An international conference
Over the last twenty years or so there has been much interest in music and diaspora, that is in migrating music. No doubt this interest is historically grounded. Movement of peoples and their music across the world has been occurring to an unprecedented extent and in novel ways. Researchers in a variety of disciplines have then responded by studying musical flows and the formation of hybrid styles, but also the way in which apparently similar music can mean quite different things in different contexts. We might sum up the overarching framework as one in which researchers focus on the (largely benign) diversification and pluralisation of musical meaning and experience.
We do not seek to overturn this framework. Quite simply, it taps an important part of the reality of migrating music in the contemporary period. But we do want to bring up a number of problems and issues, and call on colleagues to think about what these might mean.
Media. Mediation has been crucial to the global movement of musics, from the hymnal to the Web 2.0. Diasporas take recordings with them when they move; broadcasters and record companies cater to them in new lands; 'World Music' was launched as a marketing and media category. What, then, is the impact of mediation on migrating music, and are diasporas and host communities mere recipients, or rather active shapers of their musical diets?
Politics. The orthodoxy of today is that musical migration is predominantly a Good Thing, and that hybridity always has a progressive dimension. By the same token authenticity has become a straw target. But can the authentic be a significant value for musical cultures as they are relocated around the world? And were early commentators entirely wrong to worry about 'Americanisation' or 'Westernisation'? Indeed are there new models that take into account 'Bollywoodisation' and the effects of other international culture industries? Does a focus on hybridisation sometimes obscure larger relations of economic, cultural, and aesthetic domination?
Style. Hybridity is rarely used in verb form. But the processes of stylistic transformation wrought by musical migration are very much about action – making change across time, space, codes and cultures. What are these 'trans' processes? Do they always depend on mixing, or can new migrant styles emerge from endogenous reference back to home styles? And how far are music makers and audiences consciously pushing to create the new?
We invite proposals for papers which address these and related questions from across the disciplines: (ethno)musicology, cultural and media studies, sociology, anthropology, history and performance studies. The conference emerges from the AHRC research project based at the Open University, Tuning In: Diasporic Contact Zones @ BBC World Service. So contributions which concern international broadcasting and/or the BBC are particularly welcome. We are also keen to receive proposals from practitioners – music makers, journalists and broadcasters.
Proposals for 20 minute papers should be between 150 and 200 words in length. Themed panels are welcome too. For panel proposals please submit 3 paper abstracts together with a panel title, a 50 word panel rationale, and the name of your panel convenor/chair.
Please send to Karen Ho at email@example.com. Closing date for submission is 22nd February, 2009.

Birmingham Driveway have stepped things up in terms of their technology. We all know how frustrating it can be when you work in a profession to think that something is level, only to find that it isn't. When this happens, you need to re-do the entire project again and if you don't then it could result in more problems later down the line. On top of this, you may also find that you are wasting your customer's time, so this is again, something that you need to think about. From a customer point of view, if you don't have a very good builder working with you, you may find that the result at the end just isn't what you wanted and this will set you back in terms of both time and money.
Birmingham Driveway however have put an end to all of this, by investing in some satellite guided laser-levelling equipment. This equipment is fully designed to check the layout of the job before it has been completed, ensuring that it is done to the highest quality as well as making sure that everything is in full and complete order. The technology can also be used to determine the quality of the job upon completion so you can already start to see how this could revolutionise the driveway industry and everything that is involved with the general construction.
A lot of people who work in the driveway industry are forced to use manual levelling equipment when measuring out their driveways and this can make things even more difficult for the future. From this point, they then need to attach string, or rope to two posts and this is the level for any work that is going to be done. With weather conditions and manual labour, it is understandable how this could be slightly off in some instances and if you don't have a completely level driveway then this can lead to plenty of problems later. Even so, true professionals can generally get it completely level but that doesn't mean that it is worth taking the risk.
That is why Birmingham Driveway have decided to invest in this new technology, which uses laser levelling systems to ensure that the end result is completely 100% level without any room for error. This allows the people who are installing the driveway to get the job done to a remarkable standard and it also ensures that the customer gets the best result as well. With so many companies wanting to provide a better service to their customers, technology upgrades have gone through the roof but some companies just aren't willing to pay the money needed to invest. With companies like Birmingham Driveway however, they are diligent in their approach to their job and the customers that they serve and that is why they have chosen to invest in this laser levelling system.
The satellite guided laser-levelling equipment is state of the art and a lot of contractors are still using pen and paper so you can already start to see how this could change the way things are done from the moment they arrive on site. Of course, there are always advancements in the construction industry and things are always changing but as you can see, it is very important for companies to change with the times and that is why Birmingham Driveway have gone with this. Customers can now expect to receive a service that is incomparable to companies that still use pen and paper and it is a great step forward for technology and the driveway industry.

