Glencore International Plc (GLEN) is continuting to stick to the terms of a $33 billion bid for Xstrata Plc (XTA), resisting mounting pressure from shareholders to sweeten the offer four days before investors vote, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
No talks were held during the weekend, and none are scheduled between Glencore and Qatar Holding LLC, the biggest opposing shareholder, according to the person who asked not to be named because the plans are private. If the current proposal fails, executives are considering a structure for a new offer that would be more difficult to block, the person said.
Opposition to Baar, Switzerland-based Glencore's all-share offer made in February intensified last week when Qatar Holding, owner of 12 percent of Xstrata, confirmed it would vote against the current terms at a vote on Sept. 7. Glencore owns 34 percent of Xstrata and wants the rest of the coal, copper and zinc producer to create the world's fourth-biggest mining company.
A lack of talks in the final weekend before shareholders vote heightens the risk of the deal collapsing. Under the structure, known as a scheme of arrangement, just 16.48 percent of Xstrata shareholders can block the transaction, and Glencore isn't allowed to vote its 33.65 percent stake.
New Structure
If the current proposal fails this week, Glencore is considering an option to return with a future offer structured as a more conventional takeover, the person said. That would lower the threshold of acceptances to complete a deal from 75 percent under a scheme of arrangement to more than 50 percent.
Charles Watenphul, a spokesman for Glencore, declined to comment, and an Xstrata spokesman declined to comment. Qatar's officials weren't immediately available for comment yesterday.
Glencore's billionaire chief executive officer, Ivan Glasenberg, 55, is the largest shareholder of the commodities trader with about 15.7 percent. He has repeatedly rebuffed calls to raise his offer. On Aug. 21 he said he was ready to move on from the deal rather than overpay.
An all-stock deal of 2.8 Glencore shares for each one in Baar, Switzerland-based Xstrata's was agreed to between the two companies in February, with Xstrata's Mick Davis lined up to be the combined company's CEO and Glasenberg his deputy and president.
Opposing Shareholders
Knight Vinke Asset Management LLC, the New York-based activist fund, also said last week it intends to vote against the proposal on its current terms. Schroders Plc (SDR) and Standard Life Investments (SLGLDIA) have also said they would vote it down.
The chances of the deal's success were slipping below 30 percent, Liberum Capital Ltd. said in a Aug. 29 note. The initial offer was made at an 8 percent premium, the second- lowest for any mining deal worth more than $5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Opposition to the bid had grown to about 15 percent of Xstrata investors after the Financial Times reported last month that Norway's sovereign wealth fund, with 3 percent of Xstrata, planned to block the deal with Qatar, Liberum said. UBS said Aug. 20 it saw a 60 percent chance of the deal being voted down.
Analysts including UBS AG (UBSN), Jefferies Group Inc. (JEF:US), Societe Generale SA (GLE) and Liberum have predicted that Glencore would need to raise its offer to 3 shares to complete the transaction.
Qatar's Position
Qatar Holding said Aug. 30 that while it supported the deal in principle, it would not vote in favor under the current terms. The fund "believes that Xstrata has a strong future, whether in combination with Glencore on acceptable terms or as a stand-alone entity, and that its shares represent an attractive long-term investment," it said.
Glencore met with Qatar in late June after the fund said an offer of 3.25 Glencore shares was "more appropriate."
At the same time, Xstrata moved to defuse objections from its own investors, some of whom criticized the 172.8 million pounds ($275 million) of retention payments it planned to pay 73 of its executives. They include CEO Davis, 54, who stands to receive 28.8 million pounds of shares over three years. The terms of the payments were altered on June 27, linking some of them to performance and converting the bonuses entirely to shares rather than cash.
Xstrata shareholders other than Glencore would hold 45 percent of the combined entity, to be known as Glencore Xstrata International Plc and listed in London and Hong Kong, the companies said in February. Its headquarters would be in Switzerland.
