20% say their phone is the only device they'll use for researching gifts online this holiday shopping season
San Mateo, December 15, 2015 – 62% of US consumers will have researched Christmas gifts online by looking on Amazon this holiday shopping season, with 44% performing searches on Google according to a new study. Mobile phones are expected to play a big role, with around 67% of people planning to use their smartphones for researching gifts and 20% saying their phone will be the only device they use for the task.
The findings come from Searchmetrics, the leader in search and content performance, which polled 2,000 US adults¹ about how they will be researching seasonal gifts online this year.
The data suggests that social networks are an important place for holiday gift research, with around 27% of the survey sample saying they will be looking on Facebook for ideas this season. The same percentage of shoppers is also planning to use image sharing network, Pinterest, which revealed in November that it had accumulated 17.7 million holiday gift pins on its site. 16% of the consumers polled by Searchmetrics said they will be using Instagram to inspire gift ideas, while 12% mentioned Twitter.
"The way people look for seasonal gifts online is a big part of the multi-billion dollar product search market in which Google, Amazon, the main social networks, and major retail sites are fighting it out to be the go-to destination for consumers to research products before they buy," said Marcus Tober, CTO and founder of Searchmetrics. "Ahead of the 2012 holiday shopping season, Google overhauled its Google Shopping service to entice more consumers to use its search engine to research their holiday buys. This year, the search giant has taken the seasonal product search battle to the mobile platform by introducing new features just ahead of the shopping season that make it easier for shoppers to use Google Shopping to locate products using their phones."
Google Shopping's new mobile features are designed to streamline product search for phone users. As well as benefiting from a more user-friendly mobile phone interface, they can now more easily use Google Shopping to narrow down broad search queries to quickly identify what they are looking for and find out if products they see are available in nearby stores.
"Our survey of the way people research holiday gifts indicates how product search is now a complex process that involves search engines, social networks and sites such as Amazon and eBay. Retailers need to be visible in all these areas. And if they are not selling on Amazon or other online marketplaces, they have to keep tabs on competitor activity on these sites," said Tober.
With Google estimating that 30% of all online purchases now happen on mobile phones Tober was keen to emphasize the importance of mobile search for retailers:
"As well as having a presence on Google Shopping, retailers must ensure they have a strategy in place to ensure their product pages rank highly in organic search results displayed on phones. Our recent study of Google mobile ranking factors suggests you need to pay attention to a number user experience, technical and content elements to be successful in phone searches – and this is now key for anyone who sells or does business online."

We deveoped a Sage Evolution add-on module that automatically updates UDFs. Consider for example you would like to update 15 UDF (User Defined Fields) per customer (as seen below). If there were 200 customers with 15 UDF fields to be changed, it would mean (200x15 = 3000) individual error prone manual updates.
With our "Multi Record UDF Updater" application however, you specify the data just once and it would automatically update all the relevant records. It can be updated per group, rep, area, city, code prefix etc. The application is opened by clicking on the icon in Evolution.
This tool is especially useful when you have different kinds of information to display on reports, invoices, and/or statements. Below is an example of an input screen where you update the UDFs (just once) and then it consequently pushes through to all the respective individual records. If a new customer is added, or if a customer is changed (let's say the group is changed) the relevant information will automatically be updated.
For all your Sage Evolution development or integration needs, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Christmas comes early for Torbay Hospital's new CCU
Representatives of Torbay Hospital's League of Friends joined a giant unwrapping session in Torbay Hospital's new Critical Care Unit (CCU)as the first of the League-funded equipment arrived on site.
The League's hard-working volunteers, in their role as 'partners in care', successfully raised £1.6million to help fund the equipment in the new unit, which is due to open in February 2017. In the first giant box was a Drager Arm, a highly specialised piece of equipment that will be suspended above each bay in the CCU, connecting the essential equipment around the bedside of critical patients. The arm connects the piped gas, electrical monitoring equipment and syringe-drivers essential to the care of the CCU patient.
The League works closely with the hospital's medical professionals to focus their donations in areas that will enhance the care available to the people of Torbay and South Devon. The Drager Arm will benefit both patients and staff; for patients the overhead mounting means that beds, and all of their supporting equipment, can be moved around within the bay, so that they can look out to the world outside; a tremendous boost for patients that may be very weak and facing a long and challenging recovery. It also makes patient care easier for the staff who can quickly meet the patients' needs and move swiftly around the patient, unencumbered by complex floor-based equipment.
Intensive care consultant, and clinical lead for the CCU, Richard Walker, explains the benefit brought by the League's donation. 'The League has kindly purchased 14 Drager Arms and this is part of a long list of high-tech and practical equipment, all of which is focused on transforming good care into excellent care with the patient's wider well-being at its core.'
The League's 'shopping list' for the CCU also included 28 pumps, an ultrasound machine, 2 heamofiltration machines, 14 hi-tech beds including 4 bariatric beds, 14 ventilators, 14 patient monitors and a central monitoring system.
If you would like to become a volunteer helping in our coffee shop or guiding service, please contact June or Pat, volunteer organisers at the League of Friends office on level 2 opposite main reception.

