This line of the Barber family begins with the birth of Ira Barber in 1786, just about the time of the birth of our country with the United States Constitution setting us on a critical path in our world's history. It is obvious that this time of our history influenced the direction of the lives of many Americans for the next couple of centuries, and certainly the core character of the Barber family was influenced by these developments.
We will see how Ira, a farmer and a blacksmith, charged headlong into the future when he moved his family into the country's remote western reaches of Indiana in the late-1830s or early-1840s. He would have been in his fifties in age when he and his family made this move traveling on the Erie Canal and the Chicago Road to their destination in La Porte County, Indiana.
Through the first five generations of Ira Barber's descendants, you will see true-hearted families with a strong work ethic and accomplished skills and trades. You will view these early generations in the context of their times and places with insights into transportation, economic issues, monetary challenges and simple things like clothing the family. You will get a glimpse of working in the wagon and carriage making businesses and see how the Barbers continued to be hard-working, skilled, ethical and family oriented – attributes that today's descendants of Ira Barber share.
The text of the nearly 270-page book covers five generations of the Barber family beginning with Ira. But, I have included a complete descendant chart of all the relatives I have located which covers eight generations. You will be able to see 450 relatives in this 65-page chart. This includes an index of names and places for easy reference. The book also includes over 100 photographs, maps and illustrations.
Come along on the journey and see how history developed the character of the Barbers ... from New York to Indiana.
I believe strongly in the strength of family. Our individual personal history is the root of our world history. We need to understand from where we have come in order to know who we are ... we must remember.

NPR's CEO: Playing the Stigma Card
by Michael J. Fitzpatrick, Executive Director
The controversial firing of National Public Radio senior correspondent Juan Williams over remarks he made about Muslims on a Fox News show has brought a lot of heat on the public network lately. Williams' comments are still up for debate, but comments made about his firing by NPR CEO and president Vivian Schiller were undoubtedly offensive and outrageous. Schiller told news media that whatever Williams thinks about Muslims should be between him and "his psychiatrist or publicist—take your pick."
Schiller's remarks pull "the stigma card," suggesting mental illness to discredit a person rather than debating issues on their merits. In a letter to Ms. Schiller, I noted the chilling effect that her remarks, coming from a CEO, could have on any employee who might live with mental health problems.
NAMI has asked not only for a specific apology to all individuals and families affected by mental illness, but also for NPR to begin taking steps to reassure employees about workplace standards underthe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Below is a copy of my letter. I welcome your comments. If you share NAMI's outrage, I encourage you to send your own letter to Ms. Schiller.
October 26, 2010
Ms. Vivian Schiller
President & CEO
635 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20001-3753
Dear Ms. Schiller:
On behalf of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and its 1,100 state and local affiliates across the nation, many of them served by NPR affiliates, I take strong exception to the improper and destructive nature of your recent remark in the midst of a professional termination dispute with an NPR news analyst, in which you told the news media that the employee's feelings on a controversial topic should have been kept between himself and his "psychiatrist or publicist."
The remark forced a public response from the employee saying that he does not have a psychiatrist.
NAMI does not take a position on NPR's underlying controversy. We also acknowledge your swift, subsequent statement that you "spoke hastily," apologizing to the employee "and others" for the "thoughtless remark." However, NAMI remains greatly concerned about the cruel signal the incident has sent to millions of Americans—and its chilling effect both on people seeking help for mental health concerns and their expectation of privacy and support in employment relationships.
Indeed, we believe the remark may violate the letter and/or spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)—risking creation of a hostile work environment, flowing from the top down through NPR and its affiliates, for any employee who lives with mental illness.
The remark perpetuated the kind of stigma surrounding mental illness that NAMI, Congress and consecutive presidents have worked hard to eliminate. It also was sadly inconsistent with NPR's own stellar record of reporting fairly, accurately and compassionately on issues related to mental illness.
NAMI asks for more than a general apology. We would appreciate a specific apology to individuals and families who often struggle against stigma in their daily lives. We also ask NPR to adopt a plan no later than its November 2010 board meeting with affirmative steps to educate and reassure its managers and employees about protections and practices under the ADA.
Michael J. Fitzpatrick, M.S.W.
Executive Director

I too was offended by that comment. Good for NAMI for calling it out!

NPR is racist for firing a black man :) (See? Sounds stupid when we say it... sounds stupid when the left calls us racist for not liking Obama...)

Thanks NAMI for calling NPR on this. I was surprised with the CEO saying this - when times get tough- true colors come out.
As a mental health consumer who is okay saying I have a psychiatrist, it just reinforces the risk of being a disclosed consumer.
I hope NPR responds in a way that demonstrates it was not what she meant to say evidenced by action for education.
I hope she does not compound the damage but again insulting us by saying we are "too sensitive."
Insulting persons with mental health challenges as if things don't affect us like normal people- only further stigmitizes.
Ms Schiller: here's your chance.
Thanks TM Carlisle, PA

I am so glad that somebody has the guts to finally stand up for NAMI and their feelings about people with disabilities. The wonderful country has beaten the people down about not being perfect! Way to go NAMI!
- October 27, 2010 at 4:13 PM
As a mental health consumer, I was also offended by this comment. I applaud NAMI for confronting NPR and Vivian Schiller about her prejudiced statement relating to people with mental illness and its implications from the standpoint of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
- October 27, 2010 at 5:30 PM

I too appreciate NAMI calling attention to this. Her comments not only reinforce stigma, but they insinuate that having a mental illness is some sort of character flaw. It will be interesting to see if there is a response.
- October 27, 2010 at 5:32 PM
my exact words when I heard the CEO's comments on a news report...."What a cheap shot....I can't believe she said that...!" I'm glad NAMI pointed out her inconsiderate comment.
- October 27, 2010 at 8:03 PM
- susan said...
It's enough for NAMI to have a reaction to the comment, and I'm glad a letter was sent. Making too much of that statement without referencing the catalyst seems almost political.More than most organizations, I'd appreciate NAMI staying out of partisan politics.

