Netflix, Akamai and Other Stocks Insiders are Buying
Insiders may sell shares for any number of reasons, but there is really only one reason insiders buy shares of a company -- they believe the stock price will move higher and they want to profit from it. Pullbacks and sell-offs provide a perfect opportunity for investors who have faith in a company to snap up shares. Here are some stocks that have seen insider buying recently.
Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM): The chief scientist for this content delivery and cloud infrastructure services provider bought up 100,000 shares last week. That was worth more than $3.3 million. The market cap of his Cambridge, Mass.-based company is $6.0 billion. Shares sold off over the recent announcement of the departure of the CEO. But the share price is still up nearly 19% from six months ago. In that time, the stock has underperformed competitors such as Level 3 Communications (NYSE: LVLT) and Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW).
See also: Akamai Up over 4% After Insider Buying
Basic Energy Services (NYSE: BAS): Two directors recently purchased more than 63,000 shares, worth more than $850,000. This Midland, Tex.-based oil and gas driller has a market cap of $651.9 million and it beat first-quarter revenue estimates but its EPS fell short. It has a PE ratio of 7.3 and a PEG ratio of 0.7. Though the share price is up more than 9% in the past week, year to date it is down more than 23%. Over the past six months, the stock has underperformed competitors such as Tesco (NYSE: TESO) and Gulfmark Offshore (NYSE: GLF), as well as the broader markets.
Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM): The chairman purchased almost 17,000 shares of this builder and operator of sports and fitness centers last week. That was worth more than $745,000. First-quarter earnings of this Minnesota-based company were solid, but the guidance did not impress investors, so shares fell. It has a market cap of $2.0 billion and its long-term EPS growth forecast is 16.0%. Shares rose about 3% in the past week and are trading more than 18% higher than a year ago. The stock has outperformed the broader markets in that time.
Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX): Some 6,000 shares, worth more than $510,000, were purchased last week by a director. The company has a market cap of $4.5 billion. Its long-term EPS growth forecast is 18.4% and its return on equity is 34.4%. But the share price has been falling since the recent Q1 earnings release and is now more than 65% lower than a year ago. Because of the pullback, the stock underperformed competitors such as Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN) and Coinstar (NASDAQ: CSTR), as well as the broader markets, over the past six months
See also: So Much for Netflix's Recovery
Och-Ziff Capital Management (NYSE: OZM): The CEO and an executive managing director recently purchased more than 31,000 shares, worth over $255,000. Shares of the New York-based investment manager have mostly recovered from a pullback following the first-quarter report. It has a dividend yield of 4.5% and a long-term EPS growth forecast of 12.7%. Shares rose more than 8% in the past week but are up less than 6% year to date. The stock has outperformed the likes of Blackstone Group (NYSE: BX) and Citigroup (NYSE: C) over the past six months.
Opko Health (NYSE: OPK): The chairman continues to periodically buy batches of shares, as he has done since last November. He bought 275,000 shares, worth more than $1.3 million, in the past week. This Miami-based health care company has a market cap of $1.4 billion. Short interest is 22.4% of the float. Shares have traded mostly between $4.50 and $5.50 since October, and the share price is about 5% lower that at the beginning of the year. Over the past six months, the stock has underperformed competitors such as Allergan (NYSE: AGN) and the broader markets.
Bullish: Investors interested in exchange traded funds focused on insider sentiment might want to consider the following trades:
- Guggenheim Insider Sentiment (NYSE: NFO) is more than 12% higher year to date.
- Direxion All Cap Insider Sentiment Shares (NYSE: KNOW) is more than 11% higher year to date.
Traders may prefer to consider these alternative positions to some of the stocks listed above:

Latin music is an all encompassing genre that features performers from Latin America, including Spanish, Portuguese, and Creole singers. It incorporates nearly all genres of music, from pop to rock to jazz. Some of the most popular genres include Latin pop, tejano, mariachi, and genres related to Latin American-based dances such as the salsa and the samba. Latin music has been developed by combining European, African, and indigenous influences, and includes performers like El Komander
Latin music is also a key element in some fusion genres. In the late 1980s, Latin performers in Puerto Rico combined their music with Jamaican-developed reggae and created reggaeton. Popular Latin singers and bands include Julio Iglesias, Vicente Fernandez, and Aventura. Latin music is not popular just in Mexico and South America. In recent years, the music has reached a global audience, with performers finding success in North America, Europe, and many other areas of the world!

FOREST Green players Sam Russell and James Norwood are cutting a stylish dash on and off the pitch.
The duo are making the beautiful game even more beautiful following a visit to Cainscross-based beauty salon Coco Chic on a day off from the macho world of football.
Following in the footsteps of David Beckham Jonny Depp and even Prince Harry, the metrosexual pair took the opportunity to experience a facial, massage, manicure and wax.
Beauty therapist Wendy Kent got to grips on striker Norwood, who swapped the intensity of the training ground for a relaxing facial. Wendy implemented a micro-dermabrasion technique to remove dead skin cells to give 22-year-old James a smooth and clear appearance. Goalkeeper Russell made sure his safe hands were manicured to perfection as beautician Kaylee Hankins tidied up his nails -pushing his cuticles gently back.
The treatment concluded with a hand massage to moisturise the skin and relax the 30-year-old ahead of his next big game in the Blue Square Premier.
Coco Chic owner Leanne Townsend said: `'The guys really enjoyed the experience and left feeling relaxed.
"More and more guys are getting into caring about their skin and we are certainly seeing a greater influx of guys in the salon."
Coco Chic are holding an open evening on Wednesday, November 21 from 6pm-9pm.

Thomas Larold Meyer, 42, Pierz, was convicted Oct. 17, in Morrison County District Court with one felony count of first degree driving while impaired.
Little Falls officers responded to a complaint of a possible drunk driver on Highway 27. The suspect was located on Great River Road and was observed swerving abruptly back and forth over the fog and center lines.
The vehicle was stopped and the driver was identified as Meyer. A strong odor of alcohol was detected on Meyer's breath, his eyes appeared bloodshot and watery and his speech was slurred.
Meyer denied he had been drinking, but field sobriety tests showed he had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.255. He was placed under arrest, taken to jail where further tests showed he had a 0.27 alcohol concentration.
An examination of his criminal record showed he had been convicted March 14, 2009, of criminal vehicular operation causing great bodily harm in Sherburne County.
Meyer was sentenced to 30 months in the St. Cloud Correctional Facility and fined $135.
Dismissed against Meyer was one felony count of first degree driving while impaired and two gross misdemeanor counts of driving while impaired. Attorney Mike Chisum said the charges were dropped due to Meyer pleading guilty to the felony with the same sentence.

