they made a mistake because it's a different experience from anything they may have ever encountered before. If you still feel like this school is wrong for you after a year, you can consider other options for the following year.
Your classes aren't the be-all and end-all of college. Get involved with extracurricular activities on campus. Join some clubs and sign up for work-study opportunities. There are various activities that happen at college nearly every week. To encourage this form of experimentation, set a goal of trying at least one new activity every week.
Buy used textbooks. Textbooks are generally quite costly. Tuition is also very expensive, so you'll want to save money in any way possible. Look for online retailers and bookstores for used textbooks. You can save an incredible amount of money by purchasing used books.
In terms of studying effectively, environment is critical. A dorm is the worst place you can study. Instead, seek out a place that's quiet and isn't full of distractions. Going to the library is probably the best option. Another good choice is to purchase headphones that cancel out the noise. It takes time to build new friendships. Show up early to class to meet new people. This allows you to have a few moments to speak to your classmates before class. This is a great way to start a conversation.
Give yourself needed breaks. Studying is important and breaks are too. Be sure you take ten minutes of breaks for every hour you study. Establish a schedule and plan on studying certain sections of your class.
The importance of a college education cannot be overstated. Putting in the time to complete your degree doesn't just enhance your future financial opportunities; you'll also expand your mind and your circle of social contacts. This article will help you ensure college is the best experience it can be. If you are in high school, you should think about going to college, but do not let your education stress you out. It's important to focus on grades today. Volunteer at some charities. Check out the schools that interest you. However, do not get overly concerned about entrance prerequisites until your junior year.
Eat your meals when you're on campus as often as you can if you want to save a little money. Avoid restaurants, fast food and expensive microwave dinners if you are on a budget. Student meal plans are a convenient and economical option. Use fast food money to instead buy groceries that are healthy and wholesome.
Pack your enough of your essential toiletries when you go off to college. These are necessities that you will require each and every day. When the opportunity is available, bulk purchases are best for saving money and time.
When you already have a job, getting a degree online can be easier for you. These online schools are ideal for those students with irregular schedules, or those who do not have access to local classes. Online colleges let you do coursework when you want and where you want that works with your schedule. Buy textbooks used. Textbooks are generally very expensive. Buying used books can help you keep a little money in your pocket. There are many bookstores or online marketplaces where purchasing used books is easy. You'll save more when you purchase used books. Develop good, long lasting relationships with professors. Professors are intelligent and can guide you in the right direction. Do not hesitate to ask questions, and volunteer to help whenever possible. Developing good relationships with them can help you achieve better opportunities and grades. They are important to your success.
Choose an advisor for your specific field of study. These people will be best able to advise you in what courses to take. They often provide advice on which school would be the best choice, too. Try to contact all the advisors you can. Don't just go to the department head.
Study each and every day to help keep material fresh in your brain. Even though you may find other things to do, make sure to find time to study. Give yourself a minimum of an hour to study daily. Even if you think you don't need to study, do it anyway. Starting a habit is the best way to maintain focus.

The purpose of the trial is to compare two local anesthetics, articaine and bupivacaine for outpatient lower limb surgery. Onset and recovery times of sensory and motor blockade will be compared.
Spinal Anesthesia
Drug: spinal administration of articaine
Drug: spinal administration of bupivacaine
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double-Blind
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Spinal Anesthesia With 5% Articaine and 0.5% Bupivacaine for Outpatient Lower Limb Surgery. A Double-Blind Randomised Clinical Trial
- recovery time from motor blockade
- onset of sensory and motor blockade
- maximum spread of sensory blockade (30 min after spinal injection of anesthetic)
- spread of sensory blockade after 1,5 hour
- recovery time from sensory blockade
- time to micturation
- complications
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|May 2006
|Study Completion Date:
|January 2007
The purpose of the trial is to compare two local anesthetics, articaine and bupivacaine for outpatient lower limb surgery.
Faster onset and shorter elimination time favours a short-acting local anaesthetic for spinal anesthesia for out-patient lower limb surgery, e.g. knee arthroscopy, foot and varices surgery. Patients will recover faster and less complications will be expected.
Articaine is said to act faster and shorter than a low dose of bupivacaine. There are not enough data available to establish that articaine is as safe as and more effective by outpatient lower limb surgery than bupivacaine.
Spinal anesthesia with articaine will be compared to spinal anesthesia with bupivacaine in a randomized double blind clinical trial.
Endpoints are:
- onset of sensory and motor block
- maximum spread of sensory level
- recovery from sensory and motor block
- time to micturition
- complications
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 70 Years
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age between 18 and 70 years
- Patients planned for an outpatient lower limb surgery
- Procedure under spinal anesthesia
- Informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Contra-indications spinal anesthesia

Lexington County, SC (WLTX) - The Lexington County Sheriff's department has arrested a man on burglary charges after finding four boats and trailers and other items that had been reported stolen.
