avast! Internet Security 5.0.377 Final

avast! provides a package of applications that aim to protect your computer from a possible virus infection or other malware threat. If you use it correctly, and in combination with other programs such as data backup utilities, it will significantly reduce the risk of your computer being attacked or infected by a virus, and thus the risk of losing important or private data.

The Avast! Internet Security application comes with an antispam filter and built-in firewall. Once installed, avast! runs silently in the background to protect your computer against all known forms of malware. You don't need to do anything else - just install and forget! Active internet users need greater protection for themselves as they shop and bank on-line. To secure against threats from infected web sites and the growing risk of identity theft, avast Internet security provides you with continuous protection from its layers of antivirus, anti-spyware, anti-rootkit protection, firewall and antispam.

Real-time shields. The real-time shields are the most important part of the program, as they are working continuously to prevent your computer from becoming infected. They monitor all your computer's activity, checking all programs and files in real-time - i.e. at the moment a program is started or whenever a file is opened or closed.

Virus Chest. The virus chest can be thought of as a folder on your hard disk with special properties, that make it a safe, isolated place for storing potentially harmful files. You can work with the files in the virus chest, with some security restrictions.

avast! antispam filter. avast! Internet Security includes a fully integrated antispam filter to detect unwanted email.
Spam delivered to your mailbox can result in your mailbox quickly becoming full, as a result which, legitimate emails may not be received. It can also unnecessarily increase the load on the email server, internet connection, local networks etc.

Firewall. avast! Internet Security includes a fully integrated firewall which can be controlled directly from the avast! user interface.
The firewall monitors all communication between your computer and the outside world and blocks unauthorized communication based on a number of “allow” and “deny” rules. In this way, the firewall can prevent sensitive data from leaving your computer and can also block attempted intrusions by external hackers

Command-line scanner. The ashCmd program uses the same avast! scanning engine to detect potential malware infections so the results are exactly the same as running a scan via the normal program interface. The avast! command-line scanner, ashCmd.exe, is normally installed in the directory C:Program FilesAlwil Softwareavast5.
A scan is run from the command prompt using various switches and parameters. To see a description of the parameters, locate the ashCmd file and double click on it. This will open a new window in which the various parameters are displayed.

Windows 7 Gets Performance Patches

Microsoft has released a series of patches for Windows 7. They cover performance rather than security, but may be worth seeking out now if you’ve experienced some specific problems.

The patches come in two sets, the first of which covers bugs which can occur on any Windows 7 PC. These include some keys on multimedia keyboards, such as one to launch the calculator, not…

Stopping spyware is something that your computer should be doing all the time. That?s why it?s important to have a good spyware program installed as soon as you take your new personal computer out of the box. Just as you want to keep your home clean and free of dirt, you should also want to do the same for your personal computer. But maybe you don?t know where to begin. You know that protecting your personal computer from spyware is important, yet you struggle with which program to choose from. You?ve seen many free programs online for download and many highly priced versions as well and you don?t know which one is the best spyware program out there. Well I?m going to try and make the search a little easier by giving you a rundown of my personal favorites.

To start with, you many good antispyware programs to choose from and some of them are offered free of cost. You have the option of choosing the best suitable one. Most of these programs effectively protect your computer from unwanted attacks and viruses, and relieves your tension about your personal computer?s safety. Still, it is better to install 2-3 anti-spyware programs to give increased protection to your system. Here are the best 5 programs of my choice:

5. Product- Webroot Spy Sweeper

Cost: $29.95

It can work compatibly with other anti-spyware programs and has the record of eliminating nearly 955 of infections. Spyware download will be reduced with its involving of and enhanced protection from the hard drive. It?s price also perfectly acceptable.

4. Product- Max Secure Spyware Detector

Cost- $29.95

Its performance has been proved to be excellent. People using Windows XP or Vista are strongly advised to install this spyware program for effective protection. You can download the trail one freely for the purpose of scanning your computer.

3. Product- XoftSpySE anti-spyware

Cost: $39.90

It has good user compatibility and performance. It works well in combination with other anti-spyware programs. Moreover, it has been known for long time and it is best advisable for people who are not yet sure of which program to choose from.

2. Name- PC Tools Spyware Doctor

Cost: $39.95

It is excellent at detecting and destroying spywares and viruses. However, the cost and the resources it takes in the computer are the drawbacks for this program. However, I strongly suggest this program to all those who can afford.

1. Product- ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware

Cost- $29.95

This light-weight program beat out Spyware Doctor as the best spyware program because it doesn?t have a lot the needless bells and whistles. Spyware Doctor can take up a lot of system resources and that can be bad if you?re not running a fast machine. ParetoLogic Anti-Spyware takes up very little system resources, but delivers fantastic spyware protection. By combining this software with some of the free programs mentioned you will have the very best spyware protection available today.

