MS OneCare last in anti-virus tests – what's the future
March 5th, 2007 by Juha-Matti, Filed under: Commentary, Corporate Security, Microsoft, Rootkits, Virus, Web
Austrian AV Comparatives Web site tested 17 AV products – including several free anti-virus programs as well.
Link to the test: www.av-comparatives.org/
(select 'Comparatives' and 'On-demand comparative / February 2007′)
Microsoft's Live OneCare was the only product receiving result under 'Standard' level and it detected only 82.4 percent of malware. There are many well known vendors with the result of 97.9 percent. And the winner received the result of 99.5 %.
OneCare's detection of polymorphic viruses was poor as well, says the report.
This is not the only coverage test published, but AV Comparatives will release more similar tests later this year. We will see if the result will change.

Does it bother you?
(I'm the youngest of my siblings. Age range is: 58, 57, 55, 51, 48 and me 42. I used to think we were close but I've grown apart from 3 of them. Mostly due to the fact that I'm the only one calling/attempting to contact. They always have something going and are too busy, etc...)
No. I only have one...my sister, who is only 3 years older than me. We are just very different people. We fought for years and there were times that we didn't talk. We're finally at a place where we get along well enough. But I don't think of us as "friends."
It does bother me a lot. My friends who have sisters all have that ideal "my sister is my best friend" kind of relationship and I tend to get sad when I see how they are.
But at the same time, I have a few incredibly awesome friends who are like sisters to me (which my sister doesn't have), so I know that I am lucky that I have them.
I am the youngest of four ages 41,39,36, and me 31. No we are not close. Yes it kind of bothers me, because of the reasons why we are not close. Mostly it is because of stupid BS, competition (I have more money, better house, closer relationship to our parents) type crap. It is so annoying. My eldest sister tends to think that her opinion is the only one that matter - her opinion of the rest of us is all truth - some of which can be unfair and judgemental. I have learned to deal that this is how she is and I have accepted it - we have a nice relationship, but we are not as close as I would like. My brother is manic depressive, doesn't take his meds has struggled with addiction... he is married and doing well, but he can be a handful to keep up with - esp when him and my oldest sister clash - again, I just accept him and stay away when he is being crazy. Then my other sister is 36 and I never know if she likes me or if she doesn't. I have heard her talk horribly about others, talk that would make the worst talk you ever heard sound perfectly fine... so I don't trust her.
I have learned to keep my distance and not get myself involved in any drama, let them think what they want of my life, but to me it doesn't matter what they think - they are hardly in it, so I am not going to let their negative thoughts have any impact in my life.
I like where I am at in my relationships with them, but I big part of me wishes that we could just get along and not push buttons and just accept one another, but that is just never going to happen...
black.kat - a lot of what you're describing is what I've been through. My eldest sister doesn't ever reach out to any of us - if it doesn't involve with her children then it doesn't matter. She is sooo competitive about her kids and now is trying to compete with her grand daughter and my kids.
My other sister is sort of depressed and always wants to know what's going on with your life, but she never shares about her own. My third sister's opinions are the only ones that matter.
It make me a little sad, but I try not to let it get to me either.
We're not close. He has a bunch of mental illness issues that makes it very hard to be around him at times. When he's taking his meds and they're working, we get along all right. But when he's not, it can be difficult. He's also kind of a crappy uncle to my boys (has almost zero interest in them), and I admit that it hurts my feelings. He's getting a bit better -- he actually played with DS1 last time he was here, whereas he usually just ignores him or says he doesn't want to. I don't think he acknowledged DS2's presence at all.
No I'm not close to either one. I have a brother 4 years older who is pretty much a recluse. If we are all together you would not even know he was in the room because he never talks.
My sister is 2 years older & her & I used to be best friends. Then she started doing drugs & smuggling (mule) them for her boyfriend & things went down hill fast. She used my name when she got pulled over & I had to go to court to clear my name. There is a bunch of stuff but that is the gist of it. I haven't talked to her in 15+ years.
I wish things were different but it is what it is. I'm now a few states away from them so that adds to it.
No. I only have one...my sister, who is only 3 years older than me. We are just very different people. We fought for years and there were times that we didn't talk. We're finally at a place where we get along well enough. But I don't think of us as "friends."
It does bother me a lot. My friends who have sisters all have that ideal "my sister is my best friend" kind of relationship and I tend to get sad when I see how they are.
But at the same time, I have a few incredibly awesome friends who are like sisters to me (which my sister doesn't have), so I know that I am lucky that I have them.
This exactly except I'm the older one by 5 yrs.
Medium. They aren't my best friends who I call and hang out with all the time but we get along and enjoy each others company when we are together. My siblings are a lot older than me (56, 53 and 51). My oldest sister got married and moved out when I was 6 (I was her flower girl) and next sister left when I was 10 and brother at 15. So I grew up with them but I didn't, if that makes any sense.
My middle sister lives in Italy and I only see her once a year when she stays with me for about three weeks. My brother is off doing his own thing so we see him on the holidays. I got close to my oldest sister when my father was dying so it is her that I am closest too. In fact, she was the one that came and stayed with me after I had my babies (Mom has advanced Alzheimer's and has been in a home for several years so she wasn't available).
It doesn't bother me. It just is what it is. I choose my friends that are closest and like it that way.
I have one sister. She's 7 years older than me and we get along okay now but we're definitely not close. She just has made decisions in her life that I wouldn't make with mine. Plus they are more into a partying/going out scene than we are so there's a lot of disconnect between us.
I'm really close to my husband's sisters though. We actually hang out, go shopping together, talk on the phone, etc.
