KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (release) -- Tennessee used an 18-2 run midway through the second half to rally from a deficit and knock off Western Carolina, 66-52, before 15,109 at Thompson-Boling Arena on Friday night. It was yet another balanced scoring attack for the Vols as four players scored in double-figures. Junior Jordan McRae led with 14 points off the bench for Tennessee (7-3).
Sophomore Josh Richardson equaled his career-high with 12 points.
Sophomore Jarnell Stokes also netted 12 points, while grabbing nine rebounds. Junior Trae Golden tallied 10 points, making 8-10 from the foul-line.
In his return to the lineup after missing the previous game due to injury, Kenny Hall grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds and scored nine points.
The win marked the 300th at Thompson-Boling Arena for the Vols. Since TBA opened its doors in 1987, Tennessee is 300-104 for a 74.3 win percentage.
The Vols outrebounded WCU, 45-30.
Tennessee held its fifth opponent this season to 60 or fewer points and all five have come in the last six games. The Vols have won all three games to start their six-game homestand.
Western Carolina (4-8) was led by Trey Sumler, who had 23. Brandon Boggs added 15.
After a sluggish first half with lots of missed shots, as the Vols had their worst shooting half in six years, the second half saw the action heat up. Neither team led by more than five points for the first 12 minutes of the second half. That was until the Vols buckled down on defense and went to town on offense.
The Vols surged out on Western Carolina during that 18-2 run midway through the second half to pull away. Down 38-37 with 11:57 left, the Vols wore down the Catamounts. Richardson's layup put the Vols ahead for good with 11:38 left, giving the Vols a 39-38 advantage.
Richardson and Hall added jumpers for a 43-38 lead. After a Mike Brown jumper, Tennessee reeled off 12 consecutive points to take a 55-40 led. Skylar McBee's 3-pointer punctuated the spurt with 4:11 left.
The Vols defense stifled the Catamounts, holding them scoreless for 5:07 during the 12-0 run.
Despite shooting just 3-of-21 in the first half, Tennessee led Western Carolina at halftime, 22-18 The Vols scored 14 of the final 16 points of the half over the final 6:12.
After trailing by as many as 10 in the first half, Tennessee regained the lead at 17-16 on a McRae free throw with 3:48 left in the first half.
The Vols started 1-of-15 from the floor and fell behind 14-4 midway through the first half as WCU went on a 10-0 run behind Sumler, who had nine of the 10 points in the spurt.
UT didn't have a field goal for more than 10 minutes before McRae ended the drought with a jumper at the 7:46 mark. That brought the Vols within six at 14-8.
Tennessee's three field goals were the fewest by UT in a half since shooting just 3-of-29 in the second half against Butler in 2006.
Tennessee returns to action as it continues its six-game homestand on Saturday, Dec. 29 against Xavier at 6 p.m. That game airs on ESPNU and can be heard on the Vol Network.

The Digital Skeptic: Insider Trading? Why Even Bother?
But he points out, the profits made were comparatively small. For all of Rajaratnam's skullduggery, he netted $63.8 million over the roughly seven-year period defined by the indictments -- about $9 million a year. Not that stellar a return, considering Rajaratnam managed a reported $7 billion in assets in 2008.
"A longer-term view probably would have netted more return," Foege argues."If there is one thing I have learned, it's that the real money is made in finding quality companies where there is an opportunity to realize value over the long haul."
What's a tipster know, anyway?
Foege also makes a powerful argument that insider information isn't as unique than as it seems. Take the red-hot case of Dr. Sidney Gilman, a recently retired University of Michigan professor, and Mathew Martoma, an ex-analyst with a shop called CR Intrinsic Investors.
SEC documents break down in grisly detail how Gilman was allegedly paid $1,000 an hour to feed Martoma insider data concerning details of an Alzheimer's drug trial from Elan (ELN). Martoma was fed knowledge by Gilman of the looming failure of the trial before the larger market knew, the SEC said. Martoma restructured his company's investment in Elan, supposedly netting $276 million for the firm -- and a $9.3 million bonus for himself.Foege agrees that while the specifics of trials are often secret, such medical research is often done in a near public, peer-reviewed fashion, putting a surprising amount of data in plain sight. What the supposed one-of-a-kind, expert tipster is offering as "insider information" is much more fluid -- and more visible -- than uneducated investors think, making the risks the company was running crystal clear, he said. "I've done enough medical device research to tell you," Foege said. "This kind of work is not done in a vacuum," Why bother?
Which leads investors to the obvious question: If the digital age offers so much of the information investors need, why do the rich and powerful mess with what might be dangerous data? "Analysts are under a huge amount of pressure to reach performance goals," Foege said. "And they are looking for an edge. So sometimes they miss the information forest for the trees." The problem is, in the digital age, if you wander in that forest for too long, you may wind up stumbling into the woodshed.

