AVG CloudCare Adds New Email Security Services For Small Businesses
Email Security and Free Remote IT Join Growing List of Cloud-based Services Available on Simplified IT Management Platform
AMSTERDAM and SAN FRANCISCO – AVG Technologies (NYSE: AVG), the provider of Internet and mobile security to 146 million active users, today announced a new release of AVG® CloudCare™, the easy-to-use cloud based administration platform that allows remote deployment and management of IT and security services for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) at an affordable price.
Two important new service offerings are included in this latest AVG CloudCare release: the commercial edition of AVG Remote IT and AVG Email Security Services. These two capabilities join the award-winning AVG AntiVirus 2013 technology and AVG Content Filtering services in adding to the versatility of the AVG CloudCare platform, which has already been adopted by more than 1000 channel partners serving thousands of small businesses.
AVG Remote IT Service
The commercial release of AVG Remote IT service, previously available in beta, allows SMBs and reseller partners to remotely access and deploy services, and trouble-shoot a wide range of issues on client devices. Tasks can be performed remotely from any location, including many that are not AVG software specific— including resolving software issues and security fixes. Most importantly AVG is providing this essential capability for free.
"AVG CloudCare has helped us to grow the number of customers we can serve from 0 to 350 in a very short period of time as well as service them more efficiently and cost-effectively," said AVG reseller partner Kevin Landry of Advanced Micro Systems. "AVG Remote IT is a key enabler. It's already saving us thousands of dollars a year by minimizing on-site support, while adding to our customer satisfaction."
AVG Email Security Services
AVG also has added AVG Email Security Services to expand protection and enhance the simple-yet-powerful management features offered by the platform to establish safer, more efficient, and spam-free business emails.
The new email security module includes:
- AVG AntiSpam, a comprehensive cloud-based protection program which is designed to protect against spam, viruses, phishing attacks, malware, denial of service (DoS) attacks, directory harvesting attacks (DHA), and other and other key email-borne threats.
- AVG Email Archive, a highly efficient email archive that provides powerful email search capabilities, simple email recovery to the user's inbox, and web based access to the archive for business continuity.
- AVG Encrypted Email, automatically encrypts all inbox-to-inbox communication through a hosted, secure network to help the SMB's comply more easily with industry regulations and protect sensitive information, including HIPAA, Financial Services, CIPA, UK NIN, and state data breach notification laws. Custom policies are also available to always encrypt email going "To:" a specific domain.
"AVG is upping the ante in the SMB market by enhancing the range of services provided in AVG CloudCare so that small businesses can enjoy the benefits of simplified IT management, pay-as-you-go services and increased productivity," said Mike Foreman, GM for AVG SMB group.
"The addition of email security services is a natural extension to the AVG CloudCare platform," he noted. "At a time when SMBs are looking for suitable alternatives to the traditional server based email security solutions and a trusted cloud-based partner, AVG is combining an email security solution with our proven cloud-based IT management platform to meet their needs."
According to the research firm Gartner*, cloud services represents one of the biggest SMB tech opportunities in 2013. SMBs will spend approximately $920 billion worldwide on IT services in 2013. And it is estimated that nearly 40% of SMBs will spend one-third of their IT budgets on managed cloud services in 2013.
AVG CloudCare is a cloud-based IT administration platform provided to partners free-of-charge enabling them to roll out "pay-as-you-go" services that make it easier for them to manage and protect their small business customers. Free remote management tools, one-click service user activation plus easy policy deployment and automatic removal of older versions of AV software help to save time and reduce the need for onsite visits – allowing partners to serve even the smallest customer more profitably. Additional benefits include sales alerts and one-click reporting to help demonstrate partners' added value.
The AVG CloudCare platform with AVG Remote IT, AVG Email Security Services, AVG AntiVirus and AVG Content Filtering is available immediately via AVG reseller and managed service partners in the US, UK and IR. AVG Remote IT is offered for free. For all AVG CloudCare services, customers pay only for the services they use with a convenient monthly billing option.

Getting up close and personal with an exotic creature, Michelle Rodriguez and Cara Delevingne visited the Big Cat Encounters Ranch in Pahrump, Nevada on Tuesday (January 14).
With cameras in hand, the gals joined owner/operator Karl Mitchell at the Salt Flats, where he fed a baby tiger.
At one point, the British beauty gave the cub a kiss and the girls both got a chance to walk it on a chain.
On Monday (January 20), Cara marked the federal holiday in the States by honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Posting a quote from the civil rights leader, she tweeted, "This man did more than just dream, he DID! He moved, he inspired, he changed! His legacy will live on forever. Happy #MLKday #LEGEND."

109th Annual Conference
Saturday, November 5, 2011 to Sunday, November 6, 2011
Scripps College
Claremont, California
Sponsored by Scripps College
Founded by newspaper publisher and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps in 1926, Scripps is the women's college of The Claremont Colleges. Scripps women lay claim to the best of both worlds: a superb liberal arts education on one of America's most beautiful college campuses as well as the opportunity to take advantage of educational and co-curricular offerings at four coed colleges literally next door to one another. Scripps graduates go on to some of the most prestigious graduate schools in the nation and leadership positions in a wide range of academic fields and endeavors.
Scripps College is frequently described as one of America's most beautiful college campuses. The successful placement of buildings in a lush garden landscape and the intimate scale of this academic environment have been the setting for Ellen Browning Scripps' "experiment in education" for more than 75 years.
The majority of the PAMLA conference will take place at Balch Hall, 1030 Columbia Ave., Claremont, CA.
There will be a registration desk on the 2nd floor balcony of the Malott Commons (#15 on campus map). Malott Commons is on 9th St. near the corner of 9th and Columbia Ave., Claremont, CA. (adjacent to Balch Hall). Come by the registration desk to check in and to receive your name-tag and a paper copy of the conference program.

