|Stereotactic body radiotherapy for oligometastases.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23276369 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The management of metastatic solid tumours has historically focused on systemic treatment given with palliative intent. However, radical surgical treatment of oligometastases is now common practice in some settings. The development of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), building on improvements in delivery achieved by intensity-modulated and image-guided radiotherapy, now allows delivery of ablative doses of radiation to extracranial sites. Many non-randomised studies have shown that SBRT for oligometastases is safe and effective, with local control rates of about 80%. Importantly, these studies also suggest that the natural history of the disease is changing, with 2-5 year progression-free survival of about 20%. Although complete cure might be possible in a few patients with oligometastases, the aim of SBRT in this setting is to achieve local control and delay progression, and thereby also postpone the need for further treatment. We review published work showing that SBRT offers durable local control and the potential for progression-free survival in non-liver, non-lung oligometastatic disease at a range of sites. However, to test whether SBRT really does improve progression-free survival, randomised trials will be essential.

Green Bay Packers linebacker Frank Zombo, right, wraps up St. Louis Rams' Steven Jackson during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game at Lambeau Field.
The Green Bay Packers couldn't have been much more pleased with how the rotation worked at right outside linebacker last Sunday against St. Louis.
In his first regular-season action of the season, Frank Zombo alternated series with Erik Walden, and the two combined for nine tackles and a quarterback hit.
Just as quickly as it began, the platoon system was back on hold because of another injury to Zombo. He missed the first five games of the season because of the broken scapula he sustained on Aug. 19, and he already has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Minnesota because he hyper-extended a knee ...

You have ask yourself whether you were ready for the experience, and what did you learn? Being an NHL player is kind of neat, but are you prepared to take the next step in your career? How serious are you?
You don't have to be around him for more that a few moments to learn Logan Couture has taken everything very seriously since he has joined the San Jose Sharks.
"The first thing I noticed about NHL players is that I had to get stronger. I was no longer playing every night against kids -- it was a game against men," said Couture, who played in 25 regular-season games plus another 15 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. "I had to be smarter, more mature, in every way I prepared for the game."
That preparation has paid off in a big way this season.
Couture enters Thursday's games fourth in the League with 18 goals and first among rookies with 25 points.
""I still feel like a rookie. I'm still learning the League. I'm still young and I'm learning all the stuff that comes along with being a rookie. I'd be lying if I would have said I'd have this many goals at his at this point in the season, but I've always been confident in the way I can play." -- Logan Couture
Coach Todd McLellan quickly has learned that the 21-year-old center from Guelph, Ont., picks things up very easily.
He has played on all three top lines and has made an impact on each one. Couture's 18 goals lead the team, putting him ahead of All-Stars Patrick Marleau, Dany Heatley and Joe Thornton.
"A lot of times there's veteran players that can get the young guys wound up," McLellan said. "Sometimes there's youth that can come in and inject a little fire into some of the older players, and I think (Couture) has done that.
"He works to stay around the puck all the time. He's able to play in traffic situations. He's figured out there's a special spot to go on the ice to score goals."
The confidence Couture gained by performing in the playoffs last spring certainly helped him. He is playing stronger on his skates and has added a touch of hunger to his game. His passion and desire come through each and every shift each night.
And even as a rookie he can be counted on to play all the tough minutes -- killing penalties, taking important faceoffs or marking an opponent.
In 2007, Couture's draft year, a scout told me: "He reminds me of a Bobby Clarke. He's gritty. He's in your face. He's just a good, solid player."
That's high praise indeed. Others also heap praise on Couture.
Said Sharks captain Joe Thornton: "I think he likes playing on the second line -- fits there comfortably, too. He's a confident kid. Doesn't seem like nothing really fazes him."
Part of that inner strength comes from Chet and Lori Couture -- who continued to take 3-year-old Logan out to stake, even though he cried all the way home.
"My dad always said, 'Have fun at the game. If you don't have fun, you shouldn't be playing,'" Couture said.
Couture family shadows are lengthy in both hockey and lacrosse.
Chet Lemon, Logan's grandfather, is a member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. His father played hockey and refereed lacrosse for 13 years. His uncle, Brian, also spent time playing lacrosse, and another uncle, Bob, was a famous softball pitcher. Chet Couture is a firefighter, and his mother, Lori, a graduate of Brock University, is a physical education teacher. Logan grew up a fan of the Buffalo Sabres, including goaltender Dominik Hasek and forward Pat LaFontaine.
That varied background forced Logan to grow up a strong-willed, mentally strong young man.
"I know what I expect out of myself," said Couture. "That's what I care about. I don't care what other people expect from me."
The Sharks traditionally have drafted on the basis of character first; Couture oozes that. In fact, San Jose moved up from No. 13 to ninth in the first round in 2007 to pick Logan.
Obstacles to overcome? Logan lists many, including mononucleosis in his Draft season, which dropped him in the pre-draft rankings.
"When Logan Couture didn't make the (Canadian) World Junior team, he used that as a motivator," Sharks GM Doug Wilson said. "He dominated the AHL. He's a young player that has earned his ice time.
The Sharks have become masters at identifying players they believe fit best in their system and then find a way to secure the identified players.
"I'd rather leave the draft floor with two or three players that we had identified as our type of player rather than six or seven maybes," said Wilson. "The toughest part of this business is evaluating 18-year-old kids from very diverse backgrounds and making a conviction on the kids.
"That's where the trust factor fits. And (Director of Scouting) Tim Burke and our staff definitely have my trust. If they say they want a player, it's my job to find a way to get him."
The best advice Couture has gotten came from his junior coach, Brian Kilrea of the Ottawa 67s, who recalls, "Personally, I'd take a team of Logan Coutures. He never puts himself first. It's all about the team with him."
Skating was the major concern for scouts who downgraded Couture, so Kilrea recommended a power-skating guru to improve that part of his game.
"I have to work on my overall stride," said Couture. "I'm going work on my starts, crossovers."
There's the drive to be better that comes out in every conversation about Logan Couture. The bar seems to get higher and higher with every game he plays.

