Approach to Community News
A distinctive approach for covering and presenting local news—journalism for and with the community—is built into the Banyan model and its software. Community news co-ops that license the software and related services from the nonprofit Banyan Publishing Corp. will use our model as a base but have significant latitude to fit their coverage approach to their own communities.
Under our model, a professional editor directs not only freelance writers but also an array of dedicated co-op members and interns to create a robust community news report. Banyan-affiliated co-ops, as community institutions, are designed to engage as many community residents as possible, as outlined below.
The editor will be responsible for all that is published on the site, making sure that the content fulfills three ideals that underpin the Banyan model:
1) Journalism as the reliable information that people need to make their best life and citizenship decisions.
2) The value proposition that readers will experience the co-op's journalism as relevant to their lives, respectful of them as people, and worthy of their trust.
3) Commitment to serving the the broad public, not just the affluent readers newspapers tend to target.
In a time when journalism is widely distrusted and the term itself has lost fixed meaning, making these ideals explicit on co-op websites will let the community know what to expect. Fulfilling them creates trust, a value the co-op can monetize through memberships, and widens the potential universe of members.
The basics
- Day-to-day coverage of institutions, issues and community happenings ranging from city council meetings to school sports, plus features that reveal the community and celebrate the lives of its people.
- Regular coverage of topics including business, the environment, arts, and education.
- Question of the Week, a feature that engages the community in the software's civic engagement spaces, and in the process often turns up information that leads to news stories. Readers will be asked to submit questions they think are crucial to community betterment.
- What's Working, a weekly feature focusing on things that go well in the community an affiliate co-op serves.
- Quarterly major reporting projects that use a four-stage collaborative process that engages the community in identifying what demands coverage, then in crowdsourcing to help the professional who will report and write the project.
- Life-issue reporting, concise but useful items that help less-than-affluent people deal with the life issues that press on them and their loved ones, such as personal finance, health and jobs. The Banyan nonprofit will provide the items to affiliated co-ops, which may customize them for their community if they wish.
- A local resource bank offering a wealth of links to reliable information, especially community resources that people can tap to make their lives better and to help one another, as well as a comprehensive calendar of community events.
The tone and writing style will reflect the lives and experiences of the broad public. Banyan will urge affiliated co-ops never to write in the jargon of experts and elites that is so common in the mainstream press; instead it will encourage focusing on the stories of regular people and tell them in the language they use.
Banyan's software is designed to deliver journalism that is primarily text, supplemented with still images, graphics, video and audio. The devotion to text rests on Banyan's mission to strengthen democracy, in which text has special power in that it engages reason more easily than images do.
The co-ops will offer the news not only through their websites but also in RSS feeds and a daily e-mail blast of headlines.
Staff and writers
The minimum staff for a Banyan-affiliated co-op will consist of two full-time professionals and a half-time administrator who serves as office manager, membership and advertiser service rep, and tech co-oordinator. In addition, an array of community members will engage with the news-gathering process, greatly expanding the news report that a small staff can produce. Ideally, all engaged will live in the community or otherwise have a sophisticated knowledge of it. Here's the cast of characters:
Executive director —The person in day-to-day charge of all the co-op does. She or he will shoulder hybrid responsibilities, half publisher (optimizing all revenue streams and controlling expenses) and half community organizer (building community relationships, stirring civic engagement, and maximizing co-op membership). The co-op board will hire the executive director and he or she will report to them. The executive director will oversee the work of the editor, write a weekly column about goings-on in the community, and write a monthly newsletter for co-op members. She or he will have the option to hire a commissioned ad sales person if it seems necessary.
Editor —He or she will personally cover major institutions but devote most of her or his time to supervising the work of an array of freelancers, neighborhood correspondents and college and high school interns. She or he will select and assign freelance writers, including those who conduct the quarterly major reporting projects. Most fundamentally, the editor will ensure fulfillment of Banyan's value proposition, journalism definition, and commitment to serving the broad public. This means that the editor will edit and approve every bit of content before it's published.
Freelance writers —Experienced reporters who take specific assignments from the editor or who follow an topic such as business or the environment. All must be co-op members who work under a formal agreement as "producer members" with specific duties and who understand that the co-op's editor will supervise them. They will be paid from the co-op's freelance budget. (All non-staff writers, from top freelancers to high school interns, will work under this kind of arrangement; less skilled producer members, including high school interns, will receive modest honoraria.)
Neighborhood correspondents —A resident of each neighborhood or outlying community that a co-op serves will be recruited to round up brief items about what's going on in the neighborhood and with its residents. The correspondents will be not be professionals but engaged residents.
School sports correspondents —Nonprofessional correspondents who track the progress of every school sport during its season. (Freelancers will be assigned to cover major games.)
College interns —Students recommended by faculty of local or nearby community colleges or commuter colleges who are looking for journalism experience, ideally students who grew up in or near the community that the co-op serves. The editor will work out each intern's responsibilities individually.
High school interns —Students recommended by high school teachers who will help with nonjournalistic information-gathering efforts such as a community calendar of events (supervised by the administrator) and will produce one news article per semester (supervised by the editor). If the teachers approve, the article can be done as part of course work.
