NY Times: Police sometimes portray crimes less seriously
A story in today's New York Times delves into the issue of crime reporting accuracy by the New York Police Department.
NYPD has been dogged by questions about the integrity of its FBI crime numbers as accounts from officers have come out in media reports that suggest there is pressure to downgrade crimes from felonies to misdemeanors.
According to the story, the Times reviewed more than 100 police reports from the last four months and found "there were a number of instances in which the police report seemed to portray a less serious account of a crime than the district attorney, or a victim, provided subsequently." »Read Full Blog Post

I was a Cop for 25 years and will explain the problem of statistics. There are many variables so that every incident can not fit into a box or a legal definition. This is especial true when there are no witnesses to the alleged victim complaint. Many victims are intoxicated, many will exaggerate to get sympathy, and many will outright lye to reduce there culpability in the incident. Example alleged spousal abuse. One will claim the other pulled a knife, and the there is no knife to be found anywhere in the area. The alleged Victims statement has to be recorded word for word into reports, even though the Cop doesn't believe that part of the alleged victims story. The Cop indicates it is a Disorderly Conduct and arrests the Spouse for the same, and maybe the Spouse get charges with DC , but some uninvolved person second guess the Cop on the scene and reports this as an felony use of a deadly weapon even though the spouse is never charged let alone convicted of even the DC. There are cases where crimes are mis-categorized mostly by honest mistake and differences of opinion. Example : Spouse is arrested for DC while Armed (a Felony) and the DA issued plain DC (which is a Misdeamaor) what do you indicate on the FBI statistics report we called CAR (Crime Analysis Report. The intial arrest with charge and then re-submitthe amended charge or do you just use the misd DC instead filling two CAR's

