Martin and Jennifer Quinn have 7 amazing children. Three biological and four adopted from Reece's Rainbow! In 2013 they brought home two young boys with Down Syndrome from Eastern Europe. In 2014 they returned to bring home an infant girl with Down syndrome and a young boy with Hydrocephalus, Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. During their first adoption they met a beautiful young girl with the saddest eyes in the orphanage their sons were at. She ran to Marty calling him "papa". He promised one day he would return for her. That time has come! The Quinn's are excited to fulfill their promise and finally give this beautiful orphan girl, with the sad eyes a loving forever home!

We have been blessed by adoption a few times over now but that doesn't dampen the excitement of welcoming a new child into the family. We are absolutely thrilled to bring Cullen home and love him like he deserves!
We appreciate your continued prayers and support for our family and this boy who has waited so long for a family to choose him. Thank you!

The McLaughlins met their first adopted daughter while living in China and volunteering in an orphanage. They had the rare and amazing opportunity to foster her until she and her new younger sister were adopted in Dec 2013. After returning to America, they learned their oldest daughter has a terminal muscle wasting disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Learning of this disease and having spent time with so many children with all different diagnoses in Asia, one comes to know intimately that every life has value and meaning despite any "limitations" they face. They describe their oldest daughter with SMA as passionate, vivacious, a winner of hearts and a changer of lives. Last year when they received news of another girl with SMA whose first parents wanted to dissolve their adoption, they knew undoubtedly they were being asked to step forward for her and to celebrate this precious child. She became part of their family in the fall of 2015. The McLaughlins have a heart and a calling for the medically fragile and for the aging-out whose life without a family is a scary prospect. To think of these children left to their own devices with limited or no education, no family, and no support, they feel called to action. "Our children are so much more than a disability or statistic by which they are defined as orphans. We cannot wait to bring our newest daughter into the precious folds of family and love, to call her Daughter. Our hearts and home are ready. Will you commit with us and help bring our daughter home?"

Mike and Theresa Grimes met in a tiny college town in Emmitsburg Md. We have 8 wonderful sons ranging from 28-8 years old. While there is never a dull moment at our home we know we have lots of love to share. People keep telling us "your plate is full" our answer is "We have a lot of room in our hearts".
Both Mike and Theresa always wanted a daughter and are thrilled to be getting her through the blessing of adoption.
We are so happy to have found Reeces Rainbow and are thankful for all of the support from this amazing community.
"Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for forgotten by everybody, I think that is much greater poverty than the person that has nothing to eat."

Duane & Kimber are not young parents. They have 4 children (10 yrs-31 yrs) & 14 grandchildren (11 months – 17 yrs). On any given day if you were to visit the Klopp house you would find many children at their home. They are not new to the special needs either, as they have twin grandsons with Williams Syndrome. Kimber also has a family member with Cerebral Palsy & her oldest brother was born with several birth defects.
One evening Kimber was on Facebook & saw a post shared from someone who had grown up in the same small town she had. His daughter & her family were working as missionaries in an orphanage. The blog was on Wide-Awake Family titled, "Fighting for my babies." It was a night with little sleep & lots of tears after reading the blog. Kimber asked to join Wide-Awake Family on their Facebook page where she also learned about Reece's Rainbows. She tired to hide the feelings she had for one of those precious little boys. She shed many tears over the next several months every time she thought about that little boy she had seen in the pictures & by now she had also seen a few videos with him in them as well. She went to other adoption pages but she found herself always looking for that "one" little boy.
For several months their prayers were for Isaiahu to find his forever family. They've shared many posts to family & friends about him & his need for a family. Then on Friday, March 4, 2016 there was another blog written, "Fatherless Friday." This is when God let them know his family were none other than them.
Kimber & Duane had talked about adoption several times over the years. They decided to investigate the process of adoption & more specifically on this one little boy they feel is "the missing piece" in their family.
Please pray for Isaiahu's adoption, that all will go smoothly & quickly so that they may bring this little boy home into a family full of love & security. The Klopps know that this little boy is worth it! The family is hoping to raise everything they need to cover adoption expenses between now & the beginning of September. They would be grateful for your support, either financially or through prayer, as they go after their little boy.

The Heirigs family is back. After thinking they were done building their family. God had other plans.
They brought home their oldest daughter from Russia in 2010. Which during court they found out she had an older brother still in an orphanage. After coming home they hired a Russian attorney to help get permission to adopt him. Months went by before they got the green light to start his adoption. Only to have the region freeze adoptions for investigations on past cases. This went on for months where there was a green light to continue. With all their paperwork in country, Bam! The region stopped again. During this process they reached out to the boy, sending him care packages and letters.
While Anne was doing research on the web she found Reece's Rainbow. There she found a little girl that stole her heart. They prayed about this little one and starting her adoption. After submitting their paperwork to the country the next day new laws went into effect and the child had to be 5 years of age. The Heirigs decided to wait for her until she turned 5 in a few months. During that time a priest in country opened up his own children's home and she was no longer available.
Heartbroken they just waiting for God's direction. After a few months there was a beautiful little girl with the same need as the one they lost only back in Russia. So they started her adoption. During the end of their 2nd daughter's adoption (2012) they were given the green light to continue the brother's adoption again. A week after being home, Russia banned all adoptions to American citizens. The Heirigs were again heartbroken. They still keep in contact with him by talking on the phone and sending out care packages.
Now the Heirigs have been blessed with 2 little Russian princesses and are planning on adding 2 more little princesses to their family.
They ask for prayers to see these adoptions through. If you can donate to their adoption fund they would be so grateful and appreciated. Most of all they ask you to please advocate for all these beautiful children. No child should have to go without a family.

