Questions surround Manchester school resignation
Nicholas Moutsioulis, 33, coached girls' basketball and girls' soccer for three seasons at West until he was terminated half way through the fall 2011 soccer season. Then in January 2012, he was placed on paid leave from his four-year job as a special education teacher at Manchester Memorial High School.
He surrendered his teaching certificate on April 26, 2012, because of an allegation of inappropriate conduct with a student not enrolled at Memorial, said Judith Fillion, who oversees teacher credentialing in the state.
Moutsioulis surrendered his certificate under a provision in state rules that allows surrender with the knowledge that revocation is likely, Fillion said.
Moutsioulis quit his Memorial teaching job the following day, according to Superintendent Tom Brennan.
A telephone message left at Moutsioulis' last known address - his parents' Lucas Road home - was not returned.
Brennan would not give reasons for Moutsioulis' suspension and departure, citing confidentiality policies for school personnel. Nor would he discuss specifics of what steps, if any, school authorities took once they found out about the allegation.
He said school officials followed the proper procedures required when allegations arise involving teacher-student situations. But he would not say if police were notified.
"Our policy is if there's inappropriate behavior, we take steps we deem are appropriate," Brennan said.
Manchester police said they have no record of an arrest or investigation into Moutsioulis. Nor do police in Auburn, where he lived in 2012.
Two months after he quit his job, Moutsioulis' wife - herself a special education teacher at West - filed for divorce, accusing him of "an adulterous relationship with a minor over whom he was in a position of authority."
The divorce petition, which Moutsioulis denied in his official response, referred to the "criminal nature of the conduct" and offered to provide more details if Moutsioulis' lawyer demanded. None was ever asked for, and the divorce was eventually granted.
West High was not unfamiliar territory for Moutsioulis. His mother, Nikki Moutsioulis, taught business education there for 34 years, retiring in 2008.
In her final year there, she orchestrated a staff petition drive to have McGorry, at the time an interim principal at West, named the permanent principal.
Nicholas started working there as a paraprofessional in 2007. After landing a teaching job at Memorial the following year, he remained close to West, taking the junior varsity soccer and basketball coaching positions in 2008-09 and then moving up to the varsity positions the following year.
One parent praised Moutsioulis for his easygoing, light-hearted style, beneficial as the girls struggled through losing seasons.
"He had a very good personality and got the girls through a tough time," said Scott Weldon, whose daughter played on the West teams coached by Moutsioulis. He did not know about the allegations until contacted by a reporter.
Weldon said he knew that Moutsioulis resigned. He had heard that Moutsioulis gave some of his players a ride to a West football game, and some parents believed that was inappropriate.
"It seemed it was as innocuous as that," said Weldon, who added that his daughter did not socialize with the team often.
Brennan would not say whether the allegations against Moutsioulis had anything to do with the investigation that led to McGorry's own resignation in January.
"There's all kind of conspiracy theories out there," Brennan said.
"I wouldn't even begin to respond to that," said McGorry's lawyer, Andru Volinsky, to suggestions that McGorry may have shielded Moutsioulis. "MaryEllen's a principal. She's not the administrator of the school district."

This type of blackout blind simply rolls down and stops light from entering the room. Because they have become so popular a number of new patterned and designer ranges have come onto the market and many contemporary designs have been introduced.

Vertical blackout blinds tend to be used where a roller blind is not suitable or the consumer needs a blind that can also be tilted to let small amounts of light in. A range of wipe able materials are proving there worth in areas where moisture is prevalent or a material can be cleaned often is required.
The largest selling of all skylight blinds, velux blinds enable you to experiment with patterns and style without compromising the integrity of the room. A roof blind can be as inventive or vivacious as you allow it to be.

text: I read that earlier in spring practice Andre Simmons was home in South Carolina but that he was expected to return. Can anyone confirm that he has indeed returned or is going to return? I was also thinking about his playing time last season and how his production and understanding of the offense was limited by his late arrival. Does anyone know if he is close to being able to claim a red shirt for last season? Thanks.

So here we are bronco fans, in the midst of a grueling QB controversy, battling the injury bug, dropping winnable games and witnessing the continued mediocrity of a once dominant franchise. The reasons behind the decline in fortunes of the Broncos are well documented, but lets lay some out, take a poll and find out what is REALLY driving folks nuts...after the jump!
The Good:
1. I am legitimately fired up about the rookie's overall play, and it seems like every pick has been a solid contributor except for MLB Nate Irving. The early play of Von Miller, Orlando Franklin, Rahim Moore and Julius Thomas demonstrates to me that our front office might be onto something.
2. An improving defense- better schemes and a LOT more QB pressure than the last 2 seasons. Some players have clearly elevated their game. Robert Ayers may not be a pro bowler at this point, but he has at least been solid. Joe Mays has been fun to watch as he lays the smackdown, even if he does get exploited in coverage; but at least, for now, when our defense is on the field I don't take it as a given that we will get iced on third down and hemorrhage yardage and points. More please!
3. Special teams play has been MUCH improved- yes, even the broken punt play last week against the titans. That was a lucky break for the enemy. Great punting team especially. But what should we expect with all the practice they are getting.
The Bad:
1. Our Running Game is painful to watch at times.
2. Overall QB play has not been good enough.
3. Play calling needs to improve- not sure we took even one deep shot last Sunday, which means teams can focus on stuffing the run and the short passing game.
Overall: SO, there we have it- we are a bottom third team but we are FINALLY moving in the right direction. So why all the angst? I have a few theories! Feel free to add more in the comments section.

