Startups Rush to Fill NAC Void
Startups Rush to Fill NAC Void
Paul F. Roberts
Posted 2005-09-19
A growing lack of NAC-compliant hardware from Cisco leaves room for vendors like Lockdown Networks and Vernier Networks to step in.
Not too long ago, NAC meant one thing: Cisco Systems Inc.s Network Admission Control technology. No longer. With Cisco moving slowly to introduce NAC (network access control) features across its product line and the price of upgrading to NAC-compliant Cisco hardware steep, the ranks of NAC technology vendors are also set to swell, as a slew of small companies and startups bring NAC products to market.
Lockdown Networks Inc., a Seattle-based maker of appliance-based vulnerability management technology, is seeing huge demand for its Lockdown Enforcer, a switch-based NAC product that the company debuted last week.
The hardware plugs directly into a companys switching infrastructure and scans systems that attempt to log on to the network for vulnerabilities, firewall configuration and compliance with user- and group-based security policies. Noncompliant systems are quarantined using VLANs (virtual LANs) created through the switch by Enforcer, company officials said. Vernier Networks Inc., of Mountain View, Calif., has seen sales of EdgeWall, its network access management tool, soar since its launch in March. Revenue from EdgeWall sales doubled from the second and third fiscal quarters of this year, said CEO Simon Khalaf.
Next month, Vernier will release a version of EdgeWall that allows the device to be placed behind VPN concentrators to screen SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) VPN connections for malicious code or other security policy violations, Khalaf said. While Ciscos name is most closely associated with NAC, the companys NAC solution, which requires expensive upgrades to routers and switches and a separate desktop client, is far too costly and hard to implement for most companies, Khalaf said. In fact, some executives are happy to credit Cisco with driving customers to their door. "[Cisco] NAC has been great for us," said Khalaf. "Cisco has done a lot of education and raised awareness about the [NAC] issue, but [Cisco] NAC is a solution that requires significant infrastructure changes."
Intel and Cisco are teaming up to help companies defend against security threats.

Schlumberger Ltd., an oil-field services company in New York, did a four-month evaluation of Ciscos NAC technology but decided to go with Lockdown after Ciscos Security Agent software conflicted with applications Schlumberger was running internally, said Mario Chiock, a senior IT security adviser at Schlumberger. "Cisco promised a lot last year, but they havent delivered yet," Chiock said. Ciscos NAC already does, or will, support nearly every router and switch platform the company sells, including products it no longer sells, company officials said. Cisco is also planning to standardize its NAC technology through an open forum, likely next year, and deliver an agentless NAC technology in NAC2, an upcoming release, officials said. Even when the Cisco technology is mature, Schlumberger would have to replace the bulk of its Cisco networking infrastructure to take advantage of the new NAC features. "We have 1,900 [Cisco] switches that will never be upgradable," Chiock said.

Nokia Corporation (NOK - Analyst Report) is set to release its fourth-quarter 2012 results before the opening bell on Wednesday, January 24.
Despite posting a 25% positive surprise in the third quarter, Nokia failed to improve its top and bottom line results compared to the last year as its Windows-based smartphone Lumia failed to generate any meaningful market traction.
Factors to be Considered this Quarter
Things are, however, looking better in the current quarter as the company expects significant improvement in its Device and Service segment based on the good show by its flagship Lumia and low-end smartphone Asha.
The company reported in its preliminary report that it sold 4.4 million Lumia devices against 2.9 million units in the previous quarter, marking a sequential growth of nearly 52%. Nokia also sold 9.3 million units of Asha range of handsets in the fourth quarter, far better than 6.5 million handsets sold in the previous quarter, thereby posting an impressive sequential growth of about 43%.
It appears that the company's decision to develop Windows-based phones has started showing positive signs as the large screen Lumia 920 with some great imaging and mapping feature is attracting more customers. Gaining significant market traction in the emerging market is primarily attributable for the good results from Asha.
Unlike the third quarter, Nokia's activities in the fourth quarter were enough to win analysts' confidence. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter has improved in the last seven days from a negative earnings estimate of 1 cent to a current estimate of break even earnings.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Nokia Corporation is likely to beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the fourth quarter. That is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP (Read: Zacks Earnings ESP: A Better Method) and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or at least Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) or Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for this to happen. Unfortunately this is not the case here as elaborated below.
Break Even Zacks ESP: This is because the Most Accurate estimate stands at $0.04 while the Zacks Consensus is lower at $0.00. This leads to a break even ESP for Nokia.
Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy): Nokia's Zacks Rank of 1, however, increases the predictive power of ESP. That said we also need to have a positive ESP to be confident for an earnings surprise call.
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some other companies you may want to consider as our model shows they have the right combination of elements to post an earnings beat this quarter:
Apple Inc. (AAPL - Analyst Report) has Earnings ESP of +3.34% and carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). It is scheduled to report its fourth quarter results on January 23.
Research in Motion Limited is scheduled to release its fourth quarter fiscal 2013 results on March 28. It currently has a break even Earnings ESP and holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
MetroPCS Communications Inc has an Earnings ESP of positive 23.08% and carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). It is scheduled to release its fourth quarter results on January 26.
However, creating a niche for itself amid a crowded smartphone market remains the biggest challenge for the Finnish handset manufacturer.