Nubia covers an area stretching along the Nile valley from the sixth cataract in the south to the first cataract in the north, which marks the southern border of pharaonic Egypt. The first distinct culture, designated A-Group by modern historians, develops in Lower Nubia between 37002800 B.C. A-Group is eventually ruled by a series of powerful kings, and later driven out by the Egyptians.
ca. 6000?200 B.C. Nubia covers an area stretching along the Nile valley from the sixth cataract in the south to the first cataract in the north, which marks the southern border of pharaonic Egypt. Because no Nubian languages are recorded before about the second century B.C., the cultures of ancient Nubia are known primarily through archaeological remains supplemented by ancient Egyptian textual references to places such as Wawat and Kush, and to peoples such as the Nehesyu and the Medjayu. The names given to the different cultures and cultural phases have been assigned by modern archaeologists and historians.
ca. 37002800 B.C. (A-Group) A distinct culture, designated A-Group, develops in Lower Nubia in an area from the first to second cataract. The A-Group people produce ceramic figurines, decorated pottery vessels, and a very fine, thin-walled ceramic known as eggshell ware. Trade with Egypt is an important aspect of the economy, with artifacts and raw materials from Upper and Lower Nubia traveling north into Egypt and goods of Egyptian manufacture traveling south into Lower Nubia. Beginning as a politically fragmented population governed by local rulers, the A-Group people eventually seem to be ruled by a series of powerful and very prosperous kings (ca. 31002800 B.C.).
ca. 28002200 B.C. The A-Group culture is driven out of Lower Nubia by the Egyptians. During this period, Egypt dominates Nubia between the first and third cataracts, conducting periodic raids into Upper Nubia to the south. Egypt's purpose is to control trade in raw materials and to exploit the rich deposits of stone and gold in the deserts of Lower Nubia. To this end, Egyptian trading and mining settlements are established as early as Egypt's Dynasty 4 (ca. 2500 B.C.).
ca. 25002050 B.C. (Ancient Kerma) As early as 2500 B.C., a united kingdom seems to have developed in Upper Nubia with its capital at the city of Kerma, just south of the third cataract. The kingdom of Kerma, the earliest of the kingdoms of Kush, seems to control the area from the fourth cataract in the south to the rapids of Batn el-Hagar, north of the third cataract. Evidence of the Kerma culture is also found further north in Lower Nubia during Egypt's First Intermediate Period (ca. 21502030 B.C.), when the Egyptians cease to control this area.
ca. 22001500 B.C. (C-Group) As Egyptian power weakens, people known as the C-Group culture (descendants of the A-Group) begin to resettle Lower Nubia. They farm the narrow fertile areas beside the Nile, raise cattle, and trade with the Egyptians during Dynasties 811 (ca. 21501981 B.C.). In Dynasty 12 (ca. 19811802 B.C.), Egypt reestablishes control of Lower Nubia by building a series of forts on either side of the second cataract. These forts are intended primarily to protect Egyptian interests against the powerful Kerma kingdom to the south, but also serve to subjugate the C-Group people, who seem to have alternately lived peacefully with and waged war against their Egyptian overlords. Although much of their material culture is Egyptianized, the C-Group people in Lower Nubia continue to produce distinctive forms of fine decorated pottery.
Medjayu In the late Old Kingdom (ca. 2200 B.C.), Egyptian texts document a warlike people called the Medjayu, who live in the eastern deserts of Upper and Lower Nubia. These nomads have alternately peaceful and hostile relations with the more settled populations along the Nile, both in Nubia and Egypt. Highly valued for their military skills, the Medjayu serve as mercenaries in the Egyptian army and desert police force from the late Old Kingdom. The Medjayu, a nomadic people, have left no identifiable archaeological remains earlier than the second millennium B.C.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Chambersburg Area School District is rolling out an app that will allow students to access learning tools and resources on Apple and Android tablet devices.
The CASD app will eventually be available for all students in grades six through 12 to use, but its introduction will begin at the Career Magnet School to give students "a more personalized solution to iPad learning."
"Every student at the CMS utilizes an iPad for their coursework. Very few textbooks exist at the school. The development of a customized app is a natural fit for the instructional philosophy that exists at CMS," said Chris Bigger, director of curriculum, in a press release.
Use of the app will be integrated into the "flipped classroom" instruction method, in which students use technology outside of the classroom to listen to lectures and explore a topic to prepare to participate in more in-depth discussion and hands-on learning in the classroom.
In addition to learning resources, the app will also give students access to an agenda for assignment organization, alerts on grade changes, news feeds for school and district announcements, as well as direct links to resources such as eBackpack, OverDrive, LibGuids and Performance Tracker, according to Bigger.
"The CASD app can be considered unique when you compare it to other educational apps," he said in the news release. "Most apps focus only on information. Our students will have an opportunity to learn and interact with the app."
The app for students was developed by students; 50 of them participated in a three-day intense focus group session on development of the custom design to meet their needs.
According to CASD, the choice of a custom app solution enables the district to avoid annual fees for delivery and maintenance. It also gives the district flexibility to offer a class in the future in which high school students work to further develop the app, according to Bigger.
"Currently, our business education department is developing a proposed app development curriculum for board approval to offer students during the 2014-15 school year," Bigger said in the release.

