Oxford United reject loan enquiry
9:40am Friday 11th January 2013 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
AN approach for a fringe player at Oxford United has been rejected as manager Chris Wilder looks to keep his squad together.
The U's have had no formal transfer offers for any of their players so far during the January transfer window, but have received an enquiry over the availability of one unnamed player.
But with the squad stretched by injuries and suspensions, Wilder is reluctant to let anyone leave.
He said: "As we've seen with the numbers at the moment I can't afford to let anyone go.
"Although players are coming back it can quickly change, so it has to be right and it wasn't at the moment.
"Nothing concrete has come in, it was a loose approach about a player who hasn't been playing regularly."
The exception could be Luke O'Brien, whose short-term deal expires next week.
The 24-year-old was brought in as cover for Liam Davis, who returned from injury in November, but has had minor niggles since.
Wilder will make a decision after tomorrow's trip to Bradford.
He said: "Luke's done great for us, but there has to be a pathway for him to play.
"The reason Luke has played and it got extended is because we've had issues with Lev (Peter Leven) and Liam.
"Obviously if those continue we might look to extend Luke."

Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — New York Sen. Charles Schumer has pledged an all-out effort to get a hearing "this year" for his legislation make clear to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that rebuilding overfished stocks need not be forced into the 10-year window mandated by Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Schumer's pledge implicitly calls out Sen. John Kerry to make good on his support for the concept of flexibility.
The first speaker at Wednesday's "Keep Fishermen Fishing" rally, which drew 21 members of Congress in a bipartisan alliance that virtually as one called for adding "flexibility" to the Magnuson-Stevens Act, Schumer set the urgent tone and business-like theme of the rally event with his blunt and reasonable goal — to "begin hearings on Magnuson reform this year."
To do that, the New York Democrat — who said his "Uncle Al" introduced him to bluefishing in Brooklyn's Sheepshead Bay — promised to lobby "my colleagues on the Commerce Committee to put the bill up for a hearing ... because we need an open debate now."
Neither Schumer nor any of his five cosponsors, which include Sens. Scott Brown, a Massachusetts Republican, as well Democrats Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Kay Hagen of North Carolina — all of whom spoke at the rally — are members of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Indeed, the only senator at the rally who serves on the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee is Kerry. He is the senior member, wielding influence up and down and across the aisle, a fact illustrated by the cosigners on legislation he recently introduced to re-establish the principle of a half century old law — to use seafood import fees to promote the domestic fishing industry.
Along with Brown, cosponsors of Kerry's bill are Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, and Olympia Snowe, the Maine Republican who has announced her retirement at the end of this year. Rockefeller chairs the Commerce Committee. Neither he nor Snowe have signed onto Schumer's flexibility bill.
For his part, though not yet a co-sponsor or even an announced supporter, Kerry made no bones at the rally about his belief in the need for flexibility in administering the Magnuson-Stevens Act.
Combined with other Magnuson requirements — including hard catch limits that went into effect this year and NOAA's chronic lack of faith in its own science, which adds layers of uncertainty onto shaky stock assessments that rolled back catch limits in waves — the domestic fishing industry found itself battened down in a perfect storm of regulatory controls.
In the only written remarks prepared for the rally, Brian Rothschild, the distinguished marine scientist from University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, reported calculating that underfishing, rather than overfishing, was the clear model in play due to federal interpretations of Magnuson and the buffers to scientific uncertainty.
His research found "roughly 60 percent of the quota was actually landed," with 60,000 metric tons left uncaught due to the buffers to scientific and management uncertainty. That, he said, has produced an unnecessary contraction of the fishing economy by about $200 million at the dock, not counting the multiplier as the landings travel to consumption and other industrial uses.
Rothschild summarized his written remarks in brief comments as the rally was winding down after more than two hours in Upper Senate Park across the street from the Russell Senate Office Building that houses Kerry's offices.
About 1,500 attended, less than half of the estimated number that came together in 2010. But with new recruits, congressional participation was up by about one-third. One new speaker was Congressman William Keating, a Democrat who represents the South Shore and Cape Cod. The first-term representative and former district attorney said, "The road is clear — take the conflict of interest out" and put (funding) into science."
In testimony on March 8, 2011, before the Senate Commerce Committee, Vito Giacalone, policy director for the Northeast Seafood Coalition, presented a nearly 6,000-word critique of federal fisheries policies, at one point writing "that the agency (NOAA) makes excessively narrow and incorrect interpretations of your legislation, ignoring useful opportunities to apply flexibility where it exists throughout the MSA (Magnuson-Stevens Act) that have avoided necessary problems."
Giacalone attended the rally, representing Gloucester fishermen virtually by himself, due, he said, to the inviting weather for the fleet, the impending April 1 seasonal closing of rich inshore fishing grounds, as well as the paltry allocations made available by NOAA policies.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk, state Sen. Bruce Tarr and state Rep. Ann Margaret-Ferrante, all spoke at the rally.
"Magnuson was written," said Tarr, who has mentored Brown on fisheries issues, "to keep foreign trawlers from taking our fish, but today it is the U.S. government that is taking our fish."
Along with the calls for flexibility in Magnuson came calls for the removal from office of NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco, with Congressmen Barney Frank and John Tierney as well as U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, reiterating oft-made demands.

