Cold season can extend from fall well into spring. It is worth spending a moment discussing the best natural additions to our medicine chests for successfully fighting off symptoms such as runny and stuffy noses, sore throats, and coughs.

One of the most exciting new options is a root extract—a member of the geranium family known as Pelargonium sidoides. Traditionally used by the Zulu to treat coughs, upper respiratory tract irritations, and even tuberculosis (TB), the extract has been studied extensively in over 5,000 adults and children, and successfully and safely treats the common cold and shortens the severity and duration of hard-to-treat conditions such as bronchitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis. The real bonus is the ability of this unique natural medicine to treat the underlying causes of these conditions while keeping the immune system strong—results sorely missing with the use of conventional cold products and antibiotics.

Native to the coastal regions of South Africa, Pelargonium sidoides was described as "umKhulkane" (denoting respiratory infection) and "uHlabo" (roughly meaning chest pain) by the Zulu. The herbal remedy was introduced to Europeans in the late 19th century by the Englishman and TB-sufferer, Charles Stevens. On a trip to South Africa to seek a cure for TB, he consulted a tribal healer who gave him a strong concoction of Pelargonium sidoides root. Fully recovered, he returned to England with this new remedy and popularized it throughout Europe as "Steven's Consumption Cure."

The rediscovery of the root extract occurred in Germany where a standardized product known as Umckaloabo® has been approved for the treatment of bronchitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis. The overwhelming success of the product has led to its recent introduction to the United States as Umcka Coldcare from Nature's Way Products.

While there are many traditional remedies for the common cold, bronchitis, tonsillitis, and sinusitis, many lack necessary clinical studies to support their effectiveness and safety. Not so with the standardized root extract of Pelargonium sidoides. Specific findings include:

Common Cold: A recent study gave 93 adults suffering the common cold either Pelargonium sidoides root extract (30 drops or 1.5 mL three times per day) or a placebo for 10 days. By the fifth day, the majority of participants taking the herbal extract reported not only feeling better, but were back to almost 75 percent of their normal level of activity. Those taking the placebo didn't feel much better and were at only about 50 percent of normal activity. By day 10, 82 percent of those taking the herbal remedy were back to their normal daily routine compared to only 54 percent of those taking the placebo.

Bronchitis: A clinical study treated 468 adults with bronchitis with either the Pelargonium sidoides root extract (30 drops three times per day) or a placebo. Treated for only seven days, symptoms such as cough, chest pain, sputum production, and shortness of breath, were reduced by almost 50 percent in those persons taking the herbal extract compared to those taking the placebo. Coughing either improved or disappeared in 89 percent of those taking Pelargonium sidoides compared to only 57 percent of those taking the placebo.

Tonsillitis: Sore throats in children are a challenging condition for parents and healthcare professionals to manage. Once the possibility of strep-throat is ruled out, many children can be treated without antibiotics. A study gave 143 children (ages six to 10) with non-strep tonsillitis either Pelargonium sidoides root extract (20 drops or 1 mL three times per day) or a placebo for six days. Notable was the finding that by day 2 of treatment, children taking the herbal extract were already reporting symptom relief. By day 6, these kids were reporting almost complete absence of sore throat and swallowing difficulties. By the end of the study, almost 81 percent of the children taking the herbal remedy were back at school compared to only 21 percent taking the placebo.

Sinusitis: A frustrating and difficult condition to treat, sinusitis is often a recurring problem and resistant to repeated antibiotic use. A new study has shown that using Pelargonium sidoides root extract (60 drops or 3 mL three times per day) for 21 days dramatically reduces not only symptom severity in adults with acute sinusitis, but also improves sinus health. Using x-rays to check for sinus congestion, the study found that almost 98 percent of those taking the herbal extract had normal x-rays by the end of the study compared to only 10 percent of those taking a placebo. Notable is that none of the participants took antibiotics.

As stated above, the researched Pelargonium sidoides root product used in these clinical studies is available in the product Umcka® Coldcare™ from Nature's Way. The safety and effectiveness of this extract for both adults and children makes it a must-have for any natural medicine cabinet.

Raiders improving every week after opening loss
by Ericka Birdsong

East Paulding football player Thomas Medley practices recently.
East Paulding football player Thomas Medley practices recently.
Despite losing several major players on offense and the season opener, head coach Chuck Goddard said not to count the Raiders out.

The Raiders hadn’t lost a season opener since 2005, and advanced to the state playoffs six of the past seven years, winning two region championships in the process.

However, East Paulding seemed to lose its powerhouse status when the Raiders lost to North Paulding, 27-13, in the season opener. Winning every game since then, and now with a 4-1 record, Goddard can’t understand why his team was being doubted.

“The team is getting better every week. We beat an undefeated New Manchester 24-10. Offensively we haven’t done great, but we graduated seven quality players and [quarterback] Mitchell Webb went down against North Paulding,” said Goddard.

Webb suffered a separated shoulder against the Wolfpack and Goddard said he will return to play in the Oct. 11 game against Hiram.

Goddard said losing Webb made a difference, but turnovers were a big issue against the Wolfpack as well. Up 7-6 with five minutes left in the first half, turnovers allowed North to take a 21-7 lead just before the half.

However, Goddard said, “Neither team was an offensive juggernaut.”

While the Raiders may lack some experience on the offensive side, they have a solid defense. After four games, East had the second best defense in the region as they only gave up an average of 11 points a game – behind Allatoona with an average of 3.5 points allowed.

In the victory against New Manchester, East Paulding prevented the Jaguars from scoring at all in the first half and only allowed them a final touchdown in the fourth quarter.

With the second half of the season ahead of them, Goddard is confident in his team and the results they will produce on the field.

“The offensive line is getting better and our young backs are learning to run hard. The season is going just as I thought it would. I like the kids we have now and they’re getting better and we’re going to be fine,” said Goddard.

March 31 set for Brookhaven City Hall move-in
by LaTria Garnigan
March 05, 2014 11:03 AM | 1935 views | 0 0 comments | 4 4 recommendations | email to a friend | print
Staff / Katherine Frye /
Brookhaven City Hall will settle at its new permanent location on Peachtree Road with the expectation of opening in the spring.
Staff / Katherine Frye / Brookhaven City Hall will settle at its new permanent location on Peachtree Road with the expectation of opening in the spring.
Brookhaven City Manager Marie L. Garrett said the city is eyeing March 31 as the potential date to move into the new permanent city hall building — the former Georgia State University building, adjacent to Oglethorpe University and Town Brookhaven at 4362 Peachtree Road.

