Novel Antigen-Adjuvant Vechicle as an Effective Influenza Vaccine
One of the biggest challenges concerning influenza vaccination is trying to keep up with the virus's mutational variation. The currently approved vaccines work by stimulating the body's immunity against the haemagglutinin and neuraminidase proteins on the virus's surface. As these proteins are prone to mutation, vaccines only induce immunity against specific subtypes of the virus. However, the influenza virus has a third protein in its outer coat, M2, and the extracellular domain of this protein, M2e, has been remarkably conserved in the amino acid sequence since human influenza virus was first isolated in 1933. If this protein could stimulate an adequate immune response it might be possible to develop a broad-spectrum vaccine against all influenza A subtypes.
Previous research has shown that when the extracellular domain of M2 (M2e) is linked to appropriate carrier particles, such as the hepatitis B virus core, it becomes highly immunogenic, inducing antibodies that fully protect mice against a potentially lethal influenza infection. Swedish biotech company Biovitrum AB has teamed up with researchers at the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology in Ghent (BE), who initially worked on the M2 protein, European SMEs Pepscan (the Netherlands), Proxima (UK) and Gteborg University to develop what could become the first universal vaccine for influenza. It could provide lifelong immunity against the virus and thus provide far greater protection in the event of a pandemic. It may even help to eradicate the disease in humans.
The unique combination of the consortium for the rational design of a mucosal influenza vaccine is unprecedented in European vaccine research. If the universal vaccine proves successful in clinical trials it will not only help to diminish the social and economic costs of influenza, but also secure the growth and development of the European vaccine industry in the global market.[+] Read More
Influenza is a recurrent global threat and affects millions of people in the world every year. Vaccination constitutes undoubtedly the most cost-effective preventive measure against morbidity and death from infectious diseases such as influenza. Current influenza vaccines are based on the major influenza glycoproteins haemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) as antigenic determinants. However, these proteins are subject to mutation (drift) and gene re-assortment (shift) generating seasonal variations in the circulating influenza strains thereby rendering this type of vaccine less efficient in long term protection against viral infection and necessitating annual updates of the vaccine components. Furthermore, most vaccines today are injectable and use aluminium salts as their adjuvant component. However, there is general agreement that needle-free vaccines are preferable for reasons of improved patient comfort and ease of administration, as well as reducing the risk of contamination and other adverse effects while promoting compliance and increasing the safety of vaccination. Moreover, for respiratory diseases like influenza, nasal delivery brings the vaccine to where it is most needed to stimulate a local immune response, namely the respiratory tract.
The Universal Vaccine project strives to meet this medical need by employing a highly innovative strategy that represents a conceptually novel way of rationally designing a vaccine against influenza. The aim of the Universal Vaccine project is to develop a powerful, new, safe and easily-administered nasal vaccine for humans that provides lifelong protection against influenza.
The scientific excellence and technologies within the consortium will be combined to design, develop, formulate and evaluate novel M2e-based influenza vaccine candidates with the aim of achieving improved efficacy, longer lasting protection and broad-spectrum immunity against the diversity of influenza strains, exceeding the performance of current annual influenza vaccines. In the longer perspective the project may help reduce or even eradicate influenza infections in humans.
The development of a universal influenza vaccine is based on the identification of an extracellular domain of the minor influenza protein M2 protein, referred to as M2e. The sequence of the M2e domain has been highly conserved since the first isolation of human influenza virus in 1933, despite numerous epidemics and at least two major pandemics. Therefore, by utilising the M2e peptide as antigenic determinant a vaccine will be created that could provide long term protection against a broader spectrum of influenza strains.
The development of needle-free vaccines has been hampered by the lack of effective mucosal adjuvants. Cholera toxin (CT) and the closely related Escherichia coli heat-labile toxin (LT) are powerful mucosal adjuvants but have proved unsuitable in the clinical setting due to their inherent toxicity and potential association with Bell's palsy (paralysis of the facial nerve). A novel mucosal adjuvant, CTA1-DD, has been developed which combines the enzymatic activity of the A1 unit of cholera toxin with a dimer of the Ig-binding element of Staphylococcus aureus Protein A, thereby targeting the adjuvant specifically to B-cells and other Ig-binding cells of the immune system. This strategy has proved successful in that the CTA1-DD adjuvant is completely non-toxic and, despite its more selective binding properties, has retained potent mucosal and systemic immunoenhancing functions making it a highly suitable adjuvant for development of new, efficient mucosal vaccines.
The operational goals of the project are to:
For reasons of safety, efficacy and cost, mucosal administration of vaccines is today a priority for immunising against mucosal as well as systemic infections. The ease of administration of needle-free vaccines facilitates their distribution to larger populations, particularly in the developing world, while improving vaccination safety and compliance. This will have great positive impact on global health and immense societal gains. The long term effect of a conceptually novel influenza vaccine will contribute to reducing and perhaps even eradicating influenza infections in humans.
TThe Universal Vaccine project will play a pivotal role in the future development and competitiveness of the SMEs involved. A successful novel mucosal vaccine against influenza would have significant impact on the global market and secure growth and development of the European vaccine industry. The results of the project will be investigated for patentable knowledge and it is anticipated that the SMEs could establish themselves firmly on the market for mucosal vaccines. Their extended and potentially stronger IP would allow expansion of their respective business areas and open up new opportunities for exploitation and commercialisation.

AbstractTactical guidance and navigation grade inertial measurement units (IMU) are typically bulky and costly. Numerous MEMS-based efforts to develop low cost IMU's have not yet produced performance specs suitable for tactical grade classification in almost 10years of research on the topic. However, recently developed deep reactive-ion-etching (RIE) based, single-crystalline-silicon micromachining methods appear to provide the possibility of meeting the difficult tactical grade classification. Among variousdeep RIE based methods, we propose to use the Surface/Bulk Micromachining (SBM) technology to develop IMU's capable of tactical grade classification. The SBM technology can fabricate single-crystalline-silicon gyroscopes and accelerometers on a singlewafer. The SBM technology also allows a unique in-situ process step for correcting micromachining errors to match the actual IMU performance closely to the design specifications. A laboratory working micro gyroscope sample has already been fabricated usingthe SBM technology, and preliminary measurements are very near the target goal. Our proposed work will focus on developing optimized designs for tactical grade classification, including the harsh vibration, shock and temperature requirements.The marketsize for guidance and navigational grade IMUs is cost sensitive as with all markets. The IMU to be developed would lower systems cost by more than an order of magnitude and thus open up commercialization opportunities that to date have been only dreams. AnIMU in this price category manufactured in volume would support a coupled GPS-IMU system of extreme accuracy for personal and business use in addition to military.

