To Frack or not
Hot from the success of ruining the live cattle export business in North Australia, 4Corners is continuing to govern the country by targeting Coal Seam Gas. With only six months left for their shrill bleatings to have any chance of success while there is a dysfunctional government in power, the pressure is on.
Billions to be made by business and the government and some want it stopped based on emotional, ideological and anecdotal campaigns run by SBS, the ABC and the Greens movement.
Greenie whistleblower, Simone Marsh, a left over from the Bligh debacle, calls on Environment Minister Burke to reneg on previously approved projects claiming the approval process was rushed. Surprisingly, the approvals were given during Blighs reign but I feel they are now being pushed by LNP. I hope so, anyway.
Drew Sutton from Lock the Gate is also quoted. The aim of these activists is to close down the coal and gas industries which seems to me to be a contradiction in ideals. We need power generation and it can be fueled by coal or natural gas. Gas is a lot cleaner than coal and will reduce greenhouse gases so you'd expect the Greenies to be all over it.
Not so!
If you get your opinions from the SBS and the ABC then you need to broaden your knowledge base. This article from a Colorado College touches on the pros and cons of fracking. A sample quote;
The U.S. is at a 20-year low in greenhouse gas emissions. This reduction did not occur due to cap and trade legislation, which we've been unable to pass due both to a lagging economy and stalemate in Congress. Instead, the two-decade low in emissions is due to the implementation of policies limiting the use of coal in electrical generation, and the abundance of low cost natural gas that has encouraged the phasing out of coal-fired power plants. The immediate 50 percent reduction in carbon output from transitioning coal plants to natural gas is a variable in the fracking equation that must not go overlooked.
American University Radio has transcripts of programs headed " Debating the Pros and Cons of Fracking" It is a short read but what it does do is point out that a lot of opposition to fracking is anecdotal.
"Most evidence brought for this anecdotal in nature, one person complains there's an issue," says Cobbs. "Studies have not born that out, and in fact the opposite's been shown that it can be done safely. In Arkansas, the United States Geological Survey conducted a survey of 127 private or domestic [water] wells in an area that has been highly developed. Over 4,000 production [natural gas] wells have been put in this area over the last 6 to 8 years, and no damage done to the water in those areas."
I refer to the US because they have been doing it for years and state economies have flourished, greenhouse gas production has fallen, thousands of people are being employed and businesses, and governments, via taxation,are making money.
To most rational people thats a win-win. To Greenies it's sacrilige.
Newman should just ignore them and get on with getting the state up and running again after decades of this type of greentape bullshit. Environment Minister Burke should just stay in his office and contemplate life after 14 September and not step out and destroy another industry as his government has tended to previously, as they govern via Twitter and 4Corners.
Gunns going under
The Greens have won again in Tasmania. Gunns Ltd has entered voluntary liquidation – music to the Greens ears but not so to the 645 odd Gunns staff.
If we could just encourage all Greens to move to Tassie we could isolate the disease and keep it out of the mainland.
Trouble is, there everywhere.
Closing the stable door
The ALP/Earthian Greens are having a lover's tiff. Personally I think it's all spin as the ALP look to justify their behaviour over the last couple of years and struggle to pick up votes from the left….or anywhere for that matter.
Gillard knowingly got into bed with these guys and the played the beast with two backs to guarantee her holding onto the treasury keys. It's no good suddenly discovering that the Green Earthians are a dangerous, radical left wing bunch of tossers because we know, by her behaviour, that Gillard is all that and more.
The 'more' of course, refers to her incompetency.
Apparently the 'blame Abbott' protocol isn't working so Labor leaders are lining up to take shots at the Greens and confront their influence on the government.
GREG Combet, the man in charge of negotiating the carbon tax with the Greens, says Labor does not share the same values as its partners in minority government.
Mate! How can you say that when you negotiated the carbon tax with them.
Paul Howes has lots to say, up to and including, calling them 'loopy';
They have got away with their grab-bag of loopy and out-there policies for years. They've got away with it by being passed off as a group of eccentric but basically harmless hippies.
People assumed that the Greens might have some weird ideas, but they are never going to run the show, so we don't need to worry about them.
Well, we can no longer afford to be so complacent.
But apparently it was OK to be complacent when you and your mob turned back the covers and got into bed with them
Paul also mentions the Green Earthian's idea of sport, just in case some rugby league guys read the front pages of the newspapers;
There probably wouldn't even be a State of Origin – we'd just sit around with Queenslanders and play pass the parcel. After all, the Greens in NSW have a policy of promoting "non-competitive sports" such as yoga, dance, trampolining and tai chi over the traditional sports that Australian children enjoy playing.
As their policy explains, the Greens "believe too much emphasis is placed on full body contact sports often causing unnecessary physical damage and confining opportunities for participation to the athletic elite."
Leader Gillard has suddenly discovered the green Earthians don't share everyday Australian's values;
"The Greens will never embrace Labor's delight at sharing the values of everyday Australians, in our cities, suburbs, towns and bush, who day after day do the right thing, leading purposeful and dignified lives, driven by love of family and nation," she said.
"The differences between Labor and the Greens take many forms but at the bottom of it are two vital ones. The Greens wrongly reject the moral imperative to a strong economy.
A picture of the Greens and ALP not sharing values;
Lots of Green Earthians said things but nothing they say is worth repeating so I wont.
Resource projects stalling
ONE in five new resources projects are stalling because unions are refusing to strike workplace agreements, putting pressure on companies to accept exorbitant wage claims or risk damaging investor confidence in the $500 billion pipeline of potential projects.
The other four resource projects are trying to work out how to pay the MRRT, how much the Carbon Tax will hurt them and whether they just should look at investing more overseas until this government is kicked out. Another 550 days could be just more than most bottom lines can stand.
Just another day in a ALP/Green Earthian socialist utopia.
Responsibility outsourced
A TENTH asylum-seeker vessel in a week has arrived in Australian waters, as people-smuggling looms as a major issue in Julia Gillard's talks today with Indonesia.
Just so you get the picture…..that's TEN vessels in a week and SIX in 3 days knifing through the soft butter of our borders
Amid the ongoing political impasse over border protection, Home Affairs Minister Jason Clare said authorities had intercepted a sixth asylum-seeker boat in 72 hours, this one carrying around 39 people.
Come on, Julia…pick up the phone and talk to Narau. Admit you were wrong to undo Howard's plan and make a command decision. People may give you a little credit back if you try and fix it. It's not Abbott's fault, it is yours.
Outsourcing the problem to Houston et al is simply an abrogation of responsibility.
You are the leader……Lead!
Mr Houston will be joined by refugee policy expert Paris Aristotle and former Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Secretary Michael L'Estrange.
"They will act independently. They will form their own views based on the evidence and the facts," Ms Gillard told said in Canberra.
No they wont. If you have selected them then we already know the answer.
Even Swan of the two weetbix receipt idiocy knows deep down something has to be done and the government must do it.
So do something already. You can not let it simmer over the winter break.
Swan takes us for fools
TREASURER Wayne Swan has responded to criticism of one of Australia's most controversial and complex taxes by proving the price of Weet-Bix has not risen overnight.
Speaking at Woolworths Nundah – opposite his north Brisbane electorate office – yesterday, Mr Swan said fears the tax would send the cost of groceries soaring had been exposed as "lies". And he had the shopping bags to prove it.
