Fort Ancient is North America's largest prehistoric Indian hilltop enclosure earthwork and is a place to explore 15,000 years of American Indian heritage and history in Ohio.
Fort Ancient State Memorial is Ohio's first state park. On April 28, 1890, the Ohio General Assembly passed Senate Bill 308 providing funds to purchase Fort Ancient for the State of Ohio. In April 1891, the legislature authorized Ohio Archeological and Historical Society (now the Ohio History Connection) to care for the site. Soon after acquiring the property, it was discovered that the 180 acres purchased did not include the entire earthworks, only the central section. It took the State of Ohio 18 years to purchase additional tracts. The state was in competition with the Fort Ancient Hotel Company, which wanted the land to establish a summer resort within the earthwork. The State of Ohio and the Historical Society finally won out and purchased the earthworks in 1908, although they paid more than double the per acre cost compared to the 1890 purchase. In 1908, E. O. Randall, editor of the Ohio History Journal celebrated the success:
The Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society is to be heartily congratulated over the final accomplishment of its efforts, ex-tending through many years, of securing entire possession of Fort Ancient. It has been a long and stubborn siege, with many vicissitudes and delays and discouragements, but the last walls of the enclosure have finally been taken and the Society now "holds the fort."
In 1966, Fort Ancient became nationally recognized when it was named a National Historic Landmark. Fort Ancient State Memorial continues to be owned by the Ohio History Connection, but is now managed by the Dayton Society of Natural History.
The significance of ancient Ohio earthworks has garnered Ohio international attention. In 2008, nine Ohio earthworks were selected by the United States Department of the Interior for inclusion on the United States' Tentative List of sites to be submitted to United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) for inscription on the prestigious World Heritage List. If it is eventually inscribed on the World Heritage List, Ohio's earthworks will join the ranks of the Pyramids of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, the Taj Mahal in India—all of which are World Heritage sites. World Heritage status has the potential to elevate local and international awareness about the site's value, further encourage communities to protect and invest in their preservation, and increase potentially beneficial tourism to the site.

From the NYSun:
A deputy prime minister of Iraq yesterday offered a sharp contradiction of the conventional wisdom here that Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Al Qaeda had no connection before the 2003 war, flatly contradicting a recent report from the Senate's intelligence committee.
In a speech in which he challenged the belief of war critics that Iraqis' lives are now worse than under Saddam Hussein, Barham Salih said, "The alliance between the Baathists and jihadists which sustains Al Qaeda in Iraq is not new, contrary to what you may have been told." He went on to say, "I know this at first hand. Some of my friends were murdered by jihadists, by Al Qaeda-affiliated operatives who had been sheltered and assisted by Saddam's regime."
A Kurdish politician who took his high school exams from inside a Baathist prison, Mr. Salih said he was the target of the alliance between jihadists, Baathists, and Al Qaeda in 2001, when a group known as Ansar al-Islam tried to assassinate him.

text: I just wanted to share a Steelers experience with everyone... A few years ago, back when I was in high school we had a group of exchange students come over for a year. The one was from Germany, more specifically outside Nurenberg. So he joined the swim team which I was a member off. So I helped him out with his breastroke and we ended up becoming pretty good friends. His host family actually took him to a Steeler Game. He came back about a few months ago just before the season... He had been keeping up with the Steelers after he went back home. When he came back over he traded me a FC Nurenberg soccer jersey for a white Roethlisberger one. We went to training camp a few days while he was here also and I explained alot of the offseason stuff to him that doesnt happen in German sports. Like the draft and what not. So when it came time for him to write a graduation paper (20 pages) this year, he picked the NFL as a topic. More specifically the Draft. He also had parties for the Denver and Colts games (they didnt get the Cincy game there). And he is having his own superbowl party with friends even though it will be the middle of the night there. Its no longer Steeler Nation it's The Steeler World... :helmet:

Re: Count of all the rows
COUNT is a UDF that takes in a Bag and outputs a Double.
Relations are not Bags, so that's one way of thinking about it. But of course, we could have coerced the syntax to make it work. I like to think of it as such: A foreach is a transformation on the rows of a relation. Thus, applying COUNT directly to a relation doesn't make any sense, since you're doing an aggregate transformation. This is why grouping is necessary. you're putting all of the rows of the relation into one row (with the catch-all key "all"), so that you can run a function on them. Don't know if that helps. 2012/8/29 Mohit Anchlia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Thanks! Why is grouping necessary?

