If you are starting a new business, the first thing you should do is create a website, right? NO!!! Many people jump into creating a website too quickly without knowing their businesses well enough and end up spending a lot of time and money. It's not uncommon to spend 3 months or even 6 months to get a website done, and if you don't know exactly what you want for your website, your webmaster can waste your precious money by creating something fancy but not practical.
I've talked to many webmasters in different countries and it's sad to say that many of them don't know what is really required for a business site. Here in Chile, I see many websites are created with Flash and I cannot access them using my iPhone. It's really frustrating when I just want to find out a phone number or working hours of a restaurant or a shop to make an appointment.
The purpose of your website is to tell people who you are, what you do and how you can help your clients. But most importantly your website has to make money. I'm not saying that you have to sell products, but you have to grab your prospects and convert them into paying customers. Whether you are just getting your first website done or you already have one, check to see if you are making any of these mistakes, and how you can turn your site into a money making website.
1. Not knowing who you are talking to
In any business, you have to know exactly who your market is. Are they male or female? Where do they live? Are they married? What is their income level? What is their lifestyle? Knowing your market helps you craft your message and communicate more effectively. It also helps you define your marketing strategy about how to reach your potential clients. Before doing anything, know your ideal client as if you can visualize the person. It will make your marketing so much easier.
2. Too fancy or too ugly
It's true that people judge your business from your website, so if you don't feel like telling anyone about your website, it's time for a refresh! If you are starting up, you don't need anything too fancy. Just get it up quickly. Keep it in mind that your website needs to evolve as your business grows.
If you are a DIY person, you can use Weebly, Yola and Unbounce. These web creation tools are free and you don't need any coding knowledge. I've never tried them, but they seem easy to use and they can be a good start when you are creating your first website.
If you want something more robust, WordPress is the must (use WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com). There are a lot of free templates you can download and customize for your website. You can hire a webmaster to create a template with customized header and design. Once done, it's very easy to update the contents on your own.
3. Domain is confusing or difficult to memorize
Especially when you are speaking on radio or video, your domain must be easy to memorize. Avoid using a dash or underscore because they are difficult to say. Using an alphabet or a number to replace a word such as "B4" intead of "before" or "4U" instead of "foryou" can be confusing. You should consider buying domains that people usually misunderstand. For example, I have both abundantwomen.com and abundantwoman.com, and abundantwoman.com is redirected to abundantwomen.com. Another domain you should consider buying is your name. The best place is to buy a domain is mamikodomain.com. It's user friendly and it doesn't annoy you with a lot of additional options to choose. Buying your domain here costs less than $10 a year.
4. There is no Opt-in form
If you don't know what an Opt-in form is, they are the little white boxes for people to enter their names and emails. Go to www.AbundantWomen.com to see the example. This is probably the most critical component of your website. People who took the time to visit your website are interested in what you do and if you offer something valuable to them, they are highly likely to be your customer. So you must get their names and contact information in order to follow up with them and convert them into a customer. You can create an opt-in form using MamikoEmailMarketing.com. It's an easy and affordable option to start.
5. No compelling reason to opt-in
Nowadays people are bombarded with so many emails that they have second thoughts about giving their email address to receive another email. Who is still asking for contact info in exchange for a "newsletter"? People are too busy to read old-fashioned newsletters with so much text, announcements and advertisements any more. You have to give something valuable and compelling for people to give out their names and contacts. Think about ebooks, reports, audio, video, free consultations or even coupon for discounts and free shipping. Giving a free physical book or CD can increase your conversions dramatically. You can charge a shipping and handling fee or do it for free. If you are spending money on advertising, increasing your conversions can reduce your advertising cost. Give something related to what you do or give them a preview of what you do so that you are attracting only qualified people.

The odd thing is that the Aside link times out, but substituting a different category number works fine. The other types of links also work fine.
I don't understand this and would value an explanation. also, can I modify the form of the link, by tampering with the module? Seems drastic, but I cannot think of another way.

