You probably didn't notice it, but the way you write CSS affects the rendering speed of the browser. Should you care about that? Most likely not, but it is possible to freeze your web page with inefficient selectors.
Lately I read the following text in Building iPhone Apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (O'Reilly) on using ID's in CSS:
"There are differences between class and id. Class attributes should be used when you have more than one item on the page with the same class value. Conversely, id values have to be unique to a page.
When I first learned this, I figured I'd just always use class attributes so I wouldn't have to worry about whether I was duping an id value. However, selecting elements by id is much faster than selecting them by class, so you can hurt your performance by overusing class selectors."
Huh? I never use ID's in CSS selectors, but I never experienced slow rendering either. I wanted to test if it's stupid not to use ID's.
First I wanted to see if it was even able to create a CSS that was hard to parse. Google has a nice article about writing efficient CSS selectors, so that seemed like a good start before setting up a test. In short there are 2 things that make a fast CSS selector:
- Make rules as specific as possible
This means that
div.contentis faster than
You have to be especially specific with the rightmost selector, since the browser reads CSS selector from right to left.
- Avoid (large) descendant rules
An example of a descendant rule is
div.content div.column1 div.columnHeader h2. Descendant rules are less efficient than rules with a single selector, like
Test 1: setting up extremely inefficient CSS
The most inefficient selector by far is
*. Combined with large descendant rules you get extremely inefficient selectors:
* * * * * * * * * { background: #ff1; } * * * * { background: #ff2; } * * * * * * * { background: #ff3; }
I created a CSS file of about 20KB in size with 3600 asterisks characters (*). I combined it with a very large HTML file (1MB) with 9000 opening HTML brackets (<). Because I only wanted to test the CSS rendering, I added the following JavaScript to be able to load the CSS file on my local computer after the page was loaded.
Load CSS
Results Test 1
|Render time (sec)
|Firefox 3.6
|Chrome 6
All tests were done on my computer (Vista with Intel Duo Core @ 2.4GHz) except for IE7 and IE6. IE7 was tested on a Vista machine with Intel Core Duo SPU @ 2.67Ghz. IE6 was tested on my machine with Virtual PC and on a PC with Windows XP SP3 and a Pentium 3 CPU 3GHz.
The results show that browsers freeze for at least 2 seconds in order to render the CSS. So it is possible to screw up your rendering, but you really have to make an effort for it with large HTML files and unrealistic CSS selectors.
Test 2: setting up a more realistic scenario
In this test I created a more realistic scenario. I took an existing CSS file and altered it until it was 113KB in size and contained about 1050 selectors. I changed the CSS rules until the bulk of the code looked like this:
.Homepage .containerText { position: relative; margin: 15px auto 0px auto; width: 960px; background:#ffffff; } .Homepage .containerText .containerLeft { float:left; width:450px; padding:10px 20px 45px 10px; } .Homepage .containerText .containerLeft p { margin:0px 0px 5px 0px; color:#414a49; line-height:1.286em; }
So most of the code in the CSS file consisted of descendant selectors with classes and hardly any tag names. The corresponding HTML page was also created from existing code and copy-pasted until the file was 107KB in size with almost 600 opening HTML brackets (<). Now we have a relatively large HTML and CSS, but not unrealistic. Once again I tested it in different browsers:
Results Test 2
|Render time (sec)
|Firefox 3.6
|Chrome 6
All modern browsers responded so fast that I couldn't really notice it needed rendering time. This means that the CSS file does not need any optimization by utilizing ID's. The only browser that could profit from more efficient CSS selectors is IE 6. But since I don't have to support IE 6 anymore, it's not worth my time.
Writing fast CSS certainly will help some browsers on slow PC's. But that is a minority of the users. So unless you have special requirements for your website, you'll be better off focusing on writing logical, maintainable code than trying to get the browser to render a few milliseconds faster. There are some considerations though:
Being more specific
A few years ago I switched from writing
.foo to writing
a.foo. Adding the tag name in the selector gives me a better idea what I'm styling. Now I know that this coding style is also faster in rendering.
Descendant selectors
Descendent selectors (using more than one element in a CSS rule) are inefficient in rendering, but I won't give that up. I like to be specific about what element I want to select in CSS. I rather write
div.column1 div.article span.date than
span.date. The latter is more efficient, but that only works with very small websites because only then you'd still have an overview of the all classes that are in the HTML code.
When I write JavaScript code I try not to 'pollute' the global namespace. I try to do the same with CSS by using descendent selectors.
If you need faster rendering, you could alter descendant selectors by making one class that incorporates the whole path. So you'll get
span.column1_article_date instead of
div.column1 div.article span.date. Although it would render faster, it also has some drawbacks. Renaming a class afterwards is tedious work, the class names can become very long and the classes can be used outside it's intended containers, so a class called
div.column1_article_date could be used anywhere in the DOM and not just inside div with the class
ID's and JavaScript
I do use ID's by the way, Not in CSS though, but for JavaScript for these reasons:
- Specific elements can be easily accessed in plain JavaScript with
- If an element has an ID, I can be pretty surre that there is a bit of JavaScript attached to it.
- Using ID's in your jQuery selectors makes the selectors less dependent on the current HTML structure. It's easy to break existing jQuery selectors by removing a class in the DOM.

