A Simple Model of Foreign Brand Penetration under Monopolistic Competition
The main purpose of this study is to illustrate, with a simple monopolistic competition trade model, how trade liberalization (i.e., a decline in trade costs) can affect domestic entrepreneurs' decisions between domestic brands and foreign brands, and thus the degree of foreign brand penetration. It is shown that, as trade costs decrease, more entrepreneurs choose to provide foreign brands. However, the impact of trade liberalization (in terms of changes in profitt levels) becomes smaller as more entrepreneurs switch to foreign brands.Download Info

Professional anger and guide Mike Davis picked up his first fishing pole in his hometown of Orlando, Florida, where the swampy surroundings provided ample opportunities for reeling in scaly specimens. After high school, Mike fulfilled his childhood dream of being a meteorologist before serving a combat tour in the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm, and once back in the States, he was selected as a member of the National Weather Service. While his head was in the clouds, his heart remained by the water, and he ultimately decided to make his passion for fishing his life's pursuit. Today, Mike resides in Nashville where he leads guided fishing tours on Old Hickory Lake, helping anglers of all ages and abilities catch bass, crappie, catfish, and the rare yet inedible rubber fish.

Four Tet | RUG213 | Released: 17/10/05
A churning bass-heavy tune, like a washing machine set to queasy, 'A Joy' is, in its own right, and in the context of the album, a striking opener. Impossible drums skitter across an alien jazz terrain and disappear behind rocks, only to come back bigger and more terrifying.
For the vinyl single release however, the bar has been significantly raised. Hebden has created a brand new version of the track using its original frenetic energy as its building blocks, adding vocals from legendary Stones Throw affiliate Percee P, and an infectious, house-tinged hip hop loop to its finale.
Available on limited edition 12'' and 3 different 7'' vinyl, 'A Joy' is given the remix treatment across the formats by Percee P's fellow Stones Throw luminary - Koushik, instrumental four-piece Battles, and Four Tet himself - to impressive effect.

Police say the burglars broke into Ron Hill Imagery in March and appeared to know what they were looking for.
Surveillance video captured their arrival at the business.
"It's hard to distinguish the make and model of the van or even the license plate but we show the van pull up," says Gary Keller of the South Salt Lake police department.
The suspects then knocked out the surveillance camera and broke into one of the doors of the production company.
Once inside, the two suspects appeared to target high end cameras used in their business.
"They knew what they were after because they went directly to where we had our equipment and started to unload our cabinets and put in most of our expensive equipment in there," says Kiyono Streich who works for the company.
She says they took six cameras plus expensive equipment totaling $322,000.
"They knew we were here," she says. "They knew what door to go into and they went right into the area in our office to find those cameras and take everything."
The suspects were in and out. Police say the alarm went off but the suspects were gone six minutes after it sounded.
Police didn't get the call from the alarm company for another hour.
"There's so many nuisance alarms that we need to verify them," Keller says. "In this case it was the real thing."
Keller says if anyone comes in contact with someone selling high end camera equipment for cheap, contact South Salt Lake police.

Banners stuck
I have an iPhone 5 running on 6.0.2 and recently texts coming in do not make my phone vibrate and banners are getting stuck At the top of my screen. If I'm playing a game I will get a banner for a text message. My phone doesn't vibrate and the banner never disappears on its own. I have to pull the notification bar down and the release it for the banner to go away. A reboot fixed the issue at this point but in was wondering if anyone has seen this before

I've upgraded the day of each release so at least as far back 6.0.1. I don't remember exactly when I experienced. My notifications came on time, my banner would just be stuck. I could tap on it to make it go away as well but otherwise it would stay there forever.

Nope. It was a one time weird bug. So far at least. Who knows if I'll see it again. I can't think of any specific thing that was going on with the phone that was different than normal that might have triggered it.

Lewis was a big get for Cincinnati, especially as the Bearcats went through a coaching transition. He was not academically eligible to practice with the team this past season, but he was enrolled in classes. Even if he were a full member of the team, Lewis might not have cracked a deep wide receiver rotation in 2010. Now that he's eligible, he'll compete for playing time with former high school teammate Anthony McClung and junior college transfer Kenbrell Thompkins. The Bearcats have a go-to receiver in D.J. Woods, but the Nos. 2 and 3 jobs are open.