Question of the Week
Is it a smart move for a company to make work-life balance policies?
Posted Nov 13, 2013 12:15 PM CDT
By Sarah Mui
Last month, investment banking firm Goldman Sachs announced a policy requiring junior analysts to spend some time each week away from the office.
"According to one Goldman analyst, the firm's junior bankers have been told that unless they receive a special waiver [because of 'critical client activity'], they aren't supposed to set foot inside Goldman's offices" or even log in from home between 9 p.m. Friday and 9 a.m. Sunday, New York's Daily Intelligencer blog reports.
Why are they doing this? "Our goal is to give junior bankers greater predictability and flexibility with their time," Goldman spokesman David Wells told the blog. "As we implement the program, we'll be communicating and working with our people to find a good balance and see what works."
But unnamed Goldman Sachs analysts tell New York that they are unsure about what best practices are under the policy. Is the policy in fact just a publicity stunt to be ignored in practice? Or will those caught logging in on Saturdays without waivers be punished come bonus time?
So this week, we'd like to ask you: Is it a smart move for a company to make work-life balance policies? Do you think forcing a little time away from the office may ultimately make workers more happy and productive? Would you distrust a no-Saturdays play like Goldman's, or would a policy like that entice you to work for a company?
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: Do you encourage young people to go to law school?
Featured answer:
Posted by Chantelle Anderson: "I ask them why they want to go. If their future career aspiration require a law degree and licensure, then go. Who am I to tell them not to pursue their dreams? But I do also caution about the glut in the market and that if they can do what they want to do sans a JD, don't go."
Do you have an idea for a future question of the week? If so, contact us.

About nine months ago, I acquired a 13-inch MacBook Air. At that point, the first Ultrabooks had been announced but were not yet shipping. Even so, I might have waited, except that the Ultrabooks I'd previewed to that point seemed uninspired--with clunkier hardware than the Air offered and various odd compromises. Some missed the boat on the trackpad; others had lower-quality displays. So I bought a 13-inch MacBook Air configured with a 256GB solid-state drive.
Originally, I had intended to load most of my Windows applications onto the new laptop, using the Parallels virtual machine software. But at some point shortly after installing the Parallels/Windows 7 combo, I stopped using the VM, opting instead to integrate Mac OS into my existing, Microsoft-based environment. Adopting this setup does mean enduring a few hassles, but overall the two operating systems play nicely together, if you set them up properly. What follows are the details of how I did that, and how well the arrangement has worked.

Understanding Your PC Needs
Different people have different needs. When I take a laptop on the road, I need it to do several specific things:
- Write and edit articles like this one.
- Process and edit photographs. And since I shoot all of my photos in RAW format, using a DSLR, the ability to process raw images is important.
- Maintain cross-compatibility between Mac OS apps and Windows software. I'm not talking here about data files alone, but also about usability: Basically, I didn't want to have to relearn applications. That said, I remained open to the idea of using native Mac OS apps, but my use of any such apps would be in addition to applications I used for daily work.
- Integrate the Mac OS and Windows environments to make moving files back and forth easy.
Those requirements define the goals I had in mind in setting up my MacBook Air. Let's start by looking at the applications mix I went with, and my reasons for choosing those apps.
Microsoft Office 11 for Mac OS
First up is a no-brainer if you need to get work done. Other word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation programs do exist for the Mac; and some are probably easier to use or more streamlined than Office. But I know Word pretty intimately, and I use Excel pretty regularly. Transferring files is, for the most part, straightforward. Some spreadsheets that use macros in the Windows version of Excel won't run on the Mac version, but I rarely use those.
I rarely use PowerPoint, and I'm tempted to experiment with some of the cool presentation tools I've seen for Mac OS.
Finally, there's Outlook for the Mac. It works well enough and has some neat mail management capabilities, but its interface in Mac OS differs more from the Windows version than the other Mac Office apps do. Most notably it lacks a few enterprise-centric features that are of little use to me. Still, overall, its behavior echoes that of the Windows version.

Kevin Love has blogged about his All-Star Weekend, and as is usually the case when Love blogs on GQ, it's well worth a read. The best anecdote is that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, in a pre-game meeting, warned All-Star rookies Love, Blake Griffin and Russell Westbrook wouldn't be getting many minutes in the big showcase.↵
Spurs coach Greg Popovich led the meeting, and he was pretty funny. He said, "Guys, we're gonna go out and have fun. We're not really gonna run any sets. We're gonna get up and down. And all of you are gonna play a lot and get good minutes-except for probably Russell, Blake and Kevin. You guys are all f--ked."

|Rex named Queen Jubilee XXXVIII
|Monday, April 08, 2013 8:06 AM
VAN WERT - Queen Jubilee XXXVIII has been crowned.
Jordan Rex of Spencerville High School was crowned Friday night in the 2013 Peony Pageant held at Marsh Auditorium. She said afterward she was very surprised to have won.
"I more came out to do this as an experience, and I met amazing girls, and that was all I was looking for. It was an opportunity to meet some really nice people," she stated."I am so surprised by myself because I thought I was going to be so nervous coming out here, shaking so bad that somebody would be thinking, 'What is she doing? Having a seizure on stage?' So I think it was really neat to come out here and actually do better than I expected in my own mind."
Rex won not only the title, but also the talent competition during the pageant. She signed to the song "Listen" by Beyonce, drawing a huge ovation from the crowd. Rex admitted that she really had to overcome her nerves to perform.
"Overall, I just was so nervous, so it's really cool to have such a great reward for all the hard work we put in this week." she said. "The hardest thing was getting up here the very first time. I have danced for a while, and cheered, always in front of crowds, but this is a completely new scene. I think coming up here and starting with the opening dance was the hardest, then it just got easier from here."
Jordan Rex is the daughter of Jeff and April Rex. She is senior class secretary, treasurer of the National Honor Society chapter, student council president, and a member of SADD, Quiz Bowl, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and a football, basketball, and competition cheerleader.
After the pageant, Rex talked about her fellow contestants.
She said, "They are all amazing. We knew all along that it was going to be tight because they always told us that it was a great group of girls, maybe the best one they've seen. So it's really cool to see me come out on top of this amazing group."
Corinne Metzger of Delphos Jefferson was named first runner-up in the pageant. The daughter of Teresa Metzger and Dale and Betty Metzger, Corinne is a class officer, a member of the National Honor Society, soccer team captain and is active in band, choir, and the NWC sportsmanship team. She performed a flag and rifle routine to the song "Move" by Mercy Me in the talent competition.
Savannah Roughton of Paulding High School was chosen as second runner-up. She is the daughter of Eric and Shelly Roughton and is valedictorian of her senior class and vice-president of the National Honor Society chapter. Roughton is part of the Science Olympiad Engineering Team, quiz bowl team, FCCLA, and the school Bible study. For her talent, she demonstrated the various stages of learning to play the piano. Roughton also was chosen as Miss Congeniality.
Also competing in the pageant was Kate Bauer of Crestview, daughter of John and Chris Bauer. Bauer sang "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," from the movie Burlesque.
Courtney Gorman of Lincolnview is the daughter of Shawn and Michelle Gorman. She performed a self-choreographed color guard routine to a compilation of popular songs as her talent.
Alexis Ford of Parkway is the daughter of Annie Ford and the late Matt Ford. During the talent competition, she sang "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus.
Karissa Place of Van Wert is the daughter of Robert and Shelly Place. She performed a clogging routine to "We Run This."
Chelsea Critchfield of Wayne Trace is the daughter of Rick and Angie Critchfield and Robin and Tom McCord. Critchfield played Prelude 3 by Carolyn Miller on piano.