Thu Feb 05 00:00:00 MST 2009
vacafun4 Rating:4.0The Mini Stepper with Resistance Bands is alot of exercise for your dollar. A quality made product, that stows away easily. Great for a beginner exerciser or advanced with the arm bands to create an additional cardio workout. I would recommend this product
Wed Sep 21 00:00:00 MDT 2011
mmaciass Rating:4.0Good mini stepper give you a good work out.break a good sweat. Good for traveling.would recommend to friends .price not to much

cherylkab Rating:1.0i was very excited about the watch, it was light and easy to wear. However, three days later and the watch stop working, I cannot return since i do not know where i placed the receipt.
Tue Dec 06 00:00:00 MST 2011
mydad1 Rating:1.02nd one that I purchased, elastic band snapped on the second week of use. Poor quality item. The band will snap and you might get hurt. Keep away!

mojorox71 Rating:3.0This watch is large, but definitely for a younger person. It was hard to read, and the options were not good.
Sat Apr 02 00:00:00 MDT 2011
nameloc Rating:1.0This watch is not metallic silver as described. It is a light gray rubberized sports watch resembling the color of gray garage floor paint. It is difficult, if not impossible, to set. I do not know about the functionality of the watch in other colors. The styling looks the same for all. Not a good use of money, in my opinion.
Sun Nov 22 00:00:00 MST 2009
karen401 Rating:5.0This compact little stepper fits the bill for what I needed - something small that I could leave out so that I would actually be motivated to use it. It gives you a good workout; you can really feel it in your legs! I had some concern when I read some of the comments about the clips for the resistance bands breaking...but so far, so good. It was worth the money and I would recommend this to others in need of compact exercise equipment.
Thu Feb 24 00:00:00 MST 2011
vivere Rating:5.0I have to admit I had second thoughts about this workout piece when I ordered it, as I had originally intended to order a full size elliptical machine, but I am delighted with this stepper. It has virtually no set-up, fits anywhere and I am getting a good workout for my legs without putting a dent in my busy schedule. I can already see more tone in my calves and ankles just using it for ten minute periods when I get a chance. The arm bands give an extra workout for the arms. I am happy that I found this piece, and I am holding off on getting an expensive, bulky piece of exercise equipment. I may not need it, after all!
Sat Oct 08 00:00:00 MDT 2011
cerave Rating:4.0I stopped "donating" to my local gym and so I needed something that could give me a good workout but be small enough to fit in my tiny apartment. This did both! I don't use the exercise bands at all, but they are really easy to put on and take off. The other great thing is that it is quiet when being used. I recommended this to my boyfriend and he ended up buy two. Unfortunately one was missing a rubber stopper on the bottom of the step pedals, but we were able to find an easy fix for it. Still a great at-home stepper!
Wed May 30 00:00:00 MDT 2012
aalaman Rating:1.0I bought another Valor product and was thoroughly pleased with the amount of resistance in the bands. This band however had no resistance, it was already stretched out with no room to stretch any further. :(
Tue Oct 12 00:00:00 MDT 2010
autoview12 Rating:4.0Good product. Works as described. Adjustable tension using the removable bands.
Thu Jun 21 00:00:00 MDT 2012
shannongirl Rating:5.0This watch was great quality for the price. The only down side was that it is not the most comforable but compared to other bands it is the same.
