Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

Celtics destroy KIngs in second quarter to pace the game
|Posted by shawn cassidy on January 30, 2013 at 11:55 PM
The Celtics were outscored 67- 62 in the other three quarters. But the Celtics ramped up every aspect of the game in the second quarter. They outscored the Kings 37-14 in the second, and it was a total team effort. Green was stunning, and Terry found his stroke. The defensive intensity was there all game, but in the second quarter it was unmatched. The Celtics at one point went 13-of-13 from the field. The Celtics' first missed shot of the quarter didn't come until Avery Bradley couldn't finish a layup with 2:29 remaining in the second.
The Celtics put six players in double figures, and that's mainly because of the second quarter ball movement, and fast break basketball that we crave nightly, mainly Mr.Heinshohn. The offense didn't miss a beat without Rondo, but it was also against the Kings who allow the most points per game in the league. The Celtics had 22 assists Wednesday night with the two veterans, or the "Big Two" dished out 9 assists together with KG having a team leading 5 assists.
The Celtics need to use the blue print from the second quarter, and I was pleased with this club tonight. I need to see this against a team that's over .500 before I fully buy into the Celtics without Rondo.

You Are Not So Smart
Why You Have Too Many Friends on Facebook, Why Your Memory Is Mostly Fiction, and 46 Other Ways You're Deluding Yourself
David McRaney - Author

