Sorry for the inactivity guys, but we're back! Well at least I am trying to keep it up-to-date.
Feel free to add your comments, suggestions, and critiques!
I used Threatfire for several years but quit when it was no longer being updated. This program has not been updated since March of 2012, should it still be on this list (HIPS)?
The inclusion criteria for threat-fighting applications is whether the given application is useless (or nearly useless) against current threats. I'm sure that ThreatFire is not as good against current threats as it was back when it was maintained. So the question is whether this low bar is not being met? In this particular case, even if the low bar is not met, ThreatFire can also be configured to alert on single behaviors, making ThreatFire behave more like most other HIPS.
Very soon (perhaps today) a new key called "Discontinued or inactive" will be introduced. This key will be used for ThreatFire.
Thank you for the feedback :).
Does any of this software run on Windows 10?
Emsisoft Emergency Kit, HitmanPro.Alert, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Prey (Anti-Theft), SoftPerfect RAM Disk, WinPatrol, Zemana Anti-Malware, PeStudio, SUMo, LastPass, TrafficLight, VTchromizer, WOT, µBlock
The above is actually my security setup, minus what's already in Windows 10 (system imaging, file history, SmartScreen, Windows Defender, Protected Mode, UAC, etc.)
Yes, some of the software should run on Windows 10. You'll have to explore each individual link for information about Windows 10 compatibility.
Sorry, but I have to object to (seemingly) generally giving download links from Cnet.com or Download.com. Maybe I misunderstand the text.
These are in my experience some of the worst sites adding unnecessary download programs and wrappers that in turn then get (ab)used to sneakily get PuPs installed.
Recommending Cnet/Download.com IMHO equals aiding the proliferation of one of the nastiest kind of malware that currently is way too common. I have found that almost always there are other options.
Well, IMHO you only really know after you run ADWcleaner and Malwarebytes and both come up clean.
I encounter quite often the opinion that all PuPs can be removed in Programs and Features. Not true in my experience.
Babylon, Conduit and Searchscopes for example (there are many more) come up in these scans ONLY and can completely ruin the internet experience.
Stupid captcha feature.

|Effects of ketamine and its metabolites on ion currents in differentiated hippocampal H19-7 neuronal cells and in HEK293T cells transfected with α-hslo subunit.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23227486 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Ketamine (KT), a dissociative anesthetic, is known to induce schizophrenia-like psychosis. The percentage of KT abuse has recently grown fast despite KT being a controlled drug. The mechanism of KT actions is related to the inhibition of NMDA receptors. Whether KT produces other effects on ion currents in hippocampal neurons remains unclear. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the possible effects of KT and other related compounds on ion currents in hippocampal neuron-derived H19-7 cells. This drug exerted an inhibitory effect on Ca(2+)-activated K(+) current (IK(Ca)) in these cells with an IC(50) value of 274 μM. Pimaric acid (30 μM) or abietic acid (30 μM), known to stimulate large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels, reversed KT-induced inhibition of I(K)(Ca). In HEK293T cells expressing a-humans low poke, KT-induced inhibition of I(K)(Ca) still existed. Dehydronorketamine (300 μM) had little or no effect on the IK(Ca) amplitude, while norketamine (300 μM) slightly but significantly suppressed it. In inside–out configuration, KT applied to the intracellular face of the membrane did not alter single channel conductance of large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BKCa) channels; however, it did significantly reduce the probability of channel openings. Addition of KT was effective in depressing the peak amplitude of voltage-gated Na(+) current. Moreover, the presence of KT was noted to enhance the amplitude of membrane electroporation-induced inward currents (IMEP) in differentiated H19-7 cells. KT-stimulated IMEP was reversed by further application of LaCl(3) (100 μM), but not by NMDA (30 μM). The modulations by this compound of ion channels may contribute to the underlying mechanisms through which KT and its metabolites influence the electrical behavior of hippocampal neurons if similar findings occur in vivo.

|Early Diagnostic Value of Plasma PCT and BG Assay for CRBSI After OLT.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21693277 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|AIM: The aim was to evaluate the role of procalcitonin (PCT) and (1-3)-β-D-glucan (BG) tests for early detection or exclusion of central venous catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).
METHODS: Fifty-five patients with clinically suspected CRBSI were assessed after OLT in this prospective study. On the day of clinical suspicion of CRBSI, blood samples were obtained from central venous catheters and a peripheral vein for blood cultures and from a peripheral vein for PCT and BG tests. Plasma PCT and BG values were measured by using an immunoluminometric assay and Fungitell BG assay, respectively. No prisoners or organs from prisoners were used in this study.
RESULTS: Twenty-five patients (45%) were diagnosed with CRBIS. Among them, 13 (52%) displayed gram-positive bacteriemia, 11 (44%) gram-negative bacteriemia, and 1 (4%) fungemia. The PCT values were higher in CRBSI than in non-CRBSI patients (P = .003). CRBSI patients did not show significant increases in plasma BG values compared with non-CRBSI subjects (P = .051). PCT and BG area under receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.840 and 0.486, respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of a PCT of ≥3.1 ng/mL for the diagnosis of CRBSI were 0.72, 0.87, 0.82, and 0.79, respectively. The figures for a BG of ≥83 pg/mL were 0.32, 0.90, 0.73, and 0.61, respectively. Among the 24 patients with bacteria infections, PCT was higher in patients with gram-negative than those with gram-positive bacterial infections (P = .022).
CONCLUSION: We concluded that the PCT assay may be a useful rapid diagnostic adjunct for the diagnosis of suspected CRBSI in OLT patients.