Thu Feb 04 00:00:00 MST 2010
momsilvia Rating:5.0I was looking for an affordable machine that offered the same level of work out as the large professional grade step machines I've used in the past, but in a compact design, because I have no space for exercise equipment in my home. I found that and more with the twist stepper. It's fast and easy to assemble, very compact (it fits under my bed!) and very sturdy! If you're like me, if it's too much work to drag out the equipment, you just won't ever use it - this is a great solution to that problem. I had it assembled within minutes of unpacking the box. I opted for the arm bands as opposed to the handle bars and I feel very safe and stable while on the machine. The tension is adjustable and offers a significant work out. I have all kinds of joint problems, and so far, it's been very kind to my hips and knees. The "Twist" part of this stepper also really works your waist line and that was a nice (and needed) surprise! Another notable plus is that it's QUIET - there is no noise at all actually. I can use it infront of the TV and my kids haven't complained once! Highly Recommended.
Tue Mar 20 00:00:00 MDT 2012
kory2012 Rating:4.0Great value for the price! I would recommend this product to anyone looking for inexpensive bands without sacrificing quality.
Tue Jan 29 00:00:00 MST 2013
roxyrug Rating:1.0I got this form my husband who is 65 and he used it when he was watching TV after about two weeks the band broke on it. It was only about $** so I guess you get what you pay for.
Wed Jul 08 00:00:00 MDT 2009
msjill52 Rating:4.0received order in 3-4 days. very sturdy and good quality. only thing is when i was hooking the resistence bands on , the plastic clips broke so i dont have any bands. still works great and gives your legs quite the workout.
Wed Jul 18 00:00:00 MDT 2012
ovenmitt Rating:1.0The system design for securing the elastic bands doesn't work. I've had to repair it everytime I've used it. If the elastic bands would stay on it would be a good product. I'm hoping to figure out a fix.
Sat Apr 05 00:00:00 MDT 2008
js101157 Rating:5.0Great for exercise in a small space. Wish the resistance bands were adjustable to make them more functional.
Dec 17, 2013
sisde from Seattle, WA, Rating:5.0I've had this for over a year and it still works great. It is a nice, sturdy stepper. It is small and easy to store. I like the stretch cords, you can use it with or without them. I would like it if the range of motion was greater - the steps could be a bit wider apart to better target certain problem areas, but other than that, no complaints.
Dec 12, 2013
ajames5286 from Michigan, Rating:5.0I looked all over for a 20 slam ball. They were all much more expensive and then included over twenty dollars for shipping. I saved over thirty-five dollars by purchasing through overstock.com. Every trainer at the gym loved it!
Dec 11, 2013
brad161 from Vancouver, BC, Rating:5.0Great machine. Easy to assemble and use. Quiet enough to use while watching TV!
Dec 11, 2013
phillip789 from Brooklyn, Mi., Rating:4.0Seems to be exactly as advertised. The platform is heavy duty. The control tower appears to be cheaply made as it is just very light plastic but in this price range you probably cannot expect much more. The higher speeds make the tower vibrate back and forth so a sturdier tower would have been nice. Very easy to assemble and use. This is the best unit in this price range!!!
Dec 10, 2013
msbhvnjst4fun from Tucson, AZ, Rating:5.0I have owned one of these before and a friend borrowed it an did not return it. This Box and pole is a must have for a great work out on the Reformer Pilates.