The 2012 Mountain West Conference (MWC) football schedules were released today. Conference play begins on Saturday, Sept. 22 with Air Force at UNLV and Nevada at Hawaii.
The 2012 season will be the first in the MWC for Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada. Each school comes from the WAC. 2011 was the final season for the TCU Horned Frogs in the MWC after they announced they were joining the Big East and ultimately the Big 12.
Some of the prominent non-conference games include Air Force at Michigan, Boise State at Michigan State, Colorado State vs. Colorado, Fresno State at Oregon, Hawaii at USC, Nevada at California, New Mexico at Texas, San Diego State at Washington, Minnesota at UNLV and Wyoming at Texas.
Listed below are direct links to the 2012 Mountain West Conference football schedules:
2012 Air Force Falcons Football Schedule
2012 Boise State Broncos Football Schedule
2012 Colorado State Rams Football Schedule
2012 Fresno State Bulldogs Football Schedule
2012 Hawaii Warriors Football Schedule
2012 Nevada Wolf Pack Football Schedule
2012 New Mexico Lobos Football Schedule
2012 San Diego State Aztecs Football Schedule
2012 UNLV Rebels Football Schedule
2012 Wyoming Cowboys Football Schedule
Nevada's third game should be Northwestern State, not Northwestern.
Seems kind of silly that they didn't go for the 9-game conference schedule now that there are 10 teams. Whoever got out of playing Boise State really lucked out.
That was my train of thought, too. But there's a method to their madness: fewer conference games means more opportunities to schedule quality out-of-conference opponents.
After next season, though, it'll all be a moot point.
I think the reason they skipped the 9th game this year is because most teams had already scheduled 4 OOC games and it's expensive and a hassle to cancel games.
As for being lucky for missing Boise State, I don't think I'd be as thrilled as you make it sound if I'm Air Force. They went to Boise last year and don't get the home game, which would be an easy sellout and would be televised, so there's monetary benefit. Also, Boise only has 1 or 2 starters back in the front 7 on defense, I wouldn't mind making a young defense try and defend the option, and I wouldn't be upset to see a quarterback not named Kellen Moore. Boise State would be favored regardless, but I wouldn't mind that opportunity if I'm AFA.
Actually, SDSU got a bad break. They do not play New Mexico, plus no bye until week 12.Think the MWC is sending them a farewell gift?
I think that who ever goes up against bsu is going to lose bad without moore.

"We did it! We did it! We really, really did it!"
These words, from "Dora the Explorer," expressed what we felt when we got to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro this fall.
We arrived Oct. 15 in Tanzania to climb Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa and, at 19,340 feet, the highest freestanding mountain in the world.
Four climbers joined our group as we prepared to tackle the mountain. Though the four were at least 18 years younger than us, we became fast friends, sharing pain and exhilaration in equal measure.
Our three Tanzanian guides had climbed Kilimanjaro 406 times among them. The 32 porters carried all but our personal gear, including a dining tent with table and chairs and a toilet tent. They packed up camp, passed us on the trail and set up the next camp before we arrived. Singing a Swahili blessing for health and strength, they welcomed us back each day.
"Big mountains are dangerous, just like the sea," our head guide warned. "One mistake is all you get."
Danger comes from high altitude and harsh conditions, including rain, fog, snow and sub-zero temperatures.
The 14,000-foot mountains climbed in Colorado and a slow assent kept us healthy. Three climbers, though, became sick, requiring oxygen and medication.
Equipment, training, determination and a lot of prayer kept us from falling off the mountain.
The 50-mile Kilimanjaro ascent ranged from an easy stroll to scrambling through farmland, rainforest, heather and alpine desert.
Snowfall two days before our attempt to reach the summit changed our plans. The steep 2,300-foot climb up the Western Breach from Arrow Glacier Camp - at an elevation from 15,800 feet to 18,370 feet - normally takes from seven to eight hours. In snow and ice it took 10 hours and required safety ropes at three locations.
The good part about the snow was that the limited visibility often hid steep dropoffs.
We reached Crater Camp and camped next to the glacier.
The crater is less than a mile across and the view of the glacier and colors of the sunset are beyond my ability to describe.
The final push to the summit started at 5 a.m. after a night of below-zero temperature. With frozen boots and numb fingers we started up the last 1,200 feet.
This climb took almost two hours, with each step requiring two breaths and pure will power.
We spent 40 minutes at the summit enjoying the views, taking photos of banners purchased in support of Eveline Rivers Sunshine Cottage and reveling in our success.
The 20-mile journey down was an exercise in determination. We lost 14,000 feet of elevation in two days.
When asked when we would be back, all six climbers responded "never."
But now I wonder...

Hi Joss
This has something to do how your media wiki is configured. Try a different media wiki such as wikipedia or http://wiki.ubc.ca for example just to see if it works for you.
OK. Thanks. How should the MediaWiki be configured? Can you point me to any information?
It has to do with the image path...
The images have a relative url. The wiki has to be configured to use absolute image urls... If you look at the source code it should be more clear. http://help.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/2010/09/22/creating-custom-menus/
I think its '$wgScriptPath' variable that you have to set
Here is another link
Hope that helps. We are also developing a bunch of wordpress resources that you could try to embed.
at http://wiki.ubc.ca/Documentation:WordPress_Basics/Training
I would also appreciate some guidance on setting mediawiki to use absolute image urls so that images will work with this plugin.
Thanks in advance,
i am with mpaskevi. i would like to understand how to configure a fresh mediawiki install to show images. trying to figure out from links above, but not sure what information to change on $wgScriptPath, etc. I did use http://shorturls.redwerks.org/ to reconstruct my url's to point to the page locations. It seems to work for the pages, but not the images. Any help would be great.