The rugs look good in my kitchen . The proof will be if they hold up , due to heavy traffic area.
Looks very nice under my coffee table on hardwood floor. Stays in place. Has not shown any dirt yet. I got the brown trimmed.
This rug is really nice-well made and heavy duty with a non- skid backing,A great value for the price. Overstocks customer service is simply the best-I have never experienced such excellence with any other vendor-there was some shipping mix up due to the Christmas holiday-Overstock responded promptly and was courteous and resolved the situation immediately.
I love the look of my new rug. The only reason I rated it good is because there were strings loose in areas on the rug. Overall I like the natural look and ease of cleaning, all you do is wipe it clean. It has a nice backing so it doesn't slide around. I have dogs and they don't seem to want to chew it like wool.
A quality rug at a very reasonable price. I'm very pleased. Just what I wanted.

Books donations for Paterson children come from all over North Jersey
"Many people in Fair Lawn are from Paterson," he said. "Some old time Fair Lawnians think of themselves as a suburb of Paterson, not New York City."
Donations also were being contemplated by a librarian in Maryland, a graduate student in Indiana and others who were told of the drive by the New Jersey Library Association.
They had reached out to the association after superstorm Sandy to see what they could do to help libraries at the Jersey Shore. Many of the hardest-hit libraries have yet to reopen and are not accepting donated books, so Patricia Tumulty, the association's executive director, recommended supporting another worthy cause.
"I'm trying to play matchmaker between people who have books and people who need books," she said.
The Walkers in Ringwood turned their desire to donate into a teaching moment for their 7-year-old son, who is too big to read about Thomas the Tank Engine and other characters from his preschool days.
After being encouraged to imagine what it would be like to lose his beloved library, the boy seemed eager to part with some of the books in his bedroom, said his mother, Melissa Walker.
On Thursday night, they sat together and picked the ones he would give away, she said.
"To share the love of reading — I think that's so important," she said.

The Park is close to the interstate and convenient for an overnight stop. We were there in Feb. and the site was Muddy. Would not recommend staying if it has rained recently.

Cypress Woods RV Resort
[ 10/10 ]
A Very Very Nice Resort. The people and the management were very courteous and helpful. We were invited to many activities. Valentines day dinner and dance to a bike ride to a Mardi Gras parade and Cocktail get together. The Resort was landscaped very nicely and maintained. Both pools were very nice and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this resort to any RVer that wants to stay at a high end resort in Florida. Ft Myers obviously needs no review. There is plenty to do in the area and shopping and dining is abundant. Class A's and Fifth Wheel only permitted.

I have stayed here many times and it is now my go-to place whenever I come to Chicago (at least a few times a year). The rooms are always clean and comfy and it's a nice, quiet neighbourhood. I love having the kitchenette so I don't always have to dine out and if I do, there's a little fridge for me to put my leftovers in. I use the CTA to get around and buses and the El are just a short walk away. A lovely place to stay, I highly recommend it!

We spent a week staying in this apartment. It is located in a quiet part of town but everything you need is in walking distance . The lake is only a few blocks away and there is great choice of bars and restaurants. The English couple who run the studios are friendly and helpful and the studio was spotlessly clean.We will definitely be back .

The Luhr Jensen® Kwikfish® Xtreme with Rattle - 15X performs very much like the original Lazy Ike I used as a kid fishing for large and smallmouth bass on the Tennessee river. It's a very effective trolling lure.