A look back at 2008
December 31, 2008
No. 1
The color orange had some Eudorans seeing red during the summer and fall as a result various construction projects.
Work on the downtown beautification project started on July 7 — and still continues — on Main Street. That same week, KDOT notified the city the Church Street bridge over K-10 would receive work at the end of the month that lasted until the end of September. Just one week later, Douglas County Public Works told the city Church would receive a mill and overlay once bridgework was finished.
Work on the bridge and Church Street went as planned and finished by mid-October. Such has not been the case for the downtown beautification project, which began three weeks late because of a rainy spring.
KDOt officials chose Eudora as one of 18 cities eligible for a transportation enhancement grant. The grant will cover 80 percent of the streetscape improvements. Engineers estimated the project would cost about $1.5 million and the city had budgeted about $902,000 for its part.
No. 2
The role of Superintendent of School for USD 491 transitioned on Tuesday from Marty Kobza to Don Grosdidier.
For Kobza, it is both an ending and a new beginning, as he will be headed to a similar position in Hot Springs County, Wyo. It also is a bit surreal to be leaving the district he has been a part of for the last 14 years
"It's different," Kobza said. "You're starting all over and you're starting again, which is exciting and challenging. But at the same time, there are things here that are very familiar. So, I'm a little nervous."
Kobza, who is a father of five, said he and his wife had been considering a move for about two years, but began seriously looking into opportunities about 10 months ago.
"This was just the right thing for our family at this time in so many ways," Kobza said. "We are just so appreciative for the opportunities that the people of Eudora gave us. They gave me a chance to do the things I did and trusted me enough to make me superintendent."
Kobza's time as superintendent coincided with a time of rapid growth in Eudora. To deal with increased enrollment, Kobza oversaw the passage to two district bond issues.
New Eudora USD 491 Superintendent Don Grosdidier had a great second day on the job when the district received a four-year, $3 million grant July 2 from the U.S. Departments of Education, Justice and Health and Human Services.
The grant was part of $74 million in grants awarded to 27 different states as part of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students Initiative.
USD 491 was the only school district in the state of Kansas to receive the grant.
The district applied for the grant in March after discussing it at a meeting in late February attended by about 23 representatives from various organizations, including members of the Bert Nash Center, the Eudora City Council, the Eudora Chamber of Commerce, Douglas County Youth Services, the Eudora School district and the Eudora Police
The grant, which will pay out $745,816 over four years, will address five areas that can detract from quality of life:
• safety and violence factors
• drugs and alcohol factors
• behavioral, social and emotional factors
• mental health factors
• early childhood and parenting factors
No. 4
Eudora High School received national recognition last week when the U.S. News and World Report chose it as one of the top high schools in the country.
A total of 21,000 schools were ranked gold, silver or bronze. EHS received a bronze and was one of 34 schools in the state to make the list. It was the only school in Douglas County to be ranked.
"I thought it was pretty impressive that we got a bronze," EHS senior Mariah Webb said. "It makes me appreciate my school a little bit more. I was very surprised that this little school got such a high ranking."
The award was the silver lining to the cloudy forecast the district had received during the week as a result of the economy's effect on the district's bond projects.
No. 5
Just one day before the Eudora USD 491 Board of Education passed a resolution honoring him for his work to improve their schools, Leo 'Doc" Lauber, 82, died of cancer at Medicalodges, Eudora.
Lauber, who played an integral part in the development and improvement of the community, moved to Eudora in 1959 with his wife, Jean, who also was known as Dusty.
The father of six served on the Eudora City Council, Eudora Planning Commission, Eudora Board of Education, the ECO2 Commission of Douglas County and the Lawrence-Douglas Planning Commission. He was the former president of Lions Club, was a member of MENSA and fought in World War II.
Lauber was a chiropractor by trade, but also was a successful entrepreneur. He founded the Orthopedic Casting Laboratory, which was Eudora's largest private employer during the late 1970s, and M-PACT Worldwide, which produced medical supplies.

