I find that the genre that has the most "aspiring" authors is the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Why is that? I too fall into this category. What drives us all to want to write in this area? Is it the thought of hitting it big? Is it the thought of creating our own worlds for others to enjoy just as much as we enjoyed Tolkien, etc.? What is it that sparks so many would be writers in this genre as opposed to say...crime novels or general fiction? If a thread like this has been posted already please forgive my ignorance.

The first to get attention was some scaffolding and some crew wearing Skyfall stunt crew jackets courtesy of The Establishing Shot. They spotted the work and took some photos of the preparations near Regents Park, where 007 was seen exercising in the Skyfall teaser trailer.
Also spotted by the Express photographers today was prep-work at what they suggest will be James Bond's apartment, based in central London. Could the Bulldog that made an appearance in the first of the SPECTRE clapperboard photos (a tradition the 24th film continues from Skyfall) be at Bond's apartment, or perhaps in his MI6 office?

Rodolfo Quilantán Arenas says that to help rectify this, and to assist a federal policy initiative signed by Presidents Obama and Peña Nieto last year, the UT System and UT-RGV will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding with leading higher education institutions in Mexico at a ceremony in Brownsville in a couple of months.
This week, Dr. Randall Charbeneau, an assistant vice chancellor at the UT System and Dr. Fredrick Jenet, director of Advanced Radio Astronomy (CARA) at the UT-Brownsville are in Mexico City to prepare the groundwork for the MOU. They are meeting with representatives from Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Instituto Politecnico Nacional, Instituto de Astrofisica, Optica y Electronica, Agencia Espacial Mexicana and CONACYT (National Council of Science and Technology) help implement the Bilateral Forum of Higher Education, Innovation and Research (FOBESII) signed by Obama and Peña Nieto in Mexico City in May 2013.
Dr. Jenet, specifically, wants to foster better relationships with higher education institutions in Mexico in readiness for the building of the SpaceX commercial rocket launching site in Brownsville.
Mexico has an extraordinary commercial and economic relationship with the United States, one of the most important in the world, but the relationship on education and research is far too low, said Quilantán Arenas, in an exclusive interview with RGV Public Radio and the Rio Grande Guardian.
Both presidents, Enrique Peña Nieto and Barack Obama agreed in May last year, in Mexico City, that if we want North America to be the most competitive and economic global region in the world we need to improve education and research collaboration.
In his interview, Quilantán Arenas spoke about the visit to Mexico City by UT System and UTB administrators and educators. They are going to sign a letter of intent to set up all the basics in order to sign, in two months, and MOU in Brownsville in the presence of the new president of UT-RGV (Guy Bailey) and maybe the chancellor of the UT System, Francisco Cigarroa, before he leaves office. Under this MOU, Mexican universities will be able to send students, professors and researchers to U.S. universities in order to help in attaining the particular challenge set by presidents Peña Nieto and Obama the having 100,000 students in an exchange program by the year 2018.
Quilantán Arenas gave an example of how pitifully low the number of student exchanges is between the U.S. and Mexico. He said South Korea, which has a population less than half the size of Mexico, sends far, far, more of its students to the U.S. than Mexico does. South Korea has a population of 50 million people and sends 70,000 students a year to the U.S. Mexico has a population of 114 million people and only sends 14,000 students a year to the U.S. The U.S. only sends about 4,000 students a year to Mexico.
The accord signed by Obama and Peña Nieto calls for 100,000 Mexican students to be studying in the U.S. and 50,000 U.S. students to be studying in a Mexico by 2018.
Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, executive director of public affairs, said the UT System will make a statement about the student exchange program once Dr. Charbeneau returns from Mexico City.
Quilantán Arenas has penned op-ed in English and Spanish about the new student, professor and researcher exchange program. Click here to read the op-ed in English and here to read the op-ed in Spanish.

I thought a little bit more about Thunderf00t's rape Video and realised something.
The fun thing is we don't tell women not to take precautions. We specifically tell them to take precautions and to be worried. We are making apps that let a set of trusted friends know your position on Google Maps and alerts them to your emergency. We are talking about night buses. I even know of projects to cut down on date rape by detection glasses (if a common date rape drug like GBH or Rohypnol is added to a drink the glass changes colour).
We are not suggesting to women to go out and be care free. We have never done that. We aren't stupid. No matter how much I think my girlfriend or daughter should be able to go out and get utterly smashed should they wish to (hypothetical daughter, real girlfriend) I would not ever recommend that they did on their own without a trusted friend who won't leave them alone. Why? Because I know we don't live in a world where women out on the lash are as safe as men.
What we are pointing out that these precautions SHOULD be unnecessary. I don't want women in India to have separate seating on buses. I loathe it when I have to travel on a packed train dangling on a running board while women get nice seats. But I know why they do get those. Because for what I want we would have to create a truly equal culture where women are not getting groped, harassed and raped. The people at fault for these things aren't women but the men who are groping, harassing and raping.
Thunderfoot simply thinks when we tell "boys" not to rape we are removing all education about safety and common sense from girls. We can teach them to take precautions, what we cannot do is expect these set of frankly ludicrous precautions to be fail proof or expect women to be perfect in their utilisation. We cannot fault a woman for getting drunk in a strange place. Sometimes it happens. Compliance to these rules would ensure women live behind a sort of Burkha and would only work in an ideal world.
And it boils down to this.
You were on your own? How can you stop rape like that! Who would help you?
You were with another woman? What can a woman do to stop a strong man?
You were with another man? Slut.
It's a no win scenario (in India at least, the western attitudes are changing after all).
We can do so much better than what we have done so far.
And I repeat. Just because we teach men responsibility and consent doesn't mean women are going to be roaming around carefree. They still have to worry.

Constable used God in nature, creativity, and the peaceful aspects of nature in this work.