On Sunday's "Meet the Press," GOP presidential soon-to-be also-ran Rick Santorum dismissed frontrunner Mitt Romney's snowballing delegate count, declaring, "This isn't a mathematical formula." Later that day he told a Fox News reporter, "It's pathetic isn't it? I mean, now you're gonna make the argument, 'I should be president' because of math."
Actually, what isn't mathematical about the delegate accrual process?
Presidential primary nomination season is rife with mathematical calculations. Each state boasts its own complicated apportionment formula, ranging from mostly proportional to quasi-proportional to winner-take-all. Savvy campaign managers earn big bucks planning winning strategies for accumulating the requisite number of delegates. Campaign tacticians create sophisticated statistical models to predict state, district, and citywide outcomes and to plot contingency routes for reaching a majority of delegates. Campaign finance staff forecast revenue from donations, estimate advertising costs, and manage a budget equivalent to that of a midsized company.
What does Santorum think is going to happen after his failure to clinch the nomination: that God will intervene and change the laws of mathematics for him?
What's "pathetic," to use Santorum's term, is entering a process that requires careful strategizing, precise calculation, and detailed attention to trends on the ground—and then waving it all away, expecting one's good intentions to carry the day. How else can one explain the Santorum campaign's idiotic failure to get on the ballot in multiple Ohio and Illinois districts, and its absence from the Virginia ballot?
Politics demands shrewdness, some crassness, a focus on the bottom line. If that's not your cup of tea, fine—there are many other noble professions to pursue that don't involve calculating how the public will react to your every move and utterance. But don't get into politics and expect to be able to brush off pesky annoyances like arithmetic.
But back to the math: To win the GOP nomination, Romney must earn 47% of the remaining delegates; his average to date is 55%. Santorum must earn 64% of the remaining delegates; his average is 26%. That means that Santorum must more than double the share of delegates he's taken in, from now until the last primary on June 26 in Utah. And he must start now, at the very point in his campaign when he's losing momentum like a car that's run over a bear trap.
Santorum supporters claim the race is about to shift decisively in his favor, after upcoming primaries in conservative Southern states Mississippi and Alabama. Yet Santorum is in third place in both states, trailing badly behind Romney and Gingrich. How's that Southern strategy working out for you, Rick?
Santorum isn't even really pretending he can win 1,144 delegates anymore. He's mostly trying to keep Romney from doing so, hoping for a brokered convention in which he can twist enough arms to hand him the nomination against the wishes of a plurality of GOP primary voters.
Santorum is offended by the slow, plodding, methodical work needed to build widespread support and legitimacy among a broad base of the electorate. He's resting his hopes on swaying huge masses of emotional, uncommitted delegates at the GOP convention in August. Blindly grasping at possibilities, he's praying for uncertainty, chaos, a wrench in the system. Even then, he hasn't logically determined how he can win a brokered convention.
Santorum's nomination strategy is about a step up in sophistication from Al Gore's 2000 post-election day gamble.
Even when Santorum's campaign flirts with math, it invokes, not a priori calculation and strategy, but post hoc rationalization and selective interpretation. See, for example, this embarrassingly rosy-cheeked recent campaign memo.
When comparing himself to Romney, Santorum attacks the very concept of math, as if it offends him, just as his recent "snob" comment denigrated the idea of college. The Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin observed, "When you campaign against math and logic and tout your lack of money as a reason for voters to flock to you, you should take a breather and reflect on what you are doing."
For the record, nobody ever said the nomination was all about math. Despite the dastardly competence of his campaign staff, Romney wouldn't have secured a solid footing in the GOP nomination process if his views had been repugnant and destructive. (Securing the Democratic nomination with repugnant and destructive views—now that's another story.) When Romney says it's all about math, he means the current stage of the nomination process, not the early stage when voters are forming their views of the candidates.
Romney isn't arguing that he should be nominated because of math—he's arguing that he will be nominated, because he engaged in the preparatory work to establish a winning candidacy, and has appealed to enough voters in strategically sound locations to establish a path to victory. If Santorum doesn't like that, then he should have gotten his ground game together a lot earlier, not waited and then complained about sour grapes.
Rejecting math won't help Santorum, and if it keeps forcing Romney to spend money in an extended primary season, it may hurt Republicans. As one recent Romney campaign memo put it, "As the other candidates attempt to ignore the basic principles of math, the only person's odds of winning they are increasing are Barack Obama's."

Icecream17-I love watching television shows that showcase medical examiners, but I don't think I could do that job. My hat goes off to those that do.
Forensic science is a large field that touches on the law enforcement and scientific communities. A forensic technician, for example, works in a lab that analyzes the data that was picked up at the crime scene.
The forensic DNA is analyzed in order to determine who the victim was and who the suspect could be. DNA evidence is very specific because they often study the bonds which are very unique. This is why DNA is usually very definitive.
However, if the DNA evidence was degraded by say factors of the sun or water, the percentage of accuracy should still be high, but it will not be as conclusive as a freshly found sample. This is why crime scenes are sealed off right away.

Effexor Xr Night Sweats?
Posted 21 May 2011 - 11:18 PM
Posted 21 May 2011 - 11:50 PM
I don't take Effexor, but I have heard that many SSRI's and SNRI's do this. I've taken Cymbalta for about two years, and I occasionally have night sweats. At first I figured it was just an activation side effect, and that it would eventually go away; for the most part, it has, but there are nights I wake up drenched. Most antidepressants increase the chance of overheating, which causes your body to compensate by sweating and other thermoregulation mechanisms. With your dramatic increase in dose, it's possible that your night sweats are a temporary effect. You don't seem to be terribly worried about it, as I wouldn't be either. If it continues or becomes intolerable, talk to your doctor. I would wait atleast 2-3wks for your body to accomodate the daily 75mg dose.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.
realize what you have, and all you could lose
Posted 22 May 2011 - 08:30 PM
Basically, if it helps and the side effect is tolerable, stick with it; if it's really bad and doesn't ease up, check with the doc about other options.
Good luck! :)
Posted 31 May 2011 - 02:30 PM
Has anyone had night sweats on Effexor XR? I've been on it about 3.5 weeks and recently went up in dose from 3.5 mg to 75 mg. I wake up in the night and the whole back of my head is usually damp with sweat, but the rest of my body seems pretty dry. It's weird. Anyone have a similar experience, and does it go away??
I´m currently taking 300 mg of Effexor XR and I didn´t experience such thing. Side effects for me palliate over time. Are you taking anything else?
— Ernest Hemingway
Posted 04 June 2011 - 01:05 PM
I've just started taking Effexor and i know where you're coming from with the sweats. It doesnt happen every night to me but when it does its strange because its winter where I am now. I also have terrible twiching and extremely vivid dreams which scare me sometimes. Does anyone know if this will stop?
Posted 04 June 2011 - 01:18 PM
These start up effects are troublesome. But there is a every reason to believe that they will subside in due time.

