MVP: Universal Training System Unifies, Supports Global Distributor Network
Another integral part of MonaVie's transformation into MonaVie 2.0 is the launch of a new universal training and education system to guide distributor success, known as MVP (MonaVie Values People).
Because MonaVie truly values people and wants to see them live up to their potential, we believe our distributors should be trained and educated to maximize their chances for success. The beauty of MVP is that it is a universal, all-in-one system created for distributors and designed by the most successful distributors in the direct sales industry today.
Starter Kit Is a Must-Have for Serious Business Builders
This kit is a must-have tool for serious business builders. The MVP Starter Kit is a valuable set of brochures, booklets, CDs, and DVDs that provide step-by-step directions on how to start a successful MonaVie business. In the Starter Kit, you will find:
- Start Your MonaVie Life – The perfect starting point for prospects. This brochure introduces information about MonaVie and its products, the concepts of Community Commerce, and information regarding the MVP system. Readers will also discover the opportunity that MonaVie offers, why they should become involved, and what their first steps should be.
- How to Become a Best in Class MonaVie Distributor – Outlines what every new distributor needs to know and do in order to be successful in his or her MonaVie opportunity, this brochure also introduces the first tools to be added to a distributor's belt: the Income Generating Activities, a step-by-step, sponsoring excellence guide and a detailed description of how to start building a list of customers and prospects.
- MVP Playbook – The most important support tool in the MVP system, the Playbook outlines everything a distributor should know and do to stay on track, define their dreams and reach his or her goals.
- Fast Track to Gold – Ranked by Dallin Larsen as the most important title to achieve, Gold is a milestone at which distributors begin to see the truly positive impact that their business-building efforts can have on their future and their families. The Fast Track to Gold brochure outlines the strategies and tools that distributors need to achieve Gold and beyond.
- MVP Table Top Flip Chart – This beautifully-illustrated flip-chart provides you with an invaluable tool to present the MonaVie opportunity to prospects in a logical, easy-to-understand sequence. This tool can engage and interest prospects in a smaller, intimate setting or be used at larger MVP Open Meetings.
- MVP Action Quest Card – Achieving success is a culmination of daily activities. When followed and completed, the daily activities outlined in the Quest Card can help any distributor build a successful MonaVie business.
MVP Programs and Tools
In addition to the Starter Kit, MVP offers access to programs and other tools which are designed to enable success at any level. These powerful program offerings include:

- Promotional Items – One of the keys to a successful business comes from building your brand. MVP offers you professionally-designed materials and premium items which help support you as you build your own independent MonaVie business.

Ultimately, MVP's goal is to provide every distributor all the tools, information, and training necessary to start out right and then continue to achieve success all along the way, as you seek to achieve your personal business goals.
The MVP Starter Kit will be available in your Virtual Office beginning January 23, 2012.

Skinny Boot Jeans 1 1
Good Fit These jeans are slim enough for my daughter to wear without having to alter. The color is strange, looks like something splattered it, not very attractive. Also received a pair that was a size 5 regular but had the stickers for a 6 slim. Since my daughter is very slim the slim sizes are important. I will save the other pair for my 4 year old as shipping from Alaska is not worth the return. The jeans seem to hold up well and have minimum wear. August 9, 2014