Just tip of iceberg about ObamacareOctober 5, 2013While the attention was on the split of House vs. Senate vs. President Barack Obama on Tuesday, a far more momentous occasion than a government shutdown occurred.... notSocialistBig staff meeting at the Golf Club next week about health insurance. Full time (real full time, not ObamaKare full time)employees are offered insurance. I have the feeling the Club will drop insurance for all workers, as it doesn't meet the one-size-fits-all plan ObamaKare requires. Thankfully, there are not 50 full time employees that would require the Club to provide insurance, or pay the $2000/head fine. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » notSocialistLiberalism ALWAYS generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 3 of 3 comments

[The UN] Calls upon all parties in Syria, including the opposition, immediately to cease all armed violence in all its forms; ... Decides to authorize an advance team of up to 30 unarmed military observers to liaise with the parties and to begin to report on the implementation of a full cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties, pending the deployment of the mission referred to in paragraph 5 and calls upon the Syrian Government and all other parties to ensure that the advance team is able to carry out its functions.
Last Monday, Human Rights Watch (HRW) [advocacy website] released a report claiming the Syrian government has executed more than 100 civilians [JURIST report] and opposition fighters during recent attacks. The UN has long called for an end to the violence in Syria. Earlier this month, the secretary-general reaffirmed his call for an end to the violence [JURIST report]. Last month, the UN Human Rights Council [official website] voted to pass a non-binding resolution [JURIST report] condemning Syrian authorities for continued bloodshed and violations of human rights. This official condemnation from the rights body came on the heels of a demand for a cease-fire [JURIST report] by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile] in late February.

Anyone used a roll on bedliner on inside of toolbox?
I've been wanting to do something to the inside of my toolbox to keep stuff from sliding around as well to keep down the noise from things moving around in there. First I threw in some dealership car mats that came with my wifes's car as a temporary fix but that was basically useless. Then I found some rubber matting that is used for flooring on boats and that has done a good job. I still would like to apply a roll on bedliner though to the bottom and sides of the toolbox to try to muffle noises and to keep things in there from banging on the aluminum walls.
Anyone ever done this? Any special prep work to the smooth aluminum? How did you like it? Also, any other alternatives or suggestions?
01-04-2013, 11:13 AM #2Everything that I have read is that ANY kind of metal toolbox has to be sandblasted to completely get the coatings off, I wanted to paint mine black and was told numerous times it would just be easier to buy one that is painted black from the factory. Also have been told the chemical strippers may not work the best as they are not suited for aluminum or stainless steel as that is what most boxes are made of

Also he told me that he really didnt do anything exept for clean it, but im not sure if thats all he did because he tends to bend the truth a lot. But thats all i think you would need to do for a bedliner, or maybe just scuff it a little bit, but im not sure.

02-02-2013, 01:20 PM #10Stop by you neighborhood UPS or Roadway warehouse and ask for a length of conveyor belt. They will have scraps, it makes a great box liner, made so stuff doesn't slide around and wears like iron.

"A (Closing) Scene Of Horror"
by BRADLEY ALAN
(c) 2003 & 2013
Philip and Albert (Phil and Al)…
…are trapped together in a building of some sort. Perhaps a Barn or an Older Storage Room/Locker.
Something like that.
Philip is mainly uninjured, but appears to be pinned into a corner…
…Maybe he just doesn't want to come out of it. Hmm. Nobody truly knows but he, himself.
Albert has a large object crushing his right-leg just above the knee.
Farm Equipment?
Industrial-Sized AirConditioner?
Something large, heavy, and appropriate to the setting that also could have fallen from above and landed on this dude.
They Talk Together.
Philip is doing his best to keep Albert as calm as possible.
Albert thinks he's going to die, and Philip is pretty damn sure Albert is going to die.
There's no way for Philip to move whatever it is that's crushing Albert's leg.
So, As I said, Philip is trying to keep Albert calm.
They've been trapped wherever they are for a couple hours, now.
They're tired.
Exhausted, really.
They've lasted the longest.
They're the ones still standing at the end (except for Albert whom will do no more standing).
They're waiting.
Waiting to die.
But, they're still fighting the good fight.
They're still alive.
They've come this far.
They Talk Together.