Charles Heyward Spires Jr, 26, of Lexington has been charged with second-degree burglary, grand larceny and receiving stolen goods. He was also served with a family court bench warrant for failing to make court-ordered child support payments.
According to deputies, earlier this month Spires stole a 42-inch flat-screen, two electric guitars, an acoustic guitar and tried to sell the items at a pawn shop and music store. The warrant also states that he stole a 19-foot fishing boat and trailer, U-Haul car hauler, Traveler fishing boat, War Eagle fishing boat, Stingray fishing boat and boat trailers that had all been reported stolen.
The combined total of stolen items was over $54,000.
Detectives found a set of Spire's keys to his truck on one of the trailers that detectives recovered in woods. Witnesses identified Spires as the man who placed the stolen items in the woods.
Sheriff's department fugitive investigators arrested Spires at a motel near West Columbia. He is being held on bail totaling $32,130.
Sheriff Metts asks that anyone with information about criminal activity involving Spires to contact CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

The Columbian's late owner and publisher, Don Campbell, originated the People In Need Program in 1979. He felt The Columbian, with its broad readership and spirit of community outreach, should be a positive force in helping the less fortunate in Clark County. Today, third generation owners, Scott and Jody Campbell, believe in the same founding principles of the program. Donations to The Columbian's People In Need Fund are distributed to the local non-profits serving the urgent needs of children and families throughout Clark County, including The Salvation Army's Adopt A Family program during the holidays.
You can make a difference in our community several ways:
1. Send a tax-deductible donation to: The Columbian People In Need Fund c/o The Community Foundation 610 Esther Street, Suite 201, Vancouver, WA, 98660. Please make checks out to Columbian People In Need Fund.
2. Visit the Community Foundation web site to make a donation by clicking here.
All proceeds from your donation will benefit children and families in need throughout Clark County. You will receive a receipt from The Community Foundation for your contribution.
Single parent families. Grandparents raising grandchildren. Mothers laid off. Fathers looking for work. No money. No food. Everyone is hungry. Thousands of Clark County residents are barely able to afford the bare necessities, let alone gifts for their children during the holidays. Can you help a needy family celebrate the spirit of the holiday season?
3. Drop off your donation of toys for children, gifts for teens or gift baskets for a family at:
The Salvation Army
1500 NE 112th Avenue
Vancouver, WA 98684
4. Adopt a Family in need this holiday season by contacting The Salvation Army: 360-448-2880 or visit www.vancouver.salvationarmynw.org.
1. A single mother with limited income living with another relative on disability asks for a My Little Pony or My Generation doll for an 8-year-old daughter. Mom's limited income won't cover Christmas gifts this year, as she depends on food stamps just to provide meals.
2. A single father raising a 2-year-old boy recently found lodging after living homeless for a period of time, and hopes the community can help provide gifts for his little one. Dad is working with family services to improve his situation, and has found work but cannot drive until he can renew his license. The two live on $385 a month.
3. The parents of 5 children in this family recently moved here, and while Mom has found three jobs paying a total of $1,300 a month, there isn't enough for Christmas purchases. The children include three boys: two aged 6-years-old, and one 8-year-old, as well as two girls aged 4- and 5-years-old.
4. A Mom with a $700-per -month income is raising three youngsters who could use some gifts from the community this Christmas. Escaping a domestic violence situation, Mom is working in a public program to "regain stability" in her life. The children include two boys aged 1 and 6, and a 4-year-old girl.
5. Being single, Mom is finding raising four children a challenge as she starts a new job. She lost their housing this fall, and they're living with her mother as she seeks affordable lodging and to start rebuilding her career, looking to establish more stability for the family, she says. To help out, some support from the community this Christmas would be helpful in the form of gifts for a 14-year-old boy, his 8-year-old brother, and a 6-year-old sister. A 16-year-old daughter also lives in the household which strives to sustain on less than $1,000 a month.
6. With three little boys to raise as a single mother, this recently-employed woman is looking for new lodging as she lives with her parents temporarily. Gifts for the boys, aged 6, 4 and 1, would be uplifting as she struggles to get back on her feet with a $1,300 monthly income.
7. A single mother who moved here to escape a domestic violence environment is trying to build a new life for her and a 2-year-old boy who would smile at finding some gifts under the tree this Christmas. Homeless for some time recently, she was able to find housing through the Salvation Army. Still, she receives only partial support for her little one.
8. Dad suffers from chronic leg pain, leaving Mom as the prime breadwinner in this home which includes four children. Homeless for some time this year, and now living indoors with the help of the Salvation Army, they remain hard pressed to find enough income to provide for them all. Children include two boys aged 3- and 11-years-old, and two daughters aged 8- and 13-years-old.