I have one sister and we aren't terribly close but we have a 9 year age difference so just in different places in our lives. She is great and loves my son and we do spend a good amount of time together. I'm sad that we aren't super close but as she has gotten older, we have definitely have been closer.
My husband has a twin and they have fought their whole lives because their father always had a competition with them. His brother was born first (vaginally) and my husband through a C-section and their father has always treated the first born son better. It is sad because they live the closest to us and he only takes interest in Owen if it is convenient for him. He also has a younger sister who says she is scared of "babies" so she takes very little interest in him even though he really isn't babyish anymore and doesn't make any time for us or him. It does bother me because I grew up with lots of cousins and great aunts and uncles and so far Owen is the only child and there is really only one family member that truly likes to spend time with us as a family. Everyone else wants us to get a sitter and go out to the bar.
black.kat:I just hope that I can do well as a parent to facilitate better sibling relationships between my own children. When I was growing up my parents rarely stepped in when things got heated and actually REALLY mean between us... then of course now that we are older, they just either ignore it or give off excuses... which just drives me CRAZY. I think that I have learned a lot of lessons and if my children do not get along, then at least I know I will have tried my very best. I can't think of anything worse for parents than to see their (adult) children in such a place like my siblings and I - that is why I refuse to get into the drama - I know on some level it breaks my parents' hearts.
I'm hoping this too.
My only sibling is my brother who is 3 years younger. He lives across the country and we are not close at all. His wife is very possessive and does not want him to have much contact with us and she makes his life pretty difficult I think. He is estranged from our mother due to some stupid drama from their wedding. He takes horrible financial advantage of our dad (although my dad enables it).
It makes me incredibly sad. We have never been close but our dad has terminal cancer and I know it is going to be devastating to all of us when he passes and it would help I think if we were closer. We don't have a big family & I wish it could be closer while my dad is still here. But he has put so much physical & emotional distance between all of us that it is almost impossible at this point.
DH has an older brother that he hardly has any contact with either. I hope my girls are much closer.
I had a sister 3 1/2 years younger.
She was a very challenging little kid and a rebellious teenager who was dx'd with bipolar disorder in the days before effective medication. in talking with DS's psychologist, I've come to see that she was probably either borderline or a true sociopath. She died of complications of AIDS and drug addiction leaving behind parents and children who were devastated. I loved my sister and I was very involved in caregiving the last couple years of her life and tried to do the right thing as she was sick and dying*, but I can't say I liked her very much. She did give my my "girls" and for that I am grateful.
Growing up, my parents did start to step in to mediate disputes between us as her mental illness ramped up. It was painful for them because they both had warm relationships with most of their sibs and wanted that for us. My father had a sister with the same brand of crazy; when she died my dad didn't find out for over 9 months. Neither he, his brother or her children were mentioned in the obituary.
My relationships with my sisters has changed over the years. Sometimes I have been closer than others. Right now, I feel closer to one, but I think that's mainly because others are just so wrapped up in their lives.
DH is really close to one of his sibs, used to be really close to 2, and never close to another.
IME I see sibling relationships as something that evolve over time based on what's going on with other family dynamics.
No. And it does bother me. I am 43 and my brother is 40.
He moved to NYC and bought the whole "I am a superior human being because I live in Manhattan" thing hook, line and sinker. He's embarassed that he was born in Ohio and raised by a single mom with no money. He does a duty visit of 36 hours or less once a year and that's it.
I have two older half siblings but we didn't grow up always together. We are reasonably close. My half brother and his family live several states away but we talk on the phone every few months and spend holidays with each other. My half sister lives locally and we talk every week or two and spend time together a few times a month. We have become closer since we are both moms but she is definitely not a best friend.
However, I have one full sister and she is four years younger. We didn't play a ton as kids because of the age difference, we fought a lot in high school but as soon as I left for college, our relationship blossomed and she is my best friend. We have lived in different cities before but we'd still be on the phone most days. She now lives locally and we see each other at least once a week, she's a wonderful aunt to my children and I am so happy to have her support. Besides DH, she's the one person I feel closest too.
I agree with the posters who said parents can only do so much, if you had told me at 10 (or told my parents) that my sister would be my best friend, I'd have not believed it.
sunandsand:My sister is 25 going on 16. I am 27. She still drinks heavily on the weekends, is bad with money, and has a new boyfriend every week. I do wish she'd grow up a bit, but she visits my kids almost weekly so I try to bite my tongue.
It's really funny you mention this, because at 25 that's the norm around here that you're still living it up. Most people here don't marry until their 30s, so all my friends in their late 20s are still doing this and it really isn't seen as immature. I'm the one who's the oddball for being married/having kids. Funny how different things can be in different parts of the country.
Yes, I get along pretty well with my sisters (one is 2 yrs older, one is 2yrs younger). I talk with them every week and see my little sister at least once a month and all major holidays. We have 2 boys and my sisters have multiple children, so having the cousins love spending time together helps a lot also.
However, in the past year or so, I've grown further from my older sister bc her husband is strange and hard to get along with. I really wish I could talk with her more directly, but I think her life is just tough right now.

Team Albay dominates Palarong Bicol
NAGA CITY — Team Albay lorded over for the second year in a row the recently-concluded Palarong Bicol 2012, besting 12 other contingents from all over Region V.
Albay posted an impressive 569 points score, based on the Department of Education official tally.
Delighted by his province's back-to-back victory, Albay Gov. Joey Salceda said two wins in a row should "convince ourselves of the intrinsic strength of the Albayano team".
The province last year bagged the championship after a medal drought of 24 years, when it hosted the Bicol sports meet at the Provincial Sports Complex in Guinobatan town.