Texas National Guard Unit Seizes Bush Ranch in Crawford Texas
AP January 24, 2009
The White house announced today that a small unit of the Texas National Guard, along with militray police, today seized the ranch and property in Crawford, TX, belonging to ex-President George W.Bush.
Not much detail was given by White House Press Secretary Kenneth Larios, other than a brief confirmation of the ation, and the report that 'all had gone smoothly'. Secretary Larios did go into some details about the reasons for the action, and what the current White House hoped to acheive.
"As you know' Larios stated, 'ex-President Bush left the US sometime in the week or so leading up to President Dialogue's innauguration. Through his contacts in the intelligence community, he apparently became aware that the new Administration was seeking certain information, and the answers to certain questions from him. President Dialogue feels that there are unresolved questions relating to US taxpayer funds, and also military and intelligence activity that could only be answered with the help of ex-President Bush. Apparently, Mr.Bush did not feel like co-operating with the current Administration. In fact, it appears that he was attempting to block the obtaining of certain information. When he didn't appear at the Innauguration ceremonies, our feelings were confirmed. And we also have substantial evidence that there might have been crimes commited that were being concealed, crimes that affected the American people in a serious way. So, President Dialogue, with the cooperation of loyal Justice Dept. officials obtained a warrant for the arrest of George W.Bush.'
'At the present, it appears that ex-Presidnt Bush is in Colombia. We are aware of the fact that the Bush family has extensive property holdings in Paraguay, which is in the same region. President Dialogue has spoken with Paraguayan President Fernando Lugo about this matter, and officials from both countries are discussing the situation to see what we can resolve. We also have spoken with ministers from Colombian President Uribe's staff, but President Dialogue has not yet spoken with Uribe himself. So, the situation regarding the former President remains in limbo for the moment.'
'This being the case, President Dialogue, by powers granted to him under the Warner Act, has ordered a seizure of the Bush ranch in Crawford, TX. A small unit of the Texas Army National Guard was used, because President Dialogue felt this matter was beyond the scope of the local police officials to handle at his time. The ranch has been seized, and investigators from the Justice Depart. are in the process of collecting any computer files and paperwork that may be there. In addition, all financial accounts that can be obtained and identified as belonging to George W. Bush have been frozen, and are currently under the control of the US Government.'
' We have spoken with Mr. Bush's father, George HW Bush, to see if he can be of any assistance in helping us deal with this matter. So far, the elder Mr.Bush has been unforthcoming in our discussions with him. We still hope to obtain his cooperation."

Trade Ed. Phoenix Audio 1993
David Dukes uses a quick pace and distinct voicing to present a wide cast from Spenser's Boston milieu. These include his girl friend, a Beacon Hill aristocrat, his arrogant son and whispering daughter, a tough policeman, a gay rookie, a suave U.S. senator and his thugs. When the action moves to a sleepy Southern town, Dukes slows his pace and speaks in wonderful drawls, both educated and uneducated, both male and female characters. The listener will find this enjoyable, fast-moving and delightful, especially the Southern accents. Spenser may decide to let " sleeping dogs lie," but the listener will not want to sleep until finishing all the tapes. M.G.S. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPT 93]

