Zero Punctuation: Left 4 Dead 2 & New Super Mario Bros Wii
Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . . . 17 NEXT
2 games at once, I haven't seen that since xbla (which sounds like someone taking a massive spit) arcade double feature. It was a nice change, perhaps Yahtzee can do more of these so that he doesn't end up having to do a lot of Christmas releases in 2010.
A second attack.
"Devious" isn't what I could call you.
I. Agree.
most excellent ZP rant! and yay for $5 mic! XD
Neither. Browser would run away too quickly from the Tank, probably via some flying contraption.
"Attack?" That wasn't an attack, Mr. Sensitive. I had to deal with the indignation of 2 people on extreme sides of an argument at once. Surely you can forgive me! I was under a lot of pressure! I had you telling me that mediocrity was wonderful and that Nintendo's claim that they couldn't render a skirt in 3D was a perfectly reasonable response for 2 Toads, and Retardinator's selective memory was telling me that Nintendo was the only company that ever repeated itself.
But worry not, my head has not exploded. Oh and that wasn't a threat, either, it was a promise. If I ever do play New SMB with you, I WILL throw your ass off a cliff.
One of the best of the series.
Campbells soup.
Whatever,my opinion sucks.
I want this cross over to happen, imagine playing as Mario, Luigi, and what ever 2 assorted Mario universe characters you prefer as you run screaming through Mushroom kingdom filled with toad zombies, Yoshi smokers, Boo Boomers, & Hunter Goombas. Bowser could be a tank.
Something about Mario and Luigi with guns is oddly appealing...
I know! I feel stupid because I think valve's bait and switch as totally worked on me. I completely forgot about HL2:3!
Well, if you don't mind someone else stepping in,why not Toad (the original red/white mushroom hat one) and Toadette? They'd fit with the "save Peach" plot and be more recognizable.
After seeing the review last week, I was afraid that Yahtzee was beginning to run out of interest in this, so he was going to do them all in a very bored, half-assed fashion. Thank God it was a one-time thing.
His points continue to be valid, and his speech is as rushed and energetic as ever.
Oh, you see, I have nothing against Mario. In fact, in think I lost count on how many hours I've spent on Galaxy, because it's just that good.
This logic would apply to any sequel. Modern Warfare 2 is just new guns in a new location, same old killing. AC2 has a few new upgrades and a new protagonist, big whoop. God of War 2 goes through the same weapon upgrades and story. The thing is, all those sequels were great games (well, MW2 was alright) that improved on already good games. That is exactly what L4D2 does. I had my reservations about it too, until I got my hands on it. I realized why the boycott died after those guys got flown out; the demo does not do it any favors.
Better than before. Good that you didn't do only Left 4 Dead 2 or Super Mario Brothers wii in your review, because that'd be boring, cocidering that they don't differ enough from their prequels to make a good review.
tank would pwn bowser !
Bowser would totally win against a tank for l4d2.
I loved Yoshi's Island. That game brings back fond memories.
It's obvious. Tank will win, due to his amazingly cheap tossing punch, so Bowser will fall off the bridge.
I figured Waluigi and Wario, really. Made more sense in my head.
Either way, after playing L4D2, then watching this video, I have to say, this review wasn't very much. He didn't really say anything regarding the game. He didn't mention the long list of things to be hated in L4D.
Similarly with Mario, it sounds more like he just didn't much feel up to playing the game, and instead just wrote a review based on pre-established points.
Yahtzee, do you see anything good comming for the Wii? I find myself scorning my purchase of the console and wish something would make it worth buying. Metroid Other M looks promising but I don't think anything is making this console viable.
I think Bowser would win, since killing a tank is just lighting him on fire and running behind a rock.
Am I the only one who thought that during the 2nd half of the review he sounded really really pissed off?
another brilliant review. I think he should now double team Halo 3 ODST and Killzone 2 together becuz that would be very lolz with brutes going after space marines. Oh wait.
I don't care one jot if HL2 part three (millwall nil) has to be put on the backburner in order for L4D2 (Millwall one) to be released. My point is, it should not matter in a review of L4D2 weather or not that is the case. That is just nid picking, non? (Yes I am a fanboy, I admit it)
And waiting 40 seconds for him to die and he becomes faster if lit, making the punch much harder to avoid.
So, Yahtzee, are you planning upon doing a review of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories once you get your hands on it? It's really worth looking at, in my opinion.
Can't get the video to load. I've tried from two different computers with different internet so that's not the problem. I'll have to keep trying.
EDIT: Thanks to the curse of awesome magicness the video loaded frst time after posting this!
Meh, I never found the Tank that tough at all. I would rather fight a tank than a horde of zombies or a Witch.
new on the forums, but have been watching ZP since the beginning and had to ask:
what's up with the over abundance of scatological references in this one?
This was a pretty good one.
The 30 ot 6 reference cracked me up. I'm glad he actually showed a legitimate image of it too.
Wow no stupid "first" posts! Yahtzee must have finely killed them!
Mario games... why are they still around? again Yahtzee said that Mario would be moving in to the cardboard box that Sonic lives in. And why has that not happened? Or maybe it has because games that are made over and over with "new" parts added in. Is the same game right? yes its fun but who cares at new price what makes me want to go out and pay $50-$60 for a game. While I know games at one point were $30 to #50. (God I am dating my self) I would buy if it was $20. As a side note L4D2, I belave it is best to play at LAN Gaming centers. I do not want to pay what ever it is for new price is. I will as well side with Yahtzee, Valve WTF no Half-Life 2 Ep. 3?
This is one of Yahtzee's better reviews in the past few months. I'm glad to see someone else point out that Nintendo is just ripping off past ideas. Yes it's nostalgic, as a single player experience it might even be fun, but is it good? Fuck no.
Once again, Yahtzee has bestowed some poignant wisdom regarding the worst gaming company in recent history. Never in my life have I heard of a more absolutely retarded concept than 'New Super Mario Bros DS on the Wii', because that's all it is really; repackage a previously released title (which has been released prior New Super Mario Bros Wii about a billion times) and sell it again. How the hell could anybody have bought this? If Darwin's theory of evolution could be applied to Video Games then Nintendo should technically not exist. They become more powerful the more repetitive and unoriginal they are. I heartily look forward to 'New New Super Mario Bros DS' and 'New New Super Mario Bros DS on the Wii'.
Oh, and L4D2 does fall into this hole as well, but I'm willing to forgive Valve because they've actually released something original in the past decade.