The Priens are a big, loud, fun-loving family with an even bigger heart. Todd and Jill have been married for 25 years and have 13 children, 11 biological and 2 adopted. Last year, they adopted Natalya and Leila from Eastern Europe. There, they met Simon, a sweet little boy with Down syndrome. They have a 5-year old son with Down syndrome, which has helped them to learn the ins and outs of that handicap. When they got to know Simon, they knew he had to be a part of their family.
Some people call them crazy for having so many kids, but they wouldn't trade it for the world. They want to give each of their children the chance to have a happy, healthy life.
Geoff and Caroline have been blessed with four wonderful children, three homegrown sons and a beautiful daughter adopted from Eastern Europe in 2013. While their lives have been joyously full with their children, extended and church families, the experience of adoption forever changed them.
They could not forget the children they had seen in the orphanage, and their daughter could not forget the friends she left behind. Their children have longed and prayed for another sister, and Geoff and Caroline have known there was room in their hearts and home for one more. They have prayed that someday, God willing, they would be able bring home another precious child.
God has graciously heard their prayers, and led them back to where their journey began. Daniella was one of their daughter's close friends in the orphanage, and it is their dear wish to reunite the girls as forever sisters.
Geoff and Caroline are trusting in God's provision. They are working hard to bring Daniella home, where she will be a much loved and treasured daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece and cousin. They are so very grateful for your prayers and support.
Taylor and Katie Davis are parents to five, soon to be six, adorable, amazing children ages 10 and under. They have been married for 11 years and family is their focus and greatest joy in life. Their family has already been blessed and forever changed for the better by the adoption of a sweet, energetic, three-year- old (now 5) little boy from Hong Kong in 2014. They are so excited to be on this journey again to adopt little "Michael" — soon to be named Louie! — and have him become a part of their family forever.
Louie's soon to be big brothers and big sisters are anxiously awaiting his arrival and are so ready, along with Mom and Dad, to welcome him into their hearts. Katie and Taylor are in awe of the plan and path that their lives have taken and so grateful to be blessed with one more little one to love and care for. This family is so excited to make it through the long, sometimes trying, adoption process and bring little brother home, and they are very thankful for any support, donations, and prayers in their behalf.

Laura has always known that adoption would be a part of her life. She is a pediatric nurse and works specifically with children who have special, medical needs. Laura has adopted twice domestically from foster care. This will be her family's first international adoption.
Laura believes that all of her children were sent to her from God and were chosen to be her children. Gabriella is no exception to this. It was just by "chance" that Laura came across Gabriella's picture and story. Immediately she was drawn to this little angel and had to find out more. Gabriella has Osteogenesis Imperfecta just like Laura's eldest daughter. Laura has a lot of experience dealing with all that goes along with this condition and has a wonderful medical team already in place that can help manage Gabriella's condition and give her the medical treatment that she desperately needs. Osteogenisis Imperfecta, otherwise known as brittle bones disease, is rare. There are different types of OI and, at this point, Gabriella's type is unknown. She needs to be examined by an orthopedist and geneticist to determine what type of OI she has so that it can be properly treated as soon as possible. She will most likely need to receive infusions every 3 months to help and strengthen her bones. She will require physical and occupational therapy and possibly multiple surgeries as well. All of these treatments are readily available here in the U.S. but not in Gabriella's home country. Please help the Ferrels bring home their new family member.
Although Laura is single she has a wonderful support system made up of friends and family. It truly does take a village. Gabriella will be so loved and doted on!!
Willy and Ines Wallace live in Fort Myers, Florida. They are the parents of six wonderful children. Their three adult "kids"already out to college and professionals living on their own. Their 3 younger ones are elementary age and keeping them busy and happy!
Three years ago, the Wallace's fell in love with little "Ivan" who was 2 years old at the time. Since birth, "Ivan" has been dealing with cardiac problems. It was during this time that Willy and Ines pursued his adoption, but little "Ivan" was only available for adoption in his country (in Eastern Europe). For the last three years the Wallace's have been praying that "Ivan" would be adopted so he could receive the love of a family and the proper medical care he needed.
On March 2016 Willy and Ines received news that "Ivan" was still in his orphanage waiting for a family. This deeply saddened the Wallace's and encouraged them through prayer and guidance to look further into his adoption. "Ivan" is now 5 years old and available for international adoption . Unfortunately, "Ivan" will be soon facing transfer from the "Baby House" orphanage to an adult institutional setting due to he turning five. The Wallace's have walked the international adoption journey twice before. God has allowed them to witness the heartbreaking reality of these orphans (especially the ones with special needs). The memory of the children left behind will stay with the Wallace's forever. Although international adoption is hard, long and expensive , Willy and Ines feel that they can't just close their eyes and ignore the needs of these children.
When Willy and Ines saw "Ivan's" picture and read his story their heart longed for "Ivan" to be a part of the Wallace family. They believe God placed this precious child in their hearts 3 years ago for a reason. "Ivan" belongs in their family and they need to go find their son and bring him home!
The Wallace's need $18,000 to be fully funded. This will cover fees for traveling expenses, in-country lodging as well as transportation , facilitation , paper chasing, etc..
Five years is way too long for any child to wait in an orphanage for the love and care that he is
rightfully entitled to receive. The Wallace family will be eternally grateful for anyone who feels led to help them fund this adoption so they can bring "Ivan" to their home and family where he belongs. Sincerely , we Thank You!

We were not pursuing adoption… at all. We were so, very happy with the life we already have! And we only just adopted our littlest last year!
But God began to stir our unexpecting hearts when a friend found her on a China Advocacy Site. As she researched Poppy's diagnosis, she recognized the connection to our son's. Slowly God showed us how little faith we were displaying… and that God could do this… even if she was in China! We prayerfully decided to take a step… and then another… and God just kept letting us through the doors!
MPS disorders occur when there is a missing enzyme that breaks down cellular waste. That waste gathers in all the systems in their bodies, and as it accumulates, it starts to impede their function. As the child gets older, the symptoms only get worse.
Sly Syndrome has an enzyme replacement in trial right now that we are hopeful Poppy Mae will be able to benefit from soon. In China, she would have no such chance, as the medicine, even once it is approved, will be very expensive. This enzyme replacement will not cure her, but it should help to slow down the progression of the disease on her little body.
Because of our 5 year old's involvement in the clinical trial, we have gotten to know some of the best of the best doctors who treat this disease. They have seen Poppy Mae's file, are open and available, and are very excited to meet our little girl, too!
Because we are kind of doing all of this backwards, we are compiling our dossier at the same time that we are completing our home study. We are trusting that God will provide every penny for her adoption quickly so that we can bring her home SOON!!!From bilateral club feet, tendon release, heart surgery, and scoliosis surgery, casting, and bracing, our little flower has had it rough in her short 3 years. But these are the kinds of things we expect with MPS. MPS VII, or Sly Syndrome, is extremely rare, even among the MPS disorders. We've been part of that world for about 5 years, since we adopted our son who has a different form of MPS.