When the Bombshell review in the Times is a rave for Julia and for Tom's songs—not for his direction—the tables are turned. Now, with Tom's production City of Angels just a fantasy in Rosie O'Donnell's head, he's eager to collaborate with Julia on "The Great Gatsby," and announce it. Even at his Broadway opening, he's desperate to have another project for people to buzz about. But Julia (also now feeling like a star) doesn't want to be his "Plan B." The New York Times has consecrated her a real playwright. That's just the vote of confidence she needs to say yes when the Manhattan Theatre Workshop's artistic director offers her the chance to do "Gatsby" as a straight play downtown. As if straight and downtown weren't enough innuendo for one limo ride, Julia asks him if she's sure he wants to get back into bed with her again. Well, that does it. Cue the kissy noises.
Tom, meanwhile, deep in his cups, is alone at the bar, with no one stroking his career ego—this is not how he imagined his opening night! When Kyle comes over to congratulate him, Tom sees the chance for another kind of stroking and asks Kyle to leave with him. Kyle should be checking on Jimmy, but he doesn't want to. I'm gonna wait until next week to see how I feel about this coupling.
Derek runs into the girl who accused him of harassment. She admits it was a fabrication and that's enough for Derek to invite her home with him as well.

The examples offered as "successes" (Canada, Germany, Britain, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden) don't answer for why others, such as those that have become known as the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain, et. al), have seen anti-austerity demonstrations and riots in recent days. Mr. O'Leary points out that his successful nations "also provide universal healthcare." Just yesterday massive protests took place all across Spain and one major issue was the partial privatization of Spain's socialized health care system as part of that country's austerity measures. You can not spend your way out of financial collapse. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerOur situation is closer to that of the PIGS at the moment. The combination of the current burden and the "unfunded liability" of our "entitlement" programs are pushing us toward the same economic conditions that are at the root of the failures in several countries in Europe. Contrary to the claim of the final paragraph, it is NOT a "... myth that equal, or at least sufficient, opportunity already exists for those willing to assume personal responsibility." The fact that so many do rise out of poverty and succeed proves that it can be done. The figures of 35 to 45 percent greater upward mobility in some countries for those born to the lowest quintile doesn't tell us what percentage here and there do make the leap. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerTo deliver the message to those who have obstacles to upward mobility, that only government can ensure you have a fair chance is another example of what has been called "the soft bigotry of low expectations". Would any decent parent teach their child to wait for the government's help instead of trying to succeed on their own ? I've asked many people why it is that income disparity is necessarily driven by the greed they attribute to the "haves" and not equally the fault of the "have nots" to not strive harder, and as Mr. O'Leary says, claw their way to prosperity. The reasons may be many and bad government policies are certainly among them. Like the weight loss program, many features of our welfare programs contribute to failure to escape from dependency. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerThese mechanisms create what is called a "welfare trap". The more generous the benefits and the more they are tied to means testing, the less the gain, and thus the less incentive, to move from welfare to work. Those trapped in the welfare sysem generally only qualify for low wage and unskilled work. If one loses enough of those free benefits, along with the costs associated to take a job, and ends up with just a small percentage gain, they are likely to weigh the value of working for so little improvement. Other policies and activism has had perverse effects also. The constant class warfare rhetoric of the far left and antagonisms of labor vs. business does not endear the investors or job creators to the American work force. Along with costly over-regulation these policies make outsourcing jobs and factories to foreign countries more attractive. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerThe analogy to a weight loss program does not seem to add much to the point of the column. Ultimately, only personal responsibility and effort can result in one achieving the goal of weight loss. These programs have a long history of questionable practices and promises. The warnings to consumers have been around for decades. The analogy seems peculiar also in that it is not so different from the dynamics of welfare. It is "personal failure" that leads one into both programs and the attraction is a quick and easy fix to a problem. There is no substitute for personal responsibility, and only personal responsibility and effort will get one out of either problem. Sadly, both have become growth industries and both share the fault of being unproductive. They only address symptoms of deeper and largely "personal" problems. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerFinally, we shouldn't ignore the contribution America makes to these other countries that seem to have better social welfare systems. America has, in the past, and still today underwritten a large share of their national defense needs. A column appearing today from Pat Buchanan once again raises the question of how long America can afford to continue to do so. If America has to withdraw from that traditional role, what will the effect be on those countries of Europe, those cited by Mr. O'Leary, and more so those already in economic trouble, of having to devote a significant portion of their GDP to a new European defense structure ? 