Few visitors to the Zoo would skip a visit to see this fascinating group. Their home is the award-winning Trail of the Elephants, which allows the elephants considerable scope to roam and forage: it is estimated they travel as far (or further) than elephants living in natural non-extreme environments (6.21–15.00km/day vs. 5–10 km/day).
The Asian Elephant was once widespread throughout Asia. However, loss of habitat and poaching has forced remaining populations into heavily forested, inaccessible regions in south and South-East Asia. Countries in which the Asian Elephant may be found include Sri Lanka, Laos, Thailand, Burma, China, Malaysia, India, Indonesia (on the island of Sumatra) and Cambodia. There may be fewer than 53,000 animals remaining throughout Asia and the wild population is decreasing.
Three pregnancies have been achieved since Melbourne Zoo established the Cooperative Conservation Breeding Program upon the arrival of three young elephant cows from Thailand in November 2006. The aim of the breeding program is to create an insurance population of this endangered species. Melbourne Zoo is proud to be the home of the first female elephant born on our shores and the first elephant conceived through artificial insemination.
In the wild the Asian Elephant eats leaves, flowers, fruits, shrubs, grasses and roots. An adult elephant may eat up to 170kg of food, drink 90L of water, and produce up to 75kg of faeces per day. Herds of Asian Elephants occasionally feed on fruit trees growing on plantations bordering the forests, causing thousands of dollars of damage. To prevent this, guards patrol the boundaries of farms and use spotlights and fire crackers to scare the elephants away.
At Melbourne Zoo their diet includes carrots, apples, bread, bamboo, hay, lucerne and leaves.
Together we can improve animal care, reduce threatening processes and save endangered species.

Welspun to invest Rs 1,000 cr to hike yarn, cotton production
Feb 17 2013 , New Delhi
The Mumbai-based firm, which exports over 90 per cent of its production, has also set a target to achieve a turnover of $1 billion in the next four years from $650 million at present.
"We are investing in vertical integration. In the next fiscal (2013-14), we plan to invest Rs 700 crore to Rs 1,000 crore on spinning and weaving equipment at our facilities," Welspun India Managing Director Rajesh Mandawewala told PTI.
He added that the company would expand its existing facilities at Vapi and Anjar by adding more weaving and spinning machines.
"We currently get around 40 per cent of our total requirement of yarn and fabric from our facilities. After expansion, it will go up to 75 per cent," Mandawewala said.
The company currently produces 44,000 metric tonnes of towels, 45 million meters of bed linen and 10,151 metric tonnes of rugs per annum.
On the company's future revenue target, Mandawewala said: "We have set a goal of achieving $1 billion over the next four years from the current $650 million."
The company expects to achieve the target as both its international and domestic markets continue to do well, he added.
Around 60-65 per cent of the company's revenues come from the US market. It is expecting to grow in various other territories as well, including Brazil, Canada and China.
"..If Free Trade Agreement (FTA) comes through with Europe, then we expect this market to become as big as the US. There is huge potential for growth for us (in Europe)," Mandawewala said.
Europe contributed around 14 per cent to the company's total revenues in 2012. "In 2013, we expect it to rise to 20 per cent," Mandawewala added.
Commenting on the domestic operations, he said the entry of multinational retailers in India through the opening up of FDI would also help in pushing up sales.
Welspun India produces home textiles including bed linen, basic bedding, decorative bedding terry towels, rugs and bathrobes. It has two manufacturing facilities at Vapi and Anjar in Gujarat.