Countdown to the Conclave, Day 4: The New York Times and Hans Kung
The New York Times Trots Out the Alternate Magisterium
Whoever walks out of the doors onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica next week, or the following, will not be a disciple, even secretly, of Hans Kung. His legacy, if is there is such a thing, is gradually dying out with the retirement, one-by-one, of the tenured professors of theology in our nation's Catholic universities.
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - More Conclave hilarity yesterday, this time from a reliable source of hilarity, the New York Times. Our friend at the Catholic League, Bill Donohue, immediately sent out an email alert when the op-ed by Hans Kung appeared.
Prof. Kung, now 85 years old, is himself the embodiment of what John Paul II and Benedict XVI rescued the Church from becoming. This is not to say that Kung is not a man of immense learning -- he is! -- or a scholar with a worldwide reputation -- he has that! -- or even a man who would be a delightful companion over a glass of wine at dinner -- he would be! (Indeed, Benedict XVI surprised everyone by having him to dinner in the Vatican in 2005.)
But to feature Prof. Kung on the last day of the pontificate of Benedict XVI is the equivalent of the New York Times holding up its middle finger to the Holy Father, the Church, and the 1.3 billion Catholics around the world. This is how Donohue summarizes Kung's evaluation of the latest pontificate: According to Kung, Benedict XVI
"'irritated the Protestant churches, Jews, Muslims, the Indians of Latin America, women, reform-minded theologians and all pro-reform Catholics.' He blames the pope (when he was Cardinal Ratzinger) for covering up the sexual abuse of minors, and cites 'Vatileaks' as a problem. He also says the two major scandals of his tenure were giving 'recognition' to the 'Society of St. Pius X, which is bitterly opposed to the Second Vatican Council, as well as of a Holocaust denier, Bishop Richard Williamson.'"
Kung should know better than to speak to his elders that way! Benedict XVI, now pope emeritus, is one year older, having been born in 1927. And at least Benedict XVI knew when to "hang up his spikes," whereas Prof. Kung remains on the "spirit of Vatican II" treadmill, much like poor Sisyphus pushing his rock up the hill, only to watch it roll back down again.
If you are not familiar with the name Hans Kung, let us provide a few basic facts: He was the first major Catholic theologian to reject the doctrine of papal infallibility (see his book, Fallibility: An Inquiry, 1971). Eight years later he was stripped of his license to teach Catholic theology. His criticism of the Church, and the papacy in particular, has continued unabated ever since, including an embrace of euthanasia among other intrinsically evil practices.
Hans Kung is, it seems to us, very much a tragic figure, one of the best minds and best scholars the Church has produced in the last century. But somewhere along the road he took a wrong turn and became the virtual magisterium of Catholic dissent, a font of authority much imbibed by theologians in the academy, including many Catholic departments of "religious studies." But he became irrelevant to the development of Christian doctrine over the past forty years.
The mind of the Church developed instead through the faith and work of Joseph Ratzinger and Karol Wojtyla, with assists from theologians such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri du Lubac and their Communio circle, along with Americans such as Prof. Germain Grisez, Prof. David Schindler, and Cardinal Avery Dulles.
Whoever walks out of the doors onto the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica next week, or the following, will not be a disciple, even secretly, of Hans Kung. His legacy, if is there is such a thing, is gradually dying out with the retirement, one-by-one, of the tenured professors of theology in our nation's Catholic universities. Yes, there are other alien ideologies alive and well among the young generation of Catholic academics, but the roots of genuine Catholic theology have been re-nourished over the last two pontificates and new growth is already in evidence, e.g., the John Paul II Institute at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC.
The next pope will not only continue that true aggiornamento but will be the grateful recipient of how John Paul II and Benedict XVI won the war of ideas within the Church, a conflict initiated by none other than Prof. Hans Kung.

People like Hans Kung are a dying breed..good riddance.I never understand these so-called Catholics that attack their own faith..or pick and choose what they want to believe.Why don't they just leave?Afterall they are really Protestants at heart.It is because of Protestants and they're own confusion that we have abortion,contraception,euthanasia,and "gay"marriage.None of these things would be approved of by God..yet sinful man wants to appease himself and make himself comfortable in his sin.By doing so..they reject the discomfort of the cross..they refuse to carry their cross.They follow Judas..not Jesus.Their cry is that of Satans..I will not serve.Instead of being obediant to the church,trusting in God,and staying humble..as Mary did..they are the opposites and so they are blinded by their own malice and hatred for Gods plan.I hope Mr Kung as well as all so-called liberal Catholics will truly learn their faith..start with the example of Our Blessed Lady and Our Queen..she is the prime example of obediance,trust,and humility..Mr.Kung is no better than the likes of Luther and all others who set themselves up against God for their own comfort and gain.It seems for all his theological knowledge..he does'nt really know anything about the Catholic faith.

The neck -tie tells all. this is a catholic priest. How would anyone know. He is 85 yrs old usually when someone is losing their soul they seem to live a longer life , our lord hoping that he will come to his scenes. He is a clone off Judas. You follow him Frank you will follow him right to hell.

This was an unfair and cruel article. Hans Kung has helped many of us find a relevant and useful faith, hope and love without having to blindly follow any particular outdated religion.

Hans Kung may be 85yrs old. but he is still living in the siixties when we had one 'expert saying one thing and had ten others saying the opposite'. Kung has nothing new to say, except what the Media want to hear.. I say, " Hans the Media is not going to save you., so grow up while you still have time to make peace with your Lord".