9. Both parents in this family with two little girls are unemployed, with their last job more than half a year ago. As they seek work, their public support funds of just over $1,200 a month make it hard to make ends meet, and Christmas present purchases are not possible. An 18-month-old could use some wood baby puzzles, socks and shoes. A 5-year-old hopes for Princess toys, and could also use socks and shoes.
10. There just isn't enough left at the end of each month after paying the bills and buying gas to pay for Christmas presents, says the student Mom in this home she and her husband share with their 8-year-old boy. Working and going to school to try to improve their financial situation. While Dad works at a poor-paying job, she is in school full time. Some gifts from the community would help for the little one, who likes Skylanders toys and Legos, and needs some clothing.
11. A single mother with three little ones escaped a domestic violence situation and found some temporary housing as she seeks more permanent living conditions and finds a job. Housing has been temporary for several months for Mom, who hopes to return to school to improve her job outlook, says some help this Christmas would be appreciated for a 3-year-old who likes Play dough, a 5-year-old boy who likes Legos and needs a winter jacket, an 11-year-old sister who hopes for art supplies.
12. A couple with a 6-year-old girl is working, but income is so low they are having trouble keeping up with bills. With a new baby girl due near Christmas, they could use some help for this holiday to provide gifts for the newborn and their youngster.
13. Homeless until recently, a single mother and her two teen daughters need some Christmas assistance. Mom just began working again and is in housing, but an income of just over $1,200 doesn't leave much for presents after bills are paid. The girls, 15- and 17-years-old, are both students. There is a history of mental health problems in this household.
14. Dad, suffering from a serious terminal illness, no longer supports this household of a mother and three young boys. While Mom works, there are demands on her with the learning disabilities in some of the children. To help this low-income mother give her boys a nice Christmas this year, some presents for the 8-, 11- and 14-year-old would be appreciated.
15. Extreme difficulties plague this mother, father and their five children. Dad suffers from a very serious disorder and Mom was just laid off. Income for this family is practically nil as they struggle without electricity and lack the next rent payment. A helping hand would be kind for the children which include four boys aged 5, 8, 9 and 11 and a 14-year-old daughter.
16. Mom is not working as she undergoes testing for a very serious illness in this household with a limited income of $2,700 per month. The family includes an adult male, a 16-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy.
17. Just now this mother and her two children have found permanent lodging after moving from residence to residence this year. With just over $2,000 income per month, they need some help for Christmas gifts for a 12-year-old boy and 15-year-old girl.
18. A single father with two little boys is not working and is living on about $1,100 a month and some food stamps. To help out, some Christmas gifts would be welcome for the 5- and 8-year-old boys this Christmas.
19. A single mother with a 6-year-old boy is struggling to make ends meet this Christmas after she finally moved into what she calls "safe" housing earlier in 2014. Needs include some raingear for Mom and a winter coat, shoes and boots for the little one.
20. Behind on bills and rent, a young mother and father are starting to get on their feet as he now works, but money is tight for Christmas presents for a 1-year-old boy and his 5-year-old sister. Mom hopes to get into school to help improve the family's financial outlook, but hopes for some assistance to give the children a nice gift or two this year.
21. Dad lost his main employment this year and struggles with a part-time job. A 16-year-old girl in this home brings in about $700 a month in assistance money, but the total for the month in this home is under $1,000. Two children, a 9-year girl and a 6-year-old boy, would smile as they find some Christmas gifts under the tree this year.
22. A single mother of a 14-year-old boy has found a job but hours are being cut drastically, reducing her overall household income to less than $1,200 a month this season. To help out, some Christmas gifts would bring needed joy to this small family.
23. Mom had to quit working this year to care for a son who is ill in this family which includes two other boys. She receives some public benefits but says there is nothing left over after paying the bills for Christmas presents. The three boys, aged 5-, 8-, and 13-years-old, can have a nice present or two this Christmas if this family is adopted.
24. A mother of a 12-year-old boy who also has custody of an 11-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl — a nephew and a niece — suffers from a disability and cannot work. Trying to get by on about $2,200 a month, there's little left after paying the bills. She asks for some Christmas assistance from the community this year for a few presents for the children.
25. A mother caring for 3- and 6-year-old boys, one who suffers from autism, just obtained lodging after remaining homeless and used all of her resources to move into the new residence. With an income of only $950 a month, and a 16-year-old girl in the residence for which she is also responsible, she hopes for a helping hand this Christmas.
26. The adult male in this home just lost his job and is looking for work as the Mom tries to keep things paid for with a job of varying income. This household, with about $1,500 a month income, includes three children: two boys aged 2 and 9, and a 3-year-old girl. There is no money to buy Christmas presents this year, and the adults hope for some community help.