That's weird. No one is claiming grocery prices will soar on day one. The idiot has picked an item that wasn't going to cost more and claim because it doesn't cost more on day one of the Carbon Tax that proves that all claims that the tax is going to ramp up costs are therefore lies.
What twisted logic is that? The pic in the Courier Mail of Swanee holding two receipts with little difference other than the post Carbon Tax one is cents cheaper may appeal to those rusted on non thinking, shoe size IQ followers but really…come on…
On Friday evening, Mr Swan visited the supermarket and bought 11 items at a cost of $35.30. Yesterday morning, he bought the same items for $35.10.
Maybe Steve at the Pub (previous post) could do something similar but much more relevant. A picture of him holding last years refrigerant bill of $20k and next years anticipated bill of $170k would place Swanee's picture of two weetbix receipts where they belong.
In the unmitigated bullshit list.
It begins
From The Public House
The product supplied by this man, a non-saleable item for which there is no alternative, currently costs the Wayside Tavern $20,000 per year.
Tomorrow that price rises to One Hundred and Seventy Thousand Dollars per year.
The product? Refrigerant gas.
Bet that doesn't get reported in the media.
Newman drops Feed-in-Tariff
The Greens are going to hate this. Newman has changed the generous incentives for installing solar panels and returning power to the electricity grid.
New installations will receive a feed-back tariff of 8c down from 44c a kW/h. I've been warning all and sundry that this had to happen as it was simply unsustainable both economically and socially. Somebody has to pay the .44c and it falls on those who can't afford to fill their roofs with solar panels – the poor and the battling Mum and Dad pensioners. Power companies have to balance their books and buying for .44c and selling for .22 ain't going to cut it.
However, all is not lost;
Mr McArdle said households that lodged an Inverter Energy System connection application by midnight on July 9 would still be eligible for the 44 cents per kW/h tariff.
Feed in Tariffs involve a subsidy, incurring costs that need to be recovered from higher electricity prices or the state budget. The NSW government, in their plan to rid the taxpayer of ALP/Earthian Green economic nightmare, tasked IPART with sorting out the problem and making recommendations to the government, They were :
…. asked IPART to recommend a 'fair and reasonable' value for a feed-in tariff for customers
who export electricity to the grid but are not eligible for the Solar Bonus Scheme, and
a mechanism to implement this value in NSW. However, it stipulated that our recommendations:
should not result in an increase in electricity prices in NSW, and
should not require funding from the NSW Government budget.
In other words, any future feed-in tariff for these customers must be subsidy-free.
That is obviously where Newman is coming from as his new installation tariff of .8c a kW/h is similar to the IPART recommendation of 5.2 to 10.3 c/kWh. You can download the IPART report here
For all the non-thinkers and Green Earthians railing at Newman for "the broken promise" they need to realize a couple of hard truths.
1. You should be yelling at Bligh, not Newman. She has left the state in such a parlous situation that hard decisions have to be made. By the 2015/16 financial year, almost 10 per cent, or $5.3 billion, of state revenue will be spent paying interest on Queensland's $92 billion debt. The selfish pricks should realize that there are no free dinners. Someone always has to pay and it should be the individual, not the poor folk or the subsidized taxpayer.
2. The Earthian Greens Renewable Energy Program and Carbon Tax are already going to cost us dearly and are a part of the increasing utility bill. As ever is the case, any plan from these guys doesn't have a "Law of unintended consequences" factored in – It is uncontrolled, millions doled out to Earthian Green church members without any guarantee of results other that 'I feel good"
Newman is obliged to try and balance the books and with the state debt sitting at $80b and rising something has to be done. All the ALP/Green plans never take costs into calculations – it is all just money to Giai – she deserves it more than us humans. But hey, Hippy, the rent always falls due.
He is not actually cancelling Feed in Tariffs. If you have a current system, or have lodged your application by July 9 then you get .44c. It's just new installations that will receive tariffs that don't cost the poor folk or the state budget money.
I have contracted to have solar put on my roof, not because I feel a need to save the planet, but simply because all the ALP/Green Earthian wacky plans are raising the cost of services for no benefit. I don't want some poor bastard to subsidise my power bills and I don't want it lumbered on an already financially troubled state.
Gina Rinehart has them jumping
Wayne Swan yesterday sharpened his attack on the mining billionaire by suggesting her designs on Fairfax Media endangered democracy.
The biggest threat to democracy is the fact that Swan made that statement.
Fairfax are in trouble because the people stopped buying their newspaper and I would suggest the reason is that they were catering to a small inner city market that enjoyed reading about the evils of conservatives as they sipped their latte.
To continually support a government as bad as we have now is economic and ideological nonsense. To not call the government to order over even one of their many incompetent, class driven stuff-ups is head-in-the-sand reporting and by definition looses readership.
Gina Rinehart's involvement is driving the ALP/Green Earthians crazy.
Victorian MP Steve Gibbons called for laws to empower a new authority to oversee media behaviour and impose harsh penalties on those who breached standards.
I presume "breaching standards" only refers to media that refuse to sign up to the ALP supporters group.
The motion, which Mr Gibbons wanted to be debated in parliament on Monday, argues that the media industry has lost its "social licence to operate" and must face greater government control. "Concentration of news media ownership in the hands of a few represents, prima facie, a competitive market failure requiring compensatory regulation to ensure socially acceptable outcomes," his motion states.
This is dangerous. We don't want the government interfering in media control. We already have a media control mechanism in place – if the readers don't like what they read, they stop buying the newspaper.
Gina Rinehart wants board representation for her money and she is entitled to it. It also appears she isn't interested in abiding with Fairfax charter of editorial independence.
So what. The charter isn't the driving force of what appears in the press. It is the mindset of the Editor and journalists that drive copy. If the majority ownership on the board don't like the editorial stand then they can be easily replaced.
And I suspect there will be some replacements in coming days.
The Green Earthians Ludlam shows just how out of touch with the world he is;
Greens senator Scott Ludlam wrote yesterday to Senator Conroy and opposition communications spokesman Malcolm Turnbull, asking them to back legislation that would impose fines or other penalties on Mrs Rinehart if she breached the Fairfax charter.
The Fairfax charter isn't a law, you dropkick. It's a feel good statement to try and head off any conservative writings in Fairfax media. You can't legislate against something that isn't already legislated.
What next, a law to ban Andrew bolt from ever having a position with Fairfax?
Here's something else for the ALP/Green Earthians to panic about. News Corporation has made a bid for Fox News.
For News, a successful bid would double its stake in pay TV business Foxtel to 50 per cent
Great stuff all round.
You're not silly Ron
Ron Pike, Coffs Harbour, NSW writes to the Editor of The Australian
I MUST be a bit silly because I can't fathom all this green stuff.
We stop building dams and power stations and make water and electricity more expensive. We shut down the sustainable logging industry and import more timber. We truncate our irrigated agriculture and import more food.
Now it seems we must pay our fishers to stop fishing and import most of our fish.
This all results in a loss of productive taxpaying jobs that are replaced with unproductive taxpayer-funded jobs.
Then we import more people to share in our diminished productive capacity to produce the staples of life.
I think I will have to go back to one of these progressive schools and learn about this green stuff.
Going to a progressive school wont help you Ron as you have to suspend all belief in human development and to place humans down the evolutionary tree below all endangered species. You sound to pragmatic to ever graduate from such an establishment.