text: 000 FXUS65 KCYS 290052 AFDCYS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Cheyenne WY 652 PM MDT THU JUL 28 2016 .UPDATE... Issued at 644 PM MDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Latest radar loop was showing the convection continuing to fester in Laramie county. These storms are having a hard time pushing east due to limited instability and more subsidence. As a result, we are not expecting much in the way of widespread convection tonight. In fact, we went ahead lowered precipitation chances in the northern areas. && .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Saturday night) Issued at 245 PM MDT Thu Jul 28 2016 It is still rather stable for areas to the east of the Laramie Range. The SPC mesoanalysis shows quite a bit of CIN (100-150 J/kg) across Laramie county and extending eastward into the southern Panhandle. The svr storm threat this aftn/evening is looking more and more uncertain as the strong outflow from this mornings convective complex have stabilized things quite a bit. Cumulus is father flat on visible imagery. Latest runs the RAP have backed off on instability along the Colorado Border and HRRR shows only isolated convection over Laramie county by 00z. Deep layer shear of around 50 kts is more than sufficient to get rotating updrafts should convective initiation occur in areas near the southern Laramie Range. Being less confident about the svr storm potential, went ahead and removed large hail and damaging winds from the grids and reduced pops overall through the evening. Light southerly winds may cause areas of fog to develop by late tonight in areas along Interstate 80. Northwesterly flow aloft will continue through Saturday across the region as the midlvl ridge center is located near northern Arizona. Southeasterly winds across the plains will keep llvl moisture high. Cannot rule out a strong to svr storm during the aftn/evening with good bulk shear and instability. Better warming will promote higher CAPE values on Saturday with the GFS showing 2000 J/kg over the Nebraska Panhandle. Overall storm coverage will remain mostly isolated however through the weekend. The warmest day will be Sunday with highs in the upper 80s to mid 90s. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 245 PM MDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Broad area of high pressure will slowly propagate east towards the southern plains from the four corners through the period. This will keep the main storm track and more organized precipitation chances north of the area. As the high shifts east, mid/upper- level flow will ever so gradually turn southwesterly which will allow monsoonal moisture to begin to advect back towards the area by the middle of next week, especially in the higher elevations. Medium range guidance hints at another weak frontal passage sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, which when combined with increases in monsoonal moisture, should produce increases in convective chances. Steering flow will remain fairly weak for the first half of the period, which would limit convective strength. These begin to increase towards the middle of the week, which may add to afternoon thunderstorm organization and strength. Monday- Tuesday will be the warmest days next week as afternoon highs climb into the upper 80s and 90s across lower elevations. Minor cooling is expected behind the cold front Wednesday-Thursday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Friday afternoon) Issued at 1214 AM MDT Thu Jul 28 2016 Initial thunderstorm complex that passed through western Nebraska Panhandle sites has cleared the area. Cloud cover has been quick to dissipate north of the North Platte River Valley...less so to the south. Still think that the main concern to aviation ops will be the expected redevelopment of thunderstorm activity later this afternoon. Thunderstorm development and location will be heavily dependent upon how quickly clouds break-up in the vicinity of the higher elevations along with lingering outflow boundaries from the morning convection. Confidence is not high enough to include anything more than VCTS at this time. After thunderstorm threat diminishes around 03z...will see low cigs/fog develop again late tonight at KCYS...KSNY...KBFF...and KLAR. && .FIRE WEATHER... Issued at 219 PM MDT Thu Jul 28 2016 No fire weather concerns through the weekend. Minimum relative humidity values will fall to 15-20 percent each afternoon across Carbon county. However, wind gusts will stay mostly below 20 mph. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms will be possible most days, mainly to the east of the Laramie Range. && .CYS Watches/Warnings/Advisories... WY...None. NE...None. && $$ UPDATE...REC SHORT TERM...ZF LONG TERM...CAH AVIATION...CAH FIRE WEATHER...ZF

This jQuery plugin has the following function attached to the stop event (which I think is initiated from the _mouseStop event):
stop: function(event, ui) {
var offset = ui.box.offset();
ui.box.css({ border: '1px solid white', background: 'orange', padding: '0.5em' })
.append('x:' + offset.left + ', y:' + offset.top)
.append('w:' + ui.box.width() + ', h:' + ui.box.height());
Is there a way I can call this exact function from the code (with no input from the user), and provide it with an equivalent for the ui object that is passed as a parameter (I have the variables required)? I know I can programatically create the boxes in other ways, but I'm interested to see if I can do it this way because it will make some other things go much easier. Thanks for reading.

Midwinter Nightingale by lemonflowerWatch
©2012-2016 lemonflower
This falls under the heading of "more fanart" (also "more of those colors, Lia, it's time to flip to a new sheet of palette paper"). It's for Midwinter Nightingale, by Joan Aiken! The inimitable! I love the Wolves Chronicles, and while nobody is going to beat Gorey for his little potato Dido with a squashy face, I wanted to draw her anyway. Also, while I'm serious about that new sheet of palette paper, I ain't never gonna stop shoving botanicals into the lower-left-hand corner.
Watercolor & digital.
Watercolor & digital.
Very pretty colors and details! I have never read this series and always wanted to read it!
I just fall in love with your style! Great illustrations!
Woo yes! Joan Aiken fanart! Really GOOD Joan Aiken fanart. I love your style, it's really unique. I love the balance between the watercoloury and the digital look...
Love it.
Love it.
Thanks! It surprising more people don't illustrate her work - there's so much and it's so rich!
for fucks sake lia. teach me how to draw.
Whatever grrl, you draw like the world is ending, in a good way. Plus I have stolen your almond eyes in the past.
your style is just gorgeous, i enjoyed looking at every details!
i love it so much
Everything is so distinct and punchy!
This is lovely!
Gorgeous!! Love the layered effect!
Thank you! I considered some atmospheric perspective but at the end of the day decided, what the hey!
Nobody can beat Gorey, but I have to say you've made this character wonderfully suspicious looking. And who doesn't live for lower-left-hand corner dwelling botanicals?
If your colors were heavier on the yellow I'd be inclined to say they look like a Wes Anderson movie, but they aren't, so I guess I won't.
If your colors were heavier on the yellow I'd be inclined to say they look like a Wes Anderson movie, but they aren't, so I guess I won't.
This is the best.
You know, I think I'd like to see a live action film with the colors you use. They are all so vibrant
Thank you! I feel like I'm a little too married to these though - I need to not be afraid of blue.
^u^ well I think its wonderful. Though now that I think about I think it would be cool to see your style in a red, white, and blue color palette.
Your color palet is so great! Beautiful work.
This is a great picture otherwise, but it has one problem in it. I think impression of dept is pretty poor, what also causes the picture look a bit tangled, since all things seem to be on the same level.
Great style and very nicely finished on digital! I like your characters and the attention to details!
I seriously enjoy your palette. They're so YUMMY. They literally make me hungry.
fantastic work as usual! i'm always so envious of how clean you manage to get your watercolours, this looks amazinggg.
Thanks! ^^ Nothing but good old-fashioned rabies-level of fear of letting wet areas touch. Someday I'll figure out how to blend watercolor.
this is so precious!! ^__^
its amazing

