Nothing to get too excited over, just biding time until we get a dip far enough to interest buyers.
Today's sell-off extended to the lows reached on Sept. 14. which coincided with a 38% Fib. retracement from the lows of Sept. 3rd to the highs of Sept. 17th.
We gaped up slightly, consolidated, returned to the previous day's close (scalp short entry!) where the selling ensued. Notice how price consolidates for the first 35-minutes, but once the pile has been stacked price just slices through the previous day's low/close decisively. A Fib. extension snapped between my S/R pivots gave a good general level of expected exhaustion today.Remember what to look for to expect a trend day.
Here's a chart of the day and a lesson in when to recognize a short covering squeeze.
The setups I include on this blog are used in conjunction with the 3/10macd and the criteria I ascribe to it as a way to alert me to an existing condition of price. The key concept to take away from this blog is that I try to anticipate what will happen on the higher time frame by using a faster time frame to trigger the trade setup. I do not trade a "system" I use two indicators to clue me in to price conditions. Please read the Disclaimer located in the sidebar of this site. I can be contacted via email at email@example.com
I am always open to questions, comments, or suggestions on how to improve this blog.

I agree. I have a similar system that I use for development purposes and have the shared_buffers sitting comfortable around 1GB. On production systems with 16GB of RAM, I've seen this as high as 12GB. There is talk nowadays, however, that this setting could drop back down to defaults on modern installations and let the OS handle cached memory as it sees fit. In any case, the biggest performance gain I see for you would be setting work_mem appropriately. This is the memory postgres is permitted to use for sorts, merges, hash joins, etc. before being forced to disk. It defaults to 1MB. In my opinion, this is far too low. This is the memory allocated to each sort/hash/etc operation. So for a complicated query, postgres could use several allocations. Even though, I think you could raise this considerably. If your system is a dedicated postgres box, I would take the total memory, subtract that needed for the OS, subtract what you decided to use for shared_buffers, and divide the rest by your 100 connections. So, for you, I see this around 30MB. On my development box with only a few connections, I have this around 500MB and sometime spike it to 1.2GB on the fly before a long running query.

The Treasury is putting pressure on the Department for Work and Pensions to exempt small firms from auto-enrolment, according to Shadow pensions minister Gregg McClymont.
Writing in this week's Money Marketing, McClymont says a controversial report for Number 10 by Dawn Capital chairman and Conservative Party donor Adrian Beecroft, which identifies factors holding back small business growth, proposes removing small firms from auto-enrolment.
McClymont claims the Treasury is pushing for the exemption but the DWP is resisting, although most Government statements allow for some leeway on the issue.
He says: "The word 'currently' is important. It was used by Work and Pensions spokesman Lord Freud in the final reading of the Pensions Bill to explain the Government's plans on whether small firms will still be required to enrol their employees.
"Apparently, Government 'currently' intends this to be the case. In other words, this battle is one which the DWP is not sure it is going to win and it is preserving wriggle room."
McClymont says the expected costs of auto-enrolment for small businesses are manageable and attacks the Treasury for "pandering to special interests".
Under the Pensions Act 2011, auto-enrolment will begin in October 2012 with the biggest firms. All firms will be required to enrol employees into a pension by 2016, although employees will be able to opt out.
The DWP and the Treasury declined to comment.
Clarke Robinson & Co managing director Steven Robinson says: "Auto-enrolment will come as an unwelcome further expense for many small businesses and could push some firms over the edge."

A massive feat of engineering by any measure, the Keystone pipeline expansion project would transport crude oil close to 1,700 miles from "oil sands" in the icy reaches of Hardisty, Alberta, down through the Great Plains to the refineries of Port Arthur, Tex. In doing so, the giant pipe also promises to allay some fears about U.S. energy security: The oil will come from a trusted ally, and its cross-continental path avoids visions of another deep-sea drilling disaster.
But the decision on whether to issue a permit to the project, opposed by environmental groups, rests with the State Department, which has little expertise in engineering or environmental matters. And reflecting the chaos of U.S. energy and environmental policy, the proposed pipeline is pitting Montana landowners against pipe fitters in Nebraska and creating unlikely allies of Nebraska ranchers and chieftains from Alberta's indigenous communities.
On one hand the move to extend TransCanada's existing pipeline - which runs from Hardisty to the Illinois towns of Wood River and Patoka and has a daily capacity of 435,000 barrels - offers obvious benefits. The extension will generate 13,000 construction and 7,000 manufacturing jobs in the United States over roughly two years, according to the company, and could transport as much as 500,000 additional barrels of oil a day. It also could help stabilize electricity prices for rural co-ops along the route.
"Everyone's saying we've got to get less dependent on Middle East oil, and this is a perfect opportunity to bring this oil in," said William Hite, general president of the United Association, the union for plumbers and pipe fitters.
But the crude comes from an area known as "tar sands" or "oil sands," where operators extract a viscous oil called "bitumen" from formations of sand, clay and water. The process consumes more energy and water than most conventional drilling methods, can require clear-cuts of forests and creates tailings that can pollute nearby waterways. Canada has the world's third-largest reserve of heavy crude after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela and accounts for 20 percent of U.S. crude imports.
At least 65 lawmakers - nearly all Democrats - have written the State Department raising questions about the pipeline, while 40 Republicans have written letters backing it.
"When I think of the State Department I think of many things they do well," said Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.). "But I would tell you, siting pipelines is not anything I would think of when I think of State Department expertise."Environmental issues
The National Wildlife Federation's senior vice president, Jeremy Symons, said the Obama administration cannot claim to be fighting global warming while signing off on oil imports from such an energy-intensive operation. "What does it mean when the U.S. bellies up to the trough and says, 'Give me your dirty energy?' " Symons said.
Symons also noted that TransCanada submitted a 2009 market assessment in its Canadian permit application suggesting the extension will raise heavy crude prices in the United States by removing the "oversupply" in the Midwest, where the price has been discounted. The analysis said that by extending the pipeline to the Gulf Coast, with many more refineries and buyers, the Canadian heavy crude price could be expected to increase by around $3 a barrel, giving the Canadian oil industry at least $2 billion in additional revenue each year.
But the pipeline will traverse environmentally sensitive areas such as Nebraska's Sand Hills and the Ogalalla Aquifer, which provides drinking water for 2 million people. Local ranchers and farmers have questioned why the pipeline needs to pass through an area where the aquifer runs just a few feet below the ground and the sandy soil makes it harder for vegetation to regrow.
"We know what it takes to try to maintain the land in a productive state," said Teri Taylor, who runs a cow-calf operation with her husband and son that would have miles of pipeline laid across it. "We are unable to even fathom what it would take to reclaim the land."
An Energy Department-commissioned analysis, which has not been released but has been obtained by The Washington Post, provides fodder to both sides' arguments. The report says the United States can obtain the Canadian crude it needs for the next decade without the Keystone extension, but it suggests that increasing oil-sands imports and reducing overall U.S. oil demand would "have the potential to very substantially reduce U.S. dependency on non-Canadian foreign oil, including from the Middle East."
TransCanada chief executive Russ Girling said his company "has done a rigorous review of the rerouting to make sure that it has the least environmental impact," adding that "we will leave the environment in exactly the same condition where we found it."At the State Department
The State Department is under pressure to reach a conclusion this year on the permit application, which was filed in September 2008. The draft Environmental Impact Statement it issued in April sparked an unusually high number of comments. The Environmental Protection Agency sharply criticized it, saying it did not fully explore the potential environmental impact or the prospect of a more rapid transition to alternative energy that would make the imports unnecessary.
Daniel Clune, the principal deputy assistant secretary in the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs, said State Department officials have "been engaged in very serious discussions with" the EPA and other relevant agencies.
Lobbying on both sides has been intense. TransCanada has run television and radio ads in Nebraska and Washington, D.C., and Laborers' Local 1140 in Nebraska has made more than 600,000 robo-calls to Nebraskans. More than 100 activists demonstrated outside Nebraska's capitol early this month, and the Texas-based Stop Tarsands Oil Pipelines has gotten local politicians to demand a more-detailed environmental analysis.
Opponents such as Bold Nebraska director Jane Kleeb are using e-mail, Facebook and monthly conference calls to strategize with others along the pipeline's route - in states including Montana, South Dakota, Kansas and Texas. They have also forged connections with Canadian First Nations activists through the Indigenous Environmental Network, which has sent speakers to Nebraska to help mobilize opposition there.
While Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton prompted an uproar in mid-October when she declared that the department was "inclined" to grant the permit, officials now say they will not release a final environmental analysis before next month. Once that process is complete, the state has another 90 days to make a "national interest determination" that focuses on economic and security considerations.
"All other things being equal, there would be an advantage in getting our oil from a close ally like Canada," Clune said. "What we're trying to do is make the best decision for the country."

