Windows Protection Master
Windows Protection Master Description
Windows Protection Master holds membership in a broad group of fake anti-malware and debugging scanners that imitate Microsoft Security Essentials by providing fraudulent error reports. These reports are delivered as a way to scam victims into spending money on Windows Protection Master's complete version to fix nonexistent issues and should always be disregarded as irrelevant and deceptive in nature. Because rogue debuggers from Windows Protection Master's family have been noted for their ability to disable many types of security and system analysis applications, SpywareRemove.com malware research team recommends that you treat Windows Protection Master as a severe threat to your computer's security until you've removed all of Windows Protection Master's components, ideally with a competent anti-malware scanner.
Windows Protection Master: Scamware That's Protective Only for Itself
Windows Protection Master was first noted by many PC security companies in February of 2012, although Windows Protection Master's family has been in existence since early 2011. Some of the many clones from the same family as Windows Protection Master include Windows Advanced Toolkit, Windows Web Combat, PrivacyGuard PRO, Windows Maintenance Guard, Windows Component Protector, Windows Internet Guard, Internet Security Essentials, Windows Antivirus Release, Windows PC Aid, Windows Expert Series, Malware Protection, Windows Malware Firewall, Windows Web Watchdog, Windows Trojans Inspector, Extra Antivirus, Windows Safety Wizard, Windows Defence Master, Windows AntiBreach Helper, Windows Guardian Angel, Windows Efficiency Master, Windows Privacy Extension, Windows Crucial Scanner, Windows Antivirus Rampart, Windows Enterprise Suite, Personal Security Sentinel, System Smart Security, Windows Safety Manager, Windows Pro Defence, Windows Sleek Performance, Windows Security Booster, Windows Security Renewal, Windows Antivirus Patch, Windows Defence Unit, Volcano Security Suite, Windows Antihazard Solution, Enterprise Suite, Windows Cleaning Tools, Windows Privacy Module, Windows Secure Workstation, Total Anti Malware Protection, Windows Protection Unit, Windows Protection Tool, Windows Prime Booster, Windows Safety Module, Windows Secure Surfer, Windows Foolproof Protector, Smart Security and Smart Virus Eliminator. These applications use a combination of fake percentile-based ratings of your computer's safety and a feature set that imitates the appearance of the look of Microsoft Security Essentials to make you think that nonexistent attacks against your PC are occurring on an ongoing basis.
However, SpywareRemove.com malware analysts stress that Windows Protection Master, like other products from the FakeVimes group, isn't able to detect or eliminate real problems with your PC. Hence, if you see warning messages that resemble the following samples, you should ignore them as fraudulent examples of Windows Protection Master's scam:
System Security Warning
Attempt to modify register key entries is detected.
Location: [Application file path]
Viruses: Backdoor.Win32.Rbot
Name: [Application file name]
Name: [Application file path]
Application that seems to be a key-logger is detected. System information security is at risk. It is recommended to enable the security mode and run total System scanning.
Warning! Database update failed!
Database update failed!
Outdated viruses databases are not effective and can't [sic] guarantee adequate protection and security for your PC!
Click here to get the full version of the product and update the database!
Mastering a Defense Against Windows Protection Master's Attacks
Windows Protection Master and similar PC threats have also received attention for their ability to detect and close processes that they deem to be undesirable; in most cases, such processes are noted to be related to system security, analysis or the removal of malicious software like Windows Protection Master. SpywareRemove.com malware research team has found that some of the programs that Windows Protection Master may close include:
- Windows monitoring tools like Task Manager that could detect or close malicious processes like Windows Protection Master's own memory process
- Registry tools like the Registry Editor that could be used to remove Windows Protection Master's automatic startup entries.
- Torrent and other types of mass-downloading applications.
- Webcam utilities.
- Photoshop-related applications and other types of Adobe programs.
- Certain types of e-mail clients, including Outlook.
- Some web browsers (such as Opera).
- Popular brands of instant messaging clients.
- Script packages such as Flash and Java.
- Google-brand products.
- iTunes.
Because Windows Protection Master may enumerate your memory processes on a constant basis, Windows Protection Master may also use up excessive system resources and cause performance issues. Nonetheless, although Windows Protection Master and its clones are able to attack a wide range of applications, SpywareRemove.com malware researchers also note that Windows Protection Master hasn't been found to attack most types of anti-malware scanners. Thus, a competent anti-malware program should be able to delete Windows Protection Master without encountering issues.
Windows Protection Master Automatic Detection Tool (Recommended)
Is your PC infected with Windows Protection Master? To safely & quickly detect Windows Protection Master we highly recommend you run the malware scanner listed below.

Threat Metric
The Threat Meter is a malware assessment that SpywareRemove.com's research team is able to give every identifiable malware threat. Our Threat Meter includes several criteria based off of specific malware threats to value their severity, reach and volume. The Threat Meter is able to give you a numerical breakdown of each threat's initial Threat Level, Detection Count, Volume Count, Trend Path and Percentage Impact. The overall ranking of each threat in the Threat Meter is a basic breakdown of how all threats are ranked within our own extensive malware database. The scoring for each specific malware threat can be easily compared to other emerging threats to draw a contrast in its particular severity. The Threat Meter is a useful tool in the endeavor of seeking a solution to remove a threat or pursue additional analytical research for all types of computer users.