Home-Based Test Can Detect Cervical Cancer Virus: Study
The HPV self-test is good alternative to Pap smears for women in poor regions of the world, expert says
THURSDAY, Nov. 3 (HealthDay News) -- Home-based tests using self-collected vaginal samples could serve as an alternative to the traditional Pap smear tests designed to detect the virus that causes cervical cancer, new study findings show.
While laboratories have confirmed the accuracy of vaginal tests for human papillomavirus (HPV), it's been unclear if they would be as effective as medical office-based Pap smears when women used them at home.
Poor women around the world are especially unlikely to get Pap smears, which require a visit to a medical office, according to the authors of the new study, published online Nov. 2 in The Lancet.
In the study, researchers randomly assigned poor Mexican women aged 25 to 65 to get either a traditional Pap smear or take the vaginal HPV test at home. More than 20,000 women took part in the study.
The HPV test detected four times as many cases of cancer as the Pap smear -- a rate of 30 per 10,000 women versus seven per 10,000, the investigators found. However, the HPV test had a much higher rate of false positives -- tests that inaccurately detected cancer.
Despite the higher false-positive rate, the study authors noted, the home-based tests may be preferable to Pap smears in poor regions because of the challenges of getting Pap smears in these areas.
Commenting on the study, Dr. Alan G. Waxman, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of New Mexico, pointed out that in the United States, about 50 percent of the 12,000 women who are diagnosed with cervical cancer each year have never had a Pap smear.
Many of the women who develop the disease are minorities, he said, "and a proportion are also immigrant women who may come from a country where regular screening is not part of the culture."
Waxman said home-based tests are "the way to go" in poor countries. As for costs, he said the tests wouldn't require office visits.
And while Waxman acknowledged that the home-based tests produce many false-positive results, he added that they are also more sensitive to signs of cancer than Pap smears.
So why not replace Pap smears with HPV tests in the United States? "In the United States, we don't do just one test. Women have multiple Pap tests," Waxman said. Cervical cancer "is a slow-growing process, so you make up for that difference by doing multiple tests over time."
The Lancet study was led by Eduardo Lazcano-Ponce of the Centre of Investigation in Population Health at the National Institute of Public Health in Morelos, Mexico, and Attila Lorincz of the Centre for Cancer Prevention at Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Barts and the London School of Medicine, Queen Mary University of London.

An excerpt from The Bunny Years in which Castle actress and former Playboy Bunny Susan Sullivan recounts her experience working in the New York Playboy Club. The Bunny Years, by Kathryn Leigh Scott, is available from Simon & Schuster.
It was summertime, and I was working in Manhattan as a showroom model for a month or so to earn money for my junior year at Hofstra University. It was then that I saw a huge, full-page ad in the New York Times announcing jobs as Bunnies in the Playboy Club. I never seriously thought I would be hired, but decided I would at least go and apply for the job. I wanted to see the club, and I figured this would be the only way I ever would.
It was really an adventure. I went on my lunch hour. I borrowed a dress from the line, a very clingy, simple, crepe sheath dress. And I wore all of this padding because, to me, the image of Playboy Bunnies was bosoms. So I went in there with my large padded breasts for an interview.
"You know, I'm going to be quite honest with you,†I said to a man in charge of the interviews. "I don't think this is going to work out because actually I'm going back to school in September.â€
"Oh, that's fine,†he said. "You can work on the weekends.â€
Then I said, "Well, I have a scholarship I have to honor. On the weekends, if I'm in a play, I'll have to be in the play.â€
But he said, "That's not a problem. We're very flexible, very accommodating.â€
There was another reason I knew it was never going to work but I certainly didn't want to say to him, "Look, I have no bosom!â€
He said, "Just go down to the Bunny mother and try on a costume.â€
I said, "Okay.†I went to the Bunny Mother and told her, "Listen, there's not much point in my doing this because actually I have no bosom.â€
She said, "We pad everybody. Nobody has much of a bosom. It's no big deal.â€
So I thought, "Well, wait until she sees me!â€
I put on this costume and, sure enough, I learned about Bunny padding. In my case, the costume pushed me up from my thighs and pushed me in from . . . well, everywhere. And by the time I was through, I ended up with bosoms.
But everything's relative, I guess. Once, there were these two guys sitting at my station, and one of them had just come out of a seminary maybe a few months short of becoming a priest. He very shyly said to me, "You know, Bunny Sue, I really admire you because all these girls are walking around here showing everything they've got and you. . . Well, Bunny Sue, you are subtle.'â€
I just said, "thank you.â€
I never thought that the Bunny costume was such a terribly bizarre outfit. I'm an actress and I liked the idea of being in a costume and not being myself. I even altered my name — I became Bunny Suzanne.
Apparently, I did feel a little uncomfortable about the whole idea behind being a Bunny, though. It would manifest itself in that I would always try to tell people that I was in college. If I could slip it in, I would. I would go up to table and say things like, "Forthwith, my Lord, here is your gin and tonic. I'm working on a Shakespearean play in school and I'm just practicing.†I felt the need to let them know that I was a college student and this was not my life. So a part of me clearly felt uncomfortable about being thought of as somebody who would be doing this work as a profession.
The fact that I was a Bunny was soon known on campus and that became a big thing. I was already well-established at Hofstra as an actress because I was in all of the plays. Then a big picture of me in my Bunny outfit appeared in the school newspaper. I had been dating a very popular guy and we had broken up. But I remember him seeing the picture of me as a Bunny and saying, "Oh, my God, what's going on here!â€
And that pleased me. I was in school, doing something of significance, yet I was also capable of doing this other thing on the side. I was "pretty enough†to do it. It added a bit of an edge. I never thought of myself as being terribly pretty, so getting hired to be a Bunny served as confirmation that I was a "sexy†female.
In 1964, the Beatles came to New York and stopped in at the Playboy Club. I don't know how I got to be the their Bunny, but I found myself serving Scotch and Coke to the Beatles. It was a table of 12 people and there was a disc jockey in their party. They were charming and very funny. Of course, I knew their songs and knew all about them, but what made it really nice is that, for them, I was somebody special.
Many of the gals working at the Club were not necessarily beautiful. They were not the prettiest and didn't have the best bodies, but they were bright. That quality seemed to be of greater importance to the Club when they hired Bunnies. Initially a lot of the women they selected were college students. I remember meeting a lot of European girls there, and a good many very highly motivated women.
When the Women's Movement came around and one thought about these things, I had to admit that I personally had never felt subjugated as a woman. It wasn't in the nature of the work I did as an actress. It's a profession where they need women. I was sort of surprised when all that consciousness-raising started to happen some years later, and then I began to question that I had once walked around in that really provocative outfit as a lure to bring men into the Club. "Was I being used and abused and tattooed on the Camino Real?†Hmmmm. Then I thought, "Gosh, no, that wasn't really the way it was.â€
I never felt ashamed of being a Bunny. I thought, I'm articulate, intelligent, a professional actress — here's something counter to my normal image and it's amusing. The experience of working as a Playboy Bunny provided good material later when I was a guest on Johnny Carson's The Tonight Show.
I worked at the Club a little more than a year. Then I graduated from Hofstra University in 1964 and went to the Cleveland Playhouse.
At the time I worked at the Club, being a Bunny was not the main thrust of what was going on in my life. But now, when I look back at it, I'm glad I had the experience, because it was just that — an experience. A little round section of time. So much of your life goes by with a sameness, but the experience of being a Bunny has a sharp, electric blue kind of color. The same color as my costume.
The two-time Emmy nominee has starred in numerous series, including Falcon Crest, Dharma and Greg and most recently, Castle.