- eBook - ePub eBook: $12.99
An entertaining illumination of the stupid beliefs that make us feel wise.
You believe you are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is, but journalist David McRaney is here to tell you that you're as deluded as the rest of us. But that's OK- delusions keep us sane. You Are Not So Smart is a celebration of self-delusion. It's like a psychology class, with all the boring parts taken out, and with no homework.
Based on the popular blog of the same name, You Are Not So Smart collects more than 46 of the lies we tell ourselves everyday, including:
Packed with interesting sidebars and quick guides on cognition and common fallacies, You Are Not So Smart is a fascinating synthesis of cutting-edge psychology research to turn our minds inside out.
THE MISCONCEPTION: You are a rational, logical being who sees the world as it really is.
THE TRUTH: You are as deluded as the rest of us, but that's OK, it keeps you sane.
You hold in your hands a compendium of information about self-delusion and the wonderful ways we all succumb to it.
You think you know how the world works, but you really don't. You move through life forming opinions and cobbling together a story about who you are and why you did the things you did leading up to reading this sentence, and taken as a whole it seems real.
The truth is, there is a growing body of work coming out of psychology and cognitive science that says you have no clue why you act the way you do, choose the things you choose, or think the thoughts you think. Instead, you create narratives, little stories to explain away why you gave up on that diet, why you prefer Apple over Microsoft, why you clearly remember it was Beth who told you the story about the clown with the peg leg made of soup cans when it was really Adam, and it wasn't a clown.
Take a moment to look around the room in which you are reading this. Just for a second, see the effort that went into not only what you see, but the centuries of progress leading to the inventions surrounding you.
Start with your shoes, and then move to the book in your hands, then look to the machines and devices grinding and beeping in every corner of your life—the toaster, the computer, the ambulance wailing down a street far away. Contemplate, before we get down to business, how amazing it is humans have solved so many problems, constructed so much in all the places where people linger.
Buildings and cars, electricity and language—what a piece of work is man, right? What triumphs of rationality, you know? If you really take it all in, you can become enamored with a smug belief about how smart you and the rest of the human race have become.
Yet you lock your keys in the car. You forget what it was you were about to say. You get fat. You go broke. Others do it too. From bank crises to sexual escapades, we can all be really stupid sometimes.
From the greatest scientist to the most humble artisan, every brain within every body is infested with preconceived notions and patterns of thought that lead it astray without the brain knowing it. So you are in good company. No matter who your idols and mentors are, they too are prone to spurious speculation.
Take the Wason Selection Task as our first example. Imagine a scientist deals four cards out in front of you. Unlike normal playing cards, these have single numbers on one side and single colors on the other. You see from left to right a three, an eight, a red card, and a brown card. The shifty psychologist allows you to take in the peculiar cards for a moment and poses a question. Suppose, the psychologist says, "I have a deck full of these strange cards, and there is one rule at play. If a card has an even number on one side, then it must be red on the opposite side. Now, which card or cards must you flip to prove I'm telling the truth?"
Remember—three, eight, red, brown—which do you flip?
As psychological experiments go, this is one of the absolute simplest. As a game of logic, this too should be a cinch to figure out. When psychologist Peter Wason conducted this experiment in 1977, less than 10 percent of the people he asked got the correct answer. His cards had vowels instead of colors, but in repetitions of the test where colors were used, about the same number of people got totally confused when asked to solve the riddle.
So what was your answer? If you said the three or the red card, or said only the eight or only the brown, you are among the 90 percent of people whose minds get boggled by this task. If you turn over the three and see either red or brown, it does not prove anything. You learn nothing new. If you turn over the red card and find an odd number, it doesn't violate the rule. The only answer is to turn over both the eight card and the brown card. If the other side of the eight is red, you've only confirmed the rule, but not proven if it is broken elsewhere. If the brown has an odd number, you learn nothing, but if it has an even number you have falsified the claims of the psychologist. Those two cards are the only ones which provide answers. Once you know the solution, it seems obvious.
What could be simpler than four cards and one rule? If 90 percent of people can't figure this out, how did humans build Rome and cure polio? This is the subject of this book—you are naturally hindered into thinking in certain ways and not others, and the world around you is the product of dealing with these biases, not overcoming them.
If you replace the numbers and colors on the cards with a social situation, the test becomes much easier. Pretend the psychologist returns, and this time he says, "You are at a bar, and the law says you must be over twenty-one years old to drink alcohol. On each of these four cards a beverage is written on one side and the age of the person drinking it on the other. Which of these four cards must you turn over to see if the owner is obeying the law?" He then deals four cards which read:
Now it seems much easier. Coke tells you nothing, and 23 tells you nothing. If the seventeen-year-old is drinking alcohol, the owner is breaking the law, but if the seventeen-year-old isn't, you must check the age of the beer drinker. Now the two cards stick out—beer and 17. Your brain is better at seeing the world in some ways, like social situations, and not so good in others, like logic puzzles with numbered cards.
This is the sort of thing you will find throughout this book, with explanations and musings to boot. The Wason Task is an example of how lousy you are at logic, but you are also filled with beliefs that look good on paper but fall apart in practice. When those beliefs fall apart, you tend not to notice. You have a deep desire to be right all of the time and a deeper desire to see yourself in a positive light both morally and behaviorally. You can stretch your mind pretty far to achieve these goals.
The three main subjects in this book are cognitive biases, heuristics, and logical fallacies. These are components of your mind, like organs in your body, which under the best conditions serve you well. Life, unfortunately, isn't always lived under the best conditions. Their predictability and dependability have kept confidence men, magicians, advertisers, psychics, and peddlers of all manner of pseudoscientific remedies in business for centuries. It wasn't until psychology applied rigorous scientific method to human behavior that these self-deceptions became categorized and quantified.
Cognitive biases are predicable patterns of thought and behavior that lead you to draw incorrect conclusions. You and everyone else come into the world preloaded with these pesky and completely wrong ways of seeing things, and you rarely notice them. Many of them serve to keep you confident in your own perceptions or to inhibit you from seeing yourself as a buffoon. The maintenance of a positive self-image seems to be so important to the human mind you have evolved mental mechanisms designed to make you feel awesome about yourself. Cognitive biases lead to poor choices, bad judgments, and wacky insights that are often totally incorrect. For example, you tend to look for information that confirms your beliefs and ignore information that challenges them. This is called confirmation bias. The contents of your bookshelf and the bookmarks in your Web browser are a direct result of it.
Heuristics are mental shortcuts you use to solve common problems. They speed up processing in the brain, but sometimes make you think so fast you miss what is important. Instead of taking the long way around and deeply contemplating the best course of action or the most logical train of thought, you use heuristics to arrive at a conclusion in record time. Some heuristics are learned, and others come free with every copy of the human brain. When they work, they help your mind stay frugal. When they don't, you see the world as a much simpler place than it really is. For example, if you notice a rise in reports about shark attacks on the news, you start to believe sharks are out of control, when the only thing you know for sure is the news is delivering more stories about sharks than usual.
Logical fallacies are like math problems involving language, in which you skip a step or get turned around without realizing it. They are arguments in your mind where you reach a conclusion without all the facts because you don't care to hear them or have no idea how limited your information is. You become a bumbling detective. Logical fallacies can also be the result of wishful thinking. Sometimes you apply good logic to false premises; at other times you apply bad logic to the truth. For instance, if you hear Albert Einstein refused to eat scrambled eggs, you might assume scrambled eggs are probably bad for you. This is called the argument from authority. You assume if someone is super-smart, then all of that person's decisions must be good ones, but maybe Einstein just had peculiar taste.
With each new subject in these pages you will start to see yourself in a new way. You will soon realize you are not so smart, and thanks to a plethora of cognitive biases, faulty heuristics, and common fallacies of thought, you are probably deluding yourself minute by minute just to cope with reality.
Don't fret. This will be fun."Every chapter is a welcome reminder that you are not so smart-yet you're never made to feel dumb. You Are Not So Smart is a dose of psychology research served in tasty anecdotes that will make you better understand both yourself and the rest of us. It turns out we're much more irrational than most of us think, so give yourself every advantage you can and read this book."
-Alexis Ohanian, Co-Founder of Reddit.com
"You Are Not So Smart is the go-to blog for understanding why we all do silly things."
"You'd think from the title that it might be curmudgeonly; in fact, You Are Not So Smart is quite big-hearted."
-Jason Kottke, Kottke.org
"In an Idiocracy dominated by cable TV bobbleheads, government propagandists, and corporate spinmeisters, many of us know that mass ignorance is a huge problem. Now, thanks to David McRaney's mind-blowing book, we can finally see the scientific roots of that problem. Anybody still self-aware enough to wonder why society now worships willful stupidity should read this book."