Tennis: Reiga rubbing shoulders with the world's best
7:00am Friday 2nd November 2012 in Youth Sport By Echo Reporter
BOURNEMOUTH'S Reiga Belcher admits his chance to share a court with US Open and Olympic champion Andy Murray at the ATP World Tour Finals cannot come quickly enough.
After winning a nationwide competition from 2,500 children across the country the 14-year-old, along with fellow Bournemouth schoolboy Gianpiero Placidi, will be one of 30 Barclays Ball Kids at the O2 Arena in London from November 5 to 12.
Belcher spent his half-term at The Hampshire Racquets & Health Club being put through his paces ready for the week in the spotlight in the capital.
And while the St Peter's School pupil is expecting a tough week's work at the O2, Belcher can't wait to get acquainted with Murray and the rest of the world's top players.
"The training was pretty tiring," said Belcher, whose older brother Shuei was a Barclays Ball Kid at last year's tournament.
"It was really tough but at the same time everyone is in it together, we are all getting on very well and the hard work is all worth it in the end. I want to look cool out there on the court so practice makes perfect, you don't want to be the person tripping over and looking stupid.
"I absolutely love watching tennis so to think that I will be on the same court as the best eight players in the world is just amazing, I cannot wait for it to get started."
More than 20,000 spectators a day will see Belcher in action at the eight-day season finale, which sees the cream of world tennis go head-to-head for total prize money of nearly £3m. And while itching to get started, the Southbourne Tennis Club youngster believes there'll be more than a few nerves.
"I will be very nervous before the first match but excited at the same time," he added. "But when I'm right up close on the court I just can't imagine what that will feel like."

Last offseason Ben Gordon reached an agreement to play for the Detroit Pistons for the next 5 years.He signed a lucrative $58 million contract for the next 5 years,despite no other team expressed any serious interest.Gordon averaged a career high 20.7 points last season for Chicago Bulls, leading the team in scoring for the fourth straight year.Also he had been coming off a fantastic playoff series against the Celtics, in which he averaged a team-high 24.3 points in seven games.
So how is he doing now that he got that big contract he had been demanding for the last 2 years?Let's see:
He is averaging 14.3 points per game which is a career low.Even as a rookie Gordon had 15.1 ppg.In January,when he lost 8 games due to injury, he averaged just 9.2 ppg in 6 games scoring 9,11,20,0(in just 6 min),10 and 5.But in February being healthy he averages 9.7 ppg scoring 7,26,5,18,3,8,6,4,21,11,0(0-4 in 19 minutes!!!),8.
Last year? 20.7ppg,which means he averages 6.4 ppg less this year.
He shoots fg at .425,which tops only his first 2 years.The last 3 years had .455, .434, .455
The most disappointing statistic though is his 3 point shooting.He shoots from the 3pt line at .308,when each of the previous 5 years shot at least .405.
Also he has career lows in rebounds,though no one expects much from him in this area 1,5 rpg is pretty bad,and his assists are down this year.
I understand that this year Ben has had his injuries,which may have affected his play.Also his minutes are down hurting his averages a bit.But still Ben Gordon shouldn't be that bad.His defense is as always bad,so when he doesn't score much,he is not useful at all.It's not coincidence to me that there were rumours at the trading deadline about a potential trade.He is another example of a long list of players having career highs,just before they become free agents,and then next year they relax quite a bit(hello jerome james).His poor 3point shooting proves that he didn't work that much this year.Hopefully next year he returns to form,cause I still like him as a player and a person (though Stan Van Gundy doesn't agree to this as called him a bully recently)and I have some wonderful memories from him,that I will always be grateful.But still to me he will always be a great sixth man like Smith in Denver and Crawford in Atlanta, that is worth not more than the midlevel exception,perhaps around $6-7 millions.
Next year I hope we'll finally have a great sg whether he is Wade or Johnson(LeBron stays in Cleveland anyway),and I don't care if after 4-5 successful years regresses a bit.Ray Allen of course is fading as his great career near the end,but still is better than Gordon in his prime this year.