The readers will also play an important role in the news effort. Banyan's software is designed to invite richer feedback from readers than legacy-model editors have ever known. This reader/editor collaboration is an expression of the kind of shared voluntarism that fuels peer networks of all kinds, from food co-ops to service organizations to Wikipedia—and it adds efficiency that means the Banyan model will significantly expand the scope of coverage possible with a small staff.
This widely distributed community engagement in the news-gathering process will give the editor an unusually clear view of the community's information needs. This will allow her or him to routinely see into corners of the community that legacy journalism models rarely explore, and to make news judgments more from the people up than from institutions down.
Local resource bank
In a prominent space, the site will offer a vetted guide to Haverhill resources the broad public will find relevant, including:
• Weather widget, with links to local weather stations, and current moon stage widget
• Events calendar
• SeeClickFix widget
• Widget that opens to a landing page that features links to obits that are posted on the websites of local funeral homes, updated daily—perhaps by the funeral homes. And perhaps the landing page would display sponsorship ads from the funeral homes.
• Schools—a page for every school in town, with the potential to grow into a highly interactive service akin to this one.
• Pets—lost pets and pets available for adoption.
• People Helping People: Links to the local time bank and care bank, resilience circles, GivingLine, freecycling, tool exchanges, swap sites and other ways community members can help each other and join forces on projects. Perhaps this is just a list in a box, or it could be a widget that shows one PHP site at a time, in sequence, and links to a landing page that displays every link with a thumbnail description of the service.
• Link to a weekly garage sale map and listings.
• Links to community-based organizations that meet the life-issue needs of community people, including health clinics, food banks, credit counselors, credit unions and other co-ops.
• Lists of all real estate transactions.
• Lists of all building permits.
• Links to all relevant governmental offices.
• In election years, links to lists of all campaign contributions by Haverhill residents and businesses.
• Widget that opens to a landing page that features links to Haverhill bloggers of all kinds, from mommy blogs on up, that have been vetted for decency.
• Link to profile pages for local business (if members) and local bands (ditto).
• Anything useful to the community that we can display straight out of an existing API (The Eagle Tribune offers local gas prices, for example; the ad-heavy haverhillusa.org links to a traffic API—and has loads of links to local resources that What Matters could easily match).
• As Haverhill Matters matures, we will strive to add microlocal data in the manner of EveryBlock: police activity, Yelp reviews, restaurant health inspections, whatever we can find ways to draw from API feeds—especially from City of Haverhill databases of public information. An interview with EveryBlock founder Adrian Holovaty offers insights.
Life Issue ReportingConcise but practical items that help the broad public deal with the life issues that press on them and their loved ones should be among the most potent material news co-ops can offer.
Banyan's software is designed so that the items will run in blog format in a prominent place on affiliated co-ops' home pages. Even though these items will rarely arise from a community served by a Banyan-affiliated co-op, they will have local impact -– on the readers. Affiliated co-ops will be able to add local information to every item where there's a local resource.
Here are three sample life-issue items that took less than an hour to research and write on day in the late spring if 2011:
Banks that Nibble at Jobless Benefits
People who receive their jobless benefits on prepaid debit cards can be subject to a variety of bank fees they can ill afford to pay, according to the National Consumer Law Center. The prepaid cards appeal to people who can't get direct deposit because they have no checking account. Practices vary from state to state because state governments negotiate the terms of agreements with card providers. In many states, charges apply for using ATM's, checking balances, and even for not using the card enough ("inactivity fees," as high as $3). The law center's report calls these fees "junk." It is especially critical of a card issued in five states by U.S. Bank. Each state has only one card issuer, so it's important to learn the charges imposed in your state so you can take steps to maximize how much of your benefits go to you and minimize how much goes to the bank. State-by-state charges are detailed at the end of the report.
Eating Late Hazardous to Weight?
To hold your weight down, don't eat late at night. This is the finding of a study published in the journal Obesity. Northwestern University researchers followed the sleeping and eating patterns of 52 people over seven days. They discovered that eating after 8 PM was associated with a higher body mass index, suggesting that late-evening calories are more hazardous to your weight. Why? More study is needed to figure that out, the scientists say. Meanwhile, eat early.
Easy Ways to Save on Gas
Got a smart phone? Get an app that locates the cheapest gas wherever you are. Another app, Google Maps, helps you find routes that keep you out of heavy traffic, where gas mileage plummets. Check your tire pressure –- this can improve mileage by up to 3.3 percent. And slow down: Each 5 MPH you drive over 60 "is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas," according to Fueleconomy.gov. Better yet, stay out of your car: Walk, ride a bicycle, or take the bus or train. Inexpensive intercity busses routinely sell seats for less than the cost of gas for driving between, say, New York and Boston; search for seats at GotoBus.com or at BusJunction.com. New York Times travel writers offer these tips and more for people planning summer driving vacations, but many can help you cut the cost of everyday local travel as well.
As soon as possible, a feature will be added to the software to aggregate the life-issue items, tagged by topic in a closed, searchable database. That way, when a particular problem enters a reader's life, she or he can search for stories that might offer help.
Future Editorial Ideas to Test
• Ask readers to nominate people in the community who are doing things that make it better, and profile them.
• Run a personal essay contest and publish the best ones. Also with photos that reveal the community.
• Add wikis that help people find the best resources in their community in several areas.
• Set up a system to cover every little league game in every sport through parents or other stringers using smart phones and special Twitter hashtags to provide live updates – and get lots of people's names "in the paper." Also, offer live coverage of the community's high school sports events.
• Offer discussion space in the Banyan site to every school in the community and to community-enriching organizations without their own websites.
• Run a crowdsourced effort to get the community to define Haverhill's heart-and-soul attributes. Update it every year.