Courtney Love has apparently lost custody of her daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, 17. Kurt Cobain's mother and sister have been named guardians. So, unfortunate that Dazed and Confused just titled its cover story on her "Love Tears Us Apart." [TMZ]

This week J Mascis is choosing 10 tracks he wants to hear on 6Music but we will be deciding the 5 we want to play out throughout the week, but if you want to hear a megamix of his choice just go to the 6Music website and click on Nemone's pages. J Mascis formed Dinosaur Jr. with bassist Barlow and drummer Emmett Jefferson 'Patrick' Murphy (aka 'Murph') in 1984. After Mascis dismissed Barlow from Dinosaur Jr. in 1989, he recorded several more Dinosaur Jr. albums until 1997, including the 1996 acoustic solo album.
Edwyn Collins is a tough man to pin down at the moment with the new album, worldwide tours and now an exhibition of his art work, but we have him in for a chat. There is currently the largest exhibition to date of Edwyn's works demonstrating his love of drawing, nature of his homeland Scotland on show. We will also be talking about his latest album "Losing Sleep", the first to be recorded since his illness.

While many Americans believe that Medicaid, the federal program established in 1965 to provide health insurance to the poorest of the nation's poor, serves as an effective social safety net, low-income advocates now say that some 13 million Americans are, in effect, working without a net.
A new report released by Montana People's Action (MPA) in conjunction with Families USA, a national healthcare advocacy group, reveals that more than four out of five low-income, uninsured Americans remain ineligible for Medicaid or other public health coverage.
In Montana alone, the latest data reveals that an estimated 67 percent of all low-income parents—some 18,695 parents living below 200 percent of the federal poverty line— have incomes that the state considers "too high" to qualify for Medicaid coverage. The numbers among non-parents are even higher, with 47,432 Montanans who do not qualify for Medicaid assistance. The problem, say low-income advocates, is that under Medicaid's broad federal guidelines, each state has the authority to set its own eligibility standards. As a result, Montana often denies Medicaid benefits to people based on the assets they own rather than on their annual income.
"People in Montana get dinged if they have a car or if they own a house, even though, realistically, those aren't liquid assets," says Melissa Case with MPA in Bozeman. "But the state has a lot of leeway in terms of both income eligibility and what kinds of eligibility tests they're requiring people to meet."
According to Case, one of the most surprising revelations to come from this study was the number of Montanans working one or even two fulltime jobs whose jobs do not provide health insurance, or who cannot afford to pay for health insurance themselves. Health plans, which for adults can run from $380 a month for a single person to more than $800 a month for a family, are essentially out of reach for virtually all low-income Montanans. That said, the problem isn't confined just to low-wage workers.
"I'm blown away by the number of folks who are working at what I would consider to be relatively good jobs in Montana, jobs that are paying $9 to $15 an hour, where they still can't afford health insurance," says Case. "If it weren't for CHIP—the Children's Health Insurance Program—their kids wouldn't be insured."
MPA and Families USA are calling on Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee to address the problem in the Senate Finance Committee as its take up the various bipartisan proposals on their agenda in the coming weeks. According to MPA, a Congressional Budget Resolution has allocated $28 billion over the next three years to provide health care for the uninsured.

