TelematicsDriving the automobile insurance market through disruption |
Telematics has enjoyed enormous buzz in the auto insurance marketplace in recent years, but many questions remain to be answered. Major insurance carriers are scrambling to better understand telematics and its potential implications for their business overall, as well as for the future of personal auto insurance, underwriting and product development.
Insurance executives can benefit from taking a step back and analyzing the very real and significant business issues surrounding deployment of telematics. In what ways is the disruption good for their companies, and what challenges does it raise? Which aspects of deploying telematics are inevitable, and which ones can possibly be controlled?
Telematics: Driving the automobile insurance market through disruption introduces important aspects of the disruptive potential of telematics and both the opportunities and potential competitive threats it represents. With a deeper understanding of costs and business models, privacy concerns, and regulatory considerations, insurance executives may be better positioned to leverage telematics, proactively and strategically, for competitive advantage.

After gun crime, weapon history takes time to find

I was unsure if this is a good place to post this. In fact, it may be that this deserves to be asked in a Tomcat forum, rather than Spring. In any case:
I have a Spring-based web application (Spring 3.0, Spring-ws 2.0) running inside of Tomcat 7 in a Windows Server 2008 environment. I am using the MessageDispatcherServlet to map incoming requests on http://server/ws to my application.
Recently, a new requirement for communicating with legacy applications has caused us to configure the server with 2 different network interfaces with IPs "10.0.0.20" and "10.0.0.21". Tomcat is set to listen on all interfaces, so the web application has no problem responding perfectly to requests made to either address.
HOWEVER, it seems that with these legacy applications, it is necessary that my web app responds to their requests from the specific interface. In other words, if legacy app A makes a web service request to my application at "10.0.0.21", I need to make sure that the response gets sent back to legacy app A from "10.0.0.21". Right now, Windows either chooses a random interface, or whatever is defined in the routing tables as the preferred interface for these outbound calls. Consequently, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
I have taken a look a the MessageDispatcherServlet class, as well as others, hoping to find some point in the chain that I can subclass to force the web service to respond over a particular interface depending on the initial request, but it seems that it does not go low-level enough, presumably depending on Tomcat/Java to take care of it.
Is there a configuration in Spring that I can use to accomplish this?

France coach Philippe Saint-Andr� has made three changes to his starting XV for this Saturday's Test against Samoa at the Stade de France in Paris.
World Cup finalist Morgan Parra is promoted from the bench, swapping places with Maxime Machenaud at scrum-half.
Both the other changes are in the front row, where hooker Benjamin Kayser and Thomas Domingo take over from Dimitri Szarzewski and Yannick Forestier, who are amongst the replacements as Saint-Andr� keeps the same matchday 23 that beat Argentina last week.
Saint-Andr� said that he viewed the match against Samoa as the most important and potentially hazardous of the three games in the autumn Test series.
"We were the outsiders against Australia, it was 50-50 against Argentina and now we are in the role of favourites," he said.
"We will see if we are capabale of assuming that mantle and once again winning. We are trying to instill a culture of quality and consistency at the topmost level. That is the challenge that awaits us on Saturday."
"We know that traditionally in French rugby we prefer being the outsiders rather than the favourites. Now it is time to step up to the plate.
"We are fourth in the IRB world rankings and Samoa are ninth, so we can hardly consider ourselves as the outsiders this time.
"Samoa, though, are a team who are making giant strides forward. They are tough in the contact area, very aggressive and they have improved in the areas of collective organisation, defence and at the breakdown.
"It is up to us to produce the goods and enable us to make it three wins in a row."
A win over Samoa would give France a clean sweep of their autumn internationals against southern hemisphere sides for the first time since 2005 and ensure that they remain in the top band of four seeds for next month's 2015 World Cup draw in England.
France: 15 Brice Dulin, 14 Wesley Fofana, 13 Florian Fritz, 12 Maxime Mermoz, 11 Vincent Clerc, 10 Frederic Michalak, 9 Morgan Parra, 8 Louis Picamoles, 7 Fulgence Ouedraogo, 6 Yannick Nyanga, 5 Yoann Maestri, 4 Pascal Pap� (c), 3 Nicolas Mas, 2 Benjamin Kayser, 1 Thomas Domingo
Replacements: 16 Dimitri Szarzewski, 17 Yannick Forestier, 18 Vincent Debaty, 19 Jocelino Suta, 20 Damien Chouly, 21 Maxime Machenaud, 22 Francois Trinh-Duc, 23 Yoann Huget.
Date: Saturday, November 24
Venue: Stade de France, Paris
Kick-off: 20.00 local (19.00 GMT)
Referee: John Lacey (Ireland)