"When it comes to young adults (18-24) in the US, the employment rate is just barely above half, or 54%, which just happens to be the lowest in 64 years, and 7% worse than when Obama took office promising a whole lot of change 3 years ago."
When older generations wonder what's the matter with Millennials, they often judge their younger cohorts against such financial and social benchmarks as finding a job, getting married, and buying a home. These observations often come wrapped in weak science — "blame Facebook for their indolence" — or dripping with judgment — "blame their parents for making them weak." The science is weak, but the observations are true. Fewer young people are finding jobs. Fewer young people are getting married. Fewer young people are buying homes.
Between 1980 and 2000, the share of late-twenty-somethings owning homes had declined from 43% to 38%. The share of early-thirty-something home owners slipped from 61% to 55% in that time. After the boom and bust were over, both rates kept falling. The rate of young people getting their first mortgage between 2009 and 2011 was chopped in half from just 10 years ago, according to a recent study from the Federal Reserve.
One headwind is student debt.
Giant Communist Robot wrote:Consumer spending has been up, but Personal Income has declined; an unsustainable relationship. These last two measures, though, are descriptive rather than predictive.
Giant Communist Robot wrote: My first reaction was "when you measure different things you get different numbers". By itself that doesn't mean one method produces a more "real" measure. Then I saw their graph of their version of prices, EPI, vs. CPI. The EPI has much more volatility, and when I checked their basket I saw why--they include food and energy. I'll try this again: those two series have wild swings in prices, those swings tend to mask the underlying trend by distorting the data. This is why the BLS emphasizes the core rather than the headline.
Haggis@wk wrote:I've never disputed your posts about the CPI I just believe it, and the government reports surrounding it, are simply irrelevant to the majority of Americans and therefore ignored.
they care about what it costs to feed, clothe, and transport their family
one of the CPI indices is the price of large appliances, if you are not prepared or have enough to buy those items then the "core" declines.
If it cost the average American family 8% more to live this year than it did last year then the "official" CPI is nonsense.
. Everytime I stick the gas nozzle in the tank and see that the price of gasoline has risen another $.10 or so, I think to myself: "Thank God the core CPI is down..."
I feel the same way when I look at prices in my supermarket. It seems our CPI is as meaningless as yours.
Giant Communist Robot wrote:I'm beginning to realize not too many people here understand CPI.
The CPI suggests a good portion of our spending is on Energy and Food.

Preparing a healthy meal for your kids that gets them involved in the kitchen is now a whole lot easier thanks to Samantha Barnes who created Raddishkids.com: a monthly subscription box of culinary adventures.
Samantha Barnes' commitment to changing the way kids and families eat was born from her experiences as a middle school teacher and mother of two. Realizing that many of her students were young foodies but lacked the knowledge and kitchen experience to make healthy lunch choices, Samantha launched Kitchen Kid in 2006, a Los Angeles based cooking school with the hope of inspiring young people to jump into the kitchen and start cooking!
1. Olympic Torch Cupcakes
2. Olympic bagel rings
Raddish is a monthly subscription box delivering culinary adventures and family fun right to your door. Each themed monthly box takes the guesswork out of how to get children cooking and families eating well. It was based by Southbay mom and entrepreneur Samantha Barnes.
Raddish is about bringing families together in the kitchen and at the table. Children who help out in the kitchen are much more likely to become adventurous eaters. Washing or peeling vegetables can give them a sense of empowerment and get them excited to eat vegetables! Culinary instruction cultivates a diverse palate, increases self-confidence and helps build a solid foundation for a healthy future. Raddish was designed by teachers and their recipes also incorporate math, science, nutrition, geography and history. Countless studies prove that families who eat meals together raise healthier, safer and more successful children.