Thanks everyone, and no I am not taking anything else. I seem to overheat easier since taking Effexor, but thankfully I'm not sweating horribly every night. I too get twitches sometimes and my dreams have been more unsettling lately. Hopefully these things will pass soon.

Rui was abducted to Japan by his mother in June, 2010.
This website is dedicated with love to my son, Louis Samuel Prager.
Child abduction is a crime from which no child has ever emerged unscathed. Abductions are psychological murder. And if we allow them, the U.S. and Japanese governments will continue to sidestep the tensions which this human rights atrocity brings into the relationship between our two countries. I believe that the relationship between Japan and the United States can only be improved in the long-term by efforts to resolve this crisis and put an end to Japan's state sponsorship of child abduction.
A deep, one might say, revolutionary change must occur in order for children to begin to have their rights respected, and for global institutions to become globally responsive to them. Child abduction makes a child's life emotionally chaotic, lurching forward as recklessly as a runaway train.

It may be a 10-year battle to reverse the Conservative government's omnibus Bill C-45, but some in Kamloops vow to fight no matter how long it takes.
Hundreds of Idle No More protestors rallied at various points across Canada during a day of action on Monday, including Parliament Hill as MPs returned from their winter break.
In Kamloops, the assemblies were smaller but no less determined.
At 6:30 p.m. as Blazers hockey fans streamed into the Interior Savings Centre, about 50 Niskonlith Band members participated in a flash mob out front of the with signs declaring "Idle No More" and "Water is Life."
Meanwhile, about 35 locals gathered at the Smorgasbord Deli on Seventh Avenue to listen to Michelle Good, a Kamloops lawyer whose great great grandfather helped negotiate Treaty 6 in Saskatchewan.
Bill C-45 includes a clause that amends a constitutionally protected right of First Nations, and that will be the basis for a constitutional challenge, said Good.
However that challenge will almost certainly take a decade to get through the legal system, she said.
She implored the crowd to get educated on the 400-plus page omnibus bill and not to relent in their fight.
Good also emailed a strongly worded letter demanding answers from Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod.
In response, she received dissatisfying assurances that the bill does not remove environmental protections as well as a thick backgrounder document.
"We shouldn't be trying to prove to them that it's harmful," said Good. "They should be trying to prove to us it's not. They work for us."
Good also wasn't impressed that it took McLeod two weeks to answer her email.
"If (McLeod) is so gung ho about this bill she should be anxious to answer questions," said Good.
She received the response on Monday.
"I'm sorry to hear that you're dissatisfied with our government," replied McLeod along with the backgrounder document.
Good says she will review the document and provide her analysis in the coming days. Meanwhile she implored those gathered not to relent on the pressure.
The crowd eagerly added their contact information to a list circulating the cafÉ so they could get involved.
However one individual said he was perturbed by the lack of young faces in the crowd. A handful of youthful individuals arrived late and left early.
Otherwise the average age appeared to hover around 50 years old.
Good was not discouraged.
There are armies of young people involved, she said, and that's all thanks to social media.
"I've been an activist since I was 18 years old and I am just gobsmacked by Idle No More."

Get AccessAbstract
Data on the nests built by chimpanzees were collected in Equatorial Guinea and Senegal. A post-hoc comparison was made on six variables common to both sets of data, and where possible, the effects of season and type of habitat were also compared. The only variable which was not found to differ significantly was the minimum distance between nests. More effects both of season and type of habitat were found in Senegal than in Equatorial Guinea. This is attributed to the marked seasonality and more variable vegetation in the former site. It was concluded that all the differences found in nest-building could be explained by environmental factors and although learning seems to be involved, it remains for further investigation to demonstrate how this might give rise to cultural variation in nest-building.