Referendum on Obama (NY-20) is a resounding hit for Pres

Most of the money spent in the race by Tedisco has been attack ads. Thing is, most of the attacks are truly groundless. Tedisco keeps pounding on Murphy giving bonuses to top execs at Synacor while the company lost money. Well, the executives did exactly what you would want them to do – they DOUBLED sales in one year and are doing fantastic right now. Now, these execs weren't dealing with mortgage derivative swaps and destroying the company. They were growing a company which has a capilization now of over $100 million with 189 employees. It's the kind of business you put on you resume. You put it on your resume that you compensated those most responsible for the success of the company. The mortgage malcontents at AIG aren't growing their company. Those deals aren't going to turn the company around in a couple years. So, Tedisco is harping on an incredible success story of his adversary – that must be just about as bad as it gets.
The news keeps saying the economy will get worse before it gets better. I think it's the same for the State and Federal GOP. They just don't seem to get it.
Oh, I forgot. Tedisco's 'internal poll' (I believe he used McCain's pollsters who predicted he would win on election eve) say Tedisco is still leading. He forgot to mention the poll consisted of the people working in his campaign headquarters.

Sometimes I sits and thinks, sometimes I just thinks
Tony Juniper, director of Friends of the Earth, flew to Malaysia, South Africa, and Amsterdam on business and took his family on holiday to Slovakia in the past year. This weekend he is on a business trip to Nigeria. His trips are estimated to have generated at least eight tons of CO2.
"This is the dilemma faced by all international organisations, including green ones," said Juniper. "We do all we can to cut travel but we need to do some flying to make decisions." (The Times)
There was poor old Newton shut up on his farm in Lincolnshire, unable to travel because of the plague, so he sat down under an apple tree and did some thinking; and came up with a spiffing idea or two. Einstein could only manage a walk in the park when he was holding down a full time job but he managed to scribble down some stuff which exercises the old grey matter. Maybe if the Greens mentioned in the article stopped flying round the world preaching we should all stay at home they might have time to actually do some thinking....

