Boothstown teen organises music event to fight cruel disease
6:10pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in North West
A TEENAGER has organised a music night to raise money to fight a disease she has suffered from.
Rosie Heaton was inspired to become a young ambassador for charity Meningitis Now by a fellow sufferer, Alex Williams, who died in 2012 after suffering a stroke.
The 16-year-old has organised an acoustic evening at Nexus Art Cafe, on Dale Street in Manchester, on Friday night with live sets from Tori Wooff and Holly Jenkinson.
Rosie, of Kepplecove Meadow, Boothstown, said: "Meningitis Now is a cause close to my heart. I had meningitis 10 years ago but luckily pulled through. I first started fundraising for the charity when I met Alex, their founding young ambassador, at a family day in 2011.
"Alex changed my outlook on life and showed me how much of a need there is for funds and awareness. Since he passed away in 2012 I have worked tirelessly to continue his work.
"I hope lots of people will come along and enjoy the evening while learning a bit about the disease and contributing to this very worthy charity."
All proceeds will help fund research, raise awareness and provide support for those fighting back from the disease.
Fundraising officer Becky Dodd said: "Meningitis can be a cruel disease which can rob families of their future overnight but through the support of Rosie and those like her we're able to provide hope for those fighting back. Meningitis changes lives but Meningitis Now can change futures."

I have always said That if my first born Child was to grow up to be a NY Ranger Fan That I would Drown it at Birth. Of course you know that is all Tongue in Cheek but my point is. I HATE THE NY RANGERS ! and I HATE THE NY RANGERS FANS AS WELL !
Back in the 1990's when it was called the CoreStates Center - We had Primeau and NY had Messier and Gretzky. Primeau and Messier were not playing they were injured but I went to a game and a NY Ranger Fan was at the game with his Fugly girlfriend. They both were sitting in the next section over from me and my father, section 202 in their NY Rangers Mark Messier Jerseys and just being Obnoxious as a NY Ranger Fan Can be in life.
NY Scored first but the FLYERS pulled it out to win it 2 to 1 in the third period. The NY Ranger fan was Taunting every single person in the building. He was holding up his 1994 NY Rangers Stanley Cup Champions Tee Shirt and Taunting every single fan in the stadium. He wasnt even facing the Ice or the game. He had his back to the game taunting everyone in the second level.
The FLYERS fans at first dismissed him that he was a pure TOOL and ignored him at first. But he kept going over and over. Even when the FLYERS took the lead. Eventually the guy got a ritual Beer Bath and the Security Management came out and for his safety removed him from the stadium with 2 minutes left to play. So even though the Rangers Pulled their Goalie he missed the ending. My Father and I were Enjoying the game and I even got to see my Dad who was in his Mid 50's at that time stand up and Curse the Guy out as he was leaving ! Now you don't know my father but for him to do this, You really have to get under his skin for him to lose his religion. I was Smiling from Ear to Ear thinking "YEAH DAD ! GET EM !"
Next day the Local Daily News Newspaper had an Article and he made the Back cover of the Sports page and the article was called "I Feared for my Life - FLYERS fans are unpleasant towards opposing teams fans." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I called the Newspaper and contacted the writer and told him how the guy was taunting the fans and pretty much brought it all on himself. That if he wanted to write an article, please research it before publishing a biased view article. The writer told me that it was based off of what the GUY told him when he called him to present the story. SO the NY Ranger fan was not only a Dweeb for starting the whole incident, and then had to be removed for both his and her safety (Nice guy, putting his girlfriend in Danger), but he also is a bigger Dweeb for contacting the Local Newspaper to perpetuate the whole incident even further !
So thats one experience why I HATE NY RANGERS and NY RANGERS FANS. I can name a few others like,
A. Ron Hextall playing in goal @ MSG after Pelle Lindbergh was killed and the fans were chanting "Hexy buy a Porsche !" Talk about truly tasteless fans !
B. Hall of Famer Bernie Parent (Then a Maple Leaf) in the melee of a scrum losses his mask and it goes into the MSG fans and they refused to give it back to him making him get another mask.
So I ask you - What is your TOP TEN of Sports Teams that you absolutely HATE with a Passion !
What is your Rivalry List?
It can be from any pro sport team, It can be because of a Rivalry, It can be because the Fans are arrogant, it can be because you hate their colors or whatever You tell me.
I will start off with my TOP TEN
1. THE NY RANGERS (From now On I refer to them as the NY Stinkin' Rangers)
2. The Dallas Cowboys
3. EVERY SINGLE REMAINING NY SPORTS TEAM THAT ever has or does EXISTS ( I dont Care if they are a Professional NY Chess team and I never heard of them - if its NY and its Pro sport - I HATE EM !)
4. The Pittsburgh Penguins
5. The Montreal Canadiens ( I hate how the fans throw their noses up at every other fan and act like they are the Greatest because they have won the most Stanley Cup Championship Games.)
6. The Detroit Red Wings
7. The Atlanta Braves
8. The Washington Redskins (when they used to be good which was like 20 some years ago !)
9. The NJ Devils
10. And Recently tied with Edmonton Oilers - The Chicago Blackhawks. (see below)
(To get the Stanley Cup Finals and lose - if you cannot fester and brew a hatred for the team that beats you in the ultimate holy grail game - Then I ask you, where is your passion? )

