ESPN vs. Deadspin
On November 3, 2009 By Mark Donnell July 22, 2010
ESPN baseball analyst and former NY Mets GM Steve Phillips was recently fired by the network after the NY Post ran a story exposing him for an extramarital affair with a 22-year old production manager and coworker named Brooke Hundley. Apparently things got ugly for Phillips after he tried to break it off [...]Continue Reading →

Do you have a goal or goals that you really want to accomplished? Then this is for you. In my fitness career, I had the privilege of working with clients who had no support system in place with their goals. Trainer tip: If you have family, friend, co-workers, personal trainer, or anyone that encourage and believe in you and what you want to accomplish is your support. When making life changing goals, why do you allow yourself to be around anyone, or anything that does not support your goals. Setting goals to change your life, require a new "SUPPORT SYSTEM".
Hey let's chat for a minute about goals and planning. When we think about the nutritional side of our program, we need to start planning ahead so that you can stay on track of your goals. Sometime life responsibility (work, family, stress, and financial changes), can take us off our path to success when we allow things in life to get the best of us. Start planning your meals for the week, and develop a strong commitment to getting more rest, for optimal performance during the time of training. So start planning now to enhance your performance for optimal goal results.

Milan Lucic hearing scheduled for Sunday
|12.24.10 at 2:52 pm ET
According to a tweet from TSN's Darren Dreger, a hearing has been set for Sunday between the league and Bruins forward Milan Lucic. The 22-year-old faces a suspension after receiving a match penalty for clocking Thrashers defenseman Freddy Meyer in the temple on Thursday following Meyer's high hit on Lucic. Because Gregory Campbell plays for the Bruins, Mike Murphy will handle the hearing rather than Colin Campbell.
Lucic said after the game that he — like coach Claude Julien — felt Meyer's hit was dirty, though Lucic added that he would "face the consequences" for the punch that refs deemed intent to injure.
The hit from Meyer resulted in a line-brawl between all skaters on the ice, with Nathan Horton fighting Evander Kane, Marc Savard taking on Bryan Little, and Andrew Ference dropping the gloves with Anthony Stewart.
The Bruins won the game, 4-1.

Sunday June 24, 2007
By HELEN ONG
Soak in the serenity of Taiping which still retains much of its old-world charm.
THERE'S something about this heritage town – at once bustling and yet laid-back, that really appeals to me.
Maybe it's because, as one of the oldest towns in Malaysia, it still retains much of its old-world charms. Maybe it's to do with the fact that both my parents were born here, and I associate many happy childhood memories with it.
Whatever it is, I love the place. Not only does it have different activities to keep the whole family occupied – from golf (the world-class Taiping Golf Resort is located just off the motorway) to heritage buildings, night safari and more– it also has some of the best food around.
Of course everyone knows it was called "T'ai Ping", Very Peaceful Town, by the British Administration in the aftermath of the bloody Larut Wars fought between the various Chinese mining factions. It is no wonder that the first purpose-built prison was built here in 1879.
Taiping can lay claim to many Malaysian "firsts". The Municipal Council proudly lists an amazing 33 events or places which date back to as early as 1844, including the museum, zoo, and the hill station, Maxwell Hills (now Bukit Larut), built in 1870.
To transport tin to Port Weld (Kuala Sepetang) to Penang, the first railway also ran from here.
Of course no article about Taiping would be complete without mention of its famous Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik), another first, converted from old disused tin mines in 1880. There is nothing more reminiscent of childhood for me than to drive under the graceful boughs of the ancient angsanas (raintrees) which line the peaceful road circling it.
As Taiping lies in the lee of the Larut Hills, it is the wettest region in Peninsular Malaysia, getting almost twice the average rainfall as other places.
Storm clouds gather around the hills practically every afternoon to pelt out some quite heavy rains which can last up to an hour or more, cooling down the humid afternoon and evening.
Despite modernisation, rapid expansion and many new buildings – there is a hypermarket coming up soon – the old town centre, thankfully, remains the same. It was rebuilt in 1880 following the great fire which destroyed practically everything in town, and which gave the administration a chance to design better roads and buildings.
As for food, where does one start? It takes a lot for me to say that anything outside Penang is acceptable, but here I willingly concede that this town has reason to be proud of some great dishes.
Everyone's heard about Taiping's popiah and roast pork, but there are other delicious offerings as well.
One breakfast noodle that has become synonymous with Taiping is chee cheong fun. It's different from Penang's, and also different from KL's version which is firmer.
My favourite, which used to be sold from a roadside stall at Cross Street, has now moved to the Taiping Hawker Centre at Tupai Road. Tong Fook Chooi's great-grandfather started the business by selling his own chee cheong fun door to door almost 60 years ago. He now runs the stall with help from his family. The noodles are made fresh every day, steamed at home and brought by motorbike to the stall at regular intervals so it is hot off the press, so to speak.
Its soft, smooth almost cottony texture, roughly chopped and served with a good dollop of special sauce, chilli sauce, a bit of onion oil and the must-have sprinkling of homemade eu chang (fried onions) over it, all goes down as a real treat. Tong's chee cheong fun is so popular that they are sold out by 11am every day!
Another popular breakfast noodle is Taiping's homegrown kai see meen or chicken noodle soup, started by Ah Lan Cheh with her mother in the early 1960s. Coincidentally, their stall is right next to Tong grandfather's stall at Cross Street.
Ah Lan Cheh's business became so successful that they opened up their own coffee shop "Kakak" (sister) at Market Road, and have been operating from there ever since.
It's a simple but very successful recipe – a tasty, clear chicken stock ladled over yellow mee, kuey teow or lou si fun (bee tai bak), topped with eu chang and a good sprinkling of chopped spring onions, served with homemade sambal belacan.
As the soup is not spicy, it's popular with everyone, and you can see why the place is packed out, with the crowd – comprising different generations of the same family from toddlers, to parents and grandparents – spilling out onto the road.
"Many customers grew up eating our kai see meen, and even though they have left Taiping, they come back with their children for it," said Teng Aun Seng, who helps his sister run the shop.
Teng also developed the "Kakak Special" – Nescafe made with hot barley, which was actually the result of a mistake but turned out to be a delicious, aromatic drink, unique to them. It has become very popular with their clients.
But if you fancy a bit of everything, then go to the Casual Market, a heaving, bustling hawker centre which starts early in the morning and goes on all day till late at night. It's teeming with people on the prowl for good food, and stalls there sell everything, including one of the best ban chang kueh I've ever had – thin, crispy and nutty.
You will find a few stalls here which serve yet another Taiping speciality which I am told is not available anywhere else in Malaysia – the "hoo uwan kuey teow", the smooth, flat rice noodles, slightly more robust than the soup type, are cooked in dark gravy flavoured with fishballs. It's really quite unique, and tastes fantastic with chopped chilli padi.
The folks of this town really love their food. At practically every corner, you will find a coffee shop famous for one thing or another, from the aromatic Hainanese Chicken Rice with its special chilli and ginger sauce at Ayer Kacang or Swiss Hotel, to Prima Coffee Shop with its many stalls.
Many Taiping folks may have left their hometown to make their fortune and their mark on the world, but they will always have a place in their heart for this lovely town of everlasting peace.