2012 Baseball Trip-Game 9: Fire up Chips!!!
Central Michigan Chippewas vs. Western Michigan Broncos
Theunissen Stadium-Mt. Pleasant, MI: Ahh…back in our home state!!! It was a long drive back, and we were dog tired, but not tired enough to miss a baseball game. On our way back home, we stopped in at my dads' alma mater, Central Michigan, to see them take on their arch-rivals, the Western Michigan Broncos. We've only been to a hand-full of college ballparks, but Central's Theunissen Stadium is the best one we've been at, and probably one of the nicer college stadiums in Michigan. This was CMU's final regular season game, so plenty of students and family in attendance to cheer on the home team. Before the game, some of the former baseball alumni and coaches were honored, including Coach Theunissen, who the stadium was named after. He threw out the first pitch to his grandson Nate Theunissen, who is now the Chippewas all-time hits leader. The game itself was a good one, with the Chips edging the Broncos 3-2. It was a hot day that drained us a bit, but the game went by pretty quick. I was excited, though, because I was about to be reunited with three most important people in my life… Final: CMU 3, WMU 2.
2012 Baseball Trip-Game 7: What a load of Bull
University at Buffalo Bulls vs. Bowling Green State Falcons
Amherst Audubon Field-Amherst, NY: Trying to squeeze as much baseball into our trip as possible, we decided to take in some college baseball at the University at Buffalo. We had some extra time before the Buffalo Bisons game, and I personally enjoy the college game. UB has a nice campus, and we explored a bit and checked things out at their book store/gift shop. I was actually disappointed with Amherst Audubon Field, which looks a lot more like a high school field than one used for Division I baseball. I know baseball isn't a big draw up north, and other sports like football and basketball bring in the revenue, but you would think they'd put something into a decent baseball stadium. We still had a fun time, and there were some scouts there looking for the 'diamond in the rough' type player, and they're always fun to talk to. The weather was beautiful also, and to some good baseball free of charge is simply a plus. Other than us and the scouts, the rest of the crowd was primarily just friends and family of the players. It's still a high level of baseball and well worth our time. Final: Buffalo 3, Bowling Green 6.
Pierce Arrow Museum
Buffalo, NY: Other than baseball, my other love is cars. I'm a guy, and guys just like classic cars. This is actually the third car museum we visited on this trip, and it's located just a few blocks away from Coca-Cola Field in Buffalo. After the game at UB, we decided to check out some automotive mastery. The Pierce Arrow cars are really beautiful, and the museum had some other memorabilia like old gas pumps and signs. They're in the process of moving into a bigger facility, but it was a great way to waste some time until the next ballgame. The best car museum we went to on this trip was in Norwich, NY, which is just north of Binghamton. When I get a chance, I might post some pics from that one with one of my B-Mets reviews.
An enjoyable Off-Season
It's always hard to watch baseball come to an end in the fall, but at the same time it makes you appreciate it when it comes back the next spring. As much as we miss baseball during the winter, we don't just sit around and sulk. Winters up here can get dull and depressing, so we really have to keep busy to beat the winter blues and make it through until the baseball fun begins. As usual, we take in a lot of hockey games up here. We live in the original 'Hockeytown U.S.A.', so between our Lake Superior State Lakers, junior and high school hockey, we spend a lot of time at the rink. We also do a fair share of ice skating ourselves, too. The kids are involved in their own activities throughout the school year as well. Lily participated in the youth bowling league, while Trevor played flag-football and wrestling. A special treat this winter, too, was that we were able to catch a Harlem Globetrotters game. I took Trevor and Lily a few years ago, but this was Brian's first time seeing them and he had a great time. We were also able to see the Stanley Cup at a Detroit Red Wings Alumni game which was a thrill for the kids. It wasn't just sports that held our interest, as we saw some rock concerts, too. I took the two older kids up into Canada to see Avril Lavigne (my hearts pants…), and saw legendary rock bands like Slaughter and Stryper come to town. We also spent some time playing outside, and over at the tubing hill blazing down the icy slopes. Do you think that scared Brian at all…No. Anyway, I might not win father of the year..I've been known to give the kids NyQuil out of a shot glass, and help them with their math by teaching them Blackjack, but we do have a lot of fun together. Plus, only a single dad can get away with a full size hockey net in the living room, and foosball table instead of a dinner table!
Winter Fun
Baseball Trip for 2012 Finalized
Working for the government, we have to pick our vacation almost a year in advance, which can cause problems in making plans, and planning trips. It used to be we had to pick our vacation days by January or December, which wasn't bad because most Minor League ball clubs had their schedules posted by that time. Now we have to have them submitted by October, and all I can really do is pick a couple of weeks in May, and hope for the best.
This year the Baseball Gods smiled on me a bit, as I was able to put together a nice little trip in my allotted time, featuring Minor League Baseball, NCAA Baseball, and even a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame. There is a lot of fun and excitement for me when the 2012 schedules come out, and I can start writing games down on the calendar and see how everything will fit into place. It's not always easy, as I like to pack as much baseball into one week as possible, but it is so much fun, and really gives me something to look forward to over the long winter months. Starting the first of the year, I can start making reservations, ordering tickets, and doing some research on the best sports bars in the areas we'll be at. Here's a little rundown of our plans for next May, and if the world is ending in 2012…then at least I die seeing the HOF…
The first leg of our trip takes us to Syracuse, New York, to see the Chiefs host the Rochester Red Wings in International League action (Triple-A). Our first game is a Sunday matinée at 2:00 p.m., then after a long drive it's early to bed, as the Chiefs host the Red Wings again on Monday afternoon, with a 12:00 start time. I absolutely love doubling back to be at the ballpark in the morning when the grass is still wet with dew, and it brings so much more ambiance to the experience. No time to rest on Monday, though, as we travel to Rochester after the Chiefs game to watch the Scranton/WB Yankees host the Durham Bulls (Int. League/Triple-A). Wait..what? Yes, due to the S/WB Yanks renovating their stadium, they will be playing some home games in Rochester while the Red Wings are on the road, so we pick up an extra game due to that…thanks Yanks! I've always wanted to see the Durham Bulls play, too, and will probably be part of their cheering section. Ok, take a second to catch your breath…
The next stop on our trip is in fabled Cooperstown, New York, home to the one and only National Baseball Hall of Fame. This will be my first time here, and probably not be able to grasp how amazing it will be until I've actually seen it myself. I've been to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, which is breathtaking in itself, but no sport has the history that baseball does. No sport has had an impact on our country's history the way baseball has, and right now I can't even comprehend all the things that I will be seeing while there. I'm setting aside a full day and a half to take it all in, and maybe check out Doubleday Field and see if anything is going on there. All I can say is that I'm sure I'll have lots of pictures to share! After the second day in Cooperstown, we travel south to see the Binghamton Mets host the Trenton Thunder in Eastern League action (Double-A). I've heard nothing but good things about the ballpark in Binghamton, and really enjoyed all of our Eastern League games last year, so I'm looking forward to this one. Hold on, though, 'cause we're not done yet…
The next leg on our trip takes us back west, as we stop in Rochester once again, this time seeing the real home team Red Wings host the Louisville Bats. We saw the Bats a few years ago while in Louisville, so it will be nice to see them in action again, also. After a good night rest in Rochester, we'll keep heading west to Buffalo, New York, for a pair of games. Our first stop will be the University at Buffalo where the Bulls host the Bowling Green State Falcons of the Mid-American Conference (NCAA). This game starts at 1:00 p.m., and gives us a chance to enjoy the campus before heading downtown for the night game. Keeping with the International League, we'll be watching the Buffalo Bisons host the Gwinnett Braves in our final game in the state of New York. I actually saw the Bisons play a couple of time back in the 90's when I was out that way working security for the World University Games and that was my first taste of the Minor Leagues. After the Bisons game we head back to Michigan…but why stop there?
After getting back on our Great Lake State, you'd think we'd just want to get home and get some rest, right? Wrong! Plenty of time to rest later, and while we're heading back, we go right by Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, and lucky for us the Central Michigan Chippewas will be hosting their biggest rival, the Western Michigan Broncos at 2:00 p.m. in more MAC action (NCAA). After that game, we'll hit a cross-roads. The Whitecaps will be playing that night, and we could jot down to Grand Rapids to see them play or call it a day, or trip, or whatever, and head home. In all honesty, we'll be making that a game-time decision. If my dad's feeling up to it, I'll be more than happy to take in one last game. The only problem is, I usually need a vacation to rest up after all of this…but that's what I call a good problem.
By the time this trip comes around, I'm hoping to join this century and be able to make Twitter updates from my phone or something, and if anyone is in the area for any of these games, let me know and I'll be happy to have a ticket waiting for you at the gate. I'll also be bringing back the 'Logo of the Month', featuing each of the home teams until the trip, so keep an eye out for those.
Lakers Close Season at Home
The Lady Lakers were able to play through the crazy U.P. weather to close out the season at home. They hosted Northwood Thursday and Friday, and played a make-up game against Saginaw Valley State on Sunday. The Lakers lost 11-9 on Thursday in game one, but the second game was postponed due to sleet. Friday the girls played a triple-header against Northwood, dropping all three games 9-2, 4-0, 9-3. This was the best day weather wise, though, so nice to be able to see a few games in one day. The Lakers last game of the season was Sunday, losing to SVSU by the score of 14-4 in a make-up for a rain out on April 20. Seniors Ronlea Peterson (SS) and Nicole Cartensen (OF) played their last college game for the Lakers, and were honored after Fridays games. These girls work very hard every game, and under first year head coach Lori Shimasaki only good things will come to this program in the coming seasons. The team will be hosting some softball camps next month, and Lily will definatley be attending a few of those. Brian spent most of the game playing in the mud puddles. Such is life with a three year old.