As a standard Asp.Net application you will be able to achieve this through the Global.asax file. Use the following in the Session_Start() method of the Global.asax (if you do not have one in your project you need to create it) to get the client's default language and redirect to your needs:
var lang = Request.ServerVariables[
I hope this helps.
What else you can try is to use the Personalization tool and specify user characteristics on the home page. You can specify the users by Location property and thus display the desired page to them if they fit the criteria.
As the functionality you require is achievable with the Personalization module I would suggest to take a look at our Pricing and Licensing list and consider changing the type of license you are currently using. If that is not an option you could still work with the Global.asax solution I have previously provided.
As the code executes in the Session_Start() method the redirect will be made when the user tries to access the site. After he is been redirected to the proper homepage he can then access the other pages based on the current cultuer (English or respectively Turkish). What this means is that you do not have to place any additional code in the Global.asax file for any new pages you add to your project. It is only important to redirect the user when he first accesses the site to the proper culture (which is already done with the provided solution).

Strange News – Teen Drugs Parents So She Can Surf The Net
Here's one way to get around mom and dad's pesky rules — but I don't recommend it. In Rocklin, California, a teenage female is in trouble after she drugged her parents' milkshakes with sleeping pills after they banned her from going online after 10pm. The girl secretly put a friend's prescription sleep medication in her parents' milkshakes. The parents admitted they found it a bit strange when their daughter offered to buy them the milkshakes. They said the shakes tasted odd and they only consumed about a quarter of them, but it was enough to put them to sleep. Neither awoke until the next morning and didn't remember exactly what happened but suspected something was up and took a drug test. Please understand that drugging your parents for any reason is quite serious so don't try this at home. Both the daughter and her friend have been arrested and charged with conspiracy and willfully drugging the parents.

Bombardier is forecasting continued growth for the business aviation industry over the next five years and is positioning itself, though somewhat cautiously, to take advantage of the market.
Speaking at a pre-Farnborough media event, v-p of business aircraft James Hoblyn noted a number of current market indicators that predict steady growth over the next couple of years. Those strongest markers include a worldwide fleet of 13,000 business jets, whose owners are replacing airplanes on average every six years, and a surge of concept buyers in 2004 and 2005 on the international market. Hoblyn noted that non-U.S./Canadian operators placed 43 percent of all orders last year.
With this in mind, Bombardier believes corporate aircraft manufacturers could deliver 600 to 700 business aircraft–excluding very light jets–annually between this year and 2010. That would indicate little change from the annual average of 666 deliveries between 2001 and 2005 as reported by GAMA.
The forecast is more conservative than the Honeywell outlook released last November at the NBAA Convention. Honeywell predicted some 800 business jet deliveries this year, and an average of slightly more than 900 airplanes a year over the decade between 2006 and 2015. The prognosis Forecast International released last year was even more optimistic than Honeywell's, forecasting the manufacture of nearly 11,000 business jets between 2005 and 2014–an average of approximately 1,100 a year.
Bombardier's research suggests that among the market hotspots, super-midsize business jets will generate the most heat. It's a category in which Bombardier places the Citation X, Falcon 50EX, Gulfstream G200, Hawker 4000 and its own Challenger 300.
Market Heats Up
Speaking of the industry as a whole, "We're riding an up-cycle now," said Jahid Fazal-Karim, senior v-p of aircraft sales for the business aircraft division. The low point was in 2003. The upswing since then, he said, is due primarily to U.S. annual economic growth of approximately 3 percent, an emerging class of wealthy individuals in developing countries, healthy backlog numbers and a strong pre-owned aircraft market.
Fazal-Karim also noted that there are more aircraft models available than ever before, allowing customers to choose an airplane that more precisely meets their requirements. According to Bombardier, there were 20 aircraft models available in 1996, and more than 40 available today. Fazal-Karim did note that more than ever the industry is creating airplanes to fit smaller niche markets.
Bombardier also foresees a growing demand for the corporate shuttle and last year launched a series of aircraft for this market–the Challenger 850/870/890. They are derivatives of the CRJ200, 700 and 900 regional jets, respectively, but have direct operating costs similar to those of the smaller Challenger 605. While market response to the shuttle versions has been "gratifying," Hoblyn said the executive variant of the Challenger 850, priced at $27 million to $28 million typically equipped, has been "an immediate success."
Bombardier picked Lufthansa Technik of Hamburg, Germany, and Midcoast Aviation in the U.S. to do the executive interiors, and at last report Lufthansa already had a backlog of 17 Challenger 850s. Midcoast Aviation has its first 850 already in the shop and expects to do another seven. Hoblyn said the regional-jet production line is holding 10 to 15 slots a year for airplanes that will undergo the executive treatment. Most of the Challenger 850 executive aircraft orders have come from European operators, as has most of the interest in the shuttle variant.
According to Fazal-Karim, Bombardier sees the next big markets for business aircraft in Russia, India and the People's Republic of China. Russia, he said, accounted for 35 percent of Bombardier's European orders last year.
"A couple of years ago, Russian demand was primarily for widebody business jets," he said. "Now, in an improving economy, that demand is shifting to midsize airplanes, and they are registering and basing the aircraft outside Russia to avoid the high import taxes."
While India and China have "tremendous market potential," said Fazal-Karim, there are some obstacles to be overcome. In India, he said, the challenge is in a "cumbersome" import process, and in China, there is a need to open more military airports to civil use. In both countries, the process of getting landing permits is lengthy and complicated.
On the up side, at least in terms of aircraft sales, Fazal-Karim also pointed to the shrinking U.S. dollar on a world market as having a positive effect on business aircraft sales in other countries.
Hoblyn said that if there is a potential stumbling block to business aviation growth over the next five years, it is likely to come in the form of user fees in the U.S. "The airlines are our adversaries in this," he contended, noting that the airlines are vehemently claiming that general aviation, including business aviation, does not pay its share into the federal coffers in terms of taxes. However, Hoblyn said, what they don't say is that of the 35 most active airports in the U.S., general aviation represents only 6 percent of the airports' cost.
Another cloud on the horizon of emerging markets outside the U.S. is political instability. This is particularly true in the Middle East, where political unrest and violence have combined to drive the price of oil to nearly $80 per barrel.

