Worldwide Computer Products News-12 February 2009-Avanquest Solutions introduces encryptX DeviceDefender encryption software(C)1995-2009 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com
Business solutions provider Avanquest Solutions is introducing encryptX DeviceDefender, an encryption software for PC USB ports and removable devices (USB Flash drives, removable hard drives, CompactFlash, SD, MicroSD and memory sticks).
According to the company, DeviceDefender protects the USB port on a user’s PC from any inbound threats, that is someone plugging in their unprotected removable device, and all removable devices used at third party workstations. Once the solution has been installed on the removable device from the user’s computer, it runs from the removable drive, so files can be accessed from any PC.
DeviceDefender delivers automatic and transparent encryption (256 bit AES), users need only to create a password. Files and folders created in Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, MediaPlayer and backup programs, as well as those that are dragged/dropped into the USB drive from within the Operating System, will be automatically encrypted and protected as they are saved.
At the point of USB access on any remote PC workstation and without requiring privileges or administrative rights, the solution automatically initiates, giving secure access to the encrypted files on the removable device and protecting user data in that environment from viruses and malware.
The consumer version of the software allows users to encrypt an unlimited number of removable devices. In addition, it features an integrated local password recovery feature and an anti-password guessing mechanism to defeat automated password attacks.
The Enterprise edition includes central administration and management

Jan 22, 2009 (The Australian – ABIX via COMTEX) — The impact of the global financial crisis will not only boost the amount of insolvency work for Australian law firms, but also that in the area of divorce law. A recent case was of interest due to the very high demand by the wife family law grand rapids for $A10,000 a week. Meanwhile, the Australian Crime Commission apparently has preferred to downgrade a supposedly urgent application to the courts to less pressing status, rather than have the media attend the hearing.

Northeastern vamp type moccasins: the drawstring pleat
Whispering Wind, July-August, 2007 by David Sager
Previous articles (1),(2) on Northeastern footwear in Whispering Wind discussed simple vamp moccasins of the Cree and center seam/vamp moccasins of the Ojibwa.
In the course of describing both types, I made mention of a very refined method of creating the pleats or puckers appearing at the juncture of the vamp piece and the body of the moccasin through the use of drawstrings, but without explaining the process itself. In this article I will describe three methods for doing so, used by Northeastern tribal crafts people at various times in recent history.
The basic idea behind utilization of drawstrings in this way is not new. It has been encountered in ancient vamp type moccasins sites in the arid Great Basin, probably left by natives migrating from the North. A slight difficulty in relating this technique to specific tribes in more recent times arises because the idea was constantly being adopted by various groups and abandoned by others in the region now covered by the present article. Space simply does not allow for a group by group analysis. Suffice that the first method described was often employed by some bands of the Cree, the Dakota and the Ojibwa
MICROWAVING HYDROCARBONS
Oil & Gas Investor, February, 2008 by Stell, Jeannie
Sometimes it pays to take a risk. Like drilling a wildcat, funding a start-up or sticking a no-no thing into a microwave oven. That’s right.
On March 13, 1996, while Frank Pringle was experimenting with a microwave oven to find a new way to recycle glass, he heard news of a used tire heap on fire in Philadelphia. He promptly found a two-inch by half-inch piece of rubber, popped it into the microwave, and “played with frequencies until it disappeared in a puff of smoke.”
Now, more than a decade later, Pringle’s company. Global Resource Corp