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet says Ji Dong-won will see action against Aston Villa today.
Ji has been linked with a move to Borussia Dortmund this month.
"I plan to include Ji in the squad for the game against Aston Villa," said Poyet.
"He's an interesting character because he is different from the other strikers we have and the bottom line is that we do not have many options when it comes to attack.
"We have Steven Fletcher and we have Jozy Altidore – we don't know yet about Fabio Borini – but Ji gives us another option.
"And even before Fabio was taken ill, I still had it in my mind to include Ji in my squad against Villa anyway."

My cousin's rabbits were killed by their neighbours cat this morning.
Do they have any legal recourse? Or any recourse at all really?
My cousin's rabbits were killed by their neighbours cat this morning.
Do they have any legal recourse? Or any recourse at all really?
I really can't help with your question and I am very sorry for the loss of the little bunnies :(
..but it does bring up something that really annoys me. Why is it that cats are allowed to roam free, but no other pet can? I don't let my dog run around and poop on other people's yards, so why is it I have to clean up cat poop when I don't own one? My dog has to have tags and a harness and all that jazz, but for some reason if you own a cat it can go wherever it pleases? I never got it. It just bugs me..
sorry..I'm done...back to Dawn now
drives me nuts too we have cats everywhere and they poop all the time in out garden, and when you cut the grass it makes you want to throw up.
is there anything you can pt down that cats dont like, was thinking of the rubber spiked strips that go on top of fences or the like
any ideas?
Well you can tell that to her kids. :(Originally Posted by britchick, post: 170115
Nope, nothing at all. All the things you'd think MAY work, trespass, dangerous, etc. generally speaking won't apply in that situationOriginally Posted by Dawn, post: 170110

Well that stinks.
I have "shot" a cat that craps in our garden with the garden hose managed to chase it up the garden and well to say it looked a drowned rat by the time it jumped the fence was an understatement and i have got him a couple of time since and if he sees anyone in the hose he legs it over the fence. Put some mustard in a bit of fish one time left it where he jumps down and should have seen it coughing suprised it found its way home with the tears that must have been running down its cheeks...dont come in me garden now.....if any other cat comes in my garden and tries to swipe a claw at Barney then it will get same treatment.
Apparently pepper is supposed to be a good deterant, put it down where the cat comes into the garden as often once they land they tend to sniff the imediate area.

Ainge's towel toss under league review
|05.05.10 at 9:07 am ET
When he played, Celtics general manager Danny Ainge was known as a guy who would do anything to win. Apparently, he hasn't lost that edge. During Monday night's game in Cleveland, Ainge, sitting just to the side of the basket, threw a towel in the air in an attempt to distract J.J. Hickson, who was shooting a free throw. An NBA spokesman said "The situation is under review."
Cavaliers coach Mike Brown didn't seem too concerned after the game, saying: "That was interesting to see that happen during the flow of the game, from Danny Ainge. If it's within the rules, hey, at this time, you do whatever you can to win. As long as it's within the rules."

MOM orders Five Stars Tours to pay wages owing to ex-staff
Published on Jan 25, 2014 7:56 AM
Defunct travel agency Five Stars Tours has been ordered by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to pay wages owing to 108 of its former staff.
It has been set a Feb 5 deadline to do so after a four-hour inquiry chaired by the Assistant Commissioner of Labour at MOM's Bendeemer premises on Thursday.
"One hundred and eight claimants and their former employer agreed on the amount of salaries owed," a spokesman said. "The responsibility to pay the salaries rests on the employer."
The ministry did not specify the amount of wages owed, but Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that the total was more than $300,000.

49ers take DL Dial out of Alabama in fifth round
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP)
The San Francisco 49ers selected defensive lineman Quinton Dial out of Alabama with their fifth-round selection in the NFL draft Saturday, further strengthening an area in which the team lost two of its top players during free agency.
The 49ers also used a second-round selection Friday to draft Florida State's Tank Carradine to fortify the team's defensive front wall. Carradine is expected to play at end in San Francisco's 3-4 defensive alignment while Dial is projected to play inside at nose tackle in the line rotation.
The 49ers lost starting nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga to the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency and Rickey Jean Francois, the top reserve in their line rotation for several seasons, signed with the Indianapolis Colts.
Dial will get an opportunity to work into the mix and fill those voids.

I would like to be able to perform a ping and traceroute from within Python without having to execute the corresponding shell commands so I'd prefer a native python solution.
Running interpreters as root is often frowned upon on security grounds (and of course you DO need to have root permission to access the "raw" socked as needed by the ICMP specs of ping and traceroute!), but if you have no problems with that it's not hard -- e.g., this post gives a workable ping, and Jeremy Hylton's old page has still-usable underlying code for ICMP (both ping and traceroute) though it's written for very old Python versions and needs a litte facelift to shine with modern ones -- but, the concepts ARE all there, in both the URLs I gave you!
If you don't mind using an external module and not using UDP or TCP, scapy is an easy solution:
Or you can use the tcp version
Please note you will have to run scapy as root in order to be able to perform these tasks or you will get:
you might want to check out the scapy package. it's the swiss army knife of network tools for python.
ICMP Ping is standard as part of the ICMP protocol.
Traceroute uses features of ICMP and IP to determine a path via Time To Live values. Using TTL values, you can do traceroutes in a variety of protocols as long as IP/ICMP work because it is the ICMP TTL EXceeded messages that tell you about the hop in the path.
If you attempt to access a port where no listener is available, by ICMP protocol rules, the host is supposed to send an ICMP Port Unreachable message.
I wrote a simple tcptraceroute in python which does not need root privileges http://www.thomas-guettler.de/scripts/tcptraceroute.py.txt
But it can't display the IP addresses of the intermediate hops. But sometimes it is useful, since you can guess where the blocking firewall is: Either at the beginning or at the end of the route.

