Hearing Aid Vacuums Might Be Handy For Earbud Maintenance [Vacuums]
Romney gets Bush backing, but no sign of George W.
HOUSTON (AP) ? George W. Bush is as hard to find in his father's office as he is in the 2012 presidential contest.
The 43rd president appears in a gold-framed picture tucked into a far corner of the room, partially hidden by a Texas flag and a cabinet door. The placement, whether intentional or not, is a reminder of the Republican presidential campaign and the lengths to which Romney and his rivals have tried to marginalize the two-term president.
The younger Bush was an afterthought Thursday as his father, former President George H.W. Bush, met with current GOP front-runner Mitt Romney ? until a reporter raised the issue.
"I haven't met with President George W. Bush. We speak from time to time," Romney replied when asked if he had sought the younger Bush's endorsement.
Reporters were forced out of the room before they could ask more questions about Romney's connection to the Republican president who left office three years ago with the nation on the brink of financial ruin.
George W. Bush has been ignored for months in the Republican presidential campaign. But his absence has been more pronounced in recent days as Romney trumpeted endorsements from the former president's father and younger brother, former Florida. Gov. Jeb Bush, as he spent two days courting donors in Texas.
George W. Bush, who lives in Dallas, did not attend any of Romney's half dozen Texas fundraisers. He also isn't expected to follow his family's migration to Romney's camp any time soon.
While largely unspoken, both sides acknowledge Republicans would be best served by not reminding voters of the Bush legacy of gaping budget deficits, two wars and record low approval ratings. His eight-year presidency has merited no more than a fleeting reference from Romney and his rivals in debates, campaign stops and interviews.
"For now we're just staying out of it," George W. Bush spokesman Freddy Ford said Thursday, declining to comment on a possible endorsement. Ford said Bush was focused on promoting and developing his presidential library at Southern Methodist University. "That's really where he's spending his time."
In 2010, Romney gave $100,000 to the younger Bush's presidential library, according to tax records. Romney's campaign also has benefited from Bush's top talent, including strategists Stu Stevens and Russell Schriefer, who worked on Bush's two presidential campaigns. Romney campaign manager Matt Rhoades was Bush's research director in 2004.
George W. Bush's virtual absence from the presidential contest seemed to surprise even his 87-year-old father as reporters visited the senior Bush's private office in Houston to watch him endorse Romney.
"Has he endorsed you?" George H.W. Bush quietly asked Romney as reporters started to leave the room.
"Uh, no, no," Romney replied before former first lady Barbara Bush cut in. "We'll talk about that," she said.
The 43rd president has kept his distance from national politics since leaving office in 2009 with a Gallup approval rating of just 34 percent. His predecessor, Democrat Bill Clinton, had a 66 percent approval rating in early 2001 when he stepped down after two terms marred by a sex scandal and impeachment.
A plurality of Americans continue to blame Bush for the nation's economic struggles: 43 percent of voters said he deserved a lot or almost all of the blame, compared with 36 percent who point to Republicans in Congress, 33 percent who think Democrats in Congress are responsible and 30 percent who credit President Barack Obama, according to a December Associated Press-GfK poll.
In a presidential contest dominated by concerns over the economy, government spending and federal debt, the Republican candidates have been loath to acknowledge the extent to which George W. Bush's policies contributed to those problems.
There is no question that Obama's policies, including the federal stimulus program and the auto industry bailout, have swollen the deficit and deepened the debt. And three years into his presidency, Obama often falls back on complaints about the bad situation he inherited when defending his own economic performance.
But while Obama may be overly eager to blame the Bush years for the nation's problems, GOP presidential contenders seem just as eager to pretend those years never happened.
"George W. Bush is still too fresh in the minds of voters," said Republican operative Michael Dennehy, a top staffer for Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential bid. "The Democrats' strategy is to try to pin the bad economy on him. ... It's smarter to just avoid being directly drawn into that line of attack right now."
Taking office in 2001 with a balanced federal budget and a surplus in the Treasury, Bush quickly pushed through sweeping tax cuts without nipping expenditures a corresponding amount. The tax cuts were to expire after 10 years, but Obama allowed them to remain temporarily in exchange for an extension of unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan launched after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks never were budgeted and have cost taxpayers more than $1.4 trillion. Obama ordered the last troops out of Iraq in December, but the Afghanistan conflict is set to continue through 2014.
Bush also signed legislation in 2003 enacting a prescription drug benefit as part of Medicare, the government health care plan for seniors. The benefit is projected to cost as much as $1.2 trillion over 10 years.
Another Bush-era package was the Troubled Asset Relief Program, the $700 billion bailout for the financial industry authorized by Congress in the fall of 2008 and loathed by many conservatives. Romney supported the bailout, as did then-presidential candidates Obama and McCain.

Play Online Poker Free ? Online Gaming
Though more and more people today have started taking part in poker gaming, very few are actually aware of what the actual basic details of the game are. The increasing popularity of online poker among the people has made the game of online poker one of the most often played Internet games in the world.
?