HMRC renews Aspire deal to save £110m
HM Revenue & Customs will save £110m a year without cutting jobs as a result of a revised Aspire contract...
This Article Covers
IT efficiency
HM Revenue & Customs will save £110m a year without cutting jobs as a result of a revised Aspire contract with lead outsourcer Capgemini.
The department spends about £740m a year on IT. The original Aspire contract between the department, Capgemini, Fujitsu and BT was one of the biggest outsourcing deals, worth £2.6bn, when it was signed in 2004. The life-time value has now risen to £8.5bn.
According to an HMRC official, the savings will come from modernisation and scrapping legacy systems from the merger between Customs & Excise and Inland Revenue.
The revised deal runs until 2017, and comes on top of savings worth £70m during the first five years of the original 10-year contract.
HMRC CEO Lesley Strathie said the deal was just one of the ways HMRC would cut operating costs. "It signals the intent to bring IT costs down, as announced in the 2009 Budget," he said.
HMRC lost the personal and bank account details of 25 million people who were receiving child benefits when two CDs containing the data went missing. They have never been found.

Tamron AF via LA-EA1
Apologies if this has already been discussed to death, but I was wondering whether the new firmware update for the LA-EA1 allows the use of AF on the Tamron lenses?
I appreciate it may be slow to focus, but am thinking that the Tamron 18-270mm F/3.5-6.3 + the LA-EA1 is still (far) cheaper then getting the SEL-18200.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Duclos is a resident of Chapel Hill, N.C., and is in her second year studying physical therapy at the University of North Carolina. She said recovery from her injuries, including a shattered femur, slowed her education.
And if not for a detour through New York City, she said she may have never been shot.
She explained she had arrived by train at Grand Central Terminal and was walking with a friend across town to Pennsylvania Station to catch another train to a family reunion in New Jersey when she was shot as she crossed Fifth Avenue and 34th Street.
"I started to hear what I thought were gunshots," she said. "Everything happened really quickly. People were starting to run, screaming and yelling."
Moments later she felt what seemed like a punch to her left hip.
"All of a sudden I was on the ground," she said. "I couldn't move my leg; I knew I was hit by something but it was really hard to connect with the idea it would be a bullet."
She said she is still working with physical therapists on regaining her mobility, only using a crutch when absolutely necessary.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

The lay of the land
As I drove the few kilometres to my hotel, the late-summer landscape was dusty and arid. Although its name derives from the Latin word for grain, frumentum, for much of the year the island looks anything but fertile. Dry-stone walls, dirt tracks; here a palm tree, there a thicket of prickly pear scattered with bright orange fruit. The fig trees splayed out into huge, low umbrellas, held up by sticks, create islands of shade in which scrawny sheep, so thin they might be goats, pick idly among the dry stalks of maize.
From time to time you might see a simple, pitched-roofed farmhouse - quite unlike the cuboid, whitewashed forms of Ibiza's traditional rural houses. There is a good deal of new building going on, but most of it is low-rise and discreet; holiday houses are tucked away among the scrubby pines. Every now and then, a cloud of dust betrays a vehicle passing in the distance.

Maneatis makes quick ascent
By: Todd Mordhorst Journal Sports Editor
Freshman fights through tough conditions to vault into state championships
The winds were whipping last week at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Track and Field Championships and pole vaulters cringed as they walked toward the pit at Elk Grove High. It didn?t look good for a light-as-a-feather freshman competing in the biggest competition of her life. Melissa Maneatis didn?t seem to mind. The Del Oro ninth grader fought through the breeze, the nervousness and the stiff competition to match a mark set by one of her heroes four years ago. Maneatis placed second at Masters to secure a berth to Friday?s CIF State Championships. She cleared 11 feet, 5 inches and joined Mackenzi Landry as Del Oro freshmen to make it to the state meet in the pole vault. ?I?ve always looked up to her,? Maneatis said of Landry, who is now competing at Cal. ?I want to be as good as her, eventually.? Maneatis (pronounced mann-y-ah-tis) got a nice head start in her pole vaulting career thanks to a friendly neighbor. Curt Roth, the father of three-time NCAA champion vaulter Scott Roth, lives across the street from the Maneatis family in Granite Bay. He talked Melissa and her sister Jennifer into giving the pole vault a try and they?ve spent countless hours in Roth?s backyard training over the past several years. ?It?s convenient ? it?s right across the street,? Maneatis said. ?Pole vaulting is awesome. Not a lot of people do it and it?s not like other sports. It?s different. It?s really a challenge, but I enjoy it.? Maneatis began to peak earlier this month, clearing a career-best 11-8 to win the SJS Division II-III championship. Her sister struggled with the tough conditions at Masters and will turn her attention to powder puff football this weekend while Melissa is taking on the top vaulters in the state, including Placer junior Shelby Crider, who was third at Masters. Del Oro track and field coach Dustin Fee said he wasn?t surprised to see Maneatis come up big at Masters. ?She?s been improving constantly and she?s ahead of schedule,? Fee said. ?Talking to her coach, they have plans for years out. She?s a very young girl with a very big dream. She?s following a guideline and she?s hit every goal.? Maneatis said she doesn?t have a specific goal in mind for the state championships, but she is jumping on bigger poles and hopes to contend, at least for a spot in Saturday?s final. Ultimately, she has her sights set on Landry?s school record of 13-1. It?s a lofty goal for the fragile-looking freshman. But Fee said her slender frame is deceiving. ?The girl?s actually got phenomenal core strength and that?s what the event comes down to,? the coach said. ?She?s got decent size for what she needs to be doing and it?s easy for her to get up in the air. She appears to be tiny, but she?s really strong ? like a piano string.? Maneatis got a taste of big-meet competition last summer when she placed third at the Junior Olympics in Kansas. But the CIF State meet will be a major step up in competition as the top 27 vaulters from all over the Golden State vie for the title. Maneatis will enjoy plenty of company as Del Oro teammates Brie Simmons, Amy Heyn, Dominique Tristant, Sydney Proiette and Kristen Schumacher will all join her at state. ?I?m really excited to go with my friends, my teammates,? Maneatis said. ?It?s going to be awesome.?

CBBQA Member Team - Que Que Ka-Choo
Howdy Folks...Soon as I get this WIKI thing figured out I'll add some cool stuff. For now I'll just let you know I'm pretty much a one man team from Folsom California. You may have heard of our prison from Johhny Cash.
I started cooking in competitively in 2007 in Fairfield, almost by accident. Met a lot of nice people and had a lot of fun, so thought it might be a good place to spend a little time (and a lot of money).
People say to me all the time "Pat, (although my name is David) what's with the goofy team name." Well, I've always been a fan of the Beatles, and music in general. And, I cook on Big Gree Eggs…so I combined the two into a clever little pun that's lost on about everyone…I am the Egg man, I am the Walrus…Que Que Ka Choo (although I think the real lyrics are "goo goo ga joob" which makes about the same about of sense as my co-opted name.
We're returning to Fairfield this year for our second KCBS competition. If you're there and have a chance stop by and say hello.