Ubaldo Jimenez's bad outing blamed on cut cuticle
DENVER A cracked cuticle was the culprit in Ubaldo Jimenez's unusually poor performance on opening day, and it could force him to miss his next start.
The Colorado Rockies' ace said Saturday that he was putting ointment on the cut and taping it up for two days in hopes of avoiding infection and speeding the healing.
Both Jimenez and manager Jim Tracy expressed confidence that the right-hander, who started the All-Star game for the NL last season, would make his next start Thursday at Pittsburgh.
"I think it will be good, especially because we have an extra day," with no game Monday, Jimenez said.
Tracy, however, said he wouldn't hesitate to skip Jimenez if he's still feeling the effects of the injury.
"I had a conversation with him today and we're going to keep a close eye on it, I can promise you that," Tracy said. "Because I don't want to see him go out there and try to pitch like that again next Thursday, I don't want to see it."
On Friday, Jimenez couldn't grip the ball properly and lacked spin on his breaking pitches and oomph on his fastballs, surrendering six runs and seven hits over six innings against Arizona. At times, it looked as if Jimenez was throwing batting practice to the Diamondbacks, who collected six extra-base hits off him in a game they won 7-6 in 11 innings.
Afterward, Jimenez said he just had a bad day at the ballpark. On Saturday, he acknowledged the real reason for his awful outing.
"I didn't feel comfortable with my thumb and I couldn't put any pressure on the ball," Jimenez said. "It's not about mechanics. I don't like to bring up an excuse; I had a bad game. But anyone who was watching the game could tell something was wrong."
Tracy said he wants Jimenez to avoid trying to compensate for the pain by changing his thumb pressure or placement on the ball, which could quickly unravel his mechanics.
"There's every reason to think that he will (make his next start) if this thing can get to where it needs to be for him to be who he is," Tracy said. "But if not, and we need to back off for a start in order to give him five more days ... we'll make that decision at that time."
Jimenez dealt with the same injury last season and again at spring training early last month, although that cut was in a different spot. He said his cuticle cracked this time near the base of the nail and on the right side where it affects his grip while he was throwing during the Rockies' workout Thursday.
He blamed the return to a high altitude and Denver's dry air where skin loses its natural moisture.
Jimenez said he never considered going to Tracy and begging off his opening-day start, figuring he'd fight through it instead: "No way. I was like, 'I have to go out there and try to find a way to compete,'" he said. "It was kind of hard."

3 Hour Glucose Test
Comments (7)
Its more like 4 hrs. Be prepared. They take your blood when you first get in to see what your numbers are from fasting. Then you have to wait about 30 min until those results come in to proceed to the drink. After you drink, recheck blood each hour for 3 hours after that. I didnt get pricked in the finger or anything like that, just 4 blood draws, which still sucked. Passed though & did fail my one hour by 9 points.
I've got to do mine tomorrow. I was going to do it today but when I called the lab, they only do the 3 hour in the mornings so I have to start it at 7:30 tomorrow morning. I'm hoping everything goes well. The lady told me to fast for at least 8 hours. I have been drinking water all day for the past 4 days and one drink that has some sugar in it (V8 has like 18g of sugar in it) So I'm working on what goes in my mouth. I haven't had any sweets. :( I really, really want some mini M&M's or some KitKat bars!
Just a note, your body has an autoimmune response to your placenta when you have gestational diabetes. In a lot of cases it can be controlled by diet, so all of the extra fruit may have skewed your numbers. I tested for it and I certainly eat a lot of fruit myself. Better safe than sorry though because it can really harm the baby. Good luck on your test!
Mackenzie Rafferty, born 2/22/2013 at 5:06 am!!!
Seems like all offices are different. For me, they did a fasting, I drank the 100 g of glucose and had 3 draws...one each hour. They told me NOTHING there, they send all blood out. I personally did my own checks with my personal meter right after they did a draw each time to get an idea. I failed the 1 hour badly....with a 170. I'm still confused by my body....The 1 hour was only 50 g of glucose and I had the 170 at 1 hour. After drinking the 100 g of glucose....1 hour was 153 (MUCH lower than the first test), 2 hour was 125 and 3 hour was 100. Because the 1 hour was so high, my OB has me checking my sugar 6 times a day now...fasting, 2 hr after breakfast, fasting, 2 hour after lunch, fasting, and 2 hour after dinner. It's a pain, especially at work when it's hard to get it at 2 hours each time so some are more like 2 hours and 15 minutes....but they've all been awesome today....the first 3 were 80 and the 4th was 84.