That letter was -very- well written. I hate when people make off-handed comments like the one Ms Schiller made. Or they'll say someone is bipolar if they change their mind about something (which shows a huge ignorance about what bipolar even IS), or "someone forgot to take their meds this morning" when a person is having a bad day.
Judge Judy is a great example. I stopped watching her show because I got so sick of her saying things like "Did you just come out of a mental institution? Do you have psychiatric problems?" to someone, and when they say no (of course they're going to say no, even if the answer is yes), she says "Right, then you must be lying if you're not crazy, because I don't believe you." But that's Judge Judy, her show is all about ratings, which she achieves by being as obnoxious as possible. But we DON'T expect it from a place like NPR! I really hope that apology letter is forthcoming...
- October 27, 2010 at 9:21 PM
Um, NPR was referring to the confidentiality between a person and a psychiatrist.
Don't make a mockery of mental illness to score political points. I was offended by NAMI for writing an absurd letter. We need advocacy for the mentally ill, but obviously NAMI is not the source we need.
- October 28, 2010 at 3:59 PM
- Seattle Mama said...
I agree with anonymous, the comment was most likey meant to reference doctor-patient confidentiality. The CEO could have said "priest" instead "psychiatrist", would you have been outraged by his offensive attitude toward Catholics? I am both a supporter of NAMI and a person with a mental illness and I am embarasses by this overreaction.
- October 28, 2010 at 4:41 PM
I have serious mental health issues: bipolar I, rapid cycler with mixed states. I have to take medication every day for the rest of my life. And let me tell you that NAMI's remark is the one I find offensive.
They meant that the guy is not in a position to say publicly his remarks. His 'Feelings' are personal and confidential, between him and a therapist (the comment implies that confiding in a therapist was meant, not psychiatrist as in needing medication), if he has one, and not for the general public while he is representing NPR.
I feel that NAMI is belittling my real struggles here. Do people that run NAMI really understand the problems of the mentally ill anymore? I am both angry and embarrassed by their comments.
- October 28, 2010 at 5:34 PM
I think the CEO's comment occurred while also discussing charges of erratic or unstable professionalism. It wasn't just confidentiality, which was why Juan Williams was forced to respond. For the CEO of any company to publicly refer to an employee having or needing a psychiastrist while being fired is simply wrong and against the law. What message does it send to anyone else in the company who may be deciding whether or not to seek help themselves for depression or anything else? People shouldn't have to be afraid. NPR needs to clean up the damage and set an example as a leader. NAMI is doing its job by asking them to do that.
- October 28, 2010 at 7:47 PM
I, too, did not take offense to the comment. I, too, felt that the comment was referencing the kind of confidentiality that is inherent to the doctor-patient relationship or publicist-client relationship. NAMI is a great organization so I'm not going to bash it, but I just had to let you know that I did not find the comment offensive, at all, and I am an educated mental health consumer!
Which leads me to another point....We are not supposed to say words like 'crazy' and 'whackjob' yet these aphorisms have a legitimate place in human speech. When we use these terms we are usually referring to a person whose behavior or speech does not make sense to us. It is outlier behavior or speech, and that is the main point. Sometimes I think we are too sensitive about these things. I am a mental health consumer who uses the term 'crazy' to mean something about others' behavior or speech that I just cannot fathom. Anyone got a better word for that? I don't take 'crazy' personally at all. It's just a figure of speech, but I also understand how it can be offensive to some. Just wanted to offer a different point of view.
- October 28, 2010 at 8:32 PM
I am offended that the moderator screened my comment which found the NAMI letter baffling and insulting to the mentally ill.
NPR clearly was referring to the confidentiality between patient and psychiatrist.
NAMI has little remaining respect among mental health professionals, and you have lost the remaining suppoirtr by allowing the mentally ill to be used as a political ploy.
- October 29, 2010 at 11:09 AM
- oldskool_guy said...
I was already upset over Schiller's comment, seeing its high-profile use of stigma for what it is. Personally, I think Dr. Fitzpatrick could have legitimately used much stronger images and language than he did.
I saw a revival of the same attitude used in the Soviet Union by which they placed dissidents in psychiatric hospitals. "You don't agree with our way? You're obviously 'crazy' and need treatment."
Others may disagree with me, but that's how I call it.
- October 29, 2010 at 10:46 PM
I agree with those who have commented that Mr. Fitzpatrick's response to NPR was over the top. I don't think mental illness was implied in the reference to a psychiatrist. That usage seemed to mean to resolve fears in private while the reference to publicist seemed to mean to spin them politically correctly. The statement from NPR could have been worded better itself but does seem to encourage treatment for more than mental illness, which NAMI should recognize as a valid need.
- October 30, 2010 at 11:18 AM
I think you're really overreacting. Her comment does nothing to demean the mentally ill.
- October 31, 2010 at 9:05 PM

In response to Anonymous 10/29 at 11:09 AM: NAMI does its best to moderate comments according to generally accepted standards of good taste and open discussion. We do get a fair number of inappropriate responses, so we're sorry if your comment got put in that category inappropriately, or if your standards are not the same as ours. If you'd like to contact us to discuss the matter personally, you can do so at email@example.com.

Thanks for your fascinating article. One other problem is that mesothelioma cancer is generally due to the inhalation of materials from asbestos fiber, which is a cancer causing material. It truly is commonly observed among individuals in the engineering industry who definitely have long experience of asbestos. It is caused by moving into asbestos insulated buildings for years of time, Genes plays a crucial role, and some folks are more vulnerable towards the risk as compared to others.
Also I believe that mesothelioma is a exceptional form of cancer malignancy that is commonly found in those people previously exposed to asbestos. Cancerous tissues form inside mesothelium, which is a safety lining that covers a lot of the body's internal organs. These cells commonly form from the lining of the lungs, stomach, or the sac which encircles the heart. Thanks for revealing your ideas.

After running solid lifters for many years I've decided to go over to hydraulics and upgrade the lub.system with a S&S billet pump.My question-the S&S instructions contain an optional modification to the oil feed which essentially coverts the single feed to both the lifters and crank to a dual feed system-higher pressure to the lifters-lower pressure to the crank.I like the idea of the increased oil to the lifters,but will the supply to the heads be adversely affected? Oil supply to the heads will be via the ''low pressure"route through the cam cover to the crank.Anyone had any experience with this?

What it takes to do what, exactly?
I think you definitely have potential, and you definitely have a good eye, but your work is rough, dude. Real rough...
You evidently are already aware that you need to improve your anatomy, so that's gonna slow you up considerably portfolio-wise until you tighten up the basics like keeping the knees at the same basic level on the body, making the general body length proportional, clearly defining shoulders, instead of rounded curves, learning how to draw hips, and where finger knuckles belong...That index finger on her right hand looks downright painful...Ouch!
Her head is too small for that overly long, misshapen body, and the features are too big for it. She shows no real depth to her face, and her left leg and foot are fatter than her right...
Self-taught is hard, but you are to be commended for tackling it.
Check out www.saveloomis.org, and practice the exercises in Figure Drawing for All it's Worth. Learn the basic proportions of rendered figures.
Avoid drawing any more Furries. They are a plague and a blight upon the Earth...
Take the time to write down your goals as an artist. "Turning Pro," is like saying "I intend to get a really good paying job..." That's nice, but you need to be a LOT more specific in your goals, so that you can then devote your time and energies into studying and practicing those artistic disciplines that will help you get where you want to go. From what I saw on your site, you're heading for a low-quality Anime production studio or a cartoon greeting card company.
I wouldn't hang up the guns, as much as I'd head out to the shooting range to improve your aim and spread pattern...
Check out the Fine Arts, Studies, & Discovering section here at CA. You will learn TONS of good stuff there, particularly the Figure Drawing from the Mind thread...
Good luck. Study your anatomy, work on drapery and values. You have talent, you simply need to hone your technical skills.