Project Management A Skill for Managing Resources Better
Project Management: A Skill for Managing Resources Better
by Bob Jewell, Omega Leadership Group
Here's a quick quiz – Are projects in your organization getting done on time? Within budget? Are the customers of these projects satisfied? Are your employees enthusiastic about their involvement in projects? Do you even know how many projects are currently underway within your organization? Are you successfully implementing your strategic goals? Dealing with change? If you answered "no" to any of these questions, then read on.
According to A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, published by the Project Management Institute in
"Projects" are becoming more common in the world of business because of the pace of today's hyper-competitive economic environment. In Fast Company magazine, Tom Peters, author of In Search of Excellence, observed "In the New Economy, all work is project work.", and Fortune Magazine recently labeled project management as the number one profession for the 21st century.
All business organizations are being impacted by the challenges of the new economy, such as higher quality at lower cost, tighter schedules, improved management of resources, and more. Add the need for rapid change and suddenly, what was once routine task-oriented work becomes non-routine "project" work.
I'm willing to wager that if you take a look around your organization, you'll find that many of your current activities are actually projects in disguise. If this is the case, how successful are you at managing the resources being committed to these projects?
Just because you're good at managing daily operational issues doesn't guarantee your success managing projects. A different set of skills and tools are necessary to effectively manage the resources involved in carrying out successful projects. To insure that these invaluable resources are well managed, you need to utilize the discipline known as "Project Management". The future success of your organization could depend on it.
Project Management provides a method by which groups of employees working together as teams can create the right product or service at the right time for the customer, within established resource limits. A typical project management process contains the following four stages: (1) Initiate, (2) Plan, (3) Execute/Control, and (4) Close Out. By understanding and applying these stages and the tools (charters, milestone schedules, work breakdown structures, Gantt charts, and critical path scheduling) associated with them, your organization will learn to manage projects more effectively, efficiently, and successfully.
Baseball great Yogi Berra once warned, "If you don't know where you're going, you just might end up somewhere else." Take advantage of the many strategic opportunities that today's economy can offer your organization by improving your ability to manage projects.Author:

McCain most recently won re-election in 2010. He defeated Rodney Glassman (D), David Nolan (L), Jerry Joslyn (G) and a handful of write-in candidates in the general election.
McCain began his political career by winning election to the U.S. House in 1982. He served in that position until his election to the Senate in 1986. McCain unsuccessfully ran for president in 2008, losing to Barack Obama in the general election.
McCain suggested that this may be his last term in office. He told Obama supporters, "The president and I, he's in his last term, I'm probably in mine, the relationship we have had over the past three years is quite good. Quite good." He then told a reporter, "I was trying to make a point. I have to decide in about two years so I don't have to make a decision. I don't want to be one of these old guys that should've shoved off."[1]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, McCain is an average Republican member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Republican Party on the majority of bills.
Below is an abbreviated outline of McCain's academic, professional and political career:[2]
- 1958: Graduated from United States Naval Academy
- 1973: Graduated from National War College, Washington, D.C.
- 1958-1981: United States Navy
- 1967-1973: Prisoner of war in Vietnam