Skeptics branded Albay's 2011 championship as "nothing but a hometown victory." This year, however, is clearly different.
"Physical superiority, intellectual superiority and their derivative strength that springs from unity in passion and pursuit of goals, pride of place, competitive spirit and inner character explain it all," Salceda noted.
The governor had campaigned for a wider support for Albay's sports program, and had lobbied for a bigger budget for the training, food allowance, incentives and the materials needed by the team to boost their morale.
"With better financial support, there was no doubt Team Albay can bag the championship," he earlier pointed out.
Albay's winning score of 569, was higher by 166.5 points over first runner up Camarines Sur with 402.5 points and 265.25 over that of host Naga City which posted 303.25 points and landed a poor third runner-up. Camarines Norte was second runner up with 400.5 points.
Based on the official tally, Team Albay's highest scores were posted by boys' elementary and high school players who scored 186 and 143, respectively.
Elementary level athletes, boys and girls, hauled in 310 points in all, and high players bagged 259, for a total of 569 points.
The 2012 Bicol Palaro points standing are as follows: Albay, 569 points; Camarines Sur, 402.5; Camarines Norte, 400.5; host Naga City, 303.25; Legazpi City, 292; Catanduanes, 167.5; Masbate province, 90.75; Sorsogon province, 91; Iriga City, 83.25; Masbate City, 79; Tabaco City, 74.25; Ligao City, 58; and Sorsogon City, 34 points.

Dane Grams
Dane Grams thought he'd never get to New York City. And the road from Absegami High in Galloway, New Jersey, to West 57th Street did not run true. On the way, he had addresses in Washington, DC, Spokane, Washington, and St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
"I always wanted to live in New York City," Dane confides. "It was always a dream of mine, and I thought it was always going to be unattainable. I don't know why, but it intimidated me."
Now that he calls Manhattan home, without a hint of diffidence, you can usually find him leaving (he loves traveling), all ears-and eyes-in a Broadway theater, bar hopping with friends, hanging out with his dog Jersey, raising money for GLSEN (the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network), or helping run Front Runners. Or running.
Athletic archives at Old Absegami don't list Dane as a track standout or a cross-country mud scudder. In fact he never ran-except to catch the bus-until he joined a running club, Front Runners New York. Why would someone who never jogged across the park join a running club?
New to New York City, and newly without his boyfriend of 4 years, Dane was looking for a good way "to meet people and do something meaningful." Heeding the counsel of Dave Lin, whom he met in DC in late 2002 when both thought a 7-minute-mile was something a cab did on Constitution Ave in rush hour, Dane enlisted with Front Runners. "Joining the club was not only a new social experience, it was a new athletic experience as well," he reflects. "So I was sort of a newbie all the way around."
Not for long. A club member for only a few months, Dane signed up for his first race, the 4-mile Run for the Park on April 22, 2007, at the age of 34. "He was so excited about both the race and his new Front Runner friends," Dave Lin says, "that we threw a big carbo-loading pasta dinner with about a dozen of us, all having a good time." The dinner was such a hit that Grams and Lin made it a tradition-"usually with a freely flowing box of Franzia wine," an oenophilic Lin divulges.
Only 2 and a half years later, Dane has piled up an impressive racing record, including four marathons, sub-7-per-mile paces across an array of middle-distance races, and a splendent 3:23 in his first New York City Marathon in 2009. ("I felt like a rock star!") Always the team player, Dane has competed in a few triathlon relays and a couple of all-running relays, including more than one relay win.
"As a runner, Dane has improved immensely since starting Front Runners," his buddy Ryan Singer reckons, predicting further gains soon: "I expect that we could see him contributing to the points standing and qualifying for Boston in the coming years." The New York Marathon time was only 8 minutes above Dane's current Boston-qualifying threshold. Next up on the marathon circuit: Phoenix in January and Cologne Gay Games in August.
"It's pretty amazing to start something and be so passionate about so far into your life," Dane observes. But he's a two-footer in most of life's pursuits, jumping in with both of them whenever he finds something worth vaulting about. Bungee jumping off the frothy lip of Victoria Falls (360 feet top to bottom) is only the most dramatic example. Once he found Front Runners, Dane quickly decided he could do more than show up at races wearing the team singlet or bending his elbow and others' ears on the social carousel.
A year after joining FRNY, Dane ran for the board and got elected secretary. In 2009 he made the move to men's vice-president, and he's running unopposed for that post in 2010. He co-managed the team's mile-24 NYC Marathon spot for 2 years, cochaired the club's Development Committee, headed up the Pride Run fundraiser twice, and played Pearl Mesta as FRNY social calendar planner for the last 2 years.
"I learned quickly that if you want to know what's going on in the club socially, just talk to Dane," Seth Richardson advises. "He's the closest thing FRNY has to Cruise Director Julie McCoy. Dane will make sure you make it to the next First Friday Social and is great about introducing you to new people."
Dane claims his overdrive commitment to the club is easy to understand. Joining FRNY helped him meet "all these great people of all different shapes and sizes, of all different running capacities, of all different ages, who had come together for running but found much more than that in the club. I found it so rewarding for me personally that I wanted to volunteer my time and energy to make the club the same positive experience for other people."
FRNY president Rob Lennon stresses that Dane's contributions to the club extend beyond choosing "a zany slate of bars" for First Fridays. Dane "has also introduced interesting charitable fundraisers like the Sea Tea and Hoedown into the mix." Lennon thinks Dane's success in this effort derives both from his acute sense of "what makes the club fun for people" and his professionally honed skills in fundraising.