Whether you want to give a positive review or make a complaint, we welcome your feedback. All comments are taken into consideration and used to make our service and business even better.
Please either email us at email@example.com or write to us at:
Appco Sdn Bhd
Level 18, Axiata Tower,
No. 9, Jalan Stesen Sentral 5,
Kuala Lumpur Sentral,
50470 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
We speak to over 600,000 people every month around the region in Asia and the vast majority of those people enjoy their interactions with the fundraisers and independent contractors in our network.
However, we understand that there are times when you need to advise us of areas where we could improve.
Your query will be treated with the utmost consideration and, if it can't be dealt with directly by the team, it will be forwarded to the Appco Group Malaysia staff member who is best placed to assist you further.
Clients have so many choices when it comes to choosing the right marketing channel. Most organisations use a mixture of different advertising channels to get their message across. But we believe that people still respond best to people – and we're not alone.
Appco Group Malaysia offers clients a way to introduce, advertise and sell a product or service – all at the same time. We help companies increase sales, increase market share, connect with their customer base, and build their brand.
At Appco Group Malaysia we place the clients at the centre of everything we do.
Our performance based model means the clients only pay for the results we deliver. We do not charge set up or management fees, we do not charge an hourly rate or require a minimum level of investment. We are remunerated purely on performance, which means the onus is on us to consistently deliver quality customers. We insist on the highest possible standards of integrity and accountability at all times.
We make a commitment to the clients through our brand promises of risk free customer acquisition, guaranteed return on investment and brand enhancement.
The simple answer is because it works – and the results are much more measurable, unlike TV campaigns, newspaper adverts and billboards.
Commercial clients
We generate over US$45,000 in sales every month across the region.
Charity clients
On average, every month in Asia, we secure more than 21,000 donors for the charity partners, which means that between them they receive more than US$115 million in donations – every month (based on a donor giving for an average of three years).
Appco Group Malaysia uses a performance-based model, which means the onus is on us to deliver committed, long-term, customers or regular-giving donors because commercial clients and charities only pay us for the customers or donors we deliver.
Contracts with our commercial and charity clients are agreed on a campaign basis, and payments to Appco Group Malaysia come from a pre-allocated sales or fundraising budget (which may, for example, also include TV and billboard advertising).
We are paid by a commercial client or charity client for each customer or donor recruited. This is a one-off payment from a pre-allocated sales or fundraising budget. All sales or donations made by people signed up by the face-to-face independent contractors in our network go directly to the nominated client or charity.
One word that sums us up is opportunity – every single person in our organisation has come through a sales programme and gone through a development and training system that really is second to none. We have a unique and proven track record of bringing people through from a sales environment all the way through to managing and operating their independent marketing companies. We are extremely proud of having done it 100's of times globally and over 80 times across South East Asia.
With our global network and increasing client demand for field sales solutions we're expanding into new markets around the world faster than ever before.
When choosing your career there are a few things to consider and most of us are looking for the big three.
Enjoyment, not just work!
We encourage our people to enjoy themselves in their daily work – knowing very well that this makes the customer or donor experience more meaningful and the work more rewarding.
We realise people prefer that work is enjoyable part of their life and we have modelled our business around encouraging contribution, celebrating success and collaborating with individuals and teams to assist them in achieving their potential.
If travel and regional working opportunities interest you, events are held in various cities throughout South East Asia.
There are many conferences, meetings and conventions held in different cities across the region giving delegates the opportunity to visit other countries.
By choosing to contract to one of our associated marketing companies, you are sure to develop some positive working relationships. Through regular team activities, the associated marketing companies make a genuine effort to encourage these positive relationships.
Career advancement and good money
The Appco career development path illustrated, shows you how we take our people
from a sales and marketing role (independent contractor) all the way through to
management and strategy positions (Leadership right through to becoming an
Owner and above) with the earning potential increasing incrementally at each stage.
The career development path has become the corner stone of how we fulfil this
growing market demand and have incredibly talented people in the right places
around the world.
There tends to be a bit of confusion around this, but it's really quite simple once you have the correct information.
Appco Group Malaysia sits in the middle and, on one side, directly manages relationships with the clients. On the other side, Appco also contracts independent marketing companies to provide the self-employed independent contractors who represent Appco's clients on face-to-face sales and fundraising campaigns.
Take a look at our diagram below for a simple visualisation of our model.
Most people become Owners or Owner Partners have never owned or run their own business before.
Appco Group Malaysia endeavours to support each and every Owner Partner and Owner to be successful.
The more successful you are as an Owner Partner/Owner and above the more well trained your
independent contractors are, the better results they produce, the better the client does, the greater
expansion opportunities for Appco Group Malaysia. Hence, our philosophy of win-win-win.
Appco Group Malaysia does not operate under any other names. It is sometimes confused or interchanged with its sister company, the Cobra Group of Companies – of which Appco Group is a subsidiary.
In all markets in which Appco Group operates, we conduct marketing and customer acquisition campaigns on behalf of the clients, using their branding to ensure maximum awareness and understanding of their products, services and worthy causes.
At the regional head offices in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines, Hong Kong, and South Korea there are over 250 people employed by Appco to service the clients and support the independent marketing company network and the self-employed independent contractors they contract to.
We are the conduit between the clients and the marketing/field sales network. The divisional teams are experts in their sectors and work with the clients to develop face-to-face campaigns that will deliver their customer or donor-acquisition objectives.
Around the region, independent contractors are contracted, on a self-employed basis, to independent marketing companies in our network.
For 28 years, our self-employment model has given thousands of people around the region in Asia and across the world, the opportunity to define their own career paths and levels of commitment and income. Whether you simply want to earn money while studying or travelling, or you're planning to build your own business in direct sales, there are opportunities for you within the Appco network.
There is another benefit to our self-employment model, this time for the clients. We believe very strongly in delivering quality customers and donors for the clients, not just quantity. Independent contractors are paid on performance, for each customer or donor they sign up who then stays on for a certain period of time. This will vary, depending on the agreement with the client.
This model discourages pressure selling and ensures that independent contractors are encouraged to engage with people and have meaningful, informative conversations to identify whether they have a genuine interest, need and/or affinity for the product, service or charitable cause.
Independent contractors are contracted on a self-employed, commission-only basis.
This means entrepreneurial people can choose flexible working opportunities and have the ability to define their own career paths.
The model allows them to determine their level of commitment and effort, and take full control of their income and life choices. They can also tap into a wealth of knowledge and experience to allow them to develop on a personal and business level, with an opportunity to create and grow their own business venture.
We are the first to admit that door-to-door sales and fundraising is not for everyone. As well as direct sales ability, the role requires hard work, perseverance and the ability to maintain a positive attitude on the days when you don't make the sales you were aiming for. And while independent contractors (ICs) may work in teams within an area, you do spend a proportion of your day working on your own.
For these reasons, it is important to provide opportunities for people to meet and share their experiences, ask for advice and, yes, be motivated by others' success. The independent marketing companies that ICs are contracted to usually facilitate morning meetings for this exact purpose, and the majority of ICs in the network find they are useful. It is also a very easy way to find out if there are any changes to the product or charity campaign.
Appco Group itself also holds various events throughout the year to allow people from across the network to get together, understand how Appco can support their business development, learn from those who've achieved success in the direct sales industry and, yes, be motivated and inspired.
Again, we understand that this environment is not to everyone's taste, but we are proud of the thousands of ICs across the globe who are currently working hard and enjoying what they do.
The Appco Group model is often misunderstood, or not explained as clearly as it could be. It also must be said that door-to-door sales and fundraising is not for everyone and, sometimes, those who have not enjoyed it exercise their right to describe their experiences online.
But that doesn't give the full or accurate picture of what we do. It also doesn't reflect the positive experiences that literally thousands of field representatives past and present have had within the Appco network. And finally, it does not account for the countless clients – numerous household names among them – that have chosen to work with us over the 28 years we have been in business.
In every country in which we operate, Appco Group Asia complies with all relevant laws and codes of practice for every sector.
No, Appco is not a pyramid scheme. A pyramid scheme requires people to personally contribute financially and they are then paid for recruiting people into the business.
No one within Appco's operational model is paid in this way, nor are they ever required to make a personal financial contribution to the business.