[COUNTRY FOLK] Scores of indie bands are trying to emulate the success of bands like Mumford & Sons and the Lumineers these days. Vancouver's Wake Owl, thankfully, is more imaginative than that, choosing to tip its hat to those groups instead of shamelessly copying them. Mixing Americana strains with wistful violins, echoing and occasionally ethereal guitars, complementary percussion and Colyn Cameron's alternately scratchy and hauntingly beautiful vocal harmonies, Wake Owl's music is decidedly its own. The songs are tinged with country and folk-rock sounds throughout, but the band mostly stays in the Americana realm, painting emotionally charged, picturesque tales of love, loss and finding your way. If you enjoy music that is more subtle than lively, this is the band for you. SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Wake Owl, Sean Flinn & the Royal We, Andy Shauf PRIORITY:3END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Ruddock calls up five

Tour to New Zealand 2017
Ruddock calls up five
13 November 2005 21:27pm
Wales coach Mike Ruddock has called up five players to train with an injury-hit squad ahead of next Saturday's Millennium Stadium clash against South Africa.
Llanelli Scarlets' former Harlequins back Dafydd James, Bath scrum-half Andy Williams, Saracens prop Ben Broster, Ospreys lock Ian Evans and Cardiff Blues back-row forward Andy Powell have all answered Ruddock's SOS.
Wales suffered a number of injuries during Friday's 11-10 victory over Fiji, with lock Brent Cockbain unlikely to play again this season because of hamstring trouble, while wing Kevin Morgan, prop Chris Horsman and flanker Dafydd Jones are all struggling.
Cockbain, a member of Wales' Grand Slam side last term, requires surgery to repair his hamstring injury.
James, a 2001 British & Irish Lion, will provide cover for Morgan, with Broster on stand-by for Horsman, Williams covering Scarlets scrum-half Dwayne Peel, who has yet to feature in the autumn series, Evans looking set to replace Cockbain and Powell poised to take over from Jones.
"We have called in a group of quality players to train with the squad to compensate for the various injuries we have picked up, and we will take a decision later in the week as to who will join us full-time," said Ruddock.
"Dafydd James comes to us for the first time since I've been in position as head coach, but he brings a wealth of experience at international level.
"We weren't completely happy with his form when he was with Harlequins last season, but he has been starting to look like his old self since returning to Llanelli, and we are pleased to welcome him back into the fold."
James, capped 41 times, last played for Wales in the 43-17 defeat against New Zealand three years ago.
"Andy Williams is a top quality athlete, and we've had our eye on him for a while. Ian Evans is a young man who is a great prospect for the future, and we want to see a bit more of him in the international environment," added Ruddock.
"Ben Broster, meanwhile, performed superbly for us on our summer tour of North America and so he will fit into the squad well, if necessary, and Andy Powell is a quality player who deserves his chance."

Here are some of the cute things we sent. One of my favorite projects is the jar. I got the idea right here on the Stampin' Up! blog from my friend, Cindy. It's such a great way to save those memories!
Because I am a My Digital Studio fanatic, I started with MDS 2 to create:

I love how the digital and traditional products work so perfectly together. I had so much fun that eventually I had to tell myself to stop adding projects. I only wish I could be there to see my friends' faces when they open these boxes!