Need remote control/access/VPN all-in-one? Try TeamViewer
My Dad is 87 years old, and still in good health, and he's got a Dell D630 notebook PC that he uses daily to read e-mail, check his investments, and do some very light Web surfing. He's by no means a savvy PC user, and when I try to pilot him through Windows GUI stuff by phone, he has no idea what a title bar is, a menu layout, the notification area, and other landmarks on the screen so necessary to steer users around. Thus, I must often take control of his system in northern Virginia from my desktop in Texas to diagnose and fix the problems he sometimes encounters. Case in point: last year, it took me about 45 minutes to finally understand that he'd maximized his Internet Explorer window and couldn't see or access the other on-screen controls, simply because he didn't know how to tell me what he was seeing on-screen, and couldn't understand my instructions, either.
Until recently, I've used the built-in Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Windows 7 to jump from my machine to his across the Internet. It works, but it does blank his screen so he can't see what I'm doing and learn from what I can show him. But about two weeks ago, his ISP (Cox Cable) switched its networks over to IPv6 addresses, and I can no longer use RDC to access his machine. My edge router device is IPv4 only, and tunneling doesn't cut it when I enter an IPv6 address in the RDC computer name field. That's how I found myself looking for a better remote control option, and one that was preferably free for non-commercial use.
Enter TeamViewer, the brainchild of German software company TeamViewer GmbH. The company makes a complete, fully-featured package available for free for non-commercial use on the theory that people like me who use it to support friends and family members over the Internet will be more inclined to recommend or demand use of the paid-for commercial version in the workplace as they get to know and like the product. For my own part, I'm already sold on this logic as well as the products the company puts forward:
- TeamViewer Full Version: Remote control software that works through firewalls, NAT, and even across IP versions (IPv4 to IPv6, as when I go from my machine to my Dad's; plus IPv6 to IPv4 as well). Within the TeamViewer window, anything you can do directly via local access becomes available through remote access, quickly and transparently. There are also no keyboard sequences or special tricks to change focus from the remote connection to the local desktop or vice-versa: the software knows where the cursor is (inside or outside the TeamViewer window) and behaves appropriately, with cut'n'paste capability in both directions. Also includes all the other items mention below, except for TeamViewer Manager, which is only available for commercial or trial use with 5-users, and comes as a separate software module, and Team ViewerMSI, only available by corporate license. TeamViewer encrypts all communications, using 1024 bit RSA for authentication and credentials exchanges, and 256 bit RSA for subsequent data transport once a session is established. It also works with all major VPN technologies.
- TeamViewer QuickSupport: Small, basic end-user module (what runs on my Dad's PC) that requires no installation, configuration, or admin level access to provide the receiving end of a remote access connection. Dead simple to run and use; perfect for non-PC-savvy users like my Dad. A corporate version can be customized wih logo and welcome text if buyers so choose.
- TeamViewer Host: Sets up a system service on a remote computer with login/logout and remote reboot facilities. Deisgned for server access and maintenance, it also makes a peachy add-in for home office computers to which remote users want to connect while on the road.
- QuickJoin: A remote presentation delivery tool that enables remote viewers to login to online meetings and presentations. Much smaller footprint than Windows Live Meeting, GoToMeeting, On24, or other remote meeting software I've used to attend and deliver Webinars of late.
- TeamViewer Portable: Runs the software from a UFD (USB Flash Drive) so that you can take very little with you on the road, yet gain access to your home base from any Internet-connected machine. I love portable software like this, and this particular implementation works quite nicely.
- TeamViewer Manager: A database-based software tool that stores remote host/client information in a centralized database, with distributed access to its contents to authorized users, and a powerful logging and reporting facility. It's not inappropriate to think of this as an IT/admin console for an entire collection of TeamViewer installations and accounts across an entire enterprise.
- TeamViewer MSI: An alternative installation package for TeamViewer host, designed for deployment via Group Policy Objects (GPOs) in an Active Directory environment, as is typically found in larger corporations or organizations.
Beyond the functionality, small footprint, and nice collection of different modules for different usage scenarios, what I like best about TeamViewer is their pricing model: client and remote host connections are essentially free. Buyers of commercial licenses only pay for the number of simultaneous seats they need for on-shift support staff to maintain active TeamViewer connections at any one time. Thus, even an enterprise that runs three global shifts of support staff only needs to buy 30 seats, if that's the maximum number of support staff that will be using the toolset during any single shift. This is vastly different, and more affordable, than most other remote access and remote support solutions available in today's marketplace.
check TeamViewer out. It's free for trial or non-commercial use. I predict that once you get to know this little gem, you'll start factoring it into your future on-the-job software acquisition planning.
Interesting hunt for drive wipe utility
I've recently finished work on a forthcoming book about phishing attacks entitled Cyberheist, and have also updated my CISSP Study Guide and Computer Forensics JumpStart titles in the past three months. If there's one lesson I've absorbed into the marrow of my bones as a result of these projects, it's that unleashing old disk drives to others is an invitation to security disasters. That's because a competent forensics analysis of a disk drive — even one that's been erased and reformatted — can turn up all kinds of interesting remnants of its former contents for anybody who has the right tools and knows how to use them.
Thus, when I found myself in the situation of needing to recycle some old disk drives that "the boss" (my wife, Dina) told me needed to get themselves gone from our house, I turned to the Internet to find a usable drive wipe utility that would perform an acceptable drive wipe on some drives that never had financial or other sensitive information written to them (those I would crush or incinerate). After a few false starts that showed me that you really have to try out a drive wipe utility for yourself to see if it does what you want it to (wipe an entire drive clean, in my case), I settled on the free version of a tool named Active@ KillDisk to do the job (the free version does a one-pass erase only, the $49.95 Windows and $59.95 Suite versions support 17 different standard drive-wipe algorithms). The drives in question contained photos, music files, and archives of books and other writing projects, so I wasn't overly worried about accidential disclosure anyway. Users with more sensitive data should probably take the "crush or incinerate" route, or purchase a commercial drive wipe tool that does multiple erase passes (the DoD recommends a minimum of seven "erase and write random data pattern" passes over a drive to consider it "clean for re-use" — they also recommend "crush or incinerate" for proper drive disposal too, BTW).
Here's what the GUI for the program looks like:
I mounted my old drives into USB enclosures, plugged them into a laptop USB port, fired off the program and let it chunk all night to wipe each of the two 3.5″ PATA drives I'm taking to Goodwill this coming weekend. Safe enough for non-sensitive data, and easy enough to use, though very time consuming (22 hours for a 200 GB drive, and 29 hours for a 300 GB drive). Check it out!
Another interesting update lesson thanks to Secunia PSI
With six or seven computers around my office at any given time, in various states of (dis)repair, I find myself devoting at least three or four hours a week to system checkups, diagnoses, updates, and repairs or upgrades. When something like Windows 7 SP1 comes along that number hits a temporary spike but otherwise, this is a pretty consistent number (it also includes fiddling with new programs, drivers, and other aspects of PC maintenance).
This weekend, I cranked up my favorite problem child PC, an HP HDX 9203W (aka "The Dragon") for which HP doesn't support Windows 7 (they stopped updating software for this machine at Vista). When I ran my usual weekly Secunia check, I realized this machine had been off since before last Patch Tuesday (March 8th) because a slew of updates was waiting for me to install on that machine, including the ultimate Patch Tuesday (PT) tip-off, the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 – March 2011 (KB890830). But every time I tried to run the whole batch up updates en masse the update process would hang and never even get to downloading files. In other words, something in the batch was causing the update process to fail.
I started knocking off the March PT elements one at a time. All of the important updates went through single-file without a hitch:
- Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2524375)
- Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2505438)
- Security Update for Windows 7 for x64-based systems (KB2479943): This is the one that Secunia noticed was missing, and what clued me in to the need for a visit to Windows Update.
- Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 – March 2011 (KB890830)
It was the optional update for Silverlight [Security Update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB978464)] that was hanging. Next, I tried a couple of different installation techniques: by itself from Windows update, then from the standalone KB download link, both without success. Along the way, Windows 7 continued to perform the installation after I triggered a system restart with a new pre-shutdown message "Installing update. Do not power off your PC until installation is complete." No dice for any scenario.
After reading up on Silverlight, I learned that MS issues a new version of the install executable each time it issues a Silverlight update. So I used a workaround to fix the problem instead: I uninstalled the old version that I couldn't patch for whatever reason, then simply installed a brand-new version with changes already incorporated. This went without a hitch, and Windows Update even gave the system a clean bill of health when I performed a post-install check to make sure everything had worked as it should have. I'm still not sure why the Silverlight update wouldn't install on the Dragon, but at least I found a way around that problem and have caught the machine up. It will be interesting to see if I need to go through the same manuevers the next time a Silverlight security update hits.