The keys to being safe on a bike are almost entirely in your hands. As outlined here, these five layers of bike safety lay out those simple things that make you a more effective, predictable cyclist and that go a long way to ensuring many happy miles on your bike.
This information was developed by Dan Guiterrez, Brian deSousa, Mighk Wilson and Khalil Spencer, all cycling instructors certified by the League of American Bicyclists. The information was developed individually and collectively by these very experienced cyclists, and all deserve credit. It is reproduced for your benefit with their permission.
1. Layer 1: Control your bike
About half of all cyclist accidents are single rider crashes. If you can skillfully control your bike by starting, stopping, and smoothly turning, you can better avoid falling. Learn how to control your bike when you need to stop or turn quickly.
2. Layer 2: Know and follow the rules of the road
A bike is a legal vehicle in all 50 states. As a vehicle driver, you are required to obey all traffic laws, signs, and signals. Ride in the direction of traffic, on the right side of the road. Never ride against traffic.
Use the right-most lane going in the direction you are traveling. Use correct lanes for turns. Intersections are where most auto/bike crashes occur so be especially alert as you move through them. Before you get to an intersection, position yourself in the proper lane, and use hand signals whenever possible.
When riding with other cyclists, stay alert and follow good group riding procedures. Use hand and voice signals. Cyclists riding in a group are much more likely to collide with one another than with motor vehicles.
3. Layer 3: Ride in the smartest lane position
Know when you should take the full lane and when it is OK to share the lane with motor vehicles.
Use your lane position to let other drivers clearly signal your intentions. Many inexperienced cyclists will hug the far right edge of the road in an attempt to not obstruct motor vehicle traffic. Doing so on a narrow road leaves the cyclist no room to maneuver. Eventually a foolish motorist will try to squeeze by when there is insufficient room, putting the cyclist in grave danger.
In lanes that are too narrow to share with cars, you should ride closer to the center of the lane, instead of trying to squeeze closer to the right. By using smart lane positioning and the first two layers, most accidents can be avoided.

Clean sweep for ManchesterTameka Gordon
HISTORY was created at the 60th staging of the Denbigh agricultural, industrial and food show over the weekend with the prizes for both champion farmer and young champion farmer being copped by men from Manchester.
Lester Murray, and Nicholas Powell, champion and young champion respectively, were praised for their 'innovative' farming practices.
Murray, 49, a seventeen-year veteran of farming, markets mainly to the tourism sector. The yield from his 70-acre farm is bolstered by a 4.5-million gallon water storage system, which he uses as drip irrigation for his crops and to supply his fish pond.
"Soil sterilisation tremendously improves my output," he said, explaining the use of steam to remove pathogens from the soil.
An electrical engineer by profession, 25-year-old Powell said his training helps him to pay attention to "details" such as technological advances in agriculture and record-keeping.
The two-time young champion farmer said his love for what he described as "his calling" was inspired by his childhood trips to the Coronation Market with his father and the pride he felt in "having my own money".
"My parents gave me a small plot of land, now I have 17.5 acres" Powell said as he echoed his senior's sentiment that "your heart has to be in agriculture if you want it to be successful. "

Have you been out for a walk recently and looked up to see something BIG and PINK coming down the road? Did you wonder if you were finally seeing one of those 'pink elephants' people have talked about for eons?
Rest assured it wasn't a pink elephant but an honest-to-goodness pink propane truck! It is a huge, rolling example of community spirit, of people coming together in a unique and visible way to care for each other.
The story behind the Pink Truck…
In the summer of 2008, Ken Foster, owner and founder of Eel River Fuels, called Sara O'Donnell, executive director of the Cancer Resource Centers of Mendocino County (CRCMC). Ken wanted to donate financially to CRCMC on an ongoing basis and wanted others to learn about the great work done by the organization. He asked Sara what she thought of his wild and crazy idea—painting one of his propane trucks pink and donating a penny per gallon of every residential propane delivery. Sara was stunned and delighted!
With the Pink Truck traveling more than 1000 miles a week in Mendocino County, Ken hoped that seeing "Cancer Resource Center" on the side of the truck might just help someone who was recently diagnosed get the support and assistance they need. He chose pink because it is the most recognizable color associated with cancer awareness, and he added 10 multi-colored ribbons on both sides of the truck to represent an array of cancer diagnoses, since CRCMC serves all cancer patients and their families, regardless of the type of cancer (or the ability to pay).
Initially, the truck's driver, Amador, wasn't sure how he would be received in a pink truck, but the smiles and waves he gets whenever he's on the road let him know he's got the coolest truck around.
So, if you see a big pink truck driving down the road, give Amador a honk or a 'thumbs up' and be proud that in Mendocino County, because of the Cancer Resource Center, no one needs to face cancer alone.