In Atlanta I-75 and I-85 merge in the middle of the city to form the Downtown Connector, which carries more than 340,000 vehicles per day and is one of the 10 most congested segments of interstate highway in the United States. Forbes has put the Connector on its infamous national City Choke Points list -- and no one who has to cross Atlanta north to south on a Friday afternoon has any reason to doubt that listing.
Add to it the heavily traveled I-20 and the encircling I-285, known as "the Perimeter," and you find a city among the most notorious in the country for traffic and commuting. The Weather Channel has nailed Atlanta as the third worst city in the nation for commuting.
Downtown residents pay the most for car insurance, not just compared with the rest of Atlanta but in the entire state of Georgia. But rates fall considerably elsewhere in the state, especially as you head north toward Marietta and other close-in suburbs. (You'll find a map comparing sample rates in all neighborhoods below.)
Keep in mind that your ZIP code is only one of the components determining the cost of your insurance premium. Each company calculates your rates differently. So, shop around for the lowest rates.
You'll find the details on Georgia state profile page.
Driving risks are further increased after 8 p.m. and on weekends when, according to a Georgia State Patrol audit, officer staffing drops significantly and DUI accidents increase. Georgia also has an aggressive "Super Speeder" law that adds a $200 levy atop normal fines for speed in excess of 85 mph -- not an uncommon speed at off-peak hours for Atlanta's Interstates.
Atlanta car insurance requirements
|Georgia state law requires the following minimum car insurance coverage:
|Minimum bodily injury liability
|Minimum property damage liability

Google unveils Nexus 7; can the $199 tablet find a place in enterprise?
Posted By Wayne Grayson On June 27, 2012 @ 4:47 pm In Construction Blog | No Comments
Nine days after Microsoft unveiled Surface [1], Google today unveiled a tablet of its own in the Nexus 7. As the name implies, the tablet features a 7-inch screen, unlike the 10-inch displays on the Surface and Apple's iPad. The new tablet is built by Asus and is powered by the latest version of Android, 4.1 aka "Jelly Bean."
The Nexus 7 is set to ship in mid-July and will cost only $199 [2]. In addition to an identical price and a similar, minimalist design, the Nexus 7 will directly compete with Amazon's Kindle Fire as a device mainly purposed for content consumption. However, while the Nexus 7 and the Fire are alike on the surface (pun not intended), beneath the hood, the Nexus makes the Fire seem wimpy.
While the Fire is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor, the Nexus 7 features a quad-core Tegra 3 system on a chip with a 12-core graphics processor, 8GB of storage space and 1GB of RAM. It is a tiny beast.
The Nexus 7 also features an HD display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 HD. It packs only one camera, a front-facing, 1.2MP lens, but does include an NFC chip, which Android 4.1 makes use of for quick photo sharing or device pairing by simply tapping devices together. The device is said to have 8 hours of battery life during "active use."
A 16GB version of the tablet will also be available for $249.
With a price of $199, there is a good chance that the Nexus 7 could unseat the Fire as the best-selling Android tablet on the market. Many bought the Fire on impulse because of its $199 price tag. And with double the processing power, a much more powerful GPU and the fact that this is an official Google product, many will find the Nexus 7 hard to turn down.
Though it's clear this is a device meant mainly for consumers, intedend for watching video, reading books etc., I'll be interested in seeing if Google is able to entice any in the enterprise space with the Nexus 7. As I blogged about last week after the Surface announcment, [1] Apple has a considerable lead in enterprise, something that Microsoft has a good shot at getting a piece of thanks to its Office suite of apps.
But what about Android? At $199, the Nexus 7 is cheap enough for companies to pull the trigger on a mass purchase, and powerful enough to drive any number of useful apps. Plus, at 7 inches, the Nexus 7 can be stashed in a back pocket, making it much more convenient on a job site.
But the real problem facing any Android device though is that those apps just aren't there. While the App Store now features more than 225,000 apps built for iPad, the Android Market only has a few hundred (if that) apps built for tablets.
Hopefully, a device like the Nexus 7 will light a fire beneath Android developers to begin producing these apps and we'll begin to be able to experiement with Android devices in the workplace.

A new case of Mad Cow Disease has been discovered in the United States:
The first new case of mad cow disease in the U.S. since 2006 has been discovered in a dairy cow in California, but health authorities said Tuesday the animal never was a threat to the nation's food supply.
The infected cow, the fourth ever discovered in the U.S., was found as part of an Agriculture Department surveillance program that tests about 40,000 cows a year for the fatal brain disease.
No meat from the cow was bound for the food supply, said John Clifford, the department's chief veterinary officer.
Korea has already decided to strengthen quarantines of US beef, and some Korean retailers have suspended sales of US beef.
One is tempted to conclude immediately that this will become fodder for the opposition in the upcoming presidential election. Certainly that's a possibility, and the timing couldn't be better, but we'll have to see how this plays out.
Anyway, the lesson we should learn from this is this—don't eat cows. Be like President Obama and Your Uncle Marmot and eat dog. It's better for you.