The Global Partnership for Education developed a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to:
- Measure progress in achieving the goals and objectives outlined in GPE 2020
- Communicate GPE's progress along its theory of change
- Learn from evidence for driving meaningful and equitable changes in partner countries' education systems.
GPE's Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy aims to generate data and evidence to help the partnership learn, improve what it does, and be accountable to its constituents.
Results framework and reports
GPE's results framework is aligned to the theory of change and includes 37 indicators. The GPE Secretariat monitors these indicators and reports on them publicly in its annual Results Report.
The Results Report highlights the partnership's achievements and areas for improvement and provides information on the key strategic objectives in learning, equity and inclusion.
Country-level evaluations
Country-level evaluations are an integral part of the Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy. They assess the effectiveness of the GPE operational model in supporting partner countries to achieve results in learning, equity, inclusion for all, and in strengthening education systems. Lessons from these evaluations will inform GPE's strategic direction beyond 2020.
20 summative studies are being conducted at or around the completion of a GPE implementation grant in the following countries:
- Bangladesh
- Burkina Faso
- Cambodia
- Cote d'Ivoire
- Gambia

Programmatic evaluations examine the relevance, efficiency and effectiveness of GPE grant programs and instruments, as well as their contributions to results in the areas of learning, equity and system strengthening.
- Support to plan development
This evaluation investigates how and how well GPE's support to sector planning is working and provides recommendations for improvement. The information generated aims to strengthen how the partnership ensures rigor in support of sector planning. The work spans two years and will include a desk study and a multi-year evaluation study.
Learn more:
- Support to developing country partner constituency meetings
The study's primary purposes were to assess the extent to which the constituency meetings met their objectives since their initiation in 2014, and whether the meetings have supported other aspects of partnership such as knowledge and good practice exchange and peer-to-peer learning. The evaluation provided a set of actionable recommendations as to how the meetings can be enhanced.
Learn more:
- Support to civil society engagement
An evaluation was conducted on GPE's support to civil society engagement and social accountability through the Civil Society Education Fund III program, to inform further advocacy and social accountability work and to support the design of Education Out Loud.