Aquolina Pink Sugar Eau de Toilette Spray Reviews
Aquolina Pink Sugar (WOW)!Next to the DKNY Be Delicious, this is my second favorite fragrance. Smells just like that pink cotton candy you get at the fair. It's smells good enough to eat or at least warrant an extra sniff from the guys. A little lasts a long time too. You can usually find it in great gift sets with lotion, body sugar scrub and body mousse. A go to favorite as far as I'm concerned! — 6 years, 10 months agogfyshn | 14 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

711 Bellevue Ave E.
We at CSC were a bit down in the mouth after wandering though these old digs. Big, old houses with lives and details to spare…if only the walls could talk.
The prognosis is terminal. They're coming down and the predictable multi units are going up. We cross our fingers for something good, or dare we hope even great, but we wouldn't bet on that pony.
Hooray for the art, and so much love for the neighborhood. People wandering through kept commenting on how much they loved the houses, and writing longing letters of unrequited residential adoration in the guest books.
A secret shout out to the little red house in the back. We love you.
Will anyone ever love the new condos/apartments/giant vinyl crates this much?

Its Just not a good phone
I have had this phone for 1 year and it is driving me crazy! It gets scratched up easily, it shuts off by itself and all of the parts on it have fallen off. The good thing about it is that it is really small and is handy and it is nice and light but that's really all that's good.Design 4/10Features 1/10Performance 3/10

Size matters
I have had this phone for several months. When I needed a replacement for my RAZR, I decided the single most appealing thing about that phone was the size. I always carry mine in my pocket just for phone calls. When I went to the verizon store, I found that my 4 year old RAZR was thinner than every single other new cutting edge phone on display. I asked if they had anything smaller, and then they brought out this gem from under the counter. It is the smallest phone Verizon offers as of this writing. So far my only complaints are the speakerphone and auto-text software (T9 was great).Design 10/10Features 2/10Performance 6/10
- Size, size, and size. Very small, lightweight, and thin. Buttons and display are decent size. One of the most pocket-friendly phones on the market. Good reception and battery life. Recharges via any micro-usb.
- No frills here. Speakerphone is poor. Texting is difficult due to software, non-T9. A bit delicate and light, not for kids. Poor camera. Do NOT mess with detachable pieces. Voice recognition is average and can be activated via external button accidentally. Button cannot be unbound either.

I do work for verizon and honestly this phone is terrible. The speaker quality is terrible, the plastic piece on the top of the battery cover will not stay on and the back is very flimzy. The phone doesn't have many options and it seems very cheaply made. I wouldn't really recommend this phone to anyone, except maybe someone with children deciding if they are gonna be rough on phones or not.Design 2/10Features 2/10Performance 2/10

Verizon Guy
I work for Verizon wireless sales, and I can say that this phone is not the greatest. I personally have only sold 3 of them since their release and I feel bad for every one of those people. The phone is too small, period. The internal display itself is rediculous, and the volume of the speaker is a joke. Also, when you get the phone the silver piece around the camera leading to the back always comes off! It does however have this ability because it comes with a removable camoflauge piece, but makes it look bad when you take a phone out of the box and it's in a bunch of little pieces. And yes, the pieces do fall off and I have had customers come in to complain about it.Theres a reason Verizon doesn't do big contracts with Nokia, and it's for things like this. Also, the phone does not have the ability to send name cards via bluetooth more than 1 contact at a time.I found this out the hard way!Design 2/10Features 5/10Performance 5/10
- Small, basic, bluetooh compatible, large external display, get it for your kid.
- Too small, small internal screen, sucky battery life, keys are too flat, poor speaker volume.

Piece of cheaply made plastic junk - terrible speaker
I have owned several Nokia phones up to now so I was originally excited to upgrade to a new one. This phone is very small and light - these are the only positive things I can say about it. Otherwise, it is awful. The sound quality is terrible - sounds like a radio in the 1920s - I can't believe they released it. Also, the phone is very flimsy, made out of plastic. I returned it right away (I bought it on verizon.com website) and I can only imagine how long it will last before it falls apart. It is the worst phone from Nokia I have ever seen - HUGE disappointment.Design 5/10Features 5/10Performance 1/10

Small is better
My nokia flip phone from 2005 was dropped on accident. It was already in bad shape- the duct tape on the top half was already tearing off. So when it dropped, the phone just took a brutal beating. The keys were spilled out on the floor like a dropped glass of milk, and the screen was huffing and puffing with backlight smoke. Right away, I knew I couldn't fix this phone with some duct tape. The only solution was to get a new phone. I was fidgiting, looking around the Verizon Store's phone aisles as if one phone was going to complete my life. I asked the rep if there was a phone that was safe and if dropped, more reliable than my 3 year old nokia. All i got was a laugh, but then a nod. anything was better than my nokia! I was drawn to this phone that was just released. I got a cheap promotion price because I've been a customer for over 10 years. What drew me in was the size- I was sick of using huge phones. My fingers would hurt texting and gripping the cold metal at the same time. This phone also had a nice design. I didn't really expect a camera, but I got one anyways. You can do a lot of things on this phone, like text, go on the Verizon internet, and take pictures. I made a good choice.

Connery has abandoned plans to write an autobiography, because it would be impossible to right all the wrongs already written about him.
Apparently Sean Connery is a bit confuse about his own autobiography. Back in the year 2004, the actor broke a promise not to write about himself and signed up to a book of his memoirs.
Soon thereafter he was reported to fire the writer, hired another, then pulled out completely and returned the �2 million advance due to privacy concerns. And to everyone's surprise, he recently announced he would have another shot at another autobiography.
In fact, the star reportedly has ditched plans to write the autobiography for the reason that it would be impossible to make right all the wrongs already written about him.
"The autobiography was something that I thought about. But the problem was that I discovered there were ten books about me and that I was going to have to spend the rest of my life trying to correct ten books of inaccuracies. And frankly it wasn't worth it, so I withdrew." So Connery told Empire magazine.