Miller, a 6-foot-8 post player, was offered the scholarship despite playing very little as a senior after suffering a torn ACL a year ago.
"It's a great story for Brandon," said former OCP coach Reggie Kohn, now at Master's Academy.
OCP standouts Adonys Henriquez (UCF), Jonathan Joseph (Stetson) and Brandon Maxwell (UT-Chattanooga) chose colleges in the November early signing period. Dmitri Thompson signed with Elon College (N.C.) in May.

6 years old, great location, but wait for the best bit- this property comes with a GROH (formerly GEHA) lease that the ink is barely dry on for the next 3 YEARS, with annual market reviews. So let me do the sums for you! $430 per week equates to $22,000 per year, the list price is $429,000 that is 5% plus gross return on the cheapest 4 x 2 in Drummonds a suburb that is rated very highly by all and sundry. Add to this a healthy depreciation schedule due to the young age of the home and the fact that you will collect the rent every week regardless of their being a tenant in place, that's the beauty of GROH leases. Investment is all about risk against return and I think this one would stack up with the best of them, do your homework and check what properties are selling for in this area and then give me a call to inspect. 4 Bedroom 2 Bathrooms Double lock up garage Rear Patio Brick and tile construction Close to beach Open plan

The "You broke my glasses!" hustleMarch 31st, 2010 at 1:29 pm ET
For the second time in five years, someone tried the "You broke my glasses" hustle on me yesterday. This time, I was emotionally prepared, although it still really pissed me off.
This can't be unique to New York City, but in case it is, and/or for those who are just joining us, here's how you do it:
- Dress like you're pitiful and you don't have much to lose; alternatively, puff yourself up to look bigger and more menacing than you actually are. Your choice.
- Find a pair of broken eyeglasses. (Alternative: find a pair of unbroken eyeglasses, then step on them.)
- Stand on 20th Street near a busy sidewalk — busy enough that you can pretend to have been jostled, but not so busy that you will actually be jostled.
- Scope out your quarry — ideally a man (because they're more likely to be willing to pay you to go away) in a hurry, of apparent means, ideally someone distracted, preferably a rube (which makes me wonder why I was chosen, but let's not dwell on that). Bonus points for choosing someone who is smaller than you, weaker than you, or has vague interethnic or interclass unease around you. With practice, you'll learn how to watch your prey and respond to his signals to get the most money out of each rube you roll.
- As your quarry approaches, hold the pair of glasses in your hand. Pretend to be wiping or adjusting them, then at the last second, bump him on the shoulder and toss the glasses in his path.
- When he steps on (or near) them, cry out in horror. Say, "You broke my glasses!" Demand and collect payment, and be on your way. (Don't forget the glasses — you'll need them to try this again over on 7th Avenue in a few minutes.)
Now, this is obviously, patently, clearly a hustle. I know this not just because my common sense tells me so, but because it's happened to me before on the streets of New York, back in 2005 right after I arrived. (That time, I'm pretty sure I could have been pegged as a rube from 2 blocks away.) I can't remember the details, other than that (1) I really felt intense emotional/social pressure to pay up; (2) I don't think I paid up; and (3) I felt angry, frustrated, and a little dirty after the experience — I had a very strong sense that I was being rolled, but I couldn't prove it. Robert Cialdini could probably explain where the social pressure to pay comes from (and some of it certainly comes from the New Yorker's determination not to "make a scene"). But it doesn't really matter; obviously the scam works, or it wouldn't keep happening.
It didn't work on me this time, though. At all. I was really pissed, and showed it. (It wasn't a great day. I'd left the house without an umbrella, and was in the process of being drenched by cold sideways rain for the third time in six hours.) I picked up the glasses I'd "broken," looked him in the eye, and handed them to him. "Hey," he exclaimed, his timing all off, "you broke my glasses!" I think what I said was "Dude, this is a hustle. Do you think I just got off the boat?" before I turned around and resumed walking in the direction I'd been heading. He came after me, halfheartedly, for about 50 yards, calling "Hey! Hey!, then moved on to try it again somewhere else.