Dennis & Cindy have been married 38 years and have raised 8 biological children ages 36 to 19 and 7 beautiful grandchildren. They started their journey of adoption 4 years ago with their little girl Adalyn in Russia, just 5 days after they returned home the ban became law. For a year with the other Russians parent they tried to bring her home and through the journey were open to children God would bring before them. They still Believe, Trust and Stand on Faith and Hope for the orphanage Gates in Russia to reopen for their little girl and all the other orphans that are caught in the ban. On Jan. 7, 2014 they stepped out to adopt their two little ones, Abraham and Sarah, biological siblings from Ukraine. Then the war broke out and Abraham and Sarah were in an orphanage in one of the 3 cities where the war was, but they still continued.
On May 7 their dossier was submitted and on June 7 they got travel dates. But joy soon turned to wait, it was unsafe to travel to their children because of the war. But they stood Believing in Faith against everything that was reported , because God continued to speak to Cindy, guiding her in each step, with clear messages of Hope and Promises. In July they found out Russia came in and tried to kidnap their children and the other 60 children in the orphanage but they were stopped. The next day the children were evacuated North to a safe region. For 6 weeks they heard nothing. Then in August God gave Cindy a date Sept. 27 and He also told her they would be home by CHRISTmas. On September 26 Cindy missed Nancy's phone call and didn't know it till 3 hours later. When she called Nancy, she was told the team thinks they have found a way be prepared to travel anytime. Cindy knew something was going to happen soon because of the 27 but it was still the 26, then Nancy told her it was the 27th in Ukraine! If Cindy had gotten the phone call 3 hours earlier it would not of been. Our Father is Amazing…
On Oct. 4 Cindy got the call to book her flight. She booked it for Oct. 11 and had 1 week to raise the rest of the funds because she couldn't say anything until now and she couldn't fundraise before because no one believed she would travel because of the war. Long story short God did provide all the funds on her 2nd trip. On her first trip she found out that their little girl had open heart surgery a week before, and was still in the hospital. After being in country 10 days their 21 year old son was in an air crash with 4 fractures in his back. She flew home for 7 days and then returned knowing her son would recover but healing would take some time.
On December 4, 2014, just like God said, Abraham and Sarah came home with their mommy and daddy. It has been a year filled with Miracles,Blessings and also some of the most difficult times they have ever gone through. Helping little ones heal from being in a war, with bombing, is heartbreaking; seeing their little girl who was neither walking or talking, who is now running and never stops talking. Hearing their little son now leading and Praying over his little sister in Prayer.
Now God is calling us to step out again for our little boy. God gave Cindy the name Ayden Samuel awhile ago and now we know who our little Ayden Samuel is. Once again God keeps speaking and confirming. So they are stepping out in Faith again, Trusting their Father in the journey. Little Ayden had a family committed who sadly had to release him and Cindy has been in contact with his first momma. God has a perfect plan for each of our lives and our children, His children and His timing is Perfect. We can't always understand nor do we always have answers but in all of this we can Trust Him as He leads and guides us. They are Blessed that Ayden has large fsp, but they will still need to raise the rest of the funds. So they are stepping with joy into another journey to bring another little boy into their family and will be so humbly grateful to any help given for their little boy.

Ric and Melissa officially began their adoption process in 2016 but it had been growing in their hearts for many years prior to that. They currently have three girls: 7 ½ year old twins and a 5 ½ year old. "Beau" (or Bobo) was to be hosted by family friends over Christmas and Melissa's mom hinted that they should adopt him – not even knowing they had begun talking about adoption. God continued to layer this idea with things they read, people they talked with, Adoption Sunday at church… Melissa had been feeling prompted by God to adopt Bobo but it wasn't what she and Ric had initially talked about. One night they sat and prayed together about adoption and Melissa again mentioned Bobo. Ric's excitement was immediate and they wrote an email to the host mom. Melissa told him, "The way I've been feeling God call me to this, if we send this email I believe Bobo will be our son. Ric reached over her and hit send. As soon as they said yes to God, He immediately put a deep love for this child in their hearts. Over several days of talking and praying with their girls, one of them asked if they were going to adopt Bobo. When they were told yes, their daughter began jumping up and down saying, "Yes! I want Bobo! I want Bobo!" The girls have already grown in their love for their "big brother" and talk about and pray for him daily. Although this is not what they thought their adoption would look like, (is it ever?) Ric and Melissa are ecstatic and loving the journey God is leading them through. They are praying that God goes before them and prepares Bobo's heart (and theirs) for the transition. They couldn't be more thrilled and are excited to tell how God has fitted the pieces of this puzzle together so perfectly. Ric and Melissa ask for prayers for wisdom and patience.

BBC Trust okays high-definition TV channel
26 November, 2007:
The BBC Trust, which governs the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), has approved plans for a high-definition (HD) television.
According to a BBC report, "the BBC Trust determined that a high-definition television channel would generate sufficient public value and was not likely to have a negative effect on the market."
The BBC's high-definition channel would be launched on cable and Sky satellite as soon as possible, on Freesat when this platform is launched, and on Freeview after a review of digital spectrum capacity which is scheduled for 2008, the BBC report added.
The BBC Trust's decision on high-definition television, taken on November 19, 2007, follows an examination by the BBC Trust as well as by Britain's media regulator Ofcom and a Public Value study – all of which were found positive.
Mark Thompson, director-general of BBC, said the BBC "has pioneered high-definition broadcasting in the United Kingdom, setting industry standards. This single, composite BBC channel follows on from almost a dozen channels being transmitted in high-definition by BSkyB."
The BBC Trust, however, vetoed plans to launch an interim, 4-hour overnight service on Freeview, until technical standards for providing high-definition on Freeview and availability of spectrum capacity are clearer. The BBC Trust, the report said, was of the opinion that an interim service "could confuse consumers and cause them to buy equipment which could become obsolete."
Proposals for the Freeview service were put on hold because viewers might have been required to buy two new set-top boxes to receive the channel.
According to the BBC Trust, the high-definition channel should be mixed genre – comprising up to 20% of sport and film content. The HD channel has been designed so as not to become a direct competitor for HD channels showing sports and movies.
A trial version is already running on satellite and cable, showing such programs as Bleak House and Silent Witness.
The full channel will include a 9-hour schedule from 3 p.m. to midnight, with freedom to extend beyond those hours if necessary.