Best spots for a picnic on Ko Pha Ngan
Sometimes when you're travelling, you just want a meal on your own — you want the freedom of choosing your own ingredients, putting it all together and savouring it in the lovely setting of your choice. The key to a good picnic can be finding just the right spot (well, good food and company help too, but that's up to you). So we've put together a list of Ko Pha Ngan's best spots for a picnic, from waterfalls, to beaches, and, well, more beaches.
Haad Saikantang
Also known as Leela Beach, Haad Saikantang is ultra-popular with travellers in the know — it's just right for those who wish to be close to the fun of Haad Rin, but who don't want to stay on the overcrowded beach. Haad Saikantang is a beautiful, serene beach just 10 minutes' walk from Haad Rin. Walk to the far end of the beach, and you'll see a wooden walkway along the rocks. Follow it along until you find a wooden pavilion that must have been made with picnics in mind. The view is of the entire beach, and miles upon miles of ocean. This is our pick for the best picnic spot on all of Ko Pha Ngan.
Haad Son
Haad Son is home to a rocky cliff area that's flat on top, which a nearby hotel has cleverly done up with huge hammocks and a thatched roof, giving it a perfect holiday allure. If the tide is high enough (please double check!), it's possible to jump off the cliff into the crystal waters below. On dry land, this is another idyllic picnic spot. Be sure to order drinks from the bar across the bridge to keep them happy with you enjoying yourself on what is probably (though it's not clear) their property.
Malibu Beach
This beach is located in Ao Chaloklum, in the northern part of the island. It's a wide stretch of private beach with its own bay that looks out onto Chaloklum's harbour. Rumour has it that the soft white sand is imported; possibly they also brought with them the sand flies, which can be hardly noticeable, but can also leave nasty bites that last for a week. Spray yourself well with repellent first! Here, it's not necessary to bring your own food — there is a Thai restaurant on-site where you can buy dishes and eat them anywhere on the beach, and drinks are available in abundance. This is a great place to spend an afternoon.
Phaeng Waterfall
If you'd like to try something different, head to one of Ko Pha Ngan's many waterfalls with your picnic basket. Phaeng waterfall in the island's centre is one of the most popular off-beach hangout spots. It's a bit of a hike to get to, but a fantastic venue for enjoying a meal, in between dips in the cool, fresh water.

Great round up! Haad Son looks like a particularly fun afternoon.
Any recommendations for a good Ko Pha Ngan market with all the necessary picnic fixings?

Yep! There's Tesco Lotus and Big C in Thong Sala (where the pier is). Both good, large groceries stores with a decent assortment of goodies.

Mortgage Borrowers Who Refinance Are Lowering Debt
Recent data show that consumers generally are shedding debt – and lowering or paying down their mortgages is just another way they're doing it. Between 2007 and the fourth quarter of 2010, mortgage debt declined more than $400 billion, according to the Federal Reserve Board.
With mortgage rates in the four percent range (the likes of which haven't been seen in more than 50 years), many borrowers have refinanced their mortgages.
Our recent analysis showed that three out of four homeowners who refinanced their first-lien home mortgages in the first quarter of this year, either maintained about the same loan amount or lowered their principal balance by paying-in additional money at the closing table. Fifty-four percent of them maintained about the same loan amount, the highest share since 1985, when Freddie Mac began keeping records on refinancing patterns. In addition, 21 percent of these homeowners reduced their principal balance.
We found that the typical borrower reduced their interest rate about 1.2 percentage points by refinancing during the first quarter. For a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with a $200,000 loan balance, that's a monthly payment savings of about $150.
A smaller number of borrowers who refinanced, 25 percent, took "cash-out" and increased their loan balance by at least five percent. The average cash-out share over the past 25 years was 62 percent.
A second Freddie Mac report found that in the first quarter of 2011, fixed-rate loans accounted for more than 95 percent of refinanced loans. This limited use of adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) is a shift from a few years ago when ARMs were often used for refinance.
In addition, an increasing share of refinancing borrowers chose to shorten their loan terms at the end of last year. Of borrowers who paid off a 30-year fixed-rate loan, 34 percent opted for a 15- or 20-year loan, the highest such share since the first quarter of 2004. Part of the attraction for such borrowers, of course, is that shorter-term loans have a lower interest rate.
In this tight economy, it's clear that many homeowners are seeking a little extra peace of mind when it comes to their finances. By choosing a refinance option that reduces their mortgage principal and/or shortens the term of their loan, they will not only worry less, but will pay less for their mortgage over the long term.
* Frank Nothaft left his position with Freddie Mac in January 2015

Trans Tasman Test History
Attached is the collection of results of test matches played between New Zealand and Australia commencing with the first test being held at South Melbourne Cricket ground in 1985. These records trace the history of the Trans Tasman battles and how after two series New Zealand had failed to defeat Australia.
However on Saturday 12th November 1988, New Zealand scored what could only be described as a defeat for Australia, a nil all draw in the first game of the Mens Open division. The jubilation of the New Zealand players saw them phoning the results back home within minutes of the completion of the game.
But, it wasn't until Saturday 8th May 1993 that New Zealand scored its first test victory over Australia. Who can remember Australia leading two - nil, then New Zealand coming back to lead three - two when the hooter sounded. The wild scenes of triumph overshadowed what was still happening on the field. The ball had not gone dead and New Zealand's quick thinking saw them run the length of the field to record a four - two conquest of Australia.
One would have thought that that was enough excitement for one day but alas two hours later the Mens Open team recorded their first ever victory over Australia by winning one - nil and securing the Trans Tasman Trophy which they held until 1997.
What an unforgettable evening was the 21st June 1997 when the deciding game of the series came down to the ninth match played that day and the final result only coming minutes before full time. It was Touch at it's best!
There have been many heroes and villains ... and undoubtedly many more to follow. Enjoy the read.

Homecoming day was just like any other day except for the pep rally, the football game, my halftime performance in the JV game, the winners of the elections, and the day before the homecoming dance.
The pep rally went great during both lunches, the JV game performance was even better, and my parents came to watch me perform at my JV game. I enjoyed it.
When I saw you the first time...
I swear...
I heard some music chime.
The song of the angels flowing down,
putting glistening sunshine on your head...
A crown.
The perfect ruler for my body,
the perfect person for my habits...
so naughty.
What can I say?
This love, when I see you I feel it everyday.
When I first saw you, the music... so good.
It made me go down under...
Close my eyes, the sweet interlude.
Your eyes, so perfect, so true...
and your lips and body, too.
I just can't say enough about you..
Who you are, what you do.
Baby, I couldn't see you go.