Kindling the giving spirit has been Dane's professional aim since he took his first job at Greenpeace in late 1993, where he worked for David Lemos, former chief of the Names Project Foundation, which fashioned the AIDS Quilt. From there Dane moved to Human Rights Campaign, where he scared up donations from late 1997 through early 2009 to promote equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.
In March 2009, Dane moved to GLSEN (pronounced "glisten"), the largest national organization working to end anti-LGBT bullying and harassment of students in grades K through 12. With less than a year under his belt at GLSEN, Dane has already run two major events that both exceeded goals, one in record-breaking fashion. This career path leads Ryan Singer to dub Dane "a professional gay."
Though he rates the 2009 job switch–and consequently heavy work load and increased responsibility–"certainly daunting," Dane felt the time was right for a change. "I don't think I was pushing myself enough" at Human Rights Campaign, Dane says. "I was also afraid if I didn't try something new soon, I would never try anything new." His immediate up-to-the-eyeballs immersion at GLSEN made it harder to find time for running, and Dane's race results plateaued. But he kept pace with club chores, and FRNY remains in tip-top financial shape.
One of the challenges for the club now, Dane thinks, is "finding a balance between making sure we have enough money put away for a rainy day, but also doing things with that money, giving back to the club in some way, and being good servants to the community as well." FRNY continues its strong support of local charitable groups, with a stated mission of helping people with HIV infection and other illnesses.
When not running, running teas and hoedowns for FRNY, or running after money for GLSEN, Dane is usually flying around the world satisfying his wanderlust or warming a seat in a Broadway theater. High points in his travel log include a gay cruise on the Mediterranean with Dave Lin, and trips to China, Israel, Portugal, Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa, and Zambia, where he took the bungee plunge down Victoria Falls. "They almost had to push me off," Dane confesses, "but I think that counts." Next up-Germany, maybe South America, another African adventure, and lots more giorni in Italia.
Back in New York, Dane haunts theaters on and off the Great White Way. "I like everything," he says. "But probably my favorites are musicals." He figures he's seen "hundreds and hundreds" of shows since embracing his limelit addiction, revisiting some blockbuster musicals as many as a dozen times each. He goes with family, with friends, or by himself, sometimes snaring a free ticket or two from his vast network of movers and shakers.
And in his spare time, Dane marries people. While living in St. Thomas he got ordained as a minister thanks to an online church "because I thought it might be fun to be able to marry people, and lo and behold two friends of mine in the Virgin Islands were going to get married and the judge who was going to marry them was unable to do it." So Dane stepped in to pace his pals through their vows. Since then, he's also sealed the bond between his oldest childhood friend and her man.
Be careful! If Dane doesn't show up at your wedding in ministerial drag, he'll find another way to sweep you into his high-spin vortex. Just ask Dane's Mom. Although it took her a little while to embrace her son's gay lifestyle, she now finds herself flipping flapjacks at the premarathon pancake breakfast and judging acts suave and whacky at the FRNY Variety Show.
"She just happened to be in New York" on the Variety Show weekend, Dane explains, "so I asked her and she said, 'sure, that sounds like fun.'"
Gregor Mendel would not be surprised.

Villa Asta, a Mannerist, burgeois symbol
Was inspired by Palladio's Rotonda (which is today a bed-and-breakfast establishment catering to the most distinguished guests known as "Villa Gabriella")
At the and of thè 19th century, with the spread in Europe of industrializatìon, artistic production underwent radical changes wìth thè aim of overcoming prevìous classical models and satisfying creative freedom, and adapting it to new needs as dictated by technlogical progress. Archìtectural styles were trasformed. They became more asymmetrical and enrìched with elements such as terraces, verandas, glass and ìron roofing, turrets, open gallerìes and entrance stairways which were often cìcled and embellished with iron and cast-ìron raìlings. The Lido presented itself as a place more open to eclectic experìments at the beginning of the 20th century, A promìnent businessman, Nicolo Spada, understood that it could become a holiday hot spot given its location between the Adriatic and the lagoon, just a stone 's throwfrom venice and St. Mark's Square.

The former developer of the BuddyPress Gifts Plugin abandoned it some time ago. This is always sad but understandable when a developer doesn't have time to commit to his plugin anymore. I'm happy to report that BuddyPress Gifts has been adopted and the new developer is calling it BuddyPress Gifts Rebirth. This is a very cool plugin that allows members of your BuddyPress site to send each other "gifts". Administrators can upload, delete and edit gifts from the dashboard, making them entirely customizable.
BuddyPress Location Check-Ins Plugin Now in Beta
Location check-ins are an exciting part of social networks that let members keep track of their friends doing fun things in fun places. Users love to broadcast their locations and the option to check in keeps them coming back to visit the site, especially via mobile devices.
Top 3 Ways to Build a Social Network with WordPress
Not all social networks are created the same. If you've settled on WordPress as your CMS and want to build a social network or add community features to an existing site, you actually have a decent selection of options for making your site more interactive. Over the past couple of years, several plugins have emerged as strong contenders for transforming your WordPress site into a full-featured social network. In this post we'll examine the strengths and features of each of the top three plugins available for building a social network with WordPress.
Get More Flexibility with BuddyPress Extend Widgets
Without the help of plugins and/or custom theming, there's not a lot of flexibility with WordPress sidebars. When you're working with BuddyPress, a set sidebar may not always be the best choice for use sitewide with your various components. BuddyPress developer @slaFFik has released a new plugin that aims to give you more flexibility in widget display, whether it's in your sidebar or footer or any other widgetized area.
Pre-Order the New Balance BuddyPress Theme from PressCrew
The team at PressCrew has a growing shop of WordPress products. Balance is their latest theme, due to be released in the middle of April. The theme release will coincide with version 1 of their Infinity Anti-Framework.