“The move-in date is the weekend of March 31,” said Garrett at last week’s city council meeting. “We expect we will be moving in. They’ve [contractors] removed asbestos and mold and next is the installation of the sprinkler system, taking down walls and building out offices for us.”

Garrett also gave an update on the parks purchase during the meeting. She said city staff will be back at Tuesday’s council meeting with “the purchasing of all city parks.”

“We are grouping them all together except Brookhaven Park — that will be a separate purchase,” said Garrett. “We’re doing the environmental assessments now on all of the parks and we will not have anything to inhibit us to come back March 11 with that purchase.”

Because of the recent snow storms, city council members heard several rescheduled rezoning requests — with only one being approved. The rest were deferred to later dates. Requests by one developer that involved development of 500 multi-family units, three parking decks, a height variance and high-rise apartments were deferred until the April 22 city council meeting. They will go before the planning commission April 2, with a revision to the planning commission by March 10.

A controversial rezoning request that involved the owner of Nuts ‘N Berries in Brookhaven for the building of a parking lot was deferred until the June 10 city council meeting, with a hearing before the planning commission June 4 — to give the property owner more time to meet with the community and to revise plans.

Several residents of the Kendrick Road area spoke out against the request saying it would set a dangerous precedent of development in the city and would cause an increase in traffic that has already been elevated due to Town Brookhaven.

“We respect the concerns of the neighborhood,” said Councilman Bates Mattison. “It’s important your concerns are heard, but as a council, I think it’s judicious to allow parties to have the chance to negotiate.”

Mayor J. Max Davis said pressing the reset button is very important in this case.

“I try to promote people talking,” he said. “If you can’t agree, you can’t agree. Not talking is not healthy for the community — it’s always best to talk to one another and have a dialogue.”

Brookhaven resident Courtney Dufries had his rezoning request to change his property at 1458 Etowah Drive, NE, from an R-75 to R-50 approved. Dufries plans to construct three single-family homes on the lot. Community Development Director/Assistant City Manager Susan Canon said the proposal was consistent with the neighborhood’s traditional character and that approval would not appear to affect adjacent properties.

“Before I brought the proposal, I met with all the neighbors and got 15 signatures with all property owners who have expressed no objection to this,” said Dufries. “It does not adversely affect any of the other properties, so this is very consistent with the block.”

Sears 2013 Canadian Black Friday

Sears Canada released its 2013 Black Friday ad, revealing some serious deals on household goods, furniture, tools, and kitchenware. While Americans may still have to sit at home biting their nails until Sears releases their U.S. ad leak, they can still search the Canadian ad scan for deals they might also hope to reap back at home.

The most eye-catching sale also happens to grace the front page of the ad scan. Sears offers at whopping 55% off of a 3-pc Frigidaire stainless steel kitchen set which includes a fridge, convection range smooth-top stove, and stainless steel dishwasher. The price comes out to $1,999.97 after a gigantic $2,400 deduction!

Other notable sale items included:

  • $800 savings on a Kenmore, stainless steel French door fridge
  • $499.99 for Porto, Taurus, and Hollister leather sofas (up to $600 in savings)
  • 70% off of Nordictrack treadmill
  • 60% off of Sealy, WholeHome, Sealy Posturepedic, Serta, and Kings Down Queen size mattresses
  • 55% off of Kitchenaid stand mixers
  • Up to 75% off of Craftmen tools, including wrench and screwdriver sets, cordless power tools and snow throwers

Canada’s 2013 ad is small in comparison to Sears’ U.S. ad scans of the past. It’s worth noting that although both ads emphasized furniture and tools, the U.S. ads also included great deals on clothing. This difference is definitely worth anticipating as American shoppers start planning ahead for their holiday shopping this year.

Sears’ 2013 Black Friday ad scan leak is coming soon! Be sure to keep an eye out for it on NerdWallet’s Black Friday page.

Best Sears Black Friday Deals from 2012

Sears set a high bar for Black Friday sales last year when they released the largest ad by far at a whopping 64 pages. The release advertised over 1000 Black Friday doorbusters, and while not every single price was a major bargain, Sears didn’t disappoint shoppers looking for tools, exercise equipment and apparel at a steep discount.

Check out a few of the heavy hitters:

  • 50” LED Toshiba HDTV: $299.99 ($600 off)
  • NordicTrack T5.7 treadmill: $499.99 ($400 off)
  • Kenmore Elite 31-cu. ft. refrigerator: $2099.99 ($1660 off)
  • Craftsman 22-drawer premium heavy-duty tool chest: $699.99 (over $700 off)
  • Craftsman wrench sets: $29.99 each (62-66% off)
  • Craftsman C3 19.2 volt compact lithium-ion drill/driver: $49.99 (was $119.99)

The store’s relatively small selection of men’s and women’s shoes and kids’ apparel was redeemed by serious discounts on those items, with most of those items priced at 50-60% off.

  • $39.99 Nordic Track winter coats for men (60% off)
  • $19.99 Dockers or Arrow sweaters for men (60% off)
  • 70% off all wool coats for misses and ladies plus
  • 60% off cold weather accessories for women
  • $4.99 Toughskins mix & match separates for infants (orig. $12)
  • $15.99 Performance Gear bubble jackets for kids (orig. $60-$75)

Other kids’ apparel marked at 60% off:

  • Coats and cold weather accessories for kids
  • Carter’s, Joe Boxer and character sleepwear for kids
  • Fleece hoodies and pants for boys and girls
  • Dresses and boys’ dress up for a wide age range

Likewise, the limited variety of fine jewelry was massively discounted at up to nearly 95% off:

  • Over 30 styles of 1ct diamond jewelry: $99.99 (orig. $499.99)
  • 4ct diamond ring in 10k gold: $2899.99 (orig. $11999.99)
  • Over 10 styles of 2ct diamond jewelry: $99.99 (orig. $599.99)
  • 75% off all gold and sterling silver chains
  • 3/4 ct diamond rings in 10k gold: $599.99 (orig. $2999.99)

On top of those deals, Sears offered shoppers $10 off any purchase of $40 or more from 8pm Thanksgiving Day through 1pm on Friday. With sales starting Thanksgiving Day and running all night long at some locations, stores across the country were mobbed by the usual overzealous crowds.