Legislative actions
Fiscal Cliff
McCain voted for the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. The bill was passed in the Senate by a 89 - 8 vote on January 1, 2013.[4]
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[5] The Senate confirmed 13,949 out of 18,323 executive nominations received (76.1 percent). For more information pertaining to McCain's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[6]
National security
American response in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
McCain said the following about use-of-force in Syria after meeting with President Obama: "A rejection of this resolution would be catastrophic, not just for him but for the institution of the presidency and the credibility of the United States."[7]
Despite this belief, McCain has yet to be persuaded to support Obama since the president has yet to outline his plan of attack. He said, "I'm already talking to a lot of my colleagues, but before I can persuade them to support this, I have to be persuaded. I'm saying that I think the president made sense in a lot of things he had to say, but we are a long way from achieving what I think would be a most effective strategy.[7]
McCain said the limited actions that would be authorized by the new draft resolution don't go far enough in responding to Syrian leader Bashar Assad's alleged use of chemical weapons last month.[8]
Congressional briefings
McCain blasted the briefings held with congressional members, saying in an interview with POLITICO, "One reason is because they are not specific: They are not answering many of the questions. Certainly, that was the case in the Armed Services Committee. And Gen. Dempsey doesn't have a lot of credibility."[9]
Statement on Russian deal
McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham released a joint statement on the Russian deal with Syria to relinquish Syria's chemical weapons. McCain and Graham called the deal, "an act of provocative weakness on America's part. We cannot imagine a worse signal to send to Iran as it continues its push for a nuclear weapon." They added, "Is the message of this agreement that Assad is now our negotiating partner, and that he can go on slaughtering innocent civilians and destabilizing the Middle East using every tool of warfare, so long as he does not use chemical weapons? That is morally and strategically indefensible." The two senators offered their own recommendation saying, "The only way this underlying conflict can be brought to a decent end is by significantly increasing our support to moderate opposition forces in Syria. We must strengthen their ability to degrade Assad's military advantage, change the momentum on the battlefield, and thereby create real conditions for a negotiated end to the conflict."[10]
Further Syria statements
McCain made another statement on the Russian deal with Syria on September 15, 2013. He said, "It's not a matter of trust. It's a matter of whether it will be enforced. [Russia foreign secretary Sergei Lavrov] said 'there is nothing in this agreement about the use of force,' i.e. they will not agree to the use of force no matter what [Syrian President] Bashar Assad does." He added, "There is not a seriousness on the part of the Russians. We're going to see the Russians facilitating the departure of chemical weapons while plane load after plane load of Russian aircraft coming into Damascus full of weapons and devices to kill Syrians."[11]
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Syria authorization
On September 4, 2013, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee narrowly approved an authorization for President Obama to use limited force against Syria.[12] It was approved by a 10-7 vote.[13][12] The vote came after a three-hour briefing with top Obama administration officials, including Secretary of State John Kerry and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.[13]
Of the nine Democratic members and eight Republican members that made up the committee, seven Democrats and three Republicans voted in favor, while five Republicans and two Democrats opposed the authorization.[13] A single "present" vote was cast by Ed Markey (D). McCain was one of the three Republicans who approved the authorization.[14]
John Brennan CIA nomination
McCain voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[15]
Drone filibuster
On March 6, 2013, Senator Rand Paul (R) led a 13-hour filibuster of President Obama's CIA Director nominee, John Brennan. Paul started the filibuster in order to highlight his concerns about the administration's drone policies. In particular, Paul said he was concerned about whether a drone could be used to kill an American citizen within the United States border, without any due process involved. Paul and other civil liberties activists have been critical that President Obama did not offer a clear response to the question. A total of 14 senators joined Paul in the filibuster -- 13 Republicans and one Democrat.[16][17][18]
McCain spoke out against Rand Paul, following the filibuster. He quoted the following from a Wall Street Journal editorial criticizing the filibuster, "If Mr. Paul wants to be taken seriously, he needs to do more than pull political stunts that fire up impressionable libertarian kids in college dorms."[19]
McCain also blasted Paul for his remarks about the United States government being able to use a drone to kill an American citizen who spoke out against government policy, referencing Paul's comment about Jane Fonda. He stated, "To somehow say that someone who disagrees with American policy and even may demonstrate against it, is somehow a member of an organization which makes that individual an enemy combatant is simply false."[19]
He continued his criticism of Paul in the days following the filibuster. In an interview with the Huffington Post, McCain said: "They were elected, nobody believes that there was a corrupt election, anything else. But I also think that when, you know, it's always the wacko birds on right and left that get the media megaphone."[20]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
McCain voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspended the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[21]
Completion of fence along Mexico border
McCain voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[22]
Gang of Eight
McCain is a member of the group of senators deemed the "Gang of Eight." This term is used to reference eight of the most influential Senators on immigration reform and includes four senators from each party.[23] The group calls for comprehensive and bipartisan immigration legislation that includes their "four basic pillars":
- 1. A "tough but fair path to citizenship . . . .contingent upon securing our borders and tracking whether legal immigrants have left the country as required";
- 2. Reform our legal immigration system with a greater eye toward our economic needs;
- 3. Workplace verification; and
- 4. Setting up a system for admitting future workers (although the term "guest worker" is not used).[24]
Social Issues
McCain voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[25]
Expanded background checks on gun sales
On April 17, 2013, the U.S. Senate took a vote on and defeated a measure that would have expanded federal background checks for firearms purchases.[26] The vote was 54-46, with supporters falling six votes short of the required 60-vote threshold.[27] McCain was one of the 4 Republican Senators who voted in favor of the measure.[28]
Presidential preference
John McCain endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [29]