IMAGERY – Lawn Bowling on a Friday Afternoon
Lawn Bowling in Santa Monica on a Friday Afternoon

IMAGERY – The Car Next Door
Sometimes my little dog sits in my lap when I drive. Yeah, I know it's not exactly an encouraged driving habit, but she knows if she stays very very still I'll allow her to rest her face on the sill of the car window and stare at people. Lately, other drivers have started staring back at her and every once in a while I'll hear baby talk coming from dog-loving drivers at stoplights (which of course she loves). Now I laugh and smile, but at first it felt awkward to me… as if there was some kind of social code being broken… like you aren't *supposed* to acknowledge that you're staring at other drivers while en route to wherever. With so much time spent in them, cars can be strangely personal, like an extension of someone's private home.
VECTOR PORTRAITS is a collection of images by Andrew Bush, all taken between 1989 and 1997, that explore this exact unspoken code: "Andrew Bush (b. 1956) examines this tension between private and public in his remarkable series of photographs of individuals driving cars in and around Los Angeles—a city famous for its car culture. By attaching a camera to the passenger side window, Bush made these pictures while driving alongside his subjects—often traveling at 60 mph. Taking notes on the speed and direction he was going, Bush created extended captions for the images and called the series Vector Portraits."
Besides the coffee table book, seems that some of the images may be available as prints if you like them.
JULY 4TH – Eating Doritos for My Country
Still no plans for July 4th? I'm with ya. So much to do, so many possibilities, yet I always just end up sitting in a backyard somewhere eating too many Doritos. While I'm definitely an America Lover, I'll be honest, the 4th isn't really my fave holiday so who am I to tell you what's best to do for it? I'd rather just open up your scope of possibility by giving a few links (see after the jump) to other people who will tell you where to haul your patriotic butt. Meanwhile, I'll just sit here and eat my Doritos. Fair enough? My only request is that you avoid going to see craggy ol' John Fogerty at the Hollywood Bowl, as he is my arch nemesis. Long story.
Okay kids, all together now… Ooooh! Aaaaaah! (more…)

SURPRISE! – Your Local Catfish Pond
Ever dream of going straight from work to your favorite local fishing hole to unwind… your loyal dog by your side? Unfortunately, although Andy and Opie Taylor's fishing hole is right around the corner, fishing isn't legal there. But if you feel like dropping your hook in the water tonight you can try skipping right down La Cienega to Kenneth Hahn Park. There's a small, fully-stocked man-made pond right there — fully planted with catfish just three weeks ago. The catch limit is five fish per person per day and leashed dogs are welcomed. Quien es mas macho than taking home some fresh dinner you caught yourself? CATFISH. YUM.
Here are some tips on how to catch them. See pretty photos of your local catfish pond after the jump!
If you prefer natural stream fishing, there are plenty of places for that as well… they're just a bit more of a drive.
Never been fishing before, but still dream of channeling Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It (sans near-drowning)? Doc's Ski Haus in Santa Monica offers up far more than snowboards, they also hold introductory classes designed for the beginner to intermediate fly fisherperson. No fly-fishing experience is necessary. The cost is $60 dollars and it includes two one-hour classes:
First class (Wednesdays 6:30pm): You'll learn knots that will last you a lifetime and the basics on flies;
Second class (Saturdays 9am): A casting lesson at Douglas park in Santa Monica.
As a promotion, Doc's issues a $30 dollar credit from your tuition to spend on new equipment for your fishing trips.