Recovering History
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JEFFREY BROWN: In recent days, authorities in Baghdad announced the recovery of a 5,000-year-old Sumerian mask. Made of alabaster, it is known as "The Lady of Warka," one of the earliest known representations of the human face. The mask was widely considered one of the most important objects still missing after the looting of the Iraqi museum last April. Investigators have now issued a final report of their work, documenting the recovery of thousands of items. They say about 10,000 objects are still missing, including 29 major pieces considered irreplaceable.
I'm joined now by the man who has headed the investigation, Marine Reserve Colonel Mathew Bogdanos. Later this month he returns to civilian life, where he's an assistant district attorney in New York. Colonel, welcome back to the United States and back to this program.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Thank you very much. Thank you for having me.
JEFFREY BROWN: As you near the end of your part of the work, give us an overview assessment of where things stand.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Certainly, and with a nod to Mr. Churchill, we are not at the end of the investigation or even at the beginning of the end. We are perhaps, though, at the end of the beginning. The first phase is complete, and that first phase consisted of identifying primarily what was taken, and then recovering those items that we could do so locally in and around Baghdad. We're transitioning now to the next phase, which is the international component to the investigation, which will take far longer than the six months that the first phase did.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, there are some remarkable stories I've heard about how you've gotten back some of these things. Tell us, for example, about the "Lady of Warka" that I just mentioned.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: The mask itself… in many ways the manner in which it was recovered is very typical of the manner in which we recovered many items. An informant, an individual, an Iraqi, walked into the museum with a tip that he knew where antiquities were being held or hidden, without identifying the mask. Acting on that information, members of the investigation who are still in Baghdad then went to that location, conducted a reconnaissance of the location, and then conducted a raid.
Initially they didn't find the mask, but they found the owner of the farm– it's a farm in northern Baghdad– and after interviewing the farmer, he admitted that he did in fact have an antiquity, in this case the mask, buried in the back of his farm. The investigators went behind the farm and uncovered the mask exactly where he had placed it, and it is intact and undamaged. The one thing I want to point out here as well is that the farmer indicated that this mask had changed hands many times in the last several months, and would have been out of the country already but for the publicity that the theft and the recovery investigation has been receiving. So for fear of being intercepted in transit, they kept the mask in and around Baghdad.
JEFFREY BROWN: So a lot of your work has been classic investigative type of work. You're gathering information from sources, you're conducting raids, getting back what you can.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Yes. In many ways what I was doing and what the team was doing in Baghdad was exactly what I would do in conducting a search warrant in Manhattan, in my civilian job. The difference is, you're doing it in a combat environment, and you have to factor in the possibility that when an informant brings you information, that that informant might be leading you into an ambush.
JEFFREY BROWN: It's still a very dangerous place to work.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: It's still a very dangerous place to work, but the rewards are so worthwhile that we were willing to take the chance.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, there are some remarkable pieces that are still missing. We have some photos of a few of them. We could show them now. This is the statue.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: It's a wonderful piece, an Acadian piece, weighs about 160 kilos, and it is the base of the statue itself. That was taken during the looting period, and indeed, the individuals who took that damaged the floor, not realizing how heavy it was. It dropped to the floor, and they actually scraped the floor as they dragged it out of one of the doors.
JEFFREY BROWN: We have another one. It's the "Nubian Boy with a Lion." Can we see that one?
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Wonderful ivory. This is much smaller, a very small piece, and it is, in fact, a lion with a Nubian boy. We consider this one of the most significant pieces that is still missing.
JEFFREY BROWN: So what is going on now to recover these and other objects?
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Well, when we spoke last, we spoke about the fact that the methodology for the investigation itself is divided into three separate components. The looters, or the items that were looted, those have been the items that have been recovered locally in Baghdad through informants, through the amnesty program, through seizures and raids. Virtually all of the looted items, about 2,700 altogether, have been recovered, but what remains are the items that were taken by insiders or with insider information, and then those high-quality or high-end items, and the only way we're going to recover those is through good, classic law- enforcement techniques that cut across national borders. We have got to do this internationally or we can't be successful.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, you've created a wanted poster?
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: We have.
JEFFREY BROWN: We have an image of that. Tell us about the idea behind that.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Well, the idea behind that was a bunch of us sitting in Baghdad, talking about what we can do to educate the world, educate law-enforcement officers, to educate civilians, to educate art dealer employees throughout the world on the most important items, much like a wanted poster for a criminal. "Have you seen this person? If you've seen this person, contact the authorities." Well, we simply decided to put, instead of "person," to put the antiquities in there, and the goal is to distribute these posters throughout the international art and law- enforcement communities throughout the world in order to get people to provide us information for items they may have seen, either in transit or in their bosses' gallery.
JEFFREY BROWN: Publicity has made a real difference in this, hasn't it?
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Publicity has been what I would call, in marine terminology, a force multiplier. It has been one of our biggest assets, the fact that you and your colleagues are continuing to keep this, the looting and the recovery, in the public eye has helped us immeasurably.
JEFFREY BROWN: Now, as you finish your work here, are the resources in place? Is the personnel there? Is the will there to continue the investigative work?
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: You've hit on the greatest challenge we have. We live in a world of finite resources, everybody– the UK, the U.S., Jordan, Italy, Iraq– and in a world of finite resources, you have to make tough decisions, tough decisions based on priorities. We have received, the investigation has received enormous assistance from Scotland Yard, for example, or from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, from Jordanian officials from the Italian Carabinieri, but we need more, and what we need are agencies like Interpol to assist us, to take an active part in the investigation so that when a seizure is made anywhere, everyone knows it.
If there's a seizure made in Newark, it's crucial that we immediately… the customs inspectors who make that seizure notify the originating customs officials. If it's London, then London needs to be notified immediately so they can conduct a simultaneous investigation on their end as we conduct one in the U.S. on our end, and there's no other way to conduct this investigation properly but through seamless cooperation and integration.
JEFFREY BROWN: A brief final personal question: What makes you so passionate about this? We were talking earlier about the fact that you have a master's in classical studies, so I know you've been at this for a long time as an interest. But we're talking about stone, we're talking about old clay, we're talking about objects, but you clearly have a passion for it.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Since the age of 12, classical history has absolutely mesmerized me, more so because it is not my chosen profession, more so because I'm not smart enough or talented enough in that field to really have made that a career. I mean, we're talking about our history, our heritage, our cultural beginnings. I mean, those who do not remember the past are destined to repeat its mistakes. The past is what we have. It's what we bring with us into the future. I can't imagine a more important undertaking.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, Colonel Matthew Bogdanos, good luck to you in your return to civilian life, and thanks again for joining us.
MARINE COL. MATTHEW BOGDANOS: Well, thank you very much, and again, thank you for having me.