DEEP RUN — Early Thursday afternoon, an anxious soldier paced the empty hallways of South Lenoir High School — with a smile.
As the classrooms were busied by working students, he could only think of one thing during his walk from the school's front doors to his daughter's classroom: seeing her face.
Army Staff Sgt. Jerry Tyndall hadn't seen his only daughter for 11 months before Thursday. His U.S. Army duties included a nine-month deployment to Kuwait with the North Carolina Army National Guard.
He returned home Wednesday, but his daughter, Tanna Jo, was unaware of his arrival until he graced her English course in the middle of class the following day.
She was utterly shocked.
"I was surprised," was all Tanna Jo could stammer out through dried-up tears. "I was really surprised. I missed him a lot."
Her eyes grew wide and bright — as if she'd seen a ghost — when Tyndall made his way down a row of desks to meet her. Upon their first face-to-face encounter in nearly a year, all Tanna Jo could do was hug her father.
The pair's reunion sparked an arousing emotion visible throughout the classroom. Classmates wiped tears from their flushed faces, covered their ajar mouths or simply looked up to the huggers with heartwarming smiles.
Tyndall is home to stay.
"I knew I was going to tear up when I saw her," he said. "I was just so excited. I could see her trying to tear up (and) I knew she was happy."
Tyndall has been in the National Guard for 32 years and spent the last nine months in Kuwait as a motor vehicle sergeant. He is originally from Pink Hill and has a 24-year-old son. But Tanna Jo is a "daddy's girl."
He was unable to come home for Christmas, thus missing her 16th birthday which fell in the same month. Tyndall browsed YouTube videos for ways to surprise Tanna Jo and settled with the idea to walk into her classroom.
He was in contact with South Lenoir Principal Steve Saint-Amand for about 10 days before his homecoming, solidifying the plan as Thursday came closer.
"Her father has served our county overseas," Saint-Amand said. "It's a very emotional time for her, and we're just happy to be a part of it. We're all just very excited he was able to come back and share this moment with us."
Tanna Jo's classmates and teacher recognized how much she missed Tyndall. They said she talked about him often and even wrote about his distance in class essays.
"She's thrilled, I'm sure," said English teacher Megan Saint-Amand, the principal's wife. "She's such a sweet girl (and) a wonderful student. You just become family here, and just to be another part of an event in their lives is wonderful."
Summer Hartley said Tanna Jo is one of her best friends who heard her talk about how excited would be when Tyndall returned home.
"I was shocked because she said that her dad wasn't coming home for a while," Hartley, 15, said. "I know she really missed him. I'm really happy for her."
Students' sparkling eyes converted to applause after the initial stun of Tyndall's appearance faded away.
He will work toward retirement and a higher ranking since he is permanently at home, where the view outside his window expands beyond sandy dunes he experienced for nine months in Kuwait.
Tyndall said Tanna Jo always asked why he wouldn't just quit the Army since it's been more than 30 years, but now, she has nothing to worry about — no more Skype and Facebook for the Tyndalls.
"It feels wonderful," Jerry Tyndall said about coming home to see Tanna Jo. "She's my heart's strength."