Will the Tooth Fairy fall for it? Plus three other stories so funny they are sure to make your teeth fall out. (Okay, not really…)
Francesca Simon is one of the world's best-loved children's authors. She is the only American to have ever won the Galaxy Book Award, and her creation, Horrid Henry, is the #1 bestselling chapter book series in the UK—with a hit TV show and over fi fteen million copies sold! Each book contains four easy-to-read stories and hilarious illustrations by the one and only Tony Ross, so even the most reluctant of readers won't be able to resist Henry's amazing talent for trouble!
"Will make you laugh out loud."
—Sunday Times
Look inside to see what kids and adults have to say about the master of mischief!
Why Horrid Henry?
Kids love it!
"I love the Horrid Henry books by Francesca Simon. They have lots of funny bits in. And Henry always gets into trouble!"
Mia, age 6, BBC Learning is Fun
"It's easy to see why Horrid Henry is the bestselling character for 5-8 year olds."
Liverpool Echo
Because it's funny
"My two boys love this book and I have actually had tears running down my face and had to stop reading because of laughing so hard. My oldest son is rereading all the books in this series on his own now and he still loves them. Happy reading!"
T. Franklin, Parent
"A modern comic classic."
SF Said, Guardian Children's Books Supplement
Kids get to be harmlessly rebellious
"Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant readers... little rebels will love this collection and even little angels will be secretly thrilled by Henry's anti-heroic behaviour."
Henry's naughtiness is a yardstick against which children can get a sense of their own moral goodness and social justice
"What is brilliant about the books is that Henry never does anything that is subversive. She creates an aura of supreme naughtiness (of which children are in awe) but points out that he operates within a safe and secure world."
Emily Turner, Angels And Urchins Magazine
Reaches the most important age group - children who are learning to read
"I have tried out the Horrid Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher. Children love to either hear them read aloud or to read them themselves. The books are spot on for the 5-8 age range and are fun for the adults who share them too."
Danielle Hall, Teacher
The structure provides new readers with a real sense of accomplishment
"My son is 7 years old and a big Horrid Henry fan. This book lived up to his expectations! Horrid Henry is like most boys: he always has a plan and is always getting into mischief! It was amusing, and he could not put it down. Can't wait for the next. He read it cover to cover by himself in 2 days! That for me sells a book! He can't wait for the next one to be published. He has recommended it to all his friends."
Mrs. Tami Gold, Parent
Reaches both boys and girls equally
"Wonderfully appealing to girls and boys alike, a precious rarity at this age."
Judith Woods, Times Books
A global publishing phenomenon with 12 million copies sold!
"Parents reading them aloud may be consoled to discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own offspring." Independent
"An absolutely fantastic series and surely a winner with all children. My son took this book as his favourite during book week at his school and converted a few children to the cause. Long live Francesca Simon and her brilliant books! More, more please!"
"My 5-year-old adores them so much he couldn't wait to start reading because of them."
"I really like Horrid Henry and like reading it to my dad. It's funny!"
Matthew, 9, St. Albans
"Horrid Henry is a fabulous anti-hero: monstrously selfish and greedy, he does things most children only dream about... a modern comic classic."
The Guardian
"My 6-year-old son has now read the whole series unaided and is quite content to re-read the stories again and again. My 5-year-old is dying to be able to read well enough so she can read them independently too!"
"Henry is really naughty and makes me laugh. He's very funny and he has lots of adventures."
Martha, age 5, Bella
"A flicker of recognition must pass through most teachers and parents when they read Horrid Henry. There's a tiny bit of him in all of us."
Child Education
"It didn't even make it to the library shelves and there's a long waiting list for it! Enough said."
Nancy Astee, Child Education
"A definite must for every teacher - reading about Henry makes your naughtiest child seem like a saint!"
"As a teacher of 8-year-olds, it's great to get a series of books my class love... They torment me to lend them the books so they can read them on their own. Need I say more?"
Excerpt from Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy
''It's not fair!'' shrieked Horrid Henry. He trampled on Dad's new flower bed, squashing the pansies. ''It's just not fair!''
Moody Margaret had lost two teeth. Sour Susan had lost three. Clever Clare lost two in one day. Rude Ralph had lost four, two top and two bottom, and could spit to the blackboard from his desk. Greedy Graham's teeth were pouring out. Even Weepy William had lost one—and that was ages ago.
Every day someone swaggered into school showing off a big black toothy gap and waving fifty cents or even a dollar that the Tooth Fairy had brought. Everyone, that is, but Henry.
''It's not fair!'' shouted Henry again. He yanked on his teeth. He pulled, he pushed, he tweaked, and he tugged.
They would not budge.
His teeth were superglued to his gums.
''Why me?'' moaned Henry, stomping on the petunias. ''Why am I the only one who hasn't lost a tooth?''
Horrid Henry sat in his fort and scowled. He was sick and tired of other kids flaunting their ugly wobbly teeth and disgusting holes in their gums. The next person who so much as mentioned the word ''tooth'' had better watch out.
''HENRY!'' shouted a squeaky little voice. ''Where are you?''
Horrid Henry hid behind the branches.
''I know you're in the fort, Henry,'' said Perfect Peter.
''Go away!'' said Henry.
''Look, Henry,'' said Peter. ''I've got something wonderful to show you.''
Henry scowled. ''What?''
''You have to see it,'' said Peter. Peter never had anything good to show. His idea of something wonderful was a new stamp, or a book about plants, or a gold star from his teacher saying how perfect he'd been. Still…
Henry crawled out.
''This better be good,'' he said.
''Or you're in big trouble.''
Peter held out his fist and opened it. There was something small and white in Peter's hand. It looked like…no, it couldn't be.
Henry stared at Peter. Peter smiled as wide as he could. Henry's jaw dropped. This was impossible. His eyes must be playing tricks on him. Henry blinked. Then he blinked again.
His eyes were not playing tricks.
Perfect Peter, his younger brother, had a black gap at the bottom of his mouth where a tooth had been.
Henry grabbed Peter. ''You colored in your tooth with black crayon, you faker.''
''Have not!'' shrieked Peter. ''It fell out. See.''
Peter proudly poked his finger through the hole in his mouth.
It was true. Perfect Peter had lost a tooth. Henry felt as if a fist had slammed into his stomach.
''Told you,'' said Peter. He smiled again at Henry.
Henry could not bear to look at Peter's gappy teeth a second longer. This was the worst thing that had ever happened to him.
''I hate you!'' shrieked Henry. He was a volcano pouring hot molten lava onto the puny human foolish enough to get in his way.

This was our first Horrid Henry book and our son and daughter who are 4.5 years apart both loved it. They're "good kids" and love hearing about a mischievous child and what happens with his antics. I would definitely recommend for 5-year-old second children and their siblings.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

Another delightful collection of stories (4) that will not disappoint you. Without spoiling the stories, just know this, you cannot go wrong with getting any of the Horrid Henry books. They keep the young reader riveted...especially boys. My second graders cannot get enough of Henry and the clever alliterations littered throughout the story.Was this review helpful?

"When Perfect Peter's tooth falls out, Henry gets a great idea. He will steal the tooth and put it under his own pillow so that the Tooth Fairy gives him the reward instead of Peter. Will the Tooth Fairy fall for it?"
Horrid Henry is a fictional character created by Francesca Simon and illustrated by Tony Ross. The first Horrid Henry was written and published in 1994 and as of the end of 2008, there have been sixteen titles published, as well as numerous collections, activity books and joke books.
Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy is the 3rd book in the continuing tales of Henry and his family and friends. This book contains the following stories: "Horrid Henry Tricks the Tooth Fairy," "Horrid Henry's Wedding," "Moody Margaret Moves In," and "Horrid Henry's New Teacher."
Margaret spying on his treasures, sleeping in his bed, playing with his toys while he had to share a room with Peter ...
and so begins my favorite story of this book. Moody Margaret lives next door to Horrid Henry and she will be spending two weeks with Henry's family while her own family is on vacation. Will this be the beginning of World War III? Moody Margaret does not like Horrid Henry and Horrid Henry does not like Moody Margaret. But Henry's parents soon learn that Margaret and Henry are cut from the same cloth.