FORT HOOD – The efforts of those who greet soldiers at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on their way home were recognized during Thursday's Hood Hero Awards Luncheon.
Two emergency crews and other members of the community were also honored at the event, conducted at the Fort Hood Catering and Conference Center.
"Today we recognize those members of our Fort Hood family that go above and beyond," said Col. Victoria Bruzese, garrison commander, in her opening remarks to those in attendance.
Bruzese recognized Bert Brady, of Dallas, for his constant community support to Fort Hood.
Brady is one of many greeters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who attend the arrivals of homecoming soldiers at DFW airport.
He said he wants the soldiers to feel a warm welcome when they return to the United States, unlike the welcome that soldiers who served in Vietnam received.
"They are the heroes, and we don't intend to let what happened in Vietnam happen again," Brady said. "That was an embarrassment to the United States."
Brady was honored to receive such an award from Fort Hood and showed his appreciation to those serving in Iraq.
"It's humbling to be honored," he said. "We don't feel like we did anything. These guys are the real heroes; we aren't."
Other attending greeters from the Dallas-Fort Worth area received coins honoring their efforts to support soldiers.
"Sometimes, if the soldier lives in Fort Worth, they take them home to see their families to surprise them," Bruzese said.
Fort Hood recognized the efforts of two emergency teams who managed disasters on post during the quarter.
"We would like to honor people that work quietly until they are called upon," Bruzese said.
The Killeen, Harker Heights, and Fort Hood Fire departments; the Killeen and Fort Hood Police departments; System Studies and Simulations, Contract Helicopter; and Fort Hood Emergency Services members were recognized for their efforts in the search for 2-year-old Izaiah Conway.
Izaiah went missing March 30 and was found dead on April 2, after apparently falling into Nolan Creek.
Sgt. Christopher Perkins, of the Fort Hood Directorate of Emergency Services and the Fort Hood Fire Department, was honored for evacuating homes in the Clear Creek and Commanche residential areas on Fort Hood. The homes were threatened by a fire that occurred on post on Feb. 24.
The event always honored educational supporters, Fort Hood basketball and cheerleader coaches, customer service representatives on post and other volunteers.

If a drug is found in someone's body, it doesn't mean they will be punished. Some drugs, like Nandrolone, are made naturally in the body, but in very small amounts.
This makes it very hard to tell if the sportsperson has been cheating. If they have, then they are usually banned.

Tom Glocer has been celebrating the success of the three-year integration process that melded Thomson with Reuters. But the chief executive of the information and media group needs to beware overstating the value of its ownership model.

Of Twinkies and Brownies
February 22, 2012,
Warren Shoulberg Publisher/Editorial Director
Both are case studies of what happens when bad things happen to good brands.
The first was the bankruptcy filing last month of Hostess Brands, the company that makes Twinkies, among other baked goods. For this corporate entity it's a return trip to bankruptcy court, giving it that Chapter 22 designation that economic pundits love to point out.
Hostess' problems are many, from an expensive overhead to a consuming public that is increasingly moving away from eating unhealthy stuff - at least unhealthy stuff that tastes like crap. If you have not eaten a Twinkie since you were 12, you should keep it that way. It is a dreadful thing to put into your mouth and you should stick with your memories, which are much more tasty.
The other news involves Kodak, which also filed for bankruptcy, doing so last week after a slow death spiral that began nearly a decade ago. Kodak - which many of us of a certain age first came into contact with when we purchased a Brownie camera - has suffered for years from the decline in printable photography and the move toward digital pictures. No amount of Paul Simon-inspired imagery could slow that process down.
The irony is of course that Kodak is credited with inventing the digital camera, but it never pursued it as a viable commercial product, choosing instead the razor/razor blade model of selling film. Even more ironic is that in the product category Kodak chose to try to resurrect its business - printers for computers - it went with a model that put the profit on the machine rather than the ink. In other words, the exact opposite of both conventional practices and its own successful experience in film.
In hindsight, it's easy to dissect and second guess what both Hostess and Kodak should have been doing. The former needed to branch out into products better suited to changing consumer tastes and the latter needed to capitalize on its own strengths. But the damage has already been done and while no doubt some of the names and some of the products will outlive their corporate owners, neither company will ever be what it once was.
The take-away here is that all business entities need to examine their own organizations to make sure they are not committing the same sins. The roles of both home textiles suppliers and general merchandise retailers are full of companies that did not do that and paid the price ... often the ultimate one.
The stories of Hostess and Kodak once more are proof that business plans that are neither fully baked nor completely developed are rarely well done.