Joe from North Olmsted wrote, us, "How dare you make slanderous comments. You haven't been affected by this recession, you have a job." Jim from Rocky River wrote and said, "Bill, your Editorials continue to call out the expensive, stupid and entitlement-focused actions by our government. Keep 'em coming." well, thanks Jim, I plan to.
Well, we also got some responses about the city of Cleveland's plans to use micro chips to make sure that residents are recycling. Tom from Mentor wrote, "Fining people for not recycling is a great idea. It's time we do something positive for the environment." But Pat from Fairview disagreed, "When will all this end? Instead of wasting money on micro chips, put the money toward our schools."
Well, thanks for sharing your opinions with us. As always, write and let us know what you think. I'm Bill Applegate.

Power cut slams brakes on blackspot speedcams
3:00pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in News By Rebecca Creed
SPEED cameras urgently needed on an accident blackspot have been delayed as there is no way to power them.
The speed limit on the A120 between Hare Green and Pellens Corner is set to be cut from 60mph to 50mph.
But cameras are needed to enforce the restrictions while designs are drawn up for a multi-million pound roundabout.
Furious campaigners have hit out at highways bosses for "dragging their heels" with the short term safety improvements.
An e-mail sent to a campaigner by Andy Jobling, asset manager for the Highways Agency, has revealed installation of the safety cameras was proving to be a challenge.
He wrote: "It will not be possible to provide a permanent power supply for the safety cameras until early next year [2014]."

Tod McKay, of the Bitterroot National Forest Service, said, "It looks fantastic, we did a little walk through the end of last week and the site looks great, it's really nice to get a lot of the blue trees that were marked out of there."Forest service officials say 50,000 people ride horses, hike and camp through Bass Creek every year.They plan to re-open the area on November 1.

April 3, 2008Albany -- The cost of college is skyrocketing. Many graduates finish school deep in debt, if they can afford to finish at all, but a nationally-known radio personality is working to help.
Myra J, a popular personality on the Tom Joyner Morning Show did a live broadcast from the ASU campus in an effort to help raise money for scholarships at Albany State, as the school of the month.
The Tom Joyner Foundation will raise money through the end of April, and in three days has already raised more than one hundred thousand dollars.
"What Tom does, he says the Tom Joyner Foundation does one thing and one thing only, that's is to help students stay in HBCUs," Myra J said.
Because it's one thing to get a child in college it's another thing to keep them there. Brad McRae says he's seen first hand the financial hardships students face while in school. "I know a couple of students who had to find other places to live as far as off campus, because they just couldn't afford the tuition and fees as well as room and board."
The money and the continuing support of foundations like Tom Joyner's is something the University greatly appreciates. ASU Executive Assistant Dr. Joshua Murfee said, "This is exactly what Dr. Freeman wants to occur. He pushes education, he pushes scholarships, and this whole dedication is about education."
Education that will hopefully be an easier burden for the scholarship recipients. "It is so hard just to go to school and stay in school, and what the Tom Joyner Foundation can do to help HBCUs and have these kids not only become educated but to have money for the step shoes and to have money for for the band," Myra J said.
All the money raised through the month of April by the Foundation will go to the Albany State University.
Two ASU students have all read received scholarships from the Tom Joyner Foundation. The Foundation's goal is to raise five hundred thousand dollars by the end of April. Feedback: firstname.lastname@example.com?subject=ASUjoynerShow-WJ

College students at St. Mike's have some strong words for Vermont's Senators.
The groups of young people are part of a national organization known as the Student Global AIDS Campaign. Friday they marched down Burlington's Church Street, hitting the offices of Senator Sanders and Leahy. They thanked Sanders for his commitment to the fight against AIDS and his work to secure funding to fight the problem. So why did they deliver a condolence card to Senator Leahy?"We are mourning the loss of Sen. Leahy's public commitment to ending HIV/AIDS, so we had a condolence card that we delivered to him just reminding him that he used to really commit to these programs and this past year his commitment has dwindled and it's upsetting and we just want the hero we once had in this office," said Meaghan Diffenderfer, a student organizer.In response, Leahy's Spokesman David Carle issued a statement saying, "No one in the entire Congress has done more in the global fight against AIDS than Senator Leahy." Carle said Leahy has secured more appropriations for global AIDS than any senator in history. Leahy is an alum of St. Michael's and his spokesman says Leahy is proud of the students there, but on this issue he says they are misinformed.