TAURUS (April 20May 20):I know how you're feeling, Taurus. I've done time in the same psychic prison you're trapped in. Because of my exemplary behavior while incarcerated, luckily, I was freed well in advance of my scheduled release date. Would you like to know what I did to win my early release? Four things: (1) I took responsibility for the ways I had perpetuated my own suffering. (2) I practiced feeling grateful for the lessons my pain had taught me. (3) I thought deeply about the actions I could take to atone for how I had hurt other people. (4) I vowed to use the shame I felt as a motivation to become smarter and kinder and wilder.
GEMINI (May 21June 20): Does one of your pretty-good relationships need a boost? Does one of your challenging partnerships need some slack? If so, I'd like to help. Here's my offer: I'll perform a healing ceremony for a relationship of your choice. In return for doing you this favor, all I ask is that you too carry out a ritual on behalf of the same relationship. Think of it as being akin to a matching-funds grant: I'll help you if you help yourself. It is the perfect astrological moment to do thisto make splashy gestures that invoke blessings for relationships that are in need of a shift. Now send me a brief description of the relationship you'd like me to shower some magic on. Write to firstname.lastname@example.com. I won't be able to write back, but I will definitely carry out a ritual for you.
CANCER (June 21July 22):"They might be small, spiky, and spineless, but they're still family." So begins a National Geographic story about sea urchins, creatures that biologists now know have far more in common with humans than anyone realized. (They share 7,077 genes with us and are actually on the same branch of the evolutionary tree of life.) Let that opening sentence be your motto during the coming week, Cancerian, as you adjust your attitude toward not only the runts and outcasts of your tribe, but also toward the parts of yourself that you tend to neglect and underestimate. Now say this: "They might be small, spiky, and spineless, but they're still family."
LEO (July 23Aug. 22):I hope that one day you will learn how to give all the extraordinary love you have to offer. Another one of my greatest desires for you is that you will cultivate, earn, and seize all the freedom you need in order to become yourself completely. To my great pleasure, you've recently begun to tune in to the possibility that these two goals might be extremely fun for you. During the coming weeks their hold on your imagination should heat up considerably. In 2007, I hope they'll become your modus operandi, your weltanschauung, and your raison d'être.
VIRGO (Aug. 23Sept. 22):In one of Aesop's fables, a donkey becomes enamored of the crickets' serenades. Longing to produce the same sound himself, he goes to a cricket for advice. "What kind of food gives you that sweet-sounding voice?" he asks. The cricket says, "My food is the air and the dew." The donkey then begins a new diet, hoping that by eating nothing but air and dew he too will be able to make beautiful, whirring melodies. It doesn't happen, of course. The donkey merely starves. Let this be your teaching story for the coming week, Virgo. Sing your own song with your own voice, whether that sounds like a hee-haw or a warble. And get the exact nurturing that will help you sing your own song with your own voice, not the nurturing that helps others sing their special tunes.
LIBRA (Sept. 23Oct. 22):As a general rule, standing your ground and dealing squarely with a problem is the best policy. But for you right now, escape is a viable option. In fact, I think that running away is actually preferable. All I ask, though, is that you choose a specific place to flee to, so that you're not just running from something but also running toward something. As long as you're driven solely by a big no, in other words, dashing around will weaken you and aggravate the problem you're dodging. But if you're also motivated by a vivid yes, you'll find the strength and wisdom to make all the right moves.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23Nov. 21):Earth Island Journal says scientists have discovered natural ways to clean up old munitions sites. If you plant periwinkle and parrot feather plants in soil that's been bombed with TNT, they'll soak up and neutralize the noxious stuff. Likewise, pondweed absorbs and transforms nitrogly-cerin in land where explosives have been detonated. I urge you to find the metaphorical equivalents of periwinkle, pondweed, and parrot feather plants this week, Scorpio. It's a perfect moment to detoxify the places in your life where past battles left behind toxic debris.

"Trick Boots"
Okay, I'm sold: I believe that the protagonist really believes that by harnessing heretofore untapped mental powers, he was really able to make his boots vanish. LSD tabs and Pissed Jeans singles go well together, it seems.
This track, posted by the Virginia-based circuit-bender on her website recently, reminds me of Tri Repetae-era Autechre: grimy, grubby electronics spitting, bleeping, waffling, and rattling from within the inkiest of digital shadows. Just when you think that's all that's happening, she uncages some nature-based samples, brightening the mood briefly before going all muted distorto-beatbox on us.
"Blue Ocean Blue"
What trips me out about this song is that it's only a couple of ProTools tweaks (and maybe a way-less dinky singer) away from being passable R&B. On K Records, yet!
There's just something so pleasantly participatory about songs that involve spelling, you know? Think of the Ramones' "Slug," Fergie's "Glamorous," the Village People's "YMCA," Beach House's "D.A.R.L.I.N.G.," RZA's "B.O.B.B.Y."—following along with each letter draws you in, doesn't it, and you feel compelled to make sure no mistakes were made and all. Anyway, nice enough white R&B lighter-lifter, but how come pop stars always want to be angels? Why not archangels, which I'm pretty sure are on a more privileged angelic tier of authority? Whatever happened to aiming higher?
"Cy's Last Ride #1"
Sorta like waking up slowly on a gray morning when there's nothing much on the agenda and no one around, so you're puttering 'round the house, fondling the remote but not turning on the TV, staring into the fridge without fixing anything to eat, etc. If these Cali dreamers were rich, famous, and way more compositionally inclined—and if it were 1993—a song-sketch like this one might show up on a CD5 or a comp, but never on an album proper.