Fujitsu today announces the availability of one of the industry's widest ranges of All New in Touch business-class notebooks and tablets. The new portfolio enables users to realize their full potential both in and outside the office, with enterprise-grade security features that protect company data. Visitors to the international technology fair CeBIT, taking place in Hanover, Germany between March 10-14, 2014, can see for themselves the results of Fujitsu's 20-plus year heritage in developing innovative notebooks and tablets built for the enterprise and designed for the user. Fujitsu's showcase is on Booth A28 in Hall 7.
In the spotlight at CeBIT this year is the FUJITSU LIFEBOOK U904 Ultrabook with 4G/LTE connectivity for users who require sophisticated performance, full ergonomics and ultimate connectivity in an ultra slim notebook design. The thinnest business Ultrabook in the 14-inch class was nominated as a CeBIT Highlight Product, won the CeBIT Preview Award for innovation and is the first Ultrabook to integrate PalmSecure, Fujitsu's leading edge palm vein biometric security technology.
PalmSecure is an easy-to-use biometric technology that uses the unique pattern of oxygen-depleted blood veins in a user's hand to provide identification that has a much lower False Acceptance Rate, of less than 0.00008 percent – or 1 in 1,250,000 – in comparison to other biometric methods. Palm Secure is ten times more secure than an iris scan, 100 times more secure than a fingerprint and 1000 times more reliable than face recognition. The False Rejection Rate (FRR), meaning the number of cases in which the application refuses an authorized person, is also a miniscule 0.01 percent using fixed PalmSecure sensors.
Thanks to PalmSecure, the LIFEBOOK U904 Ultrabook offers the industry's highest mobile security standards, making it perfect for users who require high performance, full ergonomics and connectivity - all in an ultra sleek design The FUJITSU LIFEBOOK S904, also been nominated as a CeBIT Highlight Product, provides full productivity with 24 hours battery runtime, embedded 4G/LTE connectivity and a high-resolution WQHD IGZO display with outstanding contrast and sharpness. Its slim, lightweight design provides ultimate mobility.
To harness the transformative power of technology, Fujitsu has matched the needs of different work roles to optimize the mix of benefits customers require. Examples include the ability to stay in constant contact with colleagues via always-on data, all-day battery runtime, travelling light, and focusing on durability even in tough environments. Fujitsu's four Touch Concepts – Touch Notebooks, 2-in-1s, Business Tablets and Specialized Tablets – enable businesses and users to match technology needs with efficient and effective work styles for new and satisfying user experiences.
All new models support enterprise-class security and come with Microsoft Windows 8.1. Touch screen options are available across the line. Further information on the new models is available at: http://fujitsu.com/fts/mobile .
Jörg Hartmann, Vice President Client Computing Devices, International Business, Fujitsu
"As people's use of information and communication technology matures, users are taking center stage in determining the technologies they need to do their jobs well and thrive in their daily lives. Fujitsu's All New in Touch portfolio is designed to empower people to achieve their full potential, without compromising on the types of security and other features that enterprises demand. That's why after more than 20 years developing PCs and tablets that are built for the enterprise but designed for the user, Fujitsu continues to be recognized for its innovation, as reflected in the latest CeBIT Preview Award for FUJITSU LIFEBOOK U904 Ultrabook with integrated FUJITSU PalmSecure."
The Fujitsu 'All New in Touch' Portfolio includes:
The new generation of FUJITSU LIFEBOOK Notebooks and STYLISTIC Tablets are now available at Fujitsu and its distribution partners. Prices vary by model and configuration.

Gentlemen's Corner: Lance Gross Discusses Being The Face of Magic Shave, Rick Ross Controversy, and Going Nude
VIBE Vixen: Why do you feel you were chosen to represent Magic Shave?
Lance Gross: I think it's a perfect marriage, I'm a clean cut guy and I think I represent what Magic Shave represents. It was a perfect opportunity because I'm always on camera and I have to shave a lot to keep it nice and clean. A lot of African males suffer from ingrown razor bumps and Magic Shave is the answer. You eliminate the razor you eliminate the bumps. It takes four minutes and then you wipe it off and you really get a closer shave than you would with a razor.
Can you explain the dating Game program?
The game is called Work Ur Magic and you can find it at workurmagic.com. It's a fun and exciting interactive game that allows guys to show how smooth they are and [how they] work their magic. If they're really smooth they can win a trip to Vegas for them and three of their friends.
Who taught you how to shave?
I can't even say it was my dad. We would always take trips to the barbershops so it would probably be the barbers in Oakland, California.
What's your worst shaving experience?
I moved to LA trying to find a barber, I found this guy who took my hairline back so far. It must have been like an inch on the sides. Any guy knows that's a no-no because it takes a long time for it to grow back. It took at least 2 to 4 weeks for it to grow back in all the way. That had to be the worst experience.
Would you ever change your clean-cut appearance to a scruffy, full grown beard?
I dabble between them. Sometimes I wear a beard, sometimes I'm clean cut with a goatee, and sometimes I have to take it all off especially when I was working with House of Payne. It just depends on what I'm working on. Usually when I'm on vacation I let it grow into a full beard.

Unfortunately this eBook is only available from within Australia.
From the grey wolf to the dingo, the South American bush dog to the whistling hunter, wild dogs have been free spirits on every continent except Antarctica and have thrived in all environments-the hottest and driest parts of Africa and Australia, the wettest forests of New Guinea and South America and the coldest parts of the Arctic Circle. ..Spirit of the Wild Dog is an up-to-date and highly readable account of the skills, personalities and lifestyles of these dogs. Lesley Rogers and Gisela Kaplan, both highly acclaimed authors and researchers in animal behaviour, trace the ancestry and habitats of a vast range of canine species, and discuss how much of their spirit lives on in our pet dogs. ..The book takes us on a fascinating exploration of how wild dogs behave, communicate, socialise, mate and hunt. It also provides insights into the extraordinary group coherence of wild dogs, their faithfulness and intelligence, their ability to learn, remember and solve problems. ..While humans have long lived with, worked with, loved and nurtured pet dogs, we have a love/hate relationship with their relatives in the wild. The book discusses this and brings into question the future of the wild dog. Their numbers have been declining rapidly and many relatives of our best friend face extinction unless action is taken...Including spectacular photographs of dogs in their natural habitats, Spirit of the Wild Dog is an intriguing and much needed account of the world of these admirable animals.