The following fields listed on the Threat Meter containing a specific value, are explained in detail below:
Threat Level: The threat level scale goes from 1 to 10 where 10 is the highest level of severity and 1 is the lowest level of severity. Each specific level is relative to the threat's consistent assessed behaviors collected from SpyHunter's risk assessment model.
Detection Count: The collective number of confirmed and suspected cases of a particular malware threat. The detection count is calculated from infected PCs retrieved from diagnostic and scan log reports generated by SpyHunter.
Volume Count: Similar to the detection count, the Volume Count is specifically based on the number of confirmed and suspected threats infecting systems on a daily basis. High volume counts usually represent a popular threat but may or may not have infected a large number of systems. High detection count threats could lay dormant and have a low volume count. Criteria for Volume Count is relative to a daily detection count.
Trend Path: The Trend Path, utilizing an up arrow, down arrow or equal symbol, represents the level of recent movement of a particular threat. Up arrows represent an increase, down arrows represent a decline and the equal symbol represent no change to a threat's recent movement.
% Impact (Last 7 Days): This demonstrates a 7-day period change in the frequency of a malware threat infecting PCs. The percentage impact correlates directly to the current Trend Path to determine a rise or decline in the percentage.

With Action Comics #1, we looked at the five biggest changes DC's 'The New 52' brought to Superman. We were introduced to a slightly different Superman as we got a glimpse at this new universe. It felt like that would be the end of it but issue #2 continues to bring in some changes in Superman's life.
In the first issue, the younger and brasher Superman showed he was willing to seek out the bad guys rather than wait around for them to do a foul act. After this demonstration, Lex Luthor and General Lane set their plan into motion. Knowing there was something different with Superman, they were determined to put him to the ultimate test. Issue #1 ended with Superman essentially being defeated as a result of saving the lives of hundreds of innocent Metropolis civilians.
The second issue of Action Comics takes us away from the heart of Metropolis and gives us an introduction to several characters that are destined to play larger roles in the Superman Universe. As before, we will look at these differences and there will be some minor spoilers below. Be sure to read the excellent issue (the review can be seen here).== TEASER ==
Lex Luthor Hates Superman From the Beginning
We've seen different versions of Lex Luthor over the years. Originally he was a squat red-headed scientist that wasn't even fully named in his first appearance. The mad scientist angle eventually gave away to the slightly slimmer ruthless and power hungry businessman courtesy of John Byrne. Later, Lex slimmed down even more as he developed a hatred for the Man of Steel.
In Action Comics, he is working with the government. He is in a high position and is able to bark out orders and countermand the advice of the experts as Superman is examined. Lex has always been envious of Superman's power. Here, it's not entirely clear what his vendetta is against the hero. He wants to know what he's made of but it's evident that there is more to it that he's letting on. As is usual with Lex, his motives go beyond what he lets on and who he might align himself with will make an interesting story.
Dr. John Henry Irons Works For the Government
After almost losing his life, Irons built a suit and became the armored hero known as Steel. The man we see working with the U.S. Army doesn't have the same build as the man we know. Despite working with the likes of General Lane and Lex Luthor, there is a redeeming quality to the man. It remains to be seen what his future will hold and when, if ever, will he align himself with Superman.
The fact that Irons is involved with the government at this point does open the possibility of him constructing the Steel suit sooner rather than later. We'll have to pay close attention to see what he does after this issue.
Is John Corben Fated to Become Metallo?
Corbet is an obedient soldier here. There's not a clear indication whether he's good or evil. In the Golden Age he was a scientist with a powered suit of armor. In the Silver Age he was a journalist and a thief who almost died in a car crash. That's not the case here.
Corbet also shares a past with Lois as well. While details aren't given, you get the impression that the two have spent some time together apart from the moments Lois tries to talk to her father on the Army base. Could it be that a past relationship and Lois' current fascination with Superman will drive Corbet into becoming one of Superman's deadly villains?
Superman Has New Powers?
While Superman isn't as powerful as we're used to or as he's seen in 'Superman,' he has been shown having some different abilities. One difference was revealed when the scientists attempted to get an x-ray of Superman.
We saw last issue that Superman can get a little battered. He isn't as invulnerable as he was before. He's taking a beating from the scientist but when they attempt to get a blood sample, one technician mentions seeing tissue damage repair itself in front of him.
As for his eyes, Superman still has x-ray vision but mentions they absorb radiation but also 'emit all kinds.' This includes emitting microwaves. This comes in handy here, and not in a cooking an enchilada sort of way.
One thing that has varied over the years is where Superman got his uniform. The common explanation was it was in part from Krypton (a baby blanket found in his ship) as well as being made by Martha Kent. There's also been the question of why his suit hardly ever got ripped up. It was mentioned before that Superman had some sort of force field surrounding his body, so close that it protected his clothes but not his cape. In 'The New 52,' Superman won't have to worry about replacing his cape. As you can see above, it's indestructible.
There is mention of another item belonging to Superman. I won't spoil that but there has been a redesign and more information is given in the commentary at the end of the issue. Seeing the changes is pretty cool.