27. With a new baby girl in the home of two adults with a 9-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy also in their care, this family living in temporary quarters as the threat of property foreclosure looms, hopes for some assistance this Christmas. Neither of the grown-ups work and finances are dismal.
28. Mom and her 11-year-old daughter are living with a friend until she can afford a place of their own. Dad is missing from this family, and sends no child support, leaving her to live on just over $750 a month. She asks for a helping hand from the community to give her little girl a few Christmas presents this year.
29. Some warm clothing and laundry products would help this family of five struggling to make ends meet as Dad's reduced income in his construction job provides work for only one week out of each month at this time of year. There is only about $1,000 coming in for the family, which includes two little girls aged 3 and 7, and a 9-year-old boy.
30. Mom was severely injured on the job earlier this year, making it hard for her to find work. An adult male in the residence helps with the three children and brings in a limited income to help, but overall available cash is only $1,200 a month, which must be stretched to pay the bills as she awaits workman's compensation for her accident. Meanwhile, they ask for some help to provide a nice Christmas for three boys aged 6, 10 and 14.
31. Mom and Dad separated last year, leaving her a single parent with three little ones in her care, and only a limited amount of public assistance for income. She plans to start school this season to try to improve her chances of finding work. The children in this family include two girls aged 4 and 10, and their 7-year-old brother.
32. The adult male in this home recently went through a job change and brings in a reduced income as this family including Mom and two little children struggles to pay rent and bills — some which go unpaid. The children, a 4-year-old girl and 3-year-old boy, need some assistance to provide Christmas presents this year since Mom says there is no money for the holidays.
33. The adult male in this home has experienced an income reduction since his landscaping job is reduced for the winter, and Mom recently lost her job. As a result, they moved into a smaller residence while it remains difficult to keep up with the bills. A 5-year-old boy, who suffers from asthma and needs treatments, and a 3-year-old girl could use some help with Christmas presents this year.
34. A single mother of three children is on unpaid medical leave and will not be able to return to her job until early in 2015, leaving her with less than $600 a month to meet expenses. To help out, some presents would be nice for two girls aged 6 and 10, and a 12-year-old boy.
35. A single mother with two girls says things are tough and getting tougher as her state assistance has reached its limit and she needs help for mental health concerns in this family. "Things are getting very difficult," she says. To help out, the girls, aged 2 and 15, would be happy with a few Christmas presents this year if the family is adopted.
36. Three small children and a 15-year-old boy live with Mom in a household struggling financially as she recently lost her job and is not on public assistance. The children include two boys aged 9 and 11, and a 12-year-old girl. Another adult woman also lives in this home, which needs some community assistance this year for Christmas presents.
37. Some basic household items are needed by a single mother with four children who gets no child support from a husband under restraining order. She attends school in an effort to improve her job outlook, but lives on a $560 public assistance allowance each month. Recently homeless, this family needs some help from a caring community for the children, including three girls aged 6, 10, 11 and a 9-year-old boy. Some toiletries and school supplies are requested.
38. Mom and Dad are looking for work, but when they purchased a car to look for jobs, a tree fell on the vehicle, disabling it and making their job hunt more difficult. With severely restricted income in this family, some help would bring smiles for Christmas presents this year for a 3-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother.
39. Dad brings home $2,500 a month but Mom's work income is limited to $365 since she suffers from chronic health problems which restrict the number of hours she can be on the job. This family of five includes two boys aged 8 and 10, and a 5-year-old girl. Some help to provide Christmas presents for this struggling family would bring cheer to this household.
40. Vehicle problems and limited income make it difficult for this father to provide a nice Christmas for his household which includes Mom and three daughters. Between them, the overall for this family is about $2,000 a month. There is a need for surgery for the lady in the home, meaning she will be on limited income sick leave over the holidays. The couple asks for some help to provide Christmas presents for three girls aged 3, 9 and 10.

EV 8.0 SP3 upgrade database from SQL2005 to SQL2008
I have installed EV 8 SP3 with SQL 2005 before.
Would someone do such upgrade database from SQL 2005 to SQL 2008.
I check symantec web info. EV 8.0 SP3 have support SQL 2008 reporting but not have such later upgrade database procedure .
Would someone could provide procedure to me or web link, please ? Anything need to notify ?
Comments 2 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Firstly SQL 2008 is supported as you say. It most however be SQL 2008 SP1 64 bit as per compatibility guide and note the following to pints.
g. Enterprise Vault Reporting is supported, except for: Vault Store Usage Summary, Vault Store Usage by Archive,
and Vault Store Usage by Billing Account.
h. Requires Enterprise Vault 8.0 SP2 or later service pack.