The number of online poker players has been on a constant rise during the past years and even today the number seems to grow on a fact-increasing rate. The rising number of players has led to a resultant increase in the number of online casinos that offer free online casino gaming. The worldwide poker gaming fraternity seems to experience a stage of boom. This is the best time to play online poker free .
?
The revenues of play online poker free gaming went on to rise from 82.7 million dollars that were recorded in the year 2001 to a whopping 2.4 billion dollars as recorded in the year 2005.
The advisors of
?
Christiansen Capital gave this information.
?
There are many factors, which can b quoted as the reasons responsible for this particular boom. The fact is that is a much better and convenient option that the convention, traditional game of poker is the major cause of the increase in interest in the play online poker free gaming.
?
The traditional poker rooms are sometimes located on such geographical locations that can not be easily reached by the common man or are either so expensive and luxurious that the common man cannot even think about entering the premises of such a place.
?
On the other hand, online gaming is open for all. You can come and play anytime you want to and that too, absolutely free of cost. The best part is that you can even play sitting in the comforts of your own house in your very own room itself. What more can a player desire.
?
Another fact is that the traditional poker rooms are not really much in favour of offering poker gaming as it does not benefit then or fetch the same amount of profits like the other games do.
?
In the case of online gaming, the aim is to provide a good gaming experience to the players rather than the conventional objective of profit maximization.
?
The time charge as charged by the traditional poker rooms are often very highly quoted. Such high rakes are far beyond the reach of a common man. This is just not it, The opportunity costs incurred with respect to a traditional poker room are in fact much higher than even the already very high rakes.
?
The traditional gaming rooms have devised a new way of profit maximization which is to remove all the poker rooms and in stead of them go on to add more and more slot machines which are ultimately likely to yield more profit than poker rooms do.
?
Online poker gaming is something that is of more appeal to the masses because of the considerably low costs that it carries. Most of them are mostly even free of cost. These comparative cheap costs are due to the fact that in this case, the overhead expenses are very low, in fact, negligible.
?
For instance, if there is a requirement of another poker table to be added there wont really be much requirement of monetary transactions as would have been the case of a traditional poker room of mortar and brick walls. The online gaming of poker allows you to even place low stakes and proceed with playing the game.
?
This proves as an added advantage. Online gaming also offer other interesting things such as free roll poker
tournaments that are of great interest among the online poker players. There is no entry free charged in such tournaments that attract more and more people to come and participate and try their luck at winning.
?
The clientele that is not that well to do and the players who are beginners in this field actively come forward and participate in these kind of tournaments. Such tournaments cash in a huge amount of Internet traffic.
?
There is less scope of any kind of fraud in online gaming as compared to traditional poker game rooms. Also, traditional rooms have a possibility of collisions and arguments among the players that is not possible in the case of online gaming rendering it as a very peaceful alternative.

Italy seizes $1.5 billion in Gadhafi family assets
ROME (AP) ? Italian tax police say they have seized ?1.1 billion ($1.5 billion) in assets from the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's family and associates, including shares in Italy's biggest bank.
The assets were frozen last year to comply with U.N. resolutions when Gadhafi's forces were attacking civilians in Libya.
The assets include a 1.256 percent share of Italian bank Unicredit, 1.5 percent of Juventus soccer team and 0.58 percent of energy giant Eni.
Tax police Ten. Col. Gavino Putzo told Sky TG24 television channel on Wednesday the assets also included a Rome apartment, land on the Sicilian island of Pantelleria and two motorcycles.
Italian authorities said officials in the Hague, where the International Criminal Court is investigating matters related to Libya, had requested the seizure.

HR Vendor News ? CORPORATE WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM ...
March 27, 2012 No comments | Back To Home
Dallas/Fort-Worth, TX (March 20, 2012) America?s greatest public health issue is obesity. In fact, around 68 percent of adults in the United States are overweight or obese and one third of adult Americans never engage in any physical activity. Obesity is a major contributor to health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, musculoskeletal disorders, hypertension, cancer and low self-esteem leading to depression. Working days lost to obesity are increasing every year. One study estimated that every severely obese worker costs the economy $1,627 per year as a result of absenteeism. In 2008, lost productivity and medical costs associated with overweight and obesity in U.S. adults totaled $147 billion. Now however, there?s a corporate benefit that could make a real difference to reducing obesity in the workplace.
Slimming World, Britain?s 40-year proven weight-loss program that?s more user-friendly and easier to follow than Weight Watchers is now available online in the USA. The program is based on a healthy eating plan called Food Optimising. Those following the plan lose weight by choosing from a long list of everyday healthy filling foods and recipes that are low in fat and taking small steps to increasing daily activity. An important part of the program is ensuring support to keep slimmers focused and motivated. There are no expensive extras and no faddy shakes or supplements.