Xstrata is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS:US), JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM:US), Deutsche Bank AG and Nomura Bank International Plc as financial advisers. Glencore, which had agreed to pay Xstrata a so-called break fee of 298 million pounds should it withdraw the offer, tapped Citigroup Inc. (C:US) and Morgan Stanley. (MS:US) Qatar Holding has been advised by Lazard Ltd. (LAZ:US)

I have two accounts through VS. One that is PIF (and closed) with one 30-day late from dec 2007 and another that is open and current (no lates). I had to reapply and ended up with a new CC number rather than VS reinstating the original CC.
Should I bother sending VS a letter?
YOu can send, but if the prior derog is legit, the fact of opening another account is not a reason for deletion of the prior reporting of a legit derog.

It seems to me that most recruiters would agree that Master Vendors and Managed Agency Services are not the best example of how an agency service should be delivered.
Master Vendors gain business based on price and price alone. They may succeed in convincing their customers that service will not be affected, but in my experience of feedback from returning customers, this is not the case. Managed agency services dilute customer service, and by utilising online booking systems and…Continue

Microsoft will be the first console maker to launch a console in China since the government lifted its 14-year ban on home console systems in January of this year. Today Microsoft revealed that it plans to launch the console system on Sept. 23 for approximately $600, or ¥3,699 RMB.
Microsoft has partnered with China-based BesTV to manufacture and sell the system in the region. One of the conditions the government put on console makers is that the systems had to be manufactured in the country.
Reuters and the South China Morning Post (by way of GIGA OM) are reporting that at least four of Microsoft's offices in China have been raided by the Chinese government.
According to this Bloomberg report, Microsoft is planning to cut a number of jobs in its Xbox division as part of an overall restructuring plan. Two anonymous sources familiar with the situation have told Bloomberg that overall cuts could end up being the biggest number of layoffs since 2009 when the company laid off 5,800 employees.
Microsoft has denied a report coming from Digital Spy claiming that the company planned on canning the Xbox One's ability to double as a development kit for developers who want to create games for Xbox One. The report is based on comments made by the Xbox Advanced Technology Group's Martin Fuller, who said the company has no plans to implement the previously announced feature.
Sony Computer Entertainment president Andrew House said during a presentation at the Develop conference today that the company changed its 2013 E3 script at the last minute because of fan reaction to various missteps by Microsoft on a number of issues - particularly its stance on used games. House emphasized that it never changed its policies in response to Microsoft but it did tweak its E3 press conference presentation to highlight the PS4's strengths.
UK-based Dovetail Games announced that it has signed a global licensing deal with Microsoft to develop and publish all-new games based on Microsoft's popular flight simulation technology. The company said in a press release today that it is currently investigating new concepts in this area and is expecting to bring a release to market in 2015.
Dovetail Games also announced that it acquired the rights to distribute Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Gold Edition via Steam. The new release on Steam will be sold under the name, Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition.
On this week's show hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight talk about Nintendo president Satoru Iwata's health and being reelected by the company's board, a bunch of topics related to Electronic Arts, and whether Microsoft should bother selling the Kinect separately from the Xbox One. All this and more awaits in the latest episode of the Super PAC. Download Episode 104 now: SuperPAC Episode 104 (1 hour, 13 minutes) 84.1 MB.
Stephen Toulouse, the former policy and enforcement director at Xbox Live, is once again representing the Microsoft brand with his new job as director of Community Engagement on the upcoming Gears of War game for Xbox One. Toulouse actually joined Black Tusk Studios awhile ago, according to what he wrote on his personal blog.
Earlier this month, Microsoft gave consumers the option to buy the Xbox One without the Kinect for $399, a C-note of savings. Since then, GameStop reported a significant uptick in Xbox One sales.
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox at Microsoft says that separating the Kinect from Xbox One at retail will not drive game developers away from utilizing the device. Speaking to GII, Spencer said that Microsoft expects that the stand-alone Kinect will sell well and the success of the device and the software that uses it is heavily reliant on having a strong Xbox One install base.
Microsoft continues to refute that it is shutting Games For Windows Live down in July. In August of last year a support update on Xbox.com stated, "Games for Windows Live will be discontinued on July 1, 2014". That message was later removed and Microsoft has denied that it is shutting down the multiplayer service for PC games ever since.
Xbox head Phil Spencer says Microsoft will continue to create and release more games for the last-generation Xbox 360 because it is "obligated to support Xbox 360" for the remainder of its life cycle.