Limestone Can't Miss from Long Range as Men's Basketball Falls 88-67 Despite Woods' 30
January 8, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Limestone College drained 13 three-point baskets seeming to never miss in an 88-67 win over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens basketball action on Saturday night in the Merner Gym. The victory keeps the Saints unbeaten in league play improving to 10-2, 5-0, while the Falcons snap their brief two-game win streak falling to 6-5, 4-1.
Limestones Michael Barrett (Virginia Beach, VA) set the tone early on with his first triple of the night 69 seconds in before hitting on another just 1:35 later for an early 8-5 lead. A three-point play by Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) squared the contest at 11 with 11:57 to play while the Saints took the lead for good a minute later on a layup by Jarrell Douglass (Leesburg, FL).
The Saints began to close out the first half on a 20-6 run with triples from Ashton Ford (Charlotte, NC) and Ryan Bogdan (Charleston, SC). Stewart Clark (Atlanta, GA) hit on the Saints fifth and final three of the half to put the visitors up as much as 17, but a pair of Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) free throws cut the Pfeiffer deficit down to 15, 36-21, at the intermission.
After a quick lay in by Douglass to start the second half, the Falcons trimmed the lead down to a dozen on another Woods three-point play and layup by Hollinger. Another rapid 10-2 spurt by Limestone quickly pushed the lead to 20 on another Bogdan triple and jumper by Douglass just four minutes into the final stanza.
Woods and Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) each got the Falcons to within 16 on a free throw and jumper, but Bogdan, Ford, and Clark would continue to connect from long distance to preserve the healthy Limestone lead. Humphreys layup with 3:31 to play cut the lead down to 15 on a last-chance comeback until Limestone finished off the hosts with a 10-4 run to run away with the win.
In addition to their 39 points from long range, Limestone balanced their attack with 40 points coming in the paint. The Saints shot 48% from the field overall, out-rebounding the Falcons 45-34. Pfeiffer connected on 36% of their shots on Saturday, draining six triples, while going 15-of-17 from the charity stripe.
Douglass led the Saints with a double-double putting in 21 points with 11 rebounds. Four others for Limestone finished in double figures as Clark scored 15, while Danny Friend (Morrow, GA) and Barrett chipped in with 13. Bogdan concluded with 12 going 4-for-8 from long distance. For Pfeiffer, Woods continued his season-long tear with 30 points and 11 rebounds nearly having another perfect night at the free throw line. Hollinger was the only other Falcon in double figures scoring 12.
Pfeiffer will now take a much-needed three days off before hosting the University of D.C. on Wednesday night. The non-conference tilt will begin at 7:00 p.m.

We recently told you that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved applications for horse slaughter inspections at Valley Meat Company LLC in Roswell, New Mexico, and Responsible Transportation in Sigourney, Iowa. The USDA is likely to also grant horse slaughter inspections at Rains Natural Meats plant in Gallatin, Missouri, in the coming days.
This week we learned that no horse slaughter plants will be granted inspections until at least July 29 as a result of a lawsuit filed against the USDA by several animal welfare organizations.
This lawsuit buys critical time for our horses. The Agriculture Appropriations bills, which contain language that would prevent horse slaughter in the U.S., are expected to pass in the coming months. We are seeing building momentum for the Safeguard American Food Exports (SAFE) Act, which would prevent the slaughter of horses in the U.S., end the current export of American horses for slaughter abroad and protect consumers from unknowingly ingesting toxic horse meat.
Please be a voice for horses TODAY: Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the SAFE Act to end this horrific threat to American horses and protect the public. This is a pivotal time for horses and they need your voice more than ever!
Well said lobolady23, I'm behind you 1000 percent.......Why wouldn't the government listen???? Yes it's all about greed. Now their taking our mustangs. They totally ignore the 1971 "Wild horse and burro act" to protect them. This makes me sick
I totally agree with lobolady and Donna, greed is the biggest part. The mustangs being warehoused at Palamino Valley are being Abused,left to swelter in triple digit weather with no shelter and some have succumbed to the heat. What a shame the
people have delved into this heinous practice :(
I stand with all of you 100% as well- it makes me so sick that these people don't care at all about the horses...it actually sickens me and I have tried calling to stand up for them and the "Safe Act" but I am so worried for them...is there anything else we can do?
Thank you for your remarks!
100 % agree with your statement, lobolady23. Tired of the same argument the pro-slaughter folks post.
While slaughter may not prevent the abandonment and/or starvation of "unwanted" horses, it is a solution of what to do with horses that are unwanted. I say unwanted because if they were wanted, they wouldn't have ended up at sale being purchased by a killer buyer.
The idea of horses being killed is gruesome and horrific, however, horses being abandoned without food, water or shelter, left to slowly starve to death and die of thirst, sick, injured and neglected, suffering excruciatingly for the long period of time that it takes them to die - THAT is even more gruesome and horrific.
Unfortunately people are not responsible. This is nothing new. I agree the entire situation is awful, but at this time slaughter is a viable option. I would much rather any living creature have a quick death than be tortured to death over months.
Wiley Coyote, many of the horses abandoned in the west are done so by kill buyers when they dump them at the border because they've been rejected at the slaughterhouses in Mexico. Starving and abandoned horses are a result of human ignorance. If slaughter houses reopen, it will get much worse because ignorant owners will have a disposal. Killing off horses so that people can continue to breed them irresponsibly is wrong. It will not solve the problem.
If you have indeed been an "outfitter, trainer, and breeder for over 50 years," I'd say it's high time you got out of the business, a**hole!
How about the licensing and regulation of breeders?.. We have tougher laws in Canada when it comes to selling cars. As a Canadian I am disgusted that we slaughter horses but those of us that care are working to change that. Even if slaughter is banned here and in the United states, people will continue to breed for no other purpose then to turn a profit resulting in unwanted and neglected horses.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires Edge 26" MTB Tire:
Only had a chance to ride these on the snow on my steel rigid, but the super wide 2.5" tire with low pressure works great. Lots of traction even in the soft snow. These tires are burley, so I will probably put them on my AM bike this spring and try them tubeless.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires Edge 26" MTB Tire:
Put these on for winter riding up in the northeast. Grip well when the frost melts and things get greasy, or there's a little snow on the ground. Heavy, but it's winter, who cares. Will switch them out when weather warms up and trails dry out. They do the trick for now.