I liked him first,
but that doesn't matter.
I still like him,
but that doesn't matter, either.
I pretended to myself that it was okay,
but that doesn't matter anymore.
Nothing matters and everything feels wrong, as though I've been amputated. Like I still feel that phantom limb but there's a huge void and it eats me whole and I am lonely and alone.
He hurt me,
but that doesn't matter.
I hurt him too,
but that doesn't matter either.
I was just too fucked up and lost and he didn't care anymore.
The word always is just a fucking lie.
But that doesn't matter anymore.

I want to want things again, I want to want beauty, to demand it, to be insolent towards the universe - to be strong. I want to be something I can be proud, something you could, maybe, be proud of.

Il ne reste que moi et mes bêtes noires, à présent. Le mal est fait et non, on n'est plus les mêmes. Personne n'est jamais pareil après, parce que on s'est foutu de l'autre. L'égo, le soi comptait plus que l'autre - le défaut humain à son meilleur. On se dit qu'on voulait simplement éviter la souffrance, mais c'est faux - on n'est plus le même.
Que reste-il, alors? Outre les décombres des dix derniers mois, et mon soi, pas grand chose. Je ne suis plus le même et j'ai besoin du temps, pour moi. Pour laisser tomber ces bêtes noires. Pour me perdre et, enfin, me retrouver.
reading my old journals and wondering
i used to care about so much.
now, i don't care for anything at all.
not myself.
not my boyfriend.
not my family.
not money.
just nothing.
but... what happened?
i used to want to be happy and beautiful and now...
i don't know. i just want to be ugly.
stay quiet on the set
it's getting hard to focus on faking it
i'm just seeing that really, i'm the one worth leaving.

ALGIZ: sanctuary, divine protection
Szkiela continues, "thus, Odin recounts a spell (stanza 157 of Hávamál, Viking poetry):
"I know a twelfth one if I see, up in a tree,
A dangling corpse in a noose,
I can so carve and color the runes,
That the man walks, and talks with me."
INGUZ: true love, harmony, fertility
KENAZ: fire, knowledge, enlightened mind
MANNAZ: spirit of humanity, man, divine union
TEIWAZ: victory, warrior, triumphant
OTHALA: heritage, ancestral home
Runes is a collaboration between RedSofa jewelry and Ovate, for the designer's fall/winter 2012 clothing collection.

What Is Search Engine Marketing?
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is a paid form of advertising on the web. Also known as Pay-Per-Click (PPC) or Cost Per Click (CPC) advertising, the system uses search engine keywords to determine the best placement for your advertisement. You can choose to have text ads placed on one of many search networks (Search Advertising), text, image, interactive or banner ads on the content network (Contextual Advertising) or both.
While anyone can set up their own PPC campaign, it takes careful study and evaluation to make it successful and maximize your return on investment. You may have already tried to manage your own account, only to see little results with few true leads generated. An SEM campaign can instantly increase visibility and generate traffic, but its return on investment is never static. When the metrics of success are always changing, getting the most from every dollar spent requires constant, long-term refining of every variable and detail.
Search Advertising
SEM is an affordable, cost-effective way to drive customers in any type of industry. By showing only to potential clients who searched on your keywords, you can turn browsers into buyers. PPC campaigns must be managed continuously to make sure that keywords stay current and relevant to your business. Search advertising is used by search engines to display advertisements on their search results pages based on the keywords in the user's query.
Contextual Advertising
With Contextual Advertising, your ads show when consumers are visiting websites that are relating to the product or service you are promoting. A contextual advertising system scans the text of a website for keywords and returns advertisements to the webpage based on those keywords. The advertisements may be displayed on the webpage as text ads, image ads, interactive ads, banner ads or even video ads. For example, if the user is viewing a website pertaining to dogs and that website uses contextual advertising, the user may see advertisements for dog-related companies, such as dog trainers or dog food resellers. Contextual advertising is a form of targeted advertising in which the content of an ad is in direct correlation to the content of the web page the user is viewing.

The Folsom Chamber has given me the opportunity to surround myself with fellow business owners that truly care about the Folsom community. The Chamber's consistent attention to member needs has helped me expand my business network. Only the Folsom Chamber gives me that opportunity.
National Study: Consumers 63% more likely to buy from Chamber Members
The results of the Schapiro study are clear: positive perception increases among consumer and business owners when a business is identified as a member of the chamber of commerce.
Business-to-Consumer: Consumers are 63% more likely to buy goods and services from a company they believe is a member of the chamber of commerce.
Business-to-Business: When business decision-makers believe that a business is a chamber member, they are 58% more likely to think positively of its local reputation and 59% more likely to buy goods and services from it.