Our Process
DEJAN SEO's PPC strategists are Google Partner Certified and have each built and optimised hundreds of campaigns. Some notable clients include, GJ Gardner Homes, The Mater Foundation, University of Queensland, Rave Magazine and SAE Qantm. Your dedicated account manager will work closely with you to understand your business's products, services, and goals and develop strategies to achieve them.
Research and Strategy
Once our PPC strategists have determined the KPI's (key-performance-indicators) for the campaign we will develop a strategy to achieve this based on budget. Our PPC strategists perform:
- Competitor Analysis – We analyse what is working well for you competitors, this gives us a starting point for your campaign. We don't intend to always re-invent the wheel, just optimise it.
- Keyword Research – Using internal and external tools we can build a keyword list that has the highest chance of initial success.
- Negative Keyword Development – This can be extremely important as campaigns often need to start out with broad matched phrases. Keywords like Jobs, history, wiki, DIY often should be used as negative to qualify who you show your advertisements too.
- Placement Research – Rather than just turning on the display network or blasting Facebook with advertisements we consider the demographics of the responders most likely to make a conversion. Placements can be managed by selecting particular sites that correlate with your product or service. Demographics can be managed by selecting, gender, age, locations etc.
Building/Rebuilding of Campaigns
Depending on the health of the campaign our PPC strategists will determine if it is necessary or not to rebuild your current campaign. As the historic CTR (click-through-rate) will have a bearing on Quality Scores and therefore determine CPC (cost-per-click) and CPA (cost-per-acquisition), it is often better to start from scratch if the campaign has had a poor history.
When building campaigns our PPC Strategists will develop:
- Keywords – We run search query reports in order to determine how people are finding and clicking on your advertisements and we analyse poor performing keywords. This allows too refine the initial keyword list.
- AdGroups – Build/refine your AdGroups to keep them tightly themed to ensure the rights ads are triggered for searches.
- AdCopy – Our PPC strategists all have online copywriting experience, ads are written to ensure highest chances of success.
- Targeting – Initially our experienced PPC strategists make decisions for, ad-scheduling, geographic regions, placements and demographics.
- Conversion Tracking – We setup/refine tracking for the campaign to ensure future decisions are based on lowering CPA and Increasing ROI.
- Alerts – We set up custom alerts to ensure we are aware of any problems as soon as they happen.
Monitoring and Optimising
After the campaign is built it is set live. This is when we can start to collect data on strengths and weaknesses of the campaign. This data is then used to optimise the campaign for better performance. Our PPC Strategists will optimise:
- Keywords – We continually run search query reports, this allows us to continue building and refining the keywords we advertise under.
- AdCopy – We split test AdCopy, by running multiple advertisements we are constantly able to improve the CTR (click-through-rate) of our Advertisements.
- Targeting – Data we collect from the campaign and tracking allows us to make explicit decisions of when, where and who we show advertisements to.
Testing and Experimenting
As part of the ongoing optimisation of the account we will be testing and experimenting with segments of the campaign in order to determine the best possible settings and components.
Our PPC strategists will perform testing and experiments through:
Split Testing AdCopy – We will try different copy and USP's (unique-selling-points) to continually improve the campaigns performance.
Testing Targeting – Taking small segments of campaigns and testing other possible demographics, scheduling and placements allows us to improve campaigns performance without making risky decisions.
Experimentation with Bids – We will experiment segments of the campaign, testing the changes in CPA and ROI based on adjustments in bids.
Placement Experimentation – Trialling and monitoring new placement opportunities, continually increase the reach potential of your advertising campaigns. Whilst ensuring only small, calculated risk are taken.
Reporting and Communication
We provide our clients with customised, detailed and transparent reporting. While we have a formal monthly report that will be sent out and followed up with a call we can also provide more detail throughout the month and will be constantly pouring over data to discover strengths, weaknesses and opportunities in your account. We will communicate this report with you in order to determine the strategy for the continual optimisation of your advertising accounts.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Michelle Obama says a proposed new supermarket in the middle of a blue-collar Hispanic neighborhood in Southern California is an example of how the effort to bring healthy foods to low-income communities is paying off.
The first lady on Wednesday visited the site of a future Northgate Gonzalez Market in Inglewood.
The new market is being financed by a public-private partnership called the California FreshWorks Fund, which is aimed at bringing grocers to areas spurned by traditional supermarket chains.
Mrs. Obama says these types of initiatives are helping to make a dent in the high rate of obesity and weight-related illnesses that plague inner cities.