An important seminar on farm safety will be held March 7 by Monroe County Farm Bureau's Promotion and Education Committee.
The event will be from 1 to 4 p.m. at the 4-H Activity Center at the fairgrounds. Preregistration is encouraged by calling the Farm Bureau office at 269-3275.
Craig Anderson, a safety and labor specialist from Michigan Farm Bureau, will be the main speaker. The seminar will cover local crops and farm safety issues. It also will offer three pesticide recertification core credits for commercial and private applicators.
Topics to be covered include youth employment, grain bin safety, electrical safety, field spray drift management, chemical and pesticide use and transportation.
With heightened safety concerns due to rising national fatality statistics, growers are urged to attend, said Richard and Mary Janssens, co-chairmen of the committee.
"Farmers need to be prepared, be proactive and know the standards that could apply to your operation," Mr. Janssens said. "Developing and updating farm safety plans are essential steps for your workers' and your family's safety. They also can provide documentation that you understand and follow safety standard requirements. The injury you prevent could be your own."
The seminar will follow a class in the morning for farmers and commercial pesticide applicators to review the Core Pesticide Manual and to receive re-certification credits (see related story on this page).

There may be no better way to be simultaneously horrified and amused these days than to pick up one of Fred Dicker's columns. His latest masterpiece of tragedy and comedy, "Obama to Tap Cuomo to be 2012 Running Mate: Sources," is a study in hypocrisy, shoddy journalism and partisan reporting. Dicker's column had even the nutjobs calling him a hack.
Roger Stone, notorious Republican fixer/swinger/campaign manager/provocateur, tweeted things like this: "ZERO Chance Obama asks Gov Andrew Cuomo to be VP as reported in the NY Post—Fred Dicker has no source—he just makes this shit up." And this: "White House denies NY Post Cuomo VP story—Dicker exposed as BS artist." Stone didn't bother to point out that Dicker's New York Post column, published by Rupert Murdoch, was subsequently rebutted by Fox News, another of Murdoch's media playthings.
There have been a number of very thorough rebukes and debunkings of the Cuomo as VP theory in various publications, so I won't address it here, but the act of Dicker touting Cuomo as Obama's VP pick is just about the same as Cuomo's press person floating the idea. I'm not saying I believe Cuomo's press person was behind it. Only that Dicker is the Cuomo administration's go-to journalist for interviews and information dumps, as well as for testing ideas and running cleanup when they don't like the angle being reported by the rest of the media. Dicker was simply playing on a week's worth of national attention Cuomo received for his successful first six months as governor—especially the passage of same-sex marriage.
That is why Dicker's column is both devilishly clever and absurdly pathetic. Tucked under the rumor-mongering about Cuomo's possible run was a tidy little report about how the Cuomo administration was upset with a New York Times story that said Cuomo was set to lift a ban on hydraulic fracturing in certain parts of the state.
The hubbub started when the Times sent out a news flash claiming that Cuomo would seek to allow fracking in New York. The headline was simple, but anyone who knew the issue of fracking and why there is a moratorium on it in New York knew the truth could not be simple.
The Department of Environmental Conservation had been working on a new set of rules to govern fracking, the process by which natural gas is released from the earth by pumping millions of gallons of water and chemicals into shale formations. Environmentalists claim the process is far from safe and could contaminate drinking water. Drilling companies have refused to disclose exactly what chemicals they use in the process, and the federal government is planning a new review of the process's safety. Advocates say legalizing fracking could bring needed jobs to the southern tier of the state, not to mention loads of tax revenue. Even before the Times story, the head of the Empire State Development Corp. was busy in Washington trying to lure fracking companies to the state—you know—in case it was approved.
Minutes after the news alert, the Times ran a story claiming Cuomo would seek to legalize the process in some parts of the state; Cuomo spokesman Josh Vlasto was quoted in the story calling it "baseless speculation and premature."
Dicker and the Post quickly released an article noting that the DEC would soon reveal its new rules for hydrofracking and that Cuomo would make a decision on them only after a 30-day public comment period. Nick Confessore of The New York Times tweeted: "You can also read our #fracking story in the New York Post, if our Web site is buggy for some reason."
An hour or two later the DEC released a synopsis of its study—which said the state would approve fracking outside of the New York City and Syracuse watersheds and at least 500 feet from any major aquifer. It was nearly exactly what the Times had reported, but without the details of how the DEC report would be released and analyzed.
A reader unfamiliar with the issue perhaps could have supposed the Times was simply saying Cuomo had bypassed all the rules and was waving a magic wand to make fracking legal. It could be argued that the DEC is separate from the Cuomo administration, but Cuomo did get to appoint the new head of the DEC after Gov. David Paterson (or maybe his aide) fired the former chief shortly before leaving office.
And Cuomo certainly was able to vet his appointments to the agency based on his policy stance. So differentiating the two seems moot. Yes, there will be a 30-day public comment period, but both sides have made their cases known very loudly for a few years now. The DEC and Cuomo know what to expect; it's just a matter of how much publicity and backlash they get. The Cuomo administration appears ready to allow fracking in areas where it won't cause major outcry.
The day after releasing its synopsis, the DEC presented the full study, distributing copies to members of the Legislative Correspondents Association (the state capital press corps) at 5 PM on the Friday before the Fourth of July weekend. Earlier that day, DEC head Joseph Martens released a letter bashing the Times for its story. "To get the story so blatantly wrong by posting a misleading headline on the Times' home page is a disservice to your readers," he wrote.
So, while the Times alert and story were accurate, if perhaps incomplete, the DEC claims it was inaccurate and the Post says it was biased. However, the Post's stories—both Dicker's piece reacting to the New York Times story and his editorial—were single-minded and only propagated Dicker's role as mouthpiece to the Cuomo administration.
"The Cuomo administration is charging The New York Times with using its news pages to crusade against natural-gas drilling in the impoverished Southern Tier section upstate," wrote Dicker in the same column as his Cuomo-for-VP "exclusive." I use the term "exclusive" because it is how Dicker refers to the Times' piece on hydrofracking. The Post, however, has a one-sided, single-minded attitude toward hydrofracking. It is summed up in its recent editorial, "Frack, Baby, Frack." Seriously!
So Dicker got some national attention for himself and his favorite source—Gov. Cuomo—and stuck on a "P.S. Fuck You!" to The New York Times—all under the guise of taking the Times to task for "one-sided" reporting. Should I laugh, or should I cry?