Fight predictions
OK, so putting aside the fact that i hate almost everything about the way josh koschek is, as a fighter he is talented, BUT is he more talented than Gsp? Koschek can win if he catches Gsp with a good right, on the ground i truely believe Gsp's wrestling is too good, his jiu jitsu is also very good. So josh Koschek's chance is on the feet.
Gsp, This guy continually gets better, every fight he looks better than the fight before. Since that matt hughes loss and the bj penn battle he has just dominated this weight class. He has a great chance to win this fight in any aspect of his game, hes stronger, hes faster and more technical, just circle away from that power punch and you've got this one sir!

It's the season of gift-giving, and while sweaters and electronics are nice, the gift of a pet might not be the best choice.
According to Donna Apgar with Winnebago County Animal Services, pets may not fit the recipient's lifestyle. They may not be able to afford it, have time to care for it, or may just not like the type of pet chosen. Unfortunately, unwanted pets usually end up in shelters.
"We want to avoid that," Apgar says. "We want pets to be a forever commitment and at least a lifetime commitment of the pet, because it is a life you're dealing with."
Apgar says if you're committed to the idea of giving a pet as a gift, pet certificates are an option that would allow the recipient to choose the animal of their choice.

Jury see murder trial victim Jamie Dack on CCTV
5:15pm Thursday 18th October 2012 in News By Julian Robinson, Eastleigh Chief Reporter
JURORS have today viewed CCTV footage of Jamie Dack in Southampton three days before his body was found in a burning bin.
The 22-year-old was seen at Tesco on Lodge Road on April 5 and on the same day coming and going from Patrick House hostel.
The footage was captured just days before his body was found at Empress Road on Easter Sunday.
Winchester Crown Court was also shown footage from Thursday and Good Friday of the movements of four people accused of murdering Jamie.
Lee Nicholls, Andrew Dwyer-Skeats, Donna Chalk and Ryan Woodmansey all deny murder. The three men have admitted perverting the course of justice by disposing of and setting fire to Jamie's body. Chalk denies that charge.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence
Complex moments of the Gabor power spectrum yield estimates of the N-folded symmetry of the local image content at different frequency scales, that is, they allow to detect linear, rectangular, hexagonal/triangular, and so on, structures with very fine to very coarse resolutions. Results from experiments on the unsupervised segmentation of real textures indicate their importance for image processing applications. Real geometric moments computed in Gabor space also provide for very powerful texture features, but lack the clear geometrical interpretation of complex moments.

(Insert bitch fest about lockout)... so I'm going to write up some stuff on a few players I feel are ready to make a big jump for our Eagles.
Height: 6-4
Weight: 315
Experience: 4
Info: McGlynn took over about 3 snaps into 2010 when Jamaal's triceps tore. He played pretty well throughout the year, in fact for a guy who never played center before last off-season in mini-camps he made a tremendous jump and really had a big learning curve to deal with. Think about all the calls he had to learn, he needs to know how deep the QB's going, he needs to know as much, if not more than the Quarterback does about each and every play, on top of that the physical aspects are difficult, try making a clean snap while stepping into your block, it's not easy. I personally loved McGlynn out in space, he moves well for a 300lb man, and he really got out there on screens and sprung McCoy a number of times.
Why I think he'll emerge?.. Mudd's system relies on athletic offensive lineman, and a smart center.. McGlynn physical gifts match what's needed from a physical standpoint, and any man who can learn how to play center in the span of a few months and then come in at the NFL level and play as well as he did is smart as hell.
Height: 6-9
Weight: 325lbs
Experience: 4
Info: King played in 14 games last season, 5 of which were starts. He filled in for Jason Peters for 2 games where he actually shut down Abraham and did very well against Babin, so he stood his ground against 2 of the best DE's in the league last season. Then in the 3 games where he filled in for Justice he held his ground once again against Osi, Tuck, Edwards and Spencer..
Why do I think he'll emerge?... King's not exactly what Mudd looks for in an OLman, however he's got a tremendous skill set and has been improving vastly every season, I could see him making a push for Justice's job considering he's the cheaper option of the two he could end up being our RT.
Height: 6-1
Weight: 270lbs
Experience: 6
Info: Tapp seemed to be around the ball whenever he was on the field, the Eli fumble is a big example, the guy just got to the ball. Tapp had 27 tackles, 3 sacks, 4 pass defenses, and 3 fumble recoveries.. He's a pass rusher who's very quick and plays with good leverage.
Why I think he'll emerge?.. LDE is wide open with Graham's injury, Parker being largely ineffective when played to much, and there being no other true veteran presence.. that and I feel (aside from Graham) he's the best fit for Washburns system. What does Washburn ask his DE's to do? Line up and get after the QB.. what does Tapp like to do? Line up and get after the QB.. It's that simple, the system's tailored for players like Tapp.
Height: 6-0
Weight: 196
Experience: shitty.
Info: Marlin's a walking medical ward, however when he's healthy he's a first round talent and actually looking back at his days with the Colts he was pretty good. We wanted him at Safety, but then he got hurt. Here's to hoping he stays healthy.
Why do I think he'll emerge you ask??? Because he's a very talented player, I think his injuries and such are in the past and he'll be able to give us a few healthy seasons before he's completely spent. I don't think he'll be a starter but right now with the giant hole at RCB and Nate Allen's injury there's no doubt he has a great shot to make this team and play quite a bit.
Let me know what you think, I left some obvious guys like Lindley, the incoming rookies, Chaney etc out because we know so much about them and their chances already.