Check out the live demo at infinitythemes.net to see the theme in action.
Slides from Designing For Humans with BuddyPress Presentation
The crowd at WordCamp Netherlands was privileged to have expert BuddyPress designer Tammie Lister as a speaker this year. If you weren't lucky enough to be able to attend, don't worry – you can at least check out the slides.
Coming Soon in BuddyPress 1.6: Profile Field Privacy Options
BuddyPress developer Boone Gorges announced today on the BP Development Blog that BuddyPress 1.6 will include some basic privacy options for user profile fields. This new feature will be called "Visibility". Having some form of profile privacy is one of the most-requested features for BuddyPress and very soon it will be a reality.
Individual users will be able to edit their profile field visibility on a field-by-field basis.
Get Stats for BuddyPress Components Usage
Getting information about how your BuddyPress users are interacting with the community can be very useful in relationship to your development goals. It's also especially important if you're trying to strategize ways to monetize your BuddyPress site.
BuddyPress Component Stats is a new plugin that can help you start collecting some valuable information. It gathers statistics about the users who interact on your social network and classifies them according to the main components of Buddypress (Forums, Groups, Blogs, Activity, Friends, etc.).
You can also conveniently export the records found to PDF and XLS formats for use within other applications.
New Responsive Buddies Community Theme from Themeforest
After Themeforest opened up its market for BuddyPress themes, there has been a flood of successful themes released. Buddies is the latest to be added. It's a responsive, minimalist BuddyPress theme with bbPress styles integrated for a seamless design.
The Buddies theme uses the same framework as Gratitude, a previous release from ZenThemes, and it's been hailed as one of the easiest frameworks to use. The theme also includes a unique widgetized homepage that changes when a user is logged in:
Besides being fully responsive to mobile devices, the Buddies theme features:
Customisable accent color options via the options panel
Custom Background Support
BuddyPress Showcase: 12 Unique and Inspirational Sites

Addictions start with difficult emotions a person does not know how to process. I teach clients how to clear those emotions with Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT). Then I teach them how to use EFT to clear urges to use the substances they are addicted to. Clients learn to use EFT whenever they are stressed and have any urges to use. When clients persist in using EFT, the addictive substance becomes repulsive to them.
Though I am not an addictions specialist, per se, I feel I have helped many people in discovering and understanding more deeply the beliefs,conditioning and family of origin experiences which tend to be the root of their addictive tendencies and obsessive/compulsive tendencies. When people learn that they can listen to their needs and feelings, become kinder and more loving towards themselves and can change a lot of the negative, pessimistic, and self-critical thinking which has plagued their lives, they become able to find more easeful, peaceful and balanced lives, in which addictive, obsessive and compulsive thinking and behaviors become less and less of a pull.

Paul Pierce won the NBA 3-Point contest with a 20 point final round, defeating rookie Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and Chauncey Billups of the Denver Nuggets.
In Pierce's only other 3-point contest appearance in 2002, he finished in last place. Curry posted the highest first-round total, with 18 points, while Billups and Pierce advanced with 17 points each.
In the finals , however, Pierce shot first, making all five money-balls on his way to 20 points, and neither Curry (17) nor Billups (14) could match him. Pierce and teammate Eddie House both lobbied hard for inclusion in the 3-point shootout.
Throughout the contest, fellow All-stars Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett were cheering loudly for Pierce, rooting for him to take the hardware, the trophy, back to Boston.

by Jim Grichar (aka Exx-Gman) by Jim Grichar
(Author's note: I ask readers for their indulgence because of my extensive use of the b-lingo – bureaucrat-lingo – and the detail I used in presenting my arguments. I do this to reduce bureaucratic counter-arguments – which I expect to receive – to the absurdity that they invariably are.)
For those who did not read Parts I–IV of this series, total actual cuts in proposed spending (what I call the "Cut-o-meter') now amount to $259 billion. Those cuts came from Defense, NASA, HUD, the Education Department, and other agencies.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is an anachronism that needs to be abolished. With a budget for fiscal year 2005 of $81.8 billion, it is time for the Congress to get rid of this financial millstone on the body politic. Actual spending for the current fiscal year 2004 should come in at about $77.7 billion
Ostensibly set up to protect small farmers from the vagaries of price fluctuations and crop disasters, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has grown into a multi-faceted bureaucracy that now spends more than half of its budget ($47.3 billion) on the food stamp and related food-type welfare programs. But if the taxpayers ended other farm subsidies, such as the $15.2 billion proposed for price supports, there probably would not be a need for food stamps as food prices would decline, making food affordable to poor people.
A Little Bit for Everyone
Today's Agriculture Department budget generally reads like a laundry list of welfare programs, from the various food stamp and food welfare programs to all sorts of aid for farmers, including such items as rural electrification and telecommunications programs, subsidies for renting farms and purchasing farm houses, federal crop insurance, dairy indemnities, export subsidies, etc. The list is lengthy, and it looks ridiculous. One program gets morphed into another, with a new name, but always the same purpose, protecting the farmer from the vagaries of the free market. In the real world, farmers can purchase all the protection they need by executing commodity futures contracts to protect themselves from price fluctuations. Selected forms of crop insurance might eventually be offered by private insurers, and such insurance would be better run by the private sector than the current government program.
The food stamp, school lunch, and other food welfare programs were ostensibly set up to provide subsidized food for the poor or disadvantaged or assuring that school children were not malnourished. The real rationale was to provide back-door support for food prices and assure that no one would ever attempt to abolish such welfare. Eliminate all these food welfare programs and food prices will drop. Americans were not starving before the advent of these programs, and they will not starve after these programs are abolished. Total savings from abolishing these food and farmer welfare programs would be approximately $75 billion per year!