In an E3 interview with UK publication Metro, Spencer attempted to explain why the company isn't dropping all of its efforts to focus exclusively on boosting Xbox One's first-party lineup of games.
Microsoft hasn't been the best of friends with the PC gaming community over the last few years. While the company says that it has a lot of faith in the PC gaming space, you can always tell how strongly they feel about something by how much they highlight it at E3. And at this year's E3 Microsoft didn't even talk about PC games or show any that we know of.
Investment research firm Baird Equity Research has released a report related to E3, providing predications and opinions on the biggest players. One of the more interesting predictions is that Sony will preload digital copies of Bungie's Destiny and Blizzard's Diablo III beginning this fall. The firm says that this will be an optional thing for consumers. This "should drive higher sell-through for Activision, but at the cost of retail sales," the firm notes.
It's E3 week and Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, Sony and Nintendo are doing their damnedest to convince us to buy their stuff.
Earlier this week, Nintendo had a digital event announcing it's upcoming games while the other four hosted full press conferences. Who had the best show?
If you need a refresher, you can read our recaps here:
Reminder: You can watch the biggest E3 press conferences on Twitch, starting at 9:30 am PST (that's 12:30 pm EST) with Microsoft's big E3 event.
Later today Electronic Arts will host its press conference, followed by Ubisoft, and then way later in the evening Sony will host its event for the show.
The Electronics Entertainment Expo is next week and kicking it off is a round of press conferences where the biggest publishers will try and dazzle you with game announcements and spectacle in an attempt to win your dollars.
Of course, these presentations rarely go off without a hitch. Everything from technical failures such as Nintendo's Skyward Sword demo from 2011 or EA's Battlefield 4 false start last year to horrible hosts such as "Mr. Caffeine" from Ubisoft's 2011 presser and Jamie Kennedy who MC'd Activision's show in 2007.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says he has no intention of selling the Xbox business.
"I have no intent to do anything different with Xbox than we are doing today," Nadella told reporters at the Code Conference in California this week, according to The Verge.
Microsoft has announced the pricing and SKUs that it will offer when it launches the Xbox One in Japan on September 4. Two bundles will be available to Japanese gamers on September 4: one with the Kinect bundled in for 49,980 yen ($490) and one without the motion sensor device for 39,980 yen ($392).
According to the industrial designer who helped build the prototype for the Xbox One, the Kinect motion sensing camera was built into the device at one point. In an interview with Develop, Xbox industrial designer Carl Ledbetter said that the Kinect was once built into the Xbox One unit, but Microsoft ultimately rejected the idea because the system was too large.
Last week we asked our readers, "Will the Removal of the Kinect Help Xbox One Sales?" Half of voters said that the new Kinect-free version of Xbox One will in fact help the company close the sales gap between the Xbox One and the PS4, but that Microsoft will not be able to surpass Sony by the year's end.
On this week's show, hosts Andrew Eisen and E. Zachary Knight discuss whether the unbundling of the Kinect will help Xbox One sales, the NPD Group's latest report on core gamer trends, and ISPs threatening to take their ball and go home if net neutrality passes. Download Episode 99 now: SuperPAC Episode 99 (1 hour, 5 minutes) 75 MB.
Rare has suffered a number of high profile layoffs, which Microsoft is describing as part of a decision to change the "development process" at the UK studio. A little under 20 employees have been given pink slips, including veteran programmer Chris Sutherland and designer Gavin Price.
Sutherland, a twenty year veteran at Rare, has worked on such games as Battletoads, three Donkey Kong Country games, and the Banjo-Kazooie series. He also is the voice of Banjo-Kazooie.
Starting June 9th, gamers will be able to purchase the Xbox One without the Kinect for $399.99, the same price the PS4 currently retails for.
That should level the playing field a bit, no?
As of early April, Sony announced that it had sold more than 7 million units. Microsoft says Xbox One has sold more than 5 million. Will unbundling the Kinect help the Xbox One sell more consoles? Enough to catch the PS4 by the year's end?