Winter Weather Awareness Week 2014
The week of October 19th through the 25th is Winter Weather Awareness Week in Colorado. The four National Weather Service offices responsible for collecting weather data and issuing forecasts, outlooks, watches, warnings, and advisories for Colorado encourages the media and public to heighten their awareness of winter weather hazards across the Centennial State. One means to accomplish this goal is the issuance of public information statements (PNSs) which the media (print and electronic) and emergency management can pass along to the public. The National Weather Service's direct link to its users, NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio, is also used in this campaign.
All these efforts help us to build a Weather-Ready Nation...which will make America safer by saving lives and protecting livelihoods.
Here are the public information statements:
Winter Travel
Watches, Warnings, and Advisories
Winter Winds
Wind Chill
Avalanches in Colorado
Wrap up for Winter Weather Awareness Week
Downloadable National Weather Service brochures are available, including a Winter Weather Safety brochure, by clicking HERE and scrolling to the bottom of the web page.
The Southern Colorado Guide to Frequently Used NWS Terms is available on this web site. In the left-hand side blue bar, under the "Additional Info" section, select "Other Useful Links". Then, under the "Educational" section, select Media Guide, or simply click HERE.

Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam! #1
- Posted by Johanna on July 25, 2008 at 7:45 am
- Category: KC, Superhero Reviews
- CREDITS: by Mike Kunkel
- PUBLISHER: DC Comics; $2.25 US
Review by KC Carlson
Despite having a title that sounds like a 1970s Doug Henning TV special, Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam! (let's just call it Shazam!, shall we?) is actually a cute little book.
Written, drawn, colored, stapled and printed by Mike Kunkel, the singular force behind the robust and heartwarming Herobear and the Kid of a couple years back, this version of Shazam! looks like just the thing to wash away the painful attempts to update the Captain and company over the last couple of years (especially Mary… poor, poor Mary…). Why no one thought of doing Shazam! as a kid's book before just boggles my little mind.
Following up on Jeff Smith's successful relaunch of the characters (kinda), Kunkel has given everybody makeovers in his extremely effective animation-like style (and I applaud the removal of some of the distracting construction lines that previously appeared in his work). Kunkel obviously realized the humor in the dynamics of size as Billy Batson is drawn as a mostly normal kid, dwarfed by the cartoonishly huge Captain Marvel. But the coup de grace is the re-imagining of Mary Marvel as a hyperkinetic 7-year-old girl who flits around like Tinkerbell to Cap's Peter Pan. Brilliantly, Kunkel avoids making Mary a female copy of Cap by giving her more superspeed than he has — and of course she lords it over him as little sisters are wont to do. I suspect that Mary's actually a little smarter than Billy as well, despite that "wisdom of Solomon" thing. But Billy definitely got the power and strength in the family, as he demonstrates throughout the issue.
In this first issue, Cap and Mary solve the problem of a circus train and a too-small tunnel, Billy pretends to be his own father at a parent-teacher conference, he checks in with his job at WHIZ as a TV talk show host, and Billy gets lectured by Shazam. Plus, there's this sinister looking kid named Theo wandering around with partial amnesia (he can't seem to remember his magic word. Hmmm…), who looks like big trouble for Billy in the very near future! Better check back next issue! I know I will!
The first issue rocks, and it looks like Kunkel is truly excited to be doing it. There are all kinds of fun bits in the story and artwork, and I am blown away by the coloring, which looks like it was done in crayon and watercolors! Here's hoping he can maintain this enthusiasm and excitement every month! Shazam! is a fantastic addition to the high-quality Johnny DC line of comics for kids of all ages.

July 25, 2008 at 5:31 PMMy only "complaint" is that young Black Adam reminded me too much of Kid Miracleman. And we don't want young Theo to turn out like THAT. :>

July 25, 2008 at 8:51 PMThis sounds pretty fun. I just read the collection of Smith's stories a few weeks ago, thank you inter-library loan, and it was the first time I'd really *gotten* the Shazam family.
I was hoping someone would pick up from that, this sounds like it has possibilities.
- Tim O'Shea Says:

MacKenzie Peyton went into the KHSAA state golf tournament in Bowling Green Oct. 7 and 8 as one of the favorites and hovered in the top ten for two days. But Peyton could never get a string of birdies going and wound up in a three-way tie for fifth place with two other contenders, Anna Hack, the 2012 winner, and Maddie Hamilton of Sacred Heart, who tied with Peyton for second in last year's tournament.
After taking time off during fall break, the Henry County Cross Country team was back in action Saturday at the Collins High School Titans Classic.
Henry County fielded a full girls team in this race with Katherine Buckler leading the way in a time of 25:00.22. But three of her teammates, Janey Thompson, Sydney Amyx and Lilly Golden were close behind as all four girls finished within 47 seconds of each other.
Gracie Golden also competed after being out earlier in the season with an injury. She finished in 27:42.

The Eminence Warriors traveled to Williamstown Oct. 6 and came away with a 3-0 victory for their 13th win of the season.
The Warriors got the convincing win despite missing Kennedy Fitzgerald who was out with an illness.
Sarah Bryant filled in for Fitzgerald and played middle hitter while Emily Coomes moved to outside hitter.
The Warriors came out aggressively according to Coach Morgan Bullock and kept control of momentum throughout the match.
The Henry County Wildcat soccer team closed out the regular season with a trip to Frankfort to take on the Frankfort High School Panthers and were done in by a slow start as Frankfort prevailed 4-0.
The Panthers put three goals in the net in the opening half to take a commanding lead.
The Eminence Warriors honored their senior volleyball players, families and friends Thursday night before their match with Portland Christian.
The Henry County Lady Cats closed the regular season with two games on the road last week. Monday night they traveled to take on the Frankfort Lady Panthers and came away with a 3-1 win. Wednesday night they traveled to Shelbyville to take on the Collins Lady Titans and fell 4-1.