...that Rome's gospel does not give anyone peace because it is not the biblical gospel, there is no finished work of Christ upon which true PEACE can be established between the believer and God. That's the issue. Are there all sorts of other issues? You bet. Is it a blaspheme against Christ, the elevation of Mary? You bet! False worship! Is it not amazing that the only thing Rome can use its alleged authority on the past 200 years is to define beliefs on that were NEVER a part of the Church and never part of the primitive Church, but they're all about Mary? Yeah, is that not a blight upon the faith? Yes, it is. Isn't Purgatory a (sic) horrific thing? Yes, it is. Isn't the infallibility of the pope an absurd attack upon God's revelation in Scripture? Yes, it is. But the fundamental issue is the fact that the Roman Catholic Church does not possess and in fact anathematizes the Gospel of Jesus Christ. That's the issue. So, I answer the question, presented by C. Michael Patton in his article, Are Roman Catholics Saved? If a Roman Catholic is saved, they are saved in spite of the Roman Catholic Church, not because of it. But, the specific said, presented in the article, Do I believe that someone who is a committed MEMBER can be a true Christian? If what you mean by that they are a knowl... (sic) that they understand, that they are a knowledgeable member of the Church, they understand what's teaching? The ONLY answer to that question that I can offer while holding the New Testament in my hand, open to the Book of Galatians is, NO. C. Michael Patton says, yes. There's the difference.Well, OK, let's take the side-topics first.
1) The "elevation of Mary" White calls a "blaspheme." After literally years, even decades now, of dealing with White, I can't understand how he can continue to present this falsehood! IF Catholics had made the Blessed Virgin into a goddess, THEN he would have an argument of blaspheme. Mary is not a goddess in Catholic theology, regardless of that which non-Catholics wish to impute to us. Is she elevated? YES! As Scripture teaches, ALL generations shall call her blessed (pronounced "bless+ed"). In this scriptural teaching we see this not as merely a descriptive adjective, but a title - the Blessed Virgin Mary. Catholicism (and Orthodoxy) fulfills this scriptural prophecy. This certainly is not a "blaspheme."
2) False worship, White also alleges. Again, he is simply wrong. Catholics do not worship the Blessed Virgin in any way like one would worship God. Worship, simply stated, is honor. We are instructed, in Scripture, to "honor your father and your mother," does that mean we "worship" our parents? Well, again, not in the same sense we worship God! Catholicism actually has different words to distinguish between the honor given to God, which is latria, and the honor given to the Saints, which is dulia - and the honor given to the Blessed Virgin, which is hyper-dulia. In TRUE Catholic teaching, not that which is continually misrepresented by White, there is quite a distinction between the honor given Mary v. the honor given to God. I grant you, White cannot see this distinction - but this only shows his blindness, even bigotry, toward the TRUTH.
3) Is Purgatory an horrific thing? Again, White exposes his willful ignorance of this subject. I say willful ignorance because he and I have discussed this before and yet he continues to misrepresent and misalign the Catholic Church's teaching on Purgatory - which is scripturally based. I realize White rejects our interpretation of Scripture on this matter, and even rejects part of Scripture itself on this matter - but his rejection does not equate to truth. His rejection only posits that he has a different view of the Scriptures on this subject and does not negate that the Catholic Church bases her teaching in Scripture on this subject.
4) The infallibility of the pope, White claims is "an absurd attack on God's revelation in Scripture." Well, there are two things here which White rejects - a) the papacy itself and b) infallibility of the pope.
So, to begin, the papacy has ALWAYS been part of the Church and began with St. Peter, continued to St. Linus, then St. Cletus, then St. Clement, etc. and all the way to the current successor, Pope Benedict XVI who, as of this writing is now Bishop Emeritus of Rome and the "seat is empty" while we await the election of the next successor of St. Peter. Even though we are in a period of sede vacante, Pope Benedict remains the most recent successor of St. Peter. Rejection of the papacy is scripturally and historically unsound.
Secondly, infallibility. Again, this is based in Scripture. In Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus is speaking directly to, and solely to, St. Peter. He tells St. Peter that whatsoever he binds or looses on Earth is bound or loosed in Heaven. Unless White contends that error could be bound or loosed in Heaven, THAT is infallibility! The only absurdity here is in DENYING papal infallibility!
Now, to the meat of this response, that which White calls "the bottom line," is the Gospel. C. Michael Patton, while himself opposed to Catholicism, actually gets this right - but White's whole response is an attempt to discredit Patton. One might say that by White's stance in this response that he doesn't even consider Patton to be a Christian. Let us look at Patton's own words here (which White read at the beginning of his video response) and let the objective reader decide who is really preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and who is preaching a false gospel.
Are Roman Catholics Saved? Short answer: I don't know. However, don't read to much into that. I don't know if Protestants are Christian. I don't know if many who go to my evangelical church are Christian. By "Christian" I mean someone who has truly been regenerated by God and is, as a result, a genuine disciple of Christ.Now I ask the reader - who is more in line with the preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, White or Patton? What strikes me is that Patton does not put himself in God's Judgment Seat - and White does. Patton allows for God to be the judge of Catholics, White does not. That being said, White is a bit inconsistent on this, even within this video response! While White's ultimate answer is "NO" - Catholics are not Christians, he does state, "If a Roman Catholic is saved, they are saved in spite of the Roman Catholic Church, not because of it." For White to be consistent he must give up this "if clause," otherwise he's really in agreement with Patton's article.
Of course, a better question that people are getting at is this: Do I believe that someone who is a committed member of the Roman Catholic Church can be a true Christian? To this I answer "yes." Now, to be fair, I do not feel that the majority of Roman Catholics with whom I have come in contact are true believers. But, to be fairer, I don't believe that the majority of Protestants (and Eastern Orthodox for that matter) with whom I have come in contact are true believers either! It is the problem of nominalism. Simply confessing to be a part of any Christian tradition does not mean that one truly embraces the ideals of said tradition. Christians are those who truly believe in who Christ is and do their best to follow him.
I think the most important question that has ever been asked in the history of the world is, "Who do you say that I am?" (Matt. 16:15). The confession of Roman Catholicism, along with that of Protestantism and Eastern Orthodoxy, has been united concerning this for two thousand years: "Jesus Christ is the God-Man who died for our sins and rose from the grave." Getting that right is no small thing. In fact, I would say that to have a true belief in such a creed requires the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit. Roman Catholicism is to be commended, in my opinion, for being an ardent defender of the Trinity, the resurrection of Christ, and the necessity of belief in such. Though there are many passages I could turn to, I think 1 John 4:2 says more than we often give it credit for. In fact, I would say that this is one of the most neglected passages which could be used to defend the deity of Christ. Notice:
1 John 4:2Without getting too much into this (as it deserves its own blog post!), this passage teaches that a true belief that Christ is man and God is an indication that someone is "from God." You may say that it only talks about his humanity ("in the flesh") and not his deity. But I believe that implied within this is an assumption of Christ's deity. Why? Because there would be no reason to deny that Christ had come in the flesh were it not assumed that he was God. I mean, how hard is it to deny that someone has come "in the flesh", if they were only thought of as being human? It is a foregone conclusion that they have "come in the flesh"! This passage makes no sense, unless it is assumed that a person believes that Christ is God. But the point that I want to make right now is that it is a big deal to believe in the humanity and deity of Christ. Think about how rare this really is outside of Christianity. Obviously, atheists do not confess this, but what about Muslims, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Hindus, and agnostics? They don't have as an essential core to their confession (to say the least) that Christ is the God-man. The best of Catholics do. The best of Protestants do. The best of Eastern Orthodox do. It is because of this that I don't easily dismiss Roman Catholics' status before God. They get the "Who do you say that I am?" question right.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.
Not only this, but Catholics believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ. They believe that we are sinners in need of grace. Even though they lean toward inclusivism since Vatican II, they still believe that there is no other name by which we must be saved. Again, this is significant stuff which, if truly believed, I don't see how an unregenerate person can confess without salvific implications. All of this can be said about Eastern Orthodoxy as well.
So, what IS "the Gospel of Jesus Christ?" It can be quite concisely summed up in John 3:16:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.Patton does well to repeat the question Jesus Himself asked of the Apostles, "Who do you say I am?" To which St. Peter stands up and answers, "You are the Christ, Son of the Living God." (Matthew 16:15-16) It is this testimony which Jesus responds to, stating flesh and blood did not teach this to Peter, but the Holy Ghost did - and then, as mentioned above, states that whatsoever he, Peter, binds or looses on Earth shall be bound or loosed in Heaven. Infallible authority is given to St. Peter, but I digress. The point is that St. Peter confesses with his mouth who Jesus is - and as he was led to that truth by the Holy Ghost, so are Catholics. The message of John 3:16 truly is the summary of the Gospel and the belief in the finished work of Jesus Christ. The other (side) issues which White addressed are misconceptions on his part. I have peace in understanding God's love for me and confidence that He will provide me with the ability to persevere in the One, True Faith and that He will not allow me to be tempted beyond that which I can handle. I am quite at peace.
Below is the video response in its entirety, the section I transcribed was in the last 15 minutes or so.