IMAGERY – Adventures in Stupid Signage
"Hey there, drivers on Fairfax! I'm a fancy sign the city paid for you to see! Yooo hooo! Look up here! I wanna tell you something… look up here! Come on… look up here! NOOOO! FOCUS ON THE ROAD, YOU IDIOT!!!! What is WRONG with you!? What the Hell were you looking up here for!? What are you trying to do, kill someone!?"
IMAGERY – Oil Spill Victim, 1971
"Oil spill victim Jody Harris, 19, of Van Nuys is pretty lady in distress as heavy oily substance is removed from her feet by lifeguard Jim Causey of Laguna Beach at Doheny State Beach."
Hard breaking disaster photos are always difficult to view. Ecology aside, it's disturbing that the original caption of this vintage image downplayed the senseless tragedy seen here by patronizingly referring to the victim as "pretty lady." Tsk tsk. This poor girl is clearly in pain and fighting for her life… and I, for one, thank God the heroic lifeguard with the pornstar 'stache was there to save the day and clean off her adorable little feet.
The UCLA Digital Collections portal contains tens of thousands of great images. Go check out the site and you'll be entertained for hours.
NATURE – Zoe Visits Coldwater Canyon Park
*Click on the thumbnail below to launch a photo gallery of Zoe's hike through Tree People's Coldwater Canyon*
Zoe Hiking Through Coldwater Canyon
My dog Zoe and I have been exploring the canyons lately. I hate to admit that despite living in L.A. for decades, up until now I've never really spent quality time venturing through the hills. Now that I've started, I can't seem to stop. When there's nature to discover just five minutes away, it's a shame to stay indoors… especially since exploring the hills is free (unless you get one of those infamous stop sign tickets). One thing for certain… people who lament the lack of wildlife and trees in Los Angeles haven't spent much time making effort to look for them. There are plenty, and close by.
So the other day I drove up to the TreePeople campus and Zoe and I went for a leisurely sunset walk. Certain parts of the trails were more populated than others, but for the most part it was very peaceful… I sat at a picnic table for a few minutes to listen to the birds, and within moments I spotted a family of deer just feet below me. FYI, one thing about Coldwater Canyon is that it can be whatever you want to be, a workout or a leisurely stroll. Also, you don't have to worry about getting lost unless you start blazing your own trail… the paths are easy to follow.
Other web sites have already spent quality time discussing what the Park has to offer, rating the trails, and exploring the wonderful good deeds of Andy Lipkis and the great folks at TreePeople (who maintain the park and are definitely unsung heroes of Los Angeles). No need reinventing the wheel, so I'm just going to share a photo gallery from our relaxing walk and hopefully inspire you to check out the canyons for yourself. And be sure to bring your pup… a tired dog is a good dog! :)

IMAGERY – Sister Aimee's Stained Glass
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnHNUIx-bks[/youtube] Up until a few days ago, I had never set foot in the Angelus Temple in Echo Park. Not being much for organized religion myself, this might not seem unusual… except that the temple is one of the more noteworthy parts of my family heritage. At 19, my Grandma Beulah preached at Pentacostal tent revivals alongside the woman who built the temple, Sister Aimee Semple McPherson, and often babysat Aimee's son Rolf who recently passed away. I've passed the huge structure so many times that getting out of my car and walking inside was a long overdue experience.
To say that Sister Aimee was one of the most influential and controversial women of the 20th Century in America is an understatement. Let me put it this way… her following was so large that she estimated the entire $1.2 million cost of the temple (we're talking 1924, people – think about it) was paid for with an average donation of TWO CENTS. I'll be writing more about her in the future… now that I have this site, I have a great excuse to make myself get off my rear and do some research. My dream is to go through their archives and find some incredible photo of my nutty Grandma as a young girl speaking in tongues or something, but that will take time. So for the moment I'll just share with you a photo I took of one of the temple's original stained glass window after the jump. Sister Aimee is the woman portrayed kneeling on the bottom left.