Discoveries at Taste - Victoria's Festival of Food and Wine
Photo: Rocky Creek's Mark and Linda Holford at Taste
One of the major Okanagan wineries chose to sit out Taste – Victoria's Festival of Food and Wine because winery officials thought the turnout for last year's Taste (the first) was a bit lukewarm.
I have news: this year's turnout was better and, from my observation, the 33 British Columbia wineries attending were happy with the response. In fact, Vivianne Hanson, one of owners of Seven Stones Winery, a rising star in the Similkameen, was ecstatic at how consumers were responding to the Seven Stones wines.
Numerous Okanagan and Similkameen wineries were at Taste for the first time. For some, it may have been the first time that they were showing wines in Victoria.
Of course, it is a reflection of the times. The number of wineries in British Columbia has tripled in the last decade. Getting and keeping market share is a lot harder than it once was.
The winery I was most surprised (and pleased) to see there was Blue Mountain Vineyard and Cellars. In the 1990s, this was the Okanagan's original cult winery. Fans clamoured for Blue Mountain wines, which usually sold out in days or weeks of release.
These days, Blue Mountain wines no longer sell out in a blink. The wines are as good as ever but there is a growing list of competing cult wineries. So Blue Mountain is showing up a more festivals, doing some winemaker dinners and offering wine for sale in private wine stores.
Sitting out events like Taste may not be an option.
The 33 producers at Thursday evening's public tasting included two Vancouver Island cideries, Victoria Gin and Artisan SakeMaker at Granville Island. These 33 had tables throughout Victoria's Crystal Gardens, intermingled with food stations from some of the city's best restaurants. Crystal Gardens is spacious enough that there seemed no serious overcrowding in front of winery or restaurant tables. Even so, it was not possible to visit everyone in the time available.
I did my best. Here are notes on some of the more notable wines.
Alderlea Vineyards 2007 Merlot ($28). There is only one way to ripen Merlot on Vancouver Island and that is to start it growing each spring under a plastic tent. Alderlea's Roger Dosman was one of the earliest of island producers to tent. The result is a big, generous, plummy wine. 88-90
Alderlea Vineyards 2007 Matrix ($28). This is the new name for Fusion. An Argentinean winery, Zuccardi, has a big volume brand called FuZion but had neglected to trademark it in Canada. So they bought Alderlea's trademark and Alderlea rebranded its wine as Matrix. This red is made from Cabernet Foch, one of the crosses from Valentin Blattner in Switzerland. The flavour is closer to Cabernet than to Foch, with dramatic aromas of herbs and spices. It tastes of red plum and currants and has piquant acidity. It is a new taste profile among B.C. wines. 88.
Alderlea Vineyards 2009 Bacchus ($16). The spicy aromatics of Bacchus can be over the top sometimes – but not here. This is complex wine with tangy orange peel and spice flavours, none of which will overpower food. 89.
Alderlea Vineyards 2006 Pinot Noir Reserve ($32). The wine begins with aromas of plums and black cherries which carry through to the flavours. The texture is classically silky but the wine has the structure to age for another several years. 89.
Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars 2008 Pinot Blanc ($18). The wine is crisp and disciplined, with fresh, clean tastes of citrus and green apples. 88.
Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars 2008 Pinot Gris ($21). An attractive fresh, crisp white with flavours of pears and citrus and a hint anise on the finish. 89-90.
Blue Mountain Vineyards & Cellars 2008 Pinot Noir ($25). Since opening in 1992, this winery has been a leader in Okanagan Pinot Noirs. This is a delicious wine, full of fruit flavours, with a velvet texture and an elegant, finessed finish. 90.
Jackson-Triggs 2007 SunRock Shiraz ($34.99). This winery offers three different Shiraz wines and at least one Shiraz-Cabernet blend and all are good. But this single vineyard Shiraz really stands out – a bold, ripe wine with rich spicy fruit flavours recalling a Christmas pudding. 92.
Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery 2009 Unwooded Chardonnay ($15). It would be great to have a few bottles of this chilled for whenever the thirst hits. It has fresh, tangy citrus and peach flavours and the vivacity you get from New Zealand whites. 87.
Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery 2007 Summit Pinot Noir ($20). This wine, which has a silky texture and aromas and flavours of strawberry, delivers great value in a budget-priced Pinot. 88.
Muse Winery 2007 Grande Dame Rouge ($34.90). This blend of five Bordeaux varietals is from a Vancouver Island winery that makes wines both from island grapes and, in the case of its Big Red, from Okanagan grapes. This wine has a deep colour and flavours of spice, plum, currants and chocolate, with long, ripe tannins. 89.
Peller Estates 2008 Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon ($19.99). This may be the best budget-priced Cabernet in B.C., with flavours of currants and spice and with long ripe tannins, giving it body and the potential for aging a few years. 88.
Peller Estates 2008 Family Series Merlot ($14.49). Here is screaming good value, a generous, soft-textured Merlot with blackberry and blueberry flavours. 88,
Rocky Creek Winery 2008 Pinot Noir ($21.90). In a tough vintage, winemaker Mark Holford concentrated the fruit flavours and the colour by bleeding off some juice for rosé. This is a clean, fresh Pinot Noir with hints of raspberry. 87.
Salt Spring Vineyards 2009 Blattner White ($N.A.). This wine is so new that the winery has not yet come up with a proprietary name. It is a blend of Petit Milo and Epicure, two white varieties created by Swiss breeder Valentin Blattner. These are early-ripening varieties. In last year's summer the winery was surprised by how fast the grapes ripened. The outcome is a lovely honeyed wine with enough acidity still to have a tangy finish. A conversation piece and there are only 100 cases. 88.
Salt Spring Vineyards Karma 2007 ($34.90). A traditional sparkling wine made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the current release has spent 18 months in bottle. The next release of this same vintage is due in about six months. The strategy is to monitor the impact of aging on the wine's acidity. This release is dry and steely and crisp. 87.
Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse Wild English 2008 ($12 for a half litre). The product gets its name from the fact that juice of English cider apples was fermented with natural yeast. The tangy apple flavours and the spine of light tannins give this dry cider a clean, refreshing finish. 90
Seven Stones 2008 Pinot Noir ($28). Another attractive velvet-texture red with notes of strawberry and cherry. The finish of this delicious wine lingers and lingers. 88-90.
Seven Stones 2008 Row 128 Merlot ($25). Owner and winemaker George Hanson says this Merlot grows in a part of his vineyard that has an almost spiritual ambiance to it. You can imagine how he treats the grapes. This juicy Merlot has bright fruit flavours of cherry and plum with a hint of spice, likely from 18 months the wine was in barrel. 90.
Starling Lane Celebration N.V. ($N.A.) Made in the traditional Champagne style, this is a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The latter variety gives the wine a hint of colour and fruity flavours. In a blind tasting you might mistake this for Champagne, with its toasty notes, its fruit, its fine bubbles and its long, long finish. This is sold out at the winery but the next release is due this fall. 90.
Therapy Vineyards 2008 Chardonnay ($N.A.). This is a classic barrel-aged Chardonnay, with complex flavours of citrus, butterscotch and cloves. 89-90.
Therapy Vineyards 2007 Freud's Ego ($16). Great value, this delicious wine has gobs of black cherry and currant flavours, with ripe tannins. A terrific Bordeaux blend at this price. 90.
Venturi Schulze Vineyards 2009 Millefiori ($23). This pristine and focussed aromatic white, a blend of Ortega and Siegerrebe, has a lovely aroma of tropical flowers and fruits, leading to vivid flavours of tropical fruits. The finish is crisp and refreshing. 90. The winery also offers a barrel-aged wine, Terracotta 2009 (also 90), from the same two grapes. Winemaker Giordano Venturi said he wanted to make a wine like an old-fashioned Burgundy. I think he succeeded.
Venturi Schulze Vineyards Brut Naturel 2007 ($32). The elegant and dry sparkling wine is made in the traditional Champagne method, spending enough time in the bottle on yeast less to acquire a classic bready aroma. The flavours are delicately fruity.