That au natural look is all the rage this summer season, but rocking this simple style isn't easy. Keeping your skin in the right condition to face the world takes a lot of extra attention.
Here are a few tips on how to prime your face so you can show up in style for your summer outings:
1. Watch your diet. This doesn't mean cutting calories or fats…necessarily. But the foods we eat do affect our skin. Stay away from saturated and trans fats, which come with a heaping dose of grease. Opt for foods with unsaturated fats instead. Whole foods, such as vegetables, fruits and whole grains, will also help you keep your skin clear and fresh-looking.
2. Treat acne and blemishes. If you want to wear the nude look, you'll need to clean up your skin. While a healthy diet will help, it's not your only option. Treat impurities with products like Bliss No Zit Sherlock Purifying Cleanser and Toner, and maintain a regular face-cleansing routine to ensure your skin stays blemish-free for the entire season.
3. Try mineral make up. You can even out skin tone with just a little dusting of powder. Plus, you'll reduce that oily sheen that summer often brings about.
Take the time to implement a strong skincare routine so that you can focus on having a little sun-fun this season. That way, you can feel great letting your skin go nude.

Not trying to start an argument, and chrishysell does have way more experience than me. However, for me, thumb on rim = nose down, and thumb on flight plate = nose up.
It has to do with pressure. Thumb back and no pressure would cause a stall out nose up like flight where if you look at a max D drive from someone like avery or jerm they have their hand and thumb ontop of the disc a lot more with a lot of pressure. Works vise-versa though where tons of pressure on the edge of the disc can make for noise down but you loose some power as less force can be put into the flight plate where it is more firm thus creating a larger virtual axis for the disc to spin off of.
Both are right really depending on the pressure given with the them.

Q: I'm looking forward to getting a pet rat as soon as I hopefully convince my parents. They don't seem to understand how sweet rats really are. Do you have any good things I might be able to say to help them give the idea a chance?
Also, I'm not sure how to rat-proof my bedroom. I'm going to get my room cleaned up, as in a full cleaning consisting of a dust, vacuum and all the things to make it surely spotless. But I'm worried about my rat getting into places where I can't get. I have a pretty big bedroom, and it's the typical teenager's room. I have a lot of small places I'm worried about my rat getting to — under my bed, under my dresser, behind my dresser — the possibilities are endless! I won't be able to let my rat out of my room, so I want to make it the safest place for him/her.
Please help me find out all the necessities for keeping my new rat completely safe in a big room.
A: The best way to convince your parents that rats are wonderful pets is by taking them to a local rat show or event. Check online to find clubs or organizations in your area, most will have a calendar of events. If there are no events in your area, look for a listing of local breeders, most would be happy to meet with you and your parents.
If those options fail, look for some good articles or magazines (like Critters USA or Rats, which are available in most large pet stores) that are designed to educate people about small animals. Then have a meeting with your parents and let them ask you questions, this will show them that you've done your research and you really understand what you're getting into. Sometimes that's enough to convince them that you're really ready for the responsibility. Promising to keep your room clean and actually doing it, helps too.
Once you convince your parents that rats (plural, they must, must, must have a same-sex cagemate) are the right pet for you, then you must focus on a safe environment.
Rather than trying to rat-proof your entire room, just set up a large card table or folding table to use as a play space. Place some boxes and rat toys on the table along with your rat's cage, then open the cage door and let the rats play. This gives your rats extra space to play but keeps them confined to a safe area that is easy to clean.
Good luck discussing pet rats with your parents and enjoy your new pets.

'I started kicking, fighting, hitting - anything I could do'
LEBANON, Ore. - Next time, Leslie Hall says she'll think twice about giving people she barely knows a ride home.
Hall and a friend stopped to give a ride to a woman who claimed to be lost Tuesday.
The woman she helped - 21-year-old Larissa Charles - led Hall to Cyrus Road in the Knox Butte area northeast of Albany.
"And then she sees the truck," Hall said, "and she says, 'Why don't you pull over here? I'll ask directions'."
Hall told deputies that when she stopped her car behind the pickup, Charles suddenly picked up the victim's purse and told her, in Hall's words: "You're being robbed."
"And I said what? I said no, I'm not," Hall said.
That's when the 2 men in the pickup approached Hall and her friend with guns in their hands.
"He was grabbing through the window, trying to grab at me," Hall said. "And I started kicking, fighting, hitting - anything I could do to keep my mom's car. I just wanted to keep my mom's car, because that's all I've got left."
Hall said her mother-in-law died less than 2 months ago.
Hall and her friend managed to speed off and call 911.
Charles was arrested Wednesday along with alleged accomplices James Harris and Martin Wilson, all from Lebanon. All 3 face robbery charges.
The robbery survivor hopes justice will prevail.
"Now she's going way down there and she deserves every bit of it, every bit of it," she said. "I hope those other 2 rot in jail, to be honest."

