Jordan Ratliffe rushed for 126 yards, including a momentum-changing 56-yard run, during UW-Whitewater's 17-14 victory over UW-Oshkosh on Saturday (Oct. 26) at J. J. Keller Field at Titan Stadium.
The Warhawks (7-0/4-0 WIAC) are ranked fifth in the NCAA Division III, while the Titans (6-1/3-1 WIAC) are ninth. UW-Oshkosh had its 18-game regular-season win streak snapped, along with its home streak of 10.
After the third quarter, the Titans held a 14-10 advantage. Ratliffe then broke free for a 56-yard run into the red zone. Booker Ross carried on the next play and scampered 18 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 11 minutes left.
UW-Oshkosh had three more possessions to try and come back. The first opportunity resulted in a three-and-out. On their next drive, the Titans ran a fake punt that came up just short of the first down. Kyle Wismer then intercepted Nick Olla with 1:20 remaining to clinch the contest.
Against the nation's #3 defense, the Titans totaled 344 yards, but only 69 in the second half. UW-Oshkosh possessed the ball for just 16 of the final 45 minutes.
The first five drives of the game came up empty. Matt Behrendt then went deep to Jake Kumerow for 55 yards. Eric Kindler followed with a 36-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead.
Early in the second quarter, Cory Wipperfurth burned the defense with a 46-yard reception inside the 10-yard line. Olla then floated a six-yard pass into the corner of the end zone, where Zach Kasuboski made a diving grab. The touchdown put the Titans up, 7-3, with 11:05 on the clock.
UW-Whitewater responded on the next series with a nine-play, 66-yard drive. Ross ran for a gain of 18 and Joe Worth for 16. Facing third down, Worth hauled in a five-yard pass at the goal line to put the Warhawks ahead, 10-7.
The offenses stayed hot, with Myhra running for 12 yards on the Titans' next snap. Joe Sommers picked up 23 yards with a catch-and-run over the middle. UW-Oshkosh then took the lead with Olla's perfectly thrown 44-yard rainbow to Kasuboski for a touchdown. Cody Huemmer notched two sacks late in the period, sending the Titans to halftime with a 14-10 cushion.
The Warhawks drove inside the 30-yard line during the third quarter, but UW-Oshkosh used sacks from Dexter Charles and Alex Smith to prevent a score.
UW-Oshkosh could not sustain a drive in the second half. Olla was picked off by Ryan Winske in the third quarter for the first interception in his last 127 attempts.
Myhra finished with 78 yards on 13 carries, becoming the second-leading rusher in program history (2,759 yards). He also caught five passes for 32 yards. Kasuboski totaled 66 yards on four receptions, while Olla booked 207 yards on 17-of-29 passes.
Behrendt went 22-of-40 for 236 yards, extending his streak to 225 throws without an interception. Kumerow compiled game-highs of nine catches and 135 yards. The Warhawks' ground game featured 126 yards on 21 attempts by Ratliffe and 58 yards on 12 carries from Ross.
The defensive standout of the game was Huemmer, who recorded 10 tackles (three for loss) and two sacks. Ryan Stefaniak added eight solo stops for the Titans, while the Warhawks were led by eight tackles from Marcus McLin.
UW-Whitewater held a 417-344 edge in total yards, as the Warhawks converted 6-of-18 third downs. The Titans were successful on 4-of-15 third downs. Each team committed just one penalty.
UW-Oshkosh has a home contest against UW-Stevens Point (4-3/2-2 WIAC) next week.

"The Appearance of Strange Visitors" (珍客見参 碧の野獣?猛獣?…珍獣?, Sankyaku Kenzan Ao no Yajū? Mōjū?… Sanjū?) is episode 161 of the original Naruto anime.
Desperate to get as strong as he could before Jiraiya returned, Naruto sought out Might Guy and Rock Lee in hopes they would train him in taijutsu. Guy and Lee have left the village on a mission; meanwhile, Mondai and Potcha infiltrate the village to gather its secrets by disguising themselves as Guy and Lee. Despite their terrible disguises, Naruto fell for it and began following them all day. The rest of the village, however, easily saw through the impostors and decided to make them miserable by having "Guy" and "Lee" do all kind of horrific chores. While the two were miserable from doing so, Naruto cheerfully viewed this as another training session. After the impostors finally gave up and left the village, Naruto found the real Guy and Lee to thank them for the assistance in training, to which Guy and Lee had no idea what he was talking about.
- Suzumebachi, Sanshō, Sasame, Inari, Tsunami, and a well hidden younger Sasuke Uchiha all made a cameo in this episode.

When the iPhone 4S first debuted, its big sell was Siri. The assistant app was supposed to be the first realization of AI technology, the best way to utilize what the smartphone could do. Of course we soon learned that all the celebrity endorsements in the world couldn't make Siri what it wasn't, and it's been an often-mocked, largely disappointing feature.
It's due for an upgrade, which we'll likely see in the iPhone 5, but until then there's something of a gap space in the market for developers to exploit. Cue a Google reactionary product! Debuted at Google I/O, Google Now looked to be a step up from the Siri experience, with a deeper integration into how you use your smartphone and tighter predictive abilities.
But it's not here yet, and it's certainly not going to be native for any iPhones in the near future. So again, hello market gap. It's a gap that the team behind Saga noticed. "Scout's honor, hand to god, we did not know Google Now was in development but when we heard from our guy at I/O about the announcement, we were super thrilled," CEO Andy Hickl tells me. "We were really excited because it made our job making people understand this space so much easier."
In a quick demo of Saga (which launches today and is free for iPhone), Hickl showed off how the phone, much like Google Now, reads what you're using your phone to do and then makes predictions about what you might want to know and keeps a dynamic log of your history. Hickl describes it as a heads-up display for life: it's a behind-the-scenes way to use your data, location, and habits to figure out what type of help you might need.
Under the hood, Saga uses your GPS information via nearby Wi-Fi hotspots, the phone's accelerometers, and puts that into its backend machine to make data observations that it then packages nicely and displays to you. It doesn't rely on check-ins or need frequent location updates you manually log; Hickl insists it gets down the minutiae of your movement, which is something that should interest Quantified Self enthusiasts who like the ability to track their every human moment.
To that end, Saga launches with a few key platform integrations. The app will work with Runkeeper, Fitbit, and Withings integration, and Nike+ is on the horizon.
Of course you can't talk about a location-based app without talking about battery drain – the great bane of location aware apps. Luckily for us and developers, this is getting better faster and faster, and Hickl says that you can use Saga for 30 hours on one overnight charge. The launch was actually delayed because the team wanted to get battery drain down ahead of the debut.
In addition to battery life, there's also many questions about data brokerage here. "If you tell us to nuke your data, to forget everything that Saga ever knew about you, we will do it," Hickly says. "We want people to use this with a sense of safety. We will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever sell this information to a third party." I'm happy to say that's a verbatim quote.
With that in mind, I had to ask him about a small ad I saw during the demo. In a log of his daily activity and location history, I saw a Groupon ad for a restaurant and asked if Saga would be using hyperlocal display ads as a revenue means. "We're not getting affiliate money for this, and we're probably, honestly, going to take them out," he tells me. He says Saga was testing displaying relevant, local ads but that this leads to questions… like the one I had to ask. "We're an honest broker, so we don't want people to wonder why we're showing them that. We don't want you to question your sidekick."