Dawg Sports previously expressed sympathy for Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer. While Georgia Bulldogs fans should continue to pray for Coach Meyer and his family, that doesn't mean they can't go back to thinking he's a jerk.
This week's SEC slate is less than spectacular outside of the Alabama Crimson Tide's matchup with the LSU Tigers, but that didn't stop Dawg Sports from picking every game on the schedule in "Don't Bet On It!"
New Tennessee Volunteers head coach Lane Kiffin has made quite a splash in the SEC, but is there any reason to believe he will do anything other than fall flat on his face?
When Urban Meyer responded to criticisms from former Florida Gators quarterback Shane Matthews by declaring that critical ex-players no longer would be welcome in the football offices, it touched off a firestorm. Dr. Saturday wondered what the big deal was, so Dawg Sports takes the time to explain.
Next Thursday, the Florida Gators will play for the national championship. How should fans of the Georgia Bulldogs be rooting?
Are the Georgia Bulldogs and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets both bound for 10-win seasons? Can the Clemson Tigers continue their winning run under Dabo Swinney in the Gator Bowl? Is Steve Spurrier ready to take the next step with the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Outback Bowl? Dawg Sports brings you the latest bowl predictions in "Don't Bet On It!"

Comments about Chinese Laundry Women's Make My Day Pump:
When I first look at the shoes I said it look better then the picture online. Then when I put it on they were a perfect fit for me. I got the normal size I usually ware so if you have a wide feet you might want to get an half size up because they are a little narrow. Very comfortable and stable. I really don't have any complaints about these shoes. It was a great buy for me!

I would recommend this book because it shows a theme that true beauty is in seen within and not on the outside.

Being a fan of the original tale of Beauty and the Beast, this book would have to be pretty bad for me not to like it. So, yes, I enjoyed it and I liked that it was more from the perspective of Beast, whereas most versions focus on Beauty's perspective. My only problem is that I'm not sure how well it fit in a modern setting. There is a reason every fairytale is set in some historical era. But still, I recommend reading it; it was a fun book.

3.5 hours to play Lakewood today... broke 100 for the second time there.
97 was the walkoff... no one was there it was great.

97 was the walkoff... no one was there it was great.
Hats off to all of you who played today. It was blowing like 40 mph here in Long Beach. Day off and I didn't even think once of heading to the range. Way too much damn wind!!
I was working up in La Mirada and La Habra today and decided to check out the Hacienda Golf Club for a bit in my spare time. A little drizzle came down and carts started racing to the club house. I couldn't believe it. It takes more than light rain for 5 minutes for me to abandon a round. The place appeared to be in decent shape but I expected more from a private course.
Leaving for Trump National...wish me luck!
A very lucky 88 yesterday at Los Lagos in Costa Mesa. Wind was horrible
If you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now, quiet! The're about to announce the lottery numbers...
83 at Trump from the tips. Finished double-double (and no, I didn't go to In-N-Out afterwards...)
Beautiful course in terms of condition and scenery. Ocean views bettered maybe only by Pebble and Cypress Point. As far as the course layout, it blows. Target golf to the extreme, include several blind drives, long carries off the tee and some of the greens looked like Trump might have buried some bad employees under them. There are tough courses (PGA tour stops where it's long, tight and deep rough) then there are unfair tough courses where it is unrewarding and unforgiving. The latter is what Trump National was.
But alas, it was nice to play and had a good time nonetheless.
Played the other day at Alondra.
My scores were:
001 002 003 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012 013 014 015 016 017 018
5/4 6/5 4/3 4/4 6/4 4/4 4/4 4/3 5/5 5/4 7/4 4/3 4/4 3/3 7/5 5/4 5/4 5/5
Finally broke bogey golf.
Hope I can keep it up.
Here's what sucks though:
I missed a 6ft birdie putt on 9.
I went OB on my 1st tee shot on 11 (re-shot from tee, counted both strokes and added a penalty stroke).
I hit two from the same trap on 15.
I missed a 4ft birdie putt on 18. (This is a friggin' tough hole to birdie and I was so stoked to see my ball 4ft from the hole when I made it to the green (pin was obscured by hill/bunker in front of hole). I thought I had friggin' birdie coming. Was happy to par it, but DAMN I can't believe I missed that birdie putt).
Oh yeah, my GIR count was holes 1, 4, 6, 9, 14, 18.
That's great for me.