With regards a direct upgrade path this really depends on SQL rather than Enterprise Vault. For example if you are running SQL 2005 32 bit I dont believe you can then directly upgrade to SQL 2008 SP1 64Bit. MS resources will answer your queries in regards upgrade paths.
In regards Enterprise Vault I would ensure that you have a good backup of EV Environment before undertaking this work, then depending on if you can perform an in place upgrade or not will determine the next steps. I.E. If you are moving to new hardware than the databases will need to be migrated and permissins set up for EV as required. If the server has a new name etc then changes will need to be made to Enterprise Vault to reflect this. The following technote should assist.
Hope this helps.

AnnaHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairGood Product!This conditioner is great for silky smooth hair! It is a little heavy and can cause your hair to fall out if used in large amounts, or at the scalp. I tried using this with the shampoo, but the shampoo caused my hair to fall out like crazy! Instead, I used it with the sulfate free shampoo and it was perfect!!

What a wild and wacky weekend it was in Major League Soccer as RSL fell at Chivas USA while LA and Seattle rolled on. Here's a look at the playoff picture with just three weeks left:
1. Seattle Sounders FC
60 points(+14 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 4-1 win at Colorado - Next match: 1/10 vs Vancouver - Last 5: W-W-L-L-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
The Sounders won their second straight, throttling a hapless Colorado Rapids team that hasn't won in quite a long time. Seattle ends the season with three toughies, starting with Vancouver this weekend and two games against Los Angeles.
2. LA Galaxy
60 points(+35 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 3-0 win vs Toronto FC - Next match: 10/12 at FC Dallas - Last 5: W-W-W-D-D
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
Los Angeles rolled along again last weekend beating Toronto FC handily at the StubHub Center. There's no doubt the Galaxy are incredibly formidable at home, but they'll have two tough road tests to end the year with FCD and Seattle. They'll play this weekend at FCD without at least Robbie Keane and Marcelo Sarvas while Omar Gonzalez is also a question mark.
3. Real Salt Lake
49 points(+11 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 1-0 loss at Chivas USA - Next match: 10/11 vs San Jose - Last 5: L-L-W-L-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
Is it time to panic in Sandy, Utah? A shock 1-0 loss at Chivas USA has Jeff Cassar's side on a bit of a dip. A win against Chivas would've propeled RSL into an almost insurmountable lead for the 3rd place spot, but now things are wide open especially considering RSL will be missing five players on international duty this week.
4. FC Dallas
48 points(+10 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 2-0 loss at Vancouver Whitecaps - Next match: 10/12 vs Los Angeles - Last 5: L-W-L-W-L
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 99.5%
It wasn't a good weekend for Dallas who not only lost by a two-goal margin for just the second time this season, but saw Portland come back to win in San Jose nixing any playoff clinching hopes. However, the last three games are all manageable for Dallas with two home games and a road game at Colorado. Three wins could see Dallas jump into third place. They'll clinch with a Portland loss on Wednesday or a win on Sunday against Los Angeles.
5. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
43 points(+0 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 2-0 win vs FCD - Next match: 10/10 at Seattle - Last 5: W-W-L-L-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 53.5%
Another HUGE home win for Vancouver against FCD to keep pace for the fifth and final playoff spot, but the Whitecaps aren't even remotely out of the woods. Two road games out of three remaining for Vancouver who has been poor on the road this season. Still, they're in with a shot.
6. Portland Timbers FC
42 points(+4 GD) - 3 games remaining - Last match: 2-1 win at San Jose - Next match: 10/8 vs San Jose - Last 5: W-L-W-D-D
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 47.0%
A gift from the heavens brought Portland back from the brink of elimination, coming from 1-0 down to win 2-1 at San Jose. They'll face the Quakes again tonight and desperately need to put their home woes behind themselves with a win as their last two matches are against RSL and FCD.
FC Dallas will clinch a 2014 MLS Cup Playoff Spot if:
-Portland loses to San Jose on Wednesday
-FC Dallas defeats LA Galaxy on Sunday
-Portland ties San Jose on Wednesday & FC Dallas ties or defeats LA Galaxy on Sunday
FC Dallas will clinch at least fourth place and a home playoff game if:
Vancouver loses or draws at Seattle on Friday and FC Dallas wins or draws against LA Galaxy
If there were no games left and we were looking forward to the start of the playoffs, here are the current matchups:
Vancouver Whitecaps FC at FC Dallas
Seattle Sounders FC vs FC Dallas/Vancouver Whitecaps FC
LA Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake
It was back to work for the FC Dallas Academy as they took the trip down I-45 to take on Texas Rush in a full set of weekend games on Sunday from U-18 all the way down to U-13. Here's a recap of the action(Stay tuned for our FCDTV Academy Update later this week talking to coaches and players about the games):
Texas Rush U-18: 1
The U-18s moved to 3-0-0 on the season with 5-1 win over Texas Rush. Homegrown signing Coy Craft joined the U-18s for his first game of the season scoring a hat trick in the win. Caleb Young added two goals to take his tally to three on the young season.