In Germany the words 'protective custody' have a double meaning. Originally the term meant the incarceration of people who were threatened by others and who were guarded for their own safety so that they might be protected from their enemies. Now, however, men in protective custody are mostly those who are brought, for the 'protection of the people and the State,' into a concentration camp without hearing, without court sentence, without the possibility of redress, and for an indefinite time. Frequently people sentenced by a court are taken into protective custody by the Gestapo after serving their prison sentence, often directly from the prison gate. Such, for example, was the fate of Pastor Niemöller, who, after being released from prison, was taken into the camp Sachsenhausen near Oranienburg, the camp with which we shall be concerned here. He is in solitary confinement there, and I never saw him.
I was taken into protective custody in connection with the murder of the German attaché in Paris, Ernst vom Rath, by the seventeen-year-old Polish subject, Grynszpan, who had been expelled from Germany first and then had been ordered to leave France. I do not want to justify this political murder in any way, but I can understand it as the act of a hopelessly desperate person.
I do not understand, however, the attitude of Hitler and his followers in this matter. To atone for the Paris murder, the Nazis imposed a collective punishment upon all German subjects of Jewish origin. First they organized a 'spontaneous' outburst of popular rage on the eve of November 10, 1938, throughout Germany at almost the same hour, and everywhere by the same methods. Abuses and tortures, even manslaughter, destruction of Jewish shops and apartments, arson of synagogues with gasoline brought for the purpose—such was the program.
The destruction of valuable property, of irretrievable art treasures, as well as of valuable tapestries in Munich, of Rembrandt pictures in Hesse, was not enough. The decision was made to bring a great number of Jews into camps for protective custody. Rough estimate places the number of victims at about sixty thousand males. In the camp with which we are dealing there were probably about six to seven thousand men.
The arrests took place in various ways, partly through the S.A. or S.S., partly through uniformed police, partly through plain-clothes men or secret police. It was the latter in my case. There appeared suddenly at our door a group of three men in civilian clothes, identified by their badges as policemen, who took us away in a car after having established through questioning that we were 'non-Aryans.' They also arrested a gentleman who happened to be visiting us. They had no warrants, and declined to give any information about our further destiny; our families for days were without any idea of what had happened to us. We were brought into the courtyard of the police headquarters, our names and addresses were taken down, and without any further hearing we were loaded into large trucks covered with canvas, in which benches had been placed. For the older people—and the majority were over fifty—a chair had been provided so that they might climb into the truck more easily. We mention this here especially because the treatment of the uniformed police in charge of the transportation differed pleasantly from the treatment we suffered in the camp at the hands of the S.S. The crowds in the streets took little notice of the police trucks driving in a row. Only a few urchins around the police headquarters greeted us with howling.
Our trip, full of suspense, took us past the baroque palace of Oranienburg, built at the time of Frederick the Great, through the sand of Brandenburg and through deserted pine forests, thence to a large settlement. Suddenly we saw in front of us high walls (about fourteen feet) which, at intervals of two hundred yards, were crowned by watchtowers, so that the whole camp gave the impression of a Chinese city as we knew it from pictures. We drove through an iron gate, and soon after through a second gate in a second inner wall about a hundred feet from the first one. In the space between the two walls there were barracks with administration and treasury buildings, and vegetable and other gardens. The inner gate, which led through the main watchtower, bore the inscription 'Work Makes Free'—an inscription which many inmates of the camp, after years of work and vain hope for release, will probably take as sarcasm.
If, up to now, we had interpreted our fate only as a privation of liberty, our experience changed rapidly. We had to jump down from the truck without the aid of a chair, and the request for a helping hand was denied with abuse. One of our comrades, an older man lacking the agility of youth, fell in this enforced jump and hurt the back of his head so badly that his skin had to be sewed with several stitches. Hardly were we standing on the ground when a pack of young men in S.S. uniforms, with yells and abuse, chased us to the other end of the large, inner, so-called inspection ground, which is surrounded by the barracks of the prisoners. Those who couldn't run fast enough were kicked.
We were first placed in deep rows, ordered to take off our hats and gloves, arid told not to stir. Then some of us had to step out and carry through our rows signs mounted on poles with the following inscriptions: 'We are the chosen people' (with the David star over the inscription); 'We are the murderers of the diplomat vom Rath'; 'We are the destroyers of German culture.' The camp lead evidently coming from Saxony, a slender and somewhat coquettish man with the rank of an officer of the S.S., ordered me to pick up a large paper bag, which an S.S. man put on my head as a cap, and I had to stand like that for some time. This was a harmless attempt at humiliation. Less harmless was the attempt to frighten us through the announcement that we should have to stay in the camp for twenty years. For some these threats were a cause of serious depression even of attempted suicide.