Carhops roller-skate at Ardy and Ed's in Oshkosh, but the drive-in is closed for the winter.
- Filed Under
It's been months since we dipped into the reader mailbag. Here is a sample of your feedback, questions and advice - all of which I greatly appreciate.
? Before colleague Sandra Friend of Florida made her way to Wisconsin, she asked for advice about places to stay. "Chicago is too urban for us," she decided, so her road trip veered toward Baraboo and the glacial formations at Devil's Lake State Park, International Crane Foundation and the Aldo Leopold Shack and Legacy Center.
I didn't think busy Wisconsin Dells, especially its mega resorts, would be a good match because Sandra's writing specialties are nature, hiking, peace and quiet (see sandrafriend.com for the dozen-plus books and travel apps she has written).
Inn Serendipity Woods, a remote cabin rental not far from Baraboo, was my top recommendation. The owners also operate the eco-progressive Inn Serendipity near Monroe. For more: innserendipity.com.
I encouraged an additional detour to Wildcat Mountain State Park and the Amish/organic farms of cool little Viroqua (viroquatourism.com).
? Lloyd Arndt of Madison is a well-traveled retiree who recently returned from a Texas/Louisiana jaunt and next will visit Jamaica. This summer, he also explored the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan, Ludington to Mackinac Island. "Now where do I go next?" he asked.
My suggestion: Quebec City, especially the cobblestone streets of Old Quebec, which is a wonderful way to get a taste of French heritage and food without leaving the continent. It is among my favorite Canadian destinations. See quebecregion.com.
? Linda McGinty of Luverne, Minn., noticed my column about Canyon Road Inn, Turtle Lake, and said this bed and breakfast is her favorite. "We've stayed in the same room three times," she writes. "No small jaunt, as we live six hours away. We just love the place."
"The honor system makes this place unique," writes Diana Cook of Madison, regarding my recent account of the Frederick Laue House, a B&B in Alma. "It was good to be reminded of the Lake Geneva walk, too. ? It sounds like there are new features along the way. Will have to do that walk again someday. Another unique site" in Wisconsin.
The Geneva Lake shoreline walking path also intrigues Marie LoCicero of Pleasant Prairie, who writes "My girlfriends and I have many times considered making this walk but always had one question that still goes unanswered: Is there anywhere to go to the bathroom?"
At least one lakeshore guide says there are no public bathrooms between Lake Geneva and Williams Bay, but I was pleasantly surprised (relieved, actually) to see a portable toilet at Chapin Road and the lakeshore, roughly the halfway point of the seven-mile walk.
Marie also asked whether a bicycle trail links these communities. "Your great suggestion of leaving cars in both locations made me think of possibly doing this," she added. Although Lake Geneva has bike routes, none follows the lakeshore.
Lake Geneva Cruise Line is a seasonal alternative, but make a reservation for this type of transportation. Options (until weather turns too cold) include a Sunday brunch, "Feet, Seat and Eat." See cruiselakegeneva.com.
? Some readers generously share details about favorite restaurants.
Janet Anderson is a fan of J.B. Country Restaurant, 1898 Highway 21, Arkdale. The off-the-radar menu includes Polish food: pierogi, potato pancakes and sausages made on the premises. The rural restaurant is at the intersection with Highway Z, about 35 miles northwest of Wisconsin Dells, sharing space with a Citgo gas station. "Very good food and very uniquely done," Janet wrote. "We think you would enjoy it."
"While visiting my sister-in-law in Chicago, I read your series on Chicago neighborhoods," said Nancy Moskal of Edgerton. "She lives in an area with fabulous Italian merchants," northwest of the Windy City, and favorites include The Original Nottoli and Son Italian Sausage Shop and Deli, 7652 W. Belmont St. (nottoli.com), and DiMaggio Ristorante and Cafe, 7326 W. Lawrence Ave. (dimaggiorestaurant.com).
After writing about Charlie's Drive-in, Hortonville, Nancy and Janine Younkin of Fond du Lac mentioned other drive-in restaurants "worth checking out" - Ardy and Ed's, 2413 S. Main St., Oshkosh (ardyandeds.com) and Gillys Frozen Custard in Fond du Lac, Sheboygan and Green Bay (gilles.com).
? My preseason ode to Green Bay and its love of football brought this feedback.
A new restaurant, Hagemeister Park, "is not on the site of the original Hagemeister Park," said Bob Defnet of Green Bay. "The park was on the banks of the East River, about 1.5 miles east of the restaurant and now is known as Joannes Park."
"The Packers Heritage Trail needs a lot of publicity," wrote Tom Murphy of Green Bay. It is "worth the effort for true Green Bay fans."
Vince Lombardi's downtown office, this longtime Packer historian added, was on the northeast corner of South Washington and Crooks streets - but (contrary to another source) not in the basement. "Vince never would have allowed it," Tom said. "It was on the first floor and used only until the office addition to the new City Stadium was completed two years later."
? "I loved touring the Hemingway home years ago when we lived in Florida," wrote Amy Beck of Wausau, who later adopted a six-toed cat from an animal shelter. Amy's comment was in response to my column about Key West.
Mandy Evans, a Rice Lake native and Florida transplant, says her favorite Key West sports bar is Jack Flats, 509 Duval St., which shows every NFL game. Also popular with her, as a Packers fan, is JDL's Big Ten Pub (jdlbigtenpub.com), 920 Caroline St., which she said is owned by a Wisconsinite, "so he always shows all of the Wisconsin games - NFL and college."
Barb Garton of Eau Claire was intrigued with a photo that accompanied my column about the Friendship Force and its goodwill exchanges, domestic and abroad. "What's the deal with the unicorn," she inquired, saying it looked like an apparition.
Sandi Wysock said the picture was taken in Cesme, Turkey, a resort city on the Aegean Sea and part of the Turkish Riviera. "The wire sculpture that your reader spotted is indeed a unicorn," she writes. "As far as we know, it doesn't have any particular significance except to serve as a lovely piece of public art." For more about upcoming Friendship Force adventures, see ffwis.org.
Your column feedback and ideas are welcome. Write to Midwest Features, PO Box 259623, Madison, WI 53725 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Received her BA in Botany from the University of Michigan. Upon graduation, she worked for a short time for a private tree company in Ann Arbor before coming back to the University to work as a horticulturist. While working with her student crews as a horticulturist, Erin realized how much she enjoyed teaching the students about the different flora found on campus. Erin then earned a secondary teaching certificate in biology and chemistry from Eastern Michigan University and a MS in Science Education from Montana State University. She spent seven years as a high school biology instructor and academic advisor at Washtenaw Technical Middle College before returning to her alma mater once again in her current capacity. Many times as a teacher, Erin would break out into song to help her students learn a concept, and she is known to do the same thing when inspired during her advising sessions with students. Unfortunately for her audience, Erin is neither a good singer nor someone who recalls the correct lyrics to a song.