Yea looks like it'll probably be April 28th weekend. I hope they made the client available soon so there aren't thousands of people trying to download and install it all at once.
Read this tweet today and a couple more like it:
Our first Beta Weekend Event will be at the end of this month. We have not announced a specific date yet. ~RB2 #GuildWars2
Sounds like next weekend might be out of the question.
I had to download the full client twice for the last two beta events, and at least at that point it was extremely painless to do so. In both cases it probably only took a couple of hours. I'm sure there will be a heck of a lot more people downloading for the next one, but serving up game clients has always been a strength of ArenaNet so hopefully it goes smoothly for everyone. :)
Anyone else getting pretty excited for the beta weekend? I mean obviously as a beta test we are supposed to look for bugs and test junk, but lets face it, we all want to play it :P
Maybe Haelyn should start up another countdown thread for the 28th.
I thought it would start on a friday, and end after midnight sunday. Is it 3 days or two? If 3, then its Sat to Mon?
How were the other beta weekends run? Friday afternoon to Sunday night would make sense to me.
I am pretty sure that they ran Friday to Sunday.
Sardu could probably tell us more.
The last two events ran from early in the day on Friday until midnight PST on Sunday. So basically 2 1/2 days all told. I would imagine they'll stick with that for the public beta weekends, but we'll have to wait and see.
Well, I imagine that we would be hearing today (or tomorrow at the latest) if anything was going to be happening this weekend. They would have to take into account all the people with sloooooow internet connections.
Man, figures it'd be on a weekend I'll be pretty busy on!
Well, word on the street is that it looks like there is another stress test this Friday. If that is the case then the first public weekend event won't be this weekend. The kicker is that if it is next weekend then it will coincide with the anniversary of the launch of GW1 and I might miss something cool in GW1 if I am tooling around in GW2.
Do you think they would do a big GW1 event knowing full well that a lot of GW1 players will be in the GW2 beta? At this point it had better be the 28th...I've already told the wife that I will need some gaming time that weekend.
Well, ArenaNet have dispelled the weekend stress test rumors.
Via Twitter:
To dispel a rather odd rumour, there is no stress test this coming Friday (20th) for #GW2 ^AT
I wonder when they're going to announce the date (at least) for the first weekend beta.
So who else is constantly checking all the outlets on an hourly basis waiting for some sort of timeline? That "sometime in April" tweet was rather vicious in its vagueness.
On a sidenote..Tera has its open beta set for this weekend so do you think that may figure into their holding off till the 27th-29th?
You know what would be sweet? To celebrate the 7th birthday of GW1, ArenaNet uses the weekend to celebrate in game events and then on the 30th launches a week long GW2 beta event.
that would be cool.
They just announced it.
I don't mind, just that on the 27th i have a workshop I wish to attend for two hours. Otherwise, I'll play all weekend.
Finally! Now they just need to post with more specifics about the client and when the servers open.
Yeah no linky provided yet. I suppose they may wait a while longer.
While I am a little bummed that it is falling on the anniversary of GW1, on the hand it is fortuitous that my wife has to go out of state for a work related conference that weekend which means I can't go to work (have to look after our son) and that will give me some free time to check out the game a little.
Well yay for me. I get married on the 28th and we leave the country on the 30th. Looks like I wont be playing much(the wife will be in a hotel room on the 27th so i will have to go nuts then lol)
Kefo, call upon the time honoured, but rarely used, tradition of the Best Man. You stay at home and play the beta, while your betrothed marries your best man.
You get to play GW2, she gets married.
Everybody wins. Hoody Hoo!
And for those wondering, the GW2 Twitter feed had this to say:
@GuildWars2 : You will not have access to HoM, CE or pre-purchase items during the Beta Events. Those weill be available for headstart/launch. ^MK
that is a interesting concept Haelyn. The only problem with that is he is already married and Ontario law kinda frowns upon that lol. Besdies all the tickets, hotel reservations, restaurants are all in her name for Disney so if I want fun in Florida I have to suck it up and miss most of the first beta weekend lol
Well, looks like they will be sending out the download info next week based on the official blog...
I want a full report soldiers as I am still debating this game. Many of you will give me an honest report I know :D
@ Oneeyered
Nothing but honesty forthcoming.. I will probably be doing more WvWvW than PvE however, because I want to keep the PvE unspoiled.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Doesn't sound like Finley will be anywhere but in Packers lineup
Phoenix - If there's any doubt that TE Jermichael Finley will be back in a Packers uniform this season, it was all but eliminated when coach Mike McCarthy talked about his hopes for him in the future.
McCarthy, speaking Sunday afternoon at the NFL owners meetings at the Arizona Biltmore, once again praised Finley and the job he did the second half of the season. After talking about how much Finley had changed after the bye week, McCarthy was asked what he saw Finley's roll being next season, especially given the loss of WR Greg Jennings.
McCarthy said his expectations are high, but his plans for Finley are going to be different. Rather than making him play just about everywhere a tight end can go, he's leaning on simplifying his role and focusing more on the things he does really well.
In a sense, that is a theme McCarthy seems to be employing this off-season: cut down on the number of plays and make those that he keeps better.
"The coaching philosophy we established in the beginning, (it was) less volume and more creativity," McCarthy said. "It's part of our technique and I don't really want to get into that right now because I haven't shared it with the team. You have to watch so you don't do too much. That's an easy trap to fall into in this league."
In regard to Finley's future, McCarthy said he thought the 25-year-old tight end might have put too much pressure on himself after signing a two-year, $14 million contract. He said it was apparent that Finley saw the light at mid-season and just started to play football with no worries about living up to his deal.
After the bye week, Finley caught 37 of 49 passes thrown his way for 441 yards and a touchdown. He dropped fewer balls and ran better after the catch. Missing from his game, however, was a breakout game with more than 100 yards receiving.
He should have been able to better exploit the 2-deep defenses the Packers were seeing constantly, but that might be part of McCarthy's thinking in limiting the ways he uses him. He wasn't specific in what he'd like to see Finley do more of, but consistently running down the middle of the field might be a start.
"Jermichael is still young," McCarthy said. "I think Jermichael has grown up a lot. I think he has a lot of growing up to do. You step back, it's rewarding to see what he's accomplished, but also it's because he has so much in front of him. On the field and off the field.
"He had expectations like we all do get the best of us, I think his individual expectations and then the injury (left shoulder), I really think the bye week he had an opportunity to step away and change some things. He was a different guy. He was focused and productive in the second half of the season."
It looks like he'll have a chance to carry that into next season. Finley is due $8.25 million next year and while there was some thought he might have to take a pay cut, the Packers are comfortably under the salary cap with extensions for QB Aaron Rodgers and LB Clay Matthews the only looming big expenditures this off-season.
Finley is due a $3 million roster bonus on March 27.If the Packers pay that, it means they're serious about keeping him around at his current price.