3 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » realitycheckAll I want to know is what happened to Vince. He deserves a big pat on the back for realizing that IT IS INDEED all about "Personal Responsibility". I suggest that Sean O'Leary visit some of the countries mentioned so he can experience a culture of "Personal Responsibility" vs. a culture of " It's Owed to Me". Also the people of those countries would never mention allow the dumbing down of their culture as is happening in the USA. Berlin is thriving,Detroit is rotting. 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianWell Im so sure that the worlds security is gonna continue with this "new" post American America. Why just the other day Detroit...oh yeh, theyre bankrupt. Now their moral sense matches their bottom line. 1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianGreat quote there Gooey. Winston Churchill was a bigot. Wanna reconsider. Cheers. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » realitycheck"A fellow named Vince" I once knew a man from Boston who traded his Ford for an Austin.............. Maybe the guest writer can use that to start his next column. It will at least generate some interest because the rest of it will most likely be as meaningless as this one. 0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ContraryOneCapitalism depends on a poor under-class to perform the needed, but unpleasant, chores. Many individuals, due to physical or mental deficiencies, are unable to fully participate in a modern society. Most people who have IQs 10% below average are, through no fault of their own, unable to acquire the skills necessary to fully support themselves. I refer to employment skills as well as life skills. It appears that liberal Democrats recognize this and want to provide for these people. It appears that conservative Republicans want these people to fare for themselves. Also, there are no lifetime welfare programs, although I think there should be programs to guide the below average through life. By supporting people early and often, we may save the cost of caring for millions of them in jail. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ContraryOneFrom Meyerson in Wash Post, after he discusses the failures of austerity in Europe. "The United States isn't immune to Europe's madness. The sequester slated to begin taking effect Friday is a particularly mindless form of an already stupid policy, poised to inflict a kind of blindfolded austerity at a time when unemployment remains high. Republican opponents of government spending, not to mention tea party activists, like to think of themselves as true-blue Americans while disparaging the Democrats as Euro-socialists. But it's the Republicans who are embracing Europe's failed economics while Democrats attempt to adhere to the American success story of the New Deal. Republicans might want to bone up on American history; it contains all kinds of valuable lessons." 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianEurope hasent necessarily been that austere my friend. With 16,500,000,000,000 trillion in debt it is financial bigotry to suggest that we should spend more to save. Where is the guarantee that Liberal wont spend any MORE Tax/Revenue that comes in? You have to admit that you have a spending problem before you start the healing. I hope leftists dont realise that. This is getting exciting. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerContrary - "Most people who have IQs 10% below average are, through no fault of their own, unable to acquire the skills necessary to fully support themselves. I refer to employment skills as well as life skills." This is just the attitude I mentioned below that has been called "the soft bigotry of low expectations". As a student of psychology Contrary, you should be aware of the perverse effect of telling people that they cannot succeed. I believe there is a name for it in psychology. Do you remember what that is called ? "The United States isn't immune to Europe's madness." Had there been a stronger opposition to the socialists is those countries that drove their debt far above their GDP, they might have avoided having to go to th World Bank and IMF and make concessions dictated to them by a bunch of unelected transnationalists. 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianCOntrast:"no fault of their own, unable to acquire the skills necessary" What that really means is "they need us and thus we need funding". Gubment is an industry that needs dependency. Talk about sick. 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ContraryOneKalva, it is because I have studied Psychology that I can make such statements with confidence. Most of the people who work at Walmart could not earn a degree in engineering no matter how hard they worked. Many of them are doing the best they can and should be admired for it. If they are working, obeying the law, then they deserve a little help if needed. Food stamps, Medicare, Earned Income Tax Credit are all programs I support. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » ContraryOneAnd just as our fellow humans at the bottom of the evolutionary scale deserve our help, those at the top should expect, and be required, to help. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » KalvaChomerThere are probably a lot of people working at Walmart with degrees, and not just in management. Thanks to the suppressive policies of leftist big government and anti-capitalist demagoguey of a century or more, our market system is so bogged down in taxes, mandates and overregulation that capital and jobs have left for greener pastures. Flipping burgers and greeting customers at Walmart are the future for our college grads and the ones displaced just become wards of the welfare state. But I was curiuos when I asked if you recall the name of the effect I spoke of in psychology. I guess if you don't know, I'll have to go back to the books and research it. 1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 25 of 37 comments Show More Comments