This article was previously published under Q147706
On This Page
Prior to Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 (SP4), Windows NT supported two kinds of challenge/response authentication:
To allow access to servers that only support LM authentication, Windows NT clients prior to SP4 always use both, even to Windows NT servers that supported NTLM authentication.
LM authentication is not as strong as Windows NT authentication so some customers may want to disable its use, because an attacker eavesdropping on network traffic will attack the weaker protocol. A successful attack can compromise the user's password.
Microsoft has developed an enhancement to NTLM called NTLMv2 that significantly improves both the authentication and session security mechanisms.
In addition, the implementation of the NTLM Security Service Provider (SSP) has been enhanced to allow clients to control which variants of NTLM are used, and to allow servers to control which variants they will accept, by setting a new registry key appropriately. It also allows clients and servers to require the negotiation of message confidentiality (encryption), message integrity, 128-bit encryption, and NTLMv2 session security.
These changes affect the following Windows NT components: Any application that uses Microsoft remote procedure call (RPC) or that uses the NTLM SSP, use the authentication and session security described herein. The Workstation and Server services use authentication but support their own session security.
BackgroundLM authentication is not as strong as NTLM or NTLMv2 because the algorithm allows passwords longer than 7 characters to be attacked in 7 character chunks. This limits the effective password strength to 7 characters drawn from the set of uppercase alphabetic, numeric, and punctuation characters, plus 32 special ALT characters. Users often do not even avail themselves of anything more than alphabetic characters.
In contrast, NTLM authentication takes advantage of all 14 characters in the password and allows lowercase letters. Thus, even though an attacker eavesdropping on the Windows NT authentication protocol can attack it in the same way as the LM authentication protocol, it will take far longer for the attack to succeed. If the password is strong enough, it will take a single 200 MHz Pentium Pro computer an average of 2,200 years to find the keys derived from it and 5,500 years to find the password itself (or 2.2 years and 5.5 years with 1,000 such computers, and so forth).
NOTE: This estimate is based on the rate at which the recent RSA Labs "DES Challenge" code tests DES keys on a 200 MHz Pentium Pro: 1,000,000/second; and the number of DES keys: 2**56 or 7.2*10**16. For more information about the "DES Challenge", please see the following Web site:
http://www.rsa.comOn the other hand, if a password is not strong enough, a dictionary lookup can find it in seconds.
One possible way of getting a "strong enough" password is to have it be at least 11 characters in length, with at least 4 of those characters uppercase, numbers, or punctuation. Even if the remaining 7 characters are lowercase low randomness text with (say) 3 bits of randomness per character, this will give more than DES's key space of 7.2*10**16 possible combinations, and the password will not be in dictionaries.
However, hardware accelerators costing $250,000 have been built that can find either the LM or NTLM password-derived key in 3-6 days no matter how long the password is. These numbers change as technology gets better. For current statistics and details please see the following Web site:
http://www.eff.orgHaving the password-derived key of a user does not allow an attacker to log on interactively but, with special software, it is sufficient to access network resources as that user.
For NTLMv2, the key space for password-derived keys is 128 bits. This makes a brute force search infeasible, even with hardware accelerators, if the password is strong enough.
If both client and server are using SP4, the enhanced NTLMv2 session security is negotiated. It provides separate keys for message integrity and confidentiality, and client input into the challenge to prevent chosen plain text attacks, and makes use of the HMAC-MD5 algorithm (see RFC 2104) for message integrity checking.
Because the datagram variant of NTLM does not have a negotiation step, use of otherwise negotiated options, such as NTLMv2 session security and 128- bit encryption for message confidentiality, has to be configured.
Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ )How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
Control of NTLM security is through the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSANOTE: On Win9x, the valid registry key is LMCompatibility while on Windows NT it is LMCompatibilityLevel.
Choice of the authentication protocol variants used and accepted is through the following value of that key:
NOTE: Authentication is used to establish a session (username/password). Session security is used once a session is established using the apropriate type of authentication. Also system times should be within 30 mins of one another. Authentication can fail because the server will think the challenge from the client has expired.
Value: LMCompatibilityLevel Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number Valid Range: 0-5 Default: 0 Description: This parameter specifies the type of authentication to be used. Level 0 - Send LM response and NTLM response; never use NTLMv2 session security Level 1 - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated Level 2 - Send NTLM authentication only Level 3 - Send NTLMv2 authentication only Level 4 - DC refuses LM authentication Level 5 - DC refuses LM and NTLM authentication (accepts only NTLMv2)