Party Food
Kid's Party Food: Halloween Milk and Cookies
Halloween preparations are in full swing at our house. We've decorated and now we're busy in the kitchen creating Halloween kid's party food. Sam was excited on a recent shopping trip at Target to find Limited Edition TruMoo Orange Scream milk. I also got all the ingredients to make Spider Cookies together. Talk about the perfect treat for Halloween!
Just like regular TruMoo, it's made with wholesome low-fat white milk with no artificial growth hormones or high fructose corn syrup — you'll be happy when it puts a spell on your family! It's available for the month of October at retailers nationwide. Not only is it delicious with a Halloween cookie snack, it's great to use in recipes, like The Monster Mash Float or Paranormal Pudding. However you serve TruMoo Orange Scream, be sure to serve it in a clear glass so everyone can enjoy the awesome orange color!
While we were at Target, Sam also picked out a second Halloween costume. He will be attending a Halloween party at a farm — as soon as I found out about the party, I envisioned him destroying his WHITE Buzz Lightyear costume. So I decided a second costume was a good choice. He loves How to Train Your Dragon and was thrilled to find a Hiccup costume. It's perfect because it will hide any dirt he picks up at the farm!
Creating the Spider Cookies was easy. Sam helped out as we created a classic peanut butter ball and then added candy eyes and licorice legs to turn them into spiders for a fun Halloween treat.
Spider Cookies
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, softened
- 1 lb dipping chocolate or 1 lb confectioner's coating
- 60 candy eyes
- 30 licorice sticks
- Stir together powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter until well mixed. Place in refrigerator for a few minutes to make mixture easier to mold.
- Shape peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet covered with waxed paper.
- Let balls stand for 20 minutes until dry.
- Melt the dipping chocolate or confectioners' coating.
- Drop balls one at a time in melted chocolate.
- Using a fork, remove from the chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Place back on the waxed paper.
- Add candy eyes and licorice legs.
- Let stand until dry.
- Store tightly covered in a cool dry place.

Stephanie is in love with a boy named Sam. He has taught her that it's okay to jump first and look later, to wear a dirty shirt to the park and to decide that today is a good day to take a nap in your rubber boots. She hangs out here blogging at Spaceships and Laser Beams and at our printable party shop on Etsy.

For example, in one instance, the computer would go on stand-by and then wake up in 30 seconds without any reason. This event was one of those recorded in the event log even though it did not provide any information about the reason of the waking up. In that particular case, the problem was fixed by updating the firmware of the video card (the relevant event was event id 6 from ACPI).

On Sunday I was at the Anchorage Hilton to photograph the wedding of Eun and Yong. The room was amazing. Beautiful views of the city, wonderful catering from the Hilton and an hour long ceremony in front of 60 of their close friends and family. While the wedding and reception itself was over in a couple hours, we took that time to take the bride and groom out to an overlook in Bayshore for some amazing couple photos.
To cap the night off I was invited to a private residence to photograph a traditional ceremonial wedding with the bride and grooms family. Both of them changed into traditional colorful outfits, and had a beautiful ceremony. The family was so generous, and I loved sharing their culture and traditions. They made sure to load me up with a plate full of traditional deserts and candies which I loved! – Chris Beck