Washington, D.C., April 6, 2006 - Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher Cox today announced the appointment of David Bergers as the District Administrator of the Commission's Boston District Office (BDO). In this position, Bergers will oversee both the enforcement and examination programs in the New England area. He will assume his position immediately. Bergers succeeds Walter Ricciardi who became a Deputy Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement in Washington, D.C. a number of months ago. Bergers, 38, currently is the Associate District Administrator for Enforcement in the BDO, a post he has held since July, 2003.
"David Bergers has consistently impressed the Commission with his professionalism, broad knowledge of the securities law, and compassion for individual investors," said Chairman Christopher Cox. "His impressive range of experience in the private sector and at the SEC, where he has held a succession of important management positions, will serve investors well."
SEC Director of Enforcement, Linda Thomsen stated, "I am very pleased that David Bergers will lead our Boston District Office. David is an exceptionally talented lawyer and a superb manager as well. During his tenure at the Commission, David has been responsible for many significant enforcement cases that exemplify the Commission's commitment to investor protection and fairness in the securities markets. David's record of achievement inspires great confidence in his leadership and excellent judgment.
Lori Richards, Director of the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, added, "In taking over the helm of the Boston District Office, I am confident that David will continue to capably serve investors by continuing the office's fine work in providing compliance examination oversight of firms in the New England area."
Mr. Bergers said, "The Boston District Office has an outstanding team of examination and enforcement professionals dedicated to protecting investors. I look forward to working with each member of this team to accomplish the SEC's mission."
As an attorney and manager in the BDO, Bergers has spearheaded a number of important Commission enforcement actions. Most recently, Bergers played a key role in the Commission's market timing cases against Putnam, Massachusetts Financial Services Company (MFS) and two subsidiaries of Fleet Boston, in which the SEC recovered several hundred million dollars for injured investors. Bergers has also led investigations that resulted in several significant enforcement cases in the areas of insider trading, offering fraud and accounting fraud. In those cases, the Commission sued, among others, the former general counsel of a public company for his role in a financial fraud, a former broker who participated in a $40 million investment scheme, and the highest ranking attorney at another public company who sold his stock in advance of an announcement of bad news.
Bergers joined the BDO initially in 1998 as an enforcement staff attorney and subsequently served as a Branch Chief and as an Assistant District Administrator in the BDO's enforcement program. Prior to joining the SEC, Bergers was a litigation associate with law firms in Boston and Philadelphia. Between his years with the Commission, he also served as a Vice President and Assistant General Counsel of Tucker Anthony Inc., a regional broker-dealer located in Boston.
Bergers received his B.A., magna cum laude, from Eastern Nazarene College in 1989 and his J.D. from Yale Law School in 1992.

VERNON -- Vernon police have accused a nurse practitioner who ran a family practice of trying to recruit a patient and her daughters to be his sex slaves.
A warrant that was unsealed in Superior Court in Rockville on Tuesday says 44-year-old Jay T. Mohler-Avery, of Hartford, allegedly tried to take delivery of the patient's 18-month-old daughter so he could sexually assault her.
The Hartford Courant reports that Mohler-Avery is jailed on charges of attempted sexual assault, conspiracy to commit sexual assault and other allegations.
An unidentified woman said Mohler-Avery expressed an interest in her 18-month-old daughter, asking her to bring the infant to him so he could "break her in early."
Mohler-Avery also was charged with larceny and insurance fraud for allegedly billing Medicaid without providing services.