IMAGERY – Origins of Smog
Celebrated books have been penned to discuss how Los Angeles' problem with air quality first developed. Commonly, the blame has been put on the local munitions factories of World War II (one of which my grandma worked in, btw), but a photo of the *real* perpetrator has been discovered.
It's visible after the jump. (more…)

So I went about my day and was reading a very boring paper on curriculum writing (is there an interesting paper on curriculum writing?) with Linus on my lap when I got another call from them. They were half an hour away or so from the exit, so I headed out to meet them. We agreed to meet at Ruby Tuesday there in Huber. We had a very pleasant supper - it was nice catching up with them again. We wiled away an hour and a half or so while there, but then it was time for them to continue on their road trip. I wished 'em well and headed off to Target looking for something for work. (No luck there, but a second stop at Walmart on the way home was more successful.)
I hope their drive was a smooth one and that things go well for them on this trip. Thanks for the chance to meet up!

Mommy Alert: Remedies for Constipation in Children
A child having constipation is perhaps one stressful event. Children are not concerned about bowel movement (they would rather play with their toys), rather, it is the mommy's job to make sure he or she gets to defecate at least once a day. So mommy, how do you do the trick?
Soy milk is also highly recommended. However, make sure the child is at home since it acts like a laxative. So do not panic if your child complains of sudden abdominal pain, it can only mean that he or she has to be rushed to the comfort room and get some flushing.

Right Food to Sweep the Goo Away
A healthy bowel movement is the result of a healthy lifestyle. If we feed ourselves with garbage, our system can become too stuck up it will result to malfunction. Here are some important tips on food to avoid constipation and at the same time relieve it.
- If life gives you lemons... squeeze the lemons and pour the juice into warm water! Refrain from putting salt or sugar. Just bear with the taste. It will surely help your bowels move faster.
- While cooking, try your best to be creative and add cumin powder and asafetida. Some ingredients to add to your grocery list can be coriander and turmeric powder. These will help your foods become readily digestible.
- Let go of what makes you stop! Therefore, say goodbye to junkfood, fastfood, readily processed foods, and everything else artificial. You might also need to say goodbye to deep frying, preserved and dried fruits and vegetables, cauliflowers, cabbages, as well as dal and some other pulses. Not unless if you want gases and toxins building up in your body! Ditch products made from processed white flour. Avoid foods such as white rice, cheese, potatoes, and sugar, because these contain complex carbohydrates. The more starch, the harder to digest. So, simply stay out of it. You can do it! You have to, if you want a healthier body.
- Do not just mix your food. It might be necessary to eat one family at a time. To be specific, do not try eating cereals, vegetables, and pulses all at one sitting. You have three meals a day to spread them out on!