Drum Fill Friday
Drum Fill Friday, With Guest Host Matt Wilson
Drummer and bandleader Matt Wilson is one of jazz's most sought-after players; he's recorded on over 250 albums, not including those of his own three current bands. He's one of the music's great optimists as well, whose energy and good humor (on or off the drum stool) serves him well as a teacher, public radio host or general ambassador. His latest recording, Gathering Call, came out early this year.
We thought he'd make a great Quizmaster, so we asked him to pick this week's cuts. The next day he turned in a list that spans genres from TV themes to reggae and classic big band swing. "Man, this was a lot of fun!" he exclaimed over the phone.
As always, if you know a fill (or intro) or drummer you'd love to see featured in this quiz, let us know in the comments section, or via Twitter @allsongs, #drumfillfriday. Good luck!

Cold Winter PlayStation 2
- Publisher: VU Games
- Release Date: May 11, 2005
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Immensely playable...Easily the most enjoyable first-person shooter available for the PS2. [June 2005, p.74]
The option to use realistic damage will reward all that time spent in the single-player game nailing head shots too. Those of you with a Multitap will have great fun here. [PSW]
The unique features this game has, like the spectacular physics and item creation system, push it past the run-of-the-mill shooters into a category just under the truly elite.
Sure, the story is hackneyed to the point of being a rip-off of just about every spy movie from the past ten years, but the script is great, the acting is better, and the gameplay just can't be beat.
Pelit (Finland)Has the most impressive physics engine seen on consoles thus far, but the game does not take full advantage of it. The action is straight-forward, but engaging, and the whole game has a nice cinematic feel to it. One of the best shooters for PS2. [July. 05],
While visually lacking, this shortcoming never manages to detract from the game's single or mutiplayer offerings. Cold Winter is an altogether solid package.
This unpretentious disc was cobbled together by a self-proclaimed "garage team" in the U.K., and is well worth your hard-earned quid.
The fact is, Cold Winter repeatedly enables the player to do things you just wouldn't expect to be able to do. Big guns even break crates more easily than small guns; such is the developer's level of consideration.
With the exception of a small item collection scheme which allows players to build their own grenades, Cold Winter offers nothing distinctly new to the FPS market. Instead, what it brings is excellent design, good storytelling, and eight to ten hours of entertaining violence to a console that's never had it so good.
Game InformerIt's not "Halo," but PS2 owners finally have an exclusive FPS that is worth bragging about. [June 2005, p.129]
Cold Winter is the type of game you would take home to meet your mother, not too flashy but nothing to be embarrassed about either...just a good time.
By taking the most essential parts of any action game and combining them into one DVD, Cold Winter is a considerably engaging console shooter.
Cold Winter ticks every box on the 'perfect FPS' checklist - except for the one marked 'lasting challenge'. Good, but it should have been so much better. [PSM2]
AceGamezNo first person shooter on any future system should feel like a gun mounted on a camera ever again!
Offers the best FPS experience on the PlayStation 2 with a fluid experience that immerses gamers into a world of conspiracy, intrigue and action.
It may not be the prettiest or the most innovative FPS out there, but Cold Winter is worth a look.
It all seems very familiar, but it's a good gaming experience that FPS fans will gobble up for a little while.
The unremarkable climax not withstanding, Cold Winter offers a consistently exiting Bond-ish shooting experience.
Cold Winter isn't the best in its class, but it's definitely worth playing if you're looking for a solid single-player shooter with a decent online component to back it up.
Play MagazineI really like the look of the game, with its rich color palette and vivid lighting, and the presentation is top-notch. [July 2005, p.79]
The controls are a bit sluggish when it comes to targeting and the game's load times are typical. The game is also a bit linear and the puzzles are not particularly detailed.
Official U.S. Playstation MagazineBuy it knowing that you'll be getting a solid chunk of action hijinks, but nothing more and nothing less. [June 2005, p.92]
The nicely crafted dialogue, which often leads players through each level, is a good extra, as it keeps the story moving at just the right level of consciousness.
Cheat Code CentralCold Winter might look like just another guntoting vigilante/superspy action game and for the most part, it is. But the AI routines, deep story, voice acting and music transcend the usual FPS fare and give you the impetus to move forward.
I think the largest problem Cold Winter has is that it's on the wrong system. If, for some freakish reason, you only own a PS2 and you're a big FPS fan, this is one of the better games that's available on the system. It can genuinely be fun if you're willing to forgive its various flaws.
Cold Winter felt at times like a dark TimeSplitters, almost GoldenEye-esque in feel and certainly deserves much credit for delivering an accomplished alternative that hits the mark enough to warrant a recommendation to those that hunger for a decent PS2 shooter.
This whole thing came as something of a disappointment for me given Cold Winter's focus on being something of a "realistic shooter", and the consistent gaps in AI behavior became really noticeable over time.
Even the audio is a bit underdone, and gunfire doesn't sound different in enclosed spaces from how it sounds out in the open and helicopters may become nearly inaudible depending on which direction Sterling faces.
An abundance of multi-player options adds depth, and 30 weapons ensure battles are exciting.
Cold Winter's visuals aren't all that great and a marker always tells you where to go, but running around dismembering people is the primary focus and it's incredibly satisfying.
Electronic Gaming MonthlyScores with the cause-and-effect physics of a PC game but seldom capitalizes on the unscripted chaos. [June 2005, p.101]
PSM MagazineA standard, almost old fashioned FPS wrapped around a completely forgettable story. [June 2005, p.75]
The ability to find various items and combining them to create new items like lock picks and Molotov cocktails is an interesting aspect, too, though not as cool in practice as it sounds in theory.
Cold Winter is sort of like the "C" student of FPS games. It's good in almost all areas, but doesn't excel in any. If you can't get enough shooting action, its worth a pick up.
Pelaaja (Finland)During the development of Cold Winter the fps-genre has evolved and unfortunately for the most part the game has not. At its best, Cold Winter is like a big budget Hollywood action-film, but these moments are far too rare. The writing is especially bad. [June 2005, p.72]
It's not a bad game, and should hold your interest for several hours, but the things it does well are diminished by its myriad flaws.
For all the nice touches, however, the shockingly poor artificial intelligence lets down Cold Winter badly, and the game is unlikely to offer serious players any real challenge.
Edge MagazineIt's insight into what lay beneath GoldenEye's unforgettable skin is commendable. But the subsequent attempt to update and embellish the formula is, while a gleeful pleasure, not wholly successful. [July 2005, p.88]
Computer Games MagazineThere's a lot of physics to encourage you to turn over tables and throw things, but your time is almost always better spent just shooting. [July 2005, p.90]
The game's a breeze, which might appeal to novice gamers and people for whom achievement is more highly-valued than challenge, but doesn't do it for those better-versed in the art of fragging.