Piper Smithson and Liam Nelson were best friends. That was when they were seven and eight years old. Since moving away from small town Lewisburg , Tennessee , Piper has gone on to bigger and better things in her young, teenage life. She's evolved from a stubborn, mean little girl into a kind and sympathetic teenager. Moving away from that hick town was the best thing that happened to her! Until Daddy loses his job and they have to move into their summer home--which, coincidentally is their old house in Lewisburg, that Piper had no idea about. Immediately, her old, stubborn 'tude is returning with news of the move and only worsens when she literally bumps into Liam, though she doesn't recognize him.
He's arrogant, he's country, he has an annoying accent and says "y'all" and "ain't" all the time. He, on the other hand, falls right back into being friends with her, easily charming her. Underneath his arrogant, cowboy exterior there's something special. Piper just has to open her eyes and see beneath the surface to figure that out. She never claimed to be a fast learner, though.
But there's a reason in everything. There's a reason Piper's father lost his job, and there was a reason he kept the old house. There was a reason Piper found Liam again.

The Madden 13 cover vote has been going on for about a month now and the original field of 64 has been chipped away to the final eight candidates. Fan voters have come out in force casting over 16 million votes thus far, eclipsing the 13 million votes cast in last year's vote, and there's still three rounds to go! Below is a breakdown of the remaining candidates and their match-ups, including my picks for each.
#1 Cam Newton VS. #4 Larry Fitzgerald
Why must I have to say this every week? Fitzgerald has already been on the cover!! Yes, he's a great player, but give someone else a chance people. Fitz shouldn't have beat LeSean McCoy but he did, getting only 54% of the vote. Meanwhile, Cam Newton is still destroying every player in his way, receiving 87% of the vote in the first round and 83% of the vote last week against Antonio Gates. While I don't think he'll get over 80% of the vote again, I do believe Cam gets the largest margin of victory this week.
#11 Patrick Willis VS. #2 Victor Cruz
I love defense, so it makes me pretty happy to see Patrick Willis advance this far after taking out Matt Forte and Maurice Jones-Drew. Winning last week's battle for the big apple, Victor Cruz took out Darrell Revis and now faces Willis in a match-up of NFC title game opponents. I love Cruz as a player, but I have to go with the underdog the rest of the way here. Vote goes to Willis.
#1 Aaron Rodgers VS. #5 Ray Rice
It's no surprise that Aaron Rodgers has advanced this far, but Ray Rice will give Rodgers the best fight he's faced thus far. Meanwhile, Rice beat out Drew Brees with only 51% of the vote in the second round, basically the coin flip I expected. I'd rather see Rice win so the Madden curse smacks around the Ravens, but I think Rodgers takes it in a close vote.
#6 Calvin Johnson VS. #2 Rob Gronkowski
Gronkowski destroyed Jared Allen in the second round getting 65% of the vote, which was expected. What I didn't expect, however, was the absolute mauling that Calvin Johnson put on Arian Foster. Megatron received 73% of the vote over Foster, who had previously beaten Tim Tebow. Johnson has received 92% and 73% of votes in the first two rounds but I'd be shocked if he wins by that much again against Gronk. I'm voting for Johnson, but this will be close.
Fans can make their voices heard at www.ESPN.com/MaddenVote to cast their vote for who they believe should be on this year's cover. Voting for the third round ends on April 11th.
Fans can visit the Madden NFL Facebook page or the SportsNation page join discussions about the cover vote. They are also encouraged to tweet their Cover Vote picks using the hashtag #MyMaddenCoverVote on Twitter.

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Kids
Children with Cerebral Palsy
is it possible that my 6 year old son who has cerebral palsy and cant eat food such as apples or anything hard, could he possibly have second teeth which cant come through because his first teeth are firmly in place due to him not eating hard food
Thanks for the question. Alterations in diet -particularly texture and ability to chew - can indeed affect how teeth erupt and are lost. If your child has a syndrome in association with his CP, there is a chance for extra (supernumerary) teeth. Also the gum tissue can sometimes become fibrous and delay teeth erupting. The best course of action is to have a thorough examination by a dentist. Hope this helps.