A San Antonio Sears location made headlines when tensions nearly came to a violent head between shoppers waiting to enter the store. A man trying to cut in line incurred the ire of fellow shoppers, who became verbally aggressive toward the line cutter until he punched another man in the face. The man he punched then drew a handgun, and though police were summoned, no arrest was made. Happily, no one was injured and shoppers ultimately entered the store without further incident.

Sears Black Friday Store Hours

Sears will be making their doorbusters available from 8pm Thanksgiving evening through 1pm Friday afternoon, making this the second year the department stores has opened its doors on Thanksgiving. Be sure to check out NerdWallet’s Black Friday store hours page to see opening times for all your favorite stores in one place.

Alacritus and Network Appliance Deliver Advanced Virtual Tape Library

Pleasanton, Calif. - December 7, 2004 - Alacritus Software today announced that it has teamed with Network Appliance (NASDAQ:NTAP) to provide an advanced virtual tape library solution. The solution is based on Alacritus' Securitus® software and NetApp® NearStore® or FAS storage systems. The combined solution can be used as a high-performance and highly reliable virtual library system for backing up both NetApp storage as well as UNIX® and Windows® servers. The solution is certified with backup software from Bakbone, CA, CommVault, Dantz, EMC/Legato, HP, IBM and VERITAS.

A virtual tape library device enables a disk storage system to look exactly like one or more tape libraries to the backup application. It is the easiest way to incorporate disks into a backup environment. This enables customers to rapidly deploy disks for their backup and restore needs and begin enjoying the benefits of disks-faster recovery times and simplified management-immediately. At the same time, the solution integrates with real physical tape libraries for the seamless creation of removable media sets.

"NetApp NearStore is the industry's premier nearline disk system and partnering with NetApp to offer virtual tape library capabilities for NearStore as well as other NetApp systems is a real boon for today's data-intensive enterprise customers," said Don Trimmer, co-founder and Chief Strategic Officer at Alacritus. "Securitus on NetApp is a winning proposition for us and our customers who demand a simple, cost-effective solution to meet their pressing backup and recovery needs. Downtime is expensive. With NetApp and Alacritus working together, downtime and the costs of safeguarding against it are both dramatically reduced."

7 Ways Nonprofits Can Use Pinterest Secret Boards

jcsocial's picture

Pinterest announced today that users are now able to create an unlimited amount of Secret Boards!

Secret Boards have many uses on Pinterest.

Here are 7 ways nonprofits can take advantage of this feature:

1)      Use as an inter-office collaboration tool.

Secret Boards can also be Group Boards, providing the users all have Pinterest accounts.

Create a Secret Board called “Office” or “Collaboration” and pin and share drafts of blog posts, photos, videos in progress – anything that is “not yet ready for prime time”.

This is a great tool to connect employees who work remotely or in the field.

2)     Motivate internally.

Designer Tory Burch uses Secret Boards to “share inspiration internally and prep future boards” for launch to the public.

Have a Secret Board of articles, webinars and books that you would like to recommend to your colleagues. Topics can include tips on working as a team, fundraising advice and inspirational quotes.

3)     Perfect captions.

If you need some feedback on captions, or you want to add hashtags later but need to pin it now (before you forget or go on to the next thing), pin to a Secret Board.

Revisit the pins later and perfect the captions, making sure the link works and that the pins are pinned to the appropriate public Board.

This is also effective if you create a slew of pins at once and want to spread them out over time, for maximum reach and exposure.

4)     Social media ideas.

Your nonprofit Social Media Committee can use a Secret Board to collect articles, photos and ideas for future social media posts.

Instructions can be put in the caption – “Sue, please post this to Facebook on March 17 for St. Patrick’s Day” or “Ellen, please share to Instagram as a way to delight our followers.”

Pinterest Secret Boards

5)     Event planning.

This is my favorite use of Secret Boards – I plan future events with friends all the time! We post ideas for food, venues, outfits, music – you name it!

By using a Secret Board, nonprofits can plan their annual fundraising gala or volunteer events using Pinterest but not reveal the theme or the surprise to the public.

6)     Cultivate ideas that you do not want people to see just yet.

Thinking of opening a new program? Serving a new population? Expanding into a new area? Merging with a partner organization?

Pin ideas to a Secret Board and no one will know until you want them to.

7)     Ideas for future presentations.

Does your nonprofit do a lot of community outreach and public speaking?

Using a Secret Board, you can collect ideas for presentations, workshops and seminars before they are ready to be shared with the public.

Next week I will lay out some ideas for nonprofits using public Group Boards on Pinterest.

How does your nonprofit use Pinterest?

Response to Just so you know

Thanks for your response, Ripper ... sorry if asking for help and asking questions (and not getting any response from Network54) sounds like "complaining" ... it's not, it's asking a question on a Help Forum.

We all appreciate what you do ... that's why we come to this FORUM to ask our questions about areas we are having difficulties with .... hoping you or someoe from Network54 can answer them.

When we do not receive any answers, we wonder if we are being ignored ... and ... "if" the problem is not solvable at this time, we'd just like to know that, too. The courtesy of a reply and a bit of a explanation is all that most people want.

So thank you again for your response ....

Here is some recent news on web page script attacks.

by Clippy (Login burger2227)

Over the past month, the security services ScanSafe and Sophos have reported infections on such major Web sites as ColdwellBanker.com, Variety.com, and Tennis.com. Niels Provos reported in the Google security blog on June 3 that sites infected with Gumblar numbered about 60,000. Visitors became susceptible to infection simply by opening the sites in Internet Explorer.

After the script infects a PC, it attempts to spread its code to any Web site accessible via that machine's FTP client, if one is present. Webmasters often use FTP to make changes to the sites they manage. If FTP software is configured to save a webmaster's sign-in information, the malware can edit itself into a Web site's pages.

Once a PC is running this class of malware, the hacker code tries to trick the user into opening infected PDF and Flash files. If the PC has an unpatched version of Adobe Reader, Acrobat, or Flash, opening an infected file can install a keylogger or other malware. In the case of Gumblar, Google search results in an Internet Explorer window are rewritten in a way that end users may not notice so the links point to hacker sites laden with infected PDF and Flash.