Driver accused of going after runners, cyclists
BARRE A string of reports from runners and cyclists that a driver had menaced them with his vehicle on River Road in Moretown has culminated with a charge against a Middlesex man.
George Fox, 69, was cited Wednesday on a charge of negligent operation and is due in Washington County criminal court in Barre on Sept. 4, according to Vermont State Police.
Trooper Todd Stackhouse said state police in Middlesex had received several complaints about Fox from recreational users of River Road, a popular route for runners and cyclists that is designated as part of the Cross Vermont Trail. Local athletes had been warning each other about the aggressive driver via email and encouraging reports to police.
In June, four cyclists reported Fox had swerved toward them and nearly hit them, Stackhouse said. The cyclists said Fox failed to move to the left side of the road when passing them, even though there was no traffic coming the other way.
According to Stackhouse, the cyclists also said the behavior had been going on for a long time. Stackhouse said he spoke to Fox after that incident, giving him a warning and informing him of the rules of the road.
On July 8, Stackhouse said, he received another complaint, this time from a runner saying that Fox swerved extremely close to her and honked his horn aggressively. The woman also said several people she knew had had similar interactions with Fox.
Stackhouse said he notified Fox of the citation Wednesday. He said Fox has indicated he doesnt feel he was being reckless or creating a hazard.
His side is that there are numerous bicyclists and runners blocking the roadway, Stackhouse said.
According to the trooper, negligent operation is a misdemeanor. If convicted, Fox would have his license suspended and could face fines or jail time, Stackhouse said.MORE IN Central VermontRUTLAND More than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the...