RE: the rotating 'bonus' (flame-highlighted dungeon which offers 3X price for the boss trophy).
In my opinion, once a player has reached "103%" completion on a given dungeon, that dungeon should be taken out of the rotation. The 3X incentive should not, in my opinion, encourage the player to return to a dungeon that they've already conquered.

Dec 16, 2013
BOSTON, Mass. – For the second week in a row, MIT sophomore Sabrina Drammis (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) was recognized by the NEWMAC as she was selected for Women's Basketball Co-Player of the Week honors. In the Engineers' only game of the week, she generated a team-high 17 points and 10 rebounds in a 53-50 win over Framingham State University last Tuesday.
Drammis shot 42.1 percent from the floor while six of her 10 rebounds came on the offensive end. In addition, she accounted for four of MIT's eight second-chance points.
The Engineers return to action on Sunday, Dec. 29 when they host Endicott College.

Author Dumps Publisher At Book Launch Party
from the cold dept
As with record labels, I've always thought that there are a variety of factors at play here, and for some authors, it can absolutely make sense to sign a publishing deal -- though I would be very careful to understand what's in the deal. For example, I've noted that for an author that isn't that well known, it's possible that doing a deal with a publisher can help with the marketing and getting the book in the right hands. Of course, some recent authors have pushed back on this, noting that publishers often expect authors to do much of their own marketing anyway... and that the marketing that they do contribute often is a total waste.
Indeed, it appears that some more authors are agreeing with that. Novelist Polly Courtney, who had successfully self-published a couple of books a few years back, leveraged that success into a three book contract with HarperCollins. However, now she's made the news because at the launch party for the third book... she announced that she's dropping HarperCollins and going back to self-publishing. Part of the problem? The "marketing" that HarperCollins provided. In her mind, they tried to pigeonhole her book in a category where it didn't belong.
"My writing has been shoehorned into a place that's not right for it," she said this morning. "It is commercial fiction, it is not literary, but the real issue I have is that it has been completely defined as women's fiction … Yes it is page turning, no it's not War and Peace. But it shouldn't be portrayed as chick lit."Apparently, the issue of the covers has been going on for all three books, so she's dropping HarperCollins at the first opportunity -- and doing so in quite a public manner. The final straw was apparently the positioning on this final book.
"I'm not averse to the term chick lit," said Courtney, "but I don't think that's what my book is. The implication with chick lit is that it's about a girl wanting to meet the man of her dreams. [My books] are about social issues – this time about a woman in a lads' mag environment and the impact of media on society, and feminism."
The jacket, which displays the chick-lit staple of a pair of slender legs, misrepresents the novel, Courtney believes. "The titles and covers have been a problem with all three of my HarperCollins books, right from the start," she said. "If I had my time again I certainly wouldn't have signed with them. There's a feeling that any author should be grateful for any attention they can get from any publisher – that they should take what they can get. But I don't think they should have looked to sign me on the basis of what I'd written so far."What this highlights is that some of the benefit of a big publisher might also be its biggest weakness. And that's scale. Book publishers can do scale well, but in order to handle scale, they try to run things through the same formula. You classify and then you follow the playbook. But that keeps you away from doing anything really creative, and creates problems when a book doesn't necessarily fall into a pre-defined area. I think if publishers are really going to serve authors usefully going forward, they're going to have to become a lot more flexible, and a lot less about marketing-by-the-numbers.
Her decision to publicly ditch her publisher was the result of "three years of pent–up frustration", she said. "People are looking at my books and saying 'you've turned chick lit'," she said. "The irony is that what's inside the books hasn't changed. To give Avon their due, in terms of the editorial process they didn't try to change what's inside into something different. It's the packaging. From the reader's perspective, they'll see it on the shelf and think this is chick lit, and it's not."

TRIED AND TESTED | Super serums reviewed
THIS HAS been a long post in the making.
It's not easy (I know, smallest violin in the world...) trialing all these serums. Each takes several weeks, it's near impossible to control for all the other variables in life and sometimes it's hard to tell whether any change in your complexion is down to the jam-packed active ingredients in your products or, say, a monthly shift in hormones, lack of sleep, new exercise routine, drinking too much... whatever. It, just like your products, all affects the skin.
Since October, we've been trialing all of the products below. There are a few amazing products we'll use forever, some that didn't quite make the cut (or visible difference) on the lightly lined, still acneic, sometimes oily but perennially dry skin of a 30 year-old prone to rosacea during the winter. (Meaning, they might work for you but if you fit that narrow description, they probably won't).
Some are nice-to-have but not need-to-have and we know there are thousands of other serums out there that many of you swear by, have forever sworn off or are entirely indifferent towards.
We might get to those someday but for now, here's what we have to say about...
I've seen with my own eyes the raw ingredients that go into this mixture.
More natural than, say, Megan Fox... by a looooong shot (99.86% natural).
In fact, its ingredient list is downright hippie-tastic (Water, glycerin, alcohol denat., royal jelly, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, glucose, xanthan gum, phenoxyethanol, sodium chloride, glucose oxidase, lactoperoxidase, caramel).
The big dose of coveted Royal Jelly delivers vitamins, minerals and amino acids, Licorice is great for those who flush easily or have skin redness problems (read: ROSACEA). Glycerin attracts water to the skin. Phenoxyethanol is used as the stabilizing agent (or one of them), which some fervent organic types eschew, but, when needs must. It's that or parabens, ladies.
It's marketed as anti-ageing.
The texture?
Super watery so very unlike the highly viscous nature of most serums. The dosage and application instructions are respectively a few drops and patted onto the face.
But who can rub just a few drops of water all over his/her face!? I added the drops to my night cream and massage it in or added it to a cocktail of other serums and smeared it around.
The short-term effect?
A bit of instant luminosity to the skin although it feels slightly tacky once on the skin but the skin also does feel much more moisturised than it does pre-application.
The long-term effect?
Calmer, less ruddy skin, slight evening out of overall skin tone. I didn't notice a different in fine lines or acne.
Must-have or nice-to-have?
I would say really nice-to-have. It would make a great addition to a skincare routine added to your daily moisturiser or nightly treatment. Plus, it's one of the few products that will have Royal Jelly in such a concentrated amount and, having seen the Royal Jelly in the Burt's Bees lab, I can tell you it's the real deal.
Random association:
One of Roald Dahl's brilliantly dark stories in Tales of the Unexpected is titled Royal Jelly. A must-read for any diehard Dahl or, indeed, Royal Jelly fans out there.