Slimming World?s corporate benefit program has already been adopted throughout the DFW Metroplex in businesses large and small, including Medical Center of Lewisville, the City of Lewisville, Mary Kay, Inc. and Heritage Auctions. These model employers offer their employees an opportunity to sign up for individual Slimming World memberships to help manage their weight and improve personal health and fitness levels. One business that offers Slimming World online to employees has already noticed an improvement in staff health. ?Our goal was to give employees the knowledge and tools to make healthier food choices and positively influence their lives as well as families and friends. We?re excited about the difference our partnership with Slimming World is making in the lives of our employees and how it has begun to reduced our absenteeism rate,? said Mindy Howard, Director of Human Resources at Heritage Auctions, Inc. See success story of Heritage Auctions? participating employee Lisa Fox at http://youtu.be/dto_-GaWsls
Today?s workplace environment promotes sedentary lifestyles with many people working long hours seated in front of computers and employees taking more sick days due to weight-related illnesses. American businesses are offering Slimming World membership to employees as part of an overall benefits package intended to help reduce obesity by promoting a healthier lifestyle and enhancing wellbeing right in the workplace. This proven program has a real advantage for companies: Slimming World?s weight loss program can raise employee retention, increase productivity, reduce absenteeism, attract new employees and ultimately boost the bottom line.
?We often blame the overweight person for a lack of discipline or self-control or we suggest modifying food in the work environment like ditching ?donut day? and removing vending machines so temptation is out of the office, but these are not the answers to successful weight loss. It takes a supportive team approach, a satiating eating plan with no deprivation, and a convenient program that is easy to follow,? says Dr. James Stubbs, UK Slimming World Obesity Research Specialist. See an interview with Dr. Stubbs at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF-lDOBghLQ
Employees offered the opportunity to join Slimming World, simply log on from home or office to visit the Slimming Worldusa website with unlimited access to interactive tools that provide guidance, a food diary, inspiration and individual support based on personal progress with hundreds of searchable, easy-to-prepare recipes for meals and snacks. Members lose weight week by week without giving up foods they love. Emotional support and compassionate encouragement is an important component of Slimming World?s service, and the company truly sets its program apart from the competition with an understanding and caring attitude toward all members. In the workplace, Slimming World?s participating employees bond together and become friends, encouraging each other toward success.
The Slimming World online support team cheers them along the way or helps them with the tougher days on their journey to achieve weight loss goals. ?Our Slimming World corporate program makes weight loss both simple and satisfying where members achieve healthy goals at their own pace in total privacy. There?s no need to buy faddy ingredients or packaged foods. Food Optimising is based on normal everyday food that?s available at your neighborhood grocery store,? said Slimming World Business Development Manager Yvonne Sanders. And Slimming World?s unique physical activity program, Body Magic, is designed to help members become more active gradually, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
The proven program can even reach the whole family through employee participation and the convenient online program www.slimmingworldusa.com is accessible to anyone over 18 in an instant. Interactive tools, hundreds of inspirational features and hundreds of delicious recipes which are constantly updated make the program appealing and easy to follow at home or office via computer and smart phone.

V3 Secure Cloud
hnLab's antivirus and security suite products are quite popular in the company's native Korea. AhnLab is now pushing to grab some market share in the United States with the release of V3 Secure Cloud ($69.99/year for 5 licenses). Your subscription also includes five licenses to protect Android devices with V3 Mobile 2.0 (for Android). I'm not sure exactly what makes this suite popular in Korea, as the antivirus component is weak and several other components do nothing at all.
The suite installed quickly, though several infested test systems needed multiple tries to complete the mandatory initial update. I was surprised to find that the personal firewall component is disabled right out of the box. Digging into the settings, I found antiphishing, antispam, and email antivirus protection also disabled. I turned everything on; I hope every user will do the same.
Slow, Poor Malware Cleanup
Testing V3's malware cleanup took quite a while, as each scan required an hour. The average suite scans my standard clean test system in half that time. On finishing a scan, V3 lists what it found and offers to repair those threats. In several cases, it reported failure to complete the repair. An error message recommended against closing the results window without repairing all threats, but the product offered no recourse when repeated repair attempts failed.
During the scan process the real-time protection silently wiped out other threats, threats that didn't show up in the scan results list. To determine exactly what the product detected, I checked the log after each scan.
Overall, the results were dismal. V3 missed a number of samples and left behind executable traces for over half of those it did detect. Nearly half of those executable files remained running despite V3's alleged cleanup. Its 76 percent malware detection rate is the second from lowest among current products, and its overall score of 5.0 points is third from lowest. At the top we see Comodo Internet Security Pro 2012 ($4.99/year direct, 4 stars) with 97 percent detection and Norton 360 Version 6.0 ($79.99 direct for three licenses, 4.5 stars) with 7.4 points; Norton missed some threats that Comodo detected, but better cleanup earned it a higher overall score.
V3 faired especially poorly against rootkits. More than half of current products detect 100 percent of my rootkit samples; V3 only saw 86 percent. It left some rootkits running, some of them with their rootkit technology intact, earning a below-average score of 4.7 points for rootkit removal. Norton topped this test with 8.9 points.
Apparently my particular scareware samples are relatively easy to detect, as all but four suites detected them. V3 is one of those four. With 6.3 points for scareware removal, it's at the bottom of the heap. Norton aced this test, scoring a perfect 10. For an explanation of my testing methodology and scoring system, see How We Test Malware Removal.