Coach McDonut likes Finley. Not as much as a dozen Honey Dipped but he likes him.
Like it or not...Finley is going to be one of the focal pts. in the passing game next season.
As the yrs move on, TT has become predictable. He picks the younger guy every time (Finley/26 vs. Jennings/29, Hawk vs. Barnett, Rodgers vs. Favre, Neal vs. Jenkins, etc. etc.).
Seems to be working.
Can Finley put it all together at 26? He didn't do well at 24 w a big contract on the horizon. We'll find out how much he has matured on the field very soon.-
I like the idea of simplifying Finley's job description and concentrating on his strong points.
Please elaborate on his strong points
size strength and big play abilities
sure, he's big and strong. It's the whole catching, blocking, and route running that he struggles with
Stretch the field, force double teams. Having less formations to worry about gives him a chance to work on his blocking.
I also like that hand on the head dance he does when catches his 1 ball every game.
It's called the shark "fin"
finley caught 61 passes last year.
did they play 61 games? -
Did Donald Driver's first down signal bother you too? How about most every other receiver that makes a signal? Or is it just Finley's?
LMAO................maybe he means he played 61 total games so far.
It would be hard to explain that game he had 3 tuddies though. -
Steenbock, Finley didn't have any trouble running routes or catching the ball later in the season last year.
Finley stays a Packer and is a good thing. We need his athletic ability and believe it or not is a very gifted choice at TE. He is 26 years old a lot of years left and I can see him get better. I think its a good move for the Packers too keep Finley and move on for their second NFC north crown in a row.
I can name 8 TEs I'd rather have them him. He's lazy and doesn't know the playbook.
I am sure you can and I bet a lot of people would be able to nit pick at their deficiencies and pretty much say that Finley is not too much off from them.
Finley is young still he knows the playbook if he did not than I can tell you he won't be on the field right now. 61 catches in 16 games is not lazy he started slow but at the end he was one of the key's too our offense rather distracting coverage or making some big plays. Hes what we got and hes here to stay.
Was it a coincidence that he got hot and played good football directly after the Packers basically said he was going to be cut after the season ended and NO ONE would give him remotely what hes making here?
I hope he has a career buttkicking year but i also hope GB wont fall for the career year being the new standard and let him go! -
Good question Milmiricle however I am not to sure whether Finley reads the news paper or not but I don't think the Packers in general discussed cutting Finley ever. The media like JSO pretty much posted an article about the situation. Maybe all he needed the motivation? I don't know? Kinda like in 2010 when an article came out on JSO about the Packers not playing to their full potential and after that the Packers ran all the way and won themselves a Super Bowl.
Maybe JSO needs to post more of those types of articles whenever the Packers find themselves in a rut.
JP, The Packers will be going for their 3rd NFC North crown in a row.
Who's to say the Journal got it right? McGinn makes stuff up all the time. Ever seen a quote putting a name to that story? McGinn hates Finley and was trying to get a story out for some national buzz. Mission accomplished. McGinn got to be on Sport Center.
It kills me that all the geniuses that want to sign every free agent on the market are the ones screaming the loudest about overpaying players that are already under contract.
McCarthy is merely backing up the decision by his boss to pay Finley $8.25 million this season, even though his production never has, and never will, merit that salary.
McCarthy can try to sugarcoat it, but Finley is what he is- a very inconsistent player that will always be held back by his immaturity both on and off the field. Paying him that much money for the production he provides is stupid, especially considering the needs they have in other areas.-
How do you know his production will never merit that salary? Finley is still young and still one of the more atheletic players on the team. Every player has a drought and at the end of last season he showed what he is capable and became a key player on the Packers roster. Finley just needs development in blocking and if he can get better at that we got ourselves a very good TE.
Translation: he's lazy and doesn't know the playbook. This years' Robert Ferguson
Robert Ferguson did well in Green bay as the #3 receiver till he went to Minnisota than he fell off the NFL world
Minnesota has always been the true black hole in the NFL.
lazy is what finley is NOT.
"Finley is due a $3 million roster bonus on March 27.If the Packers pay that, it means they're serious about keeping him around at his current price."
Serious? Ya think? I suppose they could trade him after that, but that might not be wise.
Finley is a Packer. I sure hope he has a great year.-
Me also, I hope this is his breakout year.
i also think if that happens it will embolden his agent and Jmike to go big and not stay home next year
If he has an Average year he is more likely to re-sign with GB.
Look at all the guys they have that you know are getting below market pay. ...................................All of them that are coming up for a new contract.
Do you keep paying Jmike 8 mil a year after 2013?
Who would you keep Jmike or J Jones? It could come down to that.
I keep JJ as it stands right now.....................I would be inclined to pay him close to 8 mil a year (big signing bonus included). I always liked JJ, he's the most punishing runner GB has after the catch in their receiving corps. He's a harder more powerful runner than Jmike IMO.
I feel if GB pays JF big next year, there will be people gone because they can't get the contract in GB. -
I think the translation of this article is that he's going to be on the roster and we are all lighting candles and saying novena's. Have no idea what he'll be this year but are praying.
Anyone recall;
Darron Sharper being literally dragged 10 yards into end zone by Ed Mccaferty?
Chad Clifton being benched for allowing to much pressure on Farve...on national tv?
Our back-up QB, Aaron Rogers, called inept & injury prone, for breaking his leg in training camp?
Point being,sometimes the cream doesn't rise directly to top-give Jermicheal just
one more year,(please?)
If he sucs,I like my crow black & well done..-
Your going to get your way,unless in some fluke of unforeseen luck,we land another TE
He doesn't "suck" but he hasn't and IMO live up to his potential or, what really annoys a lot of fans, his contract.
Anyone recall;
Darron Sharper being literally dragged 10 yards into end zone by Ed Mccaferty?
Do I? I'll never forget it but I think it was closer to 20 yards than ten.-
I remember seeing Adrian Peterson run over Sharper like he was a half-inch speed bump when he was a Saint. Laughed and laughed, I did....
Is he related to Ed McCaffrey, who played for the Broncos?
Might as well keep him now, that way we'll get some sort of compensatory pick when he leaves next year.