In the back of Preston Road Church of Christ in University Park, volunteers are trying to fill a need.
Christ's Family Clinic was founded in December 2003, when the then-senior pastor of the church, Scott Sager, wanted to bring low-cost medical care to the area's employees. Organizers hoped to provide clinical services in a safe, convenient environment for the uninsured who were working in the Park Cities area.
"It's a nice community for volunteers to feel safe going; it's also a safe community for patients because they're not having to worry about, 'OK, well, it's after hours, what about my kids?'" said Dr. Katrina Bradford, a family practitioner who has been with the organization since its inception. "The intention was a community-worker clinic for our uninsured amongst us."
The clinic offers various services to patients by appointment. The cost is $15 for a visit and $10 for lab work and shots. The clinic was started to serve the community as a whole, said Steven Bradford, Katrina's husband and the chairman of the clinic's board. The clinic has patients from many types of employment, including retail workers, painters and housekeepers.
The clinic got its start in what Katrina Bradford calls a "glorified closet." Katrina worked with physician James Walton, who helped to start up the clinic for about one year, she said. Volunteers have come and gone — reaching 14 at one time — and the clinic is now functioning with nine volunteers. In 2012, the clinic saw 197 patients and had more than 1,100 clinic visits — all handled with 1,200 volunteer hours.
"Right now, it's 100 percent volunteer, but we would like to supplement and complement that with the appropriate funding and contributions from others to facilitate that," Steven Bradford said.
They have plans to hire an executive director and would like to be able to hire a part-time physician and physician assistant for the clinic, which is privately funded.
When the clinic started, it found some traction in gaining clients thanks to media coverage and flyers. It also received direct patient referrals through Project Access Dallas and from staff working in local emergency rooms. Patients often told their friends, family and coworkers about it, as well, Steven Bradford said.
The Bradfords, residents of University Park, explained the care given is necessary and valuable to the patients who visit. Katrina Bradford's primary practice is at Baylor Family Health Center at Richardson.
"Their care is the same here as my private office, but they're just not paying for it — or their insurance company isn't paying for it," Katrina Bradford said.
The clinic worked with Dallas County Medical Society for a number of years under Project Access Dallas, a program that lost its funding and has since shuttered. Billy Lane, director of community service at DCMS, said Christ's Family Clinic is crucial to helping patients and other areas of medical care.
"For those who have chronic problems, like diabetes or hypertension, having that point of care and accountability kind of helps those conditions stay under control and manageable so that the patient doesn't end up in the emergency room, which is usually where they go," he said. "They [the clinic staff] contribute to patients, obviously, but they really kind of help the bottom line that's out of control when it comes to urgent care."
Kenneth Roberts, who works at an area YMCA, has been going to the clinic since it opened.
"I think it's doing a wonderful service to the community since the time that I've been coming here. This clinic — it has totally helped me out medically. I give it so many stars," he said. "It's amazing how this type of concept — this idea, this type of clinic — really helps people. I think they should have a whole lot of clinics set up like this in a lot of areas."
The Bradfords said they hope to grow the clinic. They have adequate space in the basement of the church — and say they could even expand, if needed — but they need more physicians to volunteer.
Right now, they're not accepting any new patients, but they need to be able to soon, they said.
"There are people that are in this community who may not live in 75225 or 75205, but they work in the retail, they work in the restaurants, they work in their yard — they are part of this community, they are an integral part of this community," Steven Bradford said. "Everyone thinks of this area as a bunch of affluent people, and it's not. It's a village. And there's no shortage of need in this area."

As 2013 comes to a close, everyone produces lists for the year in review. I love these, and look forward to reading them every year. As we jump into 2014, we wanted to review the computer viruses, scams, and issues that made their appearance in 2013 and will probably continue into 2014, so you can make sure you and your technology continue to be informed and protected. When you log on remember to STOP. THINK. CONNECT.
CryptoLocker – Emerging into the computer world in the fall, hackers were hitting computer systems and holding personal information and files for ransom. The concept of holding something for ransom has been around for ages, but this is the first time it has taken a 21st century twist holding your computer hostage and demanding money to get it back.
This virus was developed by organized criminals overseas, and is spread through phony attachments in emails. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid opening email attachments from unfamiliar senders or that you are not expecting to receive.
You should also invest in good anti-virus protection software, and if you are hit they suggest unplugging your computer immediately before the program as had a change to run completely. The hope is that the virus stalled when you unplugged your equipment and an expert technician will be able to salvage your data.
Microsoft Phone Scam – This was making its rounds during the summer months, and even happened to one of our franchise owners. Its goal is to catch people off guard, lull them into a false sense of trust by saying they are from Microsoft and there is an issue with your computer, and you give them remote access to your computer.
Once the representative, claiming to be from Microsoft, has access to your computer they install a virus. Then charging you money to remove and repair your computer.
FBI Virus – This global Internet scam gets into your computer and preys on your fear of being contacted by the FBI and threatened with jail time. A fake message with the FBI logo will appear on your screen claiming, virtually locking your computer, that you illegally downloaded some type of material. Then like a ransom notice, the attacker forces a payment for access to the computer.
Computers become infected, most of the time undetected by the user, when a unfamiliar email attachment or an untrustworthy website is accessed.
Facebook Virus – The Facebook Virus is transmitted through Facebook by clicking a link, then find its way to your bank account and drain all of the available money. This virus, commonly called Zeus, will remain inactive on your computer until someone log into a banking website. It then swiftly moves into action, stealing username and passwords so the funds can be accessed by thieves.
The best line of defense is to only click on links from people you know that do not look suspicious or contain strange patterns or characters. Also, because this virus targets bank accounts, making sure your banking establishment's website is secure and has a 2-step verification process will help protect your money.
Search Conduit – Our final virus is not a traditional virus, it is actually a browser hijack. It is a menace that exhibits malicious traits. It is most commonly bundled and installed through something you downloaded, it will add the Conduit Toolbar and change your browser homepage and default search engine to search.conduit.com.
The Conduit search engine will display advertising and sponsored links in your search results and will act very much like Google and Bing. It will also collect search terms from your queries in an effort to boost their advertising revenue, which is a black hat SEO tactic. It is pretty difficult to remove since it takes hold of some many pieces of your computer including your browser and operating system.