I noticed that her arm is too thin in comparison to her body. Let's face it, she's not anorexic, let her have some muscle. For her line of work she needs it.
August 19th, 2005 #4
i think youve got some issues on her left ankle and calf. other than that this is nice for pencils good to see you posting, looking forward to more
August 19th, 2005 #5
It wasn't looking too bad until I scrolled down to the legs. Judging by the shading it looks like you put quite a bit of time into this, all largely to no avail as it is ruined completely by the legs.
It certainly looks like you have something going for you so stuff the art classes, and just draw as much as you can. Hey I never went to some fancy art school and I make a living from drawing without problems.
August 19th, 2005 #6
Yep, she's looking good from the hips up.
August 19th, 2005 #7
its a pretty decent beginning.
if you are looking to be a professional,
colored pencil might not cut it.
neither will copying Warren Fu's costume design for padme.
there is nothing wrong with copying, it is a great way to learn.
but if "concept designer" is what you are striving for,
you really should challenge yourself and offer up something original.
its your ideas that will get you hired for a job like that.
all that aside,
i think its a nice drawing.
it would be greatly helped by a toned background and a little more attention to her eyes.- Dan Dos Santos
August 19th, 2005 #8
wow, I am grateful & impressed for such speedy input!
as far specifics go career-wise, I want to go into Concept Illustration.
best case would be to work in the film & video game industry... (I know, "good freakin' luck!")
being happy could be working on comic book and/or the roleplaying game industries.
animation could be a possibility... I've been told my Anime was decent, but I like to keep that style as a hobby.
for now, being a grocer isn't cutting it.
the picture was insipred by 3 things:
- good call on the Warren Fu. At least someone else knows their Star Wars.
-photo reference. I used a nude pic I had in my possesion to get the feel I wanted. a makeshift lightboard set the proportions for me for speed's sake.
-My Star Wars RPG group. We were running around in the star wars universe and the npc needed a pic. I did for fun.
the time spent was approx. 12 hours on it. all in one day.
I wanted to see if I could complete something in a day, and did.
The knees are still trouble spots, and I'm still leery about using too much black in shading. especially in my color work. decent boot wrinkle references for free are very hard to come by.
I didn't have access to a computer at the time so I grabbed what I had available...pencil, ink, & colored pencils. as far as basics go, I think I'm going to have to get as basic as I can get for a while till I get it right. then work my way up. With such a low income as I do, even basic adobe products are out of reach.
Again appreciate greatly for everyone's input. I'm not trying to defend anything, I know I have a very long road ahead of me but right now my Compass is busted.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by fuzzies, but all of my pics are inspired by one story or another. All of them mine. I'm not one who's into drawing porn, but as far as context goes sometimes making it a little sexy isn't bad.Unbridled Vizions... Designs beyond reality :firedevil

Arizona State
Pat Murphy (Arizona State Head Coach):
"We played against a good Cal State Fullerton team tonight and that was the best pitching that we have seen all season. We knew coming in that this was a non-offensive ballpark and we would have to use timely hitting in order to score some runs. I think that Erik (Averill) pitched a great game and we played a great game, but Fullerton was able to use some timely hitting in order to score their runs."
Erik Averill:
"We knew that coming here was not for a vacation, but rather we were here on business and for a reason. I think that I did a good job on the mound, but the three balks did not help and they were definitely unexpected. I was mentally prepared for this game and did not feel nervous going out on the mound tonight."
Andre Ethier:
"(Jason) Windsor had exception control today and he used his fastball at unexpected times. Many times our hitters might be looking off speed at a certain time and he would throw a fastball, which would throw us off. Overall, we did not make the proper adjustments and that brought us out of our game and their style got to us."
Cal State Fullerton
George Horton (Cal State Fullerton Head Coach):
"We have one down, but a lot of work to do tomorrow. We got excellent pitching from both Jason (Windsor) and Chad (Cordero) and hopefully that will continue tomorrow for this ball team. We are excited about our position, but know that there is still a lot of work to do tomorrow in order to close this series out in two."
Jason Windsor:
"When we play the way that we did today on defense, it is very hard to score against our team. I think that this might have been one of my better outings, pitch-wise, but not having control of all of my pitches does not allow me to rank this as my top performance of the year. We are going to have to come out tomorrow and really repeat what we did today in order to close this series out early."
Jason Corapci (on playing at home):
"We seem to play really well at home and the fans get behind us and that allows us to rally behind them and produce the way that we have. We have had some great come-from-behind victories this season and we had the mentally of never giving up no matter what the odds were against us."
Ronnie Prettyman (on his two-run triple in the 2nd inning):
"(Erik) Averill dug himself into a hole against me and after seeing two straight curveballs on the outside corner, I was expecting a fastball and got it. I was able to get good bat on the ball and hit it into the gap in the outfield to plate our first two runs."

"I think that we competed all night and at one point we got into a grove and that threw off ASU. I think that each and every batter that stepped up to the plate for us saw what the person in front of them was doing and that gave them the confidence that they needed to go out and produce enough for us to win."

Craftspeople in Ecuador have made hats from the fibers of the flexible and durable toquilla palm tree for more than 400 years. Despite their origins, they're known as Panama hats because that's the port from which they were shipped to North America and Europe. This structured, pinched-crown Panama hat features a leather band and a fabric liner.
Handwoven in Ecuador. Toquilla palm with leather band and fabric liner.

My six or seventh Panama hat
By Fritz
from St. Louis, MO
About Me Casual, Practical
Comments about Ecuadorian Woven Palm Hat:
I usually wear a medium size (7 1/4 or 57-58), but I happened to order a small and it is slight too big. The toquilla straws are thicker and stiffer than even a fine (The least expensive grade.), but I consider that a plus. I wear a Panama hat for every day wear. I feel lucky if I get two seasons from a Panama; and the higher the grade (and the finer the weave), the sooner they start to break up. What I find most interesting is that the hat is woven in Ecuador (where Panamas are made, but finished in Australia.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Beautiful hat, very poor sizing
By Karoly
from Ontario, Canada
About Me Casual
This is a beautiful hat, the problem is that it is completely useless for me because it is not one size too big, but at least two. I ordered a small size and it turned out to be at least a large size.Since it is not possible to get shipping and handling and customs re-reimbursed, this is an expensive mistake.