"This particular design allowed us to use photos that truly represented our son's personality and interests, and I loved the ability to change the font as well as put an effect on one of the photos to completely make it his own. The paper and photo quality were excellent, and totally true to color with our original photos. I would never trust our milestone moments to anyone else but Tiny Prints in the future!"
"This graduation party invitation turned out beautifully, and we've received many compliments on how professional and high quality it is. Highly recommend!"
"I had tried on several other sites to customize a card for my daughter's graduation party invitations and could not get what I wanted. With tiny prints, the upload was easy, the photos turned out beautifully and the designs they offered were unique and beautiful. Also the envelopes fit correctly! You may not think this would be an issue, but I had ordered shower invitations from a different site and the envelopes were two inches too long. Tiny Prints is my go to online stationary store from now on!"
"I loved the delicate, simplicity of this card for my daughter. And the fact that I can later use the photo in a table top frame... quality of all tiny prints products is always excellent."
"I was nervous about ordering these without a hard-copy proof, but they came out perfect. The paper was very thick. The iridescent finish gave it a soft glow. The printing was flawless. The review process was also very thorough. I had several chances to correct and/or customize to make sure the finished product was exactly what I wanted. They look really professional, and they got here in two days. I would definitely use this company again."

This Dec. 8, 2012 photo shows Aaron Swartz, in New York.
- Filed Under
SAN FRANCISCO - The memory of online-freedoms crusader Aaron Swartz eventually may fade into the Internet ether, but his death helps shed light on legal concerns in the digital era.
Swartz faced 35 years in prison over allegations he stole millions of subscription-based academic articles from MIT's digital archives. The prodigy-turned-online innovator helped develop website Reddit and the technology behind RSS, used for digital distribution.
Swartz committed suicide Friday ahead of a trial set for April for the alleged breach at MIT of the digital library JSTOR, which did not wish to ...

We've seen a couple instances of temperatures that actually rise at night and fall during the day these past few weeks. We're in for another such trend heading into Monday morning along with some light snow and rain across the state.
After a day like we had on Sunday, where temperatures stayed in the single digits and teens once again, one might expect to have to get up early to find bitter morning temperatures and to have to warm up the car first thing Monday morning. But that will not be the case; southerly winds usher in milder temperatures to start things out Monday morning. There will also be some periods of light snow that bring the visibility down a bit. This light snow will mix with and chance to rain along the immediate coast and a good portion of Washington County, however, interior Maine likely received an inch or two by nighttime Monday. Parts of the Crown of Maine may pick up 3-6" of snow with some locally higher amounts.
Skies clear Monday night...and another shot of cold air comes back into the area for Tuesday. Single digits and teens for high temperatures appear likely from northern to central Maine; closer to 20° near the coast. Winds will also be quite busy.
The chill sticks around for Wednesday, but slowly lets go a little by the end of the week. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s and lower 30s by Friday. All in all, after Monday's light snow and rain, a quiet workweek will take shape weatherwise.

NO... It's not the TARP curse... it's the RINO curse. Tarp was a coin toss for lots of people... It was however the catalyst that spawned the "tea party", even before Obama took office. The Obama administration and it's priorities, are what put the wind in the sails of the tea party... You can wrap yourself in in the Republican clothing... but voting for something like Tax-and-trade... is the kiss of death. It stinks of left wing loonies willing to sink our economy for enviro-wakos..... "you will know the tree by the fruit that it bears" - Jesus.
OK.. just so you know.. I'm not a religious zealot... In fact... I'm a social liberal with conservative fiscal roots.... I'm just quoting a source more knowledgeable than me; not a hard task... but I figured I'd go to the top :)
I think that the Alan Specters and Olympia Snows have rooted out the opportunity for middle road/moderates to hide in comfort. The conservative bunch is rooting them out. I'm conservative form a constitutional standpoint... I don't agree with the religious right and it's assertions, but I'm also concerned by an obvious attempt at the unraveling of the constitutional basis of our country.
OK... done now....
I'm no fan of RINO's like Snow and Collins and Castle.
But...I'd rather have a RINO in the Senate than a Democrat. If O'Donnell looses the general, and there is a very good chance she will, this will look very bad for the Tea Party and will cast a shadow over the conservative revolt.
Eric Ericson and Red State.com were in favor of TARP, as was The Weekly Standard, The National Review, many conservative talk show people. Damian Paletta is being way too simplistic and jingoistic in saying it is just about the TARP.Also Damian fails to cite the GOP house members that voted for TARP.
No this is more complex and transformative then that.
It's over for rapublicans in Delaware. Thank you T-baggers, that pretty lady is a loser and moderates and independents will vote for the democratic candidate whoever he is.
Majority in Senate voted for TARP.
I would rather lose an election with a true Conservative than win with a RINO. It pizzes me off when a couple of RINOs vote for an issue that is repugnant to me and I hear the words - bipartisan.
I think Mr. Paletta missed the biggest reason Castle lost - he voted for Crap & Tax and would vote for it as Senator.
JD Brooks = shooting himself in the nose to spite his face.
The only good Republican is a RINO.
Make the rhino the new party symbol!
Hold it there. TARP was signed by President Bush. Senators voting Yea 74, Nay 25.
The House vote was 263 Yeas and 172 Nays.
Based on Wikipedia:
The Troubled Asset Relief Program, commonly referred to as TARP or RCP, is a program of the United States government to purchase assets and equity from financial institutions to strengthen its financial sector which was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush on October 3, 2008. It is the largest component of the government's measures in 2008 to address the subprime mortgage crisis.
Originally expected to cost the U.S. Government $356 billion, the most recent estimates of the cost, as of April 12, 2010, is down to $89 billion, which is 42% less than the taxpayers' cost of the Savings and loan crisis of the late 1980s.[1] The cost of that crisis amounted to 3.2% of GDP during the Reagan/Bush era, while the GDP percentage of the current crisis' cost is estimated at less than 1%.[2] While it was once feared the government would be holding companies like GM, AIG and Citigroup for several years, those companies are preparing to buy back the Treasury's stake and emerge from TARP within a year.[3] Of the $245 billion invested in U.S. banks, over $169 billion has been paid back, including $13.7 billion in dividends, interest and other income, along with $4 billion in warrant proceeds as of April 2010. AIG is considered "on track" to pay back $51 billion from divestitures of two units and another $32 billion in securities.[4] In March 2010, GM repaid more than $2 billion to the U.S. and Canadian governments and on April 21 GM announced the entire loan portion of the U.S. and Canadian governments' investments had been paid back in full, with interest, for a total of $8.1 billion.[5]
In a few years the Republicans will probably claim that the US and World economic crisis was resolved by the wisdom and political foresight of President George W. Bush and Mr. Paulson.