Zynga's FarmVille was once very popular. You would receive dozens of requests from people on Facebook who played the game. It was designed in way that players often needed to request their friends on Facebook to join in just to progress beyond a certain stage. Zynga then released a mobile version in 2010 which was essentially meant as an alternative method to play the desktop version on mobile. The company abandoned it after two years. Now it has gone back to basics by launching a new title called FarmVille 2: Country Escape.
It offers the true FarmVille experience with animals, crops and more that players have long been accustomed to. However its no longer like previous incarnations. Zynga says that it developed this game from the ground up for mobile devices. Its no longer a way to play the desktop version of mobile. FarmVille 2: Country Escape is a bonafide mobile game, though players will be able to interact and share items with the desktop version.
The title is available as a free download from the App Store and Google Play Store, though it offers a variety of in-app purchases through which players can move through the game at bit quicker. Since its a proper mobile game FarmVille 2: Country Escape doesn't require an internet connection to play and neither does it compel players to connect to the internet like the original version.
Former Microsoft executive Don Mattrick, who became Zynga's CEO last July, has repeatedly said that the FarmVille franchise will play a major role in turning the country around. Lets see if this new title aids that objective in any significant way.

Nourish Your Joints - FN1489
Most of us experience some joint stiffness during seasonal changes. However, degenerative diseases such as arthritis can inhibit daily activities.
Nourish Your Bones - FN1488
Keeping our bones healthy is a lifelong process. As we get older, our bodies may break down bone faster than we can make new bone. This can cause problems if our bones don't have enough stored nutrients to keep them strong. Eating nutrient-rich foods and getting weight-bearing physical acti vity help keep our bones in good shape no matter what our age.
Size up the Supplement - FN1491
Supplements have different serving sizes and intake recommendations. To determine how many milligrams (mg) of a nutrient are in each capsule, divide the milligrams of that nutrient by the number of capsules in each serving size. Remember, you probably are getting some vitamins and minerals from your diet. Be sure to include both supplements and dietary intake when considering if you are getti ng the right amount of a nutrient.

With the promotion to AA, Baez will now pair up the middle with Alcantara in Tennessee. They have been 2 of the best performing minor leaguers offensively this year (Alcantara .273/.349/.819, Baez .271/.334/.870). However, they have also been appearing quite often in the box score for their fielding blunders (Alcantara 23 errors, Baez 31). Their fielding woes have taken a back seat in the headlines because of their offense production. Their defense will not hold either player back in their steps towards the big leagues, but it is painful to think how bad our infield could be defensively if we ever saw them in the same infield as Castro (hypothetically Alcantara 2B, Castro SS, Baez 3B). Castro has led the majors in errors since 2010 with 98 (27,29,27,15) while posting a fielding % of .959. In 379 minor league games Alcantara has a f% of .903 (2B .933, SS .907, 3B .803) and Baez in 157 games has a .930 (all at SS). Castro has averaged 750 fielding chances in his 2 full seasons. Alcantara would total 73 errors in 750 chances at his career f%, Baez calculates to 53. THAT'S TERRIBLE!!!!!! Can you say position change?!?!
As a 3B, 400 chances seem to be average for full time 3B in recent years. Baez's .930 f% would bring him 28 errors in 400 chances. While still high, this would be a forgivable total if the offense is there. Aramis Ramirez posted 33 errors and a .929 f% in 2003, while also posting a .272/.324/.788 slash with 27 HR's and 106 RBI. He will remain at SS for the obvious reasons, but I (and probably several others) still believe he will end up at 3B (or the outfield) once he arrives in Majors.
As for Alcantara, a .903 f% will not be permitted anywhere in the infield regardless of offensive production. His .933 f% at 2B in 298 chances is an improvement, but still a long way from a major league 2B level. Ian Kinsler has led or been near the top in errors for 2B since 2006. He has a career .977 f% and has never committed more than 18 errors in a season (averaging 652 chances per season). 2B seems to be a more likely position for Alcantara (assuming he stays in the infield) and the promotion of Baez will move him there permanently while he is in AA. With Logan Watkins playing 2B full time in AAA, I hope that Alcantara will stay in AA, and follow his previous minor league seasons and play a full season at the same level. It's been working so far and full time 2B is what I think he needs defensively.

College Group nabs Hill+Knowlton Strategies' Tim Fallon
College Group has snared Hill+Knowlton Strategies' Tim Fallon to head its corporate business.
A former Labour party strategist, Fallon has also led public and community affairs at J Sainsbury and headed public affairs at airport operator BAA.
Fallon commented: 'Everything is in place to grow the College Group into a new generation, top tier, international business comms consultancy.'
He told PRWeek it was important to him to be able to have a 'personal stake' in his new agency and be able to 'drive the ambitious growth of College Group from the centre of the business'.
Former College Group corporate head Chris Woodcock, who sold her own consultancy to College Group in 2008, will remain a managing partner of the business, advising the firm's wider business comms practices.
Chief executive Richard Nichols commented: 'Timing is everything, and we are very excited that Tim joins us at the start of a further period of rapid growth, planned for both the corporate practice and the wider group.
'Our Corporate offer, spanning reputation management, crisis and risk expertise and coaching, is more than holding its own on any international stage, so our continued success will depend on us playing to our strengths and leveraging the considerable intellectual property we have built up in the team.'