Gillis says Canucks will attempt to trade Luongo as NHL draft approaches
VANCOUVER - Now that new coach John Tortorella has been hired, Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis can try to complete a long-delayed project in conjunction with Sunday's NHL draft—trading goaltender Roberto Luongo.
"We're going to try and accomplish that goal," Gillis said this week. "We'll see what happens."
If other teams do not find the nine years remaining on Luongo's US$64-million contract onerous, his trade could help the Canucks acquire a veteran or some young talent in the form of prospects or draft picks. But Gillis will not be dealing from a position of strength.
Although Luongo's contract has a reasonable annual salary-cap hit of $5.3 million, clubs have to reduce their cap maximum to $64.3 million from about $70 million as part of the new collective bargaining agreement. The Canucks will also be missing a key bargaining chip if they want to move Luongo, who must agree to waive his no-trade clause.
"I think it's a strong draft," said Gillis. "I think there's opportunity, but we don't have a second-round pick, because we traded it at the trade deadline to try and get stronger for the playoffs. That's a practice that I don't like, and I haven't liked, and I'm not sure what we can do with that."
The Canucks sent their second-round pick to the Dallas Stars for centre Derek Roy and minor-league defenceman Kevin Connauton. Roy produced just one point in the playoffs as the Canucks were swept in the first round by the San Jose Sharks.
NHL clubs head into this year's draft with significant change looming when the 2013-14 season begins. In addition to salary-cap challenges, teams must deal with the implications of realignment and tougher battles for prime playoff positions.
Gillis expects the challenges and changes to spur trades.
"There's going to be a lot more moving parts now in the draft with compliance buyouts, a lower cap number, teams that are in a very narrow bend and want to improve—and want to improve immediately," he said. "There's a lot of different synergies going into this draft, I think, than in past years."
Under the new collective bargaining agreement that ended the NHL lockout, each team can buy out two players this season and next season to reduce salaries in compliance with the cap. Bought-out contracts do not count against the salary cap, but timing is becoming critical. The current buyout window closes July 4, a day before free agency opens.
But a buyout is not necessarily the best option for Luongo, because the Canucks would get nothing for an elite goaltender who should still be in demand, although perhaps less than in the past. Also, the Canucks have two other prime buyout candidates—high-priced defenceman Keith Ballard ($4.2 million annually) and winger David Booth ($4.25 million.)
The Canucks have the 24th overall pick in the first round and are slated to pick 85th, 115th, 145th, 175th and 205th in the third through seventh rounds. Gillis could be seeking to parlay some picks into immediate help as he and Tortorella believe that the club is close to contending for the Stanley Cup again after reaching the finals in 2010-11.
But the Canucks have a shortage of young NHL players who are usually in demand at this time of year as struggling teams attempt to rebuild and contenders try to obtain talent necessary for a Cup run. And, due to previous drafts that have not paid off, the Canucks have a shortage of minor-leaguers who are NHL-ready and would appeal to other clubs.
Gillis said the Canucks will continue their practice of drafting "the best player that fits the profile that we like."
That means they will not necessarily base their top pick on a specific positional need. Until recently, the need to acquire another goaltender, in case of Luongo's departure, was one of Vancouver's most pressing concerns. But Gillis signed former Swedish Elite League netminder Joacim Eriksson, potentially allowing for fellow Swede Eddie Lack to be promoted from the minors and serve as Cory Schneider's backup.
With Roy expected to move and Max Lapierre slated to become an unrestricted free agent next week, the Canucks could use more centres.
When it comes to dealing veterans to package with or without Luongo, Gillis is in a position of some strength. With the exceptions of Henrik and Daniel Sedin, who are entering their option years and hope to re-sign this summer, most of Vancouver's core players are under contract for at least three years.
So other teams would have some financial certainty while acquiring proven NHLers. However, all of Vancouver's core players have no-trade clauses that must be waived before a deal could occur.
Whether he is traded or bought out, Luongo expects to leave the Canucks. After Vancouver was eliminated by the Sharks, he said he does not think the club will keep both him and Schneider for another season.
Doing so would result in a $9.3-million salary-cap hit.
Note: Tortorella will not sit at the Canucks table during the draft. Coaches, he said, just get in the way of scouts while they are extremely busy.

Nearly 150 to 200 women are killed every year in India after being tagged as 'witches', a Dehra Dun based non-governmental organisation has said, citing National Crime Bureau's statistics.
Jharkhand tops the list with 50-60 witchcraft-related murders every year followed by Andhra Pradesh, where the number is approximately 30, Haryana recorded 25-30 cases and Orissa 24-28 such murders, Rural Litigation and Entitlement Kendra Chairman Avdhash Kaushal claimed.
Jharkhand is not the only state where women are facing barbaric attacks in the name of witchcraft. Such incidents are common in Orissa, Chattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana, Kaushal said.
In the last 15 years, more than 2,500 women were killed after being accused of practicing witchcraft, according to a study conducted by RLEK.
Five women were stripped and paraded naked last year in Patharghatia village in Deodhar district of Jharkhand. In yet another incident, a 40-year old woman was lynched allegedly by her women neighbours at Sikariatand village in Simdega district of the same state, Kushal claimed.
"It is very sad that women are still being killed rampantly after being declared witches. Majority of these incidents are not reported in the media," Kaushal said.
He said in order to overcome the menace a national legislation was needed.
"We will soon file a writ petition in the court of law to seek a remedy in the form of a new legislation from the Parliament on the issue," he said.