Ernst Reiter
Born: April 11, 1915
Graz, Austria
Ernst was an only child born to atheist parents in southern Austria during the middle of World War I. Raised in Austria's second largest city, he loved the outdoors, especially skiing in the Alps. In the early 1930s Ernst became a Jehovah's Witness. Although Austria was then in a deep economic depression, he was fortunate to find a job as a sales clerk in a grocery store.
1933-39: Austria's Catholic government was hostile towards Jehovah's Witnesses. When the Germans annexed Austria in March 1938, our activities were banned. Following God's commandments, I refused to give the Hitler salute and to serve in the German army. I was arrested for this on September 6, 1938, and sentenced to six months imprisonment. When I again refused to serve, I was imprisoned in the Bayreuth penitentiary in Germany.
1940-44: When my second prison term ended in November 1939, I was transferred to the relatively new Flossenbürg concentration camp. My number was 1935; I was forced to be a stonemason, and subjected to brutal treatment, including attempts to break my faith in God. But God's power was far greater than anything the Nazis could do to me. The Jewish, Polish, and Soviet prisoners had it far worse than me. The only way the Jewish prisoners got out of there was "through the chimney."
Ernst survived Flossenbürg and a forced march in April 1945. He was liberated by American troops and bicycled back to his home in Austria during the summer of 1945.

Scripts which use windows paths, for e.g- c:\asdf\sdf.txt, to pick up information() or to write information(write document step) will fail. This is due to the fact the directory structure in VOS is very different from that in windows. And also due to the fact that we dont allow data to be written or picked up from anywhere in the box. There is a specific folder for these operations and its called the Customer folder. So all the hardcoded or passed windows paths will need to be changed in the scripts.

Three Races, Three Different Winners on Opening Day in Porto Venere
31 March 2017
Porto Venere, Italy (Mar. 31, 2017) - Opening day in Porto Venere got underway with a brief postponement that soon lead to three highly competitive races commencing the 2017 Melges 32 World League, European Division.
The breeze filled in nicely awarding the first race of the day to long-time Melges 32 owner and Class stalwart Edoardo Pavesio aboard FRA MARTINA. With tactician Manuel Weiller Vidal on duty, Pavesio made winning the opening heat look easy. The wire-to-wire win came under 10-15 knots of breeze out of the west, Matteo Balestrero's Giogi followed in second. Claudia Rossi at the helm of Lasse Petterson's Pippa sailed well into the third place position.
Another class veteran — Andrea Lacorte with Gabriele Benussi calling tactics aboard Vitamina Amerikana took charge to win Race Two, proving that he too could take the immediate lead and command the fleet around the track for a consistent start to finish win.
Fleet newcomer and top Corinthian Kilian Holzapfel aboard Germany's Homanit Junior had a great opening day/class debut to finish in second, followed by International Class President Giangiacomo Serena di Lapigio at the helm of G-Spot in third.
The last race of the day went to Balestrero making him the most consistent of the three daily winners, ultimately putting him in the lead overnight.
Three contentious Melges 32s are competing in the all-amatuer ranks of the Porto Venere fleet, and atop the division is Holzapfel. Fleet newbies Martin Reintjes on Caipirinha is currently seated second. Francesco Graziani on Vitamina completes today's Corinthian podium in third.
Tonight, teams will enjoy a wonderful crew dinner hosted at the Grand Hotel Porto Venere.
Racing continues tomorrow, Saturday with the first warning signal scheduled for 11:00/Italy.
The Melges 32 World League European Division races in Porto Venere are sponsored by the Comune di Porto Venere and organized in collaboration with the Comitato dei Circoli del Golfo, Porto Venere Sviluppo srl and Porto Venere Servizi.

Artist and illustrator Jordan Grace Owens' personalized paper dolls are quite simply, divine. While each cleverly crafted doll is a keepsake to be revered and not a toy to be handled, we think a collection of paper dolls depicting every member of your brood would make fantastic, one-of-a-kind wall art (especially when framed in a shadow box, as Owen recommends) anywhere in your home -- but especially in baby's nursery or a child's bedroom where a little one can marvel at a whimsical family portrait. Read on to learn how to immortalize your kinship in doll form.
Jordan Grace Owens works closely with each customer to make sure she captures the style and spirit of the three-dimensional person she's designing in one dimension. During the ordering process, you provide two to three photographs (jpg images are great) of the folks you'd like in doll form, and you choose the outfits. Owens asks that customers send details of clothing, shoes, and hairstyles that are as specific as possible, ie: "knee-length black pencil skirt with white polka dots, short-sleeve blue t-shirt, brown belt, and green pointy-toe shoes." You can even submit photos of the person wearing the actual outfit you'd like their doll version to don. Owens then illustrates a "quirky stylized moveable likeness of your favorite animal or person." Each doll is hand-colored using marker, ink and colored pencil and each piece is cut from thick cover-weight paper and fastened with metal brads. Adult dolls measure approximately six inches tall.
Owens is open to your suggestions in the creative rendering of your dolls and you may contact her regarding special requests. If your family is still growing, she will happily update your collection by adding a new baby or pet!
Due to extreme popularity, Owens currently has a wait list for all custom orders until the end of June 2013. When you make your purchase, you secure a spot on her wait list.

A Bunch Of RIAA Label Artists Endorse MegaUpload... As RIAA Insists It's A 'Rogue' Site
from the how's-that-working-out-for-you? dept
"When I got to send files across the globe, I use Megaupload," declares Will.i.am, an artist signed to labels owned by RIAA-members Warner and Universal.And yet the RIAA, the MPAA and the US Chamber of Commerce are still insisting that MegaUpload is "rogue" and must be shut down? How's that work now?
"When I'm sending my hits out I use Megaupload, 'cos it's fast. I can receive hits and I can send 'em out," declares P Diddy, an artist signed to Interscope, a label owned by Universal.
Kanye West, signed to Universal-owned Def Jam, likes to use Megaupload "…because it's the fastest and safest way to send files – period."
Alicia Keys, who is signed to Sony-owned RCA, says she uses Megaupload "….because I know that I can get my music safely and quickly -and you know that I'm serious about my music."
Snoop Dogg, signed to EMI-owned Priority, uses it "…because it keeps the kids off the street," and The Game (Universal) says that even his lawyers know he uses it, "…and I got plenty of them."
TorrentFreak's article also reveals some other info about MegaUpload's plans -- some of which may be pretty controversial in other areas. For example, they want to get people to use a product called Megakey, which basically gives them access to "premium" services for free... but in exchange for having ads you see on other sites replaced by ads sourced from Mega. That's a lawsuit of a different nature waiting to happen. Replacing ads on other sites has resulted in lawsuits in the past. The details of how that actually work would be interesting, but I don't see how it doesn't end up tied up in court at some point.