The Money Noose: Jon Corzine and the Collapse of MF Global
By Scott E.D. Skyrm
Brick Tower Press, June 2013
$21.95; 250 pages
In the first book published about the collapse of MF Global in October 2011, Scott Skyrm describes the two ways a noose can kill you. There is the quick way, when it breaks your neck as the trapdoor falls out from underneath you, and there is the slow way, when it slowly cuts off oxygen over an extremely agonizing 10 minutes. MF Global's demise was the slow, excruciating way.
In his autopsy of MF Global, Skrym argues that a combination of economic conditions (particularly concerning the European debt crisis), a change in accounting requirements and finally, the self-preservation actions of banks, clearinghouses, counterparties and clients who had relationships with MF Global combined in a perfect storm to tighten the money noose slowly. Add to that a high-profile CEO who knew he had a hard-stop deadline of Sept. 30, 2011 from the credit rating agencies to show at least $250 million in pretax annual profits or risk any dream of being considered a good investment or counterparty.
If you are interested in a chronicle of the activity in MF Global's final days, jump straight to page 169. In my opinion, Skyrm correctly identifies the beginning of the end as Oct. 17, 2011 when The Wall Street Journal published an article with the headline "MF Global told to boost capital." That article, which brought to light capital issues initially disclosed in June, was "the spark that would become a bonfire," he writes. Within 10 days, the company had reported a $191 million quarterly loss because of reporting changes required by regulators and auditors over the summer that related to the European debt trades, and its credit rating had been downgraded to junk. Within 14 days, it had declared bankruptcy.
However, if you are interested in understanding the backstory to MF Global and its business and risk-management practices as well as the why and how of the many dominoes that fell, start at the beginning of Skyrm's book. You'll come away with good explanations of how the futures markets work, the roots of the European debt crisis and how the repo markets work — all of which help you understand why Corzine/MF Global were so attracted to trading sovereign debt in PIIGS with billions of dollars of house money.
Skyrm obviously knows his stuff, as you would expect given his 22+ years on Wall Street. And, he obviously has a lot of the details about what went on at MF Global, particularly during Corzine's reign, which began in March 2010. You would assume that his information mostly came from public records made available following the bankruptcy, but nowhere does it say for sure, which would give the reader confidence that the information is accurate. And, although his numerous chapter-opening analogies are good, their length at times unnecessarily interrupts the book's flow.
As for pointing the finger at who was to blame for the criminal act of moving customer segregated funds into company-owned coffers, Skyrm leaves that to lawsuits pending at the time of writing and publication (notably before the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's filing in late June 2013 against Corzine and Assistant Treasurer Edith O'Brien). However, he does make a pointed observation that the "few organizations" that control margin and leverage in international markets are a "mini-monopoly" and "can be a death knell for firms." Indeed, a death knell by noose.
Susan Abbott Gidel is owner of SusanGSays LLC, a copywriting and marketing consultancy in Chicago. She was vice president of retail marketing at MF Global when it declared bankruptcy. She blogs about the markets and industry issues at www.susangsays.com/opinion/my-write-hand-blog.

It was very convenient to be able to receive a certificate from the comfort of my home. The facilitator and staff were very helpful.- D.M., East Central College
The flexibility was very important to me…having recently lost my job and having life events interfere with my studies. The facilitator was very professional and accessible. This was my first online course experience. I was very impressed...and would take another course in the future.- J.S., Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Mr. Casey Thompson, was an excellent facilitator. He replied to all concerns about the class in a timely manner.- M.D., Kennesaw State University

Daryl Richardson has won the St. Louis Rams' running back derby.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher confirmed the expected with reporters Monday, announcing that Richardson will start in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Richardson entered camp in a competition with Isaiah Pead, Zac Stacy and Benny Cunningham. Pead -- a second-round draft pick in 2012 -- failed to make an impact with his first-team reps Saturday against the Green Bay Packers.
It's worth noting that Pead wasn't going to be part of the Rams' game plan against the Cardinals anyway. Pead is suspended for Week 1 for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.
We're not ready to give up on Pead, who still has the most upside of any back on the Rams' roster. (We didn't make him a "Making The Leap" candidate for nothing.) Still, Richardson gets the first crack at this thing.The "Around The League Podcast" is now available on iTunes! Click here to listen and subscribe.

"It was our first meet back, and we didn't run everyone in their normal event, because we wanted to see where we were after a week of practice," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "For the most part, we picked up pretty much where we left off when we left for break. We're off to a good, solid start, but we have some work in front of us."

District of Columbia Police Department Clarifies Condom Policy
March 15, 2013
In July 2012, just prior to the International AIDS Conference hosted by Washington, D.C., Human Rights Watch released "Sex Workers at Risk: Condoms as Evidence of Prostitution in Four US Cities." The report details concerns that police, with the support of prosecutors, were using condoms to justify the stop, search, and arrest of sex workers on prostitution charges. Using condoms as evidence creates incentives for people who may be highly at risk for HIV to abandon condoms and regular condom use. From a health policy perspective, such an outcome is disastrous since it increases the likelihood of new infections. Although some of the city's officials protested the findings, stating that such arrests were against policy, Human Rights Watch interviewed 40 people and received numerous reports that condoms were being used in this way.
As a result of the report, AIDS United and AIDS United grantees HIPS and The Women's Collective, along with Human Rights Watch, D.C. Appleseed and the D.C. Trans Coalition, met with several city officials, including Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice, Paul Quander; Chief of Police of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), Cathy Lanier; and Dr. Gregory Pappas, Senior Deputy Director at the D.C. Department of Health, who is responsible for HIV/AIDS issues in the city. As a result of the meeting and in order to clarify Washington, D.C.'s policy on condoms, Chief Lanier agreed to distribute cards that note MPD's support for the distribution of condoms to prevent HIV, that people may carry as many condoms as they want and that possession of condoms is not a reason to conduct a search. Advocates were extremely pleased by this clarification of policy and issued a press release detailing the change. In addition, MPD has announced the use of the cards during their morning roll calls.
The cards, which feature a row of colorful condoms and the MPD logo are an attractive and innovative way of spreading the news to both individual police officers and members of the community that condoms may not be used as grounds for a search. They additionally provide information about how to make a complaint if there is a violation of this rule. The coalition thanked the officials involved for their willingness to clarify the policy and will continue to seek improvements in HIV prevention for sex workers and others in Washington, D.C., and elsewhere.
The card issued by the MPD can be viewed here.