Security firms have made efforts to block domains that serve as malware destinations in this latest round of attacks. But the bad guys quickly move to substitute other domains in what has been compared to a game of Whack-a-Mole.

Meanwhile, it's not so easy to shut down a well-known, legitimate site that's infected (although many such sites have quickly been cleaned up). You can't protect yourself simply by visiting only "trusted" sites, because there's no easy way for an end user to determine whether a legitimate site is infected.

Fortunately, you can stack the odds in your favor by following the guidelines in the Windows Secrets
Security Baseline:

  • Step 1: Use a hardware firewall.
  • Step 2: Install a set of security software.
  • Step 3: Scan your system regularly with a software-update service (more on these below).
  • Step 4: Use Mozilla's Firefox or Google's Chrome browser, both of which are more secure than Internet Explorer.
The rise of a new form of Web-based threat

On May 27, the Microsoft Malware Protection Center blog reported that a malware family Microsoft refers to as Gamburl and Redir was infecting legitimate Web sites by embedding malicious scripts in the sites' HTML code. A system running Windows XP could become infected simply by opening a seemingly trustworthy site. (Gumblar, also called JSRedir-R and Martuz, doesn't affect Vista PCs, according to the Unmask Parasites blog.)

Once an XP machine is infected, passwords for FTP sites are retrieved and placed into a file called sqlsodbc.chm. This file is a legitimate SQL help file in Windows XP and 2000, but it's not used on Vista machines.

To determine whether Gumblar has struck your PC, test sqlsodbc.chm, which is located in XP's C:\Windows\System32 folder:

  • Step 1. Download the free FileAlyzer program from the Softpedia site and install the program on your system.

  • Step 2. Press the Windows key and E to open an Explorer window. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32 folder, right-click the sqlsodbc.chm file, choose Analyze file with FileAlyzer 2, and note the file size and SHA1 hash value. (See Figure 1.)

    FileAlyzer file-check utility
    Figure 1. The FileAlyzer utility checks the sqlsodbc.chm file to determine whether your PC is infected with Gumblar.

  • Step 3. Compare the file size and SHA1 hash value with the listing of good file types published on the Microsoft Malware Protection Center blog. If the file doesn't check out, update your machine's anti-malware software and run a full system scan. The scan should find and clean out the infection. On my test PC, the sqlsodbc.chm file had the expected values, which proved that the system wasn't infected.
Once your copy of sqlsodbc.chm comes up clean, you need to take steps to ensure that it stays that way. Download the latest virus definitions for your antivirus software. Also, ensure that Adobe Reader, Acrobat, Flash Player, and all your other third-party media players and applications have the latest patches.

Home and small-business users can run a free update checker such as Shavlik Patch, which you can download from the vendor's site. (Note that the program requires the free Google Desktop, which is available on Google's site.) A complete review of Shavlik Patch and several competing update programs is in my May 28 top story.

For business networks, I recommend Shavlik's NetChk Protect. I use this utility which costs from U.S. $104 for two seats to patch my own firm's network. You can find information about NetChk Protect on Shavlik's site.

For an added measure of protection, configure your PC to use the OpenDNS service, which lets you block categories of sites that you don't visit. You'll find complete instructions for making the required changes to your router on the OpenDNS tutorial page.

To make OpenDNS your DNS server, you can run your router's advanced settings program and manually set its DNS options to and (See Figure 2.)

OpenDNS settings dialog
Figure 2. Make OpenDNS your primary and secondary DNS server in your router's DNS settings to block potentially dangerous sites.

It's theoretically possible to manually enter in the OpenDNS settings page the URLs of sites you want to block. But trying to keep up with the latest list of Gumblar sites is nearly impossible. ScanSafe's STAT Blog indicates that the rate of Gumblar infection is slowing. But new infected domains all of which use China's .cn top-level domain are popping up as fast as others are being shut down.

Boost XP's defenses against Gumblar-like attacks

If you feel your XP system needs more protection for example, you own a PC used by unsupervised teenagers consider creating user accounts that lack administrator privileges. Granted, XP's limited accounts are often a pain to use because they restrict downloads, settings changes, and other common actions. An article on Microsoft's site explains limited user accounts and describes how to set them up.

Fortunately, the type of limited accounts in the forthcoming Windows 7 will be much easier to use. This is because the most common applications will run properly under Win7 without administrator rights. Steve Friedl's Unixwiz.net site includes a Tech Tip that describes Windows 7's enhanced User Account Control.

Gumblar definitely makes Web surfing with Internet Explorer more hazardous. If your PC is infected, merely searching in Google for seemingly innocent topics can lead you to a site you never intended to visit.

Google's Niels Provos recommends in his Top 10 Malware Sites blog that people use Firefox, Chrome, or another browser that taps into Google's Safe Browsing API. The API blocks Web destinations on Google's list of potentially dangerous sites, which the company claims to update continuously.

Here are some additional ways you can protect yourself:
  • Make a full system backup. Create a backup of your PC using drive-imaging software such as the $50 Acronis True Image Home. (A 15-day free trial can be downloaded from the Acronis site.) Be ready to roll back to a prior image should your PC become infected.

  • Use Windows SteadyState. This free program "freezes" a machine, preventing changes that could be harmful. For more information and a download link, visit the product page on Microsoft's site. (Windows Genuine Advantage validation is required for the download.)

  • Browse in a sandbox. WS senior editor Ian "Gizmo" Richards described free sandbox programs in an Oct. 16, 2008, article. A sandbox lets you open suspicious links without putting your system's security at risk.

  • Don't use Internet Explorer. All versions of IE are vulnerable to Gumblar and similar Web threats, but especially IE 6 is an infection waiting to happen. If a site or application requires Internet Explorer, update to IE 8 if you can. If you can't, download IE 7 as a bare minimum (although it's by no means a remedy). You can download IE 7 from Microsoft's Download Center and IE 8 from the browser's page on Microsoft's site.

    If you simply must use IE 6 because some site or application requires it, urge the errant developers to make their code support the latest version of IE instead.

    For tips on running and optimizing Firefox, Chrome, and other non-IE browsers including OpenDNS and the security-enhancing NoScript extension for Firefox see a comprehensive six-part article at MaximumPC.com.
Some of the above precautions may sound like paranoia, but I consider them the digital equivalent of locking your car doors and staying out of dark alleys.