Hi guys,
I'm using WP Wiki and I noticed that by default, the URL is created as /wiki/WikiPageName
Is there any way to change the /wiki/ bit? It's really not appropriate in the context of this site. I've had a poke around in the code and thought that I'd found the answer in line 175 of /controllers/wiki_pages.php:
$wiki_parser->reference_wiki = get_bloginfo('url').'/wiki/';
I tried changing the /wiki/ part to something else, and also the similar code on lines 428 and 479 of the same file. I deleted the plugin from WordPress, then reinstalled it and reactivated it. However, when I created a test page, the URL was still /wiki/ so I'm guessing there was something somewhere else I had to change.
Any ideas? Has anyone done this before?

In the Region/Long Island; 2 Vintage Buildings Become Upscale Fitness Centers
By CAROLE PAQUETTE
Published: May 18, 2003
RESPONDING to an increased demand for health and fitness centers, two national companies are opening their first Long Island facilities. Both are taking space at vintage buildings that have been, or are being, completely renovated after having had a single tenant for decades.
The Manhattan-based Equinox Fitness Clubs, which has 14 sites in Manhattan and others in Connecticut, California and Chicago, opened its first Long Island club in Woodbury last month in a 22,601-square-foot building that had been a movie theater for 40 years.
The California-based LA Fitness Sports Clubs, with 96 locations in six states, including four on the East Coast, is planning to open its first Long Island club next year. It will be in Lake Success at the office complex I.park in 65,000 square feet of a 150,000-square-foot building that had been a foundry for military contractors for more than 50 years.
Both companies say they are planning to open more Long Island clubs. In 2002 there were 1,254 health clubs -- also called fitness centers or gyms -- in New York State, a 34 percent increase from 933 in 1992, according to the International Health and Racquet Sports Association, a Boston-based nonprofit trade organization that serves health clubs in 70 countries.
''Fitness has become an essential part of living, because there is a lot of information that says that increased activity increases life expectancy,'' said Harvey Spevak, Equinox's chief executive. His company is planning to open four more clubs this year, including one in the AOL Time Warner building on Columbus Circle in Manhattan.
The new Woodbury club is at Nassau Crossways International Plaza, a 1.5-million-square-foot office park of 42 buildings, which is owned by the Tilles Companies of Woodbury.
At one time, the area was called Tinker's Pond and a summer stock theater performed in a barn on what is now the Equinox site, according to Peter Tilles, a principal. In 1969, the company -- which had purchased the property in 1960 -- razed the barn and constructed a 12,000-square-foot building and leased it to United Artists Theaters until 2001. Called Syosset Cinema 150, the 1,100-seat theater was a commanding presence at the intersection of two major roads -- Jericho Turnpike and the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway -- and ''for a while was Long Island's largest theater,'' Mr. Tilles said.
The recent $3.5 million renovation, designed by the Greenvale-based Mojo Stumer Associates, was one of two conversions that were cited when Tilles was named to receive the Developer of the Year award presented annually by the Association for a Better Long Island/Commercial Industrial Brokers Society.
The building's conversion was a challenge, said Mark D. Stumer, a Mojo Stumer principal. ''We had to make an interesting facade and make it look like it was never a movie theater,'' he said.
The theater's basic shape -- it has a rounded back, angled sides and a double-height entry -- was retained. The first floor was restructured and the square footage was almost doubled by introducing a second floor, created by flattening and extending the balcony. The brick wall encasing most of the building was left intact and windows were punched into it. A glass and steel curtain-wall facade was added to the front, where the marquee had been.
Last year, on June 20 at 2:05 a.m., ''a date and time designated by their astrologer and guru,'' Mr. Tilles said, Equinox executives signed a 15-year lease for the building, with two five-year options for renewal.
''We were given the date that the leases would be signed and another when the club would open,'' he said. ''It is according to a formula that works for Equinox in running their business.''
THE Woodbury club opened this year on April 1 at 11:45 a.m. Annual rent for the building is approximately $30 per square foot, not including utilities.
Mr. Spevak said the company had been focusing on the Long Island market for many years, and Woodbury's high-profile location was a major factor.
''The response to the Woodbury location far exceeded our expectations and we will be looking to expand on Long Island,'' he said. The original goal had been to open with 700 presales, but the club actually attracted double that amount, he said.
Members are drawn from a surrounding area that includes the affluent communities of Old Westbury and Brookville.
Annual membership fees -- which include an initiation fee of $295 to $495 -- range from $1,500 for access to one club to $2,100 for access to all Equinox clubs. The fee does not include personal training, baby-sitting or spa services. ''We attract the more upscale consumer that can afford to pay for an upscale experience,'' Mr. Spevak said.
The interior, which was designed by the Manhattan-based architects Mancini Duffy, represents Equinox's style, said Mr. Stumer, who has designed interiors for six Equinox clubs in Manhattan. ''Their look is very distinctive,'' he said. ''It is very cutting-edge, very earthy; they use natural materials in a contemporary style.''