Editor's note: Full-length version of story.
Calanus finmarchicus are succulent little butterballs. Simply scrumptious to a whole host of marine animals.
No bigger than grains of rice, the translucent crustaceans that look like a cross between a crayfish and a flea gorge on spring phytoplankton blooms and microzooplankton in the ocean to bulk up with energy-rich lipids. It's those lipid reserves that make the planktonic copepods particularly delectable — and power-packed.
In the northern Atlantic Ocean, C. finmarchicus is the primary prey for a range of species — fueling schools of herring and powering pods of endangered northern right whales. This and other Calanus species are such vital intermediary links in the marine food web that changes in their populations could profoundly affect the health of marine animals — from leaner fish of lesser value to fewer whale calves — and the structure of the pelagic ecosystem in northern oceans.
That's why Andrew Pershing and Jeffrey Runge study them. The two research scientists, who hold joint appointments with the University of Maine and the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, consider C. finmarchicus a linchpin whose role must be better understood in the face of growing ecosystem variability and environmental change.
"Arguably copepods are the most abundant multicellular animals in the world, yet most people don't know much about them," says Runge, a biological oceanographer. "Calanus finmarchicus is among the most predominant of the copepods in the North Atlantic, including the Gulf of Maine. If its special capacity to produce large amounts of lipids were substantially reduced here, what would be the impact on species like herring, sand lance, mackerel, and the rest of the system? It could have implications for the region's fisheries in the future."
Runge studies ocean ecosystem productivity. He focuses on the physical and biological factors that can affect zooplankton production — from variable ocean currents and temperatures to the growth and survival of fish larvae.
Pershing focuses on what causes changes in the Gulf of Maine ecosystem over time. He uses satellite and other data to develop computer models of marine ecosystems that can reconstruct and forecast population dynamics in C. finmarchicus and other key species.
For both scientists, the implications of climate changes on C. finmarchicus, such as warmer water temperatures and acidification, loom large.
"There are huge changes going on in the marine environment," says Pershing. "Some of them are natural. We've always had changes in the climate. But then on top of that, we're adding this new signal of global warming and climate change. What effect that's going to have on ocean ecosystems is really important, both for understanding fisheries and the way humans interact with these systems, and for understanding the ocean's ability to take carbon out of the atmosphere and lock it away. The big question for me is really all about change: how things shift from one year to the next and what drives that."

Linebacker James Harrison will be meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, according to USA Today Sports. Harrison was cut by the Steelers last month after the team sought to renegotiate and lower his salary. It appears that Harrison is looking specifically to land in the AFC North for the chance to face his former team. USA Today adds that he recently made an attempt to visit with the Ravens before the team signed Elvis Dumervil.
Harrison had been with the Steelers since 2002 after Pittsburgh signed him as an undrafted free agent. The linebacker made his way into the lineup by 2004, when he made four starts. Harrison was a regular starter by 2007 and quickly became one of the most dominant pass-rushing linebackers in the league.
The hard-hitting Harrison set a career high with 16.5 sacks in 2008, and reached double digits again in the next two years. The past two seasons have been marred by injury for Harrison. He has missed eight games over that span.

When I was a kid, a cousin of mine gave me a sweatshirt. It came from Renssalear College. It was baby blue, and when I was nine years old, it fit me just fine. I know that it came to me second hand, so it had to be many years old before I got my hands on it. That sweatshirt became a favorite. It was my extra layer of choice for several summers. I wore it until the sleeves began to ride upon my forearms, and my back would be left exposed when I bent over. I loved it enough not to let it go. Can I explain my attachment? The fact that I cannot remember for certain which cousin gave me the shirt in the first place tells me that it wasn't necessarily a sentimental concern, but it became one.
That's why I had to smile when I read that David Witthoft finally shunned his Brett Favre jersey for a red shirt for the first time in one thousand five hundred and eighty one days. The twelve-year-old Ridgefield, Connecticut boy wore the number 4 jersey every day since receiving it as a gift for Christmas in 2003. David's father conceded his son was starting to become more concerned about his appearance after the jersey barely came down to his belt line. I can relate. While I didn't make a daily habit of wearing the Rennsalear sweatshirt, I'm sure that my parents often shook their heads in wonder.
My son has a pair of pajamas that he started wearing at age four. He has to be reminded that they aren't exactly "sleepover" PJs anymore. They have a pretty substantial tear in one knee, and they make him appear even more gigantic than his nearly eleven years have allowed. I don't have it in me to suggest that we be rid of them. They were hand-me-downs from his cousin. Someday I believe they might just evaporate off his body, but for now, they're just that part of his wardrobe that gets to stick around not because of how they look, but how they feel on the inside.

WILMINGTON, Vt. (AP) - The owners of Dot's, a southern Vermont restaurant nearly wiped out by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene, are preparing for Hurricane Sandy to hit.
As they rebuild the landmark restaurant in the ski town of Wilmington, they have put up plywood along the bottom floor of the structure to support it when the high winds hit.
Owner John Reagan says Sandy is going to be like Irene but "not for us." He says wind will be more of a problem this time in Vermont than water.
He says he feels for the other people where the hurricane is hitting now.