Blast Off may not look like much at first glance. It's an unassuming action game with simplistic graphics and a cheap price tag. It's one of those PSP Minis, a collection of inexpensive games you can play on both your PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 3. But don't be fooled by the look and price tag, because Halfbrick's new game is one of the most exciting games I've played on the PSP in months. With a $3 price tag, Blast Off may be the game that gets people to take a serious look at the PSP Minis marketplace.
The gameplay is deceptively simple. You control a small egg-shaped rocket ship, the kind of ship that can only hold a few sightseers and nothing else. Your goal is to blast off from your home planet and collect the stranded astronauts in space. While that may sound simple enough, the game throws a lot of obstacles in your way that makes this rescue mission extremely hazardous. As you might imagine, you don't have a whole lot of control of your craft while flying through the solar system. You have your thrusters that will propel you forward, plus you can aim where you want to go, but that's about it. This is a game all about mastering your thrust and steering, two things that, if done right, will get you far in this game (and in life).
Thankfully there's a little more to this game than just blasting off into space, avoiding a few rocks and picking up some guy floating in space. Along the way you'll have to put up with a number of space-related situations, such as the pull from large planets and that sucking sound coming from a black hole. You'll quickly discover that you'll have to factor in the orbit surrounding planets, something that will change depending on how close you are and how big the planet is. At first this is simple enough, but by the end of the game you'll discover that even the large planets are stuck in an orbit and everything is moving is such a way that it's hard to predict the perfect time to blast off and collect your friends.
Thankfully there's more to it than what I'm describing. The game is constantly throwing new challenges at you, which keeps the different levels varied and exciting. Your score is judged based on couple of different things, such as how much time it takes (or rather, how much air you use) and how much fuel you burn through collecting all of your colleagues. If you can snatch them all up AND get to the safe point without wasting too much time/fuel, then you will be rewarded with a gold star, everything else nets you a crummy silver star.
Considering the game's cheap price, there is a nice amount of levels to blast through. The game comes pre-loaded with four different difficulties (easy, medium, hard and insane), each with around a dozen unique levels. When all is said and done, there are around 50 levels to play through over and over. That may not sound like a lot, but I have absolutely no complaint with the game's length. Compared to the length of Halfbrick's other PSP release,
, this might as well be an epic role-playing game. Even the most casual gamer will get their money's worth just by playing through the game once.
What makes this game so much fun is that you can play each level in a number of different ways. The fact is, you don't even need to rescue all of your missing men in order to complete a mission, which definitely makes the later missions a little more doable. What I found is that the further I got, the better I was at controlling my little ship. No longer was I getting trapped by the gravity of a particular moon or planet, instead I was able to blast my way around them with the greatest of ease. After completing the very hardest level, I had no problem going back and beating my old score. And best of all, the game gives you a score to beat (generated by the developers), so there's always incentive to go back and beat those scores. Each level has a surprising amount of replay, I have easily put more than ten hours into this simple little $3 PSP game. The only thing that would have made this game more addictive is if there was an online leaderboard system in place. Perhaps that's asking too much.
The graphics are extremely simple, yet they definitely get the job done. Even though everything is small and repeated constantly throughout the course of the game, there are a lot of cool details here and there. The art direction is solid, which is not something I often say about one of the PSP Minis. The audio is also well done, though it sides a little too heavily with the new age music. The sound effects are solid, though completely unrealistic. The whole presentation is simple, but definitely strong throughout the journey.
Because of the short levels and simplistic gameplay, this makes for a perfect portable game. But I also found that Blast Off works well as a standalone PlayStation 3 title as well. Blast Off is a great concept that is only helped by the deceptively simple gameplay. Even though I had much larger, more expensive games to play, I found myself sucked into getting gold stars in this tiny little $3 game. Even with only 45 levels, there's more than enough here to keep you coming back for more day after day. Not only is Blast Off well worth the money, but it's easily the best of the PSP Minis. If this is the type of games we can expect from Halfbrick, then I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