2011 French Open – Nick's Picks – Women's Singles Round 1
Francesca Schiavone (ITA) vs. Melanie Oudin (USA)
This is going to be a very interesting match to see how far Oudin has come. She burst onto the scene a couple of years ago, but she hasn't been able to repeat that performance since. It hasn't been easy for Oudin, but a win here would certainly get her back on track. When playing Schiavone, the defending champion, she cannot try and rally with her because Schiavone is too tough from the baseline. Oudin is going to have to gamble and take chances whenever she can. She must force the issue and try and keep Schiavone off-balance.
On the other side, there are questions about Schiavone heading into the tournament. Can she repeat her performance from 2010? That would be a huge challenge, but she definitely has the tools necessary to win the title again. She is 2-1 against Oudin in her career and I look for her to advance, but this should be a good test for the Italian.
Nick's Pick – Schiavone in 2 sets
Jelena Jankovic (SRB) vs. Alona Bondarenko (UKR)
These two women know each other really well and there will be no surprises out there. Jankovic has dominated their previous matches, winning 12 of 13. Included in that was a win in last year's French Open in straight sets. Bondarenko will not overpower Jankovic, but she moves well, plays smart and will try and force Jankovic to over-hit. Against Jankovic, that is not enough. I look for the Serb to clear her mind and take advantage of her athletic talents and win this match in straight sets. If Jankovic has any doubts this could go three, but I don't see that happening.
Nick's Pick – Jankovic in 2 sets
Maria Sharapova (RUS) vs. Mirjana Lucic (CRO)
I know both of these women well as they have spent plenty of time at the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy training in the past. Lucic is one heck of a fighter and she will never relent. She goes for broke on every shot, is in fantastic shape and moves extremely well. Does she have enough firepower to beat Sharapova though?
Sharapova is brimming with confidence on clay, which isn't something I could have said in the past. She just won the Italian Open and now everyone is going to be expecting big things from her in Paris. Her serve is cranking and her movement has been excellent. Lucic will make Sharapova fight for every point, but in the end, I just feel that Sharapova has too much confidence and offensive power.
Nick's Pick – Sharapova in 2 sets
Andrea Petkovic (GER) vs. Bojana Jovanovski (SRB)
Jovanovski is a young Serbian (19) who is really more of a doubles player right now. She started off 2011 strong, but has really been struggling as of late. She hits the ball really well from both sides, likes to come in and she is an excellent volleyer. Petkovic is going to move her all over the court and that could be trouble for her as I am not sure right now she can handle the German's power.
Petkovic has had a very good year and she climbed the rankings to #15 in the world. She has struggled a bit in the clay-court season, but she also seems to come up with the goods during the Grand Slams. She hits the crud out of the ball from both wings and has really changed her attitude around. She had been known to choke in the past, but not anymore as she is now one of the top women in the game. She has never faced the young Serb, but I am looking for her to advance in straight sets.
Nick's Pick – Petkovic in 2 sets

Silly, me. I just realized the photo of the two markers probably are Hiram and his Dad, John Ernest Daniels.
I knew they are in the same cemetery, but I did not realize they are side by side.
If you happen to be in the cemetery, you may wish to retake the photo without all the snow. Perhaps we will be able o read the markers then.
Thanks for all you do.

John Hiram Daniels 65136921
Hello. The photo of two markers in the snow on this memorial (Crown Hill Cemetery) is the same photo that is on the memorial for Hiram's Dad.
The markers cannot be read, but Hiram was not married, so I think he is not included in this photo.
Will you, please, remove it from this memorial? Can you tell me what the markers say?
Thanks and best wishes

I wish I could take credit for doing it intentionally. I was out that way and knew that cemetery hadn't been photographed completely, so I stopped by and did it. It was just coincidental you had a photo request in! But you're welcome anyway. :-)