Joe Toppe
Staff Writer
Nearly four decades have come and gone since Joe Lesley first opened the doors of his restaurant on East Main Street in Easley.
"Joe's" opened on his daughter's birthday of July 31, 1972, and has since become an institution and tradition of the community.
"It's been 40 years since I first came here, and I have seen so many changes. I don't know how many restaurants and eating places have come since I have been here," said Lesley. "For us to be successful here, it was the people and the repeat business, and if I didn't have the wife that I have, I wouldn't be this successful at all, she is the backbone of our family."
The four decades have seen many changes.
Before it was "Joe's", it was an ice cream parlor, and several businesses that stood alongside the restaurant have been demolished and turned into a parking lot.
"Next door, there was a pool hall, and next door to that there was an Easley Heating and Plumbing, but in 1974 they tore the pool hall and the Easley Heating and Plumbing down and I bought the property and made a parking lot out of it," said Lesley.
In spite of constant change, "Joe's" has remained, and continues to serve as a meeting place and hub for many Easley residents.
"It's been wonderful. The people have been wonderful to us in Easley. It couldn't have been any better," said Lesley.
In honor of the 40 years, the restaurant will sell .72 cent hot dogs (Limit 4) on the 31st and will offer one item from the dollar menu for .72 cents each day of the week from Monday, July 30- Saturday, August 4.

Hairy Bikers' book knocks 50 Shades of Grey off top of Amazon best-sellers list
Last updated at 14:34, Tuesday, 21 August 2012
THE sexiest book to top the Amazon best-sellers list in years has been knocked off its perch – by two dieting bikers.
Dave Myers and Si King, better known as the Hairy Bikers, managed to knock housewives' favourite, 50 Shades of Grey, from the top of the best-sellers list on Friday, with their latest effort The Hairy Dieters.
Sales of the book are fast approaching 150,000 despite the book being first published on August 2 and around three million viewers have been tuning into the BBC show each week.
Dave, from Barrow, who has been holidaying in Austria with wife Liliana, was overjoyed when he heard the news.
He tweeted: "Whoop whoop Hairy Dieters number one on Amazon beating 50 shades of grey....well we knew our food was sexy!"
The book was born after Dave found himself weighing 17st 11lbs, at the age of 55, while 45-year-old Si was 19st 5lbs, and both were on medication as a result of their lifestyles for high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
Speaking following the news Si said: "We've always known our food is sexy but this is mad.
"Sex may be important but the way to a nation's heart is still through its stomach.
"We're delighted and thrilled that people have taken the programme in the spirit in which it was intended.
"You can still have a pint and enjoy your food."
While working on the book and the accompanying show the pair have each lost three stone and audiences have lapped up the concept pushing publishers into the fourth printing of a book that has barely been on the shelves for a month.
Would-be cooks can find tips on how to make low-fat pies, curries and even a range of puddings and cakes.
The book has been cooking up a storm and managed to take the steamy novel off the top spot after just 15 days.
While EL James' novel has been raising eye-brows due to its erotic nature, the Hairy Dieters' range of low-calorie treats seem to have met universal approval.
Dragons' Den star Duncan Bannatyne is among the fans of the latest book and Duncan revealed on Twitter he is set to make his pie-making debut following one of the pair's recipes.
He tweeted: "Tom and I, are going to make the Hairy Bikers' low-fat minced beef & potato pie in our log cabin on Windermere this weekend."
Declan Donnelly of Ant and Dec fame has also tweeted his approval.

I have the book also, and have cooked the Cajun chicken with wedges, and it was really delicious!
Very tasty recipes :-)
Dan, is there a lot of whipped cream used in their recipes?

Altdorf (a novel of The Forest Knights)
"Re-imagining the William Tell legend—without William Tell."
A wild land too mountainous to be tamed by plows…
A Duke of the Holy Roman Empire, his cunning overshadowed only by his ambition…
A young Priestess of the Old Religion, together with a charismatic outlaw, sparking a rebellion from deep within the forests…
And an ex-Hospitaller caught between them all.
ALTDORF, a novel of The Forest Knights
At the end of the thirteenth century, five hundred orphans and second sons are rounded up from villages in the Alpine countryside and sold to the Hospitaller Knights of St John. Trained to serve as Soldiers of Christ, they fight in eastern lands they know nothing about, for a cause they don't understand.
Thomas Schwyzer, released from his vows by the Grandmaster of the Hospitallers, returns to the land of his birth a stranger. Once a leader of men, and captain of the Order's most famous war galley, he now settles into the simple life of a ferryman. He believes this new role to be God's reward for years of faithful service fighting the Infidel in Outremer.
Seraina, considered a witch by most, a healer by some, is a young woman with a purpose. A Priestess of the Old Religion, and the last Druid disciple of the Helvetii Celts, she has been gifted by the Great Weave to see what others cannot. Her people need her guidance and protection now more than ever. For Duke Leopold of Habsburg, in his efforts to control the St. Gotthard Pass, builds a great Austrian fortress in Altdorf. Once finished, the Habsburg occupation will be complete, but the atrocities visited upon her people will have just begun.
Leopold of Habsburg, Duke of Further Austria, stays in the background as his brother vies for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. He knows thrones can be torn out from under a king in moments, and so to protect his family's wealth, he casts his sights on the recently opened St. Gotthard's Pass, which links the Mediterranean to the lucrative markets of the Hanseatic League in the North Sea. Control of the pass will ensure the Habsburgs remain the most powerful dynasty in the Christian world. Only a few sheepherders and peasants stand in his way.
Set in medieval Switzerland, ALTDORF, a novel of The Forest Knights, is the first
book in a two-book series.