Banks' suit in Target breach a 'wake up call' for companies hiring PCI auditors

Two banks have filed a lawsuit against Target and Trustwave Holdings, the retailer's security assessor

A lawsuit filed by two banks against Target and Trustwave Holdings, the retailer's security assessor and service provider, could lead to more rigorous evaluations of a company's security for protecting payment card data, experts say.

[Experts question security used in Target breach]

Trustmark National Bank and Green Bank N.A. sued Target and Trustwave in federal court in Chicago Monday, accusing them of negligence and other misdeeds in the massive data breach that occurred at Target stores last December.

The suit, which seeks class-action status, seeks damages from losses the banks suffered in canceling and reissuing credit and debit cards following the loss of 10s of millions of payment card numbers from Target's computer systems.

The lawsuit is one of the few times banks have tried to hold a security auditor partly responsible for a breach. In this case, the plaintiffs are suing Trustwave for failing to catch security problems while validating Target's compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.

The suit also accuses Trustwave of helping to make the breach possible by later failing to spot vulnerabilities in Target's network. Target hired Trustwave as its PC auditor and its security service provider.

"It's a significant development because auditors and security technology companies have never previously faced liability for failing to detect or mitigate breaches," Jacob Olcott, manager of the cybersecurity practice at consultancy Good Harbor Security Risk Management, said Wednesday.

"It certainly raises the bar for auditors, who may modify their auditing practices to enhance the scrutiny of the companies they audit."

Indeed, Lisa Sotto, chair of the global privacy and cybersecurity practice of the law firm Hunton & Williams, said qualified security assessors (QSAs) could take a step back and review how they conduct their audits.

"The QSAs would be wise to pay attention to this and to ensure that there's appropriate rigor in their assessments," Sotto said.

Some assessors are more "check the box" and less rigorous, while others are extremely thoroughly, she said. Less diligent QSAs will sometimes cut corners in order to keep prices competitive.

"The cost pressure results in probably less time than may be needed to do an appropriate assessment," Sotto said.

Avivah Litan, analyst for Gartner, recommended that companies hire separate vendors to do PCI audits and manage security. Hiring one company to do it all is "not a clean business practice," she said.

"Hopefully, this lawsuit will serve as a wake up call to companies that have to comply with PCI," Litan said. "They should use assessors that aren't selling security services and are really experts just in the auditing and are giving a very independent opinion."

[Target CIO resigns following breach]

The suit could also have an impact on negotiations between companies and security service providers, with each side becoming clearer where their responsibilities begin and end, Christine Ferrusi Ross, analyst for Forrester Research, said.

This story, "Banks' suit in Target breach a 'wake up call' for companies hiring PCI auditors" was originally published by CSO.

Judge dismisses Google Street View case

A judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a Pennsylvania family against Google after the company took and posted images of the outside of their house in its Maps service.

The lawsuit, filed in April 2008, drew attention because it sought to challenge Google's right to take street-level photos for its Maps' Street View feature.

On Tuesday, Judge Amy Reynolds Hay from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, granted Google's request for dismissing the lawsuit because "the plaintiffs have failed to state a claim under any count."

Aaron and Christine Boring sought compensatory and punitive damages as they alleged, among other things, that Google had invaded their privacy, acted negligently, was unjustly enriched, and trespassed upon their Pittsburgh property, which includes a private road leading to their house.

The Borings also requested that the images in question be removed from the Maps service, and Google complied. In its ruling, Judge Reynolds Hay also declined the Borings' request for a permanent injunction preventing Google from showing their property's photos in Maps. "The Plaintiffs have failed to plead -- much less set out facts supporting -- a plausible claim of entitlement to injunctive relief," the judge wrote.

A Google spokeswoman said the company is pleased with the outcome because it feels the suit was without merit. "Google respects individual privacy. We blur identifiable faces and license plates in Street View and we offer easy-to-use removal tools so users can decide for themselves whether or not they want a given image to appear in Street View. It is unfortunate the parties involved decided to pursue litigation instead of making use of these tools," she said via e-mail.

The Street View images are taken from Google cars equipped with cameras. The photos offer a 360-degree street-level view of some roads and are meant to complement the other Maps views, like satellite, terrain and standard graphics.

Eric Goldman, associate professor at Santa Clara University School of Law and director of its High Tech Law Institute, said the judge's decision was the right one.

"I wasn't impressed with the lawsuit to begin with. Mercifully, the judge was able to kick out the lawsuit before it consumed too much of everyone's time," Goldman said.

Assuming Google's driver made a mistake by entering this private road and taking the photos, the plaintiffs had a number of options to address the situation that didn't involve filing a lawsuit, which was "overkill," he said. "Going to court was a completely disproportionate response to the problem," Goldman said.

The plaintiffs' attorney didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

2013 smart fortwo electric drive Overview

Smart’s diminutive fortwo screams for an electric version and one is finally here: the 2013 Smart fortwo electric drive (no typo here, Smart is very fond of the lowercase letters).

The fortwo electric drive is the next evolution of Smart’s take on the ideal urban car. It takes the small size and tight turning radius that make the standard fortwo so convenient in the city and adds electric power which means no more wasting time/money at the front. This arrangement makes so much sense in fact, that it’s strange the electric version didn’t come out first.

Instead of a gas engine, the 2013 fortwo electric drive has a water-cooled three-phase AC motor which is powered by lithium-ion batteries, which are lighter than the nickel-based batteries found in most hybrids. The electric motor produces 74-horsepower and 96 pounds-feet of torque, which is delivered instantly.

Now for the important stuff: range checks in at an estimated 76 miles, plenty for even city-wide excursions and more than enough for most commutes. The fortwo electric can be charged on both 120V and 240V power (requires the installation of a charge station). It takes 6 hours to charge on a 240V plug and 14 hours on a regular household socket (120V). The EPA rates the fortwo electric at 122/93 city/highway mpge.

From the outside, besides a lack of tailpipe there isn’t much to distinguish electric versions from gasoline versions of the fortwo. It is notable, however, for being the only cabriolet electric car available on the market today.