$1.50 12 oz bottle at Old Fashioned in Madison, WI. Ugly new label tries to court nostalgic but ends up offending them. Pours light yellow with some bubbles and a nice white lacing. Ultra transparent. Smells like not much. Maybe a little corn and some veggies but really not a whole lot. Smooth and creamy with almost no taste. There could be malt and/or hops in this beer but its difficult to tell. There could also be corn or rice but again, I cant taste much of anything. Drinks well though. Goes right down. Tastes clean. No noticeable adjuncts at least. Not overly sweet or carbonated. Just perfectly balanced, balanced on nothingness. Ill take a PBR over this but it beets most of the other cheap swill out there.

Presentation: 40 oz cheap brown glass bottle with a twist off soda pop-like cap. No freshness date.
Appearance: Very pale yellow in colour, the clear clarity of a beer that was ultra filtered. White lace surprisingly stays for a while and sticks a bit.
Smell: Cooked corn in the aroma, an off smell of DMS (cooked veggie) also.
Taste: Very smooth with a feigned medium body that actually turns out to be light as the crisp carbonation unfolds. Corn grit flavour is all over the place. Malt? Very little malt on the palate, just some grainy flavours. Hops are light and seem to let a bit of cloying sweetness in the middle. Hint of alcohol flares out with a clean presence.
Notes: As close to not having much flavour at all, oddly it was not that bad going down compared to other cheap American lagers. This is the stuff to get when you only have a couple bucks in your pocket … good to have every once in a while to get the flavour of cheap lager and realize that there are so many great beers out there other than this.

This pours with very little excitement. The nose gets the odor of corn and oats. Taste is sweet and dry, but with a very grainy, chemical like finish. The malted cereal grains are the big player in this brew. This is a very cheap beer. next time i'll spend the extra for Pabst Blue Ribbon.

OK I know I'm scrapin the bottom of the barrel here, but we all need to consume some mass produced crap to keep us honest and keep us abreast of what is out there. This stuff is, suprise, piss yellow with a large bubble, short lasting head. Not much nose to speak of. Ditto for malt and hops. It is cold and wet and did help me wash down my dinner.

No need to rate the appearance, as I drank it straight from the can. Before I review this beer, its been interesting for me reading about so many different beers, and how they rate on this site. One person may rate a beer close to a 5, and following that rating could be a 2 or lower. It truly does show, that taste is truly subjective. In other words, one mans paradise, can be another mans garbage indeed.
As much as I love a good craft beer, Samuel Adams being my all time favorite, closely followed by Highlands Gaelic Ale, Ive been searching for something that when funds are low, would make for a good go to beer. Genesee beer, is one that fit the bill for me (pardon the pun) But now Ive had the pleasure of trying Old Milwaukee. So now for my review.
S. Grains upfront, sort of sweet smelling. Not offensive at all.
T. Definitely what one would expect from a macro, and thats what I expected. Cereal grains, however a very nice malty taste as well. I realy enjoy the flavor of this versus a Budweiser, Miller, as this has much more of a bite with more flavor then the aforementioned.
M. Medium carbonation, not bland or watery but just right.
O. If anyone is feeling the pinch of how expensive things are getting these days, wich Im sure alot of folks are. I recommend giving Old Milwaukee a try. Its quite refreshing and quenching, a great working mans beer sure to satisfy!!

12oz can poured into a pint glass.
Bought a 12 pack of this because they say this is Americas best tasting beer, and if you don't agree you'll get your money back. So I'm giving it a shot, if it's my best reviewed beer I won't ask for my money back.
Pours a very clear light yellow with a nice big fluffy white head. Nose is bad, it's a kind of stale hop lager nose that you get from all BMC beer.
Taste is actually not too bad for this style. It's not a great beer but it's got a nice malt character to it. The body strongly suffers from the adjuncts but there's still a nice hint here in the body. There's no hops to speak of. Mouthfeel isn't too bad, fairly creamy and thick - relatively speaking.
Overall I'd say it's a fairly easy drinking beer. Good for a game of beer pong or something like that, but if I'm going to sit down and relax with a good beer, I won't choose this.