Cloud-based tools, including large-scale data-intensive computing as offered by Hadoop, are key to the rise and rise of cloud computing. In this wide-ranging Exclusive Q&A with SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal, the Director of Grid Services at Yahoo! - Rob Weltman - explains to Jeremy Geelan, Conference Chair of SYS-CON's 1st International Cloud Computing Conference & Expo held last week in San Jose, CA, how analyzing and learning from ever-growing volumes of business data is essential to continuously refining and improving service offerings.
Cloud Computing Journal: Yahoo! has been the largest contributor to the Hadoop project and uses Hadoop extensively in its Web search and advertising businesses. Can you explain a little of the background to that?
Rob Weltman: Yahoo! Search (and before it Inktomi) was a pioneer in using large clusters of commodity computers to speed up the crawling and indexing of Web sites. While working on the architecture and design of the next generation of Web Search crawling and indexing, we came in touch with Doug Cutting and the open source Lucene project for text indexing/search. Lucene contained a distributed file system with integrated computation using the map-reduce paradigm. It looked very promising and appropriate for many data-intensive applications. Hadoop was then split out as its own project. Yahoo! supported Hadoop in a big way, both in contributing to its development as an open source project and in applying it to solve many large-scale data/computation problems in the company.
Hadoop has matured at an amazingly fast pace. From a 20-node cluster two years ago, to many 2,000-node clusters today; from a somewhat embarrassing terasort (a benchmark) performance to the terasort leader; from a no-access control to user- and group-owned files and directories. There is now a high-level language - Pig - that allows you to express complex operations on data in an intuitive way and have them translated into Hadoop map-reduce jobs.
In 2007, Hadoop at Yahoo! was used primarily for research - analyzing enormous volumes of data to find the best algorithms and parameters for selecting search results or ads to present to users. Now it is also a central component in many production operations, including Web Search, ad serving, and personalization.
Cloud Computing Journal: Are cloud-based tools like Hadoop the most important kinds of tools for the future, do you think?
RW: Being able to add capacity as needed without major software or infrastructure changes is clearly important for many organizations. Sharing resources and dynamically allocating more or less to various functions on demand is highly attractive as companies strive to control costs while the computing needs grow and shift. Analyzing and learning from ever-growing volumes of business data is essential to continuously refining and improving service offerings. The ability to quickly explore new algorithms and put them into production will be a competitive advantage for those with the resources to apply them. All of these speak to the importance of Cloud Computing,
Cloud Computing Journal: How important a role does Java play in the project? Is that because of the need to scale horizontally (and massively)?
RW: Hadoop supports programming and scripting in many languages. Hadoop, itself, is written in Java. The language provides strong support for the central infrastructure needs of system and network programming. There is a large body of experience in developing robust, performance-optimized, scalable platforms in Java.
Java provides portability to many hardware and software environments however Hadoop's horizontal scalability is not a result of the choice of language but rather of a design that is strongly focused on fault-tolerance and distribution.
Cloud Computing Journal: Is the Yahoo! Search Webmap still the world's largest Hadoop production application so far as you are aware? Can you share some size data about Webmap with us?
RW: Yes, as far as I know, the Yahoo! WebMap is the largest Hadoop application in production. It uses 2,000+ computers and is still continuously growing. It produces 300TB of data per run, including 1.2 trillion links.
Cloud Computing Journal: How important are Hadoop clusters to Yahoo! Overall? Do your Web search queries depend on them?
RW: Hadoop isn't directly involved in responding to queries typed in by users, but it is responsible for much of the backend work that produces the indexes used to service those queries. If the Hadoop clusters were down, the quality of search results would quickly degrade as the indexes became stale.
Cloud Computing Journal: Who else besides Yahoo! uses Hadoop to run large distributed computations?
RW: Many of the major Hadoop users are listed at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/PoweredBy. Facebook has several hundred nodes in a cluster for backend processing and analysis. Quantcast has several thousand cores in a very large cluster. Many companies, including AOL, A9 (Amazon), and IBM have deployed somewhat smaller clusters. It's likely that almost all of the uses involve large quantities of data.
Cloud Computing Journal: Can Hadoop be run on Amazon EC2?
RW: Absolutely! There is a ready-to-run AMI (virtual machine definition for EC2) for Hadoop. Among many others, Powerset (now owned by Microsoft) runs on EC2.
Cloud Computing Journal: What about Sun's Grid Engine - can it also be run on that?
RW: Yes, Hadoop works with Sun's Grid Engine but you lose the benefit of data locality (putting the computation of each piece of a distributed job near the data needed by that piece).
Cloud Computing Journal: Does the Hadoop team have any kind of a blog or forum?
RW: We have a blog at http://developer.yahoo.net/blogs/hadoop/. The team is also heavily engaged in the user and developer Hadoop mailing lists at hadoop.apache.org.
Cloud Computing Journal: Doug Cutting named it after his child's stuffed elephant. Is there any downside to an Enterprise IT tool having the name of a stuffed elephant?
RW: I did get some ribbing during the election period when I wore my Hadoop Summit t-shirt with the elephant on it, but I was able to clarify Hadoop's open source and non-partisan nature.
Cloud Computing Journal: What else have you and your team developed at Yahoo!, in terms of data-analytics applications for example?
RW: The Grid Computing development team at Yahoo! works on the Hadoop core software, the Pig high-level language, the ZooKeeper distributed coordination service, and the Chukwa monitoring and metric analysis system. In addition, it provides various Hadoop add-ons and tools to e.g. facilitate joining of very large data sets or to understand and improve the performance and efficiency of Hadoop jobs. We provide consulting to application teams that develop large-scale Hadoop programs (often involving feature extraction, modeling, optimization, and index creation) but do not produce them ourselves.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

AC/DC 'Insiders' Deny Retirement Rumors
"Insiders" close to AC/DC have denied that the rock legends are retiring.
"Insiders" close to AC/DC have denied that the rock legends are retiring.
Happy Birthday to guitarist Angus Young of AC/DC. He's 59 today.
It has been a while since we heard rumblings out of the AC/DC camp, but it looks like that's about to change. In a new interview, singer Brian Johnson divulged the group's plans for the year, which involve a new album, their first since 2008's 'Black Ice.'
Dave Evans, who preceded Bon Scott as the lead singer of AC/DC, has a new EP, 'Nothing to Prove,' which will be released March 3 on Australia's Rocksector Records. The video for the opening track, 'Put Up or Shut Up,' is embedded above.
Arguably no album released during AC/DC's Brian Johnson era arrived with smaller fanfare than 'Blow Up Your Video,' which was released on Jan. 18, 1988.
Happy Birthday to Malcolm Young. The founder and rhythm guitarist of AC/DC turns 61 today.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Manchester school board should be proud of its accomplishments
Preliminary numbers indicated that the district had managed to cut its dropout rate in half over the past school year; donors were ponying up tens of thousands of dollars for the STEAM Ahead program; and, most important, the board had finalized a budget that the superintendent said should allow the district to begin the school year in the fall without a single overcrowded class.
Stewart used the opportunity to reiterate his belief the school budget remained inadequate and that the district doesn't do enough long-term planning. "I know I sound like a broken record here, but I want to see what it looks like to have the schools fully funded for the next five years," he said.
The end of school could come even later next year, Avard noted, if there are a lot of snow days.
Still, Avard was happy to see the graduation date put out there so soon.
The sky isn't falling at City Hall after all. You might recall that Mayor Ted Gatsas had proposed bonding close to $1 million for repairs and renovations at City Hall. At their final budget meeting, earlier this month, most of the aldermen thought it would be better to put the bond money toward road repairs.