Control over the minimum security negotiated for applications using NTLMSSP is through the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\LSA\MSV1_0The following values are for this key:
Value: NtlmMinClientSec Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number Valid Range: the logical 'or' of any of the following values: 0x00000010 0x00000020 0x00080000 0x20000000 Default: 0 Value: NtlmMinServerSec Value Type: REG_DWORD - Number Valid Range: same as NtlmMinClientSec Default: 0 Description: This parameter specifies the minimum security to be used. 0x00000010 Message integrity 0x00000020 Message confidentiality 0x00080000 NTLMv2 session security 0x20000000 128 bit encryption
LMCompatibilityLevel - ClientsIMPORTANT: For an SP4 client to choose level 3 or greater, the domain controllers for the user's account domains for all users who will use the client (hereafter, "the users' domain controllers") MUST have been upgraded to SP4.
If an SP4 client chooses level 0, which is the default, it will interoperate with earlier servers exactly as it did with Service Pack 3 (SP3).
If an SP4 client chooses level 1, it will interoperate with earlier servers exactly as it did at Service Pack 3 (SP3). In addition, it will negotiate NTLMv2 session security with SP4 servers.
IMPORTANT: When using level 1 or greater, if the last password change came from a Windows for Workgroups or MS-DOS LanManager 2.x client or earlier, the data needed for NTLM and NTLMv2 authentication will not be available on the domain controller, and SP4 clients will not be able to connect to SP4 servers. The workaround is to use level 0, or always change passwords from a Windows NT, Windows 95, or Windows 98 client.
If an SP4 client chooses level 2, it will not be able to connect to servers that only support LM authentication, such as Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows for Workgroups and earlier (hereafter called "downlevel LM clients/servers"), unless the users' domain controllers have been upgraded.
If an SP4 client chooses level 3 or greater, it will always send the new NTLMv2 response. This response can pass through downlevel LM servers and SP3 or earlier Windows NT servers and their domain controllers as long as the users' domain controllers have been upgraded to SP4. For example, if an SP4 client chooses level 3 or greater, the users' domain controllers MUST have been upgraded to SP4 as well. However, this response will not work with downlevel LM servers in Share Level security mode with non-null passwords. The workaround is to configure them to use User Level security.
LMCompatibilityLevel - Servers/DCsIf an SP4 server chooses level 4 or greater, a user with a local account on that server will not be able to connect to it from a downlevel LM client using that local account.
If an SP4 domain controller chooses level 4 or greater, a user with an account in that domain will not be able to connect to any member server from a downlevel LM client using their domain account. Thus, level 4 means that all users with accounts on a server or domain have to be using Windows NT to connect.
If an SP4 server chooses level 5 or greater, a user with a local account on that server will not be able to connect to it from an SP3 or earlier Windows NT client using that local account.
SP4 clients choosing level 0 or 1 will still be able to connect to SP4 servers, even with levels 1 or 3 configured, but will be using both the Windows NT protocol and the weaker LM protocol. They will also be able to connect to downlevel LM servers, even if the users' domain controllers have not been upgraded.
DeploymentBecause of the above considerations, if it is preferred to deploy NTLMv2, the following steps should be taken:
NtlmMinClientSec and NtlmMinServerSecIf the bit with value 0x00000010 is set in the NtlmMinClientSec or NtlmMinServerSec value, the connection will fail if message integrity is not negotiated.
If the bit with value 0x00000020 is set in the NtlmMinClientSec or NtlmMinServerSec value, the connection will fail if message confidentiality is not negotiated.
If the bit with value 0x00080000 is set in the NtlmMinClientSec or NtlmMinServerSec value, the connection will fail if NTLMv2 session security is not negotiated.
If the bit with value 0x20000000 is set in the NtlmMinClientSec or NtlmMinServerSec value, the connection will fail if 128-bit encryption is not negotiated.
NOTE: These settings will not guarantee that the NTLM SSP is actually used by every application, or that message integrity or confidentiality will actually be used by an application even when they are negotiated.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Spyware has apparently become big business, with estimated revenues at $2 billion, which represents 25 percent of all Internet advertising revenues. And it�s everywhere!
According to Webroot, 88 percent of PCs were infected by spyware during the first three months of this year, down slightly from 92 percent in the prior quarter. The average PC revealed 25 infections, about 18 cookies and seven applications such as adware, system monitors, keyloggers or trojan horses. The company found that 4294 websites and 89806 web pages carried spyware and potentially could infect PCs.
The most common threats of this type were reported to be Cool Web Search (appeared in 107 variants and was found on 8.2 percent of PCs), Gator (present in 2.2 percent) with 180Search (at 2.0 percent) and Powerscan (at 1.8).