Ant Baits (Ant Poison) are one of the most effective ways to eliminate ant infestations. Ant Baits work well because they allow the ants to carry the bait back to the colony and the queen, where the bait is spread, eventually eliminating the infestation.
Ant baits are one of the best ways to get rid of Ants. Because Ants are one of the most numerous creatures on earth you're very likely to have to deal with them at some point; in fact they outnumber humans by roughly a million to one. There is almost no end to the amount of trouble they can cause when they cross paths with humans, either inside or outdoors.
Not only do they get into and contaminate food, but there are also many species that bite or sting people, occasionally with life threatening results. Because they are so numerous and such highly social creatures, whose colonies can be huge, getting rid of Ants can be a somewhat daunting task especially if you have never attempted it before. The good news is there are many products available here at Do My Own Pest Control that can help you take control of the problem and eliminate all those pesky Ants.
Ant Bait is one of the most effective ways of eliminating ant infestations. There are several things you should know both about ants in general, and ant baits specifically, before attempting any type of eradication. For one, ant bait, especially when used with ant traps, works particularly well because it allows the ants to carry the bait back to the colony and the queen, where the bait is spread and eventually getting rid of the entire infestation. However, not all ant baits are made the same and what works for one species might be left completely alone by another species, defeating the entire purpose.
*While baits do work more slowly than sprays or dusts, the delay also allows baits to work more completely and efficiently towards elimination of the entire ant colony.
On the market today, there are two main types of ant baits that work well:
Maxforce ant bait gel attracts Ants that are looking for a sweet meal. It contains a potent insecticide which has the benefit of not acting immediately on the insect, so that it will eat the bait as well as take some back to its nest, thereby spreading the poison around and vastly improving the overall effectiveness of one application of this bait. Maxforce can be applied on virtually any surface where the ants might travel, and provides protection against a wide variety of species including Argentine Ants, Pavement Ants and Honey Ants.
Gourmet ant bait is a liquid based sweet ant attractant that contains a powerful pesticide known as Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate, or DOT. This product will not only attract the ants and cause them to eat the pesticide, but it's slow action will also ensure that they take much of the product back to their nest, sharing it with their queen and fellow workers and leading to a rapid decline in the size of the nest and therefore of the overall infestation.
TIP: Most ant baits work for all ants, however there are some that are specifically made to treat fire ants or carpenter ants. The name of the bait will tell you this (ie Maxforce FIRE ANT bait).
Our Ant Baits include popular professional grade products such as Maxforce Ant Bait, Advion Ant Bait, Advance Ant Baits and more. These ant baits are not found in stores such as Lowe's, Walmart or Home Depot. If you are looking for a type of bait that we don't carry, please call us and we can get it for you!

Ganja, weed, pot — it's more than the munchie-inducing, giggle-causing sticky icky that the movies make it out to be. With Colorado and Washington at the forefront of marijuana legalization, people seem to forget that the medical use of marijuana has been around for centuries across many cultures. The laws may still be fuzzy in some states, so here are 10 things you didn't know about medical marijuana, plus a few facts about the influence (and benefits) it has on your body.

Average work commute
Your Two Cents: How Does Your Commute Compare?
I'm a sucker for statistics that show how many days we spend each year sleeping, brushing our teeth, sitting in traffic, etc. Did you know that New Yorkers spend about a week each year traveling to their jobs? They spend about 38 minutes a day commuting, while it takes about 25 minutes for most Americans to get to work.
I was surprised to find that the average San Francisco commute is slightly longer — or was longer, the Census data is a bit dated — than commuting in Los Angeles. Whenever I'm visiting L.A., I feel like a quarter of my trip is spent in traffic!
So, how long does it take you to get to work?

By Marshall Fine
Much of what became the folk-music revival of the late 1950s and early
1960s--from which came Peter, Paul, and Mary, the Kingston Trio, and Bob
Dylan, among others--began in the late 1940s with a group called the
Weavers. Made up of Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, Fred Hellerman, and Pete
Seeger, the Weavers were part of a movement of socially conscious singers
that began with Woody Guthrie (who, with Hays and Seeger, formed the
Almanac Singers in the 1940s). This 1982 documentary captures a reunion
performance at Carnegie Hall in the early 1980s of the now-aged Weavers,
blending contemporary footage of the concert with background about the
intemperate, intolerant times in which the Weavers first emerged. The film
provides solid history of the McCarthy era, when the Weavers--riding high
with a No. 1 hit in "Goodnight, Irene"--found themselves
blacklisted as suspected Communists.

Director: Jim Brown
Stars: Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie, Studs Terkel, Don McLean, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert

Recommended tour operator: Just Seychelles
Just Seychelles says
Think picture-postcard islands, magnificent beaches with sculptural granite boulders framed by casuarina and palm trees swaying in gentle sea breezes. This, coupled with some of the world's most exquisite hotels and a host of special honeymoon treats, makes the Seychelles perfect for romance.
We know the Seychelles inside-out and have selected the very best of accommodation with romance in mind – from boutique hotels to luxury resorts and private islands.
We've highlighted three hotels here to inspire you.
Coco de Mer is on the island of Praslin, with several beaches and a glorious backdrop of tropical forest. All the chalet-style rooms have a view of the Indian Ocean and we love the recent renovation and relaxed vibe here. A sunset cocktail on the resort's jetty is a must and you won't want to miss a visit to the spa at sister property, Black Parrot Suites.
A ten-minute boat ride from the main island of Mahé takes you to another world – the private island resort of Beachcomber Sainte Anne Resort & Spa. Some of the villas at this all-villa resort have a private pool – perfect for romance. The resort is set in a Marine Park, so stunning white sand beaches and colourful snorkelling are a given. There's a choice of four restaurants too.
We love the Hilton Seychelles Northolme, set on a secluded corner of Mahé. It perfectly combines the superb service and attention to detail you would expect from an international hotel group with a sense of pure escapism. There are just 40 villas – we especially recommend the newer Deluxe Oceanview Pool Villas for honeymooners.
For almost 30 years our company has offered first-hand knowledge of the Seychelles islands and their resorts. Our experienced team can even suggest just the right spot for sunset-framed wedding ceremonies. We also offer a Gift List Service.

