Married Georgia teacher had threesome with students in classroom, another tryst at local Waffle House: police

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/married-teacher-bedded-students-classroom-waffle-house-police-article-1.1729783

A married Georgia high school teacher had a threesome with two students in a classroom, then met up with one of the students at a Waffle House for another sexual tryst, prosecutors say.

Lori Quigley, 41, faces several sexual assault charges in the case — and authorities fear there may be other victims.

"We think there's more out there," Major Danny Lowe of the McIntosh County Sheriff’s Office told WAWS-TV. "The charges are serious, all three felonies.”

Quigley resigned from her position as math teacher at McIntosh County Academy earlier this month and was then arrested at her Brunswick home last week.

question about image files

I know how to post image files, of course. Usually there is no issue. You paste:

http_://www_.abc_.org_/xxxxxx_._png (.jpg or .gif etc) and it shows up just fine. The New York Daily News hates hotlinking in the past so I skip them. FWIW, the New York Times always works.

What's the secret ? Just look for a simple url for an image file ? The NYDN is not the only media source that hates hotlinking. Thanks.

5 Ways To Delete A File In Use In Windows

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-ways-delete-file-use-windows/

Windows Explorer thinks the file you’re trying to delete is still open, but it’s not? This commonly happens with video files that were played back in Windows Media Player but it can happen with any other file, too. The file is either running in the background or it wasn’t closed properly. You can even run into this issue with files you haven’t opened in years! Fortunately, this can be resolved in a few different ways.

Did You Close The Program?

Let’s start with the obvious. Did you just open the file and not close it? If the file is closed, but the program is still running, close it too, then try again.

Have You Tried Rebooting?

Rebooting solves most issues and it will most certainly solve this one. While it can be inconvenient, it requires zero skills or fiddling with stuff like the Task Manager or third party tools. Rebooting also clears your RAM and possibly fixes other nuisances in one go. So try this if you can’t be bothered to look into the cause.

If you have already tried rebooting and it didn’t help, skip the following steps and go straight to third party tools.

No Android for Obama yet, sticking with BlackBerry

?hash=A2L4MzLjMw&upscale=1

It's no secret that BlackBerry is one sick company. Once the very definition of the corporate smartphone, now even BlackBerry's CEO is calling the company's survival a coin-toss. But BlackBerry will continue to have one famous, loyal customer: President Obama.

When the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) recently reported that the White House was testing Samsung and LG Android smartphones for internal use, it looked like Blackberry was going to lose its star customer. Specifically, the WSJ reported that a source had said that the White House Communications Agency, a military unit in charge of President Barack Obama's communications, was in the early stages of testing Android phones.

Some Android lovers took this to mean that Obama was ready to "ditch" the BlackBerry in favor of their favorite mobile operating system.

BlackBerry, in a statement, kept a stiff upper lip: "We value the long-term relationship we’ve had with the White House and have been securing their mobile communications for more than a decade. The U.S. government requires the highest levels of security. Governments test new technologies frequently, but nevertheless the U.S. government continues to choose BlackBerry for its unmatched security and cost effectiveness. Other vendors such as Samsung and LG still have a long way to go to catch up to meet the government’s stringent requirements and certifications."

Malwarebytes commits to lifetime support for XP users

http://betanews.com/2014/03/24/malwarebytes-commits-to-lifetime-support-for-xp-users/

The antivirus industry is getting steamed up about the forthcoming end of XP support. Last week we saw Avast warning of the vulnerabilities users might face.

Today anti-virus specialist Malwarebytes announces its new Anti-Malware Premium product and at the same time is pledging that it will continue to support XP users for life.

The company says that XP users currently make up 20 percent of its user base and could be at greater risk after 8 April when support for the old operating system ends.

The new Premium product has a streamlined dashboard interface that makes it easy to see the protection status of the PC along with a heuristics engine designed to detect and eliminated malicious software based on its behavior. It also has anti-rootkit technology and adds malicious URL blocking and protection from potentially unwanted programs. As before Malwarebytes will run alongside traditional security software to provide an additional layer of protection. A Chameleon mode allows Malwarebytes to open even if the system has an infection that tries to close down security software.

Good news indeed for you XP users.