Professor Jiang-Feng Du (杜江峰)
Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at Microscale and Department of Modern Physics,University of Science and Technology of China
Abstract: Quantum systems unfold diversified correlations which have no classical counterparts. These quantum correlations have various different facets. Quantum entanglement, as the most well known measure of quantum correlations, plays essential roles in quantum information processing. However, it has recently been pointed out that quantum entanglement cannot describe all the nonclassicality in the correlations. Thus the study of quantum correlations in separable states attracts widely attentions. Herein, we experimentally investigate the quantum correlations of separable thermal states in terms of quantum discord. The sudden change of quantum discord is observed, which captures unambiguously the critical point associated with the behavior of Hamiltonian. Our results display the potential applications of quantum correlations in studying the fundamental properties of quantum system, such as quantum criticality of non-zero temperature.
About the speaker:Dr. Jiang-Feng Du, as a group leader, he has strong background and experience in the field of quantum physics. He has taken his team in the research of magnetic resonance, such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) and Optically Detected Magnetic Resonance (ODMR). The goal of the research is to develop spectroscopic methods and to apply these techniques to the investigation of quantum computation, quantum information and the fundamental issues of quantum mechanics. Due to the excellent research accomplishments, he has received the title of "Yangzi Professor" since 2008.

19Taylor Swift Doesn't Chase Boys, Okay?
Taylor Swift gets a pretty bad rap when it comes to her dating life. Sure, she goes through relationships at what might seem like rapidfire pace, but she's also in her early 20s, in the public eye and probably has no idea what she wants in life, hence all the dating to figure that out. Are some of her choices questionable? Sure, but are they any more questionable than half the men she's involved with or any of her peers? Not hardly.
Anyway, since journalists can't seem to think of anything more interesting to ask her about during interviews, TSwift tried to set the record straight on her approach to romance in a new interview with Elle (via Gossip Cop):
"I'm sure if I looked up the latest Google Alerts rumor it would say I'm chasing somebody who doesn't like me as much as I like him – people love that angle on me," says the singer.
Swift continues, "They're like 'Oh Taylor, coming on too strong again, chasing boys.' I never chase boys. They don't like it!"
The songstress does concede, however, that her relationships do provide excellent musical fodder – but to her, that's nothing new.
"To me it's just writing songs the way I always have. It's me sitting on my bed feeling pain I didn't understand, writing a song and understanding it better," says Swift.
Okay, a few things here. Are her songs shitty? Eh, that's debatable. I personally think she writes some serious ear worms that – while they don't offer much in the way of deep philosophy – seem honest to her own experience and view of the world. They're fun to listen to – if I wanted class, I'd put on Beethoven. But the fact that people give her a hard time for writing songs about people she's dated makes no sense. What do you think every single pop song ever written is about? Just because you may not know who 'Locked Out of Heaven' or 'Someone Like You' is about doesn't make that any less true.
Secondly, and I hate to get on my feminist high horse again here, but why is Taylor's revolving door of suitors any different than, say, Harry Styles' – who, by the way, has probably had 10x the amount of women in his life and possibly bed in the past year than Taylor has in her life? Oh, right, I forgot – it's because she's a woman. Men do that, it's biological, that's just how they are because penises are monsters with minds of their own and men can't be held accountable for what they do with them. Give me a break. If men received half the shit for their relationships as women did, well, we'd all have to question whether we were living in a parallel universe and how we were going to get back to real life, because it would never happen. Sorry, EB bros – you have to admit society is totally like that.
Sure, I don't give a rat's ass about who Taylor Swift is dating and wish she'd shut up about it, but I also wish the press would. Things are only stories when we make them so.

19 Responses to "Taylor Swift Doesn't Chase Boys, Okay?"
She wouldn't get as much press if not for her dating and serial bashing.
I don't give a crap how many people she dates, sleeps with, blows, etc. I care about the fact that she makes what in my opinion is god awful music that I find myself subjected to in my day to day life. Shopping for shampoo? LISTEN TO THIS TAYLOR SWIFT SONG. In line at the post office? LISTEN TO THIS TAYLOR SWIFT SONG. C'mon, world.
Shopping at Walgreen's? Look at this Taylor Swift display. LOOK AT IT.
Need some more foundation? Here's Taylor Swift and her pore-free face. DO YOU SEE HER?
HAAAAA totally. Shoved down our throats & in our eyes & ears & up every hole known to man! Tired of it. Bo bo bo BORING to the max.
And another thing..shouldn't a 20-something be leaving the boys alone and start chasing/not chasing MEN?
Yes! This^^^! Who in their mid-twenties talks about "boys"? It reminds me of that family guy clip of Meg's friends "stickers! And ponies! And MySpace dot com!!!!" I'm only a year older than her and haven't wanted anything to do with "boys" for roughly 12 years.
Well said, Jennifer. Exactly!
Everything about her and her music is annoying and juvenile. I can't believe you are letting her off the hook for being shamefully needy, totally shallow and clueless about life, and worst of all, a purveyor of faux-art.
By the way, on the clueless front, Harry Styles is gay. There's very convincing pictoral evidence, some of which even appeared on this site.
I'm with you on this Jennifer. Me, and most people who are my age are doing the same with regards to relationships as Taylor is.
Except we don't write songs that earn us several million dollars when it all goes wrong. Instead we get drunk on cheap alcohol, ask too many strangers their opinion on the situation then cry into a take out pizza box. You know, the traditional way of getting over things.
I'm 23 (so is Taylor Swift), and most of the people I know that are incredibly consumed by their love lives (or lack there of) are about 18-19. Me and my closest friends have been a lot more worried about rent, money, jobs, and our careers for quite some time now. It's a different situation though, I work two jobs just to keep up with my rent, buy groceries and maybe a couple of drinks every now and then.
So no, hers is not every 20something's situation, just as mine isn't either, which anyway is completely irrelevant since current momentary situations should not be used to approve or disapprove of a person's behavior.
Still yeah, if all of my financial issues were taken care of, then yeah my focus would probably be on the things I was missing, like a boyfriend (Although maybe i wouldn't think every hook up was a transcendent life changing event as she seems to do sometimes. But I wouldn't know since I've been in a relationship for quite a bit now).
finally, im so glad there are new writers, i just might have my faith restored in this site again. that is the most mature stance on this subject ive seen, and it was so disappointing to see the old writer(s?) hop on the "blah everything about her, except for her clothes, is stupid" bandwagon. i dont like her music either, but its no different than, as you said, any other pop songs. it is baffling that people dont seem to want to accept that, they would rather just have something to "hate" on together…i guess.
I agree with anonymous… I have hated the writers ever since Sasha left. She was a great writer with solid, grounded, humorous opinions/observations. I'm beyond glad that the writers after her, who shall not be named, are gone and that I actually want to read the articles again instead of just looking at the pictures. Thank you for that!
Swifty doesn't chase boys…she waits for them to run by, and then falls on top of em'.
Jennifer: You're excellent. What a refreshing viewpoint on a matter that, I think, has been blown completely out of proportion on this site and others.
It's a refreshing viewpoint and I agree about the fact that blokes should be subject to the same criticism as women (or both be equally free from criticism) if they're essentially operating a revolving door policy with their love lives.
Having said that, it's not the fact that she's dated so many people that's the issue in my eyes. It's the fact she thinks every time a guy looks at her, it's the start of "true love" then she bitches and cries when it ends after no time at all, and sits there wondering why her heart got broken. Maybe if she had a little more emotional integrity and sense, it wouldn't happen so often. But no, far easier to blame the guys she dates than actually take some time for self-reflection.
Also, she needs to stop talking about "boys". Miss Swift, you are 23, not 13. Act like it.