The Lady Cats started slow but came on strong against the Lady Panthers.
The Henry County Lady Cats' volleyball team traveled to Frankfort Oct. 7 to take on the Western Hills Lady Wolverines and fell 25-20, 25-23, 25-18.
"I felt like we were very evenly matched in this one," Coach Katie Ruff said. "However, at times, we lacked focus and desire to win."
The coach did point out some positive play by several players.
The Henry County Lady Cats hosted Carroll County Sept. 30 and came away with 3-0 victory despite a lackluster first half. The team also welcomed back top scorer Rachel Vegh from a two-week layoff due to injury. Vegh played sparingly as she works her way back from a knee injury but managed to score with 21:19 left in the game.
The first half ended scoreless despite the fact that the Lady Cats possessed the ball for almost the entire 40-minute period but produced few clear-cut scoring chances.
The Eminence Warriors dropped two of three matches last week but got the one that mattered most as they defeated Gallatin County 3-2 to earn the second seed in the 31st District tournament. The Warriors started the week with a heartbreaking defeat in an entertaining and exciting 2-1 loss to Bullitt Central and ended the week with a 2-0 loss to Spencer County.

Hello all.
Today PMnet experienced some downtime that lasted 1-2 hours. Nothing too big; it was a server side cause and now we are back up and running. However, I had to replace some content because I found some things missing. If you find anything wrong, or missing, such as screenshots or posts that you know should be there, please post here or email me to let me know.

I've been busy somewhere else, but I just remembered an old saying among politicians (how appropriate for PM.net!) that for every letter or phone call they get on a subject, there are a lot of other people out there who didn't call or write or whatever for any of millions of reasons but who agree with the one who did, so those who do act represent lots of those who don't! A little hokey, perhaps, but it may pay to remember that when not many are posting, it does not mean no one is reading reviews, etc. After all, you just got a bigwig publisher or whatever they were concerned over your readers!
It occurs to me that their asking you to take down the post must mean that a lot of people must have downloaded it in a short time for them to notice it, which means you have a lot of readers/viewers or users or whatever you want to call them, even if you don't always get a lot of reply postings.
Thanks for the prompt posting–glad I got RM7 when I did, then. Sometimes you just gotta go for it! I guess you can delete my post it complicates things, but you might want to know that as of an hour and twenty minutes ago, (same as yesterday), the for-free-on-internet.com site still has the RM7 free offer up on its pages as originally posted Thursday, January 29, 2009 as 23:48 in his time zone, wherever that is, so you were first!
P.S.–I forgot to add that the date of that missing post was Wednesday, January 28th, 2009 at 11:45 pm and was filed under Freebies, it says.
Yes!! Your're back!! I worried about you but could not come up with anything that I could do about whatever the problem was, so I just hoped for the best
The only thing I see missing is the post about free PC Tools Registry Mechanic 7, which I have a hard copy of if you need me to send it to you somehow. I had taken advantage of the offer and reported to you that the RM engine in Desktop Maestro 2 is apparently version 5.6 and that it is not updated by installing RM7 after DM2. Also Smart Update is not working in DM2, FWIW (to keep it from downloading DM3?)
Good to see you picking up where you left off with the new offers you are reporting on!
Hi Ashraf,
yes I tried to mail you last night but wasn't able to do so following your server downtime.Now everything seems ok!!
So if you want to read my message just go to the yesterday's GAOTD webpage.
Cheers from Italy!!

In Iran, US runner joins the races
Sarah Kureshi was the only American athlete at the 4th Islamic Women Games.
The middle-distance runner didn't know what to expect, as the first American female athlete to compete in Iran since the Islamic revolution in 1979.
She even brought the Stars and Stripes, uncertain whether the Iranians would provide a flag for the opening ceremony.
But as the sole American competitor in the 4th Islamic Women Games in Tehran this week, she needn't have bothered. Officials here "had a big US flag ready," says Saira Kureshi, and Iranians have provided a big welcome to match.
"It's wonderful to get to know people as people, regardless of what the governments say," Ms. Kureshi says, referring to the 25-year estrangement between the US and the Islamic Republic. "Part of the purpose [of coming here] is to bridge some of the gaps ... and show Iran that Americans are interested in them and their culture."
Competing for medals has taken second place to the experience of visiting Iran and participating with nearly 1,700 young women from nearly 40 countries, in events ranging from handball to the high jump.
Kureshi ran one heat of the 1,500 meters before illness forced her to the sidelines. But she has been the focus of steady Iranian media interest, with journalists exploring her views of Iran and its stormy relations with the US.
"I'm proud to be an American Muslim athlete - I love America, and the freedom [there] to be a Muslim; and I love Iran," says Kureshi, who made the visit with one coach who helped organize the US presence.
Some 40 other Muslim-American women wanted to compete in Iran, but could not break from study or work commitments, says Kureshi, who last competed four years ago as a member of her college track and cross-country teams.
Kureshi only heard of the chance two months ago, when a message was sent out by the Muslim Women's League in the US, canvassing for participants. "No one in America had even heard of these games," says Kureshi, adding that she was nevertheless impressed by the level of competition.
A further group of seven non-Muslim women trainers were asked to introduce a new sport - they had chosen Ultimate Frisbee, and had printed 700 specially for the event - but were not granted visas.
The request had come from Faizah Hashemi, daughter of former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani who is head of Iran's Women's Sports Federation and organizer of the women's games.