But actually at level 80 the amount of HP you have increases massively, and the damage doesn't. So either way, what you are saying wouldn't apply. (I heard a figure of roughly 200% more HP but 30% more damage when everybody is fully geared.)
I can personally attest to this somewhat. At level 70 I had about 11k hp unbuffed in caster form. At 80 its now 16k. And this is with level 70 season 4 gear. Imagine what level 80 gear will do, which has a ton more stamina relative to other stats than level 70 gear does.
That's the counter. If you can catch them then they're dead. A good arcane mage though, knows how to stay mobile.
And yes, health will double at 80, but Arcane hits pretty ****ing hard at 80. An arcane mage will have enough talent points to unlock the AP+PoM+Pyro (which will probably crit due to a talent that ups crit chance after PoM) combo which will ~10k of damage assuming a crit. Combine this with a fireblast and a few arcane barrages, and you're looking at 20k of up front damage. Not many classes can take that much much burst and live to tell about it.
The problem with arcane mages is after you blow your load then "what next?" I tried arcane at 70 because of how OP'd they were, but I switched back to frost because at 80 frost is just going to have more sustainable burst damage. It will also have way more outs and ways to stay alive. It it kind of funny. Some druid tried to gank me at 10% health, and I literally kited him for 5 minutes while I ran back to the alliance base in borean tundra. The guards proceeded to rape him giving him a nice little repair bill.
Also, anytime you badly outgear someone you always have a significant advantage over them.

The 2010 Institute will be hosted by the Institute of African Studies at the University of Ghana, Legon- Accra. It will enable the Fellows to cross-examine concepts of leadership in a broad African context, cultivate the skills and experiences women need to occupy and excel in leadership positions, and gain knowledge on cutting-edge issues critical to African women and their communities. Additionally, experienced and accomplished women leaders who are committed to supporting and nurturing the next generation of African women leaders will mentor Fellows during the period.
About The MILEAD Fellows Program
The MILEAD Fellows Program is a uniquely designed initiative committed to the long-term leadership development and promotion of Africa's most promising young women leaders. Fellows go through a yearlong training and mentoring program, designed to build skills, strengthen networks, and support women's leadership on critical issues. Over the course of a year, selected Fellows progress through three phases that include: identification and preparation of Fellows through leadership development, networking, conferences, mentoring, and training; promotion of Fellows through media coverage and networking; and support of Fellows through career planning, management, and access to opportunities and resources. Fellows continue to receive and share lifelong solidarity and support through the Alumni Network of the program.
About Moremi Initiative
Founded in 2004, The Moremi Initiative for Women's Leadership in Africa strives to engage, inspire, and equip young women and girls to become the next generation of leading politicians, activists, social entrepreneurs, and change agents: leaders who can transform and change institutions that legitimize and perpetuate discrimination against women. We firmly believe that the full and active participation of women in leadership is a pre-requisite for positive change and development in Africa, and addresses the problem of leadership imbalances.
Key program partners include Junior Achievement International, Women Peace and Security Network Africa (WIPSEN-Africa), Institute of African Studies- University of Ghana, Women's Initiative for Self Empowerment (WISE), The Institute for Democratic Governance (IDEG), The Global Fund for Women, OSI- International Women's Program, and The Africa Group Consul, CXO-International, WILDAF among others.

Andreas Rett
Andreas Rett (January 2, 1924 in Fürth, Bavaria; died April 25, 1997 in Vienna) was an Austrian neurologist and author. Rett received many awards, including the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the Republic of Austria.
Andreas Rett went to school in Innsbruck and began his medical studies at Innsbruck University. He voluntarily joined the Nazi Party and later made use of material from the Nazi Action T4, the systematic murder of "unfit" children in Germany and Austria.[1] After qualifying in 1949 he trained in paediatrics, and in 1955 he was appointed head of the facility for mentally retarded children at a home for the aged in Lainz. In 1963 he built up a factory, in which neurologically sick youngsters could work. His belief was that disabled children also do have a right to fulfillment of their physical, emotional, and psychological needs.
Rett's academic career began in 1967, when he was appointed as lecturer in neurology and paediatrics at the University of Vienna, in 1973 being promoted to the rank of associate professor. In 1966 he published the first description of Rett syndrome.[2] From 1967 he was also head of the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Research in Brain Disordered Children. He has published more than 250 articles.

You need to contact the author mate
Ok will do. I had to contact them once already. I dont want to harass the people haha. Thanks though.
I have exactly the same problem, if you can fix it, I would very much appreciate you sharing solution
Problem solved, I found the solution in the instructions;here it's:
*you need to CHMOD the 'cache' folder (scripts\cache) to 777 to work the (slider) image resize properly. For more details about timthumb auto image resize:
Oh I did something different and it worked for me. After talking with the developer, all that you have to do is add a custom field.
In posts / page scroll down to where it says custom fields. In the name type "Image" (without the quotes, make sure to capitalize the I)
For the value just put the path to the image.
I did this and mine works now. Thanks for the comments though Kowaia.

Vampire on the loose in Serbia?
More News from Associated Press
ZAROZJE, Serbia – Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.
Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear — and a potential tourist opportunity — through the remote village.
A local council warned villagers to put garlic in their pockets and place wooden crosses in their rooms to ward off vampires, although it appeared designed more to attract visitors to the impoverished region bordering Bosnia.
Many of the villagers are aware that Sava Savanovic, Serbia's most famous vampire, is a fairy tale. Still, they say, better to take it seriously than risk succumbing to the vampire's fangs.
"The story of Sava Savanovic is a legend, but strange things did occur in these parts back in the old days," said 55-year-old housewife Milka Prokic, holding a string of garlic in one hand and a large wooden stake in another, as an appropriately moody mist rose above the surrounding hills.
"We have inherited this legend from our ancestors, and we keep it alive for the younger generations."
Vampire legends have played a prominent part in the Balkans for centuries — most prominently Dracula from Romania's Transylvania region. In the 18th century, the legends sometimes triggered mass hysteria and even public executions of those accused of being vampires.
Sava Savanovic, described by the Zarozje villagers as Serbia's first vampire, reputedly drank the blood of those who came to the small shack in the dense oak tree forest to mill their grain on the clear mountain Rogatica river.
The wooden mill collapsed a few months ago — allegedly angering the vampire, who is now looking for a new place to hang his cape.
Some locals claim they can hear steps cracking dry forest leaves and strange sounds coming from the rocky mountain peaks where the vampire was purportedly killed with a sharp stake that pierced his heart — but managed to survive in spirit as a butterfly.
"One should always remain calm, it's important not to frighten him, you shouldn't make fun of him," said villager Mico Matic, 56, whose house is not far from the collapsed mill.
"He is just one of the neighbors, you do your best to be on friendly terms with him," he said with a wry smile, displaying garlic from both of his trouser pockets.
Some locals say it's easy for strangers to laugh at them, but they truly believe.
"Five people have recently died one after another in our small community, one hanging himself," said Miodrag Vujetic, a local municipal council member. "This is not by accident."
Vujetic, however, said that "whatever is true about Sava," locals should use the legend to promote tourism.
"If Romanians could profit on the Dracula legend with the tourists visiting Transylvania, why can't we do the same with Sava?"
Richard Sugg, a lecturer in Renaissance Studies at the U.K.'s University of Durham and an expert on the vampire legends, said the fear could be very real. Stress can bring on nightmares, which makes people's feelings of dread even worse.
"The tourists think it is fun — and the Serbian locals think it's terrifying," he said.