The Operating Environment
It was a year of continuing disappointment and frustration for the Michigan economy in 2006, as the state's recession dragged into its sixth year with few signs of an imminent turnaround.
Seasonally adjusted unemployment in the state stood at 6.9 percent at year-end 2006, up slightly from year-end 2005's 6.8 percent but down from the 10-year peak of 7.1 percent at the end of 2003. Compared to 1980-85, a six-year period during which Michigan's jobless rate averaged in the double-digits, the current numbers seemed mild — to the superficial observer. But there were underlying factors that made 6.9 percent unemploy-ment in 2006 arguably more troubling than the 15.2 percent in the jobless rate Michigan suffered through in 1982.
To begin with, the entire U.S. was mired in a severe recession in 1982, while in 2006 most of the country outside Michigan enjoyed steady economic growth and a healthy job market. National unemployment in 2006 stood at just 4.5 percent and GDP growth came in at a solid 3.4 percent, with projections for a more modest but still positive 2.5 - 2.9 percent gain in 2007.
Further, many economists see Michigan's current economic troubles as profoundly different in character from those of previous downturns. Unlike the recessions of the early 1980s and 1990s, today's job losses in the automotive and manufacturing sectors appear to be permanent. Indeed, the Michigan Department of Treasury is forecasting that the state's unemployment rate will average 7.4 percent in 2007 and 7.7 percent in 2008.
The statistics are just as unappealing in the area of personal income, where Michigan's per capita income as a percentage of the U.S. average now stands at 95 percent. We are, for the moment at least, no longer a "rich" state. In fact, Michigan's only place at the top of the economic data charts appears to be in the area of home foreclosures. The number of Michigan homes under foreclosure doubled from 2004 to 2006 to a rate that is 2 1/2 times the national average.
No economist is necessary, however, to pinpoint the primary reason for this ongoing economic malaise. Unlike its sister states, Michigan has remained painfully dependent on manufacturing jobs — particularly in the automotive sector. In fact, Michigan's automotive-based employment is seven times the national average, and a recent study showed that each Michigan job lost in the automotive industry sets off
a cascading effect that eventually eliminates up to five jobs in other sectors of the economy.
This broad economic pain has made itself felt in the coffers of state and local government, as declining employment rolls translated into declining tax rolls. Lansing has struggled with serious budget shortfalls, exacerbated by the Michigan Legislature's decision in 2006 to accelerate the phasing out of the state's Single Business Tax (SBT) to the end of 2007.
Inevitably, Michigan's economic troubles have impacted on Michigan credit unions. Membership growth was flat in 2006, and assets, savings and loans experienced anemic increases of 0.6, 1.9 and 0.4 percent, respectively. These numbers compare with healthy national growth rates in 2006 of 2.0 percent in membership, 5.5 percent in assets, a robust 9.0 percent in loans and 5.1 percent in savings.
Still, Michigan credit unions have largely managed the poor economic climate with prudence and skill. While Michigan credit union loan charge-offs and member bankruptcies were above the national average in 2006, Michigan credit unions' net capital/asset ratio and loan yields remained above the national norms.