Democrats Have A Full-Blown Akin On Their Hands | Gun Control | Fox Nation
Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they're going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection?
From Revealing Politics: "It's why we have call boxes, it's why we have safe zones, it's why we have the whistles. Because you just don't know who you're gonna be shooting at. And you don't know if you feel like you're gonna be raped, or if you feel like someone's been following you around or if you feel like you're in trouble when you may actually not be, that you pop out that gun and you pop … pop around at somebody."
No, the Dems don't have a "full blown" (Tod) Akin on their hands, because the progressive propaganda media (let alone Karl Rove) won't report a word of this story.
Doesn't fit the narrative.
UPDATE: Yep: NYT search on "Joe Salazar" comes up empty vis this story. Ditto WaPo. Ditt LAT. Ditto CNN and all the rest of the probamaganda yapdogs.

Quality Tests for Lab-Raised Beneficial InsectsBy Jesús García
February 22, 2001
A few simple tests adapted by the Agricultural Research Service can now help commercial insectaries determine the quality of beneficial insects raised on artificial diets.
In biological control programs, researchers have in hand a variety of predatory insects, including the big-eyed bug, Geocoris punctipes, and the lacewing, Chrysoperla carnea. Beneficial insects such as these are used to check the spread of damaging crop pests like aphids, scale insects and mealybugs.
Instead of feeding the beneficials their natural diets, researchers have developed a variety of artificial ones--mainly composed of cooked chicken eggs, lima bean meal, wheat germ, soy flour, yeast, vitamins and preservatives--that provide the necessary nutrition at a fraction of the cost.
To determine which diet recipe produces the most vigorous insects, researchers have measured differences in the weight, longevity, biomass accumulation and fecundity the insects achieve. Now scientists with ARS Biological Control and Mass-Rearing Research Unit in Mississippi State, Miss., led by entomologist Allen C. Cohen, have adapted biochemical and immunological tests that will allow producers to measure the insects overall health.
The scientists found a correlation between the artificial diets and an increase in insects egg production. Insects reared on a diet made of chicken egg and a plant product--rather than chicken egg and a meat paste--had more yolk proteins in their eggs, which is predictive of a healthier insect. The researchers have also adapted enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA)--which are based on the ability of an antibody to recognize and bind to a specific antigen--to identify possible pathogens in the insects.
According to Cohen, these tests will help producers quickly and accurately predict whether a specific diet or rearing condition is good or bad for the insect, saving time and money in the process.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agricultures chief scientific research agency. More details about this work, published in the February issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