ATLANTA, February 19, 2010 – The Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, has bidden "bon voyage" to its legendary one-of-a-kind Type 64 Berlin-Rome Car. Befitting the 60th anniversary of Porsche in America, the destination of the aluminum body of the Type 64 is the High Museum of Art in Atlanta - the home of Porsche's U.S. headquarters. This trans-oceanic trip marks the first time the elegantly aerodynamic coupe has ever ventured outside of Germany.
The Type 64 will be a feature of The High's "Allure of the Automobile" exhibition running March 21 to June 20, 2010.
In "The Allure of the Automobile," The High – considered the Southeast's leading fine-art museum – expresses its recognition of the outstanding automotive developments in the period from 1930 to 1960, focusing on the contrasts in the development of American and European automotive design. Type 64, which will be exhibited in its own gallery space, will be presented along with several other icons of the world of automobiles from Bugatti, Duesenberg, Jaguar, Ferrari, Pierce Arrow, Packard, Cadillac and Tucker. The 71-year old Porsche design, viewed as the precursor of all Porsches, is considered a triumph of exceptional design, innovative construction and superb craftsmanship.
Type 64 marks an essential milestone en route to the first Porsche, the Type 356 "No.1" built in 1948, and thus is of special significance in Porsche history. Built in 1938/39 under the guidance of Ferdinand Porsche, this unique car displayed the features that make Porsche cars special – light-weight construction and superior aerodynamics, exceptional performance, efficient yet reliable technology and a uniqueness of design – that remain embedded in the brand's DNA to this day. Originally developed for the Berlin-Rome long-distance race, the Type 64 never participated in a race due to the onset of World War II.
"This incredible design piece is the only prewar Porsche and it has never been seen outside Germany," said Detlev von Platen, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. "This may be a 'once-in-a-lifetime' chance to see the Type 64 as it may not venture to this Hemisphere again for quite some time."
Porsche, the sponsor of "The Allure of the Automobile" exhibit at The High Museum of Art, is also displaying another historic car, the 1953 Porsche 550 LeMans coupe, which will be on loan from the private Collier Collection of Porsche in Naples, Fla.

How does Sign-What-You-See (SWYS) improve online banking security?
Sign-What-You-See (SWYS) is a new security technique that improves online banking security. Here is how it works: with SWYS, you are required to verify and sign off on any transactions made from your bank account. You do this with a combination of "something you have" – a digital security device – and dynamic digital signatures based on specific transaction information.
SWYS prevents hackers from successfully hijacking your bank browser during an online banking session and making transactions, as what typically occurs in a man-in-the-browser attack. SWYS solutions have been deployed for major banks all over Europe, and are beginning to become popular in the United States, too.
According to Gartner analyst Avivah Litan, allowing the user to actually see the transaction before confirming it is key. "We have been advocating transaction verification for a long time," she said.

North Jersey Valkyries News Release - www.njvalkyries.com
Sunday, July 1, 2012
WAYNE, NJ - With only three games remaining in the regular season, the North Jersey Valkyries continued their title challenge with a 2-1 road victory against the New York Magic.
The game, a rematch of last week's encounter that ended in a 3-0 Valkyries victory, started in a similar fashion with the visitors taking an early lead, this time through an emphatic Alicia Tirelli strike.
The Valkyries will think themselves unfortunate to have only taken a one goal lead into the break. As the first half came to a close Jasmin Corniel twice found herself through on goal, only to be denied by Caitlin Hoffer in the Magic goal.
As play resumed in the second half, it was clear that the severe heat suffered in the first had taken its toll on the players.
However, the Valkyries' effort and determination eventually produced another goal. Ashley Clarke took her tally to six for the season with a cool finish into the bottom corner. Clarke now joins Nickolette Driesse as top scorer for the season so far.
The Magic were able to pull a goal back late in the game off of a free kick. The shot deflected off the Valkyries' wall sending goalkeeper Kate Courter the wrong way as the ball found the back of the net.
The Valkyries defense would hold firm to earn all three points and move back into second place in the Northeast Division.
The Valkyries now look forward to Saturday, July 7 as they welcome the New Jersey Rangers to DePaul Catholic High School. A win on Saturday would put North Jersey atop the division ahead of the Long Island Rough Riders who don't play until the following day.
Valkyries' Head Coach Mark White spoke of the season. "A great team effort to date. We have improved in all areas, and we want to finish as high as we possibly can."
But with the Valkyries having to face the two teams either side of them in the standings, he's not letting himself get carried away just yet.
"There is still a long way to go. Any one of the top three teams can win the division, and it will probably go to the last day." White added, "we have to play the Wildcats at home and then travel to Long Island to play the Rough Riders. Our previous meetings with both teams have been extremely competitive, and we will have to be at our very best if we want to come out of those games with anything. The good thing is that it is in our hands, and we do not need to worry about other results, just our own performances. We will stay focused, and I am positive we will give it our best shot."
The Valkyries next home game, Saturday, July 7, kicks off at 4 p.m. at DePaul Catholic High School.