In the market for a new ride? Consumer Reports is out with its annual auto issue that includes a list of top car picks. These are the top-performing models that are reliable, safe and satisfying.
Small SUVs are the now most popular cars on the road. Topping the list in that category, the Subaru Forester, which Consumer Reports says "sets the standard for small SUVs" with excellent fuel economy, super-easy visibility, and top-notch safety ratings.
If a midsize sedan is more your style, the Kia Optima beats out the Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. It's stylish, responsive and a good value at around 25-thousand dollars.
Need a smaller car at a great value? The roomy Chevrolet Cruze has a smooth and quiet ride with very impressive fuel economy — 47 miles per gallon on the highway! And its overall score in CR's testing beats the popular Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.
Looking for a new compact pickup? In Consumer Reports testing, the redesigned Honda Ridgeline handles and rides far better than any other pickup. It also gets impressive gas mileage and has a versatile tailgate and under-bed storage.
Consumer Reports looks at data across an entire model line to come up with a brand report card. This year, the top-3, they're all German automakers–Audi, Porsche and BMW. At the bottom of that brand report card were Mitsubishi, Jeep and Fiat.

From this page investigators may estimate the integration time and/or signal-to-noise for a spectroscopic observation for a selected telescope and instrument. These forms are Web interfaces to the IRAF package SPECTIME. (See the help page for details.)
This exposure time calculator is still being developed and compared to existing calibration data. We caution that many of the observing modes available at the telescope are not yet included in this simulator. Furthermore, some of the modes which are included have only been partially verified (e.g., in some cases extrapolations have had to be made). As modes are verified we will add them to the simulator. Questions or problems can be directed for now to email@example.com.
KPNO and CTIO also maintain other Web tools for helping investigators to determine spectroscopic needs and exposure times. See the KPNO tool at http://www.noao.edu/kpno/spectroscopy/spect.html for predicting a telescope/spectrograph combination based on input parameters. CTIO supports exposure time calculators for many of their optical spectrographs - see http://www.ctio.noao.edu/spectrographs/spectrographs.html. The Gemini Observatory maintains calculators for its facility instruments.

Material and Human Potential Compared
June 21, 2013
In a world where infinite growth is the measure of national and worldwide prosperity, and material wealth a ruler to quantify a value of one class or person over another, evaluating a group or individual's success and place in history by status, fame, notoriety, infamy, or dominant control based in the material, in a space of finite material, is true folly.
There is only one thing infinite that we may use to value the progress made as a group, or the life of an individually before their passing. From the least among us, to the most capable, from the smallest town, to the largest country, the only fair assessment we can make, compares us to our potential.
Staggering here is, considering we're already born with a terminal disease called life, and throughout history all the most powerful governments and empires have fallen, by comparing ourselves to our potential, we will always fall short. This is the infinite measure, when the material is finite.
To the physical human, there is little real material need, but created by the human is want. Want being partly cause by a lack of possible achieved potential. Though some have started to limit fulfilling wants, coming to understand the flaw in the present material gauge of success. The only possible gauge, the only area in which the bar can always be raised, is our moral ethical and intellectual potential.
Individuals, groups, and all humanity, have real unlimited potential, which we must strive to meet. Take note however, the only way in which we are closing in on our potential, is by using up all of our potential personal and group resources before looking towards our real potentials. Maybe when material has lost some of its glitter and meaning by it absences, we will finally look at all that could have been.
Sadly, even if it comes to pass in our future, that we gain this understanding and finally begin striving to reach our true potentials, we never will. This achievement by each human or our entire species won't happen. It won't happen because of the selfishness of this time in human history for the material. Our time is the destroyer of future Humans and Humanities chance to see what could have been, simply because of our worship of the material wealth and those with it.

Is there a standard notation (perhaps $A \stackrel{\leftarrow}{=} B$) meaning "in all situations where $B$ is defined, $A$ is defined and equals $B$"?
The kind of situation in which such a notation would be useful is the teaching of formulas like $$\lim_{x \rightarrow a} (f(x)-g(x)) = \lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) - \lim_{x \rightarrow a} g(x).$$ When I teach such formulas I take pains to teach them as theorems, with hypotheses that must be satisfied (in this case, the existence of $\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x)$ and $\lim_{x \rightarrow a} g(x)$) before the truth of the formula can be concluded, and I call to the students' attention the asymmetry of the situation (whenever the RHS is defined the LHS is defined and must be equal to it, but it is emphatically NOT always the case that when the LHS is defined the RHS must be defined and must be equal to it). I feel that one way to help students remember what the theorem says would be to use a variant of the equals sign when summarizing the theorem by a formula.
Has anyone introduced such a symbol? I think it would be at least as useful as the ":=" ("is defined as") symbol.