This Natural Adventure Park in Riviera Maya features a 6 acres wildlife zoo, where local flora and fauna are preserved.
Tulum Eco Parks are some of the most spectacular spots where you can take a breather from the busy city life and get a chance to appreciate the many wonders of nature. Located in a coastline hugging the Caribbean Sea, Tulum offers the best in reef and aquatic activities. But the whole place is more than just the sea and the beach. To visit Tulum is to experience a unique adventure that goes beyond time.
The most popular among Tulum Eco Parks is Xel ha. This area is a collection of lagoons, coves, caves and cenotes where the pristine water from the underground rivers of the Yucatan unites with the Caribbean Sea. Xel ha has been existent long before the Hispanic era. In fact, the name of the place actually means "source of water" in Mayan language. Centuries ago, the place was a harbor used by Mayans to move through the coastal areas. Today, Xel ha is considered as the most breathtaking ocean park in the world, a natural aquarium where tourists can have their most unforgettable underwater adventures.
Tulum Eco Parks offer various water activities that visitors can really enjoy. For instance, tourists can swim with dolphin as part of the Dolphins World program in Xel ha. Here, one can experience and interact with dolphins in their natural habitat. The dolphins are actually housed in a dolphinaria, a natural reserve that has all the elements of the marine mammal's natural environment. To swim with dolphin in Xel ha is something that no tourist would want to miss. Dolphins World currently has 6 resident dolphins that have been carefully trained to amaze visitors. To swim with dolphin at Xel ha provides not just fun, but also a very enriching experience for visitors.
Finally, Tulum Eco Parks would not be complete without Xcaret. This ecological park in Riviera Maya used to be occupied by the ancient Mayans. Back in the day, Xcaret was a port and a trading center of great importance, the name itself is Mayan for small inlet. Archaeological traces of the ancient civilization, like the Polé site, are now housed in Xcaret Eco Park. Also, there is an active program that aims to restore, conserve, and showcase the region's flora and fauna. Here, tourists can travel back in time and see the different features of the Mayan culture that existed in Quintana Roo. But that's not all. Xcaret is also a place for thrill seekers who want to practice various water sports for fun.

The question of how media houses can exact payments when putting content online without jettisoning their reader base or advertising revenues, continues to be one with no easy answer. While pay walls may have proved successful for large organisations with an international or specialised readership (say the New York Times or the Financial Times), the answer for smaller publishers is often less obvious.
Piano Media
Part of the solution may come from a project launched last year by Mr Tomas Bella, the former head of a Slovakian news organisation. His firm Piano Media, which created a single pay wall for the premium content of some of the country's biggest media houses, was also rolled out in Slovenia, and this week is launching in the far larger market of Poland — home to an estimated 19.5 million Internet users.
A total of 7 media organisations covering 27 national and regional papers, 14 magazines and the country's national public radio, have joined Piano, including Agora, which publishes one of the nation's biggest dailies. Swiss-German media house, Ringier Axel Springer Poland, which publishes Forbes magazine in Poland, and the Polish division of media group, Mecom Publishing, which also owns media in Netherlands and Denmark, have also joined.
Mr Bella hopes the roll-out into Poland will show that the system works even in larger markets. "We thought that this would be a good test for Western European publishers that may not want to start with something like this but would rather see it working on a smaller scale," he told Business Line.
The Piano pay wall works like this: for a certain fee (in the case of Poland Rs 35 a week, or Rs 3,000 a year), subscribers get access to all premium content put behind the pay wall in their country — rather like a subscription to cable television. "Our idea is to change the mind set of people who never pay for content online," says Mr Bella, who believes people are far more willing to pay when there is just one pay wall and one payment system to go through, rather than many hoops. His thesis will be put to the test, as a number of the Web sites signing up in Poland already have pay walls, providing a ready comparison with the success of a system like Piano's.
User numbers
Mr Bella is reluctant to give figures on exact numbers of users, though says that in Slovakia the pay wall didn't reduce the number of visitors to Web sites. SME.sk, the Web site of the country's second largest broadsheet, actually saw a rise in readership since the introduction of the pay wall, he says.
Exactly what is put behind the pay wall varies between the media organisations: some may put as much as 50 per cent of their content behind the wall, though the majority put between 5 and 15 per cent.
Piano helps them tailor which content works best behind the pay wall through regular analysis and takes around 30 per cent of the subscription revenues.
The remainder goes to the publishers, some of it is performance based, split between publishers on the basis of where readers spend most of their time.
Piano Media is cautious about revealing where it plans to go from here (it recently received Rs 13.5 crore in funding for international expansion). But Mr Bella insists that the larger markets of Western Europe or the US are not unsuited, though it would have to be more tailored.
"We have a few ideas of how it could be used– on a regional level or a package of left leaning magazines," he suggests. "For now our focus is Europe and Poland will be the big test."