Mario Draghi Press Conference - Live Webcast
The all important ECB press conference is set to begin momentarily. Will Draghi answer questions regarding the readiness of the OMT's use in Portugal whose short end has exploded this morning, or will he be forced to wait for the German court's decision first? Or maybe Draghi will finally have some comments on either the ongoing Monte Paschi scandal or the recently revealed Italian derivative debacle which took place under Draghi's watch. We somehow doubt it...
Most importantly, the ECB is also considering forward guidance, just like the BOE, and as was somewhat expected. Not that it will do or change much if anything...
Draghi's full prepared remarks. Note the "extended" language appearing for the first time ever.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Vice-President and I are very pleased to welcome you to our press conference. We will now report on the outcome of today's meeting of the Governing Council, which was also attended by the Commission Vice-President, Mr. Rehn.
Based on our regular economic and monetary analyses, we decided to keep the key ECB interest rates unchanged. Incoming information has confirmed our previous assessment. Underlying price pressures in the euro area are expected to remain subdued over the medium term. In keeping with this picture, monetary and, in particular, credit dynamics remain subdued. Inflation expectations for the euro area continue to be firmly anchored in line with our aim of maintaining inflation rates below, but close to, 2% over the medium term. At the same time, recent confidence indicators based on survey data have shown some further improvement from low levels. Our monetary policy stance is geared towards maintaining the degree of monetary accommodation warranted by the outlook for price stability and promoting stable money market conditions. It thereby provides support to a recovery in economic activity later in the year and in 2014. Looking ahead, our monetary policy stance will remain accommodative for as long as necessary. The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at present or lower levels for an extended period of time. This expectation is based on the overall subdued outlook for inflation extending into the medium term, given the broad-based weakness in the real economy and subdued monetary dynamics. In the period ahead, we will monitor all incoming information on economic and monetary developments and assess any impact on the outlook for price stability.
Let me now explain our assessment in greater detail, starting with the economic analysis. Real GDP declined by 0.3% in the first quarter of 2013, following a contraction of 0.6% in the last quarter of 2012. At the same time, labour market conditions remain weak. Recent developments in cyclical indicators, particularly those based on survey data, indicate some further improvement from low levels. Looking ahead to later in the year and to 2014, euro area export growth should benefit from a gradual recovery in global demand, while domestic demand should be supported by the accommodative monetary policy stance as well as the recent gains in real income owing to generally lower inflation. Furthermore, notwithstanding recent developments, the overall improvements in financial markets seen since last summer should work their way through to the real economy, as should the progress made in fiscal consolidation. This being said, the remaining necessary balance sheet adjustments in the public and private sectors will continue to weigh on economic activity. Overall, euro area economic activity should stabilise and recover in the course of the year, albeit at a subdued pace.
The risks surrounding the economic outlook for the euro area continue to be on the downside. The recent tightening of global money and financial market conditions and related uncertainties may have the potential to negatively affect economic conditions. Other downside risks include the possibility of weaker than expected domestic and global demand and slow or insufficient implementation of structural reforms in euro area countries.
As stated in previous months, annual inflation rates are expected to be subject to some volatility throughout the year owing particularly to base effects. According to Eurostat's flash estimate, euro area annual HICP inflation was 1.6% in June 2013, up from 1.4% in May. This increase reflected an upward base effect relating to energy price developments twelve months earlier. However, underlying price pressures are expected to remain subdued over the medium term, reflecting the broad-based weakness in aggregate demand and the modest pace of the recovery. Medium-term inflation expectations remain firmly anchored in line with price stability.
The risks to the outlook for price developments are expected to be still broadly balanced over the medium term, with upside risks relating to stronger than expected increases in administered prices and indirect taxes, as well as higher commodity prices, and downside risks stemming from weaker than expected economic activity.
Turning to the monetary analysis, recent data confirm the subdued monetary and, in particular, credit dynamics. Annual growth in broad money (M3) decreased in May to 2.9%, from 3.2% in April. Moreover, annual growth in M1 decreased to 8.4% in May, from 8.7% in April. The annual rate of change of loans to the private sector remained negative. While the annual growth rate of loans to households (adjusted for loan sales and securitisation) remained at 0.3% in May, broadly unchanged since the turn of the year, the annual rate of change of loans to non-financial corporations (adjusted for loan sales and securitisation) weakened further to -2.1% in May, from -1.9% in April. As in April, strong monthly net redemptions in May were concentrated in short-term loans, possibly reflecting reduced demand for working capital against the background of weak order books in early spring. More generally, weak loan dynamics continue to reflect primarily the current stage of the business cycle, heightened credit risk and the ongoing adjustment of financial and non-financial sector balance sheets.
Since the summer of 2012 substantial progress has been made in improving the funding situation of banks and, in particular, in strengthening the domestic deposit base in a number of stressed countries. This has contributed to reducing reliance on Eurosystem funding, as reflected in the ongoing repayments of the three-year longer-term refinancing operations (LTROs). In order to ensure an adequate transmission of monetary policy to the financing conditions in euro area countries, it is essential that the fragmentation of euro area credit markets continues to decline further and that the resilience of banks is strengthened where needed. Further decisive steps for establishing a Banking Union will help to accomplish this objective. In particular, the future Single Supervisory Mechanism and a Single Resolution Mechanism are crucial elements for moving towards re-integrating the banking system and therefore require swift implementation.
To sum up, the economic analysis indicates that price developments should remain in line with price stability over the medium term. A cross-check with the signals from the monetary analysis confirms this picture.
With regard to other economic policies, the Governing Council notes the initiatives taken by the European Council of 27-28 June 2013 in the areas of youth unemployment, investment and financing of small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as the European Council's endorsement of the country-specific recommendations of the 2013 European semester. The Governing Council stresses that implementation of these recommendations is essential to contribute to a sustainable recovery in the euro area. Moreover, the new European governance framework for fiscal and economic policies should be applied in a steadfast manner and much more determined efforts should be pursued to carry forward structural reforms to foster growth and employment. In this respect, the Governing Council deems it particularly important to target competitiveness and adjustment capacities in labour and product markets. Finally, the Governing Council welcomes the setting-out of a number of steps towards the completion of the Banking Union as moves in the right direction, but also urges that they be implemented swiftly.