Now for my questions:
- Is there a way to get my license changed to be a PE license?
- If not, is there a reason (other than supporting Poco Systems) why I should purchase both PocoMail and PocoMail PE? If so, please explain the benefits of using both versions.
- Is there a compelling reason to upgrade from 22.214.171.1241?
- Exactly what are the differences between PocoMail and the PE version besides adding the ActiveDisk support? Does PE have a smaller footprint, or specific changes that allow it to run smoothly on a removeable drive?
- If the non-PE footprint is not too big, is there any reason why it can not be used on a removeable drive?
I tried sending an e-mail to the support contacts, but never got a response. Sorry if the forums are the wrong place to ask licensing related questions.

No Wind No Racing On Day Two At 2012 Melges 24 World Championship
31 July 2012
The second day of the Melges 24 Worlds brought plenty of sun tanning, but very sadly no racing, as a most unusual weather system meant that Torbole was not able to deliver her legendary Ora wind today. The Race Committees on the two race courses both made several attempts to start racing, but the wind refused to cooperate forcing them to hoist the AP flag and wait for a wind that never came.
Therefore the overall ranking remains unchanged after yesterday's two races, with Andrea Rachelli's Altea heading this record breaking Melges 24 Worlds, hosted by Circolo Vela Torbole. Only one point behind the leader is Markus Wieser's AEZ, one of the favourites going into the event. On the dock the talk has been all about how this could be an incredibly tricky Championship that could throw up some big surprises. Certainly the all family Maitech crew led by Tommaso del Rio, have surprised this incredibly strong fleet, which includes multiple Olympic, America's Cup and World Champions, by claiming two top ten results on the first day so that they now share the same number of points with Kan Yamada and his very successful Mamma Aiuto crew, who lie in fourth place on count-back.
Audi Ultra supported by Eberhard & Co, helmed by IMCA Chairman Riccardo Simoneschi with Gabriel Benussi calling tactics, is in sixth place ahead of the very strong American West Marine Rigging team, with International Moth Class World Champion Bora Gulari at the helm. Franco Rossini's Blu Moon, helmed by Italian America's Cup helm and past Melges 24 World and European Champion Flavio Favini, opened the regatta yesterday in flying form with a nice win in race one but then fell foul of the Z flag on the start line of race two which added a 20% scoring penalty to his total pushing him down into 20th place. Day one produced mixed results for Saetta: a bad gybe in the first race cost them a lot of positions, but Alberto Bolzan's guys reacted well and went on to take victory in the second race.
The World Championship still has four days to run and tomorrow the Committee hopes to recover some of the lost ground in the official program. PRO Hank Stuart and his team have scheduled racing to start at 08.00 to take advantage of the northerly wind that blows in the morning. They anticipate running three races tomorrow so we can expect a long day.
Events like the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship are not possible without the most generous support of the event sponsors led by the Municipality of Comune di Nago Torbole and including the Regional Authority of Trentino; TrentoDoc, partner of Circolo Vela Torbole whose excellent selection of sparkling wines will be enjoyed by all; Trentingrana, whose cheese is made using milk exclusively from the Trentino area; InGarda, the touristic company supporting visitors to Lark Garda; and technical sailing clothing supplier Marinepool.
Organised by Circolo Vela Torbole in collaboration with the International Melges 24 Class Association, the 2012 Melges 24 World Championship will count a maximum of twelve races, with up to three daily races. Five races are required to made the event valid.

Facebook Trading Near Its IPO Price Means It Was Priced Right, Not That It Was A Disaster
from the come-on-people dept
"It's a total disaster because the stock is trading right at the IPO price," said Francis Gaskins, editor of IPOdesktop.com in Marina del Rey. "They didn't want that in a million years."I guess this depends on who the "they" is in that latter sentence, but if we were dealing with a rational world, having the trades be right around the IPO price is actually a good thing, which suggests that the underwriters properly priced the IPO to what the market price is. Having a massive pop means that the company actually left money on the table -- often a lot of it.
In case you're unfamiliar with how IPOs work, basically what happens is the underwriters "buy" all the equity that's going on the market from the company, and then put it on the open market. So, that IPO price shows exactly how much Facebook gets. All of the trading after that is between other entities. So, for example, with Facebook, it got $38 per share last night from the underwriters. If, today, the stock had been trading at (just for example's sake) $80, it would have meant that Facebook effectively sold its shares for half price on what the market would bear. That would be more of a disaster, because it would suggest that Facebook missed out on a lot of money.
Of course, the banks often like to underprice things a bit, because that creates more buzz and more trades (and they can get more money that way too). But, from Facebook's standpoint, it should be happy that the trading remains around the opening price. Of course, going forward, the company should want the stock price to go up, because that means when it taps back into the market it can get more for whatever equity it sells. But an initial day pop, for all the hype and press it generates, is not something that should be celebrated. It shows that a company got shafted.

Brad Pitt is keeping busy amidst all the wedding planning — the actor was just announced as the new face of Chanel No. 5. The French fashion house confirmed the news to PEOPLE earlier this morning.
The Academy Award-nominated star is reportedly shooting his first ad in London sometime this week, according to E! News.
It's the first time in history that the house has chosen a man to represent the fragrance. Pitt joins the likes of Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis, Audrey Tautou, Ali MacGraw and Lauren Hutton.
According to reports, Pitt will be paid seven figures for his work; his ad will be released overseas later this year.

Success begins with VISION.
The Wyoming Cancer Coalition is charged with implementing the Wyoming Cancer Control Plan, which provides a clear vision of how we can address the second leading cause of death in the Equality State. The plan outlines Wyoming's comprehensive cancer control goals and strategies for cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and quality of life.
The vision is based on COLLABORATION.
Comprehensive Cancer Control offers the power of collaboration as a key approach in reducing cancer. The Wyoming Cancer Coalition is made up of over 80 organizations, and 300 members, united through a shared vision, common commitment, and collaborative activities.
Collaboration promotes EFFICIENCY.
Cancer is a complex problem too large for any one entity to address efficiently. By pooling information, ideas, skills, and strategies, a united partnership is better equipped to set priorities, enhance existing coordination, prevent overlap, maximize resources, and evaluate impact.
Efficiency turns plans in to ACTION.
The mission of the Wyoming Cancer Coalition is accomplished through the actions of its members. The Wyoming Cancer Coalition helps its members adopt the goals and strategies of the Cancer Control Plan, engage others in their efforts, and build community capacity.
Action yields RESULTS.
Wyoming Cancer Coalition members are carrying out Wyoming's Cancer Control Plan through activities that promote positive health behaviors, increased cancer screenings, broader access to quality treatment, and better quality of life for survivors. These results bring us closer to the ultimate goal of saving lives by reducing cancer as a significant health problem in Wyoming.