Every day at lunch I eat in the cafeteria and usually the show on the television is Wife Swap. If you are not familiar with this show, the premise is simple. Take two families and swap out the wives for a period of time. So what’s the catch? Well, they choose the most opposite personalities they can possibly find and this causes immediate friction within the families. One wife that is a hardcore Southern Baptist is placed in a family that is completely non-religious, for example. The kids are forced to obey and adhere to the rules laid down by their new “mother” and most break down and cry on camera, which I am sure makes the producers pee their pants in excitement.

This is only one of the many “reality” shows out there today and, so far, every one I have seen was simply horrible. Celebrities living in a big mansion together trying to kick drug habits, city kids put into a home with Amish kids, a bunch of people in the middle of the jungle “roughing” it while competing with one another, overweight people competing to lose the most weight, and so many others.

What I don’t understand is the appeal of these shows. Do people really believe that these situations actually happen? I see people during lunch getting all emotional and upset about the way things are happening on the show and I can’t help but laugh. When asked what I was laughing at I simply pointed to the screen and asked “You really believe this actually happens?” While maybe not scripted, you can’t tell me these people are not coached in some way to ensure conflict occurs.

In my opinion these shows are a waste of airtime and those that watch them are brain washed people that haven’t got a clue or are trying to make themselves feel better about their life by comparing it to these fake ones.

Probably the one I hate the most is Survivorman. This is a show that wants you to believe that this one man puts himself in the middle of nowhere and attempts to hike out of the wilderness within seven days, all the while filming himself. Why don’t I believe it? Well, in one particular shot, the camera was showing this man wading across a rather large lake. He is easily 200 yards away from the camera, all but submerged in water and the camera is panning and zooming perfectly to keep him in the center of the frame.

Annoyware is scammed through Mega-scan-pc-new13.org.com, and your browser may be captured by malicious BHO to continuously redirect your web-surfing to Mega-scan-pc-new13.org.com. The BHO may also be used to show fake alerts, clicking on which activates the link leading to Malwarecatycher.com; what makes thing even worse is that your access to many websites may be denied in order to prevent the removal of MalwreCatcher.com promoted annoyware, which hackers expect you to get and then to buy; remove Mega-scan-pc-new13.org.com’s hijacker or make sure you have visited MalwareCather.com by chance clicking here to start free scan and get rid of Mega-scan-pc-new13.org.com related threats found.

Twenty-four telecom operators have announced a Wholesale Applications Community to compete with Apple’s App Store and the Android Market. AT&T, Bharti Airtel, China Mobile, China Unicom, Deutsche Telekom, KT, mobilkom austria group, MTN Group, NTT DoCoMo, Orange, Orascom Telecom, Softbank Mobile, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, Telenor Group, TeliaSonera, SingTel, SK Telecom, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, VimpelCom, Vodafone and others are committed to create an ecosystem for the development and distribution of mobile and internet applications irrespective of device or technology. Together, these operators have access to over three billion customers around the world. The GSMA and three of the world’s largest device manufacturers – LG Electronics, Samsung and Sony Ericsson – support this initiative.

Adobe is bringing Flash Player 10.1 to Android, while also including support for WebOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices. AIR delivers rich applications outside the mobile browser and across multiple operating systems via mobile marketplaces and app stores.

Sweden’s Ericsson, has launched a white label app store as a service to mobile operators. The company claims it is already in discussions with a number of operators regarding them using the new service, known as ‘eStore.’ eStore will launch with 30,000 apps, some of which will be free. “Our eStore makes it possible for the user to access a wide collection of apps from any mobile phone,” said Jan Wareby, head of Ericsson’s multimedia business unit.

Sony Ericsson said most of its new phones will feature Google’s Android operating system. New handsets like the Xperia X10 mini and X10 mini pro combining the Android platform with signature applications and a customisable UX platform. They features slide out QWERTY keyboards and build on the design philosophy debuted by the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

The GSMA will lead the development of specifications to enable international roaming between LTE networks, with a spec expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year. GSMA backs an IMS-based approach to deliver voice over LTE. More than 40 other companies are now on board. The One Voice moniker will be dropped and the work will instead be referred to as the Voice over LTE (VoLTE) initiative. Rival initiatives such as the VoLGA Forum (Voice over LTE via Generic Access) promotes a circuit-switch-over-packet approach (where the circuit-switch voice or SMS traffic is tunneled over LTE). It is supported by Alcatel-Lucent, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Samsung and ZTE, but only one operator – T-Mobile – has publicly backed it to date.

Motorola has unveiled its eighth Android-powered smartphone, Quench, which will be available by the end of next month. QUENCH combines navigational features such as pinch and zoom and a touch pad, as well as the inclusion of Adobe Flash Lite, make browsing the web on its 3.1” screen, easier.