Casus Belli, for fucks sake
It's an illusion of good brought about as a propaganda effort in an attempt to make people think the markets are forecasting anything but economic malaise.
Like masking a serious infection by gobbling grams of liver-torturing ibuprofen instead of seeking medical care.
I feel grea---ow.
This is becoming hilarious, almost like listening to obama now. The markets might pop a little, but there's no commitment behind it. Short at will.
horseshit: yes
casus belli? everyone's on holliday?
BARROSO says he has "work groups" that work in parallel to tackle the issue of NSA spying on european citizens.
In a few more words, he informs us, that he's given souverignity to a trading partner (the USA gov) in this TTIP "free trade agreement.
Just like the TTP it's a method to allow outside forces "right" of making descisions. Both the European Commission and Barroso are unelected civil servants. They are acting without even consulting the european population (nor the americans).
I think this is the moment these people want to assert dominance.
context: Barroso meets Draghi who assures him everything is peachy in Italian banking and finance (28th feb 2013)
With apologies to my rodent friends...
Euro is imploding
monster short squeeze setting up for US stocks tomorrow when the (already disseminated to the elite) jobs news hits a very thin market already juiced by Draghi and Carney - guess we know why stocks ramped late morning into the close yesterday, the fix was in, as always
it might seem so for a Low Level Non Elite Person (LLNEP in short) like you...
They've started early with this mornings vapor ramp +13 handles!
Funny thing is, he forgot to mention Greece. Gee, I wonder why:
Greece Fails to Reach Agreement with Troika Representatives on Reforms (Again)
Oh yeah, he forgot to mention Cyprus also!
Meanwhile in Northern Cyprus-Turkey Increases Troop Levels by 7,000
Careful now. The Talmud bashers might give you a down arrow.
Draahaghi, a totally untrustwirthy corksacker. (a corsacher is a guy that worked at Coca Cola in the 50's putting corks in coke bottles. he had a sack around his waist with corks and would hammer corks into the filled bottle, hence the term corksacker) all you guys didn't know what a corksacker was? Old school stuff..66 out
Draghi you know what to do: time to come out with the bad news.
Draghi: "Well really what happened in the last month was..."
Here it comes.
Draghi: "Sputter...flub...cough...defer...circle around...apologise...finger point...apologise...sputter...next question."
He is a master at recycling oxygen and making noise with no meaning.
it's my imagination, or this man say always the same things in every conference? bla bla bla
99% of the people have a attention span of 2 seconds and a goldfish memory of 3 seconds... so whatever he says is news.
When one of the criminals speak it's time for honest money, gold and silver, the enemy of these criminals to be naked short sold into oblivion.
With many words, this banking creature never answers a question.
Draghi doesnt need to comment. The Fed gave GS a waiver at 5.30pm in the tradition of Indpendence day. Comments on derviatives and swaps will have to wait 2 more years...
Jesus Herman Fucking Christ!
Please dear God, make it stop already!
Has Satan truly won?
What the hell, just bring on the apocalypse, Nibru, the Last Coming, End of Days, surveillance state and incompetents everywhere, Money Changers Regaining the Temple....
oh wait....
Don't ask for what I really don't want because I just might get it good and hard, mommy told me?
4th of july some how rings hollow, a shell, but all our pols will speak how great our freedom ..while DHS and .gov goons frisk and fondle the crowd, glower at us with bullet proof vests and fully auto rifles..for us common people of the world- this is our freedom, enjoy. the rulers will make a mistake, here in the USA. watch for random acts aginst authority, not in the MSM, but in media. The Military is watching Egypt like we all are. do you feel the rush of history as I do?
There's that stinkin' thinkin' on display.
Print a Trillion, be a stud, Like the Berstinky; print a trillion, you wuss.
France is counting on you, Portugal, Greece? F em. Fuggettabout it.
Don't stare directly into his eyes
Does he turn to stone when he looks in the mirror?
While I can't blame you for mistaking the EZ for a Medusa, I believe he merely fails to cast a shadow and the averting of eyes is to avoid being hypnotized into ill-advised bond purchases.
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Wait a minute, aren't improvements in the economy suppose to reach the financial markets?
You mean to say that he plucks the figures out of his arse as well?????????
Like his brethren in Ireland too?????????......Well I would never.....................
"I dont care about the udders". Me neither Mr Draghi, im more of a leg man.
Ask him if Amanda Knox will be retried .... before Captain Francesco "boat jumper" Shettino .... goes to trial ? Just askin' ?
Finally, we don't need to wait for the German court. The OMT is designed for jawboning Euro area tailrisk and we don't need to add anything, because it was all covered already.
He came out and said the OMT term sheet will only appear when someone applies for OMT, which is not what was said previously, and makes it look like OMT is and always was DOA and is nothing more than smoke and mirrors.
Just like they have in the USA and Japan?
I've kind of given up on this. No matter how shitty the economy gets, these f***ers will just go out in the media and say what the market wants to hear. Regardless of the real situation. What does it matter if the unemployment is at 10% or 50%. All they can do is say: more funny money to the banks, and then these banks put all the money they get into the stockmarket and drive the prices even further up. This can last for years! It has already lasted for 4-5 years. I am sure they will be able to push this another 5 if they really want to.

BLUEFIELD, Va. (AP) — Bluefield College has announced that plans for a dental school have been put on hold because of uncertain funding.
The project was a joint venture of the college and Tazewell County, but county officials recently suspended funding and terminated the agreement. Bluefield College President David Olive says it isn't practical for the college to move forward on its own at this time.
The college hopes to receive a $19.2 million grant from the Virginia Tobacco Indemnification and Community Revitalization Commission to resume the project. The commission will meet in September.
The college and the county announced plans in September 2012 to establish a school for dental students primarily from southwest Virginia, southern Virginia and Central Appalachia.

Cypriot leaders hold UN-sponsored talks on reunification; meet again on Friday

|UN News Service, Cypriot leaders hold UN-sponsored talks on reunification; meet again on Friday, 28 February 2011, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4d6c934c2c.html [accessed 30 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot leaders today held the first of two top-level meetings scheduled for this week, under United Nations sponsorship, as they intensified their efforts to reunify the Mediterranean island which has been split for almost 50 years.
"The leaders had a good and long discussion today for around two and a half hours," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's Special Adviser on Cyprus, Alexander Downer, told reporters following the meeting between Greek Cypriot leader Dimitris Christofias and his Turkish Cypriot counterpart, Dervis Eroglu. "It was a good opportunity for them to talk about a range of issues."
Mr. Downer added that the pair would meet again on Friday, when the talks would focus on governance and power-sharing.
The leaders have met more than 90 times since the UN-sponsored talks began in 2008 with the aim of setting up a federal government with a single international personality in a bi-zonal, bi-communal country, with Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot constituent states of equal status.
The leaders' representatives have also met scores of times and will hold another meeting on Wednesday to discuss issues ahead of Friday's top-level talks.
In a report in December, Mr. Ban warned that that the talks could "founder fatally" if substantive agreement is not reached within the next few months. "A critical window of opportunity is rapidly closing," he said, stressing that Greek Cypriot parliamentary elections scheduled for May and elections in Turkey in June militate against constructive talks in the second quarter of 2011.
The Secretary-General met with both leaders in Geneva at the end of January, and the two agreed to intensify the reunification talks for an island that has been split since inter-communal violence erupted in 1964.
One of the major issues that have to be resolved concerns property. The Greek Cypriots say those with property in the north should be able to seek reinstatement, while Turkish Cypriots say that if all property owners were allowed reinstatement, it would be impossible for Turkish Cypriots to secure bizonality. They want a ceiling on those who can have properties reinstated instead of compensation.
The UN has maintained a peacekeeping force on the island - known by its acronym UNFICYP - since 1964, with a current strength of nearly 1,000 uniformed personnel and 150 international and national civilian staff.

That's because many participating Dairy Queens throughout the country like the two in Jacksonville -- took part in Miracle Treat Day, where all proceeds from blizzards purchased -- go to the Children's Miracle Network. The money will be used to treat sick and injured children in the united states.
Last year four million dollars was raised during Miracle Treat Day.

Six people - including two children - were injured early this morning in a SEPTA bus crash, officials said.
The Route 42 bus collided with a pickup truck at the intersection of 62nd and Spuce streets inWest Philadelphia, according to SEPTA Spokeswoman Heather Redfern.
Allegedly the truck ran a red light and hit the bus as it was heading Eastbound, Redfern said.
Five bus passengers were injured, including two children under the age of three. The truck driver also suffered minor injuries. None of the injuries are life-threatening, Redfern said.