That wraps up the major changes seen in Action Comics #2. It's becoming clear that we haven't seen the end to the changes. There is bound to be more on the way. We'll have to wait for issue #3 to see what else is coming.

Transporting items from the US into Canada can give even the most experienced transporter a good scare, and rightfully so.
The Canadian border, which stretches across 8,891 Kilometers (5,524 miles) of land and water, is the longest, non-militarized border in the world. Needless to say, the Canadian customs process is quite complex and requires very specific transportation knowledge.
Before you cross the border with someone else's items in tow, it's imperative that you understand this not-so-seamless process. Of course the most valuable knowledge comes from first-hand experience, but Inbound Logistics Magazine compiled the exceptional list below to help guide your trips across the border.
Ten Tips for Getting Shipments Across the Canadian Border
1. Compliance requirements change. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) continually revises compliance requirements, which means businesses or their logistics partner/customs broker need to ensure they are aware of changes and in compliance. Shipments arriving at the border without the updated classifications face delays, incorrect duty and tariff assessments, and possibly denial of entry.
2. Avoid hidden charges. Unexpected and additional delivery charges are a significant issue for Canadian consumers. The Non-Resident Importer program was developed for U.S. businesses to act as an importer of record, meaning all taxes and customs fees can be paid in advance. Make sure your business or logistics partner is able to provide a comprehensive landed cost, so customers are not surprised with additional fees at time of delivery.
3. Trade agreements offer economic incentives. NAFTA is the agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, and provides tariff-free trade on shipments. Participants must follow specific, sometimes confusing, guidelines in order to benefit from key provisions. It's important to understand NAFTA benefits are not automatic; your logistics provider/customs broker can navigate the process.
4. Trusted shipper programs speed clearance process. Recent security mandates and compliance regulations have caused longer wait times, increased inspections, and bureaucratic red tape. Until a permanent fix is found, each government operates trusted shipper programs to allow certified carriers preferential treatment upon arrival at the border. Make sure your shipment is traveling with a trusted carrier who is a participant in both U.S. and Canadian programs.
5. Consolidation is key for smaller shipments. An experienced logistics provider will combine your smaller packages with other shipments for easier and faster border clearance. A consolidated shipment will clear the border as a single unit. The alternative would be for each small package to wait in a queue for inspection and individual clearance.
6. Canada has gone Paperless: Not entirely, but the border clearance process is largely conducted via web-based portals and online transactions. CBSA's border security system, the Advance Commercial Information(ACI) program, requires carriers to electronically submit shipment information prior to arrival at the border. It's important for your carrier to be (a) aware of the ACI mandates, and (b) able to access its eManifest operating system.
7. Your government may pay you for shipping to Canada. Both U.S. and Canadian governments operate programs to entice cross-border trade. CBSA operates the Non-Resident Importer program, which allows U.S. businesses to avoid going to their customers with an additional invoice for unexpected duties and fees. In the U.S., the Duty Drawback program reimburses businesses for import fees that are paid on materials used in the manufacture of goods then subsequently exported. Businesses aren't tuned into these programs, but a qualified carrier should be.
8. All provinces are not the same. Not unlike individual states in the U.S., each province in Canada imposes its own taxes and has its own system for calculating and collecting those fees. Some provinces subject goods to a "harmonized tax" that includes federal and provincial tax, while other provinces impose a "goods and services tax," which only includes federal tax. It's important to understand exactly what your shipment's tax obligations will be, and have those taxes paid at time of purchase.
9. Be sure you can reach your customers. Canada is the second largest country in the world, based on land mass. While roughly 80 percent of the population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border, it is essential to have capacity to reach Canadians located in non-urban areas.
10. Partner with an experienced logistics provider. Businesses entering the Canadian market rely on their logistics partner not only to transport their shipments, but also to offer recommendations about how to improve performance, insight into the Canadian culture, and help in developing an efficient supply chain. Not every logistics provider can deliver as advertised. They do not have the expertise in the Canadian market that they claim. Ask questions, demand documentation, and check with other businesses. Don't find out the hard way!

Waiting for a Final Resting Place; Friends Seek Proper Burial for a Former Tunnel Dweller
By NINA BERNSTEIN
Published: June 11, 1999
For 13 years, Jose Camacho lived in the cavernous dark of an abandoned Amtrak railroad tunnel under Riverside Park, part of a subterranean clan of homeless people who scavenged their existence from the city's leavings. He died last month at 54 in a sunny one-bedroom in the Bronx that he finally secured in 1996 through the kindness of strangers and a rare Government subsidy.
Now, death has made Mr. Camacho homeless again. Unless his decomposed body can be officially identified and money raised for a funeral, a city morgue will send him to a potter's field on Hart Island for an anonymous burial.
But in death, as in life, Mr. Camacho is not friendless. A city police detective moved by the story of his climb from the depths and a photographer who documented his tunnel shantytown are trying to give Mr. Camacho a grave of his own.