The upcoming Mobile World Congress, or MWC, has many technology enthusiasts excited about the possible release of Windows Phone 7. Rumors have been flying non-stop over the past weeks, most recently regarding the lack of Flash support, and even a Windows Mobile 'Starter Edition', much like Microsoft's desktop offerings. As the Microsoft stage at the MWC was undergoing some last minute minor changes, learnbemobile managed to get photos of the interface for Windows Mobile 7, which will be unveiled in the hours ahead.

The photos, unlike most spy shots of pre-released products, are good quality, and display some of the very welcome changes that Microsoft has made to its mobile operating system. Interestingly, there seems to be support for Xbox Live, in addition to a revamped home screen, showing off information crucial to most users. There also appears to be a new section labeled 'Me', which will of course be detailed when the announcement is made. We've included an image of the interface below, along with a gallery (again thanks to learnbemobile).

Neowin will be covering the MWC live, so keep your eyes on us for any announcements.

 

If your smartphone sports an OLED display then you probably know from experience what direct sunlight can do to the visual, and if you wanted great contrast and viewing angles you simply had to sacrifice some outdoor performance, that is until the Samsung Wave came along.

And we have a video made by Dutch portablegear showing the Samsung Wave in action outdoors, and although we don’t understand the commentary the images speak for themselves, staying readable and usable despite the bright environment.

With the Samsung Wave’s Super AMOLED the colour saturation is maintained throughout the video and shows that Super AMOLED is a tech a cut above the rest.

So without further ado check out the Samsung Wave outdoor video, which comes courtesy of the guys over at engadget, and let us know your thoughts on Samsung’s Super AMOLED display.

HTC has a press conference at Mobile World Congress tomorrow. Android.Modaco.com just got some interesting information…

First we have the HTC Desire (codename: Bravo)

It packs Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, a 1Ghz processor, a 3.7″ AMOLED WVGA resolution touchscreen with the optical trackpad into a package that is only 11.9mm thin. The spec sheet stated that it has “Friend Stream” which is probably part of HTC Sense, which is revamped for the Android 2.1 handsets.

Next up, the HTC Legend:

This looks to be the successor of the HTC Hero, which launched last year. The HTC Legend has a 3.2″ HVGA touchscreen, optical trackpad, Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, Friend Stream, and a aluminum construction.

And last we have the HTC Touch HD Mini:

No specs on this one, but it looks exactly like the Touch HD, expect it’s a lot smaller…and the addition of the “Mini” in it’s name. It’s probably running Windows Mobile 6.5 like the Touch HD.

We will only know if this is real at HTC’s conference tomorrow, but wow these handsets look amazing. Now…if one of you guys could just send a Desire my way….

olympic luge tragedy, youtube, olympic death luge video, olympic luge results, olympic death luge

Olympic death luge video YouTube and Nodar Kumaritashvili update. The Olympic death luge video will continue to be a viral internet video until the Olympics are long gone. The video was pulled from YouTube because of a “copyright claim”, although there are plenty of news networks that had coverage of the incident, and have posted the video online.

Nodar Kumaritashvili’s death took place on the Whistler track at the Vancouver winter games. He was a very experienced luger, and was hoping to make his first Olympic appearance.

New coverage has indicated that Kumaritashvili told his father that he was “scared” of the track. His dad told him to put his feet down to slow himself if he was scared.

His father says his son is brave, and started the track once he finished.

The death has caused a lot of controversy. Olympic officials have claimed that the death was due to “human error”, although the track has been criticized as too fast. Recommended speeds are typically 85 mph or less, but the Whistler track has clocked speeds of 96 mph.

DENVER — If the losses start accumulating, Marcus Camby might want to start accumulating his belongings for a possible move.

Indications are the Los Angeles Clippers will more strongly consider dealing the coveted big man if the team is not in good position to make the playoffs as the Feb. 18 trade deadline approaches. If the Clippers (19-23), who are five games out of the No. 8 spot in the West, are in contention then, there is a better chance of Camby staying.

Still, Camby's chances of remaining might not be as good as they were before power forward Blake Griffin was ruled out for the season last week due to a broken left kneecap.

Speaking to FanHouse on Dec. 26, Clippers coach and general manager Mike Dunleavy did not sound like a man ready to deal Camby, who becomes a free agent this summer.

“Everybody on our team could be traded,'' Dunleavy said then. “But we're not looking to trade him at all.''

Talking to FanHouse before Thursday's 105-85 loss to Denver at the Pepsi Center, Dunleavy did not offer as strong of a declaration.

“Committed at that time,'' Dunleavy said in reference to the previous interview. “But yet I said about all our guys, if a deal comes up that makes sense for us we don't have anybody that's not tradeable … None of us know what's out there. So I can't say somebody is untradeable, and it won't happen.''

Dunleavy had spoken before about being eager to see how Camby looked playing alongside Griffin, although he denied Thursday that Griffin being lost for the season would affect the decision whether to trade Camby.