Hi the importsguy I am one of your Australian customers! And a happy one at that.
This makes me rather glad that I bought my obviously bootlegged Rolling Stones Mono CDs a year or so ago. I don't think they'd exist now.
Ebay has gotten too big they no longer have any real idea what they are doing.

Last week I had the brilliant idea of writing every Sunday as a way to ensure I brought purposeful attention to writing and KitchenTableWisdom.com
A quick look at the last post shows how unsuccessful I was.
Even funnier is the last post shows how I managed to skip right past August and now nearly pole vaulting September.
Where does the time go?
If I could even catch a glimpse of time I'd follow right behind out the window to see where it flies.
I suspect I'd have all the time in the world upon reaching the final destination.
Can't you just picture all those seconds lounging on a sunny beach somewhere with umbrella drinks in hand.
Hours playing volleyball, months out para-sailing and years singing karaoke in the tiki hut bar.
But what if we're supposed to follow time out the window, to stop measuring ourselves against lines, numbers and letters on paper.
I notice I'm most productive when I forget about time.
There's a shift from an external, yet self-induced pressure to listening more deeply within.
What's important shows itself more readily in the presence of less noise.
Through this lens, the days behind me take on a much different perspective.
Much has been accomplished when I look at what's happened without the sequence of time.

CENTERVILLE, Mass.—Freshman Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.) has been named the ECAC East Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
The award is the fourth weekly honor of the season for the highly-decorated left-winger and first Player of the Week award. He joins Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.) as the only Beacons to be named the ECAC East Player of the Week this season.
MacIntyre scored four goals and added an assist on the weekend, to help the Beacons to a 2-0 week. The freshman forward scored both game-winning goals and recorded two goals in each game for his third and fourth career multiple-goal games.
Friday night he finished with two goals and an assist in a 6-4 win over Skidmore College. Saturday afternoon he was even better, accounting for all the UMB scoring in the first 12 minutes, to help UMass Boston capture their first win at Castleton State since 2005 in a 2-1 win.
The former Boston Bandit forward leads the Beacons with 16 goals on the season and is third on the team with 27 points in 21 contests. He currently ranks second in the nation amongst all freshmen with 1.29 points per game, behind only Adrian College's Shaquille Merasty (1.43 ppg).

Zhang Awarded Sustained Knowledge Building Grant
Albany, NY (November 1, 2011) - Jianwei Zhang (PI), Educational Theory and Practice, and Mei-Hwa Chen (Co-PI), Computer Science, received $550,000 from the National Science Foundation for the project entitled Fostering Collective Progress in Online Discourse for Sustained Knowledge Building.
Inquiry-based learning requires a sustained, progressive trajectory to be productive. This three-year project will produce conceptual, pedagogical, and technological advances to make sustained, progressive inquiry more achievable among young students and further extend it to a network of classrooms that builds shared knowledge and resources for continual advancement of ideas. This project is funded by the Cyberlearning: Transforming Education program of the National Science Foundation which is dedicated to integrating advances in technology with advances in what is known about how people learn.
Classroom innovations to prepare students for creative careers in the 21st century need to engage students in sustained, progressive inquiry by which ideas are continually developed and refined, giving rise to higher-level goals. Students need to learn how to monitor, build on, and advance their collective knowledge in a community —the "state of the art" that has emerged from extended, collaborative discourse. Online learning environments support extended discourse but lack effective representation of collective knowledge progress; student online discourse is thus often disconnected and lacks deepening questions and ideas. To represent and visualize collective progress in online discourse, this project will create a software tool for Inquiry Threads Mapping (ITM) that interoperates with collaborative online learning platforms. A set of ITM-aided designs will be tested in elementary science classrooms to foster a sustained, progressive trajectory of inquiry. These designs will focus on (a) collaborative reflection on progress of understanding over time within a community, (b) cross-community build-on for sustained progress mediated through student-created inquiry threads and syntheses, and (c) inquiry threads of productive knowledge-building communities as a resource to support progressive inquiry in emerging communities.