Inside, the fortwo electric is well equipped. Automatic temperature control, power windows, and a leather trimmed steering wheel are standard. Heated seats, a navigation system, and a surround sound stereo are optional. The fortwo electric also offers plenty of technology that connects the car to you, including a vehicle home page app that connects the car to your smart phone and allows you to see the battery level, preset the A/C, and see your range.

Smart is an active subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, so they also get the Mercedes’ focus on safety. A very strong, roll-cage-like frame is the basis for this. Side curtain, knee, and front airbags are standard, as are antilock brakes and electronic stability control. LED daytime running lamps are optional.

Alpine Type-R SPR-50 Car speaker - 90 Watt

  • Reviews

Exceptional performance, even at high volume

Like it loud? Alpine designed their Type-R speakers for people who like to turn it up. They'll deliver big, dynamic sound with plenty of bass, and they'll handle lots of volume. They'll work great with your car stereo, but they really come into their own when you power them with an outboard amp.
Fine-tuned for clarity and balance

The SPR-50 5-1/4" speakers feature multi-layer hybrid fiber woofer cones that deliver really strong bass response. Alpine's adapted the specially ridged surround, originally developed for their subs, to these speakers, so you get consistent, extended cone movement that pushes a lot of air. The silk tweeters produce smooth highs that bring out your music's detail and depth with no shrillness. Alpine mounts an EQ ring in front of the tweeters to help disperse the highs for a larger listening "sweet spot" in your ride. Plus, you can swivel the tweeters to focus the sound better for your seating position.
Smaller, stronger neodymium magnets

Alpine uses powerful neodymium magnets which are much smaller than traditional magnets, so the SPR-50's high-density polymer frames will fit into more places than most 5-1/4" speakers. Type-R speakers have earned their reputation in the past as the masters of "crank it to the max," but Alpine has really kicked the performance factor of the latest models up a notch or two.

5-1/4" 2-way car speakers (pair)
multi-layer hybrid fiber woofer cone
High Amplitude Multi Roll (HAMR) Santoprene® rubber surround
1" swiveling silk dome tweeter
power range: 2-90 watts RMS (270 watts peak power)
frequency response: 70-29,000 Hz
sensitivity: 87 dB
top-mount depth: 2-1/4"
warranty: 1 year

Features :

The Alpine Type-R series coaxial speakers feature multi-layered hybrid fiber woofer cones. For durability and superior linearity, the woofers use rubber surrounds.
HAMR Surround:

Type-R speakers use Alpine's multi roll HAMR surround (patent pending), a technology developed for Alpine subwoofers that maintains control and stability at higher volume levels. HAMR surround combines increased cone area and long linear cone excursion for deep, powerful bass response.
Swiveling Tweeters:

The speakers are equipped with 1" (25mm) silk dome tweeters. Alpine's EQ Ring improves the tweeter's dispersion characteristics, providing excellent off-axis response. You can also tilt the tweeters up to 15° to focus the sound where it should be, not pointed at your feet.
Neodymium Magnet:

The new smaller neodymium magnet on the Type-R series allows the speaker dimensions to be smaller, making them easier to install in a wide variety of vehicles. They are also lighter than designs using standard magnet technology.
HD Polymer Frame:

The new Type-R speakers use a revolutionary HD Polymer frame, making the speaker stronger, lighter, and easier to install.

Peacocks at the Pentagon

“There is nothing as agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the rough sand of truth.”
                                              – Bulwer Lytton

The Davis Petraeus saga is another urban legend; a myth about a great man felled by a single flaw or indiscretion. The truth is that Petraeus is a bit player in a larger, uglier drama, the political corruption the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) and that exclusive four star glut that sits atop the military.  And the rot didn’t start with Petraeus.

Recall Army Chief-of-Staff George Casey taking to the airways to rationalize the Fort Hood Islamist massacre in 2009. Somehow “diversity” and Muslim sensitivities were more important than twin dangers of domestic sedition or troop safety on American bases.  Casey was thrown at the Sunday chat shows, like the more recent Susan Rice mendacity tour, to spin a politically correct message.

Indeed, a four-star public relations campaign reinvented the English language to avoid words like victory in all those Muslim wars. The new term for retreat is “drawdown.” And real goals like winning or victory have been corrupted with terms like “nation building,” or worse still, military gibberish like “transition.” Euphemism is the first refuge of analytical cowards. CIA, if not the entire Intelligence Community, takes a bow here too. Only a loser needs to create another word for failure.

In the interests of such political correctness, relevant terms like Islam, Islamist, Muslim, and even terrorist have been stricken from the public vocabulary with JCS help. Witness the recent Benghazi fiasco! The debate is not over mayhem or atrocity committed in God’s name. National politicians and the military brass are arguing whether or not to use the word “terrorist” in their reports dealing with Muslim barbarities.

And consider the ‘inside baseball’ spat over doctrine to be used against the nameless enemy; the counter-terror versus counter-insurgency (COIN) debate within the military.  Petraeus apologists believe that the former ISAF commander reinvented the US Army with new doctrine; and then rode the COIN horse to promotions and prominence.

In truth, COIN played little or no role in Iraq or Afghanistan for two reasons; the force ratios required by Army doctrine, impractical theory, were never achieved. And both conflicts, like most Muslim wars, are civil, not insurgent. These internecine Islamic fights are between Sunni and Shia or between autocrats and theocrats. Neither NATO nor the US Army has the charter or doctrine to resolve these or any other religious or tribal civil wars. Evolution might be the only solution to any Muslim pathology.

COIN had nothing to do with tactical “success” in Iraq or Afghanistan either, but such distractions may contribute to strategic defeat. Theoretical illusions, even those nursed in the halls of ivy, are blinders. Theory, or more honestly, politicized military doctrine does not win wars.

Combat Petraeus-style doesn’t just presume to alter military doctrine; it presumes to alter the nature of war. Unfortunately, war is not about hearts and minds or social services; it’s about winning and losing. Kick enough azimuth and hearts always follow. Even terrorists understand this. And that understanding explains why Islamists are winning now - on a global scale.

War is a time-tested primal exercise, not a venue for intellectuals, polite politics, or poseurs. Combat is the definitive zero sum enterprise; the competent live, the inept die. With skill and luck, the righteous might prevail. But there are no guarantees.

There are no draws and you can’t spin a loss. The enemy and toxic ideology needs to be beaten first; and then the diplomatic social workers and nation builders can be deployed.