WASHINGTON (AP) � President Barack Obama declared Monday he is sticking to his war strategy of using U.S. troops to advise and mentor Afghan forces, even as a suddenly growing number of Americans are being gunned down by the very Afghans they are training to take on insurgents.
In just the past 10 days, Afghan forces have attacked their coalition partners seven times, killing nine Americans. For the year there have been 32 such incidents, killing 40, compared to 21 attacks killing 35 troops in all of 2011.
"We are deeply concerned about this, from top to bottom," Obama told a White House news conference. But he said the best approach, with the fewest number of deaths in the long run, would be to stick to the plan for shifting security responsibilities to the Afghans.
"We are transitioning to Afghan security, and for us to train them effectively we are in much closer contact � our troops are in much closer contact with Afghan troops on an ongoing basis," Obama said. "Part of what we've got to do is to make sure that this model works but it doesn't make our guys more vulnerable."
That vulnerability, however, has been exposed in a strikingly deadly way in recent days.
U.S. officials offer two main theories for why Afghan security forces are turning their weapons on Western partners: infiltration by the Taliban and a U.S.-Afghan culture clash.
Both of those root causes suggest that the problem may get worse as American and other coalition forces shift further into an adviser/mentor role. And that, in turn, raises questions about U.S. ability to train and shape the Afghans into a force that can stand up to the Taliban insurgency after foreign forces end their combat role in 2014.
Jacqueline L. Hazelton, a visiting assistant professor at the University of Rochester, who has extensively studied counterinsurgency strategy, sees the attacks stemming from a combination of Afghan resistance and resentment.
"As disturbing as the attacks are as a Taliban tactic, the broader popular anger revealed � among those the mission is supposed to be most closely allied with and most directly useful to � is even more dangerous for the longer term and reveals a greater rot within," Hazelton said in an email exchange.
As recently as last week, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta called such attacks "sporadic" and a sign of Taliban desperation. But as the assaults continued through the week, he consulted with his top commander in Kabul and then on Saturday called Afghan President Hamid Karzai to express concern. Obama said Monday he would do the same.
"We've got to make sure we're on top of this," Obama said. Obama's Republican election rival, Mitt Romney, said Monday in New Hampshire that the U.S. goal ought to be to "transition from our military to their military as soon as possible," in a way that prevents Afghanistan from collapsing and reverting to being a launching pad for terrorist attacks on the U.S.
Obama said he discussed the problem Monday with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, who was already in Kabul to talk to American and Afghan officials about how to halt the killings.
Dempsey said upon his arrival in Kabul that it was important for Karzai and other top government officials to publicly denounce the insider killings, according a Pentagon account of his remarks.
Dempsey also said efforts that began a year ago to improve the vetting of Afghan recruits have yet to solve the problem.
Olga Oliker, an analyst at the Rand Corp. who studies Afghan security forces, said the checks are inevitably spotty, which makes training even more difficult.
"It's Afghanistan," she said. "You just don't have the kinds of records that will give you a strong confidence in a vetting process." And as long as the threat persists it will affect the U.S. training mission, she said.
"If our training efforts take a step back, if our folks are not comfortable genuinely partnering with the Afghans, we'll have even less insight into what they can do," she said Monday. "We'll have even less awareness of when it's appropriate to leave, and we'll be playing even more of a craps game when we withdraw than we are now."
Most U.S. combat troops are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
Panetta's spokesman, George Little, described him as "deeply disturbed" by the attacks, including the latest on Sunday in which a U.S. soldier was shot to death when two Afghan police officers suddenly opened fire inside a police station in southern Kandahar province. The victim was a member of a U.S. military advisory team that had been working with the Afghan police inside their station in Spin Boldak district.
Those advisory teams are growing in number and importance to the U.S. strategy for getting Afghan soldiers and police prepared to take over the fight against the insurgency.
For months U.S. officials have emphasized that insider attacks are rarely perpetrated by Taliban infiltrators. Rather, the killings are usually the work of Afghan troops who hold a grudge against their U.S. or allied partner. The intended implication of that analysis is that the problem could be managed by more closely checking the backgrounds and personal circumstances of Afghans who are recruited into the police and army.
Either way, analysts say the willingness of even a small fraction of Afghan forces to turn on their partners is troubling.
Asked about the problem in an Associated Press interview a week ago, Panetta cast it as a sign of the Taliban's desperation, and he said he had been assured by U.S. commanders that the attacks were only "sporadic."
The next day, however, Panetta told a Pentagon news conference that he had conferred with Marine Gen. John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, and discussed with him a variety of measures designed to stem the attacks. These include stepping up counterintelligence efforts to identify potential attackers before they strike.
As of last week U.S. troops in Afghanistan are under orders to carry loaded weapons at all times, even when on their bases, to enable them to respond more quickly if they spot an Afghan soldier preparing to attack them.
The issue has drawn little attention in Congress, although Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., last week challenged Dempsey's assertion that Afghan security forces are making progress toward fending for themselves.
"With all due respect," Wolf wrote in a letter last week to Panetta, citing Dempsey's assertion, "how can you state that Afghan security forces are making 'steady progress' when they continue to gun down our forces?"