What's all this then?
I've decided to write something every week about my progress building Jobs Tractor. I'm learning a lot as I go, this is my first time building something like this myself so there's a lot to learn. I'll benefit by writing my experiences down as I should then remember the lessons better and hopefully it could be of use/interest to others doing similar things.
If you want to know more about Jobs Tractor, head over to http://jobstractor.com and take a read. Right now I need bloggers interested in being part of the initial group of publishers and employers interested in advertising their jobs on those blogs. I'll not writeup the history of the idea here or what it's about, I'm going to concentrate on my experiences in the previous week. I may drop a few bits of history in as well in time.
Weekly update : 7 May 2011
My focus this week was on getting some feedback on Jobs Tractor and to start talking to some bloggers about being part of the network. I'd had the site up for about a week and was keen to start getting some feedback before making any decisions to spend more time developing it. I've been on holiday from my regular fulltime job last week, but I had some freelancing in working in Cardiff at the BBC for my old boss. It was a good week, but time consuming. I was in London all day Saturday, Cardiff on Tuesday and then back in Cardiff Thursday evening through to Friday afternoon (3 hrs sleep). This did leave me some good time for pushing Jobs Tractor on a bit as well though.
Similar offerings
I found a couple of similar offerings (both now defunct) which I'll write more about another time. At first this left me feeling a bit down as I was wondering what I was wasting my time for when others had already tried and failed. On closer inspection one turned out to be fairly different from myself but still worth learning lessons from although they had been in business for a very short period of time. Another was very similar (same pricing, similar revenue structure for bloggers) and had operated for at least two and maybe as long as 3 years. Both companies closed their doors in 2009 citing the downturn in recruitment as a cause, although not exclusively blaming that in the former case as there had been other issues. I guess if you operate a business relying on providing revenue to bloggers then a downturn in revenues of any longer than a month or two can be enough for them to start looking elsewhere and start impacting the attractiveness of your service.
I've emailed a few of the bloggers who were using each of the services above and heard back from one already. I've made one decision about the product based on this but I'm hoping to get more responses in future.
What I learned
- The way back machine is a very useful tool for researching companies which no longer exist.
- Short polite emails to people can really work, not everyone responds but it's nice when they do.
- If your website has a load of stuff about how recruitment agencies are a pain in the arse, don't email a blogger whose day job is as a recruitment consultant asking what he thinks of your idea ;)
- The MVP for Jobs Tractor is I think going to need location targeting, so readers see jobs relevant to where they physically are. I'd dropped this from version 1.0 in an attempt to speed things up. I don't think this will be a big problem to implement as I've already looked into it a bit.
Marketing/Launch plan
A bit over a week ago I went along to Thirsty Thursday intent on picking some brains for how to get started marketing Jobs Tractor. I had a few conversations but ended up mostly a bit downhearted that I didn't really know what I was doing and probably had a mountain (range) to climb. Over the weekend I did some reading, watched this great interview and started making notes. I ended on a bit of a high that I at least had a plan, or probably more like a plan to get to the point where I could create a real plan, but hey!
I'm not sure about AdWords yet as I'm not sure how to target the people I'm after, after an hour or so tinkering with the keyword tool I'd got some notes on possible keywords to target but wasn't sure of how it'd work for me at this stage. I sketched out a Reddit ad, Reddit seems like it could be worthwhile for attracting employers. StumbleUpon looks interesting but I think I'd need something entertaining to submit and then direct people over to the main site if I could. I'm keen to try to validate the publisher side of the proposition first if I can, I don't think any of these approaches are the best way to go about that.
I decided to put any ad spend on hold for now and start contacting some potential publishers directly. I've heard back from one already so need to ramp up efforts a bit. Once I've got some publishers interested I think advertising to try to bring in employers will make sense.
What I learned
- Marketing is fun, or at least learning new stuff is interesting. Reading up about similar offerings and hatching plans for getting the good word out there is interesting. Turns out I like scheming.
- Working out who to contact and contacting them directly is more work than creating an ad but a whole lot cheaper and at least you know the right people have seen your pitch.
- I can see how if I had money to spare I'd probably be burning through that right now rather than doing something I don't enjoy (emailing people I don't know) which is going to be more useful right now.
Useful resources

- Gabriel Weinberg's Reddit ad writeup
- Winning the web Reddit ad experience
- Search YC for lists of popular blogs
- Alexa to check out how popular sites you're thinking of contacting are
I was scared of a few things this week. The election system I was supporting going tits up on Thursday night was high on the list. On Thursday afternoon I submitted Jobs Tractor to hacker news as a 'Show HN' and watched it disappear off the bottom of the new page having gained no up votes, not sure why but I'd been nervous before I submitted the link. I also submitted a blog post about my recruitment process on my personal blog to HN, again it disappeared. Obviously neither of these were interesting enough, maybe next time. I'd had the fear when I first emailed someone about Jobs Tractor but now it's not a problem, just shows you get over these things pretty fast.
Next Week
I'm back to work next week and back on the train so can start getting some work done on the commute. I need to continue contacting bloggers who might be interested and see what I can find out from bloggers who had used the two similar offerings to check I'm not making a mistake. It'd also be good to get some work done on the location targeting and maybe get some blogger/s to try to put my ad code on their site to check there aren't any issues doing that…