When my Daughter moved back in .. ( now this is the 3rd time) i thought i could handle it.. and at first i did.. but its been harder and harder. We now have 6 in this small 3 bedroom house.. Daughter.. and 3 grand kids.. and 3 dogs and i cat .. plus 6 cats outside.Its not many many are here and dont get me wrong i love them all and glad i get to see them each day but .. at my age its hard. We had our kids so early and didnt have time in our marriage to have fun and do things together. We had the kids already. So i was thinking i would have the time now. I am hoping one day soon things will be different but right now we are handling it.. I am trying to keep busy. working out.. walking.. cleaning.. and yard work to keep myself from going crazy.. Also. having lunch out with my gf really helps.. I know things could be worse.. and i am thinking positive and doing the best i can..I get my grandson off to school in the morning and some days pick up granddaughter in the afternoon.. Life is good.. cause i do have my family and have my darling husband and a roof over my head and food.. so not all bad.. !
I do appreciate all i have and the love in my life.
I made up my mind i am going to lose and keep it off and not going to gain again!! I have been exercising every day.. working out on treadmill.. walking and running.. and many other exercise. mixing it up and getting my heart rate up.

This was my first time seeing a show at this venue and a production by this Baltimore-based theater company. Both delivered!
As for the venue, the Theater Project is a fantastic space (which I would never have known from the outside) located within walking distance to/from some of the City's best restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.
As for the show itself, Iron Crow packed a lot of drama and (dark) comedy into the play's approx. 70 min. running time. (A nice length, BTW). In that period, each of the cast members - who displayed nice chemistry amongst one another - managed to lovingly capture the myriad of emotions that one might feel when losing someone and, for me, drive home one of the important points of the play: one may truly never (ever) really know someone.
Incidentally, the play is not about the military so don't let the title fool you. And, while the emotional center of the play is (presumably) gay, the points of the play are universal ... and timeless.
I will definitely be back to the Theatre Project and I look forward to future productions of the Iron Crow.

Quotes & Highlights
"David's dancing spirit refuses to die. That spirit rises up in the final imagery of Iron Crow Theatre's production — imagery beautifully staged by director Steven J. Satta-Fleming and set to an original song by Michael Perrie. The Soldier Dreams may be about coping with loss and grief, but this poignant production leaves no doubt that it is also about celebrating life." -WYPR
"…beautiful, sad, hilarious, heartwarming offering that Iron Crow Theatre doesn't just produce but conquers." -Broadwayworld.com

David Coppedge's co-workers at one of the nation's most prominent scientific institutions didn't have to guess his theory as to how the universe was created. He offered to lend them DVDs advocating intelligent design.
An evangelical Christian, he also asked that the holiday potluck at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory be renamed the Christmas potluck and sparred with at least one colleague over their divergent views on Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California.
Coppedge's zest for hot-button topics rankled some co-workers at the facility in La Cañada Flintridge, who complained about him to management. But did it eventually cost him his job? That's the question a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge presiding over Coppedge's wrongful termination lawsuit is expected to decide in the coming months.