Part of the largest grassroots environmental organization in the country, Sierra Club Outings provides environmentally friendly outdoor adventures—from Tahoe to Tibet—for people of all ages, abilities, and interests. We've been doing it for more than a century, ever since Sierra Club founder John Muir discovered an essential truth while out hiking the high country: If you want people to go to bat for the environment, you've got to get them into the wilderness. He said back in 1901:
"If people in general could be got into the woods, even for once, to hear the trees speak for themselves, all difficulties in the way of forest preservation would vanish"
That's always been the guiding principle here, and it's resulted in a lot of excellent trips, year after year. But there's another thing that sets our program apart: the volunteer leaders who scout, plan, and lead all of our outings. Nobody pays them for their efforts. They do it out of an appreciation for these special places, and a passion for sharing them with you. Got a question about a trip? Our leaders have the answers, and they're more than willing to fill you in. Just check the biographies at the bottom of our trip brochures for the leader's e-mail address. If you'd prefer to speak to a leader by phone, just contact us and we'll set you up. There's no shortage of reasons to travel with us, but here's a final one. No matter where we are—whether swinging from a zip line in Costa Rica, repairing a trail in New Mexico, or puffing up a switchback in the Cascades—we never forget the Sierra Club's mission: to explore, enjoy, and protect the planet. Over the years, we've found that these ideals mesh pretty well. Why not join us on a trip and find out for yourself?

Integrate Omega Email Archiving into any of our email hosting products and obtain peace of mind knowing your administrators can quickly restore lost email, take advantage of sophisticated search tools, and protect your vital email data - without extra software or expensive hardware. No matter what the size of your company, you no longer need to struggle with email storage.
Easy to Use
More and more organizations are realizing the benefits of off-site, geographically distributed email archiving. In the past, cost and complexity have been a barrier, particularly for smaller organizations. Today, with Omega Email Archiving services, enterprise email archiving is easily implemented, highly cost-effective and nearly maintenance-free.
The ever-growing volume of email puts more and more strain on an organization's email infrastructure. Omega Email Archiving relieves the burden on groaning email infrastructures, removing or delaying costly investments in hardware upgrades and saving the maintenance headaches of reliably maintaining important email.
Email contains some of the most valuable information within an organization, providing a record of internal and external communications across the company over a period of years. Omega Email Archiving's advanced easy to use search mechanisms, along with manual or automatic tagging of messages, makes it simple to find the information you are looking for.
For many organizations, government or industry regulations require the retention of email communications for years. Omega Email Archiving helps meet these requirements with message retention for up to 10 years, customizable retention policies, tamperproof storage and full audit logs.
The cloud-based, geographically distributed infrastructure of Omega Email Archiving means that if disaster strikes, your valuable email history isn't threatened. Messages can be exported from the archive service in EML, MBOX, or PST formats.
When disputes or litigation occur, having a verifiable archive of email communications is often critical in proving who said what and when. The Omega Email Archiving Legal Hold feature allows selected messages to be retained past their normal retention period in order to meet legal preservation needs.
When bundled with Omega Email Defense, Omega Email Archiving provides an integrated solution and a single console for email security, email continuity, and email archive. Users can access quarantined messages and queued messages when their own email infrastructure is offline, as well as their archived messages, all in one place.