PEORIA, Ill.-- The city of Peoria is keeping its word when it comes to demanding the deadline for the downtown hotel project be met on time.
As a result, officials will be fining the developer $82,000 after a recent progress report pushed back the hotel's opening date by nearly two months. It's a setback that could cost the city big bucks from an annual economic boost.
Roughly two months is the difference between Developer Gary Matthews' previous March 1 opening deadline and this latest one, set for end of April of 2013.
That means hundreds of hotel rooms the city had hoped to have open for the March Madness tournament, will remain empty.
But Peoria city officials say while that short-term loss in economic dollars will is disappointing, they are looking long-term.
"It's a huge economic driver for our region," City Manager Patrick Urich. "We have a very diverse workforce that's being employed on the project right now with more than 23 percent of the workforce being a minority workforce."
Urich says it's easy to get excited when you see how the work inside the Pere Marquette is progressing.
"The first floor people wouldn't recognize it right now. They've completely gutted it," said Urich. "Some of the demo rooms, they have those set up now. Marriot's been in. They've taken a look inside. It's very positive."
Urich adds developer Gary Matthews had warned the public that March 1 deadline would be tight.
Our attempts to contact Matthews before deadline were unsuccessful.
The nearby Hotel Marriot is set to open sometime in 2014.

Toilet Seat Covers
By Kay
from Austin, TX
I found one of the two toilet seat covers defective when I opened the received package. One of them was not stitched properly so I had to mend it by hand before use. Still I was happy when I used them for the first time. They were soft and warm so I was going to order 2 more anyway. However,when I washed them, the fabric was no longer intact. I have to conclude they are cheaply made. I'll find another brand.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not worth it
By tabby

Wouldn't have purchased it, if I had known it wasn't compatible with all toilet seats.

Not bad
By BJS

NOT PADDED, but soft fleece-type material. Certainly won't turn a hard toilet seat into a cushioned one, but will make it softer and warmer.

Not as Handy as It Looks in Pictures
By Basset Hound Mom
from Colorado
In spite of directions I found it hard to set up. Also, fits too loosely. I would not buy again.
Worth the Money
By Duke
from Cape Cod, MA
Product is extremely comfortable and cost is incredibly reasonable. Sometimes requires slight readjusting, but only takes a couple seconds. Would not advise having it on a toilet that a young child uses.
good buy for the money
By housewife in the desert
from Antelope Valley, CA
My husband & I both love them. We use them all the time. They last a long time & launder up nicely in the washing machine without any special settings. Just remember to remove the plastic hoop before you put them in the washing machine or dryer (very easy to do)
Toilet Seat Co
By Grace
from Colorado Springs
I LOVE the toilet seat covers, especially during these cold winter days.

For as long as I can remember I have been going to TechEd every year, some years to both Tech US and TechEd Europe. The sad par of all these visits have been a trend where the sessions about Exchange has decreased by the years. To my great joy I see that this trend has been broken! A look at TechEd Europe Content Catalog reveals not fewer than seventeen session about Exchange! Okay some of them may be more focused on Office 365 that my primary interest Exchange 2013 on premises but still a great lineup!
Among the speakers we find really great Exchange presenters like Scott Schnoll, Nathan Winters, Jeff Mealiffe, Ben Appleby and my fellow MVP's Paul Robichaux ,Jaap Wesselius and Sigi Jagott.
I'm "super exited" about many of the sessions but the one I wouldn't miss for the world is of course Jeff's session about Exchange 2013 Sizing.
Below is a list of all the breakout sessions I found doing a simple search for Exchange.

In recent years, with schedules becoming more busy, academic expectations on children growing increasingly stringent, and after-school play time becoming more commonly replaced with structured activities and extracurricular programs, children are having less free time to play, explore the world on their own, and just 'be kids'. And, according to a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), this may not be entirely healthy for children. The new report states that unstructured playtime is not only healthy, but essential for children in reaching important social, emotional and cognitive developmental milestones, and enables children to better manage stress and become resilient.
Children Benefit From Play
According to the AAP, "Whereas play protects children's emotional development, a loss of free time in combination with a hurried lifestyle can be a source of stress, anxiety and may even contribute to depression for many children.
"The report reaffirms that the most valuable and useful character traits that will prepare children for success come not from extracurricular or academic commitments, but from a firm grounding in parental love, role modeling and guidance."
The factors relating to the shift away from unstructured play opportunities are very real and widespread, including changes in family structure, increasingly competitive college admissions standards, and changes in school policies that replace recess and physical education minutes with time spent doing seatwork.
The report isn't saying that all academic enrichment opportunities and organized activities are bad; many have valuable benefits. However, a balance needs to be reached, and individual children's needs need to be taken into account.
What Parents Can Do:
Because some of these factors are our of a parent's control, the AAP has some recommendations for what parents can do to offset the impact of these forces. The AAP recommends the following courses of action:
- Be sure your child has access to 'true toys' like blocks and dolls, which stimulate creativity, rather than objects that require more passive participation from children;
- Support an appropriately challenging academic schedule for your particular child with a balance of extracurricular activities that suit his or her unique needs, rather than duplicating what other 'competitive parents' are doing, or anticipating what you think colleges may require;
- Be wary of advertising claims about products and toys that intend to help produce 'super-children';
- Understand that your child doesn't need to be superior in many areas to be considered successful in life;
- If you're choosing a daycare or preschool, look for one that addresses social and emotional development needs as well as academic needs.
Additionally, I recommend that you spend time just enjoying your children, building traditions as a family, and offering play dates where your child can just hang out with friends and come up with their own games. Many forms of play develop skills that can be used to excel in school and in life, so keep in mind that this isn't time wasted.
Also, remember that children benefit from learning stress management and self care skills just as adults do. The following resources can help you encourage your children to learn healthy habits, and can help your family develop healthy and fun activities and traditions to enjoy together.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- If you plan on spending any cash while shopping, you'll likely spend those "grubby" bills first and hold on to the "crisp" ones. Watch out, you'll likely spend more, too.
According to a new study in the Journal of Consumer Research, people spend more to get rid of worn out bills while holding on to new currency.
The study found appearance of money can alter spending behavior and that consumers spend more to get rid of those old bills.

Raleigh police were on the scene at the Forestville Crossing Shopping Center off Louisburg Road at approximately 3 a.m. Wednesday as they investigated a breaking and entering.
Dozens of police cruisers were on the scene as officers searched a car with flashlights.
Raleigh police told WNCN Today's Bianca Spinosa that a suspect broke into a store and refused to come out when officers arrived.
The suspect was later taken into custody and has been transported for an evaluation. Charges are pending until the investigation is complete.