Kudos to Android
A week ago I began using my new iPhone 4S after having used an Android phone for the last few years. The platform switch has brought with it some adjustments in how I interact with my phone that have made Android's strengths clear to me. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my decision to go with the iPhone for now, but I want to add at least one non-religious voice on the Android vs. Apple discussion. What follows are four big things that I miss about Android.
1. Serendipity, CM, MIUI, etc.
One of the initial reasons for going with Android despite being a life-long Apple (computer) user was the desire to be in (near) total control of my device. Although I enjoy Apple's design aesthetic generally, I have a streak inside me that sides very strongly with the principle behind open-source software: that you can only trust software that you have the ability to alter in any way that you see fit. Having the ability to customize the appearance of my phone as well as its memory usage and security (or lack thereof) was and is really appealing. All of these things were possible because Android allows one to easily obtain control over all of the processes that are running on the phone, including the OS itself. This ability also makes possible one of the coolest aspects of having an Android phone: loading custom ROMS (custom versions of the operating system). In the few years that I had an Android phone I used just about all of the major ROMs and participated in not a few heated battles on the relative merits of each one. This was a lot of fun. There are some really smart people working on these roms as evidenced by the fact that there are already nearly feature complete Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs available and ICS has just barely been released.
In the end I decided to go with Apple at this point in my life because I don't currently have much time to tinker with my phone and I need it to work solidly all the time. The security that comes from knowing that my hardware/software combination has been extensively tested is very beneficial for me right now and is one of the principal reasons I went with the iPhone. The same goes for 3rd party apps. Given that I don't have time to tweak my phone right now, Apple's walled garden is attractive to me because I have a little more certainty that the apps that I download from the App Store will actually work on the phone.
2. Swype
No keyboard will be efficient for everyone. That being said, I miss the Swype keyboard that was installed on my Galaxy S class device. It took about a week to get the hang of it when I first bought the phone, but after the break-in period the Swype keyboard just felt very solid when responding to emails and texts on the device. Somehow stabbing at the keyboard seems much more error prone to me. I recognize that this opinion is entirely subjective and many people have exactly the opposite feeling.
3. Hardware options
The build quality of my iPhone 4S is unmatched in the market currently. That being said, I enjoy that in the Android universe I could get a 4, 4.3 or 4.5 inch screen if I wanted to. While I like the Apple hardware, it is true that 3.5 inches seems a little small in some circumstances. Especially when browsing the web. Although space is generally used quite efficiently in iOS, it would still be beneficial to have space used just as efficiently on a larger screen.
4. Gmail support
While my work email goes through an exchange server, all of my personal email happens through Gmail and there is no better Gmail implementation than that of Android. There were even certain Gmail-related tasks for which I preferred to use my phone over a desktop or laptop. Deleting emails from my inbox, for example, was at times an exultant experience on my Android phone. Not to mention labels, staring, etc. Apple isn't quite to that point in their Gmail support. Even Google's iOS application isn't as good an experience (or even close really).
In the end, I am very happy with my switch to the iPhone. It is the right move for me at this point in my life. I really like the fact that the OS feels so quick and smooth when operating. Scrolling isn't jumpy and zooming feels natural. I also like that the apps and OS are so internally consistent. The design language is consistent so when I am doing new things on the phone there is usually a natural guess for how to do that thing and that guess is usually right.* However, Android has a lot going for it. Furthermore, from the early reviews of ICS it appears that some of the issues that I had with Android have been dealt with (at least in part) in the latest version of the software. I would love for it to be the case that in another year or so I could switch back to Android and have it be as aesthetically and functionally pleasing as iOS.
* In some ways, the iPhone vs. Android distinction has some similarity to the Python vs. Perl debates. With Apple, much like with Python, the designers seemed to be of the opinion that for any given task there should be one, obvious, correct way to do it. With Perl and on some levels Android it seems like the system was not entirely internally consistent and that there were always multiple ways to do a certain thing, each with pros and cons that needed to be weighed. This comparison is imperfect at best, but useful in my opinion.

Affiliate of Once-Mighty Foreclosure Firm Lays Off 96 More Workers, May Close Within 60 Days
Posted Feb 15, 2011 3:43 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
Once a massive back office for Florida's busiest mortgage foreclosure law firm, DJSP Enterprises appears to be on its last legs.
Another 96 layoffs there were announced today, bringing the total tally of workers laid off since last fall to approximately 1,000, reports the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
At one point, along with the Plantation law offices of David J. Stern, the company reportedly was handling nearly 70,000 foreclosure cases annually and it reportedly grossed $260 million in 2009.
A layoff notice said further terminations may occur at DJSP Enterprises within the next two months and that the company may also cease operations during that period.
"Obviously, this is a difficult time for the business," a company spokesman told the newspaper.