SOCCER; German Coach and American Ways Are a Tough Match
By JERE LONGMAN
Published: March 20, 2006
With the World Cup opening June 9, Germany is in a familiar panic as the host country, fearing that its coach is merely a ''Baywatch'' blond, more concerned with his tan lines than with the bottom line of winning a global soccer championship.
Since J?n Klinsmann, a former star forward and captain of Germany's national team, became the coach in July 2004, he has continued to live half of each month in Southern California with his American wife and two young children. This transcontinental commuting has aroused three of Germany's favorite preoccupations -- soccer, the United States and the weather.
A self-described cosmopolitan who speaks four languages, Klinsmann has hired an American trainer, as well as a sports psychologist, and has opened his roster to younger players. These reforms have unsettled the insular and conservative German soccer federation, which appears to want and fear change, said Oliver Bierhoff, the national team manager.
Germany is split between those who embrace Klinsmann and those who vaguely fear an Americanization of German soccer, according to Andrei Markovits, a professor of German studies at the University of Michigan who has written about Klinsmann and anti-Americanism in Europe.
The United States is still considered a soccer upstart here. In the view of some soccer officials, journalists and politicians, whatever New World approaches Klinsmann has learned in America have little application for an Old World soccer power like Germany.
''It's a clash between the new and the old in Germany,'' Markovits said by telephone. ''There is a real cleavage between the left, liberal, urbane, youngish Germany that really likes him and the 'real' guys who go to the bar every night and think he's the worst because he's sort of an intellectual, he lives in L.A. and brings in American methods and married an American wife.''
Particular dread set in March 1, when Italy routed Germany, 4-1, in an exhibition in Florence, Italy. Klinsmann was blamed for everything from poisoning German soccer to grinning too much to undermining the brittle economy.
Speculation even arose that Klinsmann could be fired if Germany were to lose an exhibition to the United States on Wednesday in Dortmund. At the least, soccer officials fear that he will be booed for dropping a Dortmund-based defender, Christian W?, from the national team. T-shirts exhorting ''You for us and we for you'' will be handed out to placate and rally the home fans.
Criticism grew so intense by last week that Angela Merkel, Germany's chancellor, felt it necessary to deflate mounting pressure on Klinsmann. She declared that he was ''on the right track'' and urged him to ignore his critics.
''It's simply sad for a country that is going full speed to their biggest sporting event for the next 50 years,'' Klinsmann, 41, said here Sunday in an interview with a small group of international reporters.
''The World Cup is bigger than the Olympics,'' Klinsmann said. ''It's the biggest thing you can host. And it seems like we do everything possible to be far too skeptical, far too critical, instead of being happy and proud and honored that you have that competition.''
German reporters were not invited to the interview. It infuriates Klinsmann that he is portrayed by some as a beach bum. Apart from pledging to spend most of his time in Germany as the World Cup approaches, he has defiantly said he will stick to his plans ''no matter where home is.''
''I take this job very seriously,'' he said, adding of the World Cup: ''If we win our first two games, everyone will try to jump on our train. But the train will have left already.''
Those unhappy with Klinsmann were surely unmoved by the latest rankings from FIFA, soccer's world governing body, which put the United States fifth, the highest it has ever been, and Germany 22nd, the lowest it has been.
''I think there is a lack of respect for our soccer,'' said Bruce Arena, the American national team coach.
The United States threatened Germany before losing, 1-0, in the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup. Yet Arena said he still sensed a competitive jealousy among traditional powers who felt threatened by the rise of teams from North America, Africa and Asia.
Germany's obsession with the weather, which has been particularly cold this winter, might influence the dissatisfaction with Klinsmann, said Peter Zygowski, a language consultant at the Goethe Institute in San Francisco.
''They are completely obsessed with sunshine and the beach, and when they hear about Klinsmann in California, it conjures images of vacation, slacking off,'' Zygowski said by telephone.
That was certainly not his image as a rapacious goal scorer. Klinsmann scored 47 goals in 108 appearances with the German national team. He played forward for the team that won the 1990 World Cup and was the captain of the squad that won the 1996 European championship.
After a professional club career in Germany, Italy, France and England, Klinsmann retired in 1998 and settled in Huntington Beach, Calif., to work in sports marketing and consulting. He prefers the privacy afforded him in the United States, believing that anonymity abroad will allow his son and daughter to grow beyond his considerable sporting shadow.

Getting Students Involved
Students have many opportunities to be involved in school activities. There are a variety of athletics and clubs on campus. There is something for everyone!
Getting Parents Involved
Research indicates that when parents participate in their children's education, the result is an increase in student achievement and an improvement of students' attitudes towards learning (Caplan, Hall, Lubin, and Fleming, 1997). Parents can volunteer to serve on a variety of committees including School Site Council, PTSA, WASC Focus Groups, Safe Grad Night and booster organizations. In recent years, changes in social structures and increased economic pressures have reduced the time and energy some families can devote to school (enGauge). The district will use more technology, Internet-based tools and applications to improve communication and engage parents. The district has an automated caller system to alert parents about emergency situations and notifications about important upcoming events. Please keep your telephone number up-to-date at your student's school so you can stay informed. Teachers will use email, websites and AERIES (via the ABI Parent Portal) to keep parents informed of their student's academic performance.
Parental Involvement Policy
The Governing Board recognizes that parents/guardians are their children's first and most influential teachers and that sustained parent involvement in the education of their children contributes greatly to student achievement and a positive school environment. The Superintendent or designee shall work with staff and parents/guardians to develop meaningful opportunities at all grade levels for parents/guardians to be involved in district and school activities; advisory, decision-making, and advocacy roles; and activities to support learning at home. This policy is reviewed annually by the School Site Council at each school site.