Historical Traveler Reviews Historic Oak Hill Inn Natchez
Southern Hospitality
This was a wonderful B & B experience. Oak Hill is a lovely place to stay. The location is perfect for walking to sites in Natchez's historical district. The owner, Doug, was most attentive and gave us very helpful suggestions on what to see and do. The service was excellent, the food delicious, and the outdoor setting was a real delight. The stay here and all the wonderful things to see in Natchez is a "memory maker".
Wish I could LIVE there
We had to go to Natchez for a wedding, and were at our wits end about where to stay. Luck for us, we happened upon Oak Hill. It was probably the most pleasant, elegant B&B I've ever been to. The hosts were so welcoming and accomodating (even when we were running very late for our arrival!) and made us feel right at home. And what a home it is - the antiques and furnishings are museum-quality. Then there are the gardens - full of flowers and lushly planted. The front porch was the perfect spot for a nightcap. As for the breakfasts, I don't know where to begin. There was always fresh fruit and baked goods, but then each day brought a new surprise - my favorite being the souffle.
So, if you like nice people, great food, beautiful antiques, lovely gardens and front porches, this is the place to stay.
Great Stay, highly recommend!
I had a great stay at the Oak Hill Inn. Wonderful combination of elegance, comfort and personal service. My first instinct was to stay on the main drag so I could be closer to the downtown area, but appreciated the quiet serenity of this neighborhood. Natchez is a very suitable walking town so I was able to start right out the front door and complete the walking tour of the beautiful homes. The hosts were very pleasant and accommodating- the food was fabulous. EC2007
Excellant Respect of Southern History
We just returned from a weekend in Natchez, MS. All the research done on the internet led us to the Oak Hill Bed & Breakfast, but I can truthfully say, the internet pictures didn't do the place justice. It is absolutely gorgeous, peaceful, and very detail-oriented. The hospitality was great. The homemade breakfasts were splendid--there should be more emphasis put on this on their website, for the variety of dishes offered are actually gourmet delicacies. The absolute cleanliness of each and every item placed in the house made it very evident there was pride and respect for antiques and our southern heritage. The price is very much within reason for what you get.
A Must Stay In Natchez!
My husband and I along with another couple spent the labor day weekend in the upstairs suites of Oak Hill. If you're looking for luxury, ambience, relaxation and sinfully delicous homemade breakfast then this is the place.
Sitting on the beautiful front porch in the rockers with a cocktail is absolute solitude, since this home is located in a very quiet area. The gardens are simple but very elegant.
Doug is a great host and is willing to answer any questions you have about his beautiful home. He is also very knowledgeable about Natchez and willing to make suggestions of things to do and places to eat.
Thank you Doug for all your kindness. We wil definitely return.
Best Christmas!!!!
My wife and I spent the weekend before Christmas at the Historic Oak Hill Inn. That was our second time there. We went the first time on our anniversary the July before and we have been back sense Christmas. So needless to say we love that Inn. We love Doug and Don,,,,those two guys make sure everything there is to your likeing. We have stayed in the upsatairs and downstairs rooms,,,and could not complain if we wanted too. There is simply nothing to complain about. From the home made breakfast to the mint tea and homemade chocolet chip cookies that greet you at the back door when you come into the house, to the rooms, it is all perfect!!!! The back patio and fountain are wonderfull. So peacefull!!!! And something that i really like is the covered parking. That may not be much to you,,but it is to me. Ill inclose some X-mas pic's. I hope you give that ole house a try,,,it nor the host's will let you down.
FABULOUS Bed and Breakfast! Absolutely loved it.
My husband and I visited for the Labor Day holiday. This was truly the best retreat that we've had in a long time. The owners are absolutely at your disposal. The food was to die for....everything is made from scatch including the buttermilk biscuits and sweet potatoe/pecan waffles. If you are looking for outstanding accomodations, great food and an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I highly recommend this Bed and Breakfast.
Beautiful Bed & Breakfast!
We stayed in the Beatty room at Oak Hill Inn for a 2 night getaway, and from the moment we arrived were treated like royalty.
Our host, Doug, was very knowledgeable of the area and history of Natchez. He gave us a tour of his beautiful home and showed us to our room. The Beatty room is simply decadent. Chocolates and cold drinks awaited us. The lovely bathroom had a nice surprise - a massive granite shower.
Both mornings we were treated to delicious, home cooked breakfasts and were able to meet the other houseguests. We didn't really want to leave our bed - which was sinfully comfortable, but the smells of coffee, bacon, and other treats pulled us out.
We definitely plan on staying in the same room when we next go to Natchez. Doug was wonderful!
The Absolute Best!
August 28, 2007 -- My daughter and I are preparing to return to what has become our second home: Historic Oak Hill Inn in Natchez, Mississippi. I have lost count of the actual number of visits here in the last18 months; it's probably at least a half dozen. Natchez is a wonderful getaway, particularly for couples or mother/daughter combos. My daughter and I have traveled to Natchez at least twice a year for ten years and have stayed at many fine B&B's in this lovely, historic town. But when our party expanded to include four other people 18 months ago, we found Oak Hill by a lucky accident. We had the entire house and immediately became friends with the owners. This is by far the most charming B&B I have ever encountered. The hosts are, quite simply, the best . . . as is the incredible food. Knowing I had visited Natchez so often, one of our hosts (Doug) made it his personal mission to answer every question I asked about the town and to introduce me to others who could help me learn more about the town's history. Oak Hill has everything a B&B guest would want: romantic atmosphere, lovely gardens, beautiful antiques, amazing food (and presentation!), unmatched hospitality, and convenience (we particularly enjoy morning and evening walks through the Garden District and to nearby restaurants). For romantic getaways, request the Beatty Suite! You will never be disappointed by Oak Hill, and will probably leave immediately planning your return.
Great B&B
Oak Hill is a beautifully restored 1835s Southern "cottage" owned by Doug Mauro. Doug is a great innkeeper, who loves his adopted town, and enjoys suggesting its many attractions. In addition to the beautiful antique decor, he's a talented gardener, and the grounds are filled with beautiful flowers. We enjoyed an outstanding breakfast of fresh fruit and juice, lots of coffee, eggs and especially good bacon and biscuits, plus a New Orleans praline French toast dish that should probably be illegal. Our room was highlighted by a comfortable queen-size half-tester bed, with a luxurious rainfall shower head in the bathroom. One of the nice aspects of this B&B is that guests are welcome in all the many common areas of the inn, unlike some of the plantation mansions which are locked up other than the tour.