Maybin: Time to put up, shut up
The Padres can only hope more days like that pile up without setback.
"Cam is a dynamic player when he's healthy and playing at the top of his game," manager Bud Black said. "He's been away from the diamond. So first and foremost, we've got to get him back on the field in spring training, get him back to the level of confidence he had in prior seasons. That's the big key."
Yes, it is.
We ask, going into this season, who the real Chase Headley is. It's almost as important to find out who the real Cam Maybin is.
It's possible we know all we ever will: Former first-round pick, traded twice, athletic ability that rivals fictional heroes, unable to stay on the field.
But he's capable of still blossoming, becoming the player he and the people paying him envision.
If he plays in 145 games, hits even .250 with 30 steals and 80 runs scored, maybe a dozen homers, his contract becomes a bargain. The Padres will also have a crowded outfield -- and, most likely, significantly more wins.
That's what needs to happen now. Maybin knows that.
"You can say whatever you want," he said. "Nothing speaks louder than actions. I'm trying to give myself a chance to do what I'm actually supposed to do."
We'd be happy if that was his version of Beast Mode.

|Wedding Gallery | Our Relationship
|"Kevin, you by far exceeded our
expectations, and I can't tell you how
grateful we are that we found you. Not only are you a great, fun,
photographer, but you also served as our witness too! We had never even
considered that. The photos are AMAZING, and sharing them with the
family after we had eloped put smiles on their faces. You are the type
of person we would consider a friend."
"Kevin, We are so happy that you were our photographer. And even though you are so easy going I am going to say it again... Thank you for putting up with my family! We received the DVD and I don't know how in the world we are going to decide on which pictures to get large prints of."
"Kev, Thank you again for being our photographer. We are so glad we found you and my family just loved you. Funny, everyone assumed that you and my dad had known each other since birth. I have lots of single girlfriends so I will definitely send them your way. I bet you weren't expecting to have to climb up on a ladder to photograph my garter in the chandelier? Love, Love, Love the pictures."
"Hi Kev, just a quick note to let you know that we received the DVD and the pictures are fantastic. One thing though. Now that you have photographed our elopement are you going to be able to fly back east and photograph the 2nd wedding we will have for our families?"
"I can't believe you were with us for the whole day. You went above and beyond the call of duty to get the shots. The pictures are just beautiful and you captured everything in a way so that I can cherish the memories forever. You blended right in and were so professional working with my crazy family. Thank you again for being a part of our wedding day."
"Dear Kev, you are an amazing photographer and an excellent tour guide as well. Even though it was just the three of us, it was quite comfortable to spend the morning with you. Thank you for making our wedding day that much more memorable and taking the time to show us Virginia City. We even took your advice and stopped by Burney Falls on the way to Oregon."
"Hi Kevin, THANK YOU so much for everything. We are so happy we found you and hired you as our wedding photographer. You captured the moments just the way I remember. And through your pictures I saw everything else that was going on while I was busy getting married. I hope we can send more people your way!"

Chapter 1
Dear Lily,
Nothing could have prepared me for this place. Honestly, to say it's beautiful is a colossal understatement. This land takes beauty to a whole new level. Not only the sights and sounds, but the people, too. But more about the people later.
When I got off the plane I expected ... I don't know what I expected, exactly--but it wasn't what I found. Even the airport was breathtaking, surrounded by miles of open land covered in a rich, deep green grass that looks more like real carpet than the stuff that Mom had in our family room at home.
And you know how we always thought that Vermont was hilly? Mountainous, even? Well, we were clueless. This place is so endlessly rolling that I fear even a ship's first mate could find himself seasick. I hope I get used to walking on the lumps and bumps of this new place. If not, I'll be spraining my ankles every day. Let's hope the sidewalks are flat, at least. Hell, I hope they have sidewalks--I haven't seen any yet.
Riding from the airport to my temporary new home was an adventure. Irish taxi drivers are like taxi drivers the world over; they talk nonstop and spend more time pointing out the "sights" than they do paying attention to the road ahead of them. And what a road it was! Narrow and unlined except for the ruts that look like they were made by elephants, the "highway" between Dublin and here isn't one I'll look forward to riding again. I kid you not--my hip is bruised from being bashed against the inside of the decrepit little taxi. No exaggeration, Lily. It's the truth.
But I did get to see some things that you just don't see at home.
The driver--Shamus was his name, by the way--wascareful to show me places to eat (Mulligan's Pub being at the top of his list) and the chemist's shop (they don't call it a 'drugstore' over here) for finding my 'female fixings.' I can hear you laughing, but I promise you--that's exactly what he said. Can you imagine? A modern man--in his thirties, probably--says 'female fixings'? Never in New York, huh? And he did it all after he asked me out to dinner--did I mention that yet? Well, more on that little tidbit later, too.
When I inquired about the castle, the ruddy-faced, red-haired Romeo clammed right up. I pushed him a bit, claiming that I wanted to learn about all the old castles in County Meath, and asked him to tell me what he knew about the place. I wasn't above turning on the fluttering-eyelash, hair-tossing routine, either. Sadly, neither my pointed questions nor womanly wiles had a positive effect on the now silent-as-the-tomb driver.
Muttering something beneath his breath, he made a point of showing me St. Brigid's Church, an imposing white brick building right in the center of town. Under other circumstances, I would have loved to learn more about the building, since it's undoubtedly an important historical monument. There's even a hilly little graveyard with moss-covered slabs of granite behind the church. Shamus made it clear, though, that not only was he not interested in talking about the Castle, he wasn't at all as interested in me as he'd first been. So I thought it prudent to keep my mouth shut about the church--no comments on that one.
When we reached the rental cottage, a thatched fairy-tale fantasy like the ones we drew with our crayons as children, Shamus unloaded my baggage from the boot (it's not a trunk here, no matter how much it looks like the one on my Audi). I swear I could hear him say something about banshees and ghouls as he drove away.
Oh, and no second inquiry about going out to dinner with him before he left, either. Which was really too bad, since he was temptingly handsome and, as we both know, I'm currently single. Again.
Ugh, let's not go there.
Did you think Ireland was going to be like this? I admit that I didn't. And I haven't even scratched the surface of my explorations--I wonder what I'll find when I get down to looking around. I'll keep you posted as things here move forward.
For now, I'm off in search of a hot meal. I didn't see anything that even comes close to resembling a Wendy's or a Pizza Hut. I hope the food here is easier to understand than the people are!
I'm glad I came here, Lily. It's going to be good to get some distance from the mess back at home. Maybe I can begin to figure out what I'm going to do next. After all that's happened, I'd like to crawl into a hole and bury myself, but I know I can't do that. I know. I know ... I can hear you pressing the buttons, dialing Dr. Monroe as you read this. But don't. You don't need to worry about me. I'm going to be fine. I promise.
Now, I'm really going to find some food. I'll write again soon.
Love, Maddy
P.S. As soon as I get the Internet thingy hooked up to my laptop I'll send e-mails, too. Don't worry, though. The snail mail will keep coming--I know how you love to examine the strange stamps, tear open the envelopes and hold the pages in your hands. I do, too. It must be one of those silly family things, don't you think? Maybe all those letters we got at camp from Granny when we were kids--you know the ones. Anyhow, the e-mails will soon be on the way, too. Just thought I'd let you know.