Whew! 6 bulletins and a lot of research to do. Combine that with canceled flights and losing my phone/PDA and I end up missing my self imposed update for this commentary. Thank you for your patience.
This month you have quite a few decisions to make regarding which updates need to be rolled out to both workstation and servers. As always one of the key issues I consider when analyzing these bulletins is assessing under which circumstances it's necessary to install the associated update. Withholding updates from systems where it is safe to do so can save a lot work associated with testing and deployment as well as reduce threats to stability by defective updates. You may decide to withhold some of these updates for certain systems based on the issues I highlight below. This month really highlights the benefit of implementing XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003. These two versions are the first versions and the first real products of Trustworthy Computing and while I've not been assimilated by Redmond I believe in giving credit when it's due. Also, this month also demonstrates the benefits of attack surface reduction (e.g. disabling unneeded services) that I've been preaching for years. Attack surface reduction may eliminate the need to install half of these updates on certain systems that don't have print, use telephony or the remote desktop protocol.
MS05-038 - Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (896727)
This update fixes several new vulnerabilities with Internet Explorer and email clients like Outlook and Outlook Express, which use IE to render HTML. The vulnerabilities allow a remote (semi-passive) attacker to execute arbitrary code under the authority of the user. Bottom line: I see no choice for user workstation and Terminal Servers that have access to the Internet but to install this update as soon as possible. The published work-arounds either break highly used features of IE or rely on end-users to make security decisions. For servers you can avoid installing this update if you can ensure that administrators do not or cannot read email and browse the Web from the server. The vulnerabilities rely on maliciously coded web pages or email content. Microsoft says a mitigating factor with IE vulnerabilities like this are that user would have to be lured to a malicious site or a legitimate site that had been compromised by the attacker. However, don't forget that many sites such as ebay allow users to post html and images to dynamically created pages which isn't quite the same thing as a hacked site. Therefore html and image based vulnerabilities like those in this update shouldn't be viewed as "theoretical" or as an "out-side chance". For most organizations I recommend installing this update to workstations but not to servers, especially since it requires a restart. If you choose not to install this update to servers you must ensure that administrators do not browse the web or read email from an interactive logon at a server which is already an established best practice. There are some possible collision issues with other hotfixes you may have loaded so be sure to read the "Security Update Information" for this update.
MS05-039 - Vulnerability in Plug and Play Could Allow Remote Code Execution and Elevation of Privilege (899588)
If your workstations are XP SP 2 and servers Windows Server 2003 SP 1, you can probably relax, this vulnerability can only be executed by users logged on locally. Provided server logons are limited to administrators it's not really an issue since administrators are already all powerful. So at worst an end user could grab administrator authority of his workstation. If you have an advanced workstation security model in which end-users do not hold administrator authority, you may be concerned about this vulnerability but keep in mind that there are no reports of proof-of-concept code being published as of this time.
If your workstations are XP SP1 you are vulnerable to remote attacks but only if by authenticated users who can access TCP ports 139 or 445. To avoid installing this update for XP SP1 computers consider using IP Security Policy to block access to those ports from all source IP addresses except computers that have legitimate reason to access the workstation remotely such as SMS servers and workstation support staff. If there's no need to access XP SP1 systems remotely for support or management you can also just enable Internet Connection Firewall and don't allow exceptions for these ports. This vulnerability can be exploited by remote, anonymous attackers Windows 2000. For Windows 2000 workstations, to avoid installing this update consider the same suggestions indicated for XP SP1. For Windows Server 2000 I see no alternative but to recommend loading the update. This update does require a restart.
MS05-043 - Vulnerability in Print Spooler Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (896423)
The bottom line with this vulnerability is that you should install it on any computer that has shared printers or uses shared printers. Evidently this vulnerability doesn't affect computers that have locally attached printers that are not shared or network printers that you directly print to - not through a Windows share. (I haven't yet received confirmation on this point but that is what all documentation indicates.) The risk to XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 is limited to denial of service but back level systems could sustain arbitrary, remote code execution and privilege escalation.
MS05-040 - Vulnerability in Telephony Service Could Allow Remote Code Execution (893756)
This is mainly a server vulnerability; on Windows 2000 and XP risk is limited to local privilege escalation which will mostly concern those maintaining an advanced secure workstation model where end-users lack local administrator authority. See considerations in my commentary for MS05-039. Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 are only vulnerable if the Telephony service is started. Disabling this service eliminates the risk but will break RRAS and other applications like fax and voice mail servers. Bottom line: I recommend installing this patch on servers that actually require the Telephony service and disabling the Telephony service on other servers. This vulnerability highlights the benefit of attack surface reduction through disabling unneeded services and features.
MS05-041 - Vulnerability in Remote Desktop Protocol Could Allow Denial of Service (899591)
This vulnerability is limited to denial of service and does not affect systems unless Terminal Services, Remote Desktop or Remote Assistance is used which enables incoming RDP connections. Systems with the Terminal Services service disabled are immune. While it affects both servers and workstations (Windows 2000, XP and 2003) you should weigh the likelihood and impact of this vulnerability being exploited against your systems. Some administrators may choose to limit rollout of this update to Terminal Services servers that deliver end-user remote desktop functionality and any servers that expose port 3389 to the Internet. Consider protecting computers that accept RDP connections with and IP Security Policy. See my article at http://www.windowsitpro.com/WindowsSecurity/Article/ArticleID/20288/20288html for details.
MS05-042 - Vulnerabilities in Kerberos Could Allow Denial of Service, Information Disclosure, and Spoofing (899587)
This vulnerability only affects domain controllers (both Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003). Unless you are using smart cards for interactive logons the risk is limited to denial of service against domain controllers. A denial of service attack against domain controllers would affect all users and systems on the network. If you are using smart cards for interactive logons then you are exposed to the PKINIT vulnerability of this bulletin which is much more serious; the risks include information disclosure and spoofing of domain controllers or servers. Note that this update includes a new feature to protect against other PKINIT vulnerabilities which requires all workstations (2000 and XP) to be updated as well. Bottom line: Since this vulnerability could cause an outage for your entire Windows network you should update your domain controllers after testing and monitoring for any problems discovered by those on the bleeding edge. I definitely recommend installing this update if you are using smart cards and that you enable the new RequireAsChecksum feature but carefully read the information regarding deployment sequence and configuration of this setting so that workstations are not inadvertently denied access to the domain.
As you can see this month really highlights the benefit of implementing XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003. These two versions are the first versions and the first real products of Trustworthy Computing and while I've not been assimilated by Redmond I believe in giving credit when it's due. Also, this month also demonstrates the benefits of attack surface reduction (e.g. disabling unneeded services) that I've been preaching for years. Attack surface reduction may eliminate the need to install half of these updates on certain systems that don't have print, use telephony or the remote desktop protocol.