Firefox 4 Downloads Dwarf IE 9's
Holy moly! Firefox 4 hit the streets on Tuesday, March 22, and quickly blew away IE 9 download numbers from the previous week. By the end of the first day, the count topped 4.7 million (ahead of IE 9's 2.35 million in its first 24 hours, as tallied in this CNET story), and it topped 10 million by the end of Day 2 (Wednesday, 3/23: PC Magazine reports that it hit this milestone by 4:30 PM Eastern time that day). As I write this blog, the number at the FireFox 4 Download Stats page is climbing up from 24 million, as shown in this screen cap:
That's an impressive daily run rate so far. Already at just after 9 AM CDT (-06:00 UCT) the daily average is over 6 million for the first four days, and with 15 hours left to go in that day, it could conceivably wind up somewhere between 7 and 8 million per day by the time the clock hits midnight (a straight-line extrapolation says it will be just over 7 million but that doesn't factor any acceleration in). But the current tally clearly demonstrates that the daily rate is accelerating from day 1, and might conceivably go as high as 175% of the first day's numbers by the end of today, day 4. This may not wind up as high as the 8 million copies of Firefox 3 downloaded in 2008 on its first day outing, but it's certainly sustaining itself quite nicely.
In seeking to explain why Firefox is zooming past IE9, the aforecited PC Mag article provide an entirely credible hypothesis that with over half of all PC users still running Windows XP, Firefox 4 has a much bigger audience than IE 9, which runs only on PCs with Windows Vista or Windows 7 installed (Vista's market share is now just over 11% and Windows 7 is clocking in at just over 23%, but XP still enjoys a market share of over 55%, according to today's Operating System Market Share numbers at Netmarketshare.com). What that really means is that the total percentage of users that Firefox 4 can reach is almost three times as large as the one IE 9 can serve. Seems like an entirely plausible analysis to me!
I'm running Firefox 4 on several machines now, and I already like it much better than version 3.6.3 I had been running previously. It's more streamlined, and much faster than its predecessor. With snappy svelte new versions of Chrome, IE 9, and Firefox 4 all recently on the streets, the browser game has certainly picked up lately, hasn't it?
IE9 Sets New Download Record
As of March 16, Ryan Gavin at Microsoft reported that IE9 more than 2.35 Million downloads of IE occurred in the first 24 hours following its release on Monday night, March 14, 2011. He also reports that this works out to 27 downloads every second over that period. Wow!
These numbers represent more than double the download rate for the IE9 Beta upon its release, and quadruple the rate for the IE9 Release Candidate as well.
So far, I'm running IE9 on a single machine in my office (on my HP i7 quad core notebook). I'm still learning how to drive the UI and haven't quite learned all the ins and outs yet, but I can say I like the more compact layout better than IE8. It also runs perceptibly faster than IE8 does on equivalent hardware. It still doesn't keep up with the latest Chrome in its support for HTML5, though matters on that front have improved somewhat. I'm going to take this one slow and get to know the program better before I roll it out to all my machines.
Secunia Supplies Continuing Reminders of the Interesting State of Software Security
I run Secunia PSI on all of my networked PCs (which means "all my PCs," in fact). Every now and then, the program smacks me with forcible reminders of how interesting it can be for network admins to keep up with an ever-changing landscape of patches, fixes, and updates.
Two cases in point on my production PC this morning:
- Secunia informed me that my Citrix WebApp plug-in was out of date and that a newer version was available. But because I'm not a licensed Citrix user at present (I was working as a contractor for a chemical company last year, and got the plug-in from them so I could use their VPN) I wasn't able to download the latest version (no license, no access, as is perfectly understandable). I ended up having to find the directory in which the plug-in resided, and then having to manually delete same, to clear the warning on my machine. No big deal: I'm not using it anymore anyway.
- Secunia also let me know that a new version of Chrome 10.x was out (and wow! the first one only shipped last week: those Google guys move fast!). I clicked the About menu entry in the program and it informed me that Chrome was up-to-date. So I had to go to the Chrome download page, then download and install the latest version to clear that warning.
It just goes to show you that when it comes to keeping up with software updates, it's not always a push-button, completely automated affair. Sure, Secunia will indeed update lots of stuff for you, but there's always something that automation doesn't catch (my lack of Citrix download access on the one hand, and Chrome's refusal to recognize it needed updating on the other). That's when an admin has to step in, figure out what's broke, and fix it the old fashioned way: diagnosis, analysis, repair, and post-assessment. I guess we should all be glad: otherwise, somebody in Pune or Hyderabad would be taking care of my machines for me, and I'd be out of a job.
[Note to the wonderful folks at Secunia, whose PSI is a real Godsend to me: my final remark about being out of a job is purely metaphorical, all my systems are in my home, and not part of a commercial enterprise. Please! Don't take my licenses away.]
Windows 7 and Restore Points
In reading Michael Horowitz's "Defensive Computing" blog on ComputerWorld this morning (it's entitled "Windows 7 Restore: less trustworthy than XP?" I was reminded how things can go wonky in a hurry when Microsoft changes its rules for system behavior. And for those who didn't follow along from XP to Vista and thence to Windows 7, some of those rule changes can lead to some nasty surprises along the way.
Case in point: automatic system restores in Windows 7. As Horowitz quotes from MS documentation in his blog "System Restore in Windows 7 creates a scheduled restore point only if no other restore points have been created in the last 7 days." XP makes restore points every day by default schedule, so I can see where dropping down from daily to weekly might be problematic, especially on volatile test systems where getting back to a stable state will be easier if users can expect restore points to be less than a week old.
I have several things to say about this phenomenon:
- It's good to be aware of this default, and to make changes if it doesn't work for your needs. One way to do that is to check out the How-to Geek's instructions "Change How Often System Restore Creates Restore Points in Windows 7 or Vista," where you find step-by-step instructions for using Task Scheduler to create Restore Points at a frequency and time of your choosing. Another way to do this is to use some kind of virtualization tool to run volatile OSes, which may then be captured with regular snapshots.
- When Windows 7 (or Vista) makes an image backup using the built-in backup utility, it captures a restore point at the same time it makes that backup. By scheduling image backups at a higher frequency than once a week, you're guaranteed to do likewise for restore points. Here's a screen cap from one of my fairly busy test machines that shows that both automatic and image backup restore points can be collapsed into a single snapshot (see first two entries below).
- I've been messing about with boot/system drive SSDs for over a year now, and I've learned to flout conventional wisdom and/or typical advice to turn off System Restore for such drives. Yeah, sure, it means more writes on those drives and probably a shorter lifetime, but I've learned the hard way that the convenience and quick fixes that restore points can deliver outweigh the extension to drive life that turning restore points off for SSDs can afford. Besides, I'm pretty sure I won't be using those drives for more than 3-5 years anyway, and the "10,000 write limit" should last quite a bit longer than that.
When it comes to Windows 7 restore points, if you don't like the default behavior, you can — and probably should — take steps to change it. Then you won't have to be unpleasantly surprised to learn that your most recent restore point is 7 days old, because you can take steps to ensure it will never be any older than whatever frequency you schedule for restore point creation (using Task Manager, or some other automated scheduling tool) or system image backups (using the built-in utility).
Thin is In: MS Announces Windows Thin PC and More
At yesterday's Microsoft Desktop Virtualization Customer Roundtable, the company soft-announced a beta date for Windows Thin PC (aka WinTPC) some time before the end of March, 2011. This is a locked down, small-footprint version of Windows 7 designed to permit existing PCs to serve as thin clients. (You can see a fascinating video about this event on the Desktop Virtualization home page, including an on-cam interview with Microsoft Windows GM Gavriella Schuster, as she walks viewers through a raft of customer success stories on this technology.)
Microsoft has now instituted GA (general availability) for App-V 4.6 SP1 as well. It's intended to make virtualizing applications faster and easier. The latest release includes "package accelerators" to simplify and speed up the app virtualization process, and deliver those virtualized apps over their network infrastructures. These package accelerators should be available in early April, with tools for Adobe Reader, Office 2010, and Microsoft Project planned among the first such offerings.
At the same time, Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) version 2.0 is also in GA status. This technology permits IT professionals to package up and deliver legacy applications inside VMs that can run on Windows 7 through direct desktop integration (packaged apps run from icons on the desktop or Start Menu entries, though their runtime environments operate inside VMs running older MS operating systems, typically Windows XP). This latest release includes improved linkages with System Center Configuration Manager as well as various third party solutions.
Of course, these technologies are available only to customers who have purchased Software Assurance (SA) licenses or a Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) subscription. For more information, see Dan Kuznetsky's exellent ZDNet blog ("Virtually Speaking") entitled "Microsoft Announces Windows Thin PC and Both App-V and MED-V Updates" or Kurt Mackie's February 16 story for "the Journal" entitled "Windows Thin PC Details Revealed."
8 Absolutely Free e-Books from MS Press