After Eamon Grennan's "Start of March, Connemara"
You ask how the gulls find the right angle in the gale,
how they adapt to the current and let it take them
the way they were going. I could ask the same of you:
how do you find thumbed and wind-scumbled,
thrusting them together like lost lovers,
letting them glance off each other, polished stones
on our tongues? Or glitterwings making their mark,
a dance linguists call the fricative,
a word I love because it is what it means,
unlike palindrome, which resists mirroring itself
and sends me, instead, to a girl I knew in college,
the one from Glenelg — g-l-e-n-e-l-g, the same
forward and back. She had hips that looked good
in boy jeans and a way of making the professor
believe she'd done the reading when she hadn't
even bought the book. Do you see what just happened,
how I started in your lyrical world of shorelines
and wave-peaks and wound up recording
slumber party giggles through a thin wall? Your gulls:
maybe they don't harness wind after all.
Maybe they give in to each gust and forsake their plans,
having learned long ago to want what they have.

Watch: 'Queer as Folk' Cast Reunite for the 1st Time in Over a Decade
It's been over a decade since "Queer as Folk" aired its series finale but the cast from the iconic ground-breaking show reunited this week for Entertainment Weekly's LGBTQ Pride issue.
After 13 years, the cast and crew of "Queer as Folk" (Hal Sparks, Gale Harold, Peter Paige, Scott Lowell, Randy Harrison, Robert Gant, Sharon Gless, Thea Gill, and Michelle Clunie) met up to reflect on the Showtime drama and looked back at their experiences filming the show, which debuted in 2000 and ran for five seasons. They also discussed how LGBTQ life has changed and evolved over the years since "QaF" has been off the air, mentioning the Pulse nightclub shooting.
"Two of the survivors of the Pulse attack came up to me and said, 'We just wanna thank you all for having done that storyline about Babylon [nightclub getting bombed.]'" Gant, who played Ben, said. "They were just very teary, and I feel that there are so many aspects that have stayed current."
Lowell, who played Ted, also talked about what it is like for people to discover the show through streaming services like Netflix.
"We stopped making this like 90 years ago and people are still discovering it for the first time and thinking it's real," he told EW.
Ron Cowen, who served as the show's executive producer, added:
"I think it's actually so thrilling to know that young gay people are watching this show because they didn't grow up with all the stuff that we were dealing with at the turn of the 21st century. We all went through a lot of stuff," he said. "So they come to the show with a very different point of view, but the one similarity I find with the young people now and the people back then that they've all said is that 'you showed me, I saw myself' and that meant so much to people. And the other thing they all say is 'in watching your show, I knew I wasn't alone' and that's a blessing."
"People came for the queer, but they stayed for the folk," Paige, who played Emmett, said.

Blue of Noon
Penguin, 2001 - Fascism - 128 pages
One of the twentieth century's great nihilist novels, Blue of Noon is a blackly compelling account of depravity and terror that retains all its shocking power today. Set in pre-war Europe, its narrator lurches despairingly from city to city in a surreal sexual and mental nightmare of squalor, sadism and drunken encounters - his journey into madness mirroring the fighting and marching on the streets outside. Confronting Fascism, the novel is torn between identifying with history's victims and being seduced by the violent glamour of its terrible victors. One of the most brilliant intellects and influential French writers of his time, Bataille's unflinching exploration of the dark forces beneath the surface of civilization defies all our expectations.

Most Antivirus Products Improve in Latest AV-Test Report
As always, the researchers assigned products from 0 to 6 points in three areas. Protection refers to the product's ability to prevent malware from infesting a clean system. A high Repair score means the product did a good job cleaning up and repairing a system that had already been infested by malware. If the security put a drag on system speed or sucked up system resources, it got a low Usability score. Summing all three, a product must earn 11 of a possible 18 points to reach certification.
The chart below shows the results sorted by descending total score. I used the last test's score as a tie-breaker.
As in the previous test, Bitdefender took the top score, with 17 of 18 possible points. Kaspersky and F-Secure came close with 16.5 points, and ZoneAlarm, newly tested in this report, scored 16 points, an impressive debut.
Not counting ZoneAlarm, Fortinet, and Lavasoft, which weren't tested last month, 11 products improved their scores, six declined, and three stayed the same. The average change was a rise of 0.4 points. Note that in a break from the usual pattern, both this test and the previous were performed under Windows 7, 64-bit last time, 32-bit this time.
BullGuard aced the protection test, receiving the maximum of 6.0 points. Bitdefender and Kaspersky got 6.0 points for repair, and Norton scored 6.0 usability points. At the other end of the spectrum, while AhnLab did scrape up the 11 points required for certification, it took the lowest score for protection, just 1.5 points. With 2.5 points, Qihoo, PC Tools, and McAfee share the lowest score for repair of malware attacks.
AV-Test separately evaluated business-specific solutions from F-Secure, Kaspersky, McAfee, Microsoft, Sophos, Symantec, Trend Micro, and Webroot. Kaspersky, Symantec, and F-Secure led the pack, with 16.5, 16.0, and 15.5 points. Trend Micro managed to pull up its failing 8.0 score from last time to a just-passing 10.5 (business products need 10 points total or 3.5+ in two categories). As in the consumer product, McAfee scored 2.5 points for repair. In the last test it took 13.5 points; in this one just 11.
I consider dynamic, whole-product tests to be a much better indicator of an antivirus technology's capabilities than static tests. It's one thing to scan a million static files with an antivirus and record how many it detects. It's quite another thing to send it into the trenches to repair an active malware infestation. Thanks, AV-Test!