Please fill out the form below to send a link to this story to your colleagues.
PHOENIX — A bill is making its way through the Arizona Legislature that would require motorists to stop for school buses on private roads when they have their stop arm extended and their lights flashing for children to board or disembark.
Under current law, motorists are only required to stop for school buses when they're on public roadways and students are entering or exiting. House Bill 2170 would amend the law for it to apply to private roads and driveways as well.
The law would not, however, apply to a bus that is stopped in a parking lot.
In a hearing on the bill last Thursday, Yvonne Hunter, an attorney with the law firm Fennemore Craig, outlined its specifications to Rep. Karen Fann, who was asked to sponsor the bill.
Hunter told Fann that current Arizona law is "somewhat vague in terms of identifying the circumstances under which a school bus, when loading and unloading students, is supposed to engage stop lights and a stop arm or a stop sign. Some of the confusion is when that bus is on a private road or a public road. When we're talking about rural parts of the state, when private roads and public roads aren't always identified, that's an issue."
Hunter went on to say that the purpose of the legislation is to help "add clarity so that all bus drivers be trained as a matter of practice and routine that when they're on a roadway, be it public or private, when they're loading or unloading passengers, they turn on the lights and put out the stop arm."
Fann asked Hunter if there have been any incidents in Arizona where children have been hurt or killed because a law requiring motorists to stop for buses on private roads isn't in place.
"Unfortunately, we do have that in Arizona's history," Hunter said.
(Cronkite News Service reports that Hunter is representing the family of Elizabeth Bates, who was struck by a truck while exiting a school bus inside a mobile home park in 2008.)
Hunter told Fann that another goal of the legislation is to make motorists aware that "some of our most vulnerable population is about to be on the street, and hopefully those … drivers will take the appropriate cautions."
The House Transportation Committee, for which Fann is the vice chairman, approved the bill last Thursday.

Arizona, stop arm running/illegal passing
Just to clarify the information in the story. Drivers on private roads would not be subject to citation for passing a school bus. The law for citing a driver for passing a school bus with lights and a stop sign has not changed and a driver is subject to a citation only when on a public roadway, and other conditions in current law exist.

BUFFALO, N.Y.—A more than 130-mile stretch of the Thruway in western New York has been closed in both directions because of blizzard conditions across the region.
The Thruway Authority says early Tuesday afternoon that Interstate 90 is closed from Exit 46 just south of Rochester to Exit 61 at Ripley, on the Pennsylvania border 60 miles southwest of Buffalo. I-90 between Buffalo and Ripley has been closed since Monday night, but westbound traffic had been allowed to travel until late Tuesday morning as far as Exit 50 just east of Buffalo before having to exit the highway.
State police say all westbound traffic must now leave I-90 at Exit 46, where eastbound traffic is being allowed to enter the highway.
Travel advisories or bans are in effect across western New York.