They have joined forces with the Coalition for the Homeless, the nonprofit agency that helped Mr. Camacho and other tunnel denizens win an unusual set of Federal housing subsidies in the mid-1990's, when Amtrak's reclamation of the rail line doomed their underground dwellings. Once again, the effort involves overcoming obstacles of poverty and paperwork to break through the isolation of the longtime homeless.
Though no one doubts that the body in the morgue is that of Mr. Camacho, who was disabled by heart disease, the city considers a photograph inadequate for formal identification. Many days had passed by the the time his death came to the notice of the superintendent of his building on College Avenue in Morrisania on May 25. Usually the city keeps an unclaimed body for no more than two weeks. But Floyd Coor, the police detective working on the case, said he prevailed on a friend at the morgue to wait a little longer.
Mr. Camacho, who was 16 when he followed his dreams to New York City from Puerto Rico, had no contact with relatives and fewer than a dozen telephone numbers in the address book found by the police in his lovingly decorated, meticulously kept apartment. Most of the numbers seemed to be out of date.
But one belonged to Margaret Morton, a photographer and associate professor of art at Cooper Union who had befriended Mr. Camacho while working on ''The Tunnel'' (Yale University Press, 1995), a book of her black-and-white photographs with text drawn from interviews with residents of the shadowy, two-mile stretch of unused rail line in Manhattan.
''For me, Jose was a symbol of the dignity of survival,'' said Ms. Morton, recalling her astonishment at the ordered domesticity inside the tiny plywood shack Mr. Camacho had built at the south end of the tunnel near 72d Street and the Hudson River. Dishes were neatly stacked on a tablecloth, his bed was made, and pictures hung on bright white walls, including a luminous detail from Seurat's ''Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.''
Just outside, in darkness occasionally pierced by a shaft of light from a distant air vent, Mr. Camacho cooked his meals on a campfire grill and showered under a coffee can with water he hauled and heated daily.
In the ''topside'' world, he had spent years in menial jobs, including mopping floors in a restaurant and loading trucks in the garment center for a textile factory. But the factory closed at the end of the 1970's, leaving him without money for rent, according to the account he gave Ms. Morton. Alcohol, sleep and the daily demands of making a home in a rat-infested tunnel now kept him going, he told her.
''He really didn't expect to have a life beyond the tunnel,'' Ms. Morton said, ''and when he did, he was overjoyed.''
The program that made it possible was established in response to another group of subterranean New Yorkers, an estimated 1,500 living in the subway system in tunnels, squalid utility rooms and narrow passageways between tracks.
In 1994, Henry Cisneros, then the Federal Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, was taken on a subway tour by an advocate for the homeless. Horrified when a flashlight beam revealed one such encampment, Mr. Cisneros asked one of the inhabitants what it would take to get him out of the subway system. The man replied with a question of his own: ''Do you have an apartment for me?''
Within weeks, Mr. Cisneros had used an obscure emergency provision of Federal law to earmark 250 housing subsidy vouchers exclusively for subway dwellers. He also approved a $9 million grant for the program, the first created for such a specific group, saying it could be expanded if it were successful. In effect, Mr. Cisneros was using his discretion to jump subway dwellers to the head of the line for so-called Section 8 vouchers, which pay private landlords the difference between market rent and what a tenant in the program can pay.
But nine months later, when Ms. Morton alerted the Coalition for the Homeless to the plight of Amtrak tunnel dwellers, the organization discovered that only two of the special vouchers had been used. After contending that the tunnel homeless should also be eligible for the vouchers, the coalition discovered why the program had been languishing, said Mary Brosnahan, the executive director: cumbersome bureaucracy, complicated paperwork and mutual skepticism.

As I've been doing for years, The Boots are my way to assign Boot Up or Boot Downs to various items in the sports world. As a reminder, I got the nickname "Boot" from my older brothers when I was young, and thus, I continue to use this segment as my personal sports writing payback. Boot Up: Optimism for the Future – The Cavaliers are going to be a much-improved team in 2012-13. I do not doubt that at all. While I tend to be a bit of a pessimist with this squad, and I explain that more below, I wanted to share my optimism first. Here are five things that have me really excited to watch this team play real games soon: 1. Kyrie Irving: Now he's a household name. One of the 30 best players in the NBA, undoubtedly. He's a budding star and hasn't even played a full college basketball season or full 82-game NBA season yet. This should be tremendous fun to see him on the court this year and knocking down shots against Eastern Conference foes. Now it actually starts to matter. 2. Andy and Zeller: Anderson Varejao has played 56 games in the past two seasons post-LeBron. The team is 18-38 (.321) in those games. That doesn't look very good at first, but they're 22-70 (.239) without him. The Cavs are significantly better, especially defensively, with Andy back on the court — there's a big difference between bad and awful. Plus I'm in the same camp with fellow WFNY writer Andrew when it comes to Tyler Zeller. I think he's as solid as they get, and his offense should certainly help this frontcourt immediately. 3. Dion Waiters: Love the pick or hate the pick. Fear his conditioning or love his fearlessness. Waiters is as polarizing a Cleveland rookie as we've had in a while. Fans are split on how much he'll actually contribute to this squad, but I'm still relatively undecided here. Yet, I'm still incredibly intrigued to see how it works out and if he can live up to the hype of being a No. 4 selection. 