Faint yellow, no head. Smells like Milwaukee in the morning (the city).
Taste, eh, I almost wanna say don't go there, but this is a beer review. Hops, malt, yeast, nothing, but there's lots of water in it. Kind of a weird aftertaste and mouthfeel to it, I have no idea what it is, other than not pleasant for the most part. Very cheap, hence, drinkable.
I shit you not this stuff was $29.99 for a 1/2 barrel at Discount Liquors in Milwaukee when I was going to Marquette. How many kegs did we kill of this during the 2003 Final Four run?

Poured the can into a Pilsner glass...
Transparent lightest gold color, wide-bubbled head of a very thin character but better duration than some. Partial ring laces. Aroma is all sweetness, corn and cane sugar. Mouthfeel is thinnish but the carbonation is adequately done. No real sense of hops, malt is sweet and neutral without nasty qualities. Aftertaste is lightly honeyish without the overdone fizziness and mineral water taste of some macros. Cheap and forgetable, but not the worst of drinkabilities in the beer world.

Well why not, I had one in the fridge left over from a bbq (I used it to boil brats in).
I poured it from a 16oz can into a mug and the first thought that races through my mind is "why bother." It is a corn pee yellow with a bleached white head that is rocky, consisting of larger bubbles.
Smell is of stale corn and weak malts.
Tastes like a watered down corn lager. Definitely better ice cold because it starts to get rank as it warms. This one taste exactly like the mindless varieties of macro lagers. I would like to know what the legal loop hole is where they can market the phrase on the can "America's best tasting beer." It is not.
A light body and large carbonation does make it a fun beer to drink if you are doing manual labor. Ice one down and shotgun it after mowing the lawn. I will use this one to cook with but thats about it... unless I am in a real pinch.

Color more golden than I'm used to in gas-station lager, but the head goes away quicker than a Kenyan olympic sprinter. Almost no smell, but that's better than being skunky, so I can deal with that. Taste is rather weak, not really malty, not really hoppy, just there. If you had a lickable encyclopedia, this would be your generic example of "beer taste." Unflattering, unrefined, but not really bad either.
Probably one of the most drinkable lagers available at the nearest small gas station. Drinkable, if only just. Not good enough for enthusiasm, not bad enough to slam. It's beer, drink it.

I returned to the Circuit this morning to find even colder temperatures than on Friday. It was 45 degrees when we first arrived and will be just 62 degrees when qualifying starts at Noon -- by far the coldest race of the season.
Media credentials have always fascinated me. They come in so many different shapes and colors. And when it comes to motorsports, they make colorful reminders of where I've been. So when I started posting pictures of them on Twitter, my friends and followers were really receptive -- they wanted to see more.
So I've received a lot of questions about the F1 lanyards and media passes and how they looked more expensive than many of the others I've received this season.
That's because, like most things in Formula 1, these passes are pretty advanced. There's a computer chip embedded in every pass that must be swiped and scanned at the entrance each time you leave or return to the track.
In other words, there's no sneaking into the venue like the old-timers used to do to at classic NASCAR races such as Bristol or Martinsville.
Additionally, there's a pass for every form of access. The three I've used this weekend and those photographed below are the media, paddock and paddock club passe. There's also a different set of credentials for every day of the weekend.

Wikileaks and the Imperial Press
by Mumia Abu-Jamal
The instincts expressed by these outlets betray the same mindset that whipped the nation to war in the aftermath of 9/11. Media as servant of presidential power. Media as servant of the defense industries – and Empire.
Julian Assange, editor-in-chief of Wikileaks, has been lashed for not caring sufficiently for U.S. soldiers or secret Afghanistan informants.
His other offense? Counting the deaths of Afghan civilians killed by U.S. troops. For most of the media, that's a no-no.
This is what the Imperial Media sounds like.
As it stands, American corporate media is fast becoming a vanishing breed, for less and less people watch TV news or read newspapers. Furthermore, young people are leading the trend. According to some reports, the average U.S. newspaper loses at least 10 percent of its readership every year.
While technology undoubtedly plays some role in this process, the lack of trust must also be a factor.
Their flag-waving, martial music and lies led the nation into disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan.
When an outfit like Wikileaks comes along, with raw files from the battlefield, the corporate media seems superfluous.
And now, like underfed pit bulls, they attack Wikileaks for not playing their imperial game.
They are barking, but Wikileaks is biting.

One thought on "Wikileaks and the Imperial Press"
We must not forget the young soldier, Barry Manning, who is jailed right now. I believe he has a moral compass, and may have been astounded by the atrociousness of those films. I appreciate what Mr. Assange did. There have been rumors that assange is part of a very secret cia faction. Hope that is not true, and that wikileaks is legitimate leaks! FREE BARRY MANNING, he told the TRUTH!↓