But not having Griffin could affect the Clippers' record. Camby didn't disagree his chances could be enhanced of being dealt if the Clippers are not in good position to make the playoffs by the trade deadline.

“Probably,'' said Camby, who is averaging 8.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.98 blocks and would be extremely attractive to a contending team due to his defensive skills and expiring contract.

Camby, 35, reiterated he wants to remain with the Clippers past the trade deadline. But he's not getting his hopes up.

“I want to be here, but I said the same thing when I was in Denver,'' said Camby, traded by the Nuggets to the Clippers in July 2008. “So it remains to be seen … The NBA is a business. You can get your hopes up and then you get your hopes and dreams crushed.''

That's what happened when Camby was sent to the Clippers in what was regarded as a salary dump. But the Nuggets surprised NBA observers by picking up point guard Chauncey Billups three and a half months after dispatching Camby, and advancing to the Western Conference finals.

Camby initially was very upset at being dealt by Denver. But he said that's behind him and would consider signing with the Nuggets next summer as a free agent.

“Anything's possible,'' Camby said after totaling seven points and six rebounds against his former team. “As you can tell by the reception I got (Thursday), you know I still got a lot of supporters here. Walking off the court, and just hearing people say how they missed me here. Obviously, I missed those guys (in Denver's) locker room. I'm not burning any bridges. Anything's possible.

“I was irritated (by the July 2008 trade), but that was almost two years ago. I still have good friends over there. No animosity toward (the Nuggets). I loved playing with (Carmelo Anthony) and Nene is like my brother and (Kenyon Martin) and J.R. (Smith) is like my little brother.''

Camby has maintained ties to Denver. In fact, about 30 youngsters from the city's Boys & Girls Club, which he continues to work with, were invited by Camby to Thursday's game.

Camby had told FanHouse last month the Clippers are his top priority when it comes to picking a team next summer, and that has yet to change. But it remains to be seen if the Clippers, who have much younger big men Griffin, Chris Kaman and DeAndre Jordan as long-term pieces, would want to commit much to Camby.

“I like our team,'' Camby said. “We've got a bunch of great guys who are very talented… So it's a situation that can be promising.''

But first things first. Camby now must wait to see where he's playing when he wakes up Feb. 19.

Anthony recently told reporters he'd love to see Camby, who has salary-cap number of $9.15 million, return to Denver this season but acknowledged that's a long shot. A source close to the situation on Thursday didn't expect the Nuggets, who have their rotation set and don't want to spend much money to add to their luxury-tax bill, would make any deal of significance by the trade deadline.

Kaman told FanHouse last month it would be a “bad move'' if the Clippers traded Camby. Guard Baron Davis agrees, saying he “absolutely'' wants Camby to stay.

“Definitely,'' Davis said. “He's the heart of our defense. He's been great in the locker room for us. He's one of our leaders on this team … I love having him on this team … Everybody knows what each and every individual feels about Marcus on this team.''

If Davis wants to help the chances of Camby sticking around, the Clippers would be well served to win enough games over the next few weeks to be in playoff contention.

NBA All-Star Weekend: Former Blazer Zach Randolph has found success and popularity in Memphis

By

Geoffrey C. Arnold, The Oregonian

February 12, 2010, 5:14PM

The Associated PressZach Randolph of the Memphis Grizzlies paints a door frame on a Dallas home as part of the NBA Cares All Star Day of Service Friday.DALLAS – One of the first things Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph decided to do after he was selected to the 2010 All-Star team was to thank the fans.

To acknowledge and show his appreciation for the support in Memphis, he purchased 500 tickets to a recent Grizzlies game and gave away the tickets to local fans.

“I just wanted to let the Memphis fans know I appreciate what they did to help me get here,” Randolph said. “A lot of people can't go to the games; I wanted to help some of come to the game and watch us play.”

Randolph's first-time selection to the All-Star team continues his positive transformation as a player and a person. Once seen as selfish and immature, Randolph is now considered a team player and a veteran leader on a young ball club.

The former Trail Blazer had been overlooked and snubbed in All-Star voting during the first eight years of his career, and he is thrilled to have a chance to play in the All-Star game on Sunday at Cowboys Stadium.

“It means a lot to me,” Randolph said. “To be playing with these guys, it's something I've wanted my whole career.”

Randolph has consistently said he felt he has played well enough to be deserving of the honor in past years. But he knows that his previous reputation, coupled with often playing on losing teams, hurt his chances.

“I felt like I should have made a couple of times, but I didn't make it,” Randolph said. “Because we're winning, maybe people are seeing what I can do as a player this year.”

Randolph has experienced his share of personal issues and troubles in the past, particularly during his six turbulent seasons in Portland. However, he has cleaned up his act since leaving the Blazers and admits he had some growing up to do.

“Everybody is gonna stumble at some point in their life. I did a few times when I was in Portland,” Randolph said. “But I haven't done anything in New York, with the Clippers or (with Memphis).