About mitochondrial import
While the mitochondrial genome encodes a handful of proteins, most of the hundreds of proteins that reside in the mitochondrion are encoded by nuclear genes, translated in the cytoplasm, and imported into mitochondria via a series of complex molecular machines (see 7, 8 for review). Many of the proteins imported into mitochondria are involved in respiration, which is not an essential process: S. cerevisiae is able to carry out either fermentative growth on carbon sources such as glucose, or respiratory growth on nonfermentable carbon sources such as glycerol and ethanol. However, since maintenance of the mitochondrial compartment is essential to life, mutations that completely disrupt mitochondrial import are lethal.
About the TIM22 complex
The TIM22 complex of the mitochondrial inner membrane mediates the insertion of large hydrophobic proteins, typically transporters (carrier proteins) with multiple transmembrane segments, into the inner membrane. These proteins travel through the outer membrane via the translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM) complex. Their transit across the intermembrane space to the TIM22 complex in the inner membrane is mediated by complexes of small soluble protein chaperones: Tim8p with Tim13p, and Tim9p with Tim10p. The membrane-embedded core of the TIM22 complex consists of Tim54p, Tim22p, Tim18p, and Sdh3p (9); additionally, the small Tim proteins Tim9p, Tim10p, and Tim12p are associated with the complex on the intermembrane space side (reviewed in 10, 8).
About TIM22
Tim22p is the only essential component of the membrane-embedded core of the TIM22 complex. The protein has sequence similarity to Tim17p and Tim23p (1). It has four transmembrane helices that form a hydrophilic, voltage-activated channel through the inner membrane. Purified Tim22p is capable of inserting substrate proteins into the inner membrane even in the absence of the other components of the core TIM22 complex, Tim54p and Tim18p, although with a greatly reduced efficiency (11). Thus, Tim22p appears to be the central component of the complex, capable of recognizing the internal targeting signals of the precursor proteins, forming a translocation channel, and inserting the precursors into the inner membrane (11).

It is a well documented certainty that Nicky Ballgame is the kind of player that will do all the "little things" for ya.
Some other well documented certainties come to mind:
- My wife thinks I should drink more beer.
- Rosie O'Donnell is a calm, stable, funny and beautiful woman.
- Soccer is an exciting, action-packed game to watch.
- Keanu Reeves has been severely overlooked in terms of Oscar Nominations.
- Brett Favre doesn't crave attention, it really just is difficult for him to make up his mind.
- My doctor agrees that Fritos, cigarettes and Budweiser are good for my well-being.
- John Edwards is a solid guy and a tough miss for all of us he wasn't elected VP.
- The typical contestant in the National Spelling Bee is also usually the first one picked for kickball.
- Right Said Fred was a creative, talented and musically versatile band.
- Grand Forks, North Dakota, is a beautiful vacation destination.
Now, for the low, low price of roughly $4,000,000 your favorite team this year gets a player in Little Nicky who, because he isn't capable of doing any of the "Regular Things" will get credit for doing all of the "Little Things".
Little things like rarely getting a sacrifice bunt down when asked.
Little things like popping up instead of advancing a base runner from second to third.
Little things like swinging at the first pitch when a pitcher has just walked the previous two batters.
Little things like standing on third and tattling on and pointing at Denard Span for making a base running mistake rather than running home himself.
Little things like getting picked off third in a crucial playoff game against the Yankees.
Someone please make it stop!!
Of course, if it were to stop, who would be left to stick his nose in the conversation every time Rick Anderson visited the mound?

Content for Personal Site
I am trying to redesign my personal site. I think I should have an about page and contact page (no really; I mean it ) at the very least. And then I want a section where I can write articles etc on topics that I learn every day.
But, I can't figure what else I should do it on their. I am mainly a PHP developer with (not so great but slowly expanding) front end experience like graphics etc.
Other than that, I am stumped. What is normal for personal site? I am not sure what I should have on homepage.
Can someone please help? And any examples will be greatly appreciated.

Today's weather forecast: Dreamy
The sculptural black-and-white images captured by Herb Ritts in the 1990s defined the look of the decade. The photographer, who died in 2002, applied his retro glamour-meets-grungy industrial aesthetic to music videos, ads, and album covers for Madonna and Michael Jackson. Herb Ritts: L.A. Style opens April 3 at the Getty Center and features some of the 69 original prints the museum acquired last summer, including this iconic shot.

Luvologist Is Gone but Never Forgotten
"Luvologist" has been in my life for a little bit over eight years. Make that, "he" was always a part of me (excuse me while I talk about "him" in third person).
At the time, I figured it would be a good idea to create a persona that would give very frank and blunt love and relationship advice to the masses but do it with one catch. I would do everything I possibly can to separate "him" from me and I would never show his face. For so long, people relied on "experts" for their solutions. I defied those odds. I didn't want it to be race oriented, or even male or female oriented.
I did real well. Let's say "he" did real well. When the persona was started off on Yahoo! 360 (damn, I bet Yahoo! Is kicking themselves now for shutting that down) "he" became popular real quick. Then I moved "him" to the BlogTalkRadio world and set Internet radio on fire. "Luvologist's" show became a featured show in about six weeks because of its popularity, which, back in 2008, it was unheard of. There were a few bumps in the road but everything was going well.
There comes a time when you need to shed the pseudonyms so that the world can hear YOUR voice.
THIS is that time. Today, I have finally decided to let go.
I won't get into the reasons why, this is going to be short, sweet and to the point.
"Luvologist" did what "he" was supposed to do. "He" established a presence in the social media realm so that the LUV brand can go some places.
Now, it's time to move on so that I (me) can go places.
"Luvologist" won't be around but now MY legacy must begin.
This is me.
Be well…

School league tables 'can be demoralising and devisive' says Keighley head teacher
7:00am Friday 14th December 2012 in News By Claire Armstrong, City Hall Reporter
Primary school league tables can be "divisive and demoralising" for many teachers, according to the head teacher of the area's highest-achieving school.
Topping the league table for the Bradford district was Long Lee Primary, Keighley.
But its executive head teacher, Louise Smith, said while she was proud of her school's achievement, the league tables did not sufficiently recognise the hard work done by teachers working in more challenging areas.
Mrs Smith said: "Attainment and achievement at our school has been outstanding for several years.
"We were designated as outstanding by Ofsted in 2007 and our pupil outcomes have been of a very high standard ever since, so we are delighted as a school to be able to maintain that high level and this is a credit to our parents, pupils, staff and governors. We all work hard together as a team to achieve these results.
"We are also part of a federation and our other school, Ingrow Primary in Keighley, has just been designated good with outstanding leadership and management, so we have lots to celebrate across the two schools.
"However, I am not in favour of league tables and schools that work in very challenging circumstances do not get enough credit for the enormous amount of work that they put in, because their pupils can often be making outstanding progress from their low starting points.
"This is not sufficiently recognised, and should be. It is a very divisive and demoralising system for many schools and head teachers."