Nick Ut, File, Associated Press
VATICAN CITY — Popular pressure is mounting in the U.S. and Italy to keep California Cardinal Roger Mahony away from the conclave to elect the next pope because of his role shielding sexually abusive priests, a movement targeting one of the most prominent of a handful of compromised cardinals scheduled to vote next month.
Amid the outcry, Mahony has made clear he is coming, and no one can force him to recuse himself. A Vatican historian also said Wednesday that there is no precedent for a cardinal staying home because of personal scandal. But the growing grass-roots campaign is an indication that ordinary Catholics are increasingly demanding a greater say in who is fit to elect their pope, and casts an ugly shadow over the upcoming papal election.
Conclaves always bring out the worst in cardinals' dirty laundry, with past sins and transgressions aired anew in the slow news days preceding the vote. This time is no different — except that the revelations of Mahony's sins are so fresh and come on the tails of a recent round of sex abuse scandals in the U.S. and Europe.
This week, the influential Italian Catholic affairs magazine Famiglia Cristiana asked its readers if the Los Angeles-based cardinal Mahony should participate in the conclave given the revelations. "Your opinion: Mahony in the conclave: Yes or No?" reads the online survey of one of Italy's most-read magazines.
The overwhelming majority among more than 350 replies has been a clear-cut "No."
The magazine is distributed free in Italian parishes each Sunday. The fact that it initiated the poll is an indication that the Catholic establishment in Italy has itself questioned whether tarnished cardinals should be allowed to vote — a remarkable turn of events for a conservative Catholic country that has long kept quiet about priestly abuse and still is deferential to the church hierarchy in its backyard.
That initiative followed a petition by a group in the United States, Catholics United, demanding that Mahony recuse himself. So far 5,600 people have signed the petition, according to spokesman Chris Pumpelly.
"It's the right thing to do," Andrea León-Grossman, a Los Angeles member of Catholics United, said in a statement on the group's website. "In the interests of the children who were raped in his diocese, he needs to keep out of the public eye. He has already been stripped of his ministry. If he's truly sorry for what has happened, he would show some humility and opt to stay home."
Mahony, however, has made clear he will vote. "Count-down to the papal conclave has begun. Your prayers needed that we elect the best pope for today and tomorrow's church," he tweeted earlier this week. He promised daily Twitter updates.
Cardinal Velasio De Paolis, one of the Vatican's top canon lawyers, told The Associated Press that barring any canonical impediments, Mahony has a right and duty to vote in the conclave. At best, he said, someone could persuade him not to come, but De Paolis insisted he wasn't suggesting that someone should.
Bishop Charles Scicluna, the Vatican's former sex crimes prosecutor, said it was up to Mahony's conscience to decide whether or not to participate.
"It's not an easy situation for him," Scicluna was quoted as saying by Rome daily La Repubblica.
Last month, a court in Los Angeles ordered the release of thousands of pages of confidential personnel files of more than 120 priests accused of sex abuse. The files show that Mahony and other top archdiocese officials maneuvered behind the scenes to shield accused priests and protect the church from a growing scandal while keeping parishioners in the dark.
Mahony was stripped of his public and administrative duties last month by his successor at the largest Catholic diocese in the United States. But the dressing-down by Archbishop Jose Gomez only affected Mahony's work in the archdiocese, not his role as a cardinal. Gomez has since urged prayers for Mahony as he enters the conclave.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Lisa Hannigan Irish tour of small towns announced
The good people of Cloughanover, Co. Galway can count their lucky stars- Lisa Hannigan is coming to town!
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 30 Apr 2008
The tour takes her to Cyprus Avenue, Cork (June 6); Amphitheatre, Baltimore (7); Sirius Arts Centre, Cobh (8); DeBarra's, Clonakilty (10) and then in July starting with Black Box, Belfast (17); Balor Theatre, Ballybofey (18); Arts Centre, Ballina (21); Campbell's Tavern, Cloughanover, Headford, County Galway (22); Arts Centre, Roscommon (24); Venue TBC, Sligo (25); and the Glen's Centre, Manorhamilton (26).
Meanwhile, Hannigan has been applying the finishing touches to her debut solo album, which is due in late August.
"We've been ensconced in Studio 3 at the Strongrooms in East London working on the mix," reports her trusty percussion playing lieutenant Tom Osander. "Jason (Boshoff, album engineer) is at the helm, piloting the board, with Tom 'Mr.' Maddock assisting. They've been working their magic while Lisa and I sit behind them looking at menus, thinking of album titles and offering mix tips. I've a tendency to request that certain instruments get turned up while Lisa keeps reminding me that the album is not called Snare Drum. Really, Jason and Tom have worked some magic harnessing these rough and tumble tracks into the finely honed beauties we are now letting wash over us. We've got some minor tweaking to do, but by and large the record is finished, save for the mastering, which will happen in a week or so.
"I've not had a better time making a record in my life and feel incredibly proud and honored to have worked with such a great bunch who also are some of my dearest friends. Life indeed is good."
Judging by the myspace.com/lisahannigan previews of 'Lillie', 'Pistachio', 'Some Surprise' and 'Sea Song' we'd say it's going to get even better!