Outstanding in design and fit
By Wife, the gift-giver

About Me Casual, Comfort-oriented, Practical, Stylish
- The palm hat has been used at dressy outdoor events (already wore three times)- The hat is great in fit and appearance - it looks very good when wearing- Since we never own a palm hat before, we are afraid it is too fragile to go on trips or travel. Even though your description stated the hat is made with flexible and durable fibers, we think the material may break and not last when subject to hostile environments.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Following a long break from competition, the Arizona swimming and diving teams return to the pool for a pair of Pac-12 dual meets at Stanford and California this weekend. The Wildcats will take on Stanford on Friday at 3 p.m. MST before facing off with Cal on Saturday at 1 p.m. MST. Saturday's meet will air on the Pac-12 Networks via tape delay on the same day at 9:30 p.m. MST.
The last time the Wildcats were in team competition was a home sweep for the women's team against Oregon State, Northern Arizona and New Mexico State back on Jan. 3. Arizona improved their record to 7-1 in dual meets this season after defeating Oregon State (195-91), Northern Arizona (188-107) and New Mexico State (202-92).
The big winner of the afternoon was sophomore Bonnie Brandon. Brandon earned a meet-best three individual first-place finishes. She won the 1000 free (9:59.67), 200 free (1:49.61) and 200 back (2:01.34). Emma Schoettmer also turned in a strong performance by taking three top finishes. She took first place in the 100 breast, 200 breast (2:14.86) and was part of the winning 200 medley relay team.
Brandon and Margo Geer have paced the Wildcats all season long up to this point. At the Texas Invite, Brandon broke her own school record in the 200 backstroke with a time of 1:50.70. Brandon currently has top-10 times nationally in the 100 free, 200 free, 500 free and 200 back.
Geer owns the top 50 free (21.78) time in the country, while her 100 free time of 47.35 currently ranks second nationally. In addition, Schoettmer has the eighth fastest time in the country in the 200 breast as she continues to be impressive so far this season.
Meanwhile, the Arizona men have not competed since a strong showing at the Texas Invite back in early December. The Wildcats had an impressive meet in Austin as the men and women combined for 15 NCAA "A" cut times, while earning 17 first-place finishes.
Junior Kevin Cordes, the back-to-back Pac-12 Men's Swimmer of the Month, is currently unbeaten in dual competition this season. In Texas, he set his own American record in the 100 breast with a time of 50.70, while also taking first-place in the 200 breast and in the 400 medley relay.
In international competition, Cordes helped seal the victory for Team USA in the Duel in the Pool against Europe, swimming a leg on the tie-breaking 200 mixed medley relay that broke the world record with a time of 1:37.17. He also was part of the winning 400 medley relay team. Individually, he earned first place in the 100 breast with a time of 56.88 which is third-best in the world in 2013, and came in at third overall in the 200 breast. Cordes now owns four American records, as he holds the top spot in the 100 and 200 breaststroke events.
Meanwhile, Mitchell Friedemann holds the top time nationally in the 100 back with a time of 45.52 and Giles Smith owns the nation's top time in the 100 fly with a time of 44.73. Both times were recorded at the Texas Invite.
Last season, the Arizona men fell to both Cal (159-134) and Stanford (173-115) at home in dual competition, while the women defeated Cal (168.5-112.5) and fell to Stanford (161-139).

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]Ailing Amar'e Stoudemire can tease about playing in Europe. Knicks rookie Jerome Jordan is simply going to do it without the posturing.
The center agreed in principle Tuesday to play in Slovenia for the Krka club with an "out clause,'' his agent Todd Ramasar told The Post.
Ramasar said final terms should be worked out Wednesday.
The out clause will allow 7-foot Jordan the option to leave Slovenia when the NBA lockout ends to join the Knicks, who are desperate for size and have the Tulsa product penciled in on the roster.
The Knicks acquired Jordan's rights for $1 million after the Bucks took him with the 45th pick of the 2009 NBA Draft. Jordan played in Serbia last season.
"This will give him an opportunity to train, give him an opportunity to play and be in game shape when the lockout is over,'' Ramasar told The Post. "He wants to prepare himself as much as possible. He doesn't want to sit on the bench his rookie year.''
Jordan, who is recovering from appendix surgery that forced him to miss the final stages of his Serbian season, will report to Slovenia on Aug. 15 and will miss the Knicks informal workouts in California.
Ramasar said Jordan chose Slovenia over teams in Italy and Israel because of the out' clause.
"That out clause – not just for Jordan – is very difficult to get,'' Ramasar said.
Stoudemire reportedly said Monday from Los Angeles "the chances would be high'' of accepting a European offer if his back is 100 percent. Stoudemire, who pulled a muscle in his back during the first-round sweep by Boston, revealed he is on the couch for the next three weeks, no longer working out, so he can get his back 100 percent.

Persistence, patience will be key for school
Published: Friday, June 28, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 27, 2013 at 2:26 p.m.
If an easy answer existed to the question of how to fund a new high school in northern Davidson County, then construction would already be under way. But when the price tag is estimated at $45 million, then no quick fix exists. The county doesn't have $45 million stuck away somewhere that it can designate for the school. The cost would be even steeper if the county didn't already own the land where a school would be built.
Yet the need is real. Officials at both North Davidson and Ledford high schools have testified to overcrowding. A new high school would alleviate that situation, as Oak Grove Middle School reduced the population at North Davidson and Ledford middle schools. The fact that school administrators and teachers have joined parents in lobbying for the new high school shows how serious they view the need. Ledford Principal Jonathan Brown addressed the Davidson County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday, when a large group attended to press the board to fund the school, and expressed concerns about safety due to overextended facilities. Thirteen people spoke. While they didn't receive a commitment for funding, the group did gain a promise from commissioners they will consider the subject again at their next meeting.
And commissioners are the ones to whom they should make their appeal. Commissioners' chairman Fred McClure suggested they contact state legislators, a rather odd statement since the county is responsible for school construction. McClure attempted to tie funding into the state lottery, but as state Sen. Stan Bingham, R-Davidson, points out in a letter to the editor today, even an increase in lottery funds wouldn't pay for the school.
To put the funding challenge into perspective, Davidson County Schools received $48.5 million of the $66.4 million voters approved in a 2005 school bond referendum. The county's share built two elementary schools, paid for projects at several others and bought the land for Oak Grove Middle and the proposed high school. The referendum received solid support, with 67 percent voting in favor. But it also included projects in all three public school systems and throughout the county. A vote on a project that would benefit a more defined area might not fare as well.
Another option would be an increase in the property tax rate, but it would take about 3 1/2 cents per $100 property valuation. Commissioners held the line on the tax rate this year, but an increase could still occur in the future to fund the school and other needs. The advocates for the school need to especially make their voice heard when discussions for the 2014-15 budget begin next year, in case the tax hike proves to be the best route.
The opening of Oak Grove Middle this year increases pressure for the accompanying high school to be built. That remains at best a couple of years away. So while patience will be needed for those lobbying for the school, making sure their voice continues to be heard offers their best course of action in the near future.