4. The Byron Scott Difference: While many disagree about Waiters' potential impact, there's no questioning the love in this city for head coach Scott. He's won over the fans, despite finishing with two of the worst seasons in franchise history. He's got this team energized again and I'm anxious to see the products of our first full offseason development plan under his leadership. 5. C.J./Alonzo: This duo should improve our wing play significantly in 2012-13. I wrote much more about the pickup of Miles in my most recent Boots segment back in August. But as the Cavaliers continue to search for long-term, high-upside guys at the 3, I think you could do far worse than combining these two guys for 48 minutes a night. Boot Down: The Playoffs — Or, should I say, the "P word." When it comes to how much the Cavaliers could improve this season, many fans just start talking about potentially competing for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Unfortunately for them, that ain't gonna happen this year, but I think that's just what the doctor ordered for the franchise moving forward. Looking at the East, you can easily mark down the following teams for locked playoff spots: Miami, Indiana, Philadelphia and Boston. You can book that now. From there, it's certainly expected that the Knicks, Nets, Bulls, Bucks and Hawks will fight for the remaining four spots. In my mind, those are the clear 9 best teams in the East. I see the Cavaliers finishing somewhere between 11-14 in the conference, as they won't finish at the top of the next grouping of teams, which includes the Pistons, Wizards, Raptors, Bobcats and Magic. I think Toronto actually probably deserves to be in that earlier category alongside the Hawks and Bucks, but there such a question mark this season with all of their new additions. Either way, I just don't see the Eastern Conference math working out in favor of those clamoring for the playoffs. We're not a 40-win team; our defense still needs significant work after Andy and we have so many unproven youngsters at valuable positions. He was just a veteran, but at least Antawn Jamison had a tremendous scoring repertoire and could bail out the Cavs in many situations. We won't have that kind of clean-up guy after Kyrie this season. But that should be just fine for most fans. The young core of this team (Kyrie, Tristan, Waiters and Zeller) doesn't appear to be strong enough long-term to fight for possible Eastern Conference titles. It just doesn't match up to the best of the best. We need more high-potential young talent, especially at the 3 and 4, in order to compete. And that's why another lottery pick should help out the franchise's direction just fine. – Those first two Boots covered most of my Season Preview topics, but I wanted to share two more league-wide items that moderately relate to the Cavs. Boot Up: Danny Ferry — Will anybody give Ferry the credit he deserves for his magical turnaround of the Atlanta Hawks' future? There is nothing worse than No. 8 seed purgatory — something I hinted at above — and that's where the Hawks have been largely for the last three decades. In case you didn't know this spectacular fact, it's just incredible: The Atlanta Hawks have never been to a conference final. After all the success with Dominique Wilkins and and Lenny Wilkens and Joe Johnson, they've never made it past the conference semifinals. So what was it time to start doing? Blow it up. That's why I applaud former Cavalier exec Ferry for finding someone, anyone to take on Johnson's mega contract. The hip Brooklyn Nets probably were the only possible taker there, as Ferry now seems on the verge of completely turning around the Hawks' future. I could see Atlanta still competing for a playoff spot this season, as I mentioned above. When it comes to long-term prognostication however, that all depends upon the status of Josh Smith. The controversial big man who used to love shooting outside jumpers would be an incredibly valuable trade piece, so it's just a matter of time before Ferry cleans house and compiles assets. I'll be intrigued to see what he can do with a full rebuild, unlike his continued accumulation of assets around LeBron in Cleveland. Boot Down: Lone Wolf – I really wonder if any other Cleveland Cavalier fans were at least moderately intrigued by this Pro Basketball Talk article from last Saturday. The article discusses the growing debate in Minnesota: Where does last year's No. 2 pick Derrick Williams fit in the franchise's long-term plans? Matt Moore's conclusion was that although Williams should be a fine, productive NBA contributor, this was a bad pick for the Wolves, which is so Minnesota. But he also looked at how the franchise could possibly find ways to move Williams long-term. Obviously, it's not far back for fans to recall the early yet unsubstantial debates about who the Cavaliers would draft at No. 1 in 2011. Williams, who seems to continue to struggle figuring out if he is a 3 or a 4, had one sensational sophomore season at Arizona, but eventually Irving was the no-doubt pick, and has proven his worth by far. Yet, with the Cavaliers missing a long-term, high-upside guy at Williams' position, I maintain some intrigue about some deal possibly working out. By no means do I have any league sources on this rumor. It's just something I think could possibly be mutually beneficial for both franchises' futures. Minnesota already has Love and Rubio, while they desperately need shooting guard help. I can't exactly pinpoint what the pieces going in both ways might be, but I just had to share that this peaked my basketball interest when I saw this recently. – (AP Photo/Phil Long)

The following comments were submitted by Arctic Cat franchised dealerships in the Q1 2014 Dealer Sentiment Index research study, produced by Baird Research and Dealernews.
- The only thing that seems to be selling are the 500cc ATVs due to cheap pricing in our area, but cheap pricing comes at the expense of profit. [OEM keeps] dumping Prowlers on us, but they aren't selling. Keep dumping the Wildcats, but they aren't selling (unless it's a Trail or fully loaded Wildcat X Limited).