The problem with people like Kung is that they believe the Catholic Church should be more like the Protestants, rather than the reverse. They and many other public figures who continuously give scandal to the Catholic name insist upon acting thinking and behaving like a bunch of disparate argumentative Prots who cannot even agree on who was Jesus of Nazareth over a cup of morning coffee. What they never learned, or accepted if learned, is that discussion is fine but to be Catholic is to ultimately accept the magisterium authority of the Church regarding faith and morals. If you cannot accept it you have the moral duty to leave. Something Kung and others have never quite gotten around to doing. A pity.

Burger Stand lands on another nationwide 'best burger' list
Lawrence isn't one of the 21 big cities the website Thrillist usually writes about, but somebody on their staff has been here — and been very impressed with one of our burgers.
The Burger Stand's "Hamburg Burger" (which I'm pretty sure is one of their inventive specials, but not on the regular daily menu) made Thrillist's list of "the 33 best burgers in the entire country," published this week. Here's what they said:
Originally started in the kitchen of an Irish pub in 2009, the burger stand has reached cult status in and around the college town thanks to their custom blend of tenderloin, strip steak, and ribeye; their housemade sauces (cherry pepper or chipotle cocoa ketchup, whole grain guinness mustard); and their duck fat fries. If you're feeling bold (and hell, you're in Kansas, why wouldn't you be?!?), get the Hamburg burger -- a German take with braised red cabbage, whole grain mustard, and homemade pickle relish.
Check out the Hamburg and the other 32 burgers — and find a printable PDF checklist if you have a wild hair to travel around the country and try them all — here. Burger Stand has been voted Lawrence's best burger three years running, and also got a shout out on Zagat's "best burgers in 25 cities" list earlier this year.
Tips welcome!

JÃzda ve Å kodÄ Fabia S2000 s Pavlem ValouÅ¡kem ... 9.10.2010 v BÄlé pod BezdÄzem. Spolujezdec Jaroslav Zeman ;)
Best of Crash Rallye HD - Compilation 2013 Rally Crashes happened in 2012 and 2013 . Car accidents because of drifts . The production-based cars with 1.6 L direct injection turbo engine and four-wheel drive are built to World Rally Car regulations for racing across tarmac, gravel and snow. The power output is limited to around 300 bhp (225 kW). Current cars in the championship include the Citroën DS3 WRC, Ford Fiesta RS WRC and Mini WRC. The WRC was formerly held for Group A and Group B rallycars. However, due to the increasing power, lack of reliability and a series of fatal accidents on the 1986 season, Group B was permanently banned. Later, in 1997, the Group A cars evolved into the WRC car spec, to ease the development of new cars and bring new makes to the competition. In 2011, new rules were introduced to encourage more manufacturers (and privateers) to take part, because the recent economic downturn had prompted several manufacturers to leave the championship. Cars in the Production Car World Rally Championship are limited to production-based cars homologated under Group N rules. Cars in the Super 2000 World Rally Championship are homologated under Super 2000 rules. Most cars in the Junior World Rally Championship are homologated under Super 1600 rules, but Group N and selected Group A cars can also contest the series. Starting in 2013,a new category of rally cars known as Group R were introdued as a replacement to the Group A and Group N rally categories, with cars classified under one of six categories based on their engine capacity and type, wheelbase, and drivetrain. As a result no cars will be homologated under Group A and Group N regulations and instead will be reclassified under Group R. Parallel to this, the Super 2000 and Production Car World Championships were restructured; Super 2000 and Group N cars were merged into a single championship known as World Rally Championship-2 alongside R4 and R5 cars, whilst the Production Car World Championship was completely reimagined as the World Rally Championship-3 for two-wheel drive cars complying with R1, R2 and R3 regulations. WRC Teams and Drivers 20 different manufacturers have won a World Rally Championship event,[6] and a further ten have finished on the podium.[7] Suzuki and Subaru pulled out of the WRC at the end of the 2008 championship, both citing the economic downturn then affecting the automotive industry for their withdrawal. Mini and Ford both pulled out of the WRC at the end of the 2012 championship, due to a similar economic downturn affecting the European market. A typical WRC team will consist of about 40 people on the events, with a further 60--100 at the team base.[8] Manufacturers and manufacturer-backed teams usually have two or three drivers participating in each rally who are eligible to score points. The total number of crews (driver and his co-driver) in the rallies varied from 47 (Monte Carlo and Mexico) to 108 (Great Britain) during the 2007 season.[9] In 2012, The Ford World Rally Team and The Mini WRC Team both announced their departure from the World Rally Championships for the 2013 season. Volkswagen and Hyundai will make their return to the championship in 2013 and 2014, respectively.Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD Best of Crash Rallye HD crashes from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Italy, England and France with pure engine sounds and the "oiioiioii oyoyoy" guy :D .