New tools help job recruiters connect with the right candidates.
By Steve Kaelble
Where do you hear about a great new restaurant in town? Increasingly, through social media. Where do you share that goofy, captioned photo of a cat playing a piano? A social media site, of course. What's the verdict on the new episode of "Downton Abbey"? Your friends on social media will no doubt have opinions and spoilers for you.
Where can you find the right person to fill that new job opening on your team? You guessed it–social media may be just what you need to make the connection. Those who recruit for a living say they're turning increasingly to social media sites to get the word out about job openings and catch the eye of potential winning candidates. And why not? If word-of-mouth is a powerful way to get a message across, it makes sense to plug into the fastest and most powerful word-of-mouth mechanism ever invented.
Consider this: As of last year, 56 percent of Americans had created a social media profile, up from 34 percent just three years earlier. That number jumps to 69 percent when you limit the stat to just those who are Internet-connected. Nearly a quarter of Americans checked their social media several times a day last year, up from just 7 percent three years earlier. People over 55 as well as males of all ages were the fastest-growing user segments, and the important 24-and-under segment is engaging less and less via email and instant message, and more and more via social media. No wonder 100 percent of Ad Age's top advertisers have set up Facebook pages for their brands.
"Social media is becoming increasingly more important to professional recruiting, and recruiting in general," says Jean Phelps, franchise owner with Express Employment Professionals in Valparaiso. "With such a large audience, it's easy to see how networks can play an important role in attracting new talent."
It's all part of the standard operating procedure when a new opportunity becomes available, according to Tammie Carr, founder and president of Talent Source Staffing in South Bend. "When we enter a job in our database, we have buttons–one puts it on the Web, one puts it on LinkedIn, one puts it on Facebook and one puts it on Twitter."
Dan Kesic is president of Business Solution Group in Hammond, which provides recruiting services through Staff Source. The company places candidates in professional, IT, clerical and industrial positions, among others, sometimes on a temporary-to-permanent employment basis, sometimes as direct hires. "Social media can be a huge asset to companies like ours that are trying to reach out," he says.
It's been an evolution, he notes, and a rapid one. "As with every business, things change in the sense of how you do business and what you need to do to stay competitive," Kesic observes. It wasn't long ago that Staff Source found candidates primarily at job fairs, through word of mouth and through help-wanted advertising in the newspaper. "Today ads in the paper don't go far."
Job fairs are certainly still part of the mix, Kesic says, but the use of social media really helps word of mouth take off. "The word of mouth spreads more quickly and you get what you're saying out to a bigger audience," he points out. The key is networking with the right people–or people who are likely to know the right people.
"Networking and referrals are huge, and these are tools we use for networking," Carr points out.
So how do social media sites play into the process? "We use social sites like LinkedIn and Facebook as well as blogs," Phelps explains. "Not only does it help us build relationships with job seekers and associates, but it also allows us to interact with brand advocates who often provide referrals by sharing about our company and the jobs we have available. It gives us an opportunity to share important information about career development and helps us to know what job seekers are really looking for."
"There are normal channels such as including job postings on boards specific to that industry," Kesic says. "You can connect through LinkedIn, you can post and share with Twitter and share with Facebook. You can post questions in a specific group and people will give you feedback."
Carr and Kesic both find LinkedIn to be a good place to start, as it's a social media site geared specifically toward professional careers, not piano-playing cats. It's a prime place to do an initial search for potential candidates, Carr notes.
"We will start off with LinkedIn and try to figure out who's out there," Kesic agrees. "We'll move to posting it and sharing that post on Facebook and Twitter."
Phelps also finds LinkedIn to be an obvious choice, "but with more active users on Facebook, we expect more and more recruiters to utilize Facebook to find candidates in the future," she adds.
Indeed, says Carr, "I have one recruiter who already does a lot through Facebook. That tool has worked well for her."
Using social media can cast a net much farther and wider, those in the business observe, and it also can get nibbles a lot more quickly. "We had an internal opening within our group and tried to see if any friends would know of someone interested," Kesic recalls. "I posted it on Facebook and Twitter, and literally my phone rang in less than five minutes."
"By nature, some jobs may seem easier to recruit for on social media," Phelps notes. Carr's organization often goes after engineers, among other professionals, and has found that to be a good fit for social media recruiting. On the other hand, says Phelps, "with so many people using social sites–a number that is only expected to increase with the rise of smartphone usage–it's really more about using the right site for the job."
How can job seekers benefit from the latest tools? Don't be afraid to use all of them, Carr says. "Anybody who's looking for a job should have a LinkedIn profile with a professional picture," she recommends. "They should build their network and try to connect to people they don't know through people that they do know. Also, solicit recommendations from people. Those testimonials are huge for me."
And, don't just wait around for opportunities to filter in, she adds. "They should go to our website. All of our job opportunities are listed there, and they can submit their resume to us."
Beyond instantly getting the word out about specific job openings, social media services can do for recruiters pretty much the same thing they do for people in general–make friends. "Social networking sites help staffing companies and businesses build relationships with job seekers," Phelps says.
Jaclyn Garner, branch manager of Sedona Staffing in Portage and Michigan City, agrees that relationship-building is a key in the recruitment business, whether or not social media sites are involved. In fact, she says her company does a lot of work involving manufacturing and warehousing jobs, and social media pitches are not necessarily the best way to find candidates for those jobs. "We don't find a lot of candidates in these areas who are heavy-duty on computers," she points out. "We find them through referrals and word of mouth."
And that's where the relationship comes in. "We try to really develop a relationship with applicants and candidates, and keep that strong and engaged," she says. That means taking time for the little things, such as making a personal phone call even to those who don't end up landing a position. "If you take that extra 45 seconds for a phone call to explain why they were passed over, they appreciate it," she says. And that can keep them engaged in the word-of-mouth network, so that they'll be ready to apply for the next appropriate opening or, just as important, to tell a friend about a job lead. "Word of mouth really boils down to providing a service."

THE story of Charles Dickens' visit to a County Durham town was projected on to the wall of its most famous landmark as part of a spectacular sound and light show.
The son et lumiere event, at Barnard Castle, on Saturday night (December 1) was part of a series of events organised by the Dickens in Teesdale group to celebrate the author's 200th birthday.
More than 500 people braved the cold to see the story beamed on to the walls of the town's medieval castle and to listen to a narration by TV presenter John Grundy.
The acclaimed Turrets drama group also performed and spectators were treated to a firework finale. Dickens visited Barnard Castle in February 1838 to research the notorious Yorkshire schools for his novel Nicholas Nickleby.
Mr Grundy said: "It is the first time I have written as well as performed a voice over and it has been a great experience.
"I have a long connection, not just with Barnard Castle, but with Teesdale as a whole. I have visited here for work and for pleasure on many occasions."
The sound and light show was the culmination of a day of festivities in the town. Other highlights included a farmers' market, street entertainment, seasonal window displays, Santa's grotto and the Christmas lights switch-on.


text: Update 23] Roger Morgan - Distin Roger Morgan on SO Quote: We have made an enquiry. Has one year left on his Everton deal. Wanted as reliable cover. Cheap stop-gap. We also like Samba but Arsenal are in for him too and are more likely to pay asking price of around £10m. If we are after one of these 2 like ITK says it would be fooking awesome. Distin is for me one of the best defenders in the premier league. I see a ledley King in him as much as I see somewhere A ledley king in Samba from blackburn. Both are great defenders and great leaders. Distin I believe has been voted EVERTONS best player this season. I wouldnt mind any of these 2 . Just class both. But like the other ITK says if we sign either of them it will hold our youngsters back like caulker. But gallas is pretty old..... and king is fooked everytime. Kaboul is a great backup but to have Kaboul and Distin/Samba as backup would improve our squad even more. I would take any of these 2.

Engineers at Harvard University have created a millionth-scale automobile differential to govern the flight of minuscule aerial robots that could someday be used to probe environmental hazards, forest fires, and other places too perilous for people.. The device is literally one one-millionth the size of what you'd find in your car.
Their new approach is the first to passively balance the aerodynamic forces encountered by these miniature flying devices, letting their wings flap asymmetrically in response to gusts of wind, wing damage, and other real-world impediments.
"The drivetrain for an aerial microrobot shares many characteristics with a two-wheel-drive automobile," said Pratheev S. Sreetharan, a graduate student in Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. "Both deliver power from a single source to a pair of wheels or wings. But our PARITy differential generates torques up to 10 million times smaller than in a car, is 5 millimeters long, and weighs about one-hundredth of a gram." PARITy is an acronym for Passive Aeromechanical Regulation of Imbalanced Torques.