Hello Dr. Lam!
I have a question about my nose that I hope you could help me answer. Four years ago, I had my first rhinoplasty done in California. The surgeon was supposedly very good, but he seemed to have rushed through my surgery -- the result was that my nostrils were crooked and after a year or so, a bump appeared on the right right side of my nose! The material used was gortex. I then went to a different surgeon and he redid my nose, this time using silicon. It actually looks a LOT better now, and I know that he did the best he could since the first surgeon messed up. However, even though the left side of my nose looks really good, the right side looks a little pinched in and I think that the alar groove looks too deep (maybe this is due to scarring or because the first surgeon took too much cartilage out the first time?). This fact is most noticeable in pictures...the two sides of my nose look different from each other. I have contacted the surgeon, but he doesn't sound like he wants to redo anything for me. I live in TX and I have no desire to travel to CA for a consultation if he doesn't seem to want to fix it.
Do you think that it would be easy to fix the alar groove on my right side? Or to make the pinched look go away? In general, is this a hard procedure? I just want my right side to look like my left side... I really want you to give me some type of insight before I schedule a consultation with you since I live a few hours away.
Thank you so much!
(p.s. Is there a private email where I could perhaps send you my pics? That way, you might have a better idea of what I'm talking about.)

Emerging Global Advisors Makes a Big Splash in Bond Funds
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- One of the cornerstones of the entire ETF industry is the startup nature of the business especially among the smaller ETF providers. Innovation comes not just from the funds offered but also potentially from partnerships formed to offer new products. Out in front of what could be a wave of new alliances Emerging Global Advisors has partnered with TCW to bring the following suite of funds to the market;
- EGShares TCW EM Short Term Investment Grade Bond ETF (SEMF)
- EGShares TCW EM Intermediate Term Investment Grade Bond ETF (IEMF)
- EGShares TCW EM Long Term Investment Grade Bond ETF (LEMF)
Quite obviously the funds provide access to emerging market, investment grade debt that is dollar denominated and investors can choose among the funds how far out they go on the yield curve.
While Emerging Global is well known to ETF investors the new funds represent TCW's first foray into ETFs. TCW is of course a huge management firm with $10 billion in emerging market debt alone and is the sub-advisor for all three funds.
All three funds track indexes from JPMorgan, own dollar denominated debt, charge a 0.65% expense ratio and are comprised of a combination of corporate debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt which is debt not issued by a government but backed by the government. Emerging market debt is often denominated in U.S. dollars to make the bonds more appealing to investors.They are all heaviest in corporate debt with SEMF at 64%, IEMF at 48% and LEMF at 44%. The index underlying the short-term fund allocates 18% each to Brazil and Russia, 14% to Mexico and 10% in Turkey. It has 50 holdings, the effective duration is 1.82 years and weighted average yield to maturity is 1.65%. Similarly, the index underlying the intermediate fund allocates 20% each to Brazil and Russia and 11% in Mexico. Both it and the long term fund each have 120 holdings. The effective duration for the intermediate fund is 4.64 years and its weighted average yield to maturity is 4.07%.

A Cheektowaga teacher has filed a civil rights lawsuit against the school district, saying her First Amendment rights were violated after officials asked her to remove religious items from her classroom. YNN's Meg Rossman has more on lawsuit and the district's reaction.
CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — "We just felt that it was the right thing, the right thing to do," Cheektowaga Central Schools Superintendent Dennis Kane said.
But asking Joelle Silver to take down religious posters in her classroom has now prompted the high school science teacher to file a civil rights lawsuit.
"Essentially, the school district was forcing her to cleanse anything religious from her classroom, from her speech," attorney Robert Muise said. "We're talking about personal, non-curriculum speech."
School officials say it all started last spring when a student notified the Freedom from Religion Foundation in Wisconsin, threatening to sue the district over four posters containing Bible verses hanging in the classroom.
That prompted officials to launch their own investigation.
"We really didn't know they were there," Kane said. "Plus, upon legal review, legal counsel says they shouldn't be there."
The district then sent Silver an eight-page "counseling" letter, advising her of her First Amendment rights and detailing religious items in the classroom. Silver took them down – and then filed the suit with help of Muise and the American Freedom Law Center.
"When the government is imposing such draconian restrictions on a government employee, they run afoul of U.S. Constitution as in this case," he said.
Silver's attorney said she's not looking for monetary compensation, just an acknowledgment that the district violated her constitutional rights and the removal of the counseling letter from her file.
Kane tells YNN that Silver is still teaching in the district and the two have an amicable relationship.

Call it the Magna Carta of copyright – England's Statute of Anne was born 300 years ago this weekend and, for the first time in history, conferred upon authors certain rights to the work. Unfortunately, says Duke Law School professor James Boyle, modern copyright law has strayed far from Anne's original intent.
There's a reason you don't hear much about international trade agreements. They are kind of dull, and they're usually not very controversial. But the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is different.
"One feels that you're almost in a bit of a twilight zone," says Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa. "I mean, we're talking about a copyright treaty. And it's being treated as akin to nuclear secrets."

