They also drive under I695 in Baltimore.  695 is not an elevated

  i thought the die hard 4.0 movie was going to be crap, but it actually
  highlighted a lot of real life potentials that got my mind thought

  release of DIE HARD 4.0, since they are still struggling to decide
  where to build their U.S cyber command LOL.

  I will apply for the MI5/GCHQ cyber command and hopefully i will get
  gadi evron's home address and send him my good wishes.

  I don't need to work for MI5/GCHQ to find out all the troll's personal

  seriously though, ROFL at the U.S cyber command. Played any video games

 Walnut Creek, CA (PRWEB) March 1, 2007 -- Cruises are great. Get on board
 and enjoy the scenic ports of call, entertainment, pampering, and incredible
 food. That is usually the case. But according to Travel Insurance Services,
 specialists in travel-related insurance plans for over thirty years, cruise
 passengers get hurt or sick often enough that they should be prepared for
 the possibility. This can include having cruise travel insurance that covers
 illness, injury and medical evacuation.



  A University of Texas study showed that four in 100 passengers visited
 shipboard infirmaries, 18% for injuries and 69% for medical conditions. The
 study found similarities between conditions that happen on cruises and those
 treated at land-based emergency rooms.

  More than Sunburns and Hangovers

  Cruise lines do have medical care available on board, but many travelers
 don't realize the variety and seriousness of conditions cruise doctors and
 nurses see. Most people mistakenly think cruise line medicine consists of
 treating sunburns and hangovers, stated Sally van Boheemen, RN and Director
 of Holland America Line's Fleet Medical Operations. While those ailments
 certainly do occur, they are not what keeps ships' medical centres busy.
 Conditions can include traveler's diarrhea, a sprained ankle, a broken hip,
 a stroke, a heart attack or something even more serious. According to the
 Texas study: The most common diagnosis was respiratory tract infection
 (29%); and 11% of patients had a serious or potentially life-threatening
 diagnosis.

  Get Current on Your Immunizations

  The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states the
 diversity of passengers and crew members on a typical large cruise ship also
 means diverse background in health and immunization status, medical and
 public health tendencies and behavior, and potential for disease exposure.
 The CDC therefore recommends that cruise travelers be up to date for their
 routinely recommended age- and medical condition- specific immunizations.

  Be Sure to Have Coverage for Medical Expense and Evacuation

  Passengers often need to leave a ship for medical reasons. In 2000, Holland
 America Line alone had 600 medical disembarkations. Sometimes passengers can
 disembark for treatment at a scheduled port or by the ship returning to a
 port; but other times a specially equipped medical helicopter or air
 ambulance is needed. That medical evacuation expense can range from $5,000 -
 $50,000 or more, and may not be covered in a passenger's stateside health
 insurance plan.

  Travelers should check the coverage of their current health plan. Does it
 cover them for medical expenses throughout their trip, including travel
 outside their country? Does it pay for medical evacuation? If not, they
 should find a short-term travel health insurance that will provide coverage.

  Travel Insurance Services (TIS) has developed affordable cruise travel
 insurance plans to meet these needs. Plans like InterMedical Insurance and
 Travel Insurance Select include benefits for medical expenses and emergency
 medical evacuation. Each plan also includes 24-hour, multilingual worldwide
 emergency assistance, that helps to organize emergency medical
 transportation, provides medical care location service, monitors medical
 cases, communicates treatments to physicians back home and delivers
 emergency messages to family and friends.

  Travel Insurance Services (TIS) is a USI Affinity Company () a division of
 USI Holdings Corporation (USI). TIS is a nationwide insurance brokerage that
 has met the insurance needs of travelers for 33 years. It develops, markets
 and administers travel insurance and international medical policies for

I'm not really clear on how you are grading these companies.  I've had
no personal experience with them but I don't decide a companies
quality of work simply by their website and what information I get
from some customer support person.  These grades seem pointless and
frankly unfounded.  You should reword your grading system to specify
the ease of use of their websites and not the service they provide.
Especially if you haven't ordered any services from them.  I'm not
defending anyone here just pointing out some flaws in this grading.

 One of our readers made a request that we review Cybertrust
 (http://www.cybertrust.com;). Cybertrust was recently acquired by Verizon
 and as a result this review was a bit more complicated and required a lot
 more digging to complete (In fact its now Cybertrust and Netsec). Never the
 less, we managed to dig information specific to Cybertrust out of Verizon
 representatives. We would tell you that we used the website for information
 collection, but in all reality the website was useless. Not only was it
 horribly written and full of marketing fluff, but the services were not
 clearly defined.

 As an example, when you view the Cybertrust services in their drop down menu
 you are presented with the following service offerings: Application
 Security, Assessments, Certification, Compliance/Governance, Consulting,
 Enterprise Security, Identity Management Investigative Response /Forensics,
 Managed Security Services, Partner Security Program Security Management
 Program, and SSL Certificates. The first thing you think is what the hell?
 the second is ok so they offer 12 services.

 Well as you dig into each service you quickly find out that they do not
 offer 12 services, but instead they have 12 links to 12 different pages full
 of marketing fluff. As you read each of the pages in an attempt to wrap your
 mind around what they are offering as individually packaged services you're
 left with more questions than answers. So again, what the hell?

 Here's an example. Their Application Security service page does not
 contain a description about a Web Application Security service. In fact, it
 doesn't even contain a description about a System Software/Application
 security service. Instead it contains a super high level, super vague and
 fluffy description that covers a really general idea of Application
 security services. When you really read into it you find out that their
 Application Security service should be broken down into multiple different
 defined service offerings.

 Even more frustrating is that their Application Security service is a
 consulting service and that they have a separate service offering called
 Consulting. When you read the description for Consulting, it is also vague
 and mostly useless, but does cover the potential for Application Security.

 So, trying to learn anything about Cybertrust from their web page is like
 trying to pull teeth out of a possessed chicken. We decided that we would
 move on and call Cybertrust to see what we could get out of them with a
 conversation. That proved to be a real pain in the ass too as their website
 doesn't list any telephone numbers. We ended up calling verizon and after
 talking to 4 people we finally found a Cybertrust representative.

 At last, a human being that could provide us with useful information and
 answers to our questions about their services. We did receive about 2mb of
 materials from our contact at Cybertrust, but the materials were all
 marketing fluff, totally useless. That being said, our conversation with the
 representative gave us a very clear understanding of how Cybertrust delivers
 there services. In all honesty, we were not all that impressed.

 Cybertrust does perform their own Vulnerability Research and Development (or
 so we were told) under the umbrella of ICSAlabs which they own. Usually we'd
 say that this is great because that research is often used to augment
 services and enhance overall service quality. With respect to Cybertrust, we
 couldn't find out what they were doing with their research. They just told
 us that they don't release advisories and then refused to tell us what they
 did with the research.

 When we asked them about their services and testing methodologies, we were
 first told that they couldn't discuss that. We were told that their
 methodologies were confidential. But after a bit of Social Engineering and
 sweet talking we were able to get more information...

 As it turns out, the majority of the Cybertrust services rely on what they
 say are proprietary automated scanners which were developed in-house. Their
 methodology is to run the automated scanners against a specific target or
 set of targets, and then to pass the results to a seasoned professional.
 That professional then verifies the results via manual testing and produces
 a report that contains the vetted results.