Current Perspective: Threatening
Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus 7.1 is threatening to competitors because the enterprise suite offers robust security coverage at all points of entry into the enterprise and comes with an extremely aggressive price. CAs cutthroat pricing structure is a deliberate attempt to steal away market share from higher profile AV players Symantec, McAfee, and Trend Micro. CA, like other security vendors, has realized there is a lucrative business in the mid-market space. The company, which has traditionally focused on the high-dollar space, is now moving down market and is using the low pricing structure to gain the attention of customers. This is because customers are typically content to stay with the same security vendor for years. eTrust Antivirus includes a unique dual scanning engine, to promote multi-layered protection, and broad OS support, including Linux. CAs low pricing campaign also includes lifetime signature support for free. CA has cultivated strong channel partnerships with leading systems integrators and sells this suite 100% indirect.
Strengths & Weaknesses
November 10, 2005
Product Class:
Enterprise AntiVirus in Information Security - U.S.
eTrust Antivirus uses two scanning engines within the suite which is supported by two separate research divisions. This appeals to customers looking for layered protection. eTrust Antivirus is aggressively priced, undercutting the competition significantly. The pricing strategy is CAs attempt to displace competitors, and is a good way to be considered in the customers buying process. CA offers lifetime access to signature updates without having to update software licensing. CA provides a broad range of operating system support in this product, including Linux.
CA is a name with less notability at the desktop than its competitors. As the glue that holds this suite together, CAs centralized management product, eTrust Security Command Center, is not as well known as other popular consoles such as McAfees ePolicy Orchestrator. Usability of eTrust is not straightforward and fine-tuning of the product before deployment is time-consuming. The user interface, while simple to learn, is said to be cumbersome to use on occasion. eTrust does not include anti-spam technology in this suite.
Product Assessment: Computer Associates eTrust Antivirus v 7.1
Buying Criteria
Scanning and Outbreak Containment
eTrust Antivirus provides anti-virus protection for the gateway, groupware server, and desktop in a single suite. The software provides scanning at the gateway for HTTP, FTP, POP3, and SMTP, and groupware tools to remove viruses and other malicious code from e-mail, attachments, and public folders. eTrust includes two scanning engines developed by two different groups within the company for double the virus protection redundancy. Company officials claim 100% detection of in-thewild viruses. eTrust provides incremental signature updates, and includes a redundant signature distribution system so anti-virus clients are rerouted to the next available signature server when a signature distribution server is down. Like most competing offerings, eTrust does not include anti-spam technology. Customers may purchase an add-on product, called Secure Content Manager, CAs own technology, which guards against spam and other unsolicited e-mail.
Management Features
CA provides central, policy-based management through its console called eTrust Security Command Center. The console is simple to learn, but can be cumbersome to use, requiring extra drag and dropping, and pointing and clicking during policy updates. The eTrust console was recently enhanced to centrally manage heterogeneous enterprise environments. Security Command Center supports correlation and event management and links to third-party anti-virus solutions, intrusion detection systems, and firewalls. eTrust provides outbreak containment capabilities, which deploy policy-control templates to each product within the suite, defusing an attack based on the characteristics of the virus before a signature is defined. When a new virus surfaces, the management console automatically collects a set of policy-control templates from the vendor support site. eTrust provides solid reporting capabilities through an integrated reporting engine. The suite offers 60 different report types, including one that details policy compliance by listing the systems that have eTrust installed and which engine and signature versions are running on each system.
eTrust is simple to set-up and configure, but fine-tuning of the product before deployment requires a considerable amount of manpower hours. eTrust provides support for a broad range of operating systems including Windows and Linux environments. Symantec and McAfee do not yet support the Linux platform. In the future, CA says it plans to support Linux client technology that includes real-time and scheduled scanning technologies. eTrust is priced very low, a strategic move by the company in its attempt to displace competitors and become a stronger player at the desktop. eTrust is priced at $25 per seat for 250 to 749 nodes, and $15 per seat for 750 or more nodes.
Competitive response Product Assessment:
Vendor Support
Computer Associates Computer Associates provides 24/7 support from its rapid response team called TARGET eTrust Antivirus v 7.1 (Threat Analysis and Response Global Emergency Team), which includes worldwide response
centers that research and respond to threats.
CA maintains two separate research teams, which operate independently to support eTrusts two scanning engines. One is based in the U.S. and the other is based in Israel. eTrust offers free lifetime signature updates, regardless of maintenance contract status. However, while customers are facing increases in annual support costs, this is a minor selling point to enterprise customers looking to stay current on product upgrades and have access to vendor support. CA customers have wider service and integration support through the companys strong channel partners. CAs distribution model includes 100% of the eTrust product being sold indirect.