The Forest Service
One of the more notorious Agriculture Department programs is that of managing the many forests owned by the government. The U.S. Forest Service is responsible for managing the National Forest System, which includes 187 million acres of forests and nearly 4 million acres of grasslands.
But because of lobbying and influence by the environmental movement (not allowing clear cutting, allowing buildups of dead brush, all in the name of supposedly protecting endangered species), management of the public forests has become a nightmare, leading to massive forest fires, losses of wood, and often significant and costly damage to nearby private property. Federal disaster payments to compensate losses to private property owners – such as those in the Los Alamos New Mexico area who were wiped out by an out-of-control government-initiated "controlled burn" – run into the hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more. Such payments are never anticipated nor included in the budget for the Forest Service.
For fiscal year 2005, the Bush Administration proposes spending $5.1 billion to manage the public forests and grasslands. Given the lengthy track record of mismanagement and losses and the proven stellar track record of the private sector in minimizing fires, losses of wood, damage to private property, and preserving endangered species, federally owned forests and grasslands should be put up for sale to the highest bidder. In addition to saving the $5.1 billion per year now wasted on the Forest Service, the government could sell off the lands, raising $100 billion or more that could be used to retire public debt. Some of the current employees of the Forest Service would undoubtedly find employment in the private sector with the new owners of those lands.
Food Safety
As with other so-called federal government operations that were started to protect the public from risks, it is time to privatize those operations. The current budget for the Food Safety and Inspection Service is $0.837 billion. Contrary to the alarms and panic that would be spread by those opposed to eliminating this program, the private sector would take up the burden. After all, a firm can be bankrupted by subsequent lawsuits if it is negligent in the food it sells so it is in the interest of all firms in the food business to assure safety in the food supply. Despite nearly a $1 billion per year being spent on government-paid food inspectors, Americans still experience a large number of problems with bad food. Private food concerns could hire independent testers and inspectors to assure that tainted or poisoned food did not reach consumers.
Regarding the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (known as APHIS), this organization is designed to prevent disease from threatening livestock and crops. The budget for APHIS is about $1 billion per year. Like food safety, food producers could purchase similar animal and plant inspection services from reputable private organizations. The recent outbreak of mad cow disease – which came from imported dairy cattle – serves as an example of the moral hazard when the government gets involved in what is essentially an insurance operation. Instead, if the risks were properly assigned to private producers, they would have every incentive to take precautions to prevent such problems.
And the Cut-o-meter Total is up to …. $337 billion!
Abolishing the Agriculture Department can save taxpayers a fortune cutting the budget by almost $78 billion from the current year. And because of the sale of public forests and grasslands, another $100–200 billion could probably be earned to pay down the public debt.

Most fans will have the opportunity to see Justin Timberlake live on stage in baseball and football stadiums this summer, but if you're the leader of the free world, you can just go ahead and book JT to play your home.
Last night, Timberlake joined Booker T. Jones, Ben Harper, Alabama Shakes, Mavis Staples, and a handful of other performers in a tribute to Memphis soul music. It was the latest entry in the "In Performance at the White House" series, concerts that have become a staple of the Obama White House.
"Let's face it, who does not love this music?" the President said during his introduction to the evening's music. "These songs get us on the dance floor. They get stuck in our heads. We go back over them again and again. And they've played an important part in our history." READ FULL STORY

Colgate Announces 2nd Quarter Results
Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL) today reported worldwide Net sales of $4,267 million in second quarter 2012, an increase of 2.0% versus second quarter 2011. Global unit volume grew 5.0%, pricing increased 3.5% and foreign exchange was negative 6.5%. Excluding divested businesses, global unit volume grew 5.5%. The Sanex acquisition contributed 1.0% to sales and volume growth. Organic sales (Net sales excluding foreign exchange, acquisitions and divestments) grew 8.0%.
Net income and Diluted earnings per share in second quarter 2012 were $627 million and $1.30, respectively. Net income in the quarter included $14 million of aftertax charges ($0.03 per diluted share) resulting from the implementation of the previously disclosed business realignment and other cost-saving initiatives ("business realignment initiatives") and costs associated with the sale of land in Mexico. Net income and Diluted earnings per share in second quarter 2011 were $622 million and $1.26, respectively.
Excluding the above noted items, Net income in second quarter 2012 was $641 million, an increase of 3% versus second quarter 2011, and Diluted earnings per share in second quarter 2012 was $1.33, an increase of 6% versus second quarter 2011.
Gross profit margin was 57.7% in second quarter 2012, an increase of 30 basis points versus the year ago quarter. Excluding the above noted items, gross profit margin was 57.9% in second quarter 2012, an increase of 50 basis points versus the year ago quarter, as higher pricing and cost savings from the Company's funding-the-growth initiatives more than offset the impact of increases in raw and packaging material costs and negative foreign exchange transaction costs.Selling, general and administrative expenses were 34.3% and 34.0% of Net sales in second quarter 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding costs associated with the business realignment initiatives, Selling, general and administrative expenses were 34.2% of Net sales in second quarter 2012, driven entirely by increases in advertising. Worldwide advertising spending increased 4% versus the year ago quarter to $457 million.

Introduction to Education Guide
We can call an experience educational if it has a formative impact on the thought process or a person or if it influences the actions and feelings of the person. Education is often segregated into various stages like preschool, primary school, followed by secondary school. It then further progresses to include colleges, universities and apprenticeship as well.