Life long red blood transfusion remains the main treatment for β thalassemia major patients. The development of alloantibodies complicates transfusion therapy in thalassemia patients. Alloimmunization to red cell antigens is one of the most important immunological transfusion reaction and causes delayed type of transfusion reaction. A prospective study was conducted from January 2007 to January 2010. This was a cohorts of 115 patients were selected from regular transfusion group and they were followed for two and half year. They were followed up for the effect of transfusion during study period. There was a decline in patient number from 115 to 96 due to mortality and transfer of patient. A total of 96 multiply transfused thalassemia patients were prospectively included in this study and three consecutive samples collected after every 6 months and investigated for the development of alloantibody to red cell antigens. Tests for antibody screening and identification were performed on preserved sample to investigate prevalence and development of red cell alloimmunization by standardized laboratory techniques by same person at Prathama Blood Centre. A total of 96 patients were included in the study. 63 patients were males and 33 females. A total of five single alloantibodies were formed in five patients out of them four (80 %) belonged to Kell blood group system and one (20 %) from Rh system. It was observed that two (1.92 %) of new thalassemia patients developed red cell alloantibodies during study period. Red cell alloimmunization should be kept in mind in the patients receiving multiple transfusions. In present study, alloimmunization rate was 5.21 %. Mean transfusion duration in these patients was 23.90 days, probably due to presence of alloantibody. RBC alloantibody detection on regular interval and corresponding antigen negative blood transfusion is strongly recommended in transfusion dependent thalassemia patients.