The title race in La Liga is over, at least as far as the defending champions are concerned. It's mid-December, and after a 2-2 home draw against Espanyol, Real Madrid have now dropped fifteen points so far this year. Barcelona have dropped four.
In what is now symptomatic of Los Blancos' season, the hosts were dominant but failed to kill off the match, which combined with lackadaisical defending allowed the visitors to find themselves in a position to get a result. How many times have we seen Real Madrid laying siege to the opponents' goal only to slip up and allow a silly goal on the counterattack?
That's exactly what happened here. The hosts were by far the better side dominant in all phases of the game, and Fransisco Casilla's left-hand post hadn't even stopped ringing from Luka Modric's 20-yard-effort when Espanyol took a surprise lead, with Joan Verdu threading in a through ball between Madrid's centre backs for Sergio Garcia to rip pass Iker Casillas.
1-0 to Espanyol was never going to last, and Cristiano Ronaldo restored parity with a stabbed volley off Sami Khedira's cross in the last action of the first half. And it looked as though the tide had turned in favour of Real Madrid when Fabio Coentrao opened the second half with a superb run and neat finish to give the hosts a 2-1 lead.
But they failed to add to that, and as the full time whistle loomed with the visitors still in touching distance Madrid's defending got increasingly nervy. In the 88th minute a scramble in Casillas' box was knocked behind for a corner. Another scramble followed, and this time the ball fell to Juan Albin, who poked home from six yards.
There was barely any time for Real Madrid to mount a response, and the closest they came to a winner was badly wasted when Morata, on for Jose Callejon in the 73rd minute, badly miscontrolled a Mesut Ozil pass with Casilla's goal at his mercy. That would prove to be the last significant action of the match -- another deeply disappointing one for Los Blancos.

With self-publishing, it sounds like you have more control, but in reality, you have too much control. The book publishing process is complex, and most new authors do not have the needed expertise to effectively publish and market their own books, profitably, in the current publishing industry.
Now perhaps you're thinking, "It doesn't take much to put a cover on a book" or "I'll just do my own research." We have found that while the self-publishing books and manuals currently on the market can be an excellent source for names and addresses of vendors to contact, those vendors have no time or inclination to properly guide you on how to make your book professionally appealing or successful. Could a book even teach you the skill behind cover design? Do you know how to match the cover to the contents inside graphically? Do you know how to intrigue the buyer? Do you know which two colors to avoid using when designing your cover?
Unless you are experienced in the world of publishing, it is unlikely that you will have the knowledge to decide on difficult industry-related decisions. To properly publish a book, you must prepare the manuscript editorially, design and produce the book, register the book with all of the appropriate databases, get competent book reviewers, prepare proper press releases and gain media attention, and market your book to distributors, wholesalers, booksellers and the retail demographic. It is nearly impossible for a first time author to see his way down the self-publishing path without inadvertently missing large opportunities for sales or unknowing making mistakes that hinder book sales. For example, the following are some basic questions you'll have to answer to publish your book: Do you know where to get the best wholesale prices for printing of your books? Do you have any contacts with distributors and/or wholesalers to make your books available in bookstores? Do you have 10 or more titles in print to help you get the best rates with vendors in the book industry? Do you know the things book stores look for to eliminate self-published books?
The "Print on Demand" concept was developed to eliminate costly inventory of books waiting to be sold. The premise is sound as it leaves more money available for marketing by either the author or publisher; unfortunately, the quality is not of the same standard as offset printing. You must not mistake a publisher, who deals in all facets of the publishing process, for a printer whose main area of expertise is printing a book. At Legacy Publishing, our 18 years in the publishing industry and familiarity with affiliated companies will give you the same benefits as if you had published that many books by yourself!
Since "Print on Demand" is generally less concerned with designing covers and interior layout and assisting with marketing and promotion of the book, the author does not receive the same quality and services as he would with a true publisher that has a vested interest in selling large quantities of books. Their main focus appears to be printing for the author as requested. A "Print on Demand" publisher will offer the author services such as page layout and cover design but the company may only have a few generic cover designs for the author to choose from. Also, as they generally spend little time on the interior layout, it may look unprofessional and of sub-standard quality.
In researching "Print on Demand," we have also found that these "publishers" charge the author for all set-up fees to produce the book, but do not provide the author with any books to recoup this initial investment. When it is time for the author to purchase books from them at wholesale prices to sell at the retail level, the wholesale price is extremely inflated. The increased wholesale price creates an over-inflated retail price which will be more than the market will bear, and will make the book difficult to sell.
At Legacy Publishing, we work closely with our authors to ensure that they are actively involved in all decision making but guided by a professional staff with extensive experience in the field of publishing, as well as creative writing, marketing and graphic design. These are just some of the things to consider before diving headfirst into unknown territory. It's your dream…Let Legacy help you get there.
Reality Checks in Book Publishing
By Amy Welsh
Breaking into the field of publishing as a writer has been an enlightening yet somewhat sobering experience. Fresh out of a bachelor's program in Creative Writing with a previous career in Public Relations, I understood how to make my voice heard on any subject and positively influence public opinion on my work but was lacking in knowledge on the tedious process of publishing that begins after a manuscript is accepted by a publishing house. These truths that I discovered are intended not to discourage, but to eliminate the element of surprise from your publishing experience and allow you foresee potential problems before they become detrimental.
Reality Check Number One: 200,000 new titles are published annually.
Reality Check Number Two: You must sell a book five times.
Reality Check Number Three: Distributionand feedback are inefficient.
Reality Check Number Four: Book publishing has no test-marketing apparatus.
Reality Check Number Five: Books are not technically "essentials", i.e. water, clothing…
Reality Check Number Six: A massive promotion budget won't buy thirty seconds on any prime time sitcom.
Reality Check Number Seven: Most books have little staying power.
Reality Check Number Eight: Every book is unique, but almost none can be treated as such.
Reality Check Number Nine: Bad air drives out the good.
Reality Check Number Ten: The bad gets worse.