Comments about Intense Tire Systems Intense Tires Edge 26" MTB Tire:
I picked this up and have a couple of days of riding on it. I can't speak to the durability of the tire, but it has saved my skin a few times already. It seemed to find traction where I wouldn't have thought possible. Rode a trail that went from hard-pack to sand to snow to softer dirt to beds of pine needles. It seemed to hold a line pretty well. I'm running this as a front tire, and was able to carry speed through the section of the trail that would have previously sent my front wheel out from under me.
Compared to a set of Maxxis Minions, this tire is incredibly wide. The 2.5 Minions are much narrower than this tire. I happen to like it, but could see where some people would have clearance issues, or reservations about running this wide of a tire. Don't order this 2.5 and expect it to be narrow.
Another thing I noticed pretty quickly, but don't really have any issues with is that it does seem to pick up rocks pretty well. It seems that there's always a rock stuck in the knobs. More than a few times today, I saw a rock come flying off my front tire and head straight for the guy in front of me. None of them hit, but I suppose it could be a minor nuisance to ride in front of the guy with this tire? *shrugs*

Yes, these conversations are appropriate for a birth board. If you don't like to argue, it's not a requirement, feel free to click away. BBC rules ALWAYS STAND, ladies. No personal attacks, don't be shitty and ruin it for everyone.
Now on to the fun.
Do you think WIC should require new moms to educate themselves and make a valid attempt at breastfeeding?
For instance, a mandatory breastfeeding education class before baby is born and then afterwards a doctor's note to get formula? If a mom has true low supply, baby is tongue tied, or she has a psychological health reason, a doctor would obviously be willing to excuse mom from this requirement.
But when people expect the state to pay for their formula ($$$), do you think they should have to make a concerted effort to nurse before the state steps in to help?
Why or why not?