Friday, June 13, 2014 | 8:10 p.m.
A Henderson man was found dead last week, two days after he and his female companion were reported missing while on a 3-mile hike in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the National Park Service announced Friday evening.
James Johnson Jr., 62, reportedly left on June 3 with Christina Montes, 35, also of Henderson, without sufficient food and water for the hike, Park Service spokeswoman Christie Vanover said in a statement. Officials received a call two days later reporting that a body had been found near the Colorado River close to the Arizona Hot Spring trail. Rangers recovered Johnson's body but are still searching for Montes, having found no signs of her at the scene. Johnson's cause of death has not yet been released.
The hike to Arizona Hot Spring is described by the Park Service as a "strenuous" 6-mile round trip with little shade and no cellphone service. Officials discourage hiking there during the summer months because of excessive heat.
Authorities are actively searching for Montes in coordination with the Arizona Department of Public Safety and Mohave County Search and Rescue, Vanover said.
Park Service officials are asking anyone with knowledge of Montes' whereabouts to contact the Lake Mead Interagency Communication Center at 702-293-8998.

Enrique Iglesias Ready to Get Back in the Business of Making People Swoon
That's right. I said "people" and not "ladies," cause having a uterus is most certainly not a pre-requisite for loving you some Enrique Iglesias. These pictures were taken Tuesday at an concert in Los Angeles, where Enrique performed songs from his latest English album, "Insomniac," and he was obliging enough to pose for pictures for fans.
Now, I'm not usually one to be into pretty-boys who wear jeans with fetching little embellishments on the back pockets, but Enrique is quite adorable when he's making the goofy faces. Also, I remember hearing my Aunt Tina playing Julio's "Vincent (Starry Starry Night)" over and over back in the 80's, so I think I may have a special spot reserved in my heart for any member of the Iglesias family through osmosis.
More photos of Enrique Iglesias performing live at Hollywood and Highland after the jump.

Thomas wins local qualifierMay 17, 2012 By Bruce Tippets, Sports Editor
P.J. Thomas of Riverton won the U.S. Open local qualifying round on Wednesday at the Riverton County Club.
The 2010 Riverton High School graduate finished the 18-hole tournament shooting a two-under 70.
Thomas beat a field of 14 other golfers. In order to compete, golfers must have at least a 1.4 handicap.
"There is a lot of pressure because it's not like a normal tournament," Thomas said. "You have to bring your A game the first day. There is a lot of nerves."
Sheridan's Nate Wilson finished second (71).
"My game was pretty good, but I didn't know what score would win," Thomas said. "I thought that if I could get under par then I would have a chance."
Thomas will now go on and play in a regional sectional round in Houston, Texas.
The winner of sectionals qualifies for the 112th U.S. Open to be held June 14-17 at Olympic Club in San Francisco. Riverton Middle School seventh-grader Eaxton Paxton finished the 18-hole round on Wednesday with a 75.
Thomas and Paxton played together in the tournament.
"Easton is amazing," Thomas said. "It's incredible on how young he is and how well he is doing in golf. It will be a lot of fun to watch in the coming years to see how well he does."
Thomas started the year golfing on the Montana-State -Billlings golf team before he transferred to University of Wyoming this past semester to become a full-time student.
"It would be awesome to play golf for Wyoming," Thomas said. "I miss playing college golf."
University of Wyoming golfers in the field were Clinton Boutelle (77), Eddie Stewart (73) and Michael May (72).
"I'm just happy that I had good round," Thomas said. "You can't worry about too much who is playing. You just have to stick to your own game and focus on your own."
Winning round
Thomas bogeyed holes No. 8 and 9. He finished the front nine with a 36.
Thomas birdied holes No. 10, 11 and 12 to get the momentum going in the final nine holes.
"It was good to get on a good start in the back," Thomas said. "I let a few strokes go on the back."
A key hole came on No. 15 when Thomas came up with the birdie.
Thomas made it on the par-5 in two shots.
Thomas finished No. 17 with a bogey to hang on for the one-stroke win.
"I'm glad that I had a cushion," Thomas said.
Paxton's round
"I started off really bad with nerves," Paxton said.
The 13-year-old opened the 18-hole round with a seven on No. 1.
"I just told myself to bounce back after the first hole and start hitting better shots and make some birdies coming in," Paxton said.
Paxton had a 41 on the first nine and a 34 on the second nine.
"I came back and played really well on the last 12 holes," Paxton said.
Paxton delivered birdies on No. 6, No. 11, No. 12, No. 15 and No. 18.
"I was just sticking my irons really close and making my putts," Paxton said.
Paxton was proud of the way he finished the round.
"It was a good up-and-down for birdie on No. 15," Paxton said. "On No. 18, we got the right distance and hit a good shot."
Scores from U.S. Open qualifying round held Wednesday at Riverton Country Club
Thayne Balling, Cody, 79; Bernie Blain, Trinidad, Colo, 79; Clinton Boutelle, Cody, 77; Nathan Green, Green River, 83; Collin Hopkins, 88; Chris Manning, 73, Cody; Dustin Materi, Sundance, 77; Michael May, Big Piney, 72; Easton Paxton, Riverton, 75; Brian Spiva, Casper, 74; Eddie Stewart, Jackson, 73; P.J.

Before heading to the check-in counter, I decided to do some spotting at HKG:
Air Macau A-321-131 B-MAG:
Dragonair A-321-231 B-HTE:
The Wing:
I had a quick snack and a glass of champagne, as I wanted to spend a few moments taking some pictures of the various Cathay Pacific aircraft before boarding commenced at Gate 21.
Four CX aircraft at Gates 1-4:
My flight is departing from Gate 21:
Today, Cathay Pacific's B-777-367ER B-KPF "Asia's World City" will be flying me to New York!
Time to board the flight to JFK! First Class passengers were invited to board the aircraft at their leisure:
Seat 1A:
Today the First Cabin will be accommodating 4 other passengers:
Welcome aboard:
After boarding, the purser introduced herself as well as the two first class flight attendants. The head first class flight attendant welcomed me aboard and asked me what I would like to drink before departure. I replied Krug of course. She returned promptly and served the champagne, along with a hot towel.
She then distributed the amenity kit and Cathay's Shanghai Tang pajamas.
She then came back and refilled my glass of champagne.