As with COIN, Petraeus has been taking bows for the “surge” in two countries, but especially, the so-called “turnaround” in Iraq. Alas, tactical success there has only two parents; bribery and the US Marine Corps.

Sunni allies were bribed for the short haul as they are bought in so many Muslim tribal cultures. This perennial CIA tactic is myopic too. When the money runs out, all you have left is another well-equipped foe. Consider the blowback in Afghanistan. All those mujahedeen that used to be romanticized, when they were fighting the Soviets, are now killing Americans with better gear.

And the US Marine victory in Fallujah had nothing to do with COIN doctrine either. The Marines took that city with the same tactics that Marshal Georgy Zhukov used to take Berlin; house-to-house fighting. What the Marines didn’t destroy in Fallujah, they killed.

David Petraeus and John Allen seem to have been a perfect fit in Tampa; sun, fun, and bimbos – military camp followers. How do senior flag officers use cyber drop boxes and send thousands of emails to married groupies and not think such behavior is compromising?  Do they not know that NSA can read their mail? And those who defend all of this as “private” are correct – as long as character doesn’t matter. Character is how you behave when no one is watching.

Yet, someone is always watching. The night before the Petraeus ‘sierra’ hit the public fan, he and Broadwell were a couple at the annual Office of Strategic Services (OSS) awards dinner. “Wild” Bill Donovan and “Vinegar” Joe Stillwell must be spinning in their graves.

Jim Clapper didn’t fire the CIA chief for private behavior; Petraeus was fired for public, professional stupidity.

Nonetheless, both political parties are tripping over each other with accolades for Petraeus. They argue that drop box sex is a private, not a professional failing – which is simply another way of saying that personal integrity doesn’t matter.  If character doesn’t matter, then America has the top brass that it deserves.

Or maybe we expect the Joint Chiefs to entertain, not lead; but then again, even the Village People might be embarrassed by today’s four star peacocks.

The Joint Chiefs live in a bubble. They learned nothing from the Boorda incident. Recall that Admiral Jeremy Boorda, then Chief of Naval Operations, ate his gun over a bit of ribbon.  Boorda awarded himself a few valor devices that he had not earned. He had never seen combat; but the admiral embellished his chest hair at the expense of JCS reputation anyway.

The fruit salad debate may seem trivial to those who have never seen combat; but for real warriors, such pretense is an insult. The logic of awards and decorations is simple. It’s easier to pass out buttons and bows than it is to give a promotion or a pay raise. Therefore, most awards are for attendance, not achievement. Senior officers like Petraeus get awards or decorations for changing their skivvies – or their address.

Indeed, if you audit the sentiments of troops or their dependents; the cynicism about flags like Petraeus is universal.  One veteran seemed to think that American senior officers resembled Muammar Gadhafi. Another underlined the Petraeus political career track with questions:

“How does an officer with no personal experience of direct fire combat in Panama or Desert Storm become a division CDR (101st Airborne) in 2003 … (and how does) a man who served repeatedly as a sycophantic aide-de-camp, military assistant and executive officer to four stars get so far?”

Nonetheless, the men who presume to lead continue to parade on the E-Ring in drag. Petraeus alone had nearly 50 badges, awards, and decorations on his Class A blouse; yet, no Combat Infantry Badge (CIB). After West Point, between cadet and general, Petraeus attended seven (sic) schools before getting his first star.

This is a chap who probably never saw a firefight, and then at a distance, until very late in his career. Yet, he and the Joint Chiefs still need fork lifts to get dressed in the morning. Such are the hazards of softening “soldiers” at Princeton instead of hardening them in combat.

With no signs of prudence or modesty at the Pentagon, maybe Congress should mandate a limit on gold braid and other uniform claptrap; no more than two rows of fruit salad and then only ribbons for heroism or combat tours. Appearances - and restraint - matter.

America has the best grunts, sergeants, and junior officers in the world. They deserve good models, they deserve better generals. They deserve modest flags promoted for valor and achievement – warriors with personal and professional integrity. No officer who fails to serve in combat as a junior or field grade officer should command any storied fighting division, no less an entire theater.

Travel experts unveil Canada's top 13 must-experience winter places

8 Feb 2010

View Source Article Here

VANCOUVER, Feb. 8 /CNW/ - Olympic fever and national pride hits an all-time high as Canada prepares to welcome the world for the 2010 Winter Games. The Canadian Tourism Commission (CTC), guided by a panel of five of Canada's esteemed travel experts, has unveiled a list of the nation's Top 13 Must-Experience NOW Winter places. The 13 spots come from the CTC's user-generated website,, where Canadians "in the know" have been uploading their great unknown spots daily in the hopes of inspiring their nation to keep exploring and to "discover the Canada you don't know."

"In true Olympic spirit, local residents have shared their favourite experiences from their own backyard with us in the hopes of fuelling excitement across this country. This unique list highlights Canada's incredible contribution to the world as a leading winter tourism destination. It doesn't get better than that!" says Michele McKenzie, president and CEO of the CTC.

After screening over 500 winter travel submissions with the Canadian Tourism Commission on, francophone travel blogger Marie-Julie Gagnon, respected travel writer and editor Liz Fleming, witty travel author Laurie Gough, plus travel television personalities Bruce Kirkby and Robin Esrock identified their top 13 spots for best off-the-beaten-path experiences that are compelling, inspirational and memorable.

Canadians are now being encouraged to view the 13 spots and outdo those on the list by uploading their own unique travel gems for a chance to win a Canadian trip of a lifetime. All Canadians who upload their favourite winter-themed spot, complete with photo and description, to between Feb. 8 and March 21, 2010, will be entered to win one of 13 exceptional Canadian getaway prizes. The contest, entitled "LOCALS KNOW Ultimate Upload - WIN an exclusive vacation with Air Canada," will award 13 lucky winners an exclusive VIP experiential vacation package, donated by Air Canada and Canada's tourism industry. Complete contest details are available at

The 13 Must-Experience NOW Winter spots as picked by the panel of experts are:

I wasn't originally planning to make more than one of these Game & Watch conversions, but due to the resoundingly positive feedback I got for my last project (Game & Watch: Dodgeman), as well as multiple requests to "make more!" I decided to do just that! :)

This time, I modelled it after the classic G&W game, Vermin (I had a specific request for that one), but instead of the original hammers and moles, this version has Blades of Chaos and minotaurs!