Dear Abby 7/21/2013
Dear Abby: Am I being selfish? My next-door neighbor (who is a friend) knew we had bought an expensive vacuum cleaner last year. She asked if she could try it out on her carpet and I agreed, thinking it would be a one-time favor. I should add that she watches our house and our cat when we're traveling, and we do likewise for her.
She recently asked if she could borrow it again, and I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to let her, so I made an excuse that I needed to buy more vacuum bags. I suspect that she "borrowed" it again without my permission two months ago while we were away because the cord wasn't like I had left it.
How can I tactfully handle this situation? She's on a tight budget and can't afford to buy this particular vacuum her- self.
— Am I Selfish?
Dear Am I Selfish?: Rather than label you selfish, I'd prefer to call you "stuck." You allowed your friend to use the vacuum once and have given her free run of your home in your absence. Because she has used the vacuum again without your permission, she is likely to do it again.
If you're afraid of the "ick" factor of having "her" dust in your house, you'll have to tell her plainly that you don't want her to use the vacuum and probably find another house sitter.
Or, knowing she's short of money, you might let her use the vacuum but suggest that when she uses one of your bags she buy some of her own and replace the one she used with a fresh one.
Dear Abby: I am a 19-year-old woman who recently got over a bout of compulsive hair-pulling that left the top of my head bald. The hair hasn't completely grown back yet, so I refuse to go anywhere without a hat.
When I'm out in public, people often tell me it's rude to wear a hat indoors. While I understand this, my hair is a sensitive subject that reduces me to tears.
What can I say to people when they continue to badger me?
— Covered Up in Georgia
Dear Covered Up: Point out that it is even MORE rude to criticize someone's attire when the person may have a legitimate reason for dressing that way.
You should also talk with a hairstylist about buying an inexpensive hairpiece to wear until your hair grows back. That may curtail some of the unsolicited comments you're receiving.