Once we had leveled off, the first class flight attendants distributed the menus and wine list:
The head first class flight attendant then asked me what I wanted to drink and returned with my request with an assortment of nuts. She then asked me if I was ready to place my meal order.
Time for an early supper. On Cathay, first class passengers can choose whenever they want to eat and whatever meal service they would like to eat.
For starters, caviar and salmon:
For the main course, I opted for the steamed sea bass, which was quite good.
Nice dessert:
After the meal service, I had a latte, which was served with pralines.
The first lavatories were kept fresh throughout the flight. There are also toiletries such as a facial wash, lotions, etc.
After a restful sleep, it was time for breakfast. I opted for a smoothie with fresh fruit and dim sum:
Cathay offers a great selection of teas aboard.
Over 5 hours until landing at JFK:
After breakfast was served, I decided to do some reading and watched a movie.
Less than three hours until landing at JFK:
As we were getting closer to JFK, I decided to have a snack:
Afterwards, the purser asked me if I was interested in filling out a survey about the flight. She also gave me a deck of cards and a stationary kit.
She graciously accepted my completed survey and gave me a voucher for the duty free. So I purchased a box of chocolates:
I then decided to have a few "Cloud Nines"; which is a signature Cathay Pacific drink.
Initial descent:
On final descent into JFK:
Overall, the service onboard was very good and the flight attendants were very professional and attentive throughout the flight. The meal options were adequate and the portions were just the right size. Also, the beverage selection was adequate. However, CX should increase the choices of wines available in First. Having flown CX F many times, the service was consistent and I will continue to choose CX F on my future trips to HKG.

Certification of Socially Responsible Behavior: Eco-Labels and Fair-Trade Coffee
An intriguing alternative to traditional methods for regulating externalities is the provision of information about firms' environmental attributes. An increasingly important example of this approach is "eco-labeling," where a third party certifies firms' products. This sort of approach can also be used in similar circumstances, for example providing consumers with information on the techniques used to produce the good in question (e.g., shade-grown coffee) or the nature of rent-sharing arrangements that govern the transaction (e.g., fair trade coffee). I present a model of this phenomenon. An important aspect of this scheme is that the product in question is typically a credence good (buyers cannot infer product quality from search or consumption), and hence must rely on a third-party for information about the product. But the very fact that consumers cannot infer quality from consumption implies they cannot infer accuracy about the signal; indeed, the certifying agency may not be able to perfectly determine quality at a reasonable cost. As such, the certification process is potentially noisy, albeit with green firms more likely to pass than brown firms. While it is likely to increase the fraction of green units in the market, the introduction of eco-labeling can either increase or decrease welfare. In addition, expected profits earned by green sellers are likely to be more variable in an equilibrium with certification. The paper provides some casual empirical evidence from Latin American coffee markets as a backdrop to the theoretical results.

An Addendum to E-Mail Newsletter Etiquette
During the 2012 December holiday season I was surprised by the number of B2B and B2C newsletters that continued to clutter my inbox.

text: The nonprofit that owns the Tomales Town Hall is asking for donations to help keep the current restoration going amid dwindling funds. The 140-year-old building, rumored to be the oldest continuously operating town hall in this half of the state, if not the whole state, has recently undergone major repairs—including to the foundation, back wall and heating and electrical systems. But more work is needed, such as the completion of a new stage and an acoustics system (drapes and sliding panels). Board trustee Venta Leon said an "army of volunteers" has done tremendous work over the last decade to bring the building from the "brink of despair," but around each corner lies another project. "The hall has gone from being nearly abandoned to being in use by the community almost every day," she said. "It has been incredibly satisfying to watch that evolve. We're proud of it, and we have lots more work to do." The nonprofit was bequeathed $10,000 from the Cerini family, and although $25,000 of that went to the restoration—the remainder funded the purchase of an adjacent lot—what is now left is too little for comfort. Donations can be mailed to Tomales Town Hall, P.O. Box 251, Tomales, Calif. 94971.

Monday's Mac Gadget
by John F. Braun
IrLink 1.5 ($19.95, 30 day trial)
Cross-platform standards are always fun (at least for readers of this type of column) because it gives you the chance to let different types of equipment communicate with one another. Such is the case with IrDA, a standard for infrared communication between devices which is promoted by the Infrared Data Association. Several Apple computers, such as recent PowerBooks and early iMacs, support this standard. Unfortunately, other devices, such as the Palm VII and Visor, don't. Enter IrLink.
IrLink offers IrDA support for devices which don't normally support it. If you are running an iMac with OS 8.x, you'll need to download Apple's IrDA IrCOMM driver. Otherwise, you can install the IrLink package on your Palm. Once you do, you'll then want to tell IrLink to redirect the cradle to the IrDA driver. You'll also need to tell your Mac's HotSync software to use the Infrared Port.
Now You Don't Need to Use a Cradle!
Once you've done this, put your Palm near your Mac, with the infrared ports facing one another, and tell the Palm to perform a HotSync. If all goes well, in a few moments your Mac will come to life and start the HotSync operation, just as if you had the cradle connected. Don't worry, if you put the Palm in the cradle, it will sync with that instead.
But IrLink does more than just allow previously unsupported devices to use IrDA. It also has a nifty AutoSync feature, where you can tell the Palm start a HotSync operation at a predetermined time. If you'd like to sync only certain data via IR, in order to shorten sync time, you can specify which applications and data should sync via the cradle, and which should sync via the IR port.
IrLink can also communicate with certain cell phones which have an IrDA port, eliminating the need to physically attach a modem to the Palm. Rounding things out is a Device Discovery feature, which will let you identify any nearby IrDA devices.
Take full advantage of the IrDA abilities of your Mac and Palm, and check out IrLink today.

Blair delivers zero tolerance
Car crime will be tackled by a new task force
Tony Blair has unveiled zero tolerance policies as part of a wide-ranging attack on crime.
The prime minister confirmed in his keynote speech there will be 20 pilot "hot spots" where targeted policing will aim to crack down on crimes such as burglary.
He said: "When I announce today that we will be introducing - first in 20 of the worst crime hotspots then across the whole of Britain - targeted policing that has cut burglary in Huddersfield by 30% and crime on one Leicester estate by 29%, don't tell us it can't be done because some of you have been doing it already.
The scheme will initially last for three years and cost Ł32m.
He also pledged to crack down on car crime with a vehicle crime task force, a new initiative in collaboration with carmakers.
Car target
He said: "Today we are announcing an agreement between police, car manufacturers and government on a target to cut car crime by 30% over five years.
He said it was "one of the boldest partnerships in fighting crime this country has ever seen, and done under a Labour government".
"But we can do so much more. From tomorrow, thanks to new laws passed by this government, kids can be picked up for truancy, young children alone on the streets can be subject to curfews, parents made responsible for their children's behaviour."
The decision to make crime a central part of his keynote conference speech was reinforced by this month's visit to New York where Mr Blair met the city's mayor, Rudolph Giuliani, who has also taken a tough stance on crime hotspots.
Mr Blair's moves will be part of Home Secretary Jack Straw's Ł250m crime reduction strategy.