Breaking news is now copied and redistributed on thousands of websites across the Internet within minutes - producing a World Wide Web of carbon copies. First Amendment lawyer David Marburger argues that this redistribution is hurting newspapers financially and that the fault lies with the Copyright Act.
If embedded player does not show you can hear and read full story here.
BBC Contributor Bill Thompson chronicles more evidence of a copyright system used as a cudgel;
"It seems that copyright, a legal framework developed over 300 years to ensure a balance between the interests of the wider community and those of the creative artist has become so tipped towards those of the "rights holder" that few of us can go through a day without breaking the law in one way or another."
To photographer Mike Hipple, the claim is baseless. The photo he took about 10 years ago of a woman standing near the "Dance Steps on Broadway" sculpture in Seattle's Capitol Hill is an example of fair use. If it's not, he reasons, the right of all photographers to take pictures in public will be in jeopardy.
His photo was, after all, "taken on a public sidewalk, showing a woman interacting with a piece of public art, paid for by public funds. And it only depicts a small portion of the artwork at that," Hipple wrote. "Now if this doesn't qualify as fair use of the sculpture, I don't know what does."
From the article:
Six book publishers have gained an injunction against file-hosting company, RapidShare. The Swiss-based 'cyberlocker' service must monitor user uploads to ensure that around 148 titles, many of them textbooks, are never made available to its users. Failure to do so could result in $339,000 fines, or even jail time for company bosses.
For those who don't know, RapidShare is site where one can upload files for off-site storage and distribution. It's that "distribution" that it's well known for as thousands of people upload larger files to the service with the intention of allowing others to download. Though it's well known in certain circles for hosting pirated content, it's strange that the first shot fired against it should come from the publishing industry rather than the recording or motion picture industries.
Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars is a book by William Patry. Patry is Senior Copyright Counsel at Google, Inc.
Wikipedia entry on Patry
Book description:
Metaphors, moral panics, folk devils, Jack Valenti, Joseph Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes, predictable irrationality, and free market fundamentalism are a few of the topics covered in this lively, unflinching examination of the Copyright Wars: the pitched battles over new technology, business models, and most of all, consumers.
In Moral Panics and the Copyright Wars, William Patry lays bare how we got to where we are: a bloated, punitive legal regime that has strayed far from its modest, but important roots. Patry demonstrates how copyright is a utilitarian government program--not a property or moral right. As a government program, copyright must be regulated and held accountable to ensure it is serving its public purpose. Just as Wall Street must serve Main Street, neither can copyright be left to a Reaganite "magic of the market." -- Read More
Beyond "Harry Potter": 5 interesting tales of plagiarism
Rowling is hardly the first well-known writer to face plagiarism charges. The results of such charges tend to vary widely. Some end up dismissed as without merit, others ruin careers, and yet others seem simply to disappear.
Who controls the internet? Well, at the moment a trade agreement known as ACTA is being negotiated by the U.S., Japan, the European Union, Canada and more than a dozen other countries, and, if ratified, would significantly regulate what you can and can't do online. ACTA's rules will supersede each country's local laws. Oh, and the whole affair is secret. Danny O'Brien of the Electronic Frontier Foundation explains the possible impact on net users worldwide.

J.K. Rowling has been named in a lawsuit alleging she stole ideas for her wildly popular and lucrative "Harry Potter" books from another British author reports The Huffington Post.
The estate of the late Adrian Jacobs on Wednesday added Rowling as a defendant in a lawsuit it filed in June against Bloomsbury Publishing PLC for alleged copyright infringement, according to a statement released by the estate's representatives, who are based in Australia.
The lawsuit, filed in a London court, claims Rowling's book "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" copied substantial parts of Jacobs' 1987 book, "The Adventures of Willy the Wizard – No. 1 Livid Land." Jacobs' estate also claims that many other ideas from "Willy the Wizard" were copied into the "Harry Potter" books. Jacobs died in London in 1997.
"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" is the fourth book in Rowling's series and was published in July 2000.