As much as the cotton industry would like to keep Step 2 through the end of the current farm bill, that is looking less and less likely to happen, the president of the National Cotton Council, Mark Lange, says.
Step 2, most farmers will recall, is the portion of the U.S. cotton industry's three-step competitiveness program that was ruled illegal by a WTO appeals panel in March. The panel set a July 1 deadline for its elimination, but Congress must change the 2002 farm bill before Step 2 can be dropped.
"The position of the National Cotton Council has been that anything that came out of the WTO should be addressed in the next farm bill," Lange told members of the American Cotton Producers and The Cotton Foundation at their joint meeting in New Orleans Aug. 5. "But our friends on Capitol Hill tell us they cannot continue to hold the line on Step 2.
"We anticipate that legislation could be introduced during the budget process in September that would require Step 2 to end on July 31, 2006."
While that date would be too soon for those who think the 2002 farm bill should remain intact until its scheduled expiration in 2007, it would still be preferable to bringing it to an end this year, according to the Cotton Council's CEO.
"The USDA proposal — announced on July 5 — basically said that once legislation was passed, President Bush would sign it, and the next day Step 2 would be gone," said Lange.
National Cotton Council leaders have urged Congress to consider the "significant disruption" likely to occur within the U.S. cotton industry if Step 2 was ended during the marketing year.
Some industry analysts believe the elimination of Step 2 will cost U.S. merchants millions of dollars in export sales because U.S. prices currently are above the world market. Others say Step 2 has become less of a factor because of changes that make the program less attractive to merchants.
Lange says the NCC is hopeful that Congress will say no to an immediate end to Step 2, and, instead, set its termination by a certain date. "This will not only satisfy the WTO, but also produce budget savings," he noted.
"That won't be enough to satisfy the Brazilians," he said. "It's a big thing for us, but the Brazilians will be back, threatening us with retaliation, not against cotton, but in protection of intellectual property or on some other trade issue."
If Lange's comments seemed somewhat muted, it was with good reason. The morning he spoke in New Orleans, the Wall Street Journal printed another article trying to lay the problem of poverty in Africa's cotton producing countries at the feet of the U.S. cotton program.
The article led with an account of the visit last January by John Pecheu, chairman of the American Cotton Producers and a cotton farmer from Tranquility, Calif., and Deputy Undersecretary of Agriculture Jim Butler to a village in Mali.
"The article was very sarcastic about any efforts of the National Cotton Council to help farmers in Africa," said Lange. "It's written by the same two guys who attacked (former Cotton Council Chairman) Kenneth Hood two years ago. This one is not so much about John Pecheu personally, but it accuses the NCC of seeking to appear altruistic while trying to protect its subsidies."
Lange recounted the Council's role in the enactment of the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement, which passed the House and Senate in close votes. The Council was a late supporter of the agreement, getting on board after the Bush administration altered it to make it more palatable to the U.S. textile industry.
"Some of those changes were originated by Gaylon Booker (former NCC executive vice president and trade consultant) two years ago," he said. "But the administration said they wouldn't work."
The Council is also monitoring the talks for a new Andean trade agreement in South America and "trying to make sure it does not contain the rules of origin for textile components that caused problems in DR-CAFTA."
Lange said the Council continues to work with the U.S. textile industry on the filing of petitions for safeguard provisions aimed at slowing the flood of Chinese textile and apparel products into the United States.
"Currently, seven safeguards are in place, and four are actually binding," Lange said of the provisions that limit the growth of imports in a specific category to 7.5 percent of the amount shipped in the previous year. "China can't ship any more product in those categories until January of 2006."
Despite its success with the limits in those categories, Lange said, the cotton industry is beginning to throw its support behind a long-term arrangement with China — such as that recently negotiated by the European Union — to handle Chinese textile and apparel shipments through 2008.
The Doha Round negotiations in the World Trade Organization continue to be one of the most worrisome areas of the trade arena, however. And the most worrisome of all may be the cotton subcommittee formed by the WTO in response to the claims by the African cotton-producing countries last year.
"The head staff person for the subcommittee has openly said there will be special treatment for cotton," said Lange, who, along with other industry leaders, has maintained the subcommittee was established to monitor the negotiations and not to play a role in developing provisions.
"We also continue to hear about an 'early harvest' for cotton subsidies," he noted. "While the negotiators talk about a 10-year phase-out for agricultural subsidies, in general, they're talking about five years for cotton."
WTO leaders had planned to have much of the Doha Development Agreement finalized in time for the next ministerial-level meeting scheduled for Hong Kong in December. Because negotiators failed to reach a consensus on several areas at their meeting in Geneva last month that may prove difficult to accomplish.
"I'm afraid that we at the National Cotton Council view most of this in Geneva as damage control," he said. "I'm convinced that nothing good can come out of this for cotton. Other crops, such as soybeans, can see good things if they can achieve greater market access. As a result, they're more willing to talk about reductions in loan rates and counter-cyclical payments."
The uncertainties surrounding the WTO negotiations and other trade issues are ratcheting up the pressure on the Council staff and its resources, he said.
"Because of what's at stake for us, we have to have a presence in Geneva at the WTO, in Africa, at meetings like the ministerial conference in Honk Kong, and it's eating up a lot of our travel budgets."