Microsoft will offer refunds to Xbox Live Gold subscribers who want to cancel their membership when new service policies go into effect in June. The company said yesterday that Xbox Live users will no longer require a Gold subscription to access Netflix and other entertainment apps beginning next month. Gold will still be needed for online gaming and to benefit from promotions like Games with Gold on Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Following a June system update for Xbox One and Xbox 360, users will be able to request a refund on their Gold subscription, according to Microsoft:

If Congress fails to take action in support of America's trucking industry and its customers, the result will be significant increases in costs for companies across America and significant decreases in efficient distribution and transportation. Businesses and consumers will be worse off as a result of increased costs and decreased productivity. Unemployment will rise. Neither our economy nor our country can afford more of the same.
During the fly-in, NASSTRAC shippers met with aides of a number of legislators, including Congressmen Rep. Tim Walz (D-Minnesota), Tom Petri (R-Wisconsin), John Duncan Jr. (R-Tennessee); and Senators Richard Durbin (D-Illinois), John Rockefellar IV (D-West Virginia), Max Baucus (D-Montana), Barbara Boxer (D-California), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), and Alexander Lamar (R-Tennessee). My hope is that an initiative like this fly-in will help to motivate others in the industry to get involved in the dialogue. For more information, visit www.FreightAdvocacy.org.
The most critical trucking issues
Infrastructure.A long-term infrastructure investment plan is needed to relieve traffic congestion and allow goods to reach markets quicker and more efficiently. According to the National Association of Manufacturers, we lose 4.2 billion working hours each year due to traffic tie-ups. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce projects that over the next five years, the economy could experience as much as $336 billion in lost growth due to the poor or mediocre condition of roads and bridges. Investment in infrastructure will promote growth and create millions of jobs. NASSTRAC encourages legislators to support a multi-year bill with adequate funding to upgrade and expand our nation's highway infrastructure.
Hours of service.FMCSA is proposing to reduce truck driver hours of service despite the fact that highway fatality rates and truck crashes have reached record lows under current rules. FMCSA's flawed cost-benefit analysis exaggerates questionable safety benefits, underestimates costs, and shows little interest in the importance of trucking productivity to the economy. This change will result in lost wages for drivers, billions of dollars in lost productivity, significantly higher costs for trucking companies, and a negative impact on business depending upon JIT supply chains. NASSTRAC is asking Senators and House members to join more than 100 other legislators in writing FMCSA to oppose the counterproductive changes it has proposed to its current truck driver hours of service rules.
Extending regulation to manufacturers and distribution companies.FMCSA plans to ask Congress to extend FMCSA regulation to the manufacturing and distribution companies that ship and receive freight, and to intermediaries like brokers and forwarders. Its stated goal is to focus enforcement resources on the entire transportation lifecycle. FMCSA has neither the resources nor the expertise to tell NASSTRAC members and other, similar companies how to produce and distribute the goods transported by trucking companies. NASSTRAC is encouraging legislators to oppose this massive expansion of FMCSA's role in regulating America's businesses.