You may have bookmarked one of their CSS or Javascript tutorials, or you could have read one of their concise and refreshing articles on Smashing Magazine, you may even use one of their web apps, or it could be that you downloaded one of the many useful development tools they offer… Whether you noticed or not, in one way or another you have crossed paths with ZURB at some point or the other over the last few years.
ZURB are not your run-of-the-mill churn-em-out-and-move-on interaction companies, they're different. They are open and refreshingly unique. Which initially seemed a little bit of an enigma to me. I mean, why would they freely offer so much? If you have ever read ZURBs approachable blog, you have to wonder why they would publish such honest posts discussing their design strategies? Typically, these type of companies are normally, maybe not secretive, but they certainly like to keep their cards close to their chest. And what about the wholesale sharing of development techniques? And that leads to another question, why do they even need to develop the apps that they do? Why?
Why would I even question all of this? Why not just run with it and enjoy everything that ZURB offers? As it turns out I had to and needed to understand why. So, I got in touch with them and asked: "Why?".
As you would expect, they were very helpful and sent a truck-load of material, (they are involved in loads), which was great. But nothing really that answered my original 'why do you do this?' question, until I was directed towards an article on their blog, entitled The Dreadful Mission Statement. Here lay my answers.
Normally, I am not one that puts much stock into any companies mantra or purpose statement and I would certainly not take much notice of any mission statement they may have. But ZURBs mission statement was different, it caught my attention and absolutely explained everything:
Writing a mission statement is one thing, living by it and believing in it is another. But with ZURB, you really do get the sense that they not only live by it daily, but more importantly, it is clearly evident that the entire ZURB team believe in it as well.
That does explains everything – the tutorials, web apps, development tools, ZURBwired, ZURBsoapbox… everything – all of their creations seem to stem from their mantra: Design for People; from their purpose: Help people design for people; and from a simple yet highly believeable mission statement.
Inspired by these statements, they not help their clients connect with people through better user interfaces (with clients such as: eBay, Facebook, Yahoo, NYSE, Britney Spears, Playlist, 100+ others), they also complement their design and development consulting with products, tutorials, events, tips and tricks to help everyone else design better interfaces for people.
So, that is why.
The motivation behind this article has been to hopefully inspire other interaction companies to follow ZURBs example. Having a policy of openness, sharing and educating will not only present you in a positive light, but will also help the design community as a whole. Just imagine if every web business shared as much, how great would that be? Imagine how much we (as designers and developers) would know and how much better we would be.
From CSS tutorials, to web apps, to Javascript plugins and even design marathons, you will find almost everything that ZURB is involved in and has shared below.
The impressive apps that ZURB develop are aimed to aid anybody building a web product and to to get stuff done quicker. A CEO might use Notable to communicate changes she wants to see worked on. A marketer might use Verify to test if people would like a green or a red button on their website. A developer or an engineer might use Bounce with a client to enhance a website. There apps have been designed to be the common ground between techies and non techies alike when building a product. Have a look for yourself:
Bounce has only recently been launched. Its a fun and easy way to offer feedback on a websites design. It has become an instant hit, within the first 7 days of its launch, 170 countries linked to the tool from 30,000+ websites.
Notable is Bounce's bigger brother and Zurbs flagship product. The very easy to use Notable is a tool that allows multiple users and teams to collaborate to take notes and offer feedback on a specific area from a web designs screenshot. Compared with Bounce, it has many more powerful features, such as: privacy, capture of code, raw text, seo, and an ability to collaborate with others.
A great example of this app in action is via this Smashing Magazine article: Deconstructing Popular Websites (Click the 'Full Interactive View' links to experience Notable).
Verify is a usability app that collects and analyzes user feedback to help developers make sure people are using the correct data to make decisions when they are building a web product.
Instead of surveys and focus groups all you have to do is upload a screenshot, and ask users where they would click or what they would choose on your mockup. You can then share the URL of the interactive test you've created with others to collect quick data to act on.
ZURB CSS Grid Builder
To rapidly prototype and implement sites, ZURB uses a flexible CSS grid framework with flexible variant grids for different widths and gutter sizes. So, they built this app so that everybody could make use of it.
…and not forgetting the ZURB tools
ZURB Sketchsheets →
The ZURB Sketchsheets are set of editable PDFs that you can print out to improve the presentation of rough ideas to clients.
ZURB Grid Paper →
To help with your design sketches, ZURB have created these printable PDF grid sheets to give a little more structure to your concepts and wireframes.
ZURBplayground & The Famous Awesome CSS Buttons
The ZURBplayground is a must bookmark for any developer – it is choc-full of useful techniques and insightful tutorials, that covers everything from ground-breaking CSS3 techniques (the Super Awesome buttons anyone?) to the super-useful Javascript tutorials and plugins.
The humble beginnings of the playground came about because ZURB felt that they should have a page where they could share the last twelve years of interesting moments and slick interactions that they have stumbled on through there products, thus the ZURBplayground was created.
Here are some of those famous techniques that have been developed by ZURB:
The Famous and Super Awesome Button Techniques
Groundbreaking & Innovative CSS3 Tutorials
Super-Useful Javascript Tutorials & Plugins
What else is ZURB Involved in?
ZURBwired – 24-hour Design Collaboration
ZURBwired is just another example of how crazy and wild a company they actually are. Every spring, ZURB, accompanied by a bunch of volunteers and sponsors from around the US, host an annual 24-hour design marathon where they select a non-profit and they work around the clock to complete an entire marketing campaign from concept development to implementation and production all within an exhausting 24 hours. The best way to get the feel for this event is to watch this video:
ZURBsoapbox – Lecture Series for Entrepreneurs, Designers, and Managers
The ZURBsoapbox is a lecture series where expert geeks share their lessons learned with like-minded novice geeks. With some impressive previous speakers including the Chief Design Architect at Yahoo, the founder of Technorati, the Principal Designer behind Firefox, and the former Director of UI Engineering at Netflix, you know that this is a serious event you should be keeping tabs on.
A great example of this event is former Director of UI Engineering at Netflix Bill Scott's ZURBsoapbox talk about how to Design Like Netflix, you can read the article and listen to the podcast here: Podcast of Bill Scott's Talk: Behind the scenes of Netflix's UI
ZURB themselves were so inspired by his talk that they decided to use his interesting Moments grid to help design there latest app Bounce.
More from ZURB
Driven by a team of passionate, dedicated (a bunch of work-a-holics), sometimes wild and always positive interaction designers and strategists there really is no end to what they can do and achieve. A truly inspirational company, that all others should aspire to be like.