Game above, instructions below.. enjoy!

P.S. Happy Birthday/Pico Day Tom! If I'd had more foresight, I would've made a Game & Watch: Pico.. well who knows, maybe I still will! ;)

MAY 1, 2009: w00t! Front page!!! Thanks Tom! :)

MAY 3, 2009: Glitch was found by commenter (5th minotaur never generates) and has been corrected, new version is live! This also removes the ability to cheat by holding down the left and right arrow keys.

MAY 4, 2009: Glitch where game would sometimes freeze when first starting and only left button be clickable has been eliminated.

The goal of the game is to stop the attacking minotaurs from crossing the line. To do this, you have to line up your blades with their heads (watch the demo/clock screen for examples). Kratos attacks automatically. If 3 get by it's game over, so watch out!

You accumulate one point every time you cut down a minotaur.

From the demo/clock screen, click either the "Game A" or "Game B" to start a game! Game A is for novices, while Game B provides more of a challenge to seasoned players.

The "Sound" button will toggle the sound on/off. This can only be done from the demo/clock screen, and is indicated by a speaker icon which appears beside the time display. If the speaker is on, the sound is on.

If you have already racked up some scores from previous sessions, you can press the "Submit Scores" button to send your scores to our online hiscore lists. (You'll have to enter your name and then click the big Submit button at the bottom of this screen.) These lists can be viewed by clicking the "View Scores" button. Don't worry, the hiscore pages will open in new browser windows/tabs, one for Game A and one for Game B.

Note: You can view your current hiscores on the demo/clock screen, they will rotate between your Game A hiscore and your Game B hiscore every 2 seconds.

In game, press left/right to move Kratos (you can use the on-screen buttons or the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard). Clicking the "Time" button will take you back to the demo/clock screen.

As a bonus, if you hit the "Video" button from the demo/clock screen, you can watch a teaser trailer for a certain upcoming game! ;)

- Walz Music - If you like the music in the video, check out the composer's site for more: and his midi compositions at
- hitm4n, for hosting this on his fantastic site, Handheld Remakes! (http://handheld.remakes.
- You, for playing! :)

that was pretty cool, but its only a game and watch game, so its sort of a spoof, but nonetheless nice work.

Rated 5 / 5 stars

Classic twist on a great game.

I love this game. Playing it, I can't help but be reminded of my old Zelda Game & Watch. Great job, I hope you do another one like this.

Oh, and to those complaining about the graphics: Go look up what a Game & Watch is, then come back. Morons.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars

Very nice

But I doubt anyone close to a classic gamer would understand it. I mean heck you have some people complaining about the graphics! Could it have gone any more over their heads? Nice job!

Holmfry responds:

Heh heh heh.. totally. Thanks buddy! :)

Rated 2.5 / 5 stars

Its okay, just gets very boring fast. Could work more onto the graphics.

--Newgrounds is under Attack!--

The first in a three part series, this ten minute first installment finds the portal movies in need of help defending against the BBC.

This is the first flash movie I've put serious time in, so enjoy it! I know some of you might not like sound loops that much, but it keeps the filesize down and I don't have a library of sounds and music to work with anyway.

Even the text in the preloader was awesome!
The simple graphics with the COOL animation is a great combination! please make more like this!

in the final, the portal should be supported by the users of NG (after all, we made the portal what it is) e.g. myself, ki1o, shrapnel, eastfatal, vash & trae, the clocks etc.

anywho, great movie!

Hey all,

This is the official music video for Vinter in Hollywoods song Ride like the Wind.
There were some technical difficulties with certain scenes, which led to them being exported to flv format. I hope you can overlook the small quality changes :-)

Music by Vinter In Hollywood. Animation by Oscar Johansson.

Song available on

Edit: Fixed Spacewolfe name :)

Edit: Frontpaged twice, weekly users and daily first. Thank you so much NG users!

Rated 5 / 5 stars

well done

I don't usually like this kind of music but I enjoyed this. The video was very well done in my opinion, and the song was cool too. Hah I noticed the intro to "beat it" is used in the beginning of the song. I think.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars

Well done

Sometimes it wasn't as clear as it could have been, and it pretty much copied the pod racer sequence from Phantom Menace beat for beat (open field, small rock pillars, tight enclosed canyon, pirates taking pot shots, final two-person showdown) - but apart from that it was well done, ambitious, enjoyable, and an excellent piece of music.

Very addictive!

I haven't managed to get to the end yet (hell, I'm not even halfway there), but I think I can safely say this is one of the better games I've played here. It's clear you've put a lot of work into this; the graphics are lovely, and the skill and battle settings are nice and flexible. Field B12 in particular is awesome. It should have its own Facebook fan page or something.

Always loved GC games and this one lived up to the expectations, good job. Had alot of fun hours grinding back and forth, tho the only really problem is the premium thing, aside from that its perfect.

A cutout style animation, based on story I wrote

Edit: First off, I really want to thank people who left comments and reviews. I can't respond to each individually, but I did read them all and I got a lot of helpful feedback and interesting interpretations on this story.

I think this animation is a little more open ended than the original story, which in a way I like because so far people have different views on what the point of this story is

In the original story, there is somewhat more importance on the pig's head because of its connotations and it is more clear cut. First of all, most people are pretty disgusted by eating a pig's head and it is a disgusting sight to have to face. Second of all, many poor families would eat a pig's head because they were trying to be economical by using every part of the pig... There is also more of a family dynamic between the husband and wife and the servants, and how they takes sides in the original story. I never actually state what causes their relationship to go wrong, but maybe viewers will see for themselves what they want to see

It is interesting to see how viewers pin blame on the husband, while maybe others might see it as the fault of the wife or maybe both the husband and wife are awful people... Or just people who have fallen astray

But I am writing another story I plan to animate, and I am definitely looking back on these comments to guide me because they were pretty great.

(P.s. if you are a sound artist and would maybe be interested in my next project which is a little similar to this, maybe pm me!)

Decided to give this video a home here on Newgrounds

I'm a big fan of Vinny from Vinesauce, so I decided to animate one of my favorite moments of his.

Watch this on Youtube: atch?v=GGWs8WYUp8c
Here's the original video: atch?v=1YCfk1FZ7I8