Comments about NEW SUN NUTRITION 1008503 FRS® Healthy Energy - Orange:
First and foremost, some of these people reviewing things are out of their minds. It's 90 calories, not 140. Secondly, all these buzz kill freaks that want a quick rockstar high, aren't going to get it from this. It's meant to be consumed and have a sustained, prolonged energy. The whole point into being hydrated by water, coconut water, and supplement it with FRS, is to be LEVEL HEADED, not any highs or dips. True hydration is about staying even. Also, calories are very over rated, it's about what the calories are about. Obviously, a block of cheese at 500 calories, as opposed to a ton of baby spinach leaves totally 500 calories is a lot different. I refuse to consume sucralose, which is FAKE, and man made. Many times zero calorie drinks or foods are often not metabolized by the body in a good manner.

Comments about NEW SUN NUTRITION 1008503 FRS® Healthy Energy - Orange:
You must be kidding. These guys (FRS) overcharge for a product that, in the regular version contains 140 calories per 1 serving. From a nutrition standpoint that is ridiculous. Either get the low calorie version or stay with other endurance drinks that less calories. Also the blend of vitamins and nutrients would only be helpful for true high endurance, strenuous exercise. It will do nothing for the average athelete that a cup of coffee won't do.

Risk-Taking In The Real World
Posted on Friday, July 20, 2012 in Education, Emotional, Financial, How To, Intellectual, Social, Values
The Dark Knight Rises opened last night. He's a brave risk-taker.
But, I'm not a multimillionaire, so I'll never be like Bruce Wayne.
The Amazing Spiderman opened a few weeks ago. He's a brave risk-taker.
But, I'm not going to be bit by a radioactive spider, so I'll never be like Peter Parker.
What kind of hero — what kind of bold, heroic, risk-taker — might you and I become?
Real World Heroes = Risk-Takers
Yesterday I had an hour-long conversation with a university professor who teaches potential risk-takers; she teaches entrepreneurship. It was a fascinating discussion about the challenges of taking great ideas and creating great opportunities.

For the first time in months, there is reason to be optimistic the NHL might return to the ice.
And it could come soon.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said the league made a substantial offer to its players' union on Tuesday. The biggest concession: splitting hockey-related revenue down the middle and not demanding a blanket rollback of salaries.
"The fact of the matter is, we offered a 50-50 share of HRR," Bettman told reporters outside NHL Players' Association offices in Toronto, "and we believe we addressed the concern that players have about what happens to their salaries as a result in this year of reducing the percentage from 57 to 50 percent."
The NHL, which locked out its players for the third time since 1994 on Sept. 16, had previously offered to give up close to 47 percent of revenue.
Players got 57 percent of the league's record $3billion of revenue in salary last season — the final year of a collective bargaining agreement that lasted seven years after the entire 2004-05 season was wiped out because of the labor strife.
Bettman said the league decided to make the offer on Tuesday to hold a full 82-game season.
Even though the first two weeks of the original schedule have been canceled, Bettman said an 82-game slate could be completed if the season were to start by Nov. 2.
If a deal between the union and the league is reached in the coming days — Bettman said the window to work with goes through next week — the Panthers could open at home on Nov. 3 against the Winnipeg Jets. Florida would raise its first Southeast Division championship banner that night. The schedule, obviously, could be tweaked.
The popular Winter Classic held on New Year's Day — this season at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor with surrounding events in downtown Detroit — would be saved if a deal is reached soon.
The All-Star Game scheduled for Columbus, Ohio, could be scrapped, however, to squeeze in more games so the Stanley Cup Finals don't bleed into July.
"If we were to drop the puck on Nov. 2 for the start of the regular season, we could preserve an 82-game schedule for the regular season and play full playoffs as we normally do and be done before the end of June," Bettman said.
Bettman said 82 games could fit into the compressed time if a game was added every five weeks. So far, the Panthers have lost five games — two home contests — because of lockout cancellations.
A compressed training camp of about a week would be all that could be allowed under the circumstances. Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said before the lockout that he didn't think a short camp would affect his team very much. Only a handful of players aren't playing in Europe — and almost all of those players are working out weekly at the team's training facility in Coral Springs.
"We're ready to go, even if there is an audible thrown in there," Dineen said. "If things change up, we're ready. ... Our guys are in good shape. They will be ready to play whenever it is."
The NHLPA, led by former baseball union boss Donald Fehr, held a teleconference with its negotiating team and executive board on Tuesday evening but did not come up with an official response to the offer.
Fehr spoke to reporters outside his offices before the conference call. Fehr said the NHL's offer was for "at least six years" and wasn't a small amount of paperwork to go through."
The union now must figure out what constitutes hockey income according to the league as well as other issues such as free agency, expansion, scheduling and arbitration.
The NHL was represented by Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly at the meetings. The NHLPA was represented by Fehr and his brother Steve, who is the NHLPA's special counsel.
"There were some explanatory documents that we still have to wade through," Fehr said. "The process that we're going to engage in now is to make sure we read it completely and fully, that we understand it."
According to reports from ESPN and TSN, the two sides are expected to talk again in the coming days with a counteroffer expected as early as Wednesday. The league said it is open to talk whenever the union wants. Bettman said he understands the NHLPA has a lot to go over since the NHL's proposal wasn't constructed overnight.
"We believe that this was a fair offer for a long-term deal, and it's one that we hope gets a positive reaction so that we can drop the puck on November 2nd,'' Bettman said.
Bettman also added: "We hope that this effort that we've undertaken today would be successful because we know how difficult this all has been for everybody associated with the game, particularly our fans.''