The 75th Anniversary of a Conservation Legacy
It was a close call. So close it makes you catch your breath. By 1862, 32 million Americans had hopped aboard a runaway train barreling toward a natural resources disaster— and most of them didn't even know it. While they were busy creating the richest and most powerful nation in the world, they were also laying waste to its very foundation: the 4 million square miles of some of the richest fish and wildlife habitat on Earth.
By the time the first transcontinental railway system broke open the West in 1869, vast herds of 100 million bison and 40 million pronghorn antelope pounding across the plains had vanished. An estimated 60 million beavers had been reduced to 100,000. Thirty to 40 million passenger pigeons, so dense in numbers that reports said it took literally hours for the skies to clear during their migrations, had disappeared. Waterfowl populations had plummeted. Swamps had been drained, prime habitat converted to agriculture, and market hunting continued unabated. Women in America and in Europe were parading the street in hats festooned with the feathers of egrets, herons, and 40 varieties of native birds. They would soon be wearing the entire bodies of birds on their heads. We were plucking America bare.
Nevertheless, most Americans at the time were not parading the streets with placards demanding conservation reform from their legislatures. Rather, they were toasting their good fortune built on the incalculable wealth of their land's rich soil, their free access to the silver and gold veins to be mined just under America's skin, and the seemingly limitless forests thrown over the country's mountains and lowlands like a cloak hiding a treasure of wildlife. America was just too vast, too fabulously abundant a landscape to succumb to the pinprick of mere mortals—or so we believed. We couldn't have been more wrong.
It was a matter of taking too much with too little knowledge of the consequences—and far too little restraint. From New York to California, from North Dakota to Florida, we all were to blame. But as history has proved so often, it would be the incremental steps of the few, committed for a lifetime, to wake the conservation consciousness of a slumbering nation. And it would take 75 years—nearly a century—to secure the restoration and future of America's fish and wildlife.
Awakening America to the need for conservation was a painfully slow process, with a monumental learning curve. We simply did not understand the intricate workings of the natural systems we were destroying. We did not understand predator/prey relationships, or habitat or range requirements. We did not understand the interrelatedness of all living things.
Nevertheless, by the late 1800s and early 1900s, a handful of unorthodox and strong-minded free-thinkers emerged with the political will and commitment to save what they recognized as America's greatest treasure. They were, by and large, America's sportsmen. In the first half of the 20th century, near total responsibility for natural resources fell directly on their shoulders. That's because state hunting and fishing license revenue provided the one stable funding source to protect, restore and manage fish and wildlife resources. With the creation of state fish and game agencies in the early 20th century, fish and wildlife were given a legislative voice—and a bank account. But it was not enough. Underfunded, understaffed and prone to political interference, these fledgling wildlife agencies more often than not confronted frustration and failure rather than success. The science of fish and wildlife management simply did not exist, and funds to better understand the principles of fish and wildlife restoration were non-existent. Little money was available to acquire land or pursue informed re-stocking schemes. Law enforcement was a slip-shod ineffective affair, often the work of ill-equipped, political appointees.
Nevertheless, like it or not, fish and game agencies were the sole stewards and watchdogs of their states' natural resources, operating in an unrestricted free-for-all, where horrific fish kills from industrial runoff were commonplace and protective environmental legislation an affront to a free-market economy. To top it off, agencies' precious hunting and fishing license revenues were perpetually threatened by cash-strapped state legislatures for diversion to other projects. As fish and wildlife populations continued their nosedive, there seemed very little those who cared most deeply about our country's fish and wildlife legacy could do about it. In 1929, a weary A. Willis Robertson, then director of Virginia's state fish and game agency, wrote to his good friend Billy Reed: "I have been rushed to death all of the summer and owing to the unsettled political conditions, or the inactivity of our wardens, or a growing consciousness of the value of wild life, I have gotten more kicks recently concerning various and sundry matters than at any time during the past three years and it has kept me busy trying to keep the various complainers and criticizers satisfied.
"Anyone who has an idea that a public job is a bed of roses should just lie on it for a few months and he will so find that the thorns are more prominent than the perfume."
But such men did not give up. All across the country, men like Robertson dug in, put down their heads and pushed forward. It took decades of persistence, of patience, and the certain cultivated wiliness of born sportsmen, because the problem of developing an effective program to restore our failing fish and wildlife populations was not only ecologically complex, it was politically complicated as well. Unlike our European counterparts, the United States had embraced a bold philosophy concerning its wildlife resources. We claimed our wildlife heritage as a public treasure, not a private one. Our unique North American Model of Wildlife Conservation designated the country's wildlife legacy a public responsibility owned by all, not by the few. But…if America's wildlife belonged to the people, and not to the landowners on whose land it might be found, then under whose jurisdiction did fish and wildlife governance fall? Was it a state or federal responsibility? And who then should foot the bill?
It was during the years of 1900 to 1937 that such questions were ironed out and the most effective program of fish and wildlife conservation in the world emerged. When Teddy Roosevelt was ushered into the White House in 1901, federal legislation got a presidential jumpstart. Emergency protective measures were launched, designed to secure great swathes of land as refuges for beleaguered wildlife. By 1913, the federal government had claimed custody of the migratory birds of the nation, establishing waterfowl hunting seasons in every state, and soon established protective international treaties. State fish and game agencies assumed responsibility for virtually all non-migratory fish and wildlife.
Nevertheless, the essential funding mechanisms necessary to fund long-term wildlife restoration programs on both state and federal levels was lacking. There simply wasn't enough money available to implement what people were beginning to realize would be a long-term and monumental task involving close state and federal cooperation and organizational partnerships. It took more than thirty years of coalition building, endless proposals and defeated legislation, bitter disappointment and deteriorating land use before an unusual opportunity arose, and the conditions miraculously right to grab it.
In 1936, a 10 percent federal excise tax on sporting guns and ammunition existed on the books. Congress at the time was in the process of abolishing such excise taxes, but sportsmen groups and other conservationists instead saw an opportunity to propose a diversion rather than a repeal of the tax. The idea was to divert the proceeds from the tax to the states for wildlife restoration projects to be matched on a 3:1 basis with state hunting and fishing license revenue. The ammunition companies supported the proposal, and Carl Shoemaker, former chief of the Oregon Department of Fish and Game, drafted the legislation. Shoemaker enlisted the support of Senator Key Pittman of Nevada to introduce the bill in the Senate. On the House side, Shoemaker approached Congressman A. Willis Robertson, who had moved to Congress from the Virginia Game Department four years earlier. When Shoemaker sat down with Robertson and handed him the bill, Robertson penciled in 29 words: "…and which shall include a prohibition against the diversion of license fees paid by hunters for any other purpose than the administration of said State fish and game department." With those words, Robertson secured the future of our fish and wildlife legacy. Robertson's work in Virginia had taught him how capricious state legislatures could be with its income and he wanted to make sure that the science of fish and wildlife management was taken out of the political arena. If a state wanted federal money to help them restore their wildlife, the state had to guarantee their fish and game department's right to use every dime of hunting and fishing license revenue to support it—period.
The Pittman-Robertson (P-R) Federal Aid to Wildlife Restoration Act sailed through Congress. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the bill into law on September 2, 1937 turning a deaf ear to protests from his budget office insisting that earmarking funds from excise taxes were not in the country's best interest. Today, on its 75th anniversary, the program has proved without a doubt that it has been in the very best of its country's interest. Its success has been nothing short of astounding.
The P-R program birthed the science of scientific wildlife management in this country. The program has always focused on "can-do" projects, like making white-tailed deer restoration possible by funding research on how to trap and transport deer to repopulate their historic range. And it has made it a priority to partner with sportsmen's groups like the National Wild Turkey Federation and Ducks Unlimited, partnerships which provide matching funds and support for research projects that embody the North American Model's philosophy of "public responsibility" for wildlife. Since 1937, more than $6.4 billion has been invested in wildlife restoration through the P-R program. It has turned into one of the most successful federal-state-conservationist-sportsmen partnerships in history.
With the passage of the P-R Act in 1937, sportsmen and other conservationists had built up a head of steam they were bound and determined to keep using. A companion bill to establish a stable and secure mechanism to fund the restoration of America's fisheries was the next goal. In California, Congressman Frank H. Buck introduced legislation in 1939 designed along the lines of the P-R Act to impose a 10 percent manufacturers' excise tax on fishing equipment and lures used for recreational fishing. Unfortunately, the bill died in committee. Undaunted, Congressman Buck introduced a similar bill two years later, but World War II halted its progress. Six years later in 1947, Congressman John Dingell, Sr. of Michigan revived the fisheries restoration bill, but it failed again to pass. Senator Edwin Johnson of Colorado introduced an identical bill the following year. Still, it would not be until 1950 that the United States finally had a Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Act that would be the genesis of a reliable funding source that has generated more than $5.4 billion for fisheries research, habitat restoration, recreational boating access, construction of fish hatcheries and aquatic education.
Through excise taxes and license revenues, sportsmen have contributed more than $12 billion to conservation through the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs (WSFR) and annually provide more than 80 percent of the funding for most state fish and wildlife agencies.
For 75 years, WSFR has been the engine driving the restoration and management of our fish and wildlife resources. It has been justly called the most successful conservation management program in the world. America's hunters, shooters, anglers and boaters can be proud to have held the program on their shoulders for 75 years. But WSFR is not the exclusive club of the sporting community. As Aldo Leopold, one of our country's greatest conservationists and crafters of the P-R Act reminds us: "One cannot divorce esthetics from utility, quality from quantity, present from future, either in deciding what is done to or for soil, or in educating the persons delegated to do it. All land-uses and land-users are interdependent, and the forces which connect them follow channels still largely unknown."
So, buy a hunting license even if you don't hunt. Buy a fishing license not because you fish, but as an affirmation of what is worth saving in this great country of ours. WSFR is an American legacy, fought for by sportsmen, supported by sportsmen, but open to all.
And if you are hunter, shooter, angler or boater—well, A. Willis Robertson would pipe up just about now that you ought to stop everything and march yourself right out into the great outdoors. In 1932, he wrote "…I feel that the high tension at which the average man has been living is wrecking entirely too many nervous systems. Hunting and fishing is the best nerve tonic I know, and I believe that a greater opportunity for the average citizen to engage in this type of outdoor recreation would greatly promote both the health and happiness of our people."