Tthe amount NYCDOT-led bridge projects are over-budget
What Ails Medicaid in New York, and Does the Redesign Team Have the Cure?
CBC's Pocket Summary is available as an app! Navigate City and State finances, search for a particular line item, and check out year-to-year values in an interactive bar chart.
This brief examines why the subway stations of the MTA never reach a state of good repair and recommends how to address the challenge.
The brief is accompanied by an interactive map that describes the condition of each subway station in the system, and an infographic that lists the top ten stations not in a state of good repair by borough.
This policy brief suggests alternatives for taxes on services regulated by New York City's Taxi and Limousine Commission as a potential source of filling the $2.6 billion gap in the MTA's proposed 2015-2019 capital plan. These services encompass yellow taxicabs, liveries, community cars, and dispatch service providers, such as Uber and Lyft.
Riders now pay a flat 50-cent per-ride tax on yellow and green cab rides and an 8.875 percent sales tax on black car rides, which will generate an estimated $250 million in 2015 for New York State, New York City, and the MTA. If trips made by yellow taxicabs continue to decline, MTA revenues will also decrease—unless tax policies are changed. The CBC presents 3 options.
Funding the next five-year capital plan for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is a priority for the New York City region, and fortunately the funding gap has narrowed. The real question should be: how much funding should come from motorists versus taxpayers and commuters?
Current discussions among leaders of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), City of New York, and State of New York over the MTA's late and unfunded capital plan for 2015-2019 center on two basic issues: (1) the size of the plan and (2) the sources of funding for the plan. There appears to be progress in setting a reasonable size, but a more fruitful framework is needed to determine the sources of funding.
CBC Vice President Maria Doulis (http://bit.ly/1MG182F) breaks down New York City's $78 billion FY 2016 budget and the $84 billion 10-year capital plan.

I am currently fighting the wither and am annoyed that I always have the wither affect on me. I tried to dodge the blasts, but I am in the jungle and it's almost impossible to escape. So, is there a way to somehow dodge the projectiles or are you shot no matter where you run and your speed?
I should go hide in a strip mine(1 by 2) and slowly let the wither break through it, while you kill it.

Canada Stocks to Watch: CN, BCE, Shoppers, Bombardier, Gildan
Here are some of the stocks we expect to move in trading Thursday:
Unionized workers and Canadian National Railway struck a tentative deal late Wednesday, narrowly averting a strike that stood to disrupt shipments of crude and grain across Canada.
Communications giant BCE hiked its dividend 6% as fourth-quarter earnings dropped 26% in the absence of a gain that bolstered year-earlier results. Adjusted earnings rose to 70 Canadian cents a share from 60 Canadian cents, a penny better than analysts estimated.
Shoppers Drug Mart said fourth-quarter sales rose 0.9%, while same-store sales climbed 1.2%. The drugstore operator said net earnings totaled 85 Canadian cents a share, while adjusted earnings were 86 Canadian cents. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting a profit of 86 Canadian cents.
Bombardier received a $1.63 billion contract to supply the rolling stock for the Crossrail project, a new train line being built in London.
Gildan Activewear said first-quarter net earnings climbed to 34 cents a share from 29 cents, helped by a 7% improvement in sales. The t-shirt maker said adjusted earnings of 35 cents were a first-quarter record and at the top end of its earlier guidance.

text: Posted January 26, 2009 Wasn't it - Acer told me to take it to Best Buy for service and Best Buy told me that it was most likely a loose connection to the mother board, mother board going bad, or a graphics problem but that yes indeed it is covered by warranty. They also told me that this is not common for Acers, but when I mentioned to the guy that I could still purchase an extended warranty for my computer for as little as $99 and I thought I might do that as extra assurance, he agreed it might be a good thing. Now for the sad part - my computer has to be sent off for service and it could be gone for 4 weeks. We've got a desktop, but who wants to use that. I might just die. I'm on my husband's laptop now.

"The dedicated portable game systems from companies like Nintendo and Sony are still expected to lead the [handheld] market, but it appears growth for these devices has peaked," he said.
"The platforms from Apple are expected to be responsible for the bulk of market growth over the next few years."