High plains farmers face a lot of "what if's" this week as they evaluate effects of the Monday morning freeze. Best advice, according to Kerry Siders, Texas AgriLife Extension integrated pest management specialist for Hockley and Cochran Counties, is to be ready to begin harvest or salvage activities.
Damage, he said, depends on the crop, level of maturation and the condition of the crop at the time of the freeze.
"Levelland achieved 30 to degrees from 2 a.m. until 7 a.m. the morning of October 8," Siders said. "Varied temperature reports have come in today from surrounding areas, so most everyone had their first freeze and frost. Many have called in asking what this has done to their crops. My first inclination is to say we do not really know yet. However, I know that does not help matters in scheduling spraying activities or digging peanuts.
"First, let me say that the maturation process for all crops has slowed to a snail's pace if not ceased completely." Maturity level depends on exposure to cold and could be quite different in a completely exposed, green sorghum head versus a cotton boll that's in the middle of the plant and protected with intact foliage.
"So let's start with sorghum. My thoughts are if the sorghum kernels were still soft dough and not developing hard starch yet, this (freeze) could be a problem. However, if the kernels were developing hard starch, I think the worst case is you lose some bushel weight."
He says peanut farmers wanted another week or longer to finish out the last pods set. "But again, the maturation of these pods is so slow at this time I'm not sure it's worth the wait. If the plant went into freeze relatively healthy, it will obviously hold up longer until plants can be dug.
"However, if plant health was compromised anyway prior to the freeze, I would recommend getting in the field and digging. As time passes from the point of the freeze, the limbs and pegs begin to deteriorate. If they deteriorate too much, pods easily detach and harvest losses can be considerable."
Siders said cotton could be more complicated.
"On dryland acres, let the crop run its course, unless you have good yield potential and you were prepared to spray. Freeze damage on cotton can be inconsistent within a field and especially from field to field.
"Boll opening is the most critical factor at this point," he said. "Ethephon must come into contact with the boll for it to work properly, and the boll must have some degree of green tissue. In other words, if the freeze caused a boll near the top to completely turn black, that boll will not be subject to opening from ethephon. The boll may or may not open with time, and if it does open it may have some ruined locks."
He recommends evaluating fields. "If a potentially good-yielding field appears to have significant freeze damage, I would spray sooner than later—before too much drying has occurred, so possibly the ethephon will enhance opening. On the other hand, over the next 3 to 5 days, I would watch fields with foliage intact and bolls protected from freeze to see how the plants respond to the weather this week.
"Most likely, you will benefit from the freeze, which simply removed some leaf and made a harvest aid application more effective."
No doubt, Siders said, farmers face many "what ifs and scenarios that could play out here."

Bums me out that San Francisco stands poised to be a world champion in yet another sport. I was up there recently and it seemed to be mostly falling down. There are no right angles in that decaying city, and termites eat better than the tourists. Meanwhile, the teetering populace treats each night like Caligula's birthday.
If California has the equivalent to Anchorage, it is San Francisco. Notice how they put all the taverns at the top of the hills, so at the end of the night everyone just rolls home. In San Francisco, that's what passes for urban planning.
Most San Franciscans are among the nation's artsy unemployed, so I guess we should be happy for our Bay Area brothers and sisters. First they won it all in baseball; now they're about to win it all in our grandest sport, football. At least they have something to hang on to besides each other.
Point is, damp, dippy San Francisco seems the most unlikely great sports town in America. Brawny Baltimore? Sure. Fierce New York? Of course.

According to DOT, between 2007 and 2011 52 people have been severely injured and one killed along the 1.4-mile stretch. After a DOT speeding test, it was determined that during off-peak hours up to 78 percent of cars on 4th Avenue are driving above the 30-mph limit.
DOT project manager Jesse Mintz-Roth said that while 4th Avenue operates as a three-lane street in both directions, it is only doing so in name.
"This would create two good lanes, which is basically better than it is now," he said.
The lanes of traffic as they exist now are an 18-foot parking and moving traffic lane, and two 10-foot moving lanes with an 11-foot raised median. This plan would make the parking lane 13-feet wide, and have two moving lanes, one being 11-feet and the other 10-feet. The median would increase by four feet.
Overall, the proposal would allow for a wider turning bay in certain areas. Also Mintz-Roth stated that there would be truck-loading zones established, however the specific locations of those are still being discussed.
The hope is to prevent the "dangerous weaving" that is occurring along 4th Avenue, according to DOT.
Along with these changes the DOT will be eliminating eight left turning bays and extending the medians from a two-foot-wide structure, at its smallest point, to a 15 to 19-foot-wide section designed to allow pedestrians a place to stand if they get caught crossing between light changes.
The eight locations where the left turns would be banned are Dean Street southbound, Butler Street northbound, Degraw Street northbound, 3rd Street southbound, 8th Street northbound, 9th Street southbound, 13th Street northbound, and 14th Street southbound.
At a Community Board 6 committee meeting last week to discuss the changes, member Jerry Armer voiced concerns of heavily trafficked 9th Street being on the banned list, however Mintz-Roth stated that 9th Street is the third most popular street that drivers turn southbound on and therefore would not cause a significant issue. Only one or two cars per light would have to find an alternate route.
In an attempt to make the process more interactive, DOT has established a website for members of the community to voice complaints, concerns and suggestions.
The DOT has received over 400 online comments just from Park Slope residents, and Mintz-Roth called the online program a "neat and useful tool."
Bicycle corrals will also be included in the proposal to create better sight lines for drivers, but specific locations have yet to be determined. However, some committee members complained the corrals are a nuisance to take care of and take up parking spaces.
In the end, the committee voted to approve the proposal with one opposed.

When Judges Are Determining Whether Or Not Art Should Exist... We Have A Problem
from the judges-as-art-critics dept
This is the truly horrifying part. Whether or not you appreciate the work, clearly some people do like it.
And, yet, that's what we have here. While the case is on appeal, the NY Times recently ran a pretty good overview of the case, and highlighted why the art world is paying so much attention to it. Especially for a younger generation, building new works of art on works that came before seems totally natural. It's a good thing:
"For the generation that I spend my days with, there's not even any ideological baggage that comes along with appropriation anymore," said Stephen Frailey, an artist whose work has used appropriation and who runs the undergraduate photography program at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. "They feel that once an image goes into a shared digital space, it's just there for them to change, to elaborate on, to add to, to improve, to do whatever they want with it. They don't see this as a subversive act. They see the Internet as a collaborative community and everything on it as raw material."What you begin to realize is that, like the wider copyright battle, to some extent this is a "generational" thing. And I don't mean that totally as an "age" thing. There are plenty of "older" people who understand these issues (or who create works via appropriation), just as there are some younger copyright maximalists. But, in general, this does seem like a generational thing, where you have generations of people who simply find the process of building on the works of art completely natural, and those who don't.
At the same time the tools for mining and remolding those mountains of raw material are proliferating. In November a developer and a designer introduced an iPad art app called Mixel, aimed at amateurs but certain to end up in artists' studios. It allows users to grab images from the Web or elsewhere, collage them almost effortlessly and then pass them around, social media style, for appreciation or re-mixing.
One of its creators, Khoi Vinh, a former design director of NYTimes.com, has been surprisingly frank when asked about the tsunami of copyright problems such an idea stirs up. "This is really a case of, you have to do it, try it and ask for forgiveness later," he said to an interviewer. "Otherwise it would never get out there."
But the part that really troubles me about these discussions is a rather simple point about fair use: if the new work does not, in any way, harm the original work, it's seems positively insane to me to think that it shouldn't be seen as fair use. This point is made by Prince's lawyers:
Joshua Schiller, Mr. Prince's appeals lawyer from the firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner, said the boundary is whether a new work of art results from the borrowing. And he argued that it was clear that Mr. Prince had made parts of Mr. Cariou's pictures into distinctive Richard Prince works, not just copy them to pass them off as his own and deprive Mr. Cariou of his livelihood. Whether the work was successful and whether Mr. Prince's intentions were interesting or even explainable can be left to debate. But the primary intention was to create a work of art, Mr. Schiller said, and that is the kind of creativity the law seeks to encourage.I'm still waiting for someone (anyone!) to give me a compelling explanation for why it's a problem in any way, shape or form, if the new work does nothing to take away from the old work. In fact, in cases like this, it's easy to argue that the new work, since it came from a much more well known and successful artist, likely drew much more attention to the original work, thereby raising that artist's profile and stature.
"This is not piracy," he said. "These are not handbags."