I wanted to share an experience I've been going through after one of my sites was infected with malware. I've been involved in search marketing for the past six years and have been lucky enough to have never had a site hacked. But, alas, all good things must come to an end.
About two weeks ago, one of my sites was the target of malevolent hackers. I became aware of the security breach when I visited the SERPs and saw that Google was displaying the toxic "This site may harm your computer" warning, which looks like this (NOTE: this is NOT my website listing...it's just an example):
When users click on "This site may harm your computer" link, it leads them to a Google support page. If you miss the warning and click on the actual site listing, you're redirected to an interstitial webpage that blocks you from accessing the infected site.
Initial Malware Fallout
Beyond getting the badware removed ASAP, my initial concerns when seeing that the site had been hacked were:
- Loss in traffic: I knew traffic to the site would come to a standstill. That's a given. Anyone seeing the virus hack warning in the SERPs isn't going to click on my listing.
- Brand damage: Having Google label my site "harmful" would most certainly have a deleterious effect on my "brand." So the quicker the SERP warning was removed, the better.
- Rankings penalty (???): With my knowledge of Google and Google policies, I was concerned the site might experience a rankings ding once it was recrawled, even after the malicious code was removed.
So the security breach turned out to be a hidden iframe exploit. I worked with the hosting provider got the malware removed quickly (within a day of being discovered). During that time, traffic flatlined (as expected) but rankings remained stable. Once I knew the site was clean, I submitted for a review in Google Webmaster Tools. The site was given a clean bill of health and within 24 hours the SERP warning was removed and everything seemed like it was back to normal.
That is until this week.
Residual Effects: Malware Rankings Penalty?
Roughly two weeks after the malware incident, my site has experienced a sudden and massive freefall in the SERPs. I'm assuming this is due to the malware event and we're finally experiencing the fallout. I don't know what else it could be since the site is squeaky clean, white hat, fresh as the driven snow. There are no paid links or link wheel shenanigans that would warrant a site penalty. So I'm 99% sure this is malware-related.
As for the effect of the suspected rankings penalty, it's pretty gruesome. I track 40 competitive "head terms" for this website and here's a quick overview of the carnage.
The above chart shows that the average rankings for my 40 keywords before the malware attack was "7." Yes, this site ranked extremely well in the SERPs. Then two weeks after removal, this site rankings plummeted for these 40 terms an average of 116 positions.
As an aside, if you want to perform your own average rank changes in Excel for keywords you track, here are the formulas (note: the formulas are set for a list of 40 terms, so adjust based on how many cells/terms you use):
Cell A: Keywords you're tracking
Cell B: [=SUM(B2:B40)/38]
Cell C: [=SUM(C2:C40)/38]
Cell D: [=SUM(D2:D40)/38]
To try and right the ship, I've submitted for a reconsideration request. Typically this is reserved for sites that have violated the Google Webmaster Guidelines, but it was recommended in this post, "Hey Google, I no longer have badware," on Google Webmaster Central Blog.
From Google's perspective, I guess I can see the logic behind penalizing sites that have experienced security breaches. Even though the malicious script on my site was not added intentionally by me, it did, nonetheless, host hidden malware that violated Google's guidelines. So I figure a reconsideration request is worth a shot, and at least I'm taking some sort of action to try and get this resolved.
My theory is that, if after a few recrawls the site is still clean, then rankings will be "reinstated," for lack of a better term. During my research, I've only come across a handful of accounts from other SEOs who say they'd experienced a "90 day ranking penalty" following similar malware attacks, but I've yet to read confirmation from anyone at Google that this is the case. On the flipside, the majority of SEOs I've spoken with have never seen a rankings penalty following a hack, so if this IS the case for my site, it's an unusual one.
That said, if anyone has any thoughts to share on this from their own experiences, that would be fantastic (and helpful) since I'm still suffering the penalty and I think it's something we can all learn from. Call it a cautionary tale.
So what do you do if your site has been hacked?
Try these resources:
- My Site has been Hacked, Now What? (Google Webmaster Central)
- Requesting Site Reconsiderations (Google Webmaster Central - includes folks complaining about incurring a penalty from malware-related issues)
- Badwarebusters.org (excellent community to help you with your site hack...make sure to leave a donation if they lend a helping hand)
How do prevent a hack from happening?
Try these resources:
- 43 Excellent WordPress Security Tips and Plugins (awesome resource for keeping WordPress secure)
- About Server Hacks (great thread over at Webmaster World about the various types of server hacks from the legendary Tedster)
- Link Injections: WordPress Security (Richard Baxter had a great article on protecting your site from link injections)
- Tips for Cleaning & Securing Your Website (StopBadware.org is a fantastic resource)
Also, make sure you backup your files religiously. If you use WordPress, this is a great resource: Online Backup For WordPress.
Finally, if you use WordPress, make sure the version you're using is up-to-date and that you've updated your plugins as well (which is usually where the hackers gain access) and removed any that you're not using.
A Business Opportunity?
Another fine article about the nuts and bolts of online marketing: cleaning up a malwared website and the aftermath of dealing with Google's assessment of your site.
Someone like you can resolve this problem for his own site. Large corporations can assign a swat team to resolve these problems.
But I wonder what understaffed mid-size firms do to resolve this problem?
I wonder how you would search for websites that have this problem? There must be a business opportunity in there somewhere...
Good point, Richard.
Better yet, instead of looking for infected sites, you can infect them first and then shoot them an email offering your malware removal services.
It's kind of how the Mob operates when they sell "protection" services. Protection from whom? Protection from the Mob.
Yup there are teams like that that trouble-shoot Malware attacks and injections. BUT no, they don't do it mob style (lol) there's a strong belief in karma...More like the SWAT style where they get called to the scene.
We had that happen to a lot of sites we were hosting and got them running right. When we learned more about Malware attacks and what hackers get out of it, your post made me think that they really scrape your traffic and you can only watch as it happens. Give it a few more days or weeks and double up on your SEO- all will be set right. BTW why not get the plug-in from WordPress that automatically upgrades your site to the newest version as it becomes available? Wish you all the best!
Hey, David.
Thanks for dropping by. I didn't know that plugin existed, but I'm installing it now.
Thanks for the tip.
We just had the exact same thing happen to our sites.
We have removed the malware and we submitted our sites for reconsideration.
Did your rankings get back to normal? If so, how long did it take?
Hey, Raymond.
So I never did submit for reconsideration. I wanted to wait until I saw evidence of another recrawl before I did that.
Just to update everyone, the penalty or "time out" has been lifted and the site is back to the pre-malware rankings.
To recap, it took about 10 days for the penalty to get lifted. Looks like the site was crawled again and got a clean bill of health, so all was forgiven. All I can figure is this was some sort of probationary penalty for sites that get infected.
I would also assume that if the site were to get infected again, it would incur a more severe penalty, given it already has one strike. That's just pure speculation on my part, but it would seem logical.
Just discovering your site but helpful information here!
very useful information about a topic not much is written about.my site got a malwarn warning today, source was one of my advertisers iframe code. we removed the malicious code within 6 hours and requested and submitted a review through google in google webmasters. within 6 hours after our request our site was accessible in chrome and firefox again, without the warning page. however to visitors clicking from google on our results still a warning page is shown. i guess this will take some more hours before it's updated all over google's servers.however currently thats not my biggest worry... that loss of hits for a day, fine ill have to accept that. what worries me more is that when i search for keywords that most of my traffic was coming from the ranking decreased significantly. for all words i was listed on #1 page, my result is moved down to #7 or even lower. it makes sense google penalizes sites while they have a malware warning going on.im just keeping my fingers crossed that once that warning is gone, rankings will be recovered immediately or that i have to build it up from the scratch again. Did everybody here got FULLY recovered after the mallware attack?Thanks,Paul

I recently concluded a yearlong experiment to track what I ate on a daily basis, not to count calories but to measure, and manage, my environmental impact.
As a sustainability consultant, I've counseled clients that "you can only manage what you measure." But I've not as rigorously applied this adage to my personal life. So, to borrow another, I decided to practice what I preached.
I'll get to the data shortly—no consulting effort is complete without a graph or two. But beyond the statistics, I gleaned the following insights from this endeavor.
First, the simple process of recording* my lunch and dinners (despite it being the most important meal of the day, I don't typically eat breakfast and didn't want to pad the stats with the occasional "vegetarian meal" of a banana) sparked conscious deliberation over literally every meal choice I made. Such deliberateness brought back front and center considerations that have become, with the rise of commercial-scale food production, so far removed from the dining process generally, and my dining experience in particular.
Second, I quickly became hooked on seeing my stats tick up (or down). This competitiveness did what guilt and intellectual awareness couldn't—an awareness dating back to …

"Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy."
– Joseph Campbell
Last week I spent Monday driving through a few states. It was an eight hour drive. When possible, I prefer driving over flying. While it may take longer, I use the time to listen to podcasts. Since I had taken the SANS System Forensics, Investigation & Response course (SEC 508), I had access to their lectures in MP3 format. The lecture on Computer Investigative Law for Forensic Analysts was prepared and taught by Richard P. Salgado. I had taken the course at a Community SANS event, close to where my brother lives. Yes, I was trying to keep my expenses down, and my brother and his family were kind enough to put me up for the week. While the course was well taught, knowledge of the legal issues of forensics was not the instructors strong point. This was reflected by the fact that the students hated that day. If only they had Richard P. Salgado. He did an amazing job.
Why am I mentioning this on a blog posting on intrusion detection systems (IDS)? The law has an ever increasing role in IT. This is especially true in the area of forensics, incident response, and intrusion detection/prevention. Before you setup any IDS system, make sure you are authorized and legally clear to do so.
With that disclaimer out of the way, I spent the weekend beginning to develop a network monitoring system. Sure, for years I have worked with Snort, but I am doing something different. For those unfamiliar with Snort, to quote their site:
Snort® is an open source network intrusion prevention and detection system utilizing a rule-driven language, which combines the benefits of signature, protocol and anomaly based inspection methods. With millions of downloads to date, Snort is the most widely deployed intrusion detection and prevention technology worldwide and has become the de facto standard for the industry.
It is a great product. Along with Snort, I have used the Basic Analysis and Security Engine (BASE), which is based on the Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) project. BASE provides a web front-end to query and analyze the alerts coming from a SNORT IDS system. If you are pulling down software, I also suggest checking out Sguil.
Richard Bejtlich recently posted on his blog, TaoSecurity, an entry titled "DHS Einstein Demonstrates Value of Session Data." Richard makes the statement, in relation to collecting session data:
This is just the sort of project I'd like to roll out at my new job, possibly combining Argus with ArgusEye, or maybe just Sguil without Snort.
An intriguing project. This weekend was about setting up an IDS system using Bro. To understand the importance of Bro, you need to first review the different styles of intrusion detection.
- Signature Based – looks for specific, known attacks.
- Pros: good attack libraries, easy to understand results.
- Cons: unable to detect new attacks or even just variants.
- Anomaly Detection – build/infer a profile of "normal use" and flag deviations.
- Pros: potentially detects wide rand of attacks, including previously unknown types of attacks.
- Cons: can be "trained" to accept attacks as normal, and potentially misses a wide rand of attacks including known attacks.
- Activity Based – inspect traffic and construct "events," look for patterns of activity that deviate from a site policy.
- Pros: potentially detects wide range of attacks (including novel), framework can accommodate signatures and anomalies.
- Cons: policies/specification require significant development and maintenance and harder to construct attack libraries
Snort is a signature based IDS. Bro is an activity based IDS, though it does include a signature engine for matching specific patterns in packet streams. Bro is compatible with Snort. somewhat. With Bro analysis, signature matches generate events which are amenable to high level policy script processing rather than direct alerts. Other difference include that Snort is user friendly and Bro is a beast to learn. Worse still, there are no good guides for Bro. Sure, you can subscribe to the mailing list and there is a Bro Wiki. Geek00l has done some very good postings:
- Regex – Magic for NetSe[x|c]Anal(yst)?
- Bro-IDS: Enable Full Content Data Logging
- Time Machine – Payload Centric
- Bro-IDS v1.2
- Bro-IDS – Signature Matching
- FreeBSD – IDS Sensor Tweaking
- Bro-IDS – The learning process
- Multipurposes post :]
- Bro-IDS – Be Loved
- Bro-IDS – Installation Experience
Geek00l convinced Richard Bejtlich take a second look at Bro, and Richard posted:
That will get you started.
My interest in Bro comes from the fact that a design goal of Bro was to handle high speed, large volume monitoring. Snort, on a security appliance, can handle such traffic. Force10 released such a box, the P10, which can handle up to 1000 signatures. I have worked with the open source version of Snort on high volume networks, and it has not been pleasant. While the P10 might work well, I am interested in different capabilities.
Bro offers an interesting solution to handling monitoring on 10G traffic. If you are working with FreeBSD, there are ways to tune the kernel. While I have previously run into problems with Bro, my past problems were more likely due to trying to work under the Apple environment. Supported 10G Ethernet cards drivers had not yet been developed. Fortunately, that appears to have changed. I'll post more as I make progress.

