'Avengers' Becomes Third-Highest-Grossing Movie Ever

Superhero flick trails behind two James Cameron blockbusters in the first and second all-time-gross spots.

Watch out James Cameron because "The Avengers" is coming for you next.

Marvel's all-star team of superheroes has officially become the number-three highest-grossing movie of all time in the United States as well as worldwide, besting "The Dark Knight" and "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" for the honor. As of June 1, the movie made $538 million domestically and $1.3 billion worldwide, placing it behind only Cameron's "Titanic" and "Avatar."

That's not the only number-three spot "The Avengers" is in. "Snow White and the Huntsman" has debuted with a strong $20 million Friday gross in its debut weekend, knocking "Men in Black 3" from its top spot last weekend. "MIB3" came in second on Friday with an $8.3 million intake, while "The Avengers" rounded out the top three with $5.7 million. In all likelihood, that ranking will be indicative of the rest of the weekend as well.

Considering "The Avengers" has been in theaters for a month, that's some pretty strong continued momentum. We'll attribute some of it to fans wanting to support their favorite Avengers going into the 2012 MTV Movie Awards weekend. Captain America and Thor are facing off against each other in the Best Hero category, but they've got some stiff competition in the form of Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen and "21 Jump Street's" Jenko.

There's a pretty slim chance that "The Avengers" will end up climbing any higher on the all-time box-office charts. In the U.S., it would have to top $659 million to oust Cameron's "Titanic" and cross $761 to beat "Avatar." And it seems even less likely that it will pass either of those movies worldwide, as it would have to more than double its international grosses. Still, not too shabby for Marvel's group of superheroes.

Check out everything we've got on "Marvel's The Avengers."

U.S. economy added 69K jobs in May, fewest in a year

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. economy suddenly looks a lot weaker.

U.S. employers created only 69,000 jobs in May, the fewest in a year, and the unemployment rate ticked up.

The dismal jobs data will fan fears that the economy is sputtering. It could also damage President Barack Obama's re-election prospects. And it could lead the Federal Reserve to take further steps to help the economy.

The Labor Department also said Friday that the economy created far fewer jobs in the previous two months than first thought. It revised those figures down to show 49,000 fewer jobs created. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent from 8.1 percent in April, the first increase in 11 months.

Dow Jones industrial average futures, which were already down 100 points before the report, fell an additional 100 points within minutes of its release.

The yield on the benchmark on the 10-year Treasury note plunged to 1.46 percent, the lowest on record, suggesting investors are flocking to the safety of U.S. government bonds.

The price of gold, which was trading at about $1,550 an ounce before the report, shot up $30. For much of the past three years, investors have seen gold as a safe place to put their money during turbulent economic times.

Josh Feinman, global chief economist with DB Advisors, said the report raises the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will do more ? perhaps start another round of bond purchases to further lower long-term interest rates.

Still, he noted that the rate on 10-year Treasury notes is already at a record low 1.46 percent.

"How much lower can long-term rates go?" Feinman said.

The economy is averaging just 73,000 jobs per month over the past two months ? roughly a third of 226,000 jobs created per month in the January-March quarter.

Mitt Romney, Obama's Republican challenger, has made the economy the central theme of his campaign. No president since the Great Depression has sought re-election with unemployment as high as 8.2 percent, and past incumbents have lost when the unemployment rate was on the rise.

Republicans wasted little time seizing on the bleak report.

"Today's extremely troubling jobs report proves yet again that President Obama's policies simply are not working and that he has failed to live up to the promise of his presidency," said Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

There are signs business confidence is waning. Companies have cut their spending on computers and machinery for two straight months, goods that signal investment plans. And some regional surveys suggest the factory activity is expanding at a slower pace.

Consumers are also more downbeat about the economy, according to a May survey from the Conference Board. That could lead more Americans to cut back on spending, which drives 70 percent of economic growth.

Construction firms cut 28,000 jobs, the steepest drop in two years. Professional services, government, hotels, restaurants and other leisure industries also lost jobs.

Not all industries cut jobs. Manufacturers added 12,000 jobs. Transportation and warehousing created nearly 36,000. Education and health care added

Businesses are facing a growing threat from Europe's financial crisis, which has worsened in recent weeks. The crisis is driving up borrowing costs for Spain and Italy and spreading to the banking system. Greece could be forced to exit the euro, which could push the region into a sharp recession. That could limit U.S. growth.

Caring for your pine furniture | Low Cost Home Improvements

The best way of ensuring that pine furniture remains in great condition is to give it the right care and attention. Depending on the kind of furniture you have in your home, you could use waxes or varnishes, or may want to use glass toppers to ensure that pieces of furniture do not become marked or dented by ornaments and accessories.

While pine is durable and an ideal choice for a busy family home it is also a naturally soft wood. This means that homeowners should avoid placing heavy items on top of pine and should also ensure that they do not place hot mugs of liquid or plates of food directly on the wood.

Pine furniture should not be placed directly in front of a radiator or heater, as this could cause the wood to warp, and it might also be wise to avoid putting pieces next to windows which catch a lot of sun.

A common mistake that many pine furniture owners make is using commercial polishes from cleaning product brands. Generally speaking, these sprays are only designed to smell good and can actually be harmful to pine.

Most pine furniture simply needs light dusting with a soft cloth, and sticky marks can easily be removed with warm water containing a little soap.

If you want to give your pine furniture an extra layer of care and an attractive finish you could consider using block wax. Make sure you go for unperfumed options, to ensure no harmful chemicals get onto your furniture, and apply to pine surfaces every few months.

You could also use the wax on the inside of drawers or other areas which are not on view, but you only need to do this once every year or so.

Something which you might notice about your pine furniture is that it changes colour over time, but this is nothing to worry about. Depending on how much sunlight your pine gets, and a range of other factors, it will mellow into a darker shade over a period of a few years.

If you are looking for new furniture for your home and want pieces which are durable, attractive to look at and competitively priced, pine is a fantastic choice.