Lakers Sweep Rare Homestand
The Lake Superior State Laker girls softball team was able to beat the nasty weather on Friday and sweep Ohio Dominican. They won the first game 9-8 in extra innings and pounded their oponents 18-8 in game two. The Laker double-headers on Saturday and Sunday were rained and snowed out, so I guess we were lucky to see at least a couple of games. Lily knows many of the girls from their softball camps, so she was able to get plenty of autographs and they took the kids into the dugout. It's also fun to talk with the parents and get their take on things. A lot of positive comments on new head coach Lori Shimasaki and how she's building a solid softball culture at Lake Superior. The team is scheduled to play some more games, so hoping the weather hold up for them.

Slap-Stick Softball
This past weekend was the Lake Superior State Laker softball team's annual 'Take me out to the Ballgame' dinner to raise money for their trip to Florida to kick off the 2011 season. This has become a tradition for us over the last few years, and the kids have a fun time. This years dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers was actually on campus this year, which is a change brought on by new head coach Lori Shimasaki. Door prizes, raffles, and silent auctions also took place to help the team raise money needed for the long trip. Lily's favoite new thing this year was her opportunity to throw a pie in the face of her favorite player. Her aim was true, and the girls got nice and messy. The boys were too busy eating to really notice any of this.
Good luck to the Lakers this season, and we'll try to make it what few home games they have if the weather holds up.

First College Game at Comerica Park to feature CMU/MSU Rivalry
The Central Michigan Chippewas and the Michigan State Spartans are set to play the first college baseball game at the Detroit Tigers's Comerica Park. The game marks their 100th yr of the in-state rivalry, as the two schools started playing each other on 1911. The Chippewas will be considered the home team, and lead the all-time series with the Spartans 62-46. CMU is the defending Mid-American Conference champions going 36-22 in 2010. State's record was 34-19 last season. The game is set to take place on April 20, there is expected to be a press conference at Comerica this week releasing more details on the event.
This would be a fun game to go to, but I really have no desire to go to Detroit if I don't have to. It would be nice if they played a double-header, so fans, students, and alumni making the trip would really get their money's worth. However, the game being on a weeknight doesn't give much of a chance for the fans to travel. I hope despite that fact this event goes over well, and it should be a great experience for both teams.

Learning from the Lakers
The Lake Superior State women's softball team has been busy in the community teaching young players about the game. They hosted weekly hitting and pitching clinics in the weeks before Thanksgiving, and just completed a weekend camp which incorporated all aspects of the game. I was lucky enough to get my daughter to most of the clinics and the camp, in fact, I recieved a call from first year head coach Lori Shimasaki inviting her to join the clinics. She's become a favorite among the college girls, even hanging out with them for awhile at the local hockey games. She's having a lot of fun and this will hopefully inspire her to keep playing. She's been playing baseball since she was 5, but next summer will be her first shot at softball if she decides to play. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, because she's a good player and this could open up some doors for her in the future. Sorry about the low quality of the pics, but they were taken with my phone. The (ex)wife got the camera in the settlement.

Rain Batters Battle Creek
Battle Creek Bombers vs. Waterloo Bucks: Rained out. I guess I can't complain too much, as I've been pretty lucky over the years, but when you only see a handfull of games a season, one rain out is disasterous. I can't say enough about the Bombers oganization, though, as they gave us a full refund on our birthday package, yet still gave me my birthday cake and signed baseball by the team. I thought they might play it when we saw some of the players warming up, but the field ended up being too flooded. We wanted to re-schedule, but we just don't know when we'll be down there again. The kids were bummed, but we got to spend time together and visit some family. The Baseball Gods would make it up to us the next night, though…