- We have high expectations for the new Wildcat Trail model.
- They continue to push product, regardless of dealer situation or market issues.
- Where is the Prowler Crew model?
- The discounting of new snowmobiles is a direct result of over-production and too many model choices available to allow dealers to represent the entire line. The factory mentality of "carryover is good business for advertising early fall sales" is short-sighted and naive. The profitability and health of their dealer network should be of concern to them, also.
- At a recent dealer show, company management was happy with retail sales. However, they then asked dealers to double and triple their orders over last year. Is this the new math?
- If you've ordered it and it's scheduled within a 90-day period, you are getting it. They have to make shareholders happy.
- Arctic Cat does not understand that forcing product at the wholesale level does not create retail demand. Good dealers suffer and price-choppers chop their way to extinction, only to be replaced by another fool.
New model ordering programs promote over-ordering and inventory glut year after year. When are these companies going to learn that the marketplace will only absorb so much?

Powell decries 'nonsense' attacks on Obama
WASHINGTON (AP)—Retired Gen. Colin Powell, a moderate Republican who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, says the president's critics should be going after him on policy, not "nonsense." "Fringe" elements on the right are taking a low road when they label Obama a foreign-born Muslim and peddle other theories about non-American influences on the president's character, Powell said Sunday. Obama was born in the U.S. and is Christian. MEET THE PRESS—In this photo released by NBC, former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell speaks on NBC's "Meet the Press" in Washington, Sept. 19. The former secretary of state said he still sees Obama as a transformational figure, if one who has lost some of his ability to connect with people.

Hello vets , I would like to know the rules of compensation of being rated at 100% IU or PT when it comes to self employment , self employment programs through VOCREHAB? I am not 100% at this time and I am gainfully employed , but the way its going for me and my SC medical problems that I have it appers that I want be able to do my current job in the future due to my SC medical problems.I am in the process of starting my own buisness already and I will be in buisness in about a month , I dont want to wait until the last minute , I have bills and a soon to be new wife to worry about , I went through VOCREHAB and they asked me what I wanted to do , I told them I want the self employed program , they told me I could not do it because I was already gainfully employed and come back when my rating goes up which is currently 40%. my concern is that when it does go up and I can no longer work for someone else and if I receive a rating of 100% IU can I still be self employed? Or does this mean I can not work at all even if I have my own buisness? It seems that they all put you in a position of rock and a hard place.
While not helping you one smidgen on your original question, here may be some help in another way.
Having been self employed a number of times, one can be VERY creative in determing actual profit - and your own wages. For example you might have to hire your wife as a consultant or employee, and perhaps after paying her wages or fees, there is not enough left to pay yourself.
|New Member
I am starting a S corporation and my wife will be the operations manger,thank you for the good advice.It will be a while before I can draw a salary due to the fact of what it cost to start a buisn, after paying for legal fees, equipment , employees fees and payroll , the owner is left with little in the begining , the VA says that it will help you but when you go and apply that than tell you that you have to be this and that before you can even get in the program , its said that I have to wait and suffer and wait until my SC medical problems get worse and get a higher rating before they will put me in a program. So I have decided to start my buisness up and wait for a higher rating and than go back to the vocrehab program and see what they say but , I still dont know how they decide who is elgible and not? Can someone please advise , they make it look so easy until you get in a office with a VOCREHAB cousnlor and the door closes , I came out of meeting very depressed and that is not how I should of felt its like they dont even care , just come back when you get a hiring rating and maybe we can help you is what I got.
I am not familiar with the Voc Rehab program. I went to college on my Voc Rehab. If you become 100% scheduler they do not care about outside income. If you are 100% IU, it is because you can not work.
You can make a little money as IU - about $800 a month. Somewhere else on this forum I have posted the amount. When I became 70% disabled I owned a business (with my wife and son) and they did not offer me IU because I went to the office. When my disability went to 100% scheduler they did not care.
Now there is another catch 22 - if your wife owns the business any veterans benefits that may be available will not be afforded including government contracting opportunities.
If you are rated 100% disabled you can not work!! If you do you will be a fraud and could go to jail or be forced to pay all recieved benefits back. If you can work, work. If you start a company under your wifes name and work for her. This is fraud! 100% means you are unable to work. Have honor and be honest.
You are wrong. 100% scheduler is different than 100% IU. The first is based on how a disease or diseases compares to a set of ratings. The VA acknowledges that different people with the same disease may be affected differently, but that they are still entitled to the same compensation. They are also compensating for reduction in life time earnings.
With IU, they are saying you are unable to work in gainful employment. "Marginal employment shall not be considered substantially gainful employment. For purposes of this section, marginal employment generally shall be deemed to exist when a veterans earned annual income does not exceed the amount established by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, as the poverty threshold for one person. Marginal employment may also be held to exist, on a facts found basis (includes but is not limited to employment in a protected environment such as a family business or sheltered workshop), when earned annual income exceeds the poverty threshold."