Well not sure about that specifically, however, i have a multi user - multi access level - and multi menu access plugin available.
once you have your own menu/toolbar and have disabled "display database window" only users of certain groups have access to what menu options you set.
Let me know if you are interested;
dansometimes simple is best.... and i'm just a simple fellow.

January 24, 2007
There are approximately 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States. This staggering statistic, rarely mentioned by the media, was revealed in a study by Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute in Atlanta, Georgia.
The study investigated 1,500 cases of "serial rapes, serial murders, sexual homicides, and child molestations committed by illegal immigrants" between January 1999 and April 2006. Of the 1,500 cases examined, illegal immigrant offenders were located in 36 states with the highest number of sexual offenders in California, Texas, Arizona, New Jersey, New York, and Florida.
- Schurman-Kauflin reports that according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records, sex offenders comprise 2 percent of illegals apprehended.
- Using the statistics by ICE and the conservative estimate of 12 million illegal immigrants in this country, Schurman-Kauflin estimates there are approximately 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders currently residing in the United States.
- Also using the 2 percent figure, this means that 93 sex offenders and 12 serial sex offenders are illegally crossing the border into the United States every day.
Of the 1,500 sex offenders examined in this study, each sex offender averaged four victims for a total of approximately 6,000 victims over the 88-month period:
- Using these statistics, Schurman-Kauflin estimated that there were 960,000 sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants between January, 1999 and April, 2006.
- Particularly disturbing was that 22 percent of the victims of sex crimes committed by illegal immigrants had physical or mental handicaps, and all disabled victims were under the age of 18.
Although the illegal immigrant sex offenders came from various countries around the world, the highest number came from Mexico; El Salvador was the country of origin for the next highest number of illegal immigrant sex offenders.

Memory Consumption Analysis for the GOE and PET Unequal Erasure Protection Schemes
Unequal Erasure Protection (UEP) is an attractive approach to protect data flows that contain information of different priority levels. The various solutions that have been proposed can be classified into three families. The first one consists of specific, UEP-aware FEC codes, that map the information dependency within the code structure. It enables to design a specific solution, valid for a specific data flow. However, because this is a specific solution, its practical interest is also narrowed.

AMELIA ISLAND, Fla. -- Notre Dame's bowl opportunities this fall appear pretty clear cut: It's BCS or bust.
If Notre Dame does not qualify for a BCS bowl and there are 70 bowl eligible teams to fill all 35 bowls, the Fighting Irish could be left without a bowl.
"We don't have something set," Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick told ESPN at the ACC's spring meetings.
Notre Dame can qualify for a BCS bowl by winning at least nine games and finishing in the top 14 of the final BCS poll. If the Fighting Irish win at least six games and are not in the top 14, they are not guaranteed of a bowl berth and could get shut out of a bowl game.
"We have a lot of bowls and with conference realignment I think how that dynamic likely will play out in a few places, I think there will be bowl opportunities available," Swarbrick said. "I understand you can create a scenario where there's not [an opening], but I think there will be."

Request ID: EXW
Request Title: Exercise Wearables
Submitting Organization: NASA Johnson Space Center
For Questions about Request: Send e-mail to email@example.com
Exercise and fitness, medical, sport specific training like golf, animation and film industry, Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, Biomechanics, and others
Force shoes, wearable human motion sensors, kinematics, kinetics, heart rate, body temperature, tissue oxygen saturation
NASA JSC seeks to understand exercise forces, motions, and performance aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Knowledge of the forces and motions permits calculation of joint and muscle forces during microgravity exercise on orbit. Traditional video-based motion capture is limited on ISS by the number of available cameras and the tight space available to position the cameras. A wearable system gets around these constraints. Additionally, there is considerable need to monitor and record astronauts' biometric data (i.e. exercise intensity, energy expenditure, tissue oxygen saturation, body temperature) during daily exercise sessions and EVA or other mission critical activities. Historically, biometric medical data collected during exercise or in a spacesuit is limited to heart rate and is prone to motion artifact and poor quality. Additional and improved biometric assessments would enhance astronaut health monitoring capabilities.
NASA JSC possesses unique capabilities for maturing these technologies for remotely assessing the quality of exercise countermeasures aboard the ISS. Force shoes have been flown and assessed aboard the ISS. Wearable kinematics systems are still being researched on the ground. Improved biometric monitoring capabilities are ready to begin flight certification processes with an open ended design for continual improvement and monitoring options.
This Partner relationship may produce new IP that could be jointly owned by NASA and the partner or may become the property of the partner.
A unique challenge for an IMU on ISS is that there is no gravity vector available to determine the orientation of the sensors and therefore the exerciser. It is also unclear how the magnetometer would function, and whether it would be of use in determining sensor orientation. Collecting biometric data on astronauts' presents a unique challenge as the space environment and spacesuit are prone to signal interference and often inability to adjust the hardware once it is place on the body. Additionally, during future exploration missions, astronauts will need real time autonomous monitoring that will require the development or modification of algorithms to provide information needed to make mission critical decision.