The Baltimore Grand Prix is this weekend, and, as we've discussed in the magazine, a lot is riding on the race for Baltimore.
And if you're curious to check out the races, you might be happy to know that the whole thing is very family friendly. Kids two and under get in free and older kids can get discounted tickets (grounds admissions tickets start at $15, and there is FREE admission to the paddock on Friday, which kids should love).
Plus there are a ton of kids activities at and around the races. Most are centered around the Family Fun Zone, which includes the Hersheypark Road Tour, with games and characters from the park. The RAACE Foundation has a giant wheel to spin for prizes, plus a big wheel racetrack (pictured!), where kids in three age groups can compete for prizes. Also, Port Discovery will have booths where kids can create their own race cars, among other things. The Family Fun Zone will be located on the east end of the festival grounds, by the Charles St. entrance to the Convention Center.
And, of course, there are the real race cars whizzing by, which are likely to be the greatest attraction for the kids and grown-ups alike—especially the grown-ups fantasizing about making it from I-83 to Camden Yards in under one minute...

Open thread tracking live second half action between UCLA and Washington State in Pullman.
Bruins Nation's morning college football open thread and Bruin Bites round-up of the various bits and pieces from around the UCLA-iverse.
After destroying Arizona, UCLA's defensive numbers are looking good. But the Bruins still have three big games to play and our clobberin' of the 'Cats means nothing if UCLA plays down to Wazzu or beat Southern Cal.
UCLA is now ranked higher than the glorified community college/football school across town for the first time in more than a decade. The players and Bruin fans should ignore the hyper because we still have ways to go.

Orange-Rosemary Cornbread Madeleines
This delicate Southern twist on the traditional French sponge cake is one of our favorite hostess gifts. Light and airy, and not too sweet, they'd have Proust swooning "Lawdamercy."
Yield: Makes 4 dozen
More From Southern Living
Recipe Time
Hands On:
10 Minutes
1 Hour, 14 Minutes
- 2 cups self-rising white cornmeal mix
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together cornmeal mix, flour, 1/4 cup sugar, orange zest, and rosemary in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk together just until blended. Spoon batter into lightly greased shiny madeleine pans, filling three-fourths full. Bake, in batches, 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately. Serve hot, or cool completely on wire racks (about 20 minutes), and freeze in zip-top plastic freezer bags up to 1 month. To serve, arrange desired amount of madeleines on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 5 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
The traditional shiny heavy-gauge, tinned steel madeleine pan, which makes one dozen 3- x 2-inch madeleines, yields the prettiest results. (Dark nonstick versions tend to over-brown.) Look for shiny pans in bake shops, or order online from bakeandcookco.com ($17.95) or amazon.com. To prevent over-browning if you do use a dark nonstick madeleine pan, wrap the bottom of the pan with a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil, shiny side out.

Marketing Sherpa To No Longer Publish Buyer's Guides for SEO and Paid Search
Lee Odden is reporting that Marketing Sherpa has no plans to publish future guides to selecting SEO and SEM firms. They have been publishing the guides for the past five years, initially dealing with SEO but then later launching a separate guide for paid search. Historically, the guides have not only listed firms offering SEO/SEM services but also provided practical advice on what search marketing is as well as advice on how to select a firm. Anne Holland confirmed that future guides would not be published due to the inherent difficulty in providing qualitative evaluations of each SEO and SEM service as well as the fact that they will be focusing more on their Benchmark Guides.