Why Republicans Turned Against Payroll Tax Cuts
August 24, 2011
In 2001, as the economy slowed, Republicans endorsed temporary payroll tax cuts in order to boost demand. And again in 2008, when the economy slowed, they endorsed payroll tax cuts to boost demand: Giving temporary tax rebate checks to families, as important as that is, is not the same as economic growth," said Representative Jeb Hensarling of Texas, chairman of the Republican Study Committee.
If Obama Can't Get A Tax Cut, He Has An Issue
June 15, 2011
Brian Beutler reports that Republicans sound opposed to President Obama's plan to temporarily cut payroll taxes: In a briefing with reporters in the Capitol Tuesday, the House and Senate GOP conference chairs said they're through with short-term stimulus measures, even if they take the form of tax cuts. "Well they've tried this once, and it hasn't seemed to be working," said Rep.
The Deficit Commission Lives!
April 17, 2010
When the Republicans used their appointments to the deficit commission to name hard-core right-wingers like Tom Coburn and Jeb Hensarling, everybody assumed that meant the commission would just deadlock.

Today the Obama administration unveils a new tax on large banks. It's the (partial) answer to a policy dilemma and a political dilemma that were dying to be solved together. The policy dilemma is that the administration is having trouble crafting a long-term fix to the financial crisis. Large financial institutions have an inherent tendency to threaten the entire economy. Those institutions know that if they make huge risky investments, they get to keep all the upside if they pay off.

The debate over re-regulation of the financial sector has finally, and irreversibly, turned partisan. This helps define issues in ways that may be more familiar and thus easier to understand. In the blue corner we have Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. Secretary Geithner's overall banking policy continues to be problematic, and his broader re-regulation effort is hampered by all the free passes he gave to bank CEOs earlier this year. But on consumer protection he has the right message and he delivered it forcefully to Congress last week: we need a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA) and

There's some news buzz around Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy, and Chuck Schumer's proposal, introduced earlier this week, to create a Financial Product Safety Commission (FPSC) that would regulate, among other things, mortgages, credit, and payday loans to "reduce [their] consumer risk." The Chicago Sun-Times even touted the commission as "Durbin's big idea." But, as Clay Risen noted this morning, the brain behind the idea is Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard professor, bankruptcy expert, and chair of the TARP Congressional Oversight Panel (COP).

How to Get Amy Adams' Bombshell Updo
While most of the stars played it safe on the red carpet at Sunday's Academy Awards, the celebs who attended the Vanity Fair after party rocked some seriously sexy dresses.
PHOTOS: See what all the stars wore at the 2012 Oscars
Wearing one of the most va-va-voom looks of the night, Amy Adams stepped out in a silver Vivienne Westwood corset design that showed off her amazing curves. And her loose updo was equally alluring.
PHOTOS: Recreate the hottest Oscars looks!
"Amy is sexy and feminine and we wanted her look to match," Couture Colour Celebrity Stylist Laini Reeves said.
To create the "modern Brigitte Bardot" style, Reeves applied a dime size amount of Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment for heat-protection and shine before blow-drying. She wrapped sections of hair around a large curling iron in alternating directions, then gathered everything back into a loose wave on the top of Adams' head. The finishing touch: a few face-framing pieces.

TAKING CARE: Hospice Myths to Avoid
Hospice care offers the services you want. What stands in the way of more people choosing hospice care, is limited awareness of what services it offers and how to find it. When making a decision about hospice care, it helps to have a good understanding of what hospice is, and what it isn't. Here are some of the most common misconceptions about hospice, along with the true facts about this special kind of care.
Myth: Hospice is a place.
Fact: Hospice care usually takes place in the comfort of your home, but can be provided in any environment in which you live, including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and hospitals.
Myth: Hospice means that the patient will soon die.
Fact: Receiving hospice care does not mean giving up hope or that death is imminent. The earlier an individual receives hospice care, the more opportunity there is to stabilize your medical condition and address other needs. Some patients actually improve and may be discharged from hospice care.
Myth: Hospice care starts a few days before death.
Fact: Hospice is not just for the last few days or weeks of life. The benefit is designed to provide care for six months, or longer. For most people, it is a relief to find that there is another source of help and support. Hospice care, at any stage of illness, bur particularly early on, can significantly lighten the burden for both the patient and family.
Myth: Families have to pay for hospice care.
Fact: Hospice care is a Medicare benefit. Most private insurers also cover hospice care as well. Some Hospices have a charity program, which helps to care for all patients, regardless of an individual's ability to pay.
Myth: Hospice is only for cancer patients.
Fact: A large number of hospice patients have congestive heart failure, dementia, chronic lung disease, or other conditions.
Myth: Patients can only receive hospice care for a limited amount of time.
Fact: The Medicare benefit, and most private insurance, pays for hospice care as long as the patient continues to meets the criteria necessary. Patients may come on and off hospice care, and re-enroll in hospice care, as needed.
Myth: Hospice is just for the patient.
Fact: Hospice focuses on comfort, dignity, and emotional support. The quality of life for the patient, but also family members and others who are caregivers, is the highest priority.