By far the most ornate logo up to this point, FFX depicts heroine Yuna fulfilling her destined duties to cast wayward spirits into the Farplane, essentially the FFX afterlife. The process is discussed quite a bit, adorns the back of the game's packaging and is the focus of the one of the game's most famous cutscenes. In fact, the logo mirrors that scene quite closely, as Yuna is rising on a pillar of water just as she does in that memorable video.
But why does Yuna need to send them away at all? Why don't people just… die? Black Mage Lulu explains:
The first direct sequel in the Final Fantasy series, X-2 (that's ten two, not X two) shows the three starring ladies going all Charlie's Angels on the logo. Yuna's diving along the bottom, Rikku's hanging on the left and newcomer Paine stands tall with her sword high in the air. Together they go around the world looking for new dresses and clues that'll help them find Yuna's boyfriend. I'm simplifying, but yeah, that's really what happens.
A big ol' collection of soldiers, representing the dozens of people who still play Final Fantasy XI. OK, fine – the front five are the five playable races in the game (Hume, Tarutaru, Galka, Mithra and Elvaan), while the horde of people in the background are all the MMO slaves who haven't moved on to WoW or Lord of the Rings Online.
Square and artist Amano had the balls to make a vertical logo for FFXII, perhaps solely to accurately convey the commanding presence of Judge Gabranth. His imposing stature makes him one of the main villains of the game, though he's not exactly the crux of the game's events. He does end up coming around near the end, only after repeated defeats.
Judges were a major aspect of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, which like FFXII takes place in the world of Ivalice. The Judges would oversee most of your battles and set rules that had to be obeyed… or else. If you used arrows during a battle that a Judge declared "No arrows," oh man, you're in for it. Not quite the same as in FFXII, but they definitely look the part.
Two vertical logos! A DS-only sequel, Revenant Wings also reached for the sky with this crescent-shaped visage of the airship Galbana, which Vaan and Panelo use to explore the floating continent Lemures. The Galbana was created long ago by Feolthanos, who also threw up a barrier around Lemures to keep his people safe and separated from the rest of Ivalice. Now that the barrier is gone, he plans on… destroying the world. Of course he does.
This is actually a pretty huge spoiler, so if you're about to finish the game stop reading after this sentence. So, that huge mess of stuff happening up there, all around what looks like a globe? That's Vanille and Fang up top, just as they transform into Ragnarok, the beast that was dreaded throughout the entire game as the one who could bring Cocoon crashing down onto the larger world of Gran Pulse.
It's tough to summarize it beyond that without diving into the history of the fal'Cie, I'Cie and all that nonsense. But the gist could go like this – Vanille and Fang were chosen by demigods 500 years ago to destroy Cocoon, the world floating high above Gran Pulse. They only half-succeeded, and were put into stasis by the demigods to finish the job later. Awakened during the events of FFXIII, Vanille and Fang have to choose between finally destroying Cocoon or being turned into mindless demons for eternity as punishment for failing again.
After the climactic final battle, Cocoon begins to slip out of the sky, dooming the millions inside to an instant death. Fang and Vanille merge as Ragnarok, dive into the planet to send up a pillar of earth, lava and rock that envelops Cocoon. And now that their centuries-old task of bringing down Cocoon is complete, they transform into crystals, which spreads all around them and solidifies their impromptu tower of dirt and rock into a permanent brace, holding Cocoon miles off the ground. Deep inside the crystal formation, Fang and Vanille are seen frozen into the rough shape of the game's logo, which also shows Cocoon and the pillar of crystal that holds it aloft.
Hm, that's not really a gist at all, is it? And still barely scratches the surface of what's really going on. Far less important fact: this is the first time the logo has an outline color that matches the art. Notice how all the others are outlined in white – not this time!
Bringing up the rear is FFXIV, Square's return to the MMO realm last seen in FFXI. It's set to release this fall. The logo shows, by my count, 14 people flying into battle. Because it's Final Fantasy 14. Really wish they'd shown something of FFXV, so this article could end with something a bit cooler. Oh, guess there's this:
Dissidia is all about the forces of good and evil pulling champions from across time to do battle. Good here is Cosmos, who makes her first appearance in Dissidia. Opposite her is Chaos, the main villain of the very first Final Fantasy, who has turned reality upside down with his crystal-nabbing, time-altering ways.
And with that callback to the first game, that's as good a time as any to bow out. We could go into Tactics, Crystal Chronicles and all the other spin-off stuff, but c'mon, three pages of logos is surely enough for today. Plus we gotta go record TalkRadar 109!

Simmons School of Management Finds Corporate Social Responsibility is Strong Incentive to Female Employees
BOSTON (April 28, 2010) — Female employees are more likely to be motivated and remain at companies they perceive contribute to society. But a large number of women employees say they often don't know about their organizations' corporate social responsibility activities (CSR), and therefore, do not participate, according to a study released today by the Simmons School of Management in Boston.
These are some of the key findings of a survey of more than 380 women employees, managers, and executives polled during Simmons School of Management Leadership Conference in 2009. The Simmons School of Management and the Hewlett-Packard Company, a lead conference sponsor, conducted the survey.
According to survey results, female employees who perceived their organizations as being socially responsible, reported higher job satisfaction, a lower intention of quitting, and a greater likelihood to advocate on behalf of the company in non-work settings. However, because the research also revealed that women workers often are not aware of and engaged in CSR activities — broadly defined as discretionary business practices or contributions of corporate resources to improve societal welfare — organizations often miss out on opportunities to positively shape female employees' views of their companies.
(To read the complete article, click "Using Corporate Social Responsibility to Motivate and Retain Female Employees.")
"With the recent uptick in the number of women in the labor force because of the diminished economy and the increasing use of CSR as a strategic business focus, recognizing the impact of CSR is vital to the long-term success of businesses," said lead author of the study Shuili Du, a professor of the Simmons School of Management. "The study results reinforce the notion that it's in the best interest of organizations to understand and harness the power of corporate social responsibility — particularly during recent challenging economic times."
According to those surveyed about their career needs, and knowledge and perceptions of CSR, socially conscious initiatives seem to have a considerable impact on their attitude toward their organization.
- When asked about their career needs, more than 75% of respondents reported that "making a positive impact on society" and "expressing and acting in line with my values" are important.
- When asked about the relevance of CSR in their workplace, respondents reported that "when CSR is an important part of an organization's business strategy, it contributes to the fulfillment of 'individualistic career needs, such as 'opportunities to develop one's professional skills/expertise.'"
- When asked if they were aware of their organizations' CSR opportunities, only 45% of respondents reported that they know about their companies' social initiatives.
- When asked if they participated in their organizations' CSR activities, only 35% of respondents reported that they have participated in their companies' social initiatives.
The survey authors recommend that organizations increase internal communications about CSR activities, including the rationale behind the activities, the company resources allotted for them, and the success of CSR programs, to help bring about more engagement in such activities. They also suggest companies provide specific opportunities for involvement that do not take away from female employees' ability to fulfill their regular responsibilities.
The study authors include Du of the Simmons School of Management, C.B. Bhattacharya of the European School of Management and Technology and Boston University, and Sankar Sen of Baruch College.