Re: Cactus League 2/28/13 Split Squad Rox/Snakes
Reds take on Barry Zito and the WC San Francisco Giants. Reds will counter with Bronson Arroyo. How often will you see a matchup in which neither starter will touch 90? Reds go for their (meaningless) fourth in a row.
Bronson pitches a 1-2-3 top of the first. Choo grounds out to start the proceedings for the Reds. Cozart doubles and Soto singles to produce a run. Ludwick whiffs. Bruce grounds to second. 1-0 Reds. Arroyo starts the second with back-to-back strike outs. A single, stolen base and opposite field double tie things up at 1. Old buddy Wilson Valdez sends one deep to the pitcher's mound (the more things change....) but Bronson throws it over the head of Soto. Giants lead 2-1. Quiroz swings and misses. Top of the second is in the books. Grounder to second and the Giants third is in the books in scoreless fashion (copying Cowboy). Zito comes back from a 3-0 count to strike out the Toddfather for out number one. Izturis pops out. Olivo pops out. TBH, I think I would rather have Corky Miller as the emergency catcher in AAA than Olivo. Andres Torres doubles down into the right field corner but is gunned down by Izturis trying for three. A nice throw by Bruce as well. Ludwick hauls one in down the line in left. Xavier Paul is DHing today and gets a chance to face the left Zito and promptly pulls a ground single to right. Choo with a looping liner single to center sets the Reds up with runners at first and second with nobody out. Paul was going on the pitch but lost sight of the ball (pickup your coach maybe?) and stops at second. Cozart hits on the screws but right at Keischnick in right for the first out of the inning. Soto walks to load them up for Ludwick. Ludwick's bat looks 'tired' down there in Goodyear, Arizona as he 'rolls' into an inning-ending double play. BA works a quick 4th. Fly out, ground out, fly out. Jay Bruce swings and misses. Frazier with a dribbler to third which he beats out. Izturis lines hard to center for the second out. Olivo with a checked-swing ground out. Still 2-1 Giants. Sean Marshall, working the top of the fifth, is greeted with a lead-off single. Giants start the runner and it pays off as Valdez grounds to short with the only play at first. Runner on second. One out. Ground ball eats up Frazier and the Giants add another run. Quiroz stands on first. Brown with a line drive to left. Line drive to right caught by Heisey. Marshall strikes out Brandon Belt for out number three. Marty has a visitor from North Carolina and I think he might be speaking English. Not 100% sure. He sounds a lot like Gomer Pyle. Reds go quietly in the fifth. Phipps ground out for Choo, Donald for Cozart. Broxton will work the sixth. A soft line to Heisey and a grounder to second and the first two batters are retired. Heisey makes a running snag of a line drive. 1-2-3. Donald Lutz, facing a lefty, continues to rattle baseballs off the wall. He stands at second with nobody out. Derrick Robinson singles to right to score Lutz but he is out in a rundown trying for second. Chris Heisey jumps all over a hanging breaking ball to tie things up at 3. That ball cleared everything. It was crushed. Hannahan rolls one over for the second out. Henry Rodriguez grounds to third. 3-3 after six. Arredondo on for the 7th. He strikes out the first batter he faces. Wilson Valdez grounds to second. Another grounder. 1-2-3. Corky Miller goes up hacking and lines hard to right on the first pitch. Burriss retired on a roller to second. Phipps rips an 0-2 fast ball back up the middle for a single. Donald lines the next pitch to right to put runners on the corners. Donald Lutz takes a big cut but comes up empty for strike three. Pedro Villarreal shows why he isn't getting any votes in the prospect's poll. A fly ball to right for the first out and then single, homer (no-doubt rocket to center), homer (next pitch home run to deep left), single, single, double, and single plate six runs. Mercifully, Villareal is replaced by Curtis Partch. 9-3 Giants. And it is smelling like dinner is ready. Adios. Finishing up, Partch looked good, inducing a popup and then striking out Gary Brown. Reds 8th saw Robinson and Heisey strike out. Hannahan and Henry Rodriguez stroked two-out singles. Corky Miller skied to center. In the 9th, Partch gives up a leadoff double and then retires the next three. Reds try to rally in the bottom of the 9th. Burriss reaches on an error. Phipps doubles for his second hit of the game. Donald's infield hit plates one. Lutz' sac fly is the first out. Robinson gets his second hit. Heisey flies out to center and Hannahan follows suit. 9-5 Giants.
Zero chance the Reds miss the playoffs! Last edited by texasdave; 03-13-2013 at 09:05 PM. |