The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), the world's largest sports medicine and exercise science organization has just published information on "Selecting Running Shoes".
What's interesting about this publication is its similarities in the way we think, design and recommend running shoes and footwear as a whole.
For any runner, from a sub-3 marathon runner to a once a week fun runner, selecting the right footwear is important. Running trainers are the tools you need to get you to the end of your race, over the finish line or another lap around the park.
Having said that, there are a couple of things that are a bit more important than the shoes: yourrunning biomechanics and your anatomy. It's all about your technique and your feet, legs, and whole body.
According to ACSM: "A running shoe […] should not do the work of the foot by providing excessive cushioning and lots of extra support in the arch." We couldn't have put it better ourselves: "A shoe should complement a strong foot."
Running trainers are important but only in so much as they should let your feet behave freely, protect you from the environment and provide the right amount of grip for the terrain or activity. If they don't do any of these things then having good technique or letting your feet and legs perform correctly will be difficult.
So, it's all about picking the right tools for the job and letting your feet do their thing.
In their recent publication, the ACSM stated the following characteristics for a good running shoe:
Minimal heel-to-toe drop: shoes with no drop or a small drop 6mm or less are the best choice for allowing the foot to normally support loading during each gait cycle.
VIVOBAREFOOT have always made footwear that have zero heel to toe drop to ensure your foot can provide natural shock absorption. The foot will be able to be flat on the ground enabling good posture as the angles of the ankle, knee, hips and/or back will not have to compensate.
Neutral: This means the shoe does not contain motion control or stability components. These extra components interfere with normal foot motion during weight bearing.
This is a no-brainer, right? You wouldn't support a bridge from underneath nor can you expect a foot to gain strength and fulfil its evolutionary role by interfering with it in this manner.
Light in weight: (10 ounces or less for a men's size 9; 8 ounces or less for women's size 8)
Be sure the shoe has a wide toe box. You should be able to wiggle your toes easily. Narrow toe boxes do not permit the normal splay, or spread of the foot bones during running.
We make our shoes wide enough for your feet to splay and recoil and provide all the natural motion control you need to keep balanced as well as propel yourself forwards efficiently.
There wasn't a mention of sensory feedback in the article. We regard the nervous system and in particular the relevancy of the receptors in the feet and legs and the brain – and the communication system between these two.
It was only 3 years ago that the ACSM recommended footwear based on arch type, something that we subsequently understand is misleading. The true extent of the flexibility and characteristics of the foot is becoming clearer. And since then the ACSM, which is "dedicated to advancing and integrating scientific research to provide educational and practical applications of exercise science and sports medicine", has scrapped this approach changed its thinking on the prescription on running shoes.
So there you have it: times are changing, people are thinking about their feet, and the truth is beginning to surface.
Is this evidence that the paradigm shift in modern human movement is surfacing again? We think so and this latest release from the ACSM seems to suggest an improved understanding in foot function, biomechanics and the role of healthy and functional footwear.
Check out our range of movement shoes and let your feet fo their thing.