Texas Rush U-16: 0
Giovanni Montesedoca scored twice while Devin Vega, Toshiki Yasuda & Isaac Albaradei also tallied goals in the first shutout of the season for the U-16s who are 3-0-0.
The FCD U-16s head to Kansas City this weekend for the first round of Generation adidas Cup qualifying where they'll play Houston Dynamo & Chicago Fire.
Texas Rush U-15: 0
The U-15's moved to 2-0-0 on the season with a 5-0 win over Texas Rush. Abelardo Escalante, Jommar Reyez, Mandel Steward, Alonzo Molina and Carlos Garcia scored in the victory.
Texas Rush U-14: 2
The U-14s fell to Texas Rush 2-0, with goals scored in either half.
Texas Rush U-13: 2
Bryan Reynolds and Johan Gomez scored for the U-13's in their first win of the season over Texas Rush.

The MLS season is a marathon, but we've reached the sprint. Just four games are left in the 2014 regular season and things are beginning to define themselves in the Western Conference. Let's take a look at the playoff race with a month to play.
1. Seattle Sounders FC
57 points(+11 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 4-2 win vs Chivas USA - Next match: 9/5 at Colorado - Last 5: W-L-L-W-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
After falling to FCD, the Sounders received a scare against Chivas USA, but ended up getting the home win to stay at the top of the league on goal differential. They face a tricky trip to Colorado this weekend and, should they not win, could relinquish the top spot for the rest of the season.
2. LA Galaxy
57 points(+32 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 4-0 win vs New York - Next match: 10/4 vs Toronto FC - Last 5: W-W-D-D-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
The Galaxy have a relatively straight-forward match at home against Toronto FC this weekend, but their challenges await. A final three matches at FCD, vs Seattle and at Seattle will test whether LA is truly the class of the league like many think they are.
3. Real Salt Lake
49 points(+12 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 2-1 loss at Vancouver - Next match: 10/5 at Chivas USA - Last 5: L-W-L-W-D
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 100%
It's been very up and down for RSL over the last month with two wins, two losses and a draw. They've won against the teams they should and lost their tough games, but it makes you wonder if they can win the road games they'll need to that would earn passage in a playoff series. Two games against Chivas USA in their last four, however, will provide some valuable points.
4. FC Dallas
48 points(+12 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 3-1 win vs Seattle Sounders FC - Next match: 10/4 at Vancouver - Last 5: W-L-W-L-L
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 99.9%
A win over Seattle allayed any fears that FCD won't finish top four in the Western Conference and there is still a chance to finish top three but FCD likely needs 10 points from their last four games which is certainly possible. A playoff spot and at least fourth place can be guaranteed with a win this weekend.
5. Vancouver Whitecaps FC
40 points(-2 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 2-1 win vs RSL - Next match: 10/4 vs FC Dallas - Last 5: W-L-L-W-D
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 53.6%
Vancouver leads Portland by the slimmest of margins and every game is absolutely vital for them from here on out. They really need three points against Dallas to keep realistic playoff hopes alive as they've got two tough road games at Seattle and San Jose awaiting them after this weekend before returning home to close the season against Colorado.
6. Portland Timbers FC
39 points(+3 GD) - 4 games remaining - Last match: 3-2 loss at TFC - Next match: 9/4 at San Jose - Last 5: L-W-D-D-W
Playoff chances according to Sports Club Stats: 45.5%
Ouch. Up 2-0 at Toronto, the Timbers let all the points slip away and lost Will Johnson for the season with a broken leg. If they fail to make the playoffs, it's that result, along with the home draw against San Jose that they'll look back and regret. Still, the Timbers have two games next back-to-back against San Jose that they need to get six points from before closing the season against RSL and FCD. If they can get to 45 points, there's certainly a good chance of the fifth spot.
If there were no games left and we were looking forward to the start of the playoffs, here are the current matchups:
Vancouver Whitecaps FC at FC Dallas
Seattle Sounders FC vs FC Dallas/Vancouver Whitecaps FC
LA Galaxy vs Real Salt Lake

I am happy to hold my first hearing as chairman of this subcommittee on such an important issue. To borrow a phrase from that great American, Yogi Berra, "It's Deja Vu all over again." A little more than three years ago, we began a series of hearings in the Banking Committee which led to the creation of the Year 2000 Committee.
Our inquiry at that time focused on a mysterious programming flaw called the Year 2000 Bug. We quickly realized the implications of the issue we were examining reached far beyond the financial services sector. That is why for today's hearing I have asked the GAO to look into how the government reacted to this most recent virus, the Love Bug.