After the (snow) storm, a flurry of hiring activity for February
Finally! The latest Employment Situation Summary from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released this morning shows some welcome and long-overdue signs of improvement in hiring numbers. But although nonfarm employment numbers jumped by 192,000 for February, the unemployment rate stands basically unchanged at 8.9 percent (employment gains from hiring were offset by unemployed persons once again looking for work, thereby boosting the overall employment pool). The big job gains occurred in the following sectors: manufacturing, construction, professional and business services (good news for IT contractors and consultants perhaps, if not for the entire information sector at large — more on this in the next paragraph), health care, and transportation and warehousing. Of course, we need to see monthly numbers jump by 100,000 or more above this level to really make a dent in unemployment, but good news is still good news in this troubled part of the economy.
On NPR this morning, I heard a story that was much more encouraging for beleagured IT workers. Zoe Chace filed an item entitled "Want A Job? You Ought to Be a Tech Geek" In it, she recounts how upcoming and recent IT graduates with programming expertise are finding themselves in the unusual and welcome position of having to decide among multiple offers — sometimes as many as ten or more per job candidate — when it comes to choosing an employer. A strong demand for mobile app developers (there's a surprise, eh?) is fueling this hiring frenzy, but it's a strong showing for what has been a grim job market for recent graduates since the economy hit the skids in 2008.
Now, if only that frenzy could extend as far as rank-and-file IT jobs, the doldrums might finally be behind us. My best guess, however, is that we're at least 12-18 months away from the kind of rising tide that is likely to float all hiring rates higher, especially for cost-center/infrastructure functions like IT. Hang in there, IT troops: looks like the first faint glimmers of improvement are finally heading our way!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 1994
Running Time: 75
Company: Big Top Video
Cast: Justine (I), Heidi Hooters, Tracy Gibb, Porsha, Chessie Moore, Trinity Loren, Jeannine Oldfield, Vietta, Donna Ambrose
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Feature
Ya want big boobs, ya got big boobs, but that's about all this breast-laden all-girl features has going for it. The tape is basically broken down into five scenes, with two different enormously-endowed women in each scene.
Some of the scenes have a vague theme, such as Tracy Gibb acting as the lady of the house to maid Anita, and African-American Porsha (decked out in a studded collar and wielding a leather riding crop) ordering very white Chessie Moore to go down on her. Other scenes, as Trinity Loren and Heidi Hooters establish in the opening, are just tit-pawing fests with a little cunnilingus thrown in. With mammaries like Loren's and Hooters' bouncing around, it's amazing how much time the performers spend going down on each other in the 69 position — where the only reasons for watching this tape get squashed and obscured.
The rest of the sex is equally uninspiring, but an attractive cover featuring Chessie Moore and Heidi Hooters facing each other and tit to tit should make this a mover in any big boob section.