I purchased this graphics package with editable psd files. It was recommended to use photoshop to edit. I have been using Gimp and I am suppose to be able to edit these files with this program as well.
I am able to view the layers and manipulate the images but I can not click on the layers to change the text, colors, etc.
I found a plugin that said it makes that possible. But I am not able to get my plugins to work either??
I follow a tutorial on extracting plugins into Gimp but I get an error when I start it for those plugins. So I am having trouble installing plugins as well.
Can anyone help with this problem.
Can you provide the URL to that plug-in? I'm not aware of one that claims to improve the PSD support in GIMP, but it is of course possible that someone has worked on the PSD loader and made it available somewhere.
PSD files are not fully compatible with Gimp. If a layer uses Photoshop´s Layer FX, it won´t show up correctly in Gimp.
And text layers will not be editable as text.
All layers should be rasterized in PS before saving if You want them to open correctly in Gimp. Add text in Gimp?

And……here's your daily PSA from Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke:
" So finally I can tell you the Atoms for Peace record is coming out on the 25th February, it's called Amok.
The front will look like theez..The tracks are
Before Your Very Eyes
Stuck Together Pieces
Judge Jury and Executioner
Reverse Running
We put something new on the website for you to stare at etc for a while here… www.atomsforpeace.info
It's a while to wait i know so i'm sure some other things will occur before then.
Atoms for Peace… members of staff
Me Vocals Keyboards Programming and Guitars
Nigel Godrich Production & Programming
Joey Waronker Drums
Mauro Refosco Percussion
Flea Bass
We formed to learn to play The Eraser record, if you don't know that, and discovered a really good energy doing that… and it fell into this record.
I'm still reeling from being on tour for much of the year but we are planning to get together and play etc next year ! We're figuring all that out right now.
Atoms is a ongoing and open ended project, where it leads i know not for certain… which is what is nice about it."
2013 all of a sudden got a lot more interesting. Stack this piece of news with a new Arcade Fire album expected in 2013 and I'd be happy if nothing else was released. 2013 is shaping up to be VERY NICE.

November has come to be known as Movember, a month-long event where men across the world grow mustaches in an effort to raise money (and awareness) for men's health issues. It's a fun, creative way to deal with something serious. So in honor of that noble cause, let's celebrate 5 awesome fictional characters who are mustachioed inspirations for Movember.
As a huge "Parks and Rec" fan, Ron Swanson's mustache is essentially unrivaled. There are only a few things you need to know about the character and his mustache is one of them. It's so distinctive Nick Offerman, who plays Ron, is frequently asked about the mustache, which is 100% real. In an interview with TV.com, Offerman said, "When Mike Schur [producer/writer for "Parks and Rec"] and I sat down to sort of sculpt what Ron Swanson was going to be like, one of the first things we decided was that he would have a super kick-ass Midwestern mustache."

This year after a long planning and survey I have choose privilegeserver for my sites. Wau !!! It is fast, and much much faster then my previous one. My special thanks to Mr.Sharanyan who recommended this server. I need to thank all the support team who helped me to transfer the files and helped me in all the issues. They are really fast and good. Thank you all, Thank you privilegeserver. My site link - http://www.kaadhaldesam.com.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - The last inmates left months ago, and now the 150-year-old Nevada State Prison is being officially taken out of service.
A decommissioning ceremony will be held Friday on the prison grounds in Carson City.
Parts of NSP predate Nevada's statehood. It was established in 1862 and was in continuous operation for 150 years until the last inmates were moved out in January.
The prison also houses Nevada's execution chamber, though no executions are imminent.
Officials had said bringing the aging building up to code would have cost $30 million, and moving inmates to newer, more efficient penitentiaries is expected to save half that amount over the two-year budget cycle.
Gov. Brian Sandoval is scheduled to speak at the ceremony.