I want to begin to lay the foundation for a series of hearings on the subject of coordinated critical infrastructure protection in the financial services area over the remainder of this Congress. The GAO interviewed 20 different agencies and has discovered that the virus caused real, tangible problems for the federal government. Eight of the 20 agencies experienced computer problems which lasted more than one day. The GAO will tell us how one federal agency lost connections to the Internet and its e-mail service for up to six days and a critical government agency involved with public health stated that it would not have been able to coordinate an emergency response in case of a biological incident. These agencies spent literally thousands of hours fixing their systems.
Now let's look specifically at the three unique features of the "I Love You" virus. One, it targeted Microsoft Outlook users and propagated itself to everyone on the program user's address book. Two, it deleted picture and sound files and attempted to steal the computer's passwords. Three, it used a "worm" to occupy unused system capacity, thereby crashing servers in corporations around the globe. The thing that should make all of us sit-up and take notice is that if this virus had targeted Microsoft Excel or Lotus spreadsheets, it could have wrought massive devastation on the financial services industry.
The effect of the "I Love You" virus on the financial services industry and its regulators is a microcosm of the impact it has had on the economy as a whole.
Within the last few years we have witnessed increasingly more severe cyber-attacks. Each new virus is to be an integral part of an evolutionary process which seems to forewarn of the attacks yet to come. Each mutation is faster, stronger, and more sophisticated than its predecessor. Some of the hackers with whom my staff has communicated express extreme contempt for those who have spread these viruses, describing them as "unimaginative" and "simplistic." Ladies and gentlemen, the implications of that are quite frightening.
The "I Love You" virus demonstrates several weaknesses in our government's ability to detect and respond to fast-moving cyber events in a coordinated and efficient manner. I have been asking the questions for sometime now about what happens when our borders disappear. What does it mean to function in a borderless economy? The Virus illustrates that global boundaries are disappearing for commerce; oceans still separate one federal agency from another. The "I Love You" virus should occasion a careful review of out national capabilities. It is important that these weaknesses be addressed now in order to reduce future risks.
With worldwide estimates ranging from $950 million to $15 billion for the "I Love You" virus, the concept, that these viruses were less virulent than "those in the know" expected them to be, concerns me greatly. With this evidence mounting, do we have a national capacity to provide early warnings of coordinated cyber-attacks and if so how well does it work? What does this mean for the government and our economy as a whole?
The private sector seems to be beginning to do its job. Microsoft has announced that it will provide a patch to its Microsoft Outlook 1998 program, which was the target of the "I Love You" virus, and its Office 2000 products. The pendulum is beginning to swing the market in the direction of greater safety. Microsoft has recognized that it must reassess the balance between the user-friendliness of its products and their security. Regrettably, due to a very important scheduling conflict, no representative from Microsoft was able to join us today.
As was the case with the Year 2000 problem, the ultimate responsibility for security rests with the CEO of the corporation. And make no mistake, particularly in the financial services industry, the customer will act quickly to punish an institution that has lost his or her faith. While many companies see system security as an unproductive investment, basic computer security drops straight down to the bottom line. The good news, however, is that the private financial services ISAC (Information Sharing and Analysis Center) had the earliest US warning and analysis of the "I Love You" virus. It is clear that the government can learn something from the private sector.
One of the most confounding facts about viruses is that in many countries no legal barriers exist to prohibit their creation or release. In the case of the "I Love You" virus, the Philippine school which Onel de Guzman attended reprimanded him for his thesis–calling it illegal–but, in fact, it was not illegal according to the local laws. There is a void in the legal systems of many countries which leaves computer vandals free to go about their destructive business, without fear of legal recourse. The Internet is a ripe target for these individuals because its very structure requires the absence of barriers which normally limit criminal enterprise. As these young people see pictures of other hackers splashed across the front pages of national newspapers it feeds a frenzy. Some of these hackers are elevated to cult figure status; urban legends spring up around them and their deeds.
Until laws are created and enforced internationally which make computer vandals liable for their misdeeds, the only absolute protection from their misdeeds is a pair of wire clippers and a resignation to living in another era.

User:Oarabile Mudongo
As a vivid star i feel much honoured to have had a chance to participate in Setswana Wikipedia Challenge sponsored by Google hosted in the [Republic Of Botswana].My name is Oarabile Mudongo a citizen of Botswana.I pursue my Bachelor_of_Computer_Science with Botho University majoring in Network_engineering_Linux.