Vendor Back-end Response
The process of updating virus definitions on workstations protected by Deep Freeze Enterprise involves three fundamental steps: 1. 2. 3. Rebooting the workstations into a Thawed state so the updates are kept upon restart Updating the virus definitions Shutting down or restarting the workstation into a Frozen state
This white paper provides technical information on how to approach these steps with CAs eTrust Antivirus. Deep Freeze is not marketed as an antivirus product. However, Deep Freeze will protect workstations from any virus. Just restart the Frozen workstation and the virus is gone. Many viruses require a fundamental change to be made to the core files and only become active on restart. With Deep Freeze installed and activated, these viruses will be deleted upon restart and therefore never become active. Ensure the BIOS is set to boot directly to the C: drive and that the BIOS is protected with a password; failure to do so can result in boot sector viruses being transferred to the hard disk drives via infected floppy disks. Setting the Workstations to a Thawed state In order to make any permanent changes, the workstations protected by Deep Freeze have to be set into a Thawed state. Those permanent changes include antivirus updates; therefore, the workstations must be rebooted into a Thawed state before applying these updates. There are three ways to remotely set workstations into a Thawed state: By manually using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console By setting up an Scheduled Maintenance Period By using the Command Line Control
Manually Using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console The Enterprise Console contains a toolbar at the top of the screen that allows quick access to the functions of the Console.
Thaw Workstation
To boot a workstation into the Thawed state, select the workstation and click the Thaw Workstation icon on the toolbar. Alternatively, right-click and select the Set Computer(s) to Thaw option in the context menu.
Click OK in the confirmation window. The selected workstations now restart in the Thawed state.
Setting up a Scheduled Maintenance Period There are two ways to set up a Scheduled Maintenance Period. One is to set it up when configuring the Deep Freeze Enterprise installation files with the Configuration Administrator (best method for new deployments) and the other way is to create or update the Maintenance Period using the Enterprise Console. Assuming you have already deployed Deep Freeze throughout your network, the following instructions elaborate on how to create/update the Maintenance Period with the Enterprise Console. 1. 2. Open the Enterprise Console. Select any workstation and right-click on it. Select Update Maintenance Period.
A toolbar appears at the bottom of the screen.
Click New. The Configuration Screen appears as shown. It only contains the Restart/Shutdown, Maintenance and Advanced Maintenance options.
4. Click on the Maintenance tab and place a check in the Enable Thawed Maintenance Schedule check box. Also place a check beside each day you want the Maintenance Schedule to run. 5. Set the Maintenance start time for each day in the Start Time column, and the end time in the Stop Time column. 6. It is recommended that the Disable keys option is checked so the keyboard and mouse are disabled while the workstations are in the Thawed state. It is also important to check the Shutdown box so Deep Freeze shuts the workstations down at the end of the Maintenance Period. Otherwise the workstations are restarted after the Maintenance Period is complete. 7. Close the Configuration Screen. A pop-up message appears, requesting the administrator to select the workstations to send the new configuration to. 8. Select the workstations to be updated and click Send. This action updates all the selected workstations configuration on the fly. This means the workstations dont have to be in the Thawed state for the configuration updates to take place. Controlling Deep Freeze Through the Command Line Control - DFC The Deep Freeze Command Line Control (DFC) offers network administrators increased flexibility in managing Deep Freeze workstations. DFC works in combination with third-party enterprise management tools and/or central management solutions. This combination allows administrators to update workstations on the fly and on demand. It is important to note that DFC is not a stand-alone application. DFC integrates seamlessly with any solution that can run script files, including standard run-once login scripts. DFC commands require a password with command line rights. OTPs cannot be used. List all commands by calling DFC without parameters. The files are copied to C:\WINDOWS\system32\DFC.exe
DFC Boot Control
DFC password /BOOTTHAWED
DFC password /THAWNEXTBOOT
DFC password /BOOTFROZEN
DFC password /FREEZENEXTBOOT
Restarts workstation into a Thawed state. Only works on Frozen workstations. Sets up workstation to restart Thawed the next time it restarts. Only works on Frozen workstations. Does not force workstation to restart. Restarts workstation into a Frozen state. Only works on Thawed workstations. Sets up workstation to restart Frozen the next time it restarts. Only works on Thawed workstations. Does not force workstation to restart.
DFC Status Query
DFC get /ISFROZEN
Queries workstation if it is Frozen. Returns 0 if Thawed. Returns 1 if Frozen.
Configuration Update
DFC password /CFG=[path] depfrz.rdx
Replaces Deep Freeze configuration information. Works on Thawed or Frozen workstations. Password changes are effective immediately. Other changes require restart.
Example Batch File Below is a sample batch file that can be modified for use with any antivirus software that supports updating through a command line.
@ECHO OFF \\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER\DFC.EXE get /isfrozen IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO FROZEN IF ERRORLEVEL 0 GOTO THAWED :FROZEN
ECHO Errors where encountered running the command line control on this workstation. \\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER\DFC.EXE password /bootthawed GOTO END :THAWED
REM ********************************************************************** REM * Insert the command to update the antivirus software here. * \\SERVER\SHARE\FOLDER\DFC.EXE password /freezenextboot REM Send commands to reboot the system.

REM For Windows 2000 (may need to be called 2x)
Updating the Virus Definitions
This document provides three different ways to approach virus signature file updates for CA eTrust Antivirus clients. 1) Do Nothing The virus signature file continues getting updated every time the workstations are restarted or whenever the updates are pushed down, but the changes are lost upon reboots. On fast-switched networks this has a negligible impact on the boot-up time. The workstations have the latest definitions at all times. The only downside of this method is that, with time, the signature file keep growing bigger. Therefore, it is recommended to schedule a Thawed Maintenance Period at least twice a year to make the updates permanent. 2) Manually Update the New Virus Definitions 1. Using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console, set the workstations to reboot into the Thawed state. 2. When the computers are back on, right click the eTrust icon on the system tray to access the menu. 3. Select Download Updates Now, this will automatically download and apply updates from the distribution server as shown below.
This immediately updates the Virus Signatures.
3) Scheduling the Virus Updates From the Local Computer 1. 2. 3. Using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console, schedule a Maintenance Period as per instructions provided on p. 4-5. Right click the eTrust icon on the system tray and choose About on the menu. On the Summary page, click on Change your update settings here.
On the Update tab set the date and time that updates will be downloaded to correspond with the date and time of the Maintenance period configured in step 1.
4) Scheduling the Virus Updates from eTrust Threat Management Console 1. 2. Using the Deep Freeze Enterprise Console, schedule a Maintenance Period as per instructions provided on p. 4-5. Open the eTrust Threat Management Console and click on the Policy Management tab
On the Policy Management tab select Common on the Applications drop down menu, and then select Content Update on the Type menu and click on New to create a new policy. Enter a description of the policy and assign the policy to the organization containing the computers to be updated.
Click on the Update Scheduler tab and set the schedule to match the settings for the Maintenance period specified in step one.
Click on the Components tab and select the eTrust components that you want to update. When the appropriate settings have been selected click Apply to finish.