Ever wonder what happens to all those nickels, dimes and quarters you pump into the city's parking meters? It may seem like small change, but it all adds up---about $2 million a year in the City of Cleveland.
The money goes into the general fund, and helps pay the salaries of the city's three parking meter collectors, who empty the meters and deliver the coins to the KeyBank Operations Center Off I-480.
But an undercover investigation by 19 Action News Chief Investigator Carl Monday found a disturbing work ethic by the employees, a supervision breakdown by their supervisors and a potential security breach involving millions of dollars.
The collectors hit the streets shortly after 6 a.m. But by as early as 8:30, Monday and his team documented the workers already arriving at the bank, just hours into their shifts. Deposits aren't made until around noon. So what are the workers doing all that time? Over a three week period, Monday's hidden cameras caught the workers hiding in remote areas of the massive bank employee parking lot. The cameras caught them sleeping on the job, drinking coffee and wasting time. Two to three hours at a crack---time that should be spent collecting money from the meters.
Remember, as they snooze on city time, thousands of dollars in coins are sitting in their city vans, raising concerns about their safety---and the city's money inside their vans.
Monday served up a wake-up call to two of the workers. You can see their startled reactions on the 19 Action News Facebook page.
Back at city hall, the city's Public Worker's Director promised to get to the bottom of the all this. Michael Cox says he will review the 19 Action News story and find out why the workers are being allowed to sit for hours without detection.
With 3,000 parking meters in the city, the workers have better things to do than sit in their vans and sleep their shifts away.

During an interview with Jim Rome ... Kobe reacted to the infamous video of now-fired Rutgers coach Mike Rice getting physical with his players, saying if he was on that team ... "I woulda smacked the hell out of him. No question about it."
It's interesting since Kobe never played college hoops -- going straight from high school to the NBA -- but he points out that as an 18-year-old he didn't take crap from Shaquille O'Neal ... so why would he take it from a coach.
There is one person Kobe will let smack him around ... check out the clip.

Black and White for Halloween, Elegant and Whimsical.
As the cooler Fall weather finally reaches us, I usually get a burst of energy and a desire to get some projects done. This year we have been hard at work for a couple of months already. So it feels more like time to sit back with a good book or great movie. Although I'm not doing as much Halloween decorating this year, I have noticed there is no need to add pretend spider webs or dust to make things look scary. It feels like a layer of dust is on everything!
We're working on the den/family room. We found some damage in there, and I thought we should tear somethings apart before hiring anyone, so we would know exactly what we were going to be dealing with. Like the ol' days, it turned out to be the first step in just doing the work ourselves, even though I swore those days were gone. After the demolition, things have gone very well, slowly without rush, just getting it done. We have a lot to do yet. Somehow "re"modeling and working around older construction always takes twice as much effort and time.
Now if I can just get a magic broom to go sweep up the dust bunnies, I think I could continue reading a good book and enjoy the show. I hope you are all enjoying your season of Autumn.

NEW YORK — Wiping away tears, former top-five player James Blake announced Monday that he will retire from tennis after the U.S. Open.
"No real surprise here. This is my last tournament," the 33-year-old Blake said at a news conference during the opening day of action at Flushing Meadows.
"I always wanted to end my career at the U.S. Open," the American added.
Blake, who attended Harvard before turning pro in 1999, reached a career-high ranking of No. 4 in 2006. He is currently 100th and has a 9-13 record this season heading into his first-round match in the U.S. Open against Ivo Karlovic.
Blake reached three Grand Slam quarterfinals, including two in New York, losing at that stage to Andre Agassi in 2005 and to Roger Federer in 2006. He mentioned that five-set defeat against Agassi as a match that stands out as a highlight and lowlight of his time on tour.
Blake's announcement comes a year after his friend and former U.S. Davis Cup teammate, Andy Roddick, retired after the U.S. Open.
"Despite the tears, I'm actually really happy about this," said Blake, noting that he looks forward to spending more time with his wife and their 1-year-old daughter.
Asked about what he would like to do in the future, Blake mentioned two possibilities: serving as captain of the U.S. Davis Cup team, and working as a television commentator.