After Katrina: Many Still Not Prepared
A year has passed since Hurricane Katrina – one of the deadliest storms in U.S. history – struck the gulf coast. But, as America heads into the peak of another hurricane season, there are signs not all that storm's lessons have been learned.
In the wake of Katrina's devastation, which put 80% of the city of New Orleans under water and claimed an estimated 1,400 lives, there was much talk of how America and the Americans in harm's way could have reacted better. Thousands of evacuees fanned out to distant cities, with other Americans watching their plight on TV screens and debating why some had waited so long to leave, and why basics like food and water took so long to reach those trapped after the flooding came.

Make Your Weekend Last (and Last...)
By Nicole YorioEnd the Is it really Monday already? blues with these weekend-extending tips. You know the feeling — it's 8 p.m. on Sunday and you find yourself wondering, Where'd the weekend go? So often, those two precious days spiral into a whirlwind of chores and obligations, leaving you deflated and drained come Sunday night. In fact, weekends filled with hassles and short on social activities are linked with burnout and poor well-being during the week, according to a study published in the...
Read the Make Your Weekend Last (and Last...) article > >
To find some of the answers, WebMD spoke to Katrina survivors -- and preparedness experts – about how well Americans are prepared to handle the next big storm.
Ready to Evacuate?
A Red Cross survey in May showed that 60% of Americans have no specific evacuation plan. In 2005, 45% said they had a disaster supply kit. This has increased to a little over half now. But 73% have not practiced their family disaster plan and 69% have not set up a place for family to meet if a disaster strikes.
In the hurricane-prone areas, a Harvard study showed that only two-thirds would leave if told to.
Why? Some reasons given for all of these decisions include:
- Can't afford to prepare, this stuff costs money
- Waste of time
- It won't happen to me
- Hate the way the administration tries to stir up fear
- My home is safer than going on the road
- Won't leave my animals
- My things would be stolen
View of a Katrina Evacuee
Michael Tisserand was the editor of an alternative paper in New Orleans. His wife is a pediatrician. They have two small children. When Katrina bore down on New Orleans, they left to stay with friends in Illinois. He has blogged his progress for WebMD.
He and his family found themselves living in the child's bedroom of a friend, with their three cats in the bathroom. "A friend who is a therapist," he writes, "suggested we were all learning Zen and how to live in the moment. I wouldn't put it that way. I'd say we were just learning how to beat our heads against the wall and keep on going."

Diabetes Health Center
FDA to Investigate Diabetes Drug Saxagliptin
In a journal editorial accompanying the September NEJM study, experts noted that after Avandia gained FDA approval in 1999, one highly publicized review published in 2007 "reported a 43 percent increase in [heart attacks] and a 64 percent increase in death from cardiovascular causes" tied to use of the drug.
The editorial authors said the Avandia experience led the FDA to be highly cautious in its oversight of new diabetes medications. In 2008, the agency issued a new rule mandating that "pre-approval and post-approval studies for all new anti-diabetic drugs rule out excess cardiovascular risk."
Speaking at the time of the NEJM study's release, co-author Dr. Itamar Raz, head of the Prevention of Diabetes and Diabetes Clinical Research Center at Hadassah Medical Center in Israel, stressed that saxagliptin also showed benefits for patients.
"Patients who received saxagliptin also had better control of blood sugar levels and a reduced need for insulin therapy," he noted. Raz added that the diabetes drug also prevented the progression of microalbuminuria, a condition that occurs when a type of protein called albumin is spilling into the urine due to kidney damage.
Still, the final chapter on saxagliptin may have to wait until the FDA issues its findings on the detailed trial data.
Meanwhile, one expert said it's not easy for the millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes to know which drug is best for them.
Dr. Tara Narula, associate director of the cardiac care unit at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said at the time of the study's publication that "there currently exists a tremendous amount of confusion regarding which diabetes drugs are safe to use in patients at risk for or with established cardiovascular disease."

Wisconsin's High Stakes Judicial Election
Wisconsin's epic fight over Republican Gov. Scott Walker's curbs on public employee union power is being played out on a new battlefield.
Both unions and tea party groups are spending big bucks in tomorrow's state Supreme Court election. If the unions are able to oust Justice David Prosser, liberals will gain an ideological majority on the court and could threaten Gov. Walker's reforms. The law's implementation was put on hold Friday after a judge ruled that a temporary restraining order blocking it would remain in place for at least two months. The case is likely to be decided by the Supreme Court.
The race has become a de facto referendum on the power of public employee unions. Spending is expected to top $3.5 million, mostly from outside groups. The Tea Party Express has invested $200,000 in TV ads attacking JoAnne Kloppenburg, Justice Prosser's opponent, as unqualified and a puppet of union bosses. The liberal Greater Wisconsin Committee has spent $1 million, some of which has gone for a controversial ad accusing Mr. Prosser of not prosecuting a pedophile priest when he was a district attorney more than 30 years ago. The ad also says that Mr. Prosser and a bishop sent the priest to another town "to avoid scandal" but that his assaults continued.
But the ad may backfire. Troy Merryfield, who along with his brother was a victim of the priest, appeared in a TV ad last Friday saying that Mr. Prosser helped law enforcement ultimately bring the priest to justice. "Kloppenberg's allies want to use our pain for their own gain," he tells viewers. He said he asked Ms. Kloppenburg to use her influence to try and pull the ad. "Kloppenburg refused," he says. "That's just wrong."
It's unfortunate that a race for Supreme Court in Wisconsin isn't being decided on the qualifications of the two candidates. Instead, it has become part of a proxy war between political adversaries. Hopefully, voters will able to discern the truth from the propaganda. And kudos to Troy Merryfield for stepping forward to correct some of the more wildly inaccurate claims in the race.