Now, the 28-year-old, nine-year veteran is viewed as one of the elders on the young Grizzlies and is one of the most popular players on the team.

The fact that his personal life is a non-issue has refocused attention on his professional life as a basketball player. Randolph has produced better individual numbers during his career, and his productivity this season is viewed more favorably by his peers because the Grizzlies are winning.

Randolph is averaging 20.5 points and 11.5 rebounds a game, one of only two players (Toronto's Chris Bosh) in the league and the only player in the Western Conference averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.

“Zach has been great for us,” Memphis guard O.J. Mayo said. “He has been playing and working hard every day for us.”

The Grizzlies are 26-25 and have defeated teams such Cleveland, the Los Angeles Lakers, Denver, Orlando, Portland and Phoenix.

A buzz is building in Memphis, but Randolph and the Grizzlies know the first half of the season is done and the hard part is just beginning. They didn't help themselves by entering the break mired in a four-game losing streak and dropping from seventh to 11th in the conference standings, three games behind eighth-place Portland.

“We needed this break. Guys were getting tired and we needed this break to get ready for the stretch run of the season,” Randolph said. “I don't think guys were getting ahead of themselves, I just think we have to use this time to regroup.”

Randolph is one of the few Grizzlies who have experienced playoff basketball. Randolph was a member of the 2001-0 2 and 2002-03 Blazer teams that reached the playoffs during his first two seasons in the NBA.

“It's was a long time ago, but I remember what it was like,” Randolph said. “We've got some young guys, and I'm going to tell them that I know we have to play much better than we did in the first half (of the season). We got enough talent to make it.”

Search Like A Geek Author: Jason OConnor Copyright: 2005

Some people search the Web like a Neanderthal standing before
the Library of Congress steps grunting, 'Me want food!' While
other, more sophisticated searchers, act more like a person
actually entering the Library of Congress, approaching the
librarian, and saying, 'Pardon me, please lead me to your books
on agriculture and growing food, and while you're at it, please
show me your books on fine dining in the Washington D.C. area.'.
Who would you rather be?

Back in high school there was the 'in-crowd', often populated by
the jocks, and then there were the geeks, among other social
clicks. Today, many of those 'geeks' are wildly successful;
while some of those unfortunate others are asking us if we'd
like fries with our burgers.

So it's not so bad being a geek today, especially since so much
of our lives and economy are dominated by computers, software
and the Internet. It is wise to learn how to use the Internet as
best you can. By understanding how search engines and
directories work, like many geeks already do, you will find the
information you're looking for more easily, quickly and with a
lot less frustration. Knowing how to pinpoint specific bits of
information quickly will give you an advantage over most other
people who do not have these skills. And this advantage can turn
into big money by saving you time in your day to day business.
And learning about how to search will help in your search engine
optimization efforts if you run your own website too.

So, I invite you to pull up your pants to make high-waters,
apply some masking tape to the bridge of your eye glasses, and
insert a pocket protector in your front shirt pocket, and join
me in learning how to search like a geek.

The more appropriate words you use the better. Let's say I want
to find tickets to a new Broadway musical show called Wicked
next weekend in New York City. If you just type the word
'tickets' into Google's search box, you'll get 99.6 million
results, which is very unwieldy. The first result is
ticketmaster.com. It took 4 clicks for me to get to their
listing of Wicked tickets, but they were out of inventory up to
6 weeks from now, so it was a dead end since I want to go next
weekend.

The next result was Tickets.com, and when I searched for Wicked
on their site I found tickets available to Wicked in Toronto
only. Another dead end, I need tickets to the NYC production.

The third result only sold airline and cruise tickets, not what
I'm looking for either. After clicking on another 4 websites, I
still hadn't found what I was looking for. I was getting
frustrated, impatient and was just about ready to toss my PC out
my window and give up totally.

If instead, I used a few more appropriate words in my search, my
results would have been much better. I tried typing the words
'new york city broadway wicked musical tickets' in the Google
search box and came up with 230,000 results instead of 99
million, which is slightly more manageable.

The first result was www.musicalschwartz.com which offered
'Ticket Tips - Wicked on Broadway, Seating info'. So I clicked
on that and learned a number of things about purchasing Broadway
tickets, NYC travel tips and other information on Wicked the
musical.

The next two Google results were http://www.eagletickets.com and http://www.bestshow
ticketslasvegas.com , and they both offered tickets for the
Broadway musical Wicked in New York City on the weekend I
wanted. So by carefully choosing appropriate words to search
with and using more than one or two words, I found what I was
looking for much more easily and quickly than just searching
using the word 'tickets'.

I am not suggesting you use lots and lots of words willy nilly.
The best method is to think of very specific words related to
what you're looking for, be a little creative, and watch what
order you put the words in. Searching for 'broadway wicked
musical tickets' and 'tickets broadway wicked musical' will give
you different results.