3-D TV Reviews
3-D has been the biggest thing to happen to movies since the introduction of color. Now you and your family can enjoy the 3-D experience at home with 3-D-ready TV sets that can operate in both 3-D mode with active shutter glasses as well as normal 2-D mode. To help you with the task of determining which television has the best 3-D and picture quality, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) tested 3-D TVs with plasma, LCD, and rear-projection screens. Here, the results of the test
- During our testing, the LG received near-perfect scores for high definition, standard definition and 3-D for both dark and bright scenes, with scores of 4.5 out of 5 in nearly all categories.
- The LG required little adjustment of brightness (a 14 percent increase) and no adjustment of contrast or color when placed in ISF mode. This mode provided the most accurate picture settings prior to our calibrations and was developed with the assistance of the Imaging Science Foundation, which establishes standards and methodologies for the video and home theater industry.
- There was not much change in picture quality when viewing at different angles.
- Sound clarity and level were both good.
- Ranked easiest television to use, based on our ease of use testing.
- Effortless to setup the 3-D; all you need to do it put on the glasses and hit a single button on the remote to toggle between 3-D and 2-D.
- Consumers rated it very highly for 3-D quality.
- Lab tests rated the 3-D quality as excellent.
- The layout and the graphics of the menus are very appealing and easy to use.
- The LG glasses are able to charge via USB, which means no need to worry about replacing dead batteries in your 3D glasses.
- Expensive

Nice, Not Life Chaning

About Me Backpacker, Frequent Traveler
Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter™ Cube Set:
I bought these for packing clothes for extended travel, and I don't really like them for that. I can pack my clothes faster and more compactly straight into their section of my suitcase. Then I don't have to dig through the bags to get at things. However, I really like them for packing everything else I travel with. There is a lot less loose stuff tucked into the corners last second. They've held up well to being packed and unpacked every week for months now. I also like to bring a couple for backpacking/hiking trips. They help maintain layers in my pack without adding too much weight.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A majestic trio to pack your treasures!
By Preston the Adventurer
from Arcata, Ca
About Me Handsome, Practical, Standing Right Behind You
Best used for Adventurers who need to condense their packs and save weight so you can hold more treasure.With this set I am able to roll and pack 3 pants, 3 shirts, 1 flannel, 1 tanktop, 1 pair gym shorts, 1 pair swimming shorts, 3 pairs of crime fighters and 4 socks. My Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Cube Set has fought valiantly in the face of danger and has stood the test of time and space. If another adventurer was looking for a worthy ally I would recommend this without second thought.

About Me Bargain Hunter, Practical
It is great for light-weight organization of travel items. I have NO complaints at all - none about the product, Eagle Creek, or delivery. All exceeded expectations.
Eagle Creek keeps me off Zoloft!
By Bowin
from MA
Love these packing cubes! Packing can be stressful - it is synonymous with headache! Choosing what to pack; making sure all is washed, ironed, and ready to pack; planning mix and match, weather-appropriate outfits; eliminating unnecessary items; even closing the suitcase, can leave me wanting excessive amounts of Zoloft! Eagle Creek Pack-It Specter Cubes makes packing stress free and fun! Thanks Eagle Creek!
Sleek, Great Capacity, Poor Stitching.
By sogoba
from Los Angeles
About Me Frequent Traveler, Practical, Stylish
I was pleased with the look of these cubes and the fabric does have a durable feel to it while remaining ultra lightweight. I was also able to get 5 shirts and two pairs of jeans in the largest of the three cubes; great!That said, when I took them out of the box, before even using them, the stitching was already coming undone. Many loose threads and seams pulling apart before i'd even taken a trip. disappointing.

Organization is key to packing and this fills the bill perfectly.
Makes traveling easier
By Sue
from MKE, Wisconsin
Used these on a weeklong trip to South America. Found them to be especially helpful given that we stayed at a different hotel every night. I was able to locate in my bag what I needed easily and able to fit everything that I needed into one backpack! Great for organization.
Great product!
By Trip
from Nevada
About Me Practical, Stylish
I ordered this product for myself after finding it on a blog about great travel products. The plan was to use them on a two week tour of Italy. On vacation with me was my mom and aunt. With the multiple hotels and unpacking, repacking... these were great! I was organized and did not deal with the hassle associated with packing and repacking.I used one of the cubes in my carry-on for the emergency clothing should my bag get lost on teh journey.My mom and my aunt loved them... so oncce we got back I order a set for each of them and ordered the "starter pack" for me.Just got back from a weekend trip and couldn't be happier using them!
First time w/ cubes--love them!
By Kansas Gal
from Wichita, KS
About Me Don't Like To Waste Money, Practical
My husband travels all the time and loved that he could pack small things in a cube and transfer them to a drawer so easily. We both liked that everything has a place, instead of flopping around the suitcase. We're ordering more.

Light and Amazing
By Stress free mom
from Hortonville, WI
I was skeptical of these cubes since they weigh practically nothing, but who was I impressed with how well I could stuff these cubes with socks, underclothes, t-shirts, swimsuits and they held up beautifully. Not only that they made my packing experience more organized before, during and after my trip. These are must have for anyone who tends to over pack, but wants to stay organized.The Pack-it

Press Release: April 27, 2011
(SALEM, Ore.) — As part of his continuing effort to revitalize Oregon's economy and create jobs throughout the state, Governor Kitzhaber today announced the appointment of Annette Liebe as Regional Solutions Coordinator for Central Oregon.
Ms. Liebe will coordinate the Central Oregon Regional Solutions Center and be responsible for seizing job creation opportunities and solving problems that stand in the way of economic development in Central Oregon. She has worked for the state for over 17 years and has experience collaborating with community leaders and local officials to solve problems in all parts of the state.
Ms. Liebe has a law degree from the University of Oregon and has worked for the Department of Environmental Quality where she managed the air quality planning and the surface water management sections. She has successfully led several permit streamlining initiatives, which gives her experience that will serve Central Oregon well.
Regional Solutions Centers will co-locate state agency staff to complete community-based projects that address regional and community priorities identified by local public, private, and civic leaders in each region. The Central Oregon Solutions Center will be located at a Cascades Campus office in Bend, Oregon.
"Annette Liebe's experience and problem solving skills will serve the Governor well in helping get Oregonians back to work," says Greg Wolf, the Governor's Intergovernmental and Regional Solutions Director.
Additional Regional Solution Centers will be located in the Willamette Valley, eastern and southern Oregon and the Oregon coast.