It was the fifth straight loss for Sumiton Christian while Ragland remained perfect at 8-0.
Sumiton Christian fumbled the opening kickoff and Ragland's Christian Morrow was there to pounce on the loose ball. But Ragland was unable to score, and was forced to punt after four plays.
Sumiton Christian had the ball for nine plays the first time they had the ball, but was forced to punt, and then the scoring started for Ragland.
The Purple Devils used a nine-play, 91-yard drive to get on the scoreboard on a 17-yard touchdown run by quarterback KiJana Lindsay. The extra point by Ronnie Isbell was good to make the score 7-0 with 3:17 remaining in the first quarter.
Ragland's Spencer Odom intercept a Sumiton Christian pass with 1:16 remaining in the opening stanza, and then Lindsay hooked up with wide receiver Jimmy Brock for a 36-yard touchdown with 1:07 left in the first quarter. Isbell's PAT was good to make it 14-0 after one quarter of play.
Sumiton Christian moved the ball and scored when quarterback Austin Clark tossed a 9-yard pass to Nathan Godwin. Trey Collins added the PAT to make the score 14-7.
Ragland came right back on a 32-yard touchdown run by Morrow with 6:08 left before halftime. Isbell added the PAT to make it 21-7.
Jacob Brewster intercepted a Sumiton Christian pass, and on the next play Lindsay and Brock hooked up again to score, this time from 25 yards out.
Isbell's extra point was good to make it 28-7 with 5:29 remaining before intermission.
Sumiton Christian moved the ball down into field goal range where Collins booted a 33-yard field goal to make it 28-10 with 1:23 remaining in the first half.
It took only seven plays for the Purple Devils to get back in the end zone as Lindsay and Brock hooked up for their third scoring strike of the night — this one a 37-yarder with 27 seconds remaining in the second quarter. Isbell's PAT made the halftime score 35-10.
Ragland got the ball first in the third quarter, and on fourth down, they lined up to punt. Brock faked the punt and raced 41 yards for a touchdown.
The PAT was good to make it 42-10 with 10:05 remaining in the third quarter.
Devane Brewster got in on the scoring act as he ran eight yards for a score to make it 49-10 with 5:33 remaining in the third stanza.
Brock was all over the field at Joan Ford Stadium as he then intercepted a pass and Ragland was in business at midfield. Six plays later, Morrow scored on a 15-yard run to make the score 56-10.
The only scoring in the fourth quarter came on a 44-yard touchdown run by Sumiton Christian's Kori Evans with 7:39 remaining in the game. Collins added the PAT to make the final score 56-17.
Ragland is all set to travel to Falkville Friday to decide the region championship.
Sumiton Christian (2-5, 2-4) will host Southeastern.

Shooting a bit of everything isn't a great idea for a business plan. I suggest you target a market and get good at that kind of photography so you have a good product to sell to that market.
Sounds like good advice. I do very much enjoy advertising/product/food photography including all the Photoshop post-processing (I also need to invest in a better, faster computer), but I also know there's a lot of very tough competition and specializing in that field which would be a real challenge to start out in.
Realistically I think I might be better off starting with something like real estate and portraits for schools and such, then move on to more challenging stuff when I have the experience and can deliver the quality people expect. I don't want to get into weddings just now understandably but not something I'm ruling out for later.
Also have two 580exii and lots of accessories to control light, even though I use natural light wherever I can.
Yeah, I need to invest more in lighting -portable lighting that is (I have a couple of Elinchrom studio strobes already, but they don't work on batteries and are cumbersome to carry around). I'll probably get myself a 580EX/EX II (or two) in addition to my existing 430 EX and a trigger of some sort (a reliable manual one will likely do for now even though I might just start experimenting with the built in IR-trigger of the 580EX) and a portable softbox (Lastolite EzyBox or similar). With a handy sized reflector, a couple of stands (already have those from the Elinchrom kit) a couple of umbrellas and possibly also a portable backdrop kit I would have enough to get started offering my services I think.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Defying the ACLU. That's what commissioners in Rowan County voted unanimously to do at Monday night's meeting.
The issue is sectarian prayer, or a prayer that specifically mentions one belief. Commissioners say the First Amendment gives then to right to pray as they wish, but the ACLU says it's unconstitutional, so they filed a federal suit. What now?
It will have to go to court in the form of motions filed by Rowan County. The county has to answer the ACLU suit and if they don't do something by April 1, they lose by default.
"The board at this time has to get an attorney on board," Commission Chairman Jim Sides told WBTV.
"We need an attorney on board to file documents with the court system, either to protest the preliminary injunction that they're requesting or to request more time."
And that's what Sides was doing today, talking to an attorney who may want this case.
The ACLU filed the federal lawsuit after a year of threatening to do so to try and force commissioners to stop praying in the name of Jesus, or any other specific God, but at the meeting last night, Craig Pierce did just that.
The meeting room and an overflow room was packed with folks, and most support the commissioners stance.
But fighting the ACLU won't be cheap, and commissioners say it will involve taxpayer money.