Race and Ethnicity Play a Role in Stem Cell Donation
News Dec 21, 2012
New research examining the role of race and ethnicity in an individual's decision to become a donor for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) identifies several factors associated with varied participation rates in national donor registries across racial/ethnic groups. Results of this first-of-its-kind study are published online today in Blood, the Journal of the American Society of Hematology (ASH).
Hematopoietic cell transplants serve as valuable treatments for a range of blood disorders, as they generate new, healthy blood cells to replace diseased cells. While cells from related donors offer the highest success rates, similar successes can be achieved using cells from unrelated donors that are available through large registries, such as the the Be The Match Registry® (operated by the National Marrow Donor Program® [NMDP] and Be The Match®), to patients who cannot identify a related donor. Overall participation in HCT donor registries has grown in the last decade, allowing more patients to find unrelated matched donors.
However, the NMDP and Be The Match still face challenges in finding donors for minority patients in need of stem cell transplants. One barrier to matching potential HCT donors with those in need of a potentially life-saving transplant is the fact that patients of non-Caucasian descent often have less common types of human leukocyte antigens (HLAs, protein markers found on immune system genes that determine the compatibility of the donated cells).
According to NMDP and Be The Match data, another important barrier to minority donation for HCT is that when potential minority donors are notified that they are a match for a patient, they are more likely to opt out of registry participation than Caucasian potential donors. During this stage of the donation process (called the CT stage), in which potential donors are contacted for confirmatory HLA typing blood tests and receive information about the medical risks associated with the donation process, Caucasian potential donors are 30 percent more likely than donors of other ethnicities to agree to move forward with donation. This racial/ethnic difference in attrition rates at CT stage has remained a largely unstudied phenomenon.
To better understand why minorities opt-out of a registry and to gauge the influence of race and ethnicity in that decision, a team of researchers led by Galen Switzer, PhD, Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry, and Clinical and Translational Science at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, initiated an observational study with the NMDP. Dr. Switzer and his team conducted telephone interviews with randomly selected Be The Match Registry members who had been notified that they were matched with a potential recipient and had decided either to continue with donation (843 participants) or who had opted out of the registry (224 participants). The sample group included only those participants who had not previously donated stem cells, and represented a range of ethnicities (28% Caucasian, 25% Hispanic, 21% Asian/Pacific Islander, 19% African American, and 7% American Indian).
Based on previous studies, the researchers examined a variety of factors associated with attrition from the registry among individuals of various races, including demographic, cultural (such as religious beliefs and mistrust of the medical system), psychosocial (including anxiety and depression), and donation-related (such as concern about health complications) reasons for withdrawal.
After analyzing the results, the team observed that ambivalence about donation was the factor most strongly associated with potential donors' decision to opt out of the process, a finding that was consistent across all potential minority donors. Dr. Switzer and his colleagues also found that four factors were particularly important in terms of their association with minority group membership and increased risk of attrition: As compared to whites, minorities reported more religious objections to donation, less trust that donations for HCT would be allocated equitably, more concerns about donation, and a greater likelihood of having been discouraged from donating.
In contrast, minorities appeared to be less likely to opt out of the registry if they reported that being a potential donor was an important part of their identity and if others in their social group were aware that they were potential donors.
"The fact that fewer potential donors of minority descent opt to proceed toward donation for HCT when they are identified as a match greatly disadvantages minority patients who are searching for an unrelated donor," said Dr. Switzer. "Our hope is that this study will help registries better understand cultural differences in their donor populations, which, in turn, will lead to the development strategies to maximize potential donor participation."
These results underscore the importance of delivering adequate information to potential minority donors during recruitment to help them fully understand the commitment required and risks associated with donation and will ultimately help ensure patients in need receive a transplant.
"While a patient's likelihood of finding a donor who is willing and able to donate is between 66 and 93 percent, depending on race or ethnicity, the NMDP and Be The Match are committed to ensuring all patients have access to transplant," said Dennis Confer, MD, study co-author and chief medical officer at the NMDP and Be The Match. "This study gives us additional insight into the reasons potential donors become unavailable and solutions to improve donor availability, which is critical to getting a patient to transplant expeditiously."
The researchers suggest several approaches to help reduce the attrition rate, including instituting a "cooling off" period during which donors who initially join a registry take one extra step to verify enrollment, providing them time to determine if participation is right for them. Additionally, a more detailed dialogue between potential donors and registries at the CT stage might help clarify misinformation and ensure that potential donors can make informed decisions about remaining in or opting out of the program.
"Our research team continues to work closely with the NMDP to better understand the experiences of potential and actual HSC donors and to develop strategies to enhance the experiences of registrants from all racial/ethnic groups," said Dr. Switzer. "These strategies should help to reduce the opt-out rates and improve minority patients' access to potentially life-saving stem cell transplants."

Difference between revisions of "User:Fluglotse2000"
Revision as of 11:02, 26 November 2008
Dear Wikitravel user,
due to the recent developments at Wikitravel, I have decided to leave the community and to join the guys at Wikivoyage.org that created a fork of the German Wikitravel in December 2006. They founded an association in order to create a democratic, independent and non-commercial (and ad-free) travel wiki. So far its German version has made good progress, overtaking the WT/de site by far. I am also busy helping to translate articles about the basic roules and so on into English, so that we can create an English version soon. Help is very much appreciated! If you would like to get some more information about Wikivoyage, do not hesitate to visit the Wikivoyage General, the international page concerning all (current and future) language versions of Wikivoyage or write a message on my discussion page.
I am really sorry that I had to leave WT, because I invested a lot of time and effort into this project. But with current developments, I feel that I should devote myself to a project free of any non-community influence. I am grateful that I have met many wonderful people here, all passionate about traveling and willing tos share their experience and I hope to hear from one or the other some time.
Best wishes,
Felix Gottwald

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
The broad S&P 500 posted a small gain for the month of November, while the blue-chip average slipped. Looking forward, traders are paying close attention to the looming fiscal cliff.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.2 points, or 0.02%, to 13025, the S&P 500 gained 0.3 point, or 0.02%, to 1416 and the Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.8 points, or 0.06%, to 3010. The FOX 50 slipped 0.57 point to 1047.
For the month, the Dow shed 0.54%, the S&P 500 rose 0.29% and the Nasdaq jumped 1.1%.
Focus has broadly remained on key talks in the White House and on Capitol Hill aimed at avoiding the fiscal cliff. Headlines have pointed to continued disagreements between Republicans and Democrats, but most analysts say they expect some sort of deal to be made. Still, the back-and-forth has made for a turbulent ride on Wall Street.
"Policymakers may still add to market choppiness in statements that offer little substance while prompting much analysis," analysts at Nomura wrote in a note to clients.
There are two economic reports that may also help define a direction.
The Commerce Department said U.S. consumer spending dropped 0.2% in October from September, the first decline since May. Meanwhile, personal income remained unchanged, the weakest reading since April. Economists expected spending to remain unchanged and income to rise 0.2%.
The Institute for Supply Management-Chicago's PMI gauge ticked up to 50.4 in November from 49.9 in October. The index was expected to increase to 50.5. The reading indicates the sector flipped from contraction territory back into expansion.
Commodities markets were little changed. The benchmark crude oil contract gained 5 cents, or 0.06%, to $88.12 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline dipped 0.13% to $2.784 a gallon.
In metals, gold climbed $2.60, or 0.15%, to $1,732 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 climbed 0.41% to 2592, the English FTSE 100 gained 0.22% to 5883 and the German DAX rose 0.55% to 7441.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 edged up by 0.48% to 9446 and the Chinese Hang Seng ticked higher by 0.49% to 22030.

Covers for iphone and e-book reader
Added Feb 21, 2012
by inava
Livani, Latvia
Trying out something new!
I have an iPhone 3GS and a price for a good, quality cover for it starts from €25… In the time of a recession even owning an iphone is too expensive, never mind paying an extra €25 for a cover itself… So I made one myself from a leftover fabric! Way better that a bought one :)
Created this pattern myself. Using the measurements of the phone, first I cut outside of the cover. Then I glued adhesive fabric on the wrong-side of the material to make it more harder and easier to embroider the fabric. Sewed on some ornaments.. Separately I made an inside of the cover – put together lining with polyester material and sewed together using embroidery style. Sewed some pockets over it and sewed together with the outside of the cover.
The same style I did for kindle covers. Just holders and pockets are different style and sizes… Turned out to be better that expected – very solid and strong and safe covers.
You should try it yourself – a perfect project to practice your skills on!