A change in seasons often spurs people into starting home improvement projects and updating their home design. If they plan a change in flooring, Anderson has an inventory that ranges from the sophisticated Casitablanca collection to the down home look of Gnarly Plank.
Whatever improvements are planned, large or small, Kari Henshaw of the Insight Design Group recommended that homeowners take a long-range view by coming up with an overall concept for various rooms, then work in the details.
"This goes back to my whole philosophy on design - have a vision and stick to it," Henshaw told the Ottawa Citizen. "When there's some continuity to your whole house, that's what makes it more successful."
The planning stage
A good place to start is with a concept outlined on a board of clippings from magazines and swatches of fabrics. Whether they're intended to make over a room design or just update it for the onset of cooler seasons, the process is the same.
It's also a good chance to review whether big-ticket items like sofa and chair upholstery is worn and needs replacing or if chipped paint warrants a fresh coat. Once that's decided, new accessories, lighting, rugs and other secondary items can be put in place.
One decorating change that doesn't cost anything is furniture rearrangement. Moving the sofa to a new place or repositioning the TV and entertainment center can give homeowners an entirely different orientation in a room.
An energy saver
The shift from summer to autumn brings the loss of natural light as the days shorten gradually into winter and chillier weather that can seep through windows. For both decorative and functional reasons, different window treatments may be in order, according to Life Organizers.
For instance, if bamboo shades are used by themselves during the warm months, this is a good time to frame the shades with curtains or drapery. They'll block drafts and give the room a cozier look.
Cozier rooms Fall colors and more textured fabrics can take the place of cotton soft furnishings in summer's neutrals and pastels in home decor. This approach is particularly effective in bedrooms where the natural inclination is to burrow under warmer covers during fall and winter. A bed ensemble will take center stage as a focal point for the whole room with a new selection of linens.
Adding an area rug or a selection of decorative pillows in coordinated colors and patterns can also create a warmer atmosphere in any room.

Allow guns at workplace
Published: Friday, November 15, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
Editor: OK, let's start here. First of all I believe every person has the right to defend themselves. So let's take a look at what that means.
One, you are in your car and someone comes and tries to rob you. You've got the right to defend yourself anyway you can. Two, you are in your home and someone breaks in on you. You can defend yourself by any means you can. Three, you are a woman in the park, and someone tries to rape you. You can defend yourself anyway you can.
By now you're getting my point I hope. N.C. law said that if you are a student and a law-abiding citizen with a concealed carry weapon of North Carolina you can carry a gun at a collage if it is locked up in your car. Your car is your property. When locked police need a search warrant to search it under the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
OK, let's say I'm going to work and while I'm pumping gas I get robbed and shot. Well I can't defend myself because I don't have my gun. Why? Because my employer said I can't bring it on their property. Also I'm at work and a crazy person comes in and starts shooting, and I can't get to my gun to defend myself. Sure, if they catch the crook he's going to jail I hope, but I'm going after my employer. Why? They put me in the spot of not letting me defend myself.
So all these companies that think they're being smart might need to check out their rules. Crooks don't care, but law-abiding citizens do.

As The Firefly Music Festival wraps up Sunday evening, state transportation officials are preparing for the increase in traffic volumes.
The final performance ends at 11 p.m. tonight, and motorists should avoid driving in or through the Dover area this evening, said DelDOT spokesman Jim Westhoff.
DelDOT is working in coordination with the city of Dover, the Dover International Speedway and Red Frog Events to coordinate traffic as festival-goers leave the Woodlands this evening.
Throughout the late afternoon and evening hours, there will likely be delays along the transportation system as festival patrons leave the area, he said.
"Before heading out, motorists are urged to look at the dozens of live traffic cameras, which can be accessed at deldot.gov," Westhoff said.
If motorists drive in the Dover area today and tonight, they should use extra caution due to the additional pedestrian activity along the roads.
The following plans will be in place during the evening hours of tonight, but the exact timing of some of these closures are fluid as weather may impact the decision of festival goers to leave earlier than anticipated:
*The northbound right lane of U.S. Route 13 beginning in the area of Jefferic Boulevard to Leipsic Road will be closed, the anticipated time of this closure is 9 p.m.
*Specific plans for each camping lot on the Dover International Speedway property will be in place directing campers to U.S. Route 13 and Del. Route 1 on all routes leaving the property, including Del. 1, U.S. 13 and Del. 9.
*Traffic signal timings will be adjusted from Dover through New Castle County.
There may be some delays in the Dover area on Monday, as well, as some festival patrons may wait to leave the area, Westhoff said. "DelDOT will have staff in place and will monitor the U.S. 13 and Del. 1 corridors for the morning rush hour.

The No. 9 Princeton field hockey team opened the Ivy League race further behind its 3-1 win at Harvard Saturday afternoon. The victory improved to the Tigers to 9-4 on the year and more importantly to 5-0 in league play, while dropping the Crimson to 5-8, 1-4 Ivy.
Saturday's win also extended Princeton's Ivy unbeaten streak to 18, the second-longest winning streak in conference history. The Tigers are only chasing their own record, a 24-game run from Oct. 2007 to Sept. 2011.
Princeton controlled the early tempo and capitalized at the 10:45-minute mark. Teresa Benvenuti picked up a rebound in front of the cage and shot it through Harvard goalkeeper Jenn Hatfield's legs to set the Tigers up with a 1-0 lead.
When scoring first the Tigers have not lost this season, but en route to extending that streak to 8-0 they had to respond to a Harvard goal five minutes later.
The Crimson only had two shots on frame all afternoon, but decidedly connected in the 16th minute. Marissa Balleza received the ball in the circle and found an open Noel Painter, who finished with a backhanded shot in front of the cage to knot it up 1-1.
Harvard would not have another shot in the first half, as the Tiger defense prevented much serious action in their circle through the remainder of the match.
Before the end of the period Princeton scored again, this time on a swift swing from senior Julia Reinprecht. She gathered the loose ball from distance and sent a high volley shot past Hatfield in the 22nd minute to send the Tigers into halftime up 2-1. Her goal accounted for the game-winner and marked sixth of the season for the back.
Princeton only tightened things up further in the second half, limiting Harvard again to two shots and one on goal over the final 35 minutes.
While the defensive line obstructed nearly every Harvard attempt into its circle, the offense continued to work to add to its lead. After four consecutive shots, freshman Cat Caro was there to finish in the 44th minute. Caro stole the ball in the middle and sent in her third goal of the year from the left side.
The Tigers finished with a 21-4 shot advantage, including a 13-2 on goal differential.
Princeton will close out its five-game road swing with a visit to No. 15 Albany (13-3, 2-1 America East) on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Baltimore County News