Never search using one word. Avoid only using two words. Try to
use 3-7 words. This search rule follows the law of diminishing
returns however. So searching using 25 words will probably get
you little or no results. So there is a 'sweet spot' you'll have
to discover for any given search, but it is almost always using
more than 1-2 words.

Use more than one search engine. When I search on the Web, I use
more than one browser and more than one search engine or
directory. The difference between the two is that search engines
are run automatically while directories are run by humans.
Google is a search engine and show search results of websites
that no one has actually looked at in advance. Directories on
the other hand contain websites that have actually been reviewed
by a person. Therefore, the results you get will differ. A good
list of directories can be found at
http://www.directoryarchives.com.

Open up your browser and click on 'File' in the top left of your
browser and select 'New' > 'Window'. Do this a couple of times
until you have three or more browsers open on your desktop at
the same time. Choose your search words carefully, use more than
two words and try the same exact phrase in Yahoo, MSN, Google,
and a favorite directory using a different browser for each.
That way you can compare results to find the best ones. You can
also try a new site I found called http://yagoohoogle.com/ which
lets you perform a simultaneous search on both Google and Yahoo.

Use modifiers in your searches. Going back to the tickets
example, let's say I wanted to find airline tickets, but each
time I performed a search on tickets, most of the results had to
do with sports and theater tickets. I could weed out all those
irrelevant results by using the minus (-) sign next to the word
'theater'. Bad search: tickets Better search: tickets to New
York Even better search: airline tickets to New York 'theater

So if you are getting a lot of extraneous results in your
searches, try adding a minus sign to words you don't want
showing up in your results.

Another good tip is using quotes around your phrases. By doing
this you are telling the search engine to find the exact phrase
and in the order you are specifying. By adding quotes, you are
being much more specific. You'll get very different results
using quotes. If you searched for '2005 NBA playoff tickets'
(without quotes) you are asking the search engine to look for
sites that have the words 2005, NBA, playoff, and tickets
associated with them. So you will probably come up with airline
tickets, football playoff information, NBA history and so forth.
If you put quotes around your phrase you'll get much closer to
what you want.

Use the 'Find' function. Trust me; this one suggestion is worth
the price of admission alone. You will save lots of valuable
time if you do this. Ever get to a Web page that has a lot of
text on it, and quickly scanning the page doesn't immediately
produce what you're looking for? In fact, the scanning just
makes you dizzy.

Try this: while holding down your 'Ctrl' key hit your 'F' key
(this works on PCs only). A 'Find' dialog box should pop up.
Simply type the word or phrase you're looking for in the box and
hit 'Enter' and it will immediately find each and every instance
of it on the Web page you're on. This will truly save you time
if you remember to use it.

One can get lost on the Net. There is so much information, and
almost all of it is not applicable to what you want at any given
time. If you use the Net for your business, pinpointing
appropriate and relevant information quickly will put you ahead
of the pack every time. By following these simple suggestions,
you will find more accurate results which will reduce your
frustration, save you time, and give you an edge over others who
are still searching for information like a caveman at the steps
of a library.

Basketball does not have as much strategy as football, but has far more than baseball, because baseball has almost none except between the batter and the hitter, and even that isn’t very complicated. (Yes, I implied it, now I’m going to say it: Baseball is a game for NOT thinking—it is almost 100% reaction.) While basketball has a lot of improvisation, especially in fast-break situations, half-court possessions are extremely structured on both offense and defense, and no team can win without being very good in the half-court game.

The strategies in basketball are far too many to list here, but wikipedia would be a good guide, podunkdawg: Coach Fox has instilled the triangle offense this year (look it up), an exceptionally complex motion offense that allows the ball-handler many choices at any given point in the possession. This was a GREAT choice for this team, because they do not have a very good point guard; most offenses in basketball are run through the point guard more than the triangle is. For comparison, the Lakers in the NBA have run this for years and have never really had a good PG because they don’t need one. But the triangle is harder to learn than most offenses, so it is not suprising that the team is getting better as the year goes on. This is a combination of coaching, familiarity, and comprehension, especially for young players like Travis Leslie.

On offense, basketball is defined by series of progressive cuts, picks, player spacing, and posts. A “post-up” is when a player positions himself with back to the basket at the top (high) or bottom (low) corner of the free-throw lane to get into “triple-threat” position: Shoot, drive, or pass. Players cut around each other very closely so as to pick off defenders and make space to receive passes and shoot. They also set picks, sometimes in progression of five or six on one play, in order to end up with a good player on a weaker player. Then there is the pick-and-roll, a staple play, where a player sets a pick for a ball-handler, then “rolls” toward the basket to receive a pass from the ball-handler; the confusion of two players criss-crossing is very hard to defend. One of the oldest basketball offenses is called “the weave,” where players run almost in circles, passing the ball to each other at the center of the court, gradually cutting more closely to the basket until one streaks open to receive a pass for a layup. But this offense was designed well before the advent of shot clocks, and it takes time to run, so it isn’t used much nowadays.