Capital Flows and Trade in an Integrated World
Abstract (Summary)The world we live in is increasingly integrated. For the work of economists, increasing international integration bears a significant importance. The present thesis is essentially a work on International Economics. As such it is no exception in that it consists of different chapters, all of which address different issues in the field. The first two chapters are theoretical in nature, whereas the third is empirical. The last chapter provides a technical reference to mathematical problems encountered in the first chapter. The first chapter is concerned with one of the negative effect of international trade: terms-of-trade uncertainty. It asks (and answers) the question why economic agents in practice fail to (completely) hedge away foreign price uncertainty in the presence of well-developed forward markets, even though theoretically they should obtain a full-hedge. The second chapter explores some of the effects international capital flows bring to a country that opens up its capital account. The third chapter describes the evolution of international capital flows and trade flows over that last decade. The last chapter is concerned with the existence of explicit demand schedules under expected utility maximization when the random variable is nonlinearly transformed.

OS X already includes the disc burning options which most people would need on a day-to-day basis – files can be easily copied to disc, and there is also the option of creating and working with disc images. As such, you may wonder why anybody would need a third party disc burning tool. But glance through the features and options available in Roxio Toast 11 Titanium, and you quickly start to understand just what is missing from the Mac OS.
A slightly re-designed interface makes it easier than ever to navigate through Toast's various options. In addition to standard disc burning tools, there is also an impressively easy to use backup app that can be used to secure your files – but the main focus of the suite is on getting creative with your media files
As such, it is easy to create audio, video and photo-based discs and even create covers and labels for them. Audio and video can be captured from a variety of sources including web sites and camcorders, and there are a number of conversion options available – including the ability to optimise video for display on iOS devices. Support for multiple burners means that creating several copies of the same disc is now faster than ever.
The Pro version of Toast 11 Titanium includes a number of extra tools and options, such as the ability to burn high definition video to a standard DVD, but there is also support for Blu-ray burning. A copy of Adobe Photo Photoshop Elements is included to allow for image optimisation and manipulation, while FotoMagico 3 RE can be used to create eye-catching photo projects with your snaps. You'll also get a copy of BIAS SoundSoap 2 SE which can be used to clean up audio that has been captured from a variety of sources.
Whichever version of Toast you decide to buy, you are investing in a feature packed disc burning suite. Whether you are looking to create the occasional DVD from camcorder footage, create photo slideshows to commemorate a family event, or backup all of the data on your Mac, everything you need, and much more, can be found here.
There's no trial version of Toast 11. The download links here point to the store, where you can purchase Toast 11.
Note that Toast 11.1 ships with a whole host of improvements, including full support for Mountain Lion, Retina user-interface and much more.
This is a superb package of disc burning tools, but if you do not intend to make use of all, or at least most of them, it could be regarded as a little expensive.

The final hitch in the issue related to the demarcation of eco-sensitive zone around the Okhla Bird Sanctuary has finally been resolved. It has come as a major relief to the homebuyers that the eco-sensitive zone will be within the radius of 100 m to 1 km around the bird sanctuary. This was mentioned in a draft notification issued for the same; final notification is expected to come out next week.

OAKLEY — If there are any fans of online gambling in Oakley, you won't find them at an Internet cafe here.
The city moved this week to place a permanent ban on places that have more than four computers with Web access available for public use in an effort to avoid the crime these so-called Internet cafes attract.
The establishments offer customers a chance to participate in online sweepstakes, purchasing time on the Internet in hopes of winning prizes.
Oakley has prohibited them since September, when the council adopted an interim urgency ordinance to buy time while it studied the issue.
Antioch and Pittsburg already have outlawed Internet cafes; Brentwood allows them but requires the prospective business to apply for a permit from the chief of police.
Oakley's concerns include unsupervised minors loitering in front of the businesses and late-night noise. More worrisome is the criminal activity that other local cities have reported in and around these businesses — robberies, burglaries and illegal drug use as well as assaults, public drunkenness and vandalism.
Once it becomes official, Oakley's ordinance will allow exceptions for schools, libraries and other public facilities as well as nonprofits.
And as East County's other cities have discovered, businesses with four or fewer publicly accessible computers don't draw the kind of crime that larger operations do, Special Counsel Bill Galstan wrote in his staff report.