Sad is that with actual fighter and bomber damage there is no need for carriers
This STAR WARS mod for Freelancer is pushing the boundaries with player controlled non-playable characters! Take a gander at this video!
Posted by FW:ToW_Sushi on Dec 19th, 2012
We have been working on several fronts to bring this STAR WARS mod to completion. Much of this entails devising new ways to make our envisioned gameplay features reality. Several weeks ago an old Freelancer modder, Devast8or or Dev for short, came back out of retirement and officially joined the Freeworlds team to try his hand at making AI more poignant in our universe.
Through the magic of our hooking program, he's been able to make NPCs spawn at will and respond to a variety of orders, such as joining formation or attacking specified targets. This obviously has huge implications for our dedicated capital carrier craft as well any other ships that can bring fighters into battle. We thought that since the MOTYs are well under way, and since this is the season of giving, we'd show you a teaser demonstration of the preliminary work on this front. Remember, this is very much a WORK IN PROGRESS and what you see in video is expected to only get better by the final release. Enjoy the video!
In related news, for those of you that have been following us for a while, we may have found a way to make some turrets controllable by AI. We're very much in the preliminary area of this effort, but I thought I would throw it out there as yet another thing to look forward to. And please, if you like what you see give us a VOTE in the upcoming mod category!
Until next time!!!
If you like what you see, and have been playing, please don't forget to tell your friends, your communities you frequent and social sites like REDDIT/Twitter about this mod. Player word of mouth goes a long way and we'd appreciate any of the support we can get for this mod of ours! Thanks everyone!
Sad is that with actual fighter and bomber damage there is no need for carriers
Oh ye of little faith!
Making fighters like these feel meaningful will be highly relevant to our interests once this system is ready to be added. We will do what must be done.
I'm sorry, what?
Sure, don't expect fighters to pop down an ISD, but bombers and especially patrol boats are dangerous against capitals.
Lol dude you are hilarious :D
Anyway couple of questions:
Will there be an option to spawn
Only Fighters
Only Bombers
Mix of those 2
Also i see they owned that "big" ship in like 15-20 seconds, how will they fare vs. other small ships, they are kinda harder to hit and we all know FL AI sucks ???
So I mentioned/mumbled it during the video, but if you didn't catch it I had set the corvette's HP super low for the purposes of demonstration and explosions. That was not intended to be an accurate depiction of intended balance. Fighters like the TIE Interceptors I used in the video will still be best used against other fighters. As far as the AI being terrible, Freelancer AI is not utterly useless but I wouldn't expect it to replace players by any stretch; these NPCs are intended to be used alongside player fighters whenever possible.
Regarding control over what you launch, yes a system to that effect will totally exist. We haven't come to final decisions over how exactly the system should be set up, but generally carriers will be able deploy units of their choosing into different groups. These groups can then be commanded independently, so that for example a squadron of your bombers could be sent to attack a capital ship while your fighters engage enemy bombers.
Wow awesome news about bomber/fighter system.
Yeah i didn't know you put low hp on that corvette, that explains a lot :D.
Thanks for the fast response and keep up the good work!
As ALWAYS..... awesome feature; But to be honest I am growing bored to hear about how awesome the MOD is gonna be some time in the unknown future. All this videos are basically a tease. I played the demo and was yet another tease. No one plays it any more (do they?). It has been over a year that the imminent release was announced and pushed back. Enough already... By the time it gets release no one will be around to play it.
I appreciate the work that this MOD requires and the desire to do a great job (which obviously is paying off), but the MOD is nothing if you lose your fan base waiting for its release.
my $0.02
Try telling that to the Black Mesa development team. They developed their mod for 8 years, yet still had a strong fan base!
While that is absolutely fair, also try to keep in mind that they are trying to make it as complete as possible before launching it for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that these guys have very very little free time to work on this stuff. They are also playing with an engine that was NEVER intended for these things. Digital Anvil had plans for a lot of these things but were forced to release without any sort of hooks or anything to allow for this, so this has all been done with extremely clever coding that should not really work in the first place.
Imagine trying to make a toaster cook a pot-roast. Sure, with some clever work you could pull out the elements and arrange them flat, but you would have to totally take it apart and really make it work for you.
As for the matter of the fighters replacing player fighters, also keep in mind that the construction mechanisms for these carriers in the actual mod will make them prohibitively expensive to field a large number of them. It will not be like normal freelancer, or even freeworlds in the past where you could spend a solid day trading and have more than enough cash to buy a capital. And even so if they end up being too good, they can just dumb down the AI to make them something to worry about, but not something that is inherently better than a player by any stretch.
edit: That was not supposed to sound mean or anything. I also think that because this is a mod for an aged game, you are not really going to lose anyone that was not already sold on the idea the way you would on a mod for a young game.
Thanks for the reply PringleMan
This entire feature has not taken time away from the main points of the mod's development, as Dev was not expected to work with us and thus he didn't have any specific work to do. We basically told him to go crazy on whatever he wanted to do, and he made this.
The rest of the team is still working away at the mod's primary features, which aren't finished. It is a lot more dangerous to release an incomplete mod that bleeds out its fanbase in a few weeks than to release late and lose a few people. Looking at the stats also tells me that if we're losing people, we're gaining more than enough to balance it out.
Outstanding! I can't believe how much you are pushing this old game... I bet even Chris Roberts himself would approve your work on the game he wanted, but never got the chance to make (well, until he finally started the Star Citizen project)...
Hehe, thanks for the comments
Outstanding, impressive work.
Pretty darn awesome for a thing meant to be "on the side" ... Great work.
Ya, Dev's pretty great!
I don't care what people say, this game is WAY better than what any of us could make.
Well, dunno about that, but we're trying our best to make it a game all would enjoy.
Absolutely! I am quietly waiting for the mod to fully launch and then I plan on spending a lot of time on it. :D

Google opens AdSense to web videos
updated 01:55 pm EST, Thu February 21, 2008
Google AdSense Video
Google today expanded its AdSense web service to include AdSense for video, one of the first large-scale ad revenue systems for web-based footage. The feature allows videos from YouTube to either embed ads in the videos themselves or to use the company's overlay system to put text ads on top that change based on the video and its surroundings: ads will change based either on text on the video's host site or on cues in the video itself, Google says. In-video ads are paid out based on impressions while text ads are based on the number of actual clicks.
However, the current plan is currently limited only to large publishers, Google warns. In contrast to user-made ad systems such as Overlay.TV, the beta AdSense service is currently limited only to content producers with one million or more streams each month and are based in the US with English-language content. Google explains that it intends to open the system up to smaller publishers and foreign sites in the future.
The addition of AdSense is ultimately expected to change the behavior of YouTube, which has often been ad-free and relies instead on deals from music labels and other content providers to supply revenue. Google has not said whether it will expand these ads to apply to handhelds and other devices, which either use mobile versions of Adobe's Flash plugin (such as Nokia Nseries handsets) or view YouTube without Flash at all, such as the iPhone.