The first step in competitive analysis is deciding who your competitors are. Sounds simple, right? Guess again. Fulton says entrepreneurs often have difficulty defining exactly who their competitors are. Start by identifying direct competitors--firms currently selling a similar product or service to the same customers you hope to reach.
Consider Jan Zobel's business. Zobel runs a successful tax-preparation firm in Oakland, California, that caters to the tax needs of individuals and small businesses. One obvious competitor for Zobel's business might appear to be H&R Block, the national chain of tax-preparation offices. Zobel, however, doesn't consider the company to be a direct competitor. "H&R Block is an entirely different kind of service," Zobel explains. She focuses on serving clients who want an ongoing, personalized, year-round relationship with a tax consultant, while H&R Block serves the needs of customers looking for once-a-year tax assistance. Although she still keeps tabs on H&R Block's pricing and marketing, Zobel considers her main competitors to be the firms that concentrate on serving the same market niche that she does.
On the other hand, Rice says that even though her business is entirely mail order, she still considers retail stores that sell similar products to be direct competitors. "I have to worry about competitors that have stores," she explains, "because people still go there to buy brownies."
How do you identify your direct competitors? Fulton says a look in the Yellow Pages or a call to your town's chamber of commerce can help identify local competitors. If you expect to sell to a national market, broaden your search for competitors. Industry associations, trade publications, and even a search on the Internet can help you turn up competitors. You can find listings of industry associations in Gale Research's Encyclopedia of Associations, while Ulrich's Guide to International Periodicals can help you locate trade magazines in your particular industry. One excellent place to spot competitors in a specific industry is in the Thomas Register of Manufacturers, available in bound volumes, on CD-ROM, and also over the Internet (http://www.thomasregister.com). All three directories are available at most public libraries. Asking your potential customers who they're currently buying from is another good way to get a handle on your rivals.
Once you've identified your direct competitors, dig deeper. Customers have to make choices about where and how to spend their money. Many businesses, therefore, also face indirect competition for customer dollars.
Fulton says he discovered this when he owned his own travel agency. "I thought my competitors would just be other travel agencies," he says. "But I found I wasn't just losing business to other travel agencies, but also to the local jewelry store and appliance store. I realized I had to worry just as much about my indirect competition."
Indirect competition can be particularly important if you're introducing a totally new product or service concept. To succeed, you'll have to convince consumers to spend their hard-earned money on your product instead of on something else. You must determine which customer spending habits you'll need to influence in order to get customers to buy your product.

North Korea is warning that its rockets are capable of striking the continental United States, two days after Seoul said it signed a deal with Washington to allow South Korea to extend the range of its ballistic missiles.
A spokesperson for the North's National Defense Commission said in state media Tuesday Pyongyang has "strategic rocket forces" that can hit not only the mainland U.S., but also American military bases in South Korea, Japan and Guam.
North Korea is believed to be developing intercontinental ballistic missiles, but they have not been tested successfully. While Pyongyang does have the capability to strike South Korea and other nearby countries, experts say it could not strike the U.S. mainland.
It is Pyongyang's first public reaction to the deal announced Sunday in Seoul between the U.S. and South Korea, which nearly tripled the range of Seoul's missile system to protect against a possible attack from the nuclear-armed North.
South Korean officials say the new deal allows South Korea to extend the maximum range of ballistic missiles from the current 300 kilometers to 800 kilometers, which would give it the range to hit all of North Korea. The 300-kilometer limit was part of a 2001 accord with the United States.
Pyongyang's Korean Central News Agency quoted the spokesperson as saying that the deal shows the United States and its allies are plotting to "ignite a war" against the North. He said Pyongyang is ready to match any enemy "nuclear for nuclear, missile for missile." KCNA regularly publishes inflammatory and threatening material directed against the United States and South Korea.
North Korea is under heavy United Nations sanctions for its nuclear and missile programs. In April, it conducted a failed rocket launch that it said was aimed at putting a satellite into orbit. Seoul and Washington say the launch was a disguised long-range missile test.