News: 2010 Press Release
Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner reminded residents who have been evacuated due to the recent wildfires in Kern County that they may be eligible for reimbursement for additional living expenses due to mandatory evacuations.
"Anyone who has been forced to evacuate their home due to the fires in Kern County should check their insurance policies," said Commissioner Poizner. "Many homeowners' policies cover additional living expenses that result from mandatory evacuations - including hotel stays and extra food costs. If any evacuees have insurance questions, I encourage them to call the Department of Insurance at 800-927-HELP."
Many residential homeowners' insurance policies cover what is known as ALE, or additional living expenses. This permits homeowners to maintain their normal standard of living by covering the increased living expenses incurred as a result of damage caused by the fire or a mandatory evacuation. ALE coverage typically includes extra food costs, increased housing costs, furniture rental, relocation and storage costs, telephone installation and extra transportation costs to and from school or work.
Commissioner Poizner also urged all Californians to get prepared for wildfires today. This morning, Poizner joined fire officials in Los Angeles, where he encouraged all Californians to make sure their insurance policies are updated and to conduct a home inventory today. A free home inventory guide is available on the Department of Insurance website at www.insurance.ca.gov, or by calling the CDI Consumer Hotline at 800-927-HELP.
Today Governor Schwarzenegger proclaimed a state of emergency in Kern County, where wildfires have burned more than 2,000 acres, threatened hundreds of homes and required residential evacuations.
Please visit the Department of Insurance Web site at www.insurance.ca.gov. Non media inquiries should be directed to the Consumer Hotline at 800.927.HELP. Callers from out of state, please dial 213.897.8921. Telecommunications Devices for the Deaf (TDD), please dial 800.482.4833.

Stackler (left) of Huntington, and Sidney Horowitz, (second from left) of East Hills, who are congratulated by Board Chairman Charles R. Carroll (right) of Hicksville, as the bank's new president, James C. Dinkelacker of Cold Spring Harbor look on. The two new directors replaced the late William E. Koutensky and Norman C. Godfrey. Medicare 'Carry-Over' Provision Is Explained Doctor bills for October, November, and December may in some cases be counted toward the $50 annual deductible for both 1971 and 1972 under, the "carry-over" provision of the medical insurance part of Medicare, according to social security officials here. The deductible is the first $50 of covered medical expenses accumulated in a calendar year, a social security spokesman said. "Before any payment can Study Finds No Job Shortage For Pros Hundreds of jobs in the professional, technical and executive categories in Nassau and Suffolk Counties and the metropolitan area are unfilled. This was reported today by the Long Island Professionals who said their "job bank" of vacancies nationally is up by more than 500 per cent in five months. During the same period their registration of qualified candidates is up less than 100 percent. Richard Sell,. a physicist, and current holder of tB# routing directorship of the all-volunteer - group of unemployed professionals, attributed the imbalance between job vacancies and qualified candidates to a lack of knowledge of the self-help organization and its work. "We are getting orders in all kinds of industry, trade and service businesses," Sell said. "Our problem is attracting members at the same pace that we find job vacancies. For example, as of last August, we had about 200 jobs to fill. We had only 250 members then. Twenty-eight were re-employed. Our membership now numbers 550, only a 100 per cent increase, against a 50Q per cent increase in registered job vacancies*." Sell said that even with some problems in match i n g p e r s o n n el qualifications to job r e q u i r e m e n t s , the volunteer group has__a betterthan 18 per cent record of placement. More than 95 Long Island professionals have gone back to work in the last five months. "Many unemployed professionals have never heard of us," Sell explained. We have no budget for advertising~in fact no budget at all. We charge no service fee to either our members or employers. Our only request is for four hours of work per week from each member and only while he is unemployed. Our office space and telephone service are supplied by the NY. State Employment Service ;at their Professional Placement Office at 303 Old Country Road in Hicksville: We have the jobs. We heed the people." Catholic Charities Opens Christmas Drive be made by Medicare," he said, "your record must show that you have met your deductible. So, as soon, as your bills come to $50, attach them to a 'Request for Medicare Payment' form and send them to the carrier that handles your Medicare claims." The "carry-over" rule helps the beneficiary who might otherwise have to pay the $50 deductible twice in a :-4iort period of time—at (Continued on Page 8) "No one can be spared from all trouble, grief and heartache. But everyone agrees it is especially tragic to be in trouble at Christmas." With these words, the annual Christmas Family Fund sponsored by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Rockville Centre was launched by the Rev. Robert Emmet Fagan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities. The program, since its beginning in. 1958, has aided many Long Island families stricken by economic, health and other calamities during the Christmas Season. Last year at Christmas time the Christmas Family Fund helped 2,041 families accounting for 12,332 persons. "The money collected in this Appeal each year goes to persons who otherwise would face the probability of having a bleak and unhappy Christmas Season," Father Fagan explained. He emphasized that help is provided by Catholic Charities without regard to race, religion or national origin. "Our only criterion is need," Father Fagan said. John L. Sullivan, director of the Family Service Division of Catholic Charities said that the severe unemployment problem on Long Island continues to render great hardships on some families. Others who are helped through the Christmas Family Fund are aged shut - ins in need of food and care; people struggling to be independent and to stay off welfare with no funds to make Christmas a little different from any other time of the year; large families suddenly beset by severe and fatal illnesses to either or both parents; families victimized by tragedies such as fires or accidents during the Christmas Season. With so many people in trouble at Christmas time, Father Fagan called on the more fortunate families on Long Island "to open your hearts and help make Christmas a little more joyful for those troubled people who might be your neighbors on the block, or perhaps next year you." He added that "God will bless all who give to the Christmas Family Fund keeping in mind the words of Christ "AS LONG AS YOU DID IT FOR ONE OF THESE THE LEAST OF MY BRETHREN, YOU DID IT FOR ME." Mr. Sullivan requested that persons who wish to make a Christmas gift to their less fortunate brothers may send their contribution to: Christmas Family Fund Catholic Charities Central Office 50 N.