Glu Mobile Games
If you have been waiting for real cash play with Glu Mobile games then you will be pleased to know that the company launched their first real money gambling game today, and with electrifying results – the American games maker has seen its shares rise by as much as twenty seven per cent in a direct reaction to the news. They have partnered up with UK mobile betting games design and operation company Probability Plc, a smart move which is sure to see them prosper in the current mobile gaming boom.
They now offer a range of apps as for free as well as this first example of their new online casino games for real cash, so they are really moving forwards with the plan to offer real gaming which launched when their partnership with Probability was announced in October. Glu already offer free iOS and Android apps which you may well recognise or have played for yourself, such as Mutant Roadkill and Deer Hunter, so it looks certain that the slot machine games that they put out next are going to be packed full of humour and great graphics just like their other games.
Online gambling is already growing strong in the UK, as Zynga and Facebook team up to offer real cash casinos on the social network and plenty of mobile apps are being released day by day in order to offer real cash gaming on the move. Users in the UK are already allowed to bet real cash on Facebook games, and thanks to new regulations in Nevada and New Jersey players in the United States may soon be able to do so as well. It looks as though we may also see other states following suit, so this is a very exciting time for the online gambling market right now and developments really are happening everywhere that you look and every time that you check the news.
Glu has said that the games will be offered in the UK through Probability's partners, such as William Hill and Paddy Power, so you can be sure that you will see these games at a mobile casino near you very soon.

Bankrate Audio » 5 Best Fields For Paid Internships
Editor's note: This is a transcript of the audio file.
You need experience. They need recruits.
Paid internships are good work if you can get it. I'm Janet Stauble with your Bankrate.com Personal Finance Minute.
Bank internships are booming despite the financial meltdown, and the biggest banks are paying upwards of 30 dollars an hour. These gigs could put you on track to become a financial examiner, the nation's fifth fastest-growing job behind IT workers and home health aides.
Uncle Sam is not one to discriminate against liberal arts majors. Federal agencies from the NSA to the CIA need interns from a wide range of majors.
And communications interns weren't a hot commodity until social media exploded. More businesses rely on students to jumpstart their social media marketing. Average intern pay hovers around 11 dollars an hour.
Accounting is an old standby for scoring a high-paying internship. It's a specialized skill set that firms are willing to pay well to get. Average pay spans from 10 to 18 dollars an hour, but the top firms pay more than 25 dollars an hour.
Tech interns like programmers, Web developers and engineers are also in demand and can command up to 30 dollars an hour.

dogpile.cache-dict-config / README.rst
A caching API built around the concept of a "dogpile lock", which allows continued access to an expiring data value while a single thread generates a new value.
dogpile.cache builds on the dogpile locking system, which implements the idea of "allow one creator to write while others read" in the abstract. Overall, dogpile.cache is intended as a replacement to the Beaker caching system, the internals of which are written by the same author. All the ideas of Beaker which "work" are re-implemented in dogpile.cache in a more efficient and succinct manner, and all the cruft (Beaker's internals were first written in 2005) relegated to the trash heap.
- A succinct API which encourages up-front configuration of pre-defined "regions", each one defining a set of caching characteristics including storage backend, configuration options, and default expiration time.
- The dogpile lock, first developed as the core engine behind the Beaker caching system, here vastly improved and tested. Some key performance issues that were intrinsic to Beaker's architecture, particularly that values would frequently be "double-fetched" from the cache, have been fixed.
- Backends implement their own version of a "distributed" lock, where the "distribution" matches the backend's storage system. For example, the memcached backends allow all clients to coordinate creation of values using memcached itself. The dbm file backend instead uses a lockfile alongside the dbm file. New backends, such as a Redis-based backend, can then provide their own locking mechanism appropriate to the storage engine.
- Backends included in the first release include three memcached backends (python-memcached, pylibmc, bmemcached), a backend based on Python's anydbm, and a plain dictionary backend.
- Space for third party plugins, including the first which provides the dogpile.cache engine to Mako templates.
dogpile.cache features a single public usage object known as the CacheRegion. This object then refers to a particular CacheBackend. Typical usage generates a region using make_region(), which can then be used at the module level to decorate functions, or used directly in code with a traditional get/set interface. Configuration of the backend is applied to the region using configure() or configure_from_config(), allowing deferred config-file based configuration to occur after modules have been imported:
from dogpile.cache import make_region region = make_region().configure( 'dogpile.cache.pylibmc', expiration_time = 3600, arguments = { 'url':["127.0.0.1"], 'binary':True, 'behaviors':{"tcp_nodelay": True,"ketama":True} } ) @region.cache_on_arguments() def load_user_info(user_id): return some_database.lookup_user_by_id(user_id)
See dogpile.cache's full documentation at dogpile.cache documentation.