Orders, revenue growth lifts Siemens Q3 outlook
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Nagendra Padala | June 30, 2010 1:31 AM EST
German industrial conglomerate Siemens AG expects strong profitability in the third quarter as new orders and revenue growth, driven by strong demand in the emerging countries, coupled with impressive recovery in its short-cycle businesses.
The company anticipates total new orders and revenue growth at its industry, energy and healthcare sectors to exceed last year numbers as well as the previous quarter.
For the industry, energy and healthcare sectors, the total orders in the third quarter will increase from 16.2 billion euros in the third quarter of 2009. Total revenue is expected to rise from 17.4 billion euros a year ago, the company said. In the second quarter, new orders were about 17.1 billion euros , while revenue was 17.5 billion euros.
"Due to continuing cost productivity in the third quarter, total sectors profit was likely to closely approach the results from operations in the strong previous quarter while including no significant one-time effects," chief financial officer Joe Kaeser said in a statement.
The company's industry sector profited again in the third quarter on business climate improvements for its shorter-cycle activities, where its Osram unit had strong demand for light-emitting diodes. The industry sector supplies manufacturing, transportation, building and lighting systems.
Siemens expects revenue for the industry sector to be above 8.3 billion euros from the previous quarter due to improvements in its shorter-cycle activities. Both profit and new orders in the industry sector will probably surpass the prior-year figures of 783 million euros and 8.0 billion euros, respectively.
The industry sector posted external revenue of 33.9 billion euros and profit of 2.7 billion euros in fiscal 2009.
For the third quarter, the revenue and profit from energy sector is expected to be slightly below the profit of 863 million euros and revenue of 6.4 billion euros reported in the year-ago quarter. But the new orders will probably exceed the prior-year figure of 6.9 billion euros.
The energy sector, which offers power generation, transmission and distribution services, recorded external revenue of 25.4 billion euros and profit of 3.3 billion euros in fiscal 2009.
In the healthcare sector, the company expects profit to be more than 270 million euros reported in the third quarter of 2009. Revenue and new orders are expected to be above the corresponding figures for both the prior year and the previous quarter, the company said.
The company's healthcare sector, which reported external revenue of 11.9 billion euros and profit of 1.5 billion euros in 2009, provides services in diagnostic systems, therapeutic technologies and knowledge processing – including information technology and systems integration.
However, all third-quarter projections reflect substantial currency translation effects due to the strength of the U.S. dollar during the quarter, Siemens said.
Siemens AG, which has a business portfolio of activities in the field of electronics and electrical engineering, is presently serving seven business areas including information and communications, power generation, and power transmission and distribution. The company had around 4,05,000 employees worldwide in 190 countries.