"IU exists as a concept to cover the situation in which a service-connected disability makes the veteran unemployable, even though an average person with a similar impairment could secure and retain substantial gainful employment. Since the rating schedule focuses on the average person, the concept of IU is necessary to take into acount circumstances such as education and past employment history that are peculiar to the claimant and to implement "the established policy of the Department of Veterans' Affairs that all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities shall be rated totally disabled." "
Good points, I don't think we were guiding him to be dishonest about anything, at least that was my intent.
Dave - I was told by my D.A.V. Rep. I could not work at all. If I did I would loose my 100% P&T and could be in big trouble. Not that I could hold a job because of PTSD. My benefit is amount is $2610. a month with wife only. This isn't any more than normal amount for 100% married. I don't think I am below poverty level? I am asking you, can I work? have I been wrong all these years? I never was rated IU. I was 30% once and did work but after hospital stay was raised to 100% later P&T. I thought I was being honest and giving good advise to the person that ask the question.
This is an excellent example of why I always seem to be playing devils advocate in recommending great caution when choosing a VSO, and NEVER accept guidance without question. Guidance here is free, I too have seen the half baked idiots that pose as experts - and get people into more trouble than if they had no guidance at all. It is so self policing too, just think for example, if Dave were wrong, you would see a dozen posts quoting regulations correcting him, as well as where to find the hamnmers and nails to crucify him. (He ain't wrong, so you will not see that of course)
Most people receiving IU must state their income annually. 100% P&T are not required to. This could be an issue if you ever file a new claim because they can re-evaluate all service connected disabilities.
So work all you want, but be cautious in making new claims
To be 100% PTSD the clinical description is you can not hold a job. If you can then you are not 100% PTSD. My disease says if you can not breathe to a certain standard (blow hard ) you are 100%, PTSD says if your disease causes certain physiological symptoms, some of which include ability to hold a job and manage finances, you are 100% disabled.

My next question is what does 100% PT and 100% IU stand for and what are the diffrences, I dont have the buisness in my soon to be wifes name at all and it want be where getting married in DEC. My buisness is a S Corparation which is a whole seperate entity from me or my soon to be wife so that is not even a issue , I want to be very clear that I would never try to find a loop hole to circumvent the system in order to receive my benefits which I feel are due to me anyway as my SC health problems gets worse. I was simply trying to find out what will happen to me from a self employment stand point if it comes to this, I could realistic run my company from a lap top computer and a office once I get it to that point. I am a entreprnuer so I am always looking ahead a forward thinker I have to be. So how can the VA
apply the same set rules to people who are self employed due to the fact that each situation would by far diffrent depending on what they did for a living ?
P&T = Permanent and Total
IU = individual unempoyability
I will put my accountants hat on. Although a S corp is a separate entity for legal purposes for income, tax, etc it is pass through to the owners. That means that 100% of the profit shows up on the owners 1040.
If you are 100% scheduler it does not matter. If you are less than 100% scheduler it does not matter. It only matters if you are IU. You can not make more than gainful employment as defined by the government for that year. If you can work, you are not unemployable. If you can not work you are. Simple rules. Easy for all. There are things that are not considered work for IU. Also, if you get 100% PTSD, by definition you can not work.
Thank you Dave. I know I can not hold a job because of my PTSD. I hope all understand and do not try to work if they feel they may loose their rating of 100%. Soc. Sec. tells people that draw SSD to work. If they seem to do good at there job they soon loose their SSD. Now this is what I have heard. I am just a old Vet.
not a know it all. Good luck to all and thanks for the answers.
SSDI and VA IU have similar rules on gainful employment. If you make under $720 a month you can get SSDI. The number is slightly higher for IU - about $850 a month.
An aside, I found this:
Q: Is there more than one definition for "disabled?" WC has determined I am NOT disabled but Social Security has approved my SSDI application. How can that be?
A: Yes, there is often a different definition of Disabled among various programs and policies. The Veterans Administration has probably the most liberal definition of disability and Social Security the strictest. Various workers compensation programs and private disability insurance programs have their own definition.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Dave_M,

New London - The group Looking Out for Taxpayers has sued the city, alleging the municipality is illegally collecting taxes and paying its bills because it does not have an approved 2012-13 budget.
LOT, according to a lawsuit that was served on the city Tuesday, says the city is operating in violation of the city charter.
City residents rejected the $42.3 million budget in a September referendum. The budget was reduced by $1 million, but residents, still not satisfied, filed a second petition for a referendum.
In November, the seven-member City Council accepted the second petition. The city charter requires the question be put to a vote at the next municipal election, which is this coming November. The council tried to move the vote up to December 2012 but did not have the required five votes to schedule the special election.
Because the vote will take place four months after the close of the fiscal year, LOT is alleging the city does not have an approved budget.
"They (city councilors) created a constitutional crisis in the city,'' said Attorney M. John Strafaci of New London, who is representing LOT, which is listed on the lawsuit as Lower Our Taxes. "They are illegally spending money."
The lawsuit names the city, Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, Finance Director Jeffrey Smith and all seven city councilors: John Maynard, Donald Macrino, Wade Hyslop, Michael Passero, Adam Sprecace, Marie Friess-McSparran and Anthony Nolan.
The plaintiffs are Susan Plunket, Dwight Gross, Avner Gregory, Andrew Lockwood Sr. and Barbara Hample.