Baltimore County Executive
Greatness is something that doesn't come along very often. When you get to witness it first hand, it is pretty exciting, While true throughout life, it's particularly true in the world of sports, where years of preparation and dedication all have to come together to make such greatness possible, let alone a reality.
Throughout my life I've been fortunate to see more than a few of these special moments on the fields of Memorial Stadium, Camden Yards, and M&T Bank Stadium. What has taken place this week in London is now etched forever in my memory alongside Johnny U, Brooks, Eddie, Ray, and Cal.
Is it easy to win just one Olympic medal? I don't think so. . Just imagine how hard it is then to win 19 of them. Yesterday in London, Baltimore County's own Michael Phelps became the most decorated Olympian of all time. That is an incredible achievement, one made all the more special for us through Michael's roots in Rodgers Forge.
Since bursting onto the Olympic stage in Athens in 2004, Michael has been a source of pride for people throughout the country, but particularly for those us in Baltimore County, who walk the same streets where he played and swim in the same pool where he swam lap after lap after lap.
Greatness is indeed a rare thing, but when it come from that place you call home, it is really something special. Congratulations Michael, you've done something remarkable, and the best part of it is that we know you're not finished yet. Not by a long shot.

Reviews for Frosted Carrot Cake
"Excellent! I didn't use all of the icing, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. Everyone loved it!"
"Love Love this recipes. I've tried this recipe last year and fell in love with it. I just forgot to write a review. The only thing I don't do is put the crush pineapple and coconut in my cake. I give it a 10 star."
"I tried this recipe for the first time! I used 1/2 packed brown sugar and 1/2 granulated sugar. I used 3/4 to 7/8 cup of evaporated milk, soured with 1 Tbsp. cider vinegar. I used 1 tsp. salt instead of 1/2 tsp. salt. I also crushed a 20-oz. can of pineapple slices in my food processor and measured out 1 cup of crushed pineapple for the cake. I also mixed 1/8 cup all-purpose flour with the raisins before adding to batter. I omitted the nuts as there are folks who can experience nut allergies. I used a greased and floured 12x8" baking pan, 6 lined muffin pans and a 5" mini loaf pan, greased and floured. I found that I just needed to bake the cake 40 to 45 minutes since I baked the loaf, cupcakes and 12x8" cake all together.For the icing: I just used: 1/4 cup butter or margarine, 4 oz. cream cheese, 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla which I just used for the 12x8" size cake. I then iced the 12x8" cake when it cooled and chilled the cake to allow the icing to set. NOTE: I did keep the carrots and coconut the same-I HAD shredded the carrots in my food processor!The eggs and oil, vanilla extract, flour, cinnamon and baking soda I also kept the same! This IS a really nice recipe! Thank you for sharing it! delowenstein"
"I made this and it is delicious. Moist and oh so full of flavor. I loved the frosting but this recipe makes way too much for this cake. I would cut the recipe in half next time. Also, I did not have any coconut in the house so I went without it. I didn't have any raisins in the house so used Craisins instead. One thing I really enjoyed about this recipe was how easy it was and how moist it was. I baked mine in a 9" round spring pan. It worked out beautifully..."
"I have made this cake for years for my son's birthday. His birthday, Christmas, would not be complete without it. It's moist, dense, flavorful and simply the best! I don't even bother ordering carrot cake out anymore?.nothing measures up to this carrot cake."

Which quarterback best fits Miami Dolphins?
Chad Henne is a caretaker, not a playmaker.
While this might be my opinion, it's also the opinion of many respected people around the NFL who don't believe Henne has what it takes to become a top 10 quarterback in the league. So if the Miami Dolphins opt not to address the most important position in football this offseason they would be making a mistakes.
How the franchise addresses their quarterback need is the difficult part.
Last week I broke down the various options – free agency, trade, waiver wire, in-house, the draft – and the implications and ramifications that come with going after each.
It's a tough call to make, and one I'll admit I haven't done enough homework on to say such and such is the BEST options for the Dolphins. There are too many factors involved with each route, and each quarterback.
But I do believe this regime needs to make a move, make a decision on ONE QUARTERBACK who is the best fit for this offense, and this team, and push all their chips onto the table to get that player.
Sure it's a desperate move, but don't let the contract extensions fool you. General Manager Jeff Ireland and Tony Sparano don't have a season to waste gambling on Henne taking the next step. And do believe there will be competition for the elites of this quarterback batch.
Henne's already lost the confidence of his outgoing coaching staff, and his teammates. And it's not like he got a ringing endorsement from Brian Daboll. That's half the battle right there, and more than enough reason to make Ireland and Sparano act this offseason.
But act on who, and how?
That's a tough call to make considering each of the options – Kyle Orton, Carson Palmer, Donovan McNabb, Vince Young, Kevin Kolb, Alex Smith, Brady Quinn, Matt Hasselbeck, one of the four first-round draft prospects - all have age, injury, personality, contract, and experience level issues that need to be combed through.
Do the Dolphins want a stopgap like McNabb or Hasselbeck, or do they want a quarterback with upside?
Palmer has the best stats of the fairly young batch, but why did the Bengals stink in 2010, especially considering he had Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens to work with?
Are the Dolphins willing to wait on a draftee to develop or does this coaching staff feel like they need to win now?
Free agents and waiver wire options need to be convinced that Miami's the right spot for them, which is one of the reasons Ireland's contract extension was important. But agents will read right through that.
Players on the trading block will also have to be convinced the same thing considering they'll likely request contract extensions.
And let us not forget the compensation that is required. Would the Dolphins be willing to trade their first round pick for that ideal quarterback (the team doesn't have a second), or would they rather pursue someone who would come free.
Let us not forget that the draft prospects need proper evaluations, and keen maneuvering to acquire. That's why being at the Senior Bowl, where they'll watch Washington's Jake Locker in action, is critical. As soon as I know exactly how tall he is you'll know.
With all the factors in mind how would you make this decision. What are you willing to give up for a quarterback who can lead this franchise to the playoffs?
If you had to rank the available quarterbacks one through three – from top target to the guy you'd settle for - what would your order look like and why?