The parish middle school and high school youth came together on May 15th as part of their "Everyday Topics" series. The focus was on music, especially looking at how music expresses the emotion, faith, spirit, and beauty and sadness of everyday life.
Jim Wahl, parish Coordinator of Music and Liturgy, and Trevor Thompson, Director of Pastoral Ministries, helped organize the evening, offering some opening praise music, prayers, and words of introduction to the topic.
We were honored to have award-winning musician David LaMotte, veteran of 10 CDs and 2000 concerts in 47 states and on four continents, lead this discussion on music. David performed three of his original songs (see videos of two of those songs below). LaMotte also works for the NC Council of Churches as their Program Associate for Peace and is the founder and director of PEG Parterns, a non-profit that supports schools and libraries in Guatemala. With words of reflection between each song, David engaged the youth on the power of music to express our emotions and spirits, the way images and metaphors trigger on our imaginations, and the way music can affect different people in different ways. David also offered a glimpse into the way the music industry works, especially the politics of "Christian music." He encouraged the youth to seek out music that speaks to their soul and to be open to music that often doesn't get airplay on the radio.
Operations Coordinator of the Wild Goose Festival – Jacob Kuntz – was also on hand to share some words about this awesome festival coming to our area (Chatham County) in June. This festival is attempting to bring together many musicians, storytellers, and speakers to engage in a celebration of spirituality, the arts, and social justice. David LaMotte will be one of the performers at the Wild Goose Festival.

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd will launch a Chinese version of King Digital Entertainment Plc's explosively popular "Candy Crush Saga" game in China, as the UK-based mobile games maker looks to woo new users to support flagging sales in the United States and Europe.
The web-based game, which involves lining up colorful candies, will roll out through Tencent's Mobile QQ and Weixin platforms. Weixin, or WeChat, had 225 million active users in January, according to Beijing-based consultancy iResearch.
"Tencent has the largest mobile social network in China," King Digital Chief Executive Riccardo Zacconi said in a statement, adding that he hoped the tie-up would make Candy Crush "as popular in China as in the rest of the world".
Candy Crush, which brought in about $493 million in the last three months of 2013 alone, has topped sales charts around the world and was one of the most downloaded apps in 2013, according to King Digital's IPO registration filing this year.
The tie-up will also help Tencent, China's biggest listed Internet company, attract users to its wide array of online and mobile offerings, ranging from social media platforms to online finance.
Tencent is locked in a fierce battle for online supremacy in China with IPO-bound rival Alibaba Group Holding.
Tencent has also been making forays into the online game market, snapping up a stake of 28 percent in South Korean mobile gaming firm CJ Games for $500 million in March.
Candy Crush, a free game that makes money by selling virtual items to gamers, has suffered a fall from grace. Its gross bookings have started to dwindle, significant because it accounts for close to 80 percent of King Digital's total.
Shares in King Digital fell as much as 16 percent when they debuted in late March, underscoring investor concern about the company's reliance on the game and wider skepticism over a notoriously fickle and volatile market.
The New York listing was the largest U.S. tech initial public offering since gaming company Zynga Inc went public in 2011.
But with around 93 million daily average users last year, the game could help lure China's more than 500 million mobile internet users to Tencent's platforms. Tencent is more than one-third owned by South African publishers Naspers Ltd.
The collaboration "will combine King's enjoyable mobile gaming experience and Tencent's strong game publishing and operation capabilities in China," Tencent Senior Vice President Steven Ma said in the statement.
"We are looking forward to bringing great moments of fun to Chinese users soon."