Microsoft's Software is Malware
Other examples of proprietary malware
Malware means software designed to function in ways that mistreat or harm the user. (This does not include accidental errors.) This page explains how Microsoft software is malware.
Malware and nonfree software are two different issues. The difference between free software and nonfree software is in whether the users have control of the program or vice versa. It's not directly a question of what the program does when it runs. However, in practice nonfree software is often malware, because the developer's awareness that the users would be powerless to fix any malicious functionalities tempts the developer to impose some.
Windows 10 requires users to give permission for total snooping, including their files, their commands, their text input, and their voice input.
Microsoft Windows has a universal back door through which any change whatsoever can be imposed on the users.
More information on when this was used.
Windows 8 also has a back door for remotely deleting apps.
You might well decide to let a security service that you trust remotely deactivate programs that it considers malicious. But there is no excuse for deleting the programs, and you should have the right to decide who (if anyone) to trust in this way.
Windows 8's back doors are so gaping that the German government has decided it can't be trusted.
Windows 8 on "mobile devices" is a jail: it censors the user's choice of application programs.
Mobile devices that come with Windows 8 are tyrants: they block users from installing other or modified operating systems.
DRM (digital restrictions mechanisms) in Windows, introduced to cater to Bluray disks. (The article also talks about how the same malware would later be introduced in MacOS.)
- Spyware in Windows: Windows Update snoops on the user. Windows 8.1 snoops on local searches. And there's a secret NSA key in Windows, whose functions we don't know.
Microsoft informs the NSA of bugs in Windows before fixing them.
Microsoft SkyDrive allows the NSA to directly examine users' data.
Microsoft cut off security fixes for Windows XP, except to some big users that pay exorbitantly.
Microsoft is going to cut off support for some Internet Explorer versions in the same way.
I think a person or company has the right to cease to work on a particular program; the wrong here is Microsoft does this after having made the users dependent on Microsoft, so they are not free to ask someone else to work on the program for them.
As this page shows, if you do want to clean your computer of malware, the first software to delete is Windows.

Getting started with navigation just got even easier
May 13 2011
Getting started with navigation just got even easier
London, 13 May 2011- Today, TomTom brings heightened comfort and style to the first-time satnav category with the new TomTom Start 20 series. In this series, TomTom combines an attractive design, larger screen sizes and a new operating system for even smarter navigation.
"New satnav users can benefit from enhanced safety and comfort, all wrapped up in a very stylish, easy-to-use package," says Corinne Vigreux, Managing Director Consumer at TomTom. "No other satnav provider offers such good looks and intelligent features in a range that is predominantly aimed at first-time buyers."
The TomTom Start 20 series gives drivers a bigger and better view of their route. This is thanks to a choice of larger - 4.3" or 5" - screens. They feature a new design that is also safe and practical. The orientation sensor within the devices - coupled with the fully integrated flip screen mount - lets drivers mount their device to their dashboard, automatically rotating the screen 180 degrees. All they need to add is a dashboard mounting disk.
TomTom has added two million kilometres of new roads to the maps in the Start 20 series, including roads in rural areas, enhancing graphics for built-up areas, water features and forests. The maps contain twice as many Points of Interest (POI) as before, and the POIs themselves are richer - offering details such as phone numbers and opening hours. Maps also feature IQ Routes, to give drivers reliable arrival times. Add Speed Camera warnings* to alert drivers to upcoming fixed speed camera locations, and the "Help Me!" emergency menu to give drivers local emergency information quickly, and it's everything any new driver could need to truly get started with navigation.
- The TomTom Start 20 (UK/Republic of Ireland maps) has a 4.3" screen and costs £129.99.
- The TomTom Start 20 Europe has a 4.3" screen and costs £149.99.
- The TomTom Start 25 Europe has a 5" screen and costs £169.99.
For more information please go to:
Notes for Editors
Additional features include:
- • Advanced lane guidance clearly shows which lane to take at junctions so drivers don't miss a turning, with realistic 3D representation ensuring drivers stay relaxed and safe at the most difficult highway intersections.
- • Parking assist lets drivers navigate to parking near their destination or en route.
- • The spoken street names feature helps drivers keep their eyes on the road, to make turnings even clearer.
- • A frequent destinations feature lets drivers choose icons for their most frequently visited destinations, and add their own text relating to these places.
- • The Start 20 series uses MyTomTom, the online dashboard which makes it even easier for users to keep their device updated. They can even add their own Points of Interest with ease.
- • Built-in Micro SD slot, which will enable drivers to access even richer content in the future. This will be enabled via a software update in summer 2011.
* Where available and legal.