This is horribly sad event but the question must be ask: With the church doctrine that says suicide is an unredeemable sin, how do Christians deal with that fact?
Views: 769
Belle, there is an unforgivable sin. I don't know if you believe in god or not, but if you do not, you are hell bound according to the christian faith.
I'm an Atheist going on 4 months RobertPiano. I just happen to know the answer so I'm trying to contibute my thoughts without being disrespectful to either side, just stating objectively...The doctrine of Grace would say that one cannot "lose salvation..." Now some branches of christianity DO believe you can weave in and out of salvation, and I believe the Catholics are like this, (not sure to be honest) But the brand that Rick Warren comes from, I assure you, they will ultimately believe their son is in heaven.
In the Catholic church suicide IS the unforgivable sin.
Pastor Warren says he was aware of his son's depression. That begs the question: did he pray for his son? And if so, did God not think Warren deserving of having his prayers granted? Not very cool of The Lord, considering how much money Rick has raised for him, and the spectacular cathedral he built for him.
I have sympathy for anyone, including Rick Warren, who loses his child that way. But I have no respect for him if he does not admit that God either abandoned him or doesn't exist. My guess, though, is that he will rationalize this tragedy as God's wisdom. I despise any father who says that, because it implies his son deserved his fate.
I noticed that the Warren family announcement talked about mental illness and getting the best medical treatment for their son but no mention of their god. If Warren's purpose driven life is part of his god's plan then why doesn't Warren thank his god for making Warren's son suffer terribly with mental illness causing so much anguish he killed himself? After all, in Warren's faith-based worldview, his son's suicide was part of his god's master plan for the Warren family. This is where Judeo-Christian belief spectacularly fails. 2000 years of Christian Apologetics still can't address the Problem of Evil and Suffering aka Theodicy. So I look forward to Pastor Warren publicly praising his loving god for killing Warren's mentally ill son unless he is a hypocrite. Hopefully this human tragedy will bring Warren to his senses and snap him out of his god delusion. It will be interesting to see how this plays out with the Warrens.
I think there is no way on this earth that Warren will ever 'snap out' of his delusion, he is in WAY too deep. If he is a snake oil entrepreneur then he will continue with business as usual, finding a way to milk every last cent out of the tragedy, if he is a 'true believer' his 'faith' will keep him believing.
I was wondering if the mental illness was hereditary and if embryonic research could help cure/eradicate the condition...
Guess his prayers were never answered huh? Can't call this one of "gods miracles"
I'm curious about his condition so I'm guessing Bi-Polar Disorder.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
archie - I cant help thinking of Charlie Sheen whenever I hear the word Bi-Polar.
Charlie Sheen said that he was Bi-Winning with his Bi-Polar IN-Order .... lol
Its not a nice disorder though. The ones with Bi-Polar blow a lot of money...
I'm just wondering if his kid had homosexual tendencies. Can you imagine the unrelenting torment that must have been.

"Ten years since his last album, Surgeon returns riding a nine-headed beast on 'Breaking The Frame'" - Boomkat
…And that, ladies and gentlemen, is by far the best review of said release that anyone could hope to find. Yet there exists a perverse few amongst us, who get off on writing/reading nothing less than the lengthy and wordy, so let us ramble onward…
Its been anything but a decade in the musical wilderness for the one known to his momma as Anthony Child – in fact, Breaking the Frame conclusively proves that he's been engaged in the most high-calibre training of both beast and beastmaster himself.
There really is a whole lot on the back of this record: consider the now-legendary expanse of musical influences encompassed by his remarkable DJ sets, on top of the embarrassment of riches that is his discography. Put two and two together and it makes sense that BTF channels a revised and updated merging of his separate legacies – with blunt British Murder Boy techno on one hand, to avant-garde excursions as part of Diversion Group.
The first real highlight, 'Transparent Radiation', lurches around like a disciplined T++ let down by a busted Gain knob; its misshapen basslines stapled to a marching beat. But such dynamic tension exists only for Child's application of mischief – expressed here with a sparkling curtain call of silvery melodies.
Right in the middle of the LP, though, lies the biggest baddest crown on this monster: 'Radiance'. Lustrous black hole physics ignited by raw energy and crushing pressure; rush after rush of a giant battering boomer mercilessly decimating everything in its way – and more. Could this be, in all the right ways, the heaviest track I've ever heard in my life? I don't know…
Then there's the one oddity of a straight up 4/4 Berghainer in 'Those Who Do Not': its striding perc and cavernous filters tailor-made for the canon popularised by today's 'techno mecca'. But tracks with beats of any sort constitute a minority of the album's playing time, with greater attention devoted to fashioning sonic swells of shape and texture.
As such, an all-round Steve Reich-esque richness of electroacoustic space and atmosphere features prominently. Interspersed with his oft genre-defying reading of contemporary techno, the result is a masterclass underlined by his ever present penchant for doing exactly as the album title says.
There goes a story of how circa 1996, mentor Mick Harris (aka Scorn) deposited a young and then unknown Anthony Child in his home studio, telling the boy: "Go mad. Don't stop to think, just do it. Whatever's in you, get it out." A few days later, this lad yielded the essential Surgeon debut, Communications: fast-forward 15 years, and I daresay that with Breaking the Frame, Child has managed to both adhere to and surpass such sagely advice. The world now has one more phenomenal record that succeeds at being, at the same time, all revolution and yet evolution; all message and still fundamentally music.