For additional information, contact our office today.
Birth Defects Linked to Zofran
Like most prescription medications, Zofran causes a variety of side effects. These include headache, fever, dizziness, drowsiness, blurred vision and muscle spasms. In addition to common side effects, Zofran can lead to these severe birth defects if taken while pregnant:
- Heart defects such as:
- Atrial septal defect (ASD)- hole in the heart
- Ventricular septal defect (VSD)- hole between two lower chambers of the heart
- Heart murmur
- Kidney malformation or missing kidney
- Deformed skull

According to studies, women who take Zofran while pregnant are 30%more likely to deliver a child with a birth defect.
A Brief History of Zofran (Ondansetron)
Zofran (also known by its generic name, ondansetron) is an anti-nausea medication developed that entered the U.S. market in 1991. Generic brands were made available in 2006. At the time Zofran was introduced for widespread medical use in the United States, medical experts knew that it caused a variety of mild to moderate side effects, including headaches and lightheadedness.
Over time, doctors discovered a possible link between Zofran and other complications, such as severe birth defects. In 2013, researchers noticed a 200% increase in the number of heart-related defects in children whose mothers took Zofran in the first trimester of pregnancy. If you suspect that Zofran is responsible for your child's birth defect, now is time to contact the drug attorneys at Kelley/Uustal today.

Greencore's Northern mess makes it a prime target for Kerry
LAST week Greencore chief executive Patrick Coveney, brother of new Agriculture Minister Simon, finally bowed to the inevitable and walked away from his company's proposed merger with UK own-label food producer Northern Foods.
Ever since Ranjit Boparan gatecrashed the Greencore/ Northern Foods merger last January with a blockbuster £342m all-cash bid, it has been clear that Coveney's plan to merge the firms was hanging by a thread. Last week's announcement was merely acknowledgement of what most observers had concluded -- that Greencore couldn't afford to match the price Boparan was offering.
So where does Greencore go from here? With the company capitalised at a mere €243m at the current share price and its debts having been reduced to €193m following last year's disposal of its malting business, Greencore, the largest sandwich producer in the UK, is starting to look like an acquisition target itself.
With its Freshways subsidiary already the largest producer of sandwiches in Ireland, the acquisition of Greencore would give the Kerry Group top slot in the UK sandwich market also. Maybe Coveney should give Kerry boss Stan McCarthy a call.

BLACKPOOL'S latest boxing hero Brian Rose had a warning for Max Maxwell before the defence of his British light-middleweight title at the Winter Gardens tonight.
Rose said: "I am a better fight now than when I won the title."
Rose, who beat Prince Arron in Wigan in December to become king of the 11-stone division, said: "I have had ten weeks of preparation and sacrifices – I feel in top shape and I have left no stone unturned.
"I am in better shape than I was for the Prince Arron fight and I have done the weight more easily.
"I am amazed with the reception I have had and I am proud to be from Blackpool.
"As soon I have done this it is on to bigger and better things."
Maxwell is the only boxer to have beaten Rose as a professional, but the Blackpool fighter's camp are convinced that the tables will be turned tonight.
Rose's coach Bobby Rimmer said: "Brian is in fantastic shape – and this is unfinished business for him.
"He wants to right a wrong and that's the end of it.
"He has trained with a little bit more gusto and determination for this to show the Blackpool fans, who he is very proud of, that he is not a kid who gets knocked out.
"Part of the problem in him losing to Maxwell was coming home to Blackpool to face his fans.
"He wants to fight Maxwell in Blackpool in front of everybody, so that he can put it right."
Maxwell said: "Brian has the title and I want it.
"He is going to have the crowd on his side, but I fight better when I am away."
Rose was bang on the light-middleweight limit of 11-stone, while Maxwell was half a pound under.
Also on tonight's show is Preesall light-middle Jack Arnfield, who has his first fight in two years against experienced Kevin McCauley.
An unfazed Arnfield said: "I asked for a tough fight – I didn't want to come back and have some fat journeyman in front of me.
"I want to be fighting for a Central Area or English title by the end of the year.
Rimmer, who also coaches Arnfield, said: "It's like a debut again for Jack."

Finding enough qualified franchisees to add to our already successful system. Also, finding more dedicated employees who care as much as our management team.

We are always looking to grow through mutual relationships within the venture capital segment. Potential partners can contact use at firstname.lastname@example.com

Owning a franchise is a great investment to become part of an already successful established business. It is alot of fun and a great learning experience.

Apple's Director of Engineering of Unix Technologies Jordan Hubbard spoke at LISA '08 last week. LISA (or Large Installation System Administration Conference) is a technical conference targeted at engineers and system administrators. This year's conference invited Apple's Jordan Hubbard to speak about the evolution of Mac OS X from large servers to embedded platforms. While technical readers may find the content of Hubbard's presentation slides (PDF) quite interesting, the most surprising revelation is a more specific target date for Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard): 1st Quarter 2009.