Truck size and weight reductions.Trucking industry productivity is at risk as competing bills in Congress address truck size and weight limitations. The Safe and Efficient Transportation Act would let states increase the current 80,000 lb truck weight limit, where appropriate, to 97,000 lbs with an additional axle and added wheels. It is opposed by railroads and safety advocates, both of whom want to force freight off trucks and onto trains. Railroads and their supporters are backing the Safe Highways and Infrastructure Protection Act (SHIPA), which would prohibit longer and heavier trucks on many roads where they now operate safely, and prohibit any increase in weight limits. NASSTRAC is encouraging legislators to support the Safe and Efficient Transportation Act and to oppose the SHIPA. wt

Abstract: Microproteinuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus from diagnosis. Martin P, Hampton KK, Walton C, Tindall H, Davies JA. University Department of Medicine, General Infirmary, Leeds, UK. Glomerular and tubular microproteinuria precede the development of overt nephropathy in Type 1 diabetes mellitus. However, in Type 2 diabetes urinary protein excretion and its relationship to diabetic nephropathy has not been clearly characterized. Twenty consecutive, newly diagnosed patients with Type 2 diabetes, whose urine was Albustix-negative and sterile on culture, were studied. Two timed overnight urine samples were collected at diagnosis, and after 2 months and 2 years, and excretion rates of albumin, alpha-1-microglobuli n and N-acetyl-beta-D-gluc osaminidase were calculated. HbA1c fell from 12.1 +/- 2.4% at diagnosis to 9.5 +/- 1.5% at 2 months and 9.6 +/- 2.2% at 2 years. Albumin excretion rate fell marginally from 6.5 (2.1-242.5) micrograms min-1 at diagnosis to 5.5 (1.7-274.0) micrograms min-1 at 2 months (p less than 0.05) rising again to 6.1 (1.9-201.7) micrograms min-1 at 2 years. alpha-1-Microglobuli n excretion rate fell from 13.5 (3.6-59.9) micrograms min-1 at diagnosis to 8.4 (2.9-16.1) micrograms min-1 at 2 months and 8.8 (1.8-54.1) micrograms min-1 at 2 years (both p less than 0.05). Albumin excretion rate was found to correlate significantly with creatinine clearance at diagnosis (rs = 0.61, p less than 0.005), though not subsequently. In contrast, excretion rates of alpha-1-microglobuli n and N-acetyl-beta-D-gluc osaminidase correlated with HbA1c (rs = 0.68 and 0.66, respectively, p less than 0.005 at diagnosis and rs = 0.57 and 0.53, p less than 0.05 subsequently in both cases).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) PMID: 1692521 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

We do so much of our communicating over email, through social networks and with our phones. It makes it easy to quickly deliver words of thanks, birthday wishes and get wells, but to me, the words don't feel as meaningful if they don't come inside a lovely card. This year, I've committed myself to making and sending more cards. Each month I will tackle a different reason or occasion for a card, and hopefully inspire you to do the same. Isn't it always a thrill to receive something special in your mailbox? Doesn't it make you feel good?
I thought I would start off by creating a set of note cards so I can have a few on hand to say a quick "thank you" or "hello". This set was inspired by the Crazy Quilts my grandmother created. Her quilts were made from random bits and pieces of fabric she collected and saved. Her use of color was odd, but always extraordinary.
There are many quilters in my family, but I've never felt I've had the sewing skills or precision to take on such a project. I feel much more comfortable and in control when working with paper. I certainly understand the appeal of gathering fabrics and playing with patterns and color - this card set mimics this process.
Begin by cutting several five-inch squares with your favorite Fiskars paper trimmer. Randomly run over-lapping stripes of washi tape across the squares. Trim away the excess with a detail knife.
Cut an assortment of 5" squares from coordinating patterned paper with your paper trimmer.
Neatly stack four squares and place them on your cutting board. Use your detail knife and ruler to cut random triangles and shapes from this square stack. Work precisely, and after each cut you make, re-align the stack. If you don't take the time to do this, when you reassemble the squares, your pieces won't fit neatly back together.
When you've completed cutting up your stack of, take a couple of pieces from each color and pattern, and reassemble the squares.
Next, cut a 5" x 10" piece of cardstock. Mount two of these squares side by side on the cardstock using paper glue. Once the glue has dried, fold your card in half and crease the seam.
Create several sets of these. With each edition, mix up the papers and try cutting new patterns.
It's always nice to have a place to display the cards you receive, so I created this simple display, too!
Take an old wooden picture frame, and run a row of thumbtacks, two inches apart, along the vertical sides. Don't push them in too deep yet, leave a small gap between the tack head and the wood.
Select a spool of sturdy twine or string, and tie the end to one of the top thumbtacks. Zigzag the string across the frame back and around the thumbtacks, working your way down the frame. When you reach bottom, tie off your string around the last tack and push the tacks deeply into the frame.
Hang your cards over the strings and secure with a tiny clothespin or clip. Sit back, enjoy the cards you received, and think of the people that sent them and the words they shared inside.

I'LL SUFFER NO LONGER; Her friend killed Ashley is going herself after years of torment - now to fight back for all bullied children.
THESE should be the happiest days of Ashley Evans' life. But the devastating effect of bullying has turned her teenage years to misery.
Later this month, children across Scotland will return to the classroom after the summer break.