Come playoff time, a lot of questions surround the teams that make the playoffs due to being in divisions with mediocre teams. An example this past year would include the Washington Capitals having the delicacy to be in arguably the worst division in the league and being able to secure a 3rd seed with only 27 wins. After being thwarted by the Rangers in the first round, one could only be curious as to how the competition (or lack thereof) has something to say about a teams run into the playoffs. Had the Capitals been placed in the Northeast division, they would've just made it to the playoffs by a hair. To figure out exactly how tight a division is as far as consisting of good teams, the average win percentage for each division in the regular season for the past 8 years (starting from the aftermath of the lockout canceled season) was calculated. Then, the average difference of each teams winning percentage according to their division was found to satisfy the question: "Which divisions are the most and least competitive, and what does this tell us about a team going into the postseason?" This would mean that the divisions with the lowest average win % differences are more competitive than ones with higher average win % differences. To sum it up, here are some interesting stats to break down the numbers:
As you can see, the Central division has earned their way into being clearly the least competitive division in the past number of seasons. The Northwest however, has deemed themselves as the most competitive, as they topped the charts for the 8 and 4 year windows as having the least average win percentage differences between their teams. The only divisions that have actually moved around a bit would be the Pacific, Atlantic, and Southeast divisions, while the Northeast has stuck tight behind the Northwest as one of the most competitive areas of the league. The most competitive division of the past 8 years was the Northwest division of 2007-2008 with .020 average difference in win percentage (for now we can call it Competitive Difference Percentage or CD%), while the least competitive goes to the Central division of 2005-2006 with a .153 CD%. There is a reasonable amount of evidence that goes to prove the idea a Darwinian evolution in the NHL. The Central's only two births that year: the Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators of '06 were both knocked out in the first round of the playoffs, falling 4-2 and 4-1 in their series'. The only year in which two divisions have broken above the barrier of .100 CD% was 2006-2007, in which 5 of the 8 Western Conference teams descended from divisions that had done so (Central: .104 CD% and Pacific: .121 CD%). Now that we have a feel for where our divisions stand out as far as competition, we can ask exactly how being in a more competitive division affects the teams looking for postseason success. Do teams hailing from a closely battled division race undergo the NHL's version of natural selection and find their way deeper into the playoffs? Was poor performance by the Southeastern division to blame for Washington's undeserved and unusually high playoff seed? In the case of natural selection: It was found that an average .594 teams coming from a competitive division (higher than the league average) have made it to the conference finals each year. With this said, statistically, teams coming from tougher divisions are in fact put to the test and therefore able to bare the rigors of the postseason. But what does this mean about the Stanley Cup Finals of 2013, where Chicago and Boston faced off only to prove that the one coming from the least competition was the one to rule over the opposite side of the spectrum? The answer is that it wasn't the Central division's lack of talent that gave the Blackhawks a playoff spot. Chicago had already proved to be a contending team for the cup after their historic 24-0-6 streak in the beginning of the season. 62.5 % of Chicago's games were played against non-divisional conference teams, as they managed to go undefeated in regulation for 80% of those games. Undoubtedly, Chicago is a team that would have dominated its division no matter which one it was placed in. For the Bruins, this acts as another piece of evidence supporting the NHL's natural selection process. Being two wins away is enough to tell us there's something different about the tug-of-war in the Northeast, noticeably enough to have nearly produced two-time champion in the last 3 years. In the case of the Capitals: Washington just so happens to be in a situation where it doesn't exactly matter how close their competition is, since their division as a whole had done so terrible in the past number of years. The 2012-2013 season actually marked an all time low for the Southeast division when they finished with an average win % of .429, the worst of any division in a single season for the past 8 years. The Southeast has also been able to somehow have the worst average win % of any division for 6 of the past 8 years. The division with the worst win % at the end of the season had tended to show poor playoff performances, even if it doesn't include the Southeastern division:
On the other side of the scope, teams coming from high winning percentage divisions seem to have more success in the playoffs:

The globalization of capital that has undermined workers everywhere finally has brought about moves for the globalization of labor. Finally, unions worldwide are seriously heeding Karl Marx' plea for workers to unite across national boundaries.
Although first voiced 160 years ago, "Workers of the World Unite!" is one of the most important messages that the unions of today are likely to hear. As President Andy Stern of the Service Employees Union says, Marx' message "isn't ideological anymore. It's practical."
The need for international labor unity is great and daily growing greater. Government policies in the United States and elsewhere have allowed corporate employers to shift operations to poor countries, where workers are poorly paid and have few rights because they lack effective unions and other protections.
At the same time, there's been a flood of cheap labor into the United States from poorer countries. That has helped hold down the pay of U.S. workers and keep them from gaining broader rights and better working conditions. Much of the problem has been caused by U.S. trade policies that are designed to help the corporate interests favored by most U.S, lawmakers and thus allow the exploitation of workers both here and abroad.
What it amounts to, simply, is that powerful multi-national corporations — that is to say, most major corporations — are able to keep pay and working conditions at low levels by playing one country's workforce off against another's workforce while maximizing the corporation's profits.
In the meantime, the size of the worldwide labor force has doubled, while the size of unions worldwide has not come even close to keeping pace. That has severely weakened the bargaining power of unions in dealing with global employers.
So what's to be done? How should workers of the world go about uniting? For one thing, they should develop international standards for the treatment of workers everywhere and jointly demand that they be followed and that trade agreements carry provisions to protect and further workers' rights.
Workers employed by the same corporate employers in different parts of the world should act jointly — pool their resources, coordinate their efforts, help each other develop strong, effective unions and global strategies , They need to organize workers jointly and make the same demands for decent working conditions wherever the workers are employed, here or abroad – and enforce those demands jointly, if necessary, by strikes and other actions.
Steps toward the globalization of labor by those and other means have already begun. Unions, for instance, have put together an organization, the International Trade Union Confederation, that represents more than 150 million workers in more than 150 countries. The confederation's charter spells out its purpose and needs quite clearly: "Confronted by unbridled capitalist globalization, effective internationalism is essential to the future strength of trade unionism."
The confederation promises to struggle "for the emancipation of working people and a world in which the dignity and rights of all human beings is assured."
Just recently, the world's first global union was formed through an alliance between America's United Steelworkers union and Unite, Britain's largest union, which is made up mainly of factory and transportation workers. The alliance goes by the awkward, but apt name of "Workers Uniting: The Global Union."
The two unions, which represent workers at some companies that operate in both the United States and Britain, will remain largely autonomous. But they will have a joint leadership to coordinate common policy and collective bargaining for some three million members in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and the Irish Republic who work in virtually every sector of the global economy — in manufacturing, service, mining and transportation.
Other recent steps toward globalization have been taken by the Communication Workers union. It has formed a T-Workers Union for employees of T-Mobile who work for the German-owned company in this country and in Germany. Members will belong to both the Communication Workers and its German equivalent.
Andy Stern's Service Employees Union has established a worldwide network of security-guard unions as the first of what the union hopes will be a series of organizing campaigns for workers in a variety of occupations here and abroad.
Former labor leader and U.S. Under Secretary of Labor Jack Henning eloquently explained why such steps are urgent and essential:
"We were never meant to be beggars at the table of wealth. We were never meant to be the lieutenants of capitalism. We were never meant to be the pall bearers of the workers of the world. Global unionism is the answer to global capitalism. There is no other answer."