When the timing lever is up - fully retarded - what should be the position of the little lever on the lower end that connects to the timer?
Dennis, what year is your car. That dimension is different in the '09-10 cars with the brass two-piece timer. The bend on the timer end of the timer rod goes inward on these cars and outward on the later cars.
This is the most important dimension for the overall performance of your engine. I suggest that you arrive at your setting based on piston position. This critical setting can vary from one make timer to another and wear has to be taken into account.
Here goes: Remove the timer end of the commutator rod and retard the timer lever on the column. Remove #1 plug and hand crank engine with your thumb over the plug hole. When your thumb is blown out, you are in the compression stroke. Look down in the plug hole with a flashlight and note the top of the piston. Slowly crank the engine until the piston has dropped down about 1/8" past TDC. Now turn on your ignition to the BAT position and rotate the timer counter clockwise until you hear the coil buzz. Stop here, turn off the ignition and bend the timer rod at the curved timer end to line up with the timer. Install the rod and cotter pin. Turn back to BAT and move the quadrant lever to confirm your setting. Since you are relating to piston travel, this proceedure works
for both early and late T's.
Lee - Thank you for your answer.
My concern is with the position of the small arm on the end of the spark lever. It does not seem to move in the correct fashion to change the spark advance.
Here are some photos to help you understand my question.
The first shows the position of the lower arm when the lever is in the fully retarded position.
Notice that the arm is at about the 2:00 position when viewed from the front.
The second photo shows the position of the lower arm when the lever is in the fully advanced position.
Note that the arm is now at about 5-6:00.
This is directly below the retarded location and provides the same distance from the timer as the upper position.
Is this arm in the correct position?
My picture is too large to post, but mine is at about 12:00 when fully retarded
Pat - 12:00 or earlier would make sense. Then the rod would be pulling as it was moving to advance.
How do I move the lever?
Aren't those arms pinned on the shaft? Is your's somehow turned around and therefore placing the pin in the incorrect position. I'm about 1700 miles from my model T's right now but I'll be interested in the answer.
August 1911 factory drawing of the part shows the angle of the hole in relation to the lever upper end by a view looking at the end of the long shaft with the lever shown in the vertical position.
Oops - sorry about the size of the drawing - I forgot to scale it down. Oh well - if your birthday is prior to 1944 you probably will appreciate the size I posted
The short answer to your original question is noon (or midnight). Seeing the question, I went out and looked at four vehicles. Two of them happen to have their timer rods off. On all four, the fully retarded position of the little lever is twelve o'clock (or maybe a minute or two after). With the timer rod missing, it will go down to about four, but with it in place the limit of downward travel is three o'clock. As you pointed out, anything past three would be superfluous, as it heads back toward the timer.
John - Thank you that is just what I was looking for.
I appreciate the size DOB 5/10/1943.
I would almost guess that at some point the timer itself, the connecting rod, or something else got hung up and when someone forced the lever up it twisted your spark rod.
Pat - I am sure that you must be correct.
The hole in my spark rod is about 90 degrees to the left of the center line instead of 21 degrees to the right.
I checked another rod - one that I chose not to use and it is in a straight line with the upper end.
It looks like i better drill a new hole.
Thank you all for your help.
I thought I would bring this back to the top because my Advance Rod Lever was over the 12 O'Clock Position (Maybe 10 or 11 o'clock) and hitting the Pitman Arm.
So on a 1922 Touring the pin hole should be at 21 degrees from noon so maybe about 1 O'Clock or so?
It should look like this at full retard. The timing lever goes under the water inlet pipe.
I like that brass water pipe Royce. I really debated getting one a few weeks ago but now I see I'm going to need one.
I would like to add, that the earlier cars have the lever bent, so when installed on the car, the hole for the commutator rod is horizontal, and the swivel joint will just drop into the top, not upside down like in Royces picture. I'm looking at the photo of that part in a 1917 parts book, and it appears to be the bent type, but it's hard to tell. I noticed too, the adjustable end for the throttle rod is still pictured, but is not listed, so they must have dropped it by then.
I am looking for the correct position of the little pinned lever arm at the end of the Timing rod from the steering column.
My little pinned lever hits the pitman arm just as the timing rod reaches full retard stop at the quadrant. I thought I should fill in the hole and re-drill it to the proper location. Is the 21 degree drawing shown a few posts above, correct for the 1922 Touring?
If your little pinned lever hits the pitman arm just as the timing rod reaches full retard stop at the quadrant you should be good. If you were to rotate the lever so that there was a space between the pitman arm and lever then your would limit the amount of moment at full advance. I think you are just right now.
It doesn't seem right to me that it would hit the Pitman Arm. That drawing shows 21 degrees which also seems a bit far the other way. I guess I am wondering if that drawing applies to the 1922 as well?
Where is everyone else's Lever Arm stopping at full retard and full advance? Is it 12 O'Clock to 4 O'Clock or something else.
Based on John's drawing the lever would be close to the 11:00 position when viewing from the front when fully retarded. My 26 is between 11:00 and 12:00 and is very close to the steering shaft when fully retarded.
This photo pretty much shows were it would be at full retard.
Photo from:
Ok I guess I was looking at the drawing wrong. I was looking at the drawing as if the rod was in the fully retarded position in the car, not as if the rod was laying flat on a bench.

KKR, Bain to Sell About 50 Million Shares of HCA
Hospital chain company HCA Holdings Inc. said it intends to sell up to $1.8 billion in shares in a secondary offering, which could turn into a hefty payday for its private equity backers Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co and Bain Capital.
HCA said its stockholders would sell about 50 million shares in the offering. At the current market price of $36 per HCA share, the offering could return as much as $1.8 billion. The company said the selling stockholders would receive all proceeds of the offering.
Shares were falling 2% to $35.91 in premarket trading Tuesday. The offering is expected to close by Feb. 15, the company said.
The $21.3 billion buyout of HCA in 2006 was one of the biggest buyouts done during the private equity boom years. KKR and Bain invested roughly $4.9 billion in the company at the time and financed the rest of the purchase with debt.