Paul Mahern recently recorded a new single, "Detroit Boys," with the Zero Boys. / Indianapolis Star file photo
The Zero Boys perform "Civilization's Dying" in 1981:
Today marks the 11th installment of a series that looks at the top musicians, ranked in order, in Indiana history. The list includes representatives of blues, pop, country, hip-hop, R&B, rock, classical, jazz, Broadway and punk rock styles. Look for the No. 14 musician to be unveiled at 7 a.m. tomorrow.
15. Paul Mahern
The Zero Boys' "Vicious Circle" album was made Aug. 18-19, 1981, at Keystone Recording in Indianapolis.
At age 17, Paul Mahern accomplished enough during those two days to earn his spot on a list of top Hoosier musicians.
"Vicious Circle" is a breakneck document of American punk rock, fueled by Mahern's youthful energy and the adept musicianship of guitarist Terry "Hollywood" Howe, bass player David "Tufty" Clough and drummer Mark Cutsinger.
Mahern's adult life has been filled with more time in studios, as he's worked as producer or engineer on recordings by Iggy Pop, John Mellencamp, the Blake Babies, the Rev. Peyton's Big Damn Band and many more.
Born in Indianapolis in 1963, Mahern attended Arsenal Tech High School and played in a garage band when Howe and Cutsinger recruited him for the Zero Boys.
Mahern employed a clarion tenor voice to spit lyrics based on the seedy side of Los Angeles ("Dirty Alleys, Dirty Minds"), the shootings of Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan and John Lennon ("Civilization's Dying") and the oversaturation of the Beatles and Rolling Stones ("Livin' in the '80s").
The Zero Boys didn't become rich or famous, but the band left a mark. In 1982, they shared a concert bill with the Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat in Torrance, Calif. Original Zero Boys records have sold for more than $1,000 on eBay, and 2006 film documentary "American Hardcore: The History of American Punk Rock 1980-1986" included an interview with Mahern and live footage of the band.
In 2009, the Hold Steady's Craig Finn wrote an essay about the Zero Boys for London-based newspaper The Guardian. "The Zero Boys' records are not just incredible punk records, but fascinating artifacts from four Midwesterners who created a mighty racket to be heard above the stifling boredom of young adulthood in America's heartland," Finn wrote. The Hives recorded a cover of "Civilization's Dying" for a 2010 EP titled "Tarred and Feathered."
After the Zero Boys initially called it quits, Mahern led 1980s bands Dandelion Abortion and Datura Seeds.
"Vicious Circle" was released in 1982 on Nimrod Records, and the album has been reissued by four additional labels. The Zero Boys' personnel lineup has included John Mitchell (bass before Clough joined the band) and Vess Ruhtenberg (guitar after Howe's exit).
The current edition of the Zero Boys features Mahern, Cutsinger, guitarist Dave Lawson and bass player Scott Kellogg. Mahern said upcoming 7-inch EP "Detroit Boys" on California-based 1-2-3-4 Go! Records will precede a full-length recording. The last album of new Zero Boys material was 1993's "Heimlich Maneuver."
On New Year's Eve, the Zero Boys will perform at the Melody Inn.
Essential songs: "Civilization's Dying," "Livin' in the '80s," "Dirty Alleys, Dirty Minds. (See the accompanying Spotify playlist).
He said it: In reality, my life hasn't changed that much. I'm still completely surrounded by music and do exactly what I want to do," Mahern told The Indianapolis Star in 2012.
About the series: The list of 25 top Hoosier musicians includes subjective selections by Indianapolis Star reporter David Lindquist. For this list, a Hoosier is defined as someone who helped shape the cultural identity of Indiana or someone whose identity was shaped by the state. Musicians will be revealed every weekday through Jan. 3.

The specialization economy, also know as division of labor, is what makes modern society run. People do what they're good at, get increasingly good at it, and we have a society that can do increasingly complicated things. This makes us avoid things that are "not our job" – when my car is broken, I take it to the mechanic; when my mom's internet stops working, she calls me (forgetting that web entrepreneur != IT guy); and when we're sick, we go to the doctor. If we're really sick, we hope researchers come up with something.
The story of 15 year old Jack Andraka, who created a more efficient test for pancreatic cancer, turns this idea on it's head. Jack hasn't gone through the decades of training of our idea of a researcher, and doesn't have the life experience of school teacher Victoria Knight-McDowell, creator of Airborne. He took concepts from a high school biology class, Google, a year of hard work, and pushed the boundaries of medical research. Seems like a fluke, but is it?
The internet brought about a democratization of knowledge, and with it the rise of micro-experts – folks passionate about a very specific topic not necessarily related to their day job, and have gathered a depth of knowledge. Jack and Victoria are two examples of innovation coming from unlikely sources, and this is just the beginning. I believe innovation will increasingly come from micro-experts, and our task ahead is enabling them and identifying the best ideas.

Looks like there are supply issues for the new Xbox One already. I pre-ordered one on the 29th May and now I have received word from Amazon that there will be issues with the order as there is a delay in getting stock. I am based in the UK and Amazon has a good reputation for getting consoles out on time. I received my Wii U on release day. I ordered the Xbox One before the information on the pre-order hit the mainstream so my pre-order should be near the top of the pile.
The Xbox One is in the news for all the wrong reasons. Following on from the DRM issues, used games, and faking some of the Xbox One reveal. I am looking forward to the Xbox One as Microsoft has been smart regarding some of it's exclusive content. By renewing the Call Of Duty DLC and grabbing exclusive Fifa Ultimate Team content, Microsoft will appeal to the mass market. With the Fifa Ultimate Team content Microsoft could get more users to make the switch to Xbox, as Fifa is regarded as a "PlayStation game" similar to how Call of Duty is regarded as an "Xbox game".
The Xbox One for me is a perfect dad box! Sports (if they bring it to the UK), Call of Duty and Fifa all appeal to me, rightly or wrongly. Pin the more causal games I play with my wife to the side while I play or watch TV! Microsoft is going for the mainstream audience and it has me interested and with their E3 conference next week they will show off their 15 exclusive games which may appeal more to the core gamer.
We will update you when we find anymore information but while you wait you can check out our exclusive list of Top 5 Things to Hope for from Microsoft at E3.