Lewis bullish at derby chances
11:40am Friday 17th January 2014 in Sport By Andy Carswell, Reporter
STUART Lewis believes tomorrow is the perfect time for derby day - saying there's no reason why Wanderers can't claim the bragging rights against Oxford United.
The Blues skipper said he would have hand picked M40 rivals Oxford as the best opposition to play if he was given a free hand over the League Two fixtures.
He's in defiant mood going into the derby - saying it's the first game he looked out for when the fixtures were released in the summer - and said Blues have been buoyed by their display at Morecambe on Saturday.
Lewis said: "I don't think we could wish for a better game at the minute. It'll be a great atmosphere and hopefully we can start a good run of form with that game.
"If I could pick a game to play, it would be Oxford. I know they are flying high but that goes out the window in the derby.
"If we really bring it, we can start the second half of the season at home better than we finished the first half."
Lewis is also looking forward to the atmosphere that comes with the occasion, with well over 1,500 Oxford fans expected to make the short journey to Adams Park.
Suspension meant he missed out on the first game against the U's, meaning the midfielder is even more pumped up than usual - but the 26-year-old admits Wanderers need to up their game if they're to improve on their stuttering home form.
He said: "It's one of the best games of the season, home and away to Oxford. If the fans can bring their voices it will be a good atmosphere, but we need to bring our performance. At home we know we've not been good enough and it's down to us to lift them, put tackles in and bring out what we brought against Morecambe.
"You always look out for home and away to Oxford. These games are the ones you look forward to. I can't wait now - we've turned it around from a not good enough, very disappointing result last week against Wimbledon and if we can really attack Oxford I can't see a reason why we can't beat them."
Fellow midfielder Matt Bloomfield added: "I've played in plenty of them and had a few wins along the way. I'm sure the fans will get right behind us."

As the next wave of young guns..gets set to try and take NASCAR by storm, veteran Jeff Burton forges ahead. The 21-time Cup race winner is about to exit Richard Childress racing..but not the Cup Series. Burton says his plans at the Cup level are almost finalized, and he will soon be able to announce them. In the meantime- he's pretty clear on what it takes to make it to the top..and keep on racing.
Burton says if you are entering into a racing career just for the money and fame, it won't work out. He talked about it needing to be a passion, or your career won't be what you want it to be.
The 46-year-old grew up in nearby South Boston, Virginia, and understands the history--and tradition..of Martinsville. Having spent his formative years in the area he understands what NASCAR racing at Martinsville twice a year means to the area. Burton says after the area lost tobacco, and then later textiles, the economy was devastated. He says it would be a mistake for NASCAR to ever leave Martinsville, because if you don't respect your past you want have a good future.

Towson Men's Basketball Post-Game Notes from Win at Drexel
Towson Team Notes:
*With yesterday's win at Drexel, Towson improved to 7-8 overall and 2-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association. In their last three games, the Tigers have picked up road victories against Oregon State out of the Pac-12, UNC Wilmington and CAA Preseason favorite Drexel.
*Towson is riding its first three-game winning streak since the end of the 2009-10 season. The Tigers have also won three straight games that were all
played on the road for the first time since Feb. 20-27, 1993 when they won games at UNC Asheville,
Radford and UMBC.
*The win snapped Drexel's 17-game regular-season CAA win streak, which was just one shy of the league record, set by George Mason.
*Towson won its first game at the Daskalakis Center since an 81-65 victory over the Dragons on Feb. 23, 2002. Additionally, Drexel was 16-1 on its home floor a year ago.
*The Tigers are off to their first ever 2-0 start in conference play since joining the CAA prior to the 2001-02 season. Towson last opened a league campaign with two straight wins during its final year in the America East in 2000-01.
*Towson has led by at least 19 points in each of its CAA games thus far. The Tigers have also had significant halftime advantages, leading by 16 at UNCW and 14 at Drexel.
*The Tigers, who lead the CAA in field goal percentage defense (38.4), held the Dragons to just 28 percent shooting in the first half. Towson also scored the final 11 points of the opening period to go into halftime leading 32-18.
*Towson has scored 69 or more points six times this season after not surpassing 69 points in any game last season.
*The Tigers once again struggled to score from the field in the final five minutes of the game. Against both Drexel and UNC Wilmington, Towson's final 12 points came from the free throw line.
*For the second straight game and the fourth time this season, the Tigers had four players score in double figures. Towson is 4-0 in those games.

*The Tigers controlled the paint against Drexel, holding a 39-33 rebounding edge and a 26-10 advantage in points in the paint.
*Through 15 games, Towson has played 13 away from home. However, five of the Tigers' next six games will be played at the Towson Center, starting with William & Mary on Wednesday.
*The Tigers shot 27-for-38 (71.1%) from the free throw line on Saturday. That's the most free throws made and attempted by Towson this season. Prior season-highs in both categories occurred when the Tigers shot 21-for-33 against Eastern Kentucky on November 17.
*Towson and Northeastern are tied for first in the CAA as the only teams with a 2-0 mark.
Player Notes:
*Junior Jerrelle Benimon, who ranks third in nation with nine double-doubles, posted 18 points and 16 rebounds at Drexel. The forward is averaging 19 points and 15 rebounds over his last three games.
*Benimon set career-highs in free throws made (9) and free throws attempted (15) on Saturday.