Preterm Labor Medication: Is Brethine Safe?
I am 21-weeks-pregnant and recently was prescribed Brethine to stop preterm labor. I read a few articles that said that Brethine is not FDA approved for this purpose, and that it should not be used for more than one week. Can you tell me more?Question:
Peg Plumbo CNM
Peg Plumbo has been a certified nurse-midwife (CNM) since 1976. She has assisted at over 1,000 births and currently teaches in the... Read more
Brethine or Terbutaline is used extensively in the treatment of preterm labor. It generally is initiated when preterm contractions cause cervical change. The physiology of its action is complex, but it is meant to quiet the uterine contractions. It is administered via IV in the hospital, then subcutaneously (injection) and finally orally at home or by infusion pump.
The reason that administration is associated with short term use (one week) is that the literature does not support better outcomes over the long term. But this medication can stave off labor until steroids can be administered which assist maturation of the baby's lungs.
Brethine is not FDA approved for use in preterm labor but the standard of care across the world accepts the use of this medication. In some women, it delays labor until 37 weeks, when the client stops taking it and goes into spontaneous labor. In some women, it seems to have little effect, especially in the presence of intrauterine infection.
Fetal side effects are primarily related to adverse maternal effects. Rapid heart rate in the mother is a common side effect which may cause accelerated fetal heart rate. In the worst case, this may lead to hypoxia and fetal distress. Mothers who receive this drug are initially hospitalized and monitored closely. There is a rare risk of maternal pulmonary edema, which, if left unchecked, can cause maternal and fetal death.
It seems quite early to begin medication at 21 weeks and it may be a good idea to seek a second opinion of an experienced obstetrician or perinatologist to see if this is an appropriate management plan for you.Answer:

Most people after building an online game, realize that this first difficult and fun part is just don't enough and the most difficult part is ahead.
Browser games and mmogs (massive multiplayer online games) need a lot of players in order to succeed.
These games are usually simple, and should be simple, but the big challenge is coming from competition amongst hundreds of other players playing this browser game.
But what happens if your browser game has very small number of players? New players will not stay… and will not play. They will leave once realize that nothing is happening there.
Earthlead free open source browser game that is build to solve this problem.
The various game sites are interconnected with the use of a game server. So while you can edit files to give additional functionality to your browser game site, a new look, a new language, your single player once logged in will meet players from other sites to compete or collaborate. Players do not know from were other players come... it all looks that are from your web site and this will keep players in your game.
At earthelead players compete to build a strong nation in a real world map, using diplomacy, economy, military power, in modern era.
As a webmaster you can also make some profit from adsense or from a plus site.

I am looking for any information on my Grandmother's parents and Grandparents. Her name is Dorothy Stones born Jan 5, 1916. Her mother is Annie Eden Varley and her father is Joseph Stones who died in approximately 1918. They lived in Medomsley, Durham Co., England. Joseph worked as a timekeeper in a coal mine. Joseph was born in 1881 and Annie in 1880. Joseph's parents were Joseph who was born approximately 1853 in Sheffield, Yorkshire and his mother Martha M.( no maiden name known) was born in 1857 according to census information. Does this sound familiar to anyone? Please notify if it does.

More reviews by rainbowrivulets
quick application, thin, and forms a smooth, protective layer. Dries quickly! I use this every time.
Dries fast, and helps nail polish stay on and not chip when used in conjunction with a top coat. I have been using my very first bottle for well over a year now, and I`ve most likely used it at least 30 times. I bought this in a bag combined with OPI top coat for about $10 Canadian so I found it`s price to be reasonable. I have no issues with it, even after a year of use. Definitely recommend, and without hesitation I would repurchase!

I tried this out based on recc's for stain prevention. I've been using it on short nails with very dark and bright colors known to stain, and I have to say, I think it does a very good job of stain prevention! That's huge if you've ever stained your nails and like to go back & forth between sheers, clears, and brights.
It has not accelerated any chipping for me, but I think that short length nails with little to no free edge do not have much chipping problems. I've been wearing a work polish Sunday night - Thursday night and my color stays put, especially with a mani extender clear coat half-way through the week, if I have time, which I usually don't.
I am not currently trying to grow my nails out, I'm finding short much more chic and easy to care for right now.