I agree with woodtick. The 700 is the best action out there. I have several model 700's & they are my prefered rifle. I have a 700 SPS Stainless in a 300 Win Mag. It had the Xmark pro trigger, when I learned about the recall. I bought a new timney & changed it out. You can buy straight from timney. A black one is $134 & a nickel is $144. They are adjustable from 1.5 - 4 lbs. They will pre-set them where you tell them to. My advice to any one having problems is to start changing out parts. Put a timney or jewell trigger in it. Replace the barrel with a hart or shilen. Replace the stock with a Boyd or McMillan, ect....

"Now two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I fee. One is the colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue. The other one's got a rattlesnake With a simple statement made "Don't tread on me" is what it says and I'll take that to my grave. Because this is me. I'm proud to be American and strong in my beliefs. And I've said it before but I'll say it again 'Cause my family's always fought and died to save this land. And a country boy is all I'll ever be."
I have Winchester Pre 64 in a 264 Win Mag my Dad gave me. I still prefer a Model 700, that's what I started shooting when I was kid. I guess it's what you get use to & have faith in? Just my opinion......chevy, ford, dodge..... Same Argument! LOL

I have several model 700s in different calibers. All of them shoot very good. I have other brands as well but have been very happy with the accuracy out of the 700s. No incidents here but I have been getting the letters... Not sure what I will do. Thanks for all the good input on this topic.
I really like my original tang safety Ruger M77. Bought it in 1975 and have shot 1000's of rounds thru it without any problems. The pre 64 M70 is a classic. Fit and finish cannot be duplicated today without spend lots of $$$.

Sorry about the ordeal you guys are having with your Remington's! Man what a pain. I think I will just keep my old Winchester M70's till I die.

'This beast of a pitch': Keeping the Green, Green Grass of Wales at the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff
Collecting the 'Here and Now' at Amgueddfa Cymru
As part of contemporary industrial collecting, Amgueddfa Cymru have been interviewing and recording some of the army of people who work in Cardiff on 'match day'. We've talked to restaurant and pub staff, street vendors and closer to the ground the BBC crews and of course the staff who run the Millennium Stadium. The WRU gave us total access behind the scenes to record their working day.
Here, Lee Evans, the Head Groundsman at the Millennium Stadium, talks about his job.
How did you get started in this type of work?
My first job when I left school was with Swansea City Council, maintaining the grass pitches in the old 'Morfa Stadium' — now the Liberty Stadium. It was there that I got the bug to become a groundsman.
From there I moved to the south east of England and worked in a couple of private schools including Roedean.
Later I worked in the professional industry — for Fulham football club and Aston Villa F.C. Then, when we were homesick, we moved back to Wales and I came to work here in March 2004.
At the Millennium Stadium I'm responsible for maintaining this beast of a pitch. It was the first palletised pitch in Europe and it hasn't been without its problems — but we think we've solved the majority of these now.
I'm responsible for the maintenance of the pitch when the grass is in and getting it up to scratch for our international matches in football and rugby. We maintain it and then put it back together after the game.
When you bring in new turf how long is it before it can be played on?
In the past, before we had the 'growlights', we used to bring the turf in as late as possible. The reason being that as soon as you bring turf into this environment it just wants to die — it can't survive in here. So we used to bring it in a just week before the game.
The downside of that was the turves did not have time to knit together and to the subsoil. It would just be like a carpet and if the forwards scrumaged on it, it could roll up.
Now with the 'growlights' on the turf, four weeks of light before a game, and the turf will be over 90% stable. That's still not to say that where the joins are, if the forwards get their studs in there, there is a small risk in the first game that the turf will slide back a little. But we are pretty confident that won't happen.
What do you do on a typical matchday?
Matchday is great! It's the highlight of the week I guess. It's the bug of the industry — it's what you look forward too.
If it's a five thirty kick off, we'll cut it matchday morning. We'll mark out matchday morning and then we'll sit back and watch it and enjoy it!
Do pop concerts or events cause you any problems with the pitch?
Well we're lucky here because the pitch goes out as its movable. So it leaves the stadium and I'll take my holidays or have some time off. I don't get to see many concerts!

Douglas Englebart, the inventor of the computer mouse (among other things), passed away this week at the age of 88. He was a true pioneer of computing who had a profound influence on how we interact with technology today.
It's not hyperbole to say that without his early work on human-computer interaction in the 1960s at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), we wouldn't have the graphical user interfaces found on Windows and the Mac we take for granted today.
I often show software engineering students a jaw-dropping video that was recorded in 1968. The picture is in grainy black and white, but ...

This was a very concise and thoroughly illustrated tutorial. There is much insight packed into this one page. Thank you very much for your hard work in making this information available. The only problem that I ran into was the thickening of the surface. I did some research and found out that if there is a singularity, that is, if the UV curves merge into a single point, thickening won't work, unless you use a crazy microscopic thickness value. I haven't figured out how to create the loft w/o the face curves merging into one point though.
Thanks again! Do you have any books available?