Welcome to my new journal, Cuban Test. This is a New Year (2003) and I am more determined then EVER to get HUGE. Last year did not let me down, I am happy at the gains which were attained in 2002. This will be my ultimate journal for the year 2003, Yes, I plan to keep this puppy for one full year. I only plan to keep this journal for myself and to motivate me, since I don¡¦t talk about bb with any of my friends, this is the best way to interact with other people that share the same interest as me.
- I am still deciding on which goals I will set for myself this upcoming year. I do plan to set shorter-term goals, in both, dieting and lifting.
Keep on an eye for a more detailed photo section. Well, I plan to take pictures, more of them, to keep an eye on everything. I will take pictures at the gym lifting whenever I break a new record. This is still on the air, because, I have many friends that lift at my gym, (which I got into lifting) well they go at different times then me. Plus, I wont like to be showing off every week taking pictures. I will however, try to get any training pictures whenever I can that is for sure.
Detailed overview of my supplement stack. This is something I have not been doing much lately.
Tighter Dieting! This is has to be my number one priority. I have to tighten those holes that I have on my diet. Like, waking up in the middle of the night and eat. Also, the weekends are just too crazy when on KETO.
Year 2003¡¦s Goals
Lose Bitch Tits
Get that 6 pack
Get down to 175-180lb Ripped
Hack Squat 450lbs ³ Current ³ 360lb
Squat 405lb ³ Current ³ 315-325lb
The more of these goals that are achieved/accomplished before I turn 16, the higher the compensation I give myself. (ex. Go in more dates. ect..)
Cuban Testosterone
CUTTING JOURNAL : w/ pictures + diet
*Short-Term: Get totally ripped, lose bitch tits, cut guads, and get 6 pack.
*Mid-Term: Become the biggest senior 2004 mhs.
*Long Term: 200-220lb with 6% BF! BRING ON THE WAR...!!!

Magic Time Equals Winning Money!
- Thursday, May 6, 2010 9:11 AM
- Written By: Jonathan Cash
Your "Bad Beat" for Wednesday is on:
Indians (minus 120) vs. Toronto.
Now this is bad. Bad as in good! The Indians led 4-2 in the top of the 9th inning with two outs and nobody on. One more out and the fans at the Jake are going home happy. Then it came down to one more strike as Fred Lewis has an 0-2 count. But he prolonged the game with a double. Then on the 0-2 pitch Aaron Hill grounded one into the hole at short and Luis Valbuena whiffed at it for an error allowing Lewis to score.
So the game was now 4-3 and wouldn't you know it on the 1-2 pitch Adam Lind went deep for the 5-4 lead and win.
Now that is dreadful for all of the Tribe backers, dreadful!
Your winner for Thursday is on:
3* Magic (minus 9 1/2) vs. Atlanta.
One play on Wednesday, a 3* loser on the Spurs.
One play again on Thursday as that's all the board merits. I can't say that I am in love with Orlando tonight because this is a lot of points and I can't see another blowout as the Hawks are too talented to be so pathetic again but Atlanta is lacking heart and the way they play on the road makes me fine with the home squad.
I expect Mike Woodson's team to come out and play hard after the game one embarassment but these Hawks have been dreaqdful on the road for the last three seasons with this same corps and I'm not so sure they truly have what it takes to stay in this thing for 48 minutes.
Dwight Howard is just too good for anybody down low and that includes Al Horford and Nelson, Lewis and the rest of Stan Van Gundy's squad is as rolling as a team can be rolling right now.
The Hawks have talented players with Horford, Smith, Johnson and Crawford and have enough potential to compete but I'm just not sure psychologically they have what it takes to regroup after that game one woodshed beating.
We're not looking at a repeat of game one but we are looking at the same end result!

You talked, We listened.Here at Mason, our career model may be a little different than what you've experienced at other universities. We listened to employer feedback over the years and heard that "major" does not equal "career." So we shifted the way we operate to an Industry Focused Approach. Now, when we meet with students, we don't say, "What can you do with your major?" but instead "How can you use your knowledge, skills, and talents in your industry of choice?"
Industry Advising and Employer Development Team
In order to implement an Industry Focused Approach, we created an Industry Advising and Employer Development (IAED) Team. Each member of our IAED Team, called Industry Advisors, has been assigned a cluster of industries and has become an expert on those industries.
On a day to day basis, our Industry Advisors meet with students who have selected one of their industries as their industry of interest. Industry Advisors are also responsible for employer development in those same industries. In addition, our Industry Advisors partner with faculty and staff across campus.
What does that mean for me?
All that to say, you get personalized attention from staff who regularly interact with students and know specifically what you do! Each employer who recruits at Mason is assigned to an Industry Advisor based on their organization's industry.
- Accounting, Consulting, Financial Services, Real Estate, Retail (Leadership Management) and Consumer Products
- Advertising, Arts and Entertainment, Marketing, Media and PR
- Agriculture & Forestry, Energy and Petroleum, Health and Pharmaceuticals/Biotechnology, Manufacturing
- Construction, Engineering, Technology, Transportation

For Immediate Release: October 18th, 2000
Governor Taft Urged Not to Punish Children Who Decline to Watch Channel One or TV in School
Child advocates sent a letter today to Ohio Governor Bob Taft asking him not to allow local school systems to punish children who won't watch Primedia's Channel One in the public schools. According to the Toledo Blade, two Ohio children were held in a juvenile detention center on October 6th for refusing to watch Channel One and TV in public school. Primedia's Channel One is a controversial televised in-school marketing program.
Commercial Alert and Obligation, Inc. sent the letter to Gov. Taft. The letter follows.
Dear Governor Taft:
Local school officials are using Ohio's compulsory education laws to force children to watch commercial television and advertising in school, including the controversial marketing program Channel One. We urge you to take a stand for children and stop this abuse of the authority of the state.
According to the Toledo Blade, two Ohio children, D.J. and Carlotta Maurer, spent October 6th in the Wood County Juvenile Detention Center because they refused to watch Channel One and other televised programming at Perrysburg Junior High School. They refused because they choose not to take in the degraded commercial culture that Channel One and media corporations deliver to children each day.
Channel One does not exist to help or teach kids. It exists to help corporations that want to market to kids. As a Channel One executive once said, "The biggest selling point to advertisers [is] . . . we are forcing kids to watch two minutes of commercials" each day.
Ohio's compulsory education laws exist for the nurture of children, not their exploitation. But Primedia's Channel One has been able to harness the coercive arm of the State of Ohio to force schoolchildren to watch its daily fare. This includes "lite" news and advertisements for violent entertainment such as "Supernova," "The Mummy," and James Bond "The World is Not Enough," as well as junk food, video games and low-grade sensuality. That is a blatant misuse of state power. It is not the proper role of the schools or the state to promote such products and values to innocent and vulnerable schoolchildren. Certainly, the laws of the state should never be used to compel children to subject themselves to such promotion. When the government sends children to a juvenile detention center because they don't want to watch advertising, that is both Orwellian and more than a little sick.
The public schools ought to be a sanctuary from the noxious aspects of the commercial culture. Many parents are rightly worried about the way the commercial culture saturates their kids lives with degraded values and nonstop seductions.
We strongly urge you to take a stand for parents and remove Channel One from Ohio's public schools. This would be a clarion call for those parents who wish their children to grow up free from the depredations and enticements of the media corporations and their advertisers.
Gary Ruskin, Director, Commercial Alert
Jim Metrock, President, Obligation, Inc.