I'm going to be honest and say that OPI's NNBC is a sub-par base coat. I noticed whenever I paint my nails (regardless of what brand I'm wearing) they tend to chip within a few hours after application. Very disappointed. Never been a huge fan of OPI in general and whenever I try a different product from them, I am constantly left underwhelmed. I'll stick to my Zoya 'anchor basecoat' and my China Glaze 'strong adhesion basecoat'.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The price is ok, I got it for around $8 at target. It applies easily and quickly because of the big brush it has. And the best part is, is that it dries very quickly so you can start coloring right away. If I were to only apply the base color and not a color, it chips easily, so it is not something that you would only wear and expect it to last and protect you nails.
This is my favorite base coat. It dries quickly (I think it´s very important when you will use many other coats of various nail polishes then) and applies well. I love the bottle and the color of a fluid. The only thing I don´t like is how it smells - quite a sharp smell.
Great as far as base coats go. It dries quickly and smooths and evens out the nail, prepping it for painting. Doesnt start peeling quickly, a problem that I usually have with other base coats. Only problem for me is that the handle sometimes gets detached from the brush part. But thats probably just my bottle. And I wish it had ingredients to strengthen the nail but thats not really its purpose, so you cant fault them for it.
I really love this base coat. Not thick, but not too thin. Dries really fast, so fast that it's dry by the time I've finished both hands.
I like this base coat! It applies well, dries fast (by the time I'm done with it I can start applying my nail polish straight away), and does protect my nails from yellowing/staining. I'm halfway through the bottle, and I've only had to put a couple of drops of nail polish thinner for it to keep working. Will repurchase.
I like this base coat. It applies thinly (nicely) and dries very quickly. I am not sure if it is the greatest base coat ever but when I use this in combination with the OPI Top Coat, my manicures last at least 7 days - sometimes 9. I alternate between this and Orly Bonder.

Time Out Ratings :<strong>Rating: </strong>2/5
Episode two
The lines between guilt and innocence blur further as ITV's three-part psychological thriller enters its midsection. Might Serena have been more culpable than she's letting on for the death of her abusive teacher Marcus? Or was she merely trying to protect Poppy, now in full on vengeance mode having been released from prison?
Unfortunately, the closer we edge to resolving these central mysteries, the less intriguing it becomes, especially as the adult characters are so strangely hard to care about. It's hokey and overwrought, but the flashbacks offer considerable compensation in the form of Martin Compston, truly villainous as Marcus, whether exploding with rage or queasily exploiting his young charges. But a disappointment, nonetheless.