About a month ago I started noticing my left breast being more sensitive than usual, but I didn't pay too much attention. A couple of weeks ago a little touch would hurt me a lot and the sharp pain would last a minute or two. It's only my left breast, under the nipple or aroud that area and I'm concerned that It might be something bad, because now for no reason it just hurts constantly without any contact whatsoever and the pain is not going away. Is this sharp pain normal? What might this indicate?READ MORE
I agree with PJ. Because this is getting worse, not better, you definitely need to see your doctor. Your doctor may know right away what is causing the pain, but if not, be persistent in getting imaging tests like an ultrasound and/or mammogram to get more information.

Glad to be of help. Let us know what you find out. We always learn something new from patients' experiences. Best wishes for a good outcome!READ MORE
Sharp pain and discomfort like this isn't normal; and there's no telling if its source is something to worry about, or simply to put up with till it passes. Since it's getting worse, you should definitely see a doctor; s/he will be able to do the diagnostic tests that will tell you what this is, and how to treat it. MOST breast pain isn't cancer, but rather is hormonal; still, you do need to rule cancer out. Good luck - PJH
Thank you for your information. This is very helpful, especially the possibility that this could be hormonal helps me to worry a little less, and I will definitely go get it checked out in the mean time so I can rule out cancer or anything major as you said. Thanks for your time and expertise!READ MORE

In Prust we trust
Just when you thought you had seen every side of Brandon Prust's game…
After firing his team up with a bout against league heavyweight Milan Lucic on Sunday, the Habs' resident tough-guy assumed the role of offensive catalyst on Thursday night, netting a goal and two assists in the Canadiens' 4-2 win over Carolina. Prust opened the scoring to get the Habs on the board early in the first, banging home a rebound in front of the net before helping Josh Gorges double their lead less than four minutes later with a picture-perfect saucer pass he that landed right on the defenseman's tape.
|The Habs celebrate their second goal of the night
"Backhand sauce – my specialty," joked the winger, before giving his account of the goal. "I just saw Gorges streaking to the net and I knew he had his guy beat, so I threw it towards him and he was able to bury it."
The 28-year-old London native completed his scoring for the night with another heads-up play that helped Gorges set up the Habs' go-ahead goal which Lars Eller, enjoying a three-point night of his own, would ultimately net.
"I'm just trying to keep doing the little things. I definitely played one of my better games tonight where the puck was just kind of going in," continued Prust, who as luck would have it, logged the first three-point night of his NHL career during his 303rd game in the league on Thursday. "Other times you can play the best game of your life but get nothing. Tonight, we got some good bounces and the guys were burying their opportunities."
With a goal and an assist already under his belt heading into a second period that saw the momentum shift to the Hurricanes bench, more than a few Habs fans were likely expecting the owner of seven 2012-13 bouts to drop his gloves and complete the Gordie Howe hat trick.
"I was trying to think about when the last time I had one of those was. I used to do it in the Juniors all the time," admitted Prust, who ultimately kept his gloves on, but did manage to throw three hits over 17:22 of ice time. "In the second period when we lost momentum, I was kind of thinking about it, but I knew we were going to be able to come back out and battle back and that's what we did."
While the night clearly belonged to the line of Prust, Alex Galchenyuk and Eller, Thursday's game represented the third consecutive match that saw a different line step up, with Brian Gionta, Tomas Plekanec and Michael Ryder enjoying big nights against the Islanders, and Max Pacioretty, David Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher having their turn against the Bruins in Boston.
"We've got three lines firing right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if the fourth line came up big for us in the next game," added Prust, who also offered up praise for Carey Price's bounce back night that saw him turn aside 41 of 43 shots including an Eric Staal penalty shot to keep the game tied at two. "When you have four lines you can roll like this, everybody gets their rest because we know we can rely on each other. That's the key to our game."
While the Canadiens' team game has certainly been the secret to their success, head coach Michel Therrien was happy to single out the work turned in by the night's first star.
"We already knew he was a leader. We knew he was a guy that showed up to play each and every night. Right now he's getting the chance, maybe for the first time in his career, to show that he can really play hockey," shared Therrien following the match. "We have him playing on the first three lines, we give him a lot of responsibility – not only defensively, but offensively as well. At the moment he's playing the best hockey of his career."
The Habs will look to carry Thursday's momentum over into the fourth game of their current road trip when they face the Lightning Saturday night in Tampa Bay.