The show — which was a mash-up of a graphic novel reading, a radio show and live theatre — followed Sloan and Mendez through a sensory-pleasing production that showed the audience how to make sound effects with a pillow.
Sloan's story continues when Neulander returns to the Eccles Center this Saturday with "The Intergalactic Nemesis: Book II — Robot Planet Rising."
The second installment, like all good science-fiction sequels, is a little darker than chapter one, Neulander said during a telephone interview from his home in Austin, Texas.
"Our goal was to make a Part II a little more complicated, and we also had to introduce new characters that people would fall in love with," he said.
Instead of sludge monsters, armies of giant, mechanical robots will invade the Earth.
While putting this story together, Neulander and his sound-effects master, Buzz Moran, realized that they needed to find other items to bring these monsters to life.
"One of these items gives off the sound of having an objects in a big open container," Neulander explained. "He's got this rubber bin he uses that contains a handful of metal junk.
"It's very lightweight, but when he shakes and bangs it together, it sounds like a huge, heaping mass of metal that is coming towards you and will crush you when it gets there," he said.
The other objects were found at a second-hand shop.
"We have a robot army that surges through the city and we wanted to have the sounds of all the servos spinning," Neulander said. "So there are several blenders and mixers that we use to make those sounds.
"While those aren't as simple as shaking up a box of uncooked macaroni and cheese, they are still something people at home can use if they wanted to make the sound of a marauding army."
Regardless of these new "toys," there are still a couple of sequences that were almost impossible to do live if it weren't for Moran's innovative thinking.
"There is a scene where Molly gets vacuumed into a giant robot recycling system that is quite dramatic and fast and hard from a sound-effect standpoint," Neulander said. "She gets sucked up and bounces off a couple of walls and then lands on this conveyer belt that is heading toward some giant mechanical jaws.
"It's a great sequence, and you can imagine that the sound effects are an integral part of the story telling here, because there is no dialog," he said. "I don't know if the audience knows how difficult it is to do, but it is."
Neulander took a long and winding road to write "Robot Planet Rising."
"We did the original 'Intergalactic Nemesis' as a seat-of-our-pants serial play in a coffee house in Downtown Austin in the 1990s," he remembered. "We recorded for cassette tape on a four-track recorder."
In early 2000, Neulander and his co-writer, Chad Nichols, revisited the story and rerecorded it digitally after an extensive material overhaul.
"That went so well and was so much fun, so we decided to do a sequel that was called 'Return of the Intergalactic Nemesis' in the summer of 2001," Neulander said. "After that, I let the project go and came back to do a third installment in 2005."
While creating Part Three, Neulander and his team raised the bar pertaining to the quality of the show.
"So, when we looked objectively at the first two, they were, by comparison, kind of bad," he said with a laugh. "I was so happy with the third one and that made me go back to the other two installments and do a total, top-to-bottom redo that we did in 2007 and 2008."
In 2010, Neulander listened to the CDs again nd realized it still wasn't very good and decided to go back and do everything again.
"We wanted to make the new 'Intergalactic' to be compared to the old 'Intergalactic' as 'Star Wars' would be compared to the old 'Flash Gordon' serials," Neulander said.
So, Part II, which would end up being "Robot Planet Rising," turned into a two-year, intensive and extensive writing project.
"I think if half of a page of the original material had survived, I would be surprised," Neulander said. "We dropped an entire plot-moving device in the second half of the original story, and focused on character and character development.
"And the only thing that was important to us from the original sequel was a plot development that has become the beginning of 'Robot Planet Rising,'" he said. "We jettisoned as much as we could, knowing the third entry would not change a bunch."
Wiping the slate clean was a daunting task, Neulander said.
"We hit a tipping point when we knew it was going to work and it was fun from there," he said. "I was kind of like hiking up a mountain to ski and then reaching the top and skiing down, as long as you don't cause an avalanche."
So far, there are no plans to make an "Episode IV."
"Right now, I have no plans to do anything beyond Book III, but I would not rule it out," he said. "If it doesn't happen, that's OK, because all three stories can stand on their own. But if things turn out that we are able to do more, I would consider it."
"The Intergalactic Nemesis" live-action graphic novel returns to the Eccles Center, 1750 Kearns Blvd., with a new adventure: "Book Two: Robot Planet Rising." The performance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range from $20 to $67 and available by visiting www.ecclescenter.org or by calling (435) 655-3114.

ZF-4258: testBasic(Zend_Validate_File_NotExistsTest)
Output: {panel} 15) testBasic(Zend_Validate_File_NotExistsTest) Failed asserting that matches expected value . {panel}
(tested with the release-1.6 branch)
Erased linking...
Extension tests for string, NotExists tests for file_exists... these are completly different tests and have nothing to do with each other.
Can you please verify this with trunk ?
Both have the same code base and I am not getting any error at all. Maybe a environment problem ?
Seems problem depends on an environment.
I tested it under Linux, PHP 5.2.5. It's the same environment which was used for ZF 1.6.0 testing.
Was there any code change which may affect Zend_Validate_File behavior? or is it definitely unit tests problem?
There has been changes to allow user definition of case sensitivy.
But in my environment all tests pass. So the problem must be Linux specific.
Can you evaluate on which line of the testbed the test fails so I can see the input and how the code runs ? Thanks
Line 104, first pass of the foreach() loop
Probably fixed with r11388. False directory separator used.
Yes, that fixes the issue.
Merged into release-1.6 branch with the cs-11392.

Artist Mike Davis is accustomed to winning awards for his creative art, and this year is no exception as he won ribbons at three different local and state fairs.
With his painting of a deer, which is untitled, he won first place and ribbons at the Arkansas County Fair in DeWitt, the Southeast Arkansas Fair in Pine Bluff and the Arkansas State Fair in Little Rock.
"I enter my art in some category each year," Davis, a Humphrey resident, said. "I have been doing this for several years."
Davis, who also won the Sweepstakes award for art in DeWitt, is an avid hunter and nature enthusiast, has been painting all his life and enjoys painting wildlife.
"Other than painting on canvas, I also enjoy painting on turkey feathers and saw blades," Davis said. "People seem to enjoy the art very much."
Davis, who began drawing and painting seriously 15 or 20 years ago, chose wildlife as his subjects because, growing up in Humphrey, he felt very much at home.
"I have never had one art lesson," Davis said. "I draw and paint what I see in front of me."
Chris Davis, his wife of seven years, has encouraged her husband by displaying his art so people know of his talent.
"I wanted people to enjoy his art and see it," Chris Davis said. "I am very proud of him and want other people to see his talent."
Through the years, Davis has sold his art creations to individuals, at art displays, wildlife functions in other cities across the state and at Mack's Prairie Wings in Stuttgar
"I have donated my art to Ducks Unlimited and to the Turkey Federation," Davis said. "I enjoy doing that very much."