Gene Rogers
Special Attacks
Ion Storm
Gene's most basic attack, and also his most diverse. With it, Gene can conjure and launch plasma with great speed as a projectile. The size of the projectile varies, but smaller ones can be fired in succession much faster than larger ones. With a small enough "plasma bullet", Gene can reach a rate of fire of over 1000 RPM. The form and shape of the projectile can vary as well. Compressed plasma, electrical arcs, ball lightning and plasmic fire can be launched as beams, orbs, pulses, toroids or bolts, interchangeably.
Plasma Gimmick
Another versatile technique, with which Gene can create translucent spheres of plasma of varying size and solidity. While the physical durability of these constructs varies by how much energy Gene puts into them, they are universally impervious to energy-based attacks, oftentimes reflecting them without dampening the power behind them.
Nova Impact
Gene's psychic power has passively altered his atomic state to be highly resistant to ionization, decay and exothermic reactions. In other words, he is extremely resistant to heat and radiation, and is immune to his own plasma. The Nova Impact technique exploits this by covering his limbs in plasma to give extra power to his barehanded attacks, and by reflexively launching plasma (a la Ion Storm) into his opponent upon an attack making contact.
Arc Aura
His only ability that cannot harm others, Gene can ionize the atmosphere around him to create auroras, starlight and nebulae. While he can control the color, size and intensity of the gaseous constructs, he has very little control over what shape they take, though that usually makes little difference. Being intangible, these constructs are non-offensive, but can be used as signals, distractions or to dazzle opponents.
Back Story
Unlike seemingly many other psychics, Gene led a relatively normal childhood up to and past the discovery of his abilities. The only thing that could possibly be described as "tragic" in his upbringing would be the divorce of his parents when he was rather young, though both remarried happily and (while he lived mostly with his mother) his father maintained a strong presence in Gene's life.
Gene's life was not much altered from its usual state by the discovery of his latent psychic ability. He continued to be, while not popular, well-liked among his peers with a sizable number of friends and an eclectic variety of interests and hobbies (musical theater, cinema, model miniatures, electronic music, kickboxing, Japanese animation, tabletop gaming, military history, etc.).
When he discovered his abilities around his thirteenth year of age, he shared the discovery with his parents and other immediate family members very quickly. All were very accepting of his status as a psychic, with such claims as "Oh, I had a feeling you were special all along, Gene!" His ex-soldier father took particular interest in Gene's abilities, and took Gene out most weekends to the empty farmland in upstate New York (as they lived in Queens) for training with them. Gene learned from his father military discipline, some basic combat tactics, the practical application of his kickboxing hobby to hand-to-hand combat and Gene got plenty of practice with his plasma-based psychic powers (which were strictly prohibited from use in his home).
When his letter of invitation to the local psychic academy came, there was a bit of discord among his family members as to what he was to do. While his mother was opposed to Gene becoming a "child soldier", his father thought that the Academy was would be Gene's "first steps into a much bigger world". Gene eventually decided to join up with the Academy, hoping to do a great service to the rest of the world with his talents.
Plasma is defined the fourth state of matter; a partially-ionized gas in a highly-excited state. It is found on Earth in a variety of forms, including lightning, aurora and extremely hot fires. It is the most common state of matter in space, as stars (and therefore nebulae and supernovae) are composed of plasma.