The Real Poop
Are you ready for the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth?
Do you know how to brush your teeth? According to the Mentadent Smart Mouth Survey, two out of three adults do not know how to properly brush their teeth. To properly brush your teeth, you must hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle against your gums. (Oh great—we need to know geometry, too?) Start by brushing the outer tooth surfaces, move to the inner tooth surfaces and finish on the chewing surfaces of your teeth. The brush should move in tooth-wide strokes. Be sure to brush your tongue to remove bacteria. Seriously.
You've got to love teeth, gums, and tongues to become a dentist or really work in anything in the ToothWorld. If the sight of a root canal grosses you out, this gig may not be the right career for you. Dentists, who are general practitioners, do not put braces on people. Those of you who take great pleasure in torturing kids with braces and headgear have to go the orthodontist route.
Dentists remove plaque from teeth, fill cavities, repair cracked teeth, extract (remove) teeth, treat gum problems, write prescriptions, examine x rays, and make models for dental appliances like dentures. The majority of dentists are general practitioners, but there are dentists who practice specialized fields. Others recommend toothpaste brands. Don't be that pain in the rear guy who is the 1 out of 5 who votes the other way.
Other flavors of dentist:
Endodontists: Perform root canals. Yay! Everyone loves these guys.
Oral Radiologists: Diagnose and treat diseases in the neck and head.
Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons: Operate on the gums, neck, head, teeth, jaws, and mouth. They also repair cleft lips and remove impacted teeth. They are also highly feared and respected in the hallways behind the studio where Wheel of Fortune is filmed.
Oral Pathologists: Diagnose oral diseases such as oral cancer.
Periodontists: Treats gums and bones around the teeth.
Prosthodontists: Replace missing teeth. Hockey players have these guys on speed dial.
How do you choose what career path to take in the dentistry world?
Basically, you will have plenty of time to decide. Dentists generally earn their bachelor's degree before entering dental school. Then there are four years of dental school. Most graduates then find themselves in a residency program for at least a year. Before you can fill anyone's cavity on your own (really not recommended for a number of reasons), you must get a license within your state; typically, states have their own requirements for obtaining a dental license. To become licensed, you must have a degree from an accredited dental school (no online dental degrees) and pass an exam (divided into "written" and "practical"). Once you have your license, where do you set up shop?
Dentists may work in offices with a group of other dentists or on their own. If you work for an established dentist, you usually are considered an "associate dentist." Like others in the medical field, there is a good likelihood that you will have to answer emergency calls. Many dentists have to be available for their patients at night and on weekends. Sometimes, they have another dentist or their associate dentist come in if there is an emergency. For that reason, you never really know when you'll have to put down that fishing pole or shopping bag and come into the office.
For the most part, your hours will be normal business hours. Many people go into dentistry for that reason. Normal hours, good pay, and a relatively stress free atmosphere are some of the benefits of this career path. Despite the great pay and comfortable working environment, you may see some gnarly stuff. For fun, look up "bad teeth" in your search engine of choice.
Why do people let their dental hygiene go?
More than one million Americans don't go to the dentist…because they can't afford it. Sadly (and disgustingly), one in four children suffer from tooth decay and one in four Medicare beneficiaries are missing all of their natural teeth. The result is a country with severe dental problems. Unfortunately, people wait until they absolutely have to go see someone. Furthermore, people are afraid of dentists; afraid of the pain they may experience, strange instruments, and the sound of the drill. And, in extreme cases, monsters hiding under the dental chair.
Good dentists are able to put people's fears at rest, explain complicated procedures and create a welcoming atmosphere in their office. In addition, dentists must be patient, have leadership skills, employ problem-solving skills, and be able to effectively communicate to their staff and clients. Ready to drill some teeth? Well, we're telling you the tooth.

Tim Ball's Personal Climate Campaign Continues [1]
Richard Littlemore [2] | June 15, 2006
By Richard Littlemore [2] • Thursday, June 15, 2006 - 14:29
The "Friends of Science" climate campaigner Dr. Tim Ball embarrasses himself today in the National Post with an article [3] praising the prospect of global warming. Ball has been on a privately funded, cross-country tour arguing that climate change is either not occurring or occurring regardless of the activities of humankind. Now, apparently because he used to live in a town with a chilly winter (Winnipeg), he acknowledges that warming is happening and suggests its a good thing.
Ball talks about warmer summers, without mentioning longer droughts. He talks about longer growing season without mentioning the increasing frequency of devastating floods. (It's one of the unpleasant perversities of climate change that you increase the risks of getting both floods AND droughts, often in the same year.) Dr. Ball talks about "reduced fuel bills for travel" without mentioning that dangerous weather events might be making the old Caribbean holiday destinations too dangerous to visit.
It is clear, once again, that Ball doesn't really care what he has to say. He doesn't care whether it's true (see his quotes on CO2 corelations with temperature in this post [4]). He doesn't care if it's sensible. He doesn't appear to care that climate change poses serious threats to billions of people, as long as his friends in Winnipeg can sow more plant varieties in their gardens.
All he appears to care about is undermining any social or political support for action on climate change. It makes us wonder, once again: Who's paying your bills, doc?

Belgium Ticks Toward Iraqi Record
Regular readers will know that there's been no Belgian government since elections last June, with arguments over institutional reform and electoral districts leading to political paralysis in this small, frite-eating contradiction of a country. While Belgium snared the European record for longest negotiations months ago, easily smashing the Netherlands' 1977 best of 208 days, the world record will take longer to beat… but how much?
Like all hotly debated questions of the modern age, the matter has a Facebook page. The argument hinges on how long it took Iraq to form a government after elections in March 2010, and whether you count the number of days to agree on a coalition, or the number of days for said government to start work. The work is different in Belgium and Iraq, of course: one is a country created by a treaty to act as a buffer state, riven by ethnic and religious divides, with a short coastline and surrounded by powerful neighbours, and the other is Iraq.
Iraq held elections on March 7, 2010, and agreed on a coalition on Nov. 11, according to the U.N. Security Council — 249 days later. Its government started work 40 days later on Dec. 22, giving the 289 days figure used by the Belgian election-record countdown clock.
The Belgians hit 249 Thursday and, as the season of political infighting, sex bans, and rumors about eating waffles drags on, will surely cruise to 250 on Friday.
But getting a government is just the first milestone. The likelihood of its sitting down right away and passing some laws is as remote as your finding Westvleteren beer at the supermarket. To be undisputed champions of nongovernance, the Belgians just need to do nothing until March 30.
What an honor!
And if Witloof Bay can win the Eurovision song contest, it'll be a spring of glory for the birthplace of surrealism.