Sugar Explosion
The participant that is "it" chases other children and tries to tag them before they can say a name of a candy bar. After a candy bar is mentioned, it cannot be used again. Once a participant is tagged, he is out of the game until a new round begins.
Dangling Donuts
Hang several glazed donuts from strings suspended from a broom stick held up by two leaders. Each participant chooses one donut and tries to eat it faster than the other participants.
Chocolate Pudding Drop
Divide children into pairs and have one participant lay on the ground with his mouth open. The other participant stands on a chair and attempts to feed chocolate pudding to his partner by dropping spoonfuls into his mouth. The team that finishes the bowl of pudding with the least amount of mess is the winner.
Spoon Game
Have the children sit in a circle on the ground with place settings in front of them. The person who has been chosen to start the game tells the participant on his left, "This is a spoon," as he hands the spoon to the second person. The second person questions, "A what?" "A spoon," restates the first person. Then, the second person repeats the same dialogue to the person on his left and the conversation continues throughout the circle. Meanwhile, the first person brings out a knife and tells the person on his left, "This is a knife." The process continues with a fork, glass, and plate. The fun of this game is the confusion that occurs when trying to keep the place settings straight.
Eat Crackers And Whistle
Have children determine who can eat three saltine crackers the fastest and whistle a short song afterward.
Cotton Candy Relay
A team of four children tries to keep a clear garbage bag full of balloons floating in the air as they negotiate their way through a course of cones placed in a line formation. The team of children has to weave in and out of the cones. Leaders can create a fun story about the children working in a candy factory and having to carry large bags of cotton candy to the store to be sold. However, the cotton candy cannot touch the ground or it will dissolve. Allow time for discussion with the children after this activity to see how they learned to work together. A fun way to end this activity period is to have camp counselors make cotton candy for the children. Children should be cautioned that this activity is an adult supervised activity and that children without adult supervision should never to play with garbage bags.
Graham Cracker Train
Allow children to design a candy train with graham crackers and extra thick frosting. Use an ice cream sugar cone for the smoke stack and add candy cargo to each boxcar. They can also make train wheels with peppermint candy and a train track with licorice and pretzels.

A Last Look Back at Chemical Security - Highlights from the Conversation
The first entry I wrote for this blog back in April 2010 was entitled "The Chemical Security Conversation" begins -- and what a conversation it's been. I hope that we have been able to provide you with relevant news and information and maybe shed some light on a complex topic.
Port Security Grant Program Legislation Introduced
U.S. House Representative Laura Richardson (D-CA) recently introduced two bills that would expand the ways grantees can use grant money awarded under the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Port Security Grant Program (PSGP): H.R. 5802, the Port Security Equipment Act of 2012 and H.R.
USCG Working to Harmonize Maritime Transportation Security Internationally
The National Maritime Security Advisory Committee (NMSAC) was formed under the authority of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of 2002.
DHS Moves to Update MTSA
On December 20, 2010, DHS published its semi-annual regulatory agenda, which among other things, addressed an upcoming Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that will include updates to Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) Code of Federal Regulations (33 CFR Parts 101-106).
DHS Updates CFATS Progress
I recently sat in on another webinar where DHS gave a CFATS update. This time it was Todd Klessman, acting branch chief, Policy and Programs Branch, for the Infrastructure Security Compliance Division at the Office of Infrastructure Protection. Here are the numbers as of January 2011:

At our time of departure from Our Jungle House, thanks to the lady at the reception, we saw a hornbill sitting in the trees. These giant birds always live in pairs and we could hear the calls of the second one from beyond the river. Even with our superzoom camera the bird is hard to distinguish but we were happy anyway to having seen one of these majestic animals.
We picked up guests from other resorts to complete our group of 11 people plus guide for our trip to Cheow Lan Lake. The minibus stopped at a street market where we bought a second head lamp since we would pass through Nam Talu cave as part of the tour. After we arrived at the lake we boarded a long-tail boat and the actual lake trip started.
Our first stop was at the Tone Toey raft houses – swimming huts designed also for staying overnight. While the rest of the group jumped into the lake we could watch long-tailed macaques cleverly snatching kitchen scraps.After lunch part of our group decided to stay at the raft houses and to do some canoeing, while we went up a side arm of the lake by long-tail to the starting point of our jungle trek. On our one hour trek to the Nam Talu Cave we saw palm-sized butterflies swarming along small streams and other small animals and insects.
After swimming the last few meters we had finally reached the exit and saw daylight again. Through the jungle we returned to our boat.
Back at the raft houses sweet snacks and some fruit like melon and pineapple awaited us. We dried our wet clothes in the sun and jumped into the lake for a wonderful swim. We could also watch spectacled langurs near the raft houses. The babies of this grey monkeys are orange-colored!
It was a very good trip and we almost regretted not having set aside more time for the Khao Sok NP. An overnight trip might have been a good opportunity to even see more wildlife and maybe watch some hornbills.
When we arrived back at the resort our guide told us that one of the Rafflesia was in full bloom at present, and that this particular one had 8 petals instead of the regular 5. Since I had wanted to see one of these flowers anyway we booked a Rafflesia tour for tomorrow.

Thank you for visiting Markus, and for sharing your written and pictural memories.