ZF-6175: Zend_Validate_Float fails in localized environment
Floats and thus the function floatval() used to test filtered value in Zend_Validate_Float::isValid() is locale aware and return value with localized decimal_point. Thus the test will always fail when a locale is set which uses a decimal point other than ".". Tested with PHP 22.214.171.124.
When... setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sv_SE.UTF-8'); $value = 10.5;
...this will always fail as it results in a comparison between "10,5" and "10.5". if (strval(floatval($valueFiltered)) != $valueFiltered) { $this->_error(); return false; }
Proposed solution
list($num, $dec) = explode('.', $valueFiltered); if (strval(intval($num)) != $num || strval(intval($dec)) != $dec) { $this->_error(); return false; }
There are also no unit test Zend_Validate_Float with a locale other than default.
This new feature has been added 3 months ago. It will be released with 1.8.

The cloud-based Webroot® Intelligence Network™ forms the foundation of our real-time threat detection capabilities. Webroot's cloud-based database was initially seeded with over 50 terabytes of threat data and grows daily. It delivers real-time protection against all known threats and eliminates the need for bulky agent signature downloads which also minimizes bandwidth consumption.
Another risk factor that is a result of signature-based protection is the potential for a definition update to negatively impact machines. By eliminating the need to download signature updates and definition files, Webroot has substantially alleviated this risk. Furthermore, if for some reason an action that Webroot takes negatively effects an endpoint, Webroot's administrator controls allow for immediate rollback and remediation remotely – with no need for support intervention.
With the Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent, there are no local signature definition updates, so user productivity is never impacted by recurring updates.
Our light impact on system resources also means that Administrators can schedule regular security scans during the working day without impacting the user's ability to use their machine; something that's impossible with most other solutions.
Definition Updates 'In the cloud'
Usually, there is a lot of management involved but this is much simpler. Now, it's just automatic.
Webroot SecureAnywhere maintains all threat updates at the cloud level within the Webroot® Intelligence Network™, so every Webroot SecureAnywhere user world-wide is instantly protected at exactly the same time.
This collective approach has several substantial benefits that turn into significant cost savings in person-hours, hardware, software and bandwidth.
Most importantly from a prevention and compliance perspective, every user is continually up-to-date when they are connected to the Internet and at the greatest risk. However, separately configurable Offline policies ensure they are fully protected when offline too.
There are now no operational risks such as 'blue screens' due to a corrupt definition updated and the unplanned compatibility changes they may produce. Network bandwidth is also minimized, as there is no longer the need to distribute large definition update files that can consume 5MB+ per day. Plus, IT saves time thanks to never having to test and administer new updates. There is also no need to maintain or pay for any on-premise servers dedicated to AV signature definitions.
Eliminating definition updates represents a huge advance in the design of antivirus technology and one that is unique to Webroot SecureAnywhere.
While we were using a competitor's product, we were averaging at least one infection each month. I'd have to determine the infection type and attempt to remove it - but sometimes removal wouldn't work and I'd have to either re-create the user account on the PC to restore to a previous point or do a clean install. The process could take anywhere from one to five hours for each event.
Cloud Predictive Intelligence is the method Webroot® uses to assess whether existing, new or changed files and processes are safe to run on a user's machine.
When the Webroot SecureAnywhere® Agent is first installed, it scans the endpoint to build a local cache of all the files and processes already present. It then continuously monitors for new or changed files that are attempting, or are poised, to execute. Files are instantaneously validated against the Webroot Intelligence Network to make a categorization as 'known good' or 'known bad'. If a determination of 'known good' or 'known bad' cannot be made, files go into a third category: 'unknown/undetermined'.
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for a 'known bad' file
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for a 'known good' file
When a new file is identified or an existing file is changed, a file hash is created on the local endpoint. That hash is then encrypted and securely sent to the Webroot Intelligence Network.
If the Webroot Intelligence Network has seen the file before, and it is 'known good', the determination is sent back to the endpoint and the file is allowed to execute.
If the Webroot Intelligence Network has seen the file before, and makes a 'known bad' determination, the file is immediately quarantined and blocked from being able to execute.
The Cloud Predictive Intelligence process flow for an 'unknown/undetermined' file
The most significant risk to endpoints is from newly released malware, also known as a Zero Day threat. In this scenario, the file has never been seen before, so the Webroot Intelligence Network is unable to make an instantaneous determination based on the file hash alone. Rather than assuming the file is not a threat because it is not 'known bad', the agent monitors the file's execution and records which other files are touched, changes that are made, and any network activity that is attempted without compromising the endpoint. The behaviors from this pseudo-execution are analyzed in more detail and matched against the Webroot Intelligence Network's database of behavioral rule sets.
If a definitive determination is still not possible based on the behavior, the file is then allowed to run on the endpoint. Full monitoring and journaling runs alongside all the other Webroot security shields until the new file can be clearly identified as 'known good' or 'known bad'. Any behaviors that exhibit malware behaviors are immediately blocked despite the allowed file execution.
When the Webroot Intelligence Network has enough information about the file to accurately identify it as 'known bad', it will block any further execution, quarantine the file, and roll back any changes that have been made based on the information journaled since the file was first identified on the endpoint. This will restore the machine to the pre-infection state.
Additionally, if a file is determined as 'known bad', all other endpoints in the network that might encounter this program are automatically protected as well because the file hash is updated in the Webroot Intelligence Network. This means the next time that file is seen, there is no need to do a behavioral analysis or journaling, because the file hash will immediately be identified as malware upon the first check.
If a file has been determined as 'known bad' by the Webroot Intelligence Network, but is being run intentionally in an environment, administrators have the ability to set an override to allow its continued use. For instance, a keylogger may have been legitimately deployed within a network for IT or development work. Webroot SecureAnywhere is likely to classify this type of file as 'known bad' since it exhibits malicious keylogger behaviors. This would be an inaccurate determination for a specific set of users in this environment. With Webroot SecureAnywhere, an administrator is able to immediately override a 'known bad' determination with a few mouse clicks from within the web management console and re-classify the file as 'known good' for their network.