I have been contributing to wikipedia since the embarkment of Setswana Wikipedia Challenge till present. Through my contributions in Wikipedia i have edited, translated and wrote many articles in the native language and still have many more errands pending related to Wikimedia projects.This is one of the articles i have known Setswana at first when i entered the challenge. Firstly our wikipedia page had only ten articles written in Setswana but after the challenge many people contributed to the increase number of articles leading upto 500 articles.I absolutely belive in the power of sharing and free access to knowledge for free,it is therefore that my passion for content generation is still upo to this far with Wikimedia movement.As a contestant of the Setswana Wikipedia challenge i emerged the top winner in all the Universities that took part in this challenge in Botswana and as shown in the statistics here Statistics of the Setswana Wikipedia Challenge i was rated the top Wikipedian of the Year locally.Last but not least Google organised a Prize Giving Ceremony for all Participants and the Jury team of the challenge in a form of an award ceremony gazed by many inclusive of the Director of Botho University,as a way of thanking us for the massive work done by Batswana students in improving Wikipedia articles in Setswana. As a grand price winner i was awarded a good number of gifts including Net-books,Android phones etc as i was the top contributor in the Setswana wikipedia Challange.
As a Volunteer Wikipedia Liaison i am as well the founding member of a Wikimedia User group which works in line with the foundation's mission to help generate more content in Setswana Language.There are almost 53 Wikimedia chapters world wide and having only two Wikimedia Chapters in Africa being Wikimedia South_Africa and wiki/Wikimedia_Kenya.Facing all the great challenge we suppose that through motivations from existing chapters we shall keep going to archieve all the set goals to benefit all Batswana and even link up with fellows from South_Africa and Kenya to Activate Africa at large.I entirely focus much into activating African contries and engaging all people to the open movement and develop a reputable encyclopedia to promote open access to free knowledge.
Since i have joined Wikimedia Movement i have participated in quiet a number of projects and meetups inclusive of major conferences such a Wikimania conference, Last year i took part in Wikimania 2012 held up in USA, Washington Dc and also this year i participated in Wikimania 2013 which was held in Hong Kong, Kwoloon. I am looking forward to being a great contributor for the entire movement and hopefuly with set initiatives we are keen to mobilize Wikipedia in Botswana through any partnerships with local organizations to bring local content to people freely.

The Mentalist: Red John's Friends
Finally, an episode of The Mentalist with a significant amount of story arc. We really got to see Jane's lust for revenge in this one, and the lengths he would go just to get a bit closer to finding out who Red John is.
The Mentalist jumped out of its formula slightly this week, and it worked for me. We learned some new things about Jane, Red John and the team, and even though it could have been an extremely dark episode, it was just dark enough to get the point across while still being entertaining.
He comes off as a guy who plays by the rules, but when push came to shove, he proved that he believed in his team. He gave them the time they needed to help Jane find the real killer of Undine and free Jared Renfro. Sure, he let Jane quit (I wonder if he actually would have fired him), but he redeemed himself in the end. Plus, we got a great scene -- the team's "gross insubordination" -- and a great quote out of Minelli's actions:
"You should put a flashlight underneath your chin just to complete the effect." -- Lisbon to Minelli, as he tries to scare her into believing she's putting her career on the line for JaneThe Team
We've watched the team bond throughout the season, and the fact that they were willing to be suspended to help Jane was notable. When they were waiting for the call from the would-be blackmail-ee, they were all waiting quietly and still, except for Rigsby playing the Rubik's cube. A small detail like this is so telling about his personality, and about the quality of the writing and directing team we've got here, too.
Did we really learn much new about Jane? He's so purposely guarded that I cannot imagine we'll find out a whole lot more about him in just one episode. However, we did get some classic Jane:
- He tried to get the police to believe that he was the homeowner, and got Muriel to publicly reprimand her son, Gardner, in the process. Take that, oh smarmy one!
- While waiting for Mariska, the victim's mother, to answer the door, Jane puts Lisbon on the spot and tells her she needs to do the talking. In his defense, Jane does bail her out when she completely bombs. Funny stuff.
- We find out later that Jane figured out the locked door problem on his first visit to the murder scene. Fun "party trick."
- Nailed it! Love how Jane completely pegged Renfro's Mexico location through observation and intuition.
And really, what's with the evil laugh at the end of the episode? I know I was supposed to find Red John simply chilling, but it seemed a little cliche to me. If Red John is really so far ahead of Jane in the game, couldn't he have thought of something clever to say?
OK, just one funny anecdote with perhaps a slight prediction as to who Red John may be. I was unsure as to what was actually written in blood, which I think was intentional. They want it to be cryptic; after all, this is a series arc, not a season arc.
My husband grabbed a screenshot for me and popped it into my dropbox, and when I went to retrieve it, I asked him why he named it Mentalist_heisman -- not "he is man," but "Heisman," like a name. I totally missed that, but now I'm wondering if Red John's name is Heisman or if someone with the name Heisman will help Jane find a new clue.
Do I have something there, or should I just go to bed earlier?