For the Kardashians, reality is a flexible concept. When radio detection and rangingOnline.com exposed the fact that Kris Jenner had been duping fans of Keeping Up with the Kardashians by using a stranger's home for exterior shots of what was supposed to be her house on the show, daughter Kim Kardashian quickly hit back, insisting it was for security reasons. But radio detection and ranging can reveal that they're fudging the truth yet again: According to a source, Jenner's real home wasn't shown because it isn't fancy enough!
"E! didn't want to use the facade for Kris' house because it wasn't grand enough," an insider tells radio detection and ranging exclusively. Instead, show producers opted to do exterior shots at a home more than 20 miles away. They also used a replacement home for exterior shots of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick's humble Calabasas home, as radio detection and ranging reported.
Celebs Who Have Slammed The Kardashians
Kardashian insists that choice was for security reasons, saying, "My old home in Beverly Hills was really my home and I would get people showing up at all hours, ringing my gate and had to call the police on several occasions. It was so unsafe … After that we realized how unsafe it is to show the exteriors of our homes."
But the source tells radio detection and ranging, "Kris' real house is in a gated community so she wouldn't even have to worry about that!" Kourtney and Scott's home was also in a gated community with guards.
The Craziest & Most Outrageous Celebrity Rumors — What's True, What's Not?
In addition, the source points out, Kardashian's new home with boyfriend Kanye West was featured – both outside and inside — on the most recent season of KUWTK. And before that, as she herself admitted, her Beverly Hills bachelorette pad was repeatedly featured.
Are you surprised by the lengths at which the family will go to deceive the public? Or is it no big deal? Let us know in the comments!

In our business, at the end of a project it would be ideal to place all project-related info into a project-specific directory for archiving and searching.
We'd like to pull all emails from the project's folder and place them into that (windows) directory as well - removing them from the user's project folder at the same time.
What's the best way of achieving this? Is there any upcoming emhancement that would help?

A classic (immortalized by Paul Simon in song) and a favorite of many, many photographers, this is a wonderful film. It is trusted by many for good reason; if you have ever seen a 25 year old Kodachrome slide, you know why.
The tight grain and natural, warm colors of this film will help produce stunning transparencies that can be enlarged many times.

What is a good place to buy computer cables? I know the cables you could buy at places like Best Buy are badly overpriced, but I'm not sure which websites are cheap and trustworthy.
Maybe try Monoprice.com That's where I get cables for my TV, so they might have Computer as well.
I removed it.
I'll second monoprice.
Big Box stores make an obscene amount of money selling those cables.
"Homemade beer, after all, is like a democracy. Every so often, youre gonna hate what comes out of it. But when its good, its the best." - woot.com
The only answer is monoprice.
Monoprice or Overstock.com, I would think.
What types of cables? Power cables? VGA cables? DVI cables?
Check Craigslist. I've put cables out on Craigslist before for just a few $$.
Also, doesn't ISU have a surplus store or something like that where they have extra computer equipment? I can't remember for sure, but it's something to look into.
I agree with Monoprice but if you'd rather buy local DIT has some decent prices and the guys actually know what they are talking about compared to BB.
def. monoprice.com

The governing bodies of English football are considering introducing cultural lessons to foreign players to help prevent the kind of racially related offences that have blighted the Premier League in the past year.
With around 60% of the Premier League made up of foreign players, the powers that be have drawn up a 93-point document titled 'English Football's Inclusion and Anti-Discrimination Action Plan', to aid integration and eradicate cultural differences in the game.
While we applaud any attempt to eradicate discrimination, we couldn't help but wonder what cultural lessons foreign players will be taught upon their arrival in England, so we've had a tongue-in-cheek guess…
Refuse to learn any language other than your native tongue
It's well known that the English can't be bothered to speak other languages, so it's high time that foreign players in the Premier League stopped learning our language, putting their hosts to shame. This lesson will be taught by Carlos Tevez and, when he's too busy playing golf, by Joey Barton in a silly French accent, or Steve McClaren in fluent Dutch.
Be rubbish at penalties
From Waddle, through Southgate, to Beckham, there is nothing more English than being rubbish at penalties. It is almost sacrilege to suggest that England could remotely be good at penalties, and if foreign players are to fit in with our customs, that means they will have to follow suit. Eden Hazard's tame miss from the spot against Nordsjaelland in the Champions League receives top marks.
Binge drink
It has come to our attention that foreign players and managers still fail to grasp the concept that drinking excessive amounts of booze is not necessarily a crazy thing for an elite athlete to do, but instead should be viewed as vital 'team bonding'. This does not include moderate, sensible amounts of wine consumed with a healthy meal.
Hook up with a celeb-obsessed WAG
One of the biggest criticisms of British society is its idolisation of third-rate celebrities. However, for the Premier League footballer that needn't be a worry. Many young, rich footballers with an aspiring model on their arm have gone on to have a successful careers in the Premier League. In fact, if a foreign player is to adapt to life on these shores, he needs to quickly learn that the chain of success goes: money; WAG; autobiography; super injunction; possibly success on the pitch.
Give the ball away with ease
A staple part of English football is the ease with which the ball is given away. From failure to complete the most routine pass, to mindlessly clearing the ball up the pitch, foreign imports have a lot to learn when it comes to 'getting rid'..
On a serious note, should the FA consider introducing 'cultural lessons' for foreign players? Would it help to eradicate discrimination within the game? Have your say by commenting below...

NEW DELHI: India may impose anti-dumping duty of up to $73.8 per cubic metre on imports of gypsum plaster boards, except certain varieties like fire boards, from China, Indonesia, Thailand and UAE to protect domestic players.
The gypsum plaster boards are mainly used in interior construction in suspended ceiling and partition applications.
In its final findings, the Directorate General of Anti-dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) has recommended imposition of the duty on 'Plain Gypsum Plaster Boards' originating in or exported from China, Indonesia, Thailand and UAE, the Commerce Ministry said in a notification.