I have a few questions about the last capped year, uncapped year, etc and how they will impact the draft.
Does anyone have the technical knowledge to answer them?
What is the impact of:
a) the last capped year
b) the uncapped year
c) rumors of a POTENTIAL end of the draft
d) the rookie pay scale
on trading into forward years for picks?
will teams want 2010 draft picks b/c it may be the last draft?
will draft picks for 2010 be at a premium b/c a rookie pay scale might make them cheap?
what are the structural and strategic considerations for trading into 2010 and 2011?

Available on eBay now - Coming soon to eBook!
Ironically, if it were not for the great financial debacle of 2008, this Guide may never have happened.
In 2007, I was laid off from an upper management job that included managing 44 Million dollar a year operations including retail. I decided to sell my Hot Wheels collection of over 50, 000 pieces. This decision was based primarily for two reasons. 1) I was paying $200/Month in storage fees and, 2) I found it was impossible to find Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts.
Since their inception in 1995, I had only collected 7 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts in a span of 12 years.. This was not for lack of trying. I felt like I spent every waking hour searching Wal-Marts, Targets and every other retailer I could find only to come up with no results. I managed to sell my complete collection on EBay except for 2 vehicles: the 1969 VW Beach Bomb with surfboards in the rear as well as its matching counterpart, the VW Beach Bomb with surfboards in the sides. Aside from those 2 vehicles, I ended my career as a Hot Wheels' Collector . Even though I had been collecting since 1967, I no longer wanted to be frustrated by my search for Treasure Hunts.
2008 yielded a job offer in upper management to a new city. This city had one Wal-Mart, one Kmart, 2 Walgreen's Drug, one 99 Cent Store, one Toys 'R Us (a short drive away) and two Kroger Grocery. I relocated only to find out the company was downsizing instead of growing, a symptom of 2008 and I found myself jobless.
That night, I walked into a Wal-Mart and found 7 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts. The excitement was like nothing I had felt in all my years of collecting except when I had found each of the VW Beach Bombs. The key was the time I had gone into that Wal-Mart which was an entirely unexpected time. Although I did get a job doing what I didn't want to do, my hobby had been reborn. The only difference was that I no longer wanted to collect but preferred to sell instead.
The most important thing I did that day was jot a note on my calendar when I had found the Treasure Hunts. I also noted my calendar for the rest of the year. This was also the year that I started going to Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart, Walgreen's Drug, Big Lots, 99 Cent Store, Toys 'R Us, Target and Kroger Grocery every day for at least a year. I had the Treasure Hunt Bug! Ultimately, 2008 was the year that began my Wal-Mart and Kroger Grocery run for four consecutive years of going in everyday and recording delivery days and times.
2009 matched 2008 to a close degree when I could expect deliveries. I wondered if I could base my delivery searches on the year prior's calendar. I used my experience as a Manager to construct a detailed daily record. 2009 yielded over 200 Treasure Hunts!
2010 and 2011 yielded much more success being noted as the first years that I had found each and every regular and Super Treasure Hunt Series Car for those years. 2011 was also the first year that I had found over 500 Treasure hunts in a year. Diligently, I kept noting my scores at each and every retailer. But, I was spending a lot of money on fuel for a good number of fruitless searches. It became apparent that I did not have to go searching every day.
2012 became the year that instead of going out and searching every day, I would use the Calendar created from the years prior and limit my runs to only those dates highlighted on the historical calendar. 2012 yielded my record total at 656 Treasure Hunts in a year. I also made 35,000 of revenue from reselling Hot Wheels. 2012 was the year I decided that other Hot Wheels collectors would want to know this. This was the first Guide that discussed retailers as if you were in the back room discussing historical records of deliveries with a receiving manager.
In 2013, the 1st Edition of the Treasure Hunter's Guide 2013 published on EBay. The Editions, numbered 1st through 3rd, has received a multitude of positive comments with my favorite comments being those stories of fathers and sons being brought closer together, the Collector's first Dump Bin Score and those comments that say a work like this is long overdue.
The goal of this book is to make Hot Wheels Treasure Hunting more accessible to all Collectors as well as to make Treasure Hunting fun again. As you will learn on the field, Treasure Hunting is highly competitive and I am one of many to make a lot of money on Hot Wheels. Whether it be a hard-core collector or one who sells for profit, They know that the trick is to be at the right place, at the right time, before anybody else. If there's one thing you will quickly learn, the first to a Dump Bin, Case, Scavenger Cube or End Cap, all Collectors will take all the Treasure Hunts. Very few leave a Treasure Hunt for the next Collector…many may argue the point but the fact remains that .success means you have to be there first. This Guide will give you a leg up on the competition. Very few people can remember the exact date and time items came in the year prior much less 3 years prior. It is this historical pattern that will give you the best odds to be in the right place, at the right time!
Please take a look at the website findtreasurehunts.com for 2013 Hot Wheels Treasure Hunt releases as well as EBay Quick Links for all Treasure Hunts made from 1995 – 2013. The website also lists the addresses of all Kroger Grocery nationwide – my favorite Choice for Hot Wheels Collectors.
This year, I anticipate Hot Wheels Sales of $50, 000. I use the information in this book alone to get there….Thank goodness for 2008!
This book was designed for you, the Hot Wheels Collector, whether young or experienced, I believe this Guide will benefit you by putting you in the right place at the right time.