I'm kind of a professional student, so being back at UM to work has been a great opportunity for me. I spent a little over 10 years working in IT as a computer tech and with a company installing restaurant point-of-sale, video surveillance and liquor control. I've been back in the department since April, 2007. I started taking programming classes shortly thereafter and have found that I really enjoy it. I'm very excited to be teaching some basic Python programming in our labs, as I am convinced it is a skill that everyone will need to some extent in their academic and professional careers.

FeaturedCommentsVery, VERY nice gallery. I'm just sayin', if you did commissions, I think you'd make a killing! Hell, I'd be a contributor.
Thanks, appreciate it. And truthfully I can't make a dime on commissions with the amount of time a piece of art takes to create. Who's got a hundred bucks for a pinup? People want stuff for $10 bucks, and I can't create anything for that small an amount.
But thanks for the optimism |

Reclaim NYC: Design Auction for Sandy Relief
Reclaim NYC
Reclaim NYC invites you to its second exhibit and charity sale, Reclaim x2: design that's more than the sum of its parts, during New York Design Week 2013.
As the city works to recover from Hurricane Sandy, Reclaim NYC would like to reach out to the design community with an opportunity to help those who have suffered terrible losses during the storm. They are calling upon designers to use debris and refuse materials from the storm to create pieces of furniture and art that will be auctioned for charity.
Proceeds from the sale will go to local Hurricane Sandy relief through the Brooklyn Recovery Fund.rsvp: firstname.lastname@example.com
Designer Focus: Brad Ascalon
As commissions for new furniture and lighting roll in, third-generation designer Brad Ascalon carries on the family tradition.Discover Brad Ascalon's Heritage as a Third-Generation Designer!
Join Senior Editor Kelsey Keith for a conversation with designer Brad Ascalon, who will touch on his family's design legacy and how his position as a third-generation designer has informed his aesthetic sensibilities. Ascalon, featured in Dwell's October 2013 issue, will share archival images of his grandfather and father's decorative work alongside his own recent furnishings for such companies as Stylex, Juniper, Gaia & Gino, NWBLK, Ligne Roset and Design Within Reach. Followed by refreshments.
*Space is limited
RSVP here to Dwell Meetup
The original Mirror Puzzle was a not-so-standard jigsaw—Wong substituted reflective pieces for standard printed cardboard. Ascalon's black-and-brass stained glass evolves the thoughtful concept.

senior class valedictorian, Samuel Miller, is the only student on the East End to achieve Intel Science Talent Search semi-finalist standing this year.
Miller, who lives in Noyac, is one of 300 semi-finalists in the United States out of 1,744 applicants.
He submitted a research project that isolated a compound that could lead to the development of an antibiotic drug that can fight off multiple-drug resistant infections. This type of research is importnant because multiple-drug resistant infections are an increasing problem in today's society, and Miller said, "This could lead to new drugs fighting off resistant bacteria."
Part of the reason the compound is unique is because it is the first example of its class that came from a sooty mold, he said.
The project was an accumulation of about eight months worth of research, during and after his participation in Robert Schumacher's science research class. Miller said, "I like the idea of helping out using medicine."
The competition encourages high schools to submit their science research projects to receive scholarship awards, with the grand-prize winner receiving a $100,000 four-year scholarship. According to the Intel Talent Search website, it is "the nation's most prestigious pre-college science competition."
Pierson has had a semi-finalist every year for the past seven years from Schumacher's science research class. Schumacher, who has a doctorate in Organic Chemistry, attributed the success to the students' talents. "We have really great kids and we basically show them the process," which gets them interested and they go from there, he said.
He said he has also been lucky enough to have equipment donated from a pharmaceutical company, which gives his students a leg-up when researching. His brother, Richard Schumacher, also is a teacher at Pierson and he had the equipment donated from a pharmaceutical company where he was previously employed.
Schumacher said that it gives students the ability to compete against the bigger high schools that have the larger facilities and better access to research equipment.
As for Miller, he doesn't only have his hand in the science research world. As Pierson's senior class valedictorian he is on his way to Cornell University and aims to study computer science. He is on the school's basketball team and is involved in a robotics competition each year.
"Sam is one of the most well-rounded kids I've ever spoken to. He has it all," Schumacher said.