Additions- Jared Veldheer OT, Bruce Campbell OL, Daniel Loper OG.
Lost- Cornell Green.
Loper played some games with the Lions and will be used for depth. If he couldn't start with the Lions he won't start for the Raiders.
Jared Veldheer
"Small-school standout Jared Veldheer to compete for time at offensive tackle. Though he dominated inferior competition in college, his impressive performance in pre-draft workouts showcased his immense potential as a pro". - NFL.com
"A small-school developmental guy who has as much upside as any offensive lineman in the draft. Veldheer is a bit short-armed but is a good athlete who has the range to hold up in the pass game at the next level".- yahoosports.com
" Veldheer won't have any difficulty adjusting to the NFL and will compete for a starting spot right away."-Tom Cable
I don't know much about him and couldn't find any tape but he sounds like the real deal.
Bruce Campbell
"The Raiders pick up the most athletic offensive tackle from the NFL Scouting Combine with their selection of Bruce Campbell. Though many expected the team to nab him in the first round, the Raiders patiently waited to acquire him with the 106th pick. While he is raw in several aspects of his game, Campbell's outstanding athleticism gives him a chance to develop into a solid player in time". NFL.com
"A good value for the Raiders in the fourth round as Campbell has as much upside as any player in the draft. He's a physical freak with elite tools but still has a long way to go from a technique standpoint". -Yahoosports.com
"Bruce Campbell has been switched to guard so he can get playing time as a rookie".-Tom Cable
Bruce played in the Zone Blocking system at Maryland but has footwork problems. If he switched to guard for playing time could he be starting at some point this season? I mean why not? I'd rather him be in and do below average but improving then having a vet do below average who is past his prime and really won't improve.
Left Tackle
Mario Henderson started there last year. I'm not buying the whole he will be ok if Gallery is next to him. Now he shows flashes but is not consistent but then again 75 percent of the young players show flashes but aren't consistent. I see a triple threat boiling up here between Henderson, Barnes, and Veldheer. May the best man win.
Week 1 prediction-I'm going all in here. Jared Veldheer
Left Gaurd
Robert Gallery owns this one. If he can stay healthy. That's a big if. He does make the players around him better but he can't do everything by himself. If he goes down again early he needs to be replaced. God for bid with hm injured we could be looking at a backup lion as the starter.
Week 1 prediction- Gallery
Samson looked alright to me when he played but he could look better. He needs to step up and take controll or we will be selecting a C wih our 2nd round pick in the 2011 draft.
Satele wins.
Another triple threat between Coop,Walker and Campbell. As i stated above I'd rather Campbell be in and do below average but improving then having a vet do below average who is past his prime and really won't improve.
Coop starts week 1 but Campbell finishes week 1 and starts week 2.
We really don't have pure RT. So one of the two who dosen't win LT will play here. Walker and Campbell might see time here as well.
Mario Henderson becomes a solid starter and owns this spot for the next 6 or 7 years.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"I wanted to send 'save the date' postcards and I was thrilled with all the options weddingpaperdivas.com had to offer. We chose the "Tea for Two" postcard because it offered several different color choices for the roses around the photo, one of which was yellow (my fiancee and I had a lovely picture of the two of us surround by yellow roses.) There were so many font options to chose from so we were able to design one that was just our style. Our friends and family absolutely loved it!"
"We didn't have the opportunity to take engagement photos but still wanted something that would feel personal. This was perfect for us! "Outdoorsy", simple, fun, but elegant. The paper quality is great and the image is exactly what I expected it to be. The only thing I would say is the default font for your names can be a little tricky to read at first glance; we capitalized the first letters of our first/last names, which seemed to help, but overall it's not a huge deal. I loved being able to add our return address to the envelop in a font that matched the cards, too! Overall, love these and very satisfied."
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"I was very happy with the final product from this Save the Date. It was simple to submit and a great price. Came packaged very nicely. Only complaint is that the print from the post card came off on each post card on top of it. Truly, it doesn't matter since the post cards were then mailed through the postal service and probably put through the ringer."

Poison Princess
by Kresley Cole
Published: 10/2/2012 by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers
From Goodreads:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole introduces The Arcana Chronicles, post-apocalyptic tales filled with riveting action, the dark mysticism of Tarot cards, and breathtaking romance.
She could save the world—or destroy it.
Sixteen year old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can't do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side….
The Bookish Brunette thought:
Poison Princess locked me in a trance of mesmerizing awesome from the VERY first page. No… I'm absolutely serious.
Evie has been lured into a madman's lair… And it's utterly chilling to hear his horrific and terrifying inner monologues as he tricks Evie into sliding deeper into what promises to be her worst nightmare.
"My lair looks safe, warm, grandmotherly. It should; an old woman lived here before I slaughtered her and made it my home."
*gasp* I know right?! The "price of entry" is that she has to recount her life before and after the Flash. He claims to be making a chronicle of events and experiences of events leading to the Flash and how people coped with the aftermath.
The Flash was a catastrophic event that killed most of the world and wiped any form of vegetation right off the map.
So as Evie launches into her tale, her story begins one week BEFORE the Flash and just after she was released from the mental institution. We meet the boyfriend… Who doesn't impress me too much. We meet the BFF, Melissa…
"Mel was a hyperactive wild child who was a stranger to shame and had never acquainted herself with embarrassment."
And we meet the band of Cajun misfits who have been thrust into suburban hell by a new bridge that put them in an entirely different school district. Jackson, the fiercest one of them all WON'T quit staring at her with his disarming grey eyes and devil may care attitude.
We meet Jackson. Who. Is. EPIC. Complete with the sexiest accent I've ever READ. Seriously, usually "accents" in books tend to irritate me- but Kresley Cole did an absolutely amazing job with the authenticity, with made it even more appealing!
I LOVE Evie and Javkson! There's no insta-love… No triangles… They honestly don't like each other very much! Except buried under all that hostility, is a SUPER cute romance!
They trek across country, searching for Evie's grandmother and along the way they meet people from Evie's visions… Members of the Major Arcana.
Evie was told long ago that she was the 'Empress' … Then they meet 'The Moon' in the form of a super hot chick who is seemingly MADE for Jackson! Then Matthew who has made the most appearances in Evie's visions has put out a call for help, as he's DROWNING and Evie, Jack & Selena (the moon) are a state away.
Matthew is The Fool card of the Major Arcana, and seemingly Evie's greatest friend and ally. They meet Finn, The Magican, while being held captive in a slaving camp.
I loved EVERY SECOND of this book! Poison Princess is utterly mesmerizing and fiercely captivating!! Without a doubt the BEST post apocalyptic book I've read ALL YEAR!
Buy Poison Princess on Amazon!
Addition info-
(Because I found it fascinating!)
Major Arcana
The Major Arcana or trumps are a suit of twenty-two cards in the Tarot deck. They serve as a permanent trump suit in games played with the Tarot deck, and are distinguished from the four standard suits collectively known as the Minor Arcana. The terms "Major" and "Minor Arcana" are used in the occult and divinatory applications of the deck, and originate with Paul Christian.[1]
HideThe Major Arcana
Each Major Arcanum depicts a scene, mostly featuring a person or several people, with many symbolic elements. In many decks, each has a number (usually in Roman numerals) and a name, though not all decks have both, and some have only a picture. The earliest decks bore unnamed and unnumbered pictures on the Majors (probably because a great many of the people using them at the time were illiterate), and the order of cards was not standardized.[citation needed] Nevertheless, one of the most common sets of names and numbers is as follows:
|None (0 or 22)
|The Fool
|The Magician
|The High Priestess
|The Empress
|The Emperor
|The Hierophant
|The Lovers
|The Chariot
|The Hermit
|Wheel of Fortune
|The Hanged Man
|The Devil
|The Tower
|The Star
|The Moon
|The Sun
|The World