The Emir of Qatar has welcomed representives of the Syrian National Coalition to the Arab League summit in Doha, and invited them to take the seats of the Assad government.
"Delegitimising Assad's regime does not necessarily mean legitimising the opposition. I mean the Assad regime is actually illegitimate itself, almost all the Arabic Republics have actually become regimes by the means of military coups, not by democratic means. Now the question is, what legitimacy the opposition has; have they actually come through elections? The answer is no, so we have to wait and see, and I think that the opposition has to be extremely careful not to use such an arrogant language that the Assad regime has been using."
- Adel Darwish, a Middle East affairs analyst
Damascus reacted furiously to the decision, saying the Arab League had handed Syria's stolen seat to "bandits and thugs".
Syria's membership of the Arab League was suspended in 2011 as punishment for its brutal crackdown on the opposition.
Qatar's leader, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, opened the summit by urging the UN Security Council to stop the killing in Syria's two-year-old conflict, and hold those responsible to account before international courts.
He also gave a bleak assessment of the harsh reality in Syria:
"Tragic and grave developments in Syria over the past two years have taken a radical turn where indescribable crimes have been committed. Keeping silent about these crimes is a crime in itself. Our stance has been clear."
In the past, the Arab League has been criticised for not doing enough to address the Palestinian issue, Lebanon's civil war and the invasion of Iraq.
More recently, critics have turned on the Arab League's response to the so-called Arab Spring. By its detractors it has been often described as an ineffective "talking shop".
The group sought controversial UN intervention in Libya. And on Syria, Arab League efforts to stem the violence have so far been seen as a universal failure. A UN observer mission established in April last year was suspended less than four months later.
So how significant is the official Arab endorsement? And will it prompt any wider international action to help end two years of bloodshed?
To discuss this, Inside Story, with presenter Jane Dutton, is joined by guests: Yaser Tabbara, the spokesman for the Syrian National Coalition; Adel Darwish, a historian and political editor of Middle East Magazine; and Michael Stephens, a researcher at the Royal United Services Institute in Qatar - a British defence and security think-tank.
"The more they [the international community] empower us to defend the Syrian people and to depose this brutal dictator, the closer we get to a situation where we do not have any more killing, indiscriminate and brutal attacks by airforce on densely populated areas. I think everybody understands that the international community understands that he [Assad] has lost legitimacy. We have an interim government that has been elected by the coalition, that has immediately engaged in visiting the inside of Syria, that has immediately engaged with the Syrian population on the ground .... We are taking every serious measure in the direction of taking on the affairs of the country. And this is another excellent step in that direction, taking the seat in the Arab League, which will hopefully lead us into taking the seat in the United Nations and other regional and international organisations."
- Yaser Tabbara, the spokesman for the Syrian National Coalition

If you're managing link building for a client or your own website, here's a quick primer on link building strategies to find only quality sites related to your niche. To start, let's say the website you're building link prospects for focuses on "Mexico travel." In this case some of your initial Google search commands to build link prospects or related advertising enquiries on those sites would include:
If you're looking to receive links back through commenting on other sites with the ability for visitors to leave comments without using "rel=nofollow" then you can get a little more creative. WordPress by default includes the rel=nofollow tag, so don't waste your time there. However, there are a bunch of content management systems that do not include the rel=nofollow such as Drupal. So, using the same basic keywords or related phrases, let's locate some places we can potentially get comment links:
If you want to use comment linking, which can be useful if managed properly, there are a bunch of other content management systems that do not utilize the rel=nofollow tag on outgoing links left by visitors that comment on stories. We have built an internal list of the ones that work well for linking using sites like CMS Matrix to find the content management systems that allow direct linking from comments. Unfortunately I cannot share our list - but I can share the overall idea!
If you'd like more information on our link building strategies , please contact us for more information. If you have your own ideas on finding relevant links using search commands, please leave a comment below on just how you do it. Since we use Drupal you will get a direct link from it ;-)
Nice post. I like the allinurl tip, especially.reply
I appreciate the tips on finding relevant sites to look for link prospects. Most of the web marketers I know only search for keywords within Google, such as "Mexico travel + submit site" or similar. I think your advice makes a bit more sense to find the most relevant ones though.
Here is a way to speed up the process:
links -dump 'http://www.google.com/search?q=specialized-query&num=100&start=0' | egrep -o "http:.*" | grep -v "google.com" | egrep -v '[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}' | awk '{ print "
"$1"
" }' >> backlink_hunter.html; firefox backlink_hunter.html &
Something like that... but for optimal results will require tweaking.reply
Very useful information - I really didn't know how to search pages using keywords. Thanks!reply
Just an FYI... I don't think it's enabled by default, but you can turn auto nofollow adding on for any input format. Drupal.org has it on. Interesting article. I've been looking at your site trying to learn more about SEO. I've got this goal to knock my competition off the top of the Google results for some keywords.reply
Very nice post :)reply
It?s also important to check with the command allinanchor, which give us mor information about competitorsreply
I had no idea that the standard in Wordpress was no follow. I thought it was a plug-in that was required or robot.txt. What a waste if time. I am glad I came across your site when I did before I wasted another 3 months of commenting. Thank you!reply
Hi Joshua,
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, WP incorporated the nofollow by default for quite some time now. There is a plugin to allow links (dofollow).
I would suggest stopping by CMS matrix or a similar site and finding popular CMS platforms that use the dofollow method. Getting posts on WordPress sites garnishes little in the link building arena.reply
Hi Brian,
Some nice technical tips, but in most cases I suspect you are probably only going to get offers to exchange low value links on "Resources" pages, or no link exchange option at all. I may be wrong about this, but I suspect most high PR sites would not be willing to place a home page link to your site either for money or an equal PR value link exchange (since it impacts their aesthetics). While of course there are some sites that will accept money for a home page link, and agree to limit their number of outbound links, they don't advertise the fact because Google will ignore these links once it finds out they are pay based. In the final analysis, you probably need to go to an SEO firm who has a "buddy club" of site owners that accept pay based home page links for money. This is probably very expensive, since you need to pay the SEO firm's override in addition to the amount going to the site owners.reply
I have found a footprint like ["Your name:"+"Your e-mail address:"+"Your website:"+"Add your comments:"+"Please enter the code you see in the image:"] for search in Google. You can use it for your purpose. I think it will work more efficiently.reply
good post.. i would like to post one more thing .. which is Disqus commenting.. very effective and very natural tooreply