HARRIS COUNTY Harris County Sheriff s investigators were seeking clues in the abduction of a 5-year-old girl from a county library Tuesday night. The child was later found wandering through an open field.
The incident occurred at the Fairbanks Library on Gessner Road in northwest Harris County.
According to investigators, the child was at the library with her mom and teenage sister. At some point, she got separated from her family and that s when a man lured her into his vehicle, deputies said.
The girl was spotted 15 minutes later crying and walking alone in a field near the intersection of Gessner and Tanner Road.
The man who found her was working on a car at a nearby tire shop and couldn t believe what he was seeing.
She was crying and saying she needed help, said Edward Olvera. She said the man asked her if she wanted some candy and she said, 'Yes.'
According to Olvera, the girl said the man sped away with her in the car.
I feel bad.Why would a guy kidnap a little girl? Olvera asked.
The girl was taken to Texas Children s Hospital to be evaluated.
Authorities said the library had surveillance cameras, but they weren t working at the time.
Harris County detectives released a description of the suspect on Wednesday. He is described as Hispanic, 30 to 35 years old and around 5 6 inches tall. He was wearing a dark jogging suit and a black Chicago Bulls cap.
The suspect was driving a dark vehicle, which might have been brown.

Rob McGann | February 18, 2005 | Comments
comScore spearheads push for industry distinction between spyware and online panel software.
Some anti-spyware programs zap comScore's tracking software from its own panel members' PCs, ClickZ has learned. The same programs likely pose threats to other online research firms' applications.
The growing popularity of such programs has increased the churn rate in comScore's online research panel.
While the research company's panel has grown from two to six million participants since 2003, churn raises uncomfortable questions about the consistency of the market research advertisers rely upon.
"In the understandable rush to scrub systems of undesirable applications like spyware, there has been an indiscriminate application of that word to systems that don't meet that description," said comScore SVP Dan Hess. "There are some security software systems that flag software of ours, and others like ours, and remove them."
Nielsen//NetRatings, a major competitor, meanwhile claims it "has not experienced any issues with anti-spyware software," according to spokesperson Marla Dierkes. However, Symantec's Web site shows it has identified the company's software as "spyware." Meanwhile, Lavasoft's Ad-Aware rates the software's threat level as four out of 10, with 10 being the most threatening.
"While it hasn't impacted our business in a significant way, we think it's important for a host of reasons to get ahead of the issue instead of reacting to it later if it becomes a larger problem," said Graham Mudd, a comScore senior analyst.
comScore has launched an initiative to create an industry distinction between spy- and adware, and opt-in market research software.
The company wants a new classification for legitimate market research software: "researchware." The goal is to enable market research companies to clearly distinguish their survey tools from malicious programs that seek consumer information, Hess said.
In December, a letter to clients and partners outlined five points that distinguish comScore's software from spyware: it's opt-in, with clear opt-out instructions; it scrubs personally identifiable information from data; its privacy and data security practices are audited and certified annually; panelists receive benefits for participation; it doesn't sell or share research panel data to/with advertisers.
comScore has asked security software vendors to remove its software from spyware blacklists. "When we are able to contact [them], we typically are removed from the lists," Hess said, citing Computer Associates (CA) as an example.
Yet CA told ClickZ News comScore will be added to a new "trackware" list -- a category the security company just established -- effective February 18. It's back due to a lack of transparency, said Sam Curry, CA VP of product management.
CA defines "trackware" as "any software which, subsequent to user permission being granted, uses a machine's Internet connection to silently transmit personally identifiable information."
"It's been a bit of a rollercoaster for comScore, which has been added, then removed, and now added again to our spyware lists," Curry told ClickZ News. "comScore is welcome to appeal this, but they are the manufacturer of the MarketScore software, which we are re-adding to our spyware list under a new category of trackware, tomorrow morning."
"Trackware," a non-standard term, is an example of what David Nason refers to as "greyware." Nason, CTO of anti-spyware vendor eAcceleration, said this grey area prompts many security software vendors to remove any third-party software, including cookies, from PCs.
"It's certainly a big problem, and not just for the market research companies," said Nason. "There is anti-spyware software that is arguably spyware. There is anti-spyware software that is not spyware that gets identified as spyware and removed by competitors. When it gets down to the consumer level, it's hard for people to know what to believe."
eAcceleration is unusual in that it contacts companies before blacklisting their software. Of the scores of free, downloadable anti-spyware programs, few contact software makers they blacklist. Many security vendors have little or no available contact information, Hess said. The situation is analogous to that faced by legitimate email marketers who finds themselves on blacklists.
comScore is taking its case to industry associations like the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), and plans to reach out to competitors like Nielsen//NetRatings to create an industry-wide distinction.
"This is an issue affecting nearly every player in our industry, so there is broad interest in building consensus," Mudd said.
Consensus may be hard to build, particularly when admitting the problem could damage business models. "Our opt-in panel obtains explicit consent from our panelists, which bypasses the need for any distinctions in definitions," NetRating's Dierkes told ClickZ.