Central Ohio Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for anyone with information leading to an arrest in a gas station robbery and assault on November 28, 2012.
According to police, a maroon minivan with a female driver and male passenger pulled into the Swifty Gas Station located at 5280 Westerville Road, at about 10:15 p.m., on November 28.
Officers say the male passenger got out of the vehicle and walked towards the gas station's restrooms located at the side of the building. He then yelled for the gas station attendant to come unlock the bathroom door.
As the employee neared the restrooms, the suspect began to assault the attendant, demanding cash, according to police.
The employee handed the suspect money from the business, and the suspect then fled on foot to the gas station adjacent the Swifty, where the female driver in the minivan picked him up.
The male suspect is described as a heavy-set black male, between the ages of 18 to 30, who is 5 feet 8 inches tall. He had neatly trimmed facial hair.
The female suspect is described as a heavy-set black female, with a medium complexion. She is between the ages of 18 to 30, and between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 6 inches tall. She was last seen wearing a pink jacket.
Anyone who can provide information by February 6, that leads to an arrest and indictment in this case, could be eligible for the reward.
Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 614-645-TIPS (8477) or go to our website at www.stopcrime.org and e-mail your tip. You can text a tip to "CRIMES" 274637, key word CMH.

It was just a usual day for me. Went to work and never even bothered myself to text Hubby valentines day. Though I woke up knowing that it's not an ordinary day.
It's our 3rd valentines day and our 1st with Bb Julia.
While I was at work, I kept on thinking what to gift I could give Hubby. Cufflinks, shades, a new pen or wallet? I end up buying a wallet in River Island – but I'm planning to buy him a new one from Zara. I preferred to give him black.
Hubby picked me up from work and it's so obvious that he's hiding something at the back of the car since he kept on making me look forward – not a usual thing to say kasi. As if I don't know, hahaha!
We arrived home safely and I was so anxious to go down the car. He told me to look at the front car of our neighbor's car claiming that there's a bump on it. I kept on looking at the bumpers but I didn't any scratch at all – he was kidding pala! Loko loko! We were both going inside the house when suddenly he said that he forgot something in the car. He claimed again that he forgot his wallet "Asus!" – yun ang sagot ko sa kanya.
Kicking Bb Julia and Mommy opened the door for me. I gave Mom a bracelet from Mode – one of the things she was eyeing on when we visit the shop once. Thank God she liked it.
Then Hubby came in from the door holding 4 stems of red roses and a gift wrapped carefully while saying "Happy Valentines Day Sweety!" – exchange gifts ito? hehehe! I gave him my gift narin.
I was trying to remember what I asked him for Valentines day. When I opened the gift, it was all black kasi. Weew! A new set of Abaya. Here in gulf, women are wearing this black dress called "Abaya" – it's a traditional dress for women aside of course from wearing the regular Hijab which covers the hair.
Hubby bought these new styles. Kulang nalang magiging Qatari na ako, hehehe!

I have only tried neon pink so this review will be based on that one. The colour is really nice bright colour as the name would suggest with no shimmer however it is almost coral rather that a true pink. It applied really well and I needed two coats but I think some people's nails would only need one. The colour stayed glossy for 3 days + and it didn't chip at all however the tips of my nails did begin to wear off which is normal of most nail polishes.

Upcoming Conferences and Events
SBJ/August 6-12, 2012/In Depth
Celebrating a decade
Four NFL stadiums debuted 10 years ago. Here's how they came together and how they've since kept up with the times.
Published August 6, 2012, Page 13
Ten years ago, NFL teams in Detroit, Houston, New England and Seattle opened new stadiums. Consider the driving forces behind all four projects, and there are some connections.
Ford Field brought the Lions back to downtown Detroit. Reliant Stadium brought the NFL back to Houston. CenturyLink Field and Gillette Stadium both held the line on total suite numbers, decisions that have since paid off with on-field success leading to more premium-seat inventory and greater revenue.
Each of the stadiums has changed with the times, as the teams adjusted to market needs for seating and took steps to accommodate new technology.
In the pages that follow, SportsBusiness Journal looks back at the openings and evolution of these stadiums, and what is in store for them in the years ahead.