(Pocket-lint) - The 3D revolution seems inevitable. Analysts predict a massive take up of 3D TVs, as much as 45 per cent of all models sold by 2014, and 3D theatrical releases continue to rake in healthy box-office revenues. Both studios and PPV operators are licking their lips and fast-tracking their 3D propositions.
But what if the future of 3D in the home doesn't lie with the likes of Hollywood or Sky? What if 3D is destined to be something you make yourself, to share on a communal level - holiday photographs or videos of the kids growing up?
Having spent some time with Panasonic's remarkable HDC-SDT750 3D camcorder, we've come to the conclusion that there's something altogether more compelling about the 3D experience when it becomes personal.
It looks like the consumer electronics industry may be starting to think along the same lines. In addition to this debut consumer camcorder, Panasonic is also touting its first digital cameras compatible with a 3D lens, the Micro Four Thirds format Lumix GH2 and GF2. Others are also getting in on the act. FujiFilm has its own second-generation 3D snapper, the REAL 3D W3, and Sony has made a tentative move with a 3D Sweep Panorama mode on its WX5 and TX9 Cyber-Shots. Are we witnessing the tip of a DIY 3D iceberg?
The HDC-SDT750 is the offspring of a marriage between the brand's 18,000 euro AG-3DA1 (used to shoot the French Open earlier this year), and the altogether more modest HDC-STD700. Like the prosumer 3DA1, it records 3D in a side-by-side format. This means image resolution is not high-def, instead the 1920 x 1080 frame is split in two to create a stereoscopic pairing. But without its bolt-on conversion lens and 3D gubbins, it's basically an £800 (or less) AVCHD 2D camcorder.
We were impressed with the handling of the camcorder, sans conversion lens. Weighing 375g (without battery), it sits very comfortably in the hand. At the heart of the SDT750 is a high-performance 3MOS imager, comprising a trio of 3.05-megapixel panels. Allied to some impressive noise reduction circuitry and Leica Dicomar lens, this makes it a surprisingly good performer in less than ideal light levels.
High-def footage (shot at 1080/50p) looks extremely vibrant. Recordings are rich in detail with excellent stability and negligible noise. Naturally, you can also use the camera for digital stills. Its effective comparable camera resolution is 7.59 megapixels when shooting 16:9. The SDT750 records onto SD, SDHC and high-capacity SDXC cards.
The good news is you don't need to be James Cameron to get decent results. An extremely forgiving Intelligent Auto (iA) system ensures your footage is always crisp, while the latest generation of Panasonic's HYBRID O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization) technology makes even a stroll around the park look like a steadycam show-reel. Of course, if you do hanker to take the camera off auto pilot, there's a variety of manual modes and scene specific options to explore.
Unfortunately, much of this sophistication goes out the window when you bolt on the twin-lens 3D converter. You no longer have access to the electronic zoom or manual ring control, the zoom mic, iA system or face detection. There's also a significant trade off in resolution. The balance of the camcorder also shifts completely, as the lens adds another 196g to the package. You end up cradling the HDC-SD750 with two hands, and developing a slight stoop. But heck, you're suddenly shooting in 3D. Get over it.
The cap of the conversion lens is itself a stereographic alignment tool. The set-up process needs to be done each time the conversion lens is attached, but only involves adjusting vertical and horizontal lines on the 3-inch touchscreen display. It takes a few minutes.
Overall, we were impressed with the camcorder's 3D performance. Careful composition is key to getting the best 3D results. You'll need to get into the habit of framing images with clear foreground elements, to create a sense of depth. Obviously don't get too carried away with this else the results will look extremely silly. Cars driving toward the camera remain largely two dimensional. However lower the POV, and include roadside foliage close up, and vehicles travelling toward the lens become much more 3D-ramatic.
Of course, scenes of general family fun and talking heads can also hold unexpected interest when viewed in 3D. We also found the process adds particular interest to landscapes and wildlife photography.
Footage, both 2 and 3D, can be output directly from the mini HDMI on the camcorder. More convenient though is to pop the SD card directly into a 3D compatible screen. Panasonic's latest VT20 models are fully compliant with 3D footage from this camcorder.
Panasonic brings 3D creativity to the home user - and it turns out to be a lot more entertaining than watching a ceaseless cavalcade of big-screen 3D 'toons. The HDC-SDT750 is essentially the HDC-SDT700 shipped with a conversion lens the size of a tangerine. Once you're over the limitations it imposes, shooting in 3D becomes rather addictive. Home movies take on a fresh appeal, and we predict a whole new business opportunity for forward-thinking wedding videographers.

Four days prior to the much-anticipated "UFC 124: St-Pierre vs. Koscheck" event, Ultimate Fighting Championship officials will host a fan event in Toronto.
The free event takes place this coming Tuesday, Dec. 7.
UFC President Dana White, UFC Director of Canadian Operations Tom Wright, and Canadian UFC fighters Sam Stout and Claude Patrick take part in Q&A and autograph sessions.
The Q&A session with White and Wright takes place from 3-4 p.m. ET (local time) at the Real Sports Bar & Grill in Maple Leaf Square.
Stout and Patrick then sign autographs from 4-6 p.m. ET at Real Sports Apparel.
Four days later, the UFC heads to Montreal's Bell Centre for UFC 124, a pay-per-view event that serves as the UFC's final show of 2011. UFC welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre meets top contender Josh Koscheck, who served as a rival coach on "The Ultimate Fighter 12," in the headliner.
Although no official announcements have been made, the UFC is expected to make its Toronto debut in 2011. The city, which adopted MMA regulation back in August, has hosted other UFC fan events.
UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs Marc Ratner recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) a Toronto fight event has been years in the making.
"This has been almost a three-year gestation period," Ratner said. "We've been going up to Toronto a lot. We're very, very excited.

Something to Think About
Pilot Study Showed Concord Grape Juice Helped Improve Memory Measures in Older Adult
CONCORD, Mass., February 1, 2010 - In addition to the decade's worth of cardiovascular research on Concord grape juice, a recent pilot study showed that consuming Concord grape juice improved memory measures in a group of older adults.1
Cognitive Decline
Although forgetfulness is associated with normal aging, it can also be a sign of one of many cognitive impairments.1,2,3 According to Krikorian et al., "Regulation of inflammation generally is reduced with aging, and accelerated inflammation is implicated in [certain] neurodegenerative disorders…."1 Concord grapes contain polyphenols, plant nutrients which have anti-inflammatory properties.4This reduction in inflammation is thought to be one potential mechanism leading to the beneficial effect on cognitive function in older adults.1,5
Concord Grape Juice and Cognitive Health
In a study published by the British Journal of Nutrition, Dr. Robert Krikorian showed that drinking Concord grape juice promoted memory function in a group of older adults with early memory decline. Twelve participants, with an average age of 78.2 (+ 5 years), were enrolled in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study in which they consumed Concord grape juice or a grape-flavored drink (the placebo) daily. Specifically, the study showed that the five adults consuming Concord grape juice for 12 weeks experienced a significant improvement in list learning and trends suggested improvements in two additional memory measures (verbal recall and spatial memory) relative to those consuming the placebo.1
Although it is too early to draw any conclusions about the effect of Concord grape juice on memory, this study is an exciting addition to the existing body of research on Concord grape juice and cardiovascular health that has been developed over more than a decade.4,6-14

Dr. Krikorian commented, "Our preliminary findings suggest that supplementing the diet with Concord grape juice may provide benefit for older adults with early memory changes."