Monson: College football watch lists have become unwatchable
They started out as good things, as badges of honor, as notices of real recognition, as hallmarks of promise.
And then, they became college football's version of quack grass.
Their roots spread. They got out of hand. They popped up in places they shouldn't. And they choked out authentic anticipation for what might come next.
Watch lists.
They're everywhere. They're too many places. They've simultaneously broadened the parameters of where star players begin and where they end and they've cheapened the definition of what a real star is. It's gotten to the point where if a player isn't on a watch list for one award or another, what the hell's wrong with him? The awards, themselves, have multiplied, too.
Trophies a go-go: there's the Heisman, the Outland, the Bronco Nagurski, the Harlon Hill, the Lott, the Rimington, the Sammy Baugh, the William V. Campbell, the Wuerffel, the Burlsworth, the Gagliardi. And the awards: the Butkus, the Lou Groza, the Doak Walker, the John Mackey, the Jim Thorpe, the Maxwell, the Buck Buchanan, the Chuck Bednarik, the Chic Harley, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm, the Jerry Rice, the Walter Payton, the Ted Hendricks, the Fred Biletnikoff, the Ray Guy, and more.
There are awards and/or watch lists for interior linemen, for linebackers, for receivers, for running backs, for tight ends, for defensive backs, for quarterbacks, for kickers, for punters and for players who started out as walk-ons. There are awards for good citizens, for charitable involvement and for players in smaller divisions. There might be a trophy for the player with the best mustache and the best culinary skills.
What's next ⦠the Aaron Hernandez Trophy, hardware given annually to the college player who's charged with committing the most heinous crime?
Who'd be on the watch list for that? Already, everybody's in the pool.
You'd think it pretty cool that two of the state's starting quarterbacks Chuckie Keeton and Taysom Hill are on the Davey O'Brien Award watch list, right? They're a couple of the more exciting college QBs and it seems a sweet deal for them to be included in that group of preseason honorees.
But there are 39 of them.
They're like planes stacked up at LaGuardia.
How bad do you have to be not to make the list?
It is a requirement that all the O'Brien nominees had to start at least one previous game, so there's that high bar to make the early cut.
Everyday, the messages roll into the inbox.
So-and-So, So-and-So and So-and-So from Such-and-Such a school are on somebody's list. Just in the last couple of weeks, they've arrived in bunches.
BYU's Jamal Williams is on the Doak Walker watch list. He's one of 53. He's also on the Maxwell watch list, and the College Football Performance Awards Running Backs watch list, and he's reaped Phil Steele Preseason All-Independent First Team honors.
BYU's Hill has been named to lists for the Heisman, the Maxwell, the CFPA Quarterbacks Trophy, the AFCA Good Works Team. He's been honored with the Phil Steele Preseason All-Independent First Team, the Sporting News Top 25 and as a Touchdown Club of Columbus player to watch.
Cougars Craig Bills and Alani Fua are two of 81 players on the Bronko Nagurski watch list, and Michael Yeck made the Outland list.
USU's Keeton is on about a thousand lists, including a couple for the Heisman, and is a preseason first-team All-MWC selection by Phil Steele and Athlon Sports.
Utah State's Joe Hill is on the Doak Walker watch list. Brian Suite is on the Jim Thorpe watch list. Kyler Fackrell is on the Nagurski list.
Utah's Dres Anderson has made the Biletnikoff and Maxwell watch lists, while Andy Phillips is on the Lou Groza list and Tom Hackett the Ray Guy.
All of those players, along with more not mentioned here on other lists, are terrific at what they do. This is not meant to make fun of them. It's meant more to ridicule the watch-list bonanza, the inclination not just to honor the supposed best at their positions, but to honor 81 or 39 or 53 players at their positions before the season even starts. It's like T-ball. Everybody gets a ribbon. Thanks for playing.
On the other hand, those organizations also issue these lists to drum up publicity for their awards. And, yeah, we're talking about them here. But college football has more than its share of preseason conjecture and hype. Sometimes, it suffers from regular-season and postseason fluff and fiction. What it needs more of is reality and truth.
Beyond that, it's a team sport. Individual awards inside that kind of group effort are almost always overblown. If voters and football clubs, organizations and outlets want to hand out player awards after they've been earned, go ahead, if it must be done. Still, you have to wonder, at times, if they're trying to honor the honorees or honor themselves.
The trophy inflation is already too much, but the ballyhoo and hullabaloo of watch lists are like dandelion seeds blowing in the wind, sullying a yard that would be a whole lot better without them, without the hype.