Christmas came one day early for boys and girls in Grovetown. Businesses and law enforcement worked together to give children a brighter holiday.
Parents and children were surprised when a parade of people came to their doorstep. The Grovetown Department of Public Safety worked with Boy Scout Troop 108, staff from Eagle Paint and Body, and Herbert Homes to deliver bikes to those in need.
Jennifer Edwards said seeing her girls happy is very important to her during the holidays. When a line of cars showed up at her front door, she couldn't wait to see her daughters' reaction. "It means a lot because people these days don't help out, but I was very excited and blessed," whe said.
Helping out is just what Denise and Brooks Whitmire are doing this Christmas. "We know that this has been a hard year for a lot of families, a lot of people have lost their jobs, and times are tough," said Denise Whitmire.
The Whitmires put together several of the bikes in their body shop. "Some of them just needed refurbishing and polishing a little bit, and missing parts you know, here and there, and so we just made sure all those things were addressed and taken care of," Denise said.
Grovetown Public Safety Chief Gary Owens said this event not only helps those in need, but brings the community together.
"We like to partner with the businesses because the communities are all together, and the businesses got to be with everybody, and that's kind of how Grovetown is...kind of like a small town atmosphere," Chief Owens said.
The crew brought 12 bikes total to 10 different families in town. When the bikes were delivered, they also supplied each family with gift cards to buy helmets and other safety equipment.

Wow, last summer I had the opportunity to attend The Wharton Web Conference which featured Steve Wozniak in a Q&A Keynote. I also had a special opportunity, thanks to Wharton and Tim Allen to have dinner the Woz.
Growing up on Apple, this was an amazing experience. During his keynote, Steve talked about Apple, Google, open vs closed systems, education and shared his thoughts on several technology trends. One story that stuck with me, was how he had less than a week to create the first disk drive for the Apple II right before a conference. He created the first gen version which then went into production and provided a way for us to save less than 1mb of data onto a portable media.
After dinner, he signed the groups phone or anything you had with you. I went with the iPhone 4, which was my phone at the time. A couple of the guests had him sign an Android device, which I expected to explode (haha).
Looking forward to going again this week, a great event if you can attend:

"A rise in a young, library-chic subculture on blogs and on Twitter is putting a new face on this changing role, said Linda C. Smith, president of the Association for Library and Information Science Education.
Some wear tattoos, piercings and dress like they belong on the streets of Brooklyn instead of behind bookshelves."
It is true that libraries are much different than when I was younger. I doubt our son will ever need to use a card catalog, nor will he bother reference librarians with scavenger hunt questions about presidents, etc. that google can answer in 3 seconds. Will he ever need to use the microfiche machine? We thought those things were state-of-the-art. On the other hand, a library is still, for us, a place for books. To pull them off the shelves, turn the pages, roam the stacks eyeing the bindings, and walk around inhaling the book smell... I can't imagine that changing. Or at least, I don't want to.

Derbyshire student pays US authorities £20k to avoid extradition
A student who ran a website where users could stream pirated films has "avoided a conviction" after paying £20,000 to US authorities, his lawyer has said.
Richard O'Dwyer, from Chesterfield, ran the TVShack website hosting links to pirated films and TV programmes.
But after a court hearing in New York, the 24-year-old avoided extradition and conviction by signing a Deferred Prosecution Agreement.
As a result he paid £20,000 to the authorities, representing the profits he made from TVShack between December 2007 and November 2009.