Conman pocketed commuters' charity donations (From Daily Echo)
When news happens, text SDE and your photos or videos to 80360. Or contact us by email and phone.
Roy Bardy jailed for 13 months
2:23pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
A CONMAN who pocketed commuters' charity donations from Hampshire to Merseyside has been jailed.
Roy Bardy, 48, was jailed for 13 months yesterday after pleading guilty to two counts of fraud by false representation.
The Dagenham man operated across eight counties over a period of three years.
Blackfriars Crown Court heard how he recruited volunteers and employees to stand at rail stations across the country, including Fleet, Rushmoor and Winchester to collect money for many local charities.
He claimed to be collecting money for NAS International Charities while carrying out the scam in Hampshire.
British Transport Police officers were first alerted when commuters complained of his suspicious behaviour from Bardy and an investigation began which led to officers searching his rented office in Dagenham and ultimately his arrest in November 2010.
It was discovered that he was approaching charities and offering his services as a charity collector and once he had gained their trust, he would establish contact with the train operation companies seeking to have authorised charity collectors at stations on specific dates to collect donations from commuters.
Charity collectors were then able to attend in possession of appropriate ID and letters from charities, completely unaware of what was being said and done in their name.
Although some of these collections may have been legitimate, Bardy admitted some money collected had been taken for himself.
Sentencing Bardy to 13 months imprisonment for each offence concurrently, Judge Henry Blacksell said: "You made multiple fraudulent, deceiving transactions over the years. It was a breach of trust and a representation which causes people to suffer.
"You are a manipulator, and a dishonest man."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - In the heart of conference season it may not surprise you that the Jacksonville University women's basketball team spent the evening of February 10th on the court. What may surprise you is that the time spent was not for their own practice, but to reach out to the children of the DuPont YMCA basketball teams in Jacksonville, Florida. The Dolphins spent the afternoon talking to 7U, 8U and 9U teams and their families about their experience of being collegiate student-athletes and the hard work that it took to get there.
The children were able to play their favorite Fins in a game of 1 on 1 and later received autographs. "It was a great opportunity to build relationships with children in the local community and to excite them about the possibilities for their future," said current junior guard LaDeyah Forte. "I remember myself at that age and how much I looked up to those older than me playing the game of basketball so we wanted to make sure they had an incredible experience."
DuPont YMCA Basketball Director Ed Feren said this about the experience his team members received: "The ladies of Jacksonville University showed what they have displayed on the court all year- great heart. It was an event that is sure to last in the memories of all those who got a chance to meet and talk with these fine women."
The team will spend an afternoon at Wolfson Children's Hospital on March 21st to visit patients and their families for their next service event.

Linux software company Red Hat posted a 17 percent growth in quarterly revenue that didn't quite meet Wall Street's expectations, but it generated significantly more profit than a year ago.
Shares of the Raleigh-based company initially tumbled as much as 13 percent in after-hours trading Wednesday, but then rose and recouped most of those losses. The company reported its results for its fiscal fourth quarter that ended Feb. 28 after the markets closed.
Charlie Peters, the company's chief financial officer, said in an interview that investors may have been spooked at first by the company's 9 percent growth in billings for the quarter, versus a 31 percent increase a year ago. Billings represent new orders in which the bill has been sent.
Peters recounted during a conference call with analysts – and reiterated in the interview – that in this case, lower billings doesn't mean business was down, because Red Hat's backlog, which represents orders that have been booked but not yet billed, rose 40 percent.
"We had really strong business," Peters said. "You need to add the billings and the backlog to get the true picture of the strength of the business."
For example, a three-year contract worth $1 million a year could include $1 million in billings and $2 million in backlog if the customer wants to be billed a year at a time. But if that same customer decides to pay for the entire three years at the outset, it would represent $3 million in billings.
Red Hat posted $347.9 million in revenue in the quarter, compared with $349.3 million that had been projected by analysts polled by Bloomberg News. However, revenue would have been $351 million if not for foreign currency fluctuations, Peters said.
Net income came in at $70 million, or 36 cents per share, up from $57 million a year ago, after excluding stock compensation and amortization. Analysts had projected 30 cents per share.
Red Hat is in the midst of shifting its headquarters from N.C. State University's Centennial Campus to downtown Raleigh, a move that it expects to complete at the end of May or the beginning of June. The company has about 1,000 employees locally and nearly 5,600 worldwide.
Red Hat's open-source software is free. The company makes money by charging for maintenance and support and for services such as training and consulting.
Red Hat's software is significantly cheaper than that of its competitors, which has stood it in good stead in both up and down economies.
"Revenue has grown every quarter for the last 11 years," or 44 consecutive quarters, Peters said.
For the full fiscal year, revenue totaled $1.33 billion, up 17 percent from a year earlier. Net income totaled $240 million for the year, up from $216 million the prior fiscal year.
Earlier Wednesday, Red Hat shares closed at $49.97, up 72 cents.
On Monday, Red Hat shares fell 4 percent after Raymond James analyst Michael Turtis downgraded the stock from "outperform" to "market perform."
Turtis wrote in a research note that the company's growth pace could be hurt by pricing pressures and deceleration of customers migrating from proprietary Unix software to Red Hat's offerings.
"(Sales) channel reports of migration strength remain mixed, but some thought this year could be the peak," he wrote.

Former Kimball City Councilman in court on theft related charges
A former Kimball city councilman sentenced to prison last summer for the attempted first degree sexual assault of a child had a first appearance in Scotts Bluff County Court Friday on charges related to the theft of probate funds.
Scott Haun is accused of taking money from a woman's probate account while he was acting as the woman's conservator and guardian.
Court documents accuse Haun of taking nearly $20,000 from an account established for Doris Anderson of Kimball over 18 months beginning in May of 2010 to pay for his personal credit cards and for cash. Haun reportedly tried to cover up the withdrawals by inflating Anderson's expenditures, including her boarding costs.
The 50 year old Haun is facing two felony charges, theft by deception over $1,500, and abuse of a vulnerable adult.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 20th at 9:30 a.m.