Quite frankly, I have a hard time watching college games anymore because the level of play is so poor. NBA games are exponentially more beautiful because of the player’s ability to correctly run offenses and anticipate what each other will do (and watching a good half-court set in a meaningful NBA playoff game is really something. I think there are few things that match the combination of beauty and intensity of NBA playoff basketball). In addition, they can actually shoot the ball, a real lost art in college. If you watch old videos of college games from 20 years ago, you can see how much better they were at passing and shooting.

Defense in BB is just as complex; there are multitudes of variations on zone and man-to-man. Again, wikipedia will help here. I’m going to leave with this, a now-classic discourse on the way basketball is played at the highest levels. I promise you’ll be amazed at just how much of a chess match it is:

Could Valentine’s Day, a holiday meant to celebrate romantic relationships, somehow bring about their untimely end? A 2004 study at Arizona State suggests the answer is yes: Researchers found that Cupid’s arrow may actually shoot down some not-so-strong relationships.

Katherine A. Morse and Steven L. Neuberg surveyed students about their relationships one week before and one week after Valentine’s Day. They found that couples were more likely to break up during the holiday period than those surveyed at different times in the year.

“Valentine’s Day facilitates the downward trajectory from ongoing relationship difficulties to dissolution,” they write. “We believe that Valentine’s Day places romantic relationships at risk because, contrary to popular perceptions, it instigates a set of processes often detrimental to romantic relationships and catalyzes existing relationship difficulties, making it more likely that these difficulties will lead to dissolution.”

Some relationships, they argue, might be able to make it through rough times in other months, but the added pressure of Valentine’s Day may inspire couples to cut their losses. Not sure where your relationship stands: If you’ve lowered your expectations for your relationship and it still doesn’t quite measure up to other people’s, or if you’ve recently noticed how many attractive and available alternatives to your significant other are out there, you might be in a low-quality relationship.

The researchers say the holiday has no apparent influences on very high-quality relationships or new relationships on an upward trajectory. But if things haven’t been going so well with your significant other lately, the holiday spirit may be the nail in the coffin.

Confectionary Consolation — or the “Chocolate Cure”

If Valentine’s Day ruined your new-but-not-going-so-well relationship, you may wish to console yourself with a box of chocolate. Research published in November in the Journal of Preteome Research indicates that this approach is scientifically sound: Chocolate may ease emotional stress.

The researchers found that entering into a chocolate regimen has health benefits. Eating about an ounce and a half of dark chocolate every day for two weeks reduced stress hormone levels for people who described themselves as highly stressed and, the scientists report, had a partially corrective effect on other stress-related biochemical imbalances.

So if you’re feeling lonely, reach for the chocolate — it may not help you bag a date, but it should at least reduce your stress about not having one.

Motivations for Valentine’s Day Gift-Giving

Why do men give Valentine’s Day gifts? Are they driven by a sense of obligation, a desire to be romantic or perhaps the adage, ‘Give, and ye shall receive’?

Researchers at the University of Newcastle wanted to find out. They conducted in-depth interviews with 61 men between the ages of 18 and 25 who had made a Valentine’s Day purchase for a romantic partner in the past two years. The overwhelming winner? Obligation.

All of the men who participated in the study thought gift-giving was expected of them, which in their eyes made it necessary. In fact, 91 percent said that if they didn’t give gifts, their partners would react negatively.

The research team found that a sense of duty wasn’t the only thing driving purchases. Men had a self-interest motive when they bought certain gifts: For example, 89 percent of males said they would be thinking about themselves while buying lingerie and would derive pleasure from the gift.

The researchers also noted that when asked directly if they expected something in return for giving a Valentine’s Day present, 25 percent of the respondents said yes. Many of the other responses implied immaterial expectations, namely sex, with some “very descriptive” answers.

Cheap Flowers Hurt the Environment

Whatever their motivations, an estimated 32 percent of U.S. households celebrate Valentine’s Day with flowers. Whether you regard the holiday tradition of giving flowers as outdated and misogynistic or wonderfully romantic, University of Leicester researcher David Harper urges you to think before you give: Cheap flowers won’t just upset your date — they’ll also hurt Mother Earth.

Harper pointed out last year that many of the cut-price Valentine’s Day roses exported from Africa for sale in the U.K. have disastrous environmental consequences. And an article by Martin Donohoe in Human Rights Quarterly argues that the flowers and jewelry bought for Valentine’s Day support industries that degrade the earth, lead to health problems, use forced labor and add to violent conflicts.

Harper suggested choosing fair-trade roses over their cheaper counterparts; Donohoe recommends alternative gifts, including videos, home improvement projects, homemade meals and donations to charities.