SARANAC LAKE — Forrest "Dew Drop" Morgan, age 90, of Saranac Lake, died Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012 at AMC-Uihlein Mercy Center in Lake Placid.
Born in Saranac Lake, N.Y. on August 16, 1922, he was the son of Wilbur and Anna (Leonard) Morgan.
Dew attended St. Bernard's School, Saranac Lake Central Schools and Tilton Prep School in New Hampshire. The nickname "Dew Drop" was given to him in high school by Murph O'Donnell as a way of teasing him by saying "You're as fresh as the dew on the grass."
He married Sheila O'Reilly, Sept. 12, 1946 when she came here from Montreal (Westmount) to work at Dr. McDougall's camp. She predeceased him in 1988.
He served for one year (1946) as an officer with the Saranac Lake Police Department.
Dew Drop with his wife Sheila bought the Bridge Bar & Grill (Ratskeller) from Max Shapiro in 1947 and changed the name to the Dew Drop Inn which they operated for 42 years. He also opened the Dew Drop Up in Potsdam in 1966 and the 13 Morgan's in Plattsburgh in 1967. After selling the Inn in 1988, he enjoyed his title as Raconteur at the Lake Placid Lodge until his retirement at the age of 86.
He was drafted into the Army Air Force in Dec. 1942 and was discharged on July 6, 1945. He was later called into service from the reserves during the Korean War but did not go overseas. It was well documented in an Enterprise story only a couple of years ago about Dew and his crew being shot down. They flew the famous V Grand, (which was the 5000 liberator bomber) to their base in Bari, Italy, where they became part of the 15th Air Force. They were shot down on their 18th bombing mission over German-occupied Poland. Five of the 10-man crew was wounded.
Dew volunteered to go back flying, but on his third combat mission the landing gear would not open as they approached their base. He had seen a B-24 belly-land when the sparks caused it to explode, so when the pilot gave permission for the crew to bail out, he was the only one to jump. The landing gear eventually came down, the plane landed safely and the MP's had to go pick up Dew Drop from the hillside vineyard where he had landed.

Many of us go to work while we are sick - even though we shouldn't.
A survey of more than one thousand U-S adults taken during this year's flu season revealed one in four workers go to work when they are sick. Most said they would have too much to make up if they missed a day. Just as many said they couldn't afford to miss work. Others said their boss expects them to come to work no matter how sick they are.

A Rhoadsville man has been arrested and charged with shooting a passenger in his car.
The Culpeper County Sheriff's Office says 54-year-old David Thorsted was driving on Route 29 Friday evening when he got into an argument with his passenger.
Investigators say Thorsted pulled over and ordered the man to get out of his car. When he would not, Thorsted reportedly pulled out a pistol and shot the man in the leg.
The victim is in stable condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center.
Thorsted is charged with unlawful wounding, wounding in the commission of a felony, and reckless handling of a firearm.
Reported by NBC29
Culpeper County Sheriff's Office Press Release
On Friday, Dec. 21 at 5:33 p.m., deputies received a call that a man had been shot in the leg following a verbal altercation with an acquaintance.
The two men were reportedly traveling north in an SUV on Route 29 in Culpeper when they had a verbal altercation.
David G. Thorsted, the driver, pulled his car over in a gravel lot before the Remington Bridge and ordered the male victim out of his car.
When the victim refused to get out, Thorsted allegedly pulled out a pistol and fired one round. The bullet struck the victim in the man's thigh.
Thorsted then drove the victim to Culpeper Regional Hospital, where deputies met him and the victim. The victim was later transported to UVA where, as of today, he is in stable condition.
As a result of this incident, Thorsted, 54, of Rhoadsville is charged with unlawful wounding, wounding in the commission of a felony and reckless handling of a firearm.
Thorsted is being held in the Culpeper County Jail on no bond.

Thank you all for input!
Duane; as i explained in the first post, this is a Kyosho Mini-z "motherboard", it does not seem to have standard RC-signals. It is an integrated RX, servo driver, motor driver etc. It has 6 wires running to the steering servo motor (+- / -+ and position sensors) and also just the connectors to the motor, no ESC in between.
I have not been able to detect any standard RC TTL signals on this board, just this low level signal.
Because its not TTL, pulseIn() would not work for me.
I think my oscilloscope is off showing me 4volts, I get the feeling this signal has a high of 1 volt or so. Digital voltmeter says 0,3 or 1, can't remember right now.
ANYHOW, my problem was the speed of the readAnalog()-function. It turned out I was not able to read fast enough, I got values around every 0.7 milliseconds or so, not at all enough to measure the difference between one and two millis with any resolution. I though this was due to the AD or AVR or Arduino not beeing fast enough.
Solution: I was able to find code for Arduino to modify the AD prescaler to the value of 16, giving be LOTS more reads in the same period of time, and perfect resolution!
So, if you need a higher AD-frequency, lookie here, its just copy and paste!

If you find yourself constantly thinking about ways to reconnect with your ex-boyfriend and are starting feel like it was a mistake to break-up, you may be wondering is there a best way to get him back. If some time has passed since your split, you may start to see things a little bit differently than when the break-up occurred. If you are having some doubt as to whether going your separate ways was a good idea, don't worry, you can get your ex-boyfriend back. Here are a few tips and suggestions to help you and him get back together and give it another shot.
To start off, it's a good idea to make sure he is not currently in a relationship. If he is involved with someone else, it may be best to move on yourself or wait until circumstances are better. Once you are sure that he is unattached, you can proceed. Try to get to the root of why the two of you broke up in the first place.
Figuring this out is crucial to helping repair the relationship. There may be a need to do some self-improving. Changing to be what someone else wants is never wise.
However, improving yourself is healthy and a normal part of human development no matter what your age. With this step either well underway or already done, you are ready to move ahead to the next step.
Now is when you have to call or contact him. To get a guy back, he needs to see what he has been missing. Meet him for coffee or do something else that is non-committal but that will have you both relaxed. Good communication with your ex-boyfriend is key. Listen to what he has to say and really pay attention. Try not to dominate the conversation let it be about give and take.
Within a little while, you should have an idea of how it will turn out. If sparks are flying, go with it. Try to take it slow and do things the right way. This allows you to rebuild a stronger and healthy relationship. If you notice that it is not going so well, you two may just need time. After a long separation, you may find that you are two different people now. There may still be hope and staying friends will determine if he is in your future or not.
Breaking up is hard. There is hope of renewing a relationship, but give yourself time and be patient. Rebuilding a lasting and strong relationship is well worth the effort. For some, it may not end the way you would like it too, but there are always lessons to learn and ways to grow. Either way, use the experience to make yourself better and prepare for when something truly great does come along. How to get your ex-boyfriend back can be a process, but when it works out you will be happy you invested the time and effort!