Many will be looking forward to seeing their friends again and embarking on a new term.
But for Ashley, 15, the new school year signals the start of yet another crushing round of mental and psychological torture at the hands of bullies.
Ashley was a close friend of Nicola Raphael, the 15-year-old who killed herself in June this year.
Nicola was bullied because she wore black Gothic-style clothing and dark make-up.
The tormented teenager was found unconscious on her bed at her Kirkintilloch home after she had crept downstairs in the night to take her mother's painkillers.
She was rushed to hospital, but died after spending a night on a life-support machine.
Like Nicola, Ashley has suffered years of abuse and bullying.
She admits she has learned very little at school because of the constant stress the teasing has caused. And for years she has gone to bed on a Sunday night full of dread and apprehension.
Although Ashley has been attacked by school pupils and has had objects thrown at her, the bullying is mostly verbal. But it is also relentless.
She has been tormented by her fellow pupils about everything from the colour of her vivid red hair to her weight.
At one point, the bullying got so bad that Ashley refused to go to school for two weeks.
In short, her young life has been made a misery.
SHE says: "I've been bullied for as long as I remember. For the first few years, it was just name-calling. I got called 'anorexic' because I'm slim and 'ginger freak' because of my red hair.
"Then they started saying they were going to murder me. Nobody was prepared to help me. A lot of my friends deserted me because they were scared they were going to get bullied, too, and I was left feeling very alone.
"It all came to a head last year when they started to threaten to 'kick my head in' on my way home.
"I just couldn't take any more. I felt there was no point in going to school because nobody was there to help me.
"My mum complained to the police, but that only made matters worse. I started getting even more abuse.
"And when I mentioned what had been happening at school, teachers said that it was just 'tittle-tattle' and I should expect that sort of thing.
"So in the end, I stopped reporting it because I felt no-one wanted to deal with the problem."
She adds: "Bullying ruins people's lives. I've seen that for myself. Why can't people just live and let live?"
Thousands of youngsters are bullied in Britain. In a 12-month period, ChildLine received more than 22,000 calls from bullied children.
And a recent study by education psychologist Sonia Sharp showed that one child in every two is bullied.
Ashley will turn 16 next week. And she will have just one wish when she blows out the candles on her birthday cake - that bullying will stop.
She believes the bullies are oblivious to the effect they have had on her.
But the brave youngster is determined not to suffer in silence forever.
She has been learning how to defend herself and now takes martial arts classes six times a week.
She says: "I tried to do something about the bullying from day one. After school, I approached some of the girls involved and asked them why they were doing this to me.
"They denied they had been doing anything because apparently they 'liked' me.
"The bullying died down for a while and for a short time I started to feel I could get my life back on track. But the bullying soon started again.
"My friends and I used to sit on a school bench at break times. Then another crowd came along and thought it would be funny to throw crisps over me and my friends.
"That went on for months - we had crisps, crisp packets and any rubbish they could get their hands on thrown at us.
"So last summer, I started doing martial arts classes. Now I do Jeet Kune Do, Savate, Muay Thai Boxing and Kali Silat and at least I feel I could defend myself if I had to."
LAST month, Ashley took a further stand against bullying when she went online to offer advice and help to other victims of playground torment.
She set up a website and email address and invited bullied children too afraid to tell an adult to write in with their experiences.
She has been inundated with messages and now intends to compile figures from the emails to launch an anti-bullying campaign in a bid to force the Scottish Parliament and her local authority to take action.
She says: "I was amazed at how many people wrote to me with their stories - and just how many people are being bullied.
"I have a lot of friends who are also being bullied, but are too frightened to tell anybody in case things get worse."
Ashley's mum Barbara, 44, is also planning to take action to highlight the problem and help prevent other children suffering in the future.
Mother and daughter both know that bullying is hard to prove, but Barbara plans to sue education bosses at East Dunbartonshire Council for failing to protect her daughter from bullies.
And she wants to see head teachers build an anti-bullying programme into every school.
Barbara, who checks in with Ashley twice a day on her mobile phone to check she is okay and also meets her at the school gates to walk her home, says: "The bullying has had a devastating effect on our lives.