Time Walz, "Goals"[20]
Campaign Issues
- Tackling the Debt
Excerpt: "Tim believes we need to confront the national debt in a responsible way that does not harm the economy. By taking a balanced approach that includes cutting wasteful programs, finding more efficiency, closing tax loopholes and bringing more fairness to our tax system, we can responsibly and collectively solve our debt problem."[21]
- The Walz Bipartisan Energy Plan
Excerpt: "The plan increases offshore oil drilling in the short term in a responsible way, and invests the royalty payments made by oil companies for the new offshore drilling to fund renewable energy research, infrastructure renewal, conservation, and environmental restoration – all without raising taxes."[22]
- Revitalizing Our Economy to Work for Middle Class Families
Excerpt: "Tim has fully supported the growth and protection of the backbone of our economy: the middle class. It's imperative we grow our economy and allow small-businesses the ability to create and expand jobs. This, along with putting money directly in middle class family's pockets who will spend it at their grocery stores or use it to fix their homes, will help us tackle our long-term debt."[23]
- Walz Jobs Plan
Excerpt: "There are three critical components to Walz's jobs plan: Tax credits, tax cuts, access to capital, and incentives for hiring; Investments in infrastructure; Stabilizing energy costs, investing in rural America's next big industry."[24]

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease
The purpose of Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease is to provide in-depth, scholarly review articles about the care and management of persons with early kidney disease and kidney failure, as well as those at risk for kidney disease. Emphasis is on articles related to the early identification of kidney disease; prevention or delay in progression of kidney disease; the multidisciplinary case management of patients with chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, organ effects of kidney disease; epidemiology and outcomes research in chronic kidney disease; benefits and complications of the primary treatment methods, dialysis and transplantation; technical aspects of the delivery of uremia therapy; care of the critically ill patient with kidney failure in the intensive care setting; new therapies for kidney failure; and health care research in chronic kidney disease. The full spectrum of basic science through clinical care is covered in these reviews. Clinical care issues stress the multidisciplinary team approach to the care of kidney patients. Topics covered will be of interest to practicing nephrologists (pediatric and adult), nephrology fellows (pediatric and adult), nurses, technicians, dietitians, and social workers caring for patients with kidney disease. Each bimonthly issue of Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease presents focused review articles devoted to a single topic of current importance in clinical nephrology and related fields.

WTOP's Thomas Warren reports from Bethesda.
Michelle Basch,
WASHINGTON - Black Friday is over, but businesses nationwide are offering deals for the third annual Small Business Saturday.
Deals vary from store to store. Some participating shops are offering discounts, while others are giving away free items.
Jean Card, spokesperson for the National Federation of Independent Business, says small businesses are important to the economy, and shoppers who spend money near their home invest in their community.
"When you're dealing with a small business owner, or the staff at a retail establishment or a restaurant, you know that those are your neighbors and those are local jobs, and all the money stays within your community," Card says.
Gillian Roth, co-owner of the family-run business Urban Country in Bethesda, says customers are imperative for bolstering the local economy.
"Our customers keep us in business," she says.
Katria Young, manager at Tugooh Toys and Yiro in Bethesda, Md. says small businesses can provide more for the community than corporate retail stores. Her store offers book readings, arts and crafts and other free activities for children.
Small businesses also offer merchandise that consumers won't find on department store shelves, Card says.
"For example, that special gift that no one else has, that thing you can't find anywhere else...and also customer service," Card says.
The National Federation of Independent Business has a list of Small Business Saturday deals and American Express has provided a map to find small businesses based on location. On Twitter, shoppers can follow @ShopSmall and use the hashtag #SmallBizSat to find deals.
If you have an American Express card, you can sign up to get a one-time $25 statement credit when you spend $25 at a participating small business on Saturday. Enrollment in this offer is limited, so if you're interested sign up now here.