Many governments recognize the right to education. Globally, Article 13 of the UN's 1966 International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights identifies the right for all the people to attain education. Despite the fact that education is mandatory in majority of the nations up to a specific age, attending school is not compulsory and hence a small segment of parents opt for home schooling, e learning and other such ventures.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Htomczak Good but watch out for extra costs When I made my reservations I made it with parking included. However, when I got there the sign said it would be $15 dollars a night for hotel guest. I stayed 2 nights and they charged me $60. I still don't understand that. My daughter and I ordered room service of two bowls of ice cream and some veggies and it cost $40. For that much I was expecting a bowl, not to small scoops. While the staff was friendly, and the place was nice but being somewhat limited on cash the unforeseen charges were not good. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharon0907 Always a great experience The people, the rooms, the restaurant - they're all great! I always try to stay here when visiting Minneapolis. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MidwestMartins Great stay in a great city Loved the location in the heart of Minneapolis. Shopping, dining and the arts are all within walking distance. Room service was great. The room was fantastic, and the staff went above and beyond, even returning by mail an item we'd left behind in our room. I have stayed at hotels all over North America, and I would rate this stay as one of the best, at half the price of most stays. If you want an upscale, cool and comfortable hotel in Miineapolis, start and end your search here. November 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JMK3 Fun Trendy Hotel -- Like Living in an Art Gallery Nice hotel, neat concept of having modern art exhibits and installations throughout the hotel. Very unique. Good Platinum recognition, although they charged me for the internet. Tried to contact on three different emails (from SPG.com or emails sent from hotel) -- all three emails were returned as undeliverable. SPG Facetime rep contacted hotel on my behalf to sort out the issue. Good Italian restaurant attached to hotel. Good location in downtown Minneapolis. August 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by VikesFans Beautiful hotel and exceptional staff We look forward every year to our annual trip to Minneapolis and a Vikings' game. This trip was made extra special by the exceptional staff and beautiful accommodations at the Le Meridien! Whatever we needed (even ear plugs to block the snoring of my son!) the staff would rush to provide. Surrounding restaurants were friendly and served great food at great prices. We will make the Le Meridien part of every trip to Minneapolis. Highly recommend! January 6, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AJL321 My favorite hotel in Minneapolis! The service is always excellent, the beds are comfortable and the room is clean. The scent in the hotel lobby is fabulous too and the hotel is conveniently located. August 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by thomas13 What happened to the chambers? The jewel of the city has lost it's shine. From the first impression to the last. The valets stood under the awning protecting themselves from the rain while my husband and i lifted our bags out of the trunk and carried them in. They did the same on our exit. The water had been shut down in the hotel and they failed to inform us of this upon checkin so were unable to prepare for the event we needed to attend. They then sent a poor inexpensive bottle of wint to the room to apologize. Slow room service. No one answered the phone when calling room service or housekeeping. Mediocre coffee and juice. Room not replenished with tissues when out. THe bright stars where a very few people like Gretchen, Celestine and a sharp young bartender at Marin and the food at Marin. Were it not for these people and the food we would have checked out earliier than we did. October 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tscateh Had a great date night Loved the contemporary design, warm bathroom floors!, windows that open. Found that the floors however make the rooms louder than anticipated. Water system sounds were louder than anticipated, and for some reason the sheets wouldn't stay tucked in on the bed. Otherwise, loved it. Roomy, comfortable, had a nice romantic vibe. Huge shower "room", which was very nice, great water pressure and lots of hot water, which I value highly. March 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mplssales Great staff but... The staff was wonderful. From the valet to the front desk and out again. However I was disappointed with the décor (very plain and stark) and the lack of standard amenities that I get in other hotels. There was no in-room coffee maker, the TV by the bed was not easy to see while lying in bed, room was small, showerhead had a slow water flow. Overall the bathroom was not well organized. I may be a bit critical but I expected more. December 16, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robertdavid Exceptional Starwood Addition This is a gem of a hotel. Contemporary feel filled with artwork. The staff is extraordinary....friendly, informative and professional. John, front office supervisor, went out of his way to provide a tour of the hotel's art collection. Our upgrade was to an amazing suite with an equally amazing bath with heated floors. This hotel has given me a much better feeling about Le Meridiens in general. Will always stay at this hotel. March 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lilmommak absolutely amazing josh felt bad that i was so tired and my room wasn't ready and upgraded me for free!!! never have i been treated SO kindly at a hotel before. i was amazed at the room size. my only complaint is that the room service items were CRAZY expensive and i was really hungry but wouldnt eat or order anything because of how much it cost. overall, i do plan on going back again! best time ever. i felt like i was treated beyond amazing. December 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by RoccF Business Stay The Chambers Hotel is a unique find in any city. The mix of art, travel and city culture make this a great concept. I have stayed at the hotel many times on business travel. Given the choices of hotels in the Minneapolis area, this hotel is my favorite. The staff is very accommodating, my colleagues and clients enjoy meeting in the restaurant and bar and it is a short walk to all downtown business and cultural locations. December 19, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gonzo500 Not a typical boring hotel. . I loved the style and ambiance. The room was awesome. Very clean. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. My only complaint is that the bed was too comfortable. My wife keep yelling at me get up. It is also located near numerous great restaurants. If you want to stay at a place that is different than your typical boring hotel stay here. It's not perfect, but it's a pretty cool place to stay while in Minneapolis. June 19, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by drtrotter74 Overnight Birthday Stayed here for an overnight birthday celebration. I thought the hotel was nice. No inhouse parking garage was unfortunate, but the parking for $13 overnight was pretty typical. Would be nice if they provided free valet, but that would be pretty unusual I suppose. Only other comment is that I wish the wifi was not an extra charge. With the way technology is nowadays , free wifi should be standard in all hotels. March 24, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Anlar Great staff The staff was very responsive to our needs, and extremely friendly. They answered all our questions, and provided for all our needs. August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by North55 Very Nice This was all that I was expecting & more. I had a very nice stay! Loved the bathroom!! August 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Traveldoctors0822 Wonderful stay with stained sheets We were given a night's stay as a gift and loved the location, incredible breakfast, luxurious shower and wonderful featherbed. The multiple stains on the sheets almost killed the experience for us. If we had planned on more than one night or we'd noticed it before bed, as opposed to after waking, we may have called the desk. For an otherwise five-star excursion, this factor was really disappointing. September 13, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Deuce0725 Not worth the price For over $400, this hotel did not deliver anything above and beyond what you can find for half the price. Not really sure what size the "king-size" bed really was but it didn't feel much larger than a queen. Room had uncomfortabl robes and did not have slippers (which it advertised). Our room had a view of a brick wall with loud trucks unloading in the alley below. Definitely overpriced. September 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lulubell7 Love the upgrade policy My husband and I like to take the occasional "Stay-cation" downtown. We've stayed at many different hotels in Minneapolis and St Paul and have really enjoyed the get-a ways. This time we randomly chose "The Meridian". Since I belong to their loyalty program I requested to be upgraded which they did for no additional cost. The room was a delight, we we had an exceptional room and time! May 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by HiEnergy Great Location Love this hotel! The staff were welcoming and responsive! I had to leave very early and valet was not on site 24 hours, however there is a parking garage next door. The art exhibit in the hotel was great! July 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rancher Totally unexpected in Minneapolis Superb SPG recognition, incredible facilities, great location. The fixtures in the bathroom are literally works of art, but not particularly functional. I never did figure out how to work the shower, but had a great time looking at it wondering how it worked. I took a bath. Parking is pricey and front desk staff can be cold and incompetent in a "Minnesota Nice" way. April 6, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JustMe10 Nice but lacks basic conveniences Hotel and room was nice, and the bed was awesome. Cool sink and shower but not very functional, for me anyway (more art, less function). No ice machine on our floor. I tried to get a cup of coffee to take with me in the morning and they couldn't help me. I had to order it through room service for over $$. If you like modern, artsy, and unique than you will like this hotel. August 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by BKKJ The best place to stay in the Twin Cities Le Meridien Chambers Minneapolis is outstanding when compared to other hotels in MN, and is also outstanding when compared to other Le Meriden properties. If you want a fantastic room and you want to interact with a professional and genuine staff, then this is the place for you. The associated restaurant, Marin, is a great spot for drinks in the downstairs lounge. November 19, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrequentTraveler13 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING STAY I loved this hotel. Its an ART LOVERS DREAM. I was upgraded to the only PENTHOUSE SUITE. WOW! HOW AMAZING. This was a dreamy suite totally beautiful. It has the BEST SHOWER EVER. It can mesmerize you. The staff was super duper friendly and I am very grateful to them. ART LOVERS YOU JUST HIT THE POWERART JACKPOT AND MATCHED ALL THE NUMBERS ON YOUR ARTY TICKET. March 22, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Grandma49 Anniversary/Theater Trip When we want to celebrate by driving up to the Cities and taking in a performance at the Hennipen Theater District, we like to stay at the Le Meridien Chambers. It is a very short walk to many dinning and entertainment venues. The vibe of the hotel is soothing, from the lobby to the rooms. Surprisingly quiet, given the location in the center of action. October 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Johnson28 Johnson 28 The heated floor (bathroom) and fridge are my complain . Called the front desk to notify the issues and nothing was done. John express to me that it would be fix and maintenance will come. We was there for five days and the problem wasn't fixed.. I was a little disappointed with the staff. The heated floors were the reason why I booked this hotel. January 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Manju Bed extremely comfortable This was our first stay at Le Meridien so we didn't know what to expect. The uniqueness was refreshing. The location was great, well within walking distance for many interests. The bed was amazing. We would really like to know what type of feather top is on the bed. We believe the pillows are Down Lite 50/50. Overall, a terrific experience. July 10, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Manju Best Stay Ever! We came to Le Meridian to stay for our wedding night. The concierge was dealing with a disgruntled guest ahead of us and was very accommodating and professional. The check-in was a breeze! The blonde who checked us in noticed it was our wedding night and even sent us a gift! It made our night even more special. We will definitely be back. August 16, 2012

Pope Francis, in a phone call with his friend and former pupil, journalist Jorge Milia, had some high praise for his predecessor Pope Emeritus Benedict.
Milia recounts the story in an article which appeared in Terre d'America, the blog of Italian journalist Alver Metalli. Milia reported that the Pope had teased him for sending a long (12-page) letter, and the two had laughed together. They spoke of many things, including the former pontiff. When Pope Francis expressed his deep respect for the Pope Emeritus, Milia responded, "Then keep him close." Pope Francis agreed, saying, "There is no way I would turn down advice from someone like him, it would be foolish of me to do so."
Milia continued, explaining how he had chatted at length with "the old… Argentinian", an affectionate term for his friend. It is a pleasure, he said, to exchange ideas with him.
Here the Internet translation program fell a little short, converting the Italian article into English with a confused sentence structure; but the meaning, if not the exact wording, is still intelligible. Milia quoted the Pope as saying, more or less:
And really when it comes to Ratzinger does it with gratitude and tenderness. To me it's a bit 'the effect of one who has found an old friend, a former classmate, those who show up from time to time, and at school attended one or two courses after our and that in some so admired, perhaps with the difference that the time had smoothed, softened."
Oh, well. I think he means, "I like him! I really like him!"