When he was younger and smaller, I kinda figured he was bouncing around from wall to wall... I mean, that's what I would do if I had a big, soft space to hang out in. I also kind of imagined him snuggling with the placenta like a stuffed animal or something.
Now that he's bigger, I wager he's either rolling and stretching, or tap-dancing.
Happily married since June 3, 2009.
Mommy's Little Monkey was born on April 3, 2013. :)
I totally wonder that too! Sometimes when he moves a lot in one spot I feel like he's telling me, "Mom, move! I don't like the position you're in." And I always wonder if he likes the music in my car, or if it's actually irritating him.

PP, I wonder the same thing about the music (and singing). Sometimes she goes crazy, other times shes probably asleep.
Same goes for food, is she moving because shes getting all sugared up and excited, or because shes trying to escape?
I also wonder what LO is doing. I know he likes riding, I guess it is the vibrations of the car. He also likes when I am teaching because he gets quite still so I am thinking he is listening and learning.
I do know that every morning, his head is on the left side of my abdomen, which is his favorite spot at night!
I don't think he is ready to come out though! It appears he likes to being inside of me which makes me think he will give me a hard time when it is time to deliver him.
yes! One of my 33 week emails said that he might startle himself from a dream or from a loud noise out here... so now i keep wondering when he jumps all of the sudden what made him do it!

Fans might have thought they got a pretty good look at J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness after seeing the first trailer, but there's a lot more going on in the newly released international version. While mass destruction is heavily featured in both clips, the new one shows all kinds of Benedict Cumberbatch evilness as the film's villain John Harrison. Of course, rumors still persist that the character's true identity is Khan Noonien Singh, played by Ricardo Mantalban in both the original series and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Here's the film's official synopsis:
In summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Star Trek Into Darkness, which opens May 17, also stars Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Karl Urban, Simon Pegg, Anton Yelchin, John Cho, Bruce Greenwood, Alice Eve and Peter Weller.
UPDATE: There's also a new poster.
i think he is a member of khan's crew, but not khan himself
That … was SPECTACULAR. Trailers are truly an art unto themselves.
I heard that he was Garth of Izar, not khan.

Last month we gave you a peek at Ryan Gosling's directorial debut — the fantasy noir Lost River, starring Christina Hendricks, Ben Mendelsohn, Eva Mendes, Saoirse Ronan, Barbara Steele, and Matt Smith. The "modern-day fairy tale" finds Hendricks as a single mother who becomes swept up in the dark underworld of a vanishing city. Her teenage son Bones discovers an underwater town that could be the key to their survival. The film premiers at Cannes this week, and we're getting our first look at a clip from the surreal story.
If this preview is any indication, Lost River is visually striking. The scene is set against an apocalyptic landscape, opening with a shot framed by colorful graffiti. We're dying to know more about the guy with the microphone who is raving about his muscles. And what's in the bag? Could Gosling's film usher in the new "What's in the box?" These are important questions.
"I wanted to make this film because it's a movie that I would want to see," he explained in a press release. "Like many children who grew up in the 1980s, I first approached the cinema through mainstream films. I was excited to shoot this kind of story, but with the language of filmmaker that I've acquired through the years." Way to be vague, bro.
If abstract chaos, fire, DIY codpieces, and running from danger in a sheer panic appeals to you, check out the latest clip from Lost River. Stay tuned for more as we get it.

When in Rome, do as the lovebirds do!
That seems to be Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis's plan during their stay, as the couple are fitting in plenty of romance and PDA while she films a movie in the Italian capital.
The pair, together since late last year, rented a two-person rickshaw bike in Villa Borghese park on Wednesday and rode it to Pincian Hill, stopping for a kiss during their sightseeing trip.
They also enjoyed a romantic dinner date at La Taverna degli Amici restaurant in the center of ancient Rome, where they shared a bottle of red wine.
Wilde, 28, who's in town to shoot The Third Person with Liam Neeson and Adrien Brody, recently said she fell "blissfully, hopelessly, wildly in love" with Sudeikis, 37, following her divorce from Tao Ruspoli.
In the past year, she and the Saturday Night Live funnyman have been spotted together everywhere from Austin, Texas, to New York City.