The Ratproxy security scanner looks for vulnerabilities in web applications
Rat Catcher
Google's Ratproxy is a free testing tool that searches for security problems in web applications.
Several test suites help you look for vulnerabilities in web-based applications [1] [2], but many of these applications are expensive or difficult to use. Wouldn't it be nice just to press a button to find out what vulnerabilities exist in your own software – along with a line reference to help you find the problems in the source code?
Ratproxy [1] is a tiny but powerful tool with a simple approach to searching for problems in web applications. The Ratproxy security testing tool originated in the development labs Google, where it was created to test Google's own applications. In July 2008, the company decided to release the current version to the general public under the Apache License 2.0.
Because Ratproxy does not cause a noticeable increase in network traffic, it even lets you check applications that are deployed in production environments. (Other scanners launch DOS or cross-site scripting attacks that are likely to bring a production system to its knees.)
Setting the Mousetrap
Deploying Ratproxy is simple: Just download the source code from the homepage and run make to build the dozen or so source files. The tool does not require a configure script or have any major dependencies. What you do need are the libcrypto and libssl libraries (typically supplied as part of the OpenSSL distribution) and corresponding headers.
Starting the test tool is slightly more complicated: No fewer than 22 parameters (Table 1) govern the nature and scope of the tests Ratproxy performs. The parameters are also responsible for defining the level of detail to output. To avoid being plowed under in an avalanche of messages when you first launch the program, start with the default settings:
./ratproxy -v /tmp -w ratproxy.log -d mydomain.com -lfscm
This command points Ratproxy at the web application in the mydomain.com domain. Ratproxy will ignore any URLs not on this server. (This approach is a way of making sure that Ratproxy will not run off and accidentally test external ad sites.) The http traffic sniffed by Ratproxy is dumped into a multitude of tiny files in the temporary directory (-v /tmp), whereas the analysis of the results – that is, the information you are actually interested in – is stored in ratproxy.log. The Ratproxy Parameters box explains the Pandora's box of command-line options.
If you prefer a full broadside, you can change the parameters as follows:
./ratproxy -v /tmp -w ratproxy.log -d mydomain.com -lextifscgjm
The optional duo -XC (note the uppercase letter in the command name), releases Ratproxy from its passive role. Once released, Ratproxy will check to see how well your web application withstands XSS and XSRF attacks (-X), and it will repeat requests with modified parameters (-C).
If the web application returns Flash objects, Ratproxy can disassemble and analyze them. Ratproxy relies on the Flare ActionScript decompiler for this; unfortunately, Flare is only available as a prebuilt closed source application. By default, Ratproxy supports execution on x86 processors. A version for 64-bit Linux is available on the Flare homepage [4]. First you must download the file, unpack it, and store the results in flare-dist.
Shadowing the User
Ratproxy's interactive orientation has several benefits, but it is also the tool's major deficiency. If the user does not execute a function, Ratproxy does not test it. Before you launch Ratproxy, you should think carefully about which parts of the web application you want to test – and in which order.
Once you see the message Accepting connections on port 8080/tcp (local only), you know that the test tool is listening on port 8080 for incoming browser requests. The next step is to set up the browser to direct all communications via Ratproxy. The easiest way of doing this is to enter this port as a proxy on your own machine (127.0.0.1 or localhost) (Figure 1).
This tells the browser to forward all requests to localhost:8080, where Ratproxy will analyze the requests before passing them on to the web application (Figure 2). Because the test tool sniffs traffic passively, all of this is absolutely transparent and has only a minimal effect on execution speed. The -X and -C parameters, however, are an exception to this rule. They tell Ratproxy to switch to "disruptive mode" and actively interfere with communications. (The effects of these parameters will vary.)
If you use a genuine proxy to access the web, which is the case in many corporate environments, you need to pass the -P host:port parameter to Ratproxy, in which host and port represent the data for your proxy. This feature means you can deploy Ratproxy as part of a chain of other test tools.
The next step is to access the web application in your browser and work in the normal way. To avoid interference from other sources, Google recommends closing all other browser windows and flushing the browser cache before you start. Ratproxy will now monitor all your actions and log them in ratproxy.log.
In the case of SSL-encrypted data, Ratproxy will replace the certificate served up by the web application with its own. A good browser will alert you to this. To carry on with the test, you must accept the new certificate. The Ratproxy documentation [1] warns against storing the certificate permanently in your browser. After all, everyone who downloads Ratproxy knows the certificate. Because Ratproxy forces a certificate on you, another problem appears: Ratproxy negotiates all further steps with the web application, so you can't be 100 percent certain that you are talking to your own server. Thus, you should avoid using critical (administrative) accounts or entering sensitive data while being monitored by the tool.
On top of this, you should resist the temptation to use wget to feed the website to Ratproxy. Most of Ratproxy's tests rely on user interaction and would simply be dropped in the case or a wget command.

AUGUSTA, Ga.— A.J. Bowman and Garret Siler combined for 42 points on 18-for-22 shooting as #18 Augusta State (11-3, 6-1 PBC) earned revenge against visiting #7 USC Aiken (13-2, 7-1 PBC) 75-59 Monday night before a packed house at Christenberry Fieldhouse in Peach Belt Conference men's basketball action. The Jaguars handed the Pacers first loss in league play and avenged a 70-67 loss at USCA on November 28.
USC Aiken jumped out to an early lead as Cody Ballard sandwiched a Chris Commons' steal and dunk with two layups as the Pacers led 6-2. ASU responded with eight-straight points before USCA regained the lead 11-10 on a Job Casimir triple.
With Commons, the PBC's leading scorer, on the bench in foul trouble, Augusta State closed the first half with a 26-8 run to take a commanding 36-19 halftime lead. Bowman knocked down 4-for-6 field goals and all four of his free throw attempts for 13 first-half points. Siler added eight points on 4-for-5 shooting as ASU held dominating margins in both points in the paint (24-6) and on the glass (20-11).
USC Aiken (10-4, 4-4 PBC) struggled for 40 minutes to find their range on Monday evening, tying the school's NCAA-era mark for fewest points scored in a game in a tough 48-37 loss to rival Augusta State (10-4, 4-3 PBC) in women's Peach Belt Conference basketball at Christenberry Fieldhouse. The Lady Pacers had their modest two-game winning streak halted.
Augusta State dealt the Lady Pacers their sixth-straight road loss in the series while the 37 points ties the school's NCAA-era record for futility set on January 13, 1999 in an 86-37 defeat to USC Upstate. It is also the fewest points since the Lady Pacers put up 31 in a loss at Francis Marion on February 17, 1986.
The Lady Pacers hit their first two shots to open on a quick 5-0 run at the 18:43 mark. That was the end of good shooting, however, as USCA missed its next 11 shots and 19 of their next 20 to fall behind 19-9 with 3:43 left in the half.

Max Secure Spyware Detector 2.0: No Spyware, Sherlock--Kind of...
- Dec 18, 2006 5:11 PM EST
- [num] Comments
According to the inimitable Dr. Watson, in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlett (via The Wikipedia, naturally), literature's most famous detective was well-versed in literature, philosophy, astronomy, politics, botany, geology, chemistry, anatomy, British law, the violin, singlestick playing, boxing, and sword fighting. Were the man alive today (and, you know, actually a real person and stuff), it seems almost certain that he would a master of all things spyware, as well. Fortunately, where Holmes comes up short (spyware analysis, not being fake, et al.) we have Neil J. Rubenking picking up the slack. Sherlock Rubenking takes a look at Max Secure's Spyware Detector 2.0 over at PCMag.com, and discovers that, while "the world's fastest spyware scan" does a fine job quickly sleuthing for existing spyware on your system, keeping new malware off of a clean system is an entirely different story.