Fighter jets over Pyongyang as DPRK readies rocket
Fighter jets roared through the skies over downtown Pyongyang on Thursday as the world watched to see whether North Korea would defy international warnings and launch a long-range rocket over the Yellow Sea.
The five-day window for the launch of a rocket mounted with an observation satellite opened Thursday as North Koreans woke to details about developments at a Workers' Party conference where leader Kim Jong Un ascended to top posts and brought with him a new generation of officials.
His father, Kim Jong Il, was granted the posthumous title of "eternal general secretary" at the special one-day party conference Wednesday. The immortalization of the late leader provided a glimpse into how North Korea will handle the nation's second hereditary succession and indicates he will be honored much in the same way his father, Kim Il Sung, was made "eternal president" following his 1994 death.
Footage on state TV on Thursday showed Kim Jong Un seated at the front of the conference with white statues of his grandfather and a new statue of his father in his trademark khaki work ensemble, one arm on his hip. On Mansu Hill, once the domain of a huge bronze statue of Kim Il Sung, a second covered statue awaits its unveiling.
There was no word Thursday morning on the timing of the controversial rocket launch, which the North has said will take place sometime between Thursday and Monday. In 2009, a similar launch from an east coast site took place on the second day of a five-day window.
The United States, Japan, Britain and others say the launch would constitute a provocation and would violate U.N. Security Council resolutions banning North Korea from developing its nuclear and missile programs.
Experts say the Unha-3 carrier is similar to the type of rocket that could be used to fire a missile mounted with a nuclear warhead to strike the U.S. or other targets.
The launch and Kim's formal ascension to top posts comes during a week of events leading up to celebrations Sunday marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of his grandfather, late President Kim Il Sung.
The centennial is a major milestone in the nation Kim founded in 1948, and the streets of the capital, Pyongyang, were awash with new posters, banners and the national flag. The streets were busy with women clad in traditional Korean dresses and children waving red flags.
The Taedong River flyover of fighter jets was practice for a military parade, officials said. North Korea's army celebrates its 80th anniversary later this month.
The expected satellite launch is one of the marquee events this week. North Korean space officials call the launch of the Unha-3 rocket, mounted with an Earth observation satellite, a "gift" to Kim Il Sung. They said Wednesday that the final step of injecting fuel into the three-stage rocket was under way in the coastal hamlet of Tongchang-ri.
"We are injecting fuel as we speak," Paek Chang Ho, chief of the space committee's General Command Center, told reporters given a chance Wednesday to visit the control center outside Pyongyang.
He said the rocket was ready for liftoff as soon as engineers are given the green light. North Korea has informed international aviation, maritime and telecommunications authorities that the launch will take place between Thursday and Monday.
Because liquid rocket fuel is highly volatile and corrosive, its injection into the rocket is usually one of the final steps in the pre-launch process, experts say. But the weather, and particularly the wind, could force delays.
An analysis of recent satellite images shows preparations appear compete, the U.S.-Korea Institute at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies said.
Images taken by a commercial satellite earlier in the week revealed increased activity at an instrumentation site that would track and collect data from the rocket to be passed to the launch control center.
A mobile radar tracking antenna also was removed from its stowed position, indicating it has been checked out for operations. The analysis for the institute's website, 38 North, also says a mobile optical system appears to have been set up to track the rocket's flight.
The planned launch was a focus of discussions among foreign ministers from the Group of Eight leading industrialized democracies.
"I think we all share a strong interest in stability on the Korean peninsula, and we will be discussing how best to achieve that as well," U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told her colleagues Wednesday in Washington.
Paek denied Wednesday that the launch was anything but a peaceful civilian bid to send a satellite into space. He said the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite is designed to send back images and data that will be used for weather forecasts and agricultural surveys.
"Some parties insist our peaceful space program is a missile test," he told foreign reporters given an exclusive tour of the nation's main satellite command center. "We don't really care what the outside world thinks. This launch is critical to developing our space program and improving our economy."
This satellite launch would be the country's third attempt since 1998. Two previous rockets, also named Unha, were mounted with experimental communications satellites and sent from the east coast.
"The launch of the Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite is the pride of our nation and of our people," Rim Kwang Myong, a mathematics major at Kim Il Sung University, told The Associated Press.
Science and technology also are said to be Kim Jong Un's areas of expertise, and Kim is credited with giving guidance during the last launch in 2009.
Kim is considered supreme commander of the armed forces, and is expected to gain other new titles formalizing his position as "supreme leader" of North Korea's people and party, possibly including his father's title of chairman of the National Defense Commission.
On Wednesday, he was made first secretary of the Workers' Party, a newly created post. He also succeeded his late father as chairman of the Central Military Commission, which formulates the party's military policies, and was elevated to standing member of the powerful Political Bureau, a high-level decision-making body.
Party delegates also elected a new generation of younger officials to key posts, including Choe Ryong Hae, a new vice marshal who will join Kim on the powerful Presidium of the Central Committee's Political Bureau.
Ken Gause, a North Korea specialist at CNA, a U.S.-based research organization, said younger members also were promoted at the last party conference in September 2010, when Kim Jong Un was made vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.
"I expect in the near future, as Kim Jong Un begins to consolidate his power, we will see more," he said in an email interview.
Six other people were named to the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, including Jang Song Thaek, who is married to Kim Jong Il's sister, Kim Kyong Hui.
Associated Press writers Tim Sullivan in Pyongyang, Matthew Pennington in Washington, and Foster Klug and Sam Kim in Seoul, South Korea, contributed to this report.

Because of the cross domain security restrictions in most Javascript implementations, it's normally impossible for one HTML document to communicate with another frame, popup, or iframe unless the two pages are served from the same domain. James Burke came up with a clever solution to this problem, allowing bidirectional communication between a parent window and it's iframe or popup.
The trick is to use the fragment identifier, that portion of the url after the # which is normally used to identify a named anchor, to pass messages between the documents. Since the javascript in both documents can retreive the other window's location, and since changing the location to a new anchor doesn't involve a page refresh, the two windows can talk to eachother. It's as simple as setting an interval on each end to poll the other window's location for changes.