You can pull the paddling pool up close to the sand pit, you can even buy a tub of mint-choc-chip ice cream and make your own cones, but nothing really compares to a family day out at the beach. Sure dad can help build a little sand castle, but what he really wants is to show he's the best castle builder in town, and for that his castle needs a moat with sea water. To make sure that your trips to the beach are filled with memorable experiences we've put together a list of the top five beaches in the UK.
Down in Cornwall, just before we get to Land's End we find the coastal town of Porthcurno. The coastline around the town has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and is considered to be one of the most spectacular bays in the UK. The beach itself is a golden funnel of sand between two cliff faces and at low tide you can walk across to other beaches. Be warned however, as one of these beach is a nudist beach, so tell grandma to pack her sunglasses.
Taking the steep footpath up the west coast you can find the open-air Minack Theatre, which from June to September hosts theatre productions ranging from the works of The Bard to children's plays. Keep going west and you'll come to Pedn-men-an-Mere, and looking down you'll find the secluded beach Porth Chapel named after the remains of the medieval chapel.
Porthcurno is a family friendly beach just a short walk from the bus stop, with easy parking and ice-cream facilities nearby. Probably not the UK's best surfing beach, it does have lifeguards all through the summer, so it's definitely one of the safest.
On the south coast of Wales, Tenby was once called Little England beyond Wales, and it is one of the UK's most fabulous beach destinations. A trip to Tenby can be like visiting four beaches in one day, as the peninsula jutting out in the sea is divided into four, each with their own characteristics and attractions.
North and South beach are both beautiful stretches of sandy shoreline, but whereas North is probably more exciting with its rock pools, shops and cafes, South is a little more relaxed with its marvellous views out over Caldey Island. Visit Harbour Beach to take a boat ride out to the island, and see the monks in their Monastery, or spend the day on Castle Beach and walk out to St. Catherine's island at low tide, just be sure to time your visit so you don't get stranded.
Tenby has won numerous awards for its beaches, including the Blue Flag, so you can be sure that the beaches are clean. But that's not the only attraction, the surrounding town of Tenby itself is also a wonderful place to visit, with its medieval walls and Tudor Houses to explore.
Woolacombe, Devon
A great beach for the whole family, Woolacombe in North Devon is three miles of sandy shoreline. Every year, it hosts the UK National Sandcastle Competition, so dad's can show off their prowess with a bucket and spade as they try to construct the most magnificent and inventive structure under the pretence of "just giving the kids a hand".
Woolacombe is of course, famous for its surfing, and people come from all over the country to catch a few waves here. Don't worry if you haven't earned your water wings yet, there are plenty of places where you can hire boards and wetsuits and even get professional lessons.
Just a few miles off the coast to the east, Lundy Island offers three miles of peace and tranquillity. Depending on the depth of your pockets you can travel by boat or by helicopter, once there you can take a walk to see the wildlife and seabirds or even check out the underwater life with a snorkelling safari.
Sandwood Bay, Scotland
This could very well be Britain's most beautiful beach, but visiting it comes at a price. Hidden in the highlands of Scotland, you'll have to trek along the four-mile path leading from the car park. Remember to pack your sandwiches, as once you're here you won't want to leave, there's over a mile of pink sand complete with dunes and the occasional rock pool to explore.
With cliffs on both sides, Sandwood Bay looks out on to the Atlantic, and it's kind of daunting to think that from here the next land mass you'd come across is Canada. Spectacular as the beach may be, it's never as busy as it could be, this is probably due to its remoteness. The travelling distance means that it's not really a child-friendly beach, but slightly older kids will love it.
There're great adventures to be had exploring Sandwood Cottage, which is supposedly haunted by the ghost of an ancient mariner who knocks on the windows on stormy nights. Keep a look out but you'll probably have more luck spotting the dolphins as they leap from the water just off the coast.
Portrush Whiterocks, Northern Ireland
Nestled on the coast of Northern Ireland, this three-mile stretch of sandy beach is very popular with surfers due to its powerful waves. The seaside town of Portrush has three beaches of which Whiterocks has to be the most beautiful, partly due to its pure white limestone cliffs, but also because of its wonderful clear waters.
But it's not just beauty here, this is also an exciting beach, and a great place to investigate. The arches and caves under the road are intriguing places, and at low tide you can unleash the Indiana Jones in you and explore, just make sure you have enough time to get out again. Then, if you're still in the mood for adventure, you can take to the waves and try sea canoeing, everything you need can be hired nearby at not-too-high a price.
This wonderful beach may be slightly better suited to slightly older families, and the grassy knolls make excellent places to stop off for family picnics. On your way there be sure to stop off and take in the magnificent views towards the Giants Causeway.
There are hundreds of beaches in the UK, but sadly we can't visit all of them, so this is just our pick of the best five. If you think we've missed one, or you think that your Top Five is better than ours, please let us know.

June 8th 2014 Bermuda cruise - Enjoyable with a few problems: Celebrity Summit Cruise Review by jenjes3
Overall Member Rating
June 8th 2014 Bermuda cruise - Enjoyable with a few problems
Destination: Bermuda
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
Checking in was a breeze. We were on the pool deck by noon. The pool area is fun and they had different DJ type music. It was upbeat.
Our cabin was 8149 Concierge class. Our cabin stewart was excellent. The room seemed smaller then what we remembered and the balcony was small. Unfortunately the air conditioning did not work great. We complained they said it was fixed but never felt cool enough for us. Our toitlet wouldn't flush 3 -4 times and we had to call housekeeping.
We loved Bermuda and enjoyed Horseshoe Bay, Elbow Beach and shopping at Hamilton. We purchased the bus transportatiion ticket. The weather was beautiful.
We would enjoy the Sunset Bar along with the great duo - It's 5'oclock somewhere - they were great. The piano man in the main area was good. Husband and I enjoyed comedian in theatre. More
Now for the negatives - the food in the buffet area not good. We always found something but do not like the concept of the little baskets. The omlet lines were usually long. The pasta station though along with the pizza very good. However, they would open late some afternoons along with not having enough staff or food. Definite lack of service and help.
We chose Select dining and made a reservation every day. The food was good and the waiter service ok. The biggest gripe was 2 different people handling our drinks - I would like wine and husband wanted a cocktail. I would receive my wine and he had to wait sometimes 15 minutes. I complained to the maitred on the second or third night - after that we were moved to different section and much better service.
I would sail on the Summit again. It is showing it's age. Bermuda is beautiful and again it is very convenient to sail from - within an hour drive. Overall the cruise was very enjoyable with a little bit for the staff of Celebrity to work on -
I should add husband and I had the prem. beverage package - totally loved it! It was paid through Celebrity and upgraded by out travel agent. The martini bar was a favorite. We also had paid gratuities.
The weather was fantastic! Hard to come back to reality. Less

Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C-Black River) and Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy join with law enforcement officials to express their support for DNA databank expansion.
February 3, 2012
Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C-Black River) and Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy join with law enforcement officials to express their support for DNA databank expansion.
Assemblyman Ken Blankenbush (R,C-Black River) joined Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy and local law enforcement officials calling for passage of the DNA Databank Expansion Bill at a press conference held in Watertown. Legislation was recently passed in the state Senate that would greatly increase the types of criminals from whom New York State can take DNA samples. The bill has not been voted on in the Assembly, but Blankenbush vows to work toward getting the legislation to the floor for an up-or-down vote. "DNA identification science has become more sophisticated and accurate, and it's a tool that New York law enforcement must use to its full advantage in order to help the victims of violent crimes," said Blankenbush. "As criminology improves, we have learned many things, namely that violent criminals often have long histories of other, lesser crimes. Knowing this, we have a responsibility to the people to expand New York's DNA databank in order to catch those criminals who may have, in the past, slipped through the cracks. This is for the safety of our families and communities." The Senate version of the DNA Databank Expansion Bill, which also is supported by the Cuomo administration, would allow for the state to take DNA samples from all felony and misdemeanor offenders, including those who have committed crimes like DUI and animal cruelty. Existing law only allows for DNA samples to be collected from felons. Blankenbush supports the Senate version, but also would welcome, at the very least, penal code misdemeanor criminal inclusion, which doesn't include items like DUI. Assemblyman Blankenbush, however, believes the Senate version by widening the scope will serve New Yorkers more effectively, and insists that the legislation should come to an immediate vote in the Assembly.

Making Microsoft® Outlook® Work Better for Accountants
Credenza runs inside Microsoft® Outlook® and turns it into a multi-user practice management system for accountants.
October 12, 2010
Outlook® has become the standard communication tool in most offices. While you probably use it daily to manage your e-mails, contacts, appointments and tasks, it clearly wasn't designed with you, the accounting professional, in mind.
Most professionals organize their work in files, with a separate file for each client or project. This means only having to look in one place to find all the events, communications and facts relating to each of your client files. It also means being able to look at the appointments in your calendar and seeing to which file they relate. Unfortunately Outlook isn't built to handle this need. Nor can it easily track your time.
But what are the alternatives? You aren't about to give up on Outlook because you and your staff are so dependent on it. What if you could improve Outlook and add the ability to organize your information around client files or projects?
This is where Credenza comes in. It is an innovative add-in for Microsoft Outlook that turns it into a professional practice management solution. Credenza expands Outlook by adding the dimensions that professionals need to manage their practices more effectively. Because it runs as part of Outlook, there is little learning required. You'll be up and running in minutes.
With Credenza, you can organize all of your Outlook information (including e-mails, appointments, tasks, notes and contacts) around your client files. In addition, you can also track documents, notes of phone calls, research and other custom information, plus it allows you to track the time you spent on each of your activities.
Work Better As a Team
Not only does Credenza help you stay on top of your practice, but it also helps you work better as a Team. You can collaborate with others to share information and work together. Your Team may be you and your assistant, your workgroup or your entire firm of hundreds of users.
With Credenza you can choose to share your client files with selected users. Of course you can always keep private what you don't want others to see and when you open up a shared file, you'll see everything that anyone else who has access to the file has been working on. Here you can see, for instance, that your assistant spoke to the client last week, that your colleague has a meeting scheduled with the client tomorrow and the details of all related e-mail correspondence, even messages on which you weren't originally included.
The collaboration options mean that you and your staff are always on the same page. When you need to follow up with the client you can see the whole picture. You don't have to ask your assistant when she last spoke to the client or bother your partner to get a copy of any recent e-mail messages. Simply open their client file in Credenza and you are up to date. You can also schedule appointments for one another, take phone messages and more. By setting up a Team you multiply the benefits of Credenza.
Most importantly, because Credenza runs as part of Outlook, there isn't any duplication of entry, you are actually seeing the appointment that was created in the Outlook calendar and the e-mail message that the client sent.
Remote Access
Your Team keeps everyone up to date via the Internet, so as long as you can access the Internet you can stay connected with other users. You can take your laptop on the road and know that you won't miss any of the action back at the office. The synchronization happens behind the scenes to make sure that you are always up to date. You can work with someone in another office or city and be able to stay current.
Why Credenza?
Credenza works so tightly inside Outlook that it looks like it should have been there all along. It is easy to install, easy to use and does what you want. Visit www.credenzasoft.com (to watch the overview video), check out the feature tour or learn about specific features in the tutorial videos.
Great Value
Credenza is of incredible value. Download a fully functional free trial to decide for yourself if it works for you. If you like it, pay as you go starting at just $9.95 per month! You'll make that back many times over each month through improved organization, not to mention capturing the billable time for your e-mails and more.
Free Trial
Why not download a free trial today to see for yourself? Credenza runs free for 15 days so that you can see if it's right for you. Download it today and be up and running in minutes.
Credenza adds to Outlook the tools that accounting professionals need to manage their practices more effectively. Credenza is simple. It works just like Outlook and as part of Outlook. You and your staff will be able to take advantage of it instantly.