Patricia TannisInsane(ly smart)Voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard.A socially mal-adjusted archeologist sent to Pandora by the Dahl corporation to investigate the alien ruins.

Operator: 'Does your monitor have a power indicator??' Caller: 'What's a monitor?' Operator: 'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?' Caller: 'I don't know.' Operator: 'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??' Caller: 'Yes, I think so.' Opera tor: 'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.. Caller: 'Yes, it is.'

Caller: 'Well, it's not because I don't have the right angle -- it's because it's dark.' Operator: 'Dark?' Caller: 'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.' Caller: 'I can't.' Operator: 'No? Why not?'

Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff that your computer came in?' Caller: 'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet..' Operator: 'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.' Caller: 'Really? Is it that bad?' Operator: 'Yes, I'm afraid it is.' Caller: 'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?' Operator: 'Tell them you're too stupid to own a computer!'

Women engineers seek a sense of belonging
Professional woman can relate
I was heartened to read in Dianne Chong's opinion piece that she can "appreciate the relevance" of outward appearance for professional women. ["Guest column: The most common question from young women engineers? What to wear," Opinion, Sept. 8.]
The way "fitting in" and "belonging" are presented by young women can easily be dismissed. However, any question is an entry into a deeper discussion.
We often have the opportunity to "accompany" young people around us. It is up to us to keep the door open when a question such as what to wear is posed.
One of the gifts my father gave me was to ask me consistently, "Do you own the company yet?" By asking this simple question through my 20s, 30s and 40s, he helped me to visualize what I could be.
Now, as a 50-year-old leader, my visibility and outreach to women is taking several forms. I sit on committees in local community colleges; I speak at job fairs with state agencies and community colleges; I sit on my local soroptimist international board, where we support the education of local women and girls.
I am staying open, saying "yes" and "leaning in." And I am still looking for that accompaniment from those that have gone before me.

Burlington Industries awarded $5.3M Air Force contract

Burlington Industries LLC, a division of International Textile Group, has won a $5.3 million contract to supply fabric to the U.S. Air Force for use in physical training shorts.
The Air Force deal adds to Burlington Industries' extensive list of military awards.
The company, which has been awarded seven military contracts this year totaling more than $236 million, announced in June it had been awarded two contracts totaling up to $160 million by the Defense Logistics Agency to supply wool blend fabrics for use in U.S. Army dress uniforms.
Burlington Industries officials said the micro denier polyester fabrics used in the Air Force shorts will be produced at Burlington Industries facilities in Burlngton and Cordova, N.C.
The products, which utilize moisture-wicking Sorbtek fiber technology made by Greensboro-based yarn maker Unifi Inc. (NYSE: UFI), are 35 percent lighter than the current fabrics used for PT shorts and have improved breathability and better moisture management, according to Burlington.

It all comes back to the point, if you see someone suspicious in your neighborhood, call the police, keep your distance and if in your vehicle, stay in it. BTW that is advice from a guy who is a vet and a neighborhood watch captain.
His advice,
Keep your distance
Stay in your house or vehicle.
Call police, and follow their instructions.
Do not approach the suspicious person.
Do not carry a gun.
Why? You don't know how dangerous the person could be, you don't know if he could have friends hiding, and if he hides, you leave yourself open to be attacked, you don't know if he has a weapon (gun, knife, bat ETC). If you are too close, he could shoot at you, or if you are out in the open, he could attack you.
If you are following a suspicious person and he doesn't want to be followed, he could attack you, if he sees you have a gun, that makes you more of a threat to him, and may attack you, take your gun and use it on you.
You maybe a watch person, but you are not a trained officer, you are not in a uniform, in the past suspects have taken officers (who are better trained to handle dangerous people) guns away and used it on the officer.
If it comes down to you have to defend yourself then do it, if you cant get away, but try not to put yourself in that situation.
Be smart, stay alive, don't put yourself in danger.