Juventus agree to sign Wolfsburg's Barzagli
MILAN (Reuters) -- Juventus agreed to bring former Italy defender Andrea Barzagli back to Serie A on Wednesday following a three-year stint at VfL Wolfsburg.
Juve said in a statement the 29-year-old was in Turin to complete his medical and sign an as yet unspecified contract.
The former Palermo player, part of Italy's 2006 World Cup-winning squad, will provide backup for Azzurri centre half pairing Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci at Juve.
His arrival suggests Nicola Legrottaglie may be allowed to leave with Brescia and Cesena interested in the veteran defender.
Sixth-placed Juve's injury problems mean they are also looking for a striker but long-term target Giampaolo Pazzini of Sampdoria is now being linked in the media with Inter Milan.

Swiss MPs call on FIFA to exercise "Fair Play" and exclude Israeli settlement clubs
The Swiss newspapers "Tribune de Geneve" and "Blick" reveal that some thirty members of the Swiss parliament have called on FIFA to exclude the Israeli settlement clubs that play without permission from Palestinians.
Their letter to FIFA emphasises the need for "Fair Play" MP Cedric Wermuth adds "Especially from the Swiss Infantino, we expect this without any ifs or buts."
Blick reports Federal Foreign Minister Didier Burkhalter ithat "Switzerland believes that the Israeli settlements violate international humanitarian law"
The full articles are at:
http://www.tdg.ch/suisse/fifa-priee-exclure-6-equipes-israeliennes/story/20070646 (in French)
http://www.blick.ch/news/politik/fifa-soll-siedler-klubs-von-der-meisterschaft-ausschliessen-schweizer-politiker-werfen-israel-foul-vor-id6431064.html (in German)
The Tribune's translated text is:
"The International Federation of Football (FIFA) regularly figures in debates in the Federal Parliament. But most of the time, for tax purposes. This time, FIFA has just been attacked on another ground: that of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Indeed, about thirty parliamentarians demand that FIFA exclude six teams from the Occupied Territories from the Israeli championship, as reported by Blick on Monday.
The letter, sent to the head of FIFA, the Swiss Gianni Infantino, was signed by parliamentarians of almost all sides. Thus, there are mainly representatives of the Left, such as Socialist National Councilor Cedric Wermuth, but also from the bourgeois camp, such as PLR Christa Markwalder or PDC Barbara Schmid-Federer.
Their arguments? In the FIFA Statutes, it is specified that no club is allowed to play in the territory of another federation without the consent of the federation. In this case, the Palestinian Football Federation. FIFA must therefore respect international law and exclude these clubs located in the west of the West Bank since they are not recognized on the Palestinian side, say Swiss politicians.
European Pressure too
This pressure, however, comes not only from Swiss parliamentarians. More than 60 representatives of the European Parliament have also demanded that all clubs from the occupied territories be excluded from competitions organized by FIFA or the Israeli Football Federation.
However, voices in Switzerland are rising against this position. The Swiss UDC Erich Siebenthal, who is chairman of the Swiss-Israel parliamentary group, believes that it is not up to children and young people to pay the price for an anti-Israel policy that many states favor. It is "repugnant", he criticizes, that Swiss politicians are trying to "put pressure on Israel through sport".

Sony has claimed that its upcoming motion technology PlayStation Move is precise enough to play StarCraft.
Speaking at the Game Developers Conference, Sony's Anton Mikhailov said that the device was optimised for use with the real-time strategy game after some "hackery".
"We're excited about genres that have been typically detached from console, like RTS," he said. "All those genres require precise pointer control. This is something we have now on the PS3.
"Actually I hooked up this device through some hackery to a PC to play a bunch of games. I actually played StarCraft... I could actually play, not just screw around but play."
He continued: "It's a testament to how robust this interface is for even the more hardcore game. It's so intuitive that some developers have hooked this up to Maya for modelling, and they actually prefer it over a mouse.
"You can have camera control in one hand and object control with another hand. You can do some really neat interface stuff."
StarCraft II is slated for release during the first half of 2010. Move is due in the autumn.