"Ashley's school grades have suffered. She was always a quiet, attentive child, but now instead of concentrating on her school work, she is constantly watching her back.
"So many times I've thought about Nicola and thought that it could have been Ashley who killed herself."
She adds: "We would move away if I felt bullying wouldn't happen elsewhere, but I can't guarantee that.
"If the government doesn't fund an anti-bullying campaign and doesn't admit there is a problem, how will it ever stop?
"Because it's not going to go away or die down. And when school starts again this month, it's going to start all over again."
TODAY, Ashley launches a signature campaign in Nicola's memory.
She feels few people acknowledge the importance of involving children in drawing up anti-bullying strategies and is calling on the Scottish Executive to sit up and take notice.
She says: "I will never forget hearing that Nicola had died. She told me she was being bullied, but I had no idea how much it was affecting her deep down and I had no idea it would come to this.
"People are being bullied for silly things. For example, if they wear glasses, they get called names. But really, bullies are doing it just to hide their own inadequacies.
"Nicola got full cans of Coke thrown at her and was called a 'freak' and a 'stupid Goth' among other things.
"But it didn't stop at the school gates. Nicola got chased on her way to and from school and she even had bricks thrown at her. It was just constant abuse."
Ashley adds: "Nicola's death was a waste of a life, but I want to make sure people learn from what happened to her.
"I am appealing to anyone out there who is being bullied to tell someone about it.
"We mustn't let these weak, sad individuals ruin our lives like they destroyed my friend Nicola's."
For more details, log on to www.stopbullying.sitekit.net or email Ashley at bullies@ evansb97.fsnet.co.uk.
How notes of support from victims prove bullying is a problem that must be tackled
It angers me when I read that someone has killed themselves due to the abuse that many of us receive. I think what you are doing is great, by the way.
It shouldn't take a death to bring such a large problem to the attention of East Dunbartonshire council or the Scottish Parliament. I think you are right to stand up for what you think is right and I'm sure Nicola would've been proud of you for facing these people and actually making a difference to some people's lives.
I have returned to school and learned to get on with my life. But the bullying still remains in my life. It has never disappeared. I hope you get on well with your campaign. Bullying is a real issue and shouldn't be swept under the carpet.
I believe it's not only the responsibility of the parents to ensure that children grow up knowing the value of compassion and understanding when socialising with other people. It's also the responsibility of school teachers to do the same and not to just pretend everything is fine.
What happened to Nicola was a terrible incident that made me rage with anger inside. A harmless human being killed herself all because of the way people slagged her for the way she was dressing. It isn't fair for this to happen. So it's great that you are standing up for all bully victims. It's something that I feel very strongly about.
I think it's really great what you are doing. Not many people stand up to bullies. Even though I didn't know your friend, it was upsetting to hear what had happened.

18 senators oppose PIPA, hearings for SOPA in February
by Jim Sterling
Despite cynicism and criticism from some corners of the Web, one can safely say that yesterday's blackout protests against SOPA and PIPA were highly successful. A number of news outlets around the world finally started covering these bills for the first time, and a clear statement was sent.
A statement so clear, in fact, that the malicious Protect IP Act (PIPA) lost the support of eighteen senators over the course of yesterday, seven of which were actual co-sponsors of the bill!
As Wikipedia and 75,000 other sites went dark, there was a game-specific victory. TIGA -- the British equivalent of the ESA -- voiced its opposition to the bills. Nice to see there's one game industry trade organization with a shred of decency.
Of course, it's not over. SOPA's chosen champion, Lamar Smith, got really pissy about the protests. He called them a "publicity stunt" and promised that the previously shelved SOPA hearings would go ahead in February. It would seem his pride has gotten the best of him and he's doing what he can to force SOPA into law now.
The protests went great though. The Internet rocks!view full story + comments

Awakened: Who Do You Want To Be?
by Jim Sterling
Awakened has caught some eyes since Phosphor Games rose from the ashes of Midway and turned a canceled game into a living, breathing project. The game is about creating your own protagonist with unique super powers, and it's already captured our imagination. There's no denying the ambition on display.
Many outlets have contacted Phosphor to know more, but Destructoid has the scoop. We were very lucky to chat with the team about their new game, as well as nab a selection of the latest screenshots.