CAMPAIGNERS proudly delivered a 108,500 signature-strong petition to Number 10 calling on the government to save Portland coastguard helicopter.
Today's petition hand-in is the culmination of 18-months of signature collecting and hard work by campaigners who say the Portland coastguard helicopter is 'vital' to the Dorset coastline and must stay.
Under government plans the helicopter is facing the axe in 2017. The government says a new fleet of helicopters operating from 10 bases across the UK will be able to get to incidents faster but campaigners argue that lives will be lost.
Campaigners Belinda Craig, Debbie Joy, Roger MacPherson, Shelley Cutler, Sandra West, Patricia Joy, Dr Ian Mew and Richard Drax delivered the petition to the iconic black doors of Number 10 earlier this afternoon.
Mrs Craig's son Jack was one of the three fishermen who died when the Weymouth fishing boat Purbeck Isle was lost off the Dorset coast in 2012.
The Portland helicopter was involved in the search for the fishing boat.
She said the petition had been a culmination of 18 months hard work and the campaign had covered Dorset, Lee-on-Solent, the Isle of Wight and down to Cornwall. They had even been getting signatures on the train to London.
She said: "I'd just like to say a huge, huge thank you to everybody that has signed the campaign. Everyone has been so supportive."
Mrs Craig said the campaigners want to see a new debate on keeping the helicopter. She said: "It's vital."
Debbie Joy thanked the more than 200 companies that had helped them collect signatures. She said: "They are amazing- we couldn't have done it without them."
Dr Ian Mew is a consultant on intensive care and director of major trauma unit at Dorset County Hospital. He praised the campaigners and said he believed 'without a doubt' that lives would be lost if the helicopter left Portland.
Sandra West thanked everyone who had signed the petition- either online or the paper petition.
Roger MacPherson said the day was a culmination of the campaigners' hard work and he hoped the government would listen.
Mr Drax paid tribute to all the campaigners for all their hard work. He said: "I'd like to congratulate Belinda and her team for a remarkable feat of getting 108,500 signatures. It's an incredible feat and only reinforces all our views about the significance of our helicopter and the importance of its retention."
Looking to the future the campaigners hope the petition hand in will spark a new debate on the issue in the House of Commons.
Government e-petitions containing more than 100,000 signatures can trigger a debate in the House of Commons.
Mr Drax said he will continue to talk to the government about the retention of the Portland helicopter and will be again writing to the minister on the issue.
HELICOPTER campaigners said they wanted to give a special thank you to the following businesses for their help and support: Tom at Abbotsbury Fishing Tackle, Mark at Beer fish and chip shop, Poole Tyres, Parkstone Car Care, Amelia at Avonheath cafe, Alexandra's fish and chip shop, Brian Traves at the RNLI lifeboat museum, Freshwater Beach Holiday Park, Vines farm shop and butchers and Vines Country Kitchen, Mr Derosa, Brixinton fish and chips, Mother Kelly's in Emsworth, Mr Needs at Frydays, G Hayter and Sons, Lakeside fish and chips and Ahmed at Barnacles fish and chips.

Watford have confirmed midfielder Iriney has joined Real Mallorca on loan until the end of the season, subject to the deal gaining international clearance.
The 32-year-old was expected to seal a move to the Islanders after undergoing and passing a medical.
Iriney, who joined the Hornets from Granada in the summer, returns to Spain after making 17 appearances this season.
He made 14 starts and three substitute appearances for the Golden Boys in all competitions.
The combative player had spent 11 years in Spain before his move to Watford and made 236 appearances in all competitions during that time.
He joined Rayo Vallecano from Brazilian side Sao Caetano in 2002 and also enjoyed spells at Celta Vigo and Almeria before a three-year stint at Real Betis.
Iriney was a regular starter for Granada during the first half of last season but then the club opted for a more creative option after they signed Recio on loan from Malaga.

RAOGK has won many awards[1] and has been featured in smaller local papers such as The Daily News, Jacksonville NC, the Lorain Morning Journal, OH, and the St. Petersburg Times, Florida — as well as AARP Magazine and the New York Times[2] for the unique service it offers to researchers.
Volunteers from any part of the globe may offer various services to any requester such as research of death records, public records, obituaries, marriage records and deed records to name a few. Other volunteers will offer to photograph burial sites, cemeteries and tombstones. Any fees requested by the volunteers are based upon actual costs involved, such as gas mileage, record fees, or postage. However, in most cases, the services are rendered free of charge in the spirit of offering a random act of (genealogical) kindness to a stranger in search of family ties. Thus the name of the organization came into being from the nature of the services offered.

Fighting for Good Food: Paul Quinn College and Social Justice
I am on quite a few mailing lists of historically black colleges and universities. From time to time, I receive something that is really innovative and refreshing, including a story this week from Paul Quinn College. I think it deserves some attention.
Paul Quinn is a small—many would say struggling—historically black college in Dallas, Texas, that is forced to be incredibly innovative in order to survive and matter. Its president, Michael Sorrell, has become quite active in the city of Dallas and in some national circles.
One of the college's most recent endeavors is a fight for a grocery store near the Paul Quinn campus. Like many predominantly black, urban areas in the United States, the community around Paul Quinn lacks access to healthy food. There isn't a grocery store within a six-mile radius of the college and the community in which the college resides. President Sorrell has reached out to several grocery chains, and none of them are willing to move a store into the Highland Hills community (where Paul Quinn is located).
Frustrated, Sorrell and the Paul Quinn family transformed an unused football field into an organic, urban farm. They grow food for the college and community. This is a good start, but the neighborhood still needs greater access to healthy food.
Recently the city of Dallas began discussing the expansion of the McCommas Bluff Landfill, which is less than two miles from the Paul Quinn campus. According to the city, the expanded landfill would be state of the art and would create hundreds of jobs over the next 20 years.
Here's President Sorrell's stance on the landfill expansion: "If you can transform a dump that's less than two miles from our neighbors into a cutting-edge facility, surely you can find a way to help us build a quality grocery store to serve these citizens, who live more than six miles from the nearest store. Economic development can come in many forms, but it starts with people being properly nourished—that's food, not refuse."
In an effort to educate the community (including Paul Quinn students) and open a dialogue between the community and the city of Dallas, President Sorrell hosted a conversation on the college campus. More than 250 people, including a large number of Paul Quinn students, attended the meeting. By hosting this meeting and leading the charge to challenge the city of Dallas and fight for a grocery store for the community around Paul Quinn, President Sorrell is fulfilling the historic mission of black colleges.
For over a century, black colleges have fought for social justice and civil rights—in this case, the right of the community around Paul Quinn to have access to healthy food. In leading such a fight, Sorrell is not only teaching students about their rights, but he is helping them to understand how to change the economics of poverty in urban areas. Sounds like a worthwhile lesson to me.Return to Top