Expect Bold, New Regulatory Structure
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 151 Visits
Rick Steinberg provides a lucid review of the financial crisis and the role that financial regulators and overseers played in his recent webinar titled "The Great Financial System Meltdown". If you were fortunate enough to attend, you heard Rick describe how we landed in this difficult financial crisis and what he expects in terms of regulations and outcomes for 2009 and beyond. One point that I found very interesting was that we need to recognize that the "100 year flood" happens every 20-30 years. He pointed to the S&L fiasco, junk bond debacle, dot-com bubble, today's financial system meltdown and liquidity, credit markets seizure – all of which happened since Bill Buckner couldn't field a ground ball in the '86 World Series.
Integrating Risk Management
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 257 Visits
I recently had the pleasure of presenting with Richard Brilliant, Carnival's vice president and chief audit executive of Audit Services in a Compliance Week webinar titled: "Leveraging the Power of Integrated Risk Management". Richard began his presentation by asking a very telling question: "Who specifically is best suited to manage risk in your organization"? The answer of course was "Everyone". After all, enterprise risk management is about managing risks across multiple risk and compliance disciplines as well as across multiple business units. In other words, ERM requires everyone's participation to be truly effective and risk awareness must be instilled at all levels of the organization. In the case of Carnival, this meant integrating risk, compliance and audit activities across business lines to support ERM and audit views of risk that were different but synergetic.
The other (less talked about) benefit of an integrated risk management program is reduced cost. With improved efficiencies for controls, control tests and auditing along with reduced internal overhead and maintenance for reporting products and support systems, ERM solutions deliver rapid returns on investment.
The Evolving Role of Audit
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 237 Visits
The Institute of Internal Auditors 2009 General Audit Management Conference is coming up and should be quite timely given the evolving role that Audit is playing in providing an independent assessment of enterprise risk and governance. The conference has some intr
As you can see, internal audit has evolved from its traditional role of record examination and identification of policy violations to a more modern, consultative approach aimed at risk mitigation. As part of this evolutionary process, internal auditors have also focused more of their efforts on the risk assessment process and a top-down approach to audit scoping.
One of the key roadblocks to an integrated approach was the sheer complexity of data gathering and management. In the past, it represented a tremendous amount of effort for internal audit to collect relevant information and to govern access to that information securely. A centralized technology platform for identifying, assessing and monitoring risk and controls presents a unique and unprecedented opportunity to help the business focus on making risk decisions based on management's risk appetite and tolerances. This common framework and process can make the business more predictable in meeting financial and management objectives and can help managers anticipate major risk and control problems of the future.
As a partner with the business in managing risk, internal audit should be a driving factor in evaluating technological and process-based changes and evolving the organization's risk management practices.

The Growing Chorus for Greater (or Better) Regulatory Oversight

Plenty of Green at IDC Analyst Event
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 148 Visits
What better place to hold an industry event on St. Patty's Day than Boston? Writing today from IDC's annual analyst event, there is plenty of green in IDC's IT spending forecasts. IDC Directions 2009 includes over 40 sessions from IDC analysts, and the overall theme is: 2009 will be bad, but IT spending will rebound in late 2009 and 2010 should rebound to 2008 levels.
John Gantz, chief research officer and senior vice president began the day on a positive note discussing how by the end of the decade, nearly half the planet will be using mobile devices; more than 25% will have access to the Internet, most with broadband connections and more outside the developed world than in. 7.5 billion devices. The converged entity will be a $3 trillion market and encompass a kaleidoscope of computer, communications, content, and services vendors.
Mr. Gantz placed "Compliance" on his "Markets to Watch" list for potential for strong growth. In terms of Governance, Compliance and Sustainability, Kathleen Wilhide, Research Director, Compliance and Business Performance Management Solutions discussed how Fortune 500 companies are barraged with dozens of major standards of corporate accountability, responsibility, and sustainability. The rapid increase in the amount of communications focusing on sustainability topics such as carbon footprint and going "green" signal a shift occurring today: sustainability is now a critical part of many companies' corporate strategies. While this session focused on sustainability, it became clear the overarching issue and business challenge of managing risk and compliance silos is evident and common across all governance, compliance and sustainability initiatives (OpenPages is hosting a Webinar on this topic on April 9, in conjunction with Compliance Week).
Ms. Wilhide described how software driven processes are emerging to support an organization's sustainability strategy, calibrate progress, and quickly detect gaps in governance and sustainability practices. She also spoke to how software will play a role in managing sustainability efforts, and will provide a deeper dive into how energy companies approach one key area of sustainability – energy and the environment.
The Ultimate Operational Risk Management Platform
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 252 Visits
According to an IBM study of over 1,200 CFOs and senior finance executives, 62 percent of enterprises with over $5 billion in revenue encountered a major risk event in the previous three years, and when a major risk event did occur, 42 percent were not well prepared. Unlike Sarbanes Oxley and other structured, clearly defined compliance initiatives, building an effective operational risk control environment and culture requires proactive identification and frequent review of potentially harmful events.

A frequent speaker and well versed GRC industry expert, Scott is the managing vice president of operational risk management at Capital One and also serves as vice president of the OpenForum User Group. At OpRisk USA, Scott will make a case for risk process integration and success factors in driving change to create a more effective and efficient ORM.
Facilitating Sound Principles in Risk Management
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 158 Visits
In today's environment, an organization's Board of Directors assumes a greater degree of accountability and understands the importance of instilling a risk aware culture to gain better visibility into corporate risk. With limited resources, it is more critical than ever that GRC managers focus on the key areas of risk in the business, whether in Compliance, Sox, IT or Audit.
To achieve these goal
Business Intelligence and Risk Managemen
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 226 Visits
In 1958, IBM researcher Hans Peter Luhn first introduced the term business intelligence (BI) in an article he contributed to the IBM Journal. He described business intelligence as "the ability to apprehend the interrelationships of presented facts in such a way as to guide action towards a desired goal." Cleary, business intelligence plays a key role in risk management providing executive level decision-makers the ability to look across all categories of risk (in different business units, categories, geographies etc.) and providing a global view into business performance and risk exposure.

Barclays Operational Risk Framework
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 418 Visits
In a recent OpRisk and Compliance Webinar, John Whittaker, group operational risk director at Barclays described how his team has achieved AMA by embedding the Operational Risk Framework. He described how the framework provides a single control infrastructure and common risk language across the Group and supports the effective measurement and management of operational risk.
In support of this initiative, Barclays implemented an operational risk system (built on OpenPages) which replaced separate systems used for Sarbanes Oxley and Operational Risk Management. The OpenPages solution provides Barclays a single repository for data and supports the harmonization of Operational Risk and Sarbanes Oxley risk and control assessment methodologies.
John was joined in the Webinar by Operational Riskdata eXchange Association (ORX) executive director Simon Wills who discussed operational loss data analysis and trends in the banking sector. To listen to this informative and substantive Webinar, check out the archived Webinar presented in its entirety.