Again, I do not know the answers at all. But I do think that any discussion of "will the RMB or will it not" needs to be centered around what people ultimately think about China's domestic economic prospects and what it will do to its financial markets. Focusing on these near-term baby steps potentially risks missing the forest for the trees, in my view.
I think Patrick puts the skeptical case very well and it's a convincing one to me. Damien raises some good questions, but I think those questions have answers - or at least answers that are the best we can do, given the inevitable uncertainties of the future.
First, I'm not sure that we really do all know that China plays the long, long game. Take the question of economic rebalancing. Prominent officials have been talking for years about the urgent need to shift away from an investment-led growth model, yet China has not managed to do so. Why? Short-term pain is the best explanation. I think it's hard to demonstrate that Chinese officials are markedly better than their counterparts in other countries at making and implementing policies that will pay off over the long term. Thus, it's not clear to me that we should interpret each of these steps as part of a larger plan, designed to reach fruition decades from now, to achieve reserve currency status for the RMB.
Second, if we do interpret these steps as part of a coherent policy aimed at internationalization, then that's a policy that exists now, and it's perfectly reasonable to compare it with other policies existing now to see if it's compatible. As Patrick points out, it's not: "China's entire relationship with the rest of the world economy would have to change, in ways the Chinese have strongly resisted so far." Of course, as Damien points out, China's policies could change and we can't simply assume that what was true in the past will be true in the future. Ironically, however, the argument that people make when they predict internationalization of the RMB seems to be based precisely on such a straight-line extrapolation from the past into the future: it's more internationalized than it used to be, and so we can expect it to continue on in the same direction.
I agree with Damien that what happens in China's domestic economy is important, but I don't think it's determinative on the question of whether the RMB will achieve international reserve currency status. After all, as Michael Pettis points out, "[t]he Spanish (later Mexican) silver dollar, to take the opposite example, was one of the world's dominant currencies (or tracking currencies) for hundreds of years up to the late 19th century, and yet it would be hard to argue that either Spain after the 16th Century or Mexico at any time was one of the world's dominant economies." And as Patrick points out, the Japanese yen had a very limited international role even when the Japanese economy was going gangbusters.
Finally, of course, there's the question of whether and to whom this should matter. It's by no means clear that having your currency become an international reserve currency is a good thing. Michael Pettis makes the skeptical case here, arguing that China's policymakers understand these costs, too, and have shown no sign of being willing to pay them.
Brazil and China have signed a currency swap agreement that permits them to exchange up to $30 billion of their own currencies with the other. It gives them more flexibility to deal with emergency situations. $30 billion is a lot of money, except when it isn't. For comparison, $30 billion is the amount transacted on world foreign exchange markets in ten and a half minutes. That's the average, over 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, but of course at peak moments, these markets easily turn over hundreds of billions of dollars each minute.
In current foreign exchange transactions, US dollars are involved in over 80 percent of transactions. The RMB? Less than one percent. So is the RMB replacing the U.S. dollar? Nope. Patrick Chovanec has no trouble whatsoever knocking over the straw man, and takes us deeper, explaining some of the prerequisites of the RMB becoming a global currency. Why, then, does such a question matter? It matters because it injects something of great importance to the Chinese domestic discussion. Will China become a global power, perhaps even the preeminent global economic power? Yes, that can happen. But it will happen only when China really builds further on its strengths: when China becomes more open; when China is perceived as a place where global actors can get a fair shake; when China is a place where rule of law and fair regulatory systems mean that people all over the world are willing to hold their money in RMB-denominated assets. If and only if that happens, Chinese money will become global money, and China will become a true global economic power.
Barry Naughton raises a very important point: the "holy grail" of building the Renminbi into a global reserve currency may have greater relevance to China's domestic political debate than to the global economy. I think it's fair to say that China's central bank (the People's Bank of China, or PBOC) is largely staffed by Western-educated economists who would like China to move in the direction of market reform: deregulating interest rates, opening the capital account, letting the exchange rate float, etc. If they took these to the State Council, and tried to sell them as market reforms per se, they would likely face stiff opposition. It is a far more clever strategy, in my view, to go to the State Council and tell them China's goal must be to make the Reminbi into the top global reserve currency. It appeals to national pride and sounds like it will put China in position to call the shots in the global economy.

What is the best method for removing neck wrinkles?
Yes, there are some devices that can assist in reducing neck wrinkles such as Thermage, Ulthera, etc. If the issue is really excessive skin that has produced these wrinkles a neck or facelift may be in order. Wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. Best,
Gary R Culbertson, MD, FACS
Thanks for the questions and 'I will start with the last one first. No current method is able to create a completely permanent wrinkle correction, so it won't be forever.
As far a avoiding problems later in life, the answers are more complex. Well done surgery can reduce or remove many types of neck wrinkles, and is without long term problems. Rare complications may be permanent. Various energy devices (Ulthera, Thermage, Intense Pulsed Light) have good records of safety when supervised or done by experienced professionals, although their results tend to be more variable, and their duration shorter. At some settings some devices have caused permanent irregularities, but this was less common as users gained further experience.
You would need an in-person consultation with an experienced surgeon for individual evaluation.

Kicchler Xenon Light
By S. from Huntington Beach, CA on Aug 09, 2007
This is a great light system. Qaulity construction, low profile, looks good and provides more sufficient lighting then the single-light version. Highly recommend it.

I was reading over your message and noted what you said about people being listed only if they marry and marry within the region. I am guessing that is why my great-grandfather only shows up sporadically. He married but he married in Winnipeg. I have his marriage documents from that and on them he states that he was born May 6, 1864 in Trois Pistoles and that he is the son of Jerome Lemieux and "Marie" Deschenes. Since it appears that Marie or Leocadie died in the spring or summer of 1864 it may very well have been associated with his birth.