Governor Fletcher is being sued.
Three nominees to The Murray State University Board of Regents say they're suing the Governor because he violated state law when he didn't pick one of them to sit on the board.
Kenneth Galloway, Sharon Green, and Kenneth Shadowen filed the lawsuit in Franklin Circuit Court yesterday.
Fletcher Spokesperson, Jodi Whitaker says the Governor was within his rights when he didn't select a candidate.
Acting Murray State President, Kern Alexander says he believes Fletcher wanted a candidate who could help the school's former Athletic Director in a breach of contract suit.
Alexander says former Murray State Athletic Director, E.W. Dennison is friends with Fletcher's running mate in the upcoming election.

What this is really about: keeping the Internet open for consumers
There's been a lot of debate about the best way to implement the National Broadband Plan and open Internet rules after the recent Comcast decision. Lots of smart people have recommended reasonable solutions to the FCC's jurisdictional headache.
We've said all along that what's important to us is promoting an open Internet, and providing access for Americans to the best broadband possible. In comments filed today with the FCC, we say that "we continue to believe that the FCC has ample legal authority to adopt broadband openness rules" and that we support whatever jurisdictional fix is "most sustainable legally."
To us this has never been about regulatory rigidity but about protecting consumers and keeping the Internet open for innovators. So while we're not wed to any particular legal theory to justify the FCC's jurisdiction, we do believe some minimal oversight over broadband networks is essential.

I thinks that is a wonderful idea ,my blogs sites is also a great place to post technical questions or concerns.ReplyDelete
I'd recommand everyone concerned about net neutrality to read this bill the congress is trying to pass: are you concern by net neutrality, you should read this bill the congress is trying to pass, please pass the word to your reader as well....ReplyDelete
Net Neutrality, a cornerstone of free and open internet traffic, free speech and free software is under fire. It is the big software corporations and big telco that wants to strangle it. We the users of the Internet demand a free and open Internet.ReplyDelete

I will NOT support Net Neutrality until I feel freedom of information is being threatened to the extent that the consumer can't make a difference.ReplyDelete
If an ISP DID block off a website, could we not just sue over a violation of the 1st Amendment?
It was only 16 years of overseeing cable TV before the FCC came to regulate cable television. Do you like cable TV? Do you like your standard, biased news channels?
I prefer this version of the bill:
I bet Microsoft wants to get rid of net neutrality because they want to stiffle the open source movement. They want to put Linux out of commission. The greedy 800 pound gorilla is not getting enough banannas or something.ReplyDelete
The US must get back to anti-trust where only a few can can dictate over us all. Our mainstream TV and Press monopoly has ruined our free speech. The news we get from the mainstream is fragmented and very often only one side of the half truth. The same thing will happen with the net if it is allowed to monopolze. The internet is fine as it now is.ReplyDelete
I think the corporations have become so greedy, that they are dangerous to the viability of our nation. Not a day goes by that corporations somewhere in this country don't gouge the citizens. They want to squeeze every last nickel out of us and now this.ReplyDelete
I won't pay them anymore than they already get. There's always a way to circumvent these gangsters. I'm done with Google.
If we loose net neutrality I'm going to leave the internet. Forever.ReplyDelete
I think recent actions of Google should be watched very, very.... very closely. The thing about business is that the most criminal actions, these days, take place of a level of economic understanding over most people's heads. Now, add that to information technology, and even fewer people are going to fully understand. This needs to be codified in law. We cannot trust any company— no matter how altruistic their record or slogans— to make this decision for us.ReplyDelete