Natural Cure for Canine Cushing's Disease
Information and natural remedies for the treatment of ailment.
Cushing's disease in dogs is known as hyperadrenocorticism, a reference to the basic cause of the disease. Cortisol, produced by the adrenal cortex, is an endocrine hormone that is released to aid the body in responding to stress and change. It also plays an active role in the metabolism of ingested nutrients, summons resources in response to inflammation, induces the liver to raise blood sugar, and maintains water levels in the body. Hyperadrenocorticism is a condition in which the body continues to produce and release cortisol even after the stress factor has been eliminated.
Cushing's in dogs is characterized by excessive urination and thirst. If left untreated, it progresses rapidly, showing symptoms like a bloated stomach, dull and dry coat, diabetes, fatigue, baldness and an increased appetite. Eventually there is a marked deterioration in the overall appearance of the dog.
There are various treatment options that include surgery and chemotherapeutic drugs. These treatment modalities are usually chosen since the condition is caused by a pituitary or adrenal tumor in most cases. Surgery is a viable option if the condition is being caused by adrenal tumors. However, most reported cases of Cushing's disease turn out to be pituitary-dependent, and are therefore treatable only with chemo-like drugs.
Cushing's disease occurs mostly in older dogs and can be accompanied by other painful disorders like arthritis and metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus. Considering old age, side effects of chemo and exposure to further suffering, most dog owners opt for no treatment at all. The focus in such cases is to make life comfortable for the dog as long as he lives.
Take a look at the natural diet of dogs and you will come to know how best to help the hassled dog's metabolic process. Your dog's internal systems are different from humans. A change in diet that is focused on raw meat and vegetables can go a long way to provide support to normal organic processes of metabolizing nutrients. You may also look at certain herbal and homeopathic formulations specifically meant to support adrenal functioning.
A change in diet and natural herbal supplements cannot cure Cushing's, but can improve your dog's general health and alleviate the suffering. There is no dearth of information with regards to Cushing's in dogs in pet health journals, as the condition is fairly common among domesticated dogs as they get old.

MIDLAND – Representatives of Unimin Canada Ltd. are keeping mum about Midland's recent decision to put temporary restrictions on the company's waterfront property.
Councillors voted 9-0 in favour of an interim control bylaw at a special meeting Jan. 23, which means no new buildings can be built on the land for one year, and all new industrial uses are prohibited for the same period.
Carl Horvat, regional general manager, told The Mirror the company is not in a position to comment on what the town is doing or on any pending offers or sales.
"We are involved with the steering committee (overseeing a study on the land)," he said. "We are going to try to maintain a relationship with the town. We have an open dialogue with the mayor and the people of Midland."

I could NEVER be Catholic b/c of how they treat women. Will that send me to Hell?
My parents are raised Catholic and I can assure you my father always has put my mother in the first place.And vise versa I should add.But it sound to me the way the Bible decribes marriage.
the task of both is to support eachother.
Just guesswork, but I think one of the things AO has problems with is all RC officials are men. Ever seen a female pope?

Spring is in the air! Baseball and crackerjacks, NHL and NBA playoffs, what more could a sports fan ask for? Perhaps a less gloomy oulook for the 2011-12 NFL season but as fans we have no control over that mess. However, looking ahead to the NBA playoffs I see nothing but generals getting their teams ready for war of epic proportions.
How the West was won:
Each team summed up in 5 words
Dallas- too soft to win rings
San Antonio- will struggle with lakers inside
Oklahoma- how much has youth evolved
LA Lakers- defending champs, theirs to lose
Memphis- better luck next year guys
Portland- Will suprise alot of people
Denver- can team unity trump talent?
New Orleans- CP3s backpack not big enough
Big East Feast:
Boston- If they're healthy, they're wealthy
Chicago- Every Rose has it's thorn (mj had a few before he found success in the postseason)
Orlando- Orlandon't
Miami- High ceiling, can they close?
New York- Offense only goes so far
Atlanta- Scares absolutely nobody, no..body
Philadelphia- undersized, undertalented, will be overwhelmed
Indiana- next subject please, thank you