The biggest issue, according to Strafaci, is whether the city can spend more than 25 percent of its budget if there is no approved appropriation ordinance in place, as is stated in the city charter. LOT also alleges that because the council accepted and validated the petition, a budget is not approved until a citywide vote takes place.
City Attorney Jeffrey Londregan did not respond to a request for comment.
The lawsuit is seeking "fair, just and reasonable damages," attorneys fees and costs. It is also asking the courts to clarify that the 2012-13 budget is not valid until it is voted on by residents this November.
It is also asking the court to issue a temporary or mandatory injunction to stop the city from collecting taxes until after the referendum.
Strafaci, who is a former city councilor, said the lawsuit will take time to wind its way through the courts, and no decisions will be imminent.
But the outcome could affect future budget cycles, he said.
"The most important thing is this issue needs to be clarified,'' Strafaci said. "The right to vote in a referendum is one of the most important rights for the citizens of New London."

Great Britain, Great Boris
Boris Johnson, the ebullient Mayor of London, is a regular part of the entertainment at Davos, and with an Olympic Games to promote, Hizzoner is especially conspicuous this year.
On Thursday afternoon, he hosted a Great British Tea for business leaders, a short walk from the congress center.
As an ice sculpture of the London Eye and the Palace of Westminster gently melted in the suddenly unseasonable sunshine outside, Boris hammed it up with the support of some famous Londoners, including model/actress Lily Cole and Internet inventor Tim Berners Lee.
Sadly there was no appearance by Sir Mick Jagger as had been originally planned. The Rolling Stone had hoped to come, said the mayor, "but, as he might himself have put it, 'You can't always get what you want.'"
Then, displaying a characteristically cavalier approach to the truth, Boris did his usual bit for European comity by talking up London at the expense of its continental rivals.
Great — as in Great Britain — is the official adjectival marketing brand for the U.K. this year and Boris wielded it like a trusty sword.
"London has Great Weather," he said, to his skeptical listeners. "It rains more in Rome than it does in London."
"London has Great Food, " he went on, the incredulity around him visibly rising." There are more Michelin-starred restaurants in London than in Paris."
That might have been too much even for Boris and he quickly added: "I'm not sure if that's true but I just asserted it." It was left to David Cameron, the prime minister, to state the obvious.
As well as being the year of the Olympics, the Paralympics, the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's accession, and the 30th anniversary of Britain's victory in the Falklands, it was, he said, for him "the year of being repeatedly overshadowed by the mayor of London. "

Laura Mercier…Beauty & Love Unearthed!
I gotta be honest, a part of me thought I had the whole natural bronzed glow down pact between my Nars and Bobbi Brown beauty products. Using Nars Bronzer in combination with Bobbi Brown's Bronzer, all the while using Chanel foundation, I thought I had the perfect beauty combination in place. Of course, until a random trip to Sephora led me to my new found love…Laura Mercier. Finding the perfect light weight products to take away any concern of "heavy face" in 90 degree weather, and to boot the shimmer that comes off both these products is remarkable. Beginning with Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer, this is magic in a bottle. So lightweight, yet it offers amazing coverage to the face and has a subtle shimmer built in to create a natural glow. A very small amount goes a long way, so expect to only use minimal amounts during application (like a pea size drop for each side of the face and another for down the center of the face for coverage on the forehead-nose-chin). Once you've applied your tinted moisturizer, close out with Laura Mercier's Shimmer Bloc. So excited about this product! While it serves as a bronzer and highlighter to apply to your upper cheekbones, above/around your brow bone, and your nose/forehead, it can also be used as eyeshadow. Hands down, this is a MUST HAVE (MHS) and worth every penny at its $38 price tag. If you have deeper skin tones, you the darker side of the palette on the nose, and the lighter side of the palette for the rest of your face. Quick note- you can still apply blush with this product, and I recommend you apply your blush first (still SIL with Illamasqua powder blush), then apply the shimmer bloc.
Cat5 Thanks: Special shout out to KJ at Sephora in Richmond, who was not only rocking out these products on her face, but let me try out a million other products with zero complaint until I fell out in LOVE with Laura Mercier's products!
Cat5 Tip: In the past I was using a "foundation" brush for application, which is a flat brush that reminds you of painting. KJ turned me on to another foundation brush, which after using once and getting such even application with minimal product I'll never go back to the other. It's the Sephora Classic Mineral Powder Brush #45, which retails for $26

Farm Implements and Rutabagas in a Landscape
by John Ashbery
Symbol Analysis
The first stanza compares the poem to a coded message or a puzzle, but the puzzles do not figure prominently in the rest of the poem. Still, the dialogue spoken by the characters always sounds vague and cryptic, as if they were really trying to say something else. And what's with all that scratching: are they trying to send each other secret signals or something?
- Line 1: The first line of the poem is ironic because an undecoded message isn't supposed to mean anything, whereas a poem – at least in theory – is.
- Line 3: A tangram is a Chinese puzzle with seven pieces that fit together into a larger shape. This light might contain an implicit metaphor to the poem itself, which has – ta da! – seven stanzas.
- Lines 16-18: Swee'pea's note sounds like another "undecoded message." Who wrote it? Popeye?