and astrophysics in the intellectual enterprise of astrobiology," in particular on the words "augment" and "integrate." It understood "augment" as an instruction to find issues in astronomical/astrobiological research where fruitful work could be done that is not now being done. The integration of interdisciplinary research topics is relevant to all the areas of astrobiology research, not just with respect to astronomy. The topic stimulated broad interest on the part of all the committee members and led to some generic—but, the committee believes, important—recommendations designed to facilitate interdisciplinary research.
The discussions about the charge led to the committee's specific approach to the study and to the structure of the report. Seven tasks were identified:
Outline current astronomical research relevant to astrobiology.
Define important areas that are relatively understudied and hence in need of more attention and support.
Address the means to integrate astrophysical research into the astrobiology enterprise.
Identify areas where there can be especially fruitful collaboration among astrophysicists, biologists, chemists, biochemists, planetary geologists, and planetary scientists that will serve the goals of astrobiological research.
Identify areas of astronomy that are likely to remain remote from the astrobiological enterprise.
Suggest areas where ongoing research sponsored by NSF, the Department of Energy (DOE), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) can augment NASA support of astrobiological research and education in a manner that complements the astronomical interconnection with other disciplines.
Where applicable, point out the relevance to NASA missions.
Astrophysical research is a vital part of astrobiology today, especially with the addition of the NASA Astrobiology Institute (NAI) nodes that are primarily focused on astrophysics. This report identifies still more areas where astrophysical research can contribute to astrobiology, including the galactic environment, cosmic irradiation in its myriad forms, bolide impacts, interstellar and circumstellar chemistry, prebiotic chemistry, and photosynthesis and molecular evolution in an astronomical context.
Astronomy brings two important perspectives to the study of astrobiology. One is to encourage thinking in a nonterracentric way. The opportunities are vast for different conditions to produce different outcomes for life, even within the standard paradigm of carbon-based life with a nucleotide-based coding system. The ambient conditions could be different—hotter, colder, more radiation or less—and the coding system could be different. It will be a challenge to discern the most important convergent processes when the details of overwhelmingly complex life are different. The other perspective that astronomy brings to astrobiology is that the astronomical environment—from the host star, to the ambient interstellar gas through which a planetary system passes in its galactic journey, to cosmic explosions—is intrinsically variable. The dominant driver of this variability is probably the host star, which is likely to be susceptible to violent chromospheric activity and nearly continuous flares when it is young or if its mass is less than that of the Sun, the most likely situation. Life in an intrinsically variable environment raises deep and interesting issues of fluctuating mutation rates, genetic variation processes, and the evolution of complexity—and even of evolvability itself. Some of these issues overlap with topics being pursued in biomedical research.
This study attempts to identify areas where astrophysical research can fruitfully interact with research in the other disciplines of astrobiology: biology, geology, and chemistry. It also identifies some broad

Candy, kids, and spooks are the theme Friday. And it's no trick that 30 million children and adults have diabetes in the U.S. according to the Centers for Disease Control.
The American Diabetes Association is offering a month of healthy lifestyle activities to help stop diabetes.
Robyn Webb is a nutritionist, Food Editor and author of "The Diabetes Comfort Food Cookbook".
She said one way to avoid the Halloween sugar coma is to get kids involved in making healthy foods.
"Kids can get involved. They're going to participate with their family in making delicious foods," Webb said, "And they're going to get to see how healthy food can taste great, that they don't need all the Halloween candy, and all of the other things that happen during the holidays."
Webb said it's important for family members to support each other especially when a loved one has diabetes or prediabetes.
She said holidays don't have to be difficult for people with diabetes and she says, sticking to a health diet doesn't mean you have to skip tasty treats.
"People who have diabetes in their family, it's really important that everyone gets on board and supports the person that does have diabetes.," Webb said, "And make sure if you are in a family of people that do have diabetes get yourself checked as well."
Webb said for foods that aren't healthy, she recommends eating smaller portions.
"It's never about depriving people of what they want to have it's about intelligently rearranging their food so that it is healthy and it certainly will meet all of their needs to manage their diabetes," Webb said.