What happens you put Dropkick Murphys, Less Than Jake, NOFX, Blink 182, and a heap of great bands all in the same CD… Well… You get something like World Warped III… If you have the money, get it. Along with the bands I mentioned you also get songs from bands you may not have heard… And that's always good.

All these bands come together and make it happen. Its awsome! This cd is great. I recommend it to any fan of blink 182, pennywise, nofx, of h20. World Warped III Live is a must buy.
There's not much to say about this cd, but if you like the music you'll hear on the Warped Tour, than this cd is definitely for you.
I never listen to a cd as this one . There is no one song that I alway's skip because I don't like it, I listen to it every days . I own this CD since the second days that he was in store . If you like punk music, this cd is a must-have and I tell you that every song are great.
This CD is great, and is a must have for any punker. Although it's called World Warped III and contains bands that were on the warped tour in recent years, none of the shows on this disc are recorded from warped tour, most are from clubs and various other shows. Most of the recordings are terrific quality, while others like NOFX appears to be recorded from a bootleg.If you like Dropkick Murphy's, the first track contains "Barroom Hero" live, with Al Barr singing, it's the best version of this song I've ever heard because the crowd sings along and it's cool to hear Al Barr singing the song, he does a great job.

Apple's next iPad Mini will have a Samsung-made Retina display, says report August 1, 2013 at 11:40 am
Just about everything has a Retina or "retinal" screen nowadays. Most products from the company that coined the phrase, Apple, come in a Retina version, but not the popular iPad Mini. With a new Mini on the horizon, reports are now suggesting that the device will receive the Retina upgrade, and that the screen will be made by rival company Samsung.
Apple prepping IGZO displays for next-gen iPad to cut power consumption, boost image quality July 10, 2013 at 1:08 pm

The past, present, and future of bionic eyes December 7, 2012 at 11:13 am
These days researchers are trying to do a little better than the grainy images provided through currently available vision prosthesis. Signal processing techniques that were developed in the Cold War era to track and target incoming missiles have evolved into techniques that can be used to enhance retinal implants. What can we expect from new devices as they are brought to market?
The iPad Mini's display isn't Retina, but it's still good enough November 5, 2012 at 1:28 pm
This screen that so many people are calling "Ugly" is actually higher quality than the top-of-the-line iPad's screen from earlier this year. Apple's decision to ship the iPad Mini without a Retina display was wise from a business point of view. It is good enough for now, and that's the entire point.

As the upcoming NFL season is fast approaching I wanted to challenge those on this site, both front page writers and the rest of us members to help take this site to the next level. Here on BTB we have many talented bloggers and I love the variety that we bring. I think that this is something that needs to continue and to even think about what the "Next Level" is. I've noticed it slowly starting to happen in the way that we're doing analysis (Coty, Norm, KD) are first to come to mind, but something I saw from an "eagles fan" (ugh) I had to really respect and say, "Hey this would be great to have on BTB.
here's the link and i have to admit that it's amazing!
Could you imagine the endless possibilities of something like this? Now I'm not saying there's something wrong with BTB because we don't have it, and I love it here. But if there are people out there with these kinds of skills within our community who have the know-how and the time to do this, I encourage you to
steal "adopt" this idea.
Also if you are in anyway sad that an Eagles fan came up with this first WATCH THE NNAMDI VIDEO IT WILL MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER!!!!!!!!!
So tell me, is this something you'd like to see on BTB. If so Rec this or show your approval in the comments, and maybe a front page writer or someone from our community with these talents may be more inclined to do this knowing how much it would be appreciated it. (I would have just added a poll to evaluate this but for some reason I can't attach one right now)