Re: Cactus League 2/28/13 Split Squad Rox/Snakes
It's a mixed bag Thursday. Lots of regulars have the day off:
Pitching: Homer went four innings today. Good news. He didn't walk a batter. Bad news. He only struck out one, gave up 3 ER on 6 hits. Morse took him deep. Pitch fx was working today. Bailey's was sitting 91-93 on his fastball. Hensley came on next. Good news. He struck out 5 in 2 innings of work. He gave up 4 ER on 3 hits and a walk. Morse took him deep. De La Rose worked a scoreless 7th, striking out 2 Mariners. Hitting: Heisey had two hits, including a double. Zack Cozart with a pair of safeties, knocking in two. Denis Phipps pounded out a pair of two-baggers. Jason Donald stroked a pair of singles. Devin Mesoraco stayed out going 1 for 2. Neftali Soto had a double as did Henry Rodriguez. Derrick Robinson singled. Reds jumped out to a 7-1. But it is all knotted up at 7 apiece heading into the 8th. Michael Morse was a one-man wrecking crew. He blasted a double and two homers. He scrored three times and knocked in five. Robinson stole a base while Mesoraco was caught. Cozart made a throwing error, his third error of the season. Drew Hayes on to pitch the 8th. The first batter lined hard to Selsky in left. The second batter, Zunnino jacked one over the 410 marker to give the Mariners an 8-7 lead. Hayes has been touching 94. Hayes Ks a batter and then gets a grounder to short. That was Hayes first run given up in the spring. When you have a #84 (Hayes) facing a #93 (Taylor), you know it's spring training. Reds top of the 9th coming up. Lohman, Soto, Lutz and hopefully Selsky. They will face Oliver Perez. Easy bouncer to short off the bat of Lohman. One down. Soto sends the Seattle Mariners' right fielder banging into the wall, but Thames hangs on for out number two. He gave it a serious ride to the opposite field. And Perez makes Lutz look foolish on three straight breaking balls. Game over. 8-7 bad guys.

There are many misconceptions that students have about visiting
their instructors. A prevalent misconception is that the office
visit is a negative experience; however, the exact opposite is
true. The visit is the time to make a personal connection with
the professor who is there to be a positive source of advice.
For instance, if you are doing a research paper, the instructor
can recommend well-balanced and scholarly sources, or stress
ways of narrowing the focus of the research. Another misconception
is that only students who are struggling in the class must visit
the instructor. The reality is that the successful students are
the ones who make the most visits.
The successful students also
know the etiquette involved in the visit.
Some of the rules of etiquette are basically common courtesy;
however, there are other less evident rules. The most prevalent
breach of etiquette is not arriving on time. The student must
realize that others are scheduled. One student's lateness
will disrupt the opportunity for all involved, including the
instructor. It might sound obvious, but the student should call
when running late and reschedule. When arriving at the office,
the student should knock on the door, even if the door is open,
and then wait for the instructor's invitation. It is crucial
to turn your cell phone off. Do not set it on vibrate, so you
will not be tempted to answer the phone. Putting the instructor "on
hold" while you answer the phone is definitely not a good
Never arrive at the meeting unprepared; it is one way to turn
a positive situation into a negative. The instructor is there
to help you with your work, but is not there to do the work for
you. The student should not under any circumstances say or imply
that s/he does not have a clue of what the instructor wants done
for the assignment. A better approach would be to remind the
instructor of the assignment and show what you have done so far.
Bring a note pad to write down the instructor's recommendations
and enjoy
your visit.
The office visit is one good way to lessen academic stress!

The late sixteenth-century penal debt bond, which allowed an unsatisfied creditor to seize the body of his debtor, set in motion a series of precedents that would haunt the legal, philosophical, and moral problem of property-in-person in England and America for centuries. Focusing on a historical juncture at which debt litigation was not merely an aspect of society but seemed to engulf it completely, Of Bondage examines a culture that understood money and the body of the borrower as comparable forms of property that impinged on one another at the moment of default.