The Role of Operational Risk Moving Forward
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 162 Visits
Over the last couple weeks, OpenPages has participated in three different conferences on risk and compliance. We sponsored the Global Conference on Operational Risk put on by the RMA and ORX, Gartner's Risk Management and Compliance event in Chicago, and the RIMS show in Orlando. At each event, many people were asking about the role of risk management moving forward. In particular, as companies adjust to a new reality of risk management oversight, particularly in the financial services arena, many are rethinking how the different risk disciplines relate to one another.
Thoughts on the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program

The Stress Tests for the US Bank Holding Companies (BHC) have been released by the Fed. As had been leaked, the industry must raise $74.6 billion. The biggest number is for the Bank of America, which must raise $33.9 million, as they are unlikely to convert the preferred shares owned by the Treasury. The New York Times is reporting that the US Government will end up owning 36 pct of Citi after they convert their rescue funds into common stock. They will still have to raise $5.5 billion. Other interesting details:
Risk Management Lessons from Abroad
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 172 Visits
Recently, there have been a few interesting articles about how other countries approach risk management. Last week, Dow Jones reported that Brazilian banks will be required to establish and maintain internal risk management structures, assuring regulators that there is some standardization of the risk management function across financial services institutions. Earlier this week, the Financial Times reported on the risk management governance practices in Spain. In Spanish banks, there's a practice of non-executive directors sitting on a risk committee that advises management on their risk management practices. These are no paper tigers: apparently, the committee at BBVA met 102 times last year.
Banking Stress Tests: Are we any safer?
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 196 Visits
The Treasury is expected to announce this afternoon their long-awaited results to the so-called banking stress tests. They've done a good job leaking the key bits of information this week so the market has had time to adjust. Actually, they've done a good job attenuating the whole banking system assessment process, which has allowed time for investor sentiment to improve with the recent glimmers of hope for the economy that some prognosticators are seeing. What will be interesting is to see the parameters of the tests. I've read that the tests assume a worst case scenario of job loss that we're very likely to exceed, but I'll wait to see the fine print.
Operational Risk and Solvency II
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 163 Visits
Operational risk is a critical component of an enterprise risk management strategy. For European Insurers, Solvency II will require an more holistic approach to managing and reporting on risk within the business, as noted here on the OpRisk and Compliance blog.
How Operational Risk Management Helps All Risk Disciplines
John Kelly 270004J7VQ firstname.lastname@example.com | | 0 Comments | 277 Visits
We've learned that operational risks played a big part in the losses associated with the current crisis. Now that companies are rethinking their risk management strategies moving forward, many are hoping to leverage operational risk management to improve performance in other risk management disciplines.
In a recent webinar, John Wheeler of Wheelhouse Advisors (formerly Senior Vice President and Senior Risk Officer within the Corporate Risk Management division at SunTrust Banks – see case study) spoke to some of the root causes of the crisis associated with operational risk management, and how moving forward operational risk management can be leveraged for strategic advantage.

Open Season on Regulatory Reform
Gordon Burnes 270004HVEW email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 178 Visits
The Obama administration has been moving fast on a lot of fronts, but certainly one of the longstanding legacies will be regulatory reform in the financial services sector. We've blogged here before about Hal Scott and the Committee on Capital Markets Regulation (CCMR), and some of those ideas have made their way into the current proposals currently being floated by the Obama administration.The CCMR borrowed from the FSA's model, and while current proposals don't go that far (and Barney Frank won't let them), there will likely be some regulatory consolidation in future legislation.
Elizabeth Warren's argued that you can't buy a toaster that has a 1 in 5 chance of bursting into flames and burning down your house. Aguilar supported Warren 's notion that consumers of financial product must be protected but believes that there should not be a single regulatory authority over, say, credit card and mutual funds. The purposes, pricing, and value chains for the products are totally different. He further noted that there's already a viable entity for investor protection, although in the Q&A he pointed out that the SEC is not self-funded and regulates 35,000 entities with a staff of 3,600 (vs. the FDIC, for instance, that regulates 5,100 banks with a staff of 5,000).
Technology and Risk Management Culture
John Kelly 270004J7VQ email@example.com | | 0 Comments | 200 Visits
It's become clear that a risk-aware corporate culture is of critical importance to an organization. In the past year alone, there have been various examples in the news where a lack of risk-aware corporate culture has hurt companies, some beyond repair. Rick Steinberg, Founder and CEO of Steinberg Governance Advisors, Inc., recently joined OpenPages' Gordon Burnes for a webinar discussion on how to develop a risk-aware culture, and the role technology can play in transforming an organization's approach to enterprise risk management.
How does your organization promote a risk-aware culture?

A wedding dress for planetary success
One more thing to love about modern times: You don't have to choose between being eco-friendly and looking gorgeous. Earth-friendly fabrics like bamboo and hemp-silk blends not only look beautiful, they feel luxurious.
A vintage dress is another great option for looking fabulous – and being a resourceful bride without using up resources. You can enjoy the classic look of yesteryear, or talk to one of the many designers and dressmakers who specialize in remaking vintage dresses to suit your unique modern style.
Of course, if you're a woman who's just got to have a dress that's all her own, we've got plenty of drooling material over here. (If you're feeling a twinge, you can have that new dress without a stitch of guilt. You can still help out Mother Earth by donating your dress when the wedding is over. Brides Against Breast Cancer is a great cause, and you'll have the pleasure of knowing that your gorgeous gown is helping a sister bride when you're done.)
This month's stress-buster: While you're thinking about the beauty of things past, why not have a classic cocktail night? Grab a couple of measuring cups (one ounce and one and a half ounces are all you really need), a shaker, and some fresh fruit for garnishes and introduce your friends to the world of sidecars, highballs, and Singapore slings.