A visit to the doctor can produce anxiety and confusion under the best of circumstances; when doctor and patient don't speak the same language, misunderstandings can be dangerous. In a recent article in the American Translators Association (ATA) Chronicle, EDC researcher Maria-Paz Avery and her co-author Eduardo Berinstein describe recent efforts to develop a certification tool for medical interpreters in Massachusetts.
Medical interpretation, Avery stresses, is much more than merely substituting words from one language to another. Instead, it requires creating an equivalent message in a second language that captures the meaning of the original utterance. For languages that do not share linguistic origins and/or cultural frameworks, generating equivalent messages are especially challenging. Often, there are "untranslatable words"words that represent concepts that are alien to the other society. In such situations, medical interpreters have to help both providers and patients find appropriate metaphors that will convey the essential information underlying the concept.
EDC's involvement in the field of medical interpretation began in 1992, when it received funding from the U.S. Department of Education, Fund for the Improvement of Secondary Education, to develop the first college-level certificate program in medical interpreting in the nation. Developed in collaboration with the Massachusetts Medical Interpreters Association (MMIA), a community college, and a hospital in the area, this project led to the creation and publication of Standards of Practice for medical interpreters. These standards have since been endorsed as the best available in the nation by the National Council on Interpretation in Health Care. They are currently used by training programs for interpreters and health care providers and by local interpreter associations as a guiding framework for the competent practice of medical interpretation. They have also been informally translated into Dutch and French.
Today, as the proportion of foreign-born Americans approaches 10% and the diversity of languages spoken in the U.S. growsone Boston hospital provided interpreters in 24 languages last yeardemand for skilled medical interpreters runs high. But as the demand increases, the complexities of assessing the competence and qualifications of interpreters in many different languages becomes a daunting task. To address this pressing need, Avery and her MMIA colleagues have used the Standards of Practice as the basis for a certification tool. This tool relies on "authentic assessment," which measures the actual skills critical to the task of medical interpretation, such as cultural knowledge and knowledge of both the technical and lay terms used to describe symptoms.
Intended for interpreters in a variety of languages, with diverse educational backgrounds, the certification tool relies primarily on oral demonstrations of skill to evaluate interpreters' language proficiency, knowledge of health-related terms, familiarity with relevant ethical and cultural factors, and skills in interpretation. As of today, the MMIA has piloted a prototype in Spanish that will serve as the model for the development of other versions in other languages.
Avery observes, "Who would have thought that the work we started in 1992 would take a life of its own and have such a tremendous impact on the development of the field in the national and international arena? I still keep getting phone calls on a regular basis from across the country asking for copies of the Standards of Practice. People are now looking to Massachusetts as leaders in developing a certification process that is inclusive, equitable, and culturally and linguistically sensitive."

thank you guysposted 06/19/2011 by NettaNette
we were engaged back in 2010 then things went sour because he couldn't handle my depression. And becaus of a police issue he HAD to leave. He asked to come back a month before our now 10 month old was born but we didn't get together as a couple untli Nov 2010. He says he's hardly there and i have some people verify that he just sleeps there but i'm still uncomfortable with that.posted 06/01/2011 by NettaNette
First off let me say I'm so sorry and this must be a terrifying and sad thing to even have to think about let alone go through. Has he broken up with you before? How long have you been engaged? Has he ever cheated before? Moving in with a girl (moving in?! not just crashing there?!) sounds like that has been going on for a little while already. If you think this is just a one time thing you can try and work things out, but if this is regular and he has a habit of letting you (and therefore your children) down, then as scarey as it may be, you need to find a more stable environment for the kids. Theres always child support, dont forget. Hes not free and clear to leave you and go hopping around with other women and you're stuck paying for everything alone.posted 06/01/2011 by nberryman

Paquiao vs Margarito Results: Doping Rumors Taint Big FightToniFitz76
Were the Paquiao vs Margarito results tainted by doping and steroids? Last year's scrubbed Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight was derailed in part by doping rumors Mayweather insisted on a pre-fight blood test that Pacquiao, a father of four, didn't want, and Mayweather implied it was because Pacquiao was juicing. Antonio Margarito has also been the subject of such rumors.
Now the issue is overshadowing last night's big Pacquiao-Margarito fight. Pacquiao's traner accused Margarito of taking an ephedra-containing substance just before they fought. Pacquiao's team wanted a doping test right then and there, but officials refused.
Margarito later denied the charge.
Seems like every sport is rife with these rumors and proven incidents these days, but it's still a terrible example for kids. What do you think are the doping rumors true or just a way for boxers to throw in some added drama?

2006 Michigan State Spartans Basketball Preview
2006 Michigan State Spartans Basketball Predictions
This club has been to the NCAA tourney 9 years in a row. This year they may make it an even decade. Last season, the Spartans (22- 12 over all and 8- 8 Big 10) lost to upset-maker George Mason 75- 65 in the first round. How far can they go in 2006 -07?
Point guard Drew Neitzel (8.3 PPG, 2.0 RPG, 5.6 APG, 40.8 FG%, 93.2 FT%), a junior, is a solid assist man and an accurate three-point shooter. He must now take more shots and contribute more points. Leading the perimeter defense, sophomore Travis Walton (1.8 PPG, 1.8 RPG, 2.4 APG, 39.6 FG%, 72.0 FT%), who can intimidate offenses, ball handles effectively and has the potential to hit consistently from downtown. Freshman guard/forward Raymar Morgan offers sound "D" and rebounding. The Spartans are desperate to have sophomore Maurice Joseph (0.7 PPG, 0.5 RPG, 0.0 APG, 25.0 FG%, 20.0 FT%) step up.
A trio of talented front men return— senior center Drew Naymick (1.1 PPG, 1.6 RPG, 0.4 APG, 50.0 FG%, 0.0 FT%), sophomore center Goran Suton (3.0 PPG, 2.8 RPG, 0.5 APG, 47.1 FG%, 73.7 FT%) and sophomore forward Marquise Gray (3.0 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 0.4 APG, 52.1 FG%, 36.8 FT%). Naymick offers good defense and looks to develop offensively. Suton is a fine shooter and rising rebounder. Gray possesses fine athleticism and talent but due to injury may need more time to develop.
Tom Izzo (255- 109 in 11 years) must get this club to be more aggressive on defense and in grabbing rebounds. He'll also need to get substantial point production from various sophomores. The Spartans are not deep, which means that Izzo will have to get his players to reach new heights in order to go deep into the tournament.
This Spartan team is not expected to do very much. That, of course, means that players will be challenged and motivated to over achieve. Michigan State may be thin, but the team possesses a lot of promise. Numerous players must step up in order for them to get to the Big Dance once again.

Registering Trunx now does not "secure yourself free unlimited cloud storage for life." That was a misinterpretation by TNW.
What Trunx is offering is that all photos and videos uploaded by the end of September will be stored free for life. From what Trunx has said, it sounds to me like you could replace those photos and videos with other content later; that basically however much storage you're using on September 30 is how much storage you'll have for free for life.
No indication yet as to what charges will apply to photos and videos uploaded starting in October. The official statement is, "the cost for the unlimited account will be inexpensive and very competitive, especially when compared to other cloud services."