Victory Gin - Nineteen Eighty-Four George Orwellby Graeme Voigt

If Victory Gin posters and billboards were pasted in the streets of Airstrip One ('Modern-day' London) as much as the ever watchful Big Brother posters, what would the drinks branding look like?
Although the taste of Victory Gin is considered "metallic" and "acidic" it's a luxury item; one of the perks of working in the "Outer Party" (The 'Big Brother' society is ranked from Proles followed by the Outer Party and ending with the Inner Party at the top with the most power).
Design based on the 1949 novel "Nineteen Eighty-four" by George Orwell.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON -- Some Newton County elementary school paraprofessionals and high school graduation coaches would be safe from unemployment, and middle school students would have the option to participate in sports, due to a proposed increase in the school system's millage rate.
Superintendent Steven Whatley said Tuesday night that after NCSS officials and members of the Newton County Board of Education met several times to discuss the 2010-11 school year budget, they decided not to cut some items originally planned for elimination.
In an effort to cut $10 million from its budget, officials last month proposed the elimination of middle school sports to save about $100,000, a reduced contribution to retirement programs and the cutting of at least 165 employee positions. The positions included 80 instructional paraprofessionals at the elementary school level, 14 part-time elementary paraprofessionals, three high school graduation coaches, 61.5 teaching positions, 16 K-12 special educational teaching positions, three high school guidance counselors and three clerical positions and reorganizations of the curriculum and operations departments at the Central Office.
However, on Tuesday during the school board's monthly meeting, Whatley announced that officials decided not to eliminate the 80 full-time paraprofessionals, but they would only work for six hours per day for 178 days, which is the length of a student calendar. He also said officials decided to keep the high school graduation coaches and reduce the NCSS contribution to the 403b retirement plan from 3 percent to 1 percent, instead of to .5 percent.
Whatley also said a portion of the middle school athletics budget will be available, but it must be supplemented by a parent fee that has yet to be determined that will be based on student participation.
He added that the proposed teaching positions and high school guidance counselors still are expected to be cut from the budget.
"This is a tentative budget and can still be changed up until the board votes (on the final budget) in June," Whatley said.
The reduced number of job eliminations is now possible because the school board decided to set the millage rate at 20 mills, the highest amount it is legally allowed to propose. Currently, the millage rate is 18.21 for maintenance and operations. The millage rate includes an additional 1 mill for debt services.
Whatley said although the rate will be increased, many homeowners in Newton County still will pay less in taxes this year than they did last year because home values are expected to drop 10 to 14 percent.
According to the tentative budget the school board approved Tuesday night, the beginning fund balance is $5,869,074. Local revenues are expected to increase about $4 million from last week's proposal to more than $4.85 million due to the millage rate increase, based on estimations. With more than $91 million expected in state and federal revenues, the school board expects to receive $141,826,795 in revenues.
It expects to expend the same, as a balanced budget is required. Instruction costs total $95.4 million, school administration totals almost $8.7 million, student transportation is nearly $8 million and the board expects to end with an almost $5.5 million ending fund balance. Whatley said the ending fund balance -- which is 3.8 percent of the budget, the lowest it has ever been -- has built into it $1.2 million in case the state requires furlough days next school year; the board also approved an employee work calendar that includes six furlough days.
Whatley said these figures could change, as state figures are still preliminary and local figures are only estimates.
Board members can change the presented budget up until they adopt a final version of it on June 15. The board plans to hold public meetings regarding the budget and millage rate increase at 6 p.m. on June 8, 10:30 a.m. on June 9 and 6 p.m. on June 15, as required by the Tax Payers Bill of Rights in the event of a millage rate increase.
The board and school officials met earlier in the day Tuesday to discuss more possible cuts by studying each line item in the budget. Some board members suggested cuts to custodian uniform rentals, drug testing supplements for professional and technical services, the outsourcing of maintenance and grounds work and various travel expenses for schools, clubs and sports. Officials also suggested having one Saturday work program for discipline, instead of four at each high school and Sharp Learning Center. They also decided to hold high school graduation exercises in 2011 at Sharp Field to save $7,500 for using facilities at Church in the Now.

When Daly arrived, a group of Sherman sixth-graders greeted him and others at the door with smiles.
"Welcome to Sherman!" a boy proclaimed.
Sherman PTA President Rickey D. Fields, a single-parent father
of two sons,
spoke of a day when there was no PTA at Sherman and the insides of
the building were not dirty.
"I've seen a complete turnaround," he said. "I can see students who are unfearful of coming to school."
Lionel Allen Jr., principal
of Sherman, likened the school reform movement to the civil rights marches of the 1960s.
"No child should be denied a quality education because
of his or her zip code," he said, praising Daley and the AUSL for their efforts.
In two weeks, CPS has announced grants promising $60 million over the next five years, including $50 million from the Chicago Community Trust. The Gates Foundation money covers the next three years, on top of the approximate $80 million it previously donated to AUSL.
"This stuff does not happen everywhere," said Steve Seleznow, education program director for the Gates Foundation. "We find it easy to come to Chicago bearing gifts."
Daley asked each of those Sherman sixth-graders which high school they wanted to attend, and the fact they could rattle off Kenwood Academy and other schools by name made Daley proud.
"This would have never happened a number of years ago," said
Daley, whose Renaissance 2010 project is cited for improving some schools but creating controversy
at others.
Last week, CPS announced it planned to remake eight underperforming schools as 'turnaround' schools, costing hundreds of teachers and administrators their jobs.
And that's where the Gates Foundation funding will come into
play. AUSL will use the money to transform three CPS high schools
"over the next several years" and to expand its teacher residency
The first of those high schools, pending approval from the CPS board at its Feb. 27 meeting, would be Orr, at 730 N. Pulaski. The Orr campus currently has three high schools: EXCEL-Orr Academy, Applied Arts Science and Technology Academy, and Mose Vines High School, totaling 1,411 students. The proposal would combine all of that into one high school and AUSL would completely replace the staff.
AUSL would also do the same to Orr's two feeder elementary schools, Howe and Morton Career Academy.
"The (turnaround) schools are extraordinary because they've been hand-picked." said Martin J. Koldyke, founder and chairman of AUSL. "We are very serious about this endeavor. We will succeed."
A public hearing for the Orr changes is scheduled for 3 p.m.
Feb. 7 at the CPS Central Office, 125 S. Clark St. But administrators are already preparing for the Orr closing, said CPS head Arne Duncan, because of the amount of work to be done before it reopens as a new school three months later.
AUSL already manages eight schools and academies, in partnership with CPS, including the first-year National Teacher's Academy. Many of the teachers for Orr or other project schools are likely to come from that academy, unified as a group.
Teachers who are accepted into the AUSL residency program are trained at CPS schools, are assigned to mentor teachers, work toward a Master's degree and receive a training salary of $32,000. With that, teachers agree to a five-year commitment to teach in an underperforming CPS school. To date, AUSL has trained nearly 250 teachers.