TRENTON, Ga. — Authorities say a 70-year-old woman who was hit by a school bus in Georgia remains in critical condition.
Trenton Police Chief Christy Smith told news outlets that Linda Diane Hulgan was hit by a bus on its way to pick up students from Dade Middle School on Tuesday afternoon. She says Dulgan was removed from life support Wednesday, but remains in an intensive care unit.
Smith says the Georgia State Patrol is trying to figure out if the crosswalk had signaled Hulgan to walk.
Dade County Superintendent Jan Harris says the bus was not damaged and has been cleared to get back on the road.
Police aren't sure if the bus driver will face charges.
No students were aboard the bus at the time of the crash.

Melissa A. Broeckelman-Post, PhD
Assistant Professor, Department of Communication Studies
Basic Course Coordinator and TA Supervisor
Melissa Broeckelman-Post (Ph.D. Communication Studies, Ohio University, 2009) is an Assistant Professor and serves as the Basic Course Coordinator and TA Supervisor in the Department of Communication Studies. In the past, she has taught courses in instructional communication, communication theory, research methods, relational communication, applied writing, public speaking, interviewing, persuasion, and meeting and conference planning. Most of Dr. Broeckelman-Post's scholarship fits within the realm of instructional communication and rests at the intersection of interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and communication theory. She is interested in the ways that interpersonal relationships within educational organizations (e.g. student-teacher, student- student, teacher-teacher, teacher-administrator, etc.) impact the teaching and learning process, as well as ways in which the organizational structures, priorities, and resource-distribution both enable and constrain the teaching and learning process. Moreover, as a scholar who has been deeply influenced by dialogism, pragmatism, and critical theory, she is interested in the discourses within and about education, as well as the broader consequences (positive or negative) that accrue when such discourses merge with practice. Across projects, whether related to education or other types of relationships and organizations, Dr. Broeckelman-Post tends toward applied research that necessarily maintains a dialectical relationship between theory and practice, and most of her research is conducted using multi-method longitudinal designs.

He felt a tightness, heard a snap, then came
into a realm of fountains, whose bright flare
lighter than water, heavier than air,
made wisdom knowledge. And he learned the Name
that compels spirits, though it's often best
to ask them nicely. Power is a drug
will turn a recluse scholar to a thug,
so know your limits. He knew he was blessed
with perfect wisdom and infinite sight
and need not stir, and all the while a rush
of knowledge flooded him, one perfect gush
of incantations, glamors, spells of light
infinite love, eternities of hope.
His daughter found him hanging from the rope.

Roofing & Construction Background
I stumbled into the construction business back in 1995…
In the early 90's, my full-time job fresh out of college was telemarketing.
I also worked part-time as the church youth director and business administrator. While looking for creative low-cost ways to advertise for the church, I discovered internet marketing.
Working at the church was very satisfying and telemarketing helped pay the bills, but my wife and I were barely making ends meet. We were praying for an opportunity to make more money.
Little did I know how big search engine marketing would become in the coming decades.
I'll tell you more about that in a minute…
It was shortly after the big MayFest hail storm of 1995 that a friend from church invited me to come sell new roofs for his construction company. That was an answer to prayer.
The hail from that storm was so big, so fast and so strong that it broke out windows all across Fort Worth, the hail ripped gutters and siding off houses, knocked big holes in roofs and destroyed wood fences. That hail storm was destructive, but it brought in a lot of work.
I found myself in the right place at the right time to learn the construction business. That was a long time ago!
Back to internet marketing…
Unfortunately, the web wasn't big enough back in the early 90's to only target the people who lived close to the church; there just weren't enough people online.
However, I did figure out how to use internet marketing to get more construction business by expanding my reach to the entire DFW Metroplex. As the internet exploded in growth, so did our customer base.
I've been blessed to work with some of the best customers and most beautiful homes in North Texas since 1995.