Before you decide what to give your sweetheart this year, you may want do a little research. If you hurt the environment, your only respite may be the box of dark chocolate you buy yourself.

“Valentine's Day” got off to a healthy start on its namesake weekend, leading the box-office take on Friday (Feb. 12).

The star-packed romantic comedy rang up a studio-estimated $14.6 million on Friday, starting off the long weekend — Monday is Presidents Day — in first place. That's a little better than forecasters had predicted and puts the movie in line to make $50 million-plus over the four-day weekend. If it does, that would put it past “50 First Dates” as the No. 1 Valentine's weekend rom-com of all time.

The weekend's other big releases, “The Wolfman” and “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” also did fairly well on Friday. Despite poor reviews (the same could be said for “Valentine's Day”), “The Wolfman” took in an estimated $9.8 million to finish just ahead of “Percy Jackson's” $9.7 million.

“Avatar,” which was finally knocked out of the top box-office spot last weekend, raked in $4.5 million on Friday to put it ahead of the movie that dethroned it, “Dear John” ($4.1 million).

 Hey y'all! Every year I make it my duty to celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day! So I've decided to write down some of the traditional stuff for you to all read, so you can make your own Anti-Valentine's Day!

1. We must not leave a single heart unbroken! All cards, drawings, food, and anything shaped like a heart HAS to be broken! If you want to, you can get creative and add stitches! Or flames! Or anything you want!

2. Anti-Valentine's Day colors are crimson red, white, and the blackest of blacks.

3. Poetry is a big deal! Write some beautiful un-love poems and share them with the world! Or modify some famous love poems you've already heard!

4. Anti-Valentine's Theme Song: "I Don't Wanna Be In Love" - Good Charlotte

5. Recently had your heart broken? Remedy time! White paper, a black marker, and a candle are the essentials. Write the name of that little worm and draw a big heart on the page. Quickly! Draw a long line through the name and the heart! Now light it on fire and let the flames rise to the heavens! …Just keep a fire extinguisher handy. Don't go TOO crazy.

6. Kool-Aid! Don't ask why, but Kool-Aid is always drank on this holiday! Preferably, grape.

7. Ladies, I will just tell you ONE THING. The only men you need on this day are Ben & Jerry!

8. It's totally appropriate to stay inside all day watching Gilmore Girls!

That's the basics! Now get out there and make the most of Anti-Valentine's Day!

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Benjamin Disraeli

 

I love thee—I love thee!

'Tis all that I can say;—

It is my vision in the night,

My dreaming in the day;

The very echo of my heart,

The blessing when I pray:

I love thee—I love thee!

Is all that I can say.

 

I love thee—I love thee!

Is ever on my tongue;

In all my proudest poesy

That chorus still is sung;

It is the verdict of my eyes,

Amidst the gay and young:

I love thee—I love thee!

A thousand maids among.

 

I love thee—I love thee!

Thy bright hazel glance,

The mellow lute upon those lips,

Whose tender tones entrance;

But most, dear heart of hearts, thy proofs

That still these words enhance,

I love thee—I love thee!

Whatever be thy chance.

Thomas Hood, I Love Thee

 

Your voice and music are the same to me.

Charles Dickens

 

Mature as he was, she might yet be able to help him to the building of the rainbow bridge that should connect the prose in us with the passion. Without it we are meaningless fragments, half monks, half beasts, unconnected arches that have never joined into a man. With it love is born, and alights on the highest curve, glowing against the gray, sober against the fire.

E.M. Forster, Howards End, Ch. 22

 

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

Plato

Poems for the Heartbroken Selected and Arranged by Patricia Spork is an out-of-the-ordinary Valentine e-book containing poems by various authors.

I compiled this poetry e-book with  “the heartbroken” in mind and first released it around Valentine’s Day last year. Each poem is complemented by a colorful graphic. I even included one of my poems and my original “Don’t Be My Valentine! e-Greeting Series”.

There are seven “Don’t Be My Valentine! ” e-cards, themed for “The Alcoholic,” The Blowhard,” “The Cheater,” “The Drug Addict,” “The Liar,” “The Muscle-Bound” and “The Sports Person“. No offense to anyone…really! Heheheh. Each e-card is provided in two formats: 5.5″ x 4.25″ JPG and GIF, and all are Web-Optimized, so great for e-mailing, especially if you want to get a laugh from somebody or offend in highest way on Valentine’s Day. :0) Here’s small samples of my weird Valentine e-cards:

How ya like those ugly, hand-drawn, cartoonish characters? Yah, I drew ‘em, then scanned and colored and manipulated in photo-editing software. What a blast! Okay, so I’m not the best illustrator, as some or most of you know. Do you think I care? No. Haha!

Anyhoo, e-book info: Format: PDF. File Size: 2.5 MB (approx.). PP: 56.  E-Covers: 3. Rights: Transferable Master Resale Rights (MRR).