Nox Raxis
Void (Kinetic Energy)
Special Attacks
Void Blades - Nox can create ripples in the space around his hands to create razor sharp edges, cutting anything that touches them.
Void Force - Nox can concentrate his powers into a single point on a surface which he can activate at will, creating a single use burst of energy which pushes back, and possibly stuns, those who come in contact with it.
Void Wave - Nox can create a short range "wave," which allows him to exert force on anything within its range, allowing him to defend himself against slow projectiles and impacts.
Void Break - Nox can fire a focused shot of kinetic energy at an opponent, which generally is similar to a punch. Nox's current range is around 5 meters.
Back Story
From the day he was born, Nox was always considered a strange one. Instead of playing outside with the other children, he would stare at the pavement in wonder. He spent very little time with his peers, always with the same blank look on his face. His parents began to worry about him, as he didn't seem to make any friends, and rare spoke, even to them. He wasn't unfriendly, when he did speak, he seemed almost like any other child, but he simply didn't want to. He just didn't seem normal.
And he wasn't. It happened one winter evening. A wayward snowball was flying towards Nox, who was making his way home from school. Without a single word, he swung his arm outward, and the snowball burst into pieces while it was still flying through the air. Surprised at the revelation, his parents tormented themselves for days trying to figure out what to do with him. They finally decided to send him away to the Academy, uncertain that he would be accepted anywhere else.
You can consider "Void" manipulation to be control over a translucent matter that can be bent to a number of uses.
What's with people and there overly-complicated elements? The only other two that aren't based right out of a college textbook would be ice and lightning...
I just thought I'd like to point that out, but everybody wants to be cool with their cool and unique element and such, so it's not really a bad thing.
I'll be busy this weekend, won't get posts up til saturday morning or sunday.
I'll admit, that last one didn't make any sense to me. No idea why you called it "Void" when it's really obviously "Force" that you manipulate. It'd be nice of you to relinquish the word "Void" as it could be used by another player for something more accurate to the word.
Force feels a bit Star Wars-y, which I don't want. I will admit that "Void" is a bit forced, so I guess I'll work on it. For now, I'll just let it sit, and change the name when I think of something better.
Tricia Jones
Special Attacks:
Astral projection:
Tricia can project her soul out of her body and travel for periods of time outside it, much like a ghost, remembering it all when she returns to her body. However, she cannot touch thing's, she goes right through it and leaves her body vulnerable. If she if killed in this form she will remain a visible ghost permanently.
Dream walker:
She can enter dreams at will when asleep, manipulating them and flipping through their memories easier the more she visits them. As she improves on this ability she will be able to do so consciously, scanning them and do so without their knowledge of the intrusion upon their minds. Once in their dreams however, she latches on and takes complete control, able to literally scare them to death, lock them into a coma like state or give them sweet... Peaceful dreams.. Dreams that corrupt thinking... Anyone without a natural born ability to block it is defenseless. Of course until she learns how to do so awake she must be asleep to do so.
Spirit sight:
Tricia can see the spiritual world in her consciousness, this includes the dead who are not visible to the naked eye and the emotions of others in the form of a spirit trail. She can track whomever she wants by following their emotional trail, knowing every emotion they have along the way. Right now she currently has problems with high traffic areas, the colors so bright that she wears special shades to block them out until she needs to track down a trail, this also is a great way for people to lose her and that's through high traffic.
She is able to see images of things that have happened in her dreams, and things that have. She can foretell someones death, important events and make accurate predictions. However, this is a skill that only happens rarely, if ever for her and is extremely unpredictable.
Back Story:
Tricia is a very shy person, while not anti social, too much contact with people makes her uncomfortable and she will distance herself until she has time to calm down. She is recently learning how to deal with emotions, given that the last few years of her life she had nothing until picked up and taken in by the academy from another who had used her to track people, and influence political decisions in her native country however, they had been abusive to her, wanting her only to focus on her abilities instead of having a normal childhood. Having custody taken from her parents who protested the government had their way with her, using her in a multiple amount of situations, forcing her to create a place in her own mind to lock her emotions away so they couldn't hurt them. After a series of events she was drafted into this academy where she was safe however she still is on guard, always watching for the beginning signs of people abusing her abilities for their own gain so she can dissapear again. However the little time she is here, she will open up and learn to live life properly instead of being a empty shell.
Theme song:
I can't think of a fourth power, any ideas?

Well, I thought of it in terms of "exerting a force".
Might I offer a few suggestions? "Kinetics", "Vectors" "Motion" and though you'd have to do a bit of rewriting maybe "Sonic" would be cool?

The ACM Award's red carpet was less than impressive
By: Kristen Adams
Sunday, April 7th marked the 48th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards and unfortunately, the worst red carpet of the season. Between unflattering gowns and downright casual get-ups, country music stars just weren't on their game. We understand that the country music scene has a slightly different vibe than the mainstream crowd, but dressing for your figure and slipping into something a little nicer than normal for the red carpet, doesn't require a lot of flash.
Before we dish on the worst looks of the night, we thought we should share our favorite.
True Blood actress, Ashely Jones, stunned at the ACM Awards in a cobalt blue chiffon Pamella Roland gown. The cut of the dress complimented Jones' figure beautifully and kept the dress feeling classic, while the bright color was busy making a statement. She kept it simple and chic with a Swarvoski clutch.
Now let's check out some of the looks that weren't as successful as Ashley Jones.
Country couple Rory Lee and Joey Martin Feek, of Joey + Rory, must not have gotten the memo that the red carpet is a formal event. Cowboy boots? Acceptable due to the nature of the event. Man overalls? Never okay.
Danielle Peck had the right idea with yellow, but this gown translated more into a big bird feel than fashion forward. The kleenex mountain at the bottom of her gown is overwhelming and makes us wonder how she managed to walk around.
Not to be harsh, but Shania Twain was the biggest fashion flop of the night. This was surprising because Shania has been in the business for years! We thought she knew better than to rock a dress with a tail and pair it with thigh-high boots. Tisk, tisk.
What do you think about the fashion at the 2013 ACM Awards? Share your thoughts with us @_EndlessBeauty!

Scott Geib Photography
My approach to photography is all about living in the moment. I find it extremely gratifying to capture and share that instant with others. Motivated by a creative longing, I purchased my first camera in 1996 at age 38. Having no formal education as an artist or photographer allows me the freedom to follow my own creative path. I take great pride in the fact that my work comes from an intuitive sense of timing, composition, lighting and balance. I strive to tell simple stories through a complex arrangement of reoccurring patterns and shapes within the composition. My photography has allowed me to travel to many wonderful places, but I always come back to Cape Hatteras, NC. The ever-changing environment and extreme conditions of my barrier island home serve as a constant inspiration.
