NY to spend up to $100M on technology grants

By KAREN MATTHEWS

06.08.09, 01:54 PM EDT

NEW YORK — The state will spend up to $100 million in the next few years on technology and research by adding a 10 percent match to projects that receive federal stimulus grants, Gov. David Paterson said Monday.

“Now it is time to take bold new steps to prepare New York to lead the new economy,” Paterson said in a speech at the New York Academy of Science in lower Manhattan.

Paterson said the money would pay for research into fields including energy, environmental protection, technology and health care. He said the program would help ensure that new research centers are built in New York, positioning the state for future federal grants and private investment.

Susan Solomon, chief executive of the New York Stem Cell Foundation, applauded the idea of matching grants and said she hopes to secure some of the funds for stem cell research.

“It’s really smart because New York state then doesn’t have to set up its own review process,” Solomon said. “It basically can take something that’s been peer-reviewed … and just say, ‘Here, let’s turbocharge it.’”

Solomon said she has applied for millions of dollars in stimulus grants that will be awarded this summer

Malicious Software Warning: “FileFix Professional”

Recently DAG has caught-wind of reports of a new version of the malicious software “Antivirus XP”.  The results of this malware bear a quite new and disturbing payload.  This malware is classified as a “Trojan Horse” (i.e. it tricks the user into giving permission for it to install itself).  Once installed, it is believed that most anti-virus software is ineffective at blocking this Trojan Horse at this time.

Warning Signs:

Reports state that, like all the other version of Antivirus XP (2008, 2009, 360), FileFix Pro 2009 appears as a pop-up window or as a message balloon in your Windows system tray. It warns you that your files are corrupted and you’ll need to install File Fix to repair them (re: image below)…

DO NOT ACCEPT!

…This is not true! DO NOT BECOME A VICTIM!  If you see this pop-up; contact DAG IMMEDIATLY [call us Toll-Free at 888-566-8118 - which offers an emergency option that will track an enginer ASAP]

How Virus Works:

Once you clicks “OK” and accept the program, it is installed.  Thus, maliciously encrypting your files.  FileFix then claims that in order to “fix” the files it has corrupted, you must pay to upgrade to the full version of FileFix Professional.  This is a trap.  In all honestly, it is most likely that your files are okay, intact and safe, however at this point they have been encrypted by the malware they instantly become inaccessible unless a fee is paid to by you to un-encrypt them.  This is illegal, horrible, and at its core blackmail – pure and simple.  If this happens to you, please contact DAG immediately for assistance.

General Info/Warning:

This software will only install if you accept it by clicking “ok”, “install”, etc.  In essence, if a window pops up with this warning (or any other virus warning), DAG’s best recommendation is to close your web browser immediately. The software won’t install without your help.  Always, be very careful when browsing the web, also.  If you get a pop-up warning you about a virus or problems with your computer, be wary.  When in doubt, contact DAG, we are here for you.

The history of Bowling Green, New York City

DAG Technologies’ NYC HQ is located at Bowling Green which has a fascinating history.

Bowling Green Park circa 1890

Bowling Green is New York City’s oldest park. According to tradition, this spot served as the council ground for Native American tribes and was the site of the legendary sale of Manhattan to Peter Minuit in 1626. The Dutch called the area “the Plain” and used it for several purposes. It was the beginning of Heere Staat (High Street, now Broadway)—a trade route which extended north through Manhattan and the Bronx. It was also the site of a parade ground, meeting place, and cattle market. In 1686 the site became public property, when the City Charter put all “waste, vacant, unpatented and unappropriated lands” under municipal domain.

Bowling Green was first designated as a park in 1733, when it was offered for rent at the cost of one peppercorn per year. Lessees John Chambers, Peter Bayard, and Peter Jay were responsible for improving the site with grass, trees, and a wood fence “for the Beauty & Ornament of the Said Street as well as for the Recreation & delight of the Inhabitants of this City.” A gilded lead statue of King George III was erected here in 1770, and the iron fence was installed in 1771. On July 9, 1776, after the first public reading in New York State of the Declaration of Independence, the statue was toppled by angry citizens, dragged up Broadway, sent to Connecticut, melted down, and recast as ammunition. Portions are still held by the Museum of the City of New York and the New-York Historical Society.

By the late 18th century, Bowling Green marked the center of New York’s most fashionable residential area, surrounded by rows of Federal-style townhouses. In 1819 the Common Council voted that neighbors could plant and tend the area in return for the exclusive use of the park by their families. By mid-century, shipping offices inhabited the old townhouses, and the park was returned to more public use. Monuments installed in the park in the 19th century include two fountains (now gone) and a statue of New York’s first mayor, Abraham De Peyster by George Bissell, which was moved to nearby Hanover Square in 1976.

In the first decade of the 20th century, Bowling Green was disrupted by the construction of the IRT subway. The park was rebuilt as part of citywide improvements made in preparation for visitors to the 1939 World’s Fair. Renovations to Bowling Green included removing the fountain basin, relocating the interior walkways, installing new benches, and providing new plantings. A 1976-77 capital renovation restored Bowling Green to its 18th-century appearance. Improvements included the redistribution of subway entrances, the installation of new lampposts and benches, and landscaping. Publisher and philanthropist George Delacorte donated the park’s central fountain, which was designed by M. Paul Friedberg and Partners. Since December 1989 the statue of Charging Bull has been on display at the north end of the park.

Bowling Green Fence was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1970.